That was the most stupid thing ever!
a) Why did they need 4 captains to do it at once?! And if captains need bankai to fight then what kind of help did they plan to get from VCs? Especially Soi Fon from Omaeda, she never trusted him!
b) Why not make a test and ask Renji or someone else with bankai (not captain) to do it as an experiment instead of wasting captains bankais!
c) Since when is Soi Fon using her bankai so casually? Isn't it supposed to destroy half of the SS along with every other shinigami in the area. Besides it will smash her in the closest building.
d) She is a much better fighter as hand to hand with shikai not bankai.
c) The only thing that helps to calm down annoying character haters is that everyone's' favorite Bykuaya and Hitsugaya got trolled too so it's not "Soi Fon and Komamura suck, that's why!".
d) Kubo has a stupid fascination of delaying to show characters shikais/bankai for this or that reason but once he shows them, he instantky forgets all the reasons and logic before and makes character use them all the time when not even needed (Soi Fon's bankai is the best example).
e) If Zaraki will by some accident discover shikai or bankai I'm sure he will use it all the time after that.

Considering Zaraki's transcendental reiatsu and its hax potential, could it be that he fights Azashiro at this time? I know it was assumed that their fight occurred during the timeskip, but it would explain his absence now and effectively remove him from plot-breaking whatever little plot there is by soloing everyone and everything.

In short, a far more intelligent plan would have been to have all the captains hold off the intruders while Renji sacrifices his own Bankai... Byakuya would then contact the other captains and tell them how it works so that they can figure out how to disable the ability before they use their bankai (namely in this case it would be disarming the enemy of the item they use)... This way only the bankai of a measly VC need be sacrificed, instead of FOUR CAPTAINS.
What would be even better would be for Byakuya and Renji to do this with Mayuri by their side so that he could observe the seal in action as he is the most likely person to be able to figure out how to counter it.

Only feasible explanation for four captains to get their bankais stolen is perhaps to put more brains in how to break the seal or whatever. IE if Renji and Byakuya were to fail in figuring out how to break it maybe another team could figure it out and then mass communicate how to do it to everyone else.

^^I got a strong hunch that these guys don't need a messenger to know what's going down right now in the seireitei. I joked about it before, but I was kind of serious when I stated that these guys are probably watching things from a magic crystal ball...watching w/ facepalms all around.

I am actually surprised that Kubo isn't trolling us with having the Bankais taken from the captains which havn't shown theirs yet.
Ukitake and Kyoraku:"Bankai" *flashes&smoke everywhere*
Quincys:*use weird bankai sucking device*
I actually see it coming.

Stupid from a strategic standpoint, but if Bleach was trying to establish any sense of "realism" we'd be reading a much different (complainers would argue better) story.
In the end I enjoy Bleach because it has fun moments of "rule of cool", action, and occasional humor. But I will never praise it for clever writing. Bleach peaked at the SS arc in my opinion, and outside of Turn Back the Pendulum and Kenpachi's backstory, the rest of the story just hasn't been as exciting since. But, I still find it enjoyable because I ditched any hope and expectations for improvement years ago. I'm just along for the ride now.

This was a decent chapter. Fun beginning (with a nameless mook effortlessly attacked), and the strategy of the Captains was interesting (even if needlessly flawed). It makes sense that a Quincy can remove a Bankai (since they can utilize a Bankai's spirit particles), but the ease was quite shocking. I wonder if the opponents strength is correlated into the removal (i.e. you must be as powerful or more powerful to remove your opponents Bankai)? Overall fun chapter.

I think everyone's being very sarcastic. (I've been too so I can't really blame you for it)
To be truly stupid to me, they would have all bankai'd. (Ukitake and Kyouraku's bankais could have easily been just absorbed before we saw them)
As it is however, 4 captain releases means they both hedged their bets and made sure the sample size was big enough to work a counter-strategy. (SS doesn't have to know there's only one way to seal a bankai. What if Renji's opponent used a different seal/method? ie do you survey one dude in Wisconsin to determine Obama vs Romney or do you take a bigger sample?)
The Captains are clearly testing the water and it only seems logical. They got a bit of the idiot ball by not connecting the dots between Quincies being able to use bankai and the sealing (aka stealing), but then again you're talking about people that have had hundreds of years of relationship with their zanpakuto as an extension of their body, so it may not seem so unlikely for them to have assumed the Quincies were just suppressing bankai, not taking it away entirely.
Also As Nodt's smile was funny in a trolololol kind of way.

When Aizen started evolving in the Final battle, Isshin, Yourichi, and Urahara Kisuke couldn't feel Aizen's reiatsu anymore, only Ichigo could because he had twice the reiatsu of a captain.
At the end of Ichigo's battle versus Aizen, Ichigo's reiatsu was at a level even evolved Aizen couldn't sense.
In the new Bleach novel (apparently canon...) Zaraki Kenpachi at full power also has transcendental reiatsu, it was so high it could blow away the #1 and #2 Espadas powers with no effort.
That means Kenpachi > Yamamoto Genryuusai -___-

so the quincies can steal bankai, is that news? i thought that was quite obvious from the beginning.
well, they can always look to zaraki. he's the only one who doesn't stand to lose anything. while the others will be weakened without the use of their bankai, he would still have his monstrous powers.
so if the quincies were able to steal the bankai of powerful shinigami captains, how come they couldn't do squat against ichigo? i hope there's an explanation for that and not just some lame plot shield that kubo came up with to protect his hero.

Here's an idea:
What if the Quincy's bankai stealing techniques can't work on another Quincy? And what if Masaki was revealed to be a Quincy all along? See where I'm going with this? Imagine Ichigo learning how to use a pseudo sage mode where he learns how to absorb reishi from the environment for an infinite power up. That combined with the mechanics of his bankai could give him mugetsu level strength without actually having to use mugetsu.
When you think about it, Ichigo's background thus far has just so conveniently made it possible for him to achieve shinigami, hollow, vizard, and fullbring abilities. So there's only one more thing left on the checklist that he's missing. And now that Quincy's are apparently the focal point of this arc, its time Ishida learns who is brother from another mother is.

SANFORD — Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin, pursued him, frightened him, confronted him then shot him during a struggle, prosecutors alleged Thursday.
That's what the probable-cause affidavit filed Thursday by Special Prosecutor Angela Corey reveals. It is the first look at the criminal case that prosecutors plan to mount against Zimmerman.

There was a strange vibe surrounding the NHRA BFGoodrich Sport Compact Nationals held August 9-10 at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas.
A good deal of the funk had to do with our hotel being blocks away from "the grassy knoll" where JFK was assassinated and the fact that the event was being contested at night and on Friday and Saturday.
The gates opened at 3 p.m. and the action pumped until well past midnight-which meant the local Dennys had a surge of late-night cash. Night racing was implemented as an escape from the unrelenting Texas heat-a combination of near triple digit temperatures and near triple digit humidity. Weather set the tone for the event again when the Dallas area was body slammed with a wicked thunderstorm Saturday morning, which didn't nail the track some 40 miles away too badly, but still hurt attendance.
As with most of the NHRA events this season, Dallas delivered the goods-controversy, drama and action. Before a single car had made a timed run, a controversy surfaced about the Lingenfelter-backed Cavalier driven by Matt Hartford. Slated for the Modified Class, many objected to the car's tube framing that ran from the firewall forward and alterations made to the firewall. When the car was approved for competition in Modified, not Pro, many looked to the side of the car for answers because the car's sponsor, Summit, is also the title sponsor of the series.
Jojo Callos provided some theatrics as he spun his Castrol Integra at about the 1,200-foot mark during the second round of qualifying. He hit the wall with the rear of the car but his wheelie bar saved the day and the body was not damaged. The crew used a tie-down to pull the bar into alignment and Turbo/Import Tuner technical editor Gary Castillo sparked the welder, helping send Jojo to eliminations.
Cesar Fibus cranked out an 8.02 at 153 mph in qualifying, then put a rod through the block of his old school 300ZX in the final qualifying round. The crew had most of the essentials but the crankshaft was a goner and they had to scrounge for a replacement. They miraculously found a crankshaft, but by the time they got the engine running, it was the second round of eliminations.
In Hot Rod, Kenny Tran used his home court advantage to grab the number one qualifying spot with a 9.25, Bruce Mortensen was second with a 9.30 and Gary Gardella came out from Jersey and survived a broken final drive in the first round of qualifying to run a 9.36 after repairs to secure third on the grid. Gearbox gremlins got the better of Gardella and points leader Jojo Callos couldn't advance his wounded Integra past the second round.
With a miscue concerning Bye runs, it came down to Kenny and Bruce in the semis. Yet again both racers brought out their A-game and the crowd was treated to one of the quickest and closest races in the history of unibody Honda racing. Kenny won the race on the tree (see accompanying chart) but neither racer was sure who won until they collected their identical 9.08-second timeslips-that's how close it was.
While the controversy surrounding the Lingenfelter Cavalier focused the spotlight on Modified, the racing kept it there. Ron and Ed Bergenholtz finally got their CRX down the strip. Ron went nuts after the run but we are not sure if it was because the car ran 9.19 or because they beat the Lingenfelter Cavalier, which broke after qualifying number two with an 8.23. It was a popular win all through the pits.
Third qualifier Jimmy O'Connor (8.27) had asthma complications and couldn't answer the bell for eliminations. With all the drama running rampant through the class Stephan Papadakis was the beacon of consistency. His 8.51 effort in qualifying was followed up with an 8.50 and an 8.42 in eliminations.
As others seemed to struggle with the nighttime set-up Steph and company marched on. When you're putting 800 hp through a front driver, traction hiccups are a constant companion. Steph was joined in the finals by Nelson Hoyos and the GM Racing Cavalier. This was the first time a Modified event came down to a FWD vs. FWD money race. In another remarkable spectacle of speed Steph went 8.412 at 173.74 to Nelson's 8.415 at 173.74 (no typo). The big difference was Steph's .488 reaction compared to Nelson's .602. It was a close race all the way down the track with the win light answering the question.
Pro was up for grabs as a good number of the points leaders were not on hand. Manny Cruz stepped up with his V6 twin turbo Cougar. After limping into the field with a 9.46, the Cougar, crewed by Ralphy Estevez from DRT, ran an 8.43 and then got lucky when John Lingenfelter red-lit a 7.32 in the semis.
The final pitted Manny against Grant Downing and the Venom Tundra. There were more dramatic turns in 1,320 feet of the finals than in most Formula 1 races. The result sheet shows Manny got a .490 to .564 advantage off the line. But the Cougar bogged badly just past the 60-foot mark and Grant pulled away and his next stop looked to be victory lane. Manny got it back together and did not hesitate getting the accelerator wide open. Grant had problems on the top end and Manny zipped past 40 feet from the lights, winning with an 8.455 at 179 mph to Grant's 8.66 at 146 mph.
There was an eerie resonance surrounding the BFGoodrich Sport Compact Nationals but the action on the track struck a familiar chord as the most lethal high-tech import racers vividly illustrated why there is indeed a replacement for displacement.

Turbo Magazine's Timeslip Of The DayWhile Hoyos and Steph provided some fireworks in their Modified final we selected the semifinal showdown between Kenny Tran (Jotech/Norwood Civic) and Bruce Mortensen (Venom Racing Civic) as the Turbo Magazine Timeslip Of The Day. This epic showdown, in essence the final as Viren Singh's Civic was not running well on the top end, illustrates how intensely competitive Hot Rod has become. Running a 9.08 in a unibody Civic and losing just isn't right.

NHRA/Turbo Magazine Track Conduct SeminarThe NHRA/Turbo Magazine Track Conduct Seminar is a way for beginners to learn the ropes of drag racing. By understanding where to be and when and knowing what will happen from the staging lanes to the staging lights and beyond, newcomers to our sport will get more enjoyment out of the experience.
The seminar was conducted by Turbo magazine editor Evan Griffey and featured input from NHRA officials and Hot Rod class driver Kenny Tran who went on to win the event. NHRA officials ran down what to expect in tech, safety basics and more while Kenny, who started as a bracket racer himself, offered some behind the wheel insight into the intricacies that make the brackets so fun.
The NHRA/Turbo Magazine Track Conduct Seminar will continue throughout 2002 and may well be conducted in 2003. It's free of charge to those already entered to race and more details can be gleaned at www.turbomagazine.com.

He hung a bug zapper from the ceiling and grabbed a butcher knife.
It was around midnight, and the blue glow of the zapper lit the teenager's face. Alex Stoddard put a plate on the dining room table, held the knife hungrily as if the next flying bug would become dinner.
Then his father walked in.
Um, how was a kid supposed to explain this? The truth was that Alex, now 19, was taking a photo of himself, one that he would post on his Flickr account with the name "Midnight Snack." The same Flickr account that has made him an Internet sensation with more than five million page views.
His father, Bob Stoddard, wasn't surprised anymore. In the winter of 2011, bug zappers, butcher knives and unconventional teenager thinking somehow had become ordinary around the Stoddard house in Fortson, Georgia.
A few months earlier, Alex had dropped the first of many huge revelations on his parents.
He was – gasp! — a photographer. He would be hauling props around the house and the woods outside while he took surreal photos of himself and his friends. He had never shown any previous inclination toward photography.
Alex also told his parents, over a series of months, 1) he would be giving up his stated goal of studying anesthesiology at Cornell University, 2) he would not be attending college at all, and 3) that he would be moving to Orange County, California.
"We fought that battle, but I'm not one to impose my will," said Bob Stoddard, a soda distributor. "I did the same thing to my parents."
Alex Stoddard was ticketed for the Ivy League. His father proudly reveals that Alex has never got a grade lower than an A. He graduated third in his class at Harris County High in Georgia.
He was in the Health Care Club. He participated in a state academic competition in the category of "medical terminology." He liked the idea of studying anesthesiology because not many other people were doing it. The sedated patients wouldn't talk back.
His life was set.
"I was the best kid, the golden child," Alex said over a lunch of chicken wings at an Anaheim restaurant. "I would be the big doctor and pay for my parents' retirement home."
Then one day in 2010, he was sitting in front of his computer looking at a picture of himself, his Facebook profile shot. He decided he wanted to have a better image, so he found a point-and-shoot camera that his mother had bought for their last family vacation. He held the camera in front of his face and snapped.
That was his first-ever photo.
He posted it on Facebook. But it wasn't good enough. So he found a tripod in his mother's closet, and took a full body shot of himself. But that wasn't good enough either. Making those two photos sparked something inside him.
"I had never thought about photography creatively before," Alex said.
He became quickly obsessed. He searched the Flickr website, where amateur and professional photographers around the world post their work, and soon found images by Rosie Hardy, a British photographer. She had posted a photo of a man carrying a woman out of a lake in the fog.
"I was stunned by that picture," Alex said.
He bought a Nikkon D3000 camera for $500 and started posing his friends in the woods. He joined a group of Flickr photographers in a project called "365," post one photo every day for a year.
On April 25, 2010, he took off his shirt, wrapped his head in duct tape and shot a self-portrait in black and white. The photo has more than 17,000 views.
On June 19, 2010, he glued colorful jewels to his face and torso. The photo got more than 100 comments. His photos continued to get more creative. He was filling his photos with fire, ripped pages of books, newspapers, butterflies, wine glasses, glitter – basically anything he could find.
On March 29, 2011, he took a fish tank into the woods, filled it with water and jumped inside. His photo "Sanctuary" got more than 62,000 views and more than 320 comments.
One of his commentors was Rosie Hardy, his hero and inspiration. She said she was inspired by his work. His work has been featured in Better Photography magazine in India and Range Finder magazine in New York.
Samantha Nandez, a Texas-based photographer, became his friend.
"The question isn't really where photography will take Alex, but where Alex will take photography," she said. "There is no limit for him. What I love about Alex's art is the fact that he never holds back and will do whatever it takes to get the shot. That sort of passion and dedication to every image comes across and can be not only seen but felt by the viewer."
Despite his growing audience, Alex Stoddard doesn't yet have a Wikipedia page.
"I'd like to be the next big thing," he said with a nervous laugh.
His 30-by-30 inch photos now sell for $400 apiece. He has illustrated five book covers and two album covers (for bands called "Futures" and "Paper Route." He recently had his work shown in a gallery in Los Angeles and went to an after-party where he was introduced to famous photographers Matthew Rolston and Jill Greenberg.
Alex was so nervous, he said "hello" and that was about it.
"It was my moment to network … and I failed," he said.
He's talking to agents in Los Angeles.
"I think he could be the next Andy Warhol," his father said.
Photographers began making pilgrimages to Forston to hang out with this whiz kid who was blowing up on the Web.
One of them was Brian Oldham, himself a teenage photographer with a good-sized Flickr audience.
"I looked through all his photos, and I was taken aback," Oldham said. "He had this outside-the-box way of thinking. His pictures tell stories people can relate to even though they're surreal."
Brian and Alex instantly hit it off, fell in love and decided to live together as soon as Alex graduated from high school.
When Alex came out of the closet, his father was not surprised. Alex said his family treated his coming out like it was no big deal.
"His friends were drop dead gorgeous girls, and he wasn't dating any of them," Bob Stoddard said with a laugh.
Alex moved in with Brian in Orange in June. Now they have each other to help on photo shoots.
"We used to do it alone," Brian said.
Alex said Orange County isn't the most photogenic place.
"I like the beach, but I hate the weather and the concrete," he said. "There are so many people and no natural landscapes anywhere."
This Christmas, Alex went home to Georgia. His father had already bought one of his Christmas presents – an upright piano from a secondhand store.
"He can take it out and the woods and do what he wants with it," Bob Stoddard said.
Alex proudly showed a text photo of the piano.
"I wonder if I can fit inside it," he said.

Welcome to an article without a lot of words, it's just women... the booth babes of Computex 2009. And to all the women in the world let me just say on behalf of Guru3D.com... sorry! Well... sort of :-)
It is with much pleasure that I have compiled this journalistic, properly written and well founded, but most of all well written and articulated article. On behalf of mankind and men in particular, dear girls you will be missed and we thank you very much.
This year we used some pretty hefty camera equipment for 'product' photography. As such I wanted to show you a higher level of photos. This increases the file size very much and since we need to keep bandwidth a little under control I had to limit each page to three or four photos as we have roughly fifty photos to cover."

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard -- Film Review
The advertising and promotional materials for "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard," assert that it is "a new comedy from the makers of 'Talladega Nights' and 'Step Brothers.' "
But those makers in question wouldn't be the director (feature first-timer Neal Brennan) or the screenwriters (Andy Stock and Rick Stempson, who penned the direct-to-DVD effort "Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach") or even the studio. They would be referring to director Adam McKay and his writing partner Will Ferrell, who only take a producing role in this forced, tediously one-note comedy that has the attitude but none of the comic charm of those other pictures.
Despite the presence of Jeremy Piven as a maverick car dealer accompanied by a proven comic entourage, few will plunk down cash for this clunker.
Piven's Don "The Goods" Ready is a hard-living cowboy of a used-car salesman whose team of metal-moving mercenaries is dispatched to Temecula, Calif., to save James Brolin's ailing, family-owned dealership.
The game plan is to liquidate his entire inventory in just three days or see the lot taken over by Brolin's longtime competitor Alan Thicke.
Naturally the gonzo Ready and his team, including Ving Rhames, Kathryn Hahn and David Koechner, are prepared to pull out all stops to save the enterprise, and so are the filmmakers, which is a big part of the movie's problem.
Brennan, a co-creator of "Chappelle's Show," takes a relentless approach to the trying-way-too-hard-to-be-politically-incorrect material, pounding the viewer into submission but not in a particularly amused way.
What might have worked as a TV sketch or one of McKay and Ferrell's terrific "Funny or Die" shorts, quickly loses its potency over the course of a feature-length running time.
Although the cast's up to the comic task, especially an unbilled Ferrell as a former member of Ready's team who met an unfortunate, but undeniably funny demise, "The Goods" consistently fails to deliver.

text: In times of national tragedy we look to faith leaders to provide comfort to the grieving, but in light of the Sandy Hill massacre I have noticed a very strange response from men of the cloth. Mike Huckabee a Baptist minister and a Fox news contributor said "tied the supposed removal of God from society to the increased instances of violence. Huckabee said "We've escorted [God] right out of our culture and marched him off the public square." he went on to say "And then we express our surprise that a culture without him actually reflects what it has become." I take issue with this statement because although prayer has been taken out of the school Christianity has not left the school. having a relationship with god is a personal thing and there are believers still taking active roles within the school system. Focus on the Family James Dobson said the following in reference to the tragedy. "Our country really does seem in complete disarray. I'm not talking politically, I'm not talking about the result of the November sixth election; I am saying that something has gone wrong in America and that we have turned our back on God. I mean millions of people have decided that God doesn't exist, or he's irrelevant to me and we have killed fifty-four million babies and the institution of marriage is right on the verge of a complete redefinition. Believe me, that is going to have consequences too. And a lot of these things are happening around us, and somebody is going to get mad at me for saying what I am about to say right now, but I am going to give you my honest opinion: I think we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty and I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us. I think that's what's going on." Today Franklin Graham whose claim to fame is being the son of Billy Graham said he is surprised that we are surprised. He asks why the "shock and awe". he says we live in a violent and vulgar culture and what doe we expect. So wahat's the takeaway from this trio of wise men? It's our fault…no it is not. Evil does exist and bad things do actually happen to good people. Even children and this is a heartbreaking time for our nation, but there is no place for the blame game.

This month our facilities are featuring oats. Oats (Avena sativa) have a sweet flavor that makes them a favorite for breakfast cereals. Unique among the most widely-eaten grains, oats almost never have their bran and germ removed in processing. So if you see oats or oat flour on the label, relax: you're virtually guaranteed to be getting whole grain.
In the U.S., most oats are steamed and flattened to produce rolled oats, sold as "old-fashioned" or regular oats, quick oats, and instant oats. The more oats are flattened and steamed, the quicker they cook – and the softer they become. If you prefer a chewier, nuttier texture, consider steel-cut oats, also sometimes called Irish or Scottish oats. Steel-cut oats consist of the entire oat kernel (similar in look to a grain of rice), sliced once or twice into smaller pieces to help water penetrate and cook the grain. Cooked for about 20-30 minutes, steel-cut oats create a breakfast porridge that delights many people who didn't realize they love oatmeal!

The malpais. It was a maze. Ye'd run out upon a little promontory and ye'd be balked about by the steep crevasses, you wouldnt dare to jump them. Sharp black glass the edges and sharp the flinty rocks below. We led the horses with every care and still they were bleedin about their hooves. Our boots was cut to pieces. Clamberin over those old caved and rimpled plates you could see well enough how things had gone in that place, rocks melted and set up all wrinkled like a pudding, the earth stove through to the molten core of her. Where for aught any man knows lies the locality of hell. For the earth is a globe in the void and truth there's no up nor down to it and there's men in this company besides myself seen little cloven hoof-prints in the stone clever as a little doe in her going but what little doe ever trod melted rock? I'd not go behind scripture but it may be that there has been sinners so notorious evil that the fires coughed em up again and I could well see in the long ago how it was little devils with their pitchforks had traversed that fiery vomit for to salvage back those souls that had by misadventure been spewed up from their damnation onto the outer shelves of the world. Aye. It's a notion, no more. But someplace in the scheme of things this world must touch the other. And somethin put them little hooflet markings in the lava flow for I seen them there myself.
From Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian.

You may visit and browse the Sites without providing personally identifiable information about yourself. However, this may limit your ability to receive certain features, products or services from Us.
Information You Provide
We may collect Personal Information (information that can be used to identify you as an individual) such as your name, email, telephone number, home address, demographic information (such as zip code, age), or payment information (such as account or credit card number) when you make a purchase. The types of Personal Information we collect may vary depending on your use of the features of the Sites.

When you use a social media account to log into the Site, you may also be able to use certain social features on the Site. For Facebook log in, Facebook will ask your permission to share certain information from your Facebook account with the Site.

This information is collected by Facebook and is provided to us under the terms of Facebook's privacy policy. You can control the information that we receive from Facebook using the privacy settings in your Facebook account.
Information We Collect Automatically
Mobile Apps: Some of our mobile apps include opt-in, geo-location services that provide location-based services, such as store locators, local weather, promotional offers and other personalized content. Some of our mobile apps include opt-in "push notifications." Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services or push notifications. If you consent to location services, we will collect information about the Wi-fi routers closest to you and the cell IDs of the towers closest to you to provide the requested location-based service, not to identify you.
Site Usage Information: L'Oreal and its third-party service providers may also use a variety of technologies that passively or automatically collect information about how the Sites are accessed and used ("Usage Information"), including your browser type, device type, operating system, application version, the pages served to you, the time you browse, preceding page views, and your use of features or applications on the Sites. This statistical data helps us understand what is interesting and relevant to users of the Sites so we can best tailor our content.
Device Identifiers: Maybelline also automatically collects an IP address or other unique identifier information ("Device Identifier") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Device") you use to access the Sites.

We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Sites, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users' web page movements, help identify you and your shopping cart, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Cookies: Like many Web sites, we use "Cookies," which are data files placed on a Device when it is used to visit the Sites to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience, including tailoring advertisements. Cookies may also be used to associate you with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and, if you so choose, enable interaction between your activities on the Sites and your activities on such social networking sites.

We use cookies to track the account sending the referral and to track whether the "friend" registers or makes a purchase so that the referrer can receive its reward or offer. We, or our vendors, may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience while visiting our Sites (such as allowing us to select which ads or offers are most likely to appeal to you, based on your interests, preferences, location, or demographic information).

In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.
Pixel Tags or Web Beacons: We also use web beacons or pixel tags, which are transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email and indicate that a page or email has been viewed or tell your browser to get content from another server. These may provide confirmation to us when you open an email from us.
