I haven't worn this pendant for years, but it's finding a new role now as a photo prop. I like it because it has a matte finish, so I don't keep seeing myself or my camera in it. Definitely a bonus. :)
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Gold or Silver. For scale, the pendant is about 1¼" across at its widest point.
Almost everyone, at one time or another, wants to "see behind the curtain".
It can be career related -- what's going on with the ownership and what does my boss think of me?
It can be spiritual -- wanting to know is there a heaven, is there a hell, is God really there?
It can be financial -- am I going to have enough money to survive?
It can be a health issue -- why me, why do I have this illness?
It can be the future -- what is going to happen to me, to my family, to my friends, to our country?
I believe the truth is, if we were allowed to "see behind the curtain" as often as we wanted to, it would spoil the wonderful gift of not knowing what is coming. I also believe we were created to live one day at a time, to enjoy the mysteries of life and death, and to understand that one day we will certainly "see behind the curtain" at our appointed time.

This photo shows a number of chess pawns lined accprding to their size. It is a free and easy allegory (or maybe a harsh truth) referring to some professional career. And what is your opinion? Feel free to express it in the comment section under this photo. And don't forget to give it a little star.
If money were no object and I could work in dresses, I'd wear this beautiful grey sheath on a day when I was due to out for the evening directly from the office.
She enjoys the beach so much, Merry thinks she will try selling sea shells down by the sea shore.
This is Prima Dolly Marigold, one of my older Blythe dolls. I usually reach for a new girl when it's photo time, so she is one of many who don't get as much exposure as I wish they did. Her sunny coloring is perfect for this "sea shore" theme in the Blythe a Day group.
Charles Gesner van der Voort (1916-1991) had started his career in Rotterdam, at Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC). In 1938, he went to Shanghai for the firm. The Japanese interned him, and most other Dutch nationals, from 1943-45. In camp, he met his wife Nancy and they married after the war. After a leave in The Netherlands, they returned to the Orient, where Charles continued to work for HCHC in Hong Kong.
Twenty years before Charles started, in 1918, a photo album was made of the Hong Kong office and office staff.
The office also housed the Nederlandsch Indische Handelsbank. A 1908 photo by Arnold Wright (1858-1941) is part of Wikimedia Commons: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tcitp_d127_nederlandsch_i...

Located between village Liepa and the primeval valley of River Gauja.
Lode clay deposit was discovered in 1953 by the geologist J.Slienis. Ten years later industrial extraction of clay for brick-making was started. The clay-pit became world famous when the geologist V.Kuršs in 1970 first time in the history of the world discovered well preserved fossils of Upper Devonian armoured fish and Strunius kurshi fish. Still nowhere else fish fossils in such good condition have been discovered; part of the fossils can be viewed in the expositions and funds of Latvian Museum of Natural History. Nowadays clay is extracted by the company „Lode“ which produces finishing, oven-chimney, and construction bricks, as well as other clay items. The Lode armoured fish deposit is a protected nature monument.

Over 50 years ago as a young farm teenager, baling hay, milking cows and cleaning out hog sheds by hand guided my career decisions more than almost anything. In this photo, the past and the present of farming lie side by side. Round bales replaced the back breaking work of loading and unloading bales on a hay trailer. Few windmills in Minnesota still pump water and the old graineries have been largely replaced by newer methods of drying crops.

Checking the Barbie aisle I found a lone palentologist Barbie. Beyond being beautiful she is a triumph in the Barbie career verse for finding a way to best include pink while still being a realistic depiction of the chosen career. Great job, Babs!

British postcard in the Picturegoer Series, London, no. D 475. Photo: Associated British.
Janette Scott (1938) is a retired English actress, who started her career as a child actress at the age of 3. From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, she was a leading lady in British films in which she co-starred with Terry-Thomas, Ian Carmichael, and Laurence Olivier. She is best remembered from the line "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills" in the opening song of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Scott gave up her film career upon marrying singer Mel Torme.
Thora Janette Scott was born in 1938 in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. She is the daughter of actors Jimmy Scott and Thora Hird and began her acting career as a child actress known as Janette Scott. She made her film debut only 3-years-old in the British war film Went the Day Well? (Alberto Cavalcanti, 1942), adapted from a story by Graham Greene. The film was produced by Michael Balcon of Ealing Studios and served as unofficial propaganda for the war effort. It tells of how an English village is taken over by German paratroopers. After a few bit roles, she had her first big part as Jennifer in No Place for Jennifer (Henry Cass, 1950) with Leo Genn and Rosamund John. She played a young girl, who experiences a trauma when her parents' divorce. Another big role followed in the sports comedy The Galloping Major (Henry Cornelius, 1951), starring Basil Radford. The title is taken from the song 'The Galloping Major', and the plot was centered on gambling at the horse racing track. She also co-starred in the British 20th Century Fox production No Highway in the Sky/No Highway (Henry Koster, 1951), starring James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich. Scott appeared in the British Technicolor biographical drama The Magic Box (John Boulting, 1951). The film stars Robert Donat as William Friese-Greene, who first designed and patented one of the earliest working cinematic cameras. Told in flashback, the film details Friese-Greene's tireless experiments with the 'moving image', leading inexorably to a series of failures and disappointments, as others hog the credit for the protagonist's discoveries. Scott was briefly (along with Jennifer Gay) one of the so-called 'Children's Announcers' providing continuity links for the BBC's children's TV programs in the early 1950s. At the age of 14, Scott wrote her autobiography, 'Act One'. During the 1950s, she also appeared in such films as the divorce drama Background/Edge of Divorce (Daniel Birt, 1953) starring Valerie Hobson, the musical comedy As Long as They're Happy (J. Lee Thompson, 1955) starring Jack Buchanan and Diana Dors, and as Cassandra in the Hollywood epic Helen of Troy (Robert Wise, 1956), based on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Scott also had the leading role in the romance Now and Forever (Mario Zampi, 1956). It was Scott's first adult role in which she got her first screen kiss.
In the late 1950s, Janette Scott became a popular leading lady. She appeared with Ian Carmichael in the comedy Happy Is the Bride (Roy Boulting, 1958), and with Anna Neagle and Frankie Vaughan in The Lady Is a Square (Herbert Wilcox, 1958). She is known to American audiences for her role as the parson's wife in The Devil's Disciple (Guy Hamilton, 1959) starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Laurence Olivier. One of her other well-known roles is April Smith in the British comedy School for Scoundrels (Robert Hamer, 1960), based on the 'one-upmanship' books by Stephen Potter, in which Ian Carmichael and Terry-Thomas competed for her attention. Scott is referenced to in the song 'Science Fiction/Double Feature', the opening number from The Rocky Horror Show and its film version The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975) for her participation in The Day of the Triffids (Steve Sekely, 1962): "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." The British Science Fiction film stars Howard Keel and Nicole Maurey and was loosely based on the 1951 novel of the same name by John Wyndham. She later appeared in the Hammer thriller Paranoiac (Freddie Francis, 1963) with Oliver Reed, Siege of the Saxons (Nathan H. Juran, 1963), set in the time of King Arthur, and the American horror-comedy The Old Dark House (William Castle, 1963), a remake of the 1932 film by James Whale. The photo of the postcard was produced for The Beauty Jungle/ Contest Girl (Val Guest, 1964), about " the beauty profession and all of its hypocrisy and sordid publicity stunts", according to Wikipedia. Ordinarily a brunette, Scott dyed her hair blonde to take on a sort of sex bomb persona for the film. Her final films were the American Science-Fiction Crack in the World (Andrew Marton, 1965) a 'doomsday disaster movie' filmed in Spain, and the American comedy Bikini Paradise/White Savage (Gregg Tallas, 1967). In the meantime, she had married American Jazz singer Mel Torme and gave up her career to raise a family. Janette Scott has been married three times: to Canadian singer and TV host Jackie Rae (1959-1965; divorced), Mel Tormé (1966-1977; divorced), and William Rademaekers (since 1981). With Mel Tormé, she has two children, actress Daisy Tormé (1969) and songwriter James Tormé (1973). In 1997, she returned to the screen for a cameo in the popular TV series Last of the Summer Wine in the episode There Goes the Groom. Although she is credited in the cast of the British film How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (Robert B. Weide, 2008), Scott did not return to the cinema. Her character - the deceased mother of the Simon Pegg character - is seen only in flashbacks as a very young woman, extracts from her film Now and Forever (Mario Zampi, 1956).

Rehoboth Beach Police Department, Delaware
Chevrolet Tahoe (Slicktop)
Vehicle #734
Picture Date: 07/26/2014
A Rehoboth Beach Police Officer keeps an eye on things near the boardwalk on a busy Saturday afternoon.
One thing I noticed about their patrol vehicles while in town was that they no longer mark the rear. I would think this gives them more of an unnoticed appearance to vehicles or people approaching them from behind. I've noticed that more agencies seem to be doing this.
Rehoboth Beach is a very popular and family friendly beach town located in Sussex County, Delaware. Its population swells in summer months which causes the police department to hire seasonal police officers. Seasonals are sworn police officers for the state of Delaware but only for approximately three months. They do not carry firearms but it's a great way for a person to see if a career in law enforcement is for them.
British postcard by GoCard. Dennis Hopper in Der amerikanische Freund/The American Friend (Wim Wenders, 1977).
Dennis Hopper (1936-2010) was a multi-talented American actor, director, and visual artist, but also one of the true "enfants terribles" of Hollywood. In 1970, he won a Golden Palm for Easy Rider (1969) and Hopper was also Oscar-nominated for writing this groundbreaking anthem to freedom and rebellion. In 1987, he received a second nomination for his supporting role in Hoosiers (1986).
Dennis Lee Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas, in 1936. When he was 13, Hopper and his family moved to San Diego. Hopper was voted most likely to succeed at Helix High School, where he was active in the drama club, speech, and choir. It was there that he developed an interest in acting, studying at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. He attended the Actors Studio and made his first television appearance in the TV series Medic (1954). He debuted on the big screen in 1955 with a supporting role in the film that would make James Dean famous: Rebel Without a Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955). Dean was both his friend and mentor. They also appeared together in Giant (George Stevens, 1956), with Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor. Dean's death in a car accident in September 1955 affected the young Hopper deeply. Jason Ankeny at AllMovie: "After Dean's tragic death, it was often remarked that Hopper attempted to fill his friend's shoes by borrowing much of his persona, absorbing the late icon's famously defiant attitude and becoming so temperamental that his once-bright career quickly began to wane." Hopper appeared in the Western Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (John Sturges, 1957), starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. After a run-in with director Henry Hathaway on the set of From Hell to Texas (1958), Hopper was reportedly blackballed from major Hollywood feature film roles until 1965, during which time he was working on television. In 1961, Hopper played his first lead role in Night Tide, an atmospheric supernatural thriller involving a mermaid in an amusement park. He returned in The Sons of Katie Elder (Henry Hathaway, 1965), featuring John Wayne. Hopper also acted in another John Wayne film, True Grit (Henry Hathaway, 1969), and during its production, he became well acquainted with Wayne. He appeared in a number of psychedelic films, including The Trip (1967) and the Monkees feature Head (Bob Rafelson, 1968), but Hopper really became the symbol of the sex'n'drugs'n'rock'n'pop generation with Easy Rider (1969). He wrote the script together with co-star Peter Fonda and Terry Southern and it was also his directorial debut. Fonda, Hopper, and a young Jack Nicholson were the stars. They had less than half a million dollars in the budget and an idea about motorbikes, a drug deal, and an LSD trip. Besides showing drug use on film, it was one of the first films to portray the hippie lifestyle. Their long hair became a point of contention in various scenes during the film. Initially rejected by producer Roger Corman, the film became a countercultural touchstone. As the director, Hopper won wide acclaim for his improvisational methods and innovative editing. Easy Rider earned Hopper a Cannes Film Festival Award for "Best First Work" and he shared with Fonda and Southern a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film grossed forty million dollars worldwide and broke open the Hollywood bastion, benefiting a new generation of filmmakers from Martin Scorsese to Steven Spielberg.
Dennis Hopper's star faded considerably after the critical and commercial failure of his second film as director, The Last Movie (Dennis Hopper, 1971). Jason Ankeny calls it "an excessive, self-indulgent mess that, while acclaimed by jurors at the Venice Film Festival, was otherwise savaged by critics and snubbed by audiences." Hopper later admitted, he was seriously abusing various substances during the 1970s, both legal and illegal, which led to a downturn in the quality of his work. He acted in such interesting European films as Der amerikanische Freund/The American Friend (Wim Wenders, 1977) opposite Bruno Ganz. He returned to the Hollywood A-list thanks to his role as a pot-smoking, hyper-manic photojournalist in the Vietnam War epic and blockbuster Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979), alongside Marlon Brando and Martin Sheen. Hopper traveled to Canada to appear in a small film titled Out of the Blue. At the outset of the production, he was also asked to take over as director, and to the surprise of many, the picture appeared on schedule and to decent reviews and honours at the Cannes Film Festival. In 1983, Hopper entered a drug rehabilitation program, and that year he played critically acclaimed roles in Rumble Fish (Francis Ford Coppola, 1983) and the spy thriller The Osterman Weekend (Sam Peckinpah, 1983). He created a sensation as the aggressive, gas-huffing villain Frank Booth in the eerie and erotic Blue Velvet (David Lynch, 1986). For this role, he won critical acclaim and several awards. That same year he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as an alcoholic assistant of basketball coach Gene Hackman in Hoosiers (David Anspaugh, 1986). Hopper's fourth directorial outing came about through the controversial gang film Colors (1988), starring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. It was followed by an Emmy-nominated lead performance in Paris Trout (1991). In 1990, Dennis Hopper directed The Hot Spot, which was not a box-office hit. Hopper had more success portraying the villain of Speed (Jan de Bont, 1994), starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Hopper received a Razzie Award for his supporting role in Waterworld (Kevin Reynolds, 1997), starring Kevin Costner. In 2001, Hopper had a role in the television series 24. His life story counted five marriages, seven directions, and over 130 film and television appearances. He also collaborated on the Gorillaz song 'Fire Coming Out Of The Monkeys Head'. He recorded the lyrics for it. In addition to his film work, Hopper was also active as a visual artist; he worked as a photographer, painter, and sculptor. Among other things, he made the cover of the album River Deep - Mountain High by Ike & Tina Turner. In 2001, his work was exhibited in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. In 2009, Hopper's manager announced that Dennis Hopper had prostate cancer. He underwent several treatments. Future film plans were postponed. In January 2010, it was announced that Hopper was beyond treatment. On 26 March of the same year, Hopper was honoured with a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Dennis Hopper died in 2010, at the age of 74, at his home in Venice, California. Jason Ankeny at AllMovie: "The odyssey of Dennis Hopper was one of Hollywood's longest, strangest trips. A onetime teen performer, he went through a series of career metamorphoses -- studio pariah, rebel filmmaker, drug casualty, and comeback kid -- before finally settling comfortably into the role of character actor par excellence, with a rogues' gallery of killers and freaks unmatched in psychotic intensity and demented glee. " In 1971, Hopper had filmed scenes for Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind appearing as himself. After decades of legal, financial, and technical delays, the film was finally released on Netflix in 2018

Peter Case (born April 5, 1954) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. His career is wide-ranging, from rock n' roll and blues, to folk rock and solo acoustic performance.
Case was born in Buffalo, New York and lived in nearby Hamburg, New York. He wrote his first song "Stay Away," in 1965, at the age of eleven. A veteran of several rock bands and the local bar scene as a teenager, Case dropped out of high school when he was fifteen (he would later earn a GED), and after several years of traveling arrived in 1973 in San Francisco, where he performed as a street musician. During this period a documentary about the local music scene, Nightshift, directed by Bert Deivert, captured the young Case on film. In 1976, he teamed up with Jack Lee and Paul Collins to form the early punk-era band The Nerves in San Francisco. The group's 1976 EP track, "Hanging on the Telephone", was later recorded by Blondie.
The Nerves moved to Los Angeles on January 1, 1977, and played and promoted some of the first punk-era shows in that city, performing at The Masque, and the Whisky a Go Go, among other venues. They toured nationally in 1977, the first independent band of their era to do a national tour, as they opened shows for the Ramones, and Mink DeVille, and performed on co-bills with The Nuns, Devo, and Pere Ubu.
After the Nerves broke up in 1978, Case formed the rock n' roll band The Plimsouls in 1979. The Plimsouls became one of the top drawing live bands in California soon after the release of their debut EP "Zero Hour" on the Beat Records label in 1979. They grew in popularity and had two major label albums, the first on Planet/Elektra in 1981, and the next on Geffen Records, in 1983. In 1982, "A Million Miles Away" was released as a 12" single, on the Shaky City/Bomp! label, and became the band's signature song. It was a radio hit in California, and some other regions of the U.S. It eventually charted at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their songs "A Million Miles Away," "The Oldest Story in the World," and "Everywhere At Once" were included in the movie Valley Girl (1983), but by the time that movie had become a cult favorite, the group had broken up.
Case briefly performed with Gurf Morlix, Victoria Williams (Case's first wife), and Warren Tornado Klein as the Incredibly Strung Out Band, but their collaboration never resulted in a record.
Solo career
Case struck out on his own with the self-titled album Peter Case released in 1986 on Geffen Records. Produced by T-Bone Burnett and Mitchell Froom, the record included three songs co-written by Burnett and one by Victoria Williams, and also featured the talents of Williams, Morlix, Klein, Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), John Hiatt, Jim Keltner, Jerry Marotta, Roger Mcguinn (of The Byrds), and Van Dyke Parks, among others. One of the songs on the album, "Old Blue Car," was nominated for a Grammy Award. Robert Palmer chose the album as the No. 1 release for 1986 in his year-in-review wrap-up for The New York Times.
In 1989, Case released a second solo album, The Man With the Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar, this time with the help of artists like David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Ry Cooder, and Benmont Tench. While not a major commercial success, the album was a favorite of critics and other musicians: Bruce Springsteen told Rolling Stone magazine that he was listening to Peter Case more than anyone else that year.
Case married actress Diane Sherry in 1990. Together they had two children. They were divorced in 2004.
In 1992, Case scored a radio hit with the song "Dream About You" which peaked at #16 on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock charts. After a third album for Geffen, Six Pack of Love, Case recorded a live-in-the-studio album of cover versions of folk, blues, and country songs, Peter Case Sings Like Hell, which was released on Case's own Travelin' Light label. Case signed a contract with Vanguard Records, and the record was re-released on that label in 1993. His next Vanguard record, Torn Again, was issued in 1995, and features Case with a band including the rhythm section of Don Heffington and Jerry Scheff, with Greg Leisz on guitar.
In 1996, the Plimsouls reunited for the first of several reunions. Throughout the19'90s and early 2000s, Case continued to release albums as a solo performer, moving in an increasingly acoustic-oriented direction, and playing clubs and small venues. Torn Again was followed by Full Service No Waiting (1998), Flying Saucer Blues (2000), and Beeline (2002) all on Vanguard, in addition to Thank You St. Jude (2001), a self-released CD that featured David Perales on fiddle and background vocals. In a review of Flying Saucer Blues, critic Bill Wasserzieher declared, "I am convinced that nobody of Case's generation writes better songs or does better work in the tradition of Woody Guthrie."
In 2004 Vanguard released Who's Gonna Go Your Crooked Mile, a compilation of tracks from his albums for the label, which also included two previously unrecorded songs, "Wake Up Call" and "My Generation's Golden Handcuff Blues". Both tracks gave evidence of Case's strongly held political convictions.
In the late 1990s, he curated the musical program for the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2001, he organized, produced, and performed on Avalon Blues, a tribute album to blues music pioneer Mississippi John Hurt, which was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album. Case also performed Beatles songs at the Hollywood Bowl with George Martin. Case's solo performances have featured his own compositions as well as covers of songs by Memphis Minnie, Sleepy John Estes, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and others. He frequently conducts songwriting workshops in California, where he now resides, and in other locations.
In February 2006, Hungry for Music, a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, released a three-disc tribute to Case, entitled A Case for Case; the set featured cover versions of Case's songs performed by various artists, including John Prine, Susan Cowsill, Joe Ely, Dave Alvin, Maura O'Connell and others.
In 2006 Case began posting on his blog sections of a memoir entitled As Far As You Can Get Without a Passport, which was subsequently issued in book form in January 2007 by Everthemore Books. The memoir covers Case's very early days from the time he left his native upstate New York and wound up singing and playing on the streets of San Francisco. This period inspired some of his most memorable songs, including "Entella Hotel "and "Travellin' Light." John Doe, co-founder of the Los Angeles punk band X, contributed an introduction to the book. Case has continued to write and post autobiographical additional material.
On December 6, 2007, Case's Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album. The record was produced by Ian Brennan. The album featured "Every 24 Hours," a duet with Richard Thompson on harmony vocals and guitar, and "That Soul Twist," a duet with Merle Haggard pedal-steel man Norm Hamlet.
In January 2009, Case underwent heart surgery, leading to fund raising efforts by other musicians to help defray his medical costs. Case's next project, Wig!, a CD/LP was released on June 29, 2010 by Yep Roc Records. The record was an interpretation of electric blues, and featured D.J. Bonebrake on drums, and Memphis musician Ron Franklin on slide guitar and electric piano. Case and Franklin composed a number of the songs the day before the sessions, which lasted three days.
In 2012, The Case Files, a compilation of "studio out-takes, demos, and live shots," was released by Alive Naturalsound Records. This record included two 1985 demos made with T-Bone Burnett, some spoken word pieces with music from a longer piece called Bomblight Prayer Vigil, and various other Case rarities.
In December 2014, Case went into the Carriage House studio in Los Angeles, and recorded HWY 62, an LP of new original songs, with a band including Ben Harper on lead guitar, D.J. Bonebrake of X, on drums, keyboardist Jebin Bruni, and bassist David Carpenter. The album was released in 2015.
September 2016 saw the re-release of his debut solo album expanded with 6 extra tracks.
Reunion tribute tour
In 2012, longtime musical partners Case and Paul Collins announced a reunion tour paying tribute to their groups The Nerves, The Breakaways, The Beat and The Plimsouls. The touring band line-up for the Collins and Case tour was augmented by members of The Paul Collins Beat (Timm Buechler, bass, and Amos Pitsch of Tenement, drums, and Tim Schweiger, a veteran musician). According to the Los Angeles Times Music Blog of March 22, 2012, the tour "fell apart" early due to "musical differences". (Wikipedia).
