My assignment is to find chemical additives in normal household products and to determine the structual and functional nature of each chemical and why the compund might be added to the product. These are the products I picked....
Toaster Pastries...Sodium Bicarbonate
Spaghettioes...Ferrous Sulfate
Marshmallows...Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
Tylenol...Acetaminophen
Pain Relever...Naproxen
Lotion...Stearic Acid
Foundation...Iron Oxide
Hand Soap...Sodium Chloride
Stain and Odor Remover...Isoprophyl
Glass Cleaner...Ammonia
Raid...Tetramethrin

I think I did it wrong. For example, for Na4P2O7 (marshmallow) , i wrote that its used as a bufferinf agent, an emulsifier, and a thickening agent and is often used as a food additive. I think that I am supposed to say exactly what reacts with what or bonds with what to do this etc. Do you have any idea how to answer for any of the compounds i listed? I dont! PLease help!

A man and his wife were spending the day at the zoo. She was wearing a sexy, loose fitting pink dress.

As they walked through the primates exhibit, they passed in front of a large silverback gorilla. Noticing the wife, the gorilla went crazy. He jumped on the bars, and holding on with one hand and two feet he grunted and pounded his chest with his free hand. He was obviously excited at the pretty lady in the pink dress.

The husband, noticing the excitement, thought this was pretty funny. He suggested that his wife tease the poor fellow some more by puckering her lips and wiggling her bottom. She played along and the gorilla got even more excited, making noises that would wake the dead.

Then the husband suggested that she let one of her straps fall to show a little more skin. With his encouragement, she did -- and it looked like the gorilla was about to tear the bars down.

"Now," he said, "show your thighs and sort of fan your dress at him," he said. She was enjoying the attention and did it. This drove the gorilla absolutely crazy, and he started doing flips.

Then the husband grabbed his wife, ripped open the door to the cage, flung her in with the gorilla and slammed the cage door shut.

"Now," he told her, "tell him you have a headache!"

This article shows it perfectly.

Edwards wants government run health insurance. Now, he wants grown adults to be forced to go to the doctor. Whatever happened to free choice. Why do liberals think we are too stupid to take care of ourselves?

i wonder if politicians, period. have more lust for money and profit than they do about improving the condition of the planet they live? they would go to war and dig trough miles of earth and contaminate the local fresh water to get to oil.

SEX!








Ha you thought about it right? Just like saying don't think about a pink elephant? Well guess what? Sex = Lust. It says in the Bible that thinking about Lust is the same as doing it.

Guess what? You just sinned and are worthy hellfire =D In fact since every sin is the same, you have the same amount of Sin as Hitler right now.

So do I get satan points for causing people to sin or what?
Have a nice day =D

For someone to cut their wrists, do you think it takes:
a) the guts to be able to intentionally hurt themselves

I got a pet turtle that loves minno's. I always check them to make sure they are safe and sterilize them from bactiria and salmanella. I want a variety of minno's and baby fish becuse the person i work for is in need of a few for her pond. She curently has 0 fish in it and it is spring fed. give me a few idias of common houshold items that would work, the person with the most realistic and feasable idias gets the points for this one, if there is a tie i will leave it up to voters.

why you support job outsourcing

why you are against universal health care

why you claim to support soldiers, but deny them funding for necessary medical care

why you support giving tax breaks to the rich (and please don't give me the 'trickle down' cr*p; there are better ways to create jobs/lower loan interest rates)

why you claim to have "good Christian values" but support war in iraq and help the rich get richer

why you based a war of intuition ("iraq has WMD's")

why bush claimed to be concerned about global warming before the 2000 election, but after the election claimed the evidence wasn't conclusive, and all of a sudden had some sort of an epiphany and decided to do nothing about the problem

why you scream about protecting the second amendment, but have no problem with NSA wiretapping infringing on the first

why ivy league alumni are reputably liberal (please don't give me the "i have a third eye of truth" or "they are stupid" argument)

Hi Guys,

My family and I were in Virginia Beach, VA yesterday and were invited to a time share seminar by Ocean Front, Gold Key Resorts. Anyway, we gave in when they worked down a cheaper price and never told us anything about a loan. When wrapping the process up we completed lots of papers at rapid speed, the representative basically telling us what he thought we should know about each form, anyway one of the forms was a loan application which i noticed and outright asked if they were going to take a loan out on us which he firmly assured me they were not and they were only for filing purposed, naive of us i know but we trusted him. Now i get home and read that there is a semi hi interest rate attached so THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A LOAN DONE. Some of the paperwork we initialed made us sign off, without realizing it, that we understood everything when we signed. It was done yesterday, how many days to GET OUT AND HOW???????? HELP!!!!

i was telling my mom how my prenatal class said contractions will take 7-8 hours usually before they reach 5 minutes apart, so to spend most of time at home relaxing/resting/timing. my mom said that each time she went into labor (had 3 kids) they were pretty much already about 5 minutes apart to begin with and had to go in right away. is anyone "right" or does it depend on each individual? what should i expect? i'm also worried i will deny i am in labor because i am too embarassed to be false, like i am "bothering" people/hospital.

I have Symantec Norton Corporation installed on my notebook. I've been wondering to add AVG Free Antivirus 7.5 to my notebook. Is that alright? Since adding Mcaffe (or something like that, I forget the brand) will crash if you have Norton installed in your computer.

And what is the best combination to add along with Symantec Norton? A free one is more prefferable. BTW, my notebook spec is Toshiba Sattelite M-45, Centrino, Windows XP, RAM 512.

Here's a few questions I have for my 400D camera

1) On my Digital Rebel some of my shots in M mode are still way way bright. I try setting the ISO? by the spin dial all the way but it stops at 4000. How can I get nice shots of people/objects in direct sunlight?

2) With my Digital Rebel I have the Canon 75-300MM. I get maybe 5 in 100 shots that are CRYSTAL CLEAR for one reason or another (people subjects). I used to do all AF but now I'm trying to do all MF with the M feature for light and it hasn't improved any. I have noticed only my very close shots from people about 10-15 feet away will come in PERFECT. When I use say 200mm-300mm the shots are still nice but not as nice. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this expected?

3) Lens filters.. I don't have much money and some ARE much more expensive than others. Are there differences? I want to REALLY highlight blue skies above all else.

Any help would be appreciated.
