Perhaps you had basic exposure to Calculus in school, but never really understood the concept. Kenny Felder has written a superb simple review that will free you of any 'derivative' hangup on this subject. I-get-it-now. And there's more to Kenny than just math, as you'll see.

Types of memory and learning are subjects many of us are forgetting about, as we get older. See Memory . Are you an auditory, visual or kinesthetic learner? Or have you forgotten how to learn? I find that creative thinking interferes with my learning process. It's like a distraction.

Cable and Satellite fees keep going up, but hurrah! over-the-air (OTA) channels are free. The new digital TV signals, especially OTA High Definition (not in all countries), produce clean pictures without interference. A low cost small antenna and amplifier will do the job in most cases. We live in the woods and get HD with an attic antenna, even with rabbit ears. The antenna coax cable connects directly to the back of an HD ready TV sets.

Just make sure you point that antenna right.

Here is a neat web page with instructions for building a cheapy, highly effective attic antenna: Make your own.

If you are a foreign channels buff, you can wallow in international programming via the new Echostar satellite in orbital slot 118.75 degrees W.L. We like DW-TV which broadcasts in German and in English using the 16:9 format. For a different perspective of the world, this German gov sponsored program, channel 725 on Dish Network ($10/mo), using Dish 500+ or Dish 1000+ will tease you with truths you can't get in our controlled media greedocracy. But you better have a clear shot towards the southwestern sky.

Oh, I almost forgot, the French have a neat news channel: EuroNews. It's included in the French language and German packages, but is also available a la carte for $2/mo or so. Using your Dish Network remote control you can select one of 5+ languages. Moreover, if you want to see German soccer "live" which started August 15, you'll have to order channel 610 too. Now it may be cheaper to get the whole German language package.

With the high cost of fuel, it is time to try hypermiling. Some of us have done it for years and the habit is now paying off. Coasting downhill or up to red lights and stop signs is unlawful in trucks but not a problem for stick shift cars. Plan a route with right turns. Left turns waste gas.

My carbon footprint is exceptionally low at 5.406 tons per year. The average number for US residents is 20 tons, compared to 11 tons for residents of industrialized nations, and 4 tons for global residents according to Carbonfootprint.com.
