In the "Friends Disney for game change", Disney will donate $ 125,000 to each charity and charity of the winning team will receive an additional amount of $100,000. Funds will help support WWF conservation efforts and help secure a future in which people live in harmony with nature.

"Places like the Great Plains of the northern part of our American heritage and are special for the people living there and well beyond." The wide open spaces and epic grandeur reflect the American spirit of freedom and are home to a large part of our unique wildlife and endangered. "A vote for the red team will help us to work together to protect people, species and the grasslands of this magical place and other places important and species around the world," said Martha Kauffman of the WWF, Director of the Northern Great Plains program.

WWF works in many vital areas to preserve and protect the habitats and species that live there. For example, the Great Plains of the North is home to hundreds of birds, butterflies and more than 90 mammals such as bison, antelope and black-footed ferret, one of the mammals more endangered in North America. People living in the prairie can trace their roots generations; centuries, even for the Indians. In the Great Plains of the North, we have a fleeting opportunity to retain and strengthen both the natural and cultural heritage of America.

Young actress in his dreams from dance reminiscent of Dorothy...

"To be someone who has the classic beauty, sex appeal and innocence." We need a young Dorothy Dandridge. "Those were the words of the author Alretha Thomas when describing which assigns the actress who plays Shelia King, the protagonist of his new novel"Dancing her dreams away", should have. She was unaware of Cinderella Graham (his real name), a twenty - something actress of Pomona California fit the Bill.

"Over 100 actresses to play the role of King Shelia in the promo video for ' Dancing Her Dreams Away." http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=xqkv0uhfJGM. They are all young, beautiful and decent credit. However, has something on the photo of Cinderella who speaks my mind. I continued to return to his image. Not only she is pretty, but it embodies the innocence and hope. She has that I envisaged in the character when I wrote him, "said Thomas. "He did not hurt that his name is to be the Cinderella.". "It was a good sign, because what happens to Shelia in the book is somehow a fairy tale," adds Thomas.

After the hearings, Thomas says that he was between Cinderella and another actress. After considerable reflection, she knew that Cinderella would make the perfect Shelia King, the protagonist of "Dancing her dreams away", seeking validation through industry acting with little or no sense of self. She finally gets a break, but the role calls for him to go topless. Fearing disapproval of her grandmother, she declined the offer. But after many setbacks, it undertakes to respect the producer Grégoire III of Livingston, interpreted by the beautiful and talented actor Josef Cannon in the promo video. Gregory is rich, sweet, ridiculously fine and the panacea for the career of Shelia woes. At first glance, it shapes plans to win the role and his heart. She gets two and works hard to give an Oscar worthy performance. However, when the film wraps, nothing can prepare for the surprising revelations about the past and Greg in the wake of a dream that went wrong.

Cinderella, the second youngest of the four, said she was ecstatic cast and was blown away with his life how similar is the character Shelia. As Shelia, at any time in his life desperately sought the approval of his parents who, because of their beliefs as a Jehovah's witnesses, cutting links with it, shortly after she graduated from high school when they learned that she had a boyfriend and had the intention to make a foray into the entertainment industry. The tension and stress resulted in her moving out of the House and become homeless. She accepted shelter from various friends and continued with emphasis on making in Hollywood. She missed her family, but knew that if she has embraced the faith of his parents that it would not be accepted. When asked why she chose to be homeless, it said "just do me as I could wrap my arms around a faith which call for a parent to dissociate themselves from their child." Dedicated to his craft, she took acting classes and began to audition. Initially, as Shelia, Cinderella found it difficult to stay afloat financially and continue his dream. "At some point, I worked as a bartender, but things were still rough. A Hunter, Cinderella who had decided not to leave. The pain and rejection were not new to him.

Cinderella painfully reminded his brother Patrick Gregory Bowens, Jr. was assassinated in November 1997 at the age of 25 years. Cinderella, a young girl at the time, said that she was very close to Gregory and was devastated by his death. "Death of my brother was very difficult to cross." However, he gave me a strong appreciation for life and I know how much is valuable.

In 2010, she came to Hollywood and continued to fight. She said that it was only earlier this year that things have started to take a turn for the better. It began in a series of independent films and games. "I feel so blessed on the work that I get, especially in the light of the recession." "Things are difficult for everyone." When asked what she wants to do then she replied, "the role of King Shelia in" Dancing dreams Away ""film.""

"Dancing dreams Away" is now available on Amazon.com. Thomas grew up in San Francisco, California. She participated in the University of Southern California received a Bachelor's degree in journalism. She currently resides in southern, CA with her husband. It is available for literary events, interviews, conversations, book club meetings, luncheons, churches, conferences and online conferences.
