Lifeline Quote of the Day: "Nothing I want to do warrants being famous." -Female, 25, CA
Japanese company Tokyoflash has created a product essential for every college age Millennial: a $99 watch with a built-in breathalyzer.

Young Gen Y guys just entering the workforce now have a solution to their wallet woes: Combat Gent. The new e-commerce clothing retailer just gained over $1.5 million in funding for their high-quality, low-cost approach to menswear targeted at recent grads. By sourcing their own materials and production, Combat Gent can price low, with shirts at $25 and suits at $160. (TechCrunch)
MTV's new study has found that "Millennials cannot be viewed as a monothilic block," since those ages 14 to 17 feel different than their older counterparts. 60% of younger Millennials believe that they will be worse off than their parents, but teens are responding with resilience toward the future and "preparing to win in the game of life." (MediaPost)
Kanye West is hailed as "the most exciting and unpredictable music maker working in America today" following the much anticipated release of his album Yeesus. This record is intensely personal, serving up a grittier and more abrasive style that "brushes away expectations" and "sticks you squarely across the face." (Pretty Much Amazing)
Many young adults today may not understand the true stance of conservative and liberal parties, and those who label themselves as conservative may be more liberal than they think. In a study among college students, liberal Democrats significantly overestimated their liberalism, while those identifying as conservative underestimated their liberal beliefs. (Salon)
Lifeline Quote of the Day: "Sanuk and Justin's Nut Butter are two of my favorite advertisers. They are non-intrusive, witty, down-to-earth, and engage customers in contests and conversations." -Female, 22, MD
Millennials are pop-star obsessed. The success of pop idols in 2013 like Beyonce, JT, 1D, TSwift, Rihanna, and more is "inextricably linked" with their media saturation, each one is involved in cultivating their identity for social media consumption. Movie stars are virtually nonexistent on social media, and by definition of their jobs "rarely themselves," failing to provide fans with the authentic, insta-coverage they desire. (Vulture)
11% of American children ages 4 to 17 have ADHD, diagnosed with symptoms like "difficulty remaining focused" and "often fidgets."

This medicine-heavy approach promotes pills instead of teaching children "vital coping skills to manage their behavior." (WSJ)
Foursquare has made time travel possible, if only in the virtual sense, by illustrating user check-ins as colorful interactive maps. Their "Time Machine" feature turns basic locations' statuses into a visually stimulating experience, with music and flying saucer transitions.

Teens on the hunt for employment are in a tough spot, "competing with three or four generations for the same jobs." Job seekers in today's market outnumber available positions by more than 10 times, but teens have positive traits to offer, with flexible schedules and lower pay expectations compared to older competitors. (Fay Observer)

Lifeline Quote of the Day: "You can be famous for almost anything, just depends on your definition of 'fame.'" –Female, 28, MO
Changes in the digital space have opened up new jobs that did not exist ten years ago: meet the Community Manager. CM's are "the social voice of a brand," solely responsible for creating and implementing social media strategies, and Millennials are filling many of these positions. Brands are taking a risk by entrusting young employees with their entire social media presence, but Gen Y has the advantage, versed in technology and innately comfortable online. (Forbes)

Lifeline Quote of the Day: "I don't really think there are any brands that do too great of a job advertising to people my age. Too many seem to try too hard; either offending some folks for the shock value or being so tame that their advertising is completely lame." –Male, 26, WI
Millennial drivers use mobile phones 2.5 times more than non-Millennials when car shopping, and auto brands are turning to digital, social media, and car-sharing to lure them in.

Are Millennial women redefining ambition in the workplace? Only 15% of Millennial women want to be the leader of a prominent organization or start-up, with 71% gearing their ambitions elsewhere; and road blocks like the inability to balance a career with parenting lead nine in ten Millennial women to agree that female leaders have to make more sacrifices than their male counterparts.

(UPROXX)

(Adweek)
One third of voters in the 2016 presidential election will be comprised of Gen Y, yet distrust of the government throughout the generation is high due to lack of transparency. Only 26% of Millennials say they can trust the government "always" or "most of the time," a stark difference from 44% in 2004. (Policymic)
Gay male Millennials might be coming out in a more accepting and culturally transparent society, but they still have stereotypes to deal with. The stereotype of being a "Gay Best Friend" to a straight girl is being humorously explored in the new film G.B.F., which finds a tongue-in-cheek way to show how young gay people can be objectified. (Viacom)
Food & Wine is taking a risk in marketing this year's Food & Wine classic in Aspen, enlisting not food bloggers, but interior and design bloggers and photographers to cover the event. These creative minds will contribute to the magazine's Tumblr page, documenting the event from a unique point of view. (Adweek)
Millennials are obsessed with content, a fact illustrated by the immense popularity of BuzzFeed.

(TechCrunch)
Lifeline Quote of the Day: "Unfortunately, it seems that my generation has become almost victims of this recession. In some cases, we were kids when everything first started and then we started hearing the phrase, 'Sorry honey we don't have money for that today' more and more. Teens are less likely to get their drivers licenses because they know they can't get a car. Some are being forced to support the family because their family can't pay the bills." –Female, 16, CA

The debate on which console will be triumphant is already raging. (The Atlantic Wire)
It's often said that young Millennials and the next generation are more comfortable playing with digital devices than anything else, but that doesn't mean that low-tech toys have disappeared. Melissa & Doug toys, which makes classic toys like play kitchens and wooden blocks, has seen their business grow by double digits every year, with no touch screens and no tie-ins. (NYTimes)
The validity of the cord-cutting movement may still be questioned by some, but it's clear that Millennials are continuing to change the entertainment arena.

i would like to add two things to this machine.which is a network card with bluetooth adapter ans wihd transmitter, since i believe there r small enough to fit in and we can find it in most laptop. furthermore x51 has limited usb port, rather then wasting it to plug in a dongle n a external wihd transmitter. now lcd we have wireless, even bluetooth keyboard, mouse, headset and speaker we can get it anywhere or maybe dell can produce it's own to package it.less wired, so that we can design the space better? or even to place it in a safety place to reduce the accident like water spill, or maybe we can even hide it in the drawer(IF the cooling system have improved from idea of rocket stigtrix) so we make sure nobody gonna touch or disturb it. depending on people preferanceimagine x51 a small machine with less wired i can just put where i want, i like, i love, and i happy withso why not a first 99% wireless gaming desktop from alienware?but obviously 1% goes to power supplyi guess that's it thanks for reading

I am looking into purchasing a Dell XPS 18, the only drawback I have right now is that it has only 2 USB ports and the only thing that is missing for me is either a Thunderbolt/HDMI port. Is there a possibility that this will be integrated soon?Thank you.
Categories: Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops,
Wonder if you can include inbuild buletooth in desk top also.
Categories: Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops, New Product Ideas,
this is a monitor i designed and it needs some tweaking like internals and such, this is only a external design because i dont know how to design internals so if this ever was to come into production someone would have to create those. i put 4 hdmi ports, 3 usb 3.0 ports and 3 thunderbolt ports to maimize the limits of what you can possibly do with it ( if its too many you can just remove some i dont care :D) anyway hope you like it :D please see it dell :)
Categories: Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops, New Product Ideas,
I really want Dell to create a unique charger for laptops and tablets. We have the wireless chargers, fine! but how about a charger that charges a laptop or tablet and still charges itself while at the same time it supplies electric energy to the Laptop or tablet.The world wants a charger that powers a laptop/tablet, charges a laptop/tablet battery, then still charges itself and retains power, so that when there's a power failure or no available electricity the Laptop/tablet does not stop charging or remains dead rather the charger sustains the laptop for about 5 hours or more before it dies. Its like a UPS in a charger, that can be carried about. People can also plug the charger allowing it to charge itself when a Laptop/Tablet battery is full. Its just a way of conserving energy for computer users.

I read recently that the worlds population spends over 500,000 hours a day typing Internet security codes.What a waste of time.I suggest a simple solution .A small screen on the keyboard which reads your fingerprint.The owner of the computer would decide whose users prints are filed and secured on the computer.The filed print record would allow users to access several designated files as desired.Only the user would have access to his/her print file for use and the files security would be important. I also thought that as we have 10 fingers 10secure instant codes could be used by users.Result more secure efficient secure use of computer time.

if you have a laptop you know what I am talking, but they dont want the laptop to fall when someone walks into the cord. So they could add a small ballbearing to the plug that will keep it in place, but it will still pull out easily.

Recently a key broke off from my fairly new laptop. The warranty had just expired days earlier. I was shocked when I called the dell service desk, and they said the only option would be to send in my laptop and spend $170 for a replacement keyboard. I had done research before I called, and found websites that sold the keys (Keys, the plastic support piece, and the rubber cup) for around $4. When I told the Dell rep that I was going to peruse this other website for the replacement piece, he got angry and said "There is no website in the world that you can buy individual laptop keys from". I ordered the key, and it came a few days later. Worked like a charm.I find it hard to believe that it is impossible to buy the laptop keys from dell. I understand that older models would not be available. I would have much rather purchased this from dell, over some random website. In the end, this website came through like a champ, and I came away with a sour experience with dell.

Fewer seeds and firmer fruit make them ideal for canning and they are the chef's choice for tomato sauces. Harvested fully red ripe, organic EDEN tomatoes travel only 45 miles to the cannery to be packed within hours of harvest for maximum nutrients, aroma, and flavor. EDEN Sauerkraut is hand-harvested organic cabbage, fermented the old world way with EDEN Sea Salt for at least six weeks. Generations of experience, traditional methods, and one family's care and skill from field to jar, give EDEN sauerkraut its value and sought-after character.

6 Steps to College Financial Aid Through a FAFSA Application
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Even as the price of college tuition rises significantly, Americans still believe the path to success in life is through the ivy-covered walls of U.S. colleges and universities.
According to Sallie Mae, 83% of U.S. families say a college degree is an "investment in the future." Another 69% say college is the "path to earning more money" in life.
But Sallie Mae also says 69% of American families eliminated the college of their choice because of the high cost, the highest percentage in five years.
One way to increase your odds of getting enough money to attend your school of choice is through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
"The FAFSA is the key to unlocking the financial aid that's so important to students and families," says Joe DePaulo, executive vice president of Sallie Mae.
The FAFSA application is used to calculate eligibility for federal collegiate financial aid, including grants and loans, and aid from states and colleges and universities -- a critical first step in Sallie Mae's "one-two-three" approach to properly researching all possible forms of college financial aid. (Go to FAFSA.org for more detailed information on how FAFSA works.)
Jan. 1 is the kickoff date for completing the form, and Sallie Mae has a few tips for students and families to maximize the opportunity:
- Review all possible grants and scholarships. (Visit Scholarships.com.)
- Review all possible federal student loans. (Visit the Federal Student Aid website.)
- Review all private college loans. (PrivateStudentLoans.com is a good clearinghouse.)
You'll need to fill out your FAFSA form to find out how much college financial aid you qualify for. To do that right, Sallie Mae advises three key steps:
Gather necessary information. Collect the documents with the information you'll need to complete the application, such as student and parent driver's licenses, the latest federal income tax returns, W-2 forms, bank statements, investment information and Social Security numbers.

What Have These Ultra-Orthodox Jews Got Against Honoring Holocaust Victims?
Have you ever felt you knew less about a news item after you read an article about it? That's the state in which an article at Haaretz by Oz Rosenberg and Chaim Levenson on June 26 left us. It was bedecked with a title that was puzzling as it was provocative: Three ultra-Orthodox men arrested for vandalizing Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
As if that wasn't enough cognitive dissonance, the reporters explained that the three suspects (ages 18, 26, and 27) were not only accused of vandalizing the memorial as well as another in April (Jerusalem's Ammunition Hill memorial site), but their vandalism took the form of anti-Zionist slogans. It's strange enough for ultra-Orthodox Jews to be vandalizing Holocaust memorials, but anti-Zionist, too?
Working backward, since when do ultra-Orthodox Jews (haredim) stand in opposition to the Jewish state? Since 1938, it turns out, if they're part of Neturei Karta. Members of this sect walk like haredim and they talk like haredim, but, according to Neturei Karta International, their view of the Jewish state stands in stark contrast with most haredim.
Neturei Karta followers do not participate in "Israeli" elections nor do they accept any aid from "Bituach Le'Umi" (Social Security), and the educational institutions of the Neturei Karta reject any form of financial support from the [Department of Education].
In fact
Neturei Karta oppose the so-called "State of Israel" not because it operates secularly, but because the entire concept of a sovereign Jewish state is contrary to Jewish Law [and] in direct conflict with a number of Judaism's fundamentals. … The Talmud … teaches that Jews shall not use human force to bring about the establishment of a Jewish state before the coming of the universally accepted Moshiach [Messiah].
Furthermore, they believe:
Jews are not allowed to dominate, kill, harm or demean another people and [they are] against dispossessing the Arabs of their land and homes. According to the Torah, the land should be returned to them.
Returning to the Haaretz piece:
At least 10 slogans were found on the walls outside the museum, with slogans such as: "Hitler, thank you for the Holocaust", "If Hitler did not exist, the Zionists would have invented him", and "Zionists! You declared war on Hitler in the name of the Jewish people, you brought upon the Holocaust."
In fairness, presumably these young men were "rogue" Neturei Karta. Though Googling the phrases "Neturei Karta condemn Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial vandalism" and "Neturei Karta condemn Ammunition Hill memorial vandalism" returns nothing relevant. Why do they invoke Hitler?
After reading the quotes over a couple of times (okay, about ten), I finally began to appreciate their sense of irony. The first two quotes are meant to be read from the perspective of Zionists who are supposedly in debt to Hitler because the Holocaust helped them justify the creation of the Jewish state. The third is some variation on that which I was unable to grasp; we'll return to it. Anyway they seem like the extreme end of those who -- foremost among them Norman Finkelstein, author of The Holocaust Industry -- charge Israel with using the Holocaust to win sympathy and justify its aggression and oppression.
A friend who's a veteran Israel watcher agrees and notes that "it's really interesting what they've done."
In rightwing, Zionist discourse, "Hitler" lives, if only as a figure to use to justify negative treatment of the Palestinians.
But, he adds:
The Arab world, in [Zionist] worldview, is ideologically consistent with that of Hitlerian fascism, and its genocidal politics. Therefore Zionism continues to make war on Hitler and Nazism. [For the young men, it's] a sarcastic way of criticizing Bibi and his ilk, but irony is important to Jewish politics.
Regarding the third quote -- "Zionists! You declared war on Hitler in the name of the Jewish people, you brought upon the Holocaust." -- he writes:
Aside from it being a possible criticism of how mired in the 20th century the present government and its supporters are, it's also a potential double entendre, if you take Bibi's sabre rattling against Iran seriously. Any attack by Israel on Iran will result in massive civilian casualties in Israel, as well.
Substitute President Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Khameini for Hitler. Thus war with Iran
…may not be another Holocaust, but Israel has never suffered any substantial civilian casualties as a consequence of its military engagements, of that kind. This government risks that with its positioning on Iran. Therefore you could read the "responsibility for the Holocaust" rhetoric as though it were a warning. It would not be out of place.
What's ironic about it is that they're attributing responsibility for the rise of a new fascism and a new holocaust to Bibi, by placing him in the past. [Emphasis added.]
On the surface, Neturei Karta bear a certain resemblance to Reverend Fred Phelps and his Westboro (Kansas) Baptist Church members protesting at the funerals of war veterans with signs bearing slogans such as "Thank God for Dead Soldiers." But Neturei Karta deserves respect for its condemnation of Israeli oppression of Palestine.

The 41st Street intersection with Skelly Drive (I-44) is the scene of much congestion and a narrow bridge with a deteriorating bridge deck. Unlike most other I-44 intersections, 41st Street crosses the interstate instead of passing under it. The intersection also carries motorists from two arterial streets (Sheridan Road and 41st Street) who wish to access I-44 without using the Broken Arrow Expressway, as Sheridan Road has no direct access to I-44. The only "direct" access at Sheridan Road is the westbound frontage road, and motorists traveling this route must pass through the 41st Street intersection before accessing westbound I-44. A major problem at the intersection is the absence of separate left-turn lanes to access I-44, as the left-through lanes each handle through traffic or motorists wishing to turn left. The green left-turn arrow comes at the end of the cycle, so motorists often have to wait for it before they can make a left turn. There are no funds available to improve the intersection, so the traffic jams likely will be around for a while. Photo taken Novewmber 1983.

Joss Whedon Gossip
Joss Whedon gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
RDJ & Joss Whedon
Look, any time there are new Robert Downey Jr photos, I will always try to post them, even if there's nothing to say beyond...I love him so much. Today, though, there are new RDJ photos AND there's something new to say. Or, rather, it's what Joss Whedon has to say. Whedon is working on The Avengers 2. Full Story
Joss Whedon returns to TV
Wenn, Jemal Countess/ Getty
Joss Whedon, God of Nerds, was, pre-Avengers, best known for genre TV fare like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the criminally cancelled Firefly. Then Marvel came knocking and he hasn't had a TV show since Dollhouse (the one thing he's done that I could not make myself like) got canned in 2010. Full Story
TIFF Review: Much Ado About Nothing (and a few other things)
Sarjoun Faour Photography/ Todd Oren/ Getty
I've done this movie a great disservice and I feel very guilty about it. I sat down to watch Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing towards the end of the film festival. Bad idea. You see, what's both exciting and completely soul sucking about the Toronto International Film Festival is that there are always movies to see and places to be. Full Story
Joss Whedon, King of the Superheroes
For those of us who've been Joss Whedon fans since the Buffy days, those of us who've suffered through cancelled TV shows and canned film projects, Whedon's monster success with The Avengers is sweet. It's like saying—See, we told you this guy was good, we knew it all along. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
The Avengers premiered last night in LA and, as we do these days, there was a big ass race to get out the first reviews. The first reviews are really, really good. Click here for a sample. Oh I can feel all you Buffy/Joss Whedon fans inhaling with pride. Especially Duana. We all have our favourites that turn us into evangelists. Here's what I've noticed about Buffy fans though (and I've never watched an entire episode): none of the ones I've ever encountered, and I feel like I'm surrounded by them in my personal life, are super conversionists. It's like they shrug, smugly, as if to say, well you don't deserve to be part of our club anyway. Whedon has always seemed like just another member of that club, never the leader, which I suppose is part of that appeal. Read Full Intro

In Support of Native Plant Gardens
Native plant gardening is a wonderful way to connect with nature and to improve your piece of the planet, yet such gardens are not always appreciated by neighbours more interested in tending lawn and other Eurasian species. Ecological gardens are, however, on the rise and a new appreciation of their multi-dimensional aesthetic qualities is growing. In addition to being popular, practical and ecologically relevant, there are also legal protections for these important spaces.
For inspiration check out Deb C's garden, a supplement to the Summer 2012 edition of The Blazing Star, with glorious illustrations of a new Richmond Hill suburban garden turned into a heavenly habitat for wildlife.

Going into games this week, the Lady Bulldogs were 5-5 on the season.
In their first game after the Christmas break on Jan. 10, the Lady Bulldogs lost to Pepperell, 20-17.
"It was a heartbreaker," head coach Ashley Davis said. "We had a few chances in the last few minutes to tie it up, but we couldn't hit any of our shots."
Davis said that Tia Covington and Victoria Frazier both fouled out of the game.
"Another thing that hurt us was our free throws," Davis said. "We went to the line 17 times, but only made four."
In their next game against Darlington on Jan. 12, the young Cedartown squad lost 48-32.
"We had them in the first quarter, we were playing hard on both sides of the court," Davis said. "At the end of the first quarter it was eight to eight."
Unfortunately, Darlington outscored Cedartown 20-3 in the second quarter.
"We had a few key injuries in this game," Davis noted. "Tia went out in the second quarter with a hurt knee and Keely Smith was sidelined with a sprain ankle. These two girls are both starters and to see them hurt and on the bench deflated our team."
Davis did point out that Shana Abram and Frazier both played well in the Darlington game.
"Victoria had 13 points and Shana six," Davis said. "Ava Tillmann also played well, scoring eight points."
Cedartown did have their game against Coosa on Jan. 17 rescheduled due to snowy and icy weather.
On Jan. 21, the Lady Bulldogs got back into the win column by beating Chattooga 41-36.
"This was a very stressful and sloppy game for us," Davis said. "With Tia being hurt, we had to move some players around. Tillmann moved from a post position to a guard position. And she really did well during the game."
Davis said the Lady Bulldogs were losing 25-20 at halftime, but outscored Chattooga 9-4 in the third quarter to send the game into the final period tied at 29.
In the fourth quarter, Cedartown outscored Chattooga 12-7 to win the game.
"It was a very sloppy game on our part, but a win is a win," Davis said. "Frazier led us with 16 points. She attempted 16 free throws and made eight. Tillmann scored 12 and Smith hung in there for us and played every minute."
Davis also pointed out the defensive play of Blair Bedford and Allyson Barnett.
"In the third and fourth quarter, they really played well, stealing the ball multiple times," Davis said. "Barnett also got her first two points of the season."
The Lady Bulldogs will play at Rockmart on Saturday and against Coosa on Monday, before closing out the regular season on Thursday, Jan. 31, when they travel to Model for a league game.

CNY Sportsmans Show great gathering for outdoor enthusiasts
Oneida >> The 2013 CNY Sportsmans Show at the Kallet Civic Center was once again held to help raise funds for Holy Cross Academy. It also helped raise interest in the outdoors of at least one of its students.
"I want to learn to hunt bows and arrows," said Cristi Romero of Sherrill. "I don't know why, but it fascinates me."
Romero was with her family and hundreds of other outdoors, fishing and hunting enthusiasts. The 14-year-old HCA eighth grader enjoyed more than one of the exhibits.
"I held a baby alligator, a tarantula, two snakes, a baby turtle. I have an interest in nature and I'm a big animal lover," Romero said.
There were plenty of animals to see at the exhibit Mike West had in the middle of the Kallet. The owner of West Entities in Oneida, West showed off some of the animals he successfully hunted including an alligator, a huge grizzly bear, a reedbuck from Tanzania, a hyena, a baboon, a buffalo and a cape buffalo.
"I kill them all with a muzzle loader," West said as a handful of people awed at his display. "But the alligator I took with a bow and arrow."
There were plenty of bows on display at a variety of exhibits, as well as all things hunting and fishing related. Some of the exhibits were Fox's Custom Calls from Camden, The Rope Guys from Batavia, New York Outdoor News from Elizabethtown, Family Style Fishing Charters, Vanderhoof Custom Cabinetry and Worthington Kennels Dog Training Center.
One of the Trout Unlimited exhibits showed a young boy tying a fly while Ilion residents Kevin and Jo-Anne Murphy answered questions from people about their Three M Outdoor Adventure Boats in Oswego, Clayton and Cooperstown.
"So far, so good," Kevin said Saturday morning. "There's lots of talk and lots of questions answered."
"There's real sportsmen around here," Jo-Anne added. Continued...
Indeed. The Kallet was crowded with outdoorsmen of all ages. Exhibits like the one popular Adirondack hunters Pat and Tony Salerno ran were filled with people. Others, like the Bar-20 Cowboy Action Shooters from West Eaton, had a more modest but equally enthusiastic following.
"We have 62 members and we're the oldest club in the northeast," the club's past president Ralph Meyer said. His group meets at the Eatonbrook Rod and Gun Club and has shoots scheduled for Saturdays beginning in April. The International Defensive Pistol Association also has match dates starting in April at the club.
And for those with an even greater sense of adventure, the exhibit for Numzaan Safaris in Africa was being ably manned by Phil Stewart of Clay.
"We've had three from Canastota and two from Norwich (go)," Stewart said of the Safaris. Among the ones advertised were a 10-day event to hunt impala, wildebeest and warthog. That's costs $4,150 just for the safari. The seven-day lion hunt starts at $6,800 for female lions and $15,000 for male lions.
And there was an exhibit where people could sign up to go on an excursion to just look at deer.
"They have tours and they fill up fast," said Don Combs of Sauquoit of the New York State Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame's sponsored trips to see the white deer herd at the former Seneca Army Depot near Seneca Falls.
Combs was inducted into the HOF about 10 years ago and still promotes outdoor sports. Next to him was another outdoors expert, Leo Maloney of Lake Ontario Outdoors Magazine. Maloney explained many things, including the HOF building in Vail Mills.
"Bob Kazmeinski donated the space for it in his (Wildlife Sports & Educational Museum) building," Maloney said. "There's a lot of educational exhibits."
And there were plenty of those at the Kallet, along with some that were just plain fun, like the Utica Zoos presentation at 10:45 a.m. and the turkey and rabbit exhibit in the foyer. All were well attended, and enjoyed.
