They also seem to love Halloween Horror Nights. Although I've never been, it seems that every second guest they interview at the event is from the U.K. Can anyone comment on this?
I can't imagine visiting IOA at a busy time of year. I'm so used to visiting in late April, early May, and early September when virtually all the rides are walk-ons and I don't need to pay $280/night for a hotel room. IOA has some terrific rides, but unlike its neighbour at Universal, the queues are uninteresting (save for a couple).
Good report! Can't wait to hear your opinions on Mythos and the south side.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 8:33 AMI'm wondering how Harry Potter will affect Universal's attendance during the rest of the year - if crowds will increase during those periods to the point where rides won't be a walk-on anymore.
Remember that Harry Potter depressed Universal's attendance for the past two-plus years, making the park an easy visit for most of the year. But Potter's here now, so I think that Universal's days with ultra-short wait times will be much harder to find going forward.
With students returning to school over the next month, we'll soon see.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 8:39 AMInteresting. You said, "The ride stalled for a moment just before we reached the dragon scene". Early on I had read that due to the complex, timed system used to control the ride that even a small glitch that stopped the ride required everything on the ride to be reset and the ride to be evacuated and restarted. Maybe they've ironed out some of the problems that caused mass failure.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 9:00 AMI love the Royal Pacific. When we arrive we like to drop the bags in the room and get ourselves down to Jack's for a beer and a pu-pu platter while we plan our day. The staff are great, the rooms good and you have the option of either walking along the scenic waterway to the Parks or taking the complimentary boat. Both are good. Did I say I loved it here ?
Also it wasn't so long ago that people in the US would ask me to repeat something I'd said because they found my english accent so unusual/ funny / different.
But nowadays we Brits are with you in ever increasing numbers which, apart from the revenue bonus, probably isn't such a good thing................
That may change though with the charge for ESTA ( US Visa ) and a departure tax by our own Govt too just to leave the UK.
We might become a rarity again because we won't be able to afford the trip.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 9:59 AMI will be there sometime during the week of 9/3 - 9/11. I know I will be going, I just am not sure on the order of how we will do things down there.
I went during this week last year and walked on everything everywhere I went.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 10:40 AMSame Thing Happened to Me When I Went But Still Worth It
Published: August 11, 2010 at 12:49 PMHi Robert Just watched your report on Wizarding world of Harry Potter and it looks great Good Job! But as a Brit I feel I must point out one minor error, your pronunciation of Cornish Pasties We don't have Cornish Paste -ies we have Cornish Pass - ties. Lots of love to you and the family from Samantha in Engalnd
Published: August 11, 2010 at 1:27 PMUgh. Yeah, I know about that one. I recorded the voice-over reading from my script rather, uh, late in the evening, and didn't catch it until I watched the piece after sleeping, the next day. My bad. Apologies to my friends in the UK for butchering their (our?) language.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 2:38 PMI am glad you enjoyed it. Did yhou try out the single riders line on HPFJ?
Published: August 11, 2010 at 2:40 PMAlso, I have to disagree on the butterbeer. I found the non-frozen way too sweet!
Published: August 11, 2010 at 3:48 PMI enjoyed your note about Poseidon. For me, it has quickly become a campy attraction, so bad in its presentation that it's funny and, therefore, worth visiting. The ending battle scene is so unbelievably cheesy that it puts a smile on my face. I feel like they should embrace the self-referential humor and have Poseidon finish with, "It is done! Now go, quickly, to the gift shop - you are under the protection of Poseidon!"
People these days are used to seeing raw action, whether it's MMA fighting or 3D CGI planets being destroyed. A couple of bad actors slowly swinging swords on a screen is not going to impress many people.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 6:44 PMRobert:
Your mention about the quality of film/video for Poseidon is not unlike what I experienced today at Kings Dominion. We went on the SpongeBob attraction. Not only was the 3D technology outdated, but the right half of the screen was darker than the left.
Trip report coming soon.
Published: August 11, 2010 at 8:28 PMI wish I had run into you at IOA. Tuesday we started at Universal, and just hopped over to IOA after the 8pm close.
And we did one thing only -- HPFJ. It was a 90-minute ride, partly because it broke down while we were in the castle. We decided since we were tired, and knew we wanted to walk through the castle at least once, that we'd do the regular line rather then single-rider. We started at 8:40, and finished just after 10pm, but the ride was way cool.
I will say that we are having no problem with USF/IOA without room keys or fast passes. We've waited in some long lines, waited in some short lines, done the single-rider thing, and almost had a hookup for a quick trip to the front of one ride because we were Dr. Who geeks (ride broke when we came to partake of that offer).
Sure, it's annoying to see people just moving up to the front, but we had 4 days to enjoy the park and the queues seem to be part of the fun.
We did ride Mummy several times in a row in single-rider, and another time today, and RRRocket was also a quick trip.
But my trip would have been perfect if I had run into you at HP. (BTW, we also waited in line and ate at 3pm at 3 broomsticks, and I agree the fish and chips was the best).
Published: August 11, 2010 at 8:33 PMWealthy indeed. I know he paid at least a couple hundy a night for the Breakers at Cedar Point...not including the tickets and everything else of course.
Good to know that Universal is taking it easy on their food prices. Have they maintained the quality of their food? Last time I was there it was some of the best I'd ever had at a theme park.
Published: August 12, 2010 at 6:38 AMLet's not forget that we're doing this trip in a Prius. No airfare, no bag fees and great gas mileage. Plus, we're staying with friends and relatives for the most part, with a few hotel nights scattered in between - which I write about here.
Point is, you can splurge on a few special things on a vacation if you economize effectively elsewhere. Mix one night at a Universal hotel with other nights in El Cheapo Motel, for example, and you can get two days of front-of-line access for a family of four while not breaking the bank on hotel costs.
And, believe me, plenty of other people are paying $280-plus to stay at the Universal hotels. WWoHP was packed with hotel guests in that first hour.
Let's look at this from another direction, too. At $70 per person for the Universal Express passes, we got the front-of-line and early Potter access for four for $280... and one night in a four-star hotel for free.
Published: August 12, 2010 at 8:42 AMExcellent review and excellent little tour! You got a voice for television!
I was very suprised to read that you can't use the front of the line pass for some attractions, including Harry Potter. I think that is a huge misstep because it would cause, in my opinion, more people staying at the Universal resorts. Maybe they are already packed. However, you did get to enter early.
Published: August 12, 2010 at 10:00 AMI am not arguing with your logic, Robert, you make a sound point about the added value of the Express Pass with your resort reservation.
However, that same room (w/ that same Express Pass) in the off-season will run at least $60 - $80 less (rack rates), and if you utilize the "Stay More, Save More" option, you can get an insanely low rate of about $130/night.
Time to start home schooling, then you can travel in early May and September when prices are low, and crowds a non-factor!
Published: August 12, 2010 at 10:26 AMI won't be surprised to see the "single rider" line for FJ become the Express line next year, after the initial buzz subsides. I'm guessing that Rip, Ride, Rockit will get an Express line around the same time.
Flyers won't ever go Express due to the insanely low capacity for that ride.
I'll be interested in seeing how attendance patterns change at Universal Orlando over the next year. I suspect that some periods that saw little or no crowds before will see significant lines now that Potter's bringing crowds back to the resort. But which periods and for how long remains to be seen.
Published: August 12, 2010 at 8:52 PMNice review. We went on Tuesday and this afternoon. The Forbidden Journey was incredible- though, and I haven't seen this anywhere, it could make you queezy like simulator rides (a little to me the first time and a lot to my wife). On Tuesday, by mid-day there was an hour plus line just to enter the Harry Potter "land" and long lines just to enter some of the shops. For some reason we were charged a whopping $6.25 for Pumpkin Juice for a vendor, though only $2.99 in the Hog's Head restaurant (which does a pretty nice job). The trifle was excellent and not unreasonably priced. At night the detail of Hogsmeade really comes alive. The steam from the Hogwart Express, the shop windows, castle details, etc. I would strongly recommend coming when school is in session as I can't see the crowds letting up for at least two years (the attraction is so good, word of mouth will drive the next set of visitors).
Also, agree with the benefit from staying at an on-site hotel. If you are on a short trip, the time saved not waiting in line makes the cost worthwhile (though, I'm talking more about $100-$150/night, not the $280 mentioned). Last year I took my son (pre-HP), and we dodged big lines and did almost every ride in both parks in one day thanks to the pass (and didn't feel like we rushed).
Published: August 12, 2010 at 9:00 PMWe were at the WWOHP on Tuesday, 8/10. I agree with all of your points, with one addition. Wait times at Ollivanders were stated at a "hard 1 1/2 - 2 hours" by the staff member standing in front of the queue. She added that "the wait is for a 1 in 30 chance of being chosen by a wand." We had visited the park on Monday as well and ridden FJ & Dragon Challenge, ate at The Three Broomsticks, etc; all that was left was Ollivanders, so we got in line. Much to our surprise, we were through the line, saw the 10 minute wand selection skit inside the shop, and purchased our wands in 70 minutes total! If the line ends inside of the gated area, definitely ignore the time warning and get in line. You'll be in the shop in 35-45 minutes. Overall my family loved the park, although the extra touches that only Disney could offer (mainly staff "in character") were missing. However, in the end, we were too busy gawking at the castle and sipping frozen Butterbeer (our collective favorite!) to really care! Safe travels...
Published: August 13, 2010 at 5:44 AMHPFJ actually already has a built-in Express line, it's just not being used yet. Its behind the start to the regular queue, has its own Portrait Gallery scene, and then comes up into Dumbledore's office (did you notice the second queue row in there? that's it).
Question: Robert, you said you wandered through the shops in the morning. So they didn't have lines yet? If those didn't materialize until midday, then that's a change. I was there opening week and everything had about an hour wait all day long. Ollivander's was more like two hours.
Published: August 14, 2010 at 2:29 AMWell as a brit who has been over the universal 3 times in the last few years, yes, you will hear a lot of british accents. However, the travel companies have pushed wizarding world to ridiculous levels here, it has been on every news channel, every kids show and every holiday programme, so if you didn't know about it, you probably do now.
As the exchange rate is still not as good as it once was for us brits, I think that's an amazing achievement to fill out the parks with the current recession and a sign that universal really does know how to make great theme parks.
Now all we need is a Universal UK resort. We have some great space around Pinewood, great theming to go off and if they can create a lot of indoor attractions, this could be an all year, all weather resort - c'mon universal, I know you have considered it before, but perhaps its time for a fresh look?
Published: August 16, 2010 at 4:52 PMWe were at IOA last Monday and Tuesday as well.Based on a friend's recommendation we too stayed at the Royal Pacific. Paid $325 for 5 adults for one night-room could not really accomodate 5 but we arrived Monday morning at 7:15 and were at Harry Potter by 8-were able to return to the room and rest during the heat of the afternoon before returning to the park-used the large pool late at night and then back to the parks by 8 Tuesday morning-using Express both days we were able to ride everything we wanted plus any attractions we wanted-multiple times if we decided. We finally left the parks in the early evening and were charged for just one day of parking-$15. I was reluctant to spend the money for the room until I called and discovered that we would get 2 days of early entry and Express for both days-this made it worthwhile. Only 3 of us actually used the room at night but I was able to provide my sister with the 2 extra keys so she could receive the perks. We were also able to dine at HRC and Margaritaville at CityWalk the 2 nights. Also enjoyed the fish and chips at 3 Broomsticks. Later in the week we visited Epcot and really enjoyed the new pizzeria-read about the opening on your website the day we were flying out. The pizza was very light and not greasy-1 large fed the three of us.

I have owned over 20 vehicles and my 1991 prelude is one of the best to drive. Handles amazing and is all around excellent. Only complaint would be my automatic transmission shifts a little hard.
i love my honda prelude si h23 with 4 ws...it has a coolant leak, and a couple oil leaks.... i really want to keep it but im a female that is only slightly mechanically inclined.... the four wheel steering turns off and the car starts to act slightly sluggish when its really hot outside... the car is so amazing when its a cold day outside, 4ws works it runs brand new can it be the oil leaks and the coolant leak.,.... i would love to keep the car its the best car ive drivin,,,, - woman who loves her prelude???
My 1995 Honda Prelude brake lights and blinkers will not work when my headlights are on. I really enjoy this car...love the body style and interior. I have only had this car for 2 months.
Ok, Almost a year later, after buying my 2000 Prelude(base model),my 2nd Honda...I made a second trip back in June (2011) back home to Ohio! I Drove my Prelude to & thru Nashville,TN (to visit & have dinner with Steve(& his wife),the man I baught it from), then up to S.Ohio, then upto N.Ohio! Round-trip...I ended up putting almost 2,700 miles on it, and she was fantastic! Air & cc worked beautifully! The body has 167,000 miles, and only about 6,000 on the rebuilt motor! Great cars!!! Thanks! Don, TX
Im new to owning a Prelude, about three months now! I'd recently flew to Nashville,TN to look at, drive and eventually buy the 2000 Honda Prelude that I currently own! The man I purchased it from was UNbelievable, and I wish we were nieghbors, but I was very happy with it, and afterwards I was nervous about it, simply because it was a car I had never owned before, and had approx 2000 miles to put on her til I got back to TX. Needless to say, she rund and drives beautifully and so far with no problems! This'll make my second owning of any foreign car, and it doesnt look good for the domestics for me, in the future! Thank you Honda, AND thank you Steve, for a wonderful car!! Don, TX
I have only driven this car for a few months so hopefully I can change this rating when I know more about the car.
Obviously, I love my 98 Prelude SH since I bought it new and put over 200K miles on it. It's fast and handles very well.
That said, I've experience the majority of the "common problems" listed by RepairPal... could be because I've had the car for over a decade though.

Just drive one!
Ive got a 89 prelude and the car is a Beast!
Engine could have been the 3.2l vtec
This is A sweet car to have and will soon be A collectors item?
260,000 miles and I still drive it daily. Best car I've ever owned. Don't buy a new car. Find a babied Prelude, not modified, adult owned. They are out there!
It has had the usual stuff done for repair and maintenence and I change the oil every 3-4000 miles. I have the VTEC.

Pennsylvania lawmakers take more free, legal trips
U.S. House members from Pennsylvania and their staffs accepted 41 privately paid trips this year, ranging from $20,000 in business-class airline tickets to Japan for Rep. Charlie Dent and his wife to $300-a-night hotel rooms for congressional staff at a Las Vegas casino resort.
The Associated Press reviewed gift and travel records on the House clerk's website. The House Ethics Committee this month quietly eliminated a Watergate-era requirement that lawmakers reveal trips on personal financial forms, reasoning that fuller data are kept on file with the clerk. The requirement was reinstated because watchdog groups complained.
House members must get committee approval before the trip and file detailed information within 15 days of returning.
The increase in privately funded travel by members of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation, from 17 in 2008 to 47 in 2013, tracks a steady increase in the House as a whole, from 1,012 in 2008 to 1,685 last year.
The current travel rules were put in place in 2007 upon the conviction of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who showered lawmakers and their staffs with favors.
"The era of potential big-money influence is back," said Craig Holman of Public Citizen, who advises Congress and states on campaign finance laws.
Among other members of the delegation, Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, took four trips valued at $16,123, including a visit last month with his wife to Poland costing $12,506.
Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming, and Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, sent staff members to the Consumer Electronics Association trade show in Las Vegas in January. They stayed near the trade show at the Wynn casino resort, where a room cost more than $300 per night.
In 2013, Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-Sewickley, accepted a trip to the Club for Growth's winter conference on fiscal conservatism, which included $450-per-night rooms at The Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Fla.
A spokesman for Rothfus, Edward Yap, said the congressman's trips were approved by the ethics committee.
In the Senate, where ethics rules are generally the same, Sen. Pat Toomey's office took 14 trips in 2013 and 2014 worth about $12,000 while Bob Casey's office took two. Two of the trips were taken by Toomey himself — one to the Club for Growth conference in Palm Beach in 2013 at a cost of $1,819, and the other a trip that he and wife took to Sea Island, Ga., this year paid for by the American Enterprise Institute, valued at $1,327. Both of Casey's trips were taken by his staff to Philadelphia and Warrenton, Va., at a cost of $1,100.

South Korean Rapper's 'Gangnam Style' Video Goes Viral
While South Korea this week has been obsessed about collecting more gold medals than countries much bigger than it in the Summer Olympics, a considerable slice of the U.S. blogosphere has been obsessed with Psy's new video "Gangnam Style."
Psy, or Park Jae-sang, has been around for more than a decade. His new album, PSY 6, is his first in two years. And the first video from it was released on July 15 after a big build-up.
On "Gangnam Style," Psy raps about the ideal girlfriend – one who is a smart and conscientious during the day and sexy and fun at night: "A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays. A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes. A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all."
During the key lyric in the video, Psy's background dancers turn to reveal that their plain-looking white blouses have a revealing backside.
The song's chorus – "Oppa Gangnam style" – is a simple, catchy and repetitive hook. But what makes the video so memorable is Psy's horse-riding dance move, which resembles a guy trying to appear cool on the dance floor of a wedding reception and not quite pulling it off.
The 34-year-old rapper moves through various Gangnam neighborhoods and scenes, from parks along the Han river to tourist buses and private saunas. It has none of the self-seriousness of many K-pop dance videos.
Comedians Yoo Jae-seok and No Hong-chul make cameos with their own dance moves. As an elevator opens, Psy lies on his stomach and elbows rapping beneath No who pulls off the pelvic-thrusting moves that became his trademark. (He did the same moves for Paris Hilton on a Korean TV show a few years ago.)
The video builds to an encounter between Psy and Hyun-a, one of the singers from 4Minute, in a car on the new subway line 9, which goes through Gangnam. The billiard-ball blouse she wears in the video instantly sold out from the Darling You boutique in Sinsa-dong.
The song currently tops the Korean sales and download charts. And the video has been viewed nearly 12 million times so far on YouTube.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly how or why Psy's video took off among America's online hipsters. A tweet by rapper T-Pain on Sunday no doubt has a lot to do with it. "Words cannot even describe how amazing this video is," he wrote.
By midweek, Psy was being talked about on Reddit and Gawker. Even political commentator Andrew Sullivan offered up the video as his daily "mental health break" to readers.
Perhaps, there's no other reason to explore the American curiosity about — or popularity of — the video beyond the simple eloquence of Mr. Sullivan's explanation: "Everyone needs a little Korean hip-hop now and again."

After all that rich December food you might've thought that January's Restaurant Roundup would be Canada's best salads. Maybe… but that just seemed a bit dull and really, what you want in January is some good old comfort food. So let's check out a Canadian staple this month with our intrepid Restaurant Roundup Crew, who each chose their best pick for poutine in their city. Let's get to it:
Canada's Best Poutine
We're going West to East this month. Does Quebec really do it best or do we have a contender in Vancouver?
Vancouver's Best Poutine
Sean Neild sends us to La Belle Patate in Vancouver for a little poutine.
Vancouver is known for its healthy cuisine but one thing we do love here is poutine. If you looking to experience an authentic taste of Québécois cuisine you need to stop in to La Belle Patate. What makes these guys my favorite is the squeaky cheese curds that are flown in from Montreal on a weekly basis, the Montreal Smoked Meat Poutine is a must try and my personal favorite.
Read all of Sean's review of La Belle Patate
Calgary's Best Poutine
Next stop is Calgary and Dan Clapson's pick at Bistro 2210
I don't want to say I'm 'over' poutine, because any self-respecting Canadian will have a place in their heart for this rich dish, but it's definitely been used and abused on menus these past couple years. I'm not into the 'Let's throw 1000 ingredients on top of fries and a call it a poutine; movement. Keep it simple and keep it good. Here in Calgary, Bistro 2210 does a beautiful Duck Confit Poutine with a rich, silky gravy, just enough cheese curds and a healthy dose of tender duck meat. Poutine has never looked so sexy.
Dan's review of Bistro 2210's Poutine
Winnipeg's Best Poutine
In Winnipeg, Kathryne Grism chose Promenade Cafe and Wine
And what did she have to say about it?
Love – that is all.
Doesn't get much better than that! Read Kathryne's full review of Promenade's Poutine
Toronto's Best Poutine
We're moving further east now, closer to those amazing cheese curds… let's check in with Stella Yu at Poutini's in Toronto
With a short and straight forward menu, Poutini's House of Poutine does it best by keeping their poutine simple. There is no fuss, no frills. Poutini's Traditional Poutine manages to knock my socks off every, single time. Even Anthony Boudain paid Poutini's a visit in his recent episode of The Layover. 'Nuff said!'
See all of Stella's review for Poutini
Waterloo's Best Poutine
Time to meet the newest member of our Restaurant Roundup Crew – Andrew Coppolino from Waterloo Region Eats. He's introducing us to The Crazy Canuck.
Rare is the person who doesn't like poutine: it is, I think, nearly impossible to not give in to the lure of hot fries, dripping salty gravy, and squidgy cheese curds. In Waterloo Region, poutine has a decidedly firm grip—from chains and diners to finer restaurants who recognize the potential palette it represents to your palate. Waterloo's The Crazy Canuck—a "You Gotta Eat Here" alumnus, incidentally—is one such venue that understands poutine's earthy, workmanlike station but who are not afraid to challenge the dish and we who eat it. It an innovative touch they have, but a controlled one in terms of flavours and technique. And ultimately it is also a fun touch: and that Prime Minister Poutine is what this dish is all about.
Read the rest of Andrew's review of the Crazy Canuck
National Capital Region's Best Poutine
Well, some say Ottawa's poutine rivals anything you'll find in Quebec – let's check in with Done Chow at Vite Vite Patates Frites
Poutine was invented somewhere in Quebec. Specifically "where" is still debated. "What" is poutine, however, has been defined, at least in La Belle Province: "a heap of crispy French fries topped by a handful of cheddar (cheese) curds, and a chicken (sometimes veal) based sauce."
So, we chose to include Vite Vite Patates Frites's (61 Rue Wellington) poutine-take on chili cheese fries. It has all of the characteristics and a tomato-based ground meat chili ($6.50). This is a poutine that eats like a meal.
Quebec City's Best Poutine
Time to move into Poutine's homeland – Quebec. Choosing Chez Ashton must have been a tough decision for Marie Asselin.
The Québecois love to fight about who makes the best poutine and I have come to realize that one's favorite is often the poutine he or she grew up with. In my case, it's Chez Ashton's. Although it's a restaurant chain, it sets itself apart by making everything to order and sourcing ingredients locally, making their poutine the favorite of nine out of ten Quebec City natives. Many restaurants around the city offer fancier variations of the dish, but because Chez Ashton makes an excellent traditional version with fresh and homemade ingredients, I think it's the ideal place to sample this quintessential Québécois dish.
Check out Marie's full review of Chez Ashton's poutine.
Montreal's Best Poutine
Now let's join Jason Lee and his contending pick for Quebec's best poutine in Montreal – Poutineville
Poutine is as synonymous with Montreal as Celine Dion, smoked meat and 24 Stanley cups. When in Montreal the go-to spot for poutine is Poutineville (3 locations) – where you can build your own custom made poutine from a list of toppings and ingredients. Mathematical breakdown of Poutineville; by chosing one of four types of potatoes, one of three types of sauces and a mix and match of 33 toppings. 4 * 3 * (2^33) = 103,079,215,104 different poutine possibilities!

TORONTO — Oak Leaf Confections, a leading supplier of ball gum and other confectionary vendibles, has announced the reintroduction of Nerds Gumballs to its product line. A longtime favorite in the bulk vending industry, Oak Leaf acquired the rights to manufacture the brand after Nestlé's Willy Wonka Candy Factory division decided to discontinue it.
The product, a 700-ct. gumball filled with the popular Nerds candy, will be marketed as "Oak Leaf Gumballs made with Real Wonka Nerds." As with the original product, outer shell flavors include lemon, orange, cherry, lime and grape.
"Nestlé discontinued it back in the summer, and there was such a cry from the bulk vending trade that they actually went back and produced more, then discontinued the product forever," said Oak Leaf's marketing manager, Howard Granner. "So now we have an agreement with Nestlé that we will make the product and have the sole rights to sell it in the U.S. and Canada, strictly for the vending trade."
According to Granner, Nestlé will continue selling Nerds in the traditional format.
"The product was available and then wasn't available, which was frustrating for the operator," Granner said. "But now it will be available, guaranteed, on an everyday basis."

The OB-fold is a diverse structure superfamily based on a β-barrel motif that is often supplemented with additional non-conserved secondary structures. Previous deletion mutagenesis and NMR hydrogen exchange studies of three OB-fold proteins showed that the structural stabilities of sites within the conserved β-barrels were larger than sites in non-conserved segments. In this work we examined a database of 80 representative domain structures currently classified as OB-folds, to establish the basis of this effect. Residue-specific values were obtained for the number of Cα-Cα distance contacts, sequence hydrophobicities, crystallographic B-factors, and theoretical B-factors calculated from a Gaussian Network Model. All four parameters point to a larger average flexibility for the non-conserved structures compared to the conserved β-barrels. The theoretical B-factors and contact densities show the highest sensitivity. Our results suggest a model of protein structure evolution in which novel structural features develop at the periphery of conserved motifs. Core residues are more resistant to structural changes during evolution since their substitution would disrupt a larger number of interactions. Similar factors are likely to account for the differences in stability to unfolding between conserved and non-conserved structures.
The three-dimensional structures of proteins underlie their functions. In spite of the growing number of structures available, the processes by which proteins fold remain poorly understood. What constitutes a protein fold – is a fold a distinct entity representative of a group of structures, or part of a continuum of similarity interrelationships [
The OB-fold is a common structural motif originally identified as an
Aside from relatively minor variation in the conserved β-barrel framework, many OB-fold proteins contain additional non-conserved structures [
Here we extended the work by comparing the properties of conserved and non-conserved secondary structures within the entire superfamily of OB-fold proteins. We looked at 80 representatives of the 95 domain structures classified as OB-folds in the September 2007 version of the SCOP database [
The length distributions of secondary structures and intervening loops in the OB-fold motifs are summarized in the box plot shown in Figure
Notable exceptions to the trends are the loop L34 and to a lesser extent the first β-strand. Loop L34 is significantly longer (ρ < 0.001). Its length is probably a consequence of the need to traverse the distance from the C-terminus of the β1–3 meander to the N-terminus of the β4–5 hairpin on the other side of the β-barrel structure (Figure
The other exception, strand β1, has a significantly larger mean length than the other strands. The N-terminus of β1 pairs with β4 and the C-terminus with β2. To satisfy pairing with both strands, β1 needs a conserved bend (Figure
We looked at pair-wise β-strand length correlations in the representative domains. The lengths of most strands were significantly correlated (ρ ≤ 0.008). As expected, the lengths of strands connected within the β-sheet (e.g. β1-β2, β4-β5) are similar to satisfy hydrogen-bonded pairing. The exceptions of strands with uncorrelated lengths were β2-β4, β2-β5, and β3-β4. These strands come from separate sheets and do not directly hydrogen bond. The lack of a significant correlation for these pairs suggests that the β-meander and β-hairpin components of the β-barrel have a degree of structural independence. In this regard it is interesting to note that experimental studies support the ability of the β-3 meander component of the structure to fold independently of the β4–5 hairpin under some conditions [
We and others [
The contact density data for each domain was subjected to normalization to a range between 0 and 1 [
The values in Table
Amino acid sequence hydrophobicites were calculated with a Kyte-Doolittlte scale [
We next looked at theoretical B-factors calculated from a Gaussian Network Model of protein dynamics. The Gaussian Network Model [
Of the four parameters we considered, the Btheory factors from the Gaussian Network Model provided the strongest discrimination between conserved and non-conserved structures in the database of OB-fold domains (Figure
The strongest exceptions are proteins that have extensive amounts of non-conserved structure comparable in size to the conserved OB-fold β-barrel (e.g. 1jb7B, 1ueaB, 1br9). These proteins start to resemble multiple domain proteins, or new folds that include the OB-motif as an ancillary component of a larger structure. Additional exceptions are seen at the edges of long β-strands that extend far from the β-barrel core (e.g. 1br9, 1cuk, 1dgs).
Crystallographic B-factors are the poorest discriminators of conserved from non-conserved structures amongst the four parameters considered in this work (Figure
We wanted to see if there were additional experimental parameters that could distinguish conserved from non-conserved motifs in OB-fold proteins. Previously we noted correlations between experimental stability data and structural parameters for the three OB-fold proteins CspA [
A number of other OB-fold proteins have been studied by NMR although these investigations were primarily aimed at structure determination. Consequently, data on stability and dynamics are rather limited. In our 15N relaxation studies of SN we noted that the consensus substrate binding loops L12, L34, and L45 (black in Figure
Limited hydrogen exchange (HX) data are also available for some OB-fold proteins. Typically the HX data were used to identify hydrogen-bond restraints for structure calculations rather than for quantitative studies of structural stability. For N-TIMP1 it was noted that HX protection was strong for the OB-fold β-barrel but entirely missing for two non-conserved α-helices outside the OB-fold [
In summary, NMR hydrogen exchange data for at least six types of OB-fold proteins appear to be consistent with a stability hierarchy in which the conserved β-barrel motif is the most resistant to unfolding but there is a need to substantiate this conclusion with more systematic and quantitative studies. Information on stability and dynamics may prove as valuable in discerning evolutionary relationships amongst proteins as data on protein amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures.
Our results indicate that the conserved β-barrel motifs of OB-fold domains are richer in hydrophobic residues and have larger numbers of inter-residue contacts than the non-conserved structures. The conserved motifs also tend to have smaller experimental and theoretical B-factors (Table
At this time we do not know if the differences between conserved and non-conserved structures found in this study represent a general feature of globular protein folds. An important control is to rule out an intrinsic bias in contact densities between α-helices and β-sheets. This could occur because of intrinsic geometric differences between the two types of structures such as the arrangements of Cα atoms in approximately flat planes in β-sheets and around a cylinder in an α-helix. As previously mentioned the parameters we looked at are interrelated, so that a bias in contact density for a given type of secondary structure could also affect other parameters such as the theoretical B-factors. To investigate the possibility of bias in contact densities between α-helix and β-sheet structures we looked at 30 high-quality X-ray structures of proteins with 10 each from all-α folds, all-β folds, and folds containing both α-helices and β-sheets (detailed in the Experimental section). We compiled un-normalized statistics and found that with our 10 Å Cα-Cα distance threshold the average number of contacts was 19.6 ± 4.8 for 1,017 residues in β-sheet structures compared to 17.5 ± 4.9 for 1,273 residues in α-helix structures. For comparison, Table
Our results appear to be consistent with members of the OB-fold superfamily having originated from an ancestral β-barrel motif that diversified its function by developing novel structural features. Structural augmentations could have been used to supplement specificity onto a rudimentary oligomer-binding function - for example to distinguish between tRNA and DNA oligonucleotides. The alternative convergent mechanism, where the β-barrel motif could have become incorporated into a pre-existing structure to play a functional or structural role seems less likely given that the β-barrel usually corresponds to the main component of the structures. It is nevertheless not possible to rule out the possibility of convergent evolution in particular instances. The flexibility of the substrate binding loops suggested by NMR 15N relaxation studies, for example seems consistent with a convergent role. Although the conclusion that the OB-fold domains derived from an initially simple β-barrel motif that captured additional structural elements is attractive, the alternative of a complex motif that lost structural elements is also plausible in light of the fact that many of the OB-fold domains have the αOB α-helix between strands 3 and 4 missing (Figure
The modular arrangement of structure seen for OB-fold proteins could result in partially folded states. These would be strongly selected against during evolution since they could lead to alternative structures and to protein misfolding. This selective pressure, however, may need to be balanced against the requirement of minimizing the disruption to pre-existing structure. The reconciliation between these opposing forces when incomplete, could account for the stability differences between conserved and non-conserved structures. Support for this idea comes from the observation that the modularity of structure as determined by contact densities or B-factors starts to break down when the conserved OB-fold β-barrel is no longer the main part of the structure. In these cases the complement of the structure can afford a sufficiently large hydrophobic core to ensure the viability of the protein even when the OB-fold part of the structure is substantially altered. Eventually, the changes in the OB-fold module could become so extensive and the motif so integrated into the overall folding topology that the resulting structure is more properly classified as a separate fold. The balance between the need to develop new structural features and the need to maintain stable structural foundations could have resulted in the punctuation of the protein structure continuum with recurrent motifs that we have come to recognize as 'protein folds'.
The work presented shows that the structures of OB-fold proteins are arranged in a hierarchic fashion. The modularity of structure is apparent in the distinct structure and sequence properties of the β-barrel when it coexists with other secondary structures as part of a domain (Figures
The database of 80 unique OB-fold domains was created using the September 2007 release of the SCOP fold classification [
Of the 95 domains classified as OB-fold motifs in SCOP, six structures (1CKM, 1HR0, 1J5E_L, 1J5E_Q, 1MIU, 1X9N) were discarded because of low resolution and/or errors, including two structures that had a knot in the main-chain (1X9N and 1CKM). These domains were usually part of very large complexes such as ribosomes or nucleosomes and all but 1CKM had crystallographic resolutions ≥ 3 Å. Another nine structures (1H9M, 1K0S, 1NY4, 1H9S, 1OXX, 1RL2, 1KLU, 1TWF, 1V43) were discarded because they are probably not OB-fold structures. Thus 1RL2 has only the three-stranded β-meander component of the OB-fold, 1V43 and 1NY4 have only four of the five β-strands, and 1TWF has six strands. 1OXX, 1K0S, 1H9M and 1H9S have complicated topologies that can be related to the OB-fold through domain duplication and interdigitation to give structures with as many as ten β-strands. There may be subjective reasons based on the functions of the proteins to include them as OB-fold domains, even though structurally they represent rather large excursions. The OB-fold is structurally more similar to the SH3 fold than to the putative duplicated OB-fold topologies. We excluded these structures from our database in order to avoid the well-known Russian Doll effect [
Secondary structures were assigned using the PDBsum server [
The PDB file for each OB-fold domain in our database was run through the oGNM server [
To test whether residues in β-sheets have systematically larger number of Cα-Cα distance contacts than residues in α-helical structure we built a small control database. We first chose all structures in the PDB with resolutions better than 1 Å and R-factors lower than 0.15, for proteins that had between 50 and 250 amino acids. These structures were run through the PDB select server [
Amino acid sequences for OB-fold domains were collated from their respective PDB entries [
Once all four parameters were compiled the data were entered into a spreadsheet and a flag (0 or 1) was used to tag each residue to indicate its participation in a given secondary structure (e.g. strand β3). Sorting of the data according to the flags was used to extract the structure and sequence parameters of different secondary structure types.

" Brand: Palmolive / What it does: Nourishes, "
I rarely visit the pound shop near me, but before Christmas I wanted some boxes of Maltesers as part of my family's Christmas presents so I went along to Pound World to pick up some stocking fillers.
While I was there I ended up getting a lot more than I expected and I spotted this pomegranate swirly soap by Palmolive.
It comes in a pink and white card box with Palmolive Naturals on the front and a picture of a pomegranate and one of the boxes on the shelf was open so I had a look in and the soap was.. well swirly - white and pink coloured and even the boxes that weren't open, you could smell the delicious fruity pomegranate scent.
~ Price ~
The soaps were 2 for £1.00 so I bought one 2, but later went back and bought more and ended up giving one each to nearly all of my family to try.
I have not seen them anywhere else, but Pound World and you can buy them on Amazon, but you have to buy 36 soaps at a time, for £19.99.
They also did a mandarin flavoured one, which I should really have tried out as well, but I loved the pomegranate scent too much.
~ The soap ~
The soap comes in a swirly white a pink bar with 'Palmolive' imprinted into it. It otherwise looks like a normal bar of soap. It is curved at the front and the back of it arches in the middle a bit.
It smells divine. It is really fruity and sweet, but not sickly.
The scent does linger on your skin for a while after using it.
It lathers up really well and it is creamy and luxurious. I have found it is gentle and it doesn't irritate my skin.
I find that most bar soaps leave my skin feeling a bit dry after use and to be fair I don't think this soap is any different, but it is no worse than any other I have used.
~ Conclusion ~
I mainly bought this soap for its pleasant smell and I really love the scent of it. It is sweet, creamy and fruity.
I'd say it is a good bar soap and is one of the more luxurious soaps by a non-premium brand that you can get.
I would definitely buy this soap again. I think it is great for the price.

Brand new mattresses in every bedroom.
This home is walking distance to the beach, as well as the charming downtown of Jamestown, with cafes, highly rated restaurants, shopping, library, and a beautiful marina on Narragansett Bay.
The house is a short drive to historic Newport or take a lovely ferry ride from downtown Jamestown across Narrangansett bay to Newport harbor.
On Jamestown enjoy fun family-friendly summer activities: hike in the Audubon Sanctuary, visit historic Fort Getty Park and Fort Wetherill State Park, bike to Beavertail Lighthouse State Park and visit the lighthouse museum, play golf at the public course, swim in nearby Mackerel Cove, scuba in ocean caves on the island, and bring the kids to visit local Watson Farm and the windmill.
We welcome you to our warm and friendly home to relax and enjoy; sip afternoon tea (or cocktails!) on the porch; walk, bike, run or sail around the island; and soak up the laid-back friendly vibe of beautiful Jamestown.
Reflecting on our time in Jamestown, I realize that this remarkable house has come to represent a kind of distillation of late summer as it ought to be. I still remember the adventure of first seeing the great house behind the high hedge, its casual pile of cornices, windows and chimneys (like the architect was daydreaming a little), and then walking the circular staircase to discover which of all these bedrooms is ours!
In my memory, the house is always full of people, a crowd always in the kitchen eating or making plans for eating or cleaning up (or not) after eating, and groups of 3 and 4 on the veranda, and someone playing the piano and singing, and another gang heading off to the beach. New acquaintances, then friends. The house is the necessary shelter and catalyst for this, a house that invites you into its refuge for comfortable, even intimate living.
The necessities are all there for summer on this scale--the appliances and cutlery and bathrooms and bedrooms and sitting rooms, the wide lawn and the dramatic downslope to the path to the ocean, the places to sit for eating and talking and drinking and thinking. And the balance of the house for grand and very personal moments is interesting: wide corridors and nooks and corners, a grand staircase but also a narrow back staircase, a dramatic panorama of the island and harbor from the terrace, but also an outdoor shower; casually comfortable chairs and couches and sofas and tables for solitary reading or whole-gang meals and long evenings of talking. But the essence of the house as I experience it is its tone, out of this rich detail, which is a slow joyful symphonic song of well-being in a happy key.
It is a house that lets you experience small "fixations of happiness" that become our summer holidays in Jamestown. See you next year, if not before.
No complaints. Great house. Great location
Wonderful spot. Plenty of room for family and porch is a relaxing place to watch boats go by and chat with family and friends. With 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers it is easy keep up with meals. Bedrooms are breezy and bright and bathroom updates made this stay even better than are last time.
The owners are very easy to contact and work with and down town Jamestown are close and the beaches accessible.
We staying at this amazing home and celebrated my Mom's 70th birthday. The home is well stocked and extremely spacious. The front porch is beautiful overlooking Narragansett bay, at night we were able to see a fireworks display in newport while sitting on the porch. The beds are extremely comfortable. The private beach is nice and our kids loved the diving board off the pier. It was our first time in Jamestown and we absolutely loved it. Great little town with good restaurants within walking distance from the house. The owners of the home are very responsive and great to deal with. Highly recommend!
We have stayed in this house twice and enjoyed ourselves both times. The house is beautiful and quite grand - much bigger in person than it appears in the photos. We spent most of our time on the beautiful wrap around porch overlooking the bay and Newport. The location is walking distance from the downtown area and a few minutes drive from the waterfront parks.
We have already made plans to return next year.
We loved everything about the house, especially sitting out on the porch and enjoying the beautiful view. Each bedroom was so nicely decorated and we loved hanging out in the kitchen for breakfast. It was so convenient to walk into town and taking the ferry over to Newport was so much fun.
The perfect house for a large group, ours was a family reunion. The house was well stocked with dishes, serving pieces, pots and pans, everything we needed. The outdoor porch was perfect and the rooms were all decorated nicely with cheery colors. We had a fabulous vacation and hope to return in the near future. Thank you!

West Bank Life
Six months in and around the Palestinian Territories
de Living Spirit Photography
Acerca del libro
I was lucky enough to work in the West Bank for 6-months during 2010. This afforded me the opportunity to explore both the Palestinian Territories and Israel, allowing me to see some wondrous sights and some not so pleasing to the eye. I met people from all walks of life and from all religions; most of them had an opinion on a future Palestinian state that they were keen to share. In this book I have tried to present a taste of my experiences, but not voice my opinion.

UK-based journalism is just about as non-biased as it gets. We find that refreshing, and terrifying! Osprey Packs seems to be in the good graces of leading review entity Outdoorsmagic.com, judging by the recent review of the Osprey Talon 11 pack. The review states that the Talon 11 is an "excellent small capacity pack … that carries brilliantly walking, running or biking and has enough stowage to work as an ultra-lightweight summer hiker's pack." We really love how they used the term "Brilliantly!"
They go on to write: Attention to detail and build quality are second to none, though bikers used to more compartmentalised packs may yearn for a few extra internal dividers."
We're glad Outdoorsmagic.com brought that up, because we have something to fit that bill in the design que as we speak!

'Do Not Call' list tops 647,000, text messages may be added
Tallahassee, Fla. (970 WFLA) – Since the state of Florida removed the $10 registration fee and $5 annual fee for individuals to sign up for the statewide Do Not Call list two years ago, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam's office released information Wednesday showing nearly 575,000 phone numbers have been added to the list so that individuals are not bothered at home by telemarketers, solicitors and scammers.
"Since eliminating the fee to subscribe, Florida's Do Not Call List has grown exponentially," said Commissioner Putnam. "We're proud to prevent more than 645,000 Floridians from being bothered by unwanted sales calls," the statement said in the release.
Currently, there is a bill pending in the legislature that would add text messages to the Do Not Call list.
SB 450, proposed by Sen. Jeff Clemens, was passed by the Florida Senate, while its House companion, HB 1191 by Rep. Janet Cruz, awaits a final vote on the House floor.
Before the fee was eliminated on April 23, 2012, there were 71,460 phone numbers on the statewide list, according to the release, and now, there are 647,481 phone numbers subscribed, protecting hundreds of thousands of Florida consumers.
The bill proposed in 2012 by Sen. Anitere Flores (SB 888) and Rep. Dana Young (HB 749) allowed the department to eliminate the fee for consumers. An increase in penalties for violations of Florida's Do Not Call List helps cover the cost of administering the program, the release stated.
Anyone who would like to add a number to the list can call 1-800-HELP-FLA(435-7352) or, for Spanish speakers, 1-800-FL-AYUDA (352-9832). You can also sign up for the list online at www.800helpfla.com. The state's Do Not Call list is updated quarterly and available to solicitors upon request. It is illegal for solicitors to make telephone calls to phone numbers on Florida's Do Not Call list.

India, 1947. Saleem (Satya Bhabha) is born at the exact moment his nation achieves independence from Britain. Little do his know but, amid the historic tumult that lies ahead, his fate is mystically tied to his fellow travellers, Midnight's Children.
Tactfully scripted (and narrated) by Salman Rushdie from his own novel, Midnight's Children follows Saleem (Satya Bhabha), born in 1947 at the exact moment of India's independence from the British Empire. Essentially, it's the X-Men as conceived by Satyajit Ray — all Indian children born on this night have mutant powers and come together in a communion created by the nasally-psychic Saleem, though his dark alter ego Shiva (Siddharth) threatens to eclipse him. It can't cram in the whole novel, but a large cast — including Charles Dance as the last crazed colonial — embody the book's mix of humour, magic, history, anger and affection.
Thanks to Rushdie's sensitive handling of his own material, this is an adaptation big in both ideas and heart.

Gov. Jerry Brown gets it. So does Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. Unfortunately, when it come to executive pay they are in a small minority among California's elected and appointed leaders.
Brown, Newsom and one other University of California regent voted Tuesday against giving new UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks a $50,000 raise over what his predecessor made.
The vote was 11-3 in favor of a $486,800 base salary for Dirks, along with an annual $8,916 car allowance and a house on the Berkeley campus.
The $50,000 pay raise "does not fit within the spirit of servant leadership that I think will be required over the next several years," said Brown, who supported Dirks' appointment but not the salary. "We can all agree this issue is much bigger than anyone's salary, but I want to put my marker down."
The governor added that he made a commitment to voters who approved Proposition 30's tax hikes that he would spend the state's money wisely.
Another person who gets it is UC Riverside President Timothy P. White, the incoming chancellor of the California State University system, who requested -- and got -- a 10 percent pay cut from the salary his predecessor makes, which the CSU board was prepared to give him.
In a letter to the board, White said it was his contribution toward helping the CSU system through its budget problems.
That's the "spirit of servant leadership" the governor was talking about.
Too bad that more public employees and politicians don't get that.

The game took place at the picturesque Spetchley Gardens with the local side Tibberton winning the toss and electing to bat first.
After the recent heavy rain the pitch was sluggish and despite good innings from Sheerman (17) and Garner (20) the hosts were eventually bowled out for 67 in 19 overs.
This total was largely down to an energetic fielding display from Warriors - that included four catches in the covers from General Manager Charlie Little - and an accurate bowling display. The chief tormentors for Taverners were Stadium Manager Shaun Roberts (2 for 3), assisted by Community Coach Steve Joslin (2-10) and Academy Conditioning Coach Lee Douglas (2-10).
In reply Warriors were put under severe pressure from the onset and found runs hard to come by, the exception being first team scrum half Jonny Arr (22) and Little (23).
A tense finale saw Warriors edge towards victory needing five runs off the last over. However, any nerves were soon dispelled when Little hit a straight six to win the game by two wickets with five balls to spare.
Both teams played their part in an epic match that was in the balance until the penultimate over. It is hoped with the success of this match that Warriors will again venture on to the cricket field and we look forward to any challenges that may be out there.

A quick recipe from a while ago. ❤
Ingredients: 60g butter / marg, 1 large onion (thinly sliced), 1 large carrot (thinly sliced),
2 sticks celery (thinly sliced), zest and juice of one lemon, 750g raw beetroot (peeled and diced), 800ml stock, 2 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 bunch of fresh dill, 1 tsp allspice,
400g cherries (stoned – this takes ages, sorry), 120g vegan yoghurt or sour cream, salt and black pepper
Sauté the onions in the butter until clear. Add the carrot, celery and lemon peel/zest and continue for another three minutes, until everything starts to soften. Add the beetroot and cook for a further three minutes or so. Let everything bubble away for two minutes before adding the stock, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, dill, allspice, and some salt and a grind of pepper.
Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the cherries and cook for a further five minutes, until everything is tender. Remove from the heat, then use a slotted spoon to pick out the cinnamon stick and berries. Leave to cool for a little bit and blend.
Serve in individual bowls, with a tablespoon and a half of soured cream/vegan yoghurt on top of each portion, followed by a sprinkle of chopped dill.

After a 74 year delay, the house has been finally realized and opened in October, 2013. It is one of three parts comprising the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center, which will promote and educate visitors of the largest collection of Wright buildings in a single location. The other two architectural features include a restored 1930's Bungalow House that will serve as the new campus Gift Shop, and site design that will include a fountain, reflecting pool, courtyard, trellis, planters and landscaping. Extensive use of the Wright concrete textile block construction method was implemented.

Damming the Skykomish River: a resurfacing battle
Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - 10:10am
The Western Front
A new hydroelectric dam may be erected in the South Fork of the Skykomish River — one of the last free-flowing rivers in Washington.
Snohomish Public Utilities District (SnoPUD) is planning the installation of a 7-foot-tall inflatable dam that would stretch across the river above Sunset Falls, a 114-foot-tall waterfall that marks the end of natural fish migration up river, said Rich Bowers, northwest coordinator at Hydropower Reform Coalition.

FOUR trees planted by school children have been dug up by thieves in Jaywick.
The apple, pear and plum trees were taken from a community orchard in Lotus Way between Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon.
The trees were planted by children from Frobisher Primary School and Clacton Coastal Academy.
Ward councillor Dan Casey said: "It is such a shame that a few people have spoiled this for many.
"So much good work has been done at the orchard by local people and school children."
Jaywick Community Forum created the Lotus Way play area and orchard on a patch of overgrown wasteland between Lotus Way and Brooklands Gardens.
The project cost about £80,000 and saw 54 fruit trees planted to give residents a beauty spot in the village.
Last year it was targeted by vandals who pulled out seven trees.
