Hello, I've been playing piano and keyboard instruments for 25 years, and teaching for 15. More then just a teacher, I like to instill a smart and patient approach to learning. Every student has different needs and desires, and it's important to have a flexible teacher with the experience required to motivate students and play to their strengths!
About Aaron
"I love watching young musicians grow into seasoned players and have had tremendous success with all my students. I believe that learning songs and playing music is a critical element in the learning process of becoming a good drummer/pianist, and musician. This is why I bring a powered PA speaker, mp3 player, and (sometimes) a guitar to my lessons for the student to play along with and learn familiar songs. Over the years I've learned to strike a balance between Reading/Rudiments and Playing/having fun, so as to maintain students interests and growth."

About Danilo
Danilo studied classical trumpet performance at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (Peter Chapman, Steve Emery) as well as percussion and drums with other esteemed faculty members (Rakalam Bob Moses, Jamey Haddad). In addition to his conservatory training, Danilo has studied traditional West African drumming at the Dagbe Cultural Center in Kopeyia, Ghana.
Danilo has performed at many of the premier venues and festivals throughout North America including: Bonnaroo, New Orleans Jazz Festi
Education has long been a passion for Danilo and he has been teaching private music lessons as well as instruction in the Boston public schools for years. Danilo teaches all levels and ages. His students value his patience and ability to find an inspiring path to discovery for each individual. Danilo has also shown himself to be very effective in the classroom setting. He has been a general music teacher in the Boston Public School system as well as teaching master classes and clinics at music schools and universities around the country.
In January 2014, Danilo was invited as a guest artist and educator at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul where he taught and performed for young afghan music students.
Danilo considers his success as a performer to be in a direct relationship with the success of his teaching and he aims to spread to the joy of music making and appreciation as wide as possible.
*** Lesson Details ***
My teaching style is relaxed and supportive while always aiming to increase the knowledge of the student. My strong technical background combined with a deep sense for wide-ranging musical styles allows me to find what inspires a student initially, and use their interests and strengths to lead them to new discovery and technical efficiency.
Private study covers technical aspects of the instrument, including body awareness as well as reading, theory and musical expression and improvisation.
While each individual learns at a different pace, I strive to point out the progress my students have made because I find this recognition of achievement, no matter how small, is essential in a student's continued love of studying music.
*** Studio Equipment ***
lessons in dedicated music room with all instruments and equipment; upright piano, drum set and percussion.

I enjoy working with most of my students, especially those who practice hard. I find all students unique and they response differently to my requests or questions. I feel that very often I need to react spontaneously to their responses. For the beginners I mainly focus on reading musical notes and learning correct rhythmic values. With beginners who haven't played the piano at all I teach finger exercises written finger numbers only. Then I use Piano Adventures theory, lesson, technique and artistry, performance, and popular music books. Although Alfred's and Bastien's methods are well known, I prefer Piano Adventures because they introduce the coordination of right and left hand in more progressive manner. At the beginning the following will be covered.
• Postures at the piano, finger numbers, high and low on the keyboard
• Music alphabet, Intervals
• Musical form, Dynamic marks
• Staff; line notes, space notes
• Time signature, accent mark, legato, staccato
• Basic chords ...
About Amber
Previously I was a rehearsal pianist of operas, II pagliacci by Leoncavallo with Daegu Opera, Snatched by the Gods and Broken Strings by Param Vir with University of Iowa Theatre department, and contemporary operas based on the works by Francesca Cavalli with Temple University Opera. Other than operas I worked with Missoula Children's Theatre for the performance of Aladdin. As a collaborative pianist I performed in numerous concerts and performed in master classes of Joseph Silverstein, Steven Isserlis, Julliard Quartet, Isaac Stern and Richard Stoltzman. I have been teaching piano at the university settings (University of Iowa and Catholic University of Daegu) or privately for 10+ years. Recently I taught at Half Note Music School in Bellevue, WA and was a pianist at St. Columba's Episcopal Church and United Christian Church in Renton, WA.

As my piano student, you will learn so much! I do not work from traditional "cookie cutter" methods; each lesson is customized to take advantage of your own unique interests and abilities. Even if you are just starting out, you will quickly move beyond basic note reading to mastering popular sheet music by your favorite artists in your favorite genres. You will also have the opportunity to explore vocal accompaniment, improvisation, and/or playing the real piano parts along with recordings of your favorite songs. I hold a B.M. degree from Berklee College of Music and I have been teaching piano and performing throughout southern New England for more than three decades. I look forward to helping you achieve your musical goals and dreams on the piano!
About Stan
I also have over four decades of experience as a professional jazz, rock, and theater musician. My experience has taken me from nightclubs to concert stages, as well as television studios, radio stations, and many recording studios.
Finally, I am a published author with several titles dedicated to helping musicians becoming the best they can be.
My teaching style is often referred to as laid-back, gentle, informative, and very supportive. My focus is on enrichment, encouragement, and results.
I don't work with "one-size-fits-all" methods. Each lesson is customized to mak
I teach real music -- students begin playing music they love almost from day-one. For example, many of my piano and guitar students pride themselves on learning to play every song on the Beatles One album ... playing right along with the CD! Reading, playing by ear, improvisation (jamming), singing while you play ... there are so many ways to play and avenues to explore in music.
My studio is spacious (very spacious – no cubicles here!), well-appointed, and very quiet. Unlike music stores and multi-lesson facilities, there are no other lessons on the premises, no drummers going crazy on the other side of the wall. This means students can concentrate better and learn faster. There is also plenty of room for parents and siblings who may wish to sit in on lessons.
I believe that students make the most progress learning music they love and I am very happy to teach every student the style of music he or she loves most.
My most requested genres are: pop, rock, country, blues, classic rock, jazz, and classical. Some students arrive knowing exactly what they want, but most are happy to explore various styles that interest them in search of the perfect fit. It is not at all uncommon for a student to spend part of their lesson polishing up a Beethoven piece or jazz standard, then finish up playing the chords to "Hotel California" along with the CD. Another student might start off their lesson learning a Taylor Swift hit, then move over to doing some blues improvisation. Variety is a wonderful thing and it is highly encouraged!
Over the years, I have taught students from four years old to eighty-somethings. I've taught absolute beginners (most of my students start from square-one), hobbyists, seasoned professionals, even a Grammy nominee and a Grammy winner! Many of my young students have gone on to perform in school bands / jazz bands and/or professionally. In all cases, they acquire a skill that will last for a lifetime and provide joy, enrichment, and satisfaction.
Do you have a song or two in your heart. Contact me today and I will help you reach your musical goals and have a good time doing it!

About Paola D.Close
View Full Profile
I'm an Italian pianist with 15 years of teaching experience and I moved to the US last year because I followed my husband after his decision to accept a position at Boston University as Professor of Piano.
Before coming here I was running a Piano Academy that I founded in 2008, the Accademia Musicale Varesina: it was a great experience, and my students obtained in a few years hundreds of prizes. In these years I have gained extensive experience with children and young pianists.
Now that I'm here I would love to start teaching again; I miss sharing with young students my great passion for Music and Piano!
I will teach you how to memorize pieces and be ready for public performances in a very short time. Thanks to the Italian music education system children will be able to learn basic piano technique in no time as well as fundamental notions of solfeggio and harmony.
Professional piano lessons only!

This study investigated the abundance of phages in ileal and colonic samples from pediatric CD patients and controls. Methods: Ileal and colonic biopsies from 6 CD patients, gut wash samples from 3 CD patients, and ileal biopsies from 6 noninflammatory bowel disease patients (controls) were analyzed for the presence of bacteriophage using 454 high-throughput pyrosequencing. A sequence-independent single-primer amplification method was used to amplify viral sequences. Results: A total of 186,143 high quality reads were obtained from the 4 sample populations. Contigs and sequence clusters (generated from unassembled singletons) were aligned with sequences from the National Center for Biotechnology Information viral reference database and analyzed by MEGAN. The largest number of viral hits was obtained from the CD gut wash samples (n = 691), followed by CD ileal samples (n = 52), control ileum samples (n = 20), and CD colonic samples (n = 1). The most abundant virus sequences identified belonged to the Caudovirales phage. Conclusions: Our study characterized a diverse phage community in the gut of CD patients. In this study, we have identified differences in phage composition between CD patients and control individuals. The large abundance of phages in CD ileum tissue and CD gut wash sample suggests a role of phage in CD development. The role of phage dysbiosis in CD is currently unknown but opens up a new area of research.

Gill's Reading Challenge Back for 2017
Grafton, WI – Gill's Reading Challenge is back for 2017. After a record breaking 5,500 students from all over Southeastern Wisconsin participated in last year's challenge, the Chinooks have decided to continue on with the team's reading initiative. With the Reading Challenge, the team hopes to increase literacy in schools and to get students of all ages excited about reading. The program is sponsored by Stein's Garden and Home.
Gill's Reading Challenge is a free program available to all schools in the area. The challenge is intended for students in grades K-8. The program is eight weeks long which consist of four two week segments. Schools can determine their program start date but all challenges must conclude by the end of May.
With this free program, teachers will have the ability to set students' goals for each base whether it is a set number of pages, number of chapters, or number of books read. At the start of the program, each student will be given a calendar to help track their progress throughout the challenge. When a student reaches their goal for each base they will be rewarded with a prize from the Chinooks. If a student reaches all four goals and makes it around all the bases, they will be rewarded with a ticket to a Lakeshore Chinooks game as well as a certificate of completion.
Teachers and schools may also use the student's tickets for an end of the year field trip to the Chinooks annual Education Day which will be on June 5th at 11:35am. Otherwise, students will have five game dates to choose from to redeem their ticket voucher. On June 4th, it will be Reading Challenge Night at Kapco Park. All students in attendance who completed the Reading Challenge will be able to join Gill on the field for a pre-game parade and recognition for completing the program. Students will also be given an order form for family and friends to order additional tickets.
The team will provide all the necessary materials for teachers, students, and parents. At the start of the challenge, the coordinators will receive step by step instructions, an introduction letter for parents, calendars for students, student goal and progress chart for the classroom, teacher tracking charts, and the incentive prizes.
Gill is also available to come to your school and help kickoff your reading challenge. Appearance dates and times are limited to school day hours and are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis.
For more information and to get your school's challenge started, contact Ashley Sugden at 262-618-4659 or by emailing email@example.com
The Chinooks hope to get your school hooked on reading! So if you are a teacher and school faculty member, don't wait, get your school enrolled today. If you are a parent, talk to your children's teachers about this great free program.

Wacky Wheels HD Reboot Now Coming To Android As Well
While it's highly unlikely we'll ever see an Android edition of Mario Kart mobile mode-7 racing fanatics needn't despair as one of the most legendary kart racers ever created is coming back in a very big way. The MS-DOS racing classic from Apogee Wacky Wheels is set to return to the gaming spotlight in epic fashion as an expansive HD remake with the same name from indie developer Cascadia Games(2-Bit Cowboy, Ammo Pigs) that keeps the spirit of the original cartoon animal racer alive while updating its gameplay formula with bigger tracks, new drivers, and reworked mechanics designed to transform this new iteration of Wacky Wheels into the definitive mode-7 style kart racer. And while until now it's only been reported as being in development for iOS, PC, and Mac platforms after reaching out to Cascadia Games for verification SGD can now confirm that the Wacky Wheels reboot will also eventually be making its way onto Android as well.
Even though it's still deep into development the Wacky Wheels reboot already looks flat-out gorgeous and appears to be well on its way to recreating the magic of the original, something anyone who grew up in the MS-DOS era of gaming is sure to appreciate. Cascadia Games recently released an impressive new trailer showing off the game's latest alpha build which we've embedded below.
Following its planned launch on Steam Greenlight and other platforms later this year the Wacky Wheels team will then be setting its sights on the Android edition for those who want to take their mode-7 addiction on the go.

Because of the convenience of automatic feeders, water fountains, and litter boxes many cat owners believe their furry friends will survive just fine without a professional pet sitter but no technology will ever replace human touch, companionship, and peace of mind. In addition, none of these inventions will be able to take care of their cat who isn't feeling well, got locked in the closet, or knocked over a water bowl and that is why my four new buddies were happy to have me visit them each day.
Fiona who loved all of the attention and love I gave them while their owner was in Florida for seven days!
Since I know it is an expense to hire a cat sitter I am pleased to announce that I charge the LOWEST rate in town while offering free extras such as collecting mail, watering plants, alternating lights and blinds for a lived-in look, etc, BUT my most most popular extra I offer is text or e-mail updates regarding each visit along with photographs of their cat(s) so owners can SEE that their companions are happy.
If you've been thinking about hiring a cat sitter and live in the Dover, Durham, Somersworth, New Hampshire, areas please contact me for a free "Meet and Greet" consultation! I'd be happy to help!

I was more annoyed than hurt though, because he knew I'd dealt with things like that in the past and he'd promised he wouldn't play games regarding how he felt about me/us. Never even got to the first date... he just disappeared out of the blue and that was it.00|00|0

We won a Grand Prix in Direct on Monday in Cannes for our campaign in partnership with STF – The Swedish Number. We're almost lost for words to describe how delighted and proud we are, so we'll let our ECD, Björn Ståhl, explain:
"Our goal when we go to Cannes is to win a Lion – a Lion of any colour. We've done that for four years in a row now. And we aim to improve on our results from the previous year. That's something we work single-mindedly to achieve from the day Cannes finishes to the next year's deadline. But we could never have dreamt that it would turn out this well.
Not only that – we were also awarded a PR gold for The Swedish Number and a silver for Le Bon in Outdoor yesterday, so celebrations continue!

When you are short a teammate, filling that vacancy seems like your only priority. However, don't rush and risk making a bad hire. Some advice:
1. Establish your expectations for the role. Sometimes it makes more sense to promote from within or redefine the roles of current employees than to go find someone who can fill the ex-employee's shoes.
Meet with your team to outline exactly what you need from a new employee, both in skill and attitude.
2. See what's out there. Pull some applications from various sources to see if your expectations are reasonable. Decide if you will be able to compensate for—or live with—any deficiencies in candidates who are a close-enough match.
3. Establish a process. If multiple people interview a candidate, you run the risk of some dragging their feet when it comes to providing feedback. Employees will also view the same candidate very differently.
Establish criteria that people should be looking for in a candidate, rather than relying on a hunch or their own personal biases. Then set deadlines for following up with specific feedback on each candidate.

Rise of the Science-Nin
Chapter V: Genin Daze
Miamoto-sensei's quote of the day: "What is a weapon? A kunai? A Shuriken? A Chakra Armor? No. Those are merely pieces of metal, incapable of any autonomous action. Ninja are weapons, and their purpose is to protect. Never forget that."
Naruto sat stock-still, as did most of his cohort. It was finally time, and he was more nervous than he though he would be, by far. On either side of him sat the two people he had grown closest to over the past three weeks, Rock Lee and Ten-Ten. Upon questioning, the girl had admitted to Naruto that she had been given no last name, as was apparently a common practice for unidentified orphans in Fire Country. It seemed a bit cruel to the gentle-natured Jinchurikki.
He was not quite as close to Ten-Ten as he was to Rock Lee, not having had a major bonding experience like he did with the round-eyed boy, but they had become friends nonetheless. She had also opened up a little more to Lee after he showed her what he could do with Taijutsu. They shared a mutual respect now, each being the master of their particular field in the classroom, save for Naruto, who was closer to Jounin level in both Taijutsu and marksmanship. Having never had a friend his own age, Naruto found it quite satisfying. Also, there was something else—he wasn't quite sure of it, but he thought he might be developing a something a little beyond friendship for the bun-headed girl. It was too soon to tell, though, and there was also the problem of Ten-Ten crush on that ass, Neji. Apparently many of the girls in their class felt that way about him, despite his condescending attitude.
Naruto made a special effort in the two spars they had had to try to correct his bad behavior though judicious use of physical violence, but despite crushing the boy in taijutsu his attitude had not improved in the slightest. The blonde haired chakra engineer snorted. It didn't matter; someday that fool would learn his lesson. As Iruka started to speak, he quickly pulled himself out of his musing—it was finally time. Most of the names had already been announced, after all.
"Team 9: Rock Lee, Uzumaki Naruto, and Ten-Ten! Your Jounin Instructor is Maito Gai. Team 10 is still in service. Team 11…" Naruto quit paying attention and smiled, as did his two new teammates. He was on a team with his friends!
The Blonde Hokage-spawn vaguely noted at the end of Iruka's speech Hyuuga Neji had not been assigned to a team for some reason… And the boy didn't seem in the least bit surprised. He vaguely wondered why, but quickly put it out of his mind. He was still excited about officially becoming a ninja.
That evening, Naruto lay in bed after taking a hot shower, his chakra armor comfortably hugging his skin. He didn't take it off, even to sleep. After all, he never knew when he would need it, and it required at least three minutes to put it on correctly, an eternity in battle. He slowly recounted his afternoon, after his team met up with Gai-sensei…
"Yosh!" said the Beautiful Green Beast. "Today, you will all prove to me that you can act as a team… Or you will return to the academy!"
The three genin flinched, not expecting this, though Naruto understood why teamwork would be needed; after-all there was no such thing as a ninja who worked alone under the rank of Jounin.
"What do we need to do, Gai-sensei?" asked Ten-Ten. Naruto glanced over at her while she talked, feeling that indescribable something again. She was just too cute.
"You shall pass a test of my own devising! You must prove your Youthfulness and Will of Fire by…" he paused dramatically, his enormous eyebrows quivering dramatically, finger raised in the air, "…Running a four-legged race against me, the Beautiful Green Beast of Konoha!"
Naruto wondered if this was some sort of Hi no Kuni thing, but the bewildered looks his teammates sported belied that thought. Naturo sighed. Gai may be the premiere taijutsu master in Konoha, but there was no getting around his bizarre nature. Naruto has also been concerned with his reverence of "Youth" at first, until the man's actions had proven that he was not some sort of bizarre pedophile. Still, this "four-legged race" needed an explanation.
"Err… What do you mean by a four-legged race, Gai-sensei? Asked Naruto, confusion evident in his voice. Gai smiled wildly, and produced two short lengths of rope from seemingly nowhere.
"I will show you, Naruto-kun! Stand up my students!" shouted the over exuberant jounin. The three newly minted genin complied, and watched bewildered as Gai slowed approached, and mind-blurringly fast, tied the ropes around their legs. When he was finished, Naruto's right leg was tied to Ten-Ten's left, and his left leg was tied to Lee's right. They, indeed, now had four legs. Naruto notices that the weights that Lee had been wearing for the last few weeks had also been discarded by Gai.
"Yosh!" screamed Gai, "Now, I will also limit myself to four legs!" With that, the leotarded Nin pulled off his sandals, rolled up the sleeves of his garment and his leg-warmers, and go onto all fours, in a strange parody of an animal. His posterior stuck high into the air, and trotting awkwardly over to Lee's weights, he picked them up with his mouth and slung them onto his back where they lied immobile. Naruto suspected the man was holding them on with chakra.
It was all the three genin could do not to laugh uproariously at the partially-insane man. A few snorts and chuckles did escape. Gai marked a starting line with his nose, and stood behind it with them.
"The first team to make it to the front gate, and then back to this line WINS!" he cried. "On the count of three! Ichi! Ni! San! GO!" he called, and then took off like a shot. Galloping on all fours like an idiot, Gai was still faster than most chuunin.
Naruto, Lee, and Ten-Ten did their best to follow. None of them had every competed in a three-legged race, of anything along those lines, but they were well trained ninjas with incredible balance. They managed at first not to fall, then began a slow run. By the time Gai was beyond their sight, they were traveling fairly fast, at least the speed of a regular academy student, and they only accelerated from there. Ten-Ten was the weak link in this test, being the slowest member, and honestly Naruto wished she had been tied in the middle so the two speed-demons on the team could simply carry her, but this was no time for what-ifs.
They raced. And before too long, they caught up with Gai, who appeared to be maintaining the same speed he had initially started with. Naruto knew that without Lee's weights on the small of his back, and the man's own considerable resistance tools on all of his limbs, this would be no contest at all, even with his crazy animal style running. Gai was simply that fast. Still, the three children working in a perfect concert born of trust were able to beat him this way, as the test was obviously designed for. It would be no test at all if there was no chance they could win.
After a mere few moments of sprinting, the three reached the front gate. Lee and Naruto felt warm, but fine, Lee's natural stamina and Naruto's chakra armor helping to maintain their stride. Ten-Ten, though, was a different matter. The girl's face was beet-red, and he lungs burned as she worked to take in enough oxygen to keep up this pace. Naruto frowned, knowing that they had to go all the way back, and suspecting that Ten-Ten needed at least a brief rest before they attempted it.
The Jinchurikki looked back, and noticed that Gai was only a short distance behind them, maybe ten to twenty seconds at his current steady pace. Naruto thought for a brief moment, as they pivoted around to run back the way they had come… and came up with an idea. He was now glad that he was the one in the middle.
"OK, team. I'm going to try something to boost our speed, so hang on and try not to get out of sync. Lee nodded, and Ten-Ten gave a slight pout, knowing this was because of her, but acquiesced as well. Naruto smiled, then released a B-rank wind technique from his back. Lee smiled as he felt himself propelled forward, and Ten-Ten went wide-eyed for a moment before she too started sporting a feral grin. They latched onto Naruto, lagging very slightly behind him despite the tightly-tied rope, and shot forward at nearly twice the speed they had been traveling at previously. Behind them Gai smiled as he increased his effort in the face of the gale-force wind assaulting him.
The three genin of Team 9 quickly made it back to the finish line, easily ahead of the madly loping Green Beast, and even had time untied their bonds and have a drink from Naruto's canteen before Gai arrived. The enigmatic jounin stood up and slowly stretched, before smiling madly.
"Team 9… You pass!" called Gai. Natuto smiled, and put his hand behind his head, while Ten-Ten grinned with her eyes half-closed and Lee threw his arm into the air with a gleeful cry. Konoha was never going to be the same again.
Author's note: Someone called this story delicious, which inspired me. Here you go. That, coupled with the liter of Cherry Coke I drank and a renewed need to write, resulted in this. Here's to you, fans. (If I have any left?) Hopefully I'll be able to update some of my other tales soon.

|Jax's only defense vs you is his counter strike which when is on cooldown will let you absoluetly destroy him 1v1.
|She cant slow you and you can kill her easily in a 1v1.
|same as sejuani
Hello :) my name is Liam, i am a current Platinum jungle main. I have been playing since the start of season 2 but only in the last year taken to playing ranked play. My favourite types of champion are assassin/fighter's ( Master Yi, Shaco, Vi ect.) as well as unconventional junglers ( Twisted Fate, Cho'Gath, Zed). I managed to get from bronze 4 after my provisional games to gold 3 in just a few weeks and after a bad spell (not feeling up to league/bored of league) i decided to stop playing for a while. However the new updates to summoners rift and all the new champions coming out have drawn me back in and I'm having so much fun. I've decided to make some guides to champions that i have lots of experience with and hope to share my knowledge with the community of mobafire. Sorry for the TLDR but i hope you enjoy my guide, a rating would also be greatly appreciated and I'm open to any suggestions/criticisms that you guys have! see you on the rift!

Wise words!
"A true master is an eternal student" when playing yi always be sure to try out new things as he is an incredibly diverse champion with multiple routes that you can take to become the ultimate wuju warrior!
An introduction to jungle Master Yi
Master Yi is an incredibly powerful 1v1 duelist and late game beast, when played right he will become the champion that will make the other team flame and cry over how badly you are cutting them up. His abilities give him a great jungle clear with plenty of sustain, which helps him to keep up with the more popular choices of junglers. Even if you build tanky yi you will still do insane amounts of damage with your Alpha Strike and Wuju Style true damage bonus! At higher ELO's players know how to beat a full assassin Master Yi therefore i feel that this tankier build is more efficient for competitive play.
Pros and Cons
|+ Great jungle sustain
+ strong 1v1
+ Passive 10% AD from E
+ Hypercarry
Greater Mark of Lethality
Greater Seal of Scaling Health
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed
For this build, these runes are by far the best choice. Armor penetration reds will give you an insane burst potential vs the more common tank meta, the scaling hp yellows will scale with Skirmisher's Sabre - Cinderhulk into the late game giving you a huge HP bonus, scaling MR blues will help for the late game damage from AP champs and Attack speed quints help proc Double Strike more often for tons of damage!
Ability Sequence
Alpha Strike is always the first ability to max on Master Yi, it is your main source of damage (to one target and multiple targets)
Max Wuju Style second as it has no mana cost, and when active will give you a +11 / 13.75 / 16.5 / 19.25 / 22% AD to your true damage bonus.
highlaner is maxed as soon as it is available and then medidate is maxed last, this is because the bonus hp regen scales with AP and is a very small increase so it is not worth maxing.
Master yi has two main great ways to be played, Tanky and full assassin. I prefer playing tanky yi when in ranked games as it means you are less susceptible to being destroyed by the enemy champions while at the same time giving you the ability to delete champions.
skirmisher's saber - cinderhulk is great as it scales with health items and has a really strong AOE burn.
Frozen Mallet gives you a huge health boost and adds a CC effect with the slowing auto attacks.
Blade of the Ruined King is always a great item for Master Yi it gives you a great attack speed increase while giving you life steal, tons of damage and a slow/hp steal.
The Black Cleaver is another great item for this build. Armor pen, AD, armor shred and a health boost contribute greatly to your enevitable beast mode.
When playing Master Yi it is best to keep farming throughout the game as yi is very item reliant, below is a map and a description of how to do your first clear.
1. Krug camp - I always start the krug camp as when you Smite it you get the heavy hands buff which means that every 5 basic attacks you will stun your target, master yi has very low mana costs so he is not blue buff reliant and as such will not need to start the blue buff side.
2. Red buff - Red buff gives you passive healing when in combat with monsters which helps a lot with your sustain when clearing camps.
3. Blue buff - blue buff gives you the extra mana sustain that helps a lot with jungle clears.
4. Murk Wolves - If you smite the blue buff then its a good idea to do wolves as you can heal up and get some mana back before you head to the next camp.
5. Gromp - Smite the gromp to get the poison buff that it gives, it will help a lot with jungle clears.
6. Raptors - Finish off your clear by clearing the raptor camp, after you have cleared the raptors head to base for your first purchases.
The new jungle has many benefits from the buff's that the new jungle camps give, which you can use to your advantage. For example if i wanted to scout a lane and i didn't know if it was warded, i would smite the raptor camp to give me the true vision buff to clear any wards on/near that lane. Or say there was a team fight about to occur, i would smite the Gromp camp to get the poison buff that it gives which would aid me when taking damage from basic attacks in teamfights. Be sure to plan your jungle route in consideration with what you want to do next.
Pre level 6 Master Yi doesnt have the best gank potential as he has no cc and without his ult he will be unable to keep up with the enemy you are ganking and your attack speed will be slow, however if your laner has a good engage then you will be able to secure a kill with your ability sequence.
After level 6 is reached it is best to ask your laners to ward in deep bushes so that you can teleport in behind the opponents and ult + alpha strike + wuju style. This combo is almost always a certain kill.

There's no doubt that leadership skills are important. I've needed leadership skills in just about every job I've held. In fact, those skills will become even more important to me once I graduate and become a teacher.
But if you look beyond the role leadership skills play in the workplace, you'll see that they are just as important elsewhere. At any moment, you could be put into an emergency setting where you need to direct people and take action. So in effect, anyone might need to take up the role of leader at any moment.
The Accidental Leader
I learned just how important leadership skills are at an early age. When I was in high school, I worked as a night manager at a grocery store. My normal duties included directing people and making sure everything was running smoothly. For the most part it was fairly routine.
But one night I was urgently called to the front desk to respond to an immediate emergency. A middle aged man had walked into the store gushing blood from his forehead. From what I was told, he had just been in a car accident and came inside seeking help.
Since I was the manager in charge, everyone looked to me for what to do. Of course, this was beyond my training, but I still needed to make decisions.
First, I directed the front desk cashier to call an ambulance. Then I made sure to cordon off the area and instructed other employees to direct incoming and outgoing customers around the scene. When the EMTs arrived, I monitored the situation and answered their questions until they took him away to the hospital. It was a lesson in leadership I'll never forget.
So anyone can be tasked to become a leader at any moment. Here are five leadership quotes from five different leaders about what you'll need if your moment comes.
1. "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." – Lao Tzu
A good leader empowers others to do what needs to be done. When working in large groups, no one person can do everything. It takes the combined work and effort of many diverse people working together.
Leaders have vision and guide others until their aims are fulfilled. However, credit must be given to those who did the most effort. When goals are accomplished, a good leader says "we" or "the team" did it, not "I".
2. "The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership." – Colin Powell
Being a good leader and having good people skills go hand in hand. You need to be someone others can go to with their problems because they respect you and listen to your advice. Being seen as a problem-solver and a "go-to" person inspires confidence and trust. Without those two qualities, you're not an effective leader.
When you're the person in charge, you want to be someone anyone can talk to about anything. A big lesson I've learned as a teacher is that you have to interact and build rapport with your students if they are going to accomplish anything. If you can't be someone they know and can relate with, getting things done becomes much harder.
3. "Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people." – John D. Rockefeller
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." – John Quincy Adams
It's common to hear that leaders lead through example. But the reason you hear it so often is because it is true. Being a leader means showing others how things are suppose to be done. And not only that, but how things should be done properly.
Leaders know that every one of their actions will be scrutinized. Just look to the U. S. President. Every minute detail of his actions are analyzed and up for discussion. The more you lead by example, the more you'll get out of other people.
Furthermore, a leader's actions must inspire others to become better people. You're in a powerful position to make someone's life so much better. And if you can empower others to believe in their dreams, actions or themselves, you'll find they become forever grateful and loyal.
4. "Leadership is about magnetic communication. Leaders have a way of communicating that draws people toward the vision and the horizon." – Doug Firebaugh
Just like leaders need to have good people skills. Leaders need to be great communicators to get their message and vision across to others. Learn to speak to others in a way that makes them feel important and valued. And remember that listening is just as an important communication skill as speaking.
Look at Ronald Reagan's leadership style which earned him the nickname "the great communicator" because of his uncanny ability to connect with the American people. To this day he remains an inspiring leader whose message still manages to draw many people in. He was a master at getting his message across to others and people followed him.
Becoming a Leader
If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it is that good leadership skills aren't needed solely for people who run countries or big companies. They're for everyone.
And don't just settle for being a good leader; become a great one. When your time comes to lead, you'll be glad you could step up to the challenge and overcome your obstacles. Prepare yourself now because you never know when an emergency will pop up and everyone looks to you for guidance.

One version of the "insider story" of Albert Pujols' signing with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim has already been told – from the perspective of his agent, Danny Lozano – in a December 8 article by Bob Nightengale of USAToday.
Now we hear it from the angle of the Angels, primarily general manager Jerry Dipoto. That story is entitled "How to Land the Big One, the Inside Story of Signing Albert Pujols." It will appear in print in the Feb. 6, 2012 "Recruiting Issue" of ESPN The Magazine, but is already posted online for ESPN subscribers. (Cover photo shoot video is also included.)
Written by Sam Miller, who covers the Angels for the Orange County Register, the piece describes the interrelation of the club's successful quest to sign left-handed pitcher C.J. Wilson with their pursuit of Pujols.
The article includes many already-known details about the telephone bonding between Halos owner Arte Moreno and Pujols along with a few mild surprises.
Pujols defended the short courtship.
"I only spend five minutes talking to or meeting a guy and I know pretty much," Pujols said after he signed. "God has given me that wisdom. I don't even know [Moreno], and he called me one of his partners. That means a lot."
Very little was written about the Cardinals position but what was said, I found most interesting.
"The Cardinals had made Pujols and his wife, Deidre, feel almost unwanted with their offers, the first of which was for just five years… It was as though the Cardinals could see only the downside to signing a 31-year-old Albert Pujols while the Angels saw opportunity," Miller states.
I guess St. Louis' rumored first offer this past fall is what was meant, which was reportedly for just five years. Though it was not mentioned that proposal was for a salary of $26 million per year, a higher average annual value than the 10-year, $240 million deal Pujols and the Angels later agreed upon. Also not referenced were earlier or later bids made by the Cardinals, which reportedly went up to as much as ten years, though at a lower AAV and with deferred money. Since the ESPN story was admittedly written from the Angels' perspective, it should not be too surprising those details are missing.
Last week, Cardinals president Bill DeWitt III had the following to say about the Pujols situation.
"Our fan base is so knowledgeable that there were some things that we were tempted to say about how things went down. Not so much negative against Pujols or anything like that, but just defending the way we approached it, going back over time – having given it a good shot two years ago, one year ago, then in this off-season. I think there were some accusations about if we should have done it earlier and things of that nature.
"You can go back in time and I think the instinct we had was to lay it all out there. But then, we saw the reaction. And the reaction was overwhelmingly, I think, sympathetic to the way we handled it. And given that reaction, we just decided to let it go. Let the last word be theirs. I think that was probably a good move because any time you just get into a 'he said, she said' pissing match, it doesn't leave a good taste," DeWitt III said.
It will be interesting to see how this story evolves over time as to which offers are remembered and in what sequence. The ESPN-Angels version clearly hits hard the damage caused by the perceived lack of respect shown Pujols by the Cardinals.

For the past few weeks, we've created a new food system in our house. We've been meal planning!
I did it a year ago for a couple weeks and found it to be very helpful because I don't have to think about what to eat, but the hard thing is committing to sitting down at the beginning of the week to figure it all out.
Now I'm totally into meal planning since I found out how much money, time and brain power we're saving by doing this! We only buy what we need (most of the time) and we save time by going to the store once instead of a few times!
I even made a visual board of our meals with pictures so the kids can see what we're eating for the week.
Yes, I'll share it with you in a blog post later because I think you'll find it helpful too. In the meantime, we're fine-tuning the system and building an inventory of meals we can make. Stay tuned, it'll probably include some printables too =)
Some of the food ideas we kept going back to were the 5-ingredient pairings we created a month back. I find these are really fast to make and we always have the ingredients on hand so they are really good items to have on our meal board.
Easy 5-Ingredient Recipes
To add to our repertoire, below are a few more very easy five-ingredient recipes for the fall.
I included pairings with cinnamon, apples and beans. In Vancouver, we get beans up to the end of October!
Cinnamon Peach Chia Pudding
- 1 ½ cup milk (2% or unsweetened soy/almond/coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons peach jam
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chia seeds
- In a 4 cup mason jar, add milk, jam, pumpkin spice and vanilla extract. Whisk until jam is broken up.
- Add chia seeds and stir until combined. You could shake your jar too, that's more fun =)
- Close lid and put in fridge overnight.
- To make it pretty, you could serve this with fresh peaches and sprinkle on some coconut flakes.
Peach Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is one of my favourite dishes to make since it is nutritious and so easy.
This pairing is great for those last-minute potlucks when you haven't had time to buy groceries so you have to use whatever is in your pantry and fridge. We seem to always have peppers in our house so that's what I used here but you can chop up any veggies in your fridge.
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 cup diced peppers in different colours
- 1/4 cup peach jam (we used Smucker's Pure Peach Jam)
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons oil
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together jam, rice vinegar and oil.
- Add in quinoa and peppers and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chicken and Green Bean Stir Fry With Sweet Hoisin Sauce
In Vancouver, we get green beans up till the end of October!
This is a great dish to make when our childless friends invite themselves over for dinner last minute (Emily, I'm talking to you). All I would have to do is pick more beans and make more quinoa for the extra people =)
And let me bring your attention to the sauce: it's so, so, so yummy! The orange marmalade makes it a little tangy and so flavorful. Really, when I say serve it on a bed of rice, it's really a vehicle for the sauce =)
- 1 chicken breast, cubed
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 pound green beans cut into 1" pieces
- In a pan, brown chicken breast and beans until almost done.
- Add jam, hoisin sauce and ketchup. Simmer on low until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
- Serve over brown rice or quinoa.
No Cook Apricot Apple Sauce
I really think this no cook apple sauce is better for you than traditional recipes. It's raw, the apple peel is still attached to the fruit and it takes 2 minutes to make! The apricot jam adds a bit more flavour and I threw in some chia seeds to thicken it up.
The kids go crazy for this stuff! Easy + healthy + fast + kids love it = win!
- 2 large Granny Smith apples (or other varieties), cored and quartered
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- Add all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Spoon into jars and put in the fridge. Use within one week.
Smucker's Pairings for Fall Entertaining are a simple, easy way to create delicious food combinations with jam and other ingredients, designed help you discover how Fall flavours mingle together for mouthwatering results. Each pairing has 5 ingredients or less, and is ready in less than 15 minutes. Because with a name like Smucker's, it has to be good. For specific information on our jam flavours and varieties, please visit www.smuckers.ca

With three of the world's largest malls and two consecutive number 4 rankings in CNN Travel's list of the world's 12 best shopping cities, Kuala Lumpur is a shopper's haven – and Sunway Group plans to cement that status with its first foray into the capital city.
Two key developments – Sunway Putra Mall and Sunway Velocity Mall – make up the fourth and fifth mega retail projects in the Sunway portfolio, joining the world-famous Sunway Pyramid and Sunway Giza Mall in Selangor as well as Sunway Carnival further afield in Penang.
HC Chan welcoming the audience in Sunway Putra Mall for The Brick Project
"We are certainly excited in making our entry into Kuala Lumpur as we believe we are able to deliver essentially a whole new experience under the Sunway brand to KLites," said HC Chan, CEO of Sunway Shopping Malls and Theme Parks.
Strategically located just opposite the Putra World Trade Centre within the 'Diamond Triangle', Sunway Putra Mall is seamlessly integrated with a hotel and office tower for pedestrian convenience and comfort. Accessibility is also no concern with it being within 15 minutes' drive from most parts of Kuala Lumpur, as well as public transportation facilities from KTM, LRT and Hentian Putra bus stations.
The fiery-hued exterior houses an equally vibrant interior that fully embraces the 'retailtainment' concept, with eight floors that showcase everything from international fashion and food and beverage down to IT products and everyday necessities. A cinema, fitness centre, karaoke lounge and an amusement centre are planned for the uppermost levels for maximum fun.
Sunway Putra Mall is a redevelopment of pre-existing complex The Mall, which was opened in 1987 by then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and was once the largest shopping centre in the country.
Visitors preparing to leave their mark in The Brick Project
As a 'welcome back' gesture to those with nostalgic memories of the former mall, Sunway Putra Mall invited its neighbours and surrounding residents to participate in 'The Brick Project', an exclusive initiative that allowed the visitors to engrave their wishes and remarks 'in stone' as a way of remembering the past and welcoming the future.

Heartfelt messages that will stand the test of time and build the foundation for the new mall
The second development of Sunway Velocity Mall is situated 3.8km from the heart of Kuala Lumpur in the town of Cheras and enjoys great connectivity in the form of various highways, LRT and eventual MRT linkage.
Spanning 23 acres of land, the brand new mall boasts seven floors of retail space that will play host to popular retail, leisure and entertainment outlets, each carefully selected to convey a particular concept or overall style. Much like Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Velocity Mall is also expected to have an 'Asian Avenue' which promotes Asian products and services.
It is part of the Sunway Velocity master development, which integrates five key components – V Retail, V Office, V Residence, V Boulevard and V Garden – all designed for maximum interconnectivity and a transformative living experience in the south of Kuala Lumpur.
Sunny days are ahead for the future of retail in Kuala Lumpur!

Mr. DeLeon, who has been a real estate broker for nine years, was previously an attorney at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. He has had two near-death experiences, which he credits with instilling a laser-like focus to his work. He survived being run down by an under-the-influence driver and was diagnosed with cancer, which he beat, he said.
This is the first year a Silicon Valley agent has topped the national rankings, he said in a press release, and he attributes that achievement to the area's robust economy. His sales approach includes catered lunches, lattes, extended hours, and a 200-page strategic buyer's guide.
"I use economic models and analysis to empirically illustrate which neighborhoods have the greatest appreciation potential. This sets our company apart form brokers who just show houses," he said.

Quitting Games
Quitting games are sequential games in which, at any stage, each player has the choice between continuing and quitting. The game ends as soon as at least player chooses to quit; player i then receives a payoff r, which depends on the set S of players that did choose to quit. If the game never ends, the payoff to each player is 0. We prove the existence of cyclic E-equilibrium under some assumptions on the payoff function (r sub s). We prove on an example that our result is essentially optimal. We also discuss the relation to Dynkin's stopping games, and provide a generalization of our result to these games.

There is not a specific identifiable cause of mental health disorders that serves as an explanation for every child across all circumstances. Mental health issues are currently understood to be caused by the interaction between genetic and environmental factors that include: inherited traits, biological factors, life experiences and brain chemistry. 5 There are, however, some factors that have been shown to have particular impact children's social, emotional and mental health. They include: Poverty.

Think of the most complicated aspect of our universe, and then multiply that by infinity! Even the most enthusiastic of mathematicians and physicists acknowledge that the brain is by far the most challenging entity to understand. By design, the human brain is made up of billions of cells called neurons, which use chemical neurotransmitters to communicate with each other through connections called synapses. Each brain cell has about 2,000 synapses.

Inherited mitochondrial disorders are transmitted in a matrilineal fashion; all children from an affected mother will inherit the disease, but it will not be transmitted from an affected father to his children (Fig. 62-11D ). Alterations in the mtDNA affecting enzymes required for oxidative phosphorylation lead to reduction of ATP supply, generation of free radicals, and induction of apoptosis. Several syndromic disorders arising from mutations in the mitochondrial genome are known in humans and they affect both protein-coding and tRNA genes (Table 62-1 and Table 62-5).

France drops secret cache of weapons for rebels in the mountains
France has been secretly dropping weapons to rebels in the western mountains of Libya in an effort to help their push towards Tripoli, it emerged yesterday.
The Defence Ministry said that the deliveries, by parachute, consisted mainly of light infantry weapons, but senior defence officials told reporters that heavier equipment, including machineguns, rocket-propelled grenades, anti-tank missiles and vehicles, were being supplied to Berber tribes trying to fight their way to Tripoli from their southern bases.
Colonel Thierry Burkhard, spokesman for the General Staff, told The Times that the main purpose had been to protect the local population. "The operation took place in early June and is now over," he said. He denied that anti-tank missiles or armoured vehicles had been dropped.

We tell our kids all the time, losing is a part of life – Be gracious blah, blah, blah. But who really wants to be gracious about it? Losing sucks. But, if we don't try, we never give ourselves the opportunity to succeed either. Moreover, everything we do, our children are watching. We teach important life lessons when we try and don't succeed but the most important lesson is in how we handle that loss.
So I stuck my neck out and ran for PTA President…and lost. I didn't lose because the two current co-presidents are fantastic and well loved. Far from it. I lost because they scared up more people than I did. Which, is the epitome of politics. So, how one handles it from here shows exactly what one was made of. I could be petty – I have a strong voice on Facebook and with other parents. But I won't because that is just not the kind of person I am. I'm not going to wish them well either however – I'm not a fool. They have run our PTA into the ground with their incompetence and nastiness and I will still be there when other parents and teachers need help because that is what I do.
Did I need the PTA tiara – no. Did I want the job? Yes – because I would have done a damn, good job.
Ah, I think some ice cream is in order…


text: Got the Love 2 Tote PM in Ecru and Fleurs Key Chain on Fifth.. Also wanted to get the Dentelle Ludlow in Gold but they only had silver. So the super sweet SA told me they should have one in Soho so I went there. On the way, I took out the Fleurs Key Chain and saw that the little gold plaque was so scratched up it looked used. So when I got to the Soho store, I was checking out my future sandals (Elektrochoc sandals in turquoise) and trying to find out exactly what size I needed.. Tried on 36 in fuchsia and they fit, but they didn't have 36 in turquoise and the SA told me there were only 1 pair left in the US and he could have them sent to the store but they might not reach in time before I leave so I decided that I would try and get them when I go to Europe. Anyways, I asked him about the Dentelle wallet and they had one piece left which I bought. Then I showed him the Fleurs Key Chain and told him I had just bought it earlier on and that after I left, I checked it out and showed him how used it looked. He told me he could see that and tried to find another one in better condition and he did and said we could exchange them but he had to ask the manager first. So the manager came and she was oh so rude. She looked at it, looked at me and she "You do realize that this is going to happen anyway" I told her "Yes but I would like it to look like that from my own use and not buy one like that" Then she rolled her eyes and said "99.9% of our customers would not even care, but whatever, it's fine you can exchange it" and walked off. I felt so bad and told the SA how bad I felt and he told me I shouldn't feel bad and that he would have done the same thing. Then he said he didn't know what was wrong with her but that I had a right to exchange it if I wasn't happy. So I did. Anyways, sorry for the long story which most will not read anyway lol here are some pictures: my future shoes lol (on top, the wedges)

One dessert we learned to make was Cottage Pudding. It was a sort of heavy cake with a translucent lemon sauce served warm over it. That dessert remained in my mind for years but I never found the recipe for it, and my mother had no recollection of where we got it when I asked her about it years later.
When Mom passed away, some of my sisters and I helped Dad sort and clear up the kitchen. Mom loved to cook but organization? Not so much her thing. There were pans of every kind, gadgets and tools and cookbooks. LOTS of cookbooks. One of them was an old, beat-up Betty Crocker with the red-and-white patterned cover. And in that book, I found the recipe I'd been looking for.
I wrote the recipe out carefully because one of my other sisters wanted to keep the book--she had so many memories of using it. So I copied the recipe into a little notebook I carried with me. The next 10 months were a blur for me of work, storytelling and driving back and forth to Virginia to take my turn at caring for Dad. And then Dad died too, and life was very dark for a while.
Somewhere in all of that I misplaced the little notebook and could not even remember what notebook I'd used to copy down the recipe. But the other day as I was sorting out a drawer in my desk a little book fell out and pages scattered on the floor. And I found my recipe.
Today I tried making Cottage Pudding for the first time in over 50 years. It is not quite how I remember it--my cake came out a bit heavier than I remember it, but the lemon sauce was perfect. It was like jumping in a time machine and going back in time to the large table surrounded by my brothers and sisters, everyone scraping the last of the lemon sauce out of their bowls.
When I make this again, I will use the usual method of cake-making, adding wet and dry ingredients alternatively and beating them in. I believe that might improve the texture. As it is, it is delicious. Larry and I both had two helpings. So here's the recipe for you to try. If you do try it, tell me what you think. I'm curious to know if others like it as well as I do.

motorsport: the uslu airlines race car
As to be expected, the uslu airlines race car has more colours than horses. With the supportive sponsorship of some of our friends, we were able to flip it up again to what is said to be the coolest ride in town.
We have a strong history of cool race cars at uslu airlines. All of them beamers, all of them applauded by passerby pre-schoolers (the real race car experts), their fathers and even their older sisters. Now with third car pimped out, we wanted to do something never done before: a car with a body that glows in the dark.
Video shot and Directed by Christian Datum. Post by Pirates`n`Paradise. Full credits.
100%, a true novum in car design as we know it. But hey, since it's us who did it, you will be less surprised than impressed, of course. Our film and facebook friends at Bubbles organized that shoot last summer when the baby was a virgin, untouched of any decals.
And here's what the beast looks like right now. Day and night. Full force foreward. Full frame.
Here is the list of all sponsors, listed alphabetically, of course:
In contrast to all and any common sense assumption, BMW is not sponsoring us. Not yet.
There are still unfilled spaces for additional ads! Your logo on the fender. Your client's logo on the roof. Please email me for rates and options and to share your ideas. We'd love to give you a lift.
For the petrol-heads amongst you: our racer is a BMW 123d with twin-turbo and just slightly over 200 horses. M-package, leather, the works. There are no technical modifications from the factory original. As so often, it's all just cosmetics. And we love it.
After the above pics were shot, we had them wheels overpimped in signal yellow. That's yellow as in yeah-low.
