As long as an instrument functions correctly it really does not lose value so why just throw it out?

So if I came to you with a matching serial number and model for the instrument it'd still be yours? I'd turn it over to the police. Guitars + cases can range anywhere from $200 to $4000.

I'm just against the use of recorded music for processions and parades. Every other cultural event usually uses live musicians and just because this is by Muslims does not exempt them from hiring people instead of using canned recordings.

I withdraw the first part of my comment. The news had extended footage that shows its right by the tunnel. The police do never patrol that area.

that is nowhere near any of the "14" exits.
Everything about this looks suspicious. If you see this keep the foot on the pedal and keep it at speedometer at 70.

I'm not surprised. I walked in there once and an artist showed me their book and I walked right out. I hope his drawing has improved since then.

Agreed. Ebola has an over 60% fatality rate? While the Hospital was in the wrong for sending home the first, there is no conclusive evidence that they would've been able to do anything.

First I will say I love the pizza, but you are a large business. You have multiple locations in the NY metro area including CITI Field. You all have similar items on all your menus.

I go out to a restaurant not just for the food, but for the service and experience. I also go for food that I cannot make at home.
I go to the bar to drink and be social with others. If I pick up food at the farmers market that is prepared it is because I want to eat that at that moment or go straight home with it because I have 0 desire to cook that night. Service at restaurants in Jersey city is abysmal. I eat at very few restaurants in town because of this. If you want people to come have an inspired menu, that is executed well, and normal service. Two Boots I have no idea why their business drops they have pretty good pizza.

Its football season, but i'll change the sports analogy to baseball. You always have to question the meaning behind the stats. What do the numbers mean and how do you come up with them and then how should value them. If a player in baseball has a ton of RBIs is he really a good player or just getting lucky because men get on before him? You just want to assume there are just tons of bad teachers. a few reasons why a student may drop out. 1. They turned 18 and are forced out of the house. 2. Teen Pregnancy. Not completely an education issue. 3. They want to pursue other interests and a high school diploma may not be completely necessary. 4. Influence of outside gangs. Education is funny because everyone comments on it, but have no experience with it.

Let me ask this question. Why are they dropping out? Are they flunking out at 21? Are they leaving to pursue other options?(Some of which do not always require a HS diploma or they would rather just get a GED) Also on the other hand how do we not know other poorer districts are just pushing students through? Other more affluent districts have been known to make their "advanced" students have better grades then they have earned so they can apply for top universities to bring accolades to that district. Many of these numbers that are provided have no real context.

Did you also notice the poverty rate is also at 30%? Many of these children only eat at school. Have access to the internet at school. Access to other educational needs at school.
What I am trying to get at is that our education system is not perfect, but you cannot fault just teachers for the poor graduation rate. I would love to see you perform well at your job while eating what a person at the poverty level does for 8 months straight. These are children that are already behind the eight ball.

an increase in pay won't always draw good teachers either. A district that can guarantee funding for supplies, up to date text books, and keeping classes small will keep teachers invigorated.

Good teachers will reach any child. Good teachers are recruited by better districts where they know they will be supported. In reality high school teachers need to be paid the least. K-4 is where the most shaping of a child is done. Those early childhood skills will shape them for years.
