Water in New Jersey Residential, commercial and industrial development is the largest contributors to landscape change in the state of New Jersey. When buildout occurs in one region, development pressure begins in another, virtually insuring the Megalopolis concept of one huge urban corridor stretching between Boston and Washington D.C. Year after year, farmland dwindles, roads become congested, and more residents are left to compete for diminishing natural resources. Desperate measures and
Renewal by Andersen of Central New Jersey replacement windows fit every architectural design. A driving tour through suburban New Jersey neighborhoods reveals everything from English Revival and elegant French Provincial styles to Colonial and Tuscany-inspired homes with a Mediterranean appeal. With such a diverse range of architectural foundations it is impossible to recommend just one window for every suburban home. We will cover more in-depth details about architectural elements in another post
The state of New Jersey has a very complex history dating back to at least 10,000 years ago. The land was first occupied by what is known today as the Delaware Indians. However, around the early 1520’s, European influence entered into the state of New Jersey. Trading became the new up-coming businesses that would occupy a majority of the towns. As time went on, the British gained control of the land and this piece of property was named New Jersey after the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. Due
Description of a Trip to the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey When deciding on a place for my science trip, I knew the perfect place would be the Liberty Science Center, located in Jersey City, New Jersey. I went there often as a child, so I already knew that there was a great deal to learn there. What I didn?t realize was how much it had been updated since I was there last. There are so many advances going on in science and technology, it?s all so amazing. What surprised
government officials is while in school, and this is when these Constitutional Fourth Amendment protections are needed. The largest and first assault on the rights of students to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures occurred in the case of New Jersey v. T.L.O. In 1980 at Piscataway High School in Middlesex County, N.J. a few girls were caught smoking in the bathroom. After being brought to the principal's office one of the girls, T.L.O., denied that she had been smoking. The principal then searched
One of the best vacation spots and most fun are down the shore in Wildwood, New Jersey. Wildwood consists of a boardwalk with tons of rides and fun, a beach with a beautiful ocean, and little summerhouses with ocean-side views. The best attractions though would probably be located on the boardwalk. There are so many things to see and do. Although it’s rather costly, it’s well worth it and it’s a great place for a family to share quality time together. The boardwalk is consisted of shops, arcades
Plants make up most of the Pine Barrens. For instance, pine trees such as the short needles, pitch pines, jack pines, long needles, yellow pines, and many others make up most of the pine forest in the Pinelands. Other trees include the pine oaks and the cedar trees. Due to the roots of these cedar trees, water in the Pine Barrens appears a brownish red color. This happens because the roots emit pigments of red color into the soil which then runs into the water. Even though the amount of red pigment
The New Jersey Devil The urban legend I chose to write about for this assignment is the story of the Jersey Devil. The Jersey Devil is a creature that was, according to legend, born from a woman in southern New Jersey and it is supposed to have haunted the people of the surrounding area for at least 260 years. The Jersey Devil is known as a creature that mutilates livestock as well as other animals and is said to appear shortly before disasters occur. I was able to listen to two versions
The New Jersey Devil The Legend of the Jersey Devil is the most prominent legend that is told to citizens of New Jersey; it is mainly told to elementary school aged children. There are a variety of settings that the story has; however, the most common location that is used when retelling the tale is Leeds Point, NJ, which is in the Pine Barrens region of the state. This tale of the Jersey Devil recounts the existence of a supernatural creature that is said to have terrorized the New Jersey Pine

The Jersey Shore is not the breeding ground for muscular, fake-tanned, loud-mouth party-goers popularized in American culture by the 2009 MTV reality television show. That image serves as the broad standing consensus of Americans understanding of the state’s one-hundred and thirty mile coastline. A few steps away from the glimmer of the neon lights in the beach towns of Seaside Heights, Belmar, and Asbury Park lies the heartland of America. A splendid melting pot of schools, playgrounds, parks
Atco Ghost of the Southern New Jersey Piney Barrens The sparsely populated towns and countryside of the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey have often been the ideal setting of various ghost stories, including the infamous tale of the Jersey Devil, that are told in the more heavily populated Northern New Jersey and Philadelphia metropolitan regions. One of those “Piney” towns is home to a lesser-known, but equally interesting, tale of a street that is haunted by the ghost of a young boy. The
NJ governor Chris Christie is by no means a favorite politician in the eyes of New Jersey education administrators, and teachers. After many years of budget cuts and restructuring, he is facing new criticism with his new proposal to increase the school day and year. New Jersey news papers and radio stations are filled with interviews and chatter on whether NJ students will benefit from longer days, or if it is just a political maneuver and waste of money we do not have. However much the cost, extending
New Jersey has two climatic conditions due to its location being halfway between the equator and the North Pole on the eastern coast of the United States. The south, central, and northeastern parts of the state undergo a humid mesothermal climate. The northwest experiences a humid continental climate with cooler temperatures due to its higher elevation. Summers in New Jersey are hot and humid. A statewide average of high temperatures is 82-87 °F and low temperatures of 60-69 °F. Winters are cold
The New Jersey Plan was proposed during the Constitutional Convention in 1787, where the delegates from each state were creating their new government. One of the plans that were proposed at the Conventional Convention was the Virginia Plan. This plan was written by James Madison who grew up on a wealthy plantation in Virginia. The plan said that the government should be split into three branches to keep equal power throughout the government. Though it did say seem flawless, there was one factor that
The Palisades basalt sill is one of the most active mass movement areas in New Jersey (Pallis, 2009) and because of its activity it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms that cause the rockfalls along the outcrop. The Palisades are composed ancient Jurassic flood basalt that formed through at least three distinct intrusion events (Puffer, 2009). It is important to understand that in all of these events the molten magma was allowed to completely cool before the next event allowing for
the Virginia and the New Jersey Plan. Despite much of Virginia’s plan being accepted, if a compromise had not been reached the New Jerseys plan would have been more workable because it offered: equal representation of the states, provided operational means to congress, and was not a radical departure from the Articles of the Confederation. To begin with the unequal representation of the states in the Virginia Plan was of great concern and controversy while the New Jersey Plan retained equal representation

On Sunday, October 28, 2012 President Obama declared a state of emergency in several states across the east cost, including New Jersey. This allowed
William Paterson was able to take up the same business as his father. Because his family was wealthy Paterson was able to go to private schools in Princeton to get an education. When William reached the age of 14 years old, he went to the College of New Jersey, now called Princeton University. In 1763, William Paterson received his bachelors degree and in 1766 he received his masters. Under Richard Stockton, after graduating from Princeton, William Paterson stayed at Princeton University to study law
