Little free history library open in Queensbury

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:54 GMT

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - Take a book, leave a book. That's the idea behind little free libraries, like the one that opened earlier this year at Crandall Park in the city of Glens Falls. Now, a new one is open for readers of all stripes, close by a bastion of local and regional history. Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Last week, the Warren County Historical Society welcomed a little free library of its own, in front of its base of operations at 50 Gurney Lane in Queensbury. Like others of its kind, the library's purpose is to give anyone a chance to pick up something new to read - or leave a treasured tome for someone else. “You take one to read and leave one for another reader. It is a great way to circulate books you no longer want but others would enjoy,” said Warren County Historical Society Executive Director Don Rittner.The tradition of the tiny library started in 2009, in Hudson, Wisconsin. Started by Todd Bol and Rick...

Broncos stock report: Marvin Mims, Jr.’s ascension continues and the rest looks bleak after 50-point loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:54 GMT

Stock upMarvin Mims, Jr., the wide receiverThe rookie wideout in the past two games has been targeted seven times and has five catches for 186 yards and a touchdown. That’s 26.6 yards per target. And he’s done it despite playing just 31 snaps over that stretch. Not too shabby. The Broncos coaching staff so far hasn’t been willing to put the former Oklahoma standout on the field in more than part-time work. How much longer can that last? He’s Denver’s leading receiver through three games. He looks like the only player — outside of perhaps Jerry Jeudy as he gets healthy — that defensive coordinators are scared of on the Broncos offense.Marvin Mims, Jr., the kick returnerOk, there are only so many positives after a 70-20, so we’re stretching Mims further. His 99-yard kick return goes down as maybe the least impactful imaginable on a game. It cut the Dolphins’ lead to, uh, 63-20 in the fourth quarter. But hey, he took it 99 yards. And he’s got a 45-yard punt return on his ledger this ye...

California astronaut movie hits #1 on Amazon Prime, "A Million Miles Away"

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:54 GMT

The movie that was inspired by a Stockton, California farmer who became a NASA astronaut is #1 in the United States on Amazon Prime, according to flixpatrol.com.'A Million Miles Away' tells the story of José Moreno Hernández who turned a childhood dream of reaching outer space into a reality. It premiered on Amazon Prime on Sept. 15 in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and has been in the #1 spot ever since. "I did not expect it to blow up this much, but I think it resonated with a lot of people. I believe we needed a film we needed a film like this," Hernández told KTLA's sister station, FOX40. "It's long overdue because so often we focus on the negative and don't celebrate the positive. " Hernández said his family immigrated from Mexico and he is a first-generation American. He is the first migrant farm worker recorded to make the trip beyond the stars.

Meet Artist for the People Tristan Eaton

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:54 GMT

Interdisciplinary painter, sculptor, and designer Tristan Eaton is above all a people person. Besides being a gregarious soul with a passion to talk art, ideas, inspiration, and changing the world, Eaton situates humanity firmly at the center of his wide-ranging practice. From examinations of what makes people tick in pop culture, political action, and private memory, to evocative portraiture and media-savvy hybrids, Eaton looks closely at people—perhaps more closely than they’d like. He had a blockbuster career survey exhibition at Long Beach Museum of Art in 2021, but for his latest project—a Dead Press pop-up at Sized Studio in Hollywood this weekend—he gets much more intimate. With a new folio, surprise drops, and an experiential contextualization for his ongoing Uprise works, Eaton evolves and rededicates his inspirations for protest art—believing that art has immense power to captivate and change minds, and that artists have a duty to engage toward a better world for everyone....

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers were the NFL’s first team to reach 3-0, but eight other teams looked to equal that start entering Sunday’s slate of NFL games.Soon, only two other teams will be left standing in with the 49ers in the undefeated ranks: the Miami Dolphins, who scored a mere 70 points in Sunday’s win over Denver, and the winner of tonight’s Philadelphia Eagles’ visit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (barring a tie).That’s not to say the 49ers are already consumed by the potential playoff picture – or the 1972 Dolphins’ one-and-only undefeated season.After Thursday night’s home-opening 30-12 rout of the New York Giants, the 49ers had the weekend off to watch NFC challengers Dallas, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans each lose, along with the AFC’s Baltimore Ravens, the franchise that handed the 49ers their first Super Bowl defeat a decade ago.
