Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
There could be DNA of Sage in this Sealing Pot that Tobi has.
Tobi knows how to do Edo now aswell.
But I think it will be Itachi to exploit the Edo tensei weakness in the end.
Plausible , lets wait wat Kishi shows us.
you have some very good points... id hate kishi if he did it this way... i want naruto to be lectured sub consciously by so6p who had left parts of his soul in the bijuu
i fully agree with u that is actualy exetreamly likely

Yeah if Minato and Kushina came up with a way to communicate after being dead it's safe to assume , that sot6p was on a even higher level by performing something like that.
He now has the names of the Beasts.
If he can go even deeper into the souls of the beasts , then maybe the great ol sage will be there to welcome naruto.
If that happens , it will be the greatest meeting in Naruto manga history.
We dont even know how much generations exist between the So6p and today, so how cuould they (tobi and kabuto) have found his dna?
second: the only jinjuriki who looked like the So6p when he took contrl of his tailed beast ist Naruto. All the oder didnt habe the slightest apparence of it.
So: if the so6p dna is in a tale beast, than just in Kurama.
Third: why does Kishi make him (Kurama) so powerfull and more mysterious than the other Bijus?
I think Naruto could be the reincarnation of the so6p through Kurama, I think the so6p could have seal a part of himsel in Kurama, (like the 4th did with Naruto) and will appear some how
if you said that since the so6p's soul is partly in naruto then he'll reappear in naruto's mind like kushina and minato did then I'd believe but now no
Agreed....There was some spoiler guy saying that SO6P's soul is inside Kyuubi

I wont be surprised.
Kurama is just way too awsome.
if itachi could break out of edo-tensei (even with outside factors) I think so6p could break too. tobi wouldn't take such risk
as great as he was, Minato is not so powerfull like the so6p and both dnt have the same seal techniques. so I am not sure, if its real what I said before, the appearance of the so6p wont be the same as the one of Kushina or Minato
omg omg omg!!
my theory is about to be true :D
Its either the JuuBI or So6P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost bought a F-ked truck
Remember my new to me/used truck? We purchased a truck a few days ago to help facilitate our move up to the mountains.
It was a 2001 Ford F-150 Supercab XLT. Beautiful truck, a little high on mileage but it wasn't going to be our daily driver. I really like this truck. It was my first Ford truck and I was nervous about buying an American made vehicle. I thought about it and figured how can I go wrong with this truck, it's the most popular truck in America right?
I was driving home from south Denver on Monday and out of nowhere I heard a loud boom, like a small explosion. Then my truck started to pop like an old lawnmower. I pulled over into a Target parking lot and lifted the hood to access any visible damage.
With the hood up I immediately discovered laying on top of the engine a spark plug, rubber plug boot and fragments of a coil. This Ford Triton engine actually blew the spark plug out of the manifold.
I called the dealership to have the truck towed back there and then called my buddy "B" who lived nearby to see if he could rescue me. He did, thanks "B".
When I got home I started to research Ford Triton engines. I couldn't believe the plethora of information out there about Triton engines that habitually blow out spark plugs.
This has happened to thousands of Ford Triton engines and Ford refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem.
I guess the issues stems from the aluminum heads and the lack of threads in the head to secure the spark plugs. Over time the pressure of the engine pops the plugs out.
A quick fix is around $700.00 with no guarantee that it won't happen to the same plug again, or any other of the eight spark plugs at any given time.
So basically, the engine is a piece of sheet and if you fix it it's a roll of the dice on whether the engine will go 10 miles or 50,000. I can't live/drive like that. Ford will not fix this issue nor will it admit to the engine flaw.
For this reason I will never purchase a Ford product again. I really question why we bailed out Ford Motor Company when they won't even back up the most popular product they manufacture. How can Ford ignore the thousands of people who are F-ked because they purchased one of these faulty engines?
I can't support a company that doesn't support it's own faulty products. Ford ignores the same people whose money is allowing them to operate/stay afloat.
If you build a sheet product and don't back it up, you deserve to fail. I'm not saying all Fords or Ford engines are crap, I'm only talking about my experience with the 2001 Ford Triton engine. I can honestly tell you that I'll never know if any of the other Ford vehicles are any good because I'll never purchase a Ford product again. I won't buy a Chevy because of my broken key fiasco of last summer.
Anyways, the Dealer has a three day 150 mile return policy.
The day it broke was day five. When we first talked to the dealer they said, "The truck was sold as is".
I gathered from that statement that they were going to try to screw me.
And they might have except for one thing, there was a small issue with the percentage rate of the loan. They needed to bump it up a half-of-a-percent and the paperwork would need to be resigned. It was Fed-Ex'ed and arrived the morning after the truck broke down.
There was no way we were going to sign the revised paperwork for a disabled truck. I waited to hear what the Dealers decision was before I played my hand. I was lucky, I didn't have to play it. They stepped up to the plate, admitted the engine was F'ked and said you can get your trade and cash back or we can help you find another vehicle.
Had we signed the loan paperwork the day before,…who knows? So today we're heading back out today to look at more trucks.
I'm thinking Toyota Tundra. The MPG isn't as good but the reliability is there.
At least the Triton engines do. Buyer beware…Who'd of thought it would be this damn hard to buy a good used truck. Sorry all, this truck thing has pulled my mind away from baseball and I need to resolve it before I can go forward.
I've been watching Helton's numbers and it looks to me like "Sweet T" is back….D
Just got back from Go Subaru. They had fixed the Ford Truck and said we could either take the "repaired" Ford truck, try and find another one, or get our deposit and my trade-in back.
We did a search and found the exact Toyota truck I was looking for. My brother has had one of these for years. It's perfect.

sorry to hear about your vehicular issues. Nothing like putting your faith in something American made and then having her break your heart. I feel your pain, bro.
I own a newer Ford Explorer. Actually, my Dad and I will be driving it to Toronto in early April. I'll be crossing my fingers!
sorry to hear that D. My sister hates ford to because we used to have a ford explorer in the 80's & it was nothing but a crapper cuzz it kept breaking down almost all the time, ironic thing is, she ends up trading her Chevy truck for a ford F-150(I think that's what is) back in Jan this year — she also used to work for Siltahar ford before Seth was born — so being the expert in all things that she (thinks) she is, she fixes the truck up herself because according to her "it's f-ked up" (like everything else she's "fixed"). I just think she's f-ked up in the head & so does my step-dad.Missyhttp://rocktober-2007.mlblogs.com
Hey D,
That's a drag about the truck. It's nice that you can get something else but it doesn't make up for the pain of having to deal with the 1st lemon. And it's really too bad that Ford won't acknowledge the problem. Do they think it will just go away if they pretend it doesn't exist? Hope your next truck is problem free.
And yes, the Toddfather is back!
Hey D – We've actually have owned 2 Ford Explorer's and have been pretty happy with them. Good luck with your next truck!
That sucks, I'm sorry😦 My mom worked for GM for a long time and we only owned their vehicles–Dad has a 2007 Saturn Vue hybrid that he loves, Mom kept her 1995 GMC Yukon until last year. She broke down and bought a Prius, but only for the mileage. Broke her heart to buy something not made in the USA. If American carmakers can't keep up with the increasing mileage from everyone else, they're going to be in Lake Michigan without a paddle.

HAPPY, MISSY, R-LUV, JULIA, KYLIE. thanks, it all worked out and it's cool when a dealership does the right thing. We're digg'n this truck. Guess it was meant to be…D
Cool blog. Check out mine and let me know if you want to be included in my ballhawk contest.
D- I've heard Ford's aren't the best, I'm glad that the stars alligned and you got everything resolved. Also, that thing about the guy dying and no one knowing for five days… that was kind of depressing. I was sad for that dude.
Send me some biographical information so I can put a paragraph about you up on my blog under the ballhawk league. My email is ErikJ_100 ( at) yahoo.com
D- You know what say about FORD— Fix Or Repair Daily !!! Glad you did not get hurt when the engine blew . Take care , Carol ( baby Paul's gran ) ~ _ ^
….also, Found On the Road Dead. LOL
CAROL-Welcome officially to the Rant (I know you've been reading a while). I thought about it and if I had had the hood up and my head inside looking at the engine at the time that spark plug blew. Hmm, I might not be responding to these comments.
EMILY, R-LUV, JULIA, KYLIE-Hi, If that Ford had lasted one more day I'd have owned a broken Ford that's for sure. My first full day as a Toyota driver and all is good. This truck is much more me than the Ford…D
I love th picture of the Ford, where it said they circled the problem, I agree.
Oh wow I'm sorry to hear about your truck. That was funny the ford pic that was circled. lol How are the guys doing in spring that you guys received for Matt Holliday?
~ King of Cali
Hey bro. Nice truck. Except for the color, it looks just like mine. I'm jealous. Gray /Silver was my first choice and your's looks newer.
Had min 8 years now and still no problems. Approaching 125K.
What up my REAL brotha, I love this truck and your truck is the reason I purchased mine…Older D
If you want to get a headache go to the Ford Truck Enthusiasts site. Its chuck full of people making excuses for Triton Plug Failure. I bought my Lemon 250 V10 triton new in 2000. I paid a lot of money for a truck with a built in self destruct mechanism. At exactly 100,000 miles it blew a plug. The photos in your rant look like they were taken of my truck. Its sad because of the vheicles Ive purchased new they have all been Fords. I will never buy another one. I do thank Ford for driving me to look at sites like yours.

Vt. raising standards for elementary school teachers
MONTPELIER Vermont education officials are embarking on a process of rewriting and raising standards for elementary school teachers so they can stay on top of rising expectations for students.
The big push first and foremost is for alignment with the Common Core state standards for what children are expected to learn at various grade levels, said Mary Beth McNulty, coordinator of professional standards at the state Agency of Education.
A group comprising teachers, principals, superintendents and representatives of teacher training programs met for two days recently to delve into the revision process.
Marta Cambra, director of educator quality at the Agency of Education, said the new materials would be incorporated into the continuing professional training that all Vermont licensed teachers are required to get. Theyre lifelong learners, she said.
Teachers are required to renew their licenses every seven years and complete 135 hours of professional training during each seven-year period, including 45 in their teaching specialty, Cambra said.
McNulty said a significant part of the focus in the new standards would be on making sure educators are prepared to teach children strong math and science skills.
She also said the new teacher standards would call for an emphasis on integrating various subjects.
She said elementary school teachers need to implement a math curriculum that is meant to be deeper, more focused content. Too often before, she said, the math content imparted to elementary school students was a mile wide and an inch deep.
Over time, teachers will be expected to bolster their content knowledge and teaching techniques, McNulty said.
The emphasis on math and science comes at a time when educators at all levels are being called on to improve the training in those fields being given to future workers.
The team working to write the new standards is expected to present a draft of the results this fall to the Vermont Standards Board for Professional Educators.
Implementing new standards will take time, McNulty said, and part of the work will involve making sure they are incorporated into the states 14 teacher training programs, including at the Vermont state colleges, she said.
A spokesman for the Vermont National Education Association chapter said the states largest teachers union supports the process.
Every year, the Agency (of Education) tries to ensure that our licensing and endorsement process match changes in state law and state policy, spokesman Darren Allen said. As long as teachers input is sought and acted upon, this process can be useful.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Darren Perry knows a thing or two about going young at the safety position.
Not only did the Green Bay Packers safeties coach start at safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a rookie in 1992 as an eighth-round draft pick in 1992, but he also looked Steelers coach Bill Cowher in the eye in 2004 and told him they had to start two safeties who'd never started a single NFL game.
So if Perry is supposed to be worried about that fact that the three safeties in the mix for the Packers' two starting jobs – Morgan Burnett, the unquestioned starter and leader of the defense who just signed a four-year, $24.75 million extension, and Jerron McMillian and M.D. Jennings, who'll begin their for the other spot when training camp starts Friday – are all just 24 years old, well, you've got the wrong guy.
"Some guys frown upon that (youth), some guys get apprehensive and nervous," Perry said in advance of Friday's camp-opening practice. "I think back to my second year in Pittsburgh (as an assistant coach), when we decided to start Troy Polamalu and Chris Hope. The year prior, those guys didn't see the field hardly at all, and Troy struggled.
"Then the next year, Bill (Cowher) said, 'Who are your two starting safeties?' And I said, 'Coach, it's time to go with Chris and Troy.' And he says, 'You're going to start Chris Hope and Troy Polamalu?' 'Yeah, we are coach. It's time.'"
Polamalu, the team's first-round pick (No. 16 overall) in 2003, went on to have the first of seven Pro Bowl seasons and is in the later stages of a potentially Pro Football Hall of Fame career. Hope, a third-round pick in 2002 who'd played in 30 games but never started, started all 16 games that year and is now with the Detroit Lions.
In Green Bay, Perry has Burnett, whom he believes is ticketed for big things. He's entering his fourth NFL season, the magical year that former Packers safeties LeRoy Butler (1993), Darren Sharper (2000) and Nick Collins (2008) all earned their first Pro Bowl nods. Jennings and McMillian, meanwhile, will start camp dead even.
Although Jennings started all nine games Charles Woodson missed last season with a broken collarbone, the two young safeties ended up playing almost the same number of snaps. Jennings played 616 snaps in 18 games (including playoffs) and finished with 51 tackles, one interception (which he returned 72 yards for a touchdown) and eight passes broken up. McMillian didn't start a game but played 614 snaps in 18 games and finished with 31 tackles, one interception and 13 pass breakups.
"We won't use youth or lack of experience as an excuse. Those guys have plenty of it – 600-some snaps apiece last year. That's plenty of snaps," Perry said. "Morgan has been here and he's still 24, still young. It's time for all those guys to step forward and be what we expect them to be."
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers is unconcerned about the youth ("I don't know if there's three younger safeties in the league at that position," he said) and firmly believes that Burnett, who's started 35 straight games (including playoffs) since he returned from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that ended his 2010 rookie season, is poised for big things.
"He's made progress each year. Smart, very coachable, from a coach's standpoint you have great confidence that he's going to be accountable and he's got playmaking ability," Capers said. "I think he's at a point in terms of being your quarterback and taking over the communication and all those kinds of things, he's confident. He's been around here for three years. He played every play last year."
The team still holds out hope that Sean Richardson, who made the team as an undrafted free agent from Vanderbilt but was lost for the season to a neck injury that he still hadn't been cleared on during organized team activity practices, has hard-hitting potential, and the only other safeties currently on the roster are practice-squadder Chaz Powell and undrafted rookie free agent David Fulton, from tiny Chowan University.
There's no such depth issue at cornerback, where the Packers have four starting-caliber players in Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Casey Hayward and Davon House. While there are questions about each player – from Williams trying to regain his 2010 form, to Shields slow start and ankle injury before his strong finish, to Hayward needing to avoid a sophomore slump as his role expands to House's apparent inability to stay healthy – there's no denying the talent at the coaches' disposal.
"We have a lot of depth, obviously. Over the past years, I don't think we had as much depth as we do now. So it's definitely going to be a good training camp, great competition," Williams said. "It's going to be something to see when training camp starts."
More interesting to see will be where everyone lines up. The assumption would be that Williams and Shields would work outside and Hayward would be the third cornerback in the nickel and cover the slot, but both Capers and cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt made it clear that they don't want to pigeonhole any of their cornerbacks. While it's true Hayward was projected as a slot corner coming out of Vanderbilt as a second-round pick a year ago, the staff believes he can play outside. House, who worked outside when he was healthy last year (nine games, including five starts) is physical enough to play inside if necessary. Williams has lined up all over the field since becoming the team's nickel corner in 2007, and Shields' speed is best suited outside but can move inside in a pinch. Although he's a safety, McMillian worked inside as the second slot cover man in dime situations last year, too.
"We're trying to work as many guys to learn the inside as we can. I think we're going to have more options, and you'll see us in training camp work more guys inside so we're prepared if we lose a player or two," Capers explained. "But that's where a guy like McMillian gives you good flexibility because he's a safety in your 'Okie' (base defense) stuff and moves to dime. Casey's played some at corner for us but he was primarily a nickel. A young guy like (rookie fifth-round pick) Micah Hyde will be interesting to see how he fits into the mix there, because I think he's an instinctive young guy."
Last season, Williams played 1,240 snaps in 18 games and allowed 63 receptions for 852 yards on 115 targets, according to ProFootballFocus.com. Opposing quarterbacks had a 77.5 passer rating when throwing against him, largely because he had just two interceptions but was charged with only two touchdowns allowed while facing opponents' top receivers each week. He claims he feels the best he has since his 2011 shoulder injury and the resulting nerve damage that left him playing one-armed for the rest of that season.
"We asked Tramon to do some things that wasn't the best for him, but that's a part of football," Whitt said. "This year, I will say this, I'm so pleased with Tramon and Tramon's going to play high-level football because we're going to allow every one of those guys in that room to do what they do best. I feel that Tramon's going to — I'm not going to say he's going to have his best year yet, but he is the least of my worries. He is the least of my worries."

Burning Question
Will Williams ever be the same?
The same question was posed here in this very space a year ago, and the jury remains out. Although Williams was better than he was in 2011, when truth be told he probably should have missed more than just one game, it's unclear whether he'll ever reach his 2010 level, when he was a shutdown cornerback and among the league's top cover men. One thing cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt has promised: Williams won't spend every game matched up on the opponent's top target, if Shields, Hayward and House show the growth he expects. If that's the case, Williams will benefit.
On the rise
Hayward received serious consideration in the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year balloting, finishing third behind Carolina's Luke Kuechly and Seattle's Bobby Wagner. Now, the coaches must decide whether he should remain on the slot receiver in the team's nickel and dime defenses or be given the opportunity to play every down as one of the team's top two cover men. That would mean bumping Williams or Shields, who came on strong late last season after missing six games with a sprained ankle. Whitt believes Hayward has the talent of a No. 1 cornerback and made it clear after the season ended that it will be an open competition for the starting jobs. Hayward could make things very interesting.
Player to watch
It's easy to forget that in the early days of training camp last year, Shields played poorly and then suffered an elbow injury, and Hayward hadn't done much of anything of note. House, meanwhile, put together back-to-back eye-catching days of practice once the pads came on and earned the starting corner job opposite Williams for the preseason opener at San Diego. Alas, a shoulder injury suffered on special teams in the second half derailed any chance he had of winning a starting job, and while he was able to come back and play in nine games (with five starts), his window for being the team's breakout player in the secondary had closed for the year. Now, fresh off offseason surgery to repair the shoulder, he could thrust himself back into the starting lineup discussion with a strong – and healthy – camp.
Key competition
Safety opposite Burnett.
The Packers could have gone one of three ways at the safety position alongside Burnett: They could have signed one of a host of free-agent veterans – Michael Huff, for example, was reportedly set to visit before signing with Baltimore; they could have picked one in a draft where safety was viewed as the deepest position across the board; or they could have stood pat with what they had. They went with Door No. 3. Thus, just as they did last year behind veteran Charles Woodson, McMillian and Jennings will battle for a job. This time, though, it's not for the quasi-starting job in the nickel defense, when Woodson would move to the slot and be replaced at safety. Rather, this is for the full-time gig next to Burnett. Both players saw 600 snaps of defensive action last year but neither distinguished himself. Give McMillian a slight edge as one of Ted Thompson's draft picks, but this battle figures to go all the way through the summer.
In a philosophical shift, Whitt has decided to give his cover guys more freedom to play how they want to play. While there will still be certain defensive calls that require specific coverage techniques, Whitt wants his guys to be put in position to make the most plays. For Williams, Whitt said, that's playing off. For Shields, Whitt said, it's press coverage. "We asked those guys for as much as possible to get up and press," Whitt explained. "(Williams) can press. (But) he gets the ball better when he's off. He makes more impactful plays from playing off. Sam makes more impactful plays being pressed. If you go back to 2010, most of (Williams') impact plays came from being off. This year, my whole mantra – and I told Dom (Capers) this -- we might give up a little more completions, but I'm going to allow them to do what they do. So you might see Tramon and Casey play off (more)."
"It's an opportunity to compete. When you look at how much M.D. and McMillian played last year, those are two young players that played a lot of snaps. I look for them to make that jump, I look for M.D. to make that second-year player jump. And I look for Jerron McMillian to make that second-year jump. It's going to be very competitive. Morgan has clearly established himself as the leader back there. His communication has been outstanding." – head coach Mike McCarthy, on the team's options at safety.
Next: Special teams.

Editor showed a biasMarch 15,2013
Editor showed a bias
In his thought-provoking opinion piece Has town meeting run its course? (March 7), Steve Pappas posits that town meetings should be eliminated. I dont agree with him on this, but thats not why Im writing. Instead, Id like to comment on the article about the Plainfield Town Meeting that appeared in the paper the day before (Plainfield voters spar over biomass plant).
Mr. Pappas was among the electorate present at Plainfields town meeting and was the person responsible for that article (although it was not attributed to him). The article was almost exclusively devoted to the lengthy biomass heating debate the meeting witnessed. (In his opinion piece, the unfortunate tone of some of that discussion is cited as an argument in favor of leaving deliberations to the privacy of the voting booth.) In 50 words or less, the news article notes that certain budget decisions were made but, aside from that, no other significant town meeting business was reported on. Instead, over 800 words were lavished on a detailed description of the contention over a non-binding resolution. It was hard not to conclude from the article that town meetings can be a waste of time.
As anyone in attendance at Plainfields town meeting knows, there were several decisions regarding matters of real significance to the town that, unfortunately, went unreported. The fact that voters decided to proceed with the repairs that are needed to re-open the Plainfield Town Hall, which has been closed for safety reasons for the past 16 months, was not mentioned in Mr. Pappass news story. (The fact that Plainfields town meeting was held in the gymnasium at Twinfield this year should have been a natural lead-in for a reporter taking note of this important community decision.) Voters also gave a green light to the Select Board to develop plans for a substantial renovation of the towns municipal building. Since both the Plainfield Town Hall and the municipal building have been reported on in The Times Argus in the recent past, one would have expected these decisions to have garnered some attention in any news story on Plainfields town meeting.
I realize that conflict makes compelling reading and sells newspapers. But I cant help but wonder if the news story Mr. Pappas wrote was slanted in a way that would bolster his follow-on critique of town meeting in general. Why else would he lavish so much attention on a non-binding resolution, and so little space to the more substantive and meaningful decisions the voters made? (The absence of drama or extended debate does not signify the absence of a thoughtful decision.) In any event, it is ironic that someone who laments what he perceives to be a lack of attention paid by voters to things like budgets and major investments in municipal facilities (which he correctly describes as the meat of any town meeting) would give those matters such short shrift in his reporting.

Every night when I feed her before bed she starts grunting and pushing. She locks her legs up and cries in pain. I thought that this would pass after 3 months but it hasn't. I know that some babies are just sensitive to different feelings in their bodies. Even after she has pooped a healthy diaper full, she will again start grunting like she has to fart. She does fart all the time. I work her legs and give her a warm bath. I am starting to go crazy because bedtime is a 3 hour process. She finally gets so tired she gives up and goes to slept but is known to wake after 45 minutes. Am trying rice cereal but think it is making it worse (only been two nights). Please help

Cannons' Rabil Runs Roughshod over Bayhawks
from press release
BOSTON -- Midfielder Paul Rabil scored a
season-high five goals, including three in the second half, and
added two assists as the Boston Cannons (2-1) erupted for a
season-high 17 goals en route to a 17-13 Major League Lacrosse
victory over the defending MLL champion Chesapeake Bayhawks (2-1)
in front of 10,727 fans at Harvard Stadium on Saturday evening.
In handing the Bayhawks their first loss of the season, the Cannons also snapped Chesapeake's six-game win streak, dating back to last season.
After the Cannons jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the opening two minutes of the first quarter, the Bayhawks answered with back-to-back goals from midfielders Steven Brooks and Kyle Dixon in a 45-second span to tie the game at 2-2.
The teams traded goals in the final five minutes of the period to tie the score at 3-3.
Led by a goal and an assist from attackman Max Quinzani, the Cannons opened the second quarter by scoring five straight goals over an eight-minute span to take a commanding 8-3 lead. Midfielder Michael Kimmel ended the Cannons' run with an unassisted goal with 6:25 remaining in the first half before Rabil tallied his second goal of the game, an unassisted marker past Chris Garrity with 5:01 left in the stanza.
With just six seconds remaining in the first half, Brooks scored his second goal of the game with a two-point tally off a feed from Danny Glading, cutting the Bayhawks' deficit to 9-6 at the intermission.
After attackman Ben Rubeor opened the third quarter with an unassisted goal, the Cannons extended their lead to 11-7 as Rabil scored twice in a 63-second span.
The teams exchanged goals twice before Quinzani scored his second goal of the game just 26 seconds into the fourth quarter, giving Boston a 14-9 cushion. But, the Bayhawks countered by scoring a pair of goals from Rubeor and Jake Deane to trim the margin to 14-11 with 9:13 left.
After the teams traded goals, the Cannons sealed the victory as Rabil and midfielder Greg Downing scored a pair of goals in a two-minute span for a 17-12 advantage.
Glading scored off a feed from midfielder Dan Hardy with 2:48 left, but the Bayhawks were unable to get any closer.
While Rabil earned Bud Light Player of the Game honors for his seven-point performance, Quinzani added a "hat trick" with three assists. Midfielder Brad Ross also had a three-goal effort in the victory for Boston.
Glading led the Bayhawks with three goals and an assist while Brooks scored twice, including a two-point goal.
The Cannons outshot the Bayhawks by a 51-39 margin and held a 32-25 advantage in ground balls.

It looks similar to American sign language. But, according to University of Hawaii researchers, this is completely different.
"We have identified a previously undocumented indigenous language of Hawaii," said UH researcher Barbara Earth.
It's called Hawaii Sign Language.
Linguists say the deaf in Hawaii started the language as far back as the 1820s. UH researchers interviewed 19 people on four different islands to learn more about HSL, as it's called for short.
In a demonstration, a woman on the left is signing American Sign Language and the woman on the right is signing Hawaii Sign Language.
As they translate different words, you can see the nuances.
"More and more signs have original Hawaii signs so the vocabulary is the biggest difference," said UH Adjunct Professor of Linguistics James Woodward. "Grammatically, it doesn't look anything like Hawaiian. Hawaiian is verb-subject-object. This language is subject-object-verb.
Linda Lambrecht is deaf. She is one of only 100 people in the world who knows HSL.
Lambrecht learned the language as a baby from her brothers who are also deaf. In fact, she is the inspiration and reason UH conducted the study.
"Over the years, it has been a concern as speakers of the language have passed away. My very close friends -- I have talked to them repeatedly," said Lambrecht. "So I was very determined and worked hard to do what I could and I am seeing the fruit of my work today so I am very happy."
These professors say this is a dying language. The people who know Hawaii Sign Language are all over 60 years old and, if not restored soon, it could go away completely.
"Oh yes. It is my dream for the future that senior citizens in Hawaii will be able to share their knowledge of Hawaii Sign Language with the young generation," said Lambrecht.
It's the first time since 1930 that a new language has been discovered in the U.S.
Researchers are hoping to put together a Hawaii Sign Language dictionary and even a course once they finish documenting the language.

Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC)
Advanced MCACC creates the optimum acoustic environment for movies and music in any room in the house. Pioneer developed the technology over 10 years ago with the help of professional recording studios. The system, complete with custom microphone and subwoofer EQ (New for 2014), automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level, and distance, and equalizes the response. Whether you're watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster or listening to high-resolution music, MCACC will make sure your home theater sounds its best.
Subwoofer EQ
Bass Re-Defined
Subwoofer EQ determines the distance and characteristics of your subwoofer, and makes adjustments using four different frequency parameters and an extremely low-latency DSP to reduce phase and timing errors that are often found in other room calibration systems.
On-Screen Overlay
OSD and GUI
If your home theater system is enclosed in a cabinet, it's often difficult to know the status of certain functions, such as current volume level. With On Screen Display (OSD), your receiver's basic information, such as volume, input, and surround mode, will overlay on screen as you make adjustments with the remote, so you don't have to switch to a blank screen background. This feature can also be disabled if you prefer. Meanwhile, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) lets you easily navigate Internet radio and iPod/iPhone contents. Both the OSD and GUI operate via HDMI.
Bluetooth Ready
The AS-BT200 Bluetooth® adapter is a simple solution for adding wireless audio to your home theater system. Using the AS-BT200, simply connect your A2DP profile Bluetooth-enabled device to the port on the back the VSX-1124 and enjoy your music wirelessly from your iPhone, Android™, PC, laptop or any other A2DP profile Bluetooth-enabled sources. AS-BT200 is sold separately

In the olden days folks who lived in the boonies didn't have many formal entertainment choices.
We could see a movie in town on shopping day, usually Saturday. The local theater kept the same movie a couple of weeks, so except for the Saturday afternoon serials (that always ended with a cliffhanger to get us back next week) we could just see the same movie again.
When "The Ten Commandments" came out, it stayed in our local movie house almost a month. It was a good movie, but by the time it left I had Moses' speech from the mountain side overlooking his peoples' debauchery memorized.
Saturday night was country dance night, and in summertime we had rodeos most weekends. The rest of the time we were on our own, which wasn't all that bad. We played cards, dominoes, marble games and, in our family, music.
There was one other entertainment — the radio.
We could only get a few stations, but after school on certain days we could hear "The Lone Ranger," and sometimes there were mystery stories on.
There was a preacher, also — Herbert W. Armstrong — who assured us with each sermon that we were headed for destruction.
There was one nifty radio station on every night. XELO, Clint, Texas. The announcer repeated, often and loud, "equis, eh, elle oh, X-E-L-O, Clint, Texas. That's C-L-I-N-T, Clint, Texas."
I learned those Spanish pronunciations of XELO and had a great time saying them often.
The reason he repeated himself so much — you could order stuff and that was the address. I learned, years later, that the station was actually across the border in Mexico, which explained its unbelievably strong signal (which never would have been allowed in our country) that carried across much of the United States.
My friend Jeff (his name is changed for his protection) grew up on a farm near Clint, which is southeast of El Paso. He says tourists from all over would come there looking for that station.
"We would point to the desert east of us and say, 'It's right over that little hill,'" he says with a laugh, "and they would disappear for days."
My brother ordered a harmonica from XELO. It worked well enough that he managed to drive our mom nuts with it for a month or so.
Jeff ordered a pen light. "I wanted to read comic books outside at night, and it actually worked — for awhile," he says.
Jeff and his friends had a lady school teacher they didn't care for, so they ordered a "love potion" and had it mailed to her. "We never found out what it was," he says with a big grin.
Truth in advertising wasn't a big deal, although they really didn't lie. A local farm lady ordered a fly killer — guaranteed to work or your money back.
This is what she got: two matching polished metal blocks about three inches wide and eight inches long, marked "A" and "B." The instruction sheet said: "Place fly on Block A. Hit with Block B."

Good As Gold
If all that glitters is gold, Phillies Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino have enough bling to go around. Both players were awarded the Rawlings Gold Glove Award in their respective positions yesterday. For the shortstop Rollins, it is his third Gold Glove in a row; for centerfielder Victorino, this makes two in a row. Rollins had only 6 errors all year, which was the best among all qualifying players. Victorino had a .997 fielding percentage, 2nd best in the NL among outfielders, and 5 assists.
On the injury front, Brad Lidge had surgery yesterday to repair his right flexor tendon as well as remove loose bodies from his elbow. It was not known before the surgery if the tendon was damaged, but it appears Lidge was worse off than anyone let on. That fact has caused quite a stir among fans who are very disappointed about the whole situation. Tell me again why Lidge was pitching with serious injuries, especially in the World Series?
But everyone must look forward now and it appears that Lidge will not be ready for the start of Spring Training. As a result, the Phillies have been reportedly looking for another / back-up closer. They need bullpen help anyway, so this is no surprise.
As for the Roy Halladay / Cole Hamels rumors, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. insists this will not happen. Again, not much of a surprise as such a trade was a long shot at best. In fact, the Jays demands are still very high, so it is possible that Halladay may not go anywhere.
Thank you everyone for the comments yesterday on this topic :O) And to clarify, I have not given up on Hamels. Odds are that he will rebound and have a better year. However, the thought of a Cliff Lee – Roy Halladay combo, two proven veterans, is an exciting thought. Think about it this way: The Phillies window to win another championship is closing. We will probably have Lee only for 1 more year as he is going to command Yankees-type money, which the Phillies historically are unwilling to pay. They may strike a deal with him, but do not hold your breath. The core of the team is intact for a while, but the pitching overall has been shaky down the stretch. If the Phillies can get a quality third baseman, improve the pen and add or develop a solid starter, they could be unstoppable in 2010. In my humble opinion, they need to toss everything, including the kitchen sink, at this 2010 team.
But sadly, the Phils do not have the payroll of many other teams; the Phillies rank 7th, which is very high, but still $88,445,143 less than the Yankees, as an example. That equals almost 4 CC Sabathia's and nearly 8 Chase Utley's. I don't know about you, but I would take 8 Chase Utley's anyday. And no, I am not jumping on the "buying a Championship" bandwagon which I hear a lot about the Yankees. I believe they still have to play the game, regardless of income. And this year, the Yanks played better than anyone else. But would an additional $88 million be a BIG boost for the Phillies or any other team…obviously, the answer is "yes."
But that is just a dream and the Phillies will need to do the best with what they have. Hopefully, that will include a few more quality pitchers.

Wow, I knew the Yankees' payroll was big, but I didn't realize it was THAT big! Of course, (as far as we know) the Phils' ownership doesn't have quite the bottomless wallet as Steinbrenner seems to have. But you're right about the window of opportunity slowly but surely getting smaller – some of the core group of starters, esp. Rollins and Utley, are no spring chickens anymore. I hope Amaro is able to work some Gillick-like magic and keep the team in contention next year.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I think the Phils will be right back in contention next year, but look for the Mets, Marlins and Braves to be strong too. It will be much more competitive I believe. As for J-Rol, too bad he didn't talk smack about getting a Gold Glove… he finally could've cashed a check his big mouth wrote🙂
Good news for Jimmy and Shane as for Lidge…still sucks to be him… any Halladay trade would be stupid, like Hamels Halladay has no guarantees, but Hamels is cheaper…. Halladay will get traded at the deadline next July, maximum income from a contender needing a pitcher, probably Yankees or Red Sox…
You meant to say quality third baseman right… or are trading Howard away…LOL history shows for the Phillies an upcoming young gun pitches excellent in his first year, Kendrick, Happ, Hamels… they should bring one of the young kids to spring training, give them a chance at a rotation spot….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Congrats to Rollins and Victorino on their GG's. Very cool that the Phillies were so well represented! Btw, I'd take Halladay if your team doesn't want him.🙂

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: When Bears Become Bulls
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Hedge fund manager John Paulson made billions betting against housing, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Wednesday. Now that Paulson's turned bullish, you should, too.
Cramer said he was shocked at how bullish Paulson was when interviewed at CNBC's Delivering Alpha conference earlier Wednesday. He said Paulson was known as one of the biggest bears betting against housing in 2008 and 2009, but now the famed fund manager told investors their best bet would be to buy a home, and their second would be to buy another one.
Paulson is now a fan of AAA-rated mortgage bonds, said Cramer, the same bonds that he despised just a few years ago. That news made Cramer reiterate his recommendations of companies such as Realogy
Cramer said he's also still a fan of Bank of America
Investors should still avoid the home builders, however, Cramer cautioned, as he's waiting to see if the most recent spike in interest rates have slowed home buying in the short term. But for the rest of the sector, it's simply too powerful to bet against.
When a sector's biggest bear becomes its biggest bull, it's time to listen, Cramer concluded.
Drinks and Snacks
What other takeaways did Cramer glean from the Delivering Alpha investor conference? He said fund manager Nelson Peltz had some of the best ideas, including PepsiCo
Cramer said while Peltz felt PepsiCo could shoot to $178 a share if it bought Mondelez, even without such a deal he's still a fan because the company has excellent management and it's clear the drink and snack combination is working well. Peltz also liked DuPont
Other guests at the conference liked Express Scripts

I'm trying to be as constructive as possible without really having enough knowledge about web design but I do know wordpress especially is ridiculously easy to do (not sure how easy it is to make it run in conjunction with the already existing forums though).
Mainly I think the front page should just be very clean and crisp and defined. Once the front end is there, getting regular content up will be great and people will be inspired to create even better stuff for such a pimp looking site, which in turn will reach greater and greater audiences.
We all know knicksonline.com is without doubt the best Knicks website on the whole internet which is pretty damn spectacular given that it's basically just a forum. Add on some gloss around it and you could have something real special.

Quebec elections a gamble for separatist partyap photo
PQ Leader Pauline Marois, left, addresses supporters as PQ candidate Clement Laberge looks on during a campaign stop in the Jean-Talon riding of Quebec City on Sunday. Elections were scheduled for Monday.
MONTREAL Quebecs main separatist party faces a possible backlash from voters Monday in elections that have revived the debate on whether the French-speaking province should break away from Canada.
That possibility now seems far off, with the Party Quebecois facing a backlash over the renewed talk of independence, an idea that has enjoyed little support in recent years.
Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, who has led a minority government since September 2012, said she called the snap National Assembly elections last month in the hopes of securing a majority needed to pass the PQs controversial charter of values, which would ban public employees from wearing religious headgear, including Muslim headscarves and Jewish skullcaps.
I am very serene at this moment. I am confident the people of Quebec will choose a good government, Marois said after she voted.
Marois had tried to mute talk of another referendum on independence. But the strategy backfired early in the campaign when one PQ candidate, multi-millionaire media baron Pierre Karl Peladeau, burst onto the scene with a fist-pumping declaration of his commitment to make Quebec a country.
That turned independence into the defining issue of the campaign, sidelining the charter of values that the PQ had hoped would electrify French-speaking voters in crucial swing regions. Supporters say the charter would protect the idea of separation of church and state, while protests against it have brought together thousands of Muslims, Jews and Sikhs.
Political experts see the PQ struggling to take control of the 125-seat legislature. Instead, the election has offered the Quebec Liberals staunch supporters of Canadian unity a shot at winning a majority just 18 months after provincial voters booted them from power for the first time in nine years.
The campaign went off the rails with the Peladeau announcement and then it has just been a matter of desperately throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks, and finding that everything has instead bounced back at them, said Daniel Weinstock, a law professor at Montreal-based McGill University.
One political cartoon summed up the dynamic: On a line graph measuring voter preference, the image of Peladeaus raised right fist directly corresponded with a drop in PQ support.
The Liberals remain haunted by allegations of corruption that tainted their nine years in power. But party leader Philippe Couillard, who opposes the charter of values, hammered away at the referendum issue and framed the election as a choice between uncertainty and stability.
The choice is clear, Couillard said during one televised debate. Do you want to elect the Parti Quebecois, which will prepare another referendum, or a Liberal government that will attend to the economy, jobs, education and health?
Michel Ratté, a retired 56-year-old resident of a Montreal suburb, voted Liberal and believes they will win a majority.
Im against separation, he said. The subject of separation came into play, and that scares people.
Eric Morin, a 49-year-old assistant cameraman in a Montreal suburb, said he reluctantly voted for the PQ because he didnt want to give too much power to the Liberals who he thinks will win a majority government. He said the PQ didnt run a good campaign.
I have nothing against a referendum, but it probably wasnt the right time. I think they concentrated on a lot of things that werent constructive, and that disappointed me, Morin said.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Did anyone see it coming, the apparent new rapport between President Barack Obama...
