There used to be a band in Cleveland named Jubal. They took their name from that cat in Genesis(the book, not the band) who is the "father" of all musicians. Gen. 5:21 "And his brother's name was Jubal: He was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ." Hmmmmm. It appears he may have been the first harmonica player as well. Very interesting. Anyway, he probably had it pretty easy 'cause there just wasn't all that much stuff yet to worry about gettin' "right on". Now if I can find a verse that reveals what embouchure he preferred, I might just be privy to "the greatest secret in the harmonica world today". I'll keep looking.

Oh, my. Wierwille is wearing one of those neck scarves I've talked about in the past. Not the same image, of course, just the same kind of scarf. Creepy!

songs remembered from just one line
waysider replied to bulwinkl's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
Well, it seems I have failed at this again as these songs, unlike "name that tune", are supposed to scream at you from just one line. And this one does scream, but not in the way I thought it did. Anyway, here's the next line. If this doesn't do it I'll post the answer. "I just want our love to last." -
Wow!! Thanks, a la P. It takes a certain kind of deliberate stylistic restraint to pull that song off successfully.(IMO) She did that and then some. And, the pure tone quality of her voice is wonderful. I hope she continues on with her musical pursuits. The music world is desperately lacking that special something that comes out in her voice.

Mike has stated: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sometimes a private definition of a word like this becomes so popular outside it original private setting that it gets "officially" entered into a dictionary or two. In 1969 I once sat in the office of a man who did this very thing. He actually invented a word for his professional discussions. I think I read once, or maybe he told me personally, that he used a term that had fallen out of use for many decades so he REDEFINED it the way he wanted to help him discuss the complex idea with which this new word was to be associated. That word was "paradigm" and I literally saw it being born. I think the same thing will soon happen to the word "confabulation," given the stature of the scientists that use it this way. It will soon mean an idea that includes normal evil lying, but also will include many more items that do not have that moral baggage. When I say "many" I mean hundreds, literally hundreds." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From dictionary.com 6 results for: paradigm Sponsored Links English Dictionary Looking for English Dictionary?

Grammar. a. a set of forms all of which contain a particular element, esp. the set of all inflected forms based on a single stem or theme. b. a display in fixed arrangement of such a set, as boy, boy's, boys, boys'. 2. an example serving as a model; pattern. [Origin: 1475–85; < LL paradīgma < Gk parádeigma pattern (verbid of paradeiknýnai to show side by side), equiv. to para- para-1 + deik-, base of deiknýnai to show (see deictic) + -ma n. suffix] —Synonyms 2. mold, standard; ideal, paragon, touchstone.

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This par·a·digm Audio Help (pār'ə-dīm', -dĭm') Pronunciation Key n. 1. One that serves as a pattern or model. 2. A set or list of all the inflectional forms of a word or of one of its grammatical categories: the paradigm of an irregular verb. 3. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline. [Middle English, example, from Late Latin paradīgma, from Greek paradeigma, from paradeiknunai, to compare : para-, alongside; see para-1 + deiknunai, to show; see deik- in Indo-European roots.] Usage Note: Paradigm first appeared in English in the 15th century, meaning "an example or pattern," and it still bears this meaning today: Their company is a paradigm of the small high-tech firms that have recently sprung up in this area. For nearly 400 years paradigm has also been applied to the patterns of inflections that are used to sort the verbs, nouns, and other parts of speech of a language into groups that are more easily studied. Since the 1960s, paradigm has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework, as when Nobel Laureate David Baltimore cited the work of two colleagues that "really established a new paradigm for our understanding of the causation of cancer." Thereafter, researchers in many different fields, including sociology and literary criticism, often saw themselves as working in or trying to break out of paradigms. Applications of the term in other contexts show that it can sometimes be used more loosely to mean "the prevailing view of things." The Usage Panel splits down the middle on these nonscientific uses of paradigm. Fifty-two percent disapprove of the sentence The paradigm governing international competition and competitiveness has shifted dramatically in the last three decades.

Cut to the chase Mike. Either post the 22 statements and why they are God Breathed or stop insisting we believe you "just because you said so". If you're worried about copyright infringement, I would hope after all this time you would know how to handle that.

Can you show me how you arrived at that conclusion?

Mike, it's a totally moot point. If you use Fromm's words, without citation, as if they were your own, that plagiarism. If I then use your words, using Fromm's words,as if they were my own, without citation, that's plagiarism. If someone else uses my words using your words using Fromm's words, as if they were their own, without citation, that's still plagiarism. It's like painting a wall. It doesn't matter how many coats you put on or what colors they are, the wall is still there beneath it all. Wierwille was a two bit huckster. A clever one, perhaps, but still a huckster. Your "benefit" statement is purely fabricated speculation. I propose you compile a complete list of these so-called God Breathed statements in one concise and easy to view format and then post it here for perusal. Surely if they are God Breathed the whole World ought to have the right to see them.

Maybe I'm missing something. What is there about the subject of plagiarism that precludes its discussion in a public forum?

Not that I know much about computers but don't most of the new ones come with a bunch of stuff already built in? Anyway, it was my pleasure to post that song. It's definitely in the "goosebump" category.

Hi, Roy It's always nice to hear from you. It won't be long before the landscape is teeming with blossoming flowers and the sweet fragrance of honeysuckle fills the evening air. The songs of spring peepers and tree frogs will sound like a symphony in contrast to the stillness of winter's dark and silent nights, signaling the birth of a new and bright spring. As for me, I think maybe that's what "the voice of God" is all about. Holy hugs to you, Bro. waysider

Well you know, Brushstroke, you can have the answers to all those questions and more. You do want answers, don't you? Just sign this "green card". Heck, when you've graduated from the PLAF class, you'll know that you know that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt. Your pen or mine? Here's a thread that discusses the infamous "Green Card". http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=15335

I could be mistaken on this but it seems to me that I bought a replacement "Orange Book" or two directly from the TWI bookstore in the mid to late 1970's. Sale was limited to "grads only".

Hey, Oldies Have you ever bothered to even read some of the articles here that discuss discrepancies in how some of the scriptures in the foundational class were interpreted and used? Just wonderin'.
