PRI and its two public venues for education, the Museum of the Earth and the Cayuga Nature Center, offer many ways for individuals to get involved in order to support and continue the mission:
Your donation—whether its $10 or $1,000—directly supports public educational programs, exhibits, collections, and research.
You can become a member! Our Membership packages are designed to meet your needs whether you are a local family seeking free year-round admission to the Museum of the Earth and/or the Cayuga Nature Center or a scientist seeking reduced bench fees and discounts on scientific research publications.
Volunteer and internship opportunities are available in a dynamic and wide range of departments. In the past, PRI and the Museum have worked with students from surrounding schools in the area like Cornell University, Ithaca College, and TC3.
One way to get involved is through our Adopt a Bone project in which one can "adopt" a bone of the 14,500 year old Hyde Park Mastodon. These opportunities of support range from $25 to $20,000.
Another adoption program is our popular Adopt a Tile. Barbara Page's Rock of Ages/Sands of Time, a permanent mural in the Museum, consists of 544 tiles. With a gift of $1,000, you can honor family, friends, and loved ones and have honorees' names displayed in the Museum lobby. Honorees also receive a special print of their tile from the artist.
Consider serving on our Community Advisory Board. The CAB identifies ways in which PRI and the Museum can better serve and communicate to Ithaca and surrounding communities. The CAB gives their general insight on how to facilitate the education of Earth science to the general public.
However you choose to participate—THANK YOU for your support!

Patrons exposed to chlorine gas at amusement park
MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) — Some patrons at a western Michigan amusement park have been hosed down after being exposed to chlorine gas near a wave pool.
Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler tells The Muskegon Chronicle that the gas was created Friday afternoon by the release of a combination of chemicals at Michigan's Adventure.
Twenty-seven people were being received at two area hospitals. At least 25 people were showered off Friday afternoon in the park's parking lot. A hazardous materials response team, paramedics and firefighters were called to the park.
WJRW-AM reports that two hospitals went on lockdown earlier due to the risk of chlorine exposure.
Michigan's Adventure, north of Grand Rapids in Muskegon, is the state's largest amusement and water park.

QUINCY, Mass. (courtesy Eastern Nazarene College sports information) — The Brandeis University women's basketball team started the game off with a 13-2 run over the first six minutes of play to set the tone for what ended up being a 67-41 Judges victory over host Eastern Nazarene College on Monday night. Brandeis junior Morgan Kendrew (Cotuit, Mass./Barnstable) scored 12 points in the first half, outscoring the entire Lion squad, as the Judges established a 36-11 halftime lead.
The Lady Lions came out with high energy and fast pace in the second half which allowed them to chip away at the Brandeis lead. ENC shot 63 percent from behind the arc (5-8) in the second half to narrow the lead midway through the second half. In the midst of the Lions' scoring, Brandeis remained calm and consistent and was able to maintain their hold on the game and coast to a 26-point win.
The Judges were led by Kendrew who finished the game with 16 points. Senior forward Amber Strodthoff (DePere, Wis./DePere) and junior guard Kelly Ethier (Springfield, Mass./Minnechaig Regional) each scored 8 points as 11 Brandeis players registered points in the contest. Rookie Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomeraug) came off the bench to lead the team with 7 rebounds, a career-best.
For the Lady Lions, freshman Julianne Atwater and sophomore Ace Carradine scored 9 points apiece to lead the team. Carradine also dished out a game high 4 assists. Sophomore post player Shardae Brown led the game with 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Katie Warren added 8 points.
The win brings the Judges to 6-3 on the season while the loss drops ENC to 1-9. Both teams will break for final exams before jumping back into action at the end of the month. Brandeis will play their next game on December 31st at home against Husson while the Lady Lions will travel to Connecticut College on January 6th.

Developers of the White Stallion Energy Center, a coal plant slated for construction in Matagorda County, have officially thrown in the towel, the latest in a string of coal projects that have fallen victim to market forces.
White Stallion's backers, as late as the middle of last year, were trying to blame its travails on the Environmental Protection Agency, but what really hobbled the project was weak natural gas prices.
As I noted in an earlier column:
In Texas, the wholesale price for electricity is essentially tied to natural gas under the state's deregulation law. That used to mean coal plants were a license to print money, because coal cost much less than gas as a generating fuel. So coal-fired generators could produce power at a lower cost and sell it into the wholesale market at the higher gas price.
That's no longer the case. As natural gas prices have fallen, the market economics have flipped. It's now cheaper to run natural gas-fired plants than coal, leaving companies like White Stallion on the wrong side of the market.
White Stallion Chief Operating Officer Randy Bird acknowledged the realities in announcing the project's demise, saying that "the presently low price of natural gas has made the price of electricity from a new coal-fired generator uncompetitive at this time."
While White Stallion also ran afoul of EPA rules for mercury releases, toxic pollutants and carbon emissions, the far bigger problem is the failure of the deregulated electricity market to encourage the development of new generating capacity.
With the state facing a shortage of new generation, developers are unable to secure the financing they need because of the market's structure. White Stallion had the additional problem of being on the wrong side of the price curve for fuel.
An idea that may have looked smart five years ago had simply become uneconomic today thanks to the glut of natural gas unleashed by the hydraulic fracturing boom.

Meet Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Other Great Masters at the WAG's Family Sunday
It's an opportunity of a lifetime! Bring your family and friends to the WAG to Mingle with the Masters Family Sunday on June 2 from 1:30- 4pm. Explore the spectacular work of over 100 internationally celebrated artists including Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh, and Warhol! Admission is $20 per family (up to 2 adult and 4 children).
Focusing on the masterpieces illuminating the WAG during the 100 Masters: Only in Canada exhibition, this all-ages Sunday afternoon features art-making workshops, theatrical performances, family audio tours of the exhibition, and an fun interactive Family Zone featuring a "masterful" photo booth.
"The galleries are filled with energy during Family Sundays," says Sophie Begin, Youth Programs Co-ordinator, who is anticipating 1000 attendees at the June 2 event. "The families can tour the show on their own thanks to the audio tours, or they can join in with the games, music, and activities we have going on. We get a wide range of families attending our Family Sundays. A lot of grandparents with their grandchildren, people from different ethnic communities in the city. Art is something you can access whatever your language or age."
At the last Family Sunday event for Creations and Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art, Begin was moved by the afternoon's potential to connect families and forge new friendships. "I was hanging out in the lobby, watching the kids play together, and I was approached by one family who had just arrived in Winnipeg with their adopted Inuit son. It was their first time connecting with other Inuit family in the city and they were thrilled to do it in such an artistic setting."
Begin has also seen how children approach "high art" without fear or preconceptions. "The kids react very well to the art workshops. It's actually quite inspiring to see them studying works in the galleries, then bring their observations to their own paintings and drawings while their parents watch."
More information is available at wag.ca/learn.
Family Sunday is generously sponsored by Astral Radio (Virgin 103.1). BMO is the presenting sponsor for 100 Masters: Only in Canada.

Shoptalk/Commentary: Think Integration, Not Separation
By: Gary Randazzo
Having come from the world of media management, I have a great interest in how media companies are coping with new technologies and developing a business model that creates value and profits.
As I look at the media responses to new Internet-based alternatives, I find that media respond to new technologies in a silo fashion. That is, they tend to create products that stand by themselves but can be bundled.
It seems that a more studied, strategic approach to new product development is in order.
Consider the classified section of the newspaper. The Internet's ability to allow consumers to search quickly to find products that match their needs has made the newspaper-classified section seemingly obsolete. Specialized search engines quickly decimated the merchandise, employment, auto, and real estate listings.
Over the past few years there have been new versions of Internet classified search engines. In fact, so many have been introduced it is difficult for advertisers to decide which to use.
So why didn't newspapers create the Internet alternative? The simple answer is they tried. They developed websites that offered the same attributes as the competition, but the innovators on the Internet had already made headway in attracting an audience, a large number of whom were not newspaper readers.
The newspapers tried to preserve their successful model and simultaneously attract a new audience — a response that usually involved the creation of a website that operated separately from the printed edition's organizational structure. The results have not been encouraging. Newspapers continue to be under financial pressure as their audiences and ad revenues shrink.
I have long been an advocate of melding Internet operations with the newspaper organization model as opposed to creating a separate organization to operate the newspapers' websites. If the newspapers' classified department managed the websites' classified revenue goals, the marketing solutions would have been different.
I would think that under this scenario, products would have been developed that would have integrated the strengths of both products and built the audiences of both simultaneously. For example, newspaper websites could offer their classified customers, for a small fee, an opportunity to place a two- or three-line ad in the printed and digital editions of the newspaper, directing the reader to the website. This would provide a means of preserving the classified section in the newspaper plus a means of driving traffic to the newspaper website. This scenario provides a symbiotic relationship between the newspapers' websites and their printed and digital editions.
Similarly, if the newspaper advertising department were responsible for creating ad revenues for the newspapers' digital edition and website, then the marketing solutions would be different than if the website competes against the newspaper for ad revenues.
Preprints, for example, are a strong source of revenue for newspapers, but advertisers are concerned about falling circulation penetration. Combining a strategy that allows an index of preprints to be added to the digital edition and website provides some opportunities to expand revenues and satisfy advertisers' needs to improve their preprint ROI. Internet versions of preprints could have video capabilities allowing advertisers the ability to expand their sales pitch.
Preprint advertisers often sell space in their preprints to suppliers that stock their stores. Adding an Internet component with video capabilities would provide a means for advertisers to increase the ROI on their preprint and for their suppliers to increase sales.
Under this scenario the printed newspaper continues to reach its market and drive traffic to the digital edition and website.
It just seems to me the solutions for newspaper survival already exist; it merely requires an organizational structure that allows the strengths of the Internet and the printed product to be combined in a way that benefits readers and advertisers. This is where the newspapers have the advantage — Internet-only operators cannot easily duplicate a newspaper or its franchise. Newspapers, on the other hand, can add digital editions and website capabilities that match any Internet competitor.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Workflow Overview
A. ProQuest uploads deposits of zip files to the content.lib.ua.edu server via ftp into the ftpaccess home directory, and notifies the Head of Cataloging of the upload; s/he then notifies the Metadata Librarian to process them.
B. Metadata Librarian runs the PERL script "moveContent" (File:MoveContentBD.txt) which is located in the scripts directory of her home area on content.lib.ua.edu. This script picks up all zip files sitting in the etd_deposits directory (which corresponds to the ftpaccess home area), identifies the date the files were deposited, and relocates the files into a directory named for this date of deposit (yyyymmdd) in etd_deposits.
C. Metadata Librarian then runs the PERL script "processEtds" (File:ProcessEtds.txt)which is located in her scripts directory. This script will ask which directory to process, and whether the files are for May, December, or September graduation, so it knows when to start the embargoes. It will create a subdirectory in the "working" directory which matches the name of the selected directory. Within this it will create 3 subdirectories: OPEN, PRQ, and CONTENT. OPEN is where it will open the zip directories. PRQ is where it will put the renamed and altered XML for processing. CONTENT is where it will put the renamed content files.
The "processEtds" script performs these tasks:
- extracts from each metadata file the following information:
- title,
- author,
- year the manuscript was completed
- year the degree was awarded
- embargo code (if any)
- calls the InfoTrack.bornDigital mysql database table on libcontent.lib.ua.edu (see Tracking_for_the_long_term for more info) to find the next filenumber to assign and the InfoTrack.lookup table to determine the next persistent URL;
- records the item number assigned, the PURL assigned, the author and title in these tables
- inserts the assigned item number (filename, minus the extension) into a UA_identifier attribute and the assigned PURL into a UA_purl attribute within the DISS_submission field in a copy of the metadata
- places this altered copy of the metadata into an PRQ subdirectory; the copy will be named with the assigned filename followed by ".prq.xml" (thus a correctly named file would be: u0015_0000001_0000023.prq.xml) to indicate this is still ProQuest XML.
- copies all the bitstreams and renames them appropriately, placing them in a CONTENT subdirectory. The primary PDF will be named with the assigned filename followed by ".pdf"; subsidiary files will be numbered sequentially, with a 4-digit left-padded number attached to the assigned filename, followed by the extension. So the first subsidiary file for this file (if a jpeg) would properly be named u0015_0000001_0000023_0001.jpg, and the second (if a text file) would be named u0015_0000001_0000023_0002.txt.
- creates an entry for each record in a tab-delimited xmlList.xml file which contains the following fields:
- assigned filename
- original filename
- author
- title
- directory (created out of zip file name)
- year the manuscript was completed
- year the degree was awarded
- an indicator of the existence of subsidiary files (a count)
- the embargo code
- date item is made available via the web
- the assigned PURL
D. Metadata Librarian works with the deposited content to create valid MODS files meeting our local profile, which include the assigned identifier and PURL, and are named for the assigned identifier with a ".mods.xml" extension.
E. Metadata Librarian uploads the finished MODS and the associated renamed content into a datestamp-titled MODS directory in her home area on libcontent.lib.ua.edu.
F. Metadata Librarian runs the File:Relocate all BD.txt script in her home directory. This places all the content and MODS (which are not under embargo) into the correct directories in Acumen, as well as copying everything to the deposits directory for upload into the storage archive.
G. Metadata Librarian checks the final display and access via Acumen to verify that no problems exist. If any problems are encountered, she contacts the Head of Digital Services and we work out how to fix them. :-)
H. the Head of Digital Services runs a script (/srv/scripts/bornDigital/relocatingBd File:RelocatingBD.txt) which will move the files into the correct subdirectories for long-term storage, linking them into the LOCKSS manifests.
I. Cataloger creates valid MARC files, which reference the included assigned identifier and PURL. Note: This step is for files without embargoes. For more information about files with embargoes, see steps M. and O.)
J. Cataloger will batch upload the MARC to WorldCat, in order to obtain OCLC numbers for the records.
K. Cataloger then submits a batch upload of the MARC records into our catalog system.
L. Cataloger checks the final display and access via the OPAC.
M. The embargo-checking script "File:CheckEmbargo.txt" will check the database on the 21st of each month for embargoes which are due to lift the next month; this script will email the Head of Digital Services and Metadata Librarians with the filename, title, author, and date that the embargo is to lift.
N. Another script, "File:LiftEmbargo.txt" will run on the first of each month, and will copy live anything whose embargo has lifted.
O. Cataloger will upload the no-longer-embargoed-content into WorldCat and then the local OPAC.
P. Should the metadata require remediation, Metadata Librarian will add a recordChangeDate field, and will upload the altered MODS files to libcontent and run File:Relocate all BD.txt. This will move the files to the live web directory (except for those under embargo) and also to a deposits directory for archival storage.
Q. the Head of Digital Services will transfer these into archival storage using the aforementioned script, File:RelocatingBD.txt.
Occasionally, the graduate school contacts the Metadata Librarian to request a take-down, normally combined with an extended embargo period. The Metadata Librarian communicates this to the Head of Digital Services, who:
- locates the item number in the InfoTrack.bornDigital database table
- modifies the dateAvailable field there to reflect the desired release date
- adds a note in the notes field to explain what happened when and why
- verifies the most recent version of metadata (and files) are in the archive
- deletes the item directories in Acumen
- and reports the item number back to the Metadata Librarian, so he/she can modify/remove the catalog record.

illions of people all over the United States were watching television on Sunday night, March 7, 1965, when their programs were interrupted with shocking images of African-American men and women being beaten with billy clubs in a cloud of tear gas. Attempting to march peacefully from the small town of Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, the state capital, to protest a brutal murder and the denial of their constitutional right to vote, six hundred people were attacked by state troopers and mounted deputies dressed in full riot gear. ABC interrupted its broadcast of the movie Judgment at Nuremberg to show the violence, suggesting to many a parallel between the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany and the treatment of blacks in the South. Most viewers had never heard of Selma, but after March 7, they would never forget it.
Eight days after "Bloody Sunday," President Lyndon Johnson made a famous and powerful speech to a joint session of Congress introducing voting rights legislation. He called the events in Selma "a turning point in man's unending search for freedom," comparing them to the Revolutionary War battles of Concord and Lexington. On March 21, more than one thousand people from all over the United States again left Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Selma and set out for Montgomery. This time they were watched over by regular Army and Alabama National Guard units ordered by President Johnson to protect the marchers against further violence. At the successful completion of the march on March 25, Martin Luther King, Jr., addressed a crowd estimated at 25,000 in front of the Alabama State Capitol, quoting the Battle Hymn of the Republic: "His truth is marching on." 1 Many of the same people who had seen the earlier violence saw or heard the speech.
Five months later, on August 6, 1965, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, "generally considered the most successful piece of civil rights legislation ever adopted by the United States Congress." 2
This lesson explores some of the methods the State of Alabama used to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote and how community leaders in Selma worked together with Martin Luther King, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and other national civil rights organizations to remove those restrictions. It discusses Brown Chapel in Selma, where the march began, and the State Capitol Building in Montgomery, where the march reached its triumphant conclusion.Some of the participants in the events of March 1965 are still alive to tell their stories. This lesson is based, in part, on a rich trove of oral histories. It illustrates the importance of the testimony of eyewitnesses to history—as well as some of the difficulties in using this type of evidence.

Morison, who prior to his retirement several months ago was chairman of the board of Foremost-McKesson, Inc., a client of our San Francisco office, made his first trip to China in 1972 Since thai time, both as a director of The National Council for U S -China Trade and as president of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, he has led two trade delegations to the People's Republic of China 3nd par-ticipated in trade talks with Chinese delegations visiting the United States Although Mr. Morison insists that his views represent one man's opinion, we would at least qualify this to say that it is one man's informed opinion. Following is a slightly edited text of an Interview held this spring with Mr Morison President Nixon's visit to China in February 1972 culminated in the Shanghai Communique, which set the principles for the way in which the two nations regard each other and remains the basic document behind the recent U S -China accord Following that, the Chinese issued a few invitations to Americans to attend the Canton Trade Fair being held that spring The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce received an invitation It was the only such organization to be invited, and it sent the head of its international department. At the time of the 1972 fall trade fair the Chinese again sent a special invitation to the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber decided that it should respond with a business representative. 1 was a director of the Chamber at the time and the vice president of the international department, and so I went to China on behalf of the business community of San Francisco I went first to Hong Kong, then to Canton and then up to Peking and was very well received We talked about what it would take to enhance trading relations between China and the United States. That trip was followed by an invitation from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, or CCPIT which performed some of the trade-promotion (unctions for China that our State Department and Commerce Department handled in this country At that lime the Chinese were organized into seven basic trading corporations that did all the buying and all the selling within the product classifications they represented. The CCPIT was the vehicle that promoted contact and relationships between the outside world and the trading corporations. In 1975 the president of CCPIT invited the Chamber of Commerce to organize a trade delegation of senior business execu-tives The delegation was to go to China for high-level but informal talks on establishing the needed mechanisms for the promotion of trade between our two countries At the time China insisted upon a person-to-person approach rather than working through gov-ernmental agencies We put together a rather impressive delegation, some of the top business people from San Francisco I chaired the delegation. We had mostly CEOs (chief executive officers), nine of them from the Hay area. In China we talked informally about alt the issues that the Chinese wanted to talk about and that we wanted to talk about We provided China with input in two important areas •— we were help-ing them to gain a better understanding of the American business 20

Webinar: Better Quality Data Drives Better Quality Reporting - Data Governance
Have you ever heard the phrase "garbage in, garbage out?" This is true, especially in the world of analytics. Reporting and analyses are only as good as the data upon which they are based.
When embarking on business driven initiatives for analytics, the most common pitfalls of these projects are typically in the areas of data integration, data quality and data governance. Data Integration and Governance is no longer seen as a nice to have capability, but a must have foundation for delivering on the promise of competitive business insights.
Attend this webinar to learn how data governance can establish a solid Information Supply Chain across your enterprise, building a foundation for business analytics and optimization, including: data management, content management, integration, warehousing and governance.
These supply chain needs have driven IBM's strategy and investments in this area. Attend this webinar and see how you can make data governance work for your organization.

WALTHAM, Mass.- The top-seeded Brandeis Women's Volleyball team cruised to a 3-0 sweep of the eighth-seeded Albertus Magnus Falcons in their Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) quarterfinals match thanks to a stellar offensive night led by sophomore outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./ Albuquerque Acad.).Brandeis won 25-9, 25-13, 25-12 and improves to 20-13. The Judges advance to the semifinals while the Falcons fall to 12-13.
Brandeis dominated the match from the outset. In the first set, the Judges raced out to a 10-1 advantage and never relinquished their lead en route to a 25-9 win. Six different Brandeis players recorded at least two kills as junior setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./ Cherry Hill East) had 12 assists in the set and led the offense to a .682 hitting percentage with 16 kills and just one error.
In the second set, Albertus Magnus looked to bounce back as they jumped out to an 8-2 lead featuring three kills from rookie middle blocker Kelsey Pendagast (Shelton, Conn./ Shelton). However, Brandeis fought back and evened the score at 10-10. Then, sophomore middle blocker Carly Gutner-Davis (Del Mar, Calif./ Canyon Crest Acad.) took over, serving 10 consecutive points where she racked up four service aces and a kill to open up a 20-10 lead. The Judges closed the set out for a 25-13 win by recording 12 kills to one error.
In the third set, a see-saw battle found the two sides knotted up 10-10 once more but this time senior middle blocker Becca Fisher (San Antonio, Texas/ Clark) came to the rescue. Fisher served seven consecutive points with Hood recording three kills in that span to open up an 18-10 advantage that Brandeis would not relinquish. The Judges closed the set on a 15-2 run and won 25-12 when Hood ended the match on a service ace for the sweep.
For the match, Brandeis racked up a season-high .487 attacking percentage thanks to 36 assists from Einhorn. Hood led the squad with 16 kills and earned her own season-high with a .652 attacking percentage. Meanwhile, senior middle blocker Lauren Berens (Boulder, Colo./ Fairview) and rookie middle blocker Maddie Engeler (Sandusky, Ohio/ St. Mary Central Catholic) combined for 10 kills with another excellent .667 attacking percentage for each player.

Simultaneously Record the Receipt and the Bill in QuickBooks 2014
You can record a bill for items that you receive at the same time that you record the receipt of the items in QuickBooks 2014. You can do this simply by selecting the Bill Received check box that appears near the top of the Create Item Receipts window.
If you know that you're going to record a bill at the same time that you record the receipt of items, you can also choose the Vendors→Receive Items and Enter Bill command. In other words, rather than choose the Receive Items command from the Vendors menu, you choose the Receive Items and Enter Bill command.
When you do this, QuickBooks displays the Enter Bills window. Essentially, the Enter Bills window is just another version of the Create Item Receipts window except that the Bill Received check box is already selected. To simultaneously record items that you've received and enter a bill, you follow the same steps as you do to record the receipt of the items.
One item worth noting about simultaneously recording bills and the receipt of items, however, is this: When you enter a bill, you need to be very precise about the charges of the vendor. For example, in all probability, you won't pay just for the ordered items. You may also pay certain shipping and handling fees. These amounts won't necessarily get recorded on the Items tab. They'll probably be recorded on the Expenses tab.

Poland's third largest city
Industrial Lodz (pronounced 'wooj') is often called 'the Manchester of Poland' for its historic links with the textile industry. Today, Poland's second largest city is a serious and businesslike place where Soviet era architecture jostles with grand historic buildings, and a blossoming film industry is taking root. Go, and be a pioneer.
Mall culture is alive and well in Ł�dź – Galerie Ł�dźka (Piłsudskiego 15-23) is one of the largest in the city, whilst Port Ł�dź (Pabianicka 245) is more food orientated. For a shopping centre with a difference, try Manufaktura (Drewnowska 58), an old factory that has been converted into a shiny retail space with Polish shops, restaurants and a cinema. For unique items, skip the main Piotrkowska drag (one of the longest commercial streets in Europe) and head down its side streets, where creative boutiques await at OFF Piotrkowska (Piotrkowska 138-140), an old cotton mill housing design studios, galleries, clubs and bars.
Food & Drink
As Poland's third largest city, Ł�dź has lots to offer when eating out. Pizza and pasta are perennial favourites: try Pizzeria Toscana (Stefana 3B) for some of the best pizza in the city. If you've got a craving for chips, go to cheap and cheerful The Dorsz British Fish and Chips (Traugutta 9), and pretend you're at the British seaside. For something slightly different, Manekin (6 Sierpnia 1) serves a selection of sweet and savoury pancakes – choose from broccoli and feta, potato or cheese, amongst others. Want to splash out? Traditional Polish cuisine is served at Revelo (Wigury 4-6), an art nouveau restaurant and hotel – ask for a table in the inner garden for the best spot.
International Festival of Photography
Making the most of Ł�dź's industrial heritage, photographs are presented against the stark, stunning backdrop of former mill OFF Piotrkowska. Soak up the atmosphere and take part in workshops to hone your skills.
Ł�dź of Four Cultures Festival
Ł�dź's multicultural roots are the inspiration for this festival that celebrates the Polish, Jewish, Russian and German origins of people that once lived – and currently dwell – in the city. Featuring musical performances, theatre and art, this is one time to really get a feel for how Ł�dź's past has shaped its present.
Ł�dź Design Festival
The Ł�dź Design Festival plays host to a number of exhibitions around the city, featuring weird, wonderful and beautiful work from Polish creatives and designers around the world.
International Festival of Comics and Games
Every October, thousands of comic enthusiasts descend on Ł�dź Culture Centre for the country's largest comics and computer games symposium. Fans can meet guest authors, take part in panel workshops and attend themed parties.
Explorers Festival
Lovers of extreme travel will love this festival aimed at enthusing explorers with tales of daring and gruelling adventures. As well as talks, there are exhibitions, workshops and competitions to inspire the next bout of wanderlust.
Housed in a hulking former textile factory, Andel's Hotel (Ogrodowa 17) is one of the top hotels in town – think post-industrial red brick, quirky furniture and a top-floor pool with excellent views. The imposing Novotel Ł�dź Centrum (Piłsudskiego 11A) may be more business-friendly, but its convenient location near the centre makes it an attractive option. For mod cons galore, the handsome Qubus Hotel Lodz (Mickiewicza 7) has flatscreen TVs and serves a generous buffet for breakfast, while the Campanile Ł�dź (Piłsudskiego 27) provides a bright and fresh option with top-of-the-range bedding and free Wi-Fi.

text: Bright Ideas for Bitter Cold January 03, 2017 Winter weather is a fact of life for much of the country, but when it brings below-zero temperatures and strong winds it can be very dangerous. Here are our top five tips for protecting yourself and your family throughout the coldest of cold snaps: Remember three feet for heat When using a space heater, use the three foot rule, keeping it three feet away from flammables like paper, clothing, curtains and rugs. Carry a road warrior kit Blankets, a flashlight, fresh batteries, cell phone charger, and sand/kitty litter for tire traction are a must when traveling in the winter. Protect your pets Bring your pets inside when possible, but if they have to stay out, be sure their outdoor shelter is warm and has fresh, unfrozen water. Keep pipes warm Keep the warm air from your home circulating near your pipes, and consider turning your faucets on to a drip to keep the water moving. Watch for frostbite If you must go outside, wear several lightweight layers to help create better insulation and preserve your body heat. Watch for symptoms of frostbite like numbness of the skin, skin turning white or grayish-yellow, skin feeling unusually firm or waxy. Contact your medical professional if you detect these symptoms.

Charles Yancy Trice is both a mystery and an open book. C.Y. Trice was born on 28 October 1853 in Cameron, Clinton County, Missouri. His parents were Charles Yancy Trice, Sr and Mary Ann Winstead. C.Y. was the eighth child of fourteen and the fifth son.
He was a promoter, salesman, and land advocate (real estate agent for farm lands). At least two promotional books, talking about the benefits of purchasing farm land from him in the area he was promoting at the time (Kansas or Missouri), were written. I have copies of each of them. [Unfortunately I haven't taken the time to transcribe them yet. These are on my to-do list, when I have nothing else to do that is more important at the particular time.] Charles served as mayor of Lamar, Barton County, Missouri, about 1898 or 1899 for 1 or 2 years.
When Col. Trice died in 1915 [Col. was an honorary title], he was in Little River County, Arkansas. There were very long obituaries written in the papers in both Ashdown, Arkansas and Lamar, Missouri. So, this is the area where there is a lot of information.
So, what's the mystery? In both obituaries two wives are mentioned: Miss Paralee M. Steen (two children) and Miss Lena Estelle Drake (three children). C.Y. and Lena raised the two children from his first marriage, and the story in the family was that Paralee died and the two children were left without a mother. HOWEVER, it appears that C.Y. and Lena were married, or at least had one daughter, before Paralee died in 1893 in Kansas.
The mystery continues. There is a marriage record for Charles and Paralee. There is a death record for Paralee. I have been unable to find a divorce record for Charles and Paralee AND I have been unable to find a marriage record for Charles and Lena. Considering that C.Y. had a good relationship with Lena's father, I am assuming that there was an actual wedding between C.Y. and Lena. But with first daughter Ruth born in 1891, to Charles and Lena, BUT court documents in El Dorado, Kansas show that Paralee died in 1893, I don't know exactly what happened when.
I have LOTS of information and documents on this family, many of them original. I am definitely willing to share what I have.
SOooo…If you are interested in this family, and this mystery, or can help me solve this mystery, please contact me.

I was 26 years old and 125 pounds when I became pregnant in 1996. I had very little morning sickness and for the most part, my pregnancy seemed to be progressing normally. An ultrasound revealed that the baby was a girl. My doctor was a young OBGYN who had a pleasant manner. At a routine visit to him in early February of 1997, he noted that my weight had escalated considerably from my last visit. I was at about 24 weeks gestation. He told me to contact his office immediately should I notice or feel anything unusual. On Thursday, February 13, after dropping my husband off at work, I decided to go shopping. I was aggravated that nothing fit comfortably... Read More

On Febuary 1,2015 I went through the most horrific thing a woman can go through. I was 6 months pregnant (26 weeks to be exact) with a baby boy. My boyfriend and I were overly excited and already planning for Messiah's arrival. I could see the joy in my boyfriend's eyes when he found out we were having a boy. I didn't care, girl or boy, I prayed everyday for a healthy baby and an easy delivery. I had a miscarriage a few months before at 13 weeks, So I felt extremly blessed to have made it to 6 months with this pregnancy. Every day I feared something would just go wrong with this pregancy too, and I guess the feeling I had was real. I didn't have high BP until I became pregnant,... Read More

Olivia's Story: On September 28th, 2014 I never knew that simply walking in to the hospital on a hunch that something was wrong and I didn't feel good would change my life forever. My symptoms included upper right stomach pain, upper gastric pain, and extremely high blood pressure. At this point in my pregnancy I was 22 weeks along, and Olivia was perfect. After being seen by a doctor, they decided it was time to admit me. I was alone and had driven myself to the hospital; my husband was still out of town and not due to make it home until the next day. He was extremely worried and was unable to change his flight and driving would... Read More

I got pregnant at 19, it was my first pregnancy and everything was easy! Then I got further along and started having high blood pressure BUT they said no biggie we've seen worse, so I'm thinking they're the dr; I should trust them right? Well, my blood pressure remained high the duration of my pregnancy. I was induced at 38 weeks and I went in on Wednesday had my daughter Thursday. I was on magnesium sulfate, they also told me my placenta looked like it came out of a meat grinder?!?!? They sent me home the next day. I thought, wow, I'm a mom! I had a beautiful little girl and I was happy to get home. Well Sunday came around and I had this headache that only came around when I sat... Read More

The evening of June 30, 2014, while 32 weeks pregnant with my daughter, I was experiencing slight pain in the upper quadrant of my stomach, which was there from the night before. I thought to go to a Patient First center in our area but by the time my husband got home from work it was close to 10pm and the centers were about to close. So my husband called around to see if anything else was open but to no avail. I was so tired so I thought I would just go to bed and deal with it in the morning. My husband was very concerned and urged me to go to the ER just in case. So I forced myself to get out of bed, listen to him and go to the ER. After waiting for what seemed like forever, I get...

When I first became pregnant at age 21 (surprise after my husband was told he was sterile from multiple chemotherapy and radiation treatments) the last thing I expected was an abnormal pregnancy. Everything was going fine. I was going to school full time for my bachelor degree and working full time at a dental office during this pregnancy. The last week of the semester I had a presentation due. The day before the presentation I had a gybo appointment. My blood pressure was elevated. The doctor asked me if I was under any stress. I told her it was the week of finals and that I may have been a bit stressed from that. She told me to... Read More

My pregnancy with Marla seemed typical. At every prenatal appointment, I was told, "happy baby." None of the doctors in the practice expressed any concern for mine or the baby's health. This was my mistake, seeing my doctor's colleagues and not just my doctor. I was perfectly healthy prior to this pregnancy so I thought there were no worries. In hindsight, it is obvious where my pregnancy problems began. At 30 weeks I had significant vaginal bleeding. So much that I thought I peed my pants. My husband rushed me to the nearest hospital (mine was an hour away). The doctors there concluded that nothing was wrong. "Some women just... Read More

On January 2, 2013 I was 23 weeks pregnant with our first child and we just found out that we were having a girl. So excited we had a gender reveal party and everyone was so happy to find the gender of our baby. I woke up the next morning with flu like symptoms and a painful right arm but I ignored it and just attributed it to pregnancy symptoms. I decided to stay home from work and just rest. However rest was not on the agenda. I began to vomit every 5 minutes and knew this couldn't be "symptoms from pregnancy" I called my doctor who said "This sounds like a stomach bug. Try to get some rest and call us if it doesn't subside." Well, I never got the chance to make that call because my... Read More

My pregnancy was going great aside from the major feeling of nausea and I was having even the zofran I was taking only helped a little. My doctor told me it was find and it will go away. I was 8-9weeks along when I found out and I was feeling like this for at least a week or two. But I was okay otherwise, my doctor says everything looking great and I was happy and then came time to start planning for the baby and finding out the sex of my bundle of joy. IT IS A BOY !!! We were totally excited and then I started to have back pain and I was sleeping a lot and had head aches and my feet were killing me. I just said that was because I was working and being on my feet and then the... Read More

After having 2 boys at 31 wks and 28 wks due to eclampsia with the 1st and pre-eclampsia with the 2nd, I'm proud to be 36 wks and everything is going well. During this pregnancy I prayed and prayed and put my faith on display. I monitored my blood pressure everyday and my doctor decided to put me on baby asprin and extra folic acid. Some people may say this didnt work, but I'm a testimony that it did. I have 3 more wks left, due to a scheduled c-section and just want to say, stay with hope and faith. I was completely scared during this pregnancy and hoped and prayed and cried, but through it all I'm going FULL TERM!!!!

Ella was born prematurely on 6/5/09. Due to her premature status she was required to stay in the Good Samaritan Hospital NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) in Downer's Grove, IL. 4 days after Ella was born my wife Erin was having what we thought was a migraine headache (she has had them before). I woke up earlier then her that morning and went out into the living room. A few hours later I heard moaning coming from the bedroom. I went into the bedroom to see what was going. I found Erin in the bed with her eyes open moaning. She was unresponsive when I spoke to her and seemed to not be able to get out of bed. I tried to speak... Read More

This is a really difficult story to write because of the sheer trauma of the experience I went through just a little over a month ago. I was diagnosed with chronic high blood pressure over 3 years ago and at the age of 24, that was a very hard thing to accept. I started to lose weight and my blood pressure and cycles regulated after having been almost nonexistent with my excessive weight gain. I fell pregnant during my journey to weight loss in April of 2014. Me and my husband were elated and so excited, I just could not believe that we were finally going to have a baby. I immediately joined the baby forums and started taking part in all those insane conversations. Then I started seeing... Read More

On October 23, 2014 I woke up that morning with a horrible headache. I was debating about heading to school, since I'm 21 going to Western Kentucky University to graduate with an Environmental Health degree in May 2015. With the horrible headache I was having I decided to call my fiancés mom, an RN, for her to come check my blood pressure. When she came to check it, it was 220/170. So we got in the car to head to the doctor. However on the way over my life took an unexpected turn. I started having a seizure that lasted 6 minutes. I don't hardly remember much from there... the ambulance was called and they met my family on the road to rush me to the OB ER. From there, I was still not... Read More

I was due May 20, 2014 with a baby boy. I never expected anything bad to happen because I had a good, pretty easy pregnancy. I was 36 weeks pregnant and I started feeling more tired and I started to get pain in my kidneys. I have had kidney problems since I was a baby so I figured it was that. So I just went on with my day. A little later on the pain got so severe I couldn't get comfortable and I tried to take anything to ease the pain. I woke up that night with the worst kidney pain I've ever had in my life. I had my mom take me to the ER. There they have me morphine, which barely helped and then switched me over to labor and delivery. There they monitored me and gave me pain... Read More

I am a physician and the mother of a 2 year old daughter born after a long struggle with infertility. I really believed that planning our second child for 18 months later would be a second infertility treatment success. I thought I had endured as much hardship as a young mother could be dealt in her family building journey. But at just 16 weeks, I snuck a peek at my baby while at work with a colleague who was similarly pregnant. Her baby nicely displayed his gender identifying parts to us on the ultrasound. Mine was very difficult to see; there seemed to be very little amniotic fluid. Frustrated, I mentioned it at my routine prenatal appointment. And suddenly we were off to the... Read More

My battle with preeclampsia started just a week ago, literally. Up until last Monday, I had the fairytale pregnancy: no morning sickness, no lack of energy, no problems whatsoever. I went into my pregnancy very fit and active-I completed a 200 mile bike ride at 4 months pregnant and ran in a half marathon at 6.5 months and always had great blood pressure and health. So, finding out that I had a serious medical condition/pregnancy complication was something that neither my husband nor myself were prepared for. About a month ago (beginning of November), I noticed that I had somehow put on quite a bit of... Read More

I had a normal healthy pregnancy, excited I was having the first set of twins in my family. At the end of my second trimester I was so miserable and uncomfortable (I was only 98 lbs when I got pregnant) that my doctor put me on bed rest. I noticed one of the babies wasn't moving much but all the doctors and ultrasounds showed 2 happy healthy babies but put me on the kick-count. Two nights later my husband takes me to the hospital where they find extremely high BP and I'm about to have a.seizure. For 4 days I'm on constant supervision, magnesium and steroids. On the 5th day I am 32 weeks to the day. I missed my baby shower. Since they cannot stabilize me they take me into emergency... Read More

Even though it has been nine years since my last pregnancy and bout with preeclampsia, I have never truly gotten over the scare of it all. I was lucky, my babies came early, they survived and thrived. I was blessed to have a husband who is a pediatrician and knew that he needed to rush me to my doctor. I am lucky that when I woke up at home, choking on my own saliva and feeling a "zing"- I don't know how else to describe it- I recovered. Please trust your instincts! This is my advise to whoever may read this. Lying in my hospital bed May 31, 2000 with my five pound little man in my arms, I just "didn't feel right." I never once had high blood pressure in my life, usually on the low side... Read More

This was technically my second pregnancy, I'd lost my first to a miscarriage. We wanted a baby so badly so every little twinge, spot or cramp made me so scared. But as it turns out, I was worrying about the wrong things. I'd been diagnosed with PIH early on in my pregnancy but honestly, I never gave it a second thought. I figured it was just something that happens with pregnancy and it was no big deal. Again, I was wrong. At 28 weeks, I'd gone in for a routine check up. I remember sitting in the lobby planning what to make for dinner. I was called back, they took my blood pressure and it was high. It's usually high at first, I was a teacher and they... Read More

As if all the angst about drug-resistant staph bacteria wasn't worrisome enough, now it turns out you might get the deadly germ from your cat.
Suspicions about that calico on the couch are being raised this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. German scientists reported that a woman endured a series of nasty abscesses caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, known as MRSA, until a veterinarian screened — and treated — the family cat.
It's not an isolated case, or critter, according to researchers in the U.S. and Canada who are studying the connection between pets, people and this dangerous, drug-resistant bug linked to more than 94,000 infections and nearly 19,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2005.
"We've found MRSA in dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs — even marine mammals," said J. Scott Weese, an associate professor of pathobiology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. Horses and cows also are routinely affected.
Owners should be aware, but not worried, about the possibility of getting MRSA from their pets, said Weese, who is part of a team led by researchers at the University of Missouri, Columbia, studying the prevalence of MRSA in humans and companion animals.
"The big thing we need to get the mindset around is that we're not a population of dogs, cats and people, we're a population of animals," said Weese.
The question perplexing scientists is whether people and pets swap the MRSA germs back and forth, creating a loop of infection and reinfection that could endanger humans and animals alike.
People and pets carry MRSA germs
So far, it's clear that humans and pets can be colonized with the MRSA bacteria, said John R. Middleton, an associate professor of food animal medicine and surgery at the University of Missouri. That doesn't mean they've got active infections, just that they're carriers of the germs that are resistant to most frontline antibiotics.
An ongoing study of some 600 people-pet households across the U.S. showed that staph aureus germs were present in nearly 28 percent of people and about 13 percent of pets. About 10 percent of households had both a human and an animal colonized.
MRSA, the drug-resistant strain, was detected in more than 5 percent of humans and about 3 percent of dogs and cats, Middleton said.
What's not so clear is whether people got MRSA from their pets — or whether they gave it to them, researchers said. One theory is that pets may pick up the bacteria from people, but then serve as reservoirs, harboring the bugs so they can reinfect humans.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
"Pets could be innocent bystanders, or they could be significant sources of infection," Weese said. "They're probably somewhere in between."
For many people and their pets, the MRSA cycle is not serious. Most MRSA infections are minor skin lesions that are cured quickly with proper hygiene and secure bandages. The bacteria become dangerous when they travel inside the body, where they can lead to bloodstream or surgical site infections or life-threatening pneumonia.
If infections don't heal, test pets
In homes where people are suffering serial MRSA infections or from surgical wounds that just don't heal, it's a good idea to consider the non-human family members, scientists said.
"They'll go ahead and treat all the humans, but they haven't treated the pets," Middleton said.
Most vets should be able to conduct the simple swab tests to determine whether a pet is colonized with MRSA, he added.
If the test comes back positive, don't panic, said Lori Spagnoli, 59, of New Jersey. Her oldest cat, Momo, has had a lingering MRSA infection since 2005. Spagnoli's husband, Joe, tested positive for MRSA colonization once, but not again. Spagnoli attributes her family's MRSA-free status to scrupulous sanitation and supplements that boost the immune systems of people and cats alike.
She never considered giving away 15-year-old Momo, or the cat's offspring, Fluffy and Dotti, both 14. Instead she sought advice from the United Kingdom-based Bella Moss Foundation, which helps people whose pets have MRSA.
"I view it as any other bacteria that a family member having it could enter the home," she said. "You're on notice that it might be an issue."
People typically are dosed with stronger-than-normal antibiotics to kick intractable MRSA infections. That's possible in pets, too, but it appears that animals will shed the bacteria on their own, Weese said, given enough time, good hygiene and no reinfection by a human source.
A good thing, too. One effective cure for animals is a dose of antibiotic nasal cream, which is applied more easily in some species than others, said Middleton.
"You can imagine trying to treat a cat," he said.

No One Understands Lyrics
I've always played the fool around here and I'm starting to worry that I rush through life forgetting to breathe. We all need some time to adapt. No one understands what it's like. I had high hopes of silver and gold, that I'd make a change for the best. My mom always said I was named for a saint but I've never felt I was blessed. I got your cure right here, is that what you wanna hear? I played the fool too many times-I've been catching up for all my life. And it seems it gets harder to believe it gets harder but be honest…if the sun don't shine tomorrow-we'll survive. I turned this up, as loud as it goes and it ain't doing much for the pain. And it's up to me and the heart on my sleeve that hasn't quit been the same. I'm in a field of land mines and cruise ship to hell oh, but I don't think about that. It's so hard to find help these days when everyone's counting on me and I'm burnt already.

The card game Set has very simple rules (see here for rules), and it has prompted mathematicians to ask several questions. I will describe one of these questions. When the game ends, there are usually some left over cards, none of which form a Set; but occassionally it happens that the remaining cards all match up, and there are no left over cards. Call such a situation a "perfect" game. My question is:
What is the probability of having a perfect game? What are the best known upper and lower bounds for this probability?
Here we assume that if there are multiple sets available, then one is selected at random (with uniform probability among all distinct available sets). According to this handout the exact value for the probability of a perfect game is "very open". Anecdotally, I've probably played Set hundreds (maybe thousands?) of times, and only a handful have been perfect games (one of which was earlier today!).
A related question one could ask is whether or not the actual gameplay changes the probability. What I mean is:
Say all 81 cards are laid down face up, and Sets are removed randomly until no Sets remain. Is the probability of having no left over cards the same as it is when the game is played normally?
I could remark that the actual game of Set is a special case of a larger class of games, where the cards have n attributes each with r possible values; the usual game is the case n=4 and r=3. One could ask the same questions for this larger class of games. Also, these questions are more naturally viewed as questions about configurations of lines in affine space, but I've chosen to stick with the card game terminology.

How to Make a Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Cake
Let this festive jack-o-lantern cake be the center piece of your Halloween party. A fluted bundt pan creates a realistic look, and the Brown Sugar Cake fits the tenor of October . . . but is delicious year-round.
Assembling and Decorating the Jack-O-Lantern Cake
Tools: Two 10-fluted bundt pans, #11 icing tip
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 50 minutes plus 30 minutes for cooling
Decoration time: 35 minutes plus 1 hour for refrigeration
Yield: 24 servings
2 batches Brown Sugar Cake batter
2 batches buttercream frosting
Black food coloring gel
Leaf green food coloring gel
Sunset orange food coloring gel
Banana, unpeeled
Divide and tint the buttercream frosting as follows: 1 cup black, 1⁄2 cup leaf green, and the remainder orange.
Turn one cake upside down, and frost it with orange buttercream. Put the other cake on top of it, right side up, and frost the entire cake orange. With the last coat of frosting, frost the cake with a downward motion to create the striations found on a real pumpkin.
Outfit a pastry bag with a coupler, a #10 tip, and black frosting. On the side of the pumpkin, pipe two triangles for the eyes, one triangle for the nose, and a series of smaller triangles for the mouth.
Cut the banana in half, and cover it with green frosting. Insert it stem side up into the hole at the top of the pumpkin.

Makes 4 servings
This crisp and refreshing salad can be prepared quickly -- and in advance, if you wish. Accompanied by fruit muffins and iced tea, here's an irresistible choice for serving on a summer night.
Dash of salt
16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 large cucumber, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 cup coarsely shredded carrots
2 green onions, chopped
Sesame-Soy Dressing
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark (Asian) sesame oil
2 tablespoons white rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
To complete the recipe
4 large leaves leaf lettuce
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Pour water into a medium sauté pan, to a level about 1 ½ inches deep (when it is added, the chicken should be covered by ½ inch water). Stir in a dash of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken; reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through.
With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the skillet. Cut it into 2-inch squares and place on a plate to cool. (Discard the poaching liquid.)
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together the cucumber, carrots, and green onions.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, making certain the sugar is dissolved.
Add the dressing to the cucumber-carrot mixture and toss lightly. Add the chicken; toss again.
To assemble the servings, arrange a bed of greens on each of 4 salad plates, top with the chicken salad, and garnish.

Night at the Museum Secret of the Tomb lacks the lackluster of the first installment. Of course, that goes without saying I guess. Ever since they decided to come up with scripts that could stretch the original a bit, a lot of us had already lost interest.
Shawn Levy brings, yet again, another part to the franchise that has so far been successful in raking him decent moolahs. So this one right here is just another endeavour to elongate the already majestic Milan Trenc book that should have stopped right at the first part.
Nevertheless the movie is a happy hoot and as long as it brings smile to our faces, nobody's complaining.
Breaking Down Night at the Museum Secret of the Tomb
Night at the museum: Secret of the Tomb is just another flick that promises a little bit adventure with a little humour. It does venture into wee bit drama, as its predecessors have, with some side story focusing occasionally at the father and son tension. However, everything still ends up being forgettable and dispensable.
The best thing about Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is Rebel Wilson. She tickles your guts with her cool humour.
To see Robin Williams come alive once again was actually nice. There were some new introductions and pleasant additions to the story besides the old gang, which I believe might carry forward unless Shawn starts minding the money.
You can order Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb here:
One Teensy Spoiler Ahead
Watch out for 'Huge Ackman'. He was charming as ever, even without his blades! 😉
One weird thing about the flick is that with the inclusion of such a huge cast, screen-time became an issue. Juggling with all characters to deliver witty one-liners was kind of a hard job. You could see that hotchpotch unfurling gradually.
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is a one-time watch movie. In fact, perfect for kids. Also if you want that, once and for all, closure.
I would recommend go for it and then toss it in the backdrop of your mind where you don't go often to scour memories.
