Hey there, friends! My friend Tiff from Banglewood Crafts is here to share a tutorial of her own with you! Don't forget to stop by and enter the giveaway for $25 credit to her shop!!
I am delighted to guest post for Amy here at One Artsy Mama! My name is Tiff and I run an unfinished wood jewelry supply store on etsy and on my online store. My customers constantly inspire me. They do everything from painting to wood burning, to decoupage and fabric wrapping the wood bangles, rings and earrings. The creative ideas and projects are endless. I decided to stain and color block two wood bangles. I absolutely love the natural beauty of a nice stain with the sparkle of color on any surface but especially a bangle.
Supplies Needed:
Blue Acrylic Paint
MINWAX Wood Finish Stain Marker (230 Early American)
Blue Paint Tape, Shipping Labels or anything with a Sticky Backing (for cutting the triangles)
Mod Podge, Polyurethane, or Resin Spray (sealant)
Wax paper
Step 1: Prepare Your Working Space
Organize all of your supplies. I like to work with wax paper because the bangles will not stick to the paper after being painted. Therefore, place a sheet of wax paper under your working area because it can get messy.
Step 2: Stain the Entire Wood Bangle
Grab both your wood bangles and your wood stain marker and stain the entire bangle. I suggest doing this outside. You do not want to inhale the stain fumes. After staining the bangle let it dry for about an hour.
Step 3: Cut Out Your Triangles
Grab the shipping label. Peel the sheet apart and cut small triangles in the shipping label. Make sure the triangle shapes will fit on the bangle. This is where the detailed color blocking will take place.
Step 4: Paste the Triangle Cut Out Shapes on Half of the Bangle (Bangle #1)Paste the cut out triangle shapes on the outside of the bangle. Paste them in one direction on half of the bangle. Then, paint over all of the triangles. I only pasted triangles on half of the bangle but this is completely up to you and your style. You want to stroke the paint in the same direction to prevent the paint from bubbling up. Once you have covered that portion of the bangle let it dry for about 30 minutes.
Repeat Step 4: Add two coats of paint for a more polished rich look.
Step 5: Color Blocking Bangle #2Grab your blue paint tape and add two strips on the second bangle sectioning off half of each side. Then, grab your paint and paint half of the outside portion of the bangle. Leave the other half with just the stain creating contrast. Let it dry for about 30 minutes. Then, repeat this step to ensure a rich look.
Step 6: Sealing the BanglesOnce you have allowed the paint to dry you want to seal the bangles with mod podge , polyurethane or resin spray. I used Resin Spray by Castin Craft. I sprayed the inside and outside of the bangles three times. Please do this outside. For the modge podge sealant, you are going to grab your paint brush and cover the inside and outside of the bangle. Let it dry. For the polyurethane sealant, you are going to want to go outside and spray the outside and inside of the bangle and let it dry.
This project can take up to an hour or two if you include drying time! I would be delighted for you all to come visit at Banglewood Crafts and check out our blog for more tutorials, sales and giveaways. Please take a look at items you like because we are teaming up with One Artsy Mama and having a giveaway. You can also follow along on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Keep Crafting!

This fine reagent was mentioned here (disparagingly) in the comments the other day, and I knew that it was time to add it to the list. I've had some other selenium entries before, and they're all here for the same reason: their unsupportable stenches. Everyone, even people who've never had a chemistry class in their lives, knows that sulfur compounds are stinky, of course, but it's a problem that continues as you move down Group XVI of the periodic table.
And it's not like plain phenol itself has no odor. It's strong, penetrating, and completely unmistakable. As soon as I get a whiff of the stuff, I'm immediately transported back to the Verser Clinic, the small hospital in the town I grew up in back in Arkansas. Phenol smells like an old-fashioned medical office; it was used for many years as a disinfectant (and was, in fact, introduced as such by Joseph Lister himself). If you move it down a notch to sulfur, you get thiophenol, which is easy to describe: burning rubber - the pure, potent, platonic ideal of burning rubber, bottled up and daring you to open the cap. I can't say that I won't work with thiophenol, since I have (very much to my regret, at times), but I've used it most reluctantly, and probably haven't touched it in at least fifteen years.
Ah, but move down one more element and you have selenophenol, and that's a more exotic reagent. I've never seen any, and after reading the descriptions, I never want to. Actually, let me take that back: I'd look at some from the other end of the lab. What I never want to do is open any of it up. The chemical literature has numerous examples of people who are at a loss for words when it comes to describing its smell, but their attempts are eloquent all the same. A few years ago, Gaussling at the Lamentations on Chemistry blog referred to it as "The biggest stinker I have run across. . .Imagine 6 skunks wrapped in rubber innertubes and the whole thing is set ablaze. That might approach the metaphysical stench of this material." So we'll start with that.
I believe that this lovely compound is commercially available (if you're anywhere close to anyone making it, you'll know about it). But should you wish to prepare it with your own hands, do violence to your own schnozz, and drape yourself out of your own window while you throw up into your own rhododendrons, feel free to use this reliable preparation from Organic Syntheses, circa 1944. This features the note that "it is frequently advisable to work with [selenium compounds] on alternate days", which I suppose is to give them time to work their way out of your nasal passages.
I'm not so sure. When I was a teaching assistant in grad school, I taught three labs a week one semester, and one of those labs, damn it all, was the phenyl Grignard reagent. We had them making it in diethyl ether, outside of the small and inadequate fume hoods, and the solvent fumes were fit to strip paint. By the end of the Monday lab, I was well saturated with ether and had a terrible headache, which returned as soon as I caught my first whiff of the stuff on Tuesday afternoon. I barely made it through that lab, mostly by holding my breath and using a lot of hand gestures, and I took the opportunity on Wednesday to get as much fresh air as I could. But when I came back for the Thursday session, the first first wave of ether vapor washed over me and nearly stretched me out on the tiles. I taught the entire lab from the hallway, shouting and waving like Monty Python's "Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights". So in my mind, the choice between getting these things over with and stretching them out is still not settled.
That Org Syn prep also notes that it can produce small amounts of hydrogen selenide, which is very toxic indeed (and will give you a sore throat, too, apparently, before it kills you). This luckless graduate student from the 1920s got to experience both of these bracing selenium room fresheners in the course of his work:
Berzelius described the poisonous effect of hydrogen selenide quite impressively; "In order ta get acquainted with the smell of this gas I allowed a bubble not larger than a pea to pass into my nostril ; in consequence of its smell I so completely loss my sense of smell for several hours that I could not distinguish the odor of strong ammonia even when held under my nose. My sense of smell returned after five or six hours, but severe irritation of the mucous membrane set in and persisted for a fortnight' The writer has been working on the gas for some time and was also quite seriously affected once, the injury persisting for many days. That it is more poisonous than the hydrogen sulphide is well known."
So you have that to look forward to on your way to selenophenol. And at your destination? Assuming your nose is still attached to your face, you'll experience what few chemists ever have. I'll let this 1908 report from Wisconsin take over:
When benzeneselenonic acid in solution is treated with reducing agents such as hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, or, best, with zinc and hydrochloric, acid selenophenol is obtained as a yellow oil with an overpowering and most nauseating odor. . .The odor of diphenyl diselenide is extremely disagreeable but is not nearly so bad as that of selenophenol.
. . .The effect of selenophenol on the skin is very similar to that of thiophenol, forming blisters which itch intensely. After a time, these dry up, the skin scales off, and there appears to be a deposit of red selenium beneath it. The odor of selenophenol is very penetrating, and is nauseating beyond description.
Gloves, man, gloves. Unless, of course, you wish to be tattooed with elemental selenium while being nauseated beyond description. Should this be your idea of a fun Saturday night, I will not stand in your way.

Question from a non-chemist:
I read through the preparation you linked, Derek, and saw the mention of n-butylselenol. Given the reactions you chemists seem to have when n-buli and t-buli are involved, I was wondering if the n-butylselenol was anywhere near as horrible.

Has anyone ever made and smelt Tellurophenol? I cannot help but reproduce the exchange Pauling had with Matt Meselson about H2Te:
Linus Pauling: Well, Matt, you know about tellurium, the group VI element below selenium in the periodic chart of the elements?
Matthew Meselson Uh, yes. Sulfur, selenium, tellurium . . .
Linus Pauling: I know that you know how bad hydrogen sulfide smells. Have you ever smelled hydrogen selenide?
Matthew Meselson No, I never have.
Linus Pauling: Well, it smells much worse than hydrogen sulfide.
Matthew Meselson I see.
Linus Pauling: Now, Matt, hydrogen telluride smells as much worse than hydrogen selenide as hydrogen selenide does compared to hydrogen sulfide.
Matthew Meselson Ah.
Linus Pauling: In fact, Matt, some chemists were not careful when working with tellurium compounds, and they acquired a condition known as "tellurium breath." As a result, they have become isolated from society. Some have even committed suicide.
Matthew Meselson Oh.
Linus Pauling: But Matt, I'm sure that you would be careful. Why don't you think it over and let me know if you would like to work on the structure of some tellurium compounds?

Great Fieser's Ghost! I would not describe the effect of selenophenol on the human body as a smell but as a state of mind. It is a hypnotic effluvia which beams its essence straight to the area postrema. It should be packaged as a gold standard, triple-your-money-back, Jenny-Craig-bankrupting weight loss device.
That said, PhSeNa and PhSeCl are such darn good reagents that I put up with a little violent bilious retching now and again.
5. El Selectride on May 15, 2012 9:37 AM writes...
That little bit generated from quenching excess PhSe- never really bothered me. Of course I pulled the flask out of the hood to have a quick waft. Just plain old burning rubber. Nothing special. I'm not sure it's volatile enough to get that full nostril-burning, lab-clearing effect of a true TIWWW, but if you spill some on yourself...

I used to make it in situ from diphenyl diselenide; no problems at all as the sodium salt.
The worst problem was with the diselenide which we had purchased from Aldrich as it contained red selenium which did stink. I dissolved the lot up in DCM, filtered and shipped the red stuff back to Aldrich as I had not ordered it.
They rejected their entire stock and sent it to us. It kept the lab going for quite some time.

Personally, I'll take the smell of PhSeSePh (presumably with a little PhSeH) or PhSeBr over a mercaptan any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Benzyl mercaptan is the worst.
9. John Li on May 15, 2012 10:15 AM writes...
I have been using PhSeBr recently and it doesn't stink at all, although i didn't put my nose in inside the bottle and sniff it...
10. David Formerly Known as a Chemist on May 15, 2012 10:22 AM writes...
I never found selenides to smell as bad as sulfides, just...different. Sulfides have that rotten skunky stench. The only way I've ever been able to describe the selenide smell to my own satisfaction is with words like "chemically, repugnant metallic". I can't think of anything a non-chemist would have experienced in nature that's anything close to a selenide. It's just a bad metallic stink.
Back in grad school we used to joke about using a syringe to squirt a good 50 cc of this stuff (or thiophenol) into an enemy's car through the rubber window seal. Can you imagine opening your car door in the morning after someone did that? Blech!
11. Dave on May 15, 2012 10:23 AM writes...
Electronic technicians of the 1950s and 1960s were quite familiar with the stench of Selenium compounds. Many pieces of electronic equipment from that era used Selenium rectifiers, and these would occasionally fail, and spew burning Selenium (mixed with various heavy metals, used to form a low temperature solder, such as Cadmium, etc.). And, to think that these things were installed in customer's homes! Eeeek!
12. Kevin on May 15, 2012 10:42 AM writes...
Indeed, PhSeH has nothing on Benzyl mercaptan. In grad school we referred to the latter as fermented-cajun-skunk-turd-on-fire.

On the other hand, for those inclined to reduce nitrostyrenes to substituted phenethylamines in their own garage lab and would rather avoid using LAH in anh THF, (like in PIKAL), the good news is that borohydride in alcohol works fine for the purpose, provided that few mol% of metallic selenium is added at later point - the in situ generated NaSeH takes nitro to amino, H2Se at the end gets oxidized by air during the workup to red Se and crashes out...
14. Biotechtranslated on May 15, 2012 11:36 AM writes...
I've never found Ph2Se2 to have all that bad of a smell. I think one of the major sources of the bad smells are small quantities of impurities, usually ones that have selenol functional groups.
The worst smell I ever came across was during a selenium reaction (free radical selenosulfonation). The solvent had boiled off and the reagents were a black goo at the bottom of the flask. Wow did that ever smell bad. A combination of garlic, burnt rubber and skunk. Enough to kick your brain into a fight-or-flight response.

I was a PhD student in a group that investigated selenoethers and (thank God, after I had left) telluroethers as ligands. Luckily my project 'only' involved phosphines, arsines and stibines. However, a contemporary of mine had a great deal of trouble finding himself a squash partner. Once he was warmed up, out came the organoselenium compounds in his sweat. He couldn't even tell!
16. Mike on May 15, 2012 12:40 PM writes...
I had the opportunity to work with both thiophenol and selenophenol. To my nose, selenophenol was not really any worse than thiophenol. And it was in fact easier to contain in the fume hood - presumably due to its lower volatility. So, Derek, if you're able to withstand working with thiophenol, then you can handle selenophenol.
17. luysii on May 15, 2012 1:07 PM writes...
Not that thiols are perfumes. I had to work with aliphatic thiols for my senior thesis (nBu-SH, etc. etc.) primarily to study their hydrogen bonding, in order to look at things like Phe-(CH2)n - SH for hydrogen bonding to the pi electron cloud of Phe (remember this was over 50+ years ago). When I'd walk into the dining room of my eating club, people would start looking at their shoes.

As someone who works extensively with both thiophenol (on the multiple gram scale) and elemantal selenium (with the occasional diphenyl diselenide thrown in there for good measure, I find that the smells actually grow on you. Thiophenol smelled foul about the first 3 times and now I'm pretty much desensitized, to the point that if i have drop-size quantities on my gloves I'll hardly be bothered by it. Just give it some time boys, it'll not be nearly as bad after a couple times. (Then again, I smell DMS and i think cabbage/hungry. I think my olfactory nerves may be a little crossed but oh well...)
19. gippgig on May 15, 2012 1:58 PM writes...
#3: There's always polonophenol, and now livermorophenol (hmmm, do you really want to have a chalcogen named after you?).
It is interesting to note that selenocysteine is the 21st amino acid - a rather weird story; in the genetic code UGA usually means stop but in a few special cases it is translated as selenocysteine. (Selenocysteine probably has little odor since it is a zwitterion and therefore should have zero volatility.)
How about including photos of the TIWWW?
On the other hand, how about Things I Love to Work With?

I worked on thiols as a grad student and while thiophenol was horrific, thioacetic acid was far worse. It is easily the foulest shit I've ever come across. I'm sure I stank terribly that year.

I have worked with PhSeH a fair bit, also PhSH, PhSeSePh and various other Se derivs.
The big advantage of PhSeH over PhSH smellwise is that it is so easily oxidised in air to PhSeSePh (which is completely odourless and for example is inconsequentially recrystallisable on the open bench -- of course it may indeed be supplied containing smelly impurities), so by introduction of air after completion of the reaction, glassware contamination by smelly derivatives is trivially kept to nil. The redox status of selenol(ate) to diselenide interconversion is also easily monitored visually by a colourless to yellow colour-change.
For reactions requiring PhSe- nucleophile, where there is a choice between using PhSeH or PhSeSePh/NaBH4, price (PhSeH is more expensive) or a preference for weighing out solid reagents could be significant factors in deciding which method to choose.
24. Flatland on May 15, 2012 3:38 PM writes...
You forgot the best part of the Org Syn prep:
13. It is well to have a hot sulfuric-nitric acid cleaning bath in the same hood, so that apparatus need not be handled in the open laboratory. The large separatory funnel is conveniently cleaned by pouring into it 50 ml. of concentrated nitric acid. After a few minutes, the acid reacts violently with selenides remaining on the sides. The oxides of nitrogen produced effectively clean the funnel, which can then be rinsed with water.
14. Water-soluble selenium compounds are poured down the sink in the hood and flushed with much water. Rubber stoppers and gloves can be freed from toxic compounds by soaking them for a few minutes in bromine or chlorine water and then in dilute sodium hydroxide solution.
Fun Stuff
Talk of this has caused me to experience some nostalgia, so I figured Id share my $0.02. Ive never smelled selenophenol, but I am intimately acquainted with the smell of thiophenol, along with ethane, propane, and butane dithiol, from undergrad (making As and Hg ligands). I can say this with full confidence and certainty: thiophenol pales in comparison to the alkane dithiols. They stink, don't stop stinking, and the smell sticks to you for weeks (double the sulfur, double the fun). In undergrad, all it took was opening a bottle in a fume hood, and we would start getting phonecalls from other labs. Angry phonecalls. Someone once spilled a couple of mL in a hood in our lab once, and the police showed up because someone reported it as a chemical warfare attack. Ah, the good old days.

going on thirty years ago, a labmate tried the very small-scale reduction of a bromo-cyclopropane with H2Te. We were barely disappointed that it didn't work--no one wanted to repeat the experiment. The god-awful smell lingers in my memory if not in my nostrils to this day.

#13. Do you have a reference for that prep?
27. My friend selenol on May 15, 2012 7:24 PM writes...
You folks are over the top. 30+ years ago I used to regularly make 100gm batches of PhSeH from that Grignard. It was easy and easy to keep fully contained. Liquid N2 trap on the rotavap, bleach etc. The rest was all about handling on a vac line in Shlenk tubes. It distills easily and was *way* *way* cheaper than ordering from Aldrich.
And, it was slightly different from PhSH but really not worse.
28. Secondaire on May 15, 2012 8:11 PM writes...
#2 - no, generally, the problem with organometallics come from the carbanion character of the things, which are very very reactive (due to their instability). Something like t-butylselenol would probably be like t-butanol or t-butylthiol and not pyrophoric at all. Maybe smelly, though.
Man, a good portion of my post-doc involved thiol chemistry. A whole corner of the lab was permanently skunked out from the various thiophenols. I've experienced most of them and I could probably identify a few of them by odor. Thioanisole (used to use it as a cation scagenger) was almost worse than thiophenol, though because the stench hung around FOREVER. Ye Gods.

@26 no, you have to take my word for it. Use of borohydride with catalytic Se was a method I found, and it worked well for solid-phase suported nitro reductions - it was an inspiration from nitro reductions with sulphide as a reducing agent that can be catalyzed with addition of Se powder. I suppose once the conjugate reduction takes place that transforms nitrostyrene to nitrophenylethane with borohydride you can add few mol % of Se and finish the job. It needs mild heating to about 40-50C so the best solvent is EtOH or glyme for NaBH4 and THF for LiBH4

My PhD is in biology, not chemistry, so the nastiest smells I encountered in grad school were fairly tame stuff: rotting organic matter, ordinary animal execretions, formalin, insect defensive chemicals, and the like. Selenophenols and thiophenols are amusing to read about, but probably less amusing to smell. It's no wonder on the many college campuses I've known the Chem building always seems to have a special aroma.

I use the orgsyn prep to make the PhSeH regularly. It works well, but even with careful precautions, it's hard not to come out smelling skunky. Getting a good whiff of this stuff immediately causes discomfort and a headache, something thiophenol does not do. Any residual amounts easily oxidize overnight, making cleanup easier to perform the next day. I agree that it can be contained with a careful setup, but once you have to actually use it in the next reaction...well just hope it is a quantitative reaction with a really convenient work up.
I have not observed any red spots while using nitrile gloves and a lab coat.
I still agree with the title of the post, if you can, just don't work with this stuff. Life is already too short. Plus, no one appreciates a stinky chemist. Though by all means surprise your boss with your smelly self, they will be glad they are paying you to do this!

The comments here and a recent discussion with a person who cannot stand the smell or taste of fresh tomatoes makes me recall that there is a certain percentage of the population which perceives things differently than the majority. Probably a genetic thing. Some people cannot stand the taste of cilantro, some like the smell of skunk.
The intersection of that with practical lab matters happens when one is working with cyanide. There is a fairly large percentage of the population which can't smell the stuff. Fortunately, I have a sensitive nose for it, so when I work with it I tell people that if they see me running they should try to keep up.
The alkyl thiol comments recall the time in the '80s when a biology student on the main campus at Boston U. was cleaning out their lab and poured a liter or so of butanethiol down the drain. At the time, the septic and storm drains were not separated, so the odor spread down the system from Commm Ave to the Fens to the Charles River. Boston Gas was innundated with frantic calls for miles around that there was a major natural gas leak in progress.

Yum! Where to start?
In grad school, I developed a sensitivity to thiophenol. A few mg spilled in the adjoining lab led to a splitting headache. Fortunately, this went away, and I can now work with it without problems.
Selenophenol: an undergrad of mine was making some Ph2Se2 over the weekend. Evidently, he wasn't all that careful: he broke into the emergency medical oxygen supply we kept in the lab in case of cyanide incidents, and told me it was the only way he could keep working.
@34. The cyanide anosmia is quite common, near 30% of the population. We used a LOT of it in my academic lab, and had compounds that could decompose explosively to give lots of HCN. So, the first thing with each new student was to see if they could smell HCN. A lot couldn't.
My own anosmia is for skatole (!!). My wife brought some home, in a sealed capillary inside a Teflon ziploc bag, inside two or three Mylar zip bags. I took it outside, opened it, and sniffed: nothing. Deeper sniff; nothing. Stuck my nose in the bag; eyes started watering, but still no odor. I was invited to stay outside for the next hour.
And the time I opened a bottle of tert-butyl mercaptan in the large lecture class I was teaching (I knew how the air currents moved in the room, and felt safe). It got into the air handling for the building, and I had to run around to all the offices explaining that it wasn't a gas leak. The dept chairman suggested that continued employment depended on not doing that demo again.
And a large prep in our kilo lab, which generated methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and some low MW polyamines. The chemist doing the work came into my office and said "Daddy, take me to the circus - this stuff smells like elephant s**t!"

I actually don't think selenophenol is as bad as thiophenol (and I've worked extensively with both, I've even run that 1944 Org Syn prep on numerous occassions...). I find that selenophenol oxidized so quickly in air to diphenyl diselenide that its effective vapor pressure seems to be much reduced. That, or perhaps my nose just ain't that great!
That said, if you need PhSe anion, I highly suggest making it from lithium metal and PhSeSePh with sonication, or NaBH4 and PhSeSePh. Both methods allow you to avoid the dreaded PhSeH.
37. exNVS on May 16, 2012 3:45 PM writes...
Brings back memories. As a postdoc (ca. 1975 or so) I made the stuff using the Org Syn prep. Used it to make diphenyl diselenide, from which I then made PhSeBr. I recall it being unpleasant, but not as bad as benzyl mercptan.

In my long ago youth, I worked with phosphines and a variety of selenides in an organometallic chemistry group, then progressed to growing sulfate reducing bacteria on 400 litre scales. However, none of these made people give me a wide berth on the London Tube system, but a reaction of dimsyl sodium with an aryl epoxide certainly did. I could not smell it, but clothes had to be burned according to me then girl friend! DJN

When I worked with diethyl ether in undergrad OChem, fortunately for only one step of two different reactions during the year, I used a VOC-class respirator and handed the job of monitoring distillation to the prof. She was sympathetic. I don't think we used sulfur compounds at all, it being a community college lab; I suspect they might have been involved when the prof had written on one of the experiments in the lab manual "Do not do! STINKS!!!"

I woke up out of a sound sleep this morning remembering this post, and feeling glad that nobody seems to deliberately research or synthesise horrible-smelling compounds. The thought of what one could do by tacking a few seleniums onto already-foul compounds is ... worrying.

I can't think of anything a non-chemist would have experienced in nature that's anything close to a selenide.
I've seen the smell of H2Se explained as "rotting radish".
Haven't experienced either, though.

Dimethylmercury. That's pretty much what you don't want to work with. It's much worse than even botulinum toxin and the ilk. Just read through the Wikipedia articles and you'll know; it kills the best of them, half a year afterwards, in the microgram doses which seep through your protective gloves...
*That's* stuff you don't want to work with. Or perhaps 100% pure resiniferatoxin, that'd be rather nasty as well, even if it didn't outright *kill* you... ;)

Hahaha I lost it at the thiophenol comment.
Someone in my lab was working with that for several months. Every day I went in trying to figure out what the god damn smell was. I described it similar to you: burning rubber with a hint of rotten chicken.

Apparently benzenetellurol has, in fact, been synthesized. No comments about the odor - maybe it tends to form a solid quickly enough to not be a problem? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphenyl_ditelluride

So if thiols and "selenols" stink, and butyls stink, with butyl mercaptan being one of the worst thiols, what then of butyl selenomercaptan? I've seen only a few mentions of it, mostly (incorrectly based on Wikipedia) stating that it's a component of skunk stink. Never had the dubious pleasure of getting a whiff of the pure stuff, nor can I find literature on any use for it besides clearing the area.
47. Galane on November 8, 2013 7:29 AM writes...
Something pretty high up on the stench-o-meter is decomposed Tenite. Tenite is a (typically transparent) cellulosic plastic invented in the 1930's by Eastman. They still make it, don't know if they've solved the decomposition issue.
It saw quite a bit of use in the automotive industry due to its clarity and low melting temperature. Unfortunately that temperature isn't too far above what the interior of a car in the sun with all the windows up can reach. Over time, the plastic shrinks, distorts and turns brown.
It's like the rubber doggie doo with lifelike odor that sticks to your hands, as mentioned in one of Robert Asprin's "Myth" books.
But it doesn't even take heat to get the stink going. Leave a car with Tenite parts in its interior sealed up in a dark garage for two or three decades and you'll swear someone shat and vomited in a well used litterbox and hid it in the car for all that time.
If Eastman is ever on the lookout for extra revenue, they should pull out their circa 1940 formula for Tenite. Applying some creative aging techniques to pellets of the stuff would make an excellent non-lethal (except to olfactory nerves) area denial agent.
In recent years, Eastman collaborated on a "skeleton" bodied electric guitar. Their contribution was molding the shell in Tenite. I'd hope they had the decomposition and stench issues solved!

While I haven't had the misfortune of working with tellurium compounds, I have had to make diphenyl diselenide over the course of my PhD. The OrgSyn prep is pretty smell-free with bromine oxidising the selenophenol in a couple of minutes. Unfortunately a colleague set his mind on making DPDS through the ancient air-oxidation method.
He ended up in the ICU on oxygen.
Moral of the story: You may not mind the smell, but that don't mean it won't eff you up anyway.

Take the Risk
Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk

moreNo risk, pay the cost.Know risk, reap the rewards.In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown—the risks of life—we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential.Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you've never imagined.By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life?The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters—conjoined twins—shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors …As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk—he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives.In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us—and all that we can offer life?Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including:• A short review of risk-taking in history.• An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk.• Learning how to assess and accept risks.• Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives. less

PetSugar Street Team: Roll 'n Clean Is the Best Litterbox Ever
My favorite thing about this is you never have to touch, or even come close to touching waste. You fill it with your favorite scooping litter, roll it upside down, roll back and empty the drawer. The end. Litter changed. I dump mine into scented garbage bags and toss in the bathroom trash.
Get the rest of her review when you
I've read a few reviews about litter slipping out when you roll it. You need to put it together correctly, and make sure the clips are secure before you roll. My only issue is that small litter particles and/or dust does slip through the seam, but I need to sweep the stray litter from kitty's paws on the floor anyway, so it's a tiny, tiny problem. Not worth docking this wonderful product a star.
If you'd love to sing your praises for another pet product, join the Street Team and share your review with us!

It started when a sperm whale was washed ashore is Pakis Jaya beach, Karawang, West Java On Last Wednesday. The 12-meter whale was in stuck in the swallow water. A lot of people from my kampoong and nearby areas came to see the beached whale. My friends and I came, too.
On Thursday, rescuers from Jakarta Animal Aid Network, navy divers and many voluenters tried to lead the whael to the sea. However, due to many boats packed with spectator on the sea which bloked its way. The whale failed return tand to the open sea and was washed back to the beach. By then the number of the spectator increased. Some of them even climbed on the whael's back and posed and picture causing some scratches and bruisses on its delicate skin. I felt pity to that poor animal.
On Saturday, again the rescuers tried to save this 2 tone creatur this time, they used 10 boats to pull the whale. I was lucky because my father who was one of the volunteers allowed me to take part in the operation . together with other volunteers, I pushed the wale to the deeper sea, late on that day. It refloated and spouted water from head before swimming to the ocean.

The development team at Blizzard says that all players who are using a Battle.net password that they are also employing on a service that has been affected by the SSL vulnerability known as the Heartbleed bug should change it in order to make sure that they are protected.
The studio makes it clear in the official announcement that the encryption of Battle.net itself was not directly affected in any way and that there is no cause to worry about the security of the game associated with it.
The team adds, "we recommend changing your Battle.net password to a new, unique password. As always, we recommend that you maintain separate login credentials for each online service you use. Using the same email or password across multiple services greatly increases the potential impact of any compromise."
Battle.net is used to centralize all information linked to video games like Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft 2, and the company has made it more important during the last few years.
A number of game-related services, including Steam, were affected by the Heartbleed problem, but most of them have implemented measures to make sure that they eliminated their own security problems in the last few days.

News: Rangers Acquire Justin Falk
The Minnesota Wild have traded defenseman Justin Falk to the Rangers for Benn Ferrieo and a sixth round pick in 2014.
Falk, 24, is an RFA and coming off a deal that paid him $825,000.
The Hockey News says that Falk is a big defensive defenseman who plays a safe and steady game.
They note that he lacks consistency in the physical game and that he shouldn't be expected to put up many points.
Michael Russo wrote in the Star Tribune that the Wild had been shopping Falk.
Doug Risebrough, a consultant for Glen Sather, was the GM in Minnesota when Falk was drafted.
Leslie Treff writes For those that asked, Falk is a big tough sixth or seventh d; worst case winds up in Hartford. Former fourth rounder. Probably good move …"
Press Release below
NEW YORK, June 30, 2013 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has acquired defenseman Justin Falk from Minnesota in exchange for forward Benn Ferriero and a sixth round pick (originally Columbus') in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Falk, 24, registered three assists and 40 penalty minutes in 36 games with the Minnesota Wild last season. He posted a plus or even rating in 27 of his 36 contests, and skated in his 100th career NHL game on March 27 against Phoenix. Falk also skated in four playoff contests, making his NHL playoff debut on May 3 at Chicago in Game 2 of their Western Conference Quarterfinal series.
The 6-5, 220-pounder has skated in 108 career regular season contests over four seasons with Minnesota, registering one goal and 14 assists for 15 points, along with 100 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in games played (47) and penalty minutes (54) during the 2011-12 season. Falk notched his first career NHL goal with a power play tally on January 24, 2012, at Colorado. He finished the 2011-12 season ranked fourth on the Wild with 78 hits, and ranked eighth among NHL rookies with 78 blocked shots.
Falk made his NHL debut on March 19, 2010, at Columbus, and registered his first career NHL point with an assist on October 19, 2010, against Vancouver.
The Snowflake, Manitoba native has also skated in 189 American Hockey League (AHL) contests over three seasons with the Houston Aeros, registering six goals and 20 assists for 26 points, along with 172 penalty minutes. Falk established AHL career-highs in assists (11), points (14), shots on goal (72), and plus/minus rating (plus-16), and tied his AHL career-high in goals (three) in 2010-11. His plus-16 rating led the Aeros that season. Prior to turning professional, Falk captured the 2008 Memorial Cup as a member of the Western Hockey League's (WHL) Spokane Chiefs. He was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star team after registering two points (one goal, one assist) and a plus-four rating in four tournament contests.
Falk was originally selected by Minnesota as a fourth round choice, 110th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
Ferriero, 26, tallied one assist in four games with the Rangers last season. He was acquired by the Rangers from Pittsburgh in exchange for Chad Kolarik on January 24.

Craig McCracken (right) and his wife Lauren Faust (left) look over some of their notes.
For a Friday afternoon of an inaugural event it was pretty spectacular. This was supposed to be the "slow day", but the first day of the CTN-Expo in Burbank was a overwhelming success due to the large amount of attendees and the incredible array of artist exhibitors. In addition to the large exhibitor room, there are two rooms of informative panels which are seemingly filled at all times. An interview with Mike Mignola (Hellboy) and a seminar on Crafting the Pitch were particularly popular. The day concluded with a VIP Party which ran from 6pm to midnight.
Day two starts today at 10am. If you want to be in the industry, want to be inspired by other artists, or simply want to hang out with a who's who of current cartoon making, check out the CTN-Expo today or tomorrow. If you were there yesterday (or today) let us know what you think of the Expo in the Comments section below.

Scott Disick "Won't Drink Again" Until After Kourtney Kardashian Gives Birth to Third Child
Scott Disick is taking it easy for a while. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is sobering up after landing in the hospital for alcohol poisoning on June 22, an insider tells Us Weekly.
PHOTOS: Scott and Kourtney's romance
"He stopped drinking cold turkey—and promised he won't drink again until after Kourtney gives birth," the source tells Us. "Scott knew he had hit rock bottom."
The scary incident became a wake-up call for the 31-year-old, who is expecting baby No. 3 with Kardashian, 35, in December. The longtime couple are already parents to son Mason, 4, and daughter Penelope, 2.

"[Kourtney] told him that was the last straw," according to the insider.
As previously reported, Disick has had a difficult time since losing both his parents within the past year. "[He] went through a dark place," a source told Us, but "is doing great now."

CSU Applications Exceed 100,000 in First Two Weeks
October 16, 2009
By Erik Fallis
Priority Application Period Update
A total of 111,140 prospective California State University students submitted their applications through the system's application website, csumentor.edu, between Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009 and Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009. Applications submitted last year, during in the same two week period, totaled 62,520.
The largest increase in applications continues to come from community college students applying for upper-division transfer to a CSU. More than 48,000 prospective students applied for upper-division transfer for fall 2010, a nearly three-fold increase from last year. More than 62,000 applications were submitted by prospective first-time freshmen for fall 2010, an increase of nearly 50 percent from last year.
All 23 campuses will remain open for applications from Oct. 1 through Nov. 30. After that period, at least 12 campuses will stop accepting applications from prospective first-time freshmen and, in some cases, from community college transfers. The CSU encourages students to submit their applications early to avoid missing the closing date of campuses or programs. Press Release.

I personally liked it and im surprised i did considering my awful luck with other maybelline foundations i have tried.
it looks light weight and natural on my dry skin and it stays that way through out the day. it is not drying and dose not accentuate any flaky areas i have; i do not powder it though and i make sure to will exfoliate and moisturize before applying it.
it is medium coverage; i do stipple the foundation on the areas i need extra coverage on. it is not sticky and will feel like skin after a while of application; it reminds me of the finish nars sheer glow gives me.

I have an oily complexion and thought maybe the "powder-like finish" of this foundation would help alleviate some of the greasiness that seems to pop up on my face midday. However, this foundation turned my face into a greasy, makeup-y mess less than a couple hours after applying it. No foundation has ever made my skin so oily; the makeup literally melted off of my face! The same applies to the Dream Smooth Mousse that comes in the small, glass pot (this happens with any of the "mousse" products, really).
I love Maybeline, but this foundation just missed the mark for me.

I absolutely loved the name and look of this foundation when I saw it at the store. It sounded so perfect! I was wrong. Upon applying this foundation all over my face with my favorite foundation brush, I could see: all my imperfections stood out. Pores, bumps, fine lines.. Everything ! Everything that other foundations can hide. Like all Maybelline Foundations that I have tried, it was very Orangey-Pink for my Neutral skin. However, if I mix this with Loreal True Match foundation in W1, with this foundation in Light 4, it makes the perfect coverage and color for me. It's the only combo I'll ever use.

This is my favorite foundation ever. I am in between Light 1 and 2 (as usual, my skin is never a normal shade) and I add one pump of each and mix them together and they match my skin wonderfully. I have been as dark as Light 4 and I bought medium 1 to use as a contouring shade. There are quite a few shades in the light/medium/dark ranges, I think there are 12 in total. The formula is really creamy and not too runny. It tends to dry quickly once you pump it so it is best to work fast with your foundation brush/hands/sponge so that you can get enough for an application. I really like the pump because the nozzle locks so it won't leak out if you toss it in your makeup bag for traveling. The old bottle had a lid that went over the locking pump but now it is just the locking nozzle/pump which is nice because there are fewer lids to lose. I would say the formula is medium to full coverage, you could easily apply this to be full coverage with an extra layer. It blends well and doesn't settle into pores. I set it with powder because it can get a little shiny by the end of the day without powder. I have normal skin but get just a touch of oil on my forehead if I don't put any powder on. It lasts all day too, I use primer underneath but if you aren't constantly touching your face it lasts on its own. I definitely recommend this foundation as a nice, creamy, medium-to-full-coverage for normal to dry skin types. It is also affordable at about $9 a bottle and I have only used one whole bottle in the 5+ years I have used this foundation. Good stuff!

This product was actually quite good. It was easy to apply and covered well. I used it for a whole year. Although, it was very shiny so I always had to set it with powder and it didn't last very long on my face. It didn't stay on well. The worst thing about this product was its packaging. The lid came off and it leaked everywhere, which I've heard has happened to quite a few other people. Aside from that it has been a good foundation.

I tried this because in the ads it says it helped blurring the look of pores, which intrigued me right away since mine are enlarged! I purchased the lightest color for $8, but sadly it didn't match my tone and gave me more of an orangy color.
It's quite easy to work on, not to mention the pump makes it easy and less of a hassle to put on. Although as the days goes on, you will see it begin to dramatically fade, dry your skin and reveal flaws. It lasted for me about five to six hours and throughout the whole time wearing it, my skin felt very greasy and dirty, even though I washed it before putting this foundation on. Also, sorry I'm being very negative, but it caused me to break out more.
I hear good things about Maybelline Dream Air Mousse however!

I made a fantastic review on this not too long ago. But unfortunately I was too quick to judge on this foundation. I don't really like it. It broke me out, at first I was unsure if it was the foundation itself. But as soon as I stopped wearing the foundation and just started wearing powder foundation, the breakouts stopped. It was then I knew it was foundation that was breaking me out. Ever since I stopped using this foundation I've been having really good skin. I have the shade classic ivory which is a little to dark for my skin tone and it's kind of pinkish. It got a good coverage and literally lasts all day. It sort of made my skin feel gross after a while. It's alright but I wouldn't reccomend it t

I liked that it had a pump but it looked almost cake on me and its not like I didn't blend it out or anything. I blended it out fully and it still looked a bit cakey. It didn't help my combo skin as I broke out because of it.

I have fair-medium and combination skin and I think this product is great for my skin because it has a really nice coverage and you don't need to use too much. It's also pretty light and doesn't feel like you're wearing too much makeup. This was the first foundation I ever got and I'm very impressed and would definitely buy it again. I'm not sure about the price, because I wasn't the one who bought it, but whatever the price it's worth it, 5/5.

View the Table of Contents. Read the Introduction.Rachel Rubin and Jeff Melnick show us the skinny on pop's melting pot. The cauldron does not burn off immigrant character, creating American sameness, but intensifies its many tastes. Ladle after ladle of ethnic infusions go into the pot--Scarface to Gypsy Punks, pachuco zoot suiters to Ravi Shankar, Jimmy Cliff to West Side Story. They compound the terms of race and place until they reform the mainstream. And, suddenly, that old wasp canon has become just another ethnic style. --W. T. Lhamon, Jr., author, most recently, of Jump Jim Crow: Lost Plays, Lyrics, and Street Prose of the First Atlantic Popular CultureA sprawling and uniquely synthetic account of the role immigrants have played as performers, entrepreneurs, and as the subjects of the mass culture industry. Brings a stunning, transnational array of immigrant cultural forms, immigration policies, and cohorts together in new and important ways. --Rachel Ida Buff, University of Wisconsin-MilwaukeeHow does a 'national' popular culture form and grow over time in a nation comprised of immigrants? How have immigrants used popular culture in America, and how has it used them?Immigration and American Popular Culture looks at the relationship between American immigrants and the popular culture industry in the twentieth century. Through a series of case studies, Rachel Rubin and Jeffrey Melnick uncover how specific trends in popular culture--such as portrayals of European immigrants as gangsters in 1930s cinema, the zoot suits of the 1940s, the influence of Jamaican Americans on rap in the 1970s, and cyberpunk and Asian American zines in the1990s--have their roots in the complexsocio-political nature of immigration in America.Supplemented by a timeline of key events and extensive suggestions for further reading, Immigration and American Popular Culture offers at once a unique history of twentieth century U.S. immigration and an essential introduction to the major approaches to the study of popular culture. Melnick and Rubin go further to demonstrate how completely and complexly the processes of immigration and cultural production have been intertwined, and how we cannot understand one without the other.

Aug. 18, 2011: HP Hails Autonomy Acquisition
HP CEO Leo Apotheker hailed the computer giant's $11.1 billion acquisition of Autonomy as "bold action" that would "squarely position HP in software and information to create the next-generation information platform and, thereby, create significant value for our shareholders." The one wild card never mentioned in the HP Autonomy announcement was that HP CFO Cathie Lesjak as later reported by Fortune Magazine had objected to the deal before the HP board of directors because of the hefty 11 times revenue price tag.

A marriage proposal in Punta Cana
Punta Cana is one of the most romantic, and popular, destinations for weddings, vow renewals and proposals. One of our readers has kindly sent in their own personal experience of their marriage proposal in Punta Cana…
Poonam & Abz – The Proposal
"A magical beach proposal in the Caribbean – Abz flew Poonam out to Punta Cana in Dominican Republic for what she thought was to celebrate her 27th birthday. But this was one birthday that Poonam would remember for the rest of her life and here's why…
We stayed at the 5 star resort of Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda. On the day of the proposal, after a wonderful birthday breakfast, we started the day off with an incredible ocean spa called Dr Fish Ocean Spa, it was the most unbelievable and exhilarating spa experience of our lives. Abz organised for Poonam to be pampered from head to toe enjoying treatments such as full body massages, yoga sessions and fish pedicures. Following the treatments a wonderful light lunch was enjoyed on board the Dr Fish Ocean Spa boat, all with a view of the Caribbean Sea.
Following the Dr Fish Ocean Spa, with prearranged plans of the hired sacred wedding beach gazebo, as the sun set in the Caribbean Abz took Poonam to the resort's beach for an intimate gastronomical 5 course candle lit dinner right by the Caribbean Sea. The exclusive beach gazebo came with an accompanied private waiter at their entire disposition. The 5 course romantic dinner, hand picked by Abz, had Poonam's favourite dishes such as lobster, prawns, and mussels combing the best of the Caribbean all prepared by a private chef especially for this special evening.
With the picture perfect backdrop and everything in place Abz got down on one knee and proposed to Poonam with a Tiffany 4-claw diamond ring!… she of course said yes!!! A perfect end to an intimate fairy tale proposal on one of the best beaches in the world."

Research in the Malaria Immunology Section focuses on analysis of the interface between the malaria parasite and the immune system of the vertebrate host. It is known that those living in malaria-endemic areas progressively acquire resistance to this infection, although this takes many years to attain. We have also known that pioneering studies going back to the early 1960s have established that antibodies from adults in endemic areas, when passively transferred to children with malaria, can drive down parasitemias. However, we still do not know the antigenic targets of those antibodies, nor do we know the effector mechanisms involved in the reduction of parasite burdens. In addition, we have only limited knowledge of the parasite sexual stages and their transmission through mosquitoes in the field. Our studies are directed toward a better understanding of these complex and important parasites, as well as identification and evaluation of possible candidate antigens for a malaria vaccine.
We are studying the acquisition of clinical immunity in children living in malaria-endemic areas and investigating the impact of hemoglobin polymorphisms such as sickle cell trait on malaria incidence and disease. We have a long-standing collaboration with investigators in Mali, and in 2008, we established a new field site in Kenieroba, Mali. We are characterizing malaria-specific antibody responses in children and adults to both erythrocytic and sexual stages of parasite development. Antibodies to these stages are being characterized for their functional activity against parasites using a number of different assays. Moreover, these assays are being used to evaluate various parasite-encoded proteins as potential malaria vaccine candidates.
Because the process of transmission in the field is not well-understood, we are currently conducting a comprehensive assessment of sexual stage parasites in our field site in Mali and determining possible targets of antibodies that might block transmission to mosquitoes. Understanding the assays that are utilized to measure transmission blocking, the parasite antigens that might be effective vaccine candidates against sexual stage parasites, and the process of malaria transmission in the field will aid in efforts to develop a vaccine to block transmission of infection as a novel strategy for control of this disease.

She has served as president of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and chair of the Tropical Medicine and Parasitology Study Section. Her lab's work focuses on immune responses to malaria parasites, particularly in those living in malaria-endemic areas, and also on identification and evaluation of possible candidate antigens for malaria vaccines.
