UTAH VS BYU AKA "THE HOLLY WAR"

I think Utah is going to beat BYU by more points than a lot of people expect (UT is only favored by 7). Something like 35-21 for the U!

The BYU offense is averaging 447 yards per game. However, the U defense is giving up 284 yards per game (advantage = The U)

BYU ranks #17 nationally in total offense. Utah is ranked #11 in total defense. The U is also only giving up an average of 17 points a game this season. The team down South has given up an average of 28 points per game in road games this season.

Check this out...the Utes offense is averaging 403 yards per game. BYU's defense is giving up 345 yards per game (advantage = The U)

Oregon State thought they could come into SLC and get a road win. That didn't happen. TCU came into SLC and they, too, thought they'd come into SLC and get a road win. That also didn't happen. Now the team down South wants to try and spoil the U going to a BCS game. The Team Down South is going home disappointed.

Back to the Lost Wages Bowl for ya Cougars.

Do YOU know?

There are so many people that just don’t understand things. Some may not understand an interest rate or who regulates the interest rates, or trigonometry, or how to read a map, or how to operate a crane, or how a body of water can supply electricity to several metropolitan cities throughout the United States.

What I don’t understand, is why people judge you and why they hold a grudge against you for no apparent reason. Why after a year, several years or even a decade later they still carry the same thoughts and will never open their minds or their eyes to notice the many many positive changes or the growth one goes through throughout their lives. I also don't understand how these types of issue can make one feel so sick inside to the point to where they become nauses and have upper stomach pain.

I am a smart person and catch onto things pretty quickly, however, I don’t think I will ever understand how people can be so blind towards certain things or people.

Any Given Sunday

For anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I am the biggest Female NFL fan they have ever met. I am a True Blue Dallas Cowboys fan!! Six months out of a year, I live and breath football.

Football fans either love or hate the Cowboys, there is no in between. When the city of Dallas, received a NFL expansion franchise in 1960, the team was announced as the “Steers” a few weeks later the team was renamed to the “Rangers”, however, Dallas already had a Baseball team named “Rangers”. That Baseball Team was not expected to continue as a Major League team, however, when the MLB and the City of Dallas decided to keep the “Rangers” the football owners had to come up with another name for their NFL Football Franchise and then came the “Cowboys”. Now, you have the Dallas Cowboys. Their first season recorded was 0-11-1. For some reason that does not surprise me!! During that inaugural season the only time the team could celebrate came on the week that they tied. HUM…..who did they tie with……..THE NY GIANTS!! The tie came within the 2nd to last game for their season.

As, I watch the Cowboys today and see the way there playing leads me to believe that they missed their plane in Dallas and never made it to New York………YES 48 years later the Cowboys still play the New York Giants, who are now in our division and are one of the known rivals in the NFL. At the time of this blog, the score is 28-7 for New York. I can almost guarantee you the NY score will go up from there. The cowboys have some serious problems this year and chances are WILL NOT make it to the playoffs.

Throughout the last 48 years, The Dallas Cowboys have a lot to be proud of. Their first Super Bowl appearance was in Super Bowl 5, the Cowboys lost that game. However, their first win in a Super Bowl came the following year in Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys have 5 Super Bowl wins. Their last win was Super Bowl XXX, January 28, 1996. The Cowboys have 8 appearances in the Super Bowl, which at this time is the NFL Record. The Cowboys became the first team in NFL history to win 3 Super Bowls in just 4 years (that has been matched only once since, by the New England Patriots. Anyway, the Cowboys are America’s team and the best team in the NFL. They not be numerically the best team in the NFL during the 2008 season, but the cowboys are the most winning team in the NFL and the most expensive team in the NFL.

So for any of my friends that are NOT a Cowboys fan, try to out do any of the Cowboys records………..sorry you just can’t do it!!

Stay tuned there will be more about the BOYS that’s for sure!!

Go Cowboys!!

Trick-or-Treating, Parties, Tons of Candy and Tons of Frosty Cold Beverages!!

Everyone likes Halloween for one reason or another. Kids, like Halloween because they get to dress up and go out Trick-or Treating and have lots of candy that is all theirs. Adults like Halloween because they too like to dress up and go to house parties, go to local Bars/Night Clubs, spend time with their families and pass out Halloween candy while their children go out Trick-or-Treating. Of course all kids and Adults love to decorate their homes and their yards for Halloween and some go all out for this Holiday.

By the time Halloween is over everyone will experience to much fun either by having ate so much candy that they have crashed from their sugar high or drinking to much and having to deal with a hang over the following morning.

I’m surprised that I had enough candy for the Trick-or-Treaters, because I was ate too much of their candy, then I found myself up late because of the sugar rush and had a hard time waking up in the morning in order to make it to work on time.

What part of Halloween do you like?

Ghost Hunters--Do you Beleive?

Today is Halloween, October 31, 2008. I was off work today, while at home, I tuned on my TV. The TV channel was on the SCIFI channel, which on Dish Network is channel 122. My son loves this channel so it was no surprise that the TV turned right onto this channel. The show that was airing was called Ghost Hunters. Ghost Hunters is a TV show, where a group of investigators go around the United States and investigates locations that the owners, employees or customers claim are hunted. These locations are any location from family homes, businesses, historical sites to Military Bases.

This group of investigators refer to themselves as TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society). This group is contacted by anyone who wants to find concrete evidence to back up their claim or get some answers to what is going on with the strange activities that they have encountered.

Upon TAPS arrival to the site that they will investigate, they meet with the person that contacted them, so they can go through the dwelling to learn what noises are being heard, what smells are being smelt and to get a description of what the ghostly figures look like. TAPS, will then set up their equipment, which they have a lot of, once the equipment is set up TAPS turns off all lights and they begin their investigation. Some of the equipment and their descriptions that the TAPS team use is listed below.

Digital Audio-A small digital sound recorder.
Digital Infrared Camera-Captures images invisible to people.
EMF-(Electromagnetic Field) -A force given off by electric charges; found in anything that uses electricity. Theory is that spirits are made from magnetic forces.
EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena)-Disembodied voices and sounds picked up by recording devices. HI-8-Portable video-tape camcorders.
K-2 Meter-A device that measures magnetic fields. Some believe it can be used to train a spirit to intensify its magnetic field as a form of communication.
Mini-DV-A small digital video recorder that records.
Digital Thermometer-Reads Ambient Temperature, 15-60 degrees cooler than the regular room temp indicates that a spirit may be present.
Thermal Imaging Digital Camera-Records images of long wavelength infrared radiation, sometimes referred to as heat, which is invisible to people. This allows the capture of images in even total darkness, or through smoke or fog.

As I’m watching the Ghost Hunters Marathon today, one episodes really stuck out and crept me out. The episode took the TAPS crew to Beverly Hills, CA. They were going to the neighborhood where actress Sharon Tate and hair stylist Jay Sebring were murdered. YES, I am talking about the Charles Manson murders. The house where the murders took place is no longer standing but there is a house down the street that the owner claims is haunted by Sharon and Jay. This is the place the TAPS crew set up their cameras and their equipment. During this episode the team did hear tons of noises through out the house. They Didn’t actually see any ghosts while there. However, they started using the EMF and found that in one of the guest room of this house the EMF was extremely high so they then brought in the digital thermometer reader and area’s of the room were cooler than the rest of the room. So ,the team asked the spirit in the room to lower the temperature from 70 degrees to 62 degrees as you watch the temp goes from 70 to 62 within a few minutes. Then, they bring in some crazy devise (can remember it’s name) that they claim the spirits can light up when they are communicating. The team uses this devise, now that they have found something in the room that can lower the temp. As the team is in the guest room with this spirit it asks the spirit to answer some questions. If the answer is yes they ask the spirit to make the devise light up twice, if the answer if no they tell the spirit to make the devise light up once. They start off by asking if there is a spirit in the room, the devise lights up twice. The following are additional questions the team asked

1. Are there more than one spirit in this house?
2. Are you a victim of murder?
3. Is the other spirit a victim of murder?
4. Are you Jay Sebring?
4. Is the other spirit Sharon Tate?

The devise did flash twice for each question indicating that the team was communicating with Charles Manson’s murder victims. The team also pick up voices and noises through out the house using their equipment that appeared to be a woman’s voice.

At the end of the teams investigation they always meet back up with the person who asked them to come and investigate, so the team can provide them with some answers.

While watching the rest of the episodes today the TAPS team would come up with some answers to things that are going on such at the dwelling, such as a structure settling, or dust in the air that they end up catching on their camera.

Not every episode will the team find as much information like they did in the episode described above but at least in every episode there was always something that they could not explain. There were two other episodes that they found crazy things going on and did capture figures that move and resembles a humans.

Also, the SCIFI channel and Ghost Hunters also air some of their investigations Live. A investigation takes about 7 hours. A live investigation does air tonight from 5:00 PM-12:00AM with the findings and conclusions to the live investigation airing on Wednesday, November 5, 2008.
