Was the second time staying here. We celebrated our 4th anniversary and had an enjoyable experience. When we arrived,since it was so cold, Mike suggested an upstairs room with a gas fireplace at no additional charge.(Would have been $30. more a night.) We stayed 2 nights and were never cold.Great suggestion.The view from our room was spectacular. We even saw a huge Buck walking thru the back yard and wedding area,plus lots of animal footprints,large and small, in the new snow. The breakfast basket alone is worth the price of the stay.Delivered to the door with a "shave-and-a-haircut". I'd never heard of that before but now I know.The basket was heavy with goodies.Hot,fresh muffins and an egg dish,plus fruit ,orange juice,milk.What a way to start a day!!

First time at a bed and breakfast--not sure what to expect--reserved on line based on other reviews. Everything about our stay was perfect--wish we could have stayed longer. Mike and Sally were absolutely dedicated to making our stay wonderful. Very kind, warm and friendly. The room we chose was fun and creative--down to every detail. Looking forward to returning to experience another wonderful, relaxing stay. Glenn and Donna, MN

We were extremely pleased with the room. But, the best experience during our short stay was having breakfast delivered to our room at 8:30 in a lovely basket! The food was delicious. The B&B is quiet. The host was so welcoming. The B&B was easy to find - we stopped at the Visitors' Center to get general information about Manitou Springs, looked up and saw the Blue Skies arch next door!

I discovered Blue Skies Inn many years ago, and it has become my favorite place to stay any time I'm in the Colorado Springs area. The Deep Blue suite is my favorite for when I bring my granddaughter with me - but for a romantic weekend, try the Sunset Suite. The breakfast each morning is brought right to your door in a basket you can take out for a picnic - and it's always fresh and delicious! Mike and Sally take extra care to make sure your stay is everything you want it to be. I'll be back again! and again. and again. You will not be disappointed!

This B&B was absolutely delightful! We randomly picked Blue Skies Inn from the online photos and couldn't have been more in awe when we saw our suite in person. Everything was meticulous from the artwork in the rooms to the incredibly delicious hot breakfast that was delivered in the morning in 2 big beautiful baskets. Sally and Mike were wonderful hosts and very accommodating with making our stay comfortable with our kids. You can see the pride they take in their B&B. In fact, if you ask Mike, he will take you on a tour of the grounds and give you a detailed history about the property. Seeing the different suites was like going to a museum. We will definitely return!

Blue Skies B&B is a beautiful place to say because the innkeepers have made it a very special place to stay. Each room is very charming, thanks to Sally's (the innkeeper) artwork. Plus, breakfast is to "die for", especially if you eat it in the Secret Garden. We should know because w have stayed there at least 14 times!

We stayed for 2 nights in the Indian Rock Art Room. It was very comfortable. The room was clean, and cozy. The breakfast is delivered to your door in an adorable basket, with fresh baked muffins and other dishes. We would recommend this B&B highly!

The Blue Skies Inn was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. We enjoyed our spacious suite, which was beautifully decorated. A large, hot breakfast was served to our suite every morning. The food was delicious - definitely one our of our favorite parts. The atmosphere of the B&B was relaxing and charming; it was unlike anywhere we had ever visited. We had a wonderful experience thanks to the friendly innkeepers, Sally & Mike. We are looking forward to visiting again!

Everything is perfect at the Blue Skies Inn. From the cozy sleeping chamber to the spacious and well-appointed bathroom to the intimate sitting room, the entire environment is gauged to encourage romance. Breakfast was served promptly at the requested times and was always absolutely delicious. We were married at the Inn and took advantage one of the offered wedding packages. There is one kind of couple that should take advantage of the Blue Skies Inn for a wedding...those wishing to have a well-planned, romantic wedding. Then, too, the price cannot be bettered for a wedding with 100 or fewer guests. It includes one of three beautiful wedding settings (two outdoors and one indoors), a professional photographer, all flowers, the cake, large quantities of the tastiest hors d'oeuvres you can imagine and two nights at the Inn. The only things you must supply are wedding garb and guests. The proprietors work closely with you to ensure your wedding is perfect. We more-or-less left everything to them aside from colors and music, and it resulted in a beautiful, romantic, relaxed wedding day.

For our 19th wedding anniversary, we spent the night at the Blue Skies Inn. Soon after we arrived, we met Mike who checked us in and gave us a brief tour of the property which includes ten hand-painted, uniquely designed suites. Mike proudly showed off Sally's handiwork - from the hand painted furnishings and custom tile work to the stenciling and murals which make each room its own unique tapestry. Following a relaxing and romantic night, we awoke to a hot breakfast being dropped off on our doorstep which we enjoyed in our breakfast nook. We feasted on a sumptuous spinach eggbake with fresh fruit and homemade muffins before spending some time in the hot tub and making our way back home.

We've stayed at Blue Skies twice now and can't wait to stay again. Sally and Mike are the ultimate hosts. They are constantly working to improve on perfection. Even with the long and harsh winter they are preparing for the Spring, Summer, and Fall season by redoing and fixing up things that would already seem great to most people. So inventive, artistic, and personable ways they find to make things even better. Anytime is a great time to stay at Blue Skies!

This place is magical! Sally and Mike went above and beyond to meet our "needy" needs. We felt like we were in a fairytale in our room. The shower was divine.The breakfast was outstanding. The tour was lovely. We will def be back!! Rocio & Dave

From start to finish, our experience with Blue Skies Inn was magical. We purchased one of their wedding packages, and Sally, the owner and wedding coordinator, immediately seemed to "get" our vision of the perfect wedding. She even went so far as to buy flowers for her spring garden that were color-coordinated to our wedding theme; now THAT is customer service. The cake, bouquet and our photos were all amazing, but it was in the tiny details that the quality of this place shines through: the little charms on my bouquet that matched our wedding theme, the cake and chilled cider waiting in our room after the reception, the treats on the bed when we arrived, the strawberry-scented bodywash, the fresh-from-the-oven muffins each morning, and I could go on and on. Our wedding was blissfully easy and so much darned FUN because Sally was as excited about it as we were!! Whether you plan to get married here or not, though, Blue Skies is a wonderful place to visit. We stayed in the "Blue Skies" suite, and the bed was incredibly soft (so was the carpet!) and the room beautifully decorated. We loved the tea/cocoa/cider/snack setup, the miles-long list of movies to borrow, the hot tub under the stars, the relaxing jacuzzi tub, the MASSIVE bathroom, the luxurious bedside gas fireplace, the big windows overlooking the hills outside... Breakfast is a hot egg dish, fresh-baked muffins, coffee, orange juice, and fresh fruit. It's enough food for probably four people, so if you can't eat it all that means yummy leftovers! Time after time in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding, Sally's generosity and friendliness just blew me away. I came away from the experience feeling like we'd made a wonderful new friend; and we plan to go back as often as we possibly can. I'm already missing that big fluffy bed and the jacuzzi!

My husband and I just spent our 1st anniversary at Blue Skies Inn. It was a perfect place to stay. We took a tour of all the rooms and learned about how each room is custom decorated and the walls are all painted by Sally. Each bathroom is also custom decorated and the tile-work is just amazing! Every morning you will get a full breakfast picnic basket delivered to your doorstep. This B&B is on the top of my list for places to stay in Colorado.

My husband and I had a great time at Blue Skies, especially the hot tub! The breakfast was great, met all my expectations. The rooms are beautiful!!
4.2 on December 03, 2008
We found this lovely place twice and each time we were so pleased. The location was very convenient and the rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast is vegetarian, but no less delicious and arrives in a basket outside your room. The grounds are perfect for a breakfast picnic and the pride that Sally and Mike take in their plants is very evident.

My husband and I have been here 5 times now, all in different rooms with themes. We come for Annv, Birthday, or just for a few days away alone. The rooms all have a different theme and feel to each one. The bottom floor rooms with bathrooms are really big. WE LOVE THAT! We just LOVE that our breakfast is delivered right to the door and we can eat in our room and have plenty of privacy and relaxation. The hot tub is wonderful on cold winter nights. Hubby and I treated our best friends to the deep blue room (our favorite), with a massage and they just loved it. We would recommend The Blue Skies Inn to anyone looking for a very nice quiet, romantic place to stay. We sleep so good while we are here. Sally & Mike are very wonderful nice people. We will be back again soon~ 5 stars across the board hands down.

We stayed 4 nights and hated to leave. Because this was a very special time for us, we were so pleased with the filling and delicious breakfasts, pristine and beautiful decor, and special accommodations. Our hosts could not have been more pleasant or generous!

We just came back from 3 nights at Blue Skies. My husband and I had a suite & our teenagers had a separate suite. Everyone of us loved our rooms and thought our breakfast being brought to the door was Great!! We already miss Blue Skies and plan to go back next year. Bravo Sally & Mike

The Blue Skies Inn is in a great location, has lovely rooms, and a nice staff! But if you stay, you HAVE to take a dip in the hot tub...that's the BEST part!

WHEN students knock on the principal's door at All Saints Parish School this week they might, at first, be a little surprised to see a fresh new face looking back at them.
Welcoming them will be new principal Olga Lyons, who has taken over the chair from long-time principal Gloria Council, who retired at the end of 2013.
Mrs Council had been in charge of All Saints Parish School since the amalgamation of the two Catholic primary schools (All Saints Primary School and MacKillopCatholicPrimary School) in 2001. Prior to that she had been principal at MacKillop from 1988 to 1997 and of both schools from 1998 to 2000.
Given that stability in the role over the past 25 years, Mrs Lyons has big shoes to fill, but with a long history in Catholic education the school appears to have found the right person for the job.

Shuttle team reaps a scientific harvest, despite malfunctions
Despite continuing problems with some equipment, Challenger astronauts in space and the science team on the ground are reaping a substantial harvest of data from this troubled mission. ``We have been able to assure ourselves that the science return . . . will be very high,'' says mission scientist Eugene W. Urban.
The mission team, at this writing, was still trying to recover full use of the instrument pointing system (IPS), which enables sun-observing instruments to track their targets with high precision.
Experimenters also had not been able to fix a malfunctioning instrument called SOUP. SOUP is a combination of telescope and video cameras used for studying activity of the solar magnetic field and the polarization of the sun's visible light.
Otherwise, Mission 51-F was carrying out a fast-paced research plan.
Peter Meyer of the University of Chicago says the cosmic-ray sensor has already sent back enough data to keep him and his colleague, Dietrich Muller, busy for the next two years. They are studying the composition and energy characteristics of some of the high-energy cosmic-ray particles arriving at Earth from outer space.
Several of the instruments involve studies of what physicists call plasma, a gas made up of electrically charged particles. But since there are equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles, the gas, as a whole, is electrically neutral. Much of the matter in the universe, such as stars, is in the form of a plasma. So, too, is the thin residual atmosphere through which the shuttle travels.
One experiment, in which an electron beam is shot into this plasma environment, has already produced brilliant light displays and much useful data.
Another experiment involves the effect of water, discharged by the shuttle's orbital maneuvering system thrusters, on the high atmosphere. The electrically charged plasma particles in this part of the atmosphere -- called the ionosphere -- reflect shortwave radio signals and bounce them around Earth.
Influenced by the water, some of the positively charged particles recombine with negatively charged electrons. This process opens ``holes'' in the ionosphere, which allow the radio waves to pass through without reflection. Experimenters, who are testing the physical properties of the ionosphere, have seen several instances of this from their ground stations. They report that the holes appear to be more circular and take longer to fill in than was expected.

I'm sat in the salisbury right now. A gorgeous day, a pint and some good pub food is what's needed. Pricesly the reason I walked into this pub in the first place. Unfortunately I was handed a flat litovel and an over priced ausie burger. Usually I would gladly pay 9 quid for a burger, but this one looks thrown together by an incompetent. I'll have to saver the 21 chips it was accompanied with as they look like the best part of my day. Only thing is, I'm a man. Take away your petty kiddie sized portions and start earning the money your asking for this experience.
And clean the god damp lines.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- Tuesday, February 20, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer -- 515-281-6699.
States alleged that several companies and the American Optometric Association kept prices artificially high for replacement lenses by requiring consumers to make purchases only from eye care professionals. Bausch & Lomb will change its practices and pay $17.5 million -- including rebates to consumers -- if the court approves the settlement as expected.
Attorney General Tom Miller said today that Bausch & Lomb Inc. is settling a multi-state antitrust lawsuit that alleges the company made illegal agreements with other lens makers and the American Optometric Assn. that resulted in less choice and higher prices for replacement contact lenses.
Iowans and others who bought replacement contact lenses since 1988 will be eligible to receive up to $120 in cash rebates on future Bausch & Lomb purchases and other benefits if the court approves the settlement.
"We alleged that several lens makers and the Optometric Association entered into agreements to limit the availability of replacement lenses to certain types of eye care professionals, which resulted in less choice and higher prices for consumers," Miller said. "We alleged that consumers found it harder to purchase replacement lenses from these manufacturers through other routes such as mail orders, phone orders, the Internet, or pharmacies."
Miller said 32 states are filing a motion today for preliminary approval of the Bausch & Lomb settlement agreement by the U.S. Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Jacksonville. Another defendant, CIBA Vision, settled separately with the States late last year, and trial is scheduled March 19 in Jacksonville for two remaining defendants - the American Optometric Association, and Johnson & Johnson Vision Products.
The settlement with Bausch & Lomb includes benefits for consumers, other payments by the company, and injunctive relief:
Terms and procedures for consumers remain to be approved by the court, but Miller said information already is available to consumers nationwide. The toll-free number is 1-888-707-5880.
Miller said a national advertising campaign will be used to alert consumers if the settlement is approved, as expected. He said information and links also are being posted today at his office's web site: www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.org.
"I encourage consumers to consult these sources," Miller said, "and our office will alert consumers further on how to take advantage of the settlement when the court approves it."
"This will benefit consumers in the future by ensuring stronger competition, more choice, and lower prices for replacement lenses," Miller said.
States involved in the multi-state antitrust case are: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CT, DE, FL, ID, IL, IA, KS, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MO, NV, NJ, NY, NC, ND, OH, PA, OR, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI

The ioSafe SoloPRO USB 3.0
Here we get our first look at the SoloPRO. The newer PRO model comes in a black casing and has an LED system on the front that shows activity and power.
As we said before, the unit isn't small, but then again, you are buying this for protection and not to carry around in your purse. The SoloPRO has a very industrial look, function over form. When it comes to protection you will want the big muscle guy over the skinny guy who knows a little Karate.
The interface is on the back of the system. Here you'll find a quiet fan, plugs for power and USB 3.0 as well as a power switch. Just next to the fan is a security slot so you can even lock the enclosure to a hard point. The system has some weight so I don't see anyone stuffing this in their coat and walking away with it easily.
On the bottom four hard plastic feet keep the enclosure from sitting flush on the ground. This will keep a small amount of water out of the system right from the start.
The accessory package includes the USB 3.0 cable that is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, some paper manuals and the power supply bits.

How Much Caffeine Is in Your Energy Drink?
Oct. 25, 2012 -- How much caffeine is in your energy drink?
Don't count on finding out by reading the product label, a Consumer Reports (CR) investigation finds.
The consumer group tested 27 popular energy drinks. Eleven didn't list the amount of caffeine on the label. Among the 16 products that did, five had more than 20% more caffeine than the label claimed. One had about 70% less.
But all of the products had one thing in common: caffeine. Many had lots of caffeine. That raises a red flag for Gayle Williams, CR's deputy health editor.
"The amount of caffeine in these products is worrisome," Williams says. "They tout that they are as safe as coffee, but maybe not. They have a lot more caffeine than an 8-ounce cup of coffee."
That 8-ounce cup of coffee has about 100 milligrams of caffeine, although coffees and teas vary widely in their caffeine content depending on how they are brewed. For example, CR finds that 8 ounces of Starbucks coffee has 165 milligrams of caffeine.
CR says safe limits of caffeine are up to 400 milligrams per day for healthy adults, 200 milligrams a day for pregnant women, and up to 45-85 milligrams per day for children, depending on weight.
Not all of the makers of energy drinks are members of the American Beverage Association, the trade group that represents the soft drink industry. The ABA says its members' energy drink labels do list caffeine amounts.
"As an association, we are setting a leadership example in the energy drink category through our adoption of voluntary policies, including listing total caffeine amounts from all sources on beverage labels," the ABA's response to the CR survey says. "This voluntary policy, along with others covering marketing to children and school sales, is outlined in the ABA Guidance for the Responsible Labeling and Marketing of Energy Drinks, which is available on our web site and has been adopted by The Coca-Cola Company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, PepsiCo, and Red Bull North America."
How Much Caffeine?
The consumer group bought three samples of each of the 27 energy drinks and tested them for caffeine. The highest amount per serving was 242 milligrams of caffeine in 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength. The lowest was in 5-Hour Energy Decaf, which despite the name carries 6 milligrams of caffeine per serving.

Ever since the bygone days of the Wild West, folks have always wanted to check out the newcomer in town and hear all the latest gossip before they got better acquainted. These days Pinterest, the fastest drawing social media network in history, has everyone eyeing it with curiosity and just a little trepidation. They wonder if it will settle down — or become another in a long line of drifters who pass through town. Before you take the trouble to get acquainted with this newcomer, allow me to share some insider tips about how to make the most of your Pinterest experience.
I'll also caution you to keep your eyes and ears open because social networks have a habit of changing things up just as you get comfortable around them. You've always got to keep your wits about you.
The good
- Pinterest is informal, which makes it a great place to unwind and take in the sights.
- Pinterest is a great way to get to know people better by their taste in food, decor and fashion. Now I can bond with people I met at conferences over designer shoes neither of us can afford.
The bad
- Understand that everything you share could go viral. If it does, you probably won't get credit for the image unless you cleverly watermark in a way that can't be cropped. When I share my travel pictures, it's because I want to share my love of Paris, not because I expect to get photo credit.

Has anyone heard of Prairie Star Persimmon? Any comments? One Green World is selling it but I can't find any other info. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Prairie Star
Follow-Up Postings:
MG, It is a Claypool H118. Jerry Lehman told me it is good, large, nice red color , but a little soft when ripe. Tony |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 13:38
Thanks Tony, I got an NC-10 from England last fall but it doesn't look to me like it made it. The rootstock and the scion are both shriveled. I was wondering if Prairie Star would be a good replacement as most likely everyone else is sold out. I have an order from OGW that hasn't shipped yet so I could add it. I guess I don't know what rootstock they use at OGW so I'd better find out. Any suggestions? |
MG, You can call OGW and ask them but I pretty sure it is on D. Virginiana for American persimmon. Kaki sometimes they grafted it on D. Lotus. Tony |
Tony, Are you sure it's H-118? From Englands'- Early Jewel (H-118) - Very Early, Large fruit, Reddish color fruit, Soft when ripe, very high quality fruit. Precocious and a consistent producer, bears seedless fruit south of the Ohio River due to it being a 90 Chromosome persimmon. Out of the Late James Claypool Breeding program. Container Grown Small Only |
Noogy, Praire Star is a trade name that OGW picked. I emailed Jerry Lehman and asked about it and he told me it was H-118 with the description. I am hoping my H-118 will fruit this year so I can put some input about it. Tony |

Reviews for Clarithromycin to treat Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Review by happyredhead (taken for less than 1 month):
User Rating: |
I have taken clarithromycin on two separate occasions for treatment of Helicobacter Pylori both times. One time was approximately 7 years ago and then again about 3 years ago. I am about to start another round along with amoxicillin and bismuth, which is Pepto Bismol. Clarithromycin leaves a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. I am not looking forward to taking it again. The only thing that seemed to relieve this momentarily was chocolate. I kept Hershey's kisses with me all the time. I would even have to get up in the middle of the night and eat one. The taste was so bad that I couldn't even go back to sleep. A nurse told me that she had heard this worked. After eradication, try Oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract, and tumeric daily.

Taking the PrevPak which is a mixture of clarithromycin, amoxicillin and Prevacid. When take the night time dose of the medications I experience metallic taste which lasts for awhile. In the morning I do not notice the metallic taste. I will start to try full meal and chocolate to see if the taste is not so obvious. Also going to get the big red gum cinnamon flavor and keep gum at my bedside when wake up to chew the gum. Grapefruit should not mixed with the antibiotic as it interacts with lots of antibiotics and medications.

Review by cmp:
10 day run to get rid of H-pylori. In that 10 days I seem to be one that experienced negative side effects but continued on for the eventual benefit "for me". I experienced extreme fatigue, ringing in ears, forgetfulness, migraine headaches, nasty taste/smell. Had thrush at day 7 and day 10 is here. Feel like I was hit by a truck. Have follow-up to see if H-pylori is gone, will come back to update.

Video Review: Hitachi CP-X10000
Apr 10, 2009 12:00 PM, By Jeff Sauer
Large-venue projector provides the right combination of price, performance, and features.
The other features in the three new models are an active-iris-driven contrast ratio of 2500:1 and high-quality image processing, including 12-bit digital gamma and 10-bit signal processing—which matches the image caliber of some higher-end home-theater projectors.
I tested the CP-X10000 with the standard medium-throw lens, but Hitachi offers five other lens options ranging from 0.5-0.6 for the ultra-short-throw USL-801 lens to the ultra-long-throw UL-806 lens with a ratio of 5-9.2. All have powered focus and zoom, and all but the ultra-short-throw lens offer both vertical and horizontal lens shift. Each of these lenses adds a good 25 percent to the weight of the chassis, yet that still keeps the CP-X10000 at a convenient weight for lifting and mounting.
Related Links | ||||||
Something for everyone
Hitachi gives the CP-X10000 a brightness specification of 7500 ANSI lumens, and that, like most brightness specs, is exaggerated—in this case by more than 10 percent. I measured a peak brightness of just less than 6700 ANSI lumens with an average in Daytime mode of about 6400 ANSI lumens. On the other hand, brightness uniformity topped a wonderful 93 percent in my tests, and I measured every bit of Hitachi's 2500:1 contrast and then some.
Naturally, those specs, as well as color accuracy, have a lot to do with configuration. For example, going to Cinema mode drops overall brightness by about 50 percent, but it dramatically increases the color accuracy and the smoothness of the grayscale ramp. In Daytime mode, cyan and yellow are skewed far toward green, which itself is extreme. Blue also moves toward green, but not by as much as the secondaries. Similarly, the Daytime mode grayscale ramp is a serious S-curve with color temperature fluctuating wildly. However, in Cinema mode—and, to a slightly lesser extent, in Normal mode—colors are almost right on, and the grayscale ramp is a nice smooth curve. Those differences in measurements are certainly to be expected, albeit usually not quite as pronounced.
Still, the CP-X10000 is affordable by large-venue standards and offers a wonderful combination of user-friendly features and sophisticated installation options. Although there's a choice between its highest brightness output and its top color performance, the overall package makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of venues.

Tennessee opened the 2012-13 season with a stunning 80-71 loss at Chattanooga in the Lady Vols' first game of the post-Pat Summitt era. They finally get their chance to avenge that loss Thursday at Thompson-Boling Arena.
"I think we have a different mindset," Tennessee guard Ariel Massengale said. "Last year, we weren't very mentally tough. When we got hit in the mouth, it was kind of hard for us to bounce back."
Chattanooga returns three players who started in the win last year. The Lady Mocs have a new coach in Hall of Famer Jim Foster, who took over the program after Wes Moore left for North Carolina State. Chattanooga, which went 29-4 and reached the NCAA tournament last year, opened the season Friday with an 82-70 victory over Alabama.
Tennessee opened with road wins over Middle Tennessee and No. 12 North Carolina before hosting the Lady Mocs.
"We're determined," Lady Vols' guard Andraya Carter said. "We want to win. We want to beat them. They came out and they beat us last year. They played really well and they deserved to win that game, but this year we don't want that to happen. We will think about it and we will talk about it."
Chattanooga expects that kind of approach from Tennessee.
"I know they weren't happy with the way things went," said Chattanooga forward Taylor Hall, who scored 24 points against Tennessee last year. "They're probably looking to get us back. They never overlooked us, I don't think. There were several close calls (in this series) in the past. We're definitely a team that they're aware of now."
Those close calls generally didn't take place in Knoxville.
Tennessee lost last year's game in Chattanooga and escaped with a 66-63 victory at Chattanooga in 2008. But Chattanooga hasn't beaten Tennessee on the road since 1973. Tennessee has beaten Chattanooga 10 straight times in Knoxville by an average margin of 33 points.
"I don't think we've had much confidence in the past just entering those games," Hall said. "We kind of thought of how they've gone every other time we went in that building. Hopefully, we don't think like that this year."
Hall says the Lady Mocs won't be intimidated this season based on their victory over Tennessee last year. Chattanooga shot 56.3 percent in the second half and forced 26 turnovers that night to beat Tennessee despite getting outrebounded 53-31.
Tennessee believes it has made major strides since the last time it faced Chattanooga.
The Lady Vols went on to finish 27-8 and reach an NCAA regional final last season. They've started this season with two road wins despite not getting big performances in either game from SEC preseason player of the year Meighan Simmons or 2012-13 SEC newcomer of the year Bashaara Graves.
They each scored eight points and finished a combined 6 of 22 from the field against the Tar Heels, while 6-foot-6 freshman Mercedes Russell had two points on 2-of-9 shooting from the free-throw line.
Tennessee has shown it can bounce back this year, erasing a 12-point halftime deficit at Middle Tennessee. During that close call, the Lady Vols reminded themselves they wanted to avoid a repeat of last year's season-opening setback.
"It's not ancient history for us," Carter said. "We even brought it up in the (Middle Tennessee) game when we were down at halftime. We were like, 'We're not having another Chatt. It's not going to happen. We're not going to lose to this team.' "
Now the Lady Vols have a chance to show Chattanooga just how far they've come.

Buffalo Wings host meat raffle to help fund trip to Cooperstown
BY: Kaitlin Fritz, Community Papers of WNY | January 08, 2014
Each year, a team from the Buffalo Wings Baseball league receives the opportunity to participate in a weeklong tournament in Cooperstown, New York.
This year, it's the 12 and under team's turn to head to the "birthplace of baseball" to participate in the tournament with 104 teams from throughout the country.
"It's a growing experience, said Tim Ball, head coach for the 12 and under team. "There's not pressure on the kids. They just get to go enjoy the game of baseball."
Ball has been a part of the Buffalo Wings organization for nearly 10 years and this will be his second trip to Cooperstown. He said he can't even explain what a great experience this is for the kids and that he enjoys watching his players learn and work as a team.
"You just love watching these boys develop and learn to appreciate the game," he said. "It's such an enjoyable week for them for the coaches and for the parents to watch them."
He continued by saying during the trip, the kids grow close, working as a team and have a great time on and off the field.
"It's like having a whole set of 11 baseball kids that are your kids for the week," he said.
The team consists of players from throughout Western New York.
To help support the team and send the players to the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, a meat raffle will be held to raise funds.
Ball picked the largest banquet facility he could find in the area and chose the Knights of Columbus at 2735 Union Road, Cheektowaga.
The facility holds up to 500 people and Ball is hoping that's how many will come out at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25.
Admission for the event is $5 and the cost includes beer and pop for the evening. Guests can bring their own snacks.
There will be a variety of big-ticket items that will be raffled off at the event and a 50/50 will also be held. Along with these prizes, door prizes will also be raffled off.
The meat raffle will consist of 12 rounds. Tickets can be purchased during each round, which will contain numbers. Then, a wheel will be spun and the number it lands on is the winning number. Several winners will be chosen for each round to win items such as strip steaks, pork loin, pork chops, ham and more.
"It's really kind of like bingo with meat and it's a wild time," said Ball.
Ball added that he has gone to meat raffles in the past and some guests even brought noisemakers to celebrate when a guest at their table won.
In the past, Ball said they would host a beer blast to help fund the trip but the cost per person was $20. He said now couples can come out for $5 each and have a great time, while also supporting the team.
Players from the team, as well as parents and coaches, will be volunteering to make sure the event runs smoothly and that everyone has a great time.
Tickets can be purchased by calling Ball at 907-7365 or his wife, Cindy at 907-8817. Individual tickets can be purchased or full tables of eight can be reserved for $32.

Searching logfiles with tail, grep, and company
If your hardware or software goes on strike, or the graphical system or your Internet connection fail, checking the logfiles can often be a big help. In this month's column, we will look at the command-line tools that can help you scour the depths of these critical files.
Kernel messages, user logins or log offs, network processes, and many other events are logged meticulously by the Linux system. The Linux system's logging system goes by the name of syslogd (or syslog-ng, "Syslog New Generation" on SUSE Linux); the system logger is a daemon, which is started at system boot time. All log files are stored in the folder /var/ log/ and its subdirectories .
With just a couple of exceptions, most of these protocol files are protected from prying eyes and only readable by the system administrator. To view the files, you can use KDE's file manager, Konqueror, for example, in system administration mode. To do so, pop up a quick starter by pressing Alt+F2 and type kdesu konqueror, then type the root password after the prompt.

Jones Scoops Awards
Defender voted Players and Supporters Player of the Season.
Shots defender Darren Jones scooped the Supporters Trust Player of the Season award alongside the Players' Player of the Year award on Saturday.
Speaking about the player, manager Dean Holdsworth said: "From the moment I came into the club Darren lost a lot of weight and we spoke about the professional side of the game. He has been as solid as a rock for us and is a worth winner of the award".
Jones added: "It is an honour to receive the awards. There are 11 players on the pitch at any time and everybody deserves credit.
"Compared to other clubs in the league we have done remarkably well. We have had a superb Carling Cup run and have only just missed out on the play offs.
"It is enjoyable playing here and our training is very enjoyable but we work hard for each other and I think, especially in the second half of the season, it has showed on the pitch."

Sep 12, 2010 8:41 PM by Courtney Meznarich (DL)
A brave group of men and women were proving anything is possible Sunday at the 5th annual Operation Restoration Surf Camp in Pismo Beach.
AMPsurf put on the event, which brings people in from all over the country each year to learn how to surf.
These people are not just overcoming the challenge of surfing, they are overcoming challenges such as blindness, being an amputee, or even a quadriplegic.
"It doesn't matter how you ride it. I mean we call this adaptive surfing, so we're adapted to your riding, whether you're a quadriplegic, maybe it's just laying in riding on a wave, if you're an amputee like myself, you know we try to get you to stand up as much as you can and ride, and all these guys have been huge successes," said Dana Cummings, the executive director of AMPsurf.
The event happens several times a year all over the state.
About 130 people came out to surf or volunteer Sunday.
