    New Jersey: 3rd most popular state to leave

    Enoch, how about the opposite, those who's family didn't even arrive on these shores until well after slavery was abolished? I love NJ too, born and raised here, but I fear it will soon be too expensive for my children to create a life for themselves here. I lived in NEPA for a while, and...

    Don't walk near the nuclear plant

    Since 911 it has gotten hinky around nuke plants. I remember former Brick Mayor Joe Scarpelli being chased away when he tried to videotape a standup segment for his cable tv show with the plant in the background. the world is a very different place than it was just a few short years ago.

    Slag vs. Pig Iron???

    Looks like the same chunk of slag at Atsion, in the woods behind the ruins. I think some of the confusion is related to the terms being used. In MarkBNJ's first pic there is the nail and what I would call Bog Ore, the stuff they "mined" and put into the furnace along with flux and...

    Governor's Speech

    Trailhead, we're on the same page. I was born and raised in this Garden State, I have seen my home go from a sleepy little town at the jersey shore to a traffic jammed mess replete with the requisite McMansions. I love it here, and will always call it home. I'm more concerned with my four...

    Governor's Speech

    Trailhead, you do realize don't you, that the Governor's State of the State address is given to the Senators and Assemblypeople seated in the audience in the chambers? thus his 'if you have a better..." comments are aimed at them. we're just allowed to watch. the state has been a fiscal mess...

    South Jersey Magazine

    Stu, I've always pontificated there are 3 New Jersey's; North, South and the Jersey Shore. (yeah I leave central out of the equation.) LOL BTW I see you are now in White Haven, we used to hangar the news chopper there. Haven't been back in years.

We had just seen Dr. Who and the Daleks at the Dover Theatre and were out in the woods. We found...

    Camcorders

    I looked into it a bit deeper and while I still stand by my initial response to the JVC, it has a great feel to its build quality,( I did not get to shoot with it) but after reading some reviews, the Canon H20, while flimsy in feel, shoots better video and costs less. so reading reviews is a...

    Camcorders

    I would suggest checking www.camcorderinfo.com for some reviews. I am not sure how good HD cams are in low light. Definitely get the best camera you can afford as it will serve you for a much longer time. FWIW, I shot some stock footage Friday with the VX3 and am now transferring to DVCam...

    Camcorders

    Is HD necessary? good question. It depends upon your final usage. If you are going to be producing for other people then I would say yes. If only for yourself that SD would be fine. At work I use a Sony DSR250. At home, I stay behind the times. I still shoot with a Sony VX3 Hi-8 camcorder. I...
