    Hey Scott

    The Hunter's full moon is just ending, with it peaking the 11th of this week. In Native American tradition, it is a time when hunting began under the autumn moonlit night to stockpile food for the coming winter.

    Hey Scott

    That is a terrific mount. My monitor could be distorting the fox's coloring, but that appears to me to be what is referred to as a "smoky red".

    UARS Satellite Reentry

    The ROSAT X-ray observatory, launched in 1990 by NASA and managed for years by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), will return to Earth within the next two weeks. Keep an eye skyward between October 22nd and October 24th because that is when re-entry is expected. Most of the satellite is expected...

    Catching the Brown Marmorated Fartbeetle

    I went to Reed and Perrine today purchasing more lime for work and as soon as a walked throught the front door I was eye to eye with a huge display of stinkbug traps and bait. Rescue was the brand name. The trap looked just like what MarkBNJ described.

    deer contaceptive

    What is worse is that figure of one thousand dollars will double or even triple. GonaCon is roughly eighty-eight percent effective the first year and less than fifty percent effective the second year. The deer will have to be inoculated more than once during their lifetime. I say, let the...

    For The John Lennon Fans

    It is a shame when you can't even share your own public video on a public website. Youtube has become cautious of copyright infringement since they won the Viacom lawsuit. So much for fair use. Are they considering your video "distribution" ?

    NJ is #2 for solar power

    It is crazy isn't it. A 650-foot prototype tower generating 50 MW was built in Manzaneras, Spain in 1982 and worked for nine years. If I recall correctly, the Australian government recently pulled the plug on this same project due to the high cost.

    NJ is #2 for solar power

    A solar updraft tower is another way to harness the sun's energy. An Australian company is suppose to have a working version built in Arizona by 2015. http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/02/tech/innovation/solar-tower-arizona/index.html

    NJ is #2 for solar power

    I think the reason New Jersey over took California for PV growth is because of California's fiscal state. I'm curious to what the average income is for homeowners having the systems installed in New Jersey. Teegate, there is a new development on Route 130 which has a sales pitch of being "green"...

    NJ is #2 for solar power

    I'm waiting to see who is the first person to start bootlegging power from one of these solar farms. It is just a matter of time before someone runs their own power lines or steals a few panels.:)

    NJ is #2 for solar power

    It has me wondering what is really happening when energy is more important than food. The Hamilton area, closer to Crosswicks, has completed one solar plant and the second one is under construction. The two of these sites were at one time productive farmer's fields, but now they are/will be...

    Rt 72 RR Bridge

    The first picture in your link of the 3L1 appears to be concave with raised lettering while the other, 3G1, is convex with pressed or stamped lettering.

    Rt 72 RR Bridge

    I'm using the snow as an excuse for not seeing the other.:) Thanks, Teegate, I will find it next time I am there. Is there a reason for the lettering on one being raised while the other is stamped?

    Rt 72 RR Bridge

    After another phone call, it seems that the current location of the Trenton Arena was actually CF&I or Colorado Fuel and Iron which was part of Roebling. Simply, American Bridge made the girders and CF&I made the cables. Thanks again Jerseyman, for sparking my interest.

    Rt 72 RR Bridge

    Thanks Jerseyman.:) I always enjoy your indepth writings. The American Bridge Company had several buildings in Trenton. The area along the water front including Kat-Man-Du and the Trenton Stadium, plus the spot were the Trenton Arena is now located. I can remember huge spools of braided wire and...

    Rt 72 RR Bridge

    You can see how the upper part of it is constructed and an overall idea of the shape the bridge is in, in this photo.

    Rt 72 RR Bridge

    This is the survey marker on the abutment. The marks are from someone trying to remove it by beating at it with something with an edge.
