What were the three routes to California during the Gold Rush?|102647

Please name at least two pros and cons of each route.

nobody asked for a history lesson jiby

donner pass, probably the most famous

The California Gold Rush (1848�C1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was discovered at Sutter_s Mill. As news of the discovery spread, some 300,000 people came to California from the rest of the United States and abroad.

These early gold-seekers, called _forty-niners,_ traveled to California by sailing ship and in covered wagons across the continent, often facing substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly-arrived were Americans, the Gold Rush also attracted tens of thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia and Asia. At first, the prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning, and later developed more sophisticated methods of gold recovery that were adopted around the world. Gold worth billions of today_s dollars was recovered, leading to great wealth for a few; many, however, returned home with little more than they started with.

The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. San Francisco grew from a tiny hamlet of tents to a boomtown, and roads, churches, schools and other towns were built. A system of laws and a government were created, leading to the admission of California as a state in 1850. New methods of transportation developed as steamships came into regular service and railroads were built. The business of agriculture, California_s next major growth field, was started on a wide scale throughout the state. However, the Gold Rush also had negative effects: Native Americans were attacked and pushed off traditional lands, and gold mining caused environmental harm

How is Southern Ohio different from Northern Ohio?|176361

I am curious about the intra-state stratification in Ohio. I have been all over Northern Ohio, but not below Columbus. In what way is it different from Northern Ohio? I_m curious more about cultural differences. I can pretty much predict the weather differences and the physiographic differences.

I have heard similar things (that the northern part is very different from the southern part) about Virginia, Florida, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

How are they different?

On the back of most seed packets, there is a map of the USA. When we moved from Kent, Ohio, we moved from the light blue area into the light green area.

Cincinnati is far more cosmopolitan than anything I experienced in the Akron-Kent-Cleveland area.

Physio-graphically, Cincinnati is on top of and in the valleys between an alluvial plain. This is where the glaciers ended. It was also a bed for the inland sea, so you have a lot of marine fossils embedded in the limestone.

well i can not find much of a cultural difference because well

1. Cincinnati has the Bengals Cleveland has the browns
Bengals are good browns are awful

2. Cincinnati has the reds Cleveland has the Indians .....
Indians are good reds suck.

both citys love sports and music and entertainment

there really is not much of a difference at all ... were both next to water and stuff also ... soo yea


oo yea Cincinnati is south and Cleveland is north BTW

Northern is flat, southern is hilly
northern is liberal, southern is more conservative - except for the big cities, they are all liberal across the state. The democrat strong holds infrastructure is degraded, crumbling.

Anyone know what towns are the best in Colorado?|187083

My husband and I love Colorado and are planning on moving there in the near future. We have been researching towns online, but I haven_t been able to figure out what town would be best for us. We are very outdoorsy. We love to camp, hike, bike ride, all that good stuff. We are also looking for a town that has good home prices and good schools, because I am an elementary school teacher. I would really appreciate any insight anyone has on different towns in Colorado. Oh we are not city people so we would prefer a medium to small sized town over a large city.

Personally, I love Estes Park, Colorado.

Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest surround the village of Estes Park, Colorado with spectacular mountain scenery, abundant wildlife habitat, miles of hiking trails and scenic drives including Trail Ridge Road over the Continental Divide and the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway.

Deffiantely Colorado Springs! We lived there for a couple years, and loved it! It_s perfect for outdoor adventure! You_ve got Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Some waterfalls, Palmer Park, and even a castle and Pikes Peak is very close! I would say Colorado Springs is the best place to live in Colorado if you like outdoor stuff! But you can always go to Rocky Mountain National Park for the weekend! Is not that far! But for adventure some places I would recomend are Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon Of Gunnison, Royal Gorge, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa, Hovenweep, Dinosaur National Monuent! Those are some of the few you must see in Colorado, but all the nice stuff is west of the Rockies! Eastern Colorado is flat prarie! Move to Colorado Springs! You will like! Is very nice!

Vail, Boulder and Colorado Springs are great place to settle down. Denver is also great, with good schools, but it_s a fairly large city. Boulder and Colorado Springs are smaller college towns and are somewhat affordable. The views are fantastic. Vail may be a little pricey, but the skiing there is great.

How can I go about moving to New York City?|188288

I_ve spent a little over two weeks in New York City and it was the best two weeks of my life. It_s all I think about and it_s the one thing I look forward to. My personal definition of _success_ means living in New York. The energy of the city is mind-blowing. The people aren_t afraid to be BOLD. Everybody has their own story to tell. I wouldn_t want to be anywhere else in the world.

(My dream is to write for the New York Times.)

Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody could give me some tips!

I moved to NYC from Minneapolis last summer. Here is what I did:

I sold about 90% of my stuff in garage sales and ebay before I moved here. I knew the apartments would be much smaller than what I was used to, and it was a great way to save more money.

I got a large suitcase and packed about a week_s worth of clothes, a suit for job interviews and a few things that reminded me of home. I flew out here and stayed in youth hostel (I was 23) in Chelsea.

I basically surfed Craiglist like it was my bible for about two weeks. Occasionally going to look at apartments until I found one that I liked. It_s much, much too expensive to live on your own or in Manhattan when you first got here. So I would recommend looking at apartment shares in Brooklyn or Queens. Craigslist has a seperate area on their site for people looking for shares (basically an apartment with an open room).

Once I got my housing set up, I immediately started looking for jobs. I had already put my resume together before I arrived in New York, so I started searching the internet (Craigslist again!)_for jobs. I got a part time job within about a week and worked there for about a month or two until I lined up full time employment.

New York is tough. Very tough. But it can also be very rewarding. If you_re planning to move here, make sure you_re doing it for the right reasons. Nothing will come easy for you at first, but if you really want to live here, you_ll make it.

This is just my story. I found that most jobs/potential roomates won_t even give you the time of day if you don_t live in the city. I had sent out some resumes before I arrived and never heard from them again because I did not have a New York address. Millions of people say they_re going to move here all the time. Us New Yorkers know better. Unless you_re already in the city, they won_t waste their time waiting to get you in for an interview.

This is just my experience. Everyone else_s in this city probably differs... but that_s what makes NYC so great!


I hope this helps!

get a job before moving her or have some interviews lined up. living in manhattan is extremely expensive apartments range starting at 2000-3500 for a 1 bedroom. anything less isnt in manhattan its prolly in harlem or the bronx. so yeah def have a job and money stashed away bc to even qualify for a place u have to meet a lot of requirements, i suggest going to nyu, earn ur degree, live on campus, get into an internship and transition from there! good luck!

I would definetly want to know too...keep me posted!

Find a job if you don_t have one
If not hope you have lots of money stashed away
If you want to stay in the heart Manhattan is it, but it will cost you plenty. A one bedroom can go for well over a grand and don_t expect much on size. If you are rather young or don_t mind sharing space check around colleges for postings for roomies, maybe roommates.com/.net and craigslist, etc.
Good Luck and enjoy
NY is great for anyone that likes to be in the mix!!

Get a job here BEFORE moving here, then look for a space with someone looking for a room mate (use craigs list for room mate hunt) good luck

The best thing to do is to find a job before you get there. That might not be easy depending on where you live now.

It can be expensive to get started here, and if you aren_t working right away, you will amazed at how fast you go through your savings.

You might also look into working for a company that has locations where you are now, and in NYC so that you can make a transfer.

Check out monster.com, hotjobs.com and even the NY Times websites for jobs that look like something you might want to do. It will be helpful to figure out how much you can get paid, which influences everything else you do here!

you have got to see the blue man group. they are brilliant and funny. the Blue Man Group is a creative organization founded by Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman; it is centered on a trio of mute performers, called Blue Men, who present themselves in blue grease paint and wear latex bald caps and black clothing. Blue Man Group_s theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. It is also noted for having a _poncho section_ of the audience; in the front rows, audience members are provided with plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various food, substances, paints, and so on, which are thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life. Some of the humor breaks the fourth wall, for example, interrupting the show to ridicule latecomers in the audience.

Here are a few adult shows you should consider seeing.

X Burlesque @ the Flamingo
Fantasy @ Luxor
Zumanity by Cirque Du Soleil @ New York New York
Crazy Horse Paris @ MGM Grand
