Kieran Read was named as Sir Richard Hadlee Supreme Sportsperson of the Year.
Names such as Connor Stead, Tahlia Hansen and Scott Martlew were called out for honours in their respective categories. These names will echo in sporting circles for years to come, and those in attendance last night will always remember helping to celebrate these athletes’ early success.
In 2012, Sir Richard Hadlee Sports Trust and Sport Canterbury welcomed Marriotts Chartered Accountants aboard as the event's premier sponsor.
"There is a strong parallel between Marriotts and our award-winning athletes," says Sport Canterbury Chief Executive Julyan Falloon. "Marriotts is a leading New Zealand Chartered Accounting firm, which competes in the international market while remaining Canterbury based and committed to the future of our region."
In 2014, Awards night guests witnessed two more Sporting Legends of Canterbury inducted into the Hall of Fame – Debbie Hockley and Ronnie Moore.
“So many Cantabrians do so much for others, as volunteers, administrators and leaders, that just to be part of the Awards process, is being able to mix with some of the best people of our community,” adds Graham Russell, Marriotts Chief Executive Officer.
An older shot, taken with a 2.1 MP FUJI cam. Not sharp, not colorful, but I kinda liked that "brave/stupid" cow... There were 16 paper reels on that truck. Each one weighs about 1 ton and everything was secured by 2 tiny chains...
Seen in Ulus (Turkey) 2004
Saw the tutorial with the bubbles on Abduzeedo and basically fell in love with THE BUBBLES! So, decided to make myself something new to stare at every day... I guess this is kind of the mood I'm in, so bleh! Been a while since I've made one of these. Currently only in 1440x900, but if anyone wants other sizes, let me know.

I used to have 2 Huskies that I loved tremendously. I lost them in the break up with my ex. It took me a long time to get back to a place where I wanted another dog, because as every pet owner knows ... grieving takes time.
When I finally felt it was time (and I was ready) to get another dog, I called the local humane society. I'm a big believer in adopting/saving/rescuing. To my delight (and disappointment), they did not have any dogs in their shelter, which is a rarity for almost any animal shelter.
I saw an ad in the local paper for Siberian Huskies. I'm not a proponent of paying a lot of money for dogs as they encourage 'Puppy Mills'. However, the ad said, "cost to cover bills only", so I called the guy. Sure enough, he was only looking to recoup the costs already laid out for vet bills (first shots) and food.
(He raises/races Siberian Huskies, but Alli and her litter came from on of his non-breeding dogs. It seems one of his male dogs got loose one night and romanced one of his 'non-sledder' gals. ;-)
So, I agreed and he arrived at my office with 3 puppies; 2 girls and a boy. The boy looked a little ill from the travel/motion and the other girl was stepping all over her siblings for attention.
Alli wouldn't look at any of us. She turned her back to everyone and sat with her head down, facing the door. From the very beginning, she didn't like people and didn't want anything to do with us.
I knew in an instant she was my girl.
As time went on, my wife, family and friends would often marvel at how so very much alike Alli and I are in personality.
I've never been big into "eerie superstitions", but I cannot help but wonder at the coincidence of it all. A humane society that didn't have dogs available for adoption; an ad in the paper for 'cost-recovery' only; the 'timing' of me deciding it was time to get a dog.
The National Trust use this accessible Iveco minibus FN68 EFR to operate a short free loop around the grounds of Cragside House near Rothbury in Northumberland. The vehicle was new on 2nd January 2019 and at it's last MOT in January 2024 had covered 43,000 miles. It is seen here on the frontage of Cragside House on 26th March 2024.
Driving in Haiti is crazy. This is a narrow (duh) street on our way up to our walled compound. There are no sidewalks, and people could be on either side. The only rule of the road seems to be the bigger vehicle gets the right of way.
On our first day, our bus was met by a pickup truck coming down the hill. Each driver started yelling at the other, and there was a man standing on the street whose head moved back and forth as if he were watching a tennis match. Finally, he started yelling at the pickup driver and motioning him to back up.
Now look carefully at the space above: Can you imagine a bus and a pickup truck side by side? Haitian drivers come much closer to other vehicles and people than I have ever seen in the States. And they weave around each other on bigger roads like nobody's business. Whenever a driver is on a curve, he beeps the horn so that drivers in the other direction know that he is coming.
Nymans is an English garden in Haywards Heath, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property.[1] Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.
