- The Stolen Falcon Hawk
China's Falcon Hawk (J-31) is what experts call a copycat of Lockheed's X-35, the plane that was developed into the F-35 series. Researchers believe that China saved at least 25 years worth of R&D by using stolen classified information from the United States.
If that isn't bad enough, the Falcon Hawk has started an arms race in the east as India, Korea and Japan race to develop their own fifth-generation stealth fighter jet. China plans on selling their J-31 jet to countries the US won't sell its F-35 to, like Pakistan.
- The Spy That Didn't Get Away
Chinese national Su Bin was imprisoned in the US for stealing military plans. Those plans included blueprints for the US F-35 and F-22 fighter jets. Su Bin sent the information back to Beijing and within an amazingly short period of time, the Chinese military came out with one of their most advanced fighter jets, the Chengdu J-20.
The Chinese stealth plane Chengdu J-20 made its first public appearance in 2016 and the Chinese claim that the planes have already entered initial operation in the air force as of 2017. The one-man plane can supposedly reach speeds up to 1,305 mph and is equipped with stealth design similar to the F-22.
- A Chinese UFO
A mysterious Chinese UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was spotted in Changchun in 2011 whose design looks like a complete replica of Boeing's X-45 UAV. The Chinese have been far behind US UAV capabilities for decades but seem to be catching up fast with stolen technology. The X-45 first took flight in May of 2002 and after developing multiple models successfully concluded test flights in 2005.
The X-45 was developed by the internally funded Phantom Works and the modified X-45C served as the basis for liquid hydrogen-powered unmanned aircraft systems. The X-45 can reach a cruising speed of 613 mph (0.8 Mach) and has a maximum payload of 4,500 lbs.
- The Flopping Fish
The Shenyang J-15 is produced by Chinese manufacturer Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The J-15 made its first flight in 2009 and was introduced into the PLA in 2013. The Chinese received an unfinished prototype of the Russian Sukhoi Su-33 from Ukraine and after studying it extensively developed the J-15 based on the Su-33.
Russian experts have said that the Chinese version of the aircraft is unlikely to achieve the same performance as that of the Russian original. Critics in China have called the J-15 nothing more than a "flopping fish" due to its inability to carry heavy weapons.
- Same Same
The Chengdu Pterodactyl UAV looks like a near exact replica of the US MQ-9 Reaper and is being sold as a cheaper alternative to the US predator series. This Chinese UAV has reportedly been sold to Egypt, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and allegedly Pakistan. The UAVs were sold at an estimated $1 million per unit.
The Chinese version of this drone was introduced in 2008, seven years after the American version, and carries a payload of 440 lbs. Like its US counterpart, it can be fitted with a variety of radars, sensors, turrets and is capable of carrying weapons.
- China Claims Superiority
The Chinese media boldly claims that the CH-4 is superior to the American model in every aspect. According to experts, the CH-4 can carry a payload of up to 760 lbs and can clock a flight time of 38 hours with a range of over 2,000 miles.
The Cai Hong-4 is a Chinese UAV designed and developed by state-owned manufacturer China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The Cai Hong-4, in the standard Chinese fashion, very closely mimics the US MQ-1 Predator.
- The Flying Tiger Imposter
The SVU 200 is an unmanned helicopter manufactured by the Chinese company Sunward and its appearance is very similar to the American Northrop MQ-8 Fire Scout. In specifications though, the Chinese unmanned helicopter pales in comparison to the far superior Fire Scout.
The SVU-200, nicknamed the 'Flying Tiger,' carries a max payload of 264 lbs, can reach speeds as fast as 130 mph and has an endurance of 2.6 hours of airtime. The Fire Scout can carry as up to 2,950 lbs payload, has a maximum speed of 160 mph and endure up to 15 hours of flight.
- Russian Meltdown
Another case of shameless copycatting appears in the Chinese Shenyang J-11 which is identical to the Soviet Sukhoi Su-27. In fact, the planes are so similar that NATO refers to the aircraft as "Flanker" and "Flanker B+." The production of the Chinese Shenyang J-11 has shaken Chinese-Russian relations.
Russia has announced that they are in talks with the Chinese about the production of weapons Russia says are "unlicensed." Russia has also expressed concerns over future sales of advanced systems and components to China.
- The Italian Job
The Hongdu JL-8is a two-seat jet trainer and light attack aircraft "designed" by China Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation. The JL-8's reveal in 1990 left many people scratching their heads and saying that it appears to be just a vintage 1970's Italian Aermacchi MB-339. The MB-339 is an Italian aircraft that took its first flight in 1976.
The Chinese have built over 500 of the JL-8 since its introduction at around $10 million apiece. The JL-8 reportedly has a maximum speed of 498 mph and has a range of 1,398 miles.
- The Original Cub
The Chinese medium-range transport aircraft, Shaanxi Y-9, originated from the designs of the Soviet Antonov An-12 (codenamed cub). The Soviet model was introduced in 1959 after making its first flight in 1957. The Y-9, on the other hand, didn't become operational in the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) until 2012, according to Chinese sources.
The Y-9 can transport up to 25 tons of cargo or be configured with 106 seats to transport troops or up to 132 armed paratroopers.
- Greg the Gallant
Chinese aircraft corporation Xian began developing the Y-20 the exact same year that a Chinese engineer named Dongfan "Greg" Chung was caught spying on Boeing. Chung leaked over 250,000 documents including blueprints for the Boeing C-17 to the Chinese government. According to Chinese sources, the Y-20 can carry more than 200 tons and fly up to 9,400 miles.
The Y-20 is the first heavy airlifter developed in China and only the fourth country in the world to develop such an aircraft after the United States, Russia and Ukraine. In terms of payload, the Y-20 carries slightly less than the C-17 but more than the Russian Ilyushin II-76.
- Lacking in Performance
The Tianchi drone made its first appearance at Zhuhai International Airshow in 2006 and is reportedly being used by the Chinese Navy. The stealth design of the Tianchi drone is eerily similar to that of the US Global Hawk manufactured by Northrop Grumman. Little is known about the Chinese drone but it is believed to be capable of reaching speeds up to 105 mph and has a payload of over 330 lbs.
Multiple models of the Global Hawk have been developed with payload adjusters, enabling some models to carry a payload of over 3,000 lbs. The Global Hawk can reach speeds up to 391 mph. While the Tianchi BZK-005 may look very similar in design to US models, it doesn't compare in performance.
- The "Native" Design
The Comac ARJ-21, also known as the Xiangfeng, was introduced in 2016 after making its first test flight in 2008. Chinese factories that built parts for the US MD-90 went on to build parts for the Chinese model. The Chinese ARJ-21 relies heavily on foreign suppliers, including the United States. Despite its appearance and usage of nearly identical parts, the Chinese claim that the model is a completely native design.
The Douglas DC-9 was introduced in 1965 and was designed for frequent short flights. The DC-9/MD-80/90/171 family of aircraft was discontinued after 41 years and 2,400 units being built.
- Black Market Black Hawk
The Chinese purchased a civilian model of the Sikorsky UH-60, commonly known as the "Black Hawk," from Pakistan in the 1980s. The Pakistanis also gave the Chinese access to a non-civilian model of the Black Hawk. Experts say that the Chinese 'borrowed heavily' from the US Black Hawk in developing their own Z-10 helicopter.
China first conducted a test flight of the Z-10 in late 2013. Noticeable differences between the designs are a 5-blade rotor, a larger cabin and different landing gears and tail.
- The Yak
The Chinese Hongdu L-15 is a supersonic trainer and light attack aircraft that is designed very similarly to the Russian Yakovlev Yak-130. The L-15 was reportedly developed with the assistance of Yakovlev OKB which designed the Yak-130. The L-15 made its first flight in 2006 and was introduced into the PLAAF sometime between 2008 and 2010.
Hongdu L-15's unit cost is approximately $14.6 million whereas the Yak-130 runs an estimated $15 million. The L-15 is primarily used for flight training and advanced combat training.
- Shengyang J-5 (1956) – MiG 17 (1950)
The Shenyang J-5 is another exact copy of a Soviet jet, this time the MiG-17. The Soviets licensed the jet out to China, Poland and East Germany into the 1960s. The jets were used heavily against the US in the Vietnam War. Around 107 Chinese J-5 jets and 135 FT-5 jets are in use by the North Korean Air Force.
Experts suggest that less than 50% of the North Korean fleet remain airworthy. Over 12,000 J-5 and MiG-17 jets were built collectively.
- Chengdu J-10/F-10 (2002) – IAI Lavi (1986)
Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) developed a prototype single-engined fourth-generation multirole jet fighter in the 1980s called Lavi. The project was later canceled during the flight testing phase, three prototypes were built. The Chinese later introduced the Chengu J-10 in 1998. Externally the two planes could be brothers.
Senior Russian engineers have been cited saying that their Chinese colleges have admitted to benefiting greatly from technical information from the Israeli Lavi project. China has denied all allegations that there is any connection between the two aircraft.
- Xian MA-60 (2000) – Antonov An-24 (1960)
The Xian MA-60 is a turboprop-powered airliner based directly off the Soviet Antonov An-24, evident just by comparing the two aircraft. The An-24 was designed and manufactured in the Soviet Union and made its first test flight in 1969. The An-24 is still actively used by many countries around the world. The Chinese MA60 combines designs from the Xian Y7 and Russian An-24 to operate in rugged conditions and to have short take-off and landing capabilities.
The MA-60 has been involved in a significant number of accidents, one resulting in the loss of 21 passengers and 4 crewmembers. New Zealand even suspended aid to Tonga's tourism industry after China donated a MA-60 to Real Tonga airline.
- Harbin SH-5 (1986) – Japanese Shin Meiwa US-1A (1971)
The Harbin SH-5 appears to be very similar to the Japanese Shin Meiwa US-1A. No information exists linking the two aircraft, such as design leaks or stolen prototypes but the two are extremely alike. The US-1A was developed by the Japanese manufacturer Shin Meiwa and took its first flight in 1967. It was introduced into the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force in 1971.
The aircraft is designed for anti-submarine warfare and air-sea rescue. The Chinese model took its first flight test just a decade later.
- Changhe Z-11 (1994) – Eurocopter/Aerospatiale AS350 (1974)
The Changhe Z-11 is a strikingly close copy of the French Eurocopter AS350. The Chinese developed their version two decades after the AS350 but perhaps the similarity is just a coincidence… Sadly, the Chinese helicopter rates either worse or the same for most specifications and characteristics against the AS350. The Z-11 is heralded as the first indigenously-designed helicopter in China despite its very notable similarities to the AS350.
At least 3,600 of the popular AS350 helicopter have been built and distributed worldwide since its debut in 1975.
- Harbin Z-8 (1985) – Aerospatiale Super Frelon (1962)
The Chinese manufactured the French Super Frelon under license and sold by the Harbin Aircraft Industry Group. The Super Frelon helicopter is a three-engined transport helicopter and was at one point the world's fastest helicopter. The helicopters were used in China as either anti-submarine aircraft or rescue aircraft.
The Super Frelon saw heavy usage during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, proving the aircraft's value as rescue transport. Other squads of the helicopter are used in China for fighting wildfires.
- Harbin Z-9 (1981) – Eurocopter/Aerospatiale AS365 (1975)
The Harbin Z-9 is a licensed Chinese variant of the French Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin. The European helicopter made its first test flight in 1975 and are still in use today. The Chinese variant was first tested in 1981 and later introduced in 1994.
The Z-9 was initially a utility helicopter then the Chinese developed the Z-9W variant which could perform missions such as anti-tank warfare, close air support, armed patrol, anti-terrorism and law enforcement. In 2010 China sold a number of the Z-9W helicopters to an undisclosed customer… North Korea anyone?
- Shenyang J-8 (1980) – Sukhoi Su-15 (1962)
The J-8 is essentially a copy of the Soviet Sukhoi Su-15, a twin-engined supersonic interceptor aircraft. The Chinese were able to produce the aircraft due to technology taken from the Soviets due to cooperation between the two countries during the 50s and 60s.
The J-8 was built to combat the new B-58 Hustler bomber, F-105 Thunderchief fighter-bomber and the Lockheed U-2 spy plane. Currently, over 300 J-8 aircraft are in use by China's PLAAF. At least 1,290 Su-15 aircraft have been built.
- Chengdu J-7 (1966) – MiG-21 (1955)
The Chengdu J-7 supersonic jet fighter and interceptor is a license-built version on the Soviet MiG-21. Both the Chinese and Soviet jets are codenamed "Fishbed" by NATO. The Soviets shared their technology with the Chinese to overtake western aircraft. The project stopped after the Sino-Soviet split due to political and ideological differences.
After the split, the Chinese reverse-engineered the MiG-21 for local production. Countries all over the world still use the two aircraft, collectively over 14,000 MiG-21 and J-7 have been built.
- Xian H-6 (1959) – Tupolev Tu-16 (1952)
The Xian H-6 was developed from the Soviet Tupolev Tu-16. The H-6 is a twin-engined jet strategic heavy bomber. The aircraft was licensed to the Chinese and at least 120 of the jets are currently active in the PLAAF. One of the first airborne nuclear tests inside China was carried out with an H-6 on May 14, 1965, at the Lop Nur test site. At least 45 nuclear tests were conducted at the site.
One Japanese expert suggests that at least 190,000 people in the region may have died from nuclear-related illnesses. Advancements in ballistic missile technology have since diminished the H-6's importance as a nuclear-delivery jet.
- Harbin H-5 (1966) – Ilyushin Il-28 (1948)
The Harbin H-5 is the Soviet-licensed Ilyushin Il-28 jet bombers, codenamed Beagle by NATO. The jet bomber was the first of its type that entered mass-production in the USSR. At least 7,000 of the aircraft were produced. Currently, only North Korea still uses the aircraft. The twin engined jet bomber was developed to carry a bombload of over 6,600 lbs at 500mph.
The Il-28 was widely exported and used by Egypt in multiple wars against Israel. The Il-28 also saw limited use in the Vietnam War.
27. Yunshuji-6 (1960) – Ilyushin Il-12 (1945)
The 1960 Chinese Yunshuji-6 was a copy of the 1945 Soviet Ilyushin Il-12. The Il-12 was developed in the mid-1940s for small to medium cargo transport or airline use. Around 660 of the aircraft were produced. The twin-engine cargo plane had a reach 3,100 miles at a speed of 250 mph.
The aircraft was very accident prone. Between 1947 and 1960 at least 49 of the aircraft were totaled in accidents, killing around 465 people on board.
28. Nanchang CJ-6 (1958) – Yakovlev Yak-18 (1946)
The Nanchang CJ-6 was designed and manufactured in China but you wouldn't know if from looking at it. The plane looks exactly like the Soviet built Yakovlev Yak-18. The Yak-18 was a licensed predecessor of the CJ-6. According to the Chinese, their "new" model added "an aluminum semi-monocoque fuselage, flush-riveted throughout, and introduced a modified Clark airfoil wing design with pronounced dihedral in the outer sections."
The Chinese built over 2,000 of these aircraft. The Yak-18, the supposed predecessor to the CJ-6, was famously used by the North Korean army during the Korean War as night bombers.
29. Nanchang Y-5 (1957) – Antonov An-2 (1948)
The Nanchang Y-5 was built from blueprints of the Antonov An-2. The plane is often referred to as the "corn crop duster" and used as an agricultural and utility aircraft. The Soviets mass produced over 18,000 of the planes from 1947 through 2001. The North Korean Special Operation Force reportedly still uses the An-2 for paratrooper infiltrations.
The planes can carry up to 12 passengers and reach a maximum speed of up to 160 mph. The An-2 is known for being a reliable plane that has the ability to take off from poor runways.
- Harbin Z-5 (1959) – Mil Mi-4 (1952)
The Harbin Z-5 helicopter was designed by the Soviets as Mil Mi-4, the blueprints were shared with the Chinese just before the Soviet-China split. China took the designs and started manufacturing the helicopters for themselves. The Z-5 is a piston-powered transport/utility helicopter. It was first tested in 1958 and then introduced in 1959.
The Chinese mass produced at least 575 Harbin Z-5 helicopters, some with machine-gun and rocket pod modifications. The Z-5 has since been retired from active service.

Update: We've gotten word from Professor Conca that An Unfinished Foundation was released on July 13th, 2015, ahead of the planned release.
On August 10th, 2015 Global Environmental Politics Professor Ken Conca's new book, An Unfinished Foundation: The United Nations and Global Environmental Governance, will be released on Oxford University Press in paperback and hardcover (Links to order: paperback and hardcover. The E-book version may already be available; check with your preferred E-book store).
A summary of the book's arguments can be found in an except that Conca shared as a blog post for McGill University's International Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy.
Furthermore, read below for the official summary of An Unfinished Foundation, as well as praise for the book.
Official Summary of An Unfinished Foundation:
This book examines the origins, effectiveness, and limitations of the United Nations system's approach to global environmental governance. The UN Charter mandates the global organization to seek four noble aspirations: international peace and security, rule of law among nations, human rights for all people, and social progress through development. On environmental issues, however, the UN has understood its charge much more narrowly. It works for "better law between nations" and "better development within them" while treating peace, security, and human rights as unrelated to the world's environmental problems. A performance assessment of this selective approach shows that, despite some important gains, it is failing for some of world's most pressing and contentious environmental challenges, and has lost most of the political momentum it once enjoyed. By not treating the environment as a human rights issue, the UN fails to mobilize powerful tools for accountability in the face of pollution and resource degradation. Similarly, ignoring the conflict potential around natural resources and environmental protection efforts causes the UN to miss opportunities to transform the destructive cycle of violence and vulnerability around resource extraction. The book traces the history of the UN's approach, maps its increasingly apparent limits, and suggests needed reforms to use conflict sensitivity, peacebuilding, accountability mechanisms, and rights-based approaches as tools in the UN's environmental work. The UN's environmental efforts require not just a managerial reorganization but a conceptual revolution—one that brings to bear the full force of the organization's mandate.
Praise for An Unfinished Foundation:
"Ken Conca argues carefully and persuasively that the United Nations must do much more to incorporate principles of human rights and conflict resolution into its environmental policies. His diagnosis is on target, and his concrete proposals would make international environmental protection more transparent, more responsive, and more effective." John Knox, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment
"Ken Conca's well-deserved reputation as an active, engaged, and insightful analyst is burnished further with his persuasive probing of the United Nations as an essential institution hobbled by a feeble and wrong approach to environmental challenges. This book is a wake-up call for those who dismiss international organizations as insignificant. An Unfinished Foundation makes a compelling case that a narrow focus on development and international law deprives the world organization of the leverage that would result from reframing the issue to include the peace- and rights-related dimensions of global environmental governance." Thomas G. Weiss, author of What's Wrong with the United Nations and How to Fix It
"Without discounting or distorting the important work of the United Nations, Conca conducts a critical analysis of the international body's record on environmental issues and sets out a bold but pragmatic agenda for reform and renewal. This book should inspire a vital debate about how the UN can live up to the full promise of its mandate, in order to tackle the most serious challenges facing humanity." Athena Ballesteros, Director, Sustainable Finance Center, World Resources Institute

Celine Mini Luggage and Celine Micro Luggage replica bag reviewCategories:Other Brands
I absolutely adore the Celine Micro Luggage, it came out of nowhere and it rocked the world of fashion. It has everything you might ask from a handbag, it looks great, it has high quality materials and it is enough roomie to carry all your stuff. My best friend, Jane, asked me to buy one of these amazing purses online. So I decided to achieve two of them, one mini for me and one micro for her. The price of the original bags is ~$3000 so we chose the replicas this time too.
I contacted my friends from pursevalley and they assured me that these bags are more than beautiful so I placed the order online. In two weeks I received them home and I was very excited to see that they indeed look wonderful. The only difference between them is the dimension the Celine Mini Luggage Bag is: 12" x 12" x 7" (H x W x D) and the Celine Micro Luggage Bag is: 10" x 10" x 6" (H x W x D). But trust me there is enough room in both of them for all the daily stuff; perfect for office and making us look very fun and trendy for the weekends.
The leather is sturdy and the Celine Micro Luggage replica bag is able to stand on its own, the stitching are impeccable there are no missing spaces there. The bags have beautiful colors and you can really feel the high quality of the leather when wearing them. They are very easy to wear, with two handles attached and the long strap, in case you need it. The bags have two zipper pockets, a bigger one inside the bag and a smaller one on the front part and they are secured with a large zipper that holds everything inside the bags. The inside of the purse is also made of leather, the same color like the outside. This is not a very common thing but I have to admit I like it.
I have to say that this Celine Mini Luggage replica bag is one of the best choices I ever made when it comes to replica handbags. There is no way anybody can tell the difference between these two beautiful replica bags and the genuine ones. They are perfectly replicated and once again my friends from pursevalley did not disappoint me.

READ: Fendi 3 Baguette Bag
Well, how about we shrink the Baguette Bag, to the size like uhh… the micro. I mean, like our previous post about the Prada Mini Galleria Bag – everything that is once large, must ultimately turned into something… small.

Street Snaps: Nastassja Kinski Carries Chanel Micro Mini Flap Bag
I am not a wine expert, but I'd know that some wines get more expensive as it gets older. People claim that as the wine ages, it tastes better. I do not know much about wines, but I do know that a Chanel vintage bag increases in value as the time passes, especially if they are in good condition. Former German actress and model Nastassja Kinski was spotted carrying a Chanel Micro Mini quilted Flap bag, a vintage version that's hard to find. As you look closer, the CC logo is embellished on the top of the flap, it's bigger than the modern Chanel classic flap bag. Shape is a bit more round instead of squared but has the similar interwoven chain links. Nastasja beautifully matched the bag with a purple dress, golden ring and bracelet. Do you like vintage Chanel bags?

Christmas Contemplations
It's my hope that the Christmas season for you will be such a time. However, the reality for many is that the Christmas season will be one of stress, anxiety and family squabbles as "Uncle Fred" once again drinks too much and brings up the dirty laundry of the family over Christmas lunch.
So what do the Christmas holidays mean to you? Are they a chance to spend time with family and friends away from the work environment? A much anticipated time that you are very much looking forward to, or are they a time you slightly dread? A time that you would prefer to spend in solitude?
My Christmas message to you is to just take each day for what it is. Hold tightly to the important things and loosely to the things that aren't. The trick is in figuring out what's not important. If you can change the things you don't like, do. If you can't, then pray for the strength of character to be graceful under stress.
I recently I came upon a list of "rules for success" which I think could help us to change our lives for the better. I've never been one for New Year's resolutions, but as we say goodbye to 2016 and move toward 2017, I thought I'd share some salient pieces of wisdom. If lived well, how much happier could we all be, and then the "Uncle Fred's" of this world would have no power to cause us stress.
Thank you all for being a part of our 2016. We at the Parkinson Chiropractic and Musculoskeletal Centre look forward to being of service and friendship to you again in 2017.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Duane and the Team.

The Baby Boom, the Baby Bust, and the Housing Market
44 Pages Posted: 14 Jan 2001 Last revised: 22 Aug 2010
Date Written: December 1988
This paper examines the impact of major demographic changes on the housing market in the United States. The entry of the Baby Boom generation into its house-buying years is found to be the major cause of the increase in real housing prices in the l97Os. Since the Baby Bust generation is now entering its house-buying years, housing demand will grow more slowly in the 1990s than in any time in the past forty years. If the historical relation between housing demand and housing prices continues into the future, real housing prices will fall substantially over the next two decades.

Championship round-up: Leeds held, Brentford up to second
Leeds draw but stay top while Brentford move up to second in Sky Bet Championship as Middlesbrough lose
Last Updated: 16/09/18 7:40pm
Jack Harrison scored a late equaliser as leaders Leeds preserved their unbeaten start to the season following a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Millwall at the Den.
Jed Wallace broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half when he got on the end of Jake Cooper's flick-on to convert in off the woodwork.
But Harrison, on loan from Manchester City, levelled with a low shot into the bottom corner with a minute remaining before Tom Elliott headed against the inside of the post for the Lions in stoppage time.
Middlesbrough, who began the day sitting second only on goal difference, suffered their first defeat as they went down 1-0 to Norwich at Carrow Road. Brentford took advantage of Boro's slip-up as they moved into second place after beating 10-man Wigan 2-0 at Griffin Park, where they have a 100 per cent record.
Bristol City are now third after Marley Watkins headed in an 81st-minute winner as they beat Sheffield United 1-0 at Ashton Gate. Manager Frank Lampard was sent to the stands as Derby's three-game winning run came to an end after they lost 1-0 to Rotherham at New York Stadium.
Swansea climbed into sixth after a goalless draw at home to Nottingham Forest, who drew for the fifth time in seven league games.
Goals from Marco Matias and Barry Bannan helped Sheffield Wednesday hit back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Stoke, for whom Benik Afobe had netted twice in the first 22 minutes.
Reading moved off the bottom after a 3-2 win at Preston, Leandro Bacuna scoring an 81st-minute winner, while goals from Jarrod Bowen and Jackson Irvine helped Hull beat Ipswich 2-0 and end a run of six successive home defeats in all competitions.
QPR made it three wins in a row as they won 2-1 at Bolton, who avoided administration this week. Luke Freeman and Eberechi Eze scored before Josh Magennis' consolation.
Blackburn drew 1-1 with Aston Villa in the late game.

Since started working, I've been suffering with this occurring lower back pain. Until last year that I've consulted an Ortho. The diagnosis was--I have an exagerration of the curve of the lumbar lordosis.
When looking at a person from the side with most of their clothes off, these natural curves can be seen. When the low back curves too far in, a person looks "swaybacked." This condition is called lumbar lordosis. Too much of a curve in the low back puts pressure on the entire back. This can lead to pain and poor movement.
I've been looking for the cure for my ailment and I have encountered the terms acupunture, chiropractor and recently the dorn method. With acupunture, I have to be inserted with needles for the chi to flow--eventually curing the ailment.
Chiropractor (called "uwing" in Bulacan) treats its patient by manually adjusting the spinal column. Some use water, light, massage, ultrasound, electric, acupuncture, and heat therapy. Chiropractors counsel patients about wellness concepts such as nutrition, exercise, changes in lifestyle, and stress management, but do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery.
Then my attention came to the Dorn Method (an alternative to Chiropractor). The corrections of joint or spinal cord misalignments is always done in a 'dynamic' moving action. Our muscles will always try to hold the positions of the joints and spine and when they are out of order the muscles assumes this 'wrong' position as the correct one and hold it there. A static correction e.g. chiropractic, is difficult since it needs to overcome the strength of the holding muscles and the patient is often quite tense since the treatment is done ´on´ him and not ´with´ him..
The Dorn Method can be called a 'gentle' Method and NO harm can be done to the patient because the correction pressure is stopped as soon as ANY Pain arises.
...Sounds scary, but I think this is the only answer to my ancient problem. I'm planning to try it this 19th. I've already inquired to a center that offers the Dorn Method.
I just hope the 1,200 payment is worth it...


text: Though I found the other museum more interesting because of its artistic appeals, this museum reminded me of the importance of environmentalism. Getting educated about global warming and climate change is of huge importance today and we need to realize that in order for the future to enjoy what we currently do, we need to protect Earth. We need to get rid of our selfishness and help those who will live here long after we depart.

Procol HarumMusic CD - 2015
Top gear (Radio program)
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Originally released back in 1968 - "Procol Harum" was the self-titled debut album of the pioneer prog-rockers, Procol Harum, who emerged (momentarily) onto the music scene during the latter-part of the 1960's "British Invasion".
Jumping onto the psychedelic bandwagon that was moving along at full-force during this period in rock music history - This album, surprisingly enough, received more attention in Canada and the USA, than it did in the UK, and the rest of Europe.
This offering is a reissue. It is presented on a 2-disc set that contains the album's 10 original tracks, plus 13 bonus tracks of extended versions and stereo remixes... (*Watch music-video*)
Released in September 1967 - "Procol Harum" would be the debut studio album by English rock band Procol Harum.
This CD contains all 10 original songs, plus 8 bonus tracks, as well.
A WHITER SHADE OF PALE is a song that epitomizes rock artistry. The Beatles dug this song.
Procol Harum's first album is simply one of the best albums of the 1970's. "A Lighter Shade of Pale" was the big hit on the album. Don't overlook the rest of the cuts though. This is a top notch British Rock Band!

The Queen Bee and I were walking through a design shop one day, and I stopped and looked at some chairs that were on display. I said, "This is the kind of chair that I would like to have in my dining room". She agreed that they were pretty, and that they looked like my tastes and something I would pick. Some weeks later, she called me and said "I've been thinking about those dining chairs, and I think you could get that look from the dining chairs that you have stored in your attic". I said "I have dining chairs stored in my attic"? I'm not proud to admit I had forgotten they were up there. In my defense, they were in the farthest back corner away from the stairs along with other unused furniture. Once we were done with our conversation I went up into the attic, and sure enough, there were the chairs.
I am lucky in that the Q.B. is very creative, she is an artist, a partner in crime, and always game for any caper. My significant other went on a business trip and Queenie came to stay with me…and it was on.
We retrieved the lonely (did I mention rather ugly), forgotten chairs from the attic. We took my current dining chairs to the attic, and we went to work. I had bought paint, some liquid sandpaper, some fabric to recover the seats, and a liner fabric.
First we removed the seats from the chairs and removed the 1960's fabric from the seat a lovely orange, avocado green, and harvest gold brocade…yikes. Next we wiped the chair frame down completely with the liquid sand paper and let them dry. This stuff is great if you are just wanting to rough up the surface so it will take paint, especially if it is hard to sand with traditional sandpaper. Which these weren't particularly, I just wanted to be lazy. We painted the frames with Glidden Muslin White with a satin finish. I picked a satin finish because I felt since they were dining chairs and would be around food they would be easier to clean and disinfect.
Next, we lined the seats with a neutral fabric, this step really isn't necessary, but I had picked a very light print fabric for the seat and wanted to line it. It's kind of the same concept as having a lined drapery. I also thought it might help the fabric wear better as it was for a chair seat. We fastened the lining fabric in place with staples. Then we repeated the step with the printed seat fabric. Taking the fabric print, we planned and laid out our intended design, and aligned it on the seat. You need to cut the fabric larger than the seat so that you have enough to fold over and staple onto the underside of the seat. Next we smoothed out the fabric, design side down, and put the seat underside facing up on top of the fabric. Then we took the fabric, in the middle of one of the long sides of the seat, and stapled it on the underside (the side facing up). We repeated this on the opposite long side pulling the fabric taut. The next step is the middle of the short sides, one then the other, just as you did the long sides. Once the long and short sides are stapled in place, I like to do opposite corners. This way I'm always doing opposites and pulling the fabric so I get everything centered and smooth. Once I have done that, I finish stapling all the way around and trim off the excess material if any.
At this point, if I were ambitious, I would have lined the bottom to make it look pretty and hide the staples, but it's just for me so I left the underside "raw". Now we were ready to re-attach the seats back onto the frame. One little tip. Make sure when you are stapling that you do not cover over the holes on the underside of the chair, because if you do it will be problematic when you go to attach the seats back to the frame.
I hope you enjoy the picture of the finished product. The Queen Bee was right. They do give me the look that I wanted in my dining room. Until next time, stay creative, stay open to looking at things with fresh eyes, and above all stay glamorous.

Why Article 35A must stay
Kashmir stood out in one grand, standalone adventure to reject the idea of separation based on religion. In the post-colonial nation-building effort, that was the most exciting experiment which offered the national leadership of Gandhi and Nehru some basis to retrieve their secular credentials after having been a party to the Partition. It was also the first instance in the 1,400 years of Islam that an overwhelmingly Muslim entity had given itself up to a non-Muslim country of continental size, defying the logic of Partition which unfortunately continues till this day as the defining discourse of India.
To assuage the apprehensions of being swamped in a country which was still a hundred times larger than it in population, constitutional guarantees were built into the relationship as it grew from romance to disillusionment, subterfuge to hostility. The people of the state, Muslims in particular, got to know that the architects of accession were actually trying to trick each other rather than building a nation which could work as a bulwark against the tempestuous forces that were in the womb of time.
As the Supreme Court of India heads towards a decision on the validity of Article 35A of the Constitution of India, this perspective is deliberately kept out of the discourse. It is lost in hateful rants on evening TV shows with the result that Kashmir illiteracy at the national level is now competing with the learning standards of our government schools. To youngsters in the country, Kashmir is at best the abode of Amarnath or a place inhabited by an ungrateful, dangerous species.
This won't be the first judicial challenge to the constitutional scheme governing J&K to safeguard local laws of the state, mainly the "state subject law" which was introduced by Maharaja Hari Singh in 1927. This law came in response to apprehensions which prevailed then among the Dogras of Jammu and Kashmiri Pandits having monopoly over government jobs and landed estates about the Punjabi Muslim elite which had started acquiring land and poached on jobs in J&K. After Independence, it became the only tool of residents of J&K to safeguard their identity but many in the rest of the country could not sympathise with this genuine feeling. So it came under judicial challenge time and again but stood the test even of a five-judge constitutional bench.
The heightened apprehension this time owes to the fact that, unlike on previous occasions, the Union government is not defending the case but has left it to the court. That can be attributed to the ruling BJP's agenda of scrapping the special status of the state altogether. The state government under the PDP organised the best possible legal defence but the governor's administration, in spite of NN Vohra's deep understanding of the sensitivity of the issue and his empathetic stance, is generally seen as an extension of the Union government. So it seems to an ordinary citizen of the state a lost case, which it may not be, given its strong legal standing.
Whatever the history of this arrangement, there are many contemporary factors that must be seen and considered to reach a modern understanding. In Assam 40 lakh people are sought to be robbed of citizenship rights to address the sensitivities of other citizens of Assam: Demographic change. If there is a citizenship register for the country, which is good, why can't a state under the same constitutional scheme have its own citizenship register? If Bangladeshis, actually east Pakistanis, can be thrown out, why does someone insist that west Pakistanis should be given citizenship of a state in violation of its law?
The state subject law has served J&K and the country better than its absence would have. The state is a collage of ethnicities, all of which have flourished in a model that should guide other states. Just an example: J&K has almost the same ratio of Muslim and non-Muslim population in reverse order as that of West Bengal. Look at the services of both states for a fair assessment of that claim.
In J&K, non-Muslims outnumber Muslims in the elite Kashmir Administrative Service, which we celebrate. The state secretariat is a unique building in today's fractured, exclusivist world, housing officials and clients from all major religions in right proportions, not mirroring symbolic representation like our national institutions. There are just a few thousand Shina speaking Dards, Pushtos, Baltis, Hindu Gaddis, nomadic Bakarwals. A mere 1.5 lakh Buddhists of Ladakh occupy a seat, as they must in all federal structures, at par with Jammu and Ladakh. The flood gates that could open with an influx from the mainland will definitely wipe these small entities out.
Finally, scrapping of the special laws would close the last opening for reconciliation in Kashmir and therefore in South Asia. Handing out a final defeat to people of the state at the hands of their own country would come in a situation where even status quo could mean victory for them, so necessary for redeeming the 70 year-old jumla of winning hearts and minds of Kashmir.
Their Lordships are the only hope in preventing that disaster as their peers have done in the past. It may only be a judicial issue, but in it could be seeds of the future — whether we continue planting chinars in Kashmir or thorny bushes from the scorched plains of the country.

What is EVERYONE talking about?!?
(The day's hottest topics, of course...)
Okay, so we all knew KG was a little intense. We even knew he was maybe just a little bit crazy, but I don't think a lot of people have singled Kevin Garnett out as a particularly dirty player over his career. However, now he has Quentin Richardson, Joakim Noah, and the NBA's disciplinary office all making the accusation at the same time. Like they say, the NBA playoffs don't start until things start getting a little heated.
Really, this story reminds me of an anti-smoking campaign. A few days ago, Iceland started smoking. It has had a very negative effect on everyone around them, but they just can't quit, and they keep smoking. Then they started dropping ash on everyone. They ignored the flight attendants warnings that you can't smoke on airplanes, so thousands of flights have been delayed since Iceland started smoking. Anyways, if they are even half as impatient as America travelers, I am sure there are a lot of people in Europe that will come away from this weekend hating volcanoes.
I think Barack Obama can relate to Goldman Sachs a little bit. They have both been accused of being frauds by critics. The only difference: Mr. Obama's critics are fueled by emotion (or ignorance), while Goldman's critics appear to be fueled by facts. Well, as Goldman faces fraud charges from the SEC, President Obama faces his own tough battle ahead on reforming the regulation of our financial industry, as the GOP seems to have made it clear they will not agree with any plan formulated by Obama unless it includes full repeal of the healthcare plan and impeachment of Obama himself.
Spirit Airlines got a clear signal from its major airline competition yesterday as American, Delta, United, JetBlue, and US Airways promised that they would not be charging for carry-on baggage as Spirit Airlines announced it would. The five airlines then issued a thank you note to Spirit for taking the heat for a plan that I am sure they all originally intended to introduce within the next month or so. Also, just so you know, they will be tacking the lost revenue from the carry-on fee directly onto your ticket, and you will no longer receive meals in-flight.
While most of the press leading up to this weekend's box office releases went to the regular-people-become-superheros movie Kick-Ass, an instructional film about, I guess, uh, training dragons, called How To Train Your Dragon edged them to become the weekend's top earning movie. If only the two movies had combined to make one super movie called Kick-Ass Dragon, I'm sure they would have shattered box office records.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates issued a memo to the White House in January warning them that they did not have an effective long-term plan in place for dealing with Iran and potential nuclear capabilities. The White House apparently responded that we will be so far in debt by that point, that Iran will be the least of our concerns.
Go ahead and type Tracy Morgan into Google and search news results. What you won't find is a singular interesting headline about Mr. Morgan. What you will find are several headlines ranging from interesting to bizarre. Apparently, the 30 Rock star aka Brian Fellows, is starring in a movie with Chris Rock and Danny Glover, owns a Michael Jackson original jewelled glove, won't watch Spiderman because Tobey Maguire owes him money, and claims he knows that Elin Woods knew Tiger was cheating on her. Other than that, I don't have anything new to report on Tracy Morgan.
In case you missed last night's American Country Music awards, they were held last night, and handed out awards to some of Country's most popular current artists. I'm sure Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks and uh, Dolly Parton were all there, but I can't tell you much more than that. The best news out of the Awards: it meant a lot of Tea Party activists stayed in last night to watch instead of holding another one of those repetitive protests.
Even more breaking news here: the New York Times reports that exercise cannot only help you become healthier and get in better shape, but it may also help you lose weight. It wasn't reported in the article, but it is believed that eating better, taking care of yourself, and good hygiene also appear to play important roles in health. Conspiracy theorists say this is just the government's way of distracting us from their deceitful actions.
It appears that 4 out of 5 people mistrust the government, which may sound high, but it's really probably not that far from average. However, a full 10 out of 10 said they mistrust any poll about mistrust, making this poll somewhat irrelevant.
Drop that FRESH knowledge!

Microsoft has deleted a portion of a commercial for its new Kin phone, believing it promoted "sexting." It appears it was too little, too late, however, as millions of middle schoolers immediately rushed out to buy the phone.

The 18.5km climb up to the Superbagnères ski station may be less well known than the likes of the Tourmalet or Aubisque but it's still very much part of cycling history – It was the scene of Robert Millar's stage win in the 1989 Tour de France that put him in the polka dot jersey. Although the 6.3 per cent average gradient can often lull you into a false sense of security, this is mainly due to the gradual first half of the climb that also includes a short downhill section. The climb really starts to show its authority with 9km to go as the thermal spa town of Bagnères-de-Luchon. Surrounded by multiple 3,000m peaks, the panoramic views are truly breathtaking on a clear day as the road continually snakes its way up ahead.

Housing, the cost of living and public schools were some of the top issues in The Times editorial board's first reader-driven Q.-and-A. session with the New York mayoral candidates.
Also: killer storms, transportation (subways and bikes), the environment, policing and civil liberties.
This is the first year that the editorial board asked readers to participate in its endorsement interviews. It's our longheld practice to meet privately, one at a time, with each candidate (no advisers, flaks, cameras or recorders). The interview is "off the record," meaning that we promise not to publish what the candidate says, unless he or she later agrees to it.
We think this makes for a more open and useful discussion, and helps prevent (though not eliminate) canned, fake or too-guarded answers.
But this time we added a few on-the-record minutes to the end of the closed-door session. We put two questions to the candidates. One, a request for a simple idea to improve the city's quality of life, was for everybody to answer. The other they picked at random from a list of about two dozen. (They drew paper slips from an New York Times coffee mug.) We recorded the answers and have posted them, gently edited for space and clarity.
We heard from 138 readers, mostly from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, but from the Bronx and Staten Island, too. The questions, as we expected, were excellent. They were braced against platitudes and evasion: "Please be specific, no generalizations," one readers said, surely speaking for all of us.
Here's a good example from Mary Travers of Manhattan: "Please give a concrete idea for the education of the public school student — not charter or private-school students and not an idea that involves the classroom teacher — that should help result in a living-wage paycheck for that student."
The randomness of the process meant that some great questions didn't get asked, sadly. How the candidates performed is for you to decide. But here's what we think.
Joseph Lhota and Christine Quinn gave excellent replies when asked for "one simple idea" to make the city better. Anthony Weiner and George McDonald did not. Bill de Blasio struggled with the simple-idea question, Adolfo Carrion all but filibustered and John Catsimatidis let his thoughts wander far, far afield. When asked about specific issues in the city, Sal Albanese had a concrete, concise answer, as did John Liu. Nobody did as poorly as Erick Salgado, whose campaign got its signals crossed, and who missed the interview.

KandyPens 350 mAh Battery Review
The KandyPens 350 mAh Battery is a 510 thread "plug and play" battery that is designed specifically for oil cartridges that require a higher output voltage. It has some advanced features such as variable voltage and sesh mode, but it is still very simple to use. A triple coated lacquer paint and an embossed KandyPens logo makes this battery look sleek and luxurious, and it feels solid- inline with other KP products. Simple, capable, this is definitely one of the best 510 batteries around.
KandyPens 350 mAh Battery Background
The KandyPens 350 mAh Battery ($34.95 directly from KandyPens, coupon code TVG25 provides a 25% discount) is a simple, easy to use battery for all the THC oil and CBD cartridges that are the rage these days. It's a nice alternative to the dedicated oil vaporizers and it matches up well with any other 510 battery.
What's in the Kit
- KandyPens 350 mAh Battery
- USB charger
Noteworthy Features
- Compatible w/ 510 threaded CBD and THC cartridges
- Designed specifically for oil cartridges that require a higher output voltage
- Three voltage levels: Green – 3.7V | Blue – 3.9V | Red – 4.1V
- Sesh mode: the battery can stay active for a short session
- Solid, luxurious design
- Retails for $34.95 directly from KandyPens, TVG's exclusive KandyPens Coupon Code will save you 25% on every purchase
This is a pretty simple battery, but it is exactly what most 510 cartridge users will want, something uncomplicated that they can use whenever they want. It's small enough to fit into any pocket alongside your favorite 510 cartridges. However, it's just large enough to make vaping that cartridge feel comfortable when it is attached to the battery.
The Battery has triple coated lacquer paint that makes it feel sleek and smooth, and an embossed logo. It feels just as solid as KandyPens other products and follows their luxurious style.
How It Is Used
- Screw the 510 cartridge onto the battery.
- Press the power button 5x to turn on the battery.
- Select the voltage level from one of the presets.
- Once the voltage is reached, inhale from the mouthpiece of the cartridge.
How It Performs
The battery makes a great companion to any 510 cartridge, whether that cartridge is from Hemp Bombs, Sun State, or Gold Line, it works well with all of them. The flavor profiles are distinct and the variable voltage settings provide some nice customization options. Portability isn't uncommon among 510 batteries, but it is still great that the 350 mAh battery is always there when I need it. It lasts a long time and is just a really solid battery all around.
The Last Word
The KandyPens 350 mAh battery ($34.95 directly from KandyPens, use coupon code TVG25 to save 25%) is a solid, easy to use battery that won't let you down. It has everything we look for in a 510 battery- sesh mode, feels solid & luxurious, powerful, and a very fair price tag.
Thanks for reading my KandyPens 350 mAh battery review, whether you're a veteran 510 vaper or a newbie, whether you prefer CBD or prefer THC cartridges, this is a great battery for anyone that can handle anything. As long as it's 510 threaded of course.

What does the Bible say about healing? In this volume, respected biblical scholar Frederick Gaiser offers a close theological reading of biblical texts on health and healing, that engage questions of contemporary theological and pastoral concern. Gaiser considers 15 key Old and New Testament passages, examining their significance for the church's understanding of healing and its ministry today. He explores issues such as God's role in healing; the relationship between healing and prayer; the place of healing in biblical theology; God's healing and medical science; the healing work of Jesus; healing, salvation, and cure; the relationship between sickness and sin; and healing under the sign of the cross. The final chapter draws together insights from the various chapters and summarizes Gaiser's findings.
Healing in the Bible offers fresh insights for anyone interested in Christian views on healing, from professors and students in Bible, theology, and pastoral ministry courses to thoughtful lay readers and pastors.
The Logos Bible Software edition of Healing in the Bible: Theological Insight for Christian Ministry is designed to encourage and stimulate your study and understanding of the Bible. Scripture passages link directly to your English translations and original-language texts, and important theological concepts link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. In addition, you can perform powerful searches by topic and find what other authors, scholars, and theologians have to say about interpreting the Bible.
Frederick Gaiser has written a book that everyone interested in the intersection of theology and health needs to read. This is the work of a skilled exegete who is intimately familiar with the biblical stories of God's healing acts. Gaiser reminds us that all of our theological reflection concerning health ought to begin with and account for the biblical narrative. I look forward to the opportunity to use this book in my own teaching and scholarship.
—Joel James Shuman, professor of theology, King's College
Frederick Gaiser has a great instinct and gift for moving to and fro in the space between the contemporary world and the biblical text. He began this book in Africa, and although he does not keep referring to that, one can see the way it shaped and resourced the 'conversation' between our contemporary world(s) and the Bible's world. He keeps chewing at the text, seeking to be fully open to it, precisely because it comes from a different world and thus has the power to illumine our world. Every chapter is illuminating.
—John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary
What an enormous grasp of issues of health Frederick Gaiser demonstrates in this book as he moves easily between stories of Zimbabwe, biblical exegesis, and applications for twenty-first-century Christians. Gaiser's volume on the wide variety of literature in the Bible about healing is obviously the result of many years of committed research and contemplation; readers will be amazed at the range of his erudition and the depth of his faith. I am very grateful for his insightfully inspiring work.
—Marva J. Dawn, teaching fellow in spiritual theology, Regent College
Fred Gaiser herein offers a collection of insightful essays on the difficult issues related to healing. These chapters bear the marks of long and deep reflection. Students and professionals alike will benefit from these close and clear studies. They ring true to the scriptural texts, are sensitive to the pastoral context, and bring a sure theological hand throughout.
—Terence E. Fretheim, Elva B. Lovell Professor of Old Testament, Luther Seminary
With his careful analysis of healing stories in the Bible, Professor Gaiser has given us a great gift. He reminds us that healing is always tied up in the mystery and wonder of relationships—with our self, with our community, and with God–and that health depends on the wholeness of both individuals and communities. As we work to reform and improve health care in America, we would do well to keep these lessons in mind.
—James F. Hart, adjunct assistant professor, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota
This is an excellent work that reflects on healing in the Bible and its potential meaning for the healing ministry today. . . . [Gaiser] draws a summary of the fundamental principles and values about healing that are reflected in the Scriptures and connects them in a thoughtful and practical way to the Christian ministry of healing today, both in its professional and scientific expressions and in more ordinary therapeutic encounters.
—The Bible Today
Gaiser generates lively exegetical conversations by offering fresh insights on tough questions. . . . Given the current political tensions from health care to global suffering, Gaiser produces a careful, balanced, and imaginative work for anyone interested in Christian views of healing.
—Religious Studies Review
Frederick J. Gaiser is a professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary, where he has taught for more than 30 years. He is also the editor of Word & World, one of the top theological journals in North America.

Ariodante: A masterpiece of innovation and renewal

If you had bought tickets to the Canadian Opera Company's production of Ariodante expecting to see an opera by Handel set in Edinburgh's castle with its Renaissance furnishings, royal trappings, stylized dancing and costumes from a distant past, you would have been in for a surprise yesterday. The opera at the Four Seasons Centre has turned Ariodante on its ear and presented a bold fresh face to this 18th century masterpiece.
Director Richard Jones placed the opera in the mid-twentieth century in a small, remote, strict, protestant village on an island in the Outer Hebrides complete with its own king. This community of simple people with a strict moral code was in need of a male heir to the throne. Thus the king's daughter had to find a suitable husband. By giving believability to the characters while maintaining a stylized choreography, Jones created a music drama that kept tension building throughout its four-hour duration. The opera was a disturbing look at contemporary societal issues of sexual abuse, hypocrisy, intolerance, community judgment, and personal integrity.
Any kind of drama demands that the audience suspend disbelief in order to be emotionally engaged in the events on stage. There is a lot to disbelieve in Ariodante, beginning with the notion of a small island off Scotland with its own king, women playing the roles of men, choreographed movement, invisible doors and the inevitable pauses in action stretching through endlessly long 'da capo' arias. It's a tribute to the development of the characters that the opera succeeded in creating a viscerally emotional response.
Set and costume designer, ULTZ used just one set, a rustic village home, but very cleverly divided the action into three rooms separated by invisible walls and doors. An aria was often sung in one part of the house, while the action and psychology of the drama moved forward in an adjoining room. ULTZ gave the characters a simplicity in their homespun clothes which fit with their strict moral and religious adherence.

Ginevra and Dalinda, played by Canadian sopranos Jane Archibald and Ambur Braid were superb both vocally and dramatically.
Had the opera ended as Handel intended with the villain dead and the others enjoying a happy ever after conclusion, the themes of Jones' interpretation would have been lost. At one point toward the end of the third act, it felt like an impending 'Gilbert and Sullivan' ending would leave the couples resolving all their differences. However, Jones brilliantly found a way to leave the audience with more to consider by his brilliant ending.
Although Baroque opera may seem like a stretch for many who may think they prefer the 19th century masterpieces, yesterday's performance may have convinced those in attendance of its accessibility as well as its emotional and musical appeal. We are fortunate that in an age of globalization, the COC has been able to co-operate with three other opera companies in Aix-en-Provence, Amsterdam and Chicago to share in the creation of remarkable productions such as Ariodante and thus bring world-class works to Toronto.
Mezzo-soprano Varduhi Abrahamyan was remarkably powerful in the role of the villain Polinesso, the scheming priest dressed in denim and tattoos under his clerical vestments. The role is often done with a counter-tenor in hopes of giving it a more masculine character. However, Abrahamyan was totally convincing. Watching her performance, it was hard to believe that her last roles had been as the seductress Carmen.
Tenor Owen McCausland portrayed a strong brother to Ariodante both in his singing and acting. Bass Joannes Weisser sang convincingly with his rich sonorous voice giving authority to his role as King and moral leader of the village.
Jones dispensed with the ballet sequences intended for the end of each act imaginatively replacing them with puppets in creative dream sequences. Ginevra's dream of her descent into prostitution and pole dancing was at once hilarious and poignant as carried out by the puppets and their masterful puppeteers.
The opera is incredibly demanding both vocally and orchestrally. Johannes Debus was brilliant in conducting his first opera composed by Handel. Debus found a baroque style and spirit that enhanced the singing and contributed to the drama. We are indeed fortunate to have a virtuosic orchestra as adaptable as the COC Orchestra to realize such an exposed score in a convincing manner.
Ariodante is nothing without a superb cast of singers. Handel's vocal lines are always in tune with the emotions of the characters. Each of the characters portrayed a superb understanding of their role. The ornamented coloratura arias charmed and seduced the audience.
Alice Coote delivered a heart-wrenching performance in the title role. Her singing of the 'Scherzo infida" aria left me feeling her anguish as though it were my own. It would be an understatement to say that she was successful in creating a sympathetic character.

A packed programme of fun for all will take place in Kirkcaldy's Town Square in the three-day run up to, and including, Hogmanay.
The Festival of Township's Twixmas event will run from Friday, December 29 to Sunday, December 31 and is being led by Kirkcaldy YMCA in partnership with Linton Lane Centre, supported by Fife Council and Kitty's nightclub.
The festival aims to provide activities that will appeal to families, giving them something fun to do between Christmas and New Year, often a time when people don't have a lot of money to spare.
Liz Easton, general manager of the YM, said: "We are hoping that the evening ticketed events will generate enough income to cover the costs of the family activities during the day.
"The collecting tins will be shaking around the marquee throughout the day and hopefully people will make a donation towards the cost."
During the day there will be a wide range of activities for children and families including arts and crafts, face painting, cup cake decorating, a mini zoo and children's entertainers, all free.
On the Friday night there will be a family ceilidh with young ceilidh band Lost Shores and dancers from the Danielle Law School of Dance.
The cost is only £5 per family, and tickets are available from Linton Lane Centre and Kirkcaldy YMCA.
Saturday will be a packed live music night, headlined by Kyle Falconer, front man of The View, and three local bands, Root System, Oskar Braves and Break the Butterfly.
Tickets are on sale at Skiddle.com at £15.
On Hogmanay the marquee will invite people to bring in the bells with popular Kirkcaldy band The Columbos.
The evening will be compered by John Murray of the town's K107fm, with guest appearances by Kirkcaldy & District Pipe Band and dancers from Sarah Hendry School of Dance.
Tickets priced £12 are available from the YMCA, Linton Lane Centre and Kitty's.
Councillor Neil Crooks, chairman of the Kirkcaldy area committee, said: " We've enjoyed several events in the Town Square and the Twixmas activity delivers the strong public desire for a Hogmanay party combined with family entertainment. Let's have a ball and be led into 2018 with the brilliant Colombos."

High School Sports
Northeast misses at the buzzer, comes up short at state
Northeast guard Cabria Lee thought the ball was going in.
So did her coach Zach Gillion.
It didn't.
And for the Hurricanes that meant an early exit from the state tournament Thursday following a 47-46 loss to Fort Walton Beach at The Lakeland Center in a Class 7A semifinal.
"I really thought it was going in," said Lee, a junior point guard. "The defense gave me an opening and I just took it all the way."
With 6.4 seconds left and no timeouts, Lee took an in-bounds pass and dribbled the length of the court, evading defenders and finding a lane to the basket. She got the shot off in time, but the ball hit the backboard and then grazed the side of the rim and out.
Northeast (13-9) was left without a trip to the state finals for the second year in a row.
And this time, Gillion would have been able to coach.
Gillion, a Seventh-Day Adventist, a religion that observes the Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, couldn't coach last year's state final when the Hurricanes lost to Fort Myers.
The Florida High School Athletic Association moved this Saturday's final to 8 p.m. to accommodate the Hurricanes.
"I'm happy the FHSAA put us in the position for me to be out there had we won," Gillion said. "It didn't turn out that way, but I'm still happy about this season."
Northeast trailed by nine in the fourth quarter before using a 7-0 run to narrow the gap. Kandis Taylor's score with 26.9 seconds left tied the game at 46. But Yvonne Ford drove to the basket, drew a foul and then hit one free throw to put Fort Walton Beach (25-3) in front for good.
Well before Lee's would-be game winner missed, Northeast was beaten soundly in the rebounding category by the Vikings.
The Hurricanes were out-rebounded 46-27 overall and 22-8 on offensive boards.
"That was the only stat I wrote on the board [in the locker room] after the game," Gillion said. "It's been our Achilles heel all year and they did a great job exploiting that."
Northeast altered its style of play at the start of the season after its top frontcourt players graduated in order to accentuate the productivity of their talented guards. The Hurricanes started the season 1-6.
But following their victory over Class 9A semifinalist Boca Raton at the Florida Prospects Tournament in December, Gillion said everything clicked for his team. Northeast won 12 of 14 games prior to Thursday's season-ending loss. And this despite playing a very short rotation with only an eight-player roster and guard Isabella Lopez playing despite a fractured hand.
"It was her last game and she said she wasn't sitting this one out," Gillion said. "It took some adjusting early on as far as our system and personalities. After we gelled, everything came together."
NE (13-9): Pluviose 9, Lee 7, Taylor 13, Austin 10, Lopez 7. FWB (25-3): McLeod 6, Ford 11, Payton 17, Davenport 3, Gilliam 8, Turner 2. Half: FWB 16-15. Three-pointers: Austin 2, Gilliam 2, Pluviose, Taylor, Lopez, Payton, Davenport. Rebounds: Ford 15. Assists: Taylor 4. Steals: Payton 3.
