This, that and more of it!

Employers do not distinguish...the young from the old when it comes to hiring workers!
Yeah, that's what you may think, but reading about how many over 45, or older, workers with extensive education and experience have been out of work for year is scary. They tried it all: sent 1000s resumes. Went to many interviews. Added more education. Piled on retraining courses - and still are not being hired. 
Equally scary is the thought, that $ will be running out for retires. Of course, the government mint can print more paper money but ?

And in France, they strike because the early retirement age is being increased to 62 from 60, wow, really.
les pauvres Francaises! Vive les pensionaires!

Now that I've got that off my chest, let's return to what I like better, much better!
Muse, Read, Think, Talk and blog about Opera, the arts, los toros (in the arts) and - well - you guessed it  - hockey.
1) so let's start with hockey, since the season is underway..
one likes to follow one's favorites, right?
Thus here the pre-season game Coyotes
(with still - later that may change - two ex Aeros: Beaudoin/Climie) vs LA Kings (3-1):


and here Ex Aeros Corey (now Nr. 37) Locke's new team the Ottawa Senators
(however that, too may change for him) vs Toronto Maple Leafs (5-0)-
What crowds of enthusiastic, starved for hockey, fans these are!

2) Many Opera performances are made in heaven, yes?

Do you really believe that?

If so, there is that bridge I can sell you!
On the other hand too many are straight from hell or not?  
Here are "The birds, the bees" -wait it's an opera?
  
3) What is art?

Is this art?

An installation, so called?

Or the newest trend in shoes?

Kinda Lady Gaga-ish, to go with her Meat Dress! Don't you think so?
Which, or so I hear, is now supposed to be made into Jerky!!!
How do like that news bite (pun intended)...

Not that I have much against Lady Gaga, as I have posted previously.

I rather like her music, less so her get-ups! But, then she has to be outstanding - one way or another, right!  That's what being a DIVA is all about.

And that coif.. is a set of antennas, to better hear her with :-)?

 

She, most certainly stacks up well against another 'brilliantly  sparkling' performer, way ahead of his time.. can you guess?

Yep, Liberace!

The museum in Las Vegas dedicated to him is shuttering its doors ..... sad, isn't it?
He was not only a great showman, but had genuine musical talent.

Barcelona in Catalonia voted against this long time Spanish custom:

And that's all, folks.

Do voice your esteemed opinions on any of the above..like or dislike.

All are welcome, clean ones will be posted, lol!
