HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwire - Nov. 26, 2012) - Caza Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Caza" or the "Company") (TSX:CAZ) (AIM:CAZA) is pleased to announce today that it has entered into a £6 million Standby Equity Distribution Agreement ("SEDA") and a US$12 million SEDA-backed Loan Agreement with YA Global Master SPV Ltd., an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP ("Yorkville"). These facilities will provide Caza flexibility for future capital funding and meeting the costs of continued drilling of the Bone Spring play in New Mexico.
Caza received an initial draw-down of US$2.2 million on the Loan Agreement and may draw a second advance of US$1.8 million at its discretion. Additional draw-downs may be made with the mutual agreement of the parties. Loan repayment is supported by the SEDA facility, allowing Caza the option to issue equity at a 5% discount to market to fund any loan repayment as well as any balance of well costs.
W. Michael Ford, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"We are pleased to enter into the SEDA and Loan agreements. These facilities provide the Company with flexible funding options, which currently are a cost effective arrangement for obtaining capital to develop the Company's assets, including our inventory of Bone Spring properties. We believe this arrangement is an efficient way to meet our short-term capital requirements and provide an opportunity to capitalize on drilling opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value."
The loan bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum and may be prepaid without penalty. The initial draw-down and the second draw-down are repayable in monthly instalments over a period of one year from the date of advance, with repayments weighted towards the end of each term. In connection with each draw-down, Yorkville is entitled to receive an 8% implementation fee and a specified number of Common Share purchase warrants. The warrants have a term of three years and entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of 125% of the market price calculated in accordance with the Loan Agreement. In connection with the initial draw-down Caza issued to Yorkville 1,055,224 warrants having an exercise price of US$0.33.
The SEDA facility provides for Yorkville to subscribe for up to £6 million of Common Shares over a term of three years. The timing and amount of advances are at Caza's discretion. Subject to any minimum price specified by Caza in advance, shares sold under the SEDA are priced at 95% of the prevailing market price on the AIM calculated in accordance with the SEDA during a 10-day pricing period, which may be extended by mutual agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, each advance may not exceed £1 million, 400% of the average daily value traded of Caza's Common Shares on AIM for the five trading days immediately prior to date of an advance request or result in Yorkville holding more than 2.99% of Caza's outstanding Common Shares
About Caza

Vintage Dessert Ads
These Vintage Ad Ladies Have a Sweet Tooth
These Vintage Ad Ladies Have a Sweet Tooth
Say goodbye to Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Donettes, and Zingers! The company that brought us all these sugary treats and more, Hostess, is closing. After 82 years, the former largest wholesale baker in the US (and owner of Wonder Bread), has decided to fire more than 18,000 workers and liquidate assets after a nationwide strike put the defunct company over the edge.
In honor of the sad news, we're taking a look back to the good ol' days of the packaged desserts with these vintage ads for Hostess and other sweets like cake, pie, candy, and chocolate. Of course, there are some sexist ads included, as the '50s and '60s were still the glamourized housewife eras, and there's that pesky chocolate and women stereotype (chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, ack!). But let's reminisce about the sugar-filled days before Weight Watchers, thinspiration, and anorexic Disney characters. So get your fork and frosting out and dive into these vintage dessert ads!

These prosciutto-parmesan puffs, or gougeres, are whipped up with eggs, ham, cheese, and plenty of thyme and rosemary.
I knew I was different when I was seven years old. While all the other kids in the neighborhood were playing in the Jennings' backyard, sniggering at stolen copies of Playboy and knocking back enough Pez, Twizzlers, and s'mores to make our dentist start shopping for a new '67 Acapulco blue Mustang, I was hiding out in our kitchen.
"Don't hang from the oven handle," Momma Leite would yell, thwacking me on the back of the head with her constant companion, a wet dish rag. "And don't open the door until they're done."
Inside were four Pepperidge Farm apple turnovers. One for her, one for my dad, and two for me. It was the occasional dessert she deigned to serve when I would purposely convulse at the grocery or pronounce in front of company that I was adopted and that my real family lived in a mansion by the sea.
I stood vigil, forehead pressed against the splattered oven window because I desperately wanted to watch the puffery in action. Too many times I'd grown impatient or distracted and stepped away from four flat, pallid triangles only to return to a quartet of buxom beauties, just a hint of their lovely juices seeping through the frills of their ruffles. But that afternoon, I was determined to study every tiny transition in this alchemy. I watched how the sealed edges were the first to blossom and split into a million layers. As the turnovers began to brown, I watched, spellbound, while they bubbled and heaved as though they were coming alive, becoming bigger and firmer until they'd risen, fully engorged! What can I say? While the Freeborns and Jennings ogled what Lynn Winchell, Miss December 1967, had to offer, I was becoming addicted to a very different kind of porn—one that conveniently required no confession with Father Fraga at St. John of God on Saturday afternoons.
Looking back, my life has been punctuated by puffs. Turnovers, vol-au-vent, profiteroles, éclairs. By the time I was 25, I was a waiter at the Hors d'Oeuvrerie at Windows on the World, and had fallen in love with all kinds of international desserts. But the puffers remained my favorite. I'd given up my childish ways—and Pepperidge Farm—in favor of the more adult pleasures of the queen of all pastry doughs, pâte á choux.
I wasn't alone in this fixation. Every so often the seemingly misanthropic Alan Lewis, the general manager of Windows, would come in for lunch. He was the right hand man to the explosively temperamental Joseph Baum, one of the famed restaurateurs responsible for the Four Seasons, the Rainbow Room, and Windows. Lewis would sit by himself and read his paper, every so often lifting his head, watching, and waiting to spot something out of place. Although only in his mid-60s, he reminded me of Winston Churchill's bulldog in its later years. All the waiters hated to wait on him.
The first time I took his order, I climbed the stairs terrified—not unlike how Dorothy & Co. approached the Great and Powerful Oz. He mumbled his order into his newspaper, never looking up, which suited me just fine. A few minutes later, I slid a plate in front of him and he paused.
Shit, I thought. I did something wrong. Demerits or a tongue lashing or extra breakfast shifts were sure to be mine.
"You're new." How could he have possible gleaned that from my hand putting down a plate in front of him?
He glanced up.
"Yes, sir."
What's your name?"
Then he returned his formidable gaze to his newspaper.
After that, he asked for me by name. (To this day I have no idea why. I know for a fact that he preferred his eye candy to be of the feminine persuasion.)
"So what do you do besides this?" he asked me one day, sweeping his hand across the room. Knowing he was famous for trick questions, tripping up unsuspecting staff by revealing their less-than-fanatical devotion to the industry and idolization of the kitchen, I smartly sidelined acting and blurted out "baking" out of a primitive sense of self-preservation. He seemed to like that.
"What do you bake?" he asked as he looked up with an arched eyebrow that clearly telegraphed, Don't disappoint me.
"Um, well," I stalled, mentally flipping through the sticky pages of my only cookbook at the time—a bargain tome with recipes from around the world that weighed as much as a VW Bug. "Éclairs and gougeres. Oh, and Paris's Breast," I added with just a hint of smugness. I knew the plump, cream-filled pastry ring, which symbolized the five-lane avenue that circled the city's great big nipple of the Arc de Triomphe, would impress him. Even if I'd never seen one before in my life.
"A paree bress?" he said, both correcting me and expressing considerable doubt. "Bring me something."
Because Lewis's descent on the Hors d'Oeuvrerie was capricious, to say the least, the chances of his arrival overlapping my work schedule were slim. Still, I carted a homemade chocolate éclair in a brown paper sack on the subway from South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, to the 107th floor of the north tower almost every day for more than a month, as cautiously as if I were transporting the Shroud of Turin. That meant every morning I had to bake said éclair, make said pastry cream, plop the cream into a plastic zip-top bag (lest the filled pastry lose its crispness), and be prepared at a moment's notice to procure said glorious éclair. But as much as I groused to my roommate, Darrin, and much as I loathed lugging bags of groceries to our kitchen that was once a 19th-century walk-in closet, I secretly loved it. I loved boiling water and butter, dumping in flour, mixing until my arm ached, cracking in eggs, stirring until the batter shone, and scooping perfect little domes with my ice cream scoop.
When Lewis's and my orbits finally realigned—by which point I'd gotten extremely adept at baking pâte á choux—I presented him with my éclair (with just a whiff of self-importance).
"Here's one of the pastries I was telling you about," I said, sliding the plate in front of him. He looked confused. "You know, the one, the pastry I told you I make."
He took a bite and grunted.
That was it. A grunt. A single frigging grunt. After all that frigging work. Crestfallen, and, frankly, not a little pissed off that this man had me dancing on a tight wire for more than a month, I wheeled around and walked away. When I returned to clear his table, though, I noticed the éclair was gone. High praise, if you ask me. You could feed a small country with what he usually left on his plate.
Not long after, I quit and headed for the loftiest of culinary heights, albeit all the way down on the first floor of the Drake Hotel, at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's first U.S. venture, Restaurant Lafayette. I was one of his two first front waiters. There it seemed everything was puffed—the tender vol-au-vent, the majestic oeuf au caviar, the damask draperies, to say nothing of the egos of most of the customers. But it was the gougeres that most delighted me.
Until Jean-Georges V., my exposure to the world of puffsters was, almost without exception, sweet. I adored all manner of creams—pastry, whipped, and flavored—nestled within a crunchy pastry bite. But at Restaurant Lafayette, savory gougeres flew out of the kitchen faster than ping pong balls at a Forrest Gump match.
What I adored about these orbs of godliness was how light and airy they were and how the cheese—usually Gruyère—infused the puff with its nutty umami flavor. All I wanted to do was stuff them in my mouth chipmunk-style and eat, and eat, and eat. I had found my puff of preference.
Shortly before we opened to the public, Jean-Georges V sat all the waitstaff at a long table in the dining room for a private tasting session.
"Zis is the only time I want to zee you eating my food in za dining room unless you are a paying guest," he said in his devastatingly charming Alsatian accent. "You take one bite of food while working, and you are—" and with that he drew his index finger across his entirely too thin neck.
It was my one chance to eat as much as I wanted and I wasn't about to squander it. As he described each dish in the precise way he wanted us to present it to guests, I polished off a silver bowl of gougeres by myself. One of the French waiters who'd been imported from Paris to make our very American waitstaff appear more international shot me a look so dripping with derision it practically slid down the slope of his sizeable nose and arced across the table.
"Quoi?" I said sotto voce, daring him to test what he considered to be our American thuggish ways. He deflated back into the chair, a peacock without plumage.
The restaurant opened a few days later—without any international skirmishes—to four stars from Bryan Miller, the then-restaurant critic for The New York Times. Near the bottom of his
fullsome effusive review, he wrote, "The crepuscular lighting sometimes makes it difficult to read the menu. When a waiter saw us straining, he came by and gave us tiny flashlights, the kind children twirl at the circus." (That waiter was me!) Sadly, I couldn't afford the $75 tasting menu, $160 in today's coinage, so I never enjoyed the restaurant—or its marvelous gougeres—as a guest.
Not long after, I trashed my bargain basement cookbook and splurged on a copy of Larousse Gastronomique. While searching for a gougeres recipe to commit to memory, I stumbled upon the entry for Paris's Breast—its great mammary commemoration to itself. Due to what I'm convinced is an undiagnosed case of dyslexia, I was shocked to discover that the circular pastry had been created to honor the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race—its shape suggesting a wheel. Not a breast or nipple in sight. It made more sense, sure, but I liked the idea that it was kind of an edible Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. What can I say? Once a pornographer, always a pornographer.
Prosciutto-Parmesan Puffs Recipe
I believe that of all the puffs, the savory gougère is the pinnacle of puffery perfection. The reason is the puff pastry used for profiteroles, cream puffs, and even the Everest-like croquembouche is, at the core of its being, no more than a vehicle for the filling. It's what you have to get through to get the Cracker Jack prize of pastry cream, ganache, caramel, you name it. But the gougère, well, the gougère is the prize. It's an edible version of a Chinese takeout food container. And as if its inherent cheese-iness isn't enough, you can fill the gougère with meats and cheese and greens to make mini puff sandwiches. In this version, I went one better by adding prosciutto, Parmigiano-Reggiano, thyme, and rosemary to the batter so that every bite explodes with flavor. (Okay, perhaps I'm a bit hyperbolic, but these are indeed not your ordinary savory gougeres.) It's a swell bite to pair with Champagne or, our favorite, Prosecco. Think New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, parties, showers….–David Leite
LC Full Of Hot Air Note
Classic gougeres are filled with marvelous pockets of hot air when they come out of the oven, a result of the beaten eggs rising to their full glory. These puffs are a little different. Their air pockets are smaller, and the puff is a wee bit denser. That's due to all that cheese and prosciutto. I wouldn't have it any other way, and considering the fact that four guests polished off an entire batch before dinner, I'd say they wouldn't, either. You can cut back on the prosciutto, if you wish. Mais pourquoi?
Prosciutto-Parmesan Puffs
- Quick Glance
- Makes about 30 puffs
- 1 cup cold water
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
- 1 cup (4.5 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
- Pinch kosher salt
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced and finely chopped
- 4 ounces (1 1/4 cups) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (Don't even think of using the cheap stuff on sale. It makes a huge difference.)
- 2 teaspoons rosemary leaves, minced
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1. Position racks in the top third and bottom third positions of the oven and crank up the heat to 425°F (218°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking sheets.
- 2. Bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- 3. Dump the flour into the boiling butter mixture all at once and, using a wooden spoon and good old elbow grease, mix until the flour clumps into a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Continue stirring over medium-high heat until the dough leaves an even, dry film on the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. (Don't you dare skimp on this step.)
- 4. Drop the dough into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed until the dough is just barely warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
- 5. Plop in an egg, increase the speed to medium, and beat until incorporated. The dough may look hopelessly soupy and broken at first, but fear not and continue mixing until the blob turns smooth and slick. Repeat with the rest of the eggs, adding them 1 at a time. Using a spoon, stir in the prosciutto, cheese, rosemary, thyme, and pepper.
- 6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough, or use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to make plump mounds, on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Have a glass of cold water handy and dip the spoon in it every so often to help make the dough easier to scoop.
- 7. Bake the puffs until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, reversing and rotating the sheets once halfway through baking.
- 8. Transfer the sheets to a wire rack to cool slightly. Then whip off your apron, pop as many puffs as can fit into your mouth, place the rest of the puffs on a platter, and offer them to your guests post haste. (You can bake these up to 2 hours in advance, then reheat them in a 350°F [176°C] oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Or freeze a batch of baked, cooled puffs for up to a month and, just before guests arrive, pop the frozen puffs into a 350°F [176°C] oven for 10 to 12 minutes.)
Recipe Testers Reviews
These are freakin' fantastic. I made them too late at night after a frustrating day at work, so I brought most of the batch to the office the next day, warmed them up, and fed them to the natives. They loved them even though they'd been sitting overnight. In fact, most people flocked to them. I used a #40 disher (that's the one that yields a generous tablespoon) to scoop the dough. Spray it lightly with cooking spray and the puffs will fall right out.
This recipe is perfect for that irresistible, one-bite morsel of goodness and delectability that we're all looking for on the cocktail buffet. It's the perfect bite that includes cheesy, salty, savory, and herbal goodness. It's the Rocky Mountain High of Poufs, the Sultan of Savory Puffs! I can see it pairing well with a great single-malt Scotch, a nice, cool Chardonnay, a good, hearty Cabernet, and an icy Abita Turbodog. Yes, all of them! And I have to admit, I did sneak one right out of the oven with a diet Coke (decaf, of course).
These puffs are puffy and chewy, cheesy and salty, and perfect coming right out of the oven. They're great to serve before dinner to friends, but I recommend making two batches for a party. You'll want to check the taste of one as they start cooling, then you'll find yourself popping "just one more" in your mouth. They're almost too easy to eat. But make the two batches of dough separately, instead of just doubling everything in one pan. One of these times I swear I'll serve them with something, instead of just eating them while standing at the counter.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The AstroTwinsAstrologers & Best-Selling Authors
Dubbed the "astrologers to the stars," identical twin sisters Ophira and Tali Edut, known as the AstroTwins, are professional astrologers who reach millions worldwide through their spot-on predictions.
Through their website, Astrostyle, Ophira and Tali help "bring the stars down to earth" with their unique, lifestyle-based approach to astrology. They are also the official astrologers for ELLE, Elle Magazine, mindbodygreen, and The New Potato. The AstroTwins have been featured in the UK Sunday Times, the New York Times Sunday Styles section, People Magazine, Domino, InStyle, Architecture Daily, Business Insider and much more media globally. The AstroTwins have collaborated with major brands including Vogue, Nordstrom, Revlon, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Ted Baker, Kate Spade and Calypso St. Barth, 20th Century Fox, among others. The sisters have read charts for celebrities including Beyoncé, Emma Roberts, Stevie Wonder, Jessica Simpson, and Sting. They are regular guests on SiriusXM and have appeared on Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
They have authored four print books: AstroStyle, Love Zodiac, Shoestrology, and Momstrology (their #1 Amazon best-selling astrological parenting guide) and a growing collection of ebooks, including their popular annual horoscope guides (now available in print).
What is your wellness philosophy?
Wellness is an inside-out job. As we heal ourselves, we reconnect to our power source within. It's symbiotic: the more aligned you become with yourself through self-love, self-acceptance and self-discovery, the more light you have to share with the world. People all want to be honored, respected and seen as individuals, which is why astrology has always been so popular. It allows you to own and celebrate your quirks, without being judged for having them. Weirdly, it's a safe space to be yourself and to belong—basic human psychological desires. We need more of those in the world, clearly.
What brought you into wellness?
When we first started writing for MBG in 2013, astrology wasn't really considered part of the wellness world. Mind, body and spirit were still seen as separate categories. But over the past couple years, the wellness movement has really expanded to include self-awareness tools like astrology. As technology use grows, people long to be connected to nature, to live in sync with the cycles of the moon, to unplug. It's all overlapped into one big metaphysical melting pot now, which is great! There are more choices than ever now, so people can design their own wellness practice with this big buffet of options that unite inner and outer wellbeing.
What does You. We. All. mean to you?
We hear it as a challenge to the world, and to ourselves, to find the sweet spot between diversity and divisiveness. How can we be unique, but not polarized? How can we advocate for equality and humanity, even if we find another person's politics odious? It's a daily struggle, especially in the current climate. Sometimes, it means stopping ourselves mid-rant, stepping away from the newsfeed and doing the painful work of asking: How am "I" also "you"? And how am I NOT you at the same time? Where does our "we" begin and end? What do we both want here at a fundamental level? How might you be a mirror or a messenger for something that "I" or "all of us" need to examine and change? This isn't easy work. In the era of the #MeToo movement, as an example, it's particularly hard. How can we have compassion for the soul of a person who's harmed so many innocent people, while still holding them accountable and healing the victims of their crime? How can we reconcile the many years that we may have viewed this man as a heartwarming and beloved cultural icon, an artist or a champion of something we care about? That brings us to the ALL level. How can we change the ALL: the institutions, education, deeply entrenched and systems that allow these UNWELL things to carry on and seep into the culture?
What's your favorite ritual?
Ophira: One would think that astrologers' lives are filled with rituals: crystals, sage, feathers, all of that. But my favorite ritual is actually waking up early, drinking a strong cup of coffee, and letting the creativity flow. Sometimes I'll pull a card from one of my many divination decks to give me a focal point for the day. I love a good hunk of crystal, don't get me wrong. But for me, the ritual is getting into the zone where ideas, inspiration and messages start to flow. Tali: I may be the more crystallized AstroTwin. I have a meditation room set up in my home, which my husband and I call the Moon Room. It's decorated like a beautiful bohemian tent and has my altar, where I go meditate, journal, have amazing conversations with friends and sometimes write horoscopes. My husband and one of my best friends set it up for me while I was traveling and surprised me with it. When I go in there, it's like a total reset.

Occupy Wall Street on the Waterfront
On Monday, activists with the Occupy movement attempted a shutdown of several ports along the West Coast—from San Diego to Anchorage, Alaska. The protests targeted what the activists called "Wall Street on the waterfront," particularly the corporation Goldman Sachs, which owns more than half of the largest U.S.-owned cargo container-terminal operator, and the grain export company EGT, which has been involved in labor disputes with longshore workers.
The protests succeeded in disrupting port activity in Oakland, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Longview, Wash. In Longview, the union sent workers home citing safety concerns, triggering a clause in their contract that allowed them to be paid for four hours of work. The action faced some criticism from unions and workers, and some union leaders refused to back the protests. "Ironically the union does support the overarching goals of the Occupy movement, even though we don't endorse this particular action today," Jennifer Sargent of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union told The Oregonian.
An unofficial public statement issued online by a group of union members and port workers stopped short of expressing support for the demonstrations: "Thank you '99 Percenters' for hearing our call for justice. We are humbled and overwhelmed by recent attention. Normally we are invisible ... It may be tempting for media to ask questions about whether we support a shutdown, but there are no easy answers." Occupy sources say some local ILWU groups agreed not to cross their picket lines.
YES! Magazine spoke with several protesters at the Port of Seattle—including a retired machinists' union member, a political consultant, a youth organizer, and a women's rights activist (see video above). Several hundred activists shut down entrances to two terminals. Many truck drivers honked in support as they exited the port. At about 5 p.m., police responded to one of the terminal blockades by corralling protesters with horses and bicycles, using pepper spray on them, and firing "flash-bang" percussion grenades into the crowd. Startled, angry protesters threw a cardboard sign, paint, and flares, and police arrested several people, including a Methodist minister. The clash forced protesters to move from the street and allow workers entry to the port.
Why the attempt to take on foreclosures directly is our clearest glimpse yet of what Occupy Phase II will look like.
Introducing the movement that's shifting our vision of what kind of world is possible—from the new book, "This Changes Everything: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement."

Social Media Guidelines for Food Truck Owners
Food truck owners have discovered that using social media sites, like Twitter and Facebook, to spread the word to their customers is an inexpensive and effective way to advertise and to keep people interested and informed about their business. To maximize the usefulness of social media for your food truck, keep the following tips in mind:
Fill in your bio so people searching for food trucks in your area can find you.
Act the same on social media sites as you would in person. (In other words, use the same tone online as you would if you were speaking with these individuals face to face. Don't be someone you aren't, because a good chance exists that you'll meet your local followers when they visit your truck.)
Listen to what your followers are saying, and then respond to both good and bad comments to increase your customer interaction.
Update your status at least once a day with information that doesn't include your truck location to allow your followers to get to know you better.
If you're tweeting or posting your schedule on Twitter or Facebook, also tweet or update your status after you get to each location.
Post last-minute schedule changes, especially if you're packing up early.

Vreede, Adolf de (17th century)
Adolf de Vreede in 1660 presented three petitions to Bern, Switzerland, in behalf of the Bernese Mennonites, drawn up respectively by the Dutch States General and the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. De Vreede, who arrived at Bern on 11 June was permitted to converse with the Swiss Brethren who were in prison. This conversation, held in the presence of the Bernese Oberschultheis, had little success; the Swiss Mennonites were stubborn and perhaps somewhat embarrassed by the worldly figure of Vreede and the annoying presence of the Bernese official. They accused the Dutch Mennonites of worldliness and refused to consider the Dutch proposal to leave Switzerland and settle in the Netherlands. Nevertheless as a result of this visit a small number of the Swiss Brethren soon moved to the Netherlands. Concerning de Vreede there is no further information. He is said to have been a Mennonite, but he could not be identified as such.

Nike LunarFly+ 3 Trail "Sport Turquoise"
Perhaps the most overlooked and underrated of Nike Running's performance-oriented LunarLon runners, the third edition of the LunarFly series seeks to amplify its reputation. The new Nike LunarFly+ 3 Trail colorways are particularly engaging, their addition of an almost Agassi-like lava specking along the exoskeletal layer adding tremendous depth to color combinations like this neon-accented Sport Turquoise makeup.

Fire Pit Explosion Kills Fayetteville Man, Injuries Four Others
8:55 PM, Sep 15, 2013 | 0 comments
Fayetteville, NC -- Police say a Fayetteville man died Saturday after an explosion in his front yard, according to WRAL.
Authorities say a group was standing around a fire pit at a home on St. Louis Street around 8:30 p.m. when something caused the explosion. Investigators say it appeared to be an accident.
Martin Antoine Blossom, 28, died in the explosion, which happened in his front yard.
WRAL reports two men, a woman and a girl were hurt in the fire, but their injuries were not life-threatening. Each is getting treatment at Cape Fear Valley Hospital.
Fayetteville police said Sunday the deceased is 28-year-old Martin Antoine Blossom, who lived at the home where the explosion happened.
A 14-year-old is among the three others who were treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life threatening.
Police say the cause of the explosion hasn't been determined, but the preliminary investigation has not shown any signs of foul play and the blast was believed to be accidental.
The explosion happened as several people were standing around a fire pit in the front yard Saturday evening.

OK, this year we feel it is the time to make "big" changes in ATK. The world was different when the first version of ATK is designed: not so many toolkits needed to be considered. Now we have Gtk+, Gecko, WebKit, Clutter and even Qt. It is normal that two or more toolkits are co-existed in one application. Plus, we are using D-Bus as IPC, this makes the information which is transferred between processes more "precious" because D-Bus is somewhat slower than CORBA. So, let's get together and discuss about it. It's good to have people who work on many different toolkits, this make it possible for us to discuss the differences between the toolkits and get to conclusions (interfaces definition in ATK) which can make our life easier.
Thanks to API and Mario and other people from Igalia's great organization work. Great place to have meeting, great lunch everyday, great dinner, and great city tour!
People filed bugs if they have something to propose on the hackfest. So basically, we went through all the bugs one by one during the hackfest. Here is the meta bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638537. Many proposals fall into 3 categories: to make Orca get more clear and uniform information; to make at-spi2 transfer less information on D-Bus; to make ATK support multi-toolkits better. After 5 days discussion, we have conclusions on most of the proposals: http://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/ATK2011/Agenda. I think Joanie got many things she want :-), like tree row, and eliminating duplicated signals. Someway to reduce the round trip calls on D-Bus are considered. Also, AtkUtil needs to be modified to fit multi-toolkits environment. A simple way to fix the performance problem for gailtreeview jumped into my head, I still need to verify it. In summary, it is a successful meeting, many conclusions and some new ideas popped up. But the most important thing is: someone need to implement them in the future.
After the discussion, people put their name after the proposals if they want to work on them. I truly hope we can archive these proposals asap.

The work surface measures 34-1/4" long by 14-1/4" wide (excluding vises), and has paired rows of 3/4" diameter dog holes in line with the vises. The 14-1/4" wide face and end vises have 4-3/4" of clamping capacity and double guide rods to minimize racking. The bench stands 33-3/4" tall, but easily converts to 25-1/4" tall using the shorter trestle leg sections (supplied), for use by children or those who prefer to work in a seated position.
Weighs just under 50 lb. Comes with four steel-reinforced plastic bench dogs; the double-ended design allows them to be inserted from the underside of the bench top for low-profile clamping of thin materials. A particleboard shelf set into the trestle provides convenient under-bench storage. Scaled down in size, but not in function.

After 16 years of exclusivity between the US Army and Colt the unimaginable has happened: the Army has put in an order for 24,000 M4 carbines with none other than Remington.
Details are still thin but we do know this. GearScout of the Military Times reports that the contract is for an Infinite Delivery, Infinite Quantity (IDIQ) of rifles valued up to $180 million. The price tag on the 24,000 M4s is $16.2 million, or $673.47 per rifle. (Think about that the next time you see a price premium on a "mil-spec" AR.) The Army plans on buying as many as 120,000 rifles but is leaving the contract open as long as they stay within their budget.
What isn't known is if the Army is now dealing exclusively with Remington for their M4s or if there is going to be a more open and competitive market for these rifles. And are things over between the Army and Colt?
This may have been some time in the coming and would shed more light on why Colt has been busy in the last few months marketing their AR-pattern rifles to law enforcement and the open market, like their recent Advanced Piston Carbine and their LESOCOM, both based on designs for the military but in civilian-friendly semi-automatic.
This is also a boon for Remington which has been fighting (some would argue weakly-supported) allegations of faulty designs and a disregard for public safety from the television network NBC.
Official statements from Colt and Remington have not yet been made.

Dropbox Acquires Startups Loom, Hackpad in Push to Expand Services
Amid a push to expand its services, Dropbox Inc. has acquired a pair of startups: photo-sharing company Loom Inc. and document-sharing startup Hackpad Inc.
Dropbox has quietly been making small acquisitions since 2012 and appears to be ramping up its pace, buying two companies in 2012, four last year, and at least four so far this year.
Venture-backed Loom said it will shut down its service and roll it into Dropbox's recently released cloud-based storage service Carousel. The San Francisco-based company said existing users have until May 16 to export their data.
Loom launched its paid photo service in October 2013 with $1.4 million in backing from investors including Google Ventures, Chinese Internet company Tencent Holdings Ltd., Great Oaks Venture Capital, Overbrook Entertainment and individuals.
Loom was co-founded as Popset by Philipp Wein, Daniel Wagner and Jan Senderek at Y Combinator in 2012. The startup's photo service uploaded full-resolution images from mobile devices and created lower-resolution images that could be accessed from the phone or tablet, freeing up space.
San Francisco-based Hackpad will continue to operate, the company said in a blog post about the acquisition. The service enables users to collaborate and share documents.
Terms of the deals weren't disclosed by the companies.
San Francisco-based Dropbox raised $350 million earlier this year from investors including BlackRock, T. Rowe Price and Morgan Stanley Investment Management in a funding round that valued that the six-year-old startup at $10 billion.
Accel Partners, Benchmark, Goldman Sachs, Greylock Partners, Institutional Venture Partners and Sequoia Capital are also among its investors.
The company released a suite of new apps earlier this month as part of a push to offer a wider range of services than storing and sharing files.
Here's a list of previous Dropbox acquisitions, courtesy of Dow Jones VentureSource and media reports:
- Tapengage, July 2012, San Francisco-based advertising/marketing company
- Snapjoy, December 2012, Boulder, Colo.-based multimedia/streaming software company
- Orchestra, March 2013, Palo Alto, Calif.-based email/messaging company
- Endorse, July 2013, San Mateo, Calif.-based shopping facilitators company
- Terrarium, November 2013, Boston-based shopping facilitors company
- PiCloud, November 2013, San Francisco-based software development tools company
- Readmill Network, March 2014, Berlin-based e-reading app company
- Zulip, March 2014, Cambridge, Mass.-based workplace chat tool (earlier reported by TechCrunch)
