The Gala is also called "The Stars of Tomorrow meet the Stars of Today". The first act featured 10-17 y.o. winners, while the second act featured solos by the most promising or acclaimed ( Read more... )

If you ever feel like there is not enough romance in your life or you are disappointed with your spouse(luckily not my case), pay a visit to the family court. I interpreted a divorce proceeding for a russian speaking woman today. I am not supposed to tell you the details of the case. But after the proceeding we chatted while the judge was ( Read more... )
