INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keep the stem on the plant until the entire lily dies in the fall. Then take pruning shears or scissors and cut the stem off near the soil. By this point, the plant will have stored enough energy to put on new growth in the spring. To protect the bulbs from frost, apply a few inches of mulch to the area where you planted the Easter lilies. It's fine to cover the area completely because the new lilies will grow up through the mulch. Don't remove the mulch until you start to see new growth in the spring. Once you see new lily shoots that are 3 in (7.5 cm) above the soil, mix a fertilizer into the soil of the lily bed. This will give the plant nutrients it needs to put on growth during the spring. Use a 5-10-10 fertilizer (5% nitrogen-10% phosphorus-10% potassium).

SUMMARY: Cut the stem down to the soil. Spread mulch over the lily bed. Fertilize the lily bed once new shoots emerge.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you notice that some of the foliage is turning yellow, but not brown, leave it alone. The yellow stalks won’t affect the overall health of your plant, and cutting them down early actually decreases the amount of energy the plant can produce. Once the first frost has occurred, your lily plant no longer needs the energy produced by the foliage stalks. Use your shears to cut the yellow foliage stalks down to the ground. If quite a few of the leaves on one stem are brown, you should remove the entire stem. Follow the stem to the base of the lily plant, then use pruning shears to cut off the entire stem. Be sure you don’t leave a stub at the base of the plant. If you notice that just the tips of the leaves on your lily plant are browning, you don’t need to remove the whole stem. Instead, make an angled clip just below the browning tip. The plant should grow a new healthy green tip.

SUMMARY: Leave yellowing or browning stalks until the fall. Prune back yellow stalks after the first frost. Remove entire stems of mostly brown leaves. Clip the tips of browning leaves.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many people are surprised to know that, with the necessary information, anyone can be added as an authorized user on a bank account. However, adding someone to your account gives them access to your finances and that puts you in an incredibly vulnerable position. It is not recommended you add anyone if you have not firmly established a personal or professional relationship with that person.   You should select someone you can fully trust or someone who is as invested on keeping the account's integrity intact as you are. The majority of authorized user relationships are couples, parent/child, and employer/employee. Remember, the more established your relationship with the person the better. Most of the time, you can add authorized users over the phone or online. Bank policies do vary and your specific bank might have special requirements depending on your circumstances.   Call your bank and ask them how to add a user. Some banks can do this over the phone or online, but you may have to go in to discuss the issue in person or fill out a paper application. Any questions you have should be addressed with the bank. Ask them how to remove an authorized user or joint account holder and what your exact financial responsibilities are in regards to the card's use. Remember, you're taking a risk by giving someone access to your finances. You should go in with as much information as possible. Make sure you have all the information necessary before attempting to add the user. Most banks require the following information to add a user to your account:   The user's name Their date of birth Their social security number Your bank might want other information depending on their policies. Check their requirements beforehand to make sure you have everything you need before setting things up.

SUMMARY: Know who can be added to an account. Find out your bank's policy. Gather the needed information.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The reset button is a small, circular button normally found on the back of the router and labeled accordingly in red ink. The “Power” LED should blink as you press and hold the reset button. Older Linksys routers may require you to press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.  Your router password is now reset, and the default password should be left blank when logging into the router.

SUMMARY:
Locate the “Reset” button on your Linksys router. Verify that the router is powered on, then press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds. Disconnect and reconnect the router to its power source after the reset is complete. Wait for the “Power” LED to remain in a solid state, which should take approximately one minute after you’ve reconnected the router to its power source.
