Engravable gold charms

It's often an emotional moment for both the incoming and outgoing presidents. Although the formal transfer of power is still more than two months away, the 'psychological transfer occurs then,' former vice president Walter Mondale once said.
As significant as the first meeting can be, it isn't even mentioned in the Constitution or federal law, so there are no rules governing how to do it.
Putting Campaign '08 in the rearview mirror, 'Bush will turn on his boyish charm, and I think he's enough of a political pro not to take the campaign criticism seriously,' said presidential historian Leo Ribuffo of George Washington University.
As for past meetings between once and future presidents, Ribuffo said, 'they've been bad, and they've been good and they've been in the middle.'
One of the most analogous transfers of power to the Bush-Obama transition occurred when 70-year-old Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, made way after two terms for 43-year-old John F. Kennedy, a Democrat whom the president had derided as a 'young whippersnapper' and 'this young genius.'
After the three-hour meeting, an aide later described Eisenhower as 'overwhelmed by Sen. Kennedy, his understanding of the world problems, the depth of his questions, his grasp of the issues and the keenness of his mind.'
It wasn't all about weighty matters of policy, though.
Eisenhower also took time to show Kennedy how to use the panic button that would bring a helicopter to the back lawn. Eisenhower demonstrated its use, and 'Kennedy watched the fluttering helicopter coming down outside the windows within a few minutes,' Kennedy aide Kenneth P

It lacks symmetry. Its expansion areas look as if they were put together over a weekend. Yet somehow it remains an incredible stadium.
Fully 91 years old, photos exist of rustic setting in the early part of the century with a large, dignified stand and three fenced areas, signifying the ground as it was then.
Today the ground itself is extremely different, but the unique charm of 'The Mill' remains, partially due to the piecemeal construction that has left corners filled in the most haphazard fashion.
But it is the atmosphere that this arena is famous for, and while it is the fans that provide it, the stadium's design certainly helps. Being on the rainy north coast it is unsurprising that it was the first ground in Spain to be fully covered - a definitive factor in its legacy of eardrum-bursting crowd noise that continues to the present day.
Never will the stadium win a beauty award, but for atmosphere, charm, and tradition, it cannot be beaten.

VICENTE CALDERN - Atltico Madrid - Madrid, Community of Madrid
I fully realise that this choice will be controversial, for the Caldern is not to everyone's tastes. I, however, love it.
This is a stadium that, if one wishes to see it, must be taken in soon: the Caldern will be gone within a matter of years. Atltico are eager to leave their spiritual home, and it isn't hard to see why: local brewer Mahou want the land, with all the potential lucre that follows; there is no room for expansion; a river runs next to it and a motorway runs through it (right under the west stand, in fact.)
Yet the 'Bombonera'-shaped edifice remains one of world football's most distinguished grounds, and one that - allowing for the absence of the sub-stand road - could well be replicated elsewhere. The bowl of the stadium could do with being ever so slightly steeper, but other than that the three-sided stand and main tribune work together perfectly.
It isn't much at first glance, but this is a stadium that is far more than the sum of its parts. It will be sorely missed.
Honourable Mentions
Ramn Snchez Pizjun - Sevilla FC - Seville, Andalucia - Incredibly imposing when full, this is the best stadium in the city of Seville and one of the finest in all of Andalucia.
Riazor - Deportivo de La Corua - A Corua, Galicia - Its roof design is bizarre and not the best conduit for noise, while it is blighted by a quite needless running track
