Green Wine Info

You would have to live under a rock some where out in the middle of No Man’s Land not to have heard about the green movement that is going on so strongly these days. I find it interesting how many industries and companies are trying so hard to do their part in this very important movement, even today’s wine makers are getting into the act.

I found a very interesting website that talks about the ways that wine makers are going green and I wanted to share it here because I feel very strongly about these important green issues. So please take a moment and check out what they are saying at wine.com.

Cement Trivia

I enjoy learning new things all of the time. I guess you could say I’m a trivia buff. I’ve just got a curiosity that can’t be satisfied! So I do a lot of browsing on the Internet, to satisfy my curiosity! Today I was learning about Ordinary Portland Cement. I did not know that there were five different types of Portland Cement. I also did not know that cement is different from mortar or concrete – I thought they were just different words for the same product!

So today I learned that cement is one of the ingredients used to make mortar and concrete, but is NOT mortar OR concrete! And I learned that different types of cement are used for different purposes. Some types harden quicker than others, some can be buried and some can’t be buried. Cement really is a remarkable product!

Ring Ring

These days it seems to be a big deal for everyone to have some special ring tones for their cell phones. You almost never hear anyone’s cell phone just ring a standard ring like all the home phones used to do. Now they have these little snippets of digitized music that play when a call comes in.

Some of the tunes I have no idea what song they are from or what they are supposed to mean. But some have been cute or recognizable, like the Star Wars theme song or even some oldies songs like Saturday Night Fever.

2012

It seems that all the talk is about how the end of the world is coming this December. Personally I don’t believe such nonsense and even if it is true there isn’t a darned thing anyone can do about it. We all just need to keep on keeping on and hope for the best.

Today I found this interesting video about the Mayans, who are being held responsible for a lot of this scary stuff going around because of their calendar ending this December, so I wanted to share it here.
