Animosité persistante à Lac-Brome

Allégations. Suspension. Enquête. Accusation. L’animosité se fait de plus en plus forte au sein du conseil de ville à Lac-Brome. La semaine dernière, le maire Gilles Decelles a clairement pointé du doigt la gestion du directeur général Jean Bourret...
New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper turns up the heat even as she chills readers to the bone with a new suspense novel that distills the essence of fear itself. In this relentless thriller, two psychics put more than their lives on the line to stop a killer darker and more evil than they could ever imagine. . . .
FBI agent Quentin Hayes always knew he had an unusual talent, even before he was recruited by Noah Bishop for the controversial Special Crimes Unit. But, as gifted as he is, for twenty years he’s been haunted by a heartbreaking unsolved murder that took place at The Lodge, a secluded Victorian-era resort in Tennessee. Now he’s returned one final time, determined to put the mystery to rest.
Diana Brisco has come there hoping to unlock the mystery of her troubled past. Instead, she is assailed by nightmares and the vision of a child who vanished from The Lodge years ago. And an FBI agent is trying to convince her that she isn’t crazy but that she has a rare gift, a gift that could catch a killer.
Quentin knows that this is his last chance to solve a case that has become a dangerous obsession. But can he persuade Diana to help him, knowing what it could cost her? For something cold and dark and pure evil is stalking the grounds of The Lodge. Something Diana may not survive. Something Quentin never felt before: the chill of fear.

Once upon a time I had the perfect family. I had the perfect husband. I had the perfect children. I had the perfect life in the perfect home. And then, as in all fairy tales, evil came into our lives and destroyed us.

Four years after the unsolved disappearance of her sixteen-year-old daughter, Lauren Lawton is the only one still chasing the ghosts of her perfect Santa Barbara life. The world has given her daughter up for dead. Her husband ended his own life in the aftermath. Even Lauren’s younger daughter is desperate to find what’s left of the childhood she hasn’t been allowed to have.
Lauren knows exactly who took her oldest child, but there is not a shred of evidence against the man. Even as he stalks her family, Lauren is powerless to stop him. The Santa Barbara police are handcuffed by the very laws they are sworn to uphold. Looking for a fresh start in a town with no memories, Lauren and her younger daughter Leah move to idyllic Oak Knoll. But when Lauren’s suspect turns up in the same city, it feels to all the world that history is about to repeat itself. Leah Lawton will soon turn sixteen, and Oak Knoll has a cunning predator on the hunt.
Sheriff’s detective Tony Mendez and his team begin to close in on the suspected killer, desperate to keep the young women of their picturesque town safe. But as the investigators sift through the murky circumstances of an increasingly disturbing case, a stunning question changes everything they thought they knew. In Down the Darkest Road, #1 New York Times bestseller Tami Hoag proves again why she is one
the world’s most beloved storytellers.  Excellent -  page turner

''About 10-12 days ago, just as I was getting the kids ready to bed, Suzanne discover to our amazement that our fish had had babies... They are so cute, so minuscule, so fragile in fact that I'm afraid to clean the tank with the vacuum I usually use to clean it. Let's just say it's slowly getting grungy.
Needless to say we care for these babies as much as we do for our 3 surviving platys.
We could see 3 small babies. However, they've grown significantly in the span of 10 days and tonight I was able to count 5, maybe 6 new fish in the aquarium. I'm still not cleaning it, but I think I will soon be able to.'' MartinPosted by Picasa

Rêves, cauchemars… Que veulent-ils nous dire ?

50 % de la population dort environ 7 heures par nuit, ce qui laisse amplement le temps aux rêves ou aux cauchemars de se succéder dans notre inconscient. PasseportSanté vous propose d'en apprendre davantage sur leur signification…

Le désir d’interpréter et de comprendre les rêves remonte à la mythologie grecque, lorsque ces derniers étaient étroitement associés aux divinités. Ce n’est qu’assez récemment que des études empiriques sur la nature des songes ont été menées. Malgré les différentes recherches et les hypothèses émises au cours des siècles, le rôle et l’importance du rêve demeurent incertains.

La période de sommeil se décline en 5 phases distinctes :

■L’endormissement est composé de deux stades : la somnolence et l’assoupissement. La somnolence se caractérise par une perte de tonus musculaire et un ralentissement du rythme cardiaque, avant de s’assoupir.
■Le sommeil léger représente 50 % du temps de sommeil complet pour une nuit. Durant cette phase, la personne est assoupie, mais elle est très sensible aux stimuli externes.
■Le sommeil lent profond est la phase d’installation au sommeil profond. C’est à ce moment que l’activité cérébrale ralentit le plus.
■Le sommeil profond est la phase la plus intense de la période de repos, durant laquelle l’ensemble du corps (les muscles et le cerveau) est endormi. Cette phase est la plus importante du sommeil car elle permet de récupérer la fatigue physique accumulée. C’est aussi à ce moment que peut survenir le somnambulisme.
■Le sommeil paradoxal est appelé ainsi car à ce stade le cerveau émet des ondes rapides, les yeux de la personne sont en mouvement et la respiration devient irrégulière. Alors que ces signes peuvent laisser croire que la personne est sur le point de s’éveiller, elle se trouve encore dans un sommeil profond. Bien que les rêves puissent survenir durant d’autres phases telles que le sommeil léger, ils se manifestent principalement durant la phase du sommeil paradoxal qui occupe environ 25 % du temps de repos.

Un cycle de sommeil dure entre 90 et 120 minutes. Ces cycles, qui peuvent survenir à raison de 3 à 5 par nuit sont entrecoupés de courtes périodes d’éveil appelées sommeil intermédiaire. La personne n’a toutefois pas conscience de ces brefs moments. De nombreux rêves peuvent immerger de l’esprit d’une personne durant une nuit de repos sans toutefois qu’elle s’en souvienne au réveil. Dès que la personne entre de nouveau dans la phase du sommeil lent, 10 minutes suffisent pour que le rêve soit effacé de la mémoire. C’est pourquoi la plupart des gens ne se souviennent que du rêve qui a précédé leur éveil. (suite)
