The opening ceremony of the 6th Northern Muslim Association Anti-Drugs Sports Challenge was carried out at its scheduled time at 5 p.m. on May 7, regardless of the drizzling rains, damp amphitheatre and drenched football field.
Nice smiles and waves, from everyone who has turned their back on drugs.
"Youth is the most important force of the nation. I am delighted in seeing all Muslims coming from the seven northern provinces gathered harmoniously," said Prinya Panthong, deputy Chiang Mai governor, presiding over the event.
Sepak takraw between Chang Klan A and Nong Ban A teams in the first round.
Despite a mushy surface underfoot, the parade was high spirited, with girls and boys carrying the anti-drugs posters.
After the ceremonies the parade left the stadium, and a special football match kicked off in the rain between teams of Muslim seniors and local press, both TV channels and newspaper publishing houses.
The members of different mosques sat in the amphitheatre, with flags and balloons.
The successful opening ceremony of the 6th Northern Muslim Association Anti-Drugs Sports Challenge reflected the collaboration of Chiang Mai Muslim Sports Group with the Northern Muslim Association and reflected the harmony between Muslims in the north.

Last Saturday's Chiang Mai Senior League fixture saw our winsome and cuddly farang all-stars take on the nasty, despicable ruffians of San Kampaeng F.C.
Soon after leaving the cool lunchtime ambience of the U.N. Irish Pub (a subtle yet subliminal pro-mo for our team sponsors) and travelling out to Hang Dong for the 2:30 kick-off, our benevolent and wise coach, a.k.a. me, realised that a tad of "Tinkering" was going to be necessary for the day's encounter.
Firstly we were short of players and had to draft in a new face, Dave, a 40-year old teacher from Grace International School. Secondly, the weather. It was a scorching afternoon and some of the team looked burnt out just tying their shoelaces. We were going to have to adopt an Italian-style passing game, played at a snail's pace in order to last the full 90 minutes.
We had previously beaten San Kampaeng who was some eight places behind us in the league. But, as always, surprises were in store.
The game began slowly like a chess match, both teams holding possession and not letting anything through. Prior to the match the entire Farangutans team had competed in a penalty competition, rifling spot-kicks at Marky Flowers until Masao emerged victorious as the new designated penalty-taker. It was to be a big day for Masao, a Japanese-American who devotes the rest of his time to preventing dam construction in Southeast Asia. Despite having been injured the week before, splitting his chin wide open, the courageous dambuster turned up to play with a grinning scar on his chin and a bandaged head. Playing in his favourite Luis Figo role out wide, Masao linked one-twos with James and Shawn, wove threads of confusion through the San Kampaeng defence and launched cross after cross into the danger zone.
The first half ended 0–0 but the Farangutans were confident in spite of the sweltering heat and some niggling injuries. In the second half we did everything but score: Shawn shot just over from 25 yards, Dave had a header well saved by the excellent San Kampaeng goalie, who then tipped over a shot from Hinsh which looked destined for the top corner.
Against the run of play a dubious foul was called and the nippy San Kampaeng winger stole in behind our defence to score. Minutes later they added a second and the game was settled. The Farangutans battled on against the odds and against sunstroke but to no avail. San Kampaeng won 2–0.
Mai pen rai. Next week we are playing Sua Mon Chon who after 10 games has not won a single point in the league and has conceded some 43 goals.
If anyone – and I mean ANYONE – is even slightly curious about our hapless but happy football team, you are welcome to come and support us. What the hell, we'll even give you a free season ticket. Check out our zany website, which even now boasts a Spot the Ball competition. We're on: www.geocities.com/farangutans
Stefan Effenberg impressed by Chiang Mai young talent
"What a great success!" These were the words of world-renowned footballer Stefan Effenberg at the end of the first day of a football talent search, in Chiang Mai.
Stefan Effenberg and the honorary German consul to Chiang Mai was one of the few 'official' photos taken during the day.
Effenberg is former captain of Bayern Munich FC, one time Champion League winner and three times German Championship winner, who has decided to establish his own Asian Football Academy in Thailand.
Five children between the ages of nine and 14 years from the north were outstanding and caught Effenberg's eye. "These children saw their chance and I saw the fire of the tiger in their eyes. I especially liked that so many parents were sticking around to support the youngsters. I really look forward to come back soon. Despite the tremendous heat, these five children I noticed were exceptionally talented and promising. He made the statement at the start of a 31 city road show, searching for future football talents.
"I am positive that we will find many more young Thais with great football potential in the weeks to come. I want to ask all parents who think their child might be the one, to come along when the road show is in a city near you."
The next cities the Football Talent Search will visit are Lampang (May 15), Utaradit (May 22), Tak (May 29) and Phitsanulok (Jun 12).

There will also be prizes for best players, both male and female, in each class, and for clubs winning total points, to be awarded by the director of Chiang Mai Physical Education College.
Antonio Graceffo
Ask any of today's great adventure writers - Tim Cahill, Paul Theroux, or Robert Young Pelton - and they all agree on one point: "It's been done before."
Basically everything on this planet which can be done, has been. And even more extreme is that with package tour operators making the most remote corners of the globe accessible to everyday people, this includes even formidable activities like climbing. Scaling the Himalayas is an option for the average tourist (more accurately, the average tourist with $60,000, the price of a guided ascent up Everest).
In this type of climbing, you use carabineers tied to your rappelling harness, to clip into the loops, working your way down the rope, and back up.
You can't be first to row across the Pacific. A teenager has reached the South Pole. Wilfred Thesiger already crossed the Open Quarter of the Sahara, more than once. And my neighbor, Mimo Palmentera, who makes pizza back in Brooklyn, has summated Mount Kilimanjaro.
So when that once-in-a-lifetime chance to do something new came my way, I jumped at it.
On one of those sleepy, dull Chiang Mai mornings, when you drink a three-in-one coffee and feel you couldn't possibly even look at another elephant ride or bungee jump, I opened my e-mail and found a message from my good friend (and in this case, savior) Kevin Shane Barry, owner of Track of the Tiger Tours.
He asked whether I would like to go, as part of a two-man team, to be the first people ever to trace the river at Doi Saket.
The rope is there for safety, not to help you climb.
I jumped at the chance. Not only would the project renew my interest in life - I had been considering hanging myself just as a change of pace - but it would team me up with Shane's right-hand man, Reinier, who had been my adventure partner in an infamous canoe trip on the Maekok River, and who will be accompanying me on an even more infamous trip down the entire Mekong, as soon as we can find someone foolish enough to pay our way.
Clinging to the slippery rocks, making your precarious way up a vertical slope, with countless gallons of water rushing by you, threatening to tear you off, is one of the most exciting activities you could ever engage in.
Although river tracing is a fairly new sport in Thailand, it has been known for years in Europe and the USA. Most people confuse river tracing with white-water rafting, or they at least assume that there is some sort of a boat involved. But they couldn't be further from the truth.
Lack of speed is attributed to the constant force of water impeding your forward movement.
To understand the phenomenon of river tracing is to understand the mechanics of insanity. Everyone has heard the stories about that maniac Captain Webb who rode over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Outwardly, we say he is crazy. But down deep, doesn't plunging down all that white water sound like a good time?
But have you ever considered going up a waterfall?
River tracing, as I say, is a new sport where not only do you climb up the waterfalls, but you climb up and over every rock and obstacle in the river, tracing it to its source.
Once you have donned your equipment, consisting of a swimsuit, life jacket, helmet, kneepads, rubber boots and a rappelling harness, it's time to get wet. The best way to get into a cold river is to simply jump off a bridge. You're going to get soaked head to toe, anyway, so you might as well just go for it. Taking that first step is a bit counter-intuitive, but like any other controlled fright, it is a rush, and once you hit that ice-cold water, you'll feel energized.
Reinier and I entered the river during the dry season, so we weren't exactly inundated with water. There was no swimming involved, but the low river presented other problems, as we had to scale, rather than swim over even the smallest stones. Spending long periods of time in the jungle can be a bit depressing as you can see neither the sun nor the sky, because of the canopy of dense foliage overhead.
Tracing wide rivers has the benefit of being able to see the sky. Tracing a narrow river, like the one at Doi Saket, and running through a typically overgrown Thai jungle, you quickly realize that the river is the only way to go. Attempts to walk beside, or even to get out of, the river will be thwarted by a thick tangle of jungle vines.
In addition to our normal river tracing gear, we also needed to carry machetes. We felt like real Tarzans as we hacked our way up the river. Every river has its own personality, and progress was very slow.
In most rivers the lack of speed is attributed to the constant force of water impeding your forward movement. But at Doi Saket, the problem was the vegetation, which hung down from above. We were constantly getting tangled in thorns, vines and spider webs. And, of course, in Thailand, before grabbing or cutting a vine you want to make sure that it isn't a man-eating snake.
The vines themselves can be fairly formidable, as almost every living thing in Thailand is covered with thorns. Gloves would probably have been a good addition to our gear.
The best part of river tracing is climbing up the waterfalls. Clinging to the slippery rocks, making your precarious way up a vertical slope with countless gallons of water rushing by you, threatening to tear you off, is one of the most exciting activities you could ever engage in.
Constantly getting tangled in thorns, vines, and spider webs. And, of course, you want to make sure that it isn't a man-eating snake.
At Doi Saket, however, we came to a huge waterfall, probably over a 100 feet high. Since we had no back-up team, we decided to play it safe, and hike up the back side of the fall, then climb down, and back up with direct assist (climbing the rope, instead of the rock).
In normal rock climbing, you are only supposed to put your weight on the rock face. The rope is there for safety, not to help you climb. But in river tracing, it is perfectly legal to use the rope to pull yourself up. Reinier and I used a basic climbing technique, called stirrups, where we first anchored one end of the rope to a tree. Next, we tied loops in the rope, at eight foot intervals, until we ran out of rope. When we finished, we threw the rope over the side.
"I'll go first." I volunteered, as we peered down the cliff. There was a bit of an outcrop which prevented us from seeing the end.
"What if the rope didn't reach the bottom?" asked Reinier. "We could slip right off the end."
"Good point." I agreed. "You'd better go first."
"You're not scared, are you?" asked Reinier.
"At my age, I could dislocate a hip," I answered.
In this type of climbing, you use carabineers tied to your rappelling harness, to clip into the loops, working your way down the rope, and back up. Once I saw that Reinier made it back to the top safely, I felt it would be repetitive for me to complete the climb. So, I went down far enough to make the photos look exciting.
By the time we finished with the waterfall, shadows began to grow long. Although we hadn't reached the source of the river, we decided that it might be prudent to turn back. Both being experienced woodsmen, we hadn't bothered to take a compass or a map. Of course, this meant that we walked in circles for several hours. But this was okay with me because I really need to lose weight, and I hate the stair-master at the gym. It's too repetitive.
"Well, we did it!" I said, triumphantly, when we finally reached the car, seconds before the last light would have left the evening sky, sentencing us to spend a very uncomfortable night in the jungle, with no equipment.
"Did what?" Asked Reinier.
"We were the first people to have the opportunity to trace the river at Doi Saket to its source."
"But we didn't find the source." said Reinier, dejectedly.
"Yes, but we were the first people to HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY."
When it comes to adventure, I'll take any first I can get.
If you want to go river tracing, it is best to go with an organized tour group, because they will have proper equipment, and knowledge, and they won't get lost. Reinier and Shane promised that they'd take good care of you. If you would like to read about Reinier and me kayaking the entire Mekong River, please send us a check.

April Jones murder: Son of killer Mark Bridger speaks of shame at 'evil dad'
Mark Verona on his evil dad: 'Even 100 life sentences is not enough. I wanted him to get the electric chair, to feel pain like April and her family'
Steven Verona, son of murderer Mark Bridger
The son of child killer Mark Bridger has spoken for the first time of his intense family shame at the evil actions of his father – and revealed he wanted him to face the death penalty.
Steven Verona, 27, said "even 100 life sentences is not enough" for the man who killed schoolgirl April Jones.
And he opened up on how he had been brutalised as a youngster by Bridger.
In May, 47-year-old Bridger was jailed for life for April's abduction and murder in what was believed to be a sexually-motivated attack. The five-year-old had been snatched from outside her Machynlleth home on October 1 last year. Despite one of the biggest searches in police history her body has never been found.
"I'd been following April's story and like everyone I wanted her to be returned home safe and sound," Mr Verona told the Sunday Mirror.
"My mind went into meltdown when my mum told me my father had been arrested. I cried for hours and wondered how I could be related to such a monster.
"They could give him 100 life sentences and it would never be enough for me. If there was ever a case to bring back capital punishment, this was it.
"I wanted him to get the electric chair, I wanted him to experience the pain April and her family have."
Steven's mother Deborah Verona was 17 and working as a typist when she met 19-year-old Bridger.
But Mr Verona said Bridger's controlling and violent nature soon became apparent to his mother and her family.
As a baby, he was said to have been "hurled across the room" by his father. And at 18 months old, Steven received hospital treatment after being kicked in the back by Bridger. The youngster was left with scarring to one of his kidneys.
He said his mother made several attempts to flee the abusive relationship, but kept getting back with him, at one stage moving the family into a caravan in Wales.
"I experienced regular beatings," Mr Verona said. "As a young child, I didn't understand why I was on a daily cocktail of drugs and urinating blood, but I found out later it was because of the attack where he scarred my kidneys."
Aged five, he was living back in London when his mother left Bridger for good. But after his mother struggled to rebuild her life in the aftermath of her relationship with Bridger, Mr Verona was eventually taken into care at the age of 10.
Despite his brutal childhood, Mr Verona remained in contact with his "loving" maternal grandparents and managed to get to college where he studied electronics and engineering.
When he was 25, in 2011, he tried to contact his father, by then living in Mid Wales, in a bid to rekindle a family relationship. But he was unable to track him down.
Then on October 2, 2012 – just a day after April's disappearance – he got a phone call from his mother.
"She told me it was to do with my dad," he said. "Stupidly, I thought she was going to tell me he was sorry for everything he'd put me through and wanted to meet me.
"Then she said he'd been arrested on suspicion of April's murder, I nearly threw up."
He said his life had fallen apart since his father's vile crime came to light, losing his job and relationship as he turned to drink to numb the full horror of his father's actions.
Recalling the Mold Crown Court trial, Mr Verona said: "I felt sick to the stomach when I read what had happened that night. I hated him for pleading not guilty and putting April's family through more grief by having to go to court. He could have spared them that."
He added: "It's hard to accept I'm related to someone so inherently evil. I knew my dad was a woman and child beater, but I didn't think he was a paedophile too. Every time I hear his name, I want the ground to swallow me up."
Following a special inquest last week, April's funeral finally takes place on Thursday at St Peters Church in Machynlleth. Her grieving parents Coral and Paul have asked mourners to wear pink or colourful clothing, echoing the town's pink ribbon campaign – symbolising the youngster's favourite colour – during the search for April.
"I hope Bridger does the right thing and tells them where her remains are," said Mr Verona. "Not for me, for April. So she can rest in peace and her family can try to move on with their lives."

Sustainable Resource Engineering identifies new approaches for developing the built and natural environments to achieve an urban metabolism that minimizes the use of new resources and energy and the creation of waste and pollution. This field of study ranges from optimization of lifeline networks to developing more effective strategies for harnessing energy to inventing technologies for engineering of the infrastructure and the environment that minimize the use of materials. Therefore, sustainability is not only a challenge but also an opportunity to be addressed for the next generations of civil engineers, to promote economic growth without shortchanging the future.
As a student of civil engineering at Northeastern University who wants to focus on sustainable resources engineering, you will be prepared to think outside the box and will interact with a multidisciplinary group of our faculty who are leaders in the worldwide Cities of the Future initiative, including Sustainable Network Systems, combining departmental research on lifeline and network engineering with research at the university such as in the Center for Complex Network Research out of the College of Science; and Energy and Green Engineering, combining research on construction management, wind energy, reusable structural systems after natural or manmade hazards, optimal use of materials in structures, and studying the water-energy nexus, with ongoing research in the School of Architecture within the College of Arts, Media and Design and the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs along with the program in Law and Public Policy within the College of Social Science and the Humanities.

I just heard Ohio governor John Kasich at the Republican National Convention boasting about how his state was first in the Midwest and fourth in the nation in jobs creation. He railed against regulations that stymied new business. Hmm. Didn't I hear that in Ohio they are injecting waste water from hydrofracking into dry wells?
Tortillaville August 28, 2012 at 9:58 PM
Did anyone read Sean Lennon's piece on fracking in the NY Times Op Ed. Well said, I think.
Samuel August 28, 2012 at 10:41 PM
Yes. Just about oil and gas wells have "saline brine" as a byproduct of drilling, according to a Yale engineer who's developing a new process for dealing with the nasty saline brine. Saline brine is being disposed of in Ohio in the ground. Pennsylvania ships brine to Ohio because they have no place to put it in PA, at least not at a competitive cost.
Saline brine is ultra-salty, much saltier than the ocean and disposing of it is a real challenge. Ohio is about to tell PA they have no more room for out-of-state brine which could be hard for PA energy producers.

As if Hudsonians don't have their bipartisan hands full of confronting local mischief, now Gossips readers must prepare to divide themselves for the national benefit (thus exemplifying my eternal complaint against the old New Left).
Well then, here goes.
There's no question that Ohio's made deregulation the hallmark of its jobs agenda, mostly by pinning the slow pace of job growth on the crazy regulatory uncertainty perpetuated by the Obama administration. (In retrospect Nixon was like Gibraltar in comparison!)
As a result, Ohio's public-sector growth is falling. If only New York state could manage that!, though I'd probably agree with Gossips' fears about which state jobs would be cut first.
However, Ohio's employment projections forecast the bulk of the next five years' of job growth in health care and general business activities before advances in the "construction and transportation" sector (the nearest category to hydrofracking on the list).

And while it's true that Governor Kasich stated that Ohio has "restored common sense" to environmental regulations and that he complains of the "smothering effect" of regulations on businesses, his admission that "the actions that we took were not always easy [and] not always popular," acknowledges that they weren't always pleasant for legislators either. The message I got was: unpleasant but necessary.
But I appreciate that it's the season for vilifying those whose opinions might be a little different than one's own, even if we're all allies the rest of the year at the local level.
As a card-carrying centrist, I'll take this opportunity to ask my ecologically-minded Hudsonians for one example OTHER THAN THE 2004-05 ST. LAWRENCE FIGHT when an uncompromising stance advanced the ecological cause one jot.
There isn't a victory to point to, which is why I'm prepared to echo Governor Kasich (even if I don't agree with him on fracking) that the hard work now consists in the art compromise.
In that regard, Left-leaning ecologically-minded Hudsonians haven't a clue how to update their narrative. And as long as that embarrassing state of affairs continues, we're fated to continue losing battles on behalf of the local ecology.
Oops, I'm off topic again, wandering away from our anxieties about Ohio.

Small correction, unheimlich. The St Lawrence Cement fight went on for about 6 years, not 2 years. My memory is that the cement company put its proposal forward in 1999.
Two years - six years ...
Am I really the only one who sees it as a disadvantage that everyone around here continues to live that dream?
Meanwhile the world's machinations have mutated and moved on. Some developments should be opposed outright, others rejected only in part.
But another possibility is ending up in a position where you have no power at all. It's wise to always factor in that potentiality. I suppose that 6 years rather than 2 makes that harder to accomplish.
Samuel August 29, 2012 at 10:29 AM
Unheimlich, you are not alone. As Carole knows, I am pro-fracking, pro-nuclear power, anti-job killing regulations (of all sorts, not just environmental). New York State has the second-highest cost of power to end users in the Lower 48 states; this is a serious obstacle to job creation and wealth creation.
I fought St. Lawrence Cement about as hard as anyone except for Sam Pratt. I don't see what St. Lawrence Cement has to do with anything else. I also don't understand why you seem to be belittling a victory in a very large fight.

Seriously Tim? Linking deregulation to job growth, self-describing as a centrist, and finally asserting that uncompromising positions have never moved an environmental issue forward? Here I thought the Blue Moon was on Friday.
David Marston.

I agree Jock, the St. Lawrence victory is nothing to belittle. I'm very grateful for everyone's hard work defeating that proposal.
But that was then and this is now.
Unfortunately, a lot of people's efforts since that time seem to me to deserve belittling. The local ecology is adding up some pointless losses in recent years, and not related to job growth or anything useful but having more to do with favors between cronies.
A lot that needs attention takes place in the field, hands-on stuff like removing invasives and the like. Do people around here ever apply themselves, or do they just talk?
But as if to symbolize the full stop of the public's interest during last year's dishonest environmental impact statement (not just a City of Hudson issue), and the public's general lack of attentiveness ever since, only a few people turned out the night the Common Council ratified its anti-ecological LWRP zoning. It follows that nobody is now interested in the consequences of their own inattention.
That's why it's easy to get the impression that some people - not all - return to the memory of the St. Lawrence victory to be relieved of any further involvement with the present. If true, I don't respect that. It does feel like it's true though.
Now Mr. Dave, as a self-described centrist I'm merely reminding people that things are always more complicated than they're made out to be around election time.
The question I'd hoped to provoke concerns the moment an uncompromising stance begins to yield diminishing returns. That's not the same as saying an uncompromising approach is never appropriate.
It's just that I feel we're about to enter an era of massive deregulation. Like anything else, this will have good results and bad. If opposition to the trend is only rejectionist and puritanical, the ecosystem may suffer all the more for our self-indulgent superiority. Of course some people go in for that sort of thing.
Aw, I think you might just be teasing me!
Thanks for the alert about the blue moon.

We don't know exactly, but studies have indicated that genetic alterations may play a role in the formation of all soft-tissue sarcomas (tumors). In addition, limited studies have shown a possible link between soft-tissue sarcomas and the development of other types of cancer.
Because hemangiopericytoma affects tissue that is elastic and easily moved, a tumor may exist for a long time before being discovered, growing large and pushing aside surrounding tissue.

Natalie Portman Reveals 'All-Male Nominees' Statement At The Golden Globes Was Planned
Natalie Portman has just revealed that her "all-male nominees" statement while presenting an award at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards was pre-planned.
Portman's 'All-Male Nominees' Moment
The Annihilation actress was tasked with presenting the award for Best Director along with director Ron Howard at the Golden Globes last month.
However, the actress used the opportunity to call out the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) decision to not include a single female director in the category even though there were some worthy contenders for the honor.
Despite being dominated by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement, some of the biggest Golden Globes snubs this year were seen in the Best Director category.
The HFPA failed to include women behind some of the highest grossing and critically lauded films last year: Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird, Patty Jenkins for Wonder Woman, and Dee Rees for Mudbound.
"And here are the all-male nominees," Portman announced the names of the nominees in the category with the damning statement.
Portman Says It Was Planned
In a recent interview with BuzzFeed, the 36-year-old actress revealed that the moment was premeditated and not something she said spontaneously. Portman also noted that she had a discussion over how to address the evident gender bias in the category with fellow women from the industry.
"I discussed with some of the women I've been working with that they had offered to me to present the director category, but I felt uncomfortable because it seemed to be excluding some deserving nominees," she said.
Portman also pointed out that she wanted to draw attention to the issue without disrespecting any of the directors who were nominated in the category because they deserved to be there and had nothing to do with the fact that no women were nominated for the award.
"You don't want to not recognize them. It's just, why aren't we recognizing the people who aren't part of this exclusive club? So one of the women recommended I say that, and it felt like stating something that was true," she added.
Portman's statement was met with a wave of gasps and sighs in the room, but the actress believes that it was necessary.
According to the actress, women's voices need to be heard. Otherwise, they won't be seen often on stage and will have to continue to work twice as hard for the same recognition that is given to the opposite gender.

Story Chapters
The Story of Valentine Blackburn – Ch 7 (The Author's War)
Published on July 19, 2014 February 12, 2019 by Chris Ticehurst
My travels had taken me across to the deserts of a safe house where Daniel Phoenix and Vincent Lamour were ready with information regarding Valentine Blackburn. The entire group had reformed expect for the ThunderDragon who had returned to save his powers while he was being drained from the death of his element brothers. The safe house was a warehouse buried deep undercover as one of the areas that Phoenix kept when his UFO investigation became too hot and he need to become 'off the radar' from the government. There was a couple dozen chairs with everyone sitting waiting for the two of them to address them. I was in the front row with Wizard, Chisoutsa, Professor Walken and Percy Cyber who was curious to see what the update was.
"Evening everyone it's been a hard time learning the deaths of the three that fought in the past war and the deaths of the weather elements. We believe have the information that links all these events together and it will finally make sense for everyone who has been trapped in this strange war that we have been forced into. Vincent and I have found a book about this man's tales and how it all connects. Let me please begin.
In the middle of the 1600's Valentine Blackburn was a known writer in his time. He was a genius of remembering novels and stories and he had enjoyed writing books on myths and legends back in the day. However all was what it seemed about Valentine. He had a dark side to him that many people didn't know of. He had a thirst for power and to find a way to use his creative side to turn it into a powerful weapon against those who he hated. He becomes a criminal in his time because of something he found. Something that no one believed was ever true but was and no one in history believed it.
His search for a way to turn a simple writer into a powerful figure turned upwards for him when encounter a special book pictured here," Daniel said starting the story holding up the image of a thick wooden book with a unknown symbol. Most of the audience in the room was blank on the book, by the look of it no one had seen it before.
"The special book had words telling him it was the most powerful object of all existence. Every universe, every world you could ever dream of, all of that power was inside this book. It also believed that a person of creative talent could the master of everything and help unlock it's secrets in the book for total control over the universes. It is said it was created by the soul breakers. The body found that was called Gladus was a soul breaker. Their talents was to cut deep inside people's soul and destroy them with words. For all the fear and sorrow they gave it was returned in power. The book's power is all the deaths, fears, sorrows, and evil ever done is placed inside those pages. You can imagine the sheer that has over people. It explains why Valentine could easily open portals and have a tower of that much electricity if you had the most powerful object of all time in your corner wanting to win for you.
He exchanged his soul for the use of the book. He needed to become a soul breaker and in so had to eat the heart of a soul breaker. The book told me of the frozen body hidden away in the dark forest and so he trekked all the way out of to deep the cold heart of him and ate it to become something that no one had ever dared to want to be. Now that he was a soul breaker he could start to use the book's powers. His second order from the book was to murder and use the blood of his victims to write his journey from a successful writer to letting in the darkness of his soul and desire and begin his quest for total control. We discovered the sad story that…" Daniel told looking to a visually upset Vincent by his side for a moment before turning back to the group.
"That Vincent Lamour's childhood friend was one of the people that were murdered. He was the only one too that was learning the murders and sins of Valentine Blackburn. He was closing in to trap him when sadly his plan failed and he was the final person of five victims that Valentine needed to kill and writer into the book.
The final order which is now happening is he revealed back than he that wanted Valentine to sleep for hundreds of years until a time when the book was able to use the blood of the good to take the blood of all. He was to sleep until he awoke. He was told the book's title and name was called 'The Author's War'. While Valentine could use its powers and cause massive damages we have seen everywhere so far. The book needs to have an official war to be fought across the universes of time and space in order for the three steps to be taken to help Valentine become God. The book allowed him to choose a rival writer as it started in the book's rules that death of this writer's soul and its blood used to seal the book's power and finish the war story and for him to win everything and the deaths of everything we know.
This is the Author's War and Chris is the key to defeating him. To defeat him, we must kill him and destroy the book and the war will be over. However Valentine has the same desires of the book. Both want the same result and he is near immortal which dwarfs anything we that can throw at him. This the greatest war we will ever live in and we won't we live to see it through," Daniel explain finishing the story.
Everyone is the room was dead silence, Roger the Barbarian looked down at his broadsword as if it was a toy useless against the grand odds that Phoenix has told everyone. Fear had come to Chisoutsa's face as Professor Walken placed his hand on the side of her face with a father's smile. Percy Cyber had his face buried in his hands for man who knew many answers he had none. Hayden Normal leaned back in his chair in shock, he had seen paranormal sprits and many scary moments in his life but nothing shook him to the core like this. Wizard had his worried face on him. He had been through the most battles and wars than anyone else in the room but in the face of this he had a tired look bout him and that this was too much him. My mind was blank. I felt like this was the ending that this was the story that was going to kill everyone. One voice did decide to speak from the back of the room.
"So the story tells of a immortal all powerful book in a deal with a completely evil serial killer writer to win a war to control all that exists. Are we really going to give up because of a fucking writer? No hard feelings on you kid," aid the voice to me.
"None taken Mr. Umezu," I replied.
"Look at the talent in this room. Not only we have the great Chisoutsa here, but her father and the leader of the Xtreme Squad. We have legendary Legomen who have fought what a fuck load of battles and had more experience than anyone that I know of. We have the best investigators who cracked this case in record time that took people hundreds of years and never got to the truth, a group of expert time travelers, and a barbarian who comes from a world who knows how to fight dirty to win. My old business motto was to win at all costs and side with the winner. That's why I backed Chisoutsa over the demon lord years ago but for the first time I'm backing the ones who are the underdogs. The ones likely to lose. Why is that that you ask of me? It's because it's the first time I decided to do the right thing and over the years the Professor, Charles Thompson, Lucas Walken, Chisoutsa, Allegheri – those names showed me that anything that is thrown against them they fight to the end for it and that's a good thing. They showed me up a few thing when I thought they couldn't do it. It's better to die in battle than to give up everything that you fought. It would have been a waste of fucking time if you did that," he told the group in his usual way of saying things.
"Yeah everyone has fought things in the past but this is different on a grand scale. We did it in our own universes but this is on the biggest level that anyone could dream of. Look I investigate the paranormal, what use would I be or Daniel or Vincent. This isn't a war that we should be fighting in. Let the experts do it," Hayden complained to Mr. Umezu.
"This is everyone's war. War comes to everyone and it shows no mercy to anyone," Roger replied behind him.
"You three did crack this investigation into Valentine. It would have taken someone like me weeks to figure this one out and it would have been too late," Lucas Walken told Hayden.
"For hell's sake I'm just a business man and I'm here. I know how to make things. That's pretty much my skills here. Everyone here has different skills they bring to the table," Mr. Umezu argued.
"I would like to remind people that the old Legomen was always about teamwork and using the best of everyone. Sure we did things differently to others but we always respected each other of what skills we had. Most of us maybe older now but we are wiser for what we went through many years ago. Our world is being kept safe by the very same people," Wizard added in on the discussion.
"Why not, why not just have a go at this. I would die trying than sitting in the corner waiting for this shit to come get us," Chisoutsa replied to everyone.
"We would have to work better as a team and make sure everyone knows their role. I believe our next plan should be to stand by to see what Valentine will be up to. For the moment there is no one here that truly knows what he plans," Professor Walken said.
A mobile phone rang into the middle of all the discussions that was being had and Hayden grabbed it out of his pocket and answered it.
"Yes hello. Ah Sonia what's up? Turn on the television? Alright I think someone here can turn on the television here somewhere?" Hayden asked.
Daniel walked over and turned on a old television and turned to a news channel. Everyone stayed in their seats and watched the news report.
"The terrible attacks from two dragons having appeared have shocked the world to its core. Now there are growing threats from the planet itself. Worldwide reports are coming in that the environment's health has nosed dived in the past six to eight hours. Trees are turning black, all the leaves in bright summer have fallen to the ground and extreme reports that the planet is losing its heat. We will keep everyone informed of these breaking news moments as they come to hand."
"So Sonia saw the news that the weather is being affected by the death of the elements so how bad is this?" Daniel asked the group switching the television off and looking back at them.
I stood up trying to think of the what will happen according to the death of the elements. It was worse than bad, it was a crisis in the making.
"The ThunderDragon's power is weakening. When that happens and with the power of the elements gone the sun will blacken out and there will no air, no trees and the earth will be like a dead rock with life at all. The sun will be blacken out before we will stop breathing it will some time before that happens but this could have not happened at a worst time," I replied to everyone .
"Doesn't the ThunderDragon have these crystals that he spoke of?" Lucas Walken asked me.
'Yes he does but even with that his own powers were weaken by the events of The Author's War. Nature needs time to heal the wounds. In times of war you don't get that chance," I answered him.
"There might be a way to solve this mess quickly and easily," Percy Cyber said to the group.
"We would love to know this idea of yours. Like hell anything else could work," Mr. Umezu replied rudely.
"We could use time travel. Go to the 1600's before when Valentine found the book and get rid of him. Now that might be seen as murder but what choices do we have?"
"Wouldn't it make more sense to just go when the book was discovered and destroy it then and there? As Mr. Phoenix said the book needed time to draw the blood's powers over hundreds of years to have the strength to carry out these attacks through the use of Valentine," Lucas argued.
"We have never used time travel to solve our issues, even your father Percy Dr. Cyber said the use of time travel can create dangerous ties to the future. When we battled Zare all those years ago we only used time travel when he changed to change our past and even he knew there were certain events not to play with," Wizard responded to Percy.
"Zare was not as powerful or far reaching as this person is. We have to take some form of action now and not later. Something to cut him at the knees," Percy said getting frustrated.
The tapping of the cane was heard from the side of the room and Professor Walken was thinking, "I would believe this Valentine would have checked out everyone in this room. Have read all the books that Chris has written to gain insight into who we are. Now that doesn't mean he knows everything about us but only knows what we have done in the past and not the future. We are writing the future as we speak He will use our disadvantages to his strengths. Is there such a thing as a time block or a way he could stop the means of time travel?" he asked Percy.
"There are some areas that he could do that. The book could have helped Valentine in blocking time travelling to certain periods and yes he may have thought of that already. He may have even blocked traveling to other events, when he took Gladus's heart to become a soul breaker and even very recent events of the past year. The preparing for war to come, retrieving the bodies of Morcar and Draken too. We are back to square one I guess," Percy answered sounding as defeated as the rest.
Chisoutsa stood up and waved her arms at everyone, "Hang on, what if we time travelled to a point in time that no one thinks is important?" she suggested.
"How does that work?" Daniel asked her.
"You had that book about Blackburn right? Vincent's friend was killed so he never completed whatever investigation he did into him. Why don't we travel to see the person who put the book together and talk about what else he knows about him."
Everyone in the room was quiet for a moment slowly there was a few nodding heads around the place, "That's a good idea. When people do reports like this there's normally same things left out. There may be something that might not important or of interest that later on in time becomes important. Both Hayden and I have come across that plenty of times. The report book was made in 1922 by man called Tom Smith. Pretty standard name by the sound of it but can we find him is the big question."
"We can find him indeed," smiled Dr. Cyber who had been hiding in the corner seat listening to everyone, "We only have to contact the publishing house and find out his address from there."
"Then it's settled for our next plan. Is there anything else that we need to do?" Percy asked everyone.
"Everyone doesn't need to go back in time to follow this up. There is the problem of trying to catch Valentine. I'm sure we will see him travel by himself becoming more focused on battling us but the problem of the moving tower keeps us guessing. We must find a way to ground the tower or limit the way it moves him around with ease. If we can trap him we can pin him and destroy the book too.' Professor Walken explained to the group.
"That would require a powerful spell or magic to do so, Lucas might not be able to do that but maybe Wizard could," Dr. Cyber suggested.
Wizard tossed his head at the suggestion of the idea sitting next to me, "It's not possible in the areas of magic that I could do that. I would like to do but I just couldn't."
I turned around curious about his answered and whispered to him, "What do you think you can't do it. You are the most powerful wizard that I know of."
"My magic does have limits, especially in these events you can say. This could be solved through technologies or something to that effect," Wizard answered in a rush.
I turned away unsure of why Wizard wasn't keen to use his magic to help with the war. I knew in the past he only used his full powers when the time called and maybe he sensed this was not the time to do so.
"So Chris you are the leader I suppose on all of the movements of this war. Should we go ahead with this?" Daniel Phoenix asked me.
"Well I'm a leader by force not choice. I will go along with anything this group suggests. I mean I'm not a expert on any of these things. I'm just the writer. It would be nice to see what this person back in the 1920's has to say about Valentine. It could be something important or not," I answered him.
"Finally the boredom is over and we can do something. I felt like I was going die listening to all of you crapping on about stuff," Chisoutsa said jumping up and stretching out.
"Why don't Hayden, me and Dr. Cyber go for this trip alone. It would be nice to talk to the old doctor about time travel and compare notes on things," Daniel said out to the group.
Dr. Cyber came up in his white lab coat and grey hair with his black glasses smiling at the young investigators, "That sounds like a great idea to me. Its people like you that keep me young and I hope we crack this little nut of ours and find out some secrets. Because it's always fun to find new things aren't it?" he asked everyone.
"It always is," answer Vincent Lamour out from the front of the room with a wry smile still thinking about lost of his friend.
The decision had been made and that the new plan would be to gather more information on Blackburn and how it all leads to today.

Here's the funny thing about grief (I never knew there was anything funny about grief to be honest) it always surprises you. It is not (and I repeat) NOT a one size fits all emotion. And anyone that tells you differently, well, just turn and walk the other direction cause they don't know what they're talking about.
At my age, I feel very confident that I know who I am, and more importantly, how I will react to certain things that life throws in my path. I am practical, I love a good challenge.. and yet I tend to be sensitive at times, (soft and gooey on the inside and all that). And of course when the situation demands it, I can be pretty tough and unrelenting. But when it comes to death, I won't lie; I have always been terrified of it. It's finality, the unknowing, or lack of control over one's mortality. And I love control. Oh how I love it. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, hence the many things we cling to in this life to somehow soften the blow of what's inevitable.
So in light of watching death, actually watching someone dear to me take their last breath on earth, I have been utterly mystified by my reaction to it. In the moment, like I had always imagined, the grief was palpable, visceral even. I thought to myself, there is no way my brain can digest what I'm seeing, feeling…it's simply too much. And yet, there was a stillness there and peace unlike anything I've ever seen or felt; in simple terms, an organic surrender that even I couldn't fight; and that was this person's unknowing gift to me. Watch this, see that I'm okay, and put the fear aside (at least for now).
And perhaps in that moment, that very monumental, surreal moment, my mind told me that it was enough to merely witness it… and yet to feel it on that profound level was simply too much. So in short, I have subconsciously (or very consciously) put it somewhere. I can see it, sitting up there on the shelf, and I know in time, I will get it down and open it and feel what comes pouring out, but for now, I will just let it inhabit that place, knowing it is somehow keeping me company, but not overwhelming me.
The interesting part in all of it is how people expect you to respond or more to the point, assume they would respond (and trust me, I've been guilty of this myself, always assuming what the post loss response should be) and in turn, you feel somehow defective for not responding in that precise way. Or in some cases, proud you are somehow able to hold it together. 'Yay, look at me go, I've showered.' What I do know is that grief has surprised me (and I don't surprise easily). It's profound presence and yet lack of feeling has shocked me to my core; it's quietness, it's patience, it's ability to live inside you, and for the time being simply remain silent until it feels like screaming from the rooftops like an unhinged lunatic.
The other revelation of this journey has been the amount of laughter one can find in the most sobering of moments. I know, shocking, right? But in the pain, through the pain, there are so many moments that one (depending on the person or group of people) can see the humor in, or find things that simply are so poignant or revelatory, you can't help but fall on the floor in hysterics. In short, an outlet is an outlet however it seeps out of you. I suppose it's also the psyche's way of preventing you from coming apart at the seams.
So I suppose the reality is that grief wears many masks: some loud and garish, some crippling and meek, some furious and dripping with rage… and yes, even one lurking behind a quiet, thoughtful smile… and I'm telling myself, at the moment, that it's perfectly okay.


Franz Ackermann, Untitled (yet), 2008-9. Oil on canvas, 109 5/8 x 216 1/8". Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University in St. Louis. University purchase with funds from the David Woods Kemper Memorial Foundation, 2011.
This exhibition of sixteen artworks from post-unified Germany does not overtly speak to the political tumult of their cultural origins — and that may precisely be the point. Ranging in media from painting and sculptural installation to photography and fabric-based works, the artwork on view speaks more to a global era in which German artists have made a significant impact. Thomas Demand's trompe-l'oeil miniatures, made entirely of paper and photographed to astonishing verisimilitude, rewrote the conventions of the photographic still life, the wavering realities of documentation and notions of the handmade. Similarly, the frayed abstractions of Sergej Jensen's stitched works defy the procedural immediacy of traditional painterly expressionist practices while sacrificing little in their impossibly unfussy physicality. Franz Ackermann's arresting Condominium — a series of large-scale photographic prints that surround a tower-shaped handkerchief dispenser made of glass — is perhaps most literal in its content but no less broad in its commentary on contemporary urban architecture. Other artists whose work is on view include Thomas Bayrle, Cosima von Bonin, Isa Genzken, Andreas Gursky, Charline von Heyl, Ulrike Kuschel, Michel Majerus, Manfred Pernice, Wolfgang Tillmans and Corinne Wasmuht. Also showing: 2013 MFA Thesis Exhibition (through July 19). Through September 7 at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Forsyth & Skinker boulevards (on the campus of Washington University); 314-935-4523 or www.kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu. Hours: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. daily (closed Tue., open till 8 p.m. Fri.).

My mini snow cone machine and hot dog cart arrived yesterday.
I'm going to try these out this weekend.
The mini popcorn and snow cone machines are sold out on Macy's website.

I was going to get the hot dog cart for home theater decor.
I may order one later on for decoration.
I'm going to actually use the hot dog cart and snow cone machine.
How do they look? Pretty nice quality, you happy with em? I was thinking that popcorn was pretty cool.
The snow cone machine is larger than what I thought.
One word of warning about the snow cone machine.
The manual says that you can't use the snow cone machine for more than 5 mins. continuously.
I realize you get what you pay for but if the unit stops working, I could always use it for decor.
I would rather pay $40 for a snow cone machine versus $500 for a commercial one.
I would rather play $50 for a hot dog machine versus $600 for a commercial one.

The snow cone machine is veryyyy slow!
I'm taking the snow cone machine back to a local Macy's and get the mini popcorn machine for decoration.
I think the popcorn machine looks better than the hot dog and snow cone machine decoration wise.
I was scared that something was going to happen if I went over the 5 mins making the ice in the snow cone machine.
There is a funny smell coming from the top of the machine.
Both machines, my Dad's and mine.
I don't know if this is a concidence or not.
My Dad has changed his mind about the snow cone machine too!
He doesn't even want to keep it for decoration.
He is keeping the popcorn machine and hot dog cart for decoration.
After seeing his popcorn machine on top of a tv, I have to get one just for decoration.
Also, I have heard from other people that the popcorn machine pushes out unpopped kernels with the popped ones.
Again, when I get the popcorn machine, I'm getting it for decoration.
I'm talking with my Dad now.
I have decided to keep the hot dog machine but I'm definetely taking the snow cone machine back!
Nice room. I like the molding you chose. Can you post some pics of a movie playing. So we can see the whole set up in action.
I wish I could show pics of the movie playing but I have a very cheap digital camera that takes awful pictures.
I'll try to borrow my Dad's camera and take some soon.
I have tried taking pictures of movies in action but maybe since I'm using an lcd projector has something to do with it.
Macy's was too crowded yesterday to take the snow cone machine back.
I bought the mini popcorn machine (for decoration) from Rich's yesterday.

Q: Create a method to apply filters in a task list I have a homework assignment with one question I am having difficulty with.
I need to create a method titled changeView that applies filters to an array. The buttons and filters are already written, but I need to code the method that applies them and updates the array with the new view. There are 3 separate buttons: all, active, and completed found in the code.
I've tried calling the switch statement in the method, but I don't think I have either the write syntax, or I am not using the correct variables.
The array name is todos
code from the buttons:

                <button :class="{selected: view === 'all'}" @click="changeView('all')">All</button>
                <button :class="{selected: view === 'active'}" @click="changeView('active')">Active</button>
                <button @click="changeView('completed')" :class="{selected: view === 'completed'}">Completed</button>

code from the filters:
computed: {
            itemsLeft() {
                return this.todos.filter(t => !t.isDone).length;
            },
            activeTodos() {
                return this.todos.filter(t => !t.isDone);
            },
            completedTodos() {
                return this.todos.filter(t => t.isDone);
            },
            filteredTodos() {
                switch (this.view) {
                    case 'active':
                        return this.activeTodos;
                    case 'completed':
                        return this.completedTodos;
                    default:
                        return this.todos;

If there's any more sections of code needed, or if anyone needs all the code lines, I can paste it in. I tried to emit what wasn't needed for simplicity.

A: Your code seems done to me. Without all the code it is difficult to see if there is any problem. I have done an example using your own code here

new Vue({
 el: "#databinding",
 data: function() {
  return {
   status: 'all',
   todos: [
    {
     id: 1,
     isDone: false
    },
    {
     id: 2,
     isDone: true
    },
    {
     id: 3,
     isDone: true
    },
    {
     id: 4,
     isDone: false
    },
    {
     id: 5,
     isDone: false
    }
   ],
  };
 },
 methods: {
  changeView: function (newStatus) {
   this.status = newStatus
  }
 },
 computed:{
  activeTodos: function() {
   return this.todos.filter(t => !t.isDone);
  },
  completedTodos: function () {
   return this.todos.filter(t => t.isDone);
  },
  filteredTodos() {
   switch (this.status) {
    case 'active':
     return this.activeTodos;
    case 'completed':
     return this.completedTodos;
    default:
     return this.todos;
   }
  }
 }
});
body {
 margin: 20px;
}

{{status}} Todos

   {{todo.id}} - {{todo.isDone}}

  <button @click="changeView('all')">All</button>
  <button @click="changeView('active')">Active</button>
  <button @click="changeView('completed')">Completed</button>

Check guarantee services protect merchants from incurring the financial loss of accepting bad, bounced or returned checks for reasons including insufficient funds (NSF), closed accounts, fake accounts, and stop payment orders issued by banks.
CrossCheck recognizes the need for efficient, cost-effective solutions to check acceptance and processing as well as a range of enhancements for specific merchants and industries. This "Guarantee Factor" allows merchants to accept more checks and is ultimately better for their business. CrossCheck even approves checks declined by the competition!
How Does Check Guarantee Work?
CrossCheck provides two distinct types of Check Guarantee services.
With Standard Check Guarantee, merchants approve checks at the point of sale via phone, terminal or the CrossCheck web portal before making a deposit. If approved checks are returned from the bank unpaid, merchants mail the checks to CrossCheck for reimbursement.
Electronic Check Guarantee allows merchants to scan checks with check imagers before submitting them to CrossCheck via the web or a terminal. These merchants often receive funding within 48 hours without leaving their establishment. Electronic Check Guarantee may be conducted via Conversion or Remote Deposit Capture (RDC).
Customers using Check Guarantee services include merchants in retail automotive, auto aftermarket, motor sports, home furnishings, heavy equipment, building supplies, and construction/renovation as well as medical, dental and veterinary offices.
What are the Benefits of Check Guarantee?
Check Guarantee helps increase sales and mitigate risk while saving time and money. CrossCheck offers the highest check approval rates in the industry and its Check Guarantee services are more cost effective than card processing services.
The approval of checks from anywhere in the country as well as Canada and U.S. territories.
Complimentary account set-up, staff training, and equipment programming.
Free Customer Service and Tech Support any time of day or night, even on major holidays.
Optional enhancements offering individualization as well as greater protection and flexibility.
How Long Does It Take to Set Up Check Guarantee?
Merchant accounts can be set up in as little as 24 hours after CrossCheck receives their signed service agreement. Setup time varies as a function of the services chosen by the merchant, the size of the merchant, and whether or not it has multiple locations processing checks.

*See service agreement for complete terms and conditions.
Merchants not accepting checks typically have a history of experiencing financial loss from bad checks. Unfortunately, these merchants are turning away good business because a significant segment of buyers continue to prefer paying by check. By adding Check Guarantee, these merchants can resume selling to all buyers using any form of payment: cash, check or charge.
People no longer write checks.
According to the most recent Federal Reserve Payments Study, only ACH payments (mostly between depository institutions) surpass checks as the highest form of non-cash payments on average: $37 for debit cards, $91 for credit cards, $1,614 for checks, and $2,159 for ACH. Checks are preferred by consumers for large dollar amount purchases as well as 97 percent of small and medium-sized businesses per the Q3 SMB Technology Adoption Index.
We already have a check guarantee service.
CrossCheck declines the fewest checks in the industry. Merchants whose checks are declined by another check guarantee provider should consider CrossCheck's Plus Sales Service. Let CrossCheck run your declines to help save the sale and maintain a positive cash flow.
Accepting checks is not cost effective.
Like the merchants who have experienced financial loss from accepting bad checks, merchants who don't believe in the cost-effectiveness of checks are turning away good business because a significant segment of buyers still prefer paying by check. By adding Check Guarantee, these merchants can resume selling to buyers paying with cash, check or charge.
We don't get that many checks.
The effectiveness of Check Guarantee is not dependent on the volume of the checks that merchants process. First and foremost, Check Guarantee helps increase sales and reduce risk while saving time and money. Check Guarantee helps merchants whether their total monthly check volume is $5,000 or $500,000. Furthermore, CrossCheck's Plus Sales service can be used on an "as needed" basis.
We rarely get returned checks.
Crosscheck can help solve a bad check problem with Check Guarantee, but more importantly, its primary goal is to help merchants increase sales with a variety of payment solutions. For example, the Multiple Check service helps consumers short on cash make large dollar amount purchases without using credit.
We only take checks from recurring customers.
Customers being turned away represent lost profits if they choose to purchase from a competing merchant who will accept their check. Check Guarantee enables merchants to accept a wide variety of business and personal checks without turning away business.
Care Credit can help consumers with good credit, but what happens to consumers who do not qualify because their credit is less than perfect? CrossCheck's Multiple Check solution provides these consumers with 30 extra days to complete their payments without credit or a credit check.
We send returned checks to the magistrate or sheriff.
Using the justice system to collect on bad checks is time-consuming and stressful. With Check Guarantee, every approved check is funded to merchant accounts in 48 – 72 hours without hassle.
We handle bad checks ourselves.
"Do it yourself" merchants may have unsatisfactory collection rates or simply take too long to recover funds from bad checks. Others simply cannot collect at all. Either way, Check Guarantee provides cost-effective solutions that surpass in-house collection efforts in terms of time and money saved.

It's time to stop gawking at viral Black Friday brawls
Opinion IRL
We aren't any better than the people exploited in these videos.
Photo via Erich Ferdinand/Flickr (CC-BY) Remix by Max Fleishman
Samantha Grasso— 2017-11-24 03:50 pm
I can remember as a child, maybe in middle school, sitting at the table and listening to my relatives talk about viscous Black Friday brawls and stampedes they had seen or heard about on the news. Their sentiments were shared by media commentators who argued that these fights contradicted everything that Thanksgiving represented, and were un-American.
Black Friday denouncers argued that the people who partook in the shopping event were selfish, choosing to spend time and money on a commercialized holiday rather than with their families, and were shallow to risk their lives for a discount. But this extremely privileged opinion of Black Friday could not be more wrong.
The four-day shopping spree, with stores opening up just hours after Thanksgiving "dinner" and extending through the weekend and into "Cyber Monday," completely embodies American values, from our celebration of capitalism, down to the fact that people who are well off enough financially can stick up their noses at those who aren't. Not to mention we may choose to believe Thanksgiving is rooted in "giving thanks," but that is a revisionist history of the holiday's gruesome origin.
Isolated, this snooty, pretentious opinion of Black Friday shopping is best (and worst) exemplified by viral videos of Black Friday fights resulting in everything from heated emotions, to injury, and death.
Which is why this year, we aren't sharing viral videos of Black Friday fights. We won't be gawking at photos of people lining up for a store's opening, nor calling a violent encounter "hilarious"—and neither should you.
To be clear, this advice is most definitely hypocritical—the Daily Dot has published posts making fun of "horrifying and hilarious scenes from Black Friday" before, but the stance is genuine nonetheless. From a privileged position, it's extremely easy to watch a viral video of a holiday shopping fight, laugh, and then share the video yourself—you're unaffected by this video, and it feels good to assure yourself that you and the people in these videos are not alike.
But this privilege is what reveals the core issue of these gross videos being circulated for the consumption of hundreds of thousands of hungry eyes—they're classist, voyeuristic, and self-serving. When we watch people fighting for and getting injured over TVs or gaming consoles, we're not passive bystanders watching a group of mad, mindless people. We instead act as aristocracy demanding to be entertained by people who are only trying to provide their families with gifts that, without these Black Friday through Cyber Monday discounts, they might not be able to provide otherwise.
The people in these videos aren't crazed, material-obsessed shoppers, but are actual people pushed to partake in this mass shopping event because they live in a capitalist country where the latest toys, games, and electronics are immediately purchasable for some families, but "luxury" items to others. While the poverty rate has fallen in recent years, 12.7 percent of Americans—40.6 million people—lived in poverty in 2016, according to the U.S. Census.
Sure, sure, when it comes down to it, giving gifts it's always "the thought that counts." But it's messed up to think that poorer families aren't allowed to even want to purchase more expensive gifts at a discount. It shouldn't come to fighting over a sale item for people to be able to provide gifts for their families.
Taking pleasure in the pain of others is sick, and I'm not sure why Black Friday videos are somehow an exception to this obvious statement. Maybe it's because viewers are detached, watching people they don't know, nor understand the motivations of, through a screen. However, we aren't any better than the people who have been recorded and exploited in these videos—we just happen to be in a more privileged position to not be in these videos ourselves.

Suspected Islamic State militants killed around 30 civilians, including children in the remote Afghan province of Ghor in revenge for the death of one of their commanders.
The incident took place on late Tuesday north of the provincial capital Firoz Koh. The dead bodies were found by local police this morning.
There's no official claim of responsibility from the group. The governor said that the killings followed an attack by militants near Feroz Koh, the provincial capital, on Tuesday.
Ghor, in central-western Afghanistan, has not been known as a major center for Islamic State, which has been concentrated in the eastern state of Nangarhar.
