Mosses are small, soft plants that are typically 1–10&_160;cm (0.4-4 in) tall, though some species are much larger. They commonly grow close together in clumps or mats in damp or shady locations. They do not have flowers or seeds, and their simple leaves cover the thin wiry stems. At certain times mosses produce spore capsules which may appear as beak-like capsules borne aloft on thin stalks. There are approximately 12,000 species of moss classified in the Bryophyta.[2] The division Bryophyta formerly included not only mosses, but also liverworts and hornworts. These other two groups of bryophytes now are often placed in their own divisions. Botanically, mosses are bryophytes, or non-vascular plants. They can be distinguished from the apparently similar liverworts (Marchantiophyta or Hepaticae) by their multi-cellular rhizoids. Other differences are not universal for all mosses and all liverworts, but the presence of clearly differentiated "stem" and "leaves", the lack of deeply lobed or segmented leaves, and the absence of leaves arranged in three ranks, all point to the plant being a moss. In addition to lacking a vascular system, mosses have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, i.e. the plant's cells are haploid for most of its life cycle. Sporophytes (i.e. the diploid body) are short-lived and dependent on the gametophyte. This is in contrast to the pattern exhibited by most "higher" plants and by most animals. In seed plants, for example, the haploid generation is represented by the pollen and the ovule, whilst the diploid generation is the familiar flowering plant.

1. Magnuson Moss Warranty Act: Supporting Lemon Laws
November 19, 2009
The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act is a little known federal law that holds manufactures and dealers responsible for any defective materials over the price of $25 that they sell.

The law does not require a company to provide a warranty but if there is one provided then it has to be clear and concise to the consumer.

4. Patio Slabs - Emulate the Look with Brick and Gravel
November 16, 2009
You can easily emulate the way expensive patio slabs look by using bricks or gravel. A brick patio can look attractive, especially with a period house or a cottage garden setting, and the bricks can be fond in colors ranging from creamy yellow to near-blue. They are the easiest choice of paving to re-create garden patio slabs and can also match the brickwork of a wall or the house. They can, however, become slippery in the wet and they tend to attract moss and lichens, which can be kept in check by the application of household bleach or moss killer. Bricks are difficult to lay well but ... (read more)

18. Understanding Lost Opportunity Cost

Enacted in 1975 by the Congress is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. One of its goals is to encourage businesspeople to write their warranties in a “simple and readily understood” language.
It is important to have a well-written warranty as it functions more effectively as a legal instrument defining the rights and obligations of your consumers and company. It is also an effective selling tool as it creates confidence in your product and lessens hassle on the customers as it tells what steps to take if ever any problem arises.
