Now that Walter and Olivia are united in their respective Peter-glimpsing insanities, they can work together! Walter has set up all kinds of video cameras to try to capture (for posterity) the apparition, and he's calmed down now that he knows he doesn't have to lobotomize himself. But Olivia's feeling a little more stress, because she wakes up with some sort of energy coalescence in her bedroom.
Walter, eager to prove that he's much too valuable to be recommitted to St. Claire's (which is Dr. Sumner's recommendation), ventures outside the lab as he and Olivia track down a former Cortexiphan experimental victim, I mean SUBJECT, who had some kind of astral projection ability. Cameron no longer has that, but involuntarily affects electromagnetic fields, meaning he can't even go on a date with a woman lest he pull the fillings from her teeth. But seeing as how Dr. Freak (aka Walter) is not the intimidating presence he used to be, Cameron agrees to use that power to destroy the visiting energy bugging Olivia. But when it comes again, it manifests itself into a humanoid form that looks like Peter -- to Olivia, that would be the man in her dream -- so she calls off the energy assassination. Also, she got the sense that it didn't mean her any harm.
So the energy coalescence goes away, right into Reiden Lake, where an actual, physical Peter surfaces. He knows about Fringe, and Olivia and Walter and everybody, but Fringe has no IDEA who this guy Peter is. But now he's back, he's at the hospital, so hopefully Olivia can figure out that this stubbly stranger is Walter's son and the man of her dreams.
Daniel is a writer in Newfoundland with a wife and a daughter. He thinks Peter was lucky that the Reiden Lake fishermen weren't using dynamite. Follow him on Twitter (@DanMacEachern) or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.<
It's early morning at Olivia's place -- 5:58 a.m., to be exact. No, wait, 5:59. Forgot about the movies/television rule that states any shot of a clock has to have the clock tick up by one minute. Olivia sleeps, and morning light starts to creep across her face, shining in through the curtains, which rustle despite there not being any wind. Olivia's keys slide off her nightstand, followed by a couple more objects, and a bluish-white cloud of energy takes shape at the foot of her bed, hovering over her.
Her clock goes from 5:59 to 6:00, setting off the alarm clock, and she stirs, and is understandably startled to see this thing in front of her. She throws off her blanket and goes for her gun (Wait! Maybe it brings you peace and love!), but then the thing is gone, and Olivia's left with nothing but a bunch of metallic objects on the floor. (Thank god she keeps her more, um, intimate items in the drawer).
And then, strangely enough, her clock goes from 5:59 to 6:00 again, and the alarm goes off. Olivia looks around her bedroom, but there's nothing but the Bieber posters on the wall.
Over at the lab, Walter's mood is much improved from last week, and he seems to have suffered no untoward effects form having rammed a spike into his face. He and Astrid are working on some project that seems to consist of throwing a peanut into the air and photographing it from a bunch of different angles, via the many cameras set up in a ring.
Olivia strolls in, with Walter delighted that she's visiting (and momentarily confused when she reminds him that she works there) and tells her the setup they have going on is to capture the "apparition" that's been haunting them: "I believe the apparition may be out of phase with our reality. And for that reason, he is not visible from all directions. Instead he's visible only from one specific angle, which is why I can see him and no one else can. So: multiple camera taking pictures from multiple angles. He got the idea from watching The Matrix, we learn. That, and dirty bong water.
Anyway! Olivia tells them about her morning visitor, and about the droning noise, and about the metal objects in a pile on her floor, and the fact that it touched her. She takes off her jacket and hands it to Walter so she can roll up her sleeve and show them the ugly burn on her forearm. She wonders if she's causing this, like when she was a child and set fire to that room. Walter suggests they get a DNA scraping, so they can figure out exactly what form of energy is doing this. He strides over to a desk and puts Olivia's jacket on a chair, and a letter in her pocket catches his eye, especially the St. Claire's logo on the return address.

TAP is Portugal's national airline, a member of Star Alliance. With the surge of low cost airliners TAP had to change their game and adapt to the fierce price competition. They moved from a two class (Tourist and Executive) ticket policy, to a five one. Each ticket class has different services attached to it, hence a different price tag. They wanted a website that explained what was this change all about, and what each of the five services encompassed.
When people travel by plane their mind is already at the destination even before they arrive. We explored that concept and recreated the plane's interior with different scenarios. As if when traveling, people were "already there". Each scenario represented a typification of the traveler and established a relationship with the cost and services provided by the airline.

Join us for VOW Talk Radio to hear our interview with Eddie Bryant, founder of PTSD Survivors of America. Eddie will take us on a walk in his shoes and what it's like to live with PTSD.
Eddie served in the Army National Guard and was injured in an IED blast during a deployment. He has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Eddie has been treated for PTSD in the VA Medical System since his return from deployment in 2007. Feeling that the treatment options currently available are not meeting the needs of our veterans, Eddie decided to start PTSD Survivors of America to help veterans to get the support and treatment they need to move forward with their lives after combat. As Eddie continues to receive treatment for his own post traumatic stress issues, he takes what he is learning and offers help to his fellow survivors of PTSD.

refPropane - Wikipedia
5 is not enough: is the only person that answered your question.
CO is produced when most of the available oxygen is used up so ventilation is imperative. Not just exhaust ventilation but fresh air must be brought in.
Here's what I'd recommend to anyone considering using a turkey fryer indoors:
Get yourself a carbon monoxide detector, they are relatively cheap and they are effective. Without a CO detector you are just guessing.
Heck, I even leave my deck door open when using my range. The damn thing has two burners going and going for like 90 minutes... I figure if I have the place all closed up that would be a bad thing!
A CO detector and adequate ventilation are key.
Yes, I'm late to the party. Yes, I'm going to step on a soapbox.
I've thought about doing the same thing. Propane inside, how bad can it really be? It's damn cold out and it's nice and comfy inside. Well, about two weeks ago I found out the hard way how bad it can be. This was my wife's uncle.http://www.azcentral.com/community/m...talfire09.html
I'd love to think that we're all smarter than this, but accidents happen and they can be catastrophic. I'm not one to tell people what to do in their own home, but just weigh the good vs. the bad. Sure he had a few propane tanks inside that made it even worse, but one was all it took. Ventilation and a CO detector wouldn't have done anything. In hindsight, it was not the wisest choice to heat the trailer or cook with.
Now I'm off the soapbox.
My posts were not about leaving propane tanks in your house or leaving propane burners unattended.
Just to be clear, here.
+1 on the CO detector...
for that matter, you should have a few of them in your home, anywhere near a source of heat that could be producing CO... I have one near my gas fireplace and near my gas furnace.
As to cooking with it indoors, I have a friend who's entire house is fueled by LP, the oven, the furnace, the water heater, EVERYTHING... and the oven has not killed anyone yet... well... unless you take into consideration her cooking
You just have to take into account the things stated above, a clean burn, monitor any possible CO, and enough return air to resupply O2 to the room, and drive off the CO2.
If I remember correctly, there are even a number of LP space heaters that are now available that are indoor rated. My local hardware store sold out of those quickly last winter when the power was out for seven days.
The world is full of danger. you could get hit by a fiery meteor, you could get run over by a garbage truck, you could trip and poke out your eye with a stick, you could get a drop of honey on your pants from an english muffin and get mauled by a bear. I just ordered a turkey fryer and will use it in the garage, I will not curl up in the fetal position under a coffee table, just because I "may get hurt.' Live free and die hard.

Campaign Viral Chart: DC shoes turn San Fran viral into chart topper
By Ben Hall, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 13 July 2012 10:00AM
A viral ad produced in-house by shoe brand DC has rocketed through the chart this week with more than a million shares of "urban playground", which is set in San Francisco.
In DC's 10-minute video, stunt driver Ken Block weaves between moving trams and skids through the city. It has been watched more than three million times in the 24-hours it has been live on the web.
Last week's most shared, Abercrombie & Fitch's lip-synced "call me maybe", has fallen into third place, beaten by both Block and a flashmob for Spanish bank, Banco Som Sabadel.
Meanwhile, an ad for Greenpeace, the environmental charity and activist network, has been shared more than 16,000 times.
The ad features the voice of Jude Law, a soundtrack by Radio Head and a homeless polar bear making its way through urban scenes around the UK.
It has already inspired more than 100 blog posts, and calls for an end to oil drilling, industrial fishing and conflict in the Arctic.
BBH and Refuge's hard hitting ad in which beauty video blogger Lauren Luke provides a step-by-step guide to disguising the bruises and scars of domestic violence, enters the chart with 3,500 shares.
WIth just two weeks until the Olympic opening ceremony, the BBC's recently-revealed London 2012 coverage ad misses out on entering the chart, which has been shared just short of 3,000 times in the past seven days.
The chart, produced in conjunction with Unruly, ranks ads according to the number of times they have been shared on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere.
Ads launched more than 30-days ago are not included.
Due to technical issues with Twitter's API, shares from the social network were not included in the count.
1. DC Shoes 'Ken Block's gymkhana five' created in-house
1,001,494 shares this week
All time: 1,032,922 shares

Herrold, Sabers impacting Tiger women in first year
Dakota Wesleyan University coach Jason Christensen has a pair of "diaper dandies" on his women's basketball team.
The term made famous by ESPN's Dick Vitale refers to players who contribute on the basketball court as freshmen, and forwards Erica Herrold and Kristin Sabers fit the diaper dandy mold.

Not sure if 2 weeks of stress testing is conclusive for this kind of machinery. Capital equipment like this is heavy-duty and meant to be in constant use for years. "Outperformance" (whatever that means) over the short term may easily be offset by rapid depreciation or periodic breakdowns over the longer term, not to mention potential safety issues that may arise. Same story with Chinese high speed trains. And look where those got us...
Three cheers for China! However, I already knew this; I have been buying Chinese capital equipment and goods for five years now. I have observed the increase in quality and technological ability, but what is more striking is the price.
Even as Chinese manufactures have gotten better in quality, indistinguishable from those of other developed nations, the price has remained the same; I can buy Chinese capital goods and equipment at 1/10th to 1/4th price of their Western counterparts.
Moreover, when I go to a Western firms to try to buy, they want to know where its going, how long you will use it, why you need it, and make you wait at least 6 months for delivery (I don't like having to beg people to take my money). When I buy from the Chinese, I give them the specification, they give me a price and delivery take no longer than two months; often they have it readily available.
They don't ask questions and are responsive to your needs. In a rare pence, when the Chinese do not yet make what I need, (and that is becoming rarer and rarer) I will buy Korean.
Wonder why people seem to overlook who's paying the price?
The environment in China is a total mess, heavy smog for much of the time, PM 2.5 readings which are a nightmare for anyone who is raising children, soil, water and food polluted with heavy metals, cancer villages...
An energy inefficiency where China puts in 2 or 3 times the amount of fossil fuel to produce the same economic output, meaning 2 or 3 times the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere which will come to haunt future generations...
There's no free lunch. Someone's always got to pay the price...
So you think it would be better to avoid doing business with the Chinese, and thus delay their ascent from hunger and poverty, for the sake of protecting them from pollution?
Is that what I said?
Look, Young Weber was boasting how cheap he could buy from China. As if China was doing some kungfu magic.
So I pointed out to the fact that considerable costs have been externalized to make that possible.
The environment pays, we pay with our health and future generations will keep paying.
There's two sides to a coin. That's all I wanted to point out.
You know what matter to human health; eating everyday and access to modern medicine! And that requires industry! The nonsense about human health and pollution is Western sour grapes over the loss of their industrial base. Do you remember all those stories about Japan's "pollution crisis" in the 70s and 80s; what happened to that? Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world; you know who has the same life expectancy, a place that embraced pollution (and still has quite a bit coming over its boarder); Hong Kong. If the lack of pollution saved lives, or even impacted life expectancy, than Russian woman would not outlive Ugandan women by 14 years!

"calm down, man." Chinese still buy lots of Komatsu, Hitachi and Kobelco ( all mentioned in this TE article).
But not as many as it used to. We now buy (actually we lease, as most do in construction business) more CAT for top end and Chinese domestic brands for top and middle end earth moving work.
One serious problem we found with Japanese brands is that they don't perform as consistently as they should in high attitude, rugged terrain or extreme weather conditions, and they need "rest" often after a few hours of work. That's where CAT really excels, it keeps working regardless of attendant operating conditions, Sany and Lugong too.
Japanese brands are suitable for more urban and benign construction sites. They are generally with nicer cleaner looking by design and with more attention paid to small things in the operator's cab. They are usually good for smaller jobs particularly mini jobs.
CATs (and increasingly John Deer of smaller pieces) and their Chinese counterparts are much more suitable and reliable for tough and demanding jobs (such as dam works, infrastructural projects and natural disaster relief like the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008) than Japan's brands.
Is the difference being in the design, or they just don't make things like they used to in Japan?
China bashing is everywhere, and it does not seem to be a temporary blip. Currently it is more pronounced in our country, Myanmar. Nevertheless, we have seen people using Chinese heavy equipment in our country. People buy China made heavy equipment because their prices are alluringly cheap while KOMATSU, KOBELCO equipment and their parts are punishingly expensive. Third world countries like Myanmar should tread carefully when it comes to procurement of heavy equipment. It should be affordable and yet quality wise acceptable. In actuality, Chinese has made better equipment. As we have been in parts trading for quite a while, we have come across the good reputation of SANY, SHANTUI patched through by our end users. According to our market information, SHANTUI excavators are pretty much tougher than someone might have thought. Chinese equipment proves that they can stoically stand against the rugged terrain of Myanmar's remote area.
The Economist writes an article about the problems with science and then promotes a study by a broker which clearly as an economic interest in the outcome of its study, which needs to be repeated before it can be considered valid.
Interesting that there aren't any right wing reactionaries telling us how socialism and stimulus spending doesn't work and produces inferior products. You may want to test them for lead paint.
China has been producing some of the best equipment in construction and tested at home a million times entered foreign markets in tough competition with giants and also offered economic prices, how can it afford to take risk or chances with quality, never ever
Oh yeah, let's vote on it. Oh wait, they don't allow voting in China.
Voting is needed in user countries regarding the quality not in China where it is made and they produce products today that are envy of the world, chekthis facts beore you say something
They took risks and chances with quality for the past couple years. They have not been equivlant or greater than other brands until this year and they are still not equivlant or greater than the major United States brands.
Myth of the superior technologies of the transnational companies is being smashed daily. There maybe some leading edges but the gaps are not so large as propagated. The stupidity does not lie with Western developed economies or Emerging nations like China. It lies within the centers of many transnational companies that have failed to come to term with this info age where the transmission of info/knowledge across borders accelerate exponentially. Recipients of this knowledge embrace diversity, focus on niches to gnaw at their market share and are not peasants. Smarter transnational companies know how to breed and nurture the "wannabees" and "upstarts". They are smart enough to know that they do not owe the likes of CAT a living as they are in the same game too.
Moving up the value chain is an explicit wish/objective of the state - I think it's in the 12th Five Year Plan. This kind of scenario should lead to an innovation "arms race" amongst the Americans, Europeans, North East Asians and China, of course. Should be interesting.
suspicious that the article makes no mention of the safety regulations at the fabrication facilities - having worked in supply chain for a canadian mining firm, we had little doubt about the quality of the replacement tires produced by Chinese manufacturers but sincere issues with becoming complicit in such hazardous working conditions (during a walkthrough, we noticed many workers were wearing sandals!)
To hang so much hope in one study by a broker of heavy equipment, seems foolish. We need to see actual field results and field data. More independent studies and perhaps a few of the Chinese machines operating outside their home turf before we can make such bold claims.
Diggers or bulldozers, though having a more intimidating look than a car, have relatively less sophisticated operating demands thus less complex systems than a car. So it makes sense that..
Yesterday was December 28th, when people in many countries celebrate an equivalent of April Fools Day by making pranks and outrageous assertions. I will assume you live in one of those countries.
Article definetly should go deeper. Anyhow, the indicated tendency is true, particularly with specific chinese private companies. Years ago we were afraid of japaneses products, then korean, today it's chinese, but we all have our homes full of chinese electronics and appilances...
We are a large construction company, with extensive experience as operators of SANY construction equipment in South America. As indicated, in 24x7 heavy production conditions, including high altitude (up to 4,700 mt over sea level) SANY is as productive as CAT, availability (indirect measurement of quality)also equals CAT and surprisingly consuming significantly less diesel than CAT. Life of wearing parts is top standard too.
To us, no doubt at all regarding excellent quality of SANY's construction equipment and telescopic cranes.
Take this with a huge heaping pinch of salt. CLSA is owned by a Chinese investment bank, and I hardly think that a 'broker' is competent to evaluate something so far away from its core expertise, despite all its claims to be 'research' driven.
In this article that is supposed to be about construction machinery, the Author's total omission of Komatsu in the article undermines its crediblity.
If an Economist author writes an article about global car industry without mentioning Toyota, he (or she) would not be writing for the Economist again. Omission of Komatsu in construction machinery is as grave a sin.
Both Komatsu and Kobeco are mentioned in the printed edition. And Hitachi and Doosan as well
The online article is not the entire article.
calm down...man...I still think Japanese heavy industry is world class.
TE's sino cheering section in full swing. Press release masquerading as journalism.
Two weeks of testing heavy construction equipment is not enough to compare reliability and durability of the machines. Talk to a customer after 3 years and see if they think quality (and resale value) is comparable.
Second, the Chinese reverse engineered many of the international brands intellectual property.
Third, is the source of the study CLSA in any way interested in promoting shares of public Chinese companies who have experienced exploding receivables?
In summation, CLSAs conclusion that Chinese heavy machinery is comparable does not convince me.
While it may well be the case that what you say is correct, you sound like you are jumping to conclusions a little bit, especially since you offer no contrasting evidence.
Especially when you consider how many foreign firms in these sorts of industries employ Chinese engineers in their design process, it is not inconceivable that a Chinese firm that is very diligent about securing strong engineering talent within the country may produce products of similar quality.
While I cannot say for sure whether that has happened, it is certainly feasible, and so I would not write off a study that suggests that it has, at least not without seeing some reason to question it.
torts of intellectual property happened, happens and will happen everywhere on planet earth...I am not saying it's right to infringe on patents...but look what America has done in 1800s, it voilated many European patents like looms... innovation starts from emulating. patents cannot block innovation...but on the other hand if I own many patents, I certainly don't want anybody to voilate my rights...XD

Gerry McGovern | July 5, 2001 | Comments
Words are back, and we've all got them. The Text Generation is all around us. Billions of text messages are being sent over mobile phones and in online chats. Young people took to words and created a new craze. How could words become so cool?
People are writing and reading more than they ever have before. We are witnessing a second "text revolution," with the power of the word again dominating our culture and economy, from Web sites to mobile phones.
Because so many words are written every day, it is easy to forget their potential power. I'm reading a book at the moment in which Bill Gates' conversion to the Internet is discussed. It is generally accepted that Gates got the importance of the Internet in 1995, then wrote what would become known as "The Memo." This eight-page document set out a new strategy for Microsoft. Everyone that mattered in Microsoft read it and made sure they got it. Eight pages turned a supertanker around.
The Text Generation is all around us. Billions of text messages are being sent over mobile phones. Nobody predicted it; it just happened. Young people took to words and created a new fashion and craze. How could words become so cool?
Words are cool because they are intensely human. In so many areas, computers are doing what people do in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Numbers have long been better manipulated by calculators. Anything that is logical, that has a process that can be automated, is being automated.
Words, on the other hand, are still more an art than a science. A quality sentence is always a challenge. Twenty people see the same event, and they will all write different versions of what happened. Our sentences and paragraphs will be the last thing to be truly automated, which means that they will be an area in which humans will and must continue to excel.
The irony is that for most of the 20th century, technology greatly diminished the power of words. It was only with the emergence of the Internet and text messaging on mobile phones that words have surged forward again as the principal way we communicate.
Humans are essentially sensory. For millions of years, we lived with our eyes, our noses, our ears. Our ears did not hear language; rather, we heard sounds. Language is only a recent invention in human evolution. Written language is even more recent. The majority of people, given the choice, would prefer the sensory over the written. This is why television triumphed. And why film stars are the new royalty.
While bandwidth constraints remain, the Internet returns us to an almost pretelevision world in which text rides high. The Internet and the mobile phone are in many ways primitive tools. Certainly measured against the high-bandwidth delivery of television, video, and film, they are hugely restrictive. That's why words work so well online. You see, words are in themselves compression techniques for communication. They are compressed even more by teenagers who squeeze the maximum communication out of the minimum number of letters.
We have found ourselves, if only temporarily, in a low-bandwidth world with new opportunities to communicate. Those of us who wish to succeed need to become better with words. We need to be able to write better so that our words have more of a chance to rise above the massive traffic jam of words that the world has become.
We are living through a Text Revolution. In such a revolution, it is worth keeping Benjamin Franklin's words in mind: "Give me 26 lead soldiers, and I will conquer the world."

What camera did you end up getting for her? I got my daughter an inexpensive camera for her trip to Bermuda and it's HORRIBLE> I want to break it into itty bitty pieces! :)
She took great pictures, and it looks like they had an amazing time!
The trip and her photos could explain her desire to be a missionary. What a sweetheart.

In August 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder reopened criminal investigations into CIA interrogations -- four years after the Department of Justice, which had investigated instances of possible abuse, chose not to prosecute most cases. (The probe had resulted in a successful prosecution and disciplinary actions against some individuals.)
After the White House announced that bin Laden was dead, National Security Adviser John Brennan saluted Obama for one of the "gutsiest" political moves ever. On "60 Minutes," Obama said he could not praise intelligence officials enough. If the president wants to be truly gutsy, he should tell Holder to take his heavy-handed re-investigation and shove it.

Microeconomic theory has developed around the analysis of Adam Smiths invisible hand con-jecture. It looks at the economy as a series of interlocked markets for consumer goods, factors of production, and intermediate goods, and establishes conditions when these markets work well, less well, or not at all. Most of the course is devoted to modeling the behavior of market actors - con؛sum؛ers and produ؛cers. In the process, basic tools and concepts used in the other areas of economics are developed. Many of the topics covered in Introductory Microeconomics Econ 101 are studied more rigorously and at greater depth. New topics, such as behavior under risk, insurance, and im-perfect information, are introduced.
Prerequisites: 2 semesters of college calculus or equivalent.
1. Classes: Stokes 10, Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30 a.m. 1:00 p.m.
2. Instructor: Vladimir Kontorovich, Stokes 203c, tel. 1074, e-mail: VKONTORO.
3. Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 1:00 - 2:00 p. m. or by appointment. Please feel free to send me e-mails at any time. You may also call me at home (609-371-4826). Tell me the number you are calling from and hang up; I will call you right back.
Course Requirements
1. Classes. I present a somewhat different approach to the material than that in the textbook. Stu-dents are responsi؛ble for the material taught in class, for the assigned portions of the textbook, and for additional assigned readings. Regular attend؛ance is expected.
2. Readings:
Nicholson, W., Microeconomic Theory:Basic Principles and Extensions. 9th Edition. The Dryden Press, 2005. (available from the college bookstore)
Workbook for Nicholson contains additional problems with answers. (available from the col-lege bookstore)
Selected Classics: articles available on line (JSTOR, or Blackboard, or web address provided in the syllabus). Articles will be discussed in class.
Recommended for refreshing mathematics and for reference: Chiang, A., Fundamental Methods of Mathemati؛cal Economics. Third Edition. McGraw-Hill, 1984. If you need it, it can probably be bought cheaply over the Internet. There are many other books in this genre (mathemat-ics for economists).
Course Outline indicates the dates by which readings are due. Com؛plet؛ing your reading on time will allow you to gain more from the class, and to partici؛pate in class discussion.
3. Problem sets will be assigned and collected every week. They will not be graded but check؛ed so as to monitor your progress. Answer sheets will be distributed. Problem sets prepare you for the exams!
Grade composition
Two take-home mid-term exams (30% of the final grade each):
- on Choice and Demand (Chapters 3-6) E-mailed to you 10/12, due 10/24
- on Production and Supply (Chapters 7-9) E-mailed to you 11/16, due 11/21
(Dates are approximate and depend on the speed with which we progress.)
Final take-home exam: exam week in December (40% of the final grade).
How to learn even more microeconomics
At the end of each chapter, Nicholson supplies Extensions. These show interesting applications of the theories explained in the body of the chapter, or alternative approaches to modeling economic behavior. If you want to know what economics does, dont limit yourself to the main text.
How to prepare for the tests
Exams stress problem solving.
- follow examples in text with pen and paper, you should be able to reproduce them;
- complete homework assignments and review answer sheets;
- solve problems in Nicholson's Workbook (it supplies answers);
- solve odd-numbered problems in the end of the chapters in Nicholson's textbook (answers in the back of the book).
- learn the definitions of the main concepts precisely;
- attend review sessions (scheduled on demand);
- see me in my office with any and all problems you might have.
Dates are approximate and depend on the speed with which we progress

It is a bit hard, because it summarizes a great number of the most recent findings in economics, psychology, and other disciplines. But for the curious and the ambitious, it pays to try reading what-ever parts seem to make sense, skipping the ones which you do not understand.

Lovely, unique 1853 home just north of downtown Sacramento in the quiet Alkali Flat residential neighborhood. Only 6 blocks from the State Capitol we are within walking distance to many restaurants, theaters and other attractions like the Crocker Art Museum, Railroad Museum, Old Sacramento, Sacramento Convention Center, and more. Walk to the exciting Midtown area and get a bicycle taxi back.
Our reasonable rates and a lenient refund policy make it convenient to book and guarantee your stay. We look like a B&B but are a vacation rental that rents from overnight stays to up to 45 days.
Leave the car behind! Sacramento Airport (SMF) is 22 miles away and a typical shuttle is $35 each way, groups are less. There's a zip car station three blocks away and bicycle rentals within six blocks. If you bring your car, off-street parking here is free and there is room for an RV or trailer.
So, what is the difference between the J. Neely Johnson House and the Bidwell Mansion, Stanford Mansion and the Governor's Mansion? You can't stay at any of those others! And sadly, due to state budget woes, you may not even be able to visit them in the near future. Today you can stay at this beautiful home for as little as $99 per night.*
Check out our features and amenities. For business or pleasure, we've got everything you need while you are in Sacramento.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the J. Neely Johnson House is Sacramento's oldest surviving residence having once been the home to several Early California elected officials; the fourth Governor, a State Treasurer and Supreme Court Justice. Restored as it may have been in the late 1890s, we are delighted to share with you a bit of 19th Century Sacramento.
All proceeds from your visits help further the restoration and maintenance of this landmark property. Currently, there are no ADA accommodations; we are planning for access in the near future. All work accomplished in the restoration and rehabilitation is in accordance with or allowed by state and local codes as well as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards for Historic Preservation. This project is a previous grant recipient from the State of California Office of Historic Preservation. All current work is privately funded.
Bookings beginning July 1, 2015: contact Owner to determine availability for short stays within 28 days of your request. There will be times the home is closed for construction.
*45 days extended stay.
Retired Architect who worked on preservation and reconstruction of State historical buildings.
Dan Hood purchased this townhome in 1979
Sacramento is a just-right size town with a tremendous mix of people. This property is an extension of my interest and love of period architecture.
The home is a great place for entertaining friends and when not entertaining, fixing something!
We had a wedding in town and family members that we rarely get to see coming. The house gave us a chance to be all together on our crazy schedule. We loved the house and the history. Dan was a wonderful host and everything was so easy. We love the history and the beautiful furnishings. the house was also beautifully decorated for the holidays and very impressive. When we are visiting in Sacramento it will be our first place to check.
We had a volleyball tournament in town. The house had 3 bedrooms, which was perfect for our team to stay together. The house was beautiful, clean, and had the antique feeling to it. We wished we got to stay longer. The location was also great. It was walking distance to restaurants and even the capitol building. If I visit Sacramento again, this is the place I will be staying.
This is my second stay here, and hopefully not my last. Love the house. The owner, Dan, is extremely helpful and friendly.
The home is absolutely unbelievable. It was like stepping back in time, except with a sleep number bed. The antique decor was incredible; this is a must-stay for any history buff. The homeowner welcomed our group and encouraged us to "live" in the home while we were there ("this is not a museum"). We had 6 people and it was very comfortable for all of us. Easy walking distance from everything, and a lovely park right beside. I would consider another trip to Sacramento JUST to stay in this house.
Steep stairs might not be suitable for all.
My first thought when stumbling upon this vrbo listing was... Wow! I reeeeally hope the dates we are looking for is free... Whaaa-La! They were available and the place was ours for the weekend!! Score. I traveled down to Sacramento to watch WFTDA *Women's Flat Track Derby Association* Division 1 Playoffs with 5 other women from my roller derby league, Terminal City Rollergirls. Not only, did we get to see the highest level of roller derby that is out there today (ei: Gothem Girls Roller Derby from New York), we got to cheer on our All-Stars from Vancouver. I loved being able to walk 10mins from this gorgeous house to the venue, Memorial Auditorium. Which is another amazing structured building, which you see a lot of in Old Sac *ha ha <every time. We played with the old record player and shared some laughs around the table. The sleep was great and coffee on the patio in the morning was just beauty. Dan the home owner was absolutely great and fun to talk with. He was happy to host us and got to learn a little bit about derby along with his wife and neighbor. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend with so many wonderful people. Even the street folk beside the house, passed out on the ground, or hanging out all day aside there. They are lovely people! If you are doing your search for a place in Sacramento, I do hope this one is available for ya.
Thank you Dan and Sue!!
Nous sommes allé dans cette maison pour 4 nuits en août dernier.
Mon mari et moi, ainsi que nos trois adolescentes avons tout simplement adoré!
La maison ressemble à un décor de cinéma où on nous ramène au début du siècle, voir fin 1800.
La maison est vraiment immense et alors que notre voyage de deux semaines en Californie nous obligeait déjà depuis un petit moment à se piler un peu sur les pieds, cette maison nous a apporté un espace qui fut grandement apprécié.
Deux salles de bain, 3 grandes chambres à coucher, une immense salle à dîner, une cuisine ultra équipé, une salle de repos avec piano à queue, 2 grands balcons qui donnent sur une rue hyper tranquille à deux pas du centre-ville de Sacramento!
Difficile de trouver quelque chose à redire...
En plus, pour avoir loué plusieurs maisons par le passé, celle-ci est TOUTE équipée!
Rien ne manque. Un frigo et des armoires bien garnis avec les éléments de base, des articles de toilette à profusion... Tout est la!
En plus, le propriétaire est vraiment sympathique. Relax et simple ce qui nous a donné l'impression d'être presque chez un ami qui nous aurait prêté sa maison.
Mes enfants qui ne jouent pas de piano s'y sont toutes mises... On a pu aussi profiter du gramophone qui fonctionne toujours ce qui a impressionné toute la famille.
Franchement, on y retournerait.
Seul bémol, le Spa extérieur n'était pas terminé mais choses certaine, il sera vraiment magnifique lorsque les travaux seront complétés.
