Red Sox turn and face problemsBy JIMMY GOLEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | March 28,2013AP PHOTO
Jonny Gomes (center) is one of the players the Red Sox signed in this years attempt to rebuild their team, and tarnished image.The Boston Red Sox knew they couldnt ignore the awful results of the last two seasons, so they decided to address the issue directly.
In billboards around Boston and a full-page newspaper ad, the team presents its motto for 2013: Whats broken can be fixed.
Its a marketing slogan. But I think this one has the added virtue of being true and transparent, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said as the team embarked on spring training and began the effort to make fans forget the previous 199 games.
We know that last year and the final month of the preceding year were the beginning of a very downward trend for this franchise, a historic collapse, a disastrous 2012; that it was no secret that things needed to be repaired, reset, rebuilt, reloaded, reset whatever R word you want to use. And that acknowledging it was probably and honest way to approach the season.
The first step in the tear-down was the August trade that shipped underperforming and over-complaining Josh Beckett, along with Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and more than a quarter-billion in future salaries, to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then they got rid of manager Bobby Valentine, who was brought in to shake up Terry Franconas coddled and complacent clubhouse but made too many enemies in the process.
Bobby didnt go out there and get any hits or make any errors or do any of that. We lost those games. Its on us, said second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who had never finished the season on a losing team before. I dont want it to happen again. ... Weve got to do everything better than we did last year. It was difficult. We had a tough time. We lost a lot of games. So I think everybodys motivated to make sure that doesnt happen again.
Now the Red Sox turn to manager John Farrells steady and familiar style to turn around one of the worst stretches in the history of the franchise.
The former Red Sox pitching coach had been teams first choice before it hired Valentine after the unprecedented collapse in September of 2011. Farrell moved south from the Toronto Blue Jays to take over the team that is rebuilding after its salary and talent purge sent it to the bottom of the AL East but provided the chance at a fresh start in 2013.
Instead of a big splash on the free agent market, the Red Sox made a series of smaller moves in the offseason, acquiring starter Ryan Dempster and closer Joel Hanrahan along with first baseman Mike Napoli, outfielder Shane Victorino and shortstop Stephen Drew. Outfielder Jonny Gomes and catcher David Ross were also added in the offseason, and outfield prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. has impressed this spring.
Pedroia is back in the infield, Jacoby Ellsbury is in center field and David Ortiz will be the designated hitter when healthy, which probably wont be on opening day because of inflammation in both heels. Third base is Will Middlebrooks job to lose, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia will catch when Ross doesnt.
The Red Sox are hoping for bounce-back years from Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz now that Farrell, their former pitching coach, is back and they are out from under Becketts influence. Dempster solidifies a rotation that was suspect in 2012, Felix Doubront has the potential to contribute and John Lackey, who missed all of last season with Tommy John surgery, has a chance for a fresh start as well.
Everybody who has surgery has doubt, for sure, when you first start throwing. Got a big zipper in my arm for a reason, Lackey said. At the end of last season when I came down here and threw two innings, I felt pretty good about that. Things went well and I had a normal offseason and that was nice in terms of confidence coming into this season.
Lackey hopes to recapture the form that once made him a Game 7 winner, in the 2002 World Series for the Angels. The Red Sox twice won the World Series since then, but those glory days seemed a long way away recently at Fenway Park.
I dont think we played to our potential, Saltalamacchia said. Going through what we went through last year, it wasnt us. Its not Red Sox baseball and we all know that. Even guys that come in from another team, right away you know what Red Sox baseball is about and last year wasnt that. So I think we all have a chip on our shoulder.

Japanese mayor: Comfort women necessarytags: World War II, AP, Japan, comfort women, sex slaves
TOKYO (AP) — An outspoken nationalist mayor said the Japanese military's forced prostitution of Asian women before and during World War II was necessary to "maintain discipline" in the ranks and provide rest for soldiers who risked their lives in battle.
The comments made Monday are already raising ire in neighboring countries that bore the brunt of Japan's wartime aggression and have long complained that Japan has failed to fully atone for wartime atrocities.
Toru Hashimoto, the young, brash mayor of Osaka who is co-leader of an emerging conservative political party, also said that U.S. troops currently based in southern Japan should patronize the local sex industry more to help reduce rapes and other assaults....

Jennifer Aniston looking out for directorial debut
Jennifer Aniston is on the hunt for the perfect film so she can make her directorial debut.
The former "Friends" star has taken on two short films but now she wants to direct a feature.
She tells WENN, "Directing is the next big hurdle I want to take on. I've done some short films that I just loved the experience of doing. I'm just waiting for that wonderful window and that wonderful script and that will be the next move for me."
But don't expect her to get behind the camera for an action film or thriller: "I don't think you'd want to see my directorial version of a horror film or The Matrix kind of thing! I love the human experience and behavior, relationships; so it will probably have something to do with that."
Aniston's directorial credits are the shorts "Mia" and "Room 10."
'Friends' stars reunite for talk show sketch
"Friends" stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow reunited for a sketch based on the hit sitcom for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" On Wednesday.
The talk show host surprised viewers during an interview with Aniston when he unveiled a replica set of Monica's kitchen from the comedy, which ran for ten years until 2004.
Kimmel presented Aniston with a script and the pair read a fake scene between her character Rachel and Ross, played by Kimmel, about "making love." The audience then erupted with screams and cheers as Cox and Kudrow walked through the set door.
All four then took part in the sketch, reading from Kimmel's script as their respective characters and criticizing his storyline before reciting lines from the show's theme song, "I'll Be There For You" by the Rembrandts.
The sketch marked the 20th anniversary of the comedy. A replica of the show's Central Perk cafe will be recreated in Manhattan to celebrate the milestone next month.
Chelsea Handler sent pals Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux hairy pizza
Comedienne Chelsea Handler once freaked out pals Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux by sending them a pizza with one of her hair extensions.
The talk show host was dining out and invited Aniston and her fiancé to join her, and when they declined the offer for a night in, Handler sent them a creepy treat.
Theroux returned the strands during a recent taping of the comedienne's show, "Chelsea Lately," revealing, "Chelsea sent that up to our house with a pizza. We didn't know who it was from. … Our doorbell rang and there was a pizza delivered to our house and we opened it up and it was an extension pizza."
Handler explained, "I had hair extensions and I wanted them to meet me for dinner and they texted me and said they weren't in the mood to go out, 'Come on over'.
"I said, 'No thanks, but my hair will be there'. And the place I was at was nice enough (to send it with a pizza). … I can't believe you've been saving this. This is so sweet."
Justin Theroux jokes about weekend wedding story
Jennifer Aniston's fiancé Justin Theroux appears to have dismissed reports suggesting the couple is set to wed in Mexico on Saturday, by joking about the date on a late night TV show.
Speculation about the couple's big day went into overdrive this week when sources told America's tabloids that Aniston and Theroux were planning to jet off to Mexico to exchange their vows this weekend.
But Theroux joked about the story during an appearance on pal Jimmy Kimmel's show on Thursday.
When the host quizzed him about the cover story on the new issue of Star magazine, Theroux shot back, "I wish Us magazine (sic) would put that on my calendar!"
He didn't comment further, but recently told reporters at a red carpet event that he and Aniston were in no rush to get married.
Paparazzo arrested while snapping Jennifer Aniston
A paparazzo was arrested for trespassing on Tuesday night after attempting to take pictures of Jennifer Aniston at a West Hollywood restaurant.
Staff at popular celebrity eatery Madeo reportedly called police after the over-eager snapper allegedly stepped onto private property to gain a good view of the Horrible Bosses actress while she was dining.
Aniston later exited the restaurant via a private rear door and hopped into a waiting car as the man, who has not been identified, was detained by sheriffs in front of the venue.
Jennifer Aniston silences Justin Theroux split rumors
Jennifer Aniston silenced rumors of a split from Justin Theroux by turning out to support her fiancé at the launch of his new TV show.
The Hollywood couple became engaged in 2012, but two years later, they have yet to show any signs they are planning to walk down the aisle.
Gossip about a possible split recently surfaced as the stars have not been seen out in public together for several months, but they dismissed the speculation at the premiere of Theroux's new TV project "The Leftovers."
The couple walked the red carpet together at the launch event in New York City on Monday night, while they also put on a public display of affection in front of the cameras, hugging and holding hands.
Jennifer Aniston once dated her TV co-star Charlie Schlatter
Actress Jennifer Aniston enjoyed a brief, secret romance with her co-star Charlie Schlatter while they were filming a TV adaptation of film classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," according to former set assistant-turned-magazine editor Jim Nelson.
Nelson, who now serves as Editor-in-Chief of America's GQ, reveals he used to be an assistant for one of the show's comedy writers in 1990 and discovered Aniston had become involved with her onscreen brother Schlatter, who tackled the title role made famous by Matthew Broderick.
In a piece for the new edition of GQ, he writes, "To Aniston worshippers, I can offer little dirt.
"She was lovely, kept to herself on the set, smoldering a bit like her outraged character, 17-year-old Jeannie Bueller. She was a brunette then, with none of (her 'Friends' character) Rachel Green's bob or self-possession.
"GQ can exclusively report that everyone on set thought she was hot, including Schlatter, with whom she had a brief, torrid romance – while playing, it must be said, his older sister. To we immaturions on the show, this seemed extra-hot. Like performative incest."
The romance and the TV series didn't last – "Ferris Bueller" was axed midway through its first season, but Aniston went on to land her big break on "Friends" in 1994.
She is now engaged to actor Justin Theroux, while Schlatter is now a married to Colleen Gunderson.
Are Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux going to elope?
If 'Wanderlust' is a desire to travel the world, then is it a coincidence Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux who met on a movie of the same name may want to elope to Mexico?
Jennifer Aniston enjoys double date holiday with Howard Stern
Jennifer Aniston and her fiance Justin Theroux have jetted off to Mexico for a festive break with Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Ostrosky Stern.
Ansiton and her partner have joined the shock jock and his wife for a sun-soaked post-Christmas vacation in Cabo San Lucas.
The two couples are staying in the same luxury villa and have been spotted relaxing together on the beach. They have been joined by Aniston's former
"Friends" co-star Courteney Cox and pregnant actress Emily Blunt.
Gwyneth Paltrow attends Jennifer Aniston's holiday party
Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston proved there were no hard feelings with his former fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow this weekend by inviting the Oscar winner to a star-studded holiday party at her California home.
Aniston celebrated Christmas a little early this year by hosting her annual bash with her fiancé, actor Justin Theroux, and Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, were among the 50 guests who gathered for the outdoor event on a chilly Sunday.
Other attendees included Robert Downey, Jr., Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher, Jason Bateman and Aniston's best pals, Courteney Cox and Chelsea Handler.
Aniston split from Pitt in 2005 after five years of marriage, while Paltrow became engaged to the Hollywood hunk when they dated from 1994 to 1997.

Looking for any family of Bengta/Bungta Andersen who married a Hansen in the general area of Sioux City, Iowa in the early 1800s. One son, Andrew, was born in this area June 3, 1850. Not sure if Andrews brother, Walter, or sister, Anna, were born here or after the family returned to Denmark probably in the early 1850s. Bengta returned from Denmark with the children around 1865 to the same general area of Iowa/Nebraska that they left, probably had family there. After staying in this area for a (few?) years, the went to Utah for awhile. Andrew went further West and Walter and Anna returned to this area to a small (now non-existant) town of Admah after a short stay in Utah, again probably because family was there. Bengta didn't return with them (possibly died). Walter was killed in a farming accident sometime after returning to the Admah area.

Rosarian Tips for November:
If there are any
signs of blackspot or powdery mildew lingering in your rose garden, sanitize by removing
diseased leaves to eliminate the potential of harboring spores over
the winter. When roses have gone dormant, you may use a fungicide spray to get
rid of diseases by spraying the rose bush, around the surface area of the rose,
and the surrounding areas that could harbor diseases.
Winter protection helps to shield roses from freezing,
from the drying winter winds, and to lessen the effects of the freeze/thaw
cycles as spring emerges. When roses are exposed to pro-longed periods of low
temperatures (23 degrees or lower), they go into a state of dormancy. Roses with
southern exposure or ones planted against a brick wall are less vulnerable and
would require minimal protection. Shrub roses and own root roses are hardier and
can do well with minimal-to-no winterizing, while rose varieties such as hybrid
teas, some modern roses, or minis will benefit from winter protection.
Once we've had a few nights with temps in the teens or
20s, but before single digits, you can protect your semi-hardy roses by using a
few shovels of dirt to cover the base of the rose, especially if the graft is
exposed. If your roses are exposed to the elements, a rose collar can be
purchased or you can make one using wire and place about 12 to18 inches of mulch
inside. When applying winter mulch, be sure that air and water can get down to
the roots, so apply loosely—do not pack the mulch. After roses become dormant,
evaluate rose canes. If they are taller than 3 feet, you may want to consider
cutting them back to prevent breakage from heavy snows.
On warm days during a dry winter, water roses midday
before another cold spell to ensure that the roots are hydrated. Roots suffer
more in dry soil than in wet soil.

Sentencing for Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold has been set for 10 a.m. March 14 in the county's Circuit Court in Annapolis.
The Anne Arundel County Council is slated to vote Monday on legislation designed to ensure that Leopold is removed from office. The council's meeting comes after Leopold's conviction Tuesday afternoon on two counts of misconduct in office.
Under Anne Arundel County's charter, the County Council may declare a vacancy under certain conditions, including if the executive is convicted of a felony or crime of moral turpitude or, as Leopold was, of misfeasance or malfeasance in office.
Anne Arundel's voters approved the provisions as an amendment to the county's charter in November.
Under those provisions, five of seven council members would have to vote to declare the executive's office vacant. By law, the council would select from the same political party as Leopold, a Republican, an interim county executive to complete his term, which ends in December 2014.
Maryland voters in November also approved an amendment to the state's Constitution that provides for suspending a public official upon conviction of a crime. Before that change took effect, state law removed officials from office upon sentencing.
Questions have been raised about how and whether changes in the law apply in the case of Leopold, who was indicted before the amendments took effect.
Meanwhile, Anne Arundel County Chief Administrative Officer John Hammond is acting county executive under an executive order that Leopold signed Monday, two days before his conviction.
On Tuesday, Judge Dennis M. Sweeney issued a guilty verdict for Leopold's misuse of his security officers for political and campaign activities. Sweeney also found Leopold guilty of using his security detail and other county employees for personal purposes while they were on duty and paid by the county. Leopold had opted for a trial before the judge in Anne Arundel Circuit Court.
Sweeney castigated Leopold in announcing his verdict, saying that the county executive's use of employees to do functions like empty his urinary catheter bag was "abusive and outrageous and exceeded any right that any employer, either private or public, would have to demand of employees who were hired to perform office or security work."
The judge also accused Leopold of demonstrating an "overbearing arrogance and sense of entitlement that is unworthy of someone supposed to be a public servant."
Sweeney also found Leopold not guilty of two counts of misusing county officers to conceal his relationship with a county employee.
Leopold's lawyers have not said whether the verdict will be appealed.
State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt declined to comment on what he would recommend as a sentence. But common law offenses such as those Leopold was convicted of carry open-ended sentences that are up to the judge's discretion.
As the verdict was read, Leopold looked ashen. The judge's decision came shortly after closing arguments concluded Tuesday.
Leopold was accused of misusing his county-paid security detail and scheduler, while on duty, to run personal errands, hide an affair with a county employee from his live-in girlfriend and assist in his 2010 re-election bid.
Leopold directed his security officers to pick up and deposit campaign contributions, distribute campaign signs for his county staff to install, maintain the signs and compile dossiers on political opponents, according to the indictment.
"Most of the time, Leopold was sitting back in the office [and] this activity was not remotely related to the protection of Mr. Leopold," Deputy State Prosecutor Thomas M. McDonough told Sweeney, near the end of more than four hours of final arguments.
Lawyers for Leopold argued that police officers and other employees who accompany or work closely with elected leaders are commonly called on to assist with a variety of errands, including some that are personal.
His lawyers said they did not challenge some witnesses who testified that they were required or expected to do tasks they disagreed with, including emptying a urinary catheter bag Leopold used after back surgery, because the witnesses were not required to do the tasks and didn't express dissatisfaction.
Those employees acted out of "compassion" because Leopold was in "excruciating pain," defense attorney Bruce Marcus said.
County workers were entitled to campaign for Leopold, if they chose, and Leopold was entitled to have security accompany him, but not in a wrongful manner, McDonough said.
Leopold was "orchestrating a process" to carry on his affair that had county workers fielding phone calls from his lover and patrolling at a distance while he had trysts with her in parking lots, McDonough said.
"When they are circling around there's not a protective aspect — they are protecting him from political embarrassment," Davitt told Sweeney.
One of Leopold's political opponents, Joanna Conti, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for county executive in 2010, announced after the verdict that she plans to seek the seat again in 2014.
Conti said she was "very pleased" with the verdict. "It restored my faith," she said.
Leopold didn't answer questions about whether he would resign. Marcus said the county executive's defense team will develop for the court, before sentencing, a "fuller picture of Mr. Leopold as to his public service."

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a publication of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the official journal of the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS), Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plastica (SBCP), and Società Italiana di Chirurgia Plastica Ricostruttiva ed Estetica (SICPRE).
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Perhaps most important is the discussion of the role of aesthetic plastic surgery as the final step in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing longstanding and tedious reconstructive surgery for the repair of congenital, acquired, accidental, and neoplastic defects.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.

A Few Thoughts on the New EPA Rules
I'm already fielding e-mail from friends and people I know virtually about the EPA's proposed CO2 reduction plan for electricity plants. While I haven't had a chance to read it yet, mostly because it was released about a half hour ago, as I type this sentence, let me point out a few things:
- The main EPA page for the proposal is here: Clean Power Plan Proposed Rule, and it has several links to the complete ruling, facts sheets, and an analysis of the regulatory impact.
- The proposal is to cut CO2 from electricity plants by 30% compared to 2005 levels. Since we've already seen a drop in these emissions from 2005 to 2012 of over 15%, even 30% from this one sector isn't all that impressive, given that we're halfway there already.[1]
- We will see and hear endless apocalyptic howling from the fossil fuel industry and their financially and ideologically motivated minions. We'll hear about how these rules will derail the US economy, curve your, warp your mind, and lose the war for the Allies. It will all be utter horse shit, of course, but when did such niceties stop the people who carpet bomb the US media with ads for "clean coal"?
- Don't expect to see this plan, or whatever the political system morphs it into, go into effect right away or result in a new, massive wave of coal plant closures:
After the EPA finalizes its proposal in mid-2015, it will give states a year to design their own implementation plans. It will let states meet emission targets for power plants several ways, including through plant upgrades, switching from coal to natural gas, or by improving energy efficiency or promoting renewable energy "outside the fence," meaning outside the plant site. That approach will give states greater flexibility in designing plans to meet the EPA's targets.
- How much will these cuts mean, globally? In and of themselves, not much. As Brad Plumer points out:
Although carbon emissions have fallen in the United States, they're rising quickly in the rest of the world. And that means that global average temperatures are likely to rise more than 2C over pre-industrial levels — a limit widely deemed unacceptable.
The United States can hardly tackle this problem on its own: the country is responsible for 17 percent of global carbon emissions. So even if this new EPA rule cuts emissions from power plants by the rumored 15 percent, that will still amount to just 1 percent of global emissions.
Obama administration officials, for their part, see these new rules as just one step in the ongoing international climate talks with countries like China and India. The idea is that if the United States can hit its 17 percent target by 2020, that will help push global talks forward — and they're optimistic about further progress, citing a recent breakthrough with China to curtail hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a potent greenhouse-gas.
Is that all feasible? It's hard to say — no one really knows yet what future international agreements on climate change will look like. But it's a reminder that these power plant rules certainly won't solve global warming on their own.
- Do I really need to bust out Mr. Spreadsheet and extrapolate these CO2 emissions reductions to all sectors of all countries to show how far short of preventing 2C of warming they would leave us? The most dangerous ball of lies we're telling ourselves right now in terms of climate change are:
- 2C is a "safe" level of warming.[2]
- We can still avoid 2C of warming by taking steps like this 15, er, 30% cut from electricity plants.
- Because of the above two points, it's "too late" to do anything about climate change. The growing pain and expense of climate change impacts as a function of the amount of CO2 we dump into the atmosphere is not a binary, on/off switch: Stay below X degrees of warming or Y parts per million and everything is just peachy, but cross that threshold and the world dies a fiery death. More CO2 is more pain, and each additional amount of warming will trigger an even greater increase in pain than the prior increment of warming. So even with the extremely long atmospheric lifetime of CO2 and the associated lock-in effect, the worse things get, the greater our incentive to make drastic emissions cuts.
- The US political system is so broken, so blatantly an open bazaar where corporations can buy public policy puppets like so many street hookers, that it's hard to imagine any policy stronger than the new EPA proposal going into effect and not being killed by the next presidential administration or strangled by the purse strings controlled by the Congress. Countries like the US simply aren't experiencing enough pain for for enough people to say to politicians, "I don't give a rat's ass how many fossil fueled ads you run, you're not going to do as much about climate change as your opponent, so you don't get my vote." Until we reach the point of that grand civic epiphany on climate change, all we will do is greenwash and nibble around the edges of the problem.
- I am absolutely convinced the whole world, including the sleepwalking, voting-while-distracted US, will have that epiphany. It won't happen all at once, and it won't happen nearly soon enough, but it will happen. The only question is how much "hell and high water", to borrow Joe Romm's phrase, will we have locked in before that happens.
- So. How the hell do we climate communicators and, dare I say it, activists, get accelerate that awakening process? I have no bloody idea.
[1] See thr EPA's U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report, Table ES-2, and you'll see that electricity generation CO2 dropped from 2,402.1 million tons/year in 2005 to 2,022.7 in 2012.
[2] And no, I don't want to get into the bottomless pit of a discussion about what defines "safe", for whom, in what time frame, etc.

I liked your piece, puts it in perspective nicely.
Will this make a difference? Of course it will make some difference. Will it be leveraged into global change. I think the only way is if natural gas prices continue to rise and I think that is unlikely. So it is just another baby step towards the tipping point.
Perhaps the most valuable contribution it can make is getting the energy discussion front and center and hopefully outing the coal industry's blatant campaign of disinformation. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/may/08/conservative-thinktanks-obama-energy-plans?cat=environment&type=article

XPN's Gotta Hear Song of the Week: "When I'm Able" by The Revivalists
Soulful and rocking, The Revivalists are a seven piece band based in New Orleans. With horns a plenty, pedal steel and keyboards complementing the guitar, bass and drums setup, the band formed in 2007 and since then has become a major touring band and a fixture on the local New Orleans music scene. Fronted by David Shaw, the band's recent album, City of Sound was self-released in 2012 and was re-released with bonus live songs on Wind-Up Records last March. Continue reading →

Any idea what's going on here? Or how to make it work as intended?

Slade confirms Young will remain as Cardiff assistant
Russell Slade has given his first press conference as Cardiff City's new manager, and confirmed that caretaker Scott Young will be assistant manager.
Co-caretaker Danny Gabbidon has gone back to his role as player-coach, and Slade said that the remainder of his backroom staff will be sorted out in the next 48 hours.
The new manager met the media for the first time this morning, and also said that, while owner Vincent Tan can have his opinions on team selection, it will be Slade himself who picks the team.
Fans react to new Cardiff appointment
Football fans have taken to Twitter to have their say on the news that former Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade has been appointed the new manager of Cardiff City.

Slade will be officially unveiled at a press conference in the Vale of Glamorgan this morning.
Hope Russell slade can bring good things to the team. A bit of organisation for a start! #bluebirds
You weren't the person I was hoping for but you got my backing,welcome to cardiff Russell slade?? #sortemout

Cardiff City welcome Russell Slade as new manager
Cardiff City boss Vincent Tan has urged fans to 'give Russell a chance' as the club's new manager.
Russell Slade was named as Cardiff City's manager this evening, after weeks of speculation about his involvement with the club.
The appointment comes after the departure of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer last month.
I have personally offered Russell this opportunity after giving much thought to the needs of the Club at this point in time and firmly believe that he is the right person for the job.
The stability, integrity and experience that he brings is something I feel is essential for Cardiff City. He is capable of turning a group of players into an organised, tight-knit team, with great team spirit, who will work hard for each other while playing an attractive style of football.
I hope he will be able to bring the best out of our squad, and also help to unite everyone associated with the Club. So, let's all give Russell a chance.

BREAKING: Solskjaer on the brink of being sacked
Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in London for talks over his future with the club, ITV Wales understands. He is speaking to the club's chairman. It comes after Tuesday's one nil defeat to Middlesbrough. Solskjaer has admitted the performance was not good enough.
We just did not get going. Our first attack looked promising and then we got countered and conceded.
We didn't need to do that in the first few minutes, we wanted to go and turn things around from losing to Norwich on Saturday and that knocked our confidence.
We want to prove we are better than we showed against Norwich and it never happened.
The first half was very poor, we got more second balls in the second half and we pushed them back, but we did not create any moments of quality to open them up which was very disappointing.

Benet Lake monk charged in attempted abduction
Updated On: Apr 28 2013 04:36:46 PM CDT
Authorities said a Benedictine monk from southern Wisconsin has been charged with trying to abduct an Illinois teenager.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that 57-year-old Thomas Chmura was arrested last week.
He was charged with attempted child abduction and disorderly conduct and ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail Saturday.
Police alleged the 14-year-old was walking in the northern Illinois community of Antioch when a man in a station wagon asked if she needed a ride. The girl ran and he drove off.
The teen recounted the description of the man and car to police. Chmura was arrested Friday.
He's been living at St. Benedict's Abbey in Benet Lake, Wis., for more than three decades.
It was immediately unclear if he has an attorney. Messages left at St. Benedict's weren't returned.

Rockets hand Jazz worst home loss, 125-80
The Houston Rockets had plenty of trouble getting to Salt Lake City as a blizzard left them grounded for a while in western Colorado.
AP Sports Writer
The Houston Rockets had plenty of trouble getting to Salt Lake City as a blizzard left them grounded for a while in western Colorado.
Once they arrived, they made the Jazz pay, rolling to a 125-80 victory on Monday night and handing Utah the most-lopsided home loss in franchise history.
"We could have had Michael Jordan in his prime with us tonight . and it wouldn't have mattered (the way we played)," Jazz center Al Jefferson lamented.
"It was like everything went wrong. They came ready to play. I don't know where our energy was."
The Rockets, after recently suffering through a seven-game slide, are out of that funk. They have now won three straight and four of their last five.
"That's the way we have to play," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "We have to play with pace. We have to move the ball. The ball can't get sticky. It's got to go from side to side. And guys just got to make plays."
James Harden continued to do most of the damage, scoring 25 points despite sitting the entire fourth quarter with the rest of the Rockets starters.
Harden, selected as an All-Star for the first time recently, has averaged 27.2 points in his last five games.
When he wasn't driving the lane, the Rockets were pouring in 3-pointers.
They hit 16 of 34 on the night to tie their season high for shots made beyond the arc.
But it was their pace that floored the Jazz, outscoring Utah 26-2 on the break.
"That's how we play," Harden said. "If you watch Rockets basketball, you know we get out in transition and we get some stops. We just try to do a good job of that for 48 minutes."
The Rockets held Utah to 39.5 percent shooting, and the Jazz made just 5 of 18 3-pointers.
Carlos Delfino and Marcus Morris each hit four 3-pointers alone for Houston and Omer Asik tied a career high with 19 rebounds.
Every Rockets player scored, including six in double figures, with Morris adding 16 and Delfino 14.
"It was just fun because everyone was getting involved," said Chandler Parsons, who added 12 points. "And it was right from the tip. We wanted to emphasize transition defense and taking care of the ball. We did those two things beautifully tonight and played unselfish. Everyone was just having fun out there and it's a lot more fun to play that way."
Houston led by 21 points in the second, by 35 in the third and kept pouring it on in the fourth.
The Rockets closed the third with three straight 3s - two by Morris and one by Harden - then saw Morris drain another 3 to open the fourth.
By then the fans were already booing and heading for the exits.
"We should have been booing ourselves," said Jefferson, who had 10 points on 5-of-13 shooting.
Randy Foye led Utah with 12 points.
Utah trailed by 50 points before a driving layup by Alec Burks and 3-pointer by rookie Kevin Murphy in the final 20 seconds.
Utah's previous most-lopsided loss at home was by 33 points to Milwaukee on Nov. 18, 1980. It was the fifth worst overall for the franchise.
"I don't think this ruins us," said Gordon Hayward, who did not play because of a sprained shoulder.
Still, the Jazz hardly looked like the team that had won nine of their previous 12.
They had been undefeated at home in January - 6-0 - with their last loss in Salt Lake City coming Dec. 28 against the Los Angeles Clippers in which they blew a 21-point lead.
Unlike the Jazz, the Rockets weren't about to blow this one.
"I think this is something we definitely needed," said guard Jeremy Lin, who took only five shots Monday but made all five to finish with 12 points.
It was a special trip for Lin, who arrived in Salt Lake City early enough Sunday night to slip in for the last screening of the documentary "Linsanity" during the Sundance Film Festival.
The movie premiered about a year after Lin began catapulting to worldwide stardom in New York. He was an afterthought only a month before, cut by the Rockets on Christmas Day and claimed by the Knicks off waivers.
If his rise to fame was crazy, so was Monday's game.
"It's a testament to how the ball moved tonight and how everyone was looking for everybody. When you have a team play like that, play so unselfishly, it's a beautiful thing to watch," Lin said.
NOTES: Eighty-nine-year-old Wataru Misaka, the first player of Asian descent to play in the NBA, was at Monday's game to watch Lin warm up. Misaka, once discriminated against because of his Japanese ancestry, recalled writing Lin a note of encouragement "when he was with Oakland back in the dark days when things didn't look too good for him. He didn't have all these fans at this time but he's made a lot of progress since then and I think he's in a much better place now." Misaka, who lives in nearby Bountiful, is a former point guard who played for the New York Knicks in the 1947-48 season and led the University of Utah to the 1944 NCAA championship. "He broke a lot of barriers and racial stereotypes," Lin told the Houston Chronicle of Misaka. "You have to pay respect to the people who came before you." Lin is the first American-born NBA player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.

A Surprise From Our Pals at Auto World: A New Black 1/18 General Lee
I love surprises. I am no-spoilers kind of guy. I really love Dukes of Hazzard surprises. Our good friend Gregg over at Auto World laid a nice Dukes surprise on me recently and I very happy I can share it with the world. AW has a new black 1/18 General Lee on the way, and it looks to be the best one yet. Here is AW's info:
"AutoWorld is taking Dukes fans back to where it all began before the General Lee was the General Lee with this 1/18-scale Authentics 1969 Dodge Charger in black with newly tooled steel wheels as seen in the season 7 premiere episode "Happy Birthday General Lee". The party starts March 2015."
We all know from Auto World's General Lee that they don't skimp on details. This thing will have all kinds of goodies. Maybe we can convince Gregg and AW to hide a 1/18 bag of gold dust behind the panel just like the crooks, Rick and Ginny, did in the episode. It will be nice to have the ability to open the doors this time and get a better look at the detail.
This thing is going to be awesome.
The Gen'ral has been released in black several times before in 1/18 and other scales. Every time it has been released in the past, it has come with standard General Lee Vector wheels. We all know that the black Charger driven by Rick and Ginny at the beginning of the flashback episode didn't have the iconic wheels yet. They weren't added until after Cooter got a hold of the wreck and worked his magic. AW's new version will have the correct steel wheels. This will be the most accurate version of the "Happy Birthday General Lee" Charger released. Gregg said that these photos are of the prototype and there will be some changes made. The dash panel, engine coloring, and removal of the front plate will all be addressed. In AW's quote, it is mentioned that it will be released in March. I'll be sure to have a cake ready!

The Mythical Dukes of Hazzard Swimming Pool!!!
There are a few items in the Dukes of Hazzard world that I qualify as Holy Grails. I've even made claims the these other items are the holiest of Holy Grails. These items include the tennis shoes and pencil cup. But this item, my friends, is the rarest, hardest to find commercially produced Dukes of Hazzard item out there. I have had many discussions with fellow collectors over the existence of this item. First there was a debate over if it ever existed. Then the debate turned to a discussion of whether any remained. All of the debate can be laid to rest. I have now added a Dukes of Hazzard Children's Swimming Pool to my collection!
The reason for the question of whether any survived the early 80's is because it's huge and incredibly flimsy. This thing could brake at any moment. It would be especially susceptible to breakage if, say, you were to fill it up with water and let some toddlers splash around in it. I bet 90% of these things were in the trash after about three outings. This is a product that certainly was not made to last. How this one survived is nearly a mystery. It came from a farm in mid-Iowa. The former owner, Nate, said it was in the barn, forgotten since the Golden Era of the Dukes. Barn finds aren't just for collector cars. It took quite the effort to get this prized item here. Nate really helped out.
Nate constructed a very sturdy crate to ensure safe travel for the relic. The size and weight made it nearly financially impossible to ship using a standard carrier like the post office or UPS. With some help from my pal Mark, I was able to track down a local shipper that was very helpful and brought this behemoth to me without breaking the bank.
I needed a little more than the standard box cutter to open this package.
This was my first glimpse of my new collection centerpiece.
Remember that moment when they opened the Lost Ark in Indiana Jones? It was kinda like that, but without all the flying ghosts and with a little less face melting. I swear I heard the same dramatic music though.
I feel like a big game fisherman with his prized catch. All I need is to clean it up a little.
Once wiped down, the pool really shines. The printing is only on the inside. The outside is a solid yellow.
The pool was made by Coleco. Coleco also made a number of other Dukes items from the plastic pedal car to the video game for their ColecoVision system. Ride-on toys, pools, and video games: that is a broad range of toys. Colceo was everywhere. Their logo is in the middle of the pool.
There are five repeated designs throughout the printed surface of the pool. The main color used was blue and their is slight shading with some brown. My first thought was that it was faded, but upon proper inspection, they didn't use orange or any other color. The pool is not faded at all, which is surprising for its age. That makes me very happy. None of these designs are unique to the pool; they have all been used on other products. The first is a logo shot with our three favorite cousins. They made a minor faux pas by giving Bo a blue shirt and Luke a yellow one. At least they have their hair color correct, which some items don't. For a swimming pool, the likeness is really good.
The next design is of the General evading Rosco by "skiing" which means driving on two side wheels. They performed this stunt a few times on the show, but not as many as you would assume by looking at the number of products that use this image. This image was the main one used on the Dukes of Hazzard bed set and curtains.
Next we see another logo shot with the name written in the familiar font. The Gen'ral is jumping over the words. This is also a very commonly used image. It was used on T-Shirts, stickers, trading cards, and other items. There are stars all over the pool.
Next up is a General Lee text image. For a product from the 80s where the fine details of the car like the text were often ignored, this is surprisingly accurate. Good job Coleco.
The final shot is the General Lee doing what it does best, flying. Again, we've seem this illustration before; it's a classic. I always loved the way the dirt is flinging off the wheels. This is a great picture of the General. They chose some good ones to decorate the pool.
The pool was most likely mass produced and then certain ones were sent to be "Duked Out." I bet they had other popular licenses like Barbie and Cabbage Patch Kids. The pool has a molded design that includes several outlines of fish in it. I bet there are other Coleco pools out there molded the same, but decorated differently. Or at least there were at one time. When I first saw these designs, I was looking at it sideways and thought it could have been a Barbie design. I thought it was an outline of her head, but Jeff pointed out it was a fish. Can't get much by Ol' Jeff. It sure is a happy fish.
Here is another fish that happens to have a star around its eye. Kinda looks like Jem, or Longshot. Those are some deep 80s references there.
There are two different fish designs in the pool. This smaller one isn't as happy as the big guy.
The smaller fish travel in schools.
The pool measures just over a foot off the ground.
And just under 5 feet across. It sure is big, and flimsy. It is difficult to move around. I have no idea how I am going to display it. But when I do get everything out and displayed the way I envision it, this will be a centerpiece. Maybe I can hang it from the ceiling or something. Seems like that's the only thing I could do.
Now you may be asking, "Larry, did they make any other swimming themed Dukes of Hazzard items way back in the Golden Era?" to which I would answer "Why yes, DukesCollector Reader, they did make other Dukes items that provided poolside summer fun." I'm sure that's exactly how the conversation would go.
Though not made by the same company, there were two Dukes of Hazzard beach towels released back then. Some people think there were three, but I declared long ago that third towel that is printed horizontally is a bath towel and belongs in the bath set. The first beach towel features Daisy in white Daisy Dukes above the General Lee. It has great artwork on it.
The second shows Bo and Luke with similar font and a different shot of the Gen'rel. Boys and girls sure were cool carrying these around the beaches in the early 80s, or around their Dukes kiddie pool.
The final item in the Dukes of Hazzard swimming collection is the incredibly rare (though not as rare as the pool) Dukes swimming trunks. My trunks came from fellow Dukes aficionado Rush. These trunks are definitely high on the grail list. (I should probably write a blog post just about Holy Grail items)
Together again for the first time. I love completing min-collections. This is all four Dukes of Hazzard swimming items. They look great together. I am so excited to add the pool to the collection. I wasn't sure I'd ever find one. Thanks to our new pal Nate in Iowa, the pool has a new home. Mark and Jeff also helped getting the behemoth here, thanks guys. I love my new Dukes of Hazzard Swimming Pool!

Halloween 2014: A Surprise Hit: Mrs. Doubtfire
Admittedly I didn't put as much into this year's Halloween costume as I normally do, and didn't think it would get the response it did. I was wrong.
I was a little busy this month preparing for my meeting with Hulk Hogan, and busy afterward working on the proposed project. I didn't even decide on a costume until after the middle of October, where I'm usually working on it before the month begins.
I like to do costumes that are very recognizable. I go with icons such as the Joker Nurse, Captain Jack Sparrow, Macho Man Randy Savage, David Hasselhoff, and of course, the Hulkster. Last year I added to that list with the Terminator. I was worried that I wasn't going to think of something on the level of past costumes. When I decided to go with Mrs. Doubtfire, I still wasn't sure it was up there with the others...until I went out last night. It sure was a hit.
The costume give-away is the burnt chest from the cooking scene in the movie. It is that detail that differentiates my Mrs. Doubtfire from "Larry as an old lady." I picked up the shirt, sweater, and skirt from Goodwill for eight bucks.
The wig was the most expensive part of the costume. Considering how expensive the prosthetic light-up face was last year for the Terminator, this costume was a bargain. I happen to find some old pot lids that were the perfect props for the costume. It seems I made this face all night. The final addition was the famous "Heellllooooo" that I practiced leading up to Halloween. I also threw in a couple "Help Is On The WAAYYYY!!"s from time to time. That was the extent of my Robin Williams quotes.
Chad and his buddies loved my costume. When I got down to see them, I was feeling like this may be pretty good. Chad never disappoints. This year he pulled off a great Richard Simmons.
Some other friends were Catwoman and Wilford.
Rob throws a great Halloween party each year, and he loves this Wilford costume.
Once people started rolling in to the bar, they all liked my Mrs. Doubtfire. Humpty Hump did a good job. He was the first person I didn't know who said how much he liked the costume. Thanks Shock G.
I did't take a huge number of pictures, but there were some fun costumes out. Here is Arthur from the PBS series.
Man, I have a lot of taco pictures on this blog.
Some friends dressed as Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber, and they nailed it.
They understand that props make the costume. They brought along their Samsonite (not Swanson!)
Inside, it was full of IOUs that included "beer" and "bar cover" ...very nice touches.
I did some wandering outside on the Southside of Pittsburgh. It made me so happy how many people loved my costume. I took so many pictures with people, I wish I would have had my camera out each time. I'll probably show up on a few people's feeds. Here I am with a Price is Right contestant. He bid one dollar.
There was no contest at the bar where we celebrated, but if there was, I bet I would have had a good shot at it. I was leery of the response I might get from the costume, but I was wrong. Mrs Doubtfire was a hit. Oddly enough, this is the third costume I've worn when the actor passed away earlier that year. I did it before with Heath Ledger's Joker, and Macho Man Randy Savage. It's my way of honoring their impact to pop culture. Thanks Robin Williams, you are missed.
One costume I was really hoping I would see was Twisty from the current season of American Horror Story: Freak Show. I've really been enjoying AHS and this clown is probably the scariest clown I've ever seen. This Halloweener did a great job as there is no official costume available (though I'm sure there will be next year). My only critique is that he could have been dirtier.
He played the part great too, He wasn't there to party, he just walked around, freaking people out. He didn't talk and just bowed and performed for people. He did a great job. You scared a lot of people Twisty, mission accomplished.
As always, Natalie, Katie, and my mom really helped out with my costume. Thanks guys! Happy Halloween!
Yep, at Rob's party, they lit me on fire!

Home For Christmas by John Schneider and Tom Wopat: The Kickstarter Backed Album
As promised, the new Christmas album from John and Tom was delivered to my door yesterday. Many Kickstarter projects fail to meet their release date, but Bo and Luke got theirs out right on time.
Being a project backer, I received an autographed copy.
Inside has a lot of great information about the creation process and some fun behind the scenes pictures. I won't spoil it all, you have to get your own copy.
Tom's daughter Lindsey designed the package. I said before how much I love the front cover art. It adds just enough Dukes to the album. The addition of Bo and Luke colored Christmas stockings is so cool. The back has a Christmas Tree with the track listings on it. Lindsey did a great job on this.
Some of the rewards I received are this autographed photo of Tom and John in Time Square...
And this Christmas ornament. With the new Hallmark General Lee ornament and this one, my tree will be extra Duked out this year. You can purchase your own copy of the CD or download on Tom's website. I'm even more excited for the December New York concert now. This is going to be such a very Merry Dukes Christmas!
