With Bruschi retired, the former Patriot teammates have a different take on Bill Belichick's now-infamous fourth-down call against the Colts last Sunday. (Staff photo by KEITH NORDSTROM) FOXBORO - If he didn't know it already, Tedy Bruschi learned Thursday that he's yesterday's news inside the Patriots' locker room.
The former linebacker's pointed criticism of Bill Belichick's decision to go for a first down near the end of the 35-34 loss to the Indianapolis Colts prompted a response from the current defensive captain of the Patriots, Jerod Mayo - and he certainly didn't mince words. "I have the utmost respect for Tedy and everything he's done for this organization, but he's not in this locker room at this point in time, so he doesn't know the feelings of this defense or that this team has," Mayo said amid a cluster of reporters in the locker room Thursday. "We still have our confidence, we still have our (swagger), and we we're going out there Sunday and show the media, I guess."

Dust off those old appliances
We know you still have them - the mixer from 1950, the vacuum cleaner you bought in 1975 and the television that has sat in your living room since 1982. They still work, right, so why buy new? If you have one of these old, yet faithful, appliances, we'd like to hear from you. Tell us the story behind the appliance, why you've kept it for so many years, how many times you've had to repair it, if anyone has ever tried to buy you a new item, and if you have plans to replace it in the near future. Send your stories to Living Well Editor Jessica Kosowski, The Sun Chronicle, PO Box 600, Attleboro, MA 02703, or e-mail it to jkosowski@thesunchronicle.com. If you have a photo of the item, or can have someone take a photo of you with the appliance, we'd love to see that, too, so send it along. The deadline to respond is Monday, Nov. 23, so don't delay.  Centered on Parliament buildings replicating London's Westminster and a turreted hotel in the style of a French chateau, Ottawa, Ontario is a Canadian city with both British and French accents.
This city, just an hour north of the U.S. border by car and about 71/2 hours from Attleboro, is a year-round hub of activity, a treasure trove of its nation's history, culture, cuisine, amusements and special events. One of the best-kept secrets of the tourist industry, and once a rowdy and dangerous frontier town of lumberjacks and logging barons called Bytown, Ottawa might have faded into obscurity if not for England's Queen Victoria. Ottawa was an unlikely choice as capital when compared to more civilized cities of Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto and Kingston that had all served in that capacity at some point in time. However, after the struggles of the War of 1812, Queen Victoria was concerned about the vulnerability of border cities to American invasions.
