Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Tuition and Fee Payments
Can I pay my tuition bill with credit card?
Yes, credit card payments can only be made via your CUNYfirst account and will be processed by the University's third party card processor. You will be charged a non-refundable convenience fee of 2.65% in addition to tuition and fees. The University will not accept credit card payments mailed or in person to the Bursar Office for tuition and fees.
To verify the amount of the convenience fee, logon to the CUNYfirst system. Go to Finaces and click Pay My Bill. Here you may view your bill and follow the steps to pay. The convenience fee will be displayed before the transaction is finished. If you do not want to pay the fee, cancel the transaction.
What types of credit cards are accepted?
MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted.
Can I pay my tuition and fees with debit card?
You can use a debit card to pay online. However, you will be charged the 2.65% processing fee. If you use your bank routing and account numbers (electronic funds transfer or EFT) instead, you will not be charged a processing fee.
I am a student at Baruch, how do I pay online?
Logon to the CUNYfirst system and go to the Student Center. Go fo Finances and select Pay My Bill.
Can I still pay online if I forgot my CUNY portal username and password?
No. If you have forgotten your CUNY portal password, click on the "Forgot your password?" link on the CUNYfirst login page, and enter your username where indicated. If it matches an existing account, CUNY will send a new password to your registered e-mail address. If you have forgotten your CUNY portal username, you must contact the BCTC help desk at 646-312-1010.
When will I receive confirmation that my payment was processed?
Once the payment is processed, you will receive an e-mail confirmation to the email address provided by the student or payee. All online payments are recorded into CUNYfirst. Students are informed of credit card rejections immediately upon submission of the transaction.
Can someone else pay for me?
Yes, you must give the person access to your account.
Will I get a receipt in the mail?
No, you will not receive a receipt in the mail. Your receipt will be e-mailed to the address provided when payment is made. You can view your account on CUNYFirst.
I have registered for classes but have not received a bill. Can I pay online?
Yes, students can pay online after they register, as long as the payment is made on or before their due date.
If I don't pay by credit card, what are my other options?
- Pay by electronic check online. Logon on to your account, go to Finances and select Pay My Bill. Then select Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Enter your bank routing and checking or savings numbers. Once you send your transaction, it will be processed by EDS, the University's online payment processor. Your payment will be reflected on your CUNYfirst account immediately. If we do not receive the electronic payment, a Bursar stop and a $20 processing fee will be added to your account. Note: only checking or savings accounts can be used.
- Pay by mail. Mail your check or money order to Baruch College, Bursar Office, One Bernard Baruch Way, Room H-810, New York, NY, 10010. Allow at least 10 days for delivery by mail.
- Pay in person by cash, check or money order at the Bursar Office, 151 East 25th Street, Room 810.
- Pay your bill by making a monthly payment through the Nelnet plan. Participation in this plan requires an application and fee. Select Enroll/Manage Payment Plan under Finances on the Student Center Page of CUNYFirst
How do I get a Federal Loan?
Matriculated U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens (green card, refugee or asylum granted) who are in good academic standing and enrolled for at least 6 credits may apply for federal loans. Prior to submitting a loan application you must file the Federal Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA). Both the link needed to apply for the PIN needed to sign the FAFSA electronically and the link to the application are available in the Financial Aid section of Baruch's website. Once the FAFSA has been processed, you will need to complete Direct Loan entrance counseling, a Direct Loan application and an electronic master promissory note. You may complete and submit the entrance counseling and electronic Direct Loan application through your CUNY portal account or by coming in to the Financial Aid Office. You may access the electronic promissory note through the Financial Aid section of Baruch's website by clicking on "Borrowing Money, Loans". You will use the same PIN that you used to sign the FAFSA to sign the entrance counseling and master promissory note.
How do I sign up for the TuitionPay plan?
Login to CUNYfirst self service and go to your Student Center. Select Finances, then Enroll/Manage Payment Plan.
How do I obtain a credit card refund?
If you paid online with your credit card, checking or savings account, a refund will automatically be processed back to the same account. Note, credit card convenience fees are not refundable.
Why is this credit card policy with convenience fee being implemented?
CUNY has found that accepting tuition payments by credit card has become prohibitively expensive because of the fees charged to CUNY for processing credit card transactions. This expense has been paid by CUNY using funds from the operating budget thus reducing the funds available for academic programs and other student services.

Josh Condie – I am sure this is a feature that a lot of us are interested in knowing about. Most of the partners that I visit (on their site), have offices full of multi-monitor setups, and not just the developers! It is truly a productivity enhancement, and Window 8 brought some nice new capabilities such as the ability to have both the Modern and Classic UI's open on separate screens. Here is another blog that is a great review of everything that went into the multi-monitor enhancements in Windows 8: Enhancing Windows 8 for Multi-Monitors
Here's even more of what Windows 8 brought to multi-screen setups:
Start. You can bring up Start on any monitor by moving your mouse to the bottom-left corner, or via the Start charm that you can invoke from the top and bottom-right corners of any monitor. Pressing the Windows key launches Start on the last monitor where Start or a Metro style app appeared. Switch back to an app from any monitor. You can switch back to an app on any monitor by moving your mouse to the top-left corner. Clicking the app thumbnail switches you back to the app on that monitor. Keyboard shortcuts. We are introducing new keyboard shortcuts that build on the shortcuts from Windows 7. Win+Pg Up or Win+Pg Dn moves Metro style apps across monitors. Win+Arrow and Win+Shift+Arrow continue to work on desktop apps as they did in Windows 7, by snapping and moving desktop windows across monitors. Drag and drop. Using the mouse, you can now drag and drop Metro Style apps across monitors. Drag and drop works for both full screen and snapped apps. Further you had the ability to extend the taskbar across all screens, customize desktop backgrounds and slideshows for all screens, and much more.
Also, here is video that was created to highlight the changes, last Fall:
*Note - You can have the Start screen and apps from the Windows Store on only one monitor at a time. When you open the Start screen, charms, or your recent apps on a different monitor, apps from the Windows Store also move to that monitor.
Windows 8.1 is going to take this to another level, as well as prepare us for the future of onscreen viewing (think 4K!!!).
Multi-tasking with Modern and desktop apps:
My favorite function in the multi-monitor support in Windows 8.1 is the ability to use numerous Modern-UI apps on all screens. That's right, you can now open and combine Modern-UI and Classic-UI apps on any screen in your monitor configuration. Basically, there is no limitation as to what goes where and how much screen real estate you can configure for it (it's just a quick slide/drag of the finger/mouse to resize).
Here's an example image of 2 monitors sharing space for many different apps, snapped into place and resizable to any width:
This combination of Classic Desktop and Modern-UI apps in snap and multi-monitor allows you to be more productive, irrespective of whether you type, click, touch or all the above.
Lastly, Microsoft has also disclosed that Windows 8.1 brings improvements to deal with high-DPI scaling issues on high-resolution displays, such as in 4K monitors, high-DPI tablets, notebooks, multi-monitor setups, and to help developers to optimize Windows 8 apps to scale automatically based on the screen DPI (dots per inch).
In conclusion, Windows 8.1 really improves the end-user perception and experience for setups with multiple monitors. From opening Classic desktop and Modern apps on any screen and with any sizing, to booting to the classic desktop, to disabling the hot corners, many things are a lot more useable with any method of input – mouse, keyboard, touch, voice, and maybe soon… gesture (think Kinect for PC).
Download 8.1 and give it try!
Josh C.
There needs to be support for apps to use more than one monitor at once, like editing apps or Google chrome, this would make my metro experience complete as currently I can only run Chrome in desktop mode as I like to multitask on multiple screens
I just discovered that you actually *can* use WinRT apps on more than one monitor at once.
The key is that the app launches on whatever monitor the Start screen launches on. The way to do that is to click the Start button, rather than pressing the Start key on the keyboard.
An alternative method is to start up all apps on the main monitor, and then move them to a different monitor.
Just upgraded to 8.1 and cannot optimize my 4 screen display resolution. Everything is messed up and all attempts to get it back to the way it was are not working. Worst thing is not that text is small or browser res looks blurry but that when I try to use screengrab software snagit, the image gets magnified as if snagit is looking at a very different sized image! Frustrated.
I'm having the same problem, Doron. Hopefully Microsoft fixes this soon because it's extremely irritating.
I had a similar issue and was able to resolve it by turning on the:
"Let me choose one scaling level for all of my displays" feature under the display settings.
The Win + Pg Up/Dn keyboard shortcut to move the Start screen and Metro apps from one monitor to another seems to have been removed in Windows 8.1. This article even mentions the shortcut, but it no longer work for me after upgrading from 8 to 8.1. HATE having to reach for the mouse to control Metro apps now.
I agree that is is a pity that the handy shortcuts for moving an app between monitors, Win+Pg Up/Dn have been removed in 8.1. Has anyone discovered an alternative yet?
I mean, as said, it is just to avoid having to use the mouse in that case: the movement from one monitor to another can rather be big and not anyone has or wants to have their mouse set to 5600 dpi or such.
Quick as possible update on this: It is Win+Shift+Left/Right. :) Wonderful!
Quick as possible update on this: It is Win+Shift+Left/Right. :) Wonderful!
LOL stupid they changed it for win 8 then changed it back stupid microsoft (same shortcut works in xp~win 7)
Unfortunately, this article is a lie. There is currently no way to launch Metro Apps onto a secondary monitor by default. You can launch say the Netflix Full Screen Metro App onto the Primary monitor and then drag it to your TV if you want. However, it will not launch onto your secondary monitor, you must drag it to the desired location. I have been trying to do this for months and have not found anyway to accomplish this.
Yes I just installed the Windows 8.1 when the upgrade was offered to me for free last night.. Now my two extended monitors magnify everything.. you can grab a window and drag it from my primary screen on my laptop and as you move it onto one of the other
screens, it's the same size as the primary screen till it gets about half way on to the extended desktop on the display.. then BAM!! it becomes almost twice as large like it's been magnified.. so text is huge and chunky and it screws up the layout in my trading
software as it tries to jam all the stuff in as it's laid out when it's on the primary display.. I checked the resolutions on those screens and it's fine.. I ensured the current drivers for my video were installed and reinstalled them.. Besides.. it's the
right size as it comes into that screen but magnifies once it's half way onto that desktop.. OK so if I just clone my primary display onto the other displays, the scaling etc is perfect.. So WTF is going on here??
OK So I think I figured it out.. on my desktop.. right click.. drop down.. at the bottom, personalize.. then select display.. the page title is "Change the size of all items" Mine was set to the mid scale, set it for small, and all is well.. awesome!!
Hi guys, how come my windows 8.1 won't even work when I set it up for dual monitors. It is a very simple instruction and I have done it with my laptop which is a vista and instantly worked. Would appreciate you help. Thank you!
Bring back dreamscenes and make it multi-monitored. I would love to have two video loops going on two different monitors at once. Just this time it needs to be more intuned to keep cpu usage down. I can't understand why this was left out of the so called multi-monitor experience, especially now that people are using large HD televisions as an extension to their desktop space or use televisions for advertising or presentations. Also, I feel, in the future most major programs will start to come over to the multi-monitor idea, as it has been shown it increases productivity.
Since 8.1 my mouse sticks between monitors (even in the middle of the screen) unless I'm moving quickly. Numerous other people also have this issue. I hope this is a bug and not a feature because it's ridiculous. There is a registry key you can change (MouseMonitorEscapeSpeed) but it just randomly reverts back to the bad behavior. Changing screens to 'duplicate' and then back to 'extend' also temporarily fixes it.

Can you smell the pineapple?
Aloha. According to George Rossi, that's Little Georgie Rossi as we like to refer to him in Syracuse, Huckleberry "Huck" and Doodle "Doo" his two Shi Tzsu pups are in the dog fight of their lives. If you don't know them yet as CNY's entry in the world wide Internet "Cutest Dog Competition," now you do. Also, you mustn't spend much time online.
Smell the pineapple? It's Huck and Doo's official catch phrase. According to Georgie, it is to remind people to keep the dream in focus through olafactory means. Rossi said if you check out the pups' Web site huckanddoo.com, {Q}he has promised to spend every penny of the winning prize money $1,000,000 on his top voters and promoters on a victory party... on the Island of Maui.{Q} That's where the real smelling the pineapple comes in, and perhaps coconut oil and roasted pig.
This week Huck and Doo again placed in the top 30 contestants out of more than 50,000 fiercely competitive entrants. This alone propelled the wee boozers into an appearance on ABC affiliate WSYR'S Bridge Street morning telecast Monday, Sept. 28.
It wont' be long folks before Huck and Doo are a household name like Nipper, Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Scooby-Doo, Pluto, Eddie and Brian.
Little Georgie said he correctly predicted that this contest would become part of the national news cycle and conversation, as evidenced by a recent post that appeared on CNN.com regarding the Colbert report and the World's Cutest Dog Competition.
Rossi said he believes Syracuse needs to be part of the national conversation to promote economic growth and strengthen a sense of community here, and he has worked tirelessly throughout his career to present opportunities to shine a national media spotlight on Syracuse.
"We, as a community, have a horse in the thick of this race," Rossi said. Well, make that two.

Skill point
Skill points, along with expertise , are granted by playing almost any content of Star Trek Online, e.g., defeating NPC or player enemies, completing missions/assignments, and so on. Skill points are comparable to "experience" of other MMORPGs in that their accumulation causes the player to level up, i.e., increase in rank.
While expertise is used to improve the abilities of your Bridge Officers amongst others, skill points can be spent in the player's skill tree (comparable to a talent tree) in order to improve and individualize your character. Points can be spent as soon as they are earned, but new columns of the tree are not unlocked until the respective rank is achieved. The skill tree ends at 366,000 , upon reaching Level 50; from Level 50 up to reaching Level 60, skill points are solely earned for the purpose of leveling up a character.
From Level 50 on, character individualization is shifted from the skill tree to the Reputation system and the Captain Specialization, with the latter system using Specialization Points, awarded at each level from 51 to 60. After reaching Level 60 (being the current level cap), Skill Points are called Specialization Experience, and can be earned indefinitely. Every 159,078 Specialization XP grants one additional Specialization Point, using the Skill Point bar to show the character's progression. Gained Skill Points/Specialization XP from space combat is also used to level Starship Mastery on Tier 5-U and Tier 6 ships.
Note[edit | edit source]
- According to this forum post, for each skill point you receive in-game the game server internally records 100 to make sure that small bonuses accumulate correctly.


text: I have schizophrenia, and apparently I am a long cycler. I developed it when I was 17, and it went into remission when I was around 21. It stayed as such and recently came back in the last few months now that I am 27. What all can I do to protect my brain, and encourage a neuroprotective situation so that unnecessary damage does not occur? I have been taking 12 fish oil tablets a day for several years along with a healthy diet, regular exercise, multivitamins and antioxidants. I just started 7mg/day abilify and it has made a major difference and I know atypical antipsychotics can protect the brain from damage from schizophrenia. Is there anything else I am missing that could prove safe and helpful at ensuring I do not suffer any kind of long term negative effects of this illness? I know tons about treatment to reduce symptoms (calcium channel blockers, antipsychotics, NMDA agonists, homocysteine & methionine reducers, etc) but not alot about neuroprotection. I know EPO, epilepsy drugs and antidepressants (antidepressants increase BDNF, which is a neurochemical necessary for brain functioning) are being looked into as neuroprotective agents in schizophrenia. People have been taking things like lamotrigine or prozac for years now, so I'm assuming they are relatively safe. There is research into using epilepsy drugs like topamax and lamotrigine to slow the progress of various neurodegenerative diseases and traumas. Right now I'm brainstorming ideas to talk to a doctor about, if anyone has anything to add I'd like to hear it.

Legendary trainers collide in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – Not only will two of the top fighters in the world compete in the main event Saturday, but they'll be handled by arguably the two best trainers working today: Nacho Beristain and Freddie Roach.
And as different as they may be, the trainers agree that work will be over once Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao step into the ring. They'll become little more than spectators.
"Everybody wants to make it Freddie Roach against me," Beristain said. "But that is wrong. It is Manny Pacquiao against Juan Manuel Marquez. Once that bell rings, we have nothing to do it with it."
Beristain leaned back in his chair, patted his (relatively) flat midsection and all but sneered.
"I feel like [expletive]," the 72-year-old Hall of Fame boxing trainer growled.
For the past three months, Beristain hasn't been able to do what he has done virtually every day for about a half century: run five miles.
Beristain has been preparing Marquez to face Pacquiao on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in a welterweight title bout that is one of the year's most significant. And a half dozen of his other fighters are also competing in noteworthy bouts. He's got precious little time to do anything but work in his gym and watch tapes. Much of his time has been spent getting Marquez ready to meet Pacquiao, boxing's pound-for-pound champion.
[ Related: The Ring's Pacquiao-Marquez preview ]
Marquez fought a pair of excruciatingly close bouts against Pacquiao, drawing in 2004 and dropping a split decision in 2008. Another loss to Pacquiao, close or otherwise, and Marquez will run out of chances.
And so Beristain, one of the game's unheralded great trainers, the maker of 21 male world champions and two female champions, has thrown himself headlong into his work. Every waking moment, it seems, has been about finding a way to help Marquez defeat Pacquiao.
Daily run be damned.
Even when he gets to run these days, it isn't as exhilarating, not since he was inducted last year into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Now, whenever he runs, his solitude is interrupted by well-wishers and glad-handers.
"I go running by and they all yell, 'Hey, Hall of Famer! Beristain, way to go!' " Beristain said. "They want to talk, or shake hands, just be around you. But I've got a lot to do. This Hall of Fame isn't exactly what I wanted."
Across the ring Saturday, Beristain will peer at a much younger man who will almost certainly be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012. Freddie Roach, 51, has trained Pacquiao for more than 10 years and has developed him into perhaps the most fearsome fighting machine on the planet.
Roach is a humble sort, even though his handlers are trying desperately to make him a star. Cameras follow him everywhere, reporters hang on his every word and HBO is planning a series on Roach's life beginning in January.
Roach has won the Trainer of the Year Award three years in a row, four times in the last five years and five times overall.
His mentor, Eddie Futch, won it in 1991 and 1992, when he was 80 and 81 years old. The Boxing Writers Association of America didn't create the award until 1989. Had it been given out when Futch started training, he might have a few dozen.
"There's never been a trainer like Eddie," Roach said.
The statistics would say that there is no trainer like Roach. When fighters develop bad habits, their managers send them to Roach. When mixed martial arts fighters want to learn to box, they seek out Roach.
Bruce Trampler, a Hall of Famer himself and arguably the greatest matchmaker in boxing history, said if he has a young fighter he wants to be developed properly, he'll send him to Roach.
Beristain comes from a well-to-do Mexican family. His father was solidly middle class and his mother came from a wealthy family. She was horrified when she learned that her teen-age son had turned to boxing.
She tried desperately to convince him to do something else with his life, but he was fascinated with the fight game and wouldn't be swayed.
He was a flyweight who won some significant amateur tournaments in Mexico and then went 13-1-2 as a pro before retiring in 1959. His passion for boxing remained, however, and he became a trainer good enough to coach Mexico in the Olympics in 1968, 1976 and 1980.
In those days, the Cubans and the former Soviet Union were dominant teams and Beristain admired their styles. He studied intently and built his own philosophy around what he learned from them, adapting it for the professional game.
Three of his fighters, Ricardo "Finito" Lopez, Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez and Daniel Zaragoza, have been elected to the Hall of Fame.
His style relies upon three basic tenets: footwork, making the hands and feet work in unison and learning to throw combinations.
Marquez said Beristain is a perfectionist who isn't pleased if a training session becomes sloppy or if Marquez isn't paying close attention to his technique.
"He is always trying to make everything perfect and he gets very mad [if it's not]," Marquez said. "That's why I like to train with him."
Roach, who as a fighter in the 1980s went 40-13 and was more tough than talented, has nearly perfected Pacquiao. When Pacquiao arrived by chance at Roach's Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, Calif., in 2001, he was blazingly fast and generated extraordinary power because of his quickness.
But he was far from a complete fighter. He was left-hand dominant and rarely used his right hand. His footwork was a mess and he didn't put his punches together particularly well.
They'd spend hours in the ring working on the most basic of concepts and pore over fight films, trying to discover and correct flaws.
"Freddie helped me to always keep working on my technique to get better," Pacquiao said.
Their contributions to the outcome Saturday may lay in the plan they devised. Both Beristain and Roach watched video of the fighters for hours upon hours, rewinding and watching the same segments.
They're looking for little tip-offs that they could make a difference. The result of the fight, and the balance of power within the sport, could hinge on what they noticed.
"Nacho has had great results with his fighters and obviously, he's good at what he does," Roach said. "The thing is, who will come up with the better game plan for this fight, me or him? I feel I got my guy 100 percent ready for whatever Marquez might bring.
"He's been a counter puncher throughout his career, but he's been more aggressive, more TV-friendly, in his last couple of fights. He's put a lot of muscle on, too, and when you put muscle on, is it for counter punching and speed? No. It's for exchanging and fighting toe-to-toe. I think I have a little bit of insight into what they're thinking. I told Manny I think he's going to come out quick. So we have a good sense of what they'll do and of what we need to do."
What they each need to do is win, Pacquiao to preserve the possibility of a super fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marquez to hopefully get one more big payday before he's through.
Beristain is the father of three girls and a boy, all of whom have college degrees. One of his daughters has a doctorate in economics and another is studying for her Ph.D in economics. His wife, he said, has three degrees "and thinks she's the smartest one in the family."
But he said it's not going to be his smarts or Roach's smarts that carry the day.
"Whoever wins, [the media] will try to say that I had something to do with it or that Freddie Roach had something to do with it," Beristain said. "I disagree. When you have good fighters and they're in good shape, you look like you're a lot smarter than you really are."

This may have already been asked, but I see a lot of posts on whether a horse is bay or brown and I get confused. I was taught that any horse with an agouti factor was bay to some extent from seal bay (At), bay (A), and blood bay (A+) with color restriction going from least restrictive to most restrictive.
So am I wrong on these colors or is it something that varies from breed to breed and place to place? (ie. Rabbits and being either black tort or sooty fawn, same color, called different things in US vs. UK).
If I'm not wrong on the genes and it is something that just depends on where you live or what breed you raise could someone help me on, for example, which situation it is okay to call a horse brown or seal bay? Also how much restriction is the line between brown and bay? Are only A+ agouti factor horses considered bay or does it depend on the strength of the particular A agouti factor on a specific horse to depend on whether it's brown or bay?
Sorry if my wording is too confusing, I'm just a little lost on the subject, lol.

So my 5 month 2 week son is teething. He's miserable. Even daycare called him grumpy yesterday. The teething I can deal with. We have all kind of teether aparati, and even a good old fashioned washed parent finger stuck in some ice water seems to provide some relief (you can actually feel the outline of the tooth).
However, this is the wisdom I need. I still suffer from NNS (NICU Number Syndrome) where I still watch pretty heavily his daily volume. It probably has something to do with the reflux and not making hydration. Anyway, the past 2 weeks our volume increased so substantially that we took 28.5 ounces one day and I cried cause that was a new record. However, now that this teething thing has kicked in, we are back to scraping along to hit hydration (19) and sometimes 21oz. We are starting to work a little rice cereal in with the leftover formula in the bottles he doesn't finish, so I know that fills him up a bit more.
On top of that, he's started sleeping throught the night. He falls asleep between 7 and 8, we wake him at 10/11 to try one more bottle or to atleast change his clothes (since we are not smart and he seems to fall asleep in what he wore to daycare first) and then sleeps till anywhere from 5-6. Its the longest chunk I've had since his birth. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but we are still riding that 5% for weight and I would like him to continue eating.
Will the eating pick back up? Should I be worried? How long to teeth freaking take???
Thank you Thank you, I'm trying to be a more patient mom.

Haha!, I see what you mean. >_< I didn't forget the teeth, I had it drawn when i was still drawing the lineart. but i removed it coz i kind of didn't want the teeth sticking out. >_<

Awsome! Would learn a lot if you made some tutorials thou
Btw amazingly nice drawing there
I like to imagine that I see this out of a window on a plane. I'm all like "Oh shit...". Lol Rayquaza looks hell badass.
Is that sand or water in the canyon? If it's water I think it would look more dramatic if it was a slightly darker shade of blue than the sky. Just my opinion.

A Pew Research study released last month notes that nearly one out of three kids between 12 and 17 years old send over a 100 text messages a day. And four out of five teens say they sleep with their cell phones or keep them near their beds. OK, so kids that age are hardly your target audience. You'd be willing to bet that adults are all thumbs when it comes to texting. Well, you lose that wager.

"I am so happy with the redesign. You've exceeded my expectations and it's been a great experience working with Aaron, the designer. I felt like we were well matched. The site reflects the aesthetic I was trying to create and everything was done rather quickly. The channels of communication were open, I could tell I was being listened to and I think the cohesion of my site reflects that.

I often quote much of what I learned not only to others, but to myself as well as a reminder to stay on track. I've taken the webinar twice and will purchase it if ever made available on dvd. I can't recommend it highly enough."– Ian McKown

I know this is a repeat of other posts but this is my questions.
Is it better to start with hidden dairy or cheese (I don't like drinking just milk)?
My lo 7 and a half months. Am tempted just to eat some cheese - as far as I know I haven't slipped up in the 5 months I've been dairy/soy free. So far I have reintroduced foods with soy oil and soy lecithin and he hasn't had any issues. Also my lo other than mucusy/bloody stool only had eczema I don't think he was ever that fussy although maybe I didn't notice thought it wasn't that bad. So since he is on solids I won't be able to see if there is blood in his stool guess I will just have to go by eczema.
Any advice would be wonderful.

"Wonderful peaceful stay in the heart of the Tuscan countryside"
The apartment at Radicondoli was wonderful. Just perfect for our requirements. It had everything you could need (except an ironing board). It was exceptionally clean, had an amazing shower and 2 lovely bedrooms, one with an outstanding view of the countryside. The apartments were converted buildings which had been done up to a very high standard. The complex also had a lovely, clean swimming pool, which we used nearly every day of our stay. Although we didn't have our own courtyard to our apartment, we could use any of the tables and chairs in the gardens. There were quite a lot of steps in the apartment, so it wouldn't be easy for people with disabilities. It was kind of the owners to provide a complimentary breakfast on our first morning, which was very tasty, this enabled us to meet another family who were staying also. The owners were around most of the time, so if any questions arose, we could ask their advice etc, and they were lovely. The village of Radicondoli was a short walk (approx 15 mins) up a hill where we found 3 restaurants, we ate in La Pergola, which had a fabulous view of the countryside and the food was good and also Il Grande and the food there was great. The village only had a few shops, no freshly baked bread, but we found a supermarket nearby (Casole Van d'Elsa) which had everything you could need. Overall, we had a lovely, relaxing stay. I would recommend bringing a car to enable you to visit some of the places nearby, but there were plenty of bus stops around, but we didn't use the buses so I can't vouch for them!

Its me, - Head of the (drum roll) Critique Department!
Sorry for the two month long delay in the critique department newsletter.
So far, we've critiqued 576 deviations thus far. And we've seen a big spectrum of works here. So today's going to be nothing more than a mosaic of the works which have been critiqued by the team.

Bel Air of Red RosesWhen my time comes,
I will finally be free from the evil of this world.
I will be ready.
Take me to the Lord.
Please let me in,
Into the pearly white gates.
I want in,
To see the faces of my beloved.
I want to roam the golden paved streets,
Sing in harmony with the angels,
Live in the mansions.
I want to experience the foretold place.
Let me in the clouds,
The light mist of Bel Air.
Breathe in the fumes of holy,
And relax after the long, past life.
Do not deny me entrance,
I will not let this happen.
Gargoyles of stone,
Do not mock me.
Tilt head back,
Eye lids close,
Lay back. Please grant me my halo.
Welcome home.
Da dam la di da,
Ah ah ah,
Ohhhh, oooooo,
Dreams do come true.
Butterfly LoveThis is my memory of us.:thumb444833136:
About me
For you.
I meet you.
The butterfly takes shape within the first clasp of our hands,
Molded unknowingly by our fingers,
Its early wings unwittingly cut out of our first startled glance.
Its body builds itself alive in our awareness of each other.
It wants to fly in fearful recognition
Between us,
I think.
It briefly stutters into existence,
While we awkwardly talk at each other
And we make accidental and fleeting connections,
That we sever almost immediately.
It stills and waits when we look away
And it flares in a brief, passing touch.
Its wings unfurl unbearably in my chest
Struggling to burst out.
I cannot breathe because I can't stop smiling.
My hands are trembling
And so am I.
I feel we don't have together at the same time,
Even if we have each other in the same place.
We birth and destroy imaginary, separate swarms,
Flinging them outward and upward,
Their confused bodies with incomplete wings
Shredding into each other senselessly,
LoveWhat does love mean to you?
Love is a bond that doesn't break,
No matter the stress,
Or whatever the stakes.
It's a bond of trust and love,
Where care is easily found,
And on that day where hearts meet,
Together you are bound.
Days, months, years later,
On that altar fine,
Those few words that you will never forget are said,
"You may kiss the bride."
A life of love,
And a love of life,
Together you'll stand,
And together you'll get through all of life's strife.
No matter what happens,
No matter what life does,
You'll be together,
Just like two doves.
SurrenderThere are words I don't recognize
on the walls of my contentment.
I'm not sure what language they're in
or who wrote them, but I do know
that they say something about surrender.
I've given up more times
than I've given anything else.
That's how you found me. Curled up,
knees to my chest, trembling. And you
in your good nature mistook my weakness
for prayer.

Can I hear your words like those blowing tender winds?
Can I hear your whispers like the crisper leaves on Autumn months?
Can I feel your skin as soft as smoother grass?
Can I feel your tears like a rainy day?
Can I see your face again to wipe away those pouring tears?
Can I hear your cries, so I can sever all the lies?
Can I hear your screams, so I can fix them in our dreams?
Can I feel your wrath, so I can change my path?
Can I feel your pain, so I can rid of me this bane?
Can I tell you all my guilt?
Can I tell you all the nightmares that persisted from my guilt?
Can I tell you all the sorrow that I feel, as I watch you breaking down from all the quarrels that we had?
Can I touch you once again, so I can feel the strength that gives me all the power that I need?
Can I touch you once again, that I can break away the chains that hold the truer man inside me?
Can I ask you once again for your forgiveness?

Blood blossoming out my chest
Numbing cold eliminates my heat

Tell me you're joking.We are not binary stars:thumb395248388:
Destined to revolve around each other
Even after death.
We don't have dragon hearts,
And eyes of galaxies
Consumed by fire.
We don't even have lovely, lonely, sailor bones.
We're just a car crash in the middle of somewhere
Carcasses fallen long ago in the dirt
Dream dust flowing from cuts all over.
But we still keep walking
And walking,and walking.
I've forgotten how to taste the sea
And sleep within the moon.
All I can remember
Is that the stars
And that I knew
Once upon a time,
That there was a difference
Between being dead
And alive.

NaPoWriMo Day 8Fine Autumn had come, coloured the leaves red;
Winter tethered a kiss upon her cheek,
as Constellations crept upon her bed.

Each season falls to greet the next in flow

A place to lay my headSo far I have traveled
So much blood has been shed

A place to lay my head

Completely driven by my anger
But I am not the same

Allow me just one full night of peace
Just a mattress and a cover

Let Me Tell You A StoryLet Me Tell You A Story
A little girl once walked though the world,
and the world let her keep her head up high.
Soon she found out that if she bent her head only a little,
the world would let her skip.
She skipped and skipped until one day she discovered that when she fell,
bending it down just a slight bit lower eased the pain.
Pressure built as she traveled through her years,
until she discovered by bending just a little bit lower, the pressure was easier to handle.
Every time something became too much she would bend just a little lower,
the change not because she was beat down, but because she succumbed.
Now she falls down into a sweeping bow, shoulders drooped, eyes lowered, head fixed on the floor,
when the world decides to let her look up again.
The air allows for her to rise the same amount she fell when she was young,
before the last gust knocks her to her knees.
No other time before now has she known what a mistake the first fall was,
but no other time before now did she appr

Dubai, pearl of the Persian Gulf, a modern metropolis, is famous for its oil and free trade zone. It is situated in far North-East of the United Arab Emirates. In cosmic view the city has a form of a short, but very wide strip stretching throughout the coast of the Gulf.
The city is divided by a creek in two parts: Old Dubai or, as the people call it, Deira and New Dubai, which arose from sand in less than a decade. To the North from Dubai stands a city named Sharjah, the capital of another emirate.
Here prices are low and life is luxury. You can call the city "heaven". Skyscrapers, shopping centers, souks, restaurants, fast-food chains, bazaars and others can be found in this oil rich oasis. There are many modern famous places people visit here, like Burj-Khalifa, the highest building ever built, artificial islands called "The World" and "Palm Islands", Dubai Mall Aquarium, Atlantis Hotel and ect. Traders often visit the Gold Souk. It is obvio

Precious BloodRed tears fall to the ground,:thumb351950408:
blood-red rain covering the surroundings.
An Angel's tears, precious blood,
dribbling a
Wasted on mankind, the poison on Earth.
Her wings crossed,
protecting her against the evil outside,
forgetting the evilness she let in her heart.
She's crying, letting her tears fall.
She weeps her precious blood for the useless mankind.
Gabriel's sword's gonna taste blood tonight,
blood harvested from mankind.
The Sacred Reaper watching, filled with hatred, over man.
My Eleventh Hour
I. Prologue: Self-Exile to Purgatory
With my eyes shut tight, I heard a terrible screeching sound.
It came from above and below, left and right, the sensation of a sphere surrounding me.
I dared not open my eyes for fear of what would be found.
It came again, its echo scraping the courage from every muscle and every bone.
The screech possessed the piquancy of steel dragging its edge across hard stone.
I lingered inside myself for a while, ignorant of my current situation,
Searching for some opinion or belief based upon solid predication.
I found only a fringe area of my mind linking me to an uncertain actuality,
A fragment of information dormant and in a state of certain fragility:
My name was Justin, wasn't it?
And now, knowing this, I face finality.
Brought here by my own doing,
To escape from all my pains,
The pills coursing through my veins,
The rope holding tight around my limp figure,
I know I had done a terrible thing,
Sacrificing my joy, laughter, and spark of vigor,
Happy submitting, folks. We're happy to serve Cheers.
