ReplyI'd be more concerned with the analytical accuracy at 0.5%. As the limit is lowered the analytical accuracy plays an increasingly important part as to whether the test shows 0.5 or 0.45 or 0.445.

ReplyWhat's interesting about her and the "$64,000 Question" was her topic of boxing was not what she wanted. She had applied as an expert in psychology and/or home economics. The produces said they wanted something with pizzazz and they suggested boxing which she knew a little bit about to get her through the easy questions. But remember they gave each contestant books to study from which the answers to the next questions would be found. She was highly intelligent with an almost photographic memory and was able to quickly learn all facts from those books.

ReplyYou can delay the spin-off, but you can't stop it! The best thing to do is change the accounting procedure so that each town pays based on the cost per student and not on assessed property values. In any event, Both Hillsdale and Rivervale residents will see a substantial increase in property tax. Both Hillsdale and Rivervale always touted their towns as having an excellent school system, which is true----now they'll just have to pay for it!

ReplyWhile my posts may present myself as ignorant, biased, and generally not compassionate, my main purpose is to make outrageous statements so as to elicit comments and dialog and in that it appears I have been quite successful! Yes, I am a serial troll!

You almost had me there until you mentioned the Pascack Bible Church----a bastion of hyperbole.

ReplyThe home owner, no doubt, is going to make a few bucks on the borders and they also do chores around the house----sounds like a win-win situation, but for whom?

ReplyThere's an old saying that you shouldn't look for trouble. These individuals that come out of rehab, that can't go home or have no home and need a half-way house, have serious mental problems as well as an addiction problem. There are other venues for these poor souls, but not in a residential area near a public school.

Wasn't this the project opposed by former Mayor Sapanara when he was in office. I remember thinking why would anybody oppose single family homes designed for seniors, with little impact on town services, while providing additional ratables. It became apparent when I learned that Mayor Sapanara lived in this area of town and was concerned about a negative impact upon his property value. But then it went from concern to disingenuous when we learned that the mayor had applied for a position in DC and would shortly be selling his Hillsdale home----let's hope Hillsdale never again has a mayor who put his personal ambitions before the good of the town!
