I just found this on the global site of LG Electronics (http://www.lge.com/general/lg_globalsite.jsp). This map links to the separate LG country sites, sorted by regions. Call me a total nerd, but check this out:
Instead of a reunified Germany, I'm seeing a thick border still running between former East Germany and West Germany (I grew up in East Germany, and I can testify that the reunification did happen.....17 years ago); instead of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, I still see the former Czechoslovakia (which ceased to exist more than 14 years ago...); the CIS is not a nation, it's a commonwealth of sovereign states - the LG map shows the former Soviet Union including the three Baltic states (that never belonged to the CIS but are members of the European Union) and Turkmenistan (which withdrew from the Commonwealth of Independent States in 2005). And: Since there's no separate LG country site for Iceland, I'm not going to mention that Iceland actually belongs to Europe and not to North America (Iceland gets tinted, too, when you roll over North America).
It appears that LG doesn't seem to acknowledge the global political situation after 1990. Sweet, sweet Cold War.
I actually kinda like these little bugs on the map if they just weren't of such a scandalous shame for a global company like LG. Nonetheless I tried to send them a mail thru their "Contact Us" mail form to suggest a slight revise of this map (hint, hint!), but their mail form was so badly coded that - after trying three times - I wasn't able to deliver the message to LG.
So let's just leave LG as the Sleeping Beauty and enjoy the good ol' times before the events of 1989.
Day 10 of my 30 days of watches is a side scrolling world map based on NASA's topo map. The current "noon" is highlighted under the yellow sun, so the map makes one rotation per day. The local time is displayed around the tropic of Capricorn. When the button is pressed the world spins to display the map.

There's a unique fare map at each station showing the fares required to get to desired station. So far fares range from NT20 - NT65 ($0.60 - $2) and tickets can be bought at vending machines. Currently, the MRT station is still expanding (buidling new stations in various parts of Taipei).
Barbados is a sovereign island country in the Lesser Antilles.
Bridgetown is the capital and largest city of the nation of Barbados. Formerly, the Town of Saint Michael, the Greater Bridgetown area is located within the parish of Saint Michael. Bridgetown is sometimes locally referred to as "The City", but the most common reference is simply "Town".

Map of the entire Batona Trail, based on GPS tracklogs imported into Google Earth Plus. This is a LARGE image that I created by taking 2 different Google Earth screen shots and then stitching them together in Photoshop Elements 5.
The Batona Trail is a 50-mile hiking trail through the New Jersey Pine Barrens that stretches from Ong's Hat in the north to Bass River State Forest in the south. Along the way, it passes many of the most famous Pine Barrens locations, including Pakim Pond, Apple Pie Hill, Carranza Memorial, Quaker Bridge, and Batsto Village.
The USATF website has this great feature integrated with Google maps where you can find the exact distance of a running route. Even if some of your run is off-road on grassy areas! This is mine, which takes me past a whole bunch of DC landmarks, which makes things interesting, since I tend to find running kind of boring.
In October 2009, Hinterland acquired two Rare Earth Element "REE" projects in Quebec. The use of REE has increased dramatically over the past years in many modern technology applications, especially automotive catalytic converters, permanent magnets, and rechargeable batteries. New demand has strained supply leading to sharp price increases for REE. This situation was exacerbated in September 2009 when China, essentially the world's only supplier of REE, announced plans to limit exports. Hinterland is currently seeking equity or joint venture financing to fund exploration of these two projects.
