I think if Ivan was planning to throw the fight he never would've gotten personally involved. He could've had one of his guild members achieve the same result without getting RT disqualified from the tournament.
We already knew that half of RT's team was fodder by Laxus' standards anyway, with Flare being weaker than Lucy while Nullpuding and Kurohebi were nothing special. Obra was an unknown factor which turned out to be a one-trick pony (would've had a better chance if he was hidden in the crowd like before) and Ivan's weakness was befitting for the weak guild he put together.
Anyway, I wanted Laxus to win and he won so I'm happy. Could've been a slightly more challenging fight but oh well. At least the rest of the competitions shouldn't have any more cheating and hopefully the tournament wont be interrupted before the dragonslayer showdown.

BTW send Ivan your regards plus some soap on a rope. I suspect he'll be in jail till arc end at the least. of the others I suspect Flare and Obra might be seen again (Unless Obra was a suit for the imp, in which case we'll see the imp instead). The others are fodder so will likely just disappear into the background.
To put what happened here simply Gajeel trolled Ivan these past 7+ years with bad info and Laxus revealed it to him by just how much. Ivan went for power counters, not power houses thus leading to his downfall. Bluenote said it best "Dont make me laugh. Even the most powerful magic is garbage in the hands of an incapable user." The moment Ivan said they where specialized to counter Fairy Tail I knew how they'd be defeated and it happened.

hmm i just realised something! .. does this mean it's going to be a natsu grey tag team? I want Natsu Grey vs Juvia Gajeel! (I was thinking Wendy Natsu VS anyone but that seems to be out now) I hope the tag team fight is a good one and not just Natsu shouting about how he can handle it himself and only teaming up as a last resort (i'm hopeing his character has grown passed that).

it seems a bit unbelievable that Laxus won so easily. yeah, we know he's got a special booster, but after all, his attacks should still be based on the Laxus from 7 years ago. Raven Tail's special techniques should have worked on him, if not everything, than a fraction of it. Of course it's great to see Laxus winning in just one chapter.... it's still a bit hard to believe. Ivan himself is a master of a guild right? how can he lost so easily? Got hit straightaway and downed like that?
I'll go for a tie in the next match too.

If you want to go back to Laxus vs Natsu, the only reason Laxus lost is because Dragonslayers have mad hax, and he was facing both Natsu and Gajeel. Double Dragonslayer hax trump solo Dragonslayer hax in every case. One on one, Laxus would have wiped Natsu as easily as he did RT. That being said, Laxus had 3 months to prepare for the tournament, and having been hovering around number 3 power wise in FT, he was due for a massive power upgrade. I'd have actually been surprised to see him lose, unless of course only one RT member had been left standing. I mean, if Erza can take on 100 monsters, one of which was said to be Wizard Saint level, then it makes sense for Laxus to have is moment.
I mean seriously, Cana gets a jaw-dropping moment, and Laxus gets smashed? What manga are we reading? Dragonball Z?

I really hope RT isn't finished for this arc because them being swept away in one chapter is incredibly unsatisfying. Also Mashima was all hyping the mysterious nature of Kurohebi and Obra's magic so it just seems strange that they would just drop out of the arc now.
As for the imp, his personality seems much too mischievous and maybe a bit sadistic for him to be Zeref. I think he more likely has some connection to Tartaros perhaps or will work RT back into the arc somehow.

Laxus trained. So as the rest of FT Team B
I do understand where you're coming from though. I mean, from the previous arc. He wasn't even able to scratch Master Hades. And now he could take out all of his father's elite mages along with his Father.
That was some heavy duty training he did

It could be possible that Jellal offered Makarov to give the same power up to other B team members as he did for A team.
That would explain how Laxus dominated Raven Tail.
But I guess it would be better that A team is power up team and B team is training team.
Power up vs. Training.
Hmm if Zeref is indeed close by then I think Natsu could how smelled him by now. He did remember how Ultear smelled and all. And for Natsu not that much time has passed since he met Zeref.

I don't disagree really about beating all of Raven Tail's mages though. That was a stretch to me indeed.

Oofa doofa, looks like someone over at naruto forums managed to translate some sketches from Volume 32, and apparently they tell of Hiro's plans for the upcoming chapters of this arc. I wanna upload them, but I wanna be safe and wait for a higher up to give me permission.
Edit: It's possible that this reveal was discussed before. I wanna see if someone already did, and also to confirm, Hiro's plans can change.

Beyond that, there's no real need to keep Lamia Scale as an extremely strong contender. The sub plot with Leon and Gray is pretty minor, and meant for humor. Mashima can afford to have them fall behind to the point where they can't contend for first. Even so, they can lose here and remain in reasonably strong contention as long as they win their tag battle, and do well in the day four competition.
Nor do I really see Fairy Tail ending the day on a downer note. They've had a sweep thus far, this basically being their big comeback day. I don't really see this stopping at this point. Especially not at the expense of Wendy losing her first 1v1 battle in the series.

If ever there was proof that what we don't know can hurt us, it's Hinkley. The small desert community, made famous 17 years ago by Erin Brockovich and her crusade to rid the town of contaminated water, is nearing extinction.
Hinkley's only school closed this spring, the natural result of falling enrollment as families leave the community. Their exodus has emptied entire neighborhoods, and Hinkley has become more and more a ghost town.
The abandoned homes and farms bring Hinkley's bleak future into sharp focus, but its troubles began more than a generation ago when neither families nor scientists understood the damage being done to groundwater by Pacific Gas & Electric Co.'s natural gas compressor station in town.
Back in the 1950s and the first half of the '60s, PG&E used a chemical called chromium-6 to protect metal parts and to kill microbes in a cooling water tower at the compressor station. The cooling water was dumped periodically into unlined pools, where it seeped into the aquifers that watered wells used by residents for drinking, bathing, household cleaning, irrigating — you name it.
Today we know that high levels of chromium-6 can be toxic to humans. Showering or swimming in tainted water can lead to inhalation of the chemical, which has been known to contribute to breathing problems and bloody noses. Drinking water with high levels of chromium-6 is believed to put some at higher risk for stomach tumors.
It seems incredible in today's world of environmental awareness that such a toxic chemical would be flushed into groundwater, but decades ago scientists and engineers didn't know any better, or didn't think much at all about any possible effects of the waste products their processes yielded.
Decades later, of course, we all found out.
The 2000 film "Erin Brockovich" told the story of the damage done in Hinkley and the town's fight to get PG&E to clean up its mess and compensate residents who blamed the contamination for health problems. The utility giant settled out of court with some 650 residents for $333 million, and says it has spent more than $800 million remediating the toxic plume beneath Hinkley — buying property from residents, replacing household water systems, drilling and operating sampling wells, settling lawsuits and, of course, paying lawyers.
Yet the plume is spreading, and those residents who have committed themselves to saving their town are worried that PG&E's efforts to reduce chromium-6 levels will damage the groundwater in other ways.
PG&E scientists and engineers are confident they've developed the safest long-term solution to chromium-6 contamination, but years of distrust within the community are not easy to overcome and facts and figures don't always assuage fears.
It's impossible to read about Hinkley's plight and avoid comparisons to other contested technologies, such as "fracking," in which a geologic formation holding natural gas deposits is hydraulically fractured to release the gas by the pressurized injection of water and chemicals.
What effect will those chemicals have on groundwater? Oil companies resist telling even the government what chemicals they use in that process — claiming the information is proprietary. How can the public be sure that the process is safe, and won't damage anyone's health in 10, 20, 30 years or more?
Requirements that companies must divulge the composition of their "well stimulation fluids" to state regulators — such as those contained in state Senate Bill 4, by Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Calabasas — must be enacted. And there must be strong rules in place for handling those fluids.
The folks in Hinkley know the importance of this kind of transparency. The story of their town's demise, in these days of innovation in the pursuit of alternative forms of energy, is a reminder to balance progress with protecting the health and well-being of our people and their communities.

Everything will be Reversed with a Trump Presidency
11/6/16 "If you supported me in '08, and if you supported me in '12 and if you think that I've done a good job, if you believe Michelle has done a good job, everything that we've done over the last eight years will be reversed with a Trump presidency. Everything will be sustained and built on with a Hillary Clinton presidency."

New Florida Poll: 28% of GOP Early Voters Back Clinton
11/2/16 A new Florida poll has Hillary Clinton winning the state by 48%-40% over Donald Trump. The key finding in the poll, which surveyed early voters, shows Clinton winning a stunning 28% of the Republicans who have already voted. The poll, conducted by Target Smart and William and Mary, was previewed last night on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. The poll has Clinton up 55% to 43% among early voters. Trump edges Clinton 43% to 42% among Floridians who have not yet cast their ballots. The prevailing wisdom suggests that Donald Trump cannot win the presidency without winning Florida. If this poll is correct, game over?
Trump Foundation Not Legally Certified to Solicit Funds
9/30/16 Donald Trump, in running the Trump Foundation, has failed to take care of one the most basic responsibilities of any charity. He has neglected to register his foundation with the State of New York so that he can legally solicit funds from New Yorkers. New York requires any charity that solicits more than $25,000 from the public to submit to an annual financial audit that includes the question of whether the charity used any of its funds for the personal benefit of its officers. Earlier reports indicated that Trump had used Foundation funds for a political gift, t0 buy paintings of himself and to settle legal disputes for his business enterprises.
NY Times Calls on Hillary to Cut Ties to Clinton Foundation
8/30/16 "The Clinton Foundation has become a symbol of the Clintons' laudable ambitions, but also of their tangled alliances and operational opacity. If Mrs. Clinton wins, it could prove a target for her political adversaries. Achieving true distance from the foundation is not only necessary to ensure its effectiveness, it is an ethical imperative for Mrs. Clinton."
NYC's Top Cop Police Doubts Trump as "Law & Order Candidate"
We're all about reducing fear with concrete proposals, ideas that will work, not exploiting the fear with rhetoric and platitudes. I'm not familiar enough with what is behind his statement that he is the 'law-and-order candidate.' What is he proposing? What is his experience? What are his ideas? I just don't know. I haven't heard any.
New York Police Chief Bill Bratton expressing his skepticism about Donald Trump and his claim to be the "law and order candidate" Bratton has previously said that Trump "scares the hell out of me."
Emails Show Ties between Clinton Foundation and Clinton State Department
8/11/16 Hillary Clinton is very fortunate. Were it not for Donald Trump's near daily insane statements—the latest a not-so-veiled suggestion to assassinate Clinton—the revelation of State Department emails showing a relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton State Department would be the lead campaign story. The emails, released as a result of a lawsuit by Judicial Watch appear to show Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band asking aides to Secretary Clinton for favors on behalf of donors to the Foundation. Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin dismissed Judicial Watch as a "right-wing organization" on the attack since the 1990s against the Clintons and stressed that Hillary Clinton "never took action as secretary of state" because of Clinton Foundation donations. Maybe so, but without the focus on Trump's daily rants, the potentially damaging story would lead the headlines.
GOP Security Experts Denounce Trump
From a foreign policy perspective, Donald Trump is not qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief. Indeed, we are convinced that he would be a dangerous President and would put at risk our country's national security and well-being…Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President. He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world. He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary.
–From a letter signed by 50 national security officials who have worked in Republican administrations
Susan Collins—I will not be voting for Donald Trump
8/9/16 Maine's Republican Senator Susan Collins wrote yesterday that she cannot support her party's presidential nominee. Collins lamented Trump's "unsuitability for office" citing "his disregard for treating others with respect, an idea that should transcend politics." Three campaign incidents ultimately led to her decision. She was appalled by the way Trump mocked a reporter with a disability, by Trump's attack on the Mexican heritage of the judge in the Trump University case and by the candidate's criticism of the Gold Star parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, an American Muslim who died saving others in Iraq. Collins also feared that Trump's temperament, his "lack of self-restraint and his barrage of ill-informed comments would make an already perilous world even more so."

Yale Faces Dartmouth, First-Place Harvard
Yale Game Notes | Dartmouth Game Notes | Harvard Preview
Yale Statistics | Dartmouth Statistics | Harvard Statistics
Yale Basketball On Facebook | Yale Basketball On Twitter
Video: Ivy League Digital Network
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Bulldogs took care of business at home last weekend, sweeping Columbia and Cornell. Now Yale heads out on the road, facing Dartmouth on Friday and first-place Harvard on Saturday. Tipoff on both nights is slated for 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs (9-9, 3-1 Ivy) enter the weekend tied with Brown in second place in the Ivy League, one game behind Harvard and one game in front of Dartmouth and Columbia.
Yale continues to focus on getting to the basket. In their first four league games, the Bulldogs have gotten to the free throw line 146 times (36.5 times per game), while their opponents have shot 90 free throws. Sophomore Justin Sears is a big reason why. Sears was 16-of-19 from the line in the two wins last weekend on his way to earning Ivy League Co-Player of the Week recognition. Sears, who is fourth in the league in scoring (15.3 ppg.) and rebounding (6.7 rpg.), averaged 16.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in the sweep of Columbia and Cornell. Sears leads the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots (29). Javier Duren (13.4 ppg.) also is averaging double figures in scoring.
While the main focus remains on the race for the Ivy title, there is a milestone within reach this weekend. James Jones, the Joel E. Smilow, Head Coach of Men's Basketball, has 199 career victories, all while guiding the Bulldogs. He would be only the second coach in school history to reach 200 wins and just the fourth coach to win 200 or more games at an Ivy League school.
One Game At A Time – Harvard is the prohibitive Ivy League favorite, has received a bunch of national media exposure and is off to a 4-0 league start. The Bulldogs, though, can't afford to focus on the Crimson until after Friday's game at Dartmouth.
Defend – The Bulldogs were solid defensively for most of last weekend's sweep of Columbia and Cornell. Yale held the Lions to 35.9 percent shooting from the field and then limited Cornell to 31.8 percent in the first half. The Big Red, though, shot 54.5 percent in the second half and nearly rallied to win. The Bulldogs need a solid 80 minutes of defense this weekend.
Make Free Throws – Yale has been outstanding at getting to the free throw line through the first four Ivy League games. The Bulldogs, though, are shooting just 63.7 percent once they get there.
• Javier Duren scored 19 points, seven of which came in the final five minutes, in last Saturday's victory over Cornell. In addition, Duren was 12-of-15 (.800) from the free throw line in the two games last weekend.
• Matt Townsend shot 66.7 percent (6-of-9) from the field last weekend. In the win over Columbia he scored 11 points in 29 minutes.
Yale has won five of the last six meetings with Dartmouth. The two teams split the season series last year, with Dartmouth winning 71-62 in Hanover and Yale taking the game in New Haven 78-67. Matt Townsend averaged 11.5 points in the two games last year. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 107-95.
Yale and Harvard are playing for the 189th time. The Bulldogs have more wins (115) over the Crimson than any other opponent. Harvard swept the season series last year, winning a pair of close games. The Crimson knocked off the Bulldogs 67-64 in Cambridge and 72-66 at Lee Amphitheater. Justin Sears averaged 12.0 points in the two games.
The Big Green (9-9, 2-2 Ivy) is coming off a big weekend. Dartmouth beat Penn 67-58 last Friday and then won a 78-69 overtime thriller over Princeton on Saturday. Junior John Golden, who averaged 17 points and shot 60 percent from the field in the sweep, was named the Ivy League Co-Player of the Week, sharing the honor with Yale's Justin Sears. The Big Green is without the services of leading scorer Gabas Maldunas, who suffered a season-ending injury in practice a few weeks ago. Connor Boehm (10.9 ppg.) and Alex Mitola (10.4 ppg.) average double figures in scoring.
The Crimson, who host Brown on Friday night, has won 19 straight games in Lavietes Pavilion dating back to last season, the sixth longest home win streak in the NCAA. Harvard's 17-3 record is the third best in program history behind only the 1945-46 team which began 19-1 and the 2011-12 squad which opened 21-2. The Crimson lead the Ivy League in scoring defense (60.7 ppg.), field goal percentage (.463), blocked shots (104) and steals (166) and is second in scoring offense (73.7 ppg.) and free throw percentage (.736). Wesley Saunders, a unanimous All-Ivy League first team selection a year ago, entered the weekend ranked in the Ancient Eight's top 10 in nine categories; scoring (5th, 15.2 ppg), assists (3rd, 3.9 apg), steals (1st, 2.3 spg), blocks (8th, 0.9 bpg), field goal percentage (10th, 49.2 pct.), free throw percentage (6th, 78.8 pct.), assist-to-turnover ratio (5th, 1.5), defensive rebounds (10th, 3.9), minutes (5th, 33.2 min.).

What's scarier than witches, zombies and werewolves?
Spending too much money on a Halloween costume. A survey conducted by the National Retail Federation found that Americans will spend $2.6 billion on ensembles for their families this year.
While that's good news for the economy, it also means a lot of us are being tricked, not treated. Retailers know you and your family want to look the part this year, and they're betting you'll hand over the big bucks to do it.
Don't get bamboozled. Here's how to stick to a budget as you dress your family for All Hollow's Eve.
Stores are rolling out the deals this week to get you shopping for costumes. If you wait until a few days before Halloween, the sales will probably be over and the selections will be scarce.
I usually make my own costumes, which I'll elaborate on in a moment, but there are always those little things like face paint and wigs that are sometimes necessary to buy in stores. Rite Aid and Walgreen's have costume accessories for 25 percent off this week.
Whenever I see a family walking into a pop-up Halloween shop I want to yell out, "stop!" Do you really want to spend $80 for a costume that cost $5 to manufacture?
The best costume shops are thrift stores. They're retro, unique and the clothes will not fall apart as quickly as that costume stuff. Have an idea of what you want to dress up as before you head in there, unless you want to spend 12 hours picking through the racks.
If you're feeling uninspired, try some Google searches first. Tourists, scarecrows, hippies and zombies are all easy costumes to make from second-hand clothing.
Another great way to save money is to have a swap party. Invite your kids' friends and their parents over and ask them to bring old costumes. Most of them will have stockpiles of old dress-up clothes that nobody has worn in years.
Plus, you can combine pieces of different costumes to create a whole new outfit.
It pays to get creative. If you take the time to make costumes with your kids, you're not just saving money, you're making memories they'll have for years to come.
Coming up: Next week, I'll tell you how to find decorations, candy and pumpkins at prices so good they'll make your hair stand up.

The City of Laurie is pursuing a grant and donations on a couple of community enhancement projects.
The City of Laurie is pursuing a grant and donations on a couple of community enhancement projects.
The board of aldermen is getting a cost estimate for engineering work from city engineering firm Bartlett & West on a large sidewalk project that would loop through the city. The engineering services would determine a realistic scope of work and cost estimate to apply for a Missouri Department of Transportation enhancement grant.
Sidewalks and bike paths are the highest priority among the city enhancement committee's proposed projects due to their appearance and functionality, according to committee chair Ron Holtz.
"Connectivity" is the key idea behind the project, he said.
While the committee is developing a master plan for sidewalks and bike trails, they are now proposing a plan primarily for a sidewalk loop through the heart of the city. The proposed path would run along Hwy. 5 from around Dollar General to Central Bank then loop it down Route O to Laurie Care Center and back into the Hillbilly Fairgrounds. The path would then go through the fairgrounds to connect to the beginning of the loop in the Dollar General area.
With help from the Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Governments, the committee is working on an application for the grant to complete as much of this loop as possible but are now needing more specific information. They are currently looking to apply for a $500,000 grant that would require a 20 percent match either monetary or through in-kind work from the city, according to Holtz.
A Lake of the Ozarks West sign is the other big project the committee is working on.
A site has been selected on the east side of Hwy. 5 just south of the Shrine of St. Patrick Catholic Church.
According to Holtz, the landowner has verbally agreed to sell a 25'x50' section of property to the city for the sign.
The proposed sign would be similar to the Lake of the Ozark sign recently erected on the east of the lake off the Hwy. 54 Expressway.
With a smaller hillside, the Westside sign would be about half the sign with lettering around 4 feet tall. The sign is to have multi-color lighting capability as well.
With land procurement, sign and concrete expenses, the project is estimated to cost between $50,000-$60,000.
The committee is taking on the task as a donation-only project. Mark Shellenberg of Central Bank is heading up fundraising with local businesses. Monetary donations will be funneled into the city's account and the city will pay the expenses.
Mayor Herb Keck called the sign a "community pride project."

The $789 billion federal economic stimulus package signed into law in February, 2009, included a tax provision for motorhomes that is now set to expire as the year ends.
For the remainder of the calendar year, tax provisions under the stimulus package allow for sales and excise tax deductions for new purchases of qualified motor vehicles, including motorhomes. The deductions are attributable to taxes applying to the first $49,500 of the purchase price. Individuals with an adjusted gross income of up to $125,000 and joint filers with an adjusted gross income of up to $250,000 are eligible for the deduction.
When the calendar year ends on December 31, the tax credit will no longer apply.

Welcome to Radio Feedback, Radio.com's weekly feature where we ask artists to wax nostalgic on the first time they heard themselves on the radio.
"We were just a garage band that got lucky that our first record became something far-reaching," Taylor Hanson told Radio.com. "We've spent the last 16 years continuing to do that, and 'MMMBop' is a big part of that story,"
It was nearly impossible to go anywhere the summer of 1997 and not hear Hanson's "MMMBop" on the radio. The song lead to three GRAMMY nominations for Hanson, including Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocal. At age 12, drummer Zac Hanson became the youngest GRAMMY-nominated songwriter ever.

Fanning inspires look at 5 great child actresses
LOS ANGELES -- Elle Fanning does some incredible work as a teenager caught up in the anti-nukes activism of 1960s London in the new coming-of age drama "Ginger & Rosa."
This latest, greatest performance is part of a career she's carved out for herself at only age 14, with previous impressive roles in films including "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," ''Super 8" and "Somewhere." (Must be in the DNA: Her older sister, Dakota Fanning, is also talented and experienced well beyond her 19 years with an eclectic mix of films ranging from "War of the Worlds" and the "Twilight" movies to "Hounddog" and "The Runaways.")
So in a year in which "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star Quvenzhane Wallis became the youngest-ever best-actress nominee at the Academy Awards at only 9, here's a look at five great child actresses:
•Shirley Temple: The original. What precocious little girl hasn't watched Temple singing and dancing to "On the Good Ship Lollipop" and thought to herself: "That looks like fun -- I want to do that too"? Of course, we all couldn't do it because she had that rare "thing" -- that spark, that zest, that glow. She also worked her butt off perfecting her craft at a very young age -- she started dancing and appearing in short films at 3 and making features at 5 -- but she made childlike charm and enthusiasm look effortless. By 6, she'd already won an Academy Award -- a special juvenile honor, but still. She then went on to make dozens of films over a three-decade career and remains arguably the greatest child star ever. What has your kid done today?
•Elizabeth Taylor: In her early, family-friendly films such as "Lassie Come Home" and especially "National Velvet," Taylor had a startling and mature beauty for someone her age. Something about her aura radiated a grace and sophistication well beyond her years. Those mesmerizing eyes, that luxurious dark hair and flawless skin. It was as if she never went through the sort of awkward pre-adolescent stage the rest of us endured. She made her first film, "There's One Born Every Minute," at age 10. You guys know what happened from there: triumph, heartache, three Academy Awards, multiple marriage, superstardom.
•Jodie Foster: As she said in her rambling speech at this year's Golden Globes, she's been in the public eye since age 3. Now at 50, the two-time Oscar winner is a great example of remaining strong and vital throughout the transition from child stardom to adulthood. Foster had confidence and swagger from her earliest days -- it's evident even in something silly like a guest appearance on "The Partridge Family." In 1976 alone, in a demonstration of her great range, she played two very different kinds of kids: Iris, the world-weary prostitute, opposite Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's brilliant and disturbing "Taxi Driver," and Annabel, the quick-witted tomboy who finds she's magically switched bodies with her mother in the Disney comedy "Freaky Friday."
•Kirsten Dunst: She started modeling and appearing in commercials when she was only a few years old, but her breakout role at age 12 was playing the adorably creepy vampire Claudia opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in "Interview With the Vampire." Great choices from there have included Sofia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides" and "Marie Antoinette," Michel Gondry's dreamlike "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the kitschy cheerleader comedy "Bring It On." Playing Mary-Jane in the "Spider-Man" trilogy probably didn't hurt. But she was excellent -- and deserved an Oscar nomination -- for her haunting work as a depressed bride in Lars Von Trier's "Melancholia." (She also has a movie opening this weekend, the sci-fi romance "Upside Down.")
•Abigail Breslin: She was one of the youngest-ever Oscar nominees at age 10 for her charming, vulnerable and ultimately inspiring performance as awkward pageant contestant Olive in the crowd-pleasing indie "Little Miss Sunshine." But she made an impression even earlier than that when she made her film debut at just 5 in M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs." Her varied work has ranged from the star-studded romantic comedy "Definitely, Maybe" to the heart-tugging "My Sister's Keeper" to the horror comedy "Zombieland" to the musical drama "Janie Jones," which showed off her singing and guitar-playing talents. (Like Fanning and Dunst, Breslin has a new movie in theaters this weekend, too: the thriller "The Call.") And she's only 16 now -- it's all out there in front of her.

Another Governator?
Team Cuomo's premature leaking of their preference for privatization provided a precarious preview of the practice of politics applied to problem-solving for New York racing.
All the Governor's horses and all the Governor's men still haven't put the New York Racing Assn. together again. At least, the executive order that officially reorganizes the NYRA and makes the search for a new chief executive possibly has been issued.
Presumably, Team Cuomo's next encounter with the press will address shorter-term problems and display more of the increased competence and decreased corruption that was promised during their premeditated displacement of their predecessors.
It occurred to me while watching "'Ahnold's' "60 Minutes" interview Sunday night that racing seems to turn governors into "Governators." In 2009, Hollywood's imaginary "Terminator" signed a bill increasing takeout on exotic wagers at California tracks.
The bill had been pushed through the legislature by his CHRB Board appointees who literally dismissed prepared statistical testimony by horseplayers and California's chief executive either preferred casinos to fill the state's coffers or was looking for Native American PAC money, or both.
'"We're going to be putting a new board in place to basically take control, and then how you do the business of quote-unquote horse racing and what is racing in the future, and how do you really incorporate all the knowledge and potential of the entertainment industry, which is a big component of this, is something we're working through," Cuomo said.
... Cuomo said he was not necessarily pushing for the racetracks to be put in private hands.
"I'm not really a horse racing expert," he said. "I don't know this industry especially well. The point of the exercise of appointing the board is to do the study and the research to answer that question."'
At most venues, privatization might be a valid alternative, but not so Saratoga Racecourse which is itself a museum of racing, a bastion of American tradition, and the source of fond memories that millions of life-long racing enthusiasts have, will take with them to their final resting place after, hopefully, passing their passion to the next generation.
Saratoga also is the centerpiece of a vital community and cultural center that most rational people would protect and preserve for future generations, not to mention an economic engine for that region. The big-picture profit motive, however, is not always compatible with such objectives.
Belmont Park, home of the too-often irrelevant Belmont Stakes, is also a scenic setting that would merit preservation if its sprawling surroundings capable of supporting the capacity crowds (100,000+) of Triple-Crown attempts, could attract them in years where the same horse doesn't win both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
Most telling is that -- even hosting six Breeders' Cup Preps on the sixth best day of racing, nationally -- attracted fewer than 9,000 on-track patrons. Belmont's residential community offers little to entice patrons from getting right back on the parkway.
OTBs, ADWs, alternative forms of gambling, the inconvenience/cost of getting to the track and the emergence of large-screen HDTVs that outperform binoculars have all negatively impacted Belmont attendance. Aqueduct faces the same problems but must also contend with weather/temperature variables.
Now it's the second-class treatment of horse racing's customers as compared with those of Genting's clientele. Is profitability even a possibility while maintaining two physical plants ten miles apart without VLT revenue?
People are getting tired of hearing endless generalities but no specifics as to how racing will be promoted as a downstate entertainment destination. At some point the reality has to set in that the downstate track(s) must embrace the off-track customer to survive.
The NYRA can provide the product necessary to be the most entertaining venue – on-track and off – if it will start catering to recreational rather professional/high-volume bettors.
The new NYRA must take the lead by lowering direct takeout sufficiently that all customers are attracted to compete on a level playing field. It must then publicize who some of the winners are, and how they won. Promote socializing among players and support groups of fans of consistent winners.
The component combinations comprising each exotic IRS signer should be available for on-line viewing, and willing winners interviewed as to what thought processes were involved. Demystify winning and enable others to share and enjoy the experience; even if only vicariously. Some progress has been made in this area but much more is needed.
Create player partnerships that legally enable tax liability to be distributed among partners. Providing this service to NYRA account holders betting on-line would provide a competitive advantage to NYRA and grow customer interest substantially. Providing such a service to on-track patrons meeting for the first time could also augment couples handicapping contests for singles. Handicapping can be great entertainment as an activity done on one's own but even more entertaining as part of a group.
Do something!
On Monday, New York's "Governator" signed the bill giving state appointees "temporary" control of the NYRA board for the next three years as reported in the Times Union '"Because it isn't just reporters who have deadlines, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed the legislation laying out the reorganization of the New York Racing Association, including the creation of a control board that will place NYRA in state hands for the next three years. The bill had to be signed by midnight.
We still don't know who the appointees to the board will be — though those names will be coming "in the near future," according to the governor's news release.
… "New York State's racing industry is a major economic driver in the state, supporting thousands of jobs and attracting tourists from around the world," Governor Cuomo said. "New York taxpayers and the betting public deserve a racing industry that is managed competently and does not neglect the health and safety of the horses.
"The NYRA Reorganization Board will restore public trust, accountability, and transparency to the racing industry in our state, so New York can continue to offer one of the most exciting, enjoyable, safe horse racing experiences in the nation. "'
The piece went on to quote several powerful legislative leaders who will be involved in making appointments to this "Reorganization Board."
The wagons are circling. Is filing one's tax return at the last minute the equivalent of the Governor's eleventh-hour heroics after more than three months had elapsed since the bill was passed?
Procrastination without production has been known to precede prevarication. Team Cuomo's priority should be "restoration" of transparency.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
I ran across an obstacle with a dealer's Facebook page the other day. They were heavily supporting the local chapter of the March of Dimes and had some great pictures and videos compiled by the staff. None of this was on their website, Facebook page, or anywhere in their social media presence.
"We aren't doing it for the exposure. We're doing it for the charity," he said.
When we do good things, it's in our nature to want to feel like we're doing these things for the benefit of the recipient rather than for some self-serving reasons. Most do not like to "toot their own horn" about the good things they do in the community and within society in general. Doing so sours the experience and makes us feel like we're not properly motivated.
This couldn't be further from the truth within a dealership environment. Showing support doesn't end when the check is written. There is exposure for the charity, awareness of the cause, and the influence as a community leader that comes into play. For these and other reasons, dealers who "hide" their good deeds are doing a disservice to those they're trying to help.
Sharing exposure is good for everyone involved. If, as in the case of the March of Dimes dealer described above, you're goal is to help raise money through an event, then the dealership and the charity benefit from getting the word out as much as possible. This should be put on the website, blasted out multiple times through social media, and be very visible within the store itself.
Exposure helps to get people to know what's going on. They can't help out by donating themselves if they don't know where or how to donate.
After the event is over, some say that it's time to stop posting (if they were posting from the start). Posting pictures, videos, or stories describing the event and the charity around it seems like "tooting" since the time to donate is over. This couldn't be further from the truth.
There are two primary tools that charities can use: money and awareness. Just because you're done with the money component doesn't mean that you shouldn't participate in raising awareness after the event. Dealers should latch on and increase the publicity levels of the charity well after the checks are cashed and they've moved onto the next event.
This is arguably the most beneficial of the three primary reasons to expose your dealership's participation with charities. If you're dealership is doing business right, you're already a leader in the community. If the dealership is new or hasn't done things right for the community in the past, these charitable events are a great way to get started.
As a dealership, your influence in the community can be strong. People can look up to you as a strong local supporter of the community. Businesses can look up to you as an example to follow. When you're leading by example and getting involved in the community or through charities, you have the opportunity to inspire others to do the same thing.
At that point, you're not just a business. You're a leader.
* * *
Post your activities regardless of how "self-promotional" they seem. If your dealership is operating from a sincere perspective, you're doing more harm than good by hiding what you're doing in the community.

That's a great way to put it J.D.!
Thanks Diane!
Cathy and Dan, perhaps the best argument to make with reluctant owners is to point out that Facebook is loaded with meaningless crap, pictures of cats and bacon-wrapped everything. Any time there's an opportunity to turn a portion of the 1 billion eyes that focus on Facebook towards a good cause, a meaningful endeavor, than it's not just an option to share good deeds. It's a responsibility.
The owner I work for has been a huge charitable giver since the 80's when he opened up. He is the same way, not a horn tooter. I have made it my job to toot his horn for him. He still tries to hide stuff from me! He does so many great things for the community. I'll take pics etc when I can and make mention on social media (cause that's where I work). Even if the wording is like, .."today we did this or that or Mr. Robinson provided this for that"...then I might even say something like, "and it's a good thing I was there, cause he wouldn't have said a word!" He does so many good things for the community & I'm glad they have me to speak up for them because they are happy to never tell.
Funny, I was just speaking about this with my boss the other day when trying gain support for my movember team. If we had one or two people participate at each location and do a donation match (with a cap) I felt it would be great way to raise awareness and show our support, through putting it our sites, social, newletters and more,and raise more money towards movember than if we didn't participate and donation match. I got the " we don't do charity for recognition " you referenced here JD. Still working on it and hopefully that I get some of my Colonial men to join up, there is still time. I am forwarding this article. Thanks JD!
What an awesome article, very thought provoking! Thanks for taking the time to post.
Thanks Tom and Meaghan. I hadn't thought of that one, Tom.
Great article JD!!!
JD, the title of this post nearly through me off, but I really got into the article. I might add that some dealers fear that if they publicize their charitable contributions, they will be beseiged with requests. But you make some excellent points as to why that publicity actually helps the cause more than just the dealer's money. You're right; it's leadership. Thank you!

I haven't been posting much on Shana III lately, but I have been enjoying it a lot. I've been waiting for these new (or reintroduced after a long absence) major characters to grow on me a bit before trying to make a full assessment of them. Also, Shana III's overarching war narrative is a bit unlike anything I've seen in the Shana anime before. So much so that it almost feels like I'm watching an entirely different anime, and hence I've been trying to square in my mind how this new identity that the Shana anime has crafted for itself ties into what came before.
I'm still having a hard time squaring that, and this still feels like an almost entirely different anime to me than the previous Shana anime shows, but I know this much: I like this anime, and it's worth talking about.
Rebecca Reed has done a superb job of taking up where Margery Daw left off. She's a great high-energy, high-octane protagonist. That being said, I hope we do see Margery again at some point.
Khamsin's personality makes for a nice contrast with Rebecca's, and his Super Robot-esque big giant weapon of mass destruction is simply loads of fun.
This brings me to one area where Shana III does a good job of tying into what came before: The action scenes.
I truly love how the Shana series/trilogy handles action scenes. Very explosive, typically fast, often unpredictable, and sometimes pretty creative.
I do like how one-on-one standoffs in Shana don't go on endlessly, but rather progress simultaneously with other exciting showcased conflicts and/or end after a quick and impressive fight. This variety of combat helps to ensure that the action scenes always come across as dynamic, engaging, and exciting. Shana's action scenes, and their quality/consistency, has become a real trademark for the series, and a major part of its overall appeal.
Now, going back to the overarching war a bit, I'm relieved to see the Flame Hazes mount an impressive counterattack. A few episodes back, I felt that Bal Masque's domination was becoming a bit excessive, and hence draining a bit of drama and suspense form the conflict. As such, it's great to see the advantage in this war shift back-and-forth, making it more interesting for me.
I'm still not sure how I feel about Sophie Sawallisch and her immediate allies, but their scenes are good ones, starting to match (if not surpass) the Bal Masque scenes in this episode and the last. Bal Masque really was carrying this show for awhile, I felt, so it's good to see the Flame Haze side gain greater prominence and appreciable characterization in recent episodes.
All-told, it certainly makes for a fun-filled and often thrilling viewing experience. I continue to hope, though, that the more human side of the players involved come a bit more to the forefront soon. In particular, I hope that we don't have to wait too much longer for Yuji to reveal his grand plan (whatever it is), and I hope that we see Shana (and other former allies/friends of Yuji) truly reflect deeply on whatever it is, and not make a knee-jerk response to it (one way or the other).
In any event, 9/10 for this episode, which was my rating for Episode 9 as well. For simply providing a pleasing half-hour of entertainment, Shana continues to be one of the very best anime shows for me.

Fecor was probably the strongest out of the ones left behind, but he had the terrible misfortune of facing someone with an anti-magic sword. How is a mage supposed to beat someone with magic immunity?

The main reason was because their base was impossible to invade/find, in the hundreds or even thousands of years the Flame Hazes had never been able to find them- with that level of confidence there was no reason to leave any real firepower behind.
All the strongest names are either with Yuuji or on the two war fronts- as we can see how much they were pushing back the Flame Haze Army.

You put in words my very own thoughts. I like this SnS much more than the previous 2 seasons, even though I enjoyed Season 1 very much.

It just keeps on getting better and better each week. Love the cast, they are truly shining through their roles, the action is just that pure action. Truly it has left a fine impression on me already and is a fine way to go out for the series.
The short New Year interlude might actually be welcome in this season's case as it will give us all a chance to catch our breath and recover for the ride will surely be faster afterwards.

The one thing I have to say about this episode and this season in general is that the overall direction of the show has a very strong sense of confidence -- like they know exactly what they're doing, where they're going, and nothing's going to stand in their way. That's not just reflected in Shana's growing attitude, but just the way everything comes together. A lot of people were concerned in the early days that it was a bit confusing and that the transition from the last season was a bit rough, but I feel like the show is only continuing to build more and more with each week as the pieces are starting to fall together on what's going on and why. It's sort of like my feeling as a viewer has mirrored Shana's attitude a bit -- first a bit lost/confused/tentative, then waiting as things built up, and now increasingly confident in where things are heading. The destination of the show is in sight. This is a sense of confidence that got lost a little bit in the middle of the overall story as themes of adolescence, romance, and major decisions were explored. I still liked those parts of the story, but there's no question that there is something much more powerful propelling this season forward. And yeah, it feels great.
Incidentally, as with all all past seasons, the show will be taking a one week break over the New Year holiday. I'm starting to wonder if the show will end this "cour" with a sense of resolution, or on a cliffhanger note. It seems like we're working towards a resolution to this part of the plot, but I'm sure a twist is coming. Time will tell...

By my observation, the general reaction to Shana III has been quite harsh. It's interesting to note that both the second and third seasons have managed to polarize viewers, albeit for different reasons. Those who were fine with both S1 and S2 tend to hate S3, whereas S2 detractors seem much happier with S3 so far.
Suffice it to say, novel fans and viewers who are invested in the universe/overarching story seem to be happiest. Casual viewers, however, criticize the slow pace at which the story is unfolding (the flow has completely changed since the writers are presenting a condensed version of the source instead of creating their own narrative and sequence of events) and are particularly displeased with how Shana has been portrayed. I suspect that they also miss the previous focus on the two leads.
I suppose there's no winning approach to adaptation, except in cases where the source has been designed with anime in mind.

after all, it has been many years since Shana left the palace. They don't need to use it anymore to nurture a young Flame Haze.

And actually Wilhelmina did commented the Flame Hazes around the world (as Hildergard) that she was planning an incursion to destroy the Seireiden and rescue the Flame-haired-blazed-eyed Hunter. But everyone were afraid that her plan may not work as it was to lead their forces directly to the enemy lines, Bal Masque could have been told of the passage and put a set up for the unfortunate Flame Hazes. Nevertheless, the Commander (Sophie) did sent her a lot of help, Khamsin 'The Destructor' who is one of the oldest and strongest soldiers. As it was a complete sucess, she launched the Operation Calm over the Denizen's weakened army.
Reviewing this episode and the whole season that we have been enjoying so far, I had the certain fear that after the Yuji and Shana fight at the very beginning of the serie, it may start decreasing it strenght and emotion. Guess I was wrong since even with Shana remaining powerless for half a dozen of episodes, the directors still managed ot keep the energy up and at the same time introduce many characters that have become memorable, as if they have been there since season one. They have done a wonderfull job addaptating the novel and fixing up the mistakes of season 2.
So far I think that there have been more deaths at the Denizen's side than at Flame Haze's. I hope the author end this up and let the bad guys have their moment of shine. At the same time, I can't wait to see Yuji meeting Shana again, after realizing her feelings and finding herself, I want to see which kind of argument she will use to try to get him back and 'save him'. As well as the Shinku, Hien, Shinban, Danzai in action.
This episode can only be matched in energy by Ep. 4.

I can care less about the novels at all. The anime has proven that it rocks with a carefully planned pacing and awestruck action scenes.
The conclusion to this episode is an example of that. Shana little by little was recovering her HAXX-strength, as she was questioning herself about what is strength to her.
Her damsel in distress predicament was a need in the plot to prevent uneventful development being thrown out of the blue, but now that she's climbed her way up from the bottom the Red-Eyes, Flaming-Hair, Hunter is back in the neighborhood doing what she does best: slashing Tomogara butt.
And, the best pic for the conclusion to this episode is Shana in Phoenix Mode gathering her surrounding allies towards the last confrontation against Yuuji and Bal Masqué, which made her so GAR to me.

Sometimes you have to do a little tinkering with something to keep perfecting it. That's been true with a number of agricultural technology innovations, and it's also been the case with cotton yield monitors.
Ag Leader Technology Inc. introduced its first cotton yield monitor, the PF3000 monitor, and implemented the feature into the PFadvantage monitor. Now the Ames, Iowa-based precision agriculture company has added its cotton yield monitor to its new Insight display capabilities.
"We have taken our years of cotton yield monitoring experience and rolled them into the Insight display to provide the cotton grower with the most advanced cotton yield monitor system on the market," said David King, marketing manager for Ag Leader Technology.
Year-round tool
"The addition of the cotton yield monitor means the Insight display is now a complete year-round precision farming tool for the cotton grower," says Henry Moody, a product engineer with Ag Leader.
Moody joined Ag Leader last year after completing graduate work with John Wilkerson, the University of Tennessee engineering professor who led the team that developed many of the components now in use on cotton yield monitor systems.
The latest Insight display features SeedCommand for control of planting operations, DirectCommand for both granular and liquid application, yield monitoring and AutoSteer with an interface to the Trimble AgGPS Autopilot system.
SeedCommand features AutoSwath, which automatically controls the Tru Count planter clutches. The clutches control the seed meter drive from the planter transmission, enabling planter sections to be turned on and off automatically based on already planted areas or areas designated not to plant.
Saves seed
"This helps reduce overplanting of seed on end rows, point rows, terraces and waterways," says King. "SeedCommand also saves you time by eliminating the need to slow down to accurately lift and lower the planter on end rows."
"The Insight display can also be used for all the grower's grain operations as well," he said. "That can be especially important in the South where farmers produce a number of different crops."
Combined with GPS systems, the Insight cotton yield monitor records precise yield maps along with complete field and load records, providing information on productivity for each acre. The computer display's portability means growers can move the unit from tractor to sprayer to combine to cotton picker to get maximum use from the display.
"The system was so user friendly that with just a couple of buttons I was able to start harvesting the next field," said Stoney Hargett, a cotton producer who tested the Insight cotton yield monitor over 1,800 acres around Alamo, Tenn., last year.
Convenience can be important in west Tennessee where fields and farms tend to be smaller and growers like Hargett and his father, Jimmy Hargett, can have numerous landlords.
See yield changes
"I really appreciated the on-screen yield map," said Hargett. "I could see yield changes in the field as they happened and knew exactly what was being harvested there."
"The Insight display allows you to automatically segregate varieties so that you can see what each variety yields," said Mike W. Olson, Ag Leader national sales manager who spoke at a New Developments from Industry session at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences.
Ag Leader began manufacturing its first crop yield monitor in 1992. The on-the-go yield monitoring system, which had been in development for six years at that point, has become the centerpiece of the precision farming practices, and the Yield Monitor 2000 has become a benchmark for yield monitors, said King.
The company introduced its first cotton yield monitor in 2000. The system provides instant on-the-go monitoring of bales per acre for both Case IH and John Deere pickers.
The Insight cotton yield monitoring system utilizes multiple optical sensors to measure cotton volumetric flow rates in the picker chutes. The sensors measure volumetric flow from at least two rows of cotton and communicate the readings to the Insight display.

Lamontagne would bring spirit of collaboration to school board
I am relieved to see Jeff Lamontagne on the ballot for the Jeffco school board. With the federal government shutdown and the recent recall elections in Colorado, I am happy to see a Jeffco school board election coming next month. As with all elections, we as voters should be thoughtful of our candidates before the election and not two years into their term.
Government shutdown didn't stop me from seeing the national parks
I was depressed that I could not go to Rocky Mountain National Park to see the colors change today. Instead, I headed down the hill to Denver and saw a great gallery show at David Cook Galleries featuring America's national parks.
Lamontagne the right choice for Jeffco school board
I attended the Jeffco school board candidate forum in Evergreen to get a better feel for the qualifications and opinions of the candidates with regard to the issues our county is facing. District 2 candidate Jeff Lamontagne demonstrated that he would bring a balanced voice and a long-term, solutions-oriented commitment to the Jeffco school board.
Commissioners' actions regarding open space disappointing
Regarding the Clear Creek county commissioners' meeting on Aug. 16:
Commissioners should let voters decide whether to add two positions to board
I am writing to thank you and your excellent reporter for the recent article on the Jeffco5 movement!
Evergreen Audubon is working to educate lake visitors on conservation
Business owner voices support for EPRD
I am writing as a business owner and resident of Evergreen in response to John Watson's Community Voices opinion column in last week's Courier.
My husband and I have lived in Evergreen for 34 years. In 1979 we bought the Highland Haven Motel (now Inn), and we have personally and professionally made use of and been involved with our EPRD offerings continually since that time.
Panel is working to evaluate inBloom database for district
I sit on the Jeffco School District Data Advisory Management Council with information technology experts from businesses across Jeffco as well as parents and teachers. We are investigating, testing and advising the district on the potential need for and safety of a new way to organize the extensive amounts of information that Jeffco staff must gather to effectively serve our kids.
