For Example: A Player has purchased €100 and received a bonus of €100, therefore has a total balance of €200. The Player has decided to play slots only, therefore, the Player must stake (wager) 25 X €100 = €2,500 before the bonus is converted into cash and eligible for withdrawal.

Fujifilm XQ2 Bridge Camera Review: A Good Bargain
The XQ2 is a high-quality compact camera for the money, and has lots of controls and easy-to-use Wi-Fi, but it struggles a bit in low light.

The Fujifilm XQ2 offers a solid bargain in the bridge (high-performance compact) camera market. The $349 price tag is enticing, given the features and capabilities of this small shooter. Manual controls and customizable buttons give you the ability to grow beyond just pointing and clicking, and its built-in flash is quite powerful.
Overall, the XQ2 produces attractive photos and videos, and offers a nice assortment of filters and film simulation modes for subtle color variations. But it's not an excellent camera for low-light or action photography. It's best suited for someone upgrading from a simple point-and-shoot than for a more advanced photographer.
Image Quality: Good In Daylight
The Fujifilm XQ2 takes high-quality photos in plenty of situations. In general, exposures were accurate and colors looked vivid in my test shots, without going overboard and looking unrealistic. Most of my photos looked very sharp, but I would not say they are among the sharpest I've seen from cameras in this class (see review of the Canon G7 X, for example).
This photo of a boy running on the beach illustrates the high-quality images the XQ2 can capture in bright daylight. I like the detail, the colors and the camera's ability to focus on my moving subject and freeze the action. I also like the wide angle (25mm equivalent) of the lens, as it's able to capture a broad landscape.
(Image credit: ISO 100, f4.5, 1/850 sec. | Credit: Eric Butterfield)
This shot also illustrates the slight distortion of the lens at wide angle (the boy's head looks slightly stretched), but that's to be expected at the extreme wide end. On the whole, this is a solid lens with no obvious drop-off in detail or significant distortion at the edges of images (a common problem with wide angle on zoom lenses), as long as you're in bright light.
MORE: Best Bridge Cameras
The XQ2 took very handsome exposures in overcast conditions, where some cameras find it difficult not to underexpose. Under overcast skies on a wind farm, the XQ2 created images that popped, capturing the true color of the landscape and the various subtle contrasting shades in the clouds.
(Image credit: ISO 100, f/4, 1/280 sec. | Credit: Eric Butterfield )
The XQ2 takes very attractive macro shots — as close as 1.1 inches at wide angle. I really liked the detail of small objects I could capture up close, as you can see in this image of sidewalk chalk.
Using the flash in backlit conditions, the XQ2 took good-looking portraits in moderate to bright light. Even without the flash and with light behind my subjects, I often got accurate exposures, as long as the camera did not have to push its light sensitivity setting (ISO) to 800 or above. The XQ2 also missed the mark and underexposed people on occasion.
(Image credit: ISO 200, f/3.6, 1/250 sec. | Credit: Eric Butterfield)
Though the zoom magnification is a modest 4x, I found the range very usable. But if you shoot often in big places like a sports stadium, where your subject is far away, you will find the low magnification limiting. If you need a longer lens, check out our review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS45, a pocket camera with an impressive 20x zoom lens.
The lens performed very well, offering a generous maximum aperture of f/1.8 for shooting in low light. The lens's optical image stabilization appeared to do a good job of preventing slow shutter speeds from blurring my photos.
Low Light: Battling Digital Noise
I found the XQ2's results to be much less attractive in low light, when the camera used a high ISO setting. In early-evening shade, the XQ2 had difficulty producing sharp shots. Photos taken at ISO 1600 and above were particularly grainy, or noisy; this one was taken with the flash, yet the camera chose an ISO of 2000. Notice the lack of detail in the faces and the grainy appearance overall.

This nighttime photo is typical of what I got from the XQ2 in low light. Notice the grainy appearance, particularly along the red rain gutter near the top of the frame. Also note the rounding effect of barrel distortion approaching the edges of the frame, visible in the false curve of the rain gutter. The RAW file of this same photo looked just as grainy, so I don't attribute this to poor RAW-to-JPEG conversion.

Some indoor shots looked grainier even though they were shot at a lower ISO setting. For example, in a room with a couple of light bulbs on, the photos showed very little noise. But in very low light, where the flash was the primary light source, shots taken at a modest ISO 800 looked quite noisy. Unlike other JPEGs and RAW files I compared, this JPEG does look substantially different from the RAW file, suffering from blotches that don't appear in the RAW file.

Video Quality: Pretty Smooth
The XQ2 records full-HD 1080p video at 60 frames per second or 30 fps, and can record at both frame rates in 720p as well. Video quality was very good, but I would not call this Fujifilm the sharpest camera in its class.
This video shows the XQ2 at its best, with bright colors and sharp focus. Footage looked smooth, and the autofocus was accurate, though changes in focal distance as the subject moved — during panning shots or while zooming — sometimes caused slight lapses in the autofocus.

The built-in microphone is very susceptible to wind noise. At the beach, it was definitely windy, and I was not surprised by the whooshing sound in the audio. But even in a slight breeze, I was disappointed that a lot of wind noise ended up in the audio. There is no external mic jack for plugging in a better microphone.
In our tests, shot at 1080/60p, video looked fairly smooth, though audio was very susceptible to wind noise, and the zoom motor was audible.
Similar to my experience taking photos, the XQ2's autofocus had a difficult time in low light while recording video.
Video recorded at night at 1080/60p suffered from a lot of graininess — there was digital noise dancing around in flat areas, making the footage unattractive.
Iffy Autofocus But Fast Burst Shooting
The XQ2 is touted for its use of both contrast-detection and phase-detection autofocus. In theory, you'd think this would be the best of both worlds. But I'm not sure it is. Many of my photos of fast action, taken with continuous AF, turned out with a blurry subject. In low light, the autofocus had a tendency to flash its red "unable to focus" indicator.
This was also true when a low-contrast subject was in the AF box, such as a distant cloud in a blue afternoon sky. (I had to position the AF area on terra firma.) I found that the inability to focus happened more frequently with the XQ2 than with other comparable cameras.
MORE: Autofocus Is the New Megapixel
Although the Tracking AF mode mostly kept up with my subject on the LCD preview and produced some sharp shots, this mode is not available for burst shooting. Speaking of burst shooting, you get very fast speeds with the XQ2, as long as you stick to capturing JPEGs only. The camera offers three speeds for RAW or JPEG+RAW shooting, and four speeds (adding a "superhigh" speed) for JPEG-only bursts.
The superhigh setting is rated at 12 fps. In my tests, I recorded at 10 fps for 1 second. After that, the camera slowed down to a modest 3.6 fps over the next 7 seconds. Similarly, the high speed (rated at 9 fps) shot at 7 fps for 1 second and then slowed. Still, over the course of 45 shots, the Fujifilm averaged an impressive 4 fps.
You won't get the same speeds in JPEG+RAW continuous shooting. The fastest speed I achieved was 4.2 fps, and that was for just 2 seconds before the camera slowed. It takes a little time for the XQ2 to clear its buffer so you can resume burst shooting at maximum speed. I found that it usually took about 10 seconds for the indicator light to turn green and the camera to be ready to resume.
Design: Adequate But Not Elegant
The XQ2 is compact and weighs a modest 7.3 ounces with the memory card installed. At 3.9 x 2.3 x 1.3 inches, it is slightly smaller than the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS45 and weighs roughly 1.5 ounces less. Still, the thickness makes it a little uncomfortable to carry in a shirt or pants pocket, though the otherwise small dimensions and light weight make it a very comfortable companion in a coat pocket.
The body is plastic but feels pretty sturdy; the textured front panel and rubberized thumb pad on the back help you keep a firm grip during one-handed operation.
The 3-inch LCD is bright and sharp. (Fujifilm declined to provide the pixel resolution, but it appears to be 640 x 480.) The screen does not hinge outward for framing shots at obscure angles or to help you frame selfies. It is not a touch screen, so button navigation is necessary.
MORE: DSLR vs. Mirrorless Cameras: Which Is Better for You?
There is no electronic viewfinder, which can be handy when bright sunlight makes it difficult to see an LCD, but we wouldn't necessarily expect one at this price.
The small pop-up flash is powerful for its size; it's able to illuminate a small room. It is rated for a range of 24 feet with the lens at wide angle, but I would estimate the usable range to be closer to 15 feet. There is no hot shoe for attaching an external flash.
Controls: Handy But Not Elegant
The XQ2's button layout is handy; everything on the back panel is easy to reach with your thumb. The thumb dial is small, however, and I found it difficult to turn comfortably. Applying extra pressure caused accidental menu selections because the dial doubles as a four-position button. To avoid this, I had to poke my thumbnail into the dial's ridges while turning it.
Because the buttons are small and very close to the thumb dial, they can be a little difficult to operate. In particular, the video record button is recessed to prevent accidental movie making, but you'll have to angle your digit over the nearby thumb dial — or hold the camera with two hands — to press it firmly.
The control ring around the lens is programmable. By default, it serves various purposes, depending on the shooting mode. In aperture-priority mode, for example, it changes the aperture setting. When the mode dial is set to SP (scene position), the dial quickly changes the scene mode. In Program mode, however, it does nothing by default. If you change it to operate the zoom in the E-Fn menu, it will do this for all modes. (You can't customize its function based on the shooting mode.) In playback mode, it changes the information view, which is handy for inspecting the camera settings used.
The E-Fn button doubles the number of functions on the four-way control. (You can change the E-Fn functions in the shooting menu.) When you press the E-Fn button, a labeled graphic of the four-way appears on screen, indicating the function of each position, as well as the lens ring. One quibble, however: If you turn the four-way dial slightly while trying to press one of the E-Fn positions, the camera thinks you're trying to change the function of the zoom ring, and pulls up the menu.
Wireless: Easy Mobile Sharing
Android and iOS devices running Fujifilm's free Camera app can receive files from the XQ2 for viewing or online posting. I found the setup easy for my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Android phone. Getting the devices to communicate and transfer images was simple. However, this app does not allow you to operate the camera remotely.
MORE: Best Pocket-Sized Cameras
To transfer files to a PC, you must install the Auto Backup software on the computer. I did not find the setup easy. When I used the simple method of pressing the WPS button on my wireless router, the XQ2 did not join my Wi-Fi network. When I used manual setup to pull up a list of available networks, the camera was unable to find my Wi-Fi router. The software's instructions for performing the setup were laborious and unintuitive for either my Windows Vista laptop or Mac running OS 10.7 (both operating systems are supported).
Battery Life: Way Better Than Advertised
The XQ2 doesn't boast the most impressive battery life spec. It's rated by CIPA to record just 240 frames on a charge. But that assumes half of the photos are shot with flash. In my testing, the camera performed much better.
Using a fair amount of burst mode and a modest amount of flash, and performing very little other battery-draining activity (Wi-Fi transfers or playback on the bright LCD), I recorded roughly 1,000 stills and a handful of short videos on a single charge. (To be exact, 1,038 photos plus three short videos on the first charge, and 926 photos and 15 short videos on the second charge). That's enough for a whole weekend of intense shooting.
The reasonably priced XQ2 has a lot to offer photographers with modest needs. If you have outgrown a point-and-shoot camera but aren't willing to go beyond a P&S budget and size, this camera's features and advanced controls could deliver the more advanced experience you're looking for.
The tiny buttons and somewhat clunky thumb dial do hamper navigation, however.
If you don't often shoot in very low light or photograph fast-paced action, you can avoid the XQ2's graininess issue and its less-than-lightning-quick autofocus. You could step up to a camera like the Canon GX 7 to get all-around excellent image quality, but you'll have to pay more than twice the price of the XQ2.

CONTRACT NEWS: Munster Rugby and the IRFU confirmed that Head Coach Johann van Graan has extended his contract for a further two years, and will remain with the province until June 2022.
Leaving his role as the Springboks forwards coach, van Graan and family made the move to Limerick in November 2017. His impact was immediate as he and the coaching staff of Jerry Flannery, Felix Jones and JP Ferreira guided the squad to the semi-final stages of the Champions Cup and PRO14 last season.
Commenting on the news Munster Rugby Acting CEO Philip Quinn said, "We are delighted Johann has committed his future to the province. There was a significant amount of interest from other clubs so it was always going to be a challenge to retain the services of a coach of Johann's calibre.
"However, Johann is fully committed to Munster Rugby and I believe it is a statement of intent from the province that we have finalised this deal.
"Johann brought with him a wealth of experience and a track record with the  Springboks and the Bulls in Super Rugby. He has put his own stamp on this squad over the past 18 months and has enhanced the Munster environment further.
Head Coach Johann van Graan added, "I am very happy and grateful to be in this position, knowing that I can continue to work with this incredible group of people and play my part in shaping Munster's future. Coming to Munster I wanted to become part of the community, and every day I get to experience that sense of belonging with my family and I settling in from the very beginning.


Tennis is one of the healthiest sports you can play, but that doesn't mean there aren't risks. Dr. Sanj Kakar, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic hand and wrist surgeon, says tennis can be quite rough on the wrists.
Please "Courtesy: Mayo Clinic News Network." Read the script.
Studies show playing tennis is one of the healthiest things you can do. It's good for you heart and brain, and can even help you live longer. But it also can be quite rough on your wrists.
"We see a lot of tennis injuries, especially in younger patients," Dr. Kakar says.
He says there are two main causes of most tennis wrist injuries.
"Some are poor mechanics," he says. "Some have the wrong equipment."
Dr. Kakar says it's common for young children to have wrist injuries from using racquets and tennis balls that are too big or heavy for them. More commonly for adults, injuries come from mechanics issues.
"One of the most common [injuries] that we see, especially with the double-handed backhand or the single-handed backhand, is injury to the ulnar side of wrist," he says.
A bad swing can put too much pressure on certain ligaments, causing significant pain and soreness.
Treatment can range from simple rest, to hand and physical therapy, to corticosteroid injections to — in the worst cases — surgery.
But he says your best option is to avoid injuries in the first place.
"That means taking lessons with a licensed professional about how to, for example, serve, hit certain shots in a particular way with correct technique," Dr. Kakar says. "I think that's first and foremost. [Also,] having the correct equipment."

One thing I was wrong about however is two pounds of weight as the threshold for what's light enough. After using my 1.8-pound Surface Pro 3 for a while, I'm sad to conclude it's just a bit too heavy as a tablet.
What is the right threshold is of course subjective, but for me, the Surface 2 at 1.5 pounds is good enough. It gives the tablet a whimsy the heavier Surface Pro 3 cannot provide.
Apple is famous for launching new products only when they feel are ready. Is it an accident then that the original iPad debuted at 1.5 pounds?
I would be disappointed if the iPad Air Pro weighs more than that.
The future of computing is >13-inch tablets with <1.5 pounds in weight. Plus a keyboard accessory.

Media Watch: Christian Pulisic impresses despite Borussia Dortmund defeat, Malmo manager enjoyed Chelsea loss at Man City
In our look at the latest Chelsea-related news stories from the media, Christian Pulisic made a strong impression during Borussia Dortmund's Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur, Malmo manager Uwe Rosler admits he was 'delighted' with Manchester City's big win against the Blues and a round-up of the latest transfer gossip involving the Blues.
These stories are samples pulled from external media sources. They do not represent the views or position of Chelsea Football Club.
Pulisic makes his mark in Dortmund loss
Borussia Dortmund may have been beaten in their Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley but Christian Pulisic did much to impress Chelsea fans ahead of his move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Pulisic started the game for the German side and caused plenty of problems for the Spurs defence in a goalless first half, particularly wing-back Serge Aurier, who received an early yellow card for a foul on the young American winger.
While Dortmund conceded three goals in the second half to leave them with an uphill task for the second leg, The Daily Mail tipped Pulisic for a bright future with the Blues stating that he 'is the type of player who will get supporters off of their seats.
'Indeed, every time Juan Foyth's pocket was picked, every time Aurier was left trailing in his wake, there would have been a quiet shrill of delight from residents of the Shed End,' their report continued.
'After moving to Germany at 16 as America's great hope, the kid from Hershey, Pennsylvania, won't be taken aback by the weight of expectation.
'And on tonight's showing, he's proved he is capable - in spells - of influencing games at the highest level.
'With the right coaching he will become more consistent, and that will make him worth of every penny.'
Rosler 'delighted' with City win
Speaking ahead of his team's Europa League clash against Chelsea tonight Malmo manager Uwe Rosler revealed that he was delighted with the Blues' 6-0 defeat at Manchester City last weekend.
The German, who once played as a striker for City, admitted that he still feels a connection with his former club.
'It's no secret, my connection and feelings for Manchester City. It was a delight to watch that game,' said Rosler, as reported by Goal.com.
When asked about his side's chances against Chelsea, the German added: 'I don't think we can take Chelsea on toe-to-toe in an open game. They can make it very difficult for a team like us with their pressing.
'So it's important we impress in the right areas, knowing where they will press us and how we can get out of their press. I think we will get opportunities.
'The mindset tomorrow is "no respect". We have to play and be aggressive with and without the ball.
'We have a plan. With a bit of luck and some outstanding performances, we have an outside chance of getting a result.'
Blues linked with Wan-Bissaka and Icardi in transfer gossip
The transfer window may have closed at the end of last month but there is no shortage of rumours regarding the Blues in the media.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund are weighing up summer bids for Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The Sun reports that there is interest in forward Mauro Icardi after the Argentinian striker was stripped of the captaincy of Inter Milan.
And The Sun is also linking Ivan Rakitic with the Blues once again after they revealed that Barcelona have no plans to renew the Croatian midfielder's contract.

The '''New Testament''' is a collection of ancient writings put together by Christians who believed them to accurately describe the foundation of their religion. Which specific writings should be viewed as canon was a matter of great debate in the early days of Christianity, and it took several centuries before most denominations agreed on a single set of 27 writings. However, as most New Testament scholars now point out, a large portion of these writings are thought to have been modified from their original form, or, in several cases, completely fraudulent.
The '''New Testament''' is a collection of ancient writings put together by [[Christianity|Christians]] who believed them to accurately describe the foundation of their religion. Which specific writings should be viewed as canon was a matter of great debate in the early days of Christianity, and it took several centuries before most denominations agreed on a single set of 27 writings. However, as most New Testament scholars now point out, a large portion of these writings have been modified from their original form, or, with several books, are entirely fraudulent.
==Canon==
===Standard List===
In 382 CE, after a couple centuries of growth, the Christian church convened at the Council of Rome where officials, after much debate, agreed upon 27 writings to be considered their official list (known as the "canon"), however, Eastern Christians, who would later broke away to form the Eastern Orthodox, didn't agree on their own canon until 692. Catholics would later reaffirm their canon at the Council of Trent of 1545. The Church of England agreed on their canon in 1563, and Calvinists in 1647. While each of these groups may disagree on the books of the [[Old Testamen]], they all agree on the same books of the New Testament. Only some of the less-popular denominations disagree on the 27 books of the New Testament canon which are:

Only some of the less-popular denominations disagree on the 27 books of the New Testament canon which are:

The following writings have been considered for canonization by some Christian groups, and even viewed as canon by a minority of Christians. However, most Christians view them as apocryphal or pseudographical:
===Canon===
Some of the canon also cite books that have been excluded from most Christian canons. The [[Epistle of Jude]] references two non-canonical books, the [[Assumption of Moses]] and the [[Book of Enoch]]. The [[Second Epistle to Timothy]] references [[The Apocryphon of Jannes and Jambres the Magicians]].
===Authorship===
===Content===
We should expect a book inspired by a god to be rife with deep philosophical wisdom, full of inexplicable insight to the very foundations of the universe, and written in the most captivating way possible, but the actual content of the books of the New Testament is unimpressive. Rather than deep moral insight, authors endlessly repeat tautologies saying bad actions are bad and good actions are good. Instead of complex political science, the authors praise blind authoritarianism and fail to speak out against slavery, racism, or sexism. No secrets of the universe are revealed, instead the book is filled with the conventional wisdom of the time, much of which has long since been discovered to be wrong. The book is far from gripping, in fact, most Christians who begin reading it quickly abandon it because the books are so poorly written.
===Redaction===
In addition to the [[Synoptic problem]] and its various possible solutions like the [[two-source hypothesis]], the bulk of the books in the New Testament show signs of redaction, modification, editing, etc. Part of this is because none of the early sources are identical and a choice had to be made on which one to treat as canon, tampering for political benefit has also been suggested by a number of scholars. For example, the ''Comma Johanneum'' in the [[First Epistle of John]].
In addition to the [[Synoptic problem]] and its various possible solutions like the [[two-source hypothesis]], the bulk of the books in the New Testament show signs of redaction, modification, editing, etc. like the three different endings to the [[Gospel of Mark]], Jesus and the adulterous woman in the [[Gospel of John]]. Tampering for political and theological benefit has also been suggested by a number of scholars regarding edits like the ''Comma Johanneum'' in the [[First Epistle of John]]. Part of this problems comes from the fact that early Christians felt compelled to set a permanent canon into place long before all potential manuscripts had been properly researched and vetted, or even discovered.

BLUES BEAT: Big doings this weekend in blues scene
DOMENIC FORCELLA
Published 12:00 am EDT, Friday, June 17, 2011
Larry Willey and the Bluestalkers are playing at the Gary Bull Memorial Concert. (Submitted photo)
There are some big doings in the state blues scene this week. Festivals, concerts and some highly anticipated acts make for a bevy of choices.
Saturday, the friends of Gary Bull will be holding a concert to remember him and as a benefit for his family. It is a five band show at the Hannon-Hatch VFW Post South Street West Hartford. The show starts at 2 pm and runs to 6 pm.
Bull passed away recently and left a big footprint on the state's music scene. He promoted concerts, ran river boat cruises, along with being a good friend to local musicians, a chef and restaurateur.
Stepping forward to be part of the benefit are River City Slim & the Zydeco Hogs, Larry Willey & the Bluestalkers, The D. Smith Blues Band, King Cake, and The Patty Tuite Band.
Expect food, drink and lots of dancing. Bull always made a gathering better and holding an event in his memory is an appropriate way to remember him. Proceeds from the night will go to Bull's family to help with the funeral expenses.
Online directions are at: www.vfw9929.org.
Also on Saturday, The New England Jazz & Blues Festival begins at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury.
For blues some big names will be appearing include James Cotton, James Montgomery & the Uptown Horns and Kal David & the Real Deal. Sunday, the Festival continues with more blues and jazz.
Blues includes The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Elvin Bishop, and Roomful of Blues. Besides the blues acts a number of jazz acts will be on the bill. For more information: www.newenglandjazzbluesfestival.com.
Several surprises are planned for the Festival including special numbers (Hall of Fame Stuff) where different artists will combine to play a legendary song. Price includes the show, rides and parking.
Monday, Robert Cray comes into Infinity Music Hall. The five-time Grammy Award winner keeps his performance moving smoothly.
When he plays, it is hard to put in a category. His youth brought new life to the blues. Blues is the foundation of his music, but not all they play. Cray provides a little rock, soul, jazz, blues, a little gospel feel. For the trivia fan, Cray had a role in the movie, Animal House.
Tab Benoit will spend Thursday at the Fairfield Theater Co.'s Stage One. He is a combination of both Louisiana swamp and Chicago blues. Pretty much born and raised in the Bayou. He absorbed the region's culture. He grew up hanging out where the blues was played in Baton Rouge. Benoit is one of the most passionate and focused blues guitarists on the circuit today and with such a fast playing style.
Going beyond the music, Benoit works hard to save the land that birthed his blues by raising awareness of the receding wetlands all over Louisiana, with his "Voice of the Wetlands" organization.
Besides playing at Quassy, Kal David & the Real Deal have a Friday date at Black-eyed Sally's. The former "Bluesbreaker" and "Fabulous Rhinestone" has a special place for Connecticut. Nobody can play guitar like David.
Saturday, Johnny Childs comes to Sally's. He produced a film that gives inside look at the trials and tribulations of a determined blues artist trying to "make it" in the unforgiving world of the music business as well as presents a life-story that needs to be seen to be believed.
Some out of the club gigs are also keeping the blues busy.
Friday, Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez add The Sin Sisters for The Branford Festival, 8:30 pm on the Town Green.
Saturday, Dan Stevens plays the Arts Walk at Rowayton Arts Center from 5 to 7:30 pm.
Eran Troy Danner is at the Southbury Concert Series on Tuesday from 6:30 to-8:30 pm.
Otis & the Hurricanes are spending Wednesday at the WAVENY Summer Music Series at Waveny Park, New Canaan.
The Kathy Thompson Band plays in Wednesday's Southington Music on the Green.
Friday, Jeff Pitchell & Texas Flood return to The Hungry Tiger. His star continues to rise, growing into one of the most exciting singer/songwriters in the business. He is currently touring with Rock Legend J. Geils and has shared the stage with many music greats.
The Tiger has an interesting show on Saturday, actually two Shows. The blues will be seen in J.J. Diamond. A mix of rock and Blues with an excellent Lady singer and all around solid Band with lots of fun music. The second show has The New Remains.
Friday is a busy night for blues bands. D. Smith & Friends will be at The Cookhouse Tavern in New Milford. The Steve Polezonis Trio travels to The Baci Grill and Brandt Taylor hits a nes spot in Simsbury, Papachelli's. At the Ridgefield Theater on Friday, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes will be playing.
Saturday, Eran Troy Danner is at Greenwood's Grille & Ale House in Bethel.
The Paul Gabriel Trio are back at one of their favorite spots Lucky Lou's and Brandt Taylor takes his show to P. Sam's in Torrington, On Wednesday,Taylor will make his way to The Hessian Lion.
On Sunday the Griswold Inn has Basically Blues Band's small Band. Fred's Brickhouse Pizza has a Sunday Gospel Bruch from Noon - 2 pm.
Across the border in Rhode Island, The Knickerbocker Cafe has a Friday show featuring Johnny & the East Coast Rockers. Jimmie Vaughan and Lou Ann Barton take over Saturday
Up at Theodores' Saturday night has Crosseyed Cat

A letter from Mr. Sutton
Dear Parents, Friends and Supporters,
It is a tremendous privilege to welcome you all to the 2018-2019 school year!
I cannot adequately put into words how excited I am for this school year. This summer has been filled with meaningful learning for my leadership team and I as we prepare to lead Rowe to our best year yet.
At Rowe, college success is the ultimate outcome for every scholar, that means the work scholars are doing every single day must reflect that, and we must all embrace the productive struggle that comes with that.
Through my 3 years as principal at Rowe, I've learned and grown so much as a person, as an educator, and as a leader. There have been so many wonderful moments that have affirmed what an honor it is to call Rowe home, and there have been moments that have challenged me to get better. I embrace both experiences with the same growth mindset: learn from it and get better.
My promise to you all is that we will continue to learn and continue to get better. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Mr. Tony Sutton Jr.
Born in Chicago, IL, Mr. Sutton has worked in the education field since his graduation from Hampton University in 2005.
After completing his commitment to Teach for America in Charlotte, NC, he spent time recruiting talent for Teach for America in the mid-Atlantic region. Mr. Sutton moved to Washington, D.C. where he continued his impact in the education sector as a Dean of School Culture at Potomac Lighthouse Public Charter School. Utilizing his experience in school culture, Mr. Sutton transitioned to DC Prep as a Founding Assistant Principal and Dean of Student Support.
In 2015, Mr. Sutton joined the Rowe Elementary School family.

Shocking Footage Shows Diver Screaming for Help While Being Attacked by Shark
YouTube: Shocking Moments In The World
by Aurora Starchild January 16, 2023, 2:00 pm 10.8k Views 0 Votes
A 30-year-old man was attacked by a Mako shark while spearfishing off the coast of Florida. Chad Patti had just emerged from a dive when the shark bit his fin. His GoPro happened to capture the incident and the footage is terrifying.
GoPro Footage Shows Man Headed Towards Boat When the Shark Attacked
Chad Patti and his friend Josh Loucks were about 70 miles off the Pensacola Coast on New Year's Day when the Mako shark attacked. Patti told the Pensacola News Journal that he was about to ask Loucks a question when the 10-foot Mako shark surprised him.
"At the point where the video picks up, I'm recovering from the dive, doing what they call recovery breathing," he said. "I was just about to ask if we were doing another drift. I got 'are' out of my mouth when it hit me from the back right corner."
If it weren't for the Jaws-like music playing on the video, it just seems like any day out at sea. But suddenly, as Patti is attacked, the camera looks down and the shark flees. However, Patti thought he'd lost a limb.
"It basically shoved my knee to my chest, almost knocked the wind out of me, knocked my gun out of my hand, partially flooded my mask and I did a summersault in the water," said Patti. "The first scream, the 'help,' I didn't think I had a leg, honestly."
Chad Patti Thinks the Mako Wanted to Eat Him
He added that they slowed down the GoPro footage later to get a better look.
"You can see the shark clearly has the fin in its mouth," said Patti. "You can see him crush it. It was a predatory strike from the mako. I was his prey. There was no mistaken identity. There was no fish in the water. No blood in the water."
The diver told the news that the Mako's behavior was a typical hunting tactic. By biting the fin of a sea creature, they are rendered immobilized. The shark must have thought that Patti's flipper belonged to a fish, because the shark went straight for it.
Luckily, Chad Patti was not injured by the shark attack. The footage shows his friend Josh Loucks jumping in the water, and he was brought back to the boat without further incident.
Patti also said he's not traumatized to the point of stopping his hobby.
"I'm not going to let it stop me from doing something I love," he told PNJ.

The real story (though you should always be leery basing a story on what might be a statistical one-year fluke) is that the number of NYPD officers shot went up from 4 in 2011 to 13 in 2012. Luckily none of those 13 was killed. 13 officers shot is the most since 1998. In 1997 27 officer were shot, 4 fatally.
30 police-involved shootings is an incredible low number for a city as big as New York. It is also part of a long-tern downward trend (that correlates, not surprisingly, with the crime rate). In 1990 there 111 police-involved shootings. Going back even further, in 1972 there were 211 people shot by cops!
To put this in comparison, Baltimore, with a fraction of New York's population and about 3,000 officers, had 22 police-involved shootings in 2009 (the last year I have numbers for).
Update: Houston police, with 5,300 officers has shot an average of 24 people a year (10 of them fatally) for the past five years. Many were unarmed.

Came across an interesting new review article by David E. Nichols about N,N-DMT, the Pineal Gland and so on. Definitely worth a read if your into psychopharmacology and that sort of thing, so I thought I'd share it in case anyone is interested... Access full article at scihub - https://sci-hub.tw/10.1177/0269881117736919 N,N-dimethyltryptamine and the pineal gland: Separating fact from myth David E Nichols Abstract The pineal gland has a romantic history, from pharaonic Egypt, where it was equated with the eye of Horus, through various religious traditions, where it was considered the seat of the soul, the third eye, etc. Recent incarnations of these notions have suggested that N,N-dimethyltryptamine is secreted by the pineal gland at birth, during dreaming, and at near death to produce out of body experiences. Scientific evidence, however, is not consistent with these ideas. The adult pineal gland weighs less than 0.2 g, and its principal function is to produce about 30 μg per day of melatonin, a hormone that regulates circadian rhythm through very high affinity interactions with melatonin receptors. It is clear that very minute concentrations of N,Ndimethyltryptamine have been detected in the brain, but they are not sufficient to produce psychoactive effects. Alternative explanations are presented to explain how stress and near death can produce altered states of consciousness without invoking the intermediacy of N,N-dimethyltryptamine.

65 Chromebook tips for maximum productivity
Windows 10 May 2019 Update: Key enterprise features
You are not very incognito in incognito mode
How to go incognito in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge
While 'incognito' mode in any of the big four web browsers offers a measure of privacy, it doesn't completely hide your tracks online. Here's how the feature works, and how to use it.
By Gregg Keizer
How to go incognito in Google Chrome
How to do private browsing in Mozilla Firefox
How to browse in peace with Apple's Safari
How to privately browse in Microsoft Edge (for now)
Private browsing. Incognito. Privacy mode.
Web browser functions like those trace their roots back more than a decade, and the feature — first found in a top browser in 2005 — spread quickly as one copied another, made tweaks and minor improvements.
But privacy-promising labels can be treacherous. Simply put, going "incognito" is as effective in guarding online privacy as witchcraft is in warding off a common cold.
[ Related: Get serious about privacy with the Epic, Brave and Tor browsers ]
That's because private browsing is intended to wipe local traces of where you've been, what you've searched for, the contents of forms you've filled. It's meant to hide, and not always conclusively at that, your tracks from others with access to the personal computer.
At their most basic, these features promise that they won't record visited sites to the browsing history, save cookies that show you've been to and logged into sites, or remember credentials like passwords used during sessions.
Your traipses through the web are still traceable by Internet providers — and the authorities who serve subpoenas to those entities — employers who control the office network and advertisers who follow your every footstep. So much for privacy, eh?
Knowing the limitations of incognito doesn't make the tool worthless. There are reasons, even good reasons, for masking what you do on a shared PC or Mac. Just don't credit the terminology with more power than it represents.
On the practical side, we've assembled instructions and insights to the incognito features offered by the top four browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari and the soon-to-perish-and-rise-again Edge, from Microsoft.
Although incognito has become a label for any browser's private mode, that's what Google named the feature when it debuted in late 2008, just months after the search giant launched its browser.
The easiest way to open an Incognito window is with the keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS).
Another way is to click on the menu on the upper right — it's three vertical dots — and select New Incognito Window from the list.
Open a new Incognito window from the menu or using keyboard shortcuts; in Windows, the latter is Ctrl-Shift-N.
The new Incognito window can be recognized by the dark background and the stylized "spy" icon just to the left of the three-dots menu. Chrome also reminds users of just what Incognito does and doesn't do each time a new window is opened. The message may get tiresome for regular Incognito users, but it may also save a job or reputation; it's important that users remember that Incognito doesn't prevent ISPs, businesses, schools and organizations from knowing where customers, workers, students and others went on the web or what they searched for.
Each time a new Incognito window is opened, Chrome reminds users what Incognito doesn't save and examples of online activity that may be visible to others.
Once a tab has been filled with a site, Chrome continues to remind users that they're in Incognito by the dark background of the address bar and window title.
What Incognito looks like after pulling up a website.
A link on an existing page can be opened directly into Incognito by right-clicking the link, then choosing Open Link in Incognito Window from the resulting menu.
To close an Incognito window, shutter it like any other Chrome window by clicking the X in the upper right corner (Windows) or the red dot in the upper left (macOS).
Pro tip: Chrome's Incognito runs with all extensions automatically disabled. To allow one or more add-ons to run within Incognito, steer to the Extensions page — in Windows, it's under More tools — click the Details box and look for the slider alongside the text Allow in incognito. Move the slider to the right to enable the extension in Incognito.
After Chrome trumpeted Incognito, browsers without something similar hustled to catch up. Mozilla added its take — dubbed Private Browsing — about six months after Google, in June 2009, with Firefox 3.5. (This was before Firefox started iterating every six weeks, when the numeric changes were much less frequent.)
From the keyboard, a private browsing session can be called up using the combination Ctrl-Shift-P (Windows) or Command-Shift-P (macOS).
Alternately, a private window will open from the menu at the upper right of Firefox — three short horizontal lines — after selecting New Private Window.
Opening a private browsing window is as simple as choosing this item from the Firefox menu.
A private session window is marked by the purple "mask" icon at the right of the title bar of the Firefox frame. In Windows, the icon is to the left of the minimize/maximize/close buttons; on a Mac, the mask squats at the far right of the title bar.
Like other browsers, Firefox warns users that private browsing is no cure all for privacy ills but is limited in what it blocks from being saved during a session. "Private Browsing doesn't make you anonymous on the Internet," the caution reads. "Your employer or Internet service provider can still know what page you visit."
Firefox reminds users that while a private session doesn't save searches or browsing histories, it doesn't cloak them in anonymity.
Notable in Firefox's version of incognito is that what Mozilla calls Content Blocking remains enabled during a private session. That should not be a surprise, as the forerunner, labeled Tracking Protection, was introduced as a default to Private Windows long before being added to Firefox's standard mode. (In fact, Content Blocking remains off in Firefox standard until the user manually enables it in Options (Windows) or Preferences (macOS).)
With Content Tracking engaged, the shield appears in the address bar to note trackers were blocked. Clicking on the icon brings up an accounting of what was barred.
A link can be opened into a Firefox Private Window by right-clicking the link, then choosing Open Link in New Private Window from the menu.
To close a Private Window, shut it down just as any Firefox window by clicking the X in the upper right corner (Windows) or the red dot in the upper left (macOS).
Pro tip: Firefox can be set to always open in private windows. Here's how: From the menu, choose Options (Windows) or Preferences (macOS), select Privacy & Security from the choices on the left, scroll down to History and pick Never remember history from the drop-down. Restart Firefox.
"This is equivalent to always being in Private Browsing mode," Mozilla said in a support document. However, when Never remember history has been enabled, the purple mask reminder does not appear in the title bar of the browser.
Chrome may get more attention for its Incognito mode than any other browser, but Apple's Safari was actually the first to adopt the idea of private browsing. The term private browsing was first bandied in 2005 to describe Safari 2.0 features that limited what was saved by the browser. (Safari 2.0 was packaged with Mac OS X 10.4, aka "Tiger," which released in April 2005.)
Side note: Early in private browsing, the label porn mode was often used as a synonym to describe what many writers and reporters assumed was the primary application of the feature. The term has fallen out of general use.
To open what Safari calls a Private Window on a Mac, users can do a three-key combination of Command-Shift-N, the same shortcut Chrome adopted.
Otherwise, a window can be called up by selecting the File menu and clicking on New Private Window.
From the File menu, New Private Window gets you started.
Safari tags each Private Window by darkening the address bar. It also issues a reminder of what it does — or more accurately — what it doesn't do. "Safari will keep your browsing history private for all tabs of this window. After you close this window, Safari won't remember the pages you visited, your search history or your AutoFill information," the top of the page note reads. The warning is more terse than those of other browsers and omits cautions about still-visible online activity.
A darkened address bar is the prime signal that the window is for private browsing.
Unlike Firefox, which automatically turns on additional blocking in its incognito mode, Safari does not enable the browser's Intelligent Tracking Protection (ITP), which was upgraded last year to ITP 2 with Safari 12 and macOS Mojave. To block cross-site trackers — the kind advertisers use to follow an individual as they browse from site to site — Safari users must switch on cross-site tracking themselves. It will then work in both Safari's standard and private modes.
To switch on cross-site tracking, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Privacy icon in the row of icons at the top of the window, check the box marked Prevent cross-site tracking and then close the Preferences window.
Switching on cross-site tracking — the official name of the feature is Intelligent Tracking Protection 2.0 — prevents advertisers from following you around the web while you're using a Private Window.
A link cannot be opened from a page directly into a Private Window in Safari. Instead, users must first open the site with that link in a Private Window, then right-click the link and select Open Link in New Private Tab or Open Link in New Private Window. This is a more cumbersome process than in browsers like Chrome and Firefox.
Close a Private Window just as any Safari window, by clicking the red dot in the upper left corner of the browser frame.
Pro tip: Once in a Safari Private Window, opening a new tab — either by clicking the + icon at the upper right or by using the Command-T key combo — omits the Private Browsing Enabled notice. Other browsers, such as Firefox, repeat their cautionary messages each time a tab is opened in an incognito session.
Edge, the default browser for Windows 10, borrowed the name of its private browsing mode — InPrivate — from Internet Explorer (IE), the now-obsolete-but-still-maintained legacy browser. InPrivate appeared in IE in March 2009, about three months after Chrome's Incognito and three months before Firefox's privacy mode. When Edge was released in final form, as part of Windows 10's late-July 2015 launch, InPrivate was part of the package.
At the keyboard, the combination of Ctrl-Shift-P opens an InPrivate window.
A slower way to get there is to click on the menu at the upper right — it's three dots arranged horizontally — and choose New InPrivate window from the menu.
The key combination isn't shown in the Edge drop-down menu; it's Ctrl-Shift-P.
Edge marks its InPrivate Windows more unobtrusively than any other browser: The blue-colored rectangle at the upper left with InPrivate in white text is the only indicator. Nor does Edge remind users of InPrivate's particulars or warn them that anonymity is not its purpose; Microsoft's browser is the only one of the top four that doesn't bother with such information.
Look closely; the white-on-blue at the upper left is the only notice Edge gives that you're browsing in an InPrivate window.
It's also possible to launch an InPrivate session by right-clicking a link within Edge and selecting Open in new InPrivate window. Doing that when an InPrivate window is already open does not add that as a tab to the private browsing session, but opens an entirely new InPrivate frame.
To end InPrivate browsing, simply shut the window by clicking the X in the upper right corner.
Pro tip: In late 2018, Microsoft announced it would ditch its own technologies, the rendering and JavaScript engines that serve as the foundations for Edge, and replace them with those that power Chrome. When that happens, possibly late in 2019, Edge will almost certainly rely on the same Incognito mode as does Chrome now. Put in plainer terms: All the above will become moot.

Bills notebook: Jackson looks good to face Patriots
By Tim Graham and Mark Gaughan|Published Fri, Sep 28, 2012
Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson appears likely to play against the New England Patriots Sunday, barring a setback over the next two days in his recovery from a sprained knee.
"Fred worked and worked well today, and there didn't seem to be any residual effect negatively from [Wednesday]," coach Chan Gailey said.
Jackson, who suffered the injury in the season opener, worked much of the practice.
"He was in there at the very end," Gailey said. "I think if we make it through the next couple days and continue to improve I think he'll have the opportunity to play."
Jackson went directly from the practice field to the trainer's room after practice, but told reporters, "I feel good," as he walked off the field.
Gailey said running back C.J. Spiller took a few reps as he tries to come back from a shoulder injury suffered Sunday.
"He didn't take a lot, but he took a few and he got back into the swing of things," Gailey said. "We didn't do tackling drills out there ... we'll see where it takes us. I don't know where it's going."
Meanwhile, cornerback Leodis McKelvin (groin) returned to practice.
The Pats' best offensive lineman, guard Logan Mankins, missed his second straight day of practice Thursday with a hip injury. The other key Patriot on the injury report, receiver Julian Edelman, sat out a second straight day with a hand injury.
Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams has a high regard for Mankins.
"He's a big guy, a physical player," Williams said. "He stays after you. He plays hard. A lot of times you see guys that are talented but don't play as hard as he does. He stays after guys. We've gone at it over the years, and it's always fun to play guys that are considered some of the best. I look forward to it every year. ... He plays in a good offense that puts up points, and they win football games, and he's probably their best player up front."
Williams on the game in general: "Obviously, you have great respect for them for what they have done and the team that they are. We want to be at the level of team that they're at. But by no stretch of the imagination does that mean that people are going to quiver when they're coming to town. They have to play the same amount of snaps that we do. With us, if we can continue to play well and go out and make plays Sunday, I think teams are going to notice and say, 'We have to prepare for these guys because they can play.' That starts this Sunday: division opponent, team that's owned our division, been to the Super Bowl, conference champions. We have a big challenge in front of us, but we're not going to get to where they are by being scared when they roll in here and backing off. We have to get after them Sunday."
Meanwhile, Pats cornerback Sterling Moore (knee), starting tackle Sebastian Vollmer (back) and starting defensive tackle Kyle Love (knee) were limited. ... The Pats released veteran tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., who was signed just last week.
Here's Bills great kicker Steve Christie on the team switching from Brian Moorman to Shawn Powell at punter:
"Different coaches want different things, and I think it came down to giving up a lot of yardage. When I played with Jeff Feagles with the Giants that one year in '04, I saw a punter that could put the ball to the sideline. Every. Time. Consistently. I think that is what an older punter has to do because you're not going to get those big 5.2, 5.3 hang times anymore. So you've got to be able to get that ball outside the numbers and pin that return team in. That may have been the problem with the punting. That may have been the final point."
"What they want is Chris Mohr again," Christie said. "They want another Chris Mohr who is consistently going to give you a (high) net every time. A special teams coach will take that, especially in Buffalo. I think you're going to get really good hang times with [Powell]."
Christie and Mohr were Bills teammates from 1992-2000, and all but their final season was under current Bills special teams coach Bruce DeHaven.
Bills cornerback Aaron Williams had two fine pass breakups on sideline throws in the Cleveland game. One was deep in Bills territory on a throw for Mohammed Massoquoi. He reached up just in time to deflect it. The other was on a 50-yard streak for Travis Benjamin down the right sideline. Williams batted it away. Both were catchable balls for the receiver.
"I just had to bounce back from last week," Williams said, referring to the Kansas City game. "Even though we had a win I felt my performance wasn't up to par compared to my expectations. I focused more on my technique and just playing through the play. I learned that you get excited when you're in the right position but you want to look back early. When you look back early you lose some of your speed. I waited a little longer, be more patient, and when you turn your head, go for the ball like your life's dependant on it. I felt like the last game I was in a perfect position, but I didn't have that drive, that fire of wanting that ball. I made sure I had that mentality."
