Highland Park is a suburban municipality in Lake County, Illinois, United States, about 26 miles (42 km) north of downtown Chicago. As of the 2010 census, the population was 29,763.[1] Highland Park is one of several municipalities located on the North Shore of the Chicago Metropolitan Area.
Highland Park was founded in 1869 with a population of 500, and evolved from two settlements: St. John and Port Clinton.[2] The town also annexed the village of Ravinia in 1899.
Highland Park has several attractions including a vibrant downtown shopping district and the Ravinia Festival. Ravinia Festival is an open-air pavilion seating 3,200, which hosts classical, pop and jazz concerts in the summer. It has been the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1936. Concert-goers can purchase seats in the covered pavilion or tickets to sit on the lawn. Many visitors arrive early and picnic on the lawn before and during the concerts.[3] The Ravinia Festival is located in the Ravinia District, originally an artists' colony which still retains much of its early character and architecture.
Highland Park has several landmark structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places, notably the Willits House by Frank Lloyd Wright. In addition to several houses designed by Wright, the National Register lists homes designed by prominent architects including John S. Van Bergen, Howard Van Doren Shaw, Robert E. Seyfarth, and David Adler. Landscape architect Jens Jensen lived in Highland Park and designed a number of projects in the community that are listed on the register.
Highland Park is located at 42°10′57″N 87°48′25″W / 42.18250°N 87.80694°W (42.182525, -87.807052).[4]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 12.2 square miles (31.7 km2), of which 12.2 square miles (31.6 km2) is land and 0.039 square miles (0.1 km2), or 0.27%, is water.[1] Its geographic features include a 100-foot-high (30 m) bluff running along 6 miles (10 km) of Lake Michigan shoreline and deep, wooded ravines extending up to 1 mile (1.6 km) inland. Elevations range from 580 to 725 feet (177 to 221 m) above sea level.
As of the 2010 United States Census,[5] there were 29,763 people residing in the city.

Highland Park is considered a Democratic stronghold, perhaps due in part to its significant Jewish and Hispanic populations, traditional Democratic constituencies. Highland Park voters overwhelmingly broke for Illinois Senator Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, choosing him over Arizona Senator John McCain 76.3%-23.1%. Highland Park voters also tend to prefer Democrats in local races. However, Republican Illinois Senator Mark Kirk is also from Highland Park.
At the state level, Highland Park is a part of the 58th House District, represented by Scott Drury (D-Highwood), and the 29th Senate District, represented by Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield). At the county level, the city is split between Districts 11th and 12, represented by Steven Warren Mandel and Mike Rummel, respectively.
The international headquarters of the Solo Cup Company was formerly located in Highland Park, before relocating to neighboring Lake Forest in 2009.
The main highway in Highland Park is US-41, which connects Chicago to Milwaukee. Commuter rail is available at four Metra stations within city borders (Braeside, Ravinia Park, Ravinia, and Highland Park), as well as two in nearby Highwood (Highwood and Fort Sheridan) on the Union Pacific/North Line, which begins in Chicago and terminates in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Pace also offers several bus routes. Boat launch facilities are available along Lake Michigan. O'Hare International Airport is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) south and slightly west.
Highland Park is popular with professional athletes, as the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Bears practice facilities are nearby in Deerfield and Lake Forest, respectively. The most notable resident was Michael Jordan. His 56,000 square foot home is on several acres behind large iron gates bearing the number 23.[7] In December 2003 Jordan's home went up for sale for $21 million[8] but the auction went without a winning bidder, the price of the home has since been dropped several times and a new auction will be held in November 2014.

Wildfires in Alaska and western Canada were particularly intense in the summer of 2004, largely because of unusually warm and dry weather. To quantify carbon monoxide emissions from the fires, the research team used a remote sensing instrument known as MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) that is operated by NCAR and the University of Toronto and flown on NASA's Terra satellite. The scientists simulated the transport of the pollutants emitted by the fires and the resulting production of ozone with an NCAR computer model called MOZART (Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers).
The team confirmed its results by using numerical techniques to compare simulated concentrations of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere with measurements taken by MOPITT. The researchers were able to get further confirmation by analyzing data from aircraft-mounted instruments that were taking part in a field project over North America and Europe.
Pfister says the team is continuing to look at data taken last year at observing stations as far away as the Azores in order to track the movement of carbon monoxide and ozone from the wildfires. As a follow-up, she and other scientists plan to use a similar combination of observations, modeling, and numerical techniques to look at both natural and human-related emissions of carbon monoxide in South America.

Audience Reviews
Another stupid movie about a psychological experiment that makes no sense. The men in the roles of prisoners are a bunch of imbeciles in every way imaginable and the ones playing guards are sick sociopaths, so what is the point here? Even worse, though, is the terrible ending.
- blacksheepboy, Friday, November 12, 2010
A must-see film that's as riveting as it is frightening. A disturbingly intense, gut-wrenching and hard-core edge of your seat physiological thriller that will blow your mind completely. A taunt, brutally sadistic, exciting, bone-chilling and utterly exhilarating film from start to finish. A hold on to your breath ride that's full of heart-pounding suspense and stellar visuals. A pure knockout of a thriller. A powerful and extremely well-crafted film. Brody and Whitaker give incredible performances. Adrien Brody is electrifying, he brings a great amount of emotional vulnerability as well as fierce intensity. Forest Whitaker is unforgettably menacing, he gives an absorbing and terrifying performance. A rocking tour de force of a film. Director, Paul Scheuring has crafted a tremendously well-done movie that just shouts classic with powerful velocity.
- allan913, Thursday, November 4, 2010
Cast: Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Cam Gigandet, Clifton Collins Jr., Fisher Stevens, Maggie Grace, Travis Fimmel, David Banner, Ethan Cohn, Jason Lew Director: Paul Scheuring Summary: Thriller about a group of ordinary men who volunteer to take on the roles of guards and inmates in a mock prison as part of a controversial psychological experiment. When Barris (Forest Whitaker) and the other guards abuse their power in unnerving ways, Travis (Adrien Brody) and his fellow prisoners stage a revolt. Maggie Grace co-stars in this film based on the infamous real-life 1971 Stanford prison stunt. My Thoughts: "I am fortunate to not have seen the first made version of this film. I was unaware there was one made before this one in the first place, but I don't like comparing films to the one's that have came before it. I thought the film was intense and shocking. Great acting. Adrien Brody was ridiculously good in this. Seems Whitaker went a bit bat-shit crazy a bit too fast. Just shows you what a bit of power can do to someone when they start believing they are holier then thou. Things get a bit crazy and people turn into animals. Great film. A must see in my opinion, and knowing its based on true events is what makes it shocking."

Geshe Sopa Tribute
"We should be very harmonious and try to help each other. We should ask: How can I help? How can I serve? What is the best thing? What is not good?."
Geshe Sopa
I didn't come here to give a speech. I came here to participate in the ceremonies for Lama Yeshe, and Lama Zopa requested me to say a few words of advice to you as I have been Lama's teacher for a long time. We have known each other for a long time as teacher and student, in Tibet, since he was a young boy, and we have always had a good relationship, since then right up till now. I have nothing much to say, just a few words, maybe.
During these past years Lama Yeshe has done so much beneficial activity for so many people, especially in the West. In fact, these two teachers, Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa, have done such a wonderful job. The result is everywhere in the West – so many centers, so many students who follow the teachings seriously.
And because of all this activity the students have such a wonderful opportunity to meet other teachers, to receive many, many instructions and teachings. Even in Tibet we didn't have that kind of opportunity! To have high lamas teaching all the time and giving high initiations, to have all this available is very, very rare.
So, when I see what has happened in the past few years, it makes me really happy, and I feel such admiration for Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa and for their students. It is very difficult to follow a new religion coming from a different culture. It is not easy to accept and to follow deeply, but I see so many of you people are doing so, enthusiastically and with faith. I am really amazed when I see all this, and I rejoice and am very happy.
Now, Lama Yeshe has passed away. While he was alive I think he always wanted to go to the West. It began with a small group in Nepal, then spread everywhere like fire. People would go back to their countries and they wanted to continue the same kind of tradition, the same kind of teachings, the same kind of atmosphere. And so for their benefit Lama Yeshe sent so many teachers. And so the teachings spread everywhere.
We have a saying in Tibetan that means that the dharma, the teachings, is the only medicine to completely cure misery and suffering. So, if the teachings survive and spread everywhere there is great benefit to everyone, the most excellent way to serve the people. The dharma only leads to the highest goal, happiness, it does not bring suffering or turmoil; it is the cure for suffering.
This was Lama Yeshe's goal, and when he saw the teachings spreading he was very, very happy. He was happy when he saw all the places and the people following the teachings, people dedicating themselves and making sacrifices to help develop the teachings, not for themselves only but for the benefit of others. I can see this. I can see so many people really dedicating themselves towards the spreading of the teachings. All the centers, the people working to fulfill the wishes of the teacher. That is a wonderful thing, and I admire all these people, all of them. So now, Lama Yeshe has passed. But everybody hopes that the people, his students, will still continue to follow him and his teachings and try to develop the organization that he started in a right and proper way towards the goal that he wished to accomplish. His favorite son, Lama Zopa, is alive and here still and he can continue to help you people and teach continuously. I hope you will seek teachings and advice from him in the same way as from Lama Yeshe.
One of the main goals of the Buddhist teachings is the development everywhere of peace and calmness. So, we people should try to develop and practice the teachings. There are so many different traditions, different levels, and you should follow whichever without too much mixing. They all have the same goal, but sometimes mixing them just doesn't work, like trying to get somewhere by car, then airplanes, then walking; mixing the systems is sometimes not a very good thing. So, if one follows a pure system then one will accomplish one's goal.
There are many students everywhere at all the centers that Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa have established. It is so important to be very, very friendly towards each other, like children of the one spiritual father. We should be very harmonious and try to help each other. We should ask: How can I help? How can I serve? What is the best thing? What is not good?
We humans, we have such intellect; we can do so much if we think and examine in the proper way. If we have an earnest attitude towards whatever has to be done then we can accomplish an enormous amount. Because of our intellect we can also accomplish evil; humans are more powerful than any others. We should use our human intellect to achieve a spiritual goal, for the benefit of others and ourselves.
Therefore I think that harmony between religious friends, religious brothers and sisters is so important. To feel that we can help each other, to find the best way to help, that is one of the goals.
Of course, human beings sometimes make errors. When we see errors, problems, we can try to solve them. We can help each other to solve our problems, like brothers and sisters taking care of each other. This is so important. This way, we will be helping to continue Lama Yeshe's projects. Already you will have experienced this generally, so we should continue to do, dedicate ourselves towards this goal: that would be a very excellent thing.
Of course, I know that so many people are working very hard and very earnestly to achieve his goals; putting their bodies and minds towards these goals. I hope everybody will follow in the same way to fulfill Lama Yeshe's wishes. Each group should concentrate on doing whatever they can, each in their own way, developing. They should do things in the best way they can without interrupting others, but also to share good ideas and to help each other, that would be very good.
So, Lama Zopa is still here. Several yea ago Lama Yeshe was with me in Madison and he was visiting hospital and having serious examinations and tests to decide whether or not to have the operation on hi heart at that time. Anyway, then, I knew that he had the strong, strong wish to take care of Lama Zopa. Lama Zopa is very young. However, even though he is young he is one of the young lamas who is special He is a great practitioner, he has studied seriously and practiced seriously, and c teach other people. I think everybody see this. Anyway, Lama Yeshe wanted him to be successful, to be beneficial continuously.
It is important to help Lama Zopa; certain areas he needs help. Already so people are a little bit worried. However, should keep it in mind. His activities everywhere are great, sowing seeds everywhere for the development of the wonderful spiritual teaching that is most beneficial to sentient beings.

May there be no war, disease or natural disaster such as fire, flood, earthquake and so forth. May everybody realize bodhichitta, the good heart, enjoy peace and happiness and as quickly as possible realize the wisdom directly perceiving emptiness, cease all their defilements and achieve enlightenment.

Venus admitted herself in a press conference that when she took off all that time between memphis and miami it caused harm to her game. In order for Venus to have a successful first half of the season she needs to play more in the fall. Play some of the European Indoor Tourneys that way her game wont fall off so much from not playing.... I feel if Venus gets serious in the fall like Serena did in the fall before the Serena Slam and winning the YEC she will have a more complete year. I feel once Venus does this her came will be as solid as it was before and we could possibly see her winning the AusOpen and The F/O. I hope she plays at least 2 or 3 indoor tourneys as well as qualifies for the YEC.

oppa gangnam style song download mp3 original versionHynotist Next DoorThis is an extended adaptation of a story I read online many years agone. It stuck in my head and I added to it and embellished it in my own ultra-raunchy way. Reading the amazing erotic tales posted here by DizzyD427 and Kinkybelle have inspired me to finish my version of this one and download it. Really, this is solely the 1st of several chapters. I'll flesh out and download the others as time permits.
My s****r Brooke p 110During the time that I'd at no time performed this routine in advance of, I'd seen it many times, so I joined her on the dance floor. We danced jointly, with me following her lead. The crowd started singing and clapping along as we danced. I just now noticed that the DJ was playing the longer version of the song, the one from the movie, which lasts over four and a half minutes. I wasn't sure I could keep up this aerobic routine that lengthy, but I was giving it my most good try.
When A Fantasy Become's Reality!!!As I mentioned in my profile I used to, still occasionally do, write sexy adult stories for ladies and like minded couples and in return they would try some of the things I wrote about and some even sent pics and movies to show they had a nice time enjoying those stories.
So I've decided to download some of those stories to watch if u like 'em and if u do, feel free to message me and let me know what u think and if u feel that way inclined, send me a photo or 2 in return for the goodwill gesture I've given u! My s****r Brooke p 80I didn't especially wanna drive coz I was sure there'd be tons of beer there, and I didn't wanna risk getting stopped on the way back to the hotel after the party.
Looking at the flyer, I noticed that it was nondescript. It implied that the party was hosted by the college, but after the discussion with the men at the school, I was sure it was a frat party. The presentation of the flyer, I was sure, was to lure unsuspecting gals. RAW The Sex Magicians part Two p 3When this guy crept out the back door in the darkness, the sign was down and in it is place an improved surrealist version concocted by himself:
NO SALES PERSON MAY LEAVE THE FLOOR OR LOOK OUT THE DOOR Out of PERMISSION OF A SUPERIOR-THE MGT. Markoff Chaney returned to the store several times in the next not many weeks testing out his experiment. It was as this guy expected: the sign remained. Cuckold Humiliation p 2A group of men surrounded 'em and they groped and dry humped the gals for the rest of the song. I went over to a table and sipped on my swallow during the time that I watched. They danced for a pair of hours and then the song "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails came on and Christina grabbed one man during the time that my wife grabbed some other. They smutty danced with their partners and actually ground into every other during the part of the song that goes "I wanna fuck u like an a****l...
My wife copulates youthful dark man and leaves me p 3In advance of that night I was always in the room during the time that this babe was fucking and sometimes even participating. From that night on I can solely hear from some other room.
We got a baby (not a dark baby but our baby) 5 weeks agone. In one week this babe will be able to fuck afresh, and I desire her to fuck a dark man in advance of this babe copulates me for the 1st time after the birth. Friday Night p 18The chorus ends and the song proceeds into the verse.
Sir pulls my hair, lifting my head from the floor with one hand and cups my sex with the other. I'm so juicy. This guy lazily circles the aperture of my butt, lubricating it with my own arousal. This guy places tiny bites on my cheeks as this guy proceeds to juicy his fingers and circle me. Just as the line of the song begins in advance of the chorus, this guy spanks me hard and then inserts a finger into my butt. Aunt Abby and The Artist (Part II)This is the continuing saga of Abby and her nephew. During the time that it's a work of fiction, it has been inspired by and dedicated to my dear ally Abby Rhodes, in case u haven't already figured that out. I had intended on uploading some of her pics with her permission, but they wouldn't download, so if u would like to watch greater amount of the incredible woman who inspired this piece of reality-based fiction, here is her page.
RIDING WITH A TRUCKER p 37They lazily danced that way and rubbed their hands up and down from their partner's haunches to their breasts and back down. They turned the sweethearts around and kissed 'em unfathomable nearly like it was choreographed. Annette let her hand go to Jerry's crotch. This guy was getting hard and this guy was large. Then the song ended the men took the hands of the gals and lead 'em to the patio. The guys switched partners so Annette was now with Frank.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The flux unit or jansky (symbol Jy) is a non-SI unit of spectral flux density,[1] or spectral irradiance, equivalent to 10−26 watts per square metre per hertz.
The flux density or monochromatic flux, , of a source is the integral of the spectral radiance, , over the source solid angle:
The unit is named after pioneering US radio astronomer Karl Guthe Jansky, and is defined as:
Since the jansky is obtained by integrating over the whole source solid angle, it is most simply used to describe point sources; for example, the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources (3C) reports results in Jy.
Jansky units are not a standard SI Unit, so it may be imperative to convert the unit to Watts. However, other unit conversions are possible with respect to measuring this unit.
The flux density in Jy can be converted to a magnitude basis, for suitable assumptions about the spectrum. For instance, converting an AB magnitude to a flux-density in microjanskys is straightforward:[3]
The linear flux density in Jy can be converted to a decibel basis, suitable for use in fields of telecommunication and radio engineering.
1 Jansky is equivalent to -260 dBW/m2/Hz.[4]
The flux to which the jansky refers can be in any form of energy.
It was created for and is still most frequently used in reference to electromagnetic energy, especially in the context of radio astronomy.
The brightest astronomical radio sources have flux densities of the order of one to one hundred janskys. For example, the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources lists some 300 to 400 radio sources in the Northern Hemisphere brighter than 9 Jy at 159 MHz. This range makes the jansky a suitable unit for radio astronomy.
Gravitational waves also carry energy, so their flux density can also be expressed in terms of janskys. Though gravitational waves have never been directly observed, typical signals on Earth are expected to be 1020 Jy or more.[5] However, because of the poor coupling of gravitational waves to matter, such signals are difficult to detect.
It is important to understand the meaning of the per hertz component of the jansky unit. When measuring broadband continuum emissions, where the energy is roughly evenly distributed across the detector bandwidth, the detected signal will increase in proportion to the bandwidth of the detector (as opposed to signals with bandwidth narrower than the detector bandpass). To calculate the flux density in janskys, the total power detected (in watts) is divided by the receiver collecting area (in square meters), and then divided by the detector bandwidth (in hertz). The flux density of astronomical sources is many orders of magnitude below 1 W/(m2·Hz), so the result is multiplied by 1026 to get a more appropriate unit for natural astrophysical phenomena.[6]
The millijansky, mJy, was sometimes referred to as a milli flux unit (m.f.u.) in the astronomical literature.[7]
