Casino Boots Ronstadt for Praising Moore

By ADAM GOLDMAN
LAS VEGAS (AP) -
Singer Linda Ronstadt not only got booed, she got the boot after praising filmmaker Michael Moore and his new movie ``Fahrenheit 9/11'' during a performance.

"It was a very ugly scene,'' Aladdin President Bill Timmins told The Associated Press. ``She praised him and all of a sudden all bedlam broke loose.''
Timmins, who is British and was watching the show, said he didn't allow Ronstadt back in her luxury suite afterward and she was escorted off the property.

Ronstadt's antics "spoiled a wonderful evening for our guests and we had to do something about it,'' Timmins said.

  
 
Protect Your Child in the Kitchen
From your child’s perspective, the kitchen is a fun place to explore, somewhere where cookies appear like magic, and there are lots of things to smell, taste and touch. But a kitchen can be a very dangerous place for a child. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says that 2.5 million children are injured or killed from accidents in the home each year.
Child Magazine offers some safety tips to keep your little one safe.

-Never hold a child while you are cooking
-Store a fire extinguisher out of kid’s reach, but easily accessible to adults.
-Use back burners of the stove when possible and turn pot and pan handles towards the rear of the stove.
-Post all emergency phone numbers near the phone.
-Move all cleaning products, knives, and plastic bags out of a child’s reach.
-For children under 5, make sure kitchen cabinets and drawers have safety latches. Also consider getting an Oven Lock and a Refrigerator Latch.
-Move refrigerator magnets up above a child’s reach.
-Put other small choking hazards (like toothpicks, rubber bands) and all glassware in sealed cabinets.
-Seal off electrical outlets with safety plugs and unplug and tie up appliance cords when not in use.

Hidden Treasures In Everyday Moments:

Beginner's Mind Philosophy
Imagine the joy of rediscovering chocolate every time you eat it.Seeing the ocean for the first time, hearing a new song, or discovering the taste of a new food: each of these is an adventure. People usually approach a brand-new activity without excessive pre-judgment, thus allowing themselves a full experience. The strategy behind Beginner's Mind Philosophy, known in Japanese as Shoshin, is to bring that sense of eager anticipation to all of life's experiences, whether they are new or well known.
