slot fortune gems jili games merchandise Luna Announces Resignation of Pamela CoeIt was fall 1970, and having finished much of the work on Led Zeppelin’s now-iconic Led , Jimmy Page turned his attention to a slew of upcoming tour dates beginning March 5, 1971. Though the album would not be released until November ’71, the band planned to debut future classics like “Black Dog,” “Rock and Roll,” “Going to California,” and the evocative piece that was to become their signature song: “Stairway to Heaven.” There was just one catch. “I was so involved in creating the guitar parts for ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ on the acoustic guitar and two [ ] electric 12-string” Page recalls in , “that I hadn’t been thinking about how I was going to perform it all live. That’s where the Double-Neck came in.” Gibson had been making a model designated as the EDS-1275 SG Double-Neck since 1963 (Elvis Presley even totes one in his 1966 film ), and while the guitar fell off Gibson’s price list in 1968 (only to be re-continued in 1974), Page was able to custom-order one, which he received in early 1971, just in time for the tour. It’s this very same 1969 EDS-1275 that provided the model for last year’s limited-edition run of the Gibson Jimmy Page 1969 EDS-1275 Double-Neck Collector’s Edition. Custom-aged to the original’s exact wear detail by Gibson’s in-house Murphy Lab, only 50 Collector’s Editions were made, each hand-signed and actually played by Page himself, all for a tidy $49,999. While those have sold out, Gibson is soon to announce its plan to begin producing the Gibson Custom Jimmy Page EDS-1275 VOS, with some differences in specs, starting this December, at the more manageable price-point of $9,999. It’s worth noting that the Collector’s Edition, as well as the forthcoming Jimmy Page VOS model, are not mere approximations of Page’s instrument. Instead, using advanced 3D scanning technology, in tandem with CAD diagrams and CNC machining equipment, each and every component of the guitar, including the mahogany body, the ABR-1 bridges, and even the headstock logos, are scanned and then tooled to duplicate the parts on Page’s EDS to the minutest detail. And that’s not even to mention the minutiae behind replicating Page’s original T-Top pickups, where readings for ohm resistance, gauss (the magnetic charge in a pickup), number of winds, and more were all duly registered. “All of the parts will match exactly what was used in 1968/’69,” explains Mat Koehler, Gibson’s vice president of product, “down to the precise material of the chrome-plated bridges, the exact saddle contour and shape, the butyrate [ ] knobs and even how the reflectors are mounted within those knobs. We now have what’s known as a five-axis CNC machining tool, which allows us to do incredibly intricate carvings, and this means a lot more attention to detail.” All the latest guitar news, interviews, lessons, reviews, deals and more, direct to your inbox! Calling Page’s original EDS “the lightest solid-body double-neck I’ve ever played,” Koehler says his other first observation of the guitar when he met with Page at his home near London last year to conduct the scans was its overall condition. “Especially for a guitar that saw as much touring as Jimmy’s did, his EDS is in excellent shape,” Koehler says. “It was obvious that he’s very proud of it, and that he’s been a really great caretaker.” One Piece Mahogany Murphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer 628.65 mm / 24.75 in al Indian Rosewood 304.8 mm / 12 in Mahogany 42.8625 mm / 1.687 in Kluson Double Line, Double Ring with Keystone Button Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Custombuckers, Double Black Bobbins, Alnico 5 Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Custombuckers, Double Black Bobbins, Alnico 5 2 Volume, 2 Tone; Hand-wired with CTS Potentiometers and Period-correct Ceramic Disc Capacitors 3-way Switchcraft plus 3-way Switchcraft Neck Select Switch A former editor at and , and an ex-member of Humble Pie, Mr. Bungle and French band AIR, author James Volpe Rotondi plays guitar for the acclaimed Led Zeppelin tribute, ZOSO, which has called “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tribute bands.” Find JVR on Instagram at @james.volpe.rotondi, on the web at JVRonGTR.com, and look for upcoming tour dates at zosoontour.com

NEW YORK (AP) — Having waited 63 years for an Ivy League football title, Columbia had to stand by for another 40 minutes. The Lions had beaten Cornell 17-9 but needed a Harvard loss against Yale to secure a share of first place on the season's final day. So Columbia players retreated to their locker room on a hill a few hundred feet from Wien Stadium to watch the game in Boston on TV as a few hundred fans remained and gazed at the gold-and-orange foliage of Inwood Hill Park glowing in Saturday's afternoon sun.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The U.S. territory of Puerto Rico has yet to produce a certified vote tally for a single district almost a month after holding historic general elections. Then on Wednesday, a judge issued a ruling that sparked an outcry and threatened to further delay the certification process as the Jan. 2 swearing in looms. The judge, in response to a lawsuit, ordered Puerto Rico’s State Elections Commission to count early votes following ID verification even if the postal address used to request those votes is different from the one in the general voter registration. “Contrary to what some actors in our society may have encouraged in public opinion, our legal framework in electoral matters is covered with guarantees of reliability, which leave no room for speculation or doubts about the validity of early votes,” Judge Raúl A. Candelario López wrote. The Nov. 21 lawsuit was filed by a dozen voters affiliated with the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, which won the gubernatorial race, according to preliminary results. The ruling noted that those voters alleged “their rights are being violated since they requested early voting, complied with all the requirements for it, and their votes are being subject to additional requirements without any legal basis.” The judge’s decision angered many including Karla Angleró, electoral commissioner for the opposing Popular Democratic Party, one of Puerto Rico’s two main parties, She said the party would appeal Wednesday’s ruling. In September, Angleró and electoral commissioners from other parties agreed that if they uncovered addresses that didn’t match, officials would call people to confirm that they indeed requested an early vote to prevent any fraud. Angleró and other commissioners had recently requested that the elections commission investigate how more than 40 ballots with different residential addresses were requested from the same P.O. box in the southern coastal town of Santa Isabel. “We’ve been waiting for weeks,” she told reporters on Wednesday of the investigation. Judicial officials already are investigating allegations made before Nov. 2 about electoral crimes including people who said they received confirmations for early voting when they had made no such request. As those investigations continue, workers are certifying ballots with the aim to finish by Dec. 20 or 22, according to Jessika Padilla, alternate president for the elections commission. The aim was to finalize the district of the capital of San Juan on Wednesday, but that was pushed back to Sunday, she told reporters. Numerous obstacles have delayed the certification process, including an increase in write-in votes and a flurry of errors detected in bedside ballots, prompting all electoral commissioners to agree to start counting more than 60,000 such votes from scratch. The delay prompted electoral commissioners last week to temporarily halt the counting of ballots cast in a nonbinding referendum also held Nov. 2 on Puerto Rico’s political status so they could focus on election ballots. Local law dictates that the certification process must be completed by Dec. 31. Advertisement

Allergy Immunotherapy Market Size Expected to Hit USD 3.33 Billion by 2032, Expanding at a 9.2% CAGR: VMRThis year came in like a drunk on a weeklong bender — and left like a glue-sniffing drunk on a yearlong bender. In other words, what the hell just happened in 2024? A Kennedy joined forces with a Republican . The Dems switched candidates four months before the election. MAGA ruled MSG , and the far left’s heartthrob is a rich white kid who assassinated a CEO in Midtown Manhattan. Joe Rogan became a presidential kingmaker while Donald Trump worked a shift at McDonald’s. It was tumultous and unpredictable. At least there’s Taylor Swift to bring us some consistency: She’s still getting richer, ruling the NFL discourse and influencing grown men to wear friendship bracelets . But in the shifting landscape, a semblance of sanity returned. Cancel culture, DEI, trans lunacy and group think receded — while free speech thrived. Politics and pop culture became almost indistinguishable from each other. Kamala Harris’ “brat” status and Trump’s stilted “YMCA” dance overtook everything (the latter was even the preferred celebration of athletes). But only one side was victorious. The pantsuit is now 0 and 2 in presidential elections after the drubbing that Kamala Harris took in November. (My prediction: The first female president will be a Republican in a skirt.) Harris was never up to snuff, despite what the Dems and the media in the KHive tried to sell us. Speaking of duds, the Democrat establishment was exposed as covering up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while assuring us he was completing daily Iron Mans. Party leaders like Barack Obama lost influence and likability after peddling fascist fear porn and berating black men for supporting Trump over Harris. Can’t keep a good Trump down, or out of the White House . He was indicted four times and convicted by a Manhattan jury in the Stormy Daniels hush money case — and still emerged stronger and bigger in 2024. He built a new working-class coalition, tapped into the dissatisfaction with Biden’s policies and, with the help of Elon Musk, led a great political realignment. Trump’s victory meant brutal defeat for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who managed a conviction of the soon-to-be 47th President only to see it stuck in limbo. As are Bragg’s fortunes after subway Samaritan Daniel Penny was, thankfully, acquitted earlier this month. It felt like bros ruled politics in 2024 — but the ladies got it done in sports. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark dazzled — winning Rookie of the Year, making the playoffs and boosting WNBA attendance by whopping figures. As a result, the league is winning bigly, even if folks like Washington Mystics co-owner Sheila Johnson are loath to give Clark credit. At the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles made a triumphant comeback and Katie Ledecky became the first female swimmer to win gold at four different games. Meanwhile, Aussie competitor Raygun , with her intersectional approach to her “sport,” broke breakdancing — and our tolerance for nonsense. Gloves-off comedy roared in 2024. Netflix’s outrageous “The Roast of Tom Brady,” which saw the one-time golden boy take stronger hits than he did in 23 NFL seasons, slaughtered every sacred cow . It also launched Tony Hinchcliffe and Nikki Glaser into another stratosphere. Shane Gillis became comedy’s Lazarus, hosting “Saturday Night Live” five years after getting canned from the show. He’s also reviving Bud Lite in its post Dylan Mulvaney era. Unfortunately, the phrase “freak off” is now in our vernacular thanks to hip-hop’s all-powerful Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose spectacular downfall is due to his alleged sexual proclivities. Good old sex appeal reigned. After a years-long apology tour for, um, selling lingerie, Victoria’s Secret once again staged a fashion show with scantily clad Angels. “SNL” host Sydney Sweeney’s boobs caused a cultural eruption and proved that a nice set of girls are back. And Jeremy Allen White stripped to his Calvins for billboards, harkening to the golden era of undies ads with Marky Mark Wahlberg. Haliey Welch, otherwise known as “Hawk Tuah girl,” was on her way to total domination. The 21-year-old factory worker rose to international prominence the old-fashioned way: by drunkenly making a fellatio joke. She launched a podcast — then attached her name to a meme coin that tanked and led to accusations of a scam. She went into hiding and now says she’s cooperating with lawyers . Welch remains a cautionary tale about instant viral fame. Last year, Spotify parted with “f–king gifters” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This year, they delivered another bomb with “Polo” — leaving their $100 million Netlfix deal looking more precarious . Hunter Biden scored big with a pardon , but the sun has set on the Biden family’s decades-long power grip. Hey, at least Jill Biden can still call herself “Dr.” Going into 2025, there remains a sense of optimism that we’re headed in the right direction. Now if we can only figure out what’s going on with drones causing sky gridlock over Jersey.

NoneAn urgent warning has been issued to all Australians ahead of Thursday’s $100m Powerball draw . The Powerball Draw 1489 Division One jackpot has hit the eye-watering amount after going unclaimed for four weeks. But with as many as a thousand Powerball tickets expected to sell every minute before tonight’s draw, players are being urged to take note of a crucial — but easy-to-miss — piece of advice from The Lott. The Lott has long encouraged players to seek guidance from a financial planner if they take home a significant win. “We strongly suggest seeking professional financial advice for major lottery wins to ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your good fortune,” it advises on its website. It’s further been claimed that one of the reasons that Division One winners have to wait two weeks to receive their jackpots is so they can receive professional guidance on how to manage their newfound wealth. “In Australia there is a two week provisional period before the money is paid to you,” one Reddit user said. “This is meant to be the time you seek financial advice from professionals. Tatts can put you in contact with ones that understand lotto and large windfall winnings.” Another said: “You have two weeks to coordinate a lawyer, a financial advisor, and draw up an NDA. “Keep your mouth shut and don’t tell anyone without them signing an NDA. Lawyers are bound by client confidentially already so start there, then make your financial advisor sign the NDA before engaging with them. “After two weeks you get paid out, and you better have things organised before you get door knockers. If you do things right, nobody will ever find out.” In a recent Reddit post, some Australian social media users shared their concerning experiences with money after winning jackpots. Many complained of old and long-lost acquaintances “coming out of the woodwork” wanting a cut of their winnings. “A friend won $1 million, they did not give him financial advisers but he had access to one,” one Reddit user said. “Too many people knocked on his door asking for money though as he found out while at work.” Another said: “I won a large amount of money on a TV quiz show. All the mother****ers came out of the woodwork. “Won the money when I was late 30s. Had a person I hadn’t seen since the last day of high school (like 20 f***en years ago) messaging me telling me she was about to lose the house and hundred acre property she inherited because she couldn’t work. “We’d been Facebook friends for a few years before this and she couldn’t work because she was a raging alcoholic. “Then the ‘I only need 10k’ message came. I said haha, yeah right. ‘No, I really need it, can you help.’ About four times in escalating levels of begging. “Then proceeded to call me all the c**** under the sun because I wouldn’t give her money. Harassed me for about a month via DM. Then proceeded to stalk me around mutual friends posts when I commented and called me a tight arse and selfish. “Was mostly people from school and very old acquaintances that I hadn’t seen for ages that hit me up. Family didn’t ask for a thing. Friends didn’t ask for a thing.” Another big winner said it can be easy to spend a large portion of your win without realising it. “We won the lotto. We are a smart and well-educated couple and we were determined it wouldn’t change us. It was an Oz Lotto between $1-10 million,” they said. “We paid our mortgage off, paid for my mum to move into a better nursing home, paid my in-laws mortgage off, paid for private school for our children until high school. “My husband invested a bunch. We weren’t going to be like those other people. Right? We both kept working (although when his contract ran out two years later he didn’t bother getting another client it because he didn’t have to). “I was able to afford nice clothes, nice outfits. Louis Vuitton hand bags, burberry coats, new car. We could eat at nice restaurants. Just for a change. “But that became our new normal. Until we couldn’t afford our new normal anymore. It hit us one day how much of our savings we’d gone through. It crept up on us. It wasn’t an overnight change. “It was a ‘We have millions I can splurge on a bag!’ And then it became a ‘I need a new back pack so I’ll see what LV has.’ “Thankfully we’ve managed to rein it in and get back on top of things. But it was crazy how quick there was a new and unsustainable normal.” The warnings come as an American man faces a messy legal challenge from family over his $1.35 billion Mega Millions win. The unidentified man won the huge jackpot in January last year, and is now locked in a bitter legal battle with family members. He’s been accused of refusing to share a portion of his winnings as promised, abandoning plans to set-up a million-dollar trust fund and refusing to pay medical expenses for his father. He has also claimed that the mother of his daughter violated a non-disclosure agreement by telling the rest of their family about his enormous win before their daughter’s 18th birthday in 2032. He went on to accuse the woman of trying to kidnap their daughter when he wouldn’t pay for a vacation for her and her boyfriend. The man also revealed how his relationship with his father deteriorated after he took home the major jackpot. “I made the mistake of telling my father that I had won the lottery without having him sign a confidentiality agreement,” the lotto winner said in court documents. “Our relationship deteriorated quickly thereafter. “I did not tell him what I was doing with my money, how I was going to benefit my daughter, or any facts other than the simple fact that I had won.” If you’re concerned about your gambling or the gambling of a friend or family member, log on to Gambling Help Online or make contact via phone on 1800 858 858.
