FRANKFORT — Polly Judd is skeptical of talk that her famous granddaughter, actress Ashley Judd, might run for U.S. Senate in Kentucky as a Democratic challenger to Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
"I don't think there's any possibility of that happening," the 85-year-old grandmother of Ashley and her singer sister, Wynonna, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview last week from her home in the northeastern Kentucky city of Ashland.
Polly Judd, a political activist in Ashland where she once served on the city commission, praised McConnell, Kentucky's longest serving U.S. senator.
"I think Mitch has done more for Ashland than anybody else who has been in there," she said. "That means a lot. He's been here personally, and we don't always get that from politicians who represent us."
Ashley Judd, who has starred in such movies as "Kiss the Girls," ''Double Jeopardy," ''Where the Heart Is," and "High Crimes," hasn't ruled out a Senate run. The former Kentuckian said in a statement earlier this month that she's "very honored" to be mentioned as a potential candidate.
Her publicist said last week nothing has changed since the original statement was released.
"I cherish Kentucky, heart and soul, and while I'm very honored by the consideration, we have just finished an election, so let's focus on coming together to keep moving America's families, and especially our kids, forward," Ashley Judd said in the original statement.
Ashley Judd lives in Tennessee and would have to re-establish a residence in Kentucky before she could challenge McConnell in his 2014 re-election bid.
No Democrats have stepped forward to challenge McConnell, a political powerhouse who already has $6.8 million in the bank for his re-election.

Apparently the NAIA women's basketball tournament committee didn't expect Missouri Southern to make the 1982 national tournament.
"When I called in the score," Lions coach Jim Phillips said, "they had already penciled in Grand View as the team. And we'd won."
The Lions defeated Grand View, from Des Moines, Iowa, by a 59-57 score in the championship game of the NAIA Area IV Tournament at Robert Ellis Young Gymnasium. The Lions went on to finish second in the national tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
The Lions' postseason success came as a surprise to many, considering they lost their final four games of the regular season.
"Two of them were real close (53-52 at Pittsburg State and 68-66 at Kearney State)," Phillips said. "Nobody expected us to be there ... nobody except the team. Everybody on the team expected us to win."
The regular season ended with a 90-68 loss at Fort Hays State, but the next week, the Lions won the NAIA District 16 tournament on their floor by beating Missouri Western 53-48 and William Woods 78-62.
The Lions then beat Milton (Wis.) 59-49 in the first round of the area tournament as Lisa Mitchell collected 14 points, 21 rebounds, six steals and four assists. Center Pam Brisby then had 31 points and 16 rebounds in the victory over Grand View.
Missouri Southern was the sixth seed in the national tournament at Kemper Arena. The Lions continued their giant-killer role as they defeated third-seeded Charleston (W.Va.) 74-65 in the quarterfinals and Berry (Fla.) 59-57 in the semifinals before losing to undefeated Southwestern Oklahoma State 80-45 in the championship game.
"Charleston had a real good guard who had been hot all year long," Phillips said. "We shut her down. When we played Berry, we only played five people. That 1982 team was in shape.
"However, that hurt us in the final game because we didn't have the stamina to stay up with Southwestern Oklahoma. They had one of the very best players I've ever seen — Kelli Litsch. She lit it up that night (18 points and was named the tournament's most valuable player for the first of three times). Southwestern Oklahoma was a great team. They were 33-0 that year."
Brisby set national tournament single-game records with 34 points and 21 rebounds against Charleston, and she established tournament records for points (64), rebounds (34) and field goals (25).
Against Berry, Mitchell scored 16 points, Brenda Pitts and Brisby had 14 apiece, Linda Castillon had 11 points and five steals and JaNelda Dvorak had four points. Brisby's jumper with 17 seconds left broke a 57-57 deadlock.
Brisby had 16 points against Southwestern Oklahoma before being taken off the court on a stretcher after suffering a back injury with 2:48 left. Ironically, she also was injured in the final game of her high school career.
"I fell and broke my arm in high school," Brisby said at a welcome-home reception the day after the tournament. "When I fell Saturday night, my mom said 'oh no, Pam broke her arm again.' "
Brisby and Pitts were named to the all-tournament team, and Pitts received the tournament's first Hustle Award — not a bad present on her 22nd birthday.
"This is a dream come true," Pitts said the day before the championship game. "No one really expected us to get this far."
The Lions finished 23-12, including a five-game winning streak to open the season, a six-game streak that began on Jan. 30 and the six-game run in the postseason to reach the national title game.
Even a loss — 67-64 to Michigan State in the third-place game of the Central Missouri Tournament on Dec. 4, 1981 — showed the Lions had potential.
Phillips — the Lions' new coach that season — quickly knew team chemistry would not be an issue.
"I knew I had a good team when I saw Brenda Pitts and Lisa Mitchell helping 'Big Pam' be a part of the team," he said. "I'd made the statement that a player couldn't be a part of the team and she couldn't play if she couldn't make her mile time.
"Pam didn't make it at first, and Brenda and Lisa wanted her to be a part of the team. With Brenda pulling her and Lisa pushing her, Pam finally made it with four-tenths of a second to spare."

NORMAN — Looking for a reason not to pick the Miami Heat to win another NBA title?
Don't check the odds, where the Heat are such an overwhelming favorite that it might as well be Tiger Woods against a weekend hacker.
Definitely don't bother with the Heat's results, which show exactly three losses since the start of February.
And certainly don't look on the court, where LeBron James sent season-long reminders that he's better than ever and already the best in the world.
The only people who might really believe in caution are the Heat themselves.
"There's going to be trials and tribulations no matter what, no matter how good of a team you are," Dwyane Wade said. "There's going to be a moment in the playoffs where our back is going to be against the wall. And I think everything we've done this season will prepare us for that moment. We have a goal, just like every other team that gets into the playoffs, to win a championship. But we understand the process that it takes."
It starts Saturday, when the playoffs start with four first-round games. The Heat will open Sunday against Milwaukee in what's expected to be a quick series.
Then it will be up to someone like the Knicks, Thunder, Spurs, or some other contender, to prove that the next two months aren't just a formality.
"They've had the best record and they're the defending champs so they're the team to beat, but I don't think it's much beyond that," Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "I mean, give them their due. They have the best record and they're the defending champs, so they're the team that you need to beat, but no, I don't think anybody is head and shoulders over any. There's too many good teams."
New York, which won three out of four from Miami, hosts Boston on Saturday in the playoff opener. The Nets welcome Chicago for the first postseason game in Brooklyn, while the Western Conference has Golden State visiting Denver, and the Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies squaring off in a first-round rematch.
On Sunday, the Lakers go to San Antonio without Kobe Bryant, and defending West champ Oklahoma City faces former Thunder star James Harden and Houston. Indiana and Atlanta meet in the other East game.
Miami faced plenty of adversity during last season's championship run. They were down 2-1 to Indiana in the second round, with Wade struggling and Chris Bosh injured. The Celtics took a 3-2 lead in the conference finals back to Boston before James fought off elimination with a 45-point performance in Game 6, and the Thunder took the opener of the NBA Finals and nearly rallied two nights later to put the Heat in a 2-0 hole.
There is much more intrigue out West, especially in the two series involving Los Angeles teams. The Clippers and Grizzlies went seven games last year before the Clippers advanced, and this time they have the home-court advantage. The Lakers didn't even clinch a playoff spot until Wednesday, but they won their final five games and look dangerous even without Bryant thanks to the inside play of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol.
The Lakers and Spurs had one of the NBA's best postseason rivalries in the last decade, and this one could join their list of memorable series.
"We're happy that we're in the playoffs but we're not done yet," Howard said.

Spirit of Patriots' Day Lives on After Boston Bombings
The agony of an unspeakable act is far overshadowed by the courage and compassion of those who rose up to help.
I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, a town we proudly called the "birthplace of American liberty." Every year we celebrated the ride of Paul Revere. Every year, as young children, we watched the parade, waving American flags, and took in the reenactment on the Lexington Battle Green.
Every year, now, my father and brother dress in their Minutemen uniforms and carry their muskets for the battle at first light to acknowledge April 19, 1775.
Every Patriots' Day was our holiday, not celebrated as much around the country. And every Patriots' Day there was the Boston marathon, growing in popularity, as I grew up. Over a half million spectators and nearly 30,000 runners, now, it is the world's oldest marathon, established in 1897. It is all a celebration routed in the history of our country and the pride of a region. It is a happy time, a holiday all of us growing up there could not wait for every year.
[ See a collection of editorial cartoons on the Boston Marathon bombings.]
Now, we mourn and we pray and we cry. We are shaken and we see fear and we feel pain for those who suffered so brutally.
But we know, deep down, what this holiday Patriots' Day means – it is a testimony to our strength of character and our resolve, to stand together, to stand as tall as we can, to celebrate a unity of purpose and a kindness of spirit. The agony of an unspeakable act is far overshadowed by the courage and compassion of all those who rose up to help and to comfort and go into harm's way.
This was a testament to the goodness and the great humanity of people. Not unlike, really, what that band of patriots and Paul Revere exhibited on that April day in 1775, immortalized in the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,--
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need.
The people will waken and listen and hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
[ See Photos: Deadly Explosions Hit Boston Marathon]
The message is one of freedom and forbearance, liberty and light, kindness and compassion. That is Patriots' Day; that is the world's oldest marathon. Through it all, we should remember that.

COLUMBIA, SC — More than a year ago, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott announced his department had resolved a 2005 "cold case" home invasion killing with the arrests of three local men.
Now the case of the shooting death of Antonio Corbitt is headed for trial Monday in Richland County as the three men facing murder charges in the incident are scheduled to appear in Richland County General Sessions court Monday before Circuit Judge Clifton Newman.
The three defendants are: Tavares World, 36, of Columbia; Gregg Isaac, 26, of Hopkins; and Vernorris Dixon, 37, of Columbia. All have been in the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center since their arrests in the case in the spring of 2012. Besides murder, they also face robbery and conspiracy charges
In a statement Sunday, Lott praised his department's forensic laboratory and fingerprint expert Diane Brodie for developing evidence — specifically a fingerprint taken at the scene – that led to the suspects' arrests.
It was in April of 2012 that, with some of Corbitt's relatives at his side, Lott held a widely publicized news conference to announce the trio's arrests.
Incident reports and warrants in the case said that suspects kicked down Corbitt's door at an apartment building at 3200 Fernandina Road "with the intention of robbing him of money and drugs."
Corbitt, 29, was shot inside his apartment in front of his 8-year-old son. He then staggered outside and fell on his back, where he died, according to a sheriff's incident report at the time.
There may be some additional courtroom drama Monday when trial begins.
Former 5th Circuit Solicitor Barney Giese is representing Dixon; opposing him is prosecutor Luck Campbell, whom Giese trained and supervised when he was the circuit's top prosecutor. Campbell is now the circuit's most experienced criminal prosecutor; her last case was earlier this year, when she convinced a jury to find Irmo bookie Brett Parker guilty of killing his wife and a fellow gambling associate.

New Castle News
Over the years, I've changed my mind a few times over how judges are selected to Pennsylvania's appellate courts.
I've favored merit selection of judges for the three appellate courts: Commonwealth, Superior and Supreme. And I've favored having the judges elected by the voters as they are now.
Under the current system, the wide majority of voters have no deep knowledge of the candidates. While the state bar association makes recommendations on candidates, voters generally have sketchy information.
And so it becomes somewhat of a crapshoot when voters cast their ballots. As a result, some of those who are elected may not be among the best and the brightest.
Which is why some people favor merit selection. That way, only those with "impeccable" credentials would be selected to serve on the state's highest courts.
This week, state Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams of Philadelphia announced he is co-sponsoring a bill amending the state constitution to have merit selection for the high courts.
Williams gave his reasoning for co-sponsoring the bill, noting the start of a corruption trial for suspended state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin and her sister, Janine, this week.
The two are charged with illegally using Melvin's former Superior Court staff to run her political campaigns.
"We cannot have a society of laws if those sworn to uphold them are seen as willing to disregard them," Williams said. "Lawmakers are drawn from the people, but our courts are supposed to be our gold standard."
Under the bill, a nominating commission would provide a list of five candidates to the governor who would make the appointment.
The commission would be made up of seven public members and eight members appointed by elected officials: Four by the governor and four by the Legislature. The commission would include attorneys and non-attorneys, but no members could be political or appointed officeholders or staffers to either.
Sounds great, but it doesn't ensure that even the most qualified person wouldn't be susceptible to corruption in the future.
Strides should always be made to have the most qualified people on the courts. But after that, we can only hope that they are also people of the highest integrity.

What is urban design? Is it a profession? a set of practices? the conceptual stuff that binds together architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture? Consensus apears to be elusive. For a readable overview of the discipline, see Urban Design, by Jonathan Barnett and Gary Hack, Chapter 13 in The Practice of Local Government Planning, 3rd ed., 2000, pp.307-340; EnvDesign HT167 P7 2000 2 copies, 1 on reserve. In addition, a sampling of classic and contemporary readings in urban design is offered in 2 recent compilations of similar title: The Urban design reader, Elizabeth MacDonald and Michael Larice, eds. (EnvDesign NA9040 U68 2007) and Urban design reader, Matthew Carmona and Steve Tiesdell, eds. (EnvDesign NA9040 U683 2007). With only about 20% overlap in selections, both are worth perusing.
Here is a selection of organizations involved with some aspect of urban design. Many of these sites have full-text reports online, as well as useful related links.

Abel Everson says he walked into a Yelm Walmart to cash a few checks and walked out with five fake $100 bills. The United States Secret Service is taking a particular interest in the case.
"I've always cashed my checks at Walmart, never had a problem," said Everson. "I pretty much just took it for granted."
Everson cashed three checks at the store last week totaling more than $800. He said it wasn't until he left the store, and came back to buy a money order, that he noticed something was wrong with several $100 bills.
"Something looked off on it," he said. "The portrait of Benjamin Franklin wasn't crisp like it should have been. And that's when I pulled another one out. The two serial numbers were identical."
Everson admits he was worried. $500 was equivalent to a week and a half of pay for him.
At first, Walmart employees doubted his story. Walmart said it has protocols in place to make sure counterfeit bills do not get into the system. But video surveillance helped support Everson's story. Eventually, Walmart officials changed their minds when they realized the fake money may have gotten into their cash office. They replaced the $500 two days later.
Yelm police explained how the bills may have gone undetected when it came into the store.
"Once those bills were weighed, they weighed the same amount as five $100 bills," said Yelm police officer Joel Turner. "And that's one way of checking for counterfeit bills. The weight was right."
The Secret Service said an estimated $100,000 in counterfeit money is reported in the Seattle area each month, but it is very unusual to find five fake $100 bills all together. It usually means the source of that fake money is nearby.
The Secret Service said it will take a closer look at the case. Everson said he's learned to pay closer attention.
"If I would have checked the money then and there, it wouldn't have been a big deal," he said.
A spokesperson for the Yelm Walmart said this appears to be an isolated case.

Hah, hah - very good Pieter. I'm sure if there was a replica Pinocchio Joe guitar it would sell much faster than a lovingly reproduced replica of one of our generation's most recognizable and beloved guitars. NOT!
I don't know who Dave is so I can't comment on whether or not he's dumb but I do know the Gibson folks are not saying the replica is exactly as it was at Woodstock. The Gibson website just says "the "Peace" signs that fans of this blues-rocker will remember from the film Woodstock" I think that's exactly accurate. There are no other references to Woostock at all other than to say people will remember Alvin playing Big Red at Woodstock. Which they sure as hell do. I think they did the exact right thing in replicating the guitar as it is today, obviously Alvin Lee considers the changes since the Woodstock days to be improvements.
I got to see the guitar at the NAMM show and its really a beauty (I read that another fan got to play it, I wasn't that lucky). I have so little doubt that its worth $4500 that I already have my name on the list to get one.
Rock On,
Les Coffman
Saw that post from Duh-Dave. Toni, you nailed it...he just has an issue with anything positive coming out about Alvin...it is so transparent....yet he is so dense, he does not see what an a*s he makes of himself every time he spews his old tired rhetoric.
Peiter, briliant post on the history of Big Red....
Wish I had an extra 4k laying around, what a deal.
Maybe the Production Model...
Thanks Pieter- I've learned a lot from that. However, you did ask if anyone had any further comments, and I've got a few.
Firstly, Alvin has always referred to it as a 1958 model, and you've written 1958/9. The truth is that it's a 1959. The 335 first came out in 1958 - but the cherry red finish was not issued until 1959. Meaning no disrespect to Alvin, the people who are most likely to know are Gibson themselves, and I notice that they've referred to this new replica guitar as a "1959" model, quite possibly after having Alvin's in themselves to check out every aspect of it before producing the replica.
You're right that the Fender single coil pickup was added quite early in TYA's career. I would say 1967, with 1968 as the absolute latest. Strangely though, that extra volume control knob did not appear until about five years later, i.e. 1972, at the earliest.
Did you make a typo on the date that the red and black "peace" sign (or the "ban the bomb" sign, as we say in the UK)appeared? You've written something about 1976 - but it was clearly there at Woodstock - 1969.
Yes, I've read about the "banging it on the ceiling a the Marquee" story too. Trouble with that tale is that there is no record of TYA playing at the Marquee in the time frame in question (1970, 1971 or so). Not that that is surprising, as they had moved well beyond the club stage by then. So that story has always puzzled me a bit.
You said the Bigsby tremelo came off in the early '70s. You might be right, but the date is early 1970, at the very latest. Personally, I think it was off by late 1969.
Then there is the 1970 and 1971 Gibson 345 saga. (Now owned by Herb.)Started off straight - then got progressively more stickered - including a "peace" sign on the upper horn. Then - oblivion.
And what was that other early '70s cherry red Gibson 335 episode about? This was one has no "peace" sign on the upper horn, and a "Ten Years After" sticker on the lower horn. Trapeze tailpiece and block marker inlays. If you ever see Alvin pictured wearing his purple outfit with the stars on the shoulders, then he's playing this guitar. It's not Big Red for - as someone needs to mention, but I don't think Gibson will be copying - the most distinctive sign of Big Red is the tornado-shaped scratch directly above the upper f-hole, which this particular cherry red 335 doesn't have.
So, there's more mileage in the Big Red story yet...
Hello Rod ? ( RS).
Thank you for the comment always nice to share toughts.
It is tru Alvin always refered about the Big red was a 58 model .I also saw that the Gibson ad refered to a model 1959 ( they probbely chequed it again at the factory against the serial nr )that is why i wrote 58/59.to keep both sides as option ( very diplomatic )
Yes the fender single coil was probbely added to the guitar mid 60ties i mean than arround 1965.66.67.
I made ofcourse a wrong typo about that Alvin got the sticker ( nu nukes ) at the Fillmore West in San Fransisco. in 1976 it is 1967 ofcourse is is a writing mistake sorry i ment 67 not 76.
Yest that PURPLE outfit with the stars on the sholders,is acctually red with black stars on the sholders i know i have seen it opclose , even touched it......this was the outfit i liked best on Alvin. As i recall he has a nother similar outfit yes maby that is purple/white sholders and black stars on it. I wonder where that is??????.....
I have investigate that one ...
Yest there is no record about T.Y.A that they have playd at the Marquee. that period that Alvin broke the nechk of by banging it in to the low ceeling . I got these facts from Alvin Himself in an Interview he did in 1987 with GUITARIST magazin Volume 3 Number 11 side 38 Alvin says " But when i broke the neck at the Marquee,owing it to the ceiling being so low. I send it back to Gibson for repair".......
RS a lot of concerst were never recorded. I give 3 Examples of concerts i have attended ,wich never er no record from . Amsterdam 2 oktober 1971. Amsterdam 26 Jan 1972 Rotterdam 24 march 1972. You never find these recorded in no dates but i still have the tickets .
I wrote the bigsby came of in the beginning of the 70ties You are probbebly right .Alvin played at the fillmore in 1970 without the bigsby but in febrary. Than he remouved the Bigsby between 17 august 1969 and febr 1970. But late 1969 ( You wrote), is almost the same as beginning 1970.
The other Gibsons Es 335 tc with the trapeze stoptail and TEAS sticer under the Trapeze . and STP and Ten Years After Watt Tour sticker sticker ,i am working
on that story for later.
The Gibson Es 345 The I.O.W.guitar ,ihave not so much info about that, exept that regrettebly Herb is in possesion of it. I SHOULD be in Toni`s possesion. At a real fan`s home.
Love and Peace.

Hi Pieter,
You should have been in the UK a couple of months ago. There was an hour long serious documentary about Ronnie Wood - I know he's one of your favourites.
About the Big Red at The Marquee story. I too have read Alvin's interview in Guitarist (April 1987) where he says he broke the neck on the low ceiling at The Marquee. (In fact, I sent it over to Toni several years ago and she reprinted it in Rock On.) I've got slight doubts about that story though. One is for the reason I have already given, namely that (although you are correct that many gigs are still unrecorded) TYA weren't playing gigs at that sort of venue at the time in question. A second reason is that it is coincidentally close to a famous Pete Townshend story. When asked why The Who used to smash their equipment up in the '60s Pete says that one night they were playing in The Marquee. He swung his guitar up into the ceiling and the neck broke. He got so angry that he smashed the rest of it up. The crowd went apesh ... er, wild - and so equipment-smashing became part of the act after that. So you see what I mean.
Toni has said - and I've heard Alvin say it too - that his memory is a bit unreliable about some aspects of the old days. For instance, I have an interview where he is asked about the origins of "I'm Going Home". His answer was that at the gig when Undead was recorded they'd run out of material - so he just made IGH up there and then ... on the spot. Apart from wondering how the other three telepathically managed to play along quite so well, there is also the worrying factor that Toni's gigography reports IGH being played at gigs much earlier in 1968 than that.
So - nothing against Alvin - but I think that ALL rock stars' stories of their exploits and history from so long ago need a little independent verifiaction - and if that isn't possible, consume them with a pinch of the proverbial sodium chloride.
Granted. Hey, it the 60s....at least he remembers some of it!
Yeah Ronnie Wood is a funny sympathic Happy Dawn Good guitarplayer He fits best IN the Stones And with Rod Steward. I do not agree with Ronnie Solo. I do not like Keith Solo eighter. But Mick is great Solo. Maby somebody taped the documentary i can buy it from.
But ALVIN LEE IS MY IDOL !!!!
Hope to meet you sometimes as well RS. You are sitting in with a lot of knowledge. I had such a great time meeting ,Rosie,Kim,Alan,Jari,Jerry,Ian during the Alvin Lee UK tour. Were were YOU?
Looking forward to USA as well one time Swimming in Toni`s pool.
About the Marquee... I would certainly remember if i was Alvin where i broke my Gibson. Does the Marquee have a low ceiling ???
L&P and Keep On Tokin` (like Peter Tosh once said).
Pieter kentrop
Pieter - I went to one of last year's UK gigs, the one at Dartford. As you may well be aware, that's Mick and Keith's home town, as it happens. As kids, they lived just around the corner from each other - I know the two houses in question - and went to the same primary school. Mick's dad wrote a best-selling book on basketball and so, in the early '50s, the Jaggers moved to an expensive, brand new, four-bedroomed house in the nearby village of Wilmington. They named the house "Newlands". (Call me a saddo, but when we moved into our own brand new, four-bedroomed house I gave it the same name.) Keith's home was hit (not directly) by a German V2 flying bomb at the end of the second world war. Neighbours caught the brunt of it, and some were killed. When Keith tells the story he gives the impression that the Richards (him - only child - Bert and Doris) were there at the time. In fact, they were staying in Mansfield, where his dad was being treated at an orthopaedic hospital for war injuries. Interestingly, enough, less than a decade later, this would be the very same hospital where local Mansfield lad Leo Lyons would be treated for his polio. On returning to Dartford, the Richards were re-housed in a council house (US translation: housing project)- and this was when he and Mick lost touch.
Maybe Alvin's Marquee tale is true. You're right - he should know. But it's fun tracing all the evidence and clues and seeing what does and doesn't stack up. I look forward to learnig from you about that other mystery early '70s cherry red 335. One last comment about Big Red though: I wonder if the guy who sold it to Alvin ever knew what became of it? Imagine going along to his local Nottingham cinema in 1970 and seeing his old guitar up there on the silver screen, about ten times its normal size, in "Woodstock".
Nice to see/read/hear your stories of yester-year.
You may consider,oh I don't know...teaching English, or something along those lines as you certainly have a way with the mighty pen...or pencil...or keys...or...or...ok I am done....
I've recently been in touch with an old friend of Alvin's from Nottingham and he has given me the name of the original Big Red owner (or at least, as he remembers it). I've thought it might be fun to try to track him down and tell him about the half million dollar offer Alvin received for it - but that seems a bit cruel, no?
Great story.
I wisch i was in dartford too. I visited Edit Grove where Brain Mick and Keith lived in rediciolous houshold as Charlie Watts stated.
I i was the guy who sold Alvin the Big Red and see it on the screen in the cinema ( woodstock ) ,i think i would tuched and mighty proud.
About the "replacement " Es 335 Trapeze tailpiece ,( you can see it on the cover of R&R Music T.T.World),Alvin used wile the Big Red was in for repair. I wonder who bought it .Herb told me ( us on the other board ) that it was sold on a auction for $ 14000.00 Dollars. With the stickers on it.
Can the one who bought it please step foreward.
I just wanted to say how proud I am to be an Alvin Lee fan. I graduated from Lynbrook High School in San Jose, CA. in 1980 and there were only about 2 or 3 fans of his in the entire school. Now to see that Gibson has made a replica of his guitar fills me with a sense of satisfaction.
Gerard.....small world....
I graduated from Fremont High in 83....my daughter graduated from Lynbrook last year, with another graduating this year from Lynbrook.
Alvin Rocks!
The true history of the first 1958 Gibson cherry 335 with Bigsby is it was finished Dec 15. 1958, more than a year before it was offered as an option color.
It came factory wired in stereo.
It's in a private collection.
The s# is: A28800 and came with a California Girl case made by Stone Case Co.
My neice is graduating from Lynbrook this year: Christine Kehoe.
WTF!! is this ,Rowe??
Dark side in a uproar??
I believe there was a sticker on the old dot neck headstock.
Great stories about Big Red, Pieter, RS, Toni - thanks! And here's what Alvin himself said about it (hope you forgive me Toni, it's from http://alvinlee.com/equipment.html)
Working on the 335 electronics is a bit like keyhole surgery. I used to fasten guitar strings to the pots, toggle switch and jack socket before dropping them into the body and pulling them out of the F holes. That way, there is a good chance of getting them back in place again later. Loads of fun when one of them falls of!!!!!!
Darn, how much I miss our old friend and his great sense of humour already..
Hey, just so you know, I'm not the dumb Dave Toni refers to. What you guys needed to have experienced, was to actually hold & play Big Red. I got to for about 10 min. W/Alvin. He went and got his backup guitar, saying he couldn't play mine! (I have very low action on my 335 & very light strings. 008 set.). It took all I had, & this was backstage at a gig in Az., I had been playing 6 days a week, & I was in good playing shape, it took all I had to bend his strings! Also, the action was very high! He said "how do you play this thing?" referring to my 66 335, I said, "back at ya!" about his 335! The guitar (in 82) was in very good shape, it had some battle scars, but was very well-made and sturdy. The finish on the body seemed rough, due to the stickers. One of our roadies took a picture of me playing Big Red, but, as time goes on, I can't find the picture. One other thing: I first met Alvin at the Tower records in Hollywood in '78. Rocket Fuel was just out, and he and Tom, and Mick came for a autograph session. That's where he drew a schematic on my pad of paper, on how to wire a start pickup with a separate vol control to the back humbucker. He was a little "happy" at the time, but treated everyone with respect. I said to him "These things are a pain in the ass, right?" . He just smiled and shrugged. So 4 yrs later, when we met backstage where we opened for him, he was the same guy!! He asked if we had met before, I said yeah, but it was at a record store. He remembered the schematic, and old me the guy who did my mods on my 335 "did a excellent job". Just to recap, he was the same guy both times! I think Pieter got to play Big Red, maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, I'm not the dumb Dave Toni refers to. (I hope!)
No, my friend, you are not Dumb Dave. You are Sweet Dave.
I saw Alvin break the guitar. It was indeed at The Marquee but I can't remember exactly when. I remember, at the end of the show, Alvin threw it over the back of the Marshalls and saw a roadie pick it up afterwards with the neck snapped off. Really didn't notice Alvin bang it on the ceiling, either then or at all the other gigs they did there. Don't recall the ceiling being particularly low at The Marquee.

I am thinking more of questions about the Bible, but I' m open to debate anything. I guess I'll start off with an opening question.
The Bible says that you need to be married before you have sex. It also says it's a sin to get a divorce unless your spouse is unfaithful. So if you spouse is unfaithful and you get a divorce is it a sin to have sex un-married?

That's my wish for them this season also, especially the second part.Hope for next season they know, what to do and will not change nothing. And will not try something what judges ask to do
I am not sure/ CL didnt get all 10th for choreo, like VM ((9,96).They made it pretty clear, they favour a traditional Carmen.
Another question - NDP get the same mark for choroe with Carmen. And i am wonder, why nobody (i mean specialists) pay attention to this
And there is only one mark in PCS, wich show how skaters skate there program today - perfomance. So i am wonder, why all agree with this situation in ice dance. We didnt see the same in men skating (for example).
Last edited by pani; 05-25-2013 at 03:27 PM.
I just think that, if Virtue and Moir would have been the only senior Ice Dance Team skating to Carmen, their program would have had a different impact (on the judges). Same goes for Capellini and Lanotte: they would have had a better impact, if they got their "own" program without the constant comparison.
Regarding the marks for performance: I have no idea. I doubt there will ever be scoring system that sufficiently covers all. Part of the system will always be the impact you left from former competition, the judges know the scores and maybe saw the recent competitive skates, so they know where you are most vulnerable. It is all about creating momentum with those judges.

I hope you all have a nice sunday and way better weather than we have in the Netherlands!
It's been very hot in Latvia for these past 2 weeks. I even was on the beach, and the water wasn't cold at all! For one day Latvia was second hottest nation in Europe behind Spain! I think that says everything. Now it's a little bit colder, there were some thunderstorms this week, but it's still warm out there!
And, get well soon, Emdee!
From no Tessa to Tessa's head to all of Tessa: another group picture of Stars on Ice:
(this actually just a very lame excuse to keep the thread going )
I'm sorry Tessa and Scott but in that pic the only thing I could focus on was the blue pants
Does anyone think that T&S will take Cup of Russia as their first pick instead of Skate Canada? Or will they go for SC and TEB?
Patrick will likely go for the SC & TEB combination and historically Patrick and TS pick the same GPs. On the other hand picking Cup of Russia maybe a good political move for both T&S and Patrick.
Also speculating to keep the thread going.

Well, for a while anyway, UNC-Chapel Hill will not say it doesnt have room to grow when it comes to research in the health sciences.
Marsico Hall, named for long-time generous donor Thomas F. Marsico of Denver, has 340,000 square feet. It is now the third-largest building on a campus with a lot of big buildings. Marsico Hall is all about the health sciences, including pharmacy and imaging equipment of the very latest variety, spread over three floors.
And were there any question that this is first and foremost a research facility, the other six floors of the building are mainly lab space.
The building also, university officials say, helps the medical school and pharmacy schools work more closely, and will consolidate the field of pulmonary research in one place.
A walkway hitches the building to the famed Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Eshelman School of Pharmacy will expand research as well.
Where theres a lab, theres a way ... to involve UNCs scientific superstar, the researcher and entrepreneur Joe DeSimone, and hell have lab space in the new building as well.
This building is a symbol, in a way, of the ongoing development of health sciences, and its another investment on top of UNCs new cancer hospital, the funding for which was pushed through the General Assembly by former state Senate leader Marc Basnight of Manteo. Hes the one who created the University Cancer Research Fund, which provides a $50 million annual state contribution to cancer research.
Marsico has, for such a generous guy (some $40 million in contributions in total, although this building was paid for, at $245 million, mostly with state funding) kept a fairly low profile. He has two children who are UNC alums, although his interest in medical care came about because of his own experience with childhood pneumonia and his friendship with a couple who have a child with cystic fibrosis.

Rule of Law? Whose Law?Working Paper
Gerhard Casper - Stanford University
Issued by
CDDRL Working Papers, page(s): 28
August 2004
The rule of law is a concept much in use to identify what is missing in many countries. It is a widespread and frequently repeated truism that the world in general, and the developing world in particular, needs "the rule of law." Most people do not have a very precise idea of what they mean when they invoke the rule of law. The reference is rich in historical and doctrinal connotations and therefore suggestive of meaning that is, however, hard to pin down.
Topics: Rule of law | Rule of law and corruption

Culinary arts met the fine arts Thursday as Indian Hills Community College and the Ottumwa Laureate Guild tried a new event.
"Soup for the Arts" included work by local restaurants — various soups for those who bought tickets — and by artists with a local connection, who hand-crafted the pottery in which the soup was served.
Culinary Arts students from IHCC helped serve, as did Laureate Guild members.
There was excitement about many of the bowls. While many enjoyed bowls by art instructors Mark McWhorter and Lisa Fritz, their work teaching was mentioned with enthusiasm, too. Some of their graduates, now working artists, contributed pottery to the event.
Linda Gaumer, one of the organizers, and Jenette Curran of Ottumwa had been discussing one of those former students. Finally, they found the Judd Jarvis Ceramics bowl they'd sought.
"There's an amazing variety," Curran said of the styles potters used.
Based on its popularity, Gaumer expects the event will occur again next year. They sold the maximum number of tickets they could, 200, based on the number of bowls produced.
"This is the [event's] first year," she said. "Next year, even more people will have heard about it."

Engineers are responsible for many of mankind's greatest feats. Now they are turning their attention to the very foundations of life on this planet and beyond. Recent breakthroughs in genomic sciences have many thinking about designing and building living systems from scratch. Luminescent trees to replace street lamps, bugs that happily eat the world's worst pollution and greener fuels for our cars are all ideas considered to be feasible in the near future. We will discuss the science and technology that are driving these endeavors and sort through the hype, utility and ethics of this new field of science. This lecture is presented by Ryan McGuinness, a Silicon Valley-based scientist and entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in integrating biology with technology.
The lecture is one hour with an hour after each lecture to socialize with other adults and meet the speaker. Refreshments will be served.
