Although organic doesn’t inherently mean environmentally friendly, growers should try their best to use an irrigation method that helps conserve water and energy....

There’s nothing more frustrating than when you show up for a job, keep up your end of the contract, and then have to endlessly pursue a customer to pay what you’re owed.

Is it possible to avoid it? Perhaps, but there are so many variables at play that it’s impossible to find and implement a foolproof formula....

You love your Prius. But maybe you’d love it more if you could have a little more control? How about turning off that irritating backup beeping? Or resetting the maintenance/oil change light? Your Prius Is Susceptible To a Dead Battery You would think with a Prius having such a massive bank of batteries there would always be enough juice to get things going, right?

Differential settlement is the term used in structural engineering for a condition in which a building’s support foundation settles in an uneven fashion, often leading to structural damage. All buildings settle somewhat in the years following construction, and this natural phenomenon generally causes no problems if the settling is uniform across the building’s foundation or all of its pier supports. But when one section of the foundation settles at a faster rate than the others, it can lead to major structural damage to the building itself....

Ah, sleep. Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping, and some days, even that doesn’t seem like enough.

It seems like no two sources report the National Hockey League standings in the same way, so sorting out where your team is and how it got there can be confusing for a hockey beginner. But the statistics used in the NHL standings are actually easy to understand once you get the hang of it. The most important numbers are wins, losses, ties, overtime or shootout losses, and points. All of the other numbers are important only for breaking ties or for analyzing strengths, weaknesses, and trends....

As it is with all of pitching, whether you’re throwing a slider, a fastball or other typical pitch, keeping your intentions secret is a big part of the battle.

“The Rising of the Moon” is a traditional Irish folk song that was written in the mid-1860s and tells a story about the 1798 Rebellion. The words were penned by John Keegan Casey, a poet who was an activist with the Fenian movement, which sought to liberate Ireland in a failed uprising in March of 1867. It’s believed that he wrote the lyrics to help inspire fervor in the 1867 uprising, similar to that of the 1798 Rebellion, but indeed, the latter was squashed as well....

Air is the element of the mind, and airy types know that everything begins with an idea. Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini are the “idea people,” those who breeze in and offer a fresh perspective on the situation at hand. As observers, they’re often seeing from a loftier position and are able to offer clarity that others don’t have. Some are spacy if there’s a lot of air sign planets and not a lot of earth for grounding....

In January 2005, Nickelback fans were surprised to learn that Ryan Vikedal was no longer the drummer for the group. Vikedal was not the original drummer for the group. He joined the group in 1998, replacing Mitch Guindon. Vikedal’s work is heard on most of the group’s most popular records including the albums The State, Silver Side Up, and The Long Road. Early word seemed to indicate Vikedal’s exit was not completely harmonious, and, as the former group member was sued by lead vocalist and songwriter Chad Kroeger in November 2005, this perception seemed confirmed....

It is also responsible for seeking criminal and civil actions against unlicensed contractors....
