GoLiNiel Links

Here are pages about businesses and organization that have some sort of meaning to us.
We have ABSOLUTELY NO FINANCIAL CONNECTION to these businesses.

(Alphabetical Order)

24 Hour Fitness	This is the gymn we use for workouts.
American Society of Civil Engineers	My interest in engineering is pretty much limited to bridge design. See GoLiNiel Bridge Page. But these guys put out a great bridge calendar that Honey gets me for Christmas every year.
Bobs Red Mill	We do actually know Bob, but what we love is his business model, his products as well as the restaurant/visitor center.
Camp Vista	Camp Vista is a youth group camp outside of LaGrande. They hosted cycle Oregon in 1999.
Clarkes Restaurant	In Lake Oswego. Fine dining in a quiet atmosphere where they do everything right. But expensive. We go once a year. Every year.
Compassion International	A friend of mine left moved from his hometown, to follow his heart and to work for Compassion International
David York Ensemble	A group a wonderful vocalists. Our Pastor sings with them, and she is fantastic.
Don Berry (The works of)	Don Berry has written several monumental Oregon historical fiction works. "Trask" being his most popular, although I think "To Build a Ship" is one of the historical fiction best books I have ever read.
Friends of People with Aids	A Non-profit organization in Portland, dedicated to assisting and improving the quality of life of individuals with HIV/AIDS. We have a friend who works there, we have done some web and fundraising work for them.
Flight Tracker	Check the status of any airline flight. Track the status in-flight to see its progress and to confirm arrival times.
Higgins Restaurant	This is perhaps Honeys favorite restaurant. Classy Northwest Cuisine. The owner is also a bike rider who arranged a very nice salmon bake dinner during Cycle Oregons stay at Wallowa Lake during CO # 18
Lisa Forkish Music	We know of her both through a family friend, and through a co-worker who is related to Lisa. We don't personally know her, but we do have her CD.
Northwest Danish Foundation	Danish foundation for those Scandinavians wanting to socialize and mix with others in activities that celebrate, promote and preserve the Danish culture and language. Original sponsor of the Himmelbjerget Danish Language Camp
Milwaukie Ledding Library	Our local library, we support and use the local library system.
Northwest Danish Camp	Weeklong youth camp dedicated to teaching and preserving the Danish culture and language. Family members have been involved as sponsors, board members, counsellors and campers since 1990.
Ryan Andersen Project	T went to school with Ryan, he is also our Pastors son. A talented kid.
Oregon Hot Springs	A long and quiet soak in the backyard spa, after a long day on the bicycle. Thats a real good day.
Portland (OHSU) Tram	The tram is really just for OHSU, they want people to believe its for Portland, so we feel better paying for it. But go here for all things tram.
Skeese Greets - Greeting Cards	Custom made, bicycle themed greeting cards. They delivered a very nice product quickly and followed up two times with personalized, handwritten notes.
SaffronThread - A Cool Flash Site	Here is a site from a designer we are familiar with that does some pretty cool things with flash.
SplashCast - Social Marketing	This is an interesting new business in Portland, that is creating a new marketing concept to be integrated into social networking sites like Facebook. A very talented group.
The Trailband	We have seen these guys in Concert on Cycle Oregon we have seen many of their Christmas Concerts, and have many CDs. Very talented collection of people;
Tivo	Tivo is a great product. I won't expound on all its virtues on our page, I will just say that we watch virtually all our all our TV through it. Simple to use. It does nearly everything we could need it to do. It saves us time and improves the quality of our video experience. And we are so glad we have it.
Victorhill Farm	This is where we cut our Christmas tree each year. We found it because it opened earlier than most, which allowed us to prepare for a Christmas party. Once there, Honey has discovered that her taste matches that of Blenda the artist/owner. She loves the stuff they sell in their barn, and we spend as much time looking at the wreaths and decorations as we do the tree. And they have a lot of very good u-cut trees.
