The ability to differentiate between home repairs and improvements that you can make yourself and those that will require the help of a contractor is a very important skill to have. Not only will this skill prevent you from spending more money than you need to on professional services, but it will also help you to avoid costly mistakes by attempting DIY projects that are out of your league. It is my hope that this information contained in this blog will help you to obtain this skill. More importantly, it is my hope that once you have identified a project you wish to take on, this information in this blog will help you to get the job done.

As the general manager of your facility, one of your key responsibilities is safety, not just of your employees, but also of contractors and other visitors to your site. Due to this, you already have procedures in place for the safety of your employees and visitors.
But it's also important to have contingency plans in place for problems that can arise, such as when you need new roofing installed on your facility. Here's what you need to know about planning for the inevitable—roof repairs or a complete roof replacement.
Delivery of Roofing Materials
Roofing materials will need to be delivered to your facility and, depending on the size of your roof and the type of roofing material that is used, this may take up a large amount of space. A large flat-bed trailer will be used to deliver roofing materials to your property, and a crane will be used to hoist the materials onto the roof.
If the area around your property is narrow, such as if your facility is located in an urban area, you may need to plan for help from the local law enforcement or a flag crew in directing traffic. To do this, you'll need to call your local municipal offices to ask if there are any regulations you need to be aware, such as restricted delivery times or requirements for advanced notification.
Parking for Your Employees
If this will take up parking space for your employees, you'll need to plan for the displacement of their parking. Perhaps there is a neighboring business that you can network with to share parking spaces for these types of situations. Alternatively, perhaps there is another parking lot further away that will allow your employees to park temporarily whenever emergency situations come up. If so, you'll need to arrange for a transportation service to shuttle your employees back and forth.
Weight Limitations of the Roofing Structure
Often, the roofing contractors will have the crane hoist the materials to the roof on large pallets. Since doing this will mean that a large weight is centrally located on your roof, it's a good idea to already know the weight capacity and limitations of your roofing structure before any repairs or replacements are necessary. This can be done by hiring a structural engineer to determine what the weight load is of the roofing structure. That way, you won't waste precious time in the future should the roofing need immediate attention. Contact a business, such as East Texas Roof Works & Sheet Metal LLC., for more information.

Behringer Eurolive B212XL 800-Watt 2-Way PA Speaker System - Built to go on the road. 2 like new B212XLs in the original boxes used for a temporary home theater set up - $210 for both. I picked them up while waiting for my stuff to be delivered and used them a few months in the house. From the manufacturer: High-power 2-way PA sound reinforcement speaker system for live and playback applications (200 Watts Continuous / 800 Watts Peak Power) Ultra-compact and lightweight system delivers excellent sound even at extreme sound pressure levels Extremely powerful 12'' long-excursion driver provides incredibly deep bass and acoustic power State-of-the-art 1.75'' titanium-diaphragm compression driver for exceptional high-frequency reproduction Ultra-wide dispersion, large-format exponential horn Overload-protection circuitry ensures optimal HF driver protection Versatile trapezoidal enclosure design allows different positioning: - Stand mounting with 35-mm pole socket - Tilts on its side for use as a floor monitor Ergonomically shaped handles for easy carrying and setup 2 professional speaker connectors plus ¼'' jack connectors High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany Even Better Than Before These loudspeakers take everything musicians love about the original B212 loudspeakers and upgrade them with the same bass and treble/mid transducers found in our wildly popular B212A passive version for even better sound and power handling. And with integrated overload protection circuitry, they arrive ready to push it to the limit without putting their high or low frequency drivers in danger. Triumphant Transducers Every stitch of these loudspeakers is built to deliver, but the fact is that their transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part you actually hear. While some manufacturers are okay with putting off-the-shelf transducers in their boxes, we custom-design and build ours from scratch. Not only do we wind our own voice coils, we grow the trees that are processed into the paper pulp that becomes the cones. We even machine the frames and backplates. BEHRINGER's quality is truly under control. Big Sound, Lightweight, Low Price Big here, small there, lots of this, light on that - everyone's got their preferences, but the EUROLIVE B212XL has proportions we can all agree upon. These loudspeakers pack a clean, punchy wallop (and can handle up to 800 Watts), they are easy to lift by their recessed handles (24 lbs) and are available at insanely low prices. Who wouldn't want to hook up with one of these beauties? Get on the Stick...or Get on Down The B212XL is perfect either as part of a PA system or as an onstage monitor. If the situation calls for a PA, mount the speakers on stands via the 35mm pole socket. From there, send a line from the MAIN OUT of a mixer (such as a XENYX 1202FX) to a power amplifier (like the EUROPOWER EP1500). Finally, attach a B212XL to each of the amp's outputs. These loudspeakers have inputs for both professional speaker cable and ¼" cable. Because they have two parallel inputs, you can connect up to two of them to any channel on a power amp. But these loudspeakers don't have to be confined to an upright position. Just lay them on their sides for use as a floor monitor. You'll find that they tilt to the ideal angle for onstage monitor wedge applications. They also make swiveling wall-mount brackets for the B212XL.

Connecting Sub to Amp: LFE vs RCA
HenrikTJ posted a topic in SubwoofersHi! I've recently added a klipsch sub (r-115sw) to my home audio system, and I was wondering wether to plug my sub and amp though LFE or a RCA Y-splitter. I mainly use my system for music and in regards to that, i've heard differing statements. Some say LFE is the best option for movies and RCA the best option for music. Others even say that for an untrained ear like mine, I wouldn't even notice the difference between LFE and RCA. So what i'm asking is, if my main use for my system is listening to music, should I connect my sub and amp through LFE or RCA? If any of you have any suggestions as to what cable would be good/compatible with my sub, I would be grateful. Thanks!

FS Crown XLS2002 and custom subwoofer
Kalifornian posted a topic in Garage SaleThe wife is tired of my insanity. My Belles are up for sale and so is my DIY subwoofer and amp. The amp is about 3 months old (Crown XLS2002) and the subwoofer box is about the same. The two Dayton HF15 drivers are about a year old. It all works swimmingly and will melt your eyeballs and earholes. I'm asking $500 for everything. The crown amp is $500 new, the drivers are $172 a piece new. If you just want the drivers and the amp I can ditch the box. I'm in Northern CA. Would prefer local pickup but am willing to discuss shipping.

Help Setting up Sub
andr3w1sh posted a topic in SubwoofersHello Community, I have the sw-450 subwoofer and we just moved in to a new place so it's time to setup and recal everything, and I'm at a loss for the sub setup. My receiver has an auto-setup function with a listener mic, but how should I set the nobs on the sub? Should I be bypassing? Volume? I've seen a lot of mixed information, and I've even seen the "just experiment until it sounds good" suggestion. Can anyone give me a definitive answer? The rest of my setup is from the Icon series, so kf-28's in the front, ks-14's surround, kc-25 center channel. Pioneer Elite vsx-40 receiver. Thanks!
PSA Triax
Ron E posted a topic in SubwoofersI received the Triax sub today. I have calibrated it with the 4520, and it sounds great! I bumped up the bass on the sub from -8 to 0, and now when I watch TV shows I can hear the bass on them too. I never realized that tv shows had bass too, especially as to how deep they go... I have my La Scalas set to crossover @ 80, and the sub to crossover @120. The Denon required me to set the sub level to -8, so I let it and then raised it up to 0 when I was finished. When the Denon was @ -8 it sounded real good but now it sounds great! Boy, what a change this is from listening to the old KLH for 10 years! The bass is very deep and powerful! The first movie I put on was WWZ. I was not able to crank it up as everyone was home, but @ -20 it was sounding pretty good. My next movie up (for demo) was Tron... The bass on it is unreal, and that was @ -20 also! I also received my minidsp mic today, so hopefully I can run REW in the next few days and see how it looks. I only have 1 place that the sub can go currently so not much I can do about getting it flat, but someday I will have a garage converted to a HT, and then I will be able to do the sub crawl and get the sub optimized. All I can say is that even with a non room optimized sub it still sounds great! If you can get up the scratch to afford this sub you will not be disappointed!
Sub for Jubilee's
Md5150 posted a topic in SubwoofersLooking for alittle help on what subs I should get that will go best with my Jubilee's for music. I went and listened to a table tuba with a 8' sub today and it sounded kinda flabby. It seemed more of a movie sub than music. The bigger version with the 15' might be another story or just more of what I heard. I want a sub that has fast- tight kick drum bass and I'm willing to give up alittle bottom end for better chest thump. Right now I am considering these: Tuba THT low profile. Danley dts-10 Danely spud JTR Orbit shifter Will consider any other DIY builds that might do the job. Appreciate any advise. Thanks, Mike.
Do SVS subs ever go on sale?
AccessDenied posted a topic in SubwoofersI'm not expecting any specific answers here, just a general inquiry if members here are aware of SVS sales, such as BlackFriday/Holiday sales...? I'm looking to buy the PB-1000, I realize for some people here $500 is pocket change and they'd say, "Just buy the thing already!". But for me, that's a considerable purchase and if I could wait a few months and save $100 or so it's something to think about. I figure it's a company that kinda sticks to it's prices? I know there is an outlet section, but the PB-1000 rarely is for sale in there, which is a good sign in my opinion. So, is anyone aware of SVS sales on their own site? I say that because I know they will go up on sale in B&M stores near me, but that voids the Bill of Rights that SVS provides. I want that 45-day trial, and the 1 year trade in offer, and the 5 year warranty. SVS reps tell me none of that applies (perhaps the 5 year warranty is still valid) if I purchase from a retailer. They set their own policies and don't have to adhere to anything SVS suggests. Thanks all!
SW-12 SW-12 Hum and or Buzz
DVDMike posted a topic in SubwoofersI've got an old SW-12 that I've had out of service for many years. I'm trying to get it to function properly again. I plug it in and I hear a humming or buzzing sound. It could be a 60HZ sound but the plug that comes with the sub does not have the third ground plug. It is simply a two pronged plug. I hear the noise whenever power is going into the unit. It does not matter if there are any connections made or not. I hear the same noise with it connected to the LFE RCA on the AMP. I hear it when there is nothing connected. The volume of the noise is always the same level whether or not the volume on the sub is all the way up or all the way down or if the volume on the amp is muted or high. When you pass a LFE signal to the sub, it still makes the humm but otherwise functions properly. I get LFE frequencies that sound reasonable and all of the control knobs on the Sub appear to function properly. Is there anything that I can do to "fix" this noise other than taking it to a repair shop? What might be causing this noise? If necessary, I could mic the sub and record it and post a .wav file here.
I know nothing about subs...
AccessDenied posted a topic in SubwoofersAs the title reads: I know nothing about subs... My current setup as of yesterday - Fronts: RB-35 Center: RC-62 Surrounds: RS-52 Now, the hardest part is going to be convincing my wife that we NEED a sub... Whether this is true or not, she will not likely be receptive to spending another $300+ after I just picked up these RS-52 surrounds for $220 this week... So. Who is willing to educate me? Here is what I want to know: - Will a sub really make a difference? (my guess is yes, it will) - I can probably get away with buying a Polk PSW10 on Amazon (under $100), but is it really worth it? Better than nothing at all? - Ideally, what's the sub to help round-out my system? (I'm assuming RSW10 or RSW15 would be the suggestions?) - Assuming my budget cannot allow the two subs mentioned above ^, what's the "next best thing" - doesn't have to be Klipsch, but preferrably... More questions about subs in general: What's the typical lifespan of a sub for HT? I'm guessing most people just leave them on 24/7? Or is this something you turn on only when playing certain movies, games, albums,etc.? Do you leave the sub on when watching the news? I am happy with my current setup. I'm waiting to pick up the RS-52s this weekend so I'll get them mounted and see how that changes the sound in my room. I'm at a 5.0 setup. Moving forward I think a 5.1 would make sense. I just need to "feel" the difference, and have a little help here with justifying the purchase! Cheers all!
PB1000 or SB1000
AccessDenied posted a topic in SubwoofersOk, new thread... You've all convinced me I should get a sub. You've also convinced me I do not have entry level gear and I should work on refining my current setup once the sub is hooked up... I think I've narrowed down to either the SVS SB1000 or PB1000. I love that they offer 45-day trials on their equipment - true testament to quality? I also realize that offering such a service means you are paying for it somewhere... For those who do not need to trial the sub, they may think these subs are overpriced. I will likely buy one in the coming month or two. I know I can just pick one and if it doesn't work out I can return it and get the other one. But which should I try first? Ideally I will be happy with the first purchase and not have to return it. That will keep the buyer and seller the happiest! So, here's my breakdown: RB-35s as mains RC-62 center RS-52 surrounds The room is 19x15' with 12' vaulted gable ceilings. There is a 6' opening to the room by the kitchen and the TV sits adjacent to this wall (so on the 13' side). I'd say 50% is video games, 25% movies/shows, 25% music. If I'm missing some info to help the decision let me know. So, ported or sealed? I know there are personal preferences and I should test them out myself. And I plant to. But should one first over the other? It's like test driving a car... Do you hop right into the Turbo model or do you drive the eco first? I'm leaning towards the sealed sub based on reviews saying it's "punchier" and "cleaner". I don't want to piss off the neighbors, we just bought the house! haha. But I want to round out the sound my system is currently outputting.
Advice needed outdoor setup
jobo1234 posted a topic in General Klipsch InfoNeed some advice on how to setup outdoor speakers 2x AW-650 2x AW-400 CA-800TSW (150w 6ohm) Sony STR-DN840 (7x150w @ 6ohm) Only have the 650s hooked up right now and they sound great. Should I get a simple 2x100w amplifier to power the passive sub? Noob to home speakers so any advice or a simple typed out diagram should help.
sixes Specifications Klipsch Sixes
mousedown posted a topic in 2-Channel Home AudioHi I do not find information about the technical specifications of the Klipsch sixes, I need to know if the amplifier is class AB? What sensitivity do they have? Which sub would be the best to use with the Sixes? Is the amplifier with FET circuits? Thank's Salva
R-15PM DAC specs + Subwoofer
shrimpfriend posted a topic in Technical/ModificationsHi everyone, I'm interested in upgrading my system to R-15PM monitors with a small sub. I would like to listen to high-res audio-files mainly through my Computer/the R-15PM's integrated DAC but I can't find any information on what the dac is capable of. As the speakers will be placed in a small room, I wonder whether the R-10SW is big enough as a sub or if the R-12SW is a very big step up. Thanks in advance for your answers, Tim TL;DR: What are the specs of the R-15PM's DAC? How big is the difference between R-10 and R12 subs?
Downsizing my collection so this is up for sale. It's a 15" Klipsch woofer (I'm not sure which model) in a custom built box made of MDF and Walnut Veneer. It's ported and the box is pretty well made (made by a local carpenter). Has a very high WAF as well since it doesn't look crazy and has a nice wood grain on all sides. Also included to complete your setup, is a HSU Research Model 500 Amplifier. It's has 500 watts and can be configured to your unique set up with multiple hookup options. I do have the original box for this. In addition, I have the following crossover chips included: 34hz, 51hz, 75hz, and 62hz (not pictured as its installed in the amp). Bass on this setup is great. Very deep, low, musical with plenty of power to rock the whole house if you so desire. Amp alone was $500 and sub and box w/ sub could easily fetch $200. I'm selling the whole setup for $350. Due to size and weight of sub and box only local pickup in Santa Clara, CA (40 minutes south of San Francisco). It's also set up so you can come audition in my home. Message me your number if you are interested.
To high pass or full range?
CLhigham posted a topic in SubwoofersGreetings all, Seeking consensus regarding using a high pass or full range for my subwoofer. Two different techs at the subwoofer manufacturer garnered two different responses. McIntosh rep says high pass. Seems to me on a "common sense" level that filtering all that signal through the sub , then back to the main amp would degrade that "McIntosh sound". Thank you in advance. I don't know much but I'm learning. System: McIntosh MA5200 100 watt Heresy III speakers SBS SB-2000 500 watt, 1100 peak
RW-10d died...
bandit1305 posted a topic in SubwoofersI have done a search and am not finding much for results, but my RW-10d died the other day. I turned it on, it made a crackle and died. The fuse is blown, but the board looks fine, no blown or melted resistors. I found one post where the users had replaced the MOSFETs and stated theirs were working again, but that was almost 6 years ago and I was wondering if it was still working, or did it at least last a year or two? I know most people replace the plate amp, but that's almost half the price of a new sub and I would prefer to not do that. If it comes to that then I will just upgrade to a new one, as long as they're not having the same problems as I see many have. I contacted klipsch for advice and have yet to hear anything back from them also. And, if I can't fix it, what is comparable as a replacement?
Promedia 2.1 low volume from sub
mrwildbob posted a topic in General Klipsch InfoI have the Promedia 2.1 (the one with the power switch and transformer) system for my PC. I have had for some time now. My absolute favorite speaker. I had a couple of issues in the past that I repaired like Din plug and scratchy volume. Several months ago, I was listening to some music at a high volume. After 45 minutes, I noticed that only one speaker was working and could not hear the sub. I checked the speakers and they were fine. Opened up the sub and found a blown fuse on the HF amp. Now HF speakers work fine but the sub is very low in volume even though the adjustment on the pod is all the way up. I checked the sub and it is not blown. Measures good and tested with another audio source. Connected another sub in place and still had low volume. When I looked at the LF amp, I could see that the board was very discolored due to heat. I removed the board and found R16 and R17 to be loose. I then cleaned up the solder pads and reinstalled the resistors. I checked the fets and they seemed to be ok. I checked all the other parts for bad joints. Didn't notice any components to be damaged. I was wondering if there was a service manual for the original Promedia 2.1 (the one with the power switch and transformer)? Does anyone know why the audio would be very low? Thanks boB

Subs to go with Klipsch THX Ultra2 System?
THXUltra2Experience posted a topic in SubwoofersHi, I'm a new member to the Klipsch family and I have some sub questions. I purchased the THX Ultra2 system without the subs a few weeks ago and now I am ready to add one or two subs to the system. The Ultra2 speakers sound amazing but the old Velodyne CT-120 sub I am using just isn't up to the task. One or both subs will be placed in cabinetry with openings that are 23.75" H x 22.75" W x 22.75" D unless I can place the subs in the room without giving up too much floor space. The media room is 18' x 24' x 9.' I haven't listened to the Klipsch THX Ultra2 Subs and I was wondering if they are still considered to be great subs? Has the THX Ultra2 Subs' performance been surpassed by newer subs introduced by other companies? Do the THX Ultra2 Subs integrate with the rest of the Ultra2 system better than subs made by other manufacturers? The following subs are being considered along with the Klipsch THX Ultra2 Subs: SVS SB13-Ultra Funk Audio 18.0C JTR Captivator S1 Paradigm Prestige 1000SW Seaton Sound SubMersive HP+ Seaton Sound SubMersive F18+ The Seaton subs are too big to fit in the cabinetry but they are an interesting option. I will be able to listen to the Paradigm 1000SW at a local dealer but not the other subs.
Powered sub terminal wires wanted
teaman posted a topic in Garage SaleHi guys, not sure if anyone has any of these or if I will just succumb to making my own. I need a pair of internal sub wires. One for positive and one for negative terminal leads with female adapters on each side. Figured it was worth a try to see if anyone had a pair floating around that they didn't need. Thanks, Tim
These are $1999 new, get one local (near Columbia SC) for much less and hear before you buy too! Both are in perfect condition and used less than a year. All packaging included. I have two of these available, both received in March 2015 direct from SVS, ordered in late February 2015 direct from SVS. Order number and order email will be provided too. $1550 price is for ONE subwoofer, but you are welcome to buy BOTH for $2950 if you bring cash and drive to my home. My wife has always hated how big they are and she finally won so I bought much smaller subs that do NOT go down to 14Hz like these massive subs weighing 155lbs each. These are serious and great looking subs. If you are price shopping, note that these have the newer more powerful sledge amps, while the older ones you see on ebay have the older style amp. I can also provide a copy of the original order for warranty purposes too, there is more than 4 years remaining on the warranty (between you and SVS)! These are very high quality and can do less than 1% THD at normal volume level (100dB or less) in a well treated room and can even hit those 120dB peaks if you want them to for movies.

Testing High-Resolution Profiling Instruments for Studying Sediment Movement Near the Sea Floor
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists Chris Sherwood, Jon Borden, Joanne Ferreira, Jessie Lacy, Steve Ruane, Marinna Martini, and Amit Bohara have had fun in the sun with acoustic instrumentation this summer. First at the dock in Woods Hole, MA, then at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)'s Coastal Observatory off Martha's Vineyard, the gang tested several acoustic-profiling systems that marine geologists use to study sediment transport at and near the sea floor. Deployed were the following:
We deployed the instruments at WHOI's Coastal Observatory, mounted on a bottom-tripod frame borrowed from Peter Traykovski at WHOI. The test is part of an ongoing, joint effort between WHOI and the USGS to characterize errors in these instruments and develop calibration techniques.
Amit is a Summer Student Fellow in Oceanography at WHOI working with Chris Sherwood this summer on the calibration of the ABS. Amit is a student at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota and is originally from Nepal. The USGS' Woods Hole Field Center is designing a new low-flow-disturbance tripod frame, similar to the one shown, for near-bed high-resolution profiling.

Homeschooling and Making Family Christmas Traditions
I have been reading a lot of blog posts about how extra difficult it is to homeschool your kids during the holidays. Why? Simply because it's Christmas! It's really hard to focus, both for the homeschool parent and the child, when Christmas preparations in the house are in full swing.
"Hindi pa nakatayo ang Christmas tree!" "Hindi pa tapos ang Unit 10 lessons!" :-)
Instead of worrying about our delayed homeschool schedule, we decided to take it slow this holiday season. We are homeschoolers, right? We can be flexible with our study time so there are lots of time to catch up with our lessons. It is more important to create memories and make this season meaningful for the whole family.
Here are some of our homeschooling moments this December and we're happy to be making our family Christmas traditions at the same time.
DIY Christmas Book Ornaments
DIY Christmas Book Ornaments
We want our Christmas tree to remind us of our family highlights this year. One of our milestones for 2017 is Rio's growing love for books and reading on his own. We will always remember that we finished his first chapter book (Charlotte's Web) this year. He surprised us when he read another chapter book (The Boxcar Children ) but this time, he read it independently and narrated back the story to us.
But more than Rio's reading level, the stories that we read left so much happiness in our hearts. We will not forget how Amelia Bedelia filled our house with so much laughter. Even Lola M finds Amelia's literal take on her to-do lists as annoying but extremely funny.
Frog and Toad taught us a lot about friendship and the importance of just being there for each other – eating ice cream and cookies together.
Dong Dugong will always remind us to eat healthy and take care of the environment. We admire Adel of Ang Bonggang Bonggang Batang Beki because he was brave to confront his fears and be confident of what he likes and who he is.
We plan to make this (DIY Christmas book ornaments) our yearly tradition to remember not only the books that we have read but to always remind us of the joy that reading brings into our lives.
Parol nina Tatay at Rio
We were discussing about length in our Math lessons so measuring the bamboo sticks to be used for our parol project was a perfect opportunity for Rio to apply what he has learned.
Watch Rio giving instructions on how they plan to make the parol.
To be honest, all credit goes to our dearest Tatay. He did most, if not all, of the work to complete our first DIY parol. We hope we can plan earlier next year to make this family tradition more colorful and meaningful.
Before making the parol, we also read "Alamat ng Parol". This story is included in Rene O. Villanueva's collection of Christmas stories (12 Kuwentong Pamasko). You can get a copy from Tahanan Books' online shop.
Mga kaibigan, heto na ang aming parol!
Quotes for Rio's Ninong and Ninangs
We are starting our copywork exercises this year where Rio copies words, phrases or quotes from the story or book he read. Copywork serves as a good handwriting practice for him. It's an opportunity to pay close attention to the details of handwriting – following the lines, practicing the letters he finds hard to write ( a, d, b, s).
In our experience, copywork also gave us time to talk about capitalization, when to use punctuation marks (comma and period). Copying quotes from books we love also led us to recall the best moments of the story which helped us start discussions about the characters and more.
Rio will send one quote to each of his Ninongs and Ninangs this Christmas. We don't get to see his godparents often. Marami nga sa kanila, hindi pa nakikita si Rio mula nang bininyagan. Sad but true. May these handwritten notes from Rio also inspire us to reconnect with his godparents, also our dearest friends.
Mga momshies, what are your family holiday traditions? Share naman para mas masaya at mas memorable ang mga susunod pang Pasko.
Maligayang Pasko!

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – One of the best three-point shooting teams in the nation gave No. 25 Gonzaga a serious scare at the Leavey Center Thursday night. The host Broncos made 10 treys and led at the half before the Bulldogs managed to escape with the 81-68 win.
Santa Clara (8-10; 1-4 WCC) trailed by just six in the closing moments, getting 17 points and five 3s from senior guard Alyssa Shoji. Archbishop Mitty product Lindsay Leo provided 14 points and nine rebounds for the Broncos and Ashley Armstrong scored 12.
"Well I honestly thought we played really well and really hard," said Santa Clara head coach Jennifer Mountain, who was an All-WCC player and former assistant coach at Gonzaga. "The second half it was the offensive boards that hurt us. I thought our effort was great. I'm really proud of what we did. That is a top-25 team and the score doesn't reflect how close the game was. I think it is a turning point for us."
Gonzaga (16-3; 5-1 WCC) – ranked No. 25 in the latest ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll – was down by three in the opening stages of the second half. However, All-WCC forward Katelan Redmon came up big, scoring a game-high 32 points to lead the Zags. GU has won seven-straight WCC regular season titles.
GU started fast and led by scores of 9-2 and 18-7 but Santa Clara responded with a surge of offense, sparked by their play on the defensive end. When Ricki Radanovich connected on a 22-foot three-pointer, Santa Clara cut the deficit down to 21-19.
The momentum picked up significantly when a barrage of triples - three-straight from Armstrong, Shoji and Radanovich – accounted for a 9-0 Bronco run, tying the game at 33 five minutes prior to the intermission.
Armstrong put the Broncos up for the first time, 36-35, beating the shot-clock horn with a straight-away triple from way out. SCU would make seven 3s in the opening half and led 40-39 at halftime.
"We were doing the things we needed to do," said Shoji. "We were really trying to limit them to one shot. They have long guards who can rebound. We were doing that in the first half. We were executing and being patient."
GU's senior classmates Redmon and Kayla Standish carried the Zags as the second half began. One of Redmon's 14 baskets put GU in front 51-45, helping Gonzaga re-establish a lead of 11 with 11:51 to play.
Playing some of their most inspired basketball of the season, SCU would bounce right back, holding GU scoreless for the next three minutes, and when Meagan Fulps drove the lane and rolled in a lay up, it was 64-61 with 7:52 left.
Shoji's fifth 3 came after Redmon nailed a pull-up jumper to put GU up by nine. With 5:01 on the clock, Santa Clara trailed 70-64.
A number of opportunities to cut into GU's six-point lead just didn't happen for Santa Clara late in the game. When Jazmine Redmon went to the free throw line with 1:32 left, GU led by eight and would have enough of a cushion to hold on and win.
"Well at the two-minute mark when we were at the free throw line, it was a six-point game," said Mountain. "Missing a front end of a one-and-one was huge. Free throws make a big difference and we have to do a better job at the line. But if we play with the effort we had tonight and we play collectively as a group we will be right there (Saturday at LMU)."
Santa Clara will travel to Los Angeles Friday evening in preparation for that Saturday road game at LMU. Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Alyssa Shoji passed former teammate Lena Gipson '11 in career scoring at SCU, moving into 7th place all-time with (1,233) points … Shoji also eclipsed the 300-assist and 250 three-point field goal milestones on Thursday … SCU entered the game ranked 7th in the NCAA in 3PT% (38.8) and 9th in 3s per game (3.9) ... the game was billed as 'Alzheimer's Awareness Night' as SCU joined forces with the Alzheimer's Association to raise funds and awareness in hopes of finding a cure for the disease.

The reason Landon Collins' mom insulted son's Alabama pledge? Nick Saban
In the first week of January, Landon Collins earned national headlines. To be fair, the nation's second-ranked safety prospect probably had always planned to be in the headlines, with his performance at the 2012 Under Armour All-America Football Game turning any heads which weren't already aware of his prodigious athletic gifts. Instead, Collins found his name on the lips of practically everyone he encountered for a very different reason: His mother upstaged him on national TV, during what was supposed to be his big moment in the sun.
When the time came for Collins to decide between LSU and Alabama for his college football future, the defensive back -- who played his high school football at Geismar (La.) Dutchtown High -- chose the Crimson Tide.
As the world now knows, his mother was quite famously not entertained. She shook her head as soon as he said Alabama, and then told ESPN's Dari Nowkah that she thought LSU was a better fit for her son (if you want to jog your memory about the scene, you can watch ESPN's broadcast of it directly below). Weeks later, we now have one of the strong reasons for why April Justin (that's Landon's mother) felt so strongly about LSU: She felt disrespected by Alabama coach Nick Saban when the Crimson Tide head man visited the Collins household.
[Related: Recruiting crossovers are rare for rivals LSU and Alabama]
As reported by ESPN The Magazine's Christopher Schultz, Saban went directly into a pitch about Landon Collins' NFL prospects when he arrived in Geismar. It turns out that was not what April Justin wanted to hear; rather, she was more concerned about her son's academic future and how he would fit in on campus in Tuscaloosa.
"I think he stereotyped me," April Justin told ESPN.
In the end, those concerns about the Alabama program didn't affect Landon Collins, who gave off the sense that he had been in awe of the program since taking in the Crimson Tide-Florida game in Tuscaloosa during his junior season. Sensing his son's inclination, Collins' father -- who has long been separated from April Justin -- continued to encourage him to go with his instincts.
To be fair, once she knew he was going to pick Alabama, April Justin told her son she was going to skip the All-America game appearance because she knew she couldn't support his choice. Yet Landon pushed her, and she eventually relented and made the drive down to Orlando, arriving just hours before the game kicked off.
The rest, as the say, is history. And while it may take some serious collegiate accomplishments for Collins to relegate his awkward family moment in television history to a secondary memory when his name arises, the talented teen and mom have since reconciled, as they proved during a photo shoot for ESPN's recent piece on the commitment snafu.
"You're still my baby," April Justin says. "Always."
"That's it," Landon says, smiling. "Mom issues."

Playing host to Swedish students- XLRI, a part of an international exchange programme
Jamshedpur, Nov. 3: XLRI is abuzz with activities as this time the B-school is playing host to two students from Sweden as part of its international student exchange programme.
These students were also a part of the dandiya and Diwali celebrations.
Anna Jakobsson, an exchange student of Malardalen University, told The Telegraph: "After 14 days in India you really start to like the country and its people. Compared to Sweden, India differs in many ways, but most of it is good. It's a big challenge to attend these courses because the language and method of teaching varies. I am looking forward to learn the Indian culture and its tradition during my three months' stay at the B-school campus."
The two students, now already a part of the XLRI community, can be seen everywhere, from local markets and the cafeteria to the football field.
They are also actively participating in projects.
Niklas Larsson, a student from the same university, said, they underwent a rigorous selection procedure to participate in the programme.
"Besides learning, the basic idea of such an exchange programme is to promote cross-cultural activities. Institutes like the IIMs and XLRI are looked upon with high esteem in Sweden. Particularly XLRI is known for its world class faculty in the personnel management and industrial relations (PMIR) course," said Niklas.
He is enjoying his stay on the campus where all the students are friendly and interested to know more about their country and university.
Dean (academics) of XLRI, P. Venugopal informed, as a part of the exchange programme two students of the B-school, Khushboo Jha and Vivekdeep Gupta have been sent to Sweden in September this year, while four other students have been sent to Philippines.
The Swedish students would be exposed to various outdoor activities during their stay at the B-school campus.
Officials of the B-school informed that efforts are on to initiate similar student exchange programmes with universities in Australia.
Officials of the B-school visited Australia last month and met top authorities of Victoria University and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology for fostering a similar student exchange programme, said a source.

Recent years have brought huge amounts of discrimination against us pirates, which I reckon – YAR HAR HAR! – is partly our own fault. (Please excuse my Piratis, pronounced "pie rye tuss", it's because I'm a pirate.) As professional pirates, we always strive to do what's right for ourselves, but with a bit more heart than none at all. That's why we want you to try out being a pirate for awhile, whether it's as part of our crew, forming your own, or dressing up for what I hear them Americans call "Halloween", a day that I am only pretending to be unfamiliar with. Obviously, I go trick or treating too. It's the only time I'm taken seriously.
So suppose – AHOY HOY MATEY! – that you're a woman looking to either join or start your own pirating crew, or Per-Crü as I desperately want it to be shortened as. Being a female pirate is great, and not only because we use terms like lass (which rhymes with sass). Do you fancy yourself a sexy vixen? I'm not entirely sure I know what a vixen is, but certainly, you could dress up as one.
The red and black really go the extra mile (or as we pirates call them "sea kilometer", YAAAR!) toward making you look gorgeous and enticing. You'll love the lace, and so will the other pirates.
Wanting to show off how tall and mesmeric, or in pirate's terms, how "sassy-lassy" you are? Why not try on a pair of the Sexy Pirate Captain Boots, to really show that men need to grow a pair of ovaries if they wanna be half as independent and assertive as you are. And why not get a sexy wig or pirate thigh-high stockings to go with it?
Not feeling the sex appeal so much? (I YAR-HAR-DLY UNDERSTAND!) You could try out the Prestige Womens Angelica Costume, and look both prestigious as well as many other "ous" words with a positive pirate connotation (piracious! Piratetitious!)
One of my personal favorites is the Bonnie Blue Pirate Costume, which will literally set the seven seas ablaze. I mean that they will be set on fire. I mean that we pirates have been irresponsible with Earth's waters, but in our defense, it was all in the name of booty, and the whaling industry is the only source of oil on earth.
And if you're looking to save the seas as oppose to destroying them, the Authentic Caribbean Pirate Costume will give you the necessary fashion to complement your altruism, a word I had to look up because it has no meaning to us pirates.
Another great option, particularly for the kind of lass I dream to marry someday, is the Womens Zombie Pirate Costume. Because as you know, the most successful pirate is the one who doesn't give up, even if they accidentally trip on a sword several times or drink so much grog that they fall overboard.
If you're like me and you find you need just a bit more room in your outfits, the Plus Size Female Pirate Costume is fitting for any lass who wants to be both sexy and dangerous, lovely yet intimidating, and innocent yet worldly. You'll find the skirt sways perfectly when you step, and the white top is appealing to both pirates and non-pirates, revealing just enough to be suggestive but not so much as to be YAR-HAR I SHOULD STOP WHILE I'M AHEAD!
Suppose for a moment that you don't want to be a pirate, but rather the lady who serves us ale, grog, or grogale (half ale, half grog, half whale). The Renaissance Pirate Wench Costume is aptly titled, as you'll find people will likely refer to you as a wench and then expect a drink. The joke's on them, though, because as the server of alcohol you are, indeed, our master.
Are you anatomically male or self-identifying as such? Then we have just as good of a set of costumes for you! And by costumes, I mean pirate attire, or pirattire as I've now decided we call it. Yarrr, I'm very influential in the world of ransacking colonial towns and vessels for their booty.
A male pirate (like the famous rapper, Irate P) often considers himself to be a rogue. If this is the case for you, you might enjoy our Mens Rogue Pirate Costume. It has a bargain price fitting for a scoundrel, insofar as the quality is high and the coin you spend is low. You'll look sharp and suave, and surely, when you're threatening a passerby with your cutlass or inquiring if fellow pirates are keen for some grog, suave is precisely the word you're looking for to define yourself as.
Speaking of suave, the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow, who was not in fact a bird but rather a man, was certainly a handsome fella (YAR-HAR HE WAS GORGEOUS!) Do you fancy yourself as incredibly fashionable as that buccaneer, a word I am sure I am not using inappropriately? (English was never my strong suit, being that I live on the sea). You'll love our Captain Jack Sparrow replica beads and ring, for an authentic appeal to manliness done right. And of course, you can give the solid effort and dress as the big man in all of his coat-ey and pant-ey glory. And don't forget to try on his famous hat, which I have on good authority is as comfortable as it is stylish.
Another fantastic option for male pirates is the Authentic Caribbean Pirate Adult Costume. Complete with a jacket attached shirt and vest, boot tops, waist sash, and hat, you'll find other pirates and colonials suddenly overwhelmed with a deep admiration and respect for how you carry yourself. This is what I personally wear when I commandeer vessels or hit on the aforementioned zombie pirate women, both of which are all day, every day.
By this point, you've hopefully gotten an idea as to how you want to dress when it comes to pirating the seas or taking candy from strangers. But what about the accessories? My old-timey pirate-y friend, Long Horn The Bearded Who Had A Beard And A Hat, once told me in confidence that the best pirates acquire extra items to really make the grog taste better, the women more likely to talk to you, and the booty more bootilicious. I'm terrible at keeping secrets, being a pirate and all, so now that I've told you, allow me to explain.
If you're not wearing a hat, or you just don't like them, the Pirate Turban is the ideal choice. It also needs no explanation, being that it's a turban, a word synonymous with perfection.
The Glitter Pirate Earrings combine the morbidity of piracy as a career path with the free spirit of our marketing campaign. You'll most certainly, in my pirate opinion (pirinion), look more attractive and possess a higher degree of self-confidence.
Being bald myself (a common pirate trait, don't judge me YAR-HAR-HAR), I quite like the plentiful number of wigs we have on offer. The Fallen Angel Wig is stunning, a silver wig that shows you've fallen from grace and into a quest for ill-gotten goods. It's designed for women but you could say I am suffering from a pirate identity crisis (pirentity crisis). There's also the Pirate Captain Beard, which, like Blackbeard, the most famous of the bearded pirates, being that his name was Blackbeard, will make you look as genuine as a pirate can be.
I should also note, being lonely on the seas, that I would appreciate it if you purchased the Womens White Corset or Mens Colonial Wig. I have no preference; I'm one of them progressive pirates.
Well, it appears I've run out of time. You know, lads and lassies, there's plenty more costumes in our store. We have over 300 costumes and accessories, many of which are new. You should give in to my pirate peer-pressure (YARRR!) and look through them. And when you're all ready to go, I'll see you on the seven seas.

We know how die-hard some of you Roboteers out there are, so we thought we'd be remiss if we didn't tell you about this signed Mr Robot Jacket that you can bid on in an e-bay charity auction.
As you can see, it's been signed by the most-loved actors from the series… Christian Slater, Rami Malek, Portia Doubleday and Carly Chaikin…
Plus, Showrunner and creator Sam Esmail himself has squiggled his John Hancock, as well as Grace Gummer and Stephanie Corneliussen (who we didn't have room to include in the photo)
All you gotta do is place a bid on e-bay for over $310 (at the time of writing) Just think; the limited edition Jack Threads Mr Robot jacket alone cost $125 before those clowns drew all over it.
The charity auction for the Screen Writers Guild-AFTRA fundraiser, which helps kids get a better education, also includes other Mr Robot memorabilia is also included, like a Mr Robot Mask so you can freak your sister out like this before you kiss her!
A signed F_Society card thing, and an Official Mr Robot Privacy Protector. Imagine a condom for your laptop. No, really it's a USB-sized Anti-Snoop gadget that you place over your computer's camera to STOP THE GOVERNMENT spying on you.
Oh, the Mr Robot Jacket is a medium size, and we're guessing that's a men's medium.
Bidding closes on at 9am on Tuesday, 7th February 2017. Good luck!

J. K. Rowling's all conquering bespectacled saga announces another cash cow.
That bloody wizard, he gets everywhere. Book here, movie there, mug print, clothing line, music, figurines. For heaven's sake, J. K. Rowling is richer than the Queen! Not that I'm bitter or anything (I deny it… even if you've read my profile), but there's going to be seven of these so I might as well just brace myself.
Still, there are millions, possibly billions out their clinging on the young adolescents every scripted move, so EA has leapt in to sate collective appetites with a video game adaptation of the upcoming movie: The Goblet of Fire.
The premise behind this one sees Harry mysteriously selected as a fourth competitor in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament (adults really do read this). Each contestant in the international competition must confront a fire breathing dragon, rescue friends from the icy depths of the Black Lake and navigate the twisting mysteries of a vast, dangerous maze. Every aspect of the book/movie is said to be recreated from the Quidditch World Cup campsite to a duel with Lord Voldemort himself (jeepers).
Protagonists Harry, Ron and Hermione are all playable characters and as you can see the modelling is coming along very nicely. A new spell casting system will be introduced for Goblet of Fire which ""allows players to feel the magic for the first time as the controller shakes and reacts with every flick of the wand"" – I prefer to call that Force Feedback. A Co-op mode is also available for multiplayer.
HPATGOF (!) is scheduled to land on PS2, PSP, Xbox, GameCube, DS, Game Boy Advance and PC (basically every format that is currently profitable). There's no release date for this one yet, but I would bet a small fortune that it'll come out pretty close to the movie which reaches cinemas towards the end of the year.
You can bet I'll be right there, sleeping rough outside, waiting for this one… "not".

Rocketship Education, a nationally lauded California-based public charter school network, typically opens non-profit schools in low-income neighborhoods. By boosting college readiness and supporting English language learners, Rocketship is giving youth from low-income communities an equal chance to succeed, with an education comparable to that of youth in high-income neighborhoods.
In a unique method for interviewing teachers, Rocketship involves parents by letting a group interview potential teachers. While parents do not have the final say, their opinion holds sway. Rocketship Education is distinctive in other ways as well, especially in their dedication to involving parents in other ways as well. In a D.C. school under construction, a room for parents with computers that have Internet access is being built. Parents waiting to pick up their children can locate and apply for jobs online.
Rocketship's mission is to further the late Father Mateo Sheedy's goal of helping all children meet the basic academic requirements to attend college. Higher education is the way out of poverty, but Father Sheedy saw children in his parish ill prepared for college. While Father Sheedy died before the first Rocketship Education opened in 2006, his dream is coming alive with 16 schools, all with students who show high academic achievement.
When a school personalizes learning for each student the way Rocketship does, no child is left behind. Online learning programs, peer group projects, small group instruction and more help eliminate the gap between different types of learners. Currently, Rocketship Education schools serve Northern California, Milwaukee, Washington DC and Tennessee. While the non-profit charter school network is working to open more schools in these communities, they do not plan to enter any new states until at least a few more years. Considering that they are waiting lists at their schools, they would serve the communities better if they worked to build enough schools so that every parent can give their child a better chance of being academically prepared for college.

In this edition of The Roland Martin Show, Martin discusses the latest developments in the Tamir Rice Case. Tamir Rice's mother, Samaria Rice has called for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office to step aside and is asking for a special prosecutor to take over of the criminal investigation into her son's death.
The Georgia Legislature is likely to review a proposal that would end some special privileges Georgia police have when they shoot and kill someone and the case goes to a grand jury for possible charges.
According to AJC.com, "Georgia is the only state that allows an officer to be in the grand jury room the entire proceeding, hear all the evidence against them and close out the proceeding with a statement that can't be questioned by prosecutors or grand jurors. Prosecutors say it hinders justice in cases where there is a questionable shooting."
Pastor Jamal Bryant was booked to appear on the Daystar Christian Television Network but a company representative cancelled Bryant's appearance because of his affiliation with Min. Louis Farrakhan's Justice or Else rally. Martin called Daystar to question Joni Lamb and Marcus Lamb about them dropping Bryant's appearance. (Since the recording of Monday's edition of The Roland Martin Show Pastor Bryant has been reinvited to Daystar to discuss #BlackLivesMatter and racial reconciliation in the church.)
Plus live coverage of Bryan Stevenson's lecture at the Schomburg Center.

The No. 5 nationally ranked Brenau University Golden Tigers swimming team captured the 2015 Appalachian Swimming Conference title and Brenau head swim coach Blair Bachman won conference coach-of-the-year honors for the fourth time consecutively at the conference championship meet in Christiansburg, Virginia, on Valentine's Day.
Although there were outstanding performances by the entire team, the conference-declared "swimmer-of-the-meet" performance by sophomore All-American Courtney Hayward of Townsville, Australia, set the pace for the Brenau swimmers, who beat the defending conference champs, Wheeling Jesuit University of Wheeling, West Virginia, by 65.5 points.
The win puts the Tigers in great shape to move up in the final national coaches' poll that will be released Feb. 25 before the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championship meet in Oklahoma City the following week.

"In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths." (Proverbs 3:6 AMP)
If we would know, recognise and acknowledge the Lord in all our ways, He will direct our paths. Where, I wonder is He directing our paths to? From Psalm 16:11, we learn that it is God who shows us the path of life. The path of life is the joys of life, the peace of life… righteousness, prosperity, abundance, success, wholeness… the pleasures forevermore of life. Jesus said in John 10:10, that He has come for us to have and enjoy a full, rich and satisfying life until it overflows to others. That's the path the Lord directs us to when we acknowledge Him in all our ways.
In Luke 17:11-19, the bible records the story of ten lepers who cried out to Jesus to have mercy on them and heal them of their leprosy. They definitely had heard of Jesus and knew He had the willingness and the power to heal them, even though they were Samaritans. They acknowledged His power to heal and cried out to Him. If you do not acknowledge the power of God to make anything happen for you, you will not experience His power. It is in your place to call out to Him, do not expect that He will make things happen when you have not called out to Him. Your call out to Him is an indication of your trust in Him. The verse before our text states, "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding." (Proverbs 3:5 AMP). Some other translations read 'Trust the Lord with all your heart…'
Jesus heard the lepers cry to Him. Jesus always hears! He simply looked at them and told them to go show themselves to the priest. The custom was that the one who is healed would go to the priest, who will confirm the person was indeed healed. Jesus asked them to go to the priest without speaking any word of healing upon them or laying His hands upon them. Sometimes, the Lord gives us an instruction, but because the things that should happen before we can carry out that instruction have not yet manifested, we sit down waiting for that thing to happen first. We ought to realise that, if He asked us to do step 3, it is because He already concluded steps 1 and 2, and included them in our response to His instruction. As we move into action for step 3, steps 1 and 2 will unveil themselves. Remember Proverbs 3:5, "…do not lean unto your own understanding."
As the lepers followed the instructions of Jesus, they immediately noticed they were healed! I want to believe they got so excited and ran all the way to the priest. Their lives would never be the same again! They didn't have to suffer the pains they felt in their bodies and in their hearts anymore. They will no longer lose any body parts.
In the midst of their excitement, one of the lepers acknowledged; recognised that Jesus' instruction contained their healing. Rather than continue to the priest with the other nine, he ran back to Jesus to acknowledge; show his gratitude to Jesus for what Jesus did. When you acknowledge God (His presence) in your life, your next action is thanksgiving. If you are not thanking Him, then you have not acknowledged His presence in your life, and His hand in the situations you face, either good or bad. The bible did say that it is the will of God concerning us who belong to Christ to give God thanks in all things. Remember also, that He has instructed all things to work together for our good (Romans 8:28).
Did you ever read the book, Alibaba and the Forty Thieves? Or maybe watched the movie? To open the door to the hideout of the thieves, the password "Open Sesame"* must be said. The door immediately responds to the password and opens up. That's what acknowledging God does. Your "Thank you" to God is as "Open Sesame." Immediately, there is a response to your thank you! Your thanksgiving leads to victories and greater victories. As soon as the healed leper went to say thank you to Jesus, Jesus was moved to do more. Jesus made Him whole!
The implication of His wholeness is that even though the other nine healed lepers were free from the disease, there were indications on their bodies that they were once lepers. Not everybody would accept them! Some people would see them and run away. The stigma of once lepers, will follow them for the rest of their lives. That means they would still have hurts in their hearts because of the treatment of society on them. The grateful healed leper however, had everything that he lost restored; nothing on him to identify him as a former leper. Hallelujah!!
What are you waiting for? There is plenty wholeness waiting to be unveiled and lavished upon you. That thing you have been expecting to happen since the start of the year, may just be waiting for you to acknowledge God for the little 'seemingly' insignificant things that have happened. Therefore, acknowledge God now! Acknowledge that He has been present with you all this while. Even if you didn't hear Him speak a word to you, acknowledge He was the one who showed you what to do, or stopped you from making a devastating move, or gave you the answer you needed or gave you the simple thought… Acknowledge it was Him who saw you through 2017 till now. Acknowledge it was Him who caused the medication to be successful on you, otherwise…
Dear Reader, acknowledge it has been Jesus, acknowledge it was Jesus and say "Thank you" to Jesus. Just like "Open Sesame" that opens the doors of the treasury, watch your acknowledgment and thank you open new and greater doors even in the last days of this year, and watch it, like riding on a flying carpet, swoop you triumphantly into your waiting palace and kings in 2018.
*Open Sesame actually means something that unfailingly brings about a desired end. Its synonyms are gateway, key, passport, secret, ticket.
I pray that you will acknowledge the presence of God in the small things and the big things in your life. I pray that you will recognise His hand in your life and thank Him always even when it does not look like anything to thank Him for. I pray that you will experience greater testimonies in your life as you thank Him, because thanksgiving leads to greater testimonies. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray, Amen!! Let the acknowledgement begin!! Have an amazing week!

Subscribe To Juliette Lewis To Star In Blood Or Water Updates
I've already subscribed
You know what I think is depressing? For as much time as I spend watching trailers, I can't remember the last time Juliette Lewis was predominately featured or at least had a line of dialogue. Though she has multiple titles on her resume that show off just how good she can be, she's largely been relegated to the background in recent years. Part of it could be that in 2007 and 2008 she didn't make any films, but now it looks like she's finally back and now, according to Variety, she'll be headlining her next film.
Juliette Lewis is now set to star in Blood or Water, a new thriller from writer/director Justin Molotnikov. The feature will be Molotnikov's first since his 2009 feature film debut Crying With Laughter. The trade doesn't provide a plot or character description, but Lewis will be co-starring with Stephen McCole, Greta Scacchi, Kate Dickie and Gary Lewis. The project is being produced by LevelK, a Danish film company, and Molotnikov and Claire Mundell's Synchronicity. The production will be shooting in Scotland at the start of 2012.
Lewis is also set to star in the 2012 television series The Firm, based on the John Grisham novel, so with any luck we're going to be seeing even more of her in the near future. As good as it was to see her in one scene of last year's Due Date, it's time for her to start making more movies where her appearance is more than a glorified cameo.
