For more Information
This commentary has been written and produced by Master
Leonard Paul Lambert,
For the first time ever, the mystery of striking vital points will be revealed to you the reader. The much-coveted Dead Arm Method (I call it a method because there are many techniques contained in it) is now made clear to all who wish to understand this specialized method of striking vital points.
There have been many pressure point striking books marketed around the world. Many of you have found that reading about pressure points did not give you the ability to successfully strike those points. Some of those readers went to all parts of the globe to see Masters perform pressure point strikes but that did little to help them other than confirm that it works. I can go on and on about money spent on books, work shops, seminars as well as video tapes. The long and the short of it is that reading about pressure points and seeing someone striking them, probably won't help you much. Unless someone teaches you the methods and or techniques used to strike those pressure points that you studied about in those books and traveled to see demonstrated, as those author s well know, you will never be able to perform these strikes in a combat situation. Even if it helped to learn one or two points at a seminar, which can end up being very costly as some of you already know, to get a simple understanding of striking vital points has cost some people thousands of dollars, for all of the above products. So save your money and read this article. Please take your time read and reread this article on the Dead Arm Method, till you understand it. You may find it to be the key factor to understand and comprehend the knowledge that those very masters recognize and use, but would not tell you in their books and at their seminars. When you combine the Dead Arm Method with a good understanding of the vital points of the human body, point striking will start to become usable in combat.
Starting to understand.
I witnessed this very technique, for the first time when one of my Shorin Ryu master instructors, I will call him M.R.G. who, to a large degree, understood this method given to him by his master O.S.H.S. and his top student M.F.K. who, really understood it well. It was shown to me by M.R.G. and at my request it was described to me. I carefully studied this method till it became a skill. Therefore I have earned the right to describe it to you my students. And the diligent student will achieve success in learning it. With out learning the Dead Arm Technique, there is little hope that any student will consistently strike any of the known pressure points. Fore the Dead Arm Method incorporates all the techniques that makes pressure point striking work!
Penetration is key.
Penetration is one of the highest qualities in a successful vital point strike or for that matter any strike weather it's a block, kick or punch. Penetration means, the infiltration of muscle mass to the place where the vital point exists. This penetration is provided by the Dead Arm Method and not just by the head of the weapon (fist, arm, foot) that you are using. One may argue that I am simply describing focus. well no I am not! The method I am about to illustrate is more than focus, although focus is a technique that must be highly developed to step up to the Dead Arm Method which is not just focus, but incorporates real focus.
Your incentive for developing the Dead Arm Method is, all points of the human body consisting of vital points that happen to be very deep inside the body, covered by a lot of well developed layers of muscle. In these cases, it would not only be necessary to have your weapon (primarily hands & feet) strong and hardened by training them. You would also need the ability to drive your chosen weapon deep enough into that muscle mass to reach the targeted vital point, be it a nerve, artery, vein, or point on a meridian. The Dead Arm Method is what true traditional Okinawa Kara Te, as well as all hard and soft styles used to propel the hardened weapon deep into the body to hit the target area. In China it is called Jing but the dead arm technique is the Japanese equivalent of Jing. Although the Dead Arm Method is not the same thing as Jing, both have the same purpose. Jing will be discussed in another article.
The Dead Arm Method is a technique that will be hard to verbalize. The reason is, I can discuss the techniques involved in this method with you all day long, that, in itself, will not give you the ability to perform the Dead Arm Technique. Even if I demonstrate the technique a thousand times, that in itself, will not give you the ability to perform it. But maybe with my explanation and quit a bit of thinking and trying on your part and lots of time and hard work, you may come to discover this method for yourselves, (which is the Okinawa Masters way). The reason I write any instructional material on my web site is so that you the student will have a partial stepping-stone type of understanding of terms and techniques. If you are the one in ten thousand who wishes to learn real Kara Te practiced in ancient times, and will work hard to develop these techniques to a single skill, you will know a hidden mystery. But you will work for it I promise you!
Many techniques become one method.
First lets define relaxation. The Funk & Wagnall, in its sixth explanation of the state of being relaxed states, that it is the act of becoming less stringent or severe. For example, when you were a white belt the instructor may have ordered the class to fall into a right front stance and perform a left middle reverse punch. You may have found yourself, on your first days of class, to be nervous which caused you to be rigid and possibly finding it very difficult to perform. You may have looked and felt like a pig on roller skates! But after ten thousand such executions of that same reverse punch the tightness left you and you started to become more and more relaxed. That bad feeling of performing this technique left you. This would be a prerequisite to learning the Dead Arm Method. Absolute relaxation is the reason the Okinawa Masters named this technique Dead Arm, meaning relaxed arm, when applied to the arm. It is when relaxation of mobility and spirit, the shen or the mind produce easy moving and relaxed QI flow that, 1) protects the body 2) brings protective QI to the striking weapon 3) with special training can shot QI into the enemy or suck QI out of his body.
The second would be to focus on the true target or real focus target. The word focus could be defined as: 1. Optics, The point to which a system of light rays converges after passage through a lens or other optical arrangement, or after reflection from a mirror. 2. The point from which such rays appear to diverge 3. The place where a visual image is clearly formed as in the eye of a camera, the point of convergence of the rays is called real focus;
Understanding how the use of eye glasses work, can help use understand the term real focus, better. The human eye that is physically impaired may not be able to identify what the eye thinks it sees or has targeted with out the use of a glass lens in front of it. The lens may clarify the targeted image. For example, if a man who is not wearing his glasses is looking down a road he may truly believe he sees a tree but then putting on his glasses he finds that it is not a tree but a man instead. The lens brings the image closer or magnifies the image. So it was the putting a lens between his eyes and the target (the man) that causes the image to become clear. This would be called true focus or real focus.
Now lets change the picture a little bit. In the martial arts, the real focus point is the hidden vital point hidden under the surface of the skin. It becomes clear that an understanding of the point to be hit and an ability to visualize the targeted vital point called (real focus) is imperative when striking a point. Without understanding the target vital point all the additional techniques in the world will become useless. It is imperative that you use your imagination to visualize the target pressure point before striking the target. You must apply relaxation of the arm and visualization of the target vital point or use real focus.
The third addition is thrust. Thrust is defined as the driving force exerted by certain propulsive devices for instance, in a jet plane, it is the engine of a jet that gives it thrust. There are many ways to gain more thrust when using an appendage to strike a human target. Many of these ways are a part of all basic martial arts. Some of them are reserved for the advanced student some depending on the style, are not. These advanced thrusting techniques are used to create more thrust by means of twisting and coiling. For example, pre twisting the upper torso, when delivering a strike, is very similar to the twisting of the body a batter would use in the sport of Baseball or a golfer uses to drive a ball across the fairway.
In the case of striking a vital point it is necessary to apply dynamic thrust to the target. Depending on the type of strike, you would use a twisting or coiling technique as a propellant to produce thrust.
The fourth technique is to be added to the intended weapon a quality of heaviness, This is the second reason the Masters named this technique DEAD ARM.
When striking a vital point. You must remember that real Kara Te is not the art of Boxing. Boxing is striking general targets, the jaw, the area of the heart, under the rib cage and so on. Kara Te is the art of striking vital points, an example is, the tip of the short rib, which is below the surface of the skin as well as the muscle involved, the center and the lower front area of the temple. The strike sends a vibration into the frontal lob of the brain, almost all strikes on the CV meridian are 3 to 5 inches beneath the surface of the skin. Penetration is a key factor and this fact can not be stressed enough.
Kara Te uses penetration. Sports like modern boxing, can't because it is a gloved art and Kara Te, was not founded with the use of gloves. It is an un gloved art. Boxing uses power as Kara Te uses penetration. Unfortunately many styles of modern martial arts teach that Kara Te as well as Gong Fu, strikes are the same as modern Boxing strikes and for this reason it is impossible for those schools to utilize vital points at all.
In the Practice of Sparring, which is used in Modern Kara Te today, this practice is a non Kara Te practice, which has installed the use of sparring gear for protection of the students and insurance purposes. A gloved hand is used in striking a general target in the same way as boxing. That's all it can do. Sorry to all instructors using this gloved method, This is not Kara Te or any martial art. Its boxing.
This is a formula, which you can learn for the Dead Arm Method that you may incorporate into a blocking technique to start off with. Lets start with a inside double bone block for example. To the form of the arm (which is a double bone block), apply heaviness by means of ultra relaxation of the arm within its movements, backed up with ultra thrust by means of twisting of the torso. When making contact use "real focus" and visualize the vital point target(as if his arm has become transparent). Again, add relaxation or heaviness to your thrust aimed at the target or "real focus" for the purpose of penetration which is incorporated into the dead arm method so that it is possible to penetrate through the surface of the target being hit to the place underneath the surface below the muscle and in certain instances when striking to the body, to an organ were pressure points are to be found. After a Dead arm strike has been accomplished, additional techniques may be added to complete a strike depending on the vital point.
The fifth technique, may be described in this way. When the dead weight of the arm, is used as a weapon it is delivered with a high-speed or trust using a whip like action toward a sub dermal pressure point. It would also have a quality of ultra relaxation of the arm without loss of form as if lifeless. The muscular systems of the arm used would keep the intended shape of the block or punch throughout its movement until penetration of the surface started to occur, and becomes increasingly tense until the target point is hit. It is relaxation that creates a whip like action to the block, punch or kick. What you may find difficult is to slowly bring tension into the picture as you make contact with the surface of the target point. Wo truly understand "whip like action" we need to know, what makes a whip work? What makes it crack? What makes it cut? These answers are in the wrist of the operator of the whip, With the proper flicking or snapping of the wrist the whip can take its proper form as it is aimed towards the intended target. A whip cannot be forced to travel. It is directed by the wrist of the operator. The operator must be relaxed so that relaxation can travel down the whip itself. This gives it the ability to bend. A master of the whip also knows the length of his whip and therefore knows how much thrust to apply, so that the speed and power increases as it travels down the shaft of the whip. When that whip strikes its target, the small strip of leather at the front end of the whip is traveling at ever-greater speeds and what ever crosses its path will be cut automatically, traveling below the surface of the target area.
When I demonstrate a basic block-strike technique using the Dead Arm Method the form of the block will always remain basically the same but in a ultra relaxed state. For example, in the execution of a strong block, at the start of the initial movement, the hand will loosen or relax slightly upon starting its movement. My torso begins to coil. As the strong block moves its total heaviness, the whipping motion causes the strong block to gain greater and greater speed. At the same time I drop my center of gravity, which roots me into the ground, and I can gain even greater thrust. By the time it hits the target it has such incredible speed, penetration is not a problem what so ever. In fact the power is accelerated so greatly that bone breaking is possible. For this reason with practice you can start to gage the amount of power that will be needed to trigger the pressure point by striking at the right depth.
A side note. Don't forget your breathing. Breathing is a lost art in today's schools for the most part. But that's another subject for another day.
These techniques involved in performing the Dead Arm Method, may at first seem complicated. Don't give up. With a step by step study of the method, along with your in-depth study of the pressure points, and of course your basic traditional style of Kara Te, the world of pressure point striking will become an open door, Enjoy.

This article is Part V in a 5-part series on earning more through freelancing.
Fine. I'll admit it. Freelancing isn't the best long-term strategy.
But just because you're on a constant hunt for the next sale doesn't mean you should scrap it. I hope that you have realized from the Freelancing Series this week that freelancing, coaching, and consulting are great ways to earn more in a short amount of time.
However, you can also use freelancing to earn much more over a longer period of time by using your skills to build more passive streams of income.
Yep, freelancing can be erratic
Freelancing doesn't scale well. Plain and simple. To make things more difficult, you need to be working to make money. In other words, a common failure of freelancing is that you either don't have enough work to fill your time or you have more than you can handle.
Sure, you can outsource some things. But, you can't outsource yourself! — Naomi Niles
My number one frustration about working as a freelancer is the inconsistency of my income — some months, I make 5 figures and other months I barely make 4 figures. — Heather Allard
Use the strengths to overcome the weaknesses
You can use these drawbacks as excuses for never getting started — or you can take this brilliant advice:
Most freelancers have experienced the "boom or bust" phase where one minute you have tons to work on, but the next you have nothing. To remove that, we spent a year or two focusing on creating additional streams of income through digital products and other services so that we can generally rely on other income should some of the freelance/service work dry up for a while. — Lea Woodward
My income fluctuates depending on how much work my clients want in a given month. One month recently, two of my bigger clients only took about a third of the usual amount of work … it wasn't a big problem, because I've built up some other sources of income which aren't dependent on clients. I sell ebooks, promote some products which I love (as an affiliate), and sell advertising space on a few of my websites. — Ali Luke
Plus, freelancing makes your products better
Consulting is excellent market research. I often get product ideas from working with clients. — Corbett Barr
I have products too, but products give less feedback. I'll always have a place for one–on–one work in my business. — Catherine Caine
Only one time have I taken on a small handful of clients who paid either $5,000 or $10,000 for high end coaching directly from me. This is something I did not just for the money, but to spend time getting closer to the problems people have… — Yaro Starak
Resist making excuses by saying that freelancing isn't worth it because you're trading time for money. You will gain valuable insight from working with clients that you never would have gathered elsewhere.
(Note: Even if you're just starting out, you can freelance for $20 per hour. And for 99% of people, that $20 is going to be $20 higher than what they earned in "passive income" during that same hour.)
The key takeaway? Continue to build
Yes, freelancing involves trading time for money. No, that is not a valid reason to avoid it. Freelancing offers you quick access to additional income. Use it to build something more sustainable — your own products.
I think the most important thing you can do is build a business where coaching isn't your #1 source of income, because then you can pick and choose who you take on as clients. — Everett Bogue
Freelancing opens the door to earning more and creating freedom. Use it.
Get out there and start earning more. You can figure out the rest once you've started. What step can you take today to move forward? Do that, and then continue to build.
If you're serious about earning more, then sign up for Passive Panda's Freelancing 101 Course. It's included for free when you join Passive Panda's Free Newsletter on Earning More.
The course and newsletter are totally free, but I am still willing to say that you will earn $500 in 5 weeks if you put the tactics to use right away. In fact, I personally used the exact strategies in the course to earn $655 from just 6 hours of work on my first try.
This article is Part V in a 5-part series about earning more through freelancing.

Ronin -- An international team of former intelligence agents is hired to carry out a dangerous mission in this character-driven post-Cold War action adventure directed by veteran filmmaker John Frankenheimer. When the caper goes awry, each member reveals his true self. Featured among the operatives are Robert De Niro, Stellan Skarsgard, Jean Reno, Jonathan Pryce, Sean Bean and Natascha McElhone. Of the story whose title derives from the Japanese word meaning masterless samurai: The characters, both male and female, are terribly good at what they do, they just have no place to do it anymore. They're hired to pull off a job, get double-crossed twice and have to get out of it. During a difficult job, the men and their morality, or lack of it, is revealed.
Ronin -- A freelancing former US intelligence agent tries to track down a mysterious package that is wanted by both the Irish and the Russians.
A group of freelance intelligence agents work together to steal a mysterious package, only to have a doublecross throw things into confusion. A gritty, international action caper.
In a Paris caf , an Irish woman named Deirdre (Natascha McElhone) meets five men, taking them to a warehouse and briefing them on a mission. The men, Spence (Sean Bean), Larry (Skipp Sudduth), Gregor (Stellan Skarsg rd), Vincent (Jean Reno) and Sam (Robert De Niro), are all former special forces soldiers or intelligence operatives now working as mercenaries. The team will attack a heavily-armed convoy and steal a suitcase, its contents unknown (a MacGuffin). Following the briefing, the team begins assembling their equipment. Deirdre meets with her handler Seamus (Jonathan Pryce), who reveals that Russian gangsters are bidding for the case and that the team must act quickly to intercept it. Later at the warehouse, Spence is exposed as a fraud and is summarily released from the team, who then depart for Nice, where for the next several days they observe the convoy and plan an ambush. The team engages the convoy and pursue the survivors through the surrounding highways in the country. After a lengthy car chase and gun battle, they successfully obtain the case, but Gregor betrays the team and steals the case for himself before disappearing, leaving a fake case that explodes, seriously injuring Larry.
Gregor attempts to sell the case to the Russians but shoots his contact when he attempts betrayal. Gregor contacts Mikhi, the leader of the gangsters and threatens to sell the case to the Irish unless Mikhi pays a grossly inflated price for it, which Mikhi agrees to. Meanwhile, the rest of the team track Gregor through one of Sam's old CIA contacts and corner him in the Roman arena in Arles. Following a tense standoff and hectic firefight with Gregor and the Russians negotiating with him, Gregor escapes the coliseum but is kidnapped by Seamus, who kills Larry and escapes with Deirdre just as Sam and Vincent emerge from the coliseum. Sam, seriously wounded from the fight, is taken by Vincent to his friend Jean-Pierre (Michael Lonsdale) in a villa in rural France. After

Moses Willard Bartlett
Bartlett Hall, whose construction began in 1914, was named for one of the members of the original Normal School (UNI) faculty in 1876. Moses Willard Bartlett was Professor of Mathematics from 1876 until 1881. In 1881 he became Professor of English Language and Literature. In June, 1880, he was elected Assistant Principal of the school; he held that position until 1888. He retired in 1904.
Bartlett was born in New Hampshire in 1834. He earned a Bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College in 1857 and received an honorary Master's degree from Iowa College in 1869.
Before coming to Iowa, Bartlett taught in Massachusetts and New York. After arriving in Iowa, he was a professor of Latin and Greek at Western College in Toledo, Iowa, and was the acting president of the school from 1865 until 1867. From 1867 until 1873 he taught Latin and Greek at Denmark Academy in Denmark, Iowa. Before he was hired at the Normal School (UNI), he was the principal of Memphis Academy in Memphis, Missouri, for three years. He believed that the teaching profession was "second to none."

The "Fiscal Cliff" is the description some economists have used to describe the potential situation at the end of 2012 when several U.S. tax and fiscal changes are scheduled to occur. This "perfect storm" of change includes the expiration of the Bush income tax cuts at the end of 2012, and in January 2013 some new taxes plus scheduled increases in income and estate taxes. Some Federal spending cuts are also scheduled to occur as part of the automatic spending cuts Congress agreed to in the Budget Control Act of 2011. The concerns are that all of these changes could lead to a double-dip recession. In other words a recession followed by a short recovery, then another recession in 2013.
What is involved with the fiscal cliff?
Automatic spending cuts are set to begin in 2013 in the following areas:
- Â Â Defense
- Â Non-Defense areas such as education, food inspectors, air travel safety, etc
The Bush tax cuts expire including:
- Â Income tax rate increases
- Â Capital gains rates increase
- Â Qualified dividend rates increase
- Â Child tax credit is reduced
- Â American Opportunity Tax Credit expires
- Â Earned Income Tax Credit changes
- Â Marriage penalty relief expires
- Â Estate tax exemption decreases
- Â Gift tax lifetime exemption decreases
- Â Top estate and gift tax rates increase
 Other tax changes include:
- Â Increase in the employee payroll tax withholding
- Â No Alternative Minimum Tax patch
- Â New 3.8% Medicare surtax
- Â New .9% Medicare additional withholding
 Miscellaneous changes include:
- Â Unemployment benefits extension expire
-  "Doc Fix" which is a cut in reimbursement rates that physicians receive for treating Medicare patients is implemented.
 This is not intended to be a complete list.
We cannot predict the future or how the President and Congress will act. However, there are opportunities that are available before any potential changes occur.
Items to consider before 2012 year end:
- Â Did a Roth conversion take place?
- Â Capital Gains/Dividends:Â Discuss the 0-15% rates with your tax advisor
- Â Charitable donations: No itemized deduction phase-outs
- Â Gifts:Â $5.12 lifetime gift tax exemption and $13,000 annual gift tax exclusion
- Â Nonqualified annuities: If appropriate for your situation, may provide income-tax deferral of earnings and retirement savings
 Items to consider after 2012 year end:
Get updates on current tax information; estate and gift tax information, see your tax advisor as needed.

Although the installation is simple, do not attempt this installation unless you possess the necessary skills to safely complete all steps. Please contact Coin Guard, Inc. for factory assistance or any safety questions.
After you gain experience, (if you use the pop rivet method) you will probably install COIN GUARD as we do, without removing the upper housing. This is a very safe procedure if the drill penetration is controlled by a drill stop (3/16 i.d. rubber tubing, cut to length). Speed is the big advantage when installing large numbers. Three minute installations are possible with experience, but please start by removing the upper housing to get some experience for the installation and to see how deep to set the drill stop in order to prevent damage to your coin mechanism when you leave the upper housing in place. Either way, the techniques or steps are similar and easy. The stainless steel one-way bolts and lock nuts are simple and do not require a pop rivet gun, but the upper housing must be removed.
A) ALIGNMENT (fig. 1) The aluminum alignment guide, by fitting in both the COIN GUARD and phone slot, allows easy alignment. It is important that the aluminum guide fits snugly in the face plate coin slot. The width of the coin slot varies by manufacturer, but this problem is easily overcome by adding or subtracting tape on the slot portion of the alignment guide. By varying the tape, you can get perfect positioning on your brand of face plate. If the COIN GUARD won't "wiggle," the position is perfect.
B) DRILLING (fig. 2) The properly positioned and held COIN GUARD becomes its own drilling jig. Be sure to hold the COIN GUARD "back" against the face plate and "down" towards the floor. Carefully, drill four 3/16" holes. Use a good quality Cobalt drill bit and drill at your slowest setting. Interrupt drilling frequently to cool the drill bit with WD-40 or water. Hold the drill perpendicular to the surface to prevent drift. Drill through the face plate and upper housing, stopping short of the coin mechanism. Insert a bolt or the large end of a rivet in each hold as you go. DO NOT SET RIVETS. Re-drill any hole that resist rivet or bolt insertion. Be careful not to mar COIN GUARD with the drill chuck. Remove and clean COIN GUARD and faceplate with a safe solvent.
C) SETTING RIVETS OR BOLTS (figs. 3 & 4) Remove aluminum alignment guide. Replace COIN GUARD with four unset rivets or bolts and check that coins pass freely. Set the four stainless steel pop rivets. Remember to remove the aluminum guide before setting the stainless steel rivets. The very heavy duty rivets require a long-arm commercial pop rivet gun to set properly. Hammer the "U"-drive screws into the set rivets for better security and "looks." Because the long-armed pop rivet guns are expensive and unattainable in some countries, we can supply stainless steel one-way security bolts and lock nuts.
D) CORRECTING MISALIGNMENT (fig. 5) Rarely, after some installations, there is a hold up of dimes at a slight mismatch or ridge at the bottom edge of the coin slot. NO PROBLEM. We have included, just for this possibility, a heavy duty "SAWS-ALL" blade to act as a narrow file to trim away and smooth the upper and lower edges of the coin passageway. Only if there is coin stoppage at these defects need the trimming to be done. Operate from inside the upper housing. File away any offending ridge or material, be sure to duplicate the down angle of the coin chute of approximately 20 degrees. Re-check for free passage of coins.
E) INSTALLING LARGE COIN MODEL When adapting phones to the larger coins of many countries, the 28mm model COIN GUARD is used, but frequently the coin slot must be opened up to a full 28mm. This is easily done with the edge file at the top of the coin slot.
|Fig. 1 The alignment guide must "fit" snugly. Adjust "fit" by adding or removing tape.
|Fig. 2 The properly fit alignment guide holds the Coin Guard secure. Hold the Coin Guard down and back and drill holes safely and straight.
|Fig. 3, 4 Remove the alignment guide and check for free passage of coins. Set the four rivets or bolts.
|Fig. 5 Correct any lower edge misalignment with the edge file
|Fig. 6 (LARGE COIN MODEL) Open up coin slot at top with edge file

FC Webicons Set Launched
If you're a website owner, here's a little something for you. FC Webicons is a set of resolution-independent social icons for use on your website. They use feature-detected SVG graphics (with PNG fallbacks) to display the icons over their appropriate negatively indented anchor titles.
All this means that your icons will look gorgeous on retina display devices as well as standard devices. These should come in really handy when you need 2x visuals with more detail than icon fonts can provide. Enjoy the icons!

Love it! Can't wait to use these. Will definitely prove useful and popular in the future.
J Hogue September 11, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Nice job. We've been using IcoMoon for single color SVG icons (used as a font for wider support) and they have been great. This look cool as it supports full color. Would be nice to see icons for file types as well – PDF, Doc, Excel, PPT and the like – as those come in handy for in-content links. Overall, great work…
Adam Fairhead January 8, 2013 at 5:43 pm
Glad you like them, Desi! The markup required to use them is included in with the download – simply copy and paste the markup for the icons you'd like to use into your site, and you should be good to go! If you'd like further help, hit me up with the Contact page of this site. I'll be happy to help you.

It all starts with love...
Love of horses, love of family, love of people, and love of doing the right thing.
My love of horses began at an early age. My dad was a guide and outfitter at the time, so we regularly had a small herd of horses at our place—unless it was hunting season, when they were all out West. My mom is a "horse person", too, so I guess you could say it's "in my genes."
Despite my love of dresses and all things "girly", I still managed to be "in my jeans" a fair amount of the time, either playing out and around our horses, or riding around the neighbourhood or out to one of Dad's permanent camps (on the rare occasions we took a family trip out).
Falling in Love
The summer I was nine, my parents acquiesced to my pleas to let me go riding alone. We had a dapple grey mare named Gal. Stubborn—my father made no secret that he was not overly fond of her—but she was stable, and short enough for a tall nine-year-old girl to get up on by herself. I tried to saddle her a few times, but of course, one of my parents always checked to make sure everything was snug… (Well, except that one time… but no harm done—I just learned how to slide off a horse instead of under the belly with the rig.)
That summer on top of Gal was full of magical memories. I took miles-long, hours-long rides all over the surrounding countryside (most of which was owned by relatives, so I guess my folks weren't too worried), all by myself. Riding a horse became my first taste of independence, of freedom—and all the magic that had only lived inside my head until then seemed absolutely real. Gal was slow, and grey, and kind of pudgy, but in my mind I was atop a brilliant silver unicorn, and we were dancing through woods filled with faery kind.
A Good Match
Fast-forward almost twenty years to 2005: it has been over a decade since I've been on a horse; I now have a family of my own; my dreams tend toward the artistic (I am a songwriter and composer—for more about that, go to my music website, www.talenawinters.com.); and I am looking for a way to stay home and raise my babies but still bring some extra income into our family.
I started selling saddle pads by accident—and "by accident", I mean, it was available. My mother, still very involved with the equine industry, had started up Wells Equine Products with her second husband, Vern Wells, in about 1998, with the idea of making the best-quality saddle pad in the world. Unfortunately, only a few years into their marriage and business venture, Vern passed away.
By the time I began looking for an income source, Mom had re-married to Mike Easton, the name of the company was changed to 5 Star Equine Products, it had moved to Arkansas, and they were just entering their sixth year of business.
Winters Distributing is Born
I approached Mike and Mom (Laurel) about becoming an online dealer, which they supported, but were hesitant about my choice of e-commerce
platform: eBay. After I convinced them to let me give it a try, I started up my new business. And that's when my learning curve began!
I loved the mission of their company, about creating products that were the best for the horse. I loved helping my customers get saddle pads that actually fixed their problems. And the more testimonials and glowing reports that filled up my inbox, the more convinced I became that I had finally found a business I could believe in.
I have worked in several different industries, but have discovered that this one has the best customers in the world. People who love their animals, and want to do the best they can to take care of them. People that I have learned so much from. Honest, forthright, decent folk who are a true pleasure to serve. People for whom the magic of horses is still alive and well.
Happily Ever After...
After several major moves (through which my online business remained open, almost uninterrupted), we have settled in northern Alberta, in the Peace Country. In 2009, we started "homesteading" on 60 acres of old pasture, and we're loving every minute. Despite the challenges, we are building our own little "farm", which now includes two dogs, two cats (this number is changeable, as most country folk
know), two roosters, and about twenty laying hens.
Hopefully, we are only a few years away from owning a few sheep, a cow or two, and finally having some horses of our own! Our land is my dream property, and our woods are filled with faery folk. I love walking through the trees, watching for the magic that they left laying about out of the corner of my eye.
I am so thankful that I have been able to stay home and home school my three wonderful boys. I am thankful that this business has allowed me to pursue my passion of songwriting. And I am thankful that, because of Winters Distributing, I have met so many wonderful people. It is because of you that I have finally ventured out to my own web store. You have made the whole, crazy ride enjoyable, and I thank you for your continued support.
As I said, it's all because of love. (And maybe a little magic.)
In wonder,
Talena Winters

Landlord cited for codes violations after Columbia Street fire
- Fire officials say there were not enough smoke alarms or fire extinguishers in the west Utica home that burned Wednesday morning, critically injuring a tenant.
Jeffrey Howarth, 50, lived at 914 Columbia Street, a building the Fire Chief has referred to as 'a boarding house.' Howarth is in SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse with first and second degree burns to much of his body and was upgraded from critical to serious condition.
The house failed a codes inspection in June 2012, but passed a month later after the owner addressed certain issues. The structure would not have been inspected for another three years unless a complaint was generated, or, as was the case Wednesday, a fire brought codes and fire officials to the home.
Now, landlord Michael Morrissey is cited for several new codes violations.
Among those violations was lack of fire extinguishers in what fire officials call a multi unit structure, lack of maintenance to existing smoke alarms, inadequate number of smoke alarms for that type of structure and, perhaps most significant, failure to register the property as a multiple dwelling structure.
Reached by phone shortly before Noon on Friday, Morrissey was bewildered by the allegation that he failed to properly register his property. He says it's not a boarding house, but rather is a two flat, two-family house. He says it is a matter of multiple people renting rooms within those apartments.

Gene Reynolds discusses with John Rich his career as a television director working on notable series like M*A*S*H and Lou Grant and his long-time service to the Director's Guild of America, including two terms as DGA President.
Gene Reynolds started acting at the age of 10 in films like Sins of Man; In Old Chicago; Of Human Hearts; The Crowd Roars; Boys Town; Edison, The Man; and many more. After Pearl Harbor, he enlisted and served four years in the Navy. After WWII, he continued to act in feature films and television series such as Dragnet; Hallmark Hall of Fame; Studio 57; Crossroads; Whirlybirds; and I Love LucyReynolds acted in the Hennessey series pilot, which led to the launch of his directing career. During the 1960s, he directed highly acclaimed series like Tales of Wells Fargo, for which he also wrote numerous episodes; Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Peter Gunn; My Three Sons; Leave It to Beaver; The Andy Griffith Show; F Troop; Hogan's Heroes; and Room 222, which he also produced and which won the Emmy for Outstanding New Series in 1970.
In the early 1970s, Reynolds scored a major hit with the television series M*A*S*H, which he both wrote for and executive produced. For M*A*S*H, he won DGA Awards in 1973 and in 1974. M*A*S*H won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1974, and was nominated three years in a row from 1975 to 1977. As a director, Gene won an Emmy for M*A*S*H in 1975 and 1976, and as a writer, he was nominated for an Emmy in 1976.
Reynolds had another big success with Lou Grant, which he wrote for, executive produced, and directed. For Lou Grant, he won a DGA Award in 1979, and was nominated again in 1980 and 1981. As director of the series, he was nominated for an Emmy for four years in a row from 1979 to 1982. The show won an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 1979 and 1980, and was nominated in 1978, 1981 and 1982. Reynolds was also nominated for his writing on Lou Grant in 1979 and 1980, received the Women in Film Humanitarian Award in 1981, and the Humanitas Prize in 1982.
In addition to episodic series, he has directed and produced movies for television like Anderson and Company; Southern Fried; If I Love you, Am I Trapped Forever?; Doing Life; and The Whereabouts of Jenny. More recently, he directed episodes of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman; Second Chances; Christy; Touched by an Angel; Promised Land, and the movie for television, How to Get There.
Gene Reynolds has been a Guild member since 1959. He held several positions on the National Board, including two terms as DGA President from 1993-1997. He also served on the Western Directors Council for more than two decades and held several offices on the Directors Guild Foundation Board of Trustees. He was chair of the 1993 Negotiations Committee and served on several other Negotiations Committees, as well as multiple terms on the Reality and Special Projects Committees. During his presidency, he conceived the idea of the DGA Student Film Awards – an annual competition recognizing outstanding women and minority students at film schools across the nation – and was chair of the Student Film Awards Committee from its inception. In 1993, Reynolds received the DGA's Robert B. Aldrich Achievement Award for his extraordinary service to the Guild and its members.
Director Gene Reynolds talks about the difficulty he had in casting the lead role for the pilot of M*A*S*H, and how he was able to land Alan Alda right before production began on the legendary series.
Gene Reynolds tells interviewer John Rich about how he shot the opening title sequence for M*A*S*H, and the simple, specific direction he gave to the actresses portraying nurses for one shot.
Reynolds recalls getting involved with the Guild right after joining in 1959, and explains why he emphasized cultivating younger leadership when he served on the National Board and as President.

Muslim Who Had Sex Change Operation Wants His Penis Back
No, really
A transsexual living in Mersin who underwent surgery to become a woman has requested a change in regulations so that she can return to being a man by having a penis reattached to her body.D.K., a 34-year-old originally from the eastern province of Van who describes herself as a believing Muslim, asked the Directorate of Religious Affairs whether it was religiously permissible to receive a penis transplant from a cadaver, but religious officials said it was impermissible unless the penis originally belonged to the transplant recipient.

There is a common misconception that a Hospice is where people go when they are ready to die, the last stop on life's journey.
These thoughts couldn't be further from the truth. When we think of our Hospice we think of the Life of our patients. We think of their dignity, and caring for and understanding their needs. We think of our respectful and committed staff, using their knowledge to provide a supportive, efficient and responsible service and in 2011/12 we provided our services to over 1,800 patients and their families on the Island. We think of the inspiring work that goes on every day within the Hospice and of all the support and loyalty that it inspires across the Island.
The Earl Mountbatten Hospice, while receiving a grant of a third of its running costs, still relies on the generosity of the public to raise over £2million each year to allow us to provide the services for which we are renowned.
We raise these funds through so many different avenues, we have a whole calendar full of Fundraising Events organised by the Hospice, that's not to mention all the events put on by loyal supporters on the Island. There's also money raised through money kindly left in will's and Legacies, money raised through our weekly Lottery and through our Charity Shops.
All of these things have one thing in common, they are all organised with peoples own time and care, they all rely on the generosity of the public, and all the money raised goes directly to helping provide the wonderful work detailed elsewhere on our website.

Internship sites are needed for students majoring in business administration, accounting, finance, information systems, international business, management and marketing.
- Read about the COB Internship Program
- Learn about internships on the UW-Eau Claire Career Services website
An internship is an educational experience which incorporates productive work experience as a regular part of a college student's curriculum. Through this experience, students are given the opportunity to improve their basic work skills, test career choices, develop professional competence and witness classroom theories and principles being applied in real world situations.
Internship programs vary from organization to organization. Some companies have developed programs that give students an overview of the key functions within the company before assigning them responsibilities in a specific area. Other organizations use interns for special projects. They hire students whenever they need extra assistance or a fresh approach to an old problem
The College of Business recognizes internship experiences as an important part of a student's academic program. Any junior or senior student who is admitted to the College of Business, is in good academic standing, and has satisfied specific departmental course prerequisites and policies may participate in the business internship program.
The UW-Eau Claire Business Internship Program is administered by the university's Career Services Office and the College of Business departments of Accounting and Finance, Management and Marketing, and Information Systems.
Note: To qualify as a College of Business approved internship, students are expected to have work assignments that provide value to the hosting organization, while engaged in college-level learning experiences. Accordingly, and in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the college does not support unpaid internships within for-profit organizations. College of Business majors have the option of earning university credit for their internships. Alternatively, approved internships may be recorded on their university transcript as a non-credit learning experience. For more information about developing internship positions within your organization, contact the appropriate department chair:
- Accounting and Finance: Dr. Raj Aroskar
- Information Systems: Dr. Tony Keys
- Management and Marketing: Dr. Kristy Lauver
Examples of past projects performed by UW-Eau Claire interns
Accounting and Finance
- Participated in internal financial and operational audits for corporations, state and federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations

Cranberry Pie
Cranberry pie says hello, holidays! with just a half-bag of fresh cranberries. Enjoy the tart flavor bursts of real cranberries, wrapped in a shortbread-like mixture that serves as a crust and binder.
Make this healthy pie with fresh cranberries, white whole wheat flour, walnuts, eggs, and other wholesome ingredients. It's quick and easy enough for young bakers to make. Serve as is for family dinners or adorn with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for special occasions. Note January 14, 2012: this is an updated version that makes the pie in two layers, cranberries and then batter, to shorten baking time. I've also created a vegan version.
Active time: 20 minutes. Total time: 1 hour. Serves 8 as is or 12 with vanilla ice cream.
Recipe ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (4 ounces or 1 stick or 113 grams)
2 eggs
1 1/3 cup sugar, divided (266 grams)
2 cups fresh cranberries (6 ounces or 170 grams)
1 cup white whole wheat flour (120 grams)
1/4 cup corn oil
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (6 ounces or 170 grams)
butter or shortening to grease pie plate
whipped cream as a topping or vanilla ice cream along side, optional
Recipe method:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 10-inch pie plate.
- Melt butter. If you can, use a Pyrex measuring cup to melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds on high, then use the same cup to measure corn oil. If you don't have a microwave, melt butter in a small pan on the stove over medium heat.
- While butter melts, beat 1 cup (200 grams) sugar and eggs on medium high for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy, as shown in the mixer action-shot below.
- Rinse, pick over, and dry cranberries. Put in pie plate and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup (66 grams) sugar.
- With the mixer on low, stir in butter, flour, and oil into egg mixture until just combined, then stir in nuts.
- Drop spoonsfuls of batter over cranberries, then spread evenly with a spoon. Bake for 45 minutes, until top begins to brown and tester comes out clean.
- Serve wedges of cranberry pie warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream if desired.
Recipe tips and notes:
- Use pecans instead of walnuts for a slightly sweeter, more Southern pie.
- Cranberries freeze well, so grab an extra bag when they are on sale.
- Thanks to my beloved mother-in-law, Catherine Watson, for permission to base this version on the wonderful cranberry pie she served at so many holiday dinners.
- Note on the update. I'd tried mixing the cranberries with the batter and baking, which saved prep time but made the overall cooking time very long. It seems that the water in the cranberries kept the batter temperature at or below the boiling point (212°F). I should have listened to my mother-in-law!

This five year study revealed that cattle grazing and human activities were not the cause of a diminishment in the Sierra Toad population and that cattle grazing and human activity can co-exist in areas with sensitive species. It also indicates the heavy impact of climate change and impacts of drought and rainfall shifts.

The easy way, however, is just to use our well-known expansions:$$\cos xy=1-\frac12(xy)^2+\frac1{24}(xy)^4-\dots\approx1-\frac12x^2y^2$$Then we just add to our polynomial (which is its own power series expansion):$$f(x,y)\approx1+xy^2-\frac12x^2y^2$$

To make this dish even easier, buy chicken "tenders," those little tenderloins at the back of the breast. They're a little more expensive than boneless, skinless breasts, but they're also more tender. The spicing on the chicken is cooled by the tangy yogurt dip. If you like, place a basket of halved pita loaves nearby so guests can stuff a little chicken into the pockets and top it with the sauce.

Guerrilla Games' senior producer Steven Ter Heide has told GamerZines that SCE Cambridge Studio is developing the NGP version of Killzone, and not Guerrilla itself.
"Our sister studio in Cambridge is doing that," replied Ter Heide when we questioned him on the NGP version of Killzone earlier in the week.
"We've been working with them very closely for a couple of years now. They've been helping us develop actual Killzone content for all the games.
"We feel like the game is in good hands. We'll still oversee it because the universe is something we've built up, we know the war and the rules that have been established, but they're driving the development."
Sony Cambridge has previously developed the PSP version of LittleBigPlanet, as well as PS1 classic MediEval and 24: The Game. They most recently put out PlayStation Move title TV Superstars.
The decision to have an alternate studio develop the handheld version is similar to that of Uncharted, where Sony Bend is working on the NGP version rather than series creators Naughty Dog.
NGP is Sony's successor to the PSP. The handheld is due to launch later this year.

Panthrobotics is taming a beast this week so the team of students will have a better chance of winning the Bayou Regional FIRST Robotics Competition March 17-19. The Woodlawn High School student robotics team will be showing off a hand-built robot, La Bestia (The Beast), to the general public noon-2 p.m. Saturday, February 19, at an open house. The event will take place at a former store location behind Caesar's Pizza in the Lake Sherwood Mall Shopping Center, 4892 S. Sherwood Forest Blvd. at Coursey Boulevard. Panthrobotics is one of 500 U.S. high-school teams J.C. Penney is sponsoring to participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), an annual event for high school students to compete against each other and test their robotics skills. The team, comprised of 20 Woodlawn High School students and three faculty advisors, will compete in a regional competition March 17 and has spent the past several weeks working at their build site in Lake Sherwood Mall Shopping Center to get ready for the competition by designing an original robot. The team of students is being mentored by Amanda Salom, a Louisiana State University engineering student, and Hugo J. Salom, her father and an electrical engineer at Wink Engineering. Two of the team's advisors are Daniel Eiland, a Great Scholars Social Studies teacher, and Jonathan Nester, who teaches Gifted and Great Scholars Math classes. The core student members of the team include Salom's sons, a senior and club President Hugo J. and senior Daniel Salom; 10th-grade Gifted student Brendon Doran; and freshman/Great Scholars student Aaron Hayes. The team's major sponsor is JC Penney, which provided funds for enrollment in the competition. Other sponsors have provided the store space for the team's work and funds for food, parts and travel expenses. This is the club's second year but the first year for the adult advisors. Preparing for the regional competition is no easy task. The team is given a box of parts, an objective and six weeks to build the robot. All teams have the same objective – to go from one end of a field to the other, use a claw to pick up several tubes, place the tubes on rings, go to a metal pole and release a smaller robot (weighing about 5 pounds) that races up that pole. At its tallest, La Bestia is about 10 feet (with arm extended) and weighs about 100 pounds – about 30 pounds under the weight limit. It consists of about 250 parts (electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and electrical computer). The robot runs on a 12-volt battery. From the kick-off in January at Stennis Space Center, student teams had only six weeks to design and build the robot. It will be packed up Tuesday and shipped to a containment area for all robots in the competition. La Bestia will remain there until the regionals in March. "This demonstration is a chance for our students to show off their finished product before the competition and to talk with visitors about the work they've done this semester through the robotics club," said Eiland. "This club has been a great chance for students to take what they learn in their science and technology classes and apply it hands on. We're excited to represent Woodlawn High School and Baton Rouge in this national competition, and we look forward to sharing our successes and discussing FIRST with visitors this weekend." Team President Hugo A. Salom is having a hard time letting go of his "baby" as it comes closer to shipping time. "The main reason I got involved in the project is it maps a future career path," said the student, who just a few years ago moved to the area with his family from Venezuela. "In only one season (last year), I learned as much as a professional would in 10 years. Now, I have twice as much knowledge. It's a really intense program. "My dad is an electrical engineer, but I want to be a chemical engineer. This experience will certainly help with scholarship and college applications because it not only focuses on building a robot but also on showing a university what you can do to problem solve. Universities like MIT really look at activities like this when considering you. It's about being smart but also imagination. That's what NASA wants to see – that you can do the math and all but also have the imagination and intelligence to make it work."

Monk is a cool cat with a great personality, who likes to talk a lot, especially at 3pm when he let the staff know it's time for
some 'Monk' time. He's 23 pounds of pure love, personality and snuggles. He is considered 'special needs' due to testing positive for FIV. He requires an 'indoor only' home without other cats or with other FIV positive cats only. Monk really thinks his greatest 'special need' is that he NEEDS his hammock. He is healthy and
expected to live a long & full life. Come on in and meet
Monk ... in his hammock, of course.
