This week, we're replaying a classic episode where Steve and Yvonne interview Lee Hunt of The Hunt Law Firm (https://huntlaw.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review   View/Download Trial Documents   Case Details: Top 25 New Mexico Super Lawyers honoree Lee Hunt discusses how he secured justice for Eric and Luke Armstrong, two brothers who were hit by bullet fragments fired from neighboring hunters on Express Ranches, LLC's Atmore Ranch. Their guide mistakenly told the hunters that their targets were between 240 and 250 yards away, causing them to aim high at the elk, which were actually only 160 yards away. While walking on the main road between Atmore Ranch and neighboring Ute Creek Ranch, Luke was hit in the mouth with a bullet fragment, which left him with permanent facial nerve damage and a numb limp. Eric had a bullet fragment lodged in his abdomen. A New Mexico jury found Express Ranches, LLC negligent for failing to adhere to safe hunting practices and awarded $5,256,000 in damages to the Armstrong brothers.   Guest Bio: Lee Hunt You want to know more about your lawyer than whether he is capable of handling your case. By the end of the case, you and your lawyer better trust each other, know each and honestly care about each other. I believe that to help a person in a legal crisis, I must know you as a person – not just another case. That means you should know more about me than where I went to school. I am a husband. My wife Kristi is a native New Mexican who grew up on a cattle ranch in Roy, New Mexico. Her family settled on the ranch in the early 1940s and have raised cattle and kids there ever since. I am a father. I have three wonderfully full-of-life children. I am also a Christian. My faith and my belief in redemption is what drives me to do this work. I don't think that you have to be a trial attorney to make the world better and to live in the likeness of Jesus, but it is what makes sense to me. If I can help people in crisis and be a calm witness in the midst of the storm, then maybe God can use that to His Glory. I am also an athlete. I love getting away from everything with a hard run in the early morning or a solitary bike ride. I have raced the Hawaii Ironman twice and ran 100 miles at the Leadville Trail 100. I think balance in life is challenging to find, but even harder to get back aligned when out of whack. Trust me when I say that I work as hard as anyone I know, but I will always find time for my family and myself. In the end, that time away made me a better lawyer. As a lawyer, I have always wanted to try difficult cases to juries. To be respected by the other side, they must know that we are willing to fight all the way to the end and get results in Court. Our track record at trial speaks to who we are and how far we are willing to go to make things right.   Show Sponsors: Legal Technology Services - LegalTechService.com Digital Law Marketing - DigitalLawMarketing.com Harris Lowry Manton LLP - hlmlawfirm.com   Free Resources: Stages Of A Jury Trial - Part 1 Stages Of A Jury Trial - Part 2

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast presented by Powers Electrical Solutions. Today is Wednesday, September 6th and I'm Keith Ippolito. In the Towne Lake area, an employee at a bar called "The Place," Eric Armstrong, 31, of Woodstock, has been arrested and charged with stabbing a 49-year-old customer. The incident occurred around 12:30 a.m., following reports of a "person stabbed" at the bar. It was revealed that before the stabbing, the victim had been acting disorderly and was escorted outside by several individuals, leading to a fight in which he was stabbed in the chest. Cherokee Sheriff's Office investigators identified the parties involved and made three arrests. Armstrong, an employee of the bar, was held responsible for the stabbing and faces charges of aggravated assault and tampering with evidence. He remains in custody without bond. Two other bar patrons, Bradley Salisbury, 25, and Bryan Cahill, 39, both from the area, were also arrested in connection with the altercation. Salisbury was charged with battery, and Cahill was charged with simple battery. Both were released on $1,000 bonds the following morning. The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital and remains in serious condition. For more news about our community, visit tribuneledgernews.com.

They said it was not at all optimal to go on a long cross country obstacle course from Ottawa to Montreal . Obviously, Chicago to Boston was also off, being far too costly in a borrowed automobile.

This is our "Fava" episode: great with a nice Chianti (you can leave the liver out, Dr. Lecter...) Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong talk their way through the sounds /f/ and /v/ in this episode. As it is our first episode dealing with fricative sounds, we spend quite a while talking through their nature.Show Notes[Don't have any time to go through the show this week and edit the show notes. These are the things Phil and I collected before we began recording; it's a bit messy, but may be helpful when listening along.—Eric]Fricatives: A sound being made by air being pushed through a narrow constriction in the vocal tract, making a turbulent airstream. e.g. f θ ʃ s Most common consonant manner in the world's languages : FricativesFORMATION: voiced/unvoiced labiodental fricativesSPELLING: /f/pretty darned simple, fcalf calves, calved loaf loaveshalf halves, halved knife knives ( but knifed)wife wives"ff" off, offal"gh" cough, draught, enough, laugh, laughter, rough, tough, trough, whooping cough"ph" alphabet, amphibious, apostrophe, diphthong, nephew, philosophy, phlegm, phonetic,photo, photograph, pteriodophyte, sphere, sphinx, telephone"v" Chekov, Krushchev, Nabokov, Godunov, Romanov, Molotiv, Rimsky-Korsakov,Ustinov, /v/"f" of"ph" Stephen"v" Vacate, vaccine, vacuum, vain, vale, valentine, Valkyrie, value, Vancouver, vane,variation, varsity, vein, vengeance, have, hive, live, love, mauve, driving, living, Steven,stevedore."vv" savvyHISTORY: of the letters: FROM WIKIPEDIA:F The Phoenician form of the letter was adopted into Greek as a vowel, upsilon (which resembled its descendant, ‹Y›, but was also ancestor to Roman letters ‹U›, ‹V›, and ‹W›); and with another form, as a consonant, digamma, which resembled ‹F›, but indicated the pronunciation /w/, as in Phoenician. (Later on, /w/ disappeared from Greek, resulting in digamma being used as a numeral only.)In Etruscan, ‹F› also represented /w/; however, they formed the digraph ‹FH› to represent /f/; when the Romans picked up, the letter, they had already borrowed ‹U› from Greek upsilon to stand for /w/. At the this time, the Greek letter phi ‹Φ› represented an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive, /pʰ/ though it has now come to approximate the sound of /f/ in Modern Greek.The lower case ‹f› is not related to the visually similar long s, ‹ſ›. The use of the long s largely died out by the beginning of the 19th century, mostly to prevent confusion with ‹f›.FROM WIKIPEDIA: The letter V ultimately comes from the Semitic letter Waw, as do the modern letters F, U, W, and Y. See F for details.In Greek, the letter upsilon ‹Υ› was adapted from waw to represent, at first, the vowel /u/ as in "moon". This was later fronted to /y/, the vowel spelled ‹ü› in German.In Latin, a stemless variant shape of the upsilon was borrowed in early times as V—either directly from the Western Greek alphabet or from the Etruscan alphabet as a middle man—to represent the same /u/ sound, as well as the consonantal /w/. Thus, num — originally spelled ‹NVM› — was pronounced /nuːm/ and via was pronounced /wiːa/. From the first century A.D. on, depending on Vulgar Latin dialect, consonantal /w/ developed into /β/, then later to /v/.In Roman numerals, the letter V is used to represent the number 5. It was used because it resembled the convention of counting by notches carved in wood, with every fifth notch double-cut to form a "V".During the late Middle Ages, two forms of ‹v› developed, which were both used for modern ‹u› and ‹v›. The pointed form ‹v› was written at the beginning of a word, while a rounded form ‹u› was used in the middle or end, regardless of sound. So whereas valor and excuse appeared as in modern printing, have and upon were printed ‹haue› and ‹vpon›. The first distinction between the letters ‹u› and ‹v› is recorded in a Gothic alphabet from 1386, where ‹v› preceded ‹u›. By the mid-1500s, the ‹v› form was used to represent the consonant and ‹u› the vowel sound, giving us the modern letter ‹u›. Capital ‹U› was not accepted as a distinct letter until many years later.[2]PHONETIC NOTATION: represented by lower case f and v Similar sounds in IPA: labiodental approximant ʋ labiodental nasal ɱ bilabial fricatives ɸ β using f or v in place of th sounds "th fronting" in Southern England working class accents, like Cockneyusing labiodental place on preceding nasals, e.g. invest, infer, emphasis, emphysema, lymph with ɱVARIATIONSuse of bilabial fricative in its place ʋ Challenge for Dutch/German article: Voiced labiodental fricatives or glides - all the same to Germans? by Silke Hamann* & Anke Sennema‡List of languages that have f and ʋLanguage f v ʋ ɸ β Danish f Ø ʋ Ø Ø three-way distinctionDutch fits oːvən ʋɑŋ Ø in some Belgian dialects the /ʋ/ phoneme is realized as [β] three-way distinctionEnglish f v 'red' Ø Ø two-way distinction –( Wikipedia entry claims labialized /r/)Finnish f Ø ʋ Ø Ø two-way distinctionGerman f“fau”v“we”Ø Ø Ø two-way distinction – approximant allophone of /v/ in Southern varietiesHawaiian Ø Ø ʋ Ø Ø May also be realized as [w] or [v].Hindi f Ø ʋ Ø Ø two-way distinction –Serbo-Croatian f Ø ʋ Ø Ø May also be realized as [v], depending on the speaker's dialect.Norwegian f Ø ʋ Ø Ø Japanese Ø Ø Ø ɸ β these are considered weak forms of /p/ and /b/Ewe f͈ v͈ Ø ɸ β Ewe is one of the few languages known to contrast [f] vs. [ɸ] and [v] vs. [β].

It’s the “Schwapisode” this week! Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong get right into the middle of things (or at least, into the middle of the vowel space) to talk about the mid-central vowel, the most popular vowel in the English language.Show Notes:Schwa, the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa#The_term " The word schwa is from the Hebrew word shva (שְׁוָא shewa’, /ʃəˈwa/, modern pronunciation: shva /ʃva/), which designates the Hebrew niqqud vowel sign shva,” “that in modern Hebrew indicates either the phoneme /e/ or the complete absence of a vowel. Also the Hebrew shva is sometimes represented by the upside-down e symbol for Schwa, a misleading transliteration, since the Schwa vowel is not representative of modern Hebrew pronunciation of shva and is not characteristic of earlier pronunciations either (see Tiberian vocalization → Mobile Shwa = Shwa na'). The spelling "schwa" is German in origin."From the online etymology dictionary: lit. "emptiness."Schwa is [uh] the [uh] sound that many [uh] English speakers use as a [uh] filler sound.

Eric Armstrong and Phil Thompson whistle a happy tune: this week, we’re exploring the vowel sound found at the end of words like "happy."Show Notes: • for some this is perceived as being an /i/ sound, for others an /ɪ/ sound, and for many (especially around where I live) a sound that is neither of those. What's going on here? • FORMATION: Weak Close-ish Front-ish Unrounded Vowel • SPELLING: Group A "y" (itchy, angry, silly etc.), "ie" (sortie, boogie, movie), "i" ( Fettucini, linguine, martini, bikini). Historical (especially in verse) price [əi]; Group B "-ee", "-ey", "-ea" Historical face, [e] • HISTORY: Group A (sunny, taxi, prairie) was [əi] or [e] (coffee, honey, Chelsea) in Middle English. More recent load words are spelled 'i'. ‣ -y endings and -ie and -ies endings ‣ -ier (happier), -iest (happiest), -ying (hurrying) ‣ prefixes before a vowel re- (react), pre- (preoccupied), de- (deactivate), semi/demi- (demigod) ‣ -iate and -ious when they have 2 syllables (appreciate, hilarious) ‣ weak form "he, she, we, me, be," (and archaic "thee"?) • Some people argue that it's heard in weak "-ing" (gerund/present participle) endings [we disagree, generally] • In some dialects, days of the week (e.g. "Monday, Tuesday, etc.), though this is now becoming at best "conservative" speech. • Piers Messum at UCL coined the term "Schwi" (for happy) and "Schwu" (for inflUence) which, I believe, he's no longer advocating. • 3 way contrast: ‣ Rosa's, roses, Rosie's ‣ [ɹoʊzəz, ɹoʊzɪz, ɹoʊziz](schwa, weak /ɪ/, happY) • Note that there are weak final /i/ vowels that aren't reduced, e.g. "manatee" • Distribution: both Checked and Free syllables — apart from schwa, only Free weak vowel in English (which may be why some people use [i] ) • Review: checked? free?PHONETIC NOTATION: It Depends. Either represented "as it's said" (narrow phonetic transcription, so i & ɪ are used with diacritic marks), or with lower case i without a length mark (a phonemic transcription, like one finds in LPD); sometimes represented with barred-i [ɨ], though that's not canonical. So it doesn't have a cardinal number, really. (If one used barred-i, I suppose you could argue that it's Cardinal 17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_central_unrounded_vowel )Quite a lot of variation (in accents): Onglides fairly common [əi] or [əɪ]; more conservative (English and US Southern) accents use /ɪ/ , parts of Scotland use [e], Nottingham goes all the way to [ɛ] though this appears to be changing toward [i]. When this change towards [i] occurs, linguists say that the phoneme is getting more "tense" , so it's a case of “happy-tensing”. • Happy-Tensing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_high_front_vowels#Happy_tensingQueen's speech is undergoing happy tensing, though a study of her Xmas broadcasts (1957 » 2009) shows that her kit vowel has changed more significantly than her happy vowel, though most people don't seem to notice the difference in her kit sound!

We’re digging into /t/ and /d/ on Glossonomia this week. Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong discuss how we make this cognate pair of consonants, voiceless and voiced alveolar stop/plosives. Today’s Topics include: • the concept of Lenition (softening), in particular, the terms Fortis vs. Lenis. • Voice Onset Time (VOT): when does the voicing begin? Normally, /t/ in English is aspirated at the beginning of stressed syllables. In English, initial /d/ in stressed syllables is, essentially voiceless but unaspirated, whereas intervocalic (between two vowels). • In Phonecian, the word for the letter D was, in fact “door”—daleth. • T comes from Greek Tau, and Semitic Tav, which resembled a simple cross. • Spellings: t (Ted, atop, get), th (Thames, Thomas, thyme), pt- (ptarmigan, pterodactyl, pterigoid) • Wikipedia has a paragraph on the origins of the name Thames, and its Greek influenced Th- spelling • IPA [th] for aspiration, [t=] for unaspirated; [d] • There is no perfect phonetic way to notate things; there are many ways to heaven in the phonetic realm • Apart from English, there are many languages where /t/ is not aspirated • “Cool” words of the week—prevocalic: before a vowel; postvocalic: after a vowel; intervocalic: between 2 vowels. • No audible release of final /t/ “but, not, that” IPA [ bʌt ̚ nɒt ̚ ðæt ̚ ] • devoicing of consonant clusters tr-, -tl, tw-, • preceding /s/, as in steam, “deaspirates” the /t/, and may reduce the devoicing in stream. • past-participles: -ed endings following a voiceless consonant are /t/ e.g. hoped is pronounced [ hoʊpt ], following a voiced consonant or vowel are pronounced /d/ • Orthoepy: the “correct” pronunciation of a language, or a tradition of pronouncing words as they are spelled; e.g. often with a /t/ or not • Intervocalic /t/: In North America typically a voiced tap [ɾ] or [ t̬ ] • Sound Patterns of Spoken English by Lynda Shockey • Glottaling, using the glottal stop, as it “Hit me, baby, one more time” • Assimilation, where the sound is moved to the place of the following consonant • Glottal reinforcement: /t/ supported by closure in the glottis • Ejectives: non-pulmonic is “not from the lungs” IPA [ t’ ]: the glottis is closed and the larynx rises to pressurize the [ t’ ] behind the closure at the gum ridge • geminate or twinned consonants, e.g. hit Ted, either the first is unreleased, or we may use “double tapping” (to release both /t/ sounds) • Raymond Hickey Irish English Resource Centre slit /t/ and in Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand; Kath & Kim’s grayshsh; JIPA: The acoustic character of fricated /t/ in Australian English: A comparison with /s/ and /ʃ/ by Mark J.
