Following on from my previous post where I shared with you my most recent YouTube video, I’d like to talk briefly, here in this blog post, about how I recorded the narration.

From brekeriet beer out of Landskrona Sweden comes their "Argouse" a sour farmhouse ale. The beer pours a cloudy orange with little to no head. The aroma consists of lots of barnyard funk and citrus. The flavour is of lemon, barnyard funk, tartness, citrus and some wheat. The alcohol content comes in at 5.5%. This beer was quite refreshing and tasty and we'll worth picking up! The price is pretty high in Canada but worth it.

It's time to refresh your daily beauty routine for Spring! Out with the old, in with the new - Let's do a little spring cleaning to our bathroom cabinets!

@ San Martin Airport, San Martin, CA

April 2015

In 2015 I was invited to be an observer for a Disaster Airlift Response Team exercise being held at the San Martin airport.  Part of the exercise involved the transportation of injured patients from San Martin up to Stanford Hospital.  As a mock patient, I was ferried to Palo Alto airport in this Skylane, courtesy of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Air Squadron.  The Squadron is a volunteer organization affiliated with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department...

The Jr.NBA and Jr.WNBA Presented by Alaska started its search for the best basketball players in the country through Regional Selection Camp that was held at Baguio City, Davao, Cebu and Don Bosco Institute in Makati.

Boys and girls who joined the search for the ten best boys and five best girls basketball players will become members of the Jr.NBA and Jr.WNBA All-Star team. There was also a search for the boys and girls coaches who will handle the two teams.

We cast a gaze over three more recent shorts.

One of the five P-51’s on hand at this years Pacific Coast Dream Machines show was this beautiful Mustang known as “Grim Reaper”.  She was delivered to the Royal Swedish Air Force in 1944 and made its way back to the US after spending time with the Dominican Air Force.  After World War II, the P-51 Mustang served in the air forces of over 55 countries.  Nikon D500 w/70-200mm, processed with Aperture.

As embarrassing as it is to admit, we've fallen for several of the infamous tuk tuk and taxi scams in Thailand. Many times we were focusing our efforts on avoiding pickpocketers, turning down rum buckets, or keeping our cameras secure and completely overlooked the scam that was (quite literally) right in front us.

Ralph's Life is pleased and proud to be able to exclusively bring you the premiere of the Graham Marshall video for his single 'Making It On My Own'...

The Graham Marshall story is reflected in his catalog of songs: survival, adventure, love and tragedy are more than mere subjects of whim to strum his guitar to.

At 20, his band, Screaming Silence, was a hit in his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland. But on the brink of the showcase gig ...

When I first scheduled this post at 2:00 pm yesterday, the stats were 5 dead and 38 wounded. Wouldn’t be surprised if it goes up again before tomorrow morning. The updated story of 6 dead and 45 shot is here.

the full text of Kerry's commencement speech

Kerry talking about the coming of a borderless world reminds me Shimon Peres holding similar beliefs. I would like them to point out one county, and its neighboring country, that is willing and ready to erase its borders and just let everyone and anyone in and out without any government oversight.

community activist Miri Shalem posted on her Facebook page an invitation to the Haredi community to participate in the local Yom Hazikaron memorial events.

She writes:
Yesterday I realized that there are many Haredi friends and neighbors that might even want to be partners in the Yom Hazikaron memorial ceremonies, but they feel like outsiders and do not know how to participate.

Miri goes on to extend an invitation to the Haredi community. She writes:
Dear neighbor/friend,

If you ask Moms about a simple thing that gives them a lot of pleasure, many of them are bound to say one thing - chocolate! There's something so deliciously inviting about soft, silky chocolate melting in your mouth and reaching all your senses. And there are so many ways to eat chocolate too - brownies, fudge, ice cream, milkshake - even muesli or trail mix! Since it's summer and we're all sweltering in the heat, we've decided to go with a sinful chocolate cookie smoothie, specially for Moms! Читать дальше...

“What do you burn apart from witches?” “More witches!” Earning a doctorate is kind of like learning how to get lost. It certainly doesn’t make you either cool or employable, but it allows you a few years to accumulate enough debt to keep you out of trouble for awhile. One of the things I learned along the way is that you should always follow the crowd. I look at the schools that only hire Harvard grads and there can be no doubt. I look at all ...

I pass on clips from this interesting piece, that has been languishing in my queue of potential posts for some time, in which Willer and Feinberg give a more accessible account of their work reported in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

Your body movements amid your presentation can reinforce the effect of your message or it can truly be a diversion. One of your objectives as a speaker is to look so normal and natural with your movements and with what you say that nobody even takes notice of that you are using intonation and inflection or body motions as a method for underlining the purposes of your discourse.

First of all, I hope you have a great Akshaya Tritiya!

(In case you aren't aware why the day is considered auspicious, go here.)

As to the proceedings of yesterday, let's just say God must have had fits of laughter. Yes, I was that comical. Me and my plans - Grrrrr! But there is no point crying over it, is there? God isn't. So, why should I?

Okay, I might have overrun with that metaphor there.

Today is a Monday and Mondays I consider to be my rest days. Okay, not really. Читать дальше...

Loose Canons in Russian Army

The Russian city of Novosibirsk has been a major staging area for sending Russian army regulars to fight in Eastern Ukraine. Stripped of insignia and anything that would identify the Russian military, men and equipment regularly make the trek from this city to Ukraine.

On 8 May however the Russians discovered a loose canon in their ranks-literally. While rounding a corner to take the highway out of the city, one canon broke loose and provided for a little excitement on the streets of Novosibirsk. Читать дальше...
