Here are cautions against corrupt affections, and love of this world, which is enmity to God. (1-10) Exhortations to undertake no affairs of life, without constant regard to the will and providence of God. (11-17)
Verses 1-10 Since all wars and fightings come from the corruptions of our own hearts, it is right to mortify those lusts that war in the members. Wordly and fleshly lusts are distempers, which will not allow content or satisfaction. Sinful desires and affections stop prayer, and the working of our desires toward God. And let us beware that we do not abuse or misuse the mercies received, by the disposition of the heart when prayers are granted When men ask of God prosperity, they often ask with wrong aims and intentions. If we thus seek the things of this world, it is just in God to deny them. Unbelieving and cold desires beg denials; and we may be sure that when prayers are rather the language of lusts than of graces, they will return empty. Here is a decided warning to avoid all criminal friendships with this world. Worldly-mindedness is enmity to God. An enemy may be reconciled, but "enmity" never can be reconciled. A man may have a large portion in things of this life, and yet be kept in the love of God; but he who sets his heart upon the world, who will conform to it rather than lose its friendship, is an enemy to God. So that any one who resolves at all events to be upon friendly terms with the world, must be the enemy of God. Did then the Jews, or the loose professors of Christianity, think the Scripture spake in vain against this worldly-mindedness? or does the Holy Spirit who dwells in all Christians, or the new nature which he creates, produce such fruit? Natural corruption shows itself by envying. The spirit of the world teaches us to lay up, or lay out for ourselves, according to our own fancies; God the Holy Spirit teaches us to be willing to do good to all about us, as we are able. The grace of God will correct and cure the spirit by nature in us; and where he gives grace, he gives another spirit than that of the world. The proud resist God: in their understanding they resist the truths of God; in their will they resist the laws of God; in their passions they resist the providence of God; therefore, no wonder that God resists the proud. How wretched the state of those who make God their enemy! God will give more grace to the humble, because they see their need of it, pray for it are thankful for it, and such shall have it. Submit to God, ver. ( 7 ) . Submit your understanding to the truth of God; submit your wills to the will of his precept, the will of his providence. Submit yourselves to God, for he is ready to do you good. If we yield to temptations, the devil will continually follow us; but if we put on the whole armour of God, and stand out against him, he will leave us. Let sinners then submit to God, and seek his grace and favour; resisting the devil. All sin must be wept over; here, in godly sorrow, or, hereafter, in eternal misery. And the Lord will not refuse to comfort one who really mourns for sin, or to exalt one who humbles himself before him.
Verses 11-17 Our lips must be governed by the law of kindness, as well as truth and justice. Christians are brethren. And to break God's commands, is to speak evil of them, and to judge them, as if they laid too great a restraint upon us. We have the law of God, which is a rule to all; let us not presume to set up our own notions and opinions as a rule to those about us, and let us be careful that we be not condemned of the Lord. "Go to now," is a call to any one to consider his conduct as being wrong. How apt worldly and contriving men are to leave God out of their plans! How vain it is to look for any thing good without God's blessing and guidance! The frailty, shortness, and uncertainty of life, ought to check the vanity and presumptuous confidence of all projects for futurity. We can fix the hour and minute of the sun's rising and setting to-morrow, but we cannot fix the certain time of a vapour being scattered. So short, unreal, and fading is human life, and all the prosperity or enjoyment that attends it; though bliss or woe for ever must be according to our conduct during this fleeting moment. We are always to depend on the will of God. Our times are not in our own hands, but at the disposal of God. Our heads may be filled with cares and contrivances for ourselves, or our families, or our friends; but Providence often throws our plans into confusion. All we design, and all we do, should be with submissive dependence on God. It is foolish, and it is hurtful, to boast of worldly things and aspiring projects; it will bring great disappointment, and will prove destruction in the end. Omissions are sins which will be brought into judgment, as well as commissions. He that does not the good he knows should be done, as well as he who does the evil he knows should not be done, will be condemned. Oh that we were as careful not to omit prayer, and not to neglect to meditate and examine our consciences, as we are not to commit gross outward vices against light!
James 4:1-17 . AGAINST FIGHTINGS AND THEIR SOURCE; WORLDLY LUSTS; UNCHARITABLE JUDGMENTS, AND PRESUMPTUOUS RECKONING ON THE FUTURE.
1. whence--The cause of quarrels is often sought in external circumstances, whereas internal lusts are the true origin.
wars, &c.--contrasted with the "peace" of heavenly wisdom. "Fightings" are the active carrying on of "wars." The best authorities have a second "whence" before "fightings." Tumults marked the era before the destruction of Jerusalem when James wrote. He indirectly alludes to these. The members are the first seat of war; thence it passes to conflict between man and man, nation and nation.
come they not, &c.--an appeal to their consciences.
lusts--literally, "pleasures," that is, the lusts which prompt you to "desire" whence you seek self at the cost of your neighbor, and hence flow "fightings."
that war--"campaign, as an army of soldiers encamped within" [ALFORD] the soul; tumultuously war against the interests of your fellow men, while lusting to advance self. But while warring thus against others they (without his knowledge) war against the soul of the man himself, and against the Spirit; therefore they must be "mortified" by the Christian.
2. Ye lust--A different Greek word from that in James 4:1 . "Ye desire"; literally, "ye set your mind (or heart) on" an object.
have not--The lust of desire does not ensure the actual possession. Hence "ye kill" (not as Margin, without any old authority, "envy") to ensure possession. Not probably in the case of professing Christians of that day in a literal sense, but "kill and envy" (as the Greek for "desire to have" should be translated), that is, harass and oppress through envy [DRUSIUS]. Compare Zechariah 11:5 , "slay"; through envy, hate, and desire to get out of your way, and so are "murderers" in God's eyes [ESTIUS]. If literal murder [ALFORD] were meant, I do not think it would occur so early in the series; nor had Christians then as yet reached so open criminality. In the Spirit's application of the passage to all ages, literal killing is included, flowing from the desire to possess so David and Ahab. There is a climax: "Ye desire," the individual lust for an object; "ye kill and envy," the feeling and action of individuals against individuals; "ye fight and war," the action of many against many.
ye have not, because ye ask not--God promises to those who pray, not to those who fight. The petition of the lustful, murderous, and contentious is not recognized by God as prayer. If ye prayed, there would be no "wars and fightings." Thus this last clause is an answer to the question, James 4:1 , "Whence come wars and fightings?"
3. Some of them are supposed to say in objection, But we do "ask" (pray); compare James 4:2 . James replies, It is not enough to ask for good things, but we must ask with a good spirit and intention. "Ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it (your object of prayer) upon (literally, 'in') your lusts (literally, 'pleasures')"; not that ye may have the things you need for the service of God. Contrast James 1:5 with Matthew 6:31 Matthew 6:32 . If ye prayed aright, all your pro. per wants would be supplied; the improper cravings which produce "wars and fightings" would then cease. Even believers' prayers are often best answered when their desires are most opposed.
4. The oldest manuscripts omit "adulterers and," and read simply, "Ye adulteresses." God is the rightful husband; the men of the world are regarded collectively as one adulteress, and individually as adulteresses.
the world--in so far as the men of it and their motives and acts are aliens to God, for example, its selfish "lusts" ( James 4:3 ), and covetous and ambitious "wars and fightings" ( James 4:1 ).
enmity--not merely "inimical"; a state of enmity, and that enmity itself. Compare 1 John 2:15 , "love . . . the world . . . the love of the Father."
whosoever . . . will be--The Greek is emphatic, "shall be resolved to be." Whether he succeed or not, if his wish be to be the friend of the world, he renders himself, becomes (so the Greek for "is") by the very fact, "the enemy of God." Contrast "Abraham the friend of God."
5. in vain--No word of Scripture can be so. The quotation here, as in Ephesians 5:14 , seems to be not so much from a particular passage as one gathered by James under inspiration from the general tenor of such passages in both the Old and New Testaments, as Numbers 14:29 , Proverbs 21:20 , Galatians 5:17 .
spirit that dwelleth in us--Other manuscripts read, "that God hath made to dwell in us" (namely, at Pentecost). If so translated, "Does the (Holy) Spirit that God hath placed in us lust to (towards) envy" (namely, as ye do in your worldly "wars and fightings")? Certainly not; ye are therefore walking in the flesh, not in the Spirit, while ye thus lust towards, that is, with envy against one another. The friendship of the world tends to breed envy; the Spirit produces very different fruit. ALFORD attributes the epithet "with envy," in the unwarrantable sense of jealously, to the Holy Spirit: "The Spirit jealously desires us for His own." In English Version the sense is, "the (natural) spirit that hath its dwelling in us lusts with (literally, 'to,' or 'towards') envy." Ye lust, and because ye have not what ye lust after ( james 4:1 james 4:2 ), ye envy your neighbor who has, and so the spirit of envy leads you on to "fight." James also here refers to james 3:14 james 3:16 .
6. But--"Nay, rather."
giveth more grace--ever increasing grace; the farther ye depart from "envy" [BENGEL].
he saith--The same God who causes His spirit to dwell in believers ( James 4:5 ), by the Spirit also speaks in Scripture. The quotation here is probably from Proverbs 3:34 ; as probably Proverbs 21:10 was generally referred to in James 4:5 . In Hebrew it is "scorneth the scorners," namely, those who think "Scripture speaketh in vain."
resisteth--literally, "setteth Himself in array against"; even as they, like Pharaoh, set themselves against Him. God repays sinners in their own coin. "Pride" is the mother of "envy" ( James 4:5 ); it is peculiarly satanic, for by it Satan fell.
the proud--The Greek means in derivation one who shows himself above his fellows, and so lifts himself against God.
the humble--the unenvious, uncovetous, and unambitious as to the world. Contrast James 4:4 .
7. Submit to . . . God--so ye shall be among "the humble," James 4:6 ; also 4:10 , 1 Peter 5:6 .
Resist . . . devil--Under his banner pride and envy are enlisted in the world; resist his temptations to these. Faith, humble prayers, and heavenly wisdom, are the weapons of resistance. The language is taken from warfare. "Submit" as a good soldier puts himself in complete subjection to his captain. "Resist," stand bravely against.
he will flee--Translate, "he shall flee." For it is a promise of God, not a mere assurance from man to man [ALFORD]. He shall flee worsted as he did from Christ.
8. Draw nigh to God--So "cleave unto Him," Deuteronomy 30:20 , namely, by prayerfully ( james 4:2 james 4:3 ) "resisting Satan," who would oppose our access to God.
he will draw nigh--propitious.
Cleanse . . . hands--the outward instruments of action. None but the clean-handed can ascend into the hill of the Lord (justified through Christ, who alone was perfectly so, and as such "ascended" thither).
purify . . . hearts--literally "make chaste" of your spiritual adultery ( James 4:4 , that is, worldliness) "your hearts": the inward source of all impurity.
double-minded--divided between God and the world. The "double-minded" is at fault in heart; the sinner in his hands likewise.
9. Be afflicted--literally, "Endure misery," that is, mourn over your wretchedness through sin. Repent with deep sorrow instead of your present laughter. A blessed mourning. Contrast Isaiah 22:12 Isaiah 22:13 , Luke 6:25 . James does not add here, as in James 5:1 , "howl," where he foretells the doom of the impenitent at the coming destruction of Jerusalem.
heaviness--literally, "falling of the countenance," casting down of the eyes.
10. in the sight of the Lord--as continually in the presence of Him who alone is worthy to be exalted: recognizing His presence in all your ways, the truest incentive to humility. The tree, to grow upwards, must strike its roots deep downwards; so man, to be exalted, must have his mind deep-rooted in humility. In 1 Peter 5:6 , it is, Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, namely, in His dealings of Providence: a distinct thought from that here.
lift you up--in part in this world, fully in the world to come.
11. Having mentioned sins of the tongue ( James 3:5-12 ), he shows here that evil-speaking flows from the same spirit of exalting self at the expense of one's neighbor as caused the "fightings" reprobated in this chapter ( James 4:1 ).
Speak not evil--literally, "Speak not against" one another.
brethren--implying the inconsistency of such depreciatory speaking of one another in brethren.
speaketh evil of the law--for the law in commanding, "Love thy neighbor as thyself" ( James 2:8 ), virtually condemns evil-speaking and judging [ESTIUS]. Those who superciliously condemn the acts and words of others which do not please themselves, thus aiming at the reputation of sanctity, put their own moroseness in the place of the law, and claim to themselves a power of censuring above the law of God, condemning what the law permits [CALVIN]. Such a.one acts as though the law could not perform its own office of judging, but he must fly upon the office [BENGEL]. This is the last mention of the law in the New Testament. ALFORD rightly takes the "law" to be the old moral law applied in its comprehensive spiritual fulness by Christ: "the law of liberty."
if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer . . . but a judge--Setting aside the Christian brotherhood as all alike called to be doers of the law, in subjection to it, such a one arrogates the office of a judge.
12. There is one lawgiver--The best authorities read in addition, "and judge." Translate, "There is One (alone) who is (at once) Lawgiver and Judge, (namely) He who is able to save and destroy." Implying, God alone is Lawgiver and therefore Judge, since it is He alone who can execute His judgments; our inability in this respect shows our presumption in trying to act as judges, as though we were God.
who art thou, &c.--The order in the Greek is emphatic, "But (inserted in oldest manuscripts) thou, who art thou that judgest another?" How rashly arrogant in judging thy fellows, and wresting from God the office which belongs to Him over thee and THEM alike!
another--The oldest authorities read, "thy neighbor."
13. Go to now--"Come now"; said to excite attention.
ye that say--boasting of the morrow.
To-day or to-morrow--as if ye had the free choice of either day as a certainty. Others read, "To-day and to-morrow."
such a city--literally, "this the city" (namely, the one present to the mind of the speaker). This city here.
continue . . . a year--rather, "spend one year." Their language implies that when this one year is out, they purpose similarly settling plans for to come [BENGEL].
buy and sell--Their plans for the future are all worldly.
14. what--literally, "of what nature" is your life? that is, how evanescent it is.
It is even--Some oldest authorities read, "For ye are." BENGEL, with other old authorities, reads, "For it shall be," the future referring to the "morrow" ( James 4:13-15 ). The former expresses, "Ye yourselves are transitory"; so everything of yours, even your life, must partake of the same transitoriness. Received text has no old authority.
and then vanisheth away--"afterwards vanishing as it came"; literally, "afterwards (as it appeared), so vanishing" [ALFORD].
15. Literally, "instead of your saying," &c. This refers to "ye that say" ( James 4:13 ).
we shall live--The best manuscripts read, "We shall both live and do," &c. The boasters spoke as if life, action, and the particular kind of action were in their power, whereas all three depend entirely on the will of the Lord.
16. now--as it is.
rejoice in . . . boastings--"ye boast in arrogant presumptions," namely, vain confident fancies that the future is certain to you ( James 4:13 ).
rejoicing--boasting [BENGEL].
17. The general principle illustrated by the particular example just discussed is here stated: knowledge without practice is imputed to a man as great and presumptuous sin. James reverts to the principle with which he started. Nothing more injures the soul than wasted impressions. Feelings exhaust themselves and evaporate, if not embodied in practice. As we will not act except we feel, so if we will not act out our feelings, we shall soon cease to feel.

We didn't start working at first with the Italian prisoners, but we hadn't been there long when they started bringing them over to the warehouses to work and load the boxcars...There would be an Army Sergeant that would bring the group. And then the Italians would have a Sergeant over them in groups of about 5 or 6. The Italian Sergeant usually spoke some English and the guards would sit there with their guns. -Eleanor Painter

Posted on April 10, 2014
In its continued quest to grow as a leader in digital marketing, AMG Creative has taken its next big step forward and launched a new website – amgci.com. Not only is the revamped website more user-friendly, it is a fully-responsive website that can be optimally viewed on any device. This was a point of emphasis in the development of the website, as more and more people are using mobile devices to browse the Internet.
With clients nationwide, AMG Creative is a full-service marketing and advertising agency that has continued to grow since its inception as the Almaden Marketing Group in 1991.
"We have big plans for the future, in terms of growth," AMG Creative President Terry Fine said. "Launching our website is part of the process.

The mission of AMG Creative is to maintain an exceptional level of customer service and to provide consistent high quality creative concepts and marketing materials through all forms of media.

Not that you asked, but my favorite Spanish proverb, attributed to the poet Juan Ramón Jiménez, can be translated as follows: "If they give you lined paper, write the other way." In keeping with this general sentiment, I'd like to begin my contribution to an issue of this journal whose theme is "Motivating Students" by suggesting that it is impossible to motivate students.

That is the new set, looks really awkward in this blurry photo.
That is the new set, looks really awkward in this blurry photo.
Love the Evan photo, I personally like the little scruff he has. It seems just right for him. Attractive and nerdy at the same time . No complaints about the Dolph photos here either.
Considering making a "Hunks of Wrestling" type of tumblr, for photos and all. Opinions?
I'd check it out.
And never ever any complaints from me bout Dolph reposts. Love love love him!!
I don't think that's THE new set, just the new house show set. They have different sets for house shows, much less glam than live events.
Secondly, pictures of Adam Cole, one of my favorite indy guys. He performs for CZW and ROH, among other places. The pics were from his official Facebook.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen of the jury!
More of Adam Cole.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen of the jury!
^^ VEEEERY cute.
Adam Cole is his name? I've had this pic of him forever, and I didn't know who he was..
Just saw this and felt like it belonged posted in here. I don't mind staring for a moment and watching AJ Styles strip.
Dreamy guy, Brian Kendrick
and ofcourse, can't forget the infamous Alex Shelley pictures:
Not sure about anyone else, but the Alex Shelley photos seem to have been removed by ImageShock. I'm sure one of them was this though?
Ah, the booty shorts. The one thing that could make someone wanna eat AJ's ass out even more.
Damn! These are hot pics. Thanks for uploading Cherry Bomb. The second one of him performing the Styles Clash is the best. The last one of him in the green shorts is hot too. Is he wearing a jockstrap? You are right, the booty shorts make me hungry for his ass. I would so bury my face in that hot ass of his.
Oh, AJ. He has the juiciest, bubbliest ass in Wrestling!
The things I would do just to touch it, spank it, and fuck it all night long!
He needs to go back to Trunks ASAP.
Damn he has a nice ass...
AJ's ass is just PERFECT. DAMN!!!
Wait, what the hell is going on here?!
This new thread needs some more Dibiase...
Sooooooooooooooo yummy!
I agree with you in that he needs to go back to trunks. I love the second picture of his sweet buns as he jumps through the air. Love the way the shorts ride up his crack. I believe the other guys in the pic are fellow hunks Chris Sabin (Yum) and Petey Williams (Yummier). In the third pic, his buns look so delectable, and I think Christopher Daniels is gorgeous. The fourth picture of him Styles Clashing Chris Sabin is hot too. A.J.'s ass looks great in those light blue tights. I need to go whack off now!
^^^ Totally agree! DiBiase is so fucking sexy! And that ass!
Anyone remember the glorious day when HHH was stripped to his knickers?
I'm glad the relaunching of this thread has inspired so many people to share pictures.
Usually tend not to double-post, but I wanted to let everybody know, 'Hunks Of Wrestling' is officially up (here) for those interested and while there's pretty much nothing pretty to look at yet. I'll be posting a few photos of the more popular superstars (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, etc) tonight and get things going from there. Never hurts to have an entire place for just photos to gawk at .
If anyone here has a particular request for a wrestler, just quote this or post something @CherryBomb like, with whoever you want, and I'll get to it. Anyone from WWE, to a small indy company, as long as they have photos that can be found, they'll be posted.
I love Ted dibiase's ass and his bulge we need a lot of his pictures ASAP
Camacho aka Donny Marlow have such a big fine ass at the end of the match
I want to see Danny fucking
wow the thread has cool collection
Miz & Maryse's NOH8 pic. I think this makes him the first male pro wrestler to do one - kudos.
Hottest. Fuck. Ever.
Homojomo what is that pic, a new raw stage?
Its the new House Show/Live Event stage.
I havent heard plans for a new RAW set. Plus its kind of pointless cause it would waste money and Smackdown would have to have a new set as well. (Plus, why would they change the set, the current one has been up since 08 so it is still too soon imo)
this thread is already mega hot. thanks for the Alex Shelley and Prince Devitt pics!
I hate that Raw and Smackdown have the same set and that they barely even alter it for PPVs, I miss the good ol days.....
At first I hated the new set but then it kind of grew on me. I think they did it cause its cheaper and because its easier to keep track of on the road.
Also, I dunno if you noticed at events that they have been reusing arenas for PPVs and sometimes they just get rid of the stage all together and they just have the set. (Vengence, Survivor Series, and TLC had no stage, just set)

It's easier than you think to phone bank for the freedom to marry!
on Oct 30, 2012 at 02:00 pmSome people are intimidated by the concept of phone banking because they think they're not good on the phone or don't feel comfortable making calls about marriage. I was nervous the first time I phone banked, too. But it's easy, it costs nothing, and it makes the biggest difference this year by reaching our most critical group.
On the Ground Running: My Volunteer Vacation in WA
on Oct 11, 2012 at 11:15 amWorking to win marriage every day from Freedom to Marry's New York City office has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, but there's nothing like being on the front lines of a state campaign.

Anniversary of 1st NY marriages bittersweet for binational couple Gemma and Jessica
on Jul 25, 2012 at 03:00 pmJessica and Gemma's happiness has been interrupted by the Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents legally married same-sex couples from obtaining permanent U.S. residency for a spouse from another country. Because Gemma is from the United Kingdom, the harms of DOMA immediately hit the couple hard. "Every day we were together felt like it was interrupted by a ticking time bomb. Every day, there was that fear of losing each other. It took a huge emotional toll on us and made everything ten times harder," Jessica said.

This dress fits and falls perfectly. The fabric is thick enough to not feel cheap but thin enough to breath. The colors are adorable. The mint green stripe contrasts nice with the black so it can be worn with almost any shoe color. Love it!

You can do better
Like the reviewer below, I had high hopes for this dress. The mint and stripes are right on trend, and the cut is cute, a little sexy, and can be dressed up or dressed down. Unfortunately, the fit of the dress was just kind of odd. It wasn't excessively tight, or excessively loose-the look was just sort of meh. For reference, I'm 5'9", hourglass figure, typically a size 4 or a XS/S in Bebe dresses, and this one just didn't accentuate my figure the way BeBe dresses usually do. In all honesty, I think it's just the way the dress is designed-the way the stripes are lined up on the dress doesn't do anything for anyone. I had to send the dress back.

Disappointed in the color and cut
I loved how the model rock this dress. I loved it so much I ordered it before it hit my stores last week. Since I haven't received it yet, I went to the store today to see how it looks like and to try on a larger size in case the XXS that I ordered runs too small. The pink color was not what I expected. The description states "pale pink" but there is no pink tone @ all. It's more of a tan color. The XS was also too long on me, hit me @ the knees and made me look wider. I'm not sure if it's because of the way the stripes are designed or just the cut of the dress. I think this dress would only look good on tall and lean women or women with a long torso. It runs big so go down a size if you want to purchase it. I may return if the smaller size doesn't show improvement. Nice quality and it's lined though.

Feds investigating finances of former Ald. Sandi Jackson: sources

- Jesse Jackson Jr. signs plea deal; feds still investigating last week
Updated: March 6, 2013 6:29AM
A federal financial probe of the once-politically powerful Jesse and Sandi Jackson has evolved into two separate investigations, with federal authorities taking an independent look at former Ald. Sandi Jackson, sources close to the probe told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Included in the scrutiny of Sandi Jackson, who resigned from her 7th Ward aldermanic position last month, is her access and use of her husband's congressional campaign money, including credit card charges, as well as the movement of money from one account to another, sources say.
In his resignation letter, Jesse Jackson Jr. acknowledged a federal probe and indicated his attorneys were working with federal authorities on it. For Sandi Jackson, however, sources cautioned that the feds are still weighing whether charges are warranted and noted that prosecutors do take into account — in a financial probe — charging husband and wife who are also a mom and a dad. The couple has school-aged children.
"They are trying to sort it out right now and trying to figure out exactly what to do with her," said one source close to the former alderman. Sandi Jackson was advised to get a lawyer at least four months ago.
Sandi Jackson for years was paid about $5,000 a month by her husband's campaign fund through her consulting firm, Donatella & Associates. The payments continued last year even in the months that Jesse Jackson Jr. had checked into a mental health facility and, with the exception of a robo-call, did no campaigning for the Nov. 6 election, which he won.
Sandi Jackson did not respond to calls for comment.
A review of Sandi Jackson's own campaign funds by the Sun-Times raises questions about the former alderman's accounting.
Sandi Jackson's 7th Ward committee, called SWIPO – Seventh Ward Independent Political Operation — shows a pattern of errors, including omitting disclosure of transfers from her husband's congressional campaign fund, failure to disclose the purpose of credit card payments and claiming negative balances at the beginning and end of a reporting period.
On Nov. 27, days after her husband's resignation, Sandi Jackson filed a correction for the final quarter of 2010. The corrected document submitted after her husband's resignation showed an additional $20,000 in expenditures for that period and revealed $8,200 in transfers out of her husband's congressional account.
The Illinois State Board of Elections sent the ward committee a letter on Nov. 5, 2012 noting it had been "notified of a possible discrepancy in committee reporting. According to Federal Election Commission disclosures, Jesse Jackson Jr. for Congress reported making a number of expenditures to the 7th Ward … it appears many of these expenditures were not disclosed."
The State Board of Elections also sent a letter dated Dec. 14, which asked: "The report begins and ends with a negative balance. Could you please clarify this?" That letter was sent the same day the Sun-Times published a story that highlighted that issue as well as a series of amendments made to the fund in the weeks after her husband's resignation from Congress.
Since November, the State Board of Elections sent the 7th Ward committee three letters asking to clarify various campaign reports. The Sun-Times obtained the letters through the Freedom of Information Act.
On Dec. 21, the 7th Ward committee responded in a letter, blaming personnel changes.
"A change in campaign staffing contributed to the over-site [sic] of the disclosure of the items noted in your earlier email," the committee wrote. "We are working vigorously to remedy this error through a series of amendments …"
The letter acknowledged monthly transfers from Jesse Jackson's congressional fund to his wife's ward organization, saying it was for rent. Campaign disclosures indicate a $1,250 per month transfer.
"All expenditures made from the Jesse Jackson Jr. for Congress Committee reflect rent payments … From 2009 to the present the combined campaign committees ran a coordinated campaign, which trained campaign volunteers to staff campaigns encompassing the 7th Ward and the 2nd Congressional District."
The letter said the combined space was used for ongoing training, field work and other file management.
The Illinois State Board of Elections said it has not received any federal subpoenas for Sandi Jackson's campaign funds.
It is unclear whether the investigation of Sandi Jackson would slow negotiations involving Jesse Jackson Jr.
He is represented in Washington, D.C., by power attorney Reid Weingarten.
"She has not made any statements and has been advised not to talk to the press," one source told the Sun-Times.
One source said a decision could be made within a month on Jesse Jackson's future.
"Just how much she is involved in the plea negotiations is still up in the air, but it should be resolved soon," added the source.

What do we believe? And for God's sake why?
These are the thorny questions that Lewis Black, the bitingly funny comedian, social critic, and bestselling author, tackles in his new book, Me of Little Faith. And he's come up with some answers. Or at least his answers. In more than two dozen essays that investigate everything from the differences between how Christians and Jews celebrate their holidays, to the politics of faith, to people's individual search for transcendence, Black explores his unique odyssey through religion and belief.
Growing up as a nonpracticing Jewish kid near Washington, D.C., during the 1950s, Black survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah (barely), went to college in the South during the tumultuous 1960s, and witnessed firsthand the unsettling parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did). He explored the self-actualization movements of the 1970s (and the self-indulgence that they produced), and since then has turned an increasingly skeptical eye toward the politicians and televangelists who don the cloak of religiouos rectitude to mask their own moral hypocrisy.
What he learned along the way about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black, and in Me of Little Faith he gives full vent to his comedic rage. Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all. Hilarious experiences with rabbis, Mormons, gurus, psychics, and even the joy of a perfect round of golf give Black the chance to expound upon what we believe and why—in the language of a shock jock and with the heart of an iconoclast.
"To put it as simply as I can," Black writes, "this is a book about my relationship with religion, where my—dare I say it?—spiritual journey has taken me…what it's meant and not meant to me, and why it makes me laugh." By the end of Me of Little Faith, you'll be a convert.

by Brian Liskai(Attica, OH) In an effort to address the costs of racing for sprint car teams at Fremont Speedway and Attica Raceway Park, Hoosier Tire Company is working with the tracks to make changes to the spec tire rule.Beginning with races in June, only the Hoosier SC-15 and Hoosier SC-25 right rear tires will be required as spec tires at both race tracks. Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer said the tracks wanted to give race teams and suppliers like Kear's Speed Shop and Kistler Racing Products time to cycle through the SC-12s they have remaining in stock.
"After talks with Rex LeJeune (Attica Raceway Park Operations Manager) Attica will follow suit with Fremont Speedway to implement a little harder spec tire rule," said Rich Farmer, Fremont Speedway Promoter. "I want to thank Hoosier Tire for working with us to help the racers. I own a sprint car and I know how expensive it can be to keep rubber on one of these. Hopefully this will help."Farmer said the tire rules for the sanctioning bodies that visit both tracks will remain.For more information contact Rich Farmer at 419-307-4241 or Rex LeJeune at 419-680-5606
