The 280 has a LOA of 27'7" (8.34 m) and a beam of 9'4" (2.84 m). Her weight of 6,100 lbs. (2,767 kgs.) puts her in the middle when we compare her to other boats in class.
The Mission
It goes without saying that the 280 Outrage is designed for serious fishing with no fish features omitted.
But the 280 Outrage is also designed to be a good all-around family day boat for cruising and entertaining. With seating at the helm, just forward of the outboard well, and forward of the console six people can ride comfortably at speed. Slow her down a bit and put a gang forward in the wraparound seating. Add a table, and that's a great location in the bow for lunch or cocktails at anchor -- and this is exactly how many people use their 280s.
The Boston Whaler 280 Outrage is a powerful contender for the serious offshore angler's business.
Distinguishing Features
With over 50 brands of center console boats on the market it is not an easy task for a consumer to make an educated buying decision. All of the boats look pretty in the pictures and shiny at the boat shows, so what is the difference? Further, the price differences are also fairly broad among center consoles in any class, so what is one getting for the extra money?
Infrastructure. It is not often talked about, but one of the most important things that separate the men from the boys in the center console boat building business is the infrastructure of the builder. Few if any builders in this class have the depth of engineers, designers, service and warranty personnel that Boston Whaler has. It means that boats are not designed and engineered by a couple of people with their own ideas as to how things should be done, but rather by a team of experts who check and double check every aspect of a boats development. When something goes wrong in the after market, there is a staff to help the customer.
On-water Testing. Boston Whaler has a "best practices" quality assurance program in its plant to make sure every part and boat is built to spec. Moreover, each boat that Boston Whaler builds is tested on the water before it leaves the plant to make sure that all systems are working.
Abaft the helm seats is the bait prep area with a 40 gallon (151.4 L) livewell in blue. Tackle drawers are below the sink with a pull-out nozzle. Note the vertical rod holder for use while rigging. The port and starboard fishboxes have pump-outs and drains.
Unibond Construction Process. Boston Whaler pioneered the concept of foam floatation in boats and today has a proprietary process of glassing the decks to the hulls and then filling the interior with foam that produces a boat that is essentially one, large piece of composite material.
Level Flotation When Swamped. The 280 Outrage and all Boston Whaler boats have a rated weight-carrying capacity when swamped. In the case of the 280, it is 3,500 lbs. (1,590 kgs.) which means that if the boat is swamped it will float level with as much as that weight of people and gear in the boat. The key phrase here is "float level." Boats over 20' are not required by the USCG to float level when swamped and most of them -- even top brand names -- do not. Boston Whaler is one of only a couple of center console boat builders that makes the level flotation claim in print and backs it up with the weight capacity.
The 280 Outrage is also made for entertaining when in cruising mode. This optional table stows in the head compartment. A hatch below the pedestal holds anything that's wanted including 5-gallon buckets for gear or casting nets.
Modern Styling. Few boats in class have the soft styling that appears on the 280 Outrage with her reverse transom, tumble home and graceful rounded radius curves in the console and on most of the interior areas of the boat.
A 23-degree Deadrise at the Transom. When it comes to comfort in a center console at speed, there is no substitute for a sharp entry and a deep deadrise at the transom. A deadrise at the transom of 25-degrees is the most we have seen on a production CC, so the 23-degrees of the 280 is nearly as deep as they come.
Fit-and-Finish. Most boats in the top tier of quality in this class (and price) of boats have good fit-and-finish. What sets the 280 Outrage apart in our mind is the extent to which the builder has gone to make this boat as perfect as possible, even in places that are hard to see. Details such as recessed hinges, gel coated bilge surfaces, 316L alloy stainless hardware are all examples of this level of the build.
To both sides of the console are two optional "trolling seats" that fold up out of the way under the gunwale. These are one of the most creative and welcome innovations on the 280 Outrage. They allow anglers to sit in the shade of the hardtop while facing aft watching the baits.
With 2 x 225-hp. While we haven't yet tested this boat to verify the numbers, Boston Whaler has. In its tests of the 280 Outrage powered by twin 225 Mercury Verados, the boat reached a top speed at 6200 rpm of 50.8 mph with a 47.4 gph fuel burn. Best cruise came in at 4000 rpm and 30.1 mph. At that speed, Boston Whaler reports a fuel burn of 17.7 gph for a range of 307 statute miles. Reported test weight was 8,790 lbs. (3,995 kgs.)
With 2 x 250-hp. Bolting on 250-hp Mercury Verados with the same props as on the 225s (14-1/2"x17") paid little dividends in terms of speed or efficiency. Boston Whaler reports that the 280 Outrage's WOT speed with these engines at 6400 rpm was 52.6 mph. Best cruise was at 4000 rpm where the boat went 30.3 mph getting 15.5 mpg. We'd stick with the 225 Verados, and pocket the up-charge. Reported test weight was the same as with the 225s.
With 2 x 300-hp. Twin 300-hp Mercury Verados move the WOT needle to 58.0 mph at 6250 rpm. At 4000 rpm, best cruise, the 280 Outrage was reported to have traveled 32.5 mph getting 1.69 mpg. Again, because of the cost differential, we would opt for 225-hp engines and save the money. Speed freaks know what to do. Test weight was not available.
The curved reverse transom and rounded gunwales make the 280 a leader in styling in class.
What the Customer Wants
Boston Whaler had been doing some serious market research not only among its owners, but also among those of its competitors. What the builder found out was that the market had become more sophisticated and was getting particular about what it expected – and knew it could get – in a new center console.
"We discovered that consumers wanted a soft, dry ride, more seats, better weather protection, greater storage, increased space behind the leaning post or helm seat, larger livewells, and finer finish even in the bilges of the boat," said Ron Berman, Vice President of Product Development and Engineering for the company. "The 280 Outrage provides all of that and more."
With a choice of nine pastel and earth-tone colors, we think the two-tone look is attractive. It also makes the freeboard appear lower than it really is. The colors will also signal to fellow boaters that this is a Boston Whaler.
The lighter-toned colors are not only distinctive but also more easily repaired than are darker ones. One will not find the traditional dark, rich colors such as navy blue, British racing green and fire engine red on the option list for that reason.
Boston Whaler has eliminated the large, ugly aluminum piping that traditionally held up the T-tops on center consoles. The 280 Outrage's integrated system improves visibility greatly. All aluminum is powder-coated.
Console Windshield with Hardtop
Now let's get to the most innovative part of the boat. The huge, ugly, in-the-way, vision-robbing, hard-to-keep-shiny aluminum pipes that many builders still use to hold up their hardtops has been eliminated.
Boston Whaler has artfully placed the aluminum piping in the radius of the four corners of the console. There are window mullions, but no offensive piping. Most of the piping that is visible is for hand holds – and is the proper diameter for that purpose – and all are powder-coated in white.
Adding the hardtop to the 280 Outrage will yield a bridge clearance of 8' 9" (2.67 m), and if opting for the radar, the clearance will then become 10' 1" (3.07 m).
The 280 Outrage comes standard with a "thru-the-bow" anchor hawse pipe just like the big yachts have. The windlass is optional and includes the anchor and rode.
Visibility is the Name of the Game
Look at the pictures here and note that there are no ugly cross bars in front of the helmsman's field of vision. Note there are not any aluminum poles bolted to the deck in front of or beside the center console to trip over or restrict passage on either side of the console.
There are other aspects of this design that are not so apparent, but they are also important. Boston Whaler has gone to some trouble to eliminate bolts and nuts going through the pipes and aluminum bases both on the deck and in the hardtop. That means one will not have bolts rattling loose, drips of water from the overhead, and stains emanating from "stainless" steel fastenings.
The glass used in the windshield and side curtains is tempered, tinted and bonded to the window frame with the same materials that are used in auto industry windshields.
With the fold-away stern seat deployed, a bit of deck space is taken up, but it becomes a great spot to ride out to the fishing grounds. When it's time to go to work, one person can easily stow it with no fuss.
With the fold-away stern seat stowed there is access to the pump room. Notice the gutters leading to the deck drains. All hatches have gaskets, are back gelled, and are supported by gas assist struts. Fuel lines connect to the tank under the round, plastic screw-off plate in the center. All bilge surfaces are gel coated for easy cleaning.
Designed For Offshore Work
A well-built, well equipped 26' to 30' (7.92 m to 9.14 m) center console is as big as most fishermen need for serious offshore work. The Boston Whaler 280 Outrage falls right in the middle of that range and we wouldn't hesitate to take her across the Gulf Stream to Bimini or out to the Jersey canyons on a decent day.
Displacement. She weighs 6,100 lbs. (2,767 kgs.). When we compared her with five other top-of-the-line center consoles in class, we discovered that she comes out right in the middle on weight, slightly heavier than some, and lighter than a couple of others. That means that Boston Whaler designers have taken the middle course and she should be competitive in terms of speed and fuel-efficiency.
Add a pair of large 250-hp Mercury Verados and she will have a weight of 7,790 lbs. (3,540 kgs.), dry.
Both seats have moveable bolsters or "thigh rises" as Boston Whaler calls them. The helm seat slides fore and aft.
The Console Inside and Out
We like the tilt wheel and the two foot rests for the captain, the optional VHF is handy to both captain and companion, and the standard compass is in front of the helm, not centered (which is as it should be). Here one can see a pretty optioned-up panel with twin 12" (30.5 cm) displays, VesselView, and autopilot. The sun visor is a welcome addition. Switches are up high for less hunting.
Inside the console, on the aft bulkhead are the electrical distribution with the two battery switches and two ignition keys. While this is a fine place for the electrical buses and fuses, we can think of better places for the ignitions, battery switches, and stereo. Our guess is that owners will leave the keys in and simply lock the door to the head when they leave the boat.
This looks like the standard center console cooler-seat-with-backrest, but it is a lot more than that. Just move the cooler forward and place in the bow-seating niche and there is a casting platform or a sun pad. How cool is this? The cooler is custom-molded to nestle in the bow. Plus the tapered front edges allow for more room to walk around without whacking one's shins.
If the boater doesn't care for the low profile rail, then the split bow railing is an option. European boaters who moor with the bow to the dock will appreciate how easy it is to get off the boat. It also makes handling the anchor easier and kids will love being able to dive off the bow.
There are four tackle drawers in the port quarter. This is a good use of space. Note the fold-away stern seat in the stowed position and the heavy stainless steel gear to hold it.
Perhaps the best news of all about the Boston Whaler 280 Outrage is her price. With standard twin 225-hp CXXL DTS Verado 4-stroke outboards with hydraulic steering, the MSRP price is $170,515. This price is surprisingly competitive with other boats we have looked at the top level of boat building in class.
Opting up to 250 Mercury Verados will add another $3,976, and a pair of 300s will add $10,445.
Given all of the standard equipment, the size of the engines, all of the innovations and the build quality, we'd say if the boater is in the market for a center console this size, the 280 Outrage should definitely get one's attention. She is priced competitively with her high-quality peers, and no builder has a better reputation. Moreover, few builders can make the level flotation claims that Boston Whaler has built its business upon.

It is rare but it has happened before: one big rock smashing into another one scattered super-heated fragments and ignited a wild fire.
That was the finding of investigators probing the cause of the mid-July Lighthouse Fire in Range Creek.
"It took a long time to feel confident about it, but after talking with geologists and physicists we decided that was it," said Jason Curry, spokesman for the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, one of the investigators.
Curry said that the team was able to trace the point of origin of the fire, and in that place was "a huge boulder" that had recently tumbled down a cliff and collided with another. They found an impact, crater and fresh fragments. At the point of impact there was still fresh powder that could be scattered with a puff of breath.
Curry said he was curious about the seeming coincidence. However, he and the team had other potential causes to investigate.
"We talked with people, checked vehicles, and studied photos taken by people who first spotted the fire," he said. The photos corroborated the team's conclusion that they had the right point of origin.
"We eliminated campfire as a cause, smoking, guns, cutting and grinding, and there was no lightning," Curry explained.
With the usual suspects removed, that left the falling boulder as a potential cause. The investigators checked with the experts at the Utah Geologic Survey, and the UGS found documentation that such impact fires have happened several times.
The physical explanation, in simplest terms, is that a refrigerator-sized boulder in free fall for a few hundred feet packs a lot of kinetic energy, including some heat from friction if it skids from point to point. When it comes to a sudden stop, that energy has to go somewhere.
Some energy goes into sound, some into fracturing the boulder and what it strikes, and the balance into heat.
The Lighthouse Fire was contained before it could spread further than 800 acres. It did not destroy any known archaeological sites in the world-famous canyon.
Reseeding the scars after the Seeley Fire
In other post-fire activities, the U.S. Forest Service this week began dumping tons of winter wheat seed on about 7,000 acres severely burned areas on the Seeley Fire scar of the Manti-La Sal National Forest.
The object is to get the wheat to germinate on steep slopes so its roots will hold the soil in place this winter.That should retain enough soil for native plants to begin recovering the land in the spring.
Mulch is not effective protection against rain erosion on steep slopes. Without roots to hold the soil, it is being washed away by summer rainstorms. Perennial grasses and forbs cannot successfully germinate under these conditions.
Morris Ag Air of Yuma, AZ has four aircraft on the job and has been seeding since Monday. They will apply 187,500 pounds of winter wheat on 6,946 acres at a cost of $254,500.
The winter wheat seeding project is part of the Burned Area Emergency Response effort funded by the Forest Service.
The Manti-La Sal National Forest manages watersheds for people living in eight central/southeastern Utah counties and two western Colorado counties; it cares for 1.4 million acres of wildlife habitat, fisheries in 1,600 miles of perennial streams and 8,100 acres of lakes and reservoirs; it maintains 2,940 miles of road, 430 miles of trails, provides 550 developed campsites for the enjoyment of people who visit the Forest and is the source of 85 percent of the coal mined in Utah.

- How to Read a Study Record
The area of the brain responsible of visuospatial processing data and more specifically the orientation of an object or image is located in parietal lobe, especially on the right side. A dysfunction of this region would result in a disorder of recognition of the orientation of objects and images that the investigators call orientation agnosia. Several isolated cases are reported in the literature but to the investigators knowledge deficit has never been systematically searched, or put into perspective compared to other neuropsychological deficits. Moreover, the precise location of the lesion responsible for such a disorder remains uncertain. The objectives of this study are (1) detect the existence of orientation agnosia in case of right parietal lesion, and (2) to improve the understanding of such a deficit allowing better management of this disorder.

By CHARI JELSMASun Advocate reporter
Public officials started one of Utah's largest water conservation campaigns on Friday after concerns were raised on record-breaking temperatures in the state and future population increases.
With the end of six years of drought in the state, Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert and other public officials are concerned that Utah residents may become wasteful with water usage during the summer months.
In an attempt to alleviate potential problems, the state officials decided to start a new statewide campaign to educate Utah residents on water conservation.
Currently, Carbon County is experiencing dryer than normal conditions even with this year's excess rainfall.
Drought conditions at locations across the state are evaluated regularly by the Utah Division of Water Resources and reported to the governor.
Herbert is concerned that with snowpacks and heavy rainfalls residents might think they no longer need to conserve.
The newly launched campaign will promote water conservation to all Utah residents and will include newspaper inserts, television and radio commercials, printed brochures and a 30-minute infomercial.
Free water checks through the governor's water conservation team will also be available for residents of the state as well as businesses and institutions.
The governor's conservation team will assess soil types, conduct an analysis on irrigation systems and provide customized watering schedules along with conservation tips during thes checks.
Also a possibility for the future are increases in water costs, along with tougher city ordinances and even the offering of rebates to residents who purchase water conserving appliances for their homes.
In rural areas like Carbon County with acres of farmland, water conservation is extremely important to agricultural producers and ranchers who use more water than most businesses and residents.
The University of Utah's Bureau of Economic and Business Research ranked St. George first in a recent report on per capita water use of 25 major cities in the Intermountain West.
Logan and Salt Lake City also made the top five in the list.
Utah currently consumes about 293 gallons of water per person per day, second to only Nevada.
If Utahns reduce consumption of water 25 percent by 2050, they will conserve 400,000 acre-feet of water each year.
Low water landscaping in new residential developments is being promoted by the state for St. George. Increases in water costs are also expected as populations grow and water reserves diminish.
An increase of 1.3 million people in the state who will be needing water is expected over the next 20 years. The state expects water demands over the next 30 years to increase by 70 percent. Water conservation will need to be relied upon to deliver the extra water necessary to the growing population.
With Utah's arid climate, residents frequently water their yards to keep them lush. Most residents apply more water than necessary. Landscapes and yards currently consume nearly half of the state's municipal water supply.
Since 65 percent of water is used outside, residents can help conserve water in many ways during the summer.
Not watering lawns between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is an easy way of avoiding excess water use. Most water used during this time will evaporate.
Even during the hottest weather, lawns only need to be watered twice a week. Brown spots on lawns should be hand-watered instead of over-watering the entire lawn.
Look for a bright yellow tag when shopping for plants. This indicates a water-wise plant.
Residents should also make sure that sprinklers are watering the grass and not the sidewalk or nearby cement.
Water conservation is beneficial for all residents. Not only will water bills drop when residents conserve water, but gas and energy bills will also decline as residents heat less water.
Additional water saving tips can be found at the Division of Water Resources web site, www.conservewater.utah.gov.

He does look like a coach in the dugout.Rising O's wrote:I really do not understand why he is still with the team. Is he looking to coach? Is Showalter showing him the ropes? Its the only thing I can come up with.
Beaker wrote:Every game I watch and see Brian Roberts in the dugout I always get to wondering will he ever hit the field again in an Orioles uniform or any uniform at that. Not only is he dealing with the head injuries, but also the emergence of Robert Andino at 2B. I think his time is over for the Orioles. What do you all think?
Beaker wrote:He was much better than Andino pre-concussion, but the affects of a concussion can take a long time to recover. I like Roberts and really hope he can return to his old form, but if he misses this entire year and Andino has a good year I think his options at least with the Orioles are up.
Beaker wrote:They can possibly try and trade him, but really coming off an injury like this one it would be hard to get something equal in trade for him.
I have heard even loud noises like big crowds at the games bothers his head.dan72 wrote:I have heard some baseball experts say that he is done. I feel that if he is able to come back, the least minor jarring to his head would finish him. That could come from a swing and miss, a slide into a base, diving for a ground ball ,virtually anything. I have played football at a high level and I have seen what concussions can do to a person.
Unfortunately money is involved here. Brian doesn't want to walk away from a mountain of cash, I would think that the Orioles should have some sort of insurance on a contract of that size. If I were the club, I would force his hand.

The New York Rangers were not the only ones to pull out
badly needed wins in a game 6 as Ryan Graves (2013 4th) led his
Val-d'Or Foreurs to a 6-3 win over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. Graves had a career
playoff best with a 1-2-3 +4 effort that earned him the number 2 star from
Yahoo's Buzzing the Net for Sunday.
Graves did his heroics in the 3rd period as part
of a 4 goal outburst by the Foreurs who broke a 2-2 tie to earn the win. With
the score 3-2 in the 3rd period, Graves got on the scoreboard with a
secondary assist on the Foreurs 4th goal of the game, the goal which
would wind up being the game winner.
The Drakkar would score to cut the Foreurs lead to one goal,
it would be Graves scoring his first ever playoff goal at 15:21 of the 3rd period to restore the 2 goal lead. Graves would then earn the only assist on
the Foreur's final goal of the game an empty net goal at 19:04.
Graves would wind up watching the end of the game from the
penalty box as he was called for roughing at 19:51 missing out on the Gordie
Howe hat trick. Graves would pick up 2 other minors earning calls for holding
and boarding that the Drakkar failed to score on.
Graves is 1-7-8 +13 with 22 PIMs in the playoffs as his
Foreurs head back to Baie-Comeau for game 7 on Tuesday evening. A win means a
trip to the Memorial Cup and of course the QMJHL Championship.

Soldiers of the Utah Army National Guard's Second Battation, 211th Aviation, assisted Emery County Search and Rescue Tuesday morning in locating six rafters missing since Monday on the San Rafael River.
In keeping with the Utah National Guard's mission to respond at the request of state
and local authorities during emergencies, the 2-211th (Second of the 211th) has been training with Emery County and other local jurisdictions this week on search-and-rescue and medical-response procedures. UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crews were in the area and were asked by the Emery County Sheriff's office for assistance.
The Utah Army National Guard unit responded immediately, transporting Emery County search-and-rescue personnel. The 2-211th crew located the missing rafters and landed the helicopter nearby.
Emery County Sheriff personnel administered first aid to the tired and dehydrated rafters.

I am trying to program a script that will take an image of furniture and allow me to overlay a fabric texture onto it. I know this is possible because sites like La-Z-Boy are doing it. Victoria Secret and some other clothing websites also do it with their clothes.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Go to any ctf server that has syringe use item. collect it, but before using it, get your health over 125, prefferably up to 200 or soemthing, collect a mega.
Hold down use item ... note that it cannot be used unless your health is under 125 so it will appear to do nothing, but whilst holding down use item, hold down shoot also. (use lg) you can see your ammo is not going down and your invincible. Strange bug. but fun :P

Not exactly what I expected.

Delivery was prompt. Will put somewhere as Christmas Decoration. I feel it is a rather "pricy" knick-knack. Was hoping it would look like an expensive crystal decoration. I was also surprised that the front of body was open. Supposedly it is open to clean...If village was enclosed it would not get dusty. Bottom line...do not love it as I thought I would.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Used the product as additional holiday decoration. Pleasant to look at , gets one in the holiday spirit. The illumination could be brighter. It would be cool if a light could be placed on the front of the moving train.

This was a gift I received for Christmas this year. Didn't get to use it very much, but, really loved it. The Frosty should set more stable on the base. I would like for the lighted village to be brighter. But, he is Frosty, SO, I love him!
By Tandedillard
from Bethlehem, Georgia
I love having it under my tree and part of my Christmas decorations. The train is not the best and seems poorly constructed for a Thomas Kinkade piece. The crystal and village are beautiful though!

CANTON A Connecticut woman has been identified by police as the pedestrian victim in a Sunday hit-and-run accident on Park Street in the village. St. Lawrence University student Emily Baldwin, 18, New Canaan, Conn., was in a marked crosswalk near Brewer Bookstore about 12:30 a.m. with another woman, Liana Baker, 18, when Ms. Baldwin was struck by a northbound pickup truck driven by Dustin W. Rookey, Canton village police said.
Ms. Baldwin was treated at Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, for minor injuries. Mr. Rookey, 25, of 38 Pollock Road, was stopped by St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies a short time later on Route 11 near DeKalb Junction. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of a personal injury accident and failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. His blood alcohol content was 0.12 percent, police said. A BAC level of 0.08 percent or more is considered proof of intoxication under state law. He was released on his own recognizance to appear in Jan. 2 in Canton Town Court.

MLS Regular Season
So what happened there? A sequence of three controversial events stacked up to cause much of the Toyota Park crowd to boo referee Ismail Elfath and crew as they went into the interval.
The First:
With the teams locked at 1-1, Patrick Nyarko broke through the New England backline and was thought to have won a penalty just as the clock hit 44:00 after contact with Revolution defender Jose Goncalves at the top of the box.
Elfath waved play on much to the chagrin of players and fans alike but okay, no big deal...
The Second:
Maybe its conjecture but the play seemed to throw Elfath off his game.
He likely would have signaled the amount of stoppage time or communicated via radio headset to fourth official Silviu Petrescu right after that play but with some jeers raining down and the signal to play on, perhaps he forgot? Perhaps the communication wasn't received on the sidelilne?
Either way the amount of stoppage time was never put up on the board by Petrescu and as a result, never announced in-stadium. It did however make its way into the broadcast though how, I'm still trying to deduce as no official number was ever given.
In the end, we probably won't know why it didn't happen as Elfath was asked via pool reporter post-game why the fourth official didn't raise the board to signal stoppage time.
The somewhat avoidant response was, "The priority of the fourth official is to keep order in the technical area."
Which seems to suggest Petrescu was too busy dealing with both team's coaching staffs to raise the board during any point of what ended up being three additional minutes of stoppage time. Without directly answering the question though, Elfath continues to leave the incident open for interpretation.
If it's safe for me to put my editorial hat on: The Pool Reporter system is a definite step forward for the league and Professional Referees Organization but its only as good as the referees being honest enough to answer the question being asked.
Though there's nothing specific about the raising of the stoppage time signal in the Laws of the Game, the signal is something universally expected at the international and professional level.
Even if there was chaos for three minutes in the technical area (which would be an overstatement), the job of the fourth official is also to inform the players, coaches and those in attendance what that number is.
That didn't occur unfortunately.
The Third:
With no stoppage time signaled, you could make a case that the half should have ended right when the clock struck 45:00. It didn't, and in fact saw New England score their second go-ahead goal of the night when Saer Sene received a pass from Dimitry Imbongo and finished past Johnson to make it 2-1.
Should the goal have stood? Upon further review, absolutely not...
Off the goal kick in which Bobby Shuttleworth found Imbongo, the Congolese forward was aided by the use of his hand to settle the ball before spraying towards goal and laying off for Sene.
There's the old adage that you should play to hear the whistle but looking back on the series of events, it seems the teams should have gone into halftime locked 1-1.
Where do we go from here?
There's no sour grapes as the Fire overcame the controversy to take a 3-2 win in dramatic fashion at home over New England. The victory sees the team into a playoff position for the first time this season, something unthinkable following the side's 2-7-1 start to the season.
Just as good, the last two games between these two clubs seem to show a revival in the once heated rivalry between the sides.
On to the next one at Columbus.
Select shots from Saturday's 3-2 come-back win over New England...
CREDIT: Brian Kersey Chicago Fire
Mike Magee already has double-digit goals in 2013.
In Regular Season terms, the six he scored in LA (three of which came against the Fire on Opening Day) combined with the nine he's tallied for the Men in Red since May have him second in the MLS Golden Boot Race with 15.
He's also scored double-digits for the Fire across all competitions, with his nine league goals combining with three in U.S. Open Cup play to give him 12 across all competitions.
Still, that long-hanging statistic of hitting double-digit regular season goals in one season for one club is there for Magee tonight as he looks to become the seventh player in club history to achieve the feat.
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Having appeared in just 15 games, it made me wonder if he could be the quickest to do it in a Fire shirt and then I remembered: Ante Razov...
Razov is of course the club's all-time leading scorer with 76 regular season goals in 155 games. He hit double-digit goals five of his six seasons in Chicago. It stands to reason that he might have Magee beat multiple times in this stat.
Take a look...
|Ante Razov's Double Digit Goals
|Games Needed
So Magee won't beat him but upon further review, if he bags a goal Saturday vs. New England or in the next two games, he'll be come the second fastest player to hit double-digits for the Fire after Razov. Not bad for a guy who asked for Ante's blessing before he took the #9 shirt with the Men in Red.

For all the talk of the Fire's possession problems, you wouldn't have known it in the first 20 minutes of Wednesday night's game in Toronto. The Alex/Jeff Larentowicz partnership hummed along like it did during the squad's hottest streak this year, a fresh looking Patrick Nyarko did his havoc-creating thing, and it all culminated with a deserved goal.
Of course, at the final whistle it was obviously a shame they didn't get one or two more during that period. But that's what this Fire does. They pull off the tough results and tend to drop the seemingly easier ones. Even on short rest, away from home (where they've struggled all year), Toronto was the perfect opponent.
And in the first 20 minutes, the Fire pretty much had their way with the ball and the field, pressing hard to win it up field, running off each other -- it was yummy. It's hard to pick one sequence but there was one down the right side in the 15th minute I loved. The Fire won the ball and played a couple fast one-touch passes before Nyarko just missed Chris Rolfe, wide open past midfield. It didn't come off, but just look at the wide open spaces in TFC's team shape.
TFC started bad. Really bad. They misplaced more balls than a dog with amnesia and the Fire took all the space they wanted. It was a veritable buffet for Rolfe, Dilly Duka, and Mike Magee, enjoying constant service from midfield as well as the enterprising Gonzalo Segares.
TFC's goal shouldn't have been the last goal of the game but it was and thankfully other results held up so the Fire are still in perfectly okay position for the playoffs. They need to pick up points down the stretch, yeah, but they're all of one point out of fifth with seven games to play. I still don't understand the doomsayers calling the season off already.
If the 14th minute, free-flowing Fire example showed everything this team can be when it flows right, Quincy Amarikwa's 78th minute chance showed what's sometimes dispiriting about them. They let points get away from them.
Off a TFC attack, Magee got the ball in his own half and turned through the midfield to play Rolfe, who spotted Amirakwa's dash inside. It was a great run because he timed it later than Juan Luis Anangono's, which was a bit too early so his defender could recover before Pause pushed close enough to goal.
Amarikwa's run came directly in front of his defender, giving Pause the angle and target he needed, and Quincy was in. He had the choice of laying off for Anangono, who was beyond the goalie and just a simple touch away from giving the Fire the lead, but he went himself. Against his own team, in on goal, Amarikwa went himself and shot right at TFC keeper Joe Bendik. Anangono (and Fire fans) were furious.
It's not outrageous for a striker in that position to go himself; actually, it's probably the right thing to do versus risk an extra pass. But it was a moment the Fire couldn't quite grasp, the kind of moment they'll need to in the next seven games if they're to keep their season going into the playoffs.
After missing yet another opportunity to jump into the Playoff spots after a disappointing draw in Toronto midweek, the Fire head back to Toyota Park on Saturday to face the team they are trying to catch, the New England Revolution (LIVE 7pm CT on My50). The Revs occupy the fifth and final Playoff spot and will be looking to put some distance between themselves and the chasing pack. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Tracking Kelyn Rowe and Diego Fagundez – monitoring the Revs playmakers movement
Both Rowe and Fagundez are having fantastic seasons for New England despite their young age. For an 18 year old, Fagundez has a real eye for goal and a knack of getting into very good positions in the box. Many of his goals this season have been tap-ins, with the Uruguayan being in the right spot at the right time.
Rowe on the other hand likes to operate outside the box and is excellent at picking up the ball in the space between the midfield and the back line. In New England's last two matches against Toronto and Montreal, Rowe was allowed too much space to pick up the ball in these positions. From there, he is equally comfortable shooting from distance or running at defenders. He displayed both in the matches against the Impact and TFC.
To stop Rowe, the communication and decision making by the Fire's midfielders and defenders is very important. Defenders such as Bakary Soumare and Austin Berry must come out and close down Rowe as quickly as possible when he picks up the ball in that position. As for Fagundez, tracking his runs into the box will also be crucial.
Concentrating on team defense – cutting out individual errors and defending better as a team
In the Fire's last few matches, individual errors and lack of concentration have been the team's downfall. On Wednesday night, a piece of nonchalant defending led to TFC's tying goal while multiple players were guilty of not tracking their runners in the matches against Seattle and Houston.
Individual errors have plagued Fire defenders this season while the wingers are the culprits responsible for sometimes failing to follow their marks. As a defensive unit, the players must be focused for the entire 90 minutes, especially now because there is little room for error if the Men in Red are to make the Playoffs. Against a team with such fluid attacking play and movement as New England, lapses in concentration like these will be punished.
Getting in 1v1 situations with A.J. Soares – Fire attack must try and isolate the Revs defender
In New England's last match against Montreal, something that struck me was the ease in which Impact striker Marco Di Vaio was able to score both of his goals. Both goals were very similar, with the Italian receiving the ball in the box and going 1v1 with Soares before making a cut, losing the Revs defender and finishing with ease.
Don't get me wrong, Di Vaio is a brilliant striker but his ability to beat players 1v1 is not his strong point, his deadly finishing is. As we have seen this season, Chris Rolfe and Mike Magee are not afraid to run at defenders and Quincy Amarikwa showed on Wednesday in Toronto that his pace coming off the bench can cause any defense problems.
Against New England this weekend, I would like to see the Fire strikers take on Soares if they find themselves in a position to.
Prediction: The Fire take the frustrations of the past few weeks out on the Revs and comfortably win 3-1 with goals from Magee (2) and Patrick Nyarko.

After dropping points late for the second week in a row, the Fire head north to Toronto to play their game in hand against TFC Wednesday night knowing that a win would springboard the Club into a Playoff position (6:30pm CT on My50). TFC were also beaten in the Pacific Northwest last weekend, 4-0 by Portland. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Controlling possession while being wary of TFC's high pressure
In recent matches, TFC have focused on pressuring their opponent high up the field in an attempt to turn the ball over and/or force the team to play long ball or go back to the goalkeeper. This tactic can work very well but it also has the result of drawing your players out of position in an attempt to put pressure on the opponent.
Last week New England showed the most effective way of countering that tactic, namely by playing neat, one touch soccer and playing through the pressure. When looking at the possession stats, the Fire aren't one of the most dominant teams in that category, averaging 43% over their past three games but against a team like Toronto, this can be rectified.
READ: Gonzalo Segares talks how MLS Results can be Razor Thin
The Men in Red certainly possess players comfortable playing a one touch, possession brand of soccer and must not be forced into giving the ball away needlessly or kicking the ball long due to the pressure by the TFC attacking players.
I look for the team not to be wasteful in possession on Wednesday night and to play themselves out of pressure whenever possible.
Changes in the attack? Injuries may force a shakeup on Wednesday night
WATCH: Larentowicz, Nyarko preview TFC
With top goal scorer and talisman Mike Magee subbed off at halftime as an injury precaution and the team playing
two games this week, it remains to be seen whether he will go the full 90 tonight in Toronto. With this in mind, Fire coach Frank Klopas has a number of ways he can tinker the side.
One obvious choice would be to bring in Juan Luis Anangono in attack as a direct replacement for Magee, while Patrick Nyarko and Quincy Amarikwa can also play in the forward role. A second and more likely option would be to see Nyarko come in on the wing and Alex play up front with Chris Rolfe.
As Kevin Egan pointed out in the latest edition of "The Centerback," the front four of Alex, Rolfe, Magee and Duka combined extremely well against Seattle and bringing another pacey player like Nyarko into the mix makes sense.
Toronto's defenders are not the fastest, and the movement and speed of the New England and Portland attacking players caused TFC a lot of problems in the last two matches. If Magee is not deemed fit enough to start, who better to bring on later in the game if the Fire need to bag a winner than the second top goal scorer in MLS this season?
Keeping an eye on Reggie Lambe – a powerful wide player
Though statistically Reggie Lambe isn't having the best of years for Toronto, he has played well in TFC's last few matches and will be a threat on Wednesday evening.
In TFC's recent tie with D.C., Lambe switched wings with Bobby Convey and the move worked, crossing for Convey who finished neatly for TFC's lone goal in that match.
In TFC's last home game against New England, the Canadians started with only Robert Earnshaw up front, but Lambe often drifted inside to support the striker. Lambe also plays a part in TFC's high pressure style of play, trying to close down the opposition as quickly as possible when they have the ball.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
It is important that the Fire neutralize Lambe and limit the amount of crosses he is able to send into the box for players like Earnshaw and Andrew Wiedeman.
Prediction: The Fire get what they came to Toronto looking for: 3 points with a 2 nil victory. Goals from Patrick Nyarko and Gonzalo Segares.

Saturday night didn't feel good. A strong Fire performance in always difficult atmosphere at Century Link Field certainly left me feeling like the team had done enough to take something away from Seattle. In the end, that wasn't to be.
With the 2-1 loss, Fire hearts looked at three very big matches Sunday involving Houston, New England and Philadelphia, maybe lit a candle, said a prayer or crossed fingers. That sound you heard round about midnight was a huge sigh of relief as all three teams immediately ahead of the Men in Red in the Eastern Conference playoff race also went down in defeat.
Hence this blog title, as the positioning between the Top 7 in the East remains the same as it was when I wrote the first edition of 2013 Playoff Math two weeks ago, albeit with a bit of a separation between top and bottom.
A breakdown of where things stand heading into this week…
1) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 45 (13-7-6)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home/ 4 away)
Last 5 Games: WDWWL (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-1-3 / 4-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 69
Average Opponents Pts: 35.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. CLB, 9/17 at SJ**, 9/21 vs. VAN, 9/24 vs. HER** 9/28 @ CHI, 10/4 @ HOU, 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Chronologically, Montreal's 4-1 win at New England was the second of three needed Fire results Sunday and though the Impact had only won once away to an Eastern opponent this season, showed up in droves early on as Matt Reis' fifth minute red card for taking down Marco Di Vaio set the tone for the evening in Montreal's 4-2 win.
With the win, the Impact stayed on top of the Eastern Conference (with two games in hand) and may have helped the Fire more than just in the standings as Reis will now be suspended for the Revolution's visit to Chicago this Saturday.
Given Montreal's home form, a visit from the Crew Saturday should probably see them atop the East by the time I'm writing this column next week. With games in hand on both New York and Sporting KC, the Impact hold the inside track to the top spot in the East if they can hold serve down the stretch.
2) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLDL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-2-3 / 5-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 36.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. TFC, 9/22 vs. FCD, 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: The fact that Red Bull had never won in Houston during the MLS regular season didn't exactly bode well form them on Sunday but a smaller than normal crowd at BBVA Compass Stadium saw a few mistakes at the back which New York did well to capitalize on in their 4-1 win.
Red Bull have just six games left to play with the next two at home vs. Toronto FC and FC Dallas. Wins in those and we're either talking about them officially clinching a playoff spot or being having the opportunity to do it in Seattle on October 5.
3) Sporting KC
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (2 home / 4 away)
Last 5: WWLLW (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-4-3 / 5-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 30.5
Remaining Schedule: 9/17 vs. RES**, 9/21 @ TFC, 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC go into their bye week coming off a strong 3-0 home win over Columbus Saturday night. Like Montreal, they've set themselves up well now to balance their remaining Champions League fixtures (they next play Real Esteli on September 17) and could lock down a playoff spot by the end of September.
4) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 39 (10-9-9)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLDW (5pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-3-5 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 57
Average Opponents Pts: 34.7
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. HOU, 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: Despite having a man advantage for the final 33 minutes, Philadelphia was unable to muster a point in a 1-0 defeat at San Jose in the Fire's last needed result of the night.
Philadelphia still sits fourth but only by two points ahead of Saturday's game vs. Houston, one of two very big matches with playoff implications this week.
5) New England Revolution
Current Points: 37 (10-10-7)
Games Remaining: 7 (3 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LDWWL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-5-3 / 4-5-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 33.4
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 @ CHI, 9/21 vs. D.C., 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: Like I said above, New England's 4-2 loss to Montreal helped contribute to everything staying the same towards the bottom of the race. They'll be without starting goalkeeper Matt Reis in Saturday's pivotal visit to Toyota Park but will still likely come in confident knowing they've won the previous two encounters between the sides this year.
6) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 37 (10-9-7)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLWL (4pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-3-3 / 3-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 35.7
Remaining Schedule:9/14 @ PHI, 9/21, 9/25 vs. WC**, vs. CHV, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: It wasn't a good week for Houston who dropped a 2-0 to Columbus at midweek before Sunday's 4-1 thumping vs. New York. Given Houston's recent form (4 points from their last five games), Fire fans will lament the two points dropped to the Dynamo at the beginning of the month but should also be thankful for the fact the Dynamo have continued to struggle following that result.
A loss at Philadelphia next Saturday combined with a win from the Fire or New England may be panic button time for the Dynamo.
7) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 35 (10-11-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (3 home / 5 away)
Last 5 Games: LDWLW (7pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 8-4-2 / 2-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 32.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/11 @ TFC, 9/14 vs. NE, 9/21 @ CLB, 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: Dropping three points late in the last two matches doesn't fill one with confidence but the team's performance at Seattle was very encouraging and they were perhaps rewarded by Sunday's trifecta of results. In reality, the weekend was a complete wash in terms of Playoff Math, so the Fire enter a two-game week with a huge opportunity.
The team faces a quick turnaround Wednesday, playing their game in hand on New England and Houston when they visit lowly Toronto FC (who fell 4-0 at Portland Saturday). A win in Ontario followed by one in Saturday's six-pointer vs. the Revs (and a draw between the Union in Dynamo in Philadelphia) would actually put the Fire into fourth place in the East with six games remaining.
TICKETS: Fire vs. Revolution six-pointer Saturday at Toyota Park
It's fair to admit no one saw the Fire being in this position following Saturday's game but as they say, that's why they play the games and there's all to play for still.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 32 (9-14-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LWLLW (6pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 6-5-3 / 3-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 50
Average Opponents Pts: 38.6
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 @ MTL, 9/21 vs. CHI, 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: In Brian Bliss' first game as interim head coach, Columbus took a huge step defeating Houston 2-0 last Wednesday only to fall 3-0 at KC Saturday night.
By virtue of their point total and remaining schedule, the Crew are certainly still in the playoff race but are at a point where any further slip-ups will probably mean the end to their season.

I want to do a three piece review of the 2012 season.
1. We will finish a review of my pre-season Top 41 prospects.
2. I will do writeups of each position. (I've gotten side-tracked on this the last few years.)
3. I will answer your questions.
In the past, I've done team-level reviews of the system. That's cool. It's useful for some things and not for others. Now, with the season over, and the players all back in the stack as Mets farmhands, I do not think reviewing by team is the most insightful organizational scheme. Instead, we'll look at the "top" guys entering the season, and then go position-by-position.

Terry Collins says he plans to move team's BP closer to game
Terry Collins told reporters today that he plans to move the team's batting practice at home to a time closer to the actual start time of the game, with his starter hitting last. Typically, on the road he explained, the team hits roughly 45 minutes before the game. However, at home, it can be as much as two hours and 25 minutes, which, in his estimation, is too large an amount of time.
Sept. 10, 12:45 pm: The Mets have scored three runs or less in 10 straight home games, their longest such streak since 1982.
They are 4-18 in their last 22 games in Citi Field.
Yesterday, Terry Collins said the following, in regards to the team's offense:
"We've researched it. We're going to try something new. But believe me, we have wrung the rag dry trying to come up with some answers why we don't hit the ball in this park. … We're running out of ideas. We really are. It's about grinding it out right now. It's about going in and having some confidence in your ability, some confidence in what you trust, and try to put the barrel on the baseball. There's no gimmicks that you can use at this level. These guys are talented, very, very talented players, gifted athletes. Once in a while you've got to let them play, let their abilities take over."
The Mets have scored just 241 runs at home, where they also second to last in extra base hits.
In 72 games on the road, however, they have the second most extra base hits and have scored the second most runs in the National League.

Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Hey, I know, they should lower and bring in the fences. Oh, wait. Right, they did that.
So, let me suggest a different solution: Get better players.
Terry is right, there are no gimmicks a hitter can use at this level… eventually, it's about talent and ability. It's not fair to expect a starting lineup with Mike Baxter, Daniel Murphy, Justin Turner, Andres Torres, Jason Bay and Josh Thole to score lots and lots of runs, wherever they play. It's just not going to happen. I feel like every year in Spring Training, we imagine and idealize the offense. Then, somehow, each of the last few years, no matter what once was in March, and no matter what my previous expectations or wishes had been, I look up in August and September and regularly see guys like Willie Harris, Chris Carter, Jesus Feliciano and Wilson Valdez. These guys all have value, but it's not as everyday players. The Mets have and keep playing with so many question marks. If you're going to expect power, get power hitters. I bet those guys hit home runs at home and on the road. If you want extra base hits, get players who can do more than just hit singles, because I bet it happens regardless of ballpark.
I feel like every off season we end up debating things like outfield dimensions and hitting drills and who stands how far from the plate, and we imagine these things will make the difference. However, eventually, it probably helps to actually replace the actual question marks with something that isn't a question mark.
I know this is incredible simplistic and broad, and I'm half joking when writing this post because I know it's all easier said than done, but it's also the obvious and most important step toward being a better team.

Read: Glen Sather on Being GM Of The Rangers and Why Some Moves Are Made
In the book "Behind The Moves," Jason Farris spoke with NHL General Managers past and present about how they conduct business and to tell stories about their lives in hockey.
Here, Glen Sather talks about what it is like to be GM of the Rangers:
"I thought the challenge [coming to the Rangers] was going to be terrific, as it has been. I wouldn't say that it has been even close to successful; it has been competitive but it takes a long time to change things. Guys get into a position and it takes you three or four or five years just to clean out the bad contracts and change the environment….Owners don't want to hear it. But do they want reality or bullshit? When I went to New York, [Dave] Checketts told me that we have to have stars in New York or we are not going to sell tickets. Bottom line is that every team wants to sell every ticket and create as much revenue as possible…Only one team is going to win. Does every owner in the league know that? Do they honestly think they have a legitimate shot at winning? We bullshit each other and we tell our players that our goal is to win the Stanley Cup. Well, that is the goal, but do you really believe it?"
