Book Description
This essay challenges several patterns of thinking common in twentieth-century linguistics. The most pervasive of these is our habit of looking at language from the point of view of the speaker. When we take, instead, that of the hearer, matters fall into place in a new way. In syntax, we are led to examine the evidence available to hearers for interpreting what they hear, and this reveals both the true nature and the locus existendi of deep structure. Chomsky's 1957 diagnosis of the then prevalent syntactic theory is upheld, though his proposed remedy is not. The principle of Gestalt perception yields a characterization of the word quite different from Bloomfield's classic definition, lending support of new kind to Pike's mid-century views of the relation between phonemics and grammar. In morphology, assuming the hearer's standpoint forces the abondonment of the atomic morpheme that has prevailed in America since the post-Bloomfieldians, together with much of classical morphophonemics, and by a domino effect this in turn undermines much of generative phonology.

Book Description
Storm clouds are on the horizon and are hovering over the Judeo-Christian community. Returning to God’s Word is our only hope for these troubled times. On the cusp of these changing times, a remnant is being identified and “called out” by the Holy Spirit to return to the foundational roots of Christianity. The First Century Church of Jesus’ Apostles was vastly different from the church of today. Their foundational strength was built upon the Rock of Jesus Christ and was founded upon the Biblical (Hebrew/Jewish) customs of Jesus Christ and His disciples. This book is a basic handbook—a “101 Primer”—for reconciliation and restoration. Its exposure to the rich Hebraic customs and traditions of Jesus’ day will bring a refreshing breath to traditional Christianity. It’s a call to return to “the faith once delivered to the saints,” to prepare for eternity in God’s city, the New Jerusalem.

Book Description
A sense of fatigue dogs the fitness world. Many of the new programs that are tagged as groundbreaking are actually recycled ideas. Foundation offers something completely different for novices and athletes alike: a simple program with powerful and proven results that will remedy bad posture, alleviate back pain, and help readers break through fitness challenges and plateaus. Dr. Eric Goodman, a brilliant and dynamic young chiropractor, teams up with Peter Park, one of the top trainers in the United States, to radically redefine the core--shifting the focus from the front of the body to the back. Their groundbreaking approach works to strengthen the lower back and the full posterior chain and correct poor movement patterns by addressing mechanical imbalances and weaknesses. Foundation training involves simple movement patterns and is equipment free, creating maximum power, flexibility, and endurance. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm has inspired both Hollywood luminaries and world-class athletes to make Foundation training the core of their fitness programs. Eric and Peter's client list has grown exponentially to include Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher, world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, and actor Matthew McConaughey.

Book Description
America is in trouble. Out of control spending! Massive debt! Political ineptness! Constitutional indifference! Corporate greed! Union corruption! Moral chaos! Biblical faith under attack! Militant Islam! Fifth column foes within and powerful enemies without! National weakness from top to bottom! Our very survival is at stake. Is there a way out or is it too late? Our founding Fathers would be appalled, but not surprised, at the depth to which our once legitimately proud nation has plunged. Understanding the biblical view of fallen human nature they built a cultural foundation based on Judeo-Christian Law and values unknown in the world before or since. But as brilliant as they were they could not win the battle to keep the foundation intact for posterity. They charged each generation with that. Restoring Cultural Foundations: A Wake Up Call to America shows through a study of the Ten Commandments that a return to the Judeo-Christian principles on which the Founders built our nation is imperative for an orderly society and lasting liberty. Departing from Gods ways, they believed, courted certain disaster. Written for families, businesses and churches the author lays out ways our nation can return to our foundation and regain our lost dignity, security and well-being.

Book Description
A Christian patriot’s common sense review of D.C.’s political madness and nonsense, the abuse of our sacred Constitution, the degradation of our moral values and our road to recovery. The words presented in this book are an accumulation of my opinions and philosophies based on my experiences and instincts. I will warn you in advance, some opinions on both major and minor issues are going to upset many readers. I urge you to be objective, take off your blinders, form your own opinions and for goodness sake, if your opinions are that strong, write it down for posterity or for your congressman. If you can’t keep an open mind and yours is already closed, then I encourage you not to read this book so we can remain friends. Many opinions are confrontational and some things said are radical and not so politically correct. These writings are not to convince you of anything but to encourage you to use your own God-given common sense and get back to decent values. However, these writings will strive to convince you of the value of the freedoms we take for granted and how those freedoms have created the greatest nation and wealth in history. If we don’t get back to common sense and moral values we will lose this gift from God. The main reason I am writing my thoughts is because we are losing our country and this is my part to try to help save it. Isn’t it obvious we are losing our rights of speech with the so-called “Fairness Doctrine?” We’ve lost so much of the Second Amendment with 20,000 useless gun control laws but we can and will lose all of the rights to protect our selves from tyranny if we don’t express our objections. We’ve lost the freedoms I remember when I was younger, because our government representatives function like we can’t think for ourselves. If you are one of those persons who think that everything is OK and the government IS on the right path by getting larger and more controlling of your life and that we exist because of their power and control, then I suggest you’re not being objective. Please stop reading now and pass these words to someone else because they will not be of any worth to you. You are already lost to my cause. Since these writings are about common sense and governmental madness, moral values and how they relate to government and major issues, I think you will enjoy these somewhat famous quotes from Thomas Jefferson and the words of wisdom that JFK had to say about the primary author of the U.S. Constitution: • John Kennedy said to a group in the White House, “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge that has ever been gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” • "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." Thomas Jefferson • "It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debt as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save half the wars of the world." Thomas Jefferson Please note that I have purposely not used the term American when referring to U.S Citizens because even though we are Americans I wanted to distinguish us from our neighbors in South America and our North America, Canada, Mexico and others. I do not consider myself an isolationist whatever that is, but I do not want our country to lose its sovereignty because of some foolish idea of a one world order or transnationalism or a world government or globalization. We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. When I say those words time and again, they mean something and will continue to be my oath until the day I die. I want you to feel the same. I swore the words twice in my lifetime, to uphold the laws of this nation and defend the Constitution from enemies, foreign and domestic. I have not rescinded that oath nor do I i
