Student Council -What are some good fundraisers that we can do? …..?

What are some good fundraisers that we can do? Or some cheaper items we can sell? See, I go to a not so wealthy school so we cant sell stuff that costs over like . I am trying to raise money to send care packages to the troops. (nonprofit) So far my family and I have donated a free stay and breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn. And I was thinking at the elementary we could raffle off a stuffed animal (our mascot) If you have any ideas please feel free to offer them.

Many thanks
-Student council and myself.

How does Humboldt State University compare to the others colleges in California?

I’m a junior and I’m starting to look into colleges. I’m interested in going to a college in or near San Francisco. Many benefits to this. I love San Francisco for one thing and it is only two hours from my home so now long commutes to visit home.

So what I was wondering how does HSU compare to the other colleges in California. Is the tuition fairly reasonable or expensive? Academic wise how does it compare? And most importantly of all is it hard to get into?

What are some labor day vacation ideas for california?

Other than going to Palm Springs what are some other great spots to visit?

If you want to add maturity to your newly built house, and make it look as if it’s been there for a very long time, there’s nothing like getting a big tree or two and planting them around your home.  Big trees have had a few years start in a nursery, with a controlled environment, so you know they will be strong and healthy.  A professional nursery will dig up their big trees ready for transport, just a couple of days before shipment  This ensures freshness and the health of the tree.

 

Of course, there are so many mature trees to chose from that it’s a good idea to stroll around your house with a few years ahead in your mind, and study how an even bigger tree would look in a decade.  Trees reach maturity at various sizes, so talking to a professional nursery about which trees grow rapidly, which ones grow slowly, and which big trees will grow even bigger.  Landscaping should remain in proportion to the house or the building it surrounds.  A homeowner certainly wouldn’t want a Giant Redwood towering over their English cottage.  Trees do come in a variety of foliage color, so that has to be taken into consideration.  And do you enjoy raking leaves in the autumn?  Deciduous trees are beautiful to look at but as soon as the weather changes, so do they.  Perhaps a mixture of evergreens and deciduous, or even eucalyptus trees (only bark is shed there) would work.

 

In California, there is a variety of oak tree called a live oak.  It does not shed its leaves, whereas its cousin does.  And these Western oaks have decidedly smaller leaves than the Eastern North American area does.  Oak trees are a big tree, as are a lot of evergreens, but pines grow much faster.  Growth rate is another consideration when choosing any tree. And in Western states, where they have a lot of brushfires, some big trees are more fire resistant than others.    Some big trees that you can purchase at a nursery are fully grown.  Trees can range from micro trees (banzai for the indoors) to trees that stay fairly small, like Japanese Maples, to mid-sized trees like fruit trees, to some Redwoods (not the Giant ones) that are a good size, but can be planted in a garden with a nice amount of space. 

 

When buying big trees, or ones that will grow even bigger, underneath the tree is a good site for some kind of plants.  Not all trees cut off light to anything growing underneath it, as they do in the rain forest where one hundred and forty foot giants are not uncommon.  Although grass doesn’t grow under trees, many plants that like partial sunlight or shade will do beautifully.  You can check with the same nursery that you buy your big tree or trees from, and get their advice on these “base” plantings.   A balanced and thriving garden is a healthy garden, where each plant has its own place in the sun (or shade, whatever is to its liking).

Landscaping With Native Wildflowers

Native wildflowers purchased from a reputable nursery are perfect for homeowners or business owners who wish to provide a gorgeous array of low maintenance and eco-friendly plants. Nothing can beat plants which are native to certain areas of the country, as they are easy keepers, used to the rainfall and climate changes, and being wildflowers, are very hardy and often disease resistant.

Why Solar Rock Lights Are the Easiest Garden Lighting Gadgets to Use

The easiest way to go about garden lighting without spending too much on your light bulbs is to buy solar rock lights which cost only half of the standard LED bulbs. They are ready to position in your garden as they are. You won’t need to spend any more money to fix the bulbs into some kind of support for propping them in place. Just ‘drop’ the rock anywhere on your lawn and it is all set.

What is the best digital camera for nature (beach and redwood) photography?

The primary use would be for nature photographs (beach and redwoods) and the occasional pictures of friends (red eye bad). I want a point-and-shoot for portability and because of money restrictions. I have about 0, but could stretch it too 400 if the camera is significantly worth it. The size/shape of the camera isn’t as important as the quality of the pictures, but I do like the square no bulges of some of these point-and-clicks. I had a canon S500 which I was happy with, but it was stolen. Any suggestions or tips? Should I get a used S500 again from Ebay? Or is there something way better out there for me? I was also looking at new Kodaks? Help?
