Article: If you haven't installed your lawn yet, read our detailed guide, or follow this basic checklist to get started:  Remove old grass and weeds using a grape hoe or sod cutter. If necessary, apply glyphosate or another broadleaf herbicide to remove these weeds. Follow label instructions and wait the required time after applying before breaking and prepping the soil.  Grade your soil to a 1 or 2% slope running away from buildings.   Perform a soil test or send soil samples to a local university extension or a garden center that offers soil testing services.  Improve soil if necessary based on soil test results, then gently rake in starter fertilizer. Water the soil and let settle for one week.  Fill a garden roller ⅓ full of water and roll lightly over the soil. . Take your time selecting a grass species. Lawn care will be much easier if the grass is suited to your climate, soil type, and use patterns. Research the specific species, not just "cool season" or "warm season" grass.  You'll also choose between seed and sod (turf). Seed is cheaper and easier to install, but can take months to become usable. Pick sod if you want a lawn sooner, and are willing to spend the time and effort. Sod should be moist, with no dry or cracked areas. . Break up the lawn into sections to make this task more manageable. Follow these instructions:  To plant seeds: Using a lawn spreader, sow half the seeds walking in parallel rows. Sow the other half in rows at right angles to the first rows. Lightly rake ⅛ inch (3 mm) of soil over the seeds.  To install sod: Remove a few inches of soil, so the new sod will end up level with the surrounding area. Lay the sod end to end in staggered rows, as though laying bricks. Trim edges to fit with a utility knife. Follow these guidelines to keep a new lawn healthy:  Seeds: Water right after sowing, lightly to avoid washing away the seeds. Repeat every other day or as often as needed to keep the soil moist, as seeds may die when dried out. This danger has passed once the seed has germinated and grass blades appear, usually about 10–14 days after planting. Sod: Water well after installing, then use a full lawn roller to compact the sod against the soil base. From then on, water in the early morning 10 days. Water heavily enough to wet the soil underneath the sod, but avoid overwatering that can lift the sod rolls up from the soil. Avoid walking on new sod for the first week after installation, and go easy on it for the first month. Seed takes longer to become established. Stay off it until blades appear, then use as lightly as possible for six months.  Once a seed-grown lawn reaches a height of 2–3 inch (5–7.5cm), roll it with an empty garden roller. Do not mow a seed-grown lawn until it is 3 or 4 inches (7.5–10cm) tall, then mow no more than ½ inch (1.25 cm) every few days until the lawn is healthy and well-established.

Problem: Article: When the lucky bamboo offshoot has had about a month to grow new roots, you can transfer it to its own vase. Fill the bottom of a jar or vase with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of pebbles, marbles, or gravel. Place the stalk into the jar, setting the bottom firmly in the pebbles to keep it upright. Fill the vase with about 4 inches (10 cm) of fresh, dechlorinated water. You can also plant the lucky bamboo in the vase with the other lucky bamboo that you took the cutting from. Lucky bamboo that’s grown in water needs a regular supply of fresh water. Every 30 days, drain the water in the vase and replace it with new water that’s been bottled, distilled, or left out to dechlorinate. If the water evaporates quickly throughout the month, top off the vase with fresh water. Lucky bamboo also thrives in soil. Find a small pot that’s at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) deep, and that has good drainage holes. Fill the pot with a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus potting soil. Press the bottom of the lucky bamboo stalk 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the soil. Water the soil, and keep the soil slightly moist at all times.  Use bottled, distilled, or otherwise dechlorinated water to water the bamboo. Fertilize the soil with a lucky bamboo fertilizer or diluted liquid house plant fertilizer to help the bamboo grow. Bamboo needs lots of bright light to thrive, but it will burn quickly in direct sun. Find a bright location for the bamboo, such as a partially shaded windowsill, where it will get lots of light every day.
Summary: Transfer the bamboo to a larger vase. Change the water monthly. Plant the lucky bamboo in soil as an alternative. Place the bamboo in bright, indirect light.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most Nokia phones come with their own data cables. Use these to plug and connect your phone to your computer. If you don’t have a data cable, you can connect via Bluetooth. If your phone has Bluetooth, turn it on and have your phone and your computer pair up. If this is your first time to link the two devices, you will be asked for a passcode that you would need to enter in both devices.

SUMMARY: Connect with a data cable. Enter a passcode is necessary.

When giving directions, don’t rush. Enunciate every word you say. Take time to explain important factors like potential hazards or detours. If you don’t speak slowly and clearly, the person may get confused or may miss an important piece of information. Use the names of roads as they’re marked on street signs and road maps. Avoid using road names only used by locals. In addition, don’t refer to people’s homes as landmarks. Any examples you use should be ones that can be recognizable to someone from outside your community. Even if all locals know the highway as the “Parkway East,” refer to it as “I-376 East,” which is what the road signs read. Even if you think they might be a bit familiar with the place, give directions as if the person knows nothing of local landmarks, main roads, or even the names of roads. Provide all of the information they need to get to their destination. They can always let you know if you’re giving more detail than is necessary. Avoid things like “Remember where Joe’s old house was? You’ll turn right after that” and go with “You’ll turn right at the stoplight onto 11th Street, which comes about half a block past where Joe used to live.” Be direct and ask "Do you have any questions about the route?" Asking will allow the person to clarify any part of the route they might not fully understand. In addition, it will give them the opportunity to ask you for the location of any other places they may be interested in visiting. Suggest that the person summarize the directions you’ve just given to them. This way, you’ll be able to make sure that they understood you completely. Then, if they did misunderstand or mis-hear you, you’ll be able to correct them. If they seem to be struggling with the directions you’ve given in “route perspective” form, consider trying “survey perspective” instead — that is, replacing visual landmarks with mileages and north, south, etc.

Speak slowly and clearly. Avoid using words, phrases, or names that only locals will know. Don’t assume the person knows anything about the area. Ask the person if they have any questions. Request that they repeat the directions to you.
