The Price is a sweeping, in-depth, thought-provoking look at an inflection point in big-time college football.

To make matters worse, his teachers had no idea either. Not being able to read could have kept him from succeeding and left him trapped in the lower middle income neighborhood he grew up in. But the unquenchable desire to succeed no matter the odds took over, just as it did as a six year old kid teaching himself to tackle taking on a varsity lineman in pickup games in his neighborhood.

Is your pain telling you something? Do you listen to it or try to drown it out? What if your discomfort inspired you to push beyond, but you chose to avoid being uncomfortable? This is a story of pain, discomfort, fear and rejection and how an action man learns to embrace and listen to his spirit. In Search of Marvellousness is a story where everything happens at once and time is fluid, not unlike Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five”, but without the extraterrestrials. It’s a tale of a life filled with adventure and travel like Roald Dahl’s “Going Solo” but without a war.

В 1996 году журналист и телеведущий Вадим Верник снял документальный фильм о Майе Плисецкой Майя. Урок классического танца (в телевизионном цикле "Субботний вечер со звездой"). Съемки проходили в небольшом финском городе Миккели, и на протяжении пяти дней Вернику посчастливилось много общаться с великой балериной. А спустя годы появилась идея на основании этих бесед сделать книгу, тем более, что большинство материалов не вошли в фильм из-за ограниченного хронометража. Эта книга — попытка автора показать Майю Плисецкую «своими глазами», нарисовать портрет без позирования и всевозможных мифов вокруг ее имени.

For those of us born at a time when our formative years saw the end of a dynasty and ushered in over two decades of agonizing mediocrity, we are among the most devoted of all Packer fans.
