Academy teacher also a wrestler known as the Essex Bad Boy<br />
<br />
School teacher Paul Tyrrell isn’t your classic Essex Bad Boy.<br />
But, once the bell goes at the end of the school day, the award-winning science tutor is certainly ready for a fight.<br />
By day, the father-of-three is taken extremely seriously by his teenage audience in the classroom at Maltings Academy, in Essex, winning national recognition for his work. By night, he transforms into a secret alternative persona…Essex Bad Boy, the wrestling star.<br />
The 39-year-old has been body-slamming his opponents around the world for the last 25 years, having his first professional wrestling match at the age of 14 – the youngest in the UK at the time.<br />
He now splits his time between school and the wrestling ring, using his teacher training to coach the next generation of performers. According to the star, it works both ways and his wrestling experience has also helped him to take charge in the classroom.<br />
“You might not think it, but there are many similarities between teaching and wrestling. Wrestling is obviously about entertaining the crowd, with someone playing the good guy and someone playing the bad guy. We use psychology to tell the story and to get the crowd involved and on side. Teaching is the same, with us using psychology to get the kids’ attention, playing the bad guy when they’ve not done their homework and the good guy to earn their respect. <br />
“I don’t see myself as an educator; I see myself as an edu-tainer. I use entertainment to draw the kids in in the classroom. I tell funny stories, I constantly move around, we play games and act out role play; there’s no sitting around in my classes. There are a lot of crossovers which have helped me improve as a teacher and as a wrestler.”<br />
Paul’s wrestling career took off when he was just 16 and travelled to America to train with Exotic Adrian Street. On his way to the top, he defeated childhood hero Jake the Snake Roberts before forming a tag

By day, the father-of-three is taken extremely seriously by his teenage audience in the classroom at Maltings Academy, in Essex, winning national recognition for his work. By night, he transforms into a secret alternative persona…Essex Bad Boy, the wrestling star.<br />
The 39-year-old has been body-slamming his opponents around the world for the last 25 years, having his first professional wrestling match at the age of 14 – the youngest in the UK at the time.<br />
He now splits his time between school and the wrestling ring, using his teacher training to coach the next generation of performers. According to the star, it works both ways and his wrestling experience has also helped him to take charge in the classroom.<br />
“You might not think it, but there are many similarities between teaching and wrestling. Wrestling is obviously about entertaining the crowd, with someone playing the good guy and someone playing the bad guy. We use psychology to tell the story and to get the crowd involved and on side. Teaching is the same, with us using psychology to get the kids’ attention, playing the bad guy when they’ve not done their homework and the good guy to earn their respect. <br />
“I don’t see myself as an educator; I see myself as an edu-tainer. I use entertainment to draw the kids in in the classroom. I tell funny stories, I constantly move around, we play games and act out role play; there’s no sitting around in my classes. There are a lot of crossovers which have helped me improve as a teacher and as a wrestler.”<br />
Paul’s wrestling career took off when he was just 16 and travelled to America to train with Exotic Adrian Street. On his way to the top, he defeated childhood hero Jake the Snake Roberts before forming a tag

<br />
Photographs of Prince Harry wrestling a monster crocodile in the Northern Territory from the water have emerged - and it seems like the royal was up to the task.<br />
The fifth in line to the throne took time out of his busy month-long tour of Australia to help the NT Parks and Wildlife crocodile management team catch a 3.1metre beast.<br />
In pictures, the royal seems at ease and enjoying himself as he helps wildlife rangers hoist the saltwater crocodile out of Darwin Harbour, near the territory's capital.<br />
<br />
Senior wildlife ranger Tom Nichols said Prince Harry introduced himself and spoke to everyone on the boat.<br />
He confirmed the visit happened about three weeks ago but as per the royal's request photographs of the trip were not released until after he left the country.<br />
'We spoke mainly about our crocodile management program and Darwin in general,' Mr Nichols said.<br />
'He said he was enjoying his time in Darwin. He was with the army at the time and he had two days spare and that was why he was there.<br />
<br />
He wasn't put in any danger, he was holding the rope and he sat on top of the crocodile. But he did enjoy what he was doing it and he appreciated it.' <br />
Mr Nichols also added in an online statement Prince Harry showed a keen interest in the roles of the rangers.<br />
'He seemed to have a great time and was relaxed and obviously has a great sense of humour,' the senior wildlife ranger said.<br />
'It was the first time any of us had met a member of the royal family and we were all very excited.'<br />
<br />
<br />
Wildlife ranger Erin Britton said Prince Harry had no issues getting hands-on with the large crocodile.<br />
'He'd make a great croc catcher. He responded to directions when catching the croc, helped pull it into the boat, and did a great job,' she said.<br />
'I wasn't sure what to expect at first because you don't meet royalty every day, but I found him very appr

  • Harry the CROCODILE wrestler: Amazing pictures of daredevil Prince catching a three metre maneater... as rangers tell how royal stayed 'really calm'<br />
<br />
Photographs of Prince Harry wrestling a monster crocodile in the Northern Territory from the water have emerged - and it seems like the royal was up to the task.<br />
The fifth in line to the throne took time out of his busy month-long tour of Australia to help the NT Parks and Wildlife crocodile management team catch a 3.1metre beast.<br />
In pictures, the royal seems at ease and enjoying himself as he helps wildlife rangers hoist the saltwater crocodile out of Darwin Harbour, near the territory's capital.<br />
<br />
Senior wildlife ranger Tom Nichols said Prince Harry introduced himself and spoke to everyone on the boat.<br />
He confirmed the visit happened about three weeks ago but as per the royal's request photographs of the trip were not released until after he left the country.<br />
'We spoke mainly about our crocodile management program and Darwin in general,' Mr Nichols said.<br />
'He said he was enjoying his time in Darwin. He was with the army at the time and he had two days spare and that was why he was there.<br />
<br />
He wasn't put in any danger, he was holding the rope and he sat on top of the crocodile. But he did enjoy what he was doing it and he appreciated it.' <br />
Mr Nichols also added in an online statement Prince Harry showed a keen interest in the roles of the rangers.<br />
'He seemed to have a great time and was relaxed and obviously has a great sense of humour,' the senior wildlife ranger said.<br />
'It was the first time any of us had met a member of the royal family and we were all very excited.'<br />
<br />
<br />
Wildlife ranger Erin Britton said Prince Harry had no issues getting hands-on with the large crocodile.<br />
'He'd make a great croc catcher. He responded to directions when catching the croc, helped pull it into the boat, and did a great job,' she said.<br />

  • It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's...Phoenix Jones?!<br />
They are ordinary men in extraordinary costumes, and they have risen from the ashes of our troubled republic to ensure the safety of their fellow citizens. Jon Ronson goes on patrol with Urban Avenger, Mr. Xtreme, Pitch Black, Knight Owl, Ghost, and the baddest-ass "real-life superhero" of them all, Phoenix Jones<br />
<br />
Five nights a week, Phoenix dresses in a superhero outfit of his own invention and chases car thieves and breaks up bar fights and changes the tires of stranded strangers.<br />
<br />
Phoenix didn't know this when he first donned the suit about a year ago, but he's one of around 200 real-life superheroes currently patrolling America's streets, looking for wrongs to right. There's DC's Guardian, in Washington, who wears a full-body stars-and-stripes outfit and wanders the troubled areas behind the Capitol building. There's RazorHawk, from Minneapolis, who was a pro wrestler for fifteen years before joining the RLSH movement. There's New York City's Dark Guardian, who specializes in chasing pot dealers out of Washington Square Park by creeping up to them, shining a light in their eyes, and yelling, "This is a drug-free park!" And there are dozens and dozens more. Few, if any, are as daring as Phoenix. Most undertake basically safe community work: helping the homeless, telling kids to stay off drugs, etc. They're regular men with jobs and families and responsibilities who somehow have enough energy at the end of the day to journey into America's neediest neighborhoods to do what they can.<br />
<br />
But what does being an urban crime-fighter involve and why do the 'real-life superheroes' feel a need to put their lives at risk?<br />
"We are basically a citizen eye witness group. If we see a crime, we run to the victim, see if they want to press charges, at that point we'll go after the bad guy, catch him, and either hold them in position or dial 911 and wait until the cops arrive," Seattle 'superhero' Phoenix Jones says.<br />

  • Now THAT is the icing on the cake! The stunning sponges that look too good to eat<br />
<br />
With their elaborate sugar-spun details, these sweet treats are certainly not a piece of cake to make.<br />
And clay-sculptor Karen Portaleo's stunning cakes are guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth. <br />
Despite Karen having no formal culinary training, the lead decorator and her team from the Highland Bakery in Atlanta, Georgia, always rise to the occasion.<br />
They whisk up jaw-dropping creations including life-like cakes shaped like animals, people and handbags for her guests - although they all come at a considerable price-tag.<br />
But when your clients include Sir Elton John, Demi Moore and rapper L'il Wayne, they can afford to have their cake and eat it.<br />
Karen has been asked to create many intricate designs; from octopuses, complete with their eight tentacles twisting around its body, to a poodle with 'fluffy hair' icing, to under the sea themed gingerbread houses, to a sumo wrestler.<br />
But the proof is in the pudding, and talented Karen's team prides themselves on making sure the tasty treats are not only a feast for the eyes, but one for the lips.<br />
<br />
The former sculptor carved out her baking career when she offered to help out her friend Stacey Eames, who opened the Highland Bakery in Atlanta in 2005.<br />
'Upon my first visit I noticed she had no decorative items in her bakery cases, so I asked if maybe I could make a few cookies. That's how my career in cake decorating began,' Karen says on her website.<br />
'I have no culinary training and work only as a decorator. I did spend a good part of my childhood in bakeries, as my grandfather was a pastry chef before he retired.'<br />
On her blog, the lead cake decorator reveals secrets of how she creates the designs, always starting with visualizing the cake.<br />
On one poodle cake she wrote that she had to resort to a special technique for the design: 'Fluffy fur is not easy to recreate in sugar. That is unless you use a cotton candy machine like I did.'<br />

  • Now THAT is the icing on the cake! The stunning sponges that look too good to eat<br />
<br />
With their elaborate sugar-spun details, these sweet treats are certainly not a piece of cake to make.<br />
And clay-sculptor Karen Portaleo's stunning cakes are guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth. <br />
Despite Karen having no formal culinary training, the lead decorator and her team from the Highland Bakery in Atlanta, Georgia, always rise to the occasion.<br />
They whisk up jaw-dropping creations including life-like cakes shaped like animals, people and handbags for her guests - although they all come at a considerable price-tag.<br />
But when your clients include Sir Elton John, Demi Moore and rapper L'il Wayne, they can afford to have their cake and eat it.<br />
Karen has been asked to create many intricate designs; from octopuses, complete with their eight tentacles twisting around its body, to a poodle with 'fluffy hair' icing, to under the sea themed gingerbread houses, to a sumo wrestler.<br />
But the proof is in the pudding, and talented Karen's team prides themselves on making sure the tasty treats are not only a feast for the eyes, but one for the lips.<br />
<br />
The former sculptor carved out her baking career when she offered to help out her friend Stacey Eames, who opened the Highland Bakery in Atlanta in 2005.<br />
'Upon my first visit I noticed she had no decorative items in her bakery cases, so I asked if maybe I could make a few cookies. That's how my career in cake decorating began,' Karen says on her website.<br />
'I have no culinary training and work only as a decorator. I did spend a good part of my childhood in bakeries, as my grandfather was a pastry chef before he retired.'<br />
On her blog, the lead cake decorator reveals secrets of how she creates the designs, always starting with visualizing the cake.<br />
On one poodle cake she wrote that she had to resort to a special technique for the design: 'Fluffy fur is not easy to recreate in sugar. That is unless you use a cotton candy machine like I did.'<br />
