The NRA was right: Harry Reid decided to squelch the asault weapons ban. Has the "Connecticut Effect" (after Sandy Hook) ended?

The Great Escape with Christopher Pagliuco
by Fieldstone Common in History
Tags: History Edward Whalley William Goffe Puritans Christopher Pagliuco
LIVE: THURSDAY, 6 June 2013 at 1:00pm EDT
This week on Fieldstone Common, Marian Pierre-Louis interviews Christopher Pagliuco, author of The Great Escape of Edward Whalley and William Goffe: Smuggled Through Connecticut.
When Puritans Edward Whalley and William Goffe joined the parliamentary army against King Charles I in the English civil wars, they seized an opportunity to overthrow a tyrant. Under their battlefield leadership, the army trounced the Royalist forces and then cut off the king's head. Yet when his son, Charles II, regained the throne, Whalley and Goffe were force to flee to the New England colonies aboard the ship Prudent Mary--never to see their families or England again. Even with the help of New England's Puritan elite, including Reverend John Davenport, they struggled to stay a step ahead of searches for their arrest in Boston, New Haven (where they hid out in Judges Cave) and the outpost of Hadley, Massachusetts. Forced to live as fugitives, these former major generals survived frontier adventures in seventeenth-century New England. Author Christopher Pagliuco reveals the all-but-forgotten stories of these Connecticut heroes.
Chris Pagliuco is a freelance writer who specializes in seventeenth-century colonial history. His interest in the regicides originated in his graduate studies in history at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He teaches high school history in Madison, Connecticut and serves as town historian in Essex, Connecticut and on the editorial team of Connecticut Explored, a quarterly history publication. He lives with his wife, two daughters, and two dogs in Ivoryton, Connecticut.

Let's Do Lunch! @ 95 Ocean
by Milling About in Entertainment
Tags: Nonantum Resort 95 Ocean Steve True Mark Wozny Milling About
Let's Do Lunch! visits 95 Ocean at The Nonantum Resort with Executive Chef Steve True, celebrating his 10 season, for a food and wine pairing. Food and beverage director Mark Wozny, who just returned from a trip to Italy, to shop for their extensive wine cellar, expertly matched reds and whites to compliment the delicious three-course meal.
Chef Steve, who's family is from Maine, began his love for cooking in Connecticut where he began making pizza at 15 and still uses the same recipe for his sauce today. He is a natural having never studied cooking in school; bringing his culinary creations to 95 Ocean. One such delight is Topaz; a chorizo sausage with a fresh date wrapped in apple with smoked bacon topped with a balsamic glaze where sweet, smoke and heat melt in your mouth. Their signature Lighthouse Salad has local greens, dried cranberries, walnuts, and goat cheese topped with warm crunchy onion rings right out of the oven and homemade raspberry viniagrette.
Steve deserves bragging rights for his open-faced lobster ravioli stacked napoleon style with chunks of lobster from literally down the road, where the perfect claw meat sits on top, and fresh herbs that he harvests from Nonantum's gardens.
Aside from 95 Ocean, Steve passes on his knowledge to No Kid Hungry, founded by Jeff Bridges, teaching low-income families the benefits of healthy home cooking. In the winter he teaches at Southern Maine Community College where he recruits 'young talented cooking stars' to 95 Ocean.

JON MODICO - EDUCATION THAT WORKS
by REWIRING YOUR BRAIN in Education
Tags: education support systems high stakes testing student centered teaching top down errors
Jon's passion for education grew during his time at Connecticut College where he worked with a kindergarten program for a course requirement. After becoming deeply interested in how children learn, he chose to major in Human Development and received a teaching certificate in elementary education. After he received the Louis Lacey McGarry Award for his work with children, he was motivated to work on a documentary of an afterschool program at a homeless shelter, and also pursue an independent study on bilingual education.To learn more about the great inequities in our education system, Jon pursued a master's degree in Urban Education Policy at Brown University. During his final months in the program, he found a significant disconnect between the goals of policy makers, the real effect those policies have had on schools and the services that various agencies are providing to support schools - in particular, the way schools and educators are dealing with the pressures of high stakes testing.Jon founded Nutmeg Education, LLC with the goal of helping teachers deal with these pressures in ways that can help student achievement, without using subversive teaching methods. By working closely with dozens of teachers, school leaders, students, and a team of sophisticated web developers, Jon hopes Nutmeg Education will do just that.

Forward Boldly: Interview with Fr. Paul Check, Courage
by Forward Boldly in Religion
Tags: Courage Homosexuality Catholic Church Fr Paul Check Chastity
In 2008, Fr. Harvey, now deceased, handed the leadership of the Courage apostolate over to Father Paul Check. Father Check is a former US Marine Corps captain who was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1997. He became a Courage chaplain at the request of his bishop, William Lori, in 2003, and is now assigned full-time to the Courage apostolate.
Fr. Check describes Courage with these words:
"The Courage apostolate is that maternal solicitude on the part of the Church to people who have a unique struggle, an often difficult and vexing one, and who want to know that the grace of Christ and his Cross is available to them in concrete and practical ways. This is part of the charism of Courage and what was in the mind and heart of our founder, Cardinal Cooke. It is a desire to express the Church's care and affection for a group of people who often feel isolated. I don't just say lonely, but isolated. They're uncertain about where they can find assistance, who really takes an interest in them and who has a love for them. The Church does."
