Bryant key to Lakers' playoff hopes
It seems like the thing to do out here, to decry and diminish the Lakers' chance for successive championships.
Hence, I call your attention to the torn ligament in Shannon Brown's right thumb, Andrew Bynum's strained left Achilles, Jordan Farmar's strained left hamstring and Sasha Vujacic's badly sprained left ankle.
"He could miss the first round," Phil Jackson said of Vujacic the other night, following an embarrassing 16-point loss to the Clippers.
Unmentioned on the injury report, but worth notice nonetheless, is Ron Artest's suddenly blond coiffure, which he apparently consented to dye at the suggestion of DJ Mbenga. That's not a good sign, to have your supposed defensive stopper so susceptible to the backup center's suggestion. Then again, perhaps it's symptomatic of the malaise that has the Lakers — still the most talented roster in basketball — just 16-12 since the All-Star break. Their first-round opponents, the Oklahoma City Thunder, went 20-11 during that same stretch.
But none of that really matters. As it concerns the Lakers, one issue trumps all others. That would be the health of Kobe Bryant, who sat out the last three games of an injury-plagued season.
"It's concerning, obviously," said Pau Gasol. "The reality is, it's not the same. He's had to play through a lot this year. His health is real important to the team."
Real important?
"He's the most important part," Gasol conceded. "His health is crucial."
"I think he'll be just fine," said Jackson.
I think the coach is correct, basically. Still, in this case "fine" is a relative term. As Kobe goes, so go the Lakers. And one can't help but wonder if his compromised condition has had more of an effect on the team than the star himself.
I can't recall a player I've come to admire more; certainly not one I had disliked so intensely. For all Bryant's talent, no one has played harder for longer. No one has given the game more respect.
But now, near the end of his 14th professional season, the aura of his physical invincibility is no longer intact. He's been playing with a broken index finger on his shooting hand since Dec. 11. A sore left ankle forced him to sit out five games in February. The right knee, which has been sore since last year, was swollen enough for him to miss the last three games of the season. Of course, none of these injuries are catastrophic, but on the eve of the playoffs, one wonders if Kobe Bryant is finally getting old.
What he's doing has never been done before, playing this long, this hard, and at this level — all before his 32nd birthday. Three great talents came straight out of high school in the mid-90s. Kevin Garnett was a rookie in '95, and on many nights looks like he's 45. Tracy McGrady, class of '97, has been done for years. Bryant now might rank as the league's second best player. But he's also played 19,517 more minutes in 588 more NBA games than LeBron James.
In regard to the all-timers, he's already played 111 more games than Jerry West, who retired at 35. As for the other player to whom he's most frequently compared: Michael Jordan played in 1,266 games (I'm giving him 13 for the '92 Dream Team). Bryant, still 31, with 1,215 games (including 19 in international competition since 2007), will surpass that total next season.
Consider Bryant in relation to other notables drafted in 1996, these numbers courtesy of Tom Hummell from STATS LLC. Steve Nash has played in 1,116 games, Ray Allen in 1,099 and Allen Iverson, 985. Jermaine O'Neal, another high school phenom, played in 938 — and he looks to be done, too. The only guy drafted with Bryant who has played in nearly as many games as Bryant is, curiously enough, his teammate Derek Fisher, with 1,203. And though Fisher, too, has fallen off, he's played a mere 31,652 minutes — almost 12,600 fewer than Bryant, who has logged 44,254.
Again, this has never been done before. According to the STATS numbers, Bryant has substantially outpaced the most durable figures in the game. Before the age of 32, Magic Johnson had played in 1,060 games. Kevin Garnett was at 974, and A.C. Green at 940, Scottie Pippen at 946 and Karl Malone at 895.
So, back to the point. Jackson conceded there was a difference between today's Bryant and the '07 or '08 vintage.
"The inability to just go over people and shoot the ball with people on him," he said. "I think that's something he has adjusted to."
But have the rest of the Lakers? You're about to find out. Jackson, for his part, says the issue isn't Bryant's durability, but rather "connectedness." "The critical element" of playoff basketball, he said, was "the ability to play in unison with one mind."
One mind? I flashed on Artest as a blond.
OK. Let's see how connected the Lakers are if Kobe isn't right.

I was reminded yesterday when editing a story about a World War II veteran who saw action at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, that some journalists (reporters and editors) will use modern or incorrect terms terms to describe something that occurred during World War II. The story stated the veteran was part of a UDT unit and was a frogman at the Normandy beaches. The cutline under one of the photos read "a SEAL team invading Normandy." There were no UDT units, and certainly no SEAL teams at Normandy. In this case, it was a story about a sailor who trained at the Amphibious Training Base, Fort Pierce (Fla.) to be … [Read more...]

The best racing game ever made just got better. This game grabs hold of FLOPZA 4 And destroys it.
Graphics are hardly better, still crap ingame cars and shaders, lighting still not right. Forza3 fandroids everywhere.
What looks amazing about that,lol. ROFL. Forza 3.2
Most demanding part of crysis is the part with the tanks battle.
Hand animations still well wrong, watch the video,lol. hardly moves the wheel. FORZA4 VS SHIFT for ARCADE GAME. GT5 is still sim king.
They still haven't fixed the hand animations lol. Just a newer coat of polish,lol. Reminds me of shift at the start. Only one SIM king. GT5 BY A MILE.
Probably because Forza was never the KING. You all know this to be true.
Don't agree MP is lacking, it's very good imo. Could always do with new maps, but that could be said of all games.
PC PS3 360 You can easily see it in this video. PS3 looks closer to dx10 settings.
Really well done, love the quality of the chimera character, looks fking real,lol.
How was it a bad move. The game is in beta format and as such everyone knows this. There are a few holes in the ground, It's too hungry on processor resources on PC, not nearly as bad as f1 2011 and dirt3. Stupidly high specs need for cpu, and quad broken. I'm getting the game day 1, i just want them to add more fx to the explosions etc. When you throw a nade,or fire a rocket, there should be more pump to it.
Wouldn't bother releasing warhead, was only pushed out to get more money back from needing more crysis sales. CRYSIS 2 was/is better imo, not open. But action/aliens etc. Crysis 3 is set in london (you heard it here first)
THey are good updates, but they really should be seriously doing damage updates. Better shadows, drop the rez to 720p, cut x4aa add mlaa. Seriously they could pump out a much better driving and looking game. Also Arcade should be arcade, FUN.
inveni0 The reason the world doesn't feel alive is 60fps. If they gone with 30fps on consoles, although it would not be as smooth, you could alot more physics wise. It's a decent game though. But tbh, the only game i'll be playing for weeks,months,years will be BF3.
12million played the beta, yes massive failure,lol.
Not quite sure how this got approved tbh, sounds more like they included the GT5 name to get the article noticed. Sounds more like HHG.
I like the beta, but the flashlights in your face gets on my nerves tbh. Fair enough if the lens catches the sun outside, i like that.
You cannot judge what runs better while online, many things can change fps, explosions,tree's falling over, animations. Look at the pic, PS3 Wins graphically. PC wins overall, but is buggy as well, and they really need to release a map with vehicles.
News flash big slim. Those saying the PC PC PC. The pc version is a buggy mess, glitches all over the park. Grab your PC the end is near.

Senior Reporter
Youth Journalism International
LAHORE, Pakistan – Toddlers and children playing around the swings, people celebrating the joyous arrival of spring.
It was Easter, a holiday widely celebrated in my city. This seems like the description of a nice evening at the park. Would that it remained so.
A suicide bomber attacked a local park in Lahore around 7 p.m. on Easter Sunday. More than 60 people lost their lives and more than 300 families are praying for the recovery of their injured relatives.
News channels are flashing footage of the rescuers. Ambulances are speeding by; loved ones are running here and there.
There's an influx of social media posts, some condemning the attack and some blaming it on opposing organizations.
Other posts show pictures of children who got separated from their parents in the rampage after the blast, and some are trying to identify the suicide bomber. Some even go as far as to say that the blast was nothing more than a distraction for the public from the recently captured agent of RAW, the Indian intelligence agency.
A faction of the Taliban recently claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in the park and openly stated the targets were the Christian minority of Pakistan – and that similar attacks would continue.
The Taliban are one of the well-known extremist groups who claim to fight for Islam but clearly go against it in every one of their actions. To quote the Quran, Chapter 2 (verse 11-12), "And when it is said to them, Make not mischief in the land, they say: We are but peacemakers.Now surely they are the mischief-makers, but they perceive not."
Most terrorist attacks that happen around the world are blamed on religion but it makes me wonder if religion even plays a part here or if it's just being used as an excuse.
It is said that you need morality to know what is right and wrong, not religion.
And even then, most religions of the world promote peace and coexistence. Then, when these vicious extremists act upon other lethal and barbaric values, it makes all our attempts at coexistence feel trivial.
As a Muslim, born and raised in a Muslim family, in a city dominated by a Muslim population, I have a ton of Christian friends. I've been to church and not only am I taking a course in Christian ethics, but I also go to a Christian university. If that doesn't depict the unity between Muslim and Christian masses in Lahore, I don't know what does.
If out of nowhere, these extremists come and drop bombs on our Christian brothers and sisters, we won't sit calmly with our hands on our laps.
Our ancestors created Pakistan to liberate us and leave behind the savageness.
Now the responsibility falls on the Punjab government. Can it protect its citizens from a cruel stream of terrorism that may be in store for the future of Lahore and assert its potency despite the opposition?
Punjab's leaders must show by their actions that they are capable of safeguarding the minority populations as well as any other.

My biggest complaint
Is that for some reason, even if he doesn't trigger a trap, if I take the trap out I get a different out come.
Like I do it one way and have a few traps he didn't trigger, if I take the non-triggered traps out flackboy moves differently. But it's not chance, because I tested it a few times. It's like the traps being on screen and not triggered affect the outcome. WTF?
Curse Village Reawakening
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
There are Better
The map, the barricade....... Reminds me of the Last Stand. Which is an amazing game. I cant help comparing the two even though this one has slightly different game mechanics. the Last Stand is definitely better.
First off, the graphics weren't bad, but I felt that they lacked polish. Just certain things didn't seem to be right. Some animations weren't smooth and so forth. When killed they seem to turn to stone, I know a complicated rag doll physics system isn't required but a little extra bit of animation would have gone a long way.
Also, The game really isn't even that hard. Spamming a melee weapon makes it easy. Never buy a gun. Ever.
Monster Frenzy Beta
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Gotta say it.
Honestly? This is not that good at all. The graphics are poor. I understand that graphics don't have to be awesome but a little effort could be put forth.
My main issue with this is that it is a BETA. I'm not sure I can count this as a game. You're just killing things. Your stick figures legs don't move at all either. The panel on top of the screen and the damage numbers that appear make me think that you used an generic RPG creator of some sort.
I can't rate your up coming game, I can only rate this beta. Which is hopefully very very rough. No type of storyline at all, boring enemies, no equipment, no level up stats. Lacking in everything that makes a good RPG.
Didn't use any kind of creator, 100% from scratch :) don't worry, all the things you mentioned will be in the later releases :)

Episode Summary: When Kimura is asked why he became a teacher, he replies that he like high school girls. The girls criticize his blunt comment but the boys commend Kimura for his sincerity. While changing for swimming class, breast sizes are compared among the gang. During the stretching portion of the swimming class, an infuriated Nyamo kicks a lustful Kimura out of the pool area, even though he was permitted to observe. Chiyo admits that she cannot swim but is reluctant enough to do a dog paddle. Osaka tries to learn how to float by being a corpse. Yukari interrupts the class by belly-flopping into the pool, and Kimura manages to sneak back into the pool. Yukari challenges Nyamo to a swimming relay race. Unfortunately, Yukari suffers a leg cramp halfway through the first lap, and Nyamo is left to care for her. Meanwhile, the students from Yukari's class and Nyamo's class challenge each other in their respective teacher's place. Chiyo, Tomo, Yomi, and Osaka see Kimura messing behind a bush. They soon find out that he was collecting cans and bottles for recycling purposes and charitable intentions.

Original paper
Taxonomy, stratigraphy, and palaeoecology of chrysophyte cysts from a Late Glacial sediment core section of Langsee, Austria
Huber, Kerstin; Kamenik, Christian; Weckström, Kaarina; Schmidt, Roland
Nova Hedwigia Band 89 Heft 1-2 (2009), p. 245 - 261
published: Jul 30, 2009
ArtNo. ESP050008901014, Price: 29.00 €
Chrysophyte resting stages (cysts) were analysed in a sediment core from Längsee, a small lake in the Carinthian lowland (Austria) with climate-driven meromixis, spanning the Late Glacial Interstadial (= Greenland Interstadial 1, ca. 14.7 to 12.7 ky BP). Of the 32 cyst types occurring at least once with a minimum of > 1%, six were related to chrysophyte taxa so far. Nine cyst types were described as new to science. Aiming to define ecological preferences, we compared the cyst stratigraphy with pollen and diatom stratigraphies, diatom-inferred total phosphorus (Di-TP) and diatom-inferred mean summer epilimnetic water temperatures (Di-SEWT). Two significant cyst zones corresponded with the two main pollen zones (Betula followed by Pinus), and a change from meso-eutrophic (dominance of Cyclotella ocellata) to oligotrophic conditions (C. comensis dominance). Secondary changes in cyst assemblages may have been triggered by climate fluctuations. In sum, we classified three groups of cyst types: (1) cysts related to meso-eutrophic conditions; (2) cysts related to oligotrophic conditions and/or cold water; (3) cysts with unknown ecological preferences.

We booked a 2D1N stay as packaged by Spa Villas, which is situated inside KTM resort for 4 ladies to enjoy a relaxing spa and a quick getaway from Singapore.
They gave us Family Cottage 2 with a sea view that was partially blocked by a tree (Cottage 1 has an unobstructed seaview facing Singapore!) which is alright by us. The cottage is clean and cosy and the 2 rooms (1 with Queen bed and 1 with 2 single beds) had their own attached bathroom and shower stalls. The beds are comfy and clean enough.
Amenities include a small electric kettle, free tea and coffee, teaset for 4, a small fridge, bottled water, an electric cooker, a kitchen sink... All in all a good deal for the price we were paying. The bathroom had 2 clean (although a bit old) towels and even toiletries to use.
The resort is located very near Sekupang Ferry terminal (new and modern) - it took our driver around 5-10 minutes to get to the resort. The lobby staff had good command of English and were helpful and friendly.
In the resort there is a very sad outdoor karaoke stage and set up beside the sea water pool. The pool claimed to be therapeutic but the murkiness did not seem appealing enough for us to try it out. A convenience store selling stuff like beer, potato chips and ice cream opens till around 10pm I think.
There is free unlocked WiFi for the internet addicts. Not super fast, but it works. Taxis (old ones and drivers drive scary) are available to bring you to Batam Town about half an hour away, where Nagoya Hill shopping mall and the A&W are situated. For watersports and go kart, you should head to Waterfront City but it is lousy for shopping.
Great for families and couples for a fuss free weekend getaway that is value for money.

It's my birthday today. I have received several calls, emails and text messages from my family, friends, colleagues and well wishers. As at the last count, I had received about 54 calls, 34 text messages and 9 emails. Some of the text messages are simply wonderful. I was close to tears while reading some of them. Let me use this opportunity to say a big thank you to all of you who sent in a text, a mail or called over the phone. My world is a better place because I have friends like you. Special thanks to my lovely wife, who sent in a lovely cake to my office. I wonder what I would do without you. Not much I guess!
Today has been a day of reflection for me. I was just thinking about the last couple of years – where I have been and where I am coming from. It's been a long rough ride! Believe me when I say that. However, it's been interesting all along. I have seen a lot. I have experienced a lot. I have learnt a lot. I have grown, to a good extent I suppose. Along the journey, I have also realized that I had good reasons, very good reasons to give for failure. I was talking with a colleague some time last week. He told me of a chat he had with a former boss, who was advising him to put in his best at work. He told him something that in my opinion is very profound. He said "Every reason for failure in --- (name of the company) is always an excellent reason". How true?
There is a young man that inspires me in the scriptures. His name is Joseph. Permit me to talk a bit about him today. Permit me also to call him Joe. Joe was a good guy who had very good and lofty dreams. He dreamt that one day he will be head over all his households. He dreamt great dreams. You know, I realize that it's a dreamers' world. Today's dreams are certainly tomorrow's realities. Dream well and dream big, it doesn't cost a dime. Everything you see around you today, started as a dream in someone's mind.
Joe was faced with a lot of odds however. Odds that stood against him and his dreams. A study of these odds will show that we still face similar odds today. Let me share a few of those with you as I drive home my point.
Background –
He was from a polygamous family where a lot of jealousy and hatred was the order of the day. He was also one of the youngest. You know there are some of us that are from the backside of the desert. Infact, we are from the interior of the inferior! What will you do? Will you sit down and complain about your disadvantageous background, or do something about it? Listen. Your background does not have to determine your future. You can rise to the top in spite of very low backgrounds. History is littered with the testimonies of those who went from terrible backgrounds to enviable heights. History also has records of those with great and wonderful backgrounds but end up with little or no reckoning. Need I mention names?
Environment –
At an early stage in life, Joe found himself in a strange land and in a strange environment. He found himself far away from home where godly values were not taught. There are a couple of us who thinks that they can only succeed in Europe! Nigeria and Africa is too tough they say. The environment is not conducive. While I agree that you need the right environment to bring out your best, I make bold to say this "It is not in the Land. It is in the Mind". God told Isaac to remain in Gerar, the land of famine. Isaac obeyed, stayed there and reaped in the same year, a hundred fold! You will not become an instant success even if you move to Europe, except your mind witnesses a transformation. A lizard in Africa can never become a Crocodile in Europe! At best, it will be a international lizard! In spite of the environment prevailing around him, Joe made the best of it in his rise to the throne. Will you do same?
A lizard in Africa can never become a Crocodile in Europe! At best, it will be a international lizard!
Have you heard people complain about their bosses as if they are the very roots of all the woes? Joe had every reason to blame his boss, and most importantly his boss's wife. He didn't. He served Potiphar with all his might. He was "The Servant". He was so committed that Potiphar committed everything he had to his hands. "Do you see a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before Kings and not before ordinary men" says the holy creed. When a man is diligent in anything he does, he will surely do that "thing" for kings! The reason why you are not progressing is not your boss, no matter how tough he/she is. It all depends on you!
Inspite of all these reasons, Joe never craved in. He didn't hide under the cover of any. His dreams and goals were set before him and he will stop at nothing to achieve them. Remember that the world don't want reasons. They want results.
Joe went on to achieve his dreams, and even better. He became the Prime Minister in a foreign land, second only to Pharaoh. What an amazing story.
There is no reason good enough for failure.
Let me ask you a question? After all said and done, what will be said about you? Will you let prevailing circumstances drown your goals, visions and dreams? Or will you rise up to the occasion, and say to yourself "inspite of all these, I will achieve my dreams". You will go through all you are passing through. Surely and certainly, you will get to the throne.
There is no reason good enough for failure.

TERRY GROSS, host:
The Subhumans are a political punk band from Britain who were first active in the 80s, but whose back catalog of six albums has now been re-mastered and released in the U.S. Although the musical setting has changed dramatically from those days, critic Milo Miles says The Subhumans sound more timeless than old hat.
(Soundbite of music)
Mr. DICK LUCAS (Lead Singer, The Subhumans): (Singing) (unintelligible)
MILO MILES: Not all overlooked excellent music is a so-called lost gem. Sometimes they're hidden in plain sight. British punks The Subhumans were active from 1980 to 1985, and their records were never rarities, just very hard to find in the United States, where they never got much traction in their heyday. However, being vintage punks missed by the U.S. guarantees nothing. A UK group called The Adicts are by far the most long-lasting punk band with original members, and that's the most interesting thing about them. The Subhumans, on the other hand, will remind you why people were knocked out by punk in the first place. They deliver short, sharp shocks of fury and anguish. But like the best of the breed, they're angry in a funny way or funny in an angry way, or something like that, as here when they explaining why "Mickey Mouse is Dead."
(Soundbite of song, "Mickey Mouse is Dead")
Mr. LUCAS: (Singing) Mickey Mouse is dead, got kicked in the head, cause people got too serious. They planned out what they said. They couldn't take the fantasy, tried to accept reality, analyzed the laughs, cause pleasure comes in halves. The purity of comedy. They had to take it seriously. Changed the words around, tried to make it look profound. The comedian is onstage, pisstaking for a wage, the critics think he's great, but the laughter turns to hate.
MILES: In their first releases, The Subhumans were an early example of British hardcore punk, a style that stripped the sound down to its basics in the manner of the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. The goal was to attract crusaders and purists, the only ones alive in a dead world of lies. The closest American parallel might be the group Minor Threat. The Subhumans' shouter Dick Lucas, guitarist Bruce Treasure, bassist Grant Jackson and a drummer known only as Trotsky hammered away at themes of mental disease, murder, oppression with every breath and love as a disaster.
But they also offered a welcome British perspective with rants about class structure, work, money and the evils of meat in a song that ends with the perfect line: It's the family butcher. Lock up your family.
(Soundbite of song, "Pigman")
Mr. LUCAS: (Singing) Guilty conscience stews away in the kitchen. Knock at the door it's, the next door neighbor. Farming is a living, killing is a crime. Where do the meat men draw their lines? Revenge for the timeless market slaughter, the pig man's coming. Lock up your daughter.
MILES: The Subhumans hit a peak in 1982 with their first LP, "The Day the Country Died," which is full of clever snaps of melody, rhythm and wit. Those who prefer the punk straight up should also check out the earlier Subhumans sides collected on the descriptively named "EP-LP." The Subhumans themselves began to defy one of the commandments of hardcore punk. They evolved and became more elaborate. There were a few dead ends and blind alleys, but The Subhumans wound up their first incarnation with the 1985 album "Worlds Apart," their most varied and reflective, including sighs about apathy and ex-teenage rebels. It ends with "Power Ames," a song by purists, all grown up to warn that purity itself is something to guard against.
(Soundbite of song, "Power Ames")
Mr. LUCAS: (Singing) Without asking it, I had called them out, without knowing what it was all about. They assumed it was a wind-up or a con. Making sure with a nervous glance, they re-affirmed each other's stance, and smiled and then forgot about it all. The passing strangers stayed that way, rotted away in their own decay, convinced they'd got it right, the rest were wrong. By deriding them to gain respect, they tied a noose around their neck and fell when something different came along.
MILES: The Subhumans have reunited a few times, and they're still semi-active today. But still, they did their best job of blowing down complacency as youths with brains on fire. In the 1990s, the roars of hardcore punk could sound dated. But by now, the commitment and conviction of The Subhumans sounds like a call to arms waiting to be heard again.
GROSS: Milo Miles lives in Boston. He reviewed The Subhumans' back catalogue, newly reissued on the Bluurg label.

Top 10 Best Non-Legendary Johto PokemonBlazikenBro This is my opinion at first, feel free to vote for any Pokemon you like.
The Top Ten
Tyranitar is like a one man wrecking machine. With the right moves, it can destroy everything in its path and be the best non legendary poke on your team
Strong against many opponents, but can be beat with just about any fighting type.
He can defeat any Pokemon that comes his way
I'm sorry but even if Tyranitar is very good in gen 2 (or gen4 if you play HGSS instead of GSC) metagame and have very high stats and a very usefull dark type) he is one of the worst choice of your Johto journey. First of, you can only find larvitar in mount silver which at this point the only trainer you need to face is Red. You can also try to catch one at the casino of Celadon in Crystal or the safari zone in HGSS but this is still pretty late in the game and its pretty hard to do so. Also, unless you have Crystal and buy a level 40 larvitar or that in HGSS you have the luck of finding level 42 instead of 15, unlike the other pokemon of mt silver which are pretty high levels (39-49) larvitar is arround level 15 and 20 (they can reach 30 in HGSS but larvitar are more rare in those than GSC) and knowing that Larvitar have a low exp rate and that it evolve into tyrannitar at level 55 and that in my gold and silver playtrough my pokemons were arround level 48 and 49 when I beated Red ...moreV 17 Comments
Feraligatr can destroy everything it touches. Like Heat/Freeze Miser but it's actually COOL. Obviously the best starter if the three, freezing grass and putting out fire. Teach it Surf for fire ground and rock, Super Power for Metal, Ice, and Dark, Ice Beam for Flying, Ground again, rock again, and Dragon, and teach it Earthquake for electric types. enough Said
From my experience, Feraligatr is probably one of the best fast physical sweepers you can get next to Pokemon like Crobat, and Garchomp. This Pokemon not only has BEASTLY stats, but it also has a vast movepool, which allows it to easily wipe through every Pokemon type. If you give this Pokemon a Life-Orb, nothing will be able to stand in its way. Simply put, Feraligatr is a badass Alligator, that can Ice-Punch and Earthquake it's way through anything. I would highly recommend it as a starter.
I had this Pokemon since the very beginning of my journey in SoulSilver, and let me tell you, it's just an amazing Pokemon! It has all these moves that it can learn to protect itself from electric types (for example it can learn earthquake) and grass types (for example it can learn ice beam or ice punch). When I brought my Feraligatr from SS to B2 and went to Black City, I never lost a single battle with it! Now I have a Shiny Gible all thanks to my awesome Feraligatr! (And also my Entei helped a little) You're the best!
Its moves are so good such as aqua tail and some more. I love this pokemonV 16 Comments
Crobat, in my opinion, beats them all. Amazingly fast speed, good design, nice moves.. It has a lot going for it-- terribly underrated.
Not an easy one to evolve and weak when caught, but a solid choice. High stats, insanely fast and will leave your opponent confused (literally) - BlazikenBro
All you need to get this thing is a poke ball, a cave, and love. Now look at it it is a total beast.
It's really good in battle and plus it doesn't have much weaknessessV 2 Comments
Typhlosion is a pretty solid 'mon for the mattress-soiling lout he is. Terrible defense, but good Special Attack. His design is decently nifty, to an extent-- at least he doesn't look like the Olsen twins.
Typhlosion can learn a great deal of moves. It also has a major type advantage against the other gyms.
Typhlosion is a beast. Great moves. Great stats. It should be number 1.
Typhlosion is the best starter feraligatr suck
Teach typhlosion wild charge, eruption, inferno, earthquake or blastburn or hyper beam
I love Psychic types and it is a real powerhouse, plus it has a variety of attacks.
Easily the best Eeveeloution to ever exist. Spectacular special attack, a wide variety of moves and the support factor makes this thing viable for any team - BlazikenBro
Espeon and Umbreon should be at least in top 3. Don't you agree, Umbreon voters, eeveelution lovers, and some of the Espeon voters?
Good psychic eeveelution great attacks it also has future sightV 7 Comments
So what if it's slow? Thunder kicks major butt and Cotton Guard makes it rule out in Defense. - BlazikenBro
Aside from having a mega and looking cool, ampharos is a very powerful electric type, probably the best you can obtain with only the Kanto and Johto games. Awesome move pool and great defense.
Low Speed and Defense, but you can spam stuff like Calcium to higher them
Where do I even start
its design is amazing
its mega form is boss
and its moveset is awesome
one of the if not the best electric type there is
The only downside to scizor is that you need to trade it to evolve, and fire will destroy it. However, its speed is not to be taken lightly, and its move pool is amazing. Plus its design is just awesome and it has a mega!
Scizor is still awesome though!
Is really strong when it learns hyper
Such a powerful sweeperV 4 Comments
He is incredibly strong, especially against Psychic and Fighting types because of its move Psychic.
A real tank, can't hit nearly as hard as Espeon but teaching it Curse and Payback will make your opponent wish they ever got out of bed. :D - BlazikenBro
My favorite Eeveelution. It's shiny form looks majestic like Gigalith's. Espeon makes me sick.
Umbreon looks great and is great. It defies the saying 'Looks can decieve'V 3 Comments
Water/Dragon is a great combo because of Dragon and Fairy only being effected against it. Plus it knows Flash Cannon to prevent Fairy types and things like Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam, Dragon Pulse, Giga Impact and Draco Meteor which takes care of the Dragon problem easily.
My friend literally beat the ENTIRE Elite Four with just one Kingdra. Seriously powerful, balanced stats, not to be taken as a joke. - BlazikenBro
Kingdra really is good, especially with its typing of water/dragon. It makes it really hard to get the type advantage over it, and dragon pokémon are also harder to find, so if you're fighting one a lot of the time you just have to power through.
Its he best typing and it gets great moves
To the one who thinks Houndoom is fire/steel, it's fire/dark you idiot
Houndoom is very powerful indeed.
You shmucks who said that Houndoom is a Steel type.I would say that Houndoom is the best non-starter and non legendary pokemon.It can easily take out water types with solarbeam and psychic types with dark pulse.It also looks cool and can Mega EvolveV 2 Comments
The Contenders
It can use Mega Horn, with stab! It can easily battle psychic types with it and with practicals no other good Pokemon to fight psychic types at the time ( The dark type was new, so the only good dark Pokemon was Umbreon ) I'm surprised it's not higher.
Heracross is amazing. It's fighting/bug typing enables it to have a larger move pool, as well as a wider range of types that it can wreck, and even though it makes it weaker to types such as psychic, the powerful moves it learns totally makes up for that.
So close to hitting like Scizor! The big upside is though you can obtain it earlier than Scizor. Also able to learn Close Combat, Megahorn, Reversal, Aerial Ace, Stone Edge, Brick Break and other whopping moves - BlazikenBroV 2 Comments
Lanturn with volt absorb is better than ampharos. That's it
It is literally the cutest thing ever
Electric water and caught early in game. why not?
First off this little duck is awesome
Poor underrated Tri-duck science experiment thingy...
Why isn't dragonite number one he can learn dragon breath dragon pulse a huge variety of moves he should be first
Taught Mewtwo Avalanche and it was easy to beat. Still deserves #5 here
Dragon it is amazing great stats solid moves and he's just awesome
I wasn't sure to pick Gengar or Dragonite. I was like"Eeee? "V 3 Comments
He is the most OP Mon in generation 4 and up. I had it on my team once and it obliterated everything in it's path. Beat the Elite 4 and champion with it solo. Can't be beat.
It is the well know god of pokemon
Best. Pokemon. Ever.
The only one stronger is Peeko SenseiV 8 Comments
I love Grolith but Arcanine is even better.
Very high base stats and a nice movepool make Arcanine one of the best choices for a Fire type Pokemon in Jotho.
Quagsire is a beast! It's typing makes it immune to electric types, and it has a large movepool. I just can't go without catching one whenever I play crystal. It's only downfall is that it can't learn Waterfall, but it can learn surf and whirlpool. So just teach it Surf, Slam, Whirlpool, and Earthquake and you've got a beast on your hands.
He's awesome because he is ground water type
And just look @ that design. Shaped like a friend, 10 out of 10.
Durpy not dirtyV 1 Comment
Gyarados should be top ten everything about is great. it can learn flamethrower, ice beam, thunderbolt, and hydro pump. and his stats are amazing if you raise it right you could have all its stats over 200 and his attack power over 365. my gyarados has an attack power of 367. this Pokemon is truly amazing.
Gyarados is a awesome Pokemon
Should be in top 5
he is good
Gengar is a great ghost type and one of my favorite Pokemon
110 speed and 130 sp. Att. And the amazing hypnosis/dream eater combo. Only downside is you need to trade to evolve

It was a busy year for Kendall Jenner – and at times too busy. The star took to her website and app on Monday to share her list of New Year's resolutions, and to also reveal that she was recently hospitalized.
"I'm not big on New Year's resolutions. I don't write a list down or anything, it's definitely more of an in-my-head kind of thing," Jenner, 20, said. "I set random goals like 'find a boyfriend' but it's not legit at all, lol."
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star continued to explain that she hasn't given new goals much thought due to her busy schedule this past year. In fact, Jenner was so busy this year she was briefly hospitalized.
"I just got so tired from work and life and everything that it freaked me out at the end of this year," she added. "I actually had to go to the hospital because I was so exhausted – it was definitely a wake up call that I need to take better care of myself."
RELATED VIDEO: Kendall Jenner Rules the Versace Runway
But her health scare helped shaped her plans for 2016.
The model plans to spend more time relaxing despite her busy schedule.
"So, I guess my resolution would be to chill out more and have the ability to be a little more spontaneous," Jenner wrote. "I want to enjoy being home a little bit more. No matter what, 2016 is going to be the best yet. I can feel it!"
Considering the eventful year the budding supermodel had, the bar for her future self is pretty high.

6 Places to Find Great Vegan Sushi in New York City
The sushi craze started in NYC, and now the city boasts some of the best vegan interpretations of the Japanese favorite.
During the 1980s, New York City became one of the first metropolises in the United States to feature a plethora of sushi-based restaurants. Shortly thereafter, the trend expanded across the nation and continues to be one of America's favorite culinary options. However, vegans know the cruelty inherent in traditional sushi (comprised mostly of raw fish), which explains why many herbivores equate vegan sushi with a boring meal of plain avocado or cucumber rolls. However, times have changed as the Big Apple is now home to enough vegan sushi to last almost a week's worth of dinners. Here are six of our favorite NYC restaurants serving delicious and innovative sushi without the cruelty.
1. Franchia
Hidden among residential apartment buildings on Manhattan's busy Park Avenue, Franchia's all-vegan offerings include an array of delicious dishes. Open the menu to discover a full page of plant-based sushi rolls, including "Chicken" Teriyaki Roll, Spicy "Tuna" Roll, and the Franchia Roll (cucumber, avocado, carrot, squash, mountain greens, and vegan crab meat). If you want to try them all, order the "Roll Combination," which brings together the California Roll, Crispy Tofu Skin Roll, and Spicy "Chicken" Roll. Be sure to make reservations if you're planning to dine on a Friday or Saturday evening, though, as Franchia is popular among vegans and omnivores alike.
2. Juice Press
Just a few blocks north of Franchia, you'll find New York's famous Grand Central Station, and inside sits the vegan-friendly grab-and-go food shop Juice Press. This establishment, which has 56 locations in the city, offers juice (of course), smoothies, and an assortment of vegan pre-made packaged food options to tote with you on the train. Our favorite is the Get Rich Quick Sushi, which is completely raw and combines avocado, cabbage, sunflower sprout, jicama, tahini, and sunflower seeds.
3. Sun in Bloom
Another restaurant with numerous raw vegan offerings is Sun in Bloom in Brooklyn. Regardless of a person's diet, everyone seems to be drawn to the all plant-based menu's Sunny "Couture" Futomaki Roll. The abundant rolls—served with roasted vegetables, brown rice, ginger, basil, and avocado spilling out of the nori—are larger than your typical sushi roll and offer a new twist on the traditional approach. The nori alone provides the taste of the sea without any fish involved, which is another reason we don't need to eat animals.
4. Catch NYC
Though not entirely vegan, this popular downtown Manhattan spot has added a few plant-based offerings to its menu, including an all-vegan sushi dish. In addition to sushi, one can find plant-based selections including Mushroom Spaghetti and Hearts of Palm Crabcake. The Vegetable King Roll delivers all of the complexity and beautiful presentation that the cuisine is known for … without the cruelty. A delight for the eyes, Catch NYC's vegan roll combines king oyster mushrooms, cashews, and spicy miso. Order the roll alongside avocado toast (vegan upon request) for a wonderful lunch, and if the restaurant becomes more popular with the plant-based crowd, perhaps they will change the name to something more vegan-friendly.
5. Peacefood Cafe
With two locations, Peacefood Cafe is a NYC vegan staple. The restaurant can be counted on for everything from rich satisfying soups to hearty paninis. Among the plant-based comfort foods the menu lists an all-raw offering simply titled "Sushi Roll." However, don't let this humble name fool you, as the colorful dish—which features walnut paste and julienned vegetables topped with avocado—makes it abundantly clear that the restaurant known for its delicious comfort foods has also mastered raw vegan sushi. As if this beautifully composed dish couldn't get better, it's accompanied by a petite salad of jicama and carrot that offers just the right amount of sweetness.
6. Beyond Sushi
The most celebrated source of vegan sushi in New York City is Beyond Sushi, which boasts four restaurants throughout Manhattan. With so many locations, cruelty-free diners in search of sophisticated sushi should not have a hard time finding a spot to indulge. The all-vegan eateries present artful rolls that combine colorful and delicious ingredients. We love the Sunny Side (black rice, braised fennel, and sundried tomato) and the Pickle Me (six-grain rice, pickled daikon, and avocado), but the menu also includes dumplings, noodle salads, and rice-paper wraps that shouldn't be missed. These intricate, creative, and complex offerings are a far cry from any plain cucumber roll that one might imagine when thinking of "vegan sushi."

Automated Installation of Large-Scale Linux Networks
We utilized standard procedures in setting up the server configuration. We set up the DNS, NIS, FTP, Apache, time and NFS services. One special consideration was that no two services were provided by a single IP address. Although we had only four actual servers, we relied heavily on IP aliasing to create virtual personalities for each service. This aliasing method provides for transparent shifting of the services from one machine to another in case of a failure, providing some degree of fault tolerance. This approach is in continuation of our previous work on network fault tolerance, reported in Linux Journal, June 2000.
autofs is a kernel-assisted auto-mounter for Linux which allows the system to dynamically mount a file system on demand. It is like using MS Windows, where, when you need to access a floppy drive, you do not have to specifically attach a drive to a mount point. For example, if autofs is configured to auto-mount a CD-ROM at, say, mount point /misc/cd, then every time a CD-ROM is inserted into the drive and the directory is changed to /misc/cd, the CD-ROM will be automatically mounted at this point. If the mount point is not used for a while, it will be automatically unmounted.
autofs was found to be very useful for our scenario. Over the span of one week, we have many different classes coming into the laboratory. Keeping all the user files mounted on each workstation all the time created a lot of server load and network traffic—an inefficient and undesirable situation. We divided the file system into four groups and mounted them individually via autofs rather than hard-binding the NFS servers in the /etc/fstab file. This reduced the server load to a quarter of its original.
To maintain flexibility, we used NIS for the autofs maps. The map auto.master provides information about the mount point of the autofs system, and auto.home gives information about what file system should be mounted and from which server. It was discovered that the autofs does not check for an NIS map if the file /etc/auto.master is present. Hence, to make it work properly, we removed the file /etc/auto.home from all the workstations that were going to employ autofs. To include these maps in the NIS database, select the rule auto.home and auto.master in the NIS Makefile located at /var/yp/.
The following line was added to /etc/auto.master on the server:
/home auto.home --timeout 60
and these lines were added to /etc/auto.home on the server:
#mount point options source host+path g1 -rw,hard,intr nfs1:/home/g1 g2 -rw,hard,intr nfs2:/home/g2to enable building the proper database.

Dr. Michael Bond earned his Bachelor of Science from SUNY College in Cortland, New York and his Medical Degree from Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, New York. He did his Residency in Pediatrics at the University of South Florida and his Dermatology Residency at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Dermatology. He is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology and the Society of Pediatric Dermatology. Before joining Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Bond was in private practice for 19 years in Memphis and, during this time, was the Dermatologist for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.Pediatric Dermatology has been a subspecialty of Dermatology for more than 40 years. The Society of Pediatric Dermatology was founded in 1975. Dr. Bond has been a member since 1981. He has presented numerous papers at the national and international meetings. Pediatric Dermatology is not routine skin problems that occur in children but instead involves dermatological entities that encompass congenital abnormalities of skin development as well as entities that appear only in children or initiate in childhood. Pediatric dermatology incorporates the field of neonatology and birthmarks, genetic syndromes, cutaneous markers for internal disease, skin infections from impetigo to warts and fungus and Conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis (eczema of childhood). Atopic Dermatitis is more than just a common rash; it is a chronic rash involving relentless itching, scratching and skin infections that result in misery for the child and overwhelming stress on family dynamics. Therapy encompasses more than just prescriptions. Utilizing new non-irritating specialty cleansers and moisturizers enhances the successful treatment of this and many other childhood conditions such as ichthyosis, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and acne. As a board certified dermatologist and pediatrician, Dr. Bond is in a professional position to provide comprehensive care for children and their families while treating their dermatological conditions. Dr. Bond is the Medical Director of Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery. He is very involved in Clinical Research and has established a dermatology training program for physician assistants and nurse practitioners.
"Dr. Bond and his staff are very kind and caring. Dr. Bond is intelligent, knowledgable and an expert in his field (fields). He is very personable with people and makes the experience of an appointment pleasant by exercising his wit which relaxes his patients. He's the best in the Villages and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Dermatologist!'"
"I am 75 years old so have been to several dermatologists during my lifetime, so I can say unequivocally that Dr. Bond is by far tops in his field in my opinion. Thoroughness, attention to detail and response to a patient's needs are only
SOME of his professional attributes. And at the top my personal list of needs is - a "bedside" manner that can't be matched. I feel so lucky to have found him - he's a keeper!"
--Rosemary Reagan
"I was an Independent Duty Hospital Corpsman in the Navy with prior experience in a Dermatology Clinic. Dr. Bond, and his entire staff, are truly professionals that provide focused care to each individual patient. Dr. Bond's attention to detail in scrutinizing the body would be envied by Sherlock Holmes. This man is the person to see for definitive care."

Short Description
LibreOffice is a lively and diverse community, delivering a full-featured cross-platform office suite. We value new contributors, just as we prize Open Source and Open Standards.
Long Description
LibreOffice is a modern Free & Open Source Office suite, one of the largest open source projects, and used by millions of users worldwide. LibreOffice is compatible with many file formats like Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. At its heart though, LibreOffice is built around an open standard, the OpenDocument Format, as its native file format.
LibreOffice is developed by users who, just like you, believe in the principles of Free Software and in sharing their work with the world in non-restrictive ways. The development of LibreOffice is supported by The Document Foundation which provides the infrastructure for the project.
We believe that users should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software that we distribute. While we do offer no-cost downloads of the LibreOffice suite of programs, Free Software is first and foremost a matter of liberty, not price. We campaign for these freedoms because we believe that everyone deserves them.
Though the members of our community hail from many different backgrounds, we all value personal choice and transparency, which translates practically into wider compatibility, more utility, and no end-user lock-in to a single product. We believe that Free Software can provide better-quality, higher-reliability, increased-security, and greater-flexibility than proprietary alternatives. LibreOffice is a large project (approx. 6MLOC), which makes it interestingly complex, but at the same time, provides a place for all sorts of contribution & skills.
The community behind LibreOffice is the heart of the project, without which we would not have the resources to continue developing our software. The passion and drive that every individual brings to the community results in collaborative development that often exceeds our own expectations. With tons of different roles in the project, we invite everyone to join us in our work and help us to make LibreOffice known, prosper, and accessible to all.
Application Instructions
First you should have a look at the Google Summer of Code FAQ and GSoC Student Guide. We will require the following points in any application:
- Present yourself
- Prove that you want to get involved into LibreOffice
- Explain what you want to achieve
- How do you plan to achieve it?
- Why should we choose you?
Please find more details on the application process in our wiki
Remark, in order to ensure you have aquinted yourself with the project, you need to have solved at least one non-trivial easyHack.

Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code?
GSoC attract a lot of students of whom some can be motivated to be long term committers. An mature project like LibreOffice, need a mixture of old and new developers, hence GSoC is very important for our future. For the student, being part of a large well known project like LibreOffice is a big plus on their CVs, something we take very seriously. GSoC is the major opertunity for students around the world to be an active part of OpenSource, and we want to help making it a combined success.
GSoC is an important program, because it provides a possibility to mentor students intensively over a relative long period of time. The Student gets more experience, while the project get tasks done, that would be harder to do, but pure volunteers. GSoC provides a platform, that connects students with openSource projects, LibreOffice interact with the students after GSoC, to e.g. provide developer days in universities.
How many potential mentors have agreed to mentor this year?
How will you keep mentors engaged with their students?
We use mail and IRC as the primary communication channels, with an exceptional g++ hangout when needed. In order to monitor the overall process, we have a weekly steering meeting, where GSoC are discussed in order for detecting problems before they become real problems. Each student will have two mentors to avoid problems of disappearing mentors (even if only during the holidays time). Furthermore the GSoC admins (3) keeps an oversight throughout the project period.
How will you help your students stay on schedule to complete their projects?
Our mentors are typically people, who are present on our IRC channels and mail on a daily basis and have therefore sufficient capacity to adhere to the students schedules. Our GSoC administrators (some are also mentors) will follow the progress of each sub-project at a high level. We use Gerrit for patch management, and with that it is easy to monitor the progress in work.
In order to be selected, the students need to accomplish an easy programming task or fix any easy bug from LibreOffice bugzilla. This requires them to build and start looking at the code, this gives the student more confidence in the task ahead and our mentors a chance to look at how the student work.
All students will be required to submit report their progress every week on the libreoffice development mailing-list and submit/update a patch on gerrit every week. This will help to spot the difficulties before the student is actually lost. The report doesn't need to be long if the patch clearly show work is being done.
How will you get your students involved in your community during GSoC?
The students are, from before applying to GSoC, being welcomed as part of our mentoring program. In the mentoring program, we encourage the students to participate in discussions on IRC and mail. Our mentors will often, ask the students to present their ideas to the community and thus get involved. In our opinion students need to do more than just write code, they need to interact with the community by propoising solutions and modity them until we have a community consensus. The interaction will ensure that students become part of the "team".
How will you keep students involved with your community after GSoC?
We have a mentoring program in place, with the purpose an guiding new contributors into becomming full committers. The GSoC students will be (since most of them are new) will be part of that program. We not only help new contributors becomming part of the community, we also monitor progress, and actively try to keep the motivation high. We believe an open and active community is one of the best assets in keeping contributors. We will before, during and after GSoC keep a personal contact with the students making them be a part of the community.
This year our community are reaching out to universities, using the GSoC students as our advocates, providing "developer days", where the mentors will be present.
Has your org been accepted as a mentoring org in Google Summer of Code before?

Many thanks to the staff at Lakeview Resort in Morgantown WV. I was in a group of 16 and we played 5 days at this resort. The courses were a real treat with some tricky greens :). The resort itself is an "established" property with heritage/history. The rooms are nothing fancy but clean and comfortable! For a group golf outing with reasonable rates it certainly fits the bill. The dinning facility serves up some tasty dishes like prime rib on the weekends. Our package included breakfast and dinner which was an excellent value for the money. I can honestly say that I did not have a bad meal the entire stay.
The only drawback was there is no driving range on the resort property. To be fair there is one off property beteewn the Lake and Mountain courses. However, any shortcomings are nullified by the stafff from the front desk to the dinnining areas to the pro shop. These are genuin "let me do whatever I can to help you" folks!!! I highly recommend you look up Kay as she is one of the managers and and outstanding services orientated person. She is top notch.....
If your group is in the area I think you should give it a shot.......happy golfing!

LOS ANGELES—"Today" weekend anchor Jenna Wolfe says she and NBC news correspondent Stephanie Gosk are expecting a baby girl in August.
Wolfe, 39, made her announcement on NBC's morning show Wednesday, saying, "I'm quite pregnant, actually." The baby is due in mid-August.
"You kept a secret pretty good," "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie told Wolfe.
In a blog posted on the "Today" website, Wolfe said she and Gosk, 40, were two years into their relationship when they realized they wanted to "share our adventures with a wide-eyed little person."
In a People magazine story out Friday, Wolfe discussed why the couple decided to share news of their pregnancy and relationship. As Wolfe put it: "I don't want to bring my daughter into a world where I'm not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is."
Other TV journalists who have come out as gay include Anderson Cooper of CNN, Sam Champion of ABC and CNN's Don Lemon.

Title says it all. You are more then invited to come find me and chat. I will be at the 2 day time (Wednesday and Thursday) ask the experts sessions as well as the KMDF lab which is running Wednesday morning. Other then that, I will be around WinHEC but I couldn't tell you definitively where. I could tell you that all you needed to do is find the guy in the slacks and blue long sleeve Microsoft shirt, but every Microsoft person is wearing the same thing ;).
Hopefuly I will have time to write some entries this week, but that really depends on how much free time I have at the conference. Hope to see some of you there.

Inadvertent Homeschooling
Inadvertent. Not resulting from deliberate planning.
There are times when our Homeschooling looks almost unintentional. Inadvertent even.
Where learning and activities and themes just seem to happen, to arise from the dust and, like a Phoenix, to arise in glory.
I call this inadvertent Homeschooling. Where themes and connections appear to happen almost inadvertently...without deliberate planning. Just by being and doing.
The old maxim fail to plan, plan to fail does not consistently apply in Homeschooling. There are times, many times, many seasons, where deliberately choosing not to plan but to mosey along is the right path. Leads to learning.
And to our inadvertent themes.
Not themes of work planned and implemented and tweaked as we go.
But themes that must happen...so that one day, filling out our journal or log, talking, thinking about an outing or a book, we realize that there has been a theme and connection in our life and learning. Looks good on paper. Our thematic learning. Post and not pre-programmed. Recognized and written in our log after the fact.
Like our Australian unit this year.
Who knew we were going to get into Australian history?
Yet, looking back on the months so far of 2011, I see a theme, placed inadvertently amongst a visit to the King Tut museum, to trips to Melbourne, amidst some Maths and Physics and Latin and debates on liturgy.
We moved house. In the unpacking, Anthony rediscovered the My Story books, novels set in differing periods of Australian history. I began to find these left on a chair or a sofa, as he reread .
Looking for a post Easter activity, I remembered a reasonably local museum. So off we traipsed and learned about local Australian history and geography.
Awhile later, we were discussing church architecture and Anthony mentioned that he had wanted to visit the crypt of St Mary's Cathedral. Another outing, this time just we two, And a visit to the crypt told the story of colonial Sydney. Which made me drag out our copies of The Pictorial History of the Catholic Church in Australia.
Then, I found a leaflet about the Rocks Discovery Museum...the early settlement of Sydney Town. With wandering around the Rocks and Sydney Harbour and pancakes for lunch to follow.
Now if someone asks what-we-are-doing-for-school, we can say Australian history. Inadvertently.
Who knew that 2011 would involve Homeschooling with Australian history?
We deliberately failed to plan but no, we haven't failed. We have learned. We have had fun.
The learning inadvertent to life and fun.

Brilliant, so true. It was the constant failure of my learning plans that finally woke me to the fact learning plans are not necessarily helpful (which is me being polite) rather than that I am a failure as a teacher. It was always when those plans were discarded, changed, or extended out of all existence that real learning got done. Since giving up planning at all, so much learning has happened.
