VAIL, Colorado-- Local Republicans and Democrats have varying opinions - no shock there - on who won the vice presidential debate Thursday night.
For Republicans watching the debate, Vice President Joe Biden's continuous laughter came off as arrogant, which Edwards resident and Republican Buddy Shipley said wasn't surprising.
"Joe Biden exhibited the usual bluster and buffoonery everyone has come to expect," Shipley said. "Paul Ryan exhibited more restraint and composure than should be expected of anyone."
Talk to a local Democrat, though, and the views starkly contrast those of the Republicans. Democrat Carole Onderdonk, for example, said there's no question that Biden won the debate.
"I thought Biden took it," she said. "And I think Democrats are going to be more spirited now that we have a good debate under our belts."
Democrat Debbie Marquez, a Democratic national committeewoman for Colorado, doesn't think a vice presidential debate has nearly the influence over voters that a presidential debate has. Marquez called Biden's performance "superb," but acknowledged that both he and Ryan seemed to be talking to their base and not necessarily influencing undecided voters.
"I don't think vice presidential candidate debates are generally momentum changers for the president, but I think Biden did fire up the base," Marquez said.
"Fire up" is putting it nicely, according to local Republicans. Eagle County Republicans volunteer Kaye Foley didn't criticize Biden as much as she complimented Ryan, but she did echo Shipley's comparison of Biden to a buffoon.
"I would be very proud to have (Ryan) as president," Foley said, adding that you have to consider that possibility when looking at a vice presidential candidate. "He was calm, sophisticated, polite, he's accurate and he gets down to what's really important. ... He didn't raise his voice or have the smiley gestures. He wasn't rude or disrespectful."
Shipley thought Biden's performance could hurt the Democrats.
"Biden's rude, arrogant and condescending demeanor and constant mockery likely inflicted more harm on himself, especially with regard to independent voters and moderates who are disgusted by such vulgar displays," Shipley said.
One local Democrat agreed that Biden laughed too much during the debate, which she called rude, but she didn't want to give her name.
Republican Randy Milhoan called Biden's laughter curious, especially during a time when the country is facing a serious debt crisis.
"These are not laughing matters," Milhoan said of the debate.
Bobbi Gallegos commented on the Vail Daily's Facebook page that Biden's performance got the Obama base "fired up and ready to go for the coming weeks."
The next presidential debate is Tuesday, with the final debate less than a week later on Oct. 22. And since the voter registration deadline has passed, local parties are now focusing their efforts on making sure everyone who is eligible to vote actually does vote.
Marquez said local Democratic volunteers are taking direction from the Obama field office in Edwards, while local Republican volunteers are staged out of the Eagle County Republicans temporary office in Eagle. Volunteers are manning the offices, passing out stickers and signs, canvassing neighborhoods and making a lot of phone calls to registered voters.
And no volunteer wants to skip a beat or miss an opportunity to reach out to a voter. As Foley spoke on the phone Friday with the Vail Daily about her feelings about Thursday night's vice presidential debate, a young man entered the Republican office looking for information.
"I've got to go and help this young man," Foley said, quickly hanging up the phone.
A Denver Post poll released Friday shows Romney leading Obama 48 percent to 47 percent among Colorado voters. The poll surveyed 614 likely voters by cell phone and home numbers Tuesday and Wednesday, before the vice presidential debate. The Denver Post said the results show the candidates "are still effectively tied" in Colorado.

Nicholas Mosse Pottery was established by Nicholas Mosse in 1976 after periods of tra ining in England and Japan. His mission was to produce beautiful, functional pottery in the style of Irish Spongeware. Irish spongeware was the traditional pottery of Ireland used in the 18th Century. It was ma inly made in simple honest shapes with a decoration applied with a cut sponge. The decoration was rurally inspired often using images of animals and plants popular in the region. Nicholas Mosse Pottery now produce an extensive range of patterns and shapes all still made and decorated by hand.

Youth: Learning and Living the Faith
A Lilly
Endowment Inc. Funded Research Project
Summary and Design
Brief Executive
Summary by Katherine M. Douglass and Richard R. Osmer
The Confirmation Project seeks to learn the extent to which confirmation and equivalent practices (CEP) in five Protestant denominations in the United States are effective for strengthening discipleship in youth. Strengthening discipleship includes nurturing faith in Jesus Christ and facilitating youth encounters with Christian traditions (Scripture, creeds, confessions, and practices) to support lifelong Christian vocation.
The five denominations in this project include: the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the United Methodist Church.
This project is funded by a generous grant from Lilly Endowment Inc of over $1.1 million. The grant seeks to provide ministry leaders within the Christian Church example strategies and practices that are effective in helping young Christians grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Leadership for the grant includes two co-directors and a steering committee of five practical theologians (one from each of the five denominations represented in the study), five graduate research assistants (one in each denomination represented in the study) and several specialty persons.

The aim of this project is to examine confirmation and equivalent practices within five denominations that practice infant baptism with the goal of strengthening discipleship formation for youth.
Primary research question is:
What is the state of confirmation and equivalent practices within five Protestant denominations that practice infant baptism?
The primary objectives are:
A. To carry out empirical research on confirmation and equivalent practices across five denominations. A concurrent, mixed method approach will be used, including quantitative surveys and qualitative portraitures.
B. To interpret and analyze findings that will strengthen youth discipleship within the church.
C. To disseminate the findings of this study through articles, monographs, webinars, conferences, and an interactive website.
The secondary objectives are:
A. To offer new theological thinking about confirmation and equivalent practices, inviting congregations to think in fresh ways about the nature of Christian discipleship and young people.
B. To serve as a catalyst for discussion among practitioners and ministry leaders involved in confirmation and equivalent practices.
C. To provide resources for the development of effective pedagogical approaches for confirmation and equivalent practices that take into account contemporary and contextual challenges.
The primary audience is practitioners and ministry leaders in congregations. And the secondary audiences for this research are leaders of denominations, so they may provide guidance to the educational ministry of their church, and professors in seminaries and divinity schools teaching in the area of confirmation, as well as Christian education more generally.
Research Methods:
A concurrent, mixed method approach will be used to study the primary research question.
A. Qualitative - Qualitative research will include gathering data through site visits (visiting 20 congregations, four in each denomination, and five camps, one in each denomination) and sharing the findings through developing portraits.
B. Quantitative - Quantitative research will include analyzing data from surveys of confirmands, parents and congregational leaders. (Confirmands, parents and ministry leaders will be surveyed in fall 2014 and again in spring 2015; surveying confirmands at camps will take place in the summer of 2015). (For more detail on research methodology, go to theconfirmationproject.com.)
This project emerged out of a similar study on confirmation in Europe, which began in 2007. A preliminary survey of pastors in the United States was conducted in 2012, and as a result the current study was proposed to Lilly Endowment Inc. and approved for funding in 2013. Currently the European confirmation study includes nine countries and is in the second phase of research. This project has been designed so the findings of the United States study can be put into conversation with the findings from both phases of the European study.
Key definitions:
Why the term confirmation and equivalent practices? The practices surrounding confirmation have been important for youth discipleship in many Protestant denominations that practice infant baptism. The rituals and practices surrounding confirmation, however, have changed over the years, as has the contemporary context. This project's aim is to study the current state of confirmation in the United States in Protestant denominations who practice infant baptism and, given the changes that have taken place in many of these denominations, the steering committee believed it important to focus on confirmation practices more widely rather than more narrowly. Therefore the term confirmation and equivalent practices is being used to allow each denomination to work within their tradition and understanding of confirmation.

12 miles at the lake for my wife and me. Each week it gets easier. Spareribs
Thanks for the new thread Ribs. Looks like you and the saint started the month off well. Congrats on that.
6.25 miles on the fast side of easy today. This week is a high mileage week for me so had to run today to get all the miles.
Run strong, stay safe.
Fred, I had nothing to do with this. How do you like the new shoes?
I couldn't resist a couple of miles in the snow this morning and then taught 2 hours of pool running this afternoon.
Your progress has been astounding Mr Ribs, thanks to that brand spanking new washing machine motor!!
Back on the ski trails today for an hour and forty. It snowed a bit last night and the trails were not yet groomed so they were very slow. We have done the same route in 90 min easily, but not today.
It's good to be able to work out again. Hopefully this streak of back to back days will continue for a while.
Morning all. Tigger glad your feeling a bit better. Ribs running well too.
5.75 ez this morning and hopefully another 4 or so tonight. Last big mileage week for me before Boston. Hope to get about 85 but will depend on work schedule. Have a 22 miler planned for Saturday and all my training partners are involved in a 200 mile relay so I'm going to have to do it on my own.
I too am encouraged at the Tigger workout. He sure has endurance. Fingers crossed here.
KS, why such an early taper? Boston is 6-7 weeks out.
3.3 slow on the dirt to recover from yesterday, then full stretch and core workout at Y. Spareribs
Euphy, the new Kayanos are great. I'm already running faster.
Sunday - 6 miles easy @ 18F
Monday - indoor 200 track
5 minute warmup, 15 minutes @ steady state, 15 minutes fairly hard, 25 minutes warmdown
Basketball 2.5 hours, walk 30 minutes
Back in the 70's-80's we would a 20 miler 7 seven days before a marathon, then 3 days high protein/fat, followed by
3 days of high carb. The taper would start on Wednesday or Thursday.
If I was running a hard 12 mile progression run last fall I would take a gel at 3 to 4 miles in.
Hey Ribs. Don't think I'm tapering. This week schedule calls for 85 miles with long run of 22. Next two weeks are 76 miles with an 18 and 20 respectively. Then 66 miles with a 17 miler and then a 49 mile week and then a 30 mile week plus marathon. Last week was a cutback week of 73 miles and two previous weeks were 86 and 87 miles.
Included in the above mileage are mid week long runs 12-14 miles on hills. And at least one "speed" type workout per week. Ribs, Fred, and others; I welcome your feedback as I'm going everything possible to go under 3 at Boston. Don't tell me just run Boston and enjoy it. I can do both
Paul, congratulations on your 10 mile race the other day (your last post on the February thread). Sounds like that was a good run.
I agree with everyone about the gels, and am glad you posted about that, Spareribs. I've always only had water on runs and then I usually plan my run so I stop at a water source if I'm running long and it's warm. I don't carry a bottle with me. If you drink up before you run, that's usually just fine. Runners don't need the extra sugar and calories in the gels when your body supplies what you need. It seems to be a new fad, much like the energy drinks you see. Just extra calories--they're like drinking shots of sugared caffeine ("energy" drinks), that's all.
We camped in a very isolated spot in the desert--there were no people around for several miles at least. We were on public lands near the edge of China Lake Naval Weapons Station at a tiny dry lake at the terminus of a rarely-used and difficult at times to follow track and could see the radio towers on two hillsides several miles away in opposite directions. Still, it felt like the ends of the earth, which was fine by me.
I would have liked to have found good herbs in that area for that pasta, Paul, but there was mostly scrubby creosote, and quite a few flowers in bloom. We had a our dog along and we took him for a four mile or so walk on Saturday and looked for signs of historic Native American presence in the area (my husband is an amateur-expert in archeology). Since I had 32 miles by Thursday, and was tired, I felt the need to rest. Sunday was also a three mile walk in the desert with our dog. The roads were too rough for running and I spent a lot of time in a chair reading or looking at clouds. This week is a reduced mileage week for me--only the third one I've taken in three months. I think I need it. Unfortunately, I'm traveling Sunday, so it will be a fairly low mileage next week too. Today was three miles on the dirt track, slow.
I seem to race better if I train thru my races rather than a full taper. I will cut my miles back a bit towards the end in hopes of sharpening a little. Today 10.5 miles avg pace 7:30. All between 7:50 to 7:17
KS, the problem at Boston is probably the downhills, so 6:50 to 6:55 miles on downhills in training would
benefit your racing.
"Know the course. That's the first step toward a successful run in Boston. While Bill Rodgers eventually moved to Boston and trained on the Newton hills four or more times per week, he hadn't begun doing so in 1973, when he was confident in his ability but naive to the demands of the course. A naturally aggressive downhill runner, Rodgers pushed too hard in the early going and paid the price. Though Heartbreak steals most of the headlines, you only need to fear it if you've mismanaged the preceding miles. Heartbreak didn't knock Rodgers out in 1973; it merely dealt the final blow following several rounds of steady pounding from the early downhills and the heat. "If runners can run a real moderate first half, they will loooove that last half," Rodgers says today. "The hills are not tough hills unless you play with fire and let the first half of the course seduce you." Though it doesn't have a catchy name like its colleague in the 20th mile, the hill that you'll be standing on at the start is actually the largest you'll face. For the first kilometer, you'll descend at a rate of between five and eight percent. "Everything is just geared toward having you run this race fast, fast, fast," says Dr. David Martin, co-author of Better Training for Distance Runners. But be warned: "The seconds per mile that you run too fast at the beginning turn out to be minutes per mile as you run too slow at the end."
AM 80 minutes easy, 10 with Mary, 55 with Alan.

About the Book
Based on a true story—a brilliant, compelling, and provocative novel of the roots of terrorism and the perils of the immigration experience set in turn-of-the-century London
On December 16, 1910, three unarmed London policemen were killed by a gang of Latvian revolutionaries. Among the most sensational crimes of the era, the Houndsditch Murders sparked an unprecedented manhunt across the capital, and then exploded into the gunfight that entered history as the Siege of Sidney Street. Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, assembled by then home-secretary Winston Churchill, descended upon the gang. After hours of bloody battle, the police broke into the hideout and discovered the corpses of two men. The ringleader they had expected to find—an urbane and charismatic revolutionary known as Peter the Painter—had mysteriously vanished, along with his mistress, Rivka, a young refugee and Yiddish music hall singer.
Based on a compelling true story, A Storm in the Blood is a gripping tale filled with strange and disturbing echoes, violence, ethnic unrest, political subterfuge, and terrorism—as shocking today as the original events were in 1910.

Welcome to part 176 of Phish.net's Mystery Jam Monday! Thanks to the very generous folks at Ghostlight Records, we still have one Hands on a Hardbody CD signed by Trey Anastasio that we're awarding to a Mystery Jam winner! Please read below for more information on this exciting prize, including updated prize rules:
Hands on a Hardbody was adapted for the Broadway stage from the 1997 documentary directed by S.R. Bindler, and garnered a Tony nod for "Best Original Score" for Trey and co-writer Amanda Green. Trey's work on the show also got him two Drama Desk Award nominations, he and Green for "Outstanding Music", and his collaboration with Don Hart for "Outstanding Orchestration".
A music video, in part culled from the album recording sessions, that shows Trey in the studio working with the cast, caught the attention of and premiered alongside interviews on rollingstone.com. In one of their articles "Exclusive: Phish's Trey Anastasio Talks About His First Musical," Trey speaks of his musical writing experience as "certainly affecting future songwriting" for him. For fans of Trey Anastasio and fans of Phish, interested in brand new material, as well as the growing and changing artist in Trey, it may be of interest to hear his work in this different medium. To check out samples from the Hands on a Hardbody soundtrack on iTunes, or to purchase if you like what you hear, click here.
We will be awarding the CD to the next unique winner. Therefore, if the winner of a previous CD is the first to correctly identify this mystery jam, they will win the MP3 download, but the CD prize will carry over to the next week's contest. The MP3 download is courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. Previous MJM emeritus @RabeldyNugs is still eligible to win a CD; however, his MP3 prize would carry over to the following week's contest.
To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of the mystery jam clip. Each person gets one guess per day, with the second "day" starting after I post the hint. A hint will be posted on Tuesday if necessary, with the answer to follow on Wednesday. Good luck!
Answer: Another first-time winner for this one, as @justino was the first to answer with the 12/31/98 Ghost. He wins the last of the Trey-signed Hands on a Hardbody CDs, plus an MP3 download.

Ugh!!!! I ran a half marathon last weekend and at 11.5 miles, it felt like my arch collapsed. I finished it because - come on - after 11.5 miles I wanted my dang finishing medal. I hobbled/walked/jogged a very slow finish with a lot of people passing me by. Somehow I still managed to finish in the middle third of the race instead of dead last.
Turns out it's a stress fracture. The doctor says it will be a miracle if I make it to Austin next month. He said he's not saying I can't do it, just that it's very unlikely. After much prodding, he offered up that I could possibly spin-cycle my way to the start line. So that's my plan. I don't want to be out of the race when I'm so close.
Has anyone run on a stress fracture? How serious are they, really? I mean, I did manage to run a mile and a half on it. There's a quarterback who's played a ton of games with one. If I take my calcium and vitamin D supplements and cycle my little heart out.. has anyone else tried it?!! Please help!!!
If you your fracture is not healed and you run on it, the fracture could complete which could put you out for significantly longer possibly even requiring surgery if it's bad enough. Being a quarterback and playing with a stress fracture is COMPLETELY different than trying to run a half marathon or marathon on one (you don't say which you are doing). An NFL quarterback takes a snap, steps back 3 steps and throws a ball. He MIGHT have to run 10-15 yards. MAYBE more. You are talking about running anywhere from 13.1 - 26.2 miles on a stress fracture which is different and honestly stupid if it's not healed. You're talking 2000 steps (give or take) per mile where a QB takes maybe 1000 steps in a whole game. Yeah, totally not the same thing.
Stress fractures take 4-6 weeks to heal. Best case scenario. Calcium and Vitamin D are not going to speed healing but they will help your bones get and remain stronger going forward. Listen to your doctor. It WILL be a miracle if you make it to the start line. Even if you do, sorry, but cycling doesn't mimic running. If you are heck-bent on trying to keep up your fitness and your doctor OK's it, see if you can do pool running. If you don't have access to a pool with a deep end, see if your doctor can give you a prescription and find a place that does. Pool running is the closest equivalent to running without the impact and will be what would keep you in the best shape. But seriously, after my own stress fracture in 2008 took me out of my goal race, I had to keep asking myself "Do you want to run THIS race or do you want to run for the long-term?" Running on an injury like that can take you out for a long time and when I put it to myself that way, the answer was very easy. Keep up the cardio and IF AND ONLY IF your doctor OK's you right before the race should you even consider it.
Stress fractures do not cause arches to collapse. Complete fractures could, but if that were the case you wouldn't be asking us about it, you'd be in a cast. "Stress Fracture" is a convenient diagnosis that makes people stop running so they will not hurt themselves further. If I were you, I'd get a second opinion from a Podiatrist.
Thanks James.
As always, I respect and appreciate your opinion.
I'll think hard on it this weekend.
Thanks Heather. I needed that. My husband will appreciate the football stats. LOL! I do too. Thanks.
Implied but not asked: how was the diagnosis made? Stress fractures generally can't be seen on an x-ray until they start to heal a couple weeks later. Prior to that you need an MRI or bone scan. So a second opinion may be in order. Though that still may not get you to the race on time.
Let me emphasize that I don't recommend running on a stress fracture for the reasons stated by an earlier poster.
You're right, he couldn't see it. He made me walk on my toes, then my heels, felt around my arches and asked me exactly where the pain was and deduced it was most likely a stress fracture. I'm a week down now and my ambitious hopes of healing faster than the average human being and getting to the start line are starting to fade. Still taking calcium supplements though, so we'll see, I guess. It's still a hard pill to swallow that 5 months of training are down the drain.
I'm more worried about the arch collapse you described earlier, than a tiny fissure in the bone's surface. Pound for pound, healthy bone is stronger than untempered steel, which is over 3 times stronger but weighs 4.5 times more. The reason is the layered, tubular structure of bone, called the Haversian Matrix or System:
As you can see, even a crack on the surface is likely to have nothing to do with the integrity of the bone underneath. In the popular culture, we tend to think of bones more with a crystalline structure like porcelain.. which I find comical, especially among runners, who rarely encounter the shear forces of other sports like football. Brittle bones or softened bone are something else entirely, in which case you'd have much more to worry about, so make the most of this checkup.
Meanwhile, the shape of the arch is maintained, not by metatarsal bones and ligaments alone, but by the plantar fascia and muscles/tendons acting on the arch, most notably the Tibialis Posterior, which when released without contraction allows the arch to fall. Even if the muscle (which resides behind and between the bones of the lower leg underneath the Soleus and Gastrocnemius calf muscles) is OK, the tendon wraps underneath the inner ankle bone (medial malleolus) on its way to the spot that hurts. If that tendon were pulled or detached there could be a structural fault or neuromuscular release of the T. Posterior, resulting in the collapsed arch. This should be taken into account during the diagnosis. In the case of a suspected stress fracture, even x-rays show little more than surface calcification, which can be due to other things, including tendon separation or damage.
I recommend the following Medscape link for both you and your doc, because it discusses several separate or concurrent pathologies that are frequently misdiagnosed...http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/386322-overview
Thanks James. I'm not sure if it actually collapsed, it just felt like it that last mile. Intense sharp pain in the middle of my arch. Doc says he thinks it's the 3rd medial metatarsal, so pretty much smack in the middle.
I'm having bone trouble because I'm breastfeeding and it's leeching all the calcium from my body. It seems obvious now, but when I first started I only considered that it would be pretty inconvenient to have a self-inflating chest during a race. It would certainly explain all the trouble I've been having with my shins throughout my training. It might actually be shin splints.
Today I opted out of wearing the boot because it doesn't seem to throb and I just want to guage the pain and motion. I'm taking 1000 mg of Calcium (with Vitamin D and magnesium) a day. I've got 24 days before the Austin marathon and I'm fairly certain I won't make it, but there's still a part of me that just can't let it go.
Now that you mention the 3rd metarsal there is also the possibility of a neuroma, which is very common among distance runners.
Check this link to compare symptoms... http://www.podiatrychannel.com/mortonneuroma/index.shtml
I've been dealing with this problem for some time (it ruined a ferw marathons), but have managed to get around it by modifying my shoes and taping my toes. There are other strategies if it gets out of hand, but the link will describe them in greater detail.
BTW, if that's what it is, it feels like someone drove a spike into your foot. My first suspicion was a fracture too, but it came and went over years depending on mileage. It is more likely (from a runners perspective) if your shoes are cramped or you overpronate.

PARKERSBURG - A new restaurant in Parkersburg wants to appeal to families because it is family owned and was inspired by a family member.
The Root Beer Shack, at 1420 Staunton Ave. opened Nov. 16 at the former Tim's Old Fashioned Root Beer.
"We are a specialty hot dog shop," co-owner Amy Cochran said. "We sell hot dogs, hamburgers and deep fried desserts as well as old fashioned slushie root beer in a frozen mug."

Amy Cochran, Terri Woollard and Samantha Linthicum of the new Root Beer Shack at 1420 Staunton Ave., Parkersburg. The specialty hot dog shop opened in November and features hot dogs, hamburgers and deep fried desserts.
Cochran, who owns the business with her mother Terri Woollard, had worked as a waitress for eight years when she was younger and has always wanted to open a restaurant.
"We have tried to buy several different franchises and bring them to this area, but we couldn't get anyone to come here," she said.
Her grandfather, Jiles Woollard, who passed away in August 2008, loved hot dogs and told her she should open a hot dog shop.
"As inspiration from him, I left my job and my mother left her job and we went in this together," Cochran said. "We knew this used to be Tim's Old Fashioned Root Beer. I love old fashioned root beer. It just seemed like a perfect fit when we found out we could get this building."
The Root Beer Shack offers 11 varieties of hot dogs, including a Plain Hot Dog with ketchup or mustard; a Sauce Dog with a sweet or spicy sauce; a Sauce and Slaw Dog; a Gary Dog, which has peanut butter; a Danny Dog, which includes slaw and ketchup; a Fire Dog with jalapeno peppers and pepper jack cheese; a Bacon Dog, which includes bacon and nacho cheese; a Mexican Dog with the sweet or spicy sauce, salsa, nacho cheese, sour cream and jalapeno peppers; a Pizza Dog with pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese; a Breakfast Dog with egg, American cheese and bacon; and a Corn Dog.
They have seven varieties of hamburgers, including a Plain Burger, Jalapeno Smokin Hot, Loaded Burger, Swiss Mushroom Burger, Bacon Cheeseburger, a Mackey Mountain (which is a cheeseburger sandwiched between two grilled cheeses) and a Pizza Burger.
They offer a variety of sides, including french fries, onion rings, chips cheese fries, and chili cheese fries.
"We consider ourselves a specialty shop because we toast our split-top buns," Cochran said. "All of our sauces are made daily and our hamburgers are patted out daily.
"We want to be known as fresh food, not fast food. With our sauces being made daily, we want to be that step up from a regular hot dog shop."
They have a variety of hand dipped ice creams for milkshakes, floats, sundaes and cones. They offer deep fried Twinkies, Oreos, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, brownie bites and cheese cake bites.
"Business has been really good," she said. "We have exceeded or met our goal every day. We have done exceptionally well."
They have had groups of 14 people are more come into their dining room. The drive-thru window is starting to see more business.
"We are going to have an official grand opening at the beginning of the year after Christmas and New Year's kind of settles down," Cochran said. "We just haven't set the date yet."
The business has the two owners and three employees.
The Root Beer Shack is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Cochran hopes to be able to expand the hours in the summer.
"We hope people stop by and will give us a chance," Cochran said. "We are clean, friendly and family oriented.
"We want it to be an enjoyable place to be, but we also want people to be able to have a good meal."

Investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what happened in the deadly six-car accident Sunday night on Bobby Jones Expressway.
Investigators believe it all started because two vehicles were racing. The driver of one, Lawrence Skinner, died in the wreck. The other driver accused of racing was arrested and charged with several counts of vehicular homicide in the first degree. Only on 12, that man says he is innocent.
Christopher Bush Jr. spent three nights in the Richmond County jail, and he says that is three nights too many. Bush says he was trying to stay away from the driver who deputies say could have been drinking. Bush tells News 12 He got out of the fast lane to let the truck pass, and the accident happened moments later.
Four people tragically died after deputies say the truck flipped into westbound Bobby Jones. Christopher Bush Jr. says he saw the whole thing.
"I feel for the families desperately because they lost their family," Bush said.
He says he remembers moving into the slow lane to get out of the way of the pickup truck driver, 44-year-old Lawrence Skinner. One thought ran through his head.
"What was this man thinkin'? How could he be drivin' like this?" Bush said.
And then the accident happened.
"The traffic was laid out like a checkerboard and he wanted to weave from the slow lane to the fast lane and he lost control and that's when he went across the median. I wish something could have been done before this happened so all of this could have been taken care of before it started," Bush said.
Deputies suspect Skinner may have been driving drunk. But some say Bush is partly to blame as well.
A witness told officers Bush was racing James Skinner on eastbound Bobby Jones right before the crash happened.
"He was in jail several days before being released," said Major Richard Weaver, Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Bush says he didn't belong behind bars.
"I can't describe that, it was a very awful feeling, I felt very out of place and unsure why I was there," Bush said.
He says he didn't do it.
"If I was in the slow lane, dealing with traffic with cars in front of me and cars behind me, I don't see how I could be racing," Bush said.
"It's very difficult to sleep knowing these charges are against me, I just wish the family could have their children back," Bush said.
And now, he's trying to make sense of it all.
"They say everything happens for a reason, but in this case, it's hard to understand why that happened for a reason," Bush said.
The only man facing criminal charges is overcome with emotion for the victims and their families.
"Nobody...nobody should have to go through this. Nobody. He should not have been on the road, none of this would have happened," Bush said.
Bush says he was on his way to meet up with coworkers after leaving his niece's birthday party.
His case is now being handled by the district attorney's office. Bush was bonded out on Wednesday afternoon, and no date has been set for him to appear again. The rest of the accident investigation has been turned over to the Georgia State Patrol, and they hope to have a full report in ninety days.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House and congressional backers of the National Security Agency's electronic surveillance program are warning that ending the massive collection of phone records from millions of Americans would put the nation at risk from another terrorist attack.
With a high-stakes showdown vote looming in the House on Wednesday, White House press secretary Jay Carney issued an unusual, nighttime statement on the eve of the vote.
The measure by Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan would cancel statutory authority for the secret program. Carney contends doing so would, in his words, "hastily dismantle one of our intelligence community's counterterrorism tools."
The head of the NSA, Gen. Keith Alexander, has urged lawmakers to reject it. Seven Republican committee chairmen issued a similar plea in a widely circulated letter to their colleagues.

Is Kobe the best? We can go on-and-on about him he passed Jerry West maybe Magic soon. We know he can't pass Magic. This was talked on game 7 of the NBA Finals when Magic and the others said. He said he can't pass MJ. This questions been going on and on. So what do you think is he the greatest Laker to play the game.He Took the Lake show to the Finals for a 2Peat and could do more for a Three-Peat. What are your Thoughts.
I wasn't alive to see any of the greats like Magic, Jerry West, George Mikan(Duh I don't think any one on this sight was!) But I've seen Kobe play a lot and I think he might be the greatest Laker ever.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- Kevin Durant
Well, it's still arguable.
He's already in the conversation, yet, I personally believe he has three or four years, depending on how the roster is to be a big contributor, and putting up the numbers he's had for the last several seasons or so.
But, I think the discussion should really be talked about when he retires.
He's not done yet, and is going back for the sixth. If he does win, I think he'll be known as the best winner in Lakers history, as far as all of his accolades, but until he really just explodes for another MVP award and Finals MVP, I don't think he'll be the best. Magic Johnson is the best, Kobe is definitely in the top 3, but Jerry West said himself that Kobe is better than him, so I'd say Kobe is the 2nd best at this point.
When all is said and done, I think Kobe will be known as the best Laker's player ever in the franchise, and at least in the top 15 of the best players of all time.
Congrats Phenom70 on your 400th Post!
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- Kevin Durant
Not yet,maybe not ever.I dont see him ever passing magic unless he wins 3 or more championships,with Finals MVPs trophies to go along with it.I have him ranked second or 1b.As for all-time,i have him in the top 15 as of right now,but when its all said and done he will DEFINATELY be in the top 10.

Natural Gas: Fuel Makes Difference
Published: Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 12:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 12:05 a.m.
One of the great success stories of recent years is U.S. energy production, particularly natural gas. Late last month, an Associated Press article joined the lengthening parade of reports touting the growing acceptance and economic importance of this domestic fuel.
To be sure, the expansion of the natural gas supply, and consequent price drop that has made it unexpectedly affordable, are game-changers:
Natural gas reduces deadly air pollution because it burns far more cleanly than coal or oil. It is also more efficient.
Shifting the nation's fuel habit toward natural gas has the effect of shrinking U.S. dependence on foreign oil. (While our biggest source for that is now friendly Canada, the turbulent Middle East remains a significant player.)
The natural gas industry has become a job creator par excellence — and could attract other manufacturing jobs because of this available, affordable resource.
As welcome as natural gas growth is, however, Americans should recognize related realities.
Foremost among the caution flags is the potential for the gas-drilling technique of hydraulic fracturing to damage major sources of drinking water.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has undertaken a large study of hydraulic fracking, with a draft report due for release this month, reports The Washington Times.
Fracking, as it is known, is the process in which water, sand and chemicals are used to fragment underground rock, unleashing trapped oil and gas.
While the jury is still out on the environmental risks of fracking — with few confirmed cases of contamination — it is important to recognize that the industry faces other potential hurdles, as well.
For example, an analysis in the industry publication www.rigzone.com suggests that while gas reserves are vast, individual wells lose significant productivity after five years.
Despite the challenges, natural gas is gaining against oil. This is encouraging, but the industry and government should do three things:
Release a scientifically thorough report on the safety study of fracking and horizontal drilling, and make sure regulations reflect the findings.
Require full public disclosure of drilling risks (including chemicals used in the process) and rigorous approval regimens. They should tie best practices to local geological conditions and water supply.
Remember that even some of the staunchest proponents of natural gas consider it a transition fuel — not the ultimate answer. Do not allow the gas rush to sideline the need to develop clean, affordable, renewable energy.

Bentley defends health insurance decision
Federal health care act gave states option of creating exchange
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 11:28 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | Gov. Robert Bentley on Monday defended his decision against creating a state-based health insurance exchange.
Bentley once touted a state-based exchange, but he now says that state control appears to be a myth.
"The health insurance exchange they are talking about now is a state-based exchange in name only," Bentley said after a Capitol steps news conference.
A health insurance exchange is a clearinghouse where the uninsured can compare plans offering medical insurance. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, choices are state- or federal-based exchanges or a federal-state partnership.
On Friday, Bentley notified Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that he would not create a state-based health exchange or a state-federal partnership exchange because he said Alabama doesn't have the money to operate one. He estimated it would cost between $30 million and $50 million to operate an exchange.
That leaves a federal exchange, which Bentley said he believes cannot be set up.
"Personally, I don't think the federal government can come in and set up an exchange," Bentley said. "The way this (federal health care) law is written — 2,700 pages, 17,000 pages of regulations — it's an unworkable law. They have not consulted one single governor."
Since he once said he preferred a state exchange, Democrats accused Bentley of changing his mind for political purposes.
"He's flip-flopped," said House Minority Leader Craig Ford, D-Gadsden. "We aren't going to have any input."
"They're totally wrong," Bentley responded. "The difference is what I talked about is ... the Utah model, a free market exchange that allows more choice and has all these different plans and it's managed by the states, not the federal government."
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert is questioning how a federal exchange would work after last week's decision by Sebelius to extend the exchange decision deadline to Dec. 14.
"While I appreciate the extension of the federal deadline for states to determine an appropriate course regarding an insurance exchange, there remain far too many unanswered questions about the federal alternative," Herbert wrote Sebelius.
He asked how much would it cost the state, taxpayers and the private sector for Utah to participate in a federal exchange and what ensures that a federal exchange accurately incorporates all state-specific procedures and laws, according to the Deseret News.
Bentley attended a Republican Governors Association meeting last week, where some governors said they would resist the Affordable Care Act. Bentley said he believes half the states will not set up health insurance exchanges.
"Most of us not going to create one, so I decided to go ahead and make the announcement," Bentley said.
Bentley also defended his decision to not expand Medicaid as it now exists. A gubernatorial commission is researching alternatives.
Bentley said he prefers a Medicaid system that involves block grants to states, which then could decide how to run their programs.
"Block grants are what most conservatives states would like to see," Bentley said.

Oriental fire-bellied toad
Oriental fire-bellied toads are green with black-spotted warts and bright red bellies. The red coloring warns would-be predators that this toad's skin is poisonous. The milky substance secreted by their skin irritates the mouth and eyes of attackers.
These toads are highly aquatic and spend the majority of their time in slow-moving streams and ponds. They hibernate in the winter, generally choosing rotting logs or leaf piles as their burrow from September to May.
Tadpoles eat algae, fungi, and plants only, but adult Oriental red-bellied toads also feast on invertebrates, particularly worms, insects, and mollusks.
Between April and August, Oriental fire-bellied toads will mate and the females will lay large clutches of eggs at a time. They deposit their eggs in the water, where they become attached to rocks or other objects.

The Diamond girls basketball team brought home fifth place from the NEO Tournament after defeating Roland B (Okla.) 50-49 on Saturday.
Cady Littlefield was the star of the game for the Lady Wildcats as she not only led the team with 29 points, but also came up with some late game heroics to win it. With the Lady Wildcats trailing 49-47, Littlefield hit a shot at the buzzer to tie it, was fouled on the play and then stepped to the free throw line and sank the game-winner with no time on the clock to seal the victory.
Hanna Million finished with 13 points while Shayla Jones had four, Asia Mahan two and Macie Seward two.
The Lady Wildcats take on Southwest at 6 p.m. Monday.

Last summer, for example, we had a front page proclaiming fire danger and use limitations in the woods. While we were printing that issue, a week-long rain settled in and the limitations were lifted the same day we mailed 3,000 Char-Koostas saying otherwise. The same thing almost happened this year. The news of slightly tighter forest-use restrictions was greeted with three days of cold weather, a little rain, and even snow in the mountains. So far, however, the second batch of 1988 restrictions is still in place. But just to keep us insecure about journalism as a career, the federal government turns out to be as fickle as Montana's weather: The day the Sept. 14 issue hit the mail, we got a call that IHS' new eligibility rules, due to be implemented Sept. 16, have been delayed until Oct. 1,1989.

All of the debuts are fun and well played, though some of them still have a little maturing to do. Particularly, Rift and Maze have not yet come into their own. Each is a little slower than normal, which is fine (in fact, I really like Maze at the slower tempo), but each don't *feel* right. Their grooves are a little shaky and not in the pocket yet. Rift also has a nifty extra solo from Trey that is quite phenomenal. The other debut that is a different from "normal" is NICU, which is played over a different arrangement and has a nice Trey solo. MFMF and Sleeping Monkey were performed as they would be for years to come and the debut of Mound is the cleanest live performance I've heard of the song.
On to the non-debut parts of the show. Whenever I hear a Reba I haven't heard before I always like trying to guess what @TheEmu's rating of it is going to be on his nifty Reba jam chart. This is one of those cases where we disagree. I thought this was a pretty well played version in the composed section and the jam and was guessing an @TheEmu rating of around 9-10, but he said only 6.5 and commented that there was a lot of slop. Moral of the story? To each his own. He did rate the next two Reba's (3.11 and 3.12) in the 9-10 range, so I'll have to check those out to see what differences there are. The Bowie to end the first set is a real rager, one of the hotter type I versions I can think of.
Stash in the second set is pretty short and really raging. Same with Llama. This Possum with all of the secret language is fun too. Hearing the first language instructions in this show was a real treat. They were (and are, though they could do a lot more with the smaller crowds/venues of this era) such damn good entertainers. Honestly, despite some real musical highlights, listening to the secret language instructions was probably my favorite part of the show.
I'd say the solid playing, debuts of lots of classic material, and the first secret language instructions make this show required listening.

Chrysler Recalls Almost 745,000 Jeep Vehicles for Faulty Airbags
Building vehicles that sell in high volume is great, until you have to recall them.
Chrysler Group LLC said it will recall Jeep Liberty vehicles from the 2002 and 2003 model years, and Jeep Grand Cherokees from 2002 to 2004 to fix airbag problems that could result in inadvertent deployment of the bags and pretensioners that tighten the seat belts before a crash.
Chrysler said it had investigated reports of airbag problems with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and found flaws in a part called the occupant restraint control module. The resulting recall includes 744,822 vehicles.
NHTSA said in January that it was intensifying an investigation into the reported airbag problems.
"A design change to a supplied component was linked to a small number of inadvertent air bag deployments, and in keeping with the best interests of our customers, we initiated a recall campaign," says David Dillon, Chrysler Group's head of product investigations and campaigns.
Chrysler said it is unaware of any accidents resulting from the problem, though there were a few cases of sudden, unexpected airbag deployments. The car maker said the incidents accounted for "less than three one-hundredths of one percent (0.03 percent) of the subject vehicles."
Under the recall dealers will install filters to correct the malady with control modules.

140 is so much, do you think it's worth the headset?
Voted no,
it's 105$ it seems now?
Anyway, what does such a expensive headset add to your game? not much i think. i do have an pretty expensive mouse, but thats because i play fps and the extra buttons on them are nice.
Yeah, but i'm buying it on Amazon germany, so I'll have to pay 140.
I don't know what it adds to games but I definitely want a wireless headset which will hold for some time and has good quality. Maybe you can suggest me another?
I want to do later with battlefield 3 pro gaming (lol) so maybe the headset will give me some advantage against others?
Infact, i need a headset aswell. but i probably just get one for 50$, should do fine. not sure if you have wireless ones for that price
Why do you want wireless? It's not for a playstation or xbox, so a cable isn't that bad. And you save a lot of money!
I think it's absoluteley worth the 140 dollar, but I wouldn't buy it myself as it is not necessary!
No force is great enough to overpower the speed of adjustment.
In game name: thoraq
Steam name: thoraq0
I told ya buddy, it Pwns. Period. I've probably had like 8-10 headsets. This is by far my favorite eVaR! I recommend. One really cool part is all the controls and adjustments are so easily accessible on the left earpiece, it's the most convenient headset I've owned.
And the wireless part friggin PWNSSS DooD! Srsly man I can like go take a huge dump on the poop pot while I'm in vent with Alcarin n Swift n LagMaster n Tigga and then totally laugh at them in secret cuz they dunno I brought em with me.... Ker Plunk! Hahahahahahaah

Hail to the King
I had Turtle Beach X11's they are good, designed for the 360 but work perfectly well with PC. Ive got X31's now there are really good but I had to buy extra stuff to make them work with PC.
Anyway X11's are only like £40 dunno how many Euros that is.
The price keeps going down, first 160 then 140 and now 120. Maybe I should buy it soon before the price jumps up again^^
No, Hey I need a ruse. BZZZZZ bzzzzzzzz. HELLO give me a damn radio silence BBBBzzzzzzzz BBBBBBzzzzzzzzz. Wish I had a wired one.

Sullivan & Son is the edgy new Irish American comedy garnering a growing audience on Thursday nights on the TBS channel. Cahir O'Doherty talks to Steve Byrne, the brilliant Korean Irish comedian behind it about his unique background, his acidly funny new show and the U.S. comedy tour he's headlining to support it.
In Sullivan & Son, Irish Korean comedian Steve Byrne, 37, plays Steve Sullivan, a successful corporate attorney from New York who brings his girlfriend Ashley home for his father's 60th birthday.
It turns out his timing is perfect as he learns that his Irish American father Jack Sullivan and his Korean mother Ok Cha are preparing to sell the family business, a bar known as Sullivan & Son. It's the perfect opportunity for a man looking to make a major change his life. It was also a major case of art imitating life.
"I was travelling on the road for so much of the time as a standup comedian," Byrne confesses to the Irish Voice, after his gig at the Gotham Comedy Club on Sunday night.
"I was working 50 weeks a year for like seven years. I was living out of a suitcase the whole time."
That's when actor and fellow comedian Vince Vaughn, who shares Irish roots, stepped in and insisted that Byrne takes his celebrity status to the next level via his own situation comedy.
"Vince Vaughn and I have been friends for a long time and he kept telling me you should write something for yourself," Byrne explains.
"I said I had never written anything like a major show before. I said to him I do standup, I do jokes."
But Vaughan insisted. "He just said you can do it, and I said I don't know how. He said, you can do it. I said okay, I guess I'll just try."
Byrne went out and bought a bunch of screenplay books. He read them for months.
"I was like a kid in college. I just read every night after I did my shows. I had note books where I wrote down everything I thought of," he said.
First Byrne asked himself, in an ideal world what he would like to do right at that moment? The answer was that he would like to go home and be with his friends and family. No more nomadic comedian's life. It was a desire for stability.
That's also why he made the character he plays in the show work at the most mundane job in the world -- he's a corporate attorney.
"I just thought if I'm going to write a situation comedy about something, I'm going to write about something I know," he explains.
So he spent months writing the pilot with help from two other major league Hollywood producers.
"When I turned in the pilot script to Vince he said it was pretty good and that we should meet with more writers. I met with Rob Long (a screenwriter and executive producer for the long-running television program Cheers) and we got along right off the bat," said Byrne.
"Then I met with producer Peter Billingsley (another Hollywood heavyweight) and we went off to the races. Rob and I really worked on the pilot together and that's how it all came about."
Byrne's whole career as a comedian has been marked by risk taking, as anyone who has seen his standup act can confirm. On stage he's an edgy, fast thinking performer who leads his audiences into every kind of social danger zone and manages to stay very far ahead of their reactions at all times.
"I like taking chances," he explains. "I like taking risks and seeing what happens. I like sticking with my act too.
"There are times when if I'm the fifth guy up and all the other comedians have talked about views and relationships, it's nice for me to spice it up. I like to jump into the audience and kind of talk."
Some of the things he gets into on stage are based on what he rehearsed, but there's an edge to his show, and there's a shocking level of honesty.
"Maybe it's too honest sometimes, but that's what makes it funny, as well as all the uncomfortableness that can spread around as you do it. I enjoy it though. I like doing anything against the fold," he says.
One of the most original aspects of Sullivan & Son is the genuinely funny east meets west banter between Byrne's onscreen mother (played by the note perfect Jodi Long) and her many victims in the bar. Long adds a whole new dimension to the melting pot by reminding us that not everyone really wants to melt.
"My original family is from Co. Wicklow," Byrne explains. "My great grandfather came over from Ellis Island and switched his surname from O'Byrne to just Byrne. On my father's side everyone was in the military except for me.
"My father was stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War where he met my mother and they got hitched. They lived in Minnesota for two years and then moved to New Jersey, and I was born the year they moved."
