John Andrew Boehner ( /ˈbeɪnər/ BAY-nər;[notes 1] born November 17, 1949) is the 61st[1] and current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party, he is the U.S. Representative from Ohio's 8th congressional district, serving since 1991. The district includes several rural and suburban areas near Cincinnati and Dayton, and a small portion of Dayton itself.
Boehner previously served as the House Minority Leader from 2007 until 2011, and House Majority Leader from 2006 until 2007. As Speaker of the House, Boehner is second in line to the presidency of the United States following the Vice President in accordance with the Presidential Succession Act.

Boehner was born in Reading, Ohio, the son of Mary Anne (née Hall) and Earl Henry Boehner, the second of twelve children. His father was of German descent and his mother had German and Irish ancestry.[2][3][4][5][6] He grew up in modest circumstances, having shared one bathroom with his eleven siblings in a two-bedroom house in Cincinnati. His parents slept on a pull-out couch.[7] He started working at his family's bar at age 8, a business founded by their grandfather Andy Boehner in 1938.[7] He has lived in Southwest Ohio his entire life. All but two of his siblings still live within a few miles of each other; two are unemployed and most of the others have blue-collar jobs.[8]
Boehner attended Cincinnati's Moeller High School and was a linebacker on the school's football team, where he was coached by future Notre Dame coach Gerry Faust.[9] Graduating from Moeller in 1968, when U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was at its peak, Boehner enlisted in the United States Navy but was honorably discharged after eight weeks because of a bad back.[10] He earned his B.A. in business administration from Xavier University in 1977, becoming the first person in his family to attend college, taking seven years as he held several jobs to pay for his education.[7]
Shortly after his graduation in 1977, Boehner accepted a position with Nucite Sales, a small sales business in the packaging and plastics industry. He was steadily promoted and eventually became president of the firm, resigning in 1990 when he was elected to Congress.[4]
From 1982 to 1984, Boehner served on the board of trustees of Union Township, Butler County, Ohio. He then served as an Ohio state representative from 1985 to 1990.[citation needed]
In 1990, Boehner ran against incumbent congressman Buz Lukens, who was under fire for having a sexual relationship with a minor. He trounced Lukens in the primary, taking 49 percent of the vote. This was tantamount to election in the heavily Republican 8th District. He has been reelected 10 times with no substantial opposition, and even ran unopposed in 1994.
During his freshman year, Boehner and fellow members of the Gang of Seven took on the House establishment, Republicans and Democrats alike, and successfully closed the House Bank (House banking scandal), uncovered "dine-and-dash" practices at the House Restaurant, and exposed drug sales and illegal cash-for-stamps deals at the House Post Office.[11]
Boehner, along with Newt Gingrich and several other Republican lawmakers, was one of the engineers of the Contract with America in 1994 that helped catapult Republicans into the majority in Congress for the first time in four decades.
From 1995 to 1999, Boehner served as House Republican Conference Chairman which is the party caucus for Republicans in the United States House of Representatives. In this post, he was the fourth-ranking House Republican, behind Gingrich, Majority Leader Dick Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay. There he championed the Freedom to Farm Act that, among other provisions, revises and simplifies direct payment programs for crops and eliminates milk price supports through direct government purchases.
Following the election of President George W. Bush, Boehner was elected as chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee from 2001 until 2006. There he authored several reforms including the Pension Protection Act and a successful school choice voucher program for low-income children in Washington, DC.[12] He was also a major force in the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, saying it was his "proudest achievement" in two decades of public service.[13]
In the summer of 1997 several House Republicans, who saw Speaker Newt Gingrich's public image as a liability, attempted to replace him as Speaker. The attempted "coup" began July 9 with a meeting between Republican conference chairman Boehner and Republican leadership chairman Bill Paxon of New York. According to their plan, House Majority Leader Dick Armey, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, Boehner and Paxon were to present Gingrich with an ultimatum: resign, or be voted out. However, Armey balked at the proposal to make Paxon the new Speaker, and told his chief of staff to warn Gingrich about the coup.[14]
On July 11, Gingrich met with senior Republican leadership to assess the situation. He explained that under no circumstance would he step down. If he was voted out, there would be a new election for Speaker, which would allow for the possibility that Democrats—along with dissenting Republicans—would vote in Dick Gephardt as Speaker. On July 16, Paxon offered to resign his post, feeling that he had not handled the situation correctly. Paxon was the only unelected member of the leadership group, having been appointed to his position by Gingrich.[15]
In 1998, Boehner was ousted as the chairman of the House Republican Conference, after his party lost five congressional seats.[16]
In an upset, Boehner was elected by his colleagues to serve as House Majority Leader on February 2, 2006. The election followed Tom DeLay's resignation from the post after being indicted on criminal charges.
Boehner campaigned as a reform candidate who wanted to reform the so-called "earmark" process and rein in government spending. He defeated Majority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri and Representative John Shadegg of Arizona, even though he was considered an underdog candidate to Blunt. In the second round of voting by the House Republican Conference, Boehner defeated Blunt with 122 to 109 votes. Blunt kept his previous position as Majority Whip, the No. 3 leadership position in the House. (There was some confusion on the first ballot for Majority Leader as the first count showed one more vote cast than Republicans present,[17] due to a misunderstanding as to whether the rules allowed Resident Commissioner Luis Fortuño of Puerto Rico to vote or not).[18]
After the Republicans lost control of the House in the 2006 elections, the House Republican Conference chose Boehner as Minority Leader. While as Majority Leader he was second-in-command behind Speaker Dennis Hastert, as Minority Leader he was the leader of the House Republicans. As such, he was the Republican nominee for Speaker in 2006 and 2008, losing both times to Pelosi. While the Speaker is nominally elected by the full House, in practice he or she is almost always chosen by the majority party.
According to the 2008 Congress.org Power Ranking, Boehner was the 6th most powerful congressman (preceded by Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Hoyer, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Sander M. Levin, Dean of the House John Dingell, and Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey, all Democrats) and the most powerful Republican.[19] As Minority Leader, Boehner served as an ex officio member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
On November 17, 2010, Boehner was unanimously chosen by the House Republicans as their nominee for Speaker,[20][21] all but assuring his formal election to the post when the new Congress convened with a Republican majority in January 2011. He is the first Speaker from Ohio since fellow Republicans Nicholas Longworth (1925 to 1931) and J. Warren Keifer (1881 to 1883). He is also the first Speaker who has served both as majority and minority floor leader for his party since Texas Democrat Sam Rayburn.
As Speaker, Boehner is still the leader of the House Republicans. However, by tradition, he normally does not take part in debate (though he has the right to do so) and almost never votes from the floor. He is also not a member of any House committees.
In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies.[22] In a 1996 documentary by PBS called The People and the Power Game, Boehner said "They asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. And I did it on the House floor, which I regret. I should not have done. It's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that's gone on here for a long time that we're trying to stop and I know I'll never do it again."[23] Boehner eventually led the effort to change House rules and prohibit campaign contributions from being distributed on the House floor.[24]
A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation's biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.".[25]
In November 2010, Boehner, along with Minority Whip Eric Cantor, called for the cancellation of an exhibit in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery after he learned that it featured a video by David Wojnarowicz, A Fire in My Belly, that contained an image of a crucifix with ants crawling on it. Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith said, "Smithsonian officials should either acknowledge the mistake and correct it, or be prepared to face tough scrutiny beginning in January when the new majority in the House moves [in]."[26]
A profile in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said, "On both sides of the aisle, Boehner earns praise for candor and an ability to listen."[27] The Plain Dealer says Boehner "has perfected the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable."[28]
Boehner has been classified as a "hard-core conservative" by OnTheIssues.[29] Although Boehner does have a conservative voting record, when he was running for House leadership, religious conservatives in the GOP expressed that they were not satisfied with his positions. According to the Washington Post: "From illegal immigration to sanctions on China to an overhaul of the pension system, Boehner, as chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, took ardently pro-business positions that were contrary to those of many in his party. Religious conservatives – examining his voting record – see him as a policymaker driven by small-government economic concerns, not theirs."[30]
Boehner has received a "0" rating from the Human Rights Campaign in the last three congressional sessions, voting against the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010, the Early Treatment for HIV Act, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Boehner voted for a Federal Marriage Amendment. In a letter to the Rights Campaign, Boehner stated, "I oppose any legislation that would provide special rights for homosexuals... Please be assured that I will continue to work to protect the idea of the traditional family as one of the fundamental tenets of western civilization."[31][32]
On May 25, 2006, Boehner issued a statement defending his agenda and attacking his "Democrat friends" such as Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Boehner said regarding national security that voters "have a choice between a Republican Party that understands the stakes and is dedicated to victory, and a Democrat Party with a non-existent national security policy that sheepishly dismisses the challenges of a post-9/11 world and is all too willing to concede defeat on the battlefield in Iraq."
Boehner is a signer of Americans for Tax Reform's Taxpayer Protection Pledge.[33]
Boehner has called on the President to justify spending for military operations against terrorists.[34]
On September 18, 2008, Congressman Boehner attended a closed meeting with congressional leaders, then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and was urged to craft legislation to help financially troubled banks. That same day (trade effective the next day), Congressman Boehner cashed out of an equity mutual fund.[35]
On October 3, 2008 Boehner voted in favor of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP),[36] believing that the enumerated powers grant Congress the authority to "purchase assets and equity from financial institutions in order to strengthen its financial sector."
Boehner has been highly critical of several initiatives by the Democratic Congress and President Barack Obama, including the "cap and trade" plan that Boehner says would hurt job growth in his congressional district and elsewhere. He opposed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and said that, if Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections, they would do whatever it takes to stop the act. One option would be to defund the administrative aspect of the Act, not paying "one dime" to pay the salaries of the workers who would administer the plan.[37] He also led an opposition to the 2009 stimulus and to Obama's first budget proposal, promoting instead an alternative economic recovery plan[38] and a Republican budget (authored by Ranking Rep. Paul Ryan, R-WI).[39] He has advocated for an across-the-board spending freeze, including entitlement programs. Boehner favors making changes in Social Security, such as by raising the retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, as well as tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation, and limiting payments to those who need them.[37]
In 2011 Boehner called the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act "one of our highest legislative priorities."[40][41]
In the November 2006 election, Boehner defeated the Democratic Party candidate, U.S. Air Force veteran Mort Meier, 64% to 36%.[42]
In the November 2008 election, Boehner defeated Nicholas Von Stein, 68% to 32%.[43]
Boehner was opposed by Democratic nominee Justin Coussoule, Constitution Party nominee Jim Condit, and Libertarian nominee David Harlow; but won the 2010 election.[44]
As Republican House Leader, Boehner is a Democratic target for criticism of Republican views and political positions. In July 2010, President Barack Obama began singling out Boehner for criticism during his speeches.[45] In one speech, Obama mentioned Boehner's name nine times[46] and accused him of believing that police, firefighters, and teachers were jobs "not worth saving."[47]

Give chocolate to loved ones, and you could end up poisoning them. That is, if the loved ones are your pets.
Even small amounts of theobromine, an ingredient in chocolate, can cause vomiting and restlessness in pets. Larger doses can be fatal. While most pet owners expect a dog to develop an upset stomach after eating a large amount of chocolate, few realize its toxic potential.
The lethal dose of theobromine depends on the size of the dog and the type of chocolate. Ounce for ounce, baking chocolate has six to nine times as much of the substance as milk chocolate does.
Cats have much different eating habits and seldom are poisoned by chocolate.
While a very small amount of chocolate may not harm some dogs, it's safest to avoid giving it to them at all. If an accident occurs, a veterinarian should be consulted. Treatment may require inducing vomiting, stabilizing the animal's heartbeat and respiration, controlling seizures and slowing the absorption of theobromine. If the animal already is comatose, its stomach may need to be pumped.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A A+F Overall Experience: I have loved East Carolina University so far. I have felt like I have gotten a great education and I have made some great friends and connections. I could not imagine going anywhere else.
F A+F Parking: Parking on campus is terrible! There is no where to park on campus during the week if you do not have a parking pass. There are a few meter spots, but they are always taken. Parking passes are so expensive so it is very annoying if you live off-campus and have to find ways to get to campus. Parking officers are intense and you WILL get a ticket if you park somewhere you are not supposed to.
A A+F Greek Life: I think we have a great Greek Life. It is not too big, so if you are not involved in Greek Life it is okay. Some non-Greeks probably think bad about Greeks just because of stereotypes, but for the most part I think our Greek life has a good reputation.
C A+F Scholarships: I applied for financial aid and the only option I received was a loan. I figured it would be easier to go ahead and pay the money instead of taking the loan that way I won't have loans to pay off when I get out of college. Therefore, I did not take the offer of the loan.
A A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are so many places surrounding ECU's campus. Greenville Blvd is full of different types of restaurants. They are fast food restaurants, nice dining restaurants, healthy options, etc. Most of the places are affordable for college students and for the most part have good quality food and service.
B A+F Majors: To get into the college of business you just had to be accepted to ECU. To declare a concentration in the college of business you have to pass all the core foundation credits and then you can pick a concentration.
A A+F Majors: I enjoy the college of business and majoring in business because it is a great program. I have already learned a lot of operating and working in a business environment, but these information I am learning is also useful for any career you will have. You can almost do anything with a business degree and that is what is so great about it.
B A+F Academics: I am a business major and I love it. ECU has an excellent college of business and all the professors work hard to teach you how to be successful. In one of my classes this year we got the opportunity to meet four successful CEO's. We got the chance to ask them questions on what to do after we graduate and what kinds of things that managers look for when hiring someone. It was enlightening to hear what are some of the things that I need to do before I graduate to ensure that I get a good job. Very helpful tips.
B A+F Academics: ECU offers a great variety of majors. All majors have a strong curriculum and workload. No major is considered easy, they are all challenging in order to provide each student with an adequate education.
B A+F Campus Strictness: I lived in an all girls dorm so the policies in my dorm were very strict. Definitely no alcohol, drugs, etc and no boys after 2 a.m. The rules were enforced and I felt safe around campus due to all the security.
D A+F Drug Safety: I do not drink or do drugs and so I rarely go downtown because I feel so awkward when I do because everyone there is so drunk. I do not usually see drugs being used at parties, but I have definitely heard of them being used or noticed people who seem to be under the influence of something.
B A+F Computers: Our library and computer labs are excellent and they are plenty of them around campus. It is definitely useful to have a laptop, but if you do not have one or yours is not working it is very easy to find another computer to use on campus that will be reliable for what you need to accomplish.
C A+F Nightlife: I am not much of a partier so I do not really go to the bar/club scene much, but from what I hear and see most students love our downtown area. The cover charges for underage people is pretty expensive, but there is definitely a variety of places to go downtown.
A A+F Athletics: ECU football games are the best! The whole town of Greenville bleeds purple and gold on game days and everyone has great school spirit.
A A+F Transportation: Our bus system is very convenient and useful for our campus. They are multiple apartment complexes that are off campus and the bus system makes sure to send buses to these places so that these students can commute back and forth to class in an easy and affordable way.
B A+F Campus Dining: We have a great meal plan that allows you to either do to the dining hall for meals or eat meals other places on campus such as Chick-Fil-A, Panda Express, Einstein bagels, and other campus restaurants.
B A+F Overall Experience: I love ECU, great campus, great teachers, and just a all over good atmosphere.
C A+F Diversity: Im not 100% sure on all the beliefs and backgrounds of others, but acceptance wise I have never seen somebody get turned down or talked about because they're of different ethnicity.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: Its okay with shopping here, I usually go out of town to do my shopping. And the sports events (football) are a lot of fun going to!
C A+F Guys & Girls: We have a wide variety of people at ECU. From sorority girls, frat boys, to athletes and the very smart artsy people.
D A+F Campus Housing: Never lived on campus but friends that I knew hated it.
B A+F Transportation: Love having campus bus. But we do have to pay monthly towards our rent for it.
C A+F Campus Strictness: Never lived in a dorm but had friends who have.
F A+F Parking: Parking absolutely sucks on campus!
C A+F Campus Dining: Not a huge on campus eater. Not very healthy.

The quality and enthusiasm of the professors who care about their students is what attracts and retains students who could have gone to larger and more prestigious schools. Greenville is quite charming and has such good local food that most skeptics love the area, or at least ECU, by the time they graduate. Although the campus police are friendly, ECU is quite strict, perhaps in an effort to downplay the "party school" reputation. The strictness, however, contributes to student safety and helps reduce the drug presence on campus. Alcohol is a problem for some students, and the clubs are tempting, but the counseling center can help students with their problems. ECU's computer resources are excellent, and the athletic facilities are better than the teams' records. ECU's most enjoyable facilities are the green areas, especially because the weather here is so pleasant-crazy, but pleasant.
Whether living on or off campus, students should join organizations to maximize their college involvement and build leadership experience for their resume. With ECU's diverse student population, new students can easily find an organization, Greek or non-Greek, that is for them. ECU is reputed to have one of the highest concentrations of pretty girls anywhere, and the guys are good-looking overall, too. The Southern hospitality creates a welcoming social atmosphere. ECU has been through sports losses and administrative shake-ups in the past, but some of the political damage seems to be getting straightened out. So, as usual, ECU students are optimistic. We will continue to be easy-going, yet serious and balanced, fun-loving learners.

WEBFaces' Cartography, The code of cheek to cheek, ... > Many Faces of Eve
Regina Celia Pinto:
Dear all,
I would like to invite you to visit my new electronic, colorful and
ilustrated book "Many Faces of Eve" at: http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/
Below ten reasons to show you why you have to visit "Many Faces of Eve". ;-)
This book is:
1- An almost pop provocative work about gender
2- The code of cheek to cheek
3- The apple in the dark - Clarice Lispector
4- The semiotic of the woman who thinks that is dressed with elegance
5- The Adam rib and how I almost could be another woman...
6- Eve got the grape
7- Venus, Body, Image, Myth
8- Face is language, face is information
9- WEBFaces' Cartography
10- Myself as Saint Clara, according Marcelo Frazão.
Now, more seriously:
"Many Faces of Eve" (http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/ ) closes the circle which
I started last year with "The Milky Way"
(http://arteonline.arq.br/via_lactea/ ) and continued with "Alice in the
Wonderbalcony", Sheep's Parade and the series of collaborative reviews of
the 2005 museum newsletter.
Key words of "Many Faces of Eve": WOMEN, IDENTITY, GENDER, HUMOR
Resolution: 1024 X 768, Flash Player 7.0, available pop up windows
Constructive criticism will be welcome!

NET:REALITY exhibition
Michael Szpakowski:
below is a press release for a show some of us are in
here in the UK. After 20/21 it tours round the UK
pretty much until 2007. Hope some of you can make it
or at least check out the site.

Blurring the boundaries between the tangible gallery
and the transitory Internet, Net:Reality merges the
ethereal notions of cyber space with the aesthetics of
a physical exhibition. Seven leading UK artists
engaged in Internet and New Media practice have been
commissioned to create artworks that simultaneously
exist virtually and physically.
Rather than having a 'theme' for the artworks, the
common denominator is the media itself and the
unifying connections between the web (Net) and the
physical (Reality) elements of the compositions. The
artists in Net:Reality have each interpreted and
implemented the amorphous relationships between these
distinct spaces to create an exhibition of artworks
diverse in concepts and aesthetics - harnessing the
Internet and the gallery environment to investigate
subjects ranging from emerging technologies to social

A Measure of Anacoustic Reason
Turning a Deaf Ear
A Measure of Anacoustic Reason--by Raqs Media Collective--is an installation that registers a process of thinking about forms of reasoning that insulate themselves from listening. The installation sees the act of 'turning a deaf ear', as the unwillingness or inability to listen to the voices that refuse to be accommodated into the master narratives of progress, of instrumental reason and the domestication of space through the geomancy of corporations and nation-states. The visitor is invited to undertake his/her own audit of anacoustic reasoning through a meditation on a series of dialogues and rebuses that encrypt a set of paradoxes about the grandiose follies of seeking to rule the world by not listening to it.
A Measure of Anacoustic Reason is an installation consisitng of 1 projector, 4 screens, 4 dialogues, 4 lecterns and a lightbox. It was shown at ICon: India Contemporary at Venice Biennale 2005 (14 June-31 July, 2005)
Raqs Media Collective is produced at the Sarai Media Lab, Delhi and
at Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga.

As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
This delightful tour showcases several facets of Taipei and extends into the evening hours with a traditional Chinese dinner and visit to a night market.
Departing from the ship in the late afternoon, you will travel by coach to Taipei and the site of your first stop, the Lin An Tai Historical House. This Fuijian-style courtyard house with its elegant decorations has been recently renovated and is part of the Taipei International Flora Exposition venue located within the Xinsheng Park area. The house gives visitors a chance to see what life was like for a family that enjoyed financial success during the 1800s. Time permitting, you may also have an opportunity to visit several of the other pavilions located within the Exposition site.
Next, you will travel to the San Want Taipei Residence where you will be treated to a dinner of traditional Chinese favorites. Afterwards, you will make your way to Longshan Temple, a famous temple in Taiwan that is considered by many to be one of Taiwan's finest. The temple was built during the time of the Ching Dynasty and has undergone several restorations over the years. During your visit, you can view the beautiful architectural details of the temple, which include wonderfully decorated doors, exquisite sculptures and a pair of bronze dragons found in the front hall.
From the temple, it's a short stroll to the Huaxi Street Night Market. The ambience here is decidedly Chinese and visitors are greeted by a traditional post at the entrance while Chinese lanterns are hung along the street. Tucked away in this bustling and colorful shopping arcade you will find numerous historical shops and venues selling renowned local delicacies.
When your time here comes to a close, you will rejoin your coach and travel back to the pier in Keelung.

It was ok not bad based on the priceAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Friendly staff, hotel 1/2 star"
This is a very low-end hotel. Even for those who usually stay in 2-star places, this will be a let-down. The clerk told me they're supposed to be renovating sometime in the future. It definitely needs it. We're not fussy but really don't recommend this place.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"needs upgrade"
Not worth more than 60 a night. OK for short stay. Needs major upgrade but you get what you pay for.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"near alot of must sees and restaurants."
our stay was nice. no in room safes like advertised online. Also located on a very busy corner and was hard to find when traveling there. also no floor luggage racks which would have been useful.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
NICE MOTEL ON CAPE COD. POOL IS SMALL . JACCUZZI WAS OUT. FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST (OKAY). PET FRIENDLY. GREAT LOCATIONS. I WILL RECOMMEND THIS MOTEL TO OTHERS. I WILL COME BACK TO THIS MOTEL AGAIN.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
"Not worth the price"
Jacuzzi didn't work but was shown on the website. The pool was small and the continental breakfast consisted of white bread and mini muffins. The orange juice tasted like hi-c or tang. There was a musky scent in the room. For $117 a night it was definitely not worth it. I would never stay there again. The front desk staff was very friendly but owner […] was extremely rude. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"No frill, but clean and conveniently located."
It was a quiet stay for two nights. We brought our dog, and found the hotel to be older, but clean and reasonable. The desk clerk was friendly, yet uninformed about any local interest. There is a mini golf park directly across the street which was a lot of fun, even for just adults. There also is a liquor store that is within a 1-2 minute walk. All […] in all, for the price, it was really good! Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Only stay if you're desparate for a room"
This was a very last minute trip on my part and every other hotel option was full since it's the busiest time at the Cape. With taxes, I paid $281 for a one night stay and it was so not worth it!!! Ordinarily I would expect a 4 star hotel experience for that cost, but since I literally only needed this room to crash I figured I could deal with it for […] one night. Apparently there used to be an outdoor pool at one time which has since been paved over (literally). The indoor pool is riduculously small. The bedspreads are old and shabby, the TV is outdated and the furniture is from the 1980's. The room itself was fairly clean, although I still was grossed out by the comforter on the bed. I would think anyone staying here would be doing the same thing I did - hitting the beaches during the day/ restaurants at night and simply just in need of a place to sleep. If you book here, don't expect any luxury accomodations of any kind and do some due diligence to research other hotels in the area before staying here.

People were friendly, helpful and cheerful. Room was clean and 'bug free'. Would stay there again. Breakfast was pretty good, parking outside the room was excellent. Very good location. Rates were excellent. Would recommend this place to others.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Not worth it - find a different place"
Wifi was intermittent at best. TV remote was dead initially. AC unit was insufficient. Hot tub was out of service. Breakfast was meager (few selections, warm milk, orange flavored drink instead of OJ). Room was dark. No fan in bathroom.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
"Pleasantly Surprised"
After reading several negative reviews I was weary about staying here for the weekend. For the price of this motel, I was certainly not expecting luxury. Everything was clean and very cute. The staff was very nice and helpful, the room had everything we needed, and it was close to everything we wanted to get to. There was no shampoo in the room, which […] I was aware of ahead of time so I was fully prepared. Breakfast was really just coffee and some muffins, but that's exactly what they told us to expect at the front desk and it was all we needed to get started in the morning. This is the perfect price and the perfect place to stay if you're just looking for a nice place to sleep while visiting the cape. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"great for a couple of nights"
The hotel is all renovated, clean, great for short stays. Close to the beach, restaurants, mini golf and a lot of things to do near by. The staff was helpful and everything was good.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Too tired to drive any farther"
The room was as clean as was possible for the structure. If I was able to view the room prior to my stay I would not have booked the room. The mattress was a cheap one and was not comfortable. The amenities were sparse. The towels were cheap and I had to turn in my wet towels to get more so my son could shower. The rates were fair but I must say, I […] expected more for the money I spent. I will not stay at this motel again. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com

"Great for the overnight we needed."
It was the absolute best price over the internet for a one night stay. It was worth the price. Our primary goal was a reasonable overnight room. The be was comfy. And even though we didn't partake,there were some sweets and cereal for breakfasts. Other people gave this place a bad rap. However, they did prepare me to bring my own shampoo.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
Was very disapointed, the office personal had no personality what so ever, as far as working with the public, We arrived to find that the jacuzzi was out of order, one thing I was looking forward to. The room was in somewhat decent shape other than the remote for tv was broken, reported it to the office waited 2 hours for someone to check it out, ended […] up having to change rooms because tv was messed up, the bed had flat rather than a fitted sheet on it, with a mattress protector that was made for a double bed on a king, so only half the mattress was covered, I had thought to bring my own linen which we used on top of bedspread, the pool was clean and relaxing, Over all the ole saying is you get what you pay for, the price was worth the stay.....

I think the cleanliness of the room could have been much better. The room is fine for just an overnighter but not for a weeks vacation. The people in the main office were very pleasant.

"You can't clean a room that smells like urine"
I knew we were in trouble when as we pulled up we saw a man on his knees pulling dust and filth out of a vacuum cleaner more than 30 years old. While they clearly vacuum daily and use strong chemicals to clean daily, it cannot cover up the smell of urine. The rugs are so old that you know no matter what it is filthy, especially with an old ineffective […] vacuum cleaner. The ONLY thing going for this place is location and price. I thought I was going to gag. Thank God it was only one night. never again. There is also what appears to be Section 8 housing/long term tenants there. Nothing wrong with that but it feels more like low-income housing than a hotel. And for the people who have to live there, I feel really really really bad.

Organization Spectrum Training Hot Topics: • 70/80/90GHz Registration • Spectrum Policy Report 1 • Spectrum Policy Report 2 • Exec Memo on Spectrum Policy Reform • Broadband Over Power Line Report • UWB Measurement Reports Publications & Reports Media & Press Speeches |
1710 - 1755 MHz Background
In July 2002, NTIA released an assessment ("Viability Assessment') which identified 90 MHz of spectrum that could be allocated for 3G services to meet the increasing demand for new commercial services without disrupting communications systems critical to national security.1 On November 7, 2002, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reallocated this 90 MHz of spectrum to fixed and mobile services, making it available for advanced wireless services.2 On November 25, 2003, the FCC adopted service rules for this spectrum, including provisions pertaining to application procedures, licensing, technical operations, and competitive bidding.3 On December 23, 2004, President Bush signed into law the Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act (CSEA) which provided a funding mechanism through which federal agencies can recover the costs associated with relocating their radio communications systems from certain bands to be auctioned for commercial purposes. The CSEA required the FCC to notify the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ( NTIA) at least 18 months in advance of an auction of spectrum subject to the Act's provisions. In turn NTIA, on behalf of the federal agencies, and after review by the Office of Management and Budget, must provide the FCC and members of Congress with specific data regarding the estimated costs and timelines for relocating federal agencies from the affected spectrum at least 6 months prior to an auction. On December 29, 2004 the FCC notified the NTIA that the auction of the 1710-1755 MHz band will commence as early as 2006. As a result, to meet the provisions of the CSEA, NTIA requested the federal agencies to submit cost estimates and timelines for relocation to NTIA by September 15, 2005. The federal agencies completed this task and on October 13, 2005, NTIA provided this information to the Office of Management and Budget for review.The U.S. Department of Commerce provided on December 27, 2005, the FCC, the House of Representatives and the Senate estimated costs and timelines information associated with relocating federal operations from the 1710-1755 MHz band. The total number of frequency assignments that will be relocated by 12 federal agencies is 2,240 and the cost for the relocation of Federal Government operations is estimated to be $935,940,312. This effort is part of the 90 MHz of radio spectrum that is to be made available for the near term for advance wireless (including third generation or "3G") telecommunications services to meet the demand for new wireless services. To complete the 90 MHz of spectrum being made available for advanced wireless services, the additional 45 MHz of spectrum will be provided by the FCC (2110-2155 MHz band). NTIA provided the following specific information to the FCC, the House of Representatives, and the Senate for each unclassified 1710-1755 MHz frequency assignment/system: With respect to classified assignments and systems, NTIA provided only the serial number and the cost figure for relocating or modifying any classified frequency assignment/system. If you have any questions regarding this information, please notify Mr. Gary Patrick of the Office of Spectrum Management at NTIA. His email address is email@example.com and his phone number is (202) 482-9132. 1 An Assessment of the Viability of Accommodating Advanced Mobile Wireless (3G) Systems in the 1710-1770 MHz and 2110-2170 MHz Bands, NTIA, U.S. Department of Commerce (2002) (available at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/threeg/va7222002/3Gva072202web.htm). According to the Viability Assessment, the 90 MHz would come from the 1710-1755 MHz band, a government band largely used for fixed microwave service, and a matching 45 MHz from the 2110-2170 MHz band, a non-government band used by the multipoint distribution service. 2 See Amendment of Part 2 of the Commission's Rules to Allocate Spectrum Below 3 GHz for Mobile and Fixed Services to Support the Introduction of New Advanced Wireless Services, including Third Generation Wireless Systems, ET Docket 00-258, Second Report and Order, 17 F.C.C. Rcd. 23193 (2003). Specifically, the FCC allocated 90 MHz in the 1710-1755 MHz and 2110-2155 MHz bands for 3G systems. |
