Braking is overall very quiet. Please note that the areas in which the pads do not touch on the Rotors do seem rust fast. Wish the black coating covered all of the surfaces that the pads do not make contact with. Black slots would be far better than rust colored.

This is another great way to share the warmth with your lover...can be used on man or woman...great taste...stimulates the penis...glides well...not sticky like other flavored lubes. Only recommendation is that it should come in a squeeze top bottle like Climax Lube...this would make it easier to dispense! Worth the money!

Children's Health
One in 10 U.S. Kids Mentally Ill
Jan. 3, 2001 (Washington) -- One in 10 American children and teens suffers from mental illness -- and just one in five of those receives treatment, according to U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher, MD, PhD.
In a 52-page wake-up call released today, Satcher calls the situation a "public health crisis in mental health for children and adolescents."
"Growing numbers of children are suffering needlessly because their emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs are not being met by those very institutions which were explicitly created to take care of them," writes Satcher in the report, which he calls "a blueprint for change."
Specifically, the surgeon general wants to promote public awareness of children's mental health issues, reduce the stigma of these diseases, and improve the ability to recognize symptoms of mental health in children. "We need to help families understand that these problems are real, that they often can be prevented, and that effective treatments are available," he writes.
The nation's top doctor also takes a swipe at institutions charged with providing mental health services to kids. The treatment they offer should be better coordinated and integrated with other elements of the health care system, he says. Satcher also complains that wide disparities in children's mental health services exist among racial groups and the poor.
Another big problem is the stigma associated with children's mental problems, according to Satcher. David Fassler, MD, agrees. The psychiatrist is chair of the American Psychiatric Association's Council on Children, Adolescents, and Their Families and was the APA representative at a national conference last September's on children's mental health. Issues raised at that conference served as the basis for the present report.
Refusing to deal with mental illness can lead to long-term consequences, says Fassler, including poor school performance, trouble on the job, and low self-esteem. "The good news is that most of these problems are treatable. We can help all children and adolescents with psychiatric problems," Fassler tells WebMD.
Among the most common mental health issues for kids are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety disorders, conduct disorders, substance abuse, and eating disorders, says Fassler.

immediate crash to desktop on fresh install
Hi all,
Love XWA and decided to try the XWAUP. Haven't had this game installed in years. Tried to install it today and am running into problems. I install the stock version (mine is already updated to 2.02). I have done no editing, cracking, or any other modifications whatsoever...this is straight out of the box. As soon as I try to launch the game, the screen goes black for a second as the graphics rendering kicks in, and then crash to desktop. It's not even initializing the game (i.e., the CFG file only reads "lastpilot Ace Azzameen").
Things I have tried so far:
System specs:
Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT (Driver Version: 6.14.0011.8585 | 4/30/2009)
Desktop resolution 1024x768
Please help!
I've seen your post on the XWA Upgrade forums...I don't have a clue about this, but someone there might.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The priest who served as vicar general of the
Fargo Roman Catholic Diocese has reported for duty as chaplain at
the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Monsignor Brian Donahue earned a Bronze Star for his service in 2005 in Iraq with a unit of the Texas National Guard.
He was set to return to Iraq with that unit, but Army authorities decided to send him to the elite training academy in New York instead.
Donahue says he felt called to go back to Iraq and he's saddened that he won't remain with the troops he got to know well. But he says it's an honor to be assigned to West Point. He says looking out over the grounds seems like a dream.

The Application refers to the usage type of the faucet. As there are many choices of Faucets for your Bathroom or Kitchen, making your selection here will help you narrow down to the faucet you are looking for. For example, Are you looking for a Bidet Faucet, Shower Only Faucet, or perhaps a Lavatory (Bathroom Sink) Faucet.
You can choose to shop by either of the ways below. If you would only like to look at products that have 3D Images then click on the link below and all other products will be taken out of selection.
The number of bulbs on a fixture is important for both style and function. The number of bulbs can alter the amount of light given off, but so can the wattage of your bulbs. Make sure to keep any width limitations in mind while selecting your fixture.
-CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
-Fluorescent tubes are common in bath bars and come in many different styles such as the most common T4 and T5 bulbs.
-Halogen: these bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
-Incandescent or Fluorescent: We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
-Xenon/Krypton: Much like their halogen counterparts are extremely bright bulbs with long lifespans that will use a Xenon or Krypton gas inside the bulb.
There are many materials to choose from, each with their own attributes. Some of the more common materials used in Faucets and Accessories are Brass, Stainless Steel, Metal and Zinc Alloys. These offer excellent corrosion and tarnish resistance while allowing many finish options.
Others found in many fixtures such as Sinks, Tubs, and Toilets are various materials such as Vitreous China, Enameled Steel, Cast Iron, and various Acrylics. A few examples are of materials you will find on FaucetDirect:
-Brass is derived from alloys of copper and zinc in
a solid solution. In comparison to bronze which
is principally an alloy of copper and tin. Despite this
distinction, some types of brasses are called bronzes.
-Stainless Steel is one of the most hygienic surfaces and very easy to clean. The unique surface is non-porous which will not harbor dirt, grime or bacteria. Stainless Steel has a high tolerance to corrosion while offering a useful life expectancy of over 100 years!
-Vitreous China offers a long lasting, sparkling surface that resists scratches, fading, and will provide a long lasting finish.
-Enameled Steel is less expensive but very durable and easy to clean. Enameled Steel is the choice when economy is required.
-Various Acrylics are used for most specialty baths. for its forgiving nature and flexibility. The non-rusting surface also allows the inclusion of whirlpool or therapeutic jets as the material can be easily modified.
If you would like to view one specific manufacturer, please select one from the list below.
This allows you to narrow down the finish you are looking for.
This field allows you to narrow your search results by a selected price range. If you desire to view products only within a certain range you can do so.

If I have rspec test like following:
context "main context" do
before(:all) do
# code for before :all
puts "my fore :all"
describe "Scenario-1" do
context "my context 1" do
it "should blablabla" do
it "should blablabla" do
context "my context 2" do
it "should blablabla" do
it "should blablabla" do
end # end of describe "Scenario-1"
describe "Scenario-2"
context "my context 3" do
it "should blablabla" do
it "should blablabla" do
end #end of "Scenario-2"
end #end of main context
Two questions to ask:
1. Is it so that the
before(:all) declare actually get called in each sub context ? I thought it is only called once during the whole test, but when I run my test, What I experienced is that the code in
before(:all) get executed in each
context, that's it get run when each
context started, why?
(As you noticed I have "
puts" as part of my
before(:all) code, and I saw this puts in each sub-context when run the test, why? isn't
before(:all) should only be executed once during the whole test??)
2. When I run my test, Why the order of the test running is from bottom context to up context (while inside each context, the order of "it" is up-down)? How to change the test order on context level then?

Skip to comments.Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged (Who's Behind Harry Potter?)
Posted on 12/12/2001 7:47:07 PM PST by jedediah smith
click here to read article
The answer to Matriciana's questions is that Harry Potter and Scholastic have the fingerprints of the Committee of 300 all over them. The Committee of 300 is a group of wealthy European elitists (aka the Olympians) who practice witchcraft and satanism. They appear to have control of Scholastic. Combined with its monopoly in U.S. public schools, this presents the Olympians with the power to introduce and tempt vast numbers of children into dabbling in witchcraft. Scholastic International acquired the French publisher Lagardere in 2000 which makes them the largest publisher of children's books in the world (see http://www.iwon.com/home/careers/company_profile/0,15623,177,00.html). This gives Scholastic the perfect opportunity to brainwash children not just in America, but across the globe.
As of 9/30/01, 74.95% of the stock was owned by institutional investors (see http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/quotes_reports.asp?symbol=SCHL&selected=SCHL). This is interesting because at least five of the top 10 institutional holders are agents of the Committee of 300, according to Dr. John Coleman (see his book Committee of 300): JP Morgan Chase & Company, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Asset Management, Schroeder, and Barclays Bank (see http://biz.yahoo.com/hd/s/schl.html). Some of the other companies listed, such as Massachusetts Financial Services (MFS), may also be affiliated with the Olympians but are not referenced in Coleman's book.
A look into MFS, the largest institutional owner of Scholastic, is interesting. According to Arnold D. Scott of MFS, it is a subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada, which in turn is owned by Sun Life Financial Services. Sun Life Financial was founded in 1871 and entered Great Britain in 1893. Interestingly, their webpage has tranlastions in French Spanish, and both dialects of Chinese. The CEO of Sun Life is Donald Stewart, who graduated with honors in Natural Philosophy from the University of Glasgow. He then joined Sun Life in London and qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries (see http://www.bluebook.ca/index.html?id=3184). In February 2001, Sun Life changed their logo. A news report said (see google's cache of http://www.inq7.net/issues/feb2001/feb09/features/fea_2.htm):
"Making people aware that Sun Life of Canada is more than just a life insurance firm was one of the motivations behind the group's decision to change its logo and embark on an aggressive marketing campaign...From a simple logo with the letter 'S' set on a red background, Sun Life chose the symbol of the globe combined with the sun. Sun Life says it wanted a logo that would stand out...The sun was supposed to represent Sun Life's heritage--symbolizing growth, energy and integrity. The globe, on the other hand, represents the international reach and the diversity of people and products."
CEO Donald Stewart said of the change: "At the center of our identity is a symbol of a globe combined with the sun. The sun is a powerful universal symbol with a unique focus on growth, excellence and integrity. The globe symbolizes our international reach, speaks to our diversity and the value we place on partnerships."
It should come as no surprise then that the largest controlling interest in the company marketing out Harry Potter has a New Age/Wiccan type symbol for the company logo.
An examination of Scholastic's officials is most revealing. The following Scholastic officers have worked for companies and/or organizations which are listed in Coleman's book as being controlled by the Olympians (see http://yahoo.marketguide.com/mgi/biograph.asp?rt=biograph&rn=A0344). Director Ramon C. Cortines was at Stanford University and is a Trustee of the J. Paul Getty trust. Interestingly, in 1992 he was chairman of a Dept. of Education transition team for President-elect Clinton. Director Jack Davies is an advisor at AOL (not listed in Coleman but the NWO agenda of AOL is well-known), was VP of RCA-Europe and prior to that at GE. Charles T. Harris III was with Goldman Sachs & Co. Director Linda B. Keene was a VP at American Express. Director Peter Mayer was Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Penguin Group Companies. Director John G. McDonald is on the faculty at Stanford University. Maurice Greenfield, Senior VP and Chief Information Officer was a VP for 14 years with NBC.
A previous director in 1997, John Brademas, was on the board at the Aspen Institute and Texaco (see http://www.edgar-online.com/bin/people/doc_frame.asp?first=ALEXANDER+S%2E&last=ONASSIS&fna me=0000930413%2D97%2D000433&qlastname=ONASSIS&qfirstname=ALEXANDE R+S%2E&qftype=ALL&qcompname=&qcik=&searchpage=%2Fbrand%2Fyahoo%2Fpe ople%2Fdefault%2Easp&nad=0).
Scholastic also has had financial insurance with Prudential Insurance Co., which is a well-known arm of the Committee of 300 (see http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/729057/0000729057-98-000130.txt and http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/srch-edgar?0000866729).
There was also an interesting incident that occurred in 2000 wherein Donna Yun, wife of Scholastic officer David A. Yun (see http://www.edgar- online.com/bin/people/doc_frame.asp?first=DAVID+D%2E&last=YUN&fname=000104 7469%2D99%2D033426&qlastname=YUN&qfirstname=DAVID+D%2E&qftype=ALL &qcompname=&qcik=&searchpage=%2Fbrand%2Fyahoo%2Fpeople%2Fdefault%2Eas p&nad=0) was found guilty of insider trading by a federal jury. Ms. Yun had given inside information to a real estate co-worker who then used the information to gain a $269,000 profit (see http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/lr17047.htm). The two were ordered to pay a $100,000 fine each and repay the $269,000 profit (see http://flabusinessinsight.com/Articles/Columns/Dateline/dateline53.htm).
Perhaps not coincidentally, Scholastic also owns Pokemon, a series of popular children's characters which is used to subliminally push NWO philosophy on children (see http://biz.yahoo.com/e/010824/schl.html). For example, Pokemon features made-up cartoon creatures which "evolve" into other Pokemon creatures. By this method, even kindergarten children are indoctrinated into evolutionary concepts before they could even being taught them in public school. The very word "evolve" has now become part of children's vocabulary as a result of the widespread popularity of Pokemon.
Potter author J.K. Rowling claims to have come up with the idea for Harry Potter while on a cruise. But given the fact that she is British, that Britain has rampant witchcraft and occult activity, and that the British monarchy are avowed satanists and Committee of 300 members, this seems to be just a cover story. Instead Harry Potter appears to be just one more battle in a long war by Britain and the Olympians on America's (and the world's) Christian worldview. This assault really accelerated with the British export of satanic rock groups to America in the sixties. When we look at the damage they inflicted upon our country by using similar cultural manipulative techniques such as promoting rock concerts/illicit drugs, we must realize that the Harry Potter brainwashing is but yet another even more powerful, satanic attack that we can only resist with a supernatural effort through God.
Well, this is clearly a trustworthy and reliable report. I'm convinced, who's up for a good old-fashioned book burning?
Where to begin, where to begin ...
1. Its "Voldemort."
2. The lightning bolt scar was CAUSED by Voldemort's curse, he didn't "sear" it on there after the fact in a fit of pique like a branding iron. The curse Voldemort launched bounced off Harry (leaving the scar at the same time), and rebounded upon Voldemort, almost killing Voldemort himself. The scar itself is not a "curse."
The rest of the article is full of the same misstatements, errors, and outright lies. These people desperately need lives.
Even if she didn't look like Julia Roberts.
And your evidence for this stunning allegation is ... ?
I'm not surprised people like this are opposed to such concepts as reading and concentration.
That might actually lead to, gasp, thinking.
It's nice to read a reviewer who has her feet on the ground and doesn't believe any farfetched fantasies like witchcraft (or the Queen being a satanist).
Jeremiah Films is the best pseudo-comedy / conspiracy-theory film making company out there, they'll produce anything for a buck. Their lack of reality is a real hoot, the kooks they actually find to interview can't be for real. For a real laugh, check out some of their Christian-Identity films they made on contract for the White Suprememcist movement.
What's sad, there are people protesting Harry Potter because they somehow have gotten the impression that witchcraft exists, brooms can fly, magic potions can get you money, etc.
If your child cannot differentiate between fantasy and reality and gets a broomstick and jumps off the roof and breaks their neck, or drinks some kind of secret magic potion made out of Draino, let me know so i can nominate them for a Darwin Award.
I'm half-kidding of course, I think most people have taught their kids the difference between make-believe and real. But....and hey, if they want to practice witchcraft, let `em, they'll find out eventually that they made a big mistake, lol.
That's not in character for me, I know, so I'll say this "if they want to practice phony religions, let them, it is their Constitutional right".
He's always been a pretty good drinkin' buddy. Likes to eat stinky cheese, though.
You want to take all the fun out of my friends, the Evil Ones. Lighten up.
Bow before Doom.
This smells like a hoax. Somebody is either doing this as a spoof of anti-Potter hysteria, or peddling this stuff on the theory that a fool and his money are soon parted. They couldn't have picked a more gullible bunch of marks than the Cotton Mather crowd.
I don't try to saddle a reindeer because I believed in them as a kid. I might saddle my horse and put bells on the tack for a Christmas Eve ride. I might feel thankful under the stars that the Almighty saw fit to make me and this wonderful animal. We might ride up to a high point in the trail, look up and say "Happy Birthday Boss" as Hipshot Percussion did in the Sunday comics, 30 years ago.
Go help somebody, or get help for yourself. There's enough suspicion in the world.
Like all that's not in the Bible too.

Sometimes the voices in your head get to be too much. When this happens make a foil hat and take a nap!
Doom rocks. You bite.
You grow tiresome.
In ancient Babylon mythology, the god Marduk slayed the goddess Tiamat and slit her in two, the lower part becoming the earth and the upper part becoming the sky. He then spat onto the earth, and his spit formed into mankind.
You hear that voice too? I thought I was his only friend. Durn him! he always makes me buy.
And that's been around HOW many years?
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I had to slap Lord Voldemort around a little bit - he was getting obnoxious with Doctor Doom and I got tired of listening to him shouting curses and playing with his wand.
Great idea you have there, but be sure to tell the Elks Club and the Knights of Columbus as well. We'll need them to contact the Grays so we'll have flying saucer air support.
Oh yeah, the HEAD OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS A SATINIST . Yep, that's true, right, un hunh, got ya. LOL , LOL, LOL !
Oh, and NOW the sun and the globe are " occult " symbols. That makes as much sense as what these idiots did to Proctr & Gamble a few years back.
Harry Potter's last name is taken from Rowlings' childhood friend, who lived next door to her. She also did NOT get the idea , nor the inspiration for these books on a cruise!
These people have to sit up, all night, every night, trying to make something out of NOTHING ! If only they would put all of that wasted engery into something useful !
I could shred this entire article to bits, but it isn't worth it. There is about as much fact in this article, as there is in Clinton's " I DOD NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN . MONICA LEWINSKY " speech.
For a big laugh, I rate this article 95 % giggles, howls, and peals of laughter. : - )
I never knew that the nuttier of the witchcraft-obsessed types ACTUALLY BELIEVE that witchcraft WORKS..that is, that you REALLY can curse people and do magic with the power of Satan. Of course, believing that it actually works is probably the best advertisement for Satanic witchcraft there is.
Considering that J. K. Rowling was on public assistance and a single mother as she wrote the first story, I don't think cruises and the French Riviera were part of her social calendar at the time.

Mia Love, Jim Matheson tangle on taxes, jobs, health care in first debate
Ravell Call, Deseret News
Editor's note: Tune in to KSL-TV Thursday at 6:30 p.m. for a live television debate between Rep. Jim Matheson and challenger Mia Love.
SALT LAKE CITY — Republican congressional candidate Mia Love wants to cut the earned income tax credit for people who earn low to moderate wages. Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson doesn't, and quoted a GOP icon to back him up.
Asked at their first debate Wednesday whether that proposal equates to a tax increase for poor people, Love said no one should be exempt from paying taxes.
"You know what it says? It says that we're all Americans. I believe every American should pay something into this country we know and love," she said.
Love has proposed a 50 percent cut to the tax refund option that allows a credit of up to $5,650 to Utahns making less than $50,000 a year.
"I don't think my opponent has done her homework on what the earned income tax credit is. These are people who are working and who are paying taxes," Matheson said. Cutting it, he said, would increase the tax burden on 190,000 Utahns by $207 million.
Matheson said the program was created under President Ronald Reagan who called it "the most pro-family, best anti-poverty, best job creation measure to ever come out of Congress."
The 4th Congressional District candidates tangled over several issues at the Main Street Plaza in the 30-minute debate sponsored by KUTV and the Salt Lake Tribune. They took questions from an unemployed Provo resident, a University of Utah student, a Utah Taxpayers Association representative and reporters.
The race turned more testy this week after a Mother Jones magazine article questioned Love's immigrant parents' path to U.S. citizenship. Love blamed Matheson for the story. He said he had nothing to do with it and demanded an apology.
None of that came up during the debate, and the two shook hands before it started. But once the questions began, the candidates lit in to each other with contrasting styles: Love emphatic and demonstrative; Matheson calm and collected.
Their differences on issues such as job creation and health are as stark as their debate demeanors.
On improving the job market, Love said Matheson supports President Barack Obama, "which everything ends up with more spending, more borrowing more debt." She said she has the support of Mitt Romney who "knows I will do everything I can to create jobs."
Matheson said he doesn't think government should be running the economy. "I think our private sector should be based on something else. But I do support local public policy that encourages economic growth and opportunity," he said.
The candidates were asked if Americans have a right to health care.
"My father taught me that I was entitled to what I own, earned, worked for and paid for," Love said, adding the current health care system is "completely unsustainable."
Matheson called health care a deeply personal issue. "I think it's important in a country, the strongest country in the world, where we believe in the principles of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, that people have access to affordable health care."
Love and Matheson will meet in two more televised debates this week, including Thursday at 6:30 p.m. on KSL, Ch. 5. The two will also debate on KSL Newsradio next week.

Both European and American entities are now tailoring long-term development plans around the assumption that advances in vehicle design and fuel efficiency, as well as rising demand, will enable a large-scale and profitable space tourism industry.
It won't be as cheap as today's air travel – at first. After all, commercial air flight for its first three decades was an expensive mode of transportation used only by the well-to-do. It was only in the late 1950s that the use of large-bodied commercial aircraft became widespread, when lowered airfares brought air travel within reach of a mass market.
Though very few people have the means to shell out €20 million for a trip to the International Space Station, as one American and one South Africa businessman did a couple of years ago, there are enough rich tourists who might pay a fraction of that to do something similar. And to do it a lot sooner than 2020.
The UK's Sir Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Atlantic, is teaming up with legendary US aerospace engineer Burt Rutan, for example, to exploit the technology in Rutan's SpaceShipOne engine and prototype space shuttle. The unprecedented project was intended to demonstrate the viability of commercial space flight and open the door for space tourism.
The plane, with its striking nose – a pointed cone covered with small portholes – was designed by Burt Rutan and built with more than $20 million in funding from billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. One 4 October 2004, burning rocket fuel for 80 seconds, SpaceShipOne sped up to more than Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and then coasted to its peak altitude, making Melvill weightless.
Branson's goal is now to launch a space tourism business, dubbed 'Virgin Galactic', by 2007. The price for a trip to see the stars won't be cheap – at least €100,000 – but the British magnate obviously thinks there are enough rich tourists to create a real and sustainable market.
Whether he and others – several US entrepreneurs are now eyeing the same market and timeframe – can make a profit remains to be seen. A lot of thinking still has to go into the design of a re-useable shuttle or space taxi that is safer, more fuel efficient and more manoeuvrable than today's current generation of space shuttles. Instead of landing on an endless stretch of salt-flats in Nevada, a more manoeuvrable vehicle is needed to glide into smaller and more conveniently located 'space ports' closer to major population centres.
What pioneering space tourists will get in a few years will be the thrill of deep space without the 'deep'. Early commercial shuttles will be designed to carry passengers to sub-orbital altitudes – just below the outer edge of Earth's atmosphere. The reason is cost: it is prohibitively expensive to hoist tourist payloads into true orbit around the planet, but fairly cheap to reach sub-orbital trajectories.
Though a sub-orbital flight's duration will be limited, passengers will see the same stark beauty of outer space as astronauts do. They will see the curvature of the Earth and experience the thrill of weightlessness. Frequent flyer miles to be determined.

Canada Stocks Fall to Lowest in 2014 on Factory Reports
Canadian stocks declined, sending the benchmark index to the lowest level of the year, as energy and industrial shares slumped after manufacturing gauges in China and the U.S. weakened.
Energy producers retreated as Atlantic Power Corp. plunged 7.9 percent. BlackBerry Ltd. dropped 4.5 percent for a third straight day of losses. Cameco Corp. tumbled 5.3 percent after Canaccord Genuity Corp. analysts cut the stock's rating. Semafo Inc. jumped 2.2 percent after Macquarie North America analysts said it may be a target for mergers and acquisitions.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index decreased 208.74 points, or 1.5 percent, to 13,486.20 at 4 p.m. in Toronto. The gauge erased its gain for the year, falling 1 percent for 2014. Trading in S&P/TSX stocks was 2.8 percent higher than the 30-day average at the close.
"There's some worry about what's going on in emerging markets and if it's now spreading to developed markets and what the ramifications of this will be," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research with MacDougall MacDougall & MacTier Inc. in Toronto. The firm manages about C$4.5 billion ($4.1 billion). "There's just a general risk aversion that has come into the market today."
Manufacturing Slows
The Institute for Supply Management's factory index, a measure of U.S. manufacturing activity, decreased to 51.3 in January from 56.5 the prior month, the Tempe, Arizona-based group's report showed today. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
China's Purchasing Managers' Index decreased in January as output and orders slowed. The gauge was at 50.5 last month, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said Feb. 1 in Beijing. The reading in December was at 51. A number above 50 indicates expansion.
Gold for April delivery rallied 1.6 percent as declining global equity markets boosted demand for haven assets. The MSCI All-Country World Index dropped 1.6 percent, while emerging-markets shares slid 1.1 percent.
All 10 main industries in the S&P/TSX retreated at least 1 percent. Technology shares tumbled 2.9 percent, while industrials lost 2 percent. Consumer-discretionary shares and financials declined at least 1.3 percent.
Atlantic Power
Utilities slid 1.4 percent as Atlantic Power plunged 7.9 percent to C$2.69, an all-time low. Just Energy Group Inc. fell 4.6 percent to C$7.45 and ATCO Ltd. slipped 2.6 percent to C$48.55.
BlackBerry declined 4.5 percent to C$10.08, extending a three-day losing streak to 9.4 percent. Last week, a person familiar with the matter said Lenovo Group Ltd. considered the Motorola Mobility handset unit a better fit for the company than BlackBerry. Lenovo agreed to buy Motorola's handset unit from Google Inc. for $2.91 billion. Lenovo's chief financial officer said last year the company was considering a possible deal with BlackBerry.
Cameco tumbled 5.3 percent, the biggest drop since March 2012, to C$22.41. Canaccord analyst Gary Lampard downgraded the uranium explorer's rating to sell from hold.
Semafo Inc. jumped 2.2 percent to C$3.67. Macquarie analysts led by Michael Gray wrote that the gold mining company could potentially be bought by producers of the precious metal such as Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., Argonaut Gold Corp. and B2Gold Corp.
B2Gold climbed 2.7 percent to C$2.70. Argonaut increased 1.8 percent to C$5.11 and Agnico added 1.6 percent to C$35.21.

I love the way your writing flows, and the way the plot is unfolding. please keep writing.
| hatchlingpendragon chapter 17 . 12/29/2013
I've liked reading your story very much. It has a lovely mix of humor, adventure, and emotional depth. You're good at original characters, I really like Medusa and her interactions with the others, and am curious to hear more of her story. As to Mavis's and Johnny's argument, I love the perspectives there, like how they would seem under the public eyes, both humans' and monsters', I'd not considered that. This argument of theirs is very believable too, both of their frustrations being expressed in words and gestures. Ahh, poor Mavis... Her seeking comfort in Dracula like that was very evocative.
I look forward to more, to see how everyone goes from here. Very well written!
| Sondardo chapter 17 . 12/17/2013
Wow, that was pretty intense! On one hand, a good portion of this chapter was depicting our heroes having harmless and carefree fun with toad guns (haha)... It was nice to see that, it was very reminiscent of the playful nature that the movie had to begin with! It seems Johnny hasn't lost his touch to bring the fun wherever he goes, hehe!
And, that fight Medusa and Drac had? Pure genius! They bickered about Mavis, about the fact that Drac was still smothering her, that she wasn't a mere child anymore, but now a young adult! Really, the way you pulled it off, it sounded like a mother and a father arguing between themselves... I could totally picture Medusa as Mavis' new mother, she seems to care about Mavis, enough so that she can fend off for herself, but not too much, to not suffocate her. And, that last bit? About Medusa being afraid of petrifying her family because of her gorgon's power? Pure genius! I'm sure that Drac now possesses at least a little measure of respect for Medusa now...
Still, the part I was waiting for was... that fight between Mavis and Johnny. So... that was why Mavis didn't want Johnny to become a vampire! Because she loves the fact that he's a human, because she thinks that the fact that they're a monster-human couple could bring hope for peace between the two sides. She sees her relationship with Johnny, like it was a miracle, a blessing, that they could be the ushers of a new era of peace between humankind and monsterkind! Though, like Johnny pointed out, that's... a little naive. Oh, okay, and she doesn't want to turn Johnny because she's afraid of the pain he'll have to endure, because she's afraid he could die in the process... She's also afraid that Johnny might eventually resent her for robbing him of his humanity...
Still, Johnny does have a point. Would Mavis really want to watch Johnny grow old and die on her? I don't think so! I just think... she's not ready yet to turn him into a vampire, she... wants him to stay a human for a little longer... Anyway, that fight they got, that was... amazing, really! I can't wait to see them make up though, I'm sure Johnny feels as miserable as Mavis now, for being a little clumsy in their conversation and having devolved it into a fight... Perhaps... they could agree to a compromise? Perhaps... Mavis could turn Johnny during their wedding, or something similar? That way, she'll get to enjoy him as a human for a few more months or years...
Oh, and Mavis has her dad's blessings for learning Archery? Ohh, I want to see how it will go! Perhaps her anger and frustrations from her fight with Johnny will bring out hidden talents that she didn't knew she had, hehe!
Anyway, masterful job! I really enjoyed reading this! You really love to write chapters with conflicting emotions, aren't you? I mean, this chapter was half about something harmless and funny, and half about something dead serious. So, yeah, these opposites clashed really well in this chapter, making it really interesting! Keep it up, you're doing great!
| wallaceb chapter 1 . 12/16/2013
i really liked this chapter. i am not surprised at all that Drac would cheat the way he did, and to have him lose was perfect, and the complete and total astonishment when reality dawned in him that he lost was great.
i liked the fight between Johnny and Mavis, they both have great points. Mavis likes Johnny being a human because it will help bring monsters and humans closer together, of course Johnny is getting older, and he will never get that time back.
well done! update soon.
| wallaceb chapter 16 . 11/18/2013
i liked the skating, it was humorous and a nice detail. i also enjoy the banter between Medusa and Drac, it is always good for a laugh or two.
i am very surprised Mavis is as apprehensive about talking to Johnny about the transformation process as she is. Does she know something that she is not willing to tell?
another fantastic chapter.
| Sondardo chapter 16 . 11/17/2013
Nice! I really laughed at the beginning, where both Johnny and Mavis, especially Mavis, forced Dracula to apologize to Medusa for his behavior. It was really funny to read, especially when Mavis facepalmed after hearing Johnny made a clumsy comment, hehe...
I won't lie though, the part that really interested me was the conversation between Mavis and Johnny about turning someone into a vampire. For some reason, Mavis really don't seem to like that subject, and Johnny noticed it. And, I don't think Mavis is stupid, I mean, this wasn't the first time that Johnny almost declared to Mavis that he wanted her to turn him, and, even though he was interrupted each time, I'm pretty certain that Mavis, or at least a part of her, must have clicked and understood that Johnny might want to be a vampire. What I'm guessing is, she's avoiding the subject with all her might, because she's really scared of what may happen to Johnny, should things turn out bad in the process of turning him. Still, if she doesn't turn him, she will be cursed to watch him grow old and die on her, which isn't that much better... I'll be honest, I would love to see an honest conversation between Johnny and Mavis about them arguing about this subject. I believe it could really be nice to further the story even more, and to cause further character developments in both of them...
Of course, I also loved the end with the skating, it was a funny part as well, poor Medusa, ouch! I must say, you're doing a really great job between alternating between humor, the same kind of humor that's in the movie, and seriousness, making your chapters often clash in emotions, which is good, it's making it even more interesting to read!
All in all, I can't wait to see what will happen next! Will Medusa succeed at becoming a vampire? Will Johnny and Mavis have a real talk about whether Mavis want to bite Johnny or not? Will Dracula eventually warm up to Medusa?
Really, it's such an amazing story, I love it!
| COnnORfanBOY1 chapter 15 . 11/6/2013
WOW great chapter... cant wait for the next 1
| Sondardo chapter 15 . 11/6/2013
Okay, that chapter was pretty funny, hehe, with Dracula and Medusa having a sort of food battle. Well, Dracula asked for it though, since he provoked Medusa quite a bit, but, like Mavis said, he does have a point, Medusa will have to eat meat and drink blood eventually...
Mavis being silently angry at Medusa, for her lack of maturity since she's as responsible as her dad for having participated in that event, was a nice touch. Of course, she was equally angry against her dad as well, both because of that little food fight, and because he dared to finish every mice, leaving none for her to eat.
I do wonder what is Johnny's take on what happened? While probably a little grossed out, he would probably tell Mavis to let it slide, that it was just an innocent food fight between two stubborn people. Okay, it might add some fuel to the fire if he says it like that, hehe...
You did a great job with Norbert as well, I love the new chef, his personality, how you depicted him. Since we're on the subject, you did a great job period for this chapter! The flow was just natural and smooth, the chapter was paced just right, the paragraphs were short and well aired, making it easier for the eyes, all in all, it was very easy to read and enjoy, well, pretty much like the previous chapters, really...
This chapter was a little light-hearted, not that I mind, we need chapters like this, to lighten the mood, freshen the overall feel and pace of the story, and, well, for acting like the "calm before the storm", so to speak, since slower and lighter chapters are often used before a more intense one, to cause a greater effect.
Do I have any negative feedback to leave? Well, I've tried to find something, but, honestly, I cannot find any flaws in it. I really tried, because I know negative but constructive feedback is equally as important as positive feedback. Well, the grammar and the spelling are pretty much perfect, and, as I've said, the pacing is excellent as well. Everyone's acting n character too, so I didn't find consistencies errors as well. So, no, I don't have negative feedback to leave. Sorry if I've over-justified myself a little about this, I just didn't wanted you to think I was blindly praising you...
So, this chapter was fantastic, as well as the rest of the story. I wonder what will happen next? Will Dracula and Medusa warm up to each other? Will Dracula really accept to turn Medusa? If he eventually refuses, won't Mavis be tempted to turn her herself, to help her? I cannot wait to find out!
| Sondardo chapter 14 . 10/20/2013
Okay, I've been reading this story here and there since, well, May, I believe, but I never gave you a proper review, did I? I don't really know why either, but it's not because the story is bad, let me assure you, quite the opposite! Okay, it's a little overwhelming at first with all the OCs, but, at the same time, they are well developed, giving more depth to your story...
So, what did I love about your story? Well, where do I begin? For starters, I love how the characters are interacting with each another, the flow of the conversations is very fluid and easy to follow...Of course, I love the story as well, which, to sum it up, is about Mavis and Johnny finally traveling outside in the word together, going to the Underworld, another monster gathering community besides Hotel Transyvania, to wet their feet at traveling before they try to go into a human settlement...
I really loved the many spins you've put in your story! Mavis and Johnny were attacked by humans, Mavis herself being shot! Hecate the witch wanting to power up a spell to make the Underworld vanish, increasing its security... Medusa wanting to become a vampire, hoping to lose her stoning powers... I loved the conversation between Mavis and Medusa about that subject, as well as the bits where Johnny almost asked Mavis if he could become a vampire, and where he told Medusa he indeed wanted to be turned! Lastly, I love your last spin, which was to let Medusa enter into the Hotel, much to Dracula's chagrin...
So, in short, your story is extremely well-built, as I didn't find any coherence errors, the flow of reading it is pretty smooth, the OCs are well done as well, the spins are interesting... Okay, this wasn't easy to try to do a review about 14 chapters crammed into this, and I obviously could have went for wayyy longer, but it's a start...
So, once again, sorry about my lateness, and I can't see what will happen next in your story! Will Medusa be able to be turned into a vampire? Will she cause an accident in the Hotel, accidentally turning someone into stone? (if she turns Mavis or Johnny into stone, that would be very disastrous for her, and will make Dracula very very angry)... Will Johnny be able to tell Mavis that he does want to become a vampire? If so, how will she react to that?
Ok, enough with the hypothesis and the rhetoric, hehe... Thank you for havingwritten such an intriguing and beautiful story!

|Availability of triazine herbicides in aged soils amended with olive oil mill waste
|Cabrera Mesa, Alegría ; Cox, L. ; Koskinen, W. C.; Sadowsky, M. J.

|Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 56(11): 4112- 4119 (2008)
|Amendments are frequently added to agricultural soils to increase organic matter content. In this study, we examined the influence of alperujo, an olive oil mill waste, on the availability of two triazine herbicides, terbuthylazine and atrazine, in two different sandy soils, one from Sevilla, Spain, and the other from Minnesota. The effect of aging on herbicide sorption and bioavailability was also studied. Soils were amended with alperujo at a rate of 3-5% (w:w) in laboratory studies. Apparent sorption coefficients for the triazine herbicides were calculated as the ratio of the concentrations of each herbicide sequentially extracted with water, followed by aqueous methanol, at each sampling time. These data showed greater sorption of terbuthylazine and atrazine in amended soils as compared to nonamended soils, and an increase in the amount of herbicide sorbed with increasing aging time in nonamended soils. The triazine-mineralizing bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP was used to characterize triazine bioavailability. Less mineralization of the herbicides by Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP was observed in soils amended with alperujo, as compared to the unamended soils, and, despite the increase in sorption with aging in unamended soils, herbicide mineralization also increased in this case. This has been attributed to Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP first using alperujo as a more readily available source of N as compared to the parent triazines. In summary, addition of alperujo to the soils studied was shown to increase triazine herbicides sorption and hence to reduce its availability and potential to leach.

SARS Update to Date
Medical Author: Frederick Hecht, M.D.
April 1, 2003 -- The New England Journal of Medicine has released two articles and an editorial about SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), well before they were scheduled to appear in the Journal, because of their important public health implications. The articles and editorial are designed to help physicians caring for patients who may have SARS . They are as follows:
"A Cluster of Cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Hong Kong" by K.W. Tsang and Others. This article outlines the clinical features of SARS based on the cases of 5 men and 5 women in whom SARS was diagnosed between February 22 and March 22, 2003 in Hong Kong. Exposure between the source patient and subsequent patients with SARS ranged from minimal to close. The incubation period was 2 to 11 days. All patients had fever (temperature over 38°C or 100.4°F for over 24 hours), and most of them had dry cough, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), malaise, headache, and hypoxemia (low blood oxygen). Nine of the 10 patients also had lymphopenia (low lymphocyte count) . Chest films showed progressive air-space disease. Two of the 10 patients died of progressive respiratory failure. Fever followed by rapidly progressive respiratory compromise is the key complex of signs and symptoms from which the syndrome derives its name.

Falkland Oil 'Big Bets' Make Desire Most Volatile
Investors seeking volatility should look to the South Atlantic Ocean.
Desire Petroleum Plc and Rockhopper Exploration Plc have the largest average daily price moves among U.K.-traded companies valued at more than 100 million pounds ($159 million). They explore for oil in the waters around the Falkland Islands, the sheep-farming outpost 8,000 miles from London that Margaret Thatcher fought a war to keep British 28 years ago.
The swings are driven by a brigade of individual investors wagering on the success of exploration wells in a region the U.S. Geological Survey says may hold 4 billion barrels of oil. Rockhopper, whose Sea Lion discovery may be the area's first viable field, has risen or fallen more than 10 percent on 19 days this year. Desire gained 76 percent one day this week on speculation it had struck oil at its Rachel prospect.
"Gambling is too strong a word, but you're effectively taking big bets on high-risk stuff," said Richard Rose, an analyst at Oriel Securities Ltd. "You're going to get wild swings because small bits of information have big hits on the shares. It will stay volatile as long as they keep drilling."
Desire climbed 7 percent to 97 pence as of the 4:30 p.m. close in London. Rockhopper fell 1.9 percent to 318.5 pence.
The switchback ride is likely to intensify as the summer drilling season gets under way and as many as six fresh prospects are appraised by the end of June next year. The long-term future of the companies will depend on enough discoveries to make the development of an oil industry worth the investment in the remote islands, still claimed by neighboring Argentina.
'Excite the Imagination'
"These companies excite the imagination of smaller investors," said Lionel Therond, an analyst at broker Fox-Davies Capital in London. "There's potential for big discoveries. It's high-risk, high reward."
A group including Royal Dutch Shell Plc drilled six wells in 1998 without making a commercial discovery. The U.S. Geological Survey says there's a 50 percent chance the Falklands have 4 billion barrels of crude.
Desire, based in Malvern, England, has a 180-day historical volatility of 167 percent, an annualized measure of how much the stock has varied from its average price over the last 180 trading days. Rockhopper's volatility is 164 percent. The figure for Shell, Europe's largest oil company, is 24 percent.
Retail Investors
Individual retail investors own about 80 percent of Desire's shares and about 60 percent of Rockhopper, according to the companies. Falkland Oil & Gas Plc, the ninth most volatile stock on the 180-day measure, is 30 percent held by individuals. By comparison, 79 percent of BP Plc shares belong to institutional investors.
Internet chat rooms, where participants discuss the results of exploration wells, may help fan swings in shares. Comment on Desire's shares increased on Interactive Investor on Oct. 27 as the stock rose as much as 112 percent on speculation that the company had struck oil or would be bought out.
The surge came two weeks after it said it had failed to find hydrocarbons in the main target at its Rachel well. Desire had to make a statement the following day saying it hadn't been approached about a takeover.
Even with a big find, the dearth of pipelines or other infrastructure means production is years away, said Dougie Youngson, an analyst at Arbuthnot Securities Ltd. in London. Argentina also forbids vessels that stop in the Falklands from loading cargo at its ports.
Salisbury, England-based Rockhopper, named for the penguins that inhabit the islands, surged 150 percent on May 6, the day it announced the discovery at the Sea Lion prospect.
Abandoning Exploration
While the shares have risen more than fivefold this year, they plunged more than 20 percent on Oct. 13 after its advisers said the level of resources may be lower than expected. Falkland Oil & Gas slumped more than 50 percent on July 12 after abandoning an exploration well.
"These stocks are driven by the retail market, and they want volatility," said Arbuthnot's Youngson. "Rockhopper's had some success, but it's not big enough to establish an industry in a frontier environment."
Still, Desire and Rockhopper have raised additional drilling funds for exploration in the North Falkland Basin through share placements within the past year. Argos Resources Ltd. also holds licenses to the north of the islands, while Borders & Southern Petroleum Plc and Falkland Oil & Gas focus on a different geological formation on the southern side.
The summer drilling season in the Falklands runs from October to April. Desire plans to drill the Dawn/Jacinta well in November and the Anna well in December. Rockhopper holds a 7.5 percent interest in both.
Falkland Oil & Gas has plans drill two prospects early next year, subject to rig availability. Borders & Southern already delayed plans to drill the Darwin and Stebbing prospects as soon as this quarter because it couldn't find a rig.

"Pinchas Ben Elazar Ben Aharon the kohen turned away my wrath from upon the sons of Israel by his zeal for my sake in their midst; and I did not bring destruction upon the sons of Israel because of my jealousy. Therefore, say, behold, I give to him my covenant of peace" (25:11-2). This is a special proclamation of acclaim. Though Moshe certainly approved of Pinchas, Hashem here teaches the necessity to render public recognition to the righteous.

The Gemara in Baba Basra 119b relays the following conversation that took place in this week's parshah: Moshe Rabbeinu was teaching the halachos of yibum when the daughters of Tzelaphchad approached him with the following question: Our father died in the midbar and did not have any sons. Why then is our mother not required to fulfill the obligation of yibum? And if the fact that he had daughters is the reason that she is not obligated to fulfill this requirement, why then can we (his daughters) not receive an inheritance – just like sons would?

We often sit through the haftorah wondering, "Why do we read the haftorah anyway?" Krias HaTorah of the parsha makes sense—we read a portion of the Chumash each week so that we finish the entire Torah over the course of the year. But we're not reading a portion of Navi each week so that we can finish all of it on some kind of schedule.

In this week's parshah Balak hires Bilam to curse the Jews. The Gemaras in Berachos 7a and Avodah Zarah 4a say that there is a very brief moment during each day when Hashem allows himself to get angry. The Gemara says that no one was ever able to exact that moment except for Bilam the rasha, as it says: "veyode'a das elyon – and he knew Hashem's knowledge."

In the aftermath of the episode of Zimri and the Midianite women, Hashem struck down 24,000 Jews. Yet immediately afterward, Hashem reaffirmed his tremendous love for Israel. Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, explains that this is in character with Hashem's quality of chastising severely the nation he loves so dearly.

It is a scene that still has the power to shock and disturb. The people complain. There is no water. It is an old complaint and a predictable one. That's what happens in a desert. Moses should have been able to handle it in his stride. He has been through far tougher challenges in his time. Yet suddenly he explodes into vituperative anger:

In 1978, Michael Aun won the Toastmaster's International Speaking contest in Vancouver. He remarks that although he is well-known for winning the contest in 1978, he lost it in 1977 in Toronto, because he went seven seconds over his allotted time. In his words, "Do you know what you do after you lose a contest because of seven seconds? You go up to your hotel room and you cry. But after a while, you realize that you can go for it again. A year later I won it in Vancouver. I often say that we have to remember that you often have to go through Toronto in order to get to Vancouver."

Aharon HaKohen is distinguished for his love of peace. Korach earned distinction for failing in this area; his name has become synonymous with dispute and divisiveness. Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, found in this story a striking lesson about the danger of argumentativeness and its application to every Jew.

The Gemara in Kiddushin 41b derives from a pasuk in this week's parshah the concept of shelichus (acting on one's behalf). The pasuk says, "kein tarimu gam atem terumas Hashem – so you too shall remove the terumah of Hashem." The Gemara explains that the word gam (too) is superfluous; thus we draw from this that another person may remove terumah for you on your behalf.

Captain Chesley Sullenberger, of "miracle on the Hudson" fame, recently wrote a book on leadership entitled, Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage From America's Leaders. Instead of focusing on his own heroic performance, landing Flight 1549, he decided to focus on a number of contemporary leaders who have influenced events in some way. The first person he wrote about is Admiral Thad Allen, former commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. Allen is best known for assuming command of the government's rescue and relief effort in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

At the conclusion of this week's parshah, the Torah writes about the mekoshesh eitzim – the individual who desecrated Shabbos in the midbar by gathering wood. The pasuk says that since it was uncertain what the halacha was concerning one who is mechallel Shabbos, the mekoshesh was placed in custody until Hashem gave instructions as to what to do. Hashem then told Moshe Rabbeinu that the man is to be put to death by stoning; and so he was.

One aspect of Divine Justice stipulates that through the decisions we make we help shape the world around us. Good deeds bring in their wake positive outcomes and the reverse is also true. In the mitzvah of the Second Pesach (Pesach Sheni), Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, develops this understanding and finds that Hashem manipulated history specifically for the purpose of making such outcomes happen.

The episode of the spies has rightly puzzled commentators throughout the centuries. How could they have got it so wrong? The land, they said, was as Moses had promised. It was indeed "flowing with milk and honey." But conquering it was impossible. "The people who live there are powerful, and the cities fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of the giant there … We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are … All the people we saw there are of great size. We saw the titans there … We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and so we seemed in theirs" (Numbers 13:28-33).

Each detail in the Torah is laden with meaning. Surely the service vessels of the Temple had great importance and consequence over and above their routine service. In the description of the menorah that stood in chamber outside the Holy of Holies, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, found layer upon layer of meaning.

The Rambam, in Hilchos Beis Habechirah 1:12, derives from the pasuk in this week's parshah, "u'veyom hakim es haMishkan… – and on the day the Mishkan was set up…" (Bamidbar 9:15), that the Beis HaMikdash can only be built by day, not by night. Further in that halacha the Rambam writes that both men and women are obligated in the mitzvah of building the Beis HaMikdash. The Kesef Mishneh explains that the source for the halacha that women are obligated in this mitzvah is from the pasuk in parshas Vayakhel: "v'kol ishah chachmas lev beyada tavu – and every wise-hearted woman spun with her hands."

Adaptive leadership is called for when the world is changing, circumstances are no longer what they were, and what once worked works no more. There is no quick fix, no pill, no simple following of instructions. We have to change. At a certain point, Moses had to help the Israelites change, to exercise responsibility, to learn to do things for themselves while trusting in God instead of relying on God to do things for them.

We often sit through the haftorah without understanding what it is all about. "Why do we read the haftorah anyway?" we sometimes think. Krias HaTorah of the parsha makes sense—we read a portion of the Chumash each week so that over the course of the year we have completed the entire Torah. But what is the goal of reading the haftorah? We know that it is not so we can finish Navi on some kind of schedule. What then is the purpose of the haftorah?

In this week's parshah the Torah writes about the halachos of a sotah. A sotah is a woman whose husband warned her, in the presence of two witnesses, not to go into seclusion with a specific man – but two witnesses saw her in seclusion with that man. Even though the only testimony that we have is that she was secluded with this man, she is nevertheless forbidden to be with her husband as she is an adulteress. This is in effect until she drinks the sotah water.

Bring on the nubiles! Christoph Clark highlights slinky spinner and gape-princess Sasha Rose in Russian Angels 2, four scenes of high-energy ass-fucking and cock-gobbling done Christoph-style—elegant yet casually, intensely nasty. Tasty blonde munchkin Cristall goes from tease to gape queen in one easy lesson, and bosomy young Candy Alexa gets her first double-penetration, courtesy of Ian Scott and Steve Holmes.
The look of Eastern European women, Russian, Czech, Slovakian or otherwise, is usually the biggest turn-on. In the case of Russian Angels 2, Christoph Clark has found a few really attractive babes who excel at anal sex. I'm always amazed at how a girl as beautiful as brunette Sasha Rose can still look pretty with a large cock in her gaping anus. Or when someone as provocative as Candy Alexa (she is Russian, but I wish her name were Olga) keeps a sexy face on while being double penetrated.
Every one of the four scenes in this opus are intense, and the anal, d.p., A2M, etc. all seem to come natural to these Russian sluts … I'm sorry, angels. Clark shoots in a detailed style that captures every move, every sweat bead, every facial cumshot, and does it with style and panache.
A very good, hot depiction of post-Soviet babes.
