Advanced Standing Examinations are administered by the Department of Foreign Languages. The cost for each examination is $60.00 to be paid at the Bursar's Office after having obtained the required signatures from the Department of Foreign Languages.
Please contact Nina Burnette for more information.
For the Department of Foreign Languages (DFL), Kennesaw State University only administers and accepts CLEP Subject Examinations for French, German, and Spanish. Examinees must be a currently registered student at Kennesaw State University in order to be tested at KSU. Students will not be permitted to take a CLEP exam or to receive credit by examination for a course in which the student is currently or was previously enrolled, unless the student withdrew from the course within the drop/add registration period.
All CLEP exams are computerized and are completed in one sitting; EXCEPT the CLEP Composition Modular exam. This exam requires two appointments. The first appointment consists of a 90-minute computerized multiple-choice exam. Upon passing this section the student will then make his/her second appointment along with another sitting fee of $22.00. The second appointment is a timed 90 minute typed essay (typed on the computer in Word).More information: http://testing.kennesaw.edu
The Department of Foreign Languages (DFL) offers Computerized Adaptive Placement Exam (CAPE) in French, German, and Spanish. The CAPE developed by Brigham Young University is widely used across the country as a language placement instrument. When combined with other information, the results of these examinations assist the Department of Foreign Languages in placing a student in the appropriate level language course.
The Department of Foreign Languages is continually faced with the task of advising and placing freshmen and transfer students in appropriate courses. This decision is often based primarily upon the number of classes the student has previously taken in the language. However, placement on this basis does not take into account several important factors which determine the student's actual facility with the language, such as the effectiveness of the student's past teacher(s), the specific information covered, extracurricular, and/or other out-of-class exposure to the language.
CAPE uses state-of-the-art computer testing techniques to place students accurately and efficiently in the first two years (beginning I to intermediate II) of college language courses. The exam selects each new test item as a result of the answer given to the previous question. When the student answers an item correctly, a more difficult question is presented; if an item is answered incorrectly, an easier question is given. In short, the test "adapts" to the student's level of ability and will accurately determine the student's competency level in about twenty minutes.
Some of the benefits of using CAPE over conventional paper-and-pencil type tests include the reduction of the testing time to about twenty minutes since fewer test items are necessary. Boredom and frustration are diminished by eliminating items that are far too easy or much too difficult for an individual student.
CAPE provides immediate feedback. Upon completion of the exam, students are able to see their score.
After starting CAPE, the student enters his or her name and KSU ID number and responds to questions regarding his/her previous language experiences to initiate a test record file.
Once the record identification information is entered, the computer prepares the student for the test. The first screen briefly explains that the student is to respond to multiple choice questions by typing and confirming the letter of the correct answer.
To ensure that the student has understood the instructions, a sample test item is given. At this point, the actual test begins.
The computerized adaptive placement exams are designed to provide individualized testing, identifying the student's ability level with combinations of grammar, reading, and vocabulary questions. The adaptive testing algorithm has been written so that the first six questions serve as "level checkers." After the first six items, the test begins to "probe" in order to fine-tune the measurement by increasing or decreasing the difficulty by one level after each response. The test terminates if 1) the student answers incorrectly four questions at the same difficulty level, or 2) the student answers five questions at the highest difficulty level possible.
By requiring at least four misses at a given level, the test makes allowances for lucky guesses or inadvertent errors due to lack of concentration, nervousness, or other distractions. To avoid duplicate questions, the index to the question is flagged. When a question is used during the test, a sequential file is created to show the student's performance during the test.
At the conclusion of the test, the computer displays the performance level of the student. The student then consults the placement chart (as determined by the Department of Foreign Languages) that lists the ranges of performance levels that pertain to the various language courses of the curriculum. Thus, the student is immediately advised of the class that appears most suited to his or her ability level.
Students unsure of what level Spanish, French or German language course in which to register, should contact Patricia Tilbian, Lab Coordinator, Foreign Language Resource Center/Language Lab, Pilcher 134, (678) 797-2197. She will schedule the CAPE exam and upon completion, the student will be placed in the appropriate level language class up to the 2002 level.
Students may also go online and take the exam from home by following these instructions:
Go to: https://www.perpetualworks.com/secure/register/student/
Then, you will have to register and pay for the exam ($10). Choose the appropriate language from the drop-down menu. After completing the short survey you can begin the exam."
When the online placement exam is complete, you will receive an overall score (points). Please note the RANGE OF SCORES FOR PLACEMENT PURPOSES area and the course level that corresponds to your points. This is the course in which KSU recommends you enroll.
If the recommendation is for the 2001 or 2002 level, you must complete a pre-requisite override request form.
PLEASE NOTE: You must complete the Online Placement Exam and have the pre-requisite override form approved before you can register for 2001 or 2002 level courses.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com for questions.
The KSU Academic testing services team has officially assumed responsibility for administering the foreign language achievement testing service (FLATS). FLATS exams offer students the opportunity to recieve credit by examination for language progiciency in over 50 foreign languages.

There are less than 12 days before Christmas, but we thought you'd love this chuckle-inducing skit from the "Mama Mafia" called the "The 12 Gifts of Motherhood." Yes, it's a hilarious parody of "The 12 Days of Christmas"
What? You don't know about the Mama Mafia? Don't worry, we won't tell anybody you're on the late freight…we were too until a few days ago.
Seriously though, the "Mama Mafia," is a group of talented young black actresses and comedians balancing the trials and triumphs of motherhood one sketch at a time.
Featuring Angel Laketa Moore (ER, Good Luck Charlie, The Mom's View), Dinora Walcott (Scandal, Mike and Molly), Quin Walters (Prime Suspect, The Q&A Show) and Angelina Spicer (The Conan O'Brien Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Real), "The 12 Gifts of Motherhood" laments the "gifts" of motherhood like bloody nipples and horny husbands.

That's Not Funny: 10 Comedians Whose Offensive Jokes Crossed The Line
There are hardly any comedians who have never offended anyone with their jokes.
Comedy is an art form that praises those who dance on the thin line between hilarious and hurtful. Comedians like Joan Rivers, Louis CK and Chris Rock have created lucrative careers from being the most hilariously offensive. But the one thing these funny people have in common is that they have managed to stay on the right side of that line and they've created comedy that comments on disparaging social and racial injustice.
Oh, that thin line. Just beyond it—you know, when you've gone too far—is sexism, racism and all the other –isms that rip us apart. While there are some comedians who know how to stay on the right side of that line, there's still a few who boldly jump over it.

We Can't Take A Joke Because This Is Our Life: Woman Goes All The Way In On Steve Harvey For Special Needs Joke
I might be one of the few Black women in my circle and among circles like mine that actually doesn't have a huge problem with Steve Harvey. Sure, I find his relationship advice a bit trite and some of his observations dismissive and offensive; but I also think he's funny most of the time. And having seen what he does with young men and the mentoring he does at Disney every year, I see the good in him as well.
So yeah, Steve Harvey is problematic for sure. But honestly, he reminds me of a lot of Black men in his age range.
But when someone's egregiously wrong, you just can't ride for that.
And that's what happened last week when Harvey, playing on of his characters, Sister Odell, started telling a story about a 34-year-old woman with a mental disability, complete with offensive noises and more.
Well, one mother, whose daughter is on the Autism spectrum was not happy about it. At.all. And after she dropped her children off at school that morning, she recorded this impassioned video message for Mr. Harvey and comedians like him.
I'll transcribe some excerpts, but it's best to watch the full nearly five minute video to get the full perspective.
For those who can't watch, here are some of the highlights:
This is now my fourth time recording this video because I'm trying to keep it clean. I'm so pissed, it's been laced with profanities. I want this video to be shared so I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible.
She describes the offense:
This morning, Steve Harvey, as Sister Odell, made a "joke" about Easter Sunday and going to church and something to the affect of the sister next to me has a daughter who is slow and she's always blowing bubbles in the service. And then Shirley and all his crew are laughing…And then he says, 'Oh yeah, they dress her in little pink dresses, and little bobby socks and she 34-years-old but got the mind of a four year old.
Then her emotional reaction
The fact that he is making this joke on such a public program, that disturbed me… I don't understand why comedians still use people with special needs as their go-to joke to get laughs. Damon Wayans did it with "In Living Color," when I was 9-years-old watching that show, even then I was like 'Damn, this is really messed up.' And I didn't even have anyone in my family who had special needs. I was always taught that you don't make fun of people who cannot change that about them… And over the years, I have realized that every comedian does it or has done it. Rickey Smiley does it all the time. I am no longer a Rickey Smiley fan because of this.
I just want Steve Harvey and all comedians to know that this is not funny. This is our life! I have a child with autism, which is a developmental delay, that means that that child who I take to church, who may enjoy blowing bubbles or playing with a toy to keep her calm, so I can get get the world. That is what I'm going to do. That's the child you're making fun of.
Get some other material. Why are you constantly making fun? I'm sorry we have to deal with this 'Oh my gosh, we have kids with special needs and we're so sensitive and we can't take a joke.' No! We can't take a joke because this is our life. Stop making fun of people with special needs. It's not funny. It is never funny. There's no joke about it.
You have a perfect life. You have your family, you have your millions, you have Marjorie and all your kids. And they come on your show and tell you what a great dad you are…why do you have to do this? You don't have to do this. You hosted "Family Feud," you hosted your talk show, you have your morning show. Anything you want to do, you can do. You do not need to make fun of people with special needs. So stop it please, damn! Like, do you need me to write your material for you? Goddamn I don't understand why you're still doing this, it's not funny…
And then she gets cut off.
According to the description on the YouTube account where this was originally posted, this mother wrote:
Please LIKE, SHARE and COMMENT – I really want this to go as far as it can go!
Steve Harvey may not see it, nor even care to hear what I am saying, but there are TONS of people who need to hear this!
My phone stopped recording before I was done, but you get the point. (You didn't miss anything in the end; just me crying before getting out of my car.)
Please help me spread the word to ALL comedians/comedienne's that this practice is extremely hurtful to many members of the Special Needs community!
There has GOT to be other material out here!
I don't even attend comedy shows anymore because I know that I'm going to hear foolishness like this from at least one comedian.
It has got to stop!
Thanks for listening.
#autismawareness #specialneeds #specialneedsawareness #steveharvey #thesteveharveymorningshow
It looks like Steve Harvey did get wind of the video…or perhaps the other comments expressing outrage.
He said the apology was sincere but I'm going to have to call b.s. Everyone knows a sincere apology doesn't offer excuses or rationale for bad behavior. In fact, the best apologies take full responsibility and vow to do better. And Steve didn't do any of that here. Saying that we all can be offended by comedy at times, suggests that he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation. And I can only hope he sits with this for a little while longer.
But as for this crunk mother…I actually really like that she got so fired up at the very end. What she said, and the way she said it needed to be stated a long time ago. I've been watching "Comic View" since I was child and I can attest to the fact that far too often jokes about the special needs community come up. And it's not only lazy, it's incredibly hurtful for people who may know or are caring for someone else with special needs. What's particularly damaging about all of this is the example it sets for the younger generation. As I said, I was a child watching "Comic View" and like this mother, I was taught that you don't make fun of people, period, but especially people with special needs. Had I not been taught that and if I found humor in those jokes, I could have been like so many of my peers who took those jokes to school to use on children who did and didn't live with special needs. The cycle perpetuates itself. As a parent of an able bodied and able-minded child, there are already worries and concerns about your child being accepted and respected by their peer group. I can't imagine the worry, anxiety parents of children with special needs feel sending their children into school; but also, worrying that their children might face ostracism from adults who should know and do better.
#ManCrushMonday: Kevin Hart
You like your guys small, dark and handsome? If that's the case, you can't do much better than Kevin Hart. The Philadelphia native is quickly making his way up the ranks in Hollywood, most recently showcasing his comedic skills in Chris Rock's Top 5. Most of us remember Hart from the godawful 2004 film Soul Plane but he'd been plugging away long before catching that break. His turn in the Roc-A-Fella Films Paper Soldiers the year before was a memorable one — though under the radar — it foreshadowed his current success as one of the entertainment industry's funniest comedians. Hart's stand-up specials Laugh At My Pain (2011) and Let Me Explain (2013) are the stuff of legend, inspiring countless internet memes and the like, all because he's unafraid to joke about his own shortcomings. Regardless of how you may feel about his current relationship — which according to his ex-wife Torrei — began while he was still married, Hart is still a looker and everyone loves a man that can make them laugh till they tear up. For these reasons, Kevin Hart is this week's Man Crush Monday.

Point Of View: Why Chris Rock Is Brilliant
With his highly-anticipated and already raved about film Top 5 releasing December 12, Chris Rock has been making his rounds on various forms of media and press. He hosted Saturday Night Live and has done a slew of interviews such as a very hip-hip centric one alongside Roots drummer ?uestlove on the podcast Juan Epstein which was, by all means, great. But the best interview he's probably ever done was just released yesterday in New York Magazine with Frank Rich.
Never one to mince words, Chris Rock talks about some of everything with great candor and an honesty that makes you either love him or hate him. When asked about why some liked his SNL monologue Rock opined "Honestly, it's not that people were offended by what I said. They get offended by how much fun I appear to be having while saying it. You could literally take everything I said on Saturday night and say it on Meet the Press, and it would be a general debate, and it would go away." This is why Chris Rock is brilliant.
Frank Rich asked Rock if during his career did any comedians ever hold any distain towards him and he replied saying Bill Cosby did early on. That opened up the door for what he thinks in the midst of the allegations and this was pretty much all he had to say: "It's a weird year for comedy. We lost Robin, we lost Joan, and we kind of lost Cosby." Spot on.
At the end of the day, Chris Rock is a comedian. While speaking with Frank Rich, Chris seems to always bring everything back to just that. It gives the reader an idea of not only how he works, but how most comedians see the world, and what makes him successful. In the midst of talking about Robin Williams, Chris insinuates that comedians are generally depressed individuals and that his two daughters saved him from being his "miserable self."
"Being a comedian, 80 percent of the job is just you notice sh*t" is the most poignant quote in the whole article. The second being "I've always said, 'okay, what's the angle no one's talking about? And what if the thing that everybody's talking about is wrong?'"
Why? Because everything that makes this article-and Chris Rock-great is based on this. As of today there will be many articles and think pieces about what Chris Rock said in this same exact interview using Cosby, Ferguson, racism, and/or Obama in the headline to gain interest. Very seldom will give much thought to the "why" as opposed to just what he said. Yes, Obama was expected to be Michael Jordan and we got Shaq; which is great but people won't realize it until it's all over. His commentary on Obama's presidency ("It's just his best album might have been his first album") is dead on. These are all takes on a subject we have heard many times before…but it's his point of view which is why we are all writing about Chris Rock twenty-six years after "one rib."
With that said, the angle I have seldom heard-if at all-about race and Obama has come from Chris Rock in this interview and it is endearing. He talks about stories his mother told him about her upbringing in South Carolina in which they had their teeth pulled by vets–not dentists; and that if white people had known this they would have taken their pets to said veterinarians. Looking at how his children are currently growing up, Rock states: "It's partly generational, but it's also my kids grew up not only with a Black president but with a Black secretary of State, a Black joint chief of staff, a Black attorney general. My children are going to be the first Black children in the history of America to actually have the benefit of the doubt of just being moral, intelligent people."
Well put.

Mommy Mash-Up: Funny?: D.L. Hughley Jokes About Domestic Violence
Comedians crack jokes about all kinds of controversial topics. We all know that and appreciate their humor on everything from relationships to race, politics and parenting, but when does it go too far? Maybe when a comedian "jokes" about a subject and it seems like he's sounding off instead of finding the humor in a situation.
Take the case of comedian D.L. Hughley whose recent comments he made regarding Columbus Short's ongoing marital problems with wife Tanee McCall Short, and recent weird behavior which may have cost him his role on ABC's hit series, Scandal.
During a recent segment on his Radio One show, "The D.L. Hughley Show," the 51-year-old dad questioned the validity behind Short's misdemeanor spousal battery charge, in which the actor allegedly choked his wife while she was sleeping.
"The star of one of the hottest dramas in the country, chokes the f*ck out of his wife? That doesn't ever happen. I don't think it happened first off. Like the time Warren Sapp was getting ready to do the Super Bowl and some broad said that he raped her. There are just as many examples of women lying on men in the middle of divorce proceedings to get what they want as there are men who actually do anything. My point is if he did what she's alleging he did, she could still get all that she's going to have and not bring it up now when it damages his market value that she's going to be impacted by. If he loses that job nobody's living in Calabasas anymore."
"I guarantee you, three years from now she's going to be thinking, 'Damn, I should have shut the f*ck up…women always running out the mouth when they shouldn't.'… This bitch was thirsty. The bitch was thirsty. What, she gone go back to dancing? She gone f*ck her money up?"
The audio clip has been removed from the show's site, prompted a Change.org petition, according to BlackVoices, urging Hughley to publicly apologize for "endangering the lives of Black women who may be victims of domestic violence by encouraging them to remain silent."
And Hughley did just that. Here's his apology:
Columbus Short's wife came up and she is alleging that he had hit her with a wine bottle and assaulted her with a knife. I quickly jumped to Columbus Short's defense, and I put my mouth, my, my, if this were a joke, or if I had a done a joke that people got offended by I can honestly say I wouldn't be apologizing. I don't think humor, as subjective, as sometime as cutting that it can be, I think that's something, that's where I draw a line, I won't apologize for that.
What I will apologize for is putting my mouth on a woman who was victimized by a man who I know, and before I knew the facts, or before I knew the severity or before I knew much of anything about it. And so Tanee McCall-Short, I put, I basically said that she was probably a gold digger and I had no idea of the severity of what was going on. I quickly … my, my, my sole apology is that I put my mouth on a woman, who was in fact being victimized, and that it came off as me silencing victims. Which, you know, that you were brutalized once and then I do it again. And so I am not in the habit of apologizing for things I don't mean. I'm not in the habit of saying things that I don't mean. That was a comment I made, and putting my mouth on that woman was something I sincerely apologize for.
So I don't condone violence. I've been married to a woman for 30 years I can honestly say I've never physically abused anyone, well, men, but they deserved it. And I've never encouraged a woman to be silent deliberately about abuse. So if it came off that way I have to apologize. I don't know that you can encourage many women to be silent about much, but I want them to be silent in general, but just not about abuse.
Is D.L. Hughley's apology too little and too late? Or are we being too sensitive to a comedian cracking jokes?

PIECE BY PIECE, the six towering marble columns that for years had graced the Old York Road entrance to Albert Einstein Medical Center have carefully been reinstalled at the Logan campus.
The Greek columns, each 24 feet tall and 3 feet wide, are known as the Strickland Columns. They had been part of the now-demolished Second United States Mint, built in 1829 on Chestnut Street near Juniper, which was designed by the architect William Strickland.
The mint was sold in 1902, but the Ionic-style columns were donated to Einstein in 1904. Then in 2000, the columns were removed from Einstein because of road reconstruction and placed in storage until earlier this month.

text: I usually don't notice much of a difference between most beers on tap or in a fresh bottle, but something about two hearted on tap is SO much better than it is out of the bottle. I don't buy many bottles of two hearted any more, but pretty much any time I go to dinner I end up getting a two hearted. Luckily for me, almost every restaurant in my area carries it, even mediocre places like Max and Ermas and Red Robin.

Valley dementia patient on ventilator, doctors want kin to vacate bed

The husband of a dementia patient on life support at the Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital (SMHS) here for the past four months has alleged that the doctors have asked him to arrange for a ventilator and shift her home.
"How can I let her die? They are forcing me to remove her from the ventilator," says Sameena's husband, Abdul Rashid, sitting outside the intensive care unit.
The doctors at the hospital say that they have asked him to shift her home because she may get infected in the hospital. "The patient is 99 per cent dead and we have kept her on humanitarian grounds. We are asking him to take her home because she may get infection in the hospital," says Dr Pervez Shah, Head of Department, Neurology, SMHS.
Doctors say that Sameena is the first such case in the hospital. There are only 11 ventilators in the 600-bed hospital. This highlights the plight of such patients, as there's no rehabilitation centre for them.
Several months ago, the family of Sameena (52) took her to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, for treatment. "She was diagnosed with dementia. The doctors told us to take her to a local hospital," Rashid says. Four months ago, Sameena was taken to the SMHS hospital. "Since then her condition worsened. She lost her speech, stopped swallowing and grew weak. She was put on ventilator," he adds. The only signs of life are her tears. "Her eyes are moist whenever she sees me. Perhaps she recognises me and wants to say something," Rashid says.
He says doctors frequently ask him to remove her from the ventilator. "They have been forcing me and my sons to remove her from the ventilator and take her home. They are asking me to buy a ventilator that costs more than Rs 4 lakh. It is not just about getting a ventilator. It has to be operated professionally. Who will do that in my home?," he says.

UMM Art Galleries to Feature Local Artist Jaap Helder
Machias, Maine – Original works by Maine artists Jaap Helder and Diana Young will be on display at the University of Maine at Machias Art Galleries during the month of March.
Jaap Helder, a resident of Machias, was born in the Netherlands. After completing his education, Helder spent time traveling throughout Europe and Asia before moving to Maine. In 1998 he settled in Eastern Maine, where the unspoiled, raw beauty of the Down East landscape is a strong source of inspiration for his work. His paintings can be found in numerous private and corporate collections.
Diana Young is a resident of Bangor and has painted in many media as an artist. Young attributes much of the influence in her work to the seasons in Maine, spending the summer drawing and painting outdoors. Recently, Young has been experimenting with a scroll saw to create a series of raised wood figures.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 6 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. UMM's Art Galleries are located on the first floor of Powers Hall. The exhibits are free and open to the public and will be on display through March 31.
For gallery hours, please call UMM Art Gallery Director Bernie Vinzani at 255-1279. To learn more about Jaap Helder, visit www.helderart.com.

At the start of my new business, when I had no idea regarding the marketing thing, I was unaware of what things I'll need to market my company in an effective way. Though, I wanted to learn and see what practices are better, but I still wanted a reliable way to publicize my company or at least gain attention within my target market. In Australia, there are a lot of companies and new businesses and that are always trying to beat their competitors through quality products and effective marketing tactics and materials. That is the reason I have been looking for quality. Despite the fact I am a bit new in this field I knew the importance of two of the main marketing essentials, the print materials and the online marketing. These days, there is an increased trend of online marketing and people may not be focusing too much on offline tactics either for running a business or have a business for sale. But I focused on that also and here are my findings:
Print materials are important, like business cards or personalised cards as well as poster printing. And the most important thing is to have a brand able design for the print medium so that you can spread your work easily to more people.
In addition to focusing on the printed media, I also got aware of the fact that using printing services for a fast printing service is always a good choice. There are quality service providers offering their services for companies needing quality marketing materials. You can find many online printing service providers as well as local ones. They usually offer various printing services ranging from personalised Christmas cards to banner printing, invoice books and business cards printing, so that anyone can contact them for any kind of print media services for various purposes.
Also, there is no chance of publicizing any business without using the print media along with the online media. And for a quality offline campaign you need quality materials to share with your target market.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel & Spa Bolton Abbey
Very poor
Very disappointing. We went as a family group for my father's 75th bday but would certainly NOT go again! Having travelled up from London on a rainy Friday night, we checked into a tired, small room (supposedly one of the more expensive L-shaped rooms). Our pre-booked babysitter didn't show up, and the reception staff were not bothered. In fact, they were supercilious and rude. The bed was queen size ... for �250 per night!! Food in main restaurant good. Next door brasserie staff rude ... moaned when we wanted to book a table for lunch. Splash pool 300 yards across the road was a joke!! Bottom line, if this place was in the Home Counties, it would go out of business. PS Do the Guardian journalists get year-round 'friends and family' discounts?!?
Overpriced, Amateur Service and Cramped Rooms
I picked this hotel for one of my wife's significant birthdays as she is from Yorkshire and this is suppoed to be a luxury hotel. The first disappointment was the size of the rooms - at about �250 per night I think you are entitled to a room where it is possible to swing a cat. The second disappointment was the standard of service; the waiters were supercilious (and poorly trained in making their guests feel at home), and when I returned a corked bottle of wine in the very expensive restaurant, the waiter refused to serve me another bottle from the same vineyard, thereby implying that I didn't know what I was talking about. Four people at the table (one a wine a wine expert) had agreed that the wine was corked. The third disappointment was the bistro restaurant attached to the hotel which was crowded, noisy and far from relaxing. The final straw was the bill - extortionate!!
Overpriced, overated, very disappointing
Paying �230 for a standard room 1 night B&B we expected something a little special, instead we got something so far into it's own self that, in fact it was a little embarassing. Check in was good and speedy. The room was tatty, and very shabby. Paint coming off the walls. The bathroom was dirty, and not to mention the brown water that seemed to come out of the tap - needless to say the hotel staff were uninterested with this. The cocktail lounge was littered with dirty cups and teapots, we sat at a table for 45 mins with various staff and management pass us, none bothered to clear up - oh and you better like dogs, the hotels dogs sit at your heals as you enjoy afternoon tea.
The worst experience was Dinner in the Burlington, we tried the 'Prestige' menu. The 12 or so 'courses' are a sample of the fine culinary skills. In my opinion they were far to complicated in flavour, meager in size and disappointing. Fine dining is one thing, real food, and real memorable flavour makes a meal. Simple food, cooked exceptionally would prove far more popular I feel. Staff in the restaurant were quite rude.
Having stayed at various hotels all over the world, and the UK, this was possibly the most dissapointing stay ever.
Fabulous sevice, fabulous food.
I booked to stay for one night at the Devonshire Arms. Our room was lovely, four poster bed, lovely views and plenty of space for our one year old baby. The service was fabulous. The staff really couldn't do enough, and were so friendly. It felt as if they were so proud of their hotel, that they wanted to make sure we had a fantastic time.
All the staff were lovely with our one year old son, and offer a listening service at night, which meant we could eat in the restaurant in the evening. We choose the prestige menu (a 12 course taster menu), and it was superb. A real experience. Each course was described to us, and the restaurant staff were absolutely lovely. It was interesting to see that they made sure that they didn't over book, to ensure that everyone got wonderful service.
The hotel is lovely, the grounds are beautiful and there are fantastic walking opportunities available.
Though we were only away from home for one night: we instantly felt relaxed, and on holiday. We came home invigorated and very happy. We will definitely return.
Overpriced and under-delivered
The hotel itself is pretty - the decor of the main rooms is warm and inviting, and you get a real sense of "home" hear.
HOWEVER, far less attention has been paid to the rooms, which were average at best.
The staff within the hotel were friendly enough, and helpful - now here comes the bad stuff:
The main restaurant is an experience I would NEVER want to replicate. I have eaten in many stared restaurants and I was blown away by how little they can get away with serving. Fair enough, huge portions are not my thing and I appreciate fine dining and smaller portions, but I could hardly see my food! Yes, it is really that bad - the starter was one marble-sized ball of fish - very tasty but it wasn't even one mouthful!
After a full meal at lunch, my husband and I had to go to a local restaurant for a meal early in the evening because we were hungry. Now when is the last time that you paid �200 for a meal for 2 people and not even 2 hours after you finish, you're paying out for another meal?
In addition the restaurant staff are outright rude! Fair enough, they are experienced, often French and know their stuff, but a smile would go a long way - they really need to remember who their customers are - and for somewhere that's supposed to be in high demand - there were very few people there - I get the feeling most people go there and never go back - just like me!
Disappointment at the Devonshire
We had high hopes for this hotel, but were disappointed. On the plus side, it is in a lovely spot, with fabulous walks from the door, although with more passing traffic than you might expect. We didn't find the interior very attractive and our bathroom wasn't brilliant. We found the staff quite friendly, but a little "in your face". The manager rushed up to the table to shake hands right in the middle of a course, which was odd. The worst part was the Michelin starred food, which we found very unappealing. It seems weird for the sake of it. Discussing it in a polite way with the restaurant manager (after the usual "was everything ok for you?") he as good as suggested that we've never eaten out before. All in all, not in the same league as Sharrow Bay for food, comfort or service. Very small portions and no biscuits with the cheese. Modish, perhaps, but daft! Wouldn't go back. We ate in the Bistro on the second night, which was much more enjoyable.
Absolutely Wonderful!
My husband and I have just come back from a most wonderful stay at this hotel.
On arriving at the hotel we were greeted at the car and luggage bought in for us (as you would expect - but which does not always happen at luxury hotels).
The room was lovely (33) in the new part of the hotel - and overlooked the beautiful views behind the hotel.
The staff were wonderful - very friendly and chatty (if you want them to be) and the food - well... just amazing! I have a fish and nut allergy and this hotel could not do enough to make sure I was ok. Making separate bread etc... fabulous!
We will be returning again this year for certain! In fact I may book for our wedding aniversary in August.
The only disappointment was the Espa facial I had. I have one every month at an Espa where I live. The one at the Devonshire was absolutely terrible! Also, my husband had a massage - and he said that that wasn't very good either!
Luxurious Home from Home
Satyed at the hotel in April 2004 for our anniversary. This has got to be one of the friendliest luxury hotels I have ver stayed in. Staff are excellent, very attentive and not at all snooty as you would expect from an establishment like this. The resurant is out of this world - completely deserves it's michilin star. The candle lite conservatory is the best part of the dinning room.
The rooms are as you would expect for a luxury hotel. Health club is very very nice, only problem is that it's over the main road in a seperate building - a bit of a pain. My only moan is that although we payed about �260 a night they still charged us the 70p for what should be a complimentry paper - but that only a small moan. The lounge or having a quiet drink by the fire is a lovely way to spend some time after dinner. Spend an afternoon walking to bOlton Abbey up the river path which is directly outside the hotel - absolutely beautiful.
A Treat!
If you have the chance to visit the Dales, this is the place to stay. I have stayed her 6 times. The location beautiful year round. Each room is individually decorated and features little touches like fresh fruit and coffee/tea/hot chocolate fixings. There are two restaurant options -a casual bistro and a more formal dining room - both offer good atmosphere and food. The fitness center and spa are located in the old converted stable. Sounds strange but you will be surprised how nice it is! There are plenty of activities nearby and the staff is there to help. Of course, it is also lovely to sit in front of one of the many fires and sip a cocktail or cup of tea and read a book. You can't help but feel at home here!
A Hidden Jewel!
I have stayed in the Devonshire Arms twice - first in the summer of 1999, and then again on a Christmas package in 2002. Both times my family was welcomed by name like old friends! The staff was warm and enthusiastic. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated. The restuarant food and service was always excellent!
There is plenty to do within walking distance or a short drive. Great health club!
We felt more like we were guests in a private home than in a hotel. The Devonshire Arms is a place to be savored and enjoyed for a minimum of several days!

Hunt for Walrus Ivory Worries Conservationists
Published: August 15, 1989
SOME young Alaskan Eskimos are illegally shooting hundreds of walrus, using chainsaws to cut off their heads and trading the great beasts' ivory tusks for cash and drugs.
While these ''headhunters'' have not yet reduced the walrus population to the danger point, conservationists fear they could do so, especially when an impending international ban on trade on elephant ivory takes effect.
''The walrus could end up in the same situation as the elephant in the next few years unless something is done to prevent it,'' said Dave Cline, regional vice president of the Audobon Society in Anchorage.
No one knows exactly how many walrus inhabit the ice floes in the Bering Sea. The last walrus census, done by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in 1985, put their number at 234,000. Another census is scheduled for next year. 'A Few Rotten Apples'
The Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits the hunting of walrus, seals, whales, polar bears and other mammals except by Alaskan Eskimos hunting in a ''non-wasteful manner,'' using the animal for food.
Eskimos who hunt walrus legally say the walrus herd has never been healthier, and that hunting is so limited by weather that the illegal hunters are not a threat to the herd. They say it is being exaggerated by whites who resent Eskimo hunting privileges and by conservationists who hope that alarm over the walrus will attract donations. Most hunters who kill walrus do so legally, Eskimo leaders said.
''A few rotten apples are making the whole bushel look bad,'' said Benjiman P. Nageak, chairman of the Eskimo Walrus Commission.
But even a small number of headhunters do significant damage, Mr. Cline said. Headhunters hunt more often than other Eskimos, he said.
''When they only take the heads, they can kill several walrus on one trip, he said. ''When they hunt for meat, one walrus is usually plenty.''
''The bad guys use chainsaws to cut off the heads in a hurry,'' said Dave Fisher, manager of the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge where some illegal hunting has recently taken place. ''It's quicker than using a knife.'' #12,000 Killed Each Year The Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that about 10 percent of the walrus taken by Alaskan Eskimos, about 400, are killed by headhunters, generally young men in the mid-20's to mid-30's.
About 12,000 walrus are killed each year, said Francis H. Fay, a professor of marine science at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. About 4,000 are taken by Alaskan Eskimos. Another 4,000 are taken by Siberian Eskimos and Soviet hunting ships that supply walrus meat for animals raised for their fur. About 4,000 more are killed by hunters but not retrieved. One percent of the herd die each year of natural causes.
''Twelve thousand a year is too much,'' Mr. Fay said. ''That level of killing in the past has reduced the population drastically. That's the basis for concern that the current harvest may be excessive.'' A Source of Food
Walrus and seals are still a main source of food for many Eskimo villages. Eskimo walrus hunters travel to out to ice floes by motorboat and shoot the walrus with high-powered riles, butchering them on the ice.
For food they take walrus's heart, liver, flippers and some of its skin. They use its ivory tusks to make tools, buttons, jewelry and other items.
''Just cutting off their heads is considered a wasteful manner'' and a clear violation of the law, said James Sheridan, a special agent for the Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage.
But the Marine Mammal Protection Act is nearly unenforceable unless headhunters are caught in the act, Federal agents say.
''You can't tell by just looking at a walrus head whether it was taken properly or not,'' said Wally Soroka, a special agent for the Fish and Wildlife Service. ''If you ask someone, they'll always say they killed the walrus for food.''
While Federal officials have handled several cases of illegal possession or trading of walrus ivory, only one Eskimo has ever been tried for a ''wasteful taking'' of walrus. He was found guilty last month in Federal court, said the acting United States Attorney in Anchorage, Mark R. Davis.
Federal authorities said they saw the man, Richard Clark, 38 years old, of Clark's Point, Alaska, cut the heads off nine walrus. He was hunting at the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge along Alaska's Bristol Bay, near where the Aleutian Islands begin to stretch away from the mainland into the Pacific. He faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
His father, Joseph Clark, 68, and brother, Samuel, 26, pleaded guilty to the same charges and received sentences of six months probation and had to pay $500 fines. The elder Clark agreed to tape public service announcements warning hunters not to kill walrus solely for ivory. A Motive: Drugs
Although no drug charges were filed against the Clarks in connection with the ivory poaching, Fish and Wildlife Service agents say nearly every walrus case they handle involves drugs.
Joeseph W. Bottini, an assistant United States attorney in Anchorage, said the amounts of drugs involved are often ''amazingly small.'' In one instance, he said, 10 walrus heads were traded for one ounce of marijuana. An average walrus head, with two tusks, typically sells for $500 to $700 depending on the size and quality of the tusks, Mr. Bottini said. An ounce of marijuana sells for $250, at most, in remote regions of Alaska, he said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — North Kansas City Schools' transportation department has earned the Excellent Fleet Award from the Missouri Highway Patrol after receiving an inspection rating of 99.4 percent.
The department has had an inspection rating above 90 percent — the percentile required to qualify for the award — for 15 consecutive years. A 15-year plaque and award stickers for each bus will be awarded at the July conference of the Missouri Association for Pupil Transportation.
Transportation Director Shirley Patrick said that of the more than 100 items inspected on each of the district's 148 buses, only one "slightly loose item" prevented the district from earning a perfect score of 100.
This accomplishment, according to Patrick, takes the cooperation of mechanics and shop staff, along with bus drivers — who report daily on how their school buses are functioning — to meet the rigors of state annual inspections. She credited Shop Supervisor Dave Argabright and his team of mechanics, including Dave Anderson, Rob Faris, John Ray and Tom Wilson; lube tech Jim Dunkin; and shop helper Cindy Dunkin for making sure that the students the department serves travel safely to and from school each day.
More than 14,000 students of the district's 18,500 are currently eligible for transportation. The district comprises four high schools, five middle schools and 21 elementary schools spread over more than 82 square miles.
Five days a week, buses travel on 520 regular-education routes as well as 156 routes for students with disabilities. Additionally, buses transport up to 500 more students each day for field trips and athletic events. In total, district buses travel about 10,500 miles each day and approximately 1.9 million miles each year.

text: Mating season is from January to May. Females, alone, incubate around 1-2 eggs at a time. After incubation, which can last around 15 days, the eggs hatch. Fledging occurs 15 days after hatching. A juvenile reaches sexual maturity in less than 1 month, but will not mate until the following year. The mortality rate is high in oropendolas because depredation occurs often by toucans, snakes, monkeys, and botfly larvae. Females will mate up to three times during the season, but less than one half percent of the chicks live past hatching (Kraucunas 1996; Jaramillo and Burke 1999).

The entire staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Bashioum took a great deal of time to explain the procedure to me and answer all of my questions. After I left the clinic I felt very confident in my decision. I had my procedure four month ago and I could not be happier with the results. I feel and look years younger. I have recommended Dr. Bashioum to colleagues and friends.

Despite all the excitement surrounding solar energy over the last couple of decades, the technology has yet to go mainstream. However, that is slowly starting to change. Perhaps the biggest reason for the slow spread of solar energy has been the high cost associated with converting a household to take advantage of solar energy.

SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.

Taking the Spotlight: Solar Energy
Distributed generation in the form of wind, landfill gas, and cogeneration got a mention, but solar by far is attracting the most attention from cooperatives and legislators, a panel of experts told the co-op crowd. The panelists also informed co-ops that distributed generation is coming. They were told that it is best to get in front of it and that co-ops should develop their own DG projects.
Solar Energy Has Finally Arrived
Solar energy in 2013 removed its training wheels and started competing with traditional energy sources. In the fourth quarter alone, the average weighted price per watt of solar capacity installed dropped by 15%, averaging $2.59 compared to more than $6 in 2010.
Inside SolarCity: The Rise of a Hot Solar Panel Provider

In 2013 there was a 47 percent jump in the number of home solar installations in the U.S., and by the end of the year more than 400,000 American homes had solar power. Don Dahler meets one man who uses imagination to help power the change.
SEIA, SHC Alliance Support Efforts to Expand Renewable Thermal Technologies
Saying it will help to create jobs and expand the use of clean, renewable energy in Massachusetts, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), along with its Solar Heating and Cooling Alliance (SHC), are urging the State Senate to adopt S. 1970, allowing renewable thermal technologies to qualify for the Alternative Portfolio Standard and provide a credit that incentivizes renewable thermal technologies.
