Our group of 4 were very comfortable in a lovely upstairs apartment. We wished we could have stayed longer! The small private beach and several tucked away places with table and chairs for privacy were wonderfully relaxing.
There was a rather steep high staircase to the apartment but we managed! The kitchen did not have a sink, but otherwise had most of what we needed.
Every thing was perfect The location close to the beach with many facilities like kano and kids beach toys We like the villa and the garden design The owners were so kind and good host!
What a find!The villa was in a fantastic location with the owners own private beach.Our apartment was beautiful,unlike anywhere I have ever stayed before...pure luxury.Everything you could ask for.The owners were lovely and friendly.I wish were able to stay longer
An amazing room that fitted 3 adults comfortably, with quality fittings and luxury furnishings. A lot of thought and care went into designing it. Add lakefront swimming location (the backyard),nearby town to walk to buy milk etc, and the warmth of friendly owners onsite (upstairs), equals a perfect stay.Thanks Trond & Gunvar.
The road in from the highway is about 16 km on a winding narrow road with no centre line. The other drivers were like maniacs! Very careful negotiating of this road 'in' and 'out' was required. That's all.
This is one of the best places we have visited so far. Definitely a "must return" place
Wonderfu appartment with everything you need. Hospitability of the host. Exellent location on the fjord with lots of confortable sitting spots near the water. One day is not enouth to enjoy everithing the house offer: beach, grill, etc The house is delightful - every corner has a detail with artistic taste. The host was the most friendly host we met in Norway.
No sink in the micro kitchen.
Spacious, eclectically decorated room with everything needed to cook and a lovely terrace overlooking the fjord.
While fine enough for two, I prefer a larger bed - a king or two twins together.
Extremely cosy family run "hotel" just on the bank of Drammen fjord.
No breakfast which I wasn't informed about. Since I took it for granted I were very disappointed.

Take to the pitch with all out attack in Nike's game changing Hypervenom Phantom FG Rugby Boots.There is no hiding from the obvious fact that these Hypervenom rugby boots are capable of delivering the highest performance. With NikeSkin taking on a prominent role, lightly wrapped around the upper, this helps deliver a boot which delivers superior ball feel and control from the moment you slip them on.Not enough to simply have a lightweight feel, the thin material incorporates a completely unique waffle-like pattern to aid ball control and deliver a supremely natural touch which will really put you in control of your game. Even the lacing has been positioned off-centre to allow for a greater area to strike the ball with and generate an all-together more comfortable fit across the foot.As is now standard with the top end, high performance Nike models, these rugby boots include All Conditions Control (ACC). Created to aid the grip between the boot and ball, this provides enhanced performance control in all weather making for ideal wear throughout the season and no stopping you whatever the elements.Engineered to make light work of firm natural surfaces, a unique configuration of moulded conical and bladed studs promise to deliver enhanced grip, manoeuvrability and agility so you can attack your opponents with confidence.Many call it traditional but in Nike's eyes this look is one of pure stealth as the upper is treated to a menacing black design. With the Swoosh simply outlined in white for added prestige, it is left to the inner to be decorated in a bright splash of Nike's signature hyper punch shade.To help looked after your prized assets, a matching boot bag also accompanies these Nike Hypervenom Phantom rugby boots.This boot weighs 198g (UK 8).

Photo Guidelines
Flash photography, including on-and-off camera flash / strobe units, is permitted at all OSAA events. Remote flash / strobe units should be used wherever possible. Please avoid shooting directly into participants' eyes with flash-mounted units. If the OSAA representative on site views a flash as a safety issue due to the layout of a particular venue, the photographer may be asked to disable the flash.
Note: The OSAA or game officials may alter the following photography locations due to safety or to accommodate a specific facility.
Designated areas along the first and third baselines (must be designated dead ball areas).
Each end of the court. Set up at least 10 feet behind the end line.
At least 10 feet off the competition mat and out of the direct line of the judges.
When shooting the start, photographers must give the field a minimum of 50 yards to allow for time to shoot and move off the course. Photographers may shoot from either side at the finish line in designated areas, but are not allowed in the race path.
Sidelines except within the team boxes. Set up at least five yards behind the sideline.
Observe golf etiquette. Be aware of camera noise; shoot only after the ball is struck. Remain off greens and tee boxes.
Sidelines except within the team boxes and endlines between the 18-yard box and the corners of the field. Set up at least five yards behind the sideline or endline.
Corners of the bulkhead. Allow space for officials to walk both sides of the pool. Due to use of sound and flash starting systems, avoid flash photography during the start of a race.
Either side of the net and the corners of the court. Do not change positions until the players have switched sides.
In all events, consider the safety of yourself and the participants and provide a reasonable cushion. Provide a 40-meter cushion when shooting sprints and hurdles head on. Remain off the shot put, discus and javelin fields.
Set up to shoot at least 10 feet off the court. If shooting at the net, remain behind the officials and do not set up between adjacent courts.
At least four feet off the mat. Shooting from the team corners and interfering with sight lines are prohibited.

New technology may lead to prolonged power in mobile devicesSeptember 29, 2014 8:40 am | News | Comments
Researchers from the Univ. of Texas at Dallas have created technology that could be the first step toward wearable computers with self-contained power sources or, more immediately, a smartphone that doesn't die after a few hours of heavy use. This technology taps into the power of a single electron to control energy consumption inside transistors, which are at the core of most modern electronic systems.
New imaging capability reveals possible key to extending battery lifetime, capacitySeptember 29, 2014 8:37 am | by Tona Kunz, Argonne National Laboratory | News | Comments
A novel x-ray technique used at the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Photon Source has revealed surprising dynamics in the nanomechanics of operating batteries and suggests a way to mitigate battery failures by minimizing the generation of elastic energy. The method could open a path to wider use of these batteries in conjunction with renewable energy sources.
Pixel-engineered electronics have growth potentialSeptember 29, 2014 8:19 am | by Mike Williams, Rice Univ. | News | Comments
A little change in temperature makes a big difference for growing a new generation of hybrid atomic-layer structures, according to scientists. Rice Univ. scientists led the first single-step growth of self-assembled hybrid layers made of two elements that can either be side by side and one-atom thick or stacked atop each other. The structure's final form can be tuned by changing the growth temperature.
How to make a "perfect" solar absorberSeptember 29, 2014 8:08 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
The key to creating a material that would be ideal for converting solar energy to heat is tuning the material's spectrum of absorption just right: It should absorb virtually all wavelengths of light that reach Earth's surface from the sun—but not much of the rest of the spectrum, since that would increase the energy that is reradiated by the material, and thus lost to the conversion process.
Multi-spectra "glasses" aid studies of light elements with SEMsSeptember 26, 2014 11:16 am | News | Comments
Scanning electron microscopes can determine chemical compositions with the help of energy dispersive spectrometers. However, lighter elements like carbon emit secondary fluorescence in an energy range insufficiently resolved by these instruments. Physicists have developed a potential solution to this problem by adding reflection zone plate optics to a specialized spectrometer that delivers high resolution from 50 to 1,120 eV.
A prison for photons in a diamond-like photonic crystalSeptember 26, 2014 9:08 am | News | Comments
Confined photons have many potential applications, such as efficient miniature lasers, on-chip information storage, or tiny sensors on pharmaceuticals. Making a structure that can capture photons is difficult, but scientists in the Netherlands have recently devised a new type of resonant cavity inside a photonic crystal that imprisons light in all three dimensions.
Discovery could pave way for spin-based computingSeptember 26, 2014 8:48 am | by Joe Miksch, Univ. of Pittsburgh | News | Comments
Electricity and magnetism rule our digital world. Semiconductors process electrical information, while magnetic materials enable long-term data storage. A Univ. of Pittsburgh research team has discovered a way to fuse these two distinct properties in a single material, paving the way for new ultrahigh density storage and computing architectures.
On the road to artificial photosynthesisSeptember 26, 2014 8:04 am | by Lynn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | Comments
The excessive atmospheric carbon dioxide that is driving global climate change could be harnessed into a renewable energy technology that would be a win for both the environment and the economy. That is the lure of artificial photosynthesis in which the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is used to produce clean, green and sustainable fuels.
Hard facts lead to "green" concreteSeptember 26, 2014 7:53 am | by Mike Williams, Rice Univ. | News | Comments
Concrete can be better and more environmentally friendly by paying attention to its atomic structure, according to researchers at Rice Univ., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Marseille Univ. The international team of scientists has created computational models to help concrete manufacturers fine-tune mixes for general applications.
World's smallest reference material is a big plus for nanotechnologySeptember 25, 2014 9:44 am | News | Comments
If it's true that good things come in small packages, then NIST can now make anyone working with nanoparticles very happy. The institute recently issued Reference Material (RM) 8027, the smallest known reference material ever created for validating measurements of man-made, ultrafine particles between 1 and 100 nm in size.
Live long and phosphor: Blue LED breakthrough for efficient electronicsSeptember 25, 2014 8:36 am | News | Comments
Blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are one of a trio of colors used in OLED displays such as smartphone screens and high-end TVs. In a step that could lead to longer battery life in smartphones and lower power consumption for large-screen televisions, researchers at the Univ. of Michigan have extended the lifetime of blue organic light emitting diodes by a factor of 10.
Platelets modulate clotting behavior by "feeling" their surroundingsSeptember 25, 2014 8:31 am | by John Toon, Georgia Institute of Technology | News | Comments
Platelets, the tiny cell fragments whose job it is to stop bleeding, are very simple. They don't have a cell nucleus. But they can "feel" the physical environment around them, researchers at Emory Univ. and Georgia Tech have discovered. Platelets respond to surfaces with greater stiffness by increasing their stickiness, the degree to which they "turn on" other platelets and other components of the clotting system, the researchers found.
Researchers develop simple, one-step method to synthesize nanoparticlesSeptember 24, 2014 12:01 pm | News | Comments
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have introduced a new one-step process using, for the first time in these types of syntheses, potassium superoxide to rapidly form oxide nanoparticles from simple salt solutions in water. An important advantage of this method is the capability of creating bulk quantities of these materials, more than 10 g in a single step.
2-D materials' crystalline defects key to new propertiesSeptember 24, 2014 11:13 am | News | Comments
using an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope, researchers have recently understood how defects in 2-D crystals such as tungsten disulphide can move, or dislocate, to other locations in the material. Understanding how atoms "glide" and "climb" on the surface of 2-D crystals may pave the way for researchers to develop materials with unusual or unique characteristics.
Nanotechnology leads to better, cheaper LEDs for phones and lightingSeptember 24, 2014 10:57 am | by John Sullivan, Princeton Univ. | News | Comments
Princeton Univ. researchers have developed a new method to increase the power and clarity of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Using a new nanoscale structure made from flexible carbon-based sheet, the researchers increased the brightness and efficiency of LEDs made of organic materials by 57%.
A Diamond is R&D's "Synthetic" Best FriendSeptember 24, 2014 10:10 am | by Lindsay Hock, Managing Editor | Articles | Comments
Diamonds aren't just a girl's best friend, they're also R&D's best friend—or at least a new acquaintance. Many laboratories and companies are embracing synthetic diamond for its elevated super properties in applications ranging from analytical instruments and biomedical sensors to electronics and lasers to water purification.
Low-cost, "green" transistor heralds advance in flexible electronicsSeptember 24, 2014 10:02 am | News | Comments
As tech company LG demonstrated this summer with the unveiling of its 18-in flexible screen, the next generation of roll-up displays is tantalizingly close. Researchers are now reporting a new, inexpensive and simple way to make transparent, flexible transistors that could help bring roll-up smartphones with see-through displays and other bendable gadgets to consumers in just a few years.
When a doughnut becomes an appleSeptember 24, 2014 9:46 am | by Barbara Vonarburg, ETH Zurich | News | Comments
In experiments using graphene, researchers in Switzerland have been able to demonstrate a phenomenon predicted by a Russian physicist more than 50 years ago. The observation of the Lifshitz transition, which describes a change in topology, depended on the creation of a double-layer graphene sample of unprecedented quality.
Magnetic field opens and closes nanovesicleSeptember 24, 2014 9:18 am | Videos | Comments
Researchers in the Netherlands have managed to open nanovesicles in a reversible process and close them using a magnet. Previously, these vesicles had been "loaded" with a drug and opened elsewhere using a chemical process, such as osmosis. The magnetic method, which is repeatable, is the first to demonstrate the viability of another method.
New solar cells serve free lunchSeptember 24, 2014 9:07 am | by Poncie Rutsch, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology | News | Comments
A common complaints about solar power is that solar panels are still too expensive. Efforts at making them more efficient or longer-lasting have been limited. A new method developed in Okinawa could solve the expense problem: A hybrid form of deposition is being used to create perovskite solar cells from a mixture of inexpensive organic and inorganic raw materials, eliminating the need for expensive crystallized silicon.
Nanotubes help healing hearts keep the beatSeptember 23, 2014 2:58 pm | Videos | Comments
A Rice Univ. team led by bioengineer Jeffrey Jacot and chemical engineer and chemist Matteo Pasquali have created new pediatric heart-defect patches infused with conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes that allow electrical signals to pass unhindered. The nanotubes overcome a limitation of current patches in which pore walls hinder the transfer of electrical signals between cardiomyocytes, the heart muscle's beating cells.
Nuclear spins control electrical currentsSeptember 23, 2014 2:47 pm | by Katherine Kornei | News | Comments
An international team of physicists has shown that information stored in the nuclear spins of hydrogen isotopes in an organic light-emitting diode (LED) or organic LED can be read out by measuring the electrical current through the device. Unlike previous schemes that only work at ultracold temperatures, this is the first to operate at room temperature, and could be used to create extremely dense and highly energy-efficient memory devices.
Robotic fabric could bring "active clothing", wearable robotsSeptember 23, 2014 2:20 pm | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
Researchers are developing a robotic fabric that moves and contracts and is embedded with sensors, an approach that could lead to "active clothing" or a new class of "soft" robots. The robotic fabric, developed at Purdue Univ., is a cotton material containing sensors made of a flexible polymer and threadlike strands of a shape-memory alloy that return to a coiled shape when heated, causing the fabric to move.
New properties found in promising oxide ceramics for reactor fuelsSeptember 23, 2014 2:14 pm | News | Comments
Nanocomposite oxide ceramics have potential uses as ferroelectrics, fast ion conductors, and nuclear fuels and for storing nuclear waste, generating a great deal of scientific interest on the structure, properties, and applications of these blended materials. Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers have made the first observations of the relationship between the chemistry and dislocation structures of the nanoscale interfaces.
New formulation leads to improved liquid batterySeptember 23, 2014 2:07 pm | by David L. Chandler, MIT | News | Comments
Donald Sadoway and his colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have already started a company to produce electrical-grid-scale liquid batteries, whose layers of molten material automatically separate due to their differing densities. But a newly developed formula substitutes different metals for the molten layers. The new formula allows the battery to work at a much lower temperature.

Comment posted Jackie Baillie MSP calls on SPT to 'get a grip' on Kilcreggan ferry situation by Councillor George Freeman.
As is the norm, this will again be ignored by SPT.
There have been calls for investigations on a number of occasions – nothing happens.
The matter has been raised with Ministers in the Scottish Government – nothing happens.
A motion was agreed in the Scottish Parliament – nothing happens.
Meeting have been held with the SPT Chief Executive and other senior SPT officials – nothing happens (I refused to go to the last meeting the the SPT Chief Executive as I stated that, based on previous experience, it would be a waste of time and nothing would happen.
I await information from Audit Scotland on the investigation that I requested into the tendering and contract award process. Audit Scotland did arrange for KPMG as SPT's external auditors to look into this matter and to report back to them. The timescale for them responding back to me is before the end of the month.
Although external auditors often have cosy relationships with the internal auditors of the organisations that they audit, I am hopeful that KPMG will act totally responsibly and report the clear facts to Audit Scotland.
Unless we get action soon, this matter will be taken to the Ombudsman and further. Further motions to the Council are also being considered. We are not going to rest until this issue has been resolved.
Councillor George Freeman also commented
- Noted the comments from Harry above. I have already informed him that I have previoulsy requested a copy of the Pier Master's report from Council officers. I have also ignored the second set of comments from Local River Worker 2 above unless he or she can identify theselves and not hide behind a pseudonym.
- I have attended meetings with the SPT Chief Executive and almost every Tom, Dick and Harry on this subject over the past 5 months.
The last meeting was a waste of time for everyone who attended as is clear from all the correpondence I continue to receive on this matter.
I have led on this subject since day 1 and have only received thanks and support from everyone for all that I have been doing. This has also been the case at all of the public meetings that I have spoken at on this subject. This is the first negative comment I have had from thousands of emails on the subject over the past 5 months.
This makes me wonder who Hamish Beaton is? He is certainly not from my area or at least he is not on the Electoral Register for my area. This is why he is probably not aware of all that has been going on with regards to this subject.
- MCA have been contacted on numerous occasions and have been fully involved in this saga.
Recent comments by Councillor George Freeman
- Meeting of interested parties on A83 makes Oliver Twist move on Transport Minister
As the Rest and Be Thankful is in my Lomond North electoral ward, I was surprised to read about this meeting which I had no knowledge of. Firstly, we need to remember that, although there are landslips beyond the Rest in the Cowal Ward in Argyll, the major problems with land slips are on the Rest itself, which is part of my Lomond North Ward, which also falls within the Arrochar & Tarbet Community Council area. Having said that, it has been the norm over recent years for local Ward councillors and the Community Council to be ignored when the problems at the Rest are being discussed.
Following the report on For Argyll, I tried to contact the other two ward councillors to confirm if they had been invited to the meeting. As I was told yesterday that Councillor Corry was currently in Sweden and was not available, I contacted Councillor Robert G MacIntyre, who also happens to be the Council's Deputy Lead Councillor for Roads Issues, to ask if he was aware of the meeting. Councillor MacIntyre confirmed that he was contacted late on Thursday by Council staff to ask if he could attend the meeting. Given that the meeting was being held the next morning (Friday) at 10.30 am, this clearly gave him no time to consult with other ward councillors or the Community Council on what was due to be discussed. Given the short notice, it appears that the late invitation to Councillor MacIntyre to attend Friday's meeting was an afterthought. How could Councillor MacIntyre be expected to speak on behalf of Argyll & Bute Council when he had not been given the opportunity to consult with the Council on the issues that were due to be discussed?
Most people tend to forget that the Rest and Be Thankful is NOT in Michael Russell's Argyll & Bute constituency but is in Jackie Baillie's Dumbarton constituency. Having contacted Jackie Baillie yesterday, she has confirmed to me that she "had not heard about the meeting". I wonder what Michael Russell's reaction would be if Jackie Baillie arranged a meeting in Arrochar to discuss an issue that was of major importance to Michael Russell and his constituents but did not give him the courtesy of an invitation or even informing him of the meeting? I doubt if Mr Russell would be been very happy.
It appears to me that the Scottish Government is still not taking the problems at the Rest seriously and are determined to spend as little as possible to try and keep the residents and businesses of Argyll & Bute happy. Would this sort of response be acceptable if this was happening in the central belt? I believe that it certainly would not be acceptable and that the Scottish Government would throw as much money at it as was required to resolve the problem. There again, I am sure that some of those in power think that this is only Argyll, a remote rural area with a small population which does not justify the expenditure required to provide a permanent solution to this problem.
We have heard in the past that there was no money allocated in the Scottish Government's capital programme to provide a permanent solution at the Rest. That may have been acceptable within the three year spending review period at that time, but could not justify the Scottish Government failing to make provision within the new 3 year spending review period.
- Argyl and Bute Councillors in trouble for non-payment of – Council Tax
For the avoidance of any doubt, and to reassure my constituents, I can confirm that I am NOT one of the councillors referred to in the Sunday Post yesterday as having had Council Tax arrears.
My Council Tax has always been payed on time and I have never been in arrears with Council Tax or any other payments to the Council. That reduces the number of councillors in Argyll & Bute to 35 that the Sunday Post could have been referring to.

Neil, given the report in the Sunday Herald, it would appear that, in their opinion, you are now Leader of the Council? Either that, or it is down to the poor quality of the reporting in the Sunday Herald who obviously do not check their facts before running with a story.
It is good to note how disciplined and united your Group is within the Council under your leadership.
- Council by-election result: Labour takes first seat in Argyll and Bute Council since 1999
Warmest congratulations to Neil MacIntyre for a successful campaign. I look forward to working constructively with him over the next three years.
We will now have four MacIntyres on the Council which will no doubt cause a bit more confusion. I just wonder if we will have another MacIntyre standing in the upcoming by-election in Ward 5 – Oban North and Lorn to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Louise Glen-Lee?
- Will Argyll and Bute Council change its name?
Question, on that basis, Argyll no longer exists so why are we using it and why are folk promoting it?

SUNY Upstate, ESF break ground on $22M CNY Biotechnology Research Center
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The transformation of the former Kennedy Square property into the Central New York Biotechnology Research Center began Tuesday when officials broke ground on the 14-acre site in Syracuse.
Leading the ground-breakers was SUNY's new chancellor, Nancy L. Zimpher, Ph.D., who is on her first trip to Syracuse, visiting SUNY Upstate Medical University.
Zimpher's support of the project is key as the Central New York Biotechnology Research Center is a collaborative effort between Upstate and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Foresty.
SUNY Upstate will use approximately four acres of the site to build the Biotechnology Research Center, a $22 million, 60,000 square foot public/private alliance created to stimulate economic activity and create jobs in New York using biotechnology as a driving force. The center will create and support biotechnology, educational and research programs with its major partners, SUNY Upstate and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
The center will seek corporate tenants interested in small medical device development and other medial research, as well as serve as incubator space for start-up biotechnology companies.
Development ideas are being sought for the remaining 10 acres. Early discussions have suggested that the land be used for residential, educational and commercial use. A request for proposals will be issued in the near future to seek development options.
Kennedy Square is a 14-acre parcel located north of campus, bordered by E. Fayette Street on the south, Forman Avenue on the west, E. Water Street to the north and S. Crouse Ave. to the east.

KANSAS CITY, MO - SEPTEMBER 26: Dexter McCluster of the Kansas City Chiefs runs downfield with a 31-yard touchdown reception against the San Francisco 49ers at Arrowhead Stadium on September 26, 2010 in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs won 31-10. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
Kansas City Chiefs running back/wide receiver Dexter McCluster delivered a Thanksgiving meal to an elderly fan and was given an earful for the Chiefs' woes this season. "Y'all better start winning some games," Ms. Louise said. "I've been praying, but y'all got to work a little bit harder." After signing a few autographs and delivering the meal, McCluster acknowledged Ms. Louise's motivational talk.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a graduate of WRHS and I am very surprised how many high ratings this school has gotten. The only thing WRHS excels in is friendliness. The low standards at this school are unbelievable. Teachers are required to accept late work regardless of whether the student was legitimately sick or didn't want to do it on time. They also must allow students to retake tests if they want to. Administration was/is a joke. They do not back their teachers up at all when it's time to discipline them. You wouldn't believe how many times a parent would call in to excuse their sick child and the school wouldn't even know they were absent. The administrations goal isn't to ensure that your child learns, it's to ensure they graduate. There is literally no possible way to fail unless you drop out. It's pathetic and insulting to students who care about their education at all. I attended other high schools as well and none were as disorganized and pathetic as this one. This high school does nothing to prepare students for college or the real world. I recommend looking into other nearby schools if you are considering attending/allowing your child to attend this school.
White River High School has a lot to be proud of. Supportive teachers and staff, innovative administrators, a wide variety of class offerings support for students at all levels, various avenues for student involvement, and great coaches and sports teams. Go Hornets!!!
I am a current student at White River High School and I love it, every school has its flaws and problems but WRHS has turned around a lot from when I was a freshman. We now do the Rachel's Challenge every school year and I believe that the school's bullying and everything has gone down a lot, there are less fights at school. GO WRHS :)
I don't get why people say this school is the WORST school ever. Every school has it's drug problems, and flaws. You tell me ONE school where EVERY student is a little angel, and EVERY teacher is sent from above. Can't think of one, huh? Most of my teachers are very inspiring academically, and personaly. I've learned many new things this year, and all of my teachers push us to strive for perfection. I'm proud to be a WRHS student and look forward to the years to come. P.S: Our school could use a little more parent involvement. Yes, I'm talking to you.
white river seems to be the best school out there, to me anyways.. the people here are so real and down to earth. i went to bonney lake and i couldnt stand the snobbiness and how much the other students were torwards others. i love everything about my school, flaunts and all. the teachers are great and the clubs/sports are amazing. its a great all-around kind of school but its the students that i will never forget, even after 10 years of graduation.
This is my 10th year teaching at White River High School. I am very proud of my school and of the education and caring about students that we offer. Every school has it's pros and cons, and you have to look at both in order to give a true rating. White River has, and continues to have, growing pains. We are not teaching to just the town of Buckley any more. Times are changing and we are growing, the community needs to embrace that fact. The administration and teachers at White River work hard for our students and we will continue to do so. As a teacher the most frustrating things for me are student apathy and lack of parent support. Hard work and dedication pay! It is discouraging to read some of the parent posts on this site. Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a site to rate parents???
While my high school experience was not perfect, I fondly look back on my four years spent at WRHS. I made many lasting friendships with other students and especially the staff. There are numerous teachers who want to be there and who make a difference daily in the lives of the students. The community is really supportive of the sports programs, but the support is lacking when it comes the arts. There is little college prep at the school but that is due to lack of demand.
great school they really help the children
White River has been experiencing major disciplinary and teacher issues. All of which are very concerning. Their special ed math program is questionable, at best. Some teachers more less mature than their students.
I see that the best scores have all been given by current or graduated students. I think I shall be the one to break the mold. White River High School has major issues with discipline and student expectations. If a student misbehaves, their disciplinary system is far too forgiving and with gaping loop-holes. As a student of White River High School, I do not recommend this school to others. It may look beautiful on the outside, but the inside, the students, are rotten to the core.
White River High School has difficulty in protecting our children and with administering discipline in incidents of bullying. Administrators neglect to follow through or to investigation allegations in a timely manner. My family and I have been thoroughtly disappointed in this process and worry about the possibility of tragedy resulting from the lack of immediate attention to such serious matters.
This high school is one of the better schools in washington because of all their programs available to children. But you have to be a perfect student for the school to work for you. So as long as your child is perfect and does not have a problems it is a wonderful school.
As a White River High School graduate and now a college freshman I would say that this school has a great community built around it. There are also some amazing and inspiring teachers there. On the other hand, WRHS did not prepare me for college. The math curriculum is better than average, but the sciences need to be improved dramatically. It's amazing how far behind I have been at college in physics and chemistry. Students need to read more in their classes and teachers should be better instructed in how to take advantage of block scheduling. Maybe the new administration will correct some of problems.
I was an exchange student at White River in 2000. I know it has been quiet a while but I'm still thinking about my old school a lot and wanted to let everybody know that White River is a great school! It's wonderful how the teachers care for the students and I don't remember one day of school that I didn't enjoy while going there. Out of 14 years of school (no worries, in Germany it's normal to attend school this long) my WRHS year was the best. The program offered to kids is really good and classes are fun and educating. The best school I've ever been to!
I graduated in 2004 and have gone all four years. I participated in cross country and track which was a great experience because the coaches were eager to help you in anything you wished. Their teachers are excellent in allowing you to challenge yourself. Actually this gave me the opportunity to participate in the Running Start program which allowed me to get into the University of Washington this fall. Although that could be seen as a downfall because they didnt offer classes that I wanted to take to expand my knowledge in a particular subject(s). The counselors were also great at helping you find your career - thats how I found my love for Marine Biology. Also, this school is constantly growing and helping students get into great colleges. In fact 6 people I know got into the UW and many more got into other great schools.
I went to white river high school 1999-2003. I just wanted to say that White River High School was the best High school I could have gone to. I was actually on this site to look up email address of some of my old teachers because 1 year and 5 months later I still think about White River. All teachers at WRHS are perfect. They make students feel like they have developed a personal relationship while still maintaining a professional relationship as well. I guess what I am saying is I admire the teachers and the also inspired me to be somebody. Vanessa Granger
I am a ninth grader at WRHS. I have gone to WR District my entire life. I agree that all teachers weren't the best but the ones that were are awesome. We have a new principal and vice principal and it has been fun so far this year. I would give this school a thumbs up.
I loved going to this school! Every one of the teachers tried so hard to help every student, even if they weren't theirs. One teacher in particular is Mrs. Campbell. She runs the connections program, which takes high school students and takes them out of their comfort zone and teaches them how to interact with all kinds of people. I was fortunate enough to go through the program twice. I was able to go to an elementary once a week and help some fourth and fifth graders learn new things. The second time i was working with the middle school's special needs students. Out of all the things that i taught them I think they taught me the most important thing. Love everyone. the school is incredible, and I'm proud to have graduated from it!
For the four years that I went to White River High School, I was sure that it was the worst school in the entire world. I hated being in high school. I felt like a complete loser. Now that I'm an adult and I look back on everything I did in school, I feel pride. I feel honored to have gone to a school that holds the students in such high regard. Every teacher I met knew me. They talked to you as a person, not a mere child. I was given every opportunity to be a great student. I thank those teachers and other staff members for that.
I attended this school for 4 years. I enjoyed my time here. Every teacher I had worked with me and tried their hardest to see me succeed. I wasn't the best student. But I'm proud of where I went to school, I think they did a great job with me and many of my peers. It was a fun place to be.

Discussion Forum
I would almost call this an idiom except that the object changes with every situation. In this situation "professional" is used as the highest kind of relationship, so "more than" would not fit. In other situations other objects are plugged in and used as the utmost. For example, "They had a less than private conversation," or "He was less than eager to go on the trip." You will often hear the term, "less than ideal," because ideal is always the highest expectation. But never "more than" because you can't get more than the highest.
Somebody tell me what this is called. Is it really an idiom or something else?
Here is an edit about 10 hours after the original post.
My mind finally kicked in and I realized that the more common expression is "less than perfect." It may be that every other "less than" expression is derived from this. But you'll never see anything that is "more than perfect" unless someone is trying to exaggerate.
I agree with Dilettante. It would be "professional" to keep a cordial distance between two coworkers. Â A romantic relationship in the workplace is still frowned upon in most companies. Of course, this isn't true on TV.
I think, Robert, you're thinking of "more than" in the sense that it would be "more than casual" or "more than friends" in the sense that a romantic rapport is deemed desirable. Â In the same sense, casual partners are often called "friends with benefits" which kind of implies that a platonic friendship doesn't have any benefits.Â
I suppose in your show, the partners in the relationship see their coupling as a plus, but those around them may deem it a minus in that it complicates things in the workplace.Â
True, professionalism is often tarnished by those other things. Exception: it is not grammatically wrong, nor as criticism of the President, to say that he and some closed adviser have a relationship that is more than professional, no? (That can even be an understatement  if it's ,say, John and Bobby K.)

Kreklow was one of eight setters selected.
April 4, 2012
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Mizzou setter Molly Kreklow (Delano, Minn.) has been selected to the USA Volleyball Women's A2 Program, as announced by USA Volleyball. Kreklow was one of eight setters selected to the 48-member team as the 48-member team will be divided into four separate teams. Kreklow will be one of two setters on that team, which will compete for the A2 title in July of this year.
The 48 U.S. Women's National A2 Team Program players hail from 34 different collegiate programs. The A2 program includes eight liberos, 12 middle blockers, 14 outside hitters, six opposites and eight setters. In order to be selected to the A2 teams, players must still have collegiate eligibility as the program recognizes the top players in college volleyball. Coaches selected for the 2012 U.S. Women's National A2 Team Program are Northwestern University's Keylor Chan, San Diego State University's Deitre Collins-Parker, Georgia Tech's Tanya Johnson, Pepperdine University's Nina Matthies and Cal State Northridge's Jeff Stork. One additional coaching position will be filled at a later date.

A modern heritage foodstead
I have an ongoing romance with the notion of apples. Maybe even more than with the apples themselves. Ruddy cheeked and fragrant, apples are a treat for both the eye and the palate. And the variety of projects apples inspire in us: festivals, cider hard and sweet, sauce, butter, pie, dried, spiced, stuffed, baked, fried, vinegar, wine, cakes, the possibilities truly are endless.
I realize I'm jumping ahead with the apple talk just when the long-awaited peaches are hitting their stride. Apples are the fruit of fall here in Pennsylvania. Crisp, snappy days = crisp, tart apples. Trust me; I'm never one to rush a seasonal moment, but there is a timely reason I'd like to talk about apples today.
Raising great apples is an art that fortunately is practiced with care by knowledgeable orchardists around here. I'm not one of them, but I am enthusiastic about the possibility. Fortunately for me, apples are pretty tough and for the most part want to thrive. If I can just figure out how to stay out of their way, I should have more than enough for our needs. That is if I can keep some cloven hooved Ladies we know out of the trees….
One little considered industrial use for apples is the making of commercial pectin. This pectin is mostly imported in bulk from Europe and packaged in the United States. But really, what is it? As it turns out, pectin is a water-soluble substance found in the tissues of all fruits, though some have much more than others. It acts as a thickening and jelling agent. Typically, pectin is extracted either from tart apples or the white pith found under the peel of citrus fruit, both naturally high in pectin. As the citrus pith tends to retain a bit of bitterness, most commercial pectin is derived from apples. Commercial pectin was a great boon to many overworked home preservers upon its introduction in the early 1900's. It's use made preserving much more forgiving and yielded more standard, reliable results.
The great pectin debate among jammers is an interesting one. Myself, I tend to pass on the commercial pectin, but I don't really have any super scientific reason for my avoidance. I just really don't like stiff, rubbery jam or jelly and going without commercial pectin gives a gentle, softer texture that I love. And, a failed batch of jam isn't really a crises in my book – I love ice cream topping, glazes and syrup almost as much, so what's the big deal?
Smugly confident with my anti-commercial pectin decision, I read Linda Amendt's most helpful book, Blue Ribbon Preserves. Linda is firmly in favor of using commercial pectin, particularly in its liquid form. She is also decidedly against the use of homemade pectin stock. If you haven't read her book, and you are a student of the science of preserving, you really should. It's indispensable in my kitchen not just for the recipes (which are plentiful and good) but for the why's and insider tips that help me deviate safely. Needless to say, Linda cast more than a shadow of doubt on my opinionated prejudice against commercial pectin.
I think of making jam and jelly as a Devotion and form of gratitude rather than an assembly line process. Commercial pectin is a shortcut, an equalizer that lowers the quality of the excellent and raises the quality of the poor to achieve a consistent good enough. A bailout of sorts.
It makes me sad that consistent has come to define good with regard to food in America. Agreed, embracing true regional and artisanal food means risking a really disappointing experience from time to time. Maybe even the occasional bellyache. But, that's the price I'm willing to pay to enjoy that sublime surprise you'll rarely find at any chain restaurant or grocery.
If you have an apple tree of your own, or a friend willing to share theirs, apple pectin stock is a great way to use the immature, tart apples that fall or are thinned mid summer. Losing excess apples makes the remaining crop healthier and the fruits larger. Using the unripe green apples to make home-made pectin stock makes sure nothing goes to waste.
Forgive my geekiness, but I think that's pretty exciting in spite of what Linda Amendt thinks. I use the apple pectin stock to glaze sweet pastries and savory roasted meats and make preserves and jelly from fruits, herbs or veggies without enough pectin to jell on their own. And, it's already jelly, so if I never make anything further from it, it's still good on toast or in cocktails. But my most pressing reason for making it is so I can use it later to make onion marmalade.
Pectin stock is not so much a recipe as a formula; learn the proportions and the procedure is easily adaptable. I'm thinking of tart green apples today, but stock can be made from other fruits as well; crabapple, red currant, citrus, certain plums, quince, gooseberries – anything with a high natural pectin content. The thing about apples that makes them so useful is that their flavor is mild and willing to take a back seat so other flavors can shine.
I love that I'm not importing something from afar, I know my apples haven't been sprayed with pesticides and they're free – my favorite price! I accept the variability of the levels of starch in my apples and the varying content of pectin from one apple to the next. If the worst penalty is using up a batch as ice cream topping or syrup when my jam didn't set, that's a penalty I can happily accept. Honestly, it's rarely happened.
What about you? Commercial pectin or no? I'd love to hear your enlightened opinions in the comments below…..
I am not the best canner but the when I used commercial pectin my jam was rubber! Still didn't go to waste, piggies love my goops! I have some blackberry jam that did not jell but it is awesome on pancakes! Gooseberry jam doesn't need pectin. it sets up so nice. I still have pectin but I don't plan to use it again. Guess it is collecting dust. I love that you are growing apples! I can't keep a tree alive long enough! My other fruit trees and bushes thrive.
I'm pretty solidly anti-pectin. Maybe because the first jam (and only for many years) I made was apple butter… It just seems a bit of a cheat, unless I'm trying to jam something that REALLY doesn't have enough pectin of its own. But usually I don't really have a problem getting the jam set enough for me. Which is the other side of the equation. I don't like hard jam, and am generally using about half the jam to flavor homemade yogurt. For me, soft and goopy is infinitely preferable to hard. I actually WANT the jam to mix easily into yogurt. At a certain level of hardness, one might as well keep going and have Turkish Delight!
New here, I have an apple tree question or maybe you have a post on trees that I haven't found yet. I have two apple trees, we moved here 3 Springs ago :) My apples are so buggy, I want organic apples, but I haven't found a real way to deal with this problem. I have August apples and they are about ready, but I fear they are all lost. We prune, but need someone to come out and do a major cut back. We did manage to get some sauce and butter last year, but it was horrible cutting most of the apple away. I have a food mill, expecting it to help ease the process, but now, I won't have any apples unless I buy them.
Thanks! I will get it!!

Comments about Magnolia Brush Metal Handle Flagged Black Plastic Bristle Large Angle Broom:
Twice we requested the broom bristle which apparently was not part of the order even though the description surely described it as a whole part. Twice I received the handle and never the broom bristle. On discussion with Staples.com was told it was a separate item but they offered another brand and fearing these would not fit I cancelled the order. Very disappointed.

Theatre Arts presents "Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge"
In Christopher Durang's departure from Dickens, The Ghost tries to show Scrooge his past, present and future in order to change him, but her magic keeps malfunctioning and they consistently find themselves transported to the wrong time and place. She tries to take Scrooge back to see his old employers, the Fezziwigs, but instead she and Scrooge keep appearing in the present at the Cratchit's pathetic home. Mrs. Bob Cratchit rather join Scrooge on his journey. You're sure to laugh ceaselessly as Scrooge's tale of redemption and gentle grace is placed squarely on its head.
Performances are December 4, 5 & 6 in the theatre. Tickets are available now!

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Phoenix Public Library part-time (more than 10 years)Pros
The work environment is friendly, upbeat, casual and modern, and the schedule is pretty flexible. Many part-time positions that were previously frozen were opened for hiring, and hours have expanded to include more evenings at certain locations. More funding is now available for services and programs that were previously discontinued or not possible during the economic slump. Things are looking up!Cons
There is a disconnect between those working with the public and some administration, but the Director at the top is making good efforts to improve the connections.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Make yourself visible to employees on their turf at all levels during public hours. Connect with the customers in some way. Get a clear idea of the dynamics playing out in each branch and section.RecommendsPositive Outlook

I worked at Phoenix Public LibraryPros
Very flexible with hours for students.
Decent wage.
Working with books.
Easy work environment.
Friendly co-workers.Cons
The huge hours cut for part-time employees.
Very poor benefits for p/t.
Those elusive f/t positions that people jump for and then cling on to until retirement! Not that that's a bad thing, but it makes advancing very difficult.
I always enjoyed and respected my direct supervisors and bosses but there was always some tension with those in the glass tower who seem to forget the lowly Sort staff.
Dirty books! I love books but people really need to treat books better.Recommends
