Wine tours greatly affected by California Drought
Things are going from bad to worse as California experiences worst spring drought in 150 years.
“We’re in a dry spell if not a drought,” said California Secretary for Resources Mike Chrisman. “We’re in the second year, and if we’re looking at a third year, we’re talking about a serious problem.”
Agriculture, which consumes about 80% of California’s water, is being hit the hardest. Many farmers are switching to crops that are less dependent on large volumes of water. A few avocado farmers cut all their trees down to stumps saying that they’ll wait until the water situation corrects itself before resuming their trade. It’s possible for farmers to switch crops but what of California Wine. It has taken some time but California wine has finally established itself as a respected wine. On top of the maturing of the California wine market there are tens of thousands of tourist that take part in California wine tours.

Facebook User-Friendly makeover in the works
It seems that those who run Facebook are gearing up to overhaul the site. Apparently they’re planning on making it more user friendly for those who I guess have a rather limited understanding of the internet and its various offerings. I personally have not had any problems with the site but I guess a little tweaking here and there can’t hurt. Progress is good, right?
Perhaps the new changes will include an abandonment of those annoying applications that so many people seem to love so much. I’ve never understood why someone would want to invite me to an application that’s all about peas. Who likes peas? Nobody likes peas. Even peas don’t like peas. Just because creating a silly application is an option doesn’t mean people have to run with it and beat it to death and then broadcast their love of peas to everyone. Have I mentioned how silly peas are?

Vaclav Klaus wants to Debate Al Gore
The whole process is already in the hands of those who are not interested in rational ideas and arguments. It is in the hands of climatologists and other related scientists who are highly motivated to look in one direction only because a large number of academic careers has evolved around the idea of man-made global warming.
- Vaclav Klaus
It seems that as of late talk in the media of global warming and its affects around the world has died off slightly, at least compared to the attention it was getting when Al Gore’s film came out, but Vaclav Klaus, the president of the Czech Republic, is about to change all that. His new book called Blue Planet in Green Shackles is on its way to bookstores and it’ll surely make a wave or two.

Sharpton arrested,again. Noted racist should give up on race relations and go back to fraud - at least nobody dies.
The reverend was up to his antics in New York City again, leading another riot. Seems to be about the only thing he is good at. He’s tried politics and failed. He’s tried acting - and if you’ve seen his appearance on Boston Legal you’d agree - he failed. He’s tried marriage and failed. He’s also tried education, at Brooklyn College, and failed. He’s tried debating (I’m thinking of the one with Christopher Hitchens here) and failed pretty badly. About the only thing he succeeded at was screwing the City of New York out of $200 000 in a settlement reached back in 2003. Read the rest of this entry »
