Just what is it about Beachborough? 'The idyllic setting,
the boilersuits, the happy children,' says one mother. 'The
outstanding head,' says a father. Jeremy Banks exudes energy and
enthusiasm; his focus is on developing a child's character rather
than just getting them to the next stage. The academics are
excellent - last year, 28 leavers won 16 awards. Particular praise
for Mr Gross and Mr Sanderson: 'They have made a major difference
to how my son views education,' says a parent. Our
insider was wowed by the art too (everyone's work is on display,
not just that of the talented few). National success in
trampolining, swimming, badminton and skiing. Boarding is weekly or
flexi, and is 'enormously popular'. And the food? 'Wonderful,' says
a pupil, especially the birdseed and custard.

Chapter 1
"I should have known you would be a woman."
Jo Chesney, publisher and proprietor of the Avon Journal, looked up with a start. She was in her office, at her desk, studying the latest edition of the newspaper, hot off the press, and was taken aback by the stranger's presence as much as by his offensive words. This was Thursday, the day they got the paper out. She hadn't time for interruptions.
Her first thought was that he was an actor. He had that look--tall, dark, and dramatic rather than handsome. He had presence. And this was, after all, Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace, and at this time of year there was always a play being performed in the theater or in the open air.
She wasn't unduly alarmed when he took a step toward her. There were plenty of people about, and Mac Nevin, the managing editor, was in his office across the hall, or in dispatch. All she had to do was call out and someone would come running.
All the same, she was aware that he had her at a disadvantage. For one thing, he was immaculately turned out and she was wearing a smock to protect her clothes. For another, he was looming over her like a great beast of prey. She evened the odds by getting to her feet.
Obviously, he was laboring under a misunderstanding. He must have entered the wrong building and mistaken her for someone else. Misunderstanding or no, she took exception to his insulting manner and tone of voice. She was a respectable lady who also happened to run a successful business. No one talked to her like that.
Her gaze as chilly as his own, she said, "These are the offices of the Avon Journal. If you've lost your way, I'd be happy to give you directions."
"I haven't lost my way. You are J. S. Chesney, I presume, the owner of this scurrilous piece of refuse?"
She hadn't noticed that he had a copy of the Journal tucked under one arm, not until he tossed it on the desk.
Scurrilous piece of refuse. If he wasn't an actor, he must be a politician. No normal person spoke like that. He was trying to be offensive. He couldn't have known how well he was succeeding. The Journal was more than a paper to Jo. It was her late husband's pride and joy. When John died, it seemed that the Journal would die with him. She wouldn't allow it. Against everyone's advice, she'd stepped into the breach and kept the paper going. In her mind, John and the Journal were inseparable.
"Yes," she said. "I'm Mrs. Chesney. I own the Journal. What did we do, misspell your name? Give you a bad review?"
"A bad--" His brows slashed together. "You think I'm an actor?"
Obviously not, but since the idea seemed to annoy him, she added fuel to the fire. "You certainly look the part." She studied him for a moment. "You could pass yourself off as the hero if you stopped glaring and minded your manners."
For a moment, she thought she'd gone too far. His lips compressed, but only momentarily. He said slowly, "I was right. You don't know me at all, do you, Mrs. Chesney?"
"Should I?"
"You write about me as though you know me . . . intimately."
She didn't like his choice of words. But whether the innuendo was deliberate or unintentional was debatable. She decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
She lifted her chin a notch. "If you have a complaint, I suggest you talk to Mr. Nevin, our managing editor. I'm the publisher. I don't have control of everything that goes in the paper."
"A typical female response! If all else fails, find some man to bail you out of your difficulties. Oh, no, Mrs. Chesney. Your name is on every edition of the Journal--J. S. Chesney. You're the one who will pay the toll, unless, of course, you are married. Then your husband, poor devil, will be held to account for your misconduct."
She wanted to lash out and scourge him with a few well-chosen words. What stopped her was the sudden realization that he was serious. This sounded like litigation, the courts, punitive damages. She had to hear him out.
"I don't stand in any man's shadow," she said quietly. "I'm a widow, as I'm sure you've already discovered."
"No, I didn't know." He seemed to be hesitating, as though he were about to apologize, but went on instead. "It doesn't make any difference. I want this stopped."
He reached out and flipped the Journal over so that she was staring down at the back page. london life, the heading blazed. This was fairly new, an unapologetic commentary on the comings and goings of London's rich and famous. Readers, it seemed, even those who lived as far afield as Stratford-upon-Avon, couldn't get enough of these celebrities--what they wore, what they ate, where they lived, what they did.
It was her friend Chlo' who had come up with the idea and Chlo' who wrote the rough copy using the pen name Lady Tellall and sent it by express from London every other week. She was ideally suited for the job. Though now a widow, Chlo' had married well and moved in the upper reaches of polite society.
Polite society, according to Chlo', was anything but polite, except on the surface. Beneath the surface raged dangerous currents, explosive passions, tempestuous liaisons. In short, Chlo' said with a laugh, everything that made life interesting. And every week, Jo published enough from Chlo''s correspondence to fill the back page with the salacious secrets of the rich and famous.
Since the inception of London Life, the Journal's circulation had soared.
Now Jo understood. The irate stranger must be one of Chlo''s glamorous celebrities, and he had obviously taken exception to what Chlo' had written about him. But which one was he?
She sank into her chair, rested her linked fingers on the desk, and made a slow perusal. She saw an athletically built man in his early thirties, immaculately turned out in a black coat and beige trousers. She couldn't see his boots, but she knew they would be Hessians, possibly with gold tassels, and polished to a mirror shine. His hair was dark, but it wasn't black. There were shades of mahogany in those crisp locks that brushed his collar. On his left cheek, close to his mouth, was a small scar. But most telling of all, and something she should have noticed and would have noticed if she hadn't felt under attack, was that he was leaning heavily on a cane that had a distinctive silver handle.
"You're Waldo Bowman!" she declared.
When he inclined his head in acknowledgment, the small knot of tension between her shoulder blades gradually receded. He might look reckless and dangerous, but according to Chlo', the only thing he was guilty of was taking advantage of the fact that he was irresistible to women. A breaker of hearts, Chlo' called him, but she said it without malice. She admired Waldo Bowman.
Chlo' had a fondness for rakes that Jo did not share.
He was studying her with as much interest as she studied him. She knew she looked a frump in her smock, with her awful red hair swept severely off her face and tied back with a ribbon. She wasn't going to apologize for how she looked. Getting a paper out was a messy business. There was no reason for her to feel awkward or embarrassed.
There were ink stains on her fingers. She resisted the impulse to wipe them surreptitiously on her smock.
Her eyes jerked up to meet his. "I didn't hear that. What did you say?"
There was a short silence while he regarded her thoughtfully. At last, he said, "You don't move in my circles, so I know you are not the author of this scandal sheet." He shook the paper. "Her name, Mrs. Chesney. Give me her name, and you and I shall be quits."
She shook her head. "My sources are confidential. You won't get her name out of me."
He splayed one hand on the desk. His eyes had chilled by several degrees. "Let there be no misunderstanding between us. I won't tolerate having my name bandied about in a second-rate broadsheet that can only appeal to the vulgarly curious. Have you no conscience? Or is your only object to sell papers?"
The reference to her conscience left her unmoved. It was the word broadsheet that fanned the flames of her temper. Broadsheets were one-page news sheets and were lurid beyond belief, and generally despised by intelligent people. He had delivered the ultimate insult.
When she rose to confront him, two spots of color burned in her cheeks. He had the foresight to take a step back before she rounded the desk.
Her voice was low and trembling with anger. "I publish the news, Mr. Bowman, and you happen to be news just like"--she snatched the newspaper from the desk and held up the front page--"just like William Hogg, who murdered his wife and buried her body under the floor of his barn. So don't talk to me about conscience. If you had one, you wouldn't appear in my paper."
His eyes narrowed unpleasantly. "You're comparing me to a murderer?"
"Of course not! The point I'm trying to make is that you've developed a following. My readers want to hear about you, just as they want to hear about the Duke of Wellington or the prince regent."
"You never write anything derogatory about them."
"I don't publish anything derogatory about anyone, not even Mr. Hogg. I publish the truth."
An insolent smile curled his lips. "The truth as you see it."
She mimicked his smile exactly. "Correct me if I'm wrong. Did you or did you not present your latest flirt with an emerald pendant when you ended the affair?" His jaw seemed to have locked, so she went on deliberately, "And did you or did you not, only last month, fight a duel with Lord Hornsby in Hyde Park?"
He unlocked his jaw. "If you print that in your paper, I'll sue you for defamation of character!"
"Hah! You'd lose! How can I defame the character of a rake?" She folded her arms under her breasts and stared doggedly into his eyes, challenging him to contradict her.
He moved his cane to his other hand and studied her face. Gradually, the heat died out of his eyes and he began to look amused. "You're not going to print the story of our duel?"
"Not to save me embarrassment, I'll wager. Then it must be to protect Hornsby. Do you mind telling me why?"
"I wouldn't lift a finger to protect Hornsby."
"They why--"
She said impatiently, "Lady Hornsby has been shamed enough by her husband's indiscretions. I've no wish to add to her humiliation."
"You don't want to shame Lady Hornsby," he said slowly, "but it's all right to shame my relations?"
"You're not married."
"I have a mother and sisters."
"It's not the same."
"How is it different?"
"The difference is . . ." She floundered a little. "The difference is . . ."
"Oh, you know what the difference is. Your indiscretions can't hurt a mother or sister the way they can hurt a wife."
His voice rose fractionally. "At the risk of sounding redundant, may I point out that I'm not married."
"No," she said, warming to her subject, "and that's all to the good. Let's be frank. You're hardly a matrimonial prize, Mr. Bowman. All the same, innocent young girls and others who should know better are thrilled when you make them the object of your attentions. Each thinks that she will be the one to reform you. They're all doomed to disappointment."
"I don't want to be reformed!"
"Of course you don't. Bad boys never do. And if those London debutantes and their foolish mothers would only read the Journal, they'd soon come to realize that your case is hopeless."
She didn't think he was angry, but something had darkened his eyes, something quick and dangerous. When he snagged her wrist, she sucked in a breath.
"That sounds like a challenge," he said.
He wasn't wearing gloves, and the heat of his skin on her bare skin was highly unsettling. In polite society, members of the opposite sex did not touch each other in this intimate manner unless they were closely related.
Intimate! That word again! She shivered for no apparent reason.
"What?" She'd lost the thread of their conversation.
He was no longer amused, but frowning faintly. "You're trembling."
"No. I think it's you."
It was a lie but the best she could come up with to save face. She wasn't going to give him something to laugh about.
It was that thought that kept her from crying out when he tugged on her wrist and brought her closer. He grinned, lethally, and with a will of its own, her pulse began to flutter.
He said softly, "If I kiss you, will you write about it in your paper?"
"No," she managed in a credibly calm tone. "I'll shoot you."
He laughed and let her go. "A word of advice, Mrs. Chesney. If you want to preserve your good name, don't take mine in vain."
She took the precaution of hiding her hands in the folds of her smock. "Are you threatening to spread lies about me?"
"You do have a low opinion of my character, don't you? No. I was thinking of the Journal's good name. If I sue and you lose, your paper will be discredited."
"I won't lose."
His lips quirked. "Is that another challenge?"
They were interrupted when the door opened to admit a young gentleman, also in the height of fashion, whom Jo knew quite well. Henry Gardiner, at thirty-two, was the most eligible bachelor in the county, largely because his father, Sir Robert, owned half the county, or so the locals claimed.
"Waldo!" exclaimed the newcomer. "Ruggles said this would only take five minutes." He smiled at Jo. "It's a pleasure to see you again, ma'am. I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but our coach is waiting, and the wedding can't go forward without my friend here."
For some odd reason, Jo had been feeling that Mr. Gardiner had caught her red-handed. On hearing his last remark, however, she brightened considerably.
"Wedding?" she said, eyeing Waldo speculatively. "Who is the lucky lady?"
A look of amusement crossed Waldo's face. "You're way off the mark, Mrs. Chesney. I'm not getting married."
"Eh?" Mr. Gardiner stared, then gave a chortle of laughter. "I beg your pardon," he said, regaining his composure. "I suppose anything is possible. No, no, ma'am. A mutual friend is to be married today in Warwick, and Mr. Bowman is to be his groomsman."
"Warwick?" she said. "That's at least eight miles away. Then I won't delay you." She smiled brilliantly. "Good-bye, Mr. Gardiner, Mr. Bowman. Have a pleasant journey."

In 1817, irate Waldo Bowman visits the printing office of the Avon Journal to confront J.S. Chesney for the comments on his being a rake by her columnist the unknown Lady Tellall. Waldo is stunned that J.S. is a widow Jo, who keeps the paper going as a tribute to her late husband...................................... Lady Tellall who is actually Chloe Webberly sends a letter to Jo warning her to be careful. Not long afterward, Chloe comes up missing. Jo seeks her best friend¿s diary hoping there may be clues to her disappearance. At the same time, her aunt involves her in a ¿criminal¿ incident with a young lad at a boarding school. Jo heads to London with Waldo following her because he believes she is in over her head and insanely feels he needs to protect her. After bailing her out of jail, Waldo shadows Jo and soon becomes deeply involved in the search for Chloe, but also needs to keep his now beloved Jo safe as someone believes she has the infamous diary.................................. SHADY LADY is an exhilarating Regency romantic suspense that takes off from the moment J.S. tells Waldo to leave until the final moment when he knows he must face danger to try to keep his beloved widow safe. The lead couple is a delightful duo and his friends provide insight into both stars. Fans also get a sense of Chloe through the words of others. Though the villain¿s motive to protect his family name from scandal at any cost seems off kilter (why cause the problem in the first place), fans will gain plenty of pleasure from this fine historical..............................

Vigour Mortis
It's the year 1873 and young Jonah Adamson is heading down a dark path. After a run in with the police, his family's lawyer hands him the story of infamous body-snatcher Terence Mortis, a man that gave literal meaning to the term "resurrection man". Before too long Jonah begins searching for the secret to Mortis' success, with terrible consequences.
'An elderly pauper once told me, when I asked him how he felt about his poverty, "I carry my life on my face, in my bones and through my thoughts, I don't need a load of possessions to show myself how I've lived." Surprisingly wise words from one so dishevelled, I believe.'
'Sounds like the drink-fuelled ravings of an old lunatic to me,' Jonah smirked as he rapped his fingers on the polished table. 'What are you doing questioning beggars anyway, Jonesy?'
A grave expression crept across the face of the already stern man sat opposite the youth. 'That man was my father. He was what some would refer to as a businessman yet he was nothing of the sort; my father was a criminal, pure and simple. He was the most despicable, heartless bastard I have ever had the misfortune of meeting, yet he was also one of the wisest I've ever known.'
The office they were sat in was one of the more dull and monotonous examples of a room Jonah had ever seen. The wood panelled walls were a matching colour to the faded mahogany bookcases, the pine table he was sat at and the thinning brown hair of Derek Jones, the family lawyer.
The pale sun that poured in from the open window pierced the November fog and settled behind Mr Jones, making his shorthair appear more as a halo or divine aura than a permanent part of his scalp. His jet black suit was immaculate, not even the cravat he wore was creased more than the barrister deemed necessary and the heavily bleached shirt seemed as consistently stiff as the collar that scraped his jaw. Although the man was well into his fifties, he appeared younger as he was of a dour and joyless disposition and it was rare for him to exert himself in any form of facial expression. His main signs of age, however, were in the dark rings around his eyes one would associate with insomnia and his sagging cheeks and jowls.
'You may think of yourself as something of a rebel or hellion with the petty crime you have committed, Master Adamson, yet you are almost cherubic in nature compared to the man my father was,' Mr Jones continued in his bored sounding voice.
Jonah ceased drumming his fingers on the table and placed his open palm gently on the surface. 'Look, Jonesy, I didn't do it out of any misguided wish to appear rebellious, alright.'
'I may be in your father's employment,' Mr Jones grimaced faintly, 'but that doesn't give you permission to use such familiarities with me, young sir. Now please, do enlighten me as to your reasons.'
Had Jonah had a good excuse he would never have been in this office to begin with. The truth was embarrassing beyond comprehension for him, yet it was always met with the same reaction; disbelief and annoyance. 'I'd been at my dad's whiskey. I didn't have much of it though, I'll admit that. After I had a glass or two I went out to meet a few of my friends in town. Only problem is… well, I guess I can't hold my drink and I needed to take a p-'
'You needed to urinate,' Mr Jones interjected. 'The real problem is that you were travelling through a graveyard at the time and decided to perform that… bodily function upon a tombstone. Now, desecration of a grave in that manner is only considered a trivial misdemeanour, yet the family of the deceased you unwillingly desecrated could have taken this to court. Luckily they were dissuaded through an apology and a money settlement.'
The barrister straightened his suit jacket and cleared his throat as he rose to his feet. 'Before you consider turning the churchyard into your personal lavatory again in future, I suggest you read this.' He turned to the bookcase on his left and pulled out a weathered, leather-bound tome. It landed with an almighty thud on the table, causing Jonah to leap in his seat slightly. 'This should provide an insight as to why your father wasn't so keen for you to be around graves, and why you should think twice before committing any crime; trivial or no.'
Quiet laughter shook Jonah's shoulders as he looked up at Mr Jones. 'What is this? Some child's fairy tale? A horror story, trying to scare me into a certain moral path?'
'I'd prefer to think of it as a few words of warning; an attempt to dissuade you from a terrible path.' A thin, haunted smile spread across Jones' gaunt features, making him appear as a well-dressed ghoul.
Jonah snatched the book from the table and made for the door in silence, eager to leave the lawyer's presence.

Roy Hodgson has named the uncapped Andros Townsend and Ross Barkley in his squad for England's World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine.
The Tottenham winger Townsend and the Everton midfielder Barkley have been in fine form during the opening matches of the Premier League and Hodgson has responded by handing them their first international call-ups.
England resume their World Cup qualification campaign a week on Friday against Moldova at Wembley before they play Ukraine in Kiev four days later.
Barkley, 19, scored on the opening day of the season for Everton, while the 22-year-old Townsend has performed brilliantly for Spurs since he returned from a loan spell at QPR.
Raheem Sterling has been promoted from the Under-21 squad even though he has only played 18 minutes for Liverpool so far this season.
Asked about the inclusion of Barkley, Hodgson said: "He impressed me when I worked with him at St George's and at Sheffield Wednesday, and quite a few other people impressed at that time – Raheem Sterling and of course Andros Townsend, who was on the radar before the Under-21s.
"In choosing these players we are giving ourselves a chance to look at players who are capable of having a bright future. I don't think there is a question that this is a philosophy of we will only play this or that type of player. Players like Barkley, Townsend and Sterling can make a difference and in a team they can be players that make a big impact. They are there on merit. It's nice that they're younger.
"I would expect them in the coming years to share roles. I don't expect them not to play a part in the Under-21s. Players need to understand because the door is open at senior level, it doesn't mean you close the door at Under-21 level."
The striker Rickie Lambert retains his place in the squad after scoring on debut against Scotland earlier this month, while the uncapped Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster has been called up to replace the injured West Bromwich Albion keeper Ben Foster
Daniel Sturridge returns to the squad after sitting out the game against Scotland, while his fellow striker Jermain Defoe retains his place in a 27-man squad despite not starting a game for Spurs this season.
The new Under-21 manager Gareth Southgate has named Wilfried Zaha and Luke Shaw among his 25-man squad for the Euro 2015 qualifiers against Moldova on 5 September and Finland four days later.
England squad:
Forster (Celtic), Hart (Man City), Ruddy (Norwich City); Baines (Everton), Cahill (Chelsea), Cole (Chelsea), Jagielka (Everton), Johnson (Liverpool), Jones, Smalling (Man United), Walker (Tottenham Hotspur); Barkley (Everton), Carrick (Man United), Cleverley (Man United), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Manr City), Sterling (Liverpool), Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Walcott (Arsenal), Wilshere (Arsenal); Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Lambert (Southampton), Rooney (Man United), Sturridge (Liverpool), Welbeck, Young (Manr United).
Under-21 squad:
Bond (Watford), Butland (Stoke City), Long (Sheffield United); Dier (Sporting Lisbon), Fryers (Tottenham Hotspur), Kane (Chelsea), Keane (Man United), Robinson (Liverpool), Shaw (Southampton), Stones (Everton), Thorpe (Man United), Wisdom (Liverpool); Carroll (Tottenham Hotspur), Chalobah (Chelsea), Hughes (Derby County), Powell (Man United), Shelvey (Swansea City), Ward-Prowse (Southampton); Ameobi (Newcastle United), Lingaard (Man United), Redmond (Norwich City), Zaha (Man United); Berahino (West Brom), Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Wickham (Sunderland).

A new study shows that women who take antidepressants in the later stages of pregnancy are more likely to have a child with autism.
The study specifies one particular group of antidepressants in particular — the SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as Prozac, Zoloft or Paxil.
"Use of antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, during the second and/or third trimester increases the risk of autism spectrum disease in children, even after considering maternal depression," Anick Berard of the University of Montreal and colleagues wrote in their report.
Doctors say they are worried the findings will scare many women into stopping antidepressants, but experts were quick to note that the absolute risk is very small and very few children were diagnosed with autism.
Berard's team studied more than 145,000 children born in Quebec between 1998 and 2009. They found 4,700 babies, or 3 percent of the total group, whose mothers took some type of antidepressant while pregnant.
Only 31 babies, or 1 percent of the group whose mothers took antidepressants in later pregnancy, were later diagnosed with autism.
However, those babies were more likely to have been born to mothers who took antidepressants in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, they reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association's JAMA Pediatrics. More careful analysis showed it was only the SSRIs.
"Other classes of antidepressants were not statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder," they wrote.
Dr. Eva Pressman, who chairs the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Rochester in New York, says the study raises more questions than it answers.
"If there is an effect that SSRIs have on autism, I think it is not a very large effect," she told NBC News.
Pressman, who has prescribed SSRIs to pregnant women herself, said it's a judgment call. In general, pregnant women should take as few medications as possible, she said.
"If the patient can be safely managed without medication, that's always in their interest," she said. "In some patients, the depression is clearly more dangerous than the medication."
And it's dangerous for anyone to suddenly stop taking antidepressants. "If articles like this make people come off medication that they need to function, that's terrible for society," said Pressman, who was not involved in the study.
Antidepressants are very widely used in the U.S. and 13 percent of U.S. women took them while pregnant in 2003, the researchers said. That's up from 5.7 percent in 1999. In Canada, 4.5 percent of pregnant women took them between 2001 and 2006.
What the study cannot show is why there was a higher risk in some women. Women who continue to take antidepressants during pregnancy may be more severely depressed than women who do not take them, and that itself may change their child's risk. Depression and autism both have a very strong genetic roots.
"For example women who took antidepressants were more likely to have a history of psychiatric and other illness, were older, and we're more likely to have had another child with autism," said Dr. Gail Saltz, a psychiatrist at The New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of Medicine.
"Each of these factors could increase the risk of autism. So the study says there was a difference but can't say if the drug caused the difference or whether these differences are what increased the risk."
The researchers note other studies have shown there could be a biological basis for SSRIs affecting a child's brain, however. "Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors cross the placenta and are found in amniotic fluid," they said.
Serotonin is a message-carrying chemical called a neurotransmitter and it's linked with mood, but it performs other important functions, too. "We know that all neurotransmitters play a role in not only sending signals but how the brain reacts to those signals and how the brain develops," Pressman said.
"The circulating neurotransmitters may be different in someone with depression, or someone with severe depression."
So, in other words, it's complicated. Autism is almost certainly caused by a combination of genetics and so-called external influences such as what happens in the womb and perhaps in infancy too, experts say. Studies show when women get the flu while pregnant, for instance, it may raise the risk of autism.
And other studies done looking specifically at antidepressants in pregnancy have had mixed results. One published in June this year found that it seemed to be the mother's degree of depression, and not the antidepressants, that was most strongly associated with a child's autism.
Autism diagnoses are on the rise in the U.S. The latest study finds one in 45 U.S. kids have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

Stress has been called the spice of life, the common cold of the psyche, and even a socially acceptable form of mental illness. No doubt, stress can be beneficial—for example, a deadline can help us focus and become more alert and efficient. Persistent or excessive stress, however, can undermine performance and make us vulnerable to health problems, from cancer and heart disease to substance abuse and obesity.
Stress is a physical and mental response to the difference between our expectations and our personal experience, real or imaginary. While reacting to stress, the body goes through alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. Released hormone epinephrine, or adrenaline, prepares the body for physical action ("fight or flight") by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. Then, the body releases glucocorticoid cortisol, or hydrocortisone, producing anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressing effects.
Although occasional stress can be of benefit, too much stress is taxing on the body. Excessive levels of glucocorticoids can hinder growth, delay wound healing, and increase risk of infection. Chronic stressors—or their constant anticipation—can make us believe that we must always be on guard, leading to anxiety. Feelings of hopelessness or avoiding solving our problems can spark depression.
Past or present psychological distress can also lead to pain, particularly low-back pain, which often comes with leg pain, headaches, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression. Stress may even be a more powerful pain generator than strenuous physical activity or repetitive motion. Research shows, for example, that pain in adolescents is associated with depression and stress, but not with computer use or physical activity.
Stress is highly individual and depends on our circumstances. For example, we react to stress better if we can vent our frustrations, feel in control, hope that things will change for the better, and get social support.
Gender also determines how we handle stress. Women are easily stressed by household problems, conflicts with people, or illness in people they know. Men get more significantly affected by job loss, legal problems, and work-related issues. Men are also more likely to get depressed over divorce or separation and work problems. Depression in women, however, is more likely to spring from interpersonal conflicts or low social support, particularly from family.
The workplace has become a major stressor, contributing to the risk of hypertension and heart disease. Recent studies have shown, however, that what stresses us out is not so much the job demands, but our attitude toward them. For example, people who react with anger to their high job strain or who are worried about their chronic work overload have much higher morning corsisol levels. Lack of a sense of control over a job is also associated with higher blood pressure, especially in women and in people with higher socioeconomic status.
No matter what stresses you out, consider taking active steps to change your attitude toward stress and to reduce stress in your life

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and is most commonly diagnosed in children who are in their early years at school.
The most obvious signs of ADHD are:
Between 3 and 5% of children in the United States (around 2 million kids) are thought to have ADHD, and more boys suffer than girls. That equates to at least one child in every class of 25 to 30 children, although many more are labeled as having ADHD who may simply be badly behaved. For this reason, proper diagnosis is recommended so that children are not needlessly treated and perhaps medicated for a condition they do not have.
Research is ongoing into the causes of ADHD, and current thinking suggests it is down to an overactive nervous system, combined with the brain's failure to properly filter out unnecessary sights, sounds, thoughts and emotions. Chiropractors are not in the business of directly treating ADHD, but they are able to help rectify certain elements that may be stressing the nervous system, such as:
Conventional medicine tends to treat ADHD with a chemical called methylphenidate, commonly known as Ritalin. Although this is a stimulant that acts to speed up the nervous system, its net effect is to calm the sufferer, possibly because it activates the filtering out process in the brain. The problem is that Ritalin does nothing to cure ADHD; it only hides the symptoms. And when Ritalin is taken for an extended period, it can actually damage the brain's proper functioning.
It is therefore important to look at less drastic options if your child has ADHD, and one of these is chiropractic treatment to de-stress the nervous system.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is caused by pressure on the median nerve, located just above the wrist. It is one of the most common occupational health problems, affecting millions of people every year, largely thanks to our ever-increasing use of computers. Anyone can develop CTS, however, even if they are computer-phobic, as it is essentially a repetitive stress injury. This means anyone involved in repeated actions for extended periods may suffer from it, or it may be brought on by a trauma to that area.
Common symptoms of CTS include wrist pain, weak grip, numbness, tingling, and burning. The pain may also cause problems sleeping. Treatments vary, and can include drugs and invasive surgery, but one that is both conservative and very effective is chiropractic. Adjustments made to the affected area can help resolve the issue, as can work on certain areas of the back or neck, where the nerves are being impinged upon and referring pain to the wrist. Chiropractic treatments may also include physical therapy, and stretching and strengthening exercises. Many people with CTS have found that they experience great relief from their symptoms after visiting a doctor of chiropractic.

A woman's center of gravity shifts forward to the front of her pelvis during pregnancy. This extra upfront weight causes stress on the joints of the pelvis and low back. This gets worse as the baby grows heavier, causing an increased curvature of the lower back, badly stressing the fragile facet joints on the outer edge of the spine. Women who have pre-existing spinal problems will find these changes even harder and more painful to cope with as the spine and pelvis become seriously overtaxed.
Studies show that around 50% of expectant mothers will develop low-back pain at some point during their pregnancies. This is more of a problem when the baby gains the most weight during the third trimester. Regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy to condition the spine and pelvis helps to ease and may even prevent the pain and discomfort, creating the conditions for an easier and safer delivery. Most women who undergo chiropractic care during pregnancy find that they more easily forgo pain medication and experience reduced time in labor. Beside the adjustments, your chiropractor can also help with advice on nutrition, ergonomics and exercise.
"Sometimes the things we want most in life are closer than we think, but we're so busy searching elsewhere that we don't even see them."
I was asked the other day whether I had ever read the book, "Acres of Diamonds", by Russell Cromwell. I said I had read it years ago, and I proceeded to tell the story as best I could. A couple of nights ago, I decided to pull out my copy and read the story again. Its message is so powerful that I thought I would dedicate some time to it here. The book is a classic, and if you ever get a chance, I recommend picking up a copy for yourself.
The book is a true story about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became very excited about looking for diamonds. It seems that diamonds were in abundance all over the African continent. This farmer got so excited about finding his fortune in diamonds that he sold his farm and headed out to search for the precious stones. For years he wandered all over the continent searching for diamonds, but he never found a single one. Eventually this farmer went completely broke and threw himself into a river and drowned.
Meanwhile, the new owner of the farm was outside one day and picked up an unusual looking rock about the size of a large egg. He liked the way the rock looked so he brought it inside and put it on his mantle. A few days later a friend stopped by the farm. When the friend saw the rock on the mantle, he almost had a heart attack. He told the new owner of the farm that the funny looking rock on the mantle was about the biggest diamond that had ever been found. The new owner of the farm said, "Heck, the whole farm is covered with them!" The new owner was right. The farm turned out to be the Kimberly Diamond Mine…the richest mine the world has ever known. The original farmer was literally sitting on "Acres of Diamonds" when he sold the farm.
Sometimes we are all guilty of being too busy looking all over the place for our fortune in diamonds, and we miss the diamonds right under our feet. God has a way of putting us where we're supposed to be in life whether we realize it or not. We spend so much time searching everywhere else for the things we desire that we miss out on the goodness He has placed all around us. It's important to realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
I challenge you to take some time to notice the diamonds you have in your life right now. Don't be like the farmer and miss out on something you already own. Nothing is worse than having to live with regrets later on in life. Be happy where you're at, and search in your own back yard for the things that you desire. You may be surprised to find your own "Acres of Diamonds".

Someone nicknamed FATMAN32 opened a window for us.
-run some security tests. We must not be located. We don't know who he is.
-he appears clean, maybe we should talk
-look… this guy's awesome. Setting up a whole network right now to communicate
-naah, he cant do that
-but he is doing that
-big mind
-he's giving you the code to login
-whats all this? Hypersyntelicus asked Samantha
-someone from the Triangulum nebula is trying to talk to us
-the triangulum nebula has been uninhabited since the beginning of spacetime
-like your heads. Harry grinned
-it is in this nebula, that the Machine lies invisible. For centuries has been Opsilon trying to spot it. Many times there are interpolations from other signals due to the planets working like antennas and reflecting other broadcasts. Same thing probably's happening now.
-no, Sam. Look..

<FATMAN32> where is Hypersyntelicus?
<48952ROD6> we are the Opsilon team
<FATMAN32> yes I know that, but where is He?
<48952ROD6> we're looking for the system in the Triangulum nebula
<FATMAN32> I have to talk to him, its urgent
<48952ROD6> if you're Triangulumese, we salute you
<FATMAN32> hey pal, is this a joke?
<48952ROD6> are you from the system?
<FATMAN32> yes I work for the system
<48952ROD6> then we ask from the system to save the universe
<FATMAN32> if you leave the comfort of your chair and let Hypersyntelicus sit, it just might
<48952ROD6> who is Hypersyntelicus?
<FATMAN32> what, i have wrong readings again? Isnt a guy with a stupid horse there?
<48952ROD6> yes, we have a horse here
<FATMAN32> I don't want the horse, I want his friend
<48952ROD6> Vejuch-Riah?
<FATMAN32> no, the other one with the check shirt
<48952ROD6> please wait a second
Ditry looked at Hypersyntelicus.
-what? What happened?
-its for you…
Dirty said like hypnotized and started searching for hidden cameras.
The young man hesitated but approached the screen.
He sat on Dirty's chair, read the conversation and laughed helplessly.
-Harry, this guy says you're an idiot
-what? Get out of the way, I wanna see too
He pushed Bob
Harry sat next to Hypersyntelicus and devoted himself on the screen.
Clean dragged the keyboard in front of Hypersyntelicus.
-talk to him. He suggested
Hypersyntelicus looked at the keyboard and started typping veeeery slow.
-this is going to take forever. Samantha whispered to her brother's ear, but he told her to be quiet.
<48952ROD6> I am Hypersyntelicus
<FATMAN32> it was about time
<48952ROD6> to who am I speaking?
<FATMAN32> Hypersyntelicus, I'm talking you directly from inside the system, I'm a technician and my orders are to deliver a message and do not take no for an answer.
<48952ROD6> what's your name? who are your superiors?
<FATMAN32> its Dentur, but that is not important. I'm sending you the coordinates for the nebula. Make sure to come as fast as you can.
<48952ROD6> but I cant leave, I'm wating for someone
<FATMAN32> the angel is busy, he cant bring you here
<48952ROD6> you know Miguel?
<FATMAN32> not personally. Lots of people come and go in this place. But your story's heard everywhere.
<48952ROD6> everywhere? What story?
<FATMAN32> Hypersyntelicus, you MUST trust me. Get a ship. Doomsday's coming.
<48952ROD6> Miguel said the same thing!
<FATMAN32> once you get here, you'll understand everything
<48952ROD6> what about Miguel? He'll be looking for me
<FATMAN32> he'll find you in the system. I have to shutdown now.
<48952ROD6> what should I do with Harry?
<FATMAN32> you can take him but that's not necessary

Transfer complete.
The first contact had just occurred.
-I bet this idiot is fat in RL too, lol. The horse nagged.
Jo was all red and shaking.
So imagine, you spend all your life to reveal the universal truth. You're deprived of joy and chances to find the meaning of your own existence. You lead an group with ancient roots, with only one purpose, to unveil the superficial reality and its creator.
Imagine your planet getting blown to pieces, risking a space travel to the other side of the galaxy, where you visit a member of your society who insists keeping his identity secret to prevent his arrestment as a heretic from the authorities.
You ignore his unknown guests and while you find your self floating in seas of happiness after making a contact with some higher intelligence, he pays no attention to you and wants to talk to a complete stranger who happens to be nearby.
If you can imagine all that, you can imagine how he felt.
Only he knows how hard he tried to keep his calm and not punch Hypersyntelicus when he asked his help.
-I have to go there. Hypersyntelicus pleaded showing him the coordinates. Harry is really slow and you have a spaceship.
-you're the slow one, you bastard
Harry and everyone else turned to Jo, who was rubbing his chin.
-hypersyntelicus or whatever your name is, I've been looking for the system all my life. Do you realize you were just talking to someone from inside the system?
-and that he gave you the map to find him and see the system?
-I don't know who you are hypersyntelicus. But for all these important entities to be looking for you… I will not spoil their plans.
-does that mean you'll take me there?
-yes, but I want something from you too
Hypersyntelicus hesitated.
-I don't have anything to give… no wait, I have Harry, you can take Harry.
-No, no he messed up. You see, HE is my slave, I aint his. I saved his life, he owes me his life and as his master, I allow you to do whatever you want with him.
-I don't want Harry, I want you to let us see the machine and enter it, once we get to the nebula
-deal. What about Harry?
-I don't want Harry
-meet me in an hour at the airport, I'll get the ship. Bob, Sam, come with me. The brothers will stay here to watch over you.
-what was that? "You can take harry?" after all I did for you, you underdeveloped lifeform? Is this how you thank me?
-come on Harry, I didn't mean it
-yes you can
-rsfsf ffrl?
-with the shovel
-hey I understood that
Vejuch-Riah hit his thin little feet on floor angry and Harry did the same.
-okay. I'm sorry.
-aha, aha, and what else?
-you forgot something
-oh come on Harry
-I wanna hear it!
-…you saved me and I owe you my life
-aaaah, yeah. But still didn't say the magic word.
Hypersyntelicus constricted his shoulders and fists.
-I'm waitiiing… I die of old age…
-…thank you.
-see? That wasn't so hard
Harry turned to Clean and Dirty. They were twins but Dirty wasn't wearing the white uniform with the silver belt. They were picking up their stuff, making sure to leave no trace behind.
-hey fatass, which planet are you from?
Dirty responded in a lazy tone without turning his head.
-we were from Zeazagama before Andromeda fire her attack
-Zeazagama you said! Do you know anything about Erdil? Was it hit?
-I think it was, all neighbour planets got damaged but I don't know any details. Zeazagama has been erased from the map though.
When it was time to go, Harry embraced his old friend Vejuch-Riah and said goodbye. Hypersyntelicus was the last one to leave the house and thanked him for his hospitality. Riah said something in his language and they said goodbye.
The young man saw a very strange creature on their way to the airport.
It was a big mushroom that walked with 3 tiny legs. It had two long thin tails hanging on the back of its head, pierced with many silver earings. On its head, there was a hedgehog sitting and playing with a fat snake in its mouth while on its thorns, there were pierced thousands of black worms moving unnaturally slow.
Again, hypersyntelicus ran to Harry's side.


text: "There's man all over for you, blaming on his shoes the fault of his feet. - Samuel Beckett" I was sent to Catholic school for the first eight years of my education. They stopped beating me in the sixth grade. When I was in the sixth grade I fell in love for the first time. She was in the fifth grade. I gave her too many valentines on Valentines Day and this became a source of great embarrassment for her. However, even as fat as I was, and with just the first hints of acne on my face, this embarrassment lead to my being allowed to kiss her. More than once. It became known that I had kissed her, as one of the times we kissed was at a party with other school mates. One day, the priest who was the head of the parish (and school) came excitedly into the classroom I was in. He had her with him. "The Pope has made many wonderful changes to the mass," he enthused to our class "and one of them is called the 'Kiss of Peace'. Starting this Sunday at mass when I say 'Now, as a sign of Christ's love, let us extended to each other the Kiss of Peace' you will turn to everyone around you and shake their hand, as a sign of Christ's love, and say 'I bid you peace'. But that was not how the early Christians did it." He then demonstrated how the early Christians did it. With her. There were 24 classrooms in our school. He took her to each one. She never spoke to me again. They stopped beating me in the 6th grade.

Re: In my opinion
We all have to remember that this games is going to be a series. They need to put characters that can come back in the future installments. What happens if 3rd party characters that are in this game aren't popular anymore. The 3rd party roster is going to keep changing every generation. So they need to build a solid roster of 1st parties first, though they too will be effect as time goes by.
Re: In my opinion
when i think assassins creed I think of both consoles so to me any of the assassins aren't all stars, also about big daddy I really don't see why he is in except for advertising infinite. I still associate him with the x-box. anyway on a lighter note if they have an assassin in the game I would be ok with it just questioning it like I do with big daddy

I agree, I can see people wanting an AC rep as it has become a really popular series this gen, there are much more deserving characters or equally as deserving characters not on the roster who would not only fit better in a Playstation All-Stars game but also bring more variety to the game. I'm pretty sure people know who they are but I'll list them anyway
Snake (Naked or Solid)
Chimeran Hybrid
Robed Figure (journey)
The King of All Cosmos
Lara Croft
Lightning (I hate to say it)
Yes! Someone else who wants the King!
Re: In my opinion
smh I hate when people say other characters deserve a roster spot over an AC rep when clearly an AC rep could have a spot ALONGSIDE whatever other characters are seen as more deserving.

I have that logic, but I want this to be about playstation and they are an extreme of multiplatform. I would rather have rayman from ubisoft since he had a large impact on the ps1

"So, when do we leave?" I asked him. Elijah gets up, then sits back down. You can tell he's thinking hard because of the wrinkle forming on his forehead.
"Whenever you feel like leaving..." He says to me.
"Now..." He responds. I grab my purse, my knitting things, and some of Elijah's things. We carry eveything to his car, and drive out of the now shoveled out parking lot. I wave goodbye to the Gateway motel. Wave goodbye to my old life, and hello to my new one. My new life with Elijah.
Time to get out of my bone cage, and only Elijah holds the key.
I will continue this story if you want. If you want me to just ask, and i'd be happy to. It's just something I randomly thought up a moment ago...

The Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets traveled to Harriman last week and both squad came away with relatively easy wins.
Two long time martial artists and one student recently received advanced promotions at the Roane School of Isshin-ryu Karate in Harriman. Don Bordinger received the rank of Hachi-Dan (8th Degree Black Belt), Bill Duncan was promoted to Roku-Dan (6th Degree Black Belt and Masters Level), and Kacy Aslinger was advanced to Sho-Dan (1st Degree Black Belt).
Saturday was a busy day for the Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets as they traveled to Anderson County High School to play a pair of TSSAA Hall of Fame games.
Cherokee's journey up Highway 70 to take on North Middle School didn't go so well Monday night as the Stars picked up a sweep on their home floor.
Monday night was a good night for the Harriman Middle School Blue Devils and Lady Devils as both teams picked up victories over Midway.
Neighborhood rivals Cherokee and Midway got together at Cherokee Middle School Tuesday and it would be the host Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets coming away victorious.
The Midway Green Wave and Lady Waves would both end up with 1-1 records after the second of two Hall of Fame games to begin basketball season. Both teams won against Mt. Pisgah Tuesday night, but both would lose to Meigs County on Friday.
In what was a preview for next basketball season, the Lady Waves dropped a 64-37 decision to the Lady Tigers. The Green Waves fell 52-46 to the Tigers after leading late in the game.
Harriman's Xavier Howard put on a show Friday night as he pulled in an eye-popping and jaw-dropping 45 points for the Harriman Blue Devils en route to a 78-67 win over the Carter Hornets.
Carter took the early 16-14 lead at the end of the opening period, but Harriman used an 8-0 surge at one point in period number two to help them wrest the lead from the Hornets to take a 29-24 halftime lead.
The tag team of "The X-Factor" Howard (16 points) and Chris Works (13 points) led the way for Harriman in the first half.
The Tennessee Valley Athletic Association season came to a rousing end on Nov. 10 with a set of championship games in Oliver Springs and Harriman.
Almost all the higher seeds won their games except for the cricket Gold Bowl where the second seeded Spring City Red Dogs pulled a mild upset against top seeded Harriman.
The three unbeaten teams remained unbeaten during championship Saturday.
The Harriman mighty mites fended off Oliver Springs for the third time this year to go 11-0 for the season.
The Oliver Springs hoppers stayed unbeaten with a 24-8 win over Kingston.
There's never been any question that Midway's Alex Richardson would play college softball.
The only question was where Richardson would play beginning next season and that question was answered Friday when the Lady Wave senior signed scholarship papers with Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville.
"I'm super happy," Richardson said after making it official on Friday. "I'm happy with my choice of college, and I'm thankful for my family for supporting me through everything."
Richardson chose Trevecca for several reasons that weren't necessarily related to softball.

BACKGROUND: Most of systemic therapies have not been systematically investigated in moderate to severe childhood plaque psoriasis. Treatment preferences for moderate to
severe psoriasis in childhood are unknown.
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to investigate the systemic treatment patterns of moderate to severe psoriasis in children and adolescents aged ≤ 18 years in Italy. Additional secondary outcomes were duration of treatment and reasons for discontinuation.
METHODS: To define differences in treatment patterns, we performed a chart review of all consecutive patients treated with systemic drugs during an index period of five years. Consecutive sampling of all patients with psoriasis, aged ≤ 18 years, who had been treated with at least one systemic drug over a 5year period, was made.
RESULTS: The records of 58 consecutive patients, 27 males, 31 females. with moderate to severe psoriasis treated with at least one systemic therapy were reviewed. The median age (standard deviation) at the start of the first systemic treatment was 11.7 years (± 3.7). The most preferred first line systemic treatment was cyclosporine, which was administered as first systemic treatment in 53.4% of patients, followed by acitretin in 22.4% of patients, etanercept and PUVA respectively in 8.6%, methotrexate in 6.8%. 48.2% of patients received a second systemic treatment due to inefficacy or side effects of the first line therapy during the index period. Because of the small sample, and voluntary contribution, selection bias may have occurred.
CONCLUSION: A considerable variation in the management of the first line systemic therapy in children with moderate to severe psoriasis was observed. Cyclosporine was most commonly preferred as a firstline treatment. The availability of new therapeutic agents could change the scenario of treatment patterns in childhood psoriasis.

BeschreibungThe idea for this book emerged from a conversation between Vivian Forbes and Charles Eaton following two seminars held in the Department of Geography at the University of Western Australia given by Trevor So?eld and Christopher Grif?n more than ?ve years ago. One seminar involved papers from Charles Eaton and Christopher Grif?n on the recent Speight coup in Fiji; the other, given by Trevor So?eld, was on the Solomon Islands. The seminars were attended by, among others, Dennis Rumley, who on getting involved in the conversation, suggested the idea of a book and then followed through on its scope, structure, planning, and possible contributors. Looking back now, we owe a special debt of gratitude to Charles Eaton both for his enthusiasm and his ideas then, and for his continued support throughout the whole project. Since that time ?ve years ago, many people have boarded and have left the Arc. Indeed, the very project itself exhibited a degree of instability. At times, it even looked as though it might not stay a?oat. Thankfully, several early boarders remained ?rmly anchored. Other authors were co-opted later, some at relatively short notice, one or two of them under mild duress. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of these contributors for remaining patient, enthusiastic, and keeping faith with the project. Naturally, a project like this, dealing with such a large and dynamic region, will always be out-of-date.

Zombie ApocalypseMature
Scientists of planet Earth were trying to invent a cure for cancer, but it went horribly wrong. It ended up creating a virus which spreaded rapidly and infected the global population. Vaccinations were used but to no effect, only the odd person was lucky enough for it to work.

Scientists have declared that the research to cure cancer may have come to a close, they think they have found it. In their research labs after many years of testing they may have finally done it. They are testing it on their first patient now, hopefully it will go well. This will be the biggest medical breakthrough in history.

There seems to not be any changes so far, but the patient does seem to show signs of improvement. After closer inspecion of the cure they noticed little organisms that multiply rapidly. They seemed to have been going into the air supplies and escaping into the atmosphere. Lets just hope that this cure thing works, because if its getting out then i dont want whatever it is.

The patient has died! They dont know whats going on or what happened but she just seemed to have just collapsed and her heartbeat just stopped straightaway. With this virus going out into the air they had to invent a cure for this aswell. That is what they are working on now at full speed, this cannot get any worse otherwise bad things will happen.

Everyones going for their vaccinations today, hopefully these will be able to cure this virus before anymore people die from it. I cant say i wasnt scared, because i was for all i know i could be infected with this virus and for all we know this vaccine may not even work.

The female patient, she came back to life, all rabid and gruesome. She kill the scientists and just left them bleeding to death. It was awful, it happened right in front of my eyes. The news is full of people collapsing all over the world. This cannot be a good sign, this may turn into an epidemic. We must prepare for this.

I searched the labs records about this virus. They seemed to have studied it more. It is an airbourne virus, and it doesnt need any nutrition or anything. It can just live forever in the air until it finds a host. Not only that but it splits in two within 10 minutes which means it just gets worse and worse every moment i live. When it finds a host i makes them feel good at first, as if they got better, as it targets sick people mainly. Then after that they start to have breathing problems and then they collapse and die, and as proven, they may come back alive as the walking dead. There is no known cure for it yet, and i dont think there will be. Im starting to feel abit wierd, i cant breathe... whoever finds this please, dont let this continue!
