I have moved a lot around the world with my ex-husband.

The friends, which we were leaving behind by every new move, were telling us that we are...

The film titled "Without Words" is Brian Deane's first film but that didn't stop him from grappling with a very tough subject.  This Irish filmmaker won the Social/Environment award in the 2008 Babelgum Online Film Festival!     The film's subject is rarely talked about even in the...

Number 10: You can buy 2005 Bordeaux at the supermarket in Valence d'Angens for about 4 Euros.  Some of these wines you will not find in the United States.  They are the color of rubies in a sunset, and they taste even better than their gleam. Number 9:  The cheese dealer in the open market at...
