    Funlinks
     Ok, so they don't have much to do with Finance.  We all need a break now and then!   Be warned however, there are some pictures of me biking etc. and some family/pet pictures as well.

NY Mets and other Baseball related sites--(Yes, a Mets fan!) 
  1. The New York Mets from the SportingNews

Buffalo Bills and NFL Related Sites-(Football is probably my favorite professional sport and the Bills are my favorite team by FAR)

  1. The Buffalo Bills' official site 
  2. Three GREAT sites BillsDaily, TwoBillsDrive, and the BuffaloBillsInsider.  If it is not here, it probably has not happened.
  3. Two smaller sites but good: BillsBillsPage, and Bills Thunder
  4. Bills news from the Buffalo NewsSportingNews, and from NFL/ESPN.  Actually from NFL.com. Not as up to date, but still good is SportSpyder
  5. NFL from  Sports Illustrated
  6. FootballOutsiders.com 
  7. Mock Drafts _is there any more excitement for football fans?
  8. Gregg Easterbrook is the Tuesday Morning QB.  If you have not read this, read it.  AWESOME!
  My favorite sporting event?  Probably the Tour! 3 weeks of excitement.   Better than the SuperBowl!
  1. Le Tour--Good (and in many languages)
  2. Eurosport (Tour de France and much else), Velonews, OLN, Roadcycling.com, Bicycling.com all have much coverage.
  3. LanceArmstrong of course also has a pretty cool site (check his training out!). 
  4. Tour news from Google
  5. And a blog that is centered on the tour: TDFblog, Eddie's links to the tour
  6. A few other good biking sites: George Hincapie, TylerHamilton.com -not updated much, but it is Tyler.  Christian Vande Velde,
  7. The Race Across America (RAAM) is amazing.  It only takes them a week to go from Pacific to Atlantic!  Unreal!

Bonaventure and College Basketball Related

  1. Well they just can not leave well enough alone, so now there is the Bonnie Bandwagon III.  The BonaBandwagonII  was probably the most popular site abut SBU sports (and proof that some people have a bit too much time on their hands. ;))  Here is a link to the old Bandwagon Page.  It is shut down, but at last check is still accesible for viewing.
  2. Less interesting is GoBonnies.com the official SBU page (but it does have some cross country news!) 
  3. RPI college Basketball poll-this is the one used by the NCAA
  4. USA Today/ESPN college basketball polls
A few other sports sites that I read as often as time permits
  1. College Football, College Basketball
  2. CNN/SI's Olympic Coverage, NBC Sports,
  3. Fanblogs.com--By far the best Blog I have seen for College Football--VERY good!
  4. OK, so this is the bad side of sports.  Badjocks.com

Just For Fun Links

  1. Some Pictures- Here are more recent pictures.  Cats, me biking and running, but go ahead and click through anyways:)
  2. Biking the Blue Ridge Parkway-Possibly most fun I have had since Cross Country. Here is a good link if you are planning to do it yourself.
  3. Speaking of Biking, I HIGHLY recommend the MS 150 series.  Especially the ride from Pittsburgh to Lake Erie.  GREAT FUN!!!
  4. The Onion.com--Absolutely Hilarious as is TheBrushback which is basically the Onion but about sports only. You will definitely laugh!!
  5. Dukes of Hazzard (gee, I wonder..JMU Dukes..coincidence?)
  6. TheSimpsons.com  My favorite tv show.
  7. Broadcast.com-Good for internat radio etc.  Some books.
  8. Pictures of Bicyling by Graham Watson.  Unbelievably good!!
  9. The Matrix.  Actually all of them! I am a big fan.  If you haven't seen them, do so!  Not sure of what is going on?  AFTER seeing the movie check out some of these links: What is the Matrix is the official site,  FAQ from Know the Matrix, and MatrixTheories.com, and some Matrix Quizzes

Vacation-type links
These are in no order, just places I have been and liked

  1. Western NC Nature Center in Asheville NC-very good, a cross between a zoo, nature preserve, and animal hospital
  2. Williamsburg VA-Great history, has to be a better link, let me know
  3. San Antonio-probably my favorite US city-it has the missions (including the Alamo), The RiverWalk, other tourist attractions, and even has good places to runSan Antonio Insider is a very cool site devoted to SA.  If I can find my old DRS-Texas post on running in the city, I will include it...Believe it or not, one of my all time favorite running courses is in Brackenridge Park. Unfortunately it also has quite a bit of sprawl, but less than some cities (DC). and finally a hiking link from Texas.
  4. TravelbyPictures.com is a great place to imigine a vacation evn if you can't go.  :-)
WebCams
Tired of studying?  Need a vacation?  GO ahead...take a mini-vacation to some of your favorite places...or someplace you have never been!  I always like to do that when things get stressful.  Just imagine, as you are sitting taking a test or working, somewhere someone is hiking, or working out, or sightseeing  :-) 
  1. The Alamo
  2. Niagara Falls
  3. African Wildlife (VERY good!) especially go to the Highlight section!
  4. Hawaii, Pearl Harbor 
  5. Richmond VA
  6. Rehobath Delaware, OC, and Cape May
  7. Marco Island Florida
  8. My favorite may be this one of the whole world.  Shows sun!
