I just put two daughters through there, 6 years each, all the way to their Masters...oh, and their horses all earned undergrad degrees in turning cash into poop.

I hope you are paying In State tuition, because out of state is about $11,000/semester this year, and it's been going up $1000/semester every year. I guess somebody has to pay Gus Malzahn!

The last second of that last Auburn/Bama game was worth it though!

Well, I have been on the A la Carte plan at Woodward for the last four years, so 11k a semester is no problem. I've got plenty to cover her education. It's the car, sorority, spending $, etc.

 

Space 1999 was neat. I had an "Eagle 1" as a favorite toy and the studio models were works of art (articulated suspension, pneumatic motors, etc ...) which are highly prized by nerdy collectors.

As a fellow Sci Fi fan, the first five or so episodes of Caprica had some of the most compelling plot lines of any story I've watched. Worth some time if you're bored with a Netflix account.

I don't care a lot for the "Cattlecar Galactica" series that this was the prequel for and even Caprica's storyline got weak towards the end, but they easily could have spun the first episodes into a heck of a movie.

 

She applied to Baylor and SMU but not TCU? Shame on her!

 

We also have a proc with the loss of Satcom where we attempt to re tune the satellite...not usually successful.

 

1999 was cool, I remember seeing it a few times as a kid, and was like, whoa, what is that??? Unlike anything else on TV at the time.

Clearly it was influenced by Stanley Kubrik's masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Watching that movie as an adult, I am struck by how incredibly prescient it was in terms of thinking about the future. Of course, there was some linear prediction-- moon shot, Pan Am, Bell Telephone, all of course would feature heavily in the future! Even though that didn't really happen, it still feels like it could have. They even had Ipad like devices... What blows my mind is the thought of someone going into a dark theater in 1969, seeing that movie, and walking out... into 1969 America. I still can't comprehend it. I wonder what a movie would look like today that had that sort of future view.

 

Another chance to get rid of the Export-Import bank « Hot Air

its about Boeing.

 

As the last, absolute last, bastion of aircraft development, I hope and pray that Boeing survives. Domestic industry does count. When we had Lockheed, Boeing, Micky D, etc, not quite so important. If we, as a nation, lose Boeing, we're toast. Like the product or not. It's like buying Ford or Chevy over Toyota or Honda. Gotta support it or we become Sweden.

 

Boeing needs to price it's product to the competition. They have an arrogance about them that is inexcusable. Besides, the aircraft division is only a part of their business. They have many others that are very profitable. If support of their aircraft division is at taxpayer expense and American airlines expense, and directly benefits of foreign states and corporations, I say to hell with 'em, and I am a Boeing guy (hopefully) until I walk out the door.

 

T, you think that's gonna get better when the only aircraft builder is a European consortium?
Uh, no. Boeings got issues. So let's turn it all over to the French? Uhh, hell no!
