Recorded on August 17, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder on the "Brewster Flats" of Cape Cod. At low tide (as seen here) you can walk nearly a mile out on sand or through very shallow water.
Words and music (c) (p) 2010 by Lloyd Miller. Inspired by the stories of the prisoners who died aboard the prison ships anchored in Wallabout Bay during the Revolutionary War. Over 10,000 soldiers in the Continental Army died on these ships. The most infamous vessel was known as "Old Jersey."
Wallabout Bay is located near the present-day Brooklyn Naval Yard (where your car gets towed).
The Deedle Deedle Dees debuted this song July 28, 2010, at their concert in Fort Greene Park, where there is a big monument to the prison ship martyrs. The bones of some of the prisoners lie underneath this monument.

An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn New York City By Bicycle
History:
a present day borough of the New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.
The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity.
On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

Anthony Long and the Brooklyn Paranormal Society investigates picturesque Fort Greene Park nestled in the heart of Brooklyn. Little do people know that the park houses a crypt where the remains of dead soldiers are interred. Join us as we penetrate into the mysteries of this haunted piece of real estate.
Read more from Wiki:
"One of the park's distinctive features is the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument. During the Revolutionary War, the British had kept American prisoners on ships in Wallabout Bay under terrible conditions. Around 11,500 prisoners died from disease and malnutrition. Olmsted and Vaux envisioned a crypt to hold their remains, with an appropriate monument. The crypt was built, and the remains of the prisoners were re-interred there in 1873. There was also a small monument."

Breathtaking View from Atlantic Ocean Of Brooklyn & Staten Island New York City
Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough with 2.5 million residents, and second largest in area. It is also the western most county on Long Island.
Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State and the second most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan).
Brooklyn was an independent city until its consolidation with New York City in 1898, and continues to maintain a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural heritage. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves where particular ethnic groups and cultures predominate.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in the area on the western end of Long Island, then largely inhabited by a Native American people, the Lenape (often erroneously referred to by the Lenape place-name, "Canarsee", in contemporary colonial documents). The first Dutch settlements, established in 1634, were called Midwout (Midwood) and Flatbush (Vlacke Bos).The Dutch also purchased land during the 1630s from the Mohawks in present-day Gowanus, Red Hook, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Bushwick.The Village of Breuckelen, named for Breukelen in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands, was authorized by the Dutch West India Company in 1646; it became the first true municipality in what is now New York State. At the time, Breuckelen was part of New Netherland. Other villages which were later incorporated into Brooklyn were Boswijk (Bushwick), Nieuw Utrecht (New Utrecht), and Nieuw Amersfoort (Flatlands). A few houses and cemeteries still bear witness to the Dutch origins of the borough of Brooklyn.
The Dutch lost Breuckelen in the British conquest of New Netherland in 1664. In 1683, the British reorganized the Province of New York into twelve counties, each of which was sub-divided into towns. Over time, the name evolved from Breuckelen, to Brockland, to Brocklin, to Brookline, to Brookland and eventually, to Brooklyn.Kings County was one of the original counties, and Brooklyn was one of the original six towns within Kings County. The county was named in honor of King Charles II of England.
In August and September of 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also called the Battle of Brooklyn) was fought in Kings County. It was the first major battle in the American Revolutionary War following the Declaration of Independence and the largest battle of the entire conflict. While General George Washington's defeat on the battlefield may have cast early doubts on his abilities as a military tactician and leader, he did keep the Continental Army intact with a brilliant overnight tactical retreat, across the East River, a maneuver seen by historians as one of his greatest practical accomplishments.
New York became the British political and military base of operations in North America. This encouraged the departure of patriots and their sympathizers while attracting loyalist refugees fleeing the other colonies. Loyalists swelled the population of the surrounding area, including Brooklyn. Correspondingly, the region became the focus of General Washington's intelligence activities (see Intelligence in the American Revolutionary War). The British also began to hold American patriot prisoners-of-war in rotting hulks anchored in Wallabout Bay off Brooklyn. More American prisoners died in these prison-ships than the sum of all the American battle casualties of the Revolutionary War.

Wallabout dates back to the 17th century. It is one of the oldest areas of Brooklyn, in the area that was once Wallabout Bay but has largely been filled in and is now the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It is a mixed use area with an array of old wood frame buildings, public housing, brick townhouses and warehouses. It is bounded by Navy Street to the West, the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the north, Myrtle Avenue to the south and Classon Avenue to the east. The Lefferts-Laidlaw House was built about 1840 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Wallabout Bay is small body of water in Upper New York Bay along the northwest shore of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, between the present Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges, opposite Corlear's Hook on Manhattan to the west, across the East River. Wallabout Bay now abuts the site of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The Wallabout became the first spot on Long Island settled by Europeans when several families of French-speaking Walloons opted to purchase land there in the early 1630s, having arrived in New Netherland in the previous decade from Holland. Settlement of the area began in the mid-1630s when Joris Jansen Rapelje exchanged trade goods with the Canarsee Indians for some 335 acres (1.36 km2) of land at Wallabout Bay, but Rapelje, like other early Wallabout settlers, waited at least a decade before relocating fulltime to the area, until conflicts with the tribes had been resolved.
Most historical accounts put Rapelje's house as the first house built at Wallabout Bay. His daughter Sarah was the first child born of European parentage in New Netherland, and Rapelje later served as a Brooklyn magistrate as well as a member of the Council of Twelve Men. Rapelje's son-in-law Hans Hansen Bergen owned a large tract adjoining Rapelje's. Nearby were tobacco plantations belonging to Jan and Peter Montfort, Peter Caesar Alberto, and other farmers.

Wallabout Bay (featuring Lloyd of the Deedle Deedle Dees)Wallabout Bay (featuring Lloyd of the Deedle Deedle Dees)
Recorded on August 17, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder on the "Brewster Flats" of Cape Cod. At low tide (as seen here) you can walk nearly a mile out on sand or through very shallow water. Words and music (c) (p) 2010 by Lloyd Miller. Inspired by the stories of the prisoners who died aboard the prison ships anchored in Wallabout Bay during the Revolutionary War. Over 10,000 soldiers in the Continental Army died on these ships. The most infamous vessel was known as "Old Jersey." Wallabout Bay is located near the present-day Brooklyn Naval Yard (where your car gets towed). The Deedle Deedle Dees debuted this song July 28, 2010, at their concert in Fort Greene Park, where there is a big monument to the prison ship martyrs. The bones of some of the prisoners lie underneath this monument. -

http://myworldtravel.weebly.com An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn New York City By Bicycle History: a present day borough of the New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661 Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653. What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York. The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity. On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

Anthony Long and the Brooklyn Paranormal Society investigates picturesque Fort Greene Park nestled in the heart of Brooklyn. Little do people know that the park houses a crypt where the remains of dead soldiers are interred. Join us as we penetrate into the mysteries of this haunted piece of real estate. Read more from Wiki: "One of the park's distinctive features is the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument. During the Revolutionary War, the British had kept American prisoners on ships in Wallabout Bay under terrible conditions. Around 11,500 prisoners died from disease and malnutrition. Olmsted and Vaux envisioned a crypt to hold their remains, with an appropriate monument. The crypt was built, and the remains of the prisoners were re-interred there in 1873. There was also a small monument." Video shot and edited by https://twitter.com/AndrewArnett Website: http://orangebeefpress.com Join Brooklyn Paranormal Society @ http://bkps.co -

For more check out http://myworldtravel.weebly.com Breathtaking View from Atlantic Ocean Of Brooklyn & Staten Island New York City Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough with 2.5 million residents, and second largest in area. It is also the western most county on Long Island. Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State and the second most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan). Brooklyn was an independent city until its consolidation with New York City in 1898, and continues to maintain a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural heritage. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves where particular ethnic groups and cultures predominate. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in the area on the western end of Long Island, then largely inhabited by a Native American people, the Lenape (often erroneously referred to by the Lenape place-name, "Canarsee", in contemporary colonial documents). The first Dutch settlements, established in 1634, were called Midwout (Midwood) and Flatbush (Vlacke Bos).The Dutch also purchased land during the 1630s from the Mohawks in present-day Gowanus, Red Hook, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Bushwick.The Village of Breuckelen, named for Breukelen in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands, was authorized by the Dutch West India Company in 1646; it became the first true municipality in what is now New York State. At the time, Breuckelen was part of New Netherland. Other villages which were later incorporated into Brooklyn were Boswijk (Bushwick), Nieuw Utrecht (New Utrecht), and Nieuw Amersfoort (Flatlands). A few houses and cemeteries still bear witness to the Dutch origins of the borough of Brooklyn. The Dutch lost Breuckelen in the British conquest of New Netherland in 1664. In 1683, the British reorganized the Province of New York into twelve counties, each of which was sub-divided into towns. Over time, the name evolved from Breuckelen, to Brockland, to Brocklin, to Brookline, to Brookland and eventually, to Brooklyn.Kings County was one of the original counties, and Brooklyn was one of the original six towns within Kings County. The county was named in honor of King Charles II of England. In August and September of 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also called the Battle of Brooklyn) was fought in Kings County. It was the first major battle in the American Revolutionary War following the Declaration of Independence and the largest battle of the entire conflict. While General George Washington's defeat on the battlefield may have cast early doubts on his abilities as a military tactician and leader, he did keep the Continental Army intact with a brilliant overnight tactical retreat, across the East River, a maneuver seen by historians as one of his greatest practical accomplishments. New York became the British political and military base of operations in North America. This encouraged the departure of patriots and their sympathizers while attracting loyalist refugees fleeing the other colonies. Loyalists swelled the population of the surrounding area, including Brooklyn. Correspondingly, the region became the focus of General Washington's intelligence activities (see Intelligence in the American Revolutionary War). The British also began to hold American patriot prisoners-of-war in rotting hulks anchored in Wallabout Bay off Brooklyn. More American prisoners died in these prison-ships than the sum of all the American battle casualties of the Revolutionary War. -

This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity. On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn New York City By Bicycle Bensonhurst Bath Beach Part 6An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn New York City By Bicycle Bensonhurst Bath Beach Part 6
http://myworldtravel.weebly.com This Is Part 6 Of a tour of the neighborhoods Of Bensonhurst And Bath Beach Brooklyn, New York for the very time by bicycle. This Is the beginning of a series of Tours Of the entire borough of Brooklyn New York. There will be more to come so please subscribe to know right away when the next one is done. History: a present-day borough of New York City, spans more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century as the small Dutch-founded town of "Breuckelen" on the East River shore of Long Island, grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century, and, in 1898, was consolidated with the New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661 Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653. What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York. The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York.

Brooklyn Paranormal Society: Deep Inside Fort Greene Park
Anthony Long and the Brooklyn Paranormal Society investigates picturesque Fort Greene Park nestled in the heart of Brooklyn. Little do people know that the park houses a crypt where the remains of dead soldiers are interred. Join us as we penetrate into the mysteries of this haunted piece of real estate. Read more from Wiki: "One of the park's distinctive features is the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument. During the Revolutionary War, the British had kept American prisoners on ships in Wallabout Bay under terrible conditions. Around 11,500 prisoners died from disease and malnutrition. Olmsted and Vaux envisioned a crypt to hold their remains, with an appropriate monument. The crypt was built, and the remains of the prisoners were re-interred there in 1873. There was also a small monument." ... -

An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn New York City By Bicycle
History:
a present day borough of the New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.
The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity.
On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

Anthony Long and the Brooklyn Paranormal Society investigates picturesque Fort Greene Park nestled in the heart of Brooklyn. Little do people know that the park houses a crypt where the remains of dead soldiers are interred. Join us as we penetrate into the mysteries of this haunted piece of real estate.
Read more from Wiki:
"One of the park's distinctive features is the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument. During the Revolutionary War, the British had kept American prisoners on ships in Wallabout Bay under terrible conditions. Around 11,500 prisoners died from disease and malnutrition. Olmsted and Vaux envisioned a crypt to hold their remains, with an appropriate monument. The crypt was built, and the remains of the prisoners were re-interred there in 1873. There was also a small monument."

British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

History:
a present day borough of the New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.
The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity.
On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict.

Breathtaking View from Atlantic Ocean Of Brooklyn & Staten Island New York City
Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough with 2.5 million residents, and second largest in area. It is also the western most county on Long Island.
Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State and the second most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan).
Brooklyn was an independent city until its consolidation with New York City in 1898, and continues to maintain a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural heritage. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves where particular ethnic groups and cultures predominate.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in the area on the western end of Long Island, then largely inhabited by a Native American people, the Lenape (often erroneously referred to by the Lenape place-name, "Canarsee", in contemporary colonial documents). The first Dutch settlements, established in 1634, were called Midwout (Midwood) and Flatbush (Vlacke Bos).The Dutch also purchased land during the 1630s from the Mohawks in present-day Gowanus, Red Hook, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Bushwick.The Village of Breuckelen, named for Breukelen in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands, was authorized by the Dutch West India Company in 1646; it became the first true municipality in what is now New York State. At the time, Breuckelen was part of New Netherland. Other villages which were later incorporated into Brooklyn were Boswijk (Bushwick), Nieuw Utrecht (New Utrecht), and Nieuw Amersfoort (Flatlands). A few houses and cemeteries still bear witness to the Dutch origins of the borough of Brooklyn.
The Dutch lost Breuckelen in the British conquest of New Netherland in 1664. In 1683, the British reorganized the Province of New York into twelve counties, each of which was sub-divided into towns. Over time, the name evolved from Breuckelen, to Brockland, to Brocklin, to Brookline, to Brookland and eventually, to Brooklyn.Kings County was one of the original counties, and Brooklyn was one of the original six towns within Kings County. The county was named in honor of King Charles II of England.
In August and September of 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also called the Battle of Brooklyn) was fought in Kings County. It was the first major battle in the American Revolutionary War following the Declaration of Independence and the largest battle of the entire conflict. While General George Washington's defeat on the battlefield may have cast early doubts on his abilities as a military tactician and leader, he did keep the Continental Army intact with a brilliant overnight tactical retreat, across the East River, a maneuver seen by historians as one of his greatest practical accomplishments.
New York became the British political and military base of operations in North America. This encouraged the departure of patriots and their sympathizers while attracting loyalist refugees fleeing the other colonies. Loyalists swelled the population of the surrounding area, including Brooklyn. Correspondingly, the region became the focus of General Washington's intelligence activities (see Intelligence in the American Revolutionary War). The British also began to hold American patriot prisoners-of-war in rotting hulks anchored in Wallabout Bay off Brooklyn. More American prisoners died in these prison-ships than the sum of all the American battle casualties of the Revolutionary War.

History:
a present-day borough of New York City, spans more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century as the small Dutch-founded town of "Breuckelen" on the East River shore of Long Island, grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century, and, in 1898, was consolidated with the New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names):
* Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody
* Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands
* Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647
* Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652
* New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands
* Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.
The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity.
On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

This Is the beginning of a series of Tours Of the entire borough of Brooklyn New York. There will be more to come so please subscribe to know right away when the next one is done.
History:
a present-day borough of New York City, spans more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century as the small Dutch-founded town of "Breuckelen" on the East River shore of Long Island, grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century, and, in 1898, was consolidated with the New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names):
* Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody
* Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands
* Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647
* Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652
* New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands
* Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661

History:
a present day borough of New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.
The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity.
On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

History:
a present day borough of New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.

Visiting Wat Suan Dok in Chiang Mai [HD]
After spending a few hours in a coffee shop in teh Nimman area of Chiang Mai we went for a walk and came across this beautiful Buddhist temple. Wat Suan Dok, built in late 14th century, houses several structures of historical significance. Among them include the principal pagoda that enshrines the Buddha's relics, a garden of whitewashed mausoleums housing the ashes of late Chiang Mai rulers and a large open-air wiharn (assembly hall). The temple is found outside the old city wall, about 1km east of Suan Dok Gate on Suthep Road. Built by a King of Chiang Mai on the grounds of his pleasure garden, this temple was originally intended to serve as a retreat for a revered monk from Sukothai. Next to the mausoleum garden is the golden principal pagoda, built in Lankan style and set on a rais... -

Window Escape Blocking Wall Going Up About to Block First Floor Windows
The wall about to block out our first floor windows going up. I noticed no steel reinforcement placed in the wall so far. The builder must plan to insert them just before adding the second floor. A strong wind could topple it before the concrete hardens in my opinion. There were no pilings driven into the soaked earth around the foundations either. I hope this building does not fall over onto our house. -

Driving Down Into Waipio Valley: The Truth
We rented a 4WD Jeep a couple times while visiting the Big Island. It came in real handy when we decided to drive down in to Waipio Valley! The steep grade is unnerving! How steep is it? 25%!!!! This means you are losing 1/4 of distance traveled in altitude! So if you go 100 feet of level distance, you drop (or raise) 25 feet of altitude. That's how a grade is defined. We drove down and parked near the beach. Keep in mind that vehicles coming uphill and hikers have the right of way. So as you are driving down, stop at the wider sections of road to let them pass as it is barely wide enough for one vehicle most of the way. Once at the bottom, we hiked across the blacksand beach to the opposing valley wall (about a mile). We then hiked up the switchback trail to a point ab... -
The Dead Man Anchor - "Tip Of The Week" E32
The Dead Man Anchor is an extremely effective technique for securing your tent when camping in moderate to deep snow. This method is often used by mountaineers under some of the most adverse conditions that can be encountered in the outdoors. Common tent stakes (and often even snow specific stakes) are very ineffective and prone to failure in the snow and severe weather that we sometimes face in "the 4th season". By utilizing this simple technique you can be assured that your Winter tent (or tarp) camping experience will be a success, and your shelter will remain standing even through the nastiest of Winter storms. * This technique is also very effective for use in sand as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IntenseAngler's "Tip Of The Week... -

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

Movie Info:
The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976)
Based on the novel by William Brasher, The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings is set in the segregated south of 1939. African-American baseball pitcher Bingo Long (Billy Dee Williams), tired of being jerked around by the less-than-ethical managers of the Negro League teams, forms his own barnstorming ball club. His partner in this endeavor is black catcher Leon Carter (James Earl Jones). Though boycotted by powerful Negro League manager Sallison Porter (Ted Ross), the Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings flourish, gaining a loyal fandom with every new game and cutting into the League's profits. Finally, Porter offers Long a deal: if the Motor Kings can win one big game with the Negro All-Stars, Long's team will be allowed to join the League. Also appearing in Bingo Long is Richard Pryor as a ballplayer who tries to break through the big-league color line by pretending to be everything from a Hispanic to a Native American named "Chief Tokohama"; if Pryor seems to disappear for long periods during the film, it's because his role was written to accommodate his many nightclub appearances. The producers originally wanted young Steven Spielberg to direct, but -- inspired by the success of Jaws -- he turned this down in favor of doing Close Encounters of the Third Kind. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

History:
a present day borough of New York City, it dates back more than 350 years. The settlement began in the seventeenth century which was founded by the Dutch was named "Breuckelen" grew to be a sizable city in the nineteenth century. In 1898 It was consolidated with New York City (then Manhattan and part of The Bronx) and with the rural areas of Queens and Staten Island, to form the modern New York City.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area on the western edge of Long Island, which was then largely inhabited by the Lenape Indians, a Native American people who are often referred to in contemporary colonial documents by a variation of the place name "Canarsie." The "Breuckelen" settlement, named after Breukelen in the Netherlands, was part of New Netherland, and the Dutch West India Company lost little time in chartering the six original parishes (listed here first by their later, more common English names): * Gravesend: in 1645, settled under Dutch patent by English followers of the Anabaptist, Lady Deborah Moody * Brooklyn: as "Breuckelen" in 1646, after the town now spelled Breukelen, Netherlands * Flatlands: as "New Amersfoort" in 1647 * Flatbush: as "Midwout" in 1652 * New Utrecht: in 1657, after the city of Utrecht, Netherlands * Bushwick: as "Boswijck" in 1661
Many incidents and documents relating to this period are in Gabriel Furman's early (1824) compilation
The capital of the colony, New Amsterdam across the river, obtained its charter later than Brooklyn did, in 1653.
What is today Brooklyn left Dutch hands after the final English conquest of New Netherland in 1664, in a prelude to the Second AngloDutch War. New Netherland was taken in a naval action, and the conquerors renamed their prize in honor of the overall English naval commander, James, Duke of York; Brooklyn became a part of the Province of New York.
The English organized the six old Dutch towns of southwestern Long Island as Kings County on November 1, 1683,one of twelve counties then established in New York. This tract of land was recognized as a political entity for the first time, and the municipal groundwork was laid for a later expansive idea of Brooklyn identity.
On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Long Island (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) was the first major engagement fought in the American Revolutionary War after independence was declared, and the largest of the entire conflict. British troops forced Continental Army troops under George Washington off the heights near the modern sites of Green-Wood Cemetery, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza. Washington, viewing particularly fierce fighting at the Gowanus Creek from his vantage point atop a hill near the west end of present-day Atlantic Avenue, was famously reported to have emotionally exclaimed: "What brave men I must this day lose!" The fortified American positions at Brooklyn Heights consequently became untenable and were evacuated a few days later, leaving the British in control of New York Harbor. While Washington's defeat on the battlefield cast early doubts on his ability as commander, the subsequent tactical withdrawal of all his troops and supplies across the East River in a single night is seen by historians as one of his most brilliant triumphs
The surrounding region was controlled by the British for the duration of the war, as New York City was soon occupied and became their military and political base of operations in North America for the remainder of the conflict. The British generally enjoyed a dominant Loyalist sentiment from the remaining residents in Kings County who did not evacuate, though the region was also the center of the fledgling — and largely successful — American intelligence network, headed by Washington himself. The British set up a system of notorious prison ships off the coast of Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay, where more American patriots died of intentional neglect than died in combat on all the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, combined. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 resulted, in part, with the evacuation of the British from New York City, celebrated by residents into the 20th century.

After spending a few hours in a coffee shop in teh Nimman area of Chiang Mai we went for a walk and came across this beautiful Buddhist temple.
Wat Suan Dok, built in late 14th century, houses several structures of historical significance. Among them include the principal pagoda that enshrines the Buddha's relics, a garden of whitewashed mausoleums housing the ashes of late Chiang Mai rulers and a large open-air wiharn (assembly hall).
The temple is found outside the old city wall, about 1km east of Suan Dok Gate on Suthep Road. Built by a King of Chiang Mai on the grounds of his pleasure garden, this temple was originally intended to serve as a retreat for a revered monk from Sukothai.
Next to the mausoleum garden is the golden principal pagoda, built in Lankan style and set on a raised whitewashed square base. On each of the four sides, there's an opening which allows access to the pagoda. Inside, it houses the Buddha's relics brought over from another temple in Sukhothai.
The assembly hall -- an open-air pavilion with low, sweeping roofs and wrap-around terraces -- lies next to the principal pagoda. Its large, open-sided structure is considered unique, as the assembly halls are almost always closed structures. Inside the assembly hall, the two main Buddha images, one in a sitting meditation posture and the other standing, face the opposite directions. A smaller Buddha image, set right in front of the sitting Buddha, is in similar style.
The principal Buddha image is housed inside the ordination hall. Sitting at 4.7 metres tall, it is cast in the ancient Chiang Saen style.

What's up everybody? It's Bird from Birdknowsbest.com doing a review on the Brookstone HDMI pocket projector, full 1080P. Quick overview of what you get in the box, you get a HDMI to mini HDMI port, you also get the power adaptor, and then you get a little nice little satchel here to keep it in so it doesn't get dirty. And I'll go over a quick what the projector consists of and then I'll do a demonstration for you.
So the projector is here. You can see the size of it. Here's my phone. I got an Evo 4G LTE so it's about the size of my phone. It's a little more square obviously but it's a great little projector. It shoots a really good beam especially at night obviously. And then at the back of it you've got your audio out and then you've get a USB out and right there you've got your HDMI out and then your power adaptor there. The other thing is this is also holds about an hour and a half charge so you don't need to plug it in. So if you're going to be somewhere for like a presentation or something, you can just charge it up and then go from there which is a nice little option to have. And then on the side, you've got a focus button right there to focus your image, but it works great. And then you've got obviously power, sorry, on the side here. But it works great, I'll set it up, I'll try to get a day shot, and then a night shot. I'm just going to connect to my phone, put some Family Guy on so you guys can get a look at what it looks like during the day and the night, and we'll do that after this.
Alright. So I go the projector connect to my Asus TF300 tablet and you can see this is midday and you can kind of see I'm trying to get closer here to see what the screen looks like. I got Ski Safari up on the pad. You could see it probably looks a little lighter than it actually is. It's totally watchable right now. It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon here in Phoenix so it's fairly bright. I've got the shades dim but there not all the way shut. You get a good look. The other couple thing I want to show you on this was if you hit this button here, and with that button will do, if you can see that, it changes the mode and then you've got if you hit this button and it lights up. Light up, there you go. Lights up. So you've got volume up here and the volume down. Like I said, when you going to use it, you probably want to connect it to that jack right there, your audio jack. What I do is I connect my tablet or my phone to it and then use one of the jam box speakers to play the music wirelessly off the device and then just use this for the video. So if this is on the day. I'll you a little darker and see how much better it looks.
Alright. So here's the projector about 5 o'clock. The sun's not completely down. I don't have the screen size adjusted. It's probably running about 32 inches now and it's not square because I'm just doing this for this demonstration but as you can see, there's my couch. It's just on the wall about it. It looks pretty good. This is Ski Safari running on my Asus TF300 tablet. So here's the project here connected to the tablet and you notice there's no power cord. I'm just running off the battery, the 2 hour—let's say an hour and a half charge that it proclaims to have. So it's a great projector. It's the Brookstone Mini Pocket Projector. I'll show you the box here. That's what it is, the HDMI Pocket Projector. I highly suggest it, great little pocket projector if you need it. Business meeting if you want to take it somewhere camping and have a big screen video.

The wall about to block out our first floor windows going up.
I noticed no steel reinforcement placed in the wall so far.
The builder must plan to insert them just before adding the second floor.
A strong wind could topple it before the concrete hardens in my opinion.
There were no pilings driven into the soaked earth around the foundations either.
I hope this building does not fall over onto our house.

Williamsburg is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, bordering Greenpoint, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick and the East River. The neighborhood is part of Brooklyn Community Board 1. The neighborhood is served by the NYPD's 90th Precinct. In the City Council the western and southern part of the neighborhood is represented by the 33rd District; and the eastern part of the neighborhood is represented by the 34th District.
Many ethnic groups have enclaves within Williamsburg, including Germans, Hasidic Jews, Italians, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans. The neighborhood is also a magnet for young people[who?] moving to the city, and is an influential hub for indie rock and hipster culture. Williamsburg is home to a thriving art community, which is largely associated with one of its main thoroughfares, Bedford Avenue. The sometimes-clashing definitions have been highlighted by a growing population and rapid development of housing and retail that is changing the look and feel of the neighborhood.
Early history
In 1638 the Dutch West India Company first purchased the area's land from the local Native Americans. In 1661, the company chartered the Town of Boswijck, including land that would later become Williamsburg. After the English takeover of New Netherland in 1664, the town's name was anglicized to Bushwick. During colonial times, villagers called the area "Bushwick Shore." This name lasted for about 140 years. Bushwick Shore was cut off from the other villages in Bushwick by Bushwick Creek to the north and by Cripplebush, a region of thick, boggy shrub land which extended from Wallabout Creek to Newtown Creek, to the south and east. Bushwick residents called Bushwick Shore "the Strand." Farmers and gardeners from the other Bushwick villages sent their goods to Bushwick Shore to be ferried across the East River to New York City for sale via a market at present day Grand Street. Bushwick Shore's favorable location close to New York City led to the creation of several farming developments. In 1802, real estate speculator Richard M. Woodhull acquired 13 acres (53,000 m²) near what would become Metropolitan Avenue, then North 2nd Street. He had Colonel Jonathan Williams, a U.S. Engineer, survey the property, and named it Williamsburgh (with an h at the end) in his honor. Originally a 13-acre (53,000 m2) development within Bushwick Shore, Williamsburgh rapidly expanded during the first half of the nineteenth century and eventually seceded from Bushwick and formed its own independent city.

Driving Down Into Waipio Valley: The Truth

The steep grade ...
We rented a 4WD Jeep a couple times while visiting the Big Island. It came in real handy when we decided to drive down in to Waipio Valley!
The steep grade is unnerving! How steep is it? 25%!!!! This means you are losing 1/4 of distance traveled in altitude! So if you go 100 feet of level distance, you drop (or raise) 25 feet of altitude. That's how a grade is defined.
We drove down and parked near the beach. Keep in mind that vehicles coming uphill and hikers have the right of way. So as you are driving down, stop at the wider sections of road to let them pass as it is barely wide enough for one vehicle most of the way.
Once at the bottom, we hiked across the blacksand beach to the opposing valley wall (about a mile). We then hiked up the switchback trail to a point above the treeline for an awesome view back into the valley. That view of Hiilawe Falls is not possible from the Lookout, where most tourists must halt their journey. As a matter of fact, you cannot see Hi'ilawe Falls unless you go down into the valley.
After getting some video and snapshots from this unique perspective, we returned to the Jeep and drove further into the valley. We got a closer view of Hiilawe Falls, but not much else. The river/stream covers large sections of the "road" down here and areas of washout were apparent. But your view is limited along much of the drive by the high vegetation (apparent in the video) on both sides of the trail.
On our drive back up the access road on a previous trip, we came across an older couple (in their 60's) who had decided to walk down and were now attempting the arduous hike back up. We stopped and offered a ride. The lady said yes, the man said no. She didn't think twice about leaving her hubby! :) We drove her to the top and dropped her by her car.
In order to traverse this grade, you need the extra low gears of the 4WD's transfer case, both to slow your descent without using your brakes AND to be able to climb back up without overheating the transmission. If you know how to operate these vehicles, they certainly open possibilities for exploration. However, keep in mind that if you drive your rental down here, you are violating your rental agreement. So any damage to the vehicle will come directly out of your pocket, regardless if you chose the rental insurance or not.
For a map of legal access roads in the valley and more details, look here:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&source;=s_q&hl;=en&geocode;=&q;=Waipio+Valley,&sll;=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn;=34.808514,56.25&ie;=UTF8&near;=Hawaii&split;=1≪=20.111956,-155.594215&spn;=0.040298,0.054932&t;=p&z;=14
wn.com/Driving Down Into Waipio Valley The Truth
We rented a 4WD Jeep a couple times while visiting the Big Island. It came in real handy when we decided to drive down in to Waipio Valley!
The steep grade is unnerving! How steep is it? 25%!!!! This means you are losing 1/4 of distance traveled in altitude! So if you go 100 feet of level distance, you drop (or raise) 25 feet of altitude. That's how a grade is defined.
We drove down and parked near the beach. Keep in mind that vehicles coming uphill and hikers have the right of way. So as you are driving down, stop at the wider sections of road to let them pass as it is barely wide enough for one vehicle most of the way.
Once at the bottom, we hiked across the blacksand beach to the opposing valley wall (about a mile). We then hiked up the switchback trail to a point above the treeline for an awesome view back into the valley. That view of Hiilawe Falls is not possible from the Lookout, where most tourists must halt their journey. As a matter of fact, you cannot see Hi'ilawe Falls unless you go down into the valley.
After getting some video and snapshots from this unique perspective, we returned to the Jeep and drove further into the valley. We got a closer view of Hiilawe Falls, but not much else. The river/stream covers large sections of the "road" down here and areas of washout were apparent. But your view is limited along much of the drive by the high vegetation (apparent in the video) on both sides of the trail.
On our drive back up the access road on a previous trip, we came across an older couple (in their 60's) who had decided to walk down and were now attempting the arduous hike back up. We stopped and offered a ride. The lady said yes, the man said no. She didn't think twice about leaving her hubby! :) We drove her to the top and dropped her by her car.
In order to traverse this grade, you need the extra low gears of the 4WD's transfer case, both to slow your descent without using your brakes AND to be able to climb back up without overheating the transmission. If you know how to operate these vehicles, they certainly open possibilities for exploration. However, keep in mind that if you drive your rental down here, you are violating your rental agreement. So any damage to the vehicle will come directly out of your pocket, regardless if you chose the rental insurance or not.
For a map of legal access roads in the valley and more details, look here:

The Dead Man Anchor is an extremely effective technique for securing your tent when camping in moderate to deep snow. This method is often used by mountaineers under some of the most adverse conditions that can be encountered in the outdoors. Common tent stakes (and often even snow specific stakes) are very ineffective and prone to failure in the snow and severe weather that we sometimes face in "the 4th season". By utilizing this simple technique you can be assured that your Winter tent (or tarp) camping experience will be a success, and your shelter will remain standing even through the nastiest of Winter storms.
* This technique is also very effective for use in sand as well.
