The 2014 New Zealand Garden and Art Festival is being hailed as one of the most successful in the festival's history.
Festival director, John Beech, who has been at the helm since 2012, said it was his "best festival yet".
The introduction of a festival hub, held over three days at the Lakes Expo Pavilion, drew around 400 people an hour during peak times.
"The value of creating a genuine hub for the festival speaks for itself. The concentration of a myriad of attractions and exhibitions in one location was a huge draw card," he said.
And, despite the less than perfect weather at times, the Garden Trail proved its perennial popularity, with crowds flocking to the gardens every day, he added.
"The Garden Trail remains the backbone of the festival and we appreciate that without private gardeners willing to share their domains, with all the preparation that entails, there would be no festival. One Te Puna gardener counted 500 through her gate by morning tea time," Mr Beech said.
The future of gardening was assured if the 15 schools who participated in festival were anything to go by, he said.
"The school gardens and the schools who set up display gardens at the Expo hub clearly demonstrated that children have a strong understanding of environmental issues and 'green fingers' which will serve them and the planet well in the future."
Mr Beech also thanked the artists, exhibitors, floral artists, speakers and those behind-the-scenes, who numbered over a thousand.
"And that is not counting the thousands who made the festival a success by embracing all it had to offer," he said.
"We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to and participated in our ninth biennial festival. It all bodes very well for our tenth festival in two years time."
The tenth NZ Garden & Art Festival will be held in November 2016.

A bird named Buster steals the show!
I'm afraid this series has exceeded its natural lifespan. I liked the first several (to the extent I can recall them.) But this one is really not good at all. Quite a burden if you are intent on finishing what you start.
If you like thief-narrators, I'd suggest Crashed--it's a much better book--and Junior Bender is a more interesting protagonist.

Wolf S030 wall oven
I am in the midst of picking out appliances for the new home we're building. Thought I had decided on the Wolf S030 but now I see that Consumer Reports only gave it a dismal 55 rating! Especially bad for self cleaning and baking. Do I believe that and go back to the drawing board or disregard and order anyway? Any personal experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.
What you post is pretty much correct deeageaux, EXCEPT, and an important "except", the porcelain problems are still being found on the new (2012-2013) Wolf ovens, and we hope their new model "M", (I think the're called), will be the fix for the porcelain problem----of course we will have to wait and see!
You would think if these problems were occurring in brand new ovens you would find complaint post/reviews all over the net.
I don't see these negative reviews on the Wolf ovens made the last three years and I read quite a bit on appliances.
And if so is the failure rate higher than comparable ovens with black porcelain.
Anyway the OP can go with Gaggenau 200 Series BO280.
Gagg quadruple glazed side opening door with air cleaning catalyst.
But like I always say if you search hard enough you can find harsh reviews on any appliance.
I have a Wolf wall oven that was installed last April and the porcelain has already started to chip and crack in the corners. I don't think Wolf has addressed this problem.
Posted by deeageaux
I don't see these negative reviews on the Wolf ovens made the last three years and I read quite a bit on appliances.
My problems with enamel took 4 years to show up. The repair company in my small market has replaced other DF liners. I didn't ask about wall oven liners but there are even more people talking about them. I think that many people don't even realize that the liner is chipping, think it is normal wear and tear, or just let it go because it is out of warranty and don't realize that it is dangerous to have glass flakes flying around. Most people would be happy if the liner/appliance is replaced under warranty, and Wolf did until recently replace the appliances even when out of warranty for a small fee. You might start hearing more about it now. Here is a recent post from the link below from someone who has had three ovens over 10 years, all replaced by Wolf.
"The beautiful blue enamel has flaked away 3 times. Wolf did replace the ovens twice (first, they sent a certified resurface tech and tried to convince us to allow him to resurface rather than replace. We thanked them, but insisted on a new oven). After the 3rd episode and other problems, frankly I gave up hoping the situation would be permanently fixed."
There is plenty on this forum about it.
Posted by repac
We had two Wolf 30" wall ovens installed in March, and they cook like a dream! Everything comes out fabulously well. The evenness of the cooking is exceptional, food is browned nicely and still moist inside. Highly recommended.
This is exactly how I felt 4 mos ago. I had four great years and recommended it on this forum many times. Sadly, I now have to report this aspect of the oven. I waited to see how Wolf would handle it to do this. It is distressing to have such a great oven ruined by something like this.
Hopefully you have an extended warranty and I would periodically inspect the inside of your oven with a flashlight looking in the corners and bottom over the elements for cracking or crazing. Wolf tried to tell me that crazing is normal but it is the beginning of the end. I would also not use the self clean.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wolf cooking appliances
My Wolf oven was six months out of warranty when I noticed the chipping. The glare from the oven light makes it easy to miss it. When I first started to read on this forum about the chipping, I thought I had better exam my ovens. I used a bright flashlight and saw all the chips in both bottom corners of the upper ovens. I now have new Wolf ovens and the chipping has already started. I will let Wolf know about this persistent problem before the warranty is up this time.

Root of Maths Genius Sought 251
from the army-of-cloned-math-nerds-not-very-terrifying dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Funny, I just read this article last night. http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/10/the-myth-of-im-bad-at-math/280914/ [theatlantic.com] It says there probably are some "math geniuses" out there, so doesn't totally contradict the Rotherberg/Tegmark research. But the thesis indicates we have plenty of computers for the genius level math, and that most of the problem (weakness in general population) derives directly from the myth that innate/genetic "math ability" exists at all.
And if the math ability is God-given, there are computer programs now to discover even that (computer proves God article in Der Spiegel). http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/computer-scientists-prove-god-exists/story?id=20678984 [go.com]

When to plant beets outside
Hi All,
I'm getting back into gardening after a hiatus of about two years. Spent the last few days of gorgeous weather setting up a nice big (4x28') raised bed for SFG, which I've been successful with in the past. It's all gorgeous, fluffy dirt begging to be planted.
I've gone ahead and direct seeded some cool weather crops (lettuce, spinach, turnips). I was about to plant beets, when I noticed that the seed packet said to plant after danger of frost. Is that actually right? I mean, surely the seed company knows when to plant their own product, but I'm almost positive I remember doing early plantings of beets along with turnips...
Does anyone plant theirs out super early?
According to some of my references, you can plant beet seeds up to 6 weeks before last frost date. For me that is May 15. Since we are having insane warm weather here in Rochester, NY, I would go ahead and plant a few. You could always cover them if it gets way below freezing. Some say you can per sprout the seeds, but I haven't had much luck with that.

Kerr Smith Lives The Unexpected Life
By Jenna Busch Posted Jan 18th 2010 10:37AM
We just spoke to Smith about the new show, playing the 'Sex Marry Kill' game, and how this role won't be relegated to the third wheel category. We also found out that he's a World of Warcraft player. Is it just me or does that just make him hotter?
The show is being described as the new 'Gilmore Girls'. Can you tell us about the premise?
"Well, the premise is a fifteen-year-old girl that has been in the foster care system her entire life...seeks out her biological parents to get out of the that foster care system when she turns sixteen and the show is about two people that really have no business raising a fifteen-year-old girl. They're young themselves, thirty-two, and it's about the chaos that ensues in that whole situation. A young girl in their lives, two people who haven't seen each other since high school and don't really care for each other, who are kind of stuck raising this child together."
So, you're playing a radio host. The opening scene is really funny, with you and Shiri Appleby playing the "Sex Marry Kill" game. Did you ever play that?
"No, I've never played that. [laughs] I felt bad about saying that about [Jessica] Simpson. I know her, but, [laughs] oh well. What can you do?"
Wait, you know her? Did you tell her you were going to be doing that?
"I don't know her well enough to call her up on the phone, but we've met a few times."
In the third episode you have a really lovely moment with Lux. I'm wondering what parenting skills your character is going to bring to the table.
"Well, I'm going to be with Lux, the voice of reason. I mean, I thought it was really... Liz (Tigelaar-executive producer/writer) and I talked about this at the beginning of the season, and I thought it was really imperative that Ryan and Lux be able to share something that she doesn't share with her biological parents. You know, we need to have that connection, otherwise it's just a two dimensional relationship. And we decided is that, what that is, is that we're both in the same boat. We're both waiting for Cate to come around and to get her act together. To be able to pull this off, because Lux and I are ready. We're ready to do it. There are probably about a half a dozen scenes that Brit and I have over the season where it's just the two of us and it's a heart to heart and they're always great scenes. I really like that relationship. I can't wait until we get to explore it a little bit more in depth than we have."
Traditionally a show like this would be setting you up as a third wheel to be kicked out. But from what I saw, it doesn't seem like it's going to take the traditional path with the story. Was that something that you thought about?
"When I first signed on the project, Ryan was very much that character. Before I signed on, he was that character. And I just wasn't going to do that. I wasn't going to sign on to a project where I could be gone in a year. It was just too good of a script and the characters were just very well thought out. Liz and I talked about it. She's said in other interviews that she'd changed what the show really is to include Ryan in all that. So no, Ryan is not going anywhere. He's going to be very much a part of Lux' life and Cate's life and even Baze's life, in a weird sort of way. "
You're always playing characters that are a lot younger than you are. So being put into a parental role...how does that feel?
"Yeah, you're right. It's a little different for me. It's the second or third dad role I've played. But yeah, I look a lot younger than I am. I always tend to play younger. But I guess my character is thirty-two, thirty-three, somewhere in there. It's a little odd, being a dad, but I'll take it. [laughs]"
So, I read that you're a big computer game fan. What are you playing these days?
"Yeah. [laughs] In the past I've been pretty bad, but I've toned it down recently. I don't play much anymore because my schedule doesn't permit it. But in the past...when you're an actor you have off four or five months at a time, so you've got to find something to keep you busy. So it's been 'World of Warcraft' that's kept me busy in my off time.'
I totally understand. I'm a level 64 Human Paladin.
"Really? I've got a level 80 Mage, a level 56 Priest and we are officially geeks! Oh and a 74 Death Knight. [laughs]"

Where Can I Purchase Grape Ivy?
Does anyone here know where I could purchase a good old grape ivy? I have checked online (Accents For Home & Garden/Pepper's, Glasshouse Works) and I can't seem to find what I am looking for.
Many thanks,
Yes, just keep checking wherever you normally find plants, and one should eventually turn up.
They recently had a couple at a grocery store near me in 6" baskets for $12.50.
I had given mine away when we moved years back, and was kind of wanting one again, but I thought $12.50 was a bit high, because this is a relatively 'common' plant.
Diana..I've bought from this seller on Ebay several times the last three years..His plants are healthy, and very affordable.
I bought a Grape Ivy from him three years ago..Here's what it looked like Jan 1, 2011.
Grape Ivy is fast-growing. Good luck, Toni

starring Sam Rockwell, Mos Def, Zooey Deschanel, Martin Freeman
screenplay by Douglas Adams and Karey Kirkpatrick, based on the novel by Douglas Adams
directed by Garth Jennings
by Walter Chaw Back in 1992, I saw Douglas Adams speak at the Boulder Bookstore. He was there to stump the fifth book in his The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy," Mostly Harmless, and he read from it a passage involving Marvin the robot and an overzealous security droid. When the time came for him to sign things, I slid my first edition of the first book under his pen for his illegible scrawl and asked him what the status was of the (even then) long-awaited film version of one of the most beloved surrealist, deconstructionalist texts in modern science-fiction. "Soon, soon," he said. Now, a mere twenty-six years after the 1979 publication of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, video director Garth Jennings finds himself at the helm of what is, in some circles, a film more hotly anticipated than the upcoming conclusion to George Lucas' little space opera. And The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy takes elements of the late Adams' long-circulated screenplay (punched up in its third act--fatally, I think--by Karey Kirkpatrick), but coasts along for at least an hour on the irreverence, the flat brilliance, of its source material. It brings a tear to the eye and a flutter to the heart while it lasts.

Film history is littered with hundreds of films that never made it big, but developed small, passionate followings that allowed them to build up a reputation over time. Sometimes a good film is poorly marketed by a studio more concerned with their bottom line; other times genuinely bad…

Hannity and Fox News had no choice but to condemn Bundy and call him a racist if they wanted to keep their jobs as political party propagandists.
Well, just go back to the source of the problem. Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren said they were starting the Democratic Party to protect slavery. That is just a fact of history. England had just abolished slavery by a vote of Parliament, and the Democratic Party was started to keep something similar from happening in the United States. I can't really see Cliven Bundy losing sleep over being called a racist by members of the political party that imposed slavery on the United States for sixty years.
So you really believed that spotted owls and desert tortoises were in danger.

only giving 4 stars due to it should be an option with the kit. sucks having to buy it seperate
steven leach Posted:
Fit well,I just wish the kit came with this line as an option so I didn't have to buy it separately.
markandpattie Posted:
This brake line worked fine with the 15" rise handlebars, I had to purchase the complete brake line kit after I learned the OEM cannot accept just the new upper. Looks and feels great, just thought I'd tell you about purchasing the lowers for the future of anyone with the same type of project. Thanks everyone !

The Pelham Hotel
15 Cromwell Place, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Kensington
The Pelham is a fine alternative to the flash and preciousness of some of London's more overtly designed boutique hotels — it can be exhausting to spend time in a place that is striving so hard to be cool, and in contrast, it's utterly refreshing to stay somewhere a little more restrained, a little more secure in itself.
The vibe is plainly country house, transplanted to busy South Kensington: an idea which in itself implies some level of gimmickry, but is in fact carried off with a natural ease. It's no country house theme park—the rustic touches are judiciously applied, mixing contemporary pieces with antiques, and steering well clear of 19th-century fussiness.
Bedrooms are individually designed (must be an obscure London regulation) but all are richly decorated in a similar grand yet tasteful style. Modern equipment abounds as well, from broadband internet to mobile phones, and the television — long the bane of hotel room decorators — is discreetly hidden. Expect marble bathrooms, of course, but with added charms like heated towel bars and Molton Brown amenities.
The location is easily half the appeal, as the Victoria & Albert and Natural History museums are close by, as are Harrods and the Knightsbridge shops. This convenient situation makes the Pelham's bar and restaurant a popular stop not just for tourists but for Londoners as well, and if you haven't seen enough of him already you may spy the likes of Hugh Grant stopping in for a meal. South Kensington tube station is steps away, which means relatively easy access to Heathrow and anywhere else — hard to believe this country charmer is so close to the heart of the city.

- Stayed October 2014
- Rating: Poor
What I liked:
Great location, across from south Kensington station. Bathroom was extremely small and cramped but nice and clean. It's difficulty to get out of the bath because the toilet is right next to it.
What the hotel could do better:
I stayed at the Pelham before a few years ago and was very satisfied. I usually stay at one of the Firmdale hotels but apparently the Pelham is no longer part of it this hotel group which doesn't surprise me. The hotel has gone down quickly and is in major need of an upgrade. The room was small, much smaller than I remember. I checked with the front desk to make sure I got an updated room. The manager Mark (I believe) had quite an attitude. But the worst part was the appearance of the room. There were huge stains on the wall paper as if there has been a (several) water leaks. I'm addition, some of the seams were coming apart. Everything looked dirty, old and dingy. There was a visible stain on the curtains and the ceiling had some black, mold like ring around a hutch. It was quite disgusting. I booked the room for 3 days but canceled the last day and moved to the Haymarket hotel, which was much better. I will never go back to the Pelham.

With the US Fed's QE3 decision out of the way and some well bid high-grade bond offerings in the books this month, LatAm's expected high-yield pipeline is beginning to take shape. Peruvian home improvement retailer Maestro and Colombia Telecomunicaciones (Coltel) plan to meet investors ahead of new transactions, hoping to take advantage of demand for corporate paper from their two countries. Colombia Telecomunicaciones is considering a benchmark-size 2022 bond denominated in USD or Colombian pesos, according to sources familiar with the plans. Fitch notes...

Coase's original insight, whether it is a theorem or not, is magnificent but redundant, since it bears no relationship to reality. It is similar to Modigliani's and Miller's insight that the cost of capital does not vary with different mixes of debt and equity.
But the implications are profound. First, legally define and protect the property rights, then reduce the transaction costs, go on to foster the emergence of a market in these property rights and then ensure effective governance of this market to banish market power and political meddling. It demands an exacting functioning of the state and one that differs completely from its role in the neoclassical synthesis.
Perhaps this is why the practical implications of Coase's insights have not been applied to the extent they should - and why, when they are, they are frequently applied so badly.

* A lawyer who sold 2200 pounds of marijuana can't practice in Minnesota any more. That's a metric tonne, by the way. Jeez, now I sound like Thomas Corwin Mendenhall. [Minneapolis Star-Tribune]
* If you can use Craigslist to commit crime, you can use it to solve crime. Awesome. Now, if you can use Craigslist to spark a race to the bottom in legal wages, can you use it to reverse that trend. No. [Legal Juice]
* And if you think it's tough for young lawyers to find a job here, then was a U.K. firm really asking prospective lawyers to invest money in the firm in exchange for a job? [Legal Cheek]
* McGruff the Crime Dog wanted to take a bite out of crime… with a grenade launcher. [CBS Houston]
* How to keep yourself productive. I'm very intrigued by this browser add-on she mentions… [Corporette]
* This may come as a shock, but Glenn Greenwald is troubled by the Obama administration's legal justification for killing American citizens overseas via drone. [The Guardian]
* The Careerist's Vivia Chen interviewed David during LegalTech. You can watch it at this link. [Law Technology News]
* Did you see The Daily Show take on a recent trend in election law? Professor Rick Hasen did. And the video is embedded below… [Election Law Blog]

Riverview Restaurant
Constructed with wood milled from trees that once stood on the same soil, Riverview Restaurant's sunlit space boasts high ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a stone-front fireplace, all which helped nab it a spot on OpenTable's list of top 100 romantic restaurants in the country. Walls hung with original artwork surround linen-topped tables where diners savor plated steaks and seafood dishes tinged with miso, sesame, and other fusion flavors. An extensive wine list serves wine by the glass, bottle, or surreptitiously emptied flower vase, and bartenders swirl signature drinks such as pear martinis and pomegranate mojitos. Massive, floor-to-ceiling windows offer views onto manicured grounds, complete with a gazebo where patrons can reenact the scene in The Sound of Music where Rolf and Liesl cleverly disguise themselves as trees.
