Quick question what were your favorite wedding favors?
What did/are you having for your big day?
Hi Ladies,
Quick question what were your favorite wedding favors?
What did/are you having for your big day?
(24) Comments
I am using these:
Thanks I thought it would be cute and different. Have you seen anything you like yet?
I have this cool idea as both of us always drink Patron when we are together (we are not big drinkers) so mini Patron bottles. I have yet to see a pic of this tastefully done...
I'm doing soy scented tea lights in tealight holders.
That sounds very pretty!
Let me see what I can find.
@ OnyxDiva I found these:
cute cute cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicely done!
I love personalized/custom koozies! Love koozies!
oh darn, i tried to make it big. guess it didnt work. tag reads (in all different fonts):
Truth Serum
Love Potion
Pain Killer
Courage Builder
Cheers and Thank You For Being Here!
and you could buy a whole bunch of different varieties of patron and tie it on there
Julie: ive seen koozies on wedding blogs lately that read:
I went to So and So's Wedding and all I got was this lousy Koozie
those crack me up
I making looseleaf heart shaped Cheese cloth Tea bags with tea related poem with the guests name on the envelope and a special message for that guest. I am only haveing a small affair.
My favorite favor I received was a CD with the brides Music played on her wedding day. She also wrote our names on each CD.
Our favors will be our favorite bottle of wine with a personalized label. A little pricey but that is something that we really want for our guests. I am willing to scrape in other areas to afford this. I will also have a small favor inside our seating chart boxes, chocolate or some type of candy.
I will try to post samples later. I am having a hard time right now I'm sure since I haven't actually purchased them yet.
I was supposed to have candle favors because I love candles so much, but alas, ran out of time and money. Lol. Here is what they would have been.
We didn't do favors, but I like useful ones. Those that can be used again or enjoyed like alcohol, candles, etc.. Love the Taquila ones!!!!!
i made seed paper in the shape of hearts, and put them in envelopes that i also made. it wasnt my IDEAL favor, but i was able to make 120 favors for $5 total, so it worked!! if i had a bigger favor budget, i would have loved to do koozies, those are my favorite kind of favors. but we had drink coasters made, which were surprisingly a huge hit & everyone took a coaster and CP home with them too, so we kinda had 3 favors.
We made jam ourselves and gave it away as favours. I loved it! That was my idea from the start and I think they were really cute!
Cute ideas! I'm still struggling with what to do.

Comet Ping Pong Wins Best Family Restaurant in D.C.
(Photographs by Scott Suchman)
In the May 2008 issue of Southern Living, we highlighted an urban chic pizzeria in Washington, D.C., called Comet Ping Pong, where you can get top-notch pies and practice your topspin at one of their three ping pong tables. With great food and a laid-back atmopshere that appeals to 20-something hipsters and Baby Boomers alike, this neighborhood joint is perfect for a Friday night out with the kids and for date night. How many places do you know that fit into both categories? Chuck E. Cheese this is not.
And it seems the District locals agree. Washington City Paper, in its annual "Best of D.C." edition, gives kudos to Comet Ping Pong for Best Family Restaurant. Well-done, Comet.
Here are a few more photos from the restaurant:
What's your favorite local pizzeria? Tell us about it.

A one-man play about famed Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal will make its New York premiere in the fall.
Tom Dugan, who wrote and stars in "Wiesenthal," will present the play from Oct. 24 to Feb. 1 at the Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row. Jenny Sullivan will direct.
Wiesenthal was a Holocaust survivor who helped track down Nazi war criminals following World War II and then spent the later decades of his life fighting anti-Semitism and prejudice against all people. He estimated he helped bring some 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice.
The play, which has been seen across the country, will be produced by Tony Award-winner Daryl Roth and Karyl Lynn Burns. It portrays the aging Wiesenthal as he welcomes his final group of students to the Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna, Austria. — ap

Western Bay students can get behind the wheel and test their driving skills in an interactive driving simulator at Bayfair Shopping Centre.
From Monday to Friday this week, the AMS Group youdrive simulator will be at the shopping centre, in conjunction with Blue Light and Farmer Autovillage for a five-day exhibition focused on promoting safe driving.
The youdrive driving simulator features a steering wheel, pedals, indicators and seatbelts, which give young drivers a realistic driving experience.
Between 9-11am each day, Blue Light will be at the exhibition to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving and how this can significantly increase the chances of crashing.
Students will be challenged to complete a sensory obstacle course, then will be asked to complete the same course again, this time while wearing Fatal Vision glasses.
Between 10-11.30am, Farmer Autovillage will demonstrate some basic maintenance checks, including how to change a tyre, check oil levels and general car maintenance.
AMS Group is responsible for introducing the youdrive education programme, which is available as part of the NCEA education system.
Managing director Kevin Wall said driving was a crucial skill that was often not given enough emphasis.
"With more than four million vehicles registered for use on New Zealand roads, the development of extensive defensive driving techniques was of paramount importance for young drivers,'' he said.
Students who take part in the youdrive simulator will go in the draw to win a Getting Started Driving prize package, with six driving lessons, a copy of the New Zealand Road Code, a set of L plates and cash reimbursement for the learner licence application and test fees.

Brought to you from 13 million years back, courtesy of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, it's Gomphotherium phippsi:
Gomphotherium may look a lot like an elephant, but he had his own unique approach. He apparently had a short trunk and rather than sporting two tusks, he had four — two in his upper jaw (in the usual elephant-style geometry), and two mounted in his lower jaw. His lower tusks were parallel, and are thought to have been used like a shovel to gather aquatic foods.
Gomphotherium evolved in the Early Miocene in North America, about 13.6 million years ago. During a drop in sea level, they were able to expand into Europe, Asia, and Africa — surviving for a total of 10 million years. This particular specimen lived 13 million years ago, in what is now Nebraska.

Download (398Kb) | Preview
That economic and fi nancial power is shifting from West to East – and specifically to China – has become a mantra of our age, repeated so often and so insistently that it appears to be widely regarded as self-evident. Frequently, it is accompanied by the assertion China is set irreversibly on the path to global pre-eminence, if not outright domination. It is only a matter of time, it is sometimes suggested, before China rules the world.

Nude celebrity news
Did we miss a story?

Celebrity Nudeflash
Here are some celebrity trends and news headlines from the past week according to Nudography's logs and referrers from yahoo and google.
Miley Cyrus
remained the most searched for celeb in the past week. We finally got to see her topless, well, one boob. Photographer Terry Richardson posted a set of explicit photos on his blog showing Miley in several controversial poses, probably to make some more buzz before the release of Miley's new album, Bangerz, which came out today.
Another person who can thank Terry Richardson for newly found attention is Playboy Playmate and model
Alyssa Arce
. Her name stood out among the celebrity searches that were new to me. Alyssa's photo shot with Richardson was published in French Lui magazine. Before that, she did several
photo shoots for Playboy magazine
Here are some other new names I noticed among the searches performed in the past week:
Monika Jakisic
… George Clooney's new girlfriend
Sacha Parkinson
… stars alongside
Jaime Murray
in Fright Night 2: New Blood. There's some nudity in the film, but not from these two. Actually, we do get to see Jamie naked in it, but sadly, not before she turns in a century old blood sucking witch with tits hanging down to her knees. The most horrifying scene in the whole movie.
Briga Heelan
… will star in TBS' upcoming comedy series Ground Floor
Clare Niederpruem
… stars in Zombie Hunter alongside Danny Trejo
Aiysha Hart
… stars in the role of Ariadne in Atlantis, a British fantasy-adventure television programme, based on Greek.
Jemima Rooper
also stars in it in the role of Medusa. The series air on BBS and will premiere on Space in Canada on October 12th and BBC America has announced that it will be premiering it on November 23rd
Hayley Orrantia
… stars in The Goldbergs, an 80s' sitcom you can watch on ABC.
Sarah Dumont
… stars in Don Jon
Top 10 most searched for celebs in the past weeks:
Miley Cyrus
Selena Gomez
Emma Watson
Katy Perry
Jennifer Lawrence
Megan Fox
Kate Upton
Chloe Bennet
Jessica Alba
Mila Kunis
Some interesting nude appearances added to the database in recent days:

The best performing sector so far this year has been the utilities. The SPDR Utility ETF (NYSEARCA:XLU) is up over 9 percent for the year while the broader market is essentially flat.
Utilities tend to outperform in a weak market. This is because they have very stable business models with recurring revenues. They also tend to pay a large portion of their profits out in dividends, so when investors are looking for yield, they often turn to utilities. Also, when bond yields go down, that makes other yielding assets — such as dividend paying stocks — more attractive by comparison. Thus, utilities are a way for investors to piggy-back the strength in bonds while retaining equity exposure, and the correlation should remain intact unless the stock market crashes.

Reform bill deserves passage
A major bipartisan initiative to reform how state and local government works in Minnesota has languished for nearly a year at the Capitol.
That's not what Minnesotans expect from their representatives.
By all accounts the Minnesota Accountable Government Innovation and Collaboration (MAGIC) Act is a sensible, bipartisan effort to allow local and state governments room to innovate in an attempt to deliver more with less or simply create changes in programs to get better outcomes with the same amount of money. It's a pilot program that allows state or local government to cut through the red tape to try something new.
The MAGIC Act was born of the bipartisan Redesign Caucus established in 2010 by Rep. Paul Marquardt, DFL-Dilworth, and Rep. Carol McFarlane, R-White Bear Lake.
The act allows counties to "establish pilot programs in which counties may apply to develop and test alternative models for service delivery that focus on performance measures and outcomes rather than processes for delivering services."
For example, a Rochester program that serves people with chronic chemical dependency would direct some of the money to housing, job training and employment instead of repeated treatment programs, according to a report in the Star Tribune.
Officials figure if some of the money used for repeated chemical dependency treatment were aimed at some of the causes of chemical dependency, better outcomes might be achieved. Under current law, the requested variation in policy took two years to get through the state bureaucracy, according to the report. If the MAGIC Act were in place, it may have taken just a couple of months.
The MAGIC Act still does not allow counties do what they want without exception. Their plans have to be overseen by the appropriate state agency, but it does allow for agencies to try innovations.
The proposed law would limit the number of programs to two per county and 10 per any state agency to be operating at one time. And county boards have to sign off on programs.
The program has bipartisan support and resolutions of support from all 87 Minnesota counties. It passed the Senate last year on a 62-1 vote. It is currently in the House Ways and Means Committee.
The MAGIC Act is a common sense program that costs taxpayers very little. In fact, many of the pilot programs will be able to shed light on innovative programs that can then be adopted on a statewide basis in an effort to save the taxpayers money.
The House should approve it as soon as possible and Gov. Mark Dayton should sign it.
— The Free Press of Mankato

text: Arena Football: New Utah franchise hires White By Andrew Aragon The Salt Lake Tribune Danny White finally confirmed Thursday what was a poorly kept secret: He will be the first coach of Utah's Arena Football League team when it begins play in January of 2006. "It's good to finally get this out of the closet," White said. "It's been, 'I don't know, we'll wait and see.' It's funny how things happen sometimes." White's hiring was a combination of a coup and common sense for the new franchise. White, a member of the LDS church, is also a member of the AFL's Hall of Fame. While he led the NFL Dallas Cowboys to three consecutive NFC championship games as a quarterback in the early 1980s, White found greater success in the AFL, which is now in its 19th season. White has the second-most coaching wins in AFL history. His Arizona Rattlers won league titles in 1994 and '97 and they advanced to the Arena Bowl and lost in 2002, '03 and '04. "For me personally, I've got an excitement about this and some juices flowing in me that haven't been flowing in a long time," White said. "I was excited when we started the team in Arizona 13 years ago. That excitement waned a little bit over the years as we moved further and further down the food chain in Phoenix and seemed to get less and less of the attention that I felt like the players and the organization deserved." White was the only coach in Rattlers history until July, when the team chose not to renew his contract. White said he originally got involved in the AFL because it gave him the chance to work in Phoenix, his hometown. He wasn't too familiar with the AFL but he agreed to become Arizona's coach and general manager because it gave him the chance to get back into football without having to dedicate his life to it, he said. "I fell in love with the players and the game," White said. "I'm addicted to it." firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.sltrib.com/ci_2679197?rss

Marquis Sanchez: Omfg the anime parallels the light novels to the tee. The problem is not the the pacing but the fact that it's a freaking light novel. Seriously don't hate the anime for the pacing. Look into the books. There wasn't much the producers could add with out freaking up the story. True the pacing was fast but it's a light novel if the author had time to right about all the levels and all the bosses it would taken years to come out with the first arc.
kez dolbeck: freak you, you ficking freak. You dont deserve season two of sao you ungreatful asshat
Blackmonjet: we will have to wait another year as this wont be the english version unless they done both versions at the same times.
xihammercam: for all the people who think Kirito will be a girl in GGO and are rageing he does not become a girl in the game his avatar has a glich which makes him look like a girl as there is no actual character creation in the novels GGO has no character creation the game reads the players brainwaves and creates a character for them based on those brainwaves. his character may look like a girl but it is in fact a boy.
sorry for any bad spelling so please don't rage at my spelling.
風: Season 2? ;~;
Brayan Remicio: you´re stupid, ok? jajajaja no lies , great
kendyl leigh: can anyone answer m question pls so uh how long will I take them to dub it pl don't tell me a year :( how long pls someone tell me??
Keith Hussey: They either pace it too fast or not fast enough the smarks will never be happy.
Franklin Souza: cara, porque sua sobrancelhas parecem taturanas ? HU3
MasterSB988: Reading quite a few comments saying how much it will "ruin a great series" if Kirito's avatar became a girl. Should probably start re-evaluating why you think this is a "great series" if the possibility of the main character playing a female avatar disturbs you to the point of not enjoying it. Mind you, this is only for one game he plays. He's still playing male avatars in Alfheim with Asuna and the rest of them and, in the future, Underworld.
Ben Nhii: Like totally lookin 4ward 2 ss2 !!!!
Loughlann Collins: Yeah, from what I saw online and stuff. Apparently there is.

The Rails: Trouble Behind, Trouble Ahead
For most Americans, the service meltdown on the Union Pacific Railroad seems like an obscure event--like a war between two far-off countries whose names one can't keep straight. But after more than three months of tying up deliveries of everything from scrap metal to flower pots, UP's struggle is sending aftershocks through the economy. The Federal Reserve, in its October "beige book" report, says that in parts of California, "generally positive views of the economy were tempered by many reports of shipping bottlenecks." In the Pacific Northwest, the Fed reported that "capacity constraints...particularly in rail transportation, could restrain further growth."
The toll is mounting. Economist Bernard L. Weinstein at the University of North Texas figures that the UP mess is "at least a billion-dollar-a-month problem" for the country. That's manageable in a thriving $8 trillion economy. But Weinstein believes consumers will eventually feel the pinch in the form of higher prices for everything from electric power to chicken.
The congestion and shortages are raising broader concerns about the health of the nation's transportation infrastructure and its ability to support further economic expansion. Indeed, with more and more companies relying on just-in-time inventory systems, transportation blips hit the economy harder. "There is an ongoing discussion about whether the transportation system has enough capacity in general," says Linda J. Morgan, chairwoman of the federal Surface Transportation Board, which oversees the rail industry. On Oct. 31, the board declared an unprecedented "transportation emergency" in the West and ordered UP to temporarily open up some of its Houston business to competition. Regulators will review the order on Dec. 3 to determine if they should take more drastic action.
That can't come too soon for Ken J. Legler. The transportation bottleneck gripping Houston and extending to California is already painfully costly for his Houston Wire Works, which makes metal racks for transporting bottled water. Legler figures his shipping costs soar 25% when he ships by truck. And with rivals nationwide, he doesn't dare raise prices. "I can't continue to eat the cost," he moans. To stay profitable, he's considering reducing his contributions to his employees' retirement plan.
Legler is just one of hundreds of shippers hurt by UP's gridlock. And for every shipper, there's a customer at the other end seeking another supplier or going without needed materials.
It all started with UP's bungled efforts to merge with Southern Pacific Rail Corp., which it acquired last fall. Since then, backlogs and capacity crunches have developed among rival railroads and truckers already struggling to keep up with strong demand as the economy has continued its seven-year expansion.
Trucking companies such as J.B. Hunt of Arkansas and MS Carriers of Memphis have been turning away business for lack of drivers or equipment. In Florida, hundreds of miles from the UP system, tomato grower Jay Taylor, president of Taylor & Fulton Inc., worries that the extra demand for trucks in the West might soon drive up freight rates for all customers. Meanwhile, containers are stacked four deep at the ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach, which are already hampered by labor shortages and surging imports from across the Pacific. UP rival Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. could take more business--but it's short of locomotives.
BUMPER CROPS. Dallas-based Union Pacific Corp., parent of the nation's largest railroad, insists there's light at the end of the tunnel for UP. CEO Richard K. Davidson says a cleanup by yearend is still in sight. The railroad has leased about 100 locomotives since August, and it's bringing back retired workers and borrowing employees from other railroads. "The railroad is flowing pretty fluidly across the southern tier now," insists Davidson, whose timetable meets widespread skepticism from customers.
Still, Davidson would be the first to admit there's more to do. With record or near record harvests of wheat, soybeans, and corn, UP would have been hard pressed to meet demand under any circumstances. On top of that, the system is pressed by holiday shipments and record imports from Asia.
Some shippers wonder if UP cut too deep as it worked to absorb two mergers in the past two years. But many railroads have slashed jobs and boosted productivity since rail deregulation in 1980. "It was downsizing and getting rid of people that made these stocks such darlings of investors in the first half of the '90s," says rail analyst James M. Higgins at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc. "Now, we're at a period where the thing that was supposed to keep that going--mergers--isn't working over the near term."
THE OTHER SHOE. Consolidation was supposed to make things better, or so said the dealmakers. "We have the bulk of our efficiency and service improvements ahead of us," insists Robert D. Krebs, CEO of Burlington Northern. But the system's current woes are fueling demands by some shippers for Congress to create more rail competition. "The long-term solution is more choices," argues Michael Petruccelli, director of chemicals distribution for PPG Industries Inc. of Pittsburgh. He figures the $7.2 billion company has lost only $1 million so far due to delays from UP tie-ups, but he's worried about future problems. "This thing has the potential to hurt us," he says. "It's like a shoe waiting to drop."
Rail customers are scrambling to minimize the impact further down the supply chain. Indeed, retailers such as Wal-Mart, Sears, and Mervyn's report few, if any, delivery problems. At corn-refiner Cerestar USA Inc., some rail shipments of its syrups, starches, and other products are taking about three times the normal schedule, says transportation manager Robert A. Sieffert, and the extra cost to Cerestar is over $200,000 so far. Still, he predicts little impact on sales.
Few producers think they can pass on higher costs, though, thanks to competition from overseas or from rivals unaffected by UP's trouble. And while some are trying to reduce their dependence on Union Pacific, that's not an option for most. All they can do now is hunker down and wait for this storm to pass.

Our customer reviews for ibis Sao Paulo Interlagos
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
The attendant served us very badly. Been other times in this same hotel and we were very well attended. However this time we were not answered as we expected. I think the clerk was grumpy. Hopefully next it no longer occurs.
Dear Edmundo, I am so sorry that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Please allow me to express my most sincere apologies. I have reviewed your comment, and I want to assure you that I take it very seriously. Our relationship with our guests is extremely important to us. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Ibis São Paulo Interlagos. Sincerely General manager
Can you believe that is possible to have pets (dogs and cats) accepted in that hotel? Yes, that is a fact. So, it's important to say that you can rest in the same bed used earlier by one dog. Then, welcome to the animal environment closed in a single room.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your comments regarding your stay at the Ibis Sao Paulo Interlagos. Exceptional service is what we strive like to be known for; therefore your feedback is extremely important as it helps us to continually improve and provides a memorable experience to our valued guests. Small size pets are accepted by ibis Brazil subject to certain precautions and under their owner's supervision (one pet per room): Customers have to pay a supplement when checking in, show the animal's vaccination card and sign a guarantee. By signing this guarantee, pet owners commits to ensuring the safety of their animals and providing all the necessary materials for their comfort (food, leash and cleaning products). A few rules have been established in order to make the small animal's stay easier and ensure the comfort of other hotel guests: animals are only allowed to move around the hotel buildings on a leash or in cages or bags designed for this purpose. In addition, they are not allowed in common areas such as bars and restaurants. Five ibis hotels conducted tests prior to the launch of this project. Customer feedback was very encouraging! In order to make the project feasible, we took double care as for the purchase of products and specific cleaning products to clean places where animals circulate, apart from trainings offered to employees on how to host the new `guests`. I am very concerned that your impression of Ibis hotel has been marred by this experience and in particular the impression of Ibis Sao Paulo Interlagos, as we are very proud of the customer care we give to our guests. We are hopeful that you will present us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely General Manager
Pros: room was clean, no bugs, good location to the Interlagos track, I had early flight on Monday and even though I bought breakfast I had to leave before it was ready, so I received a credit. I wasn't killed or mugged Cons: Difficult to find someone who spoke or understood English, check in process was bad (I paid online for breakfast, but they kept trying to charge me because the hotel girl Thayne could not understand, and I printed everything off from the online reservation, but she couldn't read) Very poor wi-fi service, I was on the 4th floor and had to go to lobby to use. Difficult to print off boarding pass. Room only had two bath towels, no hand towels or wash cloths and one time the new towel left by housekeeping was dirty. I tweeted my issues, the Accor Hotel asked I follow them so they could DM me and resolve, which I did but I never heard another word. Asked to talk to manager but he was never avaialble.
When making a booking at this hotel:
- I earn Status & Rewards points
- I do not earn points
- I can easily convert my HuaZhu Rewards points into Le Club AccorHotels points (and vice versa)
- I can use my Rewards points
- I cannot use my points
- I benefit from {{fidelityCard}} advantages

Can't wait! Usually, my favorite part of the videos is the commentaries, because I just love all the behind-the-scenes stories. But I don't think any commentary is going to be as good as what we've been spoiled with here at OT these last few weeks! Still, a 30-minute blooper reel would be RAD!
- The Oggmonster
Yea I love the commentaries from the last season DVDs. I can't wait to get season 4 on DVD.
- JennyL
AWESOME! I think I can handle that – not too late in Sept. I want a 30 min gag reel (breaking/laughing) AND a 30 min blooper reel (making mistakes) !!!
Here's hoping there are lots of commentaries by Jenna, Mindy, John, Steve & BJ! :)
- Zach Mayo
I hope it doesn't cost as much as the past two seasons since we've had fewer episodes.
- umbra
they better have alot of extra bonus stuff.
- Daniel
I really hope they include extra bonus features, maybe a making of documentary, that would be awesome. I think they should add more extras as this season was cut down alot.
- Joanna
:::: marks calendar while drooling over the thought of a full disc of bloopers::::::
- Happy Smile Patrol
I think it would be great if the Season 4 DVD included the original broadcast version of Traveling Salesmen and the producer's cut version of The Return since the Season 3 DVD only included the combined newpeat version. It would be a nice bonus for those who prefer the original versions, and would give the set some additional content to help make up for the lower number of Season 4 episodes. Of course, I'll be buying this regardless!
- yo' ho' no' mo'
YES! AWESOME! Marking my calendar NOW!
- Momjo
I am so excited! That will be great to add to my collection. BTW, #9, love your name. ;)
- sorano916
Yay! Fun times! I agree with Happy Smile Patrol that the original Producer Cuts of The Return and Traveling Salesman would be an excellent bonus.
Also, remembering the blooper reel that they had so far from Convention… it's going to be pretty awesome. Especially the office going wild after Steve announced the pizza place. :D
Speaking of Steve, rumor is going around that commentary has started and he was seen among the rest of the cast. Hopefully, John, who's in CT, can get in on the action.
- mark
I think they should include the script from the Christmas episode that never happened lol.
Still upset there was no X-MAS episode this year.
- Alison
I hope that insanely funny & really long blooper having to do with pizza that was shown at The Convention is on there!!
- Thirsty Schrute Baby
I would love a 30-minute blooper reel! I hope this set is really packed with extras. They should add the 'What the Office Did on Summer Vacation" clips from NBC.com. I would also like to see interviews (which after 3 seasons on DVD we haven't gotten yet) and behind the scenes footage. The deleted scenes are always awesome and so are the commentaries. Hopeful there will be larger group commentaries like on season 2 for this set. What do you guys think the cover art will look like? Beside the EW article there haven't been any photoshoots that I know of and the characters (Pam and Ryan especially) look different this season. I'm a bit worried they'll use a season 3 pic.
A large blooper scene or cut scenes from earlier shows would be great too. Something to fill out what we missed from the strike. Something JAM-related with Valentine's Day/Xmas would be great.
- IHeartJam
Thank you so much for announcing this! I cannot wait!
- Spicy Curry
Only 4 more months! I hope some of the stores have the special packages again.
Oh, and I would love to see a whole disc of gag and blooper reels–that would be amazing!
Seeing as the season was so short, a 30 minute blooper reel is the least they could do. It would be nice if they include a lot of stuff from the convention too.
- Kenna
Um … I'm hoping for an entire disc of bloopers.
Just kidding. Kinda. But seriously – I agree, they definitely need to include a massive blooper reel! That's always my favorite part of the DVD. I can't wait!
- Colin
There weren't that many less episodes this season If you count each hour long episode as two episodes there were 19 episodes. Only a few less than season two.

What causes drooling? 15 possible conditions
Drooling is when saliva unintentionally flows outside of your mouth. It can be caused by too much saliva production or weak muscles around the mouth. Read more
Drooling is defined as saliva flowing outside of your mouth unintentionally. It's often a result of weak or underdeveloped muscles around your mouth or having too much saliva.
The glands that make your saliva are called the salivary glands. You have six of these glands, located on the bottom of your mouth, in your cheeks, and near your front teeth. These glands typically make 2 to 4 pints of saliva a day. When these glands make too much saliva, you may experience drooling.
Drooling is normal in the first two years of life. Infants don't often develop full control of swallowing and the muscles of the mouth until they are between 18 and 24 months old. Babies might also drool when they're teething. Drooling can occur in people who have neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy as well.
Causes and Risk Factors for Drooling
Drooling can be a symptom of a medical condition, developmental delay, or a result of taking certain medications. Anything that leads to excessive saliva production, difficulty swallowing, or problems with muscle control may lead to drooling.
Drooling begins after birth and peaks between 3 and 6 months as infants become more active. This is normal, especially when going through the teething process, so you shouldn't worry.
Diets high in acidic content often cause excessive saliva production.
Neurological Disorders
Certain medical conditions can put you at risk for drooling. If a disease that decreases control of facial muscles affects you, you are more likely to drool. Neurologic disorders such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or stroke may cause muscle weakness that affects the ability to close the mouth and swallow saliva.
Other Conditions
Drooling is usually caused by excess saliva in the mouth. Medical conditions such as acid reflux and pregnancy can increase saliva production. Allergies, tumors, and above-the-neck infections such as strep throat, tonsil infection, and sinusitis can all impair swallowing.
How Is Drooling Treated?
Drooling isn't always treated. Your doctor usually won't recommend any treatment for someone under the age of 4 or who drools during sleep.
Treatment may be recommended when drooling is severe. Drooling may be considered severe if saliva drips from your lip to your clothing or your drooling interferes with your daily activities and creates social problems. Excessive drooling can also lead to inhaling saliva into the lungs, which can cause pneumonia.
Treatment options are looked at on a case-by-case basis, but generally your doctor will perform an assessment and come up with the management plan that works best for you.
The noninvasive approach includes trying things such as medication, oral motor therapy, and pharmacological therapy. In more serious cases, you and your doctor may consider a more invasive approach, including treatment options such as surgery and radiotherapy.
Speech and occupational therapists help teach positioning and posture control to help improve lip closure and swallowing. Your therapist will work with you on improving muscle tone and saliva control. Therapists may also suggest that you see a dietitian to modify the amount of acidic foods in your diet.
Appliance/Dental Device
A special device placed in the mouth helps with lip closure during swallowing. An oral prosthetic device such as a chin cup or dental appliances may help with lip closure as well as tongue position and swallowing. This option works best if you have some swallowing control.
Certain medications help reduce saliva production. Medications include:
- Scopolamine, which comes as a patch and is placed on your skin to deliver the medication slowly throughout the day. Each patch lasts for 72 hours.
- Glycopyrrolate, which is given as an injection or in the form of a pill. Robinul decreases your saliva production but can cause dry mouth as a result.
- Atropine sulfate, given as drops in the mouth; usually used for patients during end-of-life care when they are having difficulties with drooling.
Botox Injections
Botox injections may help reduce symptoms of drooling by tightening facial muscles.
Surgical Treatment
Several procedures are approved for the treatment of drooling. The most common is a procedure that reroutes the salivary ducts to the back of the mouth to prevent drooling outside of the mouth. Another procedure removes your salivary glands completely.
What Is the Outlook for Drooling?
In children, drooling is a normal part of development. But if you notice excessive drooling or have any other concerns, you should always consult your child's doctor.
There are many medical conditions that cause drooling, so you should consult your doctor if you notice that you're drooling excessively or uncontrollably. Many problems can be easily controlled with therapy or medication, but some conditions may require more serious treatment and highlight a more serious medical condition. Following a healthy diet and listening to your body can help to alleviate some problems. For anything serious, your doctor can help you develop a treatment plan.

Date of Stay: March, 2013
A very nice little park. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restrooms very clean and had showers. They have a pool fed by mineral spring that is warm water. Within walking distance to the town where there is a restaurant, store, and gas station. It was a very pleasant experience and we will plan our next Death Valley experience around this park, by staying longer and using it as a base. I can't remember the exact price, but it was in the $20 range and well worth the money. Don't expect good WiFi, the entire town is difficult to get WiFi and cell service.
Date of Stay: December, 2008
Managers very friendly and helpful. Starry nights are a wonder. Clean restrooms and showers. WIFI slow but free. No added cost, only $25 per night. Will come back for a longer stay on the trip home.
Date of Stay: November, 2004
We pulled in and were immediately invited to a potluck which they were having that evening in the recreation room. After a wonderful dinner and meeting some very nice people, we were given a calendar of events for the month. They have a variety of activities scheduled. We later found out that this is a winter visitor park and from about October until March or April, the park is full of people from all over the country (Canada too). They come to this park because it offers a lot for its guests. It is about 25 miles from Laughlin, Nevada - It is about five miles from the Colorado River and from the Golf course. Besides the rec. room activities, there are many other activities in and around the park such as hiking, dirt biking and jeeping. The guests are all friendly, the management is friendly, and we started out as intending to stay for 2 nights, wound up staying for the month, and we'll be back this winter for the season.

No Controversy with the Mares-Agbeko Rematch; Moreno easily Decisions Darchinyan
By Miguel Maravilla
Abner Mares and Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko had their rematch Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, four months after their first contest. On August 13th, Mares won a controversial victory retaining his WBC silver bantamweight championship and capturing the IBF title from Agbeko while Agbeko felt that he was robbed. During their first meeting, Mares landed numerous low blows but referee Russell Mora only warned him a couple of times and never deducted a point. Also, Agbeko went down after a low blow in the 11th round but the referee ruled it a knockdown. The judges scored their initial encounter 115-111 twice and 113-113 for Mares.
This time around Mares (23-0-1, 13 KOs) silenced Agbeko (28-4, 22 KOs) and his critics with a undisputed victory as all three judges scored the bout 118-110. "I am happy people saw the real Abner Mares," said the fighter. "I beat him the first time and I beat him again!"
Mares was cut above the right eye in the second round by an Agbeko jab but the champ was confident of his cutman.
"I have a great cutman (with) Miguel Diaz," said Mares. "I was concerned (so) I asked my corner if they would stop the fight and he (Diaz) looked at me, and said 'Are you crazy? I am the best!'"
At the post-fight press conference, promoter Oscar De la Hoya broke the news that Mares would not be able to attend the presser because he went to the hospital after the fight due to the advice of the ringside physician to have the cut above his right eye examined.
"I think this decision is unfair," said Agbeko at the post-fight presser. "You shouldn't have to knock out your opponent to win in California. I thought I fought better tonight than the last fight."
WBA super bantamweight champion Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno and his opponent, two-time world champion Vic Darchinyan, also spoke at the post-fight press conference.
"I lost the fight," admitted Darchinyan, the former bantamweight and super flyweight titleholder. "It was not my night. He beat me and I was here to fight."
"I am happy to win in the United States," said Moreno, a native of Panama who had never fought in the U.S. "I will keep working and fighting the best!"
Moreno (31-1-1, 11 KOs) won a unanimous decision with the scores of 116-111, 117-110 and 120-107.
Darchinyan (37-4-1, 27 KOs) and his promoter, Gary Shaw, were infuriated with the lopsided scoring of 120-107.
"One judge had me losing all the rounds," said the former champion. "I know I lost, but all the rounds?" questioned Darchinyan.
"We know Vic lost the fight but if you are watching this fight and you read the scores you are like what the fuck?" asked Shaw.
"I feel happy and thank God my first fight in the United States went well" Moreno told FightNews. "He (Darchinyan) is a hard puncher but I was the better fighter tonight. Now I want the best at 118."

San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates will both sit for Friday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Chargers still have two preseason games remaining and head coach Norv Turner expressed an interest in seeing backup QB Charlie Whitehurst play with the starters. "Charlie is going to start, and I'm anxious to watch him in a starting role. It's something we may be in the position during the regular season that we have to do that, and it's a good experience for him."
Fantasy Analysis:
It's worth noting that San Diego's offensive line will be without three starters so this is likely a precaution in order to avoid Rivers getting beat up unnecessarily. Gates on the other hand is reportedly "as healthy as he's ever been" and who doesn't love a little preseason hyperbole? In truth, Gates has looked very good and should be a key focal point to this offense. Rivers hasn't played during the final preseason game during Turner's tenure as head coach so he may not play the next game as well.

International Bond Issues - Eurobonds, Global Bonds, Foreign Bonds
Types of Bonds
International Bond Issues - Eurobonds, Global Bonds, Foreign Bonds
Emerging Market Bonds
Emerging markets are defined as those nations with economies which are developing. Among those considered emerging markets are some countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, Russia, and eastern/southern Europe. Emerging market bonds usually include government (or "sovereign") bonds; sub-sovereign bonds and corporate bonds. Domestic emerging market bonds—those issued within an emerging market country—make up about three-quarters of the amount of debt in the emerging market bond markets but because it can be difficult for a variety of reasons to trade in domestic emerging bonds, emerging market bonds held by foreign investors are usually foreign or external emerging market bonds. The majority of external emerging market bonds are government bonds.
The emerging market bond market is a global market. Although in the 1980s the emerging market bond market was comprised mostly of struggling economies, the global emerging market bond market now contains a diverse range of emerging market economy bond debt which is rated from investment grade to speculative grade. The percentage of investment grade bond debt in this market, as measured by some key indices, now ranges from 25-50%.
It is important to note that Supranational Organisations such as the European Bank for Reconstruction, the Inter-American Development Bank, or the World Bank issue Eurobonds, including in the currencies of developing countries, in order to support emerging market economies. The level of risk differs in these various issues and investors must consider carefully the different types of risk they are taking on in with such an investment, whether the emerging market country is in Africa or Latin America, or one that may eventually join the European Union.
Risks of Emerging Market Bonds
Some individual investors have found bonds issued by emerging market governments are attractive because of their higher yields, but there are also higher risks to these investments.
Emerging bond investments are subject to currency risk (as with any bond outside an individual investor's home currency); liquidity risk and credit quality risks.
Currency risk is because interest on the bonds may be paid in a weak or devaluing currency and therefore the payment will be worth less which makes the yield worth less than an investor might have expected. (Note that currency risk is not just a risk when investing in emerging bond markets; currency risk is a consideration for any bonds held in currencies outside your home market, a recent example from a non emerging market being if you are an investor residing in the UK or Europe with an investment in a US Government Treasury bond.).
Second, as it can be difficult to participate in the markets for emerging market bonds, liquidity risk exists with emerging market bonds because it may not be possible to sell them on the market when an investor wants to, or at least at a good price.
Third, it is very important that investors considering emerging market bonds or bond funds understand what credit ratings have been given to the debt issuer. As credit ratings influence the perception of the risk of the bond debt, the lower the credit rating, the more the issuer will have to offer in yield as compared to benchmark government bonds to attract investors. Higher yields for emerging market bonds reflect the fact that there is a possibility the issuer could default and not pay investors the interest and/or principal they are due. For example, some Italian investors, seeking higher yields, invested in the emerging bond market higher yields being offered on some Argentina government bonds. When Argentina defaulted, Italian investors lost money.
The most important point here is the emerging market bonds investments or funds may offer investors higher yields, but with higher yields come more risk that the investor will not receive his interest or principal payments. Take advice from a financial advisor to understand more about investing in this market.

Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
Well, that's a key point in the first place (and I think it's been pounded in, but I'm going to pound it in even more anyway 'cuz that's how I roll).
Seriously -- Some jack-wagon thinks you're going too slow and aggressively passes & swerves in front of you.
Now you know the guy (or gal - they're not all as cuddly and innocent as others) is a jerk-weed. Then he "brake-checks" you. Now you know he's not only a jerk-weed in a jack-wagon, but he's also dangerous with little regard for his own OR your safety.
Why would anyone in their right mind actually want to be IN FRONT of such a person when it's absolutely nothing to just let him go on his merry way? Hell, I'll slow down some to make sure he's WAY out in front of me.
I might swear at him in my car (where he can't hear it) - I might flip him off behind my dashboard (where he can't see it). But I'm certainly not going to make someone who's very obviously (A) an a$$hole and (B) dangerous MORE of an a$$hole and MORE dangerous.
It's not like I'm going to whip past him and he's going to suddenly have some moment of clarity and think to himself "Whoa - This guys got some maneuvers... And I'm really being an a$$hole" and back off... He's most likely going to double-down. And soon the pain begins.

Ideally, just drive to a police station, flag down an officer on patrol, or call in a 911 call and have the gun stopped. The cell phone is a wonderful tool for self-defense in this sort of situation. If you draw that gun, be ready to pull the trigger when it clears the holster. Don't use it to wave around just to scare someone off. Keeping that mentality helps to clarify when the right time to draw really is, and it helps you avoid a citation for brandishing, or getting shot yourself because your aggressor reacted, drew, and shot first as a result.
Here is thechriskarel's original post. Assuming it occurred as claimed. I found no further posts by the OP to embellish the original statement, unless I missed it.

The same happened to me in metro-Phoenix. I had my whole family in the car, which includes two very small/young children. Trust me, I was furious. Difference is, I chose to stay behind them, back off, memorized their plate number, and called 911 with a report of reckless driving.

IMO it's rude to stay in the fast lane if you are holding up someone else, it's not up to you or I to tell them just how much over the speed limit is 'ok' in our opinion.
I do not try to control their actions by responding punitively. It is not our business to control or discipline other drivers, nor to 'teach them a lesson.' Control issues are half the problem in most road rage situations IMO
You want to know at what point can you draw...... Try this next time make believe you dont have your gun with you, what would you do then ? That would be the route you'd want to take. Unless hes coming at you with a gun i. His hand now that changes everything.... Eddie
If you can't drive away (blocked by traffic), sit tight. If he approaches your car, sit tight, and show him that you have a gun. If he opens a door or brakes a window, kill him.
wow guys...great responses on this page. Yes, I was an idiot for passing him back. I did it aggressively, and it was dumb. But I felt like I should stick up for myself a little bit. I will not handle this situation the same way in the future however. My ego definitely got the better of me. I know that since I carry, I have to avoid conflict more than people who don't. Thanks for everybody's input!
When you feel that your life is in immediate dangewr or great great bodily harm will occur. Then, draw, fire and wait fot the police.
Do not wave it around. Thats "brandishing" or "wreckless endangerment with a firearm" YOU will be arrested.
Florida as well as many other states have that law. I amsure your sate does.
I would have gotten his license number and reported an overly aggressive drive on the cellphone.
In Florida its *FHP gives yo a direct line into FHP and they will relay to other agencies as needed.
Also this is recorded; which may help you later in case you do have to shoot.
Call 911 if no other recource is available. I want it recorded.
We're all human we're all going to get irritated at the moron who does that. I get cut off all the time driving in Denver, its a joyus fact of the modern age. Being armed however holds the citizen to a higher standard. Did you pass him and give him a nice visual signal? What prompted the break check... tailgating? If you brandish you're firearm in a road rage incident YOU are going to go to jail not the individual who initiated the confrontation. You should be thinking in the back of your mind that introducing Mr. .38 is a resource to be utilized only when all else fails and you're in imminent danger of being killed or seriously injured and even at that the State Statutes vary. Just because we carry a firearm for self defense shouldn't make us reckless and out looking for a gunfight, in fact it should be the exact opposite. Lets say you do brandish it, now the individual knows you're armed and you just screwed the pooch on you're element of surprise and in court. (he's calling the police bawling that you just brandished a gun at him and now it's off to Bubba's house for the evening) Not to mention, what if he's armed? Now he knows you have a gun and he's thinking... "I have a bigger gun."
Back to your scenario. Assuming everything is on the up and up he follows you pull into a crowded area (stop n rob, Walmart, etc) and yell for help or go in phone the Police. If you're in stop n go traffic and he approaches the vehicle, keep cool and keep a wide enough reactionary gap with the vehicle in front of you if possible you can escape the situation. If not then use your best judgement.
A good quote I heard in a disaster training class I took was: "You can think and train through 100 different scenarios but the one that gets you in the ass is always going to be scenario 101."
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
James Earl Jones
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
Then only time to draw your weapon is when you are in eminent life threatening danger and you are prepared to pull the trigger. Showing your firearm as a threat makes you the BG as you have now introduced the possibility of deadly force to the situation.

Slovakia are lacking nothing in confidence ahead of their match against New Zealand.
Straight-talking midfielder Vladimir Weiss, who shares the same name as his father and national team coach, believes the world No 33-ranked side have the firepower to account for the 78th-ranked All Whites at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace.
Analysis of New Zealand's 1-0 defeat of Serbia in an international friendly in Austria had been useful in preparation, Weiss said.
"We know what we can expect from them," he told the Fifa website, adding that his team were buoyed by their own 3-0 defeat of Costa Rica in a friendly last week.
"When we play we will build on the work against Costa Rica. I believe that the New Zealand match will turn out as we all want."
Slovakia, who are making their first finals appearance since the "velvet divorce" from their Czech neighbours resulted in the break up of the old Czechoslovakia, have identified the opening match as crucial to their prospects of reaching the last 16.
Coach Vladimir Weiss made it clear he regards the match as one his squad should expect to win and has promised an attacking approach.
"We'll be going for a win and the three points that will get us off to a good start," he said. "New Zealand is a tough opponent but I think we have more quality in our squad."
Slovakia had an impressive qualifying campaign in which their 22-year-old captain and playmaker, Marek Hamsik, who plays for Italian Serie A side Napoli, was the standout player. The New Zealanders will also be wary of VfL Bochum striker Stanislav Sestak and Miroslav Stoch, a tricky winger who spent four years on Chelsea's books.
Slovakia's best-known player, the Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel, is set to play after recovering from an ankle injury he suffered last week, although there is doubt over the match fitness of the centreback, who missed the last three months of the English season with a broken bone in his foot.
Key players:
Martin Skrtel (Liverpool/ENG) - uncompromising centreback
Marek Hamsik (Napoli/ITA) - all-action scoring midfielder tipped for big things
Robert Vittek (Ankaragucu/TUR) - imposing striker with deceptively good touch

Schmuck et al. 2001 (Pest Manag Sci 57:225-238) and Maus et al. 2003 (Bulletin of
Insectology 56:51-58)
There is no data in those papers wrt:
"Some residues can remain in the soil beyond harvest and may be present when a succeeding crop is planted. But here's the key thing to keep in mind. Most of this residue is not bioavailable to plants because it becomes tightly bound to soil particles. The bottom line is the residues in plants won't be appreciably greater after 7 or even 70 years of continuous use than they were the first year."
I haven't looked, but if you are claiming that there is no data, I assume you have read (or at least looked over) the studies? ...otherwise, how would you know?

"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
...and if you look at another paragraph in the conclusion, you see:
...note that the above is a paragraph in its entirety....not taken out of context.Many lethal and sublethal effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on bees have been described in laboratory studies, however, no effects were observed in field studies with field-realistic dosages.
The passage (from the same paper) that you quote (above), is from a paragraph that begins with:
It certainly is conceivable that the statements you object to are garbage, and/or based on garbage data....I haven't given them a good look. Do you still claim that there is no data?The risk assessment scheme for soil-applied systemic pesticides proposed by Alix et al.2010) seems adequate for assessing the risks of side-effects by neonicotinoids as it takes into account the effect on different stages (adult versus larvae) and on different levels of biological organization (organism versus colony)
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Im really not that serious
I wonder why lab testing data is no longer Relevant
Im really not that serious
of course data is relevent....
...but what you claimed (and what I called you on) was that there was no data to support the claims made about the bioavailability of imidacloprid in soil buildup. I'm asking you if you reviewed the sources given in order to make that determination, or is your claim just a fantasy based upon reading the title?
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
I absolutely think we need more studies on the synergisic effects of our currently used pesticides....I think we can agree on that. The quote you are providing, however, speaks nothing of this.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Neonic contaminated talc dust has been shown to kill bees outright.
Pollen from wildflowers on the margins of neonic fields have been shown to have unusually high levels of neonics.
The 1/2 life of neonics in soil is far longer than that stated on 'the label'.
I'll agree that we need to examine the effects of entire formulations, and synergistic interactions between formulations, for their effects on Honeybee colonies.
The environmental pollution from neonics via translocation is as serious as the 'bee kill' issue.
Another issue that comes up is buildup in tree injections. When the USDA came in because of the Asian longhorn beetle with a plan to inject hundreds of thousands of trees with imidacloprid once a year for 3 years they made some curious claims:
1. That the dose would be effective in the tree tissue for at least a year.
2. That they would dose each tree 3 years in a row.
3. All of this was backed up by data on sunflowers and corn...which aren't trees.
I asked how they could think it would be effective for a year, and not be concerned about the levels of imidacloprid in the tree (completely unknown) after 3 treatments wrt to pollinators, soil, etc. I pushed really hard to get them to collect data.
They hired Jeff Pettis to do a study...he did a study on how much imidacloprid made it into the hives in the spring when (some) red maples in the area were injected according to the protocol. Unfortunately, it seems that flowers and leaves from the trees were tested for levels of imidacloprid, but not the bark layer that is responsible for killing the ALB....the one data point that would have been helpful in determining what a reasonable protocol would be was not collected. The one data point that could have reassured all involved that a lesser number of treatments would do the job just fine is lost.
Fortunately, they seem to be short on $$$ and having trouble following their own protocol. Nothing could be better for the program.

You do not want to have colonies anywhere near conservation efforts to eradicate an invasive.
They're known to use very large amounts of insecticides/pesticides.
I'm reminded of those Italian beekeepers who went on a 'hunger strike' to protest pesticide use in an EU quarantine zone for the American Grapevine Leafhopper (a carrier of vine yellow disease).
You can't safely keep bees there.
Then that excludes any rural setting where Emerald Ashbore Beetle infestation is being addressed.
So where is it safe to keep bees?
Mark Berninghausen
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
It's probably alot safer to keep bees near neonic coated seed crops (after planting) than near an invasive eradication site.
Farmers are alot better at controlling the amounts of pesticides applied because of costs (they'll go broke otherwise), and they're producing food or feed.
Eradication programs use massive amounts of pesticides, they're very expensive, and they don't want to miss anything. For example, nobody eats trees, last I heard.

They use beetles on purple loosestrife.
Naturally occuring beetles or imports? Chasing one invasive w/ another.
I believe that Emerald Ashbore and Longhorn beetles are treated for by IV like feeding of the trees being infested by these beetles w/ pesticides. WLC probably knows what kind.
Mark Berninghausen
Yes I do. It's an interesting story when it comes to how they developed biocontrol agents (which are themselves 'exotics') for Purple Loosestrife and wetlands restoration.
However, my point is still the same: it's how neonics pollute the environment, and how that can account for winter colony losses that the Harvard study is actually addressing (IMNSHO).
