text: Farm Disasters Are Predictable Emergencies Bad things will happen, but the consequences of a 'predictable emergency' can be managed. Published on: Jun 19, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print By John Shutske Farming is chock-full of risk. Storms, fires, floods, droughts, and injuries fill newspapers every week and cost hundreds of millions in damage. While I worked on this article, I had a dairy farmer friend who experienced major damage from violent winds, and a big fire damaged two-thirds of a large Wisconsin organic milk cooperative. What should we do? Should we chalk it up to bum luck and resign ourselves to the phenomenon that "bad stuff just happens?" Bad things will happen – but the consequences of a "predictable emergency" can be managed. We often talk about disasters. But, disasters are usually the result of a predictable emergency gone awry. And, the biggest factor that determines whether or not an emergency becomes a disaster is a speedy response. On a farm, a response that occurs in minutes or hours versus days (or weeks) will mean the difference between a recoverable event, and a disaster that brings ruin. Farm Disasters Are Predictable Emergencies How do you prepare? How can you insure that you have done everything in your power to save precious time after something unexpected strikes? Here are steps that can make a huge difference. 1. Make a list of events that could cause harm to your faming business. This is a great exercise to engage family members or employees. Which are most likely? Which would cause the greatest damage? In Wisconsin, we often see floods, windstorms, fires, and other naturally-occurring and manmade events. 2. Pick one of these and talk through what an event might look like. Wind storms often cause a power outage. How would that affect your operation? How about the well-being of animals? Perhaps you would have damage to feed storage structures or animal housing. Maybe your house would be unlivable, though you'd still need a place to rest as you keep the farm going. Perhaps your computer system and financial records would be damaged or lost. Again, it's important to step through and imagine the consequences. These things do happen, and you'll want to be creative as you prepare. 3. Based on the outcomes you've imagined, make a list of the supplies needed immediately to recover and keep things operating. Examples include a generator, extra tools, fire extinguishers, gasoline, a backup feed and water supply, a small stockpile of building supplies, etc. As you think about supplies, consider items your family would need to survive for three days. It's hard to recover and get back on your feet without food, water, cooking supplies, lighting, and a source of heat. Even people in the city are encouraged to keep supplies on hand to be self-sufficient for 72 hours if they encounter an unexpected disaster! Your employees should be encouraged to do the same. ~~~PAGE_BREAK_HERE~~~ As you build up a supply stockpile, make sure they are securely stored and protected from rodents and insects. Be careful not to "part out" your supply cache. It does no good to stockpile food, batteries, tools, gasoline, etc. if they are all missing or "used up" when needed. 4. Similarly, think about the critical relationships you'd need to call upon if something bad happened. Maintain a list of phone numbers and contact information on paper and on your cell phone. Examples include the fire department, insurance agents, veterinarians and someone to help restore electricity or rebuild. Don't forget about children and others who need care. Make sure you've thought about who might care for them for a day or two while you're busy getting things back in order. Planning takes positive actions. If you pick a hazard or two and plan for it, you'll find that many actions will apply whether you're dealing with a fire, flood, blizzard, tornado, or even an animal disease outbreak. As a final note, don't forget about protecting vital business records and personal information. This includes financial data, photographs, and family memorabilia. Recovering from a burned building or a silo that's been blown off its foundation is something that your insurer and contractor can help you recover from. But, recovering forever-lost business records or items of sentimental value is impossible. Luckily, we now have ways to secure digital information in alternative formats off-site or in the "cloud," making recovery a mere inconvenience instead of a life-changing and sad event. Take time NOW to prepare for the predictable. You'll be glad you did! Shutske is the associate dean and program director for Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension.

The easiest way in to Vespa ownership is a slow-going affair, but it looks great and is a reasonably practical machine.
124cc, 10bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
Now that the iconic Vespa PX series has been killed off by emissions laws, the LX twist-and-go four-stroke is just about the closest thing to the original Vespa look. Underneath the classic looks they're a modern scoot – and the pink scooter in our pictures is thankfully a limited edition colour!
244cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio X7 250 ie is halfway between a full-on maxi scooter and a lightweight city scooter, so in theory should offer comfort and a bit of class with some traffic busting ability. It manages it too – it feels substantial and quality but slices traffic like a 50cc scooter.

"Reports claim that Jim got fed up with Jenny's ongoing cajoling of him to help her career," Lieberman said. "But Jim has a history of being a commitment-phobe, so it could well be that he was just feeling smothered after so many years in the same relationship."
Perry said that the spilt may have more to do with McCarthy's priorities -- her son and her efforts to increase awareness about childhood autism.
"They were a wonderful duo," Perry said. "It sounds like this is a case of two big personalities that have priorities of their own going in opposite directions. Also, there have been rumors that Jim has been battling depression. McCarthy already has a son with special needs, and it sounds like she doesn't have the time to focus on him and his significant amount of needy attention."
Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes
In a case of life imitating art, Winslet and Mendes broke up after he directed her in the critically acclaimed dark tale of marriage gone wrong, "Revolutionary Road."
After seven years together, the couple, both Oscar-winners, announced the split in late March through a statement released jointly by their lawyers.
"Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year," the statement read. "The spilt is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement."
Perry said that the couple was pulled apart by their career aspirations.
"Part of what led to the split was that Sam wanted Kate's career to take a backseat while he worked on some projects," Perry said, "to which she obviously said no. They genuinely respect each other, and I think they are just both ambitious people. You can't both be No. 1."
Kim Kardasian and Reggie Bush
With both Kardasian and Bush being so young, it makes sense that this wasn't a relationship that was going to last forever.
The pair had spilt before, but this breakup, announced in late March, seems to have been the nail in the coffin.
The two seemed happy and partied together when Bush's team, the New Orleans Saints, won the Super Bowl. The two even vacationed in Costa Rica in early March.
Since they parted ways, Bush has been partying in New York City, and Kardasian has just finished shooting the second season of "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami."
Perry said that the young stars have opposite schedules.
"They are both working and touring in different places," Perry said. "They are both stars and they both probably have big egos, which we know doesn't work. They had issues, but they gave it a good shot."
Lieberman said that the spilt probably has more to do with Kardasian's obsession with the spotlight.
"Kim and Reggie's relationship seemed like it was more about Kim wanting to parade him for the cameras than a deep love," Lieberman said. "Apparently, her obsession with the Hollywood scene has turned him off. He's said that the kind of wife he wants to settle down with would be more of a support system for him, rather than someone who is so ambitious for herself."
Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins
This longtime Hollywood couple surprised the world with the announcement of their breakup before Christmas. Though they split last summer, the news of their parting after 23 years continues to reverberate.
"Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins, have announced that they separated over the summer," Sarandon's rep Teal Cannaday said in a statement to ABCNews.com. "No further comments will be made."

Mayor Brown Outlines 'Grand Forks Promise' at State of the City AddressGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Mayor Michael Brown described what he calls the "Grand Forks promise" in his 10th State of the City address Wednesday afternoon.
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Mayor Michael Brown described what he calls the "Grand Forks promise" in his 10th State of the City address Wednesday afternoon.
The mayor highlighted the past year's accomplishments and future challenges.
More than 450 people gathered at the Alerus Center to hear Mayor Brown's speech.
He calls the speech an assessment of where we are and where we can be. His speech focused on the five pillars of the Grand Forks promise.
"A safe community, an affordable place to live and do business, a committment to young people, rich cultural and health experiences and opportunities to be engaged," Brown said.
He calls those the five pillars the foundation of the Grand Forks promise.
"Simply put, the Grand Forks promise enables every resident, business, family or organization the opportunity to grow."
Brown says that growth is apparent in the past year.
"In 2011 we had the second highest construction year on record. Total construction was up 175 percent," Brown said. "This month's sales tax revenue was the second highest ever. And for the second time we collected more than $2 million."
The city has seen growth in business, new construction and job opportunities over the past year. But Brown says the city has challenges that lie ahead.
"We as a whole community need to revisit how we approach housing. Not just affordable housing, although that's a critical element, but the entire spectrum of housing. We have needs expressly for the air force base families needs for the maturing populations and needs for our growing workforce," Brown said.
Brown says Grand Forks needs to continue to strive to be a destination city. He says the city's promise sets it apart.
"What is the quality of life? Every community can claim they have a great quality of life, but does anyone define what really that means? We do. Our quality of life is the Grand Forks promise," Brown said.
Mayor Brown gave the first state of the city speech ten years ago with 150 people in attendance so the crowds have grown. Wednesday's was the largest yet.

Promega Corporation, 2800 Woods Hollow Rd, Madison, WI 53711
CYP3A4 enzyme induction and inhibition by drugs and other xenobiotics is a significant cause of adverse drug-drug interactions. To predict the potential for these outcomes early in drug discovery, compounds are tested for their capacity to induce or inhibit conversion of a probe substrate to a specific product by the CYP3A4 enzyme. A new, highly selective and sensitive CYP3A4 probe substrate, luciferin isopropyl acetal (Luciferin-IPA), was synthesized for use in rapid bioluminescent cell-based and cell-free CYP3A4 assays. Bioluminescent enzyme substrates are proluciferins that are converted by the enzymes of interest to a luciferin that is detected in a bioluminescent reaction with luciferase. This enables assays that correlate light output with target enzyme activity.
Out of 21 human CYP enzymes luciferin-IPA only showed activity with the CYP3A subfamily, having 14 and 161 fold selectivity for CYP3A4 over CYP3A5 and CYP3A7, respectively. Cell free luciferin-IPA enzyme assays were sensitive to inhibition by known CYP3A4 inhibitors and were readily configured for IC50 determinations using either recombinant CYP3A4 or human liver microsomes. CYP3A4 induction was measured in rapid, 96-well, human hepatocyte assays where activity was increased by known CYP3A4 inducers. The luciferin-IPA/CYP3A4 hepatocyte assay was easily configured in a multiplex application with a cell viability assay that provided a means for normalizing CYP enzyme activity to viable cell number. While luciferin-IPA/CYP3A4 induction and inhibition data was virtually identical to data from conventional CYP3A4 testosterone 6-b hydroxylation assays, the luminescent assays were simpler, more sensitive and substantially quicker. Luciferin-IPA assays enable early ADME screening with high throughput and rapid turn around times.

120 Years Later: A Look at the State of Zionism and the American Jewish Community
One hundred and twenty years since the most radical transformation of post-biblical Jewish life, the two predominate centers of Judaism face a fork in the road. The American Jewish secular community is rapidly losing the "glues" that held it together and now faces an unprecedented survival challenge. Meanwhile, Israel - founded as the Jewish State - is under mounting threat of losing its own Jewish identity.
This paper seeks to serve as basis for discussion, a platform from which issues and questions can be debated and developed. Views expressed are those of the authors and not of the AIFL.
Threat to the Secular American Jewish Community
The main Jewish immigration into the United States began to take shape about 120 years ago. Over 90% of American Jews came to the United States after 1890.
Upon arrival, most of them were religious, spoke Yiddish, and worked in a profession or occupation regarded as "Jewish." As a result, many Jews today aged 40 and over have known a grandparent who had such Jewish characteristics.
Today, however, the majority of American Jews are younger than the age of 40. For most of them, the shtetl, Yiddish and the Holocaust are primarily known from movies, textbooks and indirect accounts. In addition, the old binding force of religion has lessened. Surveys indicate that 84 per cent of American Jews do not regularly attend synagogue, 85 per cent do not keep kosher, and half do not marry a Jewish spouse.
The life of the young secular American Jew is culturally similar to the American non-Jew, as manifested in social networks, circle of friends, and culture. He or she is not so much a Jew who happens to live in America as an American who happens to be Jewish. Moreover, traditional lines between what were regarded as Jewish and non-Jewish professions and firms are now significantly diminished.
The bonding through some form of Jewish affiliation, such as membership in a Jewish organization, has survived, but such affiliation is not necessarily a key factor in Jewish priorities. Membership is easy and non-exclusive. The secular Jew is also often a member of a social or country club, alumni association, and professional association. Somewhere in this hierarchy of priorities the secular Jew may also be a member of a synagogue.
Rabbi David Posner of Temple Emmanuel, American's flagship Reform congregation, underscores the above transformation when asked why do his congregates come to synagogue once a year on the holiday of Yom Kipur: "The reason they are coming is to hear what I have to say. I talk about religion, about Philosophy. It is a radically different experience from what they do everyday."
Just like with other immigrant groups, affiliation out-survives a distinct community and not necessarily indicative of the centrality of the connection.
Historical Glues Holding the Jewish Community Together
The Jews through the first 1,800 years of exile were bonded together primarily by religion. Splinter groups throughout history that abandoned religion have vanished.
A second commonality has been discrimination against the Jews, which has been prevalent throughout their history. Assimilation, for the most part, was simply not an option. One could even argue that anti-Semitism was a primary enabler of Jewish survival.
In the 19th century, secularization, emancipation and mass migration changed these two things and weakened the connection between Jews. But two defining events in the 20th century tended to unite the Jews. One came in the form of the tragedy that defined Judaism: the Holocaust, in which all streams of Judaism were lumped together into a systematic campaign of genocide. The other came in the form of revival: Zionism gained steam, and Jews came together to support the Jewish State.
Suddenly, a growing group of Jews start defining themselves in terms of Israel, rather than religion. Furthermore, consistent with the time's revolutionary philosophies, the Zionistic leaders sought to create a "New Jew": A fighter and pioneer that would have no resemblance to the "Old Jew," who was poor, weak, miserable, and victimized.
Replacement American Glue
In the 1920's, as the Jews in Israel reinvigorated Judaism, the majority of American Jews were living in the "ghetto" and spoke Yiddish as their primary language. 60% of them were born outside the US.
Yet as the 20th Century progressed, many American Jews rapidly left the ghetto life behind them and became successful: Entrepreneurs turned family businesses into national enterprises, assimilated into social and cultural life, and pursued the American Dream. Some retained their religious way of life; others who became secular remained involved in the Jewish community through a variety of Jewish social, political, and philanthropic bodies.
The exit from the restraints of the ghetto is no doubt a great American story, a great Jewish Story. But it came at a price: the abandonment of the Jewish glues, those stayed behind in the ghetto.
To address the void created by increased secularization, the absence of discrimination and fading Jewish culture, the American Jews over the last 60 years connected through two new substitute glues:
1. Memory of the Holocaust: The Holocaust is most significant "Jewish issue" that united the Jews in the second half of the 20th century and continues to unite Jews today. The Holocaust, its lessons and memories, drive Jewish organizational policy and dominate the community ethos. The most Jewish topic depicted by Hollywood is the Holocaust (there are more movies about the Holocaust than about all other Jewish issues combined). And the most common theme of Jewish museums is the Holocaust.
2. Nostalgia for Ashkenazi/Eastern European roots: The second American Jewish glue was the culture of Yiddish, the shtetl and gefilte fish. With the "grandmothers generation" alive, the American Jews united around the cultural symbols of their previous point of domicile.
Unsurprisingly, the American Jew looks at its ancestral "Old Jew" through a lens similar to that of the American Italian who looks at its ancestral Italians or the America Irish who looks at those from Ireland: In terms of home-country, in terms of "where we came from". With Nostalgia and even pride.
There was never a divorce from the past. While an early theme of the Israeli Jewish immigrant was "Negation of the Diaspora," the American Jewish immigrant "Embraced the Diaspora." While the Israeli Jews rebelled and created a "New Jew," the American Jews brought the shtetl with them to the Lower East Side.
The Drying Up of the American Glue
The good news for the American Jewish secular community is that in the last 60 years, The memory of the Holocaust and the nostalgia to Eastern European roots successfully replaced the fading glues of religion and discrimination.
The bad news is that in the next few decades, these glues will inevitably fade: the memories of the Holocaust will not be as acute when the survivors die out; and nostalgia for the old Jewish life will diminish once the Jewish "grandmothers" will pass away (and will take their associated Yiddish/shtetl/gefilte fish culture with them).
As of today, there are no substitutes for these glues, and therefore a large vacuum is expected to emerge – one which represents an existential threat for the secular American Jewish community.
With all of this, two options are possible: Either the vacuum will immediately be replaced by a new glue, or the secular Jewish community will dissolve within a few decades.
Rabbi Posner does not know what that new glue is, but is confident it would be found: "I have nothing but optimism and a very rosy outlook. That is because God always takes care of us. There is a special mysterious plan. The American Jews will prevail because God will make us prevail."
Israel's Jewish Debate
The State of Israel, founded on the Zionist ideology of creating a homeland for the Jewish people, exists today as it has for the past 64 years as an implementation of that ideology.
This very notion is now being challenged through a latent cold battle of narratives that is taking shape within Israel: Is Israel still the homeland for the Jewish people or is Israel home for the Israelis.
The incumbent narrative is of Israel as homeland for the Jewish People. After all, there were no "Israelis" 120 years ago. The population that was transplanted to Israel were Jews reestablishing their homeland.
The competing narrative would argue that while it is true that the Israelis came from the Jews, they have now established a new, distinct culture and their Jewish connection is primarily historical. Israel today, according to such narrative, is simply like any country in the world, a homeland for its citizens rather than a group of people united by religion. (Citizens can be Jews or Arabs, religious or secular, but certainly not those living outside Israel or those who wish to immigrate from the Diaspora).
This debate reflects social and cultural movements within Israeli society that is being argued in multiple and expanding arenas. The ramifications of such change are immense, likely resulting in both a tangible schism between Israelis and Jews outside of Israel, as well as threatening the basic Zionistic being.
Israel today is an energetic society. Smaller than New Jersey, it is a high-tech superpower (more Israeli companies trade on the NASDAQ than any other country other than US and Canada), as well as a center for art, culture, tourism, and producer of more Nobel laureates per capita than any other nation.
Israel is also home to the Israelis, 7 million people who live a dynamic and vibrant life, exercising creativity, embroiled in fierce debate and dedicated to their community, family and country.
But who are these Israelis? In the first two decades of its existence the majority of Israel's citizens were born outside of Israel and prior to the establishment of the country, but by today, 88% of Israelis were born after Israel was founded. This "silver platter" generation is for the first time in control of Israel's centers of power. (Benjamin Netanyahu is the first prime minister born after 1948).
From Diaspora Roots to Israelis
The idea of Israel was dreamed up and crafted almost entirely in and by the Diaspora: Jews in the Diaspora created the idea of Zionism - not the Jews living in Palestine - and Diaspora Jews developed it, advocated for it diplomatically and financed it (Herzl was in Israel only once). The Diaspora Jews were the source of people who returned to their ancestral homeland to build and fight for the establishment of the country.
Following the 1948 founding of the country, waves of Jewish immigration arrived, primarily from Europe and North Africa/Middle East. The rapid multiculturalism of the time was united by one thing only: Judaism. There was no other reason for a Moroccan, European refugee or Russian farmer to move to Israel except for one thing: Israel was the new homeland of the Jewish People.
Sixty years later, however, this has changed. Chen Liberman, an Israeli-born, US-educated reporter for Israeli Entertainment TV explains how she identifies with Judaism: "My Judaism is coincidental. It is not my primary title for self-definition. I'm part of that group by default and therefore I do observe major traditional events such as Passover dinner."
It became apparent that for some in this new generation of Israelis, religious background is no longer providing the foundation of their self-identification. At best, a secondary identity value. Similarly, it is increasingly evident that there is a growing rift between the interest and identity factors of Israelis and those of the Diaspora Jews. A few notable issues have emerged over the last few years. They include Israel's rejection of non-orthodox Judaism (which as mentioned above, accounts for vast majority of American Jews), and the populist wave of criticism against foreign owners of apartments in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem (resulting in Jerusalem mayor sending a letter to those owners urging them to rent out their luxury vacation homes to students – a letter that was viewed as coming from "Big Brother" and offensive by many of the Diaspora Jewish homeowners). Israeli popular culture, often mocks American Jews as too religious and naive, and when posed with such question, many young Israelis answer that they feel stronger identity and closeness to an Israeli Arab than to an American Jew.
Just as the America-Jew assimilates to to the dominant American culture, so does the Israeli-Jew assimilates to the dominant Israeli culture. Therefore, some argue that just like the hyphenated American-Jew is now becoming pure American, so is the hyphenated Israeli-Jew becoming pure Israeli.
The seeds for that movement were laid in the 1950's by a radical group of intellectuals called the Canaanites - with the establishment of Israel, they no longer view themselves as Jews, but only as Israeli. That group was marginalized in the patriotic and close-knit community of the time.
But what was radical and negligible in the 1950s has now gradually become more acceptable. A group of neo-Canaanites have developed in Israel in the 21st century. The presence of this group casts a greater shadow than their actual numbers, given their concentration in Tel Aviv, Israel's non-governmental centers of power and the media. Hence the shaping of a latent cold battle of narratives: Is Israel still the homeland for the Jews - or the homeland of the Israelis?
Not withstanding its traditional military existential threats, this battle of narrative is likely to become Israel's primary front in its war of survival.
So Where is Zionism?
About 120 years ago, a group of 200 Jews from 17 countries got together in Basel, Switzerland at the first Zionist Congress, and began an audacious journey – gathering the Jews from their various Diaspora countries and resettling them back in Israel. This was met with fierce resistance, not just from outside forces, but primarily from within the Jewish community. Yet 60 years later, in 1948, that ambitious dream was turned into reality.
Another 60 years have passed, and once again Zionism is met with growing resistance, both from outside of Israel and increasingly from inside.
The themes that accompanied the early years collide with certain current Israeli realities. A feeling of "now what?" has emerged. Without addressing this and redefining Zionism, the original narrative might lose its battle with the strengthening post-Zionist narratives. An urgency emerges to craft Zionism 2.0.
Possible Mutual Solution
Jewish continuity faces an existential threat originating from both sides of the ocean. But a symbiotic mutual solution is possible.
Israel can become the new glue that binds together and preserves the new secular American Jewish community. American Jews must let Israel take center-stage in their identity. Replace the dying gefilte fish culture with the vibrant Israel. For this to happen, Israel must make some serious changes with respect to its relation with the Diaspora.
Israel must incorporate the Diaspora into Zionism 2.0. This would be a complete reversal from previous Israeli themes of "negating the Diaspora," aggressively advocating aliya and seeking rapid "Israelization" of new-comers.
Israel must be prepared to become less "pure-Israeli" and more open to others. While preserving its distinctive, great culture, Israel should take account of the realities of the 21st Century that have flattened communication and made the world more broadly standardized and accessible.
This is easier to do now than in the past: The Israeli and the Diaspora Jew have many more touchpoints in 2012 than they had two decades ago. Birthright not only enables young American Jews to visit Israel en masse, but also provides an opportunity for Israelis to interact with Americans. Similarly, the number of Israelis studying abroad has mushroomed, and the Israeli successful high-tech industry has led a large number of Israelis to routinely travel and immerse themselves in international business practices. Globalization and social networks allow the American and the Israeli to be much more in touch than they were prior to the 21st century.
In addition, Tel Aviv is advancing to become one of world's top cities for art, beaches, culture, bars and cafes. The city was recently rated #3 in Lonely Planet's top 10 Cities. Jerusalem's urban revival through investment in infrastructure and its increasing international population is turning it into a NGO and policy mecca - on top of it being the spiritual capital of the world.
Israel can leverage these two international cities to attract not just Jewish tourists and part-time residents, but non-Jews alike. Programs like Youth Ambassador Student Exchange (YASE), which have sent hundreds of non-Jewish High School students to Israel and visa-versa enables a greater grassroots connectivity between Americans as a whole and the people of Israel. Given the patterns discussed above, the more non-Jewish Americans that visit Israel, the easier it is for the American Jew to embrace Israel.
Recognizing that the world is increasingly moving to a "global cloud," legacy issues of dual loyalty that deterred Jews from closeness to Israel in the 20th century should all but disappear. (For example, Boris Johnson, mayor of London and possible future contender for UK Prime Minister, was until recently an American Citizen).
Stronger ties between American Jews and Israel can add longevity to both Jewish societies. Moreover, it would reverse-transplant to Israel not just more Jewish tradition, but also American values and global professional standards.
In this way, some of the intermarriage dialogue that is so prevalent in the Jewish community could shift from being about American Jews marrying non-Jews, to being about American Jews marrying Israeli Jews.
The fork in the road provides a warning sign, but it is also provides a rare opportunity to capitalize on the Golden Age in which Jews are currently living. Creating the right redefinitions to culture and religion could assure the symbiotic survival of both the secular American Jewish community and of the Jewish state of Israel.

Thump thump, thump thump..... Tech says this happens when barrels are dry??? I insisted on buying Kenmore appliances from Sears when I bought a home a couple of months ago. Three of the six machines were unsatisfactory, unlike previous Kenmores I've had over the years. Would have been ok if customer service would have addressed the concerns in a timely manner and replaced the appliances. No longer loyal to Kenmore and Sears. So sad!

I have been very pleased with this dryer. Dries quickly, and I like the refresh cycle....so helpful when I've forgotten about a load too long I would prever that this dryer hooked up to a hose for the steam option, but I could see how having the manual refill bin would be preferrable to some. The bin does save on the cost of additional installation hoses.

I have used dryer for over a week now, all I can say is wow you can fit so much into this dryer. I'm a larger guy and I can fit 22 of my XXL shirts into 1 load no problem. Items come out dryer spun out so well the dryer typically only run for 20-30 mins tops saving so much time and money. This unit handles a king size comforter without any issue what so ever. The dryer also has true steam (steam generator) unlike Samsung that just has water mist thats sprayed into the dryer while the dryer is running a lot of other brands use that method (not true steam)

Only gripe is a bit of squeaking when you bump the dryer, or when it handling a larger load.

I've used a Samsung Washer/Dryer stack combo for a while no, but, this dryer seems to be quieter I'm not big on digital controls as the sensors start going out on them,,, but we'll see how that works with Kenmore. Overall great purchase well worth the money easy to assemble and set up no complaints there. Just wish it cost less :) but you get what you pay for!

This Place is closed and most of the negative reviews on here were fake. They were done by disgruntled employees that didn't want to do the Groupons they originally wanted to do.
Overall I wouldnt reccomend this place – When we first arrived it seemed like a very nice place. The staff were friendly and the decor is very relaxing. I went with my mother and we were side by side getting our manicures. My manicure was started 10 minutes before hers, but she somehow managed to get done before me. Our manicures were done completely different. Then we went to get our pedicures. The room they take you in was very nice and the chocolate wine was a welcome treat. The manicure itself not so much. The girl that did my pedicure managed to file so hard on one of my toes that she caused it to bleed. No apologies were given. After we left I was looking at my manicure and I was not impressed. The second layer of polish was very noticeable since it stopped midway down my nails. The place has promise but the employees need more experience especially for the prices that they are charging. There also needs to be a consistancy (sp) between the employees.
HORRIBLE! Full Set Pink & White Nail Job – Based on the reviews, I decided to give this place a try. I had a wedding that I was attending that weekend and I scheduled for a Full Set Pink & White nail job. I usually have my nails done at a regular nail salon, but this time I decided that I would treat myself to a spa salon, figuring that I would get the utmost treatment.
When I arrived I was greeted with a friendly smile and hello by the receptionist, Rachel. She took me back and said that she'd be doing my nails for today. Although she was a very nice girl. In my opinion, she had no idea what she was doing.
1) She never pushed back my cuticles. It's only been 3 days and I already need them to be filled.
2) She never preped my natural nails before placing the Gel on top.
3) The tips that were put on my nails were sized incorrectly. The tips on my left hand did not match the tips on my right. One was glued on so crooked that I had to ask her to re-do it.
4) The final clear coat polish that was applied to my nails started to chip the very next day.
Besides the horrible nail job from Rachel, The owner Regina was very unprofessional and was talking on the phone the entire time as she was doing the nails for the woman who sat next to me. She was very loud and acted like a child.
I spent way too much money for the service that I received. Next time I'll just go to the hole in the wall nail salon up the street from my house. They may not speak English, But Atleast I'll know that I'll be getting my monies worth there.
Would love to know but don't yet – I had an appointment scheduled for a Wednesday to get a mani/pedi for a wedding that weekend. I was called Tuesday to be told I could not have my appointment because the person I was scheduled with could not make the appointment. Then I was told I could not come in until later in the week. Well excuse me, I guess I will be at your beck and call. When I explained this date was not flexible because of the wedding no efforts were made to get me in on the day I needed. I understand things come up, but I didn't really get an apology. I was treated as if my appointment was an inconvenience because now it has to be cancelled. I hope when I actually do get to go in for my appointment at some point the experience is better than what I have seen so far. It is very unprofessional to call someone the day before a spa appointment and tell them it is cancelled.
Wonderful Spa – Polish is a relaxing beautiful place. The staff are all very friendly and helpful! Regina is the best and does awesome work! I would definitely recommend everyone to go to Polish for a relaxing spa experience.
Great Day Spa – I love this day spa. The expansion in October looks great. I see the ex employee fake review on Aug 4th still hasn't been removed. That is absolutely awful. This Day Spa is definitely a place to try. Don't miss out. I love the attention to detail and my services are always great. I get the Shellac and Axxium no chip manicure all the time. I like that they have them both so I have more color choices. If you want to be pampered and enjoy yourself I highly recommend going.
dirty spa and unprofessional people – My friend and I went to this "spa" and were scared when we opened the door. Not only did they have a little dog yapping at us when we came in but the whole place was dirty. Dust everywhere, the floors were dirty and the trash was over flowing. I went into the bathroom and they had a used dog pee pad in there! How gross!
My friend got a brazillian wax and during her service the "owner" kept coming in the room to ask the waxer questions with no regard to what was being done. She felt very uncomfortable and was very upset when she left.
I had my nails done by Regina and it was the worst experience. she is VERY UNPROFESIONAL! She kept stopping what she was doing to text and talk on her phone. I feel that when I am in a "spa environment" I should be relaxed. I certainly was not and neither was my friend.
I would NEVER go back, even if you payed me!! I dont reccommend anyone going either.
Please Karri. It was this behavior and lies that made the decision to let you go. I still have huge respect for your talents as an employee but this behavior is horrible to lie and try to ruin my business. For what because you are mad because I won't allow you to have these violent out burst and continue to work for us. I truly would have never believed you were this kind of person. I really liked you and like I said when you cursed me , You are better than this behavior. Please stop.
Cozy Day Spa – I loved going to this day spa. I felt very comfortable getting all my services done in a relaxed atmosphere. My face was glowing after my treatments. I loved my hair after I went with the stylist's recommendation. And to finish my spa day, I got my nails and toes done! Love it!
Hey Let us just say, your make over was breathtaking. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of it. You are Beautiful. Anytime you need us, we are here and look forward to polishing you again. Our Pleasure.
THE BEST SPA !!!!!!!!! – I was told about Polish from a friend, I will admit I was a little liery about trying them out,but I did and OMG it was the best ever. I had the best & most relaxing facial,I enjoyed it soooo much that I booked a bodywrap and scrub for the next day WOW!,I was also very impressed with the woman who work there,they were sooo friendly.
Thank you so much. We truly enjoyed having you here and for allowing us to polish you. Your kind words really make our day. Thank you again. See you soon. Sincerely,

Monotherapy BYETTA(R) (Exenatide) As Stand Alone TherapyPosted: Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Submitted to FDA for Stand-Alone Therapy in Q1 2008, studies show that exenatide can lower A1c 0.7 to 0.9 points as a monotherapy.
There are additional results from a study of patients with type 2 diabetes who were unable to achieve glycemic control through diet and exercise alone and were treated with either monotherapy (stand-alone) BYETTA(R) (exenatide) injection taken twice daily or placebo.
Study findings showed that patients treated with monotherapy exenatide showed statistically significant improvement in both A1C and weight loss with a lower incidence of nausea than in previous exenatide studies. Exenatide is indicated as adjunctive therapy to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are taking metformin, a sulfonylurea, a thiazolidinedione, a combination of metformin and a sulfonylurea, or a combination of metformin and a thiazolidinedione, but have not achieved adequate glycemic control.
In this 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study patients who received Byetta as a monotherapy reduced their A1C by 0.7 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points, respectively, from an average baseline A1C of 7.9 and 7.8 percent, respectively Sixty percent of the 5 mcg evaluable study participants and 61 percent of the 10 mcg evaluable study participants achieved or maintained an A1C of less than or equal to 7 percent at study end, a common target for good glucose control.
"Healthcare professionals and their patients with type 2 diabetes need a variety of treatment options to successfully manage the disease," said Jim Malone, M.D., Global Medical Director, Eli Lilly and Company. "These data are robust and show the important glucose lowering properties of BYETTA taken as monotherapy. If approved, this indication would give physicians the option to prescribe exenatide as a stand-alone treatment, which may allow for increased patient access to BYETTA."
Treatment with exenatide also resulted in a statistically significant lowering of fasting glucose concentrations for at endpoint compared with placebo. A statistically significant weight loss was also noted of -6.1 pounds (EXE 5 mcg) and -6.8 pounds (EXE 10 mcg) compared with -3.2 pounds for placebo. In an oral glucose tolerance test conducted in a subset of patients (N=104), two hour serum glucose excursion decreased while this measure increased (+4.5+/-14 mg/dL) in patients treated with placebo.
Fasting serum lipid profiles, including total cholesterol and high- and low-density lipoprotein, remained unchanged and blood pressure levels improved. Systolic blood pressure decreased from baseline to endpoint by -3.7+/-1.2 mm Hg in the 5 mcg exenatide group and also -3.7+/-1.2 mm Hg in the 10 mcg exenatide group (P=0.037; vs placebo), compared with -0.3+/-1.2 mm Hg for placebo (means +/- SEM). Diastolic blood pressure decreased from baseline to endpoint by -0.8+/-0.7 mm Hg in the 5 mcg exenatide group and -2.3+/-0.7 mm Hg in the 10 mcg exenatide group, compared with -0.3+/-0.7 mm Hg for placebo.
There was an incidence of reported nausea in both the 5 mcg and 10 mcg arms of 3 and 13 percent, respectively, which is a lower incidence than what was observed in previous studies, where exenatide has been used in combination with other diabetes therapies. There were no instances of severe hypoglycemia. The overall incidence of hypoglycemia was similar to that seen in studies where exenatide was used in conjunction with metformin only.

In the paper, published November 22 as an online-first publication in the journal Genes, Brain and Behavior, the researchers identified the hierarchical tree of CGG–TF networks that determine the patterns of genes expressed during brain development and found that some "master transcription factors" at the top level of the hierarchy regulated the expression of a significant number of gene groups.
Instead of a taking the approach that a single gene creates a single response, researchers used contemporary methods of data analysis, along with the Gordon supercomputer at the university's San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), to identify CGGs responsible for brain development which can be affected for treatment of mental disorders. The team found that these groups of genes act in concert to send signals at various levels of the hierarchy to other groups of genes, which control the general and more specific (depending of the level) events in brain structure development.
"We have proposed a novel, though still hypothetical, strategy of drug design based on this hierarchical network of TFs that could pave the way for a new category of pharmacological agents that could be used to block a pathway at a critical time during brain development as an effective way to treat and even prevent mental disorders such as ASD and schizophrenia," said lead author Igor Tsigelny, a research scientist with SDSC, as well as the university's Moores Cancer Center and Department of Neurosciences. "On a broader scale, these findings have the potential to change the paradigm of drug design."
