I'll give it a shot!
1. Tuesday and Wednesday? Tyr missing one hand and Odin/Woden missing an eye.
2. Janus for January being a conjoined twin, possibly? Or August for Augustus, who was deified and had various impairments by the end of his life.
3. I'd go with a guess for Odin or another Norse God like Tyr again (Or their Anglo-Saxon equivalents).
4. Smiths! Examples being Hephaestus/Vulcan from Greco-Roman myths, Wayland from the Germanic tradition, Ptah from Egypt and Kothar-Wa-Katis from Ugarit.

I am mostly familiar with Woden/Odin, being born on a Wednesday and being monocular to boot.

Subject: Disabled Entertainers on Reality Shows
Dear Colleagues. I have watched X factor and noted that a number of disabled entertainers have performed. Some like Susan Boyle are now international stars. However, the way disabled persons are portrayed can be decidedly problematic! This is not my area of expertise but I thought perhaps folks researching media issues might be interested in pursuing this further. Please see links belowfor examples of the phenomena I describe.
