Dave Carson thought he had won his division in the 2009 National Senior Games.
The 87-year-old Tulsa attorney turned in a time of 2:11.30 in the 100-meter event, which was held in San Francisco at the end of August.
Instead, he placed fourth in the nation in the 85-89-year-old division. He was bested during the next two days of competition.
"Some guy from Germany beat me," Carson said. "I didn't get a chance to swim against him, and I always do better in actual competition."
He said the competition extended to three days because there were so many entries.
Carson might have been disappointed in his national placing, but he still was proud of his accomplishment and knew he represented Oklahoma well.
Now he looks forward to the 2011 competition, fully confident he will do better.
"I will compete in Cincinnati in the 85-89-year-old division — if I am still around in 2011," he said. "I will be 89 that year."
Although the Tulsa swimmer didn't get the gold in California, he returned to Tulsa and in October did the State Senior Olympics, where he added four gold medals and state championships to his collection.
Carson started swimming competitively in 1987 and has been involved every year since.
He found himself at his first meet in St. Louis, where he competed in the freestyle and backstroke events. Then he went to San Antonio; Roanoke, Va.; Norfolk, Va.; and Louisville, Ky.
"I was getting first place in Oklahoma and running out of competitors because they were getting old," Carson said. "At 81, I was beating younger swimmers in the 50-meter breaststroke event in 2003 with a time of 117.37 seconds. My time in the 50-meter freestyle event was 51.15 seconds.
"My opponents were 75, 69 and 61 years old."
Qualifying for the 2009 nationals in Oklahoma City, Carson swam the 100-meter freestyle in 2:22 for first-place honors. He swam the 200-meter freestyle in 5:33.07 for high honors as well and completed the 500-meter freestyle with a time of 15:12.31.
Carson has always liked swimming, even though he didn't compete in either high school or college.
The Bloomington, Ill., native joined the Marine Corps during World War II and was sent to Paris Island, S.C.
He was attached to the Air Corps Attack Torpedo Squadron in San Diego, but before he completed his training, the destroyer base moved out.
Carson was then sent to Cherry Point, S.C., where someone found out he could type, so he was not allowed another assignment.
A law career might seem unlikely for Carson, considering both his father and grandfather were Baptist ministers. He was attracted to the legal profession, though, and completed his studies in 1950 at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan.
Carson became acquainted with former Republican leader Bob Dole, who was two years behind him in law school. Carson said they have remained friends to this day.
He said he used to chide Dole because he was allowed to vocally record his answers on exams, as a result of losing the use of his arm after being injured in combat in Germany.
"I have always told Bob that I could have made 100 percent on my exam if I didn't have to write the answers," Carson said.
After graduation, Carson practiced law in Pittsburgh, Kan., and Wichita, Kan., before moving to Tulsa in 1981. He had a general practice early in his career and tried both civil and criminal cases.
He also did damage claims for State Farm Insurance and still agrees to help with such work if he is needed.
"My last jury trial was before Judge Jane Wiseman," he said.
It was April 19, 1995, and the jury had heard about the Murrah Building bombing in Oklahoma City. From their jury box in the Tulsa County Courthouse, they could see people exiting the Tulsa Federal Building.
The local practice included his son, Russell; brother, Kainor; and wife, Beverly, in the law firm Carson, Carson & Carson.
Although he is somewhat retired, he still handles some legal work.
Carson also does some pro-bono work for Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma. At 87, he probably is one of the oldest attorneys involved with the organization, he said.
"I currently am working on a pro-bono divorce case," he said.
Continuing Legal Education courses are not a requirement because of his age, but Carson attends sessions anyway because they help him stay on top of changes in law as he continues to practice.
As a young lawyer, Carson focused on raising a family and didn't have time for swimming. But he knew he would someday.
When he heard about the Oklahoma Senior Olympics being organized in 1987, he got involved in the swimming competition.
"I was winning every race I was in," he said. "I was ready for the challenge."
That challenge continues today. Carson said he still enjoys the competitive atmosphere.
He admitted to being a bit unsteady and needing assistance as he walks to the blocks at the edge of the pool.
Once in place, however, he is ready for the gunshot.
Life for Carson hasn't been without its health problems. Carson has had a knee replacement and four vertebrae replaced in his neck. After the surgeries, he had to wait a few months to compete again.
Travel plans have been made for a trip to the continent down under.
In late December he is going to Australia to see two great-grandsons and plans to swim there.
Swimming in the ocean will be different because salt water is more bouyant than tap water, Carson said.
He attributes his longevity to his love of swimming.
"I had a pool at every house I owned and would swim every day," he said. "Keeping the body in shape has quite a bit to do with good health."
Training is part of Carson's routine. He swims 20 lengths of a 25-meter pool for 500 meters three times a week.
It's been a habit he has developed over the years.
A person can have good or bad habits, he said. Once a good habit is developed, it is easy to maintain.
One good habit he has developed is being a member of a group known as Roosters. The group helps the Rev. Jim Miller, First Presbyterian Church senior minister, prepare his weekly sermon.
We are called Roosters, Carson said, because we get to the church at 8:30 a.m. every Saturday.
With all of his local activities, his primary focus always drifts back to his next goal, winning his division in the 2011 Olympics.
More Senior Olympic gold ahead
Dave Carson thought he had won his division in the 2009 National Senior Games.

Hard to call themselves Uber for X when they aren't on-demand. I'll reserve judgement because I haven't used the app. I do wonder whether regular massage go-ers are more likely to book a massage for ASAP vs. in advance. My guess is the former.

About us
Learn the story behind and meet the team who makes all this possible
"How do you write an invoice?" This was the question asked by Rui Alves, in 2007, when he created RUPEAL. He wanted a way to fill-in an invoice quickly and simply and send it to the client - as all the new entrepeneurs wanted. After all, how hard could it be?
After researching in the market, we came to the conclusion that most products were filled with unnecessary features, which had a high cost. InvoiceXpress was created thanks to the desire we had of solving our problem. Therefore, we created a software free from licences, contracts or unnecessary setups. With a handy and direct support, we count on over 25.000 users in Portugal and abroad. InvoiceXpress has succeeded in the perspective of the portuguese "startups".
We believe that all the business success has as its source their people and their culture. InvoiceXpress has three principles which we all fulfill:

From Literacy to Arithmetic
We've observed Spalding-taught students' math proficiency improves, causing us to conclude "The Writing Road to Reading" may also lead to more efficient math reasoning.
According to Sylvia Farnham-Diggory, "One of the most important aspects of this program ["The Writing Road to Reading"] is its emphasis upon problem solving. I have seen a number of cases, interestingly, in which children's arithmetic skills improved following a few months of training in this literacy program. I believe this is because the children transferred the analytical, problem-solving strategies they were learning in their reading classes to their arithmetic assignments. They were learning to pay close attention to details, and they were learning that rules and strategies can be invoked to deal with new problems. When they applied those same principles to arithmetic, improvement was sometimes dramatic." (Quote from "Schooling - The Developing Child" by Sylvia Farnham-Diggory, published by Harvard University Press, 1990, pages 130-131.)

Food Poisoning Claim: The amounts of compensation you can claim in the UK for injury to your stomach and intestines from bacteria found on food
Food poisoning Claim: Discover what a food poisoning claim is, the types of bacteria which can cause injury to your digestive system, the symptoms of food poisoning, whom you can claim compensation from with examples of how much compensation you can claim for stomach and intestinal injury.
What is a food poisoning claim?
A "food poisoning claim" is a claim for injury to your digestive system (your stomach and intestines) caused by eating food containing a large amount of bacteria.
Bacteria are tiny living micro organisms, which exist everywhere. Some of which are harmful.
Certain types of harmful bacteria live on raw food and in the correct conditions can multiply extremely fast and reach dangerously high levels. If bacteria are eaten in high levels you can poison your stomach and intestines – which are the prime body parts used in the digestion of food.
The bacteria can poison your system in one of two ways – either by growing in your intestines and damaging the cell lining or by producing harmful toxins.
Bacteria on food can be killed if cooked correctly – a good example of this is salmonella, which is found naturally on chicken. If chicken is cooked thoroughly right the way through – the salmonella bacteria will be killed.
Food must also be stored correctly to prevent any small amounts of bacteria from multiplying – techniques include freezing, storage in a fridge, vacuum packing or adding preservatives such as salt, etc.
What are the names of bacteria which can give rise to food poisoning claims?
The name of the type of food poisoning derives from the type of bacteria which causes the infection of your stomach and intestines, which include:
1. Campylobacter bacteria
Campylobacter is the most common type of bacteria, which can cause food poisoning. It can be found on: chicken and other poultry, red meat, unpasteurised milk and untreated water.
2. Salmonella
Salmonella is the second most common bacteria which can give rise to food poisoning claims in the UK. It is found in meat, poultry, eggs and unpasteurised milk.
3. Clostridium perfringens
Clostridium perfringens can be found in many foods, including meat and poultry. It can also be found in soil – so it is very important that food products are properly washed,
4. Listeria monocytogenes bacteria
Listeria monocytogenes can be found in some cheeses and pâtés and can cause food poisoning and stomach pain if found in large numbers.
5. E Coli bacteria
E Coli is generally a harmless bacteria – but certain types of E Coli can produce a poison, which can cause illness and stomach pains.
6. Bacillus cereus
Bacillus cereus bacteria can be found on uncooked rice – supermarkets and other ready food suppliers go through an extensive process to ensure that this bacteria is eliminated to prevent food poisoning.
What are the symptoms and signs of a bacterial food poisoning claim?
Bacteria on food enter your body into the stomach and the intestine and as such your primary symptoms are to the digestive system and might include: diarrhoea, nausea, fever, vomiting, abdominal pains and cramps.
Some other signs can include hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome even a reduction in sexual performance.
These symptoms can appear immediately following eating of contaminated or can present themselves over several days – as the bacteria multiplies.
Some bacteria can survive in your intestine for long time periods – the worst cases of food poisoning can cause death.
Whom are you most likely to make a food poisoning claim against?
The most common places food poisoning claims are made against are food suppliers including: restaurants, hotels and supermarkets.
Quite often for a food poison claim to be successful a number of customers in a restaurant will have suffered similar symptoms and environmental health upon investigating the restaurant can determine the existence of bacteria in the food or in the kitchens.
How much compensation can you claim for a food poison claim?
A medical report is necessary from a gastric expert who will be able to set out the exact nature of the food poisoning you have suffered, the bacteria involved, the treatments necessary and any potential long term effects.
Based upon this report compensation amounts for your pain and suffering can be determined by your solicitor, some examples for average payouts in 2018, include :
1. Minor food poisoning claim settlements
Food poisoning claims which lead to diarrhoea for a few days or weeks with stomach cramps gives rise to a compensation calculator of: £800 – £3,500
2. Food poisoning requiring hospital admission
More severe food poisoning which can cause stomach cramps, fatigue, the need for a stay at hospital – with symptoms lasting less than two years leads to average claim payouts of: £3,500 – £8,400
3. Severe food poisoning claims compensation calculator
In the most severe types of food poisoning claim symptoms can include vomiting, fever, attendance at hospital, haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, impact on working life, social life and sex life. Compensation settlements in this instance have a significant range from: £8,400 – £46,000
Summary of food poisoning claims
On this page I have set out the most common bacteria, which can give rise to a food poisoning claim together with examples of the amounts of compensation you can claim.

New Shows: May 3 - 9, 2014
The New Shows color code: red means don't bother; blue means maybe; green means good; magenta means great.
A Daughter's Nightmare (Lifetime)
David Spade: My Fake Problems (Comedy)
I've never been a huge fan of this man, but his work on various shows has made me laugh. This hour did not. It was an appalling blend of ridiculousness and faux self-deprecating that made me wince more than once. Truly awful.
Everest Avalanche Tragedy (Discovery)
A few weeks ago, an avalanche on Everest killed sixteen sherpas. Ironically, a Discovery Channel film crew were on site filming an ascent. Instead, they filmed this tragedy. Terribly moving, it focuses on the men who lost their lives and the effect this will have on the sherpa community. I was stunned as I watched this. Not only was the photography second to none, but the men who experienced it were so affected they became nearly poetic. A grim reminder that nature is not always benign.
Hungry Investors (Spike)
The Gospel of Jesus' Wife (Smithsonian)
A small fragment of papyrus has been found that quotes Jesus as saying "my wife…" As you can imagine, this has set off a storm of controversy among scholars and religious leaders. This hour long documentary discusses the authenticity of the fragment and finds it to be more likely than not authentic. If it is, the show goes on to argue, the idea of virginity and celibacy as the ideal will need to re-examined. Truly fascinating.
Alaskan Bush People (Discovery)
Love and Salsa (NuvoTV)
Totally Tracked Down (Reelz)
Most Infamous (Identification Discovery)
American Comedy Awards (NBC)
This was one of the worst awards shows I have seen. The categories were about what you would expect, but it was the same shows over and over again. I mean, neither The Big Bang Theory nor any of its actors were even nominated in their respective categories. The other problem was the winners tried too hard to be funny, and failed. The highlight was the end when Bill Cosby got a lifetime achievement award. I watched this with my roommates and we all agreed that it was nonsense.

I was amused by Spade on "Just Shoot me" a few years ago. Think I'll skip his special anyway. And wow that's a lot of season finales.

And Supernatural! Their finale is this week, too. I don't know what made me think of that. :)

Billie, unless they changed it, supernatural's finale is the 20th. Mentalist, supernatural and svu all go one week later than all the other shows (at least the ones I watch) and review Grimm! This show is so good!

Thank you, Anonymous. I'm an idiot, because I knew that. My only excuse is that I just woke up and haven't had my coffee yet. :)

I actually looked up Supernatural when I was compiling this list as I thought its finale was this week as well. Anonymous is right -- it is on the 20th.

Cats 'compo' pick crucial to Boak deal
THERE is a way for Travis Boak to become a Cat should the midfielder leave Port and ask to be traded to Geelong, which is Black Caviar odds in the prospective race for his signature.
Geelong has one valuable compensation pick for Gary Ablett remaining. While the Cats have not chosen to activate that first round selection for this year, the rules still allow them to trade the choice.
Geelong could use Greater Western Sydney as a third party to consummate any deal with Port, which, doubtless, will want more than just a double figure first round pick for a player whom it selected at No.6 in 2006 and has proven himself as highly capable.
But the ''compo'' pick still shapes as crucial to any potential deal, with the Cats able to supplement it with a player or another draft choice.
GWS has two major items on the auction block that could see it become the deal-maker in the hypothetical Boak trade.
The Giants are selling the rights to the two best 17-year-olds in the country, as they did last year, when clubs went into a bidding frenzy over Jaegar O'Meara (Gold Coast winning the auction). Clubs have already approached the Giants about those 17-year-olds, whom GWS is touting as budding superstars; Claremont's Jack Martin heads the field.
Under one scenario, Geelong would give up the compo pick and perhaps a player to GWS, which would give Port the rights to one of the 17-year-olds. GWS is in the market for a tall back.
The Power would be able to consider a South Australian youngster, such as Luke Reynolds, from the field of half a dozen or so elite 17-year-olds (Adelaide picked a Victorian kid, Brad Crouch, when it traded a compo pick last year).
Melbourne and the Bulldogs have ''activated'' their compensation draft picks (for Tom Scully and Callan Ward) and thus would be well placed to pick up one of the 17-year-olds if they wish, albeit these ''17s'' cannot play at AFL level next year even if they're the second coming of Chris Judd.
If he goes, Boak will be leaving for love, not money. He is paid around $500,000 this year and would likely be as well paid at Port over the next few years as he would anywhere.
Can Geelong afford him? It happens that the Cats will have a salary cap space of about $500,000 opening up, due to changes in the veteran's allowance rules that are favourable to teams with a sizeable number of 10-year players. If they don't get Boak, one senses that they will be in the market for someone.
Geelong estimates that the veteran's rule could give it as much as a million dollars extra in its salary cap - the number depending on how many veterans play on next year; the Cats have 11 players eligible for veteran's status and a cap discount of $110,000 to $115,000 per player.
While Boak would be well paid, the Cats have made clear that he would have to fit into their payment structure, which would start with Joel Selwood and Jimmy Bartel at the top. Under chief executive Brian Cook, the Cats have a policy of ensuring there is the smallest range possible in the payments of their best players - they would rather than several players on $400-$600,000, rather than two on $800,000-plus.
In response to a question about Boak, Cats coach Chris Scott yesterday reiterated that the Cats wouldn't overpay any recruit from another club. ''We will not overpay players. It is really important that we respect the players who have been champions of our club and if a player comes into the Geelong footy club from another club in the AFL, they have got to fit within our pay structure.
''If anyone thinks that they can come in here and get top dollar and come in here over the top of our really good players, they should probably look elsewhere.''
They will need a long-term deal, perhaps even five years, but Port shapes as more difficult to satisfy than Boak. But there is a way, and a will.

Tambon leader, three assistants killed in drive-by shooting in Pattani

Pattani - Insurgents shot dead a tambon leader and three assistants before making off with their guns and salaries of local officials of the tambon.
The shooting occurred at 1 pm on the Narathiwat-Pattani Road in Bango Mulong village in Tambon Trohbon in Saiburi district.
Police said Sangworn Suwanrat, 57, leader of Tambon Thungkla in Saiburi, was shot dead along with three assistants – Preecha Thong-iad, 48, Supaporn Charoensuk, 45, and Porntip Phongern, 34.
Police said the four took part in the monthly meeting at the district office and were returning home with salaries of village heads and defence volunteers in their tambon.
About 10 minutes after they left the district office, they were chased after by a pick-up truck with five people on the back. The five assailants opened fire at the kamnan and assistants, causing his truck to crash into a tree and stop. The insurgents then shot them at pointblank before taking their guns and the cash.

Motorola, just days after launching the Moto X in the UK at an event in London, have announced they have released three new Wooden covers for their flagship device to add to the Bamboo already available.
Moto X Wood Back covers:
The new covers give the Moto X a very stylish and natural look. In all, there are now four covers to choose from, 2 light woods and two dark woods. The two dark woods are Walnut and Ebony. The two light woods are Bamboo and Teak. The three new woods will go on sale from 21st January. As you can see from the picture above, they look fantastic (this is a picture of the Ebony Moto X wood back cover).
These aren't final coverings printed on a plastic case, these are made from the wood themselves, giving the Moto X Wood back covers a very smart and warm look to the device. The covers will come at an additional price of $25 (£15/€18) when bought through Moto Maker, where you can customise your phone before it is shipped to you from Motorola.
Remember, although the Moto X has been launched in Europe, it's not for sale (yet) till February. Once it is, it is my hope that the Moto Maker site comes to the UK too, allowing you to customise the device prior to shipping. Till then, however, we can only play around with the US version of the Moto Maker site to get an idea of what the device will look like.
In my quick play around with the site, I found that the two light woods suite the white fascia better. The two dark woods suit the black fascia. This is because both the front and the back are two separate pieces. In my review of the Moto G last year (the Moto X's little brother), when we had a couple of cases to snap on to review, I noted that with a light colour, there is a distinct difference between the back and the front (on the review, I had a yellow back with a black front). So if you had your heart set on having a white front with an Ebony back, there will be a stark contrast between the two.

How society is polluting the children with sin instead of correcting them
I work with small children. I used to be a teacher and now I am a teacher's aid. I love being around kids, listening to what they say, watching what they do. I love how they learn, and best of all is being a part of opening up the world of literacy for them. Even tying their shoes and wiping their noses is satisfying because it helps them. I especially love working with them in the faith setting, teaching them about Jesus, because their faith is sure and innocent.
Though children are not sinless, they are declared innocent. In Deuteronomy 1:39 we read about little ones who have no knowledge of good or evil. There's a point in life when you don't have conscious knowledge of good or evil, you haven't reached that condition of accountability before Holy God. Isaiah 7:16 says the same. Based on those verses and others that tell me there is an age of accountability, and prior to that, a child's deeds are not held against him.
But children DO sin. Oh, yes. Make no mistake. I believe that in former times, children were more innocent and less sinful and willful early in their lives than they are now. The rampant sin that has polluted the earth has touched the hearts of children at an earlier and earlier age. When I began teaching in 1982 I never saw what I am seeing now. Let me give some examples.
There is a video going around called something like 'bed time bandit'. It is a short video of a two-year-old boy who is covetous of his sister's pillow pet. He had kept going into his sister's room to steal it at night, so the parents said to the sister, 'lock your door.' (Nothing is said of how they punished the brother for stealing it in the first place.) Even though she locked it, the sister still insisted the brother was stealing the pet. So the parents set up a video camera to watch what was happening at night. Not to be thwarted in his coveting of the item, the boy devised a plan when confronted with the locked door. The video depicts what unfolded...
The boy emerges from his room at night, gripping a pair of opened fingernail clippers. He carefully closes his bedroom door, I surmise so that the light wouldn't alert anyone. He spends a few moments carefully picking the lock of his sister's door, and when successful, goes back to his room to replace the clippers. I surmise he did this so as not to be caught with the tools of breaking and entering. Then he goes in, grabs the toy, and scuttles out, all the while silent in his footie pajamas and silently closing all the doors behind him. The video ends with his parents laughing.
I'm not laughing.
The boy devised a plan to thwart his parents' orders, and to illegally enter a place he was told not to go to get a thing that was not his. He thought about this plan for a while, so we have malice aforethought. He was studious at every step of the way, in replacing the clippers, being quiet, and closing the doors, so we have stealth.
How often does a two-year-old have the fine motor skills to pick a lock? How much mental energy was given over to decide which tools would do the job? He didn't choose a knife, or a screwdriver or a fork or a stick. He selected just the right tool because he spent time thinking about it first. How often does a two-year old have the patience to perform a minute fine-motor task, in the dark??
What happens when the kid is sixteen and he wants some beer from a locked store? Or to change his grades which are on a computer behind a locked office?
And what does that tell the sister, that she has to lock her door against her brother just to be safe in her own home? And how safe is it to have a child sleeping in a locked room...what if there is a fire?
Here is second example I thought was repugnant. It is called "Tooth Fairy fake-out." A little girl who has lost her tooth explains to her mother that she has devised a plan to 'trick the tooth fairy'. She will trick the tooth fairy because she wants to keep the tooth but she still wants the money. She decided to roll up a piece of paper and put that under her pillow instead. She is quite happy with that plan.
Until the next day, when instead of the money she expected, she received a 'ticket' from the tooth fairy. She was furious.
Thirdly, on the playground I overheard a discussion. Several kindergartenters were fussing because one of them had been told that they could not be on stage. (There is a concrete pavilion with picnic tables they use for various purposes). The child was mad because she had been told by another child that she "was a no-talent and couldn't be on the stage with the rest." She was angry and said that she had plenty of talent. I pondered that for a while. I wondered, where do kids get the idea of talent and no talent and stages and performing and talk to each other like that?
Ohhh. Now I see- it is the effects of the Simon Cowell-like barbs and insults. Kids watch these reality talent shows like Dancing with the Stars and The Voice and American Idol and watch the adults shame each other at another's expense. Then they repeat that behavior on the playground.
I don't blame the kids. They're kids. And the pervasive influence of instant video that captures moments like these and social media which repeats them are also helping to serve up sin on a silver platter. In 1982 when I began teaching, there were no video recorders, or internet. I'm sure that these behaviors still happened, but they weren't replicated and they certainly weren't celebrated, or rewarded!
No, kids are kids. They model their behavior after watching us and by what they are taught. Sometimes they are actively taught to sin, as in the above cases.
How so, you ask? Well, the family of the child who tried to cheat the tooth fairy was given $100,000. They were the big winners of the America's Favorite Video contest and feted with confetti and streamers and prizes and affirmation. "Cheat and lie, win money!"
|Not the tooth fairy family, but you get the idea...
I pray for the rapture to come. I say that unashamedly. What Christian would not want to be with Jesus in person, given a choice? Away from sin and disease and in glory and perfection? But I also pray for it on behalf of the children. They are suffering so badly. Not just the ones who are actively being abused, neglected, abandoned and killed in the womb. (or outside of the womb). But I pray for the ones who are abused by sinful adults who do not teach the child the way he should go. (Proverbs 22:6). Who celebrate their sin and profit from it instead of teaching them God's statutes.
"Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul." (Proverbs 29:17)
Won't it be a beautiful thing when children can be brought to the Lord Jesus in the Millennium, and they can learn directly from Him?!?!
Meanwhile, I say that the children are polluted with sin from birth and it is up to us to train them in righteousness, not capture it on video and celebrate it. Why pollute the children more?

A triangle is a polygon with three sides. The height of a triangle is a perpendicular line segment from one side to an opposite vertex. If you made a flipped copy of the triangle, you could put the two triangles together to form a parallelogram. The parallelogram has a base equal to the base of one triangle and height equal to the height of one triangle. Recall that the area of a parallelogram is A = b × h. Since it takes two identical triangles to make a parallelogram, the area of a triangle is A = ½(b × h), or A = ½bh.

The signs are promising: Andy Murray has been hard at work in Monaco for the past few days preparing for his first clay court event of the season and after a month of doubt and worry about his ailing right elbow, he is safely installed as the top seed for the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters which starts today.
The world No.1 has not played a competitive match for just over a month due to that pesky elbow, an injury he picked up in Indian Wells at the start of March, and even last Monday, he was still not sure whether he was ready to return to the fray.
Speaking after a charity exhibition match against Roger Federer – Murray lost in straight sets but was none too fussed as it was all in a good cause – he told the reporters in Switzerland that it was still touch and go whether he was ready for full-blooded competition play.
"The plans are trying to get ready for Monte Carlo, that's the goal," he said. "I'll practice [in Nice] for the next three or four days, and try and increase the serving. The elbow is a lot better than it was a week ago, but to play a tournament right now would be tough. To do well, you have to be able to play five days in a row, and to be serving a little bit faster and harder than tonight. I'll just have to see. I'm not sure whether I'll be ready for Monte Carlo or not."
But since then, he has worked hard and has been at the scenic Monte Carlo Country Club practising with the likes of David Goffin and Marin Cilic. Against Federer on Monday night, he only dared risk a couple of full-throttle serves; clearly now he feels he is ready to put his serving arm to the test against the world's best.
The draw has been kind to Murray and, as the top seed, he has a first-round bye and will not play until Tuesday at the earliest. His opening match will be against either Gilles Muller from Luxembourg or the veteran Spaniard, Tommy Robredo. Rafael Nadal, the nine-time champion, has been drawn in the bottom half along with Novak Djokovic who is also making his way back from an elbow injury. Federer, meanwhile, is in the middle of a two-month break after his spectacular start to the year and will not play a clay court event until the French Open at the end of May.
Alas, the current world No.1 does not have the luxury of affording himself time off to rest and recover if he wants to stay there. His opportunity to reinforce his position at the top of the rankings has come and gone in a flurry of illnesses (a dose each of shingles and flu) and his injury woes.
For all that he was the best player on the planet for the second half of last season – he won 50 of 53 matches and collected eight titles between June and November – he had got the year off to a slow start. So, with few ranking points to defend as the 2017 season started, this was his chance to put clear water between himself and his rivals. There were big ranking tournaments to play in Indian Wells and Miami and the chance to bank ranking points aplenty before he had to start defending the nine titles he won over the course of last year. But it did not work out like that.
Murray ran himself ragged getting to the No.1 spot. It had not been in the plans to get to the top by the close of play in 2016 but when the opportunity presented itself, he was not going to waste it.
Yet once the target had been reached, he was mentally and physically exhausted.
His form this year has spluttered and stuttered: a fourth-round loss at the Australian Open, a second-round loss in Indian Wells and no chance to play in Miami due to that elbow injury. He did win the title in Dubai and reached the final in Doha but it was at the top ranking events that he needed to start collecting bucketloads of points.
The clay court season is rumbling into life and between now and the start of June he has 3,160 points to defend. Put another way, if he does not match his results of last year – a semi-final finish in Monte Carlo, a final spot in Madrid, the title in Rome and the runner-up position at Roland Garros – his cushion at the top of the rankings will start to deflate. At the moment, he is 4,045 points ahead of Djokovic, his nearest rival.
By the time he gets to Queen's Club and the start of the grass court season, he will have six months to defend a further 7,690 points. He needs his serving arm – and the rest of him – to be in good nick for that huge challenge. But at least he is in the draw in Monte Carlo. That is a very promising sign.

""Robert Green, who played the first half in England's 3-1 win over Mexico and made two close-range saves, said the uncertainty has sparked a "healthy" competition among him, Joe Hart and David James.
"In international football, chances don't come along very often," Green said after making his 10th England appearance Monday. "We're all in the running and it shouldn't be any other way. ... It's something that's healthy where we keep pushing each other."
Hart, who was on loan at Birmingham from Manchester City this season, took over for Green in the second half.
"I'm still looking over my shoulder," said Hart, who has no clue whom coach Fabio Capello will pick for England's opening game against the United States on June 12.""
Uh oh, don't tell Capello he should have chosen his starters by now.

Metricosity is easy..if the first number is bigger than the second number, that's good. But if the second number is the same or larger than the first number you must divide by the reciprocal and add 32.

For a minute there I thought Rongen was getting a try out with DC United. It wouldn't have surprised me and probably wouldn't make the team any worse.

What happens every time you see that special someone
1. Chapter 1
Rating 0/5 Word Count 167 Review this Chapter
Every time I think about you,
my heart flies
Every time I think about you,
I can't help but smile
Every night I dream about you,
But they never come true
Every second of every day
You are in my thoughts,
and never away
Can't you feel the silent signals
my love is sending your way?
My feelings for you will never go away
I think we are meant for each other
But you don't even bother
To glance my way
You have no idea how much it hurts,
Because I'm too big to cry
Every day I wonder,
If there is someone special in your life
And how I wish that someone could be me
I cannot live without you
You own my heart,
But you don't even know it
Did you know that love can hurt this much
If I did, I would have stopped
But I can't turn off my feelings
Do you know how much I love you?
Thinking about you hurts physically
And I know that everyone thinks I'm silly
But they don't realize how I feel about youA
nd neither do you
I love you
But only
On my own

Donna Coriale Clapper, age 73, of 34 Green Street, Mohawk, passed away on Sunday, October 21, 2012.
Donna Coriale Clapper, age 73, of 34 Green Street, Mohawk, passed away on Sunday, October 21, 2012.
She was born on April 25, 1939, in the Town of Frankfort, the daughter of Salvatore and Mary Rose (Lennon) Coriale. She attended Utica schools until 1954, at which time her family moved to Ilion. She graduated from Ilion High School in 1957. Donna worked for the New York Telephone Company until her marriage to Robert Tallman, and raised her four children. Her love of cooking and children led to a career of thirty-four years in food service at Mohawk and Herkimer schools. She later married Richard Clapper, Sr., a union of thirty-one years, and was co-owner of Clapper's Hollow Ice Cream Shop, and together they catered many functions in the Mohawk Valley area. She was a member of the Mohawk Reformed Church, forty-six year member and past president of the Mohawk American Legion Auxiliary and the New York State Food Service Organization.
Survivors include her husband, Richard "Dick"; daughters, Mary Kathleen and Todd
Brentlinger, and Kelly and Eric Gehring; her sons, Robert and Kathy Tallman, and LCDR Daniel and Pam Tallman; her step-children, Richard and Linda Clapper, Jr., and Amy (Clapper) Netti and friend, Rick Potter; her grandchildren, Kristina (Gehring) and Jason Tomei, Jason Gehring, Emily Gehring, Jenna Brentlinger, Sharra Brentlinger, Lianna Brentlinger, Megan Tallman, Matt Tallman, Katie Tallman, Zoe Tallman, Zachary Tallman, Sascha Clapper, Jarhett Clapper, Cameron Platt, Grace Ann Netti, Ashley Fobare and Alexis Fobare; her siblings, Frances Brewer, Anthony and Pat Coriale, Salvatore and Barb Coriale, Chris and Mary Coriale, and Jim and Diedra Coriale; her in-laws, Robert (Tino) Valentine, Sharron and Jim Hale, Chapman and Sharon Clapper, Doug and Nan Clapper, Dick Tansley, Drew and Chris Shepard; and many nieces and nephews.
Donna was predeceased by her father, Salvatore Coriale; her mother, Mary Rose Coriale; her children's father, Robert Tallman, Sr.; her sister, Pamela Shepard; her father-in-law, Chapman Clapper; her stepfather-in-law, Henry Pape; her mother-in-law, Bessie (Clapper) Pape; her brother-in-law, Fred Clapper; her sister-in-law, Beatrice Tansley; and her sister-in-law, Shirley Valentine.
At Donna's request, friends and family may pay their respects at the Mohawk Reformed Church on Saturday, October 27, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by a Memorial service at 11:00 a.m., with Pastor Brian Engel officiating. Burial will follow immediately after the Memorial service at the Village of Mohawk Cemetery.
The Mohawk American Legion Auxiliary service will be held Saturday, October 27, 2012, at 9:45 a.m. at the Mohawk Reformed Church.
In lieu of flowers, as an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to Mohawk Reformed Church or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Envelopes will be available at the church.

by Wendy V. Ash
I enter a room of eager parents at an open house at an area school. I walk to the front and ask:
"Raise your hand if you took Spanish in high school."
As little less than half the hands in the room go up. Then I ask:
"How many of you can SPEAK Spanish?"
Three quarters of the hands drop with one straggler making a gesture and facial expression that I take to mean "I can get by and find a bathroom in a Spanish-speaking country and order a beer." I then hold up a puppet of a dog I have on my hand and ask:
"How many of you know how to say THIS in Spanish?"
More hands add to the fraction left, some did not have their hands ever up at any time. In fact, one parent exclaimed "I took German!". I choose a person who has their hand up and ask them how to say it. They reply:
"Perro" (no rolling "rr")
Here is where I stop and point out one of the things I teach. That rolling "rr" that many don't, or have never acquired. I explain that this, along with other pronunciation, is a crucial part of my program. Getting those muscles toned up by exercising our active vocabulary is the best way to do this and the best time is from age 2 to 7. After that, it is difficult to acquire a native accent. Besides, who doesn't wan't to exercise different vocal muscles to have a strong voice?
I then go on to ask:
"Does anybody know how to say 'elephant' or 'zebra' in Spanish?"
All hands go down at this point and parents look at each other to see who might know the answer. I respond:
"It is 'elefante' and 'zebra' (said with Spanish pizzaz) and the spelling is VERY similar to the English spelling. So WHY did nobody know that? After all, 'perro' sounds nothing like dog… yet quite a few of you remembered it and knew it."
Again, parents are thinking to themselves, but nobody has a response. After a few seconds of building momentum I answer:
"Because we don't see elephants and zebras walking down our streets. Because 'elephant' and 'zebra' is not in the 6% – 12% of every day vocabulary. While we could recall those words in our native language easily from the recesses of our brain outside of that 6%-12%, to do so in another language, much less at such a young age, is nearly impossible without constant exposure."
You see, in high school I'm guessing they crammed 50% – 70% of the dictionary in 4 years (a fraction of which I'm sure you don't recall). You learned how to conjugate up, down, and sideways but when they sent you on your way, it was up to you to speak, converse, and practice. The reality is that the latter should have been done FIRST.
Total immersion programs, which are rising in popularity but still are in small numbers and not available to all, spend far more time exposing a child to Spanish. The average time that I spend with your child in an average school or preschool is one half hour per week. That is ALL. I needed to find a way to maximize on this sliver of time. Through my lesson plans based on Spanish high frequency vocabulary, it is very possible to ingrain in them the most basic and valuable Spanish conversation they need to engage in dialogue with other speakers. Once that takes root, they can then move on to reading, which I encourage with my mini bilingual books that accompany my lessons. When reading occurs, they can begin to add on the 80% of grammar that one acquires through literacy.
Fortunately, I have the distinct advantage of clearly remembering how I acquired a second language at an early age and its processes. I combine that with linguistic teaching methods and am incredibly lucky to be able to share this with your children and students.
But SHHH! …it's a secret!

Why BOLD Method?
What is the BOLD Method for birth and why choose it?
Most education systems teach us what to think, not how to think.
This is a dying paradigm.
Facts don't set us free.
What frees us is being able to create.
If you've read my book or my blog, you understand something about me- my air is freedom and my fire is in supporting your impulse- to evolve, to unleash your gifts, to activate potential within you. When I was an elementary school teacher, I wanted my students to remember the love and joy of learning, to remember me as someone who believed in them, and I wanted them to go forth in a knowing that they are capable. I continue this work as a childbirth educator, with the desire to light your fire!
That is why I chose The BOLD Method for birth. Because it teaches you tools to awaken something within you, your place of power and creativity.
It exists within the new paradigm,
open to big-picture, intuitive thinking
and is facilitated within a co-creative community
Honestly, I would not have become a childbirth educator if not for the BOLD method. It's fluidity meets my own need to grow and evolve with and in my work, and these tools allow me to do BOTH the things I love: support you in creating an empowered birth AND in birthing anything in you which is creative.
These are tools you can access for the rest of your life!
Tools that will:
connect you with your true nature
empower you to birth your unique gifts
The BOLD Method invites you to discover what it is YOU think. Within a sacred space and given the questions, your answers will arise spontaneously. So that when it comes time for your birth, you are aware and empowered. And that empowerment does not depend on a birth outcome. You stand strong in the part of you that is already liberated.
I love that there is no "getting it right"
I love that we can use everything that shows up
in a birth
in our life
(things that may have previously been judged as bad, wrong, etc)
as an opportunity
to grow

The 2016 Honens Festival begins Thursday, Sept. 8, in Calgary with an 18-hour outdoor performance of Vexations by Erik Satie, the longest piano composition ever written.
Forty pianists will play the work in shifts beginning at 4:30 a.m. on Stephen Avenue in downtown Calgary, a music marathon that will wrap up around 11 p.m. when Marc-André Hamelin will play the final iterations of the work's motif, which gets repeated 840 times altogether. For enthusiasts outside Calgary, the performance will also be webcast here.
This unusual happening marks the 150th anniversary of Satie's birth and helps draw attention to one of classical music's iconoclasts.
"He was a musical outsider, an eccentric and arguably a musical genius," says Honens artistic director Stephen McHolm via email. "Any Satie tribute should celebrate his emphatic wackiness, for lack of a better word. Vexations was written in 1893 but was never published nor performed until American composer John Cage found it in 1949. Eventually Cage put together a relay performance in New York City — 53 years and a day before this Calgary premiere of the work."
McHolm contextualizes the work: "Vexations is quintessential Satie — a fiendishly notated motif, which, when repeated the prescribed 840 times, creates a kind of mysticism. 'It would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities,' he wrote as a preface to the piece. Who knows if he means this as a musical direction or a warning of what will befall the performer or listener? This is the composer, after all, whose disdain for the mainstream eventually alienated him from the cultural establishment of Paris (the Montmontre bohemians such as Debussy, Ravel, Picasso)."
"Satie had an appetite for the absurd," McHolm continues, "And let's face it, what's more absurd than 40 pianists playing the same theme 840 times in this birthday performance?"
Pianist Derek Chiu has the honour of starting the performance at 4:30 a.m. "Derek comes to this very philosophically," explains McHolm. "He likes the idea of performing — and this piece in particular — at a time that is peaceful and solitary." Chiu told McHolm, "Performing in the middle of the night will allow me to experience these sounds intimately without the distractions of a busy world."
"Derek also smartly suggested that he start off the performance at 4:33 a.m. (instead of 4:30) as a tribute to Cage," McHolm notes. "Cage of course is famous for his composition titled 4'33", which is commonly perceived as four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Seeing as Cage is the inspiration for this Calgary performance, how could we say no?"
'Are you kidding?'
We asked McHolm to describe the reactions he got from pianists when he invited them to take part in this day-long performance.
"'How long is this piece?' 'Are you kidding?' 'You want me to play at what time?' [But] people quickly warmed up to the idea of performing as part of the relay team when they realized that this would be the first-ever public performance of Vexations in Calgary. It doesn't hurt that they can say they are on the same bill as Artem Yasynskyy, Minsoo Sohn and Marc-André Hamelin after all."
Pianist Artem Yasynskyy was a finalist at the 2015 Honens Competition.
Any performance of Satie's Vexations — let alone one that happens outdoors — is a logistical challenge, but McHolm says the Honens staff and 40 volunteer pianists have a plan in place to keep it on the rails.
"The team has been sent a detailed schematic drawing that looks like some obscure equation on a university chalkboard. There is a traffic map indicating where a pianist should stand while the previous pianist performs his or her penultimate repetition. (Each pianist plays 21 of the 840 repetitions.) Pianists need to indicate to an official volunteer counter after each repetition and after the 21st, the next pianist sits on the bench and takes over. If a pianist is late or loses his or her nerve to perform the previous pianist just keeps playing!"
McHolm, himself an amateur pianist, has volunteered to take one of the 40 shifts. "I wasn't nervous until I saw the stage instructions. Whoever follows me better show up on time! I've been practicing the motif for a few weeks but I still feel like I'm sight-reading. It isn't exactly a melodic motif, which makes memorization difficult. I also find my mind wandering during these hypnotic repetitions. John Cage approached the first performance with a 'zen' state in mind. I can see how states of either zen or madness could set in!"
'All-encompassing agony'
An 18-hour performance of Vexations is an endurance test for all involved, and McHolm doesn't expect anybody to be there for the whole thing. "Because we're staging the performance on the steps of Contemporary Calgary's Stephen Ave. gallery, the public can either settle in on the outdoor seating or simply 'get vexed' during a casual pedestrian stroll. Those who have experienced Vexations in the past have expressed feelings ranging from meditative calm to anger. Ask them to hum the melody — even after hours of listening — and they can't do it. If ever there was an unsuccessful earworm, Vexations may be it.
"Because we're limiting each pianist to 21 repetitions, we probably won't run into problems that have been reported by pianists who have performed the entire work themselves. There are stories of repetitive hand strain, which would be expected, but even more disturbing are reported hallucinations with notes on the score coming to life as crawling ants. Now that's vexation!"
A 2013 New Yorker article titled "A Dangerous and Evil Piano Piece" describes the reactive stages of listeners who endured all 840 iterations of the Vexations theme. "Fascination morphs into agitation, which gradually morphs into all-encompassing agony."
If that's not your cup of tea, there are other ways to celebrate Satie's 150th birthday at the Honens Festival. The first features 2015 Honens Competition finalist Artem Yasynskyy playing Satie, Alain, Debussy, Ravel, Cage and Pesson at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, on Sept. 10. And the festival's closing concert on Sept. 11 includes Satie's fanfare for two trumpets, Sonnerie pour réveiller le roi des singes – lequel ne dort toujours que d'un oeil, and his Musique d'ameublement played by members of the Kensington Sinfonia, as well as his Trois Gymnopédies played by Minsoo Sohn.
