Hi, everyone, it's LeAnne Ballard from Everyday Celebrations. It has been too long since I've posted over here so I am very excited to share this project.
When I first started up my blog back in 2007, some of my first projects were Quiet or Fabric Books. I love making them to keep little ones happy and distracted while mama, or dad for that matter, are out and about running errands, sitting in church, or waiting in a doctor's office. I've made several different books and you can see all my patterns/tutorials for quiet books here or in my shop. (My most popular one is the FREE 'my colors' quiet book tutorial.) I had fun making this little quiet book for the Bake Shop and hope you enjoy all things summery, flower-y, and nature-y found in this little book. For a change, this book has no words, and I think it turned out just darling.
1 charm pack of your choice, Vintage Modern pictured
one or two of your favorite fat quarters
1 yard of green ric rac, for flower stems
1/2 yard each of pink, yellow, and orange ric rac
1/4 yard 72″ wide white felt
black embroidery floss, bird's eyes
orange embroidery floss, bird's legs 1 1/2″ binder ring
1 yard of fusible webbing, I use and prefer Heat n' Bond
– If you want to reinforce pieces by sewing, use a sewable type of webbing like Heat n' Bond Lite
– If you do not want to sew pieces at all, use a non-sewable type of webbing like Heat n' Bond Ultrahold
hot glue or tacky glue
the following fabrics/felts can come from your stash/scraps:
5″ square of yellow fabric, for sun
small scrap of orange fabric, for bird's beak
scraps of green felt, for flower leaves
scrap of pink felt, for flower center
Below you will find a picture for each page of the book and brief directions. Assembling each page is pretty self-explanatory if you use the pictures as your guide. However, here are some general instructions to keep in mind as you assemble your book.
General Instructions
- Keep all page elements approximately 1/2″ away from the edge of each page. You will be sewing the pages back to back and want space for a seam allowance.
- Attach page elements layer by layer. Meaning, start with the pieces that are underneath and work your way to the top.
- Play with the placement of all pieces before sewing anything in place. Then remove pieces and attach layer by layer.
- Backstitch. Backstitch. Backstich. Did I say backstitch? This will secure your pieces in place, if you don't they will fall off over time.
- Please follow the instructions for you brand of fusible webbing. Each one is a little different, so I won't give directions for that.
- I used fusible webbing on the fabric pieces. I sewed felt pieces in place with my sewing machine.
- When fusing the pieces onto the felt, use a pressing cloth between the iron and the felt. This helps prevent melting the felt. Yes it melts, and yes I know that from experience.
- Fuse the raw ends of ric rac to prevent fraying before sewing in place. I just hold the ends close to an open flame. Be careful, don't play with matches, use in a well ventilated area….just be safe. 🙂
- To attach ric rac, pin in desired position and sew down the middle. Backstitch. 🙂
Cutting Pages
- Cut one 6 1/2″ strip from your 72″ wide felt. Sub cut into eight 6 1/2″ squares.
Pattern Pieces
- All pattern pieces are in the printable PDF version at the bottom of this post.
- Pattern pieces indicate whether the piece needs to be cut from felt. Otherwise, trace onto fusible web and adhere to the appropriate fabrics.
- Cut one 4 1/2″ and one 3 1/2″ piece of green ric rac for the stems. Fuse ends. Pin in desired positions and sew in place.
- Place petals on felt for the flower on the left. (The petals' will slightly overlap or touch .) Fuse and sew in place. Place center on top. The center will cover the raw inside edges of the petals. Sew in place.
- Layer the flower on the right in place. Fuse and sew in place.
- Sew two leaves per flower as desired.
Sun Page
1. Cut two 3″ pieces of orange ric rac. Cut two 3 1/2″ pieces and one 4″ piece of yellow ric rac. Fuse ends of ric rac.
2. Place ric rac in desired positions, use picture above for placement help.
3. Sew the ends of the ric rac that will be under the sun in place. (photo below)
4. Place sun so it covers the ends of the ric rac. Fuse in place. Topstitch close to the edge. (I pinned the ric rac so it wouldn't move around while I sewed.)
Birdie Page
- Cut the following pieces from charm squares and sew together using 1/4″ seam allowance: 3″x2″, 1 3/4″ x 2″, 2″ x 2″ Press seams as desired.
- Place this piece and sew on the right hand side of the page. Sew in place as desired.
- Fuse bird's beak in place.
- Fuse and sew bird's body in place.
- With wrong sides together, sew bird's wings together using narrow seam allowance. (Mine is pretty close to the edge.) Attach wing to body by zig zag stitching along raw edge.
- Embroider bird's eye using French Knot and 6 strands of black embroidery floss.
- Embroider bird's legs using back stitch and 3 strands of orange embroidery floss
Rain Page
- Fuse raindrops in place in desired positions.
- Sew in place using decorative stitching. I basically just sewed down the middle of each rain drop however I wanted. I used zig zag stitches, a series of straight stitches, etc.
Flowers #1 Page
- Cut two 2 1/2″ and one 1 1/2″ pieces of green ric rac. Fuse ends.
- Place ric rac pieces about 2 1/4″ from the bottom of the page. Pin in desired positions and sew in place.
- Cut the following pieces from charm squares and sew together using 1/4″ seam allowance: 1 3/4″ x 2″, 2 1/2″ x 2″, 2 1/4″ x 2″ Press seams as desired.
- Place this piece on the bottom of the page so you cover the ends of the ric rac stems. Sew in place as desired. (I sewed about 1/8″ from the edge.)
- Place flowers on stems as desired, covering the ends of the ric rac stems. Layer the bottom layer, then the top. Add some decorative stitching to the flower centers to secure both layers of the flowers.
- Sew two leaves per flower as desired.
Flower #2 Page
1. Cut the following pieces from fat quarters (or you can use charms but they will be slightly shorter, still totally works) one 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ strip and one 1″ x 5 1/2″ strip. Piece together using 1/4″ seam allowance. Press seams as desired.
2. Place this piece and sew on the bottom of the page. (I sewed about 1/8″ from the edge.)
3. Cut one 4 1/2″ and one 5 1/2″ piece of pink ric rac. Fuse ends. Place ric rac as shown and sew in place.
4. Place flower petals as shown. Fuse in place. Use decorative stitching to secure the flower petals. I sewed down the middle of the petals, similar to how I did the rain drops. (As you can see I just went from flower to flower through the middle part. Saved me a little time instead of removing the page after each stitch.)
6. Place felt center and fabric center as desired, covering the stitching and the raw inside edges of the petals.
7. Sew centers in place by sewing through both layers.
Flower Finger Puppets Page
- Place one charm square on the page, about 3/4″ from the top of the page and sew in place using about 1/8″ seam allowance.
- Cut one 5 1/2″ x 6″ rectangle from a fat quarter. Fold in half and press. Place on page about 1/2″ from the bottom with the fold at the top. Sew in place about 1/8″ from the edge to create a pocket. Don't sew across the top.
- Cut out six finger puppet shapes from felt. Sew or fuse flowers to three of the finger puppet pieces.
- Put a thin bead tacky or hot glue around the edge of one finger puppet piece. (Not along the bottom.) Place a finger puppet piece with a flower on top and press together. Glue leaves in place.
- I included a flower song and finger play that my daughter and I have been singing. They were kinda the inspiration for this page. The songs don't require puppets, but puppets always make songs more fun! Right? Two song cards are included in the printable PDF. Just print it off, cut down to size, adhere back to back and laminate if desired. I also rounded the corners of my card. Songs are by Jean Warren and can be found here. (Paper backgrounds are from Crystal Wilkerson's Pretty Patterns Paper Packs in Caribbean Blue and Perfectly Pink.) The card is sized to fit into the pocket.
Back Cover
- In the upper right hand corner leave a about a 1″ square free from fabric for the binder ring hole.
- The back cover is just a series of thin strips from charm squares. I cut them in various widths from 1/2″ – 1″. Then just stagger them across the page and sew in place. Again, I used various types of decorative stitching.
Assembling the Book
1. Place the following pages back to back with WRONG sides together. Pin at the corners to secure.
- Cover & Sun Pages
- Birdie & Raindrop Pages
- Flowers #1 & Flower #2 Pages
- Finger Puppet Page & Back Cover
2. Sew pages together using 1/4″ seam allowance. Backstitch.
3. To make the holes for the binder ring, simply snip a small hole in the upper lefthand corner of each page pair about 1/4″ inside the stitching lines. I've had customers say they've made button holes or used grommets for this step. I've never done either but is an option. This way has always worked for me.
4. Slide pages onto binder ring.
5. Cut 1/2″ – 3/4″ wide strips from charm squares. Or you can use ribbon, just fuse the ends. Tie onto the binder ring.
one darling quiet book for one lucky little lady

THE PUBLIC EYE: John Boehner's Failure
As Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner is second in line to be President. And since the defeat of Mitt Romney, the Speaker has been the titular head of the Republican Party. While Boehner has political status and power, his inept handling of the fiscal cliff negotiation shows he's not a leader. He's a failure.
There are two explanations for Boehner's shortcomings. The first is that he may not understand how to negotiate a big deal.
The definitive book on negotiation is Roger Fischer and William Ury's 1981 bestseller, Getting to Yes, which elaborates four principles of negotiation. Boehner's actions regarding the fiscal cliff and the July 2011 debt ceiling crisis indicate he doesn't honor these.
1. Separate people and issues: Fischer and Ury noted, "Separating the people from the issues allows the parties to address the issues without damaging their relationship… Nor should one side blame the other for the problem." Many Congressional Republicans demonize Obama and blame him for most national problems. "Each side should try to make proposals which would be appealing to the other side." In the fiscal cliff negotiations Obama has tried to make proposals that are appealing to Republicans – for example, his proposal of a chained CPI for Social Security – but Boehner has not reciprocated.
2. Focus on interests: Fischer and Ury explained, "Your position is something you have decided upon. Your interests are what caused you to so decide." No tax increases is the Republican position. It's based upon the "interest" (belief) that low taxes grows the economy; it's a fundamental tenet of Reaganomics, the trickle-down theory that "a rising tide lifts all boats."
However both Democrats and Republicans want a strong economy and agree that letting all the Bush tax cuts expire would be detrimental. While many Republicans want to continue all Bush tax cuts, Boehner proposed letting taxes rise on those making more than $1 million. But he is unwilling to let a Senate Bill, to let taxes rise on those making more than $250,000, be brought to a vote in the House.
3. Generate Options: Fischer and Ury suggested several barriers to generating a set of policy options. One Party may prematurely lock in on an option and, therefore, not consider a wide range of alternatives. Many Republicans are unwilling to raise taxes under any circumstances. Another barrier is "the parties may define the problem in win-lose terms, assuming that the only options are for one side to win and the other to lose." Some Republicans want to deny President Obama any victory, even if it means tanking the economy.
4. Use Objective Criteria: Fischer and Ury noted, "When interests are directly opposed, the parties should use objective criteria to resolve their differences." One example of objective criteria is the opinion of the Congressional Budget Office about the consequences of no agreement:
"Taken together, CBO estimates, those policies will reduce the federal budget deficit by $607 billion, or 4.0 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), between fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The resulting weakening of the economy will lower taxable incomes and raise unemployment, generating a reduction in tax revenues and an increase in spending on such items as unemployment insurance… Such a contraction in output in the first half of 2013 would probably be judged to be a recession."Boehner appears to agree with this, but it hasn't affected his negotiating style.
While Boehner is a poor negotiator, his personality provides the best explanation for his weak performance. New York Times writer Matt Bai analyzed the failed July 2011 Debt Ceiling negotiation between Boehner and Obama. Bai observed:
" Boehner had traveled an idiosyncratic path to the speakership, having never served as a House whip, the pivotal job of corralling and counting votes. He wasn't much of a closer, either; the more aggressive tactics that "getting to yes" sometimes required didn't come naturally to him. Boehner seemed to believe that his prestige as speaker would carry the day on key votes, but already that assumption had gotten him into trouble a few times, and other members of his leadership team had little faith in his predictions."In both the Debt Ceiling and Fiscal cliff negotiation Boehner precipitously dropped out and then blamed the President. In each case he cut a preliminary deal with Obama, presented it to the Republican members of the House, and saw them reject it. Then Boehner fabricated a story to cover his failure.
The Speaker took the easy way out. In both instances, Boehner has had the option of presenting his agreement with the President to the entire House of Representatives and submitting it to an up or down vote. Boehner chose not to do this because he isn't a leader. He's content to save face and cover his ass.
John Boehner is a failure. He is responsible for the US falling over the fiscal cliff.

The fertile imaginings of people who scrutinize photos beamed to Earth by the Mars rovers have yielded an intriguing list of unexpected items, from a mysterious "underground" light to the skeletal remains of a horse.
The latest foreign object is a "toy boat" spotted by the rover Curiosity and described in a YouTube video posted June 17, 2014, by Extraterrestrial TV. According to the video, the object that looks like a child's boat is "clearly" different from its surroundings and casts a shadow.
In the years that the rovers have been sending back photos, a number of strange objects have been highlighted by UFO Sightings Daily, a popular blog that mines NASA photos for evidence of life in outer space. Maintained by Scott C. Waring, UFO Sightings Daily has not yet weighed in on the latest toy boat but has talked about other "toy-sized" objects in the past.
In January, 2014, a "mystery rock" that showed up in photos from the NASA rover Opportunity had even the scientific community buzzing about what it could be. Eventually, the space agency determined that the rover itself, in turning in place, had somehow moved the rock from one place to another.
Opportunity landed on Mars on Jan. 24, 2004, on what was to be a three-month mission and has been roaming around for 10 years. The Curiosity rover has been on Mars since August 2012.

Planetary scientists across the US will bring attention to NASA budget cuts on Saturday by mockingly hosting their own fundraising event: the National Planetary Exploration Car Wash & Bake Sale.
"Join us and make Congress and the American public aware of the planetary cuts and the damage they are doing!" the organizers exhort on their website.
The protest is in reponse to the squeeze in the Obama administration's 2013 NASA budget, which put the boot into planentary science in favor of the James Webb Space Telescope and preparations for future manned missions.
"Some important, but currently unaffordable missions are deferred, such as large-scale missions to study the expansion of the universe and to return samples from Mars," the narrative to that budget reads.
Translation: say goodbye to the planned 2016 Mars Trace Gas Orbiter and 2018 ExoMars missions that were under development with the European Space Agency, and say hello to an era during which planetary science takes a back seat.
NASA's 2013 budget of $17.7bn – essentially flat from this year, by the way – is miniscule in comparison to the $3.8 trillion US Federal Budget within which it sits, as well as being a rounding error in the impact on the US budget by the Bush-era tax cuts for
rich people "job creators", which a Congressional Budget Office report that was updated this Thursday estimates cost the Treasury about $1.2 trillion between 2002 and 2011.
The 2013 NASA budget cuts planetary science from $1.5bn this year to $1.2bn next. That's a lot of car washes and baked goods, but with events scheduled in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah, if the space boffins can't make a dent in their shortfall, they can at least bring some attention to their plight.
And speaking of plights, pity the poor event organizers at the Southwest Research Institute's Space Science and Engineering Division in Boulder, Colorado, where local regulations prevent both the selling of tasty baked goods without a vendor permit and the washing of sudsy car-wash runoff into storm drains.
The plucky Coloradans' solution? To do their part to help save planetary science from fading away from the nation's intellectual horizon, those never-say-die worthies will be shining shoes instead.
If you find yourself in Boulder this Saturday, by all means bring your scruffy Florsheims to the First United Methodist Church at 1421 Spruce Street. And please, tip well. ®

Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard characterized her meeting with president-elect Donald Trump on Monday as a "frank and positive" conversation, NBC News reported.
Hawaii was Trump's single worst state (he got only 29 percent of the vote).
Gabbard, who has often challenged President Barack Obama on national security and supported Bernie Sanders' presidential candidacy, said she discussed Syria and other foreign policy issues with Trump.
U.S. & World
Gabbard, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, also said she and Trump discussed legislation that she is pushing that would end what she described as "our country's illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government."
Sanders embraced Gabbard and she became an effective surrogate for his campaign, appearing in a Sanders ad that featured her surfing and discussing the cost of war.

UH nursing consortium agrees to establish a statewide undergraduate nursing curriculum by Fall 2008University of Hawaiʻi
School of Nursing & Dental Hygiene
"As the only publicly supported nursing education institution in the state, we recognize our responsibility and are optimistic that the public sector will work with us to provide the resources required for nursing workforce development," said Mary Boland, Dean of Nursing at UH Mānoa.
This initiative will enable campuses to offer an education program that is designed to better meet the health needs of Hawaiʻi's citizens, provide students on all the islands with flexible pathways, and address the state's current nursing shortage by allowing more students to enroll.
"The consortium agreed that a statewide curriculum is much needed and will prepare students with the competencies to address the rapidly changing health care needs of our population," said Lois Magnussen, Interim Associate Dean of the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene at UH Mānoa. "It is an exciting effort that will involve moving from traditional teaching to student-centered and simulated learning approaches."
Currently, the university offers an associate degree in nursing at four community colleges and a baccalaureate degree in nursing at UH Mānoa and UH Hilo. Nursing students who graduate from the community colleges and decide to attain further education normally have to reapply at either of the upper-division campuses and continue with their studies. With the proposed curriculum, all students will take standard pre-requisite courses during their first year. The second year of the curriculum will be the same at all campuses. The third year of study marks a decision point for students in the program when they will be given the option to exit with an associate degree, or to complete a bachelor's degree with a fourth year of study.

The genius of photography is the ability to capture something in a moment in time. The beauty of photography is the ability to show us the things we see or, perhaps, overlook everyday, and the challenge is to get us to stop and take notice. I try to bring a sense of energy and emotion to whatever I photograph. When I make a photo I try to execute my technique at the time the image is captured. Motion, selective focus, or lack of focus the challenge is to keep the digital intrusion to a minimum.

Donning fake beard, Fisk relishes return in Game 6
Supporting current Red Sox, '75 World Series hero throws out first pitch at Fenway
BOSTON -- Carlton Fisk remembers a lot about the game that ended with his famous home run off the left-field foul pole in the 1975 World Series.
Fisk remembers how drama-filled the innings were leading up to that 12th-inning at-bat in Game 6. He remembers the Red Sox being ahead and behind and tied with the Reds in a back-and-forth contest that exhausted him by the end of the ninth. Fisk remembers standing in the on-deck circle with Fred Lynn to begin the 12th.
But the one thing that sticks out in Fisk's mind is Pete Rose blathering to him as he dug in the previous inning.
"He came up to the plate all excited," Fisk recalled. "'Isn't this the best game you've ever played in? I've never played in a game like this before. This is the greatest game.' [It was] about the time I was falling asleep, because it was way past my bedtime. And then I kind of realized, 'This is a pretty great game.'"
Indeed, it was a pretty great game, one that is very much alive in the memories of longtime Red Sox fans and is still considered one of the greatest moments in team history, even with the two World Series championships they won in more modern times. Fisk's at-bat, and his animated gestures as he tried to will his home run to stay fair, is a permanent highlight in Beantown. It was a Game 6 for the ages, and a happy one for a fanbase that has also been haunted by that particular number.
It was no coincidence that the Red Sox brought back their Hall of Fame catcher to throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to this Game 6. Boston returned to Fenway needing one more win to capture the title, and if there is such thing as Game 6 karma, it was on full display during pregame ceremonies. Fisk -- who donned a fake beard prior to throwing his pitch -- was joined on the mound by Luis Tiant, who was 2-0 in the 1975 World Series.
Fisk remembered feeling like he had something working for him heading into his 12th inning at-bat that fateful night at Fenway in '75. Standing on deck, he said to Lynn, "Freddy, I'm going to hit one off the wall. Drive me in."
"He said, 'Yeah, that sounds great to me,'" Fisk recalled. "Then two pitches later, it was off the foul pole. When I hit it, I knew it was high enough, I knew it was long enough, but I didn't know if it was going to stay fair. And then it did, which was pretty sweet."
Fisk hasn't had a lot of facetime during pregame ceremonies, but to no fault of his or the Red Sox's front-office organizers. The previous series simply didn't last long enough for his turn to come up, and in that respect, he was glad the current Red Sox-Cardinals faceoff stretched out a bit.
"I was supposed to throw out the first pitch in the sixth game against the Cardinals in '04; there was no sixth game," Fisk quipped. "I was supposed to throw out the first pitch in the sixth game against the Rockies in '07, and they won in four games. Now I'm saying, 'OK, why don't you lose a couple of games?'"
Fisk and Tiant weren't the only Boston staples asked to participate in the pregame ceremonies. Celtic band Dropkick Murphys, a local group that plays in venues all over the world, performed the national anthem, and they followed with their 2005 hit single, "I'm Shipping Up To Boston," complete with a group of five curly-haired dancing girls who put a modern twist on an old Irish jig.
The band's association with Boston and the Red Sox is also long and proud, especially through their charitable foundation, "The Claddagh Fund." Their revamp of the turn-of-the-century Red Sox rally song "Tessie" became the theme song for the team's 2004 World Series win. Dropkick Murphys played at Red Sox games multiple times in '04 and '07, and they played at this year's American League Championship Series clincher, with a perfect winning record at all those games.
Scheduled to performing "God Bless America" in the middle of the seventh inning was a quartet from the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band, including Master Sgt. Jennifer Dashnaw, Tech. Sgt. Quez Vasquez, Tech. Sgt. Niko Ellison and Staff Sgt. Rachel Webber.
Ten-year-old Jordan Laudani delivered the first ball to the mound with Hall of Famer and Red Sox Legend Jim Rice. Laudani, who is a member of the Watertown Boys & Girls Club, is in the fifth grade at Hosmer Elementary in Watertown, Mass.

Henry Jordan was the fifth player to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame from the outstanding Green Bay defensive unit that helped to make the Packers the scourge of the National Football League during the 1960s. Jordan's defensive linemate Willie Davis, linebacker Ray Nitschke, cornerback Herb Adderley and safety Willie Wood are the defensive stalwarts who preceded the 6-2, 248-pound defensive tackle into the Hall.
A three-sport star at the University of Virginia where he captained the football team as a senior and was a runner-up in the heavyweight class of the 1957 NCAA wrestling championships, Jordan began his pro football career as a fifth-round draft pick of the 1957 Cleveland Browns.
Henry quickly assured himself a spot on the roster as a hard-hitting defensive tackle for a team that grabbed the 1957 NFL Eastern division title and tied for the division crown a year later. But before the 1959 season, Cleveland sent him to the Packers for a fourth-round draft choice.
Jordan's acquisition proved to be a key element in coach Vince Lombardi's ambitious building program. For the next decade, Jordan, who was born in Emporia, Virginia, on January 26, 1935, was a fixture at defensive right tackle as Green Bay won six divisional titles, five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls. Jordan, known as a quick, smart defender, specialized in pressuring the passer.
He won All-NFL acclaim five times in 1960, 1961,1962, 1963, and 1964, and also played in four Pro Bowls, seven NFL title games and Super Bowls I and II. He was named the Outstanding Lineman in the 1962 Pro Bowl classic. Extremely durable, he missed only two games in his first 12 seasons before his final 1969 campaign, when injuries limited his playing time to just five games.

This was one of my email devotionals from a while back. I remember hearing about this a long time ago, and since my last post spoke about giving God the Glory, I thought I'd share this…and I think I shall include these letters in my posts from now on.
By Jim Liebelt
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
Psalm 54:4
While searching on a website devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach, I found something interesting. It seems that Bach often wrote the letters "JJ" at the beginning of his scores and the letters "SDG" at the end. What did these letters mean? JJ stood for the Latin Jesu Juva, which means "Help o Jesus." So, it seems that at the beginning of creating his music, Bach was requesting Divine help. SDG stood for the Latin Soli Deo Gloria, which means, "To God alone glory." It seems that at the end of creating his music, Bach gave thanks to God.
Bach was an extremely gifted composer. Still, despite his talents, he had the habit of asking for Jesus' help as he began his work and then giving thanks to God when he was finished. This plants within me the desire to be more intentional about including God in my day.
I would think that it would be easy for a person of Bach's giftedness to take God's role in their life for granted—to begin to rely on self and to take some time to pat oneself on the back for a job well done! If a person of Bach's talent and giftedness made it a habit to ask for God's help and to give God thanks, how much more should we do the same?
In the end, it is to our benefit to be reminded that we are all dependent upon the Lord for everything. We really do need His help! We also benefit from giving thanks to God. It gives us needed perspective to understand that all we accomplish is from God's gracious hand.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common forms of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

Zumiez: "Has the riding experience changed over the years that you've been pro?"
Curtis Ciszek: "At some points its like a job and you have to wake up at 5 in the morning and go out, you'd rather sleep in I'm sure, but once you get out in the mountains its mostly stress free. There's always times when you're like 'I don't want to hit this right now but I really need shots.' but for the most part its still just as fun as the day I started."
Zumiez: "Do you change your approach when riding for a photo shoot as opposed to a video shoot?"
Curtis Ciszek: "I think most of the photos that people see are taken while we're filming for movie projects, I mean there's always catalog shoots or stuff like that where its more lifestyle and the companies are trying to display their product more than action but you get most of your action photos while filming."
Zumiez: "Where's your favorite place to ride?"
Curtis Ciszek: "I'm gonna have to say it's still the beginning of the year at home. I love being at home when fall and winter rolls around and riding with all my friends here in Bend, and I know the mountain better than anywhere else. There's also a lot of fun stuff that goes on at the beginning of the year like the Dirksen Derby, I don't know. Its just a good place to get warmed up for the beginning of the season."
Zumiez: "Who has the best vision of what snowboarding is about?"
Curtis Ciszek: "I think for me its awesome for the weekend warriors that drive up from the city. They're the dudes that everybody hates who lives at the mountain but they're the ones that are coming up and buying lift tickets, doing it just for the fun, and nothing else, that's pretty cool."

Minister Lajčák officially becomes Slovakia´s candidate for UN Secretary-General
Minister Lajčák officially becomes Slovakia´s candidate for UN Secretary-General
Bratislava (25 May) - At its Wednesday session in Bratislava, the Government of the Slovak Republic approved the nomination of Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Miroslav Lajčák for the post of UN Secretary-General. This was done in response to the invitation made by President of the UN General Assembly for the member states to nominate candidates with proven leadership and managerial abilities, extensive experience in international relations, and strong diplomatic, communication and multilingual skills for this post.
"The Government has unanimously expressed its support for the candidacy of Miroslav Lajčák. This is a historic occasion as Slovakia has never nominated its candidate for such international post before," stated Prime Minister Robert Fico following the Government session.
"It also attests to the fact that Slovakia has reared an entire generation of excellent diplomats working at various levels – and, undoubtedly, at the top of this pyramid of outstanding diplomats, there is Minister Miroslav Lajčák, who is widely recognized both at home and mainly abroad," stated Prime Minister Fico.
The Prime Minister then sent a letter to present the nomination to the President of the UN General Assembly and the President of the UN Security Council.
The Minister Lajčák´s candidacy was also publicly supported by President of the Slovak Republic Andrej Kiska, as well as by Speaker of the Slovak National Council Andrej Danko.
"The post of UN Secretary-General belongs among the most prestigious but also the most demanding. Therefore, it requires a man with extraordinary abilities and I'm convinced that Minister Lajčák meets all the criteria. Foreign partners respect his opinions and he has a great reputation in the world," said President Kiska. In his view, the personage of Minister Lajčák confirms that Slovakia has experts who rank among the top world-wide.
This fact was also appreciated by Danko. "I'm pleased that one of our citizens has achieved such a quality of education, social recognition and diplomatic status that enables him to apply for the post of UN Secretary-General. In his work, for instance in the difficult times in the Balkans, Minister Lajčák was able to cement people regardless of their nationality or confession and I think that the UN needs such a person." Minister Lajčák sees the Government nomination and the support of the Slovak top constitutional stakeholders as an expression of confidence, as well as a great commitment towards Slovakia. "It is a great honor but also responsibility. I appreciate the declared support and I accept the nomination with respect and also resolve to do everything to ensure that Slovakia does not have to be ashamed of me," highlighted Minister Lajčák.
"Slovak foreign policy has continuously professed respect for international law, dialogue and mutual respect– and these are the principles the UN is based on and which I trust and promote in my professional life," he added.
Lajčák will work on his candidacy for the UN Secretary-General post along with his existing obligations as Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, remaining the main priority for him, along with the preparations of the country for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The campaign for his election to the post of the UN Secretary-General is covered by a small working team of pre-existing staff and within the existing budget at the Ministry.

The Department of Chemistry at Indiana University currently has 36 full-time research faculty and 5 full-time teaching faculty who teach our undergraduate curriculum. Our department is committed to students gaining chemistry knowledge and learning how to problem-solving throughout our curriculum, and we offer a range of courses and opportunities that provide this framework. Curricular developments and teaching facility enhancements continue on a regular basis in our department.
For the most updated course information, please see the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin. Enrollments in courses are limited to students with a grade of C- or higher in the prerequisite chemistry courses.
Student Experiences
Amna Yaqub
April Ye
Regine Vincent
Our department offers four degrees, a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in both Biochemistry and Chemistry, as well as a minor in Chemistry. Both B.S. degrees are certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and prepare students well for either graduate school or industrial positions. Usually, the B.A. degrees are pursued by students wanting to pursue post-professional school.
Our office is located in the Chemistry Building (C021) and our office staff can be reached at (812) 855-2700. If you are a prospective student or need to make an advising appointment, feel free to contact one of our chemistry advisor, Carly Friedman or Emily Davis to set up an on-campus visit.
What Do Our Students Do with a Chemistry Degree?
- One third of our graduating seniors in chemistry and biochemistry attend graduate school, often recruited by the best graduate schools in the nation.
- One third of our graduating seniors enter the workforce in an industrial position.
- One third of our graduating seniors are accepted into the best post-professional schools (e.g. medical, dental, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary, physician's assistant, chiropractor, and law schools), where a small number of students pursue combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees in biochemistry and medicine.
Undergraduates who wish to teach chemistry may wish to pursue our new B.S. Chemistry/M.S. Education duel degree that can be accomplished in five years. This degree is designed for students who wish to teach at either secondary schools or community colleges while providing a strong and versatile enough background to be employed in industry.
Furthermore, several students choose to pursue and earn two degrees in four years (e.g. B.A. Chemistry/B.A. Germanic Studies; B.A. Chemistry/B.A. Drama; B.S. Chemistry/B.S. Biology; B.S. Biochemistry/B.S. Neuroscience; B.S. Biochemistry/B.S. Mathematics). Alternatively, students demonstrate their interests by earning minors in several areas.
High Impact Practices Outside the Classroom
Research. Students can pursue research with preeminent chemists on our faculty, often leading to publications after several semesters of research. We encourage our majors to take X399: Chemical Research and X499: Chemical Research Capstone for credit toward graduation. Students can apply for summer support every January for the following summer (applications in the UGO).The Indiana University Journal of Undergraduate Research seeks student writers. The IUJUR aims to sustain an annual, student-run, faculty-mentored undergraduate research publication for Indiana University.
Overseas Study
Although our students pursue a rigorous and challenging curriculum with smart decisions, several of our students can fit in an overseas studies opportunity (Office of Overseas Study) either in several weeks over the summer or in one semester.
Internships are usually arranged with local industries during the summer sessions and are designed to provide opportunities for students to receive credit for career-related, full-time work.
Service Learning.
By taking X170: Service Learning in Chemistry, students find fulfilling experiences working within the community to foster interest, knowledge, and appreciation in the sciences. Students prepare and execute demonstrations and in-class lessons at the primary and secondary school levels. Students learn more about their discipline while providing mentoring for younger students in the community.
Career Preparation
G207: Chemical Scholarship & Presentation and G307: Chemical Career Planning provide a framework to prepare students for the workplace. G207 involves the preparation of scientific oral presentations and poster presentations. G307 focuses on writing resumes, personal statements, and cover letters, including interviewing skills, discussion of graduate programs and careers in chemistry, personal assessment, job searching strategies, labor market trends, and principles of career planning.
A select number of our advanced students have the opportunity to serve as Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (X371: Internship in Chemical Instruction), providing valuable experiences in peer instruction in the classroom.
Students have several opportunities to join student groups such as the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Sociey (SAACS; professional chemistry society), Alpha Chi Sigma (AXE; chemistry fratenity), and the Minority Association for Pre-Medical Students (MAPS; helping all students prepare for health professions).

On the Internet, a 404 error means a broken or dead link at that particular address. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Peugeot 404 is a link to the Gallic past, but will its price make you point your browser elsewhere?
They say there's six degrees of Kevin Bacon, and much like that well connected actor, there are certain threads that bind together Volvo and Peugeot. One of those is the odd 90-degree PVR V6 used by the Swedes, Peugeot, and Renault in the '70s and '80s, and the other is the fact that yesterday's 1966 Volvo 122S is being followed today by a two-year newer Peugeot 404 wagon. Plus, both cars are painted sacre bleu. Coincidence? I think not.
That Swede was fully restored and as such commanded a hefty price. The thing is though, Amazons that nice are about as rare as a feel-good Swedish film, and its condition garnered it an equally weighty 78% Nice Price win. Today, we'll see how the French do in comparison.
The comparison is especially apt as the 122S was a close competitor to Peugeot's equally numeric 404. Designed by Pininfarina during their fin phase, the 404 in sedan form looks Xerox similar to the contemporary MG Magnette and Fiat 2300, both also products of the Italian design house. As an estate, well, it's downright elegant. The Familiale shared its platform with the sedan from the nose forward, but from there back it was all unique. That meant a longer wheelbase allowing for three row seating up top and a 4-coil rear axle (with complex Peugeot-built shocks) that could support over 1,000kg of cargo and still provide a ride for which the French are famous.
This baby blue 1968 404 appears to be in decent shape and all intact. That's a good start as things like glass and trim will be hard to find outside of a Paris cour de ferraille. When New, the 404 had a choice of gas or diesel engines, but as the seller claims this one has a new rotor and distributor cap, as well as a rebuilt Solex, we can safely assume that it is powered by the 76-bhp OHV 1.6-litre. That cast iron four has a reputation for durability, and an odd three and one intake which gives it an iconic appearance. This Pug also looks to have the four-speed manual - with a fancy pants column shifter! That won't make it any faster, but will at least give you something to do while waiting the 20 to 30 seconds it will take to get the car to sixty.
Inside, the dash looks like it's suffering from more cracks than a plumbers' convention and the Barcalounger passing for the passenger seat appears to have a tear in it. Or maybe that's just something sitting there. The carpet has gone all sepia tone from decades of sun, but overall, it seems perfectly livable as-is. There's no shot of the load area to see if the car has the lovely polished wood floorboards that were available, but if so that's reason enough to buy it.
While it wears classic California black plates, the seller claims the car is now Nevada branded, and has a clear title. In fact, it's being offered in Pahrump, home to the Spring Mountain Raceway, and the inspiration for the Black Eyed Peas, who originally titled My Humps after the city, and included the lyrics Pahrump, Pahrump, Pahrump, I've got so much junk, down in my trunk, I really ought to take a dump. . . I bring that up because the Peas are really popular in France.
The question for us of course is how popular is this French estate here in the U.S., and whether it's worth its $2,800 price. What do you think, does this mime mover look worth that? Or, is this a lug of a pug with a price that is fug?

Hi everyone,
I hope you don't mind if I start a thread to document my cessation of cannabis. Tonight I decided to abstain. I don't usually smoke during the week, but today I was in such a good mood and I have my period, so I felt like I wanted to take my happiness to another level.
However, since I have decided not to smoke any more, I abstained. Now I have plunged into sadness and depression, and I guess the easiest thing to do is to smoke, but if I did, I would have a hangover (on a Wednesday no less) and in a couple of nights get nightmares. Therefore, I decided not to smoke, come what may.
My psychologist uses the ACT mindfully method, which I have found very effective and part of it is to be willing to experience uncomfortable feelings. I am getting better at this. I feel like crap tonight. I was so happy and now I feel like crap, but I am willing to go through this so that tomorrow I am not having some kind of fuzzy head for a few hours and the nightmares. There is nothing I can do about uncomfortable feelings. They will be here whether I smoke or not!

I am thinking I might just go to bed soon. It was a good day. Perhaps it would have been GREAT if I got high, but it is Tuesday night. Seriously!?! And I want to quit this to be more self sufficient.
Good luck in your quit journey!
Goodnight! I am not going to feel good tonight, so I may as well go to bed :-)

This is hardly news, but a semi-recent report published a few months ago in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology reiterated that pregnant women should always wear seat belts when driving or riding in a car.
Researchers at the University of Michigan reported that 200 of the roughly 370 fetuses who die in car crashes in the US each year could be saved if Mom buckled up.
It has long been known that the biggest danger to a pre-born's health is harm to the Mom-to-be.
Yes, a seat belt can be uncomfortable, as they can be for many women, pregnant or not.
But they're a heck of a lot more comfortable than slamming your face into a steering wheel or dashboard.
Pregnant women should make sure the lap portion of the belt is below the tummy, and secure against the hip bones.
The shoulder strap should go between the breasts and to the side of the tummy, not across it.
Both portions should be snug, not loose, so the belt can do its job properly.
And Dad? Buckle up too.

Forum Post: SYG Law Leads to Triple Homicides
Posted 6 years ago on July 18, 2013, 1:33 p.m. EST by TikiJ
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Wow, what a headline. And it's correct.
Ok, so in Florida your stats say in 2005 the number of "justified" homicides was 12, and now in 2012 its 35.
35 "justified" murders- we'll assume maybe 1/4 of those are legit (I dont have the time to do all of this research, thats what our bought out media is suppose to be doing)...
So we have roughly 27 murders that are in effect here.
Here's the kicker: 2011 Florida had 984 murders. Holy crap.
So everyone is going to focus on the law that people used in DEFENSE in 27-35 cases.
Whats the deal with the other 950 murders. Those 35... we are talking about 3.5% of that total.
The media has turned this entire topic to SYG. Now obviously, someone "feeling" threatened is not reason to kill someone. We all run into these situations. Killing is never the answer.
Many try for SYG defense, or just plain self defense. If the other person is dead, who is to say who put whose hands on who first?
The problem is the killing. We are killing each other here at insane rates, and we are killing people overseas just as well.
984 murders in Fl in 2011. SYG or not, that is INSANE.
CDC lists 2010 Homicides in US @ "Number of deaths: 16,259"
Think about that. Over 16,000 people were murdered in this country that year.
We have completely lost our ever loving minds here. Our economic system is out of control, our social lives are out of control (que violent music and puckered lips self glam shots for facebook) and our justice system is based solely on money.
SYG words great, if you have money. If you dont, get you get what everyone else without money gets- crap.
Theres a woman here who was beaten by her husband, fired a shot in the air, and got 20 years. Claimed SYG. What happened? She didnt have a lot of money.
Self defense, SYG, etc... The media is purposely avoiding the root here- Americans killing other Americans, and a money based justice system. 16,000 times a year. In FL alone that means that 3 people here get murdered EVERY DAY.
That is sick.
Humans are sick (or is it just us?)
What are we going to do? I don't think we are going to be around much longer. This is horrific, and mother nature will take care of it like she always does.

Friday, May 2, 2008
President Bush last week signed into law a bill which will see the federal government begin to screen the DNA of all newborn babies in the U.S. within six months, a move critics have described as the first step towards the establishment of a national DNA database.
Described as a "national contingency plan" the justification for the new law S. 1858, known as The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007, is that it represents preparation for any sort of "public health emergency."
The bill states that the federal government should "continue to carry out, coordinate, and expand research in newborn screening" and "maintain a central clearinghouse of current information on newborn screening… ensuring that the clearinghouse is available on the Internet and is updated at least quarterly".
Sections of the bill also make it clear that DNA may be used in genetic experiments and tests.
Read the full bill here.
One health care expert and prominent critic of DNA screening is Twila Brase, president of the Citizens' Council on Health Care who has written a detailed analysis (PDF) of the new law in which she warns that it represents the first program of populationwide genetic testing.
Brase states that S.1858 and H.R. 3825, the House version of the bill, will:
• Establish a national list of genetic conditions for which newborns and children are to be tested.
• Establish protocols for the linking and sharing of genetic test results nationwide.
• Build surveillance systems for tracking the health status and health outcomes of individuals diagnosed at birth with a genetic defect or trait.
• Use the newborn screening program as an opportunity for government agencies to identify, list, and study "secondary conditions" of individuals and their families.
• Subject citizens to genetic research without their knowledge or consent.
"Soon, under this bill, the DNA of all citizens will be housed in government genomic biobanks and considered governmental property for government research," Brase writes. "The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research."
"The public is clueless. S. 1858 imposes a federal agenda of DNA databanking and population-wide genetic research. It does not require consent and there are no requirements to fully inform parents about the warehousing of their child's DNA for the purpose of genetic research."
In a previous report we outlined the consequences of the already existing DNA warehousing operation in Minnesota, a program that the Citizens' Council on Health Care has been following closely for a number of years.
Ms. Brase explained in a statement last month that state Health Department officials are now seeking exemption for the so called "DNA Warehouse" from Minnesota privacy law. This would enable state officials to continue to take the DNA of newborn infants without consent, which would also set the precedent for nationwide policy on DNA screening.
DNA of newborns has already been harvested, tested, stored and experimented with nationwide.
The National Conference of State Legislatures lists for all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the various statutes or regulatory provisions under which newborns' DNA is already being collected.
In addition, all 50 states are now routinely providing these results to the Department of Homeland Security.
The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007 merely establishes this practice within the law.
Another vocal critic of bill S. 1858 is Texas Congressman Ron Paul who made the following comments before the U.S. House of Representatives:
"I cannot support legislation, no matter how much I sympathize with the legislation's stated goals, that exceed the Constitutional limitations on federal power or in any way threatens the liberty of the American people. Since S. 1858 violates the Constitution, and may have untended consequences that will weaken the American health care system and further erode medical privacy, I must oppose it."
Paul, a medical doctor himself continued, "S. 1858 gives the federal bureaucracy the authority to develop a model newborn screening program. Madame Speaker the federal government lacks both the constitutional authority and the competence to develop a newborn screening program adequate for a nation as large and diverse as the United States. …"
"Those of us in the medical profession should be particularly concerned about policies allowing government officials and state-favored interests to access our medical records without our consent … My review of S. 1858 indicates the drafters of the legislation made no effort to ensure these newborn screening programs do not violate the privacy rights of parents and children," Paul continued.
"In fact, by directing federal bureaucrats to create a contingency plan for newborn screening in the event of a 'public health' disaster, this bill may lead to further erosions of medical privacy. As recent history so eloquently illustrates, politicians are more than willing to take, and people are more than willing to cede, liberty during times of 'emergency," he concluded.

a sudden intuitive leap of understanding especially through an ordinary but striking occurrence.
i'm a back-row girl. unless it's a concert of my favorite band, i'm most comfortable in the back row. there are more distractions there. life is more interesting in the back row. and that's precisely where i had my first epiphany. i was sitting in the back corner at church on a sunday morning. many times mothers of babies or young children sat in our corner. i'd been restless on the inisde for several weeks. uneasy. fidgety and tired. i have no idea what the sermon was about...God was speaking directly to me...and it wasn't through the pastor. a mother was holding her baby. trying her best to keep him quiet. but he was restless. uneasy. fidgety and tired. she cradled him in her arms. she rocked him back and forth. she tried so hard to comfort him and it was like he was fighting against it. as an adult, looking at the interaction between parent and child, i thought to myself, "oh, you're so tired and your mama is trying so hard to comfort you. just lay your head on her shoulder. stop fighting. she's safe. rest in her love." and God said to me, "exactly."

"throw away the lights, the definitions and say of what you see in the dark"
there's something here about who a person REALLY is, in their soul. because that's where there are no lights, and the only definitions are the ones that other people see. maybe that's why we try so hard to explain ourselves - to be understood - because we want to be reassured that who we are perceived to be is who we really are. who am i really? who do i see in the dark? maybe there's something here too about not seeing. about loss of sight. about using our other senses, like listening, to be the autohrs of definition...to be the tools with which we record what we do not see, but come to know of a person. i want to be defined by the sound of my voice, the depth of my laughter, the taste of my tears, the smell of my skin, the warmth of my embrace, the gentleness of my touch, the passion in my voice.... don't tell me who i am when you look at me, tell me instead who i am after you've experienced me. when my soul has touched your soul, then you can say you know me. and knowing is growing. you can't read me once and claim to know me. rather, stick with me and re-read me. grow with me through change, and then you can say you know me. i ask you to see me, not with your eyes, and i will do the same for you.

On the one hand, I want to defend my party. I want to show the world that the Lib Dems and Clegg in particular don't deserve this hatred, that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, that this won't hurt the poor as badly as people think.
On the other, I want every one of those MPs who breaks their pledge to suffer – especially those who now drive around in Ministerial cars. I want to blame them for trebling tuition fees in one fell swoop, instead of doing away with them altogether, a platform the LibDems have held for years, and garnered many student votes because of it.
I won't bother fully enunciating the vitriol my student half feels. Just look at the TV, on facebook, down at your Uni's student union…it's everywhere. There's no point in me blogging about it.
So instead, I'll warn my beloved Lib Dems. The ones I have defended for years against allegations of being the useless third party, that we'd never be able to taste power, that we were irrelevant. Constantly, comedians wondering who Nick Clegg was. The news side-lining us. All in the past now.
Don't turn your back on the students. We are the basis for victories in too many constituencies to alienate our support.

Mobile Social Ads Not Working Yet? How About Making Users Pay to Advertise Themselves.
Mobile social apps are notoriously poorly monetized. Some companies, like Facebook, haven't even launched mobile ads yet, while others have found them much less lucrative than hoped.
MyYearbook is going in a different direction. The "social discovery" site, which helps users meet each other but isn't explicitly about dating, has actually been pretty smart about zigging when others are zagging. Its latest business model experiment is a mobile credits program where users can pay to promote themselves to other users.
MyYearbook is giving all its users a popularity score based on their number of profile views, friend requests and other activity. Users will be able to directly manipulate that score by buying mobile credits to "spotlight" their own profiles within the app.
Usually, credits sold within a social network are used to buy virtual goods, but myYearbook is selling credits to users so they can basically buy their own ad units, which are targeted by age, gender and location.
Obviously, gaming user popularity wouldn't work for a social app that's trying to directly reflect real-world relationships, but it makes sense in the context of myYearbook. It's similar, argued Quepasa COO Geoff Cook, to how Zillow charges realtors to promote themselves to other users.
(Cook was formerly CEO of myYearbook, before it merged with Latino social network Quepasa last year.)
The pressure is on to make money from mobile, Cook said, because myYearbook users are migrating there in droves. Fifty-four percent of both daily and monthly active users log in from myYearbook's iOS and Android apps, and 17 percent of users are mobile-only.
Versus Web users, mobile users visit myYearbook more often, for shorter periods of time.
Up till now, myYearbook had been showing about one ad per mobile page view, but only making a "single digit" percent of its revenues from mobile. Cook said mobile ads bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars per month — but that's not enough, considering mobile usage.
The myYearbook's mobile credits system will be available on both iOS and Android, and it will tie to existing credits and promotion systems on the Web. In line with other in-app payments efforts, Cook said he expects more success on iOS.

Cannon scored 17 of his 19 points and pulled down nine of his 14 boards in the first half, propelling St. Francis (10-6, 1-0 NEC) to a decisive 52-28 advantage on the glass for the game.
The Blackbirds opened the contest in a zone defense that was effective in making the Terriers miss on their first shot of each possession. In fact, LIU forced St. Francis into 8-for-28 shooting (28.6%) on initial shots. But the Blackbirds were undone by their inability to pull down defensive rebounds, allowing 20 offensive boards in the first 20 minutes that resulted in 19 second-chance points.
LIU Brooklyn point guard Jason Brickman's 11 assists give him 860 for his career, moving him past Anthony Manuel of Bradley and Grayson Marshall of Clemson into 20th place on the NCAA career assists list. Next up on the list is Taurence Chisholm of Delaware, who currently stands in 19th place with 877.
The week didn't get any better for LIU Brooklyn, who traveled to Staten Island on Saturday to face Wagner, falling 84-70 to fall to 5-10 on the season and 0-2 in conference play. LIU Brooklyn returns home to continue NEC play against Fairleigh Dickinson on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 7:00 p.m.
And despite a career-high 25 points from Cannon, St. Francis lost its own road contest in Maryland against the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers, 88-82. St. Francis has another road game on the schedule, traveling to take on Central Connecticut State on Thursday evening.
