Cataclysm Catches
Lists new fish caught in Cataclysm, including cooked dishes, alchemy and supplies, and catch rates. On this page:
For changes to catches in Old Azeroth, see Cataclysm Old Azeroth Changes.
Cooked Fish
Cooking recipes are available for the fish dishes in the table below.
- [1] Sold by Bario Matalli, Emrul Riknussun and Fyldan (Alliance), or Naal Mistrunner, Ronald Burch and Shazdar (Horde) for 3 Epicurean's Award.
- [2] 36 class/role-specific primary stat, 36 Stamina
- [3] Sold by guild vendors (found in cities - ask a guard) for 150g. Purchase requires That's A Lot of Bait guild achievement.
Like WotLK, there is normally:
- 1 recipe that gives a resonable buff - ideal for leveling - 24 Stamina and 24 of another bonus, for 1 hour.
- 1 recipe that give a great buff - when only the best will do - 36 Stamina and 36 of another bonus, for 1 hour.
Fish Fry and Scalding Murglesnout are the only dishes that gives no buff. Fish Fry is also the only dish that only restores health: Other dishes also restore both health and mana.
Seafood Magnifique Feast is the new Fish Feast, but with a twist: Its buff is 36 Stamina and 36 "another useful stat". That final statistic is a class-specific stat, making Seafood Magnifique Feast potentially useful to everyone.
Recipes are sold, no trained, and bind to the cook when purchased:
- The recipe for Seafood Magnifique Feast is sold by the new guild vendors (found in cities - ask a guard) for 150g. Purchase requires the That's A Lot of Bait guild achievement - 10,000 catches from pools.
- Other new Cataclysm recipes are sold in exchange for 3 Epicurean's Awards, which are gained by completing the new Azeroth (Darnassus/Ironforge/Stormwind or Orgrimmar/Thunder Bluff/Undercity) daily cooking quests, plus the Dalaran Cooking Quests.
The Fish Finder has detailed information about Cooking Skill. The lowest starting cooking skill for new recipes is 450. (Note that live patches have already made 450 skill much easier to reach than when we first felt the Wrath of the Lich King.)
Alchemy and Supplies
Albino Cavefish are about 15% of the catch in Deepholm. Alchemists use these fish to create Deepstone Oil.
Albino Cavefish
- Alchemy Use: Deepstone Oil. Deepstone Oil can be drunk (it "may cause stiffness"), or 2 Deepstone Oils make a Mysterious Potion
- Mysterious Potion restore 1 to 20000 health and mana: Probably the best restorative potion for the lucky!
- Where to catch »
1-3 Volatile Water can be caught: Around 2% of the catch from most open water and coastal pools, 10% from most inland pools.
Volatile Water
- Used in many Cataclysm-level manufacturing profession recipes (does not combine into Eternals, like Crystallized Water, but does stack in 200s)
- Where to catch »
Volatile Fire can be caught by fishing Pool of Fire in Mount Hyjal's and Twilight Highlands's lava.
Volatile Fire
- Used in many Cataclysm-level manufacturing profession recipes (does not combine into Eternals, but does stack in 200s)
- Where to catch »
A new trunk can be caught from Shipwreck Debris (Cataclysm) around the coast of Tol Barad - Sealed Crates.
Sealed Crate (Cataclysm)
- Always contains 1.5-2g, some professions crafting materials, and consumables - food, drink or potions (all detailed below)
- Where to catch »
A Cataclysm herb, Azshara's Veil, can occasionally be caught while fishing coastal Cataclysm pools and open water.
Azshara's Veil
- Used in many Cataclysm-level Alchemy recipes, and also miled by scribes to make Ashen Pigment (and sometimes Burning Embers)
- Where to catch »
Rare Catches
The Tome of Polymorph: Turtle used to be found in Zul'Gurub, but can now be caught from Cataclysm-level pools.
Tome of Polymorph: Turtle
- Teaches Polymorph: Turtle
- Learned by Mages, requires level 60 (may be caught by non-Mages)
- Where to catch »
It is also possible to catch the Sea Turtle from Cataclysm pools.
Open Water Catch Rates
Within each zone, catches are same regardless of location: There are no known differences between inland and coastal water.
In all new (high level) zones, the most common open water catch is either Sharptooth (inland) or Murglesnout (coastal). Sharptooth and Murglesnout can be cooked, but not into buff foods. Volatile Water can be caught from open water in all these zones. Volatile Water is caught in 1, 2 or 3 per catch.
Open water in each new (high level) zone also contains 2 more catches - a more common "major" catch, a rarer "minor". Major catches can be found in 2 zones, minor catches are unique to each zone:
- Major catch:
- Deepsea Sagefish - Coastal Tol Barad, Twilight Highlands and Uldum
- Lavascale Catfish - Deepholm and Inland Uldum
- Striped Lurker - Mount Hyjal and Inland Twilight Highlands
- Minor catch:
- Albino Cavefish - Deepholm
- Algaefin Rockfish - Coastal Tol Barad and Twilight Highlands
- Blackbelly Mudfish - Inland Uldum
- Fathom Eel - Coastal Uldum
- Highland Guppy - Inland Twilight Highlands
- Mountain Trout - Mount Hyjal
Fish can also be caught in Vashj'ir: Most areas contain a lot of Murglesnout and a few Algaefin Rockfish. Unnamed areas of the Shimmering Expanse also contain Deepsea Sagefish and Fathom Eel.
The table below summarises catch rates for each location, using data from sample fishing sessions (thanks to Hoddie, Kaliope, Yoco, Idoru, Bonzoh, and Nadal). Each zone has a similar pattern to the overall average. This means that all these zones probably have precisely the same chance of a trash (Sharptooth or Murglesnout), major, minor, or Volatile Water catch. Slight differences in the data are just errors caused by sampling.
Zone | Total Non-Junk Catch | Catch Percentage | |||
Sharptooth | Major Catch | Minor Catch | Volatile Water | ||
Total/Average | 2782 | 50% | 30% | 15% | 6% |
Deepholm | 431 | 50% | 30% | 15% | 5% |
Mount Hyjal | 590 | 50% | 30% | 16% | 5% |
Uldum | 822 | 48% | 32% | 15% | 5% |
Twilight Highlands | 939 | 51% | 28% | 14% | 7% |
The original analysis shown above has been changed by subsequent patches:
- In patch 4.1, coastal waters of Twilight Highlands and Uldum had approximately a 2% chance of Volatile Water, with a 2% chance of Azshara's Veil, instead of 5% Volatile Water.
- In patch 4.3, the proportion of Volatile Water from open water dropped to 1-2%. The catch rate of Sharptooth in inland Uldum also decreased, thus raising the catch rate of the major catch there (Lavascale Catfish).
Pool Catches
All the "minor" open water catches (above) are also found in pools. Known pools are:
- Albino Cavefish School - Deepholm
- Deepsea Sagefish School - Coastal Twilight Highlands (Algaefin Rockfish School until patch 4.3)
- Blackbelly Mudfish School - Inland Uldum
- Fathom Eel Swarm - Coastal Tol Barad and Uldum
- Highland Guppy School - Inland Twilight Highlands
- Mountain Trout School - Mount Hyjal
Each pools contains 3, 4 or 5 catches - on average 4. Catch rates are shown in the table below. Overall, 90% of the catch is the fish named in the pool name, 10% is Volatile Water. Volatile Water can be caught in 1, 2 or 3. Not enough data is available to analyse the chances of each, but tentatively, a single Volatile Water is more likely to be caught than 2 or 3. So on average about 1.8 Volatile Water are gained from each Volatile Water catch.
Pool | Sample Pools | Sample Catches | Catch Percentage | |
Named Fish | Volatile Water | |||
Total/Average | 147 | 570 | 90% | 10% |
Albino Cavefish School | 13 | 49 | 86% | 14% |
Algaefin Rockfish School** | 12 | 50 | 90% | 10% |
Blackbelly Mudfish School | 30 | 121 | 88% | 12% |
Fathom Eel Swarm** | 60 | 227 | 90% | 10% |
Highland Guppy School | 15 | 58 | 93% | 7% |
Mountain Trout School | 17 | 65 | 95% | 5% |
** Pre-patch 4.1 analysis shown: Deepsea Sagefish School (formerly Algaefin Rockfish School) and Fathom Eel Swarm now have approximately a 5% chance of Volatile Water, with a 5% chance of Azshara's Veil.
There are 2 other new pools types:
- Pool of Fire - Lava in Mount Hyjal and Twilight Highlands. Contains Volatile Fire. Based on a sample of 26 pools (76 catches), each Pool of Fire contains 2, 3 or 4 catches - average 3. Each catch has an equal chance of either 1 or 2 Volatile Fire. The average yield from one Pool of Fire is 4.5 Volatile Fire.
- Shipwreck Debris (Cataclysm) - Coastal Tol Barad. May contain Sealed Crate (Cataclysm), Azshara's Veil and/or Volatile Water - all described above. Based on a sample of 35 pools (50 catches), each Shipwreck Debris contains 1 or 2 catches - average just over 1.4. 60% of the catch are Sealed Crate (Cataclysm), 25% Volatile Water (1 or 2), and 15% Azshara's Veil (1 or 2).
Based on a sample of 31 crates, the average contents per Sealed Crate is:
- 1.5-2g
- 4.7 Embersilk Cloth
- 1.9 Cataclysm-level herbs
- 1.8 Cataclysm-level ores
- 1.5 drinks
- 2.2 Cataclysm-level food
- Insignificant chance of Cataclysm-level potions, leather and Volatiles.

Python Interview Question and Answers
20For the last few weeks I have been interviewing several people for Python/Django developers so I thought that it might be helpful to show the questions I am asking together with the answers. The reason is … OK, let me tell you a story first.
I remember when one of my university professors introduced to us his professor – the one who thought him. It was a really short visit but I still remember one if the things he said. "Ignorance is not bad, the bad thing is when you do no want to learn."
So back to the reason – if you have at least taken care to prepare for the interview, look for a standard questions and their answers and learn them this is a good start. Answering these question may not get you the job you are applying for but learning them will give you some valuable knowledge about Python.
This post will include the questions that are Python specific and I'll post the Django question separately.
- How are arguments passed – by reference of by value?
The short answer is "neither", actually it is called "call by object" or "call by sharing"(you can check here for more info). The longer one starts with the fact that this terminology is probably not the best one to describe how Python works. In Python everything is an object and all variables hold references to objects. The values of these references are to the functions. As result you can not change the value of the reference but you can modify the object if it is mutable. Remember numbers, strings and tuples are immutable, list and dicts are mutable. - Do you know what list and dict comprehensions are? Can you give an example?
List/Dict comprehensions are syntax constructions to ease the creation of a list/dict based on existing iterable. According to the 3rd edition of "Learning Python" list comprehensions are generally faster than normal loops but this is something that may change between releases. Examples:# simple iteration a = [] for x in range(10): a.append(x*2) # a == [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18] # list comprehension a = [x*2 for x in range(10)] # dict comprehension a = {x: x*2 for x in range(10)} # a == {0: 0, 1: 2, 2: 4, 3: 6, 4: 8, 5: 10, 6: 12, 7: 14, 8: 16, 9: 18}
- What is PEP 8?
PEP 8 is a coding convention(a set of recommendations) how to write your Python code in order to make it more readable and useful for those after you. For more information check PEP 8. - Do you use virtual environments?
I personally and most(by my observation) of the Python developers find the virtual environment tool extremely useful. Yeah, probably you can live without it but this will make the work and support of multiple projects that requires different package versions a living hell. - Can you sum all of the elements in the list, how about to multuply them and get the result?
# the basic way s = 0 for x in range(10): s += x # the right way s = sum(range(10)) # the basic way s = 1 for x in range(1, 10): s = s * x # the other way from operator import mul reduce(mul, range(1, 10))
As for the last example, I know Guido van Rossum is not a fan of reduce, more info here, but still for some simple tasks reduce can come quite handy.
- Do you know what is the difference between lists and tuples? Can you give me an example for their usage?
First list are mutable while tuples are not, and second tuples can be hashed e.g. to be used as keys for dictionaries. As an example of their usage, tuples are used when the order of the elements in the sequence matters e.g. a geographic coordinates, "list" of points in a path or route, or set of actions that should be executed in specific order. Don't forget that you can use them a dictionary keys. For everything else use lists. - Do you know the difference between range and xrange?
Range returns a list while xrange returns ageneratorxrange object which takes the same memory no matter of the range size. In the first case you have all items already generated(this can take a lot of time and memory) while in the second you get the elements one by one e.g. only one element is generated and available per iteration. Simple example of generator usage can be find in the problem 2 of the "homework" for my presentation Functions in Python - Tell me a few differences between Python 2.x and 3.x
There are many answers here but for me some of the major changes in Python 3.x are: all strings are now Unicode, print is now function not a statement. There is no range, it has been replaced by xrange which is removed. All classes are new style and the division of integers now returns float. - What are decorators and what is their usage?
According to Bruce Eckel's Introduction to Python Decorators "Decorators allow you to inject or modify code in functions or classes". In other words decorators allow you to wrap a function or class method call and execute some code before or after the execution of the original code. And also you can nest them e.g. to use more than one decorator for a specific function. Usage examples include – logging the calls to specific method, checking for permission(s), checking and/or modifying the arguments passed to the method etc. - The with statement and its usage.
In a few words the with statement allows you to executed code before and/or after a specific set of operations. For example if you open a file for reading and parsing no matter what happens during the parsing you want to be sure that at the end the file is closed. This is normally achieved using the try… finally construction but the with statement simplifies it usin the so called "context management protocol". To use it with your own objects you just have to define __enter__ and __exit__ methods. Some standard objects like the file object automatically support this protocol. For more information you may check Understanding Python's "with" statement.
Well I hope this will be helpful, if you have any question or suggestion feel free to comment.
Update: Due to the lots of comments on Reddit and LinkedIn, I understood that there is some misunderstanding about the post. First, the questions I have published are not the only ones I ask, the interview also includes such related to general programming knowledge and logical thinking. Second the questions above help me get a basic understanding of your Python knowledge but they are not the only think that makes my decision. Not answering some of them does not mean that you won't get the job, but it may show me on which parts we should to work.
Django for Web Prototyping
3Or how to use the benefits of Django template system during the PSD to HTML phase
There are two main approaches to start designing a new project – Photoshop mock-up or an HTML prototype. The first one is more traditional and well established in the web industry. The second one is more alternative and (maybe)modern. I remember a video of Jason Fried from 37 Signals where he talks about design and creativity. You can see it at http://davegray.nextslide.com/jason-fried-on-design. There he explains how he stays away from the Photoshop in the initial phase to concetrate on the things that you can interact with instead of focusing on design details.
I am not planning to argue which is the better method, the important thing here is that sooner or later you get to the point where you have to start the HTML coding. Unfortunately frequently this happens in a pure HTML/CSS environment outside of the Django project and then we waste some extra amount of time to convert it to Django templates.
Wouldn't be awesome if you can give the front-end developers something that they can install/run with a simple command and still to allow them to work in the Django environment using all the benefits it provides – templates nesting and including, sekizai tags etc.
I have been planning to do this for a long time and finally it is ready and is available at Django for Prototyping. Currently the default template includes Modernizr, jQuery and jQuery UI but you can easily modify it according to your needs. I would be glad of any feedback and ideas of improvement so feel free to try it and comment.
Introduction to Django – presentation
0This presentation shows the basics of Django – what is inside the framework and explains the Model-View-Template system. One of the most important parts is a diagram how the request is processed and the response is generated. Shows the project and the application structure and the basic elements – Models, URLs dispatcher, Views and Templates.
Functions in Python Homework
1After some delay(please excuse me for it) here are sample solutions of the problems defined in the presentation Functions in Python. Solutions are also available at GitHub.
Functions in Python presentation
6Here is my presentation part of the in company Python course.
The last slide – "Problem to solve" is something like a simple homework. Sample solutions will be uploaded later this week.
Simple Site Checker and the User-Agent header
0Preface: Nine months ago(I can't believe it was that long) I created a script called Simple Site Checker to ease the check of sitemaps for broken links. The script code if publicly available at Github. Yesterday(now when I finally found time to finish this post it must be "A few weeks ago") I decided to run it again on this website and nothing happened – no errors, no warning, nothing. Setting the output level to DEBUG showed the following message "Loading sitemap …" and exited.
Here the fault was mine, I have missed a corner case in the error catching mechanism i.e. when the sitemap URL returns something different from "200 OK" or "500 internal server error". Just a few second and the mistake was fix.
Problem and Solution: I ran the script again and what a surprise the sitemap URL was returning "403 Forbidden". At the same time the sitemap was perfectly accessible via my browser. After some thinking I remembered about that some security plugins block the access to the website if there is not User-Agent header supplied. The reason for this is to block the access of simple script. In my case even an empty User-Agent did the trick to delude the plugin.
urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request(url, headers={'User-Agent': USER_AGENT}))
Final words: As a result of the issue mention above one bug in simple site checker was found fixed. At the same time another issue about missing status and progress was raised, more details can be found at Github but in a few words an info message was added to each processed URL to indicate the progress.
If you have any ideas for improvement or anything else feel free to comment, create issues and/or fork the script.
Automation, Fabric and Django – presentation
1As a follow up post of Automated deployment with Ubuntu, Fabric and Django here are the slides from my presentation on topic "Automation, Fabric and Django". Unfortunately there is no audio podcast but if there is interest I can add some comments about each slide as part of this post.
If there is anything that need explanation feel free to ask.
Django project file structure
12As I promised in Automated deployment with Ubuntu, Fabric and Django I will use this post to explain the file structure that I use for my Django projects and what I benefit from it. So here is my project directory tree.
The structure
~/workspace/<project_name>/ |-- bin |-- include |-- lib |-- local |-- src |-- .git |-- .gitignore |-- required_packages.txt |-- media |-- static |-- <project_name> | |-- <project_name> | | |-- __init__.py | | |-- settings | | | |-- __init__.py | | | |-- <environment_type>.py | | | |-- local.py | | |-- templates | | |-- urls.py | | |-- views.py | |-- manage.py | |-- wsgi.py |-- <project_name>.development.nginx.local.conf |-- <project_name>.< environment_type>.nginx.uwsgi.conf |-- <project_name>.< environment_type>.uwsgi.conf
At the top I have a directory named as the project and virtual environment inside of it. The benefit from it is complete isolation of the project from the surrounding projects and python packages installed at OS level and ability to install packages without administrator permissions. It also provides an easy way to transfer the project from one system to another using a requirements file.
The src folder is where I keep everything that is going to enter the version control project source, requirements files, web server configuration etc.
My default .gitignore is made to skip the pyc-files, the PyDev files and everything in the static and media directories.
The media directory is where the MEDIA_ROOT settings point to, respectively static is for the STATIC_ROOT.
All required packages with their version are placed in required_packages.txt so we can install/update them with a single command in the virtual environment.
In a directory with the name of the project is where the python code resides. Inside it the project structure partly follows the new project layout introduced in Django 1.4.
The big difference here is the settings part. It is moved as a separate module where all common/general settings are place in
I having one local Nginx configuration file because I use the webserver to serve the static files when working locally this is the <project_name>.development.nginx.local.conf.
For each environment there is also a couple of configuration files – one for the web server(<project_name>.< environment_type>.nginx.uwsgi.conf) and one for the uwsgi(<project_name>.< environment_type>.uwsgi.conf). I make symbolic links pointing to these files so any changes made are automatically pushed/pulled via version control, I only have to reload the configuration. There is no option to change something in the configuration at one station and to forget to transfer it to the rest.
- Complete isolation from other projects using virtual environment
- Easy to transfer and update packages on other machines thanks to the pip requirements file
- Media/static files outside the source directory for higher security
- Web server/uWSGI configuration as part of the repository for easier and error proof synchronization
Probably it have some downside(I can not think any of these now but you never know) so if you think that this can be improved feel free to share your thoughts. Also if there is anything not clear enough, just ask me, I will be happy to clear it.
Automated deployment with Ubuntu, Fabric and Django
6A few months ago I started to play with Fabric and the result was a simple script that automates the creation of a new Django project. In the last months I continued my experiments and extended the script to a full stack for creation and deployment of Django projects.
As the details behind the script like the project structure that I use and the server setup are a bit long I will keep this post only on the script usage and I will write a follow up one describing the project structure and server.
So in a brief the setup that I use consist of Ubuntu as OS, Nginx as web server and uWSGI as application server. The last one is controlled by Upstart. The script is available for download at GitHub.
In a wait for more detailed documentation here is a short description of the main tasks and what they do:
- Creates a new virtual environment
- Installs the predefined packages(uWSGI, Django and South))
- Creates a new Django project from the predefined template
- Creates different configuration files for development and production environment
- Initializes new git repository
- Prompts the user to choose a database type. Then installs database required packages, creates a new database and user with the name of the project and generates the local settings file
- Runs syncdb(if database is selected) and collectstatic
- installs the required packages such as Nginx, PIP, GCC etc
- prompts for a database type and install it
- reboots the server as some of the packages may require it
Once you have a ready server and a project just use this the following task to deploy it to the server. Please have in mind that it should be used only for initial deployment.
- Creates a new virtual environment
- Clones the project from the repository
- Installs the required packages
- Creates symbolic links to the nginx/uwsgi configuration files
- Asks for database engine, creates new DB/User with the project name and updates the settings file
- Calls the update_project task
- Updates the source code
- Installs the required packages(if there are new)
- Runs syncdb, migrate and collect static
- Restart the Upstart job that runs the uWSGI and the Nginx server
The script is still in development so use it on your own risk. Also it reflects my own idea of server/application(I am planning to describe it deeper in a follow up post) setup but I would really like if you try it and give a feedback. Feel free to fork, comment and advice.
The road to hell is paved with regular expressions …
13… or what is the cost of using regular expressions for simple tasks
Regular expressions are one of the most powerful tools in computing I have ever seen. My previous post about Django compressor and image preloading is a good example how useful they might be. The only limit of their use is your imagination. But "with great power, comes great responsibility" or in this case a great cost. Even the simplest expressions can be quite heavy compared with other methods.
The reason to write about this is a question recently asked in a python group. It was about how to get the elements of a list that match specific string. My proposal was to use comprehension list and simple string comparison while other member proposed using a regular expression. I was pretty sure that the regular expression is slower but not sure exactly how much slower so I made a simple test to find out.
import re import timeit my_list = ['abc-123', 'def-456', 'ghi-789', 'abc456', 'abc', 'abd'] def re_check(): return [i for i in my_list if re.match('^abc$', i)] t = timeit.Timer(re_check) print 're_check result >>', re_check() print "%.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000) def simple_check(): return [i for i in my_list if i=='abc'] t = timeit.Timer(simple_check) print 'simple_check result >>', simple_check() print "%.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000)
The results was 23.99 vs 1.41 usec/pass respectively for regular expression vs direct comparison i.e. the regexp was 17 times slower. The difference from the example above may be OK in some cases but it rises with the size of the list. This is a simple example how something really quick on local version may take significant time on production and even to broke your application.
So, should you learn and use regular expressions?
Yes! Absolutely!
They are powerful and useful. They will open your mind and allow you to do things you haven't done before. But remember that they are a double-edge razor and should be used cautiously. If you can avoid it with other comparison(one or more) just run a quick test to see whether it will be faster. Of course if you can not avoid it you can also think about caching the results.

[Windows] XUS PC Lock is the same program as Eusing Maze Lock
Posted By Ashraf On March 3, 2013 @ 12:00 AM In Windows | 10 Comments
So today I sat down to review XUS PC Lock, a program that adds smartphone-like pattern lock to Windows. XUS PC Lock is a shareaware program that costs $29.95 and I wanted to give dotTechies the option to use a freeware instead if they didn't want to pay for XUS PC Lock. The only problem is I didn't know a freeware program that adds a pattern lock off the top of my head. Therefore I went searching for one and boy did I come across a pleasant but bothersome surprise.
You see when searching for a freeware pattern lock program for Windows, I came across Eusing Maze Lock [1] is a freeware program that adds a pattern lock to Windows, just like XUS PC Lock. A bit too much like XUS PC Lock in fact.
When looking at the screenshots of Eusing Maze Lock on its homepage (prior to download it), I started to suspect that XUS PC Lock and Eusing Maze Lock may be the same program. Once I downloaded and installed Eusing Maze Lock and compared to to XUS PC Lock, my suspicion proved to be true — Eusing Maze Lock and XUS PC Lock are almost carbon copies of each other with two differences: Eusing Maze Lock is freeware (i.e. costs $0) while XUS PC Lock is shareware (costs $29.95) and XUS PC Lock has one extra feature — the ability to autorun in Safe Mode.
Don't believe me? Check out the following screenshots:
Lock screens (first one is Eusing Maze Lock, second one is XUS PC Lock)
Settings (first one is Eusing Maze Lock, second one is XUS PC Lock)
The evidence is pretty damning (if you still don't believe me, download both programs and see for yourself). Indeed, in looks, features, and usage (they even have the same animation when going to/from lock screen!) XUS PC Lock and Eusing Maze Lock are the same. The only difference, aside from price, is the fact that XUS PC Lock has the ability to autolock upon Safe Mode boot while Eusing Maze Lock doesn't:
So now that we have concluded that the programs are indeed one in the same, the question arises: What is going on? Is someone copying the other? Is one a resale of the other? I don't know.
Based off the research I have done, my guess is Eusing Maze Lock is the original while XUS PC Lock is the copy. It could be that XUS PC Lock has copied Eusing Maze Lock without permission and simply added on that extra feature or XUS PC Lock has rebranded Eusing Maze Lock with permission, e.g. reselling; it could even be that the same developer is behind both products, simply choosing to operate them under two different brands. I don't really know. However, I am 42% certain Eusing Maze Lock is the original (the remaining 58% is undecided).
Why am I saying Eusing Maze Lock is the original and XUS PC Lock is the copy? Based off the following:
With that said, there is also evidence that suggests the theory that XUS PC Lock is the original and Eusing Maze Lock is the copy:
What makes this story even more interesting is two other shareware products, XUS Launcher and XUS Clock, appear to be the same as two other freeware products, Eusing Launcher and Eusing Clock. I didn't download any of these four programs so I cannot be 100% certain but based on their homepages and screenshots, they look to be same.
So, what is the conclusion here? The conclusion here is we know Eusing Maze Lock and XUS PC Lock are the same program but we don't know which one is the copy and which one is the original. We do, however, know Eusing Maze Lock [1] is freeware while XUS PC Lock [13] costs $29.95. So take your pick.

"If there's one thing I know how to do," a friend once told me, after one of those long, grappa-fueled nights of ping-pong that make the rest of life seem like such an enigma, "It's how to have a good time."
Over the years, this friend has explained to me many things: what different drugs are like ("if you must choose just one, mushrooms"), how to bake a chicken (salt, pepper, nothing else), the only way to actually finish writing a book (feverishly, in a remote cabin), and how good family life could be (his toddler-age children fetch beers from the fridge).
But never how to have a good time. Whenever I've been supposed to have a good time, like at an amusement park or a party, I've failed, and then felt worse because of my failure. "Corporate fun" has been especially miserable. But then I came to Redfin. And if there's one thing Redfin knows how to do, it's how to have a good time.
In that spirit, we threw a Red Carpet party last week for our Seattle customers, so they would tell us how to improve our service or our site. And we had a really, really good time. Naturally, I was opposed from the start. "Nobody will come," I said. "And we won't have anything to say."
But I wasn't in charge. Our ringleader, Chelsea Mitchell, got $200 worth of beer on a high-heeled sprint through Costco. Mykie Gunderson cleared out his "Rock Band" junk just outside my office. Matt Goyer set up a computer to show drunk people the next release of Redfin.com.
And the customers came in droves. A Russian couple, on hearing that I was Lithuanian, told me that the "hard-working Lithuanian is a myth." Bahn Lee took one of our prettiest guests and her boyfriend on an extensive Redfin tour. Angela Cough's husband explained to an awe-struck crowd of scrawnies how to do 100 pushups ("just be naturally strong, I guess").
And a dozen different customers came up to me just to gush about how great their experience was. The cumulative effect was overwhelming. Running an online business is a constant effort to think in inhuman dimensions, about changes to your site that can bring millions of new visitors. But at the end of the Red Carpet party, each happy customer seemed like a triumph.
If you'd like to meet the Redfin people in your area, let us know, and we'll set up a Red Carpet party there, too. Thanks to Chelsea, Pam, Janelle and everyone else for setting up the party, and thanks to all the customers who made the event such a blast.

Leave it to Ryan Lochte to make us swoon and say aww with the snap of one single pic!
The Olympic gold medalist (and potential future reality TV star!) hugged a sweet rescue dog named Woody on Access Hollywood Live Thursday morning.
Lochte flashed his signature smile (sans grill!) and wore a bright red polo to show off those bulging biceps.
Ryan Lochte talks Prince Harry's naked photos!
Since returning from across the pond, Ryan has made countless television appearances and even partied in Vegas with Prince Harry last weekend. Although he avoided Harry's nude photo fate, the champion athlete did have a chance to race the prince in the pool.
Luckily, Ryan was "kinda happy" that he didn't receive an invite to the wild afterparty turned nude billiard romp in Harry's suite.
Smart move, Ry—nothing says "wholesome Olympian" like an endearing pic with a pooch!

Hi All, HINTS & TIPS required urgently!
Talking about hi-strung stock and spending money. I, er, um bought a little impulse buy yesterday afternoon while buying cat food (honest) at my local Pets at Home I did my usual browse of their dying fish in the tanks and stumbled across 4 of these little fellows and thought I might 'rescue' them. Alledgedly 'Borneo' Red Claw Shrimp?
Shots of the Male.
One definetly dominant male and 3 female (I think) one is def. berried, but all 3 females have relatively reddish claws and look in decent health.
Speaking to their 'Aquatics' Manager he had brought them in from his supplier as a customer had asked if they could get some 'Tangerine' Orange shrimp??? and apparently they can only be sourced from Florida??? so in his infinite wisdom Mr Manager had brought in 4 of the RCS as an alternative to offer the customer (he didn't want them!).
His loss my gain. Have put them in a tank with my Espe's Rasbora (they are quick enough to get out of RCS range). I am not going to put RCS in with any of my other shrimp as I hear they are quite predatory with dwarf shrimp shrimplets and I believe their own shrimplets. If I have any success with breeding I have another two tanks to separate them out so we don't get males sharing tanks.
As this was an impulse buy I didn't know very much about these shrimp so any quick hints and tips would be appreciated. I did see one UK Shrimp member had listed a Species Profile about them which was a great help to start with. Any more info would be appreciated.
I currently have 1 tank with CRS, Cherries, Snow White (Golden Bee), Indian Dwarf Shrimp (Rainbow), 1 tank with Bee, 1 tank with Espe's Rasbora (& now Red Claw Shrimp) and 2 tanks getting set up for Red Claw overspill if successful and CRS selective breeding.
I hate these little addictive shrimp tendencies I have now!!!
Cheers all.

"Winter Night Central Park" by Lisa Breslow
Lisa Breslow has used painterly skill to imbue her NYC Landscapes with an unexpected gentleness not usually found in urban cityscapes. The play of light and tone brings about a serenity and a sense of mood that linger long after the taxicabs have sped away. It seems as though the artist has played with time and space, but the viewer eventually accepts that this is now and perhaps a message to slow down...Maybe even consider stopping at a red light and taking it all in.

Constanzo's career as a devil-worshipping cult leader fizzled in a shoot-out with police in Mexico City on May 6, 1989. But his life spawned legends, ghost stories, and at least three volumes of hastily written bloodbath journalism; his death rocketed the 25-year-old ghoul to number one among the infamous dead who have come to rest in the graveyards of the greater Miami metropolitan area. At the time of his demise, Constanzo was wanted in connection with the ritual killings of at least fifteen people. Near a lonesome desert ranch house outside Matamoros, Mexico, investigators from both sides of the border uncovered dismembered bodies, human and animal skulls, and satanic iconography - Constanzo's handiwork.
By itself, the 1500-mile journey of Constanzo's corpse was nothing unusual. In death, as in life, South Floridians are a transient lot. The remains of one out of every six people who die in Dade are removed from the state. Al Capone was embalmed in Miami Beach in 1947, but took the train to Chicago for burial. Nicanor Navarro, a jockey struck by lightning after a bad showing in the second race at Calder Race Course two days after Christmas 1978, was shipped back to his native Panama. Anton Uibopuu, a celibate Hare Krishna who had accidentally hanged himself from a ficus tree that same year, returned to his family in New Jersey. (Uibopuu is among two dozen in Dade who have died by autoerotic asphyxiation in the past three decades.) Prince Thamer Bin Abdul Aziz, a despondent member of Saudi Arabian royalty, was flown to Riyadh, dead, the day after setting himself on fire in a Miami motel room in June 1957. Albert Brust, one of Florida's most gruesome crime figures, murdered, raped, tortured, and entombed one victim in a cement-filled bathtub. Brust committed suicide in 1973, by mixing a glass of chocolate milk and cyanide and repairing to the chaise longue in his sunny South Dade back yard. His ashes were buried in an urn in Franklin Square, NY.
In Dade County in 1988, the latest year for which figures have been tallied, 19,475 people died. More than 4000 of those corpses were cremated. Eight went to their graves unidentified, and no one has yet discovered who they are. Two were buried at sea. Sixty-three people donated their bodies to science, had them frozen in cryogenic institutes, or stored them "for sentimental reasons," according to Florida's bureau of vital statistics. Of those buried here, 797 adults and children were too poor to afford a funeral, and wound up in the newest of the county's two potter's fields - a fenced acre of unmarked graves in a corner of Kendall Indian Hammocks Park.
Indeed, some of Dade's deceased seem to consider it a form of punishment to be buried here. Despite the best efforts of groundskeepers at more than a score of cemeteries, Dade's boneyards are relentlessly flat and shadeless. The county's seaside location and sandy soil have always conjured up fears of undesired disinterment by hurricane. Grave robberies, though underreported, are more common here than in many other American cities. "Under no circumstances is my body to be returned to Brooklyn," wrote Dante Contessa before gunning down his sweetheart, Sophia Chadwick, in a Miami Shores trailer park in 1960. "I do not wish for a decent funeral. If the army does not bury me, please just put me in potter's field."
Unlike Paris or Boston, Miami's dead are far outnumbered by the living. But there should be no scarcity of ghosts here on All Hallows Eve. From Hialeah to Homestead, some of the meanest, unluckiest, prematurely deceased folks in the world lie in wait. Zigzagging from south to north across Dade's sprawling, sunbaked necropolis, here's where to find them:
Miami Memorial Park, 6200 SW 77th Ave., South Miami, across the street from Tropical Park
After shooting himself in the head, Dante Contessa wound up here, along with 31,958 other people. They've been pouring in since 1925, when the developers of Miami Memorial ran a full-page newspaper ad pitching the graveyard's "beautifully laid out evergreen lawns and shrubs, stately and dignified buildings in quiet, restful, towering trees and bushes, shaded paths and winding roadways." Drawing on the land boom of the time, Miami Memorial confidently described itself as the progressive place for the postmortem smart set: "In this great history making Magic City, with its hundreds of subdivisions and talk of subdivisions, in all this hustle and bustle, there is but one association taking into consideration the fact that the hundreds of people who are coming to Miami to make their homes will some day pass on to eternal rest. Let our courteous salesmen call on you and explain the Miami Memorial Park in detail."
No salesman got a chance to explain it to Schubert Darmon Lee. The only known suicide-by-snakebite in Dade history, he lies in an unmarked grave in the southwest corner of the cemetery. At the time of his death in May 1964, Lee, the son of two-time Miami City Manager L.L. Lee, was engaged to be married. As the wedding day approached, the groom-to-be fell into a funk, depressed because he couldn't afford a nice house for his bride. All day long on May 20, he sat in his tiny Coconut Grove cottage, moping and staring at the burlap bags that held his collection of pet snakes - several water moccasins and a four-foot-long Pakistani cobra. Sometime after midnight and a few cocktails, Lee thrust his left hand into the cobra bag. Ouch. By a strange, telepathic twist of fate, his fiancee, Florence Gutierrez, thought she heard him calling her name from twenty miles away. She rushed to the cottage, dragged the semiconscious Lee into her car and drove to the hospital. But despite antivenin supplied by friends at the Miami Serpentarium, Lee died. Back-from-the-dead potential: Low. Lee got what he was after.

Chapter 5: Outsource More Services
Colleges and universities are ostensibly in the business of producing and distributing knowledge. Yet huge portions of universities are given over to doing other things: running food and lodging operations, hospitals, recreational centers, building repair and maintenance, high school education (remedial education), entertainment operations (especially intercollegiate sports), information technology services, etc. Many of these operations could be more efficiently provided by specialists in those activities. Many colleges have made some progress in this area, especially in food services, but vastly more can be done.
Colleges should explore contracting out or selling their food and lodging businesses, but also much more, such as IT operations, building maintenance, student health centers, remedial education, and even campus recreational centers. Universities with large hospitals should consider separating the hospital operations from the core university businesses. In some cases, the sale or long-term lease of capital assets is appropriate, particularly dormitories and dining halls. Resources from assets sales can finance capital projects in core academic areas. Done adroitly, colleges can rid themselves of some money-losing auxiliary operations and actually earn revenues from the leasing of campus facilities to private entrepreneurs to operate businesses (e.g., fast food restaurants in student union buildings). Some schools are even outsourcing some instructional services to for-profit companies, partnering with such companies in, for example, offering on-line or remedial education.
Although more controversial radical, the complete separation of highly commercial intercollegiate athletic activities from the university would seem to be appropriate. This is particularly true of schools with big time sports programs that often have budgets approaching and even exceeding $100 million annually.

The Morsi-Zawahiri Connection
Posted By Raymond Ibrahim On October 25, 2013 @ 12:51 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 5 Comments
More people, and from the least expected places, are stepping up to confirm that the now ousted Brotherhood-government of Morsi in Egypt was closely working with al-Qaeda and other jihadi/terrorist organizations in the Sinai — and all with U.S. support.
Nabil Na'im, the former leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad group (where Ayman Zawahiri was before merging with al-Qaeda), recently made such scandalous allegations, especially concerning the relationship between the United States government and the Muslim Brotherhood during a televised broadcast of On TV.
Among other things, he asserted that Egyptian "reconciliation with the Muslim Brotherhood is nothing but a conspiracy by the American administration," and that the Brotherhood, when in power, had betrayed Egyptian sovereignty, adding that ousted president Morsi granted Egyptian citizenship to more than 60,000 Palestinians.
Concerning the former Brotherhood government's relationship with al-Qaeda and Hamas, Na'im said that Egyptian security possesses phone recordings that took place between Morsi and Ayman Zawahiri, the Egyptian leader of al-Qaeda.
Indeed, there appears to be a long paper trail between Morsi and al-Qaeda.
Finally, the ex-jihadi confirmed that "Hamas is the head of the snake in the Sinai," and that the Brotherhood is a close collaborator with the jihadis and terrorists in Sinai.

DURHAM -- New Durham riding MP Erin O'Toole's first order of business was having a quiet morning at home with his family the day after the riding's byelection.
Then the newly minted Conservative MP said he wants to continue meeting Durham residents and hearing the issues that matter to the people he's been charged to represent in Ottawa.
"The focus is really to continue to be active in the community. To be a very active local representative and to make sure we keep on track in terms of job creation and trying to hold taxes low," said the corporate lawyer and former Canadian Forces helicopter navigator.
His first priority of protecting and attracting jobs to the riding was mentioned in his victory speech on Nov. 26. He also stressed the need to keep taxes low and said the government is working to make sure the pressure on families and seniors is kept down while the economy recovers.
This was Mr. O'Toole's first time running for office, although he's been involved with a number of campaigns, especially helping his father, long-serving Durham MPP John O'Toole, the provincial representative for Clarington, Scugog and Uxbridge.
"I, of course, have to thank my father, John, who has been an inspiration to me. I would say nobody typifies a true public servant more than John O'Toole ... He would always say to me 'You don't know the highs and lows until your name's on the sign'," said Mr. O'Toole.
On election night, John O'Toole said he was proud of his son, saying he worked hard and ran a positive campaign. He said he hopes his son has learned his motto that everyone has responsibilities, rights and deserves respect.
"I'm so happy for him and I hope he's ready for it," said the elder Mr. O'Toole, who offered advice. "The proper sequence is family first. And you're elected by your constituents, not Ottawa."
Erin O'Toole and his wife Rebecca live in Courtice and have two young children. For good luck on election night, Mr. O'Toole was carrying in his suit pocket a picture drawn by his six-year-old daughter, Mollie. Mollie was allowed to stay up past her bedtime to attend the celebration party. She admitted she was "a little" tired.
"I think it's really good," said Mollie of her father's win.
She said she's never been to Ottawa.
"I've always been wanting to go to it, though."
Mr. O'Toole won 50 per cent of the votes cast on election day.
He was reluctant to say he was expecting to win, but said he was optimistic because of the hard work his team put in and after talking with residents.
"I have to thank the voters of Durham for placing their trust in me," said Mr. O'Toole.
The Durham byelection was called after former Durham MP Bev Oda resigned in July, amidst controversy over her spending habits.
The big unknown factor was whether that controversy would sour Durham citizens on the Conservative party.
Mr. O'Toole said there were questions about the spending issue at the beginning of the campaign, but closer to election day it wasn't being brought up often up by residents.
"I'm pledging to everyone in Durham tonight to be an accountable, accessible, professional representative for our community," said Mr. O'Toole.

text: Children and youth are among those with the highest potential risk for emotional distress relating to a disaster. It is not uncommon for children and youth to show signs of stress months after a disaster. If left unchecked, chronic stress could develop into more serious mental and behavioral health issues that can interfere with daily life. If children and youth feel unsafe, stressed, or distracted by family issues, they are not able to focus on learning. Schools can provide positive opportunities and supports for children and youth as they deal with distress. School and community resources can be coordinated to support children and families and provide pathways to additional direct services, when needed. For guidance and information, see below.

Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH announced today that it plans to open its doors in Grand Prairie, TX, on Friday, August 17 at the new Paragon Outlets. The 27,548 sq ft store will be the ninth Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH location in Texas, and is one of the first stores to debut at Paragon Outlets, which opened this month in Grand Prairie.
"We are thrilled to open Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH's ninth location in Texas at the Paragon Outlets," noted Robert Wallstrom, President of Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH. "We look forward to bringing the Grand Prairie community top designer merchandise at great prices."
The store will be modeled in Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH's innovative 'luxury in a loft' store design, a novel layout that has been well received and set a new standard in outlet shopping. This design maximizes efficiency and flexibility, enabling easy changes in the general layout. The store will be bright, uncluttered, with no hard aisles and one consistent hard-surface floor throughout. All fixtures will be on casters, ensuring ease in movement, and all hardware will be interchangeable between fixtures.
A distinctive assortment of brands will be available at outlet prices in the new store, including women's and men's apparel, fine jewelry, and children's collections. Women will find merchandise from top designer brands, including St. John, Escada, Donna Karan, Etro, Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, and Armani, as well as contemporary options in line with fall's most sought-after trends, like jewel-tones, printed denim, and woven tops, and gorgeous leather, wool, and down topcoats. Jewelry options will include gold, diamond, pearl, and colored pieces from Roberto Coin, John Hardy, Judith Ripka, Lagos, Stephen Webster, Stephen Dweck, Ippolita, Tara Pearls, Nava Zahavi, Michael Kors, Heather Benjami, and Anzie. For men and women, OFF 5TH's premier private labels BLACK Saks Fifth Avenue and GRAY Saks Fifth Avenue, and its Cashmere collection will also be available.

"I love these cards! I can't wait to send them out. The color (black and white) are crisp and bold, my only complaint is I wish the paper quality was a little thicker."
"Tiny Prints was easy to navigate as a web site. I was able to design my card easily and save it while I was away from my computer. Once I'd completed the design it was easy to order and the product was at my home even before the date they promised delivery. I wil definitely use Tiny Prints again. Thanks!"
"To those with discriminating taste or the love of an outstanding quality rich paper product, this is the product to purchase. The postcard comes as a rich matte black. Very impressive! I have purchased many items from Tiny Prints and never once been disappointed. Upon receiving this postcard, I realized why I shop here – I know that I am getting THE best! And as self-appointed royalty, wouldn't I know?"
"Easy to personalize, great colors, and was extremely satisfied with the overall look of the card. I was able to write a cute note to friends and family and still had room to put our new contact information. Family thought it was practical and "just darling"."
"This was a great card for announcing our new address to friends and family. We were able to customize it perfectly to fit our needs and with the information we wanted. Next time I order cards, I may consider getting envelopes to put the cards in as a few of the cards did not arrive in tact to a couple of our recipients."

Paros, GreeceBring the heat: There's just something about the Greek Islands that encourages exuberant behavior. This outcropping of sand and craggy rocks in the Cyclades, 13 miles long and 10 wide, is giving Mykonos a run for its ouzo-fueled reputation, and attracts a heady mix of sun-loving Europeans and on-the-make locals.
Select sand: Kolymbithres Beach, pictured, is dominated by curiously shaped rocks rising out of the aquamarine Aegean. Perhaps they were shaped by centuries of gentle windsor maybe it's the friction from all the scantily clad bodies sunbathing on top of them.
Hookup potential: Extraordinary. Even the locals act like they're on vacation, and the very late nights in the town of Naousa usually segue directly to naps on the beach. The shedding of clothes can occur at any point on this continuum.
Privacy rating: Not applicable. Everybody's topless anyway.
Pillow talk: Since you'll be spending the day sleeping at Kolymbithres and the nights in Naousa, stay at Astir of Paros. This 57 room hotel is built in traditional style and sits in tropical gardens on Kolymbithres, a five-minute drive to town. And if you're in a hurry to arrive on Paros from the mainland, take advantage of its private helicopter pad.

The fountain of questionable activities engaged in by the administration just keeps pouring forth with a seemingly unending flow.
The latest outrage is the arrogant performance of an IRS director responsible for overseeing the tax-exempt organizations division. Lois Lerner, the director of the division responsible for reviewing applications from organizations seeking a tax-exempt status, thumbed her nose at the House Oversight Committee and, by extension, the American people.
The very people who sent in their hard earned, confiscatory tax payments to pay her hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, including bonuses for "good work." Good work included holding up the applications of hundreds of conservative organizations for extended periods of time and requiring them to answer outrageous questionnaires.
It is the same Ms. Lerner who answered a planted question at a press briefing where she admitted to the mishandling of the applications. She brazenly protested her innocence, stating she had done nothing wrong, but then refused to answer any question that the committee members might ask her.
This is particularly troubling from a few viewpoints as the IRS is the most feared agency of the federal government.
For the government to use its awesome power to deny the lawful requests of organizations and, in addition, to ask the most intrusive and intimidating questions smacks at totalitarian-government actions acting completely outside the constitutionally mandated checks and balances.
Remember the admonition of Jefferson "that when the government fears the people, there is liberty, but when the people fear the government, there is tyranny." We are experiencing the latter with the revelations about the IRS and the actions of the government relating to the AP and Fox reporter James Rosen, who the AG cited as a flight risk and co-conspirator in a "leaks" investigation.
However, there was no such action when The New York Times printed leaks and other leaks, attributed to inside the White House, which made the president look good. This is a very selective use of government power that should be disturbing to all Americans, regardless of party affiliation. Back to Ms. Lerner, who has now been placed on administrative leave with full pay.
In my opinion, she should be terminated because she has violated the public trust and the standards required of public employees. The House committee should call her back to testify and let her proclaim before the American people her refusal to answer questions over and over again and in that way convince the public she has done no wrong.
This administration has failed miserably to live up to the standards the president himself stated that his would be the most transparent administration ever - the problem is he didn't mean it!

CommonWealth REIT Reacts To Recent Announcement By Related/Corvex
CommonWealth REIT (NYSE:CWH) responded to the announcement that Sam Zell and David Helfand have been enlisted by Related Fund Management LLC and Corvex Management LP ("Related/Corvex"). Adam Portnoy, President and Managing Trustee of CWH, said:
"The announcement by Related/Corvex that Mr. Zell may serve as Chairman and Mr. Helfand may serve as CEO of CWH is an obvious attempt to divert shareholder attention from Related's abysmal historical track record of operating public real estate companies. I am surprised that Mr. Zell and Mr. Helfand have joined the efforts by Related/Corvex in their pursuit of full control of CWH without first approaching CWH to fully understand the Company's business plan and the Board's commitment to governance enhancements. The track record of Related's principals when they have controlled publicly owned real estate companies is certainly not in keeping with the public company governance principles that Mr. Zell has espoused. I also hope that Messrs. Zell and Helfand will be more transparent than Related/Corvex have been to date about agreements and understandings that may affect CWH, including those concerning possible future compensation from CWH and their reported option agreement to purchase $90 million of CWH common shares from Related/Corvex."
"Although Corvex/Related have identified a handpicked slate of Trustees that will implement their plan to take control of CWH without paying other shareholders a premium, CWH shareholders should be aware that there is not a Trustee election taking place at this time. Related/Corvex are acting as though they can disregard the processes intended to ensure that all CWH shareholders have a voice."
CommonWealth REIT is a real estate investment trust that primarily owns office properties in central business district locations throughout the U.S. CWH is headquartered in Newton, MA.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONSENT SOLICITATION CWH, its Trustees and certain of its executive officers, and Reit Management & Research LLC and certain of its directors, officers and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of consent revocations from shareholders in connection with the solicitation being conducted by Related/Corvex. On January 29, 2014, CWH filed a definitive consent revocation statement with the SEC in response to the Related/Corvex solicitation and has mailed the definitive consent revocation statement and form of WHITE consent revocation card to each shareholder. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE CONSENT REVOCATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SEC, AND ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT CWH MAY FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Additional information regarding the identity of the potential participants and their direct or indirect interests, by share holdings or otherwise, is set forth in the definitive consent revocation statement filed by CWH with the SEC in connection with the solicitation of revocations of consents.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
