Addiction to Nicotine Gum
I have been using nicotine gum since December 1, 2001 (over 7 months). I am addicted to the gum -- and was considering using the patch to get off the gum. I`m concerned I`ll become addicted to the patch, as well. Any thoughts?
Fortunately, it`s much safer to be addicted to nicotine gum or patch than cigarettes. According to a recent medical article, `Some studies have reported that 5% to 20% of patients prescribed the polacrilex nicotine gum for smoking cessation continue to use the gum for 1 year or more. Although abrupt cessation of use of the gum can produce withdrawal symptoms similar to but milder than that from cigarettes, the use of the gum can be safely eliminated by gradual reduction. Long-term use may represent patient`s desire to extend duration of therapy for fear of returning to smoking. Abrupt cessation of the transdermal nicotine patch does not appear to be associated with withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine nasal spray seems to have a higher potential for long-term use than the gum as evidenced by findings from clinical trials that up to 43% of those abstinent at 1 year were still using the spray at 1 year. Gradual dose reduction (over 1-3 months) should be implemented for those using the spray beyond 3 months. Long-term use did not appear to be a problem for the nicotine inhaler as all patients were able to discontinue inhaler use within 6 months in clinical trials.`

The Public Enemy (1931), directed by William ("Wild Bill") Wellman, is not only a classic Depression-era American gangster film; it is also the film that propelled James Cagney to overnight stardom. The Public Enemy chronicles the rise of a street tough and hired gun to the top of the mob, and then dispassionately depicts his inevitable downfall and death. It does so in a brutal, unflinching manner, typical of Wellman, who often carried a loaded gun on the set, and thought nothing of using live ammunition in some scenes where it would give added realism to the film.
Tom Powers (Cagney) and his brother Mike (Donald Cook) come from a poor but honest family; in fact, their father is a policeman, who pounds his beat each day with dogged dedication. The film follows Tom and Mike from childhood; Mike is an eager, bookish sort who will obviously make something out of himself, but Tom and his pal Matt Doyle (Edward Woods) begin lives of petty thievery and robbery that culminate in their rise to the top of the underworld. At first they throw in with the double-crossing Putty Nose (Murray Kinnell), who sets Tom and Matt up in their first real job; a fur heist that goes horribly wrong, and leaves them on the run, wanted by the law.
When the heat dies down, Tom and Matt find work with crime boss Paddy Ryan (Robert Emmett O'Connor), a tough bootlegger who takes advantage of Prohibition to sell cheap beer to a strong of speakeasies. Tom and Matt are the "enforcers" who strong-arm the reluctant owners of the illicit taverns to take Paddy's beer, or else. But rival mobs are soon trying to muscle in on Paddy's racket, and Tom is kidnapped by Paddy's competition. In the film's justly famous final sequence, Paddy negotiates Tom's "release" and his return home; not alive, however, but as a bloodied corpse, falling over the family doorstep like a package of day old meat, as his mother makes his bed upstairs.
Cagney almost didn't get the part that made him a star. Filming started with Donald Cook in the role of Tom, and Cagney as the straight-arrow Mike, but within days, Wellman realized that the small, tough Cagney was much better suited to the role, and reshot the scenes to make the switch. In one scene, in which Tom is nearly killed in a machine gun ambush by members of a rival mob, Wellman did in fact use a sharp shooter with a real Tommy gun to shoot bullets at a brick wall, just second after Cagney dodged around the corner. That wall still stands on the Warner Bros. back lot to this day, bullet holes and all.
Shot quickly on a tight budget of roughly $150,000, The Public Enemy defined the gangster film for a rough, violent era in American society, and clicked resoundingly with audiences of the era, who saw the film as a modern morality tale, once again proving that in the end, "crime does not pay."

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported U.S. sales fell for the eighth consecutive quarter as expensive gasoline pressured consumers, and the largest retailer said it is raising prices for some foods to offset inflation in meat, milk and other products.
Surging gasoline prices and high unemployment pushed consumers toward discounted items and cheaper private label products, according to Wal-Mart's quarterly results released May 17. Many Wal-Mart customers are consolidating shopping trips to save money on fuel, the company said.
"We saw continued pressure from ongoing macro economic conditions, as customers continued to trade down," Bill Simon, chief executive of the retailer's U.S. operations, said during a pre-recorded conference call released May 17 along with financial results.
"Rising gas prices, high unemployment and increasing inflation continue to be the most important issues facing our customers today," Simon said, according to a transcript of the call.
Wal-Mart is putting renewed emphasis on its long-running "Every Day Low Prices" promotions to win back customers. But, like other food retailers, Wal-Mart is also passing along higher costs for beef, pork and other commodities to its shelves.
During the previous quarter, Wal-Mart's grocery inflation was about 1 percent, "with the greatest impact on perishables," Simon said.
Rising retail prices are stirring concern that beef and pork demand will suffer as consumers shift to cheaper meats, such as chicken. Retail meat prices rose an average of 9.5 percent a month this year through April, compared with the same month in 2010, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That compares to a 2.8-percent increase for all 2010.
As the largest U.S. food retailer, Wal-Mart is a major buyer of beef, pork, milk and other fresh foods. In the 12 months ended January 31, groceries accounted for 54 percent of Wal-Mart's U.S. sales, or nearly $141 billion, according to a recent company filing.
Wal-Mart's U.S. sales sagged over the past two years as the economy recovered slowly from the 2008-09 recession and consumers increasingly sought bargains at dollar stores and other discounters. More recently, pump gasoline near or above $4 a gallon has squeezed Wal-Mart's customers.
Comparable U.S. store sales excluding gasoline fell 1.1 percent during the 13 weeks ended April 29 compared with the same period a year earlier, Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart said May 17. The sales figure excludes Sam's Club, Wal-Mart's warehouse store chain.
As in previous quarters, Wal-Mart singled out its grocery business as a bright spot. Groceries posted a "low single-digit" comparable-store sales increase, in percentage terms, during the quarter, Simon said.
"Our food business is delivering positive sales growth that's on par with the top competitors," Simon said during the call.
Sam's Club continued to fare better than Wal-Mart's namesake U.S. stores. Comparable store sales rose 4.2 percent excluding fuel during the quarter amid strength in fresh food and apparel, said Brian Cornell, chief executive of Sam's Club.
"We continue to see inflation in key categories such as produce, meat and dairy," Cornell said during the conference call. "However, we managed through inflation, with little impact on our margin and have seen continued growth in units sold year-over-year."
Wal-Mart's sales slump may end during the current quarter, Simon indicated, though the company remains cautious on the economy. Wal-Mart said it expects comparable store sales for the quarter that ends in July to range between a decline of 1 percent and a rise of 1 percent.
A widely-followed gauge of retailer performance, comparable store sales typically reflect locations open at least a year.
"We're monitoring the economic environment carefully, as significant changes in gas prices and inflation during the quarter will influence our actual performance," Simon said.
Gasoline prices soared this year as turmoil in Libya and other top petroleum countries of North Africa and the Middle East sent crude oil above $110 a barrel. Earlier this week, regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.94 a gallon nationwide, up 37 percent from $2.87 a year ago, according to AAA, the auto trade association.
Wal-Mart's quarterly results still topped analyst expectations, with the retailer's net income rising 3.9 percent amid stronger international sales.
During the three months ended April 29, Wal-Mart's fiscal 2012 first quarter, net income rose to $3.43 billion from $3.3 billion a year earlier. Per-share earnings of 97 cents surpassed the average analyst estimate by about 2 cents, according to Yahoo! Finance.
Wal-Mart's total revenue rose 4.3 percent to $103.4 billion.

If you have previously attended an IMS Family Retreat, we invite you to apply.
All scholarship funds have been awarded.
The Buddha taught that all conditioned things have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And so it is with this Family Retreat – the 2014 course will be the last to be held at IMS. For the past 30 years or so, families, volunteers, teachers and staff have helped establish a rich environment for practice, friendship and fun, where cutting-edge experiments in relational dharma have unfolded.
The 2014 retreat will continue the experiment of connecting our hearts. Together, we will cultivate the beautiful mind states of lovingkindness, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity. These practices will support us as we both acknowledge the array of emotions evoked by this ending and celebrate the gifts we have received over the years.
The teachers and staff are planning a celebration of the 30-year history of the Family Retreat at IMS. This will take place on the last afternoon of the course, July 20. Families who have attended the retreat in the past are warmly invited to this gathering, even if you are not participating in the 2014 course. More details will be posted here and emailed.
This course gives parents of young children the chance for supported practice time. An adult dharma program and a simultaneous, separate program for children aged 2–14 years (at the time of the retreat) take place each morning and evening. A parent or friend needs to stay with any child under two years old at all times. Families gather together three times daily.
This retreat is not open to teens aged 15 or older; however, those aged 14–18 may apply to serve as Young Adult Helpers.
If your teen is interested in serving as a Young Adult Helper, an application process is necessary. Please make sure the application reaches us prior to the lottery date.
For the children's program, which is staffed by volunteers who coordinate age-appropriate activities, a sliding scale fee applies: each family unit pays $60 – $175. Please specify the name, full date of birth and gender of all children when you register.
For those with allergies, please note that IMS serves peanut butter at some meals. Since all IMS accommodations are now singles – i.e. with just one bed – those wishing to share their room with other family members should bring enough suitable mattresses.

Dear Senior Engineers,
I got a problem using ni6143 with the on-demand method based on the file "aiex2.cpp" provided on the website. It is about the actual rate of sampling. It is said on the data sheet that the ni6143 could have the ability of acquiring data with the speed of 250kHz per channel, meaning that each data could be acquired in 4e-6 second. Then here is my question: if I use all the 8 channels (each at 250kHz), does it mean that I have to use 8[channels]*4e-6[seconds]=32e-6[seconds] to get a set of data (one data in each channel), or I can use only 4e-6[seconds] to get it? I use the on-demand method based on aiex2.cpp for the testing experiment. Inorder to check out what exactly is the rate of sampling, I use the digital I/O to set a signal at high before on-demand acquiring, and set it low when the data acquiring is finished. It shows on the oscillograph that the actual time for acquiring a set of data (one data in each channel) when I use 8 channels (each at 250kHz) is about 32e-6[seconds], which means that the device is acquiring data one channel by one channel, not simultaneously. I want to know whether there is any parameter I have to set with the registers, or the on-demand method could not acquire data with 8 channels simultaneously. My code is exactly the same with the file "aiex2.cpp".
Thanks for help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello Lircry,
The NI 6143 is advertised as 250KSamples/second/channel. This means that the on-board clocks on the board are able to trigger each ADC on the board to acquire at a rate of 250KSamples/second and each ADC will be sampling simultaniously with the other ADC's configured for the measurement.
That said, it's impossible to achieve these rates using the on-demand method. Instead of an on-board clock triggering the measurement, a register access is doing the job. A register access of course takes time. Then reading the data from the FIFO takes time (remember, the example reads the data before telling the next measurement to happen).
What are you trying to accomplish?
Steven T.
Thank you very much for your reply
I am trying to write a program to control a 7-axies motion system. The servo-period of this system is 200us, and I need to sample 5 times for each channel to reduce noise within a servo-period. If the on-demand method could not be used for simultaniously sampling at 250KHz, could you give me a suggestion for solution?
Thanks again.
Since you need a faster rate than you can achieve with the on-demand access. You should use aiex1.cpp. It demonstrates how to configure the on-board clocks to trigger the acquisitions on all ADCs at the same time. The rate is configurable, so you can change it to meet your needs.
Is there a reason why you can't use this mode?
Steven T.
Thanks again for your kind and patient reply
Actually I am now trying to ues the mode described in aiex1.cpp. But the example just teaches me how to acquire data with a fix number of samples. If I want to use it in a servo-period system that runs continuously, meaning that I need to acquire a set of data in every servo-period, what should I change in the codes?
Many thanks,
Hello Licry,
Yes, the example only shows how to acquire a fixed number of samples. One of the function calls that sets up the acquisition will allow you to set the hardware to continuously acquire...
aiNumberOfSamples(theSTC, numberOfSamples, kFalse); //false for finite, true for continuous
So you can set this to kTrue to make the acquisition continuous. In order for the task to keep running, your application needs to be able to access the data FIFO fast enough so that it does not overflow.
Secondly, every continuous acquisition must end sometime. When your loop has acquired all the data that the application want, it must issue some commands to stop the acquisition. The STC manual details the steps that can be taken to stop a continuous acquisition.
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/340934b.pdf (check section 220.127.116.11)
Steven T.
Thank you very much! I have settled down this problem finally.

Lawyers for a Jakarta-based senior Australian military officer accused of child porn offences say police lied to him and his wife in order to conduct searches without a warrant.
The man, who cannot be named, was attached to the Australian embassy in Jakarta.
He has been charged with 11 counts of producing child abuse material and three counts of possession. Some of the material allegedly depicts children he knows.
Police did not request their Indonesian counterparts to search the man's Jakarta home in order to avoid a diplomatic drama, his lawyer Jack Pappas said at a committal hearing in Darwin on Tuesday.
''You would rather have him prosecuted here without all the ugly publicity that would accompany [the case] overseas,'' he told Australian Federal Police Officer Peter Mellor.
Officer Mellor replied, ''That was a concern.''
He conceded that it is more difficult to obtain a search warrant from Indonesian authorities than from Australian authorities, but denied this was why the AFP had waited for the man to return to Darwin before searching his house and approaching him.
The AFP told Indonesian authorities only that they were carrying out policing work in Jakarta but not that they were going to search the man's house, the court heard.
Detective Superintendent Sandra Booth said the offences had been committed in Australia and the suspect had been in Australia at the time of the search, and Indonesian police had no jurisdiction over the case.
''We believed the best way to speak to the family was to have a conversation and talk about a consensual search process which was fully informed,'' she told the court.
Police waited until the man was in Australia and then went to his home, telling his wife they were investigating child abuse material that was downloaded to an IP address allocated to the family's home in Canberra, but said it had nothing to do with the man or any member of his family.
''That was a lie, wasn't it?'' Mr Pappas said.
Mr Mellor denied this, saying the man had not yet been a suspect.
''If a person is misled, their consent is not worth tuppence,'' Mr Pappas said.
While the man's Jakarta home was being searched with the consent of his wife, officers were waiting outside his Darwin hotel without a warrant, and approached him to talk without appropriate cautions.
He spoke to police and allowed them to examine his computer, admitting it contained adult pornography, before Mr Mellor cautioned him.
The committal trial continues. His wife sat beside him holding his hand throughout proceedings.

The Marin Community Foundation, taking what it called "the next step toward building affordable housing on Grady Ranch," wants developers to come forward.
The foundation issued a formal "request for qualifications" in order to identify developers interested in working on the project, which could include "a creative mix" of several hundred homes for seniors, families and individuals at the southeast corner of the ranch off Lucas Valley Road, north of San Rafael.
After filmmaker George Lucas withdrew plans for a film studio on the 236-acre tract earlier this year, he asked the foundation to head efforts to study an affordable housing development. Lucas, citing "the level of bitterness and anger expressed by the homeowners in Lucas Valley," said at the time he hoped "to find a developer who will be interested in low-income housing since it is scarce in Marin."
Lucas this fall announced he was selling his Lucasfilm operations to The Walt Disney Co., although the ranch lands he owns in Lucas Valley are not part of the $4 billion deal.
"We were delighted to be presented with this extraordinary opportunity by a singularly generous person," foundation president Thomas Peters said. "While specific details are yet to be decided, we are committed to ensuring that this project be environmentally sensitive, aesthetically pleasing and a welcome addition to the neighborhood."
Peters said the foundation is looking for developers who display "creative thinking about the type and structure of the project," including the mix of dwellings. Lucas is interested in being a good neighbor, Peters added, saying that plans would include building a berm and tree landscaping along Lucas Valley Road to hide the project from view.
Lucas Valley neighbors who opposed the film studio program have remained mum on the affordable housing program, and Liz Dale, a board member of the Lucas Valley Estates Homeowners Association which represents residents living next door to Grady Ranch, said Wednesday the group has taken no position on more housing in the neighborhood.
"We are thrilled that the request for qualifications is going out and that work is underway to find the best developer for the project," said Lucasfilm spokeswoman Lynne Hale. "It has been great to work with Tom Peters and his team. ... We know that under their leadership a beautiful development will be built for the people who need it the most."
Peters said officials want "qualified housing developers" to outline their experience as well as operational and financial abilities. Developers can receive a copy of the request document by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline for expressing interest is Jan. 18.
Peters hailed Lucas' generosity, but declined to discuss specifics of the filmmaker's land or other contribution to the project, adding, "Obviously we wouldn't be proceeding if the project wasn't viable."
The request document seeks "statements of experience and capacity from those respondents with a substantial record of success in developing affordable housing, and who have an interest in potentially submitting a project proposal for Grady Ranch."
The document adds: "While initial concepts have cited affordable housing for seniors, the project scope is open to ideas for a creative mix of individual and family units. The total number of units is also an open matter at this point, though it should be noted that preliminary inquiries with county staff indicate that the project may be eligible in the 200 to 300 unit range."
The request noted that "the overall scope of the project will also be subject to the parameters of the available buildable land, applicable permits, and aesthetically and environmentally appropriate design."
Peters said several applicants may be selected to submit specific project proposals in a process that will include guided visits to the site as well as access to a wealth of topographical, engineering and related data Lucasfilm consultants compiled about the land in studies over the past two decades.
Although the concept of affordable housing on the site three miles from the freeway is a new idea, market-rate housing was envisioned there for years. Before the Lucasfilm studio plan, the area was "planned for housing by the county's land use regulations," and a 114-home project once was approved for the ranch, noted Brian Crawford, head of the county Community Development Agency.
The Marin Community Foundation, one of the largest community foundations in the nation, manages the assets of the Leonard and Beryl H. Buck Trust and more than 500 charitable funds established by individuals, families and businesses. It has assets of $1.3 billion and distributes grants of about $60 million a year.

This week's petroleum supply data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which include robust builds in gasoline and distillate inventories and a slight decrease in crude oil inventories, mark a subsequent break from ten consecutive weeks of crude builds and 15 weeks of gasoline draws. Barring any unforeseen disruption in crude and product markets, this trend reversal, if confirmed in the next few weeks, may signal the start of a long-expected rebuilding of U.S. product inventories, as well as continued downward pressure on retail product prices this summer.
Directionally, the U.S. product markets tend to follow a seasonal pattern. U.S. refiners typically plan most of their maintenance activities during the first and fourth quarters. In the first quarter, maintenance is usually heaviest in February and early March. Reduced refinery inputs during that time lead to rising crude stocks but dwindling product inventories through the first quarter and into the second quarter. Seasonal swings in demand compound the effect of those shifts in the production cycle. Distillate inventories usually hit their trough in mid-April, following the heating season, while those of gasoline usually bottom out in May as winter-grade inventories are shed in favor of lower-volatility summer grades. May also typically marks an inflection point when refinery production returns in earnest. May is also when gasoline crack spreads typically reach their annual peak.
This year's trend in crude oil and product inventories had been broadly consistent with seasonal patterns, but both the crude build and product draws were steeper and more prolonged than could be fully attributed to planned maintenance: crude stocks posted builds of 22.3 million barrels (12.8 million barrels more than the five-year average) between early April and late May (Figure 1), even as gasoline stocks drew by 21.7 million barrels (10.3 million barrels more than the five-year average) and distillate stocks by 18.1 million barrels (18.1 million barrels more than the five-year average).
Increasing domestic crude oil production and below-average refinery runs caused crude inventories to grow strongly this spring. Through the first quarter of 2012, refineries ran at levels comparable to, and at times above, their five-year average. But a string of unplanned outages on the West Coast (most notably at BP's Cherry Point refinery in Washington state) kept U.S. gross refinery inputs flat through April, a time when refineries normally ramp up production ahead of summer. Strong crude production, which in the four weeks leading up to June 1 averaged 13 percent higher than a year ago in the lower 48 states, coupled with flat refinery inputs in April, set off the current run-up in crude oil inventories, which reached 384.7 million barrels on May 25, their highest level since July 1990. Much of the stock overhang found its way to the Cushing, Oklahoma storage and trading hub. The increase in Cushing inventories accounted for almost 30 percent (6.6 million barrels) of the total U.S. crude oil inventory build in April and May, a testament to the growing midcontinent production. The Gulf Coast accounted for another 44 percent (9.8 million barrels), aided by growing production from the Eagle Ford tight oil formation and the Permian Basin.
In contrast, the combination of flat refinery inputs and a steep year-on-year decline in gasoline imports led to a sharp draw in gasoline inventories. From a surplus of 7.4 million barrels (3.4 percent) compared to their five-year average on January 13, gasoline stocks swung to a deficit of 7.6 million (3.7 percent) by May 25. Especially-steep drops on the West Coast led the decline. Distillate inventories, which had closely tracked their five-year average through the first quarter, also began to drift lower in April as refinery inputs languished. Distillate inventories fell 18.1 million barrels from the end of the first quarter to May 25, failing to commence their typical gradual seasonal build.
A late-spring uptick in refinery inputs had been slow, until last week, to stem the persistent inventory trends. With the exception of the West Coast, prices did not respond strongly to persistent product inventory draws, owing to the general weakness in U.S. petroleum demand and renewed concerns regarding global economic growth. Based on monthly data, total U.S. consumption of petroleum products was down 3.9 percent (750,000 barrels per day [bbl/d]) year-over-year in the first quarter. While weekly data show some signs of firming U.S. demand, crack spreads on the Gulf Coast and trans-Atlantic product price differentials have not strengthened to the degree one might expect, especially given the persistent inventory draws.
The tepid flow of product imports into the U.S. market further compounded product draws. Often when domestic refinery inputs slump and inventories draw, wholesale gasoline prices in the United States rise compared to those in Europe, sending a market signal to ship gasoline across the Atlantic. But these price differentials have not materialized in the current market cycle. In April and May, wholesale gasoline in New York Harbor prices averaged a one cent discount to the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp product hub, providing no incentive to move significant volumes of European products to the United States. In the four weeks leading up to June 1, the United States imported 721,000 bbl/d of gasoline, 39 percent less than the almost 1.2 million bbl/d imported over the same period a year earlier.
In May, typically the month with the highest crack spreads in the eastern half of the country, Gulf Coast 3-2-1 crack spreads fell one cent per gallon below their five-year average level for the month, and in New York Harbor that crack spread moved to seven cents per gallon below its typical 34 cents per gallon. The one exception was the West Coast, where crack spreads increased from April to May (the West Coast usually sees an April peak), as resolution to the outages in the regions was slow to develop.
Despite seemingly unattractive crack spreads, refinery runs did post a steep rebound in the latest week, however, as West Coast and East Coast refining operations continued to recover from earlier unplanned outages and new capacity came on stream in the Gulf Coast. It has also helped that U.S. refineries in the Mid-Continent enjoy relatively low priced crude oil feedstock and exceptionally low natural gas prices, reducing their operating costs (which are largely driven by energy consumed in the refining process), thus padding their profit margins. With refinery inputs rising seasonally, product inventories, barring any further disruption in supply, seem likely to make up for lost time and may start rebuilding at a brisk pace, as sluggish demand growth compounds the effect of recovering production. Current indications point to a comfortable supply-demand balance in product markets through the summer, and a possibly challenging environment for margins.

10 cars, total budget infinite, but just to add some common sense and make it more difficult: only three cars (in total) worth more than £1 milion each, of which only two can be worth more than £5 million and only one of those two worth more than £10 million.
Of course, there is no compulsion to include the superexotica and you can bring the whole lot in at £5k if you like, but some justification for your choices and estimate of total value might make things more interesting.
Here's the cop-out: I'm still thinking about mine, but WILL post them soon.
ASTON MARTIN DB5 Volante
ALFA ROMEO Giulia 1600 Super
FERRARI 250 SWB California
ALFA ROMEO Giulia TZ
CITROEN ID Break
LANCIA Flaminia cabriolet
Frazer-Nash Le Mans rep
Lotus 47
Dizzy Addicott Lotus 15 V8
Unipower GT
Abarth Simca 2000 GT Corsa
Deep Sanderson 301
Porsche 910
Aston Martin V8 Zagato Vantage Volante
MG K3 Magnette
1. Maserati Quattroporte Series 1
2. Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux
3. Anadol Bocek (a little something for the beach...)
4. Lamborghini Countach LP400
5. Mercedes-Benz 190SL
6. Maserati Ghibli
7. Bentley 8-Litre
8. Bizzarini 5300
9. Fiat Maserati/Ferrari Race Transporter
10. 1964 Lincoln Continental (1 out of 10, must work harder...)
Ok, my first stab at this. Not sure whether I will just endlessly edit this post, or keep adding more 10s, but I know I'm not finished!
Jaguar XKSS
This covers all my Jaguar needs in one. Obviously I would like a C or D, but I can only pick 10
Ferrari 250GT SWB
The best all-round Ferrari for looks, practicality, comfort, speed and usability.
Lamborghini Miura
Still way undervalued in my view. A benchmark beauty
McLaren F1
On principal. As Gordon Murray himself says, this represents the last time that anyone will ever be given a clean sheet of paper and told to design the best, utterly without compromise. Historically important for that alone, let alone its astonishing performance.
Lotus Elan
Nothing communicates with a driver and looks after them like this. I know I am biased, but I have driven a lot of cars and in gearbox action, handling and steering none of the proper, older classics can match the humble Elan
Lancia Aurelia B20GT
Sleek, beautifully, excessively engineered masterpiece. The car of choice of racing drivers in its day, with good reason
Mini Cooper "S"
Like the Elan, a car doesn't have to be big-engined or expensive to deliver fun and thrills in spades.
Audi RS2
Surprised myself by picking this above so many other cars, but everyone needs an estate on the driveway and this one, with its Porsche elements is completely bonkers.
Frazer Nash Targa Florio
For me the ultimate 1950s sports car. Bristol engine please and the original styling, not the open Le Mans Coupé version
Ferrari Dino 246GT
Another one that may be considered unambitious given the unlimited budget, but I have adored this car my entire life and don't intend to stop now.
Wow, no place for Ace, Cobra, GTO, any Porsche, any Bugatti, 8C or anything pre-war (I may have to come back and edit this!). So many missing greats, but if I had that little lot I would still be a very happy bunny.
Quick and dirty:
Alfa Romeo Giulia Super TI (one of the the 501 lightweights)
Lamborghini Espada
DB4 GT (no Zagato!)
Lancia Flaminia Zagato
Maserati Sebring
Fiat Dino Coupé 2000 (giallo positano with blue interior)
Peugeot 504 TI (pre-74)
Peugeot 504 Riviera
Ford Mustang Shelby 350 GT
AC Cobra 289 Racecar

AC Cobra 289 Racecar
Packard Twelve (either Formal or Touring Sedan, in black, exact series not important) - Big, seriously cool cars.
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am ('77 - '78) - Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit gives these cars all the street cred you'll ever need.
GAZ-12 ZIM - My grandfather bought one new to use as a taxi. Obviously an import permission was easier to get for even such a stately Eastern Bloc vehicle than for more humble Western one.
Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina - The compulsory Alfa.
Triumph Stag - The compulsory great British might-have-been.
Saab 99 Finlandia - A domestic luxury car. Sort of.
Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (C4) - Nice clean lines, and personally I see these as icons for the Reagan-era America (even if the convertible appeared only for '86 and onwards for that generation) that gave us TV-series like Knight Rider or Miami Vice and all those L.A. scene metal / hard rock bands.
Datsun 180B SSS Coupé (610 series) - Perhaps not a great car in itself, but quite pretty one imho. Besides, could use one for touring around Eastern Finland's summery countryside while listening to bands like Kaseva from the cassette player (Alfa and Saab would be too elitist for that purpose).
Jensen Interceptor (Mk II or III) - It's been said before, but it still is a perfect combination of Italian styling, English coachbuilding tradition and American V-8 power.
Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 - Chosen simply because none of the above is a proper sports car (I'd rate an open topped C4 'Vette more as a boulevard cruiser).
1. Bentley R Type Continental H.J. Mulliner Fastback (1954) - For those cross continent road trips
2. Bugatti Type 13 Brescia 2 Seat Dog Cart (1920) - for VSCC trails
3. Bugatti Type 57C Atlantic (1937) - for Pebble Beach
4. Model A Ford Hot Rod (1929) - for the Hot Rod Hayride
5. Ferarri 250GT SWB Berlinetta (1959) - for Tour Auto
6. Fiat 500 (1960) - for Tescos
7. Ford F-Series Pickup (1957) (Slammed Rat rod...) - for the Ace Cafe
8. Lancia Aurelia B20 GT (1956) - for the Monte Carlo Historic Rally
9. Maserati A6 GCS Berlinetta (1954) - for the Mille Miglia
10. Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 (1971) - for the smell of burning rubber
Hypothetical questions are fine. My dream garage is more realistic: Clear the clutter and seeing my Alfa 156 Sportwagon parked there.(perhaps a TR6 in addition)
This is mine (and I suspect many others) favourite game.
The answers can vary considerably , but here goes...
1) Mercedes Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe: possibly the best looking car ever built...
2) Jaguar D Type Short nose: except maybe for this one!
3) Frazer Nash Le Mans Rep: The ultimate car for the Sunday morning blast.
4) AC 428 Drophead number 1 LPH800D: My 'wet dream' car as a teenager, long thought disappeared, but exists in the US, completely original
5) Facel Vega HK500: Impossibly glamorous, especially on centre lock Rudges and on a Surrey reg number
6) 1973 Porsche 911 2.7 RS: No ultimate collection is complete without one!
7) 1971 Ferrari GTC 4: A more discreet choice than the GTB...
8) 1970 Range Rover Velar: Ideal for the weekly shop...
9) Current Maserati Quattroporte: and the run to church
10) Rolls Royce Phantom V: If it's good enough for the Beatles and Andrew Loog-Oldham...

Colleen Quinton had a good feeling when Allan Hawco walked on stage to announce the nominees for Best Achievement in Makeup at the inaugural Canadian Screen Awards in Toronto Sunday evening.
Her optimism never faded even though her name wasn't among those the "Republic of Doyle" star initially announced to the star-studded audience.
"Something happened to the teleprompter and my nomination wasn't there. But … he knew something was wrong," Quinton explained during a recent telephone interview.
She wasn't shy when Hawco asked if he was forgetting somebody.
"I put up my hand and said, 'Yes, me!'" Quinton laughs.
Hawco knew the names of the nominees and the films they were being recognized for and had no trouble adding Quinton's name to the list.
Those watching Sunday evening didn't see a blunder as the presentation took place just prior to the televised portion of the awards ceremony.
Quinton isn't sure why she felt she might be going home with a trophy once Hawco made his appearance. Like the majority of the people at the ceremony, he had no idea she was a Newfoundlander nor did the event organizers.
Quinton grew up in Catalina, Trinity Bay but comes from the Quinton family of merchants from Redcliffe, Bonavista Bay. A move to Montreal in 1984 kick-started her career in the film business.
Since that time, she's worked in 18 different countries while keeping Montreal as her home base.
Quinton has won every Canadian award in television or film for makeup: a Gemini for best achievement in makeup in 2011 ("The Pillars of the Earth"), a Jutra (Quebec Film Awards) for best achievement in makeup in Quebec in 2010 ("Cadavres") and her most recent award for "Laurence Anyways" — a feature film written and directed by Quebec filmmaker Xavier Dolan.
The film is based on a true story, is set in the 1980s and early 1990s and spans a decade.
"The story is about a guy and a girl who are in love and one day on his 30th birthday the guy decides to tell his girlfriend that he is transgender. But he loves this girl and wants it to work out," Quinton says.
The story follows the characters transformation from a male to female — and the girlfriend's decision about whether to stay in the relationship.
It was Quinton's job to transform the actor who she describes as "a very virile man from Paris" into a woman.
"We had to make the audience understand that he's going through a 10-year transformation. … It had to be a very delicate transformation that people would believe and they would love."
The Canadian Screen Awards combine what were formerly known as the Genie and Gemini Awards. Rick Mercer, Gordon Pinsent and Shawn Doyle of this province also won awards.
Quinton was delighted to meet Hawco and other Newfoundlanders in the film business Sunday evening, including Cathy Jones and Shaun Majumder.
Because she's been living outside the province for so long, she says, people aren't aware of her rural Newfoundland roots.
Quinton is about to start a pilot project for the television network ABC, and will then be working on what she calls a "major feature film" with 20th Century Fox.
She'll also spend time at her home in Redcliffe this summer.
But before that, she's hoping to add another trophy to her collection when the Jutra's announce the winner for best achievement in makeup. The ceremony takes place later this month. She is nominated for "Laurence Always."
Hawco said he had no idea the woman walking on stage was from his home province until Quinton quickly told him, just before he handed her the trophy.
"I was kind of in shock a little bit that I didn't know. I felt ashamed that I wasn't aware of it."
When asked about the blunder, Hawco said his theatrical background has taught him never to rely solely on a teleprompter, although it did kick in with Quinton's name after the pause.
As someone who has always strived to promote and help Newfoundland artists, Hawco is delighted to add Quinton's name to that list.
"Every day I discover that there's a different Newfoundlander working in our industry. It blows my mind to know how much we sometimes take for granted, what a creative group we are and how involved we are in the arts. The presence we have nationally, for such a small population, is staggering."
Quinton was also a past nominee for an Emmy for her work on "The Pillars of the Earth."
The trophy that's touted as the highest award in television alluded her in the past, but she's holding out that it could come her way this year for her work on "World Without End" — a sequel to "The Pillars of the Earth."
The film, which aired in 2012, was shot in Budapest, Austria and Slovakia.
"I'm hoping that will go to the Emmys," she said.

Indianapolis snatched another former Ravens player by signing S Tom Zbikowski , the Chicago Tribune reported. Zbikowski began 2011 as a starter before relinquishing his role to S Bernard Pollard. Zbikowski reunites with former Ravens DE Cory Redding and Colts coach Chuck Pagano, who was Baltimore's DC in 2011.
He will probably have a lot of hometown support.

LOS ANGELES -- "Zero Dark Thirty" hunted down the top spot at the box office - and easily won it.
Sony Pictures' Osama bin Laden raid drama nabbed first place with $24 million in its first weekend in wide release, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The film, which opened in a limited run last month, earned five Oscar nominations last week, including best picture, original screenplay and actress for Jessica Chastain as a dogged CIA operative.
Open Road Films' horror parody "A Haunted House" starring Marlon Wayans debuted in second place with a solid $18.8 million. The Warner Bros. mobster drama "Gangster Squad," starring Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as off-the-books police officers battling a mob boss played by Sean Penn, opened below expectations in third place with $16.7 million.
After earning Oscar nominations last week, several Academy Awards contenders benefited at the box office. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences moved up the unveiling of the Oscar nominations to Thursday, three days ahead of Sunday's Golden Globes, Hollywood's second-biggest awards ceremony organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"The timing is great because there are a host of these awards contenders still out there," said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst at Hollywood.com. " 'Django Unchained,' 'Les Miserables,' 'Lincoln,' 'Silver Linings Playbook' and a few others are still out there. Which movies win tonight at the Golden Globes will definitely receive a boost going forward."
At the Golden Globes, "Zero Dark Thirty" will be up against "Argo," "Django Unchained," "Life of Pi" and "Lincoln" in the best motion picture drama category. It's also competing against those films for the best picture prize at the Oscars ceremony on Feb. 24, as well as "Amour," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
Controversies surrounding "Zero Dark Thirty," which depicts waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods, may have helped create buzz for the film. Several lawmakers accused the CIA of misleading "Zero Dark Thirty" filmmakers by allegedly telling them such interrogation methods helped track down terrorist mastermind bin Laden in 2011.

POMONA, CA--(Marketwire - January 17, 2012) -
Gugelchuk, the university's executive vice provost, succeeds Ben Cohen, DO, who asked that he be relieved of the Provost/COO duties so that he can focus on the University's strategic planning process. Dr. Cohen will become Advisor to the President for Strategic Planning. The administrative changes will be effective Feb. 6, 2012.
"I am sure that each of you shares with me our deep appreciation for the excellent role Ben has performed for the university as provost," Dr. Pumerantz said in a message to the university's Board of Trustees. "I am also honored that his commitment to the university is so strong that he wishes to continue his involvement in this important but different role. We all owe him our thanks for a job well done."
Dr. Cohen -- whose career includes stints as Provost and Senior Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean for the College of Osteopathic Medicine at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, and as Founding Dean of the Osteopathic School at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey -- joined WesternU in 2005. He is credited as being the main architect of the university's academic and physical expansion over the past five years. WesternU has added four colleges and more than a quarter-million feet of instructional and research space during his tenure, and total enrollment surged past 3,000 for the first time in 2011-12.
Dr. Gugelchuk has served in a variety of roles since joining the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) more than 25 years ago, including as a health professions faculty member, dean of the College of Allied Health Professions, Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Senior Vice President for Executive Affairs. He has been Executive Vice Provost since 2010.
"We are fortunate that an accomplished, capable and committed person like Gary is already part of the WesternU family and welcomes the opportunity to serve as provost and COO," Dr. Pumerantz said. "I have worked side by side with Gary for 25 years, and remain constantly impressed by his thoughtfulness and vision. We are in excellent hands with him as our new provost."
About Western University of Health Sciences

Brady wants Philly to take a chance on running a casino
The competition to build Philadelphia's next casino is under way, again. While a well-known Philadelphia developer and an established casino mogul are among those vying for the city's second license, a local lawmaker has an idea of his own.
While others focus on slot machines and table games, Congressman Bob Brady is thinking about schoolchildren and union members. He wants the city to open the next casino so it can best benefit from the revenue.
"Why should we make millionaires, billionaires? And some of our billionaires twice?" Brady said. "We've got a chance to make a whole lot of money and that money, I thought, we could dedicate to the school district and to help the city pension fund become solvent -- help our union brothers and sisters that are having a problem with a contract mainly because of the pension fund."
Brady said the idea for a city-owned casino came from a well-known Chicago politician.
"I served with Rahm Emanuel, who was the chief of the staff of President Obama, now the mayor of Chicago," Brday said. "And we talked about it about a year or two ago and it was part of his platform. He's still trying to get a casino owned by the city of Chicago."
Brady suggested the casino could be built on city-owned property in South Philadelphia that's under the Walt Whitman Bridge.

The ace pot at a doubles league night stands at $784. A guy hits a wedgie with a driver, but it is finally determined by the owner of the course and guy who runs the league that it is not an ace. I know the rules about un-witnessed blind shots and such, but I'll let you guys have some opinions. I'm throwing in some links as I suck at actually adding pictures to the text area. I have no real feelings either way about the outcome because my partner and I took home $80 a piece for a first place finish.
http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course_pi ... ceed9d.jpg
The basket is straight away just to the left of the small birch lit up by the sunlight. You can the basket from the tee pad, but not very well. You would get lucky to go up the middle, but there are lanes up the left and right side that most people use.
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 7590_n.jpg
Here is a picture of his shot. The shot went up the left side. Neither of the doubles teams claim to have seen the shot, but definitely heard it hit the cage, but no sounds of chains. That is the front left side of the basket.
Is it really a blind hole or were either of the teams actually paying attention? I can see the basket when I throw from the tee, but who knows what other people do after they throw their disc. Physics might say the way the disc was angled it couldn't have hit from the inside and wedgied on the way out? Perhaps there was another thrower on the grassy knoll?
What do you think?

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke is expected to announce a target for an increase in the number of English players in the Premier League when he reveal the findings of his England Commission on Thursday.
Dyke set up the commission to tackle the issues around the lack of opportunities for English players in the top flight and also focus on the future of the England team.
The findings, including proposals for some clubs to have 'B' teams playing lower league football, as they do in Germany and Spain, will be announced at Wembley Stadium at 2pm.
The report from Dyke is also likely to call for a crackdown on the abuse of work permits for non-EU players - the rules state they are supposed to be regular internationals but that is often not the case.
Increasing the number of coaches is also expected to be highlighted as a crucial area, according to sources. England has 1,161 coaches at UEFA 'A' level, compared with 12,720 in Spain and 5,500 in Germany.
The main thrust of the findings, however, is likely to include a target for England to come more into line with countries such as Spain and Germany by a set date.
A study in October by the BBC found English footballers accounted for less than a third of all the minutes played in the Premier League - 32.26 per cent, which is significantly lower than all other major European leagues.
Spaniards accounted for 59 per cent of all minutes played in La Liga, while in Germany's Bundesliga Germans made up 50 per cent.
Dyke presented his findings to the FA board on Wednesday and will do the same to the Football League board before the public launch.
There is already considerable opposition to a plan for a new 'B' team league - especially the option of a newly-created division which would be placed between League Two and the Conference.
The Premier League favour a beefed-up under-23 league to replace the current under-21 competition, while there is also a feeling that there already is a breakthrough taking place with young English players, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Adam Lallana, Jay Rodriguez, Luke Shaw and Ross Barkley promising a bright future for the national side.
Lower-league clubs and those in the Conference, meanwhile, are fearful about the impact on them, if well-resourced under-21 sides from wealthy Premier League clubs compete with them for league places.

This is the prettiest enamel. It's a swirly rust pattern. There is a little tab thing to open, but is stuck and I'm afraid I"ll break it. There is writing on back of bow part, but wait, lemme try to read it again with magnafine glass... Can't make it out at all, but looks like a mixture of letters and numbers. Perhaps roman numerals.

A GROWING TORRENT of bald eagles winging over icy waters marks the first days of November on the California-Oregon border. Casting massive shadows over the eastern side of the Cascades, the eagles approach from as far as Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Alaska's Chilkat River on their annual pilgrimage to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. One by one, the mammoth birds buzz the flocks of geese and ducks gliding across the refuge waters, then circle back to weed out the weakest members.
By December, the eagles cluster together between hunting forays, like groups of white-haired men yakking about the weather. Come New Year's Day their numbers can be 500 strong, and the neighboring Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge can host several hundred more. "You will see them perched in willow trees along the auto routes and standing on the ice, a lot of times with other raptors, ravens and even coyotes," says Klamath Basin refuge biologist Dave Mauser. "The birds are fairly used to people, allowing visitors closer views than most other places, often from 50 feet away."
At night, the eagles roost on outstretched limbs of Douglas fir trees and ponderosa pines in a shadowy mountain forest beyond the eastern edge of the refuge. Just before sunrise, they lift off en mass and wing toward their feeding grounds. "It's amazing to see large numbers of these birds flying right over your head," Mauser says.
RECOVERED FROM NEAR EXTINCTION, bald eagles are once again numerous on the Upper Mississippi River and elsewhere in the Lower 48. Wintering eagles frequently perch on outstretched tree limbs adjacent to lakes and waterways.
The annual concentration of bald eagles in the Klamath Basin is a sign of the species' remarkable recovery throughout the Lower 48. Throngs of eagles from Alaska and Canada have always shifted south in winter. But eagle numbers in the contiguous United States had plummeted by the 1960s, when fewer than 500 nesting pairs survived south of the Canadian border. Today, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) prepares to graduate our national symbol from the Endangered Species List, that number has grown to more than 7,000 pairs of year-round residents. Winter populations also have increased steadily, says Karen Steenhof, a U.S. Geological Survey wildlife biologist who oversees the annual mid-winter bald eagle survey in the contiguous United States, a program launched by the National Wildlife Federation in 1979.
Steenhof remembers a time when it was rare to see bald eagles in many parts of the country, including Idaho, where she lives. Now, from the windswept shores of the Chesapeake Bay to Washington State's winding Skagit River, dozens, even hundreds, of the birds congregate each winter along waters in every state except Hawaii.
DESPITE A WINGSPAN as wide as eight feet, bald eagles are agile fliers. Dexterity plays a critical role in territorial battles, hunting and courtship. Young bald eagles, such as these birds sparring over a snow goose kill in Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, remain dark brown in color until their fourth or fifth year, when their head and tail feathers turn white.
Steenhof began her eagle-watching career at South Dakota's Karl E. Mundt National Wildlife Refuge, named for a senator who worked on an early version of the law most credited for the eagle's recovery, the Endangered Species Act. If it weren't for this law, along with the nationwide ban of DDT in 1972, scientists say the eagle could not have recovered to current levels.
Jody Millar, the FWS biologist heading the team that will monitor the bald eagle after delisting, says the numbers of eagles wintering along the Upper Mississippi River now rival those of Alaska's Chilkat River, which boasts the world's largest winter bald eagle population. "We have estimated that as many as 4,000 eagles winter along the Upper Mississippi," says Millar. However, the eagles are spread over several hundred miles, resulting in a smaller population density than on the Chilkat.
Ten Great Places to See Eagles This Winter
1. KLAMATH BASIN, on the California-Oregon border, hosts the largest concentration of wintering bald eagles in the Lower 48. As many as 1,000 eagles occupy the refuge complex during the peak months of January and February. Many of the birds are visible from the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake auto tours. Call the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge at (530) 667-2231, or visit the refuge online at http://klamathbasinrefuges.fws.gov.
2. UPPER SKAGIT RIVER WATERSHED in Northwest Washington draws hundreds of eagles to tens of thousands of dead and dying salmon at the end of the spawning season. Eagle numbers peak in late December and early January. Contact the Bald Eagle Interpretive Center in mid-December through mid-February at (360) 853-7077, or (360) 853-7283 during the rest of the year. Information is also available at www.skagiteagle.org.
3. UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER is jam-packed with bald eagles in winter, and some of the best views are available below the locks and dams. Visit Nelson Dewey State Park in Cassville, Wisconsin, in December through February. Contact the park at (608) 725-5374, and find out more about Cassville's eagles at www.cassville.org/nelsondewey.html.
4. MISSOURI'S SQUAW CREEK NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE is festooned with bald eagles in November and December, when the waterfowl population peaks. Many eagles perch along the main auto loop. Contact the refuge at (800) 877-8339, or visit http://midwest.fws.gov/SquawCreek.
5. WOLF LODGE BAY within Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho is frequented by dozens of migratory bald eagles when the kokanee salmon start to spawn. The eagles begin arriving in November, and the largest concentrations generally occur in late December and early January. Contact the Bureau of Land Management at (208) 769-5000. For an online brochure including a map of eagle viewing sites, see www.id.blm.gov/publications/data/eagles_wlb.pdf.
6. QUABBIN RESERVOIR in Massachusetts is one of the Northeast's best-known winter eagle lookouts. Bald eagles were introduced there in the 1980s. Today, year-round resident eagles are joined by dozens more in winter, with numbers peaking in February. Contact the visitor center at (413) 323-7221.
7. KARL E. MUNDT NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE in South Dakota hosts anywhere from 50 to 200 bald eagles in winter. The birds begin to arrive in late October. Numbers peak in December and January. Contact the refuge at (605) 487-7603, or visit http://mountain-prairie.fws.gov/refuges/mundt.
8. NEW YORK'S HUDSON RIVER AND SULLIVAN COUNTY provide abundant opportunities to see congregations of wintering bald eagles less than a two-hour drive from midtown Manhattan. Contact the Hudson River Foundation, (212) HUDSONR or visit www.hudsonriver.org. For information about Sullivan County's eagles, call The Eagle Institute at (845) 557-6162, or visit www.eagleinstitute.org.
9. BLACKWATER NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE in Maryland is a place to see abundant eagles not only in winter, but also throughout the rest of the year. The refuge hosts a healthy breeding population of bald eagles and high concentrations of wintering eagles drawn by migratory waterfowl each winter. Contact the refuge at (410) 228-2677 or see http://blackwater.fws.gov.
10. OKLAHOMA'S RIVER AND RESERVOIRS host large numbers of bald eagles each winter. Some of the best public viewing is available at three sites: Kaw Lake near Ponca City, Salt Plains Lake near Enid and the Keystone Reservoir on the confluence of the Cimarron and Arkansas Rivers on the west side of Tulsa. Contact the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation at (405) 521-4616, or visit www.wildlifedepartment.com/species.htm.
For viewing locations throughout the continental United States, see the web exclusive "Eagle Watching in Winter" below.
Surprisingly, the region in the Lower 48 with some of the most pronounced gains in eagle numbers during the past three decades is the heavily developed Northeast. In New York State, the bald eagle population has rebounded from a single nonreproductive pair in 1974 to more than 84 healthy breeding pairs today, thanks in large part to eagle reintroduction efforts that became the model for recovery programs in many other states. In New York's Sullivan County, as many as 230 eagles now congregate on the Upper Delaware River and several neighboring reservoirs from December through February.
"It's a great opportunity for people from the New York City region to see bald eagles less than a two-hour drive from their front doors," says Lori Danuff McKean, founding director of The Eagle Institute, a local nonprofit. But, she adds, "it's both a blessing and a curse to be that close to a metropolitan area." While visiting urbanites enjoy a chance to experience large numbers of eagles in their natural habitat, the birds are sensitive to human disturbances that prompt them to take flight, wasting valuable energy.
NWF Priority
Expanding the Eagle's Range
Vermont is the only state in the contiguous United States that lacks nesting bald eagles. But last spring, NWF helped launch the Vermont Bald Eagle Restoration Initiative, which aims to reestablish a breeding eagle population in the Green Mountain State by releasing as many as 30 eagle fledglings in the Lake Champlain Valley over the next three years.
The first eight eaglets fledged last summer after being raised by NWF staff and volunteers at several "hack sites"--large, enclosed structures that hold the birds until they're ready to be released. In a few years these eagles might return to set up breeding areas. Follow the project's progress at www.cvps.com/eagles. For more about NWF's endangered species work, see our wildlife page.
The Eagle Institute's staff and volunteers man spotting scopes at several lookouts to help visitors locate the birds and to promote responsible "eagle etiquette." "Ninety-nine percent of the people are very respectful of the eagles and their habitat," says Danuff McKean. "That one percent doing something disruptive—trying to get closer to an eagle for a photograph, throwing something to make a bird fly, slamming car doors, honking horns—usually doesn't know they're causing harm. We tell them they're disturbing the birds, and most people are responsive."
As the coldest days of winter creep in, eagles in Sullivan County and elsewhere sometimes seek less-frozen hunting grounds even farther south. "The show starts just before Thanksgiving," says Christopher Letts, staff naturalist at the Hudson River Foundation in New York City. "First it's a trickle—one, two, three birds—then day by day, week by week, cold front by cold front, we see this wave of eagles rolling down on us."
Letts routinely drives a 25-mile circuit along the Hudson on winter mornings to look for eagles. Most days he counts as many as 40 birds at a half dozen stops on his route. One February morning in 2002, he hit the mother load: 74 eagles sitting on a long, skinny ice flow. "They'll ride that ice like it's a moving sidewalk," Letts says.
From a vantage point on Peekskill's China Pier, roughly 30 miles north of Manhattan, he watched in awe as that mass of eagles basked in the sun with outstretched wings, calling to one another and shuffling on the slippery ice. "Eagles move people the way nothing else does," Letts says. "And if you're looking for them, they're there."
Associate editor Rene Ebersole lives on the eastern shore of the eagle-rich Chesapeake Bay.
UPDATE: Thanks to years of successful conservation efforts, the bald eagle has recovered and was pulled from the endangered species list in 2007. To learn more, watch NWF Naturalist David Mizejewski in a video.

Eagle Etiquette
When you head out to see eagles, keep in mind that human presence can stress the birds and cause them to waste precious energy that they need to survive. To avoid being disruptive, follow these basic tips:
Stay in or near your vehicle at roadside viewing areas
Move quickly and quietly to observation blinds, where you will be safely hidden from the birds' view
Avoid making loud noises, such as yelling, slamming car doors and honking horns.
Use binoculars or a spotting scope to view the birds from a comfortable distance. Never attempt to make an eagle fly

The Bald Eagle in America
Some wildlife experts estimate that when the first Europeans arrived on the continent, between 250,000 and 500,000 bald eagles--roughly 100,000 of them in the Lower 48--occupied the United States.
In 1782, the bald eagle was declared America's national symbol.
The first major decline in the bald eagle population is believed to have occurred in the late 1800s, when large numbers of waterfowl--a primary food source for eagles--were hunted for the feather trade. Eagles were also hunted.
The passage of the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940 prohibited the killing or selling of bald eagles. The act also increased public awareness of the eagle's plight.
In the aftermath of World War II, use of the pesticide DDT became common on American farms. By way of runoff, the pesticide washed into rivers, streams and lakes and collected in the fatty tissues of fish. Many eagles feeding contaminated fish became sterile. Others continued to reproduce, but their eggs were so weakened by the pesticide that they cracked under the weight of incubating adults.
By 1963, only 417 nesting pairs of bald eagles survived in the Lower 48.
In 1967, the secretary of the interior listed bald eagles south of the 40th parallel as endangered under the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966.
The use of DDT was banned in the United States in 1972.
Following the enactment of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, the bald eagle was listed as endangered throughout the lower 48 states, except in Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin, where it was designated as threatened. (The species has never been listed as threatened or endangered in Alaska; populations there have always remained stable.)
1973-1995: The eagle's protected status provides the springboard for the eagle's accelerated recovery through captive breeding programs, reintroduction efforts, law enforcement and the protection of nest sites during the breeding season.
In 1995, the bald eagle's status was reduced from endangered to threatened. An estimated 4,712 nesting pairs occupied the Lower 48.
When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) first proposed removing the bald eagle from the endangered species list in 1999, the breeding population south of Alaska stood at 5,748 pairs.
As of this writing, the contiguous United States reportedly held more than 7,066 breeding pairs of bald eagles and the FWS was again preparing to propose the bald eagle for delisting, which some predict could happen within the year.
