Reformation Bible Translations John Wycliffe's Translation
When Wycliffe completed this work, it was the first European
translation of the Bible in about 1000 years. Rome thanked him by
condemning him as a heretic and exhuming his bones and burning
them after he died. Who's
side is the Pope on, anyway?
William Tyndale's Translation Tyndale was also accused of heresy by Rome, and ended up being strangled and burned. It is estimated that about 80% of the King James Version's New Testament follows Tyndale's lead. The Geneva Bible This was the Bible of the Puritans. See The Geneva Bible: The Forgotten Translation for more information. This edition of the Geneva Bible requires the free Adobe Reader. King James Version (Authorized Version) With hyper-links to Strong's Concordance. Psalms of David in Metre With notes by John Brown (of Haddington). Theology/Christianity
Local/Pennsylvania Interests Indian Echo Caverns
If
walking through a wet hole in the ground sounds like a good time, than
this is the place for you!
Jigger Shop Expensive ice cream in a crowded environment, in beautiful Mt. Gretna, PA! Kclinger's Good food, blues on Tuesdays, and the "East Coast's Largest Beer Selection." Yes, I spelled it right. Lancaster Brewing Company Two words: "Milk Stout." Lake Tobias Wildlife Park Mr. Tobias dug a big hole, filled it with water, and stuck animals around it. Pretty cool, especially with the kids. Warning: Do not eat the animals on display. It is apparently frowned upon. Lebanon Bologna My hometown's claim to fame! Pennsylvania Dutch Country Welcome Center What to do in, and info on, the Central PA area. Philadelphia Zoo In 1995, a fire ripped through the primate house at the Philly Zoo, killing 23 endangered animals. Since this tragedy, the Philly Zoo now has one of the coolest, most modern primate house I've ever seen. Sturgis Pretzels America's first pretzel bakery. If you take the tour, they'll let you twist a pretzel. And you can order a tin of pretzels from their website. The Sand Master Glass etching at it's finest! Plus it's my step-Dad, so buy something already. Trφegs Brewing Company It's spelled with an umlaut, and that's why we love it. Yuengling "America's Oldest Brewery," and one of Pennsylvania's six pre-prohibition era Breweries (the most of any State in the Union). Musical Interests Dylan Lyrics Love
him or hate him, the guy is a true poet.
Essential Blues Albums "You gotta pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues, and you know, it don't come easy." Gentle Giant "It is our goal to expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of being very unpopular." My wife hates this band with a perfect hatred. They don't play normal chords, they don't keep normal time signatures, they don't even sing in the ordinary manner. These guys were progressive. "Kansas
is a band." America's greatest Classic Progressive Rock
band. Not so progressive that my wife hates them, mind you.
Time and Strike Music An independent record label specializing in acoustic blues, gospel blues, and other roots music. I recommend the "Motherless Children" CD, and anything by Michael Hakanson-Stacy (this guy plays pure unadulterated blues on a National resonator guitar... most guys that play this style this well have been dead for decades). Self Defense
Difference
Between Fighting and Self-Defense An accurate, though sometimes
salty, description of the difference between defending yourself, and
squaring off with someone and fighting. The former is your
God-given right, the latter is you being an idiot and risking legal
problems.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearm
Ownership Obviously I have some religious and
political differences with this group, but there is some good info at
this site.
Team
Ramos Jiu-Jitsu Techniques
Most people have not come to grips
with the fact that you eventually may have to subdue or kill someone
with your bare hands (if you drop your gun, for example). Having
previously trained for a number of years, and once again training, in
Isshinryu (a more strike/kick/punch
oriented
martial art) under John Devine,
I find the grappling, throwing, and choking of Jiu-Jitsu to be
fascinating. I'm not convinced that ground-fighting/grappling is
the end-all-be-all of the martial arts, but it's important.
Some
Other Sites Weve Found to Be of Use or InterestCrab
Rangoon Now you don't have to have Chinese guys help you get
fat. You can do it yourself at home! Mmm.... crab and cream
cheese (drool and slobber). Download.com Free software downloads of all sorts. Some more helpful than others. DrudgeReport Get your news while its still news. FamTeam A website by a
large family (the Arndt's). Always something interesting going on
in the message boards. These folks have appeared on national TV
being criticized for having a large family, and we find it interesting
to see how they handle it. How to Smoke a
Pipe There are other
articles out there about how
to smoke a pipe, but I find this one
to be the most helpful I've seen. See also this article on why you might want to
smoke a pipe. Ratebeer Rate your
favorite beers, or read opinions on beers youre thinking of
trying. Some of the reviews are more than a little funny. Sweet and Sour Meatballs Actually, there is no sour to them at all. But they're really good!
