About 6 years ago my wife and I were renting a condo in a community of generally really nice people. Across the street from us was this really old couple, looked like upper 80s or 90s. They didn't get out much but every once in a while you'd see them dutifuly getting the mail or taking out the trash. The guy moved really slow pulling along an oxygen tank everywhere.
Well, I try to be nice and talk to my neighbors and eventually became loose friends with them. Turns out this guy fought on Okinawa in WW2 and recapped the same story to me a couple of times: the day the boats came to pick them up and the war was over. I suppose if I had been through everything he was, I'd remember that day pretty vividly too.
After a while I stopped seeing him around as much and caught his wife coming home in the car once. I learned he had since passed away and promptly passed on my condolences. Later in the day she stopped over by my unit when she saw me working on some 2×4 shelves for my garage (at the time, embarrassingly, the only thing I had knowledge and skill enough to make) and offered for me to sift through her late husband's woodworking tools since she had no use for them. Most of them were hand saws that had rusted through, a lot of junk, but this plane in an old box looked in good shape so I took it and some of the rusty saws as a nice gesture. She seemed happy someone could use them.
Truth be told I pitched the saws and had no clue how to use a hand plane so I gave it to my dad who was a carpenter by trade. He didn't have a use for it either, but kept it for it's antique value. Only recently have I had the ability to dig into woodworking as a hobby and I really need a way to flatten big glue ups. I really wished I had a hand plane when I remembered this one I got a while back. Asked my parents and they totally forgot about it. Eventually they found it in storage and have offered it back to me. And here we are!
I still don't really know how to use a plane but have read a lot here and some books. I'm ready to start learning. My questions to you experts out there:
1. Any idea the age of this plane? It says Bailey on it. Number 4 smoothing.
2. It seems in good shape. Is it a decent unit or should I keep looking?
3. I wonder if having the original box would up its value at all, like I should avoid learning on it untill I really know what I'm doing. Thoughts?
Thanks for any tips!
EDIT: It just occurred to me this is a great story for the upcoming Memorial Day. I won't forget this friend or what he did for us all.

I decided to try again to make a pizza with the extra dough I had leftover. I rolled the dough, docked, put it on a wooden peel, dressed it, and then slide it directly onto the pizza stone. This pizza did get a lot better, just baked on the stone.
Video of cutting the pizza. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uaR4-XMSOA
This is a blog about my learning knowledge to make pizza. I have been helped by many people on my journey
There are so many variables that go into making a PIZZA. The hydration of the dough, flour, yeast and many more.. Amounts of any kind of yeast in a pizza can make a big difference. Most recipes posted on the web, use too much yeast in their recipes. What I have found out so far, is either bulk fermenting the dough or cold fermenting the dough will give a better flavor in the crust. I am still experimenting to find different flavors in the crust of pies. In my opinion pizza is all about the best flavor you can achieve in a crust. I still am on the journey about flavors in the crust. Even differences in temperatures in you home or times of the year can influence how much yeast to use. If you want a pizza to develop flavors in the crust, there are many ways to go about achieving this.

There are many ways to go about trying to make any kind of pizzas you want to create. PIZZA making is fun and also you get to eat your finished product. I learned to make all my pizza on http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php If you look on pizzamaking.com you can see all the beautiful creations of pizzas members make on this site.

The pure electric scenario strains the grid, the pure hydrogen one is more expensive.
The CCC favours the hybrid approach over pure hydrogen or pure heat pumps:
- A pure electric solution (heat pump only) would put more strain on the electricity supply system - both generation and distribution - on cold winter days when heat demand is high.
- A pure hydrogen system would require more hydrogen than we can generate from low carbon sources so it would need carbon capture and storage (CSS) too. However CSS is not actually as low carbon as the other low carbon solutions so it would be more expensive to provide a zero carbon solution.
|Comparison of costs in different scenarios for decreasing carbon emissions. The pure hydrogen scenario is much higher costs in the zero carbon case. Data from [4]
The hybrid solution is supposed to be more acceptable to consumers.
Although the hybrid solution is the least cost in all cases, there isn't that much difference from the all electric. The CCC prefers the hybrid not just on the grounds of cost but also on consumer acceptability. The CCC says [1]:
- A hybrid heat pump can be retrofitted around the existing boiler, making it part of an upgraded, smart heating system. This retrofit can be done alongside improvements to energy efficiency of the building, leading to dramatic cuts in both emissions and fossil fuel consumption while retaining high performance and potentially improving comfort levels.
- Retaining the boiler means that the heating system would provide equivalent performance to existing heating systems, and would not require changes to radiators. This more incremental approach to switching to heat pumps is likely to be considerably more acceptable to the public than replacing the boiler with a heat pump.
However, neither of these statements is entirely true. Firstly, a hybrid system is likely to be much larger than a normal gas boiler and you still need both inside and outside components of the heat pump. The table shows the size of some products from Daikin. The hybrid system is more than twice the height of the standard boiler and twice the depth. However it is still smaller than a high temperature heat pump. Size was a big issue when I investigated replacing our boiler at home with a heat pump - Why I haven't installed a heat pump (yet).
|Condensing gas boiler(24 kW) [5]
|400 x 590x 256mm
|Hybrid boiler (indoor component) [6]
|1075 x 450 x 405
|High temperature heat pump (indoor component) [7]
|705 x 600 x 695
Hybrid heat pumps can give equivalent performance but if you treat them like a boiler they use gas like a boiler.
Normal heat pumps can heat up to about 55C; gas boilers are normally configured to heat up to 70C but you should not need this except in cold weather. With a pure heat pump system you normally have to fit larger radiators to get enough heat at the lower temperature. A high temperature heat pump can run with your standard radiators but the efficiency is not quite so good. With a hybrid system you can run the heat pump normally and get top-up heat from the boiler.
The ICL analysis was based on a model where the heat pump provides heat up to 55C and the boiler tops up to 65C when necessary. 89% of the heat requirements were met by the heat pump, on the basis that the controller only activated the gas when strictly necessary.
This chart shows the ratio of heat supplied by heat pumps in hybrid systems from field trials reported last year. You can see that some performed very well but others did not. The 89% requirement is certainly achievable but only 3 cases did so, out of 14. There are several possible reasons for poor performance. A big one is the scheduling: heat pumps are good for gentle continuous heat but we normally configure our gas boilers for a burst in the morning and again in the early evening. If you configure a hybrid system the same as a gas boiler you will probably use gas most of the time. You might not even notice. You will see more gas and less electricity on your utility bill but in terms of overall cost there might not be much difference - at least with current flat pricing regimes.
|Proportion of heat supplied by boiler and heat pump in field trials [2]
It is doubtless true that a hybrid system will be more acceptable for most householders than a pure heat pump because of the peace of mind of the boiler backup. However you still need to find somewhere to put the larger unit, and you still need to configure it like a heat pump and not like a gas boiler, if we are to achieve lower emissions.
Both scenarios have their risks. We need to learn how to manage them.
The hybrid heat pump strategy runs the risk that poorly configured systems will require a great deal of gas. However there is no guarantee that a heat pump system is configured correctly either - if not it will use more power than intended, especially in cold weather at peak times. Both strategies have risks but I think the hybrid strategy is more flexible and potentially resilient.
To make hybrids work well we need excellent control and monitoring systems, good practice from installers and savvy consumers. Our need to reduce carbon emissions is urgent so we had better get on it.
Whatever happens though, reducing demand with good insulation and heating controls is a step in the right direction.

Then after the first year, you'll pay another $100, etc. so there will always be a "bank" of next year's entry fees This system will also foster league sustainability as team owners looking to exit the league will have an incentive to find their own replacement (who can essentially pay them their following years entry fee) Distribution: $750 - League Champion $350 - League Runner Up (Playoffs) $100 - Regular Season Champion (Record) $100 - Regular Season Champion (Total Points) We will be using a secured transaction platform for monetary distributions like league save or something similar Roster: 25 Man Major League Rosters (23 Active + 2 DL) C 1B 2B 3B SS 1B 2B 3B SS 1B/SS 2B/3B OF OF OF OF UTIL SP SP SP SP SP RP RP Bench Bench Bench Bench DL DL Scoring Settings Position Players: Runs: 1 Single: 1 Double: 2 Triple: 3 Home Runs: 4 RBI: 1 Stolen Base: 1 Caught Stealing: -.5 Walks: 1 Intentional Walks: 1 Hit by Pitch: 1 Strikeouts: -1 Ground Into Double Play: -1 Errors: -1 Hitting for the Cycle: 5 Pitching: Wins: 5 Losses: -5 Saves: 3 Blown Saves: -3 Quality Starts: 1 Outs: 1 (3pts/Inning) Hits: -1 Earned Runs: -1 Walk: -1 Hit Batters: -1 Strikeouts: 1 Pickoffs: 1 No Hitters: 5 Perfect Games: 10 Minor League Roster 4 man minor league roster No positional limits You may call up these players to your major league roster at any point, but you cannot demote a player from the majors to the minors without passing through waivers You may not call up a player once the fantasy playoffs start Over the offseason you may only protect 2 players on your minor league roster. Everyone else must either be called up or released into the rookie draft pool. The minor league roster will be refilled through a minor league draft each offseason Players without minor league options or do not play for a minor league affiliate are ineligible for the minor league roster Rookie Draft The "rookie draft" will occur annually the weekend after the MLB draft and will include all available, non-protected, minor-league players and recent draft picks The draft order will be in reverse order of the previous years' standings, as determined by the following: For non-playoff teams, they will be seeded based on record, with total regular season points as a tiebreaker For playoff teams, the picks will be decided based on when the team is eliminated for the playoffs. For the two teams eliminated in the same round, the worst regular season record will get the higher pick Trading Trading is allowed and encouraged Minor League and Major League players can be involved in the same trade Once a player is called up by one franchise, that player is now a major league player for that franchise only. If he is traded to another franchise, that team can decide which roster to assign him to However, if a player is later traded back to the initial team that had previously called them up to the major league roster, the player must return to that teams major league roster Vetoes will be based on a majority league vote. In general, vetoes ARE NOT encouraged. Particularly in a dynasty setting, teams can have different incentives and motivations. A trade might look uneven at face value because it helps one team much more in the present, but that trade may have significant future value to the other team. This happens all the time in MLB. Please reserve veto votes for clearly unfair trades or collusion. Add/Drops You are allowed one add/drop per week This prevents people from cycling pitchers on the waiver wire and manipulating the point system If a player is dropped (or if you send a player down to your minor league roster), that player will go through waivers/free agency Waivers will be based on a waiver priority order system. It will process as follows: Initially based on reverse draft order Once you make a waiver claim, you go to the back of the priority order In future seasons, the initial priority order will be based on the reverse of last season's standings Startup Draft: Randomized Live Snake Draft TBD (subject to change based on team availability) For any inquiries about this league, or to inquire about joining this league please email me at: email@example.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prophethood is not to Continue in the Same Fashion as was During the Judaic Dispensation
Some hadith (tradition of the Prophet) may indicate, that the sealing
of the office of prophethood, is to be understood in the light of the
manner of, how guidance was continued in previous dispensations, and how
that method was changed in Islam.
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Israelis used to be
ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died, another would take
over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs
who will increase in number."
This issue may be best understood when we study the historical context and the circumstances of the revelation of verse 33:40. Most importantly, the verse itself should not be taken out of the context of the Sura (chapter) which it is a part of.
The Prophet (PBUH), had adopted Zaid ibn Al-Haritha and treated him as His own son and made him part of His household. The people started calling him Zaid ibn Muhammad. Verses 4 and 5 of the same sura, clearly discourage such practice :
As people were using the name Zaid ibn Muhammad, the expectation of some was also that he would become His successor, as had been the case the prophets of the children of Israel.
When Zaid divorced his wife, who later was married to the Prophet (PBUH), many people objected to this and expressed their displeasure that He would marry His "son's" divorced wife, verse 33:40 made it clear that Zaid was neither the Prophet's son nor was he or anyone else to be a prophet after Him.
When chapter 33 is read in its entirety, this issue becomes much clearer.

When Jenn Smith Nelson first saw books about the "nature hot spots" of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, she thought Saskatchewan deserved the same treatment.
So, in collaboration with Toronto-based writer Doug O'Neill, Smith Nelson — a travel writer and lifelong Regina resident — wrote 110 Nature Hot Spots in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The book presents photos and information about some of the best nature spots across the two provinces. They're broken down by region and specific interests (like where to find waterfalls, or the best places to stargaze).
Smith Nelson shared some of the highlights in an interview with the Leader-Post.
Flora and fauna facts
In researching and writing this book, Smith Nelson learned just how diverse Saskatchewan is.
"Up in Athabasca Sand Dunes, for example, I think they have like 50 rare plants and 10 of them are endemic species. It's just fascinating. And I know that in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, there's over 700 species of plants and really rare orchids," said Smith Nelson.
"I discovered that we have flying squirrels, that we have scorpions that have evolved to hibernate in the winter. We have wolverines. It blew my own mind, because I thought I had a good grip on wildlife in the province. We have rattlesnakes (in Grasslands National Park)."
If you like bird-watching …
In southwest Saskatchewan, there are "huge bird-watching destinations" like Chaplin, Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, Cypress Hills and Grasslands National Park.
Last Mountain Lake boasts the oldest bird sanctuary in North America, near Govan and Imperial.
"So if you're a bird watcher, you want to hit those spots — although, you can bird-watch throughout the whole province. There are hot spots up north too.
"Even living in our urban centres, we're so connected to nature. It's so easy to go bird-watching within the city, for example. And, you know, from my house, I'm two minutes from a grid road, I can just escape and go for a drive and … the amount of wildlife you'll see is just incredible."
In northern Saskatchewan, Besnard Lake is home to the longest-running (eagle) raptor study in the world.
"They've been studying eagles there (since 1968) and they have discovered things about eagles in that park that are first discoveries."
If you have children …
"If you're a family, you might want to keep it simpler. You might want to go to somewhere along Lake Diefenbaker where there's three provincial parks to camp."
With her own children, aged 10 and 12, Smith Nelson has toured southwest Saskatchewan, including spots like Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, the Great Sandhills and Grasslands National Park.
Take a hike …
There are many great hiking trails in Saskatchewan. One of Smith Nelson's favourites is in Grasslands National Park.
The 70 Mile Butte trail is "the best place probably to take in our beautiful skies. Just incredible at sunset."
The Boundary Bog trail in Prince Albert National Park is a "mystical, fairy(like)," moss-covered trail. "You just feel transported to the forest, which I really love.
The Narrow Hills Provincial Park and Gem Lakes area is "astounding," with "beautiful jewel-toned lake formations."
The hiking trails are one of the main reasons people visit Meadow Lake Provincial Park, said Smith Nelson.
… And leave no trace
If you're a really avid outdoors-person, there are some pack-in-pack-out options for hiking and camping.
At Wildcat Hill Provincial Park, "you have to actually go through brush to get into the interior of the park in the spring and summer." (In the winter, you can snowmobile in.)
To explore the Athabasca Sand Dunes — the world's most northerly sand dune formation, adjacent to the world's 20th-largest lake — you'll have to arrive by air. Wilderness camping is available seasonally, but there are no facilities in the park.
The hottest of the hot spots
Smith Nelson said Saskatchewan's two national parks are places "that I talk too much about."
Grasslands National Park and Prince Albert National Park are very different places.
The latter has well-formed hiking trails in a boreal forest setting. There's a lake for swimming, and spots to camp. "It's a really easy access to nature for like a family, for example."
It has sites like Grey Owl's cabin, and the community of Waskesiu.
Grasslands, on the other hand, "is much more unexpected. You've got this wide-open landscape, and the trails aren't super defined, and it (has a) much more back-country feel to it. … If you want to sleep in a teepee and howl with coyotes under the stars, Grasslands is your place."Published by Firefly Books, 110 Nature Hot Spots in Manitoba and Saskatchewan is on sale now. email@example.com twitter.com/LPAshleyM

Information Technology is playing an ever more crucial role in many sectors of modern society offering the most important solutions that we have today to efficiently help increase capacity, safety and security among other aspects. This is even more in public transport sector for which IT tools are potentially always available, widely applicable and actually already well integrated in many public transport systems around the world. Public transport's modal share in cities should be increased without increasing just assets but also by increasing the utilisation of vehicles states Alain Flausch.
The Government of India has announced that it is planning to develop 100 smart cities across the country. The key idea of smart cities is the integration of public services with an integrated public transport system. IT, therefore, will play a crucial role in both integrating and automating these services.
Most Indian cities are facing the challenge of air pollution and traffic congestion. Transport is one of the key contributors to pollution in cities and only 33% of people are using public transport. Further, India comes top in both numbers of accidents and numbers of fatalities despite an average speed of just 15-17kmph.

Two varieties of rose are used commercially for the production of oil of Rose: Rosa damascena
(Rose otto) and Rosa centifolia (Rose absolute). While the properties of the two types do overlap
to a large extent, the differing chemistry accounts for some variations.The physical effects of
Rose oil are perhaps less important than its effects on the mental/emotional level. It has long been
renowned as an aphrodisiac and in this respect the Rose absolute is the more powerful of the two,
the differing chemistry of the two types confirms this.

Review for the tests Format Philosophically, I believe that it is essential to utilize as many areas of the brain as possible. Retention/retrieval of material is gained if the material is stored in many areas of the brain. Many lessons incorporate design, presentation, 3-D modeling, drawing, or music. Cooperative learning groups have been a benefit to students –especially study groups. Please see me if you are interested in brain research on memory and retention that supports this teaching style. (Howard Eichenbaum and Neal J. Cohen, Nancy Andreason, James E. Zull, David Kolb, to name a few researchers) 1. Students will have an IB/AP syllabus notebook. a. Every day, students will have a topic from the syllabus. b. They will be asked to paraphrase the topic, draw a picture or further explain the premise of the topic. (My goal is to focus more on the IB/AP topic requirements… I will still give my lecture notes at the end of the year to the students taking the exam, but I feel that this approach makes the syllabus more personal.) 2. Students will have an IB/AP syllabus quiz where they can use their notebook to take a short quiz using questions from old IB/AP tests. 3. Extra credit will involve paraphrasing topics that we don't get to… IB/AP truths that will help you succeed: 1. Study with others. Have Biology parties. Talk over the material. (I think that study parties are so essential that I will give extra credit to any student that hosts a party and announces it in class for all to attend!) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ask for help when you need it. Read the textbook. Re-read the difficult portions. Skim the chapter first… then tackle the whole thing. Laugh. Retention is higher if a concept can be tied to an emotion… Cry only as needed or as a last resort! Get access to an Internet connection. My lectures and most worksheets are online.

Within our project BEYOND GROWTH with already published so called BUILDING STONES FOR A SYSTEMIC CHANGE. These are cards which give examples of how people find ways to contribute to a tranformative change privatetly and in praxis. Now we want EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE by desining examples as youtube videos. So all over Europe people can participate and sent us what they are doing, why and what the project is about.
This world needs shift in order to avoid climate change and destroyment. This change is made by people - by us. But because of all the challenges and complexe situations people often feel paralyzed. To tell positive stories about practical examples how to change the world - even when it is just a little bit - is very important. We learn throught stories and we get empowered by them. Our challenge is to bring those stories to the people an empower everybody to give their own example.
We are aiming for an european network of changemakers. Within this network people inspire themselves with their own pracitcal change-examples an buildingstones for a systemic change.
Our project shoul give an example how to produce an own video and give some videos as an example. Our team will provide support on building the network, maintaining the website and producing the videos.
We want to produce 5-10 videos on our own in which people talk about their contribution to a systemic change by presenting their personal story and than explaining the idea in general, so that everybody can follow their example. Beside that we will produce a "how to do" video which empores people from all over europe to film their own buildingstone. By spreding these videos through various networks we are in and support producing the videos we wil build an european network of changemakes and empower the role of activism.
We are doing it for each an everyone who believes that this world cant growth without boarders, but instead we need a different, non-growth based system to save it.
Our project is based on the ressources and example already existing in Europe. We encourage people to share what they are already doing to inspire otheers to follow them.
Funding requested from Advocate Europe
Total budget
loaning material (1000), producing the videos (2000), buying a domain (500), maintaining the website (1000), administration (1500), public relations (1000), personnel costs (4000)

Since I have added a page about the History of China Dolls, which includes a section on the History of Porcelain Production, which includes a photo of my heirloom Dresden China, I would like to share with you the story of how this absolutely precious set of porcelain china came to me.
This is also another story about Lucile, and about what a positive influence she has been in my life. There were several times during my 18 year marriage to John and Lucile's son that I lived with them in their five bedroom Nebraska craftsman style home for a few months. These were times when my husband and I were in transition during our eight years living abroad. They were quite welcoming to me, and I felt right at home with them.
Lucile often made a quick soup for lunch. One lunchtime, not too long after Grandma Hazel had passed on, Lucile decided she would get out her china soup tureen and cream soup bowls to use for lunch. When she brought out this gorgeous cream colored set, with pink and blue flowers and silver trim, from the bottom of her bell collection cabinet, I was astounded by its beauty! Now, Lucile had a variety of ordinary dishes for every day use, and a comprehensive set of blue snowflake Corelle dishes for large family gatherings and entertaining, but I had never seen this elegant soup set before!
I said as much to Lucile, and she told me of it's origins: Her younger brother, Vernon, was a paratrooper, stationed in Europe, during World War II. He sent this lovely set of Dresden china to his mother during The War. The china made it to America safely, but Vernon did not make it home alive. He landed on a cliff with his parachute. The wind caught the 'chute enough to pull him off the cliff, but it did not open enough again to break his fall. He was killed.
Lucile brought the Dresden china from her mother's home in Lawrence, Kansas after Hazel's death.
Now, when Lucile made a pot of soup, there was way more than would fit into an elegant European soup tureen! But we set the tureen in the center of the table to admire as we ate our German carrot and sausage soup from the pretty bowls, and thought about Hazel–grandma and mother–and Vernon–son and brother.
The scalloped rims of this set are unglazed, and the knob on the lid of the tureen is like a little fancy pot itself! Eight bowls accompany the lidded tureen. The pieces are stamped on the back: Rosen-thal with crown and crossed swords in the center of the word, and a cursive "e" at the end of the word. Under, is SELB GERMANY, then POMPADOUR (the name of the whiteware pattern), then US. Zone. My research shows me that "US. Zone" indicates a specific short period of production (WWII), and that Pompadour came in a number of painted styles, including the popular Moss Rose, but I have not found a reference to a style like this set.
When Lucile left this Earth in 2002, my former husband was remarried, and I was not in line to receive any inheritance from my former in-law's estate. It was Vicki, my angel of a "sister," who asked me if there was anything I wanted from the house as they began to clear it out to ready it for sale. Of course, my number one choice was that set of Dresden china–if no one else had claimed it yet. I told her where to find it in the bottom of the bell cabinet.
A few months later, my sons brought a box into our house in Washington, that came by way of their father, from Vicki. It was the Dresden china. Vicki said no one else in the family–not her, nor her three brothers–even knew about this china. (Perhaps Vicki's older sister, Karen knew, but she died before Lucile did, and Karen is another story.) They didn't know the family story connected with this china, nor where to find it in the house. Vicki said that it was meant to be mine because Lucile had shared it with me, and I knew its story and its history.
Once in a while, when I'm feeling cranky, I still have short bouts of resentment for what I missed out on monetarily from my former marriage and my in-laws' estate. (Remember, I had nothing to inherit from my own family. "Why can they afford to add on a music room and remodel the kitchen when all I have is this small apartment that I have to share, grumble, grumble.") But I continue to be amazed at the way the universe provides that which we imagine. My heirloom Dresden china is another example of how something that I truly admire, from someone I care about imensely, found its way to me.
Thank you, Vernon.
Thank you, Lucile.
Thank you, Vicki.

All prices are shown in NZD ($)
Due to weather conditions, our cruise in the morning was cancelled, and we were offered a refund, to try for 2.00pm. We opted for 2pm. At 1.45pm we were advised the cruise was going out as the wind had died down, however, if the conditions changed, then we would return, and were offered a refund before the cruise leaves, or to go on the cruise at 2pm, and if the cruise has to return, to receive a gift certificate for another date and time. We opted for the cruise, and in the end we had to return. On our return we were offered a refreshment and cookies! The staff, in the office, the captain and cruise director, were friendly, upfront, and provided information and updates right throughout the whole situation. A1 Service! Thanks Ernest Kemp cruises, cant wait for our next trip :D
Thank you Angela for the positive insight in to your cruise experience with us! We try our very best with the hand we are dealt, unfortunately sometimes the weather won't allow us to properly showcase our wonderful Lake. Make sure to pick a lovely day to come back, we look forward to having you all again in the future! Thank you
Great trip out for the whole family, and really reasonably priced. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. We really appreciated the little extras like the blankets if you got cold or the cup of hot chocolate and snack. Highly recommend.
Good morning Kelly-Ann, Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you highly recommend us. Please join us again soon. Kind regards, Timothy Burke General Manager
We all had the best time ever on the Ernest Kemp rock carving tours. The trip is worth its weight in gold. The skipper and the stewardess were absolutely amazing and beyond catering to your needs . ID like to do a big shout out to the owner of Ernest Kemp tours who allowed us to bring our loving little fluffy companion "LOLLY" who also thoroughly enjoyed the trip , to accompany us on this wonderful excursion. Not only does the owner allow dogs on these voyages but she also gifted our little pooch with a Christmas goodie bag. Just letting our lolly to be a part of this trip on the Ernest Kemp tours was above and beyond amazing but to pick up our tickets and receive a goody bag was well and truly overwhelming. So it's a 10 out of 10 and a big thank you from us and not to forget a WOFWOFWIF from little "Lolly".
Awesome, Josephine! We loved having Lolly and Lolly's parents join us for a cruise, the weather was incredible we couldn't have asked for a better day. It is always a welcome surprise when we have fur-babies join us on our cruise, we love them. Glad you all had a wonderful time on the Great Lake with us Josephine, come and see us again! Thank you
While the weather wasnt the best it made for a fun time. Kath was phenomenal! Couldnt ask for a better, friendlier more helpful host.
Thank you very much Sharn! Happy to hear you enjoyed your morning with us. Come back and see us during the summer when it's a lot calmer and we can stop for a swim as well as.
