family of four
Sealife at Nature's Valley
Some of the wild animals we saw in South Africa
So there we have it. Unbeknownst to some of you (though certainly beknownst to others), we have returned from our 8 month tour of duty and are now domiciled back in the UK. Just in time for both Easter and the Queen's birthday- events which are always marked joyously in our household.
Before extrapolating on what the trip did for us, and what we gained (and perhaps lost) from it, it is important to fulfil the requirements of a travel blog and relate the events of the last few weeks in South Africa (the astute reader will have ascertained that, whilst this is apparently brought to you from Brazzaville, it, in fact, isn't).
When we last spoke, family of four had just arrived in Durban. Actually, it was Umhlanga, a beach resort about 15 kms north of Durban, but the website didn't have it listed as a place. We spent a week there, relaxing by the pool (Claire and I), running around with lots of other little people (Mia) and running around with lots of other little people occasionally, but generally more interested in playing with toy cars (Jake). It was nice, a chance to unwind a bit after

the stress and hectic, fast pace of the previous seven months. Also, the place we were staying had children's activities three times a day, which gave Claire and me a bit of a break from the kids. And vice versa. We did venture in to Durban a couple of times (much to my Durban-dwelling aunt's amazement: "No-one goes into the city any more!" she told us, "Everyone goes to malls now!").
Our first visit took us to Minitown which, as the name kind of suggests, is a town- only in miniature. It is also slightly run down- whether due to lack of visitors (we were the only people there on the day we went) or lack of funding is unclear- probably both- but it retains a certain kitsch value if one is a fan of kitsch. Indeed, that entire area of Durban (North Beach, if you're interested) is slightly run down, so in that respect Minitown is simply conforming to type.
Our next trip into the city was far more rewarding. We went to uShaka Marine World, a fantastic park consisting of an aquarium built into an old shipwreck and a Wet'n'Wild water park with large twisty slides,
The beach at Port St. John's
Frequented by people and cows
swimming pools and kamikaze plunges. The aquarium was excellent- meticulously laid out, with a huge array of sea creatures. After the disappointment of Singapore's aquarium, we had sworn off the places, but this one was well worth it. The only irritant was the ubiquitous dolphin display. I don't like the enforced cheeriness of the handlers, the anthropomorphism of the dolphins, or the "green and clean" message spouted by people who will then drive away in their 4x4s, an essential requirement in the urban jungle of Durban. However, the displays are not compulsory. Obviously. The slides were superb, too, and I went on every one. Twice. Mia also went on most of them, and we had great fun shooting down slides such as the Mamba, the Anaconda, the Cobra, the Kamikaze Head Case, the Knee Breaker and the Chaffinch.*
Claire, after doing the bungee jump, took Jake on the White Water Raft ride and in to the Swimming with Sharks cage.**
Once our week in Umhlanga was up, we headed into Zululand. Destination- Hluhluwe/ Umfolozi. We went because South Africa's oldest Game Reserve is there, but even if it wasn't, with a name like that, we had to visit. Hluhluwe
Giant's Castle National Park
In the Drakensberg
is actually a Zulu word which means "Meeting place of the animals amongst the trees where the wind blows" (or something similar) and is pronounced Shushluwe. Whilst in the area we stayed at Hluhluwe Backpackers, a rather strange establishment on the side of a hill on the pot-hole ridden road to the gates of the park. We were the only guests, and you had the feeling that not many people had ever stayed there. The dorm we slept in would have felt a little cramped if all 6 bunks had been in use- one would have to have very few inhibitions if sharing with a bunch of strangers. It was initially friendly enough- the owners were genuinely helpful and cooked us a braai (a South African BBQ) the day we arrived- but as our stay wore on, it felt as if a façade was slipping. The husband had the look and glint in his eye of a man who would happily shoot you if he felt so inclined whilst his wife spent most of the time smoking and close to tears. We had no need for an alarm as their morning arguments were sufficient. As an analogy, think The Shining
White rhinos
You can tell because of their colour. Or something.
without the blood in the lift or the writing on the wall. Or the mad axe man, but that was possibly not far off.
By contrast, the day spent in Hluhluwe/ Umfolozi was fantastic. We went with a tour guide, for a couple of reasons: first, the size of the park meant that without a guide you could be driving all day without spotting anything; second, the jeep we were driven in was raised at the back to provide a higher view; third, one of us would not have to miss out by concentrating on the driving; and fourth, it seemed easier. We saw plenty of animals (although, as at Addo, we missed out on the lions). There were giraffes, white rhinos, cape buffalo, chacma baboons, vervet monkeys, nyalas, a crocodile, a spotted hyena, monitor lizards and all manner of birds, the names of which escape me as they are not as interesting as huge mammals, The white rhinos were perhaps the most impressive: we came upon a family of three at very close quarters- so close, that Wessel, our guide and driver, felt it pertinent to reverse rather quickly. The prime reason for this was, actually, not

Strolling through the bush
due to the proximity of the beasts, but the fact that the young rhino was less than a day old, and mothers are rather protective of their newborns. It was a joy to watch (from a safe distance, of course) as they ambled down the path and across the river bed. I am sure Mia and Jake would have enjoyed it too, if they hadn't flung themselves on to the floor of the jeep the moment Wessel mentioned that there was a small possibility the mother could charge. Time for an interesting fact- the white rhino is not white. It is grey. The black rhino (which are in the park, but far more solitary and less easy to spot) is not black. It, too, is grey. The difference between the two types is that the white rhino has a wide mouth. Someone, somewhere, once upon a time, misheard "wide" as "white" and thus a name was born. The white rhino is also one of Africa's Big 5. The Big 5 are not so-called because they are the biggest creatures in evidence (which is what I had always thought, for want of a better explanation). No, the Big 5 are the

Big 5 because in the golden era of hunting (if one can be so kind as to proscribe hunting with a golden era), the Big 5 were the 5 animals deemed most dangerous to man. They are elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion and leopard. Of these, we were reliably informed by Wessel (and this may explain Mia and Jake's desire to remain hidden for much of the time we watched the rhinos), the buffalo is extremely aggressive and bad-tempered; the rhino will charge if it feels threatened, and can charge at speeds of up to 50km/h; and if an elephant is wronged by a person, it will forever harbour a grudge against humans. He also told us that whereas it is possible for someone to survive a rhino attack, and even a lion attack, he has never heard of anyone surviving an elephant attack, and if an elephant feels like walking through your car, there's not a lot you can do to persuade it otherwise. Which pretty much answers the question we posed when at Addo. On a final, cheery note, he did tell us that while hippos killed the most people per year in Africa, this was mostly due to
Sun, sea and sky
A study in grey
the people being in the way of the hippos rather than anything especially malicious on the hippos' part. That made us feel much better.
Since the trip to Hluhluwe, Jake has become a little bit obsessed about whether particular animals can bite us. Including dinosaurs ("No, dinosaurs can't bite us because they're all dead." "But little ones don't bite us do they?" "Little what?" "Dinosaurs." "No, little dinosaurs don't bite us because they are all dead. All dinosaurs are dead." "But could they bite us?" And so on). He also asked, apropos of nothing, whether moles had mouths.
Whilst in the Hluhluwe region, we took a cultural tour of Dumazulu. This was one of the villages set up in the region to cater to tourists and give an indication of what life was like in a traditional Zulu village. It was interesting in a vaguely voyeuristic way, but what I found harder to deal with were the Saga tour from the UK also there, some of whose number felt the need to crack unfunny, somewhat offensive jokes whilst being shown around. It was not the kind of thing we normally do, but as there was very little else
Exercises on the beach
At Cintsa
to do in the locale, and we had no desire to sit around the Backpackers waiting to be gunned down in a hail of bullets, it filled a couple of hours. And, whatever else we felt, the money we paid goes to the locals in a region that is poor even by (black) South African standards.
Not having had our fill of wild animals at Hluhluwe, we proceeded on to St. Lucia, to see for ourselves those savage killers, the hippo. It's hard to believe they are capable of such a thing, when you see them wallowing in the water, poking their eyes above the surface to watch the boat go past. When they frolic and play fight, and open their mouths to reveal their enormous teeth, it's a little easier to believe. As well as hippos, we saw some enormous crocs- the estuary at St. Lucia is one of the last places on earth you would choose to swim- and another great variety of birds, including the biggest wading bird in the world, whose name escapes me. The Greater St. Lucia Wetlands (to give it its full title) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprising five different ecosystems,
Wet, muddy and shouting at grass
the estuary being one of them. It is a beautiful part of the world, with stunning beaches, crystal clear sea, mangrove forests, grasslands and, further north, swamps. All of which house a diverse range of flora and fauna. It was also very hot. In a nice way.
All of this brought us very close to the end. Despite our week in Umhlanga, we were tired again, so we went back there for another five days before heading up to Jo'burg for the flight back to London. The drive to Jo'burg was an experience. Driving in South Africa can be hair-raising at the best of times, but as this was the start of the Easter weekend, hair was that little bit more risen (an apt analogy for the time of year, it could be said). The majority of traffic was heading in the other direction- to Durban rather than away from it- and we saw the aftermath of some fairly horrific looking pile-ups on that side of the road. We later heard that the day had seen something ridiculous like 1300 accidents. Fortunately we were not involved in one, but we did get lost in Jo'burg trying to find our
Wet, muddy and pink
hotel until a kindly lorry driver, having seen Claire and I getting a touch heated, gave us inch-perfect directions from the spot we were to the spot we needed to be.
Jo'burg has an awful reputation- the city centre and some inner-city suburbs are no-go areas, car-jacking and muggings are rife, people are shot for their wallets or less…the horror stories go on and on. It is a shame, and whilst these things do clearly happen, there are some good things about the place. Attempts are being made to clean up and regenerate the centre, with some businesses already being enticed back. And there is the new Apartheid Museum which, frankly, is unmissable. It's not, however, a place for kids, which left us at a bit of a disadvantage, as we have two of them (with another on the way. That makes three. Good God, what have we done???). It is at turns shocking and uplifting, charting the history of South Africa from the time of the first settlers, through the Zulu wars, the Boer Wars, the rise of the Afrikaner movement, until the implementation of, and ultimate destruction of, the law of Apartheid. As I said, unmissable.
Howick Falls
In, er, Howick...
And so, after an 11 hour flight, which saw Jake being sick three times, Mia watching cartoons to the early hours, Claire being extremely uncomfortable and me trying to watch Transamerica and missing the crucial middle hour or so, we arrived back in London on Easter Sunday morning. After eight months and seven countries, our trip was over. It was hard at times, but was overall a fantastic, unforgettable experience. There may have been some doubts before we left as to the wisdom of what we were doing, but now there are no doubts whatsoever that it was the right thing for us to do at that time. It has opened the kids' eyes to the world- made them see that there are different cultures, different value systems and different ways of life, all as important and as valid as their own. Claire and I have also gained another baby (or will soon) and had a break and a chance to reassess our lives. Mia has gained wisdom beyond her years (which she always had, so I'm not sure I can count that), a taste for travel and a bizarre cocktail of an accent which veered strongly towards South African
waiting to pounce...
but is now settling back in to a North London twang. And Jake, as well as the taste for travel, has also gained a car from virtually all the countries we've visited, and a small ball of resentment that we didn't do this when he would be old enough to remember it.
Rather than being downbeat about our return to the UK, we are trying to look at it as another chapter in the adventure. Our house is in the process of being sold, so we can, in theory, go wherever we want (although, in reality, we are limited to where I can get a job, but why let that get in the way of a good fantasy?).
As one story ends, another begins. In this one, though, our tans may not be as deep.

What have we learnt?
Well to close a chapter in my life, otherwise known as "the last 8 months", here is a summary of the exciting things that have been happening in the real world; although I have decided to cut it short somewhat and save it for my next novel. Going Away so there I was, jealous as hell, that you were embarking upon an expedition that would open the families eyes to all of the possibilities around the eastern/southern hemisphere be it good or bad. Little did I know that I, and in some cases my family would be doing the same from the comfort of the western world and, block D, row F, seat 32 of Griffin Park: July a pretty uneventful month excluding the daily trudge to work and back which involves stepping over aggressive beggars (one looks remarkably like my dad), sidestepping Eastern European gentlemen demanding a cigarette in pidgin English, getting dirty looks from the assembled school children at the bus stop, hopping on a tube train where the driver takes great delight in a) breaking sharply as the train enters the station knowing that most passengers are standing up and b) with perfect timing, closing the doors on unsuspecting tourists with back-packs (which is actually quite amusing), finding the escalators are not working (not overly pleasant at 36C) and to finish the daily journey, have drunk Antipodeans ask why you are looking so miserable, for those of you that know me, it is the face I was born with, if I smile, I resemble Jack Nicholson's character "here's Johnny" a little too closely. Sorry, forgot one important event where my youngest flashed the dinner queue at school, then told the dinner ladies they had no authority to tell him off. Allegedly behaviour he had copied from me, sort of, and adapted to meet his own aims. Obviously a budding conservative MP of the future. August very similar to the above regarding the daily trudge, but joy o joy, we were off for our annual jaunt to Cornwall to partake in dangerous sports, hoping there would be no injuries this time. Alas, we were wrong, our oldest received a puncture wound to his ankle whilst out kayaking in a local canal, that culminated in a five day stay at our local hospital on a number of drips etc.. due to cellulitis. He is so selfish this one as last year he was stung twice by a weaver fish whilst surfing, and the year before needed stitches to his head after losing control abseiling face first down a cliff. Anything to get the attention of the lovely Claire who works at the centre. At least I learnt that cellulitis is an infection of the skin and not as I had always believed the strange ripple effect found on Linda's thighs. September football season has started, The Bees are going up, Martin Allen's army are here, going great guns, winning games, got a blinding new striker (only cost 5K), happy days are here again. October The Bees are still at it, 3rd in the league and through to the next round in the FA Cup. Linda decides to take a break and see our best man's family in Athens, leaving me with our three boys and a ringing in my ears "don't give them junk food". Which is exactly what I did, as well as taking them to a friends farm where we sent them off with spears to catch rabbits (it's ok they would never be able to catch one, due to the noise they make trudging across the fields). Obviously, I didn't realise how quickly they would "grass me up" once their mother got home. Is two seconds a record? I have been using the collective term for my three of "the Grasses" ever since. November The Bees are still going great guns, 2nd in the league and still in the FA Cup, so I treat myself to a RYA Competent Crew Course with a couple of friends in Lanzarote, as we thought (misguidedly) that the weather would be warm, the breeze light and the sea calm. One out of three wasn't bad though. Suffice to say that our skipper was mad, and had us novice sailors out in a force 6 gale with 30 foot swells, the remark he made when questioned about the merits of life jackets in this type of weather was "well you could wear them, but to be honest you would just drown more slowly as in this weather we couldn't find you once we'd lost you". The valuable lesson we learnt on this trip was .real excitement is brown. Anyway, inadvertently, this also ended up being a break for Linda as she'd had enough of football over the last couple of months. December just a blur really, but it could be old age and selective memory kicking in. I assume it was a good month but only January would tell. January more of a blur, I am pretty sure that Linda is trying to poison me as I wake up with a thick head most days. I did think about reporting her to the local police, but that would leave me on my own with the boys. I think I'd rather be poisoned, slowly, as the boys are in particularly boisterous mood and fighting each other most days. Maybe karate was the wrong sport for them after all. But wait, (I know, never use but at the start of a sentence, but, this is for dramatic effect), the Bees are playing Sunderland at home in the FA Cup. As they come onto the pitch, their players are noticeably larger. One can only deduce that their salaries are enough to eat properly on. We are expecting to be demolished, but as the early exchanges show, they really do deserve to be bottom of the premiership, and our new (this season striker) is terrorising their defence. What happened, well we won, what a delirious day, to find out that star striker has been sold to Birmingham, what a glum day. Not to worry it will be February soon. February very quiet month. The Bees have been comprehensively beaten by Charlton in the 5th round of the FA Cup. I, as is so often the case, after a flagon or three, have agreed to stupid escapade called the Three Peaks Challenge in June. For the life of me I thought it had something to do with a Canadian off the wall comedy/drama. Linda laughed and upped the life insurance. As they say, behind every man (you can fill in your own description here) . March The Bees are still second, with games in hand, although Colchester have caught us up. Surely we will get automatic promotion this year, just don't lose all of the games. So what do they do, lose all of their games in hand, ending on equal points, BUT, our goals difference is much better. April NO, NO, NO, The Bees are now in 3rd place and will have to go through the qualifiers process again. The morons around me are fully confident, me being a fully assimilated Englishman know better, we are rubbish and will possibly get through to the final, but lose anyway. Linda, with our youngest disappear to Japan, staying with Japanese friends during the Hinami festival (Cherry Tree Blossoms). What did they learn there, well, our friends live just outside Tokyo where there are no foreigners at all, hence the constant staring, you are not permitted to smoke anywhere you want, as per the constant no smoking signs in the pavement, yes the houses are really small, the toilets have heated seats, just because you are Westerner doesn't mean you know the inner workings and thoughts of Tony Blair and his government, how to treat your subordinates make them stand under a cherry tree all day to reserve your place. Meanwhile, I took the other two go-karting (only two minor injuries), climbing (1 minor injury), shooting (no injuries things are looking up), the Dali Exhibition (three minor injuries??) and the RAF museum (a heated debate with a little Englander regarding the positive input provided by "foreigners" during the battle of Britain). So what have we learnt through the last eight months; Matt looks the same as when he left, Brentford truly are a rubbish team, you don't need to go far to get hurt, the Japanese really are very different to us and have wonderful toilets, travel writing can be fun to read, but most importantly, never, ever, trust your children to keep a secret.

ROCHDALE made it four league wins on the bounce with a victory at Unsworth on Saturday.
Of all the recent victories this was probably the best as Unsworth were seemingly coasting to victory at 142 for two, chasing a target of 195, with 20 overs in hand.
Jon Hean and Paul Entwistle compiled an opening stand of 120 despite playing and missing several times.
Graham Jones also went well and the odds were on Unsworth chalking up their sixth league win in seven matches.
But after a long spell from pace bowlers Steve Oddy and Jon Henderson skipper Peter Wilcock finally turned to spin, a decision which reaped immediate dividends.
Professional Aakash Chopra caught and bowled both Hean and Entwistle in his first six overs and with Avery, as usual, the personification of economy at the other end, Unsworth's reply began to wobble.
When Oddy returned to the attack the wobble became more of a a skid as Unsworth lost their last five wickets for 15 runs.
Oddy's return for 15 overs of honest endeavour was three for 53, while Avery collected four for 54 as Unsworth collapsed to 185 all out.
Rochdale had earlier been indebted to the batting excellence of Chopra who effortlessly moved to his second unbeaten century of the season.
He scored 105 out of 195, yet again emphasing the virtues of a straight bat and unwavering concentration.
His 50 came up off 72 balls, with nine fours, and his century 22 balls and 44 minutes later.
But what really allowed Rochdale to reach 195 was a swashbuckling 30 off 21 balls from Neil Avery who really took a liking to Badenhorst, smashing him for three consecutive fours.

I received a gift yesterday from a friend(?). Apparently, it was purchased from a multinational corporate chain discount department store that I don't normally shop at and therefore wouldn't have found it myself.

We have been to YlangYlang 4 times and will continue to go there. It is always the highlight of our annual trip to Costa Rica. We love the walk on the beach, the views, and especially the fantastic food. The beautiful landscaping and monkeys always enhance the experience. It is so wonderful to return and have the same wait staff and welcoming reception. It is better to go at the end of your trip, however, because the rest of the your experiences may be not as relaxing or enjoyable. We love Costa Rica and have been there 7 times and this resort is the best of the many we have tried.

My 15-year-old daughter and I wanted to go to the beach for a couple of days, and I am so happy we found Burcliffe by the Sea! The room was clean and spacious (though not updated) and had a lovely patio with a view of the ocean. The owners were courteous and professional, and best of all the beach was beautiful and pretty much empty. Because Burcliffe is not surrounded by other hotels/motels, it really feels like it has its own private beach! Town is only a 5 minute drive away, We will definitely be back!

In a statement, the organisation also claims that Blu-ray player sales fell 27 per cent over the same period, with BD disc sales down five per cent. The group claims to have compiled the numbers from a variety of sources, including NPD sales data and sell-through figures from Hollywood studios.

HD DVD is steadily gaining momentum and market share. With HD DVD players now at prices starting at 299 dollars and with strong marketing campaigns around new titles with web-enabled interactive features, we are continuing to raise the bar for the consumer experience."

When the then Home Secretary, John Reid, declared our immigration operation "not fit for purpose", British taxpayers might reasonably have hoped that such a damning judgement would spur the "wholesale transformation" he recommended. Seven years after his remarks, however, that has not happened.
MPs have found that the total backlog of unresolved immigration cases remains at more than 300,000, and that many of the ills at the centre of the earlier complaints persist. Almost the only area that has registered any improvement, the Commons Home Affairs Committee found, was the ingenuity with which officials disguised their lamentable performance.
No one would contend that policing Britain's borders is simple, or that mistakes will never be made. But from the queues that still routinely build up at ports and airports to the casual appearance and manner of many border officials, the continuing failure to re-establish routine exit controls, the snail's pace at which paperwork is handled, and the propensity for key documents to be lost, the UK Border Agency remains grossly inadequate. This is a service that could and should do much better.
For visitors, the UKBA is the first face of the country they encounter. It should be efficient, professional and competent, and until these qualities are more in evidence, John Reid's characterisation deserves to stick.
MPs were taken to task yesterday for their specific criticism of Lin Homer, the former head of the agency, on the grounds that she left more than a year ago to head HMRC. Their point, though, is that while at the UKBA she "repeatedly misled" them about the agency's performance, and that, rather than being called to account for the agency's continuing faults, she was subsequently promoted.
That someone deemed to have failed at one high-profile government job was elevated to another, with seemingly so few questions asked, is eloquent testimony to what is wrong with the workings of our state bureaucracy. MPs are right to seek accountability in public servants. Moving on, even upwards, should not automatically clean the slate.Reuse content

text: Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A Login Register All Activity Questions Unanswered Tags Users Ask a Question Rules Chat What are the Best trolling Pokemon?! 24 votes 128,922 views Hey guys, came up with a New thread idea as you can see! I've been lookin through Pokemon to see how annoying I can make my teams, and I thought, "hey, why can't other people as well!!". So, this is where you can!! What is a troll Pokemon I hear you ask? Well, it's a Pokemon that is so annoying that it makes your opponents tear their hair out and cry in a corner. It's so impossible to get passed you feel like never ever playing Pokemon again. And it's so funny to use you might die from laughter after seeing the amount of ragequits they cause. So, basically, I want to see everyone's favorite annoying Pokemon and annoying sets to go with it! Btw it can be any tier, but the sets have to actually work and cannot just be "in theory". use your imagination my dear DB fans! Get posting!! troll trachy thread annoying asked Aug 2, 2013 by PX edited Apr 8, 2014 by Pokemaster Show 14 previous comments Disappointment most of these are easily countered by magic bounce and taunt (mega absol is a god at stopping most troll sets) commented Jan 3 by Primarina I'm just saying that if you want to win and annoy opponents at the same time, you'll probably get better movesets by Googling stall sample team. commented Feb 25 by sumwun I like using a Smeargle that knows Telekinesis and Smack Down with Recover and Thunder Wave :P commented Mar 22 by Pokémon Guy Hacked Shedinja with Sturdy Ability holding Lum Berry :) commented Apr 3 by GravMagSavTav123 You know what's trollolololy against trollolololy Pokemon? Taunt! commented May 3 by blissey_boy Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 73 Answers 34 votes I'll start with one that's totally original. I'll bet it's so original that no one's ever heard of it before :3 ... ParaFlinch Jirachi, of course Jirachi @ Leftovers Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Jolly Nature Body Slam Iron Head Wish Protect Umadbro? Abusing the Paralysis and Flinch combo paired up with Wish and Protect, Jirachi will make anyone ragequit :D ____ However, here's another one that I use in UU, and while it doesn't deal a lot of damage, it can be very tanky and you just might find yourself ready to ragequit... RecycleLum Cresselia, of course Cresselia (F) @ Lum Berry Trait: Levitate EVs: 56 SDef / 252 HP / 200 Def Calm Nature Recycle Rest Thunder Wave/Toxic Psychic/Ice Beam/Hidden Power [Fire] Abusing a great move called Recycle, and pair that up with Lum Berry, lol infinite health plus no sleep? Yeah that's trolling ;) While a more tankish Pokemon rather than trollish, infinite health plus wearing down your opponent is awesome. __ Another one called ragequit heaven. While it does have a lot of flaws like hazards, if you can set up this guy is so funny to use :P... Level 1 Pokemon, of course Cottonee (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Prankster Level: 1 EVs: 4 Def / 252 HP / 252 Spd Jolly Nature Leech Seed Swagger/Encore Endeavor Substitute Lol, yeah Cottonee :P So pro unless against substitute or grass Pokemon. Random EV's to outspeed other level 1 trolling Pokemon, but really, EV's don't matter that much. __ Ok, last one. Here's another very original NU Pokemon that's in Troll Central... Pranskter Liepard, of course Liepard (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster EVs: 252 Spd / 248 HP / 8 Atk Jolly Nature Foul Play Substitute Swagger Thunder Wave I'm sure we have all seen or used this Pokemon at some point when you were battling. Yep, the NU trollmaster, Liepard is definitely a trolly Pokemon. Unless, like me, when Swagger never works and the other Pokemon never ever gets paralyzed. __ answered Aug 2, 2013 by Dr.Flame edited Aug 2, 2013 by Dr.Flame Sweet going +1 commented Aug 2, 2013 by PX Dat pic at the bottom got u +2 i thinks commented Aug 3, 2013 by MonoUmbreon he he funny pic commented Aug 3, 2013 by geodudedude Funny pic!cool! commented Jan 4, 2014 by solarSpring Funny 1+ commented Sep 20, 2014 by Legend Of Lotad Hey, with that Liepard, you could run Full ATK, Full SP.ATK and Assist, just saying. commented Oct 7, 2015 by PuffTGD I hate battling the Level 1's... commented Feb 18, 2016 by mkkp nice pic hilarious commented Mar 6 by greninja master Please log in or register to add a comment. 12 votes Haha nubs. This is the best trolling trio for RU :P Must use 3 together ![enter image description here][1] Snover @ Focus Sash Trait: Snow Warning EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Spd Mild Nature -Ice Shard -Hidden Power Fire -Giga Drain -Blizzard Yes I would suggest Snover.... ![enter image description here][2] Solosis @ Focus Sash Trait: Magic Guard LV: 1 IVs: 0 HP -Trick Room -Endeavor trololol. Because of Magic guard, Solosis can come straight in without worrying about loosing it's sash. It can set up a trick room allowing it to move first against neutral priority. This means you can get an endeavor off on the next turn. After the endeavor, the opponent feints to hail as they knock you out. But it doesn't stop there xD ![enter image description here][3] Duosion @ Focus Sash Trait: Magic Guard LV: 1 IVs: o HP -Trick Room -Endeavor Oh yes. With Trick Room still up you can come in and Endeavor on two more Pokemon meaning that you have ripped apart half a team with two level 1 blobs. Why use this over other fear Pokemon? It works. Little in RU can counter this and they have no option but to sack half of their team. It is not only incredibly cheap but hilarious to use. ShakeItUp brought this to my attention :P He managed to peak 1 on the RU ladder within a day or so without even knowing jack all about RU lol The fact the opponent has to sack 3 Pokemon makes the rest of the battle easy.

Just wow. +1 commented Oct 21, 2016 by Valonex I would upvote this, but duosion cant be level one commented Nov 1, 2016 by Mega.Butterfree Please log in or register to add a comment. 10 votes Lugia Need an Uber troll that is so hard to kill it's borderline immortal? Cause I got one. Why is it annoying? Lugia is arguably the most defensive Pokemon in the entire game. It has an extremely nice speed stat allowing it to bring some fast support, access to all kinds of support moves such as Light Screen, Reflect, Toxic, Roar, Substitute, Roost, Calm Mind, Tailwind, and Protect. It harbors insane 106/130/154 defenses, 2 epic stalling abilities in Pressure and Multiscale, and despite its less-than-stellar typing, it'll sponge nukes. Moveset Note that there are a plethora of effective sets Lugia can run, this one is just my favorite. Lugia @ Leftovers Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 Spd Bold Nature - Whirlwind - Roost - Substitute - Toxic This Lugia set is extremey versatile in that it is very resislient with SubRoost, and has the power to ToxiShuffle entire teams to death. Throw in some support sweepers and maybe a few hazards, and you can imagine how Lugia gives many an Ubers player nightmares that haunt them continually. answered Aug 2, 2013 by the_netts Immediate upvote. People have forfeited against me countless times against this thing. commented Aug 2, 2013 by ƒιzz One word counter: Taunt commented Nov 7, 2013 by Collide Used this in many battles, and it is amazing! commented Jun 11 by Valonex Please log in or register to add a comment. 10 votes Hey der, answering it mehself now :D Wanna mess with your opponent? Then feast your eyes!! > Sigilyph @ Flame Orb Trait: Magic Guard EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 > SAtk Calm Nature > - Cosmic Power > - Psycho Shift > - Roost > - Stored Power This, is Cosmic Burn Siglyph. If you ever had the displeasure of facing one of this annoying birds, then you'll know how freaking stressy it is. The idea behind it is Flame Orb burns siglyph in the firs turn, but Sig takes no damage due to Magic Guard. It builds up it's defence and heals it's health on cycle. That it self is annoying as hell, but it gets worse o.O. You shift your burn onto your opponent, not only reducing they're health every turn but reducing their attack to. Unlike W.O.W it's 100% hit rate, so it will always work. Then finally, stored power does large damage to any none dark types. what a troll. Ok guys!! Let's bounce!! (told ya I'll be adding more ;}) Gyarados @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Adamant Nature - Substitute - Dragon Dance - Bounce - Waterfall Hey look guys! It's Let's Bounce Gyarados!!Or subbounce to give it it's technical name, but who cares about technicality's? The idea from this is (Lebnub) that you time you Gyara switch in at the precise moment, carefully picking your spot and charging at when opportunity arises! Or in other words, bring it in either when you are 100% sure the opponent will switch or can't do much to you. First order of business, set up subs to prevent other trollers Burning or Poisoning Gyara, which takes out all the fun, and good chunk of reliability. A heal Bell user might come in handy here. The once the sub is up, you D-dance until the sub gets broken. Then it's your choice, have you brought in enough attack and speed to OHKO? Can you take another hit? Do you want to scout with sub and live another day? Hopefully, it will be teh first one. Flying type, being one of the more uncommon offesnive types, doesn't have a whole lot of counters towards it. So bounce on Gyara will do more damage to more things then most other sets. Waterfall is just an epic backup stab, and helps get rid of rock and steel types a bit easier. Couple of Pokemon that could beat this set? If you can OHKo it with electric moves before it starts subbing thats always a good way. Scarf rotom might be able to outpace with the right nature, and providing gyara hasn't taken up any more than two boosts. Look at me I got another one!! This time, its the Grave Robber!! > Gengar @ Black Sludge Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP > Timid Nature > - Disable > - Substitute > - Shadow Ball > - Thunderbolt / Focus Blast / Sludge Bomb Eat it all you health living things! Being dead is awesome!! Now I can float and pass through walls!! This is Subdiasble Gengar, who as I like to call it, Best Before Date. The point of this is to use Gengars high speed stat to obviously go before the opponent. Hopefully, your opponent will use a threatening move against gengar. At which point you use sub, blocking the move at a little expense. Then, you use Disable. This stops the last move used from being used again, rendering it useless and the Pokemon without a move casuing a switch or having to use less powerful moves, at which point you KO them with some powerful hits. Simple right? :D Unfortunately all is not well with this strategy . For one, your opposition can easily just use a less powerful move, so when it gets disabled they can just use another one for the KO. Scizors Bullet punch will go before the sub and deal very hefty damage or OHKO. And two moves doesn't provide very good coverage unless your using thunderbolt and HP Ice, which while is viable, leaves you without a reliable stab move. Im adding more later but I'm short on time. Thanks for reading!! answered Aug 2, 2013 by PX edited Aug 3, 2013 by PX Show 4 previous comments My pictures are just pictures. I can get better ones. commented Aug 3, 2013 by PX so what im hearing is.... i win? commented Aug 3, 2013 by MonoUmbreon I have a whole team, and I have these pokemon on it, and I have spectacular results with it commented Jun 11 by Valonex Glad to hear the someone is still using these 4 years later :D! Just a tip though, commentating on a 4 year old question/answer usually doesn't get a response back, you're just lucky I have no life and still use this site 4 years on. It does clog up the activity though, which kinda sucks, so it'd be super cool if you could look at the date before commentating?

So it's like a TROLL immune type now??? commented May 18, 2014 by HoennMaster(NOT) If i'm a Normal or Fighting type, then I use Taunt, then turns out I have Fairy Wind or something, you're screwed. Especially if I use Mean Look. Don't know if a set like that is even slightly possible. But it's a pretty good set. commented Jan 25, 2016 by mkkp Slightly possible? U must be kidding me, this is the most common set for prankster sableye but with knock off/foul play instead of night shade commented Jan 26, 2016 by Đarkheart Please log in or register to add a comment. 8 votes Ferrothorn, Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers/Rocky Helmet Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spd - Leech Seed - Power Whip - Spikes - Gyro Ball The Immunity to both Leech Seed and Toxic, Makes this wall very very evil and mean and evil. With Gyro Ball as an attacking move your guaranteed a good attack ;) Spikkes is there to make lil ferro more useful... answered Aug 2, 2013 by MonoUmbreon I had a Ferrothorn in Showdown and people were so annoyed by it that I got forfeited 6 times :0 commented Aug 2, 2013 by ①nferno lolololololol commented Aug 2, 2013 by MonoUmbreon My exact set O: commented Aug 5, 2013 by 3خᵭ_ʘƒ_OƈϮᴓȣe٣ * I believe that my face and palm have just gotten engaged* I should have posted this. commented Aug 5, 2013 by 3خᵭ_ʘƒ_OƈϮᴓȣe٣ But people know that Ferrothorn has iron barbs. So why would they ever use a physical attack anyway? Waste of an item if you ask me. Especially since its main weakness is fire, a very common offensive type, usually using special attack. You also have no coverage if your enemy IS a fire type. commented Nov 22, 2013 by BouncingMagikarp Don't use power whip, it has power but not reliable on accuracy, I prefer seed bomb commented May 12, 2014 by Lemonroger Ferrothorn is not the best because it's 4x week to fire commented Apr 24, 2016 by lucario76 Please log in or register to add a comment. 8 votes Magnemite @ Oran Berry Trait: Sturdy Level: 1 EVs: 116 Def / 236 SDef Bold Nature - Protect - Recycle - Toxic - Magic Coat With the right prediction, this thing can stall almost anything into oblivion. It's remarkably difficult to take down, under the right circumstances. It may not have much against Steel and Poison, but it is nevertheless unexpected, unused and undaunted. This set works in every tier above NU since it uses Toxic+Protect and hence isn't dependant on raw power for taking stuff out. The very best tier to use it in is in fact Ubers, where Poison and Steel types are scarse and everything is ridiculously OP. With Magic Coats +4 priority it can severely cripple Taunt and Hazard leads (such as Deoxys and Tornadus), Choiced powerhouses (Zekrom, Scizor and Darmatian for example) and defensive monstrosities (such as Lugia, Jellicent and Umbreon). Bronzong @ Choice Band Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Adamant Nature - Earthquake - Trick - Stealth Rock/ Gyro Ball - Zen Headbutt A odd variant of a common Pokemon, Bandzong does what you least expect it to. Instead of being a good little taunt-bait and run away screaming at first sight of Fire, this guy hits Tauntbats hard and drives Fire type into the hills with E-Q. This set is intended to strike fear into whoever threads into UU. answered Aug 2, 2013 by Flafpert reshown Aug 2, 2013 by Flafpert Sweet going flaf, but could you make it clear what tier you mean? I mean, mag is obvious LC but it still makes it easier or newer users. And (this goes for everyone) put the tier you've built it to work in. Some pokemon uave different sets for higher tiers than its in. +1 tho flaf =3 commented Aug 2, 2013 by PX That Magnemite causes so many rage quits in 1 v 1s I saw someone use it then I started using it xD commented Aug 2, 2013 by JarJar~ Used that maggy in my team for the hacked ability tour :3 It's pretty sweet. commented Aug 6, 2013 by MrKijani Berry juice>oran berry, it can't be plucked or bug bitten commented Apr 21, 2015 by Mr.Trainer29 Please log in or register to add a comment. 8 votes Ok lets write an answer for this. Great question btw! Maximum trolling for nubs Prankster Riolu Never seen this guy trollin? Riolu @ Focus Sash Trait: Prankster EVs: 252 Trollness < With that I mean chose whatever you want :D Speed is recommended Jolly Nature - Copyat - Roar - ? - ? You just need to have entry hazards up and this guy should work wonders. (There is many things that will break this strategy but it is funny to use) Send out your Pokemon with the entry hazards and use the hazard moves. (Spikes, Stealth Rock. Toxic Spikes.) You don't need all of them but never go with just Toxic Spikes. When all the hazards are up wait untill your Pokemon faints. Send out Riolu and use Roar. You have focus sash so you will survive with 1 hp if they attack you. Use Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat and Copyat. Have fun! This shows how Prankster Riolu works __ Next up! Durant! Dugtrio combo. Durant Trait: Truant - Entrainment and this Dugtrio @ Focus Sash Trait: Arena Trap EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Jolly Nature - Protect - Hone Claws - Earthquake - Stone Edge Ok, start with durant and use Entrainment after that just let the Durant faint. When Durant is fainted, send out Dugtrio. The opponents Pokemon has truant and Dugtrio has arena trap. Which means that the opponent can't switch out. Truant causes the ability-bearer to only attack every alternate turn. On the even turns, it will say the Pokemon is "loafing around". Raise your attack with Hone claws when the opponent is loafing around protect when he is able to attack you. Dugtrio will become op with boosted attack and accuracy. GG!

Guess they found this strategy too cheap :P commented Jul 11, 2014 by bidoof4 You can do a sweeping roil if you add a reversal on there, then just copy cat the reversal for priority.

Ludicolo is known in NU and RU as a threatening Rain sweeper capable of some serious damage output, but in OU (where he is most annoying), where Swift Swim is (for all intensive purposes) banned, it takes on a new role in the rain; a freakishly annoying SubSeeder. Why is it annoying? The first reason would have to be his typing. Ludicolo has only 3 weaknesses, 2 of which are fairly uncommon as far as common coverage types (Poison and Flying), and it harbors 3 resistances, 2 of which being Water and Ground, which are some extremely useful resistances to have, as they are very common types. The second and main reason it is annoying is that it has access to Rain Dish as an ability, and Leech Seed as a move. So, once a Leech Seed is up, it will be getting over 25% of its HP back in a single turn between Rain Dish, Leftovers, and Leech Seed. Get it behind a substitute and have it start spamming Protect and Scald, and you have a mighty annoying troll. Moveset Ludicolo @ Leftovers Trait: Rain Dish EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def Calm Nature - Leech Seed - Protect - Substitute - Scald SubSeed Ludicolo. Troll the masses. answered Aug 2, 2013 by the_netts :D good job Ben :3 dont be afraid to post more than once! commented Aug 2, 2013 by PX Ben why u no put answers in one big answer.

Basically, drain your opponent's health to the extent where Poison Heal & Leech Seed are nearly recovering the health taken by your Substitute in turn. OR Techniloom. It's not a classic "Troll" set, but with one Swords Dance set up, it's amazingly hard to get rid of without a fast Pokemon or a priority move. Gliscor @ Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP, 128 Def, 128 Speed Nature: Jolly - Protect - Substitute - Toxic - E-Quake/ Ice Fang Ah. The classic Toxic stall. With Protect & Poison Heal, Gilscor can manage to replenish its health lost from making a Substitute in no time, and proceed to waste an opponent's PP. Due to spikes immunity and Stealth Rock neutrality, Gilscor has plenty of switch in opportunities in which to set up its stalling. Walrein @ Leftovers Ability: Ice Body EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 4 Speed Nature: Calm - Substitute - Protect - Toxic - Blizzard This is the most annoying Hail staller. EVER. I HATE this stupid seal with a passion. Water/ Ice typing grants it only 2 resistance (to Water and Ice), but evens out that Steel & Fire weakness, and gives it STAB to deal with Grass & Rock types. The Stallrein set is basically recovers as much as Poison Heal recovers (1/8 of health) each turn with both Ice Body & Leftovers, while the opponent is buffetted by hail & taking Toxic poisoning. Togekiss@ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 252 HP, 56 Def, 200 Sp. Def Nature: Calm - Thunder Wave - Air Slash - Roost - Heal Bell Jirachi isn't the only Pokemon capable of Paraflinching. With brilliant bulk, Togekiss is able to take quite a few hits in order to set up its Paraflinching. Heal Bell is there to cure yourself of anything with Synchronise. Manaphy @ Leftovers Ability: Hyration EVs: 252 HP, 4 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed Nature: Timid - Calm Mind - Rest - Scald - Ice Beam Hydration means Rest is instant full recovery for Manaphy, in addition to being unable to be para flinched/ poisoned. Pure Water typing means it's got only 2 weaknesses and 4 resistances. Though Tail Glow seems much more appealing, so many Uber teams will carry Rain clearers like Thunder on Plakia, so Calm Mind will be able to stall out threats like Palkia/ Dialga which don't have STAB. Suicune @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp. Def Nature: Bold - Calm Mind - Rest - Sleep Talk - Scald While I wish that Water Absorb was available for Suicune, Pressure is a really great stalling ability, since it means your opponent will run out of PP faster than usual. Calm Mind Suicune is pretty hard to get rid of without Hazers or something that can use Whirlwind/ Roar. Alomomo @ Leftovers Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Atk Nature: Impish - Waterfall - Protect - Wish - Toxic/ Refresh This weird fish is basically a reverse Blissey. Monster HP Stat, useable base 80 defence, it's one of the best Wish passers in the lower tiers and can take hits like a sponge. Depending on what else is on your team, Toxic or Refresh will be better suited for Alomomola. If you already have something to Toxic Spike, then Refresh will be better. answered Aug 2, 2013 by fondant Damn, My Manaphy killed soo much stuff >:D commented Aug 2, 2013 by MonoUmbreon Oh i actually had tail glow on it, but i think CM might be better commented Aug 3, 2013 by MonoUmbreon Walrein's a walrus XP commented Jan 25, 2016 by mkkp Please log in or register to add a comment. 5 votes Can't believe nobody's posted this yet. Vaporeon @ Leftovers Trait: Hydration EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Bold Nature Rest Scald Toxic Ice Beam This set is hell to take down in the rain. Rest fully heals HP and status conditions that would otherwise slowly eat away at its HP. And this annoying staller can do all of that while watching its foe slowly weaken from Toxic or become rendered useless from a Burn. Scald and Ice Beam are the two attacks of choice getting fair coverage and coming off a special attack stat that is nothing to laugh at. I have rage quitted countless times because of this Vaporeon Toxic stalling me to death. answered Aug 2, 2013 by JarJar~ edited Aug 3, 2013 by JarJar~ Oh gawd.... commented Aug 2, 2013 by MonoUmbreon I use this set all the time its so annoying its not even funny commented Aug 2, 2013 by tazzie wait, yes it is! commented Aug 2, 2013 by tazzie These sets don't have to be invincible lol, just annoying as hell :P.

Pain Split anything can take down those Chanseys and Blisseys with ease, so why not a Porygon2 than can eat up the chances of walling of inflicting the chance of being frozen or paralyzed, and possibly poison. I want to keep things real and say: without recover or a counterpart that knows recover, moonlight, etc., Pain Split Porygon2 is going to be difficult to use. This is why I want to introduce a decent counterpart to the Pain Split Porygon2: Skarmory (Ironclad) @ Shell Bell Trait: Sturdy/Weak Armor EVs: 252 Spd/252 Atk/4 HP Adamant Narure Night Slash Roost Iron Head/Steel Wing Drill Peck/Rock Slide I know this seems a bit undercooked, but with Recover, Roost, and Pain Split, the team healing can stall ( and troll) 'em mad. As a bonus, this team is almost a core team. Emphasis is on almost. Also, another way to troll with this duo is when Skarmory knows Whirlwind, Spikes, and Stealth Rock to go along with Porgon2's Toxic. answered Aug 2, 2013 by Troll Patrol This is quite good, but it does say to please make sure sets are tested out.

Xatu @ Leftovers Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 240 SDef / 252 HP / 16 Spd Calm Nature Roost Night Shade Thunder Wave Confuse Ray It mainly focuses on Parahax, and spreading paralysis onto the team members as they switch to cure themselves from confusion. With some prediction (which isn't difficult), you can paralyse an entire team, and then focus on parahaxing with Thunder Wave and Confuse Ray. Healing job goes to Roost and then to infclit some last minute damage, Night Shade makes life hell, and is in theory Xatu's strongest offensive move, without investment.

Who forgot about Parahax Klefki? Ok, so this set is OU for those who wanna know. . . . The Troll Set Key to Trollin' @ Leftovers for some good healing. Ability: Prankster is for going 1st turn with Swagger, Sub, and T-Wave. Shiny: Yes ( Excuse this) EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Bold Nature - Substitute for some protection. - Thunder Wave for haxing opponents and for halving spd. - Swagger for confusing and dealing damage. - Dazzling Gleam for some STAB damage. The Trollin' Strategy This dude you are battling comes with big and burly and strong and fast and defensive Pokemon. You say to yourself,"what will I do?" and you send in this key (it, she, he?) and he sends in that big power house on legs. You should use T-wave or Swagger 1st, then the other. Hope for some luck, and hide behind the cute and cuddly teddy bear (Substitute). Then, deal some Fairy power with Dazzling Gleam, while hoping Mr. Big and Strong gets hurt by confusion or gets paralyzed. My main point is that use Swagger or T-wave then use the other, put a Sub, unleash that inner Fairy Power with our move and hope the opponent gets haxed. Hope I helped, and thanks for reading! answered Feb 3, 2014 by a Magikarp edited Feb 12, 2014 by a Magikarp I would recommend foul play instead of dazzling gleam, because the swagger makes it do a ton of damage. commented Jul 27, 2016 by junaid13 Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Meet my latest experiment; StallShao Mienshao @ Life Orb Trait: Regenerator EVs: 224 Spd / 208 Atk / 76 HP Jolly Nature Toxic Fake Out U-turn Drain Punch The EVs are weird, so's your face :D Basically, just enough speed to outspeed Max Jolly Speed Thundurus-T, and just OHKO standard OU physical attacking Mamoswine, the rest is dumped into HP for more bulk. This is my favourite fighting type Pokemon apart from Terrakion which I have used in OU. It's a really trolly set, with Toxic to slowly stall the opponent, Fake Out to deal some free damage and a useful switch in (however this makes Lucario's counter move Drain Punch), and U-Turn grants me some free damage and gains momentum to switch the appropriate Pokemon into battle, and Drain Punch is the STAB and main move, and OHKO's Mamoswine (bulky variant) just in the face.

Human Appeal increases aid for refugees in southern Europe
Human Appeal is increasing its work across southern Europe to continue saving the lives of refugees.
Over the coming weeks, the charity plans to distribute a mobile medical clinic, thousands of sleeping bags, food packs and hygiene kits in Lesvos, Greece, while in Macedonia, thousands of scarves, blankets and hundreds of children's boots are also set for delivery.
"Coming here was one of the best decisions of my life. So many lives have been engraved in my memory, people who are in desperate need of basic help," says Dr Nahla Eleraky, a doctor working with Human Appeal, who came with her husband from Birmingham to treat refugees.
"All they're asking for is some safety and dignity for them and their loved ones."
As the situation shows no signs of abating and more refugees arrive into Europe, more aid and donations are needed. Human Appeal are appealing for the public to support the work of charities working in Europe to provide urgent assistance to those in dire need.
"Many refugees arrive severely dehydrated, some with extensive heat burns across their chests and backs, friction burns between their legs, blisters cover the bottom of their feet and some are much worse off," Dr Nahla says.
"The tears of happiness that the refugees shed upon arrival into Greece are quickly wiped away in preparation for the journey ahead," she adds.

Crouch: 'I really fell in love with their program'
Chayce Crouch was adamant about one item.
"I'm not a Buckeye fan," the newest Illinois football commit in the Class of 2014 said about Ohio State, which is roughly a 30-minute drive from his home in Newark, Ohio.
Crouch, who is listed at 6 feet, 4 inches and 215 pounds, will get the chance to possibly play at the Horseshoe or beat the Buckeyes at Memorial Stadium now that the quarterback has made a college decision.
"I visited Illinois in April, and other than my visit to Illinois, I really didn't have a connection to them," said Crouch, who is the fourth recruit Tim Beckman has landed with the Class of 2014. "I really fell in love with their program, with the team and the attitude towards winning."
Yes, winning.
Even if Illinois is coming off a 2-10 season and will start the 2013 campaign on a nine-game losing streak and 14-game Big Ten losing streak that dates back to a win on Oct. 8, 2011 at Indiana.
"I love the fact that they're going to be the underdog," Crouch said. "There's something about the underdog that always has more fight and more urgency to win other than the team that's already on top. That mentality was clear in their practices I watched. Everybody was busting their tails. The energy that they produced in their practices was unbelievable because of the fact that they knew they need to prove people wrong this year."
Crouch held offers from Mid-American Conference schools from Kent State, Toledo and Western Michigan before receiving one from Illinois last Wednesday.
He didn't wait long to decide, committing the day he received the offer.
"The coaches from Illinios have truly been absolutely unbelievable throughout the entire recruiting process," said Crouch, who was primarily recruited by offensive coordinator Bill Cubit and tight ends and specialists coach/recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh. "Sitting thtrough films with Coach Cubit, I could just tell how intelligent he is and how great a coach he is by his resume and the presence he has in the room. We've built very, very good relationships over the last three months."
We'll have more on Crouch and the other schools that were looking at him in Wednesday's blog entry.

NPR's "Fresh Air" contributor and Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley and Stanford University, Dr. Geoffrey Nunberg, will discuss the importance of the term "a-hole" to today's society. He will examine how we have made the "a-hole" an object of obsessive collective interest, akin to the "phony" of Holden Caulfield's time, and how the word reflects contemporary American values about civility, relationships, pretension, and class.
In addition to his teaching and radio features, Nunberg is a frequent blogger and a contributing columnist for the LA Times and the New York Sunday Times. He is considered an authority on the cultural and social implications of the Technological Revolution. His books include The Years of Talking Dangerously (selected as a Notable Book of 2009 by the San Francisco Chronicle), Talking Right: How Conservatives Turned Liberalism into a Tax-Raising, Latte-Drinking, Sushi-Eating, Volvo-Driving, New York Times-Reading, Body-Piercing, Hollywood-Loving, Left-Wing Freak Show (chosen as one of the Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2006 by the Washington Monthly), The Way We Talk Now and Going Nucular: Language, Politics, and Culture in Controversial Times (named one of the Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2004 by Amazon.com and one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the San Jose Mercury News.) His most recent book, Ascent of the A-Word: A-holism, the First Sixty Years, is scheduled for release in August. A Bay Area resident, Nunberg also works as usage editor and chair of the usage panel of the American Heritage Dictionary. He is a winner of the Linguistic Society of America's Language and the Public Interest Award.
