They like climbing. They usually jump onto the shed, via a crumbling wall given the opportunity, much to my Father's dismay and aggravation. Although I feel it is mostly for the approval of their elder sibling.
This picture gave me pause to think about their lives and mine. And I believe I may have learnt something. I could not fathom the forty hours a week of school which after summer they have returned to. Whilst also fulfilling a whole host of other extra-curricular activities; French, hockey, sailing, skiing, as well as the ensemble of instruments which they have begun learning.
Comparatively, I attend university a meagre 16 hours a week for lectures and tutorials, perhaps slightly more when an assignment is due. In addition I generally have some part time job associated with photography in order to continue eating and breathing. I cycle too but this whilst enjoyable is simply a means to an end, it's cheap and it gets me from point A to B briskly.
I think that in reflection perhaps my life - although not alone in this - is somewhat perfunctory. When life is quiet I do not spend time learning or crafting I spend it enjoying thrilling but trite media, or drinking amongst my peers.
I've decided to take a leaf from their book and have begun learning Portuguese albeit very basic., growing mushrooms and chillies. And wish to start boxing. I'm also determined to work that much harder on improving my photography techniques. And will try to drink less although have given a little thought to brewing my own beer.
I suppose my concluding thoughts is that we all have something to learn from our budding generations.
My Father's note, Nov 2016: This photo is me in a tent camp which we used as a base while we built another bridge somewhere near Ipoh. My part time job was preparing the fortnightly pay, hence concentrating at the desk.
I thought that the small photo of me amongst those you have scanned in might have been a passport photo, but not so, just a photo one of the guys took. However, that reminded me that when I got my first passport it was a British one with the words "British Subject, Australian Citizen" on it. Not many people would know that now.
My note: Dad's referring to a bunch of other photographs that I have scanned, of which one must be a portrait. He sent me scans of the Passport which contains facts not found on modern passports, such as that his hair was "fair", his eyes were blue and, under a section called "visible peculiarities" it states "scar on upper lip."
This is from a collection of photos that has sat in various boxes or cupboards over the years at home. They date from the 1950s when my Dad was in the Australian army during "The Emergency" in Malaysia.

Teacher Retirement Planning Is A Unique Challenge
If you’re a teacher, planning for retirement doesn’t come in a one-size-fits-all portfolio. Each scenario is unique, leaving teachers with a number of factors to consider when deciding how to move forward with retirement savings. Some are in a state pension system while others are in a plan much like a 401K savings program. Others are in a hybrid of the two. Teachers may also have the option to contribute to a 403B or 457(b) savings plan. In some situations, a teacher may not be paying into Social Security, which means that benefit won’t be accessible in retirement. Understanding the options and the pros and cons can be intimidating but if you’re a teacher, retirement planning doesn’t have to be a maze.
Retirement Planners: Go To The Pros
Retirement planning for educators can be confusing. If you don’t fully understand all of your retirement options along with the changing landscape as it pertains to state laws governing pensions and retirement health care, consider bringing a professional to your team. For Michigan educators, it’s important to find a retirement expert who understands the specifics of Michigan’s teacher retirement pension and health care system. State laws as they pertain to pensions and retirement health care are constantly up for debate and change. In fact, some Michigan lawmakers currently working on the 2018 budget would like to make closing the Michigan pension system to new teachers a priority in an effort to save money. These developments should be watched closely and if your financial planner isn’t discussing these issues with you and thinking proactively about your options, find someone who will.
Supplement Your Understanding: Tap into Online State Resources
If you’re in the state pension system, make sure you understand how much your pension may be worth when you retire and when you’ll qualify for that pension. In Michigan, you can calculate your pension by visiting the Michigan Office of Retirement Services website. That website also offers important information about when you’re eligible to retire and what considerations to take into account before deciding to retire.
What will you pay in health care costs when you retire? Again, the Michigan Office of Retirement Services website can help you calculate those costs. You’ll want to think about your health, dental and vision coverage options. You’ll need to consider such things as your age upon retirement, whether you’ll qualify for Medicare when you retire, or whether you might be covered by a spouse’s health care plan. Again, if you’re confused, get expert help from a professional that answers these questions every day.
Ideally, you can arm yourself with critical information from the state and meet with a retirement expert who can offer a deeper level of advice and planning. Whatever you do, don’t procrastinate. Your retirement savings success depends on you learning how your state teacher retirement system works and how to get the most from your pension and other benefits.
Build A Multifaceted Plan
As in any profession, it’s not wise to depend solely on one savings plan to fund your years in retirement. Even if you’ve taken the proper steps to maximize your pension, you need to have a supplemental plan. Understand your employer’s retirement plans. You may have the option of contributing to a 403(b) or 457(b) account. Understand the pros and cons of these types of savings accounts and how they might fit in to your big picture retirement plan. Also consider options outside of workplace accounts including Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs. And you must know if you’re eligible for Social Security. Whether teachers pay into Social Security varies and if you’re not sure if you’ll receive Social Security in retirement, check with a retirement professional who can look at your personal situation and let you know exactly where you stand.
Life After Teaching
Just because you decide to leave the classroom doesn’t mean you have to leave the workforce completely. If you plan to keep a part-time job, consider that when calculating your retirement needs. Early retirement isn’t possible for everyone; you may need to consider prolonging your work life to give you more time to save for retirement.
A teacher’s retirement plan is different than those who work in the private sector. Working to maximize your pension, developing a plan with your retirement advisor, and knowing which part-time jobs you can keep into retirement without taking away from your retirement benefits from teaching will offer a strong plan for your financial future.

Believe it or no, this is a fairly typical day at my part-time job. My co-worker Nick is a hoot! We used Luke's camera and took several pictures. This is my favorite.
Thanks for processing these Luke.
I've gone through a lot of cell phones over the years, from contracted phones to no contract phones. I had settled on using Virgin Mobile because it was so cheap and my phone was just used in emergencies, until J was diagnosed with Type 1 last year. At that point, I was working two part time jobs and needed a phone that would use a bluetooth headset, so I could talk to the school nurse while changing diapers at my morning job. I needed more time on the phone, because the nurse would call me several times a day as she was learning how to care for J. I got this one from Walmart - a Straight Talk phone that gives me 1000 minutes, 1000 texts and I don't remember how much internet access for $30 per month. If I wanted unlimited talk/text/internet I could pay $45 per month, but I'm frugal and don't spend more than needed on phone time. It's a handy little phone and one I use daily.
I got J a cell phone too, despite my strict policy of "kids don't need a cell phone until they are not with a responsible adult all the time or until they have a job and can buy their own phone." When he was diagnosed, all that changed, as he needed to be able to call me if he was walking up the 1/4 mile long all uphill driveway and had a low. Or if he was at C's house, because C didn't have a landline. So he got a cheap Tracfone. Which he never remembered to take with him when he left the house.
He's a growing boy. Loves milk and sugar. Now what do the experts say about giving kids too much sugar? Oh, she says. And I say do NOT give that baby SUGAR!
Since #2 daughter still has one foot in my home she asked me to allow her to build an enclosure for Jack in my backyard. The place where her other foot resides has no yard and no pets allowed inside.
A moment, please. My advice to these two women was to place this animal in a wildlife rescue facility where humans with more experience could take care of this critter properly. My first few responses were no, this animal cannot stay at my place. No, contact one of the nature centers. No, call the zoo. Well, I checked the phone book. There isn’t a place listed where we might take Jack. I called the zoo and they referred me to a place 75 miles away. And, finally, #2 daughter simply refused to hear any plea to give Jack up.
Then I gave in. Jack has a vet who is overseeing his care. He gets proper feeding, instructions, food, shots and well-being visits. {though he failed to warn against feeding cow's milk to Jack) #2 daughter and boyfriend (BF) bought supplies and built Jack an enclosure. They provided a warm and well-protected place to sleep with latenightowl-type hidy-holes, warm blankets, toys, climbing apparatus and water supply. He loves it.
#1 son loves to play with Jack – for awhile. Jack is allowed to roam the house as long as there is supervision. He is socialized already with our other pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) and really isn’t a problem – yet. He also has a rather large cage, the one he arrived in, kept in #1 son’s bedroom, for quick catch-him-hold-him safety needs.
Here’s the rub. My daughter is a full time college student with 2 part time jobs. Guess who takes care of Jack? Giving instructions and buying the food isn't 'taking care of Jack.' And this weekend, during fall break, she and BF left town for a get-away weekend leaving Jack to the care of others. I'm lucky if I get to see my daughter maybe twice a week when she’s running in and then running out. This is nowhere near sufficient for Jack.
Foot coming down Sunday night.
Lord, give me strength to stick to my guns.
Latenightowl, if you happen to read this, HELP
I am continuously reminding those who think Jack is so cute and want him to stay that there will be a day when Jack will need to go. uh-huh.
You can tell I work with yarn. We walked into the warehouse of the Annex and the first thing out of my mouth was "It's just like WEBS! But with books instead of yarn! And BIGGER!" :-D
There is a very special place in my heart for The Annex. This story actually starts almost 20 years ago (o.O holy crap....) My dad did his graduate work at UB, so my brother and I spent a lot of time at Lockwood Library with him when we were in elementary school (I was in about 4th or 5th grade maybe?) About that time, they had just moved their card catalog online into BISON. Fast forward about 10ish years, and I'm at UB for my undergraduate work. I got a summer job at the Science and Engineering Library, marking books that had not circulated since they had been entered into BISON, so that the subject librarians could decide what would be sent to The Annex. (I also found books that were not actually in BISON at all and that summer job turned into a 2 year part time job until I graduated.) Now, 7 years after I graduated, I FINALLY get to see The Annex and what I helped work toward :-D It was an excellent birthday present :-D
Race Category: Triathlons: sprint, olympic, half
Residence: Falls Church, VA
Résumé: First: Suncoast sprint tri in Ft Desoto Florida
Farthest Away: 2006 Long Course Triathlon World Championships in
Canberra Australia
My Bikes: Quintana Roo Kilo '04 (Red)
How I support by Bike Habit: Getting a few breaks as I'm toting my bike through airport security
lines, since my mom's in the airline industry. Also buying a one day
pass in gyms across the the country and sneaking into the spin room to
get a workout in. Doing a part-time job working at Contes bikes in
Arlington, that was a blast, motivating and educational.
Best Time on the Bike: Doing a Century with my father in Orlando. We stopped by a subway for a mid-ride butt-break/snack, it was hot it rained and it
was awesome.
Worst Time on the Bike: Hawaii, I did a 36mile non-stop uphill 10,000 feet elevation gain Cycle to the Sun. It was the Worst and the Best once it ended and I had made it to the top without a single dismount. Finally at the top
we were attacked by blanket wielding masseuses. Then they fed us cookies and hot chocolate and crowned us with sweet scented leis.
My Motto: You never know until you tri.
Favorite Post-Ride Food: Chicken broth, rice crispy treats, and a salami sandwich. Unless its breakfast time and then only the buffet will suffice.

... it was delicious.
I called in sick to my part-time job today just because. Because the crispy new Autumn air outside was calling me to go for a bike ride, because I was in the mood for home-made brunch, and because CKUA plays jazz and blues almost all day on Saturdays.

I visited Nathan Phillips Square this morning which is the gathering place in front of Toronto’s City Hall. I was there to see Ai Weiwei’s sculpture titled Forever Bicycles, 2013 which is on display in the square.
Ai Weiwei is a world-renowned artist and social activist from Beijing China. You can read more about him here: aiweiwei.com/bio and on Wikipedia.
The sculpture is remarkable and consists of 3,144 bicycles attached to each other to form a massive, but delicate sculpture. The steel bicycle frames sparkled in the bright fall sunlight as I admired the unusual display.
I thought it would be great to meet a stranger here and pose them against the sculpture but somehow none of the few people meandering in and around the sculpture caught my eye. I wound up chatting with this man who was on duty for a security company and was patrolling the area. He proved quite approachable and we had a very nice conversation which resulted in him becoming a part of my 100 Strangers project. Meet Fady.
I assumed that he was there to patrol the square but Fady said his responsibility is to protect the sculpture; the square itself is patrolled by a different security contingent. When I asked what kind of protection the sculpture requires, he said it’s not vandalism but people occasionally trying to climb the sculpture. I was interested to learn that Fady’s employer is hired by the artist himself. “So, you are paid by Ai Weiwei” I said. “Indirectly” was his reply.
Fady, who is 27 and married, came to Canada 5 years ago from Egypt where he was born and raised. He was in the Egyptian Marines but was discharged honourably when he was shot in the leg and could no longer perform military service. He decided to move to Canada where he values the peaceful conditions. His wife is trained as a Political Scientist but has had trouble finding work in her field in Canada. Fady does security work but has a small part-time job on the side importing and selling Egyptian food items which he is introducing to the Canadian market. He uses his Egyptian contacts for supplies and said that pickle products are a popular item.
When I approached Fady for 100 Strangers he hesitated and said he would like to help me out but felt he did not look good. He said he was not wearing his official shirt and was just nearing the end of a 12 hour all-night work shift. Not wanting to press too hard, I told him that my project was not a beauty contest and I was interested in photographing people as they appear in their everyday lives. He at first suggested I wait a few minutes and photograph the guard who would soon relieve him. Finally, I suggested a “deal.” I would do a couple of test photos and show them to him and if he did not like them I would delete them. He agreed.
I found Fady a very pleasant man to chat with and it was fun getting to know him. He was surprised that I didn’t want him to lower his hood or “spiff up” in any way for the photo and willingly positioned himself where I wanted him to be with the sculpture in the background. I feel satisfied that this photo captures Fedy just as he appeared to me and when I showed it to him on my camera display he seemed surprised that it looked so nice and said he would love to have a copy of it which I have provided.
My main regret in this portrait is that the reflective vest he was wearing showed up so bright as to blow out some highlights. This was less apparent in camera than on my computer screen later. Surprisingly, most of the vest collar is not truly "blown" as there is detail in most areas, but to pull it out of the apparent “blow-out” resulted in spoiling Fady’s skin tones. Clearly, his friendly face is the "main event" in the portrait so I ended up focusing my efforts on his face. Perhaps if I was an expert with Photoshop I could have dealt with this but I’m not. I found the encounter so positive and interesting that I decided to post the photo and simply live with its imperfection (although it does bug me and may bug you as a viewer).
Fady and I ended up standing there chatting in Nathan Phillips Square for ten or fifteen minutes after his relief arrived. We both seemed to be enjoying making each other’s acquaintance and lost track of time. When I realized his shift was over and that he must be exhausted I got control of my chattiness and suggested he go home and get some sleep.
Thank you Fady for participating in 100 Strangers. You are now Stranger #242 in Round 3 of my project. It was fun getting to know you and I hope you like the photo.

I know on 2/29/12 I worked at one of my two part-time jobs — it was the one that is more pronouncedly a dead end of the two.
And it's a good bet that for lunch I ate a plastic Lean Cuisine tvdinner, though I cannot be certain about that. Lean Cuisine products are mainly marketed at women, I think? I always wonder whether Lean Cuisine chunks of chickenmeat were humanely raised; or if 'soul residues' of the industrial chickens' screams of tortured agony are somehow bound up in each cell of their white breastmeats. Think of the vast numbers of chicken chunks sealed up inside the Lean Cuisine plastic dinners in every freezer case in every American supermarket on just one single day, it's kind of amazing.
Otherwise I don't remember a thing of Leap Day, even merely these few months later. I wouldn't remember the sloppy snow and the flood of mud had I not taken a picture of it, and had the camera not recorded the date of it. I don't mean for any of this to be a bummer.

Boris, Maria, and their children, Misha and Grisha, repatriated to Israel in March 2022. The catalyst for this decision was the full-scale, unjustified invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army (and the denial of this fact).
Before repatriation, Boris worked for 13 years as a development manager in major Russian and international companies. Since 2019, the client was an American division of an Italian conglomerate. The family lived very comfortably in Moscow, with a nanny who took care of the house and children while Boris worked remotely from a rented office. Boris was also involved in political activism and served for two years on the Political Council of the Moscow branch of the Progress Party (Navalny's party). Maria worked as the director of development at the private Jewish children's center "Ester" at Vodny Stadium. Misha was successful in his studies at the Jewish School 1540 (ORT) on Novoslobodskaya, and Grisha attended the "Ester" kindergarten.
After leaving Moscow at the end of February, the family initially ended up in Bishkek. They had two weeks left until Israel's emergency repatriation program opened. During this time, Boris was involved in relocating a team of 40 people and exploring different countries for the family's immigration. The remote work format allowed for the possibility of living in a country with a low average income but also low-quality public institutions. However, achieving a high standard of living, if not immediately, then for future generations, required much greater efforts from the entire family. Ultimately, the decision was made to move to Israel. The primary idea was that, based on their nationality, the entire family is Jewish, and this identity would allow them to feel accepted by society.
Upon arriving in Israel, the family was accommodated in a hotel for repatriates in Jerusalem. It was there that the children made friends with their future companions, whom they still see today. The question of choosing a city to live in arose. They approached it based on American recommendations: they looked for an area with the best schools in the country. They found a small, prosperous town, Kiryat Ono, 7 km from the center of Tel Aviv and 6 km from Ben Gurion Airport.
Over the past year, many things have been organized. Boris found two part-time jobs in an Israeli startup and an Austrian company in addition to his regular job, and he also started volunteering for the Israeli branch of the Project Management Institute (PMI). Maria completed two ulpans at the Aleph level and is currently studying at an ulpan at the Bet level in Petah Tikva. After finishing, she plans to look for office work in the field of marketing (possibly completing subsidized courses offered by the Ministry of Absorption). Misha is excelling at Rimonim School, practices Krav Maga (earning an 8th "ki," a yellow belt), and studies music at a conservatory. He also studies Hebrew at an ulpan affiliated with the school and privately with a tutor, and he learns Jewish traditions online. Grisha graduated from "Gan Sfati" and will start attending Varsha School in the new year. He also studies Hebrew and takes swimming lessons.
Israel has mostly lived up to their expectations. There are a few things that have turned out differently. Firstly, of course, it's the cost of living. Indeed, living at the level of "up to 100,000 rubles per family" is possible here when receiving a local salary. However, to maintain the family's accustomed lifestyle with dinners at favorite cafes, delivery of favorite food, occasional taxi rides, outings to concerts of favorite artists with a nanny for the children, trips with friends around the country for a few days, collecting items, buying good clothing and gadgets, and outings, a significantly higher income level is required, not less than 35,000 shekels, and preferably more. Hence the nervousness, nostalgia, and the reluctance to accept Israel as a place for the comfortable life of the entire family. The main expectation is that the global labor market will recover, and investments will allow the hiring of professional managers once again.

Blue-eyed American actor Henry Fonda (1905-1982) exemplified not only integrity and strength but an ideal of the common man fighting against social injustice and oppression. He is most remembered for his roles as Abe Lincoln in Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (1940), for which he received an Academy Award Nomination, and more recently, Norman Thayer in On Golden Pond (1981), for which he received an Oscar for Best Actor in 1982. Notably, he also played against character as the villain 'Frank' in Sergio Leone's classic Spaghetti Western Once upon a time in the West (1968). Fonda is considered one of Hollywood's old-time legends and his lifelong career spanned almost 50 years.
Henry Jaynes Fonda was born in Grand Island, Nebraska in 1905. His parents were Elma Herberta (Jaynes) and William Brace Fonda, who worked in advertising and printing and was the owner of the W. B. Fonda Printing Company in Omaha, Nebraska. His distant ancestors were Italians who had fled their country around 1400 and moved to Holland, presumably because of political or religious persecution. In the early1600's, they crossed the Atlantic and were among the early Dutch settlers in America. They established a still-thriving small town in upstate New York named Fonda, named after patriarch Douw Fonda, who was later killed by Indians. In 1919, young Henry was a first-hand witness to the Omaha race riots and the brutal lynching of Will Brown. This enraged the 14 years old Fonda and he kept a keen awareness of prejudice for the rest of his life. Following graduation from high school in 1923, Henry got a part-time job in Minneapolis with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company which allowed him at first to pursue journalistic studies at the University of Minnesota. In 1925, having returned to Omaha, Henry reevaluated his options and came to the conclusion that journalism was not his forte, after all. For a while, he tried his hand at several temporary jobs, including as a mechanic and a window dresser. At age 20, Fonda started his acting career at the Omaha Community Playhouse, when his mother's friend Dodie Brando (mother of Marlon Brando) recommended that he try out for a juvenile part in You and I, in which he was cast as Ricky. Then he received the lead in Merton of the Movies and realized the beauty of acting as a profession. It allowed him to deflect attention from his own tongue-tied personality and create stage characters relying on someone else's scripted words. The play and its star received fairly good notices in the local press. It ran for a week, and for the rest of the repertory season, Henry advanced to the assistant director which enabled him to design and paint sets as well as act. A casual trip to New York, however, had already made him set his sights on Broadway. In 1926, he moved to the Cape Cod University Players, where he met his future wife Margaret Sullavan. His first professional role was in The Jest, by Sem Benelli. James Stewart joined the Players a few months after Fonda left, but he would become his closest lifelong friend. In 1928, Fonda went east to New York to be with Margaret Sullavan, and to expand his theatrical career on Broadway. His first Broadway role was a small one in A Game of Love and Death with Alice Brady and Claude Rains. Henry played leads opposite Margaret Sullavan, who became the first of his five wives in 1931. They broke up in 1933. In 1934, he got a break of sorts, when he was given the chance to present a comedy sketch with Imogene Coca in the Broadway revue New Faces. That year, he also hired Leland Hayward as his personal management agent and this was to pay off handsomely. Major Broadway roles followed, including New Faces of America and The Farmer Takes a Wife. The following year he married Frances Seymour Brokaw with whom he had two children: Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, also to become screen stars.
The 29-year old Henry Fonda was persuaded by Leland Hayward to become a Hollywood actor, despite initial misgivings and reluctance on Henry's part. Independent producer Walter Wanger, whose growing stock company was birthed at United Artists, needed a star for The Farmer Takes a Wife (Victor Fleming, 1935) opposite Janet Gaynor. I.S. Mowis at IMDb: “With both first-choice actors Gary Cooper and Joel McCrea otherwise engaged, Henry was the next available option. After all, he had just completed a successful run on Broadway in the stage version. The cheesy publicity tag line for the picture was "you'll be fonder of Fonda", but the film was an undeniable hit.” Wanger, realizing he had a good thing going, next cast Henry in a succession of A-grade pictures which capitalized on his image as the sincere, unaffected country boy. Pick of the bunch were the Technicolor outdoor Western The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (Henry Hathaway, 1936) with Sylvia Sidney, and the gritty Depression-era drama You Only Live Once (Fritz Lang, 1937) with Henry as a back-to-the-wall good guy forced into becoming a fugitive from the law by circumstance). Then followed the screwball comedy The Moon's Our Home (William A. Seiter, 1936) with ex-wife Margaret Sullavan, the excellent pre-civil war-era romantic drama Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938) featuring Bette Davis, and the Western Jesse James ( Henry King, 1939) starring Tyrone Power. Fonda rarely featured in comedy, except for a couple of good turns opposite Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Tierney - with both he shared an excellent on-screen chemistry - in The Mad Miss Manton (Leigh Jason, 1938), The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges, 1941) and the successful Rings on Her Fingers (Rouben Mamoulian, 1942). Henry gave his best screen performance to date in Young Mr. Lincoln (John Ford, 1939), a fictionalized account of the early life of the American president as a young lawyer facing his greatest court case. Henry made two more films with director John Ford: the pioneering drama Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) with Claudette Colbert, and The Grapes of Wrath (1940), an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. In his career-defining role as Tom Joad, Fonda played the archetypal grassroots American trying to stand up against oppression. His relationship with Ford would end on the set of Mister Roberts (John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy, 1955) when he objected to Ford's direction of the film. Ford punched Fonda and had to be replaced.
The Grapes of Wrath (John Ford, 1940) set the tone for Henry Fonda’s subsequent career. In this vein, he gave a totally convincing, though historically inaccurate, portrayal in the titular role of The Return of Frank James (Fritz Lang, 1940), a rare example of a sequel improving upon the original. He projected integrity and quiet authority whether he played lawman Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine (John Ford, 1946) or a reluctant posse member in The Ox-Bow Incident (William A. Wellman, 1943). In between these two films, Fonda enlisted in the Navy to fight in World War II, saying, and served in the Navy for three years. He then starred in The Fugitive (John Ford, 1947), and Fort Apache (John Ford, 1948), as a rigid Army colonel, along with John Wayne and Shirley Temple in her first adult role. The following years, he did not appear in many films. Fonda was one of the most active, and most vocal, liberal Democrats in Hollywood. During the 1930s, he had been a founding member of the Hollywood Democratic Committee, formed in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal agenda. In 1947, in the middle of the McCarthy witch hunt, he moved to New York, not returning to Hollywood until 1955. His son Peter Fonda writes in his autobiography Don't Tell Dad: A Memoir (1999) that he believes that Henry's liberalism caused him to be gray-listed during the early 1950s. Fonda returned to Broadway to play the title role in Mister Roberts for which he won the Tony Award as best dramatic actor. In 1979, he won a second special Tony, and was nominated for a Tony Award Clarence Darrow (1975). Later he played a juror committed to the ideal of total justice in 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957) which he also produced, and a nightclub musician wrongly accused of murder in The Wrong Man (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956). During the next decade, he played in The Longest Day (Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton a.o., 1962), How the West Was Won (John Ford, Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, 1962) and as a poker-playing grifter in the Western comedy A Big Hand for the Little Lady (Fielder Cook, 1966) with Joanne Woodward. A big hit was the family comedy Yours, Mine and Ours (Melvillle Shavelson, 1968), in which he co-starred with Lucille Ball. The same year, just to confound those who would typecast him, he gave a chilling performance as one of the coldest, meanest stone killers ever to roam the West, in Sergio Leone's Western epic C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) opposite Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. With James Stewart, he teamed up in Firecreek (Vincent McEveety, 1968), where Fonda again played the heavy, and the Western omedy The Cheyenne Social Club (Gene Kelly, 1970). Despite his old feud with John Ford, Fonda spoke glowingly of the director in Peter Bogdanovich's documentary Directed by John Ford (1971). Fonda had refused to participate until he learned that Ford had insisted on casting Fonda as the lead in the film version of Mr. Roberts (1955), reviving Fonda's film career after concentrating on the stage for years. Illness curtailed Fonda’s work in the 1970s. In 1976, Fonda returned in the World War II blockbuster Midway (Jack Smight, 1976) with Charlton Heston. Fonda finished the 1970s in a number of disaster films wilth all-star casts: the Italian killer octopus thriller Tentacoli/Tentacles (Ovidio G. Assonitis, 1977), Rollercoaster (James Goldstone, 1977) with Richard Widmark, the killer bee action film The Swarm (Irwin Allen, 1978), the global disaster film Meteor (Ronald Neame, 1979), with Sean Connery, and the Canadian production City on Fire (Alvin Rakoff, 1979), which also featured Shelley Winters and Ava Gardner. His final screen role was as an octogenarian in On Golden Pond (Mark Rydell, 1981), in which he was joined by Katharine Hepburn and his daughter Jane. It finally won him an Oscar on the heels of an earlier Honorary Academy Award. Too ill to attend the ceremony, Henry Fonda died soon after at the age of 77, having left a lasting legacy matched by few of his peers. His later wives were Susan Blanchard (1950-1956), Leonarda Franchetti (1957-1961) and Shirlee Fonda (1965- till his death in 1982). With Blanchard he had a daughter, Amy Fishman (1953). His grandchildren are the actors Bridget Fonda, Justin Fonda, Vanessa Vadim and Troy Garity.

It's all here in one puzzling page-turner of a novel: conspiracy, codes, secret societies, UFOs, ancient mysteries, the prophetic Mayan calendar end-date of 2012, alternative interpretations of Biblical events, mystifying metaphysics, good guys, bad guys, murder most foul and, yes, even a touch of romance. All of this, and more, is intricately woven into the multifaceted storyline of THE EZEKIEL CODE.
Gary Val Tenuta - former contributing writer for Fate Magazine (U.S.) and Beyond Magazine (U.K.) and a guest on numerous radio programs (including Dreamland, hosted by best selling author Whitley Strieber and The X-Zone hosted by Rob McConnell) - has crafted a provocative mystery novel with an esoteric edge that may upset certain segments of the population while at the same time enthralling others with it's alternative perspective on reality and its vision for the future.
From its cryptic prologue to its dramatic climax, THE EZEKIEL CODE is a skillful blend of fact and fiction with likable, vividly developed characters:
Zeke Banyon is a handsome Catholic seminary dropout who now runs a homeless shelter in Seattle's old waterfront district and Angela Ann Martin is an attractive young widow who just wants a simple part-time job at the shelter. But a single twist of fate turns their simple lives upside down when together they stumble onto a mysterious code and a rumor about a lost scroll penned by the prophet, Ezekiel, thousands of years ago. They soon find themselves thrust deep into a world of secret societies, metaphysics, mystery and murder as they jet across continents in a race to understand the code that will lead them to an ancient artifact of profound importance. Dodging rogue Jesuit priests at every turn and unaware that the Illuminati are ever-present in the shadows, Zeke and Angela soon discover it's not just their own lives that are in danger but also the lives of everyone on the planet.
Is Zeke Banyon the Chosen One of an obscure ancient prophecy? And if so, can he successfully accomplish the mission fate has in store for him? Nothing in seminary school could ever have prepared him for this.
2012 is coming...The clock is ticking…The code must be deciphered…And only one man can save the planet...If he can just figure out how - before it's too late.

Boiled green peas, spiced and topped with grated coconut and raw mango (Sundal in tamil), the age old snack you would'nt miss on Marina Beach,Chennai. The snack is usually sold by young boys who sometimes do it as a part time job, when they are not at school.

I'm absolutely shattered. Left home Saturday lunchtime and went to London for dinner and the theatre (Shakespeare's Globe) with a friend. Then got the night bus to Pickering in Yorkshire to spend a few days with friends (and nights on the narrow bunk in their caravan). Got home last night, then went to yoga, started a new (part time) job today then an extra long t'ai chi class. Now all I can do is put my feet up the wall and snap my socks.
A year ago today I was comfort eating.
This is my patio with fresh snow, about the time I realized I could not think of keeping my mountain home. My neighbors started foreclosing around 2007, but I was determined to hold on, so I did. I got a third part time job and kept plugging away on my dream job (my web site), year after year. No economic recovery in sight. Until 2011 - when reality set in and I realized the recession was turning into a depression.
Diagnosed with major food allergies and gut disorders that same year, I knew my lifestyle needed to change, drastically. The grocery store was an hour away and the local restaurants sucked. GMO started to enter the mainstream w/ many food documentary films that I rented from Netflix and I started questioning my food source.
Healthy wasn't quite real anymore. I needed to grow my own organic food and this was impossible at 5000 feet elevation.

Emily Crane is fired after refusing to give names to a 1951 House Un-American Activities Committee, and takes a part-time job as companion to an old lady. One day her attention is drawn to a noisy argument being conducted largely in German in a neighbouring house, the more so since one of those involved is her main senator prosecutor. Starting to look into things, she gradually enlists the help of FBI officer Cochran who was initially detailed to check her out.

Again, creds to Google for the nice clip art. Anywho, like I said , I had a major academic/work thing that was going on this Tuesday, and that I needed a lot of prep and whatnot for it. So, I prepped and prepped, and when I finally got into it, I wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was, so hopefully I will have an average or good score on this evaluation. Now, here's the catch: I will know on Friday, (possibly earlier) whether or not I did well enough on my Tuesday evaluation in order to hopefully not go through some bureaucratic bull$hit for most of, if not all of, my summer, which means that I'm not in the clear yet. So like I said earlier, if this one thing clears, I'm good, and can finally start writing up old descriptions and whatnot. Since it's very very touch and go, I'm not sure whether or not I'll be staying or how anything could possibly work. Also, I have a part-time job now, for which my hours and days are EXTREMELY flexible, which will help me reach out to you guys. Either way, whether or not I'm staying or leaving is very very much up in the air right now.
If I'm staying, my next post(s) will have the following figs:

Even if I'm leaving either for a bit or permanently, I will still post these guys, just because it would nice to close out with such a big post.

Customer ordered this for her son's 18th birthday. His favourite football (soccer) team is Arsenal. And he has a part-time job at KFC, which he hates, so she thought it would be funny to include something to do with that, too. 8" vanilla sponge filled with jam and vanilla buttercream, covered with marzipan and sugarpaste. My friend's husband had the idea to do the inscription on a napkin (I couldn't think how to best do it, as it didn't look right on the board, as it was off-centre, due to the chicken!)
I was admiring the gorgeous irises, growing on the sidewalk, while this young woman was watering her garden. I stopped to ask whether I might make a few pictures of her and her beautiful flowers. She very kindly obliged and we started to have a nice conversation.
It was clear to her that I loved irises and she let me come into the garden to get a closer look at the pink ones blooming along the wall.
As we talked, Wendy heard my slightly foreign accent and wondered where I came from. This led to her telling me about her grandfather who was originally from Sweden. I said that she actually did look Scandinavian and wondered whether she visited her ancestor's country.
No, she did not, she didn't speak the language. I did assure her that people nowadays speak English in most parts of the world, certainly in Sweden.
Wendy had moved a few years ago to that neighborhood in SE Portland, very close to my daughter's house. At the time Wendy traded a couple of the trees, which were planted on her sidewalk, with her next door neighbors. In return she got a few bushes of irises, all in different colors.
It is always nice to talk to strangers. A conversation goes a long way.
How big was my surprise, a few days later, when I suddenly saw Wendy in my granddaughter Esmée's school walking into an office. She didn't see me, so I called out her name, she had a big smile on her face when she recognized me. It so happened that Wendy had a part time job in that very same school.
A small neighborhood, indeed :-)
