- Personally, I put 21 Points into Defense, and 9 into Utility, because I like to play a more aggressive game than most, which means I need as much mitigation/damage reduction as I can get. Many of you will say that as Yi you should never get hit, but late game when you will have a few tower suicides, the few extra swings you get while living are the difference between a turret or inhibitor going down or staying up.
Summoner Spells
Heal, Teleport
- Heal is my personal choice, this skill is up to you
- Teleport, however, is a must. A must.
Red - Armor Penetration
- Most casters don't get armor so you can max out your armor pen just from Runes
Yellow - Health or Attack Speed
- Red's attack speed is greater, but armor pen is great. Yellows are a quick way to make up for your lack of attack speed items
Blue - Cooldown reduction
- Amazing Ultimate and a quick get on their ass move being available more often? Yes please
Quintessence - Attack Speed
- Not buying attack speed items, this is a free 10%
Some people may switch an Avarice Blade for some mana regen, but it's up to you if you want to go 2 or 3 farming blades.
1 - Avarice Blade
- Cheap Crit early game. Get as early as possible to get the most of your 5 gold every 10 sec
2 - Avarice Blade
- Yes, two of them
3 - Avarice Blade (or Berserker Boots)
- The boots are the only attack speed item that I purchase. At this point you can either grab 3 Avarice Blades to farm the **** out of the game early, or if you are around level 6 by now, grab the boots and start chasing down champions. Either choice has its benefits. Even grabbing 3 farming blades is not a bad idea, as you still get quite a nice cheap low level Crit Bonus.
4 - Berserker Boots (Avarice Blade, or skip to 5)
5 - Infinity Edge
- With the 36% (or 24% if you only got two) Crit from your farming blades, the 250% Crit Damage is huge. Not only is this going to help with champ killing, but the 80 Damage is great for tower diving late game when Crit doesn't matter and you are replacing your Avarice Blades with Damage or Speed Items.
6 - Phage
- Attacking as fast as Yi does, you don't really need the guaranteed slow so Phage is enough for me, but it's up to you if you wanna go end game with it or not.
7 - Phantom Dancer (for Dodge and Movement Speed) or Last Whisper (for armor pen)
- Up to you really at this point in the game, but towards the end I prefer to start boosting attack speed.
Ideally you want to solo early game, but if that is not availble then make sure you are harassing champs early so your lane partner goes elsewhere. Try to tower farm if you are soloing. Once you hit level 6 is when you want to start focus on champ killing. Do not attempt to chase through tower fire, it is not worth it. Making your enemy Recall is just as good as killing him. For this build you are trying to beat everyone else to level 12.
Once you reach level 10 or 11 start pushing your first tower. It should go down in anywhere between 10 and 15 seconds depending on item choice.
Level 12 is when **** hits the fan. Yi is the master of ninja and he proves it every game. Start by asking for a gank if needed or wait til lane opponent goes somewhere else. You need to make sure you have nothing in your way. Now is the time to hit the second turret before they realize what has hit them. After turret is dead, Recall, buy items, heal, and check other lanes. If everything else is under control, try to assist someone else's push to draw in enemy champs. When you see 3-4 champs accounted for, port quickly to your lane, kill any creeps asap, and head towards third turret. Make sure you have either 6 minions or 3 minions and a cannon before attempting third tower. The second you get there, hit R and E as fast as possible with the biggest object to have to make sure they are going off at the same time. Ignore all minions while killing turret. You should have third turret down in about 5 seconds. Run straight to inhibitor. Focus it. Immediately. If you can take out the turret leaving inhib exposed, or the inhib itself, your death is worth the sacrifice.
Now that your lane is fully open, feel free to assist others with the same thing, drawing champs away from your original lane. When you see 1-2 huge minions in front (and your R and E are bright and ready for popping), go for the inner turrets. Chances are you will get either 1 or both down, but will die while doing it. That is fine, suicide is now a fine option, as long as you are taking down at least 1/4 of their turret's health each time.
Around level 17-18 (or whenever you have enough gold and no inventory slots) is when you are going to start selling Avarice Blades (since your gold flow is plenty and you no longer need crit to Tower Dive) and replacing them with either attack speed or damage items. Attack speed is nice for more double hits, but damage makes them hit less often but much much harder.
General Notes
I have had many games where I will go 2/11/2 with 10 Building Kills, and we win. Even with a score of close to equal, or even in your opponent's favor, the game is in your hand individually. I have carried many feeders to a stealthy win, and while testing other champs, I have lost to another person doing the same thing you have just spent all this time reading.
*******http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/9030/leagueoflegends20090913.png/******** - SS of Victory screen, with my typical stats (8/12/2 with 11 Building Kills). This was not a bad team we were against, but this build proves again to be too much. They can either push or defend, not both. Yi is too fast. Even with one or two champs on him he can still kill an entire turret or inhibitor. In this SS you will notice I do not have Phage. That is because, if by the time you are about to get it, you can tell you will be strictly tower diving and not champ killing, go for Phantom Dancer for movement and attack speed.
Thanks for reading and good luck with Yi.
TL;DR - Yi will murk your face, read to learn how
Senior Recruiter
nice guide and a completely different why of playing my favorite champ
Deadly Paradox
Senior Member
Honestly, looking at the score image and the masteries, this build will fail against the average cookie cutter Yi build.
Cho'gath nearly outfarmed you, which shouldn't be happening. With mastery points invested into Defense instead of Offense, you lose out on much needed damage, resulting in loss against any other competent carry.
29-17 is my record with no arranged teams, playing not even a month. It seems to work well
EDIT: Most of those losses, also, are not with Yi
I saw somebody(a level 0 leaver... who I had seen a few weeks ago, still at level 0, but anyway) use this item build. It's not the best for Yi imo. You're placing all your hopes into criticals, without the assistance of any items giving Yi something to help keep him alive long enough to crit.
Sorry this build is terrible
IMHO the post creator is right, in this game doesnt matter a lot if you die often, but if you push - with the right champ of course.
Yi is a pain in the a**, able to solo push a lane in seconds, and surprise you every time: "What? Is this my inhibitor turret going down?"
It is true that he will die, but the sacrifice will be worth it. I dont play this champion, but I saw him in action a lot of times and I hate him.
For me this is a valid, but risky, strategy. Can give you a victory, but your team should support you defending. If not, the feeding will be too much and the other team will outpower you with all the nice items bought thanks to kill you.
Anyway thanks for sharing the guide, and keep destroying turrets! Your team will be happy!

Bridgeview, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Landon Donovan's 74th-minute goal rescued a point for the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday as the club earned a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park.
Following a dull first 45 minutes, Jeff Larentowicz fired Chicago in front with a penalty kick in the 68th minute, only for Donovan to cancel out that tally six minutes later, earning the club its seventh point from the past three games.
A turnover by the Galaxy in the first half led to the only real chance in the opening 45 minutes that was squandered by a poor finish from Chicago's Quincy Amarikwa.
The Galaxy failed to put a shot on goal in the opening half, but they had a good look at goal in the 61st minute that saw Robbie Keane's goal-bound effort blocked by defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado.
Five minutes later, Amarikwa drew a foul just inside the penalty area on Juninho, allowing Larentowicz to step to the spot and send goalkeeper Jaime Penedo the wrong way.
The lead lasted just six minutes, however, as Robbie Rogers stole the ball in the offensive third and delivered a cross to the back post for Donovan to apply the final touch.
Chicago had one final chance nine minutes from time, and it took a great save from Penedo to keep out a long-range rocket from Larentowicz.

Look at this cute silver schnauzer yawning. This picture was taken right at the perfect moment where the miniature schnauzer was showing everybody how tired he was at the moment. He's wearing a cute basketball jersey cheering on his favorite team. Do you have a silver schnauzer of your own? Share your pictures with us!
White Schnauzer
There is controversy surrounding the white schnauzer because American Kennel Club, or AKC, does not recognize white schnauzers in conformation shows and disqualifies them. Even though they are colors from the original breed standards and also they are not albino dogs. They are still disqualified from conformation shows. The white schnauzer is a very popular dog in Europe and as show dogs.
This white schnauzer enjoys a brisk stroll through the forest and exploring the outdoors. He wears a bell on his collar so that the owners can hear him coming.

Miniature Schnauzer Puppy Pictures
Look at these miniature schnauzer puppy pictures. This black mini schnauzer is only 2 and a half weeks old. He was one of the smaller of the litter but look how cute this schnauzer is. For more miniature schnauzer puppy pictures, check out the Schnauzer Forum.
Schnauzers Pictures
Some more schnauzers pictures. This mini schnauzer's name is Katy, she's about 5 years old (in human years) and about 36 years old in dog years. With un-cropped ears and a big bushy beard and big eyebrows, she is relaxing after playing with her toy.
Notice that the inside of her ears are pink. They should be this color and her ears need to be kept clean because Schnauzers are susceptible to ear infections, especially if her ears are floppy. If you take your schnauzer swimming, make sure to dry them as soon as she gets out. Remember to check their ears often and smell them for any infections. If it smells like rotten cheese, there is probably an infection going on and it needs to be cleaned.
If you have schnauzers pictures, please post them on the Schnauzer Forums.
Schnauzer Mixes | Which Schnauzer Mix Is Right For You?
Schnauzer mixes have been all the rage lately with the trend stemming from socialites and their toy dog breeds. There are a few schnauzer mixes that are available right now, of course none of them being purebred breeds.
In fact, these hybrid dogs or also known as designer dogs, are probably not bred from purebreds to create the schnauzer mix. What is done is called a multi-generational cross breeding process that is used to engineer these schnauzer mixes. They will take a mix of a mix from across generations to create the schnauzer mix. So in other words, your schnauzer mix is not a mix of 2 purebred breeds, but of 2 mixes of each of those 2 breeds.
Here are the top schnauzer mixes starting from the most popular schnauzer mix to the least. (Click the links below to learn more about the Schnauzer Mix)
Schnauzer Mixed with Maltese
This is the most popular schnauzer mix because of the reasons why people like schnauzers and Maltese. Mauzers are small and compact but has the intelligence of a schnauzer. This schnauzer mix will remain the most popular because of the popularity of the Maltese.
Schnauzer Mixed with Poodle
You may have heard of a schnoodle before because it is one of the most popular schnauzer mixes. It is a cross between a mini schnauzer and a poodle. This gives a schnauzer mix which is really cute and encompasses a lot of the traits of a schnauzer.
Schnauzer Mixed with Yorkie
Schnorkies are a close second/third in popularity because of their size. With the increasing demand for small toy like breeds, more and more people are flocking to get a schnorkie because it is basically a toy schnauzer. Because the naturally small size of the Yorkie, it makes this schnauzer mix very small and up to 11 pounds.
Schnauzer Mixed with Pomeranian
This schnauzer mix is not as popular but is still on the market today. It takes the Pomeranian which is pretty popular and combines it with a schnauzer to create this unique schnauzer mix. With the mini schnauzer in the top 20 most popular breeds, it is no wonder people like to mix it with their small breeds.
Schnauzer Mixed with Pug
These schnauzer mixes are the most unique of them all. The pudgy size of a pug combined with a scruffy look of a schnauzer. You may be seeing more and more of this schnauzer mix in the years to come.
What are some schnauzer mixes that you have seen before? Share your thoughts with us in a comment below or in the Schnauzer Forums.
Schnauzer Mix with Yorkie | Schnorkie
The Schnorkie is a schnauzer mix with a Yorkie. These are not purebred and most likely are bred using multi-generation crossing of Schnauzer mixes and Yorkies. The Yorkshire terrier and Mini Schnuazer make a good mix because they are both terrier. Just like the schnauzer, Schnorkies are very smart, and have a high energy level.
They can be very loving and clever. Schnorkies also do not shed which most likely come from the schnauzer mix. They will do well indoors, but be sure to walk them daily so they can get exercise and this helps them expel energy. By doing well, they will be easier to train. Schnorkies grow to be anywhere from 7 pounds to 12 pounds and are rather small. Their height can range from 8 inches to 11 inches because Yorkies are small to begin with. The Schnorkie pictured is a puppy but will not grow any larger than that size because of the naturally small size of Yorkshire terriers.
Do you have a schnauzer mix of your own? Is it a schnorkie? Share your pictures on the Schnauzer Mix Forum.
Schnauzer Mixes with Poodle | Schnoodle
Another one of the popular schnauzer mixes these days with the introduction of toy dog breeds is the schnauzer mixed with a poodle — called a schnoodle. With toy dogbreeds getting more popular because of social culture, schoodles have also risen in popularity. Not being a purebred dog, the schnoodle is a schnauzer mix with a poodle. Getting most of it's positive temperaments from the schnauzer, the schnoodle is intelligent and can get trained easily.
Also like a schnauzer, schnoodles can be very affectionate, friendly, and are great with children. From the schnauzer mix, schnoodles don't shed at all and are perfect for apartment life because of their small size. Like a schnauzer, snoodles must be commanded with assertiveness in your voice or they may not take you seriously. This pictured schnoodle is still a puppy but will not grow much bigger than that. Some schnoodles do get up to 15 pounds or so, but they don't get very big.
What are you thoughts on these schnauzer mixes and this schoodle? Share your opinions here: Schnauzer Mixes Forum
Schnauzer Mix with a Pug | Schnug
A Schnug or also known as a Shnug is a schnauzer mix with a pug. Because pugs and schnauzers are both great with kids, you can expect your schnauzer mix or Schnug to also be excellent with children. This hybrid schnauzer mix has the features of a pug, but resembles the scruffy face of a schnauzer. One thing to be careful with these designer mixes is that you oftentimes will not get a purebred schnauzer mixed with a purebred pug. What is done more often is that what breeders do is use multi-generation crosses to breed these mixes. They will use a schnauzer mix and a pug from a generation before and mix it with another schnauzer mix and pug to create the Schnug.
What do you think about this schnauzer mix? Share your thoughts in the Schnauzer Mix Forum
Schnauzer Mixes and Pomeranian | Schnauzeranian
Getting popular these days are schnauzer mixes with other breeds. Because the desirability of having a small dog like a mini schnauzer that is both very intelligent and friendly is why so many breeders are creating these schnauzer mixes. The newest of these schnauzer mixes is called a Schnauzeranian. What the heck is a Schnauzeranian, you ask? It is a schnauzer mix with a pomeranian, hence the Schnauzeranian. Try saying Schnauzeranian five times fast!
Maltese and Schnauzer Mix | Mauzer
One of the new Schnauze mixes today that's popular is the Maltese and Schnauzer mix, conveniently called the Mauzer. The Maltese and Schnauzer mix is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club as one of their hybrid dogs. Just like the mini schnauzer, the mauzer gets a lot of it's personality from the schnauzer mix of the breeding. They are energetic and very friendly like a schnauzer and also very loving. Also because of the schnauzer mix, mauzers are very obedient and intelligent. They play well with children and are excellent watchdogs. These Maltese and Schnauzer mixes can grow to the same size as a mini schnauzer at around 15 pounds and they do not shed very much hair.

The Klondike Gold
Rush Trail (part
II) - 15 days/ 14 nights -
1896: George Carmack and his two Indian companions discovered gold in a small tributary creek of the Klondike River initiating the greatest Gold Rush the world had ever seen. At the peak of the Gold Rush in 1898 more than a hundred thousand adventurers from all over the world migrated towards the Yukon Territory. 40,000 actually reached the destination of their dreams - The Klondike and only a few hundred gained wealth. The gold seekers had to carry their equipment under gruelling conditions across the feared Chilkoot Pass. From Lake Bennet they continued their journey north to the Klondike with primitive self-made boats or floats. On our 750 kilometre (470 miles) journey on the Yukon River we follow the original Klondike Route in a 12 passenger voyageur canoe* all the way north to Dawson City. The once feared Five Finger Rapids and the Rink Rapids are no problem for our big canoe. The smooth gliding on the mighty Yukon River, the stillness and vastness of the wilderness are providing unforgettable impressions of the wild north.
* Eight to twelve passenger canoes, as they were used by the Hudson Bay Company fur traders

Almost far worse
As I mentioned below, updates will be limited for the rest of the day. For full coverage of Ike's aftermath — which, I hasten to say, is plenty destructive, notwithstanding all the "could have been worse" talk below — I recommend the various blogs and local media outlets listed in my sidebar at right. Local sites like the Houston Chronicle staff blog and the CBS 11 and ABC 13 blogs have more and better coverage of the storm's impact than I would in any case, from my distant perch in East Tennessee.
Anyway… Dr. Jeff Masters says that, notwithstanding the miscalculations of the storm-surge computer models, Ike was almost far worse for Galveston:
Although Ike caused heavy damage by flooding Galveston with a 12-foot storm surge, the city escaped destruction thanks to its 15.6-foot sea wall (the wall was built 17 feet high, but has since subsided about 2 feet). The surge was able to flow into Galveston Bay and flood the city from behind, but the wall prevented a head-on battering by the surge from the ocean side. Galveston was fortunate that Ike hit the city head-on, rather than just to the south. Ike's highest storm surge occurred about 50 miles to the northeast of Galveston, over a lightly-populated stretch of coast. Galveston was also lucky that Ike did not have another 12-24 hours over water. In the 12 hours prior to landfall, Ike's central pressure dropped 6 mb, and the storm began to rapidly organize and form a new eyewall. If Ike had had another 12-24 hours to complete this process, it would have been a Category 4 hurricane with 135-145 mph winds that likely would have destroyed Galveston. The GFDL model was consistently advertising this possibility, and it wasn't far off the mark. It was not clear to me until late last night that Ike would not destroy Galveston and kill thousands of people. Other hurricane scientists I conversed with yesterday were of the same opinion.
These are the sorts of last-minute variables that cannot be predicted, with any precision or certainty, more than a few hours in advance — which is further proof of why it's so ridiculous and irresponsible to cry "hype" every single time a prediction just barely goes amiss. Hurricane forecasting can truly be a game of inches.
Those people who refused to evacuate Galveston Island, and other vulnerable low-lying areas, are still fools. They're just fools who lucked out. Unfortunately, that probably means that some of them are now emboldened fools. But at least they're not dead fools, and thank God for that.

ENG 317 001Seventeenth-Century LiteratureSeries V (T 4:00 pm-6:30 pm)Russell Hillier"Be no longer so horridly, hellishly, impudently, arrogantly wicked as to judge what is sin, what not, what evil and what not, what blasphemy and what not." — Abiezer Coppe
"Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust,
Like diamonds we are cut with our own dust." — John Webster
"Do well, and right, and let the world sinke." — George Herbert
Seventeenth-century England, as a popular ballad of 1643 depicted the epoch, was "a world turned upside down." It was a century in which a bloody Civil War was waged between fathers, brothers, and sons. It was an age in which the killing of a King by his people was conceived and executed. The literature of this period reflects this social upheaval, but its poetry and prose also scintillate with timeless political, philosophical, theological ideas that are as dangerous as they are exciting. Here is an embarrassment of riches: the glory of Jacobean drama; the soul-stirring poetry of John Donne, George Herbert, Andrew Marvell, Aemilia Lanyer, and Henry Vaughan; the radical writings of Rachel Speght; the entrancing babble of the counter-cultural hipster and Ranter Abiezer Coppe; the compelling polemic of the proto-communist and Digger Gerrard Winstanley; John Bunyan's great allegory The Pilgrim's Progress; the weird and wonderful prose of Sir Thomas Browne and Robert Burton; The Bloody Tenent of Persecution, which was composed by Roger Williams, the non-conformist founder of Rhode Island; and the breath-stopping verse of the blind bard John Milton.

Readings may include Plato, Aristotle, Coleridge, Nietzsche, Freud, Derrida, Foucault, Nussbaum, and Cixous. Prerequisite for students writing a senior thesis.
This course is a study of the tradition in English of literary writing that engages with, imagines, and depicts the nonhuman world (ie, the 'environment'), and illuminates the complex relationship between it and human culture. Because of the breadth of this tradition, the course is not structured chronologically, but rather around a number of thematic 'points of contact' between human imagination and the nonhuman world, including but not limited to:
• the connection between nature and religious or spiritual life;
• the idea of wilderness (and its obverse, the idea of 'civilization,' the city, and the built environment)
• food and food production;
• agrarianism and the 'land ethic';
• ideas about waste and refuse
• the relationship between technology and the body
• environmental justice and globalization
While we will read works from several historical periods, the emphasis will be on contemporary works that interact with these themes, and in so doing, develop longstanding concerns of environmental writing in English. Authors studied may include Gilbert White, Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Barbara Kingsolver, Wendell Berry, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Margaret Atwood, Amitav Ghosh, Ruth Ozeki, Mary Oliver, Gary Snyder, W.S. Merwin, Derek Walcott, and others.
This course offers a practical history of poetic forms. You will learn about the varieties of blank verse, ballad stanzas, ottava rima, free verse, and much else, by practicing the writing of these forms. As both a survey of poetry from the renaissance to the twentieth century and also a study in creative writing, the course should be of interest to any student who wants to learn about rhythm, rhyme, and the history of the language from the inside. Good for both aspiring artists and aspiring scholars. Assignments include weekly readings from some of the best poets in English and from handbooks on prosody and weekly exercises in original composition.
ENG 481 002 Seminar: England in Literature & FilmSeries E (MR 10:00 am-11:15 am)Elizabeth BridghamWhat is it to be English? How does Englishness differ from Britishness? How is England today different from (or similar to) England at the height of the British Empire? Concepts of nationality are slippery at best, shifting over time and skewed by concepts like patriotism, tradition, race and ethnicity, and religion. This course will examine England's idea of itself through the lens of its nineteenth- through twenty-first-century novels and films. Our study will be organized around a variety of perspectives on the nation: England's relationship to its own history and its repercussions, political and military crises, England's varied landscape and the changing global environment. Representative authors may include Dickens, Gaskell, Hardy, Forster, Huxley, Rhys, and Gaiman, and films may include The Bridge on the River Kwai, A Passage to India, Blow-Up, Chariots of Fire, 28 Days Later, and The Queen. As we read, watch, and discuss these works, we will take a virtual tour of the UK, studying the different regions, cultures, and subcultures that comprise the nation.
ENG 499 - Senior ThesisDesigned for seniors wishing to undertake a significant research project. Students work with a faculty advisor who will guide them from the planning stages of the thesis to its completion. A written proposal must be approved by a faculty advisor and department chair before registering. The thesis will be evaluated by the advisor and a second reader. Prerequisite: ENG 400

Mila Kunis just pulled a Patrick Dempsey and may have saved a man's life ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell TMZ ... a 50-year-old man -- who works in Mila's house -- collapsed Saturday in her L.A. home. He suffered a violent seizure ... choking, coughing up blood and vomiting. He had bitten through his tongue.
A person on scene tells us ... Mila came running, had her friend call 911, then rushed to the man's side.
We're told the 28-year-old actress grabbed the man's head ... turned it to the side so he wouldn't choke ... while another person stuffed a wallet in his mouth so he wouldn't swallow his tongue.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... paramedics arrived on scene, rushed the man to the hospital, and he's since made a full recovery. We're told Mila volunteered to ride in the ambulance, but it wasn't necessary.
Mila had quite the week. The day before, her alleged stalker was taken away in cuffs after he showed up at her gym.
Don't put things in a seizing person's mouth! That is very dangerous. I had seizures as a kid, and all that people are supposed to do is move things away from the person so they don't hurt themselves.
I am a nurse. During a seizure, never attempt to put something in the mouth. Clear the area around the person such as desks, tables, etc. Loosen any clothing if possible, such as neckties, etc. Try and protect the person from injuring themselves on sharp objects. It is good to time the seizure and if it appears to be lasting more than a few minutes, call 911. If you do not know the person's history, call 911 anyway.
TMZ probably has the vilest comments ever.
Shut up Meg...
It's actually not possible to swallow your tongue. And you should never put anything into a person's mouth when they are hacing a seizure! But Kudos to her for helping.
For the record, you can't swallow your tongue.
Jeebus on a cracker!
You NEVER block a person's airway. Jamming a wallet in his mouth was the WORST thing they could have done!
That's the worst thing you can do to someone who is having a seizure. Holding someone down that is having a seizure can cause further damage. And the wallet. They could have broken his jaw! Looks like Mila and her team need to take 1st Aid CPR training.
you cant say that you stupid idioits....im a paramedic. mila didnt save a life. thats a big deal.....you cant just say that
All those stupid morons here who are trashing Mila, are actually secretly loving her for doing the right thing, and they don't even want to admit it to themselves. Get a life you losers, don't just trash someone because they are more successful then you in life, judge people from what they are as human beings, I think this incident shows that Mila has a heart of gold, I love her.
you're not suppose to put anything in the mouth though, you can't actually swallow your tongue, but she did a good job for someone who maybe wasn't trained in first aid or cpr.
I want to pretend I'm drowning near her at a pool. "Thanks for the 10 minutes of rescue breathing, Mila, you saved my life!" (shows a thumbs up to the dudes behind her).
& whomever said she looks plain must have been female.

Return to the Advent calendar.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.…

Introduction and interview by Bill McGarvey …
It is no surprise that a young seeker—as Morgan Atkinson was back in the mid-1970s—would be interested in the life of Thomas Merton. Merton's journey from poet, artist and bohemian to poet, writer, artist, activist, mystic monk has all the required elements of adventure, risk and creativity that easily sets fire to the imagination of a young man looking to find his way in the world.
But, unlike so many fascinations that grip young minds for a brief time before being replaced by newer interests, Atkinson's attraction to Merton's life remained strong more than three decades after he first discovered the Trappist from Kentucky. After
Forty years ago today, Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk and perhaps the most popular American Catholic writer in history, stepped out of a bathroom shower during a visit to Bangkok. Slipping on the wet floor, he grabbed a poorly wired fan for support and was electrocuted. For many years, Merton had unsuccessfully sought permission from his superiors to travel outside his monastery in Bardstown, Kentucky. A few months after a new abbot was elected in early 1968, he assented to Merton's request to attend an interfaith conference that December in Thailand. En route he met the Dalai Lama, who called him a "Catholic geshe…," or spiritual master.
Merton enjoyed paradoxes, and spoke of himself, like

Last spring, a Pew Forum survey of U.S. religions revealed that American Catholicism is barely treading water, with Latino immigration offsetting the departure of more settled believers from the church. The Religious Landscape Survey of 35,000 Americans set off a storm of finger-pointing within Catholic circles, with many people spouting the conventional wisdom that evangelicals are booming at the expense of Catholic departures.
I recently learned of the Cause of Canonization of the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (the process by which Fulton J. Sheen may become a saint). While I'm not and have never been a Catholic, nor even religious for that matter, I feel compelled to share a deeply personal story involving him that intrigues, puzzles and inspires me to this day.
An Encounter With a King
In 1975, I was an intern reporter for WROC-TV news in Rochester, New York. The Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a famous priest who wrote numerous books and hosted a television series entitled Life is Worth Living… (still seen today).
He'd also served as the Bishop of the Diocese of Rochester earlier in his career, and was back in town to deliver a noontime
We found out over the phone, while on vacation. The housesitter called us to tell us that he was at the animal hospital back home with our cat, Smokey. And then he put the vet on the line. We heard about age-related kidney disease, complete renal failure. We learned that medication and intravenous fluids might help keep him alive another month—or maybe just another week.
A few years ago during Yom Kippur, the holiest holiday on the Jewish calendar, I was in a little wooden synagogue on the Lower East Side of New York City. The rabbi, a venerable man whose voice carried throughout the temple, was extremely charismatic. For the first time in my temple-going life, I found myself listening intently to the sermon.
Faith, spirituality and religion are too often looked upon as the province of "experts" who spend all their time in places of worship. At BustedHalo.com we frequently hear from readers who desperately want to explore their spiritual questions but feel alienated from traditional faith communities. The fact of the matter is that the experience of sacredness is as unique and personal as our fingerprints, but we sometimes fail to recognize these moments as God's way of speaking to us in our everyday lives.
"Where's God?" is our attempt to look more imaginatively at the movement of grace in each of our lives and chronicle the countless different ways God is at work.…

I woke up this morning in my nice cozy hotel room thinking about my companions sleeping out in the dewy cold air at Randwick Racetrack and awaiting the Papal Mass amidst 150,000 young pilgrims. When I left them the place was packed and kissy-faced teens were starting to huddle together, others were breaking out footballs and hackey-sacks. My only thought at leaving my 10 young adult female friends out there amongst the teens was simply: Better them than me.
However, revenge is often sweet indeed. Upon awaking a bit later than I had planned I tried to take a taxi over to the racetrack and was snubbed by all the cabbies. No cars allowed anywhere near the racetrack. So I took a subway to the Central Train Station and…

This morning the U.S. Bishops celebrated mass outdoors for American Youth at The Domain—a first at World Youth Day. It was a vibrant mass with superb music and great preaching by the Cardinal-Archbishop of Chicago Francis Cardinal George, who is also the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Since I'm traveling with Chicagoians I got to meet the Cardinal after mass and gave him a copy of my book, Googling God. He was a very gracious man and spent a good deal of time with the folks from his Archdiocese and engaged almost all of us in conversation. Considering that he's still recovering from cancer and that his legs aren't strong to begin with (he had polio as a child)…
An on the spot report to start:
A consistent theme I'm finding among young adults here—and one that's also been heralded by many members of the clergy here at World Youth Day—is the struggle of being embarrassed of being Catholic. In secular society, religion is often a taboo subject, relegated to "a private matter" for most people. In other segments of the world, religion is a nuisance, at best, or a complete farce—something that is overly restrictive, or a fantasy that one tells themselves out of comfort. At World Youth Day those pressures simply disappear.
Below are interviews with some young adults who talk very openly about their struggles with being…
When Pope John Paul II's would-be assasin, Mehmet Ali Agca, was released from a Turkish jail last week after serving almost 25 years behind bars — except for the complete transformation of his hair from jet black to grey—the man who emerged looked strikingly similar to the person who inhabits one of the more enduring images that I hold dear of the late pope. In that scene John Paul is huddled in a corner talking quietly at close range with the man who tried to kill him. It was an extraordinary act of forgiveness that continues to be extremely rare—if not unheard of — on the world stage and one I don't remember nearly enough in my own life.
After Agca shot John Paul II six times at close range while thousands of pilgrims looked on in St. Peter's Square, people around the world were shocked. "Who would want to kill a Pope?" was the question on many people's lips. "He should get the chair," my mother remarked angrily. And we all agreed.
Breaking the endless cycle
It was an understandable reaction. Think about it, how often do any of us forgive or ask forgiveness for the many comparatively small transgressions in our own lives? How often in our history books, filled with accounts of hatred and violence, do we come across unpredictable acts like this that break the endless cycle of vengeance? Months after his recovery, the Pope's visit to his attacker in prison was a radical step in a different direction. He looked at his would-be killer in the eye, conversed with him, shook his hand, and even prayed for him!

House extends funding
Senate, along with a separate Senate bill that would extend the authorization for highway spending for 18 months, as well.
Senate leaders and the Obama administration have backed an 18-month extension mostly on the grounds that it will give Congress ample time to consider long-term changes in highway programs, including financing. But House transportation leaders, led by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee James Oberstar, D-Minn., are resisting that idea, saying Congress should not wait so long to deal with vital infrastructure and safety challenges.
Oberstar and other House transportation leaders have drafted a full six-year bill that would make significant changes in highway programs, including a mandate for electronic onboard recorders and creation of a clearinghouse of positive drug and alcohol test results. An extension of only three months maintains pressure for Congress to address the highway authorization again in some way before year-end.

Daimler execs detail difficult market
Andreas Renschler, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, parent company of Daimler Trucks North America, painted a dark picture of the truck market amid the economic turmoil of the past two years.
"We are used to typical business cycles in the truck market, but this time the so-called downside is longer and deeper than ever before," he said at an Oct. 7 speech in New York.
He cited a 50 percent decline in the worldwide market for trucks, with close to a 70 percent downturn since 2006 for North America.
And while both he and new DTNA President and CEO Martin Daum insisted that markets around the world had hit bottom in the second quarter, "It remains to be seen if [a recovery] is really sustainable," Renschler said. "No company anywhere has been immune."
He said a 9 percent increase in North American orders from July to August was evidence "our countermeasures are working." Cash flow, meanwhile, remains positive, and the two Daimler executives predicted a 10 percent gain in orders in 2010 over 2009.
Daum said strategies in North America include a focus on operational excellence and efficiency, starting with more flexibility in U.S. plant capacity. That will include shifting workers from a hire/fire model to time banks, prevalent in Europe, to keep pay coming at a consistent rate in down production times.

NAVISTAR displayed an all-electric commercial truck built with the help of a $39 million U.S. Department of Energy grant. The trucks are designed for maximum efficiency in urban environments. Navistar says it intends to build 400 all-electric delivery trucks in 2010 at its facility in Elkhart County, Ind., and expects within a few years to be producing several thousand vehicles annually as the market grows.
IN OAKLAND, Calif., the Board of Port Commissioners has adopted a strict truck ban, effective Jan. 1, 2010. Drayage trucks with engine year models earlier than 1994 will be banned at the Port of Oakland, and drayage trucks with engine year models between 1994 and 2003 have to be retrofitted with diesel particulate filters to enter port facilities.

The phone lines at the citys Department of Utilities have been jammed this morning with residents seeking to take advantage of a cash for grass program.
The city is still trying to figure out how to implement a program approved by the City Council on Tuesday that will issue rebates to homeowners who replace their lawns with drought tolerant landscaping.
For now, city utilities spokeswoman Jessica Hess says that residents should call 311 and ask for a water wise house call. A water conservation specialist will come out to your home, measure your lawn and place you on the wait list for the lawn rebate plan. Specialists will also give you tips on how to save water.
Hess said the city expects to begin issuing rebates to qualified homeowners in May. The city is exploring giving 50 cents per square foot of lawn, up to 1,000 square feet.

Green Valley firefighter/EMT Diane Vetter has invented a product that's catching on in fire agencies across Arizona. It's called the Vetter belt. Vetter, an avid climber, constructed the belt using materials used by rock climbers suck as straps and clips.
The Vetter belt is used to help patients who have fallen but have not been injured. She got the idea about six years ago when she responded to a call to help a 600 lb man back on his feet. The call put a big strain on firefighters, so she set out to find a more efficient and safer way to help these patients.
The other issue is the safety of the first responders because some Green Valley firefighters have suffered strains and sprains on the job and risked back injury.
"One day we had three calls that used the Vetter belt just at my station alone, so that's three back injuries we prevented in my crew so I think it's been very helpful for all of us," says Vetter.
This latest belt is Vetter's sixth prototype, and other fire departments across Arizona are snatching it up including Goodyear Fire, Rural Metro, and both the Sierra Vista and Nogales agencies.
Vetter plans to now market the device to other types of patient care workers.

Twittering Tips for Beginners - Pogue's Posts Blog - NYTimes.com: "So I've been Twittering for a couple of months, and I've learned a lot. I'm still dubious about Twitter's prospects for becoming a tool for ordinary people (rather than early-adopter techie types).
But one thing's for sure: The whole thing would be a lot more palatable if somebody would explain the basics. Something like this:
* You don't have to open your Web browser and go to Twitter.com to send and receive tweets. In fact, that's just silly. Instead, people download little programs like Twitterific, Feedalizr or Twinkle, they get the updates on their cellphones as text messages, or they use something like PocketTweets, Tweetie or iTweet for the iPhone. I've been using Twitterific for the Mac, which is a tall, narrow window at the side of the screen. Incoming tweets scroll up without distracting you. Much."

Small Space Shopping Guide:
7 Living Room Helpers
I have two big rules when shopping for small space furniture. The first and most important rule is that everything should serve multiple purposes. Rule number two: if I can hang it on the wall, all the better!
1. Wall Mounted Shelves — Whether you buy or DIY, you can customize a lot of storage by mounting shelves on the wall. Place them behind a sofa or fill in a small wall by going floor to ceiling. Use them for as bookshelves or use small boxes to contain little stuff.
Shown: Reclaimed Wood Shelf from West Elm $78 - $118
2. Decorative Boxes — This is an attractive way to stash documents, toys, extra bedding and just about anything else that'll fit. Stack a few under a table or use them on shelving.
Shown: Grey Felt File Box from CB2 $14.99/each
Shown: Audrey Side Table from Urban Outfitters $189
4. C Tables — The base of these clever side tables slide under a sofa or chair, which is great when you have limited floor space. The shape also allows you to use it as a laptop table while sitting in your favorite easy chair.
Shown: IKEA STOCKHOLM Side table $99.99
5. Storage Ottomans — Ottomans are already pretty darn great. They're a place to put your feet, impromptu coffee tables and emergency seating. Pick one with storage and you'll also have a place to stash remote controls, magazines and other potential clutter.
Shown: Castered Tufted Storage Ottoman from Ballard Designs $399
6. Baskets — These are another great way to stash blankets, magazines and other living room essentials. Baskets are also a little softer so they warm up a space more than a stack of boxes.
Shown: Roll Weave Storage Basket-Ottoman from Crate & Barrel $79.95
7. Wall Mounted Cabinets — Mounting a cabinet on the wall can give you a piece of furniture where you might not think there's enough room. Mount next to an easy chair or use it by the front door as a landing strip. You'll get a surface for drinks or knick knacks as well as some extra hidden storage.
Shown: WonderWall 2 Drawer Cabinet from BluDot $699

nice post! you cover a lot of good points.
That Roll Weave Storage Basket-Ottoman solves two problems in my apartment: a place to rest my feet whilst watching TV and a comfy home for my cobras!
sadly, the felt file boxes pictured are $59.95 apiece, not $14.99...
enzosmom - great table but I bet I could make it myself for less than $950! And Mike in Hawaii - thanks for making me laugh.
My rules are it should be lightweight and fold up if possible and have wheels. There are great folding bookshelves, tables, chairs etc...and wheels are so important especially if you have heavy objects like computers etc. on them.
Have the Ballard Designs ottoman and it's awesome. $399 is base price - depending on fabric it can be up to $600.
Is that an old plank with two brackets for $80? Did I just see that?
- and it's made in India? We can't find an old 2-ft plank in America? How much "making" is involved here?
Wikipedia says so I guess.
Target now has boxes similar to those now under their Threshhold brand. They're under $14 I think and weirdly, they're the perfect size for the Ikea Expedit.
I love that ikea "C" table, but the link only leads to the Stockholm collection, and searching for it doesn't work. What am I missing?

Remember Aasia Bibi one year after death sentence for blasphemy
Country/Region: South and East Asia, Pakistan
This month marks the first anniversary of Christian mother Aasia Bibi's death sentence for blasphemy in Pakistan; please continue to remember her in your prayers as she awaits an appeal against her conviction.
Aasia Bibi
She has been in jail since June 2009, when she was accused of making derogatory remarks about Muhammad. The allegation was made following an argument between Aasia and fellow women field-labourers, which started when they refused to drink water that she had fetched because she was a Christian. The complaint was made by a local cleric who was not present during the quarrel and heard about the matter afterwards from the other women.
Aasia strongly denied the charge but was sentenced to death on 8 November, 2010; under Pakistan's "blasphemy" laws, "defiling the name of Muhammad" carries a mandatory death penalty.
An appeal was lodged before the Lahore High Court, and Aasia was expected to be executed this month if it failed. But the case has been delayed and is unlikely to be heard any time soon. (http://www.barnabasfund.org/UK/News/Archives/Long-wait-on-death-row-for-Aasia-Bibi-as-appeal-stalls.html)
Two leading Pakistani politicians who have sought to highlight the miscarriage of injustice suffered by Aasia have been shot dead. Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, a Muslim, was murdered in January, and Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti was killed in March.
Aasia's husband Ashiq Masih and the couple's children are in hiding because of fears for their safety.
- That the Lord will keep Aasia and her family safe from those who seek their harm
- That her appeal will soon be heard and will result in her release from prison
- That she will remain strong in her faith throughout this ordeal

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Kids are trading in their Halloween treats for toys are Kool Smiles on Louisville Avenue.
Children are stopping by Kool Smiles to drop off their stock piles of candy in exchange for toys. The candy is to be sent overseas to the troops to remind them of home "sweet" home. The dentists hope this will be a nice treat for our military men and women, but also serve as a teaching tool for kids.
"What we are doing is giving children the opportunity to bring in 25 unopened pieces of candy in exchange for a toy," says Dr. Ashlee Franklin, "we are trying to show our support for troops overseas, as well as letting the kids know that they are able to bring in candy to increase their healthy smiles."
Operation Treats for Troops will end Saturday, November 3, at Kool Smiles at 2820 Louisville Avenue in Monroe.
