Operas wrapped up in gold
Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona
Spain presents opera with a golden lining. These are the theatres themselves. They will make sure you enjoy the show to the full, in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Oviedo, and Bilbao. A wide range of first-class opera, and unique settings for you to enjoy the art in every sense. Come to Spain and discover its great opera houses.
If you like the opera, then take note: The Teatro Real Theatre in Madrid, the Gran Liceu Theatre in Barcelona, the Campoamor Theatre in Oviedo, the Palau de les Arts in Valencia or the Euskalduna Jauregia Conference and Music Centre in Bilbao. Having trouble deciding? Organise a tour and follow the whole season. You will love it.
Royal opera
The Teatro Real Theatre in Madrid has been delighting the most demanding opera enthusiasts for years. It is a worldwide reference for the quality of the performances, the success of the shows, and also for the building's location opposite the Royal Palace and Plaza de Oriente square. A unique setting in the Los Austrias area of Madrid - you can enjoy all its splendour during the interval. Head up to the Café de Palacio on the sixth floor of the theatre, and amidst paintings on loan from the Reina Sofía Museum, you will discover a stunning view, with La Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace to round off a night packed with sensations.
A little more? An Italian-style hall with universally acclaimed acoustics, along with imposing rooms such as the Vergara, with its 18th-century oil paintings. Come and join the thousands of people from all over the world who have felt the excitement of the Real .
Tradition and prestige
More than 160 years ago, the city of Barcelona founded its Gran Teatro del Liceu Theatre. If you haven't been yet, then now is the perfect time to discover it. If you have, then you are sure to come back - it is the visitors to this theatre that have given it international prestige and made it into one of Spain's most important centres for culture and artistic creation.
The theatre is not to be missed, not only on account of the quality works that are staged, but also due to its backing of innovation that maintains tradition, and for its modern style, to be seen in the very stage curtain, work of famous Catalonian designer Antonio Miró.
Innovation on the opera circuit
Come and discover one of the most innovative proposals to be found in the opera world. It is to be found at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia Theatre, in the city of Valencia. The building is set at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, within the emblematic Arts and Sciences Centre, a weird and wonderful complex designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, that aims to ensure opera-goers' enjoyment begins even before the curtain goes up.
Mix opera with something exotic. The result is very pleasant
We now recommend a visit to the capital of the Region of Asturias, - Oviedo, in northern Spain. Combine it with some art at the Campoamor Theatre, annual setting for the Príncipes de Asturias Awards; it is also the place where the brilliant Woody Allen explained why one should visit Oviedo: "I come from a huge, gigantic city with crowds and noise… and I get here where everything is old, clean and pleasant… exotic, as if it did not belong to this world". Can you imagine listening to the finest opera here? Come and see for yourself.
Opera with maritime flavour
This is what you will find in Bilbao, also in northern Spain. Come and enjoy opera at a building inspired in a ship run aground in the Nervión River: the Euskalduna Jauregia Conference and Music Centre. Located near to the Guggenheim Bilbao, it is the emblem of 21st-century Bilbao, and from its fourth-floor terrace you can see Plaza del Palacio square and a stunning view of the Maritime Museum. You will find its programme for this season very interesting too.
You can be sure. These five suggestions will ensure you enjoy excellent opera, but Spain has much more to offer. For example: the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Opera Festival, the Mozart Festival in A Coruña, the Santander International Festival and the season at La Maestranza Theatre in Seville. If you like opera, then come and enjoy it at Spain's great theatres.

Terrible quality, I paid $100 for this and threw it straight in the trash. Looks like it came off a cheap color printer. So disappointed.

Excellent photograph by Webb Canepa! Even the largest size available does not do the shot justice. Hopefully, the option for much larger sizes on metal and at least canvas will be available in the future

"Cupcakes just shouldn't be that color,"said my friend about my Avocado Lime Cupcakes knowing full well that any statement she made was liable to appear on this blog. She was willing to try them though. In fact, she ate a full three quarters of a cupcake. Yes, she and her boyfriend (of "I injured myself on a margarita cupcake fame") cut the cupcake into quarters because they were just that skeptical that they wouldn't like it.
While it may sound like I am mocking them, and that would be true, I actually have to give them props. Most people wouldn't even go so far as to taste this cupcake. They saw the green color and turned their noses. "Umm… I think I'll pass this time."
For some tasters, I turned it into a game. "Here's a cupcake. Guess the flavor." I actually had the most success with this group; people like a challenge. They couldn't guess that it was avocado lime, but they enjoyed the flavors. One woman insisted it was kiwi. Even after I told her it was avocado she still stood firm on her kiwi stance.
Growing up in NY, avocado was not a part of my diet. Like many Americans, I had tried guacamole, but never made the leap from that to think about the fruit that made the green blob on my plate. As I got more into sushi, avocado became the pretty splash of color in many of my favorite rolls, but again, it wasn't a flavor unto itself.
My largest avocado exposure was on my honeymoon in Ecuador. They know how to treat an avocado right. Every meal contained slices of fresh avocado. Even soup was always served with an avocado on top.
According to Wikipedia, "In Brazil and Vietnam, avocados are considered sweet fruits, so are frequently used for milk-shakes and occasionally added to ice cream and other desserts. In Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia, a dessert drink is made with sugar, milk, and pureed avocado." It's fascinating that other parts of the world think of avocados as a sweet dessert item. Why are we so limited in our avocado thinking?
My Seattle carrot cake loving friend actually made an avocado ice cream recently. He said it was quite good and his friends enjoyed it. Perhaps west coast eaters are more open to avocado adventures than Missouri folks. Unfortunately, I didn't get to taste the ice cream. He will get to taste my cupcakes though, since he'll be in MO this weekend. No fair.
Neurobiology experts say it is good for the brain to do things that are different from your daily routine. Since I wasn't sure if using Avocado differently really helped my brain, I decided to switch things up a little bit more by doing all my baking with one arm.
OK, I didn't do this as a neurobic exercise. I actually broke my elbow while on vacation in Colorado (for those that must know, I was riding a horse and the saddle fell off of it). That's me on the left. No, I can't see the break either, but apparently it is there. You can however, as a friend pointed out, see my underwire. Quite the strip tease, huh?
I probably wouldn't have bothered with one armed baking, but I really wanted to enter Quirky Cupcake's Cupcake Hero contest. The theme this month was lime and since I had planned my recipe already, I thought it would be a shame to not follow through. I was able to do the whole thing myself except for zesting. Can anyone think of a way to zest with only one arm? Anyway, not to sway the judging by playing the disability card, but baking with one arm certainly felt like a cupcake hero kind of thing to do.
And finally… it's time for the recipe. I made this recipe up myself based off of my apple and honey one. That recipe contained applesauce and I figured applesauce could easily be replaced by an avocado lime sauce. It worked! I also used two different frostings. The outer ring was an avocado frosting and the inner ring was a lime cream cheese frosting based on my favorite fool proof cream cheese frosting recipe. My favorite bites were the ones that had both frostings and the cake. It all went perfectly together.
Warning: It is a dense cupcake. Don't make it if you want light and fluffy. Also, don't make this if you are scared of green. If you want your friends to eat it, I'd recommend that you make this outside of the US or on the West coast.

Many people know Tina Chism from interning in the writing department for "The Cosby Show", she also penned the acclaimed hit 'Drumline' and 'ATL' for Warner Bros. Currently she is gearing up for her directorial debut with 'PEEPLES' which stars Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington. She recently sat down with a group of journalists to discuss the ins and outs to her start in this industry, the journey, and what's to come.
The following has been edited for continuity purposes.
Sargent: How was it like working as a writer with The Cosby Show?! Bill Cosby is such an inspiration to many, and has this 'mentor-like' feel, did working directly with him influence any of your views in this industry, improve your work, and help you in your career?
Chism: I was a freshman in college and the Cosby show came on TV and I knew this was exactly the comedy I wanted to be involved with. So with no experience, I wrote a TV script and mailed it to the Cosby show unsolicited. They called me and said you can't send scripts unsolicited, but asked me to be an intern in the writing department during my spring break. I came and saw a day of taping and stayed throughout the season.
I learned from Bill, as a black writer, the importance of nailing a joke. I also learned the importance of trying to enhance the world with cultural references to art as well as the profession of the characters; these were all major influences from Cosby himself.
I was very young when I got that experience on the Cosby Show, and I quickly realized I needed actual LIFE experiences to be able to write something. So I went traveling, covered different cities, etc. I needed to learn more about the world before I became a writer.
Sargent: Was directing something you always wanted to pursue?
Chism: I thought I would be content to be a screenwriter, but I quickly learned that a film is a director's medium if you wanted to control the material. With Peeples, as I was writing it, I wanted the setting to be a specific way, the cast and so on. As a writer, you have strong opinions and couldn't lend it to another director, so I knew I had to be the director.
Sargent: What were the steps/process to you achieving this goal?!
Chism: The first thing I did was talk to other writer/directors. Writers who took the leap to directing because our thought process and our reference to the script are very specific. I would talk to them about the movie that played in their head and how it would later translate to different elements of the film. I spent a lot of time just trying to understand that process…In addition to studying visual storytelling.
Sargent: How's it like working with Tyler Perry?!
Chism: Tyler was very supportive; he insisted on supporting my vision and my story to come through and if I needed him he would be there. The cast for Peeples is amazing! Could not imagine a better cast! How did you know who you wanted to cast for the film? Above being funny, I knew I wanted the cast to be very smart. I looked for a cast who were well studied and witty. Kerry is Type A and a perfectionist, David is a Yale teacher, Craig has a dead pan dry wit, and I was always a fan of Tyler Williams in Everybody Hates Chris and how he brought heart to his nerd roles. I knew they all would play very well against one another.
Sargent: What inspires you/your writing style?
Chism: Character dictates what the story will be. Character comes first then, the setting and the world of where they are from and that's how the language appears. My writing style varies.
Sargent: More specifically for Peeples, is this based on personal experiences?
Chism: Yes it is! I was dating a really perfect guy and he also came from the perfect family (I would call them the "Chocolate Kennedy's") and I just never knew how to fit in with his family. I am very much like Wade Walker—our family talks about everything which always makes my friends very uncomfortable. And so, it was a comical week where I had the chance to spend time with his family and I saw firsthand secrets within his family that he would not own up to. It was a family that had CONDITIONAL love.
Sargent: What's next for you?
Chism: Oddly enough, while I was in the screening of PEEPLES, I had a thought of scaring my audience. So I wrote a thriller called Inheritance and we are making it in New Orleans in the Summer.
Be sure to check out this hilarious film, in theaters today and be sure to view the below clip to get a sneak peak of the movie 'Peeples'.

TORONTO - Last month, the Toronto Blue Jays had a 72-hour window to work out a new deal with R.A. Dickey to close out a trade with the New York Mets for the veteran right-hander.
General manager Alex Anthopoulos pitched his vision of what the Blue Jays would be now and in the future. Dickey immediately liked what he heard.
"I was all in right then," Dickey said. "I think this can be a special few years for this city, for the country and all the players here."
Dickey agreed to a two-year contract extension worth US$25 million with a club option for 2016. He will be an anchor in a much-improved starting rotation that will likely include Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and incumbents Brandon Morrow and Ricky Romero.
Dickey was all smiles Tuesday afternoon as he was formally introduced by the team at a packed news conference at Rogers Centre. For the next 40 minutes, he eloquently weighed in on the peaks and valleys of the journey that brought him to this point.
The 38-year-old knuckleballer touched on highs like winning the 2012 National League Cy Young Award. He also discussed the challenge of baring his soul in an autobiography where he divulged he was twice the victim of sexual abuse while growing up.
With Dickey, there are no cliches, no bling and no attitude.
The friendly Nashville native sat attentively at the dais with his fingers intertwined, offering informative and thoughtful answers to a range of questions.
"For the longest time I kind of fought who I was and I'm thankful that I've been able to live through that into a period where I enjoy embracing who I feel like I am," Dickey said. "That's taken a lot of encouragement and a lot of hard work.
"What you see is what you get. The hope is that none of it is ever manufactured."
Dickey broke into the majors with the Texas Rangers in 2001 and bounced between triple-A and the major leagues for years. He settled in with the Mets in 2010 and posted impressive numbers over three straight seasons, capped by his 20-6 effort last year to go with a sparkling 2.73 earned-run average.
It took him years to make the conversion from regular pitcher to full-time knuckleballer. Dickey recalled throwing his first "really good knuckleball" in the big leagues in 2005 with the Rangers against Raul Ibanez.
"It didn't rotate a smidgen and he swung, his helmet fell off and he went down to his back knee and I remember thinking, 'This is kind of fun you know,'" Dickey said with a smile. "Of course the next pitch I think was hit over the fence.
"But the point being that was the first kind of glimpse."
He developed true consistency with the slow-moving, fluttering pitch in late 2009 and it became a true weapon for him with the Mets in 2010. Dickey's eyes lit up when he talked about using different speeds and making slight changes to his knuckleball in the future.
"That's what's so fun about the pitch, is that I still have more to learn," he said. "I'm still hungry and passionate about my craft."
Dickey originally hoped to sign a contract extension with New York but the two sides could not reach an agreement. After the trade, he thanked the Mets and their fans in a letter published in the New York Daily News.
Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas also joined the Blue Jays in the deal with John Buck, Wuilmer Becerra and highly-touted prospects Travis d'Arnaud and Noah Syndergaard going to the Mets. It was a price Anthopoulos was willing to pay.
"Guys like this don't come around very often," he said.
Toronto hasn't made the playoffs in almost two decades. The Blue Jays are coming off a 73-89 season but Anthopoulos has dramatically reshaped the roster this off-season.
Dickey said it will be fun to call himself a Canadian for six months of the year and is looking forward to playing on a team that will be expected to contend in the American League East.
He has made a few visits to Rogers Centre over his career and said he would often think about the stadium's history when he entered the park, including Joe Carter's memorable World Series-winning home run in 1993.
"It was always a place that offered good pedigree and it had a legacy," he said. "I think one of the hopes is that we're going to get back to that place."

2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Wins Motor Trend SUV Of The Year Award
Our colleagues at Motor Trend have awarded their SUV Of The Year Award to the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. That marks the second time the GL-Class has won the award; the prior generation also was voted Motor Trend SUV Of The Year in 2007.
The new 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class was introduced at the New York auto show earlier this past spring. It's offered here in three different versions: the 240-hp GL350 BlueTec diesel, the 362-hp GL450, and the 429-hp GL550. Also on the way is a high-performance GL63 AMG variant, which packs 550 hp and a 4.9-second 0-to-60-mph time. Pricing starts at $63,305 for the GL350, $64,805 for the GL450, and $87,805 for the GL550. (Prices listed all include destination charges.)
To determine the winner, Motor Trend editors drove 11 different SUVs back-to-back over a test loop that included 35 miles of on-road driving, and another five miles of off-roading. The vehicles were judged on six key criteria: advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value, and performance of intended function.
"The Mercedes-Benz GL truly outshone the field and emerged as the clear winner by the end of our program," Motor Trend editor-in-chief Ed Loh said in a statement. "Simply put, the Mercedes-Benz GL is an outstanding vehicle, and we're proud to name it our 2013 Sport/Utility of the Year."
The editors lauded the GL's long list of technology, opulent interior, smooth ride, capable off-road performance, and variety of efficient but powerful engines. "The new, second-generation GL is the best new SUV on the market period," wrote Motor Trend senior features editor Jonny Lieberman.
"There is nothing more you could want or need in an SUV," concurred road test editor Scott Mortara.

A U.S. Army veteran who lost his legs while deployed in Iraq died after he was thrown from a 200-foot-tall roller coaster at an upstate theme park on Friday.
James Thomas Hackemer, 29, was ejected from the Ride of Steel roller coaster at the Darien Lake Theme Park Resort, located between Buffalo and Rochester, at about 5:30 p.m., the Genesee County sheriff's office said.
The park confirmed a guest "came out of the Ride of Steel roller coaster" and said it was "saddened to report that the guest has passed."
Hackemer, of Gowanda, lost his right leg below his knee and his left leg at his hip because of a roadside bomb while he was deployed in 2008, authorities said. He had been living with his parents.
"It's going to help a little bit that he was happy," his mother, Nancy Hackemer, told The Buffalo News. "We shouldn't have had him for these last three years and four months."
She said the family had recently returned from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington, D.C., where her son got "a new set of legs."
"He was assisted onto the ride," she said. "He was doing what he wanted to do."
No obvious problems
The park said local authorities and its safety experts were investigating.
Investigators said Hackemer was a passenger in the front seat and fell out at a "low hill" in the ride, WGRZ-TV reported. An initial investigation found no obvious problems with the restraints.
The park's website describes the Ride of Steel as one of the tallest coasters east of the Mississippi River, climbing 208 feet and reaching speeds in excess of 70 mph.
The roller coaster and surrounding area were closed after the man's death, park spokeswoman Cassandra Okon said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and the family of the guest," she said.
The death was at least the second in the last couple of months at Northeast amusement parks.
In early June, an 11-year-old girl on a class trip to Morey's Mariner's Landing Pier in Wildwood, N.J., fell about 150 feet from near the top of a Ferris wheel and was killed.
A state report found the ride's restraints to be working properly, and investigators haven't been able to determine how the girl, who was riding alone, got out of the Giant Wheel gondola.
Her parents have filed suit against the ride's operator.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Maret Tsarnaeva was contacted for an interview by Dan Dicks Infowars Correspondent and editor of PressForTruth.ca. He had scheduled an interview with her but when he arrived she was hesitant about conducting an interview.
He sent us the number and David Knight contacted her for a pre-interview and to schedule an interview with Alex Jones. That pre-interview was recorded on video. Alex then talked to Maret twice on the phone as she was now unwilling to conduct an interview. She felt people were listening to her phone and she made a point to say she was not being threatened. Alex wrote notes from the meeting and prepared this report.

BeeKeepers Calendar
The Bees:
During colder weather, the Queen is surrounded by thousands of worker bees. This is considered the "Winter Cluster". You should not disturb this cluster, only open the hive and work bees when the cluster is loose. Activity will be apparent on warmer days (45-50 degrees), this is when bees are taking cleansing flights. These days are acceptable for colony inspection. If feeding is needed, choose a feeding method that is near the bees so they can feed even when clustered. If the colony needs protein, a pollen patty may be placed directly over cluster of bees.
The Bees: The Queen still remains in the cluster and as the days become milder she begins to lay more eggs. The previous protein (Pollen Patty) is used to feed young larva. These bees will hatch out of the cell in 21 days. When young bees are being raised and days are warm the bees will consume more food. At this time, the cluster will begin to grow in size. A Varroa Mite, Foulbrood inspection should be done and a proper evaluation of "Queen Activity". By Mid February, you should see bees carrying natural pollen into the hive. When this occurs, the Queen will also begin to lay drone Eggs (Unfertile eggs) these drones will hatch in 24 days.
The Bees: This is the critical time for starvation. The young bees are hatching daily and the size of the colony increases by hundreds if not thousands per day. The worker bees are beginning to forage and drones begin to appear. As the days grow longer, the Queen increases her rate of egg production and colonies wishing to swarm may start to raise swarm cells and colonies with failing queens may start supersedure cells. These will hatch in 16 days. Weather permitting, a few early swarms could occur in March. Food stores are being consumed at a rapid rate. Natural Pollen is coming in rapidly but cold, windy weather can affect nectar sources so a close watch on food stores is critical.
The Bees: It is a steady pace, bees are roaring, new bees are humming with orientation flights and Drones are on the hunt. This is when swarming is at an all time high. Swarming generally occurs right before the heavy "Honey Flow". Drones are fully mature for mating and Queen Cells are hatching. Love is in the air. Overcrowded hives need more room so additional equipment should be placed on top of these hives to allow space for brood rearing and honey storage. The honey flow has started when bees are coming in heavy. This is noticeable by the dip that the workers make upon entering the hive entrance. They are carrying in fresh nectar to process into honey.
The Bees: The hive is working at top speed. Beekeepers hustle to keep up with the working bees by adding empty boxes underestimating how much equipment you need could cost you a honey crop and could enhance the warming impulse. Make sure to keep an empty box on top during this time of year. Swarming continues as new bees continue to overcrowd colonies.
The Bees: Colonies that did not swarm will be boiling over with bees and the "Honey Flow" continues. Keep up swarm inspections and continue adding additional space as needed. Spring honey sources start to fade and a short honey dearth may happen between blooming cycles. Rain and weather conditions affect the summer nectar sources greatly. Under good conditions, the bees will continue to make honey. The start and stop honey flow will sometimes cause a few "After Swarms". The pace of honey production slows a bit and the Queen starts to lay fewer eggs. Fully Capped Honey Supers may be removed and extracted.
The Bees: This is a "Hot and Humid "month and the bees will cluster on the outside of the hive to cool off. They will continue to make honey, weather permitting and beekeepers should start to remove ripe honey. Remember to leave enough honey for the bees. If you remove all the honey, the stress level of the bees elevates and could cause an unhealthy colony. If weather conditions are too dry, collapse could occur due to starvation. Remember to keep enough empty room for the bees when they come inside. Perform a Queen check and mark colonies for Re-Queening.
The Bees: The colony's growth is diminishing in numbers and the honey flow is coming to an end. When bees stop producing honey, remove all honey supers. (Except one!) Remember to leave one full super of honey for the bees. This is what they will live on during the winter. No more chance of swarming and the honey dearth will appear. Weaker colonies may get robbed of their honey so entrance reducers should be placed on weak colonies or move weak colonies to another bee yard. The Varroa Mite levels are high now and an evaluation of Mite levels should be maintained during this time of year. If you determine mite levels are too high, an integrated pest management (IPM) practice should be added to your list of beekeeping chores. Some colonies may need food and some small clusters may need additional frames of brood to increase bee numbers.
The Bees: Hive population continues to drop and Drones start to disappear. The Queen is laying fewer eggs. Some or all colonies may need feeding. Some or all colonies may need Re-Queening. Pollen should only be fed dry in outside feeders or mixed in syrup. No patties should be fed due to increased small hive beetle activity. Look out for robber bees-reduce the entrance.
The Bees: Continue to combine weaker colonies and make "double sure" all queens are accepted and present. Queenless colonies should be combined with queen-right colonies. This is the time of year to feed as much syrup as you can get them to take so they can insulate the brood nest with honey. Replace broken equipment and make sure they have good tight hives to survive the cold winter months. Not much bee activity. Close down the hive entrance to help protect unwanted intruders.
The Bees: Even less bee activity and cold weather will send them back into cluster. On warm days watch for bees to fly out to make cleansing flights and forage for pollen. Keep the entrances just small enough for two bees to enter.
The Bees: The bees are in a tight cluster so do not open colonies, there is nothing you can do except hope you did everything right. On warm days visit your hives for entrance inspections. Make plans for new bee food in your apiary.

Projects end, but Services Live On. IT Better Focus on Delivering Services!
IT has grown up over the last 50 years as a conglomeration of hundreds of projects. And, for better or worse, IT is still in project mode. Someone (usually the business) has an idea to make things better, sells the idea to the executives, gets funding, writes a charter, and the merry-go-round begins. In most enterprises, the big picture doesn't get propagated to the operational level. In delivering services to the business, even the PMO functions more like a traffic cop than a strategic advisor. Projects, by definition, have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Yet the business's need for services and value from IT knows no end. The time has come to change the way IT approaches delivering services. IT needs to focus on providing agile, high-quality, ongoing services that the business needs and wants. IT must provide ongoing value to the business; all day, every day. Projects end, but well-designed services live on and on.

The Great Debate: To ESM or to Just ITSM?
Nov 28 2018
57 mins
George Spalding, PinkElephant and Allen Houpt, CA Technologies
For the past several years ITSM shops have been finding great business value using ITSM in non-IT use cases. Enterprise Service Management (ESM), whether just handling issues or requests for human resources, facilities, audio visual or other business functions or implemented at the core of mission-critical applications, uses an organization's existing ITSM technology, processes and people to deliver value in non-IT domains with little or no additional cost. The business gets what it needs and IT gets more value from ITSM and a bigger seat at the corporate table (business alignment). Everyone wins!...Or do they? Some industry experts contend that ESM is a distraction from core ITSM efforts and can impose risk in the form of locking too many applications into an ITSM tool. In contrast, others contend that as long as existing, proven core ITSM processes (incident, problem, change, request, fulfillment…) are the focus, it is not a distraction and even accelerates ITSM maturity and ROI. In this webcast, Pink Elephant EVP George Spalding and CA Technologies (a Broadcom company) present the evidence and share their conclusions to this great debate: "To ESM or to Just ITSM?"

Wringing More Value Out of Your ITSM Tool
Nov 1 2018
55 mins
George Spalding, PinkElephant and Allen Houpt, CA Technologies
IT Service Management (ITSM) has a long history of vendors, features, best practices, industry analysts, etc. Likewise, it has a long history in most organizations. But why is it that so few organization have achieved a high level of maturity in ITSM? Why are there so few organizations where ITSM is viewed by executive management, or the business in general, as a mission-critical component to overall business success? In this session, George Spalding, Executive VP at Pink Elephant, explores some of the key ITSM capabilities organizations love to talk about, that can drive maturity and business value, but so few in reality have effectively implemented. Some, like the CMDB, mobility and self-service, have been around for a decade or more, while others like artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing and big data are relatively new. Listen in and learn how to better embrace these capabilities to drive greater ITSM success, maturity and business value.

Getting to "ESM" from "ITSM" Without Removing "IT"
Oct 10 2018
53 mins
George Spalding, PinkElephant and Allen Houpt, CA Technologies
Most traditional uses of IT Service Management (ITSM) technologies have focused on providing an IT service desk to manage and resolve IT issues and service requests. But over the past decade organizations are getting more value out of their existing ITSM solutions by using them in non-IT applications. They are used to support requests and issues for Human Resources, Facilities, Audio Visual and many other internal departments. Externally they are used as customer-facing applications in retail, lodging, human service and almost any other industry. In this session, George Spalding, Executive VP at Pink Elephant, presents some of the numbers behind this trend, examples of creative non-IT uses of ITSM, the value organizations are receiving from this and where it all may be headed. Learn how your organization can maybe get greater value for your ITSM tool!

Proactive ITSM: Panacea or Possibility?
Jan 10 2018
59 mins
George Spalding, Pink Elephant and Allen Houpt, Advisor, Product, CA Technologies
Seems like there's a lot of talk and no action when it comes to organizations implementing "proactive ITSM". With "agile this" and "agile that" pervading IT organizations, one would think "proactive" would be embraced as by definition it provides what's needed before it's needed. Well, proactive ITSM isn't as farfetched as you might think. This webcast explores how infrastructure monitoring, process automation and technology integrations can play a huge role in enabling ITSM to become truly proactive. The result is more time for IT to focus on things that really matter to the business other than just keeping the lights on or resolving problems.

Black people wedding dresses
Elegant black people wedding dresses
Hello friends! Today the theme is rather delicate – elegant wedding dresses, black people wedding dresses. And this is due to the fact that more and more brides are seeking to combine style and simplicity in their image. But, unfortunately, not everyone succeeds.
There is a golden rule that should be guided by the choice of such a dress: Never hide your sexuality, but never emphasize it. So, black people wedding dresses!
Axiom, which is worth remembering black people wedding dresses
Ever notice how a girl is transformed who measures her wedding gown, black people wedding dresses? Her posture immediately appears, her eyes shine, her shoulders straighten. She wants to match along. The most important thing is to carry these feelings through the whole solemn day. After all, not a black people wedding dresses makes you so, but how you wear it. It only helps you to open up and show your individuality.
Style with a taste of simplicity black people wedding dresses
And the first association that arises at the mention of this term is simple, refined models without decor, made mostly of an atlas, or black people wedding dresses.
The accent can be a veil with embroidery on the edge, as well as a wedding bouquet. Possible elegant jewelry, depending on the top – open or closed.
The main thing is to remember that – elegance has a low voice. This is how she was characterized by Sophia Loren. And I think its hard to disagree. So, black people wedding dresses!

Who were the winners at Women with Hattitude?
That there were plenty of pretty hats is an understatement. Suffice it to say that judges had a hard enough time even selecting those who'd compete for the six prizes awarded at the ninth annual Women with Hattitude.
But they did.
Amber Human won the prize for having the hat that best fit the category "Fabulously Floral." The nod for "Sunday Best" went to Evelyn Leslie. Kelly Kiefer took home the prize for "Wildly Whimsical," while Emilie Noyes won for "Spring Sensation." Dovey White's hat won for "High Society" and Diana Vanderbilt's was named "Exquisitely Elegant."
The big winner, though, was the Denver Center Theatre Company Women's Voices Fund, recipient of the event's $28,000 net profit.
In the upcoming season, said Kent Thompson, the DCTC's producing artistic director, the Women's Voices Fund will support the work in Denver of two female directors from New York City.
Three-time Tony winner Kathleen Marshall is coming in to direct and choreograph "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," which opens on Sept. 12. Jenn Thompson will direct Christopher Durang's "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike," a "funny, sad and endearing comedy" that opens Oct. 10.
In addition, the Women's Voices Fund commissioned a comedy by actor-turned-playwright Tanya Saracho, who recently joined the writing staff of the HBO series "Girls."
Women with Hattitude took place May 1 in the Seawell Grand Ballroom and featured entertainment by Dixie Longate, star of "Dixie's Tupperware Party," and the piano stylings of Danny Showers. Macy's sponsored the parade of hats that was emceed by KOSI personality Denise Plante.
The 600 guests also enjoyed an Epicurean Catering lunch that began with pomegranate soup shooters, progressed to salade Nicoise and ended with bite-sized pastries.

Destiny's Child to reunite with Beyonce at Super Bowl?
- Beyonce and Destiny%27s Child to reunite at Super Bowl%2C reports say
- First album%2C performance together in years
- Anticipation heightened for halftime and their new projects
What could Beyoncé do to ratchet up the anticipation to even greater heights for her Super Bowl halftime performance next month? Of course: Reunite with Destiny's Child.
It's not confirmed but Us Weekly is citing multiple anonymous sources who say it's true.
It's even plausible, since Beyoncé and her former band mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, announced Thursday they are releasing their first album in eight years on Jan. 29, just a few days before the Feb. 3 Super Bowl in New Orleans.
"I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!" she wrote on her website.
The album Love Songs is a compilation of their greatest hits, with one new song called Nuclear. E! Online and others have a link to the song by what it calls the "reunited trio."
Us says the plan is Beyoncé will open solo and midway through Williams and Rowland will join her for a short medley of the group's hits, culminating Nuclear.
Then Beyoncé takes over for the finale, which will include a track from her upcoming fifth album.

I fancied creating an 'homage' to the old seaside postcards but with a modern twist!
Hope you like it!
It's in a .png format. Take care not to re-save it as a jpg (very easily done!)as it will no longer be transparent.
Save it to a convenient location, like your desktop or a file in your 'photos' folder.
Take your photo and save it.
Open it in your graphics program..
Open watermark.
Click 'copy' on watermark and MINIMIZE or CLOSE watermark.
Click on photo and 'paste' . You watermark will appear in the centre of your photo (and possibly the wrong size too as I make them big for a good clean resolution when reduced).
Use your 'move' tool to move it to where you want. On my program the same tool can alter size too.
Once happy with the watermark's size/position, 'save' photo with a title and in a place you will find it again.

Aldean, Shelton enter rarefied air at CMA Awards
Country music is slow to change, and so are the 6,000 members who vote for the winners of Wednesday night's show. So when they nominated Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton in the entertainer of the year category for the first time, it meant something.
"Every few years you kind of start to see a changeover of everything," Aldean said. "You start to see different people getting into categories they weren't before. It's like the changing of the guard a little bit."
The two rising stars got to the ballot by taking very different paths, but they've both created a buzz around these awards and in the industry.
Pictures: 2011 CMA arrivals
Special Section: Awards Season
Aldean built his audience on the road, while Shelton capitalized on several high-profile events, including his role as a coach on TV's "The Voice," to raise his profile beyond the traditional country music audience.
Both have had a string of hits, but with markedly different sounds. Shelton, the reigning CMA male vocalist of the year, is a mellow baritone with something of a traditionalist approach spiked by humor. Aldean cranks up the guitars and mines a newer sound.
They face Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban - all previous winners.
It's often de rigueur to feign indifference at award shows, but in this case both are openly appreciative of what even a nomination in the category means.
"I still think it's early," Shelton said. "I think the exposure I've had on `The Voice' and hopefully the exposure I'm giving Nashville and country music in general is probably the reason why people in the industry said, `Hey, you know what? Throw that guy in there.' I'm honored by that."
Defending entertainer Paisley, who co-hosts the awards with Carrie Underwood live at 8 p.m. EST on ABC, he says winning the award is just as cool as he imagined it would be as he patiently waited his turn.
"I really feel like there's only been 44 of those handed out, and to someone who really tries to entertain the people that spend the money on the tickets to a concert, it just felt like the award to win," Paisley said. "For so many years, I wondered if I would get that. And, you know, in that sense, it's one of the proudest things I've ever accomplished, being one of the names written on one of those plaques."
Swift, Aldean, Paisley and Shelton are the top nominees with five apiece.
All five entertainer nominees will perform on a show that promises to be eclectic. Shelton will kick things off with Kenny Loggins on his remake of "Footloose." Vince Gill, Paisley and Urban will salute Glen Campbell, the 1968 CMA entertainer of the year. And Lionel Richie will make his first appearance at the awards since 1986, singing selections from his new country duets album with Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker and Little Big Town.
Faith Hill will debut a new single, "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery will take to the stage in front of millions of viewers again and Grace Potter will join Kenny Chesney on song of the year nominee "You and Tequila."
In other awards categories husband-and-wife reigning vocalists of the year Shelton and Miranda Lambert look to repeat, former entertainer of the year winners Loretta Lynn and Alabama are back with nominations in the musical event of the year category and Martina McBride goes for a record fifth win in the female vocalist category.
"For me, I know I grew up watching (the show) and practicing my speech in the mirror into a hairbrush and really just dreaming of being able to walk up on that stage one day and accept an award and hearing your name called," McBride said. "So, it's like literally a dream come true for so many of us."
