i have never regretted my decision to turn lesbian
Mmmm... yes.
I like the one in the kitchen with her leg over her head or the one on the couch with the Wii controller... :)
I never knew Sarah Jessica Parker was a ***** tho
Well, I'm against gay marriage now...
this may very well be the best OP in the history of started threads
Posted December 3, 2012
Yep I do not support gay marriage now...
That settles it.. I gotta find a lesbian wife now. Don't care a whit if she fakes it or not.. the benefits far outweigh any negatives! Hell, I won't care if she cheats, with or without me. Still a winner.

ROBERSONVILLE, N.C. -- Former NFL running back Dave Meggett
resigned from his post as the city's recreation and parks director
a month after he was charged with raping his former girlfriend.
Meggett, who played 10 seasons with the New York Giants, New England Patriots and New York Jets, thanked the town Wednesday
for the opportunity, adding that "it's apparent I will no longer
be able to complete my duties with the town of Robersonville."
Police say the 40-year-old Meggett had a tumultuous relationship
with his former girlfriend that culminated with him raping the
27-year-old woman in her home at the end of August.
Meggett, who is still jailed at the Pitt County Detention Center
on a $200,000 secured bond, is scheduled to appear in court on a
second-degree rape charge in early November.
In 1998, Meggett was arrested on a sexual assault charge in
Toronto. The charge was later dropped.
He encountered legal trouble again in 2004. He surrendered to
authorities in Dedham, Mass., when he was ordered jailed for
failing to produce $191,600 he owed in child support.
After six years with the Giants, Meggett went to New England in
1995 and played three seasons there. He finished his career with
the Jets in 1998.

Craven Jaguars Family,
It is that time of the year again! Time for football. I hope this email finds you well and ready to embark on a brand new season. The Craven Jaguars Board and staff have been busy putting together the necessities for the upcoming season. On behalf of the Craven Jaguars, I thank all of you who tirelessly work to ensure we all have a great place to play football year after year! I would like to share with you some of our recent organizational updates. This year our League has undergone change. This is the nature of football and all sports related organizations. Change can create a sense of doubt and fear of the unknown. I would like to set your mind at ease and ensure you that the Craven Jaguars has stood the test of the times.
The Craven Jaguars remains committed to all the youth in our communities and aim to support all those who fall under our banner. After the last season, our League changed its national affiliation to United Youth Football. In essence, this means we went from an AYF to a UYF. Our League was under UYF a few years back, and it has been affiliated with AYF and Pop Warner throughout the past 11-12+ years. The Craven Jaguars has remained an active force in the League and plans to remain so in order to protect the interests, the mission and the objectives of our program. In May, our past League Commissioner stepped down. The Executive Board immediately appointed an acting League Commissioner, Troy Loftin to continue the charge. The Board has remained intact and has worked in concert with the Commissioner over the last months to make the transition as smooth as possible and to ensure that all Associations from Beaufort to Carteret-Onslow to Craven Jaguars to Cove City to Morehead to Pamlico to Pitt Lightening to Onslow to all parents, players, coaches and staff involved will have the best football experience and season possible in Eastern NC in 2016. The League Board is currently reviewing and revising policies and regulations for the 2016 season to protect the interests of all, to provide transparency and to transition into a new era. On this note and transition, the Executive Board voted to change the name of League to East Carolina Youth Football in an effort to encompass all the Associations that our League supports and governs in Eastern North Carolina.
I urge you, if you have concerns or questions, please feel free to contact my email or the website email. We welcome your feedback and comments. We also need your support. This year we will be looking for members in good standing to help us carry out our mission of the Craven Jaguars Youth Football recreation program. If you have an interest in helping us do that, please let the Registration staff know of your interests in volunteering for the best youth sports program around during registration. Or you can contact me by email or email our website.
It takes all of us to be successful and plan for future endeavors. We plan for the Craven Jaguars to remain an active force in the game of football preparing our youth in our community for middle school and high school for many, many years to come. Thank you!
Tammy Behrendt, President

You may use your own source or a link may be provided to you if requested.

CALLING ALL COACHING STAFF, PAST AND PROSPECTIVE - If you are interested in coaching for the 2016 season save the date for mandatory meeting on April 27th, 6 PM at Creekside Park. Plan for a second brief meeting June 15th and a coach directed pre-camp meet the following week in preparation for camp. If there is not enough interest for camp, it will be cancelled and posted on website by June 22nd.
A Mandatory Coaches League meeting and training is scheduled for July 30th. Confirmed Venue to be announced soon. All Head Coaches will be required to attend and at least one assistant coach. All Coaches are encouraged to attend.

Also required is USA Football Heads Up Certification (if renewed through UYF affiliation cost will be $12 vs $25). Coaches will need a code from the President to receive discount. Contact Tammy for details. Finally, the CDC Free Concussion online training is required, and all paperwork must be completed and turned in prior to July 1. New to the League this season is a Player Safety Representative.
Coaches are required to wear an identifiable Jaguar colored shirt and dark or khaki shorts or pants during games and a League approved badge in plain view. If you are interested in returning to the Craven Jaguar football coaching staff and have not already done so or you are a new prospective coach, please email the website or firstname.lastname@example.com with your potential preferences for coaching and up to date contact information. If you have not done, all Coaches need to download Coaches application forms and Coaches Code of Conduct form, complete and drop off at New Bern Sporting Goods or send to President asap. We need YOU to make our program successful! Please check out our mission statement and philosophy.
Please be aware of the July 18th Registration deadline this season. Coaches should contact and encourage returning players not to wait until the last minute to register to ensure a spot on a team. We anticipate 2 teams per division, but a waiting list will be started once one team reaches capacity. If a second team doesn't make...it could mean some players will be encouraged to seek out sister organizations. Encourage players to register early!

EAST CAROLINA YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE, INC. has planned a League meeting for July for Coaches. Date and venue TBA as soon.
ANYONE INTERESTED IN COACHING THIS SEASON THAT MISSED THE first MEETING, PLEASE EMAIL TAMMY ASAP. Coaching assignments are being reviewed. Coaches if you have any requests not annotated on the sign up form, please send those also asap to be considered. Some coach groups have already been meeting in small groups. In th first meeting Coaches voted to have the Jaguar Camp this season and will be planning a pre-camp planning session in June. Stay tuned for updates.
Coaches if any of you have outstanding equipment from your teams or outstanding field equipment from last season, you will not be approved until this is taken care of. Players who have not turned in equipment will not get a spot on the list until equipment has been turned in.
Our league has implemented a certification process that includes NC DMV ID cards. This season the League requires all 6U players to have a state ID card. The Craven Jaguars requires all divisions - 12U, 10U, 8U & 6U players to obtain a NC DMV ID card for the 2016 Season. Military IDs, other State IDS & Passports are accepted. Questions contact registration personel. IDs are not required to start the practice season on July 25th. There is a 2 week turn around for ID cards. This year DMV receipts have a picture and may be accepted. No player will be able to play in games without an ID card or valid receipt. This process aids in ensuring proper uniformity with certification for all associations within our league. Another advantage of using ID cards is the safety factor. Should a child ever get lost, all the identifying information on the ID card can be in any police car & Amber alert system in America in less than 2 minutes!To obtain an ID card, you can set up an appointment or drop by one of the below locations.

Read reviews from past Contiki travelers.
I did this trip solo in July '15 and I finished with 49 new friends. 'High energy' is not a strong enough description for this trip, it was non-stop from the morning we left London to the day we came back to London. We saw so many sights and did so many things that I now cannot wait to come back to Europe and explore these places more. The 4 day stop-over in Corfu is the perfect way to relax half way through the trip before getting straight back into it in Venice. Whilst the accomodation isn't 5 star, it is a budget trip and majority of the places we stay are actually pretty good, just be mindful of bed bugs, they do exist and they do bite. Your tour manager and driver become your parents, telling you where to go and where to not go and recommending places to eat etc etc. Driving days turn into days to catch up on sleep and your tour group becomes your family. It's way too hard to pick a favourite day/moment/place because they're all incredible in their own way. I 200% recommend this tour, just one more thing- bring as many vitamins and panadol as you can because Contiki Cough is a real thing but you won't let it ruin your trip of a lifetime!!!!
This is a trip that if you have the chance to do - DO IT! We started in Christchurch early and headed off to Lake Ohau... we had a large group of about 52 which was great! We made plenty of stops along the way at beautiful lakes and townships. Our Tour manager NICK was the absolute BEST I have not one bad word to day about him. He definitely made the trip what it was, he was so knowledgeable about the country and kept us all entertained along the way. Lake Ohau was breathtakingly beautiful and was a great location for the first night as the only thing there is the lodge. That night we had dinner and chilled out in the bar/ rooms and got to know everyone in a very relaxed atmosphere. The next day we loaded onto the bus and headed for Dunedin. Once again along the way we made plenty of scenic stops. We got to the hotel and had a few hours free time and met up again and went on a brewery tour, followed by a group dinner. While we were having dinner it had started snowing (which for us who have never seen snow was AMAZING!) we went out tonight and partied contiki style. Getting up the next morning and loading onto the bus was a struggle but we all did it. We were then en route to my favourite part of the tour QUEENSTOWN. Oh my gosh.. I cannot write enough about Queenstown. It is the quaintest, adventure packed, most picturesque little town you will ever visit. We stayed at the Tanoa Aspen which was up on the hill overlooking the township and "The Remarkables" mountain range. it was about a $14 taxi fare into town which was so worth it for the views. We stayed here for 4 nights which was the perfect amount of time. People were bungy jumping, canyon swinging, sky diving, luging, snowboarding constantly and everything was professionally booked and handled by our Tour manager which made it SUPER easy for everyone. I had been told when in Queenstown trying a Fergburger is a must - I now agree.. it was the best bloody burger I have every had in MY LIFE! it was very sad leaving Queenstown.. it was amazing seeing all the snow everywhere also. We left Queenstown and headed to Franz Josef which was a nice little town in the rainforest. Our accommodation was basic but was all we needed. The bar went off with us there and we all had a great time taking advantage of the cocktail specials. Unfortunately due to bad weather (which changed in a heartbeat) majority of the Optional activities involving the Glaciers were cancelled. Be prepared for many cancellations due to weather. As Nick our tour manager told us.. do get excited until you are actually doing the activity. After two nights in Franz Josef it was back to Christchurch which marked the end of our trip for all of us except 14 people who were continuing on to do the North Island. If you have the time and money I would recommend doing both islands as coming back and having to watch your "new friends" continue on without you sucks! haha but all in all it was a trip of a lifetime!! There was nothing that Contiki hadn't planned for. We had fun on the bus, our day song was perfect for the trip, the 51 "new friends" I made, made the trip what it was. I have made plenty of life long friends. Contiki you have done it again!!!!!!!! :)
Despite the unpredictable weather of Australia, this trip was amazing. I met so many incredible people and saw parts of Australia that I have never seen before. 10/10 recommend this trip.
After spending 23 days on the road I might be happy to have my own bed, but I wish I was still on tour! The Trail was worth every penny and I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I met the most incredible people, friends for life, and our tour manager Lo was superb! The Trail was the perfect mixture of fast paced sightseeing and epic nights out, and I'm so glad we got to visit Prague and Budapest as they were two of my favourite stops on the tour! I highly recommend joining the Tour! You'll meet the best people and it's the best way to see Europe!
Basically... this trip is amazing. For those who love to party... IBIZA, enough said. There is so much more to this tour than that though! Spain was absolutely beautiful, every city had nightlife (even when my tour director said it wasn't good (to not disappoint us after IBIZA), it was amazing!). I never thought I would love Spain as much as I did. My tour director Feddo was absolutely phenomenal (my deepest sincerities if you do not have the pleasure of having him). The culture was absolutely amazing.. and if you do not go to see Sagrada Familia in your spare time in Barcelona... you're missing out, big time. So party it up, have a blast...and get ready for heavy culture and a lot of partying!
I loved every second of this trip. Our guide, Maite' was extremely helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. The hotels that we stayed in were actually really nice compared to others I have been to in Europe. I was a little nervous to travel alone, but I found that there were always new friends to adventure with. We got to do so many awesome activities (like pasta making and wine tasting at a Tuscan vineyard) that I probably would not have had the chance to do outside of Contiki. This trip is a great value for the money and I would not trade the experience for anything!
Well everybody this trip was just amazing. I could rant on for hours but ill keep it short. I have never been overseas and it was just an experience of a life time. I cant really seem to put into words how to explain how i felt but i just wish it could have lasted for ever. I loved every moment of the tour ( even when i had the bad CONTIKI COUGH which evolved into Influenza for me i still managed to recover and have fun) The tour managers and drivers are amazing people and they work really hard to see you have a good time. The people on the tour i feel as though i have made friends for life and you seriously feel like a little family at the end of it. All i can say is that be yourself do and experience things that you normally don't and we had this little saying on our tour " Its not wrong its just different" Peace out #WHITEWADA
If you are thinking of doing this trip, I highly recommend it. From visiting the various temples, riding elephants, watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat and relaxing on a boat on the Mekong River and Halong Bay, there is something to experience for everyone. This tour is a good mixture of culture, adventure and partying.
Nikki was an awesome tour manager and she always made sure everyone was having fun. Her ideas for the theme parties were fantastic and the gender bender party helped everyone to bond when we first met in Thailand.
The accommodation and food was great and I highly recommend doing all the optionals especially the elephant ride and the cruise around the islands off Nha Trang.
I went on this trip by myself but I've made friends for life so don't be afraid to start do this tour by yourself. If you like shopping, the night markets are fantastic especially in Thailand. At home, I'm not a shopper but I loved the night markets and found some fantastic skirts, elephant pants and tops and they were all cheap.
My tips for this trip:
Definitely wear sunscreen and always remember to reapply. It's not fun getting burnt.
Insect Repellent was great. I didn't take Malaria tablets (it's a personal decision if you do or don't) but I think I only got bitten by one or two mosquitoes because I was constantly re-applying the insect repellent.
Be prepared to finish the trip a lot fitter than you started. There are a lot of steps to climb and squat toilets to use (don't be scared to use them)
Try all the local foods including the street food. You will be amazed at how great it is. Fast food restaurants aren't common (non-existent in Laos) and Burger King was my least favourite meal for the whole trip.
Don't forget to bring temple wear (long pants and shirts with sleeves) although elephant/happy/fisherman pants are cheap to buy when you are there. You do need them though for the first day of the tour when you visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok
WiFi is everywhere making it easy to facetime/Skype family and friends back home.
Get out of your comfort zone and remember to experience everything including eating bugs from the street vendors.
I have no regrets from this trip and I'm sure you won't either if you choose to do it.
Loved the trip and my awesome tour manager Nihar! We shared so many adventures and even though we got a bit sick from air conditioning (because it was awesomely hot), we still had an amazing time! My only regret is that I didn't do the additional Greek Island tour! So envious of those who went on to do that while I was flying home! Greece was definitely my highlight!
I did the European Escapade from the 25th June-19th July 2015. This was my first ever contiki tour and it was absolutely amazing!
It was an awesome trip! there was about 53 people on our tour and 50 of them were Australian, we had one Korean, one American and one Canadian.
I had Stacey as our tour manager and Rado as our bus driver.
Stacey was an amazing tour guide, friendly, bubbly, knowledgeable and a good laugh. Rado was an excellent bus driver and got us to most places on time!
I travelled with my best friend and we stayed 2 nights in London before our tour started, we stayed at The Royal National Hotel, the hotel is nothing special but it's where everyone meets up and it was cheap. If you want to see a lot of london, i recommend going a week before because there is just so much to see!
Take lots of money for Europe, because it is very expensive!!! Mainly for souvenirs, food and drink.
Also you need Franks for Switzerland.
Definitely bring cold and flu tablets because you will get the contiki cough! its not very nice but it didn't ruin my european experience.
A lot of time is spent on the coach, but you get plenty of service stops and most people just catch up on sleep.
Make sure to write a journal, because it is very hard to remember what do you did at each place.
Places we went to:
Paris: Paris was amazing! Esargot and Champagne, Bus tour through Paris, climbed the Eiffel Tower, saw the flashing lights, amazing views from the top. Paris didn't feel very safe but we all stayed as a group and looked out for each other. We didn't get to go in the Louvre as the line was too long which was disappointing, climbed the Arc de Triomphe, went inside the Notre Dame Cathedral. Parisian dinner was nice but loads of steps to get to it, i don't recommend wearing heels! The Cabaret show was different, we saw the Nouvelle show, clubbing in Paris is so much fun.
Beaujolais Wine Region: Here we stayed at Contiki's French Chateau which was really nice. Amazing views of the vineyards, group picnic in the hills, wine tasting, swimming pool, volleyball, 'P' party, cheap drinks. Very relaxing, beautiful Place!
Barcelona: The hotel in Barcelona was good, it had aircon and was close to everything. We drank Sangria at a pub called Black Sheep and did loads of shopping! On our free day me and my friend lost the group and got so LOST!! Don't ask anyone for directions because they send you the wrong way. It was a good way to see Barcelona. Nightlife was good, we went to a beach bar and hit a club afterwards, they do amazing cocktails there!
French Riviera/Nice: One of my favourite places on this tour! Gorgeous beaches, no sand, all pebbles! beware of that when its very hot. We went up to the lookout and there were incredible views!! The contiki campsite we stayed at wasn't that good, the cabins were very hot! We visited the Monte Carlo Casino which was gorgeous, but only had 45 mins in there which was a bit disappointing. There was a theme park nearby which we went to and the beach was only about a 15 min walk away.
Florence: On the way we stopped off at the Leaning tower of Pisa where we got photos. We went on a walking tour and saw the Fake David Statue and went inside the museum. Ate gelato, saw lots of gypsies (be warned, they try to kiss your hand so you give them money). Karaoke night was fun, drank lots of cocktails. The Space Electronic disco was cool but you get drinks cards, they only let you get a few drinks and then have to keep paying them off which was a bit annoying.
Rome: Walked through the Vatican City, The Sistine Chapel was incredible but very crowded with people. Saw the Colosseum, tour guide wasn't very good, could barley hear her but still very good to see. We tossed coins in the Trevi fountain but was still under construction which was disappointing. The whole group got lost on the train ride back, but was an adventure. Camp site was nice, there was a pool and a games room but be prepared for mosquitos! We had a i love Roma party here, where we all signed each others shirts which was good.
Venice: Venice was so nice, the best parts being the gondola rides and the guided tour, we got the best tour guide so funny! Saw St Mark's Square. At the campsite we had a masquerade party but most people couldn't make it as they were sick with gastro!
Vienna: Here we went to a leather demonstration where most of the girls bought puzzle rings (be warned if they come undone, they are very hard to put back!) Ate gelato, there isn't that much to do in Vienna for the free day so some people went back to camp. Prater park was cool and had schnitzel for dinner which was nice. Mozart and Strauss was good to see, plus we got to go backstage and drink free champagne, bonus!
Munich: Stopped off at the Mauthausen Concentration Camp which was sad to see. Mike's Bikes tour, we got absolutely drenched but was so fun! Funny tour guides, went through some english gardens and went to the second biggest beer hall in the world, where you could drink beer and buy a stein which were very cheap!!
Austrian Tyrol: This place was soo nice, amazing scenery. Mountain bike riding was really fun and tiring. We got to keep our bikes for the whole day which was awesome! Paragliding was the best! i was so scared but i think nearly everyone did it. Bobsledding really hurts, i didn't like it at all, it was my least favourite thing. White water rafting was really fun too, definitely do that.
Swiss Alps: Jungfraujoch mountain was incredible, it was a 2 hour train drive to the top but was so cool. It was so hot at the top, i definitely recommend wearing sunscreen because there was a few of us that got very burnt! At the top there is heaps to do, but its very expensive. Drinks from the bar at our hostel were so expensive, most people went to the local shop and bought drinks from there.
Rhine Valley: We stopped over in Heidelberg, which was a nice little town to buy souvenirs or get your passport stamped. Saw the biggest cuckoo clock in the world, watched how beer steins are crafted. Later on we did wine tasting, which was good if you like white wine.
Amsterdam: The bike ride in Edam was fun, we saw how clogs are made and did cheese tasting. There is heaps of bikes everywhere here! Saw the Red light district which wasn't as good as what people make it out to be. We went to a sex show but i didn't enjoy it, it was too intense plus i was sat in the front row! The canal pedal boats were fun and got to go in the Van Gough Museum, which took up a lot of time. Unfortunately we didn't make it to Anne Frank's house or the Bolls museum. We took photos in front of the IAmsterdam sign which is a must do! The canal cruise was awesome, free drinks and a good way to end the trip. The Sea Palace dinner, I'm not too sure about as i didn't make it past entree. Tip: don't drink too much wine before dinner. Loads of cafes if you're into that sort of thing, over there it is legal to smoke weed in a cafe.
Overall this trip was a massive eye opener and i enjoyed it so much and met some amazing people, who at first are just strangers and by the end you become one big family. I would highly recommend going on this tour, you see a lot of Europe in just 25 days!!!
This was my very first Contiki trip- I'm very happy for choosing to dip my feet in the water it this as my first while being a solo traveller. I was very excited to see we had 42 people in our group! I made quite a few friends :)
Katrina was my tour manager and she was very knowledgeable in everything we did sharing fun facts and historic information. Tyson was our driver in the coach and he was very real and friendly! My favourite part of the trip was the "Me time" Moulin Rouge option. I took so many outstanding photos but how can you not with the scenery and architecture that was around us! We ran into an issue where the ferries were on strike and sadly we didn't get to Paris as quickly as we hoped but Katrina handled it and got us on a ferry the same day. I would definitely recommend this memorable trip to anyone who wants to learn about London, Paris and its fantastic monuments. Well worth the money! No regrets
I went solo on this tour and can honestly say it was the best week of my life with the coolest people. There was a fair amount of time spent on the bus between destinations but it was never monotonous. Kiran our guide was so much fun and everyone in the group got along really well. Can't wait to book my next trip.
The Kiwiana Panorama trip was awesome and worth every penny. The optional excursion prices can seem abit daunting but some are experiences of a lifetime. Skydiving over Queenstown at 15,000 ft was beautiful and such a rush, extreme cliffhanger swing in Taupo was another great feeling. I'v enever laughed so much doing Funyaks along the Dart river and the endless banter and partying you have with your new friends cannot be beaten!
Everyone should visit Egypt at least once in their lifetime! Despite what's on the news on TV, Contiki really went out of their way to make us feel safe. We had a security guard at some sites, and security with us when crossing the Sahara dessert on our way to Abu Simbel! our own entourage, how cool is that!? :) Over all, the trip was amazing, we had a very small group (13 of us), and Sherif, our amazing tour guide! He really made us feel taken care of and safe. Our accommodations were for the most part very good, but this is the reason why I can't give this trip 5 stars. The hotel in Cairo where you stay the first and last night, is just not a good place . By no means am I bashing it, because I know that this is budget traveling, but the place had bed bugs! Two of the rooms had bed bugs, and two of us woke up with our bodies covered in bites :( I talked to the tour guide manager and on the last night they moved me to a different room, but I feel that they should have booked a different hotel for us altogether. I strongly feel that Contiki should look for a different accommodation while in Cairo, so that there aren't any more incidents with bedbugs. The cruise accommodation was amazing, and the one in Hurgada with a beautiful view!! Overall, I have NO REGRETS having gone on this trip, which was my first with contiki, and I am already thinking about where to go next! :)
I didn't think within the timespan we had in each city we would have enough time to experience a lot, but with our tour manager Treasa and our bus driver Majick they had managed to let us see the sights as much as possible. I did most of the metime options and I recommend to do every single one of them because everyone does them anyway and it's a good time to interact with everyone and experience everything all at the same time. The accommodation wasn't very fancy but it seems like a small con out of the whole trip. Just keep in mind to bring a power board or some type of adapter with a lot of USB ports because there aren't very much power outlets. I met so many people on my trip that were around the same area I lived in and it was amazing how sad it was to leave everyone even though we knew each other for only 14 days. But i've managed to keep in touch with a lot of people i've met on tour even though they're from another state or country. They weren't kidding when they said you first travel with strangers and leave as a family.
What can I say, what an amazing 9 days. It helps when you have an amazing contiki team to guide and drive you all over Europe Jay and Eric were absolute legends. The group I had was absolutely amazing and a great variety, Aussies, Americans, Canadians, South Africans and even a guy from the UK. We all hit it off from day one but it also helps when your tour guide makes you all comfortable from the start. We honestly had an amazing guide and I hope everyone gets to have him as there guide as he is very knowledgable and is so easy going and laid back and is ready for a good time any time and any place. Accomodation was great, me time optionals were great and the food we got was also great. This tour has some amazing inclusions, mikes bikes tour in Munich is a must it's included in the contiki and not as an optional, it was my favourite activity the guides are brilliant and they take you to a beer garden for a stein and then let you back on the bikes to cycle around some more. Top blokes and Such a laugh. Paris was amazing we were there for there national day known as Bastille day so to be there on that day was pretty surreal. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone, I had the time of my life! #noregrets #contikijay #legends #europeanmagic2k15
My boyfriend and I just got back from our Contiki trip to Berlin, Prague, and Vienna. We had an amazing time! Our trip manager, Nick, was super knowledgeable and fun. He always had great suggestions for places to eat or bars/clubs to check out. He suggested a rooftop bar in Prague that had amazing views of the city and was one of the highlights of our trip. Before going on the trip I didn't know what to expect from the ME Time Optionals but I definitely suggest doing all of them. Some of our favorites were the Berlin bike tour (amazing food and an awesome guide), the nuclear bunker tour in Prague, and the Strauss/Mozart concert in Vienna. Almost everyone went on each Optional and it was the perfect opportunity to bond with other people on the trip. My only regret was not being able to travel all the way to Budapest (since the full trip is Berlin to Budapest). We were sad to leave the tour and our new found friends in Vienna. I absolutely recommend this trip if you are interested in these cities and I hope you're lucky enough to get Nick as your trip manager!
Wow, just wow. What an amazing experience this trip was.
Everything we did was just extraordinary, from being blessed by monks, riding elephants, traveling through Halong Bay on a private boat, everything just made you say "I can't believe I am actually doing this!"
The Accommodation, The food, the activities and even our awesome tour manager Az was perfect, I would do it all again in a heart beat!
Wear suncream, trust me, I got second degree burns and had to go to a dodgy Cambodian hospital, wear your suncream.
Don't bother with Maleria tablets, you don't need them.
Try all the street food, just eat everything.
There are a lot of steps, be prepared.
I would honestly recommend this trip to anyone and everyone, it was spectacular.
You will make friends for life.
Thank you so much Contiki!
The Spanish Spree was by far the greatest holiday I have been on!
It was so jam packed with everything - bit of party (as in a lot), relaxing (on beaches when you aren't getting lost in a magical new city) and history (when you remember to listen or don't get lost because your distracted by something)!
I went solo & booked a triple and came back with so many new friends!
The accommodation is pretty good, all the breakfasts are satisfying and the things you see you will remember for life... unless you get to schwasted at Ibiza and forget everything.
- Add a booking NOW.
- Be prepared to cry your little eyes out on the last day when you have to leave everyone.
I AM IN LOVE WITH CROATIA AFTER DOING THIS TOUR... seriously, drop everything right now & book a Contiki Croatia cruise. Only thing preventing it from being 5 stars is that the rooms are very hot at night & sleeping is uncomfortable... hopefully Contiki looks into working on this. I really can't put into words how great this tour is. You'll see some amazing places that you didn't even know existed... you'll connect with amazing people... you'll get a tan... just go!!! Go to Croatia!!!

Sandakan's most famous expat author
Though the original house was destroyed during WWII, a replica has been constructed and turned into a museum filled with relics from the author's life.
Literary fans will love matching passages from her novels to rooms in the mansion, but others might find the museum a bore.
The souvenir shop sells paperback copies of Keith's books for a whopping 69 ringgit. To get here it's a 15-minute uphill walk from the city centre or taxis charge 10 ringgit. Since you're up here anyway, pair it with lunch at the charming English Tea House.

Greatest Genre Mash-Ups
June 12, 2009 - With kung fu/vampire crossover flick Blood: The Last Vampire hitting screens this summer, IGN thought it was about time we tackled the subject of genre mash-ups. The films that start out heading in one direction, then violently about-turn to head somewhere entirely different. Or the ones that effortlessly (or not so effortlessly) hop from genre to genre with nary a thought for convention or tradition. So without further delay, here's our list of the greatest genre mash-ups in history, and as ever, if you think we've missed any out, feel free to add your own to the comments section below.

Whether from above or below, Hollywood has given us a wealth of angels, fallen or otherwise, to terrify and redeem audiences across the globe. From corrupt angels and soft-hearted demons to straightforward pitchfork-wielding devils and golden-winged seraphim, there's no shortage of otherworldly cinematic icons from which to draw, and while Tom Hanks might not be battling actual demons with the help of actual angels, many a protagonist have.

Mignola On The Hellboy Juggernaut
July 9, 2008 - This summer is quite possibly the greatest ever for fans of big budget superhero movies. Amidst all the Iron Mans and Dark Knights of Hollywood, a sequel to a little film called Hellboy is set for release this Friday. Hellboy 2: The Golden Army returns to this quirky band of monster hunters and investigators, offering another unique blend of visual flourish and character development. Of course, any self-respecting comic book fan is aware that Hellboy has been a major player in the industry for well over a decade now. Last week saw the release of the latest in a long line of Hellboy mini-series – The Crooked Man #1. As the creator of Hellboy, Mike Mignola was heavily involved in both projects. As our excitement for Hellboy 2 continues to grow, we tracked down Mignola to find out his thoughts on developing the sequel and why the filmmakers chose to veer from the comics. Naturally, we also discussed the process of writing The Crooked Man and where it fits in with past stories. Mignola even reveals some details on the next Hellboy project, In The Chapel of Moloch, which he will both write and draw.

Local Area:
State College is near Altoona and within driving distance to both Philly and the Poconos. There are tons of restuarants to eat at. There are plenty of shopping outlets in the area for clothes and groceries. The cata bus system provides excellent transportation services both on campus and off. Beaver stadium is our beloved football stadium and on football weekends there is no place like it: food, friends, and football! Everywhere you go you can be sure to hear a we are chant! WE ARE! PENN STATE!
Off-Campus Dining:
Downtown State College has tons of dining options. Ther are both chain restaurants and small cafes and diners. RU Hungry is famous for their 'fat' sandwiches and Irvings is a qauint cafe with tons of options. The off campus food is suitable for all types of palets and tastes!
Local Area:
Everyone is extremely supportive of the school and all of the events and extracurricular activities! The shopping is great and teh community is very close-knit. It's a great place to be!
Off-Campus Housing:
It REALLY depends where you are. It's a great idea to rent a house with friends, and I've heard great things about the apartments. Watch out for those, though, they tend to be just like the dorms except with nicer kitchens and bathrooms.
Local Area:
Everything is very business oriented. Everyone acts like they're going to a meeting all the time. Some of us are. But it's also fun, and I've made really great friends here.
Off-Campus Dining:
There is a good mix of cheap fast food, desert places, and nicer restaurants. I'm not sure how I feel about the prices being student-friendly; eating out can be expensive downtown. However, cheaper options are available and there's a lot to choose from.
Campus Quality:
There is no other thing like Penn State's campus life. The student union (known as the HUB) is always bustling with students and student groups, and is central to campus. It's newly renovated and will be further renovated within the next few years, and has restaurants, coffee places, hangouts and is the perfect place to meet a friend for lunch! At Penn State, there are tons of student organizations to join, and many students join one or more organizations to get involved on campus. There are tons of ways to get involved and make friends, and it comes together to make one big Penn State community.
Greek Life:
The Greek Life at Penn State is great, but it definitely is not a necessity at Penn State. It only takes up a little of the social life at Penn State, and you do not have to be involved in Greek Life in order to make friends or attend social events. Some of my friends are in Greek Life and absolutely love it, and some of my friends chose not to and are doing just fine. If you're interested, definitely rush, and you can always decide after rush if greek life is fit for your or not.
Campus Quality:
I can't fit every positive thing about Penn State in this description. Penn State has been recognized for its academics, its athletics and its student organizations. Friendly faces are everywhere at Penn State, and the facilities are top notch and fit every students' needs. At Penn State, a unique opportunity is THON, a 46-hour dance marathon that benefits pediatric cancer, and is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world.
Campus Housing:
The campus housing at Penn State is not too bad depending on where you live. Freshman live in some of the worst dorms on campus (East Halls), so I think the Housing gets a bad rap right off the bat. However, I was a freshman and applied early for housing and received a contract to live in North Halls. They are suite style and had air conditioning and our own bathroom which is, for obvious reasons, a huge advantage. The only complaint I had about North Halls is that it is very quiet and actually not a good option for Freshman; you are better off living in East actually because you will meet so many other Freshman. West and South Halls are somewhere in the middle and, in my opinion, the best options for Campus Housing. Closer to the downtown area, better dinning options, always busy and people always around.
The varsity sports at Penn State are as competitive as it gets. Plenty of facilities for the Division I athletes but are also made available to the general population of students.
I double major, and it's all about what you want to get out of it. I put in a lot of work into both my majors, and take high level, honors courses to challenge myself. Because I challenge myself so I spend more time and resources on my majors than the average college student. I usually read and write a lot, I work with statistics a lot, and have to think about it's real world application constantly. Overall, however I love both my majors, the faculty and the work is interesting, and there are so many opportunities for amazing experiences.
Party Scene:
I like the night life at Penn State, it has something for everyone. There are free concerts, free movies, crafts, parties, dances, special guests, awesome food, etc. There is a lot going on constantly, you just have to keep your eyes open for the opportunities!
Campus Quality:
It's hard to sum up what sets Penn State apart because there is so much; the student body, the spirit, the faculty, the campus, the night life, the athletics. To me though the community is the main thing that sets Penn State apart, it's not like other universities. We have such a massive campus, but you feel like you're at home, with friends everywhere and a sense of comfort, despite constantly being surrounded by 40K others.
The people in the aid offices work very hard to help students, but due to the sheer volume of people who attend the university it can still make it difficult to get all the help you need. They try really hard though and are very educated. My tips would be to take advantage of campus jobs and to stay on track with keeping a budget - keeping the book balanced is imperative.
Campus Quality:
Penn State's campus is amazing. It is large, and open and beautiful. The new buildings are fantastic, the HUB is easy to navigate and wonderful, and old buildings are constantly being brought up to date. There is so much to do on campus, it's so easy to get involved and enjoy your time there. The residence halls are functional and fun, the dinning commons serve good food that changes to keep things interesting, and the community as a whole is just amazing.
Greek Life:
We have a very large Greek life and it is always there for parties but it is not something the majority joins. There is no pressure to join because you can enjoy what they have to offer without being a member but if you are looking to be in a frat or sorority there are many options and opportunities.
It is nice in the beginning of the semester and end. We almost never have snow days but there is a lot of snow. Rain is what you could expect for the majority of your days. Make sure you purchase rain boots and a good umbrella.
I think the police force is very fair here at state college. If you are acting out of order or being extremely loud or disruptive you will be caught and punished. If you are being responsible and looking out for each other then you will be fine.
Guys & Girls:
With Penn State being so large and diverse there is a little bit of every type of guy or girl here. There are the jocks, the geeks, the country or city boys, the art type, musical, anything you could want you will be able to find. As a girl, I would say the same goes for the girls. Everyone is different and it is very easy to find your group or explore a new one.
Off-Campus Dining:
Downtown State College is filled with amazing restaurants and dining. It has a diverse amount of types and styles of food and everybody has there favorite spot. Everything is easily accessible because everything is within walking distant and if you do not like to walk there is always a bus running. My personal favorite is the Deli. I love everything from the food to the paintings on the building. It is a great place with a wide variety of food at a reasonable price.
I came to Penn State for a Communications Degree and have loved it thus far. I have had inspiring and passionate professors who are there to help and guide me with anything I may need. I have had classes with great discussion and course work that really helped me to understand what I am doing and what my future career will hold.
I am at Penn State University Park, and thus far I have been very satisfied with my education. I feel my major of Broadcast Journalism in the Communications College, is very good but lacking in a few areas. I have had passionate professors who have inspired me and given me a fair workload, interesting and compelling courses and opportunities to join organizations in my field. I feel it is lacking with its hands on experience and internship availability for this field.

Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

Product Description
Martin Scorsese's brutal black-and-white biography of self-destructive boxer Jake LaMotta was chosen as the best film of the 1980s in a major critics' poll at the end of the decade, and it's a knockout piece of filmmaking. Robert De Niro plays LaMotta (famously putting on 50 pounds for the later scenes), a man tormented by demons he doesn't understand and prone to uncontrollably violent temper tantrums and fits of irrational jealousy. He marries a striking young blond (Cathy Moriarty), his sexual ideal, and then terrorizes her with never-ending accusations of infidelity. Jake is as frightening as he is pathetic, unable to control or comprehend the baser instincts that periodically, and without warning, turn him into the rampaging beast of the title. But as Roman Catholic Scorsese sees it, he works off his sins in the boxing ring, where his greatest athletic talent is his ability to withstand punishment. The fight scenes are astounding; they're like barbaric ritual dance numbers. Images smash into one another--a flashbulb, a spray of sweat, a fist, a geyser of blood--until you feel dazed from the pummeling. Nominated for a handful of Academy Awards (including best picture and director), Raging Bull won only two, for De Niro and for editor Thelma Schoonmacher. --Jim Emerson

The film is most often compared to "Rocky," more than any other, apparently because they both concern a certain level of boxing. As much as I absolutely adore "Rocky," "Raging Bull" is a deeper, more realistic film. But whereas "Raging Bull" is raw, "Rocky" is inspiring. The only connecting thread is the apparently central theme of boxing, which is used as a theme in "Rocky," and a backdrop in "Raging Bull." They're entirely different motion pictures -- one uplifting, the other somewhat depressing -- and the people who try to decide which is better need to seriously re-evaluate their reasons for doing so. They both succeed splendidly well at what they are trying to do, and that's all I have to say about their so-called connection.
The boxing scenes easily rank with the most brutal and violent moments ever put on film, shot in stark, unadorned black and white and utilizing unlikely sounds including shattering windows and animal cries to great effect. Thelma Schoonmaker's jarring, discordant editing in these scenes also deserves special mention.Read more ›
The film tells the true story of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, played with incredible intensity by Oscar winner Robert De Niro. As La Motta rises through the ranks to earn his first shot at the middleweight title, he falls in love with Vickie (Cathy Moriarty), a true "gal" from his Bronx neighborhood. Jake's inability to express his feelings pours out in the ring and eventually takes over his life and in his dealings with his brother, Joey (Joe Pesci). Irrational, consuming jealousy over Vickie, as well as an insatiable appetite, sends him into a downward spiral that costs him his title, his wife, and his relationship with Joey.
De Niro delivers one of the screen's most unforgettable performances. La Motta's smolder and and anger are played to perfection. De Niro plays it very unsympathetically, yet its graphic depiction is impossible not to see through to the end Pesci and Moriarty are just as intense as go toe toe with De Niro Scorsese and cinematographer Michael Chapman shot the film with a style that makes the boxing scenes overflow with a boundless energy and adds immediacy to the endless arguments that boil over whenever Jake is outside the ring. The use of black and white ends up, only enhancing the movie, was a masterstroke.
The current (and hard to find) DVD has very little bonus material on it. The theatrical trailer and MGM's hallmark, known as the "8 page booklet", with production notes and trivia, is all there is.
At the risk of repeating myself, Raging Bull--a masterpiece of the cinema--deserves the special edition treatment. Meanwhile, the current disc gets **** and a 1/2 stars
Pesci is stunningly effective as De Niro's brother, and 18 year old Cathy Moriarty marks a very impressive debut as the sultry Vickie.The script is perfect and every bit as profane and vulgar and in your face as it needs to be.
True, this film tends to lose it's compellingness as a drama during the film's tiny dry spots.But it's a wondrous character study, one of the best of all time; and the mastery of De Niro's performance is earth-shattering.
Raging Bull is a driven and unforgettable character study of famous 1940's boxer, Jake La Motta. Jake La Motta was a rather pathetic figure.He had raging tempers and outbursts of jealousy and rage that he himself could not control.I'm not even sure he knew where he was coming from.He was violent and ridiculously controlling of everyone and eveything around him.He rode high when boxing was good to him, but when he gave up his career, his angry ways caught up with him and he was left with no one to care about him. And yet, despite Jake acting like an egotistical son of a b*tch,I sympathized with him, deeply.I sympathized with him because in the end, he liced his life the only way that he knew how.He loved the ones around him the only way that he knew how.He wasn't a bad man by choice; he was simply a weak man who wasn't capable of controlling his inner demons.The boxing scenes create the perfect atmosphere of blood and lust and sweat and rage.
Joe Pesci, who plays Joey, Jake's brother, and manager is excellent and could've easily been granted his academy award.He deftly moves through the film capturing all his character's many dimensions.In many ways, Joey is not much different from his brother-he was just able to control himself more.Every scene Pesci is in, is an unforgettable one, because he brings something new to each one.Cathy Moriarty is perfect as Jake's wife of eleven years.You witness her descent from a young beauty full of life and vitality into a world-weary housewife with barely any freedom or life of her own.
But this film belongs to a man called Bobby D. Robert De Niro is absolutely brilliant.Read more ›
