    City Description

    Bay Shore is a hamlet (and census-designated place), located in the town of Islip, County of Suffolk, New York, United States. Bay Shore celebrated its 300 year anniversary in 2008. The population was 23,852 at the 2000 census. Bay Shore has a railroad station of the Long Island Rail Road, which serves both commuters and vacationers as a major gateway to Fire Island. Before being officially named Bay Shore in the late 19th century, the hamlet was earlier known by the local Native American names Penataquit and, later, Awixa. The oldest structure in Bay Shore is Sagtikos Manor. The earliest part of the sprawling house was built in 1692 by New York City's first native born mayor, Stephanus Van Cortlandt. The manor functioned for a time during the American Revolution as local headquarters for British forces. George Washington used it as a stopover during a 1790 tour of Long Island. Like nearby Babylon Village, Bay Shore became renowned in the late 19th century for its shopping district and resorts. With its convenient and appealing location along the Great South Bay and access to Fire Island, Bay Shore became popular with affluent New Yorkers looking to escape the city. It was a

    1st Degree Murder, 4th Degree Assault Charge = how many years?
    Question:
    1st degree Murder 4th degree assault Charged as an adult. Back Story: **READ!!** Let's call the guy with the charges Tom, k? He's 16 years old, being charged as an adult. (He turned 16 just about 6-7 days ago, too.) He got jumped, but he still put one guy in the Intensive Care Unit, he's been there for 7 months and now they're gonna pull the plug. They've been trying to find out who did it, because they couldn't get anyone to snitch. Well, Tom's girlfriend is a stupid bitch who blamed HIM for getting SHOT 3 times in the chest. She also bitches about everything. She knew that he was jumped and put the guy in the Intensive Care Unit, so she snitched to the cops and told them she knew who did it and who it was. So Tom should only be charged with Assault, but the guy's getting the plug pulled because it's been 7 months, so it's technically murder. He lives in Long Island, New York. In whichever county Bay Shore is in. How many years does he face?

    Answer:
    He attacked someone and as a result, the victim was placed in ICU, and is non responsive and after 7 months, they're going to "pull the plug" (and he'll most likely die within minutes, possibly longer)... So your friend will be charged with some form of murder or manslaughter. Assault will most likely be a "lesser included offense", he's looking at probably no less than 10 years, but probably upwards of 20 since the victim eventually dies as a result of the injuries from the attack. Crimes involving weapons carry longer sentences, but he could be sentenced to life, you never know... I'd say don't expect less than 20 years, but be prepared to hear "life."

    Okay well I am writing about a big historical landmark in our town for my school newspaper...Can sum1 help w/.
    Question:
    coming up with more questions. What else could I ask? here is a description about the place: Sagtikos Manor is the oldest house in the town of Islip. Its earliest part was built in 1697 by the first native born mayor of New York City. In 1790 President George Washington spent the night here. The 42 room Manor and the remaining 10 acres are currently owned by Suffolk County. The history of this house mirrors the history of Long Island and New York State. ANd here are my questions: When was Sagtikos Manor built and by whom? Can you explain the historical background of the Manor? Can you tell us a little about the interior of the house and any important elements, if it has any? It is true that our first president, George Washington, stayed at the Manor one night in 1790? What are your feelings on this? Would you say that most people in Bay Shore would know that such an important landmark exists in their own town? wait there are more. How much/how often do people visit the Manor? About how many people are there every day? Is it true the Manor is haunted? Can you explain the story behind this? What are people’s most common reactions when you tell them the Manor is haunted? Who owns the Manor now (currently)? What are some major events that are held at the Manor annually?

    Answer:
    Contact the Suffolk County Historical Society. They may even be online. Go to the local library and do some research. Ask the librarians if they know of any information - they just might lead you right to what you want to know. Call the local (city) Historical Society. Usually a wealth of information. Have you done any web searches? Lastly, is the house open for tours? Or can you arrange a visit with the current owners? A little leg-work goes a long way.

    Can you find the false historical statement in this paragraph?
    Question:
    The first successful english colonies were founded by joint-stock companies. In 1606, two groups of merchants and adventurers asked James I for permission to form a join-stock company to found colonies in America. The Londom Company was given the right to settle the land from the Potomac south to what is now the Carolinas. The Plymouth Company was given permission to settle the region between present-day Maine and New York. Late in the summer of 1620, a small group of families set sail in two ships from the English port of Plymouth. Almost immediately, one of the ships-the Speedwell- began leaking so badly that the tiny expedition had to turn back. The group then crowded aboard the sturdier Mayflower and once again raised anchor. Nine weeks later, the passengers aestablished a colony on the inner shore of Cape Cod Bay.

    Answer:
    The first voyage of the ships departed Southampton, England, and thats the inconsistency. they didn't sail from Plymouth originally. The two ships began the voyage on August 5, 1620, but the Speedwell was leaky and returned to Dartmouth to be refitted at great expense and time. On the second attempt, Mayflower and Speedwell sailed about 100 leagues beyond Land's End in Cornwall, but the Speedwell was again found to be leaky. Both vessels returned to Plymouth where the Speedwell was sold. Eleven people from the Speedwell boarded the Mayflower, leaving 20 people to return to London while a combined company of 103 continued the voyage. They left, this time from Plymouth, on September 6 and sailed for 66 days.

    The money pit?
    Question:
    One can only wonder what would have happened if young Daniel McGinnis had chosen to go exploring somewhere else on that fateful day in the summer of 1795. If he had, perhaps nobody else would have walked the woods on the eastern end of Oak Island for the next ten years. In that time, the clearing McGinnis found might have been reclaimed completely by the woods. In a forest, the thirteen foot-wide depression in the ground might never have been noticed. Thick, leafy branches might have obscured the old tackle block hanging from a branch directly over the pit. Without these markers, there would have been nothing to indicate that this was the work of man. And there might have never been the two-hundred year long treasure hunt that cost several fortunes and many lives. But McGinnis did see the clearing and the depression and the tackle block. Visions of pirate treasure did fill his head. He did return later with two friends, John Smith, age 19, and Anthony Vaughan, age 16. And together, with picks and shovels, they did start perhaps the most famous treasure hunt of modern times. Undoubtedly, the three must have thought they were on the verge of discovering the treasure of Captain William Kidd. Stories that the captain had buried a treasure hoard on an island "east of Boston" had been circulating since the 1600's. Legend had it that a dying sailor in the New England Colonies confessed to being a part of Kidd's notorious crew, but he never named an exact location for the hidden booty. The island McGinnis, Smith and Vaughan were on was one of 300 small isles in the Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was peanut-shaped and about three-quarters of a mile long and 1,000 feet wide. Cutting away the smaller trees, the three young men started digging in the depression. After two feet they hit a floor of carefully laid flagstones. This type of slate was not found on the island and the group figured it had been brought there from about two miles north. Below the stones they saw that they were digging down a shaft that had been refilled. The walls of the shaft were scored with the marks of pick axes, more evidence that this structure was the work of men. At the ten foot level they hit wood. At first the group figured they'd hit a treasure chest, but quickly realized that they had found a platform of oaken logs sunk into the sides of the shaft. Pulling up the logs they discovered a two-foot depression and more of the shaft. Continuing to dig, they finally reached a depth of twenty-five feet. At that depth they decided they could not continue without more help and better planning. Covering the pit over, they left. One thing the three were sure of, though, was that something must be at the bottom of the pit. They concluded that nobody would have gone to the trouble of digging a shaft deeper than 25 feet unless he had something very valuable to hide. Nineteenth Century Excavations Not much more was done with the pit until around 1802. While stories differ, it seems likely that the three spent the previous years searching for a financial backer to provide assistance for a more sophisticated dig. Simeon Lynds visited the money pit that year, was impressed by the story, and formed a company to support the excavation. The work was started in the summer of 1803. After cleaning out the old pit, the crew started digging downward. Stories have it that they struck another oak platform at 30 feet below the surface. As they continued to dig they found something every ten feet: charcoal, putty, stones or more log platforms. Finally, at the 80 or 90 foot level, depending on which historical account you read, a flat stone, three feet long and one foot wide, with strange letters and figures cut into it, was found. At 93 feet deep, the floor of the pit began to turn into soft mud. Before the end of that day the crew probed the bottom of the shaft with a crowbar hoping to find something. They hit a barrier as wide and as long as the shaft. The group speculated that they'd finally reached the treasure vault and went to bed with the expectations that tomorrow a fortune would be theirs. Returning the next day, the crew was shocked to find that overnight the pit had filled with 60 feet of water. Bailing was useless. As soon as water was removed from the pit, more flowed in to take its place. An attempt was made to dig another shaft nearby and get at the treasure by running a tunnel underneath the pit, but the new shaft flooded as soon as the tunnel got close to its objective. Another attempt to find the treasure wasn't made until 1849. A new corporation was formed to finance the dig. This group wasn't much more successful, running into the same flooding problems that occurred back in 1802. They did manage to use a drill to probe what was below the money pit floor. A platform was constructed in the shaft just above the water level and the drill operated from there. The drill seemed to bore through levels of oak, spruce and clay. One sample recovered what appeared to be several links of chain made of gold. While the drilling was going on, someone noticed that the water in the pit was salty and rose and fell with the tide. This led to speculation that the builders of the pit had conceived a clever trap designed to flood the pit with water if someone got to close too the treasure. The existence of the flood trap was confirmed by the discovery that the beach of Smith's Cove, located some 500 feet away from the money pit, was artificial. Examination showed that the original clay of the cove had been dug away and in its place laid round beach stones, covered by four or five inches of dead eel grass, which was covered by coconut fiber two inches thick and finally the sand of the beach. At the bottom of all this were five box drains that apparently merged somewhere well back from the coast into a single tunnel that ran the distance to the money pit. The system was apparently designed so that the filtering action of the coconut fiber and the eel grass would ensure the drains would never be clogged by sand or gravel from the beach. It worked well. Attempts were made to put the flood trap out of business by building a cofferdam around the cove to by holding the tides back. Later, pits were dug to intersect and plug the tunnel on its route to the money pit. These failed, and this try at reaching the treasure was given up in 1851 when the money ran out. The next attempt in 1861 cost the first human life. The searchers tried to pump out the money pit using the steam engine-powered pumps. A boiler burst and one worker was scalded to death while others were injured. Further fatalities were barely avoided when the money pit's bottom, weakened by attempts to get at the treasure by digging up underneath from other shafts, collapsed. If there were any treasure chests they were probably carried much deeper by this crash. This dig did succeed in discovering where the flood tunnel entered the money pit, but there was still no way to turn off the water. By 1864 these searchers were also out of money. In 1866, 1893, 1909, 1931 and 1936 additional excavations were started. Extreme methods were used including setting dynamite charges to destroy the flood tunnel, building a dam to keep the water out of Smith's Cove, and bringing in a crane with an excavation bucket. None of these approaches recovered a single coin while costing the backers a small fortune and one worker his life. One of these efforts did manage to block off the flood tunnel from Smith's Cove, only to discover more water was pouring in from the opposite direction via a natural or man-made route from the south shore. Drilling also indicated that there might be some kind of cement vault at the 153-foot level. By this time the south end of the island was full of old shafts, though, and it was increasingly hard to tell were the original money pit was located. Searchers often ran out of money just trying to figure out where the old shaft had been. Modern Excavations In 1959 Robert Restall, a former daredevil motorcyclist, took up the challenge with the help of his 18-year-old son. By then the Smith Cove's flood tunnel had become unblocked and Restall made it his first order of business to seal it off. He had sunk a shaft to the depth of 27 feet near Smith's Cove when tragedy struck. His son found him laying at the bottom of the pit in muddy water. Climbing down to help his father, the boy suddenly fell off the ladder and lay next to him. Kal Graseser, Restall's partner, and workers Cyril Hiltz and Andy DeMont climbed down to assist, but also collapsed before reaching the bottom. Edward White, a visiting fireman from Buffalo, New York, immediately suspected carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of a nearby gasoline pump and descended the pit with a rope tied around his waist. He was able to rescue DeMont, but the others died. In one day Oak Island mystery claimed four more lives. In 1965 Robert Dunfield tried to apply modern open pit mining methods to the treasure hunt. Using a 70-ton digging crane he dug a hole at the original pit site 140 feet deep and 100 feet in diameter. The dirt was carefully sifted for any treasure, but only a few pieces of porcelain dishware were found. Heavy rains dragged the work out for months and Dunfield ran out of money. The pit, and its mystery designer, had won again. The Money Pit today. (Courtesy of Bill Milstead) In 1970 the Triton Alliance was formed to continue looking for the treasure. Legal battles between owners of different portions of the island resulted in slow progress. A number of holes were drilled in an attempt to locate the treasure and better understand the geological nature of the island, but no gold was recovered. Little work has been done in the area of the money pit itself as the soil is unstable. Often caverns, thought to be natural, have been found beneath the island. A video camera lowered down one borehole into one of these spaces recorded an image that looked like chests and a human hand severed at the wrist. The quality of the images was so poor, though, that positive identification was impossible. Triton brought the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in to survey the island in 1995 and render an opinion on whether there is something valuable at the bottom of the pit. While their report is confidential, people who have seen it say that its conclusions are "not discouraging." Currently little work is being done on the island while disputes between the owners of Triton are being settled. In addition to the money pit the rest of the island seems to be loaded with old stone markers of various types. The most peculiar of these are 6 boulders that seem to be laid out in the shape of a cross that is almost 900 feet long. Some wild speculation based on the cross suggest that Oak Island might be home to the long missing Holy Grail, but there is no real solid evidence to support this idea. Possible Culprits So, who built the money pit? And did they really put some kind of treasure down there? Was it Captain Kidd? Despite the legends it seem unlikely that Captain William Kidd ever had the chance to bury a treasure on Oak Island. He spent little time near Nova Scotia and certainly not enough to construct the money pit. Kidd did bury a cache of booty on Gardener's Island near the eastern end of Long Island Sound, but it was quickly seized by the Governor of New York. Blackbeard, who possessed perhaps the most notorious reputation of all pirates, has sometimes been mentioned in conjunction with Oak Island, but only because he once boasted he had an underground cache for his treasure, "where none but Satan and myself can find it." Certainly many of the Oak Island treasure hunters would agree that this sounds like the money pit, but the truth is there isn't any evidence that Blackbeard conducted any operations north of Delaware. In fact, it seems very unlikely that any pirate could be responsible for such a complex labyrinth as the pit. Pirates buried treasure because it offered a quick way to hide and recover their goods. A digging operation that must have taken several months just doesn't seem their style. George Bates, a land surveyor in Nova Scotia, suggested that pirates had indeed built structures on Oak Island, but not for the purpose of hiding treasure. Bate's idea was that there was enough pirate activity between 1650 and 1750 off the coast of Nova Scotia to warrant several pirate groups getting together and building a dry dock to maintain their ships. To do this they sailed their vessels into Smith's Cove and built a cofferdam to seal the tiny bay off from the ocean. The flood tunnel was used to then drain the cove and leave the ship high and dry. The water flooded down the tunnel into a large natural cave underneath the island. A windmill located on top of the money pit extracted the water so the cove could again be drained for the next ship. The weakness of Bates argument is that located on the other side of Nova Scotia, only a hundred miles away, is the Bay of Fundy. The tides in the bay drop at least 30 feet each day making it a huge natural dry dock. Why would the pirates duplicate what nature already provided? Speaking of nature, is it possible that the money pit is a natural phenomena, not a cleverly designed vault? Certainly there are natural caves under Oak Island and the depression found by McGinnis could have been a sink hole. Unless all early accounts are completely incorrect the descriptions of the platforms carefully placed at 10-foot intervals seem to ensure that at least part of the structure is man-made. Some theories suggest that the structures built on Oak Island may have been hundreds, perhaps even thousand of years old when they were discovered in 1795. They may have been built by Vikings visiting the New World, or by the native Micmac people who lived in the region before the Europeans appeared. Perhaps they were built by an advanced civilization that we know nothing about. Indeed the flood tunnel trap built into the pit in some ways reminds one of the false doors and granite plugs found in Egyptian tombs to prevent grave robbing. If any of the above theories were true why did McGinnis discover the pit in the heart of a clearing? The trees around the money pit must have been cut when it was constructed. Given the rate oak trees grow, that meant someone had built the pit not more than fifty years before McGinnis stumbled across it. Who would have hidden a treasure between 1745 and 1795? William Crooker, author of several books on the Oak Island mystery, suggests that the pit was built as a part of plot by King George III of England and several of his close advisors. On August 12, 1762, British forces captured the city of Havana, Cuba, from the Spanish. Havana was a rich, important city where much of the gold from the New World was shipped back to Spain. Two shiploads of the captured booty, Crooker suggests, was taken by the Earl of Albemarle to Oak Island. Previously the conspirators had arranged for military engineers to come to the island and build what they thought was a secret ammo dump complete with flood tunnels. Albemarle arrived with the treasure in sealed boxes. The treasure was placed in the pit, the pit was closed, and the engineers departed still thinking they had built an ammo dump. Albemarle returned to England with the idea of retrieving the treasure later. Something, perhaps the madness that afflicted King George toward the end of his life, prevented getting the booty and it was forgotten about. Crooker's theory raises another possibility, though. Suppose there is no treasure at all and the pit is simply an old ammo dump? We will only find out for sure when someone comes along who is clever enough, and rich enough, to beat the designer of the money pit and make a thorough investigation of what lies at the bottom.

    Answer:
    Pooo, ignore the complainers. It was an interesting read at any rate, and entertaining enough to make me forget there was no real question. Thanks for the rare glimpse of history!

    What do you think of my 2008 nfl mock draft?
    Question:
    1. Miami Dolphins - Chris Long DE, Virginia - Parcells will want a player to start building his team around and Chris Long is the whole package. He's a hardworker, with a non-stop motor, who can get to the QB as well as stop the run. 2. St. Louis Rams - Glenn Dorsey DT, LSU - Dorsey should fit into St. Louis like a glove. Move Adam Carricker back to his original position and you have a mean DL. 3. Atlanta Falcons - Jake Long OT, Michigan - Atlanta could definitely use some OL help. Long would be a nice addition to a poor OL and should give the QB protection. 4. Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden RB, Arkansas - McFadden is just what Al Davis dreams of at night. Even though they resigned Fargas and have Rhodes, Jordan, and Bush, they still can't pass up a specimen like McFadden. Gholston could be a possibility. 5. Kansas City Chiefs - Jeff Otah OT, Pitt - Does Kansas City reach for a much needed OT or do they take the best player available? I think that they have too much of a need for an OL to not take one. Otah is the pick. 6. New York Jets - Vernon Gholston DE, Ohio State - The Jets filled most of their glaring needs in FA, so where do they go in the draft? While I would love for them to get McFadden, I just don't see him falling past Oakland. Vernon Gholston would add a lot more of a pass rush that Pace already gives. This could be a great addition for the Jets. 7. New England Patriots - Leodis McKelvin CB, Troy (Trade down) - New England still needs help in the secondary, even with the signing of Fernando Bryant. However, I believe they will find a trading partner who wants Sedrick Ellis. If they can't trade out of the spot, I think they go with McKelvin. 8. Baltimore Ravens - Matt Ryan QB, BC - What else could Baltimore possibly hope for than for Matt Ryan to fall into their laps? Perfect situation for the Ravens. 9. Cincinnati Bengals - Sedrick Ellis DT, USC - Whether they trade up or stay where they are, I believe they will get Ellis. If not Ellis, then definitely Keith Rivers. 10. New Orleans Saints - Keith Rivers LB, USC - The Saints don't really have too many glaring needs. They signed Randall Gay and have Mike McKenzie and Jason David. Why not grab the best LB available for the future? 11. Buffalo Bills - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB, Tennessee State - The Bills could take a WR here, but there isn't any WR really worth taking at 11. They could definitley add another CB, and why not one of the most athletic in the draft in DRC? 12. Denver Broncos - Ryan Clady OT, Boise St. - It's pretty clear the Broncos need an OT, WR, and LB. I don't see them taking a WR this early and since Keith Rivers is gone, they go with Clady. 13. Carolina Panthers - Derrick Harvey DE, Florida - The Panthers have a lot of needs. I could definitely see them taking Rashard Mendenhall, but they really need a DE and Harvey is a good one. 14. Chicago Bears - Chris Williams OT, Vanderbilt - Oh the Chicago Bears. What is the deal with them? Resigning Rex Grossman? They are shot on WR after losing Berrian, need another QB, need a lot of OL help, and need secondary help. Chris Williams is still there and you need an OL after losing Fred Miller and Reuben Brown. 15. Detroit Lions - Rashard Mendenhall RB, Illinois - While they could very well take Mike Jenkins or Aquib Talib, and do need to replace Damien Woody even though their are no more OL worth taking here, they did sign Dwight Smith and Brian Kelly, so why not take the best RB available? 16. Arizona Cardinals - Mike Jenkins CB, USF - The signing of Travis Laboy fills the need at DE. They still need help in that secondary. Mike Jenkins was once considered the best CB in the draft. They luck out with this pick. 17. Minnesota Vikings - Phillip Merling DE, Clemson - While Derrick Harvey could slip to the Vikings, I don't see it happening. The Vikes could be scared by the surgery Merling got to fix a sports hernia, but grab him anyway. 18. Houston Texans - Jonathan Stewart RB, Oregon - I was so tempted to put Godser Cherilus here, but they are bone dry at RB. Ahman Green is getting older and Darius Walker isn't the answer. Stewart would be a great steal for the Texans here. 19. Philadelphia Eagles - Kenny Phillips S, Miami - Even with the signing of Asante Samuel, they still need someone to put next to Brian Dawkins. 20. Tampa Bay Bucs - Desean Jackson WR, Cal - I think it's pretty much obvious this pick will be used on a WR. The question is which one. I think Tampa looks at the speedy, game changing Desean Jackson and use his return ability to their advantage, something that has been missing in Tampa for a long time. 21. Washington Redskins - Malcolm Kelly WR, Oklahoma - I can see Washington going for a DE here, but they still need to add a possession WR like Malcolm Kelly. They have Moss and Randle El, and Kelly would be the big WR. My other pick for the Skins would be Quentin Groves. 22. Dallas Cowboys - Aquib Talib CB, Kansas - One of Dallas' glaring needs is CB. They lost Jaque Reeves to FA and Terrence Newman can't cover everyone. Good pick with Talib here. 23. Pittsburgh Steelers - Brenden Albert OG, Virginia - This is probably one of the most unanimous picks in every mock draft. After losing Faneca to FA, the Steelers need a guard. Brandon Albert fits the bill perfectly. 24. Tennessee Titans - Limas Sweed WR, Texas - How many people have to say the Titans need a WR before they actually draft one in the 1st round? Sweed falls right into their laps and have no choice but to draft him. My other choice is Jerod Mayo. 25. Seattle Seahawks - Devin Thomas WR, Michigan St. - Not too many needs for the Seahawks. Why not add another WR to the mix? They could go TE here, but why not address it in the 2nd round. 26. Jacksonville Jaguars - Kentwan Balmer DT, UNC - With the exiting of Marcus Stroud and Bobby McCray, they need a DL. The question is, which one? I believe they could go for Calais Campbell here, but take Balmer because after Balmer, the DT talent really drops off. 27. San Diego Chargers - Godsher Cherilus OT, BC - San Diego is another team with no really glaring needs except for CB. San Diego always seems to throw a curveball of what everyone expects them to do. Godser Cherilus would shore up the OL after losing Shane Olivea. 28. Dallas Cowboys - Felix Jones RB, Arkansas - With the loss of Julius Jones and the pick of Aquib Talib 6 picks ago, they add speedy Felix Jones to the RB mix. 29. San Francisco 49ers - Quentin Groves DE, Auburn - While they did sign Justin Smith, they could still use a DE on the other side. Groves would add to the already nice pass rush of Smith and Manny Lawson. 30. Green Bay Packers - Reggie Smith CB, Oklahoma - The Pack will groom this kid to play either safety or CB. My other choice here is Brandon Flowers. 31. New England Patriots - Pick Forfeited 32. New York Giants - Jerod Mayo LB, Tennessee - After losing Kawika Mitchell, Reggie Torbor, and Gibril Wilson, they have some holes to fill. Mayo brings the combo of speed and athleticism. He is an absolute tackling machine. He's a great add to the Giants' LB core. I actually did this mock myself....no copy and paste from other sites.

    Answer:
    Man what are you people GRAMMAR POLICE. you act like you never copy or pasted anything before. This isn't a term paper morons. I agree completely with your mock draft, but dont be suprised if ATL trades up for our pick just to get matt ryan and Dallas then trades with us to get Mcfadden. leaving us(DOLPHINS) with 2 late 1st round picks and 4 high 2nd round picks.
