Why this name?

The name was given to me and it fits with my style. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry? It gives independent artist a chance to compete and make it on their own. Would you still sign a record contract with a major label? If they came with seven digits. Band History: Grew up on the North Side of Chicago, we call it "Da North Pole" or "Da Pole". Been trying to rap for a long time and I'm finally just getting started. So watch out. Your influences? The greatest of them all 2PAC. Also, Eminem, Kanye West, Nas, DMX, 50 Cent, BTNH and most of Chicago Rappers. Favorite spot?

COLLOIDAL SILVER
an ANTIINFLAMMATORY and IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE AGENT?
It appears that few have recognized an important mode of action of Colloidal Silver and possible its major benefit:
Supression of Immune Responses!
Colloidal Silver has for decades been classed as an antibacterial, antifungal and antivirual agent. The popular theory is that its taking of an electron (the positively charged ionic form is missing an electron) from the surface of the pathogen either ruptures it or inhibits its ability to use oxygen. (The later is of course valid only for an aerobic bacteria!) The truly amazing results it has given with many conditions often go's beyond antibiotic actions! The basis of colloidal silvers immunosupressive and antiinflammatory action appears sound, based both on its excellent effeciency on skin burns (severe physical tissue damage) and on poison ivy, oak and sumac (immune system induced tissue damage)! There are also numberous references on the web of its effeciency against fire ants,bee stings, spider bites and the autoimmune diseases like AIDS and MS. I have often mentioned my personal amazement in its ability to suppress both pain and blistering responses when I have burned my skin with a 350+ degree soldering iron. A burn, causing both smoke and the smell of burning flesh, becomes trivial if I apply Colloidal Silver within a minute! Clearly, its absorption gives a signal to the immune system, to supress the normal protective actions of producing pain and an insulating blister! As would be expected, there is skin damage, but it is limited to a white dry spot, where the skin oils and some tissue were literally vaporized.

Rhus radicans Everyone who spends any time in woods or fields should be sure that they are able to spot Poison Ivy, but Poison Ivy can actually be rather difficult to recognize. The plant is vastly different in the Spring and the Fall; in the Spring it can be rather pretty, and has red stems, but by Fall the leaves have become coarse and dull, and its mature stems will be covered with hairy rootlets. This vine has small white clusters of flowers in May, June, and July, and clustered, white, berry-like fruit in August.

Poison Ivy Toxicodendron radicans Poison Ivy is one of the best-known, and probably the most-hated, plant in Virginia. Because most people are allergic to its sap , Poison Ivy can cause a nasty rash and blisters on the skin. Poison Ivy is most easily recognized by it's leaf pattern. Although it's color varies with the seasons, it always has clusters of three leaves Some leaves are smooth-edged and some are notched. Some are shiny, and some are dull. In the Spring, leaves start out shiny and red. This may help keep insects away. In the Summer, leaves are usually green. In the Fall, leaves change colors with the trees. They can turn yellow, orange, and red before they drop off. www.poison-ivy.org Virginia Ducey, Institute for Systematic Botany ,Department of Biology, University of South Florida Dan Tenaglia Poison Ivy can grow in just about any environment.

Poison Ivy Dermatitis "leaves of three, let it be" Revised 6/25/99
by Charles H. Booras, MD
Summer is here and it's time to spend some quality time outside. Whether you are hiking or working in your garden, you are always at risk for getting poison ivy. There are three types of plants in the Toxicodendron species family that cause the same itchy red rash. They are... To see some pictures...
click on the plant name See also jewelweed (used for on-the-trail treatment) Together, they produce more cases of " allergic contact dermatitis " than all other allergens combined. Poison Ivy is by far the most common cause of this allergic skin reaction. The entire plant, except the pollen, is toxic throughout the year, even during the winter months when the branches and stems are leafless. Contact dermatitis simply means that something has been applied to the skin which has caused the skin to react to it. An initial exposure is necessary to "sensitize" the patient; In other words, you get "one free pass". A subsequent exposure will result in an allergic reaction if the plant oil remains in contact with the skin for as little as 10 to 15 miniutes. The resulting rash begins after a 12 to 48 hour delay and persists for about two weeks up to four weeks or longer. The resulting rash can range from mildly unpleasant to a true emergency with intense swelling, blistering, and oozing. With even a moderate case the itching can seem unbearable.

Poison Ivy Dermatitis
"Leaves of three - let it be!" aptly describes this woody vine with 2-4" leaflets in groups of three. The center leaf has a longer stem than the other two. Poison ivy clings to tree trunks and other vertical surfaces with hair-like aerial rootlets that grow out of the stem. If a climbing surface isn't available, poison ivy will grow as a free standing shrub. The leaves of poison ivy turn shades of red and purple in fall.
Poison ivy is caused by an allergic reaction ( allergic contact dermatitis ) to the oily coating that covers of these plants. The resinous coating is called "urushiol". These are called Rhus plants after the old scientific name (it was changed to toxidendron). A person doesn't have to come in direct contact with the leaves, roots, or branches of Rhus plants to get the rash. One can get it from contaminated clothing. Even in winter the leafless stems and vines can cause the familiar skin rash.
No one is born with sensitivity to Poison ivy, but if exposed enough most people become sensitized at some time and remain allergic. A sensitivity can change at any time. There's no way to desensitize people allergic to Rhus plants. Dogs and other animals are not affected by poison ivy, but people can get the rash by petting a dog that's been exposed.
The rash itself is not contagious, and the fluid in the blisters does not spread the rash. Poison ivy dermatitis appears as soon as four hours or as long as 10 days after the exposure, depending on individual sensitivity and the amount exposure. As the rash appears, any sensitivity a person had begins to increase. One starts to react to the slightest traces of a few molecules on the skin. This causes the rash to appear to be spreading, even after treatment has begun.

T he first published records of poison ivy in North America date back to the early 1600s in the writings of Captain John Smith. In fact, Captain Smith included an illustration of the plant and originated the common name because of its superficial resemblance to English ivy ( Hedera helix ) or Boston ivy ( Parthenocissus tricuspidata ). The name ivy or "hiedra" was also used by early Mexican settlers in California who mistakenly thought poison oak was a kind of ivy. A little-known subspecies of poison ivy, T. radicans

Toxicodendron radicans
DESCRIPTION: Poison ivy can occur as a vineeither climbing the trunks of tree species or growing along the groundor supporting itself as an upright shrub. Its glossy compound leaves are variable; their array of three leaflets is often toothed or lobed, although the borders of the leaflets can also be unbroken. The arrangement of the leaflets is indicative of poison ivy: the middle leaflet extends from a long petiole, the base of which is flanked by the lateral leaflets. The foliage often hides a woody stem and flowers. The flowers bloom from the leafless lateral branches in clusters of up to 25 flowers, and give way to yellowish-white berries in the fall. Aerial roots are usually associated with poison ivy. The multiple roots cling to trees summer and winter, making identification of the dormant plant possible. DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT: Found mainly in the eastern half of the United States, poison ivy is common in open woodlands, preferring trees in disturbed habitats. The plant grows unsupported in open sites as well. It also grows well in river bottom forests. LIFE HISTORY AND EFFECTS OF INVASION: Poison ivy blooms from early to mid-summer, its bunches of small, off-white flowers opening under the vine's dense blanket of foliage sometime between May and July. In midsummer, the flowers give way to small clusters of berries.

Webmaster's Note: I've added this page to the 1 st very common throughout Oklahoma
. As an active fisherman and hiker since I was a kid, I've always known what Poison Ivy looks likes in almost any form. I am, however, I'm constantly amazed at how most people I've ever met know very well to "avoid" Poison Ivy but don't have the slightest idea how to recognize it!
While I've never had a reaction to Poison Ivy despite unintentional contacts over the years, I avoid it whenever possible since apparent "immunity" can be lost through repeated contact. Since several friends over the years have had severe reactions (lasting weeks and even months) from an apparent first-contact, I try point it out to others whenever I see it in yards, parks, or in the woods.
Poison Ivy even grows here and there throughout the OU campus, (without permission of the Landscape Department) usually adjacent to individual trees, or in peripheral areas such as Brandt Park and other wooded locations. The following information is from my own experience and from articles I've read over the years. -Richard Hamilton, OUPD Webmaster

Did You Know? Scratching poison ivy blisters will not spread the rash. In addition, the poison ivy rash is not contagious only urushiol (oil found in the sap of poison ivy) can cause a reaction. What is poison ivy?
Poison ivy is a type of Native American plant which causes an allergic skin reaction in almost 85 percent of people exposed to the plant. Two other plants, poison oak and poison sumac, are also often called poison ivy and have the same allergic effect. What causes the allergic reaction?
The resin in the plants contains an oily substance called urushiol. Urushiol is easily transferred from the plants to other objects, including tools and animals. This chemical can remain active for more than a year. When a person touches this substance, either directly or indirectly, a reaction often occurs. In addition, when poison ivy is burned, the airborne urushiol particles may come in contact with your skin. What are the symptoms of poison ivy?

Vinegar for Poison Ivy More Lawns Solutions by Annie Berthold-Bond Care2.com Producer, Green Living Channels The land around our home is overrun with poison ivy. It is everywhere; a vine has even wrapped abundantly around the tree that holds the end of the clothesline so we can't fix the rope pulley that is broken there. After a few years of passively accepting that I can't hang clothes on the line, or that various family members get terrible rashes every summer, I've decided to do something about the scourge. I won't ever use herbicides out of concern for health and the environment, so I've been trying out various "down home" remedies. This one really works.

Here is the homemade poison ivy vegetation killer spray that I've found is safe and effective: Poison Ivy Vegetation Killer
1 cup salt
8 drops liquid detergent
1 gallon vinegar Combine the salt and vinegar in a pan and heat to dissolve the salt. Cool the vinegar, add the detergent, and pour some of the liquid into a large spray bottle. Spray the vegetation. (You can also just pour the mixture onto the weeds.) Refill the spray bottle as necessary. Note that this formula will kill all the vegetation, so make sure that you are only spraying the plants you want to kill. If you need to use a lot of this spray, avoid spraying it near wells, as the salt can leach into your water supply.

GENERAL: Most of us have had a run-in with poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac or know someone who has. Up to 80% of persons who contact poison ivy are sensitized to it, have a reaction of some type; symptoms usually appear within 24-48 hours after contact. The other 20% may only need additional contacts to become sensitized; eventhough, it may not bother them now. Humans are the primary animal that react to the chemical, urushiol (you-roo-she-all), most other animals are not affected. That is why birds, bears, dogs, etc. can wander through and even feed on the berries with no apparent harm. Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac belong to the cashew family, Anacardiaceae.
