SGCNZ Young Shakespeare Company 2015
Congratulations to Tim Atkins, Jonathan Leftley, and Stan Hallett-Pullen who have been selected to attend the Young Shakespeare Company's holiday workshops where the company who will then go on to the Globe in London, is chosen. Congratulations to Ms Pope and her senior students; they have done WBHS proud.
The selection of these young men follows on from our recent success at the National Sheila Winn Shakespeare Competition, held in Wellington over Queen's Birthday Weekend.
Over the 133 years of its existence, Whangarei Boys' High School has established itself as a top-flight place of learning for day boys and boarders. It has earned its reputation from the thousands of young men it has nurtured - young men who have contributed to its great traditions.
Whangarei Boys' High School numbers among its Old Boys a very high proportion who have been successful in politics, in business, in the professions, in sport and culture - in all walks of life. We are proud of the achievements of these high fliers but our school is more than a well-directed environment for a gifted few. It is the aim of our school to give every boy a genuine opportunity to excel in his own way; to instil the courage, self confidence, discipline and leadership we all require to tackle life in a positive and constructive manner. In the classrooms, on the stage, on the playing fields, and in all our activities we aim to build a sense of self worth and fulfilment of potential based on knowledge, teamwork and respect. The intellectual development of our boys is vitally important but their personal growth and development is of equal importance.
The school has always maintained a basic thrust for excellence and for the values expressed above and the 2011 E.R.O report confirms this. We take pride in our uniform, our Prefects and Senior Leadership programme, our Gateway programmes, our Foundation Literacy and Numeracy Support classes, our mentoring programme, our Restorative Practice initiatives, as well as our academic, sporting and cultural successes. Changing circumstances often call for changing approaches and it is pleasing to note that Whangarei Boys' High School is flexible and has continued to meet the needs of our times. In its buildings, its equipment and its methods, the school is modern and is fitting its young men to confront the challenges and the growing technology of the workplace. Its innovative Academy Programme (e.g. Aviation Academy, Golf Academy) as well as our successful Trades Academies are indicative of our preparedness to look at new ideas and initiatives.
If you would like to enrol your son in Whangarei Boys' High School (either as a day boy or a boarder) this prospectus will give you some idea of the opportunities available at the school. If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to call us and ask.

1. Jett Hanna [firstname.lastname@example.com] provided me on 8 Jul 2005 with a copy of his analysis of the Brownlee manuscript as follows. It mirrors my own understanding; however, anything with which I disagree I note in [brackets]. Jett entitles his paper as "Laurens County Area Adair Family Trees." It is broken down by three families: James Adair who married Eleanor, his brother Joseph who married Sarah Laferty, and a William of whom absolutely nothing is known except just his name on the Williams Petition and that Brownlee notes he died 1780-84 and that his estate was administered 1784 per Abbe Wills, p. 10. Text quoted as follows:
âThis tree is based on Early Adairs of Laurens County, South Carolina, by Mildred Brownlee. This was provided to me by W. Lee Adair, who obtained it from the Laurens County Public Library. Handwritten notes show a date of 1990 on Brownlee's manuscript. I have not examined these deeds personally. In some cases, notes and questions below are my own additions. This analysis seems to discredit some of the trees in the Adair History and Genealogy, and adds significantly to what is know of the Laurens area Adairs. I have not fully finished analyzing this work, and may have left out parts that are not as critical to my work.
âBased on this work, it appears very possible that the elder Joseph Adair (m. Sarah, m. Susannah) and his brother James (m. Eleanor) settled in Laurens County at the same time, as suggested by the Adair History and Genealogy. I do not believe, however, that this James was the author of the book on the Indians and reputed patriarch of the Cherokee Adairs. This James was a cooper (barrel maker) according to the deeds. Modern editions of the History of the American Indians suggest that the author James Adair was a direct immigrant to South Carolina, but with no concrete evidence.
âThe Williams Petition: In the tree, LCW is Laurens County Wills; LCD is Laurens County Deeds. Also mentioned is the Williams petition. This petition is a significant document in analyzing the Laurens County Adairs. Published in the South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Vol. XV, No. 1 1987, p. 32-33, the original is #5767, Manuscript Department, Wm. Perkins Library at Duke University. The petition is in support of Colonel James Williams, a militia leader of the Patriots in the Laurens area (Little River Regiment). The petition, signed by members of the Little River Regiment, is directed to the Governor of South Carolina and the Privy Counsel, and attests to Williamsâ devotion to the Patriot cause. Williams led militia in a number of battles. I suspect that this petition was provided prior to Williamsâ elevation to the rank of Brigadier General following the Battle of Musgrove Mill, which was fought in what is now Laurens County. Williams had been accused of puffing his role in the battle. Williams went on to die at Kings Mountain -- one of the few Patriot casualties that day on October 7, 1780. Williams had run for the South Carolina legislature as a Patriot in 1778, only to lose to Robert Cunningham, the infamous Loyalist leader. For more on Williams, see Draper, âKings Mountain and Its Heroes,â? (Cincinnati, 1883). Signers of the Williams petition include the following Adairs: Isaac Adair, Jms. Adair, James Adair, Sr., Joseph Adair, Jr., Joseph Adair, Benjamin Adair, Joseph Adair, Sr., James Adair, Jr, son of James, William Adair, John Adair, and John Adair, Sr., and Alexander Adair. Comparing deed and will records to the names, Brownlee identifies the Adair signers [copies Brownleeâs explanations]. Brownleeâs identifications look very logical to me.

A. "JOSEPH ADAIR, b. 12 Apr. 1735 (from a chart), d. 17 Oct. 1812, said in Dr. Adair's History to have married Sarah Dillard but Laurens Co. legal documents prove that the Joseph Adair whose wife was Sarah, was a son of James Adair, Sr., cooper (died before 1796) and his wife, Eleanor.
The only record found to date naming a wife of Joseph Adair, son of Joseph Adair, cooper, is the deed from Book J. p. 50 which documents her as being Elizabeth Adair in 1808. Whether she was a 1st wife, 2nd. wife, etc., we have no positive record. She evidently had died before Joseph Adair wrote his will in 1812 in which he named no wife but âmy eight childrenâ?.
Deed Bk. J, p. 100 - Shows a plat of 340 a. on Millerâs Fork of Duncan Creek measured out for Joseph Adair and Elisha Adair.
Joseph Adair for $100 paid by Elisha Adair deeds to said Elisha Adair all that tract of land containing 340 a. more or 1ess, part of tract. of land including 800 a.* originally granted to Joseph Adair on 13 Sept. 1774. Said tract is to remain in possession of said Joseph Adair during his natural life and also that of his wife during her natural life so that this conveyance is not to take place or be of fore during the natural life of either the said Joseph Adair or his wife but the land hereby conveyed ie. to remain the property or the said Joseph Adair during his life as tho this conveyance had never been made or entered into. In witness whereof I, the said Joseph Adair, have hereunto set my hand and seal the 15 day of July 1802.

(Either the Register of Deeds recorded in error the 800 a. figure as a single grant or the 800 a. was intended to represent the accumulation of several smaller grants. No single grant of 800 a. to a Joseph Adair has been located.)
Deed Bk. J, p. 50 - Joseph Adair and Elisha Adair for $350 deed to Alexander Wilkinson, a tract of land containing 150 a. more or less, on the waters of Duncan Creek, on a branch called Millerâs Branch beginning at a poplar thence S 74 E 40ch 50 links to a white oak. thence due E 13.70 to a stake, thence N 79 W 24.46. etc, mentioning "meanders of said creekâ? to the beginning corner. 4 Nov. 1808.

(The 150 a. above is evidently part of the 340 a. which Joseph Adair had previously deeded to Elisha Adair but retained life estate for himself and his wife. In order to insure that there would be no future legal entanglements, both Joseph Adair and Elisha Adair entered into the sale of the land. Their wives, both of whom were named âElizabethâ?, released dower rights.)
*It should be noted here that Joseph Adair of above deed was called Sr. after the death of his father. During the period with which we are concerned, the terms âSr.â? and rily "son ofâ? but could be nephew, grandson, cousin and sometimes not related by blood. When a man known as âSr." died, the man of the same name who had previously been known as âJr." now became "Sr.â? Very confusing, to say the least. The terms âSr." and âJr.â? were also occasionally used with women's names.
Records of the eight children named in the will of Joseph Adair who died in 1812 begin on page 6. A copy of his will can be found in Will Book D-1, p. 105. Probate records are in Box 3, pkg. 6.

B. "John Adair, b. c1760, died in Morgan Co., Ga. Feb. 1813. âto John Adair, my son, the land I laid off for him that Richard Holland & John Frier now live on" and one Negro woman Jude". John Adair married on 14 June 1783 (date from family chart) Jane, said to have been Jones. She was born c1766, died in Perry Co., Ala. in 1852. The 1850 census of Perry Co. Ala. shows her age as "84". John Adair bought and sold a number of tracts of land while living in Laurens Co. When John and Jane moved their family to Ga. c1800/1801, John Adair deeded to Richard Holland title to the land willed to him by his father, Joseph. The slave Jude was still the property of Joseph and remained in Laurens Co. After John Adair died in Ga. in 1813, Elisha Adair petitioned for administration of the SC estate of John Adair, dec'd. stating that the estate consisted of one Negro woman. Petitioner also stated that John Adair left a number of legatees and a widow (names not stated). He also petitioned for sale of the Negro woman Jude and her child. Amount of sale was $456.00. (Probate Box 3, pkg. 10) Page 152 of Dr. J.B. Adair's History gives names of the children of John and Jane Adair which seem to be very nearly accurate. Marriage records of Morgan Co. Ga. agree with a number of the marriages stated on this page. On p. 153, Dr. Adair is in error regarding the ages of John and Jane Adair. In 1823, Elisha owned the slave Jude."
C. "Elisha Adair - âto son Elisha Adair, all that part of land I now live on containing 375 a.; one Negro boy Morris; one new wagon and all her harness.â? "to my grandson, Joseph, son of Elisha Adair, one set of silver coat buttons."
It is established that the given name of the wife of Elisha Adair was Elizabeth. In dower releases she is called Elizabeth and also Betsy. Laurens Co. records have not provided proof of her maiden surname. Marriages of Rowan Co. NC, 1753-1868, by Brent Holcomb contains a record of the 21 Jan. 1795 marriage of one Elisha Adair and Elizabeth Reese with Thomas Farmer Reese as bondsman. The 1800 census of Laurens Co. shows Elisha Adair with 3 sons under age 10 which would be compatible with a 1795 marriage. In 1818, Elisha Adair was co-administrator with the widow, E1izabeth Pool, on the estate of her husband, Robert Pool, dec'd.. The widow Elizabeth Davis Pool was born 1785; her mother was a Reese and would have been of the generation to have been a sister of the Elizabeth Reese who married an Elisha Adair. If this is actually the case, Elisha Adair was uncle-by-marriage of Elizabeth Davis Pool and would account for his connection with her husband's estate. So far as can be determined, Elisha Adair had no family connection with the Pools.
Elisha Adair sold his land in Laurens Co. in 1821. He was involved in 1822-24 in court actions along with his sons, Joseph Adair and Thomas R. Adair, regarding debt. (Question: What does the "R." in Thomas R. Adair's name stand for? Reese??). Elisha does not appear on 1830 census of Laurens Co. and is said to have moved to Ala. [NB: Elisha moved to Warren Co. KY where he and his wife Elizabeth are buried in Steep Hollow Grave Yard near Three Forks]. Laurens Co. census records indicate that Elisha had 5 or 6 sons and 3 daughters. Known sons are Joseph who married in Laurens Co...name unknown..and Thomas R. Adair who married Jane Blakely. Dr. J.B. Adair's History names Isaac Adair who married Jane Henry and a son. [NB: this is incorrect. Isaac Adair was a son of Benjamin Adair and Nancy George, based on power of attorney requests from him while living in Perry Co. AL, following his fatherâs death. (Laurens Co. Deed Book N, p. 8. 56 May 1833. Nancy Adair, William Adair, Isaac Adair, Benjamin Adair, William Craig, Sally Adair, now Sally Craig, James Jameson in right of his wife Jane Adair, William Scott in right of his wife Margaret Adair, all of Perry Co., AL, appoint John Adair their lawful attorney in Laurens Co., giving him POA.].
In a letter written in 1966 by the late Laura Pulley to an Adair descendant in Ala. is the statement: "in 1822, Laurens Co. SC, Elisha Adair entitled to 1/8th part of the estate of Washington Adair dec'd. Probate Records. Box 3, pkg. 11 contains the intestate records of Washington Adair dec'd. administered 7 Oct. 1822 by Joseph Adair with Thomas R. Adair and Jesse Johnson, sureties. Inventory of property included 2 slaves, 1 horse, 1 cow, 1 bed & furniture, 1 bedstead, 1 saddle & bridle, and wearing apparel, There was no mention of a wife or children and the package contains no record of payment to heirs. This brief record indicates that Washington Adair was probably a son of Elisha Adair with his estate being handled by brothers Joseph and Thos. R. Adair. Washington was evidently single. His living brothers and sisters would have inherited equal shares of his estate and his father would have also been entitled to an equal share. Seven brothers and sisters and a father...thus, 8 equal shares.
Mrs. Pulleyâs letter further states: âother children of Elisha Adair who were paid shares were Allen Adair, Richamond (Richmond?) Adair and Matilda Adair`" This quoted record in not contained in the estate package and Mrs. Pulley gave no documented reference for the statement. It must have come from one of the various Probate Journals which are probably now in SC Archives in Columbia. and hopefully can be located in the future. There is also the possibility that a will for Elisha Adair can be located in Ala. Until such event a proposed family for Elisha Adair will be found on page 8.
Elisha Adair, b. c1774, mar. Elizabeth (Reese? on 21 Jan. 1795? Some definite proof is needed for this.)
Chn: Joseph, b. 1796?-proved son of Elisha by his grandfatherâs will and by court records.
Washington, died single in 1822.
Isaac, b. 1800? (Dr. J.B. Adair History), mar. Jane Henry.
Thomas R., b. 1802, mar. Jane Blakely-proved son of Elisha by court record.
Richamond (Richmond)-
[NB: also Rozina Adair who m. Samuel Gilmore in Warren Co., KY and Elisha Milton Adair who m. Mary Rector in Warren Co., KY.]
The above list would account for 6 siblings of Washington Adair. Early census figures indicate the possibility of 2 other daughters- one of whom must have died before 1822, Name of the other not known. In Scott Co. MS, 1850:
Isaac Adair Age 52 mechanic b. SC
Jane 51 â
John P. 22 b. Ala.
Henry M. 20 â
Hosey G. 16 â
Wm. S. 8 b. MS
Thomas R. Adair and Jane Blakely remained in Laurens Co. The remaining children of Elisha Adair moved from this state with their parents.

Mold In Basements
Posted by admin in Long Island Basements on August 26th, 2014
Mold In Basements Can Cause Health Problems And Lower Quality Of Life
Mold is a tiny microscopic organism that consumes organic material. Mold reproduces by releasing spores in the air which then attach on other surfaces which is how it regenerates. Mold is a type of fungi and in nature there are over 100,000 different species. In nature mold helps to decompose or break down organic matter such as leaves, wood and plant debris. Mold is useful in nature but when stuck in our homes such as in our basements it becomes a problem. Not only does mold release a bad odor but some people are very allergic to it.
Mold can enter your home as a tiny spore. Spores are small enough to be carried within the air for example if you have a window open and the breeze blows in from outside into your house spores can attach to the walls. Spores can stick to your shoes and be carried in that way also. This is normally not a problem if you have a dry home but if there is a lot of moisture present in your home the mold will thrive. The mold will feed on organic matter within your home such as the paper within your sheet rock walls, your carpeting and insulation.
Look at it this way moles are ever present they are a part of nature. If you have a mold problem within your basement the only way to cure the problem is to stop the root of the matter. The root of the matter is you probably have a moisture condition within your basement. There are different kinds of moisture conditions within different basements. There can be a leaky pipe from the house above or ground water could be leaking through the wall through a crack into your basement. Or the soil around your basement could be saturated with water and the water is moving through your basement walls and floors.
The only way to control mold within your basement is to control the moisture condition. The leaky pipe must be fixed or the underground water must be drained away. There's a process called a French Drain which is installed under your slab which will remove underground water from around your basement. Also the grading around your homes perimeter must be sloped away from the walls and out to the yard. This will help prevent saturation of your soil next to your basement walls.
Another solution would be to add a dehumidifier In your basement. If you have a sink in your basement you should hook your dehumidifier up to your sink drain. This will ensure that you can always have a dehumidifier on if necessary and never have to worry about dumping the water out.
In closing if you have mold present in your basement most likely you have a moisture or water condition. If you plan on redoing your whole basement and ripping everything out or if your basement is bare you should have no problem finding your moisture or water condition. If your basement is already finished you will have to do some investigative work to try to find the source of the moisture or water. So go find that water problem first, then worry about getting rid of moldy old walls and ceilings

Long Island Basement Remodeling
Living on Long Island and owning a home can be a very gratifying experience. Home owners enjoy the increased values of their homes and the good quality of life Long Island has to offer. There comes a time when some home owners end up needing more space. They should consider remodeling their basement. Finished basements add value and usability to your home.
Remodeling or finishing your basement is a great way to add living space to your home. It's cost effective and takes much less time than expanding your home's foot print or dormering. It's less expensive and less intrusive to finish a basement than it is to expand.
A finished basement can be made to look just like a regularly constructed home. With the addition of an outside entrance and big egress windows natural light can enter the space allowing for an open feeling. Usually basement ceilings are built using a grid system but that doesn't have to be the case. Sheetrock ceilings can be built to further enhance the real room feel.
Click here to see photos of a basement project. The basement has no egress or sheet rock ceiling but it does have an outside entrance. This basement in Bright Waters turned out wonderful and has a cozy feel to it.

Real Basements VS. Modular Basements
Posted by admin in Long Island Basements on August 23rd, 2014
Real Basements VS. Modular Basements
Well I build real basements and I'm tired of hearing how superior these modular basements are compared to real basements. Let's compare shall we?
Arguments for Modular Basements:
Less mess no sheetrock dust. Huh? Last basement I did was spotless when I left it. Spot clean up after every day and thorough clean up on Friday's.
Resists mold and mildew. Mold and mildew exists because of moisture. Are they saying to forget about your moisture problem and just install your new basement? Find a real basement contractor to finish your basement and they will consult you not sell you. There are different solutions you can incorporate to control a moisture problem. Installing a new modular basement over it will not help you.
Easy to assemble. OK what does that have to do with you. It's good for their "installer" to assemble it but where's the benefit to you. Maybe it will save time in the construction because of the ease. Well if you get a contractor who will do your job from start to finish your basement will be done before you know it. Not all modular basement jobs happen quickly. Hang ups happen to everybody. Stick with an owner operated contractor and you will feel the quality and see the pride that goes into a real basement.
No damage to stairwell. Uh do you really think if a contractor damages your stairwell they won't repair it free of charge? I had some damage to a stairwell once and when i was done repairing it it looked better than when I found it. Please don't assume you're better because you don't damage stairwells. What does that have to do with the finished product? Nothing.
No painting required. Oh my! The dreaded P word. You never have to paint these panels. That's great but are you the kind of person that likes change once in a while? How about someone who likes a big selection of color choices? Well if you use a panel system guess what you're stuck with? The same color forever. What about color choices? You can choose from a million different colors and textures with a real basement but you're stuck with the colors they have to give you. "I'll take the beige with the tan speckles or how about the tan with the beige speckles?" Is it starting to make sense?
Easy to repair. Yes it's easy to repair just remove the damaged panel and replace with a new one. How much does a panel cost? What if the damage happens between two panels? Now you gotta buy two panels. Plus that ugly divider strip. How easy do you think it is to get these "panels"? You can't just go to the local hardware store to get them. You'll need to find the company that installed it and try to match your existing to the new. Matching the same colors exactly will probably be close to impossible.
Built in insulation. What difference does it make if it's built in or separate. As long as there's insulation it's the same technique just applied differently. Some insulation such as batt insulation will collect moisture and water like a sponge. Rigid insulation repels moisture and water. Make sure you get insulation thats of the rigid type and also does not out gas harmful fumes.
Lifetime Limited Warranty. If you hire a local contractor and you call them with an issue they should have no problem taking care of it. If you hire a big conglomerate like a modular basement installer you never know who you're going to get. Use an owner operated contractor and form a relationship with them instead of throwing money at a company that knows marketing but sends strangers to your house to install the product they sell.
Parting points against buying a modular basement:
Every four feet you get this ugly divider strip. Looks like you're living in a mobile home. Some systems don't have these strips but they still have seams. How can that be closely acceptable. A real wall looks, acts and feels like a real wall. Why should you accept an inferior finish?
Real walls are stronger than panels. Panels can easily be cut with a knife which would have to be replaced. A real wall just needs to be patched. Modular panels are basically a veneer that covers your foundation wall. Veneers are just non structural cosmetic coverings. You can't hang heavy pictures or cabinets from them.

Finding the right contractor for your finished basement should be an easy task but when you start comparing services and materials you start to see why some prices are cheaper or more expensive.
Don't get sold a lump of coal and end up paying for a diamond. Sales tactics are there to get more money out of your pockets and into their coiffures. The basic rule is if the company you hire has a big marketing budget then you will most likely be paying too much for your basement. If the company has a big staff and big overhead you might want to consider using the smaller guys because it cost them a certain amount of money to snare you in their net. So now they need to recoup that money.

4 Ways To Find Out Your Basement Has Too Much Moisture
Posted by admin in Long Island Basements on April 11th, 2014
Moisture In Your Long Island Basement
Because basement foundations are built into the ground, there is always a possibility that moisture is going to exist. Water will be capable of intruding, but unfortunately if too much water intrudes and your Long Island basement becomes too wet, then some problems can arise that you are going to want to address when your basement becomes damp. There are a number of different ways that you can determine that your basement has too much moisture in it. Here are four of the most prevalent signs that your basement is too wet:
Water Stains
The most common water stains may be found along the walls, the floor or the ceiling. There are a number of different potential causes for water stains, but any time you find stains from wetness you are going to need to figure out the cause so that you can address it right away. For example, water stains on the floor may simply be from a laundry tub overflowing, or other the other hand you may have water that is seeping in through your walls, your floor or your basement windows. This is a more serious problem that you need to take care of quickly to prevent your basement from becoming too wet.
A musty odor or a damp smell
The smell is going to be unmistakable if there is an excess amount of moisture in your basement. If you suddenly notice a change in the smell of your basement, then it is going to benefit you to pour over your entire basement looking for water staining, mold and other signs that too much moisture might exist.
The presence of mold
Mold is a serious tell tale sign that you have a moisture problem. Mold can be colored brown, black, green or yellow. If something looks like mold, then you need to have it tested. A susceptible place for the development of mold is the northwest corner in your home, which is regarded as a "cold corner" where mold is most likely to grow if a moisture problem exists.
Efflorescence or spalling
Efflorescence in a condition that involves the production of grayish or white ash on basement walls. Efflorescence may sometimes sparkle. It is caused by the left behind salt deposits once moisture has evaporated. Spalling also involves salt deposits, where the deposits left behind cause the surface of certain materials to peel, flake away or to pop off such as with brick, concrete and stone surfaces.
These are four tell tale signs that your Long Island basement is experiencing too much dampness. Some of these indicators are obviously more serious than the rest, such as mold which can spread and can be unhealthy if left unchecked in your home. It is important that you consider all of the possibilities for root or underlying causes when your basement is damp so that you can address the underlying cause and keep everything dry and in good shape.
Before finishing your Long Island Basement you need a consultation from a professional to assess your moisture issues. Don't just build a quick finished basement just because you can. Make sure the necessary building method and techniques are used to ensure a long lasting quality basement. A basement that can be built to provide you with many years of care free enjoyment.

How To Choose The Right Long Island Basement Design
Posted by admin in Long Island Basements on April 9th, 2014
If you live on Long Island and have a huge basement under your home which is full of clutter, cobwebs, cockroaches, mice and other organisms then you are plainly wasting an opportunity to make your home more fun because that essentially abandoned part of your home could be transformed into something you and your family can be proud of. Many people are seeing the need to design their Long Island basements into something useful and there is no reason why you should be left behind. Here are a couple of tips to choose the right basement design so that it will be transformed into a place you will cherish.
Long Island basements are naturally more humid and cooler compared to other parts of your home and this should be taken into account when coming up with a basement design. Even though you may want to turn that part of your home into something that can help you chill out, it will be unwise if the design will cause damage to your home and that is why you should stay away from an idea such as installing a hot tub in your basement because it will only result in excessive amounts of moisture which will result in molds and rotting of wooden areas.
It's also important to consider shortages you may be facing in your main house and incorporate that into your basement design. For instance if you receive lots of visitors and face problems accommodating them in your main house then it may be a good idea to design your basement into a guest suite with a bathroom and other essential facilities to make your visitors as comfortable as possible. However make sure you have enough room in your basement to be able to execute this to perfection and don't forget to install ample heating to ensure your guests don't suffer from the lower temperatures down there.
If you and your family enjoy going to theatres to watch movies then it will be a great idea to design your basement into a movie room, equipped with large screen plasma or LCD TV, DVD player as well as surround systems to generate the ultimate movie experience. It won't be a bad idea to have a pop corn machine installed somewhere down there and this will guarantee more family time with your spouse and kids, while saving you some movie ticket costs. On the other hand if there is lack of room for your kids to play or you realize that they are always messing up your living room then transforming your Long Island basement into a game room equipped with a large TV, couches, console games, pool tables, etc. will give your kids the chance to play and have fun.
The basement under your Long Island home can also be transformed into a workout gym, office, workshop, bar, etc. depending on your preferences and whichever design you decide to opt for, you should make sure you will get the necessary permit as well as ample lighting and escape windows for unforeseeable situations.

Long Island Basements – Painting
Posted by admin in Long Island Basements on April 8th, 2014
Your Long Island Finished Basement is a valuable asset and a very important portion of your home to take care of. In order to protect the basement of your home from moisture and rot, one cost efficient way is to apply a fresh coat of paint by an expert professional basement contractor. Failing to keep up with remedial maintenance and repair to your basement can turn out to be a costly mistake. Doing a makeover to your basement will give a higher value to it. Not only that, you will be in a happy mood after the work is done. The extra protection and renewed life a new paint job will give to your basement can last for several years. Secure at least three bids and choose the best LI basement contractor based on your pre-determined criteria.
In planning a total remodel or just a painting of your Long Island basement homeowners are faced with the challenging decision of whether to hire a professional painting contractor or making it a do-it-yourself project. Many people are happy with the results of the painting jobs done by professionals. They believe that the quality and craftsmanship provided by good painters are worth much more than the money paid. Also the time it would take for you to do it yourself does not equal in value to the time you could spend on other projects. You might be contemplating doing the job yourself because you are having a hard time finding the right contractor. Maybe you think the cost of having somebody else do the job is too high.
If you have the money and not the time to have a professional paint your basement your going to be looking for certain criteria in your search for a Long Island Basement Contractor. Some questions you might have before you begin will be:
- How will you discover a good painting contractor?
- How can you rest assured that the finished project will meet or exceed your expectations?
- What methods will you need to follow to get a fair deal?
These are some issues you might be dealing with or should be considering. If you are deciding to paint your basement plus other areas of your home you should be able to be qualified for a volume discount. Some contractors are able to apply a better rate when the job is bigger. So now is the time to consider painting the whole basement instead of one room or painting the whole house. Depending on your budget and desire to change colors will justify your decision.
Finding a good Long Island basement painting contractor is not that difficult. You need a little common sense and some minimal resources to get on the right track. Check your local papers for ads. Some of these are free and delivered right to your door or you might get them at the local market. Search the internet for Long Island Basement painting or Long Island finished basements. Whatever term you use you should be able to find a list of contractors able to do your job.
Once you narrowed your search down choose three contractors you think might be good for you. Set up the appointments and have them over for an estimate. The estimates should be free and the contractor should be able to give you a time they will be over. While they are at your home ask them what type of paint and primer they will use for your basement. If you don't have any idea of the paint you want to use let them suggest a brand they like. Usually Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams are the products the professionals use.
Request that they give you references of past jobs. Three or four references is not so bad a number to ask for. They should easily be able to supply you with that. Try to evaluate the contractor's behavior during the interview. You don't need a degree in psychology but some common sense and gut feeling will serve you right. Good contractors show their professionalism with positive enthusiasm, courtesy and sincerity in dealing with the probing questions of potential customers. They welcome direct and straightforward questions. Your end result is to have a good job at a fair price but having a contractor with a good attitude is always an added bonus.
If the three contractors you chose have impressive customer references and pass your other criteria, you can start negotiations. Ask them to look at your home and submit a detailed scope of work and cost. Services would cover brand, quantity, type of paint and primer, color schemes, caulking, number of coatings, time frame of work from start to finish, estimated project cost, insurance, clean up etc. Once they have submitted their bids, it is now time to finalize the terms and conditions and sign up a deal with your preferred Long Island painting contractor!

Virginia Tech received great news yesterday. Star cornerback Antone Exum has been cleared by Dr. James Andrews to play this Saturday against North Carolina. He was injured in the off-season while playing basketball, and has been rehabbing his knee since he injured it in January. While it is great news that he will be back, it is not clear what role he will play.
The coaches may want to ease Exum back in, but having him back on the field is going to make a major difference for the Hokies. During his career at Virginia Tech he has 6 interceptions, and 5 forced fumbles. To go along with those stats, he also has 182 career tackles. Having Exum back is big for the Hokies, but it also creates some issues.
The defense has been stellar so far this season for Virginia Tech. The corner backs have done more than expected of them, and have been making big plays all year long. Kyle Fuller, and Brandon Facyson have 5 interceptions combined and have been shutting down opposing wide-outs. It will be hard to bench anyone on the Hokies defense. The defense is stacked and getting Antone Exum back in the lineup is only going to help them to continue to dominate.

Former TNA Knockout Tara, who was known in WWE as Victoria, celebrated her 43rd birthday this week. She is now a restaurant owner in Chicago and throws quite a bit of events there for wrestling fans.
While there was some interest in bringing him back a couple of months ago, it does not appear that Lance Hoyt will be coming back to TNA anytime soon. He is currently thriving as a tag team with David Hart Smith in New Japan right now, and the money there is higher than what he would be paid if he was working Impact Wrestling again.
There's talks that TNA is interested in bringing Lance Hoyt, who has been thriving in Japan as of late, back on a short term basis.
Lance Hoyt challenged Howard Stern after the radio personality made some derogatory comments about wrestling.

|Can't figure out the cause of your E.D.? Check out these 15 Natural Cures.
|Combine supplements for max erectile strength? Go with This Approach.
Below are some brands that I have tried with good success:
1. Mexoryl Anthelios. Mexoryl products, while not cheap, are widely used in Europe. To date at least, it is a chemical sunscreen with none of the major issues of the other chemical sunscreen active ingredients. Anthelios Xl SPF 50
2. Aubrey Natural Sun. This brand avoids the chemical ingredients altogether and relies on good ol' zinc oxide instead. Of course, the problem with zinc oxide, especially for light skinned folk, is that zinc oxide can create a ghostly effect and actually highlight wrinkles. However, Aubrey's SPF 15 Active Lifestyles uses a variety of oils and extracts in the product that almost completely mask these effects. NOTE: Other Aubrey sunscreens with zinc oxide do not have this same property. Again, my advice is to stick to Active Lifestyles if you're a low pigment sort of guy.
3. Alba Botanica. Another very similar product is Alba Botanica Mineral Sunscreen. This sunscreen relies on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both sunblockers and not synthetic chemicals sunscreens, for UVA protection. I mention this product, because it is easily the least expensive alternative that I have found. However, if you are fair-skinned, it will likely give you somewhat of an early 90's Goth look.
CAUTION: If you have a medical condition or are on any medications, please discuss any changes with your doctor first. Certain supplements, foods and even juices can alter absorption rates of certain medications for example. Play it safe.

|Hi! I'm a girl in tenth grade in Michigan. I love to read. I have two dogs and I row.
I really like: Harry Potter, The Lord Of the Rings, Hunger games, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Pirates of the Carribean, welcome to nightvale, Supernatural, the Hobbit, and super heroes. I also might post some Star Wars stuff.
I got sorted into Slytherin on pottermore.
I don't like Justin Beiber, twilight, or One Direction.
None of the things I post are mine unless I say so.
Nice to know I'm the same height as Scarlett ^_^
My new life goal is to be as tall as Harry Potter

a true story of Japanese American experience during and after the World War II internment
Japanese Americans
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
One of the best books about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Houston's descriptions of her mother during that time were, I thought, especially poignant.
it was EXTREMELY boring. i didnt enjoy whats-so-ever, neither did i understand much.
One of the better Japanese American memoirs about the World War II incarceration and its effect on Japanese American families.
An interesting nonfiction book about the relocation of a japanese american family during world war II. I felt like the story was kind of short and would have liked the author to go in more depth about her experiences. Overall an ok book.

|Okay...so...Restarting seems to be the main issue everyone has...yes? Mine does it much less often now and only if I'm pushing the RAM too hard. Usual fix IF it happens with any PARTICULAR APP (not from merely heavy use) is to go under manage apps. find the app, clear data, force stop, uninstall (or uninstall updates), restart the phone and reinstall (update). It seems like any issues on mine happened within short time from an install or applying an update to certain apps. This generally fixes it. I don't know what's causing it however. Maybe the phone? Maybe Jellybean? Maybe Google play? I don't know. But I will say, that I'm not THAT much of a techie but I haven't found anything yet that I can't fix on my own phone. So, I'm still happy with it. I am sorry for any folks who have had issues that I can't help them fix though. There's only so much I can do without have their particular phone in my hands to look into things more easily. If you can't Google a fix for your issue, you can always call the dreaded Straight Talk customer service. If they can't fix it and they start losing patience, they probably hope you will hang up because I don't think they're supposed to. Just keep politely pushing through. You'll either get transferred a couple more times, or they'll fix it. If they still won't, remind them that you're within your 1 year warranty and that if they can't fix it that you want a replacement (that usually makes them scurry for a magical fix and you get transferred to someone that actually knows what the hell they're doing). Again, apologies that I'm not able to do all tech support on this phone. Keep in mind...the reason this video even EXISTS is that there wasn't a single video about this phone when I bought the phone. For that reason alone, I did my own research and bought the phone, and then made the video.

|Sounds like you've just found ways to overload it...shouldn't be an issue. Lol. Download Clean Master. It will show when you're running too much RAM. It helps remind you which apps can be moved to SD. It's one of the best maintenance apps I've ever found. And if you start running a little slow, run it...restart the phone...when it's fully loaded, run the boost on it again. Also, do you notice it in using certain apps? Or a certain keyboard?

|This phone is a piece of shit. I have know 4 people who have had this phone making me number 5. The first person I knew to get it has trouble with it being extremely slow and not being able to get any coverage anywhere. She took it back. I decided to get the phone even though she had troubles out of it. I thought it was just a bad batch of phones. She tried to warn me. My nephew has this phone, the touch screen stopped working after about 2 months, he was able to convince the place he got it from to exchange it for another one. He is now having trouble with the touch screen again not working at times, it restarting all the time during apps, and it being extremely slow. My father in law has the zte majesty and it does all of the same things above. I have the zte majesty and my phone goes crazy at times calling the wrong people. It restarts with me watching YouTube, it constantly buffers even though it has a perfect Wi-Fi signal, it restarts during apps, it's extremely slow, the touch screen seems very bugged at times, it shuts off even though my phone still has about 10% battery life left, it did however only completely lock up one time, but the constant restarting makes up for that. I suggest you don't buy this phone. It is the worst phone ever. Ugh..

Valiant for Truth - Pastoral Ministry
The Internet has brought many great advances and benefits, even blessings. I marvel at the fact that as little as ten years ago, or less, when I used to travel I could only talk to my wife over the phone.
One of the questions I've received over the years is, "What type of church member do you look for as a pastor." My answer may seem odd, but I've always responded, "The normal kind."
During my pastorate I encountered my fair share of people who did not appreciate my ministry or the church for one reason or another. That's fine and to be expected.
One of my all-time favorite things to do is go to my denomination's general assembly. Before you stop reading out of incredulity, I'm not talking about the long business sessions, endless myriad of financial statistics, and administrative reports.
Office Hours talks with Rev. Eric Hausler, graduate of Westminster Seminary California and Pastor of Naples Orthodox Presbyterian Church, about Ministry and Mission.

Why is Ellen cranky? I wish I had an answer for you. I think it is a combo teeth/doesn't know how to sleep doesn't get it from me issue. And, you know, people always say teething sucks, and it does, but what they don't tell you is that babies are always teething. It isn't a transient state - it is a permanent state that they are always in...obviously.

The Bad
1) Geno's one big mistake – Smith had a perfect 1st drive for a touchdown and then had the team at the Patriot's 20 on drive number two but on 2nd and 10 he inexplicably threw to David Nelson who was locked down man to man by Logan Ryan who intercepted the pass and returned it for a touchdown. The Jets aren't good enough on most days to overcome a 14 point swing like that. Give Smith credit he does not pout after his errors. He seems unfazed and continues to attack. He definitely improved from the 1st to the 2nd matchup with the Patriots and that is the sign of a good quarterback.
2) The defense cannot finish again – Week 1 they allowed a Tampa field goal with less than a minute remaining before winning, Week 3 they allowed a penalty filled drive that allowed Buffalo to tie a game the Jets dominated before the Jets won it later, Week 5 they allowed Atlanta to come from behind with two 4th quarter touchdowns giving up a 13 point lead before driving for the winning field goal and today they could not stop the Patriots who they were dominating with two minutes left, up three points with the Patriots at their own 16 yard line. As soon as the team stops attacking it becomes vulnerable and once it becomes vulnerable it is hard to get back on track. They have been lucky to be able to have covered up these mistakes so far but they need to reverse this trend immediately.
3) Penalties again – The Jets had nine penalties for 45 yards. Seven of those penalties were pre-snap penalties: five offsides (one declined), two false starts and one too many men on the field. The other two were an unavoidable defensive holding by Allen on Gronkowski preventing a catch and likely saving a touchdown and the other was a borderline offensive pass interference call against Stephen Hill that was a penalty just not one called that often. I understand the Jets are an EXTREMELY aggressive team but there is no excuse for five offsides penalties. Watch the ball and wait for it to move, that's it.
The Ugly
There is no ugly when the Jets beat the Patriots!

Rosy maple moths (Dryocampa rubicunda) are native to North America and are covered in a coat of dense fuzz that helps them pollinate flowers more efficiently. Their gorgeous pink and yellow colouration is still a mystery, but some researchers believe it warns off predators, letting them know that what they think is a delicious meal may actually be quite unpalatable.

Here For Life (Crimson Clover) Lyrics - Paul Colman Trio (PC3)
Everyday I see the sun begin to shine
Every way I give what's yours and yours is mine
When I say that it's too fast I'm left behind
Walk a little bit nearer
Gonna play another song and take my time
Every way I give the best that I can find
Can I make a love that stays, reflects divine?
Hold a little bit closer grow a little bit older
And I know that I'm here for life
It ain't over
And I'm here for life
Can I say the words and know that you will hear?
Would it pay to say the words that show my fear?
When I know you've seen my worst but hold me dear
And your touches are healing
Overcome what I'm feeling
sponsored linksNow I know that I'm here for life
It ain't over
And I'm here for life
Crimson clover
I am here for life
Walk a little bit nearer held a little bit dearer
When I think of your crimson clover
Bleeding growing dying I know I can live
