Outstanding view of Prague. This is my third visit to the city. I saw and learned more on this tour than on all my previous visits. The guide was brilliant. Arrangements from pickup to drop-off were very efficient. Buffet was extensive and delicious. I could not recommend this tour more highly. The brilliantly sunny day definitely helped!

A good way to see a different view of Prague. i have previously done the dinner cruise, but the daytime one gives you the chance to see much more as you cruise up and down the Vltava River. Great for photographers!

Biopics Create Strange Celebrity for Real-Life Heroes
When Dicky Eklund surprised Christian Bale on stage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, a familiar scene played out in front of viewers. Bale, who played Eklund in 'The Fighter,' threw an arm around the former boxer and said, "This is the original quacker right here. Thank you for living the life, and thank you for letting me play you."
"How do you like me now?" replied Eklund.
"I like you now," joked Bale.
'The Fighter's' success hasn't always been a laughing matter for Eklund. "It made me sad to watch it," he told the Boston Herald after previewing the film.
In the same interview with the Herald, Eklund made it clear that the resurgence of his fame hasn't changed him. "These days he teaches classes at two local gyms and hopes to slip out of the spotlight and convince people that being featured in a movie hasn't changed him, financially or otherwise," read the article.
Eklund, "The Pride of Lowell" Massachusetts, is far from the first real-life hero to share the stage with an actor being awarded for their role in a biographical film.
Nominated in 15 Emmy categories, HBO's biographical film 'Temple Grandin' gave the real-life Grandin, a doctor of animal science and professor at Colorado State University with high-functioning autism, a brush with fame.
When the film took home the Emmy for Oustanding Made for Television Movie, producer Emily Gerson Saines told Grandin, "On behalf of all the parents like myself who have a child with autism, you are our hero." Saines named Grandin's mother, Eustacia Cutler, as the film's "inspiration." "Mother, stand up. I know you're nervous, but please stand up," Grandin said as cameras in the audience cut to a beaming Cutler.
As the film gained critical acclaim, Grandin became a staple at award shows, sitting alongside the nominated cast and crew. Attending award shows may have been a change of pace for Grandin, but as an internationally recognized advocate for autism, she has appeared on television, radio and documentary films.
In the same way the 2000 film 'Erin Brockovich' brought attention to the consumer advocate Julia Roberts portrayed, 'Conviction' put a spotlight on the incredible story of Betty Anne Waters.
In 'Conviction,' Hilary Swank played Waters, a Rhode Island waitress who earned college and law degrees to overturn her brother's murder convinction after he was wrongly sentenced. But the transformation from local to nationally recognized hero wasn't an easy one for Waters. "I'm not going to say this is fun for me; I've had fun moments," Waters told The New York Times when the film was released in October 2010. "I'm tired right now. I could never keep this up."
Barry Scheck, a lawyer who assisted on the case that freed Waters' brother, spoke frankly about Waters' transformation from real-life hero to cinema fodder.
"It's not everyone who gets a movie made about her life. The amazing thing is, she's the same person. She's this totally down-to-earth, likable, accessible person who did this extraordinary thing."
It's no secret that films based on true stories draw audiences to the box office in droves. There's no better way to inspire moviegoers than with unbelievable tales of real people overcoming adversity. But even though real-life heroes may benefit from Hollywood's recognition, they aren't always prepared for the dizzying demands that come along with the spotlight.

WOONOCKET – Chris Skurka had no intention on letting up.
Despite a more important playoff game early next week, the Cumberland High coach planned to have his red-hot squad go full throttle against Woonsocket in their annual Thanksgiving Day contest.
He lied. Well, sort of.
The Clippers scored four times in the first quarter, found the end zone again in the second quarter and the second-stringers get some ample playing time after halftime in cruising to a 35-6 rout of the Villa Novans on Thursday morning.
PAWTUCKET — Tolman quarterback Luis Rodrigues stood up to a hard-hitting Shea defense on Wednesday night and finally made the play that won the game.
After getting sacked two plays in a row midway through the fourth quarter by Shea defensive tackle Wayne Wambugu, Rodrigues stood tall in the pocket on 3rd-and-14 and lofted a pass into the right flat to a wide-open Andre Gilbert, who romped into the end zone for the only score of the game.
JOHNSTON — St. Raphael Academy put together its best defensive effort of the season Wednesday night, resulting in a 10-0 blanking of host Johnston.
The Saints showed contender-level defense for a night, riding a pair of timely interceptions and two second-half sacks that all but killed any hope the host Panthers had in finding the end zone. The end result was a sweet victory for Mike Sassi's crew, which ends the season with six wins against four defeats.
PAWTUCKET — It's a common assumption that you can't have both brains and brawn. Apparently Davon Robertson didn't get the memo.
Robertson fits the definition of a student-athlete to a tee. Not only is this senior a two-way football contributor for St. Raphael Academy, but he's also a success story in the classroom. Blend the two attributes together and it's little wonder that Robertson is being recruited by some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the area.
PAWTUCKET --- Some Thanksgiving series around this part of New England have usually been predictable, and often lopsided affairs year in and year out, while other series have been ones that you can actually throw out the records and expect competitive games.
The latter has certainly been the case with the Shea-Tolman series, which will celebrate its 10th game Wednesday when the two intracity rivals invade McCoy Stadium for a 7 p.m. showdown.
NORTH SMITHFIELD – His all-out smile that charms in an instant, affable personality and cordial "Yes, sir" response allows Paris Correia to fit in at North Smithfield High. His relentless desire to attack the opposition on the football field with impetuous abandon is also a plus, for sure.
Yet is hasn't always been that simple.
Central Falls and North Smithfield aren't Thanksgiving football rivals but the two Division IV playoff teams are inextricably linked this week.
They are linked because if North Smithfield defeats Scituate on Thursday morning, it wins No. 1 seed in next week's playoffs and would host No. 4 seed Central Falls in the semifinal round scheduled for next Tuesday evening.
"I don't want my guys to overlook Scituate," North Smithfield coach Wes Pennington said on Sunday when the potential playoff matchup with Central Falls was raised.
LINCOLN — It wasn't much of a surprise for the standing-room-only crowd at the Twin River Event Center to see Pawtucket's Todd Chattelle capture the inaugural CES Mixed Martial Arts middleweight title.
What was surprising was the manner in which he won the championship belt -- with a submission.
An established standup fighter who recorded all eight of his career knockouts with his punching ability, Chattelle picked up the biggest victory of his career with his first-ever submission by slapping an unexpecting guillotine chokeout on Brett Oteri of Dedham, Mass. 3:18 into their fight.
PROVIDENCE – During a time when school budgets are slashed and teachers are in dire need for resources and incentives for their students, National Grid Foundation scored an assist in providing a $30,000 grant to support the Providence Hoops for the Stars Program.
Hoops for the Stars is a partnership program that provides inner-city students with the opportunity to earn tickets to Providence College men's basketball games in return for hard work in the classroom and positive behavior in the community.
WOONSOCKET — It has been said more than a few times that success in high school sports comes in cycles. Talented players sometimes come in cohesive groups of classmates who win games from middle school on up through high school. And when they graduate, sometimes the cupboard is empty.
That could be the story of Woonsocket High's football program, which won the last two Division II Super Bowls before falling back to earth this season, finishing 1-6 in league action.


text: Hi guys I am starting to throw the idea around at gettting anouther truck. I do mostly off road bashing and already have a good experences with my Stampede 4x4, hence why I am thinking the E-MaXX would be the next step up. However I read on a few reviews that the durablity is a question in bashing situations (bulkheads), and the E Revo is bulit stronger. I understand I would need to upgrade A-arms, axles but I dont to perform a massive breakdown of the kit every time I run as well. Yet I like fact of the higher stance the MAXX gives. What do you guys think is a better basher for , grass, dirt etc applications and will hold together?

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 7/9/13
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed fifth-round draft pick Denard Robinson to a contract. According the league's rookie slotting system, Robinson gets a signing bonus around $210,000 and counts about $450,000 against the salary cap. A college quarterback at Michigan who is learning how to play running back in Jacksonville, Robinson is expected to see playing time as a rookie. The Jaguars list him as an ''offensive weapon.'' Robinson finished his college career with the most rushing yards by a quarterback in NCAA history (4,495). He ran for 1,266 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior. He also threw for 1,319 yards and nine scores. The Jaguars now have two draft picks unsigned: fourth-rounder Ace Sanders and sixth-rounder Josh Evans.

The year was 1996. The date was the 4th day of July. The tattered remnants of the hard music community of these once proud United States were clinging to shattered dreams and the nearly forgotten remnants of glory in a rock radio world that had seemingly forgotten how to play things that didn't suck.
It was during these bleak times a radio show burst upon the scene. A radio show that would help put extreme music on the broadcast map. A radio show that would save America itself. The radio show was hardDrive.
Since its birth, hardDrive has become a respected and influential extreme rock (for those you who don't know what this is, suffice to say it's a cross between hard rock and modern rock) radio show in broadcast history. Hosted since its inception by the award winning Lou Brutus, the show has constantly defined what modern hard music is all about. Week after week hardDrive interviews virtually every extreme musician that exists. Nuff said.

Ice Cream in Dallas
Who doesn't scream for ice cream? Dallas ice cream stores and parlors are a rage all year round, no matter how hot or cold it may be outside. The most important development in the ice cream making business is the rise of customized flavors where trained mixers create original flavors based on what customers like in their ice cream. This has expanded to ice cream cake, shakes, and even cupcakes.

The spotlights and footlights are expected to still shine brightly.
The Masonic Temple says it plans to pay its outstanding utility bills before the Sunday shutoff deadline.
DTE Energy had taped a shutoff notice on the historic building's front door, threatening to disconnect electric and gas service.
"We're not not paying bills. It's trying to be timely with the bills," said Jimmy Romeo, the Masonic's director of events. "The bill will be paid in the allotted time."
He said that a private event, which was next on the Masonic calendar, was to go on as scheduled Thursday night.
It takes $3,000 a day to run the Masonic, he added.
According to Romeo, the Detroit Masonic Theater Company, which runs the entertainment venue for the Masons, inherited the outstanding bills when it took over management of the landmark.
Olympia Entertainment oversaw the Masonic until 2010.
The Ilitch-owned firm commented in a prepared statement, saying it did not leave the venue with any outstanding debts, "when Olympia Entertainment stepped in back in 2007 to manage the venue, we invested significantly in the operations of the facility, including paying off and restructuring substantial debt on behalf of the nonprofit Masonic Temple Association. When our lease agreement with the Masonic Temple Association ended in 2010, all of Olympia's financial responsibilities were current."
DTE Energy said in a written statement that the Masonic Temple has "accrued a substantial unpaid balance and attempts to reach a workable payment arrangement with the facility's management have been unsuccessful ... We recognize the iconic status that the Masonic Temple holds in the community and we regret that a shutoff may be necessary, but in fairness to all of our customers we cannot continue to provide utility services without payment."
The storied venue is used for weddings along with performances.
Romeo said he was concerned that the threatened utility shutoff might scare away potential brides and concert promoters. "It's a concern of ours."

The Department of Sculpture and Extended Media's eight full-time faculty members and various part-time and technical faculty represent a spectrum of directions and philosophical attitudes. Faculty interests range from formal to conceptual, from the concrete to the evanescent. This breadth of interests is presented to students and contributes to the comprehensive nature of our department. Students are not only exposed to traditional sculpture media, but encouraged to explore technology's parameters and to pursue interdiscipliary activity.
We encourage sculpture students to broaden their experience in other areas. By promoting a curriculum that encourages students to take a wide range of courses throughout the university, we stress links between art, science, the humanities and the world. As a consequence, sculpture students have rich, productive associations with professors in many fields.
Sculpture students are challenged to exploit their full potential by questioning notions of contemporary art. Our goal is to provide students with the vocabulary, the seeds of discernment and the skills of both analysis and synthesis in order to become participants in the dialogue of our time. All of this takes place in an environment of high expectation regarding self-motivation, intellectual capacity and responsibility.
The sculpture program is housed in a state-of-the-art facility. Sculpture majors are provided with semi-private, locked studio spaces and are given time, support and encouragement to pursue their independently determined goals.
Last update: 6/5/2012
The VCU Bulletin is in transition! As we move from this first iteration of our online Bulletin to a new product and process, what you find on this website is information for the 2014-15 academic year.
While much of the curricular information remains the same, changes that were approved with the effective date of fall 2015 will not be reflected on this website. Prospective students may wish to contact the school or department that administers their program of interest in order to discuss the most current curriculum and concentration options.
Enrolled students who are completing their studies under an effective Bulletin may continue to access the archives at http://www.pubapps.vcu.edu/Bulletins/archives.aspx, where past Bulletins are available to reference or download.
Our anticipated launch of the new VCU Bulletin is July 2015. To follow our progress, visit the new Bulletin blog.

Tell Us The 6 Songs Of Your Life
Originally published on Mon January 13, 2014 12:09 pm
Music. It's been there with us from the beginning — sometimes in the background, sometimes centerstage. We listen. We sing. We play along. We compose. We remember.
We are a species deep into music. And the music is deep into us — especially those of us at NPR, where music is an essential element of everyday existence.
Lilty lullaby, whimsical folktune, heartfelt ballad, raunchy rock anthem, uplifting hymn, darkest dirge. These are some of the songs that add fullness and volume (Sometimes too much volume: Turn that music down!) to life on Earth.
Everybody has a playlist — songs you carry in your head and in your heart that remind you of sometime or someplace or someone. You hear the song; you remember. You remember; you hear the song. Like an optical illusion, two memories braided together in your soul.
If you could tell your life story — chronologically, up to now — in six songs, what would they be?
To help us get the hang of it, Digital News Producer April Fehling has pulled together a sextet of songs that, when stitched together, suggest what the soundtrack, the playlist of A Life in America might sound like.
Now please fill out this handy form or simply send your personal soundtrack — a list of six songs, along with a brief explanation of why each song is important to you — to email@example.com, along with your name, age and place of residence.
If this #6songs experiment works, we will feature some of the playlists in a future post.
Thank you.

Aliases for BYSL Gene
Aliases for BYSL Gene
External Ids for BYSL Gene
- Entrez Gene: 705
- Ensembl: ENSG00000112578
- UniProtKB: Q13895
Summaries for BYSL Gene
Bystin is expressed as a 2-kb major transcript and a 3.6-kb minor transcript in SNG-M cells and in human trophoblastic teratocarcinoma HT-H cells. Protein binding assays determined that bystin binds directly to trophinin and tastin, and that binding is enhanced when cytokeratins 8 and 18 are present. Immunocytochemistry of HT-H cells showed that bystin colocalizes with trophinin, tastin, and the cytokeratins, suggesting that these molecules form a complex in trophectoderm cells at the time of implantation. Using immunohistochemistry it was determined that trophinin and bystin are found in the placenta from the sixth week of pregnancy. Both proteins were localized in the cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast in the chorionic villi and in endometrial decidual cells at the uteroplacental interface. After week 10, the levels of trophinin, tastin, and bystin decreased and then disappeared from placental villi. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for BYSL Gene
BYSL (Bystin-Like) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with BYSL include teratocarcinoma.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for BYSL Gene
Required for processing of 20S pre-rRNA precursor and biogenesis of 40S ribosomal subunits. May be required for trophinin-dependent regulation of cell adhesion during implantation of human embryos.

Comments about Coral Coast Harrison 12-ft. Wood Garden Bridge:
Assembled in an evening and had it stained and watersealed and installed but lunch the next day. Helpful to have some wood glue and some extra nails or bolts to beef it up a bit if you want heavier service. Requires a bit of common sense to assemble.....follow the wood grains to know you are reassembling them exactly as they were originally assemebled and cut and you won't have any issues. Was missing a few washers. You will need to do your own finish...I did polyurethane on deck, and Thompson's waterseal everywhere else. It's very helpful to assemble it all loosely before you tighten stuff down and layout the decks too before screwing in with spacers the way you like to avoid gaps before screwing it down. Two people can move it around without too much trouble. Not super heavy duty....I hope to get a few years of service out of it.

Comments about Coral Coast Harrison 12-ft. Wood Garden Bridge:
The bridge looks nice, but I was surprised at how low the rails were. More importantly, the bridge creeks and moves with every step. I'm worried if it is stable enough for kids to be on. In addition, the written directions do not match the pictorial parts or assembly steps. I was going to buy another one, but I may choose a different manufacturer for the second bridge.

Comments about Coral Coast Harrison 12-ft. Wood Garden Bridge:
We bought this bridge to go over our culvert to the mailbox - it's nice because it's pretty, and it's functional! It's made of all cedar, which I thought was a bonus, I am most certain I could not buy the materials for what I paid for this, and it came ready to assemble, no prep, just put it together and stain if you like. Because of it's length it does bow down in the middle when you walk over it, only time will tell if it holds up, I sure hope it does, cause it's a real nice addition to our country home!

Comments about Coral Coast Harrison 12-ft. Wood Garden Bridge:
Not sure this is cedar. Strangest cedar I have ever seen. Looks more like white pine. Bridge is ok but not very sturdy. Would have been better with thicker bottom supports. You should mention the thickness of wood in the ad.

I am just wondering is there anyway to turn on and off for EnableRaisingEvents every 100 milliseconds? For example, initially, the EnableRaisingEvents is set true. when there is an event coming in, EnableRaisingEvents is set to false. 100 milliseconds after, EnableRaisingEvents is set true again. Until the file watcher receive another event, EnableRaisingEvents is set false again. It is OK to miss events during the time that EnableRaisingEvents is turn off (set as false). So I am just wondering how should I realize this logic in code. What confuses me is, the event is going to be fired anyway, should I use a tick to decide whether to accept this event or not?

|A multidisciplinary, international approach is taken in this volume which contextualizes men''s health issues within the broader theoretical framework of men''s studies. The contributors argue that gender is a key factor for understanding the patterns of men''s health risks, the ways men perceive and use their bodies and men''s psychological adjustment to illness itself.
The first part introduces perspectives of men''s studies and their relevance to understanding men''s health.

From the Publisher:
"The reader, whether a professional health care worker, researcher, clinician, or concerned individual, will obtain a clearer perspective on the connections between men's health and gender, along with a broader conceptualization of the experiences of men in contemporary society. --Choice Men's Health and Illness contextualizes men's health issues within the broader theoretical framework of the new men's studies. This framework focuses on the profound influence of gender on social life and individual experience. The editors and chapter contributors of this groundbreaking volume argue that gender is a key factor for understanding the patterns of men's health risks, the ways men perceive and use their bodies, and men's psychological adjustment to illness itself. Part I introduces readers to men's studies perspectives and explains their relevance for understanding men's health. Part II explores the linkages between traditional gender roles, men's health, and larger structural and cultural contexts, and Part III examines the implications of multiple masculinities for health issues. The scope of this volume is both multidisciplinary and international. The authors use quantitative and qualitative research methodologies which provide a well-rounded analysis of the subject matter. Taken collectively, the contributions to Men's Health and Illness reflect current efforts by men's studies practitioners to develop theoretical explanations of men's lives that also refer to the influences of class, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, and age. "This collaborative effort in presenting research and theories is so significant that it should become part of the literature studied by advocates of women's studies and men's studies. The reader, whether professional healthcare worker, researcher, clinician, or concerned individual will obtain a clearer perspective on the connections between men's health and gender, along with a broader conceptualization of the experiences of men in contemporary society.

AmazonRunning with Stilettos: Living a Balanced Life in Dangerous Shoes
Third volume in critically acclaimed, award-winning and inspiring essay collections by journalist and criminal prosecutor.
After publishing her earlier two nationally acclaimed essay collections in signature spike heels, (Running with Stilettos and Heck on Heels), journalist, prosecutor and essayist Mary T. Wagner finally admits that high heels just aren't the footwear for every occasion ... especially when power tools are involved.
Wagner's essays on her "Running with Stilettos" website have recently been assigned first place finishes by the National Federation of Press Women for both feature writing and web-content for special interest sites in 2011. Fabulous in Flats continues in the humorous and inspiring vein of adventure and reflection of its predecessors, taking the reader along as the author comes to grips (literally) with cutting bricks with a chop saw stationed on the back of a pickup truck, buys her first prom dress for a fancy dress ball, and reflects on the kindness of strangers in a blizzard following a terrifying accident on the interestate.
From the national award-winning essay "Full Circle"...
If living well, as they say, is the best revenge, I was sure having a red-letter day in the payback department.
Starting from the top down, I was standing in front of a buffet table of canap�s that were both expensive and absolutely delicious. The holiday gathering was double-billed as a wine tasting event, so while my left hand held a beaded little black evening purse, the right held a long-stemmed glass filled with a German �Eiswein.� I have a predilection for sweet German wines, and so this was right up my alley in the palate department.
I was decked out in iridescent chandelier earrings and a sparkly white see-through sweater, with a Victoria�s Secret satin camisole keeping me both decent and legal. A plum-colored cut velvet skirt and black suede sling-back Brazilian high heels with tiny bows rounded out the ensemble. I�d bought the shoes on impulse the winter before, spending more than I ever do (and paying full price, which I almost NEVER do!) in a defiant act of faith that at some point, I was going to have an event to wear them to. It�s kind of a variant on �Field of Dreams.� I�m a big believer that if you buy the shoes, the occasion will follow.
I was newly divorced and happy about it, and my ex�who would normally be at this yearly affair since by all rights it was his bar association�s Christmas party�was spending the evening home with our younger kids. And as I stood by the buffet table, savoring the good food and the great company, an attorney who originally knew me as just "the spouse" at these gathering for nearly two decades, came up, his wife beside him, and asked �So�what can you tell me about the judges in your county?�
I cheerfully and obligingly held court. I�d been in my job for a good five years, so I gave him a complete, humorous rundown. I eventually wound down the evening swapping courtroom tales of valor with a group of young attorneys who had graduated from law school around the same time I did just a few years earlier. For the first time since I�d be going to these gatherings, I felt like I had my own posse�if just for an evening�and it felt really, really good.
It hadn�t been the most auspicious of evenings to start with. I�d only committed to attending the day before, in part because the organizers were still trying to fill the tables. Guilt over never paying my dues to the local bar association (except for the year I�d graduated from law school so that I could join in the group picture) tended to have me keep a low profile for most of these things. And there was a blizzard in progress as well that evening.
On the other hand, the venue was only a couple of miles from my house. I was still driving the Subaru, which was like a four-wheel-drive tank. And post-divorce, it seemed symbolically important to show up at some of the same things I�d attended as part of a couple for years, just to fly the flag and show that I was still standing. I didn�t know if doing so would cut down on local gossip or throw fuel on the fire, but that wasn�t the point. I just needed to show my face. And smile.
As I said, it was a great evening. It wasn�t until the next day that the irony struck me full force. Because I had been in the exact same knot of conversation seventeen years earlier with the exact same people. The same attorney, and his wife, and myself. The only person missing from the tableau was my ex-husband. And the contrast couldn�t have been deeper, or more moving, or more amazing in terms of a journey.
Seventeen years earlier, I was seven months pregnant with my third child. This was our first big local bar outing, a semi-annual gathering of most of the local lawyers, their spouses, and usually a guest speaker or some type of entertainment. My husband had recently taken a job with a local firm. I was as big as a house, and clad in a cheap, tent-sized floral maternity dress from J.C. Penney. We were all dressed up for dinner, and the entire thing�and all the people in it�was brand new to me. I really, really hoped that I�d make a good impression.
And in that venue, I was entirely peripheral. Nearly invisible. The stay-home wife and mother. I gravitated naturally to the other wives, and we swapped tales of motherhood and girl scouting and cake baking and car-pooling. I might have mentioned that I was a free-lance writer, but I don�t remember. The scene would be repeated for many years. Most of the attorneys (at least in the beginning) were men, and they gathered in groups like pin-striped gladiators, swapping tales of courtroom adventures and victories won and appeals mounted and opponents thwarted and justice demanded. The whole arena had a heavy testosterone base under the wall-to-wall carpeting of the country club dining room.
As the years rolled by, there were channel markers and growth rings and metaphorical roots to trip over along the way. The riding accident that put me in the body cast. Law school. The discovery that my brain not only still worked, it worked better than it had when I went to college for the first time. My youngest child starting kindergarten, and my oldest leaving for college. A few memorable meltdowns, a couple of them in the exquisite Gothic church where I got married. Arguing a case, and then another, and then another before the state supreme court. And finally, a long time in coming, the divorce. One step up, two steps back, a couple forward again, a sidestep here and there.
And so the contrast between those two face-to-face encounters with the local attorney, seventeen long and arduous years apart, stood out in my mind as a token of validation, with the brightness of a diamond in a platinum setting on a sunny day. Just look how far I�d come!! The irony made me feel warm and tingly all over. Like a snapshot of victoriously reaching that peak you attempted to climb in utter defiance of your better judgment and common sense and aching muscles when you were on vacation.
That was then. One thing you can always count on in life is that if you�re actually living it instead of just watching, there will always be more channel markers and more stumbling blocks and more growth rings along the way. Since that delightful evening when I stood sipping German wine while decked out in velvet and Victoria's Secret, I�ve gone through a lot more. The �year of turbo-dating.� The loss of both my father and godmother after terrible health complications. The serious illnesses of two of my children. Hundreds of miles on the back of a Harley, and my youngest child leaving for college. And two more command performances before the state supreme court. Just like that vacation snapshot of conquering the summit, the picture fades in importance as the life being lived just gets bigger. Gloriously, messily, sometimes tragically, oftentimes joyfully�bigger. And so inevitably, I revisit the snapshot less and less often. There will always be more hills ahead.
But it doesn�t mean that I�ve forgotten the climb. And I've still got the Brazilian spike heels to prove it.
Third volume in critically acclaimed, award-winning and inspiring essay collections by journalist and criminal prosecutor.
After publishing her earlier two nationally acclaimed essay collections in signature spike heels, (Running with Stilettos and Heck on Heels), journalist, prosecutor and essayist Mary T. Wagner finally admits that high heels just aren't the footwear for every occasion ... especially when power tools are involved.
Wagner's essays on her "Running with Stilettos" website have recently been assigned first place finishes by the National Federation of Press Women for both feature writing and web-content for special interest sites in 2011. Fabulous in Flats continues in the humorous and inspiring vein of adventure and reflection of its predecessors, taking the reader along as the author comes to grips (literally) with cutting bricks with a chop saw stationed on the back of a pickup truck, buys her first prom dress for a fancy dress ball, and reflects on the kindness of strangers in a blizzard following a terrifying accident on the interestate.
In Fabulous in Flats: Putting my best foot forward! author Mary Wagner has provided the reader with twenty-eight marvelous essays which turn out to be life lessons at their very best. Ms. Wagner talks about her struggles and triumphs with power tools and about becoming the mother tiger when her children are ill and defenseless. Those of us who believe technology and culture are leaving us behind will howl at "Thrilling" and "Un-Gardening" and "Tool Time." We will relate to having to read instructions as a last resort and we will understand that "Home is Where the Chocolate Is."
"Bluebirds of Happiness" and "H. D. Thoreau" will remind the reader of the truly important things in this world, while "Two Hens and a Harley" will leave the reader writhing with a sense of joy and, perhaps, natural justice. There are stories of everyday life which will transform the reader's dismal day to one in which he/she can relate to the common triumphs and tragedies of life.
Ms. Wagner states that one of the things which defines us as the people we have become is the manner in which we react to the unknown, be it success or failure. Using this as a standard, her own life would have to be declared a resounding success. She approaches life for what it might offer rather than waiting anxiously for the day of her death. Granted, chocolate bars gave her a "fix" in times of stress, but her gutsy approach to adversity was the key to who she has become: a woman defined by self-comfort and joy of what the world has to offer. This book is highly recommended to any woman or man who has even an inkling of wanting to dwell in a state of self-doubt or "poor me." You will laugh your way through your own misery and be compelled to try again!
Wisconsin Author Review
Mary's right, there's nothing like the sound of heels clicking down a polished floor; not even flip-flops across campus , but I honestly fell in love with Mary's take on life...I wanted to be Mary, or at least go to the Renaissance faire with her and join the sisterhood of selective memory after reading this book. But probably not use power tools with her, though.
Fabulous in Flats, I believe, is Mary's third collection of essays that began as web site posts. May's been through a lot of living that includes myriads of work experiences from journalism to waitress to wife and mom to a legal practice to divorce and re-entry to the relationship game and writing.
The essays in Fabulous in Flats flutter around the clean-up after divorce and are liberally themed on cleaning out her garage. "(This was) a good time to sit in the shade, sip a glass of lemonade over ice, and watch the goldfinches alight at the thistle feeders. Instead, I was dismantling pieces of my past on a beastly hot day in an effort to make more sense and order of my present. In other words, I was cleaning out the garage."
Memories surface as she rediscovers pieces of her life and reinvents herself as an accomplished saw artist, tiger mother, pet owner, gardener, and dessert maker after my own heart.
