Spring has sprung. Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, the sap in the trees is rising and love is in the air. And in the yearly round of the zodiac the sign of Virgo gives way to that of Libra at the Spring Equinox, which occurs this year at 1:10 pm on Thursday the 23rd of September, closely followed by a rising Full Moon in Aries which peaks in the early evening at 7:19 pm. A perfect time to make or renew a vow of love, or to cast a spell of white magic to attract a beloved into your life who is just right for you.
And by a fascinating quirk of synchronicity or serendipity, this year the Sun's transit of Libra both begins and ends with a second Full Moon in Aries, a so-called 'Blue Moon', exact at 12:37 pm on Saturday the 23rd of October, just before the Sun's transit into Scorpio at 11:36 pm that very same night. A perfect time for a night of romantic passion, or to bring out the crystal ball and delve into the mysteries of fate and destiny!
Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, and relating. Her delight is to join lovers together in body, heart and soul, and, at her highest and best, to evoke the peace that passes all understanding, within and without.

Minneapolis, Minnesota
Minneapolis is the largest city in the U.S. state of Minnesota and is the county seat of Hennepin County. The city lies on both banks of the Mississippi River, just north of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Saint Paul, the state's capital. Known as the Twin Cities, these two form the core of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
The city is abundantly rich in water with over twenty lakes and wetlands, the Mississippi river, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway. Minneapolis was once the world's flour milling capital and a hub for timber, and today is the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle. Named America's most literate city, Minneapolis has cultural organizations that draw creative people and audiences to the city for theater, visual art, writing, and music. The community's diverse population has a long tradition of charitable support through progressive public social programs and through private and corporate philanthropy.

No Tech on Gerald Green?? Hmm, strange.
Green tried everything he could to get a 3 up, but great job by Collison to recognize and forced him to travel.
They can't stop BG!!! Let's go!!! He had a weird start but he's back for blood!!!
And we broke d Wilkins franchise record for consecutive games with 20+ points !! #MVP
Great Defense By Darren. My props go to him! He has had to guard Harden and Green while being undersized. LETS GO CLIPPERS
The last two games Collison has been playing great D in the 4th qtr.
Lets just get a score here and not worry about all the lucky **** they Suns are getting.
I don't think chris should be taking shots this game. Go to matt or darren
Damn! Cp we needed that. Lets get a stop now.
DJ nice challenge on Morris, then gobbles up the rebound.
Man, CP3 has not at all shown that clutch gene this year! Hope he can prove me wrong.
Under 50 seconds left and Clippers are up by 5. Arggghhhh , Suns are still too close for this to be an easy win.
Really wish we'd just hit that Lawler's law cushion.
This is a PO like game,_Phoenix is dangerous with Ebled playing.
Great block by DJ!
Wow, big time block by DJ!!!
Great D by both Blake and then Jordan with the Block.
WHO BLOCKED THAT? Whoever that was THANK YOU!
E: Jordan with the SWAT!
great block by DJ.
Jordan another defensive gem as he rejects Dragic. Now let's see if he can hit some FT's.
How was that block for all the people bashing DJ?
That was a big time block! Hopefully he can be taught how to box out consistently I think we would all be happy then hahaha
If only DJ could make crucial plays like this all game.
Clutch dj!
DJ with two big fts
DJ with the redemption block and free throws!
There is the law! Clutch free throws by DJ, as usual
CP with clutch free throws...no wait. DJ with CLUTCH free throws!!!
CLUTCH FT's by DJ, Lawler's Law in effect.
Clutch free throws by DJ! Up by 7 now.
DJ so clutch!
Did they just let Len sub in before the FIRST freethrow? Do these refs not know their **** or something?
Morris fouled out
Still thought you had to wait til in between free-throws. My bad
Notice once we stopped those dumbass turnovers we establish the correct flow...coincidence? I think not!
CP makes his free throws to pad the lead.
funny you guys are scared of a team that is not even going to make the playoffs.
Lmaoooo. DJ shoulda threw one down on that lob from Barnes after the foul.
Good win!
Phew!!! Great win by the Clippers!! I can relax now, lol.
I'm just happy with the win...without Matt I think we lose and DC.
Outside of that horrible second quarter, great win!
Great win! How many free throws did blake miss? So odd. Kudos to matt, i
Happy for him. Hopefully he can sustain this through post season. Looking forward to seeing more of granger on Thursday. Need baby to settle down a bit
When your "superstars" do not have it at the beginning, it is a good sign to see the "others" step up. Kudos to the team for their D and Matt and Collison with huge games.
There is no doubt that this was a great win! Should help our playoff cause.
Great comeback win right there.
Good win. Suspect reffing and just a poor second quarter, but we fought through it all. Signs of a championship caliber team. The one issue I have with Phoenix is that they are comprised of like 80% scrubs.... scrubs love to light us up, that is the only concern I have with that team.
Nice win. Barnes definitely helped in this one
Terrible mentality. Great teams have many weapons and even though unexpected, it is still very possible for someone to go off and have a great night. They are not the only reason we won, just a bigger contributor. We have to kill any of this negative talks if we expect our team to even make it to the finals.
Same way green almost brought back the game for the suns with that ridiculous lucky BS 3 point fadeaway, it just happens.
This is truly a sign of a championship-caliber team. Clippers came from behind, regained their composure, locked down on their D, and made crucial baskets. Big win tonight.
DJ played great down the stretch. My confidence in him is building each game. Let's hope he can keep this up going into the playoffs.

http://fullyclips.com/2014/03/19/jamal- ... -man-role/
Interesting take on Jamal's career as a sixth man. I don't know if he has the work ethic necessary to start. I remember when we signed him and that season he said he has never worked out.
He has the skills to start on any NBA team, but a coach wants to get the whole starting unit working together, not scoring in isolation. Besides, it's not about who starts games, but who finishes them... and Jamal is on the floor in crunch-time more often than not. A championship ring would do more for his legacy than any number in the "GS" column.
I think a championship is definitely the ultimate, but there are smaller individual feats that define players more. Like if Vince Carter ever wins a ring, he'll be known first as a slam dunk champion and then an NBA champion. Can't sleep on those individual accolades.
Yeah, but do you really want to be like Antawn Jamison. Hall of fame stats with no ring.
This suggestion is bogus, you telling me Manu Ginobli's career is gonna be stifled cause he comes off the bench?
Jamal could start but its not even about starting really as I mentioned earlier this year its about age,career longevity, and stamina. If jamal starts his minutes tend to spike and at 34 he could easily play 3 more seasons at this level if his minutes are monitored.
It has nothing to do with isolations he is proven by now that he can score in every imaginable way and it ain't about defense either as throughout this season his Def. rating has been ,
Nov 104
Dec 105
Jan 101
Feb 105
for the year he is at 102.8 while james Hardens is 102.3.
let me add that I'm not saying jamal is better or even as good harden but he has given this team top ten sg in the league play whether he has started or come of the bench. that is why I think he should win 6th man this year not simply because he is having a good year for a bench player like some of the other guys but because Jamal has been one of the best players at his position this year. He Is even gotten better defensively in Doc's system this year which most thought was impossible
I don't believe Manu has always come off the bench.
The role of 6th man is arguably more important than that of an average starter. I fail to see how this stifles Crawford's career at all. Its not like he was an All Star.

i just have to tell you how much i loved the whale story.
i'm very happy to return and find you here, querido.
do you know i'm living in africa now????
You are in Africa!! Fantastic!! It is so good to hear from you. It took
me a while to figure out how to get back on the board.
And in your honor:

Dear James Randi,
I am writing to you in regard to your offer of $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate, under proper conditions of scientific trial, paranormal abilities. I deeply admire your policy of holding those who claim to possess supernatural powers to the rigorous standards of scientific inquiry and rational thought by working with these claimants to develop a preliminary, and then a formal, test of those abilities.
The warning, posted so ominously (and, dare I say, smugly) on your website, that "no one has ever passed the preliminary tests" only deepens my conviction to be the first.
Delightfully, I have not only a love for the scientific method but also a demonstrable paranormal skill! I have the ability to control men's minds with my vagina.
To test the claim that I can control men's minds with my vagina, I propose the following experiment:
A statistically significant even number of volunteers will be recruited to participate in the test. Volunteers should be male, heterosexual, and unknown to me, and should have at least $5 on their person. Each volunteer will be assigned to a group: "vagina" or "no vagina."
In every trial, the volunteer will be seated within a short walking distance of a hamburger stand. Volunteers in the "vagina" group will also be seated within a short walking distance of my vagina. Volunteers in the "no vagina" group will have a leaden wall placed between them and my vagina. To ensure that the "no vagina" group is not motivated by even the suggestion of my vagina, I will not be seen by them, and my voice will be conveyed only through a voice-altering device that masks my gender.
For each trial, I will ask the volunteer if he will buy me a hamburger.
I predict that volunteers in visual proximity of my vagina will be at least 50 percent more likely to comply than those separated from my vagina by a leaden barrier.
I think you will agree that mind control of any kind is certainly a paranormal phenomenon, and that this proposal represents a fair test of my ability to control men's minds with my vagina.
As anecdotal evidence—which I am aware is not sufficient for your challenge but seems apropos in an introductory note such as this—I have previously obtained a number of hamburgers in this manner.
Jennifer Dziura
P.S. With fries!

First, your subject line -- "MIT Confirms: Al Gore Is Wrong" -- is a lie. MIT confirms no such thing, unless you believe an op-ed piece by a single professor represents the official view of MIT.
Second, it's interesting that in 2001 Lindzen was on a panel of scientists that wrote the paper Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions that concluded "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise."
So in a scientific paper he agrees with other scientists that greenhouse gases occur because of human activity but in an op-ed piece he denies it.
Next, Lindzen notes: More recently, a study in the journal Science by the social scientist Nancy Oreskes claimed that a search of the ISI Web of Knowledge Database...
Um, her name is Naomi Oreskes. Glad to see Lindzen carefully checks his facts. And here's what Ms. Oreskes had to say about GW in an article she published in the Washington Post, titled Undeniable Global Warming:
Many people have the impression that there is significant scientific disagreement about global climate change. It's time to lay that misapprehension to rest. There is a scientific consensus on the fact that Earth's climate is heating up and human activities are part of the reason. We need to stop repeating nonsense about the uncertainty of global warming and start talking seriously about the right approach to address it.
The scientific consensus is clearly expressed in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Program, the IPCC is charged with evaluating the state of climate science as a basis for informed policy action. In its most recent assessment, the IPCC states unequivocally that the consensus of scientific opinion is that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities: "Human activities . . . are modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents . . . that absorb or scatter radiant energy. . . . [M]ost of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations."
Benny Peiser was mentioned in the op-ed in relation to the Oreskes study, but...
1. Peizer misunderstands the point of Oreskes study. The point was not that every article about climate change explicitly endorsed the IPCC conclusions. The point is that if there was real uncertainty there would be "substantive disagreement in the scientific community" that would be reflected in peer reviewed literature. There wasn't.
2. Peiser didn't find any peer reviewed studies that oppose the scientific consensus. Peiser claimed that 34 papers "reject or doubt" the consensus view. Tim Lambert got Peiser to send him the abstracts of those 34 papers. The vast majority of these papers express no doubt whatsoever about the consensus view. Only one paper, by the Association of Petroleum Geologists, cited by Peiser actually rejects the consensus view and it "does not appear to have been peer reviewed outside that Association."
In short, Peiser's analysis was in error and he has since admitted that his work included errors.
Peiser's opinions have been debunked and refuted in the scientific community as well...
We therefore conclude that none of these issues raised by Benny Peiser have much, if any, implication for the consensus on the principal climate debate issue: the impact of anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
I could go on but to what end? Lindzen has written an op-ed piece that is long on opinion and short on fact.

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada
has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols
to stop the illegal immigration.
The actions of President Bush are prompting the exodus among
left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray,
and agree with Bill O'Reilly.
Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology
professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields
at night.
"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood
producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield,
whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted
and hungry. "He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range
chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left.
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher
fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers
that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields.
"Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through, and Rush
annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk."
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals
near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive
them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.
"A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an
Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a drop of
drinking water. "They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet,
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often
wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives.
Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing
re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic
beer and watch NASCAR races.
In recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of
crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus
trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a
half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration
authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed
senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney hits to
prove they were alive in the '50s.
"If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show,
we get suspicious about their age," an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are
creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan
Sarandon movies.
"I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't
support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors
does one country need?"
In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice
President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that
the administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close
to Cheney said. We're going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts.
And we might put some endangered species on postage stamps. The
President is determined to reach out," he said.

HOLY BIBLE Romans 1:25-27
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

What the fuck is wrong with people?
"Christ said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (John 7:37-38) Of course, Jesus is talking metaphorically about living water in this case; if a man literally drank the living water of Christ, that would make him gay."
Christ, some people...

Before claiming that there is too much "anti-Christian bias" in America, maybe Christians should consider for a moment what it would be like if there were as much bias against them as there is against Atheists in the US. I wonder if they could imagine living in this kind of country:
Both major political parties are overwhelmingly dominated by Atheists, as are all government positions, from local to state to federal, judges included.
On Sunday mornings, radio and television stations across the country broadcast pro-atheist shows, while it is impossible to find religious programming. Atheists have several cable networks exclusively devoted to anti-religious programming, while there are no religious networks.
During the 1988 election campaign, George Bush said that Christians should not be considered patriots, or real American citizens.
Bill Clinton steadfastly refused to give any speeches at any churches.
Many major newspapers run a special weekly section devoted to atheism. There are no equivalent sections for religious news.
Atheist meeting centers are located every few blocks in every corner of the country. Meanwhile, churches are very rare.
Jurors are asked to swear an oath on a copy of the Skeptical Inquirer before they can serve. In addition, the President of the United states swears to Atheist beliefs when he takes office.
There has never been a religious President, and polling indicates that Americans vehemently oppose any Christian holding this office.
All of our money has the Atheist slogan "We trust in man, not God" on it.
In school, our children are asked to pledge to "one nation, anti-God, indivisible".
Every hotel room you have ever been in, provides you with a copy of Nietzsche's "The Anti-Christ". None have bibles.
If you or your children believe in God, you are not allowed to join the Boy Scouts.
Atheist organizations are not taxed, but you are.
Popular culture considers you to be an immoral person, and many even consider you to be "evil", just because you believe in God.
Atheists often proudly declare their disbelief of God in public, especially Athletes and award winners. Politicians consider it essential for winning elections. This is considered to be a positive thing. If any Christian declares their belief in God, it is considered argumenative, negative, aggressive, and spiteful.
Atheists constantly cite, out of context, books of philosophy by noted Atheists to prove that Christians live irrational lives, devoid of morality.
Atheist charities often force the needy who come to them for help to listen to Atheist propaganda before they recieve help.
U.S. Atheist organizations send missionaries to underdeveloped countries to convince people to renounce long-held local religious beliefs and become Atheists.
All prisons have a resident atheist philosopher, and inmates are encouraged to participate in weekly philophical dicussions on Bible Contradictions. This is often reported to parole board, who consider it a good indication of contritenes on the prisoner's part.
Atheists stand in the parking lot of your grocery store and try getting you to accept their anti-God propaganda leaflets.
Even though you ignore them, they come to your house and leave it on your porch.
You might try to ignore it, but then they come by periodically and knock on your door just to tell you your belief in God is wrong, and that Atheism is the only true way for you to live.

Fisting and God's Will: "In the Song of Solomon, the Bible describes the act of fisting and the profound erotic bliss it induces: 'It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, "Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one"…My love thrust his hand through the opening, and my feelings were stirred for him.' (Song of Solomon 5:2-4) Here we see the lover gently coaxing his companion to open up to him . . ."
Don't miss the Readers' Questions page: "You f*****g idiots. . . . Christ's "living water" was not referring to semen, you f*****g a**holes. He was referring to spiritual enlightenment."

Oh. My. God?
True story - it's on Reuters, from yesterday.
Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God
Mon Jun 5, 2006 8:31am ET13
KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday.
"The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.
"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."
The incident, Sunday evening when the zoo was packed with visitors, was the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks.
I hate to be the one to say it...
...but I guess that answers that question.

Middle Age
-A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Upon seeing God, she asked, "Is my time up?"
God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."
Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair colour. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.
While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years! Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?"
God replied, "I didn't recognize you..."

Some new businesses opened and others closed their doors for good this year throughout the Aiken area. Other businesses have recently announced plans to locate in the city or county and those projects are currently under way. Here's a review of several business happenings in 2012 and what to expect in 2013.
Opened in 2012
Apizza di Napoli
Owned by Cliff and Wanda Garzzillo, Apizza di Napoli opened in the Centre South Shopping Center on Silver Bluff Road this year.
The restaurant holds a certification of True Authentic Neapolitan Pizza from the VPN Association in Naples, Italy, using the guidelines set out by the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association.
The dough is made fresh daily, and Apizza di Napoli uses San Marzano tomatoes, which according to its website, come from the base of Mount Vesuvius in Naples.
Swamp Fox
Swamp Fox opened on Chesterfield Street in the old Olive Oil's building this year.
Located across the street from the Aiken County Courthouse, Swamp Fox bills itself as a fine Southern cuisine restaurant.
The restaurant's name honors Revolutionary War militia leader Francis Marion, who was nicknamed the "Swamp Fox" for leading a band of fighters through the low- and back-country swamps against British troops.
Cracker Barrel
Cracker Barrel Restaurant and Country Store opened its doors on Jan. 30 and has kept busy since then, as it was highly anticipated by residents who waited several years for the eatery to come to Aiken.
Located at 2634 Whiskey Road, the construction of the restaurant was given the official thumbs up by City Council on December 2010. Construction began in late August of 2011.
The business brought approximately 185 jobs to Aiken.
LaDolce, a downtown cafe, opened on Nov. 29 and is run by Executive Pastry Chef Kirstie MacVean and her mother, Tea Master Lady Kelly MacVean.
This new business offers gourmet desserts, including wedding cakes. It also offers a variety of coffee drinks and teas.
LaDolce is located at 123 Laurens St.
Betsy's on the Corner
Betsy's on the Corner opened for business over the summer. Owned and managed by Betsy Simons, this eatery offers a wide range of main dishes and desserts.
The business is located in the space once occupied by Maxine's in downtown Aiken and has been completely transformed to resemble an old-fashioned soda parlor.
Betsy's On the Corner is located at 159 Laurens St. N.W.
In Progress in 2012
The Fresh Market
Work has been under way for several months at the site of The Fresh Market in the South Park Shopping Center on Whiskey Road. There is no word yet on when the specialty grocery will open; the company's website still only lists the store as "coming soon."
The Fresh Market will be the anchor store in the shopping center at around 19,000 square feet. There are other retail spaces on either side ranging from 900 to 1,440 square feet.
Halvorsen Holdings, which operates the shopping center, has not listed any other tenants for the strip.
The shopping center's concept plan shows renovations would add varying elevations to the building, painted in earthy hues. Thomas Vincent, president of Halvorsen Holdings, has said the hope is to give that area a more downtown look and feel.
Applications are being accepted online for deli, meat and produce managers.
For more information on becoming a new employee, visit careers.thefreshmarket.com.
Sam's Club
Sam's Club, currently in the early phase of construction on the Westside of Aiken, should be opening in 2013 at the corner of Robert M. Bell Parkway and Highway 1.
One of the largest retail constructions in the area, the membership-only retail warehouse club owned and operated by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. hopes to have its doors open in around a year's time, according to the company.
Plans for the store show an approximately 139,000-square-foot wholesale warehouse and a six-pump gas station. The site will be accessed from two entrances with dedicated turning lanes. These changes to the roadway are now visible to motorists on Highway 1.
Figures released by the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer estimated 150 to 175 new jobs will be created by the facility once it is in operation. These positions should start to be advertised by late summer or fall.
Staybridge Suites and Holiday Inn Express
Recently approved by City Council in December, these two hotels will be constructed on a plot of land located on Whiskey Road adjacent to Stratford Drive. They will be owned and operated by Naman Hotels.
The Holiday Inn Express would be a four-story, 55,072-square-foot building that would include 95 rooms and parking spots. It will not include a restaurant or meeting place. Staybridge Suites will be 68,115 square feet with 90 rooms, 115 parking spaces and a 600-square-foot meeting room. There will be no restaurant in that hotel.
The hotels are projected to have an economic impact of approximately $30 million and will create around 100 jobs.
The Marriott Towneplace Suites
Construction continues on this hotel located off Whiskey Road on Monterey Road. The hotel was approved in July 2011 and the groundbreaking ceremony was held this June.
Hotel co-owner Neel Shah of NMR Sycamore said the four-story facility will include an outdoor pool, guest laundry, an exercise room, free breakfast and 85 large studio rooms.
Approximately 20 to 25 jobs will be created by this hotel.
Academy Sports
Academy Sports announced in August that it plans to open a store in Aiken. The sporting goods store will locate in Hitchcock Plaza off Silver Bluff Road where the Stein Mart was formerly located.
Academy offers athletic and casual clothes and footwear as well as a large selection of sporting equipment, according to its website. It's projected that the store will be ready to open by the summer of 2013.
Visit www.academy.com for more information on this retailer.
Closed in 2012
Blockbuster closed its doors early this year after months of speculation that the location on Pine Log Road would shutter its doors.
Hundreds of Blockbuster stores throughout the nation stopped renting and selling movies and video games and closed their doors following the company's filing for bankruptcy in September 2010. The company was auctioned off and sold to Dish Network for a reported $320 million, and, while many stores remained open, many also closed.
The Mexican restaurant on Whiskey Road closed this year. Several calls to the property's leasing company were not returned.
Ryan's on Whiskey Road closed in March as part of a bankruptcy restructuring plan.
The Aiken location was one of 83 under performing restaurants owned by parent company Buffets Inc. that have closed or will close to "strengthen the company's portfolio and position the company for profitable growth" in the wake of a Chapter 11 filing, according to the company.
Ryan's was originally located across Whiskey Road in what is now Millbrook Baptist Church's youth center known as The Rock. Millbrook acquired the building in 2000 when Ryan's relocated.
Fred's closed its South Park Shopping Center location in July to make way for The Fresh Market.
South Park Shopping Center has emptied out by degrees over the past year. Aaron's and the Goodwill Emporium relocated in 2011, and Acceptance Insurance relocated this year. There is no word on the future of Roma Pizza & Restaurant, which closed once construction work began at the site.

S.C. Sen. Tom Young, R-Aiken, discussed the bills passed during this year's legislative session and the issues that will be among the General Assembly's future priorities during a luncheon on Thursday. The Republican spoke during a meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Aiken at Cumberland Village.
"One of the things we did this session is we made a step in the right direction toward addressing our infrastructure needs in the state," Young said. "We were able to come up with $600 million to repair and improve roads and bridges."
Some of that money will be used to widen a portion of Interstate 20 between Columbia and Aiken to six lanes from four.
"There is a $50 million one-time allocation for bridge repairs, and there are four bridges in Aiken County that should receive some of that funding," Young said.
But over the next 20 years, the projections show that the state will have $29 billion in infrastructure needs, and raising the South Carolina's gas tax is a possibility, he said.
"We have to sit down and look at the revenue that we currently have, how it is being spent and how we are going to meet those needs with the existing revenue stream," Young said. "It is going to be very difficult to do that without having some discussion about the current gas tax."
South Carolina's gas tax, which is officially known as the motor fuel user fee, is 16 cents per gallon. The amount is among the lowest in the country. The Palmetto State also has an inspection fee of $.0025 and an environmental impact fee of $.0050 for all petroleum products.
"I've been trying to get feedback from my constituents (in District 24) on what their position would be if the General Assembly was to increase the gas tax by three cents, four cents, five cents or whatever it might be and have it (the money) go solely to road and bridge improvements," Young said. "The (S.C.) Department of Transportation has said we need at least $600 million a year in new money to address these needs – not existing money, but new money."
Other big issues during 2014's legislative session, according to Young, will include ethics reform, early voting, "further restructuring of state government," school funding reform and the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, which was rejected this year.
Drug testing for people who receive unemployment benefits and other assistance probably will be another important topic for the General Assembly, Young said. A texting while driving ban also could be considered.
South Carolina and Montana are the only two states in the nation that have not passed any sort of legislation to regulate the use of electronic devices in cars. However, some cities and towns in South Carolina have banned texting while driving.

In this game, and especially the Spurs game, there were at least a dozen situations where he doesn't shoot for 3 while no defenders were 6 feet from him.
Brad Turner @BA_Turner 39m
Chris Paul has sprained right thumb. "I can't catch a break," CP said. He missed 18 games with separated right shoulder
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi 38m
Chris Paul sprained his right thumb late in the game reaching for the ball with Marc Gasol. He was staring at it in the locker room
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi 23m
Chris Paul will be re-evaluated tomorrow but is not expected to miss any time.
Oh man. Poor CP. I hope his thumb gets better soon. That can be annoying as heck.
Memphis went under the screens to negate the pick and roll, they ran it enough, don't want to do Vinny offense where it is just pick and roll also.
This season is done - we aren't strong or quick enough.
I've never seen Memphis score this easily on any other team
Not really, part of running it is executing it. But it should be utilized with Deandre more as well. What killed us was having Dudley, Hedo, and Bullock in together. All of them sit on the outside and don't move around. The. On defense Turkoglu played matador and Dudley wasn't much better. Out p&r defense is horrible. Actually all of our defense against screens is terrible.
Tonight, the Clippers really shot themselves in the foot, missing *16* free throws combined. If they had made a couple more- this could have been a different outcome. Blake battled hard out there and had a very good game, though you wish he would have made a couple more FT's & made one of a couple of easy shots near the rim that missed. CP3 played so much better than vs the Spurs. He didn't hesitate shooting his jumpers which was great, but too bad he didn't make more of the shots he would normally make. DeAndre Jordan- not a good game as he just wasn't as sharp as he needed to be, giving up key offensive rebounds late in the game, & of course the 1 for 5 FT's hurt the team.
Crawford and Barnes had nice performances as they were active on both ends of the floor and helped carry the scoring load. Unfortunately, the bench got badly outplayed again. The Clippers were up be 6 or so early in the second quarter, but the second unit just could not keep up with the speed & athleticism of the Memphis bench. James Johnson really energized and hurt the Clippers. The guy looked like an All-Star out there. And from that point, the Clippers had to play catch up. It was a valiant effort to come back at the end, but just couldn't overcome again the poor FT shooting & lackluster bench.
The Clipper bench guys combined for 1-10 FG's & 3 rebounds in ~48 minutes. That is simply not going to get it done.
It's honestly inexcusable how poorly they play on the road for an elite level team (14-15). If we do not secure home court in at least in the first round we are going to be royally F'd.
Damn CP hurt again, not expected to miss anytime but man he is so injury prone
That Is what happens when you bring in a bunch of old farts/shooters into a team, they are passive and to easy to defend hence why we need an athletic wing so desperately. Someone that can put more pressure on the defense, put the ball on the floor get into the paint and create good offensive plays for himself or others, we just don't have such a player on the team right now.
Poor free throw shooting. bench jacking up and missing threes
I am annoyed that we make a crap
Offensive team look like the spurs. How come we seem to be the only team that cannot defend Memphis? They either score or get to the line on every trip. What is happening? I'm not that impressed that DOc hasn't made a difference in this matchup.
Evan turner would have fit that very well. The idea of having three players just sit on the perimeter doesn't work if our bigs aren't attacking the rim and being set up by other players.
I don't know what not really means. Do you mean they didn't run it enough, or?
Paul's outside jump-shot isn't crisp right now. Memphis was playing under and playing contain on the pick and roll with the idea of we'll give up the 20 foot jumper and if Paul hits it, that's life, he's a good player if not, we're good, but we'd rather keep him out of the lane and close rolling lanes from Blake. Paul obviously isn't hitting or super willing to take those shots at the moment.
Ding ding! Now, this wasn't their best offensive game as they killed the Knicks, but the Knicks are terrible. I said it in the other thread. As a supposedly above average offense, we shouldn't let Memphis score above their season offensive efficacy against us, they did.
In the last 6 games, only us and the Knicks allowed that. I believe 3 of the other 4 teams held them under 1 pt/possession, so we still need to defend. Now, regular season wise, I won't get too worried. Why? During the regular season, you don't want to tailor your system to each team you play, every game. You want to try and install and re-in force your system and identity, so you take some losses where you aren't adjusting your game plan because of that.
Vinny did the constant adjustment, which is why Blake complained that the defense was constantly changing. There's no baseline defensive principle when you do that, and you don't develop the defensive chemistry you need.
In the post-season when you play someone over Andover, then you change it. So in the post-season, I would expect to blitz Randolph off the move. So as soon as he puts the ball on the floor. send a second defender, it makes him flustered and much less effective.
If you really paid attention in last night game its a no brainer how we lost
So it was a back and fourth game, suppose to come down to the wire, and all of a sudden MR AMAZING aka doc rivers, ruined it again
6 mins in the 3rd he decided to put Turkaboo along side Dudley!!!!!!! and all of a sudden connely makes 3 layups in a row and we could not score, went down by 10 or 12
whats the lesson learned here????
and sorry i havent been here for a while, WHY THE HELL ISNT THERE A WAIVE TURKABOO THREAD
FTs are we we lost. Move on.
i second this
lol what the hell??
sorry i don't sit in my basement in the dark and write about the clips all day
something needs to be said about u everydayers, just because u don't have a life doesn't mean u own what u can say about the clippers
20 years season ticket holder, you should come to the games!!! its more fun kyle
I live 16 miles from Staples and it ain't so easy to get there from here either, especially on weekdays.
You live in SOCAL and have a basement? NOt the place to hide from earthquakes.
Rotations do need to be tweaked some I putting all five of our best players on the floor starting games no longer works. Its a passive and aggressive type thing that needs to be better balanced with Barnes and Crawford helping the second unit along Turk and Hollins. Can use a Reggie and Jared starting wings to see if we can open spacing and get our bigs and Paul going early.
Turkoglu was really bad last night, he was -14 only 7 minutes. He was doing really bad defending the pick and roll and Memphis went right at him. Even Dudley's run out as a small ball PF at the end of the first half when Griffin was in foul trouble was much better than what we got from Turkoglu. I assume we will sign Davis or someone else in the next week or two and Turkoglu won't play much anymore.
Whoa- your second post and you are already violating the site rules with a personal attack. Normally that would mean a ban for a newbie, but I'll let you pass with an official warning this time.
^ He'll get his 4th (or is it 5th?) ban soon enough.
Clippyclap, IIRC. Same guy who trolled Joe, then me. Looks like he's found a new target. And he claims other people don't have a life.
^^You're right Cleepers- further investigations shows that he is the the same user from quite a few banned accounts. Bans are permanent, so bye-bye nomercyclipps, and please don't come back.
Somehow Charlotte can beat these guys and we can't... SMH.
^ If we'd shot 89% from the line like Charlotte did, we'd have beaten them too. No mystery there.
So Charlotte beat Memphis tonight --- it just goes to show that at any given night, any NBA team, no matter how good they've been playing, can be beaten. As Doc and other Clippers have often said, this is the NBA, full of professional players. A win is no sure thing when you've got guys playing at this level. Memphis was on a second night of a back-to-back too so there is that consideration for their loss. Like I said earlier, time to move on from the Clippers' loss to the Grizzlies and try to beat OKC tomorrow.
This is a good sports-fan mentality. I just want to point out that most of the time when you watch other teams play us, then play a different team, you'll notice that they rarely bring the same kind of energy and determination; I bet James Johnson didn't go off on Charlotte like he did us? I bet Zbo didn't lock arms with Biyombo every time up the floor like he does with Blake. It's something that's a little frustrating for me as a Clippers fan, but only through adversity do we succeed. On another note, look for everyone to come out strong against OKC.
Let me just make an observation CLIPPERS SUCK! right now, we haven't beat any team of worth since last year, but I'm surprised we could hang on so tight when our bench is SHT SHT SHT it might as well not even be there.
Great F***ing take CP3 out you are not winning down 6 with 13 seconds **** more f***ing injuries.
Bobcats are much improved defensively this year. We all remember how they knocked off the Clippers just not long ago as well. They're definitely playing the right way, at least their focus on D is really terrific thanks to their new coach.
its crazy how much Charlotte improved their defense yet we still haven't had consistent defense over a stretch of games. you would of thought we'd have it down by now.

A Durango woman who was run over while she was cycling by a woman in her 60s driving a pickup two months ago in Bodo Industrial Park is making a slow but steady recovery in Denver.
Elizabeth �Betsy� Richards, 52, has undergone 13 surgeries � requiring her to be anesthetized 20 hours � to treat critical injuries, including a crushed pelvis.
During a phone interview this week, she said she feels lucky to be alive but unlucky to have been hit by a truck.
�I would say it was more of a bad day than a good day,� she said. �What a weird thing to have happen to me.�
Richards was run over by a 2007 Toyota Tundra driven by Linda Wagner, 64, of Bayfield, at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 8 near the north entrance of the Centennial Center.
Richards was riding a road bike southbound on the West Frontage Road when Wagner made a left turn in her northbound Toyota from the Frontage Road into a parking lot without seeing Richards.
�I don�t remember much, but all of a sudden, I woke up, and I was in the (intensive-care unit),� Richards said. �I remember the very beginning. I remember I was going to get hit by a truck.�
The pickup pushed Richards onto the hood. She then fell to the pavement and was run over by both tires on the driver�s side of the pickup, police said.
�It still just blows me away,� Richards said. �It was in the middle of the day. I was like: How could this truck possibly not see me? I remember that thought going through my brain.�
The driver was cited with careless driving causing serious bodily injury. She did not return a phone call Tuesday seeking comment.
Richards was flown to St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood with a shattered pelvis, a torn bladder, a crushed right wrist and nerve damage to her left foot.
A surgeon who specializes in pelvic reconstruction said he had never worked on someone who survived such extensive pelvic damage, Richards said.
She spent five weeks in the hospital. She now is living with her mother in Denver. She hasn�t been back to Durango since the accident because she must use a wheelchair and her house is not wheelchair-accessible, she said.
Doctors said it will be four more months before Richards can put enough weight on her hips to walk, but she is hoping it will be sooner.
�She�s very upbeat and very motivated to get healed,� said her husband, Joel Richards. �She�s going to the gym every day for about two hours a day and trying to get back together. Her spirits are great.�
Betsy Richards said she hasn�t had any contact with the driver of the truck.
�I don�t harbor any anger of anything,� she said. �I�m just moving on. It�s not pleasant for me, but this is where I�m at.�
Richards is an amateur cyclist and a member of the Durango Wheel Club. She has competed in several competitions, including the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, in which she took first place in her age division a couple years ago.
She recently founded Bucket List Bicycle Tours, a bicycle touring company, which she plans to start up again this spring.
She thanked the community for its support.
�Durango has just been awesome to me,� she said. Cards, flowers � just the mental support has been amazing to me.�

text: The blooming sign of Spring has come in the form of our beautiful Jacarandas. The shrubs and large Jacaranda trees that surround the Crystal Castle have begun to flower in beautiful shades of purple, lilac and mauve. Their flowers can be seen scattered across the garden paths and skyward in the towering trees. The splash of the Jacaranda's colour adds to the whimsical world of the Crystal Castle in its Spring adornment.

The 2 seasons prior to this outside of a few games Blake and CP never seemed to dominate as a duo. It was taking turns with good games and actually them playing better WITHOUT each other. This year their chemistry has taken a huge leap. I said the last 3 years they need to lead by example and finally they are.
Now we just need role players to step up and help outside of DJ. Redick and Bullock will be back within the next 2-3 weeks which will help. Point is Blake and CP3 are finally playing up to their potential and it's been beautiful.
They should only get better with some consistent outside shooting to open things up.
The sense of urgency kicked up from everyone once the Willie Green experiment failed. Jamal started and those two knew the bench scoring would be low.
Doc has awaken the rookie Blake and CP is playing like the MVP candidate back in 07.
Yea these last 3 games both have played like top 5 players at the same time!
A lot of this is the HUGE improvement to BG's game. His ft shooting is better and his jump shot is getting there. He was allowed to shoot corner threes. He's learning to deal with doubles in the post.
DJ is NOT a role player. When a guy is a top five rebounder who can give you 15 boards and has the Coach Nick Seal of Approval he's becoming a star.
If only our role players didn't play like scrubs. We would be 23-9 right now....
Kind of annoys me that our stars go beast mode and we still lose those road games because we got almost no production from our role players.
However, I can't wait to see what happens when everything is clicking. I hope that is soon.
CP3 gets some props for finding Blake in MUCH better spots this year. CP3 is now assisting on an asinine volume of Blake's FG's. DJ is a role player in the literal sense he's not a fullblown superstar/franchise player. Different degrees and I feel like he's on the cusp of being a full fledged star
I never said DJ is a superstar but he's gaining respect throughout the league and is recognized as a game changer. A budding star. If hit 60% of his FTs he'd be in consideration by some as an allstar.
It's not really fair to call our bench scrubs. Crawford is a bench player. Mat has been out and Collison has been playing well. Hollins is improving and is a net positive. (pun intended?) I wouldn't call Willie a scrub since he was a starter in our run last year and is doing OK. We have no PF and Antwan is playing like crap.
They might be playing like scrubs.
I have to LOL at because he has coach nick's approval. Hahahha
actually its BG that is emerging as the dominant force and leading this team, CP is playing at his usual high and competitive level
Pretty much this.
Other than some flashy dunks/lobs, still don't think the BG/CP3 really complement each other well. Right now, I just mostly see both of them having success individually.
Hoping Blake will have a reliable jumper by playoffs. David West/Paul pick n roll was unstoppable before.
Well I did say playing like scrubs. I know they are much more capable than that which is what is annoying me. Its one thing if they are not capable but they are quality players that just aren't contributing like they should right now. DJ is becoming a very good player but just not in the same convo as CP or Blake.
i don't think Antwan is getting enough playing time. they should give more minutes I'm pretty sure he'll get his rhythm back.
he looked good in his first couple of games and that wasn't even him at 100%.
It is a long season but I am not worried about BG or CP3. We need a lot more production from our wings if we are going to compete in the playoffs.
A team has to have that dynamic duo if you think about all championship teams,ours are coming to fruition and it is so much fun to see and we were there to see it finally happen.
Or a ton of good players, but certainly seems easier to have a dynamic duo than the later
Role players need to step up though, I was watching the okc game tonight and all of their guys have really stepped it up it seems since Westbrook went down.
For the first time ever, it is safe to say that we have two superstars who can carry us in the playoffs.
Great Post.
Watching Blake's improvement every game has been AMAZING. My adrenaline has been flowing.
BTW, Please trade DUDLEY, GREEN, and MULLENS for someone. PLEASE. WASTE of ROSTER SPACE.
Seriously, WHAT DO THEY DO other than MISS EVERY OPEN SHOT THEY TAKE?
Dudley has had his moments this season. He made the clutch shot against Minnesota recently. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's still not 100%. His knees could still be bothering him.
In the words of Ralph and Mike, "It's the evolution of Blake Griffin." This season has put to rest any doubts that Blake might not be a legitimate superstar. He's rebounding again, improving his passing, and shooting the ball better. His defense still needs improvement, but he's still young. There's plenty of time for him to learn and improve. He's scoring like he did in his rookie year, only he's smarter about it and doing it more efficiently. Not to mention he's making his free throws too.
Although I still have some concerns about other aspects of this team, I'm starting to believe that CP3 and Blake could be enough to carry this team to the finals. Now we just need to get Redick back and get Dudley 100% so he can consistently knock down those 3s.
And we still need a decent back up big. I did think it was a C we needed to give DJ a break every now and then but it is probably a C/PF because Doc seems to have stopped playing 'Twan as well.
Only if we had the surrounding talent OKC has. Jackson and Lamb have been producing all season, just without a lot of minutes (Jones and Adams too). Increased minutes will make it seem like they are playing at a higher level or doing more, but they are just getting more time and opportunity.
OKC really has a lot of talent, and young talent too, stockpiled over there.
Dudley should sit until the end of February
Ad a backup big that can actually play basketball, and this team has a lot of potential
Forgot to mention with no injuries screwing things up!
That Dallas team got hot at the right time. I think they shot like close to 40% at the 3 point line the entire playoff

I haven't posted on these boards in like two years.....and even if I had been, this still may be in the top 5 of the dumbest things I've seen in that time.
TMZ spoke with one of the Clippers who tells us, "People always hate on the best what do you except when you're the best?"
"There's NO FEAR and Blake isn't worried about the haters. We have Blake's back but he ain't worried."
http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2014/ ... fins-back/
Sorry if this was discussed before in the past but I just came across this article with an interesting quote from DJ. I remember the team saying they would back up Blake, but I really have yet to see DJ or anyone else really do anything. I'm not saying to start a brawl or anything, but seems like this was all talk.
http://www.playersview.net/clippers-dea ... ck-around/
Indiana head coach Frank Vogel said with a laugh Wednesday. "We all know Blake gets more hard fouls than anybody in the league. But there's a reason for that. The guys that are guarding him don't want to get dunked on and end up on SportsCenter."
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/stor ... api_public
I'm surprised they got a comment out of frank vogel.. nevertheless a good article
Here's an update since you've been gone: that guy's a troll. Don't feed it!
When D. Howard was with the Magic I thought that he was mauled more than any other player in NBA history. (Shaq a close second) Since I've become a huge Clipper fan(because of JJ)Blake Just gets the .... Beat out of him almost every game! I don't know why the league allows this to happen? Maybe They just pick a player every so often to let everybody beat up on for entertainment sakes.
I think Blake gets hit. I don't think I know he does. He gets hit more than those softies in and from OKC in James Harden and Kevin Durant
It seems like lebron agrees cause after the pacers game he said he and Blake griffin gets to many hard hits.
Yeah, but I don't think LeBron gets half as much as Blake. He called his and one on a drive against Lance and he wasn't even touched. How are going to call your own game? and worse how are the refs going to go with it?
Maybe Blake should start using that tactic, after the contact stop look at the ref and call the foul yourself (just kidding please just play the game and let the refs make the terrible calls on their own).
