Martin's recovery on target for Notre Dame
BOB WIENEKE
Various draft experts have projected former Notre Dame offensive tackle Zack Martin to be selected somewhere in the middle of the first round when the NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night in New York City.
And how does Nick Martin, Zack's younger brother, view those projections?
"To me it's Zack. It's my brother," Nick, Notre Dame's starting center, said. "It's one of those things, I don't see it any differently. We're excited and just kind of waiting to see where he's going to go."
Nick Martin appears to be ready to go after missing spring practice because of a knee injury suffered late last season.
Martin, who spoke Sunday while at a team charity event, said he's been running.
"I feel good. I feel great," said the 6-foot-5, 295-pound Martin, who will be a senior in the fall but retains two seasons of eligibility. "I'll be back full bore ready to go."
First, though, is the draft, which begins with the first round on Thursday and then follows with two more days of selections.
"We're just ready, ready to find out where he's going to go," Nick Martin said, "and we're excited and can't wait."

As I've talked about in previous articles, maybe too much, I was incredibly shy growing up. I hated it, and constantly tried to be more outgoing. It never worked. Until recently.
I am in my junior year of college, and I have noticed that since I started college I have really blossomed. I have started talking more, even to strangers. I have started doing things I never would've done in high school. I have also started making more friends, especially people I would've never thought of being friends with in the past.
The reason for my writing this article is because coming out of your shell feels amazing. I feel like a whole new person, and I don't even think the friends I have now would recognize the girl I used to be. I think this is mostly a lesson in confidence. When I was younger, I cared a whole lot about what people thought of me. I was worried about whether or not people were looking at me in the hallway, if they thought my outfit was weird, or if I had anything in my teeth. I worried about what I said before I said, and was scared that people would think I was stupid if I said anything weird.
The truth is, I don't worry about anything like that anymore. I used to try to be liked by everyone, but now I know that in order to make an impact on this world and the people around me, not everyone is going to like me. I still try to be kind as possible, but I also am sticking up for myself and what I believe in. I do not let people push me around the way I used to, and I follow my heart in everything I do.
I am writing this for the "shy" young girl who desperately wishes to be heard and to be noticed. I am writing this to tell you that you can be whatever you want to be in this world. If you want to be more outgoing, you are the only person who can do it for yourself. You have a whole life ahead of you, and it is up to you to make it what you want it to be.
So go, I implore you to come out of your shell! Talk to people everywhere you go and let people talk to you as well.
I am no longer scared of people knocking down my walls and learning about who I am. I am proud of myself as a person, and I want people to know. I am evolving and changing, and you can too!

Isaiah 61:3 "to give unto them beauty for ashes…that He might be glorified."
We were gathered around the table for another afternoon of UNO. Certainly one of the highlights of my week. Uno with my special, senior friends at the nearby assisted living complex. Sally played cards that afternoon which was nice because it has been quite a while since she has wanted to join us. After she pulled up to the table, she looked around at the group and asked everyone, "So, where do you live?" The other ladies were confused – because they all live there. Together. Sally played cards like a pro but spent much of our time together trying to resolve not only where she lived, but also how she got to this place and how she could get back to where she lived. Wherever that might be.
It makes me happy that Sally has such a nice place to live and people to look after her. I saw her yesterday and whether or not she is still wondering about her address, she also seemed happy. But I continued to think about her questions. How often have I wasted time and mental energy wondering not only how I "got here" (to this certain stage or time in life) but also dreaming of how to return to a previous time or place?
I love memories. I love to recall stories – to hear the same family favorite that never fails to make us laugh til we cry. But whatever the past holds – beautiful moments, hard lessons, deep regrets, or sheer joy – it is, quite simply, the past. All of it shapes us and has helped to bring us to where we are right now. There is also much that is exciting, and humbling, about the future. The possibilities that it offers. But, truth be told, the present is where we are.
I need to invest the majority of my time, my efforts, my energy (mental and otherwise) in today. The present is where I am and I am grateful and blessed for this time. This day and this stage of my life.
STOP – the end of my first FMF for this year. And it is already February. If you read my previous post you would know my difficulties getting my blog going this year. I'm pressing on. My first response to today's prompt of "where" was to think – where are my pictures?? First I had poster size pictures with each post. Now, no picture shows on my home page with each new post. Grrr. And, I have no idea what I am doing to change that. But I will continue to write:) And am grateful to join the FMF community again!
Lovely, loving, and respectful essay. Bravo.
by puking on my togs.
and so we took them in.
as they see me as kin.
the kindness I've been fed.
in truth, they have rescued me.
Jennifer, this is such a good post. We do need to live in each moment, and not be worried about what's already been, or what may be, or anything else. This idea kind of ties in to my One Word for this year. Thanks for the reminder to keep my focus in the right place!
Hi! I'm Jennifer and I am glad you found your way to my blog. I am a wife, mom to two adult children and, as well, a mom forever marked by grief. You can read a bit of our youngest son's story at the page above: "Could It Be Any Worse?" My desire is to live each day with purpose... in whatever stage of life. My prayer is this blog will encourage other women to do so as well.


When it comes to comfortable transportation, both compact and midsize vehicles offer maneuverable dimensions and good fuel economy. The best options also deliver excellent technology and impressive interior space. In this 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Mazda3 comparison, we are going to look at two vehicles that offer drivers an engaging and practical commuting option. The 2017 Honda Accord is available in sedan or coupe body styles, but for this comparison we are going to focus on the sedan model in the Sport trim level. The 2017 Mazda3 is available in sedan or hatchback body style and we will focus on the elite Grand Touring sedan model. These two trims and models are relatively close in price.
Some differences between these two vehicles will simply be related to their size. The 2017 Honda Accord Sport offers 15.8 cubic feet of space in its trunk, which is significantly more than the 12.4 cubic feet available in the 2017 Mazda3 Grand Touring. Drivers looking for generous cargo and passenger space in their daily lives may prefer the Honda sedan.
The 2017 Honda Accord Sport also offers more power in this 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Mazda3 comparison. Its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 189 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in the 2017 Mazda3 Grand Touring has just 184 horsepower, and a slight advantage of 185 pound-feet of torque. Both of these vehicles offer comfortable and engaging driving for commuters and small families alike.
When it comes to technology, these two sedans come neck-in-neck. The 2017 Honda Accord Sport sedan is available with the Honda Sensing suite of safety features, while the 2017 Mazda3 Grand Touring comes standard with the Mazda i-Activesense driver assistance system. The Honda sedan comes with a 7.7-inch infotainment display, while the touchscreen on the 2017 Mazda3 Grand Touring sedan is seven inches. The 2017 Honda Accord Sport features two 12-volt DC power outlets and standard LED taillights, while the Mazda option has just one such power outlet and optional LED rear lighting.
The 2017 Mazda3 Grand Touring sedan is the top-of-the-line model, which means that it comes with many interior features that are a step above a standard model. However, the 2017 Honda Accord Sport sedan also comes standard with comfort features like dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a powered driver's seat.
We like the 2017 Honda Accord Sport for its spacious interior and convenient technology. To learn more, or to test drive the 2017 Honda Accord in Oklahoma City OK, contact a member of the Battison Honda sales team.

Jesse Connors, founder and CEO of TrueLife.org, grew up in a loving Christian family (coming to know the Lord at the age of six) and had an overwhelming urgency to share the Gospel with the lost even from his youth. He completed his undergraduate studies at Liberty University, where he earned his Bachelor's of Science in Communications with specializations in Media Management, Graphic Design, and Public Relations.
While working with Dr. Jerry Falwell as a spokesman for Liberty, Jesse got to write scripts with Dr. Falwell. "We traded emails and he always had great words of wisdom for me," says Jesse. "He believed in me. He believed in God through me, and he put me on stage to speak for Liberty."
One afternoon, Jesse was on the phone with him working on a script, and Dr. Falwell was asking how things were going. "Little did I know he had about ten other directors of Liberty there, and I was jubilant and energetic, reading my script. Later after hanging up, I found out that someone there said, 'Whoa, that guy is crazy! He's got way too much energy!' But Dr. Falwell said, 'You better be careful what you say, because people like that can change the world.' For Doc to say that about me was extremely humbling, because I know that I can't do anything without Christ, and that anything I do accomplish is only by His grace and strength. Doc merely saw God's willpower in me to complete a great task, and that served as an encouragement to me for ten years during a rigorous start-up period."
"It was soon after a speech where I was speaking in front of 50,000 people at Creation Fest 2003 that the Holy Spirit helped me realize that these 50,000 people were going to go out into a world that was going to ask them questions and test their faith, and the mountain-top experience would quickly come to an end. And in that moment, that's when God answered a life-long prayer to do something different and unique for Christ. I received a clear picture of what God wanted and it incorporated a website with video answers on it that could bring people to church and help evangelism. It didn't have a name yet, and having any videos on the Internet was incredibly rare at that time, but I knew it was what God wanted." Right after Creation Fest, Jesse shared the vision God had given him with his close friends, and they collectively thought the name Start Living would work well because they already had a website under that title.
"When I was on the road for Liberty speaking at a Michael W. Smith concert, I met people who worked at the White House, and working there had always been a dream for me... I really love our country! I was committed to making that change so that I could make a positive impact on America." Jesse and Dr. Falwell had kept in touch, and Doc gave Jesse his blessing to go to Washington DC, where he — through great persistence — was able to work as an intern in the White House in the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives during the Bush administration, trying to create an equal-level playing field for non-profit organizations.
"The first thing I said to The President was, 'It's an honor to meet you, Mr. President, but I would consider it a greater honor if I could meet one of your daughters!" He laughed and we started talking and got some pictures. It was during that time period there that I really learned more about non-profits."
Following his internship at the White House, a position opened up at FOX News (where Jesse had always wanted to work) and he quickly accepted the job. He worked with well-known media figures such as Brit Hume, Greta van Sustern, Bill O'Reilly, and the late Tony Snow. Jesse also got to know Senator McCain, Joe Leiberman, Oliver North, and many others, as they were regular guests.
Soon after he was acclimated with FOX, Jesse was offered a position working for the US Congress. His plea to the Lord throughout this time in DC was, "Please Lord, before I go into full-time ministry, let me do everything I've wanted to do in the secular world so that I can learn what you want me to know for the future ministry You have for me!"
God was obviously faithful with this request, opening incredible doors for him to get an insider perspective on how our country and the media is run. "I was surrounded by some of the most powerful people in the world, and I realized they were just dedicated individuals, and if I could put as much effort and energy into my work for the Lord as they're doing for the world, I knew God could use me to make a significant impact for the economy of God's kingdom."
In May of 2003, while Jesse was still working for Congress, he went to One Day, which was a Passion event in Texas. While there, he was on the field with his friend and mentor, JJ Jordan (a top-gun fighter pilot in the US Navy and a high-ranking officer working in the Pentagon), along with the rest of a college-aged group of believers.
Throughout the three-day event they worshiped the Lord together, and it wasn't until Jesse was on the plane ride home that God gave him the go-ahead to make arrangements to be in full-time ministry.
He and JJ both received very special confirmation from the Lord on the directions He wanted them to go. For JJ, that meant training missionary teams to go into undisclosed locations. For Jesse, it meant going to seminary in full-time preparation for what is now known as TrueLife.org, which became the official name on January 12, 2004.
"I remember the first time that I thought of the name of True Life at 2am, I was thinking the website would have to be taken. Well, as it turns out TrueLife.org was being sold by a domain reseller. I talked to them, told them what I wanted to do, and they loved the idea and lowered the price enough for me to buy it. I remember running up and down the stairs at my parent's house screaming, 'I just bought TrueLife.org! I just bought TrueLife.org! Thank you Lord! Thank you Jesus! Let it always praise you!' I must have run up and down the stairs four times while my parents were sitting on the couch looking at me. They really thought I had lost it but I was certain that TrueLife.org was going to be used by God for a mighty work!"
Soon afterwards, Jesse enrolled in Southern Seminary to begin his postgraduate education, working in their media department alongside his studies. While there, he assembled a team of about ten volunteers to begin TrueLife.org. This helped with some foundational work. "I later transferred to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary because it was closer to home." While there, he worked as a waiter at Applebee's. "Studying Greek and waiting on tables is awfully challenging," he laughs. "I was blessed to later be able to work with the media team at Southeastern."
In 2005, Jesse moved from his job as a waiter and working with the media team to working for a retirement community called Abbotswood at Stonehenge in Raleigh, NC. "I stayed at this retirement community longer than I thought I would, but God taught me more about life there than anywhere else I had worked. I learned the brevity of life, because I was around death all the time. I adored the residents; they were some of my best friends and greatest encouragers, but every night I was in charge of security, and often times I would find my friends fallen with a broken hip, bloodied by the counter they hit on the way down. I would hold their hands until emergency help would arrive. These were people I knew and loved. I remember being in tears with their families, knowing the whole time that life is but a vapor."
Jesse shared one of many stories from Abbotswood, recounting how he was able to lead a man to the Lord even as he was dying of a seizure. He'd urged the man to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and receive forgiveness for his sins (he was one of the first jet pilots for the US Air Force during WWII). "I told him to squeeze my hand one time if he accepted Jesus, and he squeezed my hand like this," says Jesse, squeezing my wrist. "He had a tear coming down his face, and I knew that God was restoring him then."
During his last year at Southeastern (while still working at Abbotswood), Jesse had launched the first TrueLife.org website featuring a video responding to the film, The Da Vinci Code, based on the novel by Dan Brown. "It was the first break for us," says Jesse. "We were able to film Oxford scholar Dr. Michael Green and popular New Testament scholar Dr. Andreas Köstenberger." Having these two respected professors helped Jesse to recruit other scholars for future videos.
Jesse graduated from Southeastern in December of 2007 with a Masters of Divinity in Christian Apologetics and Biblical Languages. "After seminary was over, I worked on TrueLife relentlessly. In the morning I would start and then begin work from four to twelve at Abbotswood and then when the residents went to sleep, I would go back to editing video and preparing TrueLife.org. God was really using that time in my life to help prepare me for the future. They were very formative years for me. I knew they were important, but I didn't understand how much those lessons would help me with TrueLife."
"I never thought that I'd be at Abbotswood for three more years, but the developmental period in my heart and life needed that time. I experienced immense spiritual warfare, and if you ever want more details on that, I can tell you, but to sum it up, there were times when my 'Barnabas,' named Don Smith, looked at me and started laughing and celebrating the future because we knew if Satan was going to hit this hard, it meant that God had a bright, bright future in store for TrueLife. It was amazing how even at that moment, God was able to bring such encouragement."
In 2010, Jesse was very excited to be working with a notable figure. He was featured in a number of our videos. "I'm not really sure exactly what happened, but I knew that because of the circumstances we would have to take down some of our videos that were almost the backbone of our site at the time. This was a major setback for me personally. I thought the website was really going to take off because he was so well-known." Fortunately, God worked the situation out for good by providing other prominent Christian leaders to take his place in some of the TrueLife.org videos. "I went first to Dr. Danny Akin (President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) and then to Jonathan Falwell (Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church), told them what happened, and they agreed to help us out."
After post-production of their videos were finished Jesse began marketing TrueLife.org, and the Baptist Press did a story on the website. This propelled Jesse to finally be able to leave Abbotswood and officially begin the TrueLife.org journey.

Women Are Talking About The Tough Side Effects Of Pregnancy That Are Skipped Over In Movies, And Wow, Women Are Unbelievably Strong
"Growing a human is tiring."
by Simrin Singh
Having a baby is no easy feat. There are often huge changes to the body, negative impacts on mental health, and major shifts in lifestyle, not to mention having to care for a whole new human being.
CBC Television
To make matters worse, a lot of these symptoms are often overlooked in mainstream media. So when Reddit user u/-tjeaton- asked women to share the realities of pregnancy that are not represented in movies, they had a lot to share. Here are some of the most enlightening responses:
1. "In movies, they always show mothers with a huge grin on their face when they first see their baby. In real life, new mothers aren't always head over heels to meet their baby. Not everyone feels like it's the happiest they've ever been in their life."

—u/MissInfer
2. "They never show how much pregnancy messes with your body. You can lose your hair and get gestational diabetes."
—u/anon-nsfw-504
3. "They never show how you can get depression and anxiety before the baby is even born."
—u/Ahnamal
4. "They never discuss how you can develop food intolerances. After my second pregnancy, I became lactose intolerant. After my third, I became wheat intolerant."
Realpeoplegroup / Getty Images
—u/idgaf-about-a-name
5. "They never show how hard breastfeeding can be for some women. It's not always as easy as sticking the baby on the boob after delivery. It is a real skill and can be hard to learn and doesn't always work for everyone, despite best intentions."
—u/DrVerryBerry
6. "They never show how dismissive doctors can impact you. A few weeks after my first birth, I started hemorrhaging. The doctor told me that I must've forgotten what a period was. After doing an actual examination, he said, 'Oh, I guess you weren't lying,' and I ended up needing emergency surgery."
—u/Ok_Individual9340
7. "In movies, they always show that the bump goes away right after birth. It doesn't. It can take days, weeks, or even months for the bump to disappear, and the majority of women have loose skin and stretch marks after."
Adene Sanchez / Getty Images
—u/loalenatrice
8. "In movies, they show morning sickness, cravings, back pain, and waddling. They never show the pregnant character with the worst acne of her life or the one who can barely walk because her pelvis is literally splitting into thirds."
—u/Cdmelty1
9. "They never show how you can experience receding gums and rotting teeth from pregnancy."
—u/budgetbears
10. "They never talk about the permanent changes we experience. When I was pregnant, I had to go up a shoe size and start wearing glasses."

11. "They never show how clinical giving birth is. My first birth was in a hospital where they treated me like I was a horribly sick person. I was not allowed out of my bed, I wasn't allowed food or drink, and I wasn't allowed any birthing tools, like a bouncing ball."

OKLAHOMA CITY (Legal Newsline) - Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt this week filed his own lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency, challenging a proposed rule that would extend the federal agency's authority to all bodies of water.
Pruitt, in his complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma Wednesday, alleges that the EPA's broad redefinition under the "Waters of the United States" rule is executive overreach and flatly contrary to the will of Congress.
Under the proposed rule, the agency's authority would extend to almost all bodies of water, no matter the size or frequency.
"This regulation usurps the State's authority over its land and water use, and triggers numerous and costly obligations under the [Clean Water] Act for the State and its citizens," the attorney general wrote in his 24-page complaint.
The lawsuit alleges that the proposed rule places virtually all land and water under an "untenable" regulatory burden.
The EPA's regulatory jurisdiction has historically been limited to the "navigable waters" -- a term that has always been understood to include only large bodies of water capable of serving as pathways for interstate commerce, Pruitt argues.
The attorney general contends "this expansion of federal authority" is in direct conflict with the Clean Water Act, exceeds the government's authority under the Commerce Clause and violates the Administrative Case Procedure Act.
Pruitt is seeking an order vacating the final rule and enjoining its enforcement.
"Respect for private property rights have allowed our nation to thrive, but with the recently finalized rule, farmers, ranchers, developers, industry and individual property owners will now be subject to the unpredictable, unsound and often byzantine regulatory regime of the EPA," he said in a statement.
Click here to read Pruitt's entire complaint.
Late last month, two groups of state attorneys general filed separate lawsuits against the EPA over the proposed water rule in a Georgia federal court and North Dakota federal court.

Johanna Margarete Sultan (Grete Sultan) was born in Berlin, Germany on June 21, 1906. Her musical family included two aunts who had studied with Clara Schumann, and important musicians such as Richard Strauss, Artur Schnabel and Ferruccio Busoni were regular visitors to her childhood home. Her piano studies were at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik with Leonid Kreutzer, and she later studied privately with Edwin Fischer.
Sultan's early concert career was greatly curtailed by Adolf Hitler's prohibitions against Jewish musicians. Through her childhood acquaintance Richard Buhlig, she was able to escape to the United States in 1941. Buhlig had also introduced her to the composer Henry Cowell, and Sultan was to continue to be an advocate of contemporary music throughout her life.
Sultan held teaching positions at Vassar College, the 92nd Street Y in New York, and at the Masters' School in Dobbs Ferry, NY.
Sultan was closely identified with the composer John Cage, whom she also met through Richard Buhlig in 1945. Cage's Etudes Australes were written for her, and she promoted music by other contemporary such as Earle Brown, Stefan Wolpe, Alan Hovhaness, Ben Weber and Christian Wolff. Sultan was also acclaimed as a Bach player, particularly in the Goldberg Variations, which she performed throughout her life. Grete Sultan died in New York on June 26, 2005.
IPAM's Sultan Collection contains various concert programs documenting her repertoire and performing activity, as well as materials relating to John Cage and his piano works.


Capital expenditures are integral to the operations of most manufacturing companies, which must regularly upgrade physical assets or acquire new ones in order to remain competitive. These assets may include machinery and equipment, plant and property, and industrial buildings and warehouses.
Investments like these, of course, can be expensive, which makes strategic CAPEX planning critical for most manufacturers. Without a detailed, long-range plan for allocating their CAPEX budgets, manufacturers can get caught in a squeeze—needing new equipment, for example, but not having a blueprint in place for how they will acquire, use and pay for it.
§ What specific physical assets will be bought and when they will be purchased.
§ The specific uses of these assets.
§ The benefits to be incurred from acquiring the assets.
§ The expected ROI and/or payback period for the assets.
Since the recession took hold several years ago, this has been a primary objective for most manufacturers. Upgrading machinery and equipment is often the best way to lower operating costs, increase efficiency and boost profits—without having to raise prices.
Automation equipment, in particular, is especially popular in many manufacturing segments, since it enables companies to lower labor costs and increase overall employee productivity. Rather than lay these employees off, forward-thinking manufacturers are retraining and reassigning them into new tasks that have a more direct impact on the bottom line.
All physical assets break down or become obsolete eventually, regardless of how well they are maintained. This is especially true of IT equipment and computers, which depending on the industry, may have a useful life of two years or less.
A strategic CAPEX plan will anticipate which assets will wear out or become obsolete and when, and it will prioritize upgrades or replacement based on the assets' cost and importance to the business. The plan should also specify how replacement assets will be paid for. If financed internally, budgeting should start now. If financed externally, discussions should be planned with bankers or other potential financing sources before the old assets need replacing.
Often, manufacturers are informed by their existing customers that they must buy new equipment or machinery in order to accommodate changes in a product's design or other specifications. The manufacturer must then decide whether to make the CAPEX investment if the customer's volume and profit margins justify it, or be willing to say goodbye to the customer. Or, a company might have an opportunity to manufacture new products for an existing customer that requires upgraded or new machinery and equipment.
Operating in competitive markets and on thin profit margins, manufacturers should look for any and all opportunities to gain an advantage over their competitors. A CAPEX budget presents an opportunity to do just this by strategically planning future investments in new state-of-the-art machinery and equipment that will enable them to gain a competitive advantage by adding capacity, improving quality and/or enhancing innovation.
Of course, return on investment should be a critical component of your strategic CAPEX plan. ROI estimates should be based on projected margin improvements, sales growth or cost savings, or a combination of two or more of these factors. Meanwhile, a payback period of 18-36 months is a good benchmark for most manufacturing CAPEX.
A strategic CAPEX plan can be a valuable business planning and growth tool for Los Angeles and Southern California CEOs and CFOs. One source for assistance in creating a strategic CAPEX plan is an outsourced CFO services provider. Such a provider will bring expertise in all aspects of CAPEX planning, helping manufacturing companies chart a strategic course for future success.


The DVD that came with my purchase was defective and would not play. I called customer service and asked if they could send out a replacement. The gentleman I spoke with listened to my concern and then set about rectifying it. A new DVD is on the way. Very pleased with the service. Whatever they're payin' this guy isn't enough.
Thank you for our review of Revolution Golf! We are sorry to hear that your original DVDs were defective but very happy to hear our agent was able to assist quickly and efficiently. Please always feel free to let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help!
Have not received the club yet but was disappointed in the wait time to speak to a sales rep. Also not happy with being charged sales tax for the state I had item shipped to versus my state of residence. Also, the sales rep. Is strictly an order taker and does'nt know products very well.
The above were negatives but everything else was positive so far.
Thank you for your honest review of Revolution Golf. We are sorry to hear that your experience on the phone was not what you expected and it is not how we pride ourselves. We are however happy to hear that you have also had positive moments here with us at Revolution Golf. Always feel free to reach out to us with any feedback, it is what helps make us better!
Just to get this out of dealt with, if you live in Canada expect to pay about $200.00 more due to exchange rate, taxes, extra shipping costs! It has nothing to do with These guys. It's the governments!!
OK...I got it faster than I expected, which gives me time to get used to it before my golf season starts!! Thanks guys!! It is a nice feeling club. My first drive off the 1 1/2" tee was well past 215 yards! Then I got nuts and silly, and started slicing because I was way ahead of the club at contact with the ball! I got so excited by my drives!! Once I settled down a bit, It felt really good!! Off the turf, I got about 160 to 170 yards. I am relatively satisfied with this club. The 1 degree loft and rear loaded CG works well. The low profile and flatter bounce really helps off the turf! I would recommend this club for those whose swing is less than 110 MPH.
I say not bad but I think once I get used to it and stop getting so excited swinging it, things are going to be exactly what I expect! A seven iron style swing works really well with this club! A 3 or 4 wood swing off the tee works well also! Go for it!! You will be glad you did!! I am!!
Thank you very much for your great reviews of Revolution Golf! We are sorry to hear about the inconvenience of the exchange rates and fees, but we are very happy to hear that the club is working out for you! Please let us know if there is anything that we can help with in the future!
The gentleman on the phone and didn't question the reason for the return, gave me the info via an email and i returned the club.
Thank you for the review! We try to make the return process as smooth as possible. Always feel free to reach out if you need any assistance.
The representative on the phone was very helpful and the process was easy. I received my refund within 2 weeks.

Thanks so much for the positive review Tom! We are always happy to hear from a RG fan! Always feel free to let us know if there is any way that we can help!
I had a problem accessing my account because of e-mail address change. Customer support was great in walking me through their process.
Thanks so much for your review of Revolution Golf! Always feel free to reach out to customer service with any questions or concerns, the team is happy to help!
I ordered a Precision Pro - NX7 Pro NX7PRO range finder last fall. There were challenges in getting it delivered for a variety of reasons but Revolution stepped up and resolved everything for me; two thumbs up.
The range finder itself however is another issue. It takes so long to find the flag and provide a distance I could have paced it off and hit my shot before it responded; at least 10 seconds outside of 150 yards and 5 seconds inside 100. My buddies with their Bushnell's would actually walk over to me and shoot the distance before mine would respond.
Would never recommend this product to anyone. This was the first thing I bought from Revolution and based on it I don't think I could trust any other.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that customer service was able to assist you in receiving your product, but definitely not happy to hear the product is not working for you. We will send you a direct message to obtain more information to see how we can help.
I'm completely satisfied with my involvement & usage of revolutionary golf. Continue doing what you're doing!
Thank you for your review of Revolution Golf! Glad to hear you are enjoying the site, please feel free to reach out if you ever need us!
I got my questions answered and the issues resolved by a patient and knowledgeable rep. You all could make his job easier by proactively notifying Revolution Golf members of the benefits that are transferring to Golf Pass.
Not sure I'm very happy about my "lifetime" membership with RG becoming a 5 year membership with GolfPass.
Thank you for your review of Revolution Golf and for the feedback you have provided. We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with some of our changes, but we do hope the more you learn about Golfpass that you will enjoy the additional benefits that come with the change. Please always feel to reach out to customer service if you have any questions about the changes with our membership!
Most helpful with the password reset and explanation of how your system functions. Thank you for the assistance. Your requirement for 100 characters is a little over the top.
Thank you for your review of Revolution Golf. We are always happy to hear that our customer service team was able to assist. Please feel free to reach out with any future questions, that's what we're here for!
I called Customer Service at Revolution Golf as I had a concern about the recent transition of my RG+ membership to GolfPass. As a lifetime RG+ member, it wasn't clear to me that my lifetime membership would carry over to GolfPass when I logged on to explore the new features of GolfPass. The very helpful representative clearly explained that my RG+ lifetime membership would indeed carry over to GolfPass and that my confusion came about because of a software limitation in their current online membership system. He also explained that they are working to update their system. I appreciate the representative's clear explanation and I also appreciate Revolution Golf standing behind their promise to their lifetime members through the transition to GolfPass. I am guessing Justin Tupper was most likely responsible for making sure that the RG+ lifetime members were treated fairly in the transition to GolfPass and my thanks go out to Justin and the entire RG+ team. I definitely made the right decision to become a RG+ lifetime member several years ago! With access to all of the excellent videos and golf tips from some of the best instructors around, I am looking forward to enjoying my RG+ (now GolfPass) membership benefits for many years to come.
Thank you so much for your review! We are glad to have you as a lifetime member of Revolution Golf. We are always here if you need us so please feel free to reach out anytime!
I called customer service for 2 reasons: First, I mistakenly ordered golf gloves for a left-handed golfer instead of a right-handed one. The initial agent told me that the order would be changed and I would receive a confirmation email. The next day I spoke to a second agent who told me that yes the order was corrected and that I still would be receiving a confirmation email. This is day 3 and I still haven't received that confirmation email showing the corrected order? Second, I told the first agent that upon logging into Golf Pass and clicking "My Membership" it took me to a blank page. Also when logging into Golf Now there wasn't a place to enter my current id and password. The agent told me to clear my cache and the problem should be resolved. It wasn't. The second agent told me that they were aware of the problems and working on the fix. Both issues still exist today. I should have been sent an email acknowledging my calls with an approximate date for resolution and follow-up instructions.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have not gotten these issues resolved at this time. i will be sending you a direct message for more information about this.
I had questions about the new membership as it applied to me. A delightful young lady gave me my moment of clarification when she explained that I was a lifetime member. Wow did I make a good decision about 4 years ago when I chose to purchase that lifetime membership. They have some really delightful people in.Customer Support.
Thank you so much for your review of Revolution Golf and our customer support team. It's always great to hear reports of how helpful our customer support team is, we will tell them to keep up the good work. Please always feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and thank you for being a lifetime member!
I NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS AFTER WE HAD MOVED AND THE HELP I RECEIVED WAS RELEVANT AND VERY PROFESSIONAL.
Thank you for your review of Revolution Golf, we are always happy to hear great feedback about the customer service team, always feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
In a previous review, I was critical of Revolution golf for not getting my shipping address correct and arranging for the order to be sent to my billing address. This would have meant that I would not have received the product until returning Canada. A customer service representative was able to correct the situation, and I did receive my product. The Swami 5000 is a terrific product for me. Thanks Revolution Golf. You never let me down before, and I appreciate your customer service.
Thank you for your review of Revolution Golf. We are sorry to hear that we were unable to change the address on your order before shipment, unfortunately these changes are something we can never guarantee as all order information is sent to the supplier as soon as the order is placed and they are always doing their best to have orders shipped as soon as possible. Please note that all order pages do have a box that can be selected to specify a different billing and shipping address, but you are always welcome to call customer service to place any future orders as well.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but we are unable to guarantee tracking information for international orders. I will send you a direct message with more information.
I'd just like to say that my experience with Revolution Golf customer service has been outstanding. I had an issue with my login, but Kevin resolved it in no time, plus he gave me valuable tips on how to best use the site. Thanks Kevin.
Thank you so much for your Review of Revolution Golf! We are always happy to hear from our customers when they have positive interactions with our customer service team. Please let us know if there's anything else that we can help you with during your Revolution Golf experience!
This is what I wrote, "My apologies if I used the word Epic. I bought a Tour Edge XJ1 "4 wood" from you awhile back. So, I don't need 2 more Fairway Woods.
But, if you had a Tour Edge XJ1 12* Senior flex Driver I might be interested. Up to you.
NEVER GOT AN ANSWER; SAVED ME SOME MONEY BUT I STILL LOVE YOU ALL!
Thank you for the review Dell. Right now we only have the Tour Edge XJ1 driver in the bundle with the fairway woods, but keep your eyes on our Revolution Golf emails, we will be sure to send something out if we start offering the Tour Edge XJ1 driver by itself. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, we are always happy to help!
Thanks for your review of Revolution Golf, we always appreciate hearing positive feedback like this from our customers, always feel free to reach out to customer service if there's anything you need!
The purchase was very easy and I enjoy the product. I have also purchased a couple of range finders, one I returned, and both transactions were exceptional. I have enjoyed the videos and I know it has really helped me lower my scores and get more comfortable playing again in Arizona.
Thanks for the review Gary! We are always happy to hear form a satisfied customer, always feel free to reach out to us with any questions concerns and thank you for using Revolution Golf!

I was a customer of these people from the very start and bought a few of their streaming videos. A couple of years ago I bought an item which proved not as advertised (it immediately required me to make further purchases to get what I thought I was getting straight away). I applied to get my money back/cancel the order by email to customer services. No response. I even emailed there principle "Justin Tupper" who appears on the site guaranteeing everything, to no response. I tried phoning despite being in the UK and needing to phone the US. The number given did not work. I decided to cut my losses and not buy anything else from them.
My motivation for this post is that one of their products that I did use has suddenly disappeared from my account. It shows as a product that I have purchased on my account, but when I try to access I get a 404 item not found message . I contacted customer service by email and after a couple of attempts got a response asking me to try a different browser. I spent more time following this advice to no effect. I contacted again and after a few more emails got a response that the product involved a member of the staff who was no longer with Revolution Golf and had taken there intellectual property with them. Now this person had in fact left the organisation some years previous and I had continued to have access to the videos (these were stretching exercises that I use regularly). I made the point that I had bought the videos from RG and it was their problem to supply me with them. I tried another line of customer service in the chat line and hung on for 30 minutes before getting a response. Got the impression that whoever responded really couldn't deal with my query and was not part of an in house customer service group but a sub contracted service. He was polite but had to pursue the problem with "administration" and would get back to me. That was over a week ago and I have heard nothing since.
I still get emails from RG which seems to have mostly a pusher of various training aids and is laughable in the way that every product or new video set is advertised to knock 5 - 10 strokes off your game!
There are many other sites out there now which offer a more systematic approach to training which go beyond the "tip fest" of RG and which I would steer any other golf geek towards.
Thank you for your honest review Jon. We are sorry to hear about the frustrations that you have been feeling while interacting with Revolution Golf as of late. This is not what we strive for and we are hoping to look into this situation a bit further for you. Please look out for a direct message so that I can get some information from you.
Thanks for your review Mike! Kevin is one of the best we are happy to hear that he was able to help you and even made sure everything else was working smoothly. Thanks so much for using Revolution Golf!
During the Summer/fall of 2018, I no longer received Revolution Golf email tips. Did your program change & not send daily emails any more?
We still send free daily emails! Send us an email to customerservice@revolutiongolf.com and let us know what's going on and we will help get you resubscribed!
We are sorry for any inconvenience or misunderstanding, however, only GolfNow would be able to assist with any fees assessed to their tee times. This is a forum specifically for Revolution Golf inquiries.
What's the difference between Revolution Golf and Golf Pass? I have a membership to mobile Revolution Golf.
Golfpass is a premium membership that will allow you access to RG+ exclusive content as well as content from Golf Channel, GolfNow and GolfAdvisor. It is different from the Revolution Golf mobile membership as the mobile membership is strictly for access on the Revolution Golf app and is offered at a deeply discounted rate due to the limited access.

Acquisition of real estate in Spain can generate various fees for which, without careful preparation, the buyer can quickly find himself liable. Furthermore, the transaction can accrue taxes, which can be quite different for the buyer and the seller.
In Spain, banks usually finance real estate acquisitions through mortgages as well as other services. Borrowers run the risk of finding the liability for fees incurred by the appraisal of the property, notarisation of the mortgage and entry into the land registry shifted onto them.
Seeking real estate in Spain can be done by internet, with the help of a real estate consultant or through an agent. Care should be taken if using an agent, as well as in signing a contract, because agents generate fees and only notarisation can ensure acquisition in good faith.

Game of the year?
by sdmulgrave | Posted on April 2, 2013 May 3, 2016
Arts & Entertainment Editor
BioShock finally hitting shelves and exciting gamers on March 26.
One of the most anticipated games of the spring season, "BioShock Infinite," is set to release on March 26, and has the gaming world waiting with bated breath for what is bound to be one of the most well-received titles in history.
However, such high claim does not come easily.
This family of video games started in 1994 with what is now widely regarded to be a cult classic, "System Shock." This title garnered some critical acclaim at its time, but fell off of the radar as other larger titles were released through the years. In 2007, the game was rebooted in the form of a spiritual successor, "BioShock." This title took the gaming world by storm. The story line was fresh, new and inviting while simultaneously combining a mysterious and somewhat horrifying environment with critically acclaimed gameplay. The game introduced what are now iconic villains, heroes, images and gameplay elements such as Big Daddys, Little Sisters, Plasmids, the city of Rapture and the simple phrase "would you kindly?"
After receiving unbelievable and widely unexpected fame, the series went dormant for a few years at the rights to the title bounced back and forth between companies and men in suits. Eventually, in 2010, "BioShock 2" was released by 2K Marin and 2k China with help from Arkane Studios. Where the first installment of the series earned top marks and the highest awards, its predecessor only received average scores. Fans seemed to enjoy the gameplay more, but the story less, and wanted something more. "BioShock 2" was received well, but won no awards, especially not in the fashion of its big brother.
For three years, there have been whispers and rumors of what Irrational, the original producers, will do next with the series. Many fans called for a reboot, some cried sequel, while others wanted an entirely new direction and asked for a massively multiplayer online version of the franchise.
Irrational delivered by unveiling "BioShock Infinite," which is set in the time before the other two games took place. The games are in the same world, but are not related in story.
The art style is relatively the same to the other two games in the series, offering vivid colors and breathtaking environments. This time around, the setting is not the underwater, crumbling metropolis of Rapture, but the sky-high government instated city called Columbia.
Columbia is quite literally sky-high, as it is mainly suspended by giant balloons or lifted by massive blimps. The style and decorum of the city can be described as steampunk, a term that references anything and everything sci-fi and steam powered. Think industrial revolution meets Victorian America, with a science-fiction twist. This allows for a huge array of different types of weapons, gear and what are known as vigors, potion-like drinks that instill the main character with magical abilities to aid in combat and subterfuge.
"Infinite" is shaping up to be focused heavily on the two main characters: the protagonist and player controlled Booker DeWitt and the mysterious Lamb of Columbia, Elizabeth. Booker is an ex-Pinkerton agent sent to retrieve this woman from Columbia who gets mixed up in the city's civil war and political turmoil, resulting in a feud between warring factions through the city that all seek out Elizabeth for one reason or another. Elizabeth is portrayed, in the few brief trailers released, as being obscenely powerful, very independent and steeped in mystery. The plot seems to be fueled by the interaction between these two, and fanned by the fires of civil war. The action is fast paced and high-octane with many different enemy types, combatable by an even larger array of items, abilities and weapons available to Booker.
"BioShock Infinite" has already been delayed once, but seems to be right back on schedule. This game has been in production for a long time now, and is quickly shaping up to be a heavy hitter in this year's games roster. There are already fans saying it will reach Game of the Year without even trying. Keep an eye out for the buzz on "Infinite," because it has massive potential. Pick up a copy, would you kindly?

Liviu Cangeopol (n. 28 martie 1954, Iași) este un scriitor și jurnalist disident român. Din 1989, locuiește în Statele Unite ale Americii.

Biografie
Studii de filologie la Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iași, apoi de contabilitate și business administration la New York și Atlanta.

Publică primele proze în revista Dialog (august 1978), debut editorial în co-autorat cu Dan Petrescu, Ce-ar mai fi de spus (1989 — Agora, USA, 1990 — Editura Minerva, 2000, Editura Nemira).

 "Fii mulțumit, Domnule Ceaușescu: vei rămâne în istorie!", a fost titlul sub care interviul acordat de Liviu Cangeopol apărea la 5 aprilie 1988 în Libération, interviu difuzat o zi mai târziu la Europa Liberă.) Două săptămâni mai târziu a început sa fie urmărit și reținut de Securitate în nenumărate rânduri.  A emigrat în America împreună cu soția, Lidia Cangeopol, în septembrie 1989, doar cu trei luni înainte de revoluție.

 Cariera ziaristică începută la New York în octombrie 1989 (colaborări la Lumea liberă, Contrapunct, Vatra, Romanian Times, New York Magazine, Observator Cultural, Ziua, Flacăra Iașului, Tiuk etc.)."

 Îi apare un al doilea volum, publicat la Editura Humanitas în 2007, Zâmbetul, Portret al țărmului la asfințit.

 Liviu Cangeopol a fost unul din cei șapte intelectuali cărora, la 18 decembrie 2006, în discursul prilejuit de Prezentarea Raportului Comisiei Prezidențiale pentru Analiza Dictaturii Comuniste din România, președintele României, Traian Băsescu, le-a "elogiat" gestul de a se fi ridicat direct împotriva Președintelui Nicolae Ceaușescu.

 COMISIA PREZIDENȚIALĂ PENTRU ANALIZA DICTATURII COMUNISTE DIN ROMÂNIA - Pe lângă numeroase analize scurte asupra sistemului comunist și mecanismelor sale de control, Liviu Cangeopol  este coautorul, împreună cu (Dan Petrescu - n.n.), al unei radiografii excepționale a României din ultimii ani ai dictaturii ceaușiste. Textul respectiv, un dialog de lungimea unei cărți, a reprezentat la vremea respectivă cea mai radicală critică a comunismului românesc, care cerea schimbarea sistemului comunist însuși. Bazat pe informații directe și exemple luate din viața cotidiană, volumul respectiv rămâne și astăzi o sursă valoroasă pentru studiul comunismului (din Raportul final al Comisiei prezidențiale pentru analiza dictaturii comuniste din România, București 2006 - pagina 372).

 În revista Observator cultural din 23.04.2010, Liviu Cangeopol a publicat un text prin care își anunța retragerea din arena jurnalismului de opinie și, implicit, din arena publică, deoarece i se părea că, în situația actuală a României, tot ceea ce făcea era doar o luptă cu morile de vânt.

 Scriitorul și jurnalistul dizident anti-comunist Liviu Cangeopol a devenit Cetățean de onoare al Municipiului Iași, după ce în ședința de vineri, 31 ianuarie, consilierii locali au aprobat cu unanimitate de voturi un proiect de hotărâre în acest sens.

Referințe
 "Liviu Cangeopol este considerat de către majoritatea cititorilor cel mai rafinat analist politic al Exilului. Face parte din grupul rezistenților anticomuniști din Iași. Venirea sa în exil, în 1989, a produs un reviriment spectaculos al celui mai citit săptămânal Lumea Liberă, New York. Scrisul său bărbătesc, curajos, cât și incoruptibilitatea sa i-au jenat de multe ori pe ziariștii 'tranziției', pentru că, Liviu Cangeopol este omul cu o singură cale. Contribuția sa la desvoltarea RT este greu de evaluat, de aceea îi datorăm întreaga noastră gratitudine"
 Exilul exilat, dar nu numai"
"În Editoriale sau Opinii, rubrici permanente ale revistei, Liviu Cangeopol este deosebit de tranșant și critic, privind realitățile "unei țări fără viitor", pe care o boicotează "senatorii PSD-iști, secondați de marii justițiari ai lui Corneliu Vadim Tudor, de la Partidul România Mare", făcând presiuni asupra Curții Constituționale, "alt focar de mătrăguni comuniste"; în felul acesta, România este în "așteptarea unui mâine care nu va veni niciodată".

Alabama golf course rated in the nation's top 10
SYLACAUGA, Ala. — FarmLinks Golf Course at Pursell Farms is the seventh best in the nation, according to the reviewers at Golf Advisor. The popular golfer's website ranked the top 50 golf courses in the United States for 2016, and based its evaluations on architecture, course layout, history, staff friendliness, pace of play, and overall value.
"Gently sculpted out of scenic farmland that's been in the Pursell Family for three generations, the course by Hurdzan-Fry Environmental Golf Design features a mix of dramatic elevation changes, pristine fairways and immaculate greens," the course's website reads. "Here you'll be treated like family and remember what it's like to play for the pure enjoyment of the game."
FarmLinks received Golfweek's ranking of number one all-access golf course in the state in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. And that is no surprise: the reviewers on Golf Advisor raved about the quality of the course.
"I just got done with a day at the Masters on Monday and two days at the RTJ trail in Opelika and this was my favorite part of the trip," one reviewer said. "Alabama's Farmlinks at Pursell Farms delivers a one-of-a-kind layout," said another.
The owners of Pursell Farms were proud of their ranking. "The golfers have spoken," they said in a post on their Facebook page. "Now is a great time to take advantage of our $49 winter golf rate to play on a Top 10 Golf Course!"
You can learn more about Farmlinks on its website.

It is a very old temple/chattri, dedicated to lord Bhomiaji, the protector of Cows, situated in the Sopara village of Bhopalgarh tehsil, Jodhpur, Rajasthan.

It is located on a small hill, outside the village near a pond.
No exact information is available about when main chattri, dedicated to lord Bhomiaji was built, but the adjoining chattri in memory of Jyotsinghji was built about 25 years ago, in 1990.

Bhomiaji ki Chattri
This is the main Chattri, being the center of the beliefs, rituals and festivals celebrated by the villagers.
There are two stone carved images placed in the chattri, along with an image of horse, the ride of Bhomiaji.

Jyotsinghji ki Chattri
Jyotsinghji was the resident of village, and it is said that he got the divine inside himself and lord used to speak through him. So villagers built another chattri nearby the old one of Bhomiaji, in honour of the great soul.

How rich is Charlize Theron?
August 9, 2017 1:34 pm by Andrew M. Views: 152
Name: Charlize Theron
Born: August 7, 1975
Occupation: Actress and philanthropist
Charlize Theron, fair use
Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975 in Benoni, South Africa. She is the daughter of Charles Jacobus Theron and Gerda Jacoba Aletta Meritz, who both owned a farm – her great-great-uncle, Danie Theron, is a major Second Boer War figure. Her father died when her mother shot him.
Charlize attended Putfontein Primary School and later the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg.
Charlize was engaged to actor Sean Penn from 2014 to 2015, but the couple split up. Prior to their relationship, Charlize was romantically involved with several individuals, including Stuart Townsend, Keanu Reeves, Stephan Jenkins and Alexander Skarsgard. Charlize has two adopted children, August and Jackson. The family presently resides in Los Angeles, California.
She set out to become a dancer, but she turned to modeling in her youth when she won a modeling contract and relocated to Milan, Italy. After her one-year modeling stint, Charlize and her mother moved to the United States and enrolled in the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City.
Her mother then sent her to Los Angeles, and received work in the movie business by accident from talent agent John Crosby, whom she later fired. Charlize eventually made her motion picture debut in the 1995 film "Children of the Corn: Urban Harvest" in a non-speaking role. A year later, she appeared in "2 Days in the Valley." By the late-1990s, Charlize appeared in major roles in Hollywood feature films, including "The Devil's Advocate," "The Cider House Rules" and "Mighty Joe Young."
At the start of the year 2000, Charlize starred in five films, including the disaster known as "Reindeer Games." After a brief hiatus from moviemaking, Charlize starred in the critically acclaimed and award-winning film "Monster," winning a Best Actress Oscar. Becoming one of Hollywood's highest-paid stars, Charlize earned top billing in such movies as "Prometheus," "Mad Max: Fury Road," "The Huntsman: Winter War" and "Atomic Blonde."
Outside of the entertainment industry, Charlize has been an avid philanthropist, launching the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) in 2007. Two years later, she was appointed the United Nations Messenger of Peace by then-UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Charlize also became actively involved in animal and women's rights organizations
We estimate that Charlize Theron's net worth is $120 million (2017).
So how much is $120 million really?
$120 million can buy tens of thousands of shoes for children in Africa. $120 million can also produce a blockbuster Hollywood movie that stars Charlize Theron.

How rich is Idris Elba?

HUMBOLDT PARK — Planners envision new Paseo Boricua Arts building to create a cultural hub when it opens next year.
Jose Lopez, executive director of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, was joined Monday by Ald. Roberto Maldonado (26th), State Sen. Cynthia Soto (D-Chicago) and nearly 100 people to unveil the center for artists set to open in 2016.
"Today, we are here as probably one of the most important occasions in the history of this community," Lopez said.
Noting that artists could live at Paseo Boricua, Lopz said: "We are looking to bring housing that is different, that speaks to the idea of creating hubs for like minded people, who share values and share visions. That is what this art building is about.
"For us, this is indeed, a dream come true," Lopez added.
The new arts center will include 15 live/work apartment for artists and their families, retail space, a multi-media theater, a 3,000-square-foot gallery, and a piano lounge.
The project, which is the fruit of a collaboration with Brinshore, Belmont Bank and Trust, and Urban Works, has acquired seven buildings on the 2700 block of West Division Street, including the site of the former Ashland Sausage Company.
Lopez lauded Maldonado and Soto for their commitment to Humboldt Park and getting the new arts facility off the ground.
Maldonado said the new building would be essential to re-imagining the community.
"We don't want to lose the next generation of artist to other cities like New York. We want them to stay in Chicago. The Paseo Boricua Arts building will be a cultural hub for the community and a place that inspires creativity," Maldonado said.
Planning for the new Paseo Boricua Arts building started more than ten years ago, said Eduardo Arocho, executive director of Division Street Business Development Association. "We surveyed local artists in 2004 and continued interviewing over the next decade," Arocho said.
The goal "was to create a space that would complement the local community, businesses, as well as the festivals and parades we have here on Division," Arocho added. "We wanted to create take away this blight."
The next phase of the project is to raise $11 to $14 million through private, public and non-profit funding sources, Arocho said.
Brooklyn Priestley, 24, an artist in Humboldt Park who stopped by for the unveiling, said he was excited to see the plans for the new center and commitment to the arts.
"It's great for the community, and it's great for artists," Priestley said. "I could see myself living in one of the apartments."

General Catalyst, Greylock, and CRV are among the investors backing HR tech companies helping temporary workers find jobs.
