A funeral note...
Hmmmmm: Is first lady Michelle Obama, who has yet to release her public schedule for Friday, hoping to attend the funeral that day for slain teen Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed Jan. 29 at a North Kenwood playground? .
◆Sneed hears rumbles Obama, mother of daughters Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14, has been in discussions about a possible visit to pay respects to the 15-year-old, but nothing is official or confirmed.
Stay tuned.
The power outage ...
Flip & switch: Pennsylvania-based company SMG, which manages the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans — where an almost 33-minute power outage hit the third quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl — also manages Soldier Field.
◆Translation: The company, which provides facilities management, is currently bidding to maintain a contract for Soldier Field.
◆Sneed is told a decision on the new contract for the firm, which is worth at least $320,000 a year, is set to be voted on at the next Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners' meeting on Feb. 13.
◆Thus far, the blame game for the Super Bowl blackout has not centered on SMG — but is focused on energy supplied by the local power company, Entergy New Orleans.
Royal notes...
The king's the thing: The discovery of the centuries-old skeletal remains of England's King Richard III will not only result in a royal reburial British pomp and circumstance style, but how much you want to bet the name "Richard" will become a favorite amongst Brit punters taking bets on the name of Kate Middleton's bun in the oven — should it be a boy?
The Hillary file...
◆Incoming: New Secretary of State John Kerry must have thought long and hard before he jokingly made that comment about his predecessors Hillary Clinton, MadeleineAlbright and Condoleezza Rice, saying: "I have big heels to fill..." I know he meant well, but I'm getting awfully tired of comments that sound sexist to me.
◆Outgoing: Hillary Clinton did not accompany her hubby, former President Bill Clinton, to the funeral service Friday for former New York Mayor Ed Koch, where he delivered a eulogy. Clinton reportedly told former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, "[The] most important thing is Hillary's better."
A music note...
A recipe for a relationship? Brit actress Keira Knightley, who is engaged to the Klaxons' keyboardist James Righton, tells Marie Claire magazine she isn't all that into music. There ya go.
AmBush him...
Former President George H.W. Bush, who had been languishing in a hospital for months until his recent release due to bronchial problems, is apparently doing well. He went out to dinner this past weekend.
Ram 'em...
A random note and observation: It was wonderful to hear late radio legend Paul Harvey's voice again in the uber-Super Bowl commercial for a Dodge Ram truck, which didn't have to be ridiculous and over the top to be spectacular.
◆Backstory: I grew up listening to Paul Harvey's voice when I was a teenager being driven home during lunchtime by our neighbor, a high school coach. He always had his car radio tuned into Harvey's daily report. It eventually became a wow moment for me when I wound up being mentioned on his show years later.
I spy...
NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman stopped by N9NE Steakhouse Thursday for dinner and an evening out with long time pal, N9NE General Manager Tim Griffin. Rodman is in town for a signing of his new children's book, "Dennis The Wild Bull"... and Jay-Z and Beyonce reportedly went to the Baltimore Ravens' postgame party after the team won the Super Bowl.
Tuesday's birthdays: Bobby Brown, 44; Hank Aaron, 79; and Cristiano Ronaldo, 28.

She was born Sept. 13, 1930, to the late Horace Greely Haun Sr. and Grace Gardner Haun of Tellico Plains, Monroe County.
She attended Tellico Plains High School, graduating as valedictorian, and continued her studies at Tennessee Wesleyan College, where she again graduated with the highest marks in her class.
She was a member of Westwood Baptist Church and taught mainly English literature for many years, first at Bradley Central High School, before moving to Cleveland High School when it opened in 1967.
She was an avid and dedicated teacher who provided a positive influence on the lives of many students. She did not seek accolades but did seek to serve others. Moreover, she was a faithful and loving wife, mother and grandmother, as well as being a devout Christian.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ennis E. Norman; three sisters: Opal Tallent, Hazel Clark and Lillian Wilson; two brothers, Horace Jr. and Glen; and a nephew, Steve Haun.
She is survived by a son, W. Keith Norman and wife, Gilda, and grandchildren, Madeleine and George, all of England; two sisters-in-law: Nova Lee Haun of Valrico, Fla., and Marie Sutton of Lexington, Ky.; 10 nephews: Glen Allen Haun and wife, Christine, of Seffner, Fla., Mike Haun and wife, Vickie, of Alexis, N.C., Hal Tallent and wife, Dale, of Alcoa, Harold Wilson and wife, Diane, of Tellico Plains, Charles Wilson of Schereville, Ind., Larry Clark and wife, Patricia, of Burke County, N.C., Ray Norman of Cleveland, Gary Goodwin of Connecticut, Jeffrey Ward of Virginia and Eric Sutton of Lexington, Ky.; nine nieces: Betty Tallent Perkins of Alcoa, Judy Haun Fowler and husband, Larry, of North Carolina, Carol Wilson Moses and husband, Larry, of Knoxville, Diane Wilson Wall and husband, B.J., of Tellico Plains, Linda Wilson Ellis and husband, Jerry, of Tellico Plains, Jean Cochran of Cleveland, Linda Parks and husband, Johnny, of Jonesborough, Lisa Ward of Virginia and Jennifer Sutton-Joanisse and husband, Marc, of London, Ontario; and numerous grand-nephews and nieces.
Her family expresses its appreciation to the many friends, neighbors and caregivers who provided such warm and heartfelt assistance and support to Jena during her later years, with a special mention to Kay and Dave Cummings, Myra Vaughan, Betty Hobby, Rose Lyle and Liz Massey.
The funeral will be conducted on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014, at 1 p.m. in the chapel of Ralph Buckner Funeral Home with the Rev. Jimmy Caywood officiating.
Interment will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens with Larry Moses, B.J. Wall, Hal Tallent, Larry Clark, Lawrence Gentry, Tim Riggs and Charles Smith serving as pallbearers.
Her family will receive friends from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, at the funeral home prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association's Jena H. Norman Memorial Fund on the association website or by calling their toll-free helpline at 1-800-272-3900. Alternatively, the family requests that memorials in the name of Jena either be made to Westwood Baptist Church in Cleveland to be used for missions or to Clemson University, Clemson, S.C., to be used for scholarships.
We invite you to send a message of condolence and view the Norman family guestbook at www.ralphbuckner.com.

Midwinter Ice Fishing
Posted: 01/29/2013
A return to the deep freeze should send a lot of anglers to the ice this week. And they should be conscious of changing ice conditions. Mild temperatures and rain have pounded away at what had been a pretty solid sheet of ice on lakes and backwaters. The deterioration is more apparent across the southern half of the state; with slow current winding through old stream beds.
To the north, many ice anglers barely left their posts. Temperatures have been colder—longer. Ice came earlier and thicker. Ahead of the thaw late this month, reports on Clear Lake ranged from ten to 18 inches thick. That was thick enough for small towns to form there and on some of the bigger waters through the state.
Just don't call them 'ice shacks.' A lot of the shelters dotting the ice on Iowa's big lakes could pull into a summer campground…except for the holes in the floor.
"They're really equipped with all the comforts of home," admires DNR fisheries biologist Scott Grummer. "You see people fishing, as comfortable as you sitting in your easy chair in the living room, watching TV."
Grummer pointed out some, as we headed across the ice. Some were built with more traditional wooden walls. Others—trailers--were towed out to the angler's favorite spot. The wheels were cranked out and up…dropping the structure onto the ice. These 'permanent' shelters stay here, with the owner's name and hometown, until weak ice threatens…or February 20, whichever comes first.
We walked past the one with the TV antenna. Nobody home. Dave Orr answered our knock at his door, though. His wall-mounted propane panel heater was a welcome feature, after a windy walk across the ice. Small windows let him know when it is dark. Coat hooks, wooden stools, a shelf and fishing gear fill the interior. There was no custom cabinetry, satellite TV or other perks, featured in some of the photos Grummer showed me earlier. This one was built for fishing.
And it did the job.
"I found a little deeper water this year. I'm having pretty good luck; every time I've been out, I have caught fish," reported Orr, of Clear Lake. As he spoke, he pulled up a small yellow perch that had just chomped on his minnow.
"From this size up to ten inches; crappies ranging from seven, up to 12½ inches; yellow bass (up to) ten inches." He and fishing partner Brad Boldt caught five fish in the 20 minutes we spent looking over their shoulders.
"There seems to be a lot of crappies in here. I'm real happy with that population," said Orr.
One reason is the recently concluded dredging, deepening this area of west Clear Lake.
"They are getting a lot more crappies now," agreed Grummer. "We have a couple strong year classes entering that 'angler acceptable' size. On a lot of days, anglers catch more crappies on the lake than yellow bass. You wouldn't have heard that five or ten years ago."
As always, it depends on where you go. And when. Grummer did note that low light--near dawn and dusk--is often more crappie friendly. Beyond that, smaller baits and spring bobbers can help clue you in, when one of those slow-moving fish makes a subtle late winter move.
And as we head deeper into winter, it's even more important to know your ice. In east central Iowa, ice thickness on Lake Macbride ranged from zero to nine inches…with most areas six to eight…before a Tuesday morning thunderstorm washed warm rain over the ice and the surrounding watershed.
"It can be treacherous; ice fishermen should be very careful," urges Macbride-based DNR fisheries biologist Paul Sleeper. "Probe ahead as you go out. Make sure you know where you are going."
He notes that most open areas tend to be near south facing banks, which get more sun.
Wind blowing across any open water slows new ice from forming. On many of Iowa's artificial lakes…built by damming streams through the area…old creek channels still direct slow moving water through the lake bed, sometimes eroding ice from the bottom up. Rocks and mud in shallows and along shorelines absorb sunlight and reflect heat, eating away at the near-shore ice.

There is merit to this statement, "but" it has more to do with using the SWiM-16, than with a SWiM LNB.We've found that MRV problems due to low signal levels in the connected home (550MHz) range are very hard to diagnose and so it's best to avoid over-splitting if possible.
A 2-way has about 8 dB of loss for the DECA signal and the 8-way has about 14 dB, so about half of the loss for DECA would be through these two splitters. DECA being in the 550 MHz range, means the coax loss isn't as great as the SAT/SWiM signal loss is.
When you're using a SWiM-16, where there is the added loss of the crossover of the -16 plus the loss of the splitter on each of the -16's outputs, using a splitter "downstream" of the main splitter can easily cause too much loss for the DECA signal between the DECAs that are the farthest away from each other.

Project Description
The HPRC's newest core research project, Out of School Nutrition and Physical Activity Initiative (OSNAP), works with out of school time (OST) programs in Massachusetts and Maine to improve nutrition- and physical activity-related practices, environments, and policies.
From 2009-2014, OSNAP will promote actions to help partner sites achieve the following goals: 1) include 30 minutes of moderate, fun, physical activity for every child every day; offer 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity three times per week; 2) ban sugar-sweetened drinks from being served or brought to program; 3) offer water as a beverage at snack every day; 4) eliminate use of commercial broadcast TV/movies; limit recreational computer time to less than one hour per day; 5) offer a fruit or vegetable option every day; and 6) ban foods with trans fats.
With our community partners, OSNAP will identify and support sustainable policy and environmental strategies that promote increased access to healthy snacks and opportunities for physical activity that can be used in a variety of OST settings.
Researchers are examining students' physical activity levels and snack and beverage intake through accelerometer wear, examination of plate waste, on-site observations, and policy analysis at baseline and at the end of the school year. These results will be broadly disseminated throughout Massachusetts and Maine. Researchers will develop tools that afterschool programs can use to introduce healthy snacks and drinks and encourage physical activity in their programs.
Visit our interactive website, www.osnap.org, which will help guide afterschool program staff and organizational leaders through the process of improving out of school time program practices and policies related to healthy foods, drinks, and physical activity.
Principal Investigator: Steven Gortmaker
Funder: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Funding Dates: 2009 – 2014

The best places where standup comedy is in demand are the bars and clubs where people congregate after work to unwind and relax. When the comedian is able to connect with the audience, the people will keep coming back for more and business will be good for the establishment and for you. It is highly rewarding financially and psychologically and that is why many people consider being a comedian as a career or on as an extra source of income. Oftentimes, young people who are in between job try their skills in comedy and eventually consider making a permanent career out of it.
Schools are often the first place where comedians are discovered. It may be out of sheer luck or out of curiosity when students who join acting clubs turns out to be good comedian at the same time. That is because comedy requires acting skills and when a person hits on the right blend of acting and comedy, he or she becomes a favorite for school programs and events and get discovered from there. While young people turn to comedy mostly as a lark, others do have extraordinary talents and is quickly spotted by the school officials and acting managers looking for fresh bloods.
Comedians and audiences in bars and clubs are often made up of young people with different experiences and views. In this type of crowd, the favorite types of jokes and comedy lines are often those that appeal to young minds. Actors, basketball icons, football players, golfers, athletes with extraordinary lifestyles and their blunders are the common topic of the jokes and the audience can easily relate with the person being parodied because they are a big fan of sports and movies. Even products, brands and advertising campaigns can bear the brunt of a comedians might. A case in point is the recent advertising campaign for No No Hair Removal which you may or maybe have seen. This involves an Asian chef and has been parodied for it's treatment of race. You can read more about this in these no no hair removal reviews which explain more about this situation, what people are saying the fallout which has resulted. Sometimes, the comedian has not even delivered the punch line and already, everyone is breaking into a guffaw because they know what the comedian is going to say next.
Private parties such as corporate social events often hire a comedian to be part of the entertainment show. It is a time for top level executives and low level management staff to socialize with each other and have a few laughs. In annual corporate events or during Christmas parties, companies hire top caliber comedians to entertain the guests and the employees to break the ice and give everyone a good time. Singing, dancing and jokes are the best ingredients of any events like this and the bosses often take the punch in the joke good naturedly as part of the entertainment.
There are many places where comedy is highly in demand. It is a fun and entertaining activity and is very popular with any audience. If the performance is successful, it will leave an impact on the audience and they will always be looking forward to seeing you perform in another show or venue. In many places where there are social events, comedians are often hired especially when their kind of comedy is suited to the crowd in attendance. Even in a small locality, doing comedy can be a good source of income and a respectable career choice.

Every time the telecommunication industry takes another step forward, the world continues to get smaller. Cell phones have become much more than communication devices and most of us would have a very difficult time getting through a typical work day without our go-to devices on hand. This sentiment is especially true for those who travel frequently for work, and with an International cell phone your next business trip can be much more productive, affordable and enjoyable.
Your cell phone keeps you connected to fellow co-workers and clients through talk, text and emails, and serves as your lifeline to family and friends back home. Furthermore, they have become mobile offices that store your files, allow you to read and send emails and help you on your daily adventures. Thanks to GPS systems and a huge number of applications, having a smartphone in a foreign country can save you more than just time and you never know when having one will save your trip. They allow you to communicate in foreign languages and ensure that you don't get lost. However, your home based cell phone is tied to your local network, and if you think about using it on a foreign network while overseas, then get ready for a hefty phone bill that may rival the cost of your plane ticket!
To start off, you need to pick the International cell phone that meets your destination requirements and has the features you want. Certain models will offer you text and talk options only, while others offer the full gamut of talk, email, text and data capabilities. Simply pick the International cell phone that suits your needs along with the required Brightroam SIM card (which can be installed by our technicians) and you are ready to save while staying in touch!
Long gone are the days of extraneous calling cards and long pin numbers. Once your International cell phone is set up and ready to go, the last choice you need to make is between our unbeatable International communication plans. When you combine the latest International smartphones on the market with our SIM cards, simply choose your talk, text and data package and you won't have to worry about any telecommunication issues on your next trip.
Here at Brightroam it's our goal to get you the cheapest local rates anywhere in the world while providing you with crystal clear reception and problem free connections to the Internet. The evolution of cell phones continues to this day, and Brightroam continues to bring you the best selection of International cell phones on the market!
Your carrier will not forward your calls to an international number, but we will. We provide a North American number which forwards to the international number on your international Brightroam SIM card.
To forward all your calls: Simply forward your cell phone to the North American number we provide.
To forward some calls: Give the North American number to the people you want to call you toll free. Give your International Brightroam number to everyone else.
$2 per month + .69 per min plus incoming rate.
To order, add SIM card to your cart, then select call forwarding.
Many Brightroam customers have kept the same SIM card for years. You can extend your activation period after adding the SIM to your cart. Or you can extend it at any time by logging into your account.
iPads and iPhone 4, 4S and 5 require a smaller SIM card.
To order, add to cart, then select "Yes" beside MicroSIM. We'll ship you a SIM card that fits your Apple device.
With $15 standard shipping your order will arrive in 5 to 7 business days. 2 business day shipping is $25. Next business day shipping is $30. You can select how quickly you'd like to receive your order when you checkout.
Brightroam data plans are perfect for smartphones and tablets: iPhones, iPads, Android devices, PC data sticks and MiFi devices.
To order, add a SIM card to your CART. Then select the best data plan for you. Please see the data tab - or data plan web pages - for more details.
Find a lower price on a comparable SIM card and we will match it, plus give you a $5 account credit (which you can use for $5 of FREE talk, text or data.)
After adding the SIM card to your cart, you will have the option of ordering a reliable travel phone. Our most affordable model is great for talk and text. We also offer a talk/text/email model and an Android smart phone.

I think he's growing into a pretty cute guy.

I think he's growing into a pretty cute guy.
he is the baby brother
bring on the pics!!!
Aaaaaand here we go.....!!
Okay. Yes, Nick is a handsome guy, but JOE RULES in the sexiness department!!!!
Anyway, I certainly wouldn't kick sweet little Nick out of bed!!
"Everyone wants to be adored."
Oh cool.
He is now of legal age to fuck. --- Which he won't be doing because he believes it's a sin.
But at some point it won't be a sin for him. --- That being when he gets married, of course.
And regardless of what Nick's sexual orientation actually is --- That marriage is going to be to a woman, no matter what.
Because to the Evangelical Jonas family, homosexuality is not an option.
Not just in the sense that it's something their religion frowns upon it.
But that they hold the literal belief that homosexuality is sin of such magnitude that not only WILL homosexuals be sent to burn in hell if they don't reform, most-if-not-many Evangelicals feel homosexuals SHOULD be sent to an eternity of pain and suffering when they die.
The Jonas 3 not only follow along with these bigoted beliefs; they outright promote them as a central part of their act.
Prettied up and less threatening, of course. You know, purity rings and all that shit.
But hey, let's just forget about all that gawk at how cute Nick is now that he's 18 and plaster pics of him all over the boards to drool over.
I mean, who cares that that he's one of the biggest stars of a culture that considers us inferiors, perverts, and worthy of having a good life either !!
^Thank hell for you.
illgetbi, you have a very narrow view of Christians. Not ALL of them believe homosexuality is a sin, I know plenty who don't. I know plenty of Christians who go to church and teach youth groups and still love me, a gay man, for who I am. And not in a "I love you for your DECISION but it's unfortunate you're going to hell. I wish you could be saved." Sort of a way, but in a "I am a Christian and I follow Christ but I DON'T believe that you are going to hell for being gay, and I think it's stupid for anyone to think so." You're just as much of a bigot for believing that all Christians believe in the exact same thing as someone who thinks homosexuality is a sin. You're not doing any of us a favor.
You also derailed the point of this topic in the FIRST POST!!! BRING ON THE NICK JONAS.
i didn't know all that about Jonas brother, i was never a huge fan or something and a have watched a few interviews of them and i doubt i've ever heard their song, i could tell though that they had a role to play, pretend being innocent but talented boys, really close together who suddenly became huge, that's why they were wearing the purity rings etc... to tell you the truth i really liked Joe i think he is a hot guy but since they believe homosexuality is a sin i don't think i care about them anymore... Joe might be hot but this is a turnoff... And i think the whole thing is sooo fake i am sure they had to have a lot of sex with guys to get where they are now! They are not that talented anyway, they are something Disney created to make money like Hannah Montana
I am a Cristian too, i don't believe homosexuality is a sin, i think it's something natural that's just how i am i can't change it. And God created this as he has created everything so it can't be something wrong cause He doesn't make mistakes
He talked about Nick Jonas. How is that a derailment?
Besides, YOU didn't "bring on the Jonas", so you're just as guilty.
I'm just laughing at all these "he's 18 now so i can proclaim my lust for him!" posts that keep popping up on here. Creepy, but they make ME chuckle, so all is well.
I didn't say Christians. I said Evangelicals. A specific type of Christians. Go back and read again please.
I had the third post, not the first. Or did you mean to say "page?" And as EP noted, it was not a derailment.
When threads are started featuring celebrities with unfavorable/unfriendly views of the GLBT community, you bet your ass I will do nothing but attack the motherfuckers as they rightfully deserve to be attacked.
If you think the Jonas Brothers are just entertainers singing happy pop songs, you're dead fucking wrong. There's a whole organization of people behind them using the act and the three boys' wholesomeness to push a very specific set of extremely conservative religious values.
Values that do not include or welcome homosexuals.
The boys are old enough to be aware of this. So FUCK THEM.
I think you meant this sentence to apply to your post.
After all, one reading your argument could get the impression that Christians have horrific reading comprehension, are unable to count basic numbers, and are blatantly horny for the days their youth turn the magical age of 18.
Very well done.
But Nick is ugly.
Look at his teeth.
I want to slide my dick in Nick's plump bubble butt
There! I finally said it
idk, he JUST turned 18.... he's still a child. i feel like some of the guys here should've been on To catch a predator.... i'm mainly talking about older guys, if you're 18 it's kinda understandable you'd like him.
Apart from this being a bit creepy - don't start the party too early. Any pics shot before his 18th birthday are still not allowed.
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
Oh jeez, where are my manners? I forgot to give Nick his birthday cake!
I'm not a fan of Nick, but I know if I had five minutes alone with Joe--he'd forget all that purity ring shit and throw the rest of his beliefs out the window.
Five minutes...I swear that's all I need.
if you don't like the guy- why come to this thread and waste your time typing a rant and our time skipping over them.....his publicist has to know there's a demand for 18+ pics- I'm sure a whole series will be out soon- over at Famousmales, they've been running shirtless shots/etc for the past 2 years....
Nick's surely a hot guy. One thing I will say about him and his religion though and I don't remember where I heard it is that if there's any Jonas who will rebel against the family and their religious/moral values; sex, drinking, etc. it's Nick. Joe would be number two and Kevin would never because he actually believes that crap.
Anyway just what I heard; hope it's true.
New Pictures of Nick today.
This is not an exit
^Could the pics be anymore boring zzzzzZZZZZZZ
Is it likely that they share the views of their church? Yes. But despite their religious affiliation, I've never heard of Nick or his brothers making any anti-gay comments or supporting any specifically anti-gay causes, so I'm not going to make assumptions about them.
My best friend is a hardcore Conservative Christian who has absolutely no problem with my homosexuality. Does he think homosexual acts are sinful? Yeah, he does. But in his own words,
"Dude, I sin every day. So does my Pastor. So does the freakin' Pope. It's called being human. If everyone who sinned went to Hell, Heaven would be a lonely place. There's no line separating homosexuality from any other sin."
Now he does think I'm going to hell for not being a Christian, but that's another matter entirely. The point is that people don't necessarily espouse every single belief held by their church. And until the Jonai give me ample cause not to, I'm going to think the best of them.
Oh and happy birthday to Nick, whom I can now say is the hottest of the three.
Things are getting a little tense out in the streets...
Almost 6900 posts in less than half a year? YOU are the one who needs a reason to live.
Why so upset that the Jonas' clan might be anti-gay? You're not gay.
How many of your 6900 posts were shitting on others' threads? Half?
*Would insert standard insult reply here to the insult given, but simply don't care enough to waste the effort and would feel odd attacking someone I have difficulty accepting is at least 18, much less 12 or 13.*
Do you really think the Christian Evangelical community sees one bit of difference between a gay man and a bisexual man? I can assure you they don't.
If you were to have bothered doing any inquiry into that yourself, you would find that I am combative/aggressive in only a remarkably tiny fraction of all the threads I've participated in since I joined. I have no interest in coming onto JUB to get riled up and into fights.
But hey, when I see a thread that really causes me to need to get something off my chest, I'm just going to rip in. If it leaves certain people insulted, GOOD. Maybe I at least shook their head and got them a little aware of something.
So...Jonas Brothers. On a music forum, a Disney forum, places like those...I'd never go in looking to start trouble. It's not the nature of what those forums are meant to discuss.
But people, JUB is a "Gay Community Forum" (graciously welcoming to all genders and orientations). Yes, the thread is a "Nick Jonas" thread, BUT IT'S IN A GAY FORUM.
You have the right to drool over your favorite celebrities while staying ignorant and not knowing a goddamn thing about what they believe, and how that could impact your fellow gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, be it now or later on down the road.
And I have the right to break up a party of utterly blind shallowness and express my opinion of how pathetically easy many of you are having the wool pulled over your eyes.
Gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders are all exactly alike. As defined by our enemies, those who look at us with disdain, want us marginalized, quieted, hidden, and ultimately gone. We will continue to improve banding together as one community because we HAVE to. And part of that process is WAKING EACH OTHER THE FUCK UP.
The Evangelical Community is not our friend. They are among our worst enemies. The Jonas Brothers are a massive tool of theirs. Huge amounts of money are pulled in, sexually conservative cultural values are pushed out. And the definition of marriage stands front and center in all this. The Jonas Brothers do their part of the larger plan. They may seem like relatively reasonable kids right now - but just wait 10-15 years. The shift will be harsh.
Insulted by my take on the Jonas Brothers? Tough fucking shit. If you're a paying fan of theirs, then you're a fucking insult to the human race, turning over your hard-earned cash to a religious community that has a focused and aggressive agenda against us.
So there you have it. That's what you'll get from me now and then. I don't have much faith in the bulk of my generation's gay's, bi's, lesbian's and transgenders (those of us 18-35). For all the compassion we have, for all the intelligence we have...we someone manage to simultaneously be shockingly blind and disgustingly shallow. But you have no idea how much I things to improve so I can finally have that faith and confidence.
There are, as have always been, a strong portion of us who 'get' most things, who strive to be aware, look new directions, try new things, LEARN, advance. And there are the morons. Feel good, be happy, look hot. Embrace your bubble and don't bother looking outside it.
Well, on this forum we have plenty who are aware and trying (quietly, sometimes) and we have plenty of morons...whose numbers are growing.
Sorry, but insults need to be had. Morons need to wake up. Get with it. Peace.
i dont take too kindly to being called a moron
just because i happen to find someone who may have homophobic beliefs sexually attractive
regardless of how the Jonas Brothers feel about my sexuality...i still have every right to find them hot if i want
so i dont see how me or anyone else who finds them hot need to "get with it", when there is nothing to get with.
basically your trying to suggest that the entire LGBT community should be forbidden from finding someone who doesnt agree with our lifestyle attracitive
Layla Love always.
Cena please sit on my face right now.
R.I.P Jetski my amazing angel. Could never have had a better dog!
I wouldn't expect you to.
You only think it out far enough to validate your own self-justification. You've created parameters in which it is easy for you not to be bothered by their believes, or even have any interest in actually finding out what the are, how many other people share them, and how that could/will affect you one day.
You are only concerned about your own arc - each day you absorb the things you like, block out things you hear that might hamper your enjoyment/respect of them, and only look into things that are affecting you on an immediate basis. Then you go to sleep and wait for the next day of You to begin.
If that sounds to you like I'm saying you appear to be self-centered and vapid...well, you'd be quite correct. Take heart, though, it's the way most people have been trending for some time.
And if you're pissed and think I'm an asshole for calling you out like that, at least acknowledge the fact that our brief exchange pulled you out of your own head for a few moments, and any anger you felt/feel toward me may have got some blood pumping for a few minutes - always good to get the blood pumping several times a day, though obviously walks are more preferable to rage.
NO. Your reading could not be any more incorrect. I'm saying we shouldn't SUPPORT those who are actively against the lifestyles we lead. I'm saying we shouldn't IDOLIZE someone's good looks to the point that we stop observing what they believe, and are blind to actions they may be taking against us as a result of their believes.
So admire anyone's good looks that you want to, but learn who they are. Make sure they're not the goddamned enemy is all I'm saying! And especially don't funnel money their way.
We are all second-class citizens. There are rights we do not have that straights do. Straights that vote for our full equal legal rights are our allies in this battle. Straights that vote against us having full equal legal rights are our enemies. And it's pretty damn easy to find out who's who.
Grow a spine and treat enemies like enemies until this is all over and sanctioned sexual discrimination ends. People will continue to hate, but at least not have any of the law on their side any more.
So recognize the talent, say, that the Jonas brothers have with their moderately good looks and mostly rip-off musical stylings...but don't become part of a fan empire in which the majority of the other fans want to keep you down!
And for fuck's sake, keep the money away from them too! Twilight Fans! 10 percent of the money you spend on ANYTHING twilight goes directly to the Mormon Church. Who tried to get it written into law in my state that gays cannot marry. And it was the money that almost pulled it off.

Nick is by far the cutest of the 3 brothers.
You're the LAST person that needs to be trying to look down on somebody - i mean, how many of your 3100+ posts were spent trying to "check" people and start little mini wars in YOUR thread? In fact, didn't your thread get locked for your shenanigans, only for you to try and restart them once it got re-opened?
I'm just laughing at all these "he's 18 now so i can proclaim my lust for him!" posts that keep popping up on here. Creepy, but they make ME chuckle, so all is well.[/QUOTE]
I can see how it may seem a bit creepy, but I have no shame in saying that I am totally hot for Nick. I've had many fantasies (all of them occurring since this morning, of course) of Nick putting my legs on his shoulders and fucking me with his hairy cock. I can just imagine the cute faces he makes as he shoots his load in my butt.
illgetbi, like I said, I will never say another positive word about them if they, and not their church, give me a reason to. Until then, I will not make assumptions about them. That isn't fair, it isn't right and it certainly doesn't make me "a moron."
Don't believe me? Take a look at the Jeremy Roloff thread. Physically, I think he's gorgeous. But his personality is absolutely hideous and that is what I focus on.
if they class what we do as wrong...aka feel we are an enemy...and youve just stated we shouldnt idolize pysichally the "enemy" aka them...what makes you any better!
your crusade against ppl who find our lifstyle wrong...is just as bad as their crusade for thinking our lifesyle is wrong
Layla Love always.
Cena please sit on my face right now.
R.I.P Jetski my amazing angel. Could never have had a better dog!
i was waiting for this day !
So I guess no one is going to say shit about his chronic littering? Who cares about his support of our community when this young man shows blatant disrespect to our home. While you're enjoying his boyish charm he's busy raping the world.
If I ever got an erection because of Nick Jonas I'd cut it off and give it to Mother Gaia in an act of contrition that would knowingly still leave me in her debt.
How about we refrain from further comments on religion, and concentrate on Nick's hotness? I've read fanfics where the brothers, once alone, bewail being forced to wear their purity rings, and go at it with each other like bunnies. There, that's much better, isn't it.
your crusade against ppl who find our lifstyle wrong...is just as bad as their crusade for thinking our lifesyle is wrong
lifestyle.... being gay is a lifestyle....
Please do not apologize for your opinion.
DAMN!! He is so hot!!!
jeez illgetbi....why not start a 'I hate Nick' thread and vent there- instead of wasting space and time on one where people actually like the kid? Clearly something brings you back here every few hours....hidden lust....me thinks thou doth protest too much
Lol, the title of this thread isn't "I love Nick Jonas" or "Nick Jonas is hot" or anything like that. It's "Nick Jonas is 18!!!" and the OP didn't establish where he wanted the conversation to go, he just wanted pics. So I'm not crashing anyone's party.
Oh yes, something is bringing me back here.
I'm learning what a lot of you really think, watching you reveal yourselves to the whole board...
like we all have your number....on your other thread- telling who's gay/etc....someone posted something on Facebook and you posted you were hunting them down....why not just send a private message through Facebook- all you have to do is click on their name or search their name...of course, your name would appear on the message- you asked the poster to 'man up'...guess your not prepared to do that yourself...I'm sure it's someone you harrassed/annoyed/belittled....get over yourself!
That person created a fake account to post false information, implicating me, on someone's facebook page. His account, as well as the comments he posted, have since been removed. I have strong reason to believe he is someone on these boards, hence me challenging him to man up and duke it out on my thread. I'm still hoping he has the balls to do so.
Jeez, way to take this thread off-topic!
Oh, by the way, I've been wondering...is your avatar supposed to be ironic?
If you're so concerned about gay rights, do you not care about anything I've said in this thread? Do you not even partially agree with some of the opinions I laid out?
All it seems you're interested in is telling me to shut up about my thoughts on GLBT equality and things we can do to improve it.
I was a member of Act Up in the 80's- I was arrested in NYC 3 times- Gracie Mansion, City Hall and at a Publuic Healthcare facility, fighting foer AIDS funding- DON'T EVER question my work for the gay community! I don't bother reading most of your rants, because they are boring and self involved beyond belief....as I've said on other threads- I never blamed teenagers for their beliefs- that's parental influence- if he's spouting crap at 25, I'll take issue with him then!
PS-- I saw the message you're referring to on Matthew Morrison's Facebook (since he was the only MM on the list), curious to see how the guy nailed you after the above....- it was still up- just hit the older posts tab....then send him a private message- if you're man enough...
sorry to the others for going off and distrupting ther thread...

I am so so so sick of soldering headphone cables. Is there any solution out there (DIY or commercial) that would make my headphone cable indestructible. Are there any headphones that anyone can recommend that have an indestructible cable? I have broken the cable on almost every pair of headphones I have ever owned.
Edit: The headphones that get abused are not studio headphones. These are headphones that are for personal use (often break in pockets) and for performance (stupid things happen like people tripping on cables). It hurts my soul to abuse headphones which is why I solder them back together to keep them alive, but once they've been soldered, their fate is sealed. It is only a matter of time before you are soldering them all the time and they become unusable. Maybe I'm buying the wrong headphones. What are the solutions that others have found for indestructible headphones?

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.After over a month wait, I received the Momeni New Wave 06 Black 5'3 x 8' rug damaged with multiple spots. Rug was promised to be picked up last week, and was not. Also I was told once rug was picked up, another one would be sent: this remains to be seen. Im giving this rating a 'middle of the road' rating....as this should be a good product and this rug I received may not be a representation of Momeni's quality or Rug Sale's service. I will follow up this review with another one shortly once this issue is resolved.
The rug is luxurious and still looks lovely after being washed.
Really loved the plush feel of this rug. Nice contempo design .
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.
