subclass of English Reformed Protestants
Puritanism originated as a Protestant response to Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism. The word now generally denotes strict religious discipline and opposition to social pleasures.

- The fact is, there were all kinds of Puritans. There were dismal precisians, like William Prynne, illiberal and vulgar fanatics, the Tribulation Wholesomes, Hope-on-high Bombys, and Zeal-of-the-land Busys, whose absurdities were the stock in trade of contemporary satirists from Johnson to Butler. But there were also gentlemen and scholars, like Fairfax, Marvell, Colonel Hutchinson, Vane, whose Puritanism was consistent with all elegant tastes and accomplishments. Was Milton's Puritanism hurtful to his art? No and yes. It was in many ways an inspiration; it gave him zeal, a Puritan word much ridiculed by the Royalists; it gave refinement, distinction, selectness, elevation to his picture of the world. But it would be uncritical to deny that it also gave a certain narrowness and rigidity to his view of human life.
- Henry A. Beers "Milton's Tercentenary", in The Connecticut Wits and Other Essays (1920), p. 230.
- The much-ballyhooed arrival of the Pilgrims and Puritans in New England in the early 1600s was indeed a response to persecution that these religious dissenters had experienced in England. But the Puritan fathers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony did not countenance tolerance of opposing religious views. Their "city upon a hill" was a theocracy that brooked no dissent, religious or political.
The most famous dissidents within the Puritan community, Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, were banished following disagreements over theology and policy. From Puritan Boston's earliest days, Catholics ("Papists") were anathema and were banned from the colonies, along with other non-Puritans. Four Quakers were hanged in Boston between 1659 and 1661 for persistently returning to the city to stand up for their beliefs.
- Kenneth C. Davis, "America's True History of Religious Tolerance", Smithsonian Magazine, (October 2010). "America's True History of Religious Tolerance", Smithsonian Magazine, (October 2010 ).
- The Puritans in New England were not immediately presented with an Indian problem, for diseases introduced earlier by trading ships along the coast had badly decimated the Indian population. Yet when the Pequots resisted the migration of settlers into the Connecticut Valley in 1637, a party of Puritans surrounded the Pequot village and set fire to it. About five hundred Indians were burned to death or shot while trying to escape; the Whites devoutly offered up thanks to God that they had lost only two men. The woods were then combed for any Pequots who had managed to survive, and these were sold into slavery. Cotton Mather was grateful to the Lord that "on this day we have sent six hundred heathen souls to hell."
- Peter Farb, Man's Rise to Civilization (1968)
- It is the night-black Massachusetts legendry which packs the really macabre 'kick', Here is the material for a really profound study in group neuroticism; for certainly, no one can deny the existence of a profoundly morbid streak in the Puritan imagination....The very pre-ponderance of passionately pious men in the colony was virtually an assurance of unnatural crime; insomuch as psychology now proves the religious instinct to be a form of transmuted eroticism precisely parallel to the transmutations in other directions which respectively produce such things as sadism, hallucination, melancholia, and other mental morbidities. Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. This was aggravated, of course, by the Puritan policy of rigorously suppressing all the natural outlets of excuberant feeling--music, laughter, colour, pageantry, and so on. To observe Christmas Day was once a prison offence....
- The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators.
- Thomas Macaulay, History of England (1849-1861), Volume I, chapter 3.
- Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

Fable Legends Is Being Designed Using The 'Games As Service' Model
Lionhead Studios has revealed that its upcoming Xbox One title, Fable Legends, will be a bigger departure for the series than we originally thought. Unlike the three core games in the series, which premiered on Xbox and continued on Xbox 360, Legends is being developed as a platform rather than a traditional experience.
"That's the nature of games as a service – you keep adding systems and features and content," Lionhead studio chief John Needham told Edge. When asked about the game's business model, Needham says that the business model hasn't yet been discussed."
This could mean free-to-play, subscription, or a traditional price point with extensive microtransactions. The concept marks a shift for the studio and the franchise.
For more on Fable Legends, check out our preview from Gamescom 2013. For more from John Needham, check out the Edge interview, which has more information on the design considerations being incorporated into Fable Legends.

Our Take
I really liked what I saw of Fable Legends at Gamescom, but I know my interest will nosedive in a free-to-play or subscription environment. A Defiance-like retail with a la carte add-ons might be a reasonable fit that won't alienate those of us who know that there are really very few true "free" free-to-play experiences.

Shopping for Bar Mitzvah Invitiations
Just met with a very nice "invitation lady" and started this process for the third time. This is for my 3rd son, Mike, whose Bar Mitzvah is on June 3. I was pretty surprised when I pulled up in her driveway for 2 reasons:
1) For our last Bar Mitzvah (Harry), we did them ourselves. But since I feel like my computer is attached to me I saw no reason to add more time in front of it. What a luxury to have someone else take care of this!
2) It's so early (for me)! Seeing that I like to wait to almost the last minute for just about everything, I was just surprised that I started on time! Just imagine how good I'd be at this if I have a few more kids (not).
So here's a picture of the invitation that I like, guaranteed my husband and son will not approve (why even bother showing Mike?? Why have that power at 12 years old?)
I wrote an article for my website about planning a Bar Mitzvah. That was back in 2003. Let's see if I can follow my own advice! Stay tuned to find out!
