|Patrice Bergeron's 'perfect first period' goes to waste in collapse
|05.21.11 at 6:23 pm ET
TAMPA — Patrice Bergeron scored twice in the first period, including a shorthanded tally with 2:02 left in the opening 20 minutes that put the Bruins up, 3-0. Then he watched as the Bruins lost all of their momentum in the second period and gave up five unanswered goals in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals at St. Pete Times Forum.
"It was perfect first period," Bergeron said. "We stopped battling, we stopped being hard on the forecheck which is what gave us success in the first period. in the second, we sat back, they have too much speed and too much firepower up front to do that."
Bergeron's two goals came as the Bruins won nearly every aspect of the game in the first period.
"It was more execution," Bergeron said. "We weren't executing at all. The good thing about this is we [can] put it behind us and go back home and worry about that fifth game. That being said, we have to be a lot better.
"They're a good a team but we were on our heels and we didn't find a way to get back to what was giving us success. Once we did that, we had some good shifts that's because we were first on the puck. Tonight was just a matter of we stopped playing. I don't think it was anything else than that. We let them come back in the game. They're a good team and if we do that, they will score."
|Tim Thomas: Bolts 'took over and outplayed us'
|at 5:39 pm ET
TAMPA — After blowing a 3-0 lead to the Lightning in a 5-3 loss in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, Tim Thomas said the Bruins were simply a victim of their own mistakes and lack of hustle.
"We got outworked," Thomas said. "They took over, they outplayed us, they started getting scoring chances and we stopped getting scoring chances."
Midway through the second, Thomas had a 3-0 lead and stopped the first 14 shots he faced before the Lightning scored on three of their next five shots in the period to tie it. Thomas said it won't do the Bruins any good to look back on the Game 4 collapse but rather focus on Game 5 Monday night at TD Garden.
"It is what it is," Thomas said. "It's 2-2. I don't know what the use of worrying about that would be but I think the focus should be oin winning the next game."
Game 6 is scheduled for Wednesday back in Tampa.
TAMPA — The Bruins are expecting a big rush from the Lightning at the beginning of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. If they can withstand that, many Bruins feel they'll have a good chance to win the game and head back to Boston with a chance to clinch on Monday night at TD Garden.
"Definitely excitement, that's for sure," Bruins winger Michael Ryder said of the feeling in the dressing room prior to Saturday's 1:30 p.m. game. "It's a big game, it could be an even series or up 3-1. It's the biggest game of the series so far. For us, we have to take that mindset. I think we're ready to go. It's all about the first 10 minutes of the [first] period. We have to come out hard, throw pucks in and just get that momentum and take it to them quick."
On the rare occasion this season the Bruins failed to look energized, it seemed to always come on a Saturday afternoon. Daniel Paille says he's not exactly worried about that today, considering a win will leave the Bruins one win from the Stanley Cup finals and a chance to clinch Monday night at TD Garden.
"There's no excuse for that," Paille said of any energy drain from an early Saturday afternoon start. "I think everyone one of our guys and their guys will provide a lot of energy. If you can't get up for Game 4 in the conference finals, you've got a lot of trouble. I know, myself, I'll be really energized today."
|Claude Julien still has confidence in a 'more poised' Tomas Kaberle
|05.20.11 at 8:43 pm ET
TAMPA — No one in black and gold felt the heat more late in the season and during the first two rounds than Tomas Kaberle. But the Bruins and Claude Julien believe the 33-year-old veteran blueliner has turned a corner – with his confidence.
The Bruins coach knows his players better than anyone and he could see that the defenseman obtained at the trade deadline to bolster a lagging power play was pressing and struggling.
Julien tried everything. He sat him more. He played him more. Finally, last week, Julien took some of the burden off his shoulders by talking to him and letting him know that he and the team still believe he will help the team at critical times and that there was no reason to be putting the struggles of the Bruins power play unit on his shoulders.
It was during Tuesday night's 6-5 shootout win in Boston that Julien could really start to sense that Kaberle was heeding the message. Ironic that Julien would see Kaberle start to shine in a high-scoring game, of all things. On Thursday, during a more typical 2-0 shutout win, Julien could see the confidence growing in the veteran defenseman as he and Bruins' D cleared lanes for Tim Thomas to see and stop all 31 shots.
"I don't know if it was our best but obviously, it was good enough to win a hockey game," Kaberle said of the Bruins' team D effort. "And Timmy behind us was playing pretty well and he saw a lot of shots and we spent a lot of time in their end. When we do that we have a good chance to win a hockey game."
"I think he's played really well in the last couple of games," Julien said Friday. "And we had a conversation about maybe taking some pressure off his shoulders about everything that wasn't going right about the power play. Fingers kept pointing at him." Read the rest of this entry »
TAMPA — Despite a dominating defensive perfomance in Game 3 and watching his team record its first shutout of the playoffs, Bruins coach Claude Julien isn't letting his team think about what could be if they win their next two games. Julien was asked Friday if being two wins away from the team's first Stanley Cup finals appearance in 21 years provides motivation.
"We don't even talk about that, honestly," Julien said. "Right now, all we've talked about is how important a game tomorrow is for us. We don't want to live in the past. Yesterday was yesterday. [Saturday] is what we want to talk about. We want to live in the present. And today is about getting some good rest and making sure that tomorrow we're well rested, we've got the energy and the focus to do a job. That's what we've been doing since the start.
"And that's what's helped us get through it. The same thing in Montreal. We lost the first two games. We went to Montreal not thinking about the two losses but what we had to do that night. It's really helped us get through things, and that's what our guys are all about right now. So I don't have to worry about what you just asked, because we're not thinking that way."
The players would certainly appear to be heeding the message.
"You can't take any situation for granted," Milan Lucic said after Friday's mainly optional skate at St. Pete Times Forum. "You can't take any team for granted, and that's what we've done so well. We've got to keep being determined to push for more."
Lucic says there no need for reinforcement of Julien's message from veterans like Zdeno Chara, Mark Recchi or Tim Thomas.
"At this point, there's not much you can say," Lucic added. "You've got to know what needs to be done, and when they speak, you can learn a lot from them. They've done a great job leading the way so far, and hopefully they keep leading the way and staying vocal and getting us ready for every situation."
The Bruins play Game 4 against the Lightning Saturday afternoon at 1:30 at St. Pete Times Forum before returning to Boston for Game 5 Monday night in Boston.
TAMPA — Three key stars of Thursday night's 2-0 win over the Lightning in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals were given the day off on Friday from the team's brief practice at St. Pete Times Forum.
Captain Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and David Krejci were all absent as the team skated and went through drills for about 40 minutes in preparation for Game 4 Saturday afternoon in Tampa. Krejci scored the game's first goal 69 seconds into the opening period Thursday while Tim Thomas turned away all 31 Lightning shots in recording the team's first shutout of the 2011 playoffs.
Veterans Dennis Seidenberg and Mark Recchi were also given the day off. The Bruins will be looking to take a 3-1 series lead before the series shifts back to Boston for Game 5 Monday night at TD Garden.
The Bruins will be looking to take a 3-1 series lead before the series shifts back to Boston for Game 5 Monday night at TD Garden.
TAMPA — When doctors gave Patrice Bergeron the go-ahead, he was 100 percent confident that he would be 100 percent when he stepped on the ice Thursday night for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Lightning.
"I was confident that I was ready, and the doctors and trainers were in the same boat as me," Bergeron said. "So, it was time for me to be out there."
Most importantly, there was zero hesitation from his coach.
"Not at all, as far as the hit was concerned," Claude Julien said. "If that would have been a concern, I don't think we would have dressed him tonight. When we decided to dress him, he was 100 percent. And we felt confident about that.
So that hit certainly wasn't a concern, and when I spoke to Patrice today, when he was cleared, my first question to him was, 'Are you comfortable coming back?' And there was no doubt in his mind. He said, 'I'm fine, I'm ready to go.' And that was something that was important, I guess, for everybody." Read the rest of this entry »

Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force
The Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force (also referred to as the Canadian Expeditionary Force (Siberia) or simply C.S.E.F.) was a Canadian military force sent to Vladivostok, Russia, during the Russian Revolution to bolster the allied presence, oppose the Bolshevik revolution and attempt to keep Russia in the fighting against Germany. Composed of 4,192 soldiers and authorised in August 1918, the force returned to Canada between April and June 1919. The force was commanded by Major General James H. Elmsley. During this time, the C.S.E.F. saw little fighting, with fewer than 100 troops proceeding "up country" to Omsk, to serve as administrative staff for 1,500 British troops aiding the anti-Bolshevik White Russian government of Admiral Alexander Kolchak. Most Canadians remained in Vladivostok, undertaking routine drill and policing duties in the volatile port city.[1]
The Marine Cemetery in Vladivostok, a Commonwealth War Graves Commission site, contains the graves of 14 Canadians alongside British, French, Czecho-Slovak and Japanese troops who died during the Siberian Intervention and a monument to Allied soldiers buried in various locations in Siberia. The Commonwealth portion of the cemetery was neglected during the Soviet era; a Canadian naval vessel restored the cemetery in the 1990s.[2] In 1996 a Canadian squadron of warships visited Vladivostok. During the visit sailors from HMCS Protecteur, assisted by members of the Russian Navy, replaced headstones and generally repaired the graves of Canadians buried in a local cemetery.
Allied intervention in Siberia was driven by a mix of motivations. Prior to the Armistice in the fall of 1918, there was a genuine concern that military supplies would be used – directly or indirectly – by the Germans, and that access to the natural resources of the Russian Far East (over the Trans-Siberian Railway) could tilt the outcome of the battles on the Western Front. There was outright hostility to the Bolsheviks, particularly on the part of Winston Churchill, and national trade and (perceived) economic interests on the part of each of the governments. The case of the Czechoslovak prisoners of war, who had been offered safe passage by the Soviet government and then threatened with internment in "concentration camps" aroused sympathy on the part of many governments, particularly the United States. When the Czech troops attempted to battle their way out of Russia - eventually controlling much of the Trans-Siberian railway - various Western governments chose to intervene.
Canadian involvement in the Siberian campaign was to a significant degree driven by the policy of Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden towards the United Kingdom. As a dominion, Canada was neither a full-fledged member of the Entente, nor simply a colony. Borden's arguments for Canada's involvement "had little to do with Siberia per se, and much to do with adding to the British government's sense of obligation to their imperial junior partner".[3] According to Gaddis Smith, Canadian intervention "represents the initial episode in the Canadian struggle for complete control over her foreign policy after World War I. As such, it illustrates the changing relationships within the British Empire more realistically than the scores of constitutional documents that the Commonwealth statesmen self-consciously drafted between 1917 and 1931."[4]
Domestically, the Siberian expedition was presented to the public as a trade and economic opportunity. After the Armistice, however, domestic opinion turned against foreign involvement, particularly with conscript troops.
Trade and business[edit]
The belief that the Bolshevik revolution would be unsuccessful and lead to business and trade opportunities led the Canadian government to appoint the Canadian Siberian Economic Commission in an October 1918 order-in-council, led by trade commissioner Dana Wilgress. The Royal Bank of Canada opened a banking branch in Vladivostok; three employees, and a "57 ton prefabricated bank building were dispatched from Vancouver for Siberia on November 28, 1918".[attribution needed] The prefab bank building was not used, however, and the branch was closed in October 1919, after the withdrawal of the Canadian and British troops.[5]
Support and opposition in Canada[edit]
The force was authorized by the Privy Council (i.e., Cabinet) in early August 1918 after Prime Minister Robert Borden's agreement to support the deployment. The departure of the troops was further delayed by unsuccessful attempts to raise a volunteer force, and there were mutinous events in Victoria prior to departure. There was strong criticism of the campaign from labour and the public, including farmers in the prairie provinces, and from the Toronto Globe newspaper.
Arrival and disposition in Vladivostok[edit]
Under General Elmsley's command, the advance party of Canadian troops arrived in Vladivostok in late October 1918. The general quickly secured base headquarters at the Pushkinsky Theatre, an ornate building in the centre of the city that housed the Vladivostok Cultural-Educational Society. The unilateral Canadian action provoked a strong protest from leading Vladivostok businessmen, who demanded that Elmsley vacate the premises. The Canadians were quartered at three main sites: the East Barracks, at the head of Golden Horn Bay, the former Czarist barracks at Gornestai (today the town of Shitovaya), and the Second River Barracks north of Vladivostok. The main body of the CSEF arrived in Vladivostok in mid-January 1919, aboard the ships Teesta and Protesilaus. The Teesta's departure from Victoria on 21 December 1918 had been delayed by a mutiny of two companies of mainly French-Canadian troops in the 259th Battalion; the Protesilaus also faced difficulties reaching Vladivostok, losing a propeller off the Russian coast when it got stuck in the ice.[6]
Victoria mutiny of 21 December 1918[edit]
On 21 December 1918, two companies of troops in the 259th Battalion (Canadian Rifles), mutinied in the streets of Victoria, British Columbia. The mutiny occurred as the conscripts were marching from the Willows Camp to the city's Outer Wharves. Midway through the march, a platoon of troops near the rear refused to halt. Officers fired their revolvers in the air in an attempt to quell the dissent. When this failed, they ordered the obedient troops, primarily from the Ontario companies, to remove their canvas belts and whip the mutineers back into line. The march proceeded through downtown Victoria to the outer wharves, accompanied by a guard of honour of 50 troops armed with rifles and fixed bayonets. Twenty-one hours later, the SS Teesta left Victoria harbour bound for Vladivostok, with a dozen ringleaders detained in cells. While a court martial found the accused guilty of "mutiny and wilfull disobedience", the sentences were commuted by General Elmsley prior to the Canadian evacuation in early April, amid concern over the legality of deploying men under the Military Service Act for a mission tangentally connected to the "defence of the realm".[7]
A portion of the Churkin Naval Cemetery (known in Russian as the "Morskoe" or Maritime Cemetery on the Churkin Peninsula in Vladivostok) is used in separate sections for soldiers of various nationalities, including Canadian, British, American, French, Czech and Japanese and a few other nationalities (including, for example, the Australian Honorary Consul). Fourteen Canadian soldiers and fourteen British soldiers are buried there. The same section contains a memorial to the ten British and three Canadian soldiers whose graves are found in other parts of Siberia. During the Soviet period, this site was largely unmaintained;[8] in 1996[citation needed], a Canadian warship visited Vladivostok, and the crew restored the graves and memorial, replacing a number of the headstones.[9]

In Sydney, it was places such as Catalina and Otto Ristorante, under Maurice Terzini. In Melbourne, it used to be
These were it places, pre-millennium, for the ladies who lunch – ladies of leisure from Sydney's Point Piper and Woollahra and, in Melbourne, Toorak and South Yarra – who nibbled and nattered away over a bottomless glass of bubbly deep into the afternoon and sometimes evening, no expense spared.
"Twenty years ago there were so many of the Sydney socialites who lived in the area and were great mates . . . who met regularly for lunch down here," recalls
"The Toorak and South Yarra ladies, who all knew each other, loved to come to Lynch's in their droves," remembers the retired octogenarian, who closed his establishment after 30 years in 2007. "Then the Brighton ladies found out and started to come; that's when the war started; I had to split them up into separate rooms." Lynch adds jokingly: "I had to put security on the door when they left."
Merrill Haycock, an ex-luncher who still gets to South Yarra's Cosi and Rouge and Amalia, in Armadale, for the odd catch-up recollects: "Sometimes those ladies' lunches would go on until seven, eight or nine; some nights, you'd go back to someone's house and the husbands would join you."
Both Lynch and McMahon, though, are quick to point out the ladies' lunch scene has irrevocably changed. "There's a solid core of local women, but you wouldn't call them socialites any more," McMahon says. "A lot of them work, have kids at school."
Mix of business and pleasure
"I have work lunches there [during the week] because it's relaxed, elegant and [offers] a more informal approach to business," says Tindill, brand manager and a director of Hamilton Island (part of the Oatley family business empire). "Sundays are long affairs with close girlfriends."
Unlike Tindill, though, Reymond spreads her loyalties, among them: Ichi Ni on the St Kilda foreshore; Stokehouse (plans are being drawn up to rebuild after it burned down in January); her brothers' joint, Bistro Gitan in South Yarra; and MoVida Aqui.
While the ladies who lunch – reputedly a term coined by New York magazine in 1970 and immortalised by composer Stephen Sondheim – are a less rarefied lot these days, not everything is different. Posh restaurants clumped around Melbourne's leafy inner-east and bayside, and Sydney's eastern and northern shores with dazzling prospects of the harbour, remain very much in vogue, not only with the social set but women working in fashion, media, advertising and PR. Stayers like Catalina and Otto are still doing a roaring trade with the gals. "We've been getting a resurgence of ladies who lunch in the past 12 months," confirms Otto's
'We don't play golf'
Some inner-city establishments, such as Machiavelli, Nomad and Gowings Bar & Grill, have also noted an influx. "Women are more likely to be friends and the business comes naturally," observes Machiavelli's
PR agent Sally Burleigh is more blunt: "We don't play golf." Melbourne publicity doyenne Ann Morrison, however, says there's a degree of following what's new and trending or a particular chef.
"We're all into food, seeing the newest, hottest place," says Keebaugh, who loves mingling the different coteries from her various walks of life.
Also, as with more general dining trends, lunch is more casual. "Less pomp and ceremony, less making a day of it," says Merivale's food and beverage director,
For Matt Moran, it's about shared plates and lighter meals (and the cocktail bar) as much as Chiswick's garden setting.
"I'm not saying it's a feminine restaurant, but it attracts a lot of ladies," he says between location shoots for his next series of Paddock to Plate.
Some restaurants are making efforts to boost their appeal. Always popular, Malvern's newly renamed Allium Food & Wine (née Livingroom) has redecorated, simplified and made healthier its menu and added the odd feminine touch. "We've made the food pretty, with edible flowers (nasturtium, white borage and blue sapphire)," says co-owner
Pockets of resistance
Otto, too, is midway through a Saatchi-led rebrand – including new uniforms, menus and logo – which Fink attributes to the renewed interest from women; and The Village in Potts Point has even gone so far as to create a fixed-price Ladies' Lunch menu, says owner
But there are pockets of resistance. Catering supremo
"The ladies love it," he says. "We're booked out every day."
Lunch has also become a moveable feast, with ladies bringing the hour forward to brunch or bumping it back to dinner. Melbourne mother of four Simone O'Donohue prefers the evening. "I find we're more preoccupied with children and their activities (at lunch), so it's hard to relax [during the day]," she says, naming The Smith (Prahran), Bistro Thierry (Toorak), The Public House (Richmond) and Orrong Hotel (Armadale) among her after-hours picks, sans kids.
Charity lunches are also still a big part of the lunching-ladies circuit. "A lot of ladies do lunch for charity these days as opposed to just lunching," says Burleigh, who's involved with several of them.Among them are the YWCA Mother of All Lunches at Luke Mangan's Glass Brasserie; last year's Loyal Ladies' Lunch at Bennelong; and the Crown Ladies' Lunch for White Ribbon Australia next month, hosted by Crown corporate and PR general manager
"It's the element of giving back that makes a lunch like that worthwhile," says Peacock.

New Zealand actress Anna Paquin has given birth to healthy twins with her True Blood co-star and husband.
The Hollywood actress and Stephen Moyer are reportedly overjoyed at the birth of their babies.
The twins came a few weeks early, but are reportedly in good health.
A representative for the Hollywood couple said: "We can confirm Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer recently welcomed their twins into the world. The babies were born a few weeks early, but are in good health and mum and dad are overjoyed," Bang! Showbiz reported.
The twins' gender and names have not yet been revealed.
In July it was confirmed Paquin and Moyer were expecting twins.
Moyer, 42, already has two children, Billy and Lilac, from a previous relationship.
Moyer previously told US Weekly that he loved his kids beyond anything.
"They're the best things ever, and having two more is just going to be even more crazy, but that's cool."
He said Paquin, 29, had been doing well with her pregnancy.
Paquin has said that she thought she would be a "nesty" mother and was looking forward to settling down.
"I have a side that's very nesty. And another that thinks, 'Let's lock up the house and go away for five months'."
The couple began dating in 2007 when they met on the True Blood set as on-screen lovers Sookie Stackhouse and vampire Bill Compton.
They got engaged in 2009, and married in Malibu a year later.
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman's partner is Paquin's sister, Katya, and the pair attended the wedding in 2010.
"It was really, really beautiful, actually. It was great," Norman said at the time of the wedding. "Somehow they've managed to stay real in the middle of this unreal world. It was quite sweet."
Norman would not comment today on the birth of Paquin's twins.
Paquin attended Wellington schools before moving to the US with her mother in 1995.
Paquin and Moyer now live in Los Angeles.

Monday 15th July 2013 saw the official opening of the first Confucius classroom in Cardiff at Cathays High School.
The Confucius Classroom was launched by Mr Feng Zhi, the second secretary of the Education section of the Chinese Embassy, with representatives from the Welsh Government, the British Council and Cardiff Confucius Institute also in attendance.
The launch evening included musical performances from pupils at Cathays High School and a traditional Chinese tea Ceremony, as well as a tour of the dedicated Confucius Classroom, which was brightly decorated with Chinese crafts and examples of pupils work.
With their dedicated teachers from China, Confucius Classrooms are able to offer pupils Mandarin as part of their curriculum, as well as adapting subject areas such as History and Geography to include fascinating insights into China. Chinese teachers at the Confucius Classrooms also extend their teaching activities to other schools in their catchment areas, making extra-curricular and more regular teaching of Chinese available to many schools that might not otherwise have the resources or funding to deliver such enrichment.
Eluned Davies- Scott, Head of Community Education and the teacher responsible for the Confucius Classroom at Cathays High said, "It is a really exciting time for Cathays High School's partnership with China. We are delighted to be one of about 400 Confucius Classrooms that have been established in over 100 countries, demonstrating once again the truly international status of Cathays High School.

As Hallowe'en approaches, so does the impending release of Metallica's new album, Lulu, a double-CD collaboration with venerated legend Lou Reed. As if the pairing of Metallica and Reed wasn't random enough, the album is an adaptation of a trilogy of works by late-19th-century German expressionist playwright Frank Wedekind, whose work is perhaps best-known as having inspired the 1929 Louise Brooks vehicle Pandora's Box:
The slow-motion approach of the album (first as a leak of "single" "The View", then as 30-second snippets of every track, then as an eventual streaming-full-album-listen) has allowed metal fans to consider the record's release in much the way Grover saw the final page of The Monster At The End of This Book: a molasses-thick approaching apocalypse, as the former metal titans finally and unequivocally tank their reputation as the top metal band of all time, the Led Zeppelin of their generation, etc etc. Sure, there was the Load/Re-load era, with the matching alt-haircuts; then the Napster period of shame; then St. Anger and the filmed therapy sessions that birthed the album, released as the documentary Some Kind Of Monster. Now, with Lulu, every media outlet (including the reliable metal bullshit detector that is NPR) grimaces with knives out to eviscerate Hetfield and Co. once and for all, marking them as the laughing stock of metal for good.
There's an implicit lesson here, or at least a message being sent to Metallica by those that mock and tease: that the band should cut the shit and start acting like the metal royalty that they are. You know, the way that other more respected elder statesmen do, like Slayer, or Iron Maiden, or Motörhead. What does that mean? Well, it means that Metallica, in the autumn of their years, should (according to this line of thinking) begin to acknowledge their legacy, their fan base, their place in metal's hegemony, and begin the final phase of their career, the part where they dutifully trot out the hits every few years, occasionally releasing albums that nicely fit into their discography. Clearly, Metallica aren't interested in this option.
In an interview with Franco-German TV network Arte, Lou Reed discusses the genesis of the project, and how he approached the band with the question "Are you read to end your career?" Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich convulse with laughter, and Hetfield says "Every album!"
What band says that nowadays? Definitely not any other metal bands -- most metal legends are all too happy to appease their fans, doing whatever it takes to present them with digestible product on the reg. It is usually the domain of "alternative" music to create difficult records that may be indigestible to the general public (the Radiohead Stratagem, or the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Gambit, we'll call it), but there is a noticeable cognitive dissonance with Metallica's actions in the last two decades: ever since their 1991 self-titled album blew up bigger than any metal album in history, the band has done whatever they can to challenge both themselves and their audience. Perhaps it's a product of boredom, or maybe it's the intra-band self-loathing that produced the uncomfortable laughs of their 2004 documentary Some Kind Of Monster, wherein the band, on the verge of collapse, allowed film-makers to hit "record" while they wrung their hands with therapists and producers, spending countless months producing what would eventually become their most unpopular album, the ugly, brutal and outright amateurish St. Anger.
Post-Black Album, Metallica has done their damnedest to dismantle the towering temple of metal radness that is their legacy -- taking the formula of breakneck riffs, forlorn pentatonic classicism and teenage sullenness and injecting it with the most incongruous elements imaginable, just to see what will happen. From the weird country-tinged twang of certain tracks off of '96's Load and '97's Re-load, to the grafted-on symphonic garishness of their 1999 S&M live album, to the detuned screaming muck of St. Anger. Post-1991, every element of their sound has been seemingly at war with the Metallica legacy, whether it's Ulrich's refusal to stick to the full-bore drum attack of the band's classic days, or Hetfield's desire to diverge from his classic wounded howl, or guitarist Kirk Hammett's refusal to play standard metal wah-tinged solos anymore. Fans might think that the band are fucking with them: but it's more like Metallica are fucking with themselves.
Some Kind Of Monster, besides being perhaps the funniest rock documentary of all time, sheds some real insight into the psychology of an enormously successful musical group, especially one slightly past their prime. A key segment involves Lars Ulrich's father, a judgmental character who intimidates his son with both his daunting Nordic facial hair and his casually cruel dismissals of his millionaire son's accomplishments. In this scene, for example, watch around the 2:30 mark as Far Ulrich listens to the spaced-out ambient sounds of a new Metallica track (reportedly written and recorded after the entire band checked out a performance by then-hip-and-new Icelandic droners Sigur Rós) and says "I would say 'delete that'":
Ouch! Not to say that all of Metallica's poor PR decisions spring from not-very-latent daddy issues, but the tension here is undeniable -- and the track in question remains unreleased, perhaps even deleted.
Metallica's success was borne on the wings of teenage dissolution, anger and resentment at life's unfairness. Prior waves on heavy metal were based on a different attitude, a party-hearty credo of metal tribal bonding that featured blatant fantasy (both of the D&D and teenage male sexuality type); Metallica ignored all of that, focusing on the bummer that is one's lot in life. And in stark contrast to the whittle-everything-down-to-the-fast-parts sonic motto of many of their fellow thrashers, Metallica found a way to fuse the light and the dark in their music. It's easy to forget that prior to Metallica's ascendancy, there were two types of heavy metal songs: rockers and ballads.
Classic Metallica tunes like "Damage, Inc.", "Harvester of Sorrow," "Sanitarium," and especially their worldwide late '80s video smash "One," set the blueprint for what the band did best: long, long songs that dynamically shifted from plangent sorrow-laden acoustic moments to ripping thrash, with intermittent solo torrents. In metal at the time, bands would have songs that rocked and ballads that sold millions as singles (and appealed to a female audience, supposedly), and never the two met. Metallica smashed through that barrier and managed to hoover up thrash and hair metal fans by the truckload and make it all make sense. But what those fans perhaps didn't get was that Metallica's musical mashup was at heart experimental, if not outright indulgent, and that those experimental and indulgent tendencies would never go away, especially in a post-Black Album hangover.
Part of the reason that Metallica increasingly has been able to get away with indulging their musical whims is due to the fact that, once they became a dependable brand in terms of selling out enormodomes worldwide, they no longer really relied on albums for income. In 2009, for example, when they released the successful "back to their classic sound" Rick Rubin-produced Death Magnetic, Metallica closed the year out as the 10th biggest money maker in music, roping in over $25 million.
Of that $25 million, though, only $1.6M was from album sales -- the rest was from various income streams having to do with their massively successful world tour. And of that $1.6M, the lion's share came not from sales of Death Magnetic, but from earnings tied to downloads of their 1991 Black Album single "Enter Sandman." The lesson here is clear: it doesn't matter if every music writer, pundit and metal scribe on the planet lashes the band mercilessly for whatever new musical project they choose to embark on; as long as there is a world tour involved that sees them playing the hits, they will still at the end of the day be a massively successful and lucrative metal machine. So, an album with Lou Reed? Sure, why not!
Look at the rabid reception of this year's Big Four shows, both in Europe and in the States -- even with Metallica's reputation in alleged tatters, they still had no problem whatsoever headlining the two biggest metal stadium shows of the year, and could just as easily rule the 2012 tour circuit if they so choose. That is, as long as they don't do something foolish like attempt to play Lulu live... which is exactly what Hetfield is now threatening, having recently told an interviewer on an Argentinian radio "We would love to do some shows [with Reed, performing Lulu live]". Perhaps they could, peppered amidst Lulu tracks, some Velvet Underground gems, like this one, performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary show:
This performance, incidentally, is how Reed and the band met, and came up with the idea of the album. The result of this chance meeting is perhaps one of rock's most epic oddities, as Metallica indulge their recent fetish for atmospherics and unsettling non-grooves with Reed's spoken word grump-growl. Lulu is not that different from Reed's 2003 album The Raven, a bloated star-studded double-disc set that saw rock's Poet Laureate attempting, much like the Alan Parsons Project did in 1976, to set the verse of Edgar Allen Poe to music. The result? Well, uh, it's kind of like this:
Wow, right? Viewed in comparison to The Raven, then, the stumbling awkwardness and moments-of-uncomfortable-silence that "mar" Lulu kind of stand as an achievement, a melding of two things that shouldn't work at all. To my ears, it kind of functions in a similar way to a track from noise-trio Shellac's 2007 album Excellent Italian Greyhound, "Genuine Lullabelle," which similarly mixed lyrical ugliness, lurching noise rock, dramatic pauses, scraping terror, and spoken-word banality:
Not to say that Lulu is the most essential music of the year, or that it deserves a place at the winner's circle of Metallica's discography or anything. Although it's clear that the band isn't trying for that -- risking career suicide, they just wanted to see if they could do it, and they did it, and it's every bit as challenging and ugly and compelling as they intended. Moreover, there is even precedent in their career for this sort of collaboration -- back in 1997, they had a minor hit off of their Re-load album with "The Memory Remains," featuring on the chorus the creaky moans of '60s icon Marianne Faithfull. For some reason no one seemed to bat an eye at the oddity of this teamup, perhaps owing to the fact that even with Faithfull's raspy squawk (and I mean that in the best possible sense!) the song manages to be the most concisely rocking moment on the album.
So perhaps Lulu is just "The Memory Remains" writ large, all gross and scarred and bloated. A "fuck you" to their fans? Their label? Their detractors? Themselves? Perhaps it's all of the above, or none -- but if you have even a passing fascination with challenging music, you owe it to yourself to at least give the thing a listen, which you can do right here; it may be the scariest thing you hear this whole season.

Vandals damage greens at East Providence's Agawam Hunt golf course
EAST PROVIDENCE — For the second time in as many weeks vandals struck a city golf course.
Three young men were arrested for their actions during the weekend of June 21 at Wannamoisett Country Club. In what at the moment appears to be unrelated incidents last weekend, the Agawam Hunt Club, located about a mile away from Wannamoisett in the Rumford section of the city, twice reported cases of vandalism in the span of three nights.
Agawam course supervisor Drew Cummins contacted East Providence Police on Friday morning, June 28, to report the greens on holes 1 and 17 had been damaged at some point overnight. It appeared the flag sticks on each green had been used to repeatedly "stab" the surface. On the 17th hole, a divot repair shovel was used to cut a one-foot section of the green. In addition, ball washers and divot repair boxes had been thrown into a nearby wooded area on the course. Mr. Cummins told police the same type of vandalism had occurred recently, but he refrained from calling authorities. Roughly $200 in damages took place during the incident.
Three days later, on the morning of July 1, Mr. Cummins once again called East Providence Police to report vandalism at the club. This time, three greens and hole cups on each were damaged to the tune of about $400. Mr. Cummins requested increased police patrols in the area during the overnight hours.

Yes, actually…Ron Paul IS responsible for those newsletters…
posted at 11:49 am on December 20, 2011 by MadisonConservative
As Ron Paul supporters continue to have a collective orgasm at the thought that America's Greatest Patriot may win the Iowa caucuses, pretty much everyone who doesn't support him, on both sides of the aisle, is bringing up those newsletters of his. Sensible enough. Every time a candidate starts showing an advantage, something comes out to torpedo them. In Paul's case, it's something we saw last time around. However, its age, contrary to the opinions of some, doesn't dilute the validity of the claim.
The primary argument that most Paul supporters seem to offer up is that Two First Names denies having written the material, and that his name was simply a branding on the newsletter. The fact that he was listed as editor on these publications weakens that argument from the start, but the real pressure point is from the Dallas Morning News, May 22nd, 1996:
Dr. Ron Paul, a Republican congressional candidate from Texas, wrote in his political newsletter in 1992 that 95 percent of the black men in Washington, D.C., are "semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
He also wrote that black teenagers can be "unbelievably fleet of foot." […]
Dr. Paul, who is running in Texas' 14th Congressional District, defended his writings in an interview Tuesday. He said they were being taken out of context.
"It's typical political demagoguery," he said. "If people are interested in my character … come and talk to my neighbors." […]
According to a Dallas Morning News review of documents circulating among Texas Democrats, Dr. Paul wrote in a 1992 issue of the Ron Paul Political Report: "If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet of foot they can be."
Dr. Paul, who served in Congress in the late 1970s and early 1980s, said Tuesday that he has produced the newsletter since 1985 and distributes it to an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 subscribers. A phone call to the newsletter's toll-free number was answered by his campaign staff. […]
Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote the columns. He said they should be read and quoted in their entirety to avoid misrepresentation. […]
"If someone challenges your character and takes the interpretation of the NAACP as proof of a man's character, what kind of a world do you live in?" Dr. Paul asked.
In the interview, he did not deny he made the statement about the swiftness of black men.
"If you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them," Dr. Paul said.
He also said the comment about black men in the nation's capital was made while writing about a 1992 study produced by the National Center on Incarceration and Alternatives, a criminal justice think tank based in Virginia.
Citing statistics from the study, Dr. Paul then concluded in his column: "Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
"These aren't my figures," Dr. Paul said Tuesday. "That is the assumption you can gather from" the report.
How do you take statements like "95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal" out of context, unless you're addressing such assertions in a critique of those who make them? The links I provided above provide several more articles that back up this point, but I think one is sufficient to demonstrate that Paul, in fact, defended the statements made in these newsletters, with the same old lame political rhetoric employed by most modern liberals, after being caught saying stupid crap.
Now, let me pre-address a few expected counters to this.
You can't trust the media! Fair enough, but how else are we to find out what Paul's history was regarding these newsletters? We have to use what's available.
He never actually says in the article that he wrote anything! His words are specific enough that he is defending the content. Regardless, his statement that "these aren't my figures" also provides the implication that the interpretation of the figures are his own.
And now, the big counter I expect: He hasn't said anything like that in recent years, so it doesn't matter.
Then why not vote for Mitt Romney? I've heard the exact same argument from Romney supporters. Multiple times I've been told "he hasn't changed his positions since 2005". News flash: when you have to command people to ignore a politician's history in order to defend duplicitous, reprehensible, or contradictory behavior, your candidate sucks.
Now, that isn't a huge surprise, given the rest of the 2012 GOP roster. I'm without a candidate that I can support, sadly. From a domestic platform standpoint, Paul is pretty damned attractive as a small-government pro-liberty conservative. However, the main apprehension that I and most other conservatives find with the guy is his attitude towards Israel, and the propensity for attracting the support of groups like 9-11 truthers and white supremacists. Supporters have also argued that a politician can't control who takes a liking to them, and for the most part, that's true.
However, when you have newsletters that spew the same garbage that these Emmy Award winners live by, you're defending them one minute, and pretending they don't exist the next…how can we trust you?

This interesting insect feeds primarily on carrion. The beetle buries the bodies of small dead vertebrates to serve as food for their young. Burying beetle larvae receive much parental care, which is critical for their survival.
The species once was widely distributed across eastern North America, including 32 states and Canada. According to the USFWS, the beetle's range has been reduced to populations in Arkansas, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Texas. The beetle is known to occur in Franklin, Little River, Logan, Scott and Sebastian counties in Arkansas. The IUCN Red Data Book (Wells et al. 1983) refers to this species decline as "one of the most disastrous declines of an insect's range ever to be recorded."
Its decline has been attributed to a variety of factors, including disappearance of old-growth deciduous forests, decreasing populations of the small mammals and birds on which the insects feed and rear their young, and competition from vertebrate scavengers.

This contest is only open to users 18 and older, located in the United States. We know it sucks. We're sorry.Booooooooo!At least I got my Lachesis.
EU Player here.Boo
I could use a new mouse badly.
Ok.This mouse looks amazing!
Awww c'mon. All good stuff always ninjad by yankeesGiev EU only contest now!/end eu-rant
I tried using Google Translator to find what ''Boooooo'' was in all the major EU languages, Spanish, French, German etc. But it doesn't work.So, in plain old English: Booooooo.
@Noxy: Naga turned out awesome. Love the colouring. Fantastic job. <3
"Ever wondered what it would be like to hold a Naga in your hands?" <-- from the contest page.You know, if the Nagas where that cute before our resident artist Noxychu got done with them, I would say yes, and if they stay that cute after Noxychu illustrates them, then Hell yes!
<3 puns
is it really that hard to organise a EU contest? im not complaining, but ive seen some interesting prices lately (like the naga) and idd love to get a shot at one of them, so this is no complaining, merely a question.what does it take to organise a EU contest?
*Crosses My Fingers*Thanks to Wowhead and Razer for the another contest with great "loot."I have never been on a website that put together/was a part of so many cool contest.My Deathadder has been running great since it was released but this Naga looks pretty awesome.For the complainers, get a EU company to team up with Wowhead, and you'll have an EU contest. Razer is based Carlsbad, Ca, thus legally it's much easier to do a US only contest. Don't worry some US States have issues with contest and aren't allowed to enter and do stuff in certain contest so you EU guys aren't alone all the time.
Dat naga. I hope noxy released a bigger version of it, it's mighty cute.
Sweet. I currently have a G5 laser mouse from logitech, but an upgrade would always be nice. (Especially one geared towards MMO players).Just one question, under "daily prizes" it says "every other day"... Which is it? Hope it's daily and not every other day (twice as many chances to win).
can we lie on the age thing?>.><.<
Psshhh.. Old news, Malgayne.;)
Well, from reading the amount of "but I dont qualify" responses, my feeling of my chances just got a little better.Ill warn you though, I never win anything. Thats why I dont play the lottery...or gamble in any way with my money.

Well written article! I agree with it.
This is a discussion on "HOW GUNS WON" Time magazine's cover story, 8/6/2012 within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; "How Guns Won - why Americans have turned against gun control" by Joe Klein much of the usual stuff we're used to hearing from the ...
"How Guns Won - why Americans have turned against gun control" by Joe Klein
much of the usual stuff we're used to hearing from the anti-gun left: "absolutely no rational or sporting reason for an individual to have a semiautomatic weapon or a gun clip (sic) that can fire 50 to 100 rounds at a time." "but an assault weapon ban and a more advanced recording system for ammunition purchases (and perhaps...a tax on ammunition) might prevent some of these crimes." "if only one person had escaped injury the law (the author's proposed law banning assault weapons) would be worth it..."
yet the article also says, contradicting the author's gun-banning POV: "It also didn't help that there was no clear evidence that the assault-weapons ban had accomplished anything." (during the 10 years of its life, 1994-2004). in other words, assault weapon bans don't do any good, but we want them anyway because such guns are evil.
there is a chart showing how the violent crime rate has dropped over the last 36 years from 47.7 per 1000 persons in 1976 to 14.9 per 1000 persons in 2010. to quote the title of John Lott's book, "More Guns, Less Crime". in other words, more guns haven't resulted in higher crime rates, but we want them banned anyway because they're evil.
another chart in the article, shows how "public support for gun control has decreased dramatically in recent decades": from 78% in 1991 who responded to a Gallup poll in favor of stricter gun laws, down to 43% with that same opinion in 2011.
i believe that the rise in pro-gun sentiment among the general public is mostly because of the significant increase in the number of states with "shall issue" concealed carry permitting systems, (that started with Florida in 1987) AND THE ABSENCE OF THE CATACLYSMIC RESULTS FORECAST BY THE ANTI-GUN ELEMENTS EVERY TIME ANOTHER STATE PASSED SUCH LAWS. despite what the Ivy league educated left seems to believe, we - the general public - are quite smart about most things. if having more law-abiding citizens carrying guns does not increase the general level of gun violence, then i want a gun, too.
from this article and comments from liberal columnist EJ Dionne on PBS's Newshour on 7/20/2012, i believe that "assault weapons" are once again to be the left's epitome of evil guns, which must be removed from the hands of ordinary people at whatever cost.
except that they won't be. since the Aurora shooting "there has been no conversation about either gun control or the mental health system..."
the reason? as Ed Morrissey wrote in another pro-gun article i just read (see the DC thread titled "when should we have a gun control debate?"), "we've had this debate, and gun control lost. that's why no one in Washington wants to have it again."

Conspiracy theories, government cover-up, global corruption...it's not just weirdos talking flying saucers in the desert or guys on the grassy knoll anymore. Break out your tinfoil and commence to making hats because there's a whole lot of gubmint kool-aid we're being fed with a fire hose. They've been feeding the world so much of this bull for so long we're beyond liking it, we need it. I used to wonder why the rest of the world seemed to have such an intense hate for the US when we go around being the world police and giving so much money to everyone. Well, not so much of a mystery anymore.

Wow. "Time" magazine is still in print? Does anyone actually read it? I hear "Newsweek" is going all digital - no more paper magazines. No one is buying (literally) their spun "news" any more.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.

I was stuck reading Redbook in the dentist office today. What a load of crap. No wonder we can't figure the opposite gender out. Stupid articles like "What your man is thinking when he says x..." When my wife asks me what I'm thinking about and I say "nothing", I literally mean "nothing." Sometimes it is guns, cars, or golf....but mostly nothing. I told her she can rest assured that it is NEVER "the status of our relationship." I figure if I come home and she is still here, we're good. Too bad I didn't have a Time or Newsweek handy.

It sounds like you have a pretty good sense of the issue. All the calibers you mentioned have the risk of serious over-penetration. Hollow points tend to fill their tip with drywall and act more like FMJ. I have read some articles that .223/5.56 tend to fragment when they go through walls and it reduces over-penetration danger. Even buckshot is dangerous through walls...
For those who have never seen it, it is a fun site:
The Box O' Truth - Ammo Penetration testing
Some well placed bookshelves (full of books) will give some backstop. Best advice is to be judicious with the shots and make sure they hit their mark. You will be able to take other non-firearm measures to help make your home safe. (motion lights, deadbolts, alarms, dogs, ect...)

The book was written at a time when the British were examining and exploring Christmas traditions from the past as well as new customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees. Carol singing took a new lease on life during this time. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied, but are, principally, the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales.

Were Izzy to enter the swashbuckling ranks (which is unlikely given his concern for, er, gallantry, not to mention his fear of stains that no drycleaner can remove), he'd wear a skull-and-crossbones bow tie—threatening, but not too threatening—and be accompanied by his loyal parrot, "Popinjay."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Website, http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca, Brings New Life to Abortion Debate in Canada
Website, http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca, Brings New Life to Abortion Debate in Canada Pro-life group equips Canadians to make abortion unthinkable
Saying that it is part of a renewed effort to re-open the abortion debate in Canada, a national, young-adult-lead pro-life group launched its comprehensive, multimedia website today: http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca.
Stephanie Gray, executive director of the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) says the site will get people talking about abortion again.
"The main questions in the abortion debate have always been, What are the pre-born? and What does abortion do to them?" says Gray. "Our site provides scientific and philosophical reasons why the pre-born must be human beings and therefore must be protected like born human beings."
At the heart of the site is a "Pro-life Classroom" section (http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/truth.html) that will equip Canadians to know why abortion is the taking of an innocent human person. Using videos, images and solid arguments, Gray says the site will be accessible to anyone. "It is a must-stop site for everyone who wants to engage in a reasoned discussion about abortion."
The lessons include pro-life responses to abortion advocates such as Judith Jarvis Thompson (http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/unborn.html) and Peter Singer (http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/humans.html).
The site also explains CCBR's approach to pro-life activism (http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/picturespl.html) and CCBR's study of how other social movements in history achieved change (http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/socialreform.html).
Gray admits that recent polls have shown Canadians don't want to talk about abortion but says it's because Canadians don't know enough about abortion.
"It's no surprise that most Canadians don't want to talk about abortion. Two-thirds of them admit they don't even know that there is no abortion law in Canada—that we can legally kill pre-born humans at anytime during pregnancy for any reason or no reason at all. And to think that taxpayers pay for these killings," she said.
Gray's colleague, Jojo Ruba, says the site is all about challenging how people think about abortion, especially those swayed by abortion advocates.
"CCBR's talks and projects have been censored by abortion advocates all around the country in the name of 'choice,'" he said. "Our site will bypass these censors and ensure that everyone knows exactly what they mean when they say 'choice'—a choice that decapitates, disembowels and dismembers a human being."
Ruba said the site will not just move people to be against abortion but to be actively pro-life—to become pro-life ambassadors. "As pro-life ambassadors we aim to teach people to do more than just be personally opposed to abortion. They must learn to effectively share their convictions with others. We want Canadians from coast to coast to have the tools to make abortion unthinkable right in their own communities."
"The most important frontline in the abortion debate isn't on Parliament Hill or even in provincial legislatures, but in the neighbourhoods where ordinary Canadians live," says Gray. "If we can change how Canadians think about abortion—that no one has a right to choose to kill innocent human beings—then this website http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca will help us stop abortion in our lifetime."

Mike Amery, a guesthouse owner from Pennsylvania has been holed up in a bed and breakfast in deepest Cornwall blending, baking and crimping. "It's a science rather than an art," he says. "I think it will taste fine, I'm not sure about the beauty contest aspect – will it look alright?"
Amery is one of the cooks, professional and amateur, who have journeyed from across the globe to compete at the inaugural World Pasty Championships this weekend at the Eden Project in St Austell.
Pasty fans have been arriving from the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland and Wales to try to win an "Oggy Oscar" (Oggy is a Cornish name for a pasty).
Among the entrants are a professor from Vancouver and a New York travel writer. Chefs from the Bridgeport Pasty Company in Chicago, who sell their treats from an electric van called Patsy, have shipped over samples of their "chic-pot-pies". The people of the Mexican state of Hidalgo could not make it but asked a Cornishwoman to represent them and enter their spicy version of the pasty, the paste into the contest.
Amery was taught how to make a pasty by his mother and has been tempting his guests with them since. He had planned to bake his pasty, which is filled with lamb rather than the traditional beef, at home and fly over with it until he found he would not be allowed to bring it through customs.
"I didn't fancy having a sniffer dog chasing me through the airport," he says. He arrived with his measuring cup and some American flour and began sourcing local lamb, turnips, potatoes, onion and mint. "It started off as a bit of fun but it's feeling serious now."
The contest is a reminder both of the joy of a plump pasty and its spread around the planet.
According to the Cornish Pasty Association, the pasty first appeared in the 13th century. By the 18th century it was the staple diet of working men across Cornwall, a self-contained, portable meal. When Cornish miners emigrated they took the pasty with them. In mining areas in the US, Australia and Mexico the pasty is celebrated, revered – and eaten in great quantities.
Last year, the "Cornish pasty" was awarded protected geographical indication status by the EU. If a pasty is to be labelled Cornish it must contain set ingredients: minced or roughly-cut beef, swede, potato and onion. It is crimped on one side, not on top. And it must be made in Cornwall.
So, Amery cannot enter his pasty into the Cornish pasty section of the competition. His creation will compete in the savoury pasty category.
As will the paste created by Pam Williams, a manager at the Poldark tin mine in Cornwall, who is baking on behalf of the Mexican town of Real del Monte. Cornish miners reputedly introduced both football and the pasty to Mexico when they arrived to reopen the silver mines in the 19th century after the Mexican war of independence. Williams' paste will contain beef, potatoes, leeks and chilli. "The chilli is an acquired taste. Not everyone likes it but I do," she said.
There are about 30 paste producers in Real del Monte, which is twinned with Redruth in Cornwall because of its mining heritage. "The only ingredient they can't get to make a traditional Cornish pasty is swede," said Williams, who once ran into trouble with Mexican customs officers when she tried to take the vegetable across the border.
Despite the international flavour of the event, the clever money may still be on local winners. Gem Witchalls, a musician and website designer from Truro, could have a chance for her offbeat "woodland" themed entry in the savoury section. Her pasty includes wild mushroom, chestnuts, spring onions – and squirrel meat.
"Squirrel tastes a bit like a cross between a rabbit and chicken," she said. "I'm a bit of a hillybilly, we grew up eating rabbit and pigeon because we didn't have much money. I think everyone will be eating squirrel in 10 years time."
Traditionalist Frank Bradshaw and one of his top crimpers was baking into the early hours of Saturday in an attempt to win the professional Cornish pasty gong (the trophies, incidentally, are made of balsa wood grown in Eden's domes).
Starting in the back of a butcher's shop, Bradshaw built up a successful pasty business, then retired to Lanzarote but missed making pasties so much he returned to help found Cornish Premier Pasties. He uses local skirt beef – a tasty rather than tender cut – and a secret ingredient. "But then everyone has a secret ingredient, don't they?" he said.

Historical cottage located only two blocks from the beach. One of the original Rehoboth cottages that dates back to 1927, and is on the historical registry. Fantastic location, two blocks from the beach and silver lake, also an easy walk to town. Our cozy living room has a wood burning fireplace, and a HD flat screen tv. Beautiful and relaxing screen porch with plenty of seating. Charming backyard area that includes a patio and grill, made private by a fence. Plenty of bikes available to ride around town. Four bedrooms and two full baths with an outdoor shower.
Renters will need to bring sheets and towels. There are two queen beds and four twin beds.
Really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location just blocks from the beach and also blocks from downtown with all the great places to eat. Lovely cottage.
The cottage was very welcoming and cozy! We loved the screened-in front porch & spent most of our time at "home" out there. The property itself is quite shady, but the Air Conditioning was perfection, when we needed relief from the humidity. We enjoyed using the backyard grill (propane or charcoal), and visiting Claws Seafood for dinner. This place is on the southern end of Rehoboth, which made it very convenient for us to get to Dewey, where our dog was welcome on the beach all day! The bicycles were such an added bonus! We rode them all over town...just remember to bring your own bicycle locks and helmets. Colby was wonderful with communication...answering my numerous questions very, very quickly! A great stay!
This is our 2nd year at this property. I would so love to rent it next year at the same time because Rehoboth is much quieter after Labor Day. My older grandson will be in 1st grade, though. I might just have to rent it in August. Loved the bikes. They all seem to be in good working order and was able to get out every morning before 10 to ride one on the boardwalk. Never drove the car, just used them to get to groceries, etc. We spent most of our time there on the porch which is comfortable and can squeeze 8 at the table for dinners.
Charming, historic cottage in great location! Walk to beach, lake and town. Great wraparound screened porch and cute back pack patio. Weather didn't cooperate, but enjoyed the house! Owner is accommodating.
The cottage was perfect for the 3 kids and 4 adults that stayed. The location and community was great for biking and having a local playground was also really helpful. The house was only a brief walk to the main attractions on the boardwalk. The house was clean and had everything that we needed, including great parking. I would absolutely rent again!
We had always wanted to spend the Thanksgiving holiday at the beach, and the cottage at 202 Norfolk St., in Rehoboth made it a great success.
As always, we found it warm and comfortable, with everything we could possibly need. More than that, the wonderful owner welcomed us with a beautiful flower arrangement and box of chocolate.
Our long weekend also coincided with an unseasonably warm stretch of weather that allowed for morning runs and walks on the beach. It was like being transported to Southern Calif for the weekend.
What more could you ask for?
Many, many thanks.
