Dear Mike,

Welcome . . .

Chewin' the Fat is a publication from The Complete Bear designed for the bear community. It is published on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month.

Chewin' the Fat will offer up the best of the bear lifestyle - casual, cool, or woofy. Whatever it takes to complete the bear.

For the bear, his cub and their den . . .

 Better late than never?
 finals thoughts on 2008

Pole R Bear - Happy New Year 2009 This newsletter was due the day after Christmas. Let's just say the last few weeks have been a tad busy, so my humble apologies for its tardiness. But in our defense, we've been working our furry little (OK, not so little) butts off getting ready for 2009. And a special thanks to Frisch for Pole R Bear!

On Dec 1, Ning announced that all sites with adult content would be deleted. Now you know how nasty you bears can be. Got Fur? was once again looking for a new home - and yes you can still post a pic of Mr Happy, if you want. Actually, we found two homes for Got Fur?

First, Got Fur? a free online dating site for bear. A chance to meet Mr Right or Mr Right Now!

Second, Bears in the Woods is a social networking site to replace the Ning group - a place to chat, trade pics and videos, forums and news.

And with New Years (Happy New Year BTW) around the corner, we launched Bear Fitness a place to meet other bears, find work out partners, chat with bear trainers questions and get fitness, health and nutrition tips.

We've also partnered with Chaps II to present Bears in Gear benefiting the Bears of San Francisco. IBR is in 41 days.

Lastly, for all you techy geek bears - you can follow all of our furry adventures on Twitter - SFBRawnyBear

And don't forget to check Bear Bones next week for the results of the 2008 Best of the Bears voting. See, I told you we were busy . . .

Qaherabear I love masculine men, naturally strong, as powerful as tender. I am very sensible to the beauty of things, places and people, specially to the men who are proud of their fur.

 Bear Fitness in 2009
 

Bear Fitness As we wind down 2008, we begin to look forward to 2009. This is the time of year when we all feel a little pudgier and the holiday goodies seem to catching up to us. So, we thought we'd launch Bear Fitness - a free group to share tips, find a workout buddy or simply seek support for a healthier, fuzzy you!

This isn't about diets; it's about being healthier in 2009.

100 Percent Beef Congratulations on 40 great issues!

100% BEEF Magazine, the successor to the masculine-identified publishing legacy established by the now-defunct Original "Bear" Magazine has just released it's 40th Edition. To mark this occasion, and signal the magazine's exciting forward momentum, 100% BEEF has converted to a full-color format! The tag measures 1 1/4 inch long by 3/4 inch wide with a 1/2 inch ring on the top.

100% BEEF Magazine, a 64 page bi-monthly magazine for Adult readers, focuses on the identities and lifestyles of adult, masculine-identified men and "bears". It was launched in May, 2002 by a group of friends after their swift departure from the hugely popular, but poorly managed and now-defunct Original Bear Magazine. Excited to continue the publishing legacy, but also eager to broaden the definitions and masculine sexual identities which the Original Bear Magazine helped to popularize, co-publishers Scott McGillivray and Larry Woolwine forged a publishing alliance titled after the homoerotic term "beefcake".

Warning - the pages get sticky!
