Saw a couple of TSS's doing radar gun checks at Court Square on the 7....

As a follow FHHS alum, I felt the need to share this w/ you....http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130221/forest-hills/harlem-shake-craze-gets-forest-hills-high-school-student-arrested

109 yards? 11 seconds?....How unhealthy does everyone feel right now...?

Is at GCT...Here's to another 100 years, Grand Central!

Wedding for the past two days...now I'm back...a little sober.

Looks like NYC Talk Forums will soon make a comeback!

I know I might be late....but hockey is back!!! Leggo Rangers!!!

Got my H train sweater in the mail 2 days ago, been sporting it ever since. Now, it's in the wash.

Just ordered an H train sweater!! Feelin' hype!

Got my PSAT Scores today....66 (CR), 51 , and 59 , respectively...adding up to a 176. Alright, I guess. Grades, however, are a completely different story.

Posting from my iMac. Mountain Lion is really smooth!

Reading All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. Definitely one of the best books I've ever read.

Is there any way we could post photos on the Gallery?

Brooklyn Tech is a good school, but I like said before, try agian next year. Hit up the review books and study (you might want to start now and continue over the summer), and hopefully, your score might go up.

And boy, those schools sound rough. But hey, be different from those other kids. Work hard, impress your teachers, and get good grades, and you'll do alright. As long as you do those three and you start looking independently for things to do outside of school (such as internships, community service, extra help, etc), you'll be alright heading to college.

Yeah, I have a mom just like that too, lol. Good thing I applied to Forest Hills H.S., b/c my zoned school (Flushing H.S.) is crap...you know, you can always appeal your decision, even though your chances of winning are slim, but it's worth a shot.

If your grades are good this year, and you get good scores on your ELA/Math exams this year, apply again in freshmen year. And retake the SHSAT as well. Also, what Specialized High Schools did you apply to?

I saw about your debacle of the SHSAT (at the chatbox), and I feel you: I'm a H.S. sophomore, so I know how it feels, as I been there, done that. But hey, don't worry: you still don't know what your regular application results are! And if you're not satisfied, well, you can always appeal. What schools (both Specialized and regular) did you apply to, BTW?

Happy (belated) Birthday as well. :tup:

This article might intrest you, as it states that "there is broad dissatisfaction with our two-party system, and a strong desire for an independent candidate or candidates to run next year...."

Happy Late Birthday! (sorry didn't know yesterday was your b-day, and I wasn't on yesterday, but oh well, Happy Birthday!)

No problem. However, there are some zoned schools that really don't work, but like you said, the city better fix 'em, and it's up to the student to work hard and do well, with the help of their teachers of course.

Good post on that thread regarding NYC DOE Schools. Made really good sense, and I agree with you on most aspects.

Happy Birthday Gordon, aka 4P3607!

Well, I can get a couple morals from the story-

One: Never look away or show kindness in a boxing match,

Two: Not a good idea if you are in bar with some ol' friends watching a fight, especially if it ende the way this fight ended, and

Three: Especially not a good idea if you see a certain Italian dude in a bar who has a taste for exquisite beers and wines, and have a taxi (or an express bus b/o) on speed dial if I ever meet that certain Italinan dude in a bar...LOL

And then you blacked out;)...still, the fight didn't deserve to end the way, call it payback, but I call it a disgraceful way to win

Don't worry- Just telling us that were wasted beyond belief on the chatbox is enough to tell me no alcohol (at least for now). Just saying. Still, the way the fight ended....for me, it was cheating. Good for the announcer to say to Mayweather "If I was 50 years younger, I would kick your @ss."
