Kat Frick Miller's royal paintings
Kat Frick Miller's "Yours to discover," 48x60", oil on canvas. Although most Haligonians will be lucky to catch a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II’s hat when she visits next week, artist Kat Frick Miller has been up close to her royal majesty in a more creative way. The inspiration for Miller’s portraits of Queen Elizabeth came from all directions. The artist, who is currently part of NSCAD’s Community Studio Residency program in Lunenburg, started thinking about the role of the British royal family when Stephen Harper asked governor general Michaëlle Jean—-the Queen’s representative in Canada—-for her permission to end the

Food fit for a Queen
Government House, the official home for the Lieutenant Governor, is also the official residence for the Queen, if she so decides (there's no confirmation she's actually staying there). Walking in on Sunday afternoon it's so quiet, there's little indication that royalty's on its way—except for maybe the giant portrait on the staircase, and the metal barricades lined up outside. The 200-plus year-old pad certainly looks guest-ready, especially after three years of renovations that cost upwards of $6 million. Government House's executive chef Steven Galvin was nice enough to open his kitchen and give us a look at what he's

World Cup referees continue to spark controversy
Apparently England's goal did not cross the line We haven't even finished the second round of the World Cup yet and already it's been a remarkable and memorable tournament. After a slow start to the competition, we've seen some incredible goals and some very dramatic endings. Unfortunately these moments are already overshadowed by another topic: (no, not the vuvuzelas) referee errors. In both of yesterday's round of 16 matches the results were undoubtedly spoiled after goals were both disallowed and allowed incorrectly. Frank Lampard's strike in the first half against Germany hit the underside of the crossbar and crossed the
