Not for daytime! Beware!

OK, I didn't read the blurb by Reviva about using it only nightly. And they say that for good reason: this stuff is greasy, greasy, greasy! However, in the daytime, my hands are starting to look somewhat creepy, and it works wonders under my sunscreen. I just wish I could use it in the day under makeup, but if I did I think my eyes would slip out of their sockets it's so greasy. However, it seems to work well overall...just have to remember not to use it in the day...haha!

The wrinkles/rings around my throat are going away! This is very good, you only need a small amount as it goes a long way. I only use at night time. I will be buying again.

Excellent price! This is very thick, so I use little bits at a time. I used a bit too much one night and it made my eyes water for a few minutes. As someone else said, don't use this during the day under your eyes, it's way too thick & greasy! I have used it on the rest of my face occasionally at night, but not too often, since it is so rich I think it might cause a breakout on my combination skin if used frequently. Wish it were in a pump instead of a jar.

Definitely firms and plumps the delicate skin around the eyes and great for the neck...i even take a little of the leftover cream on my fingers and apply it around and on the lips...it actually will make the lips look and feel more plump! 3 products in one....a real value.

THEEEEE most beautiful eye cream on the universe. Yes, it's rich and some may describe as greasy, but this product is TOP shelf...!!! I use it for the eye, throat and lip area. Beautiful. Highly recommended.

Thread: Your favorite leather?
Leather scents seem to be enjoying a bit of a sudden renaissance these days with recent years having seen scores of exciting new releases, rereleases and, not least, renewed interest in the fabled classics of this very old and distingished fragrance category. But which one is your favorite leather interpretation?
I enjoy a lot of the fragrances on the list (and certainly classics like Knize Ten and Cuir de Russie), but having to pick my favorite at the moment I'd go for a much newer one; my vote goes to Dior's dirty civet-heavy Leather Oud. Which one(s) do you enjoy or admire the most? It might not even be on the list...

Knize Ten gets my vote, although I find it too strong for me to wear. It's an authentic leather though and that's why I chose it.
Why isn't Chanel Antaeus in this list? Or Fahrenheit even?
On a side note, I think I'd probably classify Fahrenheit as more of a gasoline/petrol scent than a leather, and certainly compared to Leather Oud...
Double post
I still stand by my vote for Knize Ten.
with the exception of Tuscan Leather and Cuir Amethyste, I love all the others with Puredistance M, Knize Ten, Bandit, Derby and Chanel's Cuir De Russie forming my top five (in no prticular order).

Tuscan Leather for me. I just received another 4 mil sample of it yesterday. Great stuff
I have only tried 5 - 6 of that list, but I love Chanel's current EDT of Cuir de Russie (leather, iris and other interests) and also Heeley's Cuir Pleine Fleur, for it's dry, austere take on soft leather and florals.

Tough choice. I ultimately went with Bandit, but Rien is up there. And so are many others.
For the ultimate in leathery-ness, you should smell (but not wear) that realistic impression of drowing into a tannery pool, Complex by Boadicea.
+ 2 Im really for Helmut Lang Curion as an overall leather scent. Not an easy one to come across, either.

I have to admit that I have not sampled many on the list but of those listed I voted for Leather Oud. One not listed that is my top favorite is Parfums Regence Kolnisch Juchten. Dark and deep Russian Leather. Smells a bit like a campfire and a bit meaty to start.
Some Favorites
1. Amouage Epic man
2. Dior Leather Oud
3. Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Black
4. Le Labo Patchouli 24
5. Amouage Opus VII
6. Byredo Bullion
7. Norma Kamali Incense
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Tuscan Leather is by far the most amazing smelling leather based fragrance ever made!!
My 3 Signature Scents:
Rive Gauche Light (2004)
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
I haven't smelled them all but my favorites are Cuiron, M, and Dior Homme Cologne.
I also really like Poivre Samarcande, which to my nose smells more than leather than anything. I guess because it's so peppery people always talk about the pepper instead of the leather.
Thank you, everybody! It seems clear by now that three fragrances - Tuscan Leather, Knize Ten, and Cuir de Russie - score much higher than the others, but it's still a pretty close race between those three contenders. Leather Oud and Derby follow suit at a much slower pace in 4th and 5th position. It's been very interesting to follow the voting, and the poll has yielded some surprises, as well: Only one vote for Peau d'Espagne and three for Cuir Mauresque place them both at the very bottom. I for one hadn't seen that coming - very interesting!
Thanks, guys - and please go on voting. The poll stays open.
Farina Kölnisch Juchten, Chanel Cuir de Russie Parfum, Creed Cuir de Russie, Cuir de Lancome

I have a hard time enjoying leather fragrance. But I like leather as an ingredient in a more complicated perfume. My favorite of these "mostly leathers" are: (1) Leather Oud, (2) Or Black, (3)Kolnisch Juchten (Regence), (4) M PureD
Soft suede scents that have a leather suede note, are "almost leather" but probably not really leather scents, these are my favorites: (1) Nuit de Sens by Louis Feraud, (2) Soivohle Leather Krem, (3) MFK Oud, (4) Dzongkha
im going to throw one more hat into the ring- its pinaud clubman special reserve. seems like ive been tooting its horn a lot here lately. it is the best leather ive smelled yet. including bel ami and knize ten- hear me out... clubman special reserve is leather. all the others are leather and sweet or leather and rose or leather and smoke and cinnamon, or whatever. pinaud is leather. period. and it smells really really nice. thats my vote.
Royal English Leather
Eau Sauvage Fraicheur Cuir - not the most evocative of leather, but nice.
Axe Music could be a Tuscan Leather flanker, theyre that similar.
I tried Tom Ford Tuscan Leather yesterday, for a full wearing, and found it to be nothing but fruit in the last hours.
Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella, it reminds me of my late Uncle's 1967 Jaguar XJE, parked in the garage with the leather seats and gasoline fumes and oil soaked floors...nostalgia-1.jpg

What a surprise the MT-07 is. It's light, friendly, punchy, fast, frugal and more fun than it has a right to be. We reckon for everyday use and shorter-distance riding it's actually better than the bigger, more expensive, MT-09. It's such a superb performer and well built, the MT-07 would still knock us sideways if it was a grand more ...

Fab Melo has been tearing up the D-League. But it's not his stats that have gotten the big Brazilian, taken 22nd overall, his call-up to Boston. It's clumsiness.
Melo left the Maine Red Claws because of rules that mandate a player must be on the NBA roster to be treated by the team's medical staff. According to the team, Melo recently suffered a "non-sports-related concussion", and needs to be a Celtic to use the team's trainers and medical facilities. It's the same reason he was called up last month after suffering a leg injury. How exactly did he hurt himself this time?
Fab says he suffered concussion when he ran into door at hotel room. #CelticsTalk— Kyle Draper (@kylerdraper) January 2, 2013
Doc Rivers couldn't help but laugh.
"What did you have, 'Manny being Manny?'" Rivers said. "Well, in five years when Fab's playing terrific for us here, we're going to have some 'Fab being Fab' moments."

Stamina trinket is an absolut nobrainer for me.
Second trinket is more of an issue. I would have said the expertise/smartheal (expertise is just as good as mastery, reforging ftw) but I'm not sure if the heal is big enough to matter in any way...
Hi fellow tanks,
I wanted to start a little discussion about the new tanking trinkets introduced in 5.2
As far as I know, the following trinkets are available for tanking:
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94516 (Mastery - MaxHP use)
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94527 (Expertise - Sub 35% HP heal proc)
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94518 (Dodge - Dodge proccs mastery)
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94528 (Stam - Absorb use)
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94507 (Mastery - Dodge use)
Another 2 trinkets could be used for tanking(, but were originally dps trinkets):
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94508 (Expertise - Strength proc)
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94515 (Hit - Strength proc)
As far as I know, a lot of tanks (like myself) used dual stam trinkets in 5.0/5.1 and socketed rating stats, because gems had better stat budget for ratings, where trinkets had more stam than ratings stats per slot.
This won´t be possible in 5.2, because there is only one stam trinket available and the item level difference makes 5.2 avoidance trinkets probably more attractive then 5.0 stam ones.
Which trinkets will you be using and why do you think, it would serve your style best?
And yes, I know that good tanks switch trinkets by boss, but there is always a "default combo", you will wear until you know better
I obviously aim for the stam trinket for one trinket slot, but the other slot gives me a headache (and I still try to figure out what to spend my valor on, but that would better be discussed in halp!...).
Let´s see your thoughts!
Stamina trinket is an absolut nobrainer for me.
Second trinket is more of an issue. I would have said the expertise/smartheal (expertise is just as good as mastery, reforging ftw) but I'm not sure if the heal is big enough to matter in any way...
Interestingly the VP Mastery trinket does not share a CD with the Liquid Courage trinket or the engi hand enchant.
Same Soul Barrier Seems to be the nicest, though Ji-kun's and Fortitude do seem nice as well depending if you're reacting to damage spiike or pre-empting them. Arguably the Soul Barrier's on use does seem kinda weak unless there's a Soul Reaper type mechanic.

What's confusing to me is Mr. Robot is highly rating http://www.wowhead.com/item=94508 (Expertise - Strength proc) as a Tanking Trinket. They still call http://www.wowhead.com/item=79329 as a BiS item at iLvl 476 even in 5.2...?!?
well That depends on how much you value Askmrrobots defualt stat wieghts, and they tend to massively overwieght stamina.

AMR can't seem to keep up their defaults with actual real-world weights, no matter how much the owner asks for input on MMOC (which has a similar guide to the one stickied here, at least as far as stats are concerned). You have to put your own weights in, regardless and Niuzao shouldn't be BiS for any raid as there was always Lao's and Jade Warlord available in the first tier.
Some more thoughts about the new trinkets.
The passive mastery is the best passive rating stat a trinket may have. I value mastery greater than hit or expertise on trinkets, simply because I often run into reforging problems with the hit/exp caps when the chunks to reforge become to large - suddenly you can´t reforge enough of it away to not overcap.
The use is a little bit more complicated. Since a warrior already has last stand (and rallying cry), another maxHP use is of questionable use. Probably it should be paired with last stand, since they should work together (last stand increasing the bonus HP granted by the trinket).
Passive Expertise is nice of course, but as stated above it can create reforging issues.
The procc is "only" 40k, but it´s there when you need it, particulary since you won´t get instantly from 35% to 100% in one heal as in earlier expansions. So it will rarly be wasted or overheal. If 40k will actually save you from death is another matter, but a heal is a heal is a heal. Raidbuffed warrior tanks will sit at between 600 and 700k with only one stam trinket (probably more, didn´t see numbers for full T15 gear), so 40k is something like at least 5%.
A heal after taking damage will not help you survive damage you would not without the trinket, like damage reducing trinkets.
Notable that this is the only tank trinket this tier that will somehow help against magic damage.
Static dodge is meh. Can be reforged but still. Would be a little bit more attractive if there wouldn´t be that many dodge tank items this tier anyway, but you can hardly keep the DRs low.
The proc, omg, what a horrible proc for a warrior tank. 4% chance on a dodge (which will not be very often) to procc mastery (at least). This will probably be left to agi tanks, I can not see me wearing this. Rather stick to the old stam trinkets.
Static stam is king on trinkets. Think noone will disagree here.
The use depends heavily on the fight. If I read it correctly, it will be most efficient against fast, "low" damage swings like from a DW boss or similar. Won´t be that strong against the big bang blows. Still it is a damage reduction and not only a chance or a heal. You press it, you take less damage.
Again static mastery. I like it.
The use is a dodge one, but a little bit special. It´s decreasing nature has one big advantage: If youre about to drop low and you know it, you will get a frontloaded avoidance burst that will help immediately and as it decreases, things should have normalized anyway. I didn´t do the math, but I think the average dodge seems a little low compared to the DMC, which gives 8k dodge on a 1min CD. Maybe someone has more information about this?
Static expertise as earlier.
Strength proc will give a big amount of parry and not neglectable dps. Biggest downside for me is the proc nature, since I strongly prefer use trinkets to proc trinkets as a tank. I tried to convice myself to buy it instead of the other valor trinket, since I could also use it for dps, but I never do dps in current raids. It´s most likely viable, but I doubt that it´s one of the better ones.
Static hit is more or less the same as static expertise. A little worse since you need less hit rating to cap than expertise, which leads to even more problematic reforging.
Another strength proc, but a backloaded one, which is in my opinion the worst choice of all trinkets a warrior tank might use this tier.
My plan:
As already stated I prefer use trinkets as a tank. Since the barrier will be out of reach for several weeks for me, I have to choose between the other ones and the old stam trinkets.
My current plan is to buy the mastery/dodge use from valor and pair it with the stam/mastery use from mogu trash. Then switch the old stam trinket for the heal proc and finally replace on of them for the barrier, as soon as it gets available for me (most likely LFR first, depending on our 10m progress)
Would like to hear more thoughts
Last edited by Akolon; 05-02-2013 at 06:10 AM.
I'm thinking i'll go with 3 trinkets this tier. This may be subject to change if there's a sizable enough Tank-Killing-Lazer-Of-Doom on any of the bosses this tier, I haven't acquainted myself with the mechanics for the later part of the instance though.
Trinket slot 1: Ji-Kun's Rising Winds(Expertise/Smart-heal)
I'm picking this partially because I am far from impressed with the majority of the trinkets we have to choose from in this tier. Don't get me wrong though, I think it's a good trinket, I would just prefer it not have expertise on it since that makes swapping it in and out a little troublesome. Though since we only have one stamina trinket that might not be a problem.(see TKLoD reference above) In which case it's the best Christmas present Blizzard ever gave me. I really don't see myself ever hitting 15% expertise without reforging into it, so over-capping shouldn't really be a problem.
Trinket slot 2 going to switch between:
Soul Barrier (Stam/absorb-use)
IMO a very solid stam trinket. Though I do think the absorb could use a bit of a buff, I'm not too worried about it.
STot Shadopan Assult (Mastery/dodge use)
Once again a very solid trinket. It looks to be very promising for dealing with large numbers of adds that deal mostly melee damage. I like the use, even though it's avoidance, it looks to be a fairly decent "Oh Shit" button. My rough guesstimate (no actual calculations involved) has it giving me* somewhere in the ballpark close too 20% dodge chance for the first two seconds of it's use. This will of course depend on Rivers Song procs and how much avoidance I have passively. Right now, I don't have all that much. I imagine by the end of the tier though I may have a size-ably larger amount.
All of the other trinkets for this tier really don't look that good to me.
The "dps" trinkets are ok i guess if nothing else is available.
The Mastery/EHP trinket looks alright, not a big fan as a warrior though. It might be nice to bust before popping last stand. If memory serves correctly though based on the Cata DMC the system won't calculate it into Last Stand. Otherwise it's just going to be another button that gives me (roughly) 10% more EHP instead of 20 or 30.
The Dodge Trinket is just utter complete shit for any and all tanks who know how to play their class. Even the agility tanks (lol, plural, what is this world coming to!?!?) would rather puke on their own keybards than equip it if I'm not mistaken. It looks like a great addition to the game for anyone who lived through T14 leaning on TDR though...

I got http://www.wowhead.com/item=94518 today in lfr and i have to say when i got it to 2 stacks it had my mastery at 266% which is UBER nice but to get that trinket to proc i need to be dodging attacks. Last i heard DR on dodge sucked so how much dodge for a Blood DK should be not only optimal but not wasteful on stats. would a 12% dodge and a 18-20% parry be about ok or should i be shooting higher than that.
i tend to get the adds job... so yea i get 3 of 4 doors in Horridan, more than likely bats on tortos and more than likely itll be helpful on Aurmis.(9th boss) however since i use multiple pieces i wanted to know best dodge/parry http://www.wowhead.com/item=94527 and
http://www.wowhead.com/item=94527 as my main ones.
Ji'Kuns is pretty awful, the heal hardly ever triggers (it works like Ardent Defender did before Blizzard made it worth taking back before Trial of the Crusader) and the heal is hardly anything (really, 40k heal is like one HoT tick).
I'm finding it really hard to let go og Lao-chin's Liquid Courage and Jade Warlord figurine.

Just wondering if you guys thought that http://www.wowhead.com/item=94527 coupled with http://www.wowhead.com/spell=16491 would make it significantly more attractive to be using on a regular basis?
Lol, duly noted Fetzie. But if I am not mistaken, (which I usually am) wouldn't the combination of these 2 be like a pseudo-Pally AD during ToGC days? Like an insta death save with a brief self heal on top of this? Or am I way of base?Can't think of a scenario that would be better than disenchanting Rising Winds for the Haunting Spirit and crafting some boots if I am honest.
(I'm trying real hard to like this trinket more than I do, hence the post)

Western University Researchers Identify New Genetic Mutation for ALS
Strong's team is convinced ALS is a disorder of RNA metabolism. RNA is the intermediary or messenger between genes and the protein being made. This new protein appears to play a critical role. "Every time we look at a cell degenerating, this particular protein was deposited abnormally in the cell. It was a common denominator," explains Strong, who is also the Dean of Schulich Medicine & Dentistry. "Working with Dr. Rob Hegele at Robarts, we found there was a genetic mutation in the gene coding for this protein. So it's a huge discovery."

Are guest workers really welcome?
Many southern states in the USA require seasonal workers to survive. In Maryland, Mexican nationals are essential in the fishing industry during the peak summer period. But with American immigration policy clamping down on illegal workers, legal "guest workers" are finding themselves victims of an unadapted system.

*** Lesson Details ***

She believes in well rounded performers working often on dramatic intentions, overall professionalism, and stage presence.

*** Studio Equipment ***
Yamaha upright piano, Yamaha portable keyboard
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have a portable keyboard. I expect a semi private space to teach.
*** Specialties ***
Opera, Broadway, Choral Vocals
I received my Bachelor of Music Degree in Organ Performance from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in June of 2010, studying under Dr. Roberta Gary. I have completed all the coursework for the Master of Music Degree in Organ Performance. I will receive the degree in late 2014 or early 2015 after performing one more solo recital.
I began playing the piano at the age of 5, later moving to the organ at 9. I have held a church job since then, working in multiple different denominations and settings. I have a strong background of piano, accompanying, theory, sacred liturgy, and musical performance. I enjoy studying and listening to many genres of music as well as performing them. I am very interested in historically informed performance and understanding different techniques as they are related to the composition style of different time periods.
I enjoy working with students of all ages. Regardless of your ability, age, or experience, I will work with you. We can work out a plan for lesson times, intensity of practice and work, and tailor the lesson to the right pace for you.
*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons tend to be tailored to the needs of individual students. I am not as much a fan of a strict curriculum that I use on each student. For beginners, one can expect to be given method books to get them moving in the right direction. As one advances, we eventually move on to repertoire. I take an approach to lessons that emphasizes total body awareness and high level mental awareness. The most important thing anyone can learn in music is that it isn't just about the right notes; it isn't about the right rhythm. It is about the complete musicianship and the complete awareness needed to truly understand and perform a work of music. In order to make this approach work, my strictness as a teacher varies depending on the level of devotion the student is willing to put forth. After six months with me as a teacher, expect to notice changes in the way you see music and comprehend your technique at the keyboard.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect students to purchase their own music. For beginners with method books, I have these available to the students to purchase from me.
*** Specialties ***
I am very highly trained in performance practices of the Baroque era, especially on the organ. I am also very specialized in body movement and efficient keyboard technique. I also have a lot of experience in the Romantic repertoire of the piano. Lastly, I am also well trained as an accompanist on both the organ and the piano.
Currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Voice Performance at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. Obtained a Bachelors degree in the same field from the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music, and another Bachelors degree in ESL from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. Has performed a variety of roles in Puerto Rico, Cincinnati and Canada, including Count of Lerme in Don Carlo, Dr. Cajus in Falstaff and Mayor Upfold in Albert Herring. Possesses a vast choral experience from Puerto Rico and Cincinnati. Very eager to teach healthy vocal technique to passionate students, not only in operatic style, but popular music and musical theater as well. :)
*** Lesson Details ***
I will show a solid, healthy vocal technique with the use of breathing exercises, Alexander Technique to correct posture issues, improve aural skills and by communicating knowledge of what it takes to sing well.

"I know it's silly to give all 10's, obviously every trip has it's ups and downs, but if it hadn't been for our Kensington Tours planning, guides and drivers we would have been lost! It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

"We just returned last night from our Patagonia adventure and we had the time of our lives! Everything turned out perfectly. Guides were fun, on time and informative. The excursions were great for an active family and, of course, amazing. I thought after the glacier trek it can't get any better - but it kept surprising me and amazing me. My personal favorite was the horseback riding. I thought afterwards after everything we have seen the bike tour would have to be a let down - NOPE - it also was so exciting and our guide was a hoot! Meals were amazing and after so many active excursions no guilt in pigging out. I am so happy we took a little risk and went out of the way with our vacation this year. We will have this with us for a life time.

Our guide spoke excellent English, the driver was courteous and we felt safe and well-informed throughout the day. We're still going through the 500+ photos that I took and the 1700+ photos that my son took. Galapagos was a fabulous trip and the Eclipse was a terrific way to navigate the islands.

"Dear Sofia
I wanted to give you a little feedback on our recent trip to Peru.
In a word – EXCELLENT – especially the high quality people you work with in Peru. We have taken tours all over the world, S. Africa, France, England, Vietnam, China to name just a few, and the service we received in Peru was far beyond and of the other experiences we have had. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, picking us up at the airport, taking us back to the airport and complete, hassle free, handling of all our details truly made this a stress free experience.
Special thanks to:
-The entire reservation system and the people I came in contact with that process...every detail accounted for
-The people that looked after us in Lima
-Andre, the young man in Cusco who faithfully phoned every night just to make sure the day went well, my wife was well and that we knew what we had to do the next day.
-The Sumaq hotel in Aquas Calientes...you can tell the level of service by the details...I watched a waitress hold a high stool for a lady to prevent her from tipping backwards as she got on the stool, the lady didn't even know the waitress did it....that's client care.
-Especially Mariela, the tour guide in Cusco...highly knowledgeable, passionate, personable and shows great care for the people she guides.

This code was suggested in the other thread and I saw it on RH's mailing list:
chmod a+r /etc/pango/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules
I thought that was fixed by now, but those of you with messed boxes try it and let me know.

You know maybe installing the updated drivers from nvidia website would have helped. I mean, sometimes there are problems with the generic drivers.

Hmm. If we can pinpoint what's causing it and that it really is with synaptic, i'm sure the developers of that would be happy to know about it. I think we need some more info first before we submit it to them though.

I'm sorry I haven't posted earlier. Little hurricane ivan had me kinda powerless.
I think this problem may be a gnome problem not just a blag/fedora problem. While I was trying other distros I gave Suse a go. I did a complete update through YaST, when it was complete and I logged out and back in All of my text was so small I could barely even see it. If I remember correctly if I logged in as root eveything was fine.
To fix it I had to change something in the gnome config file. I will try to post when I find the info again.
Maybe this will help us find the problem :D

Hi guess what, I now am having the same problem. I just installed Blag 10000 on a pentium II 350mhz computer and after running system update all my text is gone. I have never run into this problem before but I guess there is a first for everything. I ran the smart disk upgrade option and near the end of installing the packages there was an error. I cannot remember the exact name of the package but I remember is started with vim-something rpm. Don't know if that helps any. I am going to reinstall and try smart disk upgrade again just to make sure it wasn't because I did something weird.

Ok, I just did a complete install and I now have the same problem. After running update in synaptic all my text dissapears. Also, the package that caused an error during upgrade was vim-minimal. Not sure if this is causing my text to dissapear or not.

Was there anything updated in the repository recently? The only reason I ask is because I ran system update in synaptic a week ago and I had no problems. So something must have been changed in the past week to make my system go all buggy.

For those of you that can reproduce this issue can you do a test for me? Try updating with apt-get instead of synatpic to see if somehow synaptic is mucking things up. I realize it's a bit of a pain to do this test, but it's really needed. :)
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get updates OK.
When I installed blag a few weeks ago I got it installed and then did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. No problems all was well.
A few days ago I installed Blag on a spare PC of mine I am not real familiar with synatpic (always used yum or apt) so I though what the heck. Clicked "update-System" and then "apply" All seem to do well but when I logged out and back in All my text was practicaly gone. The font was so small it was impossible to see.
I mentioned that I thought it was a gnome problems and not a Blag/Fedora/Redhat problem because I had the exact same thing happen when I updated a Suse box with YaST.
I have tried to find the fix that I found the first time but I have not been successful as of yet. It was something to do with a .gconf ot one of the .gnome files.
I'll post as soon as I find it again.

Well, like I said before I ran system update with synaptic a week ago and I had no problems but now I do. Anyways, I am now reinstalling to see what happens when I run apt get instead of synaptic for the update. I will write back in a bit to tell you what happens.

What kind of error is it giving?
You also have to be root or super user to run apt-get :D

Ok after reinstalling blag 10000 twice and having problems after running system upgrade in synaptic I now ran apt-get for my third try. Apt-get installed everything fine with no problems. I can still read all my text :) Also, I did not receive any error during install like I did before with the vim error I had. It is odd to think that it is a synaptic bug cause I used synaptic a week ago to upgrade and I had no problems. Was there a new release of synaptic added recently?

Title: H.G. Wells papers, 1845-1946
Primary Creator: Wells, H. G. (Herbert George) (1866-1946)
Extent: 207.0 Cubic Feet
Languages: English
Papers of Herbert G. Wells, English novelist and essayist. Includes correspondence about business and legal affairs; letters to the press; diaries, journals, drawings, publication records, manuscripts and proofs of published works; speeches; unpublished material; photographs. About forty full-length books, as well as many shorter pieces, are represented by typescripts or manuscripts, often in many drafts, which show the evolution of each work. Among these is an unpublished novel, Kipps and Waddy, an early version of Wells' copies of his printed works. These include first editions, revisions, translations. The letters contain general family correspondence, communications, from publishers, material regarding the Fabian Society, and letters from politicians and public figures, most notably George Bernard Shaw and Joseph Conrad. Among the remaining items is the diary of Wells' mother, begun before his birth, Wells' letters and stories written as a youngster, collections of clippings from newspapers and magazines, account books of his contracts and earning, and other business records.
A catalog of correspondence, arranged alphabetically by correspondent, from and to Wells is published in Volume 11 of the Catalog of the Rare Book Room, University Library, University of Illinois (G. K. Hall & Co., Boston, 1972, 547 pp.) and in a supplement 1978 edition. The main collection was acquired in two parts, labelled WELLS-1 and WELLS-2. WELLS-1 consists of over 2,500 letters from Wells and 65,000 to Wells. WELLS-2, a major collection added in 1990, supplements the extensive book collection from Wells' personal library, personal and business correspondence, and criticism. Wells-3 is the Kennard Collection which includes correspondence between H.G. Wells and Annajane Kennard and Amber Reeves. Wells-9 is a collection of supplementary items purchased separately, on an ongoing basis.

On March 9, 2011, a fire at a nursing home in North Charleston, SC, forced 170 residents out of their home. The local fire department investigated the blaze to find out what went wrong at White Oak Manor nursing home. What they discovered may be surprising to you: hot towels were to blame. According to a fire department spokeswoman, commercial dryers use a heat setting that's much higher than an ordinary, household dryer. The nursing home staff used an alcohol-based fabric softener with the towels. While the towels were still hot, they were placed inside a linen closet. The high heat of the dryer, when combined with the alcohol-based fabric softener, caused the towels to ignite, starting the fire.
Not the First Time It's Happened
Although spontaneously combusting towels may seem like an unlikely cause of a fire, it's not the first time it happened. In fact, a few months before the Charleston nursing home fire, the exact same thing happened at an education center in Roanoke, VA — hot towels that recently removed from a commercial dryer spontaneously combusted. No one was hurt, but the fire caused $21,000 in damages.
Meanwhile, in the summer of 2010, two Spokane house fires that started within hours of each other both began when someone microwaved bath towels.
Fire Safety Tips
Fans of the old sitcom Seinfeld might remember the episode where the character Kramer decided to use his oven to get that "dryer-fresh" feeling for his clothes, and subsequently caught his apartment on fire. Although the episode was laughable, fires at schools, nursing homes, and houses really are not funny.
When a towel comes out of a commercial dryer or a microwave, be aware that it will retain high levels of heat. Allow towels to cool before placing them on a wooden surface or putting them in an enclosed area, such as a linen closet, where heat cannot dissipate. In particular, check the ingredients to the fabric softener you use for linens, and if it's alcohol-based, you may wish to change brands. This is especially important when using a commercial-strength dryer.
Finally, even though Kramer seemed to have something going, have the common sense not to place towels in ovens or microwaves.

2. Shade on the sky, under the dress, feet and ribbon with Uniform Blue. The stars and dots on the sky are done with White Wash.
3. Shade on the feet along the dress with Shading Flesh. When dry, shade on the right side of the left foot. Shade the hand along the sleeve, on the neck along the dress and under her chin. Also shade the face along the bangs. Using Flesh Tone, highlight along the bottom of the feet, the bottom of the hands and the bottom of the face. The eyelids are applied with Flesh Tone, using a Flat Brush. The nose is applied with a Liner using Flesh Tone. Using the drybrush technique and the Round Fabric Brush, apply the cheeks using Gooseberry Pink. The center of the mouth is Lamp (Ebony) Black and the lips are also Gooseberry Pink. The eyelashes and eyebrows are Burnt Sienna.
4. Shade on the wings along the angel with Desert Sand. The dots and stars on her wings are White Wash.
5. Refer to pattern for where to shade dress, apron and ribbon. Shade the dress with Russet. Highlight the dress with Gooseberry Pink. The stars in the shaded areas are Mississippi Mud and the stars in the lighter area are Desert Sand. You may want to do some brush mixing to get a medium value. Shade the dress with Mississippi Mud. You may want to reinforce some of the shading with Dark Chocolate. Highlight the dress with Buttermilk. The stripes are Uniform Blue and the stitches are Red Iron Oxide.
6. Read this before you begin the lining on the ruffles. It is easier to highlight the lining of the ruffle first. Highlight the linings of the ruffles with a double load of French Grey/Blue and White Wash. The lining of the ruffles is shaded with Uniform Blue and some of the shading is reinforced with Midnite Blue. The dots are White Wash.
7. Shade the ribbon with Dark Chocolate and highlight with Buttermilk. Paint the stars first in Buttermilk and the lettering is Russet. Line the ribbon with Dazzling Metallics Royal Ruby.
8. The strokes that outline the right edge of the harp are Dark Chocolate. With Burnt Sienna, shade along the left and right of the ball on the scrollwork on the top of the harp. Highlight with Moon Yellow on the ends of the scrollwork and also on the left side of the ball. With Midnite Blue, shade on the harp along the scrollwork. The stars are Buttermilk. The stripes on the bottom of the harp are Red Iron Oxide. With Mississippi Mud, shade on the harp along the blue. Taking a small Flat Brush, shade the red stripes with Russet. With Lamp (Ebony) Black, shade the left side of the hole. The strings are painted by dipping a Liner Brush in Lamp (Ebony) Black and tipping it in White Wash.
9. With a Flat Brush and Burnt Sienna, float in the direction of the hair. Now, float in some Moon Yellow, keeping it lighter at the bottom of the hair and bangs. With a Liner, add individual strands using Moon Yellow and Burnt Sienna. The halo is Moon Yellow. The notes are Lamp (Ebony) Black.

Book Description
A staggering 42 million Americans face the challenges of caring for a loved one while working. Although caregiving can be a richly rewarding experience, the role comes with enormous responsibilities—and pressures. AARP's gentle guide provides practical resources and tips that are easy to find when you need them, whether you're caregiving day to day, planning for future needs or in the middle of a crisis. And equally important, this book helps you care for the caregiver—you. Author Amy Goyer, an expert in aging and families, provides insight, inspiration and her own poignant story as a live-in caregiver to her parents.
AMY GOYER, AARP Home & Family expert: Amy provides expertise on a variety of family issues - from grand-parenting to family caregiving, parenting and other family relationships, and multigenerational living. Follow her on Twitter @amygoyer.
