London hotels
When to book your trip
Witness the Changing of the Guard in royal London
A cosmopolitan city, London is an epicenter of global finance and politics where cultures intertwine, neighborhoods hold secrets whispered through time, and famous events like London Fashion Week take place on an annual basis. The metropolitan area draws millions of visitors each year to attractions such as the Houses of Parliament, which features the 16-story clock tower Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Set on the banks of the River Thames, London offers a fantastic mix of history, food, shopping and museums. The pageantry of the Changing of the Guard and Trooping the Colour create spectacles adored by all, while modern marvels include one of the world's biggest observation wheels.
Things to see and do
Cultural attractions
Exhibits at institutions such as the Royal Museum, the National Gallery, and the Imperial War Museum provide insightful perspectives of the country. From the First World War Galleries to the history of "Jack the Ripper", and artworks dating back to medieval times, enjoy a window on the past by visiting any of these attractions.
City buildings that have stood for hundreds of years include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Royal Albert Hall where you can catch a concert in the evenings. The Tower of London is guarded by the legendary Beefeaters, while inside the diamond-studded Crown Jewels glitter for guests throughout the day.
Stroll along historic footpaths in colorful Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, or enjoy a spectacular bird's-eye view of the city from atop the London Eye.
London' districts are attractions in their own right, and if you take a trip through the East End you will discover the setting for numerous films and television shows. View the ancient street layout and medieval churches in The City, the earliest Roman settlement, or visit Greenwich, home of the Prime Meridian. The Leicester Square neighborhood houses famous Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, and city tours are a great way to scale the geography of sprawling London.
Shopping and dining
Power shoppers will discover the haute couture boutiques and trendy designer stores of Knightsbridge, Bond Street and Covent Garden, as well as Oxford and Regent Streets. In addition to high-end clothes, you can also find vintage apparel in quirky local establishments.
Once known for its ubiquitous fish and chips, bangers and mash, and even eels, London has since emerged as a center of gastronomic delights. This melting pot of cultures creates a restaurant scene that thrives on fusion and international cuisine. Foodies can enjoy high tea and Anglo-Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, Turkish kebabs and Mexican-style burritos.
Nightlife and entertainment
When the sun sets after a day of sightseeing, guests can visit local pubs and live music venues featuring internationally-acclaimed DJs and bands. Tracing its origins to Shakespeare, London's West End Theatre district presents musicals and plays starring famous actors from screen and stage. You can also enjoy performances in the Opera House, where the Royal Symphony, Opera and Ballet companies are showcased.
This English capital hosts a series of yearly celebrations that include Wimbledon and other major sporting events, the Notting Hill Carnival, the Lord Mayor's Show and the Totally Thames Festival.
Best time to visit
Spring is one of the best times to visit London. In addition to mild temperatures, the city's parks and gardens begin to bloom. Humidity levels tend to be higher in the summer months, but those looking to sample strawberries and cream, or Pimm's at the tennis should book a stay in late June or early July.
Travel and hotels are more likely to be reasonably priced and readily available in the fall and winter monthsalthough visitors should be aware that London is popular for Christmas gift shopping in December.
Where to stay
From Bayswater and Paddington to Knightsbridge, the West End and Camden, the neighborhood where you choose to vacation in London will depend very much upon what you want to do on your trip. Historic hotels like Flemings Mayfairthe second oldest in the capitalhave a Georgian flair that harks back to the days when carriages rolled through the streets while contemporary accommodations include the K West and the Apex. Prices range quite dramatically, so it's best to search around online before you go.
Travel information
Visitors can reach London through one of six airports, including Gatwick (LGW), Heathrow (LHR) and Stansted (STN). Traveling between these aviation gateways and London's major attractions is easy due to the city's comprehensive public transportation network. Options include the iconic red double-decker buses, Docklands Light Railway and the Underground, as well as Thames River commuter boats and pleasure cruises. Consider using an Oyster Card, a contactless smartcard, instead of individual paper tickets, to save time and money. Another option for traveling within the English city is taking one of London's world-famous black cabs.

Governance Watch
Shareholder Activism Defenses in a time of Economic Uncertainty
02 November, 2011 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
Governance Watch is webcast that is produced by The Conference Board and sponsored by Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton.
Many boards are trying to resolve the tension among the competing objectives of: spending cash on capital expenditures and acquisitions to grow, returning cash to shareholders and maintaining a healthy balance sheet and liquidity outlook.
Shareholder activists have grown increasingly frustrated with the focus on balance sheet prudence and are pushing in a number of sectors for boards to accelerate growth through spending, to return greater amounts to shareholders and to fuel these activities through the use of debt.
This panel will examine the economic variables relating to these competing considerations, the appropriate way for directors and officers to approach this conundrum from a fiduciary duty perspective and how this approach may be supplemented when activists, with a special focus on acceleration of growth and returning cash to shareholders through extraordinary buybacks and dividends, enter the scene.

Safavieh Martha Stewart MSR3258 Rock Garden Rug
Item #: 101MSR3258C-P Add to Wishlist
Description: Derived from a 17th-century Italian fabric document, the surprisingly modern pattern in Strolling Garden replicates outlined laid work called couching. In the original archival textile, this technique involves cording applied to satin cloth; in this modern version, viscose yarns are used to outline the same lustrous pattern against Strolling Garden's cut-pile background of New Zealand wool.
- Collection: Martha Stewart
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 2' 6" x 4' 3", 3' 9" x 5' 9", 5' 6" x 8' 6", 7' 9" x 9' 9", 8' 6" x 11' 6", 9' 6" x 13' 6", 6' Round and 2' 3" x 10'
I would recommend this rug if you want a blue- grey rug not a charcoal- grey rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Nice and thick, beautiful and soft. Love it! Wish sizes were a bit more varied, though.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful, qualtiy is excellent. Very happy with the purchase.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a well made beautiful rug. My only complaint is that the color is a lot darker than the picture. It's a dark espresso color. That's why I gave it a 4. I wish it was this nice mocha color, but I'm keeping it anyway. Sheds a bit but that sometimes comes with wool rugs. Quick delievery too!
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs. Safavieh also produces a variety of rug designs from American Country styles and 19th and early 20th Century European Art.

I was thinking the exact same thing. He's definitely been hitting the gym hard. Not too long ago he tweeted that they had a massage therapist on set who commented that he's "been doing his pushups". What I wouldn't give to have been the one massaging him.
And I know he'll never go shirtless but a tank is still a possibility.
Why won't he? I don't get it. What's the point of working so hard on his bod if he's not going to show it off? There were those shirtless pics he tweeted from the beach, but they were from the neck up. Why doesn't the paparazzi follow Nathan around??? They seem to snap pics of every other celebrity on the beach.
unfortunately, the tank above is from rehearsal, it never made it on the show....I don't get his reluctance, either- why work out/lift weights to get that bod and NOT show it???? He is a little god- boy/very christian/purity ring type- maybe it's that
can't believe no one has posted that before- all I ever saw were the pics, figured if it was actual video- someone would have posted it- THANKS!
He's got a nice little farmers tan in that short But god he looks good in a muscle shirt!!
I must have gone to that page after the video was removed....I like at the end when Sam/Jeannette is pouring water down Nathan- you can see it cresting some what over his bulge/crotch
Random cute pics of him
^^Nice pics. He is filling out more and more everytime I see him.
And is it just me or does he look like a teenage Elvis Presley in that guitar pic?
any updates of him??
Not sure if this one's been posted before
does anyone remember the guy in the pic with him???? He created and produces the show- but he was a teen star himself- on Head of the Class...Dan Schneider as Dennis....serious crush on Tony O'Dell- so cute
is there any updates on him? it's been a while...
I don't get the attraction... AT ALL. And this is a pretty huge thread.
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.'' - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Just so the thread doesn't get boring, some random pics
Agree!!! He needs to take off that shirt!!!!
The last original iCarly is on this Friday Maybe Nathan will now do some acting with his shirt off
Last edited by mikeyjon; November 21st, 2012 at 02:12 PM.

doubt it.. but he will be wearing a tux.
Well he certainly doesn't like bending over.... I can't find a single ass pic.

Nathan was in a dream I had last night- like most dreams, a little weird...he was playing Freddie in something that seemed like the Hunger Games- he was wearing a loose muscle T and you could see hair on his chest- I remember thinking- 'oh, take off the shirt already' but he didn't- only in the dream for a minute or so.
I wish my dreams where anywhere near that normal.
My partner and I dreamed about Nathan a few weeks ago. We had the same dream, but it wasn't anywhere near that normal.
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
care to elaborate???
Nathan just tweeted about 50 minutes ago- asking fans to send him questions...I asked why he was the only guy on I Carly NEVER to take his shirt off.....everyone else should ask similiar questions- like why or maybe when he will....
He is so cute, although a bit short... he'd be perfect if he just was taller. He's got a very pretty face and nice body.
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
^^ Yeah we had that discussion on here quite a while back.
And he's so cute when he's sleeping

Mankato, Minn. – Students from Minnesota State University, Mankato's Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering will present findings of a year-long flood mitigation study that was completed for the Zumbro River Watershed on Thursday, Aug. 22 at community meetings and a press conference in Hammond, Minn. (located about 16 miles north of Rochester, Minn.), and Rochester, Minn.
PHOTO CAPTION: Minnesota State Mankato alumni volunteer Eric Hanninan ('10) (left) reviews work and advises student team leader Sarah Green ('13) during the Zumbro River flood mitigation study done by Minnesota State Mankato.
Thursday's meetings, all open to the public, were organized by Zumbro & Friends, a community non-profit group. Meeting times and locations are:
For more information about Thursday's meetings, media should contact John Homme of the Zumbro & Friends citizens group. Homme can be reached by phone at 507-206-0177 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Five of the 14 Minnesota State Mankato students who worked on the year-long project are expected to attend Thursday's meetings. Recent graduate Sarah Green, the student lead civil engineer on the project, will have a speaking role. Minnesota State Mankato Associate Professor of Environmental Engineering Stephen J. Druschel (pictured fourth from left along with the five students) will also attend Thursday's meetings.
For more information on Minnesota State Mankato's involvement in the project, please contact Druschel by phone at 507-389-2115 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Zumbro River Flood Mitigation study is an effort to model the Zumbro River and its tributaries, providing an evaluation tool regarding potential features of flood protection for the communities along the Zumbro River that were affected in a September 2010 flood or previous events. This model will assist communities in examining options for flood protection features to limit the effects of future flooding events. The Zumbro River flood of September 2010 devastated about 20 communities, including Rochester, Minn. Many communities sustained substantial flood damage. They included Pine Island, Oronoco, Mazeppa, Zumbrota and Mantorville. One dam was lost, resulting in the permanent removal of a lake.
The flood mitigation study grew out of a Minnesota State Mankato civil engineering senior capstone project during the 2011-2012 academic year. After that project, the Minnesota state legislature awarded a $50,000 grant (one-tenth of the estimated professional cost) for the study on Sept. 24, 2012, to Minnesota State Mankato's Water Resource Center, under the auspices of the state's Department of Natural Resources. Fourteen Minnesota State Mankato students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, worked on the project and evaluated 150 miles of river.
More information is available at:
Four additional public meetings on the Zumbro River Flood Mitigation study are being planned for September.
The Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering is part of the College of Science, Engineering and Technology at Minnesota State Mankato.
Minnesota State Mankato, a comprehensive university with 15,413 students, is part of the Minnesota State Colleges & Universities system, which comprises 31 state institutions.

Deadly Destinations
"Habitats" made by humans may appeal to visitors who only look at them for a few minutes, but they're still cages for the animals who are forced to spend their whole lives in them. We buy our cotton candy and move on with our lives; the animals are there to stay. They are housed in cages that don't come close to the jungles, deserts, savannahs, and forests that are their natural homes. They have no choice in their diets, mates, or living companions. Every aspect of their lives is controlled and manipulated.
A few fleeting moments of distraction for humans mean a lifetime of misery for animals. If you care about animals, avoid animal exhibits like you would avoid poison ivy. Here are a few of the saddest spots for animals:
Barefoot Landing/T.I.G.E.R.S.
North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Barefoot Landing allows notorious exhibitor Kevin Antle to shill tiger cubs and a chimpanzee to tourists for photo ops. Antle's operation, T.I.G.E.R.S., has repeatedly been cited and fined by federal authorities for serious violations of the Animal Welfare Act, including failure to provide animals with veterinary care and proper shelter and failure to handle dangerous animals safely.
Barefoot Landing also features its "Alligator Adventure," which offers live animal shows and displays more than 700 alligators, crocodiles, tropical birds, snakes, and other reptiles.
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Part theme park, part zoo, this tourist trap displays orcas, beluga whales, dolphins, sea lions, and walruses in cramped tanks. Visitors are allowed to feed and touch the belugas throughout the day. Far too many whales and dolphins have perished at Marineland: It is estimated that more than 40 whales and dolphins have died there, approximately 25 of them dying in the last 15 years. Marineland has imported beluga whales and dolphins who were ripped from their ocean homes.
Marineland also keeps bears, deer, bison, and elk in cages surrounded by noisy roller coasters and rides.
Sea World
San Antonio, Texas; San Diego, California; Orlando, Florida
At Sea World, orca whales perform tricks for food; swim endless circles in small, barren concrete tanks; and live far short of the 60-year lifespan that orcas enjoy in the wild. In the wild, these whales live in tight family units, with bonds that may last a lifetime.
In their ocean homes, dolphins swim together in family pods up to 100 miles a day. At SeaWorld, their home is reduced to a virtual bathtub.
Sea World, which owns most of the captive orcas and dolphins in the United States, has one of the worst histories of animal care. At least 35 orcas and over 100 dolphins have died at U.S. Sea World facilities. The aquarium industry worldwide has claimed the lives of at least 150 orcas and 963 dolphins. And until it was exposed to the public, Sea World routinely shot and killed hybrid ducks who flew in and joined Sea World's resident bird population.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
Vallejo, California
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom World can't even keep its own employees happy, much less its animals! In March 2001, two former Six Flags Discovery Kingdom employees filed a report with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) alleging animal beatings, neglect, suffering, and terror caused by inadequate veterinary care, improper housing, mishandling by untrained and unqualified personnel, and exposure to noise from thrill rides and growing crowds at the park.
Since 1995, eight elephants have died at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Elephants are forced to perform tricks and give rides to park visitors. Elephant handlers and visitors to the park have been injured by elephants on three separate occasions. Despite these serious incidents, Discovery Kingdom World continues to use cruel, outdated circus-style training methods, in which elephants are beaten with bullhooks (rods with sharp metal hooks on the ends) if they don't perform on cue.
Six Flags Wild Safari
Jackson, New Jersey
There are 31 Six Flags parks in North America; Wild Safari is one of two that exhibits elephants (see Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, above). The elephants are kept in a drive-through exhibit, which means that they are subjected to a constant stream of vehicles, exhaust, and unsupervised visitors.
In one three-month period, 26 animals died at Six Flags Wild Safari. The causes of death ranged from neck and skull fractures to hypothermia, tetanus, pneumonia, and drowning. While drive-through wildlife parks give the impression that they're "sanctuaries," Six Flags Wild Safari has sold "surplus" baboons to biomedical researchers and exotic hoofed animals to hunting ranches.
Come Home Happy, Not Heartbroken
Vacations should hold only happy memories. Instead of tainting your trip by seeing tortured animals, why not simply hit the beach, take a cruise, or visit a museum? There are loads of eco-tourism companies that offer cruelty-free excursions.

Ditto to the two previous comments on Black Forest Bear Park in Helen Georgia! I just saw an instagram video showing someone feeding the bears. Absolutely APPALLED at the size of their cement prisons! In my opinion, WORSE than other Bear parks that have already been shut down! So inhumane :'(
Add Bowmanville Zoo to the list. This Ontario roadside zoo keeps an elderly lone elephant who is used for giving rides and is hired out to circuses. Many of the animals display abnormal behaviors caused by frustration and boredom. Visitors are encouraged to get up close to the animals and even feed many of them.
I'm with Courtney on this…Black Forest Bear Park in Helen GA is NOT humane and must be shut down ASAP. Please check into it, please!
The sea world in london is a very big attraction for visitors, however the penguins are badly kept they are in a place where there is little room, there is not enough space for them to swim at length nor do they have anything to do they are surrounded by a few walls and cannot put any of their natural instincts to use. I feel that this is very cruel as do other vistors.
The Amazing Animals show in Branson, MO should be added to this list. The little dogs are trained to walk on hind quarters for an audience's entertainment. Those poor little poodles! It can't be good on their delicate joints.
La isla shopping mall in cancun Mexico houses dolphins in appalling conditions. Especially with regards to the tiny tank at the top
Black Forest Bear Park in Helen, GA also needs to be reported on. They cite this place as an "attraction" where you can feed bears. It consists of 8 tiny cement cubicles, two bears to one, with a tiny "pool" for the bears to swim in. They beg for food that you can toss down to them for $1 a tray. The food consists of stale bread and rotting apples. They bake in the hot Georgia sun while sitting in a cement enclosure with their own feces. I left the place crying. It's truly disgusting.
Calgary Stampede, too, is one that needs to be exposed for the horrible, cruel form of entertainment. Especially when others are being exposed, so should them. Sadly, animal entertainment has no true laws to protect these creatures from this horrific life. Just people like us, to try to give them a voice, to speak out for help when help is needed.
Animals need a voice. When they can't vocalize, they need someone to speak for them. Animal entertainment is never in the benefit of the animal. Humans are the cruelist to these animals. We, humans caused this, we humans need to fix it. Animals lives are at stake here.
The Toronto Star article revealed that the trainer had quit over the horrific conditions that the public dont see.The sealions,walruses,and dolphins are all kept in filthy water,its so bad the workers have to wear hazmat suits and tags that turn white to indicate that the ozone levels are dangerous to be exposed to.One trainer had to quit because of skin rashes from being in the water.The sealions are blind, one had his eye pop out when he barked,are left in dry cells for months at a time with only a bucket in the corner of water,which if you see the video shows the poor creature dipping it's head into the bucket repeatedly because its eyes are burning and painful.The walrus is so distressed,it is sucking on it's flipper constantly,it's eyes are red and covered in lesions.The dolphin's skin is flaking off,IN LUMPS!The holding pen in the back,away from tourists is small,filthy green water so bad the trainers can hardly see the animals in it.The dolphins,walruses,sealions and belugas all swim with their eyes shut.The deer are in a bare area, no shade,water or food,covered in open wounds,tumors,and starved so they will eat wafer cones from kid's hands.The bears are losing their fur,and stand in a pit with green filthy water up to their waists begging to be fed cornpops, sold to tourists for 9 dollars a coneful.This is only a few of the atrocities happenning here.Please read the Toronto Star article on Marineland and any links you can find.This man is a monster in my opinion,and has no regard for anything or anyone.A baby beluga was put into a tank with two males who beat it to death over two hours,while the mother kept shoving it over to a park employee who radioed for two hours for help…none came till two hours later it was pulled from the water and died convulsing in an employee's arms.The horror stories go on and on.All this so people can see animals that don't belong there,no help,no respite,no escape from their days filled with torment.DO NOT GO THERE PLEASE.
please Stop cruelty!!!!
Shouldn't the Calgary Stampede be added to this list? The rate of yearly animal deaths each year is mind boggling, yet every year they insist all the animals are treated "according to regulations"..
at least six flags great america is just a theme park and not animal hell like discovery kingdom
When planning vactions time I will avoid going to these places;and will share with others to do the same.
This is true the lawmakers are the ones who can bring about change,but i will never go to anywhere that has caged animals, or makes them perform on cue….the circus, zoo's are all hell holes for these beautiful animals. We need to teach every child about treating animals decent, even though most humans are not.
really deadly.
Marineland is disgusting and shameful. My family took me there when I was a kid and it was just depressing. The tanks looked especially tiny, there was only one dolphin left at the time because all the others had died off. The deer were crowded and had no protection from the summer sun and they were covered in the excrement of pigeons who came to eat the food that was left on the ground. The so called 'friendship cove" where chidren can pet whales, and the poorly maintained rides are accidents waiting to happen in my opinion. This tourist trap is unsanitary and dangerous but I'm sure that it will never be shut down because every tv station in Canada plays non-stop commercials for the place that are geared towards children who want to see the animals. I am sure that this dump wouldn't be able to prop itself up if it weren't for the draw provided by the orcas and beluga whales and the scumbags from seaworld have provided them with animals to exibit and to breed so there will be more animals to suffer and pull in paying customers, so it looks like there is no end in sight.
Stop cruelty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow thanks for opening my eyes. Being canadian, i have been to Marineland twice and never knew that so many animals had died there. So sorry for going
What a despicable species we are! There is no place in this world that we do not confirm by our actions just what cruel, savage morons we are. Sadly not until the last creature is dead, will we examine our actions and then it will be far too late.
I would never even think Of going to one of these theme parks and it's time for people to realize it as well and not go so that these theme parks close.
I am so disgusted with this list. I will never go to these theme parks or support these organizations. Hell, the Six Flags in my area doesn't have a safari and I'm not going there either!
we have to put an end to animal mistreatment! what will our future look liek if we dont… and what are your children think of us knowing there living in a world where its just over looked ,there for ok??? its not right!
this type of parks are unnatural they are against the ethical treatment of animals. I dont know why men forgets always the they are animals themselve and each and every animal feel pain equally and so have equal right to live.
Stop cruelty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Animals are not people, but don't they deserve to be treated like they are? They're are not ours, and they have feelings too.They can't speak for themselves, but they CAN and they WILL be heard. How can we help?
Only animals rescued from wildlife trade, private abusive owners, labs, circuses, animal farms, cruel roadside zoos etc that cannot be returned to wild should be in captivity. Every possible effort should be made to make the lifes of captive animals as enriching as possible & they should get the best care, activities & entertainment.
If we know about this, then what is being done about it? I know that we can do are part by not going to these places, but what else can we do?
I was looking on the internet and saw this website for Animal Adventures Live located in Florida. They
are caging lions, tigers, lemurs, bears, etc. under the premise that these are unwanted animals and or dangerous. I am wondering if keeping them imprisoned is just an excuse to make money off of them? What special training do these people have that qualifies them to run a zoo for these exotics? Not a fan. -
The lawmakers are the real point to address. As awful as the some of these perpetrators are, they must be ignored to an extent in favor of focussing on the lawmakers. Because the lawmakers are the ones who can bring about definate and lasting change.
IT's orrible the suffering of this animals!Please avoid animal exhibits
Italia -
My admiration goes to Peta and all the people who are defending animals against barbarian practices of humanity. If we want a better world, it has to start with respect for non human species and nature otherwise the world will become more and more cruel toward all species including humans. It's the task of top politicians like Barack Obama and other top leaders to speak up for protection of animals and nature. It has to come from the top and then things might start to change. I admire all those who defend the rights of animals and who fight daily to protect and respect these poor creatures. When human kind will stop putting itself at the top of hierarchy of all species, things might change for the better. I pray that that day will come! meanwhile I suffer each day thinking of all animals who are being tortured, killed, exploited, manipulated for money, or purely out of sadistic behaviour. Bravo to Peta for their courage and their achievements and keeping us informed of what's going on on this planet ! You are doing a fantastic job !
With all my admiration. Christiane Vander Motte. -
It really sickens me that humanbeings think that it is their right to make money off of animals. It is slavery, pure and simple. What makes some humans really think that they have this right over animals. I actually respect animals over many people. I feel repulsed by such people who have this sense of intitlement over animal's right and freedoms!!
Adopt, rescue, or even foster a shelter pet! They need homes and r dying every minute at the hands of "us" humans! Fostering is free and is short term-u can email me if firstname.lastname@example.com. It is so life changing for these fur babies!
It just hurts my nature lovin' heart to hear/read about animals being treated so inhumanely. How can anyone believe they have the right to do such cruel things to animals and their habitats?

Soft cock makes me hard. So smooth and nice. There isn't anything much hotter than a floppy semi soft dick in your mouth, or your hand.

Just so nice to play with, even if it doesn't usually last long.

Brewers Babe of the Now
February 12th, 2009Anyone whose ever been to a Brewers game knows that for some reason girls look about 10x hotter than they normally do when they're at a game in Brewers gear. Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's our secret desire to make love to Corey Hart (doubt it) or maybe there is just something magical about Miller Park that turns every 4 into an 8. We don't know, but we love them and celebrate them here. We won't have pictures every day, but whenever we find one we'll post it.

So you're not going to Opening Day…
Miller Park April 4th, 2010
For the past two weeks I have been planning on NOT going to Opening Day. I got great tickets for Tuesday and I just didn't feel like paying the higher price for Opening Day tickets. I been there, I done that. (You got guns? Yo, I got straps.) Instead, I planned to have an Opening Day party and watching the game on TV. I make my own fun and there's nothing at the stadium that would really change that.
Well, some things have changed and I am now going to Opening Day (as a designated driver, seriously). That doesn't mean I still don't have these cool plans for an Opening Day party and that I can't share them with all of you. Read the rest of this entry »

"We are saddened to share the news that our longtime colleague Roger Ebert has died. He was 70. Roger has been writing for the Chicago Sun-Times for 46 years. The long relationship between Roger and his Sun-Times family speaks volumes about Roger's commitment to his craft and to his fans around the world. Roger's reviews were highly anticipated by readers and the film community. Film commentary was only one of several gifts. He was a reporter first, in every aspect of his craft. He could write as eloquently about world affairs as he could on the upcoming blockbuster. Roger will be missed not only by the Sun-Times family, but by the journalism and film communities. Our thoughts are with Roger's wife, Chaz, and their family during this time."

It looks like we're going on two years since the last major JUB meet was organized.
What the hell, people?!
Would there be any interest in a Chicago meet?
It looks like we're going on two years since the last major JUB meet was organized.
What the hell, people?!
Would there be any interest in a Chicago meet?
Li'l Bit would love to do a JUB meet, but his schedule will be absolutely insane for the next year or so. :~(
Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party. ~Joan Crawford
Not totally averse to Chicago. It'll depend on scheduling etc.
dunno about that. willing to travel though.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Chicago meet, hell yeah!!!
There are some times of year I'm simply not available, though. If something like this starts to jell and there are multiple options on dates, I hope I can be kept in the loop on that.
I wish this website had a more user-visible Forum for JUB meets, too. That Forum doesn't even show up on the "Forum" drop-down menu, and it only shows up if ones goes to "Show All Forums" in that menu, and after that the JUB Meets Forum is nearly at the bottom.
I remember when JUB was taken over, and one of the things mentioned by "Mark" was that the website would be taking a more active role in promoting JUB Meets. That's the one thing that seems to be an unfulfilled promise at this point.
BOSS: I'm sorry, but I'll have to lay you and Jack off.
SUE: Can you just jack off? I feel like shit today.

Chicago is just a hop and a skip for me so I'd do that (depending on when it was done)...wasn't against the NYC one either but I guess that never came about.
You must have read my mind, because just a day or two ago I was thinking to myself how it's a shame that no European meet-up was on the cards, and then it crossed my mind how nothing was even on the schedule for America for summer 2013, and I even DID think of Chicago (along with New York and California)
Why can't we organise something? The only threads in the Meetup forum are from newbies looking for hookups that rapidly descend into pointless speculation.
My recommendations for regions and JUBbers I expect/demand to attend:
European - Either NW Germany or Netherlands - Corny, geloge, treanir, Seghers, Harke, Paws
British - Either London or Midlands - ULOM, Just:Mills, mitchy, Star-Warrior, redfox70, quasar, Benderboy
East Coast U.S. - NaughtyArousal, loki81, refujiunderground, Criostoir, BostonPirate, + MN 2010 gang
West Coast U.S. - Lefty, Kulindahr, borgunimatrix69, CupidBoy, Jasun, + MN 2010 gang
^ Any of those lineups guaranteed and you can count me in, I don't care about the time or cost.
Lex - stuck in the middle.
OK, mayyyybe I could start planning one for Chicago. May usually is a good starting point to decide on a date. Thoughts?
Whenever and wherever this happens, you boys need to take a lot of pictures. I want to see these guys having good, clean fun.
Sure thing! Unless they're instant grits
I keep trying to explain that to US Border Patrol. Each time I leave Toronto after, say, 24-36 hours I'm asked, "you came to Canada for two days?" Well, yes. It's quicker than driving to the dells (popular destination about 200 miles from Chicago.)
And then I'm selected for 'additional screening'.
I wuvs me some snow! Can't wait.
I'll be in Honduras =[
But fret not! Carry on without me.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

^ Ok then..xcuse me.^^
Well you could pick a place no one here has been to like Falfurrias Texas.
Actually there are few jubbers I consider friend.. one in Paris and the other in NY
Idk if they feel the same but I'll be totally real if I had chance to meet them in person
One thing fo sure that if you feel good company, you just cant fake it..and it's good no matter how
but some ..better not meet or hook up will occur
some I just want a freebies frm him and he knows it..
we're guys after all

Cold comfort, indeed.
I lived in the East Mountains all last year, up a terrible, steep, and crooked gravel driveway. Had to park at the bottom and walk up. BUT, I lived in Anchorage from 2006 to 2009, so these things don't scare me.
Love, love, LOVE Albuquerque, so you come see me sometime when you come visit your auntie. Always welcome. That's a Southern thang (our paraphrase of Martha Stewart.)

Two months to plan?! That's going to be one hell of a lap dance...I promise a naked lap dance on a gargoyle IF we can get it going in Chicago.... I need at least two months heads up though so i can plan....
A JUB meet would be so cool!
I could do Chicago too, depending on dated. Road trip!!!!!
And the Victoria Day long weekend in May would be cool too, cause it's my birthday. Just sayin...

Inspired - but too tired.
I was thinking in the jub meet thread on the other side of the site about a couple of small(8-12 max) in the New York area which has never surprisingly had one, which frankfrank was enthusiastic about(one in late April, not coinciding with a larger proposed Chicago meet from kevbo) and one in mid September. It would be hosted by myself from Jersey City downtown waterfront overlooking the Hudson and Manhattan. This is only an idea, but if enough interest and I can get my schedule arranged accomodating this I would love to do it. Hotels are cheaper than going into Manhattan and we have a few good ones right in the area ranging from the Grand Hyatt, the Newport Westin, the Doubletree and a Marriott Courtyard within walking distance of each other. I can inquire about group rates if enough people from outside the area are interested, and of course local New Jersey/ New York jubbers would be very strongly encouraged and welcome here!
Best of all,there would be nothing planned from the outset.... whatever interests are most expressed will become part of the venue and we'll walk through large areas of Manhattan and if you want to see a bit of Brooklyn, too...easy commute and fantastic views from the East River. Let's make it our our New York adventure starting off with the wonderful panoramic secenes of the Manhattan Skyline from the Jersey City waterfront!
unofficial official mini meet Friday- Saturday April 11-12, 2014
Well,i'm out as this is only for Americans.
Wow, that sounds just wonderful too!
Inspired - but too tired.
Best chance is London a location easily reachable from anywhere since it's the air hub of the planet. Damn the dead spots on this space bar. Fuck you Sony for cheap laptop keyboards.
NJ/NYC sounds great. Love NY in spring. Not sure my medical condition will tolerate a great deal of walking -- but that's my problem to deal with.
^ Oh never fear.
At any JUB meet, you can always count on someone to be just like a sister to you.
I read there was some major drama at the Seattle Meet up
Seattle would work fine...let's just get on with it.
OK, New York has been suggested which means all other suggestions are null and void. When?
Last edited by palbert; November 14th, 2012 at 03:44 PM.
^ I only read about it second-hand here on JUB. I think some of the participants are still around.
Hell, I can walk there.

Come and join us in the Volkswagen Racing Cup, where all the action happens!
Launched in 2000, (so celebrating it's fourteenth anniversary this year), the Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup is widely regarded as the most exciting saloon car championship in the UK. For 2014, we are yet again the only saloon support race in the prestigious British Formula 3/British GT Championship package.
The good news is that we are expecting 2014 to be the most successful year in the Championship's history. We've got an exciting new-look for the cars and a fantastic new title-sponsor in Milltek Sport. There are new cars in-build, new teams and new drivers joining us, from novices to Touring Car drivers. We expect to have full grids all year, making the Milltek Volkswagen Racing Cup by far the most successful manufacturer-backed race championship in the UK.
What makes the Volkswagen Racing Cup unique? Well, if you are like us, you'll enjoy a bit of variety in your motorsport. So, instead of being a 'one-make' championship where all the cars are identical, we encourage as much variety of Volkswagen as possible, all racing together.
The regulations are pretty innovative: we put all cars together into a single class based on power to weight ratios. This variety of machinery, representing Volkswagens of all types, has made for one of the most colourful and diverse grids in motorsport, and is always a real hit with spectators.
We have a beautiful race centre for drivers, teams and our guests to make the most of at every weekend, with high quality catering to make sure everyone enjoys their time away from the racing as much as the action on the track.
The double-header race format of the racing features seven weekends in the UK and Europe. For 2014, we will again be repeating our visit to the legendary Spa Grand Prix circuit in Belgium – always a favourite with drivers, fans and teams.
And we offer one of the most valuable prizes in British motorsport. Our Championship winner will be invited as a guest of our friends in Volkswagen Motorsport, Germany for a fully expenses-paid prize drive in the final round of the Scirocco R Cup at Hockenheim at the DTM finals – the experience of a lifetime for our winner.
High standards of driving and presentation befitting a championship with manufacturer backing and television coverage are expected of all participating drivers and teams. But above all, the Volkswagen Racing Cup remains a friendly championship where team spirit and camaraderie in the paddock count for more than on-track heroics.
For more information about races and events visit our dedicated Championship website via the link below. There is information on how to get started, about the teams who offer 'Arrive and Drive', information on cars for sale, plus of course all the details you may ever want to know.
We hope you'll join us at a round or two in 2014!

Gay-rights supporters in Chicago celebrate court rulings: 'Never dreamed this could happen'
By MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA, FRAN SPIELMAN and Nausheen Husain Staff Reporters June 26, 2013 10:38AM
Dan Perry, 23, of East Lake View, at the rally in Boystown on Wednesday evening to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act. | Maudlyne Ihejirika~Sun-Times
Updated: July 30, 2013 7:28AM
When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act on Wednesday, Ald. James Cappleman (46th) and his partner, Richard Thale, didn't know what to do first: laugh or cry.
So, they did both. Then, they hugged and kissed and rejoiced in a decision they thought would never come.
"We're beyond elated. This is something we did not expect in our lifetime. We never dreamed this could possibly happen," said Cappleman, 60."When we met 22 years ago, it never occurred to us that marriage could be in the realm of possibility. Never in our wildest dreams. This reminds me when integration happened when I was a kid going to schools in Texas. This is how powerful it is for us. We are fully validated as a couple."
Supporters of gay and lesbian rights in Illinois celebrated the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, known as DOMA, while expressing disappointment that court didn't go further in explicitly declaring gay marriage a constitutional right.
In Boystown, about 500 people gathered at a festive victory rally Wednesday evening.
"We feel fantastic, this is a really, really great step forward for this movement," said Dan Perry, 23, of East Lake View, who stood on the corner with a flag and sign. "It is very necessary, but its not the end of our fight for equality."
Speaker after speaker took the stage and urged supporters to continue the fight for equal rights.
Andy Thayer, of the Gay Liberation Network, told the crowd: "Upon the Supreme Court building, it says 'equal justice under the law,' and for Illinois and many other states in the country, the Supreme Court failed to do that."
Throughout Boystown, rainbow flags were hanging and waving, and banners in front of bars heralded the court's ruling.
Many speakers lauded the court's decision but said it fell short.
"Why should we be grateful that the court has recognized something that we should have had all along," shouted aid Bob Schwartz, also of the Gay Liberation Network. "They could have ruled that marriage equality was the law of the land, but they didn't, so we have our work cut out for us. We deserve full equality now!"
Other speakers said the ruling may add pressure on Illinois legislators to pass a gay-marriage bill in the fall.
"This is a significant ruling, and something we should all be proud of. But we are painfully aware that here in Illinois, our families are not recognized, and our Legislature does not protect us," said Lee Newbecker, on stage with husband, Michael, and their daughter, Braiden, 9, and son, Michael, 10
After the two-hour rally, the crowd —holding signs, flags and banners and chanting, "What do we want? Equality! When do we want it? Now!" — marched south on Halsted into Wrigleyville, then back.
Opponents of gay marriage were relieved Wednesday that the court didn't "mandate a redefinition of marriage" nationwide.
David Smith, the executive director of Illinois Family institute in Carol Stream, described the ruling as bad news for families.
"We are extremely disappointed because this is going to open the floodgates to more homosexual activities and further the homosexual political agenda," he said.
Though nothing will change right away for gay Chicagoans, many saw the rulings as a step forward.
"The first thing that came out of my mouth this morning when I was talking to my partner was, 'I think I'm going to have to get you a ring,' " said Juan Contreras, who has been with his partner for 15 years. "They'll change the marriage bill into law, I think it's going to happen. That's why I'm excited about it."

Yes, I'll be more than glad to trade you '13 Heritage for the cards you have for me. I've jotted your ID down and will PM you with a "for trade" list as soon as I've gotten my '13 Heritage. Thanks again, Bill! Dave
