I think kids here need a game room. When my kids
were young Saterday nights were nintendo and playstation party with pizza at our church.
Monopoly on nintento was great because 8 kids
could play that game. The game of life was fun on playstion because anyone could win in the end.
N0 drug users, smokers, drinkers came out of that group.

Review of swimplex.

Pool 4 of 5 stars.
Fairly clean, warmest pool i ever been in.

Parking lot 2 of 5 stars
Large lot, trash should be picked up every day,
glass should be swept up. not a smart idea to walk from your car barefoot.

Music 3 of 5 stars
Same radio station, no 50,s music
songs have words that small kids should NEVER hear.

Price 4 of 5 stars
Tullahoma pool is 2.00
unless your bringing 4 kids it is worth the trip.
The 4.00 price is not bad but non swiming adults
should not be charged.

Blessed are the poor in Spirit, blessed are the merciful, blessed are the peace-makers, those who long for righteousness, those whose hearts are pure.

These words inaugurate Jesus’ public ministry in Matthew’s Gospel.

As it happens, they are printed on the back of the Baptismal certificates which we will be giving to the parents of Matteo and Max, who will be baptized in just a few moments.

These words sound like a blueprint for sanctity, on this Sunday when Christians around the world give thanks for the heroes of Christian faith and reflect on their own call to be holy, to become saints.

The Beatitudes set the bar for Christian sanctity. They suggest what is expected of us in order to enjoy God’s favor. By contrast, our first reading from the Book of Revelation suggests that sainthood is not the result of our own striving, but rather something conferred on us by virtue of Christ’s work, not ours.

The Chubby Succubus

This is the story about a little sucubuss, who was extremely sad, because she was chubby and couldn’t seduce anyone. View table of contents...





This is the story about a little sucubuss, who was extremely sad, because she was chubby and couldn't seduce anyone. But it hadn't been always that way. Once, in a far away time, she had been the most dangerously seductive demon on earth. Many men had fallen under her lust. She was gorgeous, like painted by Rubens, and absolutely no one, could resist her charm. Nevertheless, it just lasted a few centuries. When the world approached to the next millennium, things started looking pretty bad for her. People changed their concept of beauty, and bones became more valuable than meat. She got so depressed, started believing she would never be able to seduce anyone again. She tried to lose some pounds, tried doing spinning and pilates; she started a diet, with no more cakes. But nothing worked. It seemed like having flesh, was an innate attribute in flesh demons, I guess it make some sense. One day, sunk in despair and unable to understand what had happened with her, she looked in the mirror, wondering why she didn't like to men anymore. She looked at her curvy body, she looked at her mischievous smile, looked at her impish big red eyes, everything continued being there, bloody hell... she continued being herself, and she really, really, liked being herself. After that day she continued with her life, much more relaxed, living for herself, and everything started looking much better, even her number of victims grew a lot. Now day, she continue with her job, tempting souls with the pleasures of the flesh, and I must said, she does a great job; after all, she is the most dangerously seductive demon on earth.

"Mr. Obama is falling in the polls because last year he didn't tell the American people that the "change" they were asked to believe in included trillions of dollars in new spending, deferring to the most liberal Members of Congress, a government takeover of health care, and appointees with the views of Van Jones."

Houdini was such a strange and interesting character. One of those people I wish I could sit and have a beer with.

feat. He loved competition, and thus was determined to beat Bey’s record.

On Aug. 5, 1926, after making two practice tests in private, Houdini performed the trick in front of journalists at the swimming pool of the Hotel Shelton in New York.“Houdini felt disturbed by the strong heat he felt inside the box,” writes “Final Séance” author Massimo Polidoro,“and became more irritable than he had been during the tests.… He had visualized the box breaking in two and thought he was going to drown before he could be taken out of it.”

“After one hour and twenty-eight minutes I commenced to see yellow lights and carefully watched myself not to go to sleep,” Houdini would write of his experience.“I kept my eyes wide open.”

He spent 91 minutes in the 700-pound coffin, breaking Bey’s record by about 30 minutes. He emerged from the coffin looking “deathly white,” says Polidoro.

Houdini believed that his experiment could serve as an example for miners who were trapped in shafts with limited oxygen. He said that it was important to not be overwhelmingly afraid when faced with a lack of oxygen.

“The important thing is to believe that you are safe, don’t breathe deeply and don’t make any unnecessary movements,” he remarked.

On the evening of Aug. 5, he sent a letter to Dr. W.J. McConnell, a psychologist with the U.S. Bureau of Mines, who was analyzing data on ways to maximize physical endurance for miners who had limited supplies of oxygen at times.

“There is no doubt in my mind that had this test been where fresh air could have gotten into the galvanized iron coffin as I was put in same, I could have readily stayed fifteen or thirty minutes longer,” he wrote.

The experiment would be Houdini’s last great escape. The famed magician died two months later, on Halloween, from a ruptured appendix.

When he was 17 years old, Ehrich and a friend created a magic act so they could make some money. This was before television, when traveling performances were sometimes the only entertainment around. In his new act, Ehrich called himself "Houdini" in honor of a French magician.

For many years, Harry Houdini struggled to make ends meet. He and his wife, Bess (whom he met while on tour), worked on their stage performance, and while they were perfecting their act, Harry studied other illusionists and developed many tricks.

He grew famous in Europe by challenging policemen to trap him in handcuffs, from which Harry would quickly escape. He brought his act to America and became a sensation. Harry Houdini died on Halloween 1927.

Even though he's been gone over 80 years, there are still lots of things we don't know about Houdini. How did he do some of the harder stunts? Did Houdini work as a spy? And was he murdered?

No matter what our age, we love acts of illusion. Kids love to do them, so when you get "Harry Houdini for Kids" and give it to your young prestidigitator, you know you'll be conjuring up a good time.

Carlson gives kids (and adults) a thorough overview of the life of an American enigma, his reason for fame and a few hints on how Houdini performed some of his stunts.

What I found most valuable about this book wasn't just the biography, which is obvious. I also appreciated the science in here, as well as the history and social studies of the times. Kids will also love the 21 "magic" tricks included.

Nine-to-15-year-olds will enjoy this book, as will an adult fan of illusion or circus lore. Give them "Harry Houdini for Kids" and watch the time disappear.

After a nod to the last movie’s big finish, with Harry bloodied but victorious, the new picture opens in London, where an office filled with nonmagical humans (Muggles, in Rowling-speak) are staring out the high-rise windows — as slack-jawed, presumably, as those filling theater seats — at sinister gray clouds surging in the sky. Suddenly three plumes of black smoke, Death Eaters in fast, fuming motion, cut through the moody overhead dome, race through the streets and wobble the pedestrian-only Millennium Bridge that slings across the Thames, snapping cables, fatally upending human bodies and further unnerving the wizardly world.

If you haven’t been keeping up with the story, well, there’s always Wikipedia. Although Mr. Kloves has done an admirable job tailoring Ms. Rowling’s progressively longer and baggier books, he or, perhaps more accurately, the series’s producers have not made many concessions for the uninitiated. If you have kept pace, you will grasp why Dumbledore (the invaluable Michael Gambon), the headmaster of Hogwarts, has placed so much trust in Harry, a callow student with prodigious wizard gifts and little discernable personality. The chosen one, Harry has been commissioned to destroy the too-little-seen evildoer Voldemort, a sluglike ghoul usually played by Ralph Fiennes (alas, seen only briefly this time out) and here played, in his early embodied form as Tom Riddle, by the excellent young actors Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Frank Dillane.

There must be a factory where the British mint their acting royalty: Hero, who plays the dark lord as a spectrally pale, creepy child of 11, is Ralph Fiennes’s nephew, and Frank is the son of the terrific actor Stephen Dillane (Thomas Jefferson in the HBO mini-series “John Adams”). The younger Mr. Dillane, who plays Voldemort at 16, conveys the seductiveness of evil with small, silky smiles he bestows like dangerous gifts on Jim Broadbent’s Horace Slughorn, a professor whose trembling jowls suggest a deeper tremulousness. When Slughorn, the fear almost visibly leaking from his body, shares the secret of immortality with Voldemort, you feel, much as when Ralph Fiennes raged through “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” in 2005, that something vital is at stake.

If that sense of exigency rarely materializes in “The Half-Blood Prince,” it’s partly because the series finale is both too close and too far away and partly because Mr. Radcliffe and his co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, as Harry’s friends Hermione and Ron, have grown up into three prettily manicured bores. Unlike the veterans, notably the sensational Alan Rickman, who invests his character, Prof. Severus Snape, with much-needed ambiguity, drawing each word out with exquisite luxury, bringing to mind a buzzard lazily pulling at entrails, Mr. Radcliffe in particular proves incapable of the most crucial cinematic magic. Namely the alchemical transformation of dialogue into something that feels like passion, something that feels real and true and makes you as wild for Harry as for all those enticingly dark forces.

Walk Away Renee
And when I see the sign that
points one way
The light we used to pass by
every day
(Chorus):
Just walk away Renee,
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my
block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears that
I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I
I chose to hide
(Chorus)
Now as the rain beats down
upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
(Solo)
(Chorus)
Your name and mine inside
a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me,
though they're so small
(Chorus)
