Looking for a weapon out of legend? The headquarters of an Ancient Tradition? An interdimensional portal? Relics of a lost civilization? The Ancient Astronauts' spaceship? A site of untold mystic power? If they're not in the writer's capital city or hometown, they'll be here, at a Landmark of Lore.
These are the places where people are eager to believe almost anything could be found, so many tales swirl around them. Mostly they are either places rich in history, which have been the centre of stories for centuries, or places remote enough that the audience knows little about them.
Sometimes these locations will be turned into a Weaponized Landmark. Compare Ruins for Ruins' Sake, Temple of Doom, Circle of Standing Stones, which may overlap. Probably the result of Small Reference Pools and as such is the Sister Trope to Public Domain Artifact. A Landmark of Lore is often the subject of Alternate Landmark History.
Area 51 - What is the U.S. government hiding in the Nevada desert?—shroud recently (in 2013) lifted slightly- was confirmed as the test base for both the U-2 spy plane and OXCART surveillance aircraft in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Bermuda Triangle - Mysterious area where ships and planes disappear.
Easter Island - Remote, with enigmatic statues.
El Dorado - Fabled land of gold.
Other "cities of gold", such as Akator, Cibola and the City of the Caesars have also been used.
The Forbidden City of Beijing - Not actually mystical, but come on! It's forbidden, how can you not want to go see it?
The Great Pyramid of Giza - Famous Egyptian landmark with a number of astronomically significant features. Last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to still survive.
There are two pyramids at the Giza Necropolis that occur often, the Pyramid of Khufu (formerly largest, by 2 feet) and the Pyramid of Khephren (currently the largest and best preserved one). Regardless of which one it's in, the film will never show the sprawl of Giza—the world's second-largest suburb after Yokohama.
Machu Picchu - An Incan city in the mountains of Peru, abandoned centuries ago.
Nazca, Peru - Landing strip for the Ancient Astronauts.
Shangri-La - Home of mysterious monks.
Stonehenge - Ascribed all sorts of mystic powers, usually completely ignoring all the other stone circles around Europe.
Uluru (a.k.a. Ayer's Rock) in central Australia.
In one episode of Sgt. Frog, Keroro and Fuyuki learn that the Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu and Easter Island were all built by aliens... but as tourist traps. The Pyramid was a haunted house, Stonehenge was a giant solar-powered camp stove, Machu Picchu was the site of a roller coaster, and Easter Island is a giant whack-a-mole game.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, the Nazca Lines are where powerful monsters known as "Earthbound Immortals" sleep - and then they're awoken.
A certain important giant man was found in the Arctic ice in Transformers. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, an ancient alien doomsday device was located in the pyramids at Giza.
In National Treasure, the treasure hunters found a clue in the Arctic ice. After that, the cast were led up and down the east coast of the United States, stopping at Washington, Philadelphia and finally New York, where the great big treasure was finally found.
Troll 2 features "The Stonehenge Stone", which apparently has the power to create goblins and to kill people. How exactly a massive rock was transported from Stonehenge to a small church in Midwest America without anyone noticing it missing is never explained.
At the beginning of The Mummy (1999), you had Thebes with pyramids, which seemed kinda mystical. Apparently, Giza and Thebes were united to create a nice Landmark of Lore.
In the first two movies, Hamunaptra is an in-universe example. Good news: the stories about it being the resting place for the wealth of Egypt are true! Bad news: so is that story about the cursed mummy!
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor features Shangri-La with Yetis. Then the Great Wall becomes a bonus Landmark of Lore.
In Stargate SG-1, the Stargate itself was located inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Until it was taken out into the desert and buried, that is.
Alien technology acquired off-world is analyzed at Area 51.
The Stargate team is based out of Cheyenne Mountain, which is a close relative of Area 51.
Also, the pyramids were actually landing platforms for alien spacecraft.
In Doctor Who, buried under Stonehenge is the Pandorica, the ultimate prison. The justification is that it is really old and really important so the ones who made it put some markers there so they could remember where they put it. Oh, and the whole thing is a trap for the Doctor designed to appeal to his curiosity.
They are less than impressed by this great British achievement.
Bill: Stonehenge, what a great waste of money that was. TWO THOUSAND YEARS IT'S BEEN THERE! Still doesn't fly.
After expressing skepticism that there's anything unusual about Stonehenge, Graeme fails to notice there's a UFO behind him that's using it as a fuel station.
GURPS Places of Mystery, by Alison Brooks and Phil Masters, is a collection of such locations, discussed for gaming use.
The trope appears in Scion: great landmarks like Stonehenge or the Statue of Liberty are called Touchstones, and allow someone to go from the landmark to a place in the Overworld, and then from there to any other point that resonates with that same place. For instance, one could go from Stonehenge in England to the Great Henge, and then go from the Great Henge to Carhenge . Why Carhenge? Because it's the funniest replica of Stonehenge,note Okay, maybe not funnier than Foamhenge. and it's mentioned explicitly in the book's description of Touchstones.
Earthbound had the alien servants of the Big Bad build an Elaborate Underground Base beneath Stonehenge for apparently no reason.
The old Lucasarts game Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, heavily steeped in Ancient Astronauts material, feature all sorts of landmarks that are more than they seem.
Illusion of Gaia had several mythical locations as special landmarks in the game - the Nazca lines, the Great Wall, Angkor Wat and even the Tower of Babel.
Shining Force II had an ancient spaceship that had the same outline as the Nazca painting.
The Omega Stone is essentially a World Tour of these things.
Golden Sun features its own take on historic landmarks, including the wind-themed dungeon of Air's Rock in the continent of Osenia, ancient ruins in a South American analogue hiding The Power of the Sun, the ruined and overgrown city of Ankhol Wat, the Apojee Islands and their water-spewing moai (although differently-elemental-themed moai appear in other locations), the Endless Wall (not as an ancient structure, it gets built sometime in the thirty years separating the second and third games)... While stone circles appear and almost always have something useful in the middle that's Invisible to Normals, they're nowhere near the size of Stonehenge.
In an episode of Centurions, Stonehenge is the secret burial site of a perfectly preserved Merlin. (Yes, Merlin). He then wakes up shortly after his discovery to help the Centurions dispatch the villain of the week.
In Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures, underneath Stonehenge is an alien craft, where an alien tried to evolve prime apes to cavemen.
In Futurama, the villain of the week, used the pyramids of Giza as a Monopole to send the Earth's rotational energy directly back to his homeworld.
In one episode of Jackie Chan Adventures, an evil cult called Magisters attempt to use Stonehenge as a magical weapon of mass destruction. After performing their rituals, they find the structure does absolutely nothing magical. They leave too early to learn that they were Wrong Genre Savvy; Stonehenge is actually connected to aliens.

What is the pride of the Great Emperor martial artist, what the cultivator’s dignity, at this moment, was completely destroyed.
Arrogant, Long Baxiang, who can’t be alive, has no chance to struggle in front of this big bone. This terrible scene can be said to completely destroy the luck of Rippling Clouds Great Emperor and the others.
Rippling Clouds Great Emperor, the strongest of Heavenly River Palace and Heavenly Chime Temple, the strongest of Unextinguishable Heaven Capital, their innermost feelings are definitely overwhelming.
The scene of Long Baxiang tragic death has completely driven away the last little resistance of their innermost feelings. Instead, there is only fear, only surrender.
The scene is dead, everyone’s innermost feelings are all up and down, uneasy. They knew that the move that had just escaped must have deeply angered Sky Demon Demon Lord.
Now, all the escape routes have been blocked, and the rest is waiting for Sky Demon Demon Lord’s ruling.
At this moment, Sky Demon Demon Lord is indeed in a state of anger.
He apparently did not expect that was escaped by Lesser Yang Great Emperor. For his Sky Demon Demon Lord, this is simply an unprecedent shame.
Although he is still in the formation seal, a demonic art can’t play at all. However, with the powerful magic of he thinks that he has completely controlled the situation.
But he never imagined that the seal of more than ten thousand years, so that he still has some long-term battles, the judgment of the situation is still a trace of mistakes.
This is almost an impossible matter for him before ten thousand years.
However, after being sealed for more than 100,000 years, the demon knowledge that had just recovered, after all, was too far from the peak condition, which made him appear in this judgment.
Although there is only one fish that slips through the net, Sky Demon Demon Lord is ashamed.
The Sky Demon Demon Lord under the violent anger, can’t wait to kill, kill all these people, absorb their spirits and absorb the energy of Martial Dao.
However, Sky Demon Demon Lord still controlled the mood.
These martial artists, if they all absorb their Martial Dao energy, for him, there is definitely a great profit.
However, Sky Demon Demon Lord obviously needs more than absorb energy, but available manpower.
Only by obtaining the powerful manpower, his important matter can be better displayed, and his ambition can be realized step by step.
Otherwise, even if he is now free from the seal, he is also a light pole commander.
What’s more, he has a hunch and breaks away from the seal, it is a matter of time. Even if you absorb the essence of these martial artists, you may not be able to break free immediately.
However, if you can control this batch of martial artists, let them help attack and crack this seal, but it is more likely to accelerate his pace of breaking the seal.
Thinking of this, Sky Demon Demon Lord no longer hesitates.
The magic is fully open, suddenly, in a giant net, a black flowing light continues to wind out.
A black flowing light, constantly into the Divine Consciousness of those martial artists. This is the magic mark of Sky Demon Demon Lord. Once the invasion is marked by the magic, it is equivalent to the mark of the Sky Demon Demon Lord. From then on, it will completely break into Demonic Path and become the shackle of Sky Demon Clan.
Sky Demon Demon Lord issued a warning.
In fact, Sky Demon Demon Lord is also somewhat worried. If all the strong people launch a rebellion, the faint magic of his Sky Demon Demon Lord is not enough to control everyone.
Once the demon fading, unable to control the Sky Demon Domain, it is likely to get out of control, but will let these guys find more opportunities to escape.
This is also why Sky Demon Demon Lord will bang bang that Long Baxiang.
Punish one as a warning to others!
Have to say that the Sky Demon Demon Lord’s chess walks is very good. Although his limit demon knows the extreme fierce, but all the martial artists including Rippling Clouds Great Emperor, no one has the idea of rebellion.
Long Baxiang’s die completely destroyed the will of these people.
A magic mark, in the case of their initiative to give up resistance, slowly under the brand mark of their Divine Consciousness to hit seal.
This magical branding means that their Sea of Consciousness falls completely under the control of Sky Demon Demon Lord.
Sky Demon Demon Lord is also relieved.
He was also taking a moment ago and risks. If these great Emperor Realms rebelled together, they could definitely find that his demon knew was actually in a very flail condition. Even these guys unite and may form a Reverse Impact on him.
Fortunately, these guys, even a little rebellious, did not have the idea, and was shocked by the Danger Zone.
Branded, this group of Human Race martial artist, has completely become the fish on his chopping board, he was slaughtered.
Divine Consciousness was planted with the Sky Demon brand mark. They were all very clear. Since then, their own destiny has been unable to dominate, and they have been completely stunned by the fearful method of Sky Demon Demon Lord, so they are also completely deadhearted and cast their hearts. Sky Demon Demon Lord.
Lesser Yang Great Emperor, who had escaped his life, rushed out of the Sky Demon Domain and retreated to the most corner.
“Ben Ling has said that the day when the Sky Demon Demon Lord broke free from the seal is the time of your Human Race end arrivals. Unfortunately, compared to the ancient era, your Human Race has no basic skeleton. It’s funny. Ridiculous.” Vermillion Bird Divine Bird has some contempt.
“Sky Demon Clan, scheming, who knows what he thinks?” Vermillion Bird Divine Bird is not particularly good at brainstorming.
Vermillion Bird Divine Bird snorted and did not object.
Lesser Yang Great Emperor is still a bit unpredictable, but seeing Jiang Chen to call him, he is not convenient to behave too much. Although still afraid of Vermillion Bird Divine Bird, but still came over.
Lesser Yang Great Emperor, although the rest of his life, but in this case, he is really a little happy.
That Sky Demon Demon Lord is really fearful. This terrible degree has almost subverted the Martial Dao cognition of Lesser Yang Great Emperor.
He could hardly imagine that this Sky Demon Demon Lord would fight for the seal, strength restores to peak condition, Human Race world, who can resist it?
Whether it is Pill Fire City or Colored Glass Imperial City, how can all resist an ancient Sky Demon even if all the strong people are gathered together?
Now that the Sky Demon Demon Lord is in the seal, it has been so terrible. How amazing will his peak condition be?
Although Vermillion Bird Divine Bird does not speak the Human Race language, it still understands the Human Race language. heard that Jiang Chen praised it so much, and it was quite useful in my heart.
When this statement came out, Jiang Chen suddenly had a bright eye.
That is the Lesser Yang Great Emperor, which is also the trend before the sweep, wide eyes, looking at the Vermillion Bird Divine Bird, eyes full of expectations.

With the MEMS industry expected to see double digit growth up to 20161, the development and commercialisation of new MEMS applications is becoming a reality.
Traditional devices such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and microphones continue to see increased adoption in many consumer electronics, displays and automotive applications.
The reality is that MEMS can provide a solution where there is a requirement for a device or sensor to be miniaturised2.
Devices emerging in the R&D phase include energy harvesting; speakers; RFID; pico projectors; oscillators; micro fuel cells; and autofocus technologies amongst others3.
LayerProbe is a thin film analysis tool tool that measures the thickness and composition of multiple layers in thin film structures in the SEM. It is an extension to AZtec EDS analysis.

For a career that once seemed so good on paper, the crisis in teacher recruitment is now hardly ever out of the news.
There are not enough people signing up to become teachers and too many are dropping out - some experienced due to the stress and increase in workload but often the newly qualified leave the profession, unprepared for the life in the classroom.
School lead Andrew Truby, a national leader of education, is determined to change the narrative about teaching as a profession.
He feels school leaders have it in their gift to change this situation on the ground by making brave decisions and by investing in the professional culture so that schools become irresistible places to work.
At St Thomas of Canterbury School, in Meadowhead, where Mr Truby is executive headteacher, there is a 100 per cent school-based teacher training school which is going from strength-to-strength.
The outstanding Ofsted-rated school became a teaching school in 2015, and works with partner schools in the Learning Unlimited Teaching School Alliance.
The alliance, based in a modern training facility at the school, takes on School Direct trainees on a year-long programme.
Each student is placed in one of 14 partner schools across Sheffield, Doncaster and Chesterfield for the entire programme, where they will work for a year alongside outstanding and primary class teachers.
Teaching school manager, Anita Bray, said: "The beauty of this course is that trainee teachers are based in a school for the whole programme.
"They encounter children and liaise with parents. They do things like parents evening - all the nitty gritty.
"The trainee teachers have been there and have done it, they have had that experience which is much different from doing it in classrooms."
During the course, students spend time in another of the partner schools so they get to experience life in two schools.
They are given a mentor who, at first, they observe, then plan lessons alongside before the mentor oversees the trainee teacher planning and delivering the lessons.
The trainee teachers meet once a week at the School Direct hub session for training, with specialist leaders of education or subject specialists coming in to take sessions.
Teaching school director, Sarah Rockliff, described the process as 'learning by doing'.
She said: "Trainee teachers are in classrooms and they are coming to hub sessions and picking up ideas about teaching and learning and then the next day they get the chance to put that into practice.
"Teaching is a craft and the only way to become a master of your craft is to keep practising it."
She added: "After only a few weeks the trainees start to refer to their partner school as 'my school' and they feel a real connection to the school they are working in and are invested in the children. That adds to the motivation.
"It's a hard course and requires a lot of hard work."
The alliance was established in 2015 and the first cohort of students all gained jobs after completing the course.
Trainees come from a variety of backgrounds, some have been teaching assistants or involved in education, while others are looking for a career change.
Trainee teacher Nick Walker, aged 31, taught English abroad before returning to England to further his career.
He said: "I have been teaching for five years already and I thought it would be beneficial to me to be in a hands-on situation and seeing what it was like day-today.
"I was at university 10 years ago. I wanted to carry on learning and this feels like a job whereas if I'd gone back to university it would have felt like a step backwards."
Former secondary school teaching assistant Kirsty Norris, 25, said: "You see the reality of life in a school. You experience parents' evening and when sometimes your lessons plans just don't work.
"It's hard work but you know that next year it will all be worth it."
Mr Truby, who is strategic lead for the alliance, said recruiting teachers ready for the classroom had been a challenge in the past.
"Recruitment of high quality teachers is an ongoing challenge for schools and in the past the newly qualified teachers who we did appoint were not ready for the classroom," he said.
"Through our 100 per cent school-based teacher training route, our School Direct trainee teachers experience the full school year in a primary school.
"When they start in their NQT year, they are confident in subject knowledge, planning, marking, assessment as well as knowing how the school works throughout the year."
He felt the perception around teaching needed to change because it is 'the best job in the world'.
He added: "Although teaching as a career gets a really bad press and there is a lot of talk about workload, we believe that the schools who invest in their culture will have an easier job recruiting and retaining the best teachers.
"We spend time making our schools a positive place to work because happier teachers mean happier children.
"It is time to change the narrative about this profession because we believe that teaching is the best job in the world."
The alliance is still recruiting trainees for September when it will start two new programmes. In addition to general primary, there will be a primary with maths and an early years route.

Work on the long-delayed project to overhaul the Cumberland Avenue Strip near the University of Tennessee is expected to finally start in early June now that the city has a contractor that it can afford to pay.
After failing to find a developer during the previous two bidding attempts, Knoxville officials on Tuesday received proposals from two construction teams just minutes before the 11 a.m. deadline.
The city now plans to move ahead with the company that came in at the lowest cost.
"First and foremost we are very excited to see this project come forward. It has been a long time coming," said Anne Wallace, a project manager in the city's Office of Redevelopment. "Merchants and folks who own business in the area have literally been envisioning changes to Cumberland for more than thirty years."
As it stands, Southern Constructors is the "apparent" winner, city officials said, submitting a proposed bid of roughly $16.87 million – about $400,000 lower than the proposal made by Blaylock & Sons.
The city's engineering department will still have to review the documents to ensure that everything is in order. Officials will then iron out a contract, which they expect to bring before the City County and the Tennessee Department of Transportation by the end of the month for approval.
If everything works out, construction crews should be turning dirt on the project's first phase by early June and wrapping it up by the end of the year.
The second and final phase will start soon after should finish up by August 2017.

A new approach to Rights Managed imagery offers a simpler and streamline approach to licensing imagery.
We all hate paper work and complexity, and Rights Managed imagery has a reputation for being complex and unwieldy. But that is changing.
Blend Images is pioneering, or perhaps re-pioneering, a new way to approach Rights Managed imagery (Getty tried “Rights Ready” years ago but it was still too unwieldy and ultimately was abandoned). RM, as it is known, was the original model for stock photography, but has fallen far behind in volume to RF (Royalty Free) and microstock (which is simply lower-priced RF).
Part of the popularity of RF imagery over RM is that RM has the reputation, if not always the reality, of higher price points. Of course, after getting a lot of my sales reports it sometimes seems to me that RM can underbid any RF image (RF images are sold by image size)! I have actually had RM sales in which my share came to 4 cents…more than once! But perhaps an even bigger problem in today’s world for RM images lies in the complexity of the fee structure.
Have you ever gone to Getty’s site (or for that matter any RM site) and priced RM? Yikes! It is complicated, frustrating and time-intensive. I find it intensely irritating to be trying to come up with all the various parameters only to, at some point in the process, to be stumped as to what category, industry or specific application that is offered in the pull down menus fits my unique needs. You also need to know such things as the duration of the use, size of the use, print run numbers and circulation figures. It is enough to turn one to RF!
Blend Images has come up with a new approach that makes licensing RM imagery much simpler. They are offering a series of bundles of rights that greatly simplifies the licensing process. If you need exclusive use then one can talk to a sales person. There will always be a need for Rights Managed imagery…in my own case I have exclusive agreements with greeting card companies so I cannot offer my humorous animal images as RF. And many clients just don’t want to risk having their competition using the same images. Now those clients have an option that can fill their need for RM photos that approaches RF in terms of simplicity of licensing.
On the Blend site you can choose either “editorial” or “commercial”. If you choose editorial you then can choose “Cover” or Digital Non-cover. Next you choose and “industry” and finally “duration”. It is even simpler than it sounds. If you choose “commercial”, you get a choice of three different bundles and a forth that includes “all commercial uses”. You gain choose an “industry” and a “duration” that ranges from one to five years. This is going to change how creatives view Rights Managed imagery!
And for those of you who are interested in checking the new pricing out, whether you need RF or RM, if you use the discount code JL-PROMO2016 you can get a 25% discount on any stock image you license on the Blend site. As a matter of fact, tell your friends and co workers as well (disclaimer…I too get a bonus when that discount code is used). Hey, what are you waiting for!

On November 12, 2009 at the Altman Building in NYC, guests were introduced to a secret society filled with High Fashion, Tapas and Sherry. Jay Sean's official DJ Bikram Keith was spinning the sounds for the event. As the night progressed guests learned about the foundation of "Fashion Fights Poverty" which is a non-profit organization that was founded in Washington, DC. Their mission is to is to raise awareness for initiatives that encourage and support creative, effective, and sustainable means of challenging poverty. They believe that the industries of fashion, textiles, and design offer unique and effective opportunities for designers, craftsmen and consumers alike to contribute to the alleviation of poverty through trade, skill-building and community empowerment.
The Fashions modeled seven looks that were inspired by the seven styles of Sherry from the Secret Sherry Society. The designer, Stella Bonds presented a fashion show that featured bold creative and unique designs. Stella Bonds designs unifiy old world style and elegance with a modern twist. During the fashion show the models carried around a gold box holding a secret and alternated between showing the audience the box and passing it to the next model. At the end of the show, each model held an illustration of their unique look that was auctioned off to support Fashion Fights Poverty.

MARSHALL — Judge Leland Bush wasn’t certain what really made him decide to apply to be a judge. But as a lawyer practicing in southwest Minnesota, he did think his experiences could bring a good perspective to the job.
This week, Bush will be retiring after 12 years on the judicial bench. He says it’s been both a challenging and a rewarding experience.
“For the most part, it’s certainly been a positive experience. It’s been a learning experience,” Bush said.
Bush has been a lifelong resident of southwest Minnesota.
“I grew up with a Russell address,” he said, and graduated from Russell High School. He attended Macalester College in St. Paul, but he came back to southwest Minnesota, graduating from what is now Southwest Minnesota State University in 1973.
Bush went on to graduate from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1976. After graduation, he became an attorney in the law office of David Watson in Tyler. In 1979, he started his own business as an attorney.
It wasn’t until he had been a lawyer for 25 years that Bush applied to be a judge.
“I recall I had some folks suggest I consider that,” he said. He talked it over with the staff at his law office before deciding to apply.
The process to apply to be a judge involves interviews with a screening committee and with the Minnesota governor, Bush said. It was a long process for him, but in 2002 Bush was appointed to be a judge by Gov. Jesse Ventura.
“It’s a pretty humbling experience,” he said of being sworn in.
In his years as a judge, Bush said he’s seen and learned a lot.
In court, Bush said, you often see people in difficult situations. “You have to be patient and tolerant, and try to be calm. It’s important to be pleasant.” People in court — especially those representing themselves — usually have enough to deal with without a judge being rude, he said.
In his time as a judge, Bush said, “We had some significant cases, but the truth is they’re all significant,” especially to the people involved.
Fraga was initially convicted of murder in 2009, but the discovery of new evidence overturned his conviction, and he was granted a new trial. Fraga’s second conviction, in 2013, was vacated after a successful appeal citing juror bias. The third trial got a change of venue from Nobles County to Lyon County.
At the end of the third trial, Fraga was convicted of five counts of murder, and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
But Bush has also heard many cases that are less high-profile, from traffic offenses to civil and family court cases. Adoptions are a positive experience to preside over, he said.
Bush has also been part of Lyon County’s drug court program, which started in 2009. Drug court offers an alternative to prison for qualifying drug offenders, and focuses more on drug treatment and rehabilitation.
It takes a lot of people to make a courtroom run, and Bush said he’s glad to have worked with everyone at the Lyon County District Court.
“I have enjoyed the opportunity of working with good staff here in the Court Administrator’s office, and I have an excellent court reporter,” he said.
Bush said his official last day as a judge will be Friday, but he will be continuing to work while a judge is appointed to replace him.
In May, Gov. Mark Dayton’s office announced that the Commission on Judicial Selection would be searching for applicants to fill the vacancy left when Bush retires. Interviews with judge candidates are scheduled later this month, the governor’s office said.
A reception will be held for Bush at the Lyon County Government Center on Friday, from 4 to 6 p.m.

1984/Crossing in front of the ambulance is a woman dressed entirely in white./A Santeria princess, walking among us./On Ninth Avenue is a small store, filled with candles, room spray, and statues./All the magic is here, in Hell’s Kitchen, baking in the summer heat.
How did we know she was a Santeria princess? Somehow, all these facts and legends from the neighborhooded permeated the hospital. Eveyone knew about Santeria, about the longhaired derelict who was a DEA agent gone bad, about the Westies keeping disembodied hands in their freezers.
In a fifth floor walk-up apartment/a man collapses on the worn rug, barely breathing./A candle flickers on the altar/The only bright spot in the room/St. Barbara’s face illuminated by flame/stark as the lightning that struck her pagan father dead.
Part of trying to capture a time in my writing is trying to sink back into the soup of givens that made up the world then. I guess you would call it, “common knowledge.” Except of course common knowledge is always restricted to one culture in one time. So it’s not common at all.
O Saint Barbara protect me/From the miserable people who lurk in the shadows/Seeking to harm me.//O virgin Saint of revenge/I know we must pray often/Against a sudden and unprovided death.//O Chango, God of lightning/Of war and drums and lust/I know we must bathe often in roses and cinnamon.
There used to be a Santaria store run by Rastas a block from my apartment. They had candles and room spray and all, but if you went to the back and stood in front of a mirror, a drawer popped out and hit you in the stomach. If you dropped twenty bucks in and closed it, it would pop back out with a bag of pot in it. How did the entire East Village know to do that?
Watch now, the flames behind your eyes/lit by your servant, who dies/on the floor beside your feet./Two medics kneel beside him/Trying to wrest him from your hands.
Writing is so much about remembering. Or more accurately, re-feeling. But sometimes when I’m going over my past, working on a poem, I think, “Did I just make this all up?” Like it’s some story I told and somehow the world believed it and it turned into memories.
52nd Street. The abuelos play dominos on a TV tray/Boombox tuned to Spanish music/Little boys tumble in the fire hydrant spray/On this hot afternoon black-cat smoke up to my knees./We have a stat transfer. St. Clare’s ICU to Bellevue. Critical./Could there be a place grimmer than the St. Clare’s CCU?
Yes. Directly across the hall/The ICU lacks even flimsy privacy curtains/And is stuffed full of neurological casualties. There’s no staff./The place where the doctors and nurses sit/Surrounded by plexiglass similar to the bulletproof enclosure at a liquor store/Is over yonder. In CCU.
Our transfer is on a respirator, surrounded by a tangle of wires and tubing./I look at his chart. From what I can make out he was on the floor/Crashed, and got rushed to ICU./His blood pressure is being maintained with drugs./He has uncontrollable arrythmias./He must be transferred to Bellevue as soon as possible.
I know this call really happened. But it seems so absurd. How could there have been an ICU where the medical staff is across the hall behind two closed doors? Maybe it was only that way on holidays. The other strange thing about that day was there was only one doctor covering the ICU, CCU, and all the floors, so they didn’t have anyone to ride with us. I know it wasn’t like that usually. But my friend Bonnie went to visit the AIDS ward with a group of singles one afternoon in the early 1990s and they never saw any medical people. She said the entire place seemed to be run by guys in hospital gowns who were smoking, drinking beer, and playing poker.
Today, I calculated how many ambulance calls I did in my life, and it’s around 20,000. Then all the driving around in between calls, hanging out with cops or homeless people, meeting the men who built shacks on the pier, bullshitting with other units. It’s a lot to remember. The starkest things pop up fastest; homicides, people under the train, jumpers. But the rest is there, I know. I’ll be biking by a corner and think, oh, there used to be a boxing club on the second floor here, where the men were all black and spanish and the coaches were white. We had a berry aneurism in one of the rings.
Below is what I was writing today. As I worked on it, I suddenly remembered there was an apartment on West 30th Street inhabited by albinos. The twin girls were drug addicts, the 20 year old brother was on oxygen and smoked crack, and the oldest sister had an enormous ovarian cyst that made her look nine months pregnant. I can still see the brother’s room in my mind.
BrokeDown Palace is a history in poetry. The history of the hospital I worked at, and the history of myself and the people who came before and along with me to build it. I was there for the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2000s. Right now, I've organized the poems by decades and those are by far the fullest. But in a certain way they're harder to write. If I write about the world of St. Clare, for whom the hospital was named, I can build a world from distant history. Maybe it's the way it was or maybe it's not, but I'm not revising it trying to please my picture of myself.
You were born in the Mongol years/You could have met the son of Genghis Kahn./Eleven years old when the crusaders sacked Constantinople/Who were you? A noble child, wrenched by love/of poverty in her rough tunic/St. Francis in the moonlight, eyes like torches . . .
When I get to poems about the 1980s, I have to fight off the desire to improve my past. In light of what came after. It takes so many drafts to get beyond this, and I don't know if I always do.

Ask any person who follows a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle about ordering from a fast food restaurant, and they’ll likely say it’s a bit of a chore. With several menu items scattered about a glowing overhead screen and a line of hungry people anxiously awaiting their turn to order, who’s to blame for their frustration?
Taco Bell has identified this struggle and came up with a solution: the chain just announced that select restaurants are rolling out an all-new vegetarian menu that will lay out all of the meat-free options the fast-food company has to offer, all in one place. You won’t have to pick and choose among its many menu items that you can customize to be vegetarian. Opt out of the sour cream and cheese add-ons, vegan friends, and you can take your pick, too.
To kickstart this process, Taco Bell will be running this new vegetarian menu in select restaurants over the next few months. The chain will soon be revealing its limited-time vegetarian and vegan menu options, so be on the lookout for these. As of now though, these items are being kept under wraps.
Hold on, I thought the Taco Bell menu already offered vegetarian options?
Yes, the fast food giant definitely already has an impressive lineup of vegetarian options, including tostados burritos, crunchwraps, and tacos. In fact, according to a report from QSR, Taco Bell currently offers more than 8 million vegetariancombinations. Don’t let that statistic mislead you though—it just means you can make a lot of different combo meals so that your taste buds don’t get tired of the same single menu item over and over again.
Currently, there are only 13 designated vegetarian menu items, so this upcoming expansion will be greatly welcomed. This new launch is trying to help Taco Bell highlight the true vastness of its vegetarian options all in one place, while also expanding their current menu at the same time.
How long has Taco Bell offered vegetarian and vegan-friendly menu items?
Since 2015, Taco Bell has offered menu options that are certified vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association. Perhaps you’ve explored the “Make it Meatless” feature on the company’s app and website? It helps customers customize their menu orders by filtering out meat and dairy ingredients.
Whether you’re committed to incorporating more vegetables in your meals or already have a plant-based diet and you’re just in need of more menu items, Taco Bell has got you covered. We can’t wait to see what new menu items roll out.

TORONTO, Oct. 5 /CNW/ - What comes between Canada's small businesses and success? Cash flow. Managing clients. Government red tape. These top the list of the barriers faced by small business owners. But, despite the hurdles, 97% of Canada's small business owners report that owning a small business gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment, according to the TD Canada Trust Small Business Survey.
"Without question, small business owners are a resilient group, continually working to overcome barriers that get in the way of their success," says Alec Morley, Senior Vice President, TD Canada Trust. "However, with 87% of small business owners saying they are happier being their own boss, clearly there are strong advantages to business ownership, despite the challenges."
As rewarding as it is to manage a business, there is no question that small business ownership has its difficulties. In addition to those barriers to success, small business owners cited several other challenges - the top three being managing, recruiting and training staff (24%), coping with stress and risk (23%), and financing and cash flow (22%).
"It is impossible to analyze every part of your business everyday.
those numbers in real time."
resources needed to take your business to the next level."
Despite their strong sense of pride and accomplishment, 59% of small business owners say that they find it difficult to separate their business life from their personal life. Fifty-five percent say they spend too much time managing their day-to-day issues and cannot focus on long-term growth and 54% believe that owning their own business is more stressful than working for someone else.
Seventy-seven per cent of small business owners surveyed say that cash flow management tops the list of barriers to success followed by managing clients (72%) and dealing with government bureaucracy or red tape (70%).
The TD Small Business Survey examined the attitudes and behaviours of 711 small business owners in Canada. Small businesses were defined as those companies having 5 to 50 employees. The research was conducted by Environics Research between May 13 and June 15, 2010.

You’re on the go every day, working hard and making that cash. But if you haven’t taken a holiday in months, it’s time to rethink your life choices. It’s time for you to look into Mudgee holiday cottages and take a day off—or ten days. Because once you’re all settled in, you won’t want to leave.
Words like charming, adorable, and delightful probably come to mind when you think of country cottages, set in lovely little towns the world over. The same applies to beach cottages—just replace the rolling hills with lapping waves. And while Mudgee cottages can’t be in every setting at once, you’ll find that the stunning scenery here is better than all the others combined. Cottages are the perfect retreat from everyday life, with serene surroundings both inside and out and that relaxed vibe that can come only from knowing everything is taken care of. Mudgee has an equally charming vibe, and that’s why so many travellers love it.
“Don’t worry, be happy” should be your motto on your next holiday. Well, friend, in Mudgee, that’s not just the motto of visitors; the locals are living that theme every day. So take a break from that presentation you’re working on and make a different graph instead—of Wotif’s low prices on over Mudgee cottage accommodation options. It’s about time you got to kick back, and we don’t mean putting your feet up at your desk.

An open plan school situated in the Whitehill area in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire.
Our school benefits from being situated in North Hamilton & Blantyre Social Inclusion Partnership Area (S.I.P.). We share a Home/School Partnership worker with the local R.C. school - St. Paul's Primary in Whitehill.
We have approximately 140 pupils, age 4.1/2 -11 years and have 7 classes P. I - 7 and a Nurture Group which we call Rowan Cottage catering for 8 - 10 children who may find it difficult to settle in their classes in P. 1, 2 & 3. At the moment we have 8.5 teachers, including the Head Teacher, a full time Early Intervention Teacher for P. I and 2 and a full time teacher (S.E.N.) and Nursery Nurse for Rowan Cottage.
Ancillary staff include 2 clerical staff, who can do anything, a classroom assistant, 2 S.E.N. auxiliaries, a Janitor and 3 kitchen assistants. Our meals are cooked on the premises and we have recently had a swipe card system introduced for all our children to pay for meals or breakfast, which is also supplied. 20 - 30 children on average have breakfast each morning before school begins.
All our staff work exceptionally hard to make sure our children feel safe and secure in our school. The children respond by giving us their best-most days! We are also given lots of support in class and the playground by a group of dedicated parents who give their time voluntarily to assist us in making the school a better place.
Clubs are run after school for P6 and P7 by staff - through our Supported Study Club.
Badminton - we're looking for some opposition! Computer Club; Football - taken by our Community Police and Netball - but not this session as time space and money was difficult to organise.

These reactions make it harder to enjoy what is in your glass. On the other hand, when you see your glass half full, there is a natural tendency to value what is in your glass, thus increasing the chances of enjoying it. This reaction naturally enhances your pleasure with what is in your glass.

If you’re like me, Dropbox plays a major part of your daily work. And being on the go, it gets hard to do much straight from your smartphone – if you can’t access your laptop. Now, to help you be a lot more productive while on the go, Dropbox has introduced five new features for iOS users.
Being able to work from your mobile device is a great help in this day and age. Especially if you’re out and about on most days, or traveling around the globe, being able to be productive straight from your phone or tablet is a big plus. Sure, it’s not the same as working at a desk, but there are times when you just have to get something done. With Dropbox’s new iOS app, you get five new features to help you out.
We live in a paperless world, yet it seems that having to print, sign, scan, email or even fax (?) a document happens rather often. To help, Dropbox now allows you to sign documents directly within the app. Just sign your name on your device, and draw you signature on the screen.
If you’ve just updated to iOS, you can simply add the new Dropbox widget to the widget area on your lock screen. So, without having to even unlock your phone, you get access “to some of your most common Dropbox workflows,” like to create files, view, and upload them, and scan anything directly into Dropbox. Hey, you can even scan your receipts and upload them, right from your lockscreen.
The new app will notify you when someone saves a new version of a file. As soon as a new version is saved, you will be notified about it. Reloading to keep tabs on changes is also an option. That simple.
This feature makes great use of picture-in-picture on your iPad. While working on any other app on your iPad, you can be working on Dropbox as well. Want to watch a video for example? Easy. If you don’t like picture-in-picture, you’ll be able to use split-screen within the next few weeks.
Get yourself over to the App Store to get the new version.

In some Indian beliefs, Shiva (the goddess of dance, love and deconstruction) will come back alive one day and will ruin the whole world in order to reconstruct it for good. It will happen in a time called Kally ages (dark ages) when people’s heart symbolically will turn to cemeteries. No emotion nor faith will exist by that time. In such a time, Shiva will start dancing in a cemetery and while his madly dancing, he will be called SUDDHALAIYADI that means : A dancer on the ashes of cemeteries.

In 1938, the radio play The War of the Worlds, starring Orson Welles, aired on CBS. The live drama, which employed fake breaking-news reports, panicked some listeners who thought the portrayal of a Martian invasion was real.
In 1944, the Martha Graham ballet Appalachian Spring, with music by Aaron Copland, premiered at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., with Graham in a leading role.
Ten years ago: A jury in Cambridge, Mass., convicted British au pair Louise Woodward of second-degree murder in the death of 8-month-old Matthew Eappen. The judge, Hiller B. Zobel, later reduced the verdict to manslaughter and set Woodward free. Confronting some of his harshest critics, Chinese President Jiang Zemin defended his country's human-rights record before members of Congress. Movie director Samuel Fuller died in Hollywood at age 86.

The Short Version: After a less than encouraging reception with his enjoyable maiden monster mash, GODZILLA X MEGAGUIRUS (2001), Masaaki Tezuka returns to update Mechagodzilla yet again with this ULTRA entertaining live action anime cartoon with amazing creature combat sequences, an appealing science fiction plotline and just barely enough character exposition. Furthermore, the monster action is the focal point--the bread and butter of Japanese giant monster movies, and Tezuka showcases an ambitious style with his monsters and massive mechs.
In 1999, Godzilla attacks Japan for the first time since 1954. While other monsters have led incursions against Japanese cities during that time, this new appearance by the dreaded radioactive lizard causes Japan's military scientists to create a bio robot, a Mechagodzilla using the recently discovered bones of the beast that wrecked havoc back in 1954. Completed in 2003 and christened as 'Kiryu', the man made mechanical monster is put into battle when Godzilla abruptly appears once again.
After displaying a knack for creating monster action vastly superior to anything from the 90s entries, Masaaki Tezuka returns to the series to impress yet again with this lean, mean and almost plot free, but heavily sugar coated spectacular pitting the Big G against an all new incarnation of Mechagodzilla. Having so far appeared in five movies, the look of this robotic adversary has changed from film to film going from minor alterations to a complete overhaul in the '90s and '00s entries. The use of a gigantic robotic counter-weapon first appeared in the lively Honda directed feature KING KONG ESCAPES (1968) which featured Mechani-Kong. The creation of a robotic Godzilla was a no-brainer, but it would be some six years before such an idea would develop.
First appearing in Jun Fukuda's GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA in 1974, that film saw Toho's titanic robot a creation of alien design. Proving a successful formula, the company decided to build a sequel around the bionic beast and in a far more serious, adult manner that abandoned the livelier previous picture and its wild fantasy and spy elements. That film was TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA (1975). Despite the return of Ishiro Honda, Akira Ifukube and a more absorbing than usual screenplay, that movie failed at the Japanese box office.
Flash forward 18 years later and an all new version of Godzilla's mechanical double was unveiled in a remake bearing the same title of GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA (1993). Only this time, the scriptwriters eschewed the otherworldly machinations of the Showa series going in the opposite direction highlighting this robots man-made origins. This 90s version featured a variety of flashy laser weapons, a sleeker look, but a less than imposing design. Still, the film was a hit. Ten years later, here we are again with a second remake that retains Mecha G's man-made scientific status, yet with a more formidable countenance than the 90s version. For Tezuka's take on the subject, this Mighty Mech bears some resemblance to the evil image of the 70s character.
In a novel approach, this version of Mechagodzilla is constructed from the bones of the original monster that laid waste to Japan in 1954. While this plot device is an ingenious way to rework the material, the bones of Godzilla were shown to have disintegrated during the closing moments of Honda's original masterpiece. Curiously, the use of the monsters bones to fashion a counter weapon seems to have been partially inspired by a plot point from 1993's GVMG wherein that version of the giant robot was designed based on the recovered remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah. This new incarnation carries with it some COOL weaponry, one particular piece literally so.
The Absolute Zero cannon is a freezing weapon that emits a beam registering 27.3 degrees below zero. This is Mecha G's hidden card against Godzilla. This type of offensive weapon was likely inspired by the Super X-3 seen in GODZILLA VS. DESTROYER from 1995. That futuristic battle plane was equipped with a number of freezing lasers and missiles with which to prevent an impending meltdown by the Godzilla of the Heisei series. Other MG weapons are the requisite rockets and masers as well as a pair of forearm lasers and a hidden sword that ejects from the robots wrist. As impressive as this mechanical marvel is, none of the screens re-interpretations of Godzilla's robotic double have the sheer number of attacks of the original 70s version.
In addition to all the cool kaiju sci fi accouterments on display, Mechagodzilla is carried and guided remotely from three massive battle planes--the AC-3 Shirasagi. These planes also act as a regenerative system for when Kiryu's energy is depleted. This plot point yields one of the most impressive and intriguing sequences in all of Kaiju-dom. The scene in question is 'Kiryu's Big Joy Ride'. During their first rather brief altercation, Godzilla's roar sets off some sort of inherent memory deep within the inter-spinal cells contained within the bones used to build the bio creation. From there, Kiryu goes 'out of control', on a warpath of his own. The military are helpless to stop the rampaging robot and have to stand by while it tramples the Yokohama and Hekkeijima districts till Kiryu's batteries deplete--58 minutes later.
Tezuka's three Godzilla movies all had good things about them most notably that his entries were able to hearken back to the Showa style while maintaining a modern sensibility. While this second of his three G pictures is a remake, it also contains recycled plot elements from his GODZILLA X MEGAGUIRUS (2000), one of only two Millennium series entries that featured an all new monster for Godzilla to do battle with. That film featured a female character that harbored a vendetta against the gigantic lizard for the death of her commanding officer. In GXMG, a female central figure again has a score to settle with Godzilla after feeling responsible for the death of one of her team members. Incidentally, the other films lead, Misato Tanaka, was an obsessed, determined and tough lady who took the fight to Godzilla. By contrast, GVMG's Yumiko Syaku is far more solemn and subdued, but a bit more likable.
Also, both those movies did a bit of time hopping during their opening sequences in an effort to connect said films to the original 1954 GODZILLA. GXMG begins in 1999 in Tateyama Prefecture. A huge typhoon is reported near the Ryuku Islands. Godzilla appears just as the Anti Mega Losses Force is called to the area. Established in 1966, its sole reason for being is to protect the nation from attacks by gigantic monsters. Knowing this, the Japanese people's somewhat casual attitude towards rampaging beasts is treated in the same fashion (albeit on a larger scale) as a natural disaster such as a tornado, or hurricane. And that's exactly how Godzilla is treated here--as a natural disaster in the form of a gigantic monster. He was also treated in this fashion in Takao Okawara's average GODZILLA 2000 (1999).
Less a character this time (and in this films sequel), his presence is summed up basically as a force of nature that appears unexpectedly. In the case of this movie, the radioactive lizard's last showing was in 1954. The military refers to this new creature as "another Godzilla" since the original was killed with Dr. Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer. However, courtesy of stock footage from MOTHRA (1961) and WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (1966), we are told that various other monsters have attacked Japan since Godzillas inaugural path of devastation. The appearance of Gaira (from GARGANTUAS) is credited with the creation of the Maser tank as a viable means of defense against the monsters.
Aside from some obvious similarities between Tezuka's MEGAGUIRUS and the new MECHAGODZILLA, where the two films differ is in their plots. Tezuka's maiden monster movie had a fairly deep storyline with a handful of twists and a link to Toho's original RODAN (1956). GXMG (2003) resembles a live action anime and contains a minimalist plot that, while threadbare, is perfect science fiction 'popcorn & coke' material. Also, MEGAGUIRUS unfortunately flopped at the Japanese box office while the leaner MG remake took home a tidy profit. Wataru Mimura's script does have a three way character arc that gets sporadic development during the some 40 minutes worth of human interaction.
This involves Akane, the JXSDF team member mourning the loss of a dead team mate; DNA scientist Tokumitsu Yuhara and his daughter, Sara, who still mourns the loss of her mother. Tokumitsu falls for Akane and his playfully bumbling nature is evident every time he's in Akane's presence. He and his daughter maintain a good relationship with Sara sometimes appearing smarter than her dad. There's some nice touches, minor though they be, during the human drama such as Sara questioning why her mother can't be brought back to life as opposed to a robotic monstrosity. It's not expounded upon, but these subtle nuances are welcome amongst all the fast paced action, explosions and creature combat. There's some additional minor details found lurking within Mimura's script, too.
Even with its preponderance of sci fi shenanigans, the writer finds a brief respite to question economic and environmental issues such as tax payers dollars going to the anti Godzilla weapon. Prime Minister Tsuge tells those questioning where the money will come from to get behind the project! Others see this as a possible re-armament of Japan. The film also flirts with international concerns for the reasoning of creating such a powerful weapon. It isn't much, but it's a nice touch to have something to connect fantasy with reality. Such nuances would be scrapped in the next picture--a direct sequel to this one.
Tezuka was seemingly fond of bringing back actors from previous movies. Not only does Kumi Mizuno (MONSTER ZERO, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD) have a role as the Prime Minister, but famous Japanese baseball player, Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui, has a quick cameo just as Mechagodzilla is carried across a baseball field. Takahiro Murata, who played the head of the GPN (Godzilla Protection Network) from GODZILLA 2000, has a brief cameo at the beginning. Misato Tanaka, who played the vengeance fueled Kiriko from GODZILLA X MEGAGUIRUS, also has a cameo here as a courageous nurse who gets in Godzilla's way to save a child. For whatever reason, all of the directors G films have an additional scene after the closing credits have finished. The one seen here occurs in Kiryu's hangar and reveals whether or not Tokumitsu gets his date with Akane, some closure with Sara and a salute to the big guys mechanical doppelganger.
Tezuka was also partial to linking his movies not only with Honda's original (likely a prerequisite from the Toho brass), but with past monster movies. His MEGAGUIRUS provided a link to RODAN (1956) with its insect Meganulon creatures and this films connection to both Mothra and Gaira, but his next entry, TOKYO S.O.S. (2003), featured a connection with Honda's YOG, MONSTER FROM SPACE (1970) when the carcass of a dead Kamebas (the spike backed turtle monster from that movie) washes ashore presumably the victim of a fatal bite from Godzilla. Tezuka really had a keen eye for shooting monster melees and the ones seen here do not disappoint at all. Mechagodzilla even resorts to some punishing fist action at one point and the tail slinging shot is reminiscent of the one from KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1962). Aside from the monster battles, the humans get in on some of the action as well once Mechagodzilla goes down for the count and has to be operated manually. This same thing happens again in the sequel, but even more dramatically.
After his Toho tenure with Godzilla was over, Tezuka moved on to a remake of Sonny Chiba's hit science fiction movie, TIME SLIP (1979). Sadly, aside from a few eye opening moments and yet another cool science fiction plot, Tezuka's SENGOKU JIEITAI 1549 (2005) failed to capture either an audience or the violent spectacle of the earlier production.
Yuichi Kikuchi's special effects are some of the best of this series as a whole and impress further with the succeeding picture. Interestingly, all the Millennium entries mock Godzilla's first appearance hidden beneath a gigantic wave from the universally derided American GODZILLA from 1998. The one seen here is the most subtle of the 2000 series. Female composer, Michiro Oshima encores from MEGAGUIRUS to deliver another dynamite score, recycling a cue or two from her bombastic soundtrack from Masaaki Tezuka's premier Godzilla film.
Recalling an image of a grand live action anime cartoon, this remake is high on action and modest on characterization. It's there, it just gets lost among the monsters and hi tech gadgetry. At least there's a touch more humanistic substance here than afforded the sequel. For Godzilla fans this movie is must see entertainment for young kids big and small. It's an old fashioned science fiction spectacular told with a modern spirit and one that is told very well and with a lot of imagination. Hopefully, if Toho revives the series as planned, the new films will have the same Honda styled grandeur and child-like wonder inherent in Tezuka's movies.
