Aiken City Council passed two items Monday evening that will bring more business to the area.
The two proposed hotels on Whiskey Road and the veterinarian clinic at the Woodside Plantation's office complex were each unanimously approved by City Council on their second and final readings.
Nobody from the public spoke on the two items.
The two hotels, which will be a Staybridge Suites and a Holiday Inn Express, will be located on a plot of land off Whiskey Road near Stratford Drive.
The hotels are projected to have an economic impact of $30 million and will create around 100 jobs.
The hotels were first presented to Council earlier this year but were voted down. Residents living in the vicinity of the project expressed concern about one of the two outlets for the hotels to be placed onto Stratford Drive as shown in the concept plan. Traffic was something many of those residents worried about, especially with Stratford Drive being the only way in and out of three different neighborhoods with more than 200 homes combined.
Naman Hotels, the applicant, came back to Council on Nov. 26 with an amended plan that included a frontage road, and the exit onto Stratford was removed.
Residents welcomed the changed plan and applauded the applicant's efforts.
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.
This type of hotel will cater to those only staying for a few nights.
The second facility, Staybridge Suites, will be more of a "residential hotel," or a place where someone could stay for a few weeks or months.
That building 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.
Later in the meeting, Council passed Woodside Development's revised concept plan for Woodside Plantation. The revision was made to include a veterinarian office in its 16,000 square-foot office complex that was approved by Council in July.
The amendment was requested because veterinarian offices are considered retail use and not office use under the City's zoning ordinance.
Before the application was approved, City Councilman Reggie Ebner asked if there would be an exterior kennel as part of the new veterinarian office. It was confirmed that there will not be an exterior kennel because it's not shown in the concept plan and if one were to be added, the applicant would have to come back to Council for approval.

'IKEA Penthouse'
13 August 2010
'IKEA Penthouse'
Nice. Day off.
My abstinence plan left me feeling pretty good this morning, which was just as well as I actually needed my brain this afternoon to work on show material. In addition to the touch-type translator, there are five elements of the show which contain either written or spoken text. In a weak moment we decided that it would be a good idea to translate all of these into each of the languages that our travelling circus will be visiting. Some of these elements are pretty straightforward to translate, but some of them also require aesthetic choices to be made, so being the control freak that I am, I felt the need to oversee these myself.
Smasher and Dec came to my room (dubbed 'the IKEA penthouse') with their machines and we got stuck into a day of editing. It's a dramatic yardstick of the continuous advance of technology that we can now do this kind of work on laptops in hotel rooms. Even a couple of years ago you'd really have needed desktop machines and it's not that long since we'd have been hiring Flame suites in Soho to achieve what we got through today.
There are a total of eleven languages required for the tour, which is a tad mind-boggling. The bulk of the written text we managed to have translated by our promoter contacts in each country, so much of the day's work was of the 'cut and paste' variety. Some of it isn't quite so straightforward though, as some countries have more than one official language, opening up a potential minefield of political correctness. For Zurich we've decided to go with German, as it's in a staunchly German area. Brussels however is trickier as theoretically this is a 'neutral' city in a country with three official languages. The 'questions' piece is easy enough, as we can put in some of each language, but god only knows what we're going to do about elements requiring subtitles. To run Flemish, French and German subtitiles simultaneously smacks of trying way too hard (not to mention that there wouldn't be any room for pictures left on the screen) so we'll probably just go with English. At least that way we'll insult everybody equally, which seems democratic if nothing else.
The afternoon wore on and we did pretty well but clearly there's a few days work here. I started with the languages of which I have at least a remote grasp and that wasn't too difficult but when it came to Russian, Greek and Turkish I realised that the potential for disaster or hilarity was increasing steadily. (Remind me to tell you some time about the night I nearly had U2 performing on the Grammys in front of the word 'arse' in Hebrew). If I've made any mistakes, I hope at least that the native viewers will at least appreciate the gesture and give us a few points for effort.
By dusk we were all square-eyed with screen burn, so put out the word that the IKEA penthouse was opening its terrace. A few of our touring party showed up and we opened a couple of bottles of fine French red. It's a little cooler tonight, which is not unpleasant, but the air feels wet so we may be in for 'a bit of weather'.
Had dinner with Joe for the first time in ages. We all get so focussed and wrapped up in our individual task-mountains that sometimes weeks seem to go by without social connection to half the people we spend every day with. Concierge recommendations can really go either way but tonight we got a very good steer to a surprisingly good local place and had a good catch up. He's fine.

We took several things we love and made one really cool sock. It is about 32-35 inches from toe to top, tube style (these should fit nearly any size foot), and has three stripes at the top for a bit of sporty style. We tried them, we loved them, hopefully you will too! Made in the USA.
Approximately 32-35 inches long from toes to cuffs, unstretched. They will shrink a few inches in a hot wash and should end up somewhere between your knees and your thighs, depending on how long and wide your legs are. They've got about 18 inches of stretch around the tops, though they do tend to roll when stretched to their max and could benefit from garters.
Additional Info: We have tubes in Solid colors, and Dreamy-Striped too!
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 10% nylon, 10% spandex. The insides are nice thick absorbent terry knit.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
Are these sock for plus size woman
would a garter work to keep these up ??
I like Sock Dreams, because they have a really good vetting process on what they carry, and provide real-life size specs.

New robotic devices promise mobility for the handicapped
The Power Assist Suit was developed at Kanagawa to aid nurses in lifting immobile patients.
Article Summary
The recent news that Swiss and Spanish scientists have developed a successful prototype of a mind-controlled wheelchair is yet another indication of broad range of work being done around the planet to develop mobility solutions for the disabled and aged market. Most importantly, the new system adds a critical dimension to the work being done - machine control via the mind. In a system which might best be described as augmented or assisted telepathy, the new system is reported to use electrodes embedded in a skullcap to monitor the brain patterns of the user, interpret them via sophisticated software algorithms, and control the wheelchair via a wireless link.

This ought to make a heck of a long term release in about a year.
Phoronix: Mesa 7.9 Makes It To The Release Candidate Stage
Mesa 7.9, one of the biggest updates to this open-source graphics driver stack in quite a while, is almost here. Ian Romanick has made available a release candidate for Mesa 7.9 and is saying the final release will be here one week from now (4 October) barring any major issues cropping up...
This ought to make a heck of a long term release in about a year.
Will Galium3d be the default or mesa classic?
I think the idea is 300g for 3xx-5xx, 600c for 6xx-EG...
... so "yes and no"
There is no "default", it's up to distros what they package. All we can do is to build the driver for them.
If you build both classic and gallium and type "sudo make install", gallium gets chosen basically (it first installs classic and then gallium, overwriting classic).
There were some useful new fixes for r600c (HD2xxx-HD5xxx) checked into 7.9 over the last day or so, including stencil support for Evergreen (HD5xxx). This would be a great time to try out the latest code before 7.9 locks and ships.
If you are running HD5xxx I believe you need the latest DDX from the evergreen-accel branch as well.
Apparently OpenArena runs properly on Evergreen now
ioquake3 has been working on evergreen for a while, it's been playable since the mipmap fixes. (it was playable before, just ugly). Didn't test openarena, but it's based on the same engine.
I noticed that even simple 3d apps are affected by resolution, even though fill rate shouldn't be a problem there. I guess it's because colortiling is still missing for evergreen?
At one point all gfx froze. I could still move the mouse pointer, but there were no more framebuffer updates, no VT switches, couldn't kill X, nothing. This happened before, but due to a lack of messages in dmesg or xorg.0.log or any reliable reproducability, I wouldn't know how to properly report it.

Londonderry is well known for its wild Atlantic coast, its famous siege and its historic walled city. But now there's a new attraction to savour: its future
Sitting snug on the River Foyle, Derry-Londonderry is Ireland's only surviving walled city. But don't think for a second that those walls hem it in. Like Belfast, Northern Ireland's second city is in mid-leap – jumping from a turbulent history into a very bright future. Just 15 years ago, who would have thought Derry-Londonderry would be the inaugural UK City of Culture?
This is a city growing in confidence by the day.
Wander the bustling streets or cross the new Peace Bridge and you'll sense energy in the air; an energy that has seen it host clipper yacht homecoming races, huge Halloween carnivals and cruise liners by the dozen.
Within these old city walls, you'll also find one of Ireland's youngest populations. Sure, you can still see political murals – like the famous You Are Now Entering Free Derry in the city's Bogside neighbourhood. The difference is that today, they're tourist attractions.
In 1994, Monty Python legend Michael Palin began a famous rail journey in Derry-Londonderry, tracing the path of his great-grandmother who left Ireland for America 150 years beforehand. The first stretch of that route is one of the sweetest train rides in Ireland – following the River Foyle and gliding alongside Benone Strand, before disappearing into one of the island's longest tunnels.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
Rail is just one way to travel beyond the city. With a swift change of pace, you and your friends could be on your bikes, following the Foyle Valley Cycle Route to the border towns of Lifford and Strabane. Or what about a visit to Ness Country Park to check out the highest waterfall in Northern Ireland? A zorbing adventure in Magherafelt perhaps? Or you could test your skill against the salmon and trout along The Foyle System, one of the richest fishing rivers in Europe?
Maybe you're feeling romantic. Plotting a proposal, even? Inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Mussenden Temple is an 18th-century folly overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at Downhill Demesne. It has even been known to host the odd civil wedding…
Londonderry has a thriving arts and festival scene, and the county has produced two Nobel Prizewinners in its time: Seamus Heaney from Castledawson, and John Hume from the Derry-Londonderry city, which incidentally is also hometown of Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle, and composer Phil Coulter.
"There was music there in the Derry air," as Coulter wrote in The Town I Loved So Well, a famous tune in which the singer laments Derry-Londonderry's tragic history, but looks forward to "a bright, brand new day" in the future.
That day is well and truly here.

Sequestration worse than thought, Pentagon frets
Thursday - 12/13/2012, 5:42am EST
When it comes to describing the consequences of sequestration on national security, Defense Department leaders haven't held back on strong adjectives over the past year: Pentagon officials have said automatic budget cuts would be "draconian," "devastating" and "deeply destructive."
But as the Pentagon begins its long-delayed process of planning to implement the cuts, leaders are concluding that they may have to contend with a cut that is $10 billion larger than previously planned.
The assumption until recently has been that the Defense Department would be liable for an immediate cut of $52.3 billion from its 2013 ledger. But planners now are grappling with the possibility that the actual tab may be as much as $62 billion.
The reasons are buried in the web of federal law that agencies would use to implement sequestration, should Congress and the President fail to agree on an alternative. The Budget Control Act, passed last year, provided the deadlines and some of the details for fail safe, across-the-board cuts that were never supposed to happen. But the 2011 law relied heavily by reference on an earlier sequestration plan, passed in the 1980s, which makes things more complicated.
"You have to establish the baseline you're cutting from, and that's a question we've had for a long time. The way the baseline is established is that if we had a budget in place, we'd use that. However, it appears there's a provision that you cannot be above a certain level, and we're above that cap," a senior Defense official said Wednesday. "So we've got to get down to the cap and then we've got to take the $52 billion off of that."
Waiting for 2013 budget
Whether or not DoD would truly exceed the Budget Control Act's caps on spending in 2013 is a purely theoretical question, though, at least so far.
Like the rest of government, the Pentagon doesn't yet have a legally-enacted budget for the full year. It's operating under a continuing resolution through the end of March, and it remains far from clear what the department's full budget will be for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
Also complicating matters: the ultimate arbiter of how sequestration will be implemented is the Office of Management and Budget. OMB still has not clearly instructed agencies as to whether the across-the-board cuts would be implemented at the level of individual programs, projects and activities, or whether the slicing will apply to budget accounts, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the ongoing negotiations between the White House and Congressional leaders.
Account level gives flexibility
DoD is advocating for the cuts to be taken at the account level, which would give it at least some flexibility to determine where money is spent.
But even if the reductions were made at the broader level of budget accounts, the additional $10 billion would alter some of the Pentagon's previous predictions about sequestration, the official said.
Earlier thinking about the cuts suggested the Pentagon would be able to avoid renegotiating deals with its suppliers. That's a scenario DoD would strongly prefer to avoid, since reopening hard-won contracts would almost inevitably lead to higher costs. But the calculus Defense planners now are considering would change that.
"We did an assessment last fall of a handful of programs to see what the impacts of different levels of cuts would be. An extra 2 percent does make a significant difference," the official said.

Lorenzo Baldassarri of Italy rode a near faultless race in treacherous wet conditions on Sunday to steal an impressive victory in the second of two Red Bull Rookie races held on the British circuit this weekend.
The 14-year old rider finished 11 seconds ahead of Austrian Lukas Trautmann, who won Saturday's race and is now just five points behind championship leader Arthur Sissis of Australia.
Frenchman Alan Techer who started from pole position, finished third. It was the first time that the Red Bull Rookies has visited the British circuit and it was a weekend that shook up the standing order. Sissis, who has been in the forefront of the competition was only able to finish in sixth spot and declared it his worst ever weekend in his 3-seasons in the competition, saying he had to forget it and move on.
Baldassarri, who finished second on Saturday, was delighted with his result. "It was a great race, I made a good start and I immediately found a good feeling. I was very comfortable going at that speed and I only had a slide on the first lap when I ran on the grass, after that everything was OK. I looked behind and could see Lukas there but I was not worried, I was getting cold and wet but I knew I could win if I didn't make any mistakes."
Trautmann was also pleased with his second place, saying "The start was good and when I saw Lorenzo have his big slide on the first lap I was able to catch him. But that was also a warning about how easy it was to make a mistake in these slippery conditions and I really didn't want to make a mistake. He was so fast in a couple of sections that I realized it was not possible to go with him and I was happy with second."
Pole sitter Techer had been disappointed with sixth on Saturday but was pleased to be on the podium.
Riders have now absolved 6 of the 14 races on the 2011 calendar so the championship remains wide open. They will reconvene on the Dutch circuit of Assen in two weeks time. All Red Bull Rookies ride identical KTM 125 RR machines.

JavaScript (also known as ECMAScript) is a scripting language primarily used in client-side web site development to extend and enhance an end-user's experience. Joomla provides developers with easy-to-use mechanisms to include JavaScript in their extensions using existing API methods.
There are a number of methods for including JavaScript in your Joomla extensions; some of these are described below.
There are three methods for embedding JavaScript into your code using the Joomla API; JDocument::addScriptDeclaration, JDocument::addScript and script. These methods should be called either in your component's View class (<yourcomponent>/views/<yourview>/view.html.php) or template script (<yourcomponent>/views/<yourview>/tmpl/<yourtemplate>.php or in the case of a module, in its template script (<yourmodule>/tmpl/<yourtemplate>.php).
Inline JavaScript
Blocks of JavaScript code can be declared directly within a component or module's display template using the JDocument class' addScriptDeclaration method:
<?php $document = &JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addScriptDeclaration(' window.event("domready", function() { alert("An inline JavaScript Declaration"); }); '); ?>
External JavaScript
Alternatively, you may wish to separate your JavaScript into a separate file. Separating your JavaScript into an external file can make your template code easier to read especially if the JavaScript is lengthy or complex.
There are two ways to include a JavaScript file using the Joomla API. The first involves using the JDocument class' addScript method:
<?php $document = &JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addScript('/media/system/js/sample.js'); ?>
The second uses the JHTML class' script method:
<?php // Add the path parameter if the path is different than 'media/system/js/' JHTML::script('sample.js', 'templates/custom/js/'); ?>
The Joomla API's JDocument::addScriptDeclaration, JDocument::addScript and script methods embed JavaScript into Joomla's index.php via the jdoc head tag:
<jdoc:include type="head"/>
Using the JDocument::addScript or script methods to embed JavaScript includes would result in the index.php rendering the following HTML:
<head> ... <script type="text/javaScript" src="/media/system/js/sample.js"></script> ... </head>
Calling the class method JDocument::addScriptDeclaration would render the following HTML:
<head> ... <script type="text/javaScript"> window.addEvent("domready", function() { alert("Embedded block of JS here"); }); </script> ... </head>
Using these methods is highly recommended as it clearly differentiates another scripting language (JavaScript) from the main PHP code, ensures all JavaScript is correctly embedded between the <head></head> tags and, in the case of JDocument::addScript and JHTML::script ensures that a JavaScript file is included only once (I.e. there is no .js file duplication).
Using a JavaScript Framework
Two Javascript frameworks are provided as part of Joomla 3.0; JQuery and Mootools. JQuery is a newly introduced framework which integrates with Joomla's new Bootstrap HTML framework; Mootools is Joomla's legacy Javascript library which is now superseded by JQuery and is included for backwards compatibility with 3rd party extensions.
In nearly all cases you should use a framework when developing Javascript in your extensions or templates and including one is very simple with Joomla's API.
As of Joomla 3.0 it is highly recommended you use the JQuery framework for all your Javascript as it is loaded by nearly every template which uses the Bootstrap HTML/CSS framework. In those few instances where JQuery is not available, you can easily include the framework using the JHTMLJQuery class' framework method.
To include the JQuery framework in your extension, you add the following code to your view.html.php or tmpl file:
Using the framework method ensures JQuery is included correctly, only once, and ensures it doesn't clash with Mootools (if also loaded).
Then it is just a matter of leveraging the JQuery framework:
JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration(' (function($) { $(document).ready(function() { alert($("#list li").size()); }); })(jQuery); ');
More information about JQuery is available at http://docs.jquery.com/How_jQuery_Works. For API documentation, visit http://docs.jquery.com/.
Unless you are maintaining Javascript code which leverages Mootools or you are developing an extension for a Joomla version prior to 3.0 it is recommended you use JQuery instead.
Firstly, you will need to include the Mootools code in your extension. To include the Mootools framework in your extension, you add the following code to your view.html.php or tmpl file:
The above code results in the same outcome as the similar JQuery framework statement; that is it ensures Mootools is included correctly and only once.
Then using Mootools is almost identical to JQuery:
JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration(' window.addEvent('domready', function() { alert($("list").getElements("li").length); }); ');
More information about Mootools is available at http://mootools.net/. For API documentation, visit http://mootools.net/docs/core.

Cubs Sign Samardzija To Five-year, $8 Million Deal good or bad decision?
Posted 19 January 2007 - 02:56 PM
Cubs sign Samardzija to five-year, $8 million deal
Notre Dame wide receiver Jeff Samardzija has decided to forego a pro football career for that of a baseball pitcher -- and he'll be well compensated for it.
Samardzija signed a five-year deal Friday to play baseball full-time, starting in the Chicago Cubs' minor league system.
ESPN.com's Wayne Drehs reports the deal is worth $8 million, guaranteed. A news conference was scheduled for Friday afternoon.
When the Cubs drafted Samardzija in the fifth round last June, giving him a $250,000 signing bonus, he intended to play both football and baseball professionally.
Last season, Samardzija pitched for Class A Boise and Peoria, where he finished a combined 1-2 with a 2.70 earned run average. He struck out 17 and walked 12 in 30 innings.
Posted 19 January 2007 - 03:31 PM
That sux i LOVE Samardija and would have liked to see him play in the NFL. but looks like hes chosen his sport and its baseball. Hey cant blame him, A lot more money in baseball than football when it comes to player contracts. best of luck to him.
But I think this also Greatly affects the draft because thats a 1st round guy thats now outta the draft. Teams are gunna have to change the way they attack now that wanted him.

Not likely. Pitchers always get paid big time and he would likely have a longer career in baseball then in football. Plus contracts in baseball are guaranteed. Plus football is far more grueling than baseball. I can't blame him for this move. I've heard he's better at baseball too. Oh well, it doesn't really affect the Jets, except that it's a little less depth at WR in the draft.

I really liked him and thought we had a shot at taking him in the 2nd round

In baseball the contracts are guaranteed, career length is generally longer as there is less chance of sustaining an injury and the pay is generally better too.
