Thanks again for the duckie tour yesterday Sam. You helped give my kids confidence that simply can't be gained easily. They will be better for the experience. We will come back here again.
Brett, Jessica & Cade Rylands
The Girl Scouts had a GREAT time. Thank you again! Thanks,
Barb Hawk, 2011
I would like to thank you for everything today. The weather wasn't all that great but your staff and our experience on the river was. Josh went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day, and we did. Thank you again you have a loyal customer for life.
-Frankie Aldino, 2011
Hi Guys, I received your letter today and YES everyone had a super/fantastic/awesome time. They are all ready to come back, some are wanting to try a different river. Something with a little more white water. Even our first timers had a blast. I am not good with names, but please thank our Guides. They were both Super. From the van ride to the river, to the nstructions, and the trip down the river, These Guys were Great. Also, please thank the people who I contacted from the start, (when I first made the contact about information), when we arrived (parking our bikes in a safe area), and well, you Guys made our whitewater rafting trip a great all around experience. Hope to see ya next year, Thanks again,
-Tommy Overton, 2010
My husband and I took our first adventure with "Ryan". We appreciated his politeness and his talent of his profession. He did a great job and we are looking forward to coming back and bring friends to experience the adventure.Although, I am ready for the next level! We would not go anywhere else except Endless River Adventures.Thanks,
Dorothy and George Sweatt
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for going "above and beyond" concerning our rental Saturday. I rented two double ducks and a single for my wife, son, daughter in law and two grand kids. I was kayaking along with them and you graciously shuttled my boat along with theirs....I'd like to think that all of the companies operating in the gorge offer the same sort of service as you, but I'm just not sure. I've had dealings with ERA in the past with instruction and gear purchase and were always impressed. I continue to be.Thanks Again,SYOTR, -Mike Hancock, 2010
Thank you for a great raft trip on Monday! We really enjoyed it and Josh was a great guide. Russell Dunn and family
HI! My daughter and I rafted with you all yesterday. We were there with Mary Mills, who planned the trip. Sam was our AWESOME guide!!! I just wanted to take a minute to tell you all what you should already know...you are wonderful! From the minute we got out of the car yesterday morning till we left last evening, you were all so friendly and oh so professional. I was able to observe other companies and their guides and crew at the take out and you all are by far THE BEST! We will be back with you guys, and I have already recommended you all to some friends of ours. Thanks for a wonderful trip! Kelleye and Kami Green, 2010
ERA does an amazing job encouraging paddlers and families on the river. Over the past couple of years, our family has joined ERA for four trips down the Nantahala in a raft and duckies, three full-day trips down the Ocoee, and one trip down the Cheoah. Without exception, every trip has been utterly enjoyable and marked by professionalism and enthusiasm that speak volumes about the quality operation that you run. Guides Rob, Steve, Brian, Jeb, Sarge, and other ERA staff members have been dependable and encouraging, particularly for my three sons--ages 18, 15, and 9--who are developing a real love for the river. We consider our trips with you thus far just the beginning and look forward to many more adventures with ERA. My oldest sons are talking about kayaking and new rivers, and I look forward to the continuing bonding and FUN experiences with them. Your website states that "spending time with [ERA] can be a catharsis to the reality of hectic schedules," and this is so true. We count on many more trips to the Gorge, ERA, and the rivers. Thanks again for the hard work that you and your staff put into all that you do, and please keep running the rivers for many years to come! Thank you!
- Ethan Hildreth(and Crystal,Kemble (18),Dane (15),Laura (12),Joe (9) & Lee (6))
P. S. Also, a special thanks for the great meals from Juliet on the Ocoee double! The sandwiches and treats are just right halfway through the river.
Just wanted to say thanks for giving my girls a wonderful time going down the Nanny. Sarge, You're awesome. They enjoyed it so much they want to do the kids camp!! Neither one of them have boated before and my 12 year old is a bit skittish when it comes to the water so I wasn't sure if there was something for them to do each day or if there were particular days for them. See ya soon.
-Chad Cook, GA, 2009
Just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of us. We look forward to going down the river next year with you. It is too bad we didn't discover Endless Rivers sooner!
-Nelson Evans, Master Chief, USN(ret), NJROTC, 2009
To the Crew at ERA; Thank you the awesome trip :) And for your patience with our late arrival this morning. We look forward to another adventure with your company! Good times. Best,
- Brad & Adriana, Memphis, TN
Just wanted to let you know how much fun we had on our first rafting trip on the Nantahala two weeks ago. Everyone with your company was so friendly and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed having Danny as our guide. Ocoee is our next trip we want to take when we come back.Thanks,
-Kelly & Laura, 2009 PS. The Mini Cooper made it back home safe and sound to Louisiana thanks to you!
We would like to say how much we enjoyed our river rafting this past Monday. We certainly appreciated the quality of your company, the way they prepared us for the trip, and in the way they cared for us the whole time. We would like to thank Joshua especially. What a pleasure it was to have him guide us. He instructed us, guided us, and showed urgency in his voice only when necessary--but he was never overly demanding. He made us feel comfortable and safe; we had a truly enjoyable experience. Joshua is pleasant, interesting, and has a great sense of humor; he is a true asset to your company.
-Myles and Jeannine Standish, SC 2009
Dear Ken and Crew: I wanted to send you a note to let you know what a fantastic time we hadriver rafting the Nantahala River with your company. We really appreciate you accommodating us. There were twelve of us there to raft or a Saturday. We were attending a wedding at the Nantahala Village Resort. Although we contacted you at the last minute,you refused to turn us away and went straight to work getting us two boats for Saturday. Our Guides were experienced and reassuring. We had 4 kids under twelve! Sarge was the guide in my boat. What a great guy. He was clear with instructions and such a wealth of experience. We enjoyed listening to his stories as we floated during some of the calmer waters. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience,
-Anita C. Pryor, Esq. and Terrell Hogan, Jacksonville, FL
Thanks so much for a great experience! It was a pleasure working with your company and should we visit the area again, we'll definitely be in touch!
Jason Caillier, Minister of Students, South Main Baptist Church, Pasadena, TX 2009
Thank you for a fun day!! Next time we will be ready for the ocoee!!
Sincerely, Gina Kane, Estero, Fl 2009
Hi Sarge, Taz, Kim and Kelly........the Red Hatters had a BLAST on the river with you on May 2. We will never forget the fun each one of us had with you. From the river, we headed to Stone Mountain and enjoyed the laser light show....As I said, we all had a great time and of course, we will get back when we can!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!
-Susan Gomez, FL 2009
Our family had a truly FANTASTIC trip down the Nantahala with Sarge and Ian....[your] email with genuine concern over our best interests in receiving a quality trip with ERA was what brought us to you guys on Saturday and that Sarge and Ian is what will bring us back hopefully this summer to ride the Ocoee with ERA!! You guys are a fabulous "family" and we enjoyed spending our afternoon with you. Only wished it was longer, but will make it an all day trip next time! We had so much fun that a picture would be great to help document the day!
-Orianna, Ron, Justin & Robert 2009
Thanks a bunch for making our day on the river so much fun. The girls are still excited. They have told all their friends. We are looking forward to hearing from you about a fun patch. Hope that works out. Have a great day!
- Stephen Grause 2008
"What a treat! We had so much fun. The day was perfect, beautiful scenery and an absolutely wonderful 2 1/2 hours on the river. John was GREAT and gave us the ride we were looking for. I can't wait until our return visit. Everyone there has been wonderful.... from my first phone call to our goodbyes. You may be the smallest but to us you're the BEST! Don't ever change. THANKS A MILLION!" - Linda and Loren Harrison, 2007 "Sarah and I would like to thank you for an amazing day of rafting. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to the Smokies so far… Sarge was welcoming, fun, and knowledgeable. In addition he made the trip an experience rather than just another float down a river. By far the best rafting experience we have had so far. We saw three bears on the way home today. A mother and two cubs capping off what we deem the best day yet. Hope y'all do well this coming season and we hope to see you sooner than later with a whole bunch of our friends. You came highly recommended and exceeded our expectations."
- Greg and Sarah Kern, 2007
"My family and I flew down to visit my aunt and uncle in Georgia. They were telling me about white water rafting; on July 29th we visited your wonderful establishment. Our guide was a man by the name of Juney... He was awesome in our trip! We had a blast with him... we couldn't have asked for a better guide!!
I want to take the time out to thank you for a wonderful first experience in the sport of white water rafting!! We are working hard here in Ohio to come back down next year for another adventure with you. Thanks again!" - Christine Ensell, 2007 "Reflecting on things, it has been over 8 years since our relationship first began. Every year I am more and more impressed and satisfied with the service Endless Rivers provides to my students and for my programs. We had an amazing time this past weekend, and although we only rented boats, I was still appreciative of the time and attention that your staff gave to our group during the pre-trip orientation and while we were on the river. The best (out of many) comment that I heard was from a staff member who had been reluctant to go on the trip say as soon as we got to the take-out, that he was ready to head back up river and do it again!" - Joseph Pate, Director of the Center for Outdoor Leadership at Pfeiffer University, 2007 "Thank you for letting us raft with you this past weekend. All of the students enjoyed the river and spoke very highly of your guides. I appreciate the level of professionalism and direct focus on safety. Thank you for an overall fun and exciting experience. We look forward to working together again in the future."
- Mike Pletsch, Georgia Tech Outdoor Recreation Department, 2006=
"Hi Guys! We had so much fun…we'll be back before you know it! Thanks for taking care of us on the Nantahala and the Ocoee!"
- Jack Nadia, 2006
"Thanks a "boat load"! This was a great trip, very efficiently run and super fun. Sarge was a terrific guide and everybody involved proved to be capable and courteous. Will recommend to any and all!"
- Barry and Barbara Humphreys, 2006
"I wanted to thank everyone at ERA for the great time you provided and the personal touch we would not find at the 'big' outfitters. My friends, Adam, Lisa, and I, took the flatwater kayak tour of Calderwood Lake on Thursday. We were under the auspicious guidance of Sarge. He entertained us with great stories and tips while on the float. I'm proud to say I was the first in our group through the train tunnel that day - a highlight! We also enjoyed saying hello to Sarge as he guided trips down the Nanny right past our campsite later that week. Lisa and I took a trip down the Ocoee with Kelly, Philly, and Juliet. As calm and peaceful as the Calderwood float was, Ocoee was as intense and thrilling... New experience, new thrill! Kelly was the guide in our raft, and she was top notch. We didn't loose a soul. Again, great stories, name histories, and tips were shared. Even a traffic jam, due to the impatience of youth, didn't slow us down. I commend you all for the professionalism and personal touches I found in every experience I had with Endless River Adventures. You've made an ERA supporter out of me!"
- Scott Hildreth, 2006
"I have bringing my grandchildren, my nieces and nephews and friends of all ages from all over the states, to Endless River for several years now. They've had kayak lessons, trout fishing lessons and rafted the river. You always make us feel welcome and that we are among true professionals. Thanks for the great job you're doing and we'll see you in the spring!"
- Helen McVicker, 2006
"You guys have such a wonderful company. We can't wait to come each year! We will never raft with anyone else. You are always so nice and pleasant and the guides are so much fun."
- Deborah, 2005
"We just visited the Nantahala gorge for the first time… We called your place the first time and spoke with Jennifer. We are so happy that we found Endless River Adventures on the web. From our first call to Jennifer and booking confirmation, through her assistance getting us to our trip after our vehicle broke down, continuing to our first rafting experience with Patrick which led to a second reservation two days later by Trish, then a ducky trip down the river led by Phillip in a raft, and Sarah on the ducky with us paddling our 5 year old with her. You all have made our vacation a fantastic time… The family has come away falling in love with the river rafting and kayaking experience. Your staff has everything to do with that. Everyone that we had an encounter with during our trip made us feel welcome, and showed genuine concern for our enjoyment as well as our overall safety on the river. We were even treated to seeing Ken in the water showing us a roll in the kayak. We know are seriously contemplating taking up kayaking as a family activity, and although you are not right around the corner, our lessons and training will be with you and your staff. Thank you for making our vacation such a pleasurable trip."
- The Silverman family, 2005
"I just wanted to say what a great time we had yesterday. Patrick and Brian were fabulous, experienced, and professional (but laid back). Next time we go rafting – ERA will be our top pick. Thanks so much!" - Kim Miller, 2005 "Thanks for a fantastic day! My group really enjoyed themselves! Your people are all great, a special thanks to John and Trish for going over and above great customer service norms to make our day! The rain and high water level only served to make a better show. Thanks also to Nancy for awesome hot chocolate."
- Donald Johnson, 2005
"Thanks to Joe & Ken for an awesome day on the Ocoee, we had more fun than we thought we could have. Will definitely be back, hopefully soon!"
-Brianna Kratz, 2011
We had the best time yesterday on the Ocoee with Josh and Rob. Thanks for the awesome time and we look forward to seeing you all again before the end of summer for another run.
-Shannon Loveless, 2011
We had a blast on the Ocoee today!!! Thanks Josh, you were awesome! We will be seeing you guys again soon! :-)
-Brittany Kirby, 2011
Many thanks to you guys (especially Josh as well as Kelly, Danny and Rob)
for Saturday on the Ocoee. We are quite the novices but no one made us
feel that way. A great time as well as very safe and personable. Customer
for life and I'll be recommending you to anyone I meet.
- Matt Davidsaver, 2011
I would like to thank you (Kelly) and the other guides for making my
first ever rafting trip very enjoyable. I do hope to see you guys again. I
will highly recommend your company for future trips. Thank you again for
the safe and very fun [Ocoee/Cheoah] trip. Thank you,
-Donna Carpenter, 2011
As each of you know, first descents are always memorable, whether on the Nanny, the Harpeth or the Upper Ocoee. Those times are even more important for me now as I have a beautiful 13 year old to introduce my love of the rivers to. It makes me very happy that I have you guy's available, bridging my past with you, to his introduction/future whitewater experience. Our run on the upper Ocoee, with Ryan at the helm, was such a overpowering experience that I still have difficulty describing. And in a sense that seems appropriate as mystical experiences are rarely expressed with words that convey the impact of the experience. On a lighter note, my son doesn't seem to have any lack of words for our trip. And Juliet, the meal you provided for us was really Over the Top. Everything was just wonderful and so so needed. Delicious ! I very much look forward to the remainder of this year and the next to get to work with you and to spend some time with you remarkable staff members. Thank you seems embarrassingly inadequate, but for now it's all I can say.
-Randall Haislip , 2010
We went with Kelly down the Ocoee (upper and middle) on Sunday, July 4th. WHAT A GREAT TIME!!! She was a fabulous water guide, AND also conscientious, hard-working leader. Thank you for a great time.
Judy/Ben, 2010
I just wanted to tell you how much fun we had yesterday with your crew on the Ocoee. We had a BLAST... Ian should be "guide of the week" he ran the river flawlessly even surfing us on Hells Hole... Man he is good, Hats off to the one who prepared lunch perfect menu for the river.,. I will be back , hopefully soon. ontinue the great service - have a wonderful summer.
-Greg Murchison, 2010
I just wanted to take a couple of minutes to let you guys know how AWESOME our trip down the Ocoee was on Sunday, September 27th! Despite he fact that the rapids were insanely high and possibly dangerous; your uides (Rob and Kelly) and coordinator (Juliet) refused to give up on aking it happen for us! It was my birthday and I had scheduled my ntire family (well, most of us J) to do something different for once. Where myself, and a few others had done 3 / 4's before; it was new to most of them. Rob and Kelly made it a ride we'll never forget! They were fun, engaging, and most of all had a sense of humor (laughed @ us and themselves). We never once felt unsafe. I will not hesitate to take this trip again w/ Endless River Adventures (preferably w/ Rob and Kelly). I would also recommend your company to anyone interested. Thanks so much for a great experience!
- Tina Heaslip, Hoschton, Georgia 2009
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for two great weekends on the Ocoee! My dad had an absolute blast and wants to go again before it gets too cold and I will hopefully be up for a paddling lesson soon. I'll be referring all my clients and friend to ERA. Thank you again. -Shannon Loveless, 2009 I want to thank you again for the wonderful day we had on the Ocooe, thanks to your great organization. YOu have a great outfitter--truly unique and personal. We will recommen you to everyone! Sincerely,
Beetz & Dick (Ian'sparents) 2009
Just a quick note to let you know "We had a blast!" The Endless River Team was awesome ! You guys have always been pros and you further validated my decision to only use you when rafting the rivers you serve. Have a great day and thanks again. -Jim, 2009 Hi, my name is Beth Tuthill, my three friends and I visited your wonderful facility on Sept. 13th 2008. We went rafting on the Ocoee River. We had an amazing time on the river and with our AWESOME three guides, Steve, Kelly and Josh. Steve was very informative, knowledgeable, professional, yet fun and personable. All of the guides were GREAT! It's very rare to get that great of a combo. That made for a very memorable experience! I wanted to let you know that we were very satisfied with your excellent service and couldn't ask for anything more. The service was excellent from the first time we spoke with your crew on the phone, to the fun and friendly conversation on the van ride back! I would definitely LOVE to come back sometime and experience a new river with your great CREW! Thanks for everything,
-Beth Tuthill, OHIO 2008
I just wanted to tell everyone at ERA, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. My friend and I went on Aug 28th and had the best time ever and was treated so awesome. The guides were fabulous and so well experienced. Whom ever prepared the lunch, hands down! Fantastic lunch and we appreciated all the time and effort that went along with that. Thank you! I couldnt of asked for a better time, and the best b-day yet!!!! We will be returning next summer for sure!
-Erica Miller, FL 2008
We all had such a good time this past weekend !!! Cant wait for next summer-- we are already making plans to come back again. In our raft our guide was Steve and he is now my HERO !!!! All of the guides we have had in the past with Endless River have been super, but Steve was the Bomb, he kept us all safe and in our raft the entire trip. Thanks for a wonderful time !!!!!!!
- Cathy Floyd, 2008
Thank you and your guides (Jeff was ours and he was great!) for an awesome raft trip down the Ocoee. We can't wait to raft with ya'll again!!
-The DeLong Family and Friends, 2008
"Hi There! Don't try this at home, these are professionals, that have been trained for this extreme sport.The Ocoee River is where the 96' Olympics were held, these are all class 3 and 4 rapids.It was a hell of a ride. Our rafting guide was great, he made us feel like we were ready for the Olympics. We sure felt like we were after rafting this challenging river. We had a couple of rapids that almost got the best of us, but didn't, we paddled hard and fast and paddled our way out, I think we were hearing banjo music."
This is the email we sent to our friends to show how much fun that we had rafting with you guys around July 13 2008. Please show Jeff. The files were shrunk down pictures for emailing, so probably will not print too well. If you want the full size file just let me know. -Regards
-Rich and lois Neuroth, 2008
Guides Kelly & Jeff (the Dynamic Duo!) "What a blast!!" Thanks so much for a safe and fun "private" trip--Can't wait to do it again. Have a great year.
- The Olds Family, 2008
I just wanted you both to know that Alex and Lindsay and their friends had an absolute ball rafting down the Ocoee last Friday. They told me that Link was the BEST! They were sure that you had given your banker extra special treatment by sending him. I have the best picture of all of them and will email it soon. It was the first time ANY of them had been down and he couldn't believe they lived here and hadn't rafted. I guess they've led a sheltered life! HA! Anyway, Alex is leaving for Costa Rica on the 9th and will get a taste of rafting there soon. Thanks so much for taking care of them! Hayden was a little disappointed that he couldn't go, but in two more years, he can. Until then, David will have to take him down the Nantahala! Have a great 4th of July!
-Melanie Hughes, 2008
I had a great time seeing everyone when I was back for my visit! A bit hout-out to Linc for making sure my family was safe and sound on the Ocoee raft trip. Thanks a million for creating priceless memories for 3 generations of Parker women! Love you guys!
-Trish Parker 2008
I wanted to personally write and thank you and ERA for a great whitewater experience (Upper/Middle Ocoee Trip). Kelly, Jeff and Linc were lots of fun and we felt we were in good hands with safe & experienced fuides. Thanks again & look forward to rafting with ERA in the future.
-Nicki Warr 2008
"This long weekend I had such a great time with my friends in your river rafting adventures on Ocoee river. Well the rafting was fun, and then our guide Mr. Mefford was fantastic. It was awesome fun, never believed it to be that much. Just wanted to say keep the good work going... especially to our raft buddy Mefford."
-Vick, 2006
"Hi, I wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip this past Saturday. Our guides did a great job. This was my second trip down the river and my daughter's first. Our guide's name was Jeff. He did a wonderful job with the kids. He made them feel at ease on the river. The last time I went down the river, Steve was our guide. My sister was in the other raft with Kelly as their guide. They liked the job she did as well. Thanks again for a really great trip. We will be seeing ya'll next year."
- Darryll Gregg, 2006
"This is Joseph Pate from Pfeiffer University and I would like to extend my appreciation and praise to Endless River Adventures and your staff for our successful trip down the Ocoee with you last weekend! The students came back that night and talked non-stop about what an incredible time they had. Specifically, they said that their raft guides, Judd, Rob, and Ryan, were "top shelf," and made the experience that much better. I have never had anything but positive experiences with your company and continue to recommend you to anyone I come in contact with who is interested taking trips down the Ocoee and Nantahala. I regret I was unable to be there, but it is a testament to your company of the trust and confidence I have in you and your guides that I felt comfortable staying at home with my wife and new born. Thank you again for another great season!"
- Joseph Pate, 2006
"Another AWESOME rafting trip with Endless River Adventures. This is the 2nd year in a row that we've gone rafting with you… Everyone had a blast and can't wait to do it again next year. The combo is the way to go. Lunch was great. Although we requested the same guides as last year, we did get Jeff, the other guide was new to us, Philly was great. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. We will all see you again next year.
- Amy, 2006
"I'd like to start by telling you that I looked at so many white water rafting companies, from WV, TN, and NC. Endless River Adventures was by far the best… Steve, Jeff and Joe were our guides, and they were awesome. Not only did we have the best rafting experience, but our guides also had a lot of information about the history of the Ocoee. I had never been white water rafting and was the most scared in our group. I even considered not going and I ended up having so much fun I can't wait to do it again. I really paid attention to all the other rafting companies that were on the Ocoee that day. Everyone in our group felt that our guides were by far the best and most experienced while having fun and keeping our safety a priority. Thank you all very much…we will see you again, and also pass on to our friends and family how awesome you all are."
- Amy Windisch, 2005
"We rafted the Nantahala and the Ocoee double header... We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed ourselves. Your guides were the greatest (our hats are off to Kelly!!). We felt like we were treated as friends and not just clients. We were shown personalized attention and not herded around like some other rafting companies seem to do… This is our second year in a row rafting with you and we will not hesitate to use your rafting for all of our future trips. Hopefully next trip we will dare 'the ducky' for our trip down the Nanty. Thanks again. Look forward to seeing you next year." - Tre and Becky Howard;
Jason and Leslie Chapman, 2005
Lauren and I would first like to tell you how much fun we had yesterday on the
Cheoah. Your team's professionalism and love for what they are doing made a very
cold day wonderful. We will definitely be back next year. Secondly, we are very
much interested in a picture cd for both of our trips yesterday down the Cheoah
(Daniel was our guide). Thanks for a great adventure on our honeymoon, we
will remember it forever.
-Lauren & Jason Babb, 2011
Thank you so much for the CD of pics. They turned out so good. I've been showing everyone at work and telling them if they ever do it they should go to you. Hobbit and Brian were great guides. We know that has a lot to do with it. We wish we could do it every week. J Well, take care and have a great summer. Thanks again,
- Chad & Nancy Adams, 2008
"My boyfriend Lamar and I spent three days with your crew, private kayak instruction and rafting the Ocoee and Cheoah. We enjoyed every second and will be back for more very soon. Thanks for making our trip memorable. Also I would like to personally thank Steve for his wonderful patience and awesome teaching skills. Thanks again."
- Jennifer Patzkowsky, 2007
"I completed the morning Cheoah River trip yesterday and it was incredible!! Mike, Matt, Judd and Brian did a fantastic job as our guides and it was a pleasure interacting with Sara as she shuttled us back and forth. I've done business with numerous rafting companies over the years and Endless Rivers is by far the friendliest and most professional. Thank-you very much for making me aware of the opportunity for the Cheoah trip. I plan to take a group of people to the Ocoee later this summer and I will definitely be contacting Endless Rivers to help me make that happen." -

$60m settlement in Credit Sails debacle
The firms involved with the Credit Sails fiasco have agreed to cough up $60 million to investors, equating to about 85c in the dollar for those eligible for access to the pool of funds.
Tuesday, 18 December 2012
by Niko Kloeten
The Commerce Commission has reached a settlement with Forsyth Barr, France-based Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Cayman Islands-based Credit Sail and Calyon Hong Kong, who were responsible for marketing the product to New Zealand investors.
Credit Sails were sophisticated debt securities marketed and sold to the New Zealand public in 2006 with the prospect of 8.5% interest income and capital protection.
Credit Sails raised $91.5 million from New Zealand investors before they failed in 2008 when a number of companies in its corporate debt portfolio including Lehman Brothers fell over; the notes are now virtually worthless.
On the information available, the Commission estimates the total loss for those eligible for a share of the settlement fund is around $70 million.
The regulator said the parties had likely breached the Fair Trading Act by marketing the product to the general public even though the Credit Sails were "highly complex and unsuitable for the average investor".
Under the settlement the regulator has agreed not to prosecute the companies, which deny that they have breached the Fair Trading Act and do not agree with the Commission's views which have not been tested in court.
Investors are eligible for a payment if they still hold Credit Sails that were bought before November 1, 2008 (when the credit rating was downgraded to CCC), or those who bought before then and sold them for less than 85c per note.

NEW YORK — With the uncertainty of Steve Howe's future, talk around the Yankees has concentrated on the bullpen. An even more serious concern may be the rotation, particularly because a starting pitcher likely will be moved to the pen if Howe is suspended a seventh time.
Scott Kamieniecki had the latest non-winning start for the Yankees Saturday in a 6-2 loss to the Tigers. It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Yankees and sixth consecutive winless start for the rotation.

This Herb Became A Hit In The Domestic Nutrition: It Keeps The Heart Health, Cleans The Blood And Regulates The Digestion!
Despite its recognizable taste, this herb is also considered as a great antioxidant and it is rich with numerous health benefits.
It is about a Mediterranean sprouting herb, called Arugula, and it's part of the broccoli family. It has a bittersweet taste, and unlike the wild arugula, the domestic one is bigger and sweeter.
The arugula is rich with the vitamin C, carotene, the vitamins B complex, pectin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium and copper. It contains mostly water and has lots of carbohydrates and proteins. Contains also active compounds with anti-carcinoma effects, acts positively to our health and decreases the risk of many diseases. The arugula is especially significant in the case of breast cancer.
This herb has many health benefits. The experts highlights that the arugula keeps the heart, decreases the risk of many diseases and contains substances with anti-carcinoma benefits. It's considered as a natural antibiotic, regulates the digestion, it's used for curing of ulcer, osteoporosis, chronic constipation, flu and cough. Besides, the arugula cleans the blood, improves the healing of the liver and decreases the risk of breast cancer.
Despites its specific taste, it's best to consume it fresh, in salads, although it keeps few healing benefits during cooking.

DDA to wrap up probe in 3 days
In a remarkable turnaround, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Tuesday decided to conduct a probe into its controversial draw of lots for 5,328 apartments, held last month.delhi Updated: Jan 06, 2009 23:25 IST
In a remarkable turnaround, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Tuesday decided to conduct a probe into its controversial draw of lots for 5,328 apartments, held last month.
The change in stand came just a day after DDA Housing Commissioner Asma Manzar claimed the draw was "100 per cent fool-proof."
3-member panel constituted
On Tuesday, DDA Vice-chairman AK Nigam constituted a three-member committee to look into the process of allotment of flats and the alleged irregularities. The committee has three days — till January 9 — to submit its report.
Hasty probe?
But the three-day deadline has raised eyebrows. "First, DDA hurried through the process of scrutinising the application forms before holding the draw of lots. Now, it wants to rush through the inquiry process also. How can it complete such a mammoth inquiry in just three days," asked Udit Raj, Chairman of the SC/ST Commission.
On Monday, Manzar had conceded the possibility of irregularities at the time of submission of applications.
Procedures, forms will be scrutinised
"The mandate of the committee will be to check whether DDA had followed all the laid down procedures. It will also go through the applications selected for the lottery to see whether there were any irregularities in the forms submitted to the agency," said a senior DDA official.
The committee is headed by Nand Lal, Financial Advisor, and has two members — BK Gupta, Deputy Legal Advisor, and Alok
Swarup, Director, Vigilance.
Central pressure
The move to form a committee comes a day after Jaipal Reddy, Union Urban Development Minister, directed DDA to hold a high-level internal inquiry into the allotments. The Minister of State for Urban Development, Ajay Maken, had also written to DDA on Saturday, directing it to hold an internal inquiry into the allotment process.

Wind Turbine Efficiency
Efficiency is an important consideration in energy technology. Energy always comes from some raw source –
In the process of conversion, energy is lost. How much energy is lost is an inverse measure of energy efficiency. That is to say, the more efficient the technology is, the less energy will be lost.
Wind energy from a wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of wind into a different kind of motion to drive a generator, and then into electric current. Energy is lost at both transitions. The efficiency of a wind generator determines how much electricity will be produced from a given amount of wind by a given generator.
Equation For Wind Turbine Efficiency
The equation to use for wind turbine efficiency is;
P=0.5 x p x A x Cp x V cubed x Ng x Nb
Where P=wind power, p=air density, A=rotor swept area, Cp=coefficient of performance, V=wind velocity, Ng=generator efficiency, and Nb=gear box bearing efficiency. A web site where this calculation can be made online is found here.
There are two main factors in wind turbine efficiency inherent in the equipment itself (other factors are found in the wind, which allows greater efficiency in generation at some speeds than others). These two factors are the efficiency of the drive train or gear box that converts the wind's kinetic energy into the turbine's movement (mostly a function of friction), and the generator efficiency, which determines how much of that transferred
kinetic energy is converted into electricity versus lost as waste heat.
The theoretical limit of efficiency for a wind turbine is found by Betz' Law, which was published in 1919 by Albert Betz, a physicist. It's based on the concepts of conservation of mass and air stream momentum and holds that no wind turbine can capture more than 59.3 percent of the kinetic energy in wind. In practice, the most efficient commercial-
Comparison To Other Forms Of Energy
It's difficult to make meaningful comparisons in terms of energy efficiency between wind power and fossil fuel energy because the original sources of energy are so different. Wind power is limited only in terms of flow, while fossil fuels are limited in terms of both flow and stock. That is to say, both types of energy can be used only at
certain rates, but fossil fuels also have limited stockpiles in the planet and the supply of them can be exhausted, while that cannot happen with wind power. A more meaningful comparison than overall efficiency is the energy produced for consumption by each method minus the energy consumed to produce it, or net energy gain.
This is also somewhat difficult because the net energy gain of fossil fuels is dropping, while that of wind energy and other renewable sources is rising. Net energy gain for fossil fuels is dropping because the most easily-
What this means is that in the long run, the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy will increasingly be better than that of fossil fuels as time goes by.

Slow or Off-Peak Winter Season at Tokyo Disneyland
One of the first things you think of when you begin planning for Tokyo Disney Resort is "when should I visit." We have a full guide that explains when are and the best/worst times to visit.
Believe it or not, there are periods of time when Tokyo Disney Resort is not busy and practically empty (some days). We are asked a bit when the slowest times are or if there is an off-peak season. You're in luck; I explain it all and give you enough information to decide if the off-peak winter season is a good time for you to visit! Also, when the best times for the chances of snow.
When is the Winter Slow Season?
The winter slow season starts in January and runs through to mid-February. However, the first week of January is the New Year (usually January 1 to 5) and the parks are quite busy (everyone is on holidays until the end of the first week).
After the New Year, the crowds drop. If you check our recommended Tokyo Disney Crowd Calendar — TDRNavi — you see light crowds. The months of January and February bring lighter crowds (although most weekends are still rather busy). Then once March hits, the crowds pick up due to the changing school year in Japan, which is around mid-March (depending on the school).
The crowds are not always low, however. With the introduction of Frozen Fantasy, Sweet Duffy, and Tower of Terror: Level 13 "Shadow of Shiriki" during the winter months, this does bring crowds on certain days. So we cannot guarantee it'll be slow on the day you visit. That is why we recommend using TDRNavi to check specific dates. Also available during this time are discount tickets for students, as well as other discounts.
What's the Weather Like?
To keep it simple, it's cold, and on rare occasions, it may snow or blizzard. Snow is a rare occurrence, so the chances of it happening during your trip are pure luck and chance. But, the best chances are mid-January and February when it's the coldest.
During the evenings, it can drop close to freezing in January and February (O°C or 32°F). During the day, it can get to around 8-10°C (46-52°F). Once you add the wind, it's rather unpleasant unless you're prepared. In December the weather begins to drop, then in March, it begins to warm up again.
Read our guide to how to keep yourself warm during this cold time of year.
Cheaper Flights
Flights during this time period are a prime time for seat sales, so keep an eye out for those. I have seen flights from major airports in the US for as low as $400 USD round-trip and about $700 from Canada and Australia. Read our full guide to cheap flights to Japan. My favourite places to check are Google Flights and Skyscanner.
What to Expect During the Winter Slow Season
- Early closing times
- No lottery for shows
- Short waits to ride attractions
- Watch out for attraction closures and refurbishments
- No seasonal entertainment, but easy to watch regular parade or shows with no waiting
There are a few key points to be aware of if you decide to visit during this time. The first is reduced hours during weekdays. This fluctuates, so you're best to check the official website for the park hours. The park(s) can open as late as 10:00 AM and close as early as 6:00 or 7:00 PM.
Refurbishments of shops, shows, restaurants, and attractions begin during this time, too. Check the closures guide to see the most up-to-date list.
Some days, the lottery for shows such as One Man's Dream II, Big Band Beat, Once Upon A Time, and Out of Shadowland is not offered. That means you don't need to win the lottery to see the show, you can wait in standby and get in.
For "Once Upon A Time," the lottery seating area is in front of the castle and they remove the seating and it's a first-come/first serve basis.
The wait times across the board are lower on average. The popular attractions such as Pooh's Hunny Hunt and Monster's Inc. at Tokyo Disneyland have waits under an hour, while Toy Story Mania at Tokyo DisneySea gets as low as an hour (which is low for this attraction). Check wait times with our app TDR Now. Later in the evening on colder days, a lot of attractions may become a walk-on.
For the outdoor shows, you won't have to wait for 60 minutes to get a decent spot. A lot of the time you can show up anywhere between 30 minutes to after the show has begun to get a good spot. Just remember, it may be cold while you're waiting, so bundle up! Read our guides for both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea for tips and recommendations for entertainment.
When is the Best Time to Visit?
If you're keen on traveling during this season with minimal crowds, then mid to end of January is on average the lowest in terms of crowd. But this also means it's cold and unpleasant weather in the evenings.
Should I Visit?
You're asking yourself if you should visit? If you want to do as many attractions and shows as possible with minimal wait, then this is an excellent time to do so — as long as you don't mind the cold. Take advantage of those lower wait times and crowd levels. Just be mindful of closures and the crowd calendar (such as public holidays, which are always busy no matter what time of the year).

and we're especially fond of and very proud of this guy, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> our wonderful son-in-law! : -) He not only works very hard at his full-time job, but he gives his time as a volunteer firefighter. He even gets called out in the middle of the night, and gladly gets up for this call of duty. Then, he still goes to his regular job the next day. We're soooooo grateful for him, and all the guys like him, that are willing to serve their neighbors in this way. Don't you think it takes a lot of courage and sacrifice to do all that they do, and all without compensation?!!! (He's actually not pictured in the photographs below, as he works for our town's fire department, and they were actually in another nearby town working on a different fire!)
These pictures were all taken by our sweet friend and talented photographer, LINDA C.
who was able to be at the church at the rescheduled torch time!!!
Thank you, Linda C., for sharing these awesome photos!
That is our church building just behind, and slightly to the left of the parsonage.
The buildings are pretty close to one another!
The firefighters sure did a GREAT job!
They even spared the little bush that was right beside the house!!

If you see the cloud as something great to offer your clients, you need to pay attention to ITUtility.NET.
I just stumbled upon a great white paper about how ITUtility.NET helped an MSP in Ottawa, Canada embrace SharePoint and turn the business into a money making machine.
This gets me thinking about the entire MSP business. What is the unique value that you bring to the market? For some, it is a specialized solution such as SharePoint consulting. For another firm it maybe something like a 90-second support guarantee. But what is the one thing that makes you truly unique? Does yours sound like every other IT firm out there? Are you saying the same old thing? Do you talk about how great you are and how much people trust you and how you help businesses do more with the right technology?
Come on folks; we are all saying the same things. How do you stand out from the crowd?
Here are some simple ways, none of them earth shattering, that you can try. If you attend an SPC International boot camp, you will hear them over and over again.
I hope the above three points help you and prevent you from being scared to death of Office365 or any other competitive threat out there. When you become the best, these things just go away.

Popodicon – Business Residence of the President
109 Shepherd Grade Road
Shepherdstown, WV 25443
Shepherd University is fortunate to have a beautiful home and spacious grounds as part of its campus. After receiving requests from several individuals about holding weddings and other formal events on campus, Shepherd is offering Popodicon, the loveliest building on campus with a unique setting for social gatherings, for event rentals.
Popodicon, designed by Stuart Edmonds of Winchester, Virginia, was built in 1907, by Henry W. Potts, a civil engineer, and his wife, Eleanor Powell, in colonial Georgian style. The grounds and gardens were originally designed by Oglesby Paul of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an associate of the famous landscape architect Frederick Olmstead.
The state of West Virginia purchased the estate for Shepherd University, then Shepherd College, in 1964. Popodicon, the traditional home of Shepherd University's presidents, is now the University President's business residence.
Contact Sonya Sholley at email@example.com for more information about rental rates.

It's that time of the year again, the time that everyone knows is coming but doesn't want to accept. Days are getting shorter and darker, and the temperature is dropping. Nevertheless you always want to go out on the water and have another epic session. Don't let the winter stop you. Mystic brings a wetsuit range that will keep you so warm that you wish for even colder conditions. Not only on the water but also on the shore you will stay warm with a new range of jackets and sweats.
The warmest wetsuit of the range is the Legend. It features a unique quick dry lining, which will not only dry faster, but also keep the water out longer and help to maintain your body temperature creating an insulating shell. The Legend wetsuit model comes in both a 6/4/3 and a 5/3 version. The existing Crossfire has had a makeover this year, with an update in the neoprene used, making it super flexible and very comfortable. The 5/3 version is available with a front-zip or a back-zip. Whatever your personal preference is, Mystic has got you covered.
This fall Mystic will make sure you look as stylish on the water, as on the shore. With a new range of jackets, you are protected against wind, rain and the cold. The Majestic jacket is a very lightweight jacket made of a water repellant fabric with taped seams inside, ready to conquer the first stormy rainy days this fall. The Discover jacket is there to keep you comfortably warm during the real cold days ahead of us. Also the ladies will be kept warm and dry this winter, with the Satisfy jacket. This is a 3-layer soft shell that will keep you protected from wind and rain.
Mystic doesn't stop there... The harnesses have had a stylish make-over and even the travelbags will make you look smart while traveling. The Elevate series makes sure you will travel light and easy and the innovative Car Bag will keep your car clean and your gear safe.
All and all, even when you fear the cold days ahead, you have nothing to worry about when you have Mystic by your side. This will be the 'warmest winter ever'.
"A group of kiteboarders and windsurfers who loved everything in the extreme wanted to go after strong winds and bigger waves in harsher conditions. Passionate as they were about kiteboarding and windsurfing they felt that the majority of the existing equipment on the market was holding them back, so they decided to break out on their own and fill the gap. They set out to create kite and windsurfing equipment that was durable and able to support a rider in extreme conditions allowing the rider to go harder, faster, higher."

Time in Norway: 12:22 AM
Make a search for products & suppliers, articles & news.
Oil and gas, fish and wood products – Norway's exports span the range of all the natural resources the country has to offer. In 2006, for example, roughly NOK 509 billion worth of petroleum was pumped from the chilly depths of the North Sea – or more than 15 times the value of the nearly 700,000 tonnes of salmon that were shipped to ports across the globe. At the same time, approximately NOK 32 billion of wood and paper products was processed for sale in Norway and abroad.

Norway was the first nation to have a fully electric car and a passenger ferry. Now the country will make all future ferries green and a zero-emission maritime industry by 2050.
Iran is opening up for billions of dollars in oil and gas investments after the lifting of decades-long sanctions. The Norwegian oil industry is cautiously eyeing possibilities.
Marine Harvest and researchers plan to develop a floating laboratory for radical exposed fish farming technology to help the sector grow sustainably.
Many are looking forward to driverless cars in the future. The shipping industry is testing vessels without captains.
Cost cutting initiatives and new technology are paving the way for the Northern Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea to become the next major petroleum province on the shelf.
2016 was another record year for Norwegian seafood export with export value reaching 91,6 billion NOK (approximately $10 billion). The Norwegian Seafood Council presented the 2016 numbers at a conference in Oslo today.
Portugal is a country of cod lovers and cod from Norway is a favourite. No other European country, uses up as much seafood and for sure not as much cod, per capita as Portugal.
Norway exported 2.6 million tonnes of seafood 2015. That represented more than 11 billion main courses. But the number of meals containing Norwegian seafood is possibly in the order of more than 20 billion. Seafood is ofte...
More goods will need to be transported by ship to meet stricter environmental guidelines. A Norwegian maritime cluster has found the answer in a ship-in-ship short sea cargo concept.

VH-RBP Cessna 182J Skylane (c/n 18256693)
Here's a smartly turned out Skylane sporting a stylized kangaroo on the tail. Too bad it had such
a minuscule rego. Registered in June 1966, VH-RBP was photographed by David Carter (above)
at Bankstown on December 5, 1970. The name of the operator who had this logo is not known.
By the mid 1970s the aircraft was owned by Tony Hawker, of Cunnamulla. –RBP was still in
Queensland in November 2016 and owned by cattleman Lindsay Miller, of Camooweal.

This is our daughter's first year of softball, and she was apprehensive about wearing the face guard - she was worried it would make it hard to see and feel awkward. By the end of the first practice, she didn't even notice the guard anymore and felt VERY safe knowing that her face was so protected!

Good quality product !This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Mordecai19905 months ago
I got the mask about 2 months ago and so far have played several games wearing it in mends league softball. So far I m very pleased with the quality and the biggest plus is it doesn't affect my vision as bad as some of the other masks on the market. The only fault I have to say bad about it is just me being picky. I wish the mask was a little longer toward your jaw bone, because I feel it would help if you took a bad hop under the chin line. But in all honesty it isn't a bad enough issue that I ... even care about it. I will most deffinitely be buying another one when this one wears out.

Colour Consistency – Holy Grail or Fools Gold?
Achieving consistent colour across a range of documents and media can be something of a holy grail for some. As part of a brand, colours are chosen very carefully as they can communicate much about an organisation and subconsciously appeal to different market sectors. It can be a very precise science.
A brand identity will be communicated in many ways across many different substrates and media. Is it realistic to expect that colour will be identical across the board? Let's have a look at why this might not be quite as easy as you think.
Brand colours will, without exception, have been created with either print or web in mind and will therefore conform to either the Pantone (spot and/or process) colour model or the RGB colour space. Immediately we have our first problem as the two are very different. Calibration of output devices and monitors can help match colour across the two but, in the case of monitors, you can't calibrate the worlds computer screens so your brand colour will look different on different screens and that's not even taking into account mobile devices. So even if you never print a thing, it would be impossible to achieve colour that matches precisely across the board. And print brings even more problems.
As mentioned previously, colours will have been assigned as either spot (where ink or toner is specifically mixed to achieve an exact colour) or process (where a colour is created through a mix of the 4 process colours: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, often referred to as CMYK) colour.
Often a spot colour will be reproduced as a process colour by mixing CMYK in appropriate quantities as specified by the world standard Pantone Matching System (PMS). It won't look the same!
There are also different print production methods to consider such as digital, litho and screen. All use different substances to reproduce colour such as ink and toner and there are different kinds of ink for the digital, litho and screen processes. They all look different and while a relatively accurate match can be achieved across all print processes, there will still be subtle differences.
We also have to take the substrate into consideration. Different types of paper, shades of paper and even thickness of paper will affect the appearance of the colour that is printed upon it. So you could use the same ink on 2 different types of paper and the colour will look different if you line them up alongside each other. In some cases these differences can be quite marked and no amount of device calibration can do anything about it.
And that kind of brings me to my point (at last I hear you cry). Are we really expecting our target audience to gather numerous pieces of our branded print and line them up together to see if our colour matches? Or place our business card on the screen of their smart phone while displaying our website? And perhaps most importantly, are they any less likely to purchase from us or follow our call to action if they find that the colour on our brochure is a shade lighter than that on our flyer?

This week's deal to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling does a few other things, too. Among them, it allows additional spending on a lock-and-dam project on the Ohio River. The $2.1 billion price tag is a rounding error compared to the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling. But it is still enough to rile budget watchdogs and hard-line conservatives who call it pork barrel spending by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
NPR's Peter Overby reports.
PETER OVERBY, BYLINE: Since 1988, the Army Corps of Engineers has been working on a new lock and dam on the Ohio River. It's between the towns of Olmsted and Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky, a few miles up from where the Ohio meets the Mississippi. And it's just downstream from the old set of locks and dams. They date back to the 1920s, and some of the machinery operating the locks needs to be raised and lowered...
JAMES BRUGGERS: By hand, by these crews of men and women that are out on an old steamboat.
OVERBY: This is James Bruggers. He covers energy and the environment for the Louisville Courier-Journal.
BRUGGERS: These two old locks and dams that are just upriver from the Olmsted project are a really great example of our nation's crumbling infrastructure. They're already sort of a chokepoint for this commercial barge traffic.
OVERBY: The barges carry coal, grain and other cargo, about 90 million tons per year. This is one of the biggest construction jobs going right now in this country, with massive blocks of concrete being lowered into the river.
BRUGGERS: I'm thinking maybe that's sort of appropriate because one of the nearby cities is called Metropolis.
OVERBY: Metropolis, Illinois, that is.
BRUGGERS: And, of course, it has a Superman theme going on there. When you go visit the site, you actually see a 14-story tall crane.
OVERBY: Like a lot of mega-sized construction projects, Olmsted's cost has gone up - in fact, 300 percent since work started. And it seems only natural that one of Kentucky's senators, the leader of all Senate Republicans, would want to keep the project going, right? No, not right now. Senator McConnell says he didn't put the funding provision into this week's spending bill. Two senators on the Appropriations Committee say they did it. But Steve Ellis at the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense says the legislation is only 35 pages long. McConnell had to have known the Olmsted money was in there. And Ellis says he had to have decided to leave it in.
STEVE ELLIS: It doesn't take a media professional to recognize that the optics of this look really bad.
OVERBY: More substantively, Ellis says this was the wrong time and place to commit the money, especially for such a troubled project.
ELLIS: You know, the thing is, there are tons, I mean scores and scores of projects and programs. Why this particular project was plucked out of, you know, the hundreds that are available is beyond me.
OVERBY: And conservative groups are blasting McConnell over the, quote, "Kentucky kickback." The Tea Party Victory Fund has a fundraising email calling McConnell a fake conservative and the provision, the cost of selling out the conservative movement.
The Senate Conservatives Fund issued a statement saying that this is what's wrong with Washington and it's what wrong with Mitch McConnell. The Senate Conservatives fund is already on the air in Kentucky, backing McConnell's primary opponent, Tea Party candidate Matt Bevin. McConnell has long supported the Olmsted project. The new money was requested by the Obama administration. McConnell told Politico that it actually saves money, $160 million, by preventing a gap in spending.
