Yemen: Migrants Held at 'Torture Camps'
Hold Traffickers, Officials Accountable for Role in Abuses
May 25, 2014, Sanaa(HRW) –Traffickers in Yemen hold African migrants in detention camps, torturing them to extort payment from their families, with the complicity of local officials, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Sometimes the torture ends in death. The Yemeni government should vigorously investigate and prosecute human traffickers and members of the security forces involved in the abuses.
The 82-page report, "'Yemen's Torture Camps': Abuse of Migrants by Human Traffickers in a Climate of Impunity,"documents harms suffered by migrants, most from the Horn of Africa, who try to travel through Yemen on their way to Saudi Arabia for work. Human Rights Watch found that various Yemeni security agencies in the border town of Haradh, where dozens of camps exist, and at checkpoints, allow the human trafficking industry to flourish with little government interference.

Ethiopia: Worrisome Situations in Detention Centres
HRLHA – Urgent Action
May 24, 2014
For Immediate Release
While kidnappings and/or extra-judicial arrests and detentions have continued particularly around academic institutions in different parts of the regional state of Oromia in Ethiopia, disturbing and worrisome reports are coming out of detention centres where the Oromo students arrested in the past two weeks are being held.

13 May 2014
Amnesty International condemns the use of excessive force by security forces against peaceful protesters in a number of locations across the Oromia region during the last two weeks, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of people including students and children. Many hundreds of protesters are reported to have been arbitrarily arrested, and are being detained incommunicado and without charge. Detainees are at risk of torture.
The Ethiopian government must immediately instruct the security forces to cease using deadly force against peaceful protesters, and to release any person who has been arrested solely because of their involvement in peaceful protests. These incidents must be urgently and properly investigated, and suspected perpetrators should be prosecuted in effective trial proceedings. Read more…
Ethiopia: Ambo under Siege, Daily Activities Paralyzed

13 May, 2014.
The brutal attempts of crackdown against Oromo protesters by the Agazi Special Squad continuing unabated in different parts of the regional state of Oromia, reports coming from Ambo in central Oromia indicate that the town and its surrounding has come under virtual seizure by the Agazi Federal Armed Force, daily movements and activities becoming almost impossible.
According to information obtained by HRLHA (this morning) form its correspondents, the Agazi Special Squad has been deployed in Ambo Town and its surrounding in much larger number than before and engaged in indiscriminately kidnapping the local people from along the streets and throwing them into detention centres in the area. There are also reports of widespread rapes being committed against female detainees. Read more…

Ethiopia: Brutal Crackdown on Protests
Security Forces Fire On, Beat Students Protesting Plan to Expand Capital Boundaries
May 5, 2014, Nairobi (HRW) – Ethiopian security forces should cease using excessive force against students peacefully protesting plans to extend the boundaries of the capital, Addis Ababa. The authorities should immediately release students and others arbitrarily arrested during the protests and investigate and hold accountable security officials who are responsible for abuses.

Ethiopia: UN Review Should Condemn Media Crackdown
Activists, Journalists Persecuted Under Draconian Laws
May 5, 2014, Geneva(HR) – United Nations member countries should call on Ethiopia to stop targeting activists and the media under draconian laws. The UN Human Rights Council will review Ethiopia's human rights record under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) procedure on May 6, 2014.
A Human Rights Watch submission to the UN on Ethiopia highlights its ongoing suppression of the media and nongovernmental organizations, and the lack of accountability for torture and other serious abuses by its security forces. The arbitrary arrest of nine bloggers and journalists on April 25 and 26, just 10 days before the review, reflects Ethiopia's blatant disregard for fundamental rights and should be strongly condemned by UN members.

ETHIOPIA: Region-Wide, Heavy-Handed Crackdown on Peaceful Protesters
HRLHA Urgent Action
May 1, 2014
The human rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) would like to express its deepest concern over the widespread brutalities of the Ethiopian Government in handling protests in different parts of the regional state of Oromia by peaceful demonstrators. In a heavy-handed crackdown being carried out by the federal armed squad called Agazi, which is infamously known for its cruelty against innocent civilians particularly during such public protests, 16 (sixteen) Oromo students have so far been shot dead in the town of Ambo alone and scores of others have been wounded, according to HRLHA correspondents in the area. The victims of the brutal attacks were not only from Federal Police brutality in Ambo town among those who were out protesting in the streets, but also among those who stayed behind on university campuses. Hundreds of others have also been arrested, loaded on police trucks, and taken to unknown destinations. Read more…

If you've invited me into your closet then you know I'm a big fan of the layered necklace look. For me it's the icing on the cake for practically any outfit. Ok, now imagine the picture/outfit above without this necklace, kinda ho-hum, right?1?! My clients often tell me that they just don't know how to do the layered look. I have the perfect solution and it's only $16. Can you believe?!?!?!
This BP. necklace from Nordstrom takes the guess work out of the layered necklace look. The best part to me is that it doesn't look like a ready made layered necklace. Did I mention it was $16?!?!?
I thought it would be fun to post this on Friday for your weekend shopping pleasure! The blouse is James Perse from Nordstrom.
Taking my t-shirt and jeans up a notch with this necklace. One of my very close friends said to me the other day, is it ok if I copy you? The answer to this is, an emphatic YES! That's what this blog is all about. It truly makes me happy to share my finds and I hope that you like them enough to copy them otherwise C. Style wouldn't exist!

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei's campaign this afternoon accepted a debate challenge that Republican John Katko made earlier in the day, but the specifics for the televised debates still need to be negotiated.
Kane Miller, Maffei's campaign manager, said the congressman would like to participate in a series of moderated, televised debates.
Katko, a former federal prosecutor from Camillus, suggested earlier today that those debates should begin in June and continue up until November and Election Day. But Maffei's campaign made no commitment regarding dates for the debates.
"He looks forward to highlighting his focus on growing the economy and strengthening the middle class in fair debates like the ones he participated in during the 2012 campaign that aired on every broadcast station in Central New York," Miller said in a statement.
In 2012, Maffei and former Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-Onondaga Hill, agreed to two debates -- one aired on WSYR-TV (Channel 9) and one on WCNY-TV (Channel 24). The WCNY debate also aired on WSTM-TV (Channel 3) and WTVH-TV (Channel 5). Those debates took place in October and November.
Maffei declined to participate in a third debate sponsored by cable news station YNN and Syracuse University because the event did not have a traditional debate format and rules.
Miller, the campaign manager, made his comments after Katko declined to sign a pledge, proposed by Maffei, to reject spending by political groups or super PACs that do not disclose their donors.

On one hand, you have fans who loved seeing Fedor's glory days in Pride who figure that there's nothing wrong with seeing him back in Japan on New Year's Eve, which was once an annual tradition. On the other hand, you have fans who are disappointed that Fedor won't be facing a high-level opponent, as Ishii is just 4-1-1 in his MMA career and doesn't have anything close to the kind of MMA resume that Fedor has.
The reality is that this fight -- and Fedor's fight in Moscow last month against Jeff Monson -- is just what we're going to see from the 35-year-old Fedor at this point, as he enters the last phase of his legendary career. We're not going to see Fedor against Top 10 competition anymore, so we might as well enjoy watching him against the competition he will face, guys like Ishii and Monson who are perfectly respectable but far from elite.
Before I go any further, there's a little revisionist history to get out of the way: Some people like to claim that Fedor never fought high-quality competition, that all he did was "crush cans" in Japan. That's really not an accurate account of any stage of Fedor's career: He beat good opponents like Babalu Sobral and Ricardo Arona in Rings early in his career, beat good opponents like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Mirko Cro Cop in Pride in the prime of his career, and beat good opponents like Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski in Affliction late in his career. It's true that Fedor liked to mix in easy fights against the likes of Lee Hasdell and Yuji Nagata, but at his best he took on many of the best heavyweights in the world and beat them consistently.
What has changed is simple: Fedor is not at his best anymore, and now he's not in a position to fight the best heavyweights anymore. The sport's top heavyweights are signed to exclusive Zuffa contracts, and so they're not going to be fighting Fedor any time soon.
And really, Fedor shouldn't be fighting an elite heavyweight right now. After consecutive losses to Fabricio Werdum, Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Dan Henderson, taking a step back in quality of competition only made sense for Fedor, because he can't compete with the truly elite in the sport anymore. That's not a knock on Fedor, any more than it's a knock on Michael Jordan to say that he wasn't as good with the Washington Wizards as he was with the Chicago Bulls. It's just the reality with aging athletes.
The good news about the Ishii fight is that while Fedor is a heavy favorite, it's not a mismatch to the same extent that Fedor's last New Year's Eve fight was. In that fight, on December 31, 2007, Fedor was still the No. 1 heavyweight in the world, and seeing him easily submit the Korean giant Hong Man Choi in a Japanese freak show felt like a waste of time. Ishii isn't on Fedor's level, but Fedor-Ishii in 2011 is a more competitive fight than Fedor-Choi in 2007 was.
The other piece of good news is that this will be Fedor's fourth fight this year, making 2011 the most active year for Fedor since 2004, when he was the heavyweight champion in Pride. If you're a Fedor fan, seeing him fight frequently is not a bad thing.
So that's where Fedor is at this late stage in his career. He's no longer fighting the best of the best on the biggest stages in the sport, but if you've enjoyed watching him fight, there are worse things than seeing him in the ring with Ishii on New Year's Eve.

Sample Report
This late drawing, previously unpublished, is likely to be such an independent work, as no related painting of this subject by the artist is known. In style and technique, the present sheet may be compared with other drawings by Cades of the 1790's, such as a study of St. Nicholas of Bari Receiving His Bishop's Robes in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon.
The subject of this drawing is taken from Greek mythology. Jupiter had seduced Io, the beautiful daughter of the first King of Argos and a priestess of the temple of Juno, the god's wife. When Juno became suspicious, Jupiter quickly changed Io into a white heifer to hide her from his wife.

Bottle purchased for me by @epiclurk.
I swirled the bottle halfway through the pour, then emptied it down to the dregs in the glass, in finest witbier style. The result is a very cloudy, and very faintly pink-tinged pale gold, with a depth of colour slightly heavier than expected. Head fizzles itself out pretty quickly, leaving a ring of very fine white foam that leaves minimal patchy lacing. Overall, not bad, but not altogether that exciting.
Nose is very pleasant indeed. Very fresh and fragrant citrus comes forward nicely, with aromas of bergamot or lemon myrtle. Yes, there's a light spice to it as well from the coriander, which adds a little piquancy to the other sweeter citrus tones. Overall, very aromatic and pleasant stuff.
Taste is a bit more pedestrian. There's still that mild sweet citrus tone, but there's a thinness to the palate, which isn't helped by the lack of true body or sweetness in the beer. Unfortunately, there's also a mild bread yeast funk on the back as well, that dries out the palate and leaves a slightly unsavoury character. But, for 99% of the time it's in your mouth, your mouth will have a good time.
Overall, it's a pretty solid stab at the style, with just a few flaws. Get rid of the flaws and this is probably one of the best Aussie witbiers out there: it certainly has some very pleasant flavours.

2.2/5 rDev -29%
330ml bottle into a 15oz glass.
Minimal head on pouring and whatever was there disappears ever so quickly. Dull pale light golden hue that looks unappealing at best.
Smell has faint clove and a little bit of orange peel. Muted, especially considering the extent to which the orange comes through on the taste.
As alluded, lot of orange and orange peel to taste. Plenty of nutmeg there as well. Both big, both not really working that well together.
Not the most sessionable. The lack of carbonation and spice makes this pretty slow going, even on a summer's day.
Been a while since I enjoyed a Wit and it will be longer still. The fonder memories of Hoegaarden are miles away.

Hazy pale straw pour, good persistent head showing some lacing.
Artificial lemony aroma, with some sickly nutmeg and ginger. Really weird, it's like there's some eggs in there or something...
Very similar flavours, faint lemon, nutmeg and that weird eggy taste.
Very watery, moderate carbonation.
Thought this may have been just a bad beer, but the whole sixer was like this.

This pours a very cloudy straw yellow with a head that drops very quickly.
The nose is coriander and jaffas (don't ask me why but that's what I got.). Other herbs come through as well with a bouquet garni effect.
The coriander continues on the palate with some malts in there as well. Ok.
Medium bodied.

Poured from a 640ml bottle, with it being somewhat problematic, as the first glass had no head, and the second did (the yeast couldn't come out on the first pour even after swirling).
Cloudy pale yellow, with a very small white head which dissipitated into nothing at all.
The smell is nearly pure coriander, and is just overpowering. There is nothing more to it but herbal fragrance. Some mild spice, but it is ridiculously strong and quite off putting.
Taste is similar. Some mild citrus orange flavours, but then a big whack of coriander. I question if I am eating a coriander pizza or drinking a beer. It is at least drinkable.
Quite an effort to get through really, with the strong spice notes. A heavier mouthfell compared to other wits. I don't recommend at all, and in fact am highly disappointed.

3.73/5 rDev +20.3%
Pours a pale translucent canary colour with positivie - if uninspiring - head; steady trickle of champagnesque bubbles keeps it alive from below. Nice murk in the body and an interesting spectrum to 'clear' at the base. I think serving this in a champagne glass was a good idea.
Nose is very pleasantly tart, with a good refreshing tingle to it. Lots of orange and lemon notes, slightly candied with hints of green grapes and apricot jam as well. Spice is vaguely noticeable, slightly peppery, no distinct coriander. Very Belgian smell though, tasty.
Taste is a little bit lacklustre. Well, it's not bad, more lack-fruit. Has a nice tart wheaty malty pervading most of the front palate, with slight citric notes and a dry white wine edge. Finish has pleasant spice, with coriander and more herbal notes, a slight tea edge and finished off with a hint of peppermint. Slight tartness at the back as well puts me in mind of raisins.
Feel is a bit dry on the mid but there's enough body to keep it slick as it goes down. Slight bite at the front, but otherwise no rough edges.
Seems a tad simple overall, but very decent drinking.

3.73/5 rDev +20.3%
Appearance as per other tasting notes before me; hazy lemon / orange with poor head retention. Striking aromas of big spices - cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg - I sound like I'm ripping off Mullet's note but these characters are very obvious. Perhaps a fraction contrieved. A touch more pedestrian to taste with the spice making way for lemon and faint honey notes before a whack of pepper and 5 spice kicks in on the finish. Quite unique flavours but you do see traces of this in the blond. Love the 640ml bottles - you'd look very cool sipping on one of these at St Jerome and its ilk (if of course they had the vision to stock it).

2.85/5 rDev -8.1%
Unlike some of the foregoing reviews my 330ml bottle was anything but lacking in head.The light cloudy yellow beer produced a voluminous head.
Overall I thoight this a litle dull.It had a recognisable tartness and crispness ,but all indistinctive.
The impression was a beer that was still being developed and this was a bottleable try but not a lot more

3.18/5 rDev +2.6%
A - Poured from a 640ml bottle into a pint glass with virtually no head. A hazy yellow coloured beer.
S - First thing that comes to the nose is some citrus, tarty notes. Some big spice phenols.
T - Taste is very much like the smell but with the wheat malt a lot more noticeable.
M - Fairly light mouthfeel, medium carbonation.
D - Not bad but I've had better wit beers - including other Australian microbrewed ones.

3.38/5 rDev +9%
Appearance - 3.0
Pours a finger of white head that gradually reduced over a goldy beige body with large sediment, unpleasantly reminding me of stomach bile.
Smell - 3.5
Suggestion of banana is quickly overridden by spice and citrus.
Taste - 3.5
Good sweet-tart balance makes for a very refreshing beer, tasting of candy cane, mixed spice, ginger, clove, coriander, lemon and orange peel. A little over spiced in my opinion.
Mouthfeel - 3.5
Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Could stand to be a tad smoother.
Drinkability - 3.0
Perhaps a sessionable beer for some. While refreshing and easy to drink, I found this too spicy to want to drink more than one or two.
Not a textbook witbier, but still underrated in my opinion. Tart and refreshing, full of flavour, not a lot to complain about - a good summer beer.

W.T. Author Wristwatch
These days, it seems like a new company is coming out with a wristwatch every time you turn around. And while W.T. Author joins a sea of many with their new line of timepieces, we'll say they do what they do better than most of the competition. These watches are elegant pieces of manliness custom made to encircle your wrist. With Swiss made movements and a 46mm custom made casing, W.T. Author has the functionality down pat. As looks go, they (wisely) use a gorgeous, no frills, rugged leather strap and offer the facing in a choice of four colors: Read More

Peter Travers Rolling Stone
Inspired by a true story (translation: a lot of it is made up), the movie shucks its corn straight from the cob. But it's no less engaging for that, thanks to the enthusiasm of the young cast and the fusion of classic dance with hip-hop moves courtesy of Rich and Tone Talauega. show more
Ruthe Stein San Francisco Chronicle
An energetic young cast, consisting of a mix of professional dancers and actors who do convincing imitations of Arthur Murray graduates, is positively inspired in numbers combining traditional ballroom steps with hip-hop. show more
Claudia Puig USA Today
The movie's best moments are between Banderas and the kids. When the plot shifts to reveal the students' back stories (one has a prostitute mother, another a drunken father), the story becomes a melodramatic rehash of other movies, like "Fame" or "Rent." show more

At one point, Dulaine takes the students to his studio and they look up at the mirrored disco ball glittering above the dance floor. "Corny, but cool," says one of the sweathogs. My feelings about the film precisely. show more

Your Facebook Photos Make Me Want Another Kid
Before having my daughter (who is now almost 3) I thought I wanted multiple kids. I have 3 siblings myself and love that I have so many treasured childhood memories. My husband thought he wanted 2 kids so I figured we'd at least have that many.
Not so much.
My pregnancy was more difficult than we expected and my daughter's birth, yeah well I'm kind of a broken record at this point about how traumatic that was. Add to this that she was colicky until she was 6 months old and we both were pretty much past the idea of having another kid. My husband has been more adamant than me about not wanting another child, in large part because of how crappy it was for us for a while but also because 2 kids in daycare is so much $$. Seriously, I don't know how people do it.

Boston in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Boston in One Day Sightseeing Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Excellent. The tour guide took her time and gave a detailed description of North Boston, from where it was back in history and where it is today. She was very knowledgeable, patient, friendly which made the tour a memorable experience.
Teresa K.
All my tours meet my needs .
What a wonderful experience. Priced right, clean bus, and comfortable. And the driver Frank was courteous, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Would recommend.
It was raining the hole day, but the tour and information given made the your well worth going.
A full day seeing all the sights in and around Boston. The information about the history of the War of Independence was interesting but it assumed an American audience. A more comfortable bus would have been an improvement.. This did not detract from the enjoyment and I would recommend this trip.
I got to see every popular spots in Boston area. The driver/guide, Mr. Jerry was awesome. He def. made our tour the best. It's all day tour so it took us all day, but I got to see outside of Boston too, so it was great. Highly Recommended! 5 Stars!!
Very interesting and informative
The whole experience was wonderful. I enjoyed, Jerry, our tour guide who was knowledgable with a great sense of humor. My husband's minor in college was history. He was familiar with much of the history about the Revolutionary War, but was impressed with the details and some unknown facts which Jerry shared. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Boston. We will definitely recommend Viator to our friends. Thanks for a great experience.
tour guide excellent, very informative and had a joke throughout the tour would recommend this tour for first time visitors to boston.
The trip was absolutely amazing! The guide (Jerry) was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He gave us detailed information about the historic significance of the sites we visited. He also exuded a real appreciation for American history, and was enthusiastic about imparting his knowledge.
The bus trip was comfortable. I was very grateful that Viator picked me up from the Adams Inn in Quincy and brought me back home at no extra charge. The price ($62) was well worth the tour and transportation!
The places we visited were historically significant for the development of our nation. We had sufficient time to get off the bus and visit places, like Lexington, Concord, and "Old Ironsides."
One more thing: I left my camera on the bus, but easily retrieved it the next morning, thanks to the honesty, efficiency, and helpfulness of whoever found it and the office personnel.
This was a full five-star tour! Will recommend it to others. Keep up the great work!
IT'S the only way to go. Those Boston streets are too hard to get around on your own. You can see so much more in less time. Our driver/guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Hello, My husband and I took this tour of Boston with Viator and it was very nice. It was raining so as a result we were not able to go out of the bus to see the different things listed on the tour. But our driver made it really enjoyable even with the rain. I would recommend this tour to see all the highlights and not too much walking.
We had a guide who was a history teacher and Harvard graduate. Super tour.
This tour was FANTASTIC, OUSTANDING! Our Driver Frankie was responsible for taking the experience to another level. We saw so many things in a short period of time. At the end of our tour Frankie even drove us to our hotel door so that my daughter would not be late for her dance class at the convention. Thanks again Frankie. You ROCK!
We did this trip on our first day in Boston. It was a great way to start our vacation. We got a feel for the city during the 7 hour tour. The bus made frequent stops so we could get off and snap pictures and walk around. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the city for the first time.

Hi everyone. Stephen and I are getting ready to embark on our Italian adventure. I've never done a blog before but thought we would try this to make our friends and family incredibly jealous of our adventure! ;) Actually we wish you could all come with us!
We will be visiting Rome, Taormina (Sicily), and Naples. There ...
Elk Falls
... National Forest. Although this is a popular area, we arrived early enough that no other people were here. A brief thunderstorm on the way may have helped in keeping the crowds away. From the parking area, we followed the short Big Falls Trail (172) less than half a mile down past the top of the waterfall to the base of the falls. Elk Falls is a very scenic 65-foot waterfall with a huge pool ...

Was freezing cold, the was blowing hard, and the ground was covered in ice and frozen mud. At least the sunrise was amazing, the light filtered through the trees/fog like golden spikes of light. Top of Roan mountain was cool, the shelter has a real door, more of a giant play house :-) The trip to the big red barn ...
52 mile nonstop hike
... well constructed sentences. ...and just sat down, - at this moment even the LONG ASS down hill into Uncle Johnny's seemed like Everest! After a few, as in about 10!, switch backs.... (what the heck..I do not remember that many from my 2008 thru-hike)..... I arrived at Uncle Johnny's! A few sodas, and my last Pastrami/ baby spinach sandwhich was in order :-) Finally able to relax, and get a shower :-) Time to relax, drink up/eat up, and talk to friends ...
Hemlock Hollow Hostel
... dry off - it was not until hours later that I was able to get a shower to actually wash off the dried on soap, from the first attempt to take a shower. If this place gets the water situation fixed, so that more than one hiker every 30 minutes can get a shower, it would be an all around awesome spot! Forrest, MacGyver, and a few others came in tonight. Great to see them, and meet the new hikers! Going to finish watching this movie, then go to bed. You all have a great night, and keep ...

The Raptors 18th season kicks off on Wednesday night when they host the Indiana Pacers at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. After a roughly six month hiatus since their last meaningful (and I do use that term very loosely) action, and a pre-season showing that has taken expectations up a level or two, the anticipation for opening night is as high in Raptor Nation as it has been since the VC days. Here's eight other games you need to circle on the calendar for the upcoming season. Toronto Raptors @ Oklahoma City Thunder - November 6th, 2012The Raptors will get their first peek at the newly modified Thunder team as they travel to Oklahoma City to close out the NBA's first week back.

Commonwealth Bank's Office Fund Ends Pact on Dexus, CPPIB Bid
Commonwealth Bank of Australia ended an agreement with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Dexus Property Group (DXS) on their A$2.8 billion ($2.6 billion) bid for the bank's office fund after the consortium failed to match GPT Group's (GPT) higher offer.
The Commonwealth Property Office Fund's (CPA) manager ended the agreement, which allowed Dexus exclusive due diligence, as it didn't match GPT's competing proposal valued at A$3 billion, it said in a regulatory filing today. Dexus can continue due diligence on a non-exclusive basis, it said.
Today's announcement allows GPT to begin discussions on the fund as it fights Dexus for control of A$3.8 billion of office buildings in Australia's biggest cities. Dexus, which in July agreed to buy a 14.9 percent stake in the fund known as CPA said last week it won't back GPT's offer.
While Dexus and the Canadian fund are committed to their bid, it's too soon to respond to GPT's proposal, Dexus said separately today. The companies have entered into a new confidentiality agreement with CPA's manager and will continue with due diligence, it said.
CPA shares fell 0.2 percent to A$1.2625 as of 10:53 a.m. in Sydney. Dexus shares rose 0.7 percent to A$1.052, and GPT securities jumped 3 percent to A$3.665, compared with a 0.6 percent gain in the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index.

The sever treated us like a burden and ignored us for at least twenty minutes after we were seated. Took us over a half an hour to get a beer, i know because i made a phone call right before going into the restaurant. They were also out if several beers that were on the menu.
The food was very good. The calamari was cooked just right, not too common to find a chef that doesn't over cook it.
If you can stand a rude and inattentive server, then the food is worth it.

Postea Hercules multa alia praeclara perfecit, quae perscribere longum est. Tandem Deianiram in matrimonium duxit.
Afterwards Hercules completed many other very famous things, which is long to report. Finally, he led Deianira into marriage.
Tribus post annis accidit ut puerum quendam occideret, cui nomen erat Eunomus.
Three years after, it happened that he killed a certain boy whose name was Eunomus.
Mos erat ut, si quis casu hominem occidisset, in exsilium iret; itaque Hercules cum uxore suā e finibus civitatis exire contendit.
There was a custom that if anyone had killed a man accidentally, he would go into exile, and so Hercules hastened to leave out of the boundaries of this city-state with his wife.
Dum iter faciunt, ad flumen quoddam pervenerunt in quo nullus pons erat.
While they were making the journey, they arrived at a certain river on which there was no bridge.
Dum quaerunt quo modo flumen transire possent, accurrit centaurus Nessus, qui viatoribus auxilium obtulit.
While they were asking which way they might beect able to cross the river. the centaur Nessus ran up, who offered help to the travelers.
Hercules uxorem suam in tergum eius imposit; tum ipse flumen tranavit.
Hercules put his wife onto his back, then he, himself, swam across the river.
At Nessus paulum in aquam progressus ad ripam subito revertit, ac Deianiram auferre conatus est.
But Nessus, having set out to the water a little. Suddenly he returned to the riverbank, and then attempted to carry Deianira off.
Quod cum animadvertisset Hercules, graviter commotus arcum intendit et pectus Nessi sagittā transfixit.
When Hercules had noticed this, he having been agitated seriously he stretched out his bow and pierced the heart of Nessus with an arrow.
Itaque Nessus sagittā Herculis transfixus moriens humi iacēbat; sed ne occasionem sui ulciscendi amitteret, ita locutus est: "Tu, Deianira, verba morientis audi.
And so, Nessus having been pierced, with the arrow of Hercules was laying on the ground dying; but lest he lose the opportunity of avenging himself, thus he said "You, Deianira, hear the words of the dying one.
Si amorem tui mariti conservare vis, nunc sanguinem qui e pectore meo effunditur sume ac repone; tum si Hercules umquam in suspicionem tibi venerit, vestem eius hōc sanguine tingues."
If you wish to preserve the love of your husband, now take up and store the blood which is being shed from my heart, then if Hercules ever comes into suspicion for you, you will stain his clothes with this blood.
Haec locutus, Nessus mortuus est; Deianira autem nihil mali suspicans eius iussa fecit.
Having spoken these things, Nessus was dead;however Deianira suspecting nothing evil did his commands.
Paulo post Hercules bellum contra Eurytum regem suscepit. Cum regem ipusm cum filiis interfecisset, Iolen eius filiam secum reduxit.
A little after, Hercules undertook a war against Eurytus, the king. When he had killed the king himself with his sons, he led back his daughter Iole with himself
Sed priusquam domum pervenit, navem ad Cenaeum appulit, et in terram egressus, aram constituit ut Iovi sacrificium faceret.
But before he arrived home, he landed his ship at Cenaeus and having disembarked onto the land he established an altar to make sacrifice to Jupiter.
Dum sacrificium parat, Licham socium suum domum misit qui vestem albam referret; mos erat apud antiquos, cum sacrificia facerent, albam vestem gerere.
While he was preparing the sacrifice, he sent his comrade Lichas to his home to bring back the white clothing; there was the custom to wear white clothing when they were making sacrifices.
At Deianira, verita ne Hercules amorem erga Iolen habēret, vestem priusquam Lichae dedit, sanguine Nessi tinxit.
But Deianira having feared that Hercules might have love toward Iole, before gave the clothes to Lichas she stained it with the blood of Nessus.
Hercules,nihil mali suscipans vestem quam Lichas attulerat statim induit. Paulo post magnam dolorem sensit, et quae causa esset eius rei magnopere mirabatur.
Hercules suspecting nothing evil immediately put on the clothing which Lichas had brought. A little after he felt pain, and he greatly wondered what might be the cause of this thing.
Dolore paene exanimatus
vestem detrahere conatus est; illa tamen in corpore haesit, neque ullo modo detrahi potuit.
Almost having been killed because of the pain he tried to remove the clothing; nevertheless that clinged on his body, nor was it able to be removed in any way.
Tum demum Hercules in montem se contulit, atque in rogum, quem summā celeritate exstruxit, se imposuit.
Then finally Hercules proceeded onto a mountain and he played himself onto a funeral pyre which he constructed with the greatest swifteness.
Hoc cum fecisset, ab eis qui circumstabant petevit ut rogum quam celerrime incenderent.
When he had done, he sought those who were standing around to light the funeral pyre as quickly as possible.
Omnes diu recusabant; tandem pastor quidam ad misericordiam inductus ignem incendit. Tum, dum omnia fumo occulantur, Hercules densā nube tectus a Iove in Olympum sublatus est.
For a long time, all refused; finally a certain shepard led to mercy lit the fire. Then, while everything was covered with smoke, Hercules having been covered by the thick cloud was lifted into Olympus by Jupiter.

The year is almost over, which is typically the time one reflects on the past 365 days. So looking back today we take a closer glance at some of 2012′s biggest mistakes, flops and screw-ups. We'll go through all the usual software, technology and even PR stunts that caused more harm than good to a company attempting something new… Or worse, doing something horribly wrong that they used to do well all the time!
We've haven't given Apple much news coverage lately, mostly because there isn't much news to give. Apples iPad Mini, though a new product, isn't anything new hardware and technology wise. in fact, it's just a smaller version of a much older iPad. But the iPhone 5 is still around and still selling very well, as it should. The iPhone 5 is a solid device with a strong brand behind it all, not to mention iOS. Although the iPhone 5 isn't new, folks still want it and may only be able to upgrade just now. So, should you upgrade to an iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, or go for a different brand all together?
With the release of the Windows RT, which is the Windows 8 Tablet that is more tablet than PC, folks have been waiting patiently to hear of the price of Windows Surface Pros, the tablets that are more PC than tablet. Well, the cats out of the bag, along with a release date and specific hardware specs, and folks may not be too quick to purchase Microsoft's newest experiment upon release in January.
After Thanksgiving I realized just how much I used my phone for recipes and cooking. I made mixed drinks, desserts and even whole meals using various apps on my phone, tablet and Windows 8 device. Relatives of mine, who are tech deficient in a few ways, were amazed such tools have been available for some time. One was even amazed their favorite recipe website had it's own app. So here are TheBlueDot's favorite cooking/recipe apps!
It's that time of year again, Black Friday is just around the corner with Cyber Monday and Small business Tuesday right behind. Although, it seems, more and more online stores ignore Cyber Monday and have an entire week of crazy sales. We don't have the inside word on what deals to expect, but we do know what new tech gifts you should keep and eye out for and what deals you'll probably see come Black Friday. So get your wallet out, a hot cup of coffee for those long lines and your most comfortable shoes ready, cause the shopping season is here!
Many months ago I wrote an article about the future of Google Wallet and it seems many other companies are jumping into the fray of digital wallet management. Some banks and credit card companies on their own are developing their own digital wallets, which is pushing all of these into a digital arms race. What does this mean for the possible future of digital wallets, and is this the end of plastic?

We're not all just like Farmer Giles
10:49am Thursday 24th January 2013 in News
A WORCESTERSHIRE farmer is featuring on a new Channel 4 series about the farming industry seen through the eyes of the younger generation.
Nick Baxter, aged 23, of Peopleton, near Pershore, appeared in the first episode of a five-part observational documentary series First Time Farmer, which aired on Friday, January 11, at 8pm.
Filmed over a six-month period last year, the fivepart series follows the daily grind of young farmers living in the Cotswolds, Herefordshire and the West Country.
Created by the same team behind Made in Chelsea, each episode will meet three new young farmers including apprentices, shepherds and slaughtermen.
Twenty-three-year-old Nick, who works as a trainee auctioneer at cattle markets in Ludlow and Worcester, said he was approached by Channel 4 to appear in the show.
"It was filmed in the summer of 2012," he said.
"It's a fly-on-the-wall documentary about the lives of young people in the countryside and what they do.
"Hopefully it will be a very good depiction of young people who work in the countryside and in agriculture. Everybody has the idea that farmers are born aged 45.
"Hopefully, it will give an idea that actually we are normal people and not just the 'Farmer Giles' impression a lot of people have. It will hopefully show we are young, dynamic business people who are trying to push business forward."
Mr Baxter, who grew up on his family's farm on the Croome Estate before studying agriculture at Reading University, is seen in the programme to be in line to inherit his father's mixed arable, sheep and beef tenant farm.
But during the show, he is not sure he wants to be a farmer at all and having given farming a go, he decides that he's just "not cut out for it" and returns to his job as a trainee auctioneer at Ludlow market.

Served in bubble pint glass. Poured a very dark brown, just a slight bit of translucence, with 1/2 of tan head that had nice retention and left thick, sticky lacing.
A rich malt aroma greets the nose, nice grains, a noticeable bit of roast and just a touch of sweetness were most apparent. On the tongue the roast flavors were dominant, with a bit of sweetness in the middle and lingering roast hanging around on the finish.
The body was nicely full without being heavy and was smooth and even across the tongue. Drinkability was very good, I could easily sip several of these on a rainy Northwest day. Overall, I found beer to be bordering on a Porter, it's considerably more substantial than most Brown Ales. It's a full and pleasing beer that took the Bronze Medal at the 2011 GABF. A must try if you see it.

Did you know that one of the most successful small rocket programs in the world is run from right here in Winnipeg? Magellan Aerospace (formerly Bristol Aerospace) builds the Black Brant series of sounding rockets for customers around the world. Payloads launched by Black Brants have been studying the upper atmosphere and near-space environment for over 50 years, and have even been launched from right here in Manitoba (at the Churchill Rocket Range on the northern coast of Manitoba). So it's no surprise that we've always wanted a real rocket for the Science Gallery. Well, now we have one! Magellan has loaned the Manitoba Museum a real Black Brant 5C rocket, and it was delivered and installed in…

Tracking Atlatls in Manitoba
You may ask yourself what is an atlatl? An atlatl is a hunting tool that is in two parts, a dart or very thin spear and a throwing board which is used to propel the dart. In most of North America it was the hunting tool of choice for many thousands of years. Archaeologists often use the size of projectile points as indication of which hunting tool was used. To the best of our knowledge somewhere around 3,000 years before present the bow and arrow was introduced. For about 1,000 years atlatls and bows and arrows were used together. Somewhere around 2,000 years ago the atlatl fell out of favour…

Ozil On Song as Arsenal Seal Europe Berth
By Henry Winter | The Daily Telegraph
Published: 29th April 2014 08:21 AM
Last Updated: 29th April 2014 08:21 AM
Arsenal 3 Newcastle 0
Newcastle United's livid supporters could have been forgiven for accusing some of their players of downing tools even before the Tube workers did last night. An impressively large crowd gathered at the Emirates Stadium, making light of the strike that started at 9pm, as Arsenal suffered no disruption to their pursuit of the fourth Champions League place.
With two games remaining, Arsenal are four points clear of fifth-placed Everton and a 17th successive season in Europe's elite competition looks all but assured. They were so comfortable in taking these three points, partly because Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil were so good going forward, causing Newcastle no end of problems.
However, Newcastle were so poor; only their keeper, Tim Krul, emerged with much credit, doing well to be beaten by only Laurent Koscielny, Ozil and Olivier Giroud. Newcastle fans chanted their dissatisfaction, and many expressed their desire for Alan Pardew for leave after a sixth defeat on the spin and only 10 Premier League goals in 2014.
Arsene Wenger's side were so in control that their Twitter feed described events late on as being "exhibition stuff now". Newcastle fans showed their defiance in dif-ferent ways, some removing their shirts, others chanting "you're -nothing special, Tottenham scored four" and that was at St James' Park.
Yet there were some special touches from Arsenal, including a wonderful touch from Ozil to elude Yoan Gouffran. There was a returning sense of confidence to Arsenal, whose fans were singing in praise of Cazorla and company by the end and looking forward to the FA Cup final at Wembley. Pardew's failure to lead Newcastle on an FA Cup run, losing at home against Cardiff City in the third round, has not been forgiven or forgotten.
The team were never in danger in the Premier League, ensconced in mid-table, meaning the fans craved a Cup run even more for some excitement. Wenger has secured his main objective of the season, a return to the Champions League, but only victory in the Cup final can make this a truly successful season for Arsenal.
This was largely straightforward for Arsenal, particularly with Ramsey and Ozil showing why they had been so missed. Goals from Koscielny and Ozil were the least that Arsenal had deserved after some early sparring. Conceding two goals was the least some Newcastle players deserved for a lacklustre showing. Newcastle would have turned around further behind but for the athletic Krul.
For the 2,000 away fans to the right of Krul it was a deeply frustrating sight, watching their team's lack of marking and, at times, commitment. There were increasing shows of dissent towards Pardew, including a couple of banners saying "Pardew Out" and "Next Excuse Pardew?" Otherwise, they could have been forgiven for leaving early.
Slow initially, Arsenal soon accelerated, looking like they wanted to get the game settled before the Tube closed. Ozil and Cazorla began combining on the right and in the centre, looking to unlock Newcastle's five-man midfield and four-strong back-line. Ramsey and Giroud exchanged passes in a quickfire break but Newcastle's defence was holding. Cazorla swerved a cross in, Krul leapt ahead of Koscielny to punch clear but it fell to Ozil. The German showed wonderful technique in meeting the ball first time, sending it fractionally wide of Krul's left-hand upright. Arsenal were getting closer to scoring. Newcastle's defence was slowly opening up.
Pardew was back in the dug-out after his seven-game ban, being greeted back by a smiling Wenger. Pardew had shaped his team up in 4-4-1-1 formation with Dan Gosling pushing on in support of Loic Remy, the pacey striker on loan from Queens Park Rangers who has been linked with a summer move to Arsenal.
Vurnon Anita and Cheick Tiote were holding for Newcastle, having to contend with Ramsey's surges, although Tiote did briefly find time for a run after 20 minutes, knocking the ball past Per Mertesacker but curling his shot high and wide.
Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko started wide, Sissoko soon being booked for pushing Giroud over after 26 minutes, opening the way to goal for Arsenal. It proved an expensive mistake. Cazorla lifted the ball in at speed over the Newcastle defensive line that had a touch of the shambolic about it. Sissoko compounded his earlier error by failing to track Koscielny, who timed his arrival well, meeting the ball with a touch that took it past Krul.
Koscielny's celebration brought him a booking, that infuriating rule that needs scrapping. Arsenal quickly began looking for another goal to celebrate. Krul did brilliantly to push away a Lukas Podolski header from Cazorla's corner.
Tiote reminded Arsenal there was still life in the visitors, powering in a curling 30-yarder that Wojciech Szczesny but Arsenal scored a second just before the interval. Pardew was out of his seat, com-plaining that Giroud was offside as he collected possession and advanced down the right. Mathieu Debuchy played Giroud on. On Giroud went, cutting into the box, betraying a lack of conviction with two strikes straight at Krul, who saved. But the ball continued on to Ozil, who was offside. Neil Swarbrick, the referee, saw nothing wrong and Ozil calmly placed the ball home. It could have been 3-0 at the break. Ozil again paraded the deftness of touch by spiriting the ball past Goffran. Krul prevented an even more dispirited mood spreading across the visiting fans by keeping out Cazorla's drilled shot.
Arsenal fans were entertained at half-time by some replaying of old FA??Cup final songs. They were soon entertained by some skills, including an Ozil run that took him deep into Newcastle territory. There was some brief entertainment for the Newcastle fans when Remy, controlling the ball elegantly, played Gouffran through. He sped away from Koscielny but shot straight at Szczesny.
After 66 minutes, Newcastle fans bordered on open revolt. Arsenal cut through again, good work from Ramsey sending Ozil down the inside-left channel. Ozil swept the ball across and Giroud finished with a powerful header. "It's six in a row, it's six in a row, Alan Pardew, it's six in a row," the Newcastle fans chanted as they collapsed again.
