It's not liquid...
Posted by 5312854195423759742 on May 15, 2015
I expected the spray s watery and easy to apply. But it's like lotion and definitely not easy to apply... It's fussy :( But I like the smell and it works!
Very strong smell.
Posted by 4890438198283347234 on Mar 05, 2015
These product have a very strong smell. I am not going to order it again.
Not sure it works
Posted by 5600046580698820699 on Oct 07, 2014
I sprayed this on the picnic blanket and could see ants, spiders and other bugs undisturbed by my repellent. So I a going to choose something else next summer.

Awesome product
Posted by 5168250539470220033 on Jul 09, 2014
I bought several of these to use on my family. Yes, there is a smell, but it is a natural smell of citronella verses a chemical smell, and after awhile, I don't even notice. It is oil based, so spray cautiously near clothing, wood floors, furniture, etc. Works wonderfully well and I have no problems using it as it isn't full of DEET or other chemicals. keeps the gnats from biting (which we have TONS of here) and mosquitos stay away too. Highly recommend and will use again and again on my family.
NOT a bad product. The only DEET-free product that's worked for us
Posted by Reviewer2520432 on Jun 02, 2014
When I saw the "Most Helpful" review was calling this a bad product, I felt a strong counterpoint was in order. After my first child was born, I experimented with just about every DEET-free insect repellent I could get my hands on. Most did not seem to work at all; some seemed to work to a limited degree. This All-Terrain Herbal Armor formula is the ONLY DEET-free repellent which has worked effectively. We still use it year-round in a near-tropical climate, and it seems to protect against mosquitoes, sand flies, and other pests equally well. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.

Great but spray could be better
Posted by shoppingmama on Mar 08, 2014
this stuff really works. Only downside it was more of a squirt, than a spray. So it's very hard to apply evenly without using hands to spread. I find this very inconvenient. And it makes spraying on kids' clothes harder since it doesn't come out as a mist. >>>>>>>>>>> Click on my page link above to read about my favourite iherb purchases for my family.

I don't want to put bad chemicals on my kids so we use this. I think it works, and the smell is not bad, it smells natural, not of chemicals.
Very nice

Very effective.

From: Noel Taylor
Received: Jan. 1
The Jan. 1 Republic carries front-page articles on administrative changes ("My absolute best") and city/county services ("Drivers plow ahead..."), which remind me to express my sincere thanks to some people.
I live in an area of Columbus in which, throughout the reign of the previous administration, the streets had been cleared of large snowfalls somewhere between four and six days after the storm that dumped it. Last week's foot of snow was cleared in less than 24 hours.
For this, I offer kudos to Mayor Kristen Brown and her staff, and to the dedicated City Garage employees who did the work. Similar and belated thanks go to those same people for repaving nearby "Pothole Drive" a few weeks before the storm, as it had needed serious repairs for 17 years. Finally, my sincere thanks go to the anonymous person or persons who cleared my driveway after the second snow. I hope they read this.

- About This Product
- Reviews
DescriptionAs you know, the MOPAR and Cummins parts networks have deleted the replacement fuel transfer pump for the '03-'04.5 engines from their inventories.
The offical factory replacement requires you to install the transfer pump inside the truck fuel tank. Pump price is $300. Add in the labor to remove the fuel tank and install the module; $400. Issue 56, April '07 of the Turbo Diesel Register has the details. At that time, the only plug-and-play option was a part number FP943 that was offered by Delphi at a retail price of about $450.
Since that time we have found that the FP943 transfer pump is made by one source. The same source that made the pump for MOPAR and Cummins; Carter Division of Federal-Mogul. We can only imagine their surprise when MOPAR and Cummins stopped their collective purchasing from Carter. Lots of extra inventory?
Perhaps so. That part is now in the aftermarket showing up in a brown Delphi box and in a white Fel-Pro box. We've closely inspected the pump and its contents. They are the same kit.
More good news ... the price has substantially dropped. How about less than $100? So, '03-'04.5 owners, it is time to purchase a spare. Be ready for the inevitable!
NOTE: Fuel pump has one year warranty from date of purchase. Installation of pump requires the included filter/strainer to validate warranty.

Raima's Group
Raima M., 43, is the leader of this group. A year ago she started working in clothing retail in a local market. Retail requires a big starting capital for obtaining inventory, a rental space and taxes. Raima gets her goods in a local wholesale market, where the significant part of goods are imported from neighboring countries such as China, Kazakhstan and Russia. Raima is happy with how she managed the first year in this business. Her 16 year old daughter helps her out after school and Raima has good predictions for long-term business. With the returns from her business, she purchased a dairy cow for having fresh milk products for the entire family. Raima earns 5 000 soms monthly, but it's too little for increasing the assortment she has. A bigger volume of goods would attract more customers. She needs a loan in order to purchase more goods.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

In addition, state legislators were asked to evaluate the extent to which particular types of activities were corrupt. For some of these activities, legislators were asked to assess the frequency of occurrence within their own legislative setting.

May 3, 2016
Folks in St. Marks say it's been a long week since last Sunday when giant tidal surges from Hurricane Dennis rocked the small coastal community. Residents and business owners there have tough decisions to make now.
Seventy-five-year-old Edith Giddens has lived in St. Marks since 1958. Her house is situated close to the coast, but that could change now.
"I'm thinking real strong about getting out of St. Marks, even though I love it. I just can't handle this anymore," shared Giddens.
Giddens' hard wood floors are ruined and almost everything inside has to be thrown away. She says her options concerning her house are somewhat limited because she didn't have flood insurance.
"I can't afford, I cannot afford to have it raised up on stilts, you know, like they're asking for now," added Giddens.
Giddens, like many other St. Marks residents, is meeting with FEMA representatives before making big decisions.
"Men from FEMA are supposed to be by this afternoon to talk with me and he said he's got around 23 to 25 customers he's got to see this afternoon," she said.
Down the road, restaurants such as St. Marks River Cantina are marking the high water point in their businesses, but business owners say they aren't talking about leaving the area; they're working to get their businesses up and running.
Steve Dunbar with the St. Marks River Cantina said, "If folks in Tallahassee or the surrounding areas are wanting to help, you know, they're sitting around wanting a great place to come for the weekend, come stay at the bed and breakfast, come visit just for the day."
So as businesses build back up and FEMA starts to meet with residents, Giddens says change is on the horizon for St. Marks.
FEMA has reported that it has approved nearly $2 million in assistance for victims of Hurricane Dennis so far. FEMA has just started meeting with residents in St. Marks.

2015 MT League Information
Please find
attached the dates and venues for this years MT race
series. Please note change in race order due to
tides. First race is NOT Royden Park. Please can each team provide
a marshall at each race and make themselves known to me well
before the start.
Also for those that were aware of the issues last year at Royden park we
have had to put the following traffic management plan in
place :- ·
Please car share were possible to
reduce the number of vehicles on the night·
Please maximise car parking in the
main carpark by double parking if possible but only if you
know whose car it is and they are happy with
Marshalls in High Viz will be posted
at the entrance to Royden Park and the exits of the car
parks to ensure traffic flow is maintained. Priority
will be given to emergency services and patrons of the
Hillbark Hotel by holding the traffic in the car parks and
clearing the main access and egress road.
Communication between the Marshalls will be via radio or
mobile phone.·
Egress from the area in front of the
toilets will be via the car park exit to allow parking and
access to any public visitors via the entrance to that
Please do not
park on the roadway to the park if possible as any further
complaints may jeopardise future races. Finally we can no longer hold our trophy giving in the Cherry Orchard as this has now
changed hands. We will therefore be holding it at the
Arrowe Park hotel (hungry horse) which is about ½ mile down
the road if you turn left out of the car park. Limited
Food will still be provided. Due to limited car parking
you are advised to leave your car in the Cherry Orchard car
park and walk down.
If there are any
new runners please email me with their name and DOB before
the races.
See you first race at
THURSTASTON on 1st September.

Snowdon Trek Report 2015Good afternoon, the following is a report on last Satursday Snowdon walk plus some feedback.Norman
Report from Snowdon trek 2015At 0725 Two cars set off from Chimneys loaded with kit and Andy/Ian Sneddon/Maria/Gary/Angela/Brian/Lesley/Kyle and Amy then headed for Rhyd Ddu and met up with Yvonne. Once we had got the boots and water proofs on (don't listen to Ian), a wee drink/snack (Gary's Flapjack) we headed up the Rhyd Ddu path for the summit.After a short while the first pictures taken and the weather turned a bit nasty, a lot of the ascent was spent in the mist so no views apart from looking down the massive drops from the ridge. With the wind and the rain it began to take its toll, however once we had sorted Angela's wardrobe we made it to the summit café. On nearing the summit we were passed by a runner on his way down, I hope he knew his route.It was amazing to see everyone in the café and they had all suffered the problems we had with the weather.Once we had dried off and refreshed, looked at the train in the mist we decided to come down the Snowdon Ranger path and cut across at lower level. This we did after noticing a path that was just as challenging across the wet terrain and the odd waterfall, not following the signs back up we cut along the railway track. (Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways - Caernarfon to Porthmadog. It was like a scene from the railway children with Maria making sure we all waved when the train went pass. (Not trespassing at the time!!)Once down it was time to reflect on the challenge, seeing the blue sky was a bonus and if we'll do it again. If we didn't see the blue sky at the top the air may have been blue. After a long drive back and all the drops it was nice to get in the bath with lots of bubblesFrom Yvonne - Just got back from Wales tonight and although it has been a nice warm day the wind has been really strong especially this morning, so I don't think we could have done the Rhyd Ddu without being blown off the top!Thanks very much I really enjoyed the walk or 'trek' and my knees certainly know I walked 9.4 miles (according to my watch)! In all seriousness I am pleased we went up one way and back the other, even if the Ranger was a longer route it showed that we had walked a tougher climb on the way up. I enjoyed the company, talking with some club members that I have not really talked to before and also the non-members. Also the longer walk back was entertaining with crossing the marshes let alone railway lineI attach a couple of photos and hope that the ones Lesley took will be on the club website since I don't do Facebook!More importantly I am looking forward to next year's walk which just proves you have not put me off the first walk with BAC.Many thanks for organising the trip, I for one thought it was a great success.From Angela - Thank you so much for taking me to Snowdon and for your expert guidance. Thank you very much for carrying my rucksack and all your help. I am sorry I was such a whimp! It was a very memorable day and it was a great privilege to be part of such a wonderful group of people.
The best part of the Snowdon trip was coming back down. The least said about going up the better. On such a misty rainy day it was amazing to see so many people up there. The phrase "after the rain comes the sunshine" could not have been more apt yesterday. Walking down the mist cleared and we could actually see land. Seeing the little steam train was magical, not once but twice. The timing was perfect, especially when we just missed being caught climbing over the fence onto the track seconds before the train came back. Lots of people on the train waved including the driver there and back. It was a very special day and well worth battling through the mist, rain and wind. Thanks to everyone for their great company and especially to our guide Andy.
Thanks to all involved for making it worthwhile

Borders League - PrestatynHi
Good morning all,On Sunday morning the club was again involved in the Borders
League at Ffrith beach (Prestatyn). On a cold and wet morning 4 male
members set off and found the venue and then to the course. Glad the
wind was not from the sea as it was against the prom. A challenging
two lap course around the Ffrith park and prom down to the Nova centre
and back was hard work into the wind!!!
138th Andy Waring
194th Ian Sneddon
195th Rob Price
247th Percy Hogg
It was a battle between Ian and Rob who will take the honours at the
next event on the 22/3 hosted by Wrecsam Tri - think at Mold and hope
to have a full team out again. Numbers down by all clubs today after
the first three races of 300plus runners, only 248 ran today so could
of been ideal to put points on the board.
Well Done!
Well done to Ian McNeil for being the 1st in his age group a the Port Sunlight 5km on Sunday, 2016 date could be 28/2 which will hit the calendar of other club events.Andy
An American TaleHi Norman,Here's my Napa story:-The summary-Beautiful day, fast course in perfect conditions so probably the last time I will go under 3.30. The body held together so nothing new is broken but what was 'iffy' before still is. Painful last 5 miles. Pretty even pace. 3 hrs., 29 min, 3 sec. A good day.The full report-A beautiful day, cool, 40's at the start, mid 60's by the finish. A little wind & not much by the finish. Clean fresh air, no clouds. Sun was coming up at the start, initially with lots of shadows & running into the sun which was blinding at times, happy to be wearing sunglasses! However when the sun was fully up it was fine. Gorgeous scenery, vineyard after vineyard. Not quite as drop dead gorgeous as Big Sur but idyllic and almost magical, certainly when compared with Chicago at this time of year! Rolling hills but nothing steep, an overall downhill course & great conditions promised a fast race.Ran the 1st 14m with Bob Jungwirth, crossing the 13.1 only 4min behind my Bahamas ½ time. Just about held the pace for the second ½, drifted a bit with just a 3 min slower 2nd half in 1.46. Succeeded in running the 8 min planned pace (7.59!). Started with gloves and a long sleeved T. Stashed the gloves in my shorts around m 6 and ditched the T at m 8, ran the rest in a singlet. My pre-race worries of foot & calf issues were confirmed. They were 'talking' to me by mile 5 or so but luckily they held out & didn't progress to unbearable or worse. The quads started to tighten just after midway and by mile 21/22 the feet were really painful from the distance & pounding. As the sign said, "your feet hurt because your kicking ass". No blisters though J! The last 5 miles just hurt. I felt ok with energy from the waist up but below that just pain. In fact the energy level was so good I didn't take the 5th gel I brought along, 4 was fine. There were enough water / Gatorade stops along the way about every two miles. Felt terrible at the finish, the medical guys kept asking if I was alright. I was spent! Just got one calf cramp afterwards and as usual I was caked in salt crystals. They had some great vegetable soup at the finish, I had two cups! After the first cup & sitting down & talking to another guy I actually started to feel almost ok.After a cold shower I drove to San Francisco, met up with my son, Laurence and walked a bit around Golden Gate Park. Another wonderful place. The walk was probably good for the legs. Monday morning, 'the morning after' so to speak, is the true test of the situation. The quads were normally post marathon sore. So ok and I should be able to walk downstairs normally by Thursday! Left calf has the same tightness as before the race as does the pain in the ball of my left foot. So it seems no major damage has been done. The thing to do now is to rest up this week with some walks and easy short runs and see how it goes.Overall a wonderful race. The smell of fresh cut grass was very pleasant. I was happy with my time & position. Top 10% in Age group and tip 12.5% approx. overall. 10th/96 in AG is not that surprising when I'm 6 months from the next group, though having said that the winner was also my age & finished in a mind blowing 2.50! I qualified for Boston with 10 minutes to spare in my current ag and a whopping 25 min for the 2016 race, that was very pleasing. The splits were good. See the details in the statistics. The mile 19 pick-up was because I got caught & started chatting to a guy & picked it up, however I couldn't hold him.Early on in the race I talked to another Brit over from Bodmin in Cornwall on holiday to escape the Bodmin hills! Turns out he was my age & finished in 4.03.21. My Union Jack shorts got a few comments as usual and I actually even got one "nice T-Shirt" comment.Unfortunately the time is not a 2017 BQ so I have to qualify again for that race, hopefully after the memory of the pain has receded. I'm thinking of a fall marathon this year, like Chicago or Marne Corps and then London in 2016 as a fall back for Boston In 2017. Though I could do Boston in 2016 and use that as a 2017 qualifier if I don't get into London. All these lottery entry marathons are a real pain in the planning process. I can fully understand why some runners refuse to get involved with them & stick to smaller races where they are in control of the entry process. Oh well we shall see. Right now it's time for RnR or "sit back and relax" as the flight attendants say…………The Statistics:-3.29.03, 7.59 av pace. 9/96 in ag, 224/1888 overall, 179th male/981, 98th male master/ 623. Which means 2/3rd s of the guys were over 40……………..1/2marathon time 1.42.54, 7.52 pace which means I was just 14 sec a mile and 3min and 9 seconds slower in the second half. Pretty happy with that.BQ by 10 minutes in 55-59 age group but 25 min in 60-64, i.e. 2016!Steve

Birchwood XCGood evening
The last in the series of XC races took place on
Sunday 22nd Feb at Birchwood Forest, Warrington, a tough 4 lap muddy
circuit with the lack of rain recently we got away with running through
a pond!!!
Patrik Corrigan, Ian McNeil, Andy Waring and Ian Sneddon took on the
challenge and with the weather changing we managed to finish before the
rain/sleet/snow arrived.
Well done to Patrik who completed the grand slam and did every race,
and thanks to Steve Saunders who ran most and provided the results for
the whole series.
The shoes are now getting cleaned ready for a well earned 7 month rest.

Parbold HillAnother sell out field for last Saturday's Parbold Hill race.
With a 2.00pm start the race began in near perfect conditions, with no
breeze, blue skies, sunshine and very mild conditions.
At 6.75 miles across a mixture of roads, trials, cross country, styles
and even hay bales to contend with, this is a real 'pot-pourri' of a
race, a good test and a run I always look forward to.
From the off you are faced with steady but prolonged climbs which set
you up nicely, not, for Parbold Hill itself !!
Two lone wolves on this occasion represented BAC, myself and Ian
Given the ever changing terrain and constant undulating nature of the
course pacing is key to a decent time at Parbold.
I was pleased to finish in a time of 52mins 37secs. Ian ran a good race
too, coming home in a very respectable 56mins.
All good preparation for this Sunday's final XC race.
Tony Bobby Memorial
Good evening all,

X-Country Race ReportGood evening

the legs of runners must of been a challenge.

Cross country 11/01/15 - two lone wolves made it from Birkenhead to
Patrik Corrigan and Steve Saunders. Another good turnout generally,
which seems to have
been the case with each of the XC runs this season.
Although chilly and breezy the weather didn't have an adverse impact on
race. The ground was, in places, a lot wetter and muddier than
expected but
made for an authentic XC run. And of course we had the beast that is
ski slope to deal with...twice!! Next up in the series Beacon Park
still, in most opinions, the toughest race of the series, but
paradoxically, for me anyway, the most enjoyable, the heavy gang will
be back.
Positions Patrik 65th and Steve Saunders 137th.

Oil painting 24 x 20.
Not completely original, the vampire is inspired from a drawing I found years ago.

Creature of night and drinker of blood I confide in thee. My pain this night...
Amazing! You are very talented!
OOHH!!!Nice shading!Cool work!
great piece
Tats Awesome i luv the colors it matched and making the mood awesome. Awesome oil painting
The bats are my favorite, and her fangs seem....prominent?
Great! :]
love her dress, but her teeth stick out just a wee bit too much, like, her non-fangs? her hands are amazing, though! i can never seem to draw hands quite right...
A lot of people comment about the teeth. Oh well I will do better next time. Thanks so much for the
its not horribly noticable, its just that thats the first place someone looks in a vampire picture. if she was supposed to be human, no one would have said anything. and no problem!
nice girl vampire
good job on this
good job on this
its great! i love that hat, i just love that kind of hats
really good! ♥
its great! i love that hat, i just love that kind of hats
really good! ♥
Well done but you might want to watch the teeth. If she was smiling perhaps her teeth would stick out like that, but not in the way her mouth is open. you can kind of see it makes all of her teeth look a little big; the 'fangs' don't stick out over the lips quite like that.
Besides that one minor thing it's incredibly beautiful.
Besides that one minor thing it's incredibly beautiful.
Thank you. You are not the first person to notice this. Next time I paint a vampire I will definitely work on the fangs.
Constructive criticism is a good thing. And it's still excellent. If I ever drew a vampire it'd come out horrible - i can't draw to save my life.
woow! it have style!! I like it!
Thanks, vampires are fascinating.
Very well done. Her outfit is excellent, the only two things that nag me are her left wrist (the one on the right of the picture) and her teeth. Her teeth just don't seem to be in her mouth properly, and the wrist looks a bit awkward, but I think the wrist can be sorted fairly easily, I just can't visualise exactly how right now.
Thank you. I think you have a point, I remember when I originally painted it I thought I that I over did the shadows around the wrist. Thanks for the feedback
Sorry I didnt comment b4 but I am now! I love this painting it's so errie and is really amazing, the colors and the whole effect is really awesome! Well done!
Wonderful idea! This painting is amazing ^^
Wow! This is amazing! The vampire's outfit is just perfect for her.
very cool, love the bats! ^^
Thank you very much. The bats were a late addition, but filled the painting out quite nicely.

It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:
Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
Maybe worth a try?

Another solution is to download the free transcoding program Handbrake for Mac (you will have to download an earlier version that will run on PowerPC and Leopard) and use their AppleTV default.
Transcoding can be horribly slow on a G4 PowerMac, but the result will play flawlessly on QuickTime.

I am stuck with quite complex topic. I am trying to come up with some universal solution for data validation. We have system, that is similar to cell phone company customer management system, where customers has it's accounts full of information(costs, payments, personal information, events archive, debts etc.) and I need to validate this data in multiple situations. I cant forgot that there are various accounts and some of them need specific validating. What I cant figure out, is some universal, simple and reusable system to this work.
Main idea is, that there will be many 'constraints' that will be used(like: customer has to have name, if there is debt, there cant be overpayment, etc.), and also there will be defined situations(like account canceling, demand for payment send etc.) when I want validate data(execution of validation from code is not topic here). Situation will have list of constraints that are validated, or executed for it. This is what we want.
But what is right java approach to this? Should all situations and constraints be classes? Situations will have constraints instances, and instances will have validate() methods? But each will have different arguments. Any other ideas?
I know, answer here can be long, so I will appreciate directing me on some documentation on that topic to. Thanks a lot for answers!

WIP - Skulk by TriggermanWatch
©2005-2016 Triggerman
My take on the Skulk in the popular mod Natural Selection for Half-Life 1. It was drawn out of my mind, so I had no preferences used except the general appearance (which I of course forgot, because it doesn't exactly look like this) I had in my mind of it. It might be a subject of further digital work, but time will tell about that. I was planning on having a complete surrounding, and if you use your imagination...picture a LMG (a weapon) just underneath the claw that's closest to the bottom of the picture. And then a scary glare...
...the pose is pretty general.

Appeals court ruling in OG&E case is disappointing
A decision last week by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was disappointing, and not simply because it ultimately could result in higher electric bills for customers of Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co.
The full court on Thursday denied OG&E's (and the state's) appeal of a ruling this summer by a three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit. In that 2-1 ruling, judges said the federal Environmental Protection Agency had the authority to reject Oklahoma's pollution-control plan for dealing with sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants, and that the EPA could impose a more stringent and far more costly plan.
The case stems from the EPA's determination in 2010 that visibility at wildlife refuges in Oklahoma showed the presence of pollution, or "regional haze," from coal-fired power plants. The state produced a plan to reduce those emissions; the EPA said it wasn't adequate — no surprise, given that the Obama administration is intent on putting coal out of business.
That goal is shared by the Sierra Club and other groups that were allowed to intervene. Coal is first on their list. Natural gas is next. If it's a fossil fuel, it's a target.
OG&E continues to weigh its options, including a potential appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Meantime there's a 2018 deadline to get into compliance. Doing so will entail spending about $1.2 billion to install emission-control technology, called scrubbers, which could raise electricity rates by 15 percent.
We can't shake the opinion of dissenting Justice Paul Kelly, who in the original 2-1 ruling called the EPA's rejection of Oklahoma's plan "arbitrary and capricious." There was no evidence, Kelly wrote, that the investment needed to comply with the federal rules "will have any effect whatsoever on air quality. It surely will, however, result in adverse changes to what Oklahoma ratepayers pay for electricity."

This leave on vitamin and herbal enriched formula revitalizes the hair and scalp. Conditioning silk proteins and Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B-5) eliminate tangles and provide superb manageability.
I use this on my hair after I get out of the shower, and when I want to style my hair fast. I have very fine hair, but a lot of it, that can get dry. I really love having soft hair that does what I tell it to do without all the sticky waxy mess that comes with normal styling products. I use this as a styling aid, as well as leave-in conditioner, I spray this on - brush it through and twist my hair around my finger to make it curly & bouncy. I absolutely LOVE this leave-in, it makes my hair incredibly soft and shiny without any scary chemicals - yay! Thank you Arcona!
This is one of the first leave-in conditioners that I've really been satisfied with. The fragrance is quite light and not overbearing, the spray goes on nicely, never sticky or greasy. It does help somewhat to detangle my curly hair, which is tending towards dryness at the ends. My hair winds up feeling softer, looking shinier and the curls still holding their shape. I use this every time I shampoo my hair. It does not appear to build up on the shaft. Cut downs on the tendency of my hair to frizz. Excellent hair care product!
This product contains excellent ingredients and has a pleasant, citrusy fragrance. It does not fade color and is only so-so on eliminating tangles.
Spray evenly on wet hair, comb through and style.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

"A short trip across the Rio Parana" Santa Fe by barryg23
Santa Fe Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 52 photos
During our stay in Parana, we went on a day trip to Santa Fe, across the River Parana. Santa Fe is a larger town than Parana and it has a couple of interesting museums worth visiting as well as a beautiful church and convent dating from 1680. Like Parana, Santa Fe is not hugely popular tourist destination but it makes for a pleasant place to stop over for a few days if you're travelling through the Entre Rios region, perhaps on the way to or from Iguazu Falls.
- Pros:Interesting museums and cathedral
- Cons:Not a huge amount to see and do once you've seen main sights
- In a nutshell:A nice day trip from Parana

Tom had a bad game. But he's not declining.
We lost. But so did the Dolphins. We're leading the division.
We knew we would lose at some point this season. It happened.
The defense played well... again.
The offense will only get healthier, and their performance will only increase.
We played a great defense and struggled offensively. What a shocker.
We're 4-1, and as I mentioned before, leading the division. This has been a successful start to the season. No reason this team can't play deep into January, as they always do.
Everyone take a deep breath. We knew a loss was coming at some point, and it happened to be today. This team is fine. There are no catostrophic flaws, or systemic issues with this team. They simply had a bad game, like every other team has/will.
Onto the Saints.

I have a TFS 2008 Build Agent that has been used to build .Net 3.5 applications. I now have a .Net 4.0 app which i want to compile on the same build agent. I have ensured that MSBuild 4.0 is installed on there and all the required componentry is also installed, but i am getting the following
MSB4062 error when building:
[Any CPU/Release] C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets(244,5): error MSB4062: The "Microsoft.WebApplication.Build.Tasks.GetSilverlightItemsFromProperty" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.Build.Tasks.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.Build.Tasks.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. Confirm that the declaration is correct, and that the assembly and all its dependencies are available.
I am presuming that i get this because the TFSBuild.proj gets executed by MSBuild 3.5 which in turn means my solution is compiled with MSBuild 3.5.
Am i correct with my diagnosis? Is there any way to ensure that TFS2008 uses MSBuild 4.0 for my solution? Can it be done on a single team project so that it doesn't affect any other team projects being built on the same build agent?
Note that i have checked the question Build failing - VS2010 solution on TFS2008 and this is not a duplicate.
