Poisonous Plants: Ivy, Oak, and Sumac: Beware the Oils
As the temperature rises, so do your opportunities to commune with nature. Do not let poison ivy ruin your plans.
One beautiful summer day, Joanna recruited her two young children to help her work in the backyard. After working in the vegetable garden, she and her kids turned their attention to the patch of weeds growing at the back of the yard and along one side of the house.
The next morning, Johanna awoke to find a slightly uncomfortable rash erupting on her arms and lower legs. So did her daughters. Over the course of the day, their rashes grew progressively worse. By the second morning, the three were scratching furiously. By mid-afternoon, they were in the doctor's office. The diagnosis? Poison ivy.
Poison ivy, oak, and sumac grow almost anywhere—deep in the woods, at the local park, in the sand dunes at the beach, and in your yard.
The Poison
The culprit behind the extremely uncomfortable allergic skin rash of poison ivy, oak, and sumac is urushiol (pronounced "you-ROO-shee-ol"), an oily substance found in every part of the plant except the pollen. Upon contact with the skin, urushiol is almost immediately absorbed. If not removed quickly—within about 10 minutes—an allergic reaction (in most people) begins with redness and swelling followed by extreme itchiness, and then by blisters (filled with a yellowish fluid) that can break open, causing crusting and scaling.
Most people develop a rash within 12-72 hours of exposure. But, depending on the amount of exposure, it may be longer. Although the itching and swelling can be treated and controlled, there is no cure for the rash itself, which usually takes 1-3 weeks to run its course.
Catching the Rash
Most people do not develop a rash upon first exposure, but rather after repeated exposures, and some will never react. In addition, sensitivity to urushiol often decreases with age, so children tend to be much more susceptible to urushiol-caused rashes than adults.
Despite what you may have heard, you cannot catch the rash from someone who has it, nor can you spread the rash from one part of your body to another by scratching. You must have direct contact with urushiol yourself.
However, you can come into contact with urushiol in a number of ways:
- Touching the sap—Contact with the sap of a poison ivy, oak, or sumac plant exposes you to urushiol. And since urushiol remains active for months, this includes coming into contact with dormant or dead plants.
- Carriers of the poison—Anything that comes into contact with the oily urushiol will be a conduit, including skin, clothing, backpacks, tools, and carpeting. It is even possible to become infected by handling firewood that has lingering traces of poison ivy, oak, or sumac.
- Furry friends—Pets are an especially good conduit for urushiol. While their fur protects them from getting the rash, the urushiol readily sticks to their fur, and then spreads to anything that touches it, including you.
- Through the air—When poison ivy, oak, or sumac is burned, airborne urushiol particles can come in contact with the skin and cause a rash. If inhaled, these particles can cause a rash in the lungs, a serious condition. Accordingly, you should never try to remove or dispose of these poisonous plants by burning them.
Treatment at Home
It takes about 10 minutes for urushiol to be fully absorbed into the skin. If you know you have come in contact with it, the best treatment is to wash the contaminated skin with cool water, with or without soap, as soon as possible. Once the rash has developed, there are a number of treatments that will lessen its severity, including:
- Cold or lukewarm showers
- Baths mixed with oatmeal compounds
- Anti-itch creams and lotions
- Topical corticosteroids
If you cover the rash or blisters after applying cream or lotion, do so with a gauze pad, and cover them loosely so you do not rupture the blisters. Avoid scratching the rash and do not break open the blisters caused by the rash. Though the liquid within the blisters will not spread the rash, bacteria on the fingers and under the fingernails can cause the rash and/or blisters to become infected.
Wash anything you wore, including your shoes, during the time you came in contact with poison ivy, oak, or sumac. Use hot, sudsy water. Also wash anything else that might have come in contact, such as garden tools or sports equipment. You can use rubbing alcohol or a mix of water and bleach.
When to See a Doctor
Although poison ivy, oak, and sumac usually can be treated without medical attention, see a doctor if:
- You have a severe reaction to the urushiol, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or your eyelids swells shut
- The rash covers a large part of your body
- You have large blisters
- You cannot sleep
- The rash becomes severe with swelling, oozing, or pain
- The itch cannot be controlled with medications
- The rash affects the eyes, mouth, or genitals
- The rash does not go away after 3 weeks
- Any new or worsening symptoms
In such cases, your doctor or dermatologist will generally prescribe prescription-strength cortisone creams. In extremely severe cases oral steroids may be used to control itching and swelling. In addition, since airborne urushiol particles pose an extreme health danger, seek immediate medical attention if you think you or your child has inhaled such particles, even if symptoms have not yet occurred.
The best way to avoid getting a poison ivy, oak, or sumac rash is to avoid contact with urushiol. Take these steps to protect yourself:
- Cover up skin—When walking or working in areas where these poisonous plants may lurk, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants and tuck your pant bottoms into your socks. Next, become familiar with what these plants look like, and avoid them. Since they can grow in somewhat different configurations, the old adage of "Leaves of 3, beware of me" tends to be of only limited help. You can find pictures of poison ivy, oak, and sumac on the American Academy of Dermatology website.
- Clean up—If any of your clothing, tools, furniture, or carpeting comes in contact with urushiol, wash them thoroughly, being careful not to transfer the urushiol to your skin. Do the same with a pet that has been exposed to urushiol.
- Hire help—It is best to hire a professional to remove poisonous plants from around your house or garden. However, if you decide to do it yourself, be sure to pull the entire plant (including the roots) and wear clothing protecting as much of your skin as possible. Never burn the plants.
- Skin care—You can apply a skin care product called IvyBlock that prevents skin from absorbing urushiol.

FS#780 - Hatch should always follow changes to its contour
Opened by Christian Aigner (caigner) - Sunday, 03 March 2013, 20:09 GMT+2

I drew a closed polyline, hatched it (on the same layer) and then moved a node... the hatch didn't change as one would expect.
It would be great if hatches would follow any changes to its contour.

Reason for closing: Works for me
Yes it would be useful, especially if you are changing a lot of contours.
However I quite like the fact that you can independently drag and move the Hatch itself to various other coordinate positions and I also like the fact that once you've created a hatch you can delete a boundary afterwards, leaving only the hatch - which again can be modified etc..
Maybe some Hatch options could be added to the current drawing preferences dialog - including an option to 'follow' contour or a new Hatch widget created.
Just my thoughts here;)
I never thought of hatching being useful without its boundary. But I admit my imagination may be limited by the fact, that I only draw technical drawings of machine parts. I am curious what use case that might be.
I agree that some additional hatch options will suit many users with quite different applications of CAD.
I have used hatching without boundaries for laser cutting (etching) patterns/details like brickwork for façades for architectural models and details like ground shrubs/gravel for sitemaps.
This feature request will be closed.
In the use case that was posted, the hatch would have followed the expected change, had it been selected.
- select only the polyline and drag and drop a node → only polyline changes
- select the polyline and the hatch and then drag and drop a node → polyline and hatch change

LONDON (AP) — Markets appeared Monday to be taking in stride the ongoing failure of U.S. politicians to agree to a budget deal in time to avoid automatic tax increases and spending cuts that many economists think could tilt the world's largest economy back into recession.
With just hours to go before the U.S. falls off the so-called "fiscal cliff," Republicans and Democrats remained divided over tax and spending policies, raising the prospect that markets will start 2013 without a clear idea of America's budget policy. The main sticking point appears to be what level of taxes are imposed on Americans with higher incomes.
Discussions in the Senate broke off Sunday night without agreement. Senators are due to reconvene at 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT) to try to hammer out a deal before the deadline.
"With precisely zero headway made on the fiscal front resulting from the early weekend return by Congressional lawmakers, hopes are fast-fading of any sort of compromise before the end of 2012," said Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co.
However, it's not the first time that budget discussions in the U.S. have gone down to the wire only for a deal to be eventually reached.
Many investors remain confident that some sort of deal will be struck in time following positive noises coming out from late Sunday discussions between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Vice President Joe Biden.
Even if a deal is not reached in time, many investors think that the possible damage wrought by the potential $671 billion package of higher taxes and spending cuts will be limited. A backup proposal that would address only a few issues is expected to be presented by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) if a bipartisan deal is not reached.
"It is likely that many of the fiscal cliff measures allow a certain amount of room within which the government can introduce measures to refrain from any tax increases," said Joshua Mahony, an analyst at Alpari.
The prospect of counter-measures to offset the "fiscal cliff" impact helps explain why markets were fairly calm in Europe and Asia, and Wall Street was poised to open higher on the last day of a year that's seen many indexes post strong gains, partly through rising hopes over Europe's 3-year debt crisis.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed down 0.5% at 5,897.81. For the year as a whole, the FTSE ended 5.8% higher.
The CAC-40 in France closed 0.6% higher on the day at 3,641.07. In 2012, it rose 15.2%.
Those European indexes that were open only traded for half the day. Others, including Germany's DAX, were closed. The DAX was one of the world's best-performers in 2012 with its annual rise of 29.1%.
U.S. stocks were poised for gains at the open despite the "fiscal cliff" uncertainty, with both Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures up 0.2%.
Despite the recent worries, U.S. stocks have had a strong 2012, with the Dow up around 6% so far and the S&P 11.5% higher.
Developments over the U.S. budget will likely be one of the big issues in financial markets in 2013, especially in the early part, alongside Europe's ongoing efforts to contain its debt crisis and the state of the Chinese economy, now the world's second biggest.
Clearly, the full imposition of the "fiscal cliff" measures would hobble the U.S. economy that has shown some signs of late of a more sustainable economic recovery. Waning U.S. economic growth would have an impact worldwide.
Some economists predict the effects of the "fiscal cliff" could eventually throw the U.S. economy back into recession — although if the deadline passes, politicians still have a few weeks to keep the tax hikes and spending cuts at bay by repealing them retroactively once a deal is reached.
Still, the failure to adhere to the deadline following weeks of squabbling and procrastination could be view negatively by the major credit rating agencies and weigh on investor confidence going into 2013.
"I think the market reaction to that will be very negative. This means the U.S. will never be able to bring its house in order. And the deficit will continue to accumulate," said Francis Lun, managing director of Lyncean Holdings in Hong Kong. "No meaningful reform and no solution in sight. You can throw confidence out of the window."
Earlier in Asia, the picture was fairly subdued in those markets that were open — among others, markets in Japan, were closed for the New Year's holidays. After a stellar performance in December, Japan's Nikkei ended the year almost 23% higher.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng, trading for a half-day, closed marginally lower at 22,656.92, to also end the year nearly 23% higher.
Mainland Chinese stocks rose Monday after a private survey showed the country's manufacturing growth at its strongest level in 18 months in December. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.5% to close at 4,648.90.
There was also a fairly calm atmosphere in other financial markets, with the euro down just 0.2% at $1.3190. Despite the endless debate over its future, the euro has actually ended the year modestly higher against the dollar.

As the curtain finally falls on the Regular Season of the EuroLeague Women, all eyes switch to the play-offs as we similtaneously wave goodbye to the clubs who didn't make it.
While the last week of action didn't provide the kind of nerve-shredding, cliff hanger situations we might have hoped for, there was still plenty to ponder and not least the changing play-off scenario which in some cases, went down to the very last seconds.
Bitter-Sweet For Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje?
This was no better demonstrated than in the case of Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje whom having claimed yet another narrow victory with a last gasp success at BLMA, set up what promises to be a particularly intense struggle against domestic rivals Nadezhda.
Had they lost in France, they might have faced Good Angels Kosice - a club they have already managed to beat twice this season in the competition.
|Simone Augustus and her Sparta&K team-mates have lived dangerously but proved they can take care of business when it matters
Pokey Chatman and her team have posted an absolutely fascinating regular season campaign by the way. They deserve huge credit for finishing top of Group C and more than any other year I can remember, they have actually flown relatively low on the radar when it comes to making headlines. They have just taken care of business.
While I still feel they are one of the fringe teams in terms of Final Eight rather than An absolute favourite, I would not write them off because they seem to almost always find a way when they need to in some pretty tight situations. This is of course to be applauded.
The flip-side of course is that whenever a team is locked in close games on a regular basis, it's inevitable one is going to get away and it could come back to haunt Sparta&K. They are incidentally 4-1 in close encounters with their only nail biting loss coming in Madrid against Rivas Ecopolis.
Generally reliant on big contributions from two key players in Seimone Augustus and Candice Dupree this year, I can't wait to see if the former four-time champions can keep digging out the wins they need and repeat their hugely impressive run to another final just like last year.
Waving Goodbye
Of the eight teams who bowed out of the competition this week, Cras Basket Taranto must surely be the most disappointed since they had every chance of making the play-offs but some heavy losses and a slump in form earlier in the season cost them dearly. Leading the Italian league, they do have the quality in their ranks to have made the play-offs and they showed recently against Wisla Can-Pack just what they can do. But, it wasn't to be and their poor form on the road, particularly the margin of some defeats proved to be their downfall.
I had to feel a little sad for Tarbes Gespe Bigorre who will go down in history as a team who failed to win a single game in EuroLeague Women 2012 and this was even more painful since they blew yet another great opportunity this week. They just couldn't get it done down the stretch in Schio and fell to their second narrow defeat in as many weeks - despite another impressive contribution by Ana Cata-Chitiga who made eight of nine from the field to finish with 16 points and seven rebounds. Interestingly Tarbes actually had the eleventh best field goal percentage in the tournament which is respectable but this wasn't even enough to get them a solitary victory. Too many turnovers were one of the real issues.
During some parts of the season, Gospic CO looked like they might flirt with a play-off place but will perhaps be ruing their quickness in jacking up three-pointers during games. Had resources allowed Coach Bralic another quality inside player it might have been so different. They took an incredible seven more triple attempts per game than any other team and that is a mind-boggling statistic - in particular since they were barely shooting 30% - the seventh worse in the competition. Nevertheless, five wins was still a relatively impressive return from the Croatian team who by their own admission, are one of the minnows.
|For Ana Cata-Chitiga and her Tarbes this surely will be a season to forget
Vici Aistes had it tough and finished bottom of Group A but they can at least lay claim to having landed the biggest surprise result of Round 1 once again. Following on from their superb success against Sparta&K Moscow Region Vidnoje last season, they managed to shoot down tournament co-favourites Ros Casares this year. Despite this, I am sure the players will feel at least one or two more wins was within their capabilities - although I gues they were weakened in the latter stages by the loss of Sandra Linkeviciene who left for Ekat.
Uni Seat Gyor headed into their rookie season looking to firstly achieve aim number one - a historic victory in the tournament and they accomplished this at only the second attempt by beating Lotos Gdynia - something they repeated later in the campaign. An early season fall-out with Renee Montgomery didn't help their cause but it has been fun seeing Croatian Iva Ciglar display her passing ability once again while Quanitra Hollingsworth has been rock solid in the paint. But, I think Rita Rasheed is the one player who can look back on her first venture into EuroLeague Women waters with real pride. She is versatile, has posted some decent numbers and offered good energy.
Drawn in a tough group A, it was always going to be an uphill struggle for Javier Fort and his Lotos Gdynia players. As expected it was a baptism of fire in his new role and the Spanish play-caller should be disappointed. While a double over VICI Aistes and a success against Bourges Basket were satisfying, being beaten twice by rookies Uni Seat Gyor was where the difference was between what could have been a decent season (taking into account limited resources and the quality of the group) and what was actually produced which was perhaps a little under par.
It's been another really tough year for former EuroLeague Women champion Jan Bobrovsky as his young Frisco Brno team shot a miserable 36.7% from the field this season. Hamstrung by his budget which has barely been enough to keep the club competitive, there was only one win to remember but what a victory it was as the Czech side claimed a super success against Wisla Can-Pack. But generally, it was a season to forget with the team way off the pace and regularly bullied all over the floor. Despite this, it will have provided great experience to a bunch of young players.
Finally Uniqa-Euroleasing Sopron will probably have to cast their minds way back to the second game of the season to see where things might have turned out differently. Having beaten Tarbes during the opening game, they then went down against Nadezhda in a real heart-breaker and had they won this, you do wonder if a 2-0 start might have helped them to eventually just sneak into the last play-off spot. Losing Tijana Krivacevic to Rivas Ecopolis didn't help an offence which was already struggling to put points on the board but when she moved, their chance of progressing had more or less disappeared anyway. At least a convincing win (albeit in a dead rubber game) against Schio meant they finished with a lively wag of the tail.
A sign of things to come
I am absolutely delighted to see that prolific Israeli guard Shay Doron looks to be heading to UMMC Ekaterinburg. I think she can certainly replace the scoring power of Anete Jekabsone-Zogota who went down injured and if given the right opportunity, she can definitely put points on the board. Algirdas Paulauskas has seen his team hit some real dry spells offensively this season and having someone like Doron is a potential solution although for both the club and player, it will be interesting to see if she can still produce without having the higher volume of opportunities and within the context of playing in a stacked team. I really can't wait to see how effectively Doron performs as a role player, rather than offensive option number one or two as with Elitzur Ramla and the national team.
Defending champions Perfumerias Avenida has decided to acquire the experience of Ilona Korstin who arrives from Besiktas where she has been playing in EuroCup Women. While the Russian national team star might look like butter that wouldn't melt, we all know she is one tough player and she will add some steel and versatility to Salamanca.
I doubt that Ekat or Perfumerias Avenida will be the only teams doing business before the transfer window slams shut very soon and Galatasaray Medical Park are one club who needs to desperately invest in a roster decimated by injuries. Their lack of depth was cruelly exposed by Ros Casares and expecting three players in Taurasi, Prince and Charles to have to perform at the peak of their powers to have a realistic chance of victory at Final Eight is unsustainable and realistically, not even a viable option.
In particular, they look to be in real need of a wing player or smart forward who has size, scoring power and experience. I wait with baited breath to see if they manage to identify someone who fits the bill. I can think of a few but wouldn't want to upset anybody by suggesting they are added to a Gala shopping list!
Fantastic Forty For Viteckova
|Eva Vitecková (ZVVZ USK Prague)
There hasn't been a better display in EuroLeague Women this season (or at least from a statistical and efficiency point of view) than the one posted by Eva Viteckova for ZVVZ USK Prague in Gdynia.
A week after fellow veteran Delisha Milton-Jones grabbed the limelight with 2,500 points in the competition, Viteckova broke the record for performance rating by hitting the 40 mark thanks to the highest score in the tournament this season as she poured in 36 points.
It was also nice to see another Czech Republic legend really produce this week when Hana Horakova fired 17 points for Good Angels Kosice ironically in her homeland against Frisco Brno.
However all of this was tempered by the sad news of yet another ACL injury, this time sustained by Czech national team Edita Sujanova who is out for the foreseeable future and is likely to miss the chance of going to the Olympics in addition to the rest of the campaign with Gyor.
PAULBALL Week 14 Picks
Performance Of The Week: Reigning champions Perfumerias Avenida are a good team and no pushovers but the way Fenerbahce controlled the game to secure an 86-64 win in Istanbul to finish Round 1 unbeaten deserves huge respect. It was another excellent performance from the Turkish club.
The Crucial Cameo: Veteran Oxana Zakalyuzhnaya came off the bench and posted a really nice cameo contribution of 16 points in 21 minutes for Nadezhda in the win at CCC Polkowice with an eye catching seven of nine from the field.
Rising Star Watch: Congratulations to 18 year old Christelle Diallo of Bourges Basket. The forward scored the first point of her EuroLeague Women career with a free-throw against VICI Aistes. Meanwhile team mate Margaux Galliou returned after more than a two month absence but unfortunately couldn't find a bucket from her four attempts. Elsewhere, Barbora Kasparkova equalled her highest score in the competition with a second successive eight point haul for Frisco Brno.
Stats don't lie - 13 of the top 15 three-point shooting teams in the competition made it to the play-offs. UMMC Ekaterinburg and Rivas Ecopolis are the teams who made it to Round 2 despite shooting the ball poorly from downtown. The ten teams with the most miserly defence all advanced to the second round.

Another step in the diagnostic process is grading the cancer cells - taking a measurement of how fast the tumor is likely to grow and spread. Grading is done in the laboratory with cells taken from the prostate gland during biopsy. The cancer cells are measured by how closely they look like normal cells under a microscope.
The most common way of grading prostate cancer is the Gleason System. This grading system is based on a number range from 2 to 10. The lower the number, the lower the grade, and the slower the cancer is growing. The higher the score, the higher the grade of the tumor. High-grade tumors grow more quickly than low-grade tumors, and are more likely to spread to other parts of the body.

It generates datagrids from SQL statements or table names, handles file uploads and image cropping, pagination, searching, CSV export, and inline editing, is lightweight, and works well for large datasets. It is meta driven, and detects dates, numbers, and text blobs automatically. It can edit an additional child table from within a record. Multiple uploads are also supported.
Umple can be used for pure UML modeling. Or it can be used to add UML constructs, such as associations and state machines to code written in Java, PHP, or Ruby. It generates code in these languages that can save a large amount of programming effort and result in higher quality. The UmpleOnline tool allows you to edit UML diagrams graphically, and watch the Umple textual code being written in real time. This works the other way too: you can write textual Umple and watch the corresponding UML diagram appear. Umple is being extended to support patterns, tracing, and a variety of other features. Umple is written in itself, which is central to maintaining its quality. Umple can be used today by any programmer or modeler.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.
tstime is a command that is similar to the time(1) command, but in addition to the runtime, it also prints the highwater memory usage (RSS+VMEM) of the controlled process. tsmon is a command that prints the runtime/highwater memory usage of every process that exits on the system until the tsmon is quit. These programs use the taskstats delay accounting interface of the Linux 2.6 kernel.
timekpr will track and control the computer usage of your user accounts. You can limit their daily usage based on a timed access duration and configure periods of day when they can or cannot log in. With this application, administrators can limit account login time duration or account access hours. It has support for GNOME, KDE, and XFCE and uses time and access Linux PAM modules. It is currently limited to Ubuntu only.
SquidTL allows proxy administrators to manage proxy users: define how much time users can spend on a specific Web site, block sites, limit total time users can spend on the Web daily, and watch users' activity. For example, you can limit the use of Facebook or other social networks with per-user rules or IP. It has a small memory footprint and very fast execution. Management can be done with a smart Web-based administration GUI.
TimeGT is powerful life and task management software that keeps data in sync using a secure server. It offers numerous ways to organize tasks, ideas, and notes. It will suit a wide range of time management techniques used by different people. The following filters are available and can be used in any combination: a project tree of arbitrary depth; task life-cycle supporting Timing folders (supports GTD method); any number of Tags added to a task and used for filtering; and a Start and Due dates based Horizon filter. It keeps tasks up-to-date between any number of computers. Tasks are mediated through the dedicated secure Sync server, and are protected when they travel over the Internet (RSA of adequate length is used). Information is accessible everywhere.

After releasing "The Sicilian" and years of their mind-warping worldwide tour marathon, the band withdrew into drummer Brian Hamiltron's Sugar Mountain Studios to work on a new opus. Breaking away from the punk rock tradition of banging out a record in a few days, they took their damned sweet time making the most ridiculous album possible.
"Scrape The Walls" is a spirited 17-song record that successfully molests punk rock in a similar manner to how Sparks unwholesomely molested glitter rock, the Melvins mauled rock, or the Butthole Surfers maimed music in general. (Speaking of Sparks, this album includes a delightful cover of "Happy Hunting Ground" with Jello Biafra on guest vocals!)
"Scrape the Walls" bounces everywhere from somewhat sunny-dispositioned pseudo anthems to sludgy, stoner rock-esque castings, all glazed with Fleshies' inimitable sense of fuck-you humor. But honestly, no 200-word summary can neatly tie up the disorderly strands of ideas and musical chaos that is Fleshies and we wouldn't want to do them such disservice so we will just say Scrape the Walls is exactly the kind of record AT should be releasing and leave it at that!
"Woah. Now I've been into Fleshies (no 'The') for a while now, and their brand of what I'll call warehouse punk (think bands that spend most of their time playing more unusual 'venues' like abandoned warehouses, and thus come up with some really cool stuff from the total lack of trying to appeal to a typical club audience). Up until now, it had seemed like their output was getting more frantic, so I was expecting this to be some of their most rocking stuff ever. Then I put this on, and it took me a listen, but I realized that it's some of their WEIRDEST stuff ever, and it's great, it's almost what I was expecting from the new Toys That Kill record (which ended up being some of THEIR most rocking stuff). I'm still trying to figure out if there's some weird concept stuff going on here or not, but either way, this is easily in my top ten of the year, if not top five."- Jersey Beat
"It seems almost inevitable: listen to enough punk rock for long enough and a certain amount of burnout sets in for new bands playing the same old styles. That's not to say that the stuff that's already close to your heart loses its luster, but it becomes tougher for new bands to blow you away. Then, every few years a band playing what can only be described as simple punk rock comes along and you're reminded why you love this stuff. Fleshies were such a band for me when I heard their first full length five-ish years ago. With Scrape The Walls, their third full length, they continue their catchy, messy, smart, and frantic take on resurrecting the punk-rock corpse. Thankfully, Fleshies show no signs of being anything less than awesome. Get this and have your faith restored!"- Punk Planet
"I like the sound of this CD. It's raw and roughly recorded, and that's a good thing. The vocals are often distorted, and that reminds me a little of Toys That Kill. There is no general sound or style here. Sometimes there's fast and energetic punk rock, sometimes there's sludgy rock, and then there's "Runner's Legs," a song that sounds like it's from the 1980's. I don't usually like 80's songs, but it's my favorite track on this CD. Jello Biafra makes a guest appearance (imagine that!) on a cover of Sparks' "Happy Hunting Ground," and that's pretty entertaining."- Go Metric

"Spaceman" Santa helps promote Toys for Tots
by Bethany M. Dunbar
copyright the Chronicle 1-2-2013
CRAFTSBURY — The Toys for Tots box was looking a little sad. Craftsbury General Store owner Emily Maclure was searching for a way to encourage customers to bring in a toy to donate to the project, which provides new toys for children who might not have a lot under the tree.
She got to talking about the situation with Bill Lee, the retired Red Sox baseball player who lives nearby. Next thing you know, Mr. Lee was signed up to play Santa in order to get some more attention to the Toys for Tots program.
It was an opportunity for Mr. Lee to promote his new brand of wine, called Spaceman. Add live music, provided by Mavis MacNeil and Andrew Koehler, and an event was born.
Spaceman was Mr. Lee's nickname when he was on the Red Sox, and he had a label created that looks like an old-fashioned baseball card. Mr. Lee grew up in the Napa Valley in California but has roots in Vermont as well. He feels strongly that wines made in California are better because the state gets more sun. He said maybe Vermont wines made with white grapes will be all right.
Spaceman wine is also a fund-raiser. The label promises that a portion of the profits from the wine will go to the Red Sox Foundation, which supports a Red Sox Scholars program and an inner city baseball program.
Mr. Lee calls his wine a "petit cera cera."
He describes it, on the label, as such:
"Shanghaied for fifty years on the east coast by the game of baseball, Bill 'Spaceman' Lee — sixth generation Californian and prodigal son has returned to his roots by making a monsterous red wine, like that which has run through his ancestors veins and vines since the 1800s.
"This wine will knock your Sox off."
On the day of the promotion, December 22, Mr. Lee gave people tastes of his wine. He came equipped with autographed baseball bats as well.
Michelle Guenard, creator of Michelle's Spicy Kimchi, came by with a Red Sox jersey, and before long, she and Ms. Maclure were posing for photos on Santa's lap and pretending to attack him with wine bottles and an autographed bat.
Ms. Maclure added another incentive for people to donate: Anyone who brought in a toy would be entered to win one pizza a month for a year.
It worked.
As the musicians were packing up on the afternoon of December 22, Ms. Maclure said the event had helped fill up the Toys for Tots box.

Nokia Unveils the Black Nokia N82
Quick Reply
Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N82 in stylish black, bringing a blend of state-of-the-art imaging, integrated navigation and high-speed Internet connectivity to the Nseries range of converged devices. Here is more info:
"This jet black multimedia computer enables people to 'geotag' the images they capture - allowing them to not only be saved by date, but by location as well. This adds to a line-up of compelling photography features, including a 5 megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss optics and a Xenon flash. Not only does the Nokia N82 take great pictures, array of advanced connectivity features makes it easy for consumers to share their discoveries, journeys and locations. The Nokia N82 in black is expected to start shipping within weeks, with an estimated retail price of approximately 400 euros, before taxes and subsidies.
When it comes to camera capabilities, the gloss-black Nokia N82 is set to wow world travelers and photography enthusiasts alike. The 5 megapixel camera, powerful Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics, ultra-fast camera activation, autofocus with a dedicated assist lamp, fast reloading between shots and DVD-like quality video capture all ensure that special moments can be captured "picture perfect" - even in low light conditions.
Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and high resolution camera, the Nokia N82 automatically tags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the Internet or on the device itself. When it comes to sharing, consumers can upload their pictures or videos directly from their Nokia N82 to services like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube. By installing Nokia's exclusive and free Sports Tracker application, consumers can share their whereabouts and travel route with others on the Sports Tracker website - including the capture locations of images. The Nokia Sports Tracker is a GPS based activity tracker that runs on Nokia smartphones. Information such as speed, distance and time are automatically stored in the application, and can be shared with others.
Urbanistas explore the world
To showcase this exciting application, several explorers took off across the globe, each with a GPS-enabled Nokia N82 as their travel companion. On
, people around the world could follow these intrepid travelers, and share the experience in near real-time through images captured on each explorers' device. The Sports Tracker widget tracked the explorers' location and marked the spot where each image was taken on a constantly updated map. The widget has now been embedded in many blogs and social networking sites.
So that everyone can track and share their own journeys, stories and pictures with friends - just like one of the explorers - the Sports Tracker mobile widget will soon be made available with many new and existing S60-based converged mobile devices. It is also possible to share and compare travel routes or workouts with friends or the Sports Tracker community. Others' journeys can also be browsed by location, for example to find a more exciting travel route.
The Nokia N82 is a true travel companion and supports microSD memory cards of up to 8GB which allow the device to hold the user's choice of up to 3,600 high-resolution pictures, 5 hours of high quality video capture, up to 6,000 songs or all of the available regions for the Nokia Maps application.

|Zane Tamane returns to Nadezhda for a second stint
The chase for titles in Russia and the EuroLeague Women is sure to intensify following several major signings by Nadezhda Orenburg.
Zane Tamane is returning to Nadezhda, the team she had already played for in the 2008/09 season in the EuroLeague Women.
Tamane was a leading player in the Fenerbahce side that went unbeaten in the EuroLeague Women before falling in an upset to Rivas Ecopolis at the Final Eight, and arrives in Oreburg along with Dewanna Bonner, a former standout at Brno, Rivas and most recently Perfumerias Avenida.
Montenegro power forward/center Iva Perovanovic has departed CCC Polkowice for Nadezhda, and American guards Kelly Miller and Renee Montgomery have also joined the club.
Perovanovic was among the leading players at last year's EuroBasket Women and had a solid campaign with Polkowice, helping the club reach the League Finals in Poland.
Montgomery had been on the books of Seat Gyor last season but left the club after just three EuroLeague games in which she averaged 16 points and 2.7 assists.
Nadezhda reached the Second Round of the EuroLeague Women.
Prague Finally Get Dubljevic
|Versatile forward Jelena Dubljevic is joining Prague, further strengthening their front court
A player who joined Nadezhda during the 2011-12 campaign, Montenegro international Jelena Dubljevic, has penned a deal with ZVVZ USK Prague.
Prague have been interested in the player for some time, dating back to her spell at Tarbes in France during the 2010-11 season.
"When last year we had a lot of players injured, we tried to get her during the season from Orenburg but failed," Prague general manager Marek Kucera revealed on the Prague website.
"Now, however, we have an agreement and we are glad that next season Jelena will wear the ZVVZ USK jersey."
Dubljevic played five EuroLeague Women games for Rivas Ecopolis and six for Nadezhda.
Her combined average was 7.9 points and 3.2 rebounds per contest.
At last year's EuroBasket Women in Poland, Dubljevic was outstanding, averaging 13.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
Lavender To Schio
American center Jantel Lavender has left CCC Polkowice for Beretta-Famila Schio, the club has announced.
Lavender, 23, had spells with both Besiktas in Turkey and CCC Polkowice last season.
In two games in the EuroCup Women she averaged 18.0 points and 9.5 rebounds and in the EuroLeague Women she contributed with 8.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per contest.

Western North Carolina has a shortage of more than 100 primary care physicians, and with 30 million more Americans now able to gain access to health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the demand for high-quality primary care physicians will be increasing dramatically, leaders of local health care organizations said.
Combined with an aging population, this shortage will place a tremendous stress on the health care system, the organizations said in a news release.
Blue Ridge Community Health Services, Mountain Area Health Education Center, Pardee Hospital and the MAHEC Hendersonville Family Medicine Residency Program are planning to respond to the anticipated need by collaborating to increase the number of newly graduated doctors entering the family medicine residency in Hendersonville.
By using grant dollars made available to MAHEC by the ACA under the "Teaching Health Center" program, the collaboration will not only increase the number of family medicine physicians training locally, but will also increase access for patients who struggle with poverty, a lack of health insurance and other barriers to accessing health care.
Under the Teaching Health Center program, MAHEC will be increasing the number of residents entering its Hendersonville Family Medicine Residency, and the operations of the MAHEC outpatient clinical site, currently operated by Pardee, would be assumed by BRCHS. The plan requires final approval, but is anticipated to be complete by July 1.
According to Dr. Geoffrey Jones, program director of the residency program, current patients shouldn't experience any change in their current patient-physician relationship with the transition to BRCHS, but the goal is for the area to gain new, well-trained physicians for the long term.
"We look forward to enhancing our residency program through this partnership," Jones said. "Patients will continue to see all of the same providers and staff, but under the new banner of BRCHS. We look forward to expanding our residency classes through this funding initiative and retaining even more graduates to stay in the Hendersonville area."
BRCHS is a nonprofit community health center that has been serving Hendersonville and the surrounding communities for 50 years. Services are located at 2579 Chimney Rock Road in Hendersonville, at the corner of U.S. 64 East and Howard Gap Road; in Brevard at 89 Hospital Drive, Suite B; and in four Henderson County schools — Bruce Drysdale and Hillandale elementaries, Apple Valley Middle and North Henderson High.
For more information about BRCHS, call 828-692-4289 ext. 2509; write to BRCHS at P.O. Box 5151, Hendersonville, NC 28793; or visit www.brchs.com or www.facebook.com/BRCHS.
MAHEC is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1974 as part of the statewide North Carolina AHEC System and provides health care as a foundation for training top physicians and health professionals. MAHEC clinicians provide patient care services in locations in Asheville and Hendersonville. For more information, call 828-257-4400 or visit www.mahec.net.
Pardee Hospital is a not-for-profit community hospital founded in 1953 and managed by UNC Health Care. For more information or to find a physician, call 1-866-790-WELL (9355) or visit www.pardeehospital.org.
Health care leaders team up to increase number of local physicians
Western North Carolina has a shortage of more than 100 primary care physicians, and with 30 million more Americans now able to gain access to health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the demand for high-quality primary care physicians will be increasing dramatically, leaders of local health care organizations said.

National Planning Corp. named John C. Johnson president of the independent broker-dealer on Friday. He had been in this role on an interim basis since November 2012.
Before this, Johnson (left) was a senior vice president of NPC and first vice president of National Planning Holding, which includes four IBDs with about 3,540 financial advisors: INVEST Financial, Investment Centers of America, NPC and SII Investments. (NPH is an affiliate of Lansing, Mich.-based Jackson National; both NPH and Jackson are owned by Prudential PLC (PUK) of the United Kingdom.)
"John is uniquely qualified to lead NPC forward, having spent more than a dozen years with the firm in many different capacities, including working directly with our advisors through product support and business development, building relationships with them and servicing their needs," said Jim Livingston, CEO of NPH, in a press release. "He knows the business, the economic environment, and has the experience and vision to be a solid strategic partner to our advisors to help them build, manage and protect their businesses."
Johnson is a fellow of the Life Office Management Association and holds LOMA Associate designations in insurance regulatory compliance and insurance agency administration, according to NPH. He has worked in the financial services industry for more than 25 years and holds FINRA Series 7, 8, 24 and 63 registrations, as well as a California insurance license.
"We have a great team here. I look forward to building on the past success at NPC and setting the direction for the future, working even more closely with all of our stakeholders including advisors, administrative professionals, employees and investors, to help each group reach its goals," said Johnson, who worked for MetLife Investors before NHP, in a statement.
Over the past year, NPC — which had about 1,460 reps as of Sept. 30 — lost a number of advisor groups with as much as $2 billion in assets to rivals, such as LPL Financial (LPLA) and Royal Alliance, which is part of the AIG-owned Life & Retirement Group.

The Chanukah menorah is such a beautiful sight! Every night we add a new flame until we have eight in a straight row. The shamash is also part of the chanukiyah, yet it's not next to all the other flames. It has a unique placement. It's not permitted to be in the same row as the rest, and many chanukiyot are designed with the shamash higher than the rest. Why the special treatment?
To better understand the uniqueness of the shamash, we need to know what the word "shamash" means. The best way to understand what a word means is by looking at the first time the word is mentioned in the Torah. At the covenant between the parts between God and Abraham (Bereshit 15, 12) we read, "Vayehi hashemesh lavo" – and the shemesh was setting. This is the first time the Torah refers to that "Great light to rule by day" (Bereshit 1, 16) – the sun – as the shemesh. How strange! The word shemesh literally means a servant. Why is the Torah referring to the mighty great light that rules by day as a servant?
More importantly, why does the Torah refer to the sun as the shemesh in relation to a covenant that God made with Abraham? Abraham lived in a pagan world that attributed divinity to anything that exerted power over mankind. Abraham's contribution to the world was that he understood that no matter how powerful anything may be – even if it is a "great light" that rules by day, that heats up and illuminates the entire solar system and provides photosynthesis, enabling life on earth – it's still a shemesh, a servant of God.
Abraham understood that everything in the universe has a purpose through its connection to serving God to make the world a place where the Divine presence can reside. Everything has the ability to mirror the kindness of God in this world. Abraham's entire life was a manifestation of being the ultimate human shemesh, as he introduced kindness to the world. When everything in the universe is perceived by mankind as a servant of God's kindness to the world, then the world has achieved its purpose. Disconnecting powerful things from the ultimate source leads to paganism. Abraham succeeded to such an extent that God desired to make an eternal covenant with him and promised him the Land of Israel. This is the best time to introduce to the world what the most powerful force in our universe really is – a shemesh, a servant.
The Chanukah story involves the battle between the pagan forces of Greece and the Jewish belief that everything serves God. The chanukiyah is a symbol of Jewish victory, that God indeed runs the world and can make oil miraculously burn for eight days, hence the eight flames. But those eight flames cannot represent anything if there's nothing to serve them and enable them to illuminate.
The shamash fits that role. There's no mitzvah to light a shamash, but without its dutiful sole existence of serving God to enable the mitzvah to be done, we would have no light at all. Something or someone that focuses on the will of God alone deserves special treatment, and, yes, to even be higher than all the rest.
Rabbi Yossi Michalowicz is spiritual leader of the Westmount Shul in Thornhill, Ont.
