Ringleader and 3 Conspirators Sentenced for Using Forged Checks to Defraud Merchants and Bank of over $250,000
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William M. Nickerson sentenced Charlie Lee Hamlette, a/k/a "Bobo" and "Bo," age 32, of Baltimore, today to 70 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiring to commit bank and mail fraud in connection with a scheme to use forged checks to unlawfully obtain merchandise and cash. Judge Nickerson also ordered Hamlette to pay restitution of $98,714, which the court determined to be the full amount of the loss.
Today, Judge Nickerson also sentenced co-defendants Frederick L. Graham, age 37, of Baltimore, to 18 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, and sentenced Marcella D. Woods, age 33, and Joanique J. Ragin, age 29, both also of Baltimore, each to three years probation, for their roles in the scheme. Judg Nickerson also ordered the co-defendants to pay restitution, including $39,626 for Marcella Woods.
The sentences were announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Barbara Golden of the United States Secret Service – Baltimore Field Office; Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III; Colonel Terrence Sheridan, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police; the District Attorney's Office for Delaware County, Pennsylvania and the Upper Darby Police Department in Pennsylvania.
According to their plea agreements, from 2007 to 2008, Hamlette recruited and paid co-defendants Joanique J. Ragin, Marcella D. Woods, and others, to help him cash forged checks drawn on the names of fictitious companies. The forged checks were made to look like company checks that were written to the merchants as payees. The conspirators then signed their own names and used their identifications when presenting the checks at merchant stores. Hamlette and others made over 300 purchases for a total of over $254,458 worth of goods in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Hamlette met Frederick Graham, a/k/a "Country," when Graham was operating as an unlicensed taxi cab driver, also known as a "hack." Between March and June 2008, Graham drove Hamlette and other co-conspirators to the stores where they used the forged checks to obtain goods. On several occasions Graham drove Hamlette to locations to sell the property he had unlawfully obtained. For these services, Hamlette paid Graham in cash.
Hamlette, Graham and others also forged checks of actual companies using the bank routing and account numbers of those companies without their knowledge, to cash checks at a bank for a total of $4,058.71.
This law enforcement action is part of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the U.S. Secret Service, Baltimore Police Department, the Maryland State Police, the Delaware County District Attorney's Office and the Upper Darby Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Judson T. Mihok, who prosecuted the case.

Physical Therapist Agrees to an Indefinite Stayed Suspension
Physical Therapist Agrees to an Indefinite Stayed Suspension
Primack violated Board regulations by engaging in inappropriate conduct with a female patient while administering therapeutic massage during an appointment in April 2003. The consent agreement indicates that Primack made improper and unprofessional overtures and references of a highly personally nature to his patient during the course of the therapy.
Within the first 90 days of the stayed suspension, Primack will be required to undergo a psychological evaluation that will include a qualified mental health professional's opinion as to the likelihood of Primack's engaging in similar inappropriate conduct as well as his willingness and ability to maintain professional boundaries with patients in the future. Primack may not petition the Board for lifting of his suspension or restoration of his license to good standing for a three-year period beginning on April 29, 2004.
"I commend the Board for taking decisive action and holding the licensee accountable for his unprofessional conduct", said Anne L. Collins, Director of the Division of Professional Licensure.
Consumers are urged to visit the Division of Professional Licensure's website at www.mass.gov/reg and select the "check a license" option to determine whether a professional they are considering doing business with is licensed and in good standing.
The Division of Professional Licensure is an agency within the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. It is responsible for ensuring the integrity of the licensing process for 43 trades and professions regulated by 29 boards of registration, the updating and renewal of approximately 330,000 licenses and the maintenance of databases for licensing, enforcement, and revenue collection. In fiscal year 2004, the Division of Professional Licensure imposed record levels of enforcement, including 829 disciplinary actions, $128,000 in fines and returned more than $25,000 in refunds to consumers.

Ex-SAC Manager Martoma Appears In Court
Former SAC Capital Advisors portfolio manager Mathew Martoma, charged in what prosecutors called the biggest-ever insider trading case, appeared in federal court in New York.
Martoma, 38, is accused of using illegal tips about a clinical trial of an Alzheimer's disease drug to help SAC, the hedge-fund company founded by Steven Cohen, make $276 million on shares of Elan and Wyeth. He was arrested at his Boca Raton, Fla., home on Nov. 20 and freed on $5 million bond. He appeared Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge James Cott in Manhattan.
The defense and prosecution agreed Monday to a modified bail package under which the $5 million bond must be secured by $2 million in cash or property, as well as signatures from three instead of two financially responsible people. Martoma, who surrendered his and his children's travel documents, is limited to Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and parts of New York.
The defendant, wearing a gray jacket, dark pants, a sweater and tie, was accompanied by his wife, Rosemary. He didn't speak during the 13-minute court appearance except to tell the judge he understood he could be arrested if he violated the bail terms. Martoma, holding hands with his wife, emerged from the courtroom after the proceeding into a crowd of reporters.
He is charged with conspiracy and two counts of securities fraud, a crime that carries a maximum 20-year prison term. Defense lawyer Charles Stillman has said he expects his client to be exonerated.
Before and after the court appearance, Martoma and his wife chatted with defense lawyers, smiling. Rosemary Martoma, a pediatrician, sat straight-backed as she listened to Cott and the lawyers discuss bail. At the end of the hearing, picking up their coats and bags, she joked, "I'm the bag lady."
Martoma was allowed to remain free Monday on his signature and that of his wife. The judge set the next court appearance for Dec. 26. Stillman said the parties may agree to change the date.
"We took care of business today and we'll be back another day," Stillman said outside court.
The government says Martoma got tips about the drug, bapineuzumab, from Sidney Gilman, a University of Michigan neurologist who was overseeing part of the trial. Prosecutors have reached a non-prosecution agreement with Gilman, who is cooperating with the investigation.
Prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has sued Martoma, have linked SAC founder Cohen to the case, although he isn't identified by name in their complaints. A person familiar with the matter said Cohen is the person identified in the criminal complaint as "Hedge Fund Owner" and in the SEC's suit as "Investment Advisor A."
Martoma denies wrongdoing, and Cohen hasn't been sued or charged. A spokesman for the SAC founder, Jonathan Gasthalter, has denied any wrongdoing and said Stamford, Conn.-based SAC is cooperating with the government.

I had to steal this from Soldier's Angels this morning:
"I do not always agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. " -Voltaire
Yesterday, I felt glued to my computer. Why? The budget of course! I'm more concerned with funding the troops, not for personal reasons because we'd be okay, but more for those who can not go without a full paycheck.
I guess I've never really watched the House debate things. I've watched CSPAN for a couple minutes here and there. I've been to the Capitol building. I've never watched a bill be passed…or vetoed. It.Is.Crazy! There I was, in my kitchen…furious. Instead of talking about troop pay, they are talking about debit card fees. Yeah, that's super important (okay, maybe it is, I don't know. I love the troops more than I love debit card fees that stores pay).
Put our troops first, people! I know there is debt. We can figure that out, but lets not wait and figure it out at the cost of troop morale (because without a doubt, it WILL be impacted). I can only bake so many cookies (haha)!
In my kitchen, watching HoR banter then this press conference pops up and all I see is this guy.
Look at this guy. Who is he?! He looks MAD! Oh…he's a Marine…that makes sense. Grrrrr…
I would like to go to the HoR and let my 3 year old sort all of this out. I asked her how she felt about it and here is what she said.
Me: How do you feel about what is going on?
Child 1: I feel hurt.
Me: Why do you feel hurt?
Child 1: My finger.
Me: What's wrong with it?
Child 1: It hurts.
Me: Are you concerned?
Child 1: I has a itchy heart.
Me: Is that bad?
Child 1: Nooo.
Me: So what do you think about the budget?
Child 1: I don't know.
Me: What do you mean you don't know?
Child 1: What?!
Me: About the deficit and budget.
Child 1: What's that?
Me: Debt
Child 1: *Gasp* WHAT?!
Me: I know, it's crazy.
Child 1: Yeah. I can't like it!
Me: How are you going to fix it?
Child 1: I eat it!
See? She can really get stuff done. Bright, that one. She'll eat the deficit and I'll bake something.
Stromboli. It's seriously easy, seriously quick and seriously delicious.
Buy premade pizza dough (unless you are an over-achiever like me and want to make it from scratch). You'll need a little more than a pound.
Meat. I used Hot Capicola, salami and pepperoni. (half a pound each)
Cheese. I used provolone and parmesan (half a pound of provolone and 1 cup of parm)
I also added some red pepper for flavor
Quarter the dough and roll out to 9×7 rectangles. Lay out the provolone out making sure the leave 1 inch around the perimeter of the dough. Layer the meats and then sprinkle the parm (should be freshly grated) and red peppers. Roll tightly, pinch ends and give it an egg wash (I sprinkled a bit of salt on top). Repeat with other three balls of dough and meats.
Preheat oven to 425. Place on a piece of parchment (or SilPat) Bake covered with foil for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
This was sooooo incredibly good. Super easy to make and absolutely delicious. Even my husband commented on how easy they are to make.
For dessert…Boston Cream Pie. One of my very favorite things. Junky picture, yummy cake. Cake, pastry custard and chocolate, doesn't get much better than that.
If for whatever reason Congress can not get it's self together. Spouses, remember, we're some of the toughest people around. We can survive deployments, training, etc…there is no reason we can't survive this too. To my Navy and Marine Corps readers, remember that in the event of a shutdown, NMCRS will be available to help if you need it (I'd say…use this as a last resort, but before going to a loan shark in a dark alley). Put a smile on, hold your head high, call your bank, lean on your fellow milfam's if you need to (hey I'm always good for a dinner or two!). Let's continue to support each other, as we always have/do.

Bakker Family and Friends
Cuts for Canadian Kids
About Our Quest |
This is a hair-cutting and fund-raising quest. A group of family/friends is cutting their hair and donating so that free wigs can be provided to Canadian kids who have suffered from a disease such as cancer. We are hoping to raise a bit of money for Angel Hair for Kids in addition to providing them with a number of ponytails. The hair cutting day is Sunday, September 29. It will be a private, in-home event, as some of us are shy and would prefer to avoid large crowds. Although the hair-cutting day is quickly approaching, we would like to keep the quest going in order to exceed our goal and help out Angel Hair for Kids even more. We would like to especially thank Liz Ruck, our hairdresser. Liz has offered to donate her time and talents as this event is benefitting children with cancer. Thanks so much Liz!! Although this is a private event we will be posting pictures to the photo gallery as we go, so that you our supporters can see the event unfold. Many thanks to Jennifer McDowell who will be our photographer for the day!! |
Exceeded our Goal!!
With cash donations collected we are now over $1000!!!

Hi, this is my first year growing garlic. I have a nice small bed of hardneck varieties that made it nicley through the winter and are about 8 inches tall. We are getting a late winter storm tonight with 6 to 8 inches of snow expected and about 29 degree weather. Should I run out and add a bunch of straw mulch, it has some around the base but everything has grown up through it. Thanks for any suggestions! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Garlic should pretty much laugh at a few inches of snow - the worst I'd guess is that you might get just a bit of browning on the tips. My garlic has been through -5 uncovered this winter and is just emerging from the 1 1/2 feet of snow we got on the 17th and it's there's only little leaf burn and they will grow out of it as soon as the ground unfreezes enough. |

Charter Schools
Public schools are funded using public funds. See below. Both are considered PUBLIC SCHOOLS! Are the citizens of Fayette County that unhappy with their existing public schools that they want to withdraw their students and support private schools. Public funds - tax payer money - support Charter Schools.
What Are Public Charter Schools?
Charter schools are independent public schools allowed freedom to be more innovative, while being held accountable for improved student achievement. They foster a partnership between parents, teachers and students to create an environment in which parents can be more involved, teachers are given the freedom to innovate and students are provided the structure they need to learn, with all three held accountable for improved student achievement.
What makes charter schools public schools?
Public charter schools are intended to improve our nation's public school system. Charter schools are public schools because, while they operate independently of the school district, they are:
tuition-free and open to every student who wishes to enroll
non-sectarian, and do not discriminate on any basis
publicly funded by local, state and federal tax dollars based on enrollment, like other public schools
held accountable to state and federal academic standards
How Do Charter Schools Work?
Charter schools are free to innovate in ways that improve student achievement. Here are some specific examples of how charter schools do it:
Offer longer school days. Charter schools are designed to be free to set their own operating hours. If the school strives to boost student achievement by giving students more time in the classroom, the school can offer classes into the evening, on weekends and into the summer months.
Adjust curriculum to meet student needs. A charter school can breakup the day to provide students with more time on the core subjects they need most. Charter school teachers have a say in the curriculum they teach and frequently change materials mid-year if they need to in order to meet students' needs.
Create a unique school culture. Charter schools build upon the core academic subjects by creating a culture or adopting a theme. For example, there are charter schools focused on STEM education, performing arts, project-based learning, college preparation, career readiness, language immersion, civic engagement, classical education, global awareness or meeting the needs of autistic students – just to name a few.
Develop next generation learning models. Charter schools are completely rethinking the meaning of the word "classroom." In Hawaii, students learn biology with the sky as their ceiling and the ocean as the classroom. Virtual schools, which exist completely online, use technology to change the dynamics of the classroom. Others combine virtual classroom time with classroom time in a physical school building. In either case, students can learn from experts located anywhere in the world. Excellent charter school management companies like KIPP and Uncommon Schools are codifying how to build an excellent teacher
Most public schools follow a traditional organization mode that in many communities is failing today's child. Both organization styles' require outstanding teachers with expertise in meeting the needs of students.

My immediately preceding telegram.
Following is the text.
Begins- I have asked several of my Indonesia colleagues to come here to discuss the situation. We are glad to have had the opportunity to see Pandit Nehru for 30 minutes. It is now clear that India, Pakistan and Burma will indeed not remain idle spectators in the present Dutch military, aggression. These three countries are prepared to take strong measures which I am sorry I cannot disclose as yet. Whatever steps had already been taken are already in the press. And whatever stronger measures will be taken depend upon the decision of the Security Council. I am glad of the news that Australia has already expressed her feelings in a most strong manner. Public opinion all over the world is now very strongly against the Dutch and we can expect in the very near future the closing of any kind of Dutch communication transport from the Middle East down to Australia. In Indonesia the people are determined to carry on the struggle for any period by the means of guerrilla warfare and I am sure they will be all the more so determined after hearing of insulting treatment President Soekarno and the other leaders have received from the Dutch.

To the extent possible, those crafting new strategies to divert air travelers away from low-
occupancy vehicle strategies should familiarize themselves with the experience of others around
the world who have created successful airport ground access services. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 were
created to help transfer the lessons learned from major airport ground access systems around the
world for application by the U.S. airport manager.
Best Practices in the United States: Establishing the Process
The following practices are some of the many good examples of coordination with the regional
transportation planning organizations that exist in the United States:
� The role of the San Francisco Bay MTC in the planning of airport access improvements in the
Bay Area and in continued management of the ground access surveying process.
� The role of the Denver Regional Council of Governments in undertaking a comprehensive

segmentation In Step 2, the airport manager must create a database upon which to plan and monitor the
for the ground services and facilities for improved airport access. This step is critical because the improvements
to airport access must be based on a clear understanding of the market behavior of the several
access trips submarkets for airport ground access services. The airport ground access survey is the primary

process. Such a survey can be expected to cost between $100,000 and $300,000. Without this

geographic origin of the ground access trip, time of day, the trip purpose, and the resi-
dency status of the traveler. TCRP Report 62 (16) describes the use of additional market
research techniques, including focus groups. A comprehensive process of market research can
include both survey methods that rely on "stated preference" and methods that rely on
"revealed preference."
Demographic Elements
Categories of Trip Purpose. The survey must be designed to support geographic segmen-
tation and demographic segmentation. The point of origin must be defined with enough clarity
that it can be integrated with geographic information systems. The origin of the ground access
trip can be determined by either the zip code of origin or an address specific enough to support
geocoding in the data entry process. The designer of the survey must deal with a basic trade-off
between the amount of data desired and the need to keep the survey short. Specific trip purposes
such as medical, personal business, school, or vacation are not needed for analyses of airport
access. For the airport access survey, the most important trip purpose differentiation is simply
"business" versus "non-business."
Categories of Residential Status. The second element of the demographic segmentation
concerns the residential status of the traveler. As documented in Chapter 2, the mode choice
decision of the traveler at the non-home end of the full trip is fundamentally different than the
mode choice decision in the geographic area in which the traveler resides. The level of automo-
bile availability (whether for the drop-off mode or the drive�park mode) is substantially higher
at the home end than at the non-home end of the trip. In addition, the level of familiarity with
the details of the public transportation system is usually much lower at the non-home end of the
trip. For these reasons, the survey must be designed to properly differentiate between the trav-
eler commencing the ground access trip in his/her own residential area and the traveler com-
mencing the trip in the non-home end of the journey.
With these two elements of information, all travelers can be easily categorized into four clearly
defined market segments, sometimes referred to as "the four-cell matrix." The market research
process recommended in this project requires the creation of these demographic market segments:
� Resident business
� Resident non-business
� Non-resident business
� Non-resident non-business
Why Look at Separate Market Segments?
These four separate market segments can be applied to a wide cross section of U.S. and European/
Asian airport ground access markets. Importantly, none of these categories can be applied as a
"cookie cutter" approach to predicting behavior. The four market segments allow several subsets of
the market to be observed separately. Successful strategies offer a variety of public mode services, at
a variety of prices. At a given airport, a multistop bus service at less than $2 will appeal to a different
market than a door-to-door shared-ride service for $15. At Baltimore/Washington International
Airport during peak hours, travelers are offered multistop MARC commuter rail services to Union
Station for $5 or Amtrak Acela service for more than $30. Some travelers will choose the first train
out (at the higher cost), while others will wait for the lower priced rail service. Their choice is influ-
enced by their demographic market segment.
Danger Areas in Data Collection
The designers of the survey should be aware of the particular data collection pitfalls that exist
for airport access. For the analysis of traffic flow, a category called "bus/limousine/van" may be

Microsoft posted as many as a dozen jobs for the Surface team on the Microsoft Careers site between June and August, according to TechRadar.
"The Surface Team focuses on lighting up Microsoft experiences with touch first computing", begun one of the ads. "A fundamental part of our strategy is having desirable and powerful devices that enable the experiences people want, and elicit their excitement.
"Creating these devices involves a close partnership between hardware and software engineers, designers, and manufacturing. We are currently building the next generation and Surface needs you."
Since announcing the first Surface tablets back in June, there have been signs that Microsoft is keen on remaining in the tablet hardware market.
The software giant announced the Surface as a 'new family of PCs for Windows', while CEO Steve Ballmer has since vowed to leave 'no space uncovered' to Apple in both the hardware and software markets.
The Surface tablet is available in two versions (Surface and Surface Pro) and is due to launch alongside Windows 8 on October 26. Microsoft has not yet announced official prices for the tablets.

In earlier days only a few students opted for commerce stream whereas arts and sciences were more popular streams in collage studies. At that time the meaning of commerce was taken to be a kind of business and commerce was considered to be the expertise of a section of society. Commerce activities were limited to selling and buying of goods and taking stocks of the finance. But now the scenario has changed and Bachelor of Commerce has now become the most sought after stream colleges.
There is a large section of students are inclined to make a career in the commerce stream by studying finance and its other aspects. These students are ready to take up courses and subjects related to commerce in colleges and universities around the world.
Thousands of students appear forentrance exams that are conducted at the start of the academic sessionevery year by various colleges and universities to grab a seat in bachelors or masters courses in the commerce stream.
With so many chances that have come in the educational area and specially in the field of commerce, a lot of competition is seen for admissions. Therefor only a few rank holders are able to get admissions into good colleges offering Bachelor of Commerce courses as the seats are less than the number of applicants. Students therefor work hard hand produce good results once they get admission in the college of their choice.
Bachelor of commerce degrees gives the student the basic knowledge of corporate affairs such as how to structure a business, how tomake foundation of the business strong and how to approach the business to business atmosphere etc. It also enables them to understand and utilize the latest trend in E-commerce.
Graduates with Bachelor of commerce in business section are required to take the basic general education courses, as well as the business courses. In general education during these programs, students would take Math, English and Science courses that help place them at the level they need to be at.
In order to get the top positions in the corporate world a person needs to have through understanding of business ethics and systems. He should also have leadership qualities. Students who are learning business often take leadership course in Bachelor of Commerce. Business owners must be able to take charge and should be smart enough to create ethical and sound foundations for any business relationships. It is a necessary quality of leadership to encourage any employees to cooperate, participate and enjoy what they are accomplishing through the company.
A student can choose from a long list of specialisation in the Bachelor of commerce stream. He can choose business administration, auditing, financial analysis, investment banking, mutual fund, market analysis and many more. There are further specialisations within these branches of commerce. Such wide scope gives student with various intellectual capabilities and personal choices an opportunity to build a satisfying and successful career. It is not hard to understand that why more and more students are going for bachelor of commerce degrees every academic year.

For the most part I found this very long Time article by Steven Brill about the problems with American health care cost to be interesting. It did correctly highlight that the biggest problem is that Americans are overcharged for almost everything related to medicine, but I was thrown off by his bizarre insistence this doesn't include doctors. After making a pretty strong case for Medicare-for-all Brill argues that it won't work because that would somehow turn all doctors into paupers.

One of my players "fell in love" with the Forsaken bounty character Malakai (The Missionary with the chain sword & flamer). He is going to play exactly the same character in RT. When we thought about the name, everyone had the feeling that he heard that name before. Does anyone know a game/movie or what ever where someone is named Malakai? There is a Dwarf in the Gotrek & Felix books, but thats not it.
He really like to roleplay bloody chain sword battles, but he has not read any 40k books. Since he is a Missionary i need some combat prayers or anything else he could shout in a combat or elsewhere.
Some fun questions: The picture of Malakai shows him with a pilgrim's staff in one hand and flamer in the other hand. Can you use a chain sword in one hand and hold the staff in the other hand at the same time, just to look totally awesome? Are the books just made out of paper? Because they would be many blood stains on them

Contact University Scheduling & Conference Services to reserve rooms. The office is located in CSU room 219. Phone: 507-389-2223; E-mail: email@example.com; Web site: www.mnsu.edu/scheduling.
The first step in setting up your RSO for financial activity is obtaining a '9' account. You will need to obtain an account if your RSO deals with money. To do this, see Helen Wenner in the Office of Business Affairs in 236 Wigley Administration or by phone at (507)389-2269.
To apply for a TIN/EIN: The direct address to the PDF of the application is [PDF] http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf (344 KiB) It says employer ID number app, but there is a spot on the app to indicate "Non Profit".
For information and step-by-step instructions on registering your RSO on the new online system, click here. If you are having trouble with any of the online registration components, please contact Student Activities office (CSU 173) 507-389-6076 and ask for:
RSO Graduate Advisor-Steph Stassen or email her (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Groups planning events at establishments that supply alcohol must apply for permission to do so, even if the group does not plan to serve alcohol as part of the event. These forms must be approved by administration before the event happens, and thus must be submitted to Laurie Woodward, Director of the Student Union and Activities far in advance of the desired event.

Without getting into all the copywrite law, which you can read at http://www.swank.com/college/copyright.html , it doesn't matter if the library or an individual owns a particular copy of a film, it cannot be shown publicly without paying licensing fees. It doesn't matter if someone speaks afterward, if it's a documentary, or if the film is educational. The library does have some limited funds to secure documentaries for public showings. Groups may also work with the IMPACT films chair if there is an upcoming new film that would hit the theme you're looking for. Otherwise, groups can obtain public showing licences for films through SWANK motion pictures, Criterion Films, or through the film's producers in the case of smaller independent films.
Please contact the Student Activities office (CSU 173) in addition to Event and Meeting Services if your event has any of the following components: if you are planning an event expecting a large number of people, special parking arrangements, have off-campus vendors, present potential risks, may need security, draw media attention, or you are planning on allowing underage people to come, please see us for assistance. We would like to help make your event successful and safe. See Ashley Strom for assistance in planning.
We will no longer be hosting webpages for RSO's. The new software MavSync (powered by OrgSync) has a website builder for each RSO. If you have questions about this, please contact the RSO Graduate Advisor Steph Stassen at email@example.com.
Web space will be provided but group is responsible for the creating and maintaining for their webpage.
Each RSO is allowed 21 balloons per academic year free of charge (no helium provided), after that the fee is $1 per balloon. To get balloons for an event, fill out the Balloon Request Form at the Student Activities front desk. The office is able to accommadate most requests if they receive them 1 week in advance. Since the office is closed on Saturday and Sunday and helium in the balloon only lasts a maximum of 6-8 hours, RSO's needing balloons for weekend events may want to contact Paper Service Plus at (507)345-7277 or Party City at (507)388-6381 as we will not be able to provide them during that time.
Only RSOs, University departments, non-profit community organizations, and colleges may be given permission to post on University information boards. Bring your flyers to the Student Activities (CSU 173) front desk to be stamped before posting them. For the six posters being hung up in the CSU, take them to Student Union office (CSU 220). They will stamp and hang your posters for you.
RSOs may rent University vehicles for travel on MSU functions. They must obtain the signature of their Faculty/Staff advisor and know that he/she is then responsible for any misuse of the vehicle. For complete regulations call Helen Walters at 389-5649. Make sure to review the newly updated guidelines for using state vehicles at www.mnsu.edu/vehicles.
If your organization is recognized, it will be listed in the RSO Directory. If you think your RSO should be approved, but do not see it in the Directory, please contact Stephanie Stassen (email@example.com) to see where it is in the process. There are many steps to becomming recognized including officer approval, advisor approval, MSSA approval, and finally Student Activities approval. Steph can tell you where your RSO is in the process so that you can move it to the next step.
During the summer, our office is open from 7:30am-4pm Monday-Friday.
Just ask. Go to http://www.mnsu.edu/activities/rso/contact.php to ask a question or leave a comment. More information is also available in the RSO Handbook.

Last month I wrote an article about Christian dating from a man's perspective. I interviewed several single guys in Los Angeles and New York, ranging in age from 28 to 40. I asked how they felt about dating within their church community and their answers were rather surprising. Most had tried it, yet were left feeling disillusioned in the process. As a result, they had chosen to search for love some place else. Over the past month, I've received hundreds of comments from readers who related to the article and had insightful perspectives to add to the conversation. It became clear that there was more to say on this topic. Much more.

Marriage & Birth Control: What's Right For Your Relationship?
So, you found the perfect guy, you settled down and you married him. Now what? Then comes a baby in a baby carriage, right? Well, only if you've had a long talk with your partner and agreed that kids are the next step for your relationship.
Of Memes And Marriage: How These Internet Sensations Can Help You
Can memes have any power during marriage? In a word, yes. (Stay with me now.) According to Dr. Martin Seligman, who was a past president of the American Psychological Association, positive psychology can use memes to "flourish" relationships. To flourish in the psychological sense is to live life abundantly by actively cultivating positive connections.
3 Powerful Marriage Lessons From Easter
We will soon be celebrating Easter. Many of us will be gathering with family and friends to remember Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, and the good news of Sunday morning. Leading up to that day, though, I'd like to reexamine the lessons. There is always something new to learn about Easter, especially when it comes to love. I see several practical marriage lessons in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Why You Should Stop Feeling Entitled To Romantic Love
It's not even that I thought a "hello" wouldn't be well-received. Watching his body language, he seemed open. His face was kind, and his demeanor friendly. So what held me back in those few seconds where I felt uncharacteristically ready to abandon my inherent shyness? For the longest time, I couldn't figure it out. But I think now I know what it was. It was a sense of entitlement.

mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
Thank you everyone. I don't think you can ever really "prepare" for something like this, but it didn't really catch us off guard either. It was just really hard for Brian's mother and his grandfather to wake up to that on Christmas day. They have been making arrangements today. We are so thankful that she isn't in pain anymore. She was very coherent and aware of everything going on up till the end. Her hospice nurse was with her when she passed and said she smiled with her last breath. Her youngest grandson (Brian's brother) got engaged the day before and he was able to share that news with her.
I appreciate all of your prayers. You can never have too many prayers.

Depression in College
Moving away from home, spending long hours studying, making new friends, setting your own schedule—these are the realities that come with becoming a college student. And they are part of the reason why some students become depressed.
If left untreated, depression can lead to eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, and even suicide.
Depression can be triggered by any stressful life change—even if it is a change you choose to do, such as going to college. For many young adults, college is the first major life change they have experienced. College students are in a transitional phase of life, facing such issues as:
- New living arrangements
- The need to monitor your schedule and tend to needs (food, laundry, sleep)
- Academic pressure
- New financial responsibilities
- Changes in relationships with family and friends
- Growing pressures from new relationships, both platonic and romantic
- Sexual identity
- Concerns about life after graduation
What are some ways you can help deal with the changes that come with being a college student? How can you differentiate between normal sadness or homesickness and depression? What should you do if you think you are depressed? How is depression treated? Here is what you need to know.
If you or someone you know is having trouble adjusting to the stresses and changes that come along with college life, here are some coping tips from Mental Health America:
- Make plans for the day. This will help you get organized and feel like you have some control over your work.
- Do your best to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Fatigue can lead to depression.
- Get involved in activities, whether it be an environmental group or sports. Exercise can help to relieve the symptoms of depression.
- Share your feelings with friends. This will help you feel more at ease in your new environment.
- Try different relaxation techniques, such as yoga or meditation.
- Do something just for you.

100 Colorado Creatives: Nikki Pike
#9: Nikki PikeNikki Pike, "Aim," serigraph on newsprint, 2013, one of a series of seven portraits.
Nikki Pike is a poster girl for the new artist: She doesn't do just one thing, she does it all -- from performance to sculpture to installation to multimedia and cross-disciplinary works to art as activism. The former instructor at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design and current RedLine resident also champions the idea of community-driven art, with the goal of creating sustainable solutions through artful collaboration, as evidenced by her participation in projects like the bARTer Collective and Boulder's Flood Project. And Pike's bubbling over with even more ideas, as you'll learn from her 100CC questionnaire.
See also: 100 Colorado Creatives: Lynne Bruning
If you could collaborate with anyone in history, who would it be, and why? The bARTer Collective, one of Nikki Pike's many artistic outlets.
My instinct is to form a collective: Mother Theresa, Augusto Boal, Joseph Beuys, Agnes Denes, Michael Rakowitz, Andrea Zittel, David Sedaris, Che Guevara, Marina Abramovic, Wangari Maathai, Kalle Lasn, Imogen Heap, Alfredo Jaar, Ana Mendito, Björk.
A group like this could use art as a vehicle to cause serious change!
Who in the world is interesting to you right now, and why?
Can we resurrect this person? Lately, I've been thinking about Emma Goldman. Her ideas, activism and humanitarianism could be extremely useful today. Plus, she has guts!
What's one art trend you want to see die this year?
Well, it takes a minute for ideas to hit a landlocked place like Denver, but I love our close-knit, collaborative community. I would love to see more Social Art, Service Art and Relief Art. What if post-modern art kicked through Denver's doors and took over? What can art do? And when I ask the question, I mean really, how can art contribute and cause change? I would like to see more projects causing change and building our community. What if artists led a charge where we all committed to volunteering two hours a week? I know, I know, we volunteer plenty already. What if this charge led to every citizen volunteering at least two hours a week? (Our children included, let's start early.) I think we would see a big change in our community.
I am concerned about the changing landscape of education. I worry about accessibility, cost and quality. I wish the trending approach could leave out the corporate model and pay attention to, say, Germany's approach? I have heard there are some exciting models popping up in Denver -- look for Moxie U.

Lions camp is an exciting time. There's plenty of optimism, and conversely there's always plenty of pessimism when it comes to the team's prospects in the coming season. Yesterday, I took a long look at the Wide Receivers and DBs, but I missed out on the RBs, lines, and LBs like I had hoped. Well I got all of that in spades today, and there's plenty more ground to cover!
It's Riddickulous
The forgotten draft pick from this season's draft class, many have looked at Theo Riddick as someone who is on the outside looking in. Based on their play last season (And at least one contract), the first three spots of the Lions RB corps looks shored up between Bush, Leshoure, and Bell. If the Lions kept a 4th RB, that RB would have to be a ST contributor, and they went out of their way to sign Bonamego favorite Montell Owens to a contract with guarantees, making him the easy choice. As such, guys like Riddick and UDFA Steven Miller will have a fight on their hands to make the roster. No player made it more apparent today that they are not only in it to win a spot, but in it to contribute all over the place than Theo Riddick. Riddick made a huge impression on me today during drills, and it was pretty much all of them. When Team drills began, Riddick lined up on the outside, something I was hoping to see some of (he played both RB and WR at Notre Dame). His first play was a hitch, and he was WIDE open as the defender was playing off and barely looked at him (probably the fault of the QB looking elsewhere). He wasn't targeted on the play, but even if he was tackled by the corner covering him, it was an easy 5 yards. The very next play Riddick ran a flat route from the RB spot and caught a great pass that he took downfield. Later, he would line up at RB again and carry the rock off right tackle, where he was sprung by Jason Fox and Michael Williams for a very long gain. The Safety was over the top, but wasn't in a good position to make a play and there is a possibility he would have been gone. Later, during ST drills, Riddick was the first man downfield nearly every play, showing that he's a very versatile weapon the team could use. If this becomes a trend during the preseason, not only could Riddick secure a roster spot, but he might do so over a previously "Safe" RB like Owens (limited offensive value) or Bell (limited ST value).
The Best Returner Drill Ever
Prior to every practice, the team often kicks things off by having the returners field some punts. In general we are just watching to see how the players field the ball, whether they muff, how quickly they move upfield, how quickly they get up to speed. Today was a little different. First, let me get over the technical stuff. Steven Miller, Patrick Edwards, and Mike Thomas all looked very promising during drills, fielding the ball well and getting up to speed quickly. All of the returners reacted to the ball well, and what would have been the curious pick of Joique Bell looked very well adjusting to the ball's placement, though he struggled to get up to speed. What stood out, a LOT, though, was that 6'7″ Defensive End Devin Taylor was fielding punts. Um. So. He caught them all. I'm not sure if it was punishment for something, or if he was just working on his ball skills, or what, but I've never even HEARD of a DE catching punts.
Getting the cliché out of the way, Darius Slay looked fantastic…yesterday. Prior to rolling his ankle during one on ones, Slay was looking like the best CB on the field, more than justifying his second round selection. The injury was minor, so I wouldn't start chest beating over it just yet, but his attempts at doing drills were about as clumsy as you'd expect someone like me to do them, not an athletic cornerback. It was pretty bad, so the Lions shut him down as a preventative measure.
I was on a mission to catch some Tight End action in camp and I failed miserably yesterday (They were so far away I doubt binos would have helped). Today, they moved to a closer part of the field, so I got a much better view of them. During individual drills, they all looked sharp. During team drills, I got a much better look of the group and there were several things that stood out for better or worse. First off, I was sorely disappointed in what I saw of Joseph Fauria in camp. Yes, I know I've been talking him up. It wasn't all his doing, as his assignment was almost always a look in route, where the player makes like an inside slant but stops after a few steps and turns to face the QB, stopping. That route doesn't get you anything even if you catch it. He wasn't targeted during those drills. I was happy to see the team splitting him out into the Nickel on several occasions, but disappointed he wasn't utilized more. Michael Williams is as advertised as a blocker. I mentioned his one block earlier, but on the few run plays that were ran during team drills Williams always seemed to be a factor. That's what you hope for when you draft a guy specifically for blocking. He made at least one great catch as well, running a slant (or drag) underneath, he was targeted by Kellen Moore on a bullet between two defenders. Tony Scheffler, like Fauria, was barely used. He was targeted twice that I saw, but both were overthrown. Matt Veldman looked very good when he was targeted, and alright as a blocker, so I wouldn't discount his outside chance of making the roster. The story of the Tight Ends was it's most visible player, Brandon Pettigrew. After allegedly losing significant weight to become faster, Pettigrew still looks every bit the TE, but was very light on his feet and surprisingly quick out of his breaks. Pettigrew has broken records as a Lion, but his drops have largely overshadowed his accomplishments, and he's coming off his worst year when you combine the drops with the otherwise uncharacteristic fumbling issues he developed last season (1 fumble from 2009-2011, 4 in 2012). Pettigrew looked sharp, quick, and hungry and I'm more optimistic for his season after having seen him play.
But What About the Linebackers!?!
I hear you asking. I got a much better view of the Linebackers playing today and I have to tell you…I have no idea where we stand. I really tried, again, to see Palmer but was once again denied. He was a ghost if he was ever on the field. The Linebackers as a whole looked exceptionally fast, as I mentioned yesterday, most noticeable were Brandon Hepburn (who was also the first player on the field today) and Tahir Whitehead. Carmen Messina was also back on the field, which is good since I was beginning to doubt his chances of making the team. And then coverage drills commenced. None of the Lions linebackers were particularly well in coverage, and while some of that can be explained by playcalling (The targeted players were almost always running some kind of flat or underneath route), I would have expected a much better showing (like an at all showing) by at least one or two of the Linebackers. Nobody impressed me with their coverage ability and that was very disappointing. Carmen Messina, who was a liability in coverage last season, had one of the only good coverages on a flat route where he undercut the route and forced the throw off target. Later, though, he would cover Matt Veldman very tightly but fail to turn his head, making Veldman's catch and subsequent breakaway pretty easy. The one spot that sort of shone bright for the group was on a sweep pass to Bell and later a dive run from someone (didn't catch the RB). On the first play, Bell caught the pass early and the crowd cheered as he ran. He wasn't 'tackled' since they don't in camp, but he barely made it back to scrimmage, if he did at all. Later, both DTs were split (Mosley and Saddler-McQueen) leaving a gaping hole up the middle for the RB to charge through. Levy and Hepburn bottled up the center and it was again no or little gain. Outside of that bit of promise, the Linebackers were underwhelming at times and disappointing at others. From what rumblings I've heard, it's likely that Travis Lewis is out of the battle at OLB, as Gunther Cunningham pretty much said as much when he said he was more of a MLB than OLB. The battle for starting OLB is heating up, but it's more of a hot mess than it is a hot fight at this point.
Trenches O
Team drills were run pretty quickly today, so it was tough to get a bead on the Oline battles. The team seemed to be experimenting a bit with who went where, as at one point I saw Hilliard at RG and another had Warford at LG. From what I could gather on my own and from talking to others, it was Dylan Gandy who once again got the most work at RG. Warford has as of yet been a let down in camp, and it's looking less and less like he'll be the day one starter. Fans shouldn't concern themselves, however, as it was sort of unfair to expect him to come in day one and take the league by storm and the likely reason for his being held back so much is because of his initial get out of his stance, a known and correctable issue. Jason Fox impressed today, moreso than Corey Hilliard, and it seemed like he was getting more time in, so after the OLB disappointment we may finally be seeing a frontrunner in the RT race. The offensive line as a whole was a mixed bag, however, and outside of Reiff and Sims on the left side and possibly Raiola (Who isn't getting replaced, and has looked the best he ever has), it's not only a question mark but potentially a liability. Gandy has been described as the best guard so far by several sources, and after seeing Gandy attempting to block CJ Mosley I am less than confident the right side of our line will be tolerable, let alone acceptable.
Trenches D
Devin Taylor is not as good as some of the bigger outlets have been saying. With that out of the way, he may prove to be one of our best draft picks long-term. The gigantic Defensive End had as many rough spots as he did bright spots, but when he screwed up it was generally minor (Aside from getting pancaked by Raiola yesterday), while when he shined it was pretty spectacular. There will be a steep learning curve with Devin Taylor, but he will contribute as a pass rusher, and he will contribute this season. I didn't get to see much of Ansah, and in general he was facing off against Reiff and it's been the only battle Reiff has had all camp. I got to see Ronnell Lewis playing on the line, finally, but was neither impressed or disappointed. He plays bigger than he is, but didn't win many battles. Braylon Broughton and recently acquired Xavier Proctor are just guys (didn't notice them at all, if they were even ever on the field). The Lions are probably going to sign another DT during the preseason, that or they will truly roll with only three and use Jones and Idonije in that rotational role. Ogmedi Nwagbuo, Jimmy Saddler-McQueen, and Andre Fluellen may have been rag dolls. Overall, the guys we know to be good, Suh, Fairley, and Mosley, were all good and we don't have to worry about the starters. Depth? Huge question mark along the Dline.
Phat Pat and a Real Reality Star
Best receiver in camp so far, besides Megatron of course, has been Patrick Edwards. Edwards had a strong showing in camp last season, before disappearing in preseason, but he has been uncoverable in camp. The best part of that news isn't that nobody can cover him, but that he's been doing all this good work playing the OUTSIDE receiver spot. Most assumed from his size that Edwards was a slot guy, and it's true he has skills that would make him a good fit there, but I've been preaching for two years now that despite his size his route tree would allow him to play outside if given the chance. The team would seem to agree, as he's made waves all over camp from the outside spot and has a shot to be a dangerous downfield speed threat a la Mike Wallace or Desean Jackson. Better still, Edwards is fast in and out of his cuts, making his ability to move around the line even more dangerous. If only there was someone who could play in the slot as well. Oh yeah, Recent reality start Ryan Broyles. So I had heard some rumbling that Broyles was having a poor camp, looking sluggish and lacking explosion in his cuts. I was already curious because I hadn't noticed Broyles in camp so far despite looking for him yesterday. There wasn't anything negative to report, but nothing positive either. Today fared much differently for the second year receiver and it was extremely positive. Broyles made Chris Houston, the Lions consensus best CB, fall down when he was locked up on him with a simple fake to the outside and caught a slant pass for good yardage. Quin was over the top and likely would have taken Broyles down, but it was a successful play. Later he would catch a hitch with Bentley over the top and juke him right out of his shoes. Later still he caught an underneath pass with his corner nowhere in sight and made Quin take a bad angle to him, which would have been a TD in a real game. Broyles looked sharp in his routes, and while the speed probably wasn't where it should be Broyles has never been a fast receiver. Explosion out of his cuts? Totally there. Broyles is poised to have a very good year, if his surgically repaired knees allow it.
Quick Hits
You should know the drill by now!
- Durham's hands are still very good, and when limited to routes that keep him moving in a straight line, he could be a dangerous receiver. Catching balls away from his body, showing a noticeable desire to put himself on the line to make a catch.
- Cody Wilson managed a good play in a receiving capacity, and it was on Chris Houston (But was overthrown). The rest of his plays went the same way as yesterday, he's just not ready to be an NFL receiver.
- Ron Bartell made a great cover manned up against Corey Fuller.
- DeQuan Menzie can cover on limited routes, showed good ball awareness covering Matt Willis.
- Reggie Bush will need to be covered by a Safety or Corner, and even then it will be difficult.
- Ross Weaver had a good cover today, the first I've seen from him so far.
- Shaun Chapas isn't going to make the team. Not surprising considering he's a FB, but he hasn't done anything to distinguish himself. Might be the next one cut.
- Chaz Schilens made a fantastic catch over Glover Quin, continues his good camp.
- Mike Williams made a GREAT close catch on a short pass with Ross Weaver draped all over him.
- Leshoure looks faster than he did last season and showed good burst on passing routes. Didn't get the ball enough to make a more solid impression.
- Steven Miller is Reggie Bush lite. Made his guy miss on flat routes, would have 8-10 yards easy.
- Right after that, Miller had a BAD drop, which was perfectly placed by Hill.
- Mike Thomas made some good moves in team drills.
- Mike Williams can trap block. Steven Miller gets through the hole very fast and bounces upfield.
- Kellen Moore has more zip on his passes, but probably not enough to secure his job.
- Leroy Harris had a huge brace and wrap on his knee, was later removed from practice. Chances slim he makes the team to begin with, worse if he can't see the field.
- Bill Bentley was the only CB who was able to cover Patrick Edwards in camp. Kept pace with him and mad e great dive to deflect an on target pass from Moore.
The Question of Stafford's Mechanics
While I would like to end on a positive note, I'm unable to since I felt this deserved attention. Matthew Stafford's mechanics were always poor in camp, and not much better during the regular season. They have not improved this offseason despite the entire offseason being spent in Detroit preparing. Stafford still throws at about a 3/4 trajectory, and his deep throws still sail on him. Even with a clean pocket, he often failed to set his feet to pass, and while his accuracy was generally on in camp it was severely disappointing to see such a glaring flaw not addressed. Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Colin Kaepernick, all examples of players who had poor mechanics and corrected them, this isn't an unprecedented move by a team to force a player to correct his throwing motion and his passing mechanics. Yet, the Lions did nothing despite extending Stafford until 200oforever. Keep in mind, Stafford's mechanics have always been worse in camp than they were in the regular season, but even that speaks to a concern over his work ethic. We're all stuck waiting to see him pass in a real game to see if he has truly improved or not, but early signs are not that promising that he has improved the biggest flaw in his game. He DID look better progressing through his reads, but that was such a minor part of why his play suffered when compared to not planting his foot and unnecessarily throwing sidearm and sailing intermediate and even short passes. Something to monitor going forward.

Ignore whoever told you plants don't need food. Not during the first 12 days, but after that they do. What whoever told you that might mean is if you use potting soil with nutrients already in it, adding more would hurt. The best potting soils have a mixture of compost & peat moss, with seabird/bat guano, seaweed/kelp, worm castings and a bit of hydrated lime, and perlite. Some growers like to add lots of perlite but you should never use more than 15 % imo. A soil with these organic nutrients doesn't need any added nutrients for the first 4 weeks or so. Then it's time to add small amt's of nutrients to the water when you water the plants. For a beginner, I'd recommend Fox Farms nutrients. You'll need 1 kind for veg and another kind for flowering. Top quality potting soil is expensive (Fox Farms Ocean and Black Gold Potting Soil start at $10.00/bag) but is very cost effective. Your plants will grow faster, be healthier, and you'll have more buds to harvest.
How do I know which soil is right for me to buy?
Do some reading on the subject - marijuana requires certain components in order to grow well, therefore the better soil mix you buy, the better growth and yield you will have in the end. When buying soil, you truly get what you pay for.
My soil cracks into chunks when it gets dry, and my plants are not growing much at all. What's wrong?
Your soil is too tightly packed to allow the roots to grow and spread out. Compacted soil will choke a plant and stunt the growth. Remove your plant, add some perlite or moss or other additive to the soil mix, then transplant. It should perk up and begin growing in a day or two.
I only planted 5 seeds but I have 8 sprouts in my cups. How can this happen?
Chances are you used old soil or cheap soil. Pull the "weeds" as soon as you can, but make sure you don't pull your marijuana seedlings out by mistake.
I started 2 other grows in this soil, but my other plants all died. Can I still use this?
That depends on why they died. If they were good seeds and you gave them good care, then I believe your soil has defencies or is contaminated. The best thing would be to dispose of it and buy fresh, better grade of soil.
Help! My dirt is full of brown bugs! Can my 2-wk old plant be saved?
That sounds like a bad infestation. If the plant still looks healthy, spray it down with a soap mixture, then remove it from the pot, gently shake the dirt out of the roots, and transplant it into new soil, after you wash your container well. Throw all the old soil out - it can't be used for anything.
My soil was EXPENSIVE - why can`t I reuse it?
Reusing soil is a matter for much debate. Some growers do, some don't. Some will add ferts and nutes, then flush it out and let it sit between grows. Some use the same soil over and over with good results, while others throw it onto the compost heap as soon as the plants are cut. I would think, the better the soil to start with, the more reusable it would be.
I saw 4 different brands of soil in the garden center today. How can I tell which is best?
Compare the ingredients in each bag, then go with the one that has the ingredients you want in it. If it does not satisfy you, you can always change to another brand.
I planted my seeds in plain soil. What do I do?
Buy a bag of soil amendment and transplant your seedlings, as soon as possible.
What kind of cup do I start my seeds in? How much dirt? How much water?
Any small container will do - make sure it is 3-4" deep and has drainage holes in the bottom. Fill it to 1/2" of the top with dirt. Water with half to one ounce of water daily until it sprouts.
Can I keep my seeds on the stove to germinate?
Yes. They need to be kept nice and warm, and make sure the soil stays moist too.
