Article: Purchase a cell tray from any gardening store. A tray with drainage holes at the bottom of each cell will work best so the seeds are not waterlogged as they grow. Fill the cells to the top with potting soil that is rich in nutrients. If the cell tray does not have holes for drainage, use a knife to cut small slits in the bottom of the cell so water can escape. Tobacco seeds are amongst the tiniest seeds you can purchase and plant. Pour the seeds onto a white piece of paper so you can clearly see how many you have and easily keep control of them. Rather than trying to plant each seed individually, gently tap a group of seeds. They should easily stick to your finger and you can see how many you are preparing to plant. Rub your fingers together to drop the seeds into each cell of the tray. Aim for the center of the cell so seedlings do not crowd around the edges. Seedlings growing around the edges could limit root growth for each plant. The seedlings may all start to grow, but you'll be able to thin them out once they start to germinate. Watering will help the seeds embed slightly into the soil. Spray them lightly so the seeds are not pushed around by the force of the water. Wet the topsoil until it is moist, but not so that water is left standing on the surface. The water will come through the drainage holes at the bottom of each cell. Bottom watering helps promote downward root growth as your seeds start to germinate. A cheap plastic tray or container can be used for this. Containers that previously held food, like the grocery store packaging for mushrooms, work perfectly for this. When the soil feels dry to the touch, refill the container with water. Tobacco seeds will germinate better if they are kept away from any light. Use aluminum foil or any other opaque cover for your seed tray to block the light. Leave room between the soil and the aluminum so air can circulate. Tobacco seeds usually germinate within the first 3 or 4 days after sowing them. Keep them in a warm area that stays around 75F (24C), like a windowsill or on top of a water heater. The heat will effectively make a miniature greenhouse for your seeds. Check the seeds each day for sprouts. Once you see small sprouts in each cell, remove the aluminum foil cover and keep the sprouts on a windowsill so they can receive light throughout the day.

Fill a cell tray with potting soil. Spread the seeds on a white sheet of paper. Press the seeds onto the tip of your finger. Drop 8 to 10 seeds on top of the soil in each cell. Water the seeds with a spray bottle. Put the cell tray in a container with 12 inch (13mm) of water. Cover the seeds with aluminum foil to block the sun. Keep the tray in a warm place for 3 to 4 days. Remove the cover and keep it on a windowsill.

California is full of breathtaking views--perfect for photos or adventures in nature! For example, you could explore the Redwood Forests in northern California. If you're traveling down the coast, take a hike along beautiful Big Sur. $30 can also get you a 7-day pass to Yosemite National Park, including access to almost 800 miles of trails and gorgeous waterfall views. Visit Joshua Tree National Park for a desert day-hike or some rock climbing. While Napa tastings and tours generally cost around $15-30 per person, Sonoma County offers much more affordable options without the crowds. This area has great wine, great food, and inexpensive lodgings. For the best deals and a personalized experience, look for smaller wineries that offer complimentary wine tastings. If you're traveling further south but you'd still like a taste of wine country, try Paso Robles. This is an up-and-coming wine area, with almost 200 wineries available to tour. Instead of going to an expensive spa facility, go natural and find a hot spring nearby. If you're feeling adventurous, look for locations that require a hike to reach the hot spring. If you're in the mood to just relax and enjoy the experience, visit an easily accessible facility built around a natural spring. Look for local events, such as farmers markets (like the one in Ferry Plaza, San Francisco), flea markets, or seasonal festivals. Walking around allows you to sight-see and experience the area first-hand, and best of all, it doesn't cost you a thing. Pasadena's Rose Bowl flea market is one of the best in America, boasting over 2,500 sellers and 20,000 sellers every month. It's open on the second Sunday of each month, so if you're in town, take a free walk around and see if you can spot a great deal! An easy way to find free admission days is to simply Google the city you're staying in, along with "free museums." Many institutions offer at least 1 free day per month, if not per week. Some websites, such as TimeOut, even provide a comprehensive list for the year. For example, the Getty Center in L.A. includes art collections, rare antiquities, and rooms full of kids activities, all for free! Just pay for $10-15 parking, depending on the time of day, if you drive there. Explore San Francisco Botanical Garden's beautiful 55-acre park, which holds plants from all over the world. Admission is only $8 for adults. If you're in L.A., take a walk around Griffith Park Observatory and head up to the top at sunset for an amazing, panoramic city view.

If it adds up to more than 3,500 calories, you should have lost 1 lb. Losing 1 lb. in 4 days is very fast weight loss. If you continue this way, you can lose 2 lbs. by week's end. Losing 2 lbs. per week adds up to 8 lbs. per month, a healthy a noticeable weight loss goal. Although actual weight can fluctuate throughout the day, if you are losing inches on arms, legs, stomach or chest measurements, you are making good progress toward healthy and substantial weight loss. After you try on clothing or measure yourself with a fabric measuring tape, you can weigh yourself. Try to weigh yourself only once each week, at approximately the same time during the day. Keep in mind that while you burn fat, you may also be gaining muscle. Muscle building may keep the scale from dropping for a few days; however, muscle tissue burns more calories than fatty tissue, and you will see greater weight loss in the long-term.
