a: Lawn aeration ~
b: acupuncture for the grass
What: We're going to talk about lawn aeration right now. Why should you aerate your lawn and what is it? Lawn aeration is like acupuncture for the grass. Soil that has breathing room is better able to absorb water, oxygen, nitrogen, and other nutrients from fertilizer. Soil that is hard packed or trampled down does not have much room, if any, for nutrients to reach down to the grass roots."

a: Company name in the possessive form ~
b: having a movie camera tilted down
What: "In our last tune-up, we explained how using your company name in the possessive form is like having a movie camera tilted down at its subject. It makes the subject appear less important because the viewer can "look down" upon it. This is what happens when we use the phrase, "Palm's world-class ease of use.""
