SNL Lets Billy Crystal Swing by Weekend Update
Vanessa Bayer's Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy has been a regular character on SNL's Weekend Update for quite some time now, so it was about time for us meet the family of everyone's favorite awkward, overly prepared Jewish kid. Coinciding with the end of Passover, the show brought the great Billy Crystal onto the show as Jacob's equally awkward father.
SNL Puts a Face on Adult Diapers With "Depend Legends"
SNL is always so good at creating eerily realistic fake advertisements for products that will never, ever exist unless humanity truly goes insane, and the show's Depend Legends sketch is no exception. There is no way anyone is every going to want to own adult diapers that have images of famous figures from history and popular culture printed on them, but this ad makes that reality feel a little too real.

Season TWO OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

Re: Season TWO OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread
What I don't understand is, if time constraints were such an issue, why not reuse all the applicable work that CBS-D did? Isn't that how it was done originally? Did they really redo every effects pass on stock footage each episode? Blur it up, add Curry's touch to it, whatever. It would have saved weeks of work simply porting over all the ILM work which was the majority of shots of the Enterprise, leaving time for much-needed QC. They practically started from scratch on everything. So instead of using superior effects, they waste weeks on inferior effects. It doesn't add up.
I'm relieved to learn (from TrekCore) that the opening credits were ported straight from season 1. Based on what I've seen, I would expected HTV to redo those too, but gladly that is not the case.

Figure 6.
Determination of the EZA protonation enthalpy. (a) ITC raw titration curve of 0.25 mM EZA in water with 1.5 equivalent NaOH titrated with 2.5 mM HNO3 at 37°C. (b) Integrated ITC curves of EZA (◯) and TFMSA (▲) titration with HNO3 at 37°C. The first transition represents the neutralization of 0.5 equivalent of NaOH with HNO3 while the second transition (between the molar ratio of 0.5 and 1.5) represents the titration of the compound. In these experiments the enthalpies of protonation were −21.3 kJ/mol for TFMSA and −27.6 kcal/mol for EZA. (c) The enthalpies of EZA (◯) and TFMSA (▲) protonation as a function of temperature. The slopes yield the heat capacities of protonation equal to 88.7 J/(mol × K) for EZA and 124.7 J/(mol × K) for TFMSA.

The Pitfalls of the General-Purpose IC Operational Amplifier as Applied to Audio Signal Processing
General-purpose internally compensated IC operational amplifiers with unity gain frequencies of 1 MHz have become an industry standard. Despite the attractiveness of these devices with the attendant applications, simplicity, and economy, the fact remains that in many situations they evolve serious tradeoffs in performance when universally applied. Better performance may be realized by applying IC operational amplifiers with the performance criteria for the specific application in mind. In this manner, such key parameters as slewing rate, gain-bandwidth product, power output, and input noise may be optimized as required.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 314 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by NSNL Great experience at this hotel I had one of my better SPG experiences at this hotel. The check-in process was very efficient and rewards were appreciated. The room was clean and beautifully decorated and service was outstanding at the restaurant. The gym also met expectations and the wifi didn't fail. White it is a little out of the downtown Santa Monica area, I would recommend this SPG hotel. June 4, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by AM2800 Below Par I've stayed here a number of times because it is convenient for business in Santa Monica but you're generally overpaying for what you get. Old pretty unattractive hotel on a busy, not so nice street even though it is within about a mile of the beach. If you aren't from LA, you wouldn't feel safe walking east even 2 blocks. Old rooms. Overpriced very plain restaurant even for a hotel. You won't hate this place, but I think you will be a bit disappointed in general for the price. May 27, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by KP0518 Called 4 times to speak with somebody about overcharge! My company gets us rooms at the Santa Monica location when we travel there. I recently checked out and decided to just get the folio via email. When I did, I was out of the hotel and noticed there was a overcharge from the restaurant/bar. I called the general number and explained to somebody what had happened the guy assured me it would get forwarded to the billing/accounting department and they would take care of it. Long story short, 7 days go by...no call and no email..I call back and speak to somebody at the Santa Monica hotel..again was told it would get taken care of... A couple days go by and still nothing...I call again and leave a voice mail on their accounting/billing voice mail... again nothing! I call and ask to speak with a hotel manager. I get transferred to Jamie's voice mail and I explained the situation and asked her to please contact me and left a detailed voice mail with all my contact information... Today, I had to do a chargeback because the customer service at this hotel has been so horrible! I'll kindly ask my company to book employee hotels elsewhere. May 26, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackie7227 Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The room was very comfortable with lots of space and very comfortable beds. The pool was heated to a very comfortable temperature and the gym had plenty of new, nice machines. Within walking distance to the beach. May 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by kilroy56 Great getaway The complimentary valet was great. Calling to the front desk when ready to go and my car was ready when I arrived. Very organized! May 19, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by kiyo23hiro Horrible Experience do not expect platinum perks at this hotel. most hotels ive been to include breakfast while still giving you a welcome amenity (points, free drink at the bar, or wine/cheese plate etc). if you want free breakfast at this hotel you need to choose it at your platinum welcome amenity. no room upgrades here either even though there were entry level suites available. i asked politely to see if a room upgrade was possible and the person at the front desk said the hotel was at capacity. when i got to my room i looked at the inventory on spg.com and there were entry level suites available for purchase. i booked the hotel the same day so was not able to apply my suite night upgrade but i feel if a room is available the hotel should try to accommodate members as best they can to top things off the valet inked up the drivers seat in my brand new car. 7 days old. the hotel did absolutely nothing as the valet company is not part of spg. but if the valet at your hotel is messing up cars i feel the hotel should do everything they can to make sure the stay for that guest is a great experience May 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CRMD Exceptional service I stayed at the LeMeridien in Santa Monica for business and the front desk staff was so helpful and friendly. They provded great customer service and made our stay wonderful. We will be returning, Thanks again David! May 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JRSK7258 Mom and daughter 5 days in Santa Monica Fabulous service, room, view, everyhting was womderful. Mike at front desk wa exceptional. April 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sjens Amazing staff I've stayed in a lot of hotels, but I marveled at the attitude, hospitality and helpfulness of this staff. Upon arrival, the valet guys, despite being very busy, were polite and professional. When I went inside, the person who checked me in was thorough and quickly helped rectify a minor issue with my reservation. Then, the bellman who delivered my bags engaged very nicely with my 7-year-old son. It was like that throughout. No, I didn't get any fancy perks, or upgraded to the Presidential Suite, or even given a free breakfast or drink. But the smiles of the staff and their sincere desire to help really resonated with me and my family. Frankly, it reminded me of the sort of hospitality I'm more accustomed to in my travels abroad, not in the United States. That I felt compelled to write this (even as I type this) is a bit surprising to even myself! But I gotta give credit where credit is due. March 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by roboch Great customer service Sorry to read other reviews on impolite hotel staff. We experienced the contrary on many occasions. I had requested an early check in (11AM) as we were running the LA Marathon when reserving the room. Mike at the front desk was extremely helpful and got us a room despite the hotel being fully booked (Marathon, Spring break, and Wedding show). We owe a huge thank you to the staff for making our stay extra pleasant - especially after a grueling run on LA's hottest day in March. From the front desk, to valet staff, they did their best to cater to a large number of guests. It was mayhem in Santa Monica on March 15th. This is my third stay here (previously the hotel was the Delfina Sheraton) and I will return for the great location and proximity to the beaches - especially for surfing, running, & biking around Santa Monica. March 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jswill19 Spring Break in Santa Monica I picked Santa Monica because my friend is in Santa Monica. I don't think I was treated well because of her, I think they treat everyone this way. I had a great time, the food was good, loved the bike rentals. I had a car and never used it so the free valet was really nice. I didn't use the house car because I really liked taking the bike out. I laid out at the pool on the marathon day and it was really busy, but it was still relaxing. Thank you for a nice stay and hopefully I'll be back. March 18, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Andy71 Major Disappointment I am Platinum and have stayed almost everywhere at SPG hotels in the L.A. area and this was the most disappointing of all of them. The so-called "complimentary" parking is a misnomer as you'll be charged an $18 "amenity" fee in any event, even though this hotel is not a resort (case in point... the pool is about 10 feet long). The valet service was terrible. I called down 5 or 10 minutes n advance and still waited 20 minutes for my car at 7:00 a.m. when I got down there. Staff was unresponsive to my complaint. At check-in, I was put on a low floor with no view as a Platinum "upgrade." Limited "restaurant" with limited food options, but a decent hamburger at least. Finally, the toilets are so small in the rooms that they are appropriate for children, not adults. March 6, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by mms4 Less Than Ideal Stay Overall, I was rather disappointed in my stay. My room wasn't so bad, but the staff was not very helpful or responsive. Since my room failed to have a coffee maker in room, I requested one and that request went unanswered. It was difficult to get an itemized receipt by the end of my stay, which precludes me from every staying here for business again. I requested that the valet get my car while I was still in my room, as I was in a rush to the airport and they had been slow all week. Well, they didn't have it when I got down there (after 15 minutes) so I nearly missed my flight. This was a disappointing stay and I don't plan on returning to this particular establishment any time soon. March 1, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sales007 Great Location, Lavish Hotel, Lacking Amenities The hotel is about 10 minutes from the beach. Perfect to go for a run because of the location. If you're lucky enough to find a parking spot before they're all taken, you can also save a bit of money (just go to the hotel early). Before they were Le Meredien, they were the Sheraton Delfina. I truly miss the old hotel. I love the staff, as they were very attentive and professional (especially DJ). I was never upgraded with my Platinum status, except to higher levels. Would have loved a suite at some point after staying here so many times. As for the amenities, there aren't much. The gym is decent, but small. Has a few cardio machines and a full set of free weights. The pool is very small outside, but then again you might as well go to the beach. I don't think that the staff are as friendly as other SPG hotels I have stayed at, but they're very professional. Location-wise, you're not too far from the highway, It's an easy 30-50 minute drive to the airport, as long as you avoid prime times. I'd consider staying at this hotel again if I am to visit Santa Monica. It's gotten quite a bit more expensive since changing brands without adding much value. There is a small Platinum room with some soda/drinks, and small pastries. Not really that great for breakfast, so bank on going elsewhere for food if you stay here. February 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPRINKYROB Had a great time Could not be happier with the staff and facilities at this hotel. Highly recommend it to anyone. February 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by clw3 Excellent staff This hotel has excellent staff, they were quick to take care of any needs and with a great attitude, especially like to point out Pedro the concierge and the front desk Sophia. January 22, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by kris999 Disappointing Stayed here for a week! bathroom broken and water kept gushing back into the bath! Called in but a poor fix caused the problem to resurface! It is definitely not a Category 5! maybe 3 at best. I have stayed at several SPG properties and this one is overpriced and among the worst! January 6, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Flying70 OK Place to Stay for business Easy access to major highways. Not proximate to beach area if you care about that. Staff was most helpful at all times. Younger crowd. Cluttered lobby area. Morning food services expensive. December 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by starwood123456789 subpar I am a platinum Starwood member and was "upgraded" upon arrival for our 2 night stay. What they failed to tell us was that they were replacing all of the toilets on the floor that we were on starting early in the morning. It would have been appropriate for them to inform us of this renovation up front and offer to move us to another floor. Additionally, they now charge $18 per night which essentially covers a cheap glass of sparkling wine and internet. Faucet in the bathroom was loose. All in all, this was not a positive experience. We vowed the last time that we stayed here not to stay again but i decided to give it one more chance. My bad December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ElectionGuru Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff The Meridien is a nicely modernized older hotel with some curious pathways and routes to get from room to pool, and back. The public areas are elegant, but the staff make the hotel. They are prompt and eager to offer assistance in any way. Highly recommended. December 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LifetimePlatinum1972 Better than expected This was our first time at this property. Ideal business hotel however we were on vacation. We fortunately were upgraded to a suite however it was a wheel chair accessible room which wouldn't have been bad if everything wasn't designed lower. I am 5'10" and the mirror over the sink only viewed my lower torso. The staff was excellent but the gym was cramped and the hotel towels were yellowed and old. Towels are such an important part of hotel amenities. We give the property a solid B. December 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by wilbor Wanted to like but... Reception was nice. Helped me with platinum upgrade. The rooms are TINY. Obviously an upgraded Sheraton. They have fixed the parking situation! Pros: close to beach and restaurants/bars; front of house friendly and nice Cons: TERRIBLE bathrooms; rooms are definitely 2-star-ish; glacial response from front when requested anything; comp shuttle was never available; pool too small to use and deck mostly shaded Verdict: this place is NOT an LM hotel--many of them are fantastic!; hard to spruce up a place with bad "bones"; glad I used points because I would be very unhappy if paid the outlandish sum they're asking for this place; will not stay here again--probably one of the Ws next time in LA... December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crickit Excellent Features Le Meridian provides any amenity that you could possibly need while you are away from home. We especially enjoyed the complimentary bikes available for 4 hours or less. The complimentary Valet Parking is not usually available in any City and I think it will be hard to find any hotel that provides this feature. Their restaurant with their Happy Hour/Social Hour is excellent. We enjoyed everything about this hotel and the staff were very accommodating. We loved the housekeeping girls too. December 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by fbc001 Excellent staff & a few downsides Booked 2 rooms for 3-nts each during Thanksgiving weekend. Excellent staff from Reception, Valet, Concierge, Bar & restaurant. Want to especially thank Haley Kruse at Reception for printing out multiple boarding passes (printer at the Business Ctr was out of order the whole wknd) and taking care of bonus pts for our choosing the Green Choice. Also want to thank Rigo at Check-in for going over various room options with us. Note that MOST rooms in this hotel are Connecting Rooms which means much more noise from neighboring rooms (each room actually connected to neighbors on both sides which meant even more noise issue). Travelers who are noise sensitive should be aware of this issue. December 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SLfamily Great hotel west of I-5 with great service My family (2 parents, 2 kids) spent the Thanksgiving holiday here and couldn't have been happier with the quality and the location of the hotel (5 minute walk to the beach). Most importantly, the service was outstanding as Jami, the Director of the Front Office, helped accommodate our family and ensure we had a tremendous stay. The hotel does a very good job recognizing and accommodating SPG status as well. All in all, a great hotel experience for a great family vacation! November 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Joan66 Not a Luxury Hotel SPG MUSTchange the rating for this hotel as it is NOT LUXURY. The bed in the room was made up incorrectly, no fitted bottom sheet. The coffee maker did not work, and the size of the room was small. The registration staff person spoke so fast he was very difficult to understand. The parking service was very prompt and helpful. November 30, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by SurfNsun GREAT Stay-cation FREE PARKING?!?! FREE INTERNET?!?! This is great! So close to the Beach and great little eats is just a perk compared to the FREE PARKING AND INTERNET. Its a great please to have a little Stay-cation and get all the same amenities you would at home. This is truly a Home-away-from- home! November 20, 2014

19 Reasons Retail Workers Hate the Holidays
I have not worked retail during Christmas is almost six years, but I still get a chill down my spine at the sound of a code being called over a loudspeaker. I wear my wounds proudly.
As the holidays roar on, so does the continued suffering of retail workers. It is a shock that Black Friday sales started not Friday, not Thursday night, but noon on Thanksgiving Day. The idea that a large portion of the American population had to forgo their turkey legs and drive to work where they would be faced with the mother of all shopping frenzies is beyond crazy. Do that many people need early access to a $100 wall-sized flat screen? Just this past week, Kohl's announced they would be open 24 hours a day starting December 20 until Christmas Eve. What?!
Maybe some of us don't remember what it was like to work a retail job or some never have had the privilege, but it is hard work, especially during the holidays. Let me share with you some of the reasons why retail workers hate the holidays.
Customers yelling at the glass or banging on the door to get you to open early
Gift wrapping - so many paper cuts
Closing the store at 1 a.m. and opening it the next morning at 8 a.m.
Customers on cell phones at the register
Parking in the employee area so far from the building you arrive 30 minutes early for the walk
Having to go back to the mall for your own gift shopping and hating every moment
Hearing the same holiday music over and over again
Being held personally responsible when things sell out
Mandatory overtime
You miss every great holiday party because of work
Clock out time is 10 p.m., but you don't go home until 1 a.m. because of late shoppers coming it to "just look"
Customers trash the store. You dream of strangling them with the sweater they just threw on the floor.
No breaks, except to pee or scarf down food-like substances
Meals either come from the food court or the tray of cookies in the break room
Shoplifters - this is their high season
It doesn't matter what you say - Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa - everything is offensive to someone
People have no appreciation for you because "you chose to work here"
If you want to ease the pain of retail works, just bear in mind these three things:
Thank you goes a long way. The golden rule never hurt anyone. Patience is indeed a virtue.

With Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on the brink, the Obama administration reportedly is considering the release of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard as a way to keep the two sides at the table, but the former head of the CIA said Sunday such a move would be disastrous.
Gen. Michael Hayden, former chief of both the CIA and NSA, said the release of Pollard — now serving a life sentence at a federal prison in North Carolina for selling secrets to Israel in the 1980s — would show the White House is desperate to make progress on Israeli-Palestinian peace.
"I don't think it's a good idea just to keep some people at the table, which apparently was the purpose of this offer," he said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "It's almost a sign of desperation, that you throw this into the pot in order to keep the Israelis talking with the Palestinians."
Peace negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian leaders have been derailed in recent days, with Israeli leaders refusing to release a group of Palestinian prisoners as they had previously agreed to do.
In response, Palestinian leaders took steps to join more than a dozen international organizations — something they had vowed not to do.
The prospect of Pollard's release represents U.S. leverage to keep Israel at the table, but Mr. Hayden argued it would send the message that you can sell or steal America's intelligence secrets and get away with it.
He said such a move would raise speculation that Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who revealed the depth of U.S. spying and data-collection efforts, also would be allowed to escape justice.
"The administration would be saying 'Pollard,' and everyone in my old community, the intelligence community, would not be hearing 'Pollard.' They would be hearing 'Snowden,'" Mr. Hayden said. "And they would believe this kind of behavior could actually be politically negotiated away. That would be a very disturbing message for the people who provide America with intelligence."
Pollard, 59, is a former civilian intelligence analyst. He was convicted of selling American secrets to Israel in the 1980s and was sentenced to life in prison in 1987.
He will be eligible for parole in 2015.

The hills are alive: 'Sound of Music' is gaining on native son Mozart in Salzburg
Ellen Creager, MCT
SALZBURG, Austria — I'm on a bus with 57 other tourists singing "I Am Sixteen Going on Seventeen."
It's fun. Really fun. Well, it's sort of fun. After three hours, I feel like jumping out the window.
"I can't hear you," the tour guide coaxes the mumbling throng. "Sing!"
The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg caters to tourists who yearn to absorb the atmosphere of the movie that was filmed here in 1963.
Salzburg, through the eyes of these fans, has particular charms. Look, here's where Julie Andrews and the children ran around the fountain. This hotel is where actor Christopher Plummer got drunk at night. That mountain where Maria spins around in the opening scene? It is 12 miles from Nonnberg Abbey — she'd never have made it back in time for dinner.
The tour is four hours long. You will not lose the bus. It is loudly painted with scenes from the film and can be seen several blocks away.
But luckily, the schmaltzy decoration and narration are just part of the tour. The upside? Salzburg is so incredibly beautiful that it's a privilege just to be here.
About 1.5 million visitors descend on Salzburg each year, and about 300,000 of those are drawn by "Sound of Music" lore.
The tour takes visitors first to Castle Leopoldskron, which is set on a small, exquisite lake. It is where all the back patio scenes were filmed, and the lake is where Maria and the children tipped into the water. Privately owned, it can be admired only from afar.
Next is Hellbrunn Palace to see the "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" gazebo and the lane where Maria sang "I Have Confidence." Cameras flash! People pose. I actually see a couple skipping.
The bus trundles into the lake district, headed for Mondsee and its cathedral, where the wedding scene was filmed. Even when accompanied by half-hearted choruses of "The Lonely Goatherd," it's a gorgeous drive.
But the most amazing part of the tour is realizing that while foreigners can quote every word of "The Sound of Music" in their sleep, most Austrians have never even seen it.
"Our view is that Mozart is in the first row," Juliane Breyer, spokeswoman for the Landestheater in Salzburg, later says. "It's a parallel world. You can be in Salzburg without being aware of 'The Sound of Music.' Now, it's coming to surface. It's now more present."
Salzburg still is a place where windows are washed, featherbeds are fluffed and children behave. It has nearly 20 Catholic churches. Manners are formal. Dirndls are in style.
But the old town's towering glockenspiel has begun playing a new song. At 3 p.m., the notes rang through the streets, repeating five times, tinkling a certain melody:
"Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me ..."
What is remarkable is that the song is not an old Austrian folk song. Or, as many believe, the national anthem of Austria. Or even familiar to Austrians at all.
It was written in 1959 by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for "The Sound of Music."
And here it was, wafting across the Mozartplatz, right past the statue of Mozart.
It turns out that the new glockenspiel song is tied not to the tours, but to the opening of a new exhibit at Salzburg's Panorama Museum, "The Trapp Family: Reality and 'The Sound of Music,' " which explains the complex story of the real family and how they became legends.
More astonishingly, it also marks the first-ever stage production of "The Sound of Music" in Salzburg, which debuted last year at the Landestheater.
Why didn't a Salzburg theater ever mount the musical before? Why did it take 62 years?

PS3 Wonderbook: Book of Spells
£23 (£60 with Move camera and controller)
Essential for Harry Potter fans, great example of augmented reality being used in the home, high production values, great fun to play through whether child or adult
Of limited appeal to those who don't like the Potter universe, needs some room to play
We have to be honest, when we first clapped eyes on the new official accessory for the Sony PlayStation 3, the Wonderbook, at E3 in June we weren't immediately blown away. It is, after all, simply a 12-page hardback board book with a sequence of slightly different patterns on each leaf.
But that's augmented reality for you. AR targets are often boring QR code-looking shapes that mean little until you point a device at them, in the shape of a smartphone, tablet or handheld games console. In this case, it is the PlayStation 3 Eye Camera which needs to see the book, and the PS3 to be loaded with the software. Only then can the "wonder" happen.
But happen it does, certainly where JK Rowling's Book of Spells is involved. An interactive Harry Potter experience in all but name, it is the first title in a range Sony promises will continue and an ideal retort to cynics who may snort at players waving about a PlayStation Move controller as if it were a wand. It is as magical as its theology.
Book of Spells is not a game as such, but there is plenty to interact with as you progress through the adventure. It is jam-packed with Potter mythology and offers a child - or adult, in our case, as we got as much from it - as close to the feeling of being a student at Hogwarts as you can really get sitting cross-legged in front of a TV screen.
Each double-page spread of the Wonderbook is turned into a vista of interesting stories, spell recipes and challenges as you progress. And all of the spells themselves are the same as you will have read about in Rowling's novels or seen in the Warner Bros movie equivalents. A very pleasant narration guides you through and teaches you the movements needed to successfully cast them and there are plenty of on-screen objects to act as guinea pigs with which to do so.
There are 20 spells in total, which span over five chapters, and as there's plenty of animated shenanigans you can get up to, that's a lot of play time. Those worried about its longevity because of its obvious limitations – it can only be as long as the Wonderbook's number of AR triggers will allow – need ask themselves of the longevity of a pop-up book, say, or favoured board game. Perhaps this is where its appeal differs between children and adults, but repetition is a positive element when younger kids are involved, so we can't see a problem.
There's also plenty of other content too. The animated stories, for example, are well-told, fairly lengthy and involve basic interaction. At the beginning of the experience you get to choose which one of the Hogwarts houses you wish to belong to - Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and, for the naughtier kiddies, Slytherin - so that will also add variety to later revisits. And the chapters throughout are based in different areas of the school, so you might want to go back to an area you particularly enjoyed, and you can go backwards through the book once you've completed each section.
Wonderbook: Book of Spells is an ideal example of how augmented reality can work as an entertainment tool when implemented correctly. You may be sitting on a rug in front of the telly, with an oversized and illegible tome resting in front, waving a lighted ping pong ball around and shouting "Wingardium Leviosa" at the screen, but the action on it rewards your endeavours with exciting and interesting effects.
Few other uses of AR have worked in the games world. The PS Vita has a few titles that offer promise, but ultimately require a lot of set up for little pay off. And the iPhone, iPad, Android devices and the like are only in the early days of making it a useful rather than casual tool.
Here, Book of Spells only works because of the augmented reality and its success will provoke others to follow a similar route. Sony has even revealed tie-ins with Disney and the BBC for future titles, so clearly has faith in its product. And don't forget, you only need buy the Wonderbook once. It's like the Singstar of, er, sitting about waving things.
Of course, you will need a PlayStation 3 Eye Camera and a Move Controller for it to work, but you can buy a pack that includes them alongside the book and "game" for £60. The Wonderbook and JK Rowling's Book of Spells are available without the extra peripherals for a very reasonable £23.
We may have been sceptical initially, but this is one instance where we certainly don't mind being proved wrong.
Either that or Sony has cast a Confundus spell on us. Hmmm…

Overnight stay
Stayed one night at Elm Crest while visiting friends.
The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The property was built in the 1860s by wealthy mill owners and the proprietors have kept a sense of that era with the decor and furnishings. The bed was comfortable and the en-suite room had all the facilities you would need. It was located in the attic so lots of stairs to climb.

Resistin / Fizz3 Expression in Relation to Obesity and Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ Action in Humans

- Stephen O'Rahilly1

- 2Department of Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana
Recent studies in murine models suggest that resistin (also called Fizz3 [1]), a novel cysteine-rich protein secreted by adipocytes, may represent the long-sought link between obesity and insulin resistance (2). Furthermore, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) agonists appear to inhibit resistin expression in murine adipocytes, providing a possible explanation for the mode of action of this class of insulin sensitizers (2). Using a fluorescent real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction–based assay, we found that resistin mRNA levels in whole adipose tissue samples were increased in morbidly obese humans compared with lean control subjects. However, in freshly isolated human adipocytes, resistin mRNA levels were very low and showed no correlation with BMI. Resistin mRNA was undetectable in preadipocytes, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells, but it was readily detectable in circulating mononuclear cells. Although exposure of human mononuclear cells to PPAR-γ agonists markedly upregulated fatty acid–binding protein-4 expression, these agents had no effect on mononuclear cell resistin expression. Finally, resistin mRNA was undetectable in adipocytes from a severely insulin-resistant subject with a dominant-negative mutation in PPAR-γ (3). We conclude that the recently described relationships of murine resistin/Fizz3 expression with obesity, insulin resistance, and PPAR-γ action may not readily translate to humans. Further studies of this novel class of proteins are needed to clarify their roles in human metabolism.

Where ever you are...
Here in Baghdad the term "Tourist Trap" takes on a whole new meaning. My advice? Stay off all highways, streets and alleys and especially stay away from hotels, police stations, soldiers and any other high priority target.
Unique Suggestions: If you must drive, drive fast. Don't let local cars butt into your convoy. Do not drive over or near ANYTHING-it could be a bomb. This includes dead animals, potholes, guardrails, man-hole covers and other cars (moving or stationary).
Everyone is out to ambush YOU until proven otherwise.
Fun Alternatives: Find another job... I did.
- Casino and Gambling
Riding a Camel
Riding a camel can be quite expensive in Iraq: up to/from $20.
Think carefully if you really want to have that service available in many places in the south.
- Budget Travel
- Work Abroad
- Road Trip
Get inside Saddam's Hand
If you give $5 to the local Iraqi guy "guarding" the parade field, you can climb up inside the hand.
Unique Suggestions: I got into the hand for $2, so feel free to haggle!

October 1, 2015 - The team has been on a three race span with the NHRA's Real Pro Mod Association beginning in Indy, then Charlotte and finally St. Louis. "The first couple races we struggled getting the combination right between our car and the new motor package. Together we worked hard, learned a lot and walked away feeling like it's beginning to pay off," said Team Manager Heather Capano.
At Gateway Motorsports Park, over this past weekend, the Split crew ran a new career best (5.92 ET) and achieved our goal of qualifying for the event. "This is only the second of nine races this season that we've made the field. It's not for lack of effort. This class is competitive and we've constantly got to keep working toward the next level," Heather said.
