Colt Announces the New Gold Cup Trophy
Posted on April 17, 2017 by under_admin
Colt, the company whose Gold Cup has long been the pinnacle of performance in the world of competitive shooting, is pleased to announce the next generation Gold Cup Trophy.
Updated to meet the desires of today's elite shooters, the pistol is a modern take on the stalwart classic performance firearm that has helped so many competitive shooters achieve victory over the past century.
"We started the development of the new Gold Cup Trophy when I decided to compete in the Bianchi Cup," said Mark Redl, Team Colt Shooter and Product Manager for Colt. "Everything about this pistol was designed to make it an affordable option for the professional competitor to engage in the most elite shooting match in the world. We started with our standard Gold Cup Trophy and upgraded it in the same ways that many enthusiasts and professionals do as they ship their beloved firearm around the country for costly specialty services. Now, for the cost of perhaps one or two of these services, you can buy a brand new Gold Cup with the upgrades right from the factory."
This new Gold Cup features Colt's competition ergonomics, including an undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail grip safety, and Colt's Dual Spring Recoil System for improved recoil mitigation.
Colt Gold Cup Series 70
Factory 25 LPI checkering on the front and rear strap of the grip, along with Colt branded blue G10 grips complete the stabilization package. Competitors will appreciate the firing system, which is now the Colt Series 70 system, which reduces the number of moving parts in the trigger assembly, as well as reduces the length and weight of the trigger pull.
"Another big change for this model is that along with the traditional .45 ACP, it's also available in 9mm," said Redl. "The whole package makes this a really appealing handgun for world class competitors."
The new Gold Cup Trophy is available in 9mm (SKU: O5072XE) and .45 ACP (O5070XE), and has an MSRP of $1,699.

You are holding the key to unlocking your full potential.
After a string of abusive relationships (including to myself), multiple addictions, and ongoing physical complaints, I resolved to get free from my symptoms and unhealthy patterns in relationships.
I explored endless healing modalities - energy healing, hypnotherapy, EFT, meditation, detoxing, fasting, holistic treatments, and more - but the patterns of toxic relationships and frustrating physical symptoms persisted.
None of them, and this includes a lot of talk therapy, went deep into the emotional root cause of my symptoms.
The therapies, diets, and supplements only masked the symptoms, never going deep enough to address the cause.
I learned that digestive problems, yeast infections, emotional eating, codependency, perfectionism, obsession with outside approval, and chronic victim mentality were manifestations of emotional neglect and unresolved trauma of various types.
This newfound understanding of the mind-emotional-body connection gave me freedom and clarity in all aspects of my life and has done the same for my clients.
But it is possible to get to the root cause so that you can end these patterns.
I've put together some of my best tools to help you take effective action to really heal and experience lasting relief - and I'm sharing them with you in this free gift!
Most people are treating symptoms, and even thoughts and behaviors, but not getting to the core. Because of this, they continue to suffer and feel victimized by their symptoms and life.
If you've tried treating with supplements, diet, energy healing, therapy, and everything in between, but still find yourself experiencing symptoms and stuck in unwanted patterns, this is for you!
During this 2+ hour video lesson, I share the key questions to ask yourself to stay empowered with your healing, the reason your body manifests symptoms, how to form a supportive relationship with your body, the top blocks to healing, how resolving the emotional root cause can eliminate all your symptoms, and so much more!
Including bonus content: What is Blocking You From Healing.

"I learned that I have to get to the root of my issues and that this is a journey, there's time to learn and I don't have to feel like a failure because what I tried in the past didn't work. I realized that I haven't failed, I just haven't addressed it yet.
"With Elicia's amazing guidance and reflections, I have been able to make gigantic leaps in my healing work, where once I was only able to make very tiny baby steps (and would even back track at times)!
Not until I had support, in particular Elicia's support, did I truly start to shed my old patterns and conditioning.
I truly believe this is because people need their patterns and beliefs systems reflected to them to truly internalize the shift. I couldn't always see how my patterns, conditioning, and limiting beliefs were creating the situations I was trying to prevent or evolve from."

Flann O'Brien's Novel At Swim-Two-Birds Is a Postmodernist Masterpiece of Comic Storytelling
February 11, 2013 February 11, 2013 Edwin Turner12 Comments
The vibrant force of storytelling in Flann O'Brien's excellent first novel At Swim-Two-Birds threatens to overwhelm reader and narrator alike—and what a strange joy it is to be overwhelmed. This novel overflows with stories; its plot threads twist into each other, break out of each other, erupt into new ideas, characters, riffs, sketches. First published in 1939—the same year as James Joyce's Finnegans Wake—At Swim-Two-Birds seems light years ahead of its time—indeed, this is a book that is still ahead of its time.
Summarizing At Swim-Two-Birds is difficult but worth attempting. We have an unnamed narrator, a student living with his uncle who doesn't think much of how his nephew spends his time. Our narrator likes to imbibe large quantities of porter and wax philosophical with his friends about his literary projects. These projects, our narrator's riffs and scribblings, begin to take on lives of their own: they intersect, overlap, intermarry, degenerate and regenerate.
The book's opening paragraph announces the novel's intention to disregard the classical unities of action, place, and time:
Having placed in my mouth sufficient bread for three minutes' chewing, I withdrew my powers of sensual perception and retired into the privacy of my mind, my eyes and face assuming a vacant and preoccupied expression. I reflected on the subject of my spare-time literary activities. One beginning and one ending for a book was a thing I did not agree with. A good book may have three openings entirely dissimilar and inter-related only in the prescience of the author, or for that matter one hundred times as many endings.
First, we meet "Pooka MacPhellimey, a member of the devil class," a hobgoblin of Irish folklore (he turns out to be a thoughtful and polite fellow). Then, there's John Furriskey, who "was born at the age of twenty-five and entered the world with a memory but without a personal experience to account for it." Furriskey is the literary creation of another of the narrator's literary creations, one Dermot Trellis, a grumpy old man who writes Westerns; Trellis (an author, it's worth reiterating) is the eventual antagonist of the novel, the target for all of the other characters' vengeance. The third opening offers up Finn Mac Cool, "a legendary hero of old Ireland."
Much of the early part of At Swim-Two-Birds features Finn Mac Cool holding forth on all matters Irish in wonderfully baroque and hyperbolic passages. Here's a snippet (a long one!), featuring Finn on the ideal man:
When pursued by a host, he must stick a spear in the world and hide behind it and vanish in its narrow shelter or he is not taken for want of sorcery. Likewise he must hide beneath a twig, or behind a dried leaf, or under a red stone, or vanish at full speed into the seat of his hempen drawers without changing his course or abating his pace or angering the men of Erin. Two young fosterlings he must carry under the armpits to his jacket through the whole of Erin, and six arm-bearing warriors in his seat together. If he be delivered of a warrior or a blue spear, he is not taken. One hundred head of cattle he must accommodate with wisdom about his person when walking all Erin, the half about his armpits and the half about his trews, his mouth never halting from the discoursing of sweet poetry. One thousand rams he must sequester about his trunks with no offence to the men of Erin, or he is unknown to Finn. He must swiftly milk a fat cow and carry milk-pail and cow for twenty years in the seat of his drawers. When pursued in a chariot by the men of Erin he must dismount, place horse and chariot in the slack of his seat and hide behind his spear, the same being stuck upright in Erin. Unless he accomplishes these feats, he is not wanted of Finn. But if he do them all and be skillful, he is of Finn's people.
It's hard not to feel something of Joyce in the passage (I'm particularly reminded of the Cyclops episode of Ulysses), and O'Brien's narrator name-checks Joyce (along with Aldous Huxley) in the first few pages of the book. The narrator's comically mechanical and precise descriptions also recall Joyce. Joyce and O'Brien drew from the same well of mythology, but O'Brien more keenly attunes his focus on Irish legend and folklore in At Swim-Two-Birds, while Joyce's project skews to archetypes. Similarities and divergences aside, there's something strangely fitting about O'Brien's Finn Mac Cool dreaming his way into other characters' lives in At Swim-Two-Birds, as if this Finn is the psychic twin of Joyce's Finn.
Indeed, such a reading would fit neatly into our young narrator's ideas about the function of character in literature:
Characters should be interchangeable as between one book and another. The entire corpus of existing literature should be regarded as a limbo from which discerning authors could draw their characters as required, creating only when they failed to find a suitable existing puppet. The modern novel should be largely a work of reference. Most authors spend their time saying what has been said before – usually said much better. A wealth of references to existing works would acquaint the reader instantaneously with the nature of each character, would obviate tiresome explanations and would effectively preclude mountebanks, upstarts, thimble-riggers and persons of inferior education from an understanding of contemporary literature.
This decree strikes me as wonderfully post-postmodernist. That the "modern novel should be largely a work of reference" finds its suitable echo over half a century later in the note-card novels of David Markson (and other reality smugglers). The citation above serves as a metatextual description of At Swim-Two-Birds itself: O'Brien's narrator framing the various tales that erupt in the novel, but also undoing the frames, allowing his characters to converge, to tell their own stories (and within those stories characters tell other stories…).
In its finest moments (of which there are many), At Swim-Two-Birds operates on an ad hoc logic that it creates and describes in motion, a kind of improvised dream response pattern. Most books, particularly postmodern books, teach the reader how to read them—that is, most novels provide keys, hints, and reading rules early enough in the text to allow perceptive readers to interpret (subjectively, of course) what the novel is doing. O'Brien's novel in toto, with its discontinuities, gaps, eruptions, and juxtapositions, paradoxically is its own discrete, unified key.
But I seem to be getting bogged down in a bit of literary theory, which is not my intent at all.
Instead, let me draw attention to a wonderful extended jaunt in the middle of At Swim-Two-Birds where the Pooka MacPhellimey enters into an ersatz quest with the Good Fairy, two cowboyish thugs (or thuggish cowboys) named Slug and Shorty, the poet Jem Casey, and the mad King Sweeny. This ragtag band sets out to bequeath gifts to the forthcoming child of Miss Lamont (the creation of a creation of a creation). These episodes unfold in comic bravado, their slapstick rhythms recalling the manic but precise energy of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin and the linguistic brio of the Marx brothers. This miniature picaresque is tempered in sweet pathos for poor crazy Sweeny who must be plied forward with the promise of a feast. The poor man, broken, starving, and living solely on watercress, falls into despair. What eventually moves him? The force of language:
And getting around the invalid in a jabbering ring, they rubbed him and cajoled and coaxed, and plied him with honey-talk and long sweet-lilted sentences full of fine words, and promised him metheglin and mugs of viscous tarblack mead thickened with white yeast and the spoils from hives of mountain-bees, and corn-coarse nourishing farls of wheaten bread dipped in musk-scented liquors and sodden with Belgian sherry, an orchard and a swarm of furry honey-glutted bees and a bin of sun-bronzed grain from the granaries of the Orient in every drop as it dripped at the lifting of the hand to the mouth, and inky quids of strong-smoked tabacca with cherrywood pipes, hubble-bubbles, duidins, meerschaums, clays, hickory hookahs and steel-stemmed pipes with enamel bowls, the lot of them laid side by side in a cradle of lustrous blue plush, a huge pipe-case and pipe-rack ingeniously combined and circumscribed with a durable quality of black imitation leather over a framework of stout cedarwood dovetailed and intricately worked and made to last, the whole being handsomely finished and untouched by hand and packed in good-quality transparent cellophane, a present calculated to warm the cockles of the heart of any smoker. They also did not hesitate to promise him sides of hairy bacon, the mainstay and the staff of life of the country classes, and lamb-chops still succulent with young blood, autumn-heavy yarns from venerable stooping trees, bracelets and garlands of browned sausages and two baskets of peerless eggs fresh-collected, a waiting hand under the hen's bottom. They beguiled him with the mention of salads and crome custards and the grainy disorder of pulpy boiled rhubarb, matchless as a physic for the bowels, olives and acorns and rabbit-pie, and venison roasted on a smoky spit, and mulatto thick-tipped delphy cups of black-strong tea. They foreshadowed the felicity of billowy beds of swansdown carefully laid crosswise on springy rushes and sequestered with a canopy of bearskins and generous goatspelts, a couch for a king with fleshly delectations and fifteen hundred olive-mellow concubines in constant attendance against the hour of desire. Chariots they talked about and duncrusted pies exuberant with a sweat of crimson juice, and tall crocks full of eddying foam-washed stout, and wailing prisoners in chains on their knees for mercy, humbled enemies crouching in sackcloth with their upturned eye-whites suppliant. They mentioned the leap of a fire on a cold night, long sleeps in the shadows and leaden-eyed forgetfulness hour on hour – princely oblivion. And as they talked, they threaded through the twilight and the sudden sun-pools of the wild country.
I've perhaps overshared here, let our characters babble on too long—but the verbal dexterity of the passage above illustrates O'Brien's rhetorical force, the force he lends his characters in order that they should move their insane and desperate friend forward. There's a sublime alchemy at work here, where imagination turns into words and words turn into food and drink.
I also fear these big chunks of text I've pulled from At Swim-Two-Birds don't highlight O'Brien's extraordinary talent at rendering speech. The dialogue in this novel is hilarious but nuanced, its ironies rarely if ever remarked upon by intrusive attributions. That O'Brien's narrator's characters (and their characters…) speak through the layers of texts adds to the book's juxtapositions.
These juxtapositions will perhaps confuse or even alienate many readers. At Swim-Two-Birds can be read as an attack on the classical unities of action, place, and time. O'Brien's novel is a send-up of stability, order, and tradition. Some of the novel's best moments are its strangest indulgences, as when O'Brien (or his narrator) gives the novel over to citations from imaginary antique texts, or allows his characters to indulge in a seemingly endless recitation of obscure facts, or satirizes the moral dangers of tea-tasting. These moments seem to erupt from nowhere, bizarre, wonderful, joyous.
At Swim-Two-Birds lacks the cohesion of theme and voice that characterizes O'Brien's other masterpiece, The Third Policeman, but this is hardly a deficiency. At Swim-Two-Birds is one of those rare books that actually deserves to be called dazzling, a critic's crutch-word that mars too many blurbs. Its dazzle derives from its rhetorical force, its humor, and its openness to experiment with not just the novelistic form, but the form of storytelling itself. And it's here that O'Brien's novel is most real—he captures the strangeness of storytelling, its mutability, its crazy rhythms. Ultimately, this is a novel unconcerned with providing pat answers and clear solutions. I loved this book, loved reading it—and then immediately rereading it. I'll let O'Brien get the last word:
Answers do not matter so much as questions, said the Good Fairy. A good question is very hard to answer. The better the question the harder the answer. There is no answer at all to a very good question.

Selections from One-Star Amazon Reviews of Joyce's Ulysses
February 2, 2013 February 2, 2013 Biblioklept25 Comments
[Ed. note: The following citations come from one-star Amazon reviews of James Joyce's Ulysses. To be very clear, I think Ulysses is a marvelous, rewarding read (more on that here). Today, February 2nd, is Joyce's birthday—let's celebrate by enjoying the observations of some readers who were unimpressed by his masterpiece. While one or two of the reviews are tongue-in-cheek, most one-star reviews of the book are from very, very angry readers who feel duped]
I can sum this book up in two words: "Ass Beating".
What an awful book this is?
I bought this having been a huge fan of the cartoon series, but Mr Joyce has taken a winning formula and produced a prize turkey. After 20 pages not only had Ulysses failed to even board his spaceship, but I had no idea at all what on earth was going on. Verdict: Rubbish.
When an English/American writer try to explain his/her ideas about life(I mention ideas about meaning,purpose and philosophy of life)and when he/she try to do this with complicated ideas and long sentences(or like very short ones especially in this particular book);what his/her work become to is:A tremendous nonsense!!!
Thi' got to be the worst, I- I – I mean the worst ever written book ever. Know why? 'Cause he' such a showoff, know what I MEAN? He's ingenious I'll giv' 'em that, but ingenuity my friends tire and enervate. Get to the point and stick to it 's my motto.
This is one of those books that "smart" people like to "read."
The grammar is so disjointed as to make it nearly impossible to read.
Ulysses is basically an unbridled attack on the very ideas of heroism, romantic love and sexual fulfillment, and objective literary expression.
What's with all the foreign languages?
It has no real meaning.
It is a blasphemy that it ever was published.
Anyone who tells you they've read this so-called book all the way through is probably lying through their teeth.It is impossible to endure this torture.
A babbling, senseless tome upheld by "literary luminaries" who fear being cast into the tasteless bourgeois darkness for dissent? Yes, that's the gist.
I discovered that the novel was not what I though it would be.
Joyce is an aesthetic bother of Marcel Duchamp (known for The Fountain, a urinal, now a museum piece) and John Cage (the composer of pieces for prepared piano, where the piano's strings are mangled with trash.
Two positive things I can say about James Joyce is that he has a great sounding name and he gives wonderful titles to his works.
Ask yourself – are you going to enjoy a book that neccesitates your literature teacher lie next to you and explain its 'sophistication' to you ?
It's the worst book which has ever been written.
Unless you really hate yourself, do not attempt to read this book.
The truth is this book stinks. For one thing it is vulgar, which, I hate to disappoint anyone, requires no talent at all. This is a talent any six year-old boy possesses.
The book is not so good, it is boring, it is a colection of words and a continuous experimentation of styles that, unhappily, do not mean anything to the meaning of the story; that is, the book's language is snobbish and useless. Those who say that "love" such a writing are to be thought about as non-readers or as victims of a literary abnormality.
…the single most destructive piece of Literature ever written…
I'm all for challenging reads, but not for gibberish which academics persist in labeling erudition.
This book is extremely dull!!! My book club decided to read this book after one of the members visited the James Joyce tower in Ireland, which the author supposedly wrote part of the book in.
Ulysses is a failed novel because Joyce was a bad writer (shown by his other works).
In conclusion, Don't read the book. Burn it hard. Do not let your children read the book—it will mutilate their brain cells.

Download RTÉ's Superb Audio Production of James Joyce's Ulysses
January 23, 2013 January 23, 2013 Biblioklept4 Comments
James Joyce's Ulysses might seem like a prohibitively difficult book, but it's not as hard to read as its reputation suggests. There are any number of strategies for tackling the great tome (although enjoying or experiencing are more fitting verbs here), but one that many readers might overlook is listening to an audio recording.
I've tried a few audio versions of Ulysses, and none can hold a candle to RTÉ's 1982 full cast production. I reviewed it a few years ago, and wrote:
I listened to, absorbed, choked up at, guffawed about, cackled around, and generally loved RTÉ's 1982 dramatized, soundtracked, sound-effected, lovingly detailed recording of Ulysses, a work crammed with voices to match (if perhaps not equal) Joyce's big fat work. This recording is not as widely available as LibriVox's (free) full cast production or Jim Norton's Naxos reading, but, after sampling both, I'd argue that it's better. The Irish players bring sensitivity and humor to their roles, but beyond that pathos, the energy of RTÉ's troupe is what really makes the book sing. Leopold Bloom gets his own voice, as does Stephen Dedalus and Molly (and all the characters). This innovation propels the narrative forward with dramatic power, and clarifies the oh-so indirectness of Joyce's free indirect style, making the plot's pitfalls and pratfalls more distinct and defined. There are songs (and dances) and music (and musing) and humming (and hemming and hawing and reverb). There is chanting and chawing and brouhaha. There is chaos and calamity and confusion. There is brilliance and peace and transcendence. It's all very good, great, wonderful.
You can listen to and/or download the production here (big thanks to reader Eve for sending the link in!).

"Joyce" — Ezra Pound
December 29, 2012 December 29, 2012 Biblioklept3 Comments
"Joyce" by Ezra Pound
Despite the War, despite the paper shortage, and despite those old-established publishers whose god is their belly and whose god-father was the late F.T. Palgrave, there is a new edition of James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man."
It is extremely gratifying that this book should have "reached its fourth thousand," and the fact is significant in just so far as it marks the beginning of a new phase of English publishing, a phase comparable to that started in France some years ago by the Mercure.
The old houses, even those, or even more those, which once had a literary tradition, or at least literary pretensions, having ceased to care a damn about literature, the lovers of good writing have "struck"; have sufficiently banded themselves together to get a few good books into print, and even into circulation. The actual output is small in bulk, a few brochures of translations, Eliot's "Prufrock," Joyce's "A Portrait," and Wyndham Lewis' "Tarr," but I have it on good authority that at least one other periodical will start publishing its authors after the War, so there are new rods in pickle for the old fat-stomached contingent and for the cardboard generation.
Joyce's "A Portrait" is literature; it has become almost the prose bible of a few people, and I think I have encountered at least three hundred admirers of the book, certainly that number of people who, whether they "like" it or not, are wholly convinced of its merits.

"Rhetoric" — A Page from James Joyce's Notebooks
April 15, 2012 Biblioklept7 Comments
This page is from a notebook that contains some of Joyce's preparatory notes for Ulysses—there are notes for characters ("Stephen," "Simon," "Leopold," etc.) as well as lists ("Books," "Recipes") and general ideas ("Theosophy"). This particular page, "Rhetoric," seems to be part of the material that went into the "Aeolus" chapter of Ulysses, which plays with the windiness of rhetorical figures. From the National Library of Ireland, via UbuWeb.

William Gaddis on James Joyce
William Gaddis on James Joyce (via/more):
I recall a most ingenious piece in a Wisconsin quarterly some years ago in which The Recognitions' debt to Ulysses was established in such minute detail I was doubtful of my own firm recollection of never having read Ulysses.
(March 1972 letter to Jean [?] Howes)
I've about reached the end of the line on questions about what I did or didn't read of Joyce's 30 years ago. All I read of Ulysses was Molly Bloom at the end which was being circulated for salacious rather than literary merits; No I did not read Finnegans Wake though I think a phrase about "psychoanaloosing" one's self from it is in The Recognitions; Yes I read some of Dubliners but don't recall how many & remember only a story called "Counterparts"; Yes I read a play called Exiles which at the time I found highly unsuccessful; Yes I believe I read Portrait of an Artist but also think I may not have finished it; No I did not read commentary on Joyce's work & absorb details without reading the original. I also read, & believe with a good deal more absorbtion [sic], Eliot, Dostoevski, Forster, Rolfe, Waugh, why bother to go on, anyone seeking Joyce finds Joyce even if both Joyce & the victim found the item in Shakespear, read right past whole lines lifted bodily from Eliot &c, all of which will probably go on so long as Joyce remains an academic cottage industry.

Buttoned First Nighters pack shows – The Daily Gazette
Buttoned First Nighters pack shows
First Night Saratoga organizers said Monday night they were on target to sell 14,000 buttons, making
By Lee Coleman | January 1, 2008

Clare Kelly, 5, of Saratoga Springs, far right, posts her New Year's resolution, "I want to be great," on the GE mural in front of the Saratoga Springs City Center on Monday.
First Night Saratoga organizers said Monday night they were on target to sell 14,000 buttons, making the 12th annual event the best attended.
"I think we probably will," said Maureen Duda, First Night coordinator for the Saratoga YMCA, about sales of the buttons that get purchasers into the many musical venues.
"All the venues seem to be quite packed," Duda said.
First Night Saratoga, the only First Night left in the Capital Region, was created as a family-oriented, alcohol-free celebration of the arts on New Year's Eve.
More than 35 locations in and near downtown Saratoga Springs offered 80 live musical or light theatrical performances.
"There is a steady flow of traffic," said Sgt. Jason Tetu of the city police department.
Tetu estimated about 10,000 people in the city at 8 p.m. and expected more to come.
"It does build up," Tetu said about the First Night crowd mounting as midnight approached. "It looks like they are going to meet their number. Everything is going smooth." He said the first round of fireworks went off without a hitch and the First Night 5K road race went well with about 1,000 runners participating.
Douglas and Mara Van Vorst of Charlton have made a tradition of coming to Saratoga Springs for First Night with their three children, Emma, 13, Jacob, 11, and Ethan, 6.
Mara Van Vorst said last year they parked their car outside the city and took a CDTA bus downtown. The CDTA runs special free buses into downtown from several locations. But this year, Doug Van Vorst was able to find a parking space downtown.
The family ate dinner at a restaurant on Broadway, then went out to see and hear the music that would usher in the new year of 2008.
This year's First Night started off with a bang shortly before 6 p.m. when fireworks filled the sky behind the Saratoga Springs City Center.
Fireworks, created by Alonzo's Fireworks of Schaghticoke, also celebrated the new year at midnight.
For Barbara Garro, a local artist and author, working as a volunteer on First Night has become a tradition.
Garro was checking buttons at the City Center, where Kevin McKrell's Hard Road Ceilidh Band and Seven Nations shared the stage every other hour.
"I used to perform as Mother Goose and Gander," Garro said about the first couple of First Nights.
Garro worked from 6 to 9 p.m. as a volunteer at the City Center, then went over to the Epiphany Theater at 153 Regent St., where she volunteered another three hours.
She said she really liked the Imagining Lennon performance that was one of the acts at the theater.
While the Doug Kwartler Band played to about 60 people in the Saratoga Springs Post Office on Broadway, a postal service employee was selling First Night Saratoga envelopes with a special postal cancellation stamped on them.
Across Church Street at the Adirondack Trust Co., Mike and Laurie Mero of Saratoga Springs were attending their very first First Night Saratoga.
"We always worried about the crowd," Mike Mero said about why they hadn't attended a First Night, even though they have lived in Saratoga Springs for 18 years.
Bluesman L.B. Walker provided the music at Adirondack Trust Co.
"We are expecting a record crowd," said James Letts, the chief executive officer of the Saratoga YMCA.
He thanked the 300 volunteers that make First Night Saratoga possible at the opening ceremonies in the City Center atrium. Letts said the YMCA coordinates First Night but it's the volunteers and signature sponsors, such as the General Electric Co., that make it happen.
Letts noted that this is the first First Night Saratoga to use the new Saratoga YMCA facility at 290 West Ave. The new YMCA was a venue for the Saratoga Savoy Swingkids with a bounce house and chin-up bar available throughout the evening.
Duda said she and the YMCA staff are already planning for next year's First Night Saratoga.

2019 Winter Auction Closing March 2
Lot #64:
1988 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Los Angeles Lakers NBA Championship Ring (Abdul-Jabbar LOA)
All > Kareem Abdul Jabbar Collection
All > Rings, Trophies & Awards
All > Sports > Basketball > memorabilia
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/2/2019
Behind a potent scoring offense, the 1987-88 Los Angeles Lakers finished the regular season with a record of 62-20. Head coach Pat Riley had more than enough options, with Magic Johnson (19.6 points per game), James Worthy (19.7 PPG) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (14.6 PPG) all capable of carrying the team. Even with those Hall of Famers on the roster, it was Byron Scott (21.7 PPG) who led the team in scoring. After sweeping the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, the remainder of the postseason would test the fortitude of the defending-champion Lakers. Los Angeles was pushed to the max in consecutive seven-game series victories over the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks to reach the NBA Finals. There, the Lakers would once again survive in seven games - this time over the Detroit Pistons - to repeat as NBA champions.
Offered here is the Balfour 14K gold 1988 Los Angeles Lakers NBA championship ring presented to Hall of Famer and NBA all-time leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This ring features a larger round diamond set on a purple face, with smaller diamonds going around it. "WORLD CHAMPION LAKERS 1988" reads in relief work. Please note that it appears that the two individual small diamonds surrounding the "1988" are missing. An enamel-filled Lakers team logo centers one side of the ring, with "ABDUL-JABBAR" above it and "LAKERS 4 PISTONS 3" below. "BACK TO BACK" appears on the opposite side, above an NBA league logo finished with enamel. "1987" is shown to the left of the NBA logo, with the year "1988" to the right. Inside the band is marked "LGB 14K". This ring is an approximate size 12 and weighs approximately 39.0 grams. This item comes with a signed LOA from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Minimum Bid: $60,000.00
Auction closed on Sunday, March 3, 2019.

I went to UC Baby with my first pregnancy, and absolutely loved the experience. I was able to find out the gender of my baby and instantly formed a bond. The baby in my belly wasn't an "it" anymore. The atmosphere where I went was very professional and inviting, the staff were very warm and friendly.
I loved that I was able to 'see' my baby before I could hold them. There is so much that happens in pregnancy that only I (the woman) could experience. This is one way for my husband to share in that experience. The Live Broadcast made it possible for our family to celebrate this with us. We got a copy in DVD so our kids would be able to watch this when they're older.


First Aid merit badge extended its reign atop the charts in 2018, while the Exploration, Animation and Bugling merit badges each saw double-digit gains in popularity.
And how's this for unusual: The exact same number of Scouts earned the Search and Rescue merit badge in 2017 and 2018: 10,107.
Those are just three of the dozens of storylines one can glean from the 2018 merit badge data, released last week by the Boy Scouts of America.
Today, let's chop, sort and digest those numbers every which way. As always, the goal is to find trends that are interesting and informative.
At the end of this post, I'll include the raw numbers so you can do your own spreadsheet wizardry. Leave a comment with anything cool you're able to find.
As usual, every merit badge on this list is required to earn the Eagle Scout award, Scouting's highest honor.
It makes sense that these would rank highly; they're the badges the BSA deems most important.
What happens when we exclude Eagle-required merit badges from the rankings?
When given the choice to earn any of the 120 non-Eagle-required merit badges, which do Scouts prefer?
I think you'll find a common theme with these 10: They're offered at most summer camps, giving Scouts an excellent opportunity to complete them.
The list excludes Computers (replaced by Digital Technology in 2014) and Cinematography (replaced by Moviemaking in 2013), even though a few Scouts earned each in 2018.
How is that possible? According to the Guide to Advancement, once a Scout starts working on a merit badge, there's no time limit for finishing — other than the Scout's 18th birthday.
Can you help get your favorite merit badge out of the bottom 10? All it takes is a few motivated merit badge counselors.
Who's up, and who's down?
One year of numbers can't tell the whole story. That's why I like to compare each year's numbers to the previous year.
When we do that, we discover which merit badges gained and lost popularity year over year.
I'm not surprised to see Exploration get such a big jump. As the BSA's newest merit badge, Exploration should gain in popularity as more Scouts and leaders learn about its existence.
The Animation merit badge, meanwhile, continues its surge up the charts. It has seen double-digit gains in popularity every year since its 2015 debut.
At No. 7 in gains, Bugling merit badge just missed the top 5, but it's worth mentioning. The badge saw a 21.4 percent popularity jump from 2017 to 2018, meaning that many more campsites were filled with the sweet sounds of bugles last year.
Once again, I did not include the discontinued Computers and Cinematography merit badges in these calculations.
That's six straight years of declining numbers for the Backpacking merit badge. To be fair, its requirements are pretty daunting. Scouts must complete three different backpacking treks of at least three days each and at least 15 miles each.
On a personal note, I'm sad to see the Pulp and Paper merit badge here.
I earned that one at the 1997 National Scout Jamboree and still remember the strange thrill of making my own paper by hand. Try that with a Kindle.
So where did these numbers originate? From Local Council Charter Applications. That means they're based on the actual number earned, not on sales of the badges. Some troops purchase extra emblems in anticipation of future badge earnings, so sales numbers can mislead.
Special thanks to the BSA's Lynn Adcock for compiling and providing these numbers each year.
WARNING: The following section is for stat geeks only. Do not proceed unless you're ready to see lots of lots of numbers.
Seriously. You could be scrolling for minutes and dissecting digits for days.
This list includes only merit badges that could be earned in 2018. Sorry, but that means Poultry Farming merit badge didn't make the cut.
The rankings are interesting but don't tell the whole story. A merit badge released more recently will rank lower than one of the original 1911 merit badges. For example, Home Repairs is No. 17 lifetime, but it was released in 1943. Kayaking is nearly nine times more popular today, but it's only been around for six years.

Payton, Brees bask in glory of Saints' first championship
February 9, 2010 at 12:00a.m.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Clearly exhausted from a late night of post-Super Bowl celebrations, Sean Payton leaned on a podium Monday morning, clutching the Vince Lombardi trophy in his right hand.
"You can't get enough of this," the Saints' head coach said at a news conference at the Fort Lauderdale convention center. "This thing lay in my bed next to me last night, rolled over it a couple times. I probably drooled on it. But man, there's nothing like it."
Certainly, the New Orleans Saints never experienced anything like it.
Before this one, the Saints had only eight winning seasons — and two playoff victories — in their previous 42 years. New Orleans had to win three postseason games over three great quarterbacks — Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning — to win the title this season.
The last quarterback standing was Drew Brees, who joined Payton in 2006 with the idea of transforming the Saints into champions for a region needing widespread rebuilding after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
That was easier said than done, but in their fourth season together, they did it. Brees was chosen the Super Bowl MVP after Sunday night's 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. After that, his only remaining challenge was believing he'd actually pulled it off.
"I had to wake up this morning and turn to my wife and say, 'Did yesterday really happen?' " Brees said.
"Our victory last night was the culmination of four years of hard work, fighting through a lot of adversity, ups and downs and more importantly than that, representing a city that has been through so much," Brees said.
"Along the way, people have asked me so many times, 'Do you look at it as a burden or extra pressure? Do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the city on your teams' shoulders.' I said, 'No, not at all. We look at it as a responsibility.' Our city, our fans, gave us strength and we owe this to them. ... There's no people that you would want to win for more than the city of New Orleans."
As Brees spoke, Payton sat off to the side, elbows on knees, face buried in his hands. When it was his turn to speak, he recounted Vince Lombardi's grandson, Saints assistant Joe Lombardi, posing for a photo with the sterling silver hardware bearing his last name.
"Joe Lombardi, his father, Vince Jr., and his two brothers sat and posed with this trophy, the four of them, while pictures were taken. And I just thought to myself, 'You've got to be kidding me,' " Payton said. "If you believe in heaven, and you believe Vince Lombardi is there looking down on his grandson, it doesn't get any better."
Payton said when all was quiet in the team hotel around 3 a.m., he offered a prayer of thanks for his team and his experience in New Orleans, where he became a head coach for the first time in 2006. The city was still largely in ruin then.
"When we got into coaching or playing, we got into it for certain reasons and yet the reasons in New Orleans far exceeded what we ever expected," Payton said.
The theme for the Saints in 2009 became: A season of firsts. They opened with their first 13-game winning streak, which earned them a first No. 1 seeding in the NFC playoffs. That led to a first home NFC title game, then a first Super Bowl.

Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday criticised Pakistan and said a visit to the neighbouring country was similar to "going to hell".
Indian troops killed a total of seven militants on Monday in two incidents – five of the gunmen had attempted a cross-border incursion and two more had attacked a Srinagar police station. One officer died in the police station shootout.
Parrikar said India would give a befitting reply to Pakistan-promoted militancy.
"Yesterday, our soldiers sent back five terrorists who were trying to infiltrate our borders. Going to Pakistan is the same as going to hell. Pakistan has always been promoting terrorism. Now, they are on the receiving end," said Parrikar while addressing a rally to mark Independence Day celebrations in northern Rewari city.
Kashmir is at the centre of a decades-old rivalry between India and Pakistan, which also rules its northern part, and backed an insurgency in the late 1980s and 1990s that Indian security forces largely crushed. Both countries claim Kashmir in full.
Pakistan recently invited India to hold dialogue on Kashmir, saying it is the "international obligation" of the two countries to solve the matter.
India virtually turned down Islamabad's proposal and said it would talk only on "contemporary and relevant" issues in India-Pak relations.

Traveling with legal marijuana from California airports is 'gray area'
Starting New Year's Day, the sale of marijuana for recreational use will be permitted in California, the country's most populous state.
What does that mean for air travelers who try to bring small amounts of marijuana with them?
That is a conundrum for the state's airports, which are locally owned and operated but are subject to federal law, under which marijuana is an illegal substance. Areas beyond security checkpoints are under federal control.
"It's going to be a very gray area," said officer Rob Pedregon, a spokesman for the police force at Los Angeles International Airport, the nation's second busiest airport.
"We're still in the state of California," he said. "Open that [airplane] door on the other end" and passengers are subject to a whole different set of local laws.
The Transportation Security Administration, the federal agency in charge of screening passengers, isn't specifically looking for drugs that are illegal under federal law, a spokesman said. Agents are on the lookout for weapons and explosives, however.
But if TSA agents do spot pot in traveler bags, "law enforcement takes it from there and TSA has nothing to do with happens after," said TSA spokesman Mike England.

Does My Yard Have A Carpenter Ant Problem?
Nests are usually established in soft, moist (not wet), decayed wood, but occasionally they nest in existing wood cavities or void areas in a structure that are perfectly dry. Workers cut galleries in the wood, expanding the nest size for the enlarging colony. Galleries are irregular, usually excavated with the wood grain into softer portions of the wood. The walls of the nest are smooth and clean (appearing as if sandpapered), and shredded sawdust-like wood fragments are carried from the nest and deposited outside. These piles of wood fragments, clues to the presence of carpenter ants, are often found beneath special slit-like openings or nest entrances. The sawdust may contain potions of insects, empty seed coats, and other small particles of debris.
In Trees - Having carpenter ants in a tree generally indicates that there already was decaying wood in that tree for some reason. The Carpenter ants seldom start working in a tree that is sound and healthy. Quite often the ants will make conspicuous trails on the lawn or soil in passing to and from their nest. Some workers will go as far as 100 yards from the nest seeking food.
In Firewood - Carpenter ants can move into a pile of firewood or even be brought on to your property in the firewood when it is delivered. Store firewood away from the house and if possible store it elevated above the ground somehow.
In the Home - If you suspect carpenter ant damage in your home you can distinguish between termite damage and ant damage. Termites leave "mud" or dirt in the galleries or tunnels and avoid hard woods. Carpenter ants keep their galleries clean and attack both soft and hard woods. If you do spot some wood destruction you need to call in a professional pest control company immediately.
Whether you spot a carpenter ant problem in a tree on your property on in some part of your house, it is generally smarter to get professional help. Getting rid of the ants in a tree may be within a homeowner's ability, but repairing the damage on the tree almost always requires the skills of a professional arborist. Make sure when you hire anybody to work on a tree that he or she is a "certified arborist"; that is the key to reliable and competent service.
In our opinion, if you spot carpenter ants in the house, then we recommend a professional pest control service every time. The stakes are too high in terms of potential expensive damage to a home's structure. Remember when hiring a professional pest control company that they should be presenting the least toxic and comprehensive program to solve this problem. They need to be able to show you how they will eliminate the access and the source of the problem as well as the ants using the least toxic chemicals that will do an effective job. Avoid companies wanting to do a complete house fumigation and companies wanting to sell you a "monthly maintenance treatment" program – neither approach is needed in most carpenter ant problems. Good companies will offer a 1 to 3 year warranty on their work.
