American Frontier: The Medicine Ways Medicine has not always been as advanced as it is today, simpler times also meant simpler medicine.

I have noticed Jensen Ackles do this with other roles that he portrayed, for example, TV-Shows like Dark Angel as Alec McDowell, Smallville as Jason Teague and in the movies like Devour as Jake Gray and My Bloody Valentine 3D as Tom Hanniger. Jensen has the range and nuance to play a puzzling, many-sided character with seeming ease, giving us an opportunity to share in Dean’s…

Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, more commonly known by his childhood nickname “Caligula”, is widely considered as one of the most vilest men to ever live. He is one of the most corrupt and irrational emperors to ever rule, and is representative of what we fear in totalitarian leaders.

In Lives of the Twelve Caesar's Suetonius delves into the life of Caligula, describing both his brief reign as emperor…
