Jack Earl is gearing up to mark Dan Carter on his return to club rugby
The 24-year-old landscape architect who was to mark arguably the best rugby player in the world arrived to training by minivan.
He stepped out into the floodlit night fog, onto the sodden earth of North Canterbury's Omihi, and tried to contain his fear.
It was not that Jack Earl was worried that he might be shown up on the pitch by Dan Carter. It was that, on the All Black's first match in six months, Earl might accidentally injure him.
"Gosh," the Glenmark first five-eight said, "Imagine having all of New Zealand after you."
When Earl began the season, having to mark one of the best players in the world was not his concern. It was about getting match fit.
"I'm trying not to focus on DC himself - he's got more things to worry about like the bounce of the ball. It's not all going to go his way, right?"
Carter, who has been on sabbatical since earning his 100th test cap against England in London last November, will start at first five-eighth in the Luisetti Seeds division one play-off match when Southbridge host Glenmark this afternoon.
But that rostering decision was not without its issues. The captain of Southbridge, Shannon Donald, also plays the position. He has decided to move one position out.

Oly-Ola Edgings Super-Edg, 100% recycled vinyl 6- inch deep low profile landscape edging, was installed by Hyde Park Landscape & Tree Service of Cincinnati, Ohio to border the Belterra Park Gaming and Entertainment Center race horse design logo. The logo is outlined in edging and filled with different colors and types of annuals. Oly-Ola Edgings is the leading producer of premium grade 100% recycled commercial paver restraint and landscape edging products.
Originally the landscape architect specified aluminum edging to line the logo, but the logo has lots of curves so we knew that aluminum would be hard to work with, explains Patrick Wheatley, Landscape Designer with Hyde Park Landscape & Tree. We went back to the architect and explained that since the angles had to be welded, which posed a safety concern for us, and the edging had to be cut with a quick saw, we didnt feel that aluminum was the best product we could use. The architect then specified Oly-Olas Super-Edg, a low profile landscape edging made of 100% recycled PVC and what a difference. Super-Edg was easy to cut, form, bend, connect, modify and transport. We were really happy with it, continued Wheatley.
Constructed of 100% recycled vinyl material, Super-Edg features a 6 inch deep low profile design that enhances the landscape design by providing a distinct border that doesnt take away from the finished product. The edging is secured with specially developed 14 steel anchoring stakes which slide through pre-cut slots to easily penetrate the ground for permanent installation. Super-Edg has the look of metal but is safer to use and easier to install and transport. Super-Edg is easy to handle, flexible and can be used to create different angles and shapes.
Founded in 1972, Hyde Park Landscape & Tree Service is a full service landscaping and tree company that specializes in small or large residential and commercial projects in the Cincinnati area. Hyde Park is well-known for providing timely service and using the highest quality materials.
Recently opened, Cincinnatis Belterra Park Gaming & Entertainment Center, includes six restaurants, a live entertainment venue, 1,500 slot machines and a live racing track that will open next year. Formerly called River Downs, the new look and feel of the property is the result of $300 million investment and renovations that took place over the past year.
For over 35 years, Oly-Ola, Edgings, Inc., headquartered in Villa Park, Illinois, USA, produces the most complete line of polyethylene/vinyl edging and paver restraints in the landscape industry. Oly-Ola promises the industrys strongest comprehensive guarantee: 100% Plus for 20 Years Includes All Freight and Labor. Oly-Olas shipping policy is hassle-free.

KOTA KINABALU: The T1@Bundusan commercial hub is set to redefine the landscape of the city here once completed in 2017.
The project sited on 1.94 acres of land will be developed by Tan Brothers Machinery Company (TBMC) and this will be their first venture in property development projects in Sabah.
The project comprises 12 4-storey blocks of commercial shop offices and 12 units of dual-volume sky F&B outlets on level 5, a 6-storey boutique hotel and a single-storey basement car park at the 1.94 acres of land, said TBMC director Anthony Tan at the launching of the ceremony of the project on Friday.
T1@Bundusan is an iconic building, moving away from the norm of the design of commercial property.
It is a remarkable piece of art, which will transform Sabahs typology. T1@Bundusan is derived from the letter T which reflects transformation of concept for this flagship development, said Anthony.
The conceptual architecture of T1 was conceived by Mak Thur Pei of Mak Arkitek Konsult, the young architect who has won the inaugural Tan Sri Chan Sau Lai Architecture Award by the Malaysian Institute of Architect for fresh and innovative design, he said.
The building has been designed with quality in mind and meticulously crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life, he added.
Upon its completion in 2017, it will redefine the business landscape as it will be built with up to date infrastructure and IT facilities.

Like a piece of artwork or a writers manuscript, a garden is never truly finished. As with all art, gardens can always evolve, changing with the seasons and naturally growing out of plans and designs, developing over time in a never-ending evolution.
Gardening is the art of the Earth, providing the willing and creative with another means of finding beauty in the mundane.
All I know is, I dont paint with a trowel or garden with a brush, the late Robert Dash said in a video by P. Allen Smith Classics filmed in 2011, two years before his death, when asked about the connection between gardening and painting.
They inform one another in ways that are very mysterious. Its how the trowel is wielded or how the brush is wielded that informs the canvas or the Earth and there are no rules. And the only way you know how to do something in either of those arts is by doing it, he added.
Mr. Dash, an artist, writer and gardener who died in September at age 82, believed very much in gardens taking their time and developing over a period of time, said Jack deLashmet, co-chair of Landscape Pleasures, which will honor Mr. Dash this year.
Hosted by the Parrish Art Museum, Landscape Pleasures includes three lectures by gardening and landscape design experts on Saturday, June 7, followed by a day of tours of some of Southamptons most historic and remarkable gardens on Sunday, June 8.
The 2-acre Sagaponack garden of Mr. Dash, the Madoo Conservancy, which is open to the public, is included among the private estates on Sundays tour.

SALT LAKE CITY A Bureau of Land Management Utah employee has received a national BLM award.
Rob Sweeten, landscape architect with the BLM-Utah State Office in Salt Lake City, was selected to receive the national BLM employee Making a Difference Award.
The award is presented annually by the BLM to recognize bureau volunteers, whose efforts include trail repair, visitor services, habitat restoration, and many other duties.
Since 2009, Sweeten has mentored six student interns, most of whom began as BLM volunteers. He worked to convert the students to Student Temporary Employment Program status or to a conservation corps intern with the American Conservation Experience youth organization.
The students worked exclusively with Sweeten by assisting with visual inventory work for the Kanab, Monticello, Richfield, and Cedar City field offices and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. By using student volunteers to enter field data into a national database and other projects rather than paying a contractor, the BLM saved $100,000, the bureau said.
Sweeten also speaks at Utah State University and meets with professors to explain the BLM's mission and role, as well as the opportunities available to students.
"Rob embodies the best qualities of a volunteer supervisor, mentor, coach and leader," said state BLM director Juan Palma. "He truly continues to make a difference and is well-deserving of recognition for his ongoing efforts within BLM Utah."
