"We have reordered this card 3 or 4 times. I gave it to my husband as a Christmas stocking gift and he LOVED it. Now he wants only this card and keeps asking me to reorder. We purchase 250 at a time so imagine how many he has already given out. We do it in grey with his name in a wine color. Very masculine."
"I have received so many compliments on this business card. I've just opened a children's music studio. Just by switching the font up, this card easily conveys both the fact that I'm a kid friendly business and a nice aesthetic. Excellent customer service at proof check, and I'm in California, so really fast shipping."
"The "Hello Intro" square cards by Petite Alma were exactly what I needed. We're not ready for a full-on branding so a little intro was all I was prepared to offer. The paper is stellar and the speed at which we received the product was incredible."
"I really loved this design for my business cards. It was very unique and that is what I was looking for. It stands out in the business card crowd. Received many compliments."
"I wanted something slightly out of the ordinary and that is what I got! The square card is unique and stands out from other business cards, but the card stock is still heavy like a traditional card. The design is simple draws attention. I was able to customize it easily by adding in notes that the designers at Tiny Prints used to create a variation of the original template. When I hand my card to someone, I get positive feedback about the design, colors, and shape of the card."

I got started on my latest check last week when I received a press release from an operator of Catholic tours touting a "pilgrimage to Paris" for a highlighted figure of $1,199 per person. Sure enough, the fine print said "add $146 Departure Taxes, $420 Fuel Surcharges and $189 for Optional Travel Insurance." Now, adding the departure taxes separately still conforms to DOT rules -- at least for another two weeks -- and the insurance is carefully labeled "optional," but reducing the real airfare by that $420 "surcharge" violates the rules.

After examining this release, I checked a dozen other niche tour operators, and found two more of them presenting airfares the same way: a preposterously low base fare plus a hefty fuel surcharge. One operator specialized in tours of Israel for Jewish travelers, the other in travel to Russia. The Russian tour site was especially flagrant: It featured "Special winter fares" as low as $199 to Moscow, St. Petersburg, or Vilnius, specifying "fuel charges ... not included" but without even stating how much the surcharges were. Most of the other agencies I checked avoided the problem by featuring land-only prices and asking potential travelers to contact the operator for airfare options.
I found three bad actors out of a dozen checks, so I have no idea of how many total niche operators are also using the fuel surcharge scam. Presumably, quite a few.
My checks also raised the question of whether continuing to use the fuel surcharge scam is particularly prevalent among operators of religious tours. This may be a gambit based on an assumption that folks interested in religious tourism are more likely to fall for a religious operators' claim: "After all," potential customers might think, "How could an organization that works with priests, ministers, and rabbis possibly be running a scam?"
Lest you think tour operators aren't the only organizations continuing to use the fuel surcharge scam, I note several other places:
-- On foreign-based airlines, "free" companion tickets typically require that the companion pay a fuel surcharge. On a program like the AmEx Platinum Card business-class companion ticket deal, that charge could well hit the "free" ticket with an added $1,000 to $2,000.
-- Also, most foreign lines add the fuel surcharge on "free" frequent flyer award tickets when you use mileage in their own programs, although generally not when you use mileage in their U.S. partner lines' programs. Go figure.
-- And I've noted a few cases where foreign lines say that discounts such as those for children are based on the phony base fare, not the surcharge. Presumably, then, on that $520 Paris fare, instead of paying the normal 10 percent ($52) an infant would instead actually pay $430 (10 percent of $100 plus the full surcharge).
I hope that, before too long, the enforcement folks at the DOT will get around to dealing with these outfits. Meanwhile, always stay vigilant for a fuel surcharge scam -- it just doesn't seem to die.

This week, "Bachelor" Sean Lowe took the final three women on overnight dates in Thailand. Blond Sean was like Goldilocks, choosing between the three women. One was too simple, one was too complicated, and another was just right.
Lindsay Yenter: Too Simple
Lindsay comes across as very young, not age-wise, but more that she comes across as very inexperienced. She doesn't seem to have a lot of intellectual or emotional depth.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of substance to her relationship with Sean either. Every time I see them together, I feel like he's just going through the motions, falling back on standard franchise cliches such as "amazing," "incredible woman," and "she has all the qualities I am looking for in a wife" because he has nothing else to say.
Instead of "paint by numbers," their relationship feels like "date by numbers." All the individual elements are there. They have their romantic moments, their playful moments (feeding chimps and eating bugs). They talk about wanting to "settle down," "have a family," how they "share the same values" and "want the same things out of life."
But it all seems so formulaic and scripted, like he could be doing and saying the same things with anyone who just happens to be a good paper match.
This week, Lindsay told Sean that she loved him. This was supposed to be a climactic moment in their date, but it seemed to fall flat. When he kissed her afterwards, we could see that there was no chemistry. He was giving her pecks instead of real kisses.
AshLee Frazier: Too Complicated
While Lindsay is "too simple," AshLee is too complicated. I'm not surprised that Sean sent her home this week. She has way too much emotional baggage!
Difficult life experiences do not make you "broken." What's more important is how you respond and grow from these experiences. Being abandoned by her birth parents, or getting married at 17 does not make her "damaged goods." However, the way she incessantly obsesses over her "abandonment issues," "trust issues," and "control issues" sabotages her chances of having a healthy relationship.
For me, the biggest red flag was when she said that "before Sean, I had a broken spirit." It's one thing to want a relationship. It's another thing to need it in order to fix you or to complete you. There's a difference between wanting a boyfriend or husband vs. wanting a savior.
You can't stake your entire happiness on one person. You can't look for something or someone outside yourself to heal your "broken spirit." You have to find it within.
This is why people in relationships tend to get hit on more. They're not giving off the needy or desperate vibe, so they come across as more attractive.
My advice to AshLee: find a way to be happy and whole, regardless of your relationship status. When that happens, the rest will just fall into place naturally.
Catherine Giudici: Just Right
While I'm not sure whether or not she and Sean would make it in the long term, I think she has the healthiest perspective about the situation.
Of the three women, she seems to have the most believable relationship with Sean. He says that she "gets me better than anyone else." And she can actually "be herself" around him, instead of trying to force it. That right there is the sign of a healthy relationship.
Catherine also has the right balance between genuinely wanting to give it a shot, but also having a life outside her relationship. She wants the love, marriage, and family, but she also has her own career goals and ambitions.
I get the sense that although she really cares for Sean, she doesn't let her relationship status define her. I get the feeling that she'll be okay whether or not this particular relationship works out. AshLee, take note: This is the kind of quality that will make you more attractive to the right guy.
Next week, the eliminated women will reunite in the "Women Tell All" special. Is AshLee still livid over her elimination? Does Desiree blame her brother for her elimination? Has Tierra learned from her experience on the show? This will be interesting to see.

ADA News
Advancing diversity student to student
Las Vegas—Dream builders be, ADA President William R. Calnon exhorted dental students charged with "Increasing Diversity in the Dental Profession: For You by You."
Now in its sixth year, the ADA's Student Ambassador Program convened 85 diverse students from schools across the nation for pre-session events Oct. 8 and 9 at the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine and the MGM Grand Conference Center, respectively.
Among their tasks at the 2011 Student Ambassador Program: in teams of four to six students, design a program that could be implemented at their school or in their community that accomplishes the mission of the ADA ambassador program to increase diversity within the dental profession. The program could involve dental students, dental admissions and pre-health advisors.
The students also heard presentations on best practices in student-to-student outreach and recruitment strategies.
Dr. Calnon encouraged their endeavors.
"And when you go out there to talk to someone who might be interested, don't just talk to them, excite them. Tell them about all the rewards of dentistry but also show them the future, all the technological developments, all the possibilities. You are more than ambassadors. You are dream builders."
The ADA Student Ambassador Program:
- dental students take the lead in organizing and conducting introduction to dentistry programs with an emphasis on recruiting underrepresented students to the profession;
- student representatives from the Hispanic Student Dental Association; Student National Dental Association; American Dental Education Association's Council of Students, Residents and Fellows; American Student Dental Association; and Society of American Indian Dentists Student Chapter;
- sponsored by the ADA Council on Dental Education and Licensure Committee on Career Guidance and Diversity Activities comprising ADEA, ASDA, NDA, SAID and student chapters, National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions and GlaxoSmithKline;
- thanks the ADA Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations for generous sponsorship and support.

Just great food. – If you want to frequent an independent restaurant that has great healthy yummy food, and plenty of it, this is the place. Wonderful owner, I think she inherited it from her parents. You get a bunch of little bowls of different foods with your main dish. If you are a vegetarian, get the bi bim bap with no meat. And if you love meat, get it with.
Good galbi – I don't know authentic Korean food, but I have eaten at a lot of Korean restaurants in America, and this one has the best galbi.
Not quite what we were hoping for. – We were really excited to go get some Korean food and we wanted to try something new, we mostly go to Hoban in Eagan, but we were left unsatisfied and poor. The service was good, our water was kept full the whole time and we had plenty of rice and sides. The atmosphere was nice, there was some Korean hip hop on in the background which was pretty cool. The server was nice and our food cam out quite quickly, but we did go at 4 on a Saturday so there was only one other table in the restaurant. Our food was not what we were hoping for, We got the Bulgogi- it was a little dry and there was not much sauce on it, it didn't taste like much. We also got the Kalbi and there was very little meat on the bones. The ribs had more fat than meat on almost every piece, but the sauce was very good on these. We ended up spending 43$ with tip for these dishes and a soda and left wishing we would have just gone to Chipotle instead.
Good Solid Korean Food – I highly recommend Mirror of Korea. I wanted to write a more updated post of the food and atmosphere as over summer '08, Mirror of Korea has remodeled. The place actually offers a comforting, more modern ambience and the walls and restaurant itself are less bare-cafe like, and more updated and inviting. Not only that, but the parents have retired from cooking and the "lone Korean-mom server" now does the cooking and they have at least 2-3 people on as waitstaff. They are most likely Korean students attending Hamline.
Additionally, they offer wine now in addition to a few beer options (including Korean options), which is a nice addition. They are less quality (Beringer, Sutter Home) wines in mini-bottles, but still, for the affordable cost of a Korean meal - they are at least attempting to give more to the clientele.
A staple to try as an appetizer are the mandu (Korean dumplings) and the seafood pancakes. You will receive your banchee (side dishes) with any entree - staples to try if you are new to Korean food are the bulgogi (both the beef and pork are good); if you are with picky eaters-the na go gi is a good option as it is more familiar (deep fried chunks of chicken) in a typical korean hot sauce with mushrooms, onions, zucchini and peppers.
They also offer items like skate fish if you are adventurous. They do not accept checks-cash or debit/credit cards only. Two people can easily eat here with an appetizer, two entrees and a few beers a piece for $50.
Editorial Review – St. Paul Korean has a loyal following for its authentic, spicy food and marinated short ribs and beef.
Best place for Korean! – I have been going to this place literally since I have been born and i am now 20. The service is friendly. It is not a fancy place but a comfortable place. Aside my moms Korean cooking it is the best place that one can go.
Good Korean Food - But Nothing Fancy – Good Korean food, but not as good as Hoban in Eagan. Their prices were OK, but the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. Their booths are kinda tall and not very comfortable. The service was OK, but I got the impression they didn't really want to be bothered ! We arrived around 1:20pm on a Friday and it seemed to be an imposition to the staff.
Great Food, and Friendliest Place in Town – We've been going for years, and the food is always very good--best Korean we've had in the Twin Cities. It's not fancy, but it's a great value and the owner is wonderfully friendly. It's also great for kids who aren't obsessed with Mac and Cheese only--try the veggie pancakes and let them sample all of the small side dishes. Comfortable, filling and tasty.
Good Home-Style Cooking – I love Korean food, and Shilla on Snelling used to be the best place for it before they sold to another restauranteur. But Mirror of Korea is a close second and it's just up the street from where Shilla used to be. I don't understand why people keep reviewing the food as "not super authentic" because I grew up eating most of the same foods in my Korean household. Their galbi (barbequed shortribs) is delicious and an easy introduction for those wary of trying new foods. My non-Korean husband loves their daeji bulgogi (spicy grilled pork) a great choice for those not afraid of a little spice. The soo tooboo chigae (a spicy and rich tofu and seafood stew) is hearty and filling; if you're familiar with Mexican cuisine, the taste is similar to caldo de siete mares (soup of the 7seas). They also serve a dish not normally found in most Korean restaurants; mool naeng myun, a noodle soup served in a cold light beef broth with thin slices of beef, hard-boiled egg and cucumbers. Delicious and refreshing esp. in the summer (when Koreans love to eat it), you can't get much more authentic than naeng myun.
The prices are very reasonable, their lunch specials are amazing, with smaller portions of your favorite barbeque dishes and a side of rice for around $7!
As for the service, the waitress/owner is a lot like the food, straight forward, very Korean mom-like. So don't get all miffed if she's not super-friendly to you right away. She warms up as the food is served and she also may try to steer you away from foods that she thinks you might not like, but persevere, and don't send it back if you don't like it, she warned you!
To the reviewer who wrote about being understaffed, I've also waited a while for the food, but honestly, I don't think they could afford another waiter or cook as it's totally a family run business. I prefer to frequent smaller local restaurants and I think Mirror of Korea is worth the wait!
good korean, not perfect authentic but very good – I'm not expert at Korean dining, but I'm a fan of the cuisine and hae eaten in many korean places around the country.
These guys are not purveyors of "high" korean cuisine but rather homier cooking, and they do it very well. Bul Go Gi and Bi Bim Bop are my favorites here, along with cold buckwheat noodle soup and Dukh Bok Uhm (rice cake stir fry). Oh, and Seafood pancakes are delish! . Many korean dishes are rather odd for american palates, and the waitress will caution you if she thinks you may be sorry. Its charming, if occasionally a bit odd to have her say "you won't like that". I like to prove her wrong, but you will do well to at least consider her advice if you are not familiar with Korean.
Service can be rather slow, since there's only one very busy waitress. Prices are good although beer is rather overpriced.
The owners/waitress love kids and are very sweet to children eating there, although many kids aren't adventurous enough eaters for korean they will probably like chicken bulgogi.
Also, they close tuesdays, and we often forget that and are sad when we get there having forgotten.

As nature photographer Ethan Meleg travels ever further from his Ontario base, he has more and more time to contemplate his choice of gear. Not just the big stuff like his 500mm Canon f/4 IS lens, but the much smaller yet sometimes essential items, like the Singh-Ray "drop-in" LB Warming Polarizer.
"Polarizers are the bread-and-butter filter for outdoor photography," says Ethan. "I rarely shoot a landscape, macro or tourism photo without a polarizer on the front of my lens. Most photographers are keenly aware of the benefits -- reducing glare off wet or shiny surfaces, improving saturation, and making clouds pop dramatically against the sky. These same benefits often apply to photographing wildlife with super-telephoto lenses.
"Rather than trying to mount a huge polarizer on the front of a super-telephoto lens, there are much smaller "drop-in" filters that are inserted near the rear of the lens. I bought one for my Canon 500mm f/4 IS and was very excited to learn that Singh-Ray could upgrade the stock Canon polarizer that comes with the drop-in unit to an LB Warming Polarizer. The Singh-Ray LB "lighter-brighter" polarizer is nearly twice as fast as a typical polarizer and that is important to me, especially when using long lenses that amplify camera shake. Every bit of shutter speed counts when using a long telephoto lens!
"I find myself using this filter most often when shooting birds or mammals that are wet. While photographing Harlequin Ducks and Purple Sandpipers on the Atlantic Coast at Barnegat, New Jersey this past winter – the LB drop-in polarizer was my weapon of choice to reduce glare off the wet rocks and water surface, thereby creating much richer saturation in the photos.
"The image at the top of this story is one of several captured on a recent safari in Kenya. I arrived at the famous Mara River crossing late in the morning and the light had already become harsh. There was a pasty glaze cast on everything, and I normally wouldn't even bother to shoot in those conditions, but it was my first experience being that close to hippos and there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity. Hippos are one of my favorite animals! By using the Singh-Ray drop-in polarizer in my 500mm lens, I was able to significantly reduce the wet glare off the hippos and achieve excellent color saturation. This one little filter salvaged the photo shoot."
All three of these images were shot with the Canon 500/4 IS lens with a 1.4 teleconverter.
Ethan is preparing for his upcoming Nature Photography Seminar, May 5 at Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. This all-day seminar at the Welland Camera Club will include tips and techniques for using filters to create dramatic photos. There are also a couple of spots left for his "Wildflowers of the Bruce Penninsula" workshop in June. Click here for details.

Note: To upgrade your drop-in polarizer, you'll need to ship the drop-in polarizer that fits your lens to Singh-Ray along with payment for the LB Warming Polarizer glass plus $50 custom mounting fee ($260 + shipping). This service is also available for our Gold-N-Blue Polarizer ($240 + shipping), or LB ColorCombo ($420 + shipping). For more information, call Singh-Ray at 863-993-4100.

A winter storm that could drop anywhere between two to eight inches of snow across the Chicago area has prompted airlines to cancel more than 200 flights and sent snowplows to the streets for the Thursday evening rush. Most of the snow will be in the northern counties if Lake and McHenry.
Freezing rain is changing to snow and one to four inches of accumulation is possible by midnight, according to the National Weather Service.
The Illinois Tollway deployed its full fleet of 182 plows Thursday afternoon, according to a release. The plows will patrol the 286 miles of toll road in 12 counties in northern Illinois.
Airlines canceled more than 200 flights at O'Hare International Airport, where delays are averaging 20 minutes, according to the city Department of Aviation. Midway International Airport is reporting normal operations as of 3:30 p.m.
The weather service has issued a winter weather advisory for the Chicago area until 9 p.m. A winter storm warning has been issued for Lake and McHenry counties, where the heaviest snow is expected.
Snow could accumulate at an inch per hour at times and two to four inches total are likely north of I-88, the weather service said. Four to eight inches possible across Lake and McHenry counties.
Once the storm passes Thursday night, the next chance of precipitation will be Sunday, the weather service says. But by then, the highs will be in the lower 40s and the precipitation will be all rain.

An elite QB makes players around him good. An average QB needs good players around him to be better. Ponder is average-at best. AP is a beast, but MIN hasn't helped him with competent receivers that a developing QB needs. A terrible team constantly makes knee jerk decisions about personnel, schemes, coaches, etc. Give the dude some patience and a weapon at WR (who isn't made of glass) before making the switch.
Does Percy Harvin's absence buy Christian Ponder more time?
Twice this season, Christian Ponder has been held under 65 yards passing in a game. He has thrown for fewer yards this season (2,305) than any other 12-game starter. Ponder's second-year struggles — and especially some horrid interceptions, like one he fired in the end zone last Sunday — have doomed the Vikings at times, as a 4-1 start has withered away to a 6-6 record.
But in light of the news that Percy Harvin has been placed on injured reserve, thus ending his 2012 season, it's worth … uh … pondering this question:
To whom exactly is Christian Ponder supposed to throw the ball?
Harvin was a terrific option when he was healthy, but he's now missed three games (and will wind up sitting out seven). Jerome Simpson, expected to provide an absent vertical threat, was suspended for Weeks 1-3, then dealt with back and leg issues that slowed him during the middle portion of Minnesota's schedule.
The rest of Minnesota's receiver depth chart is a hodgepodge of nondescript options: Michael Jenkins, Devin Aromashodu, Jarius Wright (who was inactive until Harvin suffered his ankle injury) and Stephen Burton. Which player is the go-to option there? Who amongst that group can stretch the field against defenses stacked up to stop Adrian Peterson?
The Vikings' conservative play calling and Ponder's refusal to take shots downfield have no doubt helped stymie this offense — Ponder has completed just six passes thrown deeper than 20 yards all season, according to Pro Football Focus.
It's still hard to feel like Ponder has been given a fair shake.
Minnesota used the No. 12 overall pick in the 2011 draft on Ponder, expecting him to become a franchise QB. So far, the returns have been frustrating, with Ponder posting an 8-14 overall record.
He did come out of the gate scorching this season, hitting on more than 68 percent of his passes (84 for 123) over the first four weeks. Ponder also did not fire an interception until Week 5, though he also did not have a TD pass in Week 1 or Week 4. Long story short, Ponder showed enough early in 2012 to have the Vikings excited; to make the franchise think that they had been right in committing so much to him.
Are the Vikings willing to throw all that out the window, before they truly commit to surrounding Ponder with viable talent out wide?
Harvin, assuming he returns to form after potential ankle surgery, still has one year left on his contract — he requested a trade last summer, you might remember, so his future is a bit murky. Still, if he's back and 100 percent, there are few playmakers in the league like him.
Ponder also has developed a solid rapport with tight end Kyle Rudolph, who has 45 catches and eight touchdowns, while benefiting via play-action from the attention Peterson draws.
One of the obvious missions for the Vikings this coming offseason is to find another weapon at receiver. That will be the case, regardless of whether Ponder is still entrenched as the starter in 2013 or not.
Closing the book on Ponder now, however, may be premature unless an elite option presents itself at quarterback. The Vikings have not done Ponder any favors, after all, by asking him to throw to a depleted and severely underwhelming stockpile of receivers.
It will be tempting to dump Ponder and try to pick up someone else with Tebow, Alex Smith, Hasslebeck, Vick, Carson Palmer, Matt Cassel and a few other veterans likely becoming available this offseason. Personally I don't think Ponder has the confidence in himself to play the position. I think he's accurate enough and smart enough but not confident enough. I would rather see Tebow brought in and teamed up with Harvin just like their days at UF. Add AP to that mix and you've got yourself an offense.
@youngz101 They need a qb who is accurate. Stop trying to make Tebow into something he isnt....an NFL QB.

The Friends of Grant Park will be holding an informational meeting and training session on Tuesday, Oct. 14th. The meeting will start at 7 pm and will be held in the Grant Park Golf Course Clubhouse at 100 E. Hawthorne Ave., South Milwaukee.
The Friends of Grant Park are interested in forming a Park Watch Group. There will be a one-hour training session at the meeting provided by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's office. Some of the topics to be covered include security techniques, park regulations, communication and park safety.
Supervisor Jursik to hold Town Hall Meetings
County supervisor Pat Jursik will be holding Town Hall Meetings every Tuesday in October. The meetings will offer citizens the opportunity to discuss the transit crisis, deterioration of our parks, cuts to paramedic funding and other relevant topics of interest to County residents.
I'm a little late on getting this info out; one of the meetings has already passed. There are, however, three more meetings scheduled for this month:
Celtic Halloween Party on Oct. 25th
On Saturday, Oct. 25th, The Garlic Mustard Pickers will be helping Friends of Grant Park with a family event. The event is the "Celtic Halloween" party! There will be a costume parade for kids followed by a performance of Irish and Scottish music featuring songs about Halloween.
This fun-filled event will be held at the Grant Park Golf Course Clubhouse (at the east end of Hawthorne Ave. in South Milwaukee). Doors open at 6 pm. A kids' costume parade will be held at 6:30 pm and the music starts in earnest at 7 pm. Admission is $5 for adults or $2 for kids. The Invisible Man is free (only if completely invisible). Admission includes a dessert and a beverage (soda or hot cider, etc.). There will be lots of really cool music you'll never hear anywhere else.
This event is only held every other year, so if you miss it you will have to wait until 2010.
I Support Obama for President
If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know I write primarily about running, bicycling and issues affecting our beautiful County Parks. I feel compelled, however, to deviate from my primary focus at this historic time in our nation's history to state my support for Barack Obama.
My reasons are personal and emotional. I do not follow politics closely ( I am more interested in local politics and news than in national or international affairs) but I do have strong feelings about the upcoming election. My reasons are as follows:

Facebook seems to be the new place for announcing a relationship, contacting an old schoolmate, and sometimes – fighting with friends. Recently a woman sent hurtful and combative messages to another woman. In retaliation, the other woman formed a fake Facebook profile page characterizing her adversary as a bad person and posting fake embarrassing photos. This battle went on for months until one of the women was referred to The Long Island Dispute Resolution Center. Although hesitant at first, both parties agreed to try mediation. In the end, an agreement was reached and signed by the parties. The women agreed to contact one another directly if something else should arise, rather than lashing out in a public forum. Both women were extremely pleased with the mediation process.

Bulimia Nervosa
by Debra Wood, RN
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder. People who have bulimia are overly concerned with weight and body image. They eat very large amounts of food (called binging) and use inappropriate means to rid their bodies of the food (called purging). Purging may be done through vomiting, laxatives, or water pills. Excessive exercise or fasting may replace or be used along with purging. This cycle of binging and purging is used to prevent weight gain.
Causes TOP
The exact cause of bulimia is unknown. Factors that may contribute to this condition include:
Risk Factors TOP
Factors that increase your chance of developing bulimia include:
Symptoms TOP
Behavioral symptoms include:
Physical symptoms include:
Bulimia may lead to other problems, including:
Symptoms of these complications include:
People with bulimia have a high incidence of psychiatric conditions, including:
Diagnosis TOP
The doctor will ask about:
The doctor will also do a physical exam. Your teeth will be checked for signs of erosion.
Tests may include:
A mental health professional may also perform a psychiatric exam and/or psychological tests.
Treatment TOP
The goals of treatment are:
Treatments include:
Nutritional Support
You may be referred to a registered dietitian. A dietitian can teach you how to follow a healthy diet and create reasonable weight and calorie goals.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be very effective, especially when combined with medicine.
Other therapies may be less effective, but can help you to:
Medications TOP
Antidepressant drugs, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have proven effective in helping to reduce binging and purging.
Prevention TOP
Healthy attitudes about food and your body help prevent bulimia nervosa. Suggestions include:

Ion Assault
is composed of a series of levels (20+) located in outer space in which you guide your spaceship to destroy the strewn out obstacles. Sound familiar? It should. After
one of our own spoke with a designer at Coreplay
, the overall sense of the game seemed to be a next generation Asteroids – and I definitely felt that this claim held water.
What is next generation about this shooter is mostly due to the weaponry. You aren't exactly fully equipped when you enter each stage, but you will instead have to collect ion particles to shoot out at your enemies – hence,
Ion Assault
. The strength of your shot will depend on how much you charge your weapon with the particles, but a fully charged ship will result in heavier movement. This mode of weapon has its advantages as well as its disadvantages of which you will have to recognize in order to wield properly. Of course, we wouldn't want things to be too easy, so I appreciated the tact with which you have to make decisions as to how and when to use the particles. As Chuck noted in his
, cornering your enemies will allow you to recollect the same particles more efficiently as they bounce back to you from the barriers, ensuring death rather than just damage. After gathering the ion particles, you will also notice that they can be used as a sort of shield. This will only hold up against weaker enemies or obstacles and still need to be maneuvered skillfully – there are many close, but no cigar moments.
The ion particles aren't just useful for battling; I also found them to be an interesting addition to the visuals. You'll find bright and glowing colors all about the screen, of which the particles are most certainly a part of. The imminent entrance of an enemy is signified by a glowing circle of a different color, and many of the enemies themselves will be adorned with glowing colors. Depending on the color of your "avatar" that you choose from the get-go, the main colors in the game will change, as well. For instance, the streams of color that move across the screen to collect your points can be pink, green, blue, etc.
The levels progress slowly in difficulty, giving you time to adjust to the new enemies that each stage offers. At times you will notice an onslaught of objects and enemies coming forth at you, and will result in a true test of your maneuvering abilities. Enemies come in different forms (check the
for a full list), some more difficult to overcome than others. There are mines, bug looking aliens, other spaceships with different abilities, lasers, and of course the ultimate bosses that include a combination of a few of these enemies. You might find yourself trading in tactic for sheer luck when faced with this horde of enemies. If you have some sort of odd cat-like response system like yours truly, you might not feel completely overwhelmed. Even so, I myself had difficulty in even recognizing what was going on at times. Fortunately, you are not left completely alone when chaos hits: the best method of dealing with the onslaught of enemies is utilizing the power-ups provided on each level.
There are different forms of power-ups that help switch up the gameplay style. Chuck's favorite was the Gravity Well, but I was a personal fan of the Vortex. Probably the easiest way to deal with an overwhelming amount of activity on your screen, the Vortex will blast enemies within a radius by gathering mass amounts of particles and sucking them into the vortex. It is quite the satisfying sight. These power-ups are useful in a tight spot: Chromo will slow the scene down, Seeking Drones are bombs that will actively hunt your enemies, Gravity Well helps you collect particles, and Plasma Torus will create swirls of ion particles in your location to help protect you.
While there did seem to be a good amount of emphasis on tactical gameplay, some boss rounds were a bit boring. It was like figuring out the Easter bunny isn't real – there are ways around having to think out a game plan if you catch on to the boss's attack and movement patterns. From there it's just a matter of patience and repetition.
The sound effects and music were what you would expect: space-like. Sound effects are important to listen for because you don't have a full view of each level at all times. Enemies have particular corresponding sound effects – including when they first enter the level – and while they seemed to be cute at first, I have to admit their existence wasn't so pleasant when they wouldn't die. Desperately avoiding the fast Tau Ceti Seeker that darts at you at incredible speeds, I will run into a Tau Ceti Mine and their alert starts to feel like a laugh in my face: "Escape is futile!" Ok, they don't actually say that.
Nevertheless, if you're a chaotic shoot 'em up fan,
Ion Assault
will probably be right up your gaming alley. The myriad of diverse enemies definitely keep gameplay interesting, and the multiplayer option should tide you over even after your completion of the game.
More On:
Ion Assault
Black Inc.
Ion Assault is tricky and fun. Rife with pleasant colors and sounds, the game was an enjoyable shoot 'em up experience with diversity in the form of enemies and power-ups. Stages can at times feel repetitive, and only amount to about 20+ levels. At playtime under 3 hours the game might not feel worth it, but there is the added pleasure of a co-op experience.

You could say that Carpenter Elementary in Studio City owes its survival to students from other neighborhoods.
A generation ago, their presence kept the campus from being shut down, after local families fled to private schools to avoid Los Angeles Unified's mandatory busing program. By the time busing ended in 1981, fewer than 50 of Carpenter's 450 students were children from the neighborhood.
Former Principal Joan Marks spent years going door-to-door, luring locals back with the promise of a school they could be proud of.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Today Carpenter Community Charter has almost 1,000 students. There's a lottery and a waiting list — and brewing resentment over the suspicion that children from other communities are using fake addresses to attend, filling seats that ought to belong to neighborhood children.
The school has so many students now, there may not be room next fall for all of Studio City's kindergartners. "We'll be putting local kids on buses," said Principal Joseph Martinez, "if we don't get this sorted out."
What a turnaround from a time when most of its students were bused in.
Times reporter Stephen Caesar wrote about the school's dilemma this month, as Carpenter launched a crackdown to root out families who lied about living within the school's attendance boundaries.
Martinez said preliminary checks suggest that one in 10 Carpenter families may be claiming a false address.
"I totally get why people would do anything to get their child into Carpenter," the principal said. Its test scores are among the district's highest. It offers a palette of enrichment classes that many private schools can't match.
That's the product of decades of community investment, he said. "This is a school that was supposed to close. The community got involved and kept it going."
That community involvement is plain to see in the extras that set Carpenter apart: its science center, music program, dance classes and computer lab, PE coach, science specialist and extra teachers to keep classes small.
"Those are not things the school district paid for, but the local residents provided," Martinez said. The school's booster club raises about $300,000 each year. "This community is very proud of that. Residents have a sense of ownership here."
And if you're not a resident and want to attend? Take your chances in the enrollment lottery. Or pony up about $1.5 million, the price tag on an average local home.
Carpenter is one of few Los Angeles Unified schools with the power to drive real estate prices up. "To live within the boundaries of Carpenter Charter School in Studio City … is to be the envy of your neighbor," promises a local real estate website.
And if you can't live within those boundaries, you might be able to pretend. Martinez spotted two posts on Craigslist from residents offering to sell their addresses to parents trying to fake their way in.
There's a sort of mythology around elementary schools like this — Ivanhoe in Silver Lake and Wonderland in Hollywood are others — that attracts ambitious young parents, gets everyone donating and volunteering, and makes families at less-spectacular schools wonder what they're missing.
Part of what accounts for Carpenter's high achievement is not mysterious at all. It's not burdened with social and economic problems. Its demographic profile is nothing like a typical Los Angeles school.
Carpenter is 78% white in a district that is 73% Latino. Only 7% of its students are from families poor enough to qualify for free lunch; three-quarters of district students are. And only 5% of its pupils don't speak English, in a district where one-third of students aren't fluent English speakers.
But parents insist that something less tangible is more important to its success. "It's the sense of community," said Rebecca Silverstein, whose two children — Milo, 9, and Poppy, 6 — raved about their teachers and their campus.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Absolutely amazing! I originally was going to do a DIY Save the Date. I am glad I changed my mind. I could never have made something that looked this good."
"I just loved my save the dates. They came out wonderful, I am so impressed. The paper quality was amazing, which made it really easy to put them in the envelopes. I would definitely recommend this print card."
"My fiance and I bought these Save the Dates for our upcoming wedding because we loved the calendar idea and the font was very sleak. All of our guests told us how beautiful and classy the cards were because it didn't scream "SAVE THE DATE". Customer service and delivery was also great, we got the invites very quickly and they were a very quality product."
"I used these for my save the dates and loved how they turned out. We changed the fonts and added a picture on the back. The front area can be a little tight for text so we added it to the back and it came out great. The design proof and shipping were so fast too! So happy with the experience all around!"
"We absolutely loved these save the dates! They proved to reflect both our relationship and the feel of our wedding just as we had hoped- fun-loving, distinct, but still timeless. We received so many compliments from our guests."

Morning Star BuildingTalk0
this wiki
The Morning Star Building is a skyscraper located in Torrington, Liberty City just beside, in the same block as the Jefferson St. Credit Union building, where they share the same plaza. It is probably owned by the Morning Star Industries, as seen on the billboard nearby.
The skyscraper is *m (* ft) tall, and it's floor plan is a truncated rectangle where one of the corners form a stepped garden. It has glass panel façade which gives it overall blue colour. When seen from far away, it practically seems invisible as it visually blends, with it's similar façade and small height, with the much larger Jefferson St. Credit Union building. Above the entrance, there is a white star logo, similar to the sculpture on the plaza in front.
The skyscraper's name is not official, but taken from it's model file "mrngstarbuild".
It's similar counterpart, Cleethorpes Tower is found in GTAIV, and both of them are based on the design of real Trump Tower in NYC.
Morning Star Plaza
The signature plaza in front of the building contains steps encircling the denivelated plateau with the prominent transparent sculpture of a star (actually two blended triangular prisms), probably the "Morning Star", a logo of the industrial magnate, the Morning Star Industries. The plaza is a popular place for businessmen to relax during work brakes and enjoy the view towards the ocean.
- The Morning Star is also a gang in Saints Row: The Third [1] which is a GTA clone.
