Nissan 240sx
This is JXN's black Nissan240sx coupe.
I think its one of my best drifting shots. I love how sharp the car is but I maintained a good shutter speed for panning. Theres also a little feel of danger since I am right in front of an oncoming car thats slideing. There was no barrier in front of me like at professional drift events. I drift with Jackson alot though, and trust him and my judgement of where a drift car is going.
If you view the larger size you can see the drivers face perfectly too!!
Weird, just got forwarded this, Its this picture on some random websites new thing??

Marinating a beautiful line caught filet of salmon (tequila, fresh lime juice, olive oil, pinch of garlic salt.) and will grill it in an hour or so. Served with it will be a steamed artichoke with aioli mixed with a bit of smoked paprika for a little kick. I steam the artichoke in water and some vinegar and garlic. Of course a nice sweet baguette. No shortage of good bread here in the Bay Area. But first, I will make a nice simple margarita.

Being bullied can feel awful. There are some important things you should do if you are being bullied.
You're not on your own. There is always someone who can help. Bullying will probably keep happening unless you tell someone about it.
If things don't get better after you've told someone, tell them again or tell a different person.
If bullying is happening on your phone or the internet, keep messages and posts that hurt you or write down what happened and show an adult.
It might take a while for new things to start working so don't give up if things don't get better right away. There are some important things you should do if you are being bullied:

An approach for the multiple-frequency millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals generation is proposed and demonstrated, specifically, which can be applied to a radio-over-fiber (RoF) system with multiple base stations (BSs). In this scheme, optical double sideband (ODSB) modulation is achieved using a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) to generate the two-sideband signals. New frequencies of the optical signals are obtained by using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). At the BSs, two different frequencies are achieved using a comb optical filter (COF), and which then input a photodiode (PD) to generate the mm-wave signals with the frequencies of 20, 40 or 60 GHz for different BSs, by mixing of these frequencies components. Experimental results verify that the proposed multiple-frequency mm-wave signals generation scheme for a RoF system with multiple base stations can work properly.
1. Introduction
With the broadband penetration and the ongoing growth of data traffic among residential and business customers, the ultimate bottleneck to the end user terminals is contributed by the last mile wired and wireless access systems with limited bandwidth capacity. In order to avoid such a bottleneck, and to exploit the potential of both wired and wireless technologies, researchers, carriers and service providers are all actively seeking a converged network architecture to deliver various services for both fixed and mobile users. Therefore, radio-over-fiber (RoF) technology has been considered a potential candidate for supporting future broadband access networks [1]. It has the advantages of low loss, wide-band, light weight and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to optical fibers [1,2]. To provide broad-band services in a RoF system, radio frequency (RF) signals and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals are distributed over optical fibers from central station (CS) to base station (BS). However, as in the RF and mm-wave frequency range, fiber chromatic dispersion [3], complexity and cost of equipments become several limiting factors [4,5]. It is strongly required that the high-quality and high-efficiency RF and mm-wave sources are realized by optical approaches, especially 60 GHz mm-wave signals which have recently gained much attention for their huge bandwidth over 7 GHz unlicensed mm-wave band. And the advantages of 60 GHz signals include the spectral availability to achieve multi-gigabit data rate, high efficiency and low power consumption [2,6–9]. Several approaches for mm-wave frequency generation have been proposed in the last few years for the RoF system, including optical mixing methods that employ cross-gain modulation (XGM) [10], cross-phase modulation (XPM) [7,11], and four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) [12], all-optical frequency conversion methods using an electro-optic phase modulator and nonlinear method that employ stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) [13]. On the other hand, it is highly desired that these mm-wave signals can be processed directly in the optical domain without additional optical to electrical and electrical to optical conversion. In addition, the multiple-frequency mm-wave signals generation for the RoF system with multiple BSs is seldom reported, although it is considered very worthwhile for further studies.
To exploit such a bandwidth advantage of 60 GHz mm-wave by optical approaches, in this paper, we present a novel method by using FWM in an SOA at the CS and filtering out signal components at different remote sites to generate a particular RF signal by mixing of these signal components in the photodiode (PD). The new RoF system with multiple BSs is employed by SOA, Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and tunable optical filter (TOF). Our method has many distinct advantages, such as low power consumption, flexible modulation, and supporting multiple BSs.
2. Operational principle of the proposed approach
The RoF system with multiple BSs of the proposed multiple-frequency mm-wave signals generation is shown in Fig. 1 . The CS of the proposed multiple-frequency mm-wave generation method for the RoF system with multiple stations is shown in the upper portion of Fig. 1. The laser with the frequency of f via a polarization controller (PC) is modulated using an MZM through radio frequency (RF) with the frequency of f ' to perform optical double sideband (ODSB) modulation (Mod.), and the two sidebands are f 1 and f 2 respectively. The ODSB signals are separated into two branches using an optical splitter (OS 50:50), and the frequencies f 1 and f 2 of the ODSB are then filtered out using the fiber Bragg-based TOF 11 and TOF 12 respectively. The date is modulated on the sideband with frequency of f 1 using another MZM. The modulated signal with the frequency of f 1 is coupled using the optical coupler (OC 50:50) with the sideband with the frequency of f 2 to optical fiber channel consisted of transmission fiber and erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier (EDFA). After a variable optical attenuator (VOA) the power of the input signals can be properly adjusted. The signals with the frequencies f 1 and f 2 input a SOA after a PC. In the SOA, new frequencies f 3 and f 4 are generated by four-wave mixing (FWM). All optical signals with the frequencies f 1, f 2, f 3 and f 4 are then distributed to multiple BSs.
Fig. 1
The multiple BSs of the proposed multiple-frequency mm-wave generation method for the RoF system are shown in the lower portion of Fig. 1. The signals from the CS are divided into different branches for every BS using an OS, different frequencies of the signals are separated by a de-multiplexer at the BS. At each BS, two of three frequency components inputted are chosen and sent into a PD to generate a particular mm-wave signal by mixing of these frequency components. In this scheme, there are 4 different frequencies of f 1, f 2, f 3 and f 4, we obtain 6 groups of two frequencies combination, such as [ f 1, f 2 ], [ f 1, f 3 ], [ f 1, f 4 ], [ f 2, f 3 ], [ f 2, f 4 ], and [ f 3, f 4 ]. Assume that the RF frequency would be used repeatedly, this scheme with 4 frequencies can support 6 BSs (case 1); if every RF frequency is only used once, this scheme with 4 frequencies can only support 3 BSs (case 2). The generated mm-wave signal then inputs an antenna to transmit. For example, at the 1st BS, the frequencies of f 1, f 2 and f 4 are split out, and the frequencies of f 1 and f 4 input a PD to obtain the mm-wave with the frequency of f 4- f 1, this mm-wave signal is amplified through an electric amplifier (EA) and emitted via an antenna. At the receiving side, the data from the receiving antenna is modulated on the frequency of f 2 using an MZM and transmitted back to the CS. For another BS, any three frequencies of the signals can be filtered out using a splitter (de-multiplexer), two of these can also be used to generate the corresponding mm-wave signal, and the data from the antenna is modulated on another new frequency by RF with the frequency of f ', such as the 2nd,…, j th. Note that j is 6 and 3 for case 1 and 2 respectively in this scheme with 4 frequencies.
3. Experimental setup, results and discussion
3.1 Experimental setup
To verify that the proposed scheme for the multiple-frequency mm-wave generation can work properly, the experimental setup for three frequencies mm-wave generation is shown in Fig. 2 . The ODSB modulation is achieved using an MZM through a RF modulation with the frequency of f ', the 3 dB bandwidth (BW) of the MZM is 20 GHz, Vpi = 5 V, the insertion loss of the MZM α IL = 6 dB, and the local oscillator with the frequency of 10 GHz and the electrical power of 22 dBm are applied. The two frequencies of the ODSB signals are filtered out using the TOF 21 and TOF 22, the data is modulated on the one sideband, the modulated signals and the other sideband signals are coupled into the optical fiber channel. After an EDFA, these signals via a VOA and PC then input a SOA (CIP SOA-S-OEC), where they generate four different frequencies through the FWM effect. These signals are distributed to the BSs, any two frequencies of the one branch can be obtained using a comb optical filter (COF 1) (or a WDM de-multiplexer), and the mm-wave signal is then generated using the PD 1. Similarly, another two frequencies of the other branches can also be obtained using the COF, such as the COF 2 and 3, and the other mm-wave signals are also achieved using the PD 2 and 3 respectively.
Fig. 2
3.2 Results and discussion
The wavelength of the laser is set at 1552.52 nm, the average power is 1 mW, and the linewidth of the LD is 10 MHz. The optical spectra measured after an MZM are shown in Fig. 3 , we can see that (1) the central wavelength of 1552.52 nm is clearly suppressed; (2) the first pair of the sidebands signals is with high optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and the frequency interval between the sidebands is 20 GHz; (3) the second pair of the sidebands signals are with very low OSNR. These results indicate that the ODSB signals have been obtained using the MZM and RF with the frequency f ' of 10 GHz.
Fig. 3
The spectra of the modulated and un-modulated signals before the SOA have been measured successfully, as shown in Fig. 4 . It can be clearly found that (1) the spacing between the modulated and un-modulated signal is just 20 GHz; (2) the powers of the modulated and the un-modulated signals are about −16 dBm and −7 dBm respectively.
Fig. 4
The SOA is biased at 220 mA and can provide small signal gain of about 13 dB, and the power of the input signal is set 4 dBm. The signals after the fiber channel, an EDFA with a gain of about 15 dB and a VOA, the optical spectra of the FWM in the SOA have been measured, as shown in Fig. 5 . It can be seen that four wavelengths have been successfully generated through the FWM effect between the two input signals. The modulated and un-modulated signals have been indicated in Fig. 5, and a high OSNR has been achieved.
Fig. 5
Figures 6 –8 show the measured electrical spectra after the PDs, where the mm-wave signals of 60, 40 and 20 GHz have been shown in Fig. 6, 7 and 8 respectively. Any two frequencies of the signals were split at one BS, and input a PD to generate the mm-wave signal through frequency beating effect. As demonstrated in Fig. 2, the frequencies of f 1 and f 4 were split at the 1st BS, the mm-wave signal with the frequency f 4- f 1 = 4f ' has been achieved, that is to say, it was obtained that the mm-wave signal with the frequency of 60 GHz, as shown in Fig. 6. Similarly, another mm-wave signal with the frequency of 40 GHz has been obtained at another BS. Moreover, we can see that the mm-wave signal with frequency of 40 GHz is very high, as shown in Fig. 7. The mm-wave signal with the frequency of 20 GHz has been obtained at the BS, and we can also see that the mm-wave signal with frequency of 20 GHz is very good, as shown in Fig. 8. And these multiple-frequency mm-wave signals can be applied to different BSs.
Fig. 6
Fig. 8
Fig. 7
The bit error rate (BER) and eye diagrams performances of the RoF system with the proposed multiple-frequency mm-wave signals generation have been measured for different transmission optical fiber distances (TOFD) of 20, 30, 40 and 50 km, as shown in Fig. 9 . When the data of 2.5 Gb/s was considered, we can see that the performances (BER = 10-8) have been obtained for the TOFD of 20, 30, 40 and 50 km with the receiving powers are −21.8, −20.4, −19.7 and −18.5 dBm respectively, and the corresponding eye diagrams at the receiving optical power of −21 dBm for different TOFD of 20, 30 and 40 km are shown in Fig. 9(a)–9(c). It is noted that the BER performance of the proposed method degrades with the increasing of the TOFD. For example, at a BER of 10-8, the performance has a penalty of about 0.7 dB between 20 km and 30, even about 3.3 dB between 20 km and 50 km, which is induced by the high-order chromatic dispersion of the fiber.

4. Conclusion
The multiple-frequency mm-wave signals generation method has been demonstrated successfully, and the RoF system architecture with the multiple-frequency mm-wave signals has been proposed. By using an MZM, an ODSB signal has been generated using a low-frequency RF driving signal. Different sideband signals were filtered out using the TOFs, and data was then modulated on one of the sideband signals. The signals via the fiber channel then input the SOA to generate new frequencies components through the FWM effect. At any BS, two frequencies of the signals were split using the COF to generate beating frequency in the PD, in order to obtain the mm-wave signals. The mm-wave signals with the frequencies of 20, 40 and 60 GHz have been generated for different BSs in this work, and the BER and eye diagrams of the modulated signals at 2.5 Gb/s have been demonstrated. It was concluded that the system performance degradation is induced by the high-order chromatic dispersion of the fiber. And the multiple-frequency mm-wave signals using the proposed method can be applied to the RoF system with multiple BSs to improve the capacity of the RoF system.

Stock-market volatility is likely to be around for a while. That's why Ben Fischer, managing director and portfolio manager at Allianz Global Investors, believes "you have to grit your teeth and realize that fundamentals don't favor a collapse; they favor stability over the long term." Thus, he recommends that investors not try to time the market, but instead wait it out by sticking to an allocation of high-quality, dividend-paying stocks that have the ability to raise payouts over time.
Meanwhile, though, with a fiscal-cliff resolution still elusive, many companies are rushing to accelerate payouts and distribute special dividends by Dec. 31 to potentially help investors save on taxes. Thomson Reuters corporate-earnings research analyst Greg Harrison thinks that could be problematic. In a Dec. 11 report, he observes that the majority of special-dividend issuers will have to borrow to make those payouts. In some cases, that could fundamentally alter capital structure and perhaps lead to more risk and lower creditworthiness. So be watchful.
Special dividends were at a 33-year high through Dec. 12, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Extras through the first eight trading days of December posted a 136% jump over the number declared in all of December 2011 (335 versus 142).
The beat goes on. Limited Brands (ticker: LTD), which over the past roughly two and a half years has distributed $8 a share via five bonus dividends, declared another one last Monday, in the amount of $3 and worth $865.2 million in total. It will be paid Dec. 26, and the ex-dividend date is Dec. 18.
The company, whose brands include Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Henri Bendel, among others, sweetened its regular quarterly dividend by 25% in January (as reported in this space), to 25 cents a share, for a current yield of 2%. Payouts have been ongoing since 1970. Traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the shares set a 52-week high of $52.50 on Dec. 3.
Oliver Chen, an analyst at Citi Investment Research, forecast a bonus dividend earlier this month in a client note, citing Limited's strong sales results since August and its impressive capital structure. He rates the stock Buy, with a $60 price target.

Item as described. Fast shipping.
I love antique maps and vintage paper. I was a collector before I was a seller. Please enjoy as I do!
I started Etsy when I was graduate student. I quit a decent job in the business world to study Theology full-time. I finished my MA in Theological Studies in 2010. Now, I am the pastor of Marquette Missionary Church and am using Etsy to help me pay back student loans! My wife and I also foster three brothers.
Timothy Adam, the brains behind www.handmadeology.com and Etsy shop owner timothyadamdesigns.etsy.com is good buddy of mine from college. He introduced me to Etsy. It was exciting for me to hear how his business took off. Eventually he quit his job to pursue his art full time.
Winters in the Midwest are cold. November 2008 I didn't have money to pay the gas bill. I decided I had two options. I could liquidate some of my stuff or I could get real cold real fast. I have always picked up old books that had neat maps in them for my own personal enjoyment. I have some framed in my apartment. So I decided to sell some of my old maps. Things have progressed and so far the heat has stayed on!
My wife has also opened a shop selling light switch plates. Check out her work creativeordinary.etsy.com
Shop policies
Selling vintage prints posed a bit of an ethical dilemma for me. For as much as I love old prints, I love old books. However, many of the books I find are unloved. I save them from flea markets and antique stores where they are left to rot or even be thrown away to make room for more popular items. By framing these prints, you will enjoy the the print more than it was ever enjoyed inside the book, only seen a few times!
Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy gift cards
Please let me know if you need you item rushed so I can get it out ASAP. Contact me before if you need it sent Priority.
I ship First Class USPS for all orders. Recent increases to postage on international orders has made it quite costly and shipping delays on top of that have caused me to no longer offer international shipping, including to Canada.
I ship several times a week and try to get all orders out in 2-3 business days. You will know when your order is shipped because I will mark your order as shipped.

Also, I don't reveal my sources as many other shops have popped up since I have been selling on Etsy who sell nearly the same images.

Many of Disney's friends gave up on him. Even his family began to think he was crazy.
To read that Walt Disney went through a very similar period in his life to what I'm currently going through was like giving me a light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel. It made me hope. And when a book can do that, you know it is something special, man. Walt Disney truly was an American original; more than that, though he was a person who inspired dreams, goodness, and optimism even in the face of terrible adversity.
Author Bob Thomas nicely builds his life from his ancestral French relatives and how they came to settle in Small Town U.S.A. Giving a sturdy view of his grandparents and parents lives, we come to understand the lifestyle and times in which Walt was born under so we better appreciate his influences. I particularly found it interesting how Walt himself can recall his own childhood with such vividness from the smells, sights and events that went on around him. Seems such a curious child but always with a hopeful attitude.
Once he began working in the animation studio with Ub Iwerks, his longtime friend and extremely gifted animator as well, we can see Walt's career unfolding. The small nuances of the transitions between the Alice comedies and Oswald and Mickey always seemed vague to me, however, this book discussed those moments which became clearer. How Roy came aboard to help Walt is also better understood from this book.
When Walt finally broke ground with Steamboat Willie and Mickey Mouse became a household name, Bob Thomas began already looking towards the theme park as Disney's ultimatum in life. As Walt began preparing the actual construction for the theme park, the author leads us to believe that everything that pre-dated the idea was all for a theme park. From this he began to neglect the animation department and the films themselves.Read more ›
Tracing his life from birth to his first interests in cartooning, to Laugh-O-Grams, to Mickey Mouse and beyond, this book got inside the personality of Walt himself. It really gave me a sense of what kind of man he was: Hard working, loving, focused, motivated, and always willing to look ahead to tomorrow. You'll look at the Disney empire in a totally different way and feel like you know what Walt would and would not have done with the business had he lived on.
If you want to take a trip back to a time when the name Disney meant quality family entertainment and a vision for a better tomorrow or if you just want a well written biography of a man that helped to change the world, look no further than this book.
Bob Thomas offers a touching tribute to the man who did so much to bring joy to others and change people's way of thinking. Thomas, who over the years conducted several interviews with Walt, wrote this book from a reporter's point of view, but with respect to the legacy of Walt Disney.
Walt was known as a champion risk-taker and never stopped thinking of what the future held. From his earliest days in Marceline, Missouri, Walt possessed the ability to get what he wanted from the people around him, and the ability to continue when life hit him hard.
Most know and remember Walt Disney as the creator of Mickey Mouse and Disneyland, but few realize just how hard it was for him to reach the top. Walt overcame many battles, and Thomas illustrates that in detail by including excerpts from interviews and material from the Disney Archives. Walt had to face a rough childhood, bankruptcy, disloyal employees, stolen characters, numerous creditors and countless skeptics before he encountered success. He always found a way to make things work, though, and brought joy to millions of people in doing so.
By reading this book, you are able to share in Walt's triumphs and losses and feel as though you have lost a great friend when it goes into his battle with lung cancer and untimely death at age 65. Upon Walt's death, the world mourned, but his legacy continues to live and will continue to touch the lives of children, young and old, for generations to come.Read more ›

This hostel is choked with smoke. The first floor is for smoking, all of it goes upstairs to where the bedrooms are. While you are not technically allowed to smoke in the bedrooms, they are full of smoke. This is a GREAT place for smokers, but for those of us who like fresh air and non-stinky hair and clothes, it is awful. I paid for two nights but left the first morning (double paying for accommodations). If their description had said it was a smoking hostel, I would not have booked.

Concert sends a message
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 1, 2003 at 12:47 a.m.
In his simple black shirt and jeans, tousled hair and easygoing manner, Jeff Deyo comes across as just an average guy instead of a Christian rock singer. But the 33-year-old is a man on a mission to deliver the gospel in a way that gets all people, but especially youths, to understand that God loves them.
The founder and creator of the Christian rock group Sonic Flood, the California native said he moved to Nashville, Tenn., to combine his three loves: God, people and music.
"I thought that if I could be a big enough rock star, I could win people to Christ if I could just make God look good," he said, laughing and downing a Gatorade drink following his appearance on the stage at Hendersonville High School's Dietz Field. "But Jesus doesn't need our help to look good. All we can really do is point to him, and Jesus does the rest."
Deyo, along with other Christian artists such as Nicole C. Mullen, KJ-52, Monday Morning and Skillet, were in town Sunday for the Core, a Christian concert featured every year during the N.C. Apple Festival.
The festival is just one stop on a 100- to 150-show concert tour Deyo said he and his band will do this year. The Core concert is a great event for the area, he added.
"To see a city like this just stop and come together like this, it's just great," Deyo said. "For me, I think it's all about the message behind the music. I think God created all music, he doesn't have a favorite style. He's mainly concerned about the heart behind the music."
Singing "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, I want to see you," to the heavy metal rhythm of guitars, keyboards and a pulse-pounding drum beat, Deyo got his message across and then some as hundreds of people, mostly teenagers, lined an orange barricade a few feet from the stage to clap their hands and sing along to songs they have well memorized, much like a scene from any other concert. But few rock concerts feature bands that interrupt their song sets with prayers and ask their audience if they know Jesus.
It's precisely for that reason that David Hall, a youth minister at French Broad Baptist Church, was in the audience waving his arms with six young people he brought from his church to the concert.
"These guys could be with a major record label singing secular music, making tons of money, but they choose to do this instead," he shouted over the loud rock and roll beat. "I think all music is a gift of God. It's all in how you use it and this blesses so many people, especially young people."
Eleven-year-old Amanda Stacey and her mother, Jennifer, traveled several hours from Kings Mountain to enjoy the concert. Stacey primarily came to see Nicole C. Mullen, a favorite Christian artist.
"I like her because she's cool," Stacey said.
Stacey's mother said she has no qualms about letting her daughter attend events like the Core. She agreed with Hall that if bands can turn Christian music into pop and rock so the kids can be interested in it, more power to them.
"If it gets people to listen and the words and their meaning get across to them, it shouldn't matter what form it takes," Jennifer said. "These bands have a message that God's there for you. No matter what situation you're in, he'll see you through."

Performance of spectrum sensing for cognitive radio based on field measurements of various radio technologies

Despite its practical performance limitations, energy detection has gained popularity during the last years as a spectrum sensing technique for dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks. The main advantages of energy detectionbased spectrum sensing are its simplicity, low computational and implementation costs as well as its ability to work irrespective of the actual signal to be detected. Since no prior knowledge is required, energy detection can be employed when the secondary receiver cannot gather sufficient information about the primary user signal. Due to the generality of its operating principle, the energy detector performance would not be expected to depend on the type of primary signal being detected. In this context, this paper evaluates the performance of energy detectionbased spectrum sensing for several real-world primary signals of various radio technologies. The obtained results indicate that the detection performances may vary notably with the considered primary signal but converge under certain conditions. The practical consequences of the different observed performances for several primary radio technologies are illustrated and discussed.

Awful shower
The bed was very comfortable. The mini-kitchen was great. The TV had Direct TV and a DVD player.
Rooms are a fantastic size. The breakfast (included) with omelettes made to order is great.
large rooms, great appliances great restaurant and very spacious.
They had a pool. Wasn't open but, there was a pool. They were pet friendly
We could have gotten a room on the mexican side for less than half the price and the same quality. We reserved a queen accessible room and the first room we got was a full size.When we did get a queen the carpet was wet guessing from the shower!?!
nicely located
Nogales! :)
needs remodeling, old worn out rooms
This is not a 2.5 i give it a 1.5
We liked nothing about this hotel. We were lied to by hotels.com as we were looking for a hotel with dining, etc. as this location was out in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant burned down 4 months ago and there were still pictures of it on the hotels.com site. We were extremely disappointed and cancelled our second night. We were only able to get a $40 coupon for the first night. The place is in a terrible state of deterioration! No Wi-Fi and no in room phone service. It was a joke!
Unfortunately when I booked, it wasn't mentioned that there had been a recent fire in the restaurant. They suffered a lot of water damage. Therefore, the restaurant wasn't open, the front desk was operating out of one of the rooms, the in room telephones didn't work and the grounds and hotel were rather run down. Also, the ad suggests the hotel and golf course are at the same place- NOT SO!
The room was very clean and the staff friendly, but the facility was lacking some creature comforts.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Assuming it was done with permits, if you correct the status it will increase your tax bill. If not, you will have to make it legal and if things weren't done properly you could be forced to undo the work. If you are doing this because you want to sell the property, a 3R Report showing completed permits should suffice, but any time you take mystery out of real estate it adds value. If you get the situation corrected officially there will be no room for interpretation. If you did work without permits talk to a professional before proceeding any further.

Understand that if there were additions done with permit they should have that record and the added value will be added to the tax basis. If work was done without permit, you might eed to get permits and inspections.

Past elections have been swayed by party lines or town politicians being set in their ways. It used to be that you could say, "I'm running. You all know me. Vote for me," and that was enough to get you elected. The past few elections have proved that doesn't work any more. So here is my advice to all candidates for a successful campaign:
1. Start campaigning early. In the last Supervisor election the incumbent didn't visibly campaign until about two weeks before the election. No yard signs, no nothing. He lost by so few votes that you could credibly argue he would still be our supervisor if he had gotten out there sooner. The current supervisor did campaign. His signs were out there for everyone to see, and he told people what he stood for. He won. Then he did all the stuff he said he was going to do. Love him or hate him, he ran a good campaign, it paid off for him, and he followed through with his campaign platform.
2. That thing about telling people what you stand for -- it's important. If you want a fair election let voters know what you think the issues are and how you would address them. I'm not asking for a novel on the subject. But it does the Town no good service if the vote is based on what party you belong to when what you would actually do and believe in will affect people's lives so directly. If your vision for Lansing is close to mine I want to vote for you, and I don't care what party you belong to.
3. Tell us what you have done along the lines of what you are saying you would do if elected. That tells voters you might just do it again. Even if you haven't been an elected official before, tell voters what you did at work or in volunteer service, or anywhere else that shows what you will do if elected.
4. Participate in the Debate. Well, I hope there will be an actual debate, and I hope every single candidate participates, because that's a great consolidated way to get the issues out there and talk about how you would solve them. But even if there isn't there are many venues where you can reach out to voters. Last year a number of politicians including some who were running for State offices showed up at the Lansing Harbor Festival. Some had booths, some just walked around and introduced themselves to people.
5. Advertise in the Lansing Star. Yeah, yeah, I know... it's a special interest of mine. Hey, at least I don't bug people's cell phones to get the news! But seriously, the Star is Lansing's local newspaper, so it's a great place to reach out. Town Councilman Robert Cree says it's the thing to do to get elected -- he advertised when he ran, and he won. I'm not sure whether he says that with tongue in cheek, but the concept is sound. It's a way to reach voters who vote in Lansing. As with yard signs, the sooner the better.
Just saying 'I'm a good person, I've lived here forever, I'll get along with everyone and I know what Lansing needs' isn't enough any more. We all know how national candidates muck up elections with misleading attacks and sideshows that distract voters from actual issues. To me that is unpatriotic and disrespectful of the voting public. Tell me who you are, what you stand for, and what your record in office and/or in life is. Let me compare that to the resumés of your opponents. Let me decide who is the best fit for this stage of my town's development.
People in this community are smart, but they can only act on what they know. The more you help us to know about you, the better chance we have of getting the right government for people who live here now and for the future these people want. That's the American system at its best, and at least on the local level it is perfectly attainable if the candidates all agree to engage.
