Just over one year after the Bears released their pump-up/promotional video "NO REST," the Bears have dropped a new video. This commercial video is entitled "We Will ROAR" which includes awesome video from some of the best moments of the 75 years of Hershey Bears hockey. Some of the players you might recognize in the video include Mitch Lamoureux, Doug Gibson, Glen Seabrooke, Bob Bilodeau, Bryan Helmer, and many more. I don't think you can watch this video and not be proud of how amazing of an organization we get to follow and watch.

In the past four seasons, Bryan Helmer won two Calder Cups, became the AHL all-time leading scorer amongst defensemen, and played his 1,000th regular-season AHL game. To top it off, he won the 2010-2011 Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award and was named this season's Captain of the Oklahoma City Barons.
The former Bears Captain was nice enough to catch up with Sweetest Hockey on Earth and talk about his experience as a key member of the Hershey team, his many career achievements, and life and hockey in Oklahoma.

Recently, I spoke with Andrew Rodger, writer for The Voice of Sport and friend of the blog. Over the past few years, Andrew has spoken on several occasions with former Bear, Bryan Helmer. I mentioned to him that I thought Helmer was always such a good sport about taking the various ceremonial face-offs, often involving Hershey or ZooAmerica mascots. When I watched them, I couldn't help but laugh and wonder what was going through the heads of the players taking the face-off.
Much to my surprise, Andrew asked Helmer this very question for me and the former captain was only too kind to answer:
"You can tell Kathryn that it's pretty funny when you look up and see that the person dropping the puck is a crazy looking mascot. Then you have to control your laughter and take the picture and then the draw. It's a lot of fun, and a fun part of being the captain. Please pass on a message to Kathryn for me, tell her I say hi and to say hello to all the fans that she knows in Hershey."
So there you have it! An answer and a shout out to Hershey fans! Lucky for Helmer, I know plenty of Hershey fans.

Andrew Gordon celebrates Sheldon Souray's goal against the Norfolk Admirals.
It's officially April. We all know that means it's almost time for playoffs, but first we have to wrap up the final five games of the season. And it would be pretty nice for the Bears to lock up second place in the East Division.
Step one? Take down the Norfolk Admirals.
As far as first periods go, tonight's was a pretty nice one. Well, except for the whole two 5-on-3s. It seemed as if the Bears were only capable of being penalized in pairs. Nevertheless, the penalty kill unit did it's job and held off the Norfolk power play. Despite the penalties and Norfolk leading in shots, the Bears were the ones leading after twenty minutes.
The first goal came from Andrew Gordon. Right after killing the first power play, Gordon had a pretty shot with no one between him and goaltender Dustin Tokarski. Francois Bouchard followed that with a goal of his own. Perhaps not appreciating his recent demotion to the fourth line, he took his assist from Andrew Kozek and didn't miss. Dmitry Orlov also got an assist on that goal.
The second twenty minutes started off just as nice. Sheldon Souray, who returned to the line-up for the first time since getting injured back in mid-March, was making his presence known all night. Early in the second period, he demonstrated his NHL talent as he danced around a Norfolk defender and unleashed the a big shot on Tokarski. 3-0 Bears.
Braden Holtby was called on to make a save on a penalty shot. He was ready but perhaps shooter Stefano Giliati wasn't as his shot appeared to miss the goal. After that, it take Hershey long to get goal #4. After closing in on the Norfolk crease, Mathieu Perreault's shot deflected off on Norfolk's Radko Gudas and past an unsuspecting Tokarski.
Finally fed up, the Admirals responded with a goal of their own. Holtby might have been screened but nevertheless, his shutout bid was gone. For Norfolk, the ninth time was a charm. With Andrew Carroll in the box and the Admirals on their ninth power play, they finally figured out how to work the man advantage and got another goal back to make it 4-2 after two periods.
The third period saw a Hershey power play early on. For once, it was the Bears with the 5-on-3 power play. It took a couple of shots but Keith Aucoin finally put one away to increase Hershey's lead. Bouchard appeared to score again but it was waved off because of a penalty to the Bears. It wouldn't be just one penalty, it would be two. Yes, another 5-on-3. No sweat, Hershey killed it. Again.
However, Souray was sent to the box late in the period and Norfolk did score then. Steve Pinizzotto made sure that it didn't matter though and topped off the game with an empty net goal.
I would like to give a standing ovation to our penalty kill unit. To face thirteen penalties and only allow two goals is phenomenal. I don't think I need to tell you that this would have been an entirely different game if they hadn't played so well. Thanks to them, Bears win 6-3.
In the long run, this game could prove important in helping Hershey mentally. They have had issues battling the Admirals, especially with Tokarski in goal. Tonight they proved that they are capable of big games. I can't imagine Norfolk will make it an easy game when these teams battle again tomorrow.

You can't win 'em all. Although, when you're playing the struggling Rochester Americans, you tend to think you can win it.
It looked like it was going to be really bad at first. By the end of the first period, the Bears were already down 2-0. Rochester scored once on the power play and once even strength to make it look like a rough night for Hershey. It didn't help when the Amerks scored in the beginning of the next period on a rebound shot past Todd Ford.
At the end of this recap, you'll find the lines and pairings, as usual. However, those lines didn't last very long. By the end of the second period, the coaches were already doing some shuffling in order to combat the Amerks early lead.
With the Amerks up 3 goals to none and Boyd Kane going to the penalty box for two minutes, things started looking grim. Thankfully, the Bears refused to give us and started putting some pressure on Rochester, even while down a man. Zach Miskovic unleashed a big shot that Johann Kroll tipped along the way and the Bears ended Tyler Plante's shutout with a short-handed goal. That is Kroll's first goal and point of the season.
Things really got exciting when Jay Beagle brought the Bears within one goal of tying it. He approached the goal at an angle that was rapidly getting tighter and tighter. He had such a quick backhand shot that it was hard to tell he even shot at all until you saw the slow motion replay. Plante was just as fooled and suddenly it was 3-2 Rochester.
It was like the Bears got a second wind. They start skating faster and harder and Rochester responded by matching their pace. The two teams battled it out for the rest of the period but Hershey couldn't complete the comeback. They came very close but had their shots blocked. They even hit iron a couple of times. Amerks win 3-2.
The Bears will be at home for the remainder of the weekend. Make sure you come out and cheer the team back to its winning ways.

What to expect….on First Day mornings
Quaker Worship is consciously acknowledging that we have entered Christ's presence and our appropriate role is that of listening to what Christ may being saying to or even through us.
Just prior to 9:30 worshipers begin to gather in the Meeting Room in stillness that is marked by expectant listening. Please, once worship has begun, enter the Meeting House respectfully and quietly, find your place and join the worship in progress.
At 10:00 the stillness of the Meeting is broken by a reading or music conducive to meditation. This is an opportunity for those who chose to enter or leave as the character of the Meeting changes. There is a return to stillness and open worship. It is anticipated that those led by Christ's spirit will share what is put on their hearts and such messages are intentionally bracketed in stillness. A prepared message is often offered during this time.
Open worship concludes with a Hymn or Chorus followed by the sharing of joys and concerns. Visitors are acknowledged after which announcements are made.
A lively hymn or chorus provides a Benediction opens into a time of fellowship.
An adult discussion class has convened in the Library except on third Sundays. On third Sundays Monthly Meeting for Business will meet followed by a Pot Luck Fellowship Meal.

So You Are Going Blind…
SPOILERS: This has absolutely no funny in it, feel free to skip this.
My computer is an asshole and decided to restart just as I finished writing this post, which is actually probably really good since it was long and sad and had a lot of sappy woe is me stuff and who needs to hear all about that.
It's been 8 months, or longer, since I've written here. Things have been a weird.
I became an accountant, it gives me nightmares. Not cool. I think it makes me less funny. That's probably debatable to all the people who laugh at me.
I started having some problems at work, driving, at home. Went to a doctor and it turns out I am rapidly going blind and there is nothing they can do. So that sucks. A lot.
But I've decided enough is enough and I am tired of being sad. I could still big time use a hug though. A really really big hug.
So as best as I can be, I'm back. I'm not promising anything but I'm sure I have some funny stuff saved up from the last who knows how long.

Arizona lawmaker cancels bulletproof vest demo
Monday - 4/8/2013, 10:49pm EDT
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) -- An Arizona lawmaker invited a bulletproof vest retailer to do a demonstration at the state Capitol but canceled the event on Monday after a legislative lawyer advised him that making a sales pitch to lawmakers on state property was improper.
Freshman Republican Rep. Bob Thorpe called his idea a "rookie mistake" and said he instead plans to provide contact information for the retailer to fellow members of the Arizona House and Senate.
"In the future, before I set something like this up I'll certainly go out and I'll talk to some folks that have been around longer than me and just make sure that I'm not doing something that might look like it was inappropriate," he said.
Thorpe said he wanted to provide Democratic and Republican members safety options in light of the shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011 and the recent fatal shooting of a Texas prosecutor and his wife. He sent the email to all House and Senate members last Thursday inviting them to visit the Capitol basement on Wednesday to be fitted for a vest if they wanted to buy one.
"In the wake of Tucson shooting, I have been researching body armor in order to inform our members about the costs and options for those wishing to purchase a vest for their personal use, for example, at town halls, parades and other public events," the email said.
Thorpe, from Flagstaff in northern Arizona, was criticized by Democratic state Rep. Ruben Gallego, a former Marine who served in the Iraq war.
"We're here to be in the public, and it's not our job to be paranoid all the time thinking that someone is out to get us," Gallego told abc15.com. "I think the best defense is actually to have a good, well-trained police force and some good gun laws."
He later told the AP that lawmakers should be focusing on developing a good school safety plan, and he noted that the body armor demonstration comes as Republican state senators have opposed a bill that bans armor piercing bullets.
"It's just kind of emblematic of the bigger problem that a lot of our representatives on the GOP side have: When we introduce crazy bills, we end up on The Daily Show," he said.
"The last thing we want people to think is that this is one big shooting gallery. It's not, it's a good place to live and raise your kids and retire."
Thorpe said he's not suggesting that lawmakers come to work armed, as some have done in recent years. He just said he believed fellow legislators might feel safer in some situations with body armor.
Thorpe said he understands that some might criticize the move, especially since the Legislature has rejected every effort to tighten gun laws in Arizona in recent years. But he said his view is that mental health issues are behind most violent events, like Giffords' shooting.
"I support people owning guns and doing that lawfully, but we've got some wackos out there," he said.
Thorpe said he's supporting a stalled effort in the state Legislature to appropriate $250,000 to expand a program to train teachers, first-responders and others to recognize people having a mental health crisis and intervene. Giffords' attacker, Jared Lee Loughner, suffered from mental illness.
While rejecting gun control measures, he said he's open to more action on keeping the mentally ill from obtaining guns.
"I'm very interested in trying to pass some piece of legislation which would cause our government officials, whether its teachers or law enforcement, to keep track of people where's there's red flags being raised," he said. "And that certainly didn't happen with Loughner."

Halloween evokes spooky images of ghosts and goblins. These specters may not be visible to the eye, but rumor has it, their eerie presence can be felt.
Similarly, so-called "phantom income" is money that you don't actually pocket, but the IRS still treats those funds as taxable income.
Nobody likes getting a larger than expected tax bill, especially on money they never actually had, but because the money (or "imputed income") shows up on income statements, it's fair game for Uncle Sam.
These situations are not very common, but here are a few examples of phantom income:

When this happens, I search and search for what to make next.
I look through my food magazines. My cookbooks. Other food blogs. On dishfolio. Anywhere and Everywhere. Ugh.
I pester Dustin to think of something and, without fail, find a reason why not to make everything he suggests. As you can imagine, he loves it when I do that.
Eventually, just as I decide there will never ever be another recipe I'm interested in. Ever. I find something!
This time, I found these chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
Tucked away safely in my "Not Yet On Blog" recipe binder was this tasty cookie recipe. Thankfully.
As soon as I saw it, I knew. Even the memory of these delicious, simple cookies brought a smile to my face.
To be honest, I'm not usually a big fan of oatmeal raisin cookies. But, with their crunchy exterior and soft, chewy oatmeal centers, even I can't resist them. I hope you feel the same.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go figure out what to cook next.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Makes 20-24 cookies
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp . ground cinnamon
2 sticks (1/2 lb.) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Using your hands, an electric mixer or a Stand Mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir (or mix on low speed) dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture. Once combined, stir in oats and raisins.
Using two spoons, drop generous 2-tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the cookie sheets, separated by approx. 2 inches. The larger the cookie, the chewier it will be, so try not to make them much smaller.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown. While the edges should be brown, the rest of the cookie should be very light in color so as not to over-bake. Remove from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes prior to transferring to cooling rack.

28 thoughts on "Best Antiperspirant For Excessive Sweating For Men"
Why am I sweating everyday even when I clean myself?
Alright, so I sweat almost everyday. No matter what deodorant I use, I still sweat, and I take a shower every night. It's really embarrassing when I notice I sweat because then soon I get this odor. Does anyone know why this is happening or what else I can do?
Excessive sweating is a terrible vicious cycle. You sweat a little which makes you embarrassed, anxious and tense. Your tension and anxiety then makes you sweat a little more… And so the cycle continues until your clothes are saturated.
Now, think about a time when you didn't sweat so much. Chances are you were in a relaxed state of mind. You were probably alone or with a loved one, away from the social anxiety that your sweating causes. At these times it didn't matter whether you sweated or not. Who would care?
So it is logical to say that the most powerful strategy for how to stop sweating is simply to not care.
When you first start to apply control strategies to manage your excessive sweating it is important to become sensitive to things that reduce your sweating and things that exacerbate your condition.
Important examples are the clothes you wear and antiperspirant products that you apply. You should always experiment to find what works best for you but here are a few tips to get you started:
Choose clothes made from breathable natural fibres. Avoid wearing man-made materials such as nylon directly next to your skin.
Pick clothes in styles that are most comfortable for you. Ignore all advice about what you should wear – just pick items from your wardrobe that work best for you personally.
Choose a good antiperspirant product. Make sure the label says antiperspirant – and not just deodorant. Experiment with different brands and see if any improve your condition.
Try wearing dress shields. In the short term, choose disposable ones and carry a few spares with you.
How do i stop sweating on my hands so much!!!?
I have a bf and we cant even hold hands because of the sweat! It gets gross and all wet and ugh!! I am tired of it so how do i gte rid of it! Help!!!
Sweating is a part of a person's natural body mechanisms and is a way for the body to regulate its internal temperature. There are many ways to control sweating and we have discussed only a few methods in this article. The nerves that control sweating depend upon a chemical transmitter called acetylcholine which is a molecule produced at the very ends of the nerve fibres. Individuals troubled by excessive sweating often do not respond adequately to antiperspirants, and they may not respond to (or be willing to tolerate) systemic medications, electrical treatments on the areas of excessive sweating, permanent destruction of the nerves which control sweating, or surgery (in the armpits) to either scrape away the sweat glands or to cut out the areas of excessive sweating. Drugs taken by mouth, such as phenoxybenzamine and propantheline, sometimes control sweating, and injections of botulinum toxin into the affected area diminish sweating. Botox can be used to control sweating of the underarms, hands, feet, forehead, and other body areas. The most common option used to control sweating is to use an antiperspirant. Modifying your behavior and your psychological environment (at home and at work) to lessen excessive stress will help you control sweating. Meditation:This is the best way to control sweating if not cure it completely. It is hoped that as more is learnt about the systems in the body that control sweating, better ways of controlling it will be found.
The reason why some people sweat more is not yet known, but it is known that sweating is controlled by the Sympathetic Nervous System. Get your nerves under control and you sweating will diminish. Most of the time you don't want to stop your sweating, you want to control it from getting out of hand. TreatmentExcessive sweating can be controlled to some degree with commercial antiperspirants. It seems that gel deodorants (Mitchum/Soft & Dri) are the only productsthat will control the odor for more than one hour (not long enough). While a deodorant masks odors, an anti-perspirant actually reduce andcontrol the perspiration and sweating. Conventional antiperspirants contain ingredients like aluminum chloride and aluminum chlorohydrate to control sweating by plugging up your sweat glands. Check the label; you'd be surprised at how many people think they're using an antiperspirant/deodorant, a product to help stop you from sweating, but are actually using only a deodorant, a product that only helps prevent odor–not control wetness. Botox, the popular injectable wrinkle remedy, also can be used to control sweating; injected into the skin, it temporarily paralyzes the sweat glands in the treated area. If drugs are not effective, a more drastic measure to control severe sweating is surgical cutting of the nerves leading to the sweat glands. Proper hygiene plays an important role in helping you control excessive sweating.
It is acondition that affects both men and women and usually begins duringchildhood or at puberty, but improves spontaneously for many people intheir mid-twenties or early thirties. Profuse sweating that occurs at times other than in hot conditions orafter exercise is usually due to a rare disorder called hyperhidrosis,marked by perspiration produced in abundance by overactive sweat glands. In addition, it may be helpful for you to avoid conditions of excessheat, and stay clear of diets that are too high in sugar, caffeine, andalcohol, because all of these may also contribute to your problem of vaginalsweating.
While only a doctor can prescribe or perform certain hyperhidrosis treatments, there are things you can do to help make excessive sweating less of a burden on your everyday life: Bathe daily to keep the amount of bacteria on your skin in check. Stress is known to enhance sweating and it would help you if you take regular de stressing treatments. Once you have received your treatments from the dermatologist you can purchase the equipment to give yourself treatments at home from that point on. To me it makes sense to start with the easiest thing and work your way up to the harder, more intensive treatments if you don't get results. Frequent treatments are usually necessary tocontrol sweating. Bring the questions and your answers to your next doctors appointment, or use them as evidence of the seriousness of your condition if you need to convince your health insurance plan to cover your treatments. Excessive sweating can be treated by: Simple treatments, such as roll-on antiperspirants (eg driclor); A type of electrolysis (called iontophoresis); Medication, eg beta blockers or probanthine; Injection of botulinum toxin; Surgery (sympathectomy). Simple or medical treatments of excessive sweating might not control the symptoms, or they might induce intolerable side effects. Consultations: Consult a neurosurgeon if sympathectomy is necessary in severe cases of hyperhidrosis that are refractory to all other treatments. The treatments available are still far from perfect but do give hyperhidrosis sufferers an alternative to just putting up with the condition. Non-surgical treatments include medications, botox for palm sweating, anti-persperants, and iontophoresis. A number of different treatments and products are available to help people with severe underarm sweating.
What is a really good antiperspirant?
My doctor refused to perscribe me drysol until I try other antiperspirants. I already tried Secret Clinical Strength, Certain Dri, and Mitchum and they all don't work. What is a really good antiperspirant besides those 4 that is for excessive underarm sweating? Thanks!
I know this sounds gross… but men's antiperspirant works better than women's. My friend told me this once and I thought it was a bit strange, but apparently it works. Try one that doesn't smell too strong.
Good Luck
How do I stop my excessive sweating of the armpits?
I eat healthy, I exercise /am active, I've tried clinical antiperspirants such as drysol and the secret one, but drysol burns and gives me a rash and secret doesn't work. Does anybody have any suggestions? I read that getting botox could help, but I don't really want to do that unless it's a last resort.
You may want to test out a man's deodorant. Try it on a weekend where you won't care if you smell like a man for a little while. Men's deodorant is generally much stronger than women's. If the clinical stuff didn't work the men's still might.
How can I cure my excessive sweating?
I've always been a heavy sweater and it makes dating very embarrassing. I've already tried the doctor, can anyone recommend anything else?
My husband also struggled with excessive sweating that embarrassed him terribly. He dealt with depression and anxiety around wondering whether he smelled bad or not and it also tended to make our intimate times unpleasant. My husband is not the type to see the doctor about something like this, yet it was bothering him so badly that I took it upon myself to find him a solution. After weeks of searching I finally came across the online Stop Sweating program ( http://www.onlinesweatingcure.info ). Their natural methods free from medical surgeries, prescription drugs, and 'miracle antiperspirants' seemed like something my husband could handle so I placed my order.
Within just a few days of getting started my husband's odor diminished, and by the end of the week it was as if I was living with a new man! I hope this works as well for you Jeff as it did for my husband. Best of luck.
Safer way to control underarm sweat?
I've learned that most commercially available "deodorants" can lead to cancer due to dangers of alums in anti-antiperspirant. Then I've been advised that I should just stick to plain deodorant without the anti-antiperspirant. However, it's not so much the B.O. that's bothers me, it's the clamminess caused by excessive sweating. I sweat all seasons at all times; I can easily drench my shirts during summer and wet my clothes beneath the armpits during the winter. It's particularly annoying and uncomfortable during the winter because it gets stuck to your skin, and it's pretty cold at the underarm area when the wind blows through. Is there some way to fix this problem without the use of anti-antiperspirants?
First of all there is no conclusive evidence of antiperspirants causing cancer. Second, the only study done that may show some correlation between anti perspirant and cancer was possibly breast cancer. This study was done on women who shave and use antiperspirant regularly. Men have not had an increase in breast cancer since antiperspirants became prevalent in our everyday life. I'd say use the antiperspirant or carry baking soda with you and use it continually.
Also check out snopes.com and cancer.org for further information on the widespread antiperspirant/cancer correlation you have heard.
How to get rid of fungus and sweaty feet?
I have fungus in my feet don't know how to cure it and my feet is sweating dont knot how to cure it too.
Perspiration has a purpose in humans, its evaporation allows the skin to cool and the body to dissipate heat. Unfortunately, wearing shoes all day stops this evaporation and allows the sweat to stay close to the skin and causing various problems. Sweat is really nutritious to bacteria and if the sweat stays in place long enough on your skin, socks or the linings of your shoes, quite a colony can grow. The byproduct of bacteria and fungi eating your sweat is the offensive odour your housemates hate.
Throw out all your socks made from synthetic material – they are not your friends. Replace them with socks that are 60–70% wool combined with 40-30% synthetic fibre. If you want to aim for the best socks, podiatrists sell socks made from bamboo fibre, which draw sweat away very effectively. You can even get some with silver woven into the material which will inhibit the growth of micro-organisms on the socks and on your skin. They are expensive but effective and can be worth the money, particularly if a foot infection is a danger to you, for example, a diabetic.
Wear clean socks every day. Wash socks on the hottest cycle using Milton's (or similar) nappy wash and dry in the sun.
Change your socks in the middle of the work day if you sweat enough to soak the first pair.
Don't skip wearing socks because the sweat will be soaked up by your shoes which are much harder to clean than socks.
Prime importance is to stop the sweat from soaking into the material of the shoes where it will become rancid. Buy some washable insoles for your shoes, and wash them every day until the problem improves and then weekly after that.
Liners such as odour-eaters are cheap enough to throw away weekly and will go a long way to sorting out the shoes.
You can swab the inside of your shoes with alcohol such as mentholated spirits.
Try to avoid wearing the same shoes two days in a row allow them to dry out well.
Check the soles of your feet for hard, dead skin which becomes waterlogged when sweaty and an ideal environment for bacteria. Remove it with a pumice stone or a trip to the podiatrist..
Wash and soap your feet well at least once per day. Do it twice daily at first if bad. An antibacterial skin preparation can help. Check the chemist for a product intended for acne.
As an alternative, you could soak your feet daily in weak black tea, which contains tannic acid. It is thought to make the sweat glands 'pucker up'. Boil two tea bags in half a litre of water for a quarter hour. Add this to 2 litres of cool tap water and soak your feet for 20–30 minutes. Dry thoroughly and do not put on shoes soon after. Let your feet air to get really dry.
Check in between the toes for white, dead looking skin, rashes or generally smelliness. Fungal infections love places that are warm, damp and dark. Use an anti-fungal preparation from the chemist that is based in either water or oil as it will disperse the wetness more efficiently. Keep it up until the symptoms are completely gone and ten days more. If this is not enough to solve the problem, see a podiatrist.
Use a strong antiperspirant (which is not the same as a deodorant) which contains 20% aluminium chloride. This will be a man strength, sport antiperspirant. Give the feet a good spray prior to putting on shoes and allow a couple of minutes for it to dry.
Drugs. Some medications have been known to cause unusual foot odours. Try everything above first, then consult your podiatrist if there is no improvement.
Teenagers. Yes, its not your imagination, the problem is worse in teenagers! 1) Hormonal changes trigger excessive sweating 2) hygiene may not be his priority. This may change 'naturally' when he gets a girlfriend.
Hyperhidrosis. This is a condition where the feet (and usually the hands too) literally run with sweat output. You will find you can't wear thongs because you slide out of them. You can't lean on shop counters because you leave a big puddle behind. This is a condition where the sympathetic nervous system becomes overactive. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the stuff you don't have to think about like beating the heart, moving food through the gut and, of course, sweating.
Pharmaceutical Interventions. Include anticholinergic drugs which interfere with block the action of the sympathetic nerves. They can be effective but the side effects may be worse than the problem and include: dry mouth, blurred of vision, constipation and sleepiness. Bromide is also sometimes used but has other side effects related to virility.
Surgery can be performed to ablate (burn off) the sympathetic nerve and is called a sympathetectomy. It has been implicated in impairment of other autonomic functions and needs good consideration. You would need to be referred by your doctor to a specialist neurologist
What's the best antiperspirant underarm deodorant?
I've used right guard extreme gel, and it works fantastic! BUT! I always get stains on my shirt from the gel that can never come out. So I switched to Degree For Men, and it's horrible. So what underarm deodorants do you guys recommend.
PS: I Don't care how good it smells, I just want one that would help me stop sweating.
Mitchum is the best. you can go two days with reapplying its so strong. Also if you have excessive sweating you might consider botox injections in the arm pit. It paralyzyez the nerve so it doesnt react and sweat.
Good luck
What's some good armpit deodorant for men, that blocks sweat?
I'm looking for an armpit deodorant for myself that keeps your pits dry. I sweat profusely under my pits, it could be winter and I sweat very easily. I'm sick of having to wear an extra t-shirt under my regular shirt just to hide this fire hydrant. Does anyone know of any good armpit deodorants that keep your pits dry and protect against sweat? I desperately need a new/good one for this coming summer. Thanks!
Try Certain Dri
You should be able to find it locally at a drugstore or at Walmart.
It's prescription strength and works very well. You have to put it on at night, and during the day you can use a regular deodorant just for the smell. In fact, you might not have to use anything at all during the day, that's how good it is….at least for me it was when I had issues with sweating.
How to stop underarm sweating?
How can i stop excessive underarm sweating? i already use Certain Dri, which is an anti-perspirant which i apply sometimes at night. it helps a little, not a lot. the sweating can be really embarrassing, cuz i also get stains on my shirt then. what should i do? thanks. best answer rewarded.
I think wearing cotton cloths works well for those suffering with excessive sweating problems aside that Shaving your armpits more frequently works well and most of all try to use men antiperspirants because i have heard that they work at some extent as well.
How can you stop excessive sweating ?
its really embarrassing when i sweat alot and i mean ALOT.
i normally sweat on my back, under arms, neck, and face.
its really gross and i dont know how to stop it i drink plenty of water and that still doesnt help.
any help please ? is there like medication ? or anything ? thank you !
Been there, done that. My uncle told me about Mon Ray Antiperspirant. I had tried everything else known to man, so I thought "what did I have to loose". But, this product really helped me alot. I use it on my underarms and hands. No sweating. I am talking about someone who changed their shirt twice a day. Look them up. They have a website.
Probable causes of having poor leg circulation and excessive sweating in my groin area?
Both legs have poor circulation and my groin sweats (yes is hot, seems like it has a lot of blood flow).
The sweat in my groin area stinks excessively and seems very sticky!
The groin is one area on the human body that has a preponderance of sweat glands. So to some degree it can be a problem for just about anyone. If you sweat excessively in that area it can be caused by many conditions such as: stress and anxiety, adrenal disorders, diabetes mellitus, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, hypercalcaemic nephropathy, metabolic syndrome ,multiple endocrine neoplasia II (MEN II) – also called Sipple's syndrome, renal tubular acidosis (RTA),hyperparathyroidism and sleep apnea. The only connections between the groin sweating and poor leg circulation could be nerve damage in the lower spine (the so-called "horsetail area" at the end of the spine.where the spinal nerves spread out, or diabetes. I would imagine you have tried all the more obvious treatments, long showers, keeping the area dry with body powders and antiperspirants, wearing light fabric underwear. If none of that works then it is time for a doctor visit for a diagnosis. The doctor may have you try a prescription antiperspirant before any of the more involved techniques are tried.
How to stop excessive sweating and armpit sweat patches?
okay, so i use an antiperspirant called mitchum for men which my mum said would stop the sweating and B.O. it stopped the B.O but not the sweat. I really need help on how to stop sweating. i need help BEFORE TUESDAY as i am going out. i don't want tips on surgery or any antiperspirants etc. i just need some overnight remedy or method to stop the sweat and stop/cover up sweat patches.
Excessive sweating is a common problem that more than 3% of the population faced with. It is not only a cause of embarrassment for the individual, this condition can also create many problems with someone's lifestyle as well.
However there are different ways that can help you to reduce your excessive sweating.
Check these helpful methods to avoid hyperhidrosis:
Keep Away From Sugar
having high sugar level in your blood produces hyper activity and anxiety that can easily produce excessive stress, also meaning excessive sweating.
Avoid Alcohol
Drinking drinks with Alcohol causes the dilatation of blood vessels that result in an increase in body temperature and therefore excessive sweat.
Don't Eat Spicy Foods:
Spicy foods have the same effects as alcohol, it makes the heart pumps more blood and so the body, to regulate itself produces sweat.
Adopt Your Clothing:
Don't over dress, and in summer or any other hot weather don't wear synthetic fibers. Use breathing fabrics like cotton. This will ventilate your body and void any accumulation of sweat.
Avoid Caffeine:
Caffeine is a stimulant that increases your anxiety. Caffeine could be found in coffee and other soda drinks.
Stop Smoking:
Smoking is also a vessel dilator just like alcohol.
Learn Yoga or Meditation:
A common cause for excessive sweating is stress. To avoid or reduce stress you should learn to control it. The best way to control is by learning meditation or yoga techniques. Mastering those can make a huge difference on your life.
good luck
How to stop excessive sweating naturally?
Do u know any way to stop sweating naturally? If you know any products please tell me
I remember the old TV commercials for antiperspirants – the one where they sprayed a tick on a girl's back and then gave her a workout in the desert, leaving the tick dry. http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/news/53016/ADWATCH-Anti-perspirant-agencies-work-sweat/?DCMP=ILC-SEARCH http://www.unilever.co.uk/brands/personalcarebrands/sure.aspx
I never use them myself, but prefer to wear loose pure cotton clothes when sweaty, so the threads can wick out the sweat and also offer enough ventilation for the sweat to do its job properly – to cool you down. You should avoid anything man-made, such as polyester, anywhere sweaty.
If you have sweaty armpit trouble in the gym, maybe you could punch a few holes in your shirt and darn them. Then you can get lots of air to the wet area to dry it out.
I was in the Philippines last Easter. It was so hot and humid, and I had to keep changing my T-shirt, but after a while I acclimatised to the heat and didn't sweat quite so much. I still drank lots of clean fresh water to replace that lost by sweat, which is good for health.

Paul was an Amish man who sold baked goods in my hometown when I was growing up.
He would do odd jobs around town, but what he was best known for was his home made breads, muffins, and cakes.
They were delicious.
Sometimes, after school, we would stop by his stand if we saw him and get some snacks to eat. He used the money to support his wife and six kids.
Then my town got the kind of shock that can only truly come from finding stuff out about Amish men that you buy muffins from.
Paul was not Amish. What he was, however, was wanted in the state of Kentucky.
For 72 rape charges.
I'm currently eating a cookie, a pretty delicious cookie, and it reminded me of the delicious food that Paul the non-Amish-mass-rapist would make. It blows my mind that he isn't real. He wasn't a nice Amish baker, not at all.
I feel as if I can really relate to the kids on Ms. Doubtfire.

Statement: "The first time this image hit the scene was on
an Avalon Ballroom concert poster in 1967, when the Dead were just
another San Francisco rock band. Mouse and Kelley would spend their
days in the back rooms of the San Francisco library digging through
art books. When Kelley saw Edmund J. Sullivan's illustration of
the Skeleton in the Rubaiyat, he said: "This has Grateful Dead
all over it." The band related so well to the poster art that
they then used it for an album cover, and eventually made it their
logo. The Skeleton & Roses is one of the most widely recognized
rock icons ever. Mouse enhanced the drawing in 1989 by adding more
color which he did again in 1998 to produce this version."

town of Sedlec is a suburb of Kutna Hora and is about 800 years
old. The story goes: The ossuary began as a monastery in 1142 in
what was then Bohemia. An abbot had brought in some earth from Jerusalem
and sprinkled it on the monastery's graveyard making it a popular
place to be buried, particularly for the many who died of the plague
during the Middle Ages. In the 14th century a small chapel was built.
In 1870, a Czech woodcarver named, Frantisek Rint decorated the
church with the bones from the cemetery to make room for those who
wanted to be buried there. The bones of 40,000 people were used
to create this fascinating chapel.

Guadalupe Posada is synonymous with the lively Day of the Dead celebrations
in Mexico. Posada's posters and political cartoons depicted members
of every social class as calaveras (mischievous skeletons). The
humor of this device made his scathing political satire more acceptable.
TheCatrina is an upper-class lady of the turn-of-the-century always
depicted in her broad-brimmed hat. She has become a classic in Mexican

two years ago, Juliette and Julian Huxley, old friends of Henry
Moore, gave him an elephant skull. It was a most welcome gift and
he noted with characteristic enthusiasm: "One finds in it all
sorts of qualities that bones generally seem to have, including
some parts thick and solid and other parts almost paper thin. Nature's
sense of strength and structure is one of the marvellous things
that you discover in studying such bones." - Alistair Grant,
from the foreword of "Elephant Skull: Original etchings by
Henry Moore" (Catalogue of the exhibition).

Tracking the Ballot: Week 2
This is week two of a new series examining the 2013 All-Star Ballot. The first piece can be found here. Remember this is not about predicting who will make the All-Star team.
After the first week, there are four changes to the lineups, all in the American League. That's not a huge amount, but I was still surprised to see so many changes. I didn't expect for numbers to fluctuate so much but its still early so even a few good games can really influence averages and such. Second base in the AL looks like the toughest spot to call, and could conceivably change every week from here on out.
Our 2013 All-Star Ballot, the week of May 19th:
American League:
Catcher: Joe Mauer
Right off the bat we get a change. A solid week helped Mauer climb just over Carlos Santana. His average is up to .351 and his OBP jumped more than 30 points this week to .431. Mauer's a better defender than Santana, but has no where near the power. For now, though, its Mauer.
First Base: Chris Davis
Davis continues to hit the ball hard. He added two more home runs (12 total now) and continues to lead the league. Nick Swisher is in the mix and as the Indians heat up he could conceivably go with them.
Second Base: Dustin Pedroia
This continues to be one of the hardest positions to choose. Ian Kinsler had a tough week and just went on the DL, so he is out of the mix for now. In his place, we have Dustin Pedroia just barely edging out Robinson Cano. Cano hit three homers this week, but Pedroia's .341 average and .433 on-base percentage make up for his lack of slugging. He's also playing better defense and has done more damage on the basepaths.
Shortstop: Jhonny Peralta
This change is mostly a result of Jed Lowrie's recent struggles. Though Peralta's .317/.380/.455 line is strong, Lowrie's offense dropped big time across the board this past week. That on top of his poor defense gives Peralta the nod for now.
Third base: Miguel Cabrera
No change here. Cabrera is the best hitter on the planet and may be putting up better numbers than last year's MVP season. In fact he just hit his ninth and 10th home runs of the season as I sit here writing. Cabrera is just too good right now, despite tough competition from Evan Longoria and Manny Machado
Outfield: Mike Trout, Alex Gordon, Vernon Wells
Trout maintained his pace, but Crisp has officially fallen out of the race since getting back from a hamstring injury. He failed to get a hit during his first four games back last week.
Alex Gordon has seen his average and slugging spike this week so he stays in as well.
The newcomer is one of the season's biggest surprises, Vernon Wells. He has 10 homers, played solid defense and has been a big part of the Yankees' early-season success. However, it's not clear how much regular playing time he'll get once Curtis Granderson comes back from his injury.
Designated Hitter: Mark Reynolds
Reynolds is paid to do one thing, and that's hit for power. He continues to do just that, and is leading the AL in homers at 12. Edwin Encarnacion is heating up this year and could get into the mix for this spot sometime soon.
National League:
Catcher: Buster Posey
Posey's power makes him the top catcher in the league. Yadier Molina has the high average and the strong defense, but the reigning NL MVP deserves the starting spot right now. A.J. Ellis has gotten himself into the conversation, but it's hard to imagine him catching up to the NL's two premier talents in Posey and Molina.
First Base: Joey Votto
The fact that Paul Goldschmidt is a legitimate contender to Joey Votto is a testament to how good of a year Goldschmidt is having. But Votto is nevertheless too complete of a ball player. He strikes out less, walks more, hits for a higher average and plays better defense. Goldschmidt does have him beat in the power department, with 12 homers and the NL's highest slugging percentage. But that's not enough to edge Votto.
Second base: Matt Carpenter
Carpenter continues to hold off Chase Utley. Utley hits for more power than him, but Carpenter has a higher average and OBP. He is also a better defender than the aging Utley.
Shortstop: Jean Segura
Troy Tulowitzki has narrowed the gap, but it is still Segura, who added to his numbers this week. He now is hitting .364/.406/.580 with seven homers and 14 steals. Tulo bests Segura in both OBP and slugging, but Segura's gaudy average and damage on the basepaths tops the Rockies shortstop.
Third base: David Wright
It's been a rough start to the year for the Mets, but not for their third baseman. He is putting up his usual strong offensive numbers and has stolen 10 bags. His defense hasn't been great and has always been his achilles heel, but no other NL third baseman is doing much this year.
Outfield: Justin Upton, Carlos Gomez, Shin Soo Choo
Not much change here. Justin Upton still leads the majors in home runs. Carlos Gomez has cooled off a bit, but his numbers are still very strong and he is easily among the three best outfielders in the National League.
Choo keeps his spot as well, and is having a really fantastic year so far. His OBP is the second best in the majors (behind teammate Joey Votto), and his nine home runs give the Reds a serious power threat at the top of the lineup. Choo's not as bad a defender as the numbers say because he is willingly playing out of position. He's not a good defender just not -8.5 runs bad.

An essay on the folklore of Australians in times of war. It is also a comment on how we use popular music as parody vehicles.
'With your drums and guns and guns and drums,
Haroo, Haroo,
With your drums and guns and guns and drums,
Haroo, Haroo,
With your drums and guns and guns and drums,
The enemy nearly slew you, oh, Johhny dear,
You looked so fine. Johnny, I hardly knew you.'
(Recorded from Mrs Rollinson, Brisbane, 1973)
My task as a folklorist is that of a recycling unit! I scour the country collecting the bits and pieces that we recognise as 'folklore' and then, through books, recordings, radio and now the internet, I deliver it back, with or without comment, to the people who rightfully 'own' this heritage or, at least participated in the creative process that gave them their start in life.
As Australia inevitably moves towards a more multi-cultural society it also becomes more important that we understand and appreciate the 'how's, why's and where's' of our folklore for it is through these expressions of our creative memory that we express our fears, frustrations and aspirations. It is also through our folklore heritage that we record and document our social history.
This is not to say that folklore is history for it is clearly not and 'the folk' have shown that they have little regard for accurate accounting of their history - a case of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story! What folklore does offer is the emotional history of our march through the years and all the facts and figures, dates and names are nothing when compared to the often heart-wrenching reminiscences of someone who was there and wished that he or she was not! Listen to a returned soldier repeatedly telling the tales that have been told hundreds of times before and you will discover stories to chill the bone. You will also hear tales of mateship and of heroic deeds carried out as matter of fact for this was the way of the 'Digger' at war.
It also has to take into account that such 'storytelling' is part of a very old traditional process and although the songs and stories are regarded as 'community property' or 'public domain' the storyteller often feels a need to embellish the story 'for the good of the listener'. This is why it is not unusual to find someone telling a story in the first person when he or she was not actually present at the event - in these cases the story or song has usually been so importantly intertwined with their own life that they believe that they were a witness to the event. I rush to say that this is not lying for it appears to be an emotional mechanism that is very much a part of the tradition.
I have long been fascinated by how songs travel and the military songs are an ideal study because of the way military service people travel around moving from one confrontation to the next. It is fairly easy to appreciate that a song could be carried from camp to camp, war zone to war zone by a travelling soldier and just as easy to imagine that the very same soldier could have sung the song in the local bar where airforce or naval servicemen could have heard the song, related to it, and took it with them as they themselves travelled on.
By definition folk songs or traditional songs, and that definitely includes parodies, are those songs passed on by oral transmission as opposed to the printed page. The truth is that no matter what the original songwriter's intentions, the travels and fate of the song depends on how it is influenced by history, politics and cultural situations. I am sure the original writer of 'Tipperary' never dreamed about how many parodies would ride along on the same melody! One can only speculate on why a particular tune can tickle the fancy of so many people. To understand the folklore process one needs to look back in time because in so many ways our entertainment patterns have changed and continue to change.
These stories, court decisions and military despatches were promptly turned into ballads which were printed and sold as 'penny dreadfuls' and, in many cases, were set to popular old tunes indicated on the ballad sheet. Most of the military songs tended to be reports of 'gallant soldiers' and of 'glorious battles' however the printers and ballad writers were not beyond publishing songs about unfair recruiting practices and even songs that criticised particularly harsh military leaders. The 'folk' loved these ballads, especially the more sensational, and many of these songs became firmly entrenched in the tradition and down through the years the stories became more embellished by the contributions of the 'folk'. The style of singing would have been primarily unaccompanied as this was the style of the day and dictated by the reality that most working class families simply could not afford the luxury of a musical instrument. It is also related to the fact that the singing of songs served several purposes - many of the songs were thought of as 'family songs' as they had been passed down through several generations; they had often been localised to mention family and friends; they were educational in as much as many poor families had used the broadsheets as a tool for learning as books were too expensive and lastly, the everyday situations where such songs would have been sung, including taverns and as part of traditional ceremony, would have commanded a song 'at the ready'. At the same time the upper classes were singing a more patriotic type of ballad or song accompanied by the pianoforte.

In late 2005, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) was planning to consolidate its 13 Zurich, Switzerland, offices into new headquarters. The company saw the consolidation as a way to generate efficiencies. One way it would do so was by fitting multiple applications on one smart card. The company did just that in 2006 via a system from LEGIC.
It was a significant technological leap. Until then, the offices had relied mainly on keys, says Corina Gerber, senior facilities manager. Some offices had relatively simple cards containing the user's name and the PWC logo.
In addition to being used for building, elevator, and garage entry, the new cards help facilitate an office timesharing arrangement. With the cards, users rent one of about 100 of the headquarters' temporary workstations. A number of the central office's 1,200 employees work at their clients' sites, but they can use the card to gain access to any of the temporary stations when visiting headquarters.
Employees can also use the card to purchase food from the cafeteria and snack machines. The card can hold credit for about 100 Swiss Francs.
They also grant access to the company's multifunctional devices that can print, scan, make copies, and send faxes. In the system, which PWC calls "Follow & Secure," employees go to an assigned fax/copier/printer/scanner on their floor and insert their card to access print jobs or initiate document scanning. This way employees are near their print jobs and, therefore, less likely to forget them.
The card, which also contains a fingerprint biometric of the cardholder, is used after hours for access to the building.
Initially, some employees seemed hesitant to give their print because of privacy concerns, says Gerber. Some concerns were allayed when PWC communicated that the device uses just five fingerprint points, a far less detailed method than that used for criminal investigations. Now that the system is in place, she says, new employees "just see it as an acceptable part of processing on their first day."
The new system's far more secure than the previous one, she says. One reason is the controllability. "If someone leaves, the badge can be automatically deactivated," notes Gerber.
As an added precaution, PWC's name is not on the cards. Thus, even if a lost or stolen card were found before it was reported and deactivated, a person would not know what it granted access to.
The new system is far more convenient and faster than keys, Gerber adds. The cards use the 13.56 MHz RFID proximity technology, which has stronger encryption than the more common 125 KHz version.
As with Northrop's implementation, Gerber says, one of the biggest challenges was working with vendors and card suppliers on the technology. "In some ways, the only way to find out is while you're working with it," she says.
But lessons were learned, which will help when the company implements the system in other offices elsewhere in Switzerland, Gerber notes, adding: Having the same system across all organizations has become an important goal.

Junkyard Wonders by Patricia Polacco
Trisha has dyslexia and she is placed in Room 206, which many of the kids at school call "the junkyard." She is upset with this as are many other kids in 206. Their teacher decides to take them to a junkyard. She shows them that junk is only junk if you call it that- all the items are actually full of possibilities. Together they take something incredible from the Junkyard and transform it.
The illustrations are Polacco's usual style.
5/5. This book is inspiring! It teaches that it is not what you are given in life, it's what you do with it. The neat thing is that it is about Patricia Polacco herself.
