And it's worth it, since retailers say e-mail delivers a high return on investment.
Katie Evans
66% of marketers say e-mail marketing offers a "good" or "excellent" return on investment, second only to search engine optimization, which 75% rate as "good" or "excellent" in ROI, according to a new report from Econsultancy.com Ltd. and e-mail service provider Adestra.
The report is based on a survey conducted in January and February of 1,329 marketers spanning in-house teams, e-mail service providers and digital marketing agencies.
Despite the bullish sentiment on e-mail's value, when respondents were asked to rate their own companies' e-mail campaigns only 39% rated the performance of those campaigns as "excellent" or "good," while 15% said they were "poor," 4% "excellent" and the rest, 42%, "average."
Design and content eat up too much of marketers' time, the report suggests. For instance, 18% of respondents spend more than eight hours on developing content and crafting a design for a single e-mail campaign. That time could be better spent elsewhere, the report says.
Respondents said that maintaining clean and up-to-date e-mail lists have the biggest impact on e-mails reaching their recipients (58% of those polled chose this), followed by relevance of e-mail to recipients (45%) and the sender's reputation (44%). Limiting e-mail frequency was selected by 30% and relationships with ISPs came in last with 8%. Respondents could select up to three answers. (ISP stands for Internet Service Provider and is e-mail provider shorthand for the companies that host consumers' e-mail inboxes—and at one time in some cases provided their Internet service. These include Yahoo Inc., AOL Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Google Inc.)
43% of those polled say they use an application service provider or a service hosted by an e-mail service provider for their campaigns, 26% an in-house system (including vendor software they have installed on their systems) and 20% a mixture of the two. Another 6% use an e-mail service provider that both develops and sends their e-mail campaigns. 5% use none of those options.
70% of those polled were part of an in-house e-mail marketing team while 30% worked for e-mail service providers, a digital agency or as consultants.

Posted on 12/05/2012 6:38:28 AM PST by Perdogg
Big news ahead of this Friday's NFP report:
CITI TO CUT OVER 11,000 JOBS, TAKE PRETAX CHARGE $1B IN 4Q "Sandy's fault?" or better yet, "Vikram's fault." Or maybe the economy is collapsing despite all the propaganda one is spoonfed. Considering the recent termination of over 50,000 by UBS we think we know the answer. And while C stock may jump on the news, the end result is that New York and the US have both just lost 11,000 less key taxpayers most of whom are almost certainly in the $250,000+ bucket. That said we can't wait for the BLS to take this data as somehow beneficial for the unemployment rate.

Election do have consequences
Pardon my French its not my native language.
It's what they voted for.
The new abnormal.
Vote for the marxist wind, reap the socialist whirlwind, Amerika.
A new term I heard in training class last month, "normalized deviation" seems to fit this increasing occurence.
All is well, panic not.
The King has no clothes.
This is another Obama story that makes me giggle. You know how many of the Citi workers voted for Obama. Yes way more then half. Elections have consequences! The MSM will not be able to hide the huge recession we are heading for early next year.
Does Zero Hedge have nobody editing their stuff? That fifth sentence in the opening paragraph is a doozy.
The smart thing for Citi to do is an organized break up, selling off the unprofitable and/or unwieldly pieces to right size the place.
"We have identified areas and products where our scale does not provide for meaningful returns," Corbat said in a statement from the company. "We will further increase our operating efficiency by reducing excess capacity and expenses," he added."
Source please? I've only been able to document 105,000.

Citi profits about to be scalped. Ugg.
In our area citi banks were taken over by another local bank with money last month. I figured this was coming.
Part of the monsterbank cabal (Treasury enabling, globalist participant, dumping on their customers and rube investors (investing public)).
Douche Cannon Obama will find more!
...both just lost 11,000 less key taxpayers most of whom are almost certainly in the $250,000+ bucket....
Wild, unsubstantiated speculation.
And poorly worded. How do you lose 11,000 "less" key taxpayers?
where do you get that number?
not to worry it's only another 11,000 bumps in the road
warren puffitt says it doesnt matter anyhoo-investors gonna invest and create more jobs even if barry take 50% of their income
Most, if not all, of Buffet's income is capital gains not earned income. Unless the capital gains rate is raised to 50%, which is highly unlikely, Buffet couldn't care less.
ZeroHedge is a financial blog and a good one at that.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/100233158 Citigroup Axes 11,000 Jobs, $1.1 Billion in Costs
That's nice. Where are the other 989,000 lost jobs that scooby321 is claiming?
I don't doubt him, I just want a source as I've only been able to document 105,000.
I know what it is—but they've some issues in editing on both content and style. This time on style.
But lovely for Citi stockholders. As of noon EST, Citi (NYSE:C) is trading at 36.18, up 1.89 (or 5.51%) for the day.
This is a microcosm of the state of the domestic economy under Obama. People who work (or who want to work) for a living are in serious trouble; investors have generally been faring quite well.
I don't think the author knows much about Citibank, or the banking industry in general. He's operating under the same misperceptions as those who rail against the 1%.

USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham looks at Yahoo's newest attempts at regaining Internet notoriety. VPC
LOS ANGELES — For two years, former Google superstar Marissa Mayer has been trying to revive the fortunes of Yahoo, the onetime Internet staple, as its CEO.
The results? Not so good with advertisers, who are spending less with the company.
Mayer has been on her own spending spree, trying to transform Yahoo into a cool place to be again.
Yahoo had a disappointing second quarter. When it reported results last week, it said revenue fell to $1.084 billion, down from $1.135 billion a year ago.
We talked to consumers for their thoughts on Yahoo and took a critical look at some of the additions to the Yahoo stable. To get the next generation onto Yahoo, Mayer has spent billions on acquisitions (including $1 billion for blog site Tumblr) to give the service a more contemporary feel.
Based on what we heard on the boardwalk, Mayer has a lot of work ahead.
Troy Storm, 18, of Chicago, says that these days, "A lot of parents' e-mail are at Yahoo.com because before, Yahoo was the big one."
Pablo Pannichio, a street performer known as "Purple Reggae," said he uses Yahoo, but doesn't like it. "Most of the time, my computer is stuck on Yahoo. I have go to Yahoo before I can go to Google. I don't know what's up with Yahoo, man."
Here's a Yahoo status update:
• Yahoo is reviving the canceled cult NBC sitcom Community beginning in the fall. Mayer hired Katie Couric to be Yahoo's "global" anchor, and former New York Times columnists David Pogue and Matt Bai for tech and political coverage. Friday, Yahoo hired away ABC's Good Morning America weekend anchor Bianna Golodryga to be an anchor for Yahoo News.
Our take: There's room for improvement. Though the high-profile hires may sound great in a news release, you need to be a good detective to find Couric or Pogue on Yahoo's home page.
Community should resonate with its rabid online audience if Yahoo does a better job of letting people know how to discover the show.
• Three new digital magazines, devoted to tech, movies and beauty and health, offer tips and tricks, videos and bite-size items to read.
The digital "magazines" are mostly more of the same — primarily, collections of online content from elsewhere, prettied up in a contemporary, graphic setting, looking more like BuzzFeed or Huffington Post than the Yahoo of yore. They're all anchored with original content from the likes of Pogue and cosmetics queen Bobbi Brown.
• The home page got a makeover. It's the same old Yahoo but less cluttered with stuff you don't care about, and it's newsier.
• Flickr, the once dominant photo-sharing site, has a new look, too, and it has the most liberal usage terms in town — 1 terabyte of free storage. The changes at Flickr look great, but uploading is a more cumbersome, multi-step process compared with competitors, and it needs to get easier.
• Finally, Yahoo has introduced mobile apps devoted to sports, finance and news.
The news and weather apps are particularly attractive and can keep you busy with information for many minutes. The stunning weather app presents the temps with great-looking photos from Flickr.
In discussing the "disappointing" second-quarter results this week, Mayer pointed to mobile as a positive. She said Yahoo's user base has more than doubled in a year, to 450 million users, from 200 million.
But Yahoo has a long way to go to catch up to rivals Google and Facebook.
The apps have yet to make much of a dent on the download charts. Apps from Google and Facebook are in the top 20 on iTunes' top download chart, while the highest-charting Yahoo app is No. 54, according to app tracker AppAnnie.
At one time, Yahoo was a "portal" to check e-mail, news from around the Web, stock quotes and sports scores — things many of us now get from Google, Facebook and Twitter. Netflix and YouTube became the new TV, and photo sharing went from Flickr to Facebook.
Can Yahoo fit into this new world? It appears the complete Yahoo story is still being played out.
In a conference call with analysts, Mayer asked for more time. "We believe a transformation of this size and scale will take multiple years," she said.

Canucks Team Needs: Third Line Centre
Thomas Drance
May 29 2012 03:05PM
The Canucks had a rotating door of third line centres last season, and never really found the right fit.
Despite a second straight season at the absolute top of the league table, the Vancouver Canucks were unceremoniously bounced from the playoffs in the first round this Spring. Changes are clearly required to put this club over the hump, but the front-office has elected to return the entire coaching staff (a move we generally support) so those changes are going to have to come in the form of roster moves this offseason.
We're spending this week looking at the Canucks' areas of need, for a series quite creatively dubbed: Canucks Team Needs. Yesterday we looked at the team's gaping hole in the top-four of their defense-corps, and today, we'll turn our attention to club's most pressing need: a reliable tough-minutes centreman for the third line.
Read past the jump for more!
The Diagnosis
The third line centre role is an essential one for the Vancouver Canucks, partly because of the unique way that Alain VIgneault likes to deploy his forwards. In the summer of 2010, Mike Gillis signed Manny Malhotra to a three year 2.5 million dollar deal and in Malhotra's first season with the team, he was deployed as an "enabler." Vigneault would hard-match Malhotra and his line-mates (primarily Raffi Torres and Jannik Hansen) against the opposition's top offensive group, which, freed up Ryan Kesler to exploit favorable match-ups, and wreck havoc against the opposition's usually over-matched third and fourth lines. Vigneault also used Malhotra - one of the NHL's elite face-off specialists - to soak up defensive zone starts, which, allowed him to deploy the Sedin line almost exclusively in the offensive end of the rink.
Manny Malhotra should've won the Selke in 2010-11, he was that good. Instead, the Selke was awarded to Ryan Kesler, for his 40 goal performance, which, ironically came in a season in which he didn't have all that much defensive responsibility. In game 72 of the 2010-11 season an errant puck struck Manny Malhotra in the eye in a game against the Colorado Avalanche. It was a freak accident and a devastating injury that almost cost Malhotra his eye and his playing career. Though Malhotra made it back and played in the Cup Finals, he just wasn't the same player and he didn't reach his 2010-11 level of effectiveness last season.
In 2011-12, the Canucks deployment patterns changed somewhat, partly because the "third line centre" role was in flux throughout the season. In 87 games last year (including the playoffs) the Canucks used four players there: Cody Hodgson, Maxim Lapierre, Manny Malhotra and Samme Pahlsson.
Cody Hodgson was the club's most frequent third line centre up until he was traded in late February. Hodgson is a skilled player, but he's not a reliable defensive option or a quality face-off man. In fact, starting in late December Cody Hodgson was being deployed "Sedin-style" in an effort to inflate his trade value. Needless to say, Hodgson didn't offer Kesler or the twins the same level of "protection" that Malhotra did the season previous.
To overcome this, Vigneault tailored a role for his fourth line in which they started well over 80% of the time in the defensive end, chipped pucks out of the zone, and quickly changed. This allowed the Canucks to continue to deploy the Sedins exclusively in the offensive-zone. Without a quality defensive centreman manning the middle on the third line, however, Vigneault's ability to attack the soft underbelly of his opponent's rosters with Ryan Kesler was mitigated - and Kesler carried a significantly heavier defensive load in 2011-12, then he did in 2010-11.
Gillis' moves at the deadline were, it seems to me, partly motivated by a desire to return to 2010-11's deployment patterns. It was thought that Pahlsson would be able to play the opposition's top-players to a draw, and allow Kesler to enjoy easier circumstances. It seemed to work down the stretch of the regular season, but Pahlsson proved to be a liability taking defensive zone draws in the playoffs, and absolutely got his teeth kicked in by the Kopitar line against the Kings in the postseason.
Now, in fairness to Pahlsson, elite defensive centers like David Backes and Martin Hanzal got their teeth kicked in by the Kopitar line too, but the fact remains that Pahlsson wasn't up to the task. That Vigneault stopped putting Pahlsson out there to take defensive zone draws against the Kings (preferring to trust Kesler and Malhotra to do so) tells you all you need to know about whether the Canucks will try to bring Pahlsson back next season.
Possible In-House Solutions
Maxim Lapierre
Maxim Lapierre held down the third line centre role during last years run to the Cup Finals. From game three of the Canucks second round series against Nashville, to game seven of the Stanley Cup Final - Maxim Lapierre held down Malhotra's "enabler" role, centered Torres and Hansen, and was extremely effective. Considering how good he was during the 2011 playoffs, that he was never really used as the team's third line centre for any extended period of time last season seems very odd.
Lapierre's deployment is especially odd because he quite literally played all over the lineup this past season. Lapierre centered the fourth line, while Malhotra baby-sat Hodgson on the third line in October and November. When Malhotra bumped down the lineup to centre the fourth line, Lapierre was his winger. When David Booth was out and Chris Higgins was battling his zombie staff infection, Lapierre played on Hodgson's wing. Finally, when Daniel was knocked out for the balance of the regular season - Lapierre filled in on the top-line and was actually productive in that spot.
So to recap: Lapierre filled in at wing and centre on the third and fourth lines, and was a top-six forward down the stretch and into the postseason. Yet, he spent fewer than ten games playing centre on the third-line, even though he was a difference maker in that spot during the 2011 Playoffs. I think it's safe to describe Lapierre's usage last season as Alain Vigneault's single most mystifying personnel decision - and that's saying something.
The point of all this is that it's possible that Maxim Lapierre could adequately fill the "enabler" role as the team's permanent third line centre. Looking at the data, I'm convinced it's at least worth a shot. Lapierre is signed through next season on an extremely cost-effective deal (1 million per), he's played this role effectively in the past during high-stakes games, he's good in the circle, his two-way game is solid, and his skill level is extremely under-rated. Despite his resume, however, I'm not convinced that he'll get the chance.
Manny Malhotra
We've described Malhotra's career derailing injury already, and we've obsessed over his unique usage all season long. Malhotra faced easily the most difficult circumstances in the league last season, and probably of all time at the NHL level, so it's hard to get a proper analytical read on how "diminished" his abilities are as a result last season's injury. Most observers agree, however, that Malhotra hasn't been the same since his eye injury.
Malhotra still brings value: he remains an unquestionably elite face-off man, and he's extremely useful penalty killer. He's also paid 2.5 million per season, which, is an awful lot for a fourth liner and penalty-kill specialist.
From a pure, amoral "business of hockey" perspective: buying out Malhotra's contract is an appealing option. According to Capgeek it would save the Canucks 1.66 million against the cap in 2012-13, and cost them only 833 thousand the season after. 833k against the cap in 2013-14 is a paltry amount, and Laurence Gilman's cap-wizardry would probably ensure that the team never even noticed it (even though Higgins, Edler, Burrows and Lapierre all are on contracts that expire following this upcoming season).
That said, Malhotra is a team leader, a local icon and an all-around good guy. He exudes the sort of character traits the Canucks want to project as a team, and in the community. As a General Manager, Gillis has proven himself to be an extremely loyal operative, so it's possible he wouldn't even consider this course of action.
Maybe Malhotra can find enough of his game to be a serviceable third line centre for the Canucks next season, in fact, we really hope he does. But for Alain Vigneault's deployment schemes to work, having just a "serviceable" third line centre won't cut it. Malhotra at this point looks to me like a useful penalty-killer, and a defensive zone start specialist. He's a luxury item as a fourth line center, but, through no fault of his own, I don't know that he fits in a legitimate contender's top-nine forward group anymore. The entire thing is impossibly sad and hopefully he can prove me wrong.
Samme Pahlsson
I'm pretty sure this ship has sailed. Pahlsson is reportedly considering retirement anyway, and may play for Modo (Markus Naslund's SEL team) next season.
Jordan Schroeder/Ryan Kesler
I tend to be very high on Jordan Schroeder's prospects as an NHL pro. He's undersized, but he's extremely quick, moves the puck well and is responsible defensively. He doesn't, however, fit the mold of an "Alain Vigneault third line centre."
There's another guy, however, who does and that's Ryan Kesler. Kesler recently had labrum surgery that will keep him off of the ice for six months, and Jordan Schroeder will have a tremendous opportunity this fall to win a spot in the Canucks top-six. If Schroeder can manage that, and if he is successful in that spot out of the gate, perhaps Kesler could take on the "enabler" role next season. Certainly Kesler has got all of the credentials (and then some): he's a Selke winner, he's a stellar two-way force, he wins face-offs and he can clearly drive play in tough circumstances.
Sure, Ryan Kesler isn't paid five million a year to be a defensive specialist, and starting him less than 40% of the time in the offensive zone isn't the most efficacious allocation of resources. But, if Schroeder is good enough to produce offense in 14 or so sheltered even-strength minutes per game next season, maybe it makes sense for Kesler (still easily the best two-way player on the team) to do the bulk of the heavy lifting next season.
The Open Market
While the Canucks have several reasonably attractive in-house options to address their "need" at third line centre, I'd suggest to you that the team probably believes another piece is needed. Certainly the club thought they needed a centre who wasn't Lapierre or Malhotra for the third line at the trade deadline when they brought in Samme Pahlsson, and I don't see any reason why the calculus would have changed on that front.
Luckily for the Canucks, there are a plethora of reasonable depth center options on the open-market this summer. While I'm not convinced any of them can "replace" what Malhotra brought to the table in 2010-11, you could do worse than the likes of Jarret Stoll, Dominic Moore, Paul Gaustad, Jim Slater, Chris Kelly, Jay McClement and Torrey Mitchell.
Of those names, I think we can cross Dominic Moore off of the list (simply because I don't think anyone from the Moore family would ever willingly play for the Canucks franchise, and fair enough).
Jarret Stoll has had a marvelous playoff run and his presence in the middle would bring some much needed size to the Canucks. But before you get too excited: Stoll hasn't really been counted on as a "tough minutes" option during his time in Los Angeles, and he's likely to get overpaid this summer.
The same goes for Chris Kelly, who wasn't tasked with shutting down the opposition's top players this season in Boston, and whose offensive explosion was completely driven by the percentages.
Paul Gaustad and Torrey Mitchell are quality pieces, but I see them as really good fourth liners.
That leaves Jim Slater and Jay McClement, both of whom are very solid in the circle, play difficult minutes and are exceptional penalty-killers. Between the two, I somewhat prefer McClement who has more top-nine upside and is arguably the leagues best single penalty-killer, but I expect that he'll be well sought after on July first.
The Trade Market
That the Canucks are going to try and move Roberto Luongo this summer is the worst kept secret in the league, and perhaps they could fetch a tough-minutes center in the return for their star netminder. Tampa Bay, for example, employs Nate Thompson and Dana Tyrell, both of whom are young, solid defensive centers. Ultimate Sedin troll Dave Bolland is also rumoured to be available, god forbid.
We also know that the Canucks were very interested in Carolina's Brandon Sutter, and tried to pry him out of Raleigh in exchange for Cody Hodgson last season. Sutter is an absolute beast, and would be a great fit if the Canucks could find the right deal to appeal to Jim Rutherford (which, I highly doubt they could). Same goes for Dallas' Steve Ott.
For Alain Vigneault's deployment schemes to work, the Canucks need a borderline dominant possession player to hold down the third line pivot spot. Pahlsson wasn't up to the task last season, and neither was Malhotra, while Lapierre never really got an extended look there. The club has several in-house options, some of which are reasonably attractive. As such, it's probably not worth breaking the bank, in either cap-space or treasure, in order to address this particular area of need this summer.
If the Canucks can get the likes of Slater or McClement signed at a reasonable cap-hit, or swing a deal for a potential game-changer like Sutter - that would be excellent (even though that would probably mean the team is spending 6+ million on assorted depth centremen). However, if the Canucks go into the 2012-13 season with Henrik, Schroeder, Lapierre and Malhotra down the middle, and add Kesler to that mix when he's fully recovered, they'll still probably be a legitimate contender.
Really want to see Lapierre, Hansen and Kassian on the third line, while Higgins breaks in Schroeder on the second.
Does anyone see Raymond re-signing, I like him but can't see a spot for him on the team.
If they didn't feel comfortable with Hodgson playing easy minutes in the middle six last season, I think it's highly unlikely they'll go with Schroeder. Then again I'm not nearly as high on Schroeder as you are. Besides, everyone said Hodgson was never going to work out here due to being stuck behind Henrik and Kesler. Isn't Schroeder stuck in the exact same situation?
As an aside, I know Hodgson asked out and is a horrible person etc, but it's silly to act like he contributed nothing to the team. We were all pretty high on him in January, but now all of a sudden everyone thinks he was useless. He was one of the only exciting things about the team in the fall, and scored the biggest goal of the season. While he was a liability defensively, there's no reason to think he won't improve on that aspect of his game in the future and become a good two-way centre like originally projected. Rookie seasons aren't always a perfect indication as to how a career will turn out.
I liked your suggestion last week about Zac Dalpe... I think Gillis should target a young d-zone specialist with speed (ala young Kesler) and throw him into the fire...
This season i would like to see the team infuse some youth into the linup by adding 3-4 young players with good upside who are ready to begin their NHL apprenticeship - BEHIND the likes of Henrik, Daniel, Burrows, Kesler etc.(Rich Winter take note) They have 1 piece already in Kassian, if they could add a couple more via trade, or in-house promotion as you eluded to, i would be very optimistic for the present & the future...
***It was actually Angus who suggested Dalpe.
Nice article thanks. Some interesting options for 3rd line centre.
I prefer Slater over McClement. Arguabley, Slaters played against much tougher comp than McClement, but his CORSI #'s leave something to be desired (perhaps cause of his 'Malhotra like' d-zone starts). He plays 'Malhotra' in WPG, with brutal linemates - Tanner Glass anyone? So playing this role in Van wouldn't be a transition. A Hansen- Slater- Higgins line would be dynamite defensive beasts.
As someone mentioned above, I'd really like to see the Canucks bring in some young guns next season - and actually use them. I'm not a big Schroeder fan, how many 5'9 centres (with heels on) are successful in the NHL? Not many, unless you flank them with big beasts.
It's odd cause in Gillis 4 yrs here, he's drafted more centres than any other position. Other than Cody, not sure how many of them have upside. Perhaps this is something he needs to address via trade. We've seen Couturier successfully play Malhotra in Philly, so we know young guns can play important roles on successful teams. Find us one Gillis.
Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed that Lapierre was not given a chance. I wonder if his PIM stats might have been an influence. This past season, he took 130 PIM minutes (his biggest total in his career!). His undisciplined play could have been a real red flag for AV! And, it wasn't just him - the team (especially Kesler and Burr too) seemed to have really lost that focus on discipline that they had the previous year! Too bad!
May 29 2012, 11:25PM
Some of my biggest concerns for the returning season. Can Ryan Kesler come as the player we knew 2 years ago? His role is so important so what do they do until Dec or Jan. Can Manny make a comeback? I think we all know the importance of his support for a team, and his leadership abilities. Bringing an injured player along with the team is not the norm. Having said that; I am hoping that he can make a big comeback, but if camp does not go well, I hope that they make the respectful decision. We have to battle back within the closing window. In reading every article my tired eyes can read, the negativity toward Lappy frustrates me. I think we are really fortunate to have him, in spite of the behavior. Still think this guy has skill that is untapped, and we may just see it in the coming season. He is a perfect 3rd. line center, and yet his versatility is impressive at times. He was a good pick up, and AV knew that from when he coached him in the minors. I am not a fan of Jordan Schroeder, he is not what we need, but as a fill in role player, might work. Question; Mark Mancari? He scored 30 goals for the Wolves, no one has mentioned him, and he is UFA again. I will wait until after the draft, but the wish list could be. Stoll will not be in Vanc. Moore; "NOT" Really like Slater, can you do that Mike? Also like Dalpe, good young talent, and feel more confident than having Gragnoni. Can't wait until the draft, and some team player movement. Did anyone win the cup this year, seems like a year ago since I watched a good game?
the Canuck should get gaustad or scroder to play center burrows or hansen to left and higgins or moen to play right. I think that hansen will replace burrows and kassian will play third line with 2012 draft choice tom wilsom with scroder at center 2013

Caused A Chemical Reaction In My Hair And My Sisters!I'm growing my hair out for my Wedding in 4 months... I've been growing it for about a year in preparation for it. Last weekend my sister used this hair spray to hold the curls in my hair for a pre-wedding event... the hairspray held well, but as soon as I put water in my hair there was a chemical reaction. I could smell what smelt like a perm... anyway after washing and drying my hair is fried!!! About 2+ inches of my hair is fried!! I'm thinking it is no coincedence that the same thing happened to my little sister when using the same product... however her damage wasn't nearly what mine was. Last night I spent and hour and about $80 in the hair salon getting clarifying washes and masks put on my hair... sadly my hair dresser did have to cut a portion of my hair off due to the damage...
This was one of the first and DEFINITELY the last times I will use a Got2b product... it's worth the extra couple dollars to buy a product that you know is trust worthy! I am very upset, hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else!!!Jun 7, 2013Michelle / Ontario CanadaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

Got2b 2 Sexy Volume Hairspray Is A Little Too Heavy For My Fine Hair...Well, let me first say I'm a HUGE hairspray connoisseur. With fine, thin hair like mine, you have to be unfortunately. I've tried many different kinds over the years. If you're looking for a hairspray that will hold, this is the one to get. If you have fine hair that tends to get too weighed down by certain kinds of hairspray, this may not be the one for you. I LOVE adding height to my hairstyle by holding my hair up and spraying underneath the layers but this one falls flat! It's just too heavy for fine, thin hair. If you have fuller, thicker hair, I'm sure this one is perfect for your type of hair. If you're looking for flexible hold, this is not the one. It would be a great finishing spray after using a flexible type hairspray to set your hair. But I would caution you on the amount you use because it will take away the volume if you use too much. Smells great though! I DO love that about it. :o)Oct 12, 2012Lynne B. / Randleman, NCHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

The Best HairsprayI have been using this hairspray religiously for about five years. I've tried dozens of other drugstore and salon brands, and have never found anything that worked half as well as this. I don't love the scent (but I could just be sick of it by now)I have have thick, naturally curly hair, and this product works perfectly. I recommend this product to everyone I know, and most of them love it too! This hairspray is not for you if you want soft, weightless styles, but it's great for volume. I also find it works well to salvage hair on greasy days: starting at the front of head, divide hair into horizontal sections and spray at the roots along the back of each section, backcomb a little before moving on to the next section.Sep 19, 2009Jenn

Terrible!!I really dont like this hair spray. It didnt volumize, and it make my hair really sticky. It left quite a bit of residue, and it flaked out. I have really thick hair. what I did was I straightend my hair then i curled it and when I sprayed this spray in my hair it fell out 5 min. after I put it in. Over all the product didnt volumize, keep the style, or not weigh my hair down.Dec 23, 2008Shannon

The Best Hairspray Ever!!!This is the BEST hairspray I have ever used..SERIOUSLY!! It holds strong and last long too. If you are looking for flexible hold that you can run your hairbrush through this isnt for you. if you wear your hair up or down in curls, or curled with the curling iron you MUST try this!! HOW CAN I BE MORE CLEAR...THIS PRODUCT IS THE BEST! I replaced the hairspray I used to use (Sebastian Shaper Plus) with this hairspray and it was the best decision (and a cheaper one at that). I would buy this hairspray even if they jacked it up to $50 a can. It truely makes your hair "SEXY" just like it says on the can!~Oct 26, 2007B. Coyne / Indiana

UK Judge Rules Pirate Bay Guilty of Thoughtcrime; Pirate Bay Mocks Ruling
Jason Mick
February 21, 2012 9:05 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Tropiganda)
To "approve" of piracy is to lawbreak: world's top torrent site is found guilty of speechcrime
The world's top torrent site
The Pirate Bay
has long struggled with legal issues [
]. It thought it left those problems behind when it switched from physically hosting torrents to
hosting only magnet
to downloadable torrents. But an ardently pro-big media British justice has turned up the heat on the site, accusing it of thoughtcrime and speechcrime.
I. Judge Rules The Pirate Bay is Guilty of "Thoughtcrime"
The Hon. Mr. Justice Richard David Arnold
, 51, a member of the High Court of Justice Chancery Division, and long standing QC ("Queen's Counsel") ruled that the site's decision to "approve" of piracy was in and of itself illegal.
In a lawsuit brought against very British internet service providers by the nation's top music labels, Justice Arnold rules:
In my judgment, the operators of TPB do authorise its users' infringing acts of copying and communication to the public. They go far beyond merely enabling or assisting.
On any view, they "sanction, approve and countenance" the infringements of copyright committed by its users.
But in my view they also purport to grant users the right to do the acts complained of.
It is no defence that they openly defy the rights of the copyright owners.
I would add that I consider the present case to be indistinguishable from 20C Fox v Newzbin in this respect. If anything, it is a stronger case.
In the present case, the matters I have considered in relation to authorisation lead to the conclusion that
the operators of TPB induce, incite or persuade its users to commit infringements of copyright
, and that they and the users act pursuant to a common design to infringe. It is also relevant in this regard that the operators profit from their activities. Thus they are jointly liable for the infringements committed by users.
For the reasons set out above,
I conclude that both users and the operators of TPB infringe the copyrights of the Claimants
(and those they represent) in the UK.
In other words, employees of
The Pirate Bay
wrote something seemingly in favor of piracy -- or critical of "big media" -- which coupled with the facts that they post links directing users to files -- which may or may not be illegally shared -- they're automatically guilty of copyright infringement.
Essentially the ruling finds the website guilty of thoughtcrime (by the fact that the administrators do "approve" of piracy, a belief) and speechcrime (allowing/encouraging users to post written links to infringing content -- induction and incitement).
Justice Arnold,
appointed in 2008
, has been a key friend of big media, moving aggressively in 2011 to force British ISPs to
block Newzbin
, a forums site which movie and music studios claimed was promoting piracy. Like
The Pirate Bay
, Newzbin didn't contain any actual content, but merely indexed (allowed links) to a variety of content -- some of which indeed may have been infringed.
Justice Richard Arnold is a key ally of big media in British court.

The British Justice authored a book titled
Performers' Rights
While he has generally sided with big media in piracy cases, Justice Arnold did last year earn the appreciation of at least one major internet player when he ruled in eBay, Inc. (
) of civil liability in a counterfeiting case brought by French cosmetics manufacturer L'Oreal (
II. British Gov't Vows War on Piracy, But Allows Big Media to Pirate
The Pirate Bay
civil ruling clears the way for the music labels in the suit to force Britain's top internet service providers to block
The Pirate Bay
. For now, this will likely not effect the site's accessibility in the nation much, given that the site's compaction thanks to ditching torrents and switching to magnet links has allowed for easy mirroring by volunteers worldwide.
Ultimately, though the ruling could serve as a prelude to steep fines or even criminal penalties against citizens who host the site, and in doing so commit the same "thoughtcrime" and "speechcrime" the site was found guilty of.

is poised to be banned for simply
filesharing. [Image Source: ByteLove]
Britain is well known for its extreme copyright enforcement. Britain's RIAA equivalent -- the
Performing Right Society
(PRS) -- threatened to sue a grocery store employee
for singing in public
, and only backed down after public outcry. The British government has attempted to push a
$1B USD equivalent
of the U.S. controversial SOPA; meanwhile British courts endorsed music labels' cash-or-we'll-sue letter writting campaing, which
sought protection fees from 30,000 UK citizens
British officials have also joined the U.S.
in pushing the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
, a copyright pact, drafted in secret, that enacts new penalties for filesharing. The nation's government has also tried several times to enact a policy that would force ISPs
to terminate users who pirate after "three strikes"
The Pirate Bay
, in response to the loss in the Chancery High Court case, parroted and mocked the English Justice's ruling,
In my judgment, the courts of [United Kingdom of Censorship] do authorise its judges' acts of corruption and being technically uneducated. They go far beyond merely enabling and assisting.
I conclude that both judges' and the politicians of [United Kingdom of Censorship] infringe the rights of the people... in the world.
Ironically, there is some validity to those accusations.
Britain is among the nations whose laws allow big media to "claim" the works of independent artists,
pirating them for-profit, without fear of legal recourse
. Independent musicians must plead with the member corporations for their cut, a process that can often take years. The scheme
pulls in hundreds of millions globally
for big media corporations in the U.S., Britain, Canada, and elsewhere.
Aside from killing public piracy while preserving loopholes for their own seizure of copyrighted content, big media's other major objective is to
ban backup copies
. That would allow them to execute their ultimate goal of expanding users "choices", by forcing them to repurchase content they already own. Top media corporations contend that making backups of CDs or DVDs you legally own is
akin to "stealing" a copy via piracy or petty theft

So Disappointed
"This shoe is so terrific looking I was so disappointed when I put it on. The sole is hard as rock but may soften with wearing and the beaded part around your ankle and foot is way too large. I loved the look and I tightened the shoe as tight as it would go but it just was too large and my foot slid around on the sole. The problem is even if I had tried a size smaller - it would have been too short for my foot. It would fit a person who has a large foot in comparison to the length of their foot. Very disappointed because its a great looking shoe."

text: August 14, 2013 STEUBENVILLE, OH—August 3 was the day for Father Gregory Plow, TOR's big run in the Wild Idaho Ultramarathon through Boise National Forest. The Franciscan University of Steubenville friar and coordinator of faith households did not disappoint: He finished the grueling 53.4 mile run in 18 hours and 7 minutes; the last of 17 of the original 22 runners who started the race."When the going got tough, I remembered I was running for the students who are too poor to come to Franciscan University," said Father Plow. "Most people don't finish their first Ultramarathon. But I finished under the (19 hour) limit and hit all my checkpoints." Besides the distance, the Wild Idaho Ultramarathon boasts hot and unpredictable temperatures, elevations up to 7,700 feet, and a cumulative elevation gain of 16,000 feet. "I got a chance to see both the sunrise and the sunset. Both times I was summiting mountains; it was amazing," he said. Father Plow used the run to raise money for the Spirit of St. Francis Scholarship, a new, full-tuition scholarship for incoming Franciscan University freshmen who are academically qualified but financially constrained. "A lot of people were very generous, but we still need support for the scholarship. I do not want to have 'run this race in vain,' as St. Paul says, so I hope people will give to these students who need financial support to come to Franciscan," he said. Father Plow offered up the first 48 miles of the ultramarathon for each of Franciscan's 48 student faith households. Miles 49-52 were offered up for future recipients of the Spirit of St. Francis Scholarship, and the final length of the course was dedicated solely to God in thanksgiving. Wearing a Life Runners decal on the back of his jersey, Father Plow also sought to promote the nationally-based Life Runners, who pray, fundraise, and run for pro-life causes. The chaplain of Franciscan University's cross country team, Father Plow first began running to stay fit while studying for the priesthood. He has now completed 12 marathons. To contribute to the Spirit of St. Francis Scholarship, contact the Franciscan University Development Office at 1-800-783-6447 or go to the Spirit of St. Francis Scholarship Fund page.

An exciting world of wonder, waiting for exploration is hidden beneath the surface of many Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands. Eleven BLM States contain caves and karst lands, the BLM manages over 1,000 caves in these States.
The BLM is a multiple-use land management agency providing approximately 258 million acres of lands for use by the American public. Caves environments and their resources are fragile and easily disturbed. As such, there are many activities that could have adverse impacts on cave and karst environments – even recreational and scientific use of caves can cause undesirables impacts. The BLM uses various management techniques to help balance land use activities and the protection of the nation's fragile cave and karst resources. Conservation also is a key component of the caves and karst management.

The Lawrence South irrigation project is in its last phase. Carl Fillmore, project coordinator said, "This is a bureau of reclamation project funded through the salinity act. We have 28 members in our group. A lot of the people have their sprinklers in and ready and some still have some work to do. Most of the farmers are installing the wheel line sprinklers, but there are some with pivots or both. The pivot is 15 percent more efficient than the wheel line depending on how it's used.
"From the Dick Allen Hill on down everybody is on the line. Some of the people were skeptical at first, but we worked to show them the benefits and brought them on board.
"We have valves that control the water in the ponds; one of the ponds is finished and the other is nearing completion. The input line is a 24 inch pipe and the output is a 27 inch line. It is a pressurized system. The land out here underwent a GPS survey to determine the best location for the retention ponds. Every foot of elevation will increase the water pressure. Harward Contractors from Springville designed the system and our contractors are doing the installation to their specifications," said Fillmore.
Fillmore explained that the water will flow into a settlement, cleanup basin where the water will settle before it flows into the lines of the system. Each of the water intakes will also be covered with a big screen five and one half feet tall that will filter out further contaminants. A four inch stock watering line is also being installed along in the same corridor with the water lines.
The ponds have both been built to safety specifications to make them safe and without seepage. Soil in the surrounding area was tested and the soil for the ponds was taken from the location where it met the requirements. Pond two will be the workhorse of the system in water regulation.
With the pressurized system it will be filled slowly and then kept full. Fillmore estimates they are two-three weeks away from completion. The ponds will be finished and some main line also needs to be installed. The system will be checked for leaks after it is filled. Water meters still need to be installed at each distribution point along the system. One third of the water in a canal system is lost through seepage. There are also canal lining projects going on in the county at this time.
Currently, the farmers along the Lawrence South project are getting ready to plant; but they will have to wait to water their fields until the system is completed. Fillmore said he has been told that they will be able to basically irrigate twice as much ground with the same amount of water. He said he is happy and it is an excellent system. "The sprinklers will stretch the water and I'll be glad when we're to that point," said Fillmore. Ditches will come to an end with the newly installed irrigation system and the farmers will be able to reclaim and square up their fields. They also won't have the wear and tear on equipment going through furrows in the fields. Fillmore said the plants will be healthier because flood irrigation stresses plants with too much water and then the wait between waterings stresses them with too little water.
The bureau of reclamation funds the pipeline to the property owners land. NRCS funding helps the landowner with his expenses on a 75/25 split and loan packages are available. Fillmore credits many people for the Lawrence South project. It is the result of many hours of hard work and dedication. Brett Behling was instrumental in the application process for funding. Those involved in the Ferron irrigation project were very helpful in relating their experiences and giving advice on do's and don'ts along the way. He also said that PacifiCorp was cooperative, because they like to see these small irrigation projects going in.
The bureau is also leaning towards smaller irrigation projects which have less risk. The bureau has discovered the value in stopping the salt contamination of the Colorado River farther upstream and has spent a great deal of money on irrigation projects.

|In response to Re: What flooring type?-Typo
For some reason, your contractor doesn't want the job, but laminate is an option, even with the fluctuating temperatures. But, it's probably not a great one. Most laminates today are snap together which, while some seams are water-resistant, isn't ideal for a house entry if you're likely track in lots of moisture. Concrete is the perfect surface for ceramic tile. If you choose that, just make sure to remove the remaining (asbestos?) tiles and prep the surface. Good Luck.
: Hi again: The temp below should read 55 F, not C. Habit from my job.
: : We removed the carpet from the entry level of our home. We found broken asbestos tiles at the edges and remediated that problem, leaving unbroken tiles in place in the center. The tile was laid directly over the concrete slab. My question is what is the best option for covering this ugly space. We had contracted to have laminate flooring installed, but they backed out of the job because we cycle our heat down to 55 C when we are asleep or not around. They said that we need to maintain a constant temperature for laminate flooring. What can I say, we like saving energy when we can. Given that we are unlikely to stop turning our furnace down at night or during the day, what is the best option for us to cover over the space? There is a 1-3' gap at the edges that is bare concrete with the rest being tile.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Maybe its Rukia since she and Renji got taken to the SK realm with Ichigo? She serves no real purpose in the war other than being a burden on everyone so for them to take her up there must mean there is some final role for her in this war, maybe shes like a gigai for the Soul King or something, hes going to wear her like a cheap plastic raincoat lol.
A pie in the sky?
Nah, I doubt that Rukia was that important. I would rather say that they couldn't lose more soldiers than that (which means that Kira is really dead) and they had to save and made battle ready as many as possible.
Since As Nodt was confirmed to be alive, we might very well see a rematch between him and Byakuya, perhaps aided by Tsukishima (he did mention that he has prepared every strategy to counter his bankai, or so he believed ).
We still don't know who battled Rukia.
There are tons of Bankais we still haven't seen.
There are still tons of SR's that needs to be defeated.
A whole bunch of other plots and the like .
It just seems so random that the only people they choose to help be healed are the weakest main characters. I could understand taking Hisagi up there or some one else more deserving of the power-up, but not the two who got their asses handed to them on a silver platter without even damaging the enemy. The only other reason to bring them up there then would be because they are going to play a bigger part to the SK story. Squad Zero lets Seireitei fall into ruins but is going out of their way to say Renji and Rukia lol, makes no sense.
Well if they do decide to say shes strong or whatever, I do hope they give her the power to back it up, or at least take out a few fodder SR or something. Renji included, he needs to step up his game if he wants to beat these people. He trained his ass off to be stronger than Aizen, yet the people who actually went to Aizen because they recognized his power even beat Renji, just makes all his training seem for nothing
I seriously hope Kira is not dead though, he had the absolute most awesome Shikai in the whole manga, seriously creative and under appreciated.
A pie in the sky?
^ I agree. It's obvious that all those that the RG took with them have some kind of an important role in the upcoming battle. They wouldn't be wasting time on just any SS grunt. Byakuya was the only one who was beyond Unohana's ability to heal, there really was no other reason why they'd take Renji and Rukia.
- Ichigo - the strongest? asset that SS has,
- Byakuya - a leader of a noble house, they probably can't just let him die like that,
- Renji - the strongest VC, well seemingly , has been recognized as a "true" Shinigami,
- Rukia - the second strongest VC, she certainly has potential since she did take down an Espada (even though the weakest) with only her Shikai, plus, if Kubo hadn't picked at least one girl, people would start thinking that he is a sexist (it's possible that she already has a Bankai, after all she had a Shikai for awhile before the start of the series and around the time skip she would have time and determination to achieve it).
Those are people with the most experience, of course not counting the old captains. Still, you have to wonder why they didn't pick up Ikaku in order to repair his Bankai ? Perhaps they knew that he probably wouldn't use it regardless if it was broken or not ?
Let's not forget that other people wouldn't gain as much from going to the Royal Palace as those above (except Ikaku).
Although there is still time, and Urahara is working on the problem, I am hopping the Tall Skinny SZ lady captain will have something to say of do about Bankai sealing/Stealing.
JB can crank out armies of STs with Quincy powers, some of who survived against Soul Society's big guns. Obviously even Kyouraku lost an eye and didn't do much in the last fight. Bankai's are desperately need by Soul Society.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Its usually not emphasized but I like how Juha restated how Uryuu is the last living Quincy, meaning all the SR now are the dead ones from the past, and this is a whole battle between ghosts lol. But I wonder if Uryuu's grandpa is in the group somewhere? Also why did he say the last Quincy alive in this world? Does he mean the actual world they are in right now? (HM or where ever they are) or on Earth? Cause Im pretty sure Ryuken is still alive right?
Sounds like living Uryuu is going to be the vessel of the now dead Juha Bach once he gets all his powers/minds/hearts back or what it is. Or maybe Uryuu will pull a Sasuke and let him posess him but instead trap JB in his mind ala Orochimaru, thus becoming super Ishida lol.
Anyways, I need to know what going on with the others in SK realm, and I want to see Kira again :'(
A pie in the sky?
When reading the chapter I didn't get the impression that the Sternritters are dead/just souls.
Ishida being the last quincy alive could also mean that the SR aren't really quincy, just some humans that were tought quincy powers by Bach, which doesn't seem to be the same as having blood relation to him as even somebody with a non Quincy parent isn't considered a true quincy anymore.
Ok, so I just thought of a way for the Bankai's to be regained and Orihime to do something useful. She could reject the Bankais being stolen. I know we've only seen her reject physical wounds, but if she truly can "reject anything" then I take it she can reject the Bankais being stolen.

NatureScape/Homeowner Richard Allen & Steve GrzywaczOakland Park, FL 33334
In creating my yard habitat, I was inspired by my childhood home's lush and tropical environment in Costa Rica and my property's present needs with regard to our South Florida environment. I endeavored to incorporate native vegetation that would provide food and shelter to the fauna that lives and visits as well as create a native Florida feel to the cozy and cocoonish feel to the yard. I wanted an outside living area with individual "rooms" in which I could create unique views and interests.
I incorporated the tropical feel with a collection of palm trees (native and exotic) with and understory that includes native vegetation that would be able to provide a natural environment for the fauna that presently calls my yard home. I incorporated the nondescript Plumerias as staging areas for birds and epiphytic plants (orchids, tillandsia, and bromeliads) to which I catered to their needs. My yard is constantly being visited by a large diversity of birds which, eat, roost, and sleep in the trees and palms.
My yard has very little sod, mainly found only in the swell in the front yard and a small oval patch in the back for my dog's needs. The rest of the yard is a combination of beds and gravel pathways. Standing at one end of the yard it is not possible to see the other from any position. This created a sense of being in a larger yard without limits. This type of design also allowed me to maximize my beds and increase the density of their plantings. This in turn has created hiding spots for glass snakes, lizards, tree frogs, plus the passing visits from opossums, raccoons, and squirrels. We do have exotic visitors and residents such as the Cuban Anole, curly-tailed lizard, Cuban tree frog, and Buffo toad.
The combination of native and exotic plantings allowed me to reduce the amount of water needed to maintain the plants happy and healthy. The larger palms and trees provide sun and wind protection to the lower shrubs which in turn shade the ground. A thick layer of mulch has also increased the amount of water retention in the soil.
The mulch has had a very important side effect in that thanks to its breakdown over the years and constant replenishment in addition to the use of old fronds/leaves, we have been able to create a very thin layer of soil above the ever present sand and construction debris with which I inherited the house. The improved soil has increased the presence of earthworms and other insects found in the soil and are helping me create my little paradise and feed my resident fauna.
Visiting my yard is like entering into a lush forest where you can find native plants flourishing around plants from other parts of the world. The Firebush, Black Ironwood, and Silver Buttonwood provide shelter and shade to orchids, begonias, porter weed, and pepperonia. Come visit and stay for a bit.

One of the most exciting aspects of this landscape feature is the opportunity to educate students about the importance of native landscapes as opposed to exotic and invasive ones. It provides the opportunity to explain what is native and what is exotic and why exotics are so damaging to our environment. Where once was a high maintenance (high impact) lawn is a low maintenance (low impact) wildflower meadow and outdoor classroom. Students who are members of the GREEN Team (Gardening, Recycling, and Environmental Education Network) learn about sustainable gardening practices and help maintain the planted areas on campus including the wildflower meadow. Wildflower species include coreopsis, yellowtop, blanket flower, beach sunflower, powderpuff mimosa, and black-eyed susan.
The meadow is described by experts as a 'repopulation engine' and is perfect for man-made disturbed sites. Additional advantages in the Ecology, Economy, Aesthetics and Heritage of native plants and wildflowers:

NatureScape/Special AchievementKelly Heffernan, Program DirectorSouth Florida Audubon Society's Project Perch
Project Perch is creating a real life "hoot" in Broward County. Kelly Heffernan, an avian biologist, started Project Perch for the South Florida Audubon Society to protect and nurture Burrowing Owls as well as document changes in this bird population of special concern.Project Perch has partnered with Brian Mealey, Executive Director of the Institute of Wildlife Sciences, NatureScape Broward, and the SPCA Wildlife Care Center.
Twenty Broward County schools have participated thus far in educating children and youth about ways to care for, protect and count the owls. Activities have included making a wildlife journal, creating artificial burrows, providing perches, signs, stakes and rope, and learning how to become "Certified Burrow Caretakers Annual bird census of these owls during breeding season has been important in documenting changes to this population and to feed into national databases.
Because lawn mowing equipment is heavy and damages burrows, the creation of artificial burrows has been an important part of the process of saving the Burrowing Owls. It also facilitates relocating burrows away from unsafe areas of school grounds. The school children have also learned how to create native landscape beds and artificial nest boxes complete with web cams powered by solar panels. They are prepared to participate in the SPCA Wildlife Care Center's release of rehabilitated Burrowing Owls.

Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found in colorful food sources including citrus fruits, berries, cruciferous vegetables, tomatoes, and peppers. It is a key antioxidant required for protecting against free-radical damage and cell repair. It also helps support the longevity of Vitamin E. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for nearly all areas of health including immunity and healing, but it is not created naturally in our bodies. We must consume a sufficient amount through our diet or supplementation.
Vitamin C is one of the most exhaustively studied of all vitamins, and there is a promising amount of clinical research to support the fact that Vitamin C is highly beneficial for a variety of body functions. These include its powerful antioxidant protection, its role in the formation of collagen, blood vessel health and wound healing, and its ability to protect the body from damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS).
It is also a very effective nutrient for maintaining a healthy immune system. Vitamin C mediates the inflammatory pathways throughout your body, fighting various sources of inflammation and increasing overall immunity. It boosts your energy levels and increases stamina, and it also helps other important nutrients become quickly and effectively absorbed into your body. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.
InVite's Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 1000mg supplement includes 1000mg of Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid per one (1) tablet serving, providing 1667% DV of Vitamin C.
As a dietary supplement for adults, take one (1) tablet, one to three times a day with meals or a snack, or use as directed by a healthcare professional.

Hiking in Prince Albert National Park is generally over gently rolling, forested hills with very little change in elevation or along lakeshores and water courses. A number of short walking trails are easily accessible from the road. Many are interpreted through signs or brochures. Because of their short lengths and good walking surfaces, hiking boots are generally not required on these trails.
Before venturing out, please read the brochure, 'You Are In Bear Country' and remember - you pack it in, you pack it out - no littering.
BE PREPARED FOR ALL EMERGENCIES! Backcountry travellers in all seasons should be self reliant and fully prepared to deal with any mishaps which may arise on their outings. Trailheads are not patrolled on a daily basis.

By By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Both Emery High basketball teams went into the holiday break by sneaking out a three-point victory in their final pre-Christmas outing. At home the Spartan men's team defeated Union 55-52 and on the road the Emery ladies defeated Millard 62-59.
The Emery-Millard game finished much closer than it was played the entire night as the Eagles points came in a flurry at the end of the contest. Emery led by 20 throughout a lot of the second half before barely sneaking out the win.
The Emery men on the other hand were in a dogfight all night long and actually trailed late in the game before they managed to pull out the win.
Emery led 15-7 after the first quarter in what turned out to be the biggest lead of the night that either team would have. At the half, Emery led 20-17. The two teams were tied at 41-41 after the third quarter before the Spartans grabbed the win at the end of the game.
Sophomore Dillon Wilstead, maybe playing the best game of his Spartan career, led the team with 21 points. Junior Bailey Faimalo, the leading scorer for the season for Emery, followed with 10 points.
The rest of the scoring was a balanced affair as four Spartans scored five points each in the game and another scored four points. Brendon Jorgensen, Spencer Labrum, Dawson Jensen and Corbin Barnett each had five while Curtis Mason was right behind them.
Faimalo led the team with 4 steals while Jorgensen and Jensen each had 5 rebounds for Emery. Jorgensen had 2 assists for Emery.
The Lady Spartans had nine different players score in their game. Ashlynn Allred led the team with 11 points with Jeridi Price and Hannah Dyer right behind with 9 points each.
