They found Rick after he woke up, and explained to him what was going on. Rick gave him a radio so they could keep in contact. He returns in Season 3, having gone mad with grief after losing his son to the Walkers. [[spoiler: In season five, he's following the Hunters' trail, and ends up on Rick's trail after finding a lead on him.]]----* AdaptationalBadass: The comic book version of Morgan was much less capable of kicking ass, having never fortified the town or built booby-traps, and could barely get a headshot on a walker.* TheAtoner: For not being able shoot his un-dead wife before she bites their son, he puts himself in a self-imposed penance to clear the town of walkers out of the area.* CastingGag[=/=]ShoutOut: To ''Series/{{Jericho}}''. The scene in which Morgan appears to shoot his wife is shot from the same angle, and is almost identical, to a scene in which Robert Hawkins is defending the titular town.* ChristianityIsCatholic: Seems to be, as he gripped a set of beads [[spoiler: while praying in Gabriel's church]].* CoolShades: Sports one [[spoiler: in Season 5]].* CrazyPrepared: By Season 3, his new base has been laced with booby traps for Walkers and even outlined with escape routes using drawn arrows on the ground for every possible scenario. Also his firearms and ammunition stock...* CrazySurvivalist: By Season 3, he's become hardened to the realities of the zombie apocalypse. Seems that [[spoiler:he got better prior to the Season 5 premiere]]* CrusadingWidower: After losing his wife, and then son, he becomes a very dark take of this trope.* DeathSeeker: Shows signs of this after the loss of his wife, which might likely have prompted [[IdiotBall his actions]] at the end of the pilot. He later begs Rick to shoot him because [[ICannotSelfTerminate he couldn't bring himself to commit suicide]].* DespairEventHorizon: Duane being turned by his Walker-turned wife, which he was previously unable to bring himself to kill.* FallenHero: In Season 3. Duane's death turned Morgan almost completely insane, booby trapping an entire town, and robbing and threatening travelers.* {{Foil}}[=/=]ShadowArchetype: Just like Shane became a sort of EvilCounterpart to Rick, so has Morgan become an extreme, darker reflection of what Rick could've become in Season 3, and Rick himself realizes this. Rick's attempts to bring Morgan back with him to the prison sound like Rick attempting to give advice to himself to prevent himself from going further into SanitySlippage.* FromNobodyToNightmare: An interesting case, considering he was just a father trying to look out for his son. When his son died after being attacked by Morgan's Walker wife, the one he failed to stop, Morgan's outlook just changed. Collecting enough guns to start a war, he then manages to turn King County into one big old deathtrap for Walkers and for anyone else that came through town.* HeWhoFightsMonsters: In "Clear", he talks about this trope, in particular how he's become as uncaring as the walkers.* GenreSavvy: One of the few characters to wear body armour and a bulletproof helmet most of the time, which saves his life in season 3.* GrammarNazi: Very understated version: Despite the end of the world, he feels it is important for his son to use proper grammar.* HeroOfAnotherStory: After Rick leaves him and Duane. But when he returns in Season 3, Morgan has ''changed''. Since season three, he's been on his own journey to find Rick, coming across the destroyed prison and [[spoiler: Gabriel's church.]]* IconicOutfit: His sunglasses, face wrap, beige shirt and jacket, and black helmet. [[spoiler: They're some of the few belongings he kept with him travelling.]]* IdiotBall: Firing his sniper rifle at zombies to attract a horde around his house (which his son is in!) so he can shoot his zombified wife. He doesn't even manage to do that. That said, some [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation interpret]] his actions as [[BolivianArmyEnding intentional]]. He later admits that he lacked the strength to shoot his wife, which came back to haunt him when she followed them on a supply hunt and bit their son.* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler: Morgan followed Rick's directions to the prison, then followed tracks of prison survivors to Terminus, then the Hunters' markings on trees all in effort to find Rick or those that know him. He finally gets a solid lead in Coda.]]* KillTheOnesYouLove: Forced by circumstances to kill his wife and son.* MadnessMantra: The word "Clear", from the episode of the same name, is written all over his house.* MissedHimByThatMuch: [[spoiler: Morgan is around two to three weeks behind the main cast, based on how overgrown and tarnished Rick's sign is by the time he finds it.]]* MrExposition: He explains to Rick about the Walkers, and also tells him about the evacuation zone in Atlanta.* MyGreatestFailure: He was basically broken by his losses since he was introduced, the loss of his wife and son.* PapaWolf: To Duane.* PetTheDog: Gently shushes a walker before he puts it down [[spoiler: in the season 5 mid-finale stinger.]]* PutOnABus: At the end of the pilot episode. TheBusCameBack in Season 3, however. [[spoiler: And again in Season 5.]]* RoomFullOfCrazy: His hideout in Season 3 is covered in graffiti to this effect. They seem to tell him of past events, such as the death of Duane and others, as well as reminders of his plans, tactics, and booby traps.* SanitySlippage: After Duane is killed by his zombie wife and he has to put them both down. He writes fanatically on walls including basic reminders, creates death traps for and robs any travellers, and has become obsessed with clearing the town of walkers in a penance for Duane. [[spoiler: By season 5 he's acting much more sane.]]* SimpleStaff: [[spoiler: A walking stick as he travelled from King County to the church, via the prison and Terminus.]]* SixthRanger: [[spoiler: Season 5 is building him up to be the "ultimate addition" to Rick's group.]]* SurvivalistStash: According to AMC, Morgan gathered 59 guns, 5 bows, and 48 grenades. Rick manages to rearm the prison and still leave plenty for Morgan.* TookALevelInBadass: In the first episode Morgan was a fairly rusty shot, and preferred to just hide from walkers. By season 3 he has fortified King County, apparently robbed dozens of people passing through, and came close to killing Rick, Michonne and Carl on his own. [[spoiler: By season 5 he's even more badass now he's sane.]]* WalkingSpoiler: Morgan reappears in season 3 [[spoiler: and in the post-credit scenes of season 5.]]* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler: In season 5, searching for survivors from the prison and Terminus until he discovers Abraham's note to Rick in the church.]]* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one to Rick for not keeping up with his radio messages.[[/folder]][[folder:Duane]]!!Duane Jones[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duane_jones_wdtv_2208.png]]->'''Portrayed by:''' Adrian Kali TurnerDuane is Morgan's son, who is attempting to deal with the loss of his mother and the ZombieApocalypse.

By the time Rick returned to King County, he's already (un)dead and turned into a Walker.* ShovelStrike: In the first episode, he uses this on Rick.* TagAlongKid: Duane didn't do much, considering he was still just a kid. He mostly just followed his father and Rick around, but at least got trained by Rick. He also seemed the most scared of the Walkers, though mostly of his Walker mother. Which causes the death of him in-between seasons.[[/folder]][[folder: Leon Basset]]!!Leon Basset[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LeonBassett_7865.png]]->'''Portrayed by:''' Linds EdwardsLeon is a sheriff's deputy who served alongside Rick and Shane, he was present when Rick was shot.

Why Boeing (BA) Stock Is Gaining Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Boeing Co. (BA - Get Report) are up 1.85% to $124.24 as the company prepares to announce plans this fall to increase production of its single-aisle 737 jet, according to CFO Greg Smith, who said customers continue to pressure Boeing to increase production, and the company will be "addressing that in the next couple of months to come," the Wall Street Journal reports.
Smith said at the Jefferies Group (JEF) investor conference that Boeing had boosted its production rates across all airplane programs 17 times over the past four years, and still had another three to go, including one on its 737, the Journal said.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates BOEING CO as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate BOEING CO (BA) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in stock price during the past year, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, unless broad bear market conditions prevail, we still see more upside potential for this stock, despite the fact that it has already risen over the past year.
- BOEING CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, BOEING CO increased its bottom line by earning $5.97 versus $5.12 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($8.27 versus $5.97).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Aerospace & Defense industry. The net income increased by 51.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1,088.00 million to $1,653.00 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 1.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. When compared to other companies in the Aerospace & Defense industry and the overall market, BOEING CO's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.

Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2013 | Pictures
Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2013
Is there any party like a Stella McCartney pre-collection party? As she's done before, the designer brought her Pre-Fall offering to New York City and presented it as part of a lavish cocktail party. This week's event at the Americas Society drew a number of McCartney's boldfaced fans: Anna Wintour, Garance Doré, and Glenn Close were spotted in the crowd, and so were Alec Baldwin, his wife Hilaria Thomas, and Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld.
But not even stars that bright could outshine the models or what they were wearing: Hanne Gaby Odiele, for example, was spotted sitting on a comfortable-looking chair. If she weren't dressed in head-to-toe McCartney, she would have looked like any other chic partygoer.
That might be because the clothes themselves were designed, in McCartney's words, to "address every need of the modern woman's wardrobe." Odiele's dress was a long-sleeved gown in black and white, but the collection featured plenty of functional coats (some double-breasted varietals feature lapels so wide they span their wearer's shoulders) and no shortage of well-tailored separates. The tone-on-tone floral prints in oxblood and dark blue add visual interest, and so do the stripes in black, white, orange, and red.
A few pictures from the party below, as well as the full collection, here in the gallery.

5 Outstanding sequel and a great movie on it's ownBlackSwordsman | 29/06/2007 | See all BlackSwordsman's reviews (2)This is truly a nobrainer. If you've seen the great Stand Alone Complex series, you followed with the even better SAC 2ng Gig series and you're dying to see if things keep improving: IT IS! SSS picks up a few years after the events of 2nd Gig and it's nothing short of brilliant. Fantastic animation, all the characters you've come to love and a great story. Highly recommended!
5 A fine movieHirsty | 31/08/2007 | See all Hirsty's reviews (21)I was very impressed by the first movie from the Stand alone complex commitee. I expected the animation to be improved and as usual a great twisting plot with excellent character development and fast paced action sequences... needless to say I got what I expected. The animation is fantastic though the animation used in both of the original ghost in the shell movies by Mamarou Oshii (sorry if its mispelt) was superior.There are many opinions as to which is better the original movies or the world of Stand alone complex but for me they're both great. In this movie don't expect as much of the emotion and philosiphy that went into the other ghost in the shell movies. But do expect a very enjoyable and entertaining piece of anime that will leave any action movie fan wanting more. The voice acting is as always superb, other animes can get a bad English voice dub but Ghost in the shell yet again retains a highly talented vocal cast. The soundtrack by Yoko Kanno is another great one for this film providing the exact emotions needed for each scene. The tension at some points in the movie is great I was literally biting my nails at one point (I wont tell you when but once you've seen it you will probably know)If you like anime or are considering looking into it or just a plain old action/sci fi fan you should defintely consider this movie, for me it is the best film I've seen this year unlike some rubbish thats been released at cinema. I just hope that the Ghost in the shell saga doesn't end because no matter how much of it I see I always crave for more.Anyway to conclude this review, Ghost in the shell Solid state society adds to the great saga of the anime that first inspired me to enjoy anime until I saw these I thought anime meant Dragonball Z and Pokemon. My hat goes off to the team who made this film.
5 You you like Anime, you need to add this to your collectionCrazyAl | 20/08/2007 | See all CrazyAl's reviews (12)If you are a fan of the Stand Alone Complex's two previous series this is an essential purchase. The story is fast moving & keeps you guessing.For all the fans out there, they bring the Tachikomas back.There are some amazing cars, watch the special features to see how amazing they are.If you are new to Ghost in the Shell, I would advice watching the 2nd GiG (2nd series) to get introduced to the characters.I may be in a minority but I much prefer the cartoon series to the two Ghost in the Shell movies & this feature length episode follows in the same spirit as the series (minus the Inner Universe opening theme).As with the previous two series the basis of the story line is rooted in a reality which is known to most Japanese but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the Anime as this is one fantastic film.
5 A true work of artbaconburger | 01/04/2008 | See all baconburger's reviews (35)Top 10 PC Reviewer First of all this animated movie looks incredible, even though it isn't in high-definition the production is so classy you won't believe your eyes. Add to that the great Yoko Kanno soundtrack, and some fantastic work on the sound effects and you realise just how far along animation has come. If you are a fan of the Stand Alone Complex series you will feel right at home with this, as it is pretty much a feature length episode, you just have to understand that it is a parallel universe to the 2 'proper' movies. The story is very intriguing with some great twists as we learn more about the mysterious 'Solid State Society'...
4 a triumphscottBWXE | 10/01/2008 | See all scottBWXE's reviews (49)i loved the first movie but was totally put off by the 2nd due to its long drawn out diaologue and lack of action. I'm pleased to say this 3rd installment did not disapoint. Plenty of action in all the right places, the dialogue and story can be a little dificult to follow at times however, but this is typical of the series and shouldn't put people off if they've seen the other films. Great animation, my favourite of the 3 films so far

WASHINGTON -- API Group Director of Upstream and Industry Operations Erik Milito welcomed passage of the EPA Hydraulic Fracturing Study Improvement Act by the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. The Committee's approval of H.R. 2850 will require the EPA to include a science-based and peer-reviewed assessment of any potential impact on drinking water in its ongoing study.
The EPA study, which was requested by Congress in 2010, is expected to be finalized in 2014. Despite concerns raised by Congress and members of the EPA's Science Advisory Board, the EPA has not indicated that it will offer a thorough risk assessment as part of its review. H.R. 2850 requires that the EPA include "objective estimates of the probability, uncertainly, and consequence of each identified impact." It also requires that this assessment take into account the risk management practices of state regulators and industry.
"Hydraulic fracturing is already subject to robust regulation by the states and rigorous engineering standards," said Milito. "A comprehensive study must give policymakers scientific context to understand what the data represents, and how it may inform decisions. Without this the proper information, an impact that poses no threat to human health could create needless uncertainly, resulting in lost jobs and higher production costs."

ArchiveBomb experts examine London finds Police explosives experts were examining suspicious material found Tuesday in a north <?xml:namespace prefix = "st1" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">London</st1:City> apartment connected to two men suspected of planting failed bombs, both identified as African 26 Jul 2005 20:34 GMT Mukhtar Said Ibrahim arrived from Somalia in 1992 at age 11 Yasin Hassan Omar arrived in Britain from Somalia in 1992 at age 11, the Home Office said. The 24-year-old, a Somali citizen with British residency, is suspected of attempting to blow up a subway train near Warren Street station. Mukhtar Said Ibrahim, 27, also known as Mukhtar Muhammad Said, came to Britain in 1990, his family said. He was granted residency in 1992 and British citizenship in September 2004, the Home Office said. Both are the children of refugees, the government said. Said attended his local north London high school in the Stanmore neighbourhood between 1991 and 1994, when his family said he moved away from home, returning only rarely to visit. "We were shocked when we saw Mukhtar's picture in the national news," the family said in a statement. "We immediately attended the police station and made statements to the police. We would suggest that anyone with information contacts the police.""Understanding Islam" Neighbour Sarah Scott remembered a discussion with Said in November about religion, and his reaction when she told him she was an atheist. A British police forensic expert stands near a police tent"He said I should (believe in God) and that he was going to get me some information," the 23-year-old said. He returned with a booklet called "Understanding Islam," in which he had highlighted key passages. "Anyone who says, 'There is no God except Allah' and dies holding to that will enter paradise," she recalled one passage as reading. She said he had never talked about terrorism but did express his general disgust with society. "He talked about evil spirits. He said there were a lot of evil sprits around because everyone was evil around here," she said. Police were trying to determine whether the failed 21 July bombings were connected to the deadly 7 July attacks that killed 52 people and the four bombers.Suspicious material On Tuesday, police explosives experts were examining what they called suspicious material found in a search of Omar's apartment. Said had recently visited the apartment, according to Peter Clarke, head of the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist squad."We are taking things away from the apartment, but we have not yet done analysis on what it is," a police spokeswoman said on customary condition of anonymity.They also impounded a white Volkswagen Golf near the apartment in connection with their investigation of the 21 July bombing attempts, the spokeswoman said. "We checked the car to see if there were any explosives on it and there were not, but we took it away for further forensic examination," she said. "We were shocked when we saw Mukhtar's picture in the national news"Mukhtar's family Police have been searching Omar's apartment in a concrete high-rise since raiding it late Monday. A spokeswoman for the London borough, the Enfield Council, told The Associated Press that Omar had been the registered tenant in the apartment since 1999, receiving 75 pounds a month in government housing benefits until May. Police also were questioning five people arrested in connection with the 21 July attacks. The bombs, which failed to fully detonate, were stored in clear plastic food containers and put into dark-coloured bags or backpacks. Clarke said those four bombs were similar to another found abandoned in a park Saturday, raising fears that a fifth bomber is on the loose. Source: Agencies

I may be willing to tackle larger after that. what feature are you looking for? The new DSLR LG system I am working on should be able to pan and handle the weight. just not sure what to do about the gimbal side for something that big. I'll have to think about it.

Ive built a business on the back of HoverFly and probably have over a thousand flights between the HFP and HF Sport. Im not sure whats gong on with your situation but i might be driving through texas soon and would have no problem stoping by and getting it dialed in. With the HFP there are things you need to do since it is an exposed board. I enclose my boards with a project box from Radio Shack. Also the HF board does not like it when you to plug in all the esc power wires(only one 5v is esc power is needed) But if you take care in the build then the flying will be better then any other system. Almost every fight control board on the market can provide smooth flight/video, but give it 10-15mph winds, flying downhill at 20-30mph and still fly smooth is what counts. From what i know HoverFly is the only one that can do that.

POSTED TODAY IN THE DJI FORUM - http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...86386&page=666 Hey Jago! I had exactly the same windy conditions when I had twice a "runaway" resulting in a crash during my photo work above the ex-FHQu "Wehrwolf" in Ukraine. Everything was working flawless and correctly until the Hexa went and drove off. The distance between Hexa and my tx (Graupner MX-16 ifs): about 200 meter. The first "runaway" resulted in a auto-landing due to battery level 2 safety (luckily we spotted the Hexa far away in the middle of a snowy field). The second "runaway": same conditions - distance about 150 meter = terrible crash after being stuck in a tree. Reviewing both incidents, I guess you're right! Maybe a software issue??? ----- Both DJI and HF and working issues out. I am just of the opinion that the HFP and Sport are very smooth |

Giving and receiving: Najib and Rosmah with Sabah Chief Musa Aman (left) and his wife Faridah (right) handing out goodies to orphans in Kota Kinabalu. — NORMIMIE DIUN / The Star
KOTA KINABALU: A formula is being worked out to address the call to increase oil royalties for Sabah, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
The Government, he said, together with Petronas, would decide on various methods to improve Sabah's economy.
"We have been concerned about the issue of oil royalties in Sabah and as an immediate solution, Petronas will increase its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes in Sabah," he said.
"We will be announcing several other approaches which can help Sabahans in the oil royalties issue," he added.
Najib explained that there were many approaches which could be applied to it, but not necessarily increasing the percentage of oil royalties as mooted by the Opposition.
He said Petronas would help more rural students, provide more scholarships and increase its funding in its CSR programmes here, among others.
"This is not about getting contracts. It's about giving and creating value," he said at the breaking of fast with Sabah Barisan Nasional members at a hotel here yesterday.
Najib also said that the Federal Government was taking several measures to step up security in the east coast of Sabah.
He said the navy would deploy the Bunga MAS 5 vessel at the Malaysian-Philippine border to curb the movement of cross-border criminals like kidnappers.
He said that two used Petronas oil platforms would also be placed in Semporna and Lahad Datu in six months' time as a last defence.
He said these oil platforms would be equipped with radar systems for 24-hour monitoring along the borders.
Najib also said that fixed routes to any Eastern Sabah Security Zone had to be followed so that movement in and out of these areas could be monitored.
"However, we need all the cooperation we can from the people of Sabah to safeguard the state's security and not to leak information or national secrets to our enemies because whatever technology we use cannot work if information is leaked," he said.
Also present was the Prime Minister's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor as well as Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman and his wife Datin Seri Faridah Tussin.
Earlier at the event, Najib was given a briefing on Sabah's developments. He then held a meeting with Barisan component party members here.
Najib and Rosmah also presented assistance from Pusat Zakat Sabah to orphans and the elderly.

The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane
With Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century—he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. But Conan wasn't the first archetypal
adventurer to spring from Howard's fertile imagination.
"He was . . . a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. . . . A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. . . . Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane."
Collected in this volume, lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, are all of the stories and poems that make up the thrilling saga of the dour and deadly Puritan, Solomon Kane. Together they constitute a sprawling epic of weird fantasy adventure that stretches from sixteenth-century England to remote African jungles where no white man has set foot. Here are shudder-inducing tales of vengeful ghosts and bloodthirsty demons, of dark sorceries wielded by evil men and women, all opposed by a grim avenger armed with a fanatic's faith and a warrior's savage heart.
This edition also features exclusive story fragments, a biography of Howard by scholar Rusty Burke, and "In Memoriam," H. P. Lovecraft's moving tribute to his friend and fellow literary genius.

Hello, this will be our first Disney cruise and hubby and I would love to do the Castaway Cay 5K! I've read a bunch of threads about it and it sounds like we could drop off our kids at Shuttles Cove on the way off the boat. Is that right? Has anyone done this? TIA!
A nice look at the whole 5K course...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLSVy-NsEyY&list=UUHzlZjd88j-CM-oMvJaOK3Q&feature=player_detailpage
As a treadmill runner (who has been using .5 incline) I would say it's not *very* flat, but it is basically flat. As you go into the loop (assuming you're going the way they tell you to go, and not opposite) it goes up a bit, then it goes down. I'm sure a street runner wouldn't notice at all, but I did. And side to side the course isn't 100% flat, either. Stay away from the edges of the road if you have tricky ankles!
Just wanted to share....I just did the Princess Half Marathon on Sunday-got talked into doing this. Understand that I do not run or jog. Haven't really walked the last few months. Basically I went in cold with no training! I did finish it in 3:38:30 a little under the pace of 3:30 they want u to finish in-needed a restroom break! I walked the whole thing and that bling in the end was worth it. I felt a big sense of accomplishment. Never even walked 13.1 miles before. The most 2 5K's on Castaway Aug 2013(way too hot and humid and I live in Florida) and Nov 2013. I came in dead last for both of those! So, now I'm feeling inspired and signing up for th Tower of Terror 10 miler this year. Will try do some training so I can enjoy everything. I know I live in Florida and don't have to worry about airfare, but I did spend a pretty penny on hotel, expo items, food, etc, but in the end worth it for the first time.
Hey-I am curious about the 1/2 marathon weekend. We are thinking about doing the family 5k next year that is in the early morning same day this cruise leaves, that way my daughter can participate. But how hard core are they about getting you off the course if they think your pace isn't fast enough? My mom has a bad knee, but can still walk at fairly good pace, and wants to do this with us. I am going in search of other RunDisney threads right after I send this. TIA!
I can't speak for the 5K, but I know someone that did it this last weekend and she has a bad knee-she did it in around 1hr 10mins, which is under pace. I know with the half I had the pacer lady on my tail the last 5 miles or so because of my restroom break and stop to put biofreeze on. I know she said once we were in Epcot's parking lot(mile 11.5 or so) we wouldn't be swept-had to be off the main roads, but there were alot of people behind me. don't know if that helps much.
Thank-you so much!! I can't believe you just up & walked a half marathon!!!! When I was reading the RunDisney site,I saw they purposely put in a statement saying that if you couldn't keep up a certain pace,they would come along and pick you up! That kinda scared me off. I also wasn't sure if anyone actually walked the half,as I can't run.But now that I know you can walk it,maybe, if I walk more consistently from now till then, I might be able to make it without dragging an oxygen tank behind me...... Your info has really been a help to me, can't thank-you enough!!!!!!!
You're welcome and that's why I put it out there. i guess I had more stamina than I thought. I do walk the parks with the kids, but that's not the same.I got very scared about the pace as well, I never timed a one mile walk. The weather helped tremendously as well. We were under a heat advisory, but the sun was behind the clouds most of the time. I saw the sweeper buses along the way. The pacing lady is very encouraging and I think that helped too. I want to enjoy it next year and stop for all the different photo ops, so I will try to jog a little.
You walk quick! I'm just under a 20 minute per mile pace right now. I've walked two of the runDisney 5K's and they don't really sweep those, but I have had walking friends swept form the 1/2 Marathons. My daughter and I just started training to walk next year's Princess 1/2, the race is Sunday and we're booked on DCL Monday! I can't wait! I've been trying to decided if I'll still have enough in me to walk the CC5K on Wednesday. More bling is a good thing, right?
I ran the 2011 Sisneywine and dine half marathon and it was amazing!! I am running the 2013 Tower of Terror 10 miler. Some fun races! The 5k runs are fun but if you are. Physically able train for a 10 miler or half and I promise you'll have so many wonderful memories!
Haven't caught up in the thread. Just did the Castaway Cay 5K last October and have the shirt to prove it I wish they did something similar on all their cruises but understand why its not done yet. I've also done the Disneyland 5K and Half Marathon and signed up to do it again in September.
I'm pretty sure the wine/dine festival is the 5k I've been looking at in November. Haven't been to WDW in over 10 years,so to go when there's even MORE going on,is pretty tempting. I still can't believe you walked some of the half. It seems so far. I come from a family of triathaletes/runners,so I get very biased encouragement,as this type of activity comes easier to them. It's the REAL people I need to talk to,so thank-you for a realistic overview of 5k's/half marathons. Here in the Keys,we have lots of runs,but the BIG one is the 7 Mile Bridge Run. It's pounded into ones' head at an early age, that you NEVER want to get picked up by the school bus. The Bridge re-opens at exactly 90 minutes after the run,so if you're even one second over,the dreaded bus gets you. It's preferable to throw yourself off the bridge than suffer the embarrassment of a bus pick-up. So I've never had the guts to even try it. So when I saw the statement on RunDisney concerning pacing,all sorts of flags and bells went off in my head. Just how embarrassing is it to be "swept away" in that environment? Is it a kinder,gentler atmosphere????? I'd think about fast walking(for me), the half,if the aftermath of not keeping pace isn't too brutal....... I should probably just concentrate on finishing the CC 5k for now
I started thinking about that too, nannylori, and considering how good Disney generally is about things, I bet they would make being swept fun. And I realized...even if a person IS swept, they are still further along than someone who didn't make the attempt!

Devotees stood in long serpentine queues for hours to have darshan of Lord Shiva at the 11th century old Lord Lingaraj temple on the occasion of of Maha Shivaratri on Monday.
From the wee hours , rituals started as per the traditional customs at Lingaraj temple. Braving the rising temperature during the day, devotees from different corners of the State and outside began to arrive at the temple from around 5 pm.
On this occasion of Maha Shivaratri, devotees keep daylong fasts and offer prayers at Shiva temples. Hymns in praise of Shiva are chanted. Many unmarried girls also fast and pray in the hope of getting a good husband
An estimated of more than 2 lakh devotees thronged the temple. At least 25 platoons of police were deployed to control the rush. Vehicular movement were controlled on various routes leading to the temple.
Besides, private security personnel were engaged by the Lingaraj Temple Administration to regulate entry of devotees to sanctum of santorum. Sri Lokanath Temple at Puri witnessed similar rush of devotees.
Maha Shivaratri was celebrated in a grand manner at Kapilas in Dhenkanal district and other Shiva temples in the State.

Gateways is thrilled to announce that we have received a new $2 million gift from the Adelson Family Foundation. This transformative commitment will enable Gateways to continue to build on our existing work, be creative as we implement our new 5-year strategic plan and make significant strides toward sustainability.
Please read the official press release from Combined Jewish Philanthropies below:
Gifts to support Jewish special education, health care and elder services
Boston - June 7, 2012 – Dr. Miriam Adelson and Sheldon G. Adelson today announced three gifts totaling $6 million from the Adelson Family Foundation to institutions representing Greater Boston's Jewish community. The grants will assist Hebrew SeniorLife, Gateways: Access to Jewish Education and Chelsea Jewish Foundation.
"Miri and I are honored to continue our support for these three great Boston institutions, which have created outstanding national models for caring for the elderly, treating the sick and expanding Jewish opportunities for children with special needs," Sheldon G. Adelson said.
"If a community is measured by how it cares for its most vulnerable members, Boston's Jewish community can look with pride at the services rendered by these three organizations," Dr. Miriam Adelson added. "We have admired their work and are happy to be able to support their continued efforts."
Hebrew SeniorLife (HSL) will receive $3 million to complete its $100 million campaign and will establish the Adam and Matan Adelson Multigenerational Program in honor of the Adelsons' two youngest children. The program will support HSL's robust volunteer programming across its extensive network of care. Previously, the Adelsons donated $20 million to NewBridge on the Charles, HSL's innovative 162-acre retirement community in Dedham, Mass., named the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Campus, which provides independent and assisted living as well as long-term and post-acute care.
Len Fishman, CEO of Hebrew SeniorLife, said, "We are incredibly grateful to the Adelsons for repeatedly investing in the vision of NewBridge on the Charles on the campus that bears their name. Their generosity made possible a community where seniors of all abilities and incomes enjoy a connected, purposeful life. By naming the Gloria Adelson Field Health Center they made possible a revolutionary new model of long-term care that respects the individuality, dignity and independence of the frailest and poorest members of our community. And now, by creating the Adam and Matan Adelson Multigenerational Program, they are supporting the original vision behind the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Campus—L'Dor VaDor—a community where old and young people play, learn and interact in ways that benefit multiple generations."
Gateways: Access to Jewish Education, which creates opportunities for Jewish children with special educational needs to engage meaningfully in Jewish learning, will receive $2 million. Part of the gift will be structured as a challenge grant to encourage others to support Gateways. Gateways partners with Jewish schools across all denominations throughout Greater Boston, providing both direct services and professional development that foster inclusivity. The organization also provides its own programs of formal and informal Jewish education, including a Sunday school and b'nei mitzvah preparation, specifically designed for students with special needs.
"We are thrilled with the Adelsons' continued investment in Gateways," said Arlene Remz, executive director of Gateways. "This transformative gift validates Gateways' critical role in the Greater Boston Jewish education system, enables us to grow strategically to meet the increased demand for programs and services and builds long-term sustainability."
Chelsea Jewish Foundation will receive $1 million to support its unique, specialized residences for patients with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) and multiple sclerosis (MS) at the Leonard Florence Center for Living. In addition to this latest grant, the Adelsons previously contributed $5 million for this project.
Barry Berman, CEO of Chelsea Jewish Foundation, said, "We are so grateful for the continued support that Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson have demonstrated in making the Leonard Florence Center for Living the first nursing home of its kind in the nation to provide specialized care to individuals with ALS and MS, as well as short- and long-term care to its residents." He continued, "The Adelsons' generosity has allowed us to provide programs and services to those in need while perpetuating the legacy of philanthropy of Leonard Florence for whom the building is named."
"The Boston Jewish community has been blessed again by the Adelsons' extraordinary generosity," said Barry Shrage, president of Combined Jewish Philanthropies. "In addition to these three gifts, their contributions to the Rashi School, Beth Israel Hospital, Temple Emanuel, Gann Academy and so many other local charities have had a transformational impact on our community. Their continuing commitment to caring for the vulnerable and supporting Jewish education is in keeping with the best Jewish values."
Dr. Adelson is an Israeli-born physician who works in the area of treating the disease of substance addiction in the United States and Israel. Mr. Adelson is Chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp. The Adelsons reside in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Gateways and Frank Murphy
June 4, 2012
On May 5th, the Gateways community came together to celebrate the Bat Mitzvah of a very special student: Rachel Murphy. Rachel is a cheerful girl whose enormous love of music causes her to light up at the first note of a familiar tune. Rachel has brain damage from a stroke after heart surgery when she was a 2-year-old. She can't speak, she can't walk and she has uncontrolled seizures. Yet, since first enrolling Rachel in 2005, her parents have driven 2 hours round trip to bring her to Gateways' Sunday Program each week so that she could receive a Jewish education. And in spite of her limitations, and with the support of a Gateways special educator, Rachel has learned. On the day of Rachel's Bat Mitzvah, her dad, Frank, addressed the large gathering of family and friends at their home synagogue, Temple Beth Torah in Holliston, and these were his words:
Elisa and I wanted to take a moment to say a very big and very heartfelt thank you to all of you for joining us on this very special day. In the next few minutes we'll try to express in words how moving and how powerful it is just to be here on this very unique day.
As many of you know, especially if you were with us during those early days in the cardiac ICU in Children's 13 years ago, we never really knew for sure if we would be standing here today. In the time that's passed, she's grown up quickly. The pictures on the walls of her room have changed from butterflies to…Justin Bieber. Oy vey!! In those 13 years as we've faced struggles and obstacles head on, Elisa and I have often been asked: How do you do it?
The answer is simple: it can be found in this room. Look to your left, look to your right. This community of family, friends, care givers, volunteers, school and religious educators have all played some role in helping us not just to survive some medical crisis, but to overcome life's obstacles, and to grow and thrive in a way that ultimately brings us here today. You've all done some sort of good deed in our lives and we thank you for that. There's a word for that- doing good deeds- it's called mitzvah and it's a perfect theme for today.
That's because today isn't about putting Rachel on display just to have her push buttons on a screen. Today is about resilience, about accepting life's limitations and making the best of them anyway, about broadening the view and the value of a Bat Mitzvah.
Think about these words: help, learn, grow. Those are great ways to describe today and the importance of helping and of doing good—doing mitzvot.
But please remember that helping and teaching isn't just a one-directional activity with Rachel. While each of us has been part of her education, she has, in turn, taught many life lessons. Life skills, they call them at school. Here are three examples:
1. Be present in the moment. Stop and think, how difficult was it to shut off your phone today? Doing that helps us be present, to be in this special moment before God. Have you ever known Rachel to worry about tomorrow, or next week, or be sad about some event in the past? No. She completely lives in the moment. No filter, no hidden agenda.
When you say hello, she gives you a hug, a real one. They're great. That ability to always be present and to live in the moment is very powerful. It's a great lesson.
2. Next, be flexible and adapt. There have been many adaptations behind the scenes to put this event together today. Her Hebrew School team from Gateways in Newton. Arlene, Nancy, Rebecca, Yarden, this team has worked with us for years to adapt Jewish education and make it accessible to children with all types of disabilities. As the non-Jewish parent in the house, I've been able to join Rachel on her educational journey so that I also understand the holidays, the torah and the culture. They've helped us adapt as a family so we can pray and celebrate together.
Another adaptation they've helped with today is on her Dyanvox device. They've helped build programs on it that make the Torah accessible for Rachel. When she sees an image from her prayer book on screen, of a kid covering their eyes, she knows that's the symbol for the Shema, one of the holiest of prayers. So today is not just pushing buttons, she's independently calling us to prayer, and leading the congregation.
3. The last lesson is to be inclusive: The ultimate symbol of inclusion today is the tallis itself. It has hundreds of fringes, or tzitzit, around the edge. Each one serves as a reminder of God's many commandments. In our society, when faced with tragedy and disability, kids like my kid can become much like the tzitzit on a tallis, fringes around the edges of our society. By being here today, singing with us, praying with us, each of you has played some inclusive role in our life. So that, in the same way as the tallis itself has fringes and fabric woven together, by celebrating with us today, though we come from different backgrounds and have different abilities, we're all woven together in celebration.
So on Rachel's behalf, thank you for coming here today, for doing good deeds and mitzvot, for being part of this inclusive moment, and for helping us most to grow. Hopefully along the way we've helped you in return.
Prayers with visual supports were created to help make prayers simple, accessible, and understandable for students with a variety of disabilities. In these files, each Hebrew phrase is illustrated by a simple picture symbol (we use Mayer-Johnson Boardmaker symbols). Students with disabilities can follow along with each prayer and learn to understand its meaning using symbol prayers.
These files were imported onto Rachel's Dynavox device, and synced with audio files of someone singing the corresponding blessing or prayer. Over the years, Rachel learned to recognize the images that represent the various blessings and prayers, and was able to lead others in prayer by pressing the images, activating the voice output. »»»
This Bat Mitzvah vocabulary sheet features short and clear explanations of some Bat Mitzvah basics: mitzvah, kippah/yamulka, tallit, bimah, ark, and many more. Rachel comes from an interfaith family, and this sheet was distributed with the program book on the day of her Bat Mitzvah to help everyone in the audience feel comfortable and participate. »»»
Producing a clear and simple service guide like this one, and including it in the program at a child's bar or bat mitzvah, can make the service inclusive of everyone in attendance. Whether intended for the other children in the congregation or for non-Jewish members of an interfaith family, this guide can help everyone follow along and participate in the service. This guide includes a visual representation of the order of the service, and explanation of each part of the service, and an explanation of the Torah's clothes and ornaments. »»»

By Deborah Fineblum Raub, for Gateways
June 1, 2012
Helena Schreibman is comfortable at Congregation Mishkan Tefila. After all, each week she takes her Gateways: Access to Jewish Education B'nei Mitzvah classes here, coming in all the way from her home in Winthrop. Each week she's worked with her tutor learning to read Hebrew and prayers and each week she's practiced with her fellow students the fine points of a service such as the blessings and Torah procession.
But the 9th grader never thought she'd be having her bat mitzvah here. Her mother's unexpected passing in April 2009 and a series of conflicts had pushed Helena's bat mitzvah off again and again at the family's home congregation, Temple Tifereth Israel in Winthrop. But this time when her dad, Nat, made a date, May 9, 2012, it stuck.
And the event was the product of incredible teamwork. "It really does take a village to raise a child and this day is proof," remarked Arlene Remz from the bimah. Remz heads up Gateways, which provides students with special needs like Helena a Jewish education tailored specifically for them. "The Gateways community has been with you in tough times and has now come to celebrate your bat mitzvah with you," Remz said.
And celebrate they did. The chapel was filled with Gateways students and their parents, beaming at Helena. As she led into the opening words of Ma Tovu, Helena looked up with a huge grin when everyone chimed in, the Gateways kids singing the loudest of all.
"Helena, today is a day you and your family and friends have looked forward to for many years," said Mishkan Tefila Rabbi Leonard Gordon. "I know how much this moment means to you and all you did to make it happen. Helena, your mother Michelle would have wanted us to invoke her blessing on this occasion. This ritual marks the fulfillment of one of her hopes ... As the rabbi at Congregation Mishkan Tefila and a friend of Gateways, I am especially delighted to join with your tonight and share our joy in hosting this service. May this be the first of many such moments we share."
Nancy Mager, who directs Gateways' Jewish Education Programs and has worked with Helena over the past several years, was the next to speak. "You have such a positive attitude, you make friends wherever you go," she said, adding that Helena is determined to continue her Jewish Education next year in both the Sunday program and Gateways' Mitzvah Mensches youth group, where she's already an active participant.
But on this day, like generations of b'nei mitzvot before her, Helena ducked the candies being thrown her way and the Gateways kids, like generations before them, wasted little time collecting them.
As the congregation moved to the social hall for the celebration, the "village" Remz had referred to was in full flower. The buffet dinner had been organized by the Mishkan Telfila Sisterhood, the cake was a gift from Helena's tutor, Michelle Gary, and Schreibman cousin and photographer David Fox manned the camera, while the colorful centerpieces had been crafted at the Mishkan Tefila's Religious School's recent Mitzvah Day.
"Everyone did something to make it special for the family and it all came together," said Laurie Gershkowitz who, along with Sharon Diamond and Diane Jaye, organized the dinner and party.
But none of the behind-the-scenes grown-up planning seemed to matter at the moment. As her Gateways friends lifted Helena high on her chair, she threw back her head and laughed, without an ounce of fear.
"When I saw her reading and singing up there, I was incredibly proud of her," said Helena's teacher at Winthrop High School, Chris Donnelly, who'd made the trek out to witness his student experience her special day. "I was really, really impressed."
In fact, besides Helena's father and grandmother, no one beamed brighter than her teachers and her tutor.
"When other kids get up and say the blessings at their bar or bat mitzvah, it's pretty easy for them," said tutor Michelle Gary. "But Helena must have practiced the brachas before and after the Torah reading thousands of times over the last couple years. Never once did she get frustrated or give up. And you know what? She did them perfectly. It's just that most people who heard her could not have known how much went into it. If they did, they would have seen it for what it really was. It really was a triumph."

You hear a lot about the pressures on high school students nowadays. The push to get good grades and go to the right colleges. The issues around bullying, cliques and other social pressures. The sometimes disastrous distraction of social media.
When I walk the halls of our Sunday program and see our high school volunteers, those images fade away. I see cheerful, engaged teens who are thoughtful and focused on something besides themselves. I see teenagers who wake up early on Sunday mornings so that they can work closely with a student with behavioral, physical, and/or learning challenges, and they come week after week filled with energy and enthusiasm.
Rebecca, a first-year volunteer and 10th grader at Brookline High School, explains her commitment this way: "I had a major school project one weekend, but I still came on Sunday. If I'm not here, the kids really miss me. Not just the student I work with, we are all in the group together."
The Teen Volunteer Program has been around about as long as the Sunday Program. My daughter was a volunteer in the early days, even before I worked for Gateways. All three of my children have been Teen Volunteers, and I agree with Andy Lesser-Gonzalez, our volunteer coordinator, when she described what the program gives to its volunteers: "they learn about themselves, they develop leadership abilities and true friendships." Andy has seen shy volunteers come out of their shells and insecure teens grow in maturity.
There are many entryways to the program. Teens hear about it through school or through friends and family. Some have siblings who attend the Sunday classes and they choose to work with another child as a volunteer. Some teens volunteer through Prozdor, the community Jewish high school program, which grants class credit to volunteers, all of whom get weekly training as part of the program.
At the heart of the program are the relationships formed between the students and the volunteers. Volunteers can work as classroom assistants who help out where needed. Those who bring special talents and skills can focus on assisting in music, videography, and other activities. And volunteers can be paired with a student to serve as a one-to-one aide for the duration of the school year (or sometimes multiple years), a support that every student in the school receives. The application process for the volunteer program enables us to get a sense of the applicant, and we work to make a good match.
"The kids are amazing," says Rebecca. ""It can be challenging, but it's so rewarding." Brynn, a senior from Scituate, grew up far from Jewish education opportunities. "Just like my student, it was hard for me to go to Hebrew School. It's a bond we share," she says. Brynn is graduating and next year will be in nursing school in Pittsburgh. Will it be good to sleep in Sundays next year? "I love it here," she says, "I don't want to leave."
