TIDBITS® CONSIDERS
DEODORANTS by Janet Spencer
For most of our time on earth, humans walked around stinking. Deodorant is a relatively new invention, and Tidbits tells the story. • To understand antiperspirant, you must first understand sweat. Sweat does not gush out of the pores. It hangs in the opening like a drop of water in a faucet. What finally pulls the sweat out is an electrical charge. A bead of sweat has a negative electrical charge. The surface of the skin has a positive electrical charge. The positively charged skin yanks the negatively charged sweat out of the pores. Enter antiperspirant. Aluminum chloride is the active ingredient, and it has a negative charge. The negatively charged aluminum shoves the sweat back into the body, just like two negative ends of a magnet move each other around. The sweat is reabsorbed by the body and the skin stays dry.

the odor. (Sweat is odorless.) Deodorants contain insecticides and bactericides that wipe out the entire arm pit colony— temporarily, at least. When the anti-microbial agents wear off, the bacteria move in again, journeying from the shirt or other parts of the body. • The reason we have armpit hair is because the hairs act like wicks, moving moisture away from the skin and keeping it dry. Dry skin is healthier than moist skin. However, hair adds plenty of extra surface area for skin bacteria to cling to. Shaving cuts that area down. • Mankind through history has worked to combat body odor. Early Egyptians applied perfumed oils to the armpit, and regularly removed their underarm hair. The Greeks and the Romans followed suit, but until 1888 the only remedy for B.O. was to mask the odor with perfume and spices. • In 1888, a Philadelphia inventor stumbled on the fact that zinc prevents body odor. Zinc, like aluminum, prevents sweat from coming out of the pores, but it was decades before anyone understood why. He invented a zinc-based cream called Mum, patented it, and sold it widely. Bristol-Myers later bought him out, and Mum is still produced today, being marketed mainly in Britain. In 1902, a new antiperspirant called Ever-Dry hit the market; it was the first to use aluminum chloride. It was followed in 1908 by Hush. Unfortunately all of these early brands of antiperspirant were sticky, slow drying, and irritating to the skin. Ever-Dry was so acidic it would eat right through the fabric of a shirt. • In 1916, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association discussed a study that showed a 25 percent solution of aluminum chloride in distilled water would reduce excessive sweating if applied to the underarm every two or three days. However, such a solution tended to cause the skin to burn, sting, and itch because aluminum chloride is corrosive, having a very low pH value. • There was a break-through in 1919 with the unveiling of a brash new antiperspirant called Odo-Ro-No. In ads in newspapers and magazines, Odo-Ro-No proudly declared that it banished “B.O.” B.O., an abbreviation for ‘body odor’, was a scandalous term. Previously, such products had euphemistically claimed that they kept a person “clean, sweet, and dainty” so to admit that people actually sweat— and to further state that sweat smelled bad— made for a shocking advertisement. “Take the Armhole Odor Test!” challenged the ads, hinting at social disasters that might ensue if one failed the test. Sales soared. • A new product called Arrid Cream was introduced Continued on page 7

Cat Q & A
The Buddy Center Needs Your Help
Pet of the Week
Name: SAWYER ID# A643207
Dr. James Olson - The Meow Doc
Feline Friendly Veterinary Care #1 The most popular pet in the American home is the cat. In 2007 pet ownership studies showed that there are 13% more cats than dogs living with families. With all its style, elegance and intelligence the cat has a lower social status than the dog in many households. Sadly this translates into poorer health care for felines. One of the biggest myths about domestic cats is they can take care of themselves and don’t need much medical care. Yes, cats do have 9 lives but without our help many die needlessly. In the last 40 years Veterinary Medicine has effectively doubled the life span of cats by: #1 vaccination – preventing many killing diseases, #2 parasite control – deworming and insect control, #3 bringing the domestic cat indoors – the outdoor lifestyle is dangerous.

In 2011, dogs represented 59% of veterinary visits and cats only 39%. Why? The 2011 Bayer Brakke study showed that feline owners had 3 limiting factors that prevented them from coming to veterinarian. 1. Inadequate understanding of the need for regular preventive health visits other than for vaccination. Wellness visits are the best investment in preventing future costly problems. The remedy: more owner education by veterinary clinics, read books – for example Cats for Dummies and cautiously consult the internet. 2. Resistance to bringing a cat to a clinic because of the distress caused by placing a cat into a carrier and making the trip to the clinic. This factor was reflected dramatically by the fact that 40% of cats had not been to a veterinarian within the past year, compared with only 15% of dogs. The remedy: get a cat friendly carrier (a top loader), have the carrier out in the house so it is perceived by the cat as ordinary, take your cat for car rides to get him used to traveling, and make sure the clinic you choose is a cat friendly clinic that handles cats well. 3. The cost of veterinary care. Since cats hide their illnesses the perception with many owners is that cats need less care. The remedy: establish a monthly health savings account for your pets. Also, pet health insurance and wellness insurance is available to offset large expenses. Many of the plans are an exceptional value and work well.

Topaz is known as an apocalyptic stone because it will be used to form the foundations of the twelve gates to the New Jerusalem, the Holy City of God, heaven itself! (See Revelation 21:20) The Romans dedicated the topaz to Jupiter. This tells us that topaz has been known for well over 2,000 years and is a symbol of beauty and splendor. Mystics believe it can dispel sadness, anger, and nighttime fears. “Believers” think it will warn them of poisions and protect them from sudden death. It is reputed to make men handsome and intelligent, and sterile women fertile and happy. But don’t rely too much on those myths because one of them says that if you throw a topaz into a pot of boiling water that you can dip your hand into it and pull it out unharmed. Topaz is a beautiful stone, but I’m not going to try that! Scott McQueen is the owner of Pinetree Jewelers, Parker’s oldest jewelry store established in 1976. It is located at 11028 S.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta Grill’s Drippings Stain Patio Bricks Q: The patio bricks underneath my grill tend to catch a lot of grease and oil drippings. I clean up after every barbecue, but there are still stains on the brick from the grease. How can I get these up without bleaching out the spots? -- Rick in Savannah, Ga. A: With porous surfaces like brick and concrete, oil stains can set in and be tough to get out. Your instinct to avoid using bleach or another type of acid to clean up the stains (like lemon juice) is right on. These can just make things worse and can discolor some types of paving. Clearing the grease stain may take a few attempts with a number of cleaning agents. Start with the least harmful materials, most of which can be found in your kitchen or garage. First, fill an old coffee mug with warm water, a couple of tablespoons of dish soap and a teaspoon of salt. Grab a clean synthetic scrubber brush (like a dishwashing brush). Scrub the stain with the soapy water and rinse with warm water, repeating a few times and letting the bricks dry out to see the results in between each try. If that doesn’t clear the stain, you can try an oilstain cleaner purchased at your local home-improvement store. Some DIYers recommend applying an engine degreaser and letting it sit for about an hour, but test any cleaning agent or degreaser on an inconspicuous spot first. The sad truth is that it’s unlikely any cleaner, commercial or homemade, will completely clear away the grease stain. More powerful or acidic cleaning agents could damage the brick, so they should be avoided. If the stain is really bad, consider replacing the brick. If it’s not too bad, clean the area as best you can and cover it with a grill mat to prevent further staining. HOME TIP: To prevent your grill’s grease and oil drips from staining your patio or deck surface, place a grill mat underneath, and clean up spills promptly. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com. My new e-book, “101 Best Home Tips,” is available to download on Amazon Kindle! Pick it up it today for just 99 cents.

DEORDORANT (continued): in the 1930s which contained aluminum sulfate instead of aluminum chloride. This was much easier on the skin and the product sold well. The next advancement in deodorant didn’t come along until 1947 when Stoppette Spray Deodorant became the first deodorant that could be applied without the fingers having to contact the solution. It came in a spritzing squeeze tube. In 1952, BristolMyers (producers of Mum) came out with the first roll-on, invented by a company researcher named Helen Barnett Diserens who was inspired by the newly invented ballpoint pen. They named the product Ban, and it is still one of the top selling deodorants today. • While scientists were trying to figure out how to get a man to the moon, the Gillette corporation was trying to figure out how to get deodorant into a can. It was a tough problem because the spray nozzle kept corroding or the deodorant would crystallize inside the can. In 1965 they got the formula right and introduced Right Guard. • Right Guard used zirconium salts instead of aluminum salts. Although it was less irritating to the skin, it acted as a deodorant but not as an antiperspirant. Five years later, Arrid Extra Dry provided both an antiperspirant and an anti-microbial deodorant in an aerosol spray. It sold so well that use of roll-ons and creams diminished, and by the mid1970s the vast majority of deodorants used in the U.S. were aerosols. Then problems with the ozone layer surfaced. The aerosol market plummeted, to be replaced by today’s infinite variety of pump sprays, sticks, and gels. • The FDA classifies deodorants as cosmetics. However, antiperspirants are classified as drugs. Why the difference? Because antiperspirants technically alter the natural functions of your body. • Aluminum chloride discolors clothing and is famous for turning T-shirts yellow. Blame the antiperspirant for the armpit stains, not your sweat.

• When rock star Kurt Cobain wrote the lyrics for Nirvana’s breakout song “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” he didn’t know Teen Spirit was actually the name a popular deodorant brand. The Mennen Company, which produced the deodorant, wouldn’t say whether the song caused sales to spike, but six months after the single debuted, Colgate bought the company for $670 million.
Something new is brewing in Parker Have you been to the newest micro brewpub right here in Parker? If not you are missing out on award winning recipes developed by head brewer and Parker resident Tom Bell. On July first Tom and Marcia Bell officially opened the doors to Elk Mountain Brewing. Before opening the Brewery, Tom was working for Douglas County. When asked why he decided to make the switch he responded, “I wanted a job I love to do.” Tom enjoys the business of making beer very much. He has been brewing for over twenty years and has taken home two gold medals in national competitions. The name Elk Mountain comes from the mountain he has had luck hunting on and many of the elk horns adorning the brewery are a testament to his luck. The brewery features eight varieties of handcrafted beers made on site. Including Ghost Town Brown, Summer Blonde, Puma IPA and Oatmeal Stout just to name a few. In the expansive tasting room customers can play pool, watch their favorite teams compete on one of the four flat screen TVs, relax out on the patio ,enjoy free popcorn or bring/order in food of their choice all while sipping on incredible craft beer. Elk Mountain Brewing also features a great tasting root beer and has various board games for families to enjoy. Tours are also available to the public. The brewery itself is located at 18921 Plaza Drive (close to Parker Field House) and is open Monday through Thursday 3-9pm, Friday and Saturday noon- 11pm and Sunday noon-9. Elk Mountain Brewing sells beer by the glass. You can also take beer out in kegs, growlers and bring the growlers back for refills. Tom and Marcia Bell are planning many exciting events at the Brewery the first being the official grand opening party on Saturday August 21st. There will be free BBQ from noon to 4pm, tours of the brewery and great prize giveaways. Elk Mountain Brewing will also host a women’s only club for those wanting to learn more about craft beer and how diverse the styles really are. This club will also feature beer parings with cheese, chocolate and other food delicacies. Meetings are the third Tuesday of every month starting on September 21st at 7pm.

Q: Does Gum Disease Cause Heart Attacks? A: Yes…….and strokes, low birth weight babies. Recent research proves a definite link between gum disease, heart disease, stroke, and pre-term low birth weight babies. Good oral health is more than just having an attractive smile; it can have a definite relationship to your overall health, lifestyle, and longevity. The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) reports that more than 90 percent of all systemic diseases can be manifest in abnormal oral health. Q: How do I know if I have Gum Disease? A: Warning signs of gum disease include: • Stinky breath • Puffy, red, sore gums that may bleed when brushing or flossing • Loose teeth • Changes in the way the bite fits or feels • Receding gums exposing the root surfaces Q: Is gum disease contagious? A: Yes! The bad bugs (“bacteria”) that cause gum disease are readily passed from one person to another. (Be sure to “think before you kiss”!) Gum disease (Periodontal Disease) is an infection in the gums and bone supporting the teeth, caused by specific bacteria. These bacteria organize into a sticky, creamy, stinky substance (paque) that sticks tenaciously around the teeth and gums. Gum disease can advance for years without detection or pain. Damage to the supporting bone is irreversible. The best cure is prevention before it happens or stopping gum disease in its tracks before major damage and tooth loss occur, and before you pass it to your “significant other”. See your dentist and dental hygienist and be sure to ask those important questions above – or call our office for a FREE Periodontal check-up and exam.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

¥ It was nationally syndicated newspaper columnist L.M. Boyd who made the following sage observation: “Anyone who eats three meals a day should understand why cookbooks outsell sex books three to one.” ¥ The game of Chinese checkers did not come from China; it was invented in Great Britain in the 19th century. The game’s original name was Halma. ¥ We usually think of Spain as a warm country, so it might surprise you to learn that the nation has 13 glaciers.
¥ If you’re a dog lover, you might have used your beloved pet as a foot warmer from time to time. This is by no means a modern practice; the Aztecs were fond of a certain breed of small, hairless dogs to accomplish the task. ¥ Despite popular opinion, the dictator Napoleon was not particularly short. He measured 5 feet, 6 inches tall, which was the average height for a Frenchman at that time.

¥ Doubtless you’ve heard of India’s Taj Mahal, but did you know that there is a tourist attraction in America that is so grand, it is popularly known as the Taj Mahal of the West? In 1968, a group of Hare Krishnas founded the New Vrindaban Community near Wheeling, W.Va. Though they began on 100 acres with no electricity or running water, the community now covers more than 1,200 acres and features Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold, an ornate edifice of gold, marble and hand-carved teakwood. The award-winning rose garden alone is said to be worth a trip.

the country plant trees. Of course, trees provide us with many benefits, including beauty, fruit and oxygen, as well as protection against land erosion. But the act of planting and nurturing trees can also guide our behavior in other areas of life — such as investing. First of all, consider the vision and patience exhibited by tree growers when they plant their saplings. As an investor, you, too, need this type of perseverance and long-term outlook. When you invest, you should be focused on the long term yet be prepared for the inevitable short-term market downturns. How long is “long term”? Many investors hold quality investments for decades. It’s a long process, but the potential growth you seek will need this time.
What else can you, as an investor, learn from tree planters? For one thing, be aware of how they keep their orchards healthy. By providing proper irrigation and disease-prevention measures, they help their trees stay on the long path toward maturity. Similarly, you need to nurture your investment portfolio by continually providing it with the financial resources it needs to stay “healthy.” During periods of market volatility, it can be tempting to take a “time out” from investing — but if you do, you’ll miss out on the potential growth opportunities that may follow. Since no one can really predict the beginnings and endings of either “up” or “down” markets, you’re better off by staying invested. Also, just as horticulturalists take steps to keep their trees from being subject to disease, you can keep your portfolio in good shape by periodically “pruning” it of investments that no longer meet your needs. Here’s something else that tree planters can teach us: diversification. Consider an orchard that contains several different fruit trees; its commercial benefits may be greater than a comparable orchard that only grows apples. Plus, the presence of a variety of trees can prove beneficial if disease strikes one type. In some areas of the country, for example, Dutch Elm Disease wiped out thousands of trees, leaving entire streets treeless. If some other species had also been planted, these streets would still have had the benefits provided by mature trees, even if the elms were gone. As an investor, you don’t want to own just one type of financial asset, such as growth stocks, because if a downturn hits this segment, your entire portfolio could take a big hit. A better strategy would be to populate your “financial orchard” with a variety of investments — such as stocks, bonds and government securities — that are suitable for your situation. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) As an investor, you can learn some lessons from Arbor Day that could prove “tree-mendously” helpful to you as you chart your course for the future — and you won’t even have to “go out on a limb” to put these strategies in place.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was enacted to protect consumers from harassment by debt collectors. The FDCPA applies only to consumer debts. A consumer debt is any obligation to pay money for a transaction that was primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Business debts are not covered under the law. The FDCPA also does not apply to original creditors or lenders collecting their own debts. There is an exception. If an original creditor uses an assumed name or pretends to be a debt collector to collect their own debt, they have to comply with the FDCPA. The FDCPA contains some fairly complicated rules governing collection of consumer debt. A debt collector cannot threaten to take any action that is illegal or which the collector does not actually intend to take. A debt collector cannot attempt to collect any amount not authorized by agreement or not otherwise allowed under the law. The FDCPA also limits communications that a debt collector may have regarding the debt. This article is a brief overview of the provisions of the FDCPA. The law is complex and there may be specific sections that apply to your business. Please consult with your attorney before attempting to contact customers for collection purposes. For more information about the FDCPA please attend our free collections seminar on April 24, 2013 at 5:30 pm. Seating is limited so please RSVP to rsvp@fourthstreetlaw.com. Debt collection is an important aspect of business law. Businesses that are not paid for their products or services are not in business for very long. That’s why it’s important to have a legal resource for persuading customers to pay their bills. At Fourth Street Law, LLC, we provide these services to many types of businesses. Whatever business you are in, we welcome your inquiries about collecting what is due to you. How can we help? For more information, please call (303) 388-2787 or e-mail Stephen@ fourthstreetlaw.com.

¥ On May 8, 1884, Harry S Truman is born in Lamar, Mo. Upon President Franklin Roosevelt’s death in 1945, Truman became the 33rd president of the United States. After four months in office, Truman authorized the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, believing it ultimately saved American and Japanese lives by forcing Japan to surrender. ¥ On May 12, 1932, the body of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh’s baby is found more than two months after he was kidnapped from his family’s New Jersey mansion. After numerous ransom notes, the baby was found less than a mile from the home. He had been killed the night of the kidnapping. ¥ On May 11, 1947, the B.F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, announces it has developed a tubeless tire. The disadvantage of the old inner tube design was that if the inner tube failed, the tire would blow out immediately, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. ¥ On May 6, 1954, in Oxford, England, 25-yearold medical student Roger Bannister cracks the four-minute mile. Bannister won the mile race with a time of 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. ¥ On May 7, 1960, Leonid Brezhnev, one of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s most trusted proteges, is selected as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet -- the Soviet equivalent to the presidency. Brezhnev took control of the USSR in 1964 when Khrushchev was removed from power. ¥ On May 9, 1971, the last original episode of the sitcom “The Honeymooners,” starring Jackie Gleason, airs. Despite its brief life as a traditional sitcom, “The Honeymooners” remains one of the most memorable TV comedies of all time, rivaled only by “I Love Lucy.” ¥ On May 10, 1994, in South Africa, Nelson Mandela is sworn in as the first black president of South Africa. In his inaugural address, Mandela, who spent 27 years of his life as a political prisoner of the South African government, declared that “the time for the healing of the wounds has come.” (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, ‘What’s on TV?’ I said, ‘Dust.’ And then the fight started... ***************************************** My wife and I are watching “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, “Do you want to make love?” “No,” she answered. I then said, “Is that your final answer?” She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying, “Yes.” So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.” And then the fight started.... ***************************************** Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, “The weather out there is terrible.” My loving wife of 10 years replied, “Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?” And that’s how the fight started... ***************************************** I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn’t believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, “I AM NOT HAPPY!!!” So, I looked down at him and said, “Well, then which one are you?” And then the fight started..... ***************************************** My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’ I bought her a scale. And then the fight started... ***************************************** After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she processed my Social Security application When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.’ And then the fight started.... ***************************************** *
