Murphy is as sweet as can be.
Woof! I’m Murphy, and I’m such a snuggle bug that the first time I nudge you with my nose so you can hug me close, you’ll be in love with me. I’m a wonderful shepherd/collie mix that was left to die at a local shelter, but Young at Heart rescued me in the nick of time, and now I am enjoying fluffy beds, romps in the yard, and lots of love in my foster home. I am such a good boy, I’m an instant companion! Just add love! Now, before I tell you my age, you have to promise not to judge me. After all, I would never judge you! Ok, here goes… I’m 12. Not 12 months old, but 12-years-young. Now wait! Before you stop reading, let me tell you something – there is nothing like providing a sweet dog like me the best love he’s ever known in the …

Passed by a 35-21 vote, the bill now goes to the desk of Gov. Pat Quinn, who has not yet said whether he intends to sign it.
By a vote of 35-21, the Illinois Senate approved legislation on Friday that would allow doctors in the state to prescribe marijuana as pain relief for severe medical conditions. The bill now goes to Gov. Pat Quinn for his signature. According to the Chicago Tribune, the bill covers 33 specific conditions—including multiple sclerosis, cancer and HIV infection—and includes several controls, with a four-year trial program, dosage limits, fingerprinting, background checks and licensed dispensing centers. “This bill is filled with walls to keep this limited,” the paper quoted sponsoring Sen. Bill Haine (D-Alton), who urged lawmakers to pass the legislation as a compassionate measure for those suffering with extreme pain. In opposition, Sen. …

Marchex Institute says Illinois residents are among the worst offenders in the country when it comes to swear words, though we are pretty courteous with 'please' and 'thank you.'
Well gosh darn it, turns out we're a bunch of potty mouths here in Illinois, thank you very much. That's the finding from the Marchex Institute, a data analysis firm, which ranks Illinois as the 5th worst cursing state in the country, though acknowledges that we're pretty liberal with our "pleases" and "thank yous." Just in time for National Etiquette Week, Marchex released findings on the most courteous and the least courteous states in the nation. The Institute examined more than 600,000 phone calls from the past 12 months. You know, the calls that "may be recorded for training purposes." The calls were placed by consumers to businesses across 30 industries, including cable and satellite companies, auto dealerships, pest control centers…

Restaurant representatives are speaking with the village of Kildeer about building on the Muddy Paws site, the Daily Herald reports.
Chick-fil-A could soon be coming to Kildeer at the former site of Muddy Paws, the Daily Herald reports. Representatives of Chick-fil-A spoke before the Kildeer plan commission this week. Some concerns regarding building a restaurant on the site arose, including whether the layout would be big enough for emergency vehicles. Many residents also spoke out against the proposal, saying Chick-fil-A is not a wanted business in town, the newspaper reports. Muddy Paws was torn down in two years ago, after thirty four dogs were found starved to death inside. Diane Eldrup was convicted of 18 felony counts of aggravated cruelty and 18 counts of animal torture for the incident. She was sentenced to 18 months of periodic imprisonment in December of …

I personally don't particularly like the food at Chic Fil A, don't think it's that good - as far as the philosophy of the owner, if you don't like what he says or believes in, don't visit the establishment. Simple as that. I would worry more about ingress and egress from Route 12 given what the traffic is on that stretch of road. more ›
Government teacher Andy Conneen created the bill proposing that 17-year-olds be able to vote in Illinois primaries, the Stevenson Daily Digest reports.
Seventeen year olds could soon be voting in Illinois primary elections, thanks to a bill proposed by a Stevenson High School teacher. Government teacher Andy Conneen created the bill titled “Suffrage at 17”, the Stevenson Daily Digest reports. The Illinois Senate approved the bill on Wednesday by a vote of 43-9. It would allow 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections, but only if they turn 18 by the time of the general election, the Chicago Tribune reports. Governor Pat Quinn supports the bill. If passed, Illinois would be the 13th state to allow 17-year-olds to vote in primaries, the newspaper reports. Related Articles: Andrew Conneen Named Teacher of the Year Finalist

Due to the extreme penalties behind missing jury duty, scammers are preying on victims’ fear of legal action by pretending to be “jury duty coordinators” questioning consumers about recent jury duty summons.
