: Bulimics gain weight?
I must say this one more time. Most bulimics are not skinny. I have had bulimia for a number of years so I know what I am talking about. You will not lose much weight. The only thing you will lose is your good health and self esteem.

Hollywood is usually known for hyperbole, but in the case of fictional firefighting, they're guilty of toning down the fireworks. For instance, as Senior Captain Calvin Mendel explains, while you can actually see flames in "TV fire," all the naked eye can see in a real blaze is putrid black smoke.
And you know those tanker explosions in the movies? A mere spark compared to the real thing. To determine if they're standing a safe distance from a propane tanker in danger of igniting, firefighters use what they call a rule of thumb: They hold out the digit in front of them, and if it doesn't cover the entire scene, they're too close. (The BLEVE, or boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion, from a propane truck can reach 1,000 feet in the air, and a mile in all directions.)
A propane fire simulation is just one of the demonstrations for public viewing at the Houston Fire Festival. In past years the festival was called a fire muster and included opportunities for various departments to show off their skills and equipment by competing with each other. But the event has since evolved into more of a public relations affair, and crowds have grown so large that the festival is moving this year from Milam Street to the department's training academy. There, firefighters will demonstrate their expertise in rappelling (a technique often used to reach stuck express elevators in downtown high-rises), dousing fires and prying open cars with the Jaws of Life.
The Houston Fire Festival
Val Jahnke Fire Training Academy, 8030 Braniff
Saturday, October 13, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 713-524-2526
One demo headed by Mendel will explain the principle of the flashover, a common event that is responsible for killing more firefighters than any other hazard. Once a fire has been burning in a corner for three to four minutes, everything in the room becomes so hot that it spontaneously combusts. This is why it's not wise to run back into a burning house to grab your prized record collection (an act that was already responsible for the deaths of three Houstonians this year).
On the job, Mendel's seen it all. He once responded to the 911 call of a woman who just wanted her venetian blinds adjusted to get rid of the glare on her TV. But he's also seen a woman burn to death right in front of him as he fought to remove the burglar bars from her window. "It's the best job in the world," he says, "but the closest thing to a war you'll experience without actually going to war."

His occupation has found renewed respect from Americans in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Knowing that it took some office workers an hour to descend 80 flights of stairs, it's impossible to fathom the task of the poor souls determined to lug sacks of equipment up that same distance into danger. According to Mendel, going into a burning office building is still the only way to reach the fire. It's either that, or sit back and let it burn. Suddenly, a whole lot of us feel better knowing there are people out there willing to do that.

Silvio Berlusconi: Italy's once-untouchable prime minister
Few Italians have wielded more influence and attracted more notoriety than Silvio Berlusconi, four-time prime minister and billionaire businessman.
For years he successfully brushed off sex scandals and allegations of corruption but it was the effects of Italy's burgeoning eurozone debt crisis in 2011 that finally spelt an end to his time at the top table of politics.
The charismatic showman was replaced by a technocrat and his centre-right party split.
Worse was to come for a man whom many Italians had come to see as untouchable.
He was convicted of tax fraud in 2013 and ejected from the Italian Senate. Because of his age, a four-year jail term became a year of community service at a care home near Milan. Another conviction in 2015 and his political career was finally over.
For years his looks belied his age, with a little help from hair transplants and plastic surgery. However, after a heart attack that his doctor said could have killed him, he has had heart surgery to replace a defective valve.
From crooner to business mogul
Berlusconi, 79, remains one of Italy's richest men. He and his family have built a fortune estimated at $6.6bn (£4.6bn; €6.6bn) by US business magazine Forbes.
Born on 29 September 1936, Berlusconi lived through the war as a child. Like many Milan children, he was evacuated and lived with his mother in a village some distance from the city.
He began his career selling vacuum cleaners and built a reputation as a crooner, first in nightclubs and then on cruise ships.
"I had a repertoire of 150 different songs and I took requests from the audience," he told biographer Alan Friedman.
He graduated in law in 1961 and then set up Edilnord, a construction company, establishing himself as a residential housing developer around his native Milan.
Ten years later he launched a local cable-television outfit - Telemilano - which would grow into Italy's biggest media empire, Mediaset, controlling the country's three largest private TV stations.
His huge Fininvest holding company now has Mediaset, Italy's largest publishing house Mondadori, daily newspaper Il Giornale, AC Milan football club and dozens of other companies under its umbrella.
His children, Marina, Barbara, Pier Silvio, Eleonora and Luigi all take part in the running of his business empire.
Rise and fall of Forza Italia
In 1993, Berlusconi founded his own political party, Forza Italia (Go Italy), named after an Italian football chant.
The following year he became prime minister, heading a coalition with the right-wing National Alliance and Northern League.
Many hoped his business acumen could help revitalise Italy's economy. They longed for a break with the corruption and instability which had marred Italian politics for a decade.
But rivalries between the three coalition leaders, coupled with Berlusconi's indictment for alleged tax fraud by a Milan court, confounded those hopes and led to the collapse of the government seven months later.
He lost the 1996 election to the left-wing Romano Prodi but by 2001 he was back in power, in coalition once more with his former partners.
Having headed the longest-serving Italian government since World War Two, he was again defeated by Mr Prodi in 2006.
He returned to office in 2008 at the helm of a revamped party, renamed the People of Freedom (PDL).
His support drained away in 2011, as the country's borrowing costs rocketed at the height of the eurozone debt crisis, and he resigned after losing his parliamentary majority.
Initially his party supported the technocratic government of Mario Monti and his reform programme.
But in December 2012, his PDL withdrew its backing, forcing an early election.
In February 2013, he showed he had not lost his touch when he closed a huge gap to come within 1% of winning a general election - close enough to play a part in the governing coalition.
But after an uncomfortable period when the PDL backed Enrico Letta's government, the party split and Berlusconi relaunched it under the old name, Forza Italia. Opinion polls now place Forza Italia well behind the other big parties.
Milanese courtroom dramas
Much of Berlusconi's political career ran in tandem with a litany of legal battles. A native of Milan, he frequently complained of being victimised by its legal authorities.
In 2009, he estimated that over 20 years he had made 2,500 court appearances in 106 trials, at a legal cost of €200m.
He denied embezzlement, tax fraud and false accounting, and attempting to bribe a judge. And on numerous occasions he was acquitted, had convictions overturned or watched them expire under a statute of limitations.
But he received a setback when in 2011 the Constitutional Court struck down part of a law granting him and other senior ministers temporary immunity.
From now on it was up to individual trial judges to decide.
By the end of the year he was out of power and in October 2012 he was given four years for tax fraud and barred from public office.
But it was not until 1 August 2013 that Italy's supreme court upheld the verdict. Berlusconi declared his innocence and spoke of a "judicial coup".
Because he was over 75, he did not go to jail but did community service, working four hours a week with elderly dementia patients at a Catholic care home near Milan.
Berlusconi's women and bunga-bunga parties
Berlusconi's struggles in the political arena and the courtroom have been accompanied by a string of lascivious reports about his private life.
He met second wife Veronica Lario after she performed topless in a play.
When he was photographed at the 18th birthday party of aspiring model Noemi Letizia, she decided to divorce him and also accused him of selecting a "shamelessly trashy" list of candidates for the European parliament.
But his reputation was tarnished most by allegations of raunchy "bunga-bunga" parties at his private villa attended by showgirls. The reports culminated in a conviction of paying for sex with an underage prostitute.
In October 2010, it emerged that Silvio Berlusconi had called a police station asking for the release of a 17-year-old girl, Karima "Ruby" El Mahroug.
She was being held for theft and was also said to have attended his "bunga-bunga" parties.
In June 2013 he was found guilty of paying her for sex, and of abuse of power. The case was eventually overturned in 2014.
Berlusconi has always maintained he is "no saint" but firmly denies having ever paid for sex with a woman, saying: "I never understood where the satisfaction is when you're missing the pleasure of conquest."
His turn of phrase has always delighted like-thinkers and horrified critics. In one of his most recent examples, he said his family was so persecuted they felt "like the families of Jews... under Hitler's regime". The remark drew condemnation from Italian Jews.
In December 2009, he was assaulted in a street in Milan - hit in the face with a souvenir of Milan cathedral, by a mentally disturbed man. With a bloodied face and broken teeth, he got out of the car into which he had been bundled by security guards to show his defiance.

Assembly to attempt overrides of Doyle vetoes today
Gov. Jim Doyle says there's no way he'll put education and the SeniorCare drug program in jeopardy even though Republicans say it's possible.
Today (Wednesday), the Assembly will consider overriding three of Doyle's recent vetoes to the bill that balances the state budget.
Those items would have prevented spending cuts for public schools and health care as well as transportation, where Doyle wants to take $100-million and borrow money for new roads instead.
Now, GOP Assembly leaders are touting the prospects of higher property taxes, crumbling roads and a threat to the program that helps seniors pay for their medicines.
Doyle spokesman Lee Sensenbrenner says none of that's true. Still, the governor wants to keep the door open to possible cost-savings for schools and Senior-Care, and he says an override would prevent that.
The gas tax fund raid is a central part of Doyle's plans to close a budget deficit that exceeds a $0.5 billion.
Republicans will need at least 15 Democratic votes for the override, something Minority Leader Jim Kreuser does not think will happen.
If it does, the Senate will take it up.
It's been 23 years since any governor's veto has been overridden.
