It's Kids Clothes Week again which means I'm making the girls stuff they don't actually need! Honestly though, it's more fun when I'm making what I want rather than what they need. I've done the legging blitz before and I can't say I enjoy it. I'd rather let myself go where my inspiration takes me.
This time around, it's the fabric I bough at Liberty of London. I bought this heart jersey for V (to tell you the truth, I really hope I can get something out of it for me too!) and it told me it wanted to be a swingy top. It's very fluid so I'm guessing it's rayon rather than cotton (I never checked but the Liberty jersey they have at fabric.com is rayon so I'm guessing this is too). I did put it in the dryer though and it didn't pill at all unlike the other rayon jersey I have. Good to know you get real quality for the price, right?
I started out with my trusty Jalie 2805. I love it so so much! The wide range of sizes, sleeve lengths, necklines… Are you sick of hearing me gush about this one yet?
I started with the crew neck and short sleeves as you can probably tell. I decided to go for a tunic length so I added some length. I measured 20″ from top of shoulder to the length I wanted and then made it a bit longer to account for hem allowance. Then I added 2″ of width at the side seam (so 8″ around) and drew that line up for a bit (so parallel to the side seam). I marked where I wanted the flare to start (1″ below the armpit) and measured the length from there to the hem. I used that number (X) to find where my side seam needed to end. It's really hard to explain without a drawing but here goes. I placed my ruler with the 0 at the flare point. Then I angled the ruler until the number X matched up with the line from the extra width I put in earlier. That meant that the new side seam finished higher than the hem, right? I drew a line from that point to old hemline, making sure to square that corner. Finally I smoothed the angles with my french curve, cut everything out, and used that pattern piece to copy my mods to the back.
Assembly was straight forward, the same as a regular T-shirt. Oh! I actually used the regular straight stitch on my machine for hemming. The fabric stretches a little as it goes under the presser foot which helps with elasticity. The seam looks a little rumpled after its done but a quick steam and press fixes it. And it's plenty stretchy! I'm amazed at how well it worked.
What a cute tunic! I can tell she really loves it too! That fabric is really pretty.
That fabric is perfect for her! I'll have to try hemming something with a straight stitch sometime… probably best on flared silhouettes like this one right?
It is, isn't it? Yeah, I've only used the straight stitch when I wasn't worried about stretch. But on this fabric (rayon/lycra blend I think), it stayed very very stretchy. In their patterns, Jalie actually says you can use a straight stitch on knits as long as you use a slightly longer stitch and stretch the fabric a little as you go. I didn't lengthen my stitch but it's essentially the same technique.
I sewed some baby tights with a straight stitch while stretching a while back and only one small area popped, but I've had a lot of trouble with hems popping so I've been scared to try it for that… I will now though!
Yeah, I've had so many different hemming techniques pop on me that I'm never 100% confident anymore. When I'm worried about a straight stitch popping, I tend to use the triple stitch on my machine. It has a bit of stretch and gives a nice straight line. I haven't used my twin needles in months!
Such lovely fabric, although very short it does look cute as a dress. Little ones can get away with it.

The proof is here for the art cover special edition of LOVE AND QUARTERS - the soon to be released poetry collection from Moran Press written by Gabriel Ricard. I've been sharing samples and video readings from this collection and now we can see it in book form. It's a beautiful cover and I can't wait for people to get this wonderful artwork into their hands.
The simple question today - would you like to reserve a special art cover edition of this book? If so, click the link at the end of the post. No money required - I'm looking to get a count to see if there's enough interest and for ordering purposes. Thank you.
I am definitely going to want like 10 copies.


A year ago, the writer of the message that got circulated among officers, met Rengarajan. She then wanted to return to Tamil Nadu through an inter-cadre deputation. "'I think I should not be wearing a wig and make up…' Sripriya smiled when she said, but I could see tears swell in her eyes. She had been fighting cancer for two years and now wanted to take a deputation back home," the message mentioned.
Twelve years ago, when Rengarajan became the topper from Tamil Nadu and got an All-India rank of 72 in civil services examinations, The Hindu newspaper carried an article titled, "From housewife to topper". A graduate in law, she took Tamil and law as her main subjects for the civils. "Preparing for examinations even while taking care of two kids was no mean task," the May 2003 report said.
As an IAS, she joined as assistant collector in Pashchim Medinipur district in 2004, and later served as district magistrate (DM) of Hooghly district among other postings.
As her disease spread in her body, she wanted an inter-cadre deputation so that she could continue work and spend some time with her family too. She did not get inter-cadre deputation. Instead, she was allowed to proceed on leave. As the officer-writer wrote in the message, "officers do not have this luxury of private space". "District Magistrate transferred abruptly due to liaison with a Junior Colleague", was the headline of a newspaper report next day. "It was a prominent juicy news item on front page. When officers protested with Press Council, the newspaper published a two line rejoinder on an inconsequential page," message added.
When the writer of the message met the officer for the last time, this is what the writer remembered her: "the lining of her bald skull peeping from the wig and her frail exhausted face". She was allowed to stay at her place but was denied the dignity to work there, the message said. "She bade farewell with a sad face and I did not see her after that day," the writer said.
"Almost a year later when I heard about her demise, I felt lonely in this heartless bureaucracy. Is it worth it to serve honestly at faraway places, leaving friends and family and still bear this ignominy?" the writer-officer asked his fellow bureaucrats.
This is what is the truth of the Civil services. We all join with a myth that we will get opportunity to serve our country but end up serving the masters we never ever thought we will. I feel really sorry on Sripriya Rangrajan case but this has happened in past and it will keep on happening unless we all Civil Servant come together and fight with divide and rule policy prevailing as due tp 10% civil servant 90% are suffering as public think all are rascle, thief, manipulators and do not deserve any perk or previlages.
If this is the fate of an IAS officer, one could well imagine about other low rung officers. By and large people used to criticize Govt. servants. Actually, there are larger population of Govt. servants who serve with sincerity and honesty, saddest part is that their commitment goes unnoticed. No recognition from the society for sincere Govt. servants except for one or two. If this continues, in future, no one who is sincere, honest, industrious would prefer Govt. service.
Not true...let us not generalise. There are officers who are very humble in their approach...and then there are some who think of themselves as Gods gift to the service. We must not paint them all with the same brush.
Feeling really sad to read this. I recall an old incident dating back to 1962. One of my class fellow's dad was a senior IAS officer. I asked my classfellow at PEC Chandigarh whether he would like to become an IAS. He told me his daddy wants him to become anything but never an IAS in India . Looks like not much has changed in India since then.
The Government service has last its charm. To top it now the crowd around not anymore enthralling!. Mine is third generation and be the last.
RIP. Sorry friends but i have to say this. This happens . Often hi-fi people or intellectuals dont believe in yoga/ayurveda/naturopathy/mediatation they believe only in big allopathy hospital due to ego. They hate such indigenous methods .They think themself modern . These people made their mindset by reading newspapers editorials . People should read news only and then make his mindset accordingly no need to read editorials . Eg 'the hindu' 'outlook'''etc these r poisonous and anti indian culture too . After reading such poisonous news and editorials these people try to maintain that standard which they read in editorials . This is dangerous. They read others thinking they dont have their own thinking so due to mental slavery they suffer.
May the soul rest in peace. However I think she as an IAS must have faced much better conditions than officers of other cadre fellows posted in the same town/ region and they are left by the Govt at their own mercy. At least the IAS and other entrenched cadres have their cadre support in various ways..
I have full sympathy with Govt. officers. But I have seen many IAS officers who are very arrogant, corrupt and non performers. IAS have monopolized all the important posts of Govt. Even better officers of other govt. services are not allowed to take important positions. This tendency of IAS is not good for country.
" Even if you die on this table working for government , government will not give your family anything extra, rather they would be compelled to fight even their rightful dues, so don't become over sentimental and spoil your health, social & family life by serving after hours in office. At the end of the day, your health and your family is your headache. The department was working before you and would even work without you, the additional charges, held by officers are a testimony to it. The show must go on is the motto, but your role is a limited one in the show."
Even after a considerable time in field, I have not seen considerate seniors, may be because their seniors are/were also not considerate, or may be such inconsideration makes us inconsiderate after some time.
Some one has rightly pointed out that, other than IAS/IPS, other services have to fight battles on many fronts to lead a dignified life as an officer.
this is a very unfortunate incident, but unfortunately this is the price, we pay for dreaming to serve India and yes people do tell us, who told you to do so, 'Aap koi Ehsaan nahi kar rahe' please resign and go.
Am sorry about the young death. May her soul rest in peace. But friends what are you really complaining about? Is this the threshold of your getting disappointed with the service? Surely all of you must be very comfortable otherwise.
IAS is a rotten fraternity now. They would attend in large numbers if a pet of an influential person dies. But they are too busy even to attend the funeral of a fellow IAS officers!

This article is part of our essay series, "Why Be Jewish?," based off of "Why Be Jewish?"—a new book by the late Edgar M. Bronfman. Read the rest in the series here.
The question "Why Be Jewish?" is impossible to answer in a short blog post. Edgar Bronfman, of blessed memory, explored the idea in an entire book, providing him the opportunity to describe the lessons he gleaned from the last decades of his life when studying Judaism was a central passion.
Since I only have this small space, not a whole book, I've summarized my answer in nine words: I am Jewish for me, not for my kids. Though now of course I ought to explain what I mean.
At Kveller, a site about raising Jewish families, perhaps it's unexpected to take the next generation out of the equation when answering the question, "Why be Jewish?" Continuity has been the banner of "Why be Jewish?" for too long among Jewish organizations and within families. But I don't believe the goal of continuity is a compelling reason to be Jewish, do Jewish, or stay Jewish. How can we ask our children to continue what we adults might not yet have continued for ourselves?
Continuity is a guilt proposition. Continuity implies that I ought to be Jewish because those who came before me were Jewish. Perhaps honoring our ancestors, especially those who remained Jewish against significant odds, can serve as one of many reasons to make space for Judaism in our lives. But how can "continuity" function as a genuine source of inspiration in a single generation, let alone hundreds of generations? Continuity of what? What is so special about Judaism? If the adults in the house can't answer that question, why should the kids feel compelled to continue the faith, tradition, and culture?
Why am I Jewish? Yes, I was born to Jewish parents, but I have no problem admitting that I am selfishly what I call "adult Jewish" for me, not for my kids. Likewise I hope if my kids choose to stay Jewish (not simply "be" Jewish adults but to "live" as Jews in whatever form that takes) that they will do so for all that Judaism offers to their lives, not for the sake of their parents and grandparents, and not only for the sake of their own children, which can too often leave Judaism stuck in the realm of cutesy holiday songs and crafts.
That system Brown refers to, Judaism, is not something I do perfectly, not even close. (Every rabbi I've ever studied with acknowledges that each person has room to grow.) Like Bronfman in the last decades of his life, I am always learning about Judaism as an adult. While I struggle to implement its tenets, I take pleasure and satisfaction in absorbing as much wisdom as I can from teachers in my community, teachers in books, and even good thinkers around the internet where there is no shortage of great material about Judaism and adult-centered conversations about faith.
Do I agree with everything I read and hear? No. Do I implement everything I learn? No. But do I struggle with Judaism in a way I believe adds tremendously to my life? Yes! Struggling with Judaism means engaging in the world below the surface of everyday life. The struggle, the wresting with it all—that is the point.
The Judaism my kids see their parents engage in it at home is full of inquiry, tradition, and attempts at personal improvement. We don't always reach our goals, but they see us trying. Perhaps when my kids are adults they will decide that their Jewish heritage is not the path for them, but I won't regret imbuing my adult life with the richness of Judaism.

Indian martial art from the southern state of Kerala has long been known for its varied forms of martial arts and sports. The martial arts training centers during the olden days used to be almost like a Gurukul where the students went in at a very young age of seven or eight when the body is still and supple. The Guru or the preceptor trains the student in many subjects including Ayurveda, the science of herbal healing and Yoga to awaken the mental or psychic powers.
They are accustomed with meticulous martial arts training for several years. One of the oldest fighting systems in existence is Kalaripayattu which was been practiced in Kerala from ancient times. The term kalaripayattu is a tatpurusha compound from the words 'kalari', which means school or gymnasium and 'payattu', meaning to "fight/ exercise" or "to put hard work into".
Special martial arts training were provided to the royal militarily guards and the religious warriors. Thus martial arts training were a complete study by its own and took many years for a person in bringing it to perfection.
Use of arms and implements such as knife, bow and arrow, sword, stick etc. were taught to the disciple besides freehand combat. Martial arts display formed a common performance in temple festivals and other important occasions. Some sports such as Njaninmel Kali (tightrope walking) were also much favored. It is this expertise in the field of martial arts and sports that has paved the way for training in circus acts. Kalari payat became more developed during the 9th century and was practiced by a section of the Hindu community, warrior clan of Kerala, to defend the state and the king.
There are two distinct systems of kalaripayattu in Kerala, the northern and the southern kalari schools. In northern kalari school (called vadakkan kalari), emphasis is on fighting with sword. Flexibility of body is achieved through specific massage techniques. Medicated oils are used in massaging the body for strength and flexibility. In southern kalari, prominence is on empty hand fighting. Flexibility of body is achieved through different exercises.Both systems of kalari use different types of massage oils and herbal medicines.
Kalaripayattu or kalari Ayurvedic Treatments has great scope in sports medicine. Injuries happened to the students at a kalari (arena) are quickly healed by application of herbs and/or massages. A master of kalari is knowledgeable about marma (vital points on the body), medicines and proper massage techniques in addition to the knowledge of fighting.
Practicing kalari is the best way of for healthy, flexible body and alert mind. There is difference in the footsteps of an innocent person and of a person with malice in mind. A kalari practitioner can identify the difference between the two.

More Than 20,000 Cross Into Afghanistan During Two-Day Pakistan Border Reopening
People wait to cross the border into Afghanistan from Pakistan at the Torkham border post in Pakistan's Khyber Agency on March 7.
Pakistan's border police say more than 20,000 Afghans and Pakistanis have crossed into Afghanistan since March 7 since Pakistani authorities temporarily reopened two main crossings that were closed after a series of militant attacks.
The figures on the number of people making the crossing during the temporary reopening was announced on March 8 by Faiz Khan, a Pakistani official at the Torkham crossing into eastern Afghanistan.
Khan said thousands more people were waiting late on March 8 at Torkham and the Chaman crossing into Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar -- hoping to cross into Afghanistan before the two-day opening was set to end.
Islamabad closed its Torkham and Chaman crossings on February 16 after a series of suicide attacks in Pakistan that killed dozens of children, soldiers, and police officers.
Islamabad claimed that the attacks were carried out by militants who were crossing into Pakistan from Afghanistan.

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." Charles Goodhart (1975)[i]
From the Telegraph, UK: "In February 2010, the first report into the scandal of appalling nursing at Stafford Hospital — where patients were left in filthy sheets, their dressings unchanged while nurses shouted at and mocked them — concluded that in order to achieve the coveted Foundation status, the hospital trust's management had become obsessed with meeting government targets rather than looking after the patients…Nurses elsewhere endlessly repeat this complaint. Everything has to be documented. Everything is driven by 'performance targets' which have to be audited."[ii] " Meanwhile, nurses were instructed by senior nurse colleagues to falsify waiting times, and to claim that patients had been seen more quickly than they were."[iii]
From the healthcare example, we can see the effects of Charles Goodhart's insightful quote on the use of targets and unintended consequences. Dr. W. Edwards Deming was more direct and to the point; "Fear invites wrong figures."[iv]
When leaders and managers employ the use of numerical goals, the intent is usually to cause improvement as opposed to using the measure for judgment. Deming noted three unintended consequences of numerical goals:
"Will a numerical goal be achieved? Anybody can achieve almost any goal by:
• Redefinition of terms
• Distortion and faking
• Running up costs"[v]
The unintended consequences of goals and targets where there is no method is pervasive throughout industry, government, healthcare and education. We have had several attempts to improve education over the last three decades. This has led to teachers being fired and charged criminally.[vi] Donald T. Campbell warned of this problem in what has become known as Campbell's law:
"The more any quantitative social indicator (or even some qualitative indicator) is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
Associates in Process Improvement (API) has attempted to strike a balance on the use of goals and targets:[vii]
"Advice about the use of numerical goals in setting an aim for an improvement project could include "Never use them" or "Always provide one and let other people figure out how to achieve it." This book's authors recognize the abuses associated with numerical goals and the potential unintended consequences when people are held responsible for results they are not capable of achieving…We do not believe these instances of poor practice or abuse should preclude beneficial use of numerical goals.
We also recognize some hardy souls need only the challenge of a numerical goal to find ways to actually improve the system. Our experience indicates that a middle ground between these two extremes is achievable and useful.
First and foremost, numerical goals must be connected to methods for achieving the goals. Leaders should understand that to improve a stable system beyond the current level of performance a fundamental change is needed…here are some initial considerations to develop methods for achieving numerical goals:
Observe other organizations that have accomplished similar goals.
Give some basic concepts or ideas that could feasibly result in achieving the goal.
Draw out ideas from participants themselves by asking questions such as, "What would it take to get a 50 percent reduction in time to ship an order?" From the healthcare example above; what would it take to reduce wait time and patient harm?
Ask experts on the changes being considered what level of improvement is possible.
Numerical goals can also be a convenient way to communicate expectations. What are the consequences of not meeting the numerical goal? Are small and incremental improvements expected, or are large breakthrough changes necessary? If the numerical goal is used well, it communicates not only the expectation but also the support that will be offered. Large changes to big systems usually require investment of time and capital. When first using a goal to break the current bounds of the status quo, leaders must furnish:
An explanation of the need for and feasibility of the goal
Assurances the goals will be used to cause new thinking and learning, and not for judgment
Systems thinking informs us that one can create the illusion of improvement by only focusing on one measure of the system. Improvement requires that we focus on multiple measures to mitigate the unintended consequences noted by Deming. Specifically, three types of measures can be used to ensure a fundamental change in patient waiting time:
Outcome Measures – Waiting Time
Process Measures – Number of patients scheduled; number of drop in patients
Balancing Measures – Cost per patient; patient satisfaction.
Please note the bold and underlined statement used earlier; First and foremost, numerical goals must be connected to methods for achieving the goals. This is directly from our learning from Deming and has been verified in our work experience in API. A project where the solution is unknown, may not have a method. This has to be developed. Deming would chide his audiences; "If you have a method, why did you not do it last year? There can be only one reason; you were goofing off." Of course this got a laugh, but there is a lesson here as well. The people with whom we are working usually have full time jobs. Taking time to develop, test and implement changes in the unknown, is already a daunting task. What they need is help from sponsors, not expectations for more judgment; they already have plenty of that. So if the sponsor is showing up and removing barriers and doing their part, they will have a good idea of when the team is to be finished. Deming would call this "substituting leadership."

Where are all the Innovative – Cuddly leaders?
The temptation of consultants and others is to reform leaders based on our personal perspectives; what good leadership means to us personally. This can mean the projection of our personality type on the leader.
Let's review the basic personality types. Maccoby and Scudder (2010) have offered the following description of the evolution of the theory of personality as developed by Sigmund Freud and Erich Fromm:
Sigmund Freud first used his model to help explain psychopathology, but he also employed it to describe three normal personality types he called:
1. Erotic – a caring personality with a strong value of loving and caring relationship. Fromm's work refers to the non-productive version of this type as the Receptive Orientation.
2. Narcissistic – independent and not open to intimidation; characterized by an ego with a large amount of aggressiveness at its disposal, which also manifests itself in a readiness for activity. Fromm's work refers to the non-productive version of this type as the Exploitative Orientation.
3. Obsessive – ideals of hard work and conscientiousness; characterized by a demanding super-ego, strong commands programmed in childhood. Fromm's work refers to the non-productive version of this type as the Hoarding Orientation.
Erich Fromm described the non-productive orientations and their related productive characteristics in an effort to move people toward increased productivity. He accepted and modified Freud's types and added a fourth type to Freud's trio; the marketing personality. Just as the obsessive personality is the bureaucratic prototype; the marketing personality fits the typical Interactive Social Character.
4. Marketing – the ego-ideal is radar-like, orienting behavior to what is "appropriate" according to group values and pressures; to avoid looking bad.
Dr. Michael Maccoby has described the four basic types of personality developed by Freud and Fromm as the Caring, Visionary, Exacting and Adaptive. These terms are very much in line with the original work from Freud and Fromm.
Many books on leadership are written from the perspective of the leader being caring. When the author develops this scenario of the "caring boss," they may be projecting on to the leader those traits they value. Circumstances and context often define the need for other strengths in our leaders. Maccoby observed that many of the leaders he encountered were far from cuddly; in fact some, at times, could be downright mean. This dissonance in what authors found desirable versus the reality caused Maccoby to reflect on his past and present work with leaders (the following is taken from Narcissistic Leaders ---Who succeeds and who fails.):
"The emergence of a new kind of leader caused me to reexamine all of my theories about leaders and personality. I went back to the psychoanalytic teachings of Sigmund Freud and the psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm (1900– 1980) and sifted through thirty years of experience inside corporations, working with CEOs both as a consultant and psychoanalyst.
I rethought my understanding of historical figures and literature. What emerged surprised me. The psychological portrait of today's business leaders that takes into account their personality traits, describing how they achieve innovations, engage followers, and react to the euphoria of success as well as the stress of setbacks, most closely fits the normal personality type that Freud called narcissistic: "People belonging to this type impress others as being 'personalities'; they are especially suited to act as a support for others, to take on the role of leaders and to give a fresh stimulus to cultural development or to damage the established state of affairs." In other words, these are the type of people who are most likely to say that they want to change the world.
I'm using the term "narcissism" to describe some of the most important business leaders in the world; but how could a word that's become synonymous with all sorts of self-centered behavior—a sense of overall superiority and entitlement, a lack of empathy or understanding of others, the need for constant attention and admiration, and overall arrogance— apply to them? These days, in both the psychiatric field and in colloquial conversation, "narcissism" has become a term for egoism, egocentricity, or just plain bad manners. But I believe the concept of narcissism has been widely misunderstood ever since Freud coined it after Ovid's pathologically self -involved creature from Greek mythology. I want to bring about a radical new definition of the term and the way we think about leadership, and show you how your understanding of productive narcissism can help you.
The type of person who impresses us as a personality, who disrupts the status quo and brings about change. Narcissists have very little or no psychic demands that they have to do the right thing. Freed from these internal constraints, they are forced to answer, for themselves, what is right, to decide what they value, what, in effect, gives them a sense of meaning. They create their own vision, a sense of purpose that not only engages them but also inspires others to follow them."
Maccoby also identified the strengths and weaknesses of the Productive Narcissist:
STRENGTHS OF THE PRODUCTIVE NARCISSIST
• Visioning to change the world and create meaning
• Independent thinking/ risk taking
• Passion
• Charisma
• Voracious learning
• Alertness to threats
• Sense of humor
WEAKNESSES OF THE PRODUCTIVE NARCISSIST
• Extreme sensitivity to criticism
• Not listening
• Extreme competitiveness
• Anger and put-downs
• Exaggeration
• Lack of self-knowledge
• Isolation
• Grandiosity
When the weaknesses manifest themselves in the leader, these weaknesses are then targeted to be "fixed" by authors, consultants and others. Unfortunately, these weaknesses come with the strengths. The leader, if aware, can learn to mitigate these weaknesses, but from time to time, given the circumstances, they may rear their ugly head.
We have focused on the Productive Narcissist (Visionary) leader. However, the other basic types of personality all have strengths and weaknesses. For more on the other types and more importantly, how to have a productive relationship with your Productive Narcissistic Boss, we highly recommend reading Maccoby's book; Narcissistic Leaders ---Who succeeds and who fails.

Book Review: 'You Think You Know Me' by Clare Chase.
Sometimes its not easy to tell the good guys from the bad….
First off, I LOVED THIS BOOK! I read the synopsis and thought it sounded good, but actually the description doesn't do it enough justice. This book is filled with mystery and intrigue right from the beginning, all the way through to the end.
It begins with Anna attending an art gallery launch belonging to an old university friend. Anna had lost contact with Seb, but their relationship soon gets back on track. At this same event, Anna meets a stranger who we learn is called Darrick. Anna can't stop thinking about him, despite many people warning her off him.
We know there is a bad guy somewhere within this story, but we don't know who it is or what exactly they have done or are still going to do…..
Anna has to think who she should trust! The storyline made me wonder what I would do!! Would I follow my heart and my lust and keep seeing the new man? Or would I trust the opinions of an old friend, who I haven't seen for years, but when we were friends, we were good friends. The title is a great title for this book, its very appropriate.
"You Think You Know Me"…….. do you really???? Its so good.
Throughout the book, I suspected everybody. I even suspected Sally and Alicia at points!! They are Anna's housemates. Sally loves to talk and share with Anna, and Alicia is Anna's cousin. She is rather bossy and likes to think she is keeping Anna on the right tracks and giving her all the advice that she thinks Anna should be taking!
Anna is a great lead character. She is a free lance journalist, and has a journalistic mind wanting to explore the information that she sees as possible evidence. She wants to find out the truth before making any decisions. Despite everybody telling her what she should be doing or what she should be thinking, she wants to find out for herself.
The author keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat right til the last chapter. The end of this book is fantastic, I loved the ending and when I got close, I couldn't put it down.
I love this author after reading this one book, and hope there is lots more coming from Clare Chase's imagination.
You can buy this book on Amazon now.

The Hayden Orpheum at Cremorne began life as The Orpheum on October 3, 1935.
It was, at the time, a much grander movie theatre than most suburban movie houses, and for many years made the clumsily-worded boast of being "Sydney's only suburban city movie theatre". The justification for this claim was that it was built as a theatre, and could screen films or live cast musicals for its 1735 seats, over two levels.
Backstage there were dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and a functioning fly-tower to store and 'fly' scenery. It was a proper 'legit' stage and played host to the Australian ballet etc.
The theatre remained intact, albeit very run down, until it was bought by commercial property developers. Despite the protests of some theatre supporters, it was savagely ripped apart, and a second-rate shopping arcade and a health gymnasium installed. A concrete slab was installed horizontally, and the only part of the theatre that remained above it was the decaying art deco ceiling and parts of the proscenium. It was virtually inaccessible to all – apart from the pigeons who made it their home.
In December, 1986, Mike Walsh O.B.E bought The Orpheum for his Hayden Group of Companies.
Together with noted Theatre Historian and designer, John Love, he embarked on his plans to restore it. As the shops all had current leases, he was initially restricted to restoring the old dress circle area, and the gym – the former ballroom- into what are now The Orpheum and The Lounge cinemas.
Loving attention was paid to art deco restoration and creation, and a Mighty Wurlitzer organ from the Fresno Theatre in California was installed. The original Orpheum had been built with chambers for this, but one was never installed.
A spectacularly restored Hayden Orpheum opened on December 9, 1987.
Mike Walsh tirelessly pursued getting the arcade area back, as the leases expired, or shopkeepers quit. Determined to get more screens into the site to make it a viable complex, he sounded out the North Sydney Council about building up. This was not accepted, so he decided to go down and carve new cinemas into the sandstone upon which the original theatre was built.
Today The Hayden Orpheum has six screens, all state of the art equipment. But the looks of each cinema are a tribute to an individual Art Deco/Modern style. The main and largest auditorium is The Orpheum, and the others all bear names of popular cinemas from The Golden Age – such as The Arcadia and the Rex. For good measure, the one John Love designed in tribute to Mike's favourite Art Modern cinema in Melbourne, The Century, proudly bears The Walsh as its name.
Digital projection and sound, plus the ability to show all film gauges, round out the technical aspects. There is also 'stage lighting' in two cinemas to cover the frequently staged concerts and cine/variety programmes that are a staple feature.
The Hayden Orpheum Cremorne is unique in the world and will now entertain many more generations.

One good deed is more worth than a thousand brilliant theories. Let us not wait for large opportunities, or for a different kind of work, but do just the things we "find to do" day by day. We have no other time in which to live. The past is gone; the future has not arrived; we never shall have any time but time present.
Then do not wait until your experience has ripened into maturity before you attempt to serve God. Endeavor now to bring forth fruit. Serve God now, but be careful as to the way in which you perform what you find to do–"do it with thy might." Do it promptly; do not fritter away your life in thinking of what you intend to do tomorrow as if that could recompense for the idleness of today. No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow. If we honor Christ and are blessed, it is by the things which we do today. Whatever you do for Christ, throw your whole soul into it. Do not give Christ a little slurred labor, done as a matter of course now and then; but when you do serve him, do it with heart, and soul, and strength.
But where is the might of a Christian? It is not in himself, for he is perfect weakness. His might lies in the Lord of Hosts. Then let us seek his help; let us proceed with prayer and faith, and when we have done what our "hand finds to do," let us wait upon the Lord for his blessing. What we do thus will be well done, and will not fail in its effect.

Some of TV's Highest-Paid Actors Aren't Even on TV Yet
by Brooke Marine
Marla Aufmuth/Getty Images
Television salaries are rapidly changing, according to a new report from Variety. Thanks to a new California state law, employers cannot ask prospective employees about their salaries from previous jobs, and Hollywood is not exempt from this rule.
Now, rather than offer an actor a quote that leaned on a prospective employer's knowledge of the actor's salary at previous gigs, performers and producers are hoping to achieve parity across genders, races, and ethnicities when it comes to offering an actor a salary that does not depend on however much money they made from his or her last project. These new guidelines have also increased the budgets of executives looking to hire top talent for premier content. As a result, some actors are making roughly a million dollars per episode of their respective television series.
Some of the usual suspects—Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead, Elisabeth Moss from The Handmaid's Tale, even Kelly Clarkson on The Voice—make the list of television's top 10 highest earners in Hollywood. Reedus and Moss are hitting the $1 million per episode mark for their participation in their respective television series, while Clarkson clocks in at about $560,000 per episode (and $14 million total per season) for the reality singing competition.
In recent years, audiences have been pleasantly surprised that many performers we have come to know as primarily film actors have pivoted to prestige television. Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman may be the most well-known examples of that phenomenon thanks to their roles on Big Little Lies. Even Cate Blanchett is reportedly set to star in a new FX series about Phyllis Schlafly, a deeply conservative American lawyer. America's silver-screen sweetheart, Julia Roberts, will do the same with the upcoming Amazon series Homecoming (for which she makes $600,000 an episode).
Other performers scheduled to appear on the small screen, which made them big, are Jennifer Aniston, who is set to star in Apple's untitled drama about a morning talk show (along with Witherspoon and Steve Carell as her costars, both of whom make the top-ten list of earners due to their respective roles on this project). Yet the highest-paid actor on television, according to this new Variety report, is actually Javier Bardem, who received $1.2 million per episode to appear in an untitled series produced by Amazon and Amblin TV.
Looking at the breakdown of television's highest-paid actors, four out of ten top earners are making big bucks for shows that haven't even been released yet or don't even have titles attached to them, and this list doesn't even take into consideration the executive-producer-credit earnings tacked on to some actors' salaries like Witherspoon's—she is now essentially a producing mogul—Aniston's, Roberts's, and Bardem's. With salaries like theirs, it makes sense that some of Hollywood's most well-known big-screen players have transitioned to the small screen (or streaming service) of their choice.
