President Bush asks for a two-year moment of silence for Katrina victims.

President Bush in New Orleans today asked for a two-year moment
of silence out of respect for those who lost there lives in the wake of
the levee breaks and flood after Hurricane Katrina.

“It important for all Americans to be silent for those victims, for as long
as we can, to show our support for those who have and are continuing to
suffer through this tragedy.” Bush said.

Mayor Nagel, who was next to Bush thanked the President for not rushing in to respond.
“A thoughtful planned approach is the best way to approach the problem” Nagel
said.

Protesters were dumbfounded at both the Mayor & President’s comment. Local
performer Harry Connick Jr. said “are the high on the fumes or just plain stupid”

Meanwhile after two years, many parts of New Orleans are contaminated and unlivable.
Connick said “the only difference between Bagdad and New Orleans is that Bagdad is
getting US Billions to rebuild and all New Orleans gets are photo ops”

1. Reheat Pizza: Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on
top of the stove , set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This
keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking
channel and it really works.

2. Easy Deviled Eggs: Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal,
mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients,
reseal , keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly , cut the tip of
the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when
done. Easy clean up.

3. Expanding Frosting: When you buy a container of cake frosting
from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes.
You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with
the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

4. Reheating refrigerated bread : To warm biscuits, pancakes, or
muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup
of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and
help it reheat faster.

5. Newspaper weeds away: Start putting in your plants, work the
nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers put layers around the
plants overlapping as you go. Cover with mulch and forget about weeds.
Weeds will get through some gardening plastic, they will not get
through wet newspapers.

6. Broken Glass clean up: Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up small shards of glass you can't see easily.

7. No More Mosquitoes: Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will
keep the mosquitoes away.

8. Squirrel Away!: To keep squirrels from eating your plants,
sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper
doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

9. Flexible vacuum nozzle: To get something out of a heat register
or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty
gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in
narrow openings.

10. Reducing Static Cling: Pin a small safety pin to the seam of
your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same
thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place
pin in seam of slacks and -- ta da! -- static is gone.

11. Measuring Cups clean up : Before you pour sticky substances
into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot
water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut
butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

12. Hate foggy windshields?: Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it
in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the
eraser! Works better than a cloth!

13. Reopening envelope: If you seal an envelope and then
realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your
sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals
easily.

14.Hair Conditioner: Use your hair conditioner to shave your
legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs
really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you
bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...

15. Goodbye Fruit Flies: To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a
small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops
of dish washing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to
the cup and gone forever!

16. Get Rid of Ants: Put small piles of cornmeal where you
see ants. They eat it, take it "home", can't digest it so it
kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it
works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being
harmed!

17. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS : The heating unit went out on
my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us
told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the
dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something. He took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.
WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go
through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that
mesh. That's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film,
but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your
clothes soft and static free - that nice fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box. Well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This

A gang member who didn’t what their name used said “It’s unconceivable that the Chinese are selling guns that have lead paint. Don’t they have any idea how many innocent people can be hurt by their irresponsible actions.”

Swung Hung Lowe, spokesman for the Show Chin Corp said the company is doing everything possible to make sure their guns are safe for people to use. “We want to assure our US firearm customers that owing and using are guns are as safe as riding a bike.”

The US government is also looking in allegations the the company’s other product such
as hand grenades and rocket launchers sold to communist rebel groups throughout the world may have similar lead paint issues.
