Welcome to my Links Page. This page contains
a variety of links (over 70) that I enjoy visiting. Some links
will take you to sites that have even more links in that area,
particularly some of the religious links. I hope you enjoy exploring
some of these. Not all of these sites will always reflect my views,
but the overall categories do clue you in on some of my interests,
or those interests of my family. Categories are in pink. Under
some categories will be subcategories, which are in purple. You
can go directly to categories by clicking on one of the following
category names:
Rob and Charlotte
Wedding and Engagement Proofs - for engagement
photos click on "Portraits",
then click on "Charlotte & Rob". For Wedding photos
click on "Weddings", then "Charlotte & Rob".
There are 34 engagement photos and 130 wedding phots. You can
use the slideshow options to view or use the arrows to manually
advance one photo at a time.
Religious
Links -
I believe that the Bible is the inspired
Word of God and that we must have Biblical authority for all that
we do. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He built
only one church (Matt. 16:18) and that church is the one described
in the New Testament. I do not claim that all of these links are
scripturally correct, and the Bible should always be the final
answer to any questions, not an Internet site. However, these
sites may provide help as you study your Bible. Subcategories
are Bible Study Links and Church
Links.
Florida
College - FC is a private college in
Temple Terrace, Florida. It is NOT a church college, but it's
faculty and staff are all members of the church of Christ. FC
receives no funds from churches.
Bible Study Links -
Bible
Class Materials - a good site with
good resources for anyone with an interest in Bible study or teaching
Bible classes.

Bible program. It is extremely user-friendly and has plenty of
features -- Bible versions, commentaries, dictionaries, atlases

worship now. We have 32 families, with a total of 75 souls. We
have almost doubled in size over the last year, with 12 new members

at Garden Ridge are some of the best in the world!

it out -- but give yourself time -- there is a lot to see and
read at Fred's Place!
U.S. Coast
Guard - this is the home page for the
U.S. Coast Guard. I served in the 17th District onboard the USCGC
Storis in 1970-71. The Storis was decommissioned in February 2007
after more than 64 years of service. I also served in the 8th
District in New Orleans aboard the bouy tender White Holly, Southwest
Pass Light Station and Group New Orleans.
4-H, Extension
and Education Links -
4-H is one of the largest youth organizations
in the world. In Oregon, 4-H is a part of Oregon State University.
In all states it is a part of the land-grant college(s) in that
state. The four Hs stand for Head, Hands, Heart and Health. These
are just a few links that will lead you to many, many other 4-H
sites - local, state, national and global. There are no subcategories.

AfterSchool - this site is dedicated
to the efforts of 4-H After School programs. It has some good
resource links.

C Penney After School - JC Penney has
been heavily involved in after school programs for several years.

school programs.
Journal of Extension - this is the official scholarly journal for Cooerpative
Extension System professionals.
National

status of a program.

Travel Related
Links -
These links might help you get where you
are going. The airlines listed are ones I fly fairly often. My
nephew works for Southwest, so I have a family connection there.
Subcategories are Airline
Links, Automobile
Rental Links and Miscellaneous Travel Links.
Airline Links -
Alaska
Airlines - Alaska Airlines now has
a non-stop flight to Washington, D.C., leaving from Seattle, Washington.
American Airlines - haven't flown AA very many times, so don't have
much to say about them.
Delta Airlines - another airline I used quite a bit, although not
my favorite. After a few delays over the years, we decided Delta
stands for Don't Ever Leave The Airport! Usually have friendly employees.
Horizon
Airlines - a very good regional airline
for the northwest. They are a sister company to Alaska Airlines.
Northwest Airlines - another one that I fly. You can use your Alaska/Horizon
miles with Northwest.
Southwest
Airlines - a good site to always check
when looking for airline tickets. Flying Southwest is a lot like
traveling by Greyhound Bus, you never know where you are going
to stop. But it is probably my favorite airline. The employees
generally make your flight fun! Southwest also has a lot of promotional
and Internet specials, such as $99 one way anywhere in the U.S.
that Southwest flies into. Look under "schedules".
United Airlines - used to be my favorite. I still fly it some and
still have my frequent flyer miles.
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) - the FAA site
has a real-time airport status link. Plus it is a pretty good
site to figure out where you are going when you get your flight
itinerary and see all those strange airport abbreviations such
as GEG for Spokane, Washington or ORD for Chicago, Illinois.
Oregon
Department of Transportation - this
site gives road conditions, construction work and accident info
for Oregon roads. A good site to visit before a trip.
MySanAntonio - this site provides a lot of information about San
Antonio, including traffic updates and traffic web cams. San Antonio
is one of America's ten largest cities, with a population of approximately
1.5 million. However, if you don't mind large cities go, it is
a great place to live.
Travelocity - check out this site for comparison prices on airlines,
hotels, rental cars and other travel related services. Your Internet
travel agent.
Sports and
News Links -
I enjoy Southeastern Conference (SEC) Football.
I also enjoy checking out the daily news over the Internet because
it is usually more current than newspapers. Try out a few of these
links and see what you think. Subcategories are News (TV Stations) Links, Newspaper Links
and Sports Links.
News (TV Stations) Links -
CNN News - get all the up-to-date news anytime of the day.
It's better than the newspaper, unless you want local news.
FOX News - FOX News is a little more conservative than CNN,
if you can consider any media conservative.
KATU TV - this Portland, Oregon site provides pretty good
coverage of Northwestern Oregon.
USA Today - check out USA Today without having to pay 50 cents.
Another good news source.
Sports Links
-
CBS Sports - another good sports site for all the sports. This
is a great site to get live scores on teams.
ESPN
Sports - this site provides more than
just SEC sports. Check out all your teams.
Southeastern
Conference (SEC) Sports - find out
what's happening in all SEC sports. One of my favorite sites for
the Fall so I can know where my favorite SEC team (Auburn) is
in the top 25. Sometimes Auburn is not there (like several times
in the 2007 season), but I can still find out what's going on.
In 2004 Auburn went 13-0 - I am hoping we can relive that year
again soon, but the 2007 year has not been the greatest!
Miscellaneous
Links -
These are just a variety of unrelated links.
Some are informative, some are fun and some are just links. There
are no subcategories.
Bigfoot Field
Researchers Organization -- the Pacific
Northwest is known for its sightings of the legendary Bigfoot,
or Sasquatch. This is an interesting site, whether a Bigfoot believer
or not. Am I a BF believer? Well -- I've never seen or heard one,
but . . .
Civil
War Reenactments - if you are interested
in the Civil War visit this reenactment site. A lot of good information
and more links.
Google Maps - this is a really cool site! You can check out your
own neighborhood with actual satellite photos and sort of "fly
over" the area. You can also add highways, boundaries, etc.
Leo's
Icons Archives - icons galore -- a
lot of neat icons that you can download, like this Dilbert icon or this hamburger icon.
Kelley Blue
Book - this is the site if you are
either trying to sell a car or want to buy one. See what the blue
book value really is. It can really help on negotiating prices.
Maps
- All Kinds -- this site has historical
maps, current maps, outline maps -- a fun site to just visit if
you like maps. This site has an extensive menu to take you to
all kinds of places.
Real Time - cool site -- supposed to always be accurate to within
0.3 seconds! That's pretty accurate!
States
and Capitals -- this site has tons
of information about each state with more and more links. A very
informative and educational site.
Sunrise and Sunset Times
- this site will give you the sunrise and sunset times for cities
anywhere, but only for one day at a time. A good site from the
US Navy.
Sunrise/Sunset
Calendar - this site will give you
a monthly calendar with sunrise and sunset times for cities throughout
the United States, as well as many cities in other countries.
Another good site -- I use it for hunting times.
Weather Hubs - this site will let you check on the current weather
conditions in cities across the U.S.
WeightWatchers - the WeightWatchers at home program is what I used
to lose 45 pounds and nine inches off my waist. With the "At
Home" program, you do not attend meetings - they send you
all the information you need and provide six months telephone
support. In my opinion, WeightWatchers is the most effective weight
control program that has ever been on the market.
