  Ditch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ditch can be used for drainage, to drain water from low lying areas, alongside roadways or fields, or to channel water from a more distant source for plant irrigation.
Ditches are commonly seen around farmland especially in areas that have required drainage, such as The Fens in the UK and the pro-water management The Netherlands.
In Mediaeval fortification, a ditch was often constructed in front of a defensive wall to hinder sapping and escalade.

 Ditch Maintenance
Ditch assessments, or special assessments as listed on your tax bill, are a fund established by the county to maintain drainage ditches.
Therefore, properties closest to a ditch are assessed a higher percentage than properties at the outer edge of the watershed.
Also, not all drainage ditches are maintained; therefore, if the property is bordering or outside of the watershed, there may not be an assessment for maintenance.

 Osceola Ditch, Great Basin National Park   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
In 1884-85 the Osceola Gravel Mining Company constructed a 16 mile ditch, known as the West Ditch, to carry the water from six creeks on the west side of the Snake Range to their placer operations.
The Osceola Ditch was completed on July 4, 1890 at a cost of $108,223, an expensive gamble in a business where profitable yields were not guaranteed.
In 1891 both ditches were being used in operations, and by June 17 the mine was running twenty-four hours a day.

 Neil Young's Ditch Trilogy
Because of their dark, haunting brilliance, the albums are known as "The Ditch Trilogy".
Certainly at the time of release, it was almost unprecedented for an artist to release a live concert recording of previously unreleased material.
The edgy moody darkness of recording and brilliantly erratic song selection offer the portrait of the artist undergoing a deep catharsis and excorcising demons which is so palpable that most listeners turned away -- or worse ignored completely.

 "ditch" definition from Double-Tongued Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)

The AP newswire has reported that Lennox ditched in line at a multi-plex last night in front of a 64 year old lady.

 Double Ditch - North Dakota State Historic Site
Double Ditch Indian Village, overlooking the Missouri River, was a large earthlodge village inhabited by Mandan Indians between about 1500 and 1781.
According to Mandan oral history, Double Ditch was one of seven to nine villages occupied at the same time near the mouth of the Heart River.
This catastrophe appears to be responsible for the abandonment of Double Ditch and all the other Mandan villages near the Heart River.

The gesture, which I imagine was conceived as a way of sending up Ditch Plains's down-market menu and upscale prices, tracked more like a pie in the face than a wink and a nudge.
But they've also eschewed proper stemware at Ditch Plains, making that $52 bottle of very good white Burgundy seem a little less of a bargain than it would be if one didn't have to drink it out of tumblers.
Ditch Plains has their hand in your pocket from the first ice cube (which you pay extra for) to the lackluster dessert.

 Ditch the Pitch
In addition to bringing these cases through the federal-state "Operation Ditch the Pitch," the Commission is launching a consumer education campaign, including a redesigned Web site on telemarketing fraud (www.ftc.gov/telemarketing) to help consumers tell the difference between con artists who use cold calls to defraud them and legitimate telemarketers.
In addition to the FTC and FTC/state complaints, the states of Oklahoma and North Carolina took separate actions against RandR, and the states of Virginia and Oregon filed Assurances of Voluntary Compliance against six additional defendants as part of the federal/state operation targeting cold call telemarketing fraud.
In the Commission's complaints against the companies targeted in "Operation Ditch the Pitch," each defendant is accused of violating Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) and the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) through its fraudulent and deceptive cold calling and telemarketing operations.

Maybe that tour took up all his time and he had nothing left for his new album, but in any case, Ditch down right stinks.
I am probably one of the biggest Hate Dept fans and lovers of industrial music, so in writing this review do not think that I just don't understand industrial and can't appreciate it.
