Terence Fisher's DRACULA (HORROR OF DRACULA in the USA; 1958) is the best vampire film of all time. No other picture combines the right amounts of horror, humor, action, and eroticism. Britain's Hammer Films is legendary for their horror films--this is the best of them all. Although quite different from the book in many ways, I feel this picture captures the spirit of Stoker's work better than the more literal adaptations. Everything works here--Fisher's tight, crisp pacing, James Bernard's throbbing, full-blooded score, and especially the acting. Christopher Lee inherits the role of Dracula from Lugosi and makes it his own--he still holds the record for most film performances as the Count. Peter Cushing is the definitive Dr. Van Helsing--by turns tough and tender, his interpretation far outshines those of far better known actors--Anthony Hopkins and Laurence Olivier played the part later, but their performances were totally inferior to Cushing's. And how about Michael Gough--Alfred in the recent BATMAN films--as Holmwood? He's a treat in his own right! Lugosi came first, and later films spent more money; however, the best combination of all elements is in HORROR OF DRACULA. It is required viewing for all vampire fans.
Hammer's Dracula, the first Dracula film to incorporate fangs, blood,
and red eyes, brings the best Dracula to the screen - Christopher Lee.
I first saw this on TV at home on Thursday 5pm on a channel that featured some classics. I also remember seeing War of the Worlds and others every Thursday. Each time they repeated it, I was there watching it. I just bought this DVD for my collection and the color and quality is awesome.
In Stoker's book Mina Murray is Harker's fiancé and Lucy Westenra was Arthur Holmwood's fiancé. Despite these changes the story holds together nicely. Sangster manages to avoid having Dracula turn to a bat to make the character more believable. In Stoker's book the Lucy character dies and returns as a child-lusting vampire so Van Helsing and Holmwood stake her as shown in the movie.
Trivia: Lee said the fangs he wore were easy to speak with but not eat. The contacts he wore were very painful and made him teary eyed and his vision a bit blurry.
There are some scenes that were deleted. One was of the impaled Harker in the early stages of decomposition which was removed by the British censor when it was released in English speaking countries. Surprising because it was tame compared to other scenes. Another scene that was removed by the same censor was Dracula's stages of decomposing during his death scene. This scene was reportedly left intact in foreign speaking countries and the rumor is Warner does not consider the scenes to be worth pursuing. What U.S. audiences see is the jump to the final stage of dissolving. Lee says they were kept in for the Far East parts of the world because they were considered to be too gruesome in those days. There are stills floating around of them both. A solid 9 out of 10, this remains the best Dracula film ever made. Yes, much better than the overrated "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
It's difficult to overestimate the significance of Dracula. Far more so
than its predecessor, The Curse of Frankenstein, it set the tone for
Hammer's movie output over the next two decades - the two decades
(1956-1976) when British films, or at least British horror films, were
among the best, most admired and most imitated in the world. A far cry
from the terribly English whimsy of the Thirties and Forties, or the
provincial, "arty" stuff that's predominated since the end of the Eady
levy in the 1980s.
With this movie, Hammer not only created an international star out of Christopher Lee, but a worldwide phenomenon that persists, in series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and films like Sleepy Hollow, to the present day. Taking the Kensington gore quotient of The Curse of Frankenstein, and combining it with an unprecedented dose of eroticised violence, Dracula revolutionised horror, ultimately leading to the breasts and blood exploitation movies of the Seventies, as well as the heavy sexual overtones of films such as Alien and The Company of Wolves.
The movie benefits from two astonishing central performances. Christopher Lee's Dracula is a creation of passionate intensity, to whom Cushing's monomaniacal Van Helsing is the antithesis fire and steel; hot-blooded animal instinct versus cool scientific rationalism. This has led some critics to identify Van Helsing as the real villain of the piece, a brutal fanatic who coldly pounds a stake through the vampirised Lucy. Either way, both actors give supremely effective performances. The final confrontation between the two remains the single most iconic scene in any Hammer film. Hardly surprising, given their on screen charisma, that Lee should reprise his role six times and Cushing four.
The most influential British movie of all time, Dracula's electric mix of sex and death fuelled a global revolution in genre film-making, and presented Hammer with a formula that they would return to again and again over the next two decades.
I'm not a big fan of horror films but I was very impressed with this
one, titled "Horror Of Dracula." (For some reason, it's just called
"Dracula" here on the IMDb site.
This is a solid re-telling of the Dracula story with some legitimate thrills provided to the viewer along with pretty photography and sets and a tasteful lack of blood.
I'm curious how this looks and sounds on DVD. Story-wise, they might have embellished some of the action scenes and made Dracula a little more powerful. (I can't see him feeling a regular human being which he did here in the end.) Other than that, it's a well-done movie with no exaggerated characters, nice colors, no problem understanding accents....one of the better Dracula films ever made, just maybe the best. It's that good!
It also features two of the best classic 'horror" actors of all-time: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Highly recommended, particularly for people who might be hesitant to watch a "Dracula" film. I'll think you'll like this version.
An outstanding film on all accounts! This is far and away a better vampire(Dracula) film then the Universal film because of its action and pace, its acting, and its rich musical score and lush cinematography. Now I like the old Universal film a lot, but this one just seems to have so much more blood coursing through its veins, so to speak. The story is a variation on the novel, and the Universal film is actually much more faithful, but Horror of Dracula compensates by having the core of the film centered around two polarized opposing forces of good and evil. Christopher Lee is excellent as Dracula, bringing to the character a genuine menace and some sophistication mixed with brutality(lacking from Lugosi's performance). The real star, however, at least for me is the venerable Peter Cushing in the role of Professor Van Helsing. Cushing's character is a man single of purpose in his quest to rid the world of Dracula. Cushing brings a great deal of charm, grace, and incredible professionalism to his role. Other performers are quite good. Michael Gough is very good in his role, and Miles Malleson is very humorous in his minute role of an undertaker. Director Terrence Fisher deserves most of the credit for the success of this film and the way vampires were to be treated afterward in film. Fisher directs with precision and creates a rich tapestry of vibrant colors and wonderful sets with his discerning eye for detail. This film's importance cannot be overlooked as it revolutionized a whole sub-genre of horror...and brought us two wonderful actors....Lee and Cushing...together in two of their greatest roles. That is enough for me!
Hammer made several classic horror movies : The Curse Of Frankenstein,
The Curse Of The Werewolf, Dracula - Prince Of Darkness, The Devil
Rides Out, She, The Quatermass trilogy amongst others. However for me,
their first Dracula movie is a true horror masterpiece.
Although based on the novel by Bram Stoker, the movie doesn't even try to adapt the book. Jimmy Sangster simply took the characters and events he needed, and went off and did his own movie, and it works brilliantly.
Jonathon Harker arrives at Castle Dracula under the guise of being Dracula's new librarian. Actually however, he's there to destroy the vampire. When he fails, Dracula wrecks vengeance on Harker's fiancé and family, while Van Helsing arrives in the hope of ending what Harker couldn't....
As I said, nothing like the novel but it doesn't matter. This is the best Dracula movie ever made.
To begin with, the set design by Bernard Robinson is superb. His design of the castle is fantastic. Jack Asher, the cinematographer does a stunning job lighting the movie, especially Dracula's first appearance. The music by James Bernard, taking it's cues from the title, Dracula, is wonderful, bringing excitement, dread, fear and everything you could ask for.
Terence Fisher, Hammer's most important director, keeps things going at a brisk pace, staging some brilliant set-pieces. Fisher made most of the early horror classics: The Curse Of Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Curse Of The Werewolf. He also made many more movies for Hammer, but this is his finest movie.
Where Hammer got lucky was Christopher Lee. His Dracula performance is gripping. He's charming when he needs to be - watch the brilliance of his first appearance. He appears at the stop of the stairs looking menacing, thanks to the lighting and music, then walks down the stairs and introduces himself! Brilliant.
But Lee is scary and terrifying as he needs to be, when stalking Mina and Lucy, but also almost passionate with them. And he proves a worthy adversary for Van Helsing....
...which brings me to Peter Cushing. Simply put the best Van Helsing on screen, played by the best actor ever in the horror genre. Cushing brings compassion to Van Helsing (watch the scene with the child in the graveyard) but also determination and obsession at ridding the world of evil. Even though he made a lot of horror movies in his career, and thus is somewhat under-rated as an actor, he never gave a bad performance and here like Lee he is at the top of his game. it's no wonder that they both became like a double-act in horror movies!! Although by todays standard, some of the acting may appear wooden, or 'ham(!)' and some of the effects, especially in the movie's stunning climax may have dated the movie as a whole has not.
It's still a battle between good v evil, which reaches a climax in a brilliant finale in the castle as Darcula and Van Helsing face each other. If you watch carefully, you'll see it's Van Helsing's knowledge that wins out, not strength.
When I saw this a child it scared the hell out of me. Time and repeated showings may have weakened the scare factor of this movie, but this is still,and will always be, my favorite horror movie.

Vampire films before 1958 were always in black and white and partially
were not very gory considering that a vampire drinks blood. The
Universal films were done producing monster movies and the sci-fi era
was born with all sorts of creatures from outer space invading our
planet. Then the Hammer Studios from England came along and the world
never knew what hit them, we had blood, we had sex, we had great
actors, we had excellent sets, we had frightening scares and most of
all, we had color! Horror of Dracula was the first vampire movie we
ever had that was in color and we were introduced to Christopher Lee,
arguably one of the best and most memorable Dracula's. Standing over
six feet tall, the man had a true presence and one of the most
memorable entrances for Dracula. He enters the room for the first time
with a gigantic BOOM and I don't think we could have prepared for such
a horror film.
Jonathan Harker arrives at the castle of Count Dracula, posing as a librarian. He is startled inside the castle by a young woman begging for help, claiming to be a prisoner. Dracula then greets Harker and guides him to his room, where he locks him in. Jonathan starts to write in his diary, and his true intentions are revealed: he has come to kill Dracula. Harker again is confronted by the desperate woman. She begs him for help but then bites his neck. Just as she does, Dracula arrives and yanks her away. Armed with a stake, he impales the woman. But when he turns to kill Dracula, the Count has already awakened and is waiting for him. Dr. Van Helsing then arrives at the castle, looking for Harker. In the crypt, Van Helsing is horrified to discover Harker lying in a coffin as a vampire. Staking Harker, he leaves to deliver the veiled news of Harker's death in person to a wary Arthur Holmwood and his wife Mina, brother and sister-in-law of Harker's fiancée Lucy Holmwood. It turns out Dracula already got ahold of Lucy and turned her into a vampire. After convincing Arthur that Dracula must be destroyed, Mina -under Dracula's spell- lets Dracula stay in their cellar and now Arthur must kill Dracula before Mina meets the same fate as Lucy.
So is this film worth all the hype it gets? I personally love the Hammer Dracula films but I do admit they have a certain camp value too. Jonathan is played with such lack of personality and is so bland, at times you can't take him seriously that Van Helsing would send him to kill Dracula. But Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are what make this film great, they're terrific actors who have great chemistry. Their last fight scene is just incredible and the effects are still outstanding by today's standards. Plus the image of Dracula growling with blood dripping from his fangs is one of the best images of a horror film and is the definition of why we are scared of vampires. Dracula is not only portrayed as a monster, but a sexual predator. The scene with him biting Mina is so intense and has a great jump moment after he bites her with an owl screaming at Arthur. Terence Fisher knew how to truly give the audience a good scare. Horror of Dracula isn't just one of the best scary movies of all time, but it's a true classic in itself. It's classy, it's scary, it's intense, it's everything you could want in a horror movie. It doesn't kid around when the first image we see in the film is blood dripping down on Dracula's coffin, you know you're in for a ride.
Often regarded as the highlight of Hammer horror's oeuvre, The Horror
of Dracula stands up today as a fresh and inventive take on what is
maybe the best story ever written. Hammer is a studio that has had many
a fine hour, and although this is one indeed; I think that there are
several other films from their ranks that just top it. Just, being the
operative word as this is certainly up there with the best of them. As
you might expect, the story follows that of Bram Stoker's original
novel; with a young man travelling to Dracula's castle, and not
returning. This attracts the attentions of Professor Abraham Van
Helsing; an authority in the field of vampirism who then sets out to
slay the malevolent fiend that is the source of all the foul play in
the movie; Dracula himself.
Although this is based on the classic story, Hammer very much makes it their own. Of course, the campy horror styling that that the studio has become famous for features strongly in the movie and serves in giving it that classic Hammer feel. Furthermore, this movie features both of Hammer's greatest stars; Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Christopher Lee may be no Bela Lugosi, but if there was anyone other than Bela Lugosi that I would want to play Dracula; Christopher Lee is that man. He isn't actually in it that much, but the moments when he is are the best in the movie. He has an incredible amount of screen presence, and all of that is transferred into the character of Dracula. In a similar way, Peter Cushing plays Van Helsing. Like Lee, Cushing has buckets of screen presence, but it's all in a very different style. While Lee is a defined evil, Cushing is more subdued, which allows him to adequately play the hero as well as well as he plays the villain. I've got to be honest, I prefer Cushing in the bad guy role; but he still makes an excellent hero.
Terence Fisher, one of Hammer's premier directors, directs the film and does a great job with it. The atmosphere of the Gothic period setting is spot on, and a constantly foreboding, and intriguing atmosphere is created throughout. The way that the smoke drifts across the graveyard in the movie is among the most atmospheric things Hammer ever shot. Dracula is a great story, and this Hammer yarn more than does it justice.
This is the definitive version of Dracula. Everything in the film is
done to absolute perfection. The portrayal of Dr. Van Helsing and the title
character, Dracula, are the best representations, EVER! The two great
actors, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are at their best in representing
their characters. Unlike Lugosi, Christopher Lee shines in every scene with
the ferocity and animal-like tendencies that Dracula should have. And the
respectable actor and gentleman, Peter Cushing, takes the character of Van
Helsing and makes it his very own. The look on his face at the end of the
film shows a man, although exilarated and relieved, who is almost sad that
his life's work is nearing a close.
The incredible score, written by James Bernard, almost yells the life
story of Dracula. The lavish scenes and rich color still hold up in today's
world as astounding, original works of art. The gore and blood level is
relatively low in today's standards, however, back then, people would be
scared out of their wits. This film is a 5 star movie. Grab a loved one,
some popcorn, dim the lights, and watch a real good horror movie for a

Shot in the wake of the success of "The curse of Frankenstein",
"Dracula" (known as "Horror of Dracula" in the US) was Hammer studios
second foray into the Gothic horror genre and reunite the same crew who
worked on Frankenstein: Terrence Fisher directs, Jimmy Sangster writes,
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star. The story pays only lip service
to Bram Stoker's novel: Jonathan Harker travels to Castle Dracula to
destroy the lord of vampires (Christopher Lee) but is instead defeated
by him, leading a vengeful Dracula to prey on his fiancé, Lucy, and her
sister-in-law, Mina, with Harker's old friend Van Helsing (Peter
Cushing) as their only hope.
The movie is clearly designed to work against the expectations of an audience familiar with the 1931 Bela Lugosi version. Technicolor replaces the black-and-white photography. Instead of an old ruin haunted by rats, bats and spiders (and armadillo!), castle Dracula is a cozy well-lit seigneurial residence. Christopher Lee drops the mannerism and heavy-accented English associated with Lugosi's portrayal of the count while Peter Cushing's Van Helsing receives a similar make-over: Edward Von Sloan's old foreign doctor is replaced by a younger Sherlock-Holmes type played in the grand tradition of Basil Rathbone. The climatic showdown has him wrestling with Dracula. More importantly, Hammer amped the level of violence, gore (in glorious Technicolor) and sex to a level which might look tame today but that, at the time, pushed the British censorship system to its limit. For the first time in a horror movie, vampires were displaying fangs, ruby-red blood splattered the screen.
Along the years, Dracula had become a metaphor for women sexual empowerment in front of a male-dominated society considering sex as a threat and trying to repress it. Earlier versions did not dare to fully portray this metaphor and later versions watered it down by trying to make the Dracula character more sophisticated (both the 1979 Universal remake and the 1992 Coppola's version, for instance, give Dracula a romantic interest in either Lucy or Mina, making him a much less permissive metaphor for love instead of sex).
This is what makes the Hammer version superior as it absolutely nails down the subtext. In this movie, Dracula appears as an archetypal character, the inhuman materialization of some ancient primary principle of nature. Part of this effect is achieved by Sangster's decision in the script to have Dracula not utter a single word once his vampiric nature is revealed at the beginning of the movie (this deprives Dracula of any distinct personality hence enhancing his mythic status), part by Christopher Lee's mesmerizing performance portraying the count with all the magnetism of a dangerous but fascinating wild animal, part by Terence Fisher's clever direction: every time Dracula is on screen, Fisher have him move fast within the frame, each of his movement amplified by his long floating cape, making him a dominating presence over any other characters sharing the screen with him, nowhere better illustrated than in the famous scene where Dracula attacks his vampire bride and where Christopher Lee's movements across the room are reinforced and amplified by the rotating movement of a globe. Another example is the introductory shot for Dracula: it starts as a long shot of Dracula at the top of a stair; the character rushes down the stairs toward the camera, the shot ending with a close-up of Christopher Lee's face. This fast transition of the character from the background to the foreground leaves an overall impression of energy and overwhelming power.
The erotic nature of the vampire's embrace is also made clear: Dracula's victims prepare themselves for his nocturnal visit as if he was a lover, arranging their bed and their nightgown for him, anticipating with a clear excitement Dracula's bite. The transformation Dracula brings in them is astonishing. Before their encounter with the vampire, they are model examples of submissive women in a male-dominated conservative society: Lucy, the damsel in distress in constant need of a man to protect her; Mina, the model wife looking for her husband's every need. Under Dracula's influence, they become more sensual, more assertive, more rebellious and independent much to the horror of their male guardians.
"Dracula" was a hit for Hammer which became a brand name in horror and they subsequently shot many sequels to it but none of them reached the height of this first installment, one of the best movie to come out from Hammer studios and without any doubt the finest Dracula movie ever made.

12. 10. 2006 - ČSA has the best flight regularity out of 26 European airlines
Prague, 12 October 2006
Czech Airlines (ČSA) came first in the August rankings for flight regularity out of 26 airlines in the Association of European Airlines (AEA). The airline was also ranked second for the first eight months of 2006. ČSA has thus outstripped its competitors, including airlines such as Lufthansa or British Airways in flight regularity.
In August, 88.6 percent of Czech Airlines flights were performed on time (according to AEA methodology, with a delay of less than 15 minutes). The average for all AEA airlines was 77 percent. ČSA also came first in the percentage of departures with a delay of up to three minutes (71.8 percent). In total, since the start of the year, 86 percent of ČSA flights have departed on time, whereas the average for the AEA was 78.2 percent. ČSA claimed first place in the overall table for all flights in August and also in the airline rankings for medium, long-haul and domestic services.
Czech Airlines has been systematically engaged in ensuring the highest possible level of regularity in its flight operations since 2004. "Flight regularity is one of the important priorities for ČSA," said the Vice President of ČSA for flight operations, Jan Janík. Whereas in 2003, ČSA came in somewhere around twentieth in the AEA flight rankings, the company was already sixth in 2004 and 2005. ČSA finished the first half of this year in fourth place, second for the first eight months and first in August itself.
"We found ten morning services departing from Prague or returning from abroad after a night away with a regular delay, which then caused a delay in the subsequent flights," explained Jan Janík. "We announced a motivation programme for the operations staff, which was focused on ensuring the timely departure of the following service if the previous flight returned late."
Nevertheless, the company itself can only influence part of the delay, for example by speeding up the preparation of the plane for its next flight if the previous one is delayed. The most frequent cause of delay is, however, airspace congestion. Other common reasons for delay are restrictions at the destination airport, check-in problems or bad weather. On the contrary, technical problems of ČSA aircraft only have a negligible impact on the number of delays.

Dr. Martin McMahon and colleagues have demonstrated the importance of the WNT®-catenin®c-MYC pathway in the early stage proliferation of BRAFV600E-induced lung and other tumors (Gustafson et al., Cancer Cell, 2014; Juan et al., Genes Dev, 2014).
A collaboration between Drs. Kevan Shokat, Frank McCormick, and Alma Burlingame employed a combined chemogenomics and chemoproteomics approach to identify drug-induced RAS®RAF®MEK complex formation in a subset of BRAF-mutant cancer cells characterized by primary resistance to vemurafenib. Overall, the collaboration revealed that the signaling plasticity exerted by primary resistant BRAF-mutant cells is achieved by their ability to mimic signaling features of oncogenic RAS, a strategy they termed "oncogene mimicry." This model may guide future strategies for overcoming primary resistance observed in these tumors (Sos et al., Cell Rep, 2014).
Drs. William Weiss, Kevan Shokat, and Kate Matthay demonstrated that proteolytic degradation of MYCN protein, a key driver of neuroblastoma, is regulated in part by a kinase-independent function of Aurora A kinase. Moreover, they described a class of inhibitors that disrupts the native conformation of Aurora A and promotes NMYC degradation in multiple NMYC-driven cancers (Gustafson et al., Cancer Cell, 2014). Drs. Sabrina Ronen and Davide Ruggero (Prostate Cancer Program) collaborated to demonstrate that the MYC oncoprotein coordinates the production of the two most abundant classes of cellular macromolecules—proteins and nucleic acids—in cancer cells through regulation of the expression of phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate synthetase 2 (PRPS2) (Cunningham et al., Cell, 2014). Drs. Shokat and Weiss further studied the effects of Aurora kinase inhibition in radiation therapy in glioblastoma with colleagues from the Neurologic Oncology Program (Li et al., Mol Cancer Ther, 2015).
The UCSF imaging group, Drs. Dan Vigneron, Miguel Pampaloni, Sabrina Ronen, and Henry Van Brocklin are pioneers in PET tracer imaging. With the support of the CCSG and a P41 center grant, Dr. Vigneron, Nelson (Neurologic Oncology Program), Ronen, and Munster are conducting several peer-reviewed projects evaluating the PI3 kinase pathway inhibition in prostate cancer, glioma, and breast cancer. They are also using hyperpolarized [1-13C]dehydroascorbate MR spectroscopy in a murine model of prostate cancer (Chaumeil et al., Cancer Res, 2014; Park et al., Cancer Res, 2014)
Under Dr. Munster's leadership, the early-phase clinical trials group continues to translate findings to clinical trials. Therapeutic interventions involving the inhibition of the PI3 kinase, RAS, RAF pathway are being studied in several phase I trials with transition into phase II trials in breast cancer and head and neck cancer and melanoma.
In a collaboration involving Drs. Frank McCormick, Kevan Shokat, and Andrei Goga, engineered isogenic cells were used to generate a systematic and quantitative chemical-genetic interaction map that charts the influence of 51 aberrant cancer genes on 90 drug responses. This dataset strongly predicted drug responses found in cancer cell line collections, indicating that isogenic cells can model complex cellular contexts. This scalable approach enables the prediction of drug responses from patient data and can accelerate the development of new genotype-directed therapies (Martins et al., Cancer Discov, 2015).
During the past year, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn's lab has made novel findings about hTERT, the gene encoding the core component of telomerase, the RNP complex enzyme that elongates and protects telomeres. Moreover, she has shown that telomere attrition in in healthy older women may be linked to stress and lifestyle (Puterman et al., Mol Psychiatry, 2014).
Dr. Goga's work on specific inhibition of CDK2 kinase activity showed that CDK2 inhibition drastically diminishes anchorage-independent growth of human cancer cells and cells transformed with various oncogenes. He has shown that CDK2 activity is necessary for normal mammalian cell cycle progression and may be a good therapeutic target. This has led to a clinical trial studying a select CDK inhibitor in MYC-amplified tumors in the phase I group (Dr. Amy Chien, PI, Breast Oncology Program).
Dr. David Morgan's lab studies fundamental problems in cell division, using yeast as a model system, with a primary focus on the control of chromosome segregation in anaphase of mitosis. In the past year they discovered that Sgo1 recruits PP2A to chromosomes to ensure sister chromatid bi-orientation during mitosis. His group further showed that CDK1 phosphorylates Iqg1 and plays an important role in actomyosin ring assembly prior to cytokinesis (Eshleman et al., J Cell Sci, 2014; Naylor et al., J Cell Sci, 2014).
The laboratory of Dr. James Wells explores the molecular basis for programmed cell death (Rettenmaier et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2014; Wells et al., Science, 2014). In dissecting programmed pathways, he has defined several crucial components leading to cell death, including the roles of chemical fibrils and small-molecule peptide docking motifs (Julien et al., Nat Chem Biol, 2014).
Dr. Mark Moasser's work on the role of HER3 in cell death, tumor perfusion, and drug resistance has been explored in three clinical trials testing a monoclonal antibody against HER3, high doses of lapatinib, and a highly potent HER2 / HER3 inhibitor. This trial is a collaboration between the Developmental Therapeutics and Breast Oncology Programs and has been presented over the past year (Chien et al., J Clin Oncol, 2014). Dr. Ajay Jain continues to make significant advances in computational drug discovery using high-throughput computational screening for the discovery of promising small molecules for modulation of specific biological targets. His work allows for better prediction of off-target effects of drugs using data fusion evaluation (Yera et al., Pac Symp Biocomput, 2014).
Drs. Neil Shah and Kevan Shokat collaborated and reported a novel chemical strategy for treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): they selectively inhibited FLT3 while avoiding KIT inhibition using the staurosporine analog, Star-27. Star-27 maintains potency against FLT3 in proliferation assays of FLT3-transformed cells compared to KIT-transformed cells, shows no toxicity towards normal human hematopoiesis at concentrations that inhibit primary FLT3-mutant AML blast growth, and is active against mutations that confer resistance to clinical inhibitors (Warkentin et al., Elife, 2014). In further studies, Drs. Charlie Craik and Shah developed plasmon ruler nanosensors to monitor apoptosis in leukemias (Tajon et al., ACS Nano, 2014).
Dr. Frank Szoka's lab continues to use novel approaches to devise vaccine, drug, and nucleic acid delivery systems to treat cancer. In a recent study, the group showed that fusion of a short immunoglobulin-binding peptides to recombinant proteins can substantially prolong their half lives (Sockolosky et al., PLoS One, 2014). In collaboration with the thoracic oncology group, Dr. David Jablons has identified recurrent FGFR3-TACC3 fusion oncogenes in lung adenocarcinoma (Capelletti et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2014).
A collaboration between the Developmental Therapeutics and Hematological Malignancies Programs (Martin, Rubenstein, and Munster) has shown that CD38 inhibition in myeloma is a valuable target (presented at ASH 2014). Dr. Rubenstein has shown that intrathecal administration of rituximab is effective in CNS lymphomas via Complement activation (Kadoch et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2014).
Major findings from Dr. Deanna Kroetz's laboratory in breast cancer pharmacogenomic studies include the identification of additional candidate genes and pathways as predictors of taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy. The collaboration with CALGB revealed that inheritance of paclitaxel-induced sensory peripheral neuropathy is driven by axon outgrowth gene sets (Chhibber et al., Pharmacogenomics J, 2014).

"Pretty Little Head" is a song by Paul McCartney,[1] cowritten by McCartney, and 10cc guitarist Eric Stewart. The track is on his sixth studio solo album Press to Play. The track was McCartney's 38th single, and his first which failed to chart, so, in an attempt to boost sales, he released his first ever cassette single.[1] It still failed to reach the top 75.[1]
The single was released at a length of 3:50 on the 7" release (remixed by Larry Alexander), and as a 6:56 remix (mixed by John Potoker) on the 12" release on the same day, 27 October 1986, and an extra track, "Angry", was added to the 12".[1] The cassette version was the same as the 12", and was released on 17 November 1986.[1] Both of these lengths are different from the album version, which has a length of 5:14. (See Press to Play).
"Write Away", the single's B-side, is included only on the CD release of the album, resulting in the back of the single listing the A-side as "From the album" and the B-side as "From the compact disc".[1]

A music video, directed by Steve Barron, was recorded for the song,[1] which features a girl running away from home after she witnesses her parents in an argument; she then finds herself in a big city. The girl is actress Gabrielle Anwar. McCartney appears only in a short cameo role, which he filmed in London on 18 October 1986.[1] The beginning of the video contains an excerpt from "She's Leaving Home," a Beatles song written and performed in 1967, for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
Reviews of the song, and the album as a whole, were mixed. The song has been described as "wild, hi-tech experimentation",[2] and as "computer-laiden, spacey-sounding, boomey-drumming, while Rolling Stone magazine described it as "dreamily abstract".[3]

TO OPEN JapanNYC FESTIVAL AT CARNEGIE HALL, DECEMBER 14, 15, & 18
Pianist Mitsuko Uchida Performs Music by Beethoven in Program
To Include Brahms's Symphony No. 1 and US Premiere of Carnegie Hall
Co-Commission by Composer Atsuhiko Gondai on December 14
Takemitsu's November Steps for Biwa, Shakuhachi, and Orchestra
Featured on December 15 with Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique
Ozawa Leads Performance of Britten's War Requiem on December 18;Ozawa Returns to JapanNYC with Seiji Ozawa Ongaku-juku in April 2011
, a
two-part citywide festival that celebrates the incredible diversity of Japanese
arts and culture, launches at Carnegie Hall on December 14, 15, and 18 with
three concerts featuring the eminent Maestro Seiji Ozawa conducting the Saito
Kinen Orchestra. Maestro Ozawa's three programs with the Saito Kinen
Orchestra, which he co-founded in 1984 in honor of his late mentor Hideo Saito,
range from works by composers for which he is known (Brahms, Berlioz, Britten)
to Japanese orchestral works both old (Takemitsu's November Steps) and
new (US premiere of a Carnegie Hall commission by Atsuhiko Gondai). Special
guest soloists during these three programs include pianist Mitsuko Uchida,
biwa player Yukio Tanaka, shakuhachi player Kifu
Mitsuhashi, soprano Christine Goerke, tenor Anthony Dean Griffey,
and baritone Matthias Goerne.JapanNYC, with more than 65 events at Carnegie Hall and New York City
partner venues beginning in December 2010 and continuing in March-April 2011,
explores the Japan of today, where artists embrace their country's unique
aesthetic sensibilities while continually revitalizing its cultural landscape.
Led by Seiji Ozawa as the festival's artistic director, JapanNYC
explores a country that values its long-standing cultural heritage while also
embracing and transforming Western art forms in a spirit that very much looks

for the most up-to-date information on festival events, interviews with
artists, videos, slideshows, and other content providing insight into Japan's
arts scene and JapanNYC festival offerings.
The Saito Kinen Orchestra was founded in 1984 by Maestro Ozawa and fellow
conductor Kazuyoshi Akiyama to honor the 10th anniversary of the death of their
mentor, the influential musician and educator Hideo Saito. At the time of its
founding, the orchestra comprised over 100 of Saito's former students, and it
gathered just once every year to pay tribute to him. Saito was a major figure
in Japan, largely responsible for bringing Western classical music to the
country. Rather than pursue a career in the West, Saito—a cellist and conductor
who studied in Germany in the 1920s and '30s—returned home before World War II,
determined to create a classical music tradition in Japan. Today, he is best
remembered for founding the Toho Gakuen School of Music, one of the country's
leading music institutions. Eighteen years after Saito's death, the Saito Kinen
("Saito Memorial") Orchestra became the cornerstone of Seiji Ozawa's artistic
dream to found Japan's first international music festival, the Saito Kinen
Festival Matsumoto, held every August – September since its inception in 1992.
The Saito Kinen Orchestra launches JapanNYC at Carnegie Hall with three
concerts in December 2010—only its third appearance at Carnegie Hall and in New
York since its 1991 debut, when it opened Carnegie Hall's 101st season.
Maestro Ozawa and Saito Kinen Orchestra's first program on Tuesday, December 14
at 8:00 p.m. includes Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with Ms. Uchida and
Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C Minor. It also features the US premiere of
Atsuhiko Gondai's Decathexis, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall, which
received its world premiere at the Saito Kinen Festival Matsumoto this past
September. Gondai, who was born in 1965 in Tokyo and studied composition in
Japan and Germany before a residency in Paris, lives and works in Kanazawa,
Japan, and in Paris.
The following evening, on Wednesday, December 15 at 8:00 p.m., Maestro Ozawa
and the orchestra perform Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and Tōru
Takemitsu's November Steps for biwa, shakuhachi, and
orchestra featuring Yukio Tanaka and Kifu Mitsuhashi as soloists. November
Steps was originally commissioned by the New York Philharmonic on the
occasion of its 125th anniversary in 1967, and the premiere was conducted by
Ozawa, then an assistant conductor under Leonard Bernstein at the orchestra. November
Steps marks Takemitsu's first foray into combining the unique sound worlds
of traditional Japanese instruments and the Western orchestra, something he
would continue to explore throughout his career. In December JapanNYC
offers a major tribute to the late Takemitsu, considered to be Japan's greatest
composer, with concerts at Carnegie Hall and Columbia University's Miller
Theatre, as well as a 19-movie series at Film Forum of films that the composer
scored. For more details, click here.
For their final performance on Saturday, December 18 at 8:00 p.m., Mr. Ozawa
and the Saito Kinen Orchestra perform Britten's monumental War Requiem,
a work of great personal meaning to Maestro Ozawa, which he has conducted many
times throughout his career. The performance features soprano Christine Goerke,
tenor Anthony Dean Griffey, baritone Matthias Goerne, the SKF Matsumoto Choir,
SKF Matsumoto Children's Chorus, and the Ritsuyukai Choir.
Seiji Ozawa returns to Carnegie Hall and JapanNYC in April 2011,
conducting another ensemble he founded, Seiji Ozawa Ongaku-juku (Seiji Ozawa
Music Academy Orchestra) in its US debut performances (April 1 and 2). Founded
by Maestro Ozawa in 2000, the orchestra is comprised of talented young
musicians who are given the opportunity to learn and perform both opera and
orchestral music in Japan under the tutelage of world-class professionals.About the Artists
Born in 1935 in Shenyang, China to Japanese parents, Seiji Ozawa
graduated with first prizes in both composition and conducting from Tokyo's
Toho School of Music. In 1959 he came to the attention of Charles Munch, then
the Boston Symphony music director, who invited him to the Tanglewood Music
Festival, where he won the Koussevitzky Prize as outstanding student conductor
in 1960. While a student of Herbet von Karajan he came to the attention of
Leonard Bernstein and was appointed Assistant Conductor of the New York
Philharmonic. Music Director of the Vienna State Opera since the 2002–2003
season, Maestro Ozawa is an annual guest conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra and prior to his Vienna State Opera appointment he served as Music
Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for 29 seasons (1973–2002), the
longest serving music director in the orchestra's history.
Mr. Ozawa is also Artistic Director and Founder of the Saito Kinen Festival and
Saito Kinen Orchestra (SKO), the pre-eminent music and opera festival of Japan.
In 2000 he founded the Ozawa Ongaku-juku in Japan, an academy for aspiring
young orchestral musicians where they play with pre-eminent professional
players in symphonic concerts and fully staged opera productions with
international level casting. Since founding the Saito Kinen Orchestra in 1984,
and its subsequent evolution into the Saito Kinen Festival in 1991, Ozawa has
devoted himself increasingly to the growth and development of the Saito Kinen
Orchestra in Japan. With extensive recording projects, annual worldwide tours,
and especially since the inception of the Saito Kinen Festival in the Japan
"Alps' city of Matsumoto, he has built a world-class and world-renowned
orchestra, dedicated in spirit, name, and accomplishment to the memory of his
teacher at Tokyo's Toho School of Music, Hideo Saito, a revered figure in the
cultivation of Western music and musical technique in Japan.
Pianist Mitsuko Uchida is renowned for her interpretations of Mozart,
Schubert, and Beethoven, among others, both in the concert hall and on CD. Her
recording of the Schoenberg Piano Concerto with Pierre Boulez and The Cleveland
Orchestra won four awards, including the Gramophone Award for Best
Concerto. Highlights this season include performances with the Dresden
Staatskappelle and Sir Colin Davis, the Chicago Symphony and Ricardo Muti, a
tour of Japan with The Cleveland Orchestra, a European tour with the
Bayerischer Rundfunk Orchestra and Mariss Jansons, the first part of a
Beethoven Concerti cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra (spanning two
seasons), a European and US solo recital tour, song recitals with Ian
Bostridge, and concerts at the Salzburg Festival. Ms. Uchida was a Carnegie
Hall Perspectives artist over the course of the 2002–2003 and 2003–2004
seasons. She records exclusively for Decca and has demonstrated a long-standing
commitment to the development of young musicians as a trustee of the
Borletti-Buitoni Trust. She is also co-director, with Richard Goode, of the
Marlboro Music Festival.Biwa player Yukio Tanaka was born in Tokyo and studied biwa
with Kinshi Tsuruta. Mr. Tanaka has performed Takemitsu's November Steps
under conductors including Hiroyuki Iwaki, Kent Nagano, Christoph Eschenbach,
and Kees Bakels. A 1973 graduate of the 18th Japanese Traditional Music
Performer Training Program, he has performed at the Louvre in the Paris Autumn
Festival, and won first prize at the Biwagaku Concours. In 1993 Tanaka recorded
November Steps with the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by
Hiroyuki Iwaki on laserdisc for use in teaching music appreciation in Japanese
middle schools. A lecturer at Tokyo College of Music, he is also Executive
Director of the Nihon Biwagaku Kyokai and Chairman of the Tsuruta School
Kakushokai.Shakuhachi player Kifu Mitsuhashi was born in 1950 in Tokyo and
studied the shakuhachi at the Kinko School with Sofu Sasaki, Fuke
Shakuhachi, and Chikugai Okamoto. In 1991 Mr. Mitsuhasi performed as a soloist
with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra at the Centennial Celebration
Concert of Carnegie Hall. For the 1992 Sony-released CD Chikurin Kitan,
he received the 10th Kenzo Nakajima Music Award, the Agency for Cultural
Affairs Artistic Work Award, and the Encouragement Prize at the Yokohama
Cultural Awards. Mr. Mitsuhashi has performed in Europe with the Tokyo
Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Kazushi Ono and received accolades
for performances at London's Royal Festival Hall.
Soprano Christine Goerke has appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, San
Francisco Opera, Washington National Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Seattle Opera,
New York City Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Paris Opera, Théâtre du Châtelet,
and La Scala among others, as well as at the Saito Kinen Festival. She has
received acclaim for her portrayals of the title roles in Norma and Iphigenie
en Tauride and roles in Lohengrin, Fidelio, Die Fledermaus,
Peter Grimes, Falstaff, and Dialogues des Carmelites. Ms.
Goerke has also appeared with a number of the leading orchestras including the
New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, and Cleveland
Orchestra, among others. Her recording of Vaughan Williams's A Sea Symphony
with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra won the 2003 Grammy Award
for Best Classical Recording and Best Choral Performance.
Four-time Grammy Award-winning American tenor Anthony Dean Griffey has
captured critical and popular acclaim on opera, concert, and recital stages
around the world. He has performed leading roles at the great international
opera houses including the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San
Francisco Opera, Glyndebourne, the Opera National de Paris, and the Teatro Comunale
di Firenze, to name a few. He is a regular guest of leading orchestras
including those in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Montreal, and
Toronto, as well as those abroad in London, Paris, Munich, Tokyo, Glasgow,
Amsterdam, and Melbourne. He has also performed at numerous festivals including
Tanglewood, Ravinia, Mostly Mozart, Saito Kinen, and the Proms. The 2010–2011
season brings operatic appearances in the title role of Peter Grimes
with the Houston Grand Opera and as Lennie in Of Mice and Men with Opera
Australia.Matthias Goerne is highly respected as a lieder singer and is a
frequent guest at renowned festivals and prestigious venues including Carnegie
Hall and London's Wigmore Hall. Esteemed pianists such as Pierre-Laurent
Aimard, Leif Ove Andsnes, Alfred Brendel, and Christoph Eschenbach are among
his musical partners. From 2008 to 2011, Mr. Goerne will perform and record
songs by Franz Schubert on eleven CDs for Harmonia Mundi, and venues around the
world will present a series of eleven Schubert recitals with him in coming
seasons. He has performed at the Salzburg, Lucerne, and Saito Kinen festivals
and toured in recital in Europe, Brazil, the US, and Japan. Highlights of
recent seasons include performances with the New York Philharmonic, San
Francisco Symphony, and the Orchestre de Paris, among others.
The Saito Kinen Orchestra was founded in September of 1984 when Seiji
Ozawa and Kazuyoshi Akiyama organized a special concert series to commemorate
the 10th anniversary of Hideo Saito's death. Mentor to both of these well-known
conductors, Professor Saito is best remembered as co-founder of the Toho Gakuen
School, one of Japan's leading music institutions. Under the leadership of
Ozawa and Akiyama, more than 100 of Professor Saito's former students assembled
in Japan for that series of performances. By 1987 the orchestra had made their
first tour of Europe with concerts in Vienna, Berlin, London, Paris, and
Frankfurt and in 1991 the orchestra made its US and Carnegie Hall debuts when they
opened Carnegie Hall's 101st season. In 1992, the Saito Kinen Orchestra became
the cornerstone ensemble of the new Saito Kinen Festival Matsumoto, held every
August and September. Highlights of recent season include additional tours of
Europe and performances led by Alan Gilbert, Robert Mann, and Junichi Hirokami,
with esteemed soloists including Renée Fleming.Program Information

Featuring hospital and health care headlines from the media and the Web.
Iowa News
Mental health reform on legislators 'must do' list
With the Legislature moving toward adjournment as soon as this week, many of the most talked about issues will likely be tabled for another session. But one won't: mental health reform. Last year, the legislators passed a bill that requires Iowa's current county-by-county mental health system to be revamped into a statewide system by July 1, 2013. Also on that date, the county-based tax levies for mental health will end, with mental health care costs coming out of Iowa's general fund. If legislators don't approve a reform bill, the levy will end without giving counties most of what they need to pay for mental health services. (Le Mars Daily Sentinel)
Parents, hospital partner for window safety
It's window safety awareness week across the country. Last year, seven children in the metro area fell out of windows. Four-year-old Hannah Geneser was one of them, and that day plays over and over in her father's head. Jamie Geneser and his family have made it their mission ever since to educate parents on window safety. They've set up the Hannah Geneser Foundation and partnered with Blank Children's Hospital. "Someone's life and the life of a family can change in such a split second," said Anne Garinger, the Safety Coordinator at Blank. (WOI)
Trinity Muscatine grows with $18.5M expansion
In about six weeks, Trinity Muscatine will break ground on an $18.5 million expansion of the hospital's emergency, operating, laboratory and radiology departments. "Our staff is so excited they almost can't contain themselves," Jim Hayes, Trinity Muscatine's chief executive officer, said Friday. "They are anxious to get moving." Hayes cited increased demand for services and patient privacy as the main reasons for the planned ER expansion, expected to be completed in December. (Muscatine Journal)
New Q-C area children's health clinics a collaboration
Parents who used to drive several times a year to Iowa City to obtain specialized pediatric health care for their children may have to travel only as far as Bettendorf once several doctors open new practices in one location. The increase in services was announced Monday as a partnership between Genesis Health System and the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. "This is a really great day for children in the Quad-City region," said Doug Cropper, the president and CEO of Genesis. "It is an exciting day for our youngest patients and their families." (Quad-City Times)
National News
President confident health law will stand
In his first public comments since court questioning last week suggested that it might find the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, Mr. Obama offered both a robust defense of the law and a barbed warning to justices thinking of striking it down. "For years what we've heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or the lack of judicial restraint, that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law," Mr. Obama said after meeting at the White House with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. (New York Times)
When more expensive medicine is better
The theory behind the health reform law is that you can deliver better care at lower cost. Support for that idea comes from a robust body of research—most prominently the Dartmouth Atlas project. But sometimes, more expensive care is also better care. That's what a team of health care economists have found in a new NBER paper, which looked at Medicare patients in New York. It found that, all other things being equal, those treated in higher-spending hospitals had mortality rates 20 to 30 percent lower than those treated in low-cost facilities. Those findings, in some ways, contradict the Dartmouth Atlas research, which has suggested that more can be less. (Washington Post)
As health care giants merge, pharmacies aren't happy
Express Scripts sealed its long-planned deal to buy Medco Health Solutions on Monday after the Federal Trade Commission voted 3-1 that it would not stifle competition in the industry. The two companies already provide prescription drug benefit services to some 135 million people — more than 1 out of every 3 Americans. But while the FTC might not think the $29 billion union of Express Scripts and Medco threatens the market for how prescription drugs are distributed to patients, owners of brick-and-mortar drugstores certainly do. (National Public Radio)
Health statistics help shape local policies
Better access to health care data helps local governments improve preventive health policies aimed at reducing overall medical costs, say researchers who released the third annual national County Health Rankings today. In general, the study shows that excessive drinking rates are highest in the Northern states, while Southern states have the highest rates of teen births, sexually transmitted infections and children in poverty. Though there has been little change in the overall statistics nationwide, officials use the findings to try to improve local health. (USA Today)
IOM to CDC and HRSA: Bridge private and public health
The traditional separation between primary healthcare providers and public health professionals isn't helping to ensure population health, according to a new report from the Institute of Medicine. Integration of these fields will require national leadership as well as substantial adaptation at the local level, said authors of the report. The report recommends ways that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) could foster integration between primary care and public health through funding, policy levers, and other means.

London: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Friday night welcomed the settlement reached between International Cricket Council and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) describing it as a decision that will "strengthen ICC's authority and integrity"."I am delighted to hear this news," ECB chairman Lord MacLaurin said in a statement. "The decision is a victory for common sense."As we have made it clear, the ECB has always been fully supportive of the ICC's position throughout this process. This decision will strengthen ICC's authority and integrity as the world governing body for cricket, but the family of cricket is the real winner," MacLaurin said. PTI

I am fairly new to field hunting for ducks and geese. I went scouting with one of my friends who has some old family property that they lease the farming rights. We had never been down there and were hoping for corn fields. Instead we were greeted with cotton and soy. There is also a 10 acre pond next to these fields. The fields were not holding any geese or ducks and niether was the pond. I was wondering if I should get my hopes up about waterfowl eventually making thier way in to these fields or if my buddy and I should classify this spot as fishing only.
Also what other types of fields to ducks and geese hold in? I appreciate the help.

"It really is a beautiful card and we got many many complements. But I would say it was difficult to find a card that wouldn't cut off the photos. So for that I would love if it would be possible to change not only the text but the design too. (just to properly fit the photos)"
"These cards were exactly what I needed to showcase a beautiful picture of my girls in fancy dresses having a "tea party". Everyone who received them loved them. I love Tiny Prints products and as usual I'm very pleased with this one as well."
"I love this card! It was a wonderful gift for family and friends. The pics printed really well- maybe a tad bit darker than I would have thought, but they look great. I used pics that we had taken all on the same day to make the card look cohesive since it holds 6 pictures. We personalized it as suggested and added an extra "He is Risen" to one of the captions. It looks amazing."
"I love everything about this card. I love the colors, the graphics and the design. I only have one child so I found 3 photos of him making different faces and put them in the bunny ears. One smiling, one laughing and one with a silly face. It was adorable! I sent them to all of our family members and everyone called as soon as they received them because they thought it was so cute!"
"Such a cute invite. All the kids we invited were so excited to receive this in the mail. Quality is always perfect with tinyprints and customer service exceeds ALL!"

Information for travellers
The best way to prevent Queensland fruit fly (QFF) from spreading is to not travel with QFF host fruits or fruiting vegetables, especially those grown in home gardens, which have a higher chance of being infested with larvae than store-bought produce.
If you have fruit fly in your home garden or live outside of the PFA, you must not bring fruit from your home into the PFA unless it is cooked, frozen, preserved or canned.
If you live outside of the PFA, you can take host fruit and fruiting vegetables that you have purchased from a supermarket or fruit shop located outside the PFA, home.
If you live within the PFA, you are encouraged to shop at your local supermarket or fruit shop to avoid the need for certification and minimise the risk of transporting QFF into the area.
Host produce cannot be brought into the PFA unless you have a certificate for fruit fly freedom or treatment issued by Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) or an accredited business (e.g. grower).
Heavy fines apply if you are caught taking host fruit or fruiting vegetables into the Greater Sunraysia Pest Free Area without a certificate. Without a certificate, host fruit or fruiting vegetables must be disposed of in quarantine bins located on the roadside before entering the PFA.
Restrictions also apply to carrying fruit fly host materials into some other states and territories - for more information, visit Traveller's Guide to Australian Interstate Quarantine.
What fruit and vegetables are Queensland fruit fly hosts?
Fruit flies lay eggs in many types of maturing and ripe fruit, as well as in some vegetables.
Fruit colour and shape can vary considerably, images are indicative only. Many fruits are also known by different names.

About This Statistic
This statistic shows the number of Starbucks stores in Canada from 2005 to 2016. In 2016, there were 1,035 company-operated stores in Canada.
Number of international and U.S. Starbucks stores
Starbucks in Canada - additional information
Starbucks is the leading coffee chain worldwide in terms of both revenue and store numbers. The company was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1971 and opened its first Canadian store in Vancouver in 1987. As of 2016, there were 1,399 Starbucks stores open in Canada.
Despite being the largest coffee chain worldwide, in Canada, Starbucks is second to the country's own coffee chain, Tim Hortons, which has more than 3.8 thousand stores there. On a global scale, Tim Hortons is Starbucks' closest competitor within the coffee chain segment, but the Canadian chain still has a long way to go to catch up with Starbucks in terms of revenue. In 2016, Starbucks' global revenue amounted to 21.32 billion U.S. dollars, about five times that of Tim Hortons.
Tim Hortons was acquired by Burger King to form Restaurant Brands International in December 2014. Restaurant Brands International is now one of the largest fast food companies worldwide, and may facilitate the international expansion Tim Hortons needs to truly compete with Starbucks.
Canada is just one of Starbucks' many international locations – the company has properties in more than 60 countries across the globe. Outside the U.S. and Canada, the country with the largest number of Starbucks stores is China. In 2016, there were 25,085 Starbucks stores worldwide.

The awning reads: 'Music. Coffee. Bagels.' That lays out the essentials succinctly. Brill began life as a music shop, and music is still 'an integral part of what we do'. There's always something good playing, and CDs and a few vinyl oddments, with the emphasis on jazz, blues, folk and rock, are for sale inside the small interior. Then there's the coffee, which accounts for 80% of Brill's revenue. Supplied by Union Coffee Roasters, it's best in milky form – the Union espresso blend is pretty assertive stuff.
What's more, our Brill espresso was not brilliantly made: thinnish brew, lifeless crema. But Brill makes it easy to forgive an occasional deficient cup. The staff are incredibly friendly, always ready for a gab if you want one, and the musical component is pure pleasure. Which leaves only the bagels to explain: fillings of smoked salmon, cream cheese, ham, houmous, and so on, at exceedingly reasonable prices. Appealing baked goods are supplied by an imaginative woman named Arianna. Her delicious 'everything' cookie even includes fragments of pretzel. We'll be back, for that warm welcome, great music and (we hope) a flawless espresso.

Chess Pin Attack:
Part of the Chess Tactics Guide
A Chess Pin attack is one where an attacking piece forces an enemy piece to remain where it is, else risk the loss of a more-valuable piece, directly behind.
Such an attack could be used to either capture the 'Pinned' piece, or prevent the enemy from moving that piece, which may prove a larger threat to your plans.
Pin Attacks are performed by any of the three long-range pieces:
Furthermore, Pins can be either Relative, which means their victim is 'pinned' against any Piece, except their King, or Absolute, meaning the shielded Piece IS the enemy King.
Below, you can access a series of mocked-up Pin Attacks, for each of the three pieces, with both a Relative and Absolute alternative ...

oil drains
Picked up a 2000 740iL Friday night, it was down to the "add" notch of the oil dipstick. Added a quart of oil to it and drove it home (125 miles). Was doing some running around in it today and once back home, thought I should check the oil again to see what it was using. No oil on the dipstick! Haven't seen any spots on the driveway where I have been parking it, so must be buring lots of oil, right. Well, a couple of hours later, for whatever reason, checked it again (car cooled down by now). This time it showed above the "add" notch, so............figuring I have some clogged oil drain lines on the top end somewhere, taking the oil quite a while to drain back to the pan? If that's the issue, can it hurt the vehicle to drive it this way?
Ummm....Let's start this way. First of all, a qt. every 100 miles would show as blue smoke pouring out the exhaust especially upon acceleration.
Start fresh, change the oil and put cardboard under the car. Re-check oil at 100 miles. If there is no leak, including oil leaking on the engine and burning off before dripping then proceed.
The only thing that can cause this much oil consumption other than leaking is only three things:
1. Valve guides
2. Rings
3. Gaskets
Valve guides....If the oil return passages were clogged you would see blue smoke upon initial start ups and heavy acceleration. The oil would have to by pass the valve seals to do this. If the oil passages are that mucked up you may see evidence of this muck under the oil fill cap, it looks like thick tar. And if that was the case you will see the oil pooled up in the head while looking into the oil filler cap hole.
Rings....A compression and/or a leak down test would show this. Evidenced by blowing blue smoke all the time.
Gaskets....Oil leaking into the cooling system. This would show as a milky mess in the cooling system and/or engine. look in the radiator and oil filler see check this.
To answer your question whether you can drive this way, although the oil capacity is large, 8 (7.5 us qts.), liters I believe, it is a risky proposition. Driving with a quart low in the pan will not blow the engine. Driving with any of the above conditions will eventually lead to the plugs fouling and the car not running or idling right.

new here need some.help
Hey guys new here.....proud owner of a 97' bmw.
740il alpina.....very loud and very fast. Gunna get
an oil change for it at mieneke on saturday. Said
they were gunna use valvoline....any ideas about
what type off oil should be used for this car??jus dont wanna puy soomethin in it to mess it up. Thanks
Another place to lose oil is having a bad oil separator and sucking it into the intake. This usually will show white smoke when you accelerate. If you think you have blocked oil 'drains', add a quart of Marvel Mystery oil or Seafoam to the crank case prior to changing the oil. Do not over fill. (I would change the oil filter though). Drive for about 25-50 miles or per instructions in the container. Drain the oil, change the filter, refill with Castrol Edge or Mobil - 1 10w-30. Both meet and exceed any spec's by BMW. I personally prefer Castrol Edge, but I know many who would kill rather than use anything but Mobil 1.
I buy it at Walmart as to whichever is on sale. I also prefer Marvel over Seafoam. I have used it in the gas and occasionally in the oil for many years...and never had sludge or plugged injectors (or before that had to rebuild a carburetor).
If you are not getting rattles, low oil pressure warning etc, shouls be okay to drive while you take care of this. (Note: I always give my car 10+ minutes sitting level before I check my oil.)
I guess I wasn't clear on the problem. In the end annalysis, I did not lose the oil, it just took some time for it to flow back down into the pan to show on the stick again. Had it changed today as I plan to travel and didn't have time to change it myself. Used Mobil 1
5w20 as that was what the oil change shop had for this car (2000 740iL) and what was on the records I got with the car. We'll see where it goes from here. Thanks for the input. I bought this thing to drive for a couple of months and resell, but I like it and may keep it, so, sure I wil be back here with more questions. Thanks again.
Look under oil cap for sludge. If there is sludge you can bet your oil galley return holes are somewhat obstructed.
