Whenever a movie happens to star Zac Efron, I always get a similar reaction from people after viewing it: he's not hard on the eyes. I get it, Zac Efron is an attractive young man that has - like plenty of other current stars (Justin Timberlake comes to mind), used the Disney Channel as a stepping stone to launch his professional acting career. However, what I've never heard out of anyone's mouth is: he's a talented actor. Don't get me wrong - and believe it or not, I see a ton of acting potential

Anthony and his brother drew stares at the mysterious house as they took steps slowly toward the door. They rang the doorbell and a tall, dark and handsome male named Derek much taller than Anthony about 6’4” with streaked brown hair, and muddy blue eyes stared down at them with an excited face and welcomed them in. They followed Derek down the dimly lighted hallway into a colorful, loud room with a DJ and crowd of dancing people. Drew is well informed and so when he knows there will be trouble he

We are living in a time where it seems as if we as a people cannot agree on anything. We are living what appears to be a turbulent time in a nation that is dividing further and further apart. With all the terrible things going on in the nation we all need an escape from time to time. To me one of the best escapes form the chaos in the world is laughter. What better way to get that laughter delivered to you, than stand-up comedy? Over the years I have not met many people that do not enjoy going to

The City of Grand Prairie was incorporated in 1909; however, the community was first recognized under the name Dechman in 1863 after its founder, Alexander McRae Dechman. Ironically, the first post office in town opened in 1877 under the name “Deckman” because a employee at the U.S. Post Office could not read the writing on the form. Later in 1877 the name of the town changed to Grand Prairie. Today, Grand Prairie is 81 miles squared and is ideally located between Dallas and Fort Worth. An estimated

ignored by the men. This did not deter Eleanor, she would continue to work for women’s equal rights. She would never be silenced and continued to share her concerns with Franklin throughout his presidency. She encouraged Franklin to include women in his White House appointments and was successful in this endeavor. “At times she got on his nerves, but Franklin would consider her opinions, sometimes taking her suggestions, sometimes ignoring them.” (Harris, 2007) Eleanor herself may have been one of the

Why did War break out between Scotland and England in the Reign of Edward I? On the 14th of May 1264, the forces of Simon de Montfort, Gloucester and the Londoners were set arrayed against the loyalist forces of King Henry III, Richard of Cornwall and Prince Edward (later to become King Edward I). The loyalists suffered a massive defeat at this Battle of Lewes and among those captured, aside from Richard of Cornwall and perhaps the King (Prestwich indicates the unsure nature of the King's capture

speaks numbers to the colossal impact that Eleanor Roosevelt had on people (Roosevelt 216-218). No other First Lady before Eleanor had taken as many steps as she did to improve the nation. She helped to pave the way for future women, redefining feminism and aiding in the progress of improving the lives of those in both the United States and abroad (First Lady Biography: Eleanor Roosevelt). Coming from beginnings filled with public service, not only did Eleanor Roosevelt drastically change the role

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States. Born on May 8, 1884, in Lamar, Missouri, he was the oldest of three children. Truman had no middle name. His parents apparently gave him the middle initial “S” to appease two family relatives.      At age six, his family moved to Independence, Missouri, where he attended Sunday school. There he met five year-old Elizabeth Wallace, with whom he later fell in love with. Beginning school at age eight, Truman modeled

     Eleanor was one of three grandchildren born from the dishonest relationship between William IX of Aquitaine and Dangereuse, wife of the viscount of Châtellerault. William IX had stolen Dangereuse from the viscount, and even though the two could not officially marry, they had allowed their oldest children to marry each other. Dangereuse’s oldest daughter Aenor had married William IX’s oldest son, William X. They had three children, two daughters, Eleanor and Petronilla, and a

hard to make friends. Roosevelt found himself being attracted to his distant cousin Eleanor Roosevelt while attending Harvard. In 1905 he married Eleanor and they together had six children. Roosevelt attended Columbia Law School, although he did not meet all the requirements he passed his bar exams and started practicing law in New York. Later, Franklin had an affair with his wife’s social secretary Lucy Mercer. Eleanor discovered their relationship in 1918 by finding letters between the two of them
