AMCON Distributing Company Reports Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share Of $10.44 For The Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011
AMCON Distributing Company ("AMCON") (NYSE AMEX:DIT), an Omaha, Nebraska based consumer products company is pleased to announce fully diluted earnings per share of $10.44 on net income available to common stockholders of $7.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. AMCON earned $3.62 per fully diluted share on net income available to common stockholders of $2.8 million for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.
"We are making solid progress toward all our strategic goals and are pleased with the results for the year. The integration of our new branch in Crossville, Tennessee is proceeding according to plan. Our new customer base in the Mid South region now has full access to AMCON's broad range of consumer products and services. In the coming year we are looking to work closely with these new customers to enhance their store presentation and bottom line," said Christopher H. Atayan, AMCON's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "One of the key reasons we were able to execute this transition so efficiently was the deep bench of talent we have on our management team. AMCON's operational strength and flexibility is a critical asset and something we are looking to deploy more in the future as we continue on the acquisition trail," noted Mr. Atayan.
Each of AMCON's business segments reported excellent years. The wholesale distribution segment reported revenues of $1.0 billion and operating income before depreciation and amortization of $19.5 million for fiscal 2011 and revenues and operating income before depreciation and amortization of $307.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011. The retail health food segment reported revenues of $37.8 million and operating income before depreciation and amortization of $3.8 million for fiscal 2011 and revenue of $9.3 million and operating income before depreciation and amortization of $0.8 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.

Biobanks have the potential to offer a venue for chronic disease biomarker discovery, which would allow for disease early detection and for identification of carriers of a certain predictor biomarker. To assess the general attitudes towards genetic research and participation in biobanks in the Long Island/Queens area of New York, and what factors would predict a positive view of such research, participants from the NSLIJ hospital system were surveyed.
Participants were recruited at six hospital centers in the NSLIJ system during the summers of 2009 and again in 2011 (n = 1,041). Those who opted to participate were given a questionnaire containing 22 questions assessing demographics, lifestyle and attitudes towards genetic research. These questions addressed individual participant's beliefs about the importance of genetic research, willingness to participate in genetic research themselves, and their views on informed consent issues.
Respondents took a generally positive view of genetic research in general, as well as their own participation in such research. Those with reservations were most likely to cite concerns over the privacy of their medical and genetic information. Those who were married tended to view genetic research as important, while those in the younger age group viewed it as less important. Prior blood donation of respondents was found to be a predictor of their approval for genetic research. Demographic factors were not found to be predictive of personal willingness to participate in genetic research, or of approval for the opt-out approach to consent.
While respondents were generally inclined to approve of genetic research, and those who disapproved did not do so based on an underlying moral objection to such research, there is a disconnect between the belief in the importance of genetic research and the willingness of individuals to participate themselves. This indicates a continued concern for the ways in which genetic materials are safeguarded once they are collected. Also indicated was a general lack of understanding about the various consent processes that go along with genetic research, which should be addressed further to ensure the successful continuation of biobanks.
Biological specimen banks; Genetic research; Public opinionBackground
Biobanks are the repository of a large number of individuals' biological samples, annotated with clinical and/or genetic information. The utilization of data and samples stored in existing biobanks has become the cornerstone of human genome and epigenome research. The information is utilized, for example, to understand how environmental factors can effect genome expression as it relates to health and disease occurrence [1,2]. Biobanks have the potential to offer a venue for chronic disease biomarker discovery, which would allow for disease early detection and for identification of carriers of a certain predictor biomarker. This could eventually enable subjects to undertake preventive measures to decrease their individual disease risk [3-10].
Despite its potential benefits, genetic research is a highly sensitive topic for investigators, the public, patients and ethicists alike, as genetic data is encoded in the human tissue and is potentially identifiable. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other germ-line genetic traits are shared with siblings, as well as other family members, and inherited from parents. An individual's ethnicity, geographic birthplace, as well as many other inherited characteristics may be inferred from the acquisition of information in a person's SNPs [11]. This can have implications beyond the subject's donation to the biobank; it may affect the individual's family, and even his/her racial or ethnic group affiliation [12].
An individual can be identified within the large set of public data already existent in the published genome- wide association study, using only small subsets of an individual's genome [13]. As noted by Lin et al., a unique individual can be identified with as few as 30–80 SNPs [14]. Although information about an individual donor is not immediately apparent, theoretically, with considerable effort and economical resources, said subject could be identified. This can be achieved through comparison with genetic information obtained from a personal item, or comparison to DNA from a relative [15], combined with available information from separate databases, such as the National Geographic's Genographic Project, as well as specimens collected from people serving in the military [16] and arrested for criminal offenses [17].
While there are currently several hundred biobanks throughout the world, storing several million samples, many social issues have been raised surrounding the creation and maintenance of such biobanks, including our own. Issues such as personal and societal benefits, informed consent, enrollment of vulnerable populations, confidentiality, privacy, benefit of sharing, intellectual property, data access, returning results to participants, and commercial exploitation remain critical for maintaining the public trust and for volunteers' continued participation in biobanks [16].
Very few studies have addressed population beliefs and attitudes towards genetic research and biobanking. The purpose of the current study is to understand the general population's attitudes towards consenting and banking of genetic material. To accomplish this aim, an anonymous survey was conducted during the summer of 2009 and replicated in 2011 among North Shore Long Island Health System (NSLIJHS) patients and their families with the aim of assessing how people and patients feel about banking their DNA for research purposes and about the prerequisite consent process for inclusion in genetic research.
Questionnaire development
After reviewing other validated surveys [18-20], a condensed, 22 question version was created by our research team, with targeted multiple choice questions and several open-ended, qualitative questions. A health literacy expert was involved as a consultant to ensure that the questions fit at least an 8th grade reading level. The 2009 questionnaire consisted of three sections- one that addressed beliefs towards genetic research, one that addressed questions of personal privacy, and one on the process of obtaining consent for genetic research. The format was compatible with the Scantron grading system (Scantron Corporation, Eagan MN). An additional section consisting of 4 questions was added to the 2011 questionnaire, and was aimed at assessing attitudes toward returning individual research results from genetic testing to study participants.
Survey administration
Two anonymous surveys were conducted in 2009 and in 2011 as part of the Institutional commitment to periodically monitor the interest of the population in community-based genetic research. A questionnaire on attitudes towards genetic research and banking of genetic material was distributed to a convenience sample of subjects attending various facilities within NSLIJHS, representing the diverse geographic, socioeconomic and ethnic catchment areas of the Health System. NSLIHS is a network of 15 hospitals (Figure 1) that covers the population of Nassau, Suffolk and Queens County in Long Island, and Richmond County (Staten Island). The following six centers within the NSLIJHS were targeted: Center for Advanced Medicine, New Hyde Park; Monter Cancer Center, New Hyde Park; Franklin Hospital, Valley Stream; North Shore Ambulatory Surgery, Manhasset; Southside Hospital, Bay Shore; Plainview Hospital, Plainview. Preliminary meetings were conducted with the Directors of the various sites and permission was obtained to conduct the survey in patient waiting rooms.
Figure 1. Map of Long Island and Staten Island with the NSLIJHS hospitals.
Recruitment was performed by trained interviewers who approached patients and families in the NSHLIJHS waiting rooms and asked if they were willing to answer an anonymous questionnaire for research purposes.
The project underwent IRB expedited approval because of the anonymous nature of the survey through the Feinstein Institute of Medical Research at North Shore LIJHS. Due to survey anonymity, participants would not be able to be re-contacted for further assessment of their attitude toward genetic research. In 2009, 523 people answered the questionnaire; in 2011 there were 518 respondents, for a total population of 1,041 participants.
Statistical analysis
Data are reported as mean +/− SD and percentages. Comparisons between means were performed using the t-test; comparison of percentages was done using the chi-square test. Multiple logistic regression was run to assess the determinants of a positive response to genetic research and participation in a biobank (Questions 1, 2, 3, and 7). For this analysis, the responses to the two surveys (2009 and 2011) were pooled. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chigaco ILL).
The characteristics of the population included in this survey are reported in Table 1. Overall, the two samples were very similar in terms of demographics. Most of the respondents were female (63.7%), married (63.6%) and in the median 40–59 age group (46.1%). About half of the remaining respondents were split between the younger (18–39 years, 24.8%) and the older age group (60+ years, 29.2%). Most of the respondents were White (68.1%), with the second largest represented ethnic group being Black (13.4%). The remaining 18.6% was distributed fairly equally between Hispanic (7.2%), Asian (6.3%) and Other (5.1%), which encompassed those of multiracial, American Native and Pacific Islander ancestry. A large majority of respondents had some form of higher education (79.3%), with 26.1% representing those with graduate degrees, and 53.2% with at least some college education.
Table 1. Characteristics of the respondents to the two surveys
As shown in Table 2, four target questions aimed at assessing individual perception of genetic research were also included. Question 1 referred to the respondent's opinion of societal importance of genetic research, Question 2 assessed personal approval of genetic research, Question 3 addressed use of respondent's own genetic data for research purposes, and Question 7 addressed respondent's attitudes towards the idea of an "opt-out" of consent policy for inclusion in genetic studies. The large majority (97.7%) of respondents said "yes" or "maybe" to the idea that it is a "gift" to society when an individual takes part in medical research. The remaining 2.3% of participants did not find taking part in medical research to be important gift to society (Question 1).
Table 2. Distribution of responses in the two surveys
Respondents were also very approving of genetic research in general (Question 2), with 82.2% unequivocally in favor of genetic research, and only .8% against such studies. Positive responses were similarly high regarding Question 3, although the approval of use of one's own genetic material was slightly lower, with a disapproval rate of 5.7%. A large majority of those who disapproved of their own genetic information being used in research responded as such out of concern for the security of their personal information (75.3%), while others were concerned about having an extra tube of blood drawn (14.3%), and interfering with nature through their participation (10.3%).
Positive responses toward the use of an "opt-out" of consent policy (Question 7) for inclusion in genetic research were far lower than those regarding the research itself. Results were pooled for clarity of analysis, with 36.7% of respondents answering No/Maybe, as opposed to only 63.3% of respondents who answered "Yes/Probably"
Multivariate analysis
The four questions assessing attitudes towards genetic research (Questions 1, 2, 3 and 7) were analyzed. The demographic factors that best explained results for the target questions on attitudes towards genetic research were Age and Marital Status of respondent. General attitudes towards societal importance of genetic research were significantly associated with Age and Marital status (Table 3). Younger subjects were less likely to respond "Yes/Maybe" to the question (Odds Ratio: 0.21; 95% CI = 0.04-0.97). Participants who were married, however, were more likely to view genetic research as important for public benefit (Odds Ratio: 5.14; 95% CI = 1.18-22.35) than subjects who were not.
Table 3. Predictors of respondent's belief in societal importance of genetic research (multivariate regression analysis)
When assessing general approval of genetic research (Table 4), having donated blood in the past was a predictor of approval of genetic research (Odds Ratio: 1.83; CI = 1.28-2.60). The individual willingness to participate in genetic research (Table 5) was not influenced by age, gender, race or education. No demographic factor, including ethnicity and religion, was significantly associated with approval of the use of the "opt-out" consent process in genetic research (Table 6).

Table 5. Predictors of respondent's willingness to personally participate in genetic research (multivariate analysis)
Table 6. Predictors of respondent's attitudes towards opt-out consent (multivariate analysis)
In this survey the majority of the respondents were supportive of genetic research, with a very small minority being unequivocally opposed to such studies, whether broadly or on a personal level. The respondents who did not approve of their genetic material being used in research were generally opposed based on issues pertaining either to privacy of their personal information or an unwillingness to have extra blood drawn. Very few were opposed on moral grounds, indicating that a large majority of participants who answered negatively about participating in research do not have an underlying disapproval for this type of research.
Previous research done by the U.S Department of Human Services and the US Department of Labor revealed 63% of responders would not participate in genetic studies due to fear of workplace or insurance discrimination caused by genetic conditions being revealed through participation in genetic testing and/or research [21]. While this federal survey was over a decade ago, more recent studies also show a persistent fear of adverse effects of utilization of genetic data, which underlies many Americans refusal to participate in genetic research [20]. With the passage of the Federal Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008, which disallows the request or usage of genetic information in any detrimental way by employers and/ or insurance providers [21], public confidence in the protection of their information has increased, but still remains a very real deterrent. This confidence also revolves around trust in particular institutions and/or experts who are undertaking the research, which can vary greatly by region and by population [22]. The identification of specific participant concerns may lead to future studies on the possibility of enhanced legislative safeguards on personal medical information when participating in genetic research, and of the effects this type of security may have upon future participation.
There have been very few studies which assess the attitudes towards genetic research in the United States, and even fewer on non-selected or hospitalized populations in the Northeast region of the country. This type of research has generally been done on either special populations, such as U.S veterans, or on populations whose demographics do not match our own, such as those from the 2011 Vanderbilt University study, which was based out of Nashville, Tennessee [23]. Studies which have been done in the northeast have concentrated more on ethical questions pertaining to privacy of genetic information, such as that undertaken by researchers at Johns Hopkins University [24].Outside of the U.S, several large scale studies, such as those in Scotland [18], Ireland [19] Canada [25], have been undertaken to assess different population attitudes towards genetic research and biobanking; however, differences in legislative, social and demographic factors, make it difficult to extrapolate the results to the Northeastern U.S.
Divergent from many previous studies was the fact that demographic factors, including race and gender, were not predictors of willingness to participate in genetic research. In this large geographic area, encompassing Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties, ethnicity of the respondent was not predictive of attitudes toward genetic research. It is interesting that despite the national debate surrounding genetic research, which is highly influenced by religious interest groups, the majority of our respondents did not have any such moral objection; instead, most were not opposed to the research in general, only to its possible personal consequences. The questionnaire responses indicate that nearly all participants, with the exception of a combined 6.6% from both survey years, considered themselves as part of a religious group, yet a very small percentage disagreed with genetic research on moral/religious grounds.
This indicates that perhaps the political and/or social composition of the Queens/Long Island area has an effect which overrides most of the religious objections which are more prevalent in other geographic areas. In many other studies done throughout the United States, racial identity is often a strong predictor of willingness to participate in a research study, with minorities being sometimes less willing to participate due to historical abuses of their participation in such research [26]. In a 2006 study conducted in the Southern United States it was shown that African Americans were more than 20% less likely to enroll in a genetic study [26]. However, this was not the case in our study, where belonging to a specific racial category did not prove predictive of approval for, or willingness to participate in, genetic studies. It is likely that our results are reflective of the reality and beliefs of the most recent years, when education programs on clinical trials launched among minority and underserved communities have continued to shed light on the importance of research in general.
Another important issue highlighted by this survey dealt with the concerns that survey respondents had regarding the use of an "opt-out policy" in obtaining informed consent. In such a policy, patients admitted or treated in any of the NSLIJHS hospitals would be automatically enrolled in the BioGene Bank research study unless they sign a waiver stating that they would like to be excluded. This policy is being utilized increasingly across the country in order to ensure that genetic research programs can continue to enroll subjects and contribute to potentially groundbreaking new studies [27]. Part of the controversy surrounding genetic research in general is the way in which information is obtained, and our results mirror this, with only 44.4% responding that they would definitely be satisfied with the "opt-out" approach for obtaining consent, and 20.7% definitely opposed to the idea of this method. In addition, over 80% of those who responded to this question were uncomfortable with a study being done without a specific explanation, and without their knowledge. The present analysis showed that none of the demographic factors influences approval for the "opt out" of consent policy, and that the issue should be explored further. Yet when analyzing the qualitative responses following this question, it was clear that the "opt out" concept was not clear to the participants, and this may explain the participants' conflicting responses regarding this topic. Appropriate programs aimed at clarifying what the options are when the "opt out" of consent policy is in place may be necessary in these populations found to be more likely to disapprove of this policy.
While bio-repositories have been in existence for several decades, there is still a paucity of literature on the subject of the "opt-out" consent method, and how its utilization could potentially affect individual participation in such repositories. Approval of such a method is often relatively low, and is also often misunderstood. Results of such studies are often ambiguous in regards to one another, and often have an element of confusion as to participant understanding of certain consent policies. One such study, done at Vanderbilt University, shows this confusion, as 85.6% approved of biobanking genetic samples using the opt-out method, but at the same time held the belief that written permission should be obtained in order for DNA samples to be included [23]. Results were far lower, but perhaps better understood, in another 2011 study, in which 67% of survey respondents favored an opt-in, rather than an opt-out consent approach [28]. Similarly, in another survey conducted at five sites throughout the United States, it was shown that 42% of participants (n = 8,735) preferred that consent be obtained for each new research study that an individual's DNA is used for, thus precluding the use of an opt-out policy [29]. Results in 2006 Finnish and Swedish studies were similar, with 30% of participants (n = 1,195), and 46% of participants (n = 926), respectively, preferring to have consent obtained with each new research study involving their genetic material [20,30]. However, it remains unclear how much individual participants understand the differing processes of consent, and therefore, if the data collected on approval/disapproval of opt-out is an accurate representation of participant's attitudes towards it.
In the 2011 survey, a question about the possibility of receiving back the individual results of the genetic testing was added: 62.3% of the participants answered they would like to receive individual research results and only 4% said that they do not want to receive individual results. Yet again, the concept of "returning individual research results" was not very clear to participants; it was clear from the open ended responses that participants put enormous expectations into any test that relates to their genetic material, even when the study is strictly experimental and no clinical importance is attached to a result deriving from such study.
The return of individual research results (IRRs) is another issue that is prevalent in ethical debates surrounding biobanking, and genetic research in general. While some feel that it is a moral obligation on the part of researchers to disclose IRRs to participants, others feel that the focus of such genetic research should be on a population or societal level, and not on an individual level [29]. While the debate continues amongst ethicists, researchers and administrators, several studies have been carried out to assess participant's attitudes on the subject. Consistent with our results is the fact that in the majority of these studies, participants were very eager to receive IRRs, although the preference as to the content of these IRRs is somewhat disparate. This disparity can be attributed to personal preference, but also to the groups participating in these studies. For example, one study conducted among parents of children with genetic or developmental disorders saw a unanimous desire to have all aspects of their children's IRRs returned to them, whether actionable or not [31]. This group did, however, recognize that there should be an opportunity for parents, and participants, to choose which results should be disclosed to them. In another study conducted among focus groups across the United States, the great majority of participants would want all genetic results returned to them, while markedly less wanted results on conditions that could not currently be treated [29]. In several of the focus groups, participants made it known that they would not want results that were not at all actionable, marking a divergence from those who are living with those with genetic and/or developmental issues already. Overall, results that could not be interpreted or offered little insight into specific conditions were not highly valued.
This study has several limitations: the study sample may not be representative of certain aspects of the national demographic data since the last census; for example, the percentage of respondents of Hispanic ancestry, is 7.2%, which is far below the national average of 16.3% [32].
Another limitation is the voluntary participation of the subjects surveyed; the convenience sample may not necessarily be representative of the population living in Long Island/Queens/Staten Island.
Despite these limitations, this is the first study of this kind conducted in the greater New York area, contributing the first results on individual responses to the utility of biobanks as sources of biologic material from the general population. While respondents were generally inclined to approve of genetic research, and those who disapproved did not do so based on an underlying moral objection to such research, there is a disconnect between the belief in the importance of genetic research and the willingness of individuals to participate themselves. This indicates a continued concern for the ways in which genetic materials are safeguarded once they are collected. Also indicated was a general lack of understanding about the various consent processes that go along with genetic research, which should be addressed further to ensure the successful continuation of biobanks.

The rambling architecture of the Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) defines the city of Pasadena. Its dense canopy can span more than 100 feet — a great benefit in hotter climates. The Coast Live Oak's root structure will match its expansive canopy. It is slow growing, and its happiness will depend on your recognition that it needs plenty of space.
If you need a little shade and fast, California's white oaks (Quercus lobata) are a wonderful choice. They are among the fastest-growing shade trees. Their unique 1- to 2-inch-long, chestnut brown acorns tend to drop more than usual, making the tree a valuable habitat for birds and wildlife.
One of the rewards of a happy Coast Live Oak: the outrageously beautiful male catkins.
California's state tree, the Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), has very wide-spreading roots. They add a stately beauty to park spaces and large estates.
The Knobcone pine (Pinus attenuata) can grow to 20 feet tall. It thrives at higher elevations, but it isn't the hardiest of our trees. It likes fertile soil and regular water.
Incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) can reach 30 feet. Its clean and fragrant foliage adds a crispness to any landscape. It's hardy and handles varied soils and moisture levels. With its dense needles, it makes for an effective windbreak.
The California bay (Umbellularia californica) has a fantastic fragrance. Native to both California and Oregon, the bay does like more water than some of the other trees shown here.
If you love the California bay, as I do, but live in an area without the 30 inches a year of rain it needs, planting in shade where the roots will stay cool all year can help. It will also perform well in a container, where you can provide the added hydration it needs.
If you need a tree suitable for a small garden or even a tight space, Western redbud (Cercis occidentalis) is ideal. Not only does it provide an amazing array of color transitions throughout the year, but its delicate stem structure is lovely when it's bare.
Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), otherwise known as Christmas berry, adds a splash of color to landscapes as well. It likes full sun and usually grows to 6 to 8 feet high, although it can reach 20 feet under the right conditions. It thrives in California's tough sandy- and clay-based soils and only needs 4 to 5 feet of space at its base. The colorful berries can be used to create an earthy, lemony tea.

I think this system is whack,dumb,stupid. I mean i like the game, but its just the bans. Instead of banning for a day or a week it should just be like an hour ban or something.
Senior Member
Uhm, can you elaborate a bit more? A person who makes a death threat, is constantly racist and loves a former Austrian leader of Germany should just get an hour of ban? (see what I am doing here?) So what is your point? Any specifics?
Never a "dumb" leaving penalty in my books.
Sereg Anfaug
Don't leave games. How is that hard?

AFK in lol ftw
"Bans should last a minute, son. That will show them!" >_>
You don't get banned for leaving just one game, it has to happen a lot and if you get up to the week or more than you've done it a lot. The issue isn't the system but you since you keep leaving games for whatever reason, perhaps playing at different times if your internet or rl causes issues. Edit your account is only lvl 18 so you'll be punished more harshly then say a lvl 30 account.

This has been a busy month for the kids at school!
During our anniversary week of the school (not sure why this takes a week to celebrate, but the kids sure don't mind) is a week full of various activities. There was a dinner, games, dressing up, clowning around and special things that happened during school.
Five of the girls will be graduating from Basico in October. Please pray for the wisdom and funding to deal with this. In Guatemala, this is kind of like graduating from high school. One specific prayer would be for us to be able to know how to deal with them once they are out of school; two will be 20 years old. We need earnest prayers for wisdom in dealing with them. Two others will be 18, and one will be 16.
Look at these kids in these pictures!
I can't think of any way we could be blessed more. Every one of these kids are special to us, and we pray that we are going right by all of them.

Tilton native is skating the dream
"I kept trying to teach myself how to jump," said DeRoy, 27, now in her fifth year as a professional ice skater with Disney On Ice, which just finished a run in Manchester.
"(My parents) got me lessons to keep me from getting hurt," she says.
DeRoy - who grew up in Tilton but moved to Hudson, Mass., to join a local skating team - still calls Tilton home and still has family there.
And it was there she fell in love with skating as a small child.
"I always skated. I actually had baby skates, and my parents would hold me up and scoot me around the pond or the rink," she said last week during a tour stop in Baltimore.
She grew up skating with the Concord Figure Skating Club and later joined the Gate City Figure Skating Club in Nashua.
As a young skater, her idol was Olympian Kristi Yamaguchi, and she had dreams about being a high-level professional figure skater, she said. She qualified as a senior-level freestyle skater while at the University of Delaware, where she was president of the college's figure skating team.
"At one point, I was a full-time college student working two part-time jobs so I could pay for skating as well as expenses," she said.
"It was challenging because I needed to strictly manage my time so I could get my school work done around my work and skating schedule."
In 2006, she won a bronze medal at the 2006 Intercollegiate National Championships, which were held at Dartmouth College. That was special, she recalled, because she managed to skate an error-free short program in her home state. "Since I'm from New Hampshire, I had friends and family watching," she said.
She had friends and family watching last weekend, as well, when the Disney on Ice tour took her to Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena for its "Treasure Trove" show.
DeRoy hopes to keep skating with Disney for many years to come. At the moment, she's playing Foxy, one of the Lost Boys from "Peter Pan," performing five to 10 shows a week at venues across America and around the world.
"I'd like to keep doing this as long as I can," she said.
Then, she'd like to go to graduate school. She already has degrees in English and journalism.
"I think I'd like to try coaching," she said, "probably back in the Tilton area."

I have a new 47 ft x 3 ft sized raised vegetable bed on the north side of my house. The landscaper built the bed with a depth of 6". He filled it with topsoil mixed with an equal amount of mulch blended organic bark. The soil has lot of clumps, many of which seem to be made of clay soil, along with quite some stones as well. The raised bed is filled to the brim with this soil mixture. I sowed some seeds in the bed today and felt that the soil texture is apparently not right, with all the bark and clumps coming in my way while installing the seeds. This soil mix was recommended to me by a reputed garden center I bought it from. Please tell me there is nothing wrong with this mix. As it is filled to the brim, the vegetable bed has no more space for any soil amendments to be added. Will the bark pieces decompose and improve the soil texture by next spring? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Someone, please help! I am an amateur at vegetable gardening and would really, really appreciate some guidance ASAP. Thanks so much. |

Pat Buchanan on Free Trade2000 Reform Candidate for President | |
That experiment did not work out well for the free-trade British in the nineteenth century, who were shouldered aside in the struggle for world primacy by America. But our generation would make it work for the world.
What happened was predictable and was, in fact, predicted. With the abolition of tariffs, and with US guarantees that goods made in foreign countries would enter American free of charge, manufacturers began to shut plants here and more production abroad to countries where US wage-and-hour laws and health & environmental regulations did not apply, countries where there were no unions and workers' wages were below the US minimum wage. Competitors who stayed in America were undercut and run out of business, or forced to join the stampede abroad.
In early 2010 it was reported that Detroit, forge and furnace of the Arsenal of Democracy in World War II, was considering razing a fourth of the city and turning it into pastureland. Did that $1.2 trillion trade deficit we ran in autos and auto parts in the Bush 43 decade help to kill Detroit?
If our purpose in negotiating NAFTA was to assist Mexico, consider this: textile and apparel imports from China are now five times the dollar value of those same imports from Mexico and Canada combined.
Buchanan said that if something was not done, people would be thrown out of work more and more, be forced into lower-wage jobs. "You're risking social stability just so some of these corporations' profits can be dramatically increased, they can move factories anywhere.
"I think I can make that case out there," he declared; "economic nationalism's coming in Europe. It's going to come to the US. It is the future of this country."
From 1870 to 1913, the US economy grew more than 4% a year. Industrial production grew at 5%. The Protectionist Era was among the most productive in history. When it began, America was dependent on imports for 8% of its GNP. When it ended, America's dependency had fallen to 4%. The nation began the era with an economy half the size of Britain's & ended it with an economy more than twice as large as Britain's.
Tariffs alone cannot explain the economic success of the era. But high tariffs, nevertheless, went hand in hand with the rise of the most awesome industrial power the world had ever seen. And the Republican Party, which preached protectionism as the key to prosperity, controlled the White House for all but 8 of those years.
People ask, �Pat, why are you against NAFTA?� I said, �There are lots of reasons I�m against NAFTA. You do not force Americans making ten bucks an hour to compete with Mexicans who work for a dollar an hour.�
One year later, Mexico devalued the peso. American trade surplus disappeared. We now have a $15 billion trade deficit with Mexico, which means 300,000 American jobs were lost this year. Illegal immigration is soaring.
We are required to pay $50 billion to the government of Mexico. For whose benefit was that? It was not for the benefit of working Americans. It was for the benefit of investment bankers on Wall Street.
Should China refuse, we should shift U.S. purchases to Free Asia by imposing a tariff on goods made in China. Should Beijing impose a reciprocal tariff, fine. As we buy forty times as great a share of China's GDP as she buys of ours, there is no doubt who loses that trade war.
As America buys 30% of all of China's exports, any confrontation with the United States would be ruinous to China.

With the keys of my new home a week old and the boxes still unpacked, I was sitting with my laptop on the kitchen table (the o ne piece of furniture that I own currently) as I browsed the web looking for home insurance for NY. It was in that moment that I began to fear experience the flicker of a doubt. Had I moved to quickly? Did I just put myself into a situation where I would find myself trapped? Did I have the time, the money or even the desire to actually take care of a home all by myself?
I wonder how often a real estate agent has a client who has just bought a home calling them asking if there is any way that they can back out of the deal. It's embarrassing to say the least! That night I realized that I simply was not ready to take on the responsibility of owning a home - I'm only twenty five years old! I don't even have a family or a girlfriend for that matter, what would I ever do with a house all to myself when I only own a single piece of furniture?
It might sound silly to you but I've realized that I am going to be more comfortable in an apartment. I might one day go for a condo but right now my life only has limited needs that are more than met by the quality of living that an apartment can give me. I might have the cash for a short period of time to keep up with the maintenance that a house demands of their occupants but after a few years I predict that I would have felt the bite of watching my savings dwindle away. A roof over my head isn't worth that.
I am going to go back to college this fall at North Carolina State University, and I am pretty excited about it. I am going to be finishing my degree in psychology, and I only need a few more classes to do so. I should have never stopped going to school, but that is a whole different story. I found a place to live off of Hillsborough Street and I think that it will be pretty awesome to get back into the area. I am looking at high speed internet in Raleigh and trying to find a provider that will be able to give me a good price on my Internet connection.
I am going to need to get a fast connection, because I will be a student, and I am sure that a lot of my course work will be over the Internet. Of course, I will also need to have the internet in order to do research, and other things like that, which are related to my school work.
I am not really sure how much it is going to cost, because it has been a few years since I have had to pay for Internet. After I stopped going to college, I went back to my mom's house, and I have been living there ever since. So I have not been paying for Internet, and I do not know if the prices have gone up in the mean time. Maybe they have gone down, but I kind of doubt that. I do not think that providers are in the business of lowering their prices, unless they have to do so, in order to remain competitive. I am not sure that is the situation in Raleigh, and I am pretty sure that it is not the situation actually. But I could be wrong.
Click HereWith all of those television shows about solving crimes, the average citizen thinks he can take the reigns of investigating criminal activity in his own life. I thought I could do it as a store owner. A financial audit showed an alarming amount of shrinkage. That is just a business term for loss of inventory. Destroyed products that there is no refund available from a vendor or manufacturer is one example. Another is products you might use such as cleaning supplies. Another is theft from customers or employees. This is why I decided to to hire a private investigator.
Con artists come in all shapes and sizes. They are adept at lying to your face while keeping a straight face. It is just about impossible to tell if they are lying since they have become so good at it. They control their emotions, and they suck you into their confidence. When we had a large amount of loss from stolen products, I suspected that it was customers at first. I thought the shoplifters came up with a new way around our security. Wanting to handle it myself, I had more security cameras installed.
Then when I did suspect it might be one or more employees behind the thefts, I put more security cameras in employee only areas, and I changed the security protocols, locks on cabinets and other things. Still, the thefts continued. I never suspected a long time employee I had. She had been with us for many years. I had no idea that she had a drug and gambling habit that was consuming her to the point she was stealing to buy drugs and pay her gambling debts. She stole products and sold them for cash. It took a private investigator to figure out what was going on and how she was doing it.
Bill is a man who travels a lot and loves to collect brochures. He has many pamphlets and brochures from all over the world. He has been to every state and many countries and has the pamphlet to prove it. He always says "What good is traveling somewhere if you don't bring something home to remember it by." He loves all of his memories from his travels and keeps the proof in a nice glass display case. He holds them all as equally important except one, a michigan adt pamphlet. This one is by far his favorite memory. That is because it is where he met her. When he was walking through the airport ready to head back home to Ohio he bumped into what he says was "The most beautiful women in the world", and she dropped this pamphlet from adt in michigan. He tried to give it back to her but by the time he finished picking it up she was gone. He looked around for her her but she was nowhere to be found and Bill had a plane to catch so he kept the pamphlet. A few months late he went back to Michigan for a work conference and believe or not that very same women was in the meeting. Bill was very excited to see her and after the meeting he asked her out on a date, and they ended up talking all night. Bill says that was the best time of his life and he wishes he could she her again, but the women was just promoted and she had to move to Tokyo. Even though Bill had only seen her twice, and even only talked to her once, he says that he knows that she was the one. It has been several years since he met her but he plans to go live with her in Tokyo as soon as he has enough money and I told him "I wish you luck".

It was a terrifying experience that I am thankful that I wasn't home for - I can't imagine what it would have been like to have a stranger forcing their way into my home without warning while I was sitting there reading my book or watching my television. The feeling of vulnerability that I have just from knowing someone was in there was enough to make me look up the local kansas adt security company in hopes that they would be able to bring some security and peace of mind back into my home. For over a week I wasn't able to sleep in my house, not until the contractor arrived to install the new security system - only then did I feel comfortable again sleeping in my own bed. There is nothing more awful than feeling as if you are unable to sleep in your own bed because someone might try to break in!
I can't believe what is happening to my neighborhood. I have lived here for years and I never knew a single person who had their house broken into. Ever since the economy slumped I have noticed that certain types of crime are rising monthly and now that they cancelled the funds for those that are unemployed, I can only imagine that we are going to continue seeing these crimes trend upward. There are not enough jobs in the United States right now. Republicans are doing everything that they can from preventing companies to grow, fighting against the people's need for a higher base wage. I think that once more jobs come back to the United States we will be able to see crime fall again. Violent crime is on the downward trend but other crimes are still creeping their way into our society.
I have no idea what my son did to the toilet upstairs, but it is a horrible mess right now in the bathroom. It is severely clogged, and despite my best efforts, I can't seem to unclog it. Whatever he did to cause the clog was greatly exacerbated when he flushed the toilet, and caused the toilet to overflow into the bathroom. It really caused a big mess, and right now, I am looking for the contact info of a plumber in morris county nj that will be able to come over to my house quickly on an emergency basis, and try to fix my toilet.
I really do not understand what he did to the toilet, because I have never seen such an obstinate clog in my life. I tried to plunge the toilet for over an hour straight, thinking that if I just do it hard enough, then whatever obstruction is down there, is bound to be cleared. However, that was not the case, and I have not been able to clear the toilet at all on my own. I have given up now, and I think that it is time to call in a professional to try to remedy the situation.
I feel like he must have flushed a solid object down the toilet, but he is not telling me anything about what he might have done to the toilet. I think that he might be scared of punishment, and that is why he is not telling me what happened. Regardless, it is a pretty terrible situation, and he flooded the entire bathroom. It was disgusting when I first saw the scene, but I have managed to clean up the situation a bit since them. I just want to get the toilet working again soon, and I hope to have a plumber come over soon.
Click Here - It was found that O negetive blood types one vegetarian diets became extremely unheathly from not consuming red meat. Why is this and what is the name of this disorder?
Answer by jr90292
amemia - Bill O'Reilly said something last night on his broadcast that caught my attention: If America has another major terrorist attack; the Obama's presidency will be over. Unquote. Was this a speculation on his part or this was planting a reaction in the collective subconscious mind of USA? What lengths would the Obama opposition do to discredit him?
Answer by gitrdoneobama
The way that these Cons have used 9/11 to push their ideology on the American people, they can only hope they get that chance again. This is how they think. It's disgusting. - I always thought that it was both positive and negative that were the universal donors. Why is O called that when it is only O negative?
Answer by Kathleen
Because anyone can take that type of blood. Great for donation, not so great though if you need blood or a transplant and are O-. AB is the universal recipient, they can take any blood or an organ from anyone.
Okay, so I was really wary about the energy switching options way back when Texas first deregulated its electrical power rules, laws and regulations. Like most folks, I was afraid of change. I mean since I was a kid you got power from the local power company. Then the whole national grid got interconnected, then I think it went to a multi-national grid. We probably share power back and forth into Canada. I wouldn't doubt it. I bring this up because I recently went to http://www.energyproviderstexas.com/first-choice-energy-texas/.
I was paying a fair amount for electricity. I liked the price just fine. I had chosen a power provider when we moved here back when the kids were still in grade school. Well, I found out that you really need to periodically, and I don't mean every few years, check on the prices of electricity. I will be doing this a couple of times a year from now on. You can investigate at your leisure the options that other power providers are offering. Some of the deals are pretty good looking. They remind me of that contract job I took years ago with the signing bonus. There is real competition out there for your energy dollars, so you might as well take advantage of it.
I switched us again for a significant savings. My wife leaves this task up to me. She jokingly tells me that I need to be responsible for at least one thing around the house. Well, I think she is joking. Anyway, she is proud of me. I showed her how much we will be saving each month with projected savings over the year and the next few years. However, I will be on the lookout for a better deal with electricity providers in Texas if one comes along. You never know when an electrical provider may offer a sweet deal to get you to be their customer.
My son is moving to an apartment for his second year of college, and I am going to need to get his utilities set up soon. I think that he has about two weeks before he has to move in, and I would like to get this all taken care of within the next week, so that everything will be done with, and set up for him to move in. I found a site, internetproviders.us and I am looking through it right now to see if it might have good deals on internet connections in the area near my son's university.
I do not know exactly which internet service providers provide service to the city where my son is going to college, because it is on the other side of the state from where I live. I know that he will be happier living in an apartment, than he was in the dorms, but I am not sure whether he will spend as much time working on his school work. I really hope that he continues to do well, but I guess that I am getting a bit distracted. Right now, I just need to focus on finding an internet connection to purchase for him.
I know that he will want to have a fast internet connection. I am not going to try to get him the fastest internet connection in the world, but I would like to find something that is fairly fast. I think that he will be pretty pleased as long as he can achieve download speeds above one megabyte per second. I know that he will want to have something fast enough to play games on, but that is not really my concern, as I do not want him to spend too much of his time playing games.
Click HereI am moving my stuff a bit at a time. I have sold a lot of it to other people that I know on the campus of North Carolina A and T university. Now I am moving my bigger stuff with the help of a delivery guy I know. He runs a courier service and so he knew that he was going to a place in Raleigh to make a pick up tomorrow. I got him to let me bum a ride with my couch and the other stuff like that. I need some north carolina cheap internet and perhaps a part time job once I get settled in at NC State. I am going to have a job working for one of the engineering professors as TA and a laboratory assistant. She and I have been talking for a few months and she was really picky about deciding whether or not she would let me work for her.
I got the feeling that she was unhappy with the previous TA's that she had to be honest. I sort of wonder if I can manage to not get caught staring at any of her natural assets too. I think the Commodores might have written a song about how this woman is built at some point in time. She is probably close to 35 or something like that, but I know she must be doing a ton of pilates or some sort of similar exercise. Maybe it is that Brazilian stuff they advertise on TV, because that is what she reminds me of actually. I am pretty sure that she is not dressing to look like a frumpy middle aged professor either. A lot of the ladies in academics seem to want to dress so that it makes them less sexy, but she is not one of them.
Click HereYou can cut a lot of costs for your vehicle if you follow a few simple rules. At the top of the list is not driving for short distances. Plan your trips. Instead of going out two or three times in a day, make one trip. Walk where you can walk. Instead of driving a couple of blocks to the Post Office, just take a walk instead. Another way to save is to look for cheap auto insurance rates. Do not just settle for what you have been paying. Pretend like you are comparison shopping at a store between competing brands. Go for the best price for equal coverage.
Another way to save is make sure the car you own is not one of those money pits. They are ones that cost a lot to operate. They use too much gas, and they cost too much to insure. Go for the vehicle that is not so sporty. They usually cost much more to insure. Those performance cars are up there in insurance and gas guzzling costs. They are also popular cars to be stolen, and the insurance rates are higher because they are fast cars on the road. You can actually be driving a sports car and not even know it. That is why it is best to get information about your particular vehicle from the insurance company. Get information that shows you how they view your vehicle.
When buying tires, make sure that the vehicle has a proper alignment and good shocks and struts. Without those components being in good operating condition, you can end up wearing your new tires out much faster than you would if the car was running right. Also, drive sensibly. Do not drive too fast or take corners like you are on a speedway. Conservative driving will get you a lot more miles out of those expensive tires.
When ever my family and I go to a vacation spot that is far away from my home, I always like to look at the different plants and flowers that are in the area. It is really cool to see the different lush plants that each region of the country has. In addition, the Caribbean has some of the most beautiful plants that I have ever seen. I like the palms ft lauderdale has, they are huge with a lot of different sized palms on each of the branches. My family often makes fun of me on vacation because I spend a lot more time taking pictures of the flowers and shrubs instead of the landmarks that we visit. People often ask me what I am taking pictures of and when I point out the different plants, they often find them fascinating and end up taking their own pictures as well.
Our vacations together are a great thing to expereince. We may not always get along or even agree on where we should go but once we get there things are very different. My friends always say that they wish that they could travel with their kids but I think that they do not understand that they can. We always seem to travel on a budget and when we do travel, we try to use coupons to save money. We have never paid full price for a vacation so far. I like to use the internet to find the best deals on places where we have never been before. I was afraid to travel out of the country because I had never done so before, but my husband and I decided that we were going to show our children the world in a way that we were not shown when we were younger.

Solution: Contact lens wearers or people with fair skin like Emma Stone often have sensitivities. Before you apply any makeup, flush out your eyes with a saline solution to hydrate your pupils. We like the original Visine ($8; drugstore.com). Then pat them down with a tissue and wait a few minutes. This should eliminate dryness and irritation for the rest of the night.Read MoreLess
