How a special election for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s open seat could work

Election officials plan to ask a judge to waive the standard time frame and allow a special election to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. to occur at the same time as already-planned suburban elections.
Cook County Clerk David Orr said he and his counterparts in Chicago, and Will and Kankakee counties — the four areas included in the 2nd Congressional District — want the special election held April 9, along with a primary on Feb. 26. The suburban areas all have elections already scheduled for those dates.
By law, Gov. Pat Quinn has five days to schedule the election, which would have to be held within 115 days of Jackson's resignation Wednesday. That would place the election no later than March 16.
"This election will be carried out in a manner that is fair to the electorate and as economical as possible for taxpayers," Quinn said in a statement Wednesday.
"We know that Congressman Jackson is confronting health challenges, and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this difficult time."
So sometime next week, the clerks will ask a judge to accommodate the existing election dates.
"We do believe the courts will be sympathetic," Orr said. "We know the governor certainly is to the questions of cost."
Orr estimated it would cost the suburban counties more than $1 million to hold two separate elections for the 2nd District.
That's what it'll cost Chicago taxpayers, said Chicago Board of Elections spokesman Jim Allen, since Chicago has no elections scheduled in 2013.
"We're still crunching the numbers, but it is reasonable to expect that we could have approximately $1 million in costs between the special primary and special election," Allen said.
Plus, there already is precedent for moving a special election to coincide with a scheduled one. That's what happened when then-Rep. Rahm Emanuel resigned from the 5th District to become President Barack Obama's chief of staff. Candidates had about two weeks to circulate petitions to get on the ballot, instead of the usual 90 days.
But until an election date is set, no one should yet run for Jackson's seat, Orr said.
"People can always be talking to voters, there's nothing to stop them from that, but at this point I would not encourage petition gathering until we have a better handle on this."
Orr said he and the other clerks have been talking since rumors surfaced of Jackson's troubles. He said he had no advance warning of the resignation of the congressman he's known for many years.
"All I can say is personally it's very sad," Orr said. "I would look to the positive, good years of service that he's had.
"We'll see what happens with all the other quote-allegations," he said.

2009 Maxima Problems
vinnie Posts: 10I haven't had an issue with my front suspension, but my rear suspension creaks and groans in cold weather...the noise us unbearable and embarrassing for a car that's just turned 17 months old with only 10K miles on it...I'll be bringing it in for round 3 tomorrow. I can't take it anymore. Oh and as far as the door jambs go, no, mine are not primer only...I have an '09 in Precision Graphite and all jambs & rockers are painted.....
rouseman Posts: 5I've had my 09 for almost a year and haven't had any of these issues. As far as the type of gas goes, it's recommended that you use a high grade gasoline. Personally I would not put regular gasoline is a "sports car" even if it has 4 doors. I would leave the regular gasoline to pickups and SUVs.
smarty666 Posts: 1,503I think the car is meant for 93 Octane! reason being, I've been putting in Shell Premium since I got my 2010 Max and last week, there was a big brew ha ha at the station with the attendant and another customer and he accidentally put regular in instead of premium and as soon as I pulled out of the station I noticed a incredible difference; the engine idles rough (more shaking in steering wheel, pedals, etc) when I step on the gas the engine sounds like it is struggling and there is a lot of knocking and pinging going on! I'm trying to baby it on the road right now till I get off of this tank and can get it filled with premium again!

smarty666 Posts: 1,503I don't believe their is away to deactivate that safety feature. If you think Nissan/Infiniti's system locks you out, you should see the one in Toyota/Lexus. As soon as the car is in motion, you get locked out of every single feature or things to do. At least with Nissan/Infiniti you can still do about 30-40% of features while the car is in motion, like deleting a destination for instance or looking something up.
Only one I know of that allows unlimited functions while in motion is the Honda/Acura nav system. Not sure about the German makes though. -
spinto56 Posts: 2We have a loaded up 2009 Maxima. Love the car. On 2 occasions tried to get into the car. It was completely dead. No access on the doors, no lights, no radio, no start. Had to jump the car, and started it right away. Took it to dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. They tested the battery and it was fully charged. They suggested if it happens again that I don't jump the battery and have the car towed to dealer. Anybody have this problem?
ljpzap Posts: 3Had the same problem once. Used the spare key in the key fob to get in, but still needed to jump the car. Have no clue what happened and the dealer said no codes registered in the computer so "nothing happened" according to them. I came out of an 2005 Acura TL and will drop the Maxima like a hot potato when the lease is up in 12 months. Other issues with it have tainted me along with the dealer service.
smarty666 Posts: 1,503Definitely something wrong with your Max! My 10 has not done anything like that and it sounds like something with the battery or electrical with the car. If it happens again, I would do as the Nissan stealer recommended and have it towed to the stealer and have them look at it when the car is dead. Then they can't pull the BS on you that they can't find anything wrong when the damn thing is sitting right in front of them dead!
I have had one or two minor things with my Maxima that have not affected my driving experience and fun but I do have to say that Nissan's terribly poor customer service is making really consider getting another one, not the car itself, but the company. -
hitthome Posts: 1I've had the same problem. I've had it happen several times, and now my battery won't hold a charge. I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow. I'll let you know what they say. I have to say that thus far (2 years, 24,000 miles) I have been 100% happy with the dealerships response to my issues. Hopefully this will be the same.
spinto56 Posts: 2We ended up having the car towed per the Dealer request when it happened again instead of jump starting. Turned out to be a bad cell in the battery - not sure why it took multiple trips to diagnose this. Anyway, this was 3 months ago & so far no more problems. Hope your problem is solved as well!

I walked passed her and she was sleeping. People asked her to wake up and she, irritated, told them to leave her alone. Everyone seemed to know her and her pattern. "She'll be fine. She's coming off her high now – crack, cocaine, and alcohol," said one woman. I couldn't help myself so I stopped to ask her if she was alright or needed anything. She rolled her eyes at me and told me to go away.
"Well, so much for good will." I thought to myself and went on about my way. I saw her again the following day but this time she was alert and looked at me. "Can I talk to you?" she asked. I looked around to see who she was talking to. "Me? You want to talk to me?" I asked. "Yeah, they say that you talk to people," she replied. "Hmmm… I do talk to people. Well, I listen more than I talk, but same difference, though." I said to myself. And, this is where the story begins. I will call this woman, Mary.
Mary was an uninteresting looking woman; nothing remarkable about her at all. She was kind of a curmudgeon the other day and I must admit that I was still sore about it. After all, I was concerned and just wanted to see if she was alright. So when I found us a warm place to sit, I told her that she seemed more pleasant today than yesterday. She apologized and explained that she wanted to kill herself by overdosing on crack-cocaine but as fate would intervene, she ran out of drugs. So, as always, she slept if off.
"Why would you want to kill yourself? And, Do you still want to kill yourself?" The first half of the question I asked out of curiosity and the second half to assess whether she was a risk to herself. Hey, I am a social worker all day long. She answered the second question first, "No, I don't want to kill myself anymore. I just get like this sometimes." Then she answered the first question. "There are times when I don't want to be here. I mean, look at me, look at my life."
I didn't know what to make of her statements. As I sat with her for what seemed like hours, something started happening to me and I was unsure of what it was. During our conversation, I learned that she was really smart and loved school – especially science – school was an escape from her everyday world. She imagined being successful and moving far away from home; that was her goal. From the time she was 5 years old, she was molested and abused and had mental health issues since she was 8 years old. Then she hit me with the unexpected – she had several children, all of whom died before they turned two. Some were still born and another died in a car accident by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
For some reason, I asked her about their birthdays and she looked puzzled until she heard herself tell me the dates: they were all born around the same time – now. Mary cried as if she felt the pain of her children's death for the first time; a deep wail full of despair and regret filled the air. And, that's when it happened – I saw her.
At that moment, Mary was not a drug addict or throw away. She was a human being who was a mother, daughter, sister, and scapegoat in terrible pain. Then I looked closer and noticed that she had a wonderful smile and the warmest brown eyes. There was a real person in there. Even now, she still has dreams of being a 'somebody' though she knows the hurdles many and high. She could rattle off numbers and had amazing critical thinking skills. What was more impressive was her strength. I don't know if I could be that strong, like Mary.
As we wrapped up our conversation, I connected her to some resources in her community. After looking at my referrals, she smiled and told me about two more places I had never heard of – go figure. She thanked me for listening and I thanked her for sharing then we parted.
I thought about Mary the rest of the day but that evening, I did something I hadn't done in a LONG time after a conversation like that – I cried. I could have been Mary – we all could have been her and still can. The only thing that makes us different is one unforeseen decision by our parents, family, community…ourselves. As successful individuals – however you define it – it is important to remember that we are only as successful as our circumstances and our ability to cope with them. Our circumstances can change at any moment and if they do, ask yourself, "How many people will see me?" The answer to which is, "It depends on how many people you have seen."
Have you seen someone? Do tell…

Residents of Burlington and West Burlington can drink their tap water again after a boil advisory was lifted early this morning.
The DNR and Burlington Municipal Waterworks lifted the advisory after two sets of water samples taken a day apart tested clean for bacteria.
The advisory was issued Sunday after a water main break caused parts of the system to lose water pressure. Pressure drops can allow bacteria to enter the drinking water.

Family-centered, individualized newborn care is provided by a team of UCLA neonatologists, neonatal-perinatal care fellows, neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, lactation specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, and case managers. Neonatologists provide consultations, as requested by pediatricians, obstetricians, and perinatologists; attend high-risk deliveries; care for premature and critically ill newborns; and follow NICU graduates in the Santa Monica UCLA High-Risk Infant Follow-up Clinic. Patient care in the NICU is additionally enhanced by the availability of pediatric subspecialists from the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA.

About Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson
When he wasn't bashing on a drum kit in local punk rock bands, Ben spent the mid '90s hucking cases of wine around to pay for two English degrees. Now he's the Winnipeg Free Press wine columnist and blogger.
The extent of Ben's wine experience in the mid-90s was memories of accidentally leaving a bottle of White Zinfandel in the freezer overnight, and the ensuing mess he was left with. Between 1996 and 2005 Ben absorbed all he could about wine while working at wine shops to pay for school. Meanwhile, he was churning out papers for his BA and MA in English (from the Universities of Winnipeg and Manitoba, respectively).
Ben became the Winnipeg Free Press' weekly wine columnist in 2005, and two years later joined Wine Access magazine as a contributor, a member of their national tasting panel and a judge at the Canadian Wine Awards and International Value Wine Awards until the magazine closed up shop in 2013.
In 2013 Ben joined the Winnipeg Free Press as a copy/web editor.

The $17,000 grant helps get rid of countywide illegal dumping sites; leading to a movement District 3 Supervisor Preston Billings coined Operation Cleanup Bolivar County.
"Along with the help of County Administrator Will Hooker, we started looking for money in January of 2012," said Billings. "We have visible sites in Bolivar County where illegal dumping has become an eyesore.
"We took pictures of these sites, documented them and sent the information to the MDEQ. We met the prerequisites to get the grant and help the cleanup effort begin."
While details have yet to be finalized, Billings said the county and municipalities will likely partner with local contractors to pick up the trash and transfer larger objects to a landfill in Greenville.
Most of the problem items, including household electronics and trash, computers and burned wood, are not accepted at the county's smaller landfill in Boyle.
The money will also help pay the fees for dumping in Greenville.
"I want this to work well for the municipalities," said Hooker. "There are more illegal dumping sites than I knew about. This grant should help us move on the issue and be more proactive.
"We have established a great relationship with the MDEQ. Our desire is not for this to be a one-time thing. Our plan is to lead with this program and hopefully they will support us again financially."
Billings has already started the effort by networking with church leaders and volunteers in his district by cleaning up every other Saturday.
"I can't get around to each community to clean them up by myself," said Billings. "We need the initiative and direction from our municipal leaders and citizens.
"If we expect more people to move here, we want visitors to see how clean it is. Operation Cleanup Bolivar County is about pride in keeping our property and streets clean. We need to lead by example."
Billings added that support from local church officials makes a noticeable impact.
"When the lay persons see the city and church doing these things, they will follow along," he said. "Everything starts with leadership — the members will follow."
Hooker said plans are underway to determine how the grant will be distributed for transportation, contractor and dumping costs.

I am a stay at home mom of two children, although, both now are in college. I am a retired Occupational Therapist. I received my degree from the Ohio State University and am a huge fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
I have so many cook books that it is hard to pick one as my favorite, but would say I have used the Betty Crocker Cookbook the most since getting married for basic recipes.
I love to cook and try new recipes, but prefer simple and quick recipes. I don't like to cook things that require going to specialized grocery stores. I subscribe to several cooking magazines, that usually, require everyday on-hand ingredients.
I am not very fond of most seafood, but do enjoy lobster, grilled shrimp and chilean sea bass. I won't cook anything with rosemary or curry, as I really don't like either herbs' flavor. And now from trying recipes, I found that I don't like dijon mustard, but love vinegar and mustard, not sure why I don't like the taste of dijon mustard.

I love to cook meatloaf because it is easy and the smell in the house, while it is cooking, is comforting and reminds me of my mother. The thing I am famous for among my family and friends is my homemade Italian dressing, which I copied from watching my mother. Most of my recipes are hard to post because I learned them from my mother and it was never measured. I am going to try measuring, or guess estimate, amounts so I can post some on here!
My favorite restaurant is Carrabba's Italian Grill. I always order the chicken marsala.

Shorewood band delivers symphonic metal with some mystery — and a diva
By Tony Graf email@example.com October 18, 2012 5:52PM
Deanna Whalen (left) sings and Jeff Ashcraft plays bass as they rehearse with their band Maid of Mettle Wednesday, October 10, 2012 in Shorewood, IL. | Brett Roseman~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: November 20, 2012 11:01AM
SHOREWOOD — Maid of Mettle begins the song with a searing guitar and piercing high notes before getting down to the business of a metal band.
A symphonic background — a spacious sound made possible by digital precision — gives a haunting depth to the composition, "Even Though."
Deanna Whalen emerges in the first verse with gently echoing vocals, slowly building in tension until the refrain kicks in, driven by hard guitar, a bass-drum crunch and a bold voice full of urgency.
Whalen, like several other band members, has a classical background. For eight years, she studied bel canto — an Italian style of opera — working with Bronya Dvorak, an opera diva from the Czech Republic.
"She really gave me the key to being able to open up my voice," Whalen said.
Maid of Mettle premiered Tuesday night on "Seven on Ridge," the late-night talk show on Chicagoland TV station WJYS. The Shorewood metal band will perform Dec. 1 at Nite Cap on Irving Park Road in Chicago. The band also has released "Amulet," a five-track CD.
The musicians aim for the stratosphere of symphonic metal, maintaining tight and sophisticated production values, while preserving the emotion of a live show.
The Herald-News visited a recent band rehearsal in Shorewood. Ryan Mack helps create the digital symphonic tracks that back up his guitar riffs. Bassist Jeff Ashcraft is a classical cellist. Jason Jaros balances the strength of his percussion sound with an acute sense of timing, so the digital tracks blend in perfectly. David John works behind the scenes with Deanna's husband, Tim Whalen, to produce a full symphonic sound.
"It's a whole art by itself," Tim said of creating symphonic metal, which is prominent in Europe. "It's really a beautiful genre. Metal, by its nature, is a lot of grinding. But this genre also has got this sense of melody and drama and beauty."
Tension and grace
The band warms up with "Wicked Game," the 1989 classic by Chris Izaak. At the calm beginning, Deanna's voice is a wide seascape at night, echoing with the mystique that made this song famous. The sea turns stormy with the band's metal clash, as Deanna's voice — "No, I ... don't wanna fall in love" — drives on, lone and resolute in the crashing waves. In the final soliloquy, Deanna is on a desolate quay.
"Nobody loves no one."
That line's double meaning — a cynical lament, a desperate confession — is a perfect example of the tension this band creates. Behind the ferocious metal, there is a hidden electricity, understated, ethereal, captivating.
"The concept of symphonic metal is highly skilled musicians who are putting together well-written and -arranged background tracks to basically fill out, and contrast, and enhance the strong guitar and rhythm tracks — drummer and bass," Tim said.
Tim helped found the Chicago Producers Circle in the late 1980s. In this current project, he credits Bernie Pershey of Joliet for his role in putting the tracks together.
'Do You Want Me?'
The rumbling of Ashcraft's bass — along with Mack's crisp lead guitar — begins the song "Do You Want Me?" Deanna and Mack then trade off the lead: confident voice, then thunderous riff. The band transitions seamlessly into the refrain, where the symphonic tracks create a glowing aura of sound.
Jaros' incessant drums and crashing cymbals bring the song to a final peak, leaving only the misty intrigue of the symphonic tracks fading out.
Deanna has lost touch with her diva instructor, and would like to know if anyone reading has contact information.
"I'm desperately trying to get ahold of her. I miss her," she said.
A sense of longing and searching. The diva, shrouded in mystery and just beyond reach. That is the essence of Maid of Mettle.

As far as foods, anything Italian, Starbucks…banana/chocolate chip coffee cake, strawberries, scrabbled eggs with ketchup. WHAT?!?! You don't do that?!?!, carrot cake and Mom's chicken and dumplings, and my husband's breakfast quesadilla. YUM< YUM!!

Bustier Sequin Hi-Lo Dress
Absolutely to die for!!
This dress was very stunning! I worn it to my cousin's wedding and got great reviews on the dress. I buy all of my dresses from Bebe so I wasn't surprise about all the compliments I received on it. Everything was perfect except the bust area was a little to big, I had to keep pulling it up but besides that everything was great.
December 30, 2012
this product is a great dress
this is overall a wonderful dress I plan on wearing it to a ball and I'd love it. I'm 5'11 so this dress fits me perfectly
December 5, 2012
I Love This Dress!!
I can't wait to wear this on NYE!! It does run a little larger in the bust I'm a 38DD and It looks a tad large. The length is perfect to wear heels in I'm 5'9 so the length is definitely true to size! I do however wish the sequins weren't so dull either way it looks stunning!
December 3, 2012
Just okay
"I received this dress today and the jury is still out. First of all, it runs big on top in my opinion. I'd have to have it fitted by a seamstress if I decide to keep it. Bebe clothing just keeps getting bigger and bigger as the years go by. At this rate, they are going to need to start making sizes XXXS and 000's so they don't lose the petite customers who have relied on them for years. Another thing - I'm not crazy about the sequins on top. They are grayish, not black and are dull, not shiny or sparkly at all. The dress is just okay. I'm going to try it on one more time and give it another chance, but I'm pretty sure it's going back."
August 26, 2012
Ordered this dress for a wedding I will be attending in October. Looks gorgeous and cannot wait to dress on the entire outfit. Got the necklace and bracelet model is wearing but thinking a more "fall" shoe for Oct vs pair she has on. Sure I won't be disappointed with Bebe I rarely ever am. Stay tuned!

Comments about LITTLE HOTTIES Overnighter Warmers:
This is a good way to add to your layers when you're outside, but not active. For me, that's photographing cold lacrosse games in early spring and night football in late fall. Walking the sidelines is not enough energy to stay warm.
Not as valuable if you're outside and more active, like shoveling snow.
Best Uses
Comments about LITTLE HOTTIES Overnighter Warmers:
Picked up an "overnighter" package for an overnight hike. Wanted to use the handwarmers in my gloves on day 2 when the temps were in the single digits. Despite repeated shaking, and leaving them in the gloves for 10-15 minutes while we packed up, they barely got warm. An hour and a half into the hike I pulled them out because they weren't worth the added bulk.
They did finally get almost hot after 3-4 hours in the top of my backpack on the ride home.

Great dress but be careful
The dress is so amazing on I was Devistated to find that the material does indeed snag almost immediately. I didn't read the reviews I will from now on!
December 17, 2012
I agree with the other reviewer who said this dress is very flattering. The color blocking by the waist area makes me look even curvier. The material is of high quality and holds you in to hide flaws. I'm 138lbs 5'4" 34-26-42, got the M/L and it fits perfectly. I have thick thighs so the S/M was too tight at the bottom and made it uncomfortable to walk around in. It's a good buy for the price.
December 8, 2012
This dress shows off your curves while making you look leaner at the same time! I'm so happy with this dress! I am 5'6/ 120 lbs/ 34D and the m/l fit me perfect. I usually get the small size in bebe but the bodycons I choose the M/L size bc it makes me feel more comfortable. The picture on my computer makes the teal look dull.. however in person it's a bit brighter and more vibrant. This is a MUST HAVE!
May 2, 2012
Fit to Form
"one of my first bodycon style dresses, this dress comes very slim so it definitely is form fitting; great for a date or a girl's night out"
April 27, 2012
This Dress Rocks
"The good quality fabric of this dress fits great on the body, pulls you in, and slims you up! This is what I call a true bodycon dress. Slims and compliments into an hourglass figure, no low cut back which means I can wear a full supporting bra. I feel totally confident in this dress. The length is complimentingly perfect, not too long (drab) and not too short (I don't know about anyone else but I don't like for my butt to be hanging out when I wear my dresses). I have this dress in both colors. It's going to be really fun to wear and I can't wait for the compliments to come."

The Best Black Shoes In Every Height
Senior Digital Editor
Every season, designers, editors and stylists alike insist that such-and-such hue is "the new black"—but simply put, there's no shade on the planet that will ever rival the versatility and timelessness of good 'ol noir, especially when it comes to footwear. A pair of black ballerinas, heels or boots is one of the soundest accessory investments a girl can possibly make—but of course, heel heights aren't exactly a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. That's why I've rounded up 30 perfect pairs in a wide variety of heights above; whether you prefer flats or full-on five-inch stilettos, you're sure to find one that suits you.

Take Me Out To The Cubs Game: A Short Story
milwaukee brewers August 21st, 2012
He grew up a Cubs fan just like his dad did. As a kid his dad would sit him down in front of the TV, turn on WGN and the two of them would spend a summer day with Harry Caray. It was a ritual as a kid, but then he got older and friends and girls and other things got in the way. He grew up and he didn't watch as much Cubs baseball with his dad as he used to. He didn't watch any at all really. Now that he's older he doesn't consider himself much of a baseball fan, more of a football guy. He probably couldn't even tell you who won the World Series last year, but he did like the Cubs. He loved the idea of it more than anything else. "Did you know that a guy lived his whole life without ever seeing the Cubs in the World Series? I hope that's not me." He'd say and he meant it too. The Cubs were his team. Forever and always.
He had a son of his own now and he figured he'd be a Cubs fan just like him. Harry Caray wasn't around and half the games weren't even on WGN anymore, but it didn't matter to him. He was a Cubs fan and his son would be too. He didn't realize that things were different now. His son couldn't relive his youth just like he couldn't suddenly become his father. His son didn't want to watch a baseball game on TV, not when there are X-Boxes and Nintendo DSes and interwebs to be played. His son didn't want to play catch with a baseball, he wanted to play a game of baseball... on his 360. Despite his best efforts he could not get his son to care about the Cubs of Chicago. The world had changed, his son didn't live in his world anymore and the man didn't realize it. Like Jack after he got off the island he wanted to go back.
A game. That's would fix things. If only his young son could see the Cubs live and in person he could finally see how great it is to live in the world as a Cubs fan. Cubs fans are like a big happy family, he thought. After a game he would see this and his son could join the family. Then they'd be closer, then they'd have something to share. Something just for them. He looked at tickets online, but Wrigley Field was just too expensive even with the Cubs not playing well. Between the drive into the city and the parking and the food and everything else he knew there was no way he could justify it to his wife. Plus, she'd probably want to come with which was out of the question to him. This was a father and son thing and she couldn't come. (Besides he could use a break.) He couldn't figure out how to afford the trip. The trip that would make his son love his team as much as he did. The trip that would make him and his son feel more like him and his father. And then it came to him. The answer was right in front of him all along: Wrigley North.
Miller Park was not only closer, easier to get to and more comfortable, it was also cheaper. He could hop on the expressway from the North Suburbs and be there in no time. He could be back before midnight and not spend nearly as much as he would downtown. It was perfect and it's not like there wouldn't be plenty of Cubs fans in attendance. They don't call it Wrigley North for nothing. He bought the tickets and August 20th they would go.
The ride up was more of the same for their relationship. The son played his video games while the dad drove. He tried to talk, but the son was too into his video game. Just like always, but the actual baseball game? That was different. His son was into it. His son stood and cheered, he laughed and he was in awe of every homerun. "I did it," he thought "I made my son a Cubs fan." He'd never felt prouder as a father.
The Brewers entered the bottom of the fifth and with the Cubs leading 3-1 it occurred to the man that his son's first Cubs game would be a win. This excited him to no end and he couldn't hold it in. He asked his son if he thought the Cubs were going to pull this thing off to which his son replied "yeah, maybe." He liked that. He liked that his son didn't count his chickens before they hatched. After all, there was a lot of baseball left to be played.
The bottom of the fifth got rolling and the Cubs remembered they were the Cubs. The Brewers went off on them for eight runs and any hope of a Cubs win probably went with them. When Jonathan Lucroy hit his second homerun the dad felt bad. He remembered how he felt as a kid when his dad took him to a game and he saw the Cubs get destroyed. That was so long ago, but the wounds still felt fresh. He wanted to make his son feel better at this moment so he turned to console him. Only his son didn't need any consoling. He was on his feet, cheering and high fiving strangers. His son was as happy as he'd ever seen him. His son was a Brewers fan.
The father felt betrayed. How did this happen? How could this happen? Where did I go wrong? He couldn't grasp why his son wouldn't want to be apart of the same family that he was a member of. It didn't add up. So he asked him. The boys answer did not surprise him because he had heard it before many times throughout his life. He did not, however, ever expect to hear the words from his son. These words were never supposed to be said by his own flesh and blood. His son's words were simple yet biting. Short yet pointed. There were only three of them, but the father felt every single one of them deep in his heart.
It's been said that children make you want to live your life over. That the world through their eyes is so much better than the world through your own. This is not something the man thought about that day, but it is something he probably should have because his son's words were the truth. A truth he should have learned a long time ago. A truth his father should have told him. The truth, as the boy said, is this:
"The Cubs suck."

Amsterdam's Alligator-Shaped Mixed Use Development Offers Unique Public and Private Spaces
The Albino Alligator is mixed-use project composed of five buildings that is designed to regenerate the Buiksloterham region in Amsterdam North. Rotterdam-based Maxwan architects designed each branch of the office to house a different part of the building's program, which resulted in an alligator-shaped building.Each building is used for a different purpose and forms a part of the alligator's body. A series of public spaces including retail and offices forms the head, a strip of row houses forms the body, a residential tower serves as one of the legs, a tower of live-work studios serves as the second leg, and a fitness club makes up the tail. Each building is shaped by its structural and programmatic needs.

Chicken nuggets. My kids love them. I personally love them. I try not to make it a habit of feeding my children fast food, but when I do, I look for the healthiest items on the menu.
Well there's a new nugget in town, courtesy of Chick-fil-A! Their all new Grilled Chicken Nuggets are now being offered as a kids meal entree, and can be paired along with Buddy Fruits Applesauce and low fat milk. Now when I find myself pressed for time, I don't feel guilty feeding my children unhealthy fast foods, Chick-fil-A's grilled nuggets are a great alternative! In comparison to other fast food kids meals, this has been recognized as one of the healthiest in America.
Face the facts on Chick-fil-A's Grilled Nuggets:
- They are made of 100% chicken breast meat and are gluten free, no pre-formed meats used here! The 4-count grilled nuggets are 80 calories, 1g fat; 6-count nuggets are 110 calories, 1.5g fat.
- There are now better side item and drink choices. No need for fries. Buddy Fruits Applesauce, fruit cup, low fat milk, 100% apple juice, and water are among the offerings.
- When you get the Nutritious Kid's Meal Combo, The Grilled Nuggets (4-count), Fruit Cup and one-percent milk option contains only 210 calories and 3 grams of fat – reflecting an 86 percent cut in fat grams and a 56 percent calorie reduction compared to its previous offerings.
Childhood nutrition is extremely important, and I am glad to see that Chick-fil-A, a quite popular fast food chain, is taking notice and making a change. Obesity in our kids is at an all time high, I love the fact that they are doing their part to help in the fight against it.
I tried out Chick-fil-A's Grilled Nuggets and they were pretty good. There is a salt and pepper flavor and they were nice and juicy inside, just the way I like my grilled chicken! They are a bit small, but I imagine that is what you get after removing all of the breading and fillers from regular chicken nuggets. My kids ate their meals without issue, but if you have hungry kiddos, go for the 6 piece!

The silver trumpets. (1-10) The Israelites remove from Sinai to Paran. (11-28) Hobab entreated by Moses to continue. (29-32) The blessing pronounced by Moses. (33-36)
Verses 1-10 Here are directions concerning the public notices to be given the people by sound of trumpet. Their laws in every case were to be Divine, therefore, even in this matter Moses is directed. These trumpets typify the preached gospel. It sounds an alarm to sinners, calls them to repent, proclaims liberty to the captives and slaves of Satan, and collects the worshippers of God. It directs and encourages their heavenly journey; stirs them up to combat against the world and sin, encouraging them with the assurance of victory. It leads their attention to the sacrifice of Christ, and shows the Lord's presence for their protection. It is also necessary that the gospel trumpet give a distinct sound, according to the persons addressed, or the end proposed; whether to convince, humble, console, exhort, reprove, or teach. The sounding of the trumpet of the gospel is God's ordinance, and demands the attention of all to whom it is sent.
Verses 11-28 After the Israelites had continued nearly a year at mount Sinai, and all was settled respecting their future worship, they began their march to Canaan. True religion begins with the knowledge of the holy law of God, and humiliation for sin, but we must go on towards perfection, in acquaintance with Christ and his gospel, and those effectual encouragements, motives, and assistances to holiness, which it proposes. They took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord, ( Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ) , and as the cloud led them. Those who give themselves to the direction of God's word and Spirit, steer a steady course, even when they seem bewildered. While they are sure they cannot lose their God and Guide, they need not fear losing their way. They went out of the wilderness of Sinai, and rested in the wilderness of Paran. All our removes in this world are but from one wilderness to another. The changes we think will be for the better do not always prove so. We shall never be at rest, never at home, till we come to heaven, but all will be well there.
Verses 29-32 Moses invites his kindred to go to Canaan. Those that are bound for the heavenly Canaan, should ask and encourage their friends to go with them: we shall have none the less of the joys of heaven, for others coming to share with us. It is good having fellowship with those who have fellowship with God. But the things of this world, which are seen, draw strongly from the pursuit of the things of the other world, which are not seen. Moses urges that Hobab might be serviceable to them. Not to show where they must encamp, nor what way they must march, the cloud was to direct that; but to show the conveniences of the place they marched through, and encamped in. It well consists with our trust in God's providence, to use the help of our friends.
Verses 33-36 Their going out and coming in, gives an example to us to begin and end every day's journey and every day's work with prayer. Here is Moses's prayer when the ark set forward, "Rise up, and let thine enemies be scattered." There are those in the world who are enemies to God and haters of him; secret and open enemies; enemies to his truths, his laws, his ordinances, his people. But for the scattering and defeating of God's enemies, there needs no more than God's arising. Observe also the prayer of Moses when the ark rested, that God would cause his people to rest. The welfare and happiness of the Israel of God, consist in the continual presence of God among them. Their safety is not in their numbers, but in the favour of God, and his gracious return to them, and resting with them. Upon this account, Happy art thou, O Israel! who is like unto thee, O people! God will go before them, to find them resting-places by the way. His promise is, and their prayers are, that he will never leave them nor forsake them.
Numbers 10:1-36 . THE USE OF THE SILVER TRUMPETS.
2. Make thee two trumpets of silver--These trumpets were of a long form, in opposition to that of the Egyptian trumpets, with which the people were convened to the worship of Osiris and which were curved like rams' horns. Those which Moses made, as described by JOSEPHUS and represented on the arch of Titus, were straight, a cubit or more in length, the tubes of the thickness of a flute. Both extremities bore a close resemblance to those in use among us. They were of solid silver--so as, from the purity of the metal, to give a shrill, distinct sound; and there were two of them, probably because there were only two sons of Aaron; but at a later period the number was greatly increased ( Joshua 6:8 , 2 Chronicles 5:12 ). And although the camp comprehended 2,500,000 of people, two trumpets would be quite sufficient, for sound is conveyed easily through the pure atmosphere and reverberated strongly among the valleys of the Sinaitic hills.
3-7. when they shall blow with them--There seem to have been signals made by a difference in the loudness and variety in the notes, suited for different occasions, and which the Israelites learned to distinguish. A simple uniform sound by both trumpets summoned a general assembly of the people; the blast of a single trumpet convoked the princes to consult on public affairs; notes of some other kind were made to sound an alarm, whether for journeying or for war. One alarm was the recognized signal for the eastern division of the camp (the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun) to march; two alarms gave the signal for the southern to move; and, though it is not in our present Hebrew text, the Septuagint has, that on three alarms being sounded, those on the west; while on four blasts, those on the north decamped. Thus the greatest order and discipline were established in the Israelitish camp--no military march could be better regulated.
8. the sons of Aaron the priests shall blow with the trumpets, &c.--Neither the Levites nor any in the common ranks of the people could be employed in this office of signal giving. In order to attract greater attention and more faithful observance, it was reserved to the priests alone, as the Lord's ministers; and as anciently in Persia and other Eastern countries the alarm trumpets were sounded from the tent of the sovereign, so were they blown from the tabernacle, the visible residence of Israel's King.
9. If ye go to war--In the land of Canaan, either when attacked by foreign invaders or when they went to take possession according to the divine promise, "ye [that is, the priests] shall blow an alarm." This advice was accordingly acted upon ( Numbers 31:6 , 2 Chronicles 13:12 ); and in the circumstances it was an act of devout confidence in God. A solemn and religious act on the eve of a battle has often animated the hearts of those who felt they were engaged in a good and just cause; and so the blowing of the trumpet, being an ordinance of God, produced that effect on the minds of the Israelites. But more is meant by the words--namely, that God would, as it were, be aroused by the trumpet to bless with His presence and aid.
10. Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days--Festive and thanksgiving occasions were to be ushered in with the trumpets, as all feasts afterwards were ( Psalms 81:3 , 2 Chronicles 29:27 ) to intimate the joyous and delighted feelings with which they engaged in the service of God.
11. It came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year--The Israelites had lain encamped in Wady-Er-Rahah and the neighboring valleys of the Sinaitic range for the space of eleven months and twenty-nine days. (Compare Exodus 19:1 ). Besides the religious purposes of the highest importance to which their long sojourn at Sinai was subservient, the Israelites, after the hardships and oppression of the Egyptian servitude, required an interval of repose and refreshment. They were neither physically nor morally in a condition to enter the lists with the warlike people they had to encounter before obtaining possession of Canaan. But the wondrous transactions at Sinai--the arm of Jehovah so visibly displayed in their favor--the covenant entered into, and the special blessings guaranteed, beginning a course of moral and religious education which moulded the character of this people--made them acquainted with their high destiny and inspired them with those noble principles of divine truth and righteousness which alone make a great nation.
12. wilderness of Paran--It stretched from the base of the Sinaitic group, or from Et-Tyh, over that extensive plateau to the southwestern borders of Palestine.
13-27. the children of Israel took their journey . . . by the hand of Moses--It is probable that Moses, on the breaking up of the encampment, stationed himself on some eminence to see the ranks defile in order through the embouchure of the mountains. The marching order is described ( Numbers 2:1-34 ); but, as the vast horde is represented here in actual migration, let us notice the extraordinary care that was taken for ensuring the safe conveyance of the holy things. In the rear of Judah, which, with the tribes of Issachar and Zebulun, led the van, followed the Gershonites and Merarites with the heavy and coarser materials of the tabernacle. Next in order were set in motion the flank divisions of Reuben and Ephraim. Then came the Kohathites, who occupied the center of the moving mass, bearing the sacred utensils on their shoulder. They were so far behind the other portions of the Levitical body that these would have time at the new encampment to rear the framework of the tabernacle before the Kohathites arrived. Last of all, Dan, with the associated tribes, brought up the rear of the immense caravan. Each tribe was marshalled under its prince or chief and in all their movements rallied around its own standard.
29. Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite--called also Reuel (the same as Jethro [ Exodus 2:18 , Margin]). Hobab, the son of this Midianite chief and brother-in-law to Moses, seems to have sojourned among the Israelites during the whole period of their encampment at Sinai and now on their removal proposed returning to his own abode. Moses urged him to remain, both for his own benefit from a religious point of view, and for the useful services his nomad habits could enable him to render.
31. Leave us not, I pray thee . . . and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes--The earnest importunity of Moses to secure the attendance of this man, when he enjoyed the benefit of the directing cloud, has surprised many. But it should be recollected that the guidance of the cloud, though it showed the general route to be taken through the trackless desert, would not be so special and minute as to point out the places where pasture, shade, and water were to be obtained and which were often hid in obscure spots by the shifting sands. Besides, several detachments were sent off from the main body; the services of Hobab, not as a single Arab, but as a prince of a powerful clan, would have been exceedingly useful.
32. if thou go with us . . . what goodness the Lord will show unto us, the same will we do unto thee--A strong inducement is here held out; but it seems not to have changed the young man's purpose, for he departed and settled in his own district.
33. they departed . . . three days' journey--the first day's progress being very small, about eighteen or twenty miles.
ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them--It was carried in the center, and hence some eminent commentators think the passage should be rendered, "the ark went in their presence," the cloud above upon it being conspicuous in their eyes. But it is probable that the cloudy pillar, which, while stationary, rested upon the ark, preceded them in the march--as, when in motion at one time ( Exodus 14:19 ) it is expressly said to have shifted its place.
35, 36. when the ark set forward that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered--Moses, as the organ of the people, uttered an appropriate prayer both at the commencement and the end of each journey. Thus all the journeys were sanctified by devotion; and so should our prayer be, "If thy presence go not with us, carry us not hence" [ Exodus 33:15 ].
