Mediocre Private colleges not worth the money.

@Gargantua:

My best advice Hoff, is to set all the money you’ll need aside before hand.  And then set a schedule that sees you complete.  Do not stop until you PASS!

Thanks Garg. I was looking for your input here since I remember you telling me that you had a PPL. Money is the real issue… It is darn expensive. It would take some time to save $6-7k before hand, plus I have have somewhat of a time crunch for ANG purposes, so I am sort of spending as I go. Not ideal, I know, but what I really need is to get into a set schedule.

+/- 300m sounds like some nasty winds. It is … interesting… enough to have a mild crosswind causing a 10 degree approach angle. You just have to go with it until you get 10 ft off the ground where you can finally correct for it. Landed the plane on my second flight though, which was cool. Instructor says I have potential.

The Force is strong with me. (Which is encouraging)  8-)

Hahaha… this is awesome. “Aloha assholes.”

@ABWorsham:

What do you think about (UT) Texas signing a mult-million dollar deal with ESPN for it’s own television network? I beleive it was 300 million.

I thinks it a matter of time before most teams realize just how much money is out there for grabs. This will change college football.

This is the first I’ve heard of it but it would certainly further explain the departure of Nebraska to the Big Ten and Colorado to the Pac 10. The precedent had been set previously with Notre Dame and NBC. This though would be very different from the perspective of Texas is not an independent and plays in a conference. I’ll have to look into this more sometime this week.

Got any links to good articles?

I just hit the link and this site has “lost” $2000 of it’s value. LT I’d say your trivial comment is more than apt. I have to go outside now to see if the sky is falling.

Jermo,

Thanks for bringing up the reputation of the Catholic church, this is another good point regarding this topic.  Consider the following:

Shanley said he particularly objected to one tale that uses religious language to describe a sexual encounter between a woman and a teenage girl. While the teen narrator describes the episode as “a kind of heaven,” Shanley said it’s “abusive, exploitative and morally wrong.”

How is this not glorifying pedophelia?  I think Shanleys description is fitting if the tale is true…and I have no reason to doubt it since the supporters of the VM showing do not deny this.  Aside from the fact that pedophelia is clearly inappropriate regardless of the situation, with the recent problems the Catholic church has had with this lately I gotta ask:  Why on earth would anyone even remotely associated with the Catholic church allow something with this kind of statement?  To allow a production with something like this would add to the criticisms that the catholic church does not take pedophelia seriously.  And if the Catholic church is serious about dealing with their problem in this area, would not the banning of the VM be at least a start?

I’m not buying the arguement that banning the VM is indicative of not addressing the problem – I think not banning it would show they aren’t addressing their problems.

@Janus1:

is he a political expert? or just a right-wing commentator who just thinks he is an expert?

He’s just a radio political commentator who got hired by ESPN to be controversial and boost ratings. Unfortunately, he was too controversial and got fired.
