Think about it…

Angela Bennett

Metropol circulation

Imet a guy recently who had the brilliant idea of opening a gym called 'Resolutions'. He explained that for the first few weeks of this year it would have top of the line exercise equipment. “Then,” he said, “it will

turn into a bar for the rest of the year.”

What is it with New Year's resolutions that we break them within weeks, or sometimes mere moments, of making them?

A conversation I overheard may shed some light:

“So what're your New Year resolutions?”

“I don't believe in making them. New Year resolutions are self destructive, undermining of our self-confidence and individuality. I believe in making and meeting achievable goals throughout the year, not just on January 1st.”

“You've already broken yours haven't you?!”

I've been trying to think of why we break our New Year's resolutions, and a way around the problem. I've deduced that one of the reasons we break our resolutions is because they create a paradox. For example you might have on your list that you will eat less, be healthier and give up alcohol. But also on your list is that you vow to be happier! Hence the stalemate.

The solution lies in the resolutions we make. They should be practical, achievable and above all… fun!

Here are a few to consider to replace the ones you've already broken:

I will think of another password other than 'password', '1234' or 'hello'.

I resolve to work with neglected children – my own.

I will dance more. Go and see live comedy more often. Buy myself flowers regularly. Get better at cooking. Dress better for work, school or uni.

I will check one big thing off my bucket list. (There is a reason they are on your bucket list – right?)

Whatever your resolutions this year make sure they include all of the things that make you smile more and keep you happy and healthy.

So it's farewell from me now. Thanks for having me and all the best for the future.

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may

look back and realise they were the big things.” – Robert Brault

Yes, it's more than thirty years since Mark Prosser left St Andrews College and gained his qualification

as a builder in Christchurch. As he finished his apprenticeship, he found himself out of work when his employer moved to Australia. Through a family connection Mark gained his first project and has never looked back. Slowly he gained momentum, gaining trust and relationships with many clients who, over the years, referred him on to other people. Since 1992, when he became a Master Builder, the company, as it is now known, has displayed that same tenacity that has led to winning numerous national and regional awards for its high quality construction of architecturally designed homes. Mark's head foreman Matt will celebrate 10 years this month with the company.

AWARD WINNING BUILDERS CELEBRATE 30 YEARSthThis year Mark Prosser celebrates his 30

year in business. That's a significant achievement in the construction industry and testament to his enjoyment and commitment to achieving flawless end results for his clients.

The whole team have been trained

to have an eye for precise detail

that is so crucial in building

high end homes.

Words beginning with 'P' epitomise Mark Prosser Builders. Every one of their homes is a premium build; the whole team have been trained to have an eye for precise detail that is so crucial in building high end homes; Mark is personally involved with every project and architects prefer Mark because they trust him to get the job done to the highest standards, on time and on budget.

JONESAQQ&&A Kris

Your Māori heritage comes from your father's side but you were brought up by your mother without any involvement in Māori culture, when did you become interested in your Māori heritage?Maoridom was around me when I would hang with my aunties, my father's sisters, but I never really connected to it. It wasn't until I was taken to a ahikaaroa practice for a performance at Christmas in the park in 2009.Where did your involvement with Kapa Haka take you at the time?At that time is was a focus for me, so mentally it took me further than any extrinsic thing. But we did perform at Christmas in the Park that year which was pretty cool.Is Kapa Haka physically demanding?Yes. Because you are singing, moving and managing to breathe at the same time. When you're putting all your energy into the performance to give it that further x-factor it truly leaves you drained and tired.What is your favourite aspect of Kapa Haka?The whanangatanga. Just the aspect of being close to like-minded individuals with their own personalities and fun.

When Kris Jones received his Eke Panuku supreme award to recognise Māori and Pasifika achievement at CPIT recently he wore

the cloak his mother made for him. The cloak is a symbol of their inter-twined journey; Jones' reconnection with his Māori heritage, and his Pakeha mum Tracey-Anne Cook's support of her son's cultural studies by learning traditional Māori weaving.Kris is a CPIT Bachelor of Māori language and Indigenous Studies student. He received not only the prestigious Monte Ohia award but is also the institute's overall supreme Māori student achiever. He was nominated by the CPIT's Humanities Department for demonstrating both community involvement within Christchurch and sound academic progress in the first year of his bachelor course…

Eke Panuku winner, Bachelor of Māori language and Indigenous Studies first year student Kris

Jones, with his mother Tracey-Anne Cook.


Which are the performance highlights of your Kapa Haka experience?Going to Greece was definitely a highlight, also this year I stood at Te Matatini, and that was next level special because it was here in Christchurch, at home.What advice would you give to young people with Māori heritage who are currently struggling at school?If you're struggling, focus on what you enjoy, what you want to learn to grow, if school can't shape you... I'm not saying just leave school, but there are places you can go to specialise in what you're passionate about. You've just got to have the motivation to work hard on what you really decide on.When did you become interested in Te Reo studies?Haha, don't get me wrong I don't enjoy studying Te Reo, though the environment at CPIT is really great, I just hate that I can't speak or understand the language that defines my culture. I hate how if someone speaks to me in Te Reo, I can't reply or understand. I hate how I am so lacking in knowledge.

What is the community initiative Tu Toka Tu Ariki Wānanga Taiaha and how did you become involved?Tu Toka Tu Ariki Wānanga Taiaha is a wairua based kaupapa that empowers Māori men to prolong life in the form of traditional practices, 7-8 times a year we hold camps to teach mau rakau (taiaha forms and movements), haka, waiata, under the korowai (cloak) of au kāti. Au kāti is alcohol free, drug free, violence free. I first joined the wananga in 2009 and have since become a top warrior earning myself a taiaha which I have named after my late grandfather, Tutatunui Te Aohia Jones. I have become a tutor of the second rank, Amokapua and watched the growth of many boys/men who have stood beside me in the ranks of blood and sweat shared, and those that were under my own tutelage.You inspired your mother to become involved in learning about Māori culture what has she been learning?When I started getting deeper into my culture my mom joined a basic Te Reo course on Monday nights and it was stuff I was also learning at the time so we would often bounce off each other saying lines and structures. Following her foundations

Mom has learnt how to weave flax. Going from flowers to four corner kono, (basket type thing) to peke (bags). This year Mom spent months creating a korowai (cloak) that embodies our journey, the studies.In just a few years you have made a huge turn around and are now interested in becoming a teacher or coach, what is your advice to pupils as far as education goes?Find what you're passionate about, you'll find your motivation to learn exceeds the pain it is to study.What is your favourite item of clothing?I don't really feel attachment to clothing... My greatest moments in life are when I'm mostly naked, in a grass skirt and such.What is one thing that Metropol readers would be surprised to know about you?I'm actually really white... Recently I got a tan though so I'm crazy happy! What's next on the wish list?Finish my degree and get a job, or get a job and finish my degree. I want money, money is nice, but I won't sacrifice it for my studies and cultural activities. I'm not that desperate... Yet! Money is kind of important, but luckily Mom has supported me and I've got a student allowance.

Catching up with Cathedral JunctionBy Hans Petrovic

With many people walking by and speaking in other languages while we were enjoying a Saturday-evening meal outside the Japanese restaurant in Cathedral Junction, we had the distinct feeling that we must be in some European country.

It was only a few days before that I had learned that the original owner of the Cookai Restaurant, which used to be in

Cashel Street before the earthquakes, had reopened at Cathedral Junction under the name Sakimoto Japanese Bistro, and was serving very similar food there.

My partner, Pat, and I had made no plans to dine at the Sakimoto that night and had not booked ahead, so it came as no surprise that the restaurant was full up inside and that we would have to use a table outside.

Of course, Cathedral Junction is very well sheltered, with a curved, transparent roof high above and virtually no wind blowing through the tramway arcade connecting Worcester Street to Gloucester Street, making it a pleasant setting for out-of-restaurant eating.

When one of the tram restaurants trundled by, we found it to be surprisingly quiet and that it added to the European atmosphere.

It then occurred to us that most of those overseas people we were seeing were most probably staying at the three hotels surrounding the junction – the Rendezvous Hotel to the left side of the Gloucester Street entrance of the junction, and the Hotel 115 and the Quest on either side of the Worcester Street entrance. They could well be on their way to a meal or passing on to New Regent Street, which is directly opposite on the

Gloucester Street side.We also learned that the original

concept for the atrium complex was provided by Christchurch's legendary designer John Britten but, before his ideas could be fully realised, he died in 1995.

Despite this, and because we had not prepared for the evening, Pat did feel a little bit cold, which was easily fixed by her going to the Forget Me Not New Zealand gift shop, which was right next door to the Sakimoto, and buying a scarf there for $10. All told, it turned out to be an inexpensive evening, with the excellent food and tea costing us a total of $39.

The property manager of the junction, Leonie Queree, of Cathjun Limited, says

that with more and more people coming to that part of town, attracted by the Isaac Theatre Royal, New Regent Street and nearby bars and restaurants, as well as residents at the hotels, most of the stores in Cathedral Junction were doing really well.

Three of the pre-earthquake tenants – the Seasons Espresso and Lunch Bar, the Swiss Bistro and Welcome Aboard, the booking office for tours all over town – are still there and picking up in business.

Leonie also points out that the junction is the No. 1 boarding stop in the city for all trams, with people continuously getting on and off there.

Entering from Worcester Street on the left, one passes between Chong's Chinese Restaurant and the Seasons Espresso Bar, and then it's on past the Cathedral Junction Barbers, NUZTRI New Zealand Quality Nutrition, the Swiss Bistro and the tour booking station.

At the Gloucester Street entrance you first see the Rendezvous Hotel and then pass the Junction Convenience Store; the wonderful Imagination Station, where children and adults learn to play with Lego; The Wine Spot, which also sells craft beer and spirits; the Blue Penguin Boutique; Fantail Gifts; Forget Me Not; International Development Ltd, which helps overseas visitors with currency exchange, travel insurance and translation; and the Sakimoto Japanese Restaurant.

New era for NZ fashion iconThere is a new look inside the doors at Shanton. A new owner, fresh fashion and an exclusive Christchurch location at Barrington, are all

part of a new era in the life of the Shanton fashion brand.

Owner Juliana Yelavich brings 30 years of experience in the rag trade, both in New Zealand and

Australia, to the Shanton name - a name synonymous with offering great and affordable women's fashion for 35 years.

“It is a fabulous opportunity to revitalise and re-energise the iconic Shanton brand and bring it back to an international level,” says Juliana, with 14 stores open nationwide and their online store due to be released early this year.

Shanton's new look follows a commitment to improved quality fabric

and better fit, with fresh garments delivered in store every two weeks. Inspired by international trends and unique design elements that resonate with New Zealand women, each collection is available in a full range of sizes and at a very reasonable price point.

Seasonal stories feature on-trend looks, with rich shades of blue, splashes of gold and soft fabrics for the summer, and arriving soon the Autumn 2016 Collection, Dusky Nights, with a touch of floral, dusky hues and romantic tones

All stores also offer personal styling

inspiration sessions for customers, along with VIP nights showcasing their new collections.

The arrival of Shanton adds to the great selection of fashion and footwear already available at Barrington, with something for everyone and the pleasure of a relaxed shopping environment.

Visit Shanton at Barrington, open seven days at 256 Barrington Street.

Longer hemlines are trending this summer and elongated lengths look popular for the coming cooler season…

GREAT LENGTHSThe midi – somewhere below the knee and

above the ankle – is proving the most popular. This classic length looks good with flats and

sneakers for a pared down look, and equally stylish with an elegant, spindly heel for a more classic dressy look.While these longer lengths can take a while to adjust to, that swishing feel of fabric and the graceful style of a longer length skirt adds elegance that skims the female form in flattering flair. From simple sheath dresses to flamboyant cocktail attire, fashion's focus is all about length.

Bear in mind that when wearing a longer length skirt or dress everything is magnified – there's more fullness, more print repetition and more colour. Too much going on, or a pattern that is too bold, can be overpowering and unflattering.

Bliss Hair has always been the home of modern, contemporary hair. The salon welcomes a new trio of fresh talent with the arrival of Tash, Sophie and Misty

last year, each bringing their own set of specialist skills to the talented Bliss team of stylists.

By Rachel Smith

STYLISH LOCKS

I like a challenge,” says Sophie, a senior qualified hairdresser and barber with 10 years of experience in

the industry.Sophie is equally at home with

colouring as she is cutting, with the lob, a collar length bob, one of the cuts of the season. In sleek styles or a beachy look, with or without a fringe, it is a cut that Sophie says suits every face shape.

Colour is Tash's speciality, particularly balayage and new colour trend, tortoiseshell.

“Balayage and ombre have long been the hottest hair looks but this summer it's all about the tortoiseshell hair!” says Tash, with the beautifully blended look achieved by using golden, caramel, chestnut and chocolate tones. “If you are looking for a new look for the New Year I would love to help you achieve this.”

Misty is loving the challenge of her new work environment, and offers the latest trends in hair ups to their clients. For the summer season she says this has been all about braids - worn up or in low ponytails, braids can be mixed with an unstructured beach look and easily adapted to each client's hair length.

Experience the Bliss look for yourself – call (03) 366 5530 or (03) 366 0617, visit www.blisshair.co.nz and like them on Facebook.

'See What I Can See: New Zealand Photography For the Young and Curious' is a hardback book by Gregory

O'Brien. It's a book about darkness and light, about sur�es and sel�es and cabbages the size of kings�

Photography was invented the year before the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. Within a few years,

cameras were charting the life and times of people at this end of the planet.

See What I Can See is an introduction to New Zealand photography that will appeal to young and curious

photographers, students of New Zealand art history, or anyone who wants to sample the extraordinary range of images made in this country by our photographers.

It is a book about darkness and light, about careful planning and doing things on the spur of the moment, about the quickness of digital photography and the slowness of old technology. It's a woman driving a tractor and a kid in a Colgate tube, a rock at Ngauruhoe and a Wahine survivor on a cart, it's sur�es and

For the young curious&

sel�es and cabbages the size of kings.See What I Can See is also a

celebration of the camera � the New Zealand that it captured, and the artists who wielded it. 'It's about looking beyond the obvious and �nding things that are hidden away,' says O'Brien.

Gregory O'Brien, popular arts commentator and reviewer, independent writer, painter and art curator spent much of his early life in Auckland. He trained as a journalist and worked as a newspaper reporter in Northland before returning to study art

history and English at Auckland University. He migrated south to Wellington in 1990, where he still lives with his partner, poet Jenny Bornholdt. O'Brien is the author of two multi-award-winning introductions to art for the young and curious: Welcome to the South Seas (2004) and Back and Beyond (2008), which both won the Non-Fiction Prize at the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young People.

RECREATIONSPORTS FUN ACTIVITIES WHERE TO GO WHAT TO DO HIRE

The NZ Transport Agency has a target of 10 million more cycling trips annually by 2019, and national cycling manager Dougal List says he's heartened by

reaching the million milestone.“It's fantastic that more than a quarter of our population

are getting out on their bike – and the research shows that a further 407,000 are intending to take up cycling in the next six months so we're on track for 10 million journeys annually by 2019 – if not sooner.”

The Transport Agency launched its annual Bike Wise programme this month, which Dougal hopes will encourage even more Kiwis to take up New Zealand's fastest growing method of transport.

More than one million New Zealanders regularly get on their

bikes, and that number is growing.

More than a

Kiwis cyclingmillion

The annual summer celebration includes Bike Wise Month in February 2016.

“There are plenty of activities taking place up and down the country during the Bike Wise programme which provides some great opportunities for people to get involved.

“More Kiwis cycling to work, to keep fit or simply for fun is positive for both the individuals and for our transport networks.”

There is a full calendar of cycling events across New Zealand, including Big Bike Tune Ups, where mechanics conduct free maintenance checks to ensure bikes are safe, road-worthy and a good fit for the cyclist, and events aimed at building new riders' confidence.

The calendar of events can be found at www.bikewise.co.nz/events.

Victoria Pomeroy, co-owner of Flow Hot Yoga, along with Greta Wilkinson and Jessica Smith, says one of the lesser

known benefits of yoga is its ability to fight stress. “Practising yoga reduces our perception of stress, which changes how our bodies respond. There's also evidence that it can help anxiety and depression too.”

As well as an effective stress-buster, yoga also promotes relaxation. A relaxed mind and body means better sleep and good sleep is important for all aspects of a healthy life. “Yoga helps you to fall asleep sooner and improves sleep quality, so much so that some people actually need less sleep if they hit the mat regularly.”

Then there are the tangible benefits like

soothing physical ailments, easing pain and core strengthening. Yoga is also good for breathing, emotional stability, weight control, releasing tension and boosting immunity.

And there's one more reason to roll out the mat: Flow Hot Yoga in Riccarton. With a focus on balance, energy, harmony and strength, Flow Hot Yoga offers classes for all levels. Classes are heated to various temperatures using a sophisticated heating system that provides a clean, healthy environment to maximise therapeutic benefits.

With 16 teachers and 52 classes a week, Flow Hot Yoga has a class to suit every level. Until 29 February, annual memberships are just $1,099 for unlimited yoga. Visit www.flowhotyoga.co.nz.

Dedicated yoga practitioners have been touting the virtues of yoga for thousands of years, but the benefits go beyond just improving flexibility.

Amazing adventures at seaFor local and international visitors alike, Banks Peninsula has much to offer: amazing wildlife, the world’s rarest dolphins, wide views of giant volcanic cliffs, undiscovered

beaches, as well as the Akaroa township to enjoy and explore.

Black Cat Cruises offer visitors a plethora of activities: swimming with dolphins, harbour cruises,

trips to Quail Island, Diamond Harbour and Lyttelton, even private charters.

This year marks the company's 30th year of operation, quite an achievement considering it was set up with one ex-fishing boat, which carried eight passengers.

Today there are seven vessels, carrying up to 99 passengers. Facilities include hot water to warm swimmers up and tea and coffee facilities.

The visitor numbers are up to 3.5 million passengers annually and Black Cat Cruises are putting on an extra boat this summer to cope with the demand.

“Canterbury, particularly in terms of international visitors, will probably have a record number this year,” says Tim Hunter,

chief executive of Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism (CCT).

Visitors get to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience, view the world's smallest and rarest dolphins and their calves, seal pups, and all in a unique volcanic crater.

“There are plenty of opportunities for locals to experience their own back yard, we offer a trip to Quail Island for family picnics and

cater for private functions: birthdays, 21sts, and Christmas

functions. We are flexible and can take guests to find a sheltered bay to

enjoy their event,” adds Paul Milligan, Chief Executive Black Cat Cruises.

RECREATION By Cheryl Colley

Summer is when the Antigua Boat Sheds Cafe is at its most

enticing. There can be little more idyllic a setting for

breakfast, brunch or lunch than on the deck at the

restaurant overlooking the tranquil Avon River.

The Antigua Boat Sheds have been part of Christchurch's history for over 130 years. They were erected

in 1882 for the express purpose of providing recreational facilities for the citizens of Christchurch. The Boat Sheds are still home to that traditional and iconic pastime – boating – but they are also home to an excellent cafe and catering service.

The Boat Shed Café offers an extensive range of menus to suit all tastes and occasions. Why not try their delicious and filling breakfast classics like French toast and pancake stacks, or some of their

lighter breakfast fare? The lunch menu offers a tasty café-style take on a great range of Kiwi favourites, such as toasted sandwiches and fish and chips, in addition to more sophisticated dishes such as warm teriyaki chicken and orange salad. There is

a wide selection of slices and cakes in the cabinet too, for that sweet morsel to complete a meal. A children's menu and a gluten-free menu are available as well, or you could even try one of the Boat Shed Cafe's famous picnic hampers on the river bank.

Planning a party or function? The cafe can host groups of up to 60. Enjoy a gourmet BBQ on the deck with your work or social group, or opt for the cocktail catering menu. Call (03) 366 6768, email [email protected] or call in and see the team at the cafe - 2 Cambridge Terrace.

“Chi mangia, bene mangia Italiano” translation:

“who eats well, eats Italian”.

It's their motto and one I wholeheartedly agree with. The love of Italian food runs deep in Canterbury

and Casa Nostra is the home of Italian cuisine.

It permeates Italian culture from its rustic Italian ambient interior to its menu of the authentic Italian foods we love so much. Who can go past their Schiacciata, try and say that one after a Sangria or two, or three, an Italian flat bread stretched by hand, covered in delicious toppings of your choice.

I watched as the pasta was being made fresh and started to salivate as the smell of fresh pasta sauces wafted in my direction. You close your eyes and you're in Rome.

Buon appetito!

There's Al fresco dining outside for those wonderful summer nights and the staff are fantastic at making your experience truly memorable. Fresh herbs, fresh sauces made from the start. No short cuts.

Good honest Italian cooking whether it's an Antipasti, Zuppa, Insalate, Contorni, Risotto or any other Italian word on the menu, it all says one thing at Casa Nostra,

delicious food. Open seven days, 5pm till late at 2 Waterman Place in Ferrymead, that's the restaurant area on Ferry road.

I could write a novel on just the menu choices, but I really think you should try it for yourself. Give them a call on (03) 384 3186. Casa Nosta means “Our Home” and that's exactly how it feels. Buon appetito, Enjoy!

If an architect can dream it,

Flaxton Iron does the hard yards

and brings it into reality.

By Nicholas Henare

Discover Chch's fabulous functional artYou've probably seen some of the magnificent work from Flaxton Iron; you just haven't known you have. As you've sat there having that beverage or that tasty meal your eyes

may have been gazing over some of what can only be termed as “functional art”.

Flaxton Iron has fitted out over 250 of Canterbury's best businesses for the last 21 years. From King of

Snake and Harlequin, Chinwag to Spice Paragon to name a few. They're even working on the brand new Winnie Bagoes in Rangiora as I write.

Building specific designs for such well known chefs as Jonny Schwass and Tony Astle is no easy task, requirements need to work as well as look good and the demands are always fully met by Flaxton Iron's team. They have both the experience and the skills to turn dreams into reality, working in copper, glass, stainless steel, cast iron and even stone. If an architect can dream it, Flaxton Iron does the hard yards and brings it into reality.

The Flaxton team pride themselves on delivering the design finished, on time.

Although their main business is commercial work, everyone who needs that something special done, from

chandeliers to the wrought iron gate, that unique BBQ or home teppanyaki. Yes teppanyaki! Glenn trained as a Teppanyaki Chef in Tokyo for two years to gain that skill.

If you or your business needs that something special give them a call on (03) 312 8038 or go to www.flaxtoniron.co.nz to chat to the good blokes at Flaxton Iron. Let them get your job done, and done right, on time.

with the classic favourites to the new summer dishes JDV promises to cater for all taste buds. A popular meeting place for corporate meetings or social gatherings, JDV also caters for private parties and

celebrations for all occasions. With tempting contemporary cuisine, choose from a selection of delicious canapés or a full dinner service, matched with a comprehensive list of local and international beer and fine wines.

Canterbury's oldest golf course is just five minutes from central Christchurch and is one of the city’s most wonderful features.

Hagley Golf Club, established in 1904, has been a haven for golf lovers and it's an opportunity, if

you haven't tried golf, for Cantabrians to access the sport easily.

Welcoming new players, I played my first round of golf here, and for the casual player it has easy access with loads of parking in north Hagley Park. It's accessible by car from Armagh Street and Riccarton Ave – a relaxing round is practically in your back yard. It's a beautiful place to play golf and the team at Hagley Golf are enthusiastic about you having a wonderful experience and the Clubhouse caters for some great food after your game or if you just want to drop in on your walk through North Hagley

FOR GOLFERSFOR GOLFERSand casual strollers

Park. A licenced café with short order and cabinet food there's pretty much everything for the hungry golfer or casual strolling Cantabrian. With the rustic cool atmosphere of an old golf club, it's a great place to visit or hang out for a beverage post-game.

I noticed a team building event happening on course while I was there and the Clubhouse is available for that special function just for you. Think birthdays, engagements, weddings… Catering is also available. Go to www.hagleygc.org.nz for more information or give them a call.

Aglass of chilled wine in the sun is a scene many Kiwis can relate to as our summers are all about relaxing and spending time with friends and family.

Whether enjoying a barbeque, a picnic or al fresco dining, there is nothing better than the fresh produce and seafood New Zealand has to offer – coupled with one of Akarua's vibrant new release wines, you just can't go wrong.RUA Pinot Rosé 2015 has hints of passionfruit, watermelon, strawberries and cream and is made for giggles and gossip on a long hot day.The subtle golden glow of RUA Pinot Gris 2015 follows through with rich layers of ripe pears, peach and orange blossom and is an essential for any picnic hamper or chilly bin.Akarua Winemaker Andrew Keenleyside's Food & Wine Matching TIP:“RUA Pinot Rosé is a happy medium between a red and white wine - a perfect fit for anything grilled or with Mediterranean or Mexican flavours. RUA Pinot Gris is a great accompaniment to spicy food – try it with Thai fish cakes on the BBQ or enjoy with fresh or smoked salmon, and sushi.”

Sam speaks from his years of experience in the building industry and from his dedication

to quality and perfection. Indeed choosing the right builder can mean the difference between having a house that doesn't quite “fit” and having a home where you feel you and your family truly belong. Getting that right “fit” may mean customising a design with the features that matter most to you. “As a small building company we are able to work with clients individually to make sure they get the custom options they really want at a price that works for their budget. We're not about rapid building; we're about getting it right the first time and focusing on each client's unique needs.”

Sam also says that small building companies tend to work where they live and that means they have a great deal riding on their reputation. As a result

Small building company = personal service“If you are looking for personal service and individual attention when you are building your new

home,” says Sam Fleetwood of Fleetwood Construction, “think about working with a small building company, not a big housing company. There are lots of advantages in doing this.”

they have a personal stake in making a neighbourhood more attractive and valuable, so they're more likely to make sure the houses they build are stylish and timeless.

“As a small building company we also depend a great deal on referrals and word-of-mouth for future business. We've been fortunate to have built homes

for multiple members of the same families because we take steps to ensure the building experience is the best possible.”

COOKING WITH

COLOUR

Comprising round and oval cocottes in five sizes and a teapot/kettle with tea

infuser the range features an ultramarine blue enamel exterior and matte black interior.

Designed to be a lifetime utensil the cocottes' deep blue glazed enamel won't chip, scratch, rust or stain. The matte black enamel on the inside is particularly ingenious as, with use, it becomes a natural non- stick surface that just keeps on improving with use.

The stand-out advantage of the Staub cocottes is their cooking ability – the cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly and effectively while the well-fitting lids feature basting spikes on their interior that funnel the evaporated liquid back into the food. The results are perfectly cooked dishes that have retained their natural juices and moisture – and are full of flavour.

And their overall good looks mean they should be used from oven or cooktop direct to the table – their heat retention properties mean they will keep food warmer for longer. The smooth flat under-surface of each piece means it can be used on all types of cooktop, including induction.

Staub cocottes do not require seasoning – they are ready for immediate use.

The Staub Marin Blue collection of cocottes and tea pot is available nationally from leading independent kitchenware retailers.

Cooking and colour have come together in a burst of deep sea blues. Staub, the French company noted for its traditional Cocottes – the hand-

finished cast iron and enamel cooking vessels so beloved of chefs like Paul Bocuse - has launched a

collection in beautiful Marin Blue.

STREET APPEAL

Throughout the rebuild, and particularly in the last eighteen months as the soul of the city

returns, we have talked about how our city can make its mark. How we can be special, and stand apart from others. Street-art is one of those ways.

For George Shaw his obsession with street-art began with the simple act of buying a t-shirt and has grown beyond comprehension. British born, he settled in Christchurch pre-earthquakes and has openly shared his love and passion for street-art with us all. While you may not know the name, the post-quake environment means you will most definitely know, and have experienced, the

work that comprises his Christchurch Oi YOU! collection.

Having become a champion for an artistic movement – as under appreciated today as pop music was in the 1960s – Shaw has achieved a balance between an idea and an obsession and ultimately constructed his life and a living, out of it. Oi YOU! has curated over twenty-five completed installations around the city, with more taking shape this summer.

For some, the appeal of street art may be hard to grasp, with many of the graffiti based works often perceived as vandalism. However, like all art, design and architecture where one piece polarizes your taste, another will have you coming

back for more. Having recently attended the annual

SPECTRUM Street Art Festival (12 December 2015 – 17 April 2016, YMCA, 12 Hereford Street) and previously having heard Shaw speak I was surprised to discover that we have more street art installations than Melbourne. As a city, we have found ourselves at the centre of the street art movement. We have seen, and experienced, the transition of this art form from tagging into something special and collectable.

It is inspiring and refreshing to meet someone who wants to make Christchurch special, and not just through the rebuild of buildings and homes, but through a

creative outlet. Through partnership with the YMCA Shaw has opened a facility in which to exhibit street-art. This year's SPECTRUM Street Art Festival sees eight artists from France, Holland, Spain, Australia, Invercargill, Auckland and Christchurch create large scale pieces across the city. While smaller examples of their work, coupled with work by several returning artists, are on show at the YMCA building. It is an amazing festival in which both the scale and technique employed to create, are available to be witnessed and

experienced up close, providing greater depth and understanding to the stories behind the pieces and the artists.

As an architect this artistic display gives me another view on the possibilities that exist when it comes to the side, back and even structural walls. Where once material finishes were engaged to provide texture and interest to these vast spaces, we now have the opportunity to have it embraced as a canvas for artwork. No longer are these walls that face the wrong way, but a space in which architecture can have an identity. One that traditionally can't be achieved through geometry, texture and light – we all know where the Elephants are on Manchester Street and the Ballerina in the central city, but how many of us know the buildings on which they are found?

There is some debate about the longevity of such pieces. As the rebuild progresses and they become obscured from view some may argue that the point of the art was short-lived and therefore unnecessary. However this is all part of the fun. They are a remarkable time capsule. We cannot be disappointed when they are built out; they simply become a secret of our city. www.caarc.co.nz

T thhey date back as far as the 13 century, originally adorning churches and later gaining

popularity in the homes of the wealthy thVictorians in the 19 Century. They were

also popular at this time throughout the USA and Latin America before spreading to the Caribbean and throughout the world.

We often look to the past to inspire the designs of the present and future. Since 2014 there has been a massive resurgence in the popularity of encaustic style tiles, largely attributed to their innate and timeless beauty, energy and character. Combine these factors with contemporary design and manufacturing processes and it's not hard to see how these stunning tiles have had such a massive revival.

Encaustic tiles are also referred to as Moroccan tiles, Spanish tiles, Moorish tiles, cement tiles, inlaid tiles and geometric tiles. They were originally handmade ceramic tiles with ornate and geometric patterns

that were produced within the body of the tile. Over time, as the tile became worn, the pattern remained.

Whilst you can still get authentic, handmade encaustic tiles, numerous tile manufacturers are now producing encaustic-style tiles in porcelain. This enables an old world, classic design to

meet the contemporary era with superior wear, durability, application and affordability. They retain the character and charm of the original encaustic tiles, but with a more refined finish and

That is why LiteGreen was formed in the first place, out of simple frustration at seeing hundreds of “Code-Minimum”

houses delivered every year, when by blending the right mix of technology, building processes and systems, new building materials and the integration of sustainable design principles, infinitely better homes can be delivered, often with little or no extra cost.

”We want to change people's perception of what a good home should be and we are building homes now that can save people 85% of the life costs of their house. We simply stopped to see how we could do this better, asking ourselves just because we have been building this way for decades does it mean its

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING AVAILABLE FOR ALL

By Cheryl Colley

“You can do so much better than build to the Code Minimum Standard of the New Zealand Building Code,” says Andrei Martin of LiteGreen Projects. “Did you know that homes built to the current Building Code are the worst houses you can legally build in New Zealand?”

right for us now and the answer was no. To help demonstrate this we are soon to start building a concept house that will show just what is possible. The house will be self-sufficient, warm, dry and healthy – well above the minimum code and built at a fraction of the time of a conventional build, all showcasing that sustainable building is available for everyone.”

LiteGreen have their own team of experienced builders, project managers and quality design professionals all passionate about taking standard construction to a whole new level. You can contact LiteGreen by email [email protected]. You can follow progress of the LiteGreen Concept House on their very informative website at www.litegreen.co.nz.

Now Volvo and Microsoft have joined forces to bring this science fiction concept to reality with

their new wearable voice control system.Volvo owners will be able to talk to their

car via a Microsoft Band 2 worn on their wrist, allowing them to remotely instruct their vehicle to perform tasks including, setting the navigation, starting the heater, locking the doors, flashing the lights or sounding the horn via a mobile app and the connected wearable device.

1980s TV cult classic Knight Rider captured the hearts and minds of a generation - The Hoff and his talking Trans Am KITT using futuristic technology to solve crime all with the flick of a wrist.

says this new innovation shows the company's commitment to making the driving experience as convenient as possible for its customers.

“While activating your car from your wrist was an early TV predecessor to today's wearable tech, bringing it to life in 2016 is just the beginning of what is possible with digital assistant functionalities.”

Duggan says more recently Volvo has begun to focus closely on innovations outside the traditional automotive arena, opening up potential partnerships and new

business models.Executive Vice President of business

development at Microsoft Peggy Johnson says the Volvo partnership continues to bring ground breaking technology to enhance the automotive experience.

"Together with Volvo, we're just beginning to understand the potential that technology has to improve driver safety and productivity,” she says.

The Microsoft Band 2 connection will be available to New Zealand customers in the Volvo On Call mobile app in 2018.

for a motor vehicle and progress insists that we must have shiny new things, so the mighty Pajero will eventually be replaced in 2018.

Meanwhile, Mitsubishi has done a Land Rover and cheekily slid a new, far more modern vehicle under the Pajero name by introducing the Pajero Sport.

The Pajero Sport comes to New Zealand in two forms, both powered by the Triton's 135kW/437Nm 2.4-litre diesel four-cylinder engine that is hooked up to an all-new 8-speed transmission.

The XLS kicks off the range at $58,990

Pajero Sport

and comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and start, privacy glass, daytime running lights, climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors and Mitsubishi's new Smartphone Link Display Audio system that includes

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and is controlled via a 7-inch touchscreen.

The VRX tops the range at $63,990 and adds 18-inch machine finish alloy wheels, LED headlights, DRLs and taillights, leather upholstery, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, a premium 8-speaker audio system, dual zone climate control, a reversing camera, forward collision mitigation, blind spot warning, an ultrasonic mis-acceleration prevention system, automatic headlights and rain sensing wipers.

A seven-seat version of the Pajero Sport is expected to arrive in New Zealand later in 2016 and will ask a $2,000 premium on both the XLS and VRX models.

Mitsubishi launch

The Mitsubishi Pajero is pretty much the tuatara of the vehicle world — at a certain point, many, many years ago, both decided that they had had enough of this whole evolution business and simply decided to stick with what they had.

Iwas fortunate enough to be invited by the SMEG team to hang out in their corporate hosting area or the pits.

What got me was the commitment everyone shows when participating in racing. I sat down with Simon Evans for a chat. Simon has just come off the Australian development series as the best rookie in eight years and he's at the top of the game when it comes to V8 racing.

We talked about the weather and how strategy affected his driving would be in wet weather where every lap was different: braking, the line you take and tyres can all make or break a race, especially in the wet, with one wrong decision.

With a top speed of 270 kilometres per hour, and average of 150km, the wet weather was a big challenge. I have been in a 720 degree spin at 150km on that track and it's not fun. The pressure of a race and proximity of other cars must be

massive but Simon was as cool as a cucumber about it.

“Team, it's all about the team,” he stressed.

The more we talked the more I found out that everyone there has a job to do and without them Simon wouldn't be the driver he is. I watched as they balanced the weight of the car, each person checking and double checking measurements while

Simon had a sleep, they have to weigh the car with him in it.

Another thing I noticed about the SMEG team is how they looked after their supporters. Owen Evans, the current New Zealand land speed record holder and team leader, gave everybody who wanted to listen a really good run down on the Holden and what had to happen to get Simon on the track.

Everyone was allowed autographs and caps and as a fan, being cared about is a pretty special feeling.

The track was drenched and the

logistics on tyre changes and the strategy of doing them fell on Simon.

Each tyre costs $450 and can only be used for 140 kilometres. The tool you need the most in the pits? A big bank balance! The team is lucky to have the backing of SMEG. Simon came second that day but he's still holding on to first place with 766 points in the series. Walking through the pits in the rain, there was the sound of thunder and the battle of Holden Vs Ford continued. Motor racing at its best!
