This is taking forever! I am on the last panel but I ran out of blue and need to order more. Aside from that I am 3/4 done!
The map is knitted in 4 panels. Last one and I run out of blue!
The Map was drawn up at an unknown time by Thrór and his son Thráin/Elrond believed it was written on a midsummer night under a crescent moon with the Moon-letters giving the directions on how to open the door. It illustrated the Lonely Mountain, the river that flowed from it, the lands surrounding it, and lastly the existence of the secret-entrance on the western side of the mountain. It survived the destruction of the kingdom in TA 2770 by Smaug and was kept by Thrór as an heirloom of his people. In TA 2790 when Thrór grew old and decided to go off on an adventure of his own to the Mines of Moria, the map was given to his son Thráin for safe-keeping. In TA 2841, Thráin left his home in the Blue Mountains (Ered Luin) with a small company to try his luck with the map, intending to reach the Lonely Mountain despite the threat from Smaug, but he never got there. Instead, he was taken prisoner by the Orcs of Dol Guldur and imprisoned in its dungeons by Sauron. Sauron took his Dwarven Ring of Power.
The Moon-letters on the map read: Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's Day will shine upon the key-hole.
In TA 2850, Gandalf went to Dol Guldur in secrecy and found Thráin dieing in captivity but before he died he gave Gandalf the map and the key to the secret entrance, and entrusted him to pass it on to his son Thorin. The map was presented to Bilbo during their visit to Bag End in late April, 2941 and used throughout their adventure.

At the invitation of Archbishop Anastasios. head of the Orthodox Church in Albania, I was in Albania for several weeks in the winter in 2001 to gather information and do interviews for a book that has since been published by the World Council of Churches: The Resurrection of the Church in Albania.

Idaho makes no sense. I speak from experience, having lived in the state for 20 years. Because it was cobbled together from leftovers, Idaho’s regions have nothing in common—they go together about as well as peanut butter and jellyfish.
This problem was understood as far back as 1886, when a bill was passed by Congress that would have eliminated Idaho altogether—giving the south to Nevada and the north to Washington. Alas, President Grover Cleveland vetoed the measure.
In 1907, the best plan of all was proposed, creating the state of Lincoln from northern Idaho and eastern Washington. This brilliant plan not only solved the Idaho problem, but it also made more sense of Washington and Oregon—because both of those states are profoundly divided by the Cascade mountains.

But I wonder where were you
when I was at my worst down on my knees
And you said you had my back
so I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
Used in classrooms to help draw maps. I had loads of these during my schooling in the 80s.
I want to know if these were made in other countries? Finland? Japan? South Africa? Argentina?
Let me know!

Rebels now propagating their own battle maps, which naturally show them in a much stronger position than the government says.
So I had this idea: if you plotted all the major airports in the world, how much would the result resemble a map?
I found a database of airports with country, latitude & longitude etc (http://www.kingwoodcable.com/gpswaypoints/index.htm) and a list of three-letter IATA airport codes (http://www.photius.com/wfb2001/airport_codes_alpha.html).
A bit o' the old PostScript codin' later and I had this. Here I'm showing major and minor airports and colouring them too. Because I can.
This interesting map depicts all the homesteads in the district. The students at the school would stick a pin into whichever property they lived at.
