Garner HS Football championship game televised live

Garner Magnet High School's state 4AA championship football game today against Greensboro Page is being televised live on News 14 Carolina.

News 14 Carolina is owned by Time Warner Cable and free to all Time Warner Cable customers.

Go Trojans!

Feed your brain some science at today's State Fair

You can always feed your brain while you feed your belly at the fair. That's never been more true than today, when your kids can catch a bunch of interesting science stuff going on all day long at the Time Warner Cable tent.

Things kicked off a little while ago with experiments from NC Science Festival's "Science LIVE!" demonstration. That will happen again at Noon and 1 p.m.

At 11:30 a.m., meteorologists Gary Stephenson and Lee Ringer from News 14 Carolina explain how tornadoes and other weather systems work, and answer weather questions from the kids. They'll do that all over again at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 4:30 p.m.

Another big event today is from FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2059: the Hitchhikers will display their Rockin' Robots with a student-led demonstration. The Hitchhikers are an FRC team from Cary. That happens at 2 p.m. and again at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

In between all that (at 3 p.m.), The NC Museum of Natural Sciences will do a presentation on fossils. Kids can see and touch bones, shark teeth, and other prehistoric fossils.

It's all part of Time Warner Cable's "Connect a Million Minds" initiative.

Get your fireworks fix on the tube

If your town has canceled their fireworks, either to save money or because of dangerous drought conditions, you can still catch the pyrotechnic action -- and stay cool!

Time Warner Cable has fireworks on their Carolina On Demand channels 199 and 1047 (check the ‘All New’ tab under ‘Seasonal’). The fireworks display has a beach scene backdrop and you can choose from patriotic music or the popping, exploding sounds.

It should be popular since the channel's top viewed program in 2010 was the On Demand Holiday Yule Log.

And you can watch the On Demand fireworks anytime.
