LONDON (AP) — Parliamentary officials in Britain want lawmakers to keep their hands off Margaret Thatcher's toes.
Authorities are considering roping off statues of former prime ministers, including Thatcher and Winston Churchill, because they are suffering wear and tear from legislators rubbing their toes for luck.
Members of Parliament traditionally touch the statues in the House of Commons lobby before entering the chamber.
Deputy House of Commons curator Melanie Unwin told Parliament's Works of Art Committee that statues of Thatcher, Churchill, Clement Attlee and David Lloyd George "are seriously under threat due to the tradition of touching the toes of the statues for good luck."
The committee agreed that "Do not touch" signs should be put up, and is considering installing barriers around the statues.
Details of the June meeting emerged Friday.

(Editor's Note: This story was written prior to the downgrade, but page 2 offers some tips on investment Safe Havens.)
With a House vote on Speaker John Boehner's bill to lift the debt ceiling delayed Thursday night, the business community is battening down the hatches for a U.S. debt rating downgrade—and they're not happy about damage that the oncoming economic storm will wreak on investors.
An ad hoc coalition of asset managers, investment advisors and pension plans on Tuesday sent an open letter to President Barack Obama and members of Congress, begging them to "fix the deficit for real" and act now to raise the debt ceiling.
"Addressing the current federal debt ceiling crisis, by itself, will not fix the entire problem. We would be deluding ourselves as a nation. If we want strong economic growth and job creation we must fix the deficit for real, for good, for the future of all Americans," said the coalition in its letter. "As a debtor nation, America must show the world that the nation's word is its bond. Raising the debt ceiling is vitally important, but that alone is not enough. The huge budget deficit, both current and long-range, must be dealt with urgently as well."
The coalition is comprised of a diverse group that includes asset management giant BlackRock, Commonwealth Financial Network, Legg Mason, LPL Financial, Raymond James, Verizon, the North Carolina Retirement System, the Florida State Board of Administration, the New Jersey Division of Investment and the Teachers Retirement System of Texas.
Boehner delayed a vote Thursday night on his debt-limit bill because he did not have enough Republican support to pass it. He would need 216 votes to pass the bill and send it to the Senate, where Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid said the bill would be dead on arrival because Democrats would not pass it in its current form. Reid is waiting for the outcome of Boehner's bill before introducing his bill to raise the debt ceiling.
Resigned to a Downgrade
While the coalition warned that America may lose its triple-A debt rating if U.S. leaders fail to act, other investment professionals have already resigned themselves to a downgrade. But the consensus is that a default on U.S. debt is unlikely. Either way, as they await an outcome on Washington's stalemate, market players are scrambling to find investment opportunities and safe havens in light of the unpredictable state of play.
The bond market is already pondering what life will be like without a triple-A rating, asserted LPL Financial Market Strategist Anthony Valeri in an analysis written on Tuesday.
"If an agreement is not reached in time, which we view as highly unlikely, we still believe the Treasury will be able to service its debt obligations but will likely result in a ratings downgrade even if temporary. Although President Obama and Congress remain at odds over how to resolve the debt ceiling impasse, we continue to believe that a deal will be struck before the Aug. 2 deadline," Valeri said.
Of the three major ratings agencies, Standard & Poor's has taken the harshest tone in stating that it would like to see meaningful steps to reduce the long-term deficit in order to avoid a rating downgrade, according to Valeri. "With the Aug. 2 deadline merely one week away, time is running out, and the odds of more substantial budget reductions being implemented in time are dimming. S&P may therefore downgrade Treasuries in coming weeks or months after it reviews any debt deal."
But Debt Default Seen as Unlikely
In what may be viewed as a glimmer of hope, however, a debt default remains unlikely, analysts say.
Though Democrats continue to declare Social Security reform off the table and Republicans remain immovable on tax increases, "it is still our opinion that the probability of a default of U.S. debt is low," wrote Nasri Toutoungi, head of global rates and strategy, in a Thursday commentary from Hartford Investment Management.
Even past Aug. 2, in lieu of default, the government and U.S. Treasury can take action that would put off a missed debt payment, Toutoungi said. "These actions could include the Treasury accelerating the sale of mortgage-backed securities, selling their stake in TARP recipients, or payables/receivables engineering. In addition, the government can engage in furloughs and a shutdown of non-essential government services."
Scrambling for Safe Havens
Not content with waiting for a resolution, fund providers small and large are scrambling to offer decent investment opportunities that shelter investors from the debt ceiling storm.
IndexIQ CEO Adam Patti (left), for example, is touting exchange traded funds and mutual funds that replicate the protections found in hedge funds.
Investors and advisors who believe the crisis will force a drop in the stock market are probably moving to cash right now, and those who believe that a deal will be reached may be moving into equities but risking a negative outcome, Patti said. But IndexIQ funds such as QAI, MCRO, MNA and IQHIX offer a solution, he said, "since they provide investors and financial advisors with downside protection in case the equity markets remain weak and volatile, while simultaneously providing upside participation if the markets respond positively."
J.P. Morgan Asset Management, meanwhile, is recommending its Large Cap Growth Fund (OLGAX) as an attractive asset class.
"One day, the melodramas around U.S. and European sovereign debt will end," says Michael Cembalest, chief investment officer for J.P. Morgan Asset Management, in a package of client research about the debt debate. "While we're waiting, one of the asset classes that looks attractive is large cap growth stocks. For a universe of 300 U.S. large cap growth stocks that meet certain earnings quality and stability factors, free cash flow relative to both revenues and stock prices looks good compared to the last four decades. This is where we believe investors should be adding exposure if they are underweight versus their desired equity allocations."

Or she could of been taught like i was as child
you don't have to read the bible, it is made by man
You don't have to go to church for it is made by man
All You have to do is know that the lord is real, he made you, he loves you, and he is with you no matter what.
Everything else is what you feel like.
all you need is 2 people talking about the lord and he is there.
Point taken.
Iknow this is old, but why not just let her believe what she wants? I mean if she loves the Lord good for her. I have read the bible and the only books that seem to give off mix massages to me at least is anything written by Paul, or Saul.
I Have the opposite problem, By boyfriend is Agnostic and I want him to learn about the christian lord so he can choose if he Believes in him or not. But its harder then i thought.
But I believe in my father in heaven like if he was my father on the earth, It makes more sense then anything else. like Evolution. But I do think things were made to change. Like how we can adapt to different places and such. Little things or find but saying a fish turned in to frog which turned in to a this animal, which turned in to a monkey, that learned how to walk, and its brain grew bigger, and that is us over 4 million years ..... Seems Far fetched .....
then this guy who lives for ever, made us... and everything.
SO yeah, Why not accept her for who she is, who she wants to be.... and If one day you find yourself willing to marry her ( If you believe in marriage of course) Then cross that bridge at that time ......
I think that reading the Scripture would undoubtedly be very helpful for her. Her attitude towards her life is not destructive because her faith and belief is strong and it is most definitely not because she knows the Christian God. Quite on the contrary – I find it very probable that it is because of how little she knows Him. :)
She would otherwise hardly think that apples are seeds of evil – as mentioned by Jordan, Genesis does not mention apples at all. I would really like to know what Church your friend is a part of as I really do not see how any Christian could possibly say that Bible is not important. That makes very little sense. Does this girl even believe in Jesus Christ at all? :D Or how can she if she refuses to read the book which is basically the only source of information that there is about Him. You know, John the apostle even says that Christ is the Word of God so reading the Scripture is basically one of the ways Christians can meet Him – in fact, this symbolism becomes very obvious in the rite, where you can meet Christ in two distinct ways – the first one is the word: when selected parts of the Scripture are read; the second one is His body in the Eucharist.
Virtually any sort of Christian prayer is to a large extent based on the Scripture as well – whether it is meditation, or oral prayer. Perhaps the greatest lesson of prayer can be obtained from the psalms, which form part of the Old Testament.
You should really help your friend... If she knows nothing about God how is she even sure that it is He to whom she prays? :D :D She might just as well be speaking to the devil... :D

Andrew Studdert. [Source: Rental Equipment Register]United Airlines receives numerous reports about threats and other emergencies, which turn out to be incorrect. This is according to Andrew Studdert, United Airlines' chief operating officer, who spends much of the morning at the airline's System Operations Control center, near Chicago. [9/11 Commission, 11/20/2003 ; 9/11 Commission, 1/27/2004] Two of the flights hijacked in the terrorist attacks—Flight 175 and Flight 93—are United Airlines aircraft. [CNN, 9/12/2001] Studdert will tell the 9/11 Commission that, additionally, throughout the morning "there is a torrent of reported bomb threats" received by the airline. He will add that "explosions are reported at two airports, and there are reports of other threats and other hijackings." Studdert will refer to "various rumors" the airline has to deal with. One of these is a "call from someone alleging to be the spouse of a flight attendant onboard an inbound flight from Europe, saying that it had been hijacked." United Airlines "chased down and sweated these rumors until all the airplanes were grounded." Studdert will say that these reports "turn out to be misunderstandings or hoaxes." However, he will add, "the presumed threats cannot be dismissed in the high uncertainty of the moment." [9/11 Commission, 11/20/2003 ; 9/11 Commission, 1/27/2004] United Airlines also temporarily loses communication with several of its planes this morning (see (10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001); numerous other United Airlines aircraft are temporarily reported as missing (see 10:47 a.m.-11:40 a.m. September 11, 2001 and 10:55 a.m.-11:15 a.m. September 11, 2001); and one United Airlines plane reportedly transmits a distress signal while flying over the Atlantic Ocean (see 11:18 a.m.-12:27 p.m. September 11, 2001). [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001; Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001; Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002, pp. S-26 ; 9/11 Commission, 1/27/2004]

Brian Meenan. [Source: US Air Force]The Air Traffic Services Cell (ATSC)—a small office at the FAA's Command Center in Herndon, Virginia, manned by military reservists—is activated. Officers Learn of Attacks - Three officers are currently on duty in the ATSC: Colonel John Czabaranek, Lieutenant Colonel Michael-Anne Cherry, and Major Kevin Bridges. Colonel Brian Meenan, the director of the cell, is not in the ATSC at this time, and so Czabaranek, his deputy, is currently in charge. Czabaranek, Cherry, and Bridges learned of the first attack in New York at around 8:55 a.m. when another employee at the Command Center told them to turn on CNN, because an aircraft had crashed into the World Trade Center. The three officers initially thought the crash was an accident, but realized it was not when they saw the second aircraft hitting the WTC at 9:03 a.m. They then established contact with the Air Force Ops Center. Cell Activated, Though Timing Unclear - The ATSC is activated, although the exact time this happens at is unclear. According to Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine, the cell "quickly became a key communications node during the military's response to [the] terrorist attacks." [US Air Force, 9/11/2001; Aviation Week and Space Technology, 6/10/2002] Jeff Griffith, the FAA's deputy director of air traffic control, will tell the 9/11 Commission that "the military officers assigned to the Air Traffic Services Cell became immediately involved in coordinating FAA… Command Center actions with military elements." [9/11 Commission, 6/9/2004 ] According to a chronology of the ATSC's actions on this day, calls to activate the cell are apparently made at unspecified times following the second attack in New York and before the FAA's ground stop (at 9:26 a.m.). These calls are made by a Lieutenant Colonel Mahoney and a Colonel Litzenberger from the Air Force Ops Center. Apparently shortly after the calls are made, Czabaranek contacts NORAD to let it know that the ATSC is "up and running." [US Air Force, 9/11/2001] Military Cell Aided by Recently-Installed Hardware - The ATSC's response to the terrorist attacks benefits from the fact that, six weeks earlier, the cell had a secure terminal to access the SIPRNET—the military's classified version of the Internet—installed, along with other hardware, which significantly enhances the movement of vital information. According to Meenan, because the cell has the SIPRNET terminal, "we could immediately look at NORAD and [Defense Department] plans as they evolved; filter, package, and format them, then walk out to the [FAA] national operations manager—who had control of the entire national airspace system—and give him current visibility into… fighter, tanker, and support aircraft activities. It cut down our response time tremendously." [Aviation Week and Space Technology, 6/10/2002] ATSC Is a Bridge between FAA and Military - The ATSC is a "part-time military outfit, staffed by part-time Air Force Reserve members" who "provide a bridge between the civilian and military worlds when air traffic issues arise," according to the Air Force Times. For example, "During a crisis, the armed forces suddenly may need to inject a large number of military airplanes into a sky that typically handles only a few hundred." [Air Force Times, 2000] However, Czabaranek will tell the 9/11 Commission that the ATSC is "not part of [the] FAA/NORAD hijack notification process." [9/11 Commission, 4/14/2004] Presence of ATSC Officers a 'Fluke' - According to Aviation Week and Space Technology, the presence of the three ATSC officers at the FAA Command Center this morning is a "fluke," since the Pentagon staffs the military cell "only three days per month for refresher training, but September 11 happened to be one of those days." [Aviation Week and Space Technology, 12/17/2001] Cell Handles Aircraft after Airspace Shut Down - Later in the day, after the national airspace has been shut down (see (9:45 a.m.) September 11, 2001), the ATSC personnel will coordinate actions relating to military and other special flights that are permitted to fly. [9/11 Commission, 2003] They will be responsible for validating the requests they receive for the movement of aircraft, and issuing permissions in response to those requests. [Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002 ]

United Airlines temporarily loses communication with three of its aircraft. Andrew Studdert, United Airlines' chief operating officer, will tell the 9/11 Commission that at around 10:00 a.m., the airline loses contact with Flight 399, Flight 415, and Flight 641. Persistent attempts to communicate with these "missing" aircraft are eventually successful. [9/11 Commission, 1/27/2004] At 10:45 a.m., the FAA's Cleveland Center will report that Flight 641 is on the ground at Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan. [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001]
The Secret Service reports that a United Airlines aircraft, Flight 182, is missing. Doug Davis, the special assistant for technical operations in air traffic services at FAA headquarters is talking over the phone with John White, a manager at the FAA's Command Center in Herndon, Virginia. At 10:47 a.m., Davis informs White, "[United Airlines] 182, Secret Service is saying is missing." Davis asks White to "find out for me" whether this is indeed the case. He adds that the flight is going from "Boston to Seattle." [9/11 Commission, 11/4/2003] According to some accounts, Flight 182 is reported as missing at a later time. A Secret Service timeline of the morning's events records the flight as being "unaccounted for" at 10:55 a.m. [Secret Service, 9/11/2001] And according to an FAA chronology, the plane is reported as being "unaccounted for" over an FAA teleconference at 11:40 a.m. [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001] Presumably Flight 182 is located at some later time, although further details of this missing aircraft are unstated.

Andrew Studdert, United Airlines' chief operating officer, will tell the 9/11 Commission that between 10:55 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., United Airlines Flights 57, 103, 634, 1211, 1695, 2101, 2102, 2256, and 2725 are reported as missing. All nine aircraft are eventually located at various airports. [9/11 Commission, 1/27/2004] One of them, Flight 57, is later reported as having landed at Garden City Regional Airport in Kansas. [9/11 Commission, 2004]
The US Coast Guard reports having received distress signals from three aircraft that are over the Atlantic Ocean, but these signals are soon determined to be false alarms, and one of the supposedly distressed aircraft is reported as not even flying on this day. [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001; Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002, pp. S-26, S-29 ] Three Planes Issued Distress Signals - At 11:18 a.m., it is reported on an FAA teleconference that the Coast Guard in Norfolk, Virginia, has received distress signals from United Airlines Flight 947, Continental Airlines Flight 57, and Air Canada Flight 65. [Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002, pp. S-26 ] Command Center Told to Notify Military - Fifteen minutes later, at 11:33 a.m., Jeff Griffith, the deputy director of air traffic at the FAA's Washington, DC, headquarters, passes on the news about the three planes in a phone call with John White, a manager at the FAA's Command Center in Herndon, Virginia. Griffith confirms that the distress signals received by the Coast Guard were from planes "in the Atlantic," and instructs White, "Would you please make sure that NORAD is aware [of the three aircraft], and also the Services Cell," meaning the Air Traffic Services Cell, a small office at the Command Center that is manned by military reservists (see (Between 9:04 a.m. and 9:25 a.m.) September 11, 2001). White replies, "I'll do it." [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001] Flight Heading to Canada - Around the same time, according to a 2002 FAA report, it is reported on the FAA teleconference that United 947 is now heading toward Gander, in Canada, and is being managed by the Gander Area Control Center, which is the Canadian facility responsible for transatlantic flights. [Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002, pp. S-28 ; MSNBC, 3/12/2010] However, a transcript of FAA communications on this day indicates that it is in fact the Continental Airlines flight that is heading toward Gander. According to that transcript, beginning around 11:40 a.m., White discusses the three suspicious flights over the phone with Doug Davis, the special assistant for technical operations in air traffic services at FAA headquarters. White says Continental 57 was originally destined for Newark, New Jersey, and air traffic controllers "have a track on the target" for this flight, which indicates that it is now heading to Gander. However, White says, controllers are "still looking" for the other two aircraft reported by the Coast Guard. [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001] Planes Found to Be Safe - At 11:46 a.m., it is reported over the FAA teleconference that "[a]ll three aircraft that the US Coast Guard reported hearing distress calls [from] are accounted for," and all of them are fine. [Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002, pp. S-29 ] A couple of minutes later, White updates Davis on what is now known. White says one of the aircraft that was reportedly transmitting a distress signal, Air Canada Flight 65, was never even airborne. He says it "landed last night and was scheduled to depart today, but the flight's canceled." He adds that another of the flights, United 947, has "returned to Amsterdam," in the Netherlands. [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/11/2001] Finally, at 12:27 p.m., it is reported over the FAA teleconference that Continental 57 has "landed in Gander." [Federal Aviation Administration, 3/21/2002, pp. S-33 ]

How to Enter Data into the R Text Editor
Although R is primarily a programming language, R has a very basic data editor that allows you to enter data directly using the edit() function.
The edit() function is only available in some R code editors, so depending on which software you're using to edit your R code, this approach may not work. As of this writing, this option is not yet supported by RStudio.
To use the R text editor, first you need to initiate a variable. For example, to create a data frame and manually enter some of the periodic table data, enter the following:
elements <- data.frame() elements <- edit(elements)
This displays an interactive editor where you can enter data. Notice that because the data frame is empty, you can scroll left and right, or up and down, to extend the editing range. Notice also that the editor doesn't allow you to modify column or row names.
Enter some data. Then to save your work, click the X in the top-right corner.
To view the details that you've just entered, use the print() function:
> print(elements) var1 var2 var3 1 1 Hydrogen H 2 2 Helium He 3 3 Lithium Li

(Phoenix, Ariz. -- Aug. 30, 2010) Attorney General Terry Goddard welcomed the arrival of the first wave of National Guard troops to the Arizona-Mexico border today, but said the border cannot be effectively secured until the federal government goes on the offense against the Mexican drug cartels.
"These soldiers will work with the Border Patrol and will be put to good use," Goddard said. "But the federal government needs to do more to take the fight to the organized criminals who bring most of the drugs and illegal immigrants across our border. We need to hit the cartels in Mexico with decisive, overwhelming and binational force. Defensive steps alone will not stop these deeply entrenched, heavily armed and well-funded organizations. We need to target their leadership and dismantle them."
Goddard added that though cartels remain based in Mexico, their presence in the U.S. is growing. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that the cartels today operate in more than 200 American cities.
For more information, contact Press Secretary Molly Edwards at (602) 542-8019.

The days have grown longer, the temperature has risen and Greenwich residents Jan and Paul Crispino can't wait to go into their garage and pull out their bicycles. The couple, along with their two teenage daughters -- Jacqueline, 17, and Cynthia, 15, enjoy taking bike rides all around their neighborhood, as well as on vacation.
"We go biking every summer and fall, usually within a 10-mile radius of our home," Jan Crispino, 47, a social worker, said. "We also vacation every year in Hilton Head, S. C. We're on the water where you can get everywhere by bike. We spend about three hours every day on our bikes. We always really enjoy these trips."
The Crispinos are among thousands of people in Fairfield County who look forward all winter to the time when they can step out of the gym and take their workout outdoors.
Whether your goal is to take occasional rides around the block, try out new terrain, or compete in a challenging race, there's a bike out there for you.
When purchasing a bike, experts said the two most important factors to consider are intended purpose and budget. Bikes range from about $300 to $12,000 or more. The types of bikes available include triathlete bikes, designed to help the rider go faster and get less wind resistance; road bikes, intended for serious fitness training; mountain bikes, built for riding along trails, up mountains, and through mud, dirt, rocks and roots and other obstacles.
Jan Crispino said since her neighborhood is so hilly she purchased a Specialized Edition bicycle, which is half mountain bike and half road bike. "It's really comfortable because it has so many gears," she said. "I never have to work too hard to get up the hills."
More Information
Here are some of the different varieties of bicycle available:
Hybrid: Upright with a relaxed fit. It's used mainly for casual recreational riding. Cost is from about $330 to about $700.
Road: Has drop handle bars and is intended for serious fitness training. Its thin tires reduce rolling resistance. Cost is $800 and up.
Mountain: Has front or front and rear suspension. which increases traction for better control and safety. It's great for riding along trails, up mountains, and through mud, dirt, rocks, and roots. Cost is $400 up.
Triathlete: Has aero bars in front which are meant to get the arms down in an aerodynamic position in order to ride faster and get less wind resistance. Hamstrings and glutes will be less fatigued after your ride. Cost is $2,000 and up.
The rider's experience level is also a key factor to consider when bike shopping, said Sean Dowd, co-owner of Ridgefield Bicycle Company. For instance, he recommended that triathletes competing in shorter distance races or in their first triathlon should invest in a good road bike before making the leap to the more expensive triathlete bike. Road bikes start at about $800, whereas triathlete bikes are often $2,000 or higher.
"If you fall in love with the sport, then make the additional purchase of a tri bike," Dowd said.
Once you select the type of bike you want, the next step is making sure it's a good fit with your body. "When purchasing a bike, the single most important factor is to get it properly sized," said Bill Baker of Brookfield, who over the past 25 years, has completed 106 triathlons. "I would rather ride 100 miles on a $200 bicycle that fits me than one mile on a $2,000 bike that does not fit me. A bicycle that's not fitted properly will not only interfere with how efficient your ride is, but it will be uncomfortable and can cause injuries such as lower back or shoulder pain."
Most specialty bicycle shops, such as Ridgefield Bicycle Company, offer a custom bicycle fitting program. "The fitting takes about an hour," said Paul Londrigan of Ridgefield, who works at Ridgefield Bicycle Company. It evaluates bicycles on factors such as "how far back you are on the bike, are your elbows bent, seat height, where are your feet on the pedals, and is the reach from the saddle to the handle bars too far or too short. We look at all the different types of body geometry to make sure you're comfortable on the bike," he said.Read Full Article
While many bike companies offer used bikes, Dowd said their prices might be too good to be true. "Often they end up costing you more than buying a new one, after shipping, tune up, and repairs," he said. "Also, the warranty for a bike is only valid for the original owner," Dowd said.
However, Dowd is a fan of renting bikes. "Renting a bike is a great way to decide if you like cycling. It could save you a lot of money," he said. Rental costs at Ridgefield Bicycle Company are $50 for the day and $75 for the week.
Purchasing a bike for the first time involves much more than the cost of the bike. There's the helmet, for safety in a crash; sunglasses, which protect your eyes and bike clothing, which includes a jersey with rear pockets to store items such as food or a cell phone. There are also bike shoes, which have rock hard soles designed to transfer maximum leg energy to the pedals; water bottle cages; and fingerless gloves, which have padding to help absorb road vibrations.
"Plan to tack on 25 percent more than you originally plan on spending," Baker said.
Baker, who rides a Cannondale Slice triathlon bike, is now training for his first Full Ironman Triathlon (a timed race consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112-mile-bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run), which will be later this summer. He's following a 6 ½ month training program and rides 100 miles a week. "It's the bicycle leg that intimidates me the most. It's the longest leg of the race, time-wise. In the race, my goal is to spend about 6.5 hours on the bike portion," he said.
Baker said he has two goals for his upcoming race. "One is to get to the starting line injury free, and the other is to get to the finish line," he said. "I'm turning 50 this year. It will be a great sense of accomplishment if I finish this race."

ORCHESTRATION: 2 Flutes (2nd db.piccolo), 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets in Bb, 2 Bassoons, 2 Horns in F, 2 Trumpets in Bb, 3 Trombones, Tuba (opt.db.Euphonium), Timpani, Percussion (4 players: Triangle, Side Drum, Tenor Drum, Cymbals, Bass Drum, Tambourine, Wood Block, Swanee Whistle), Harp (or Keyboard), Strings (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Bass) plus Choir [optional] either SATB, SA+Men, SSA or TTBBThe Fantasia on British Sea Songs was arranged by Sir Henry Wood in 1905 to mark the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. It is a medley of British sea songs and for many years has been seen as an indispensable item at the BBC's Last Night of the Proms concert. The complete work is made up of nine parts which follow the course of the battle from the point of view of a British sailor, starting with the call to arms, progressing through the death of a comrade, thoughts of home, and ending with a victorious return and the assertion that Britain will continue to 'rule the waves'. Individual sections can be omitted if required. The fantasia commences with a series of six naval bugle calls and their responses. These calls were traditionally used to convey orders on a naval warship.1. Bugle Calls (Admirals Salute, Action, General Assembly, Landing Party, Prepare to Ram, Quick, Double, Extend and Close.)2. The Anchor's Weighed3. The Saucy Arethusa4. Tom Bowling5. Jack's The Lad (Hornpipe) (with optional encore)6. Farewell and Adieu, Ye Spanish LadiesClarinet Cadenza7. Home, Sweet Home8. See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes9. Rule, Britannia! (A soloist can be used for the verses/choruses)The original orchestral scoring for the fantasia required a much larger orchestra. This new arrangement by Peter Lawson uses a more standard sized orchestra whilst maintaining the overall effects. A chorus [optional] is added throughout as all of the tunes used (except the bugle calls) started life as sea songs. Four different 48 page vocal scores are available (none are included in the orchestral pack): SATB - GM144 SSA - GM145 TTBB - GM146 SA+Men - GM147The arrangement can also be performed by a choir without an orchestra with only piano accompaniment.A PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.Duration 19 minutes

Focusing on the size of our solar system, these two short videos address both its vastness and the measurement of its distances. Part One defines the limits of the solar system; Part Two introduces the Astronomical Unit (AU) and applies it to distances within the solar system.
In this activity, students become familiar with the orientation of shadows, their size in relation to the object casting them, and how the alignment of the Sun, the object, and the shadow tells us much about how shadows work.
In this lesson, students investigate the relationship between precipitation, surface temperature and vegetation for four geographic locations.
Learners will investigate the relationship between mass, speed, velocity, and kinetic energy in order to select the best material to be used on a space suit. They will apply an engineering design test procedure to determine impact strength of various materials.
Learners will relate the concept of density to the density of dust in space.
This is a set of three activities about how scientists study other worlds. Learners will explore and compare the features of Mars and Earth, discuss what the features suggest about the history of Mars, and create a model to help them understand how scientists view other worlds.
Students build their understanding of weather and climate concepts by exploring several websites and online videos and completing a related worksheet. Students will examine NASA's role in both gathering weather and climate data and monitoring the changes to each that are occurring globally.
Learners will explore Jupiter's origins through three stories. First, they model their own lifetimes by tying knots in lengths of yarn to represent key events in their pasts.
This is a lesson about magnetism and solar flares. Learners will evaluate real solar data and images in order to calculate the energy and magnetic strength of a solar flare moving away from the Sun as a coronal mass ejection.
Learners will make a paper model of Kepler space telescope. Ideas for use include hanging all models in a display case that also houses student work. Note: the activity includes updated information in 2009 about the change from an articulated (movable) antenna to a fixed antenna on Kepler.

COLUMBUS – After weeks of bad breaks, the Columbus Crew received a stroke of luck for a change early on in Saturday's match against the visiting Montreal Impact.
A shot by Matias Sanchez took a deflection off Impact defender Jeb Brovsky and found its way past Montreal 'keeper Troy Perkins in the 6th minute, and just like that the gloom that had recently permeated the Crew evaporated with the unlikely goal.
"It lifted the team's spirits," Columbus forward Dominic Oduro said following the 2-0 win that snapped a three-game winless streak for the Crew (5-5-5, 20 points).
Fortunate bounces like those had been missing during a 1-3-2 stretch, particularly in the last MLS match on June 5 in Philadelphia when a similar deflection led to the first of three Union goals in six minutes for a 3-0 win.
That was followed by the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup disaster when Wednesday's scheduled match in Chicago was delayed a day due to weather. When it was played Thursday, central defender Glauber suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee, the same injury that felled midfielder Eddie Gaven for the season in an Open Cup match on May 29.
Enter Sanchez, the Argentinean who netted his first goal in his 10th MLS game.
"I told him, 'In times like this, when injuries happen and we've lost two leaders that the younger guys look up to, you have to create your own luck,'" defender Josh Williams said.
Sanchez says he was just in the right place at the right time to receive the ball after Oduro had been fouled. But the referee allowed for the advantage and Sanchez capitalized.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: A snapshot of Matias Sanchez's performance vs. Montreal
"We were very compact so we win the ball," Sanchez said. "When Dom [Oduro] give the ball to me, I shoot. I don't know who it went off, but I'm very happy."
Oduro, who came to the Crew in a trade with Chicago in February, picked up his first Crew assist on the play. He then added his team-best seventh goal in the 22nd minute after stealing the ball from Impact midfielder Collen Warner.
"The guy underestimated my speed," Oduro said. "I was able to take the ball away from him and there was nothing but net for me to put the ball away."

Removing the Analog Fuel Gauge NOTE The fuel gauge wires are routed through a tube in the fuel tank, and are secured by a clip at the bottom of the tank and, on some models, a clamp on the frame. Open the clip and clamp as needed, and be sure there is enough slack in the wires to be able to lift out the gauge. 1. At the bottom left side of the fuel tank, bend back the flexible clip slightly to free the fuel gauge conduit. Open the harness clamp on the frame if necessary to free the conduit. Gently pull on the conduit to draw the Multilock connector [117] out of the tunnel. 2. See Figure 2. Depress the pin on the socket terminal side of the connector, and pull apart the pin and socket halves. 3. See Appendix B in an appropriate Service Manual. Use a pick (Snap-On TT600-3 or equivalent) to remove the terminals or clip off the wires. Remove and discard the fuel gauge. 4. For Carbureted Models: See Figure 2. Remove the fuel gauge by firmly grasping and carefully pulling up (do NOT twist) on the gauge just far enough to free it from the fuel tank. Disconnect the two sending unit connectors. Feed the conduit and two wires up through the tube while removing the gauge. Remove and discard the fuel gauge. For Fuel-Injected Models: See Figure 2. Remove the fuel gauge by firmly grasping and carefully pulling up (do NOT twist) on the gauge to free it from the fuel tank. Feed the conduit and three wires up through the tube while removing the gauge. Remove and discard the fuel gauge. 5. Remove and discard the rubber gasket. INSTALLATION For Kit Numbers 75084-04B or 75237-03B 1. See Figure 2. Assemble the new gasket (3) to the LED fuel gauge (1) from the kit. Install the gasket so the flat side contacts the edge of the gauge. 2. See Figure 1. Use three of the Phillips-head screws and washers from the kit to connect the wires as follows: Fasten the Orange wire (1) ring terminal to the gauge connection marked "12V and "O" with a screw and washer. Fasten the Black wire (2) ring terminal to the connection marked "GND" and "BK" with a screw and washer. Fasten the Yellow/White wire (3) ring terminal to the connection marked "Y/W" with a screw and washer. 3. See Figure 2. While carefully lowering the fuel gauge, feed the wire harness (2) down into the drain tube until the three short (Orange, Black, Yellow/White) wires exit the hole at the bottom of the fuel tank. Gently pull the wires to remove slack while installing the gauge to the fuel tank. Do not twist the gauge during installation. Hold the gauge firmly and press down until it snaps into place

Tungsten - Fabric Used on Enclosures:
Tungsten is reinforced with polyester yarns and is a durable 18 ounce vinyl used in enclosures for over 20 years. The woven reinforcements are periodically suspended within the heavy vinyl to offer substantial protection from the elements. The product design allows for maximum tear strength with minimum weight and maintains a high level of dimensional stability when exposed to different temperature extremes. Tungsten resists tearing, stains, mildew, mold, fading and fire and cleans up easily with mild dish soap. This highly abrasion textile can be cut with standard scissors around added options when necessary and is ideal for the application since it has properties that make it strong against things like tree branches, rocks and other flying debris. Though you can puncture this product if you arent careful, it will resist tearing further and fabric can be easily repaired with a vinyl tape.
Maintenance and Cleaning:
We recommend mild dish soaps to clean either the Armor-Dillo or the Tungsten fabrics. First rinse down with water to remove majority of dirt. Then with a soft cotton cloth and a mild dish soap solution, wash thoroughly using minimal pressure. A soft bristle brush may be used only to clean area where deeper dirt has penetrated. Use this method sparingly since the coating is diminished each time a brush is used and this will affect the longevity of the fabric. Avoid sealants as these block the pores of the fabric and cause detrimental effects over long periods of time. Do not use Simple Green or Pine cleaners ever on either fabric. Citrus Cleaner can be used on Tungsten for sap or other sticky outdoor elements that may at times drop onto your cover. Make sure the cover or enclosure is thoroughly dry before storage as packing either product wet will promote the possibility of bacteria growth.
30 or 40 Gauge Opti-Clear Glass Used:
Introduced in 1994, Opti-Clear is a premium flexible roll-up coated vinyl sheet engineered to resist the damaging effects from the suns rays, environmental fallout, and scratching from handling. It blocks out 100% of the spectrum of UV light.
Scratch Resistance:
Prevents fine line scratches from occurring during washing, drying, rolling up and down, and abrasion from straps used when rolling up the glass. Regular clear vinyl used in competitive enclosures can scratch with a paper towel being used. The foam included in the bag should be used between each glass to help minimize scratching.
Our Opti-Clear product has near- perfect visual clarity. Regular vinyls have a blue or gray haziness to them which is instantly visible when comparing Opti-Clear to regular vinyl used by our competitors.
Resistance to Fallout:
The coating on Opti-Clear blocks the elements of streaks caused by brass grommets or fabric color runoff seen in traditional regular vinyl used by our competitors. This is true with most trace elements even overspray can be carefully removed with lacquer thinner which would destroy regular vinyl glass.
Because you will see clearer longer, you will find you dont need to replace the components as often. We are often asked How long Opti-Clear will last? and we cant answer that since there are so many variables that can effect the answer but we have several yachts have have been in the Florida sun for 6 years and havent required any replacements.
Environmentally Advantageous:
The protective coating is uniquely resistant to todays harsh environment. Industrial fallout from power plants, steel production, chemical manufacturing, paper products, plants, jet exhaust and acid rain are realities anywhere we live. Our coating prevents these elements from leaching into the vinyl. The results of leaching can be spotting, hazing, orange corners, and gray lines that show up in regular vinyl.
We recommend IMAR PRODUCTS only to clean your glass and warranties will be voided if anything else is used. Simple Green and Pine cleaners will damage the glass. Make sure you do not use Rainex or Armorall they have a temporary positive result with long term detrimental effect. Give us a call if you cannot find the IMAR PRODUCTS and we can assist with this. You should use the IMAR Protective Polish every 1 2 months and can use the Protective Cleaner often to remove most everything.
Flush thoroughly with water to rinse away environmental abrasives. Wash with IMAR Soap Concentrate, or other equally gentle and high quality soap. Do not use Simple Green, or pine or any other harsh chemical they will dull the surface and impact clarity. Apply the soapy water to the clear vinyl section with a soft clean cotton cloth or chamois. Thoroughly rinse the glass and drive off with a quality chamois. After every cleaning apply IMAR Protective Polish sparingly with a small circular motion using a soft cotton cloth or chamois. Allow the polish to dry and remove with a clean soft cotton cloth buff to a sparkling shine. When using the IMAR Protective Cleaner between regular washings, make sure panels are free from all abrasive materials. Lightly mist a soft cloth and lightly and briskly rub a small sized area and then lightly buff dry when a different soft clean cotton cloth. You can use the IMAR Cleaner on a regular basis also as it is very easy to use and you will love the shine.
All new vinyl products can easily get impressions in themselves from items that are left on them or from the movement of the chemicals inside the vinyl during production. We recommend that all new enclosures be left in place for an extended period of time to allow for additional curing. If completely removed, enclosures must be interleaved with either acid-free paper obtained from framing shops or foam that was included in the original packaging of the product. Please utilize the storage bag that the unit came in as it is the best way to maintain glass. Use the acid-free paper of foam to prevent pooling in the glass, vinyl seasons over time and becomes less impressionable. Roll all components down overnight and completely fasten in place to keep the best appearance in your glass.

I misread that as don't run AbiWord.
Maybe I'll try iPup first since all that is needed for the laptop is internet and Abiword. So if I wiped the drive and repartitioned it with a swap file, I assume that iPup would work OK ?
I assume it is designed for ethernet and common Epson or HP printers can easily be installed? If so it sounds perfect, no point in having the other stuff on full Puppy if it is never going to be used on the laptop.
Would it be as likely as the full puppy to work with an on board dial up modem?
Does iPup set up a cd player at all during install, not for music but for installing programs and files, or does it have no CD player ability at all ?

Post subject: iPup and CD/DVD's
I have had a really hard time getting onto the forum. I started at 7:00 a.m. this morning and haven't been able to get on until now (3:00 p.m.). Of course I haven't been trying continuously. Anyways. . .
iPup has the command line CD utilities that are needed to make the re-master script work and to allow reading of CD's. It just doesn't have any of the toys. Fact is, it has very few toys of any kind.
I share my computer with my children, so I have split the hard drive in two. I have Windows installed on one half and the second half is a type 82 linux partition that I use for Puppy Unleashed. When I am not testing, I typically boot from a 256 MB flash drive. I built the computer with 512 MB of RAM. Basically, what I am saying is that I know that my builds work with 256 MB flash device and 512 MB of memory, but have yet to test it on anything else. (My work computer also has 512 MB of RAM.) The funny thing is that when I boot from the flash device, the memory showing is usually just over 100 MB, no more.

iPup (yes, that's small "i") is indeed a very attractive build - one that lets the user operate a client device as an Internet kiosk cum typewriter (word processing) with pages sent to a network printer.
Can iPup print to inkjets via USB or is it only for printing to network printers ?

You are supposed to be able to, but I never have been able to get it to work. However, I have CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) in my archive which works wonderfully. (See forum thread http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=11294 )

The default printer service in Puppy works easily as it has a wizard. The default printer actually is one for inkjets, and can print to HP without modification. For the setup, choose "local port" and then specify the USB interface - the Wizard will show what to enter for USB.

Todd if you're after a little feedback on custom iso's then here's something that I hope you'll consider.
I was after a lightweight distro that can run off a CF card or USB key on a mini-itx board that'll give a quick boot directly into Firefox in a full screen, so no tool bars etc.
I would like to conduct a little experiment into reducing the overall footprint of the majority of the computing in our house...i.e the internet. So office based applications to be done by Writely etc, news etc as rss through firefox plugin ins etc.
the ultimate goal would be for me to have media like music etc to be stored centrally with USB keys for local stuff.
Re-creating a web pad for sustainable computing. Using the set up wizards etc for internet connection at first run I couldn't think of too much else that'll need configuring from trying out IPup as a live distro.
Anyway what do you think

as far as i know, the jwm memory applet shows the amount of free space in the save file, it has nothing to do with ram (unless you are running totally in ram with no save file, in which case, the ram is the "savefile")
you can start Puppy with only firefox running by editing .xinitrc and replacing
exec $CURRENTWM
with something like
exec firefox

/usr/X11R7/bin/xwin line 35 /tmp/kbdextlayout.txt read only
I didn't do anything different than what i did with installing any other versions?!
can you please help me fixing it .
its on a thinkpad /128ram/2gb partition/800mhz
also if its not too much to ask

a while back I posted a sarcastic reply saying "that is not the linux way..." (sorry bout that EZ.anyway i found myself doing the same things when faced with the same problem ,it worked on a full install but i don't know the repercussions of what i did .
what i did was extracting the content of the iso and booted with grub
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/isolinux/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw vga=normal
initrd /boot/isolinux/initrd.gz
what i changed was removing loglevel=3
don't know if that fixed it or before full installing i saved then rebooted and run it then did the install.
another thing that nobody said anything about is that since version 1.08 if i put (vga=771 or 788 or 791) i get nothing but black screen but if i put vga=normal i can see the boot process ,maybe it has something to do with the kernel newer than 2.4.29 or maybe its my ancient monitor ???!!!
God bless us noobs

Looks like the picasa pictures of the cluebox in Brazil are actually near the Sao Francisco Church along Ladeira de Carmo in Salvador (Bahia) Brazil.Note baroque blue/white building in background with fancy pointy things on roof. Cluebox is to the left of the church front (not seen very well in pictures).Edited to Add:A Igreja de São Francisco (The Church of Saint Francis) and its attached convent are up the cobbled streets and to the left at the far side of the Terreio de Jesus, standing at the end of an adjacent square (Praça Anchieta), beyond a large stone cross.
This is it! (so many churches in Bahia) Praça Anchieta

I noticed that in Matt's shots there are pieces of Yellow and Red tape laid out in a line at the steps of San Francisco Church, just inside the gate.I suspect this is where teams must wait/sleep until morning. Opps, not San Francisco Church, Thanks Boingo, (I was just being sloppy): Igreja Do Santissimo Sacramento Do PassoNot to mention that you already saw it. But I didn't know what you were talking about QuoteLots of red and yellow on that staircase on the 23rd of April. Task for our racers?

I noticed that in Matt's shots there are pieces of Yellow and Red tape laid out in a line at the steps of San Francisco Church, just inside the gate.
just because I can... this is the Rio Branco Palace, former seat of the State Governor
because I can, again.... Matts blue/white building is the Terminal Marítimo (Salvador)
In the Salvador shots of the Matt picture set there is a Whiteboard reference to 19BC. And 19 BC is shown on a building that he has shots of.Turns out that 19 BC is military base: 2° Companhia do 19° Batalhão de caçadores Operacionais (You Tube Link here)And if you watch the video you will see the Badge for the 19° BC. That same Badge appears on the sticker that Mr. Purple Shirt wears. But in the sticker it is in conjunction with Film Planet Group. They boast about doing work for TAR before (Season 9).I think in, sum and substance, 19 BC will turn out to be nothing more than just a dormitory for production.
Who knew? .... Rio Branco Palace and top of Elevador Lacerda are right next to each other... oh well....
Found it! Terminal Maritimo
Found it! Igreja Do Santissimo Sacramento Do Passo well hidden among the shadows....
Oh look! Matt really did visit a fort.... but, is it the Forte São Marcelo hmmm..... I think you can see the only cannon in the GE picture below, along with the curving ramp.
In conjunction with Praça da Sé I found our BahianaAnd this location is also known for the Cruz Caída
Finally found this one..... Matt is standing in the Praca Municipal do Salvador near the Palacio Rio Branco and the Elevador Lacerda (to his right). That's the Banco Bradesco branch to his left....running out of things to spoil, puddin :sucks
Just cleaning up a few things... no new spoilers here... Found location of Matt's Escadaria do Paço sign pix. No surprise, they were taken just a stones throw from Igreja Do Santissimo Sacramento Do Passo (church with stairs and drummers) in Pelourinho area.Photo labeled "Palourinho-Ladeira_do_Carmo" is view of same street from the opposite end (looking uphill).
Turns out Matts sign is at the bottom of the Igreja do Santissimo Sacramento do Passo stairs. ...had a feeling it was right there.
Yay!...I knew Matts sandwich shop would be useful. heres a view of the street from the opposite direction...looks like they normally have street vendors there...
Close, but not quite. This big "C" sign is on Rua Portugal (very near the sandwich shop) but Terence & Sarah appear to be on a narrower street. Oh wait, this may be another sign on the same building but on the side facing the highrise buildings.
You mean this one?
So, can they roll these things onto the Plano Inclinado Gonçalves? It is located at the end of the street.And it goes up to the Praça da Sé where we have another shot of them getting their next clue.
This shot was taken here.
The big picture.... one can follow the trail....
Quote from: Chateau d If on August 21, 2008, 07:43:41 PMThis shot was taken here.just a little more to the left, it's the brown tiled (squarish) building with the hole in the middle.Here's a view of the back side from the cruz sculpture

It is located at the end of the street.And it goes up to the Praça da Sé where we have another shot of them getting their next clue.Answered my own Question:This is the incline:
This shot was taken here between 3:35 and 5:00 pm (assumes April 23rd)It looks like these two have already signed up for their transport/time. They are now headed to the trucks that will take them into the jungle.I looks like teams will be divided into three groups (3 trucks).
I knew I'd find the front of that building on the Praca da Se (Se Square).
I'm thinking that crawling up those stairs on hands and knees (if only once, of course) could actually turn out to be much faster than the Elevador--what with getting harnessed, safety briefing and all.But not nearly as much fun!! ...
with the 11 episodes there should be a roadblock episode1
I have to go with the roadblock being to push the candy. In the clip of Terrence and Sarah, he seems to be doing most of the work, shes just taging along with the local. I can see the detour being a "climb up" or "climb down" type of thing.
I wouldn't be surprised if the candy task is one of those Additional Tasks and not the Roadblock OR Detour since it doesn't seem relevant to the net climb nor does it really fit into what a conventional Roadblock tends to be like. The Detour would, as what North suggested, be probably the climbing down of the net or the climbing up of the stairs, pictured above. The Roadblock I'm not too sure, and there might or might not even be a Roadblock, given past seasons' (except TAR1 & 12) which have had no Roadblocks.

cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The EU Commission wants to speed up the deployment of fast telecommunications networks. An access regulation for telecoms network operators with a dominant market position which gives more consideration to competition at retail level will contribute to this. cep welcomes this step but criticises the preferential regulatory treatment given to "very high-capacity networks".
The EU Commission has submitted its proposal to amend the Posting of Workers Directive. The principle of "equal pay for equal work in the same place" will apply to both permanent employees and posted workers. In cep's view, this proposal is in breach of the freedom to provide services in the EU.
The Commission wants to improve cooperation between national consumer protection authorities in combating cross-border infringements of EU consumer protection laws. In cep's view, however, burdensome duties of cooperation should only apply to infringements which could noticeably damage the internal market.
The European Parliament discusses the EU Commission's proposal to introduce an EU deposit guarantee scheme. The cepAdhoc assesses the European Parliament's draft report.
The EU Commission is planning to ban geo-blocking and other discrimination based on nationality, place of residence or establishment in order to improve cross-border online trade in goods and services. In cep's view, the bans will only rarely result in customers buying more across borders.
The EU Commission proposes the introduction of a "Pillar of Social Rights" which is to contain principles for the approximation of the social policies of the Member States. In cep's view, the approximation of social standards is inadvisable because the capacity of the national social systems is too varied.

The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge
and Golf Course Complex, which opened on June 23, 1935,
was conceived and constructed during the Great
Depression years of the 1930's. One of hundreds of
public works projects sponsored by the federal
government at that time, unemployed copper miners were
re-employed to clear the land on which the Lodge and its
golf course now reside. The trees that were cut were
used to construct the main lodge and
guest cabins. These hand
hewn log structures have been carefully preserved for
almost 70 years, and are a rare and unique step back in
time. Copper Harbor lies one mile north by car on US41
or at the far end of the walking trails leading from the
Lodge. The newly added conference center adds a
280-person event facility. For more information, please
Eagle River became the
county seat in 1861 followed by the building of a courthouse in 1866. Even after remodeling in 1925, the
formality of the courthouse, preserved in its original
appearance, attests to the prosperity of the mining era.
The sheriff's residence and jail followed in 1886. Even
today, the sheriff's family lives in a pleasant home
attached to the jail and prisoners enjoy the good food
prepared by the sheriff's wife. Bridges straddling the
Eagle River are favorite
stops to view the vast expanse of Lake Superior on one
side and, on the other side, splendid trees with a
cascading waterfall. The bridge built in 1915 was
converted to pedestrian use when the adjacent timber

We all have our shopping guilty pleasures. Certain boutiques, aisles, and racks catch our eye—suddenly, we're hooked for hours. And nothing sucks us in quite like a stationery store, with cute, quirky, inviting tchotchkes and cards at every turn.
Chicago's stationery and gift spots are some of the best (maybe we're biased), and today, we're taking you on a visual tour of three of our faves. Explore Greer, Inkling, and The Paper Doll, and chat with the owners about the most charming perks of working in this world of wonder. The best part? At the root of every trip to a stationery store is a gift or card for someone special. Selfless shopping plus eye candy everywhere you look? There is no better equation for warm fuzzies.
