Review of Intuit Website Builder
Everyone wants, and needs, to have a good looking and well functioning website for their idea or business. These days, having an online presence is a must for any idea or business large or small, but not everyone wants to necessarily pay an arm and a leg to have a website built. That's where website builders can come into play and one that is worth a look is Intuit website builder.
Getting Started
Getting started with Intuit website builder is a fairly straightforward process. Intuit offers a free 30-day trial which gives you access to all the bells and whistles that you would have with a paid account. Once the free trial offer is over, you can decide to continue on with eh service for as little as $4.99 per month or you can stop and owe nothing.
Of course the price only starts at $4.99 a month and if you want a bigger website, you will have to pay for it. Intuit has three major plans that all come with different levels of service and you should look carefully at all of them to be sure you are getting everything you will need from Intuit should you decide to use them.
Within a few minutes you can be working on your website with Intuit. All you need to do to get started is to provide them with some very basic information that will include your name, an e-mail address, a user name, a password, a security question, and finally what type of website you want to launch. You then have to put in payment information in the form of a credit card and you are all set.
Remember, the free trial is for 30-days and if you do not let them know that you don't wish to continue, they will automatically charge your credit card, so be sure you know what you want to do before the free trial is over. After three weeks of using the program, you should have a good idea if you like it or not and that will leave you enough time to make the decision that is best for you.
Choosing Your Design
Intuit offers over 2,000 templates for you to select from for your website design. The template is sort of like a house that has no furniture in it yet. You decide on a design you like and then fill it full of everything that is yours.
The templates are separated in several different ways. You can browse according to website topic, business type, and more. This makes finding a base template to use very easy and allows you a solid foundation to work with.
Once you have selected your template, you can mess with it however you see fit. You can change some colors around and even some of the style. This is good to do as it will separate your website from anyone else's who might be using the same template, but try not to get too carried away with the process as it is easy to get lost with your customization efforts.
Filling in the Blanks – Two Interfaces
Intuit offers you two separate ways in which you can 'fill in the blanks' that the template will leave. When you fill in these blanks, you are simply putting in all the information about your idea or business that will make the actual website your website.
The first type of interface is one that is easier for the everyday person to use. Referred to as 'SiteBuilder Lite,' it is much more user friendly and requires very little technical knowledge to use. SiteBuilder Lite is the default interface that you will automatically be sent to when you use Intuit as the majority of people are apt to feel less intimidated with it.
SiteBuilder Lite is basically a point and click application as well as drag and drop. Working with both text and using some of the free stock photos that Intuit provides, the average person should be able to shape their website in very little time with minimal effort. While there is not much to get confused about, Intuit does have video tutorials should you need any help along the way with SiteBuilder Lite.
The second, and much more advanced, interface offered by Intuit is called 'SiteBuilder.' This is the full version and in order to get it, you have to download the software onto your computer. While the download is free, you cannot download it if you are using a Mac, which comes as one of the drawbacks with using Intuit website builder.
The full version of SiteBuilder is similar in many ways to the 'Lite' version. For example, there is still the ease of drag and drop as well as point and click. However, the main difference is that you are able to take advantage of many powerful tools including:
• Hit Counter
• Video
• Forum
• Guest Book
• Polls
• Chat Rooms
• Background Color Modification
• More
Both interfaces work well, though beginners should probably stick with the 'Lite' version, at least at first. As you can try the service for 30-days free, you can easily use both interfaces and see which one you think will work better for you.
Help With Intuit
Intuit offers various ways for you to solve any problems you might have along the way. The best way to solve a problem that crops up is by searching through their vast frequently asked questions, or FAQ, section where you will find many answers to common questions, maybe even yours.
You can also try looking at their video tutorials for help and see if there is one pertaining to your particular problem. Additionally, you can access their customer support team via a toll free phone number, even with the free trial. The number does eventually get you to a real live person and is limited on the automation.
Intuit Extras
Intuit offers a wide range of extras that can help you take your website to the next level. While the extras will help you with your website and its visibility, they will also cost you. So, you need to weigh out what you do and do not need in the way of extras. Some of Intuit's helpful extras include:
• Ecommerce: You can use an add-on with Intuit's premier plan called 'SimpleStore,' but be warned. As the name implies, this is only a simple store and is not very good if you have a lot of items to sell. If you only have a handful of items to sell though, it is handy to have and not all that difficult to use.
• Web Listings: For an additional charge, Intuit will make sure that your website gets listed on Google Maps, Yahoo Local, and other similar places. While this is not all that hard to do yourself, it may be worth it to you to have the work done for you for a little bit of money.
• E-Mail Marketing: E-mail marketing can be a great way to stay in touch with your e-mail list and if you have a list that needs attention, Intuit offers you a relatively affordable way to give it the attention it deserves. While the company says it handles everything in the legal manner, and there is no reason to believe otherwise, the price is not all that much lower than some other e-mail marketing companies that only deal with e-mail marketing.
• Design Service: If you look on Intuit's website you will see that they also offer to design your website for you. While the price is not cheap by any means, it is cheaper than what most 'pros' would charge, by far. However, if you view some of the sample sites that their designers have put together, some are good and some are just average. It really seems as though they only go through the process of using SiteBuilder for you, but for the price, you are probably better off doing it yourself. With the ease of use and lots of support, there is no reason you can't.
Intuit Web Builder in Review
If you have an idea or business that you want to get online and you want to do so in a fast and affordable way, then you definitely want to go with a website builder. Intuit website builder is a service that seems to have a lot more to offer over other comparable website builders, such as more templates to choose from and many free stock photos, and their prices are in line with the average price in the industry.
What makes Intuit appealing is their 30-day free trial. This allows you time to actually dive in feet first and begin to tinker with all that the service has to offer. Once you have tried it out for an honest amount of time, you can then decide if Intuit website builder services are the right choice for you or if you should continue to look elsewhere.

- great site builder ~ October 2nd, 2010 at 8:07 am
It's really simple to create a website with intuit. I just made a website to help me coordinate events for an upcoming family reunion. I suppose if you needed a complicated site this may not be the website builder to choose, but for a small business, wedding, hobby site, etc it's perfect. I have tried many website builders and nothing compares to intuit.

Intuit charges you for the same thing you can get for free if you use Blogger or WordPress. of course you cant get your own domain with wordpress or blogger. But if you like the feel of a TurboTax like software, you'll feel right at home with the Intuit website builder. Just know that their software is just one of several dozen DIY website builders out there.
- Joel Nielsen ~ May 25th, 2011 at 10:10 am
I made the fatal mistake of buying my domain name from Intuit. I renewed it through another site but Intuit would not unlock it and release it to me. My website has been down for 6 days.
Intuit shuffles all of their website problems over to homestead and then shruggs their shoulders when something needs to be fixed in their end. The best part is that no one and I mean NO ONE has a contact number to Homestead. Even the Office of the President at Intuit can't get ahold of them.
Do yourself a favor and build your site on WordPress
- Geri Allen ~ June 20th, 2011 at 12:44 am
I didnt like it. I thought it was easy enough to use, but I found it to be frustratingly limited and sadly primitive. The extras are good. But, the site builder is a bore…would have been prehistoric 5yrs ago. Still, its a good place to start. Just don't stay long.
- Terrible ~ October 4th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
Used Intuit sitebuilder in the past with no problems. But they recently came out with a new version which is terrible. Problems getting pages to load in order to edit. Even problems opening the help section. (keeps prompting to enable cookies; doing so doesn't help). They removed many of the helpful tools such as grid and ruler, that made things very easy in the earlier version. No borders, no forum, many things have been removed from this newer version. Am looking for another website builder. This newer version is simply way too frustrating.

My name is Stacey Buchanan from Buchanan LP Gas Company in Travelers Rest SC. I am a large independly owned Propane company and this year I started a new website with Intuit. We started building our store at the end of May which was a absolute nightmare finally about mid July our website appeared for the first time. Weeks past and we are trying to find some small signs of our existance on the internet. At the first of October my keywords that had been submitted to Intuit could not even be found on the last page much less anywhere near the first page. I understand it takes 3 to 6 months for optimization to complete but I find it strange that I cant even be found on the back of the bus. My last phone call in October I found out that my optimization didnt start until after the first of September I find this to be very unprofessional the website was started 2 months before the begining of optimization. I hope everyone reads this review because this is not a web host for a professional business it is a sad day for me because it is getting cold and it is time for my business to get started you cant sell propane and gas logs in the summer. Please everyone beware of this company it is all empty promises I will have to change my site and web host as soon as the winter is over. Sincerely, Stacey Buchanan President of Buchanan LP Gas Inc.

As others have said the web infrastructure is extremely limiting. I paid for customization, got some of what I was looking for then other areas such as custom pages, they renamed their template pages but never told me which of my custom corresponded to their template renames……..two hours to figure this out. My latest frustration is that Intuit is not intuitive when it comes to Google AdWords or Google Base. I've had to troubleshoot some of my own issues because response from "support" is either inadequate or they are just too bloody slow in response. Over all if you don't know ANYTHING about eCommerce it is a way to get your biz out in the ether. But if you want something more than a shopping cart and a semi-static web catalog—-keep looking. You will be very very disappointed you invested your time and money.

I started to sign up but quit. First, they wanted to charge per month to keep my registration information hidden. They gave a whole list of scary things that could happen to me if I didn't pay. Then I had to agree to the terms and conditions for domain name registration. It was many pages long, full of legal terms I didn't want to research, and bound me to legal arbitration.
Forget it!
- Mark Dixxon ~ November 21st, 2011 at 4:50 am
We tried one of Intuit's templates for our church, and decided to quit because we didn't like it. They kept our domain name FOR ONE YEAR and REFUSED to transfer it to our new host. They DELETED our website and replaced it with their ad instead, using our domain to direct traffic to their site. What a horrible thing to do. We will NEVER recommend them to anyone. We are now very happy with our new host. They have awesome and easy to use website installers in their control panel. Just a few clicks and boom your site is online.
- Elizabeth ~ January 10th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Intuit charges you $1 per month NOT to release your confidential information: name, address, email
Found this out the hard way while helping a client buy a domain name and build an Intuit hosted website. So when it says $4.99 per month for the domain and $2 a month for hosting services, tack on another $1 per month to keep your personal information safe from spammers, telemarketers etc.!!!
- Heather ~ March 11th, 2013 at 10:51 am
I needed an online store for my gift/embroidery business. I found the design process disjointed and cumbersome from the beginning.
The use of the store once its live is actually quite easy. My largest bit of frustration comes from the really long wait times from the Help Desk, and the fact that you cannont suspend service for more than 2 weeks without your entire site being deleted. I have some cirucmstances that will not allow me to work on my store for awhile. So, do I let go of the $1700 site? OR continue to pay all of their fees to keep it from being deleted? I would NOT recommend Intuit. I have many friends using other sites that are much more afforable, accessable and have better policies. Shop around!
- Glenn Luttrell ~ March 31st, 2013 at 9:16 am
I felt Homestead (Intuit) was a good way to build my own site. I prefer building my site from scratch, no templates. Homestead offered enough design elements to make a good site. But, now that I use Verizon wifi, 4g LTE hotspot, to get online I can no longer access Homestead. I cannot design my site or even access them. Verizon acknowledged the problem but offers no fix. Homestead (Intuit) simply said it wasn't their problem. Yes, it is your problem. If you can't be accessed by customers who wants to deal with you. The many reviews saying Homestead (Intuit) is a dinosaur are true.

Complete 2011 Baseball All-Ivy Release
Editor's Note: This article was updated on May 16, 2011, to reflect an internal tabulation error in awarding the 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year.
represented among the 2011 Ivy League baseball top individual
awards as voted on by the League's eight head coaches. Yale
first baseman Trey Rallis (La Canada, Calif.) was
named Player of the Year, Penn right-handed pitcher Paul
Cusick (Wilmington, Del.) was named Pitcher of the Year
and Princeton first RHP/first baseman Mike Ford
(Belle Mean, N.J.) was voted the Rookie of the Year.
Rallis, also the lone unanimous selection to the All-Ivy first team, becomes the first Bulldog to earn Player of the Year honors since Marc Sawyer in 2006. The senior first baseman closed out his final season as a Bulldog as one of just three Ivies to bat over .360 for the season, ranking second at .365. He had 54 hits in 41 games played, including a dozen doubles and four home runs, while knocking in 30 runs. At first base, he was nearly flawless, collecting 341 putouts and 19 assists to go along with just two errors for a .994 fielding percentage.
Cusick, the Quakers' ace with a 2.70 ERA and 5-3 record, becomes the first Penn player to earn the League's top pitching honor since Ed Haughey in 1995. He is also just the fourth all-time Quaker to be named Pitcher of the Year. The senior hurler had a League-best 48 strikeouts in Ivy games, while also leading the League with 80 overall strikeouts. He tossed four complete games and held opponents to a .230 batting average. Cusick earned three of his five wins in Ivy play and fanned a career high dozen batters in two of those wins.
Ford has been one of the key players in Princeton's success this season -- showing his versatility on the mound, in the field and at the plate. The rookie two-way player was a member of the Tigers' regular weekend rotation, going 5-3 in 10 starts and four complete games. He compiled a 4.12 ERA, the second lowest on the Tiger staff, while striking out 37 in 63.1 innings. In games he did not pitch, Ford was in the field as Princeton's starting first baseman. Between the two positions he collected 243 putouts, 17 assists and just five errors for a .981 fielding percentage.
At the plate, Ford was the Tigers' third best hitter, batting at a .299 clip. He showed good power as a rookie, collecting nine doubles, one triple and three home runs.
Eighteen players were voted onto the first-team All-Ivy, led by five from Gehrig Division runner-up Penn and four from Rolfe Division champion Dartmouth.
Joining Cusick from Penn were catcher Will Davis (Atlanta, Ga.), third baseman Dan Williams (Southhampton, N.J.), outfielder Greg Zebrack (Northridge, Calif.) and designated hitter Spencer Branigan (Ross, Calif.). Davis was one of the Quakers' top offensive threats, batting .304 and ranking second on the team with a .565 slugging percentage. He led all Ivies with 16 doubles, while also adding six home runs and 27 RBIs.
One of just three repeat first team selections from 2010, Williams hit .288 for the season. He ranked second on the team with 153 at-bats, and finished with 44 hits, including nine doubles, one triple and three home runs, while also leading the squad with 28 RBIs. Zebrack was another key factor to the Quakers leading the Ivies in batting average (.318) during League play, while also hitting .297 overall. The sophomore outfielder hit .336 with 46 hits, including 11 doubles and a team-high seven home runs. He slugged a team-high .596 while also showing speed on the base paths, tying for the team-lead with nine stolen bases.
Rounding out Penn's first team selections was the designated hitter Branigan. The sophomore hit at a .296 clip for the season and had 15 extra-base hits on his way to a .528 slugging percentage.
It was no surprise that Dartmouth, the League-leader in team ERA (3.97), had a trio of pitchers named to the first team, led by starters Kyle Hendricks (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Cole Sulser (Santa Ysabel, Calif.). The pair of junior right-handers provided a one-two punch every weekend for the Big Green, combining for a 9-4 record in 2011. Hendricks ranked third among all Ivies with a 2.47 ERA in nine starts, including four complete games. He fanned a career-high 15 batters in just seven innings for his first win of the season, an 11-2 final against Army on March 18, and finished the year with 70 strikeouts to go along with just 11 walks. Sulser ranked No. 5 in the League with a 2.59 ERA and held opposing batters to a .220 average, the lowest among Dartmouth's regular starters.
Out of the bullpen, Big Green closer Ryan Smith (Greenlawn, N.Y.) earned first team All-Ivy honors as the League's top relief pitcher. The right-handed senior was second among all Ivy pitchers with four saves, including two in League play. He fanned 31 batters in just 29.2 innings pitched, while giving up just 28 hits and eight walks.
The fourth Big Green player to earn first team selection was shortstop Joe Sclafani (Palm City, Fla.). A second team All-Ivy selection in 2010 and the League's Rookie of the Year in 2009, Sclafani proved to be a force to reckon with at the plate this spring. He hit .349 for the season, collecting a League-high 60 hits, including 12 doubles, eight triples and four home runs. His eight three-baggers were a League high and a Dartmouth single-season record.
Columbia Lions Dario Pizzano (Saugus, Mass.), Jason Banos (Lynnfield, Mass.) and Nick Cox (Lake Mary, Fla.) dominated the outfield positions on the All-Ivy first team. The three led the Lions' offense all season long, batting .359, .323 and .353, respectively. The 2010 Co-Rookie of the Year, Pizzano is the second of three players to earn repeat first team honors this spring. His .359 batting average was fourth best in the League, while his .654 slugging percentage ranked No. 1. Banos banged out nine doubles and six home runs while knocking in 30 runs. Cox added 15 extra-base hits while also ranking second in the League with 18 stolen bases. The trio were near flawless fielding their positions, combining for 204 putouts, seven assists and just one error.
Rolfe Division runner-up Yale earned a pair of first team selections, including the lone unanimous selection and Player of the Year Trey Rallis. Joining Rallis on the first team was classmate Vinny Lally (Tampa, Fla.). The senior southpaw ranked among the League's top starters, going 5-1 with a 2.54 ERA and 70 strikeouts. He made 13 appearances, including 10 starts, tossing four complete games and a League best two shutouts.
The final team to place multiple players on the first team was Harvard, as senior starting pitcher Max Perlman (Longwood, Fla.) and junior second baseman Jeff Reynolds (St. Petersburg, Fla.) each earned the first All-Ivy honors of their careers. Despite his team's 9-36 record, and just a 2-5 record of his own, Perlman led the League with a 1.80 ERA, representing the only regular starter to hold an earned run average under two. Perlman's lone Ivy win was one of his finest outings as he fanned 10, walked one and scattered four hits in a nine-inning, complete-game shutout of Yale on April 22.
Reynolds, meanwhile, was the Crimson's leader at the plate, batting a team-high .301. He led Harvard with 163 at-bats and 49 hits, and ranked second in doubles with 11 and RBIs with 19.
Rounding out the 2011 first team were Princeton's Sam Mulroy (Bethesda, Md.) and Cornell's Mickey Brodsky (Encino, Calif.). Mulroy, a junior catcher/utility player, was a driving force behind the Tigers completing the regular-season with a 23-22 overall record, a 15-5 Ivy mark and the Ivy League Championship Series title. The junior led Princeton at the plate, boasting a .324 batting average and .547 slugging percentage. He collected 55 hits, including 11 doubles, three triples and seven home runs, while also successfully stealing 13 bases in 15 attempts. Behind the plate, Mulroy caught 14 runners on attempted steals.
Brodsky represented the third repeat first team selection from 2010, being voted onto the team in the utility position both seasons. The senior split his playing time between the outfield, first base and designated hitter. One of just two Big Red players to start all 40 games, Brodsky batted .311 with team highs of 151 at-bats, 47 hits, eight doubles and 29 RBIs.

Faust's latest Cab is ready to go today. Gentle menthol notes mix with overtones of rhubarb and a touch of vanilla. The body starts off with a touch of vegetal character, but this dissolves into more classic Napa Cab notes: rich currants, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry on the back end. Long and fruit-forward finish, with those vanilla notes working remarkably well with the wine's minty menthol character.
Faust: It's Goethe stuff!

A state law requiring women to receive an ultrasound at least a day before having an abortion has already caused a Northern Virginia health clinic to reduce its non-abortion services in the month since it took effect, according to a clinic official.
Virginia legislators passed House Bill 462 during the 2012 General Assembly. It states that a woman seeking an abortion must receive an abdominal ultrasound and then wait at least 24 hours before terminating her pregnancy. It also requires doctors to offer the woman the opportunity to see the ultrasound image and hear the fetal heart tones.
Virginia is one of a number of states across the country where anti-abortion activists have pushed through ultrasound requirements and other "informed consent" regulations.
Rose Codding, director of patient services at Falls Church Healthcare Center in Virginia, said her clinic had performed about 110 abortions since ultrasound mandate became law. Because of the law, she said, her office had to add appointment times, hire additional staff, and reduce its non-abortion GYN services.
Clinic says ultrasound law for abortions forces it to reduce other health services

HARKER HEIGHTS — Since Billy and Kyong Tipton moved to Harker Heights in 1972, the city's population has grown from 4,500 to almost 28,000 people in a 15-square-mile area, making it denser than Temple, Belton and Oklahoma City.
But the couple is still fighting to maintain Billy Tipton's rural hobby of raising chickens.
"We have to change as the city changes, but we still need a little freedom," said Billy Tipton, 76, who lives on West Dove Lane. "Part of it is to have chickens."
He recalled his hometown of Kelso, Ark., which consisted of a cotton gin and a country store when he left in the mid-1950s.
"You can take a country boy to the city, but you can't take the country out of the boy," Tipton said. "The country is still in the boy."
But the chickens are out of the coop.
After rooster-raising neighbors asked animal control inspectors why they couldn't raise fowl if the Tiptons could, the officers sent both flocks packing in early June, with the Tiptons' cooping up on a family friend's property in south Killeen.
Now, a 360-square-foot, wire-roofed, latticed, sprinkler-lined hen house sits empty along the Tiptons' back fence.
An ordinance requiring 250 feet between chickens and surrounding homes caused the fowl action and cut into Tipton's hobby, he said.
City Manager Steve Carpenter can waive the required distance to no less than 75 feet, and Tipton's waiver application has been submitted.
Why have the Tiptons fought for a month to raise chickens?
"Do you raise a dog for any purpose?" Billy Tipton said. "You feed them, and you give them water. It takes the place of things that other people have, that we don't have, we don't want. ... It's a halfway hobby."
Tipton's enclosure is within 75 feet of a neighbor's house, Carpenter said.
"I think there is a place in the yard where you might be able to get that 75 feet," he said.
But the hen house is immobile, poled into concrete.
The application remains on the table, and must pass through animal control, Police Chief Mike Gentry and Carpenter. If anyone denies the request, the Tiptons can appeal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which could overturn the ruling if a hardship is demonstrated.
Neighbors' views
Along with distance, another component of any waiver decision is neighbor opinions, Carpenter said.
The closest neighbor is indifferent to chickens, as long as they're quiet.
"I like them fried," said Rick Alton, who lives on West Ruby Road. "We didn't even know he had any chickens. … I don't care as long as it doesn't wake everyone up. Mr. Tipton has always been a good neighbor."
Next-door neighbor and three-year Harker Heights resident Joshua Besse said clucking hens would be relaxing and remind him of his Alabama farm.
But some residents are opposed.
Lemmie Barrow lives diagonally behind the Tiptons. He told surveying animal control officers he didn't want chickens nearby, because their eggs could intensify his snake problem.
"My landlord said, 'If it's one, it's two. They're breeding,'" Barrow said.
Tipton said the city was cooperating with him, but he isn't satisfied.
"If somebody takes away a little of your privilege, you don't feel good, whether it's chickens or what," Tipton said.
"If they was to ... say I couldn't have a boat parked here, I'd have to get rid of it, but I wouldn't feel good; and it's my boat, it's my property."
Tipton has invested roughly $500 in his chicken supplies, he said.
"I've got to eat a lot of eggs to pay it back."

Scientists have identified thousands of sites in the Arctic where methane that has been stored for many millennia is bubbling into the atmosphere.
The methane has been trapped by ice, but is able to escape as the ice melts.
Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this ancient gas could have a significant impact on climate change.

Bryn Mawr College is interested in candidates of character and ability who want an education in the liberal arts and sciences and are prepared for college work by a sound education. The College has found highly successful candidates among students of varied interests and talents from a wide range of schools and regions in the United States and abroad. In its consideration of candidates, the College looks for evidence of ability in the student's high-school record, the challenge of her program of study, her rank in class (if available), and her College Board or ACT tests; it asks her high-school adviser and several teachers for an estimate of her character, maturity and readiness for college.
Candidates are expected to complete a four-year secondary school course. The program of studies providing the best background for college work includes English, languages and mathematics carried through most of the school years and, in addition, history and a laboratory science. A school program giving good preparation for study at Bryn Mawr would be as follows: English grammar, composition and literature through four years; at least three years of mathematics, with emphasis on basic algebraic, geometric and trigonometric concepts and deductive reasoning; three years of one modern or ancient language, or a good foundation in two languages; some work in history; and at least one course in a laboratory science, preferably biology, chemistry or physics. Elective subjects might be offered in, for example, art, music or computing to make up the total of 16 or more credits recommended for admission to the College.
Since school curricula vary widely, the College is fully aware that many applicants for admission will offer programs that differ from the one described above. The College will consider such applications, provided the students have maintained good records and continuity in the study of basic subjects.
Bryn Mawr College accepts the Common Application with a required institutional supplement. The Common Application is available from the Bryn Mawr College Office of Admissions, high school guidance offices and through the Internet (see www.brynmawr.edu). The required Bryn Mawr College Common Application Supplement will be provided to applicants or can be downloaded from the College's Web site as well. A fee of $50 must accompany the application and is not refundable. Fee waivers are available for qualified students. Charitable donations in lieu of fee will also be accepted. For more information visit: www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/applicationoptions.

Admission Plans
Application to the first-year class may be made through one of three plans: Regular Admission, Fall Early Decision or Winter Early Decision. Applicants follow the same procedures, submit the same supporting materials and are evaluated by the same criteria under each plan.
The Regular Admission Plan is designed for those candidates who wish to keep open several different options for their undergraduate education throughout the admission process. Applications under this plan are accepted anytime before the January 15 deadline.
The two early decision plans are designed for candidates who have thoroughly and thoughtfully investigated Bryn Mawr and other colleges and found Bryn Mawr to be their unequivocal first choice. The Winter Early Decision Plan differs from the Fall Early Decision Plan only in recognizing that some candidates may arrive at a final choice of college later than others. Early decision candidates under either plan may file regular applications at other colleges with the understanding that these applications will be withdrawn upon admission to Bryn Mawr. Early decision candidates who apply for financial aid will receive a financialaid decision at the same time as the decision about admission. Any early decision candidate who is not admitted through either the fall or winter plan and whose application is deferred to the Regular Admission Plan will be reconsidered without prejudice along with the regular admission candidates in the spring.
Timetables for the three plans are as follows.
Fall Early Decision
Closing date for applications and all supporting material: November 15
Notification of candidates: by December 15
Winter Early Decision
Closing date for applications and all supporting materials: January 1
Notification of candidates: by January 31
Regular Admission
Closing date for applications and all supporting materials: January 15
Notification of candidates: by mid-April
Entrance Tests and Interviews
For students applying for entrance in the Fall of 2007, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and two Subject tests of the College Entrance Examination Board are required of all candidates and should be taken as early as possible, but no later than January. If possible, Subject tests should be taken in current subjects. Students should offer two of the one-hour tests in the subjects of their choice.
In general, the College recommends, but does not require, that one of the Subject tests be taken in a foreign language because a (recentered) score of 690 or above satisfies part of an A.B. degree requirement (see The Academic Program for details on language exemption).
Candidates are responsible for registering with the College Entrance Examination Board for the tests. Information about the tests, test centers, fees and dates may be obtained by writing to the College Board, P.O. Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08542-0592 or on the College Board Web site at www.collegeboard.com.
For students applying for entrance in the Fall of 2007, students may submit the ACT of the American College Testing Program in lieu of the SAT and Subject tests. All tests must be completed by the January test date.
An interview either at the College or with an alumna area representative is strongly recommended for all candidates. Interviews should be completed by the deadline of the plan under which the candidate is applying. Appointments for interviews and campus tours should be made in advance by writing or telephoning the Office of Admissions at (610) 526-5152. The Office of Admissions is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. From September to January, the office is also open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A student who is unable to visit the College should visit: www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/alumnae_interview.shtml.
Early Admission and Deferred Entrance
Each year a few outstanding students enter the College after the junior year of high school. Students who wish to apply for early admission should plan to complete a senior English course before entrance to the College and should write to the dean of admissions about application procedures. An interview, on campus or with an alumna area representative, is required of early admission candidates.
A student admitted to the College may defer entrance to the freshman class for one year, provided that she writes to the dean of admissions requesting deferred entrance by May 1, the Candidates' Reply Date.
Advanced Placement and Credit
Students who have carried advanced work in school and who have honor grades (5 in Art History, English, Environmental Science, French, Government and Politics, History, Music Theory, Psychology and Spanish; 4 and 5 in most other subjects) on the Advanced Placement Tests of the College Board may, after consultation with the dean and the departments concerned, be admitted to one or more advanced courses in the first year at the College. Bryn Mawr accepts advanced placement tests with honor grades in the relevant subjects as exempting the student from College requirements for the A.B. degree. With the approval of the dean and the departments concerned, one or more advanced placement tests with honor grades may be presented for credit. Students receiving six or more units of credit may apply for advanced standing. The advanced placement tests are given at College Board centers in May. For more information, visit www.brynmawr.edu/registrar/AcadRegs/APexam.shtml.
Students who present the full International Baccalaureate with a score of 30 or better and honor scores in three higher-level exams (6 and 7 in English, French, History and Spanish; 5, 6 and 7 in other subjects) normally receive one year's credit; those with a score of 35 or better, but with honor scores in fewer than three higher-level exams, receive two units of credit for each honor score in higher-level exams plus two for the exam as a whole; those with a score of less than 30 receive two units of credit for each honor score in a higher-level exam.
Depending on their grades, students who present Advanced Levels on the General Certificate of Education may be given two units of credit for each subject. Up to a year's credit is often given for the French Baccalaureate, German Abitur and for similar diplomas, depending upon the quality of the examination results. Students may also consult the dean or the director of admissions about the advisability of taking placement tests given by the College during Customs Week, Bryn Mawr's orientation for new students.
Home-Schooled Students
Students who have received home-schooling must provide the following with the Application for Admission to Bryn Mawr College .
1. Official transcripts from any high school(s) or postsecondary institution(s) attended.
2. An academic portfolio that includes:
3. An additional essay on the reasons for choosing home-schooling.
4. An interview (on campus or telephone) with a member of the admissions staff.
Please note that this information is in addition to those items already required of all applicants (the Application for Admission, official testing from either SAT and two Subject testsor the ACT, two teacher recommendation letters, essays as outlined on the Application, and one graded writing sample from one of your recent classes).
Transfer Students
Each year a number of students are admitted on transfer to the sophomore and junior classes. Successful transfer candidates have done excellent work at other colleges and universities and present strong high-school records that compare favorably with those of women entering Bryn Mawr as first-year students. Students who have failed to meet the prescribed standards of academic work or who have been put on probation, suspended or excluded from other colleges and universities will not be admitted under any circumstances.
Transfer candidates should file applications as early as possible but no later than March 15 for entrance in September, or no later than November 1 for the second semester of the year of entrance. Application forms and instructions may be requested from the director of admissions.
Transfer candidates are asked to submit official test reports from the College Board of the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests taken in high school. Those who have not previously taken these tests are required to take only the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Test registration information may be obtained by writing to the College Board, P.O. Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08542-0592 or on the College Board Web site at www.collegeboard.com.
To qualify for the A.B. degree, students ordinarily should have completed a minimum of two years of full-time study at Bryn Mawr.
International Students
Bryn Mawr welcomes applications from foreign citizens who have outstanding secondary school records and who meet university entrance requirements in their native countries. Application forms and instructions are available from the dean of admissions. Applications from international students should be filed early in the year preceding entrance and must be completed by January 15.
International student applicants are required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Board. Subject tests are recommended but not required. Test registration information may be obtained by writing to the College Board, ATP, P.O. Box 6200, Princeton, New Jersey 08543-6200, U.S.A. or on the College Board Web site at www.collegeboard.com. Registration arrangements for students taking the tests abroad should be made at least two months prior to the scheduled testing date.
International student applicants whose native language is not English must present credentials attesting to their proficiency in English. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for all non-native speakers of English, unless they have studied for several years in an institution in which English is the sole medium of instruction. A score of 600 (or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL) is considered to be adequate. TOEFL registration information can be obtained by writing to TOEFL, P.O. Box 6151, Princeton, New Jersey 08543-6151, U.S.A. or on the College Board Web site at www.collegeboard.com.
For more information, visit www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/intl_students.shtml.
A student who has withdrawn from the College is not automatically readmitted. She must request readmission and should consult her dean and the dean of admissions concerning the procedure to be followed. Evidence of the student's ability to resume work at Bryn Mawr may be requested.

Crispy Pork Milanese
The mix of panko and Parmesan cheese in the breading here gets delightfully crunchy when pan-fried.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 6 pork cutlets (1 1/2 pounds), pounded 1/4 inch thick
- Kosher salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (2 ounces)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Olive oil, for frying
- Lemon wedges, for serving
How to make this recipe
Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, mix the panko with the cheese, oregano and nutmeg. Put the flour and eggs in 2 shallow bowls. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Dredge the cutlets in the flour, tapping off the excess, then dip them in the eggs, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Finally, coat the cutlets with the panko mixture, pressing to help the crumbs adhere.
In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1/2 inch of olive oil until shimmering. Add the cutlets to the skillets and fry over high heat, turning once, until crisp, golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Drain the pork on paper towels and serve at once with lemon wedges.
Serve With
Tomato salad.
Suggested Pairing
These pork cutlets pair well with a light red that won't overwhelm the dish but has enough structure to complement the Parmesan in the crust. A Bardolino from Italy's Veneto is a good choice.

From Shannon Keith, Animal Rescue Media Education (ARME)
Charlie was rescued by ARME from the pound and then adopted to a wonderful couple with another dog named Bengal. This update will make you realize that rescuing is the only way to go.... Share this with others who are considering purchasing a dog from a pet store or breeder....
Hi Shannon,
I'm not sure if I told you when we got Charlie, but Bengal is an epileptic. He hasn't had seizures very often since we moved here, but he had one for the first since we got Charlie. I put Charlie in the bedroom and was worried about how they would react to each other. After seizures Bengal didn't recognize anyone for awhile and got scared and aggressive.
Right after his most recent seizure Bengal started crying really loud. Charlie was barking so I let him out and that's what Bengal had wanted. He instantly recognized him and started wagging his tail! Charlie knew something was wrong and just sat with him until he felt better. It made me cry I was so happy and touched.
Thank you again for our wonderful family member!

World Market Impacts of High Biofuel Use in the European Union
This study examines the world market impact of an expansion in the biofuel sector in the European Union with particular focus on indirect land-use impacts. In the first scenario, an increase of 1 million tonnes oil equivalent (Mtoe) of wheat ethanol use in the European Union expands world land area used in agricultural commodity production by 366,000 hectares, representing an increase of 0.039% in total area. In the second scenario, an increase of 1 Mtoe of rapeseed oil biodiesel use in the European Union expands world land area by 352,000 hectares, representing an increase of 0.038% in total area. With additional land use somewhat close between the two scenarios, the main difference is the spatial distribution of the sources of additional supply. Because the wheat sector, especially in the European Union, is large (26.4 million hectares), when wheat use for ethanol production expands, most of the adjustment is met within the European Union, with only a 9% reduction in net exports required. In contrast, since the rapeseed sector is smaller (only 7.8 mha in the EU), 57% of additional rapeseed oil used for expanded biodiesel production is supplied from higher imports, allowing substantial adjustment by countries outside of the European Union.
