'Legal questions' on last-minute River Forest TIF projects
Other local bodies hesitant to comment on project
By Ben Meyerson
A Chicago-based watchdog group is skeptical of River Forest's plans to hold onto its $5 million in saved development funds, set to expire at the end of this year, saying it raises "legal questions" and generally violates the public's trust.
Facing the prospect of losing decades of accumulated Tax Increment Financing development dollars, River Forest is planning to sign off on last-minute plans to make use of that cash, notably in a proposed development at Lake and Lathrop, and avoid diverting it to the rest of River Forest's government bodies.
The village is planning to enter into a contract before the end of the year that would commit money to the Lake and Lathrop project without having all the specifics nailed down.
By entering into a contract now, the village hopes to escrow funds from the TIF fund, and avoid having to pay them to local government bodies when the TIF expires in three and a half weeks.
The plan is legally questionable, said Lawrence Msall, president of Chicago-based Civic Federation, but more than that, it betrays the trust of anyone paying or receiving property taxes in River Forest.
"To create escrows or to enter into last-minute contracts flies in the face of the goodwill that is provided for the creation of the districts as well as the future of tax increment financing," Msall said. "If the perception is that the municipality is creatively trying to hoard unallocated TIF dollars, it will not breed public trust."
Putting those dollars aside at the last second could create legal problems as well, he said.
"The suggestion of escrowing funds does open up legal questions," said Msall. "It may or may not withstand legal scrutiny; it may withstand lawsuits from taxpayers or others."
But River Forest's village attorney, Lance Malina, said that as long as the contract for Lake and Lathrop fulfills Illinois contract law, it's a valid way to use TIF dollars.
"A contract creates obligations to pay," Malina said. "Although the contracts might not be fully performed, the money wouldn't be counted as a surplus if it was committed."
There's no language in the law that governs TIF funds, Malina said, that stipulates how far along a project has to be for it to be a valid project.
"Legally, the question is, is it a binding contract within the period?" Malina said. "If the shovel isn't in the ground, that's not a distinction you can tie to anything in the statute."
Any money that's not committed from the $5 million when the TIF fund expires at the end of this year would be redistributed to any of the taxing bodies in River Forest that receive property taxes, such as the schools, the library and the park district.
River Forest Public School District 90 will get about a third of whatever's left in the TIF fund — a chunk of change that would amount to around $1.6 million if the Lake and Lathrop project didn't come through.
Dist. 90 Superintendent Thomas Hagerman said the schools would welcome that money, and any extra cash they get keeps them from having to ask for more money from taxpayers.
"Any further funds, of course, benefit the district and prevents us from having to go out for referendum," he said. "We're looking at the long-term economic picture. We said we wouldn't go out for another referendum until at least 2014, but any more dollars could push that back."

Clear symptoms of TIF addiction withdrawal. I thought this type of TIF dependence / abuse was only found in Chicago and Oak Park, but it appears to have spread to River Forest. The only known treatment is detoxification through the collective intervention of citizenry awareness and action. Good luck.

Previous article in this paper said tif was around for 25 years? Why the rush to complete a DEAL two weeks before the 25 Year tif expires. Why the secrecy for 25 Years?

Fantasy defenses to target, avoid
Dolphins' run defense, Detroit's pass defense should be targeted
The passing of the trade deadline makes this time of year the toughest in terms of upgrading a fantasy football team.
The task may be tough but it is not impossible, especially if close attention is paid to matchups. This week's Fantasy Foresight aims to assist in this endeavor by highlighting eight defenses that are struggling in a particular area, and noting potential valuable waiver pickups or bench players who could be moved up to a starter's role because of a favorable matchup.
Because it is also helpful to know defenses that should be avoided, there is a section dedicated to identifying three defenses that are playing quite well in an area, making them a candidate to avoid for certain players.
Defenses to target
Miami Dolphins: Run defense
According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Dolphins rank 25th in the league in rushing yards allowed per game in the past four weeks (148.25). This isn't an anomaly, as Miami also ranks 26th in fantasy points allowed to running backs this season.
Waiver target: Bilal Powell, New York Jets (owned in 35.9 percent of ESPN leagues)
Powell had three double-digit games in the first four weeks of the season, but since has taken a back seat to Chris Ivory. Ivory's recent ankle sprain may very well keep him out of the Jets' Week 13 matchup against Miami, and thus could make Powell a viable flex or RB2 candidate.

BURLINGTON The Burlington School Board has fired a high school Spanish teacher whos accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student.
Giovanna Yaranga has pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. She awaits trial.
A lawyer for the school district told the Burlington Free Press the board, at a closed-door hearing Tuesday, found the 44-year-old Yaranga guilty of conduct unbecoming a teacher. It also found she violated the districts sexual harassment policy.
The city initially placed Yaranga on paid administrative leave after her arrest last month. Superintendent Jeanne Collins later issued her a written notice of an intended dismissal.
Collins told the Free Press that Yaranga had seven days to respond but never contacted the district. She also did not attend Tuesdays disciplinary hearing.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER An executive with the owner of the mothballed Vermont Yankee nuclear plant sought to...

'Star Trek Into Darkness' writer Damon Lindelof has apologised to fans for Alice Eve's "gratuitous" underwear scene in JJ Abram's new 'Trek' sequel.
[Star Trek stars Simon Pegg and Alice Eve: 'JJ Abrams is badass']
Eve, who plays the Enterprise's excellent science officer Dr. Carol Marcus, is one of only two major female figures in the 'Trek' movie. So, the decision to have the brainy scientist appear "barely clothed" prompted many female fans to accuse filmmakers of sexually objectifying the character.
Lindelof, who also co-wrote 'Prometheus' and TV series 'Lost', issued the apology via his Twitter account, taking full responsibility for the scene:

Young Clergy: A Biographical-Developmental Study
Product Description
According to Daniel Levinson's developmental theory, each person's professional career path forms at the same time in their life, in their 20s and 30s. Young Clergy: A Biographical and Developmental Study applies Levinson's study to ministerial practice, mapping the career patterns of five historical ministers during that time period in each life. The author clearly presents deep psychological insights---supported by solid biographical information on each minister's actions and reactions to challenges---illustrating how the theory holds relevance for young professional clergy even today.
Young Clergy: A Biographical and Developmental Study reviews each minister's "Novice Phase," where the major tasks of forming a dream, forming mentor relationships, and forming an occupation are presented---and stringently supported by concrete biographical events. The book then shows how this phase leads each from their early adult transition through their entrance into the adult world, and then on to the life-altering events in the "Age 25 Shift" and the "Age 30 Transition." From there the text reveals the formative "Settling Down Period" through events that unfold between the ages of 33-40. The author discusses how this period determines the subsequent course of each one's career and, more importantly, shapes each one's attitudes, values, and convictions of a life as a minister. Using fascinating biographical information from multiple sources, the author builds a well-reasoned case that no matter how long ago these important men lived, their career patterns and lives hold a wealth of insightful information to help you maximize strengths and minimize liabilities in your own career and life today.
Young Clergy: A Biographical and Developmental Study closely examines these five historical figures' biographies, and reviews each applicable theoretical career path:
- Phillips Brooksadvancement within a stable life structure
- Jonathan Edwardsdecline or failure within a stable structure
- John Henry Newmanbreaking out---trying for a new structure
- John Wesleyadvancement produces change in life structure
- Orestes Brownsonunstable life structure

AccuWeather: Warmest March ever for cities in more than 25 states
By Kristina Pydynowski
AccuWeather.com Meteorologist
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — AccuWeather.com reports March 2012 is officially the warmest March on record for dozens of cities across more than 25 states and Washington, D.C.
Few will argue March 2012 felt more like late spring or summer across the eastern two-thirds of the U.S., and now meteorologists can also officially deem the month as historic.
Never before in dozens of cities where long-standing records are kept have March temperatures averaged as warm as they did this past month.
Those cities, several of which are listed below, span at least 26 states from the central High Plains to the East Coast and include Washington, D.C.
For Indianapolis, March 2012 marks the first time a monthly average temperature record has been set since August 1936. The last time such a record was tied occurred 66 years ago in March 1946.
The magnitude of the warmth can be put into another perspective by comparing March 2012 with other months.
In Chicago, March 2012 would rank seventh if it were included in the city's list of top 10 warmest Aprils.
The average temperature this past month in Burlington, Vt., was 12.2 degrees above normal, which is now the city's third-highest temperature departure for any month.
February 1981 remains at the top of that list with an average temperature of 14.8 degrees above normal. Typically in March, the average temperature in Burlington comes out to only 31 degrees.
New York City and Philadelphia came less than 0.4 of a degree from being included in the above list, but have to settle for March 2012 being the second-warmest March on record.
Denver also fell just short of last month being the warmest ever March. However, March 2012 will go down in history books as the city's driest and least-snowiest March on record.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This is a list of neighborhoods in Brooklyn, one of the five boroughs of New York City.
The section of Brooklyn known as South Brooklyn takes its name from the geographical position of the original town of Brooklyn, which today includes the neighborhoods listed above under the heading "northwestern Brooklyn." It is not located in the southern part of the modern borough.
The southwestern portion of Brooklyn shares numbered streets and avenues starting from 36th Street to 101st Street and from 1st Avenue to 25th Avenue, passing through the neighborhoods listed below, respectively.
The original Dutch settlement of what is now Brooklyn consisted of six towns with clearly defined borders. These later became English settlements, and were consolidated over time until the entirety of Kings County was the unified City of Brooklyn. The towns were, clockwise from the north: Bushwick, Brooklyn, Flatlands, Gravesend, New Utrecht, with Flatbush in the middle. The modern neighborhoods bearing these names are located roughly in the center of each of these original towns. Certain portions of the original six towns were also independent municipalities for a time, before being reabsorbed.
Following an 1894 referendum, the entire consolidated City of Brooklyn became a borough of New York City in 1898.
Annexed to Brooklyn in 1854.
Annexed to Brooklyn in 1896.

Lil J Pic

thanks suzanne! i agree that its ok that she changed. but i still don't like her look/style/etc. you are right, thanks! except i still think gossip girl has gone downhill this season.
elise, i don't know what show you've been watching, but jenny only appeared as a sweet girl in season 1, but she was always bitchy inside.
jenny went head to head against b: you have to be just as bitchy as B to challenge her. besides, it's normal that jenny is changes more than other characters; she's the youngest. look at your freshman picture and your high school grad pic. you will be amazed how much you grew and changed over the years.
and GG is awesome like it always's been
ya jenny used to be the innocent brooklyn girl who hated the hierarchy and stuff...now shes turning into a blair-like queen and doing to others what was done to her, which makes no sense b/c she should have changed the way things were run at constance. (like she did when she said "we are all equals" or whatever...who cares what blair thinks? its jenny's time now, so she can run the school how she wants.) i don't like jenny b/c she changed from cute, young, and sweet to a punky gothic girl, and from a nice girl to a b*tch. blair has always been the way she is, but i love her anyway. jenny just dissapointed me because she turned bad. hope GG gets much better!
It's not that people hate Jenny, that's reserved for Vanessa, but people just don't like what they have been doing with her. Her style, her attitude, and finally, the fact that they have no idea what to do with her in season three. At least that's how it appears. Most of us just wish that Jenny was the Brooklyn aspiring designer who admired Serena that we saw before. Not this washed out, Queen J with no real storyline that they're doing.
what the hell is up with the giant white tee? F-U-G-L-Y
Poor, poor Jenny and her little tortured soul... to rule or not to rule?? Oh, high school is so hard... LOL I just re-watched the season 2 finale again this morning. Nelly: What's high school without hierarchy? Jenny: Bearable? A nice place to spend time? LMAO, Taylor's delivery was so perfect on that... THAT is the Jenny we all want to see more of! Come back, come back, wherever you went!
Shes a verrryyy beautiful girl. I love this photo of her(cause shes not wearing all that black shit on her eyes like she did in season 2) :):):):)
-I don't get why people hate Jenny. Of course she has her moments, but if they think jenny's a bitch have they not seen Blair the last 3 seasons?? Blair is not the sweetest on the show either. Don't get me wrong I love both very much, but it seems alittle odd to me how everyone hates Jenny and loves Blair, when Blair has done much worse things then Jenny.
she looks really good....she needs to stay away from bangs and heavy eye make up
she lookes really pretty
Love the make up

Easter devotions are here! Sign up for our Lent and Easter email devotions.
14:28 At the end of every three years. The third-year tithe is mentioned again only in 26:12, and the precise details are unclear. Because it was a special gift for the Levites and the poor, and because the Levitical cities were scattered throughout Israel (Josh. 21), it would have been impractical to take all the tithes at one time to the central place of worship. Thus, these tithe offerings were to be stored in the towns of Israel and used to provide for the needy.

Thanks for the beneficial post (I too printed it out to use daily)
This post couldn't of come at a better time. I had some chips and dip the other day which I had allowed for in my daily calorie intake but I felt guilty and discouraged after for having "given-in" to my food craving. In reality, I should be proud that I stopped after the amount I had allowed myself. This post reminded me that I shouldn't get mad at myself or get discouraged. Thanks for the post. I am also going to print it out so that I can refer to it as needed.

Loved that post. Serve as great reminders. They are also words of wisdom taught by weight watchers. And for any one out there who remembers Dolly Pardon when she was pudgy as compared to the Barbie Doll look she now has. When she originally lost her weight . She very clearly stated she NEVER stopped eating her favorite foods. Just a lot less of it. Sometimes only a taste depending on what it was. And she exercised a lot.
what if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday.
Great post - thanks for the reminders! It's easy to forget that everyone is dealing with food cravings and temptations, not just me. Thanks for posting that again!
Fight for who you are. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow. - Unknown There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ - Philippians 1:6 I will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13:5
Great information. However....for me, as I am still in the beginning stages, I have to shock myself into the change. In other words, if I don't make drastic changes, it becomes very easy to slip back into the old habits. I do think, eventually, I will be able to look at it differently, but for right now...one donut could be the end of the last 3 weeks. Again, this is for me personally...I do not mean to suggest that others shouldn't be able to eat anything they want.

Sorry, I know I misspelled "especially" but now I cant fix it
Edited by: CECIDITULLIO at: 4/26/2008 (19:57) "The recovering woman needs to recognize that her obsession with food and fat does not define who she is. [...] It is something she has learned to use to help her deal with with the emotional distress of being different or feeling misunderstood, unaccepted or overwhelmed"
-Anita Johnston "Eating in the light of the moon"
Wife2Abadge posted this a while ago and I wanted to repeat it especially for new members because I think it will help you sooo much (like it helped me).
From Green Mountain at Fox Run (a sort of spa for people to discover intuitive eating): 1. Think "management" instead of "control." "Control" implies an adversarial relationship with food; it's generally a constant struggle to maintain control. "Management" is much easier. When we manage something, we work with it to achieve our desired results. 2. Eat at least three well-balanced meals a day. Don't skip meals! You'll only be hungrier for the next one. It's a normal physiological reaction to crave food if you're hungry. 3. Give up guilt. One brownie never made anyone fat, but your attitude about eating brownies or any foods you consider forbidden can make you fat. Believing you have 'cheated' on your diet, and therefore having ruined your chances of success, will produce feelings of failure and guilt. Allow yourself your favorite foods in moderation, without guilt. 4. Accept food cravings as a normal part of living in a food-oriented society. Everyone experiences food cravings, regardless of whether they struggle with their weight. The more you understand cravings, the more manageable they become. Food cravings can be caused by physical cues and emotional cues. Although you cannot necessarily eliminate all cravings, you can manage your reaction. 5. Look at cravings as suggestions to eat, not commands to overindulge. Overeating does not have to be an automatic response to craving. Take charge. When a craving begins, determine how you want to deal with it. 6. Believe that cravings will pass. Researchers have found that people believe a craving will continue to intensify until they give into it. In truth, a craving is similar to a wave in the ocean. It grows in intensity, peaks and then subsides if you don't give into it. The more you practice riding the wave, the easier it will become. 7. Disarm your cravings with the 5 D's. Delay - at least 10-15 minutes before you eat. Distract - yourself by engaging in an activity that requires concentration and is not compatible with eating. Distance - yourself from food - leave the room, ask the waiter to remove your plate, take steps (literally) to get yourself in a non-food environment Determine - how important it is to eat the craved food and how much you really want it. Decide - what amount is reasonable and appropriate to start with. Eat it mindfully and enjoy! 8. Stop labeling foods as 'bad', 'illegal' or 'forbidden. It's not the food. It's the manner i which you may consume it and how often you consume it. You can eat some of anything you want - even if it is high in fat, calories, sugar or salt - but if you want to reach your healthy fitness goals, you may not be able to eat all of what you think you want 9. Aim for moderation instead of abstinence. Avoiding things you fear only reinforce your fear. If you think you can never eat certain foods again, you may feel driven to eat as much as you can whenever you can. Explore what you really want. Is it really food? Or do you want well-being too. 10. Exercise regularly. Exercise is the key to managing food cravings. Rather than burn calories, one of the most important contributions of regular exercise is a relief from tension and stress It is also a very healthy way to delay, distract and distance yourself from food. Hope you liked it, and let us know what you think.

LED in cathode
I have read several issues of using LED in the cathode in place of a resistor. The purpose will improve the sound sonically? Does it require to paralell with a capacitor? Is it easy to control the bias voltage and be stable in the long run? Thank you for your informations.

In order:
It depends on the circuit. A LED will generally have a very low AC impedance; that may or may not be a good thing, depending on the design. Generally not. Yes, very stable. The trick is to keep currents through the LED fairly high, 10mA or so for a normal LED.

Re: LED in cathode
"Improvement" is as much a matter of taste as anything, but it does eliminate any distortion that might be generated by a bypass cap. Which leads to your second question: No, a bypass cap is not needed. Some have reported benefit with a small film cap, but given the low impedance of the LED, it's hard to make a technical case for that. It's a try it and see proposition. As for voltage, it's a matter of selecting the right LED, or series string of LED's. You'll generally want at least 5-10mA current through the device (I've had good success with miniature low current LED's at about 2mA). Parallel strings can be used for higher current apps. They are very stable. Sheldon Edit: A good thread for technical info: Red LED noise. |

That is why I don't see the big brands amplifier makers emply this device up to the moment. If led use high current to be stable, then tube selection is a priority. For preamp and voltage amplification in power amp. I think 6dj8, 12au7, 5687, 5842, 6sn7 should be appropriate. Very informative for further experimentation, I just like to improve the sound of my diy 2a3 amplifier....thank you all.

You can run lower current tubes with a LED. Sometimes it works just fine as is, but sometimes, you need to boost the current through the LED a bit. If that's needed, you can do it by bringing a resistor from the B+ rail to the LED-anode/tube-cathode junction.
The non-use of LED bias in big name amps is far more a matter of fashion than it is of performance, cost, or versatility of design.

hey SY, do you get hate e-mails from tube purists?

FWIW, in my 12AT7/ECC81 and 12AX7/ECC83 distortion measurements, boosting the LED current above the idle currents (2 and 1 mA, respectively) made no measurable difference in distortion spectra. I wouldn't have expected that, but there it was.

More on led performance. Have you noted the sound stage dimension and dynamics in the music? And the musical tone is in the warm side... how expressive is the female vocals? I'm looking for red led now, which brand is best? I'll connect 2 in series for about 3volts bias because my present 12au7 is biased that way, will it change with the replacement or need adjustment afterward? Thank you

With advancement in technology and increase in awareness towards modification in standard tablet to achieve better acceptability as well as bioavailability, newer and more efficient tablet dosage forms are being developed. The main reasons behind formulation of different types of tablets are to create a delivery system that is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, provide the dosage form that is convenient from patient's perspective and utilize an approach that is unlikely to add complexity during regulatory approval process. To understand each dosage form, tablets here are classified by their route of administration and by the type of drug delivery system they represent within that route.

Key Phrases O When two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients are needed to be administered simultaneously and they are incompatible, the best option for the formulation pharmacist would be to formulate multilayered tablet. O When we need to release the medicament slowly for long time duration after administration of a single tablet we go for modified release formulation. O When we need to release the API at a specific site in the elementary tract, targeted drug delivery is a preferred option. O Dispersible tablets disintegrate either rapidly in water, to form a stabilized suspension, or disperse instantaneously in the mouth to be swallowed without the aid of water O Sublingual tablet is designed to dissolve in small quantity of saliva and used when immediate action within few minutes is desired. O Buccal tablet is most often used when replacement hormonal therapy is to be administered. O Implants are inserted into subcutaneous tissue by surgical procedures where they are very slowly absorbed over a period of a month or a year. |

The ESRB is always a great place to spot upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles with the word "arena" in the title (Wing Commander Arena, anyone?). Without the enormous lead times of their retail counterparts (see Shadowrun above), these digitally distributed darlings will often sneak in under the radar. Take the Xbox 360 listing for Quake III: Team Arena above. The 1999 multiplayer classic would be a perfect fit for the Xbox Live service (right alongside older brother DOOM), and the newly enlarged 150MB size limit could make it a possibility. Or maybe this is just a retail port, though we can't imagine it faring well in today's competitive FPS environment.
We've asked Microsoft and Pi Studios to comment on the listing.

Longwei Petroleum Expects Revenue Growth Of 26.6% For Fiscal Year 2013
TAIYUAN CITY, China, Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Ltd. (NYSE MKT: LPH) ("Longwei" or the "Company"), an energy company engaged in the storage and distribution of finished petroleum products in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today updated its guidance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Longwei expects revenue growth of approximately 26.6% to $646.3 million, and net income growth of approximately 24.2% to $77.6 million, adjusted for the warrant derivative liability, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The growth is driven primarily by the ramp-up of the Huajie facility and organic growth at the Company's two existing facilities. The Company forecasts it can maintain profitability within the range-band of its historical margins, as proven by its track record during times of volatile fluctuations in the price of international crude oil.
"We were pleased to have closed on the Huajie asset purchase using our own cash resources without dilution to our shareholders, and we are now operational at the facility," said Michael Toups, Chief Financial Officer of Longwei. "We expect meaningful revenue contribution from Huajie beginning in the second half of fiscal 2013 as we ramp up our operations and sales efforts. Based on our experience during the Gujiao ramp-up phase in 2010, we are confident we can develop this new market quickly."
The Company's operations are concentrated in the central PRC, primarily Shanxi Province. Shanxi is the leading coal-producing region in the PRC and a growing economic gateway to central and southwest China. The region is mountainous and has no oil reserves, pipelines or refineries within the province. Therefore, petroleum products have to be brought in from outside of the province via rail or truck, either from refineries in the neighboring provinces or from the relatively more numerous refineries in the coastal provinces of the northeast PRC. Consequently, the Company has committed significant resources to its locations for ease of transportation, logistics and storage. The growing industrial and consumer base within the province is dependent on the timely delivery of petroleum products as offered by the Company.
The GDP growth rate for Shanxi during 2011 was 13%, according to the China Daily ( March 13, 2012), and it is expected to be approximately 10% for 2012, which outpaces the general economic growth estimates of 7.5% in the PRC. The provincial government has estimated the fixed-asset investment in Shanxi to be RMB 5 trillion (approximately $790 billion) over the next five years, according to the China Daily ( September 13, 2011). The provincial government also recently announced an additional RMB 1 trillion (approximately $158 billion) in local development projects as part of the region's industrial stimulus plan, according to China Securities News ( August 23, 2012). The Company believes its locations within Shanxi Province are advantageous to the growth of its business model. "The Huajie acquisition nearly doubles our total storage capacity to 220,000 metric tons and extends our reach into the fast-growing industrial area of northern Shanxi Province," said Cai Yongjun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Longwei. "With the addition of the Huajie facility, we have strengthened our lead as the largest private fuel storage and distribution business in the province and are better positioned to capitalize on the rising demand for petroleum products in our regional market." "As we continue to build upon the strong foundation we have established over our 17-year operating history, we remain committed to servicing our customers, increasing transparency in our reporting, and building value for our shareholders," added Mr. Toups.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I am optimistic about this challenge... I am...
I am optimistic about this challenge... I am hoping to meet someone who is solid,sharp,independent, has his world in order and knows what he wants out of life. Fun loving with a sense of humor, yet sophisticated. Easy-going. Even-Tempered. I see myself with the same qualities I would like in my partner. I would love to meet that chance encounter that I can share my hopes and dreams with. I have strong family values,and a wonderful family. Many friends that have been in my life since childhood. I enjoy cooking,entertaining, socializing,movies,the arts. good food and wine....having that special person to enjoy these things with is what I hope to find.. I've been abroad...Italy, and Spain were my furthest and most interesting destinations...the ocean on the beach is a favorite... but simple weekend trips can be fun when you get time in the busy schedule...Chicago to a lake house can be wonderful. Quiet time with a good book . I love spending time with my kids more than anything. My life is full but I would be thrilled to find the icing on the cake.
