In 2007, four byways will become the ribbon of roads that bring heritage tourists traveling aboard American Bus Association (ABA) member motorcoaches to French and Indian War destinations in New York and Pennsylvania. The ABA has named French and Indian War Commemorations in New York among its Top 100 Events in North America for 2007. The opportunity for motorcoaches to cruise along historic and scenic byways to reach historic sites and events from May to October will have a positive economic impact on the region.
This recognition by the ABA and the opportunity to enjoy a portion of the estimated $159,000 generated annually per motorcoach has come about through a partnership of three National Scenic Byways: the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, Lakes to Locks Passage and the Mohawk Towpath, along with the state-designated Revolutionary Byway and historic forts, and New York’s French and Indian War 250th Anniversary Commission. The recognition granted these byways and byway-based historic sites by the American Bus Association is a milestone and model for byways’ collaboration. Together, we are promoting our shared resources to achieve an innovative experience for heritage travelers and a positive impact on our local and state economies.
Development of the French and Indian War theme is assisted by a $187,000 National Scenic Byway grant to the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, Inc. which provides for the design and installation of 21 French and Indian War theme interpretive panels at such sites as Fort Ontario in Oswego, Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, Fort La Presentation in Ogdensburg, Fort Stanwix in Rome, and Fort William Henry in Lake George. The grant will also underwrite a resource inventory and the development of a brochure and guidebook to promote the French and Indian War travel theme.
The Great Lakes Seaway Trail Interpretive Plan designates a series of multi-themed interpretive panels for attractions of all types. The series has been well-received for two major reasons: the panels provide site-specific visitor contact with a site’s legends, lore, facts and information 24 hours a day, year-round; and the panels create the impetus to travel on along the byway to other historic, natural, architectural and agricultural sites. Guidebooks and maps presenting an integrated collection of sites also accomplish the objective of multiple stops.
Among the interpretive techniques we see working well at the forts, battlefields, and non-military historic sites are costumed interpreters and the opportunity for visitors to enjoy a personal experience of living history along the Great lakes Seaway Trail which spans 518 miles through 11 counties in two states.
My vision of the future for America’s Scenic Byways is a balanced mix of living history, i.e., human contact-based, and inanimate tools for interpreting our heritage resources. A mix of funding sources - from federal grants to corporate sponsors will also be required to implement programming (for ideas see the Driving Financial Sustainability for America’s Byways Organizations CD). And as my colleague Dr. Ruth Hawkins suggests, regional and national partnerships, such as the French and Indian War collaboration are key to creating the “critical mass” attractive to tourists and funders and to catalyze byway-based community development.

You have it right! I’ve seen some of the panels already developed and they really add to the byways experience. Gazing out over the water, the idea of British ships emerging from the morning mist came alive! And the discussion of some fo the town features still in existence — buildings and more — really made me think about the forces that shaped our nation in its early years. Ideally, the written info will be combined with downloadable messages — narration, perhaps pictures and music — similar to that done for the Lewis and Clark commemoration(see http://lewisandclarktrail.com/elearning.htm for some great examples of podcasting/MP3 content).

There was this guy see.
He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
A few moments later…
“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
A few moments later…
“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
A few moments later…
“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

Сдаю квартиру на длительный срок (хотя бы года 2), долларов за 500 может, кто че подскажет,

Уважаемые админы, если я написала немножко не в той теме,

Новый способ давления на кандидата на пост Главы г. Химки
Новый способ “наказать” тех, кто посмел участвовать в выборной кампании не на стороне действующей власти изобрели правоохранительные органы г.о. Химки.
Руководствуясь не нормой закона, а чьей-то “волей” сотрудники милиции решили “проверить” все фирмы, внесшие денежные средства в избирательный фонд неудобных кандидатов.
Начались “проверки” с телефонных звонков - где директор, сколько человек работает на фирме. После чего последовали “письма счастья” с просьбой предоставить всю бухгалтерскую документацию, учредительные документы фирмы, и даже, план экспликации БТИ.
Такие запросы химкинским фирмам рассылает 1 отдел Оперативно-розыскной части № 9 Управления по налоговым преступлениям ГУВД Московской области за подписью начальника подполковника милиции Д.В. Языкова.
И всё это в то время, когда Президент дал прямое указание правоохранительным органам о прекращении всех незаконных проверок малого и среднего бизнеса. С это целью внесены изменения в Федеральный закон “О милиции” - из статьи 11 этого закона исключены пункты 25 и 35, на основании которых ранее правоохранительные органы имели право проверять финансово-хозяйственную деятельность предприятий.
Видно, об изменениях действующего законодательства местные правоохранительные органы не уведомлены. И не смотрят телепередачи с выступлениями Президента.
Может быть, эта публикация подвигнет их к исполнению указаний Президента, а также к изучению и соблюдению действующего законодательства

What is the CLEP Equivelency Program? it’s a established program by the College Board which allows students to get college credit at many major colleges including Cornell and University of New York. There are exams in dozens of subjects including Psychology and Business.
Having taken some of the examinations for myself, I can attest to their validity as an excellent program to get very cheap credits. Read a textbook on the subject; I read a text on Philosophy. The next step is to apply for an examination through a testing center. Check the College Board website to search for testing centers in your area. Depending on the area you live around there may be up to a dozen various examination centers. Each exam costs around $55 but there is often an additional fee imposed by the testing center which can vary in price.
At the test center, you will have to check in with the program supervisor. You will be led into a room with computers which run special software. The examinations are all taken on computer and offers participants great flexibility in taking the test. One can go back to questions, mark them to look over, skip questions, see how many questions one has left or any number of other operations. The computer software also has a calculator should you be taking a math examination.
One of the country’ leading colleges which accepts test out credits is the Monterey Polytechnic Institute. Monterey Polytechnic is a private institution in Monterey, CA, USA which offers a variety of associates, bachelors, and masters degrees specializing in Business Management, Professional Development, Public Relations, Social Work, and a number of other fields in the arts and sciences. Prior Learning Assessment degree programs are also available. Monterey Polytechnic’s flexible schedule of lecture and correspondence courses is uniquely suited for working adults. Monterey Polytechnic is well known as one of the most respected, hands on, and prestigious institutes in the nation.
So, should you take it? If you are a junor or senior striving to finish up degree requirements, if you’re an expert in your field of study and desire recognition for it, or if you simply want to duck the ridiculouslarge costs imposed by colleges then University Level Examination Program is for you. It is very cheap, usually $80 for the exam and a processing fee that is almost always under $25. It is definitely a good way to acquire college credit based on what you already know without sitting through an AP class for a year. If you take biology in High School, for instance, there is no corresponding AP, but for college credit, consider taking a CLEP. It is one day of your life and only an hour and a half long. In addition, you’ll find out if you pass immediately. A score of 55 is good enough for credit for most colleges. Check with your university for more information.
