Bulimia Nervosa
Condition Overview
What is bulimia nervosa?
Bulimia (say "boo-LEE-mee-uh") is a type of eating disorder. People with bulimia will eat a larger amount of food than most people would in a similar situation, in a short period of time (binge). Then, in order to prevent weight gain, they will do something to get rid of the food (purge). They may vomit, exercise too much, or use medicines like laxatives.
People who have bulimia judge themselves harshly on their body weight and shape. In order to help them cope with these feelings, they follow a strict diet to try to lose weight. But over time the hunger from the strict diet triggers them to binge eat. After binge eating, they feel out of control, ashamed, guilty, and afraid of gaining weight. This distress causes them to purge, in hopes of "undoing" any possible weight gain from the binge.
Without treatment, this "binge and purge" cycle can lead to serious, long-term health problems. Acid in the mouth from vomiting can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and loss of tooth enamel. Any type of purging can lead to bone thinning (osteoporosis), kidney damage, heart problems, or even death.
If you or someone you know has bulimia or another eating disorder, get help. Eating disorders can be dangerous. And willpower alone is not enough to overcome them. Treatment can help a person who has an eating disorder feel better and be healthier.
What causes bulimia?
All eating disorders are complex problems, and experts do not really know what causes them. But they may be caused by a mix of family history, social factors, and personality traits. You may be more likely to have bulimia if:
- Other people in your family are obese or have an eating disorder.
- You have a job or do a sport that stresses body size, such as ballet, modeling, or gymnastics.
- You are often on a diet or you exercise too much in order to lose weight or change your body shape.
- Have a poor body image, or feel that your body should be slim like many people in the media.
- You are the type of person who tries to be perfect all the time, never feels good enough, or worries a lot.
- You are dealing with stressful life events, such as divorce, moving to a new town or school, or losing a loved one.
Bulimia is most common in:
- Teens. Like other eating disorders, bulimia usually starts in the teen years. But it can start even earlier or in adulthood.
- Women. But boys and men have it too.
While bulimia often starts in the teen years, it usually lasts into adulthood and is a long-term disorder.
What are the symptoms?
People with bulimia:
- Binge eat on a regular basis. They eat larger amounts of food than most people would in a similar situation, in a short period of time (2 hours or less). During a binge, they feel out of control and feel unable to stop eating.
- Purge to get rid of the food and avoid weight gain. They may make themselves vomit, exercise very hard or for a long time, or misuse laxatives, enemas, water pills (diuretics), or other medicines.
- Base how they feel about themselves on how much they weigh and how they look.
Any one of these can be a sign of an eating disorder that needs treatment.
How can you know if someone has bulimia?
Bulimia is different from anorexia nervosa, another eating disorder. People who have anorexia eat so little that they become extremely thin. People who have bulimia may not be thin. They may be a normal size. They may binge in secret and deny that they are purging. This makes it hard for others to know that a person with bulimia has a serious problem.
If you are concerned about someone, look for the following signs. A person may have bulimia if he or she:
- Goes to the bathroom right after meals.
- Is secretive about eating, hides food, or will not eat around other people.
- Exercises a lot, even when he or she does not feel well.
- Often talks about dieting, weight, and body shape.
- Uses laxatives or diuretics often.
- Has teeth marks or calluses on the back of the hands or swollen cheeks or jaws. These are caused by making oneself vomit.
How is it treated?
Bulimia can be treated with psychological counseling and sometimes medicines, such as antidepressants. The sooner treatment is started, the better. Getting treatment early can make recovery easier and prevent serious health problems.
By working with a counselor, a person with bulimia can learn to feel better about herself. She can learn to eat normally again and stop purging.
Other mental health problems such as depression often happen with bulimia. If a person has another condition along with bulimia, more treatment may be needed, and it may take longer to get better.
Eating disorders can take a long time to overcome. And it is common to fall back into unhealthy ways of eating. If you are having problems, don't try to handle them on your own. Get help.
What should you do if you think someone has bulimia?
It can be very scary to realize that someone you care about has an eating disorder. If you think a friend or loved one has bulimia, you can help.
- Talk to him or her. Tell the person how much you care and why you are worried.
- Urge him or her to talk to someone who can help, like a doctor or counselor. Offer to go along.
- Tell someone who can make a difference, like a parent, teacher, counselor, or doctor. The sooner your friend or loved one gets help, the sooner she will be healthy again.
The cause of bulimia is not clear, but it probably results from a combination of genetics, family behaviors, social values (such as admiring thinness), and other things that can put someone at risk (such as perfectionism).
Your risk for bulimia increases if your parent, sister, or brother has the condition. But family history may be only part of the cause.
Stressful life events such as moving, divorce, or the death of a loved one can trigger bulimia in some people.
Many young women, such as those in college or high school, have unhealthy attitudes toward eating and toward their bodies. Socially, they may accept and encourage destructive behaviors like extreme dieting or binge eating and purging. These beliefs and behaviors are not normal or healthy. They can play a part in developing eating disorders that need treatment. Women who begin to severely restrict their diets in order to lose weight are at risk for bulimia.
Bulimia, like all eating disorders, is a complex physical and psychological condition. Recovery requires treatment that helps you change your behavior and also deals with the deeper attitudes and feelings that cause you to binge and purge.
Symptoms of bulimia include:
- Repeated binge eating, or eating larger amounts of food than most people would in a similar situation, in a short period of time (2 hours or less).
- Frequently getting rid of the calories you've eaten (purging) by making yourself vomit, fasting, exercising too much, or misusing laxatives, diuretics, ipecac syrup, or enemas. Misuse of these medicines can lead to serious health problems and even death.
- Feeling a loss of control over how much you eat.
- Feeling ashamed of overeating and very fearful of gaining weight.
- Basing your self-esteem and value upon your body shape and weight.
- Thinking about food, your body, or dieting so much that it distracts you from other tasks.
Any of the above symptoms can be a sign of bulimia or another eating disorder that needs treatment. If you or someone you know has any of these symptoms, talk to a doctor, friend, or family member about your concerns right away.
Bulimia and other eating disorders can be hard to diagnose, because people often keep unhealthy thoughts and behaviors secret and may deny that they have a problem. Often a person won't get evaluation and treatment until someone else notices the signs of bulimia and encourages the person to seek the help that he or she needs.
Other signs that a person may have bulimia
Common signs that a person may have bulimia are when the person:
- Is very secretive about eating and does not eat around other people.
- Sneaks food or hides food in the house. You may notice that large amounts of food are missing.
- Has frequent weight changes. For example, the person may gain and lose large amounts of weight in short periods of time.
- Has irregular menstrual cycles.
- Seems preoccupied with exercise.
- Often talks about dieting, weight, and body shape.
- Seems to be overusing laxatives and diuretics.
- Has low levels of potassium or other blood electrolyte imbalances.
- Looks sick or has symptoms such as:
- Tooth decay or erosion of tooth enamel.
- Sore gums or mouth sores.
- Dry skin.
- Loose skin.
- Thin or dull hair.
- Swollen salivary glands.
- Bloating or fullness.
- Lack of energy.
- Teeth marks on the backs of the hands or calluses on the knuckles from self-induced vomiting.
- Feels depressed, anxious, or guilty.
- Shoplifts food, laxatives, or diuretics.
- Drinks large amounts of alcohol or uses illegal drugs and may have substance use disorder.
Conditions that commonly occur with bulimia, such as depression, substance use disorder, or anxiety disorders, can make treatment of bulimia harder. Recovery from bulimia can take a long time. And relapse is common. If the person feels extremely discouraged, be sure to tell the doctor immediately so that the person can get immediate help.
In some cases, people who have an eating disorder may feel suicidal.
- Warning signs of possible suicide in children and teens can include being preoccupied with death or suicide, giving away belongings, withdrawing, being angry, or having failing grades.
- Warning signs and possible triggers of suicide in adults can include depression, giving away belongings, a recent job loss, or divorce.
If you or someone you know shows warning signs of suicide, seek help immediately.
Bulimia is different from anorexia. People with anorexia have an extremely low body weight. But most people with bulimia are in their normal weight range. Some people who have anorexia make themselves vomit, but this is a different eating disorder. For more information, see the topic Anorexia Nervosa.
What Happens
When you have bulimia, you judge yourself harshly on your body weight and shape. In order to help cope with these feelings, you follow a strict diet to try to lose weight. But over time, the hunger from your diet triggers you to binge eat. Binge eating may also be triggered by a stressful event, when food gives you a sense of comfort. Feeling guilty and ashamed of binge eating can cause you to purge to avoid weight gain. This starts the cycle of binging and purging that becomes a habit.
As bulimia develops, you may not eat at the beginning of the day. But later you may binge to comfort yourself, especially at the end of a stressful day.
Vomiting causes the body to release endorphins, which are natural chemicals that make you feel good. Eventually you may make yourself vomit even if you have not overeaten so that you can feel good. Soon you lose control over the binge-purge cycle. Repeated vomiting, fasting, exercising too much, or misusing laxatives, diuretics, ipecac syrup, or enemas will eventually cause serious, long-term health problems.
After bulimia becomes a pattern, it is very hard to return to normal eating without help. Unhealthy eating behaviors can continue for many years before a person seeks treatment.
If not treated, bulimia can lead to serious, long-term health problems. It is common for people to hide the condition from others for years. By the time others discover the disorder, many people with bulimia already have serious problems. These range from mild to severe, depending on the type of purging behaviors and how long they have continued. Health problems caused by bulimia include:
- Tooth decay, toothaches, swollen gums, gum disease (gingivitis), and erosion of tooth enamel. These are caused by acid in the mouth from vomiting.
- Osteoporosis.
- Electrolyte imbalances and changes in metabolism that can lead to heart problems, such as arrhythmia and even death.
- Dehydration, which can lead to weakness, fainting, or kidney damage.
- Inflammation or tears of the esophagus, which may cause bloody vomit.
- Swollen salivary glands.
- Fainting or loss of consciousness, usually because of low blood pressure.
- Low body temperature.
- Suicide risk when feeling discouraged about having bulimia or a relapse or about ongoing body image issues.
- Long-term problems with bowel movements because of laxative misuse.
Overuse of medicine (such as ipecac syrup) to cause vomiting can lead to diarrhea, weakness, low blood pressure, chest pain, and trouble breathing. A person can die from prolonged overuse of these medicines.
Other mental health problems often occur along with bulimia, which may make treatment take longer or make bulimia harder to treat.footnote 1 These conditions include:
- Depression, which commonly occurs with eating disorders and increases related feelings of guilt, anxiety, and obsession.
- Substance use disorders, which occur in more than one-third of those with bulimia.
- Borderline personality disorder, which more commonly occurs with bulimia than with other eating disorders.
- Anxiety and anxiety disorders.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- Social anxiety disorder or other phobias.
- Panic disorder or panic attacks.
Although bulimia is a long-term disorder linked to serious health problems, it can be successfully treated. Most people who seek treatment for bulimia get better. Many people with bulimia recover completely with treatment.
Although treatment is usually successful, bulimia is a long-term disorder, and setbacks can occur. A return of symptoms (relapse) might happen. But with ongoing treatment and patience, most people can eventually overcome bulimia.
Bulimia among teens with type 1 diabetes is becoming more common. These teens often lose weight before their diabetes is discovered, then quickly gain weight when treatment begins. Some learn that they can lose weight by skipping insulin doses. This causes poor control of their diabetes and can result in serious problems that can lead to blindness or kidney failure.
What Increases Your Risk
The risk for bulimia or another eating disorder is greatest if a person:footnote 2
- Has a biological parent, brother, or sister who has an eating disorder or who is overweight or obese.
- Is overly concerned with weight or struggles with symptoms of depression.
- Is overweight and is starting a restrictive diet.
- Has certain personal traits such as perfectionism.
- Struggles with cultural and social factors such as admiring thinness.
When To Call
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if:
- You have severe anorexia, and starvation has become life-threatening.
- You or someone you know is thinking seriously of suicide or has recently tried suicide. Serious signs include these thoughts:
- You have decided how to kill yourself, such as with a weapon or medicines.
- You have set a time and place to do it.
- You think there is no other way to solve the problem or end the pain.
- You feel you can't stop from hurting yourself or someone else.
Where to get help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
If you or someone you know talks about suicide, self-harm, a mental health crisis, a substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress, get help right away. You can:
- Call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
- Call 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255).
- Text HOME to 741741 to access the Crisis Text Line.
Consider saving these numbers in your phone.
Call your doctor now if you have been diagnosed with bulimia and now:
- Cannot pass urine.
- Notice that your heart skips beats or beats slower than normal.
- Have severe belly pain, are vomiting up blood, or have black, sticky stools that look like tar. These signs may mean that there is bleeding in the digestive tract.
Call your doctor to discuss bulimia if you:
- Binge and then purge to get rid of food.
- Have lost a lot of weight and can't stop losing weight.
- Fear gaining even a small amount of weight, and this interferes with eating healthy meals.
- Notice that you are secretive or lie about your eating habits.
- See yourself as fat and feel that you must diet, even when other people say you look too thin.
- Have been making yourself vomit or are abusing laxatives or diuretics.
- Are not having menstrual periods when you should.
- Feel the need to exercise a lot, and don't give yourself healing or rest time when you are injured or exhausted.
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is a wait-and-see approach. It's not a good choice if you think you or someone you know may have an eating disorder. Call a doctor or an eating disorder hotline to discuss your concerns and learn what you can do to help.
Exams and Tests
There is no single test that can diagnose bulimia or any other eating disorder. But these illnesses may have a visible effect on your health and eating habits.
If your doctor thinks that you may have an eating disorder, he or she will check you for signs of problems caused by your diet and purging, such as malnutrition or electrolyte imbalances. He or she also may ask questions about your mental well-being. It is common for another mental health problem (such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder) to play a part in an eating disorder.
Common exams and tests for a possible eating disorder include:
- Questions about your medical history, including your physical and emotional health, both present and past.
- A physical exam to check your heart, lungs, blood pressure, weight, mouth, skin, and hair for diet problems.
- Screening questions about your eating habits and how you feel about your health.
- A mental health assessment to check for depression or anxiety.
- Blood tests to check for signs of malnutrition, such as low potassium levels or other chemical imbalances.
- X-rays, which can show whether your bones have been weakened (low bone density) by malnutrition.
A person can have bulimia and be underweight, average weight, or overweight. Most people with bulimia are in their normal weight range. Many binge in secret and deny that they may have a problem. These factors can make bulimia hard to diagnose.
People with bulimia often seek medical care for related health concerns, such as fatigue or stomach problems caused by repeated vomiting.
Early detection
Early, accurate diagnosis and treatment of bulimia can decrease the chances of long-term health problems and even death in severe cases. Unfortunately, there is no routine screening for eating disorders. It is common for a person with bulimia to try to hide symptoms, which can make it hard to detect. Most often a loved one thinks that there is a problem and seeks help for bulimia. It is common for a person to have bulimia for a long time and to develop serious health problems before anyone realizes that the person has the disorder.
Treatment Overview
Treatment for bulimia involves psychological counseling and sometimes medicines such as antidepressants. Treatment does not usually require staying in the hospital, although this is sometimes needed. Both professional counseling and antidepressant medicine can help reduce episodes of binging and purging and help you recover from bulimia. Both are long-term treatments that may require weeks or months before you notice significant results. You may need treatment with counseling and possibly medicines for more than a year.
Bulimia that occurs with another condition may take longer to treat. And you may need more than one type of treatment. If you have another condition that commonly occurs with bulimia, such as depression or substance use disorder, your doctor may want to treat that condition first.
People who seek treatment for bulimia or another eating disorder may have other health problems caused by the disorder. If you have had bulimia for a long time without treatment, or if you have used substances such as laxatives, diuretics, or ipecac syrup to purge, then you may have a health problem such as dehydration that needs treatment first. In serious cases, these conditions related to bulimia may require you to spend time in the hospital.
Initial treatment
Initial treatment depends how severe the bulimia is and how long you have had it.
If you have no other conditions that need treatment first, then treatment for bulimia usually consists of:
- Medicines. Antidepressants such as fluoxetine (Prozac, for example), are sometimes used to reduce binge-purge cycles and relieve symptoms of depression that often occur along with eating disorders. They work best when combined with counseling.
- Psychological counseling. Two types of counseling are useful in treating bulimia. They are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). In CBT you learn how to change negative thoughts that you may have about food, your weight, your body, or beliefs about yourself. In IPT you learn how relationships—and feelings about those relationships—affect binge eating and purging.
The goals of CBT are:
- To use nutritional counseling to help you learn how to eat three meals and two snacks a day and avoid unhealthy diets.
- To reduce concern about your body weight and shape.
- To understand and reduce triggers of binge eating by examining your relationships and emotions.
- To develop a plan to learn proper coping skills to prevent future relapses.
The goals of IPT are:
- To identify relationships that are connected to binge eating and purging.
- To learn how emotions that come up from these relationships are related to binge eating and purging.
- To help correct these relationship patterns, so that you won't binge eat or purge in response to bad feelings.
Ongoing treatment
Continuing treatment will depend on the how long you have had bulimia and how severe it is. Continuing treatment usually consists of:
- Psychological counseling, such as interpersonal psychotherapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
- Antidepressant medicines. Antidepressants can help lower the number of binge-purge cycles you have and may also be used to treat another related condition, such as depression or anxiety.
Treatment if the condition gets worse
If you develop other health problems such as dehydration or an esophageal tear because of bulimia, you may need to stay in the hospital or in an eating disorder treatment facility.
Sometimes people with bulimia get discouraged because recovery can take a long time and relapse is common. If you or the person with bulimia feels very discouraged or feels suicidal, call a doctor or other health professional immediately to get help.
What to think about
Treatment with an antidepressant medicine alone may not be enough. Antidepressants work best when combined with psychological counseling.footnote 3
Eating disorders are hard to treat. Recovery may take months to years. The sooner treatment begins, the better the chance for a full recovery.
Unfortunately, many people don't seek treatment for mental health problems. You may not seek treatment because you think the symptoms are not bad enough or that you can work things out on your own. But getting treatment is important.
If you need help deciding whether to see your doctor, read about some reasons why people don't get help and how to overcome them.
There is no known way to prevent bulimia. Early treatment may be the best way to prevent the disorder from progressing. Knowing the signs of bulimia and seeking immediate medical care can help prevent long-term health problems caused by bulimia.
There are many ways that adults can help children and teens develop a healthy view of themselves and learn to approach food and exercise with a positive attitude. Doing this may prevent some children and teens from developing this disorder.
- Encourage a healthy view of self and others. Teach children to take good care of their bodies. Avoid making comments that link being thin to being popular or beautiful.
- Have a healthy approach to food and exercise. Avoid punishing or rewarding your children with food. And be a good role model for healthy eating and exercising.
Home treatment is very important for people who have bulimia. You will set individual goals along with your doctor, registered dietitian, and professional counselor. Some of these goals may include:
- Practicing emotional self-care. Don't blame yourself for your condition. Pace yourself, and try to spend time with other people who care about you.
- Taking one day at a time. Remember that your goal is to feel better with each passing day.
Family members will also need to support the person's goals for healing. Learning about the disorder will be helpful for the entire family. Also, show support of a loved one who has bulimia. Offer support if the person gets discouraged about how long treatment is taking. Listen to his or her feelings.
Medicines such as antidepressants may reduce the frequency of the binge-purge episodes of bulimia. They may also be used to treat other mental health problems, such as depression, that often occur along with bulimia. And you may need antacids to decrease stomach acid or bulk laxatives such as Citrucel to replace the overuse of more harsh laxatives.
Medicine choices
Antidepressants are used to reduce the frequency of binge-purge cycles and treat any related depression or anxiety.
What to think about
Sometimes several antidepressant medicines are tried before finding the one that works best. Treatment with medicines is more effective when combined with psychological counseling, which includes nutritional counseling.footnote 4
There is no surgical treatment for bulimia.
Other Treatment
In addition to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), several types of counseling may be useful in treating eating disorders. Other therapies that may be helpful include:
- Nutritional counseling, which teaches the person to eat three meals and two snacks a day and to avoid unhealthy diets.
- Dialectical behavior therapy, which is a long-term approach that focuses on helping the person regulate emotions. Coping better with life's challenges and negative emotions should help you reduce the binge-purge behaviors.
- Group counseling, which may enhance individual therapy. Often it is helpful to speak with other people who have this condition.
- Family therapy. Family members can be very helpful to their loved one's recovery, especially for an adolescent with bulimia. Family therapy teaches about the disorder and ways to help.
Self-care programs
Organized programs that provide self-help materials, such as manuals or computer-based activities, may be useful in treating eating disorders. But most people who have an eating disorder also need counseling and possibly medicine.
Managing stress
Although it isn't part of the treatment of bulimia, relieving stress can help during recovery. Techniques for managing stress include:
- Writing. Expressing yourself in writing can be a very effective way to reduce your stress level.
- Expressing your feelings. Talking, laughing, crying, and expressing anger are normal parts of the emotional healing process.
- Doing something you enjoy. A hobby or other healthy leisure activity that is meaningful to you can help you relax. Volunteer work or work that helps others can be a powerful stress-buster.
- Learning body-centered relaxation. This includes breathing exercises, muscle relaxation exercises, massage, aromatherapy, yoga, and the traditional Chinese relaxation exercises called tai chi and qi gong.
- Learning stress-reducing activities. These include learning how to relax your body through mindfulness-based stress reduction, meditation, imagery exercises, listening to relaxing music, and using humor.

I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them.
Congratulations on an excellent website.

Warne Marlin Lever Actions Matte Weaver Rail
Maxima A997M Marlin Lever Actions
The Maxima Aluminum Bases are modeled around the popular Weaver design, which is one of the strongest and most versatile mounting systems available today. The low profile of the Maxima Aluminum Bases give your firearm a sleek look. When used in conjunction with Warne Maxima QD Rings, the shooter is able to utilize the open sights by looking over the top of the bases without sacrificing the normal shooting position behind the firearm.
These bases also offer a full width recoil slot in each base. This feature allows the recoil control keys of Warne Rings to attain maximum bearing surface.
- Low profile design allows use of iron sights when optics are removed.
- Full width and depth recoil slots provide maximum bearing surface for recoil key engagement.
- Bases securely mount to your firearm with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws, 25 in/lb. of torque is recommended.
Visually inspect your firearm's receiver for burrs around the screw holes and remove if necessary. Remove all oil and grease from the holes in the receiver, the base screws and contact surfaces. Place the scope mount base(s) on the receiver. Check for proper fit and alignment. Using a T-15 wrench (supplied with WARNE rings) loosely install the supplied Torx 15 screws. If base(s) fit properly, firmly tighten screws.* WARNE recommends 25 in/lb torque.
*WARNE recommends the use of a REMOVABLE thread locking compound for best results.

Tau Kappa Epsilon is a men's social fraternity with hundreds of prominent alumni and was established January 10, 1899, at Illinois Wesleyan University. But what does that really mean? Let us explain. With more than 250 active chapters and colonies in the United States and Canada, Tau Kappa Epsilon's membership is as diverse and unique as the collegiate and universities in which we reside. There isn't a proper blanket statement that is able to capture the essence of what a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon, or rather a "Teke" is—that's up to you to decide.
Since its founding on January 10, 1899, Tau Kappa Epsilon has been a driving force in the fraternal world. And as we look back on our history, we are reminded of the path that was forged by great ideals held by revolutionary men. More than 275,000 men of sterling character and staunch uprightness have joined a brotherhood that believes in the honest convictions of Love, Charity and Esteem. Men like Ronald Reagan, Steve Forbes, Danny Thomas, Conrad Hilton and Charles R. Walgreen actively sought to better themselves, and in return, better the Fraternity.

Ronald Reagan 40th President of the United States

Digger Phelps Basketball Coach at Notre Dame
(Epsilon-Zeta, Rider, 1961)
Veteran college basketball coach who, during his 20 seasons leading the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, tied the NCAA record for most upsets over a #1 team at 7. Spent the following 20 years as a Sports Analyst for ESPN.
TKE has been a positive influence on more than 275,000 men, complimenting their academic endeavors with leadership and personal development. Tau Kappa Epsilon offers men a learning experience unavailable in the classroom alone.
The Tau-Epsilon Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Tau-Epsilon was installed as a chapter on May 1, 1993.
Since 1899, Tau Kappa Epsilon has never had an exclusionary clause for membership. TKE does not judge men on their wealth, rank or honor, but instead on their personal worth and character.
Our mission is to "to aid men in their mental, moral, and social development for life." In essence, we build Better Men for a Better World.

In the years before the Boston Marathon bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev fell under the influence of a new friend, a Muslim convert who steered the religiously apathetic young man toward a strict strain of Islam, family members said.
Under the tutelage of a friend known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing and stopped studying music, his family said. He began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Jews controlled the world.
"Somehow, he just took his brain," said Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who recalled conversations with Tamerlan's worried father about Misha's influence. Efforts over several days by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha have been unsuccessful.
Tamerlan's relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding the motives behind his religious transformation and, ultimately, the attack itself. Two U.S. officials say he had no tie to terrorist groups.
Throughout his religious makeover, Tamerlan maintained a strong influence over his siblings, including Dzhokhar, who investigators say carried out the deadly attack by his older brother's side, killing three and injuring 264 people.
"They all loved Tamerlan. He was the eldest one and he, in many ways, was the role model for his sisters and his brother," said Elmirza Khozhugov, 26, the ex-husband of Tamerlan's sister, Ailina. "You could always hear his younger brother and sisters say, 'Tamerlan said this,' and 'Tamerlan said that.' Dzhokhar loved him. He would do whatever Tamerlan would say.
"Even my ex-wife loved him so much and respected him so much," Khozhugov said. "I'd have arguments with her and if Tamerlan took my side, she would agree: 'OK, if Tamerlan said it.'"
Khozhugov said he was close to Tamerlan when he was married and they kept in touch for a while but drifted apart in the past two years or so. He spoke to the AP from his home in Almaty, Kazakhstan. A family member in the United States provided the contact information.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a police shootout Friday. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, and he could face the death penalty if convicted.
"Of course I was shocked and surprised that he was Suspect No. 1," Khozhugov said, recalling the days after the bombing when the FBI identified Tamerlan as the primary suspect. "But after a few hours of thinking about it, I thought it could be possible that he did it."
Based on preliminary written interviews with Dzhokar in his hospital bed, U.S. officials believe the brothers were motivated by their religious views. It has not been clear, however, what those views were.
As authorities try to piece together that information, they are touching on a question asked after so many terrorist plots: What turns someone into a terrorist?
The brothers emigrated in 2002 or 2003 from Dagestan, a Russian republic that has become an epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from the region of Chechnya.
They were raised in a home that followed Sunni Islam, the religion's largest sect. They were not regulars at the mosque and rarely discussed religion, Khozhugov said.
Then, in 2008 or 2009, Tamerlan met Misha, a slightly older, heavyset bald man with a long reddish beard. Khozhugov didn't know where they'd met but believed they attended a Boston-area mosque together. Misha was an Armenian native and a convert to Islam and quickly began influencing his new friend, family members said.
Once, Khozhugov said, Misha came to the family home outside Boston and sat in the kitchen, chatting with Tamerlan for hours.
"Misha was telling him what is Islam, what is good in Islam, what is bad in Islam," said Khozhugov, who said he was present for the conversation. "This is the best religion and that's it. Mohammed said this and Mohammed said that."
The conversation continued until Tamerlan's father, Anzor, came home from work.
"It was late, like midnight," Khozhugov said. "His father comes in and says, 'Why is Misha here so late and still in our house?' He asked it politely. Tamerlan was so much into the conversation he didn't listen."
Khozhugov said Tamerlan's mother, Zubeidat, told him not to worry.
"'Don't interrupt them,'" Khozhugov recalled the mother saying. "'They're talking about religion and good things. Misha is teaching him to be good and nice.'"
As time went on, Tamerlan and his father argued about the young man's new beliefs.
"When Misha would start talking, Tamerlan would stop talking and listen. It upset his father because Tamerlan wouldn't listen to him as much," Khozhugov said. "He would listen to this guy from the mosque who was preaching to him."
Anzor became so concerned that he called his brother, worried about Misha's effects.
"I heard about nobody else but this convert," Tsarni said. "The seed for changing his views was planted right there in Cambridge."
It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has spoken to Misha or was attempting to.
Tsarnaev became an ardent reader of jihadist websites and extremist propaganda, two U.S. officials said. He read Inspire magazine, an English-language online publication produced by al-Qaida's Yemen affiliate.
Tamerlan loved music and, a few years ago, he sent Khozhugov a song he'd composed in English and Russian. He said he was about to start music school.
Six weeks later, the two men spoke on the phone. Khozhugov asked how school was going.
"I quit," Tamerlan said.
"Why did you quit?" Khozhugov asked. "You just started."
"Music is not really supported in Islam," he replied.
"Who told you that?"
"Misha said it's not really good to create music. It's not really good to listen to music," Tamerlan said, according to Khozhugov.
Tamerlan took an interest in Infowars, a conspiracy theory website. Khozhugov said Tamerlan was interested in finding a copy of "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," a piece of anti-Semitic literature claiming a Jewish plot to take over the world.
"He never said he hated America or he hated the Jews," Khozhugov said. "But he was fairly aggressive toward the policies of the U.S. toward countries with Muslim populations. He disliked the wars."
One of the brothers' neighbors, Albrecht Ammon, recently recalled an encounter in which Tamerlan argued about U.S. foreign policy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and religion.
Ammon said Tamerlan described the Bible as a "cheap copy" of the Quran, used to justify wars with other countries.
"He had nothing against the American people," Ammon said. "He had something against the American government."
Khozhugov said Tamerlan did not know much about Islam beyond what he found online or what he heard from Misha.
"Misha was important," he said. "Tamerlan was searching for something. He was searching for something out there."

Clearly Contacts Exchange
If you've been wearing clearly for a long time and you are sick of the annual check-ups at your optometrist because you know that your prescription has changed, yet again, and you are in need of a new pair of prescription clearly. This probably upsets you and it's an understandable feeling. Unfortunately, this is a fact of life – eyesight deteriorates earlier for some, and faster than others Clearly Contacts Exchange
While your eyes can start deteriorating at any time, you don't want to be stuck wearing an outdated pair of frames with old prescription lenses. Although wearing clearly with the wrong prescription will not damage your eyes, it can cause some very unpleasant side effects that are really not worth suffering through just to save a few dollars on buying new clearly. Just think, how would you like to suffer from nausea, headaches, blurred vision, strained eyes, dizziness and vertigo? Aside from making you feel sick; these side effects can also prove dangerous if you are in a situation such as driving, carrying glass or hot beverages, handling machinery and so on. Your reluctance to buy new glasses and suffer the side effects instead, can cause harm, not only to yourself but to others as well Clearly Contacts Exchange
Incidentally, Clearly Contacts Exchange even without a formal trip to your eye doctor, these side effects will be your first clear indication that your eyesight is waning and that you need a new, stronger optical solution. If you are stubborn enough to continue wearing your old prescription clearly, the symptoms of nausea, dizziness and headaches may reduce, or even completely disappear; however, the blurred vision and eye strain would remain because you aren't seeing properly and the lenses are no longer compensating for your loss in optical strength.
Similarly, when you begin to age and your eyesight begins to change, you will not be able to continue wearing regular prescription clearly when you actually need multifocal glasses. If not corrected with the appropriate prescription strength, you will continue to strain your eyes and suffer from these other unpleasant symptoms.
When you decide to give in and invest in clearly for the sake of your overall health, you should know that following a thorough eye examination, your eye doctor will have your most updated clearly prescription. This will allow you to get lenses made with the correct prescription strength to fit your vision difficulties and allow you to see as you should.
You should keep in mind that the first time you put on your new pair of clearly, you will feel a bit dizzy and nauseous. This is because you eyes will need a few short moments to adjust to their new advanced vision. If, after an hour or two, you still feel these negative symptoms, then it is a sure sign that the lenses were not manufactured exactly according to your prescription and they will need to be changed.
This, however, is a little bit different in the case of multifocal glasses. With these, the adjustment process is a little bit more difficult as there is an optical jump within the lenses that take some getting used to. This adjustment period could take a while, but they usually normalize within 72-hours. Some have even reported a month or more, however, in the end, there is no doubting that your visual needs will be completely taken care of Clearly Contacts Exchange
Should you be suffering from any of the above-mentioned side effects, or you have already visited your eye doctor and your updated clearly prescription dictates the need for new frames, do not hesitate! Get eyeglass frames that will give you the perfect sight that you deserve! It is not a waste of money; it's a favor that you do for yourself, to enjoy your health and your life Clearly Contacts Exchange

from 723 reviewsLove the entire look of this candle. So into this new retro vibe. I watched the video you did with kids smelling the candles and I had to try this one based on the little girls reaction. She has good taste, as I LOVE this scent. Will you be making this in a larger size? As I want more. It filled my entire room up and I cannot get enough of it.
I am very pleased with the 2 sets of No Hablo I ordered. It was an inappropriate phrase my secretary and I would use years ago in private. She's coming to visit in a few weeks so I bought one for her and one for me.
I am impressed that each set has 2 metal straws and a cleaner brush for the straws included.
These were perfect! Thanks again.. I have some of these sitting at my desk at work and I gifted some to my grandmother.
Please note this review if for both sets of coasters I ordered from your shop.
I am super happy to have your coasters. I really love the red and white braided set. Their candy cane colors added just the right seasonal touch to my coffee table. They work perfectly and are very well made.
The blue and white ceramic set is up next for my wintry January color scheme decor. They are also going to be perfect as their colors are exactly as you pictured, and just what I wanted.
I am very appreciative of how quickly you got my order to me. Thank you so much. Count me in as a fan of your shop!
This is my 2nd purchase - first for my bathroom and then for all my guest bathrooms. Ships QUICKLY! She does an amazing job with her branding - when the package arrives, I feel like she's sending me a present - the presentation is beautiful!
The slate is top quality and was packaged extremely well with nice touches like ribbon, dried flowers, and a free gift of slate chalk. I also appreciated the handwritten note of thanks as well as the speedy delivery. I would absolutely purchase from Gia Roma again!!
Fresh, fun and fabulous! Five stars to Angela as well.
She has been wonderful to work with. Thank you so much Angela.

Saving this for December but I might now be able to wait. It smells soooo good! Cubes last for days!
Excellent transaction. As described, quick shipping, very pleased. Will certainly purchase from again!
These pumpkins arrived in a timely manner, beautifully packaged with a thank you note from the artist. I put them on my kitchen counter immediately, even though it is still 100° in Texas. These pumpkins are well-made and just perfect!
Gorgeous decor! The seller is also extremely gracious and kind. Will definitely be ordering more holiday items from this shop!
This skull is totally boho Halloween decor! I loved it the moment I saw it! The seller went above and beyond to check to see if more were available, and lucky for me, there was one left! I appreciate all that was to done for me to get this item, definitely recommend this seller! The package came quickly and packaged well so all in one piece! The skull looks just like a basket weave and is a nice size!
My kitchen towels were even better in person! The colors were deep and workmanship on the towels were exceptional. The presentation was beautiful with a ribbon tying them together with a sprig of eucalyptus attached! Exceed my expectations
WOW!! This shop went above and beyond with the packaging! I normally will unbox it to see what it looks like before i gift it but now i don't even want to. I am so happy with how cute this! Can't wait for my mom to open it on Christmas :))

About Jane Hogben Pottery
Jane Hogben has been making decorative terracotta pieces for the home and garden since she left the Central School of Art and Design in 1982.
In the autumn of 1991, Jane established her business, initially producing decorative terracotta, urns and flower pots for the garden. Ultimately the business evolved into the production of pottery for the home.
Jane has specialised in a technique known as sprigging a technique for decorating pottery with low relief shapes made separately from the main body and applied to it before firing. These are attached to a range of jugs, bowls and mugs, then hand-painted by Jane and her team. This type of technique dates back to Roman times
Inspiration for our designs comes from the garden, from Freddie, Jane's Fox Terrier and from walks in the beautiful countryside around the Chiltern Hills.
Handmade in Buckinghamshire
Due to the handmade nature of the pottery, expect individual items to have variations. The colours and detail of each item may vary, of course, adds to the individuality and charm of being handmade.
All pottery items are dishwasher safe.
Cornflower Mug – Cream – by Jane Hogben (UK) is now available from Finch & Lane Melbourne. We ship Jane Hogben pottery Australia wide.

You may be wondering, who buys cars for cash near me? At Wheelzy, we buy junk cars for cash and pay you on the spot! We've helped more than 200,000 customers happily sell their vans, trucks, or cars for cash throughout the Logan area.
Matthew J. Falkner (Kaysville, UT)
Jacob Payne (Salt Lake City, UT)
You can request cash for junk cars or a corporate check when scheduling that can be cashed same day, in full. You can verify funds before our driver leaves with the junk car. This also allows you to have a paper trail of your transaction with us. We do this for your safety to guarantee that my drivers come out with the exact amount that we agreed on. It ensures that we won't show up and haggle with you like other companies do. This is also for our driver's safety. We don't want them driving around Logan with a ton of cash in hand, since they're picking up several cars for cash in a day.
You may be asking yourself, "Who buys junk cars for cash anymore?" We do! We start off by asking you a couple of questions about your vehicle in order to get you cash for cars in Logan. Is it starting and driving? Is the junk car missing parts? Any major body damage? Do you have any paperwork under your name?
We then have our advanced pricing engine that takes all of this information and gets our customers the most cash for cars! Our cash for cars offers generated by our pricing engine are guaranteed!
Just be careful when you sell your car for cash in Logan on places like Craig's List. Wasting your time is one thing, but most private junk car buyers are looking to scam or hurt someone who isn't aware of how selling cars for cash should be. You would also need to make sure that the buyer will go to the DMV right after you sell your car for cash, to transfer the ownership. The only bad thing about that is if they don't, you can still be held legally liable for a car that you don't own anymore. Keep in mind, we cover all the title transfer paperwork, free towing in Logan, and a 100% guaranteed offer.
Wheelzy is completely free to use the entire time and never charges any fees. We offer the best incentives to make selling your car for cash in Logan smooth and easy. We provide fair offers that don't change, we pick up your junk car for free anywhere in America, and we even take care of the paperwork for you at no charge. See what our customers are saying about what makes Wheelzy the best cash for junk cars buyer. We've built connections nationwide throughout the auto industry that lets us offer our customers the most cash for cars.
You must be 18 years or older in order to sell cars for cash in Logan. We have many junk car buyers that buy cars for cash without a title. But in some instances, we will need the title or alternate proof of ownership in order to pay cash for junk cars, like a registration or insurance card. When completing your instant online offer, click on "No title" or "Alternate Paperwork". Our system will calculate your new offer so you can get cash for junk cars fast in Logan!
In need of more assistance to help junk cars for cash in Logan? Give us a call! One of our customer service representatives will be ready to help you sell your junk car for cash with no title.
If you're interested in obtaining a title to get the most cash for cars, see our Title Guide by State for more information on how to sell your car for cash with a title.
Laura Sanchez Nelson (South Jordan, UT)
Logan Larkin (Salt Lake City, UT)
Laykin Nielson (Salt Lake City, UT)
In most cases, junk cars for cash that are rusted out or have been sitting for years are recycled for their raw materials. The offer on the junk car for cash is calculated on its size and weight instead of whether the car is fully operational. If your junk car's condition is in better shape, we will resell your junk car in Logan. This is at your advantage because we can pay a lot more cash for your car. When you receive cash for your junk car, it will always depend on what kind of used car you're selling and what condition it is in.
We get questions from our customers all the time asking, "Do you pay cash for cars near me?" The answer is YES! We work nationwide and we buy junk cars for cash no matter their condition. Conditions such as paint wear from high heat, an irreparable transmission, deployed airbags, and even major rust are okay with us, we'll still pay you cash for cars!
Because you live in Utah, over the years many of these things may end up happening to your vehicle because of Logan's weather conditions. But that's okay! We've been doing this a long time and can still pay you cash for damaged cars. Now let's say your vehicle is nowhere near being inoperable, you are just tired and want some change, we would be more than happy to purchase your car for cash.

Federal funding for programs such as Title I, Head Start, students with disabilities, and higher-education research will remain intact—for now—after Congress approved an 11th-hour deal to avoid tumbling off the "fiscal cliff."
The extraordinary New Year's Day approval of a compromise bill hands President Barack Obama most of the tax boosts on the rich that he campaigned on. It also prevents House Republicans from facing blame for blocking tax cuts for most American households, though most GOP lawmakers parted ways with Speaker John Boehner and opposed the measure.
Passage also lays the groundwork for future battles between the two sides over federal spending and the national debt, as it puts off mandatory across-the-board cuts to domestic programs for a period of only two months.
Capping a holiday season political spectacle that featured enough high and low notes for a Broadway musical, the GOP-run House voted final approval for the measure by 257-167 late on Jan. 1. That came after the Democratic-led Senate used a wee-hours 89-8 roll call to assent to the bill, belying the partisan brinkmanship that colored much of the path to the final deal.
"A central promise of my campaign for president was to change the tax code that was too skewed towards the wealthy at the expense of working middle-class Americans," Obama said at the White House before flying to Hawaii to resume his holiday break. "Tonight we've done that."
(Next page: Details of the agreement)
The bill would boost the top 35 percent income tax rate to 39.6 percent for incomes exceeding $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples, while continuing decade-old income tax cuts for everyone else. In his re-election campaign last year, Obama had vowed to boost rates on earnings at somewhat lower levels—$200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for families.
Scores of GOP lawmakers voted for the measure, reversing a quarter-century of solid Republican opposition to boosting any tax rates at all.
The bill also would raise taxes that top earners pay on dividends, capital gains, and inherited estates; permanently stop the alternative minimum tax from raising levies on millions of middle-income families; extend expiring jobless benefits for another year; prevent cuts in Medicare reimbursements to doctors; and delay for two months billions in budget-wide cuts in defense, education, and other domestic programs slated for this year.
Both sides lamented their failure to reach a significant deficit-cutting agreement. But neither much mentioned another omission: The immediate expiration of a two-year, 2-percentage-point cut in the Social Security payroll tax.
That break, which put an extra $1,000 in the wallets of typical families earning $50,000 a year, was an Obama priority two years ago as a way to boost consumer spending and spark the flagging economy, but it fell victim this time to other priorities.
House Democrats voted by an overwhelming 172-16 for the agreement, which was crafted over the weekend by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Vice President Joe Biden.
But Republicans tilted against it, 151-85. It is rare for leaders to bring a bill to the House floor that will be opposed by most lawmakers from their own party, and the decision underscored the pressure GOP leaders felt to approve the legislation.
Boehner, R-Ohio, took no public stance on the measure before the vote. But he guided the compromise to the House floor after an unsuccessful attempt by many conservatives to persuade leaders to add spending cuts to the bill.
Had the House inserted those budget cuts and the Senate refused to consider them, the legislation could have died. That left House Republicans worried that voters might blame them for a huge, sweeping tax increase and for any swoon the nation's financial markets might take when they reopened Jan. 2.
"You can be right and you can be dead right. Which is it?" said Rep. Rich Nugent, R-Fla., of the quandary Republicans faced. "Right now, you need to take the tax issue off the table" and move on to a focus on curbing spending, he said.
Boehner voted for the bill, an unusual step because speakers seldom vote, and he was joined by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the GOP's vice presidential candidate last fall. Voting "no" were the other two top GOP leaders, Reps. Eric Cantor of Virginia and Kevin McCarthy of California.
Passage came nearly 24 hours after a decade's worth of tax cuts enjoyed by tens of millions of Americans expired with the stroke of the new year, technically raising taxes by more than $500 billion in 2013 alone.
Those tax increases—plus $109 billion in defense and domestic spending cuts that were to be automatically triggered on Jan. 2—became known as the fiscal cliff. Economists warned that their combined impact would hurl the economy back into recession, but Obama's signature on the bill would prevent the "fiscal cliff" from taking hold.
Obama can sign the bill remotely using a machine called an "autopen," or the bill can be flown to Hawaii for his signature.
Overall, the legislation would add nearly $4 trillion to federal deficits over the next decade, compared with what would have happened had all the tax cuts expired, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
"I'm embarrassed for this generation. Future generations deserve better," complained one foe, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.
The agreement's journey to passage was a tortured one. It included negotiations between Obama and Boehner on a larger, deficit-cutting deal that collapsed, and a failed effort by the speaker to drum up enough GOP votes to pass a "Plan B" that would have limited tax boosts to incomes exceeding $1 million.
It took weekend talks between McConnell and Biden, former Senate colleagues, to craft the more modest package that focused on averting the worst impacts of the fiscal cliff while postponing any deficit reduction efforts to coming months.
Those first showdowns will come over the next three months, when the government's legal ability to borrow money will expire and temporary financing for federal agency budgets will expire. Republicans have already said that, as they did in 2011, they will demand spending cuts as a condition for extending the debt ceiling.
(Next page: Reaction to the deal)
"Now the focus turns to spending" and overhauling the tax code, Boehner said in a written statement after the vote. He said the GOP will fight for "significant spending cuts and reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving our country deeper and deeper into debt," a reference to costly benefit programs like Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid.
In his White House remarks, Obama said that while he was open to compromise, he would demand deficit-cutting savings from added revenue on the well-off, not just spending cuts.
He also pointedly said he would "not have another debate with this Congress" over extending the federal borrowing limit.
"If Congress refuses to give the United States government the ability to pay these bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy would be catastrophic—far worse than the impact of a fiscal cliff," he said.
National education leaders were not available to comment on the fiscal cliff deal as of press time, but in a statement released before the House voted on the measure, the American Federation of Teachers endorsed the agreement.
"This agreement, while imperfect, provides critical and immediate relief to millions of families who were facing substantial tax increases, and it ensures that Americans still struggling to find work will continue to receive the unemployment benefits they need to support themselves and their families," said AFT President Randi Weingarten in a statement. "It also brings in needed revenue by asking the wealthiest Americans to pay more to strengthen and grow our economy."
She added: "As important as this relief is right now to the majority of Americans, this is a temporary, Band-Aid solution. Kicking the can down the road for two months means that we still face the possibility of staggering and debilitating cuts to public schools, health care, and services that our kids and families count on. Failure to avert these across-the-board cuts will cripple public services in communities across the nation, many of which are already barely recovering from the recent recession and state and local budget cuts; will make it harder for parents to afford child care and for students to afford college; will leave thousands of children hungry; and could plunge our economy back into recession."
Though its focus was on taxes, the measure approved Jan. 1 also would prevent a potential doubling of milk prices and prevent a $900 salary increase for members of Congress in March. Its extension of jobless benefits would help 2 million people out of work at least six months, and it would prevent a 27-percent cut in reimbursements that doctors get for treating Medicare patients.
Weighing in with criticism of the compromise were the chief authors of an influential bipartisan deficit-cutting proposal, former GOP Sen. Alan Simpson and Democrat Erskine Bowles, a former White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton. They called the measure "truly a missed opportunity to do something big to reduce our long-term fiscal problems."

This winter, a Wisconsin county is fighting icy roads with a homegrown product: liquid cheese brine. Tens of thousands of gallons of the stuff are used each year along with road salt, according to officials in Polk County.
The rural county (county seat: Balsam Lake) uses the cheese brine in "pre-wetting for snow and ice control," as Emil "Moe" Norby, technical support manager for the Polk County Highway Department, tells us. And he says the brine has a definite effect when it's mixed with regular road salt.
"It seems to make it go down to a lower freeze point," Norby says of the salt and cheese brine mixture, citing "better results at colder temperatures."
"During the winter I placed a 12-ounce container of the salt brine outside and found it did not freeze until we had two consecutive days of 21 degrees below zero," Norby wrote in an early appraisal.
There are other benefits, according to a study Norby conducted on test roads a few years ago. First, the brine helps salt stick to the roadway rather than bounce off. Second, it was found to speed melting. And its overall efficiency means the county uses less salt — and saves thousands of dollars.
"Depending on the amount of material being applied, the [salt] saved was 30 percent to 40 percent," according to the study's conclusion. The findings from those tests, conducted in the 2008-2009 winter, led the county to use cheese brine more widely.
If there's a drawback to the cheese brine, it may be the smell.
"It has a slight odor when you handle the product," Norby says. "If you were behind a snow plow, you'd immediately smelly it."
But that's a temporary issue, he says. And if you're wondering if the cheese brine rinses away clean along with the snow and ice – or leaves a sort of washed-rind cheese sheen on the roads — Norby says that hasn't been a problem, either.
"We found no residue or problems," he says. "It's worked very well for us."
Other towns and counties are taking notice. Milwaukee is trying the brine out this year, and the approach has attracted media interest outside the state, as well.
"It's piqued a lot of interest," Norby says.
Norby says that using the cheese brine – a byproduct from a nearby dairy – is a "win-win" for everyone involved: the brine makes a definite difference for the county and its drivers, and the supplier, , whose other products include mozzarella and provolone, doesn't have to pay to have the brine removed as a waste product.
And Polk County is using it by the tankful – at least 150,000 gallons in recent years.
"Last winter, we put down 38,000 gallons of it," Norby says.
They'll likely need as least that much this winter, which has sent large storms barreling through swaths of the U.S., disrupting traffic with sheets of ice and coats of snow. As Mark reported for the Two-Way earlier, today's headline is "Old Man Winter to drop bombogenesis" — a catchy name for the volatile weather system that's currently hitting areas of the eastern U.S.
