Alec Baldwin dresses as American Airlines pilot
In the midst of a rather bizarre edition of “Saturday Night Live” this week, Alec Baldwin managed to steal the show during this weekend edition of “Weekend Update” — playing what was effectively himself impersonating an American Airlines pilot.The point of this sketch was obvious — for Alec to pretend as if he was getting an apology for the airline for supposedly acting rude to him for playing a cell phone game while he was waiting for the plane to take off on board the cabin. (The airlines, meanwhile, has said that they made the decision to remove Alec based on him slamming the door of the restroom and being “rude” to the flight crew.)
Regardless of which side you are on, you will have to agree that this is one of the funniest bit of self-indulgence we have seen.What do you think about this video?But that also creates a dangerous situation for Romney, according to University of Iowa associate professor of political science Tim Hagle. By shooting at Gingrich with too big a gun, he said, Romney could appear desperate.”If all of the sudden Romney breaks out of his persona �� being the smooth candidate, the person who is the steady hand that doesn’t get excitable �� if all the sudden he goes out on the attack, he could suffer,” he said. “They are worried that if he goes after Gingrich that it will come out forced.”
Hagle said that former GOP candidate Tim Pawlenty suffered that fate, for example, when he attacked Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, which may have cost him the Ames Straw Poll. That’s why Hagle stresses, like Mahaffey, that Romney’s attacks have to be subtle.Mahaffey said Gingrich’s defense to this embarrassing scenario might mean he’ll make an appearance as a more friendly, cordial Gingrich: Newt-light.
“I think he is going to try to act like he is a true front-runner,” he said. “He is going to shake his head and frown and say we generally agree more than we disagree �� all these people on the stage are better than Barack Obama. He plays the affable uncle.”Now that Romney is no longer the favorite, he could get help attacking Gingrich.Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Bachmann and Rick Santorum can gain only if they perform well, Hagle said, and they’ll likely receive drastically less speaking time than the two front-runners. Gingrich may have one bright spot in his battle to win over female voters. After the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire holds the nation’s first GOP primary. There, only 41 percent of 2008 voters were female. But soon comes Florida. And women there make up half the GOP primary voters.

I would have to divide up the house and rent out this part

I would have to divide up the house and rent out this part Carmen Guzman told me in the living room of her home not far from Disneyland.

Guzman a year employee who has worked as a housekeeper and hostess was treated for uterine cancer several years ago Now she needs regular monitoring and cant risk skimping on healthcare coverage. Nor can she and her husband a landscaper afford to pay hundreds of dollars more each month for a medical plan She and other employees fear Disney will reduce their hours and make them ineligible for coverage, though Brown flatly denied that such a plan was in the works.

I left my life and my youth in the hotel Guzman said telling me that employees are trained to smile and make the magic happen for hotel clientsno matter how dirty they leave the room

Tom Bray a bellman at the Disneyland Hotel for years makes an hour plus tip which can be unreliable. His wife was recently laid off from her job as a schoolteacher he said and they would be hammered if his union healthcare plan starts costing him a month which is what he projects. If he switches to the company plan he said comparable coverage would cost even more.You try to give customers that magical experience Bray said but Disney doesnt want to share the profits with you.

By Local math when Walt Disney ran the company in he made times as much as one of his hotel housekeepers. Bob Iger the current chief executive makes times as much as a housekeeper.

Search for original flooring brings restoration of Texas Governor’s Mansion nearer completion

Restoration experts working on the Texas Governor’s Mansion have turned to a couple of Austin homes built by the same 1850s contractor to find something close to the original pine floors that burned in a fire at the historic home three years ago.Dealey Herndon, project manager for the State Preservation Board, said no one’s sure what the original floors looked like before they were sanded and refinished. The mansion officially opened in 1856.”There are no photos,” Herndon told the Austin American Statesman. “We know the subfloor (a second floor beneath the top layer) is original. The house may not have had anything other than the subfloor originally. We just don’t know.”

What’s certain is the floors were made of Bastrop pine. And, according to a letter then-Gov. Elisha Pease wrote to his wife, were covered by oilcloth.Herndon says flooring examined at two other homes from the same period built by Abner Cook had random-width boards. So that’s what’s going in at the governor’s house, the oldest executive mansion still in use west of the Mississippi. The boards then will be covered with historic carpets.The $26 million project is expected to be completed next summer, four years after the home was the target of a still unknown arsonist.

The outside work is expected to be done within a week. Already, scaffolding has been coming down from the six towering white columns on the front porch. Decorations atop the columns sustained heavy damage from flames.Herndon said the work has uncovered some hidden gems, including a basement pocket that held an empty champagne bottle from the early 1900s and tiny closets that had been hidden by bookcases in upstairs bedrooms. She believes the closets may have been the work of Sam Houston, who was governor just before the Civil War.”They were very shallow, just big enough for some hooks to hang clothes on,” she said. “As a mother, if I had eight kids and four bedrooms like the Houstons did, I’d want someplace for them to hang their clothes.”

Generation Ick

I was just dutifully reading about Catholic bishops and their argument that religious exemptions need to be attached to gay rights laws when my concentration lapsed and I caught a glimpse of a headline reading:Vodka soaked tampons are everywhere Im ashamed to say that I immediately stopped reading about the bishops and clicked onto the revelatory link. Theyre everywhere Who knew Kids these days

Apparently a super tampon can soak up a whole shot of vodka which one can then enjoy if thats the right word for it without risking the scent of alcohol on ones breath Theres a guys version of this unusual delivery system called butt chugging Hmmmm. The news story indicated that urban legend researchers have been checking to see if this is a real phenomenon and the results are inconclusive But a CBS report out of Arizona which said it had jaws dropping throughout our newsroom quoted some school and medical officials confirming the trend.

The danger is that you can overdose on alcohol without knowing it in this fashion but come on, youd have to have a dozen tampons right So surely youd know that you might get caught. And teenagers are wily if I recall my own high school days.Everything kids do is possibly dangerous which is why these early years comprise a crucible of teaching moments which we look back on with a mixture of fondness and astonishment at our own idiocy. Why should this generation be any different

It may not have occurred to us to soak tampons in alcohol but we did take fistfuls of caffeine pills for a speedy thrill and I remember when Nanette Navarre sprained her arm and wound up with a prescription for some mega painkillers that we all shared. Then there was the time my friends and I went through my parents medicine cabinet and just tried a few items at random to see what happened. For your information gout remedies and estrogen supplements have no effect in small quantities Hell it was worth a try.

Mainly we just drank and smoked stuff and chewed pine needles to disguise our breath. Old fashioned, perhaps. More fun than butt chugging for sure.

The Beauty of Celtic Jewelry

Celtic jewelry is something that’s been circulating around the world for a very long time, and remains as popular as ever. The symbols that have their origin in the British Isles and nearby regions have come down to us over the ages and have retained their appeal. You can now find Celtic style jewelry everywhere, whether you shop in jewelry stores, department stores or online. Celtic jewelry has such a wide appeal that it’s worth investigating some of its characteristics.

Celtic jewelry has been round for many centuries, so by wearing it you’re getting into the very old tradition. The Celts started to create jewelry out of precious metals in the beginning of the Christian era, and you can see some examples of their work in museums. A number of Celtic designs were memorialized by Irish monks in famous books, like the Book of Kells which has a home in the Trinity College, Ireland. Celtic jewelry that you can buy nowadays for a cheap price have designs, like Celtic knotwork and spirals, that were used many years ago. There are people who just like the designs because of how they look, and others like the history of these designs.

Celtic jewelry can be quite lovely without any stones, but a stone can also add to the beauty of a piece. As you might guess, one of the most popular stones for Irish jewelry is the emerald. In higher end Celtic jewelry, whether necklaces, rings or brooches, you’ll often find emeralds. If emeralds are not affordable, you also have other, more economical choices for green stones, such as green tourmaline, which is a lovely stone in its own right. Celtic jewelry can also be exquisite using stones of any color, so you don’t necessarily have to choose a green one.

Both silver and Celtic jewelry are quite popular today, and these two go naturally together. While you can find Celtic jewelry in gold, titanium and other metals, silver has long been the traditional choice. As you can tell by looking at what celebrities are wearing today, silver has become very trendy. While a few decades ago, the main benefit of silver was thought to be its affordability, it’s now appreciated for its own virtues. There’s an elegance and sheen to silver that’s uniquely its own. A Celtic design such as a spiral, knot or cross can make for an exquisite piece of silver jewelry. Celtic jewelry, then, is often favored by people who also love silver. No matter what you are wearing, Celtic jewelry can usually improve your appearance yet save you money at the same time. The affordability of Celtic jewelry makes it very popular with most people, although it does come in higher prices. It is our hope that this brief summary of Celtic jewelry will interest you enough to find out more about it.

Project Plus-Size
When Jennette Fulda shops for a dress, she doesn’t think only about the color and style. She thinks about how long it will fit her.She lost 200 pounds between 2005 and 2008, dropping from a size 32 to 12. Then she gained enough to buy clothes in size 18 and 20. When her weight is changing, she doesn’t want to “sink 100 bucks into one item,” says the 30-year-old Web designer and author from Chapel Hill, N.C. The fashion industry is trying new tricks to win over shoppers like Ms. Fulda and address a perplexing gap: Although at least one-third of American women are plus-size, sales of plus-size clothing hover around 15% of women’s apparel sales.
To address women’s weight fluctuations and other challenges unique to the plus-size shopper, apparel makers are putting a new focus on fit. They are throwing out their old clothing patterns, turning to new slimming and smoothing technology and taking a new look at the psychology of their customers.
Lane Bryant, one of the largest sellers of plus-size clothing in the U.S., with about 900 stores, is working on bras that adapt to a body whose weight changes sharply, says a spokeswoman. “Our customer fluctuates in size. How do we help her there?” says Gill Heer, senior designer and director of intimate apparel for Lane Bryant.
Avenue, a plus-size retailer with 450 stores in the U.S., reworked the fit of all its clothes over the past two years to make sizing more consistent; shoppers don’t want to have to try on several sizes each time they consider a new style of pants. Avenue, which is owned by French conglomerate PPR, also researched the way body shape differs in larger sizes, leading to changes in clothing patterns that made the hip and bust fuller. It introduced a new denim line earlier this month based on the work.One reason for the sales gap in plus-size clothing is demographic. In the U.S., an overweight woman is more likely to be poor, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
Another factor: While most retailers consider anything over 14 a plus size, garment sizing can be deceptive, because women’s clothing brands are constantly adjusting the sizes. A size 0 today would have been a size 8 in 1970, so more plus-sized women are wearing smaller-size clothes, says Ed Gribbin, president of Alvanon Inc., a clothing size and fit-consulting firm based in New York City. The average size-14 woman today has a bust of 44 inches, a waist of 38? inches and hips of 46 inches, he says.

Knife attack at daycare center injures 8 toddlers

TODDLER Gao Tiantian hid herself behind the stuffed toy she had held onto throughout her surgery as she lay in her hospital bed, moaning from the pain of a deep knife wound to her right cheek.

“It’s her. Ms Lu,” she said. “She came with a sharp thing in her hands, and she cut me in the face.”

The four-year-old was one of eight toddlers, all aged four or five, who were injured when a female worker at a privately owned daycare center in suburban Shanghai attacked them with a craft knife at lunchtime yesterday.

The 39-year-old woman, whose name has not been released by police, was said to have aimed at the necks of the toddlers when she attacked them. All the toddlers were cut on the face or neck.

The motive for the attacks was unclear.

A four-year-old boy surnamed You was still in a coma in the intensive care unit after he suffered an 8-centimeter-deep cut to his neck, causing heavy bleeding, said doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University.

“How can she do that to my boy? She tried to kill them all by cutting their necks. I’m still waiting for my boy to wake up and tell me who did that to him,” said You’s father, migrant worker You Qinghai.

The other toddlers were all in a stable condition after surgery yesterday afternoon, doctors said.

All eight toddlers, five boys and three girls, arrived at the hospital at about 1pm yesterday from the Xiaofuxing Daycare Center, doctors said.

A huge crowd gathered around the daycare center which had been cordoned off by police.

Many were parents of toddlers at the center.

“I came to pick up my boy after the center teachers texted me that something tragic was happening to the toddlers,” said Li Xingfa, 38.

Li said his six-year-old son, Li Zhibang, saw blood all over the ground at lunchtime when he looked out the window after teachers had locked his son and other children inside their classrooms.

“Teachers warned us there were robbers outside so we cannot go outside,” the boy said. “Many girls cried hard but I didn’t.”

Some parents said the woman who attacked the children was a cleaner at the center and a handicapped person who had only one arm.

“There were only eight employees in the facility and they all looked quite nice when we met them,” said Li. “None of them wore the appearance of a mad murderer.”

Like many of the parents, Li is a migrant worker struggling to make a life for his family in the big city.

The center, mainly for migrant workers’ children, charges 300 yuan (US$47) a month, much lower than other kindergartens in the area.

It has about 170 children and is a licensed daycare center approved by the local education bureau.
