		<description><![CDATA[A nanomaterial created by MIT researchers acts like the main ingredient in soaps, shampoos and detergents. In addition to improving existing cleaning products, these nanostructures may have other chemical engineering uses for materials where traditional surfactants are used.

That&#8217;s also true for products that are being shipped in.

It&#8217;s because Igor starts school next week.  Were he going into the local school district, he&#8217;d be starting kindergarten.

Not only did my blog blow up, but one of my potties did too, so there&#8217;s been much running around trying to fix it, then rip up the carpets, level and float the floor, find tile, and soon&#8230;lay tile.

Working with small batches is often trickier than doing the huge batches I often do.  But doing small batches lets you get all kinds of creative. Best of all, if you make a mistake, you&#8217;re not tossing out hundreds of dollars in materials.
