Big Cats Pictures, Facts, More
Unedited Transcript
Scientists have discovered a few big cats in captivity have an 'obsession' for a well-known men's cologne.
A study conducted at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo indicated that among a number of perfumes and colognes tested, Calvin Klein's "Obsession for Men" was the top choice of interest to the two cheetahs at the zoo.
Other fragrances were tested with some other big cats at the zoo.
SOUNDBITE: Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo: "Some would encourage this really powerful cheek rubbing behavior where these big cats would literally wrap their paws around a tree and just vigorously rub up and down. Sometimes they would start drooling , their eyes would half close, it was almost like they were going into a trance. And they would spend minutes rubbing up and down an object that we would sprayed with certain perfumes or colognes. We knew that cats would respond to various perfumes and colognes because it's sort of 'in zoo lore.' We've know about that for years."
Smell is an important sense for all cat species, and investigating scents is common, especially those in an artificial setting which lacks the variety of new and old scents found in a natural environment.
SOUNDBITE: Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo: "Big cats engage in cheek rubbing behavior to either deposit scent, or pick up scents from other cats, there's very likely a territorial component to that, enabling them to mark territories, and there's some evidence that they're also picking up reproductive cues from members of the opposite sex."
WCS researchers conducted testing at zoos with tigers, and later with cheetahs.
Man-made and natural scents are used as 'olfactory enrichment' tools at the zoo. The scents are sprayed inside animals' enclosures to keep the animals active and engaged, both for their mental and physical well-being and for the viewing public's benefit.
SOUNDBITE: Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo: "But it can also be used to aid in field research. You can apply scents to camera traps, to induce the target animals you're looking to photograph close to cameras, so you can get an idea of the species that are in the habitat you're studying."
In the wild, WCS says its researchers deployed Obsession for Men and other fragrances at camera traps in Guatamala. They say it has enabled them to get more precise estimates of jaguar populations in one of the most important jaguar refuges in the Americas: the Maya Biosphere Reserve.
SOUNDBITE: Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo: "Perfume companies closely guard their ingredients and formulas. So, we don't know really what's in a given perfume."
The knowledge about wild animals' interest in scent has also been used in setting up 'hair traps' where scientists can collect hair follicles from some species of wild cats for DNA research. When the animals rub tree bark, for example, they leave behind hair, which scientists can use to extract DNA from the hair follicles to identify diversity in the animal's population.
Loss of habitat due to human agriculture and development and illegal killings has caused several wild cat species to become endangered. Thomas is mindful that some people could mis-use this knowledge about scents, but he pointed out that "Obsession for Men" was NOT the best performing fragrance in the field, and declined to reveal which perfumes or colognes were the best lures for all cats in the wild.
In fact, a similar experiment conducted in the wild found that big cats did not express much interest in the scents offered.

We (Tom and Sue) purchased this property in Whitefish in 1991. Before buying our land here we traveled throughout the Rocky Mountains looking for the 'perfect place': great outdoor activities, close to 'wild' areas and National Parks, exceptional natural beauty, abundant wildlife, friendly community with conveniences close by, and easy access from an airport. We think that this is truly one of the 'last best places', and we feel very privilged to own and be stewards of this little piece of paradise. We have lived on Beaver Creek Ranch since 1994, and we completed building our second home on the ranch in 2011. We are very pleased with how it turned out, and look forward to sharing it with friends and guests. We are amazed each day at the natural beauty of our 'back yard', and thoroughly enjoy viewing the wildlife that frequents the area. Each of our past guests, whether family, friends or VRBO guests, have commented that this is one of the most relaxing and memorable vacations they have ever experienced. We take great pleasure in sharing our home and the experiences it offers with others who love the outdoors, and enjoy the peace, quiet and tranquility that Beaver Creek Ranch provides.
Tom is a semi-retired real estate broker and was a director with one of the world's premier five-star hospitality companies. We strive to exceed all of our guest expectations and provide a truly exceptional vacation experience. We spend our free time hiking, biking, golfing, floating on rivers, and riding our horses in the mountains. We would be happy to share our local knowledge with you to insure your vacation is memorable.
Tom and Sue (owners) purchased this house in 2011
Being on Beaver Creek Ranch you feel as if you are a world apart, yet, you are just a few short minutes to the town of Whitefish, and easy acess (20 minutes) to Kalispell airport. We can drive to Whitefish or Costco center with virtually no traffic or stop signs, but you are private and quiet when you get home. The private valley we sit in is unlike anything else in the area. When people who have lived in Flathead Valley for years first come here they always comment that they had no idea there was a place like this so close to town. It is truly unique, and irreplaceable.
We enjoy having our first cup of coffee in the morning sitting on the patio or by the Great Room windows and watching the sun rise on the high rock cliffs across the meadow and just sit and listen to the quiet. We try to take walks every day, as we enjoy the miles of trails we have right from our back door. As much as we enjoy all of the activites to be found in Whitefish and Glacier Park, we particularly enjoy coming home to Beaver Creek Ranch, as it is a world apart, spectacular in it's beauty, and exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
Adjacent to thousands of acres of State Forest with miles of trails for hiking and mountain bike riding. Walk right out your back door.

4 Tech Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Nearest Resistance: $23
Nearest Support: $22.50
Catalyst: Technical Setup, VC Portfolio >>3 Tech Stocks Hedge Funds Are Buying Intel (INTC - Get Report) is another perennial high-volume stock worth mentioning today. A solid technical setup coupled with an update to the firm's venture capital portfolio is putting more eyes on this semiconductor giant this week. The firm held a summit for its private venture capital arm this week, releasing the names of 10 technology companies in its portfolio. While Intel Capital is a small chunk of the chipmaker's business, it has seen successful exits from some high profile investments, so investors pay attention to the VC unit's deals. The technical setup in Intel is also worth looking at right now. Shares of the $114 billion stock have slid around 6% so far in 2012, dragged lower by a semiconductor industry that's still in convalescence mode. But shares have been basing for the past two weeks, bringing up the possibility that a reversal could be in order. With INTC in a tight range right now, I'd recommend being a buyer if shares can push through $23.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Excerpts from a tribute to Rukmini Devi Arundale by former President of India, R. Venkataraman
Ninety years ago, a star appeared on the Indian firmament who revolutionised the cultural and social life of our country. Like her date of birth. February 29, Rukmini Devi [1904-86] was uncommon. She became a legendary figure in her lifetime. She was regarded as the patron saint of Indian arts and culture and a creative artist who introduced modernity without sacrificing tradition and synthesised both. Hers was a life of multi-faceted achievements and multi-splendoured glory. A dedicated being, a true and fine artist, a great educationist, and above all a loving humanist, Rukmini Devi was more than a great personality: she was a phenomenon. There was in her an inner strength and a still centre from which radiated several streams of inspiration and several useful activities. Some of us of her generation remember Rukmini Devi as a person of extraordinary grace, extraordinary talent and extraordinary courage. We saw her life taking shape like an exquisite tapestry, strand by strand, section by section.
Rukmini Devi's career was indeed a rare tapestry, made of many colours, holding many designs. Each different segment was self-contained in itself and arrested one's attention. Some of the hues and motifs on this tapestry were drawn from the time tested reservoirs of our heritage: some were altogether new. Originality could be seen on the canvas, as well as conformity; modernity as well as tradition. But in its totality, the tapestry united into a composite picture: a picture of rare balance and beauty. Each state of Rukmini Devi's career seemed to proceed from the previous and merge into the next with the grace and inevitability of pre-destination. There was an internal consistency in her career which could be the envy of yogis.
Rukmini Devi's was a free and enquiring mind, unafraid to reject a custom if she found it abhorrent to human dignity and equally unafraid to uphold it, if she found it congruent with human dignity. For her, what mattered was not orthodoxy or heterodoxy, but right or wrong. And Rukmini Devi had the courage of conviction and the strength of conscience to discern right from wrong. Consequently, she became one of the most emancipated women of modern times. Emancipated, not in the lesser and permissive sense in which the word is often used, but in the best and highest sense of that word.
Rukmini Devi saw life as something that can either be lived crudely, violently, devoid of any higher impulse or something that can be lived beautifully, creatively and in harmony with nature and its Divine Maker. Rukmini Devi was one of those few persons born at the beginning of this century whom destiny used as its instrument for progress. It was given to Rukmini Devi to bring music, literature and dance out of the tawdry half-lights of decay and decadence into the fresh air and sunshine of the theatre arts. In doing this, Rukmini Devi was doubtless the instrument of destiny and her founding of Kalakshetra at the age of 32 marked the turning point. It brought to fruition all her inspirations, eastern and western. The influences of Anna Pavlova and Meenakshisundaram Pillai mingled to produce a new approach to dance as did those of Madame Montessori and Mahatma Gandhi, to produce a new approach to education.
Keywords: Rukmini Devi Arundale, Bharatanatyam, Kalakshetra

Reduced Mortality Associated With the Use of ACE Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE—ACE inhibitor therapy is widely used in lower-risk patients with type 2 diabetes to reduce mortality, despite limited evidence to support this clinical strategy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ACE inhibitor use and mortality in patients with diabetes and no cardiovascular disease.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND SETTINGS—Using the Saskatchewan health databases, 12,272 new users of oral hypoglycemic agents were identified between the years of 1991 and 1996. We excluded 3,202 subjects with previous cardiovascular disease. Of the remaining subjects, 1,187 "new users" of ACE inhibitors were identified (ACE inhibitor cohort). Subjects not receiving ACE inhibitor therapy throughout the follow-up period served as the control cohort (n = 4,989). Subjects were prospectively followed until death or the end of 1999. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess differences in all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality between cohort groups.
RESULTS—Subjects were 60.7 ± 13.7 years old, 43.6% female, and were followed for an average of 5.3 ± 2.1 years. Mean duration of ACE inhibitor therapy was 3.6 ± 1.8 years. We observed significantly fewer deaths in the ACE inhibitor group (102 [8.6%]) compared with the control cohort (853 [17.1%]), with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI of 0.49 (0.40–0.61) (P < 0.001). Cardiovascular-related mortality was also reduced (40 [3.4%] vs. 261 [5.2%], adjusted HR, 0.63 [0.44–0.90]; P = 0.012).
CONCLUSIONS—The use of ACE inhibitors was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality in a broad spectrum of patients with type 2 diabetes and no cardiovascular disease.

First Day of School is August 3rd, Board Votes For Early School Start
It is going to be back to school early the next two years for Mesa County School District 51 students. The school board made the decision Tuesday night.
It is going to be back to school early the next two years for Mesa County School District 51 students. The school board made the decision Tuesday night.
Here's the video that has taken the internet by storm. The brake lights on a school bus in Tennessee look like a satanic symbol, and a mother is outraged.
A gunman opened fire at a Seattle-area high school Friday morning, injuring multiple students before killing himself.
With the 2014-15 school year under way in Mesa County, many students have benefited from this summer's Stuff the Bus campaign spearheaded by Townsquare Media Grand Junction.
Back to school brings back some great memories of our school years - including that memorable first year. Most of us have particular memories from kindergarten - including some tall tales we were told - that we still might believe.
Another Stuff the Bus Campaign wrapped up Thursday as the First Student Bus at Mesa Mall was emptied of donated school supplies.
As the Kool 107.9 "Stuff the Bus" campaign enters its final week, we are reporting good results from our recent live remote broadcast to collect school supplies for kids in need in Mesa County School District 51.
When a high school senior in Fayetteville, North Carolina decided to strip down to his underwear during graduation, the school decided to do some stripping of their own. So, they stripped him of his diploma.
The senior class at Santa Barbara High School wanted to make sure they ended the year on a high note by playing a fun prank on principal John Becchio.
Being a teacher may be a thankless job, but being a substitute may be even worse.

The World of SEO From The Professional Standpoint Trumps DIY Every Single Time
Look online for terms related to the world of DIY and you're going to get hit with a lot of different ideas and answers in regards to how to build a site within this world. There's nothing wrong with saving money and doing things on your own, but there are certain things that you just wouldn't and shouldn't do. For instance, you will find that some people will advocate that you do your construction work, and that's not good if you're not keen on building things. If you lack the expertise to work on construction, then perhaps you should leave it to the professionals. The same can be said about technology, and even though there are a lot of different elements that you can work on alone, it's best to have a professional handle it.
Some people will argue that there are a million tutorials online that can teach you how to work within search engine optimization and other arenas, and that's true. You could spend a lot of time, or even money learning how to build a blogging empire, or a site that will pay you dividends for traffic, as well as a variety of other things that you can work on to help you gain leverage within certain framework, but that's not enough. If you focus on these things and you just end up working on elements that aren't going to end up going forward within the framework that you need to work in, you're spinning your wheels without going anywhere.
The SEO world is best left to the professionals as there are individual elements that you will not be able to trump, no matter how hard you to try and work on things. The main issue will be manifest up front in terms of expertise. If you do not have the expertise to handle a large campaign of marketing collateral, you are missing out on something important, and it's going to definitely be within your best interest to move away from the optimization world.
The DIY Problem With Time
Let's take the notion of DIY to task in regards to time management. If you are an amateur when it comes to marketing and technology, you will need to either spend a lot of time learning how to build the right collateral, or you're going to have to implement things on the fly based on what you can find online. The problem here is the time that you have or rather, the time that you don't have. If you already are working a full time job, when would you find time to implement the right components of collateral in regards to internet marketing?
Assuming that you had a lot of time on your hands, you would have to manifest a set of time that is akin to 40 hours a week, and perhaps several different people working on the same project to see a push forward. This is not a simple solution and could end up causing you to end up losing overall. In fact, many people end up dealing with a time crunch and cannot match what professionals are doing, just because of that.
The Issue of Expertise
If you were to work on SEO without the help of anyone else, you would have to match what the experts are doing right now. They are working on managing content, building links, and positioning a lot of collaborative work to build market share through a variety of different tools that you will not be able to build. Not only that, they have a network of sites that could help you with link generation, and perhaps give you a nice jump in terms of market success, if you take it in the right area. The problem with this is that you can't really trump expertise when you're alone, if you're battling a competitor that has a team of experts on their side. It's the sole reason why you can't really battle giants like amazon.com, on your own, as you will have to trump the expertise and professional nature of their infrastructure, alone.
The Long Haul
SEO and marketing is not something that you just turn on and run with. You will have to work within the elements of several steps and hope that each individual element that you're working on is paying off through the long term. You will have to work on things on your own for a long period of time, and your work could end up causing you to get penalized. Search engine change their algorithm so much that you could end up losing market share as a result of your implementation, and that's not a good thing. Focusing on the world of marketing that is going to give you a leg up on the world of traffic is something that is good, but don't assume that it's going to happen overnight, as it is not going to happen at all.
All in all, the aforementioned should shine light on the fact that you should be hiring a professional to build your marketing collateral. With an expert's touch, you can ensure that you are seeing traffic generated and sales created as a result of your overall push forward.

Just getting back into the variegate hobby. Just got seed from this oddball I found a few months ago. Hopefully it will be stable.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Randy, that is one beautiful, variegated Cyclamen.
How long does it take for seeds to germinate? Do seeds need bottom-heat and sun?
Good luck. Please post as seeds grow. Toni
Shucks I don't know. I found it wading through Lowes. I've got the seeds collected from the variegated section in a mini greenhouse right now. Randy

Improving your home's energy efficiency with ENERGY STAR can help to lower high energy bills, improve comfort and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Learn about the many ways to save in your home and track your progress with "My ENERGY STAR" - your new dashboard to savings.
A new home that has earned the ENERGY STAR label has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the US EPA. ENERGY STAR certified homes use 15-30% less energy than typical new homes while delivering better comfort, quality, and durability.
When you benchmark your building in Portfolio Manager, one of the key metrics you'll see is energy use intensity, or EUI. Essentially, the EUI expresses a building's energy use as a function of its size or other characteristics.
For most property types in Portfolio Manager, the EUI is expressed as energy per square foot per year. It's calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kBtu or GJ) by the total gross floor area of the building.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines green power as electricity generated from renewable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, low-impact biomass, and low-impact hydro resources. Whereas energy efficiency measures may be implemented to reduce the overall energy use in your building, the purchase of green power helps to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the generation of electricity for use in your building. This document describes the specific requirements for benchmarking green power in Portfolio Manager.
The energy used in commercial buildings accounts for roughly one quarter of worldwide emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHG) linked to global climate change, making buildings an important part of your GHG inventory. In order to help you assess the emissions footprint associated with your energy consumption, Portfolio Manager incorporates a number of metrics to quantify these emissions and provide you with an understanding of how they are generated.
Commercial buildings all use different mixes of energy including electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, district steam, and many others. In order to evaluate energy performance for these buildings, we have to express all of these different energy types in a single common unit. Source energy is the most equitable unit of evaluation, and enables a complete assessment of energy efficiency.
For consistency and comparability, all energy performance metrics in Portfolio Manager reports are expressed in either thousand British thermal units (kBtu) or billion joules (GJ) and are annualized to 12 calendar months. However, in most cases your energy bills are not presented in these units and are not tied to calendar months. Therefore, a series of procedures is applied to make these conversions.
Portfolio Manager offers three main meter types, based on the most common ways buildings receive energy:
The climate of the area where your property is located and the annual fluctuations you experience in weather conditions can affect how much energy you need to operate your buildings. Portfolio Manager includes metrics designed to incorporate these effects and help you understand your energy performance. These procedures rely on temperature data collected by weather monitoring stations and published by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
EPA's 1 - 100 ENERGY STAR score is an external benchmark for assessing the performance of commercial buildings. The ENERGY STAR score, expressed as a number on a simple 1 - 100 scale, rates performance on a percentile basis: buildings with a score of 50 perform better than 50% of their peers; buildings earning a score of 75 or higher are in the top quartile of energy performance.
Did you know that there are more than 1,000 pieces of data that you can pull out of Portfolio Manager, including more than 150 performance metrics? See a complete list of all your options--from property address to greenhouse gas emissions to use of district chilled water.
Follow the steps in this two-page guide to get started using the new Portfolio Manager to benchmark your properties, assess performance, and view results.

Stayed here with my boyfriend for 3 nights in sept when we arrived in Marrakesh.We have been to the country a few times before so we know what to expect. Having stayed in cheap riads within walking distance from the square, we decided to stay somewhere quieter. At only 25 Euros a night, for a air con room with en suite and flat screen TV 5 minutes walk from the square is amazing value! we were greeted by the management with mint tea and biscuits, and were able to chill out in the lounge while our room was getting ready. The room was IMMACULATE. I'm such a fuss poss, but the bed, the linen the bathroom were all fantastic. Having a door bell system where only the management let guests enter along with a safe in the room was a big plus for anyone who worry's about the safety of their belongings. Breakfast was great too! it was so good that we booked to stay here on the last night of our trip before flying out in the morning as it was cheap enough from the square to the airport.
Defiantly will return.

Not surprisingly, one of the most interesting things I saw in Tokyo was an old pair of jeans from Levi's at Pueblo. I've seen similar jeans like this before, but not specifically anything co-labeled like these 501s were. Judging from the detailing seen here, these jeans were made specifically for Brooks Brothers anywhere from 1937 to 1942. Pueblo's owner and resident vintage hunter, Eiji Asakawa told me that before he found these specific jeans he has never seen another pair like them. I'm not a Levi's vintage expert (though, full disclosure, we do work with Levi's on several projects) I too have never seen or heard of jeans like these, which is pretty amazing thing to happen in San Francisco or Tokyo.
Levi's x Brooks Brothers c.1937
Shopping Nashville | Imogene + Willie
Natives of Kentucky, Matt & Carrie Eddmenson (nee Sights) both have denim in their blood. Between the two of them, they have worked with many (if not all) of the big names in the business. It's a competitive world, the denim business, and one that Matt and Carrie have been able to navigate well. The husband and wife team have been more successful then they would probably be willing to acknowledge or admit — they're humble people like that. A few short years ago the duo channeled all of their know-how and passion into Imogene + Willie — a denim brand and retail store all in one.
It took me a long time to get down to Nashville, but I finally did this past week. Accordingly, I made sure to stop by and chat with Carrie and Matt and the rest of the gang over Saturday morning coffee. Like most places in Tennessee, I was made to feel right at home and I quickly learned that there's a big story at Imogene + Willie, a tale that is told better through this video than anything I can put together here.
Tales of a Deadstock Union Special 43200G
The denim loving guys at Self Edge sent out an email this morning about their recently acquired almost-new Union Special 43200G chainstich machine. The lore of these Union Specials and their coveted status among denim-nerds is the stuff of legend — which makes the below story even more remarkable. No word as to how much coin the Self Edge guys paid for this thing (or where it came from, which is a better question), but I'm guessing it's somewhere between a Submariner and a Royal Oak.
More on Self Edge's new/old Union Special 43200G from the company's blog:
If there is one machine in the current world of vintage style jeans that has the mystique of a fairly tale it's the Union Special 43200G chainstitching machine. This is the machine the Japanese first scoured the world for starting in the 1980′s, they wanted them to place in their factories which reproduced vintage styles of American jeans from the 1950′s and before. It was a good twenty years until the rest of the world realized what was happening in Japan, by that time most of the 43200G machines had been bought up by the Japanese factories, brands, and retailers to put in their stores for in-store hemming.
Tellason for ACL & Co.
As far as special products go, it was a natural for me to collaborate with Tellason on a special pair of jeans for the ACL Shop. We share similar perspectives when it comes to denim and more importantly we both possess a commitment to American manufacturing, especially when it comes to jeans.
I first met Tony Patella and Pete Searson, the founders of the brand, two years ago through a mutual friend. Tony and Pete have worked in the business for some time, but were just getting started with Tellason when our paths crossed. I was impressed with what they were doing with Tellason. It was around that same time that I interviewed Tony to help introduce Tellason to the ACL faithful.
Levi's Vintage Clothing Tokyo
Tucked away in an alley in Tokyo's Aoyama neighborhood (a very fashionable part of town I might add) is the newish Levi's Vintage Clothing store — one of the few places in the world that you can get all eight archival variations of the Levi's 501 and a huge selection of the other normally reclusive LVC goods. This Levi's Vintage Clothing store in Tokyo closely resembles the Cinch store I checked out in London this past spring, though the store in Japan is much much bigger. It has been a little more than a year since Maurizio Donadi was brought in to help reorganize the Levi's premium business and these new LVC retail outposts are a clear reflection of Maurizio's vision. Before Donadi was in the picture, LVC was sort of stuck in limbo between the Levi's labyrinth of different offerings and retail stores. These days the collection is much more accessible (in terms of consumers being able to find the product), but the goods still carry a significant price tag. Though, I should say it is an understandable price structure given all that goes into the development and production (made in USA, etc) of the product.
Men's Journal Guide to Jeans
The gents at Men's Journal tapped me to write a nice, big, front-of-book denim package for their September issue. If there is anything I love to write about it is denim, and this story was a lot of fun. May I suggest you go analog and pick up a copy, it's on newsstands now.
Launching today — for all you denim loving patriots — at the Levi Strauss & Co. flagship store in San Francisco (Union Square) is the Levi's Tailor Shop, a one-of-a-kind customization area with special goods and services. The LS&CO folks have outfitted the Tailor Shop with a chain stitch machine, an embroidery machine and a darning machine (for repairs or maybe just to get the repaired look). At the tailor shop you can also make your own buttons, choose vintage patches, screen print to fully customize your jeans.

Comments about Reebok 10 lb. Adjustable Ankle Weight:
Reebok used to make a similar set (they looked exactly like this pair), which i wore religiously for years for power walking, but they eventually wore out. needing to replace them, i thought i was buying the same ones, not noticing the difference. the old pair was a form fitting soft pack, so there was no irritation. each pouch was filled with a sand-like substance, providing you with the weight. the new model - filled with weight sticks, hit your ankle bones each time you walk. after trying them the past three days, my ankles are sensitive to the weight and they're unbearable to wear. also, the velcro strap wraps around your ankle, feeding through a clip. if you do not pull it extremely tight, or if your ankles are larger than mine (a guy, perhaps), the clip is exposed, also hitting your ankle/shin, depending on how you have them sitting on your ankles. they're also MUCH bulkier than the first model. needless to say, i've got to send them back. wish Reebok would reproduce the original model.

Can't say that I have been dude. Tried checking it out lately when back playing the game to get back with you, but couldn't find location right. . Sorry, but cant think it would be anything important than random loot perhaps.

Awesome . Only missing a few of them and takes care of that. Not required, but would definitely like to have the list complete . You definitely must upgrade the house or no?

Is there any way to track the number of persuasion attempts you've succeeded on? I know there are counters for most of the other tasks, like dispelling and pickpocketing, but I didn't see one for successful persuasion.
Also, I forgot to set the difficulty to hard for the first playthrough. I have far too much time invested in that game now, so I'm going to complete all trophies except the difficult related trophy on this playthrough. If I only play the story missions and avoid all side missions, will I be leveled up enough to beat the game on hard? or I am going to have to play through a lot of the side missions again?
06-19-2012 #19
I'm in the same boat as you I've got to replay the whole game on hard. I'm planing on just levelling up enough to max one skill so I can fateweave when i need to transfer all my points. I only did one faction quest on normal and that was enough to stop me getting the hard trophy.
The persuasion trophy is a real nuisance as there are are only about 70-80 attempts avaiable 25 between the main and faction quests and the rest in sidequest with no way of tracking how many you done. I believe I got it on the 2nd last avaiable attempt.
06-19-2012 #20
I went to a fate weaver about 30 hours in and put persuasion up to the max because I kept failing. I've succeeded on most of them since then. here's hoping I switched the points soon enough in the game. I really don't want to have to play all of the side quests again for one silly bronze trophy just to unlock the platinum.

Comment: Just y'know... reconnect them spinal nerves (Score 4, Insightful) 209
Just reconnect the spinal nerves? This is like saying interstellar spaceships are just two years away. Just connect the warp drive to the antimatter, and there you go.
Perhaps we should start by inventing a warp drive first? Or in this case, connecting severed spinal columns?
