What a Ute Alumni has to say to the BCS

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II.

United States Ranked 4th.

December 4, 2008

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants, the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany the winner of World War II.

"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated, "the US only had two major victories--Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests. They consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said, "yes, we lost to the US, but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings. Hitler protested, "our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The Frenc h ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented, "France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

The Utes ARE #1! Nuff Said…

The Heart

The heart is an amazing thing. Actually, our bodies are amazing things. When I think about how beautiful and complex the human body is, I am overwhelmed. I am reminded of the Bodyworld's exhibition I saw a few months back. It's a wonder why we don't have more problems. It seems there are so many things that could and should go wrong. Especially with the way we treat our bodies, as if we are invincible. We take our bodies for granted. We forget how lucky we are to have a heart that functions the way it should, and then WHAM!, it doesn't work the way it is supposed to anymore. All of these thoughts come rushing in, I should have quit smoking years ago........I should be eating better.........exercising! Why do we do this to ourselves? Why does our body forsake us? I guess only God can answer those questions.
Today I say "Thank you body! Thank you for hanging in there with all of my cruelty and oftentimes indifference. Thank you for not giving up on me yet! I promise to try and do better!"
One great piece of advice- don't take your body for granted!

What Makes a Walk in Tub Great?

Walk in tubs are great in general because they are so useful and helpful to so many people. They were originally invented to help people with a disability/handicap and/or for someone who is elderly and has mobility problems. They are designed specifically to aid those who have a difficult time getting in and out of the bathtub independently. Many people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on band-aid type products to add to their traditional bathtub like a bath bar and bath chair to make it easier to bathe themselves or their loved ones. However they come to realize that traditional bathtubs just weren't designed for aiding those with physical impairments and while adding a grab bar or something similar may take the edge off, it doesn't come close to the goal of having a safe, comfortable, convenient and independent bath. This is why the walk in bathtub is so ingenious. Don't think of walk in tubs as only for the elderly or handicapped though. For me, it's been the "luxury" features that make some walk in baths stand out above their competition. This makes them enjoyed by even more people young and old. My mother isn't handicapped or elderly (Well she is heading into "senior-hood"), however she deals with physical ailments that would make a walk in tub great for her. She suffers from scoliosis, fibromyalgia and varicose veins. Even for her getting in and out of the bath can be more work than it's worth. Not only would it help make her bathing experience easier she would also enjoy the gentle massage and other "extras" you get with bathing in a walk in tub. On top of that she would feel better overall as her ailments improved due to the hydrotherapy benefits her body would receive. I know many parents (including myself) who would enjoy a long soak in a walk in bathtub as well after a long hard day.
So what makes the Safety Tub walk in tub stand out above the rest? A lot! Check out their products and later I will compare them to the competition and let you decide.

Saying Goodbye.

Why is saying goodbye so hard? I guess it's not always hard; like when you say goodbye to unwanted pounds or a pimple that popped up on your face unexpectedly a week earlier.
Saying goodbye to loved ones though, that is almost always difficult. Even when it's not due to death or some other horrible circumstance. Sometimes even when the person leaving is moving onto bigger and better things, or is going off on some wonderful adventure, it can still be hard to say goodbye. Even when you know they are going to be happy and possibly even a bit happier than where they were, saying goodbye can still be rough. Even when you know they are going to be back soon, it doesn't necessarily seem soon enough. Saying goodbye can definitely be bitter sweet. Maybe instead of saying goodbye, we should say what is really in our hearts like- "Have a good time.", "Come back soon.", "God bless.", "I'll miss you.", "Be safe.", and of course "I love you!". That sounds much better than goodbye and it feels better too. So to my beloved and beautiful sister- Have a good time, I know you'll be back soon but I will still miss you immensely. Please be safe and may God bless you in your travels. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH! XOXOXO
