Elliot London and Ronnie Kroell are walking almost 1,000 miles from Chicago to New York over the next 37 days to raise awareness for increased bullying prevention efforts across the country. On Your Morning Friday, the two stopped by the studio to promote their walk.
The walk started on Oct. 5 at Millennium Park in Chicago and will end on Nov. 10 in New York City. London and Kroell are co-founders of the Friend Movement, which they say they started in response to the increasing number of suicides being committed as a result of bullying.
The two men were inspired to establish the movement in the wake of the suicide of Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University student who jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge in New York three years ago, after being severely cyber-bullied by his dormitory roommate.

People who blog know that it's a lot of work. So I'm taking this entry to shirk my responsibilities and just write in a stream of consciousness manner.
Two years out of college (okay, 2 years and 3 months but don't tell anyone), I've gained some insight on life, a sense of what I might want to accomplish in my career and 20 lbs. What's more, I thought I knew everything in college and now, I feel like I know nothing at all. Yes, it's a bit cliche, but it's not just what I don't know in marketing; marketing, as we know it, is changing completely. Okay, there will still be the 3 Cs (company, consumer, competitors), the 4 Ps (product, price, placement, promotion), the infamous SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats), Porter's 5 forces plus internet and a plethora of other acronyms that's supposed to make us marketing/consulting types look smart… err… find the right niche in target markets, branding and profitability. But how we communicate to our audience is forever changing (hopefully for the better).
Living through that change and watching PR professionals blunder and companies fail is painful. But the future is also bright. And I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Not that I know everything, but I'm starting to understand the process by which I can stay ahead of the curve, constantly try new things and fail a few times myself.
So what do I do?
- Read my Google Reader religiously
- Interests include design, PR, marketing, communications, technology, news, consumer blogs and lolcats/pundit kitchen/fail blog to keep me coming back.
- Read lots of books
- Attend interesting events and parties
- Talk to people
- Pray a little
- Study my own strengths and weaknesses through working with other people, meeting new people and mixing in other interests (graphic design, web design, Tumbling, drawing, reading, etc.)
- Trying new things… websites, programs, etc.
- Through trial and error, find out where my strengths and my interests intersect.
- I'm good at designing things, I like social media, and I love strategy (no examples b/c I like my PR agency and want them to keep liking me :-) ).
- But… I'm an early adopter compared to most of my friends but a lagger within the social media realm. Just because I know how something works, doesn't mean I want to adopt it personally. The same is true for companies who are interested in adopting social media in their marketing. They need to understand what part of social media makes the most sense for them. If their customers blog, then they should learn how to communicate via the comments section or even try it out themselves. If their industry is Web 2.0 (ugh) facing, they should try everything hire a community manager.
I'm still not 'there' yet in terms to knowing what's my ultimate career goal. With lots of help from my manager (hands down, so amazing that I will join a "my manager is better than your manager" competition, if one exists, and kick all y'all asses! :-P ) and lots of time doing the above, I'm slowly getting there.
I feel like we should all hold hands and sing Kumbaya now… Yeah, definitely bedtime. :-)

Product Information
- KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat from Chicco
- We recommend this product for ages 0 and up
What It Is
Installing a car seat properly in your car is key to your child's safety, and the KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is a rear-facing car seat that makes it a little easier to install. Like most car seats, there are two ways to install the base: the latch system or seat belt. The KeyFit 30 has a spring-assisted level foot and a center pull latch adjustment that not only make it easier to install, but also ensure that you've installed it correctly, which is really the most important thing. There are even bubble levels on both sides of the base so you can see that it's at the correct angle. Once the base is installed, the carrier easily clicks into the base.
There are a lot of safety features to this car seat, and hopefully you won't need to use these, but just in case of an accident, it's great to know they do exist. Energy-absorbing foam provides extra impact protection. There is also a removable insert for smaller babies between 4–11 pounds, which offers extra support around the head, neck, and back, and also makes babies more secure in the seat itself. The seat pad is thickly cushioned, and there's a five-point harness, so in addition to safety, these also provide additional comfort for baby, which is great for those long car rides.
The harness straps have three adjustable heights so you can change it as your baby grows. To loosen the straps, press the orange button. Once your baby is secured, pull the grey strap to tighten. You would also adjust the chest bar accordingly, and it should be about armpit height.
The infant carrier itself easily detaches by lifting the orange handle in the back. And then you can carry your baby around in it. It also weighs less than 20 pounds, but keep in mind that it feels a lot heavier once you have an actual baby in it.
When you want to put the carrier down, the handle has three positions: up for carrying, back, and stand, which keeps the carrier from rocking. In the carry or back positions, you can rock the carrier, which is a great feature if you want to rock your baby to sleep.
There is also a retractable canopy shade, though this one is pretty stiff and not the easiest to adjust. We wish it came out farther because as it is now, it won't provide much sun protection.
There are 19 different styles of the KeyFit 30 to choose from, each with its own unique color combination and pattern.
Is It Fun?
The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat provides comfort, safety, and convenience to babies and parents. Parents will like that the car seat is easy to install and actually helps them know when they've installed it properly.
Who It's For
The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is for babies from 4–30 pounds and up to 30 inches in height.
What To Be Aware Of
While your baby is still little, you can also use the carrier with different Chicco travel systems, including the Chicco Cortina, Cortina Together, KeyFit Caddy, S3, and the lightweight plush strollers.
The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is available at Target.

On June 17, 2013, at approximately 12:30 hours, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office responded to a shooting at the Sunoco gas Station located on Hwy 71 south in Marianna. Upon arrival it was determined that several shots had been fired into a vehicle and one motorcyclist had been struck by the vehicle.
Investigators determined that the altercation stemmed from a road rage incident that had previously occurred on Interstate 10 between a motorist and three motorcyclists. Investigators have worked since that date interviewing witnesses and collecting and reviewing evidence to determine the facts of the incident.
On June 24, 2013, Investigators with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office obtained an Arrest Warrant for Kevin Denkevitz of Sanford, North Carolina for the charges of Aggravated Assault with a Firearm and Shooting into an Occupied Vehicle. An additional Arrest Warrant was obtained by the Sheriff's Office for Craig Mathew Frederickson of Maple Hill, North Carolina for the charges of Burglary of an Occupied Conveyance with Battery and Criminal Mischief greater than $200.00.
On June 25, 2013, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Kevin Denkevitz and Craig Frederickson turned themselves in at the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Denkevitz and Frederickson were arrested on the above mentioned warrants and housed in the Jackson County Jail to await First Appearances.
On June 26, 2013, at approximately 12:35 a.m. the third motorcyclist involved in the incident was pronounce dead at Bay Medical Center. Terry Gibbs, 56, of North Carolina, died after being hospitalized for 10 days. An autopsy will be performed today.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office is being assisted by Florida Department of Law Enforcement, State Attorney's Office of the 14 Judicial Circuit and the Florida Highway Patrol in this Investigation.
A road rage incident just West of Marianna in Jackson County ended up as a shooting at a truck stop. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office said the road rage and shooting incident happened between a group of three motorcyclists who were traveling together and a family in a pick-up truck.
It happened around lunchtime Monday about 30 to 50 miles West of the Interstate 10 Exit at Highway 71 just South of Marianna.
"There's some indication that someone tried to pass someone, maybe cut them off too quick, maybe the weather was causing spray to get on the motorcycles," said Sheriff Lou Roberts
The two groups coincidentally ended up at the same gas station at about the same time. Sheriff Roberts said that's when things re-escalated.
Investigators believe one motorcyclist began firing multiple shots at the truck driver while he was still in the vehicle with his family. The truck driver then pushed the motorcyclists into a fence with his pick up.
The motorcyclist was taken to a Bay County hospital with severe injuries.
Investigators continue to talk to witnesses and the four drivers involved. No one was shot Monday afternoon. Also, no one has been arrested, but the incident remains under investigation.

A Broken Arrow man is facing numerous charges after he held police at bay following a six hour standoff, Sunday Night.
Officers say they responded to a domestic disturbance call near 193rd East Avenue and 61st Street around 4:30 Sunday afternoon.
Police say John Pruner, 32, held his wife and toddler hostage inside the home. Police say Pruner threatened to "kill everyone in the residence" if officers did not leave.
According to a report issued by Broken Arrow Police, Monday Morning, the victim informed officers that Pruner physically and sexually assaulted her while he held a handgun in one hand and refused to allow her or the toddler to leave.
Eventually the wife was able to escape the residence, the toddler was released a short time later.
Pruner was taken to an are hospital for evaluation following the standoff. Police say Pruner had numerous weapons inside the home at the time.
The female victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment and evaluation. According to police, the toddler showed no sign of physical injury.
During the standoff, neighbors in the area were evacuated. "They evacuated us from our house because the individual could have armor piercing rounds and the bullets could travel through the house," said Kyle Stett.
When asked to describe his neighbor, Stett said, "he likes to sit in a lawn chair at the top of his driveway and just stare at you as you drive by, it's kind of an eerie feeling, didn't' know if he was all there or not really."
Pruner is facing charges of domestic assault and battery (strangulation), assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and first degree rape.

Alex J. Fox from Columbia is the newest member of the CapedWonder Network. He's a regular on Facebook and has contributed some great material and useful information about the Superman movies and comics. Thanks for your support Alex! Below are some interesting images he sent me recently.
"Hi Jim, Those ads were recreated by me, after having access to the digital files of a colombian news paper called "El Tiempo". Hope that you enjoy them and will be part of the site. The first one belongs to a Superman TV marathon aired between September and October, 1988. This one featured the Salkind movies and the CBS birthday special hosted by Dana Carvey."
"Hi Jim. this photo was taken in the same theatre where I saw "Superman III" during the 1983 Christmas season. And there's a story about it: I saw "Superman" in cinemas in a Bogota zone called "Chapinero". All these theatres were located in a 6 block ratium. Of those theatres, Aladino (pictured here) turned into a XXX cinema, before their demolition in 1995 and was turned into a office and school supplies store. "Royal Plaza", where I saw the first movie was turned into a concert hall. "Astor Plaza" ("Superman II") turned into an event center, for conventions, TV shows and concerts. Finally, the Libertador Theatre closed their doors in 2007, to became into a party place called "Vinacure". I also included a retouched press add for the premiere of "Supergirl" in December, 1984."

Last month, at the event, "Superman at 75: Celebrating America's Most Enduring Hero", marking Superman's 75th birthday at the Center for Jewish History, former DC Comics president Jenette Kahn noted the enduring importance of the rescue of Frisky the cat in Superman-The Movie:
"If Superman didn't do the small jobs, he wouldn't have the common touch," Kahn observed. "Even in the great first Superman movie he rescues a kitten from a tree. And you always need that part, you need the grounded part of Superman that shows that he cares about the ordinary event that means so much on a personal basis to…the girl who's lost her cat. Without that, Superman would be a little too grandiose."
Richard Donner's film crew preps for another take with Christopher Reeve on the underground set in Superman-The Movie. Note Chris hanging from wires in the background. Click here to see more 'Superfeats'.
Here's a series of rare photos of Christopher Reeve on wires on the Daily Planet/Metropolis set in Pinewood Studios in June 1977. These follow Superman's surprise arrival outside the window of Perry White's office and subsequent battle with the villains above the streets of Metropolis in Richard Donner's version of the first movie sequel released as the "Donner Cut" in 2006. All photo from the CapedWonder™ Collection.

A brand new scan and restoration of this Superman pose shot on the Fortress interior set at Shepperton Studios in May 1977. Note the early look of Chris' Superman – longer, "poofier" hair, and a more thickly padded cape at the shoulders. Also of note is that during the first six or so months of Donner's filming (STM and SII), the chest 'S' shields were usually more symmetrical and the 'S' itself had a thicker bottom curve.

Here's a scan from Bill Brodie's (Superman-The Movie's Supervising Art Director for Canada and New Mexico) original scouting negatives showing the condition of the Kent farm when it was found in Canada in 1977. The structures were built in 1917 and needed quite a bit of work to bring it up to 1950s standards for the movie. Among the farm house additions were a second upstairs dormer in Clark Kent's room facing the barn and a window next to the kitchen door facing the beautiful canola fields behind the house.

I've always had a soft spot for Yoda, which makes Stuart's passing all the more sad for me.
Thank you Stuart Freeborn for all of your remarkable gifts! Our lives have been enriched because of you. You will be greatly missed here at CapedWonder™.com. Our sincerest condolences to Stuart's family, friends and movie mates.
Stuart was also the creative supervisor of makeup & special visuals for Superman-The Movie, and worked on all four (yes, four) sequels. Below are photos of Stuart with Christopher Reeve taken in Gallup, New Mexico in June 1978.

Artist Des Taylor continues to amaze with his retro-cool portfolio of Super artwork that's not to be missed! The first piece is in anticipation of next month's Valentine's Day and the second piece is inspired by Superman's rescue of Frisky the Cat in Superman-The Movie. Count on seeing much more from this very busy and enthusiastic artist! Check out his website here.
Featured below are authentic Christopher Reeve autographs. His most common style are what I call the "rushed" versions where he shorted the length of "Christopher" and stacked his first and last name (here's an example of where Chris had very little time to sign everyone's papers, photos, etc., because of the circumstances).
Consider yourself Super fortunate if you have an autograph like the first six shown below where Chris had more of an opportunity to take his time and signed "Christopher" written out (nearly) completely.
Got an in-person Christopher Reeve autograph or one that's be authenticated by a professional autograph authentication organization? Sent me a scan!

I just learned today that Superman-The Movie's dialogue editor and Superman II's dubbing editor, Michael Hopkins, drowned in a rafting accident on December 31, 2012 in New Zealand. Mr. Hopkins had an amazing resume. He will be missed and CapedWonder™.com extends its most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
BBC Radio presents Christopher Reeve on the Desert Island Discs series, recorded on April 7, 1984. I was quite pleased to learn that among Chris Reeve's musical selections is a personal favorite of mine by Brian Eno entitled "An Ending (Ascent)" from 'Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks', a brilliant piece that deserves to be listened to with full-size earphones without interruptions or distractions. It transcended me into another place the very first time I heard it, and it stops me dead in my tracks whenever it plays. Chris talks about "An Ending (Ascent)" at 28:47, where a portion of the track can be heard. Download the full track here.
Featuring a rare CapedWonder™ photo from the mugger scene rehearsals in Superman-The Movie shot in July 1977 in New York City. Notice that the actor portraying the mugger is not the one we see in the final movie. Inside the alley, by the way, was filmed many months later in the wintertime at Pinewood Studios.

A very special tribute to Christopher Reeve using Chris' lifemask. Photography by Ramón Casares.
Here's what Ramón has to say about this photo:
"Despite his spinal cord injury, Christopher Reeve never lost his good will, happiness and hope. He even had the power to inspire many people. He had the spirit to help others in his same situation. He was indeed, Golden Inside."
Ian Rialdi has created yet another excellent art piece that really captures the "friend" essence of Superman as portrayed by Christopher Reeve; hence, the title of the piece – 'A Friend'. You can see Ian's huge Christopher Reeve art here.

"Superman is a big fish in a small pond. He's Superman on Earth only because he's in a different solar system. If he'd grown up on Krypton, if Krypton had not been destroyed, he might have been average — nothing special about him. That allowed me to underplay the character and make him quite casual." — Christopher Reeve

Nocturne is proud to return to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Tiger Jam benefit in Las Vegas. From the first Tiger Jam featuring the Eagles (1998), and later shows starring Christina Aguilera (2000), Prince (2004), and Bon Jovi (2003), Nocturne has provided video support for the event.
Music legend Bon Jovi returned to headline this year's Tiger Jam X, the 10th annual celebration of the benefit in Las Vegas. Hosted at the Mandalay Hotel on the strip, the highly successful annual affair helped raise funds for the Tiger Woods Foundation.
Bon Jovi performed a crowd pleasing set, mixing hits like "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Bad Medicine" with new songs from their recent country-tinged release, "Lost Highway". As soon as the band took the stage, seats became unnecessary as the audience spent the entire show on their feet, dancing and singing along.
Presented by AT&T Saturday May 26, the show continued the tradition of unforgettable concerts celebrating the benefit. Since 1998 the event has raised more than $10 million for the TW Foundation and select Las Vegas charities thru ticket sales for the perennialy sold-out event and charity auctions of hundreds of items donated by a wide variety of musicians and sports celebrities.
After an introduction by Will Ferrell, American Idol finalist Daughtry opened the show with an energetic set, showing the crowd why he was rated so high on the popular television show. His debut album has sold over 2 million copies and his career is still on the rise with his new number one single "It's Not Over."
This years' sold-out concert, and unique auction items such as a trip to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing raised over $1.5 million for the charity.

100 years ago, a legendary pilot made the first ever trek across Lake Michigan by plane. Monday, his grand-daughter took the same flight in his memory.
Faith Vilas is a third generation pilot. "I knew I wanted to be a pilot when I was a kid, I knew I wanted to fly when I was like 5 or 6."
Now at 61 she is honoring her legendary grandfather Logan Vilas. "Essentially it was something he really wanted to accomplish."
She says the trip was more dangerous for her grandfather in 1913. Consider this, Vilas flew across the lake, 14 years BEFORE Charles Lindbergh made the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean. "This is a long distance over open water, that's not something that's encouraged for a small plane. He liked to test limits of things and enjoyed that. I think the difference between him being 21 doing this and me being 61 makes it a little less like I want to tempt fate."
Which is why she says preparations have taken months, but Monday morning she was ready to take the Cessna 185 from Southwest Michigan Regional Airport in Benton Harbor to Navy Pier in Chicago. She says her grandfather would have encouraged her to make this flight, just like he encouraged her to pursue a pilot's license at age 17. "I grew up thinking why shouldn't I fly? I never grew up thinking it was unusual to become a pilot."
She says he inspired her to take risks. "I love to fly, I understand why he liked it, I understand the interest and adventure for him."
And Monday she says was all about him.
FOX28 called Faith after she touched down in Chicago. She was able to land the amphibious plane in the water by Navy Pier. "I
am so glad to complete this journey successfully on the 100th
anniversary of my grandfather's landing – at that time, the longest
flight over water in aviation
history," Vilas said. "This is the culmination of years of work on the
part of admirers of his accomplishment, and it is great to complete
this effort on behalf of family and friends, and especially in honor of
my grandfather." She says it took her just under an hour to get there.
What's her next stop? It just might be a trip to space as part of the Planetary Science Institute's suborbital observatory project.

Overall the ships Rivera and main deck had a bad smell- ?carpet chemicals or something. Our cabin was clean- but that room steward was something else. This was a re-positioning cruise so I wonder if that was part of it but still no reason for poor customer treatment. Many people we chatted with felt that Carnival indeed has slipped alot. The return guest reception was horrific- sweet drink and a cold hunk of looked like pizza.
We just felt all wrong about this cruise.

Tuesday marks the final day to register to vote for the November 6th election.
County election offices around Southwest Florida have been getting lots of new voters signed up just in time to meet the deadline.
More than 7,500 people have registered in Lee County since August's primary election, bringing the total number of registered voters in the county to about 385,000.
Republicans make up the largest number of registered voters in Lee County but the elections office says the number of recent Republican and Democrat registrations have remained fairly equal.
There are two ways to register to vote before the deadline.
You can register in person before 5:00 p.m. or send your registration by mail, as long as it is postmarked with today's date.
It's also recommended that you check your voter registration to make sure it hasn't expired.
"It's almost two and a half, three years before we remove anyone, but I've received a number of phone calls and emails from people who haven't voted since 2004," says Lee Co. Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington.
Offices in Lee County close at 5:00 p.m. today.
Charlotte County has extended their hours to 7:00 p.m. tonight and Collier County has extended their hours until 8:00 p.m.

Heineman honored by Veterans' group; kicks off public awareness campaign
The National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs (NASDVA) announced the association's "Advocate of the Year" award to Gov. Dave Heineman, for his work on behalf of military service members, veterans and their families. NASDVA made the February announcement at a conference of state VA directors held in Alexandria, Va.
Among Nebraska's veterans outreach initiatives, NASDVA applauded Gov. Heineman for his involvement in publicizing the state's "Not One More Life!" campaign that brings public awareness to the growing problem of military and veteran suicides. The campaign will include bumper stickers promoting the crisis line, 1-800-273-TALK, and radio public service announcements. Heineman kicked off the state's campaign at a news conference Friday with military and veteran leaders.
State VA directors also credited Gov. Heineman for taking a personal interest in promoting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce "Hiring Our Heroes" program; a national initiative that encourages employers to hire veterans.

Tom O'Shaughnessy was the president of the Catlin Board of Education when I was hired to be the school superintendent. I found the leadership of Mr. O'Shaughnessy to be exemplary and inspirational.
Tom was a leader who set the bar high to attain achievement and success. Throughout his 18 years on Catlin's school board, he has demonstrated that his commitment to public service is second to none.
Tom understands, practices, and even teaches other government officials the leadership skills and government transparency practices that lead to successful outcomes for communities.
The fundraising effort to build an all-weather track at Catlin High School is a shining example of community engagement that Tom initiated and helped organize.
I have worked with numerous elected officials and I place Mr. 'Shaughnessy at the top of the list when considering ethics, integrity, and hard work.
Please consider casting your vote on Nov. 6 for Tom O'Shaughnessy to be your county recorder.

Chris Wondolowski tied Roy Lassiter's 16-year-old record for most goals scored in a single MLS season to give the San Jose Earthquakes a 1-0 lead over the Portland Timbers on Saturday. The record-tying goal came on a penalty, with Wondolowski sending a low shot to the left corner that got past goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, who guessed the right direction.
As of this writing, Wondolowski has about 55 minutes to break the record.
The hard work for the goal was done by Steven Lenhart, who drew the penalty. The big forward got behind the defense, then rounded Ricketts, who was forced to take him down from behind. Although it appeared that Ricketts got some of the ball, he put himself in a vulnerable position by letting Lenhart get behind him and definitely made contact.
Lassiter's record was set in the inaugural season of MLS. Two other players had come within one goal, but no one had even scored more than 20 since 2002 when Carlos Ruiz (24) and Taylor Twellman (23) each managed that.

Q. My 18-year-old son recently went to a party where there was drinking and no adult supervision. The party got a little out of control and the police showed up. My son is being charged with interfering with an arrest (the police arrested one of his friends). I think he understands his actions were wrong, but I am concerned about how this behavior might progress when he goes to college in the fall. He has been a pretty normal teenager throughout high school, getting average grades and working part-time at our local supermarket. I know he's attended parties before, but until now he has usually acted responsibly. I want to help him understand that this kind of behavior could damage him for life. Can you offer any advice about how I should handle this situation?
A. Once a teen turns 18 and is off to college, your parenting roll shifts tremendously. The morals you've taught begin more than ever to play themselves out in the real world. Ask our son if he knows what he did was wrong. If he says "yes," that's good. You hope that he now knows that interfering with an arrest is wrong. At the time of the incident, he probably thought he was doing the right thing by protecting his friend. Moving out into the real world presents real-life consequences.
It's time to discuss other potentially unlawful situations that might arise when at college. Young adults often don't know that certain actions are unlawful acts -- instead they think of them as minor misbehavior or possibly an innocent prank. The real world presents new rules to play by, and many young adults don't know the rules.
If your son has an older cousin or family friend who currently attends or recently graduated from college, ask him or her to spend some time with your son and tell him of unlawful situations he might encounter.
Some include:
Minor in position of an alcoholic beverage: A person under the age of 21 can't carry an alcoholic beverage in public, even in a nondescript container.
Having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle: If your son is driving a car, not drinking alcohol himself, but his passengers are, he -- the driver -- is responsible for those open containers of alcohol in the car he's driving.
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor: This charge has many implications, the most obvious is that when your son turns 21, if he buys alcohol for a minor, he can be arrested for this unlawful act.
These are only a few laws your son needs to be aware of now that he's over 18 and about to head off to college.
Forewarning a young adult is good. It's important to know, however, that there's a difference between knowing what's right and doing it. It involves the difference between self-control and a conscience. The conscience is just the voice inside a person's head that tells him what he's doing is wrong. Self-control is what keeps the person from actually doing it.
The goal is that your son will do what's right and lawful even when no one is watching. You trust that he'll be able to step away from his peers and do what's right even if everyone else is doing what's wrong. Lastly you hope that he'll do what's right even if the only person he hurts by doing wrong is himself.

Hello everyone!
May has already passed by and I'm ending May withmy May's Favourite. In this post I will show you all my favourites from May! I'm going to do lots more of these kind of posts. I hope you all wil like this! :)
Beauty Favourite
I really love my skin and probably you have already notice it through my my skincare products post. Since it getting a lot warmer these days and summer is on it's way. That means to me that I have to prepare my skin and let it feel the warmth, haha. That's why the Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub is my beauty favourite!
Fashion Favourite
My Fashion Favourite is the urban buttons. Even though it doesn't fit in the Spring and Summer seasons it's still my may favourite! I really like this kind of style. But unfortunately this style doesn't always fits me. :(
Music Favourite
Maybe some of you might know that I'm a big fan of Beyonce. So, my May's Music Favourite is Beyonce's Pretty hurts!!! This song is really beautiful and has a beautiful meaning. This was probably also the first song I liked from her latest album. I actually didn't really like her latest album, but as some of you might know that I went to the Beyonce concert in March. And it was incredible! She sang the songs way better than on the album which made me like her last album, haha. This prove that Beyonce is a very good live singer!!!
Happy Moments Favourite
I have a lot of happy moments have happened this month, but which really kept with me was that I was accepted for a higher education on the secondary school. This really made me happy, because I don't really know what I wanted to do and since my grades weren't really good so I had to hope that they accept me. And in the end it happened, so I was really lucky! What also made me happy and what I also think as a happy moment was that I was accepted for my work at Tokyoto in Maastricht. I was really in need for work to have some money.
Blog Favourite
I have my blog already for 6 months, but nothing really special has happened to me which related my blog. But it was also because I didn't update enough which kinda upset me. So, I kinda regret that. Now, that I am free from school and have nothing really much important going on anymore that is related to school. I can blog all the time! So, you can except a lot of new, cool and fun things coming up!
These were my favourite of May. I hope you all liked it! Do you have any cool May Favourite? Let me know in the comment section below!

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - An Eastern Shore middle school student is heading to Washington D.C. to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.Khaled Mohamed, a Bennett Middle School 7th grader won the inaugural University of Maryland Eastern Shore Spelling Bee.
Khaled spelled 33 words correctly. His winning word was "eulogy." WMDT caught up with the champion who told us about his "unique" routine.
"I ate Salmon because it's good for brain power," said Mohamed. "This morning, I ate blueberries because that's also good for brain. The food played a good part in it, too."This was Khaled's very first spelling bee. He says he's excited for D.C. and doesn't get nervous in front of crowds.
We are told that Khaled
won an all-expenses paid trip to the finals, courtesy of the regional spelling
bee sponsor, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Also, he received a medallion and a Merriam-Webster 3rd-edition unabridged dictionary.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee will be held on May 28th-30th.

Amtrak Chicago-Urbana!!.. pumped
thanks for the tips
only 3 metro areas smaller than Columbus have more than one pro team... N.O. Buffalo Milwaukee and none have NHL+NBA
I like the effort but this is never happening...
1. Columbus already has an NHL team... it would be one thing if they added a team that didn't play the exact same season of the year...
2. The website is misleading...
- yes Columbus is 15th in city size but that is irrelevant... they are 30-32 in the different metropolitan/urban area statistics that are actually used for population base
- the site mentions like 6 cities that are smaller which have an NBA team... but that again is irrelevant b/c you'd want to find smaller cities that have 2 or more pro sports teams as this is the category Columbus would be in with an NBA team. Memphis, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Portland, OKC, etc are no different than Columbus, ONE professional sports team.
definitely just semantics... like I said, still impressive...
still impressive but why would you put 3rd when Ohio St is 4th on the list?

It's always hard to review an album like Morbid Angel's Covenant. For the most part, Covenant is considered a classic album of the early death metal scene, and as a result it's difficult to truly listen to it or review it objectively. Stripping away the album's reputation, Covenant is revealed as a good (but not great) album from death metal's formative years.
The album kicks things off right from the start with "Rapture," easily one of the strongest songs on here. It's fast, thrashy, and it's got some [...] riffs. It's the perfect way to start the album, and if every song on here was as good as it, Covenant might be worthy of 5 stars. But alas, it's not to be…
The next song is "Pain Divine," a good song, not as good as "Rapture", but still an enjoyable listen. "[...] (The Promised Land)" (great title!) mixes it up a little bit with a slow, slightly doomy intro, before breaking into a furious barrage of fast riffing and blastbeats. It's a great song, and the solos of Trey Azagthoth make it all the better.
Unfortunately, here's where the album starts to slip. "Vengeance Is Mine" is fast and brutal, yet ultimately forgettable. "The Lion's Den" is slightly better, reclaiming the passion found in the first three songs. However, the next song, "Blood On My Hands" is utterly unremarkable.
If there's one saving grace on this album, it's defintely track seven. "Angel Of Disease" was originally written as a demo track but rerecorded by Morbid Angel for Covenant. I've heard some say that it seems out of place here as a result, but in reality, it's the one song that saves this album. Starting off with some terrific soloing, "Angel" soon breaks into a barrage of catchy riffs and ridiculous pace changes. The guitar solos on here are simply incredible. At six minutes in length, I'd venture to say at least two to three minutes of that is pure soloing, which makes for an awesome track. Six minutes is over far too soon.
Coming off the adrenaline high brought on by "Angel Of Disease", the next song, "Sworn To The Black", continues right where "Blood On My Hands" left off. That is, of course, utter mediocrity. "Sworn" is simply boring. It's got decent riffing, decent soloing, but it's all just decent.
Finally, we have the closing duo "Nar Mattaru" and "God Of Emptiness." "Nar" is a creepy instrumental intended to set the mood for the final track, and to be honest, I think it works pretty well. Once "God Of Emptiness" rears it's blasphemous head, it's an interesting affair from then on. The song is slow and doomy, with some bizarre spoken vocals. As a Morbid Angel song, it's not that great, as the slow pace and lack of decent soloing make it somewhat mundane. As the final track however, it works well at closing off the album, being so unique and doomy.
As the closing chants of "Bow to me faithfully…" fade away, one is finally able to realize the simple yet fundamental flaw of Covenant: there's simply a glaringly obvious lack of good songs. At 10 tracks in length, one of these is an instrumental, one ("God Of Emptiness") is too bizarre to work as anything but the closer, and three ("Blood On My Hands", "Vengeance", and "Sworn") seen too much like filler. What you're left with is five thoroughly enjoyable Morbid Angel songs. Not only is this far too few for a full-length album, but considering "Angel Of Disease" wasn't even originally written for Covenant, it's definitely dissapointing.
However, one shouldn't be too hard on this album. The good songs are really good, ranking right up there with Morbid Angel's best works. The riffs, while being somewhat of a mixed bag, mostly come out ahead. The guitar solos, especially on "Angel Of Disease", are simply magnificent. As a matter of fact, I'd go as far to say the guitar solos on here are the best of Morbid Angel's career thus far. Unlike on Altars Of Madness, Trey's shredding on here is right where it should be in the mix, and has just the right melodic touch to make it something really special.
David Vincent's vocal performance on here is also notable. While he favored a tortured, higher pitched rasp on previous albums, Covenant sees him unleash a slightly deeper growl on some tracks, which gives the music a nice brutal edge. The drumming, while nothing really remarkable, holds everything together nicely and shows off some nice fills every now and then.
Unfortunately, the high quantity of forgettable tracks really drags everything down. Had Morbid Angel taken the time to write more standout tracks like "Rapture" and "[...]", Covenant definitely could have been a lot better. Sure, all the right elements are in place, and it's definitely an enjoyable album, but there's simply too many forgettable moments on here to warrant "classic" status. If you want to experience Morbid Angel at their absolute finest, I'd recommend picking up their debut, Altars Of Madness. That album does not have a single forgettable song on it. Covenant, unfortunately, just has far too many.

As with every holiday season, gas prices are expected to rise as people begin to travel.
Because gas station can charge a pretty penny when you fill up, here's some steps to maximize your vehicles gas efficiency:
- Make sure your tires are properly inflated before leaving for a lengthy trip
- Also make sure your car is fully serviced
- Avoid traveling too fast; 75 mph may be tempting, but your car will be the most efficient traveling around 62 mph
- Whenever possible, use cruise control to limit your breaking and accelerating
- Remove anything you don't need in your car; you'll get better gas mileage if you keep your car light
- Use technology to watch out for traffic congestion; breaking and accelerating uses up more gas
- For that same reason, avoid travel at peak hours
- Make sure you always have an emergency plan

The above image has been going around Facebook to the same devastating results as the "When did this…become hotter than this…?" meme. Both images were taken from advertising and marketing campaigns by two large companies, Dove and Victoria's Secret, who have been appropriating body positivity to continue to profit off of people's insecurities. While the sale of false body positivity is all I see in these images, Facebook responded positively to Dove's ad campaign and negatively to Victoria's Secret's.
These reactions of "ew, gross, way too skinny" about the VS models are not at all body-positive, and the celebration of Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign gives them far too much credit.
Dove's Real Beauty campaign showcases women whose bodies fall on the societally acceptable side of normal. While people love to tell a size 0 VS model to "eat a damn sandwich," the same people appreciate Dove's campaign, which only celebrates the size 6, size 8, size 10, maybe size 12 curves of a conventionally attractive woman. Dove's Real Beauty Campaign is just a marketing front for selling a line of "firming creams" to women with insecurities about "flab" and cellulite. Does Dove's campaign ad show a few more women of color, a few more "curvy" women, and a little bit less retouching than Victoria's Secret's ads do? Yes. But is Dove really the savior of women everywhere whose self-esteem is continuously torn down by our culture and media? Not a chance.
Dove's Real Beauty Campaign has been around for a few years now and the criticisms of it are widely documented. Now, Victoria's Secret–the cultural gatekeeper of sexual perfection and unattainable bodies–has weakly used body-positive language to sell bras to women who may worry that their partners prefer watching the VS fashion show to looking at their imperfect bodies. Even though "I Love My Body" is very weakly tied to actual bodies– the bras they are selling as called "Body" bras, so really it's just "I Love My Bra"– the use of a body-positive statement to sell products is offensive.
Dove, Victoria's Secret, and those who celebrate these campaigns need to understand that loving your body, appreciating real beauty, and being body-positive is incompatible with buying products to make you do so. These pathetic marketing campaigns continue to profit off our insecurities when the truth is that self-esteem cannot be bought. The same fake endorsements of body-positivity can be seen in Julia Bluhm and Spark Summit's recent "success" in getting Seventeen Magazine to stop airbrushing models. While Seventeen talks the talk with its diplomacy with Bluhm and its "Body Peace Treaty," the magazine cannot celebrate real bodies because it makes its business by advertising to girls that they need certain products to be prettier, cooler, sexier, and more desirable.
What is the solution to this? We all need to buy soap or lotion or those special halter-back bras from Victoria's Secret; companies make a business selling us things. So buy the things you need–but don't let them convince you that you "need" something to make you sexier, prettier, more confident, or more desirable. Be critical of advertising and don't fall for the celebration of "body-positive advertising" that is just another front for manipulative marketing. Criticize the sexism, the airbrushing, and the message that you are not good enough. And don't tell the VS model to eat a sandwich.
