Excellent suit
from Portland, OR
on 4/23/2014
This is the third suit in this style I have purchased. I love it. I swim about 2-3 hours per week and the last suit kept its shape and fit for 3 years. It is very flattering and true to size.
Seems worth it so far
Lunch time swimmer.
from Everett, WA
on 1/19/2010
I swim laps at least 2x week. Suit is comfortable to swim in. I am 5'8" and most height in leg length. At 145-50 lbs a size 36 is fitting fine.
Suit is great, shipping was a fail
from Portland, ME
on 3/17/2015
The suit is what was expected, looks nice, fits nice. I paid extra to get it in 2 days and got it in 4 days (an hour before my daughter left for her swim meet).
Somewhat loose or not made as well
from Martinez, CA
on 2/24/2015
I've reordered this suit a few times and notice it's not made as well now. Will not order it again but really like the design.
Too big and couldn't return
from Carrollton, Ga
on 1/10/2015
I have 2 girls who swim 3+ days a week. They both wear size 38. They have bought many suits in this size over the years without an issue. When this suit came in, it looked good and fit while dry; however, once it was worn in the pool it was too big. Because my daughter wore it one time, we were unable to return it and are stuck with a suit that is unusable.
I love this suits
from Missouri
on 1/9/2015
I love this suit. I get so many compliments for it and when people find out how much it cost they love it even more. It is a little snug on the fit right now but it stretches out with chlorine and fits perfectly. I am very long waisted. This is my second time buying this suit because I love it so much.
Love It!
from Madison, WI
on 5/5/2014
Usually I wear a 38, but I bought the 40 b/c I've never worn this brand b/f & I wanted adequate coverage on the top. It has a bit of extra fabric b/c of the larger size, but I love the fit. It looks great and the higher cut leg slims those larger thighs.It feels so soft and is easier to get on and off than other Poly/PBT suits I have had in the past. When I first touched it I thought it couldn't possibly all poly/pbt b/c it was so soft & stretched. The label confirms that it is indeed poly/pbt.
Love it!
from Rialto, CA
on 3/27/2014
Fits well and if it's anything like my last polyester suit, it will last until the stitching gives out. I swim 7 days a week and quality is key for me.
Size advice:
from Oregon
on 3/22/2014
Fit is a bit large ... order a size down.
Doesn't fit you well
wen z.
from ARCADIA, CA
on 2/23/2014
It doesn't look exactly the same as pic, but the quality worries me, well, for a $25 swimming wear, I guess it is not too bad.
Great quality swimsuit!
from Sioux Falls, SD
on 2/6/2014
Use everyday for full-time job in 96 degree pool with high chlorine levels. Have been wearing it for 9 months and just now the strips are falling off. Material still in great shape, but stitching is releasing.
Awesome suit
Holly K.
from Indianapolis
on 1/4/2014
My daughter loved it. She is a competitive swimmer and needs suits for practices. This was perfect.
order the right size!
from florida
on 11/29/2013
I'm in between a 34 and 36 so a 32 was way to small and the straps cut in to my shoulders a lot. Other than the size i think its a nice durable suit.
Regina C.
from Omaha, NE
on 11/16/2013
Really like suit
Great swimsuit!
Nancy C.
from Charlotte, NC
on 9/30/2013
This is my 5th swimsuit from this brand that I buy. I am top heavy so this style covers really well all around and it is ease to put on/off.
I swim a lot so I like to rotate my suits and some are getting a little old faded due to the chlorine. I just bought two for one of my friends who has the opposite body type but also loves them and it fits her very nice as well. The price is awesome!
Liked it so much that I bought a second one.
Kathleen L.
from Laytonsville, MD
on 9/1/2013
This is my second purchase of this style/brand suit. My original suit lasted a year (7+ hours a week in CL). The color and integrity of the material still look great. The only thing that wore out was the stitching on the trim. After a year, I can't complain. Great quality and great price!
Lost shape in the legs after a while
Judy D.
from Ponte Vedra, FL
on 8/1/2013
The suit was great at first, but rode up and seemed to stretch a little in the legs after wearing it a few months teaching water classes.
Cut isn't right for me
Carol S.
from Pacific Northwest
on 5/29/2013
I love the fit and look of this suit EXCEPT that the elastic on the legs seems too loose, so the suit rides up before I even get in the water. Not for my generously sized bottom. But a great look for those who can wear it.
fits great
from auburn Washington
on 3/2/2013
I teach water aerobics 7 times a week and I needed a suit to hold up to all that without stretching out and fadeing. So far it feels great and I think it will last long. Follow the advice from other people so I could get the right size. Worked great. :)

|Key Info
Fantastic Reviews & Great Location : Renovated to a high standard, situated within 'Vieux Nice' , the apartment benefits from a number of full length, double glazed windows making it feel light and airy. It not only looks out onto the Rue de La Croix and some of the typical old buildings seen within this 'quartier' but also towards the Chapelle Saint Croix , a lovely baroque chapel dating back to the 17th century ( open Tuesday afternoons to the Public).
The building itself is18th Century and exudes charm with balconies and shutters and is typically French. The apartment sleeps 2 people comfortably. The lounge area benefits from two large windows to give alot of natural lighting with one of the windows opening onto a small balcony looking towards the chapel, the other window opening onto the fascinating streets within the Old town. The property has Satellite TV with (english) Sky News, CNN , BBC News, Bloomberg etc + many Freeview channels ( mostly in French but a great way to learn the language !) and Wi-Fi Internet access .
The bedroom is fresh and light and benefits from a large built in wardrobe and a floor to ceiling window which opens onto a small balcony which looks towards the 'Parc' and beyond. The new en suite shower room has been freshly tiled and painted, with a wall mirror and suitable lighting. It also provides heating if necessary.
The brand new kitchen area provides all the amenities you require to make your stay a comfortable one with a round folding table which easily seats up to 4 people to enjoy your freshly prepared meals, accompanied of course by a glass of rosé in the evenings !
In the cooler months , the apartment benefts from wall mounted heaters, both in the lounge area and the bedroom which soon heats up the apartment to make it warm and cosy.
The surrounding area has a real French feel to it with lots of narrow streets to navigate your way through to the many restaurants and patisseries for you to try some of the local delicacies, all of which are a short walk away towards the Cours Saleya. Place Massena is within a 10 min walk and has many restaurants, bars and shops with a great vibrant feel to it whether it be during the day or at night when the place buzzes with enthusiasm and excitement. Not to be missed !
Behind the property, you can walk up to Le Parc du Chateau with spectacular views over Nice and beyond. Here you get an amazing view over the bay of Nice ( the Baie des Anges) towards the airport and also towards the Port with its many private yachts and cruise ships. Alternatively, you can catch the white tourist train along the Promenade des Anglais to the top of the park, which takes you through the Old Town along the way and is well worth a trip. Or, you can simply stroll along the Promenade or sit and watch the world go by whilst appreciating the breathtaking colour of the azure blue sea which can be seen on many of the sunny days. In the evening, why not watch the sun as it sets over the Baie des Anges. As they say, the world is your oyster and here you can enjoy and savour every minute of it to the full.

What a good week ! The flat is great with a comfortable bed ( we slept like logs ) refreshing shower and everything we would need in the living area.

Thank you Sheena for meeting us, providing milk and wine and a lovely place to stay. We hope to be back ! Tony and Ruth Newark on Trent UK

The welcome basket was much appreciated. We have found the apartment a very comfortable place and soon felt right at home. We have enjoyed Nice but we really want you to know that we particularly enjoyed spending time in this light and airy space you have created. We came here to chill , with just a short walk to reach the restaurants , parks and all the local amenities, we were able to do just that. What more could we have asked for. Thank you Very Much - Stafford UK
We've spent another wonderful holiday in this fully equipped flat in the middle of the Old Town. It was perfectly situated to start bus trips or go out at night.

We hope that you continue and that you will welcome more holiday makers who want to experience the Cote D'Azur and I'm sure that we will be one of them soon - Berlin, Germany

Coming 'home' to Sheena's apartment at the end of the day was fantastic - it has so much charm and really is a home away from home, so well equipped and spotlessly clean.

I would love to come back - Belfast

We've been travelling all over France for more than 10 years now & we've seen very beautiful places but Nice & the Cote D'Azur is definitely one of the highlights of the country.

Our trip was full of gastronomical, cultural & walking experiences which we will never forget. Thank you so much for your kindness & warm welcome. We're already missing Nice and longing for coming back.

We feel SO lucky to have found such a lovely apartment in gorgeous Nice.

We have been to various apartments before and this apartment definitely belongs to one of the best we have stayed in.

The situation of the apartment is more than perfect - we would definitely recommend this apartment - its worth it !

The French Riviera - Cote d'Azur region
If this is your first visit to the Cote D'Azur, then you are in for a real treat ! There is so much to do for all members of the family with so many exciting places to see, you will not be disappointed. Nice is fun, cultural, sophisticated and exudes charm with a capital C , so enjoy ! We are blessed here with a most amazing Mediterranean climate with mild temperatures most of the year and some 300 days of sun ! The summer months can be particularly hot with temperatures reaching 30°c during July and August.
There are so many wonderful places to explore along the coastline such as Cannes and Monaco both within easy reach either by bus or train and well worth seeing to get the full flavour of the glitzy side of the Cote D'Azur with the many super yachts of the rich and famous. A few stops after Monaco by train and you are in Italy where there is a huge market held every Friday morning with lots of bargains to be had with special mention here of the wonderful Italian leather goods ( takes approx 45 mins by train from Nice station).
Provence is clearly renowned for its rosé wine and lavender fields and if you want to venture further inland then why not pick up a hire car and head towards the vineyards and sample some of the locally produced goods - a fantastic way to see rural France at its best ! Alternatively, in late July / August why not head towards the lavender fields , they really are a truly magnificent sight to behold with a ' carpet' of lavender everywhere.
During the winter months, then why not spend a day or two at one of the ski resorts which are within easy distance ( about 1 and a half hours by car) - the resorts of Isola 2000 and Auron are very popular and are well worth a visit, even if its your first time then why not give it a go - there are not many places where you can be by the sea in the morning and ski-ing by midday !
Nice has attracted many famous people over the years and is full of culture and if art is your 'thing' then why not visit some of the many museums such as the Musee Chagall or Musee Matisse or indeed the Maeght Foundation in nearby St Paul de Vence which holds a mix of modern and contemporary art and contains one of the most important collections in Europe ( you can get to St Paul de Vence in about an hour by bus from the main bus station in Nice). Alternatively, you can visit one of the many Churches / Cathedrals in Nice, some dating back to the 17th Century.
Throughout the whole year there is something going on and events NOT to be missed include :
*The Fete du Citron in Menton with fantastic exhibitions and carnivals with floats made out of citrus fruits
*Nice Carnival - 2010 years theme is The Blue Planet - FULL of huge floats and a great party atmosphere
*Nice Jazz Festival - held at the end of July and attracts people from all over
* Cannes International Firework Festival - countries compete with a grand spectacular of fireworks to music
NOT forgetting to mention of course, the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix and many, many more events !
If you prefer to simply 'chill' and enjoy the sunshine then why not take a sun lounger on the beach, take a dip in the azure sea and maybe treat yourself to a leisurely lunch at one of the many wonderful restaurants along the beach front and sit and watch the world go - what a wonderful life !

"Light, airy and superbly located in Nice Old Town with everything supplied for a great stay."
We found this to be a wonderful holiday apartment. There was everything there to facilitate our stay - from beach towels and mats, to umbrellas for the occasional thunderstorm. Because of this, we soon felt right at home.
We went to Nice to 'chill'. With just a short walk to the beach, to restaurants, parks and all local amenities, we were able to do just that. And when we weren't 'chilling' in the surrounding area, we were 'chilling' in this lovely light and airy space.
What more could we have asked for?
Highly recommended.

"Lovely apartment in a great location"
We booked this flat through 'homeaway' and it was our first self catering holiday so we were a little bit nervous. Sheena was very helpful in responding to all of my pre holiday questions. When we got there we were greeted as agreed and were grateful to find a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge, we were shown where everything was. The apartment contains everything you could possibly need; pots, pans, plates, cutlery, washing machine etc.. even beach towels and beach mats!
As for the location, we couldn't have hoped for better; beach, market, tram stop, bus stops all a short walk away. Restaurants and bars galore everywhere you look.
Nice has shot to the top of our recommended holiday destinations and we'l definitely be coming again!

"Irn Bru Stay !!! PHENOMENAL !!"
Well where to start ? 3rd year in Nice for the Monaco Grand Prix. 1st year in Rue Blacas = 1st class, 2nd year booked through Booking.com in Port Area called Arson Plaza = Disgusting DO NOT GO. 3rd year discovered this wee jewel in Rue de la Croix in the old town and hey presto = back to 1st class. Location 10, EVERYTHING IS ON YOUR DOORSTEP AND WHAT AN ATMOSPHERE !!, cleanliness 10, facilities 10, there was everything you could ever need, right down to shampoo and conditioner in the shower !!, you could eat your frogs legs off the floor ( we were going to try them but could'nt catch the wee slippery buggers) ONLY KIDDING!!!. Sheena met us at the bus stop and took us to the apartment, gave us a wee tour to explain where everything was and even left a welcome pack consisting of wine, milk, water,croissants, fillet steak, mashed potatoes !!!!!!!!!! kidding again (well only about the steak and potatoes) but this place and the owner just made us feel so good. There was even a apartment guide brochure with every kind of info, TV,DVD,WI FI,
When our holiday was over I called Sheena to arrange key collection and she arrived right on cue, we had a wee chat about our break and the apartment shook hands and said our goodbyes. Headed for the Airport and headed home and by the time we had arrived at Edinburgh she had refunded our deposit, Now that is some service.
All I can say about Sheena is that she is a star, from the first call through e mails etc, and a really nice Lady in to the bargain and we would give her a 10 also.
So all the best Sheena and perhaps we will see you again in the future, keep up the excellent work.
Very best wishes
J and E

"Perfect apartment to see & enjoy the Nice & Monaco area"
The apartment sleeps 2 only & is in the heart of the old town,just a beautiful & unspoilt area

The 100 / 81 bus stop to Monaco /Cap Farret is only a short distance away.
Apartment is fully equipped & even though of beach towels to Brolleys so you can travel light.
Sheena has thought of everything & was the prefer hostess.
We will be returning one day, loved it.

"The perfect apartment in a perfect location in a perfect city!!"
This apartment was in a perfect location and, although small, it is efficient and very comfortable. Sheena and Michael are wonderful hosts. Prior to our arrival, we received multiple email from Sheena about the apartment and she was wonderful in helping us plan our trip. She met us at the apartment, and even had some welcoming items there for us. When the television was not working, she came and fixed it promptly. We would highly recommend this lovely spot and hope to return sometime in the future.

"Great little apartment in the heart of the old town"
We had a wonderful stay in this apartment which was in the heart of the old town of Nice and close to all the amenities. The place was spotless and our host actually met us off the bus and gave us a tour of the apartment and surrounding areas. As in the advert, the apartment is for relatively fit people as it's on the 3rd floor with no lift but you get used to it! We really felt we were living the life as a local and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the same sort of holiday.

"Size isn't everything"
The apartment may be small but it's perfectly formed. It's got everything you could want. The weather wasn't great when we stayed but the heating in the flat kept us warm. Sheena (the owner) met us off the bus so we had no trouble finding the place and we were given an intro to all its bits and pieces. It's situated in the heart of the old town but on a quiet street. If you're looking to stay in the old town this flat will offer you a great and comfy home for your holiday (as long as you don't mind 3 floors of steep stairs!).

"Lovely, clean flat in great location with very helpful and friendly owner"
Had no problems here whatsoever. The flat is situated in Nice's vibrant old town and ideal for anyone looking for more than just a hotel room whilst on holiday! It was very clean, refurbished and easy to access. Furthermore, it is very central and close to the hustle and bustle of both the old town with it's many restaurants/bars, shops and markets (only a few minutes walk to the promenade and chateau!) as well as the centre of Nice. Buses to nearby sights/villages are also nearby. The flat had internet access and generally everything that was to be expected going by the advertisment. The owners were extremely friendly, helpful and seem to have thought of everything from a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival to beach towels. Can only highly recommend this place.

"Marvelous Nice apartment"
My wife and I stayed for three weeks in this fabulous Old Town Nice apartment. Everything was wonderful. We were given a bottle of wine and some essentials to get us started which was very much appreciated. On top of the excellent facilities there are so many little extras which made our stay even more enjoyable - beach umbrella, mats, games etc. The trip suggestion book was also great help to us and contained detailed descriptions of the places we visited.
The location of the apartment is fantastic as you are just minutes away from the bus or tram which links to the main railway station. There are several good supermarkets within walking distance. Local restaurants are varied and there is ample opportunity to buy food locally and cook yourself if you are on a smaller budget. There were no noise issues at all. I slept like a baby every night for three weeks.
I would recommend this accommodation to anyone. Sheena - the owner - is extremely helpful, professional and friendly. If we go back to Nice I would not think of staying anywhere else.

"A quiet, clean, 5 star calibre haven in Vieux Nice"
This is a well cared for, recently renovated property - extremely clean, very nicely decorated (it actually looks like all the photos). I received a very warm welcome from the owner who was keen that I had everything possible to make my holiday as perfect as possible.
With pleasing views over a church facade, the rooftops of Vieux Nice, and some greenery, the location is perfect; - a good balance of being near all imaginable facitilities (fountain gardens, the market, the Promenade des Anglais, the old churches, and countless boulangeries to choose from for croissants every morning).
The flat is very comfortable and welcoming after a day exploring. Well equipped to cook your own meals if you don't want to eat out all the time, and to catch up on some rest listening to the radio, the TV or watching a DVD.

My mom instilled in me a strong sense of ownership so I am unable to complain about a problem without offering solutions – even if they are solutions that would work for me and might not work for others. I figure at the very least, this conversation should be happening no matter how uncomfortable or controversial it might be.
Here are some of the things I felt when I came forward with my own experiences being harassed within the Broadcast Centre in Toronto and my ideas for
actions HR or the Union or my bosses could have taken that would have made me feel safer (NB: I was not a CMG member at the time I reported, so they were not an option for me ).
|I felt …
|Actionable solutions
|Worried for my job because I was reporting on someone I worked with.
|Clear assurances that the boss above both of us (myself and the person who was doing the harassing) would be told of these issues – anonymously if that is how I felt comfortable. I would have felt more secure with that in mind.
|Desperation for the harassment to stop immediately
|You shouldn't have to wait days or weeks to get relief from the situation. From other women I have spoken to about this I heard that they were the ones (the harassed in other words) who were moved 'out of the situation' rather than the person they were reporting on. Think outside the box please. There are other solutions to this problem.
|A lack of control
|I'd like a reported harassment to be like a transaction in some ways (I know, it's cold, but hear me out) – where notes are taken, and where both parties get copies of the notes as signed by each. Then we wouldn't run into what this former CBC employee is running into with an incident with Jian she believed she had reported and no file or records to be found to support her.
|Anxious feelings of possible retribution
|I will only speak for myself in this case, but I found whenever I stood up to this one harasser about a specific thing that made me uncomfortable, he would switch gears and apply a different tack – like calling me by a weird nickname for a month instead. If you can't pull the aggressor out of the situation then someone needs to clearly explain to him/her that a file has been opened and he/she are being observed.
|A quickness to Anger/Tears/Anxiety
|In this case I think a small group could be formed where employees can speak to others who are dealing with or have dealt with these types of issues. Like many other traumatic things that happen to us in our lives, we can feel very alone. I remember this from when I had my first miscarriage (another awkward subject). Every second women I divulged that to would answer with a similar story of loss, and it astounded me. We don't talk about it so we aren't able to comfort each other about it.
|A sense of hopelessness
|I'd like to know that reporting this, tracking it, getting witnesses, whatever it is you ask us to do to prove that we are being harassed actually leads to something concrete. How about some anecdotes? How about some evidence? Yes, we hear Jian was removed from the CBC because someone in management was provided with evidence of his behaviour – but that is one example and it is pretty extreme. How about when someone is let go because of their harassing behaviour it is not swept under a rug. How about we declare that we as a community within the CBC have a zero-tolerance for harassment and THAT is why that person lost their job?
|Worried that I wouldn't be
believed or taken seriously
|The person who hears the complaints has to be trained and trained well to take in this kind of information. The phrase "he's from a different generation" or "she's harmless" or "our hands are tied, he's a host!" are not acceptable answers to a reported harassment. We are not children and they are not Gods. We take it seriously, you need to too. Take notes, be trained to offer help. Take us seriously immediately from the very first report.
|Guilty because this person is a friend…
|Sometimes the person who is doing the harassing is a friend. Or sometimes you are not being harassed directly but are watching a friend do the harassing. So we won't speak up when we witness things because we don't want our friends to get in trouble and we don't feel empowered to speak up ourselves. So what then? Should we have politeness marshals for the floor? Like we have fire marshals? Perhaps the support group is a good solution for this as well – somewhere where you can bring your concerns to a group and talk about potential ways to handle it together.
I know there are going to be some people reading this who will rightfully ask about the rights of the accused. I don't see any of these actions as intruding on those rights, but I am open to discussion if you disagree. If you are wrongly accused (which is the worry I hear voiced most often) then being told you are being observed is a chance to prove that the accusations are unsubstantiated. I believe that by telling someone that a file has been opened on them that this becomes a more transparent process – they are aware that something specific they are doing makes someone else feel uncomfortable and they are in control of stopping it. If I heard that pulling someone's hair made them feel uncomfortable (yes that happened to me) I would avoid even standing to close to them. I would go above and beyond so that they would never feel that way around me again. But that's just me maybe : )
I also believe that by limiting the information about this issue to (1) the person who files the report, (2) the HR/Union Rep, (3) the accused and (4) the boss of both of those people we can avoid any worries about reputation loss for either party.
As always, let me know what you think (politely please. Or your comments will be removed. This webmaster has no patience for rudeness).

For the past year, I've appreciated Blogger's free hosting, but, then again, you get what you don't pay for, and there have been a lot of bugs. So starting tomorrow, The God Blog should have a totally new look (and content management system).
The switch coincides with the launch of The Jewish Journal's new Website. You may already be reading this post on the new site, which has the same address as the old blog. The blog archives also are now fully searchable through the Journal's home page.
But there likely will be some problems with the launch, and I may have trouble posting during the next two days. My advance apologies.
Also, you will notice that, as of right now, comments are missing from posts less than a month old. This is because the designers of our new site made the error of migrating over all the blogs too close to our original launch date. I spent much of today moving over the 100 or so posts I'd written since then and over the next week will have to add the comments by hand. For once I'm glad comments here aren't too numerous.
(Hopefully I can finally complete my registration on Technorati. Technorati Profile)

It was a busy day at Genesee Valley Park on Saturday as youths from across our community took part in the fourth annual Rochester Kids Triathlon.
The triathlon consisted of running, biking and swimming, but all of the participants were 17 and younger.
The top three finishers in each race won awards, and everyone who finished got a t-shirt.

The Food Bank of Central New York announces the First Annual Savor Chef Challenge at SavorSyracuse 2010 - their annual gourmet food, beer, and wine tasting gala. This entertaining and delicious event, which is in its 13th
year, draws an appreciative crowd of approximately 750 Central New Yorkers. It will take place on April 15, 2010 from 6 - 8:30pm at the historic Hotel Syracuse.
This year, there is a new and exciting event: the Savor Chef Challenge sponsored by P&C Food and Pharmacy. An elite group of local chefs will be critiqued based on several different criteria; the winner will be chosen at the end of the evening by a team of designated judges and will be awarded a 42" high definition TV provided by Olum's Appliance & Electronics. General attendees will also be able to cast their vote for their favorite participant.
"The Chef Challenge will create new depth and excitement. SavorSyracuse has consistently been a great fundraiser for the Food Bank, but this will take the event up to another level," said Tom Slater, Executive Director of the Food Bank of Central New York. "The Challenge gives us the opportunity to showcase the talents of Central New York's finest chefs and add another tasting opportunity for those who attend."
At SavorSyracuse, participating restaurants, caterers, wineries, and breweries prepare small, "tasting size" samples for attendees to enjoy. SavorSyracuse is designed both to raise money for the Food Bank of Central New York, and to create awareness of the many in need of food assistance in the Central and Northern New York region.
The Food Bank of Central New York is a not-for-profit organization working to eliminate hunger through nutritious food distribution, education and advocacy in cooperation with the community. Visit us at www.savorsyracuse.org for more information and for

Thank you for your interest in Bellarmine.
The application process for incoming freshmen consists of three major components: the online application, required forms and the High School Placement Test. Details for each are described below and are also included in our Admissions Process Overview document.
We are no longer accepting applications and our online application system is now closed. (The deadline for submission was December 12, 2014.)
You can check the status of your application by clicking the button in the right-hand column.
Applicants applying to a Catholic high school must submit an application to each high school to which he is applying. The Admissions Department will open a file for you once you have completed the online portion of the application and submitted the $75 application fee. The $75 fee is non-refundable and it covers the fee for the HSPT entrance exam.
The following forms are required in addition to the online application.
Catholic applicants must also submit a copy of their Baptismal Certificate.
A Baptismal Certificate is not required for non-Catholics, although a certificate appropriate to one's religion is welcomed. You may scan and email a copy to Terry Council (firstname.lastname@example.com), fax a copy to (408) 294-4086 or mail a copy to the Admissions Department. This copy is due by December 12, 2014.
The file completion deadline (for applications which are submitted prior to the December deadline) is February 4, 2015. Within a week after the deadline, you should see a check mark indicating that all required forms have been received. If a document is missing from your file, you will be notified via email and given time to submit the missing paperwork. Due to the large volume of mail we receive, we are unable to check on the receipt of any individual document or whether a specific letter has arrived in our office. If any paperwork from your school is received past the deadline, you will not be penalized.
If you would like to apply for financial aid, please refer to the information found on the Tuition and Financial Aid web pages.
The HSPT, created by Scholastic Testing Service (STS), is a comprehensive placement test for eighth graders which high schools, including Bellarmine, use to assist with their ninth grade admission process.
Students can take the HSPT entrance exam at Bellarmine or at any of the other San Jose diocesan high schools. Applicants may also take the test in a diocese other than San Jose, e.g., Oakland or San Francisco. The exam may only be taken once and you must register in advance.
If you would like to take the exam at Bellarmine, you will find the registration form within the online application. We will be offering the exam on January 10, 2015, and January 24, 2015.
As an alternative to costly HSPT preparation classes, Bellarmine faculty developed a free, online test prep course which students can take at their own pace. More information can be found at www.bcp.org/hspt.

It has always been our policy to help any deserving family as much as we can. For those who wish to be considered for Financial Aid, the financial aid forms are due February 4, 2015. Requests for assistance should be directed to the Business Office, (408) 294-9224, ext. 223.

A 26-year-old man was hospitalized Sunday night after being struck by an SUV while crossing the street in Mankato. The incident happened at shortly before 10:30pm near the intersection of Riverfront Drive and Spring Street in Mankato. Officials at the scene say the vehicle was traveling between upwards of 30 miles-per-hour when the pedestrian was struck. The collision reportedly knocked the man unconscious, but authorities say he was still breathing. The name of the victim and the extent of his injuries have not been released at this time.
Pedestrian Hit In Mankato

These days, his Western business suits and ties have given way to Afghan turbans and tunics. Instead of anthropology students and fellow faculty members at the Johns Hopkins University, tribal elders and international aid officials are more likely to seek his ear.
Also left behind is the inviting stucco home overlooking a stream in Roland Park for one in Kabul with walls fortified against explosions and protected by armed guards — with good reason.
"That hospital is 300 meters from my house," Ashraf Ghani said by phone this week, on a day when three American doctors were killed in an attack at a Cure International Hospital. "My late mother used to be there. It is a remarkable group of people there. It's just terrible."
The man who would be the next president of Afghanistan leads a vastly different life than he did as an anthropology professor in Baltimore, which he left in 1991 first for the World Bank and then for the immense challenges of rebuilding and serving as finance minister of his war-battered homeland.
Preliminary results released Saturday show Ghani, 64, running second with 32 percent of the vote to former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, with 45 percent, among 11 candidates — although officials are investigating fraud complaints and contested ballots before certifying the race — and a runoff election between the two front-runners, required if no candidate gets at least 50 percent of the vote, is likely as early as May 28.
While Ghani looks back fondly at his time here — the heady intellectual climate on campus, the warm neighborhood where he and his wife raised two children — he gave it up without hesitation.
"My country needed me," he says simply. "You don't feel it's a sacrifice, but that it's a calling."
The country's needs loom large, with U.S.-led troops scheduled to pull out this year and Afghanistan facing its first transfer of presidential power since Hamid Karzai took office as the country's first democratically elected head of state in 2004.
Ghani said he expects to emerge victorious over Abdullah. In the meantime, there is much intrigue over possible coalitions forming in advance of the runoff, although Ghani said he wants no part of that.
"I am not a deal-maker," Ghani said. "When millions of people vote for you, it is an incredible, sacred trust."
Win or lose, it has already been a remarkable journey — for both Ghani and Afghanistan, where the April 5 election drew long, enthusiastic lines of voters despite Taliban insurgent threats to disrupt the polling.
"It was an act of courage," said Shabana Basij-Rasikh, 24, an Afghan educator who was in Baltimore recently to receive an award from the student-run Foreign Affairs Symposium at Hopkins. "That act of courage is indicative of people's desire for change."
For many, those hopes lie in the candidacy of Ghani, who since returning to Afghanistan in 2002 has been key to its reconstruction. He replaced its unworkable currency, for example, and implemented a community-directed redevelopment program that funneled billions of dollars in foreign aid into the building of schools, roads, power plants and other basic infrastructure.
'He's really brilliant'
Exiled first by the communist revolution and Soviet invasion in the late 1970s, then by the Taliban takeover in the 1990s, Ghani was hired at Hopkins as a freshly minted Ph.D. in 1983.
"He's really brilliant," said Niloofar Haeri, who chairs the Hopkins anthropology department. "He's one of the very few people I can use that adjective for without reservation.
"In some ways, he's quite intimidating for some people because he's so no-nonsense. Some people have found him a bit impatient. But I always learned from him."
The sting of his impatience was usually felt by students who failed to live up to his high standards, said Sidney Mintz, who with two former Yale professors started the Hopkins anthropology department in the mid-1970s. Mintz said he always felt Ghani preferred the back-and-forth with other professors.
"He liked very much the discourse with his colleagues, listening to people present their papers," Mintz said. "I remember when he'd read something of mine he would always have insights."
The city still holds a special place for Ghani.

Wilton House
Wilton House is the property of the Earl of Pembroke and has been in his family for over 450 years. The house you see today was constructed in 1647 and built in the Palladian style: the Single and Double Cube Rooms are considered to be the finest examples of Palladian architecture in England. Later generations added to the original. A Palladian style bridge over the River Nadder was built in 1737 and cloisters on two levels were added in the 19th century. The house contains a world famous collection of Van Dycks. The interiors are much in demand for film sets and the extensive grounds beside the River Nadder have walks, gardens and water features. An interpretive centre has been created in the Old Riding School where visitors are introduced to the property with an award-winning film. There is an adventure playground for children and special children's activities in school holidays. Facilities are in place for disabled visitors. There is a shop and restaurant on site.
American Museum in Britain
Established in 1961, the American Museum was the brainchild of two American citizens, Dallas Pratt and John Judkyn. They had the idea of creating a museum in Britain that housed American artefacts, including native American Indian textiles and art. Each of the rooms of the museum are authentically furnished to recreate a different period of American history, from early colonial times through to more modern periods. In addition to the permanent displays that are here there are also temporary exhibitions too. Since the museum is closed during winter each season there is also a new exhibition that lasts throughout the following summer. The museum stands within 120 acres of landscaped gardens and within these gardens there are outdoor exhibitions and displays. The museum is open between mid March and the end of October. It is open between 12 midday and 5pm every day, expect Monday. It is however open on Bank Holiday Mondays and every Monday during August. The admission charges are: Museum, Grounds and Exhibition: Adult - £7.50 (11.25 Euros) Senior Citizens/Students - £6.50 (9.75 Euros) Children (aged 5-16) - £4.00 (6 Euros) Family Ticket (2 adults & 2 children) - £20.00 (30 Euros) Grounds and Exhibition: Adult - £5.00 (7.5 Euros) Seniors/Students - £4.00 (6 Euros) Children (5-16) - £3.00 (4.5 Euros)
Bar Med
Bar Med offers a wide range of menu choices, including various tapas, fajitas and filled breads. They also offer a selection of cocktails and wines and cater for private functions. You can find Bar Med just off the main A31, which is also near to the train station. This venue is open from 10am to 1am on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday and from 10am to 2am on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They also hold various event nights, so please check the website for updates.
Monkey World
Monkey World is a 65 acres site that houses over 150 different Primates. It is described as an Ape rescue centre and the animals that are here have been rescued from all over the World. The ultimate aim of this sanctuary, wherever possible, is to return these animals back to the wild. Since the centre was founded in 1987 dozens of animals have been returned back to their natural habitat. The sanctuary is open daily from 10am until 5pm between September and June and from 10am until 6pm during July and August. Admission charges are: Adult - £10 (15 Euros) Child - £7 (10.5 Euros) Concessions - £7 (10.5 Euros) Family ticket - £30 (45 Euros) Family ticket is valid for 2 adults and 2 children

More from their release: NESN's Bruins ratings have increased an astounding 115% over the last two seasons. "The impact that the Boston Bruins are having here in New England is undeniable, as the team's popularity continues to rise and all of NESN's Bruins programs continue to set new ratings records," said Sean McGrail, NESN President and CEO. "The excitement around the Bruins will only get more intense as the Bruins get ready to take on the Capitals in the first round of the playoffs to defend their 2011 Stanley Cup Championship." NESN's Bruins ratings showed an incredible level of consistency throughout the season, as 23 of the network's 25 top-rated Bruins regular season games of all-time were played during the 2011/12 season, including the six highest rated h...
