I remember this song very well. Beyond the Sea Artist: Bobby Darin Somewhere beyond the sea somewhere waiting for me my lover stands on golden sands and watches the ships that go sailin Somewhere beyond the sea she's there watching for me If I could fly like birds on high then straight to her arms I'd go sailin' It's far beyond the stars it's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt my heart will lead me there soon We'll meet beyond the shore we'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea and never again I'll go sailin' I know beyond a doubt my heart will lead me there soon We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea and never again I'll go sailin'

I love that song, in fact I love all the songs from that genre from that era. We were at Mel's Drive In last week, and I just love the places that have the juke box at the table and all the 50's and 60's memorabilia on the walls, and I put on Frank Sinatra's "they way you look tonight" and my dh just rolled his eyes. LOL. He played Jambalaya and Lovesick Blues. He's a Hank fan. LOL.

120 x .018 = 2.16

LOL boy was I off! Thanks Deb! Caleb was having trouble figuring it out, Darren's in bed and obviously I have no clue. He said thank you, now he remembers how to do it, lol. It's kinda funny he asked. Saturday my sister called me. Our cousins 12 year old had just called her to ask for help with a math problem (5X = 5Y + 15) and sis couldn't remember how to do it. She called here and asked Darren. He said call you back in a few. He worked on it then admitted he couldn't remember how to do it either. I peeked over his shoulder and said 3 I would divide 15 by 5 and say the answer was 3, but knew it wouldn't be right because it wouldn't even out. Caleb looked at it and didn't know, so he took the problem over to our neighbor girls who are 12 and 13 and smart as can be. They had trouble, their dad got in on it, finally the girls figured it out. At the same time we were tring to figure it out, sis had called a friend and started him and his kids on working on the same problem and they couldn't figure it out! Then Caleb came home with the neighbor girls answers, 3 and -3. Me, Darren and sis couldn't figure it out 5(3) = 5(-3) + 15 or 5(-3) = 5(3) + 15 just don't work out. Funny thing is cousins girl had looked in the back of the book and the answers were indeed 3, -3, but still none of us could figure it out. And that's how a 7th grade math problem stumped a bunch of adults and several kids who should know better!

Well, look at it this way. You can figure out that 10% of 100 is 10, right? So 18% of 100 is 18, right? So then you want to add in 18% of 20. So you now the answer is going to be over 18, and go from there to get a ballpark figure of what you are looking for. And, of course, you just multiply 120 x .18 to get the 21.6.

Yep, what Juju said.. that is often a way to logically break it down, plus it gets kids (and adults) thinking in practical terms, how to solve math problems.

I am trying to figure out the name of a creek by my house. Does anyone have any good maps places I could look? I have tried a couple of searches and have not had any luck. I need a topigraphical map for Concord, CA that has the name of the creeks and rivers. I think it is a little creek, not big enough to be a river.TIA.

Can you send an email to a Concord Official and see if they know?

halfunit, I thought of that as I was walking home from the busstop. I am good friends with the grafetti patrol, so maybe I can find someone else down there who knows. I was just hoping someone might know of a good map site where I could try and figure it out. Somehow I don't think the public officials will have the same "need to know" as I do, LOL.

Is it Walnut Creek? (I know, probably not!) I grew up in Concord, and I don't remember any of the other creeks having names.

I see Walnut Creek, and Copntra Costa Canal and an aquaduct too, but the title changes to Walnut Creek when I get to that creek. Pine Creek? Diablo Creek? http://www.topozone.com/states/California.asp?county=Contra+Costa&feature=Building

I'm thinking these people would be the best to ask, but I guess it depends what your interest in the creek is. If you want to clean it up, they're your guys! http://www.oaklandpw.com/page17.aspx

LMAO, pamy, that is what I shall call it, especially if the rains some and it rises again. Seamonkey, It is not even on that map, LOL. Pine Creek it to far east. I am wondering if it is too small to qualify for a name. But that is an excellent map, thanks.
