To all,
Kathleen Parker has a website and an e-mail address. I think it would be fruitful to forward all letters to her personally, in addition to USA Today. Parker needs to recant her blatant discriminatory article against atheists.

There is a chat room with action on the no atheists in a foxhole article. It is very active with many critical of the article.

When sacked by National Review for saying of the Muslims celebrating the attack, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity," columnist Ann Coulter replied: "Frankly, I'm getting a lot of great publicity." She was only talking about those who were celebrating the attacks, remember.
Right! Like Rush Limbaugh, she knows she's got quite an audience for that kind of stuff, and she's hoping she'll be able to continue to milk this in the post-September 11 climate, not counting on the possibility that this thing threw everybody for a loop, that practically everybody's gone off their diet, and we just might see some wholesale changes in people's attitudes over the next few months.
So now Kathleen Parker's chat room is being billed as the hottest atheist board going. Can we really add to the discussion by tossing in a few more numbers? Perhaps. We do better, though, by trying to learn from this. At minimum, we owe it to ourselves (and the community as a whole) to at least make a statement: we gotta say at least something, and cannot simply let this thing slide. To remain silent would be to renege on our responsibility to our fellow humans as a whole.
If nothing else, we've shown ourselves that we can examine a statement consisting of tired old clichés, long overdue for becoming passé, and express how it makes us feel -- how this behavior has always made us feel. If nothing else, we've pulled ourselves that much further out of the closet. If nothing else, one more small group of disinterested observers have been exposed to this particular issue.
But now the question we need to ask is, When does it become like beating a dead horse?
In suggesting that our energy might be more wisely used elsewhere (without suggesting exactly where that might be), I will mention that I was briefly involved in the Boy Scouts discussion. While my associates were jumping up and down to the Scouts, their supporters, and the public about that group's discrimination against atheists, I was quietly observing the other front in that battle: those working to end Scouting's homophobia. I noticed just how much more successful the gays had become than the atheists even hoped to become.
After reading a few dozen of his e-list dispatches, I approached the busiest spokesman for Scouting's anti-homophobia movement and asked him what it would take for his group to systematically mention atheists every time his group mentions anything about Scouting and homosexuals.
He didn't balk, but it didn't seem as if he thought much of the suggestion. It seemed almost as if he didn't want to tarnish a good thing by taking risks at this point, but I can't really tell what was going on in his mind, I just remember making that specific request. Instead, he pointed to a few things that he had said.
I reiterated that it certainly wouldn't hurt for his end of the movement to say "homosexuals and atheists" whenever they ordinarily would have merely mentioned "homosexuals." This isn't the exact language and metaphor I used, but simply the gist of what I was trying to get across: Please bring up the atheists every time you mention the homosexuals, because you're doing quite well and we've gotten nowhere."
Well, literally moments later I started Positive Atheism and have been busy doing this since then, no longer affiliated with the people who had been busy working against the Scouts. I received a rare e-mail from my former associate a few weeks ago, celebrating just how much success has been derived from this one activist's group's having made one simple change: they now systematically include atheists in almost every statement they make. Hmmmm! My former associate had sent her dispatch in part to thank them and laud them for having made the change. (Now, not that it matters where an idea comes from or who does the work to put it in place -- but if she only knew!)
My point is this: Working directly against the opponent is not always the wisest use of our time, energy, enthusiasm, and other resources. With the Scouting thing, a couple of extra half-hours carefully challenging potentially one of our staunchest allies seems to be what changed everything for our side. Instead of being on the outside, trying to figure out how we could ever manage to even ride their coattails, we appear to have become an important part of their cause! Now may those who had been working for atheist dignity in Scouting return kind with kind and bring homosexuals into their speech at every opportunity!
With Kathleen Parker, there's quite a bit of personal pride at stake. If she says anything at all on her own (without being coerced by Gannett), it will be a spin -- guaranteed. One person claims to have received just such an apology from Parker:
Why take it so personally? It wasn't about atheists. It was about the fact that everyone is talking about God all of a sudden when no one would have mentioned the word before Sept. 11. That was my real point.
Yeah, right! If that's what she's saying, it has all the irony of James Watt's bit describing his staff to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1983: "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent." Watt was trying to be funny: Watt was actually paying them a complement (if you can buy that one). Watt had to cool off critics of racial imbalance in his department, so he livened it up with humor so oblique that in the end even he couldn't explain the punch line. Instead, he resigned in disgrace. Hey! He was just trying to make a point!
Why take it so personally? ...
Why does she feel the need to throw it back on us like that? Why not simply own what she said?
Why take it so personally? Because, like James Watt's "Black," like James Watt's "woman," like James Watt's "two Jews," and (speaking from personal experience) like James Watt's "cripple," Kathleen Parker's "atheists" have been getting the short end for so long -- for generations, in fact -- that we don't even want to think about that aspect any longer, we just look forward to the day when we can live in peace and dignity.
... everyone is talking about God all of a sudden when no one would have mentioned the word before Sept. 11....
You mean to tell me that with George W. Bush in office, nobody has been willing to even mention God in public life? In other words, our pious President is the only one?
I don't buy that one -- not for a minute!
Bush barely edged out Al Gore in what more than a few social critics called "a race for the office of Bishop." In this day and age, if you don't have the "God" angle covered, your political career is in grave danger. (Lincoln had similar problems but dealt with them quite differently.) Though Gore said he'd vote for an atheist, even level-headed John McCain balked at that, saying he found it "impossible" to imagine that "a nation which is grounded in Judaeo-Christian principles would somehow select someone ... who would repudiate those principles."
By the way, have you written your letter to ABC yet? Their favorite talk show host Star Jones just joined rank with Senator McCain! Just this week she said she was grateful that George W. Bush is a "man of faith," adding that under no circumstances would she ever vote for an Atheist, since nonbelievers presumably have no foundation for morality.
No foundation for morality, eh? Have you heard that one before? Does this mean we atheists are de facto wicked or something?
That's how Miami Mayor Joe Carollo vilified the Immigration agents who grabbed Cuban boy-refugee Elian Gonzalez in a celebrated Easter Morning raid: "These are atheists. They don't believe in God," he said. And Carollo kept his job in part because the only voices anybody heard on that one were Positive Atheism and a few of her readers -- thanks to one very alert reader.
Grab a copy of Merriam-Webster's Tenth Collegiate Dictionary (or any M-W dictionary, for that matter), look up the word atheism, and check out their idea of a synonym: "wickedness"! That they call this rendering "archaic" only shows how long we've been dealing with it. That a major talk show host can continue this myth and remain employed only shows that the idea is not as "archaic" as M-W would have us believe.
But if Arizona Senator John McCain and ABC talk show host Star Jones would refuse to vote for a candidate simply because she or he is an atheist, they rank well within the majority of Americans. The 1999 edition of a semi-frequent Gallup poll says that being an atheist is still "the most discriminated-against characteristic of the eight tested in the research." The question? Would you vote for somebody who is a ________ for President? Here are the 1999 results:
"____ percent of Americans
95 Black
That's right: Fewer than half of Americans would vote for somebody if one of their character traits happened to be atheism.
But wait a minute: Polls continually show a solid ten percent of Americans to be without religion or theism (however they want to describe it, because we see what happens when you call yourself an atheist). This would mean that chances are, ten percent of politicians are atheists, wouldn't you think? even more so, because religiosity is more strongly represented among the poor, and you rarely if ever see politicians coming from that side of the tracks.
Or is "American Politician" such a fine, upstanding category of profession that only fine, upstanding Christians would ever consider making American politician their career choice? is that it?
I don't think so.
Rather, I'd wager that a solid ten percent of all American politicians are lying to the public about their religious beliefs! Why? Because the American public, through its bigotry, forces the politicians to pretend to be Christian (or, in some parts of the country, Jewish or Mormon).
Can you just see this on one of the online service debate boards?
Atheists are more moral than religious people.
1. Given that: American politicians are among the most consistently corrupt people groups ever to have existed.
-- or --
3. Therefore atheists, containing zero American politicians, have that many fewer corrupt people within their overall ranks.
So, in short, I think we do well to make at least a little noise about Kathleen Parker. Ditto for Star Jones' remark about atheists having no basis for morality and ditto for E! magazine host Ben Stein's remark calling the terrorist attacks an "atheistic evil." (Excuse me? Those guys had drafted special prayers to Allah just to help them make it through this ordeal!)
We need to make noise about all this plus Bush's exclusive, almost exploitative, ultra-religious handling of the national ceremony of mourning for our fellow Americans who fell from this vicious attack, which also should have served as a way for us to unite and also should have helped any and all Americans recover from the sheer shock of having watched this thing go down.
But there reaches a point where we've said all we can say to all who can listen. Saying it again and again over the same incident (i.e., rubbing it in) just isn't going to improve anything at a certain point: our energies are, at that point, best used doing something different. Just what that "something different" is, though, depends entirely on the situation at hand.
That's where being observant and getting creative will make all the difference. May I recommend tracking down a copy of Saul Alynski's classic books, Rules for Radicals and Revile for Radicals or perhaps Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book could provide numerous attention-getting ideas. Any study of the union organizers or the anti-war movement or the civil rights movement or even Gandhi's salt rebellion is sure to full of anecdotes of all their successes and even tell of where they failed and how.
That's where working variously as individual activists can actually strengthen our position. As we saw with the Scouting thing, a single move by one person in an entirely unexpected direction appears to have made a big difference there. Thomas Paine's one pamphlet series sparked the entire American Revolution and his one trip to France financed much of the ensuing war. With several people each doing something different, we are more likely to see one of them actually finding that one moment, that one situation, that one opportunity where a couple of hours of careful talk can accomplish the work of thousands in daily toil for a month.
Thanks for your letter and for the opportunity to hammer out a few new ideas.
Again, I'm not saying not to log on and give Ms. Parker a piece of your mind. I'm only saying that if this is all we do -- if our goal is to see how many people will log on to the most board and show solidarity -- we shouldn't be surprised if three months from now we're still basically where we were three months ago. We do want to make our voices heard and we do want a strong show of solidarity whenever possible (and we sure have it with this wildly successful statement against Ms. Parker). But as with most moves, there's only so far you can go with this one. Most importantly, there are only so many of us and we each have only so much time and so many resources. So we must pick our battles wisely.

The Southeast Alabama Child Advocacy Center has received a grant for nearly $142,000.
The money will be used to help the students and others affected by the deadly Midland City school bus shooting.
20 students' lives were forever changed when Jimmy Lee Dykes stopped on a school bus and fatally shot bus driver Charles Poland and took a six-year-old boy, but despite such tragedy, the Child Advocacy Center in Dothan has programs in place to help cope.
"We decided we would set up programs of counseling and groups in the schools and we met with the school personnel to get it started so about a week after that we were contacted but the office of vitims of crime in washington about writing a grant," says Sherryl Walker, a representative from the Center.
They say writing a grant literally paid off.
"It is an 18 month grant so what we will be able to do is it will help pay for some of the expenses we have already incurred but it will aslo allow ius to provide consuling and groups and support and training to the first responders and school personell about how to react in these situations and also it is really important for people to iunderstand the affects of trama on children."
Some of the students on the bus are having a hard time coping either they cant ride a school bus anymore or they are having flashbacks of of the event but the CAC is trying to change that.
"One child I am familar with she was having a hard time sleeping at night and through therapy she was able to change her thought matters and realaize that was a one time thing and was able to implment some of the things we have taught her...she has been able to sleep by herself and smile."
It's a smile that Walker says validates why these therapy sessions are needed.
The funding for program lasts until July of 2014.

Crown Jewels Delicious Mint Chocolate Truffles
Taste: These medium-size truffles were just great. The texture was soft but not mushy, and the chocolate mint taste was just delicious, as good as chocolate mint can get. I could eat these all day long, and then continue through the night. I particularly love the fact that the suggested serving size is four pieces (so the eight pieces in this box are just two servings). If you can restrict yourself to eating just four, I am impreseed.
Shop: Buy snacks at Amazon.com
Aroma: Nice mint chocolate smell.
From the package
"Individually wrapped in beautiful foil" ... "Exquisite milk chocolate"
This snack was discovered by Jeremy at Christmas Tree Shops. Review published .

Casio develops new LCD with 546 ppi and up to 16.77 million colors, definitely not for wristwatches
Using their original hyper-amorphous silicon TFT technology (HAST) for LCDs, Casio has successfully developed the most colorful and pixel-filled TFT LCD on the planet. Called the a-Si TFT (amorphous silicon TFT) LCD, it measures 2.0-inches and comes packed with 546 pixels per inch (ppi).
Even the Apple iPhone, with its 160 ppi bright color display is no match for this. And everyone thought it was the mobile phone display to beat. Well, guess what, Casio just "beat" it with the a-Si TFT LCD.
One possible application of this new technology would be to enable users to watch HD video content on their 2-inch screen equipped mobile phones or any other similar devices. Casio also bills this to be highly compatible with the full HD standard (1920×1080 pixel), and suggests that it should also work the same way with high-quality stills as with video. From the looks of it, it can beat OLED, so it would be interesting to see which mobile phone company applies it to their products first.

NFL Draft trade rumors for 2014 have the Houston Texans considering trading their No. 1 pick. These 2014 NFL Draft trade rumors should interest any team that is looking for a franchise quarterback right away. A report on ESPN from Friday (Jan. 3) has Texans owner Bob McNair confirming the potential. This might be the exact opposite of what fans want to hear about what the offseason could hold for the franchise. It could also make Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville available for another team now.
Talking about his upcoming decision, McNair stated, "Maybe we'll trade down and still get a quarterback that can do the job and get an outstanding defensive player. It's an exciting time. Everything's a moving target. Lot of different pieces." That statement alone indicates that the team is ready to move on from having Matt Schaub or Case Keenum as the starting quarterback. Keenum got eight starts when Schaub folded early in the season, but the team lost all eight of them.
The general manager from the Houston Texans also weighed in on these 2014 NFL Draft trade rumors, stating that, "I don't think you take a particular position just because you need a particular position at any point in the draft, especially the first pick." Maybe this is all a ploy to see what another team would offer up for that first overall selection, but it could also be a strong hint that the team likes what Johnny Manziel has to offer. He is a quarterback that might be available further down in the first round.

I told you it was simple didn't I? Well, It is. I buy the cards off the Auction House. I check the AH twice everyday for cheap cards and I check both factions. I've managed to get cards as cheap as 700g by doing so. Once I have a full deck completed, I make it and sell it in trade chat.
I've built decks for as cheap as 8300g ( 1037g per card ) and I've sold them for 22, 23.5, and 24k. It's so easy, it just requires about 10,000g and some patience. Patience being the keyword, The few decks that I've built have taken me about a week to get. Why? Because I'm waiting for the right price to buy the cards that I need. Some cards might take longer to obtain than others, but you simply need to have patience.
Try it out guys, slowly build a deck of your own ( DON'T Pick the earthquake deck - It sells horrible ) for cheap, once you've got the deck complete, sell it for a profit. It's easy, simply & a very effective method of making gold.

Valentine's Day Masquerade fundraiser for Wish Come True Society
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than by going to the Valentine's Day Masquerade at Mission Hall on February 16th. What makes this dance special is it is a fundraiser for the Wish Come True Society. The concept was started in 2001 when Brad Krauza's family and friends decided to raise money for families of children with terminal illness. In 2012, it became the Wish Come True Society whose vision is to build a Respite Centre/Hospice House for Children in Kelowna. Today the society is made up of local business people including Brad Krauza, Angie Huber, Trish Eddy-Wright, Wendy Weller, Shaun Bos, and Calum Hughes.
Too many families suffer great financial hardship, having to quit jobs and incur huge expense traveling to Vancouver to Canuck Place for their child's final stages of life. Having a Hospice House in Kelowna would allow children to pass with dignity, and be close to their loved ones. They could even be allowed to go home on a day pass and spend time in familiar surroundings with family, friends, pets, and favorite toys.
A big supporter of Wish Come True, Les Bellamy of Bellamy Homes, is sponsoring the pizza for the event on February 16th. Power 104.7 and Q Radio as well as The View Winery, SW-Audio, T-Rex Excavating and Haworth Jewellers have come on board as sponsors to make this event a success.
So come on out and dance the night away with music by the Young'uns. Doors open 8 p.m. and the dance goes until 1:00 a.m. Purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize donated by Haworth Jewellers, and there will be a 50/50 draw, as well. Tickets are $25 and available at wishcometruesociety.com and Westland Insurance on Lakeshore.
If you are unable to attend and would like to make a donation, please email [email protected]

Buy a power graphics card it only costs this and that and play any games you want!
Well my question is if I have an old processor, say Pentium 4, with a lot of HDD for space to games and if I install a recognized powerful latest graphics card will I be able to play those strong games?
I.E. no matter what processor a system has, will the expensive graphics card take over and allow all current games to run?

Mold Test Kit
After any type of water damage, the potential for mold growth quickly becomes a concern. Mold will deteriorate the indoor air quality in any environment. Use this test to determine the extent of mold and water damage that exists before, during and after the cleaning process. This test provides a quick and easy way to get determine if there is a problem with immediate results!
How Does It Work?
The Benefect Microbial Test detects the presence of dangerous toxic mold spores and allergen contaminants on surfaces by measuring protein residues. You simply swab a surface, release the reagent and if residue is present the swab will turn purple. The color change provides a semi-quantitative measure of the surface cleanliness. The more contamination present, the quicker the color changes to purple and the darker the color. The Benefect Microbial Test quickly validates the hygiene of a surface allowing immediate corrective action to be taken if necessary, before you call in an Industrial Hygienist.

Anthony Bourdain returned to CNN on Sunday night offering a glimpse of the world through the food we eat. The season premiere of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown kicked off on CNN. Offering up a glimpse at food, a visual of the landscape and a local guide, once again viewers got to enjoy Anthony's journey even though we couldn't eat the food. According to Broadway World on Sunday, here are eight new episodes scheduled on CNN with the host going all over the world.
The Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown debuted with a look at life in Punjab, India. Offering up some impressive food, the locals seemed excited to follow the CNN cameras as Bourdain walked around. Viewers got to see a sampling cuisine at the dhabas (the roadside restaurants), a Gurpurb Festival (which is a Sikh celebration) and a free community vegetarian restaurant that offers up food to hundreds of people daily. Sharing a look at the streets and the beauty of the area, the chance to be part of the moment drew viewers in. Even the history lesson about the area offered up a great insight on how the people live.
The storytelling on this series is absolutely impressive. Viewers really have Anthony to thank as he tells the story on the journey effortlessly while sampling the food along the way. Add the impressive camera work, the scenic views and the local guide who offers tales about the area and it is hard to turn away from the show.
The return of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown is a welcomed change for CNN's line up. Anthony Bourdain definitely has a larger than life persona when it comes to telling the stories. While some viewers might suggest this type of show might be better suited for PBS or Discovery channel, the show has become extremely popular for CNN.
Next week Anthony Bourdain returns back to the USA and heads to Las Vegas to check out the food off the strip. He is expected to share some of the little known locations found in Sin City.

Clustering of the intertidal snail Batillaria minima
While in Florida 2 weeks ago, I spent quite some time collecting data on the intertidal snail Batillaria minima. In the 2 beaches where I was studying them, the distributions of these snails were often patchy: there would be areas 2-3 meters wide where I would see none of them and then there would be a cluster of 50 or 100 snails.
I kept some snails in captivity for a few days. I noticed that captive snails also had a tendency to aggregate. I carried out some simple, preliminary experiments by piling the snails up in the centers of containers and then monitoring their behavior over time.
Here are the photographic records of one such experiment. Initially, there were 40 snails around the center of a box whose bottom measured approximately 11x12 cm.
7 minutes later:
24 minutes later a large aggregate had formed against the top wall:
56 minutes later, the aggregate along the top wall was still there; in addition, there were 2 smaller clusters (or 1 diffuse cluster) along the left wall:
I think the clusters were fluid in that snails continuously moved in and out of them, but because the individual snails were not marked in these experiments, I don't have data to support that claim. I saved that experiment for a future trip to Florida.

PAULA Walker's introduction to the bobsleigh was memorable for all the wrong reasons - she was left terrified, battered and bruised and vowed never to climb in one again.
As far as she was concerned, her bobsleigh days were over and soon as they had begun, such was the bad experience of her inaugural run.
The Lance Corporal in the Royal Signals was only doing it as a favour' to help out one of her army colleagues out and bitten by the bug' she certainly wasn't.
"I was absolutely terrified," remembers the 20-year-old from Blackburn.
"It was one of the worst experiences of my life.
"I was left black and blue and I thought there is no way I am going to do that again.
"A friend of mine basically begged me to train with her because her partner was missing.
"So next thing I knew I was speeding down the run being thrown all over the place. It was a complete nightmare."
Hurtling down an icy slope at 90mph was never something that appealed to Paula, a former pupil at St Bedes High School. She wasn't even much of a snow person.
"I had no interest in the bobsleigh whatsoever," admitted Paula. "I hadn't even been skiing before."
Paula could have been forgiven for walking away from the bobsleigh forever but how things from changed.
For far from waving goodbye to the Formula One of ice', Paula is now a member of the Great Britain bobsleigh team and flies out to America later this week to prepare for the World Cup which begins in Calgary in Canada at the end of the month.
Paula will compete in the two man bob as brakeswoman where she is responsible for giving her team a blistering start before keeping her head down while her team-mate steers.
"I really thought that I wasn't going to go anywhere near a bobsleigh again but I partnered Jackie Davies and the run was a lot smoother and I was persuaded to enter trials for the Great Britain team."
Given that many former athletes make the transition from the running track to the bobsleigh run, Paula had the perfect sporting background.
For the sport is often described as needing the power and co-ordination of an international rugby pack negotiating the high hurdles - in scrum formation - on ice!
As a rugby playing heptathlete, Paula is ideally suited.
"I have always been sporty and always knew I would be involved in sport but I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be the bobsleigh.
"But the secret of the bobsleigh is power, pace and speed. Thanks to my background in rugby and athletics I have had the perfect training.
"The 200m and shot put were always my two favourite disciplines in the heptathlon," added Paula who used to train with Blackburn Harriers Athletics Club.
"So the explosive power of the sprints and the strength needed in the shot put have certainly worked to my advantage."
However, despite her raw talents, Paula flies out to the World Cup as a complete novice.
For apart from the Army Championships, she has never taking part in a big competition.
"I'm really looking forward to the World Cup series but I am a little nervous.
"Apart from a few Army events, I have never raced competitively.
"So this is really a case of being thrown in at the deep end."
The World Cup series begins in Calgary on November 27 with two further rounds in the US before moving to Europe in the New Year.
There is also the small matter of the World Championships in St Moritz in February.
"I can't quite believe I am preparing to take part in these major events.
"It's quite incredible when you consider the training facilities we have and we only get to use the ice a couple of months a year.
Paula and the rest of the Great Britain squad concentrate much of their training at Bath University where a specially made bobsleigh run has been built.
She trains alongside Kristan Bromley, the skeleton bob Olympian from Rossendale.
In fact, the company run by Bromley and his brother Richard, are designing the runners that will hopefully guide them to success during the forthcoming season.
While her immediate aim is to do well in the forthcoming World Cup, her ultimate aim is the next Winter Olympics.
She said: "The Winter Olympics has to be my big goal.
"I am only 20 now and they are only four years away so hopefully I can stay in the team and continue to impress the coaches."
However, funding could be the main key as to whether she carries on in the sport.
She said: "Funding is the main obstacles. I get some kit off Adidas but no training gear or funding for travel and accommodation.
"It would be brilliant if there were any local companies out there who will like to help with my funding."
Anyone who thinks they could help should contact Paula Walker on 07923 203875.

2013 Football Schedule Announced
Yellow Jackets will play two games as part of ESPN Thursday night package
Feb. 25, 2013
PDF of #ACCFB13 composite schedule
PDF of #ACCFB13 team-by-team schedule
THE FLATS --- Seven home games, including dates with both ACC newcomers, and two nationally-televised Thursday night games highlight the 2013 Georgia Tech football schedule, released Monday by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
In what will be a season-long celebration of 100 seasons of football on Grant Field, the Yellow Jackets will host Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the two newest members of the ACC. Georgia Tech;s other two home ACC games come against Coastal Division rivals North Carolina and Virginia Tech. The Jackets will close the regular season against in-state rival Georgia in the 108th meeting between the two schools.
The Yellow Jackets' five road games include a return trip to Clemson and games at BYU, Miami, Duke and Virginia. Tech will play at Clemson for the second straight year.
Two Tech games -- vs. Virginia Tech (Sept. 26) and at Clemson (Nov. 14) -- will be ESPN Thursday night affairs.
Georgia Tech opens the season at home Aug. 31 against Elon from the Southern Conference. The Yellow Jackets have an open date the following Saturday, then begin a stretch of playing four consecutive ACC Coastal Division opponents -- at Duke (Sept. 14), vs. North Carolina (Sept. 21), vs. Virginia Tech (Thursday, Sept. 26) and at Miami (Oct. 5) -- including three games over a stretch of 13 days. The Jackets' Thursday night game against Virginia Tech comes just five days after playing North Carolina.
Since 2005, when the ACC initiated a conference championship game, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech are the only teams to represent the Coastal Division in the title game.
Following the Virginia Tech game, the Yellow Jackets play back-to-back road games at Miami (Oct. 5), where Tech has not won since 2007, and at BYU (Oct. 12).
After the game at BYU, Tech will play just two road games after October 12th, including just one outside of a two and a half-hour drive from Atlanta.
Syracuse visits Georgia Tech for the first time ever Oct. 19 in the first ACC game between the Yellow Jackets and Orange. Tech travels to Virginia Oct. 26 looking for just its second win in Charlottesville since 1990. Pittsburgh comes to Grant Field Nov. 2 for the first time since 1976, when Tony Dorsett was enjoying a Heisman Trophy season for the Panthers.
After Tech's second open date on Nov. 9, the Yellow Jackets will travel to Clemson for the second straight year, this one coming on a Thursday night (Nov. 14), wrapping up the ACC season.
"There is always a sense of excitement when the schedule is finally released. From a fans' perspective, our home schedule is a good one, with four ACC opponents and Georgia coming to Atlanta," head coach Paul Johnson said. "The two Thursday night games give us an opportunity for great exposure against two really good opponents."
Tech's final two regular season games come at home against non-conference opponents -- Alabama A&M (Nov. 23), which the Jackets will play for the first time, and Georgia (Nov. 30), which will play Georgia Tech for the 108th time.
Because Tech plays two FCS opponents -- Elon and Alabama A&M -- the Yellow Jackets will need to win a minimum of seven games to become bowl-eligible for the 17th consecutive season.
Game times will be determined later.
The Yellow Jackets begin spring practice March 25. The annual spring game will be held on Friday night, April 19th.
Football season tickets for 2013 will go on sale to the general public Wednesday and start at just $190. Visit ramblinwreck.com/tickets for more information.
Schedule Notes:
-- Ten of Georgia Tech's 12 opponents won six games or more last season.
-- The Yellow Jackets' first three games come against teams from the state of North Carolina.
-- Georgia Tech played in an ESPN Thursday night game for 19 consecutive years before that streak was snapped last season (the Yellow Jackets played in an ESPN game on Labor Day night at Virginia Tech).
-- The Yellow Jackets have played two games with a short turn-around before, including last season when Tech played at Virginia Tech on a Monday, then hosted Presbyterian on Saturday. Tech, however, has not played two conference games with a five-day turn-around since 2001.
-- Georgia Tech's ACC opener comes against Duke for the first time since 1994 and the Jackets will play their first ACC game in Durham for the first time.
-- Games 2-5 all come against ACC Coastal Division opponents.
-- When Tech plays back-to-back road games at Miami (Oct. 5) and BYU (Oct. 12), the Yellow Jackets will fly a combined 4,342 miles. Tech will go from playing at sea level (at Miami) to playing at 4,500 feet above sea level the following week (at BYU).
-- Tech will play on the road just once after October 26th and that game -- at Clemson (Nov. 14) -- is within driving distance of the Flats.
-- The Jackets' game against Clemson (Nov. 14) falls later in the calendar than any season since 1945.
-- With two Thursday night games on the schedule, there will be four Saturdays this fall when Georgia Tech does not play.
-- The Yellow Jackets have won six straight and 13 of their last 14 home openers.
-- The Yellow Jackets will play two nationally-televised Thursday night games in the same season for the first time since 2009 when they beat visiting Clemson (30-27) and lost on the road against Miami (17-33).

"I'm going to bring nerd to Hollywood," joked Hoelzer, who has a Masters from Harvard University and is fluid in the arcana of Wyden's world: Medicare reform, intelligence oversight and county timber payments.
Hoelzer, who has worked for Wyden since 2006, now gets to ponder how to make a bigger splash for the film institute, which is the Hollywood equivalent of the Library of Congress and a prestigious think tank.
The institute works on film preservation, promotes the great films of the past, hands out prestigious awards and also runs a school for aspiring filmmakers. Instead of late-night budget standoffs, Hoelzer is contemplating a different kind of evening event.
"I have to go to Cannes," she said. "A really hard life."

The victim's father, who is not named in the warrant, contacted LSU campus police to confirm that his son was the man in the video. LSU police then relayed the information to the New Orleans Police Department, who has been handling the case.
NOPD officials have identified two people in the video and conducted independent interviews with the witnesses on Wednesday, who confirmed they were present during the incident.
Earlier on Friday, Alabama resident Brian Downing, who is accused of being the assailant in the video, drove to New Orleans to do just that. He spent Thursday night in the Orleans Parish jail; his bond was set at $10,000 Friday morning. He was released shortly afterward.

A Chesapeake Home-Turned…Lighthouse?
From Margaret Everton on April 8, 2010 in Washington DC
The Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse has stood as an architectural beauty and beacon of light for the South River portion of the Chesapeake Bay since 1875. So it seemed appropriate that this riverside home would receive a top-to-bottom renovation in its honor.
The owners purchased the home in 1997 and became increasingly unhappy with its original contemporary style. But with the help of Hammond Wilson Architects, they were able to give the structure an amazing nautical makeover, complete with an addition and reconfiguration of the existing rooms.
Once the rooms were restructured to use the available space in the most functional manner possible, square footage was no object. On the ground floor, they had space for a mudroom, full bath, billiard room and an impressive home theater system. This level also opens to an ample backyard complete with a pool, spa, kitchen and fireplace.
The second floor holds a library, dining room, living room, conservatory and bar area. As if that werent enough, it also houses a family room and kitchen with a breakfast nook. The third floor, however, with the addition of dormers to the existing structure, really helped in achieving the look of the lighthouse. They not only added space to their sons bedrooms, but also allowed for a loft space with 360-degree views of the Chesapeake.
When it came time to decorate their newly remodeled home, they hired Jane-Page Crump. She successfully brought out the classic elegance of the home by adding dark wood touches throughout each room, as well as crown molding and spiral staircases. But while the interior may be beautiful in its own right, at night, the exterior simply takes your breath away.

The Minneapolis glitterati were in attendance at Glamorama on Friday, August 1st at the Historic State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis for the Macy's Passport annual event that benefits Children's Cancer Research Fund. The "FASHION ROCKS" theme for 2014, with its 42 runway models, 150 outfits, eight kid dancers in Hello Kitty, three-ramp stage, 589,824-pixel screen, 25 bottles of makeup remover, 18-bar after party at Macy's 8th Floor, and 80 fashion professionals all glittered and flashed so much so that was easy to forget that this is the middle of the Midwest.
As for the music, ahem, performances, the glitz was glowing, but that was about it.
iHeart Radio's Rising Star winners Before You Exit played their contest-winning hit "I like that." Or did they? More than once there was such excitement exuding from the pre-pubescent group and their tween support band that it appeared they were a little too wrapped up in the moment to remember to keep playing. Oh well, good thing the music kept blaring through the speakers. Plus, they had plenty of energy, and the lights were fantastic.
Jason Derulo, who has enjoyed a nice boost in his career with his summer hit "Wiggle," followed. No one can say the man isn't engaged as a performer. He moved and glided his way across the stage with the rhythm of any professional hip hop dancer, and even gingerly chastised the audience for not responding with the expected "Wiggle wiggle wiggle" when he posed, "I got one question. How'd you fit all that in them jeans? You know what to do with that big fat butt." Unfortunately, the manipulation tactics that create catchy and popular tracks in well-stocked studios don't always translate to good live performance repertoire, as was absolutely the case here. And, sadly, as with his junior counter-part openers, there was more than one moment of "his mouth isn't moving, and yet I hear his voice over the PA..."
As devil's advocate, its important to remember that with big multi-media events, there exists the tricky balance of logistics: get models off stage, get performers on stage, cables, amps, instruments, props, endless meters of wiring and many wireless receiver boxes. Production teams are charged with the challenging task of minimizing the risk of performance failure or show-stopping snafu. And sadly, for the world of music, often the "live" part of the "performance" gets a back seat. Without the proper information as to whose call it was to play pre-recorded tracks instead of having real live performances, its difficult to point a finger.
But oh how sad that even at large events which boast to be at the cutting edge of fashion, pop culture, and performance arts, its more like a batch of dolls playing pretend while they dance along to the noises from the boom box.

You may love your snuggly kittycat, but that doesn't mean you enjoy scooping her poo! The sleek-looking Flip Litter Box ($120) from Modko probably won't change that, but it will make scooping days go a little quicker. The magnetic top folds over once for easy access to the box underneath. Fold it over again for a mess-free full litter change. Popping on and off a cumbersome box hood is a thing of the past.

This is the continuation of An Evening With Junk.
Once again members of Creative Photography "Following the Journey" class went on a photo shoot with their instructor Mieke van Geest to Kimco Steel on John Counter Blvd. in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The rules were simple. Shoot for 2 hours, photograph anything and everything that caught your eye, meet back at the main entrance as we had to be let out by the night watchman.
Shot in Camera Raw and processed in the "dark room" of Adobe Lightroom 2.0 this is what I saw on that shoot.

Police in Houson Texas arrested 2 people on Thursday, August 16- (Ashley Nicole Richards and Brent Wayne Justice)- for making least 27 videos of animals being tortured and killed.
The videos are called "crush" videos, and are made to satisfy a viewer's sexual fetish. "Crush" videos usually show attractive young women torturing and crushing baby animals with high heels, screwdrivers, knives, pliers and meat cleavers.
Even though there were 27 videos, because of Texas state law, the District Attorney can only charge the couple with two counts of animal cruelty, because the state does not allow "stacking". Under Texas law, the crime would be a State Jail Felony, there is only a maximum sentence of two years and a $2,000 fine.
If the case is tried in Federal Court, it could bring a seven year sentence and $10,000 fine. We ask U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas Court to investigate and file federal charges, as oppose to state charges.

Prior to last night's game between the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL's first game back from the Olympic break, Buffalo's general manager Tim Murray spoke about the likeliness of trading his 33-year-old goaltender, Ryan Miller, before the March 5 trade deadline.
According to Murray, between two and 10 NHL teams have inquired about Miller and after last night's performance, where Miller made 36 saves and collected two assists, most of those teams are likely ringing Murray again this morning.
"The route we are looking at is to get value for him. To put him in a position to succeed," Tim Murray said according to Buffalo TV station WKBW yesterday. "Our goal right now is to pursue a proper trade."
Miller, who was drafted by Buffalo in 1999, will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and as he approaches the twilight of his career, he has reached the point where doing what's best for him may be leaving the great city of Buffalo where he has been his entire NHL career.
"I know what I think his first choice would be and I don't think signing here is his first choice at his age with where we are at."
Season after season the Sabres seem to be in a continuing rebuild and season after season, things seem to just get worse. For Miller, the regression isn't exactly enticing.
"I'm going to be 34 this year and let's be realistic, there's only a handful of guys who've played effectively longer into their 30s," Miller told Buffalo News. "I'd like to be one of those guys but there's no guarantees."
Backstopping for a lowly Sabres team, Miller has been the only bright spot on yet another dull season, posting a .923 save percentage and a 2.72 goals-against average. In 40 games this season, he is 15-22-3. The Sabres have won just 16 games total thus far.
"I'm not going to close anything off because maybe as we go through there's some things that change here but the things that they're going to have to do are probably going to come during the trade deadline and maybe I'm one of them, and they're going to come during the draft and free agency."
However the Sabres rebuild happens, be it free agency or on the draft room floor, Ryan Miller will definitely be a part of it. This time though his contributions won't come from the crease, but rather by leaving the only NHL locker room he has ever known, with the Sabres getting assets they can use to finally turn a corner within their organization.
