Who throws all the confetti when they have a big parade in new york city? -

when they have a big parade in NYC and you see it on the news...where do those confetti come from? And who throws them?... Do they drop those things on the roof of the building?..

Throwing confetti, or ticker tape, to celebrated to team wining a championship or someone s historic feat, dates back to the late 1880s when office workers on Wall Street will use ticker tape as confetti and toss it out the window to the street below, hence the name ticker-tape parade .Today, due to safety and security concerns, the practice of throwing ticker tape out of office widows has become less frequent. However, the practice is still carried out. The Lower Manhattan business improvement district, aka the Downtown Alliance, handles all the confetti preparation. The Alliance distributes bag of ticker tape, which is blank shredded paper to offices along the parade route. This done by request.The Alliance, with the permission from the building s owner, can also toss confetti off the roof of an office high rise. Sometime the Alliance will use an empty office, as long as the windows could open.The practice of throwing confetti is also use in Times Square, when the clock strikes 12am on January 1st. The folks in charge of the event, the Times Square Alliance, is also in charge of tossing confetti off the roof and windows of nearby buildings.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luckNative New Yorker

Anyone and everyone..the parades pass by office buildings and homes and people enjoy to do this.. it is like a tradition lolbut im pretty sure that the parade has special workers set up on certain rooftops and they end up dropping conffetti at some point just in case nobody does it =D

How should I mail a notebook from CT to NY? -

its a composition notebook, and I would like to mail it without having to take it to the post office. Is there any possible way? And if not, how should I mail it?

Well - - -you can put it in an envelope, weight it, and then use the postage calculator on the USPS web site to determine how many stamps it needs. But you would have to go to the post office to buy the stamps.you can put it in a USPS fixed-rate priority mail envelope, and then print a prepaid mailing label from the USPS web site. Of course, you would need to go to the post office to pick up the priority mail envelope.You can also order both stamps and priority mail envelopes via the USPS web site for delivery to your home.

in a package box... whats the weight though?

What sorts of visa i will require to work in United state if i have got degree from india.? -

US VISA

http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_17��

They are called work visas. You must obtain it before you arrive, Sometimes they can be hard to get depending on your line of work, physicians is needed more than any other industry, so if you are a doctor, you will have a much greater chance than if you are a plumber.

Of visa you simply worked in united? Boy! Sometimes you just must think for yourself!

Anyone know any really good ultra lounges/bars for vegas NYE 2010? -

was going to go to a giant club like tao or pure but thinking i m going to try out an ultra lounge like cathouse or lavo. i have 3 girls/3 guys in my party and think i ll have a lesser of a wait to get in an ultra lounge or bar rather than a super club. plus most of these type places have open bar and less packed. Does anyone know of any really good ultra lounges/ bars to go to for NYE? i heard LAVO Cathouse are really good. Plus there alot cheaper for admission than the big clubs. The Hawaiin Tropic Zone in Planet Hollywood have open bar from 9pm-2am but heard its hit or miss there but they have a little mini club and hey free booze for 5hrs. also i wanna a place thats going to play hip-hop/top 40 music, no techno! thanks

I can help you here! The ones i like are Caramel Bar at Bellagio, Voodoo Lounge at the Rio and the best after-after hour bar is Drais in Bills gambling hall, the casino doesn t look like it would have such a cool club inside but believe me it does and this is where all the people 3am come to from Pure, Jet, Studio 54, Rain and Body English to kick back and have more drinks, you and your girls will like it!! http://www.drais.net/flash/index.php Lavo is also a good club, if your going NYE they will most likely have some type of package you can buy, depending on the club it can be $100-$1000 entry a person depending what it comes with and the package you choose for what club or lounge you want to go to. I never been to cathouse or Hawaiian Tropic Zone.. I would go with Caramel at Bellagio and then on to Drais at Bills, that will really impress the ladies!!
