Q: You'll need to confirm that the base of your lawn site will be a good fit for the sod you'll order. For about US$15.00 your local extension will send it to a lab for analysis. You can fix existing problems by grading, as you prepare for sod to arrive:  Avoid too much slope for your new lawn. The maximum slope is about twelve inches for every four feet.  If your slope is greater than that you might need to build a retaining wall. Use a hose to water the site for your new lawn.  Note areas where puddles have formed. Use a rake to fill in the low areas on your lawn with soil from the high spots. Be sure the finished grade is level with the areas surrounding your lawn site. If the soil test report suggests you need soil amendments, allow an additional 2 inches (5 cm) of depth to accommodate them. This will generally be a mix of two to three turf grasses, ordered from a sod farm or a garden center. Let the supplier know your lawn's sun conditions before placing the order. Measure the square-footage of your lawn carefully so that you can order the right amount of sod. It’s best to go over a bit to cover cutting around curves . . . about 5% over should do the trick. Two people could cover about a thousand square feet of sod in a day. If your yard is bigger, consider getting a little help from your friends to install the sod as quickly as possible. Lay the sod as follows:  Lay your first strip in the longest straight section of your yard. Keep off the sod during installation. Pat down the sod so that it’s flat against the soil beneath it. Lay the next row of sod.  Cut the sod in half first and lay it in a staggered design (as bricks are laid). Roll out each roll in the same direction. If rolled in different directions, your lawn will look uneven (at least at first), and the seams may be harder to lay with adjacent strips. Make sure the sections of sod are snug against each other, without overlapping. Continue this process for your whole lawn, cutting sections and staggering them as you lay them down. You can cut holes in the sod for ground sprinklers if you plan on using them. Use a knife to trim the sections of sod that abut paved areas. Fill a lawn roller half full with water and walk over your lawn in various directions. This will press down the sod so its root base is firmly in contact with the soil, encouraging them to grow together. Water just to the point of puddling, then stop. Depending on the weather, you may need to repeat this more than once a day to prevent the seeds from drying out. Avoid overwatering, which can prevent good soil contact and encourage fungal diseases if left damp overnight. Keep foot traffic on the sod to a minimum in the early stages. When the grass reaches about 3 inches (8 cm) cut it down to 2 inches.  The grass is still fragile, so use a regular lawnmower rather than heavier equipment.  Grass in the heat of summer will fare better if allowed to grow taller and cut on the mower's highest setting. The taller growth helps retain moisture at ground level. After three to four weeks growth, add fertilizer to the lawn. This will replace nutrients lost to watering and wet weather.
A: Test your soil. Grade the soil for your new lawn. Buy your sod. Lay the sod the same day it arrives. Roll out the lawn. Water the newly sodded lawn frequently. Mow and fertilize the lawn.

Q: Treating a guy well involves doing nice things for him from time to time, so why not let yourself in on the action and plan a fun date together!  Do the classic dinner and a movie if you haven't done that in a while, or try something a bit more adventurous like going paintballing, taking a dance class or attending a concert. Even a quiet night in can be jazzed up with a few candles, some romantic music and a nice bottle of wine! You really can't go wrong with giving your man a massage, especially after a long, stressful day.  Get some nicely scented massage oil, dim the light s(or light some candles) and put on some relaxing music. Invite him to take off his shirt and lie down. Work your way up his back and across his shoulders, focusing on any knots or areas of tension. He'll feel so good afterwards he might just fall straight asleep! Every so often, it doesn't hurt to get all dressed up for your man and make him feel lucky to have you. You'll feel like a million dollars when you see the appreciative look on his face!  Do all the things you used to do when you first started dating -- spend three hours getting ready if that's what it takes -- shaving and moisturizing and applying makeup and curling hair. Put on your best dress and a pair of killer heels -- now you're all set for whatever the evening may bring , whether it's a night on the dance floor or a romantic evening at home. Nearly all men appreciate when a woman has an adventurous side in the bedroom, so unleash yours and watch your guy become putty in your hands!.  Try taking the lead if you're normally the one who just goes with the flow -- experiment with tying your man down or handcuffing him to the bed if that's what he's into. Remember that sexual intimacy is an important part of any healthy relationship, so don't withhold sex if you're feeling angry -- work things out in the bedroom!
A: Plan a fun date. Give him a massage. Look your best. Be adventurous in the bedroom.

Q: Yellow jackets are attracted by food waste, so if your garbage cans are open, you may be luring them in. Use tight-fitting lids to seal your garbage cans, both indoors and outdoors, to discourage yellow jackets from roaming around your property. A bowl of Fido’s kibble on the patio could be attracting yellow jackets to your home. Rather than leaving pet food and other sources of protein outdoors, be sure to store these items inside your home or garage. It’s best to store pet food in airtight containers. Dispose of any leftover food in the bowl once your pet is done eating. If you have holes in the exterior of your home, even if they are quite small, yellow jackets can get inside. Inspect your siding, screens, vents, and door jambs for holes. If necessary, replace the screens or weather stripping, or use caulk to seal up holes. If you see yellow jackets flying around your home or property, you can use a hanging trap to catch them. These traps use a sugar solution to lure the yellow jackets into a small hole. They cannot get out of the trap and will die.
A: Put tight-fitting lids on your garbage cans. Keep pet food inside. Seal any holes in your exterior. Set hanging traps to catch yellow jackets.

Q: If you are the primary user of the computer, you are likely already logged in as an admin. If you are not the primary user and need to make an admin account, read our article about the topic for both Windows 7 & Vista, and Windows 8 Open up regedit – Windows' built-in registry editor tool – by pressing the Windows key, typing "regedit," then pressing ↵ Enter. You will be asked whether or not you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer. Click "yes." Click the File tab in the upper-left corner of the Registry Editor window to reveal a dropdown menu. Backing up the registry essentially means you are exporting a copy of everything currently in the registry to a location on your computer. This is important because if you make a mistake when editing the registry, you can cause serious problems. You will want a back-up in case you mess something up. Select a location on your computer to save the copy of the registry to. Try to make the place somewhere secure. Don't save it on to a flash drive or other external hard drive.
