In this planning guide:
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open in 2019 in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The opening of Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open prior to the nearly identical land being built in Walt Disney World.
The official opening date for Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will be May 31st.
According to the details released at the 2019 Walt Disney shareholder meeting, opening day will be a celebration of taking guests to a galaxy far, far, away. One of the two main attractions, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, will open at a later date that has not yet been announced.
For guests planning to visit the new land at Disneyland park between May 31 and June 23, 2019 they will need valid theme park admission and will be required to make a no-cost reservation, subject to availability, to access the land. Guests staying at one of the three Disneyland Resort hotels during these dates will receive a designated reservation to access Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge during their stay (one reservation per registered guest) with their theme park admission.

Information on how to make a reservation will be updated as soon as we receive it!
The official opening date for Walt Disney World's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will be August 29th.
This opening date is also sooner than expected for Walt Disney World which is exciting for many Star Wars fans. One of the two main attractions, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, will open at a later date that has not yet been announced. Disney has stated there will be no reservation system in place for viewing the land at Walt Disney World but it will be included in Early Magic Hours which guests staying at Walt Disney World hotels get as one of their on-site resort privileges.

For guests planning to visit the new land at Disneyland park between May 31 and June 23, 2019 they will need valid theme park admission and will be required to make a no-cost reservation, subject to availability, to access the land. Guests staying at one of the three Disneyland Resort hotels during these dates will receive a designated reservation to access Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge during their stay (one reservation per registered guest) with their theme park admission. Details have not yet been released on how guests not staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel will make their reservation. Disney has made it clear that there will be no stand by line option for guests that weren't lucky enough to secure a reservation during this period.
After the reservation period, beginning on June 24th, Disneyland will work to limit access to keep crowd levels low and make the land enjoyable for all. Their strategy to achieve this goal is through a system they will call boarding passes which guests will access through the Disney app. Each boarding pass will include an entry time along with a visitation time period with the length of that time period yet to be determined. It is likely that the pass will have a timed window in which it can be redeemed.
According to the recently released USA Today article,
Even as the reservation requirement goes away, Disney will continue to limit access via "boarding passes," which guests will obtain through a Disney app. Working like a virtual queue, guests will be notified when their party may enter the new land. Officials are uncertain how long the boarding passes will be necessary based on crowds. The goal is to avoid the crush of humanity the highly anticipated land is expected to draw, even though the limitations may alienate some die-hard fans who had perhaps been prepared to wait any number of hours just to get a glimpse inside Galaxy's Edge.
"We will be working hard to make sure guests have enough time in the land to see all those great things and experience the attraction," Kris Theiler, vice president of Disneyland Park, said.
It sounds like Disney is working hard to make Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge an enjoyable experience right from opening day and manage crowds so everyone has a great time.
For guests waiting in line when their boarding pass time arrives, Disney has made clear that their comfort of guests waiting in that line will be addressed. Cast Members will help entertain guests with games and entertainment. There will be plenty of food and drink options to access without leaving the line along with bathroom passes so guests can use the restroom without losing their place in line.
The crowd-control measures, if any are planned, have not yet been announced for Walt Disney World in Florida.
It is likely that Disney will see how the opening and boarding passes run over at Disneyland to see if they need to implement a similar measure for Walt Disney World.

Where are they putting Star Wars Land in Disneyland?
The Disneyland Star Wars: Galaxy Edge is situated behind Big Thunder Mountain and the Rivers of America on land that was previously Big Thunder Ranch and backstage. As part of the construction process, the Disneyland Railroad and Rivers of America were closed for a few months to be rerouted so that they would not cut through the new Star Wars Land. Star Wars Land will have three entrances at Disneyland. The first is located right next to Fantasyland, the second is next to Frontierland, and the third is found via a trail from Critter Country below the Hungry Bear Restaurant.
Which park at Disney World has Star Wars Land?
The addition to the Walt Disney World Resorts will be in Disney's Hollywood Studios park. The new land is replacing most of the park's Streets of America attractions, including Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, the Hollywood Studios Studio Tour and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure. The backlot facades and nearby restaurants and shops are also being replaced. There will just be two entrances leading into the Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios Star Wars Land.
"In my experience there is no such thing as luck." ~ Obi-Wan Kenobi
Walt Disney Imagineering, the group that designs all Disney theme parks, has worked tirelessly to make Star Wars Land the most impressive step forward in theme parks we have seen in years. The new land will be fully immersive into the cannon and story of Star Wars. The Imagineering Star Wars Studio worked closely with the Lucasfilm Story Group to situate the land into the stories told in the films perfectly.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge takes place on a new remote planet called Batuu. This planet is rough and tumble themed to an outer frontier trading post in the Outer Rim Territories just before Wild Space. Although this planet is not specifically mentioned in the movies, it is said to have existed for thousands of years. The village on the planet of Batuu that will be the main focus of this new land with the shops and dining options is called Black Spire Outpost.
The lands will consist of lush greenery and buildings made of stone and metal. Batuu is home to smugglers, rogue traders, and a presence from the imperial First Order. Not all the characters in the land will be new though, you can be sure you'll see BB-8, Chewbacca, and other fan favorites interacting with guests.
Overall the most impressive aspect of Star Wars Land is that they have made a pledge that you will be completely immersed inside the land. That means you won't see Coca-Cola products sold anywhere in the land or shirts that actually say "Star Wars" on them. When you step into the portals for Star Wars Land you will literally be on Galaxy's Edge on the planet of Batuu.

Star Wars Land will feature two brand new high tech attractions that will fully immerse you in the Star Wars universe: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will open first on May 31st 2019 with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening later this year.
The Disney Parks Blog have recently stated that neither attraction will be available for FastPass/MaxPass or FastPass+ at either park when they both initially open. Over time, it is likely that both rides will be added to the list of FastPass attractions- we just don't have a specific time frame for that just yet.
"You know, that ship's saved my life quite a few times. She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy!"- Lando Calrissian
On this interactive Millennium Falcon ride, aspiring pilots can test their skills and maneuver Han Solo's beloved ship through a mission while shooting blasters and thrusting into hyperspace. Just like other Disney interactive rides, such as Toy Story: Midway Mania, guests will be rated on how well they pilot.
Guests may earn extra Galactic Credits for a job well done or end up on a bounty hunter's list for banging up the ship. Your performance flying the ship will literally change the way that characters throughout Galaxy's Edge interact with you.
If you crash the Millennium Falcon you can bet that the smuggler on the street will call you out. Your experiences throughout the land will play into your reputation and your overall experience on Batuu will change as a result.
This past February Disney invited journalists from around the world on a multi-day media event to come tour Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Reporters were able to talk with more than 40 folks with Imagineering and Lucafilm that have been leading the construction team working on the project.
And the result was some amazing photos of this much anticipated attraction!

The largest new Star Wars Land ride is the First Order Fleet attraction. This incredible trackless ride takes place during an epic battle between the First Order and Resistance.
Guests will feel like they are hurtling through a massive Star Destroyer as they are being pursued by the First Order. Images were shared of the incredible scale of the attraction. In one scene riders will face massive two story tall AT-AT figures and dodge through their legs below. In another scene, guests will come face to face with Kylo Ren in an interrogation.
NEW update: This past February Disney invited journalists from around the world on a multi-day media event to come tour Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Reporters were able to talk with more than 40 folks with Imagineering and Lucafilm that have been leading the construction team working on the project. More details were revealed about this large scale attraction confirming the above previous rumors that this ride will be much more than quick few minute long attraction but a 28 minute long experience!
This preview also confirmed that this attraction will truly be four attractions in one. Guests will board multiple ride vehicles, face enemies, and walk down the halls of a real Star Destroyer as if you are truly a Resistance fighter captured by the Dark Order. For the first time a Disney ride will move you from experience to experience in different vehicles and different segments to really capture that immersive feel that Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is aiming to achieve.
Check out this detailed description of the attraction from one of the lucky journalistsinvited to this recent preview event:
When it begins, BB-8 and Rey will ask participants to join a mission to fight the First Order. A door will open and suddenly, you'll be outside, walking past Poe Dameron's X-Wing on a busy flight deck as 50 or so guests board a ship piloted by Nien Nunb — the first of multiple ride vehicles you'll encounter. Things go well from first glance outside the high-tech monitor "windows," but soon, you'll be sucked inside a Star Destroyer. Once taken prisoner, you'll see a full-sized TIE Fighter on your right and a 100-foot "window" out towards the sky as 50 Stormtroopers stand at attention, set to intimidate your group as you're ushered through the vessel towards small detention cells modeled after the one Poe Dameron is interrogated in during "The Force Awakens." From here, Kylo Ren will make his first of multiple appearances as you prepare to escape the First Order's grasp — and that's just the first third of the ride.
The queue works hard to set the scene for guests waiting to experience this immersive attraction. Disney has prepared well for this anticipated ride by creating a long indoor queue that appears to be carved from stone with laser torches with ancient carvings and high-tech Rebel equipment on display. This will be a queue added to Disney's list of queues that will be interactive with the Play Disney Parks app that allow guests to find glowing holographic star maps. Portions of the queue also feature stone benches which is a Disney first for any line space.
Another unique aspect of this attraction is that unlike other Disney attractions that broadcast the area of its location with signs to welcome guests, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blend in with the forested area outside of the Black Spire Outpost. To get to the ride guests will walk down a side path to reach the X-Wing and A-Wing waiting to launch before they see the entrance to the attraction. Once guests enter, nothing will be visible from the trees of which there are 600 in the land.
Disney has promised that this attraction will be on a scale unlike anything that you have ever seen at any theme park (and that is including the best ride at Universal Studios Hollywood in Harry Potter World.)
Check out these recent photos from the press release this past February!
I might be a First Order sympathizer once I experience this larger than life attraction.
"How you get so big eating food of this kind?" Yoda
Star Wars: Galaxy Edge will be home to theme park shopping and dining experiences like nothing you have ever seen before. To help keep this immersive experience authentic you won't see Cast Members dressed in one uniform throughout the land, rather they will all be unique to the shop or restaurant.
Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts guests can dine at a cantina similar to Tatooine's Mos Eisley Cantina from Episode IV: A New Hope called Oga's Cantina.
Here patrons can try Star Wars-inspired food and unique drink concoctions! This cantina will be another immersive experience where guests can buy and barter for their food and drink to feel like they are truly at a space trading post. Disney has announced that this location will also serve alcohol- a first for Disneyland!
On trading cards that were given away in the Star Wars Launch Bay in Tomorrowland one card showed Rex, the robot pilot from the original Star Tours, entertaining guests with the caption of "Rex entertains the crowd." Rex has re-envisioned himself as the cantina's DJ and will provide the musical entertainment. The cantina songs are original to the land created by composers and songwriters worldwide.
See the images below to get a preview of the drinks you can enjoy in this rambunctious cantina.
Disney has partnered with several breweries and winemakers to create beers and wines specific to Oga's Cantina. A few examples shared with recent journalists are: Bad Motivator IPA, White Wampa Ale, Spiced Rutter Cider, Imperial Red Cab Sav, and Toniray White from Alderaan.
Oga's Cantina has been rumored to be mainly standing room only- likely to prevent guests from camping out for too long so everyone can get a chance to experience this lively spot in Black Spire Outpost.
You will be able to find this designated location for 'traveling food shuttles' under the large hanger that draw guests into the Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo.
Check out this quote from the Disney Parks Blog about Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo,
Chef Strono "Cookie" Tuggs is in much demand for his culinary skills, so he moves from site to site in a modified Sienar-Chall Utilipede-Transport that becomes a mobile kitchen and restaurant like an intergalactic "food truck." His travels across the galaxy allow him to fill his pantry with exotic ingredients he uses to make new and unusual dishes inspired by the fare he created during his time working for Maz Kanata in her castle on Takodana. Now, "Cookie" is proud to share his cuisine with visitors at Tuggs' Grub, a "traveling diner for diners traveling."
Cookie's food shuttle is the one we see docked on the roof of the hangar bay is said to be carrying precious cargo of Chef Tuggs' finest foods from across the galaxy.
See the preview images below to get a visual sampling of these exotic delicacies from around the galaxy.
Based on the food options released so far this appears to be our main restaurant that will be accompanied by smaller vendors that we will find in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (below) while Oga's Cantina will serve as the local tavern option. Guests will be able to dine indoors in the hangar bay or outside in the courtyard.
As one of the food pods available near the hangar bay, Ronto Roasters will offer meats spit-roasted over a former Podracer engine turned by a former smelter droid, 8D-J8.
Guests will be able to interact with 8D-J8 while they wait and sample these fine roasted meats.
You cannot have a Star Wars themed land without blue milk! This will be the place to go to get your blue or green milk from Bubo Wamba Family Farms. Disney has said this won't be made from actual milk which will make many vegan travelers happy.
One of the other street market stalls offering galaxy delicacies, this grain vendor sells the Outpost Mix (sweet and salty popcorn with a hint of spice) for guests to enjoy. The loyal Disneyland popcorn fans will be happy about this!
Guests will be able to purchase these Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge themed Coca-Cola products inside the land. The bottles are fashioned in a droid-like shape with labels that appear scuffed up to fit within the 'rusty look' of Star Wars. The labels will be written in Aurebesh- the Star Wars language you will see used throughout Galaxy's Edge.
I'm already saving my appetite to enjoy all of these amazing food options!
"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" Princess Leia
The village of Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will consist of small storefronts that will be stuffed with props to make them appear like vendor stalls. The idea is that each shop has an elaborate backstory and is run by a colorful character from the Star Wars universe.
The merchandise aims to be completely immersive by making it look like it was either hand-sewn by locals, put together from spare parts in a droid junkyard, or collected from high profile Star Wars locations in the galaxy.
And you will only be able to get this merchandise within the land- making it completely unique from other Star Wars merchandise typically sold in the parks that you can often purchase online on the Shop Disney website.
This is where you can come to build your lightsabers! This secretive group of people who run this shop, the Gathers, have dedicated their lives to restoring balance in the galaxy by passing on their knowledge of the Jedi and the Force.
The workshop Master will guide guests to customize and build their own lightsabers and teach them the ways of the Jedi. Guests will choose four disciplines: Power and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental and Nature, or Protection and Defense. After that, they will choose their kyber crystal. Once those choices have been made, the workshop Master will give you a set of 10 lightsaber pieces to combine to create your custom lightsaber.
This sounds like more than just your average shopping option but a full immersive experience that will truly make any Padawan feel that they've stepped into the Star Wars universe. Press previews have revealed that the shop will only hold 14 people at a time and the experience will be 15 minutes long- I imagine this means that this could be a reservation option. We will have to wait and see as we learn more!
The Creature Stall, run by another new character named Bina, will feature different creatures of the Star Wars galaxy like porgs, tauntauns, Rathars, and more. These creatures will react when you squeeze, stroke or poke theme. Some vibrate and come to life in your hands! Keep an eye out for the dozing Lothcat inside.
The toy stall run by local Batuu Toydarian, Zabaka, will feature Star Wars favorites like Chewbecca, Yoda, and stormtroopers all created to appear like they're handmade with scraps found in land.
Kids can pull off C-3PO's head and he will cry in terror or if you put it on backwards it will quote the movies by saying: "What's going on? Turn around. I can't see." There will be a remote-controlled robotic R-3X — the former Star Tours pilot turned cantina DJ — that will talk, roll, and play wireless music from your phone.
Toydarian, a character first introduced in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" will run this toy stall in Black Spire Outpost.
For the hardcore Star Wars fans, you can purchase full outfits at Black Spire Outfitters including options to mix and match clothing so you can fit right in with the immersive feel of the land.
Guests can find gear that showcases their Resistance loyalty with clothing, badges, and more at the Resistance Supply.
If the First Order is your style, guests can display their allegiance and choose among gear and supplies that the 709th Legion brought with them to First Order Cargo.
The theme of Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities is that of a rare collector selling items that represent various eras of the Star Wars unviverse such as ancient Jedi and Sith artifacts, lightsabers, holocrons, and more.
Dok-Ondar will be present in the shop as guests inspect his wares- taking calls at his desk and barking orders to his assistants. Be sure to scroll down through the article to read more about this colorful character and his special Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge comic book role!
The shop will feature rare Jedi artifacts to those studying to ancient lore to cultivate.
This shop will feature collectibles or "relics" that have been left behind by the Sith.
Guests can also purchase Holocrons, which are ancient repoisitories of wisdom used by the Jedi and the Sith to record their teachings so future generations could understand the Force. Kyber crystals can unlock additional content in both Jedi and Sith Holocrons.
The Droid Depot will allow guests to build their own personal droids that will act as their friends throughout Black Spire Outpost.
Guests can build their own R-series or BB-series droids along with other droid varieties. These droids will be capable of interacting with the immersive elements of Batuu which is sure to make them a popular merchandise option.
The Jewels of Bith marketplace stall will carry accessories and other trinkets.
"As my sweet mother always said, 'Son, if one hostage is good, two are better. And three, well, that's good business.'" -Hondo Ohnaka
Hondo Ohnaka is a fan favorite pirate from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels that will be brought to life as one of Disney's most advanced Audio-Animatronics figures ever made. You will find him waiting in the control tower in the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction. He has teamed up with Chewbecca and needs you to transport cargo on the fastest ship in the galaxy!
"Remember," he tells guests in the queue. "The more you work together, the more you earn. Your lives — and my profit — depend on it!"
Dok-Ondar is another animatronic Ithorian you will meet who runs the black market on Batuu. He's mentioned briefly in Solo: A Star Wars Story so he also has some history in the Star Wars cannon. His shop, Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, will carry all treasured artifacts. According to Walt Disney Imagineering, he is a fairly well-connected, dangerous scoundrel but he may be willing to barter! As Imagineering show programmer Amy Goodwin said at the recent press preview, "He has two moods. He can be happy or frustrated." Be sure to scroll down to read about rumored role in the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge comic.
Zabaka is a female Toydarian will run a shop with artisan-style items, convor whitles, musical instruments (playable and come pre-loaded with tunes) along with plushies of aliens and heroes.
Bina runs The Creature Stall which offers oinking puffer pigs, writhing rathtars, and chirping porgs.
Fan favorites of Star Tours will also be happy to hear that R-3X, or Rex, our first Star Tours captain has taken over as the DJ in Oga's Cantina. In the sneak peak offered to the official Star Wars website, "he bopped his head charmingly to the music, which sounded like what could only be called Jawa hip hop."
Aside from these charming animatronics, the village of Black Spire Outpost will also be filled with Cast Members taking on roles of villagers with varying stories. Some might be Resistance sympathizers or some may be loyal to the First Order. Depending on your own allegiances, you may want to choose your words wisely as you converse with the locals.
"I'm one with the Force. The Force is with me." Chirrut mwe
Cast Members working in the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge area of Disneyland will be a huge part of the success of the immersive storytelling experience. The costumes are going to be a large part of what makes this immersive feel so real to the guests of Black Spire Outpost.
There will be different styles that allow Cast Members to mix and match pants and shirts and accessories to give every villager their unique look. The First Order and Resistance will also have their own costumes that reflect their allegiances.
The costume designer behind this magic, Joe Kucharski, took his inspiration from all of the Star Wars films in addition to the animated series to create these looks. Disney worked hard to make these clothes comfortable for the Cast Members along with staying true to the Star Wars iconic look by working with innovative fabrics that make the costumes breathable and lighter for those hot summer months.
Cast Members can create their own characters but are limited on just how inspired they can get- for example, no relatives of any iconic characters allowed.
Devoted Star Wars fans have had many questions as we await this much anticipated land! Scroll down to find out more about Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
Why the planet Batuu?
Imagineers wanted this to be a completely new land and created the planet of Batuu, which is not featured in the movies, so that this could be a new story to be told. According to the portfolio creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering Scott Trowbridge,"We know those places. We know the stories that happened there and we know we're not in them. This place, Black Spire Outpost, is designed to be a place that invites exploration, discovery, a place that invites us to become a character in the world of Star Wars."
What is Black Spire Outpost?
The planet name is Batuu- the name of the village that is the focus of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is called Black Spire Outpost.
Will guests get to see favorite characters?
The details that have been released about the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction have revealed that guests will see Poe, BB-8, Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren on the ride- portrayed mostly on screens. As for roaming characters or meeting them in person, we'll have to wait and see. It could be that guests will still meet favorites (Chewy, Darth Vader, Rey, and Kylo Ren) over at Star Wars Launch Bay in Tomorrowland.
What is the timeline of Batuu in the Star Wars universe?
Imagineers have said that the story of Batuu and its village of Black Spire Outpost takes place at some point within the current trilogy. This gives Imagineers the freedom to change the land as new movies come out and the Star Wars universe continues to grow.
When you think of it that way, it does make sense they picked a brand new location within the time frame of these more recent movies. Picking a planet like Tatooine in the midst of the original series, for example, would truly limit how much it could grow since like Disney said those stories have been told.
Are these new characters in the land and other added elements now Star Wars cannon?
Star Wars experts would say YES- everything revealed in Batuu will become official Star Wars cannon including the rides.
Is there a story behind the land's rock design?
Disney wanted Batuu to have its distinct element in the same way that Hoth's main physical feature is snow or Tatooine's is sand. So in the case of Batuu, the main feature are spires which are chunks of petrified rock that were once giant trees and have since cracked and broken.
One spire in the middle of the land is blacker than the rest- which is where we truly get the village name Black Spire Outpost.
What will happen to Star Tours once Galaxy's Edge opens?
Disney has already said that Star Tours will remain safe and sound in its long standing location inside Tomorrowland.
What other surprises can guests expect to see at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge?
Well, this is the question that keeps on giving but for now we know that one surprise feature guests will see are lasers beams flying through the air. I guess we'll have to wait and see what this means!
If I can buy lightsabers, can I buy blasters?
Nope, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will adhere to Disney rules- no blasters.
What kind of Star Wars easter eggs can I expect?
This land is going to be Star Wars fan HEAVEN- so yes, you can expect a plethora of Star Wars easter eggs from the classic films to the newest trilogy.
For example, guests will see a dianogo (the eyeball/snake creature from the trash compacter in A New Hope) hiding behind a tube above a water fountain. It will pop out when people drink from the water fountain!
Will the lands in Disneyland in Anaheim and Walt Disney World in Orlando be different?
Aside from slight differences in certain color schemes that work better with each state's weather/sun levels and Florida having one less entrance into the land- the lands will be identical.
"Oh, my dear friend. How I've missed you." C-3PO
And that's not all! The Oscar-winning composer John Williams is creating new and original Star Wars themes exclusively for the land!
You can listen to the preview in this new video, which showcases recent construction progress at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
"Chewie, we're home." Han Solo
A surprise announcement came at the D23 Expo in the summer of 2017 sharing that in addition to Star Wars Land in Walt Disney World they are working on a brand new Star Wars-themed immersive hotel. The new hotel will be located right next door to the new Star Wars Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios and will even hook into the new land with experiences and the same ability to earn Galactic Credits through your adventures.
Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek had this to say about this immersive hotel experience:
From the second you arrive, you will become a part of a Star Wars story! You'll immediately become a citizen of the galaxy and experience all that entails, including dressing up in the proper attire. Once you leave Earth, you will discover a starship alive with characters, stories, and adventures that unfold all around you. It is 100% immersive, and the story will touch every single minute of your day, and it will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits.
Guests can choose certain lengths of stay and enjoy a specific story line for that entire time period that will fully immerse them into the Star Wars universe. Not many details have been released about the new hotel yet, but I sure am excited about this potentially game changing new experience. If the new Star Wars Land hotel is successful I would expect that Disney would replicate the experience in other locations for Star Wars and with other character franchises.
"Do. Or do not. There is no try." Yoda
The Play Disney Parks app will be a central piece to helping guests feel the reality of being the interactive village of Black Spire Outpost in Batuu. The app will allow guests to translate the language of Aurebesh, a galactic language in the Star Wars universe, and find hidden crates and containers, play in-queue games, message characters, and participate in land specific missions. The four tools in the Star Wars app are called Hack, Scan, Translate and Tune.
Guests will also be able to accept jobs from the 'job board' inside the app. These variety of jobs (which are truly just games) will vary in time to complete and all encourage you to explore the land.
There will be a main game that is the center of the app that allows people to side with the Resistance or the First Order and then they can compete with others in the area to acquire land.
Everything you do on the app will save to your profile so you can keep building on it with each visit! Your actions will define your true allegiance as either Resistance, First Order, or Scoundrel.
Guests will be able to use the app to interact with the elements in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge like droids, ships, media screens, door panels, antenna arrays and even drinking fountains according to the Disney Parks blog. Don't worry- no wifi is needed!
Yes, you read right! Star War: Galaxy's Edge is getting its own comic! The series is written by Ethan Sacks, author of a tale of Jedi Master, Mace Windu, in the Star Wars: Age of Republicseries. The series will be illustrated by Will Sliney, who penciled the comic adaptation for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Cover art will be created by Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm artists.
This comic will tie into the new land opening at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The comic releases in April and will feature the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu as pirates, smugglers, merchants, and wanderers travel to sell wares or settle scores.
This five-issue miniseries will feature the infamous Dok-Ondar, the Ithorian collector of rare antiquities, the First Order as they tangle with the Outer Rim smugglers, and a possible appearance from Han Solo and Chewbecca. In terms of the Star Wars cannon, Dok-Ondar was first mentioned in Solo: A Star Wars Story when Qi'ra asks if he's being 'well attended to' when they're on the First Light- the yacht operated by Crimson Dawn leader Dryden Vos while Vos met with Tobias and Han Solo. He is a character that is hinted at making appearances in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge so this comic is setting the stage for fans to become familiar with this new character.
The comic will also feature some Han Solo and Chewbecca smuggling history- according to the description on the Star Wars website!
Check out the sneak peak for the cover art below:
For folks waiting for news about Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge- picking up this comic is a good idea! According to Ethan Sacks,
Our series will give fans the chance to visit Black Spire Outpost months ahead of voyaging to Batuu in person. Armed with top-secret sketches and information from Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm, we are keeping this authentic to the spirit of this rich new setting. I'd tell you more, but I already have the death sentence on 12 systems.

So, let's do this by morning and by evening. Morning first.
|This screenshot doesn't link, go here for the links
Stink! - Is by a dad trying to figure out the chemicals in his kid's pajamas. You'll be one of the first to see this. 11:45am at the SNOW GOOSE
STINK! opens in New York on Black Friday November 27th & Los Angeles on December 4. from NetReturn Entertainment on Vimeo.
A Courtship - documentary about an evangelical Christian who wants an arranged marriage. 1pm AK EX Large
Shorts - Real Life - If you haven't seen a shorts program, go see these, there are some gems in here. And if you don't like one, then the next one comes up quickly. But the shorts I've seen have all be worth watching. 2pm Snow Goose (some are in competition)
Under Construction - This is the movie to see if you want more information on the people Trump wants to ban from the US. 3pm AK EX Large
"Muslim woman Roya struggling to find herself in the sprawl of urban Bangladesh. Roya performs her last show playing 'Nandini'—the epitome of Bengali womanhood, the central character of Rabindranath Tagore's play 'Red Oleanders.' She delves into a psychological journey and battles to reconstruct 'Nandini.' Roya finds herself under-construction—traveling alone to exert her own desires, wishes and ambitions."
From This Day Forward - Another interesting documentary of political relevance as conservatives try to repeal Anchorage's new civil rights protections for the LGBT community. This film is made by the daughter of a man who told his family when the kids were young, that he was really a woman. It was difficult for the family, and the now adult daughter goes back home as a filmmaker to document their story. Well done. The filmmaker was here for the Tuesday night showing. 3pm AK EX Large
Very, Semi-Serious - A doc on cartoons in the New Yorker. 4pm Snow Goose
OK, this gets you to about 4:30. I'll post the rest of the late afternoon and evening soon.

The venue for the Copa del Rey final between FC Barcelona and Athletic Club on May 30th, will be decided at a meeting at the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on March 25th.
At present, the Bernabéu, Calderón and Montjuïc are ruled out as options for various reasons with Mestalla and La Cartuja in Sevilla being the possible candidates. Barça prefer Valencia's Mestalla whilst Bilbao opt for Seville although there are doubts about the state of the pitch at the Olympic Stadium in the Andalusian city.
Given a choice though, both clubs would prefer to play the final at the Bernabéu, hwever, Real Madrid have refused to hand over their stadium for the showpiece event.

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 3
At Salt River Fields on Tuesday
Hits: With an opening following Casey Blake's release, Jordan Pacheco showed improvement defensively after a two-error game Monday. … Eric Young Jr. continues pushing for a roster spot. He delivered two hits and played both left and center field. The Rockies have not decided if they are keeping four or five outfielders. If four, Tyler Colvin is front-runner. If five, Eric Young Jr. firmly in mix. … Lefty Rex Brothers continued his solid spring with a scoreless eighth inning. … Marco Scutaro made two diving plays to his right at second base. … Guillermo Moscoso, still trying to make the rotation, allowed two earned runs in 4 2/3 innings on 79 pitches in a minor-league game.

Breadcrumb #221
Entry 2:
The thing about the ocean is I use it like a mirror. Not a mirror mirror on the wall kind of situation but a second soul. Yes, mirrors are like that. Read a fucking book.
What else…I put parts of myself in them for safekeeping. I use them as doors.
People don't do that anymore. They don't use mirrors the way they should. The ocean, I mean. Think about it—not spread over all the deepest deep of the world, but tall. On end. Think about the ocean standing upward on the horizon. Opening, like a door. A mirror, I mean. Think about passing through.
We're all water. The earth is mostly water. Frozen water, sky water, sea water, mirrors. Dry land is a joke. Just like dinosaurs or the ice age. Please, you've seen a wooly mammoth and thought the same thing I have. Right, ok. Like that ever existed.
Lately I've been writing at the mirror (I mean, the ocean). It's hard but not impossible. I press my cheek or forehead against the surface and then push at the pad of paper till something comes out. I go diving. Not for pearls or anything. Not for anything that anyone would want. The left side of my face is beautiful at four o'clock in the afternoon. That orange and pink light? God, it purifies me. Smoothes me right out. The shadows round my eyes get deeper and darker and just a little lavender, till I look like one of those natural but not natural beauties with horse eyes and lips that everyone wants to eat. My skin is just golden, lips like goddamn petals. Goddamn.
I am beautiful. Not fuckable—beautiful.
Mostly the left side of my face. The left side of my chin is just heaven. The way it slopes up to my eyes and cheeks and the curved drop of my nose. I'm beautiful in the mirror. Not a great way to get writing done though.
The book is coming. No one is asking anymore, which is a good sign, because I know I'll never get anything done unless I can be a dark horse about it. I like to come up from behind. I like to show up at my own funeral. I like it when they think I've already failed.
Note: water was calm today. Couldn't see myself in the mirror.
Entry 3:
I want to ask how anyone gets anything done. I want to ask my mother, I want to ask my sisters, I want to ask and ask till my face turns blue and my tongue shrivels up, turns dead black.
I believe that names are promises. They must be, right? They must mean something. Even nothing means something.
The new medication breaks me up like this.
I think one thing:
How come the tides move like that against our boat ? How come the water is so gentle with me and so rough with my sisters? How come the sky and the waves in that order? How come everyone else is tethered? I'm aching for something but everyone just says shut up close your meat hole put a stopper in it again with the tears and the threats please come on we've heard it all before. Every door, closed.
And then the pill patrol comes in BOOM. Comes in CLAP CLAP CLAP. Break it up, break it up you crazy kids. You band of ruffians. You ragamuffins.
I hope that Molly makes green salad and fried chicken for lunch. I hope that Molly loves me even without her paycheck. Does she have children? Is Molly even her real name? Am I living The Little Princess out loud right now without realizing it? Maybe your house only feels grand when it's not really yours. I hope that Molly loves me, god, I hope that somebody loves me, Jesus I'll find the balls to give up if its any other way, man, I'll start looking a pine boxes and picking out plots between the stone hills if you know what I mean. Shut up, we both know I'll go out burning on the open water. Start practicing your archery, asshole.
CRASH. Bang. Ceasefire.
At the end of the day I have to slip through my notebooks to keep track of what my brain tried to string together. At the end of the day I have to say prayers and burn incense, otherwise my mother will get incensed and I'll get burned by proximity. It's a tricky fire to stoke, but one that I'm familial with. Imagine that every day. Imagine trying to put one foot after the other in the sand while the tide stinks and laughs at you and then comes for you with its tongue. I have a relationship with the Atlantic. I wouldn't call it good or bad. I would call it the ocean.
Benjamin plays the piano soft and slow for me. He isn't sad like the other boys. He isn't trying to prove anything. I know because he doesn't use cologne. He's thoughtful and wears his hair in a ponytail. He's sweet and knows that polo shirts don't look good on anyone. He is the north star of my life. I know because every day I open my notebooks and there he is. Page after page of Benjamin. Benjamin on the ivories. Benjamin and the cats on the porch. Benjamin lugging water or carrying things up the stairs. Benjamin shucking corn and shelling peas. Benjamin going to the bathroom. Ok, well, that one is just a drawing of the bathroom door. But I know I meant to say that Benjamin is inside. I like when things are behind doors. I like watching and knowing and supposing. My whole life is about supposing. I Nancy Drew my life every day, why do you think I keep these journals? I've got to girl detective my way out. I've got to figure out the center of the maze. I'm not just another numbskull.
I don't think I was ever a child. My arms and legs have always been just the right size, and none of my teeth ever fell out because I'm not careless like the others. I keep track of things. I make lists. I am a national treasure.
Benjamin lives at my house for one reason or another. For the same reason Molly does, I think. I pretend that it's love he's here for, but that may not be true. And anyway, it may be love but not from the right person. Like it would matter coming from anyone else. Whatever. I won't say either way. I'm not a masochist. The way he plays the piano makes me want to fuck everything.
I don't think that writers are supposed to be happy. I think that they are supposed to be alone.

Working to reverse the trend towards illiteracy and its negative impact on society
There is a great deal of research showing that children who are exposed to books at a young age go on to live better lives in a wide variety of ways. The data suggest a strong connection between reading skills/activity and academic, work, economic, relationship, and other successes in life. A recent study by the National Endowment for the Arts concluded that, "[the] decline in reading among teenage and adult Americans… [has had] demonstrable social, economic, cultural, and civic implications." Simply put, we need to develop a love for reading in our children and adults, and today's guests are working to do just that. Judy Hijikata is the Communications Director at The Reading Connection, and Kim Oates in one of their Read-Aloud volunteers. Honored by a number of organizations as one of the best small charities in Washington, DC, The Reading Connection helps at-risk children improve their odds of success by helping them develop a love of reading.
While we should justifiably be concerned with providing things like food, medicine, and shelter to families in need, developing good reading skills in these families can be as critically important to their future.
As usual, the volunteer gets more out of the experience than the people they serve.
Some U.S. statistics from the Literacy Project Foundation (http://literacyprojectfoundation.org/community/statistics/):
- 50% of adults cannot read a book written at an eighth grade level.
- Illiteracy costs American taxpayers an estimated $20 billion each year.
- 3 out of 5 people in American prisons can't read.
- 3 out of 4 people on welfare can't read.
- School dropouts cost our nation $240 billion in social service expenditures and lost tax revenues.

In Memory of David Enthoven
David served as a trustee from 2006-2016 . His vision, guidance, laughter and love are deeply missed. His support for Sculpt the Future was unwavering from our inception till he sadly passed away last year on August 11th. David had a unique ability to not only offer support to those who needed his help, but he was always able to spot those who didn't even know they needed help and he would always gently and humbly offer his wisdom and experience with no expectations. He summed up unlocking human potential and made us all better and wiser people for that. Thank you David for leaving a special mark on sculpting and supporting our foundation and our trustees.

34: Trade Tech Creative Writers | Scary Things By Reed Morris Visually enticed by the vast universe We stare until we take death's final curse. Down into the ground, we vanish Only underground, there's no perish. Passing days slowly, but not slow enough Going crazy, in this world so rough. Seeping through the crevice to hell below Down the devil's gullet we go. Falling into the fire's spite Suddenly waking to the morning light. Safe and sound, you're in your bed The scariest place, is in your head. | The Four Seasons By Reed Morris The leaves of the oaks, all orange, brown, and crisp sink to the ground, with a spiraling twist. The snow from the sky is water yet dry, cold as a tundra, but burns your heart bright. The petals of plants, and things such as these, make all sorts of scenes, like beautiful dreams. And last but not least, from seas come a mist, a cool gentle breeze, make life seem like bliss.
35: Sunday Bloody Sunday By Julian Guzman (Inspired by Tolerance Project) | Bodies strewn across this dead-end street Shards of glass upon the children's feet And you hear the people cry As a part of their own heart has died Sunday bloody Sunday (2x) As if a war is going on, Inside of each and everyone When the soul begins to burn For their loved ones they can only yearn. Sunday bloody Sunday (2x) Over there you see a boy And over there you see a girl And both of them are tasting death As they took in their last breath They didn't get the chance to live Both their lives they had to give And they would never get that chance Both were killed at just a glance Sunday Bloody Sunday (4x) And when you take in all this pain Knowing they've all died in vain What's the point you ask yourself?

MySmilePlan is the dental payment plan that improves your cash flow by paying you upfront rather than over time. And as we never charge your patients interest - ever, you maintain the patient goodwill you have worked so hard to attain. Your patients can have the dental treatment they need now and comfortably pay for it over 3, 9 or 15 months without ever being charged an exorbitant interest rate.
To become an Approved Provider, please complete our online registration form.
If you have more than one practice, be sure to complete the form with details of each of the practices you wish to register.
At MySmilePlan, we know being a reputable brand benefits not only us but also those practitioners we are working with. That's why we take the performance of our Approved Providers very seriously.
By monitoring the output of our provider practices and their success rate with MySmilePlan, not only can we continue to improve our offering, we can also ensure we uphold a quality framework and standard of our approved practices.
The monitoring process also allows us to acknowledge and reward our premium providers through our loyalty program.
Approved Providers benefit from our national advertising as it drives new patients who are actively seeking out dentists offering MySmilePlan to our website and subsequently directly to your business.
The loyalty program we have installed offers practices who consistently use MySmilePlan the opportunity to increase your status through a tiering system. Higher tiered practices are afforded priority listing in the search results and therefore a greater number of new patients.
Learn more about our current advertising and listen to our radio ad here.
Following approval of a patient for MySmilePlan and payment of their 20% deposit, you receive payment the following business day, meaning your cash flow is not affected.
MySmilePlan has three plans available. For all treatment plans between $100 to $500, you pay 2% (ex GST) of the total plan cost, for treatments between $501 to $2,000 you pay 6% (ex GST) of the total plan cost and for treatments between $2001 to $9,000, you pay 9% (ex GST) of the total plan cost.
No, there are not.
MySmilePlan does not charge a monthly subscription fee, a per plan administration fee or any other fees to the practitioner.
All you need to do is enter your patient's driver's license, nominated Visa or MasterCard and contact details. The system will automatically return an 'approved' or 'denied' response. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
The credit check is automatically generated by MySmilePlan's online system based on a scoring algorithm and is no indication of financial status. Your staff cannot see and do not have access to the applicant's credit history. You can assure your patient's the security of their data is safe.
The online credit check process is simple and requires minimal staff training. As the credit check is not income tested, no payslips are necessary.
An approval or denial is not an indication of their current financial status, rather the scoring system is based on any current loans or any flagged indiscretions in their history. It's a similar credit check to what is performed when you apply for a mobile phone with a telco.
If an applicant has not been approved, it simply means they have scored below the threshold.
Register your interest via our online registration form and one of our friendly team will be in contact with you shortly.
All general, cosmetic, orthodontic and specialist dental care can be processed through MySmilePlan. The treatment plan total must not exceed $9,000.
Your patients pay a 20% deposit along with a one off establishment fee of $39 (except with the 3 month plan). A $3 credit card processing fee will also be charged with each fortnightly payment, including when the deposit is paid.
Late payments will be subject to an additional $9.50 charge.
Yes. You'll be paid the full cost of the treatment plan, minus the 2%, 6% and 9% fee the next business day.
If the patient defaults on the loan, it will be a risk that we shoulder and up to us to recover the balance.
Technical support is provided via our payment processing partner OpenPay who are available on 1300 168 359.
They can assist you with the application processing questions and any technical issues.

Have a Healthy Sandwich
A trip to the sandwich shop is a quick and easy option for family mealtime. When you are looking to make healthy choices, remember it's okay to make requests. Here are a few ideas:
- Ask for the sandwich spread on the side or apply it yourself if the shop offers condiment packets.
- To cut back on the calories and fat, request low-fat, part-skim mozzarella or no cheese.
- Instead of chips, ask for a piece of fruit or a salad. The extra fiber will fill you up so you will eat less.
- Choose lean cuts of beef, ham, chicken or turkey for your sandwich.
- Load up your sandwich with vegetables, or try a vegetarian option.
- Choose whole-wheat bread or a whole-grain wrap instead of white bread.

I've made these 3 lovely dolls for JW's sisters that helped out on her wedding day. JW wanted me to personalize the dolls according to their favorite colors and hairstyles! She loves them a lot. Hope her sisters too….
I was trying to create a Chinese New Year mood for this shot, because we are still celebrating Chinese New Year… LOL
Sister 1: JW wanted a hair-band for her. I was using the Gold Spark yarn I got from Knotty Bicsie.
Sister 2: She loves Pink and White and she will like to have a halo of flowers on her head…. :)
Sister 3: Is my favorite! She has curly hair… I really like to do curly hair dolls, they look so cute! Then her favorite color is purple, so I added 2 purple ribbons at the side to make her cuter!!!

This week, a reader asks the Property Poser panel for help with an issue pertaining to the process of transferring a property.
The reader writes that she successfully sold her property and the transfer process was handled by Attorney A. She then made a successful offer to purchase on another property and Attorney B was appointed to deal with that transfer.
Although not required by the agreement, the reader has already made two deposits to Attorney B, representing the difference between the purchase price and the bond for which she must apply. This amount represents more than two thirds of the purchase price.
It now transpires that Attorney B is not dealing with the transaction with the anticipated and necessary precision, has failed to provide update reports or acknowledge the monies received, and misrepresents the actions already taken.
For example, more than two months after it was alleged that a rates and tax clearance had been requested, it turns out that the local council has no record of such a request.
Attorney B is not communicating with the reader when asked for a status report, and also ignores such requests put to him by Attorney A.
The reader is concerned that the funds she has already deposited are not earning any interest as the purchase agreement does not make provision for this.
In addition, should the transfer not be finalised by the time the reader has to vacate her existing property, she will either have to incur occupational rental or move to another temporary residence, thus incurring additional moving expenses.
She would like to know what her remedies are as Attorney B is acting on behalf of the seller and whether she has a claim for breach of contract.
Strictly speaking, there is no breach of contract by the seller, says Charlotte Vermaak from Chas Everitt in Port Elizabeth.
"This is unless, for some reason, the seller has instructed the conveyancing attorney to delay the progress of the transfer."
Nevertheless, the seller has a contractual obligation to pass transfer to the reader as soon as possible, says Vermaak.
"If the seller has given the conveyancing mandate to Attorney B, then the seller is obliged to ensure that it is executed."
If Attorney B also ignores the seller's enquiries, then the seller must take the necessary steps to withdraw his or her mandate and instruct another conveyancer to complete the transfer process, says Vermaak.
Aside from his or her contractual obligations, the conveyancer also has a duty to communicate regularly with both parties and inform them of any issues that could delay the process, says Rian du Toit from DTS Attorneys in PE.
"Because all conveyancers are subject to the disciplinary powers of the law society of the province in which they practice, a complaint could be lodged with the relevant authority, which would then investigate the matter."
If the conveyancer has been negligent and the purchaser or seller has suffered any loss as a result, he or she may have a claim against the conveyancer for the amount of the loss, says Du Toit.

We hope that the information below will provide a better understanding of the different conditions and their treatment.
What are sarcomas?
Sarcomas are malignant tumours that arise from cells that make up connective tissue (bone, cartilage, blood vessels, muscle, fatty tissue, nerves), and can develop at any site in the body.
There are many different types of sarcoma, but it is helpful to think of them as either soft tissue sarcomas or bone sarcomas. Sarcomas are rare cancers and are only the 21st most common cancer. A GP can expect to see only one or two sarcomas in an entire career. There are approximately 2000 soft tissue sarcomas and 400 bone sarcomas diagnosed each year in the UK.
What are soft-tissue sarcomas?
Soft Tissue Sarcomas account for about 1% of all malignant tumours. The cause of these tumours is not known although they may be associated with previous radiotherapy, some toxins and very rarely may be hereditary.
They can affect any age group, although are more common in the middle-aged and elderly, and less common in younger age groups. Nearly 60% of soft tissue sarcomas arise in the arms or legs, 20% in the trunk, 5% in the head and neck, and 15-20% in the abdomen or internal organs. The signs and symptoms of sarcomas vary according to where they develop, but often the first sign is of a lump in an arm or leg.
What are Bone Sarcomas?
Bone Sarcomas are very rare, accounting for 0.2% of all malignant tumours. They are commonest in children, teenagers and young adults, accounting for 4% of all malignancy in children up to 14 years, although much less commonly they can occur in older age groups.
The cause of bone sarcomas is not known, although they may be associated with underlying bone diseases, previous radiotherapy, and very rarely may be hereditary. The commonest types of bone sarcoma are osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma and spindle cell sarcoma. They can arise in any bone of the body, although are most common in the limbs and pelvis. Initial symptoms usually include pain, tenderness and swelling of the affected bone, or an unexpected fracture.
How are sarcomas treated?
Bone Sarcomas are particularly aggressive tumours that are usually treated with a combination of surgery and long courses of chemotherapy.
Modern surgery aims to remove the primary tumour, while at the same time preserving the limb function (or other body part) wherever possible. This is usually done by replacing the bone with a metal prosthesis. Radiotherapy is sometimes used after surgery, or instead of surgery if an operation is not possible.
What is Osteosarcoma?
Also called Osteogenic sarcoma this is the most common type of primary bone cancer.
In the UK, nearly a third of all primary bone cancers are osteosarcomas – approximately 150 people are diagnosed each year. Although it can occur at any age, osteosarcoma is most common in males. Any bone in the body can be affected but the most common sites are the upper arm (humerus) or the legs, particularly the lower thigh (femur) and the upper shin bone (tibia).Kelly was a 15 year old, sporty teenager, when she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in her shinbone.
What is Ewing's sarcoma?
Ewing's sarcoma is named after the surgeon who first described it.
Again, this type of bone cancer is more common in young people than adults. Any bone can be affected, but the pelvis, thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia) are the most common places for it to occur. Like ostosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma is slightly more common in males than females. It is also possible to get a Ewing's sarcoma in the soft tissues of the body. This is known as extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma.
What is Chondrosarcoma
This is a cancer that starts in cartilage cells although it can grow within a bone or on its surface.
It is most commonly found in middle-aged adults. Chondrosarcoma is usually a slow-growing tumour. The most common sites are the pelvis, shoulder blade (scapula), ribs and the upper part of the arms (humerus) and legs (femur).
What is Chordoma?
This is an extremely rare cancer which starts in the bones of the spine, either in the sacrum (the bottom of the spine) or the neck.
Chordomas are more common in men, and can occur at any age, although they are more common in people in their 40's and 50's. They tend to be slow-growing tumours.
What is Spindle Cell Sarcoma?
There are four types of spindle cell sarcoma:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
A very rare bone cancer that occurs in middle-aged adults. Usually found in the arms or legs, especially around the knee joint.
Another very rare bone cancer, most often found in middle aged adults. Most commonly in the thigh bone (femur).
Leiomyosarcoma of the bone is very rare. It can occur in people of any age, but is extremely rare in people under 20 years of age. It occurs slightly more often in men than women, and is more common in the long bones of the body, such as the thigh bone (femur), shin bones (tibia) and bone of the upper arm (humerus).
Undifferentiated sarcoma of the bone
These tumours are made up of primitive cells and it isn't possible to tell what type of normal bone cell they develop from.
What is Angiosarcoma?
This is a rare type of primary bone cancer that occurs more commonly in men.
It can occur in people of any age, but is very rare in people under 20 years of age. Angiosarcomas can affect any bone in the skeleton. They can affect more than one bone at the same time, or develop in more than one place in a singe bone.

October 12, 2010
- Todd Jones, U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota and Chair of the Attorney General's Advisory Committee of U.S. Attorneys has indicated that one of the U.S. Department of Justice's top priorities for the second half of President Obama's term will be the prosecution of environmental crimes.
Environmental crimes is listed along with Internet crimes, national security, civil rights and health care fraud as key areas where federal prosecutors across the country will be focusing their efforts and resources. For more information related to this story please see this link to Main Justice website at: http://www.mainjustice.com/2010/10/09/top-u-s-attorney-hints-at-doj-priorities-next-year/. According to the article, Jones indicated that the U.S. Attorneys will be shifting from "a reactive to a proactive mode." With regard to the new focus on environmental matters, Jones noted in November, 2010 U.S. Attorneys from across the country will be meeting at the U.S. Attorneys Conference with officials from a number of federal agencies to increase their knowledge of environmental crimes in light of matters like the BP oil spill this past summer.
U.S. Attorney Offices around the country have hired full time criminal investigators who assist federal prosecutors in verifying complaints, collaborating with state and local agencies and deciding what specific environmental cases should be investigated and charged out as criminal matters.
Not every environmental violation will result in a criminal charge. In fact, environmental violations are typically resolved through administrative or civil proceedings. However, if the authorities determine that a violator knowingly committed a violation, a criminal charge may follow. Federal environmental laws, including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act and other federal laws, each contain provisions that provide for tough criminal sanctions – including stiff fines and jail time – for persons convicted of criminal acts.
Business owners and others who are subject to environmental regulations would be well advised to pay attention to this shift in the focus of the Department of Justice and its U.S. Attorneys' Offices. The federal government has substantial financial and technical resources that it can bring to bear in investigating and prosecuting environmental crimes cases. Prosecutors can file charges against corporations as well as individuals under the responsible corporate officer doctrine. If authorities develop probable cause that an environmental crime may have occurred, they may seek a search warrant authorizing federal agents to enter upon private property, collect samples, conduct tests, interview employees and otherwise develop evidence that may substantiate allegations of alleged wrongdoing.
Given the wide ranging power and authority that rests with federal officials, what should a business owner do to minimize his or her potential liability?
Now is the time to comprehensively review plant operations and waste handling practices to ensure that a business is operating in compliance with the law. Because environmental regulations and statutes are complex, it is relatively easy for even well-managed operations to inadvertently slip up and fall out of compliance. Many of our clients ask the environmental attorneys at Hessian & McKasy's Environmental Law Attorney Practice Group to assist by conducting audits of the compliance status of their business operations. We work with qualified consultants to conduct audits under attorney-client privilege. Taking these types of proactive measures can help businesses and managers reduce their liability concerns.
When an audit reveals conditions exist that may constitute violations we help clients develop plans for addressing these matters. A company that discovers violations may be able to avail itself of audit protections. In these cases it is possible to mitigate, substantially limit and occasionally avoid civil penalties.
The views contained within this entry and on this website are my own and do not constitute those of Hessian & McKasy, a Professional Association.

Just above Menaggio lies the Val Sanagra Park, a large area rich with flora and fauna where lots of walks can be done.
From Menaggio take the road to Lugano, then, after three bends, take the first right to Loveno. After 500m turn left direction Centro Sportivo, Villa Vigoni. At the church of Loveno turn left and after 300m you can reach Piamuro where you can park the car.
An easy walk, ideal with children, is the one along the river Sanagra. The walk takes about 40 minutes and is quite flat. From Piamuro follow the trail in the direction of Mulino della Valle. Don't cross the bridge, but follow the path on the right side of the river, past the ancient brick-furnace Galli, to La Chioderia, a trout farm with a typical inn. Apart from the trout that swim around in their basins many other animals live at the farm such as donkeys, sheep, geese, goats and chicken.
