Brian Mullins.All three incidents happened on busy stretches of road in the space of about half an hour.The first incident happened at the Connecticut Commons shopping complex on New Britain Avenue in Plainville, where a man walking out of a store was shot in the leg. A few minutes later, a woman pumping gas at a service station a short distance from the shopping center was hit in the back..............
"Mom, this is Riley, this is awesome"

Severely ill child gets wish to spend time with Army Rangers
By Melissa Nelson, Associated Press Writer February 23, 2007
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --Weakened by his lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis, 14-year-old Riley Woina dreams of being strong like the war heroes he watches in movies.
The U.S. Army's 6th Ranger Training Battalion on Eglin Air Force Base recently helped him realize this unusual dream.
Susan Woina joked that her son could have taken his Plymouth, Conn., family to Walt Disney World or gone on a shopping spree through the Make-A-Wish Foundation instead of spending a week crawling in the mud with soldiers in the Florida Panhandle.
"You always want what you cannot have and he'll never be able to join the Army because of his cystic fibrosis, so of course he wants that more than anyone else would. He would join the Army today if he could," she said.
The family has no connection to the military, except through the many war movies Riley loves to watch. Inspired by his favorite movies, "Black Hawk Down" and the HBO World War II series "Band of Brothers," he researched Ranger training and learned about the 6th Ranger Training Battalion.
Riley said he couldn't think of anything better -- not even visiting a chocolate factory -- than seeing Camp James E. Rudder where Rangers face their final and most difficult training challenges.
"I knew I probably wouldn't be able to do anything like this again. They do everything down here, the swamp training, everything," he said, while eating with his new Ranger buddies in the chow hall.
And the 80-pound 14-year-old, weakened by his degenerative illness, said he doesn't feel any sympathy for the physical punishment Rangers experience for 18 days at Camp Rudder.............

Lieberman Says War Vote Could Prompt Party Switch
By: Carrie Budoff
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut told the Politico on Thursday that he has no immediate plans to switch parties but suggested that Democratic opposition to funding the war in Iraq might change his mind.
Lieberman, a self-styled independent who caucuses with the Democrats, has been among the strongest supporters of the war and President Bush’s plan to send an additional 21,500 combat troops into Iraq to help quell the violence there.........
..........Asked whether that hasn't already happened with Iraq, Lieberman said: "We will see how that plays out in the coming months," specifically how the party approaches the issue of continued funding for the war..............

Animal shelter in need

The two-year old facility is one of the largest no-kill operations in the state, and they are now looking for $87,000 in donations over the next three months or they will be forced to shut down.

whole foods is going to buy wild oats
of course i do NOT go to wild oats at bishops' corner (west hartford) because of the whole cheese 'n stuff fiasco (cheese and stuff was a cool 'natural' foods store in hartford. it had been a neighborhood mainstay for MANY years. all of a sudden wild oats came along and bought it. they SWORE up and down they WOULD NOT move that store. the FIRST thing they did was move the store from hartford to west hartford. that left MANY hartford residents with no grocery store. hartford does NOT have many grocery stores by the way. why? i don't know. they just don't. anyway, i boycotted the store). i do shop at whole foods in west hartford center. i try to go at off hours so i don't run into the 'west hartford type crowd'. if they change the wild oats in bishops' corner to a whole foods, i'll shop there as well. i've yet to get to a trader joe's. there is one in the area as well. i hear good things about that too.
Whole Foods Agrees to Buy Wild Oats; Profit Declines By Josh Fineman Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Whole Foods Market Inc., the largest U.S. natural-foods grocer, said it agreed to buy rival Wild Oats Markets Inc. for $565 million after reporting its first profit decline in five quarters. Whole Foods will pay $18.50 in cash for each share of Boulder, Colorado-based Wild Oats, 18 percent higher than its closing price today. First-quarter net income fell 7.8 percent to $53.8 million, or 38 cents a share, Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods said today. Earnings missed analysts' estimates. Buying Wild Oats will help counter slowing growth at Whole Foods, which faced competition from Safeway Inc., Trader Joe's and other grocery stores selling organic and prepared food. First-quarter sales at Whole Foods stores open at least a year rose 7 percent, down from 13 percent a year earlier. ............
Whole Foods Buying Rival
Paying $565 Million To Acquire Wild Oats
By DAVID KOENIG, Associated Press
.......Both chains have markets in Connecticut, most notably in West Hartford, where they are in direct competition. Company officials said they would evaluate which stores might close after the purchase is completed in April.
The West Hartford Wild Oats store has a special notoriety, scorned by many local shoppers for the company's role in closing a beloved local natural foods store in Hartford's West End.
On January 29, 2000, Cheese & Stuff, which had been a fixture in the West End since the mid-1970s, was closed after being bought by Wild Oats, despite promises to the contrary.
David Barrett, president of the West End Civic Association, greeted news of Wild Oats' buyout with a sense of justice and some glee......

keep your fingers crossed
this bill passes. being a circus elephant (or ANY circus animal for that matter) is NOT a good thing. they ARE tortured as a rule. i will not attend any circus that has animals. i made that decision YEARS ago and i will stick to it
Bill would protect circus elephants
(Hartford-AP) _ There's another debate at the state Capitol on protecting circus elephants.
Democratic Representatives Stephen Fontana of North Haven and Diana Urban of North Stonington have introduced a bill that would make it illegal to use or possess a bullhook or chains while in the presence of an elephant.
Fontana says weapons of torture are being used to train and discipline elephants for the public's amusement. ..........

the way ducks and geese are force fed so some of us can 'enjoy' foie gras. i am all for the ban. no one is going to live a less fullfilling life if they don't get any

Foie gras debate evokes passionate discussions
EDWARD J. CROWDER ecrowder@ctpost.com
Chef/owner Etienne Menozzi of Saint Tropez Bistro Francais in Fairfield makes it look easy. A few moments on a hot pan, a deft flip and — voila! — perfectly seared duck foie gras. All that's left is to drizzle on a tarragon-port wine reduction sauce and add a tomato garnish.
OK. Nothing's that simple in French cuisine, and foie gras is getting, well, complicated — and not just because it takes a pro like Menozzi to keep it from melting like butter in the pan.
Although foie gras is available by request at Saint Tropez, this famous delicacy is no longer on the menu.
"The customers got mad because we used to sell it," said Menozzi, who has limited English and spoke through an interpreter. "Now the customers get mad because we don't sell it."..........
............Now the state may weigh in.
A bill before the Legislative Environment Committee would ban the sale of foie gras in Connecticut. The committee has scheduled a public hearing today at 10: 15 a.m. in Room 2E of the Legislative Office Building.
Similar bans have been enacted in the city of Chicago and the state of California, although the latter won't take effect until 2012. A New Jersey state lawmaker has proposed a similar ban, as has a New York City councilman.............

Family Invested In Police K-9

Piecemakers Guild crazy for quilts
GENEVIEVE REILLY greilly@ctpost.com
BRIDGEPORT — Peggy Clinkscales picked up fabric scraps here and there, and stuffed them into a plastic grocery bag.
"Someone's going to make a quilt out of the scraps," Clinkscales said, as she picked her way through the orange snakes of extension cords that wound around the floor of the basement room at North Park Baptist Church last week.
The dozens of sewing machines lining the long tables were humming.
Some were the latest in sewing technology, with computerized stitching. Others were the highly prized Singer Featherweights — very portable as the name suggests — no longer made and selling for a premium on Ebay.
It was mid-afternoon and the leftover slices of pizza and brownies were off to the side.
Members of the Connecticut Piecemakers Quilt Guild, more than 50 of them, were back to concentrating on the task at hand — making comfort quilts for children at Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camp.
Working in groups of three and four, the quilters pieced the materials together in either a Skewed Friendship Star or Skewed Style Log Cabin patterns.
"We're going to finish today," said Debbie Wilson of Trumbull. "We're working on the binding right now."
Her group, which included Pat Ruhanen of Stratford and Barbara Peterson of New Haven, used their scraps to piece together the binding that would wind around the quilt's edges, holding the top, batting and back together............

thank you shawn and jen and al
on sunday, the half door had it's christmas party at peppercorn's grill on main street in hartford. the wines and liquors were beyond excellent (i had some homemade lemoncello - wow!!!) . the food was beyond excellent (you ordered WAY WAY WAY too much shawn). the service was beyond excellent. a GRAND time was had by all.
i'd like to thank all, especially shawn for inviting me and making me a part of the family.
the half door is indeed a special place. a place where neighborhood peeps can mingle with politicians. lawyers can mingle with students from law school. the elderly can mingle with the young. the staff goes out of their way to make one feel at home. that is why i like it so very much. it IS so comfortable to be there (and i do NOT feel comfortable many places)

i don't care if there are currently
any internet hunting sites or not. I WANT THEM BANNED

Texas man's idea for internet hunting spawns laws instead
By Stephen Singer, Associated Press Writer February 18, 2007
HARTFORD, Conn. --A Texas businessman who wanted to allow computer users to hunt from the comfort of their homes has instead spawned dozens of state laws banning the practice.
Texas lawmakers shut down San Antonio businessman John Lockwood's operation in 2005 and two dozen other states have since banned Internet hunting, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
Connecticut lawmakers are now considering whether to follow suit and ban state residents from using a computer mouse to point, click and kill penned animals herded before a Web-based camera.
Though Lockwood's operation has been shut down and lawmakers don't know of any others, backers of the bill say they want to prevent even the possibility of another such Internet venture.
"It's not a big problem that we know of," said state Sen. Bill Finch, D-Bridgeport and co-chairman of the General Assembly's Environment Committee. "We want to nip it in the bud. It's a pretty gruesome practice."
The bill would forbid the operation, sale or use of computer software or service that allows a hunter "when not physically present, to remotely control a firearm or weapon to hunt a live animal or bird.".............
