Welcome to The Park School
In loving memory of Josh Waters, Y11, who passed away on 17th September 2014
"Respect & Achievement for all"
SEN Specialist College for Communication & Interaction - Sept 2010
The Park School has 100 secondary aged students all of whom have learning difficulties. We have a Language Specialism permeating the curriculum with one third of our students being described as having language resource placements.
The school is within walking distance of Woking town centre and is set in a secluded 7 acre site. The school is well resourced and has benefited from an injection of funding from the Local Authority which extended and improved our accommodation. Following sponsorship from HSBC, we have developed a large multi-faith garden which provides an outdoor classroom area with a stage.
The school is included in The Good School's Guide
The Park School lives up to the excellent reputation it has in the community. Staff continually focus on improving the provision for all learners. Excellent curricular plans that link basic skills and personal development to Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural Development provide a central core to the curriculum. The resulting outcomes are impressive. Ofsted
The extraordinarily strong feeling of commitment and a desire to support others forms the basis of why this school is so successful. Investors in People
The ethos of the school reflects the importance that we place on academic, social and emotional development. Our emphasis is on developing individual potential whilst fostering caring and positive attitudes. Students participate in a full range of social activities, visits and outings. Clubs to suit all interests are organised at lunchtimes across the week. We also offer a Breakfast Club every morning. We have a team of staff that provide additional therapy sessions: speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, behaviour support, pet therapy, music therapy including drumming, guitar sessions, horticulture and tai chi, all of which contribute towards individual student development.
"We have both been at The Park for 12 years and in the last year have moved to a very successful model of Co-Headship. We have had 2 outstanding Ofsted inspections and achieved Investors in People Gold Standard. Our dynamic leadership team share a passion for innovation and creativity. We have a stable, highly skilled staff team with developments taking place across key stages and in many areas of the curriculum throughtout the year. Our accomodation has improved and is regularly updated. We have a modern technology block and an amazing music studio. Our most recent development has been the creation of a cafe in the centre of the school, acting as a social hub and learning environment." Karen Eastwood & Paul Walsh:Co-Headteachers
The Park School always welcomes visitors and links with the local community. I hold monthly visiting days for prospective parents so that they can meet me and tour the school. Our students are always keen to show their work to visitors and explain what they are learning. We are very proud of our calm and purposeful working ethos.
We have a very strong behaviour management strategy providing rewards and incentives for appropriate behaviour. We have high expectations and students strive for continual improvement in their attitude, behaviour and work whilst respecting and supporting each other.
We have thriving partnerships with other local schools and offer outreach training to their staff.
Our priority areas for school improvement this year are:
1 - Building Learning Potential 2 - Literacy & Numeracy across the Curriculum 3 - Evaluating our Effectiveness 4 - Spiritual, Moral, Social & Cultural Development 5 - Assessment for Learning
Parents support the school as members of The Friends of The Park Association organising both social and fundraising events.

switched from the whitening powder foundation to this, thinking this would be less thick. however, this is still rather thick but it has great stay-on powder. this gives me zits each time i use it so i have since switched to chanel purete mat compact powder and it is working much better for me.
Great staying power, it blends into the skin flawlessly, the colour looks very natural as if you aren't wearing any makeup and born with a luminous and beautiful skin. Coverage is great and does not look fake, I do not need any concealer at all. The SPF is a plus, although I always put on sunscreen before using it. One good and reliable compact foundation!

I got "Teint Controle Extreme #30" when i'm looking for foundation powder.
I've compared it with other brand before i purchased such as Dior x4, MAC Studio Fix, etc.
Trust me! CHANEL is the best answer if you're looking for powder.
"Teint Controle Extreme" is very smooth and easy to apply!!
It's very long-lasting all day. In afternoon, just use oil control paper or touch up a little, It stays perfect same in the morning.
But if you're looking for fabulous powderlike this but less $ , the answer is "Maybelline Angel Fit" but you have to touch up several times.

This is a good product. Last whole day without looking smudged or fade off. Highly recommended to try.
I have nothing but praises for this product! :) It's the best powder foundation I've come across! I was thrilled when the Chanel website said that it was for Asian skin. :) It makes my skin look smoother-- without looking like I covered my face in it. Totally natural...beautiful. :) It's like being made up without looking overdone. I wear in over my tinted mositurizer and blush for when I go to work. The result is fresh, polished and glowing. :) I love the fact that it has SPF 15 because my skin is protected from the sun when I leave the office. It's perfect for hot, humid climates so I'm confident that my face is never shiny even when it's hot out. My shade is 30 beige cendre. You are in extreme control when you wear Chanel's teint controle extreme! :)
i've just started using Chanel Powder Foundation (or foundation for that matter) so i don't know anything about other powder foundations. but i do know this- CHANEL's rocks!!! big time. i've gotten:
1) Mat Lumiere in #Lumiere
2) Blanc Essential in #Beige Rose
3) Teint Controle Extreme in #Beige Rose
on Teint Controle Extreme (TCE)... this has got to be my FAVOURITE of the three. it's mattifying, it's easy to apply (more powder seems to settle on the sponge with a dab or swipe of the sponge on the cake) and it totally melts and merges with my skin on application.. and becomes my skin. ^_^ skin looks flawless and natural, almost invisible coverage yet matte, if that makes sense. in terms of mattifying effect, in my opinion TCE has the same in coverage and effect overall as Mat Lumiere, but with much more SPF protection. it's my everyday powder foundation. LOVE it!!! for RM 180 for a 13ml refillable, it's worth every cent. will buy and buy and buy again... *totally satisfied* and on the case, the chanel logo is a muted grey... so much chic-er compared to the usual white on black.
UPDATE: one lippie less for the shade. the #beige rose seems a slightly darker tinge than Blanc Essential (which is a rosier, lighter and truer to its name). i think the shade actually makes me look tanned :-(... almost orangey? :-( maybe i should take one more lippie off? :-( i guess MAT LUMIERE is my fav overall now, even with the lack of SPF.

i thought i already found my HG foundation from shiseido pureness mattifying compact.. until i found this! i was running out of my shiseido when i came across chanel counter and A very friendly SA said, "would you like to try our foundation" being curious, i said yes! after the applicaton, i told her that i have to leave coz the effect of foundation or powder on me really changes after a few minutes. so, i went to the grocery and i even had my lunch then. when i went to the restroom, OH MY! my face is sooo flawless and i told myself, this is it! i understand now why chanel is sooo expensive! its for timeless beauty. you'll feel very gorgeous and beautiful wearing it. by the way, chanel SA told me that this powder/foundation is specially formulated for asian. i love love this!!! my new HG!

Great new foundation from Chanel. I like the added SPF! I'm probably just about the oilest person around, and it does control oil very well, I need to blot about twice a day still but hey nothing's perfect!
Interestingly enough, my double perfection compact has the same effect! Not much difference from each other! Both work well when set with loose powder with a sponge applicator or brush patted in.

My new HG foundation!
This is the only powder foundation that lasted on my very oily skin. It was applied to me by Chanel's MA around 6:30PM and eventually I bought is as it was able to cover some of my visible pores on my right cheek aside from hearing my friend rave about this product. And another proof that this product REALLY lasts? I got stranded with my boyfriend leaving me with no other option but to spend the night at his hotel room. I wasn't able to remove my makeup due to the absence of facial wash in his bathroom leaving me with no other choice but to sleep with my makeup on, which I'm very much aware is one of the biggest beauty no-no's by the way.
I already anticipated getting atleast 1 pimple by the time I wake up, but to my surprise when I looked in the mirror this morning when I wake up, my makeup is still the same as last night's! Foundation is still intact, and the same with the blush-on (Also a Chanel blush-on).
I'll give this product 5 lippies but only 3 for the price since it's quite pricey for a powder foundation (about $65USD or Php2850 in Philippine Peso) and it's Chanel so I really expect it to come with a hefty price tag, but then I don't mind spending for a wonderful product like this one =)

Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim, California
W: A. Griffin (2-0)
L: J. Vargas (0-1)
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- At this time of the season, diplomacy can be just as important as pitching, hitting and defense. So even though the Oakland Athletics appear to have a decided edge against the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels, they aren't beating their chests about it.
Josh Donaldson hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the sixth inning, Yoenis Cespedes also went deep and A.J. Griffin pitched eight solid innings Thursday night, leading Oakland to an 8-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels that extended the Athletics' winning streak to eight games."They have a heck of a team, but sometimes you catch a team when they're down and we were lucky to do that," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "They're one of the best teams in all of baseball. So anytime you come in here, you've got your work cut out for you. Tonight our offense has continued to flourish, and that takes some pressure off the rest of your game. This was probably our best game all the way around."This was the first time Oakland swept the Angels in the first head-to-head series of a season since 2003, and the first time the Athletics swept their first series at the "Big A" since 1996. The defending AL West champions outscored the Angels 28-11 and were retired in order in only three of the 27 innings."It's always great to get off to a good start, but you have to maintain it because it's a long season," Melvin said. "If this was in the middle of the season and we had a run like this and they had a poor period, I don't think it would be significant. Those guys will go on a stretch where they play real well."Seth Smith had four hits for the A's, who swept a road trip of six or more games for only the third time since the franchise relocated from Kansas City to Oakland in 1968. They had a 10-0 trip in August 2002 and an 8-0 excursion in April 1981.Griffin (2-0) allowed a run and five hits, struck out two and walked one. The right-hander did not allow a hit after giving up an RBI double by Howie Kendrick with one out in the fourth."I'm kind of at a loss for words, actually," Griffin said. "It's what you always want to go out there and do, just give your team a chance to win. I didn't have a real good feel for the curveball tonight, but I just tried to keep it in the back of their guys' heads and just attack the zone and get ahead of people."Jason Vargas (0-1) was charged with five runs, 10 hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander yielded just one run over 5 2/3 innings last Friday at Texas in his Angels debut, getting a no-decision in Los Angeles' 3-2 loss.Vargas escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second when Smith grounded into a double play. But he wasn't as fortunate in the sixth, when Derek Norris doubled with one out and Donaldson drove his next pitch into the left-field bullpen after going hitless in 11 previous at-bats against Vargas."Vargas has pretty much had our number -- I know he's had my number," Donaldson said. "He's one of those guys who throws pitches that you're never looking for, it seems like. And if you are looking for it, it's just barely off the barrel of the bat. I've got a lot of respect for Vargas. He's probably one of the most underrated pitchers in the game. But we were able to grind some at-bats against him. We hit a couple of mistakes and that was the game."Smith followed Donaldson's first homer of the season with a double, and Chris Young greeted Kevin Jepsen with a two-run double after Vargas intentionally walked his last batter, Coco Crisp. Cespedes greeted Sean Burnett with a leadoff homer to left-center in the seventh, and the A's tacked on two more in the ninth against Jerome Williams."I would like to have that sixth inning back, but that's baseball," Vargas said. "The teams we've faced, they're really good offensive clubs. But I think everybody believes in the team we have."The Angels' starting pitchers in the series -- C.J. Wilson, Joe Blanton and Vargas -- gave up a combined 15 earned runs and 26 hits in 16 2/3 innings, and each of them allowed a home run. The Angels are off to a 2-7 start, the worst since the club's inaugural 1961 season (1-8). The bullpen has a 7.71 ERA over its last six games.A's second baseman Andy Parrino, recalled from the minors after Scott Sizemore sustained a season-ending knee injury on Tuesday, got his first American League hit when he legged out a double to left-center leading off the third inning. He scored the game's first run two outs later on a single by Jed Lowrie.Angels left fielder Mike Trout, last season's AL Rookie of the Year, was moved from the leadoff spot to the No. 2 hole and was 0-for-4. Manager Mike Scioscia, whose offense produced a .120 average with runners in scoring position through the team's first eight games (9-for-75), said he made the move to give Trout more of an opportunity to drive in runs.Trout was in the starting lineup 138 times last season following his promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake on April 28 -- all of them in the leadoff spot -- and finished with 83 RBIs, 30 homers and a .326 average. He started in 40 games two seasons ago and batted everywhere in the lineup except third.Game notes
Two-time NL Gold Glove 1B Albert Pujols dropped Parrino's foul pop with two outs and runners at the corners in the fourth, but C Chris Iannetta was right there to make the grab before the ball hit the ground. Iannetta was 0-for-3 and is hitless in his past 17 at-bats. This was the first time Oakland began its road schedule with more than five consecutive wins since 1990, when the A's won their first eight. Their next road trip will go through Tampa Bay and Boston. The Angels, who finished five games behind Oakland last season, already are 5½ games behind the A's. Angels 3B Alberto Callaspo was 0-for-3 in the leadoff spot before leaving in the eighth because of tightness in his right calf.

Currents in Contemporary Art
Currents in Contemporary Art: Process and Materials
The OMA has been collecting contemporary American art for more than 30 years. A hallmark of contemporary art of the past three decades is its diversity and acceptance of varied approaches to creating art. Today artists employ a wide range of expressive strategies in creating their work. Modes of expression can include representational imagery, pure abstraction or elements of both. Additionally, artists often borrow styles and imagery from art of the past, other cultures and popular media. Among the artists who will be represented in this exhibition are Ursula von Rydingsvard, John Chamberlain, Frank Moore, Therman Statom, Chuck Close and Howardena Pindell.
*Please note that this exhibition is subject to change to accommodate special events.

Sewing tutorials. Make a Custom Pair of Tap Pants. By Haley Pierson-Cox For me, summer in NYC means two things: 1) I will eventually wear a light skirt into the subway when my hands are full, and 2) on that day, when I step onto the stairs of the station, a gust of wind will come barreling up from below, lifting my skirt and showing my backside to anyone who cares to look.
This year, on the very first nice day, my skirt flew up not once, but twice. In the same commute. Grumbling and scrambling to pull it down, it hit me: I definitely needed a pair of tap pants. Make This Look. Sarah at Welcome to the Good Life. WOO HOO!
Call me a big nerd but my heart's pounding because i'm so excited and honored to be here!!! My name is Sarah and i keep a blog over at Welcome to the gOOd life. it's a diary written by me (and sometimes by my hilarious husband) of the good and the ugly as a wife, a stay at home mom, raising two kids under three-just a year apart, and also my weekly DIY sewing projects. so should we get on to my DIY project? Inspiration: squeezebox top from anthropologie picture from an anthropologie review blog.

Michael O'Neill is hoping Malta can provide another personal milestone when they face Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
In the friendly at Ta'qali National Stadium in Valletta, O'Neill is looking for his first win as manager at the eighth attempt, and the side as a whole are overdue a victory having not won a game since a 4-0 victory over the Faroe Islands in August 2011.
Malta has been a good venue for Northern Ireland, who have managed five wins and a draw from their six previous visits, and in 1989 it provided a notable first for O'Neill as he netted his maiden international goal.
Goalkeeping coach Tommy Wright made his international debut in the same game and kept a clean sheet while assistant boss Billy McKinlay scored his first goal for Scotland against Malta.
O'Neill has come away with draws from four of his seven games, including in Portugal, and anything other than a first win on Wednesday would be a disappointment.
He said of the winless run: "It doesn't keep me awake at night, but the players want that as well. The players know we have to get back to winning games.
"They're disappointed and, whilst we've been happy with a lot of the performances we've had in the qualifying games, we've been disappointed with the results.
"This will not be an easy game, if you look at their results you can see that. They're a very well organised team, they've got an Italian coach so they'll be very well drilled I'd imagine.
"It's a good test for us. For the younger ones I think it's quite a nice environment to come in and play. If you haven't played that much international football, this is quite a good place to come in and dip your toe in the water."
Malta have not managed to win a point in their World Cup qualifying group yet but have had reasonably close games with the Czech Republic and Italy while they beat Liechtenstein in their most recent match.
Northern Ireland have picked up three points in Group F from draws with Portugal, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan, with the latter two probably ending their hopes of appearing at the finals in Brazil in 2014.
As well as looking for a first win under O'Neill, tomorrow's match will also provide a much-needed opportunity to try out options for next month's qualifier against Russia.
Striker Kyle Lafferty and defender Chris Baird are both suspended for that match and were not included in the squad for this game.
The travelling party has a youthful look to it and a number of players could make their debuts, with Inverness' Billy McKay probably the most likely.
The 24-year-old striker is the leading scorer in the Scottish Premier League this season, while Tranmere's Adam McGurk, Josh Magennis of Aberdeen and Walsall's Will Grigg are also contenders.
O'Neill said: "I'd rather both Kyle and Chris were available for the Russia game and then they'd be here with us, and the hotel would probably not be as quiet. But, at the end of the day, that's the scenario.
"The players are well monitored. We know the likes of Billy McKay, William Grigg, who come into contention along with Niall (McGinn) in a central role, even young Josh Magennis who's played in a striking role for Aberdeen.
"We've watched them consistently over the season so they're not an unknown quantity for us it's just for some this is the first time we've had the chance to work with them.
"Adam McGurk is an example of that. It's always different when you work with players as opposed to just watching them play for their clubs.
"You see different attributes in them and you see things in them that give you things to think about when it comes to selecting your team.
"So it's a combination of trying to get as many players game time as possible without disrupting the whole team and making sure we're in a position to get what we want out of the game."

More complaints of disability-related job discrimination were filed last year than ever before, new statistics show.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received 26,379 claims of job bias citing disability issues in fiscal year 2012. That's up slightly from 25,742 filed the prior year.
Of the disability-related cases handled last year, the EEOC said they found that allegations in 5,907 had merit.
Aside from disability, the EEOC monitors employment discrimination complaints based on a variety of factors including race, sex, age, religion and national origin.
Overall, the number of job bias complaints filed with the EEOC was down somewhat in 2012, with a total of 99,412 charges filed by private sector workers. Disability claims, however, have increased every year since 2005.

Thus, my introduction to the revivified Downtown also involved a French dip. Late one night, several years ago, the great restaurant critic Jonathan Gold, now at the Los Angeles Times, took me to Cole's, the other centenarian lunch counter that claims to have invented the sandwich. We had already been to a pop-up restaurant on a block populated by zipper and fabric shops in the nearby Fashion District. Gold led me down a dark deserted street past the Cole's neon sign, through the empty front room, and to an unmarked door. He knocked, and we were admitted to a turn-of-the-century speakeasy. This was The Varnish, the bar Cedd Moses opened in 2009, bringing the serious cocktail movement to Los Angeles. Unlike most L.A. spaces, it was small and intimate. The booths were filled with good-looking young people in groups of two and three. And unlike most Angeleno barflies, they seemed to actually be getting drunk, which suggested they lived within walking, or at least short driving, distance. The suspendered bartender took approximately two hours to make each drink, but they were sensational. Once again I felt like I was in a city.
Out front, Cole's Red Car Bar is charming in its own right, serving a fine old-fashioned, which seems to be the Downtown drink of the moment. And the cognoscenti, Gold included, seem to prefer the revamped Cole's French dip, served on pillowy bread, with a side dish of dark, salty jus instead of being pre-dipped.
So be it. The new Downtown is stimulating, captivating, and in nearly all ways a vast improvement on the old. But in the matter of French dips, Philippe will always have my heart.
It's a measure of how fast-moving the development of Downtown has been that The Varnish now practically qualifies as an institution. So, too, does the Standard hotel. I spent a week there early last year, using it as a home base while I explored the neighborhood. The hotel is housed in the old Superior Oil building, cloaked in twelve-story panels of creamy marble. It has a Warby Parker booth in the lobby and a Ping-Pong lounge where the balls bounce around like quarks in the black light and are scooped up by net-wielding cocktail waitresses. On the room phones, there's a button marked "Fluffer." (Push it and you hear moans and heavy breathing.)
Everybody I talked to that week, from chefs to developers to residents new and old, seemed firmly convinced Downtown was the new frontier. The Arts District was exploding. Massive new buildings, like the seventy-three-story Wilshire Grand Center and the quarter-mile-long complex called One Santa Fe, were on their way, while nearly every old one was in the process of conversion. On the ground, though, it all still felt disconnected and notional. There were nodules of life, but the streets in between were still largely empty at night; you still spent an inordinate amount of time in your car between stops. And while there were a number of excellent new restaurants and bars, few if any passed the all-important L.A. test of whether you'd brave traffic to get there.
Ten months later, I rented an Airbnb in a building of converted lofts off Spring Street. There were reinforced concrete beams and exposed sprinklers above—the ubiquitous canopy of Downtown interiors—and buses wheezing and moaning below. Across the street was a twenty-four-hour bodega; around the corner, a falafel stand, three bars. There were muffled sounds and smells from behind neighbors' doors in the hallways, interesting-looking girls in the elevators with their dogs. (Downtown's developers have been deliberately dog-friendly in a crafty bid to encourage street traffic.) There was a stack of take-out menus on the counter and a pile of leftover soy-sauce packets in the fridge.
Are these the things that made Downtown suddenly feel like a city? Was it the new T-shirt-and-text-message-ready abbreviation (DTLA)? The penetration into that secret harbinger of gentrification, the sitcom? (As Friends was to the West Village, The New Girl is to the Arts District; its loft is located at Traction Avenue near Third Street.)
Around the loft were blocks that felt like snapshots of 1970s New York: weird, crumbling arcaded alleys made to look like old village streets and stretches of colored terrazzo sidewalk along which I half expected to see somebody carrying a huge boom box. There were businesses that had no earthly right existing in 2013: pinball arcades, bars offering "hostess dancing," accordion shops, an entire block of sewing-machine emporia.
All around the Historic Core, you see marble lobbies, hidden ballrooms, and grand balconies—all the trappings of early-twentieth-century architecture as sacred civic space. You grow accustomed to old bank vaults, with their ponderous doors and intricate tumblers, repurposed for other things: coat checks, stations for artisanal-noodle pulling, darkened make-out rooms. At The Last Bookstore, an extraordinary store on the corner of Spring and Fifth, 4,000 square feet of the mezzanine—vaults, balconies, hidden passages, and all—has been turned into a cavernous maze of $1 books.
Amidst all that, I was at the epicenter of Downtown's very current, quickly maturing dining scene. In one direction lay the duchy of Josef Centeno, a pioneer of Downtown, who opened Little Tokyo's meat-heavy Lazy Ox Canteen as executive chef in 2009. Two years later, he moved to the Historic Core to open the massively celebrated Bäco Mercat. ("Bäco," a contraction of "global taco," is Centeno's proprietary flatbread sandwich.) He was in search of a space with good bones, something more distinctive than the strip malls and low-rises, and a rent that allowed him freedom to experiment. He settled on a block of Main Street, between Fourth and Fifth Streets, that felt like New York's SoHo. "If all else failed, if we ended up with nothing but a hot plate and paper cups, at least we'd still have a good storefront," he says. "And it was a good enough deal that it could be a failure for a while. One bad weekend wouldn't shut me down."
All else didn't fail; Bäco Mercat became both a hub for the growing Downtown population and one of those rare destinations Angelenos from other neighborhoods felt compelled to drive to. A year ago, Centeno followed up with Bar Amá, which plumbs the safest genre in all of restaurantdom: Tex-Mex. (When every clever, sophisticated food trend has beaten itself against the shore and disappeared into history, there will still be beans and melted cheese.) And then, with Orsa & Winston, Centeno pivoted into fine dining, trading the buzzy clatter of his other joints for a cool gray room and a series of tasting menus featuring Japanese- and Italian-inspired dishes.
Without Centeno's mini-empire, there wouldn't be the string of galleries, shops, and other restaurants that has come to connect the surrounding blocks. Everywhere now you see young, pretty people: on the streets, in the bars, streaming out of their loft elevators. Downtown's new denizens are overwhelmingly single, employed (nicely employed; the median income is near $100,000), and between the ages of 23 and 44—they eat out, drink well, and socialize like the city is their playground.

According to some observers, Korea has the distinction of being the most wired country on the planet. You can get crystal clear cell reception from a Buddhist temple in the mountains, which we discovered during our stay at Woljeongsa temple in the heart of Odaesan national park on the eastern coast.
Seeking a respite from the frenetic pace of Seou, we have come in the hopes of a tranquil space to decompress and reflect. ("Bali bali!!" or "hurry up!" is far and away the phrase you hear most frequently on the streets, the metro, and in the markets.)
Marveling at the ornate decoration of the temple buildings, we make our way past images of demons intended to scare the evil out of us and settle into our rooms. These are bare except for a couple of small bolsters and many quilts that serve as both mattress and covering.
For all their austerity, the rooms are made cozy by the heated floors (called ondol in Korean and still in use since their introduction in the first century BC). Here we luxuriate for an afternoon nap. This practice is de rigeur, we quickly learn, when you're going to get up at 4 am for morning (or is it night?) chanting.
It's become quite popular for serenity-seeking Koreans and Westerners alike to come for an temple stay, offered at many temples throughout the country. We strike up an acquaintance with the head monk who is leading a group of orange-robed lay people in a month-long program. We learn he is a former member of the Korean special forces who converted to Buddhism after certain experiences about which he remains as silent as, well, a Buddhist monk.
We are invited to practice sitting meditation with the group and later for a hike into the surrounding peaks. We are put to shame by the vigorous pace of local ajummas and ajeoshis (aunties and uncles).
After an all-day outing, nothing is so delicious as simple vegetarian temple food—all locally grown—and barley tea.
Where do you go to find your inner peace?
So, Irving walks into a Bar and sees an old Bar Fly named Emma that he has known for years ... Feeling a little randy, he starts a conversation as he sits down next to her ...
IRVING: Haven't seen you in a while, we should spend some time together and catch up ... How do you feel about Sex ???
EMMA: I like it infrequently .......
Irving: Good! So, is that one word, or two ???
I think Jalopkin's joke is a very good one indeed even on hte wrong page!
In the wine and cheese...
Taking long solitary walks...
Serenity can come from the oddest places, and any action can become meditation. Think about sitting in the sun on a warm porch, with a dog resting its head on your lap. Petting the pup's head relaxes and centers you more than it does the dog. The repetative nature will lull you into a state where thought becomes unneccessary. I've reached that same state while throwing hay bales, mowing a lawn, or stirring my special homemade fudge.
But I would love to visit a temple for a retreat. Mr. P., if you are ever in need of a travel companion and wine taster, let me know.
lulu: Thank You ... It pays not to answer a Phone when you're tired, and still working, and in the middle of a thought .......
COYOTE: Have you ever experienced the Serenity of being at Sea, nothing but water for a thousand miles in every direction, slipping along at about twelve knots, going away from an Orange, Purple, Gray, Blue Sunset ??? I love to be Steamin' ... one of the things I miss about the NAVY ....... Sometimes after the Sun goes down you can see St. Elmo's Fire ... one of the most amazing phenomenae I have ever seen ... watching little Balls of Light skip across the surface of the water, and finally jump up on either side of the very top of the Jackstaff ... glowing brighter and brighter for about ten seconds, and then going out, just like a Light Bulb ....... And it is so quiet out there, that even with the wind rushing past your ears, you can heart your own heartbeat .......
I think I'll get off this blasted computer and take myself a little motorcycle ride instead!
Jalopkin: I haven't been there, but I have been in a similar situation . . . in a sea of grass. The waist high stalks move in the breeze, and there is simply nothing out there to remind you that there are other people in the world.
i use altered states daily for many of the purposes below, & mostly to step outside external time/space into creation of my own seperate , inner reality . No particular beliefs besides conditioning by basic Western culture--it's really necessary for folks like me to go inside regularly for nothing & for balance & self-support/stress managment.
seems to me all altered states have more in common that not--paths to 'em vary, & depending on training/expectations they're experienced & used differently. " Altered state " just means real different than u usually are--that's a scientific definition, believe it or not. once there inside, u canuse that variation as u chose- just notice..., find patterns,,,yr deeper self/unconscious/soul(whatever its label, they seem the same to me), explore possible paths, access resources not usually available in ordinary consciousness, re-program/change yr self toward more desirable goals, calm/recharge yrself, --the possibilities are endless.
It's useful & important to view such internal experiences as no-more "Real" than our other experiences, which also depend pretty much on our interpretations of them.
Nuff--tx for the forum to resonate/relate to.b serems i lost my comment on creationism vs Darwin --darn.

Data and analysis from the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO show further warming of the atmosphere and oceans in the Australian region, as is happening globally. This change is occurring against the background of high climate variability, but the signal is clear. Air and ocean temperatures across Australia are now, on average, almost a degree Celsius warmer than they were in 1910, with most of the warming occurring since 1950.
This warming has seen Australia experiencing more warm weather and extreme heat, and fewer cool extremes. There has been an increase in extreme fire weather, and a longer fire season, across large parts of Australia.
Rainfall averaged across all of Australia has slightly increased since 1900. Since 1970, there have been large increases in annual rainfall in the northwest and decreases in the southwest. Autumn and early winter rainfall has mostly been below average in the southeast since 1990.
Atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise and continued emissions will cause further warming over this century. Limiting the magnitude of future climate change requires large and sustained net global reductions in greenhouse gases.
The Bureau has been observing, reporting and researching Australia's weather since 1908. CSIRO has been undertaking atmospheric and marine research for more than 60 years. Together our scientists continue to build the body of knowledge that allows people to understand the changes in our climate that we are observing and prepare for any future changes.

Biographical/historical note
Ellen Black Winston was born in Bryson City, North Carolina, on August 15, 1903. She received an A.B. from Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1924, an M.A. from the University of Chicago in 1928, and a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago in 1930. She held honorary doctoral degrees from the Women's College of the University of North Carolina (UNC-G), Converse College, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, and Springfield College.
Winston taught social science in the Raleigh high schools and was editor of technical publications on public relief in the Division of Research of the Works Progress Administration. She then became the Chairman of the Department of Sociology and Economics at Meredith College from 1940 - 1944.
In 1944 Winston became the North Carolina Commissioner of Public Welfare, a position she held until 1963. In that year she was appointed the U.S. Commissioner of Welfare in the Department of Health Education and Welfare. She resigned in 1967. Among her many career highlights, Winston served as President of the National Conference on Social Welfare (1965 - 1966), Vice-President of the Child Welfare League of America (1966 - 1972), President of the Friends of the Library at North Carolina State University (1971 - 1973), State Legislative Chairman of the American Association of University Women (1975 - 1979), and President of the Raleigh Chamber Music Guild (1976 - 1978).
She was the American editor of Nation and Family (1941) and coauthor of Seven Lean Years (1939), The Plantation South (1940), and Foundations of American Population Policy (1940), as well as numerous professional articles. Winston's husband was Sanford R. Winston, a professor of sociology at North Carolina State University. Mr. Winston died in 1969, and Mrs. Winston passed away in 1984.
The Ellen Black Winston Papers documents Winston's personal and public life. Included is correspondence written by members of Winston's family, and many letters and cards of sympathy written after the death of Winston's husband, Sanford. Other personal materials include genealogical information and photographs, Winston's masters' dissertation, and a collection of postcards collected during her travels with Mr. Winston. The collection also includes newspaper and magazine clippings covering nearly forty years of Winston's career and Winston's Watauga Medal given by North Carolina State University in 1979.

The Family series includes correspondence sent and received by various family members (not necessarily Ellen Black Winston). Several documents pertain to Winston's father, Stanley W. Black, a prominent businessman in Bryson City, North Carolina. His handwritten, uncompleted autobiography, as well as clippings collected following his death, attest to the importance of Black in his community.

Also in this series are materials related to Winston's service for the Friends of University Network Television.

Remember Al Gore, Press Pariah? The Al Gore derided as wooden and pompous and, worst of all, boring?
Well, Press Pariah, meet Captain Planet. While Saturday's Live Earth concerts, as Curtis Brainard noted, got largely cynical reactions in the press, Gore—environmental advocate, Oscar winner, Geldofian concert coordinator—received treatment that generally ranged from subtle endorsement to all-out, Keats-on-uppers-style odes. Media coverage of Live Earth's poster child suggested, oddly, that the only thing hotter than the world's climate is Gore himself.
"On Saturday," began Salon's Live Earth analysis, "Al Gore simultaneously took over and saved the world." See the article for more in this vein, but here's the kicker: "Al Gore demonstrated nicely that the truth, however inconvenient, will eventually set you free."
Sheesh. You keep waiting for the punch line, for the revelation that the cock-eyed hyperbole is a postmodern, self-referential joke. Instead, we get a description of Live Earth as both spanning the globe and spinning on Gore's unlikely axis. No irony here (unless it's so meta- or sub-textual as to be undetectable): the adulation is genuine.
The Salon piece, while more histrionic than most, isn't alone. In its coverage of Live Earth, and of Gore's environmentalism generally, the press has created a shorthand for his public moth-to-butterfly metamorphosis by way of the many frames and nicknames it's given him: Gore the prophet. Gore the "culturally cool" icon. Gore the "coolest ex-vice president ever." Gore the "heartbreak loser turned Oscar boasting Nobel hopeful globe trotting multimillionaire pop culture eminence." (Yep, seriously. In The New York Times.) And the most common motif of all: Gore the rock star.
Wait—Al Gore, rock star? Really? The Al Gore whose preferred instruments are a MacBook Pro and PowerPoint slides? The Al Gore who's happily married…to someone named Tipper?
The current "rock star" descriptions could, on the one hand, reflect a kind of narrative relativism: Gore, especially given his role in the Live Earth concerts, is much more rockin' now than he was in the past. One might argue that all the rock star portrayals are simply comparative, that they adulate "Gore 3.0," as Rolling Stone had it, simply because his beta version was so flawed. (And the press, like everyone else, is entitled to change its mind; Eliot's "decisions and revisions" are not only the stuff of life, but also the stuff of journalism.)
On the other hand, implicit in this attitudinal transformation is the idea that Gore has undergone a fundamental shift in character somewhere in the course of his image revamp. It's not a matter of what he did then versus what he does now; apparently, it's a matter of who he was then versus who he is now. As The Huffington Post's Richard Greene wrote last year, "Al Gore, left to his own devices, left only to his own very deep and honest passion, has had a spiritual and political transformation."
Maybe. Gore does seem to have come into his own now that he's relieved of the pressures of the campaign trail. Yet one's character doesn't change overnight, or even, in any real sense, over the course of a few years. And even if Gore's somehow has, the adulation so many in the media are giving him is still extreme. The fawning press coverage and their subject, new-and-improved though he may be, simply don't match up.
One explanation for the coverage turnabout: old-fashioned guilt. We—the press and everyone else—treated Gore-the-environmentalist like we treated the environment itself: when we weren't ignoring him, we were taking him for granted. Now, as we confront the myriad unpleasant realities accompanying climate change, we are also sheepishly confronting the fact that we could have realized the extent of that damage—and begun to rectify it—much, much sooner. Politicians are scrambling to pass emissions legislation. Scientists are contemplating the uses of alternate energies with a zeal once reserved for curing diseases. Companies are churning out new environmental policies as quickly as they (still) do carbon gases.
The nostra culpa issued, we're now looking to redress our wrongs. And one immediate, if tangential, way to make amends to the environment is first to make amends to its modern-day Cassandra—to the character who has been predicting our smog-obscured future all along from behind the wheel of his hybrid car.
So Gore's press-christened nickname—"Goracle," natch—speaks to more than copy editors' love of a good pun. It speaks to a newfound respect for a man who, in spite of a political system that nearly demands positional oscillation, stuck to his ideological guns when it came to the environment. It speaks to a widespread belief that Gore was, as The New Republic declared, "right about everything, or at least everything that mattered: the war, global warming, the federal budget, the radicalism of the Bush presidency."

I need advice on how to really come out.
I am a gay 19 year old and I came out to my parents almost two years ago but they don't believe I'm gay. They have always told me that no matter what, they will support me and love me no matter what choices I make and they've said in the past that they wouldn't care if one of they're kids were gay, but obviously they do care.
When I came out they told me that they don't believe I'm gay and that they think I'm confused. They havn't mentioned my sexuality since and still point out girls and hint at girlfriends, etc. And if I mention having kids in the future my mom gets quite excited, hoping I would have them with a woman.
This is frustrating especially because that I havn't gotten up the courage to actually tell them that it doesn't matter what they think, I am not confused, I am in love with other men.
I also need help with coming out at work...
I've been working at my job for almost a year and a half and its in a field that I would like to have a career in in the future. My boss' are awesome. They have taken me under they're wing and Im sort of an apprentice and they're showing me the ropes and providing me with training and oppurtunities I can't find elsewhere.
I'm afraid that if I come out that they may treat me differently and It will effect my relationships at work and my career goals.
If any one could help me and give me tips and support it would be much appreciated!
adressing both of those....
my mom did the same thing. She told me I was confused and that i'll learn soon enough that guys are better. I don't know a parent that does what their kid to be gay, and even though they say that it'd be okay with them it really isn't when it comes right down to it. They have this dilusion that their kids are going to have this perfect life, and gayness usually doesn't factor in to that; it catches them off guard, so they choose to not believe it. As for the love/support part, they weren't lying about that. My mom doesn't like or believe that i'm lesbian, but she'll always love me and support what i'm doing if she thinks its not going to harm me. You just have to sort of live with the fact that your parents probably won't believe it until it smacks them in the face (for example, you introduce them to your boyfriend of five months, six months, etc.) and even though that might scare them, they'll always love you.
As for the work thing, don't make your gayness a public announcement. Make it a subtle thing. If someone asks a question directed towards you about your love life, just roll with it. say something like "well, my boyfriend/the guy i like...." it's a subtle way to show people that you're gay and comfortable with it. They might stop you mid-sentance and ask straight up if your gay, and just reply yes and keep going. Or they might just catch on and go with it. You shouldn't make it a big deal, because then everyone else will make it a big deal about it too. If you run into chicken house screaming, all of the chickens are going to scream and run too. But if you walk in calmly and quietly they're probably not going to freak out. Bad analogy, but you get it right?
Hope this helps.
~ It's a cosmic joke that I'm a lesbian, because I understand men so well but women are a complete mystery to me.
Thanks PI, Thats pretty much what I am going to do with both situations, I guess I just needed some reassurance.
My parents will realize sooner or later that yes I am gay, whether its when I introduce them to a boyfriend, when they see me kiss a boyfriend, or one day when I'm engaged to another man.
And with work they seem to really like me and I've never mentioned a girlfriend or previous girlfriends and they know I'm into things that the "typical" straight guy is not. So it will all come together sooner or later, it's just all a little frustrating at the time being, so thanks!
No problem. Sorry for making you read my little rant though, I'm just kind of passionate about the whole gay rights/coming out thing lol
~ It's a cosmic joke that I'm a lesbian, because I understand men so well but women are a complete mystery to me.
If your parents don't believe you, there is an easy solution. Do you have a camcorder?
I'm always out at work, and at this point, I don't come out. I just am out. I just started a new job, and people ask if I have a girlfriend, and I just reply, "I'm gay, but I don't have a boyfriend." I always figure it is better to surround yourself with people in your personal and work life whose support is conditional upon you having to lie.
"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." - Kurt Cobain
I agree with Jeff on being out at work...If any one asks if you have a Girl Friend, then just simply say that your gay and dont have a boy friend at this time, and keep on doing what you were doing as if nothing happened.
As far as the parents are considered, do you know a good friend who is also Gay? If so then ask him to come over some time and hold hands ( pre arranged between the two of you) and sit real close on the couch and watch a movie when the parents are around. Thus you will put it right up front. Only do this once, and then when you do get a perm boy friend you will feel more comfortable doing that in front of them as they will not be so shocked shall we say. As you know all parents want grand children to spoil. To have a "Gay" son means to them no grand Children, or so they think. They do not think of adoption or the like. That is why they never seem to except a gay son. Just remember that they do really love you, and want only the best for you. You just need to show that being gay is the best for you.
Good luck and God bless
Genius is not a sign of intelligence, but rather
that of common sense. Humor is the best pain pill.
