Oh the holidays. A time for family, friends, and for Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans, a time for a break. Yeah, if you were busy spending time with your loved ones, you may have missed the news that Jenelle and her new husband Courtland Rogers were headed for divorce just under a month after tying the knot after only two months of dating. Man, there are so many ridiculous things wrong in that sentence.
Well not to fret, because the happy couple has confirmed that after a brief fight -- everything is A-OK in the new year. Courtland tweeted to fans on January 1 that he and Jenelle never really broke up, and he loves her with all his heart.
Man. These two are really exhausting me.
It seems to me like there are a LOT of problems the duo has to work out. Between him "stealing her money" and talking to his ex Taylor, there's just no way that the couple can go on pretending these issues don't exist. It's time to get real: If Jenelle and Courtland are talking about divorce within the first month of getting married, then what else could we expect from them in the future?
The most critical thing for them, though, isn't exactly rocket science. Jenelle and her husband need to learn how to talk out their issues in person with one another instead of hashing them out on Twitter. Marriage isn't based on social media, it's based on the bond you have with each other in the flesh. If they can't stand to be in the same room to address their problems, then man, there's absolutely no hope for them in the long haul.
For now, I hope that things stay calm for the lovebirds. Hopefully starting 2013 on the right foot will help their cause.
Do you think Jenelle and Courtland will be in it for the long haul?

So apparently Yeezy is looking to star in a comedy.
You guys, just when I think Kanye West has reached his Kanye West-iest point, just when I think he's doing the most and couldn't possibly surprise me any more with anything he says, he proves me wrong, and I learn a valuable lesson about not underestimating how nutso Ye is. Don't ever change, Yeezy.
Let's talk about this new rumour, yeah?

Ed Murray, Mayor
SUBJECT: City submits recommendations on draft I-502 rules
Kimberly Mills (206) 684-8602
City Attorney Pete Holmes on Monday submitted specific recommendations to the Washington State Liquor Control Board's draft rules for implementing Initiative 502, which Holmes championed last year as a prime sponsor of New Approach Washington.
On behalf of the City of Seattle, Holmes said in his letter, "As Washington's largest city, with the largest number of medical marijuana facilities and strong public opinion favoring legalization, Seattle looks forward to partnering with the Board to regulate this new industry."
Aside from supporting "the overall structure and content of the draft rules," Holmes agreed the board should consider applicants' prior marijuana growing and delivery convictions on an individual basis. "This approach supports I-502's primary goal of displacing illegal competitors," he said. "Moreover, it is well established that America's war on marijuana results in racially disproportionate arrests and convictions -- it is encouraging to see that the Board is working to undo some of the harm caused by those past discriminatory practices."
While agreeing with the board's plans in large part, Holmes suggested a variety of changes to the draft rules dealing with the 1,000-foot rule, marijuana products' availability to children, landlords of marijuana businesses, outdoor grows and waste disposal. More study is needed, he said, regarding medical marijuana, non-residential use and delivery.
Holmes also emphasized the City's need to "share in the State's revenue. Implementing and enforcing I-502 will be a costly venture for government at all levels, from business licensing and zoning to law enforcement and other public health and safety considerations."
In a statement Monday, Mayor Mike McGinn said, "Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved marijuana legalization and we are working hard to implement the public's direction in our city. The City of Seattle today formally submitted comments to the Liquor Control Board to consider during their rule-making process for I-502 implementation. Our comments are the result of my office, our law department and Council staff working together on practical and clear guidelines to help support the effective implementation of I-502 in Seattle."
The board is expected to issue a second and final set of draft rules for comment in the next few weeks.

Eloise's Pretty in Pink and Blue
Name: Eloise (one year)
Location: Vancouver, BC
Eloise's dreamy bedroom is pretty in pink and blue. We used a feminine yet not overtly girly palette and have filled her room with vintage treasures and personal touches.
We moved into our new house from a one bedroom condo so we were very excited for Eloise to have a room of her own (Eloise's Nook was actually a finalist in the 2011 Smaller Cooler Contest). With the exception of the Alma Mini Crib by Bloom, all the furniture in Eloise's room has been handed down or repurposed. Her change table is a dresser I found on Craigslist for $20 and repainted, the armoire is from our old bedroom and the rocking chair and wicker dresser were mine as a girl. I love being able to pass down items from my childhood like the wooden rocking horse, my favourite doll and the pretty fabric on the window valance.
Eloise's room is filled with DIY projects. I made the mobile above her crib out of scrapbooking paper hung from an embroidery hood and dressed up the top of the mosquito net with battenburg lace. The pink and blue bunting was made from fat quarters found at the quilting store and little projects like the tutu wreath, shadow box and silhouette were inspired by Pinterest.
The art on the walls was created inexpensively using Ikea frames and simple projects; the alphabet poster is a piece of wrapping paper from a trendy home decor store, the images above the change table are excepts from an Eloise book. Above the reading corner, tissue pom poms and paper lanterns add ambient light and a pop of colour.
Everything in Eloise's room is either purposeful, pretty, or both. We love spending time reading and playing with Eloise in her room and know that we've made a beautiful place for her to grow up.
Thanks, Jordan! Readers, you can visit Jordan at Baby Bliss with Jordan & Chris.

Turn-key factory control centers
Concept Systems Inc. announced a new product line that is directed at serving factories' needs for flexible, reliable control centers named ControlCore. ControlCore is a customizable mobile enclosure that houses all of the electrical and electronic components that are typically incorporated in a factory work cell.
The ControlCore control centers accept power directly from the utility source, and include all circuit breakers and power conditioners. Motor control centers mounted within the units contain all variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor starters. Large circuits are provided for driving high current devices such as air compressors. The systems are also outfitted with rack-mounted PLCs and data servers as required by the application, and are network-enabled for connection to other factory systems.
For security-conscious applications, different access control options are available to restrict vendors' access to their own equipment, if necessary, and different levels of shock and vibration protection and climate controls are available, making the ControlCore a good choice for use in harsh or dirty environments.
The enclosures can be outfitted for operation inside or outdoors, and for mobile use, the enclosures can be provided with trailer mounts. The highly secure, self-contained, premanufactured and tested nature of the ControlCore also makes the product well suited for installation in remote areas where technical skill may be limited.

The Mean Girls of FOX and radio have had educations, financial security, and all the benefits of living in America--so why are they so hostile and vicious?
Shakespeare's "Macbeth" opens with three witches on a heath. "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." And Macbeth steps on stage! How right their prognosticasions were as he, at his wife's urging, murders the king.
In the present time, four witches dominate the conservative commentators: Ann Coulter, Laura Ingram, Michelle Malkin, and Sarah Palin, a self proclalimed "pit-bull with lipstick." Their prognastications and opinions are often the topic of Fact Checkers and they fail the Truth Test. These women are vicious, malicious, malevolent.
Laura Ingram used to be witchy to the LBGT community, until her brother came out as Gay. When she faced the fact her brother had a loyal and supportive relationship with his partmer, she backtracked on spewing hatred at Gay people. But, she continues against the POTUS and liberals.
Michelle Malkin is another FOX personality, blogger, and columnist who lives in Colorado Springs, known for its ulta-conservatism. It speaks volumsn that even Geraldo Reviera dislikes Michelle.
Ann Coulter is another conservative "personality," and author. Her words reveal her better than I can:
"Perhaps, someday, blacks will win the right to be treated as volitional human beings. But not yet."
"It would be a much better country if women did not vote...in every presidential election since 1950---except Goldwater in 1964---the Republicans would have won if only the men had voted."
"I might be in favor of national health care if it requird all Democrats to geh their heads examined."
"I'm a Christian first, and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don't you ever forget it."
i do not understand how "mean-spirited" and "Christian" can reside in the same person. However I certainly see Ann as "Mean spirited." I also see her as a racist, and I am not sniping. I'm reporting my conclusion based on her words and the American history that I have witnessed.
I well remember the March on Selma; the fire bombing that killed three little black girls in the 16th Street Birminghame Baptist Church; the fire hoses turned on James Meridith when he walked on the campus at the University of Mississippi; the white "mothers" screaming obscenties at little girls as they integrated the public schools in Alabama while George Wallace stood in the doorway to block them; the courage of Rosa Parks who would not give up her seat on a public bus; the "I Have a Dream" speech and the assassination of Martin Luther King. I read Black Like Me. I remember so well the pain of the black citizens, many of whom served in Viet Nam, and the shame I felt for those hateful, ignorant whiltes. They would accept people of color as contributing members of society with equal rights.
These four "witches" who claim to be Christians and Conservatives all are college graduates. All come from Middle Class families. All claim to be loyal, patriotic Americans. If they were patriots and Christians they would work to build up the US, not to tear down. They would support and promote for the greater good.
They would do well to heed the ancient advice of Aesop---"No act of kindness, however smll, is ever wasted"

I mentioned in Tuesday's post that I'd do a review of the Klona solid cotton fabric that I used to make my Tula Pink LOVE quilt.
The fabric was provided by Abakhan Fabrics, where it's available for £7.25 per metre. It's a full 135 cm wide instead of the usual 114 cm, so it's a very good deal.
It's a bit stiffer than, say, Kona solids, which means (for me, anyway) that it doesn't really need to be starched before you can work with it. It's also a bit 'rougher', not quite as silky. However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it means that it 'sticks' to other fabrics easily. So if you like to press your pieces together so they are completely flat before sewing, Klona solids will 'stick' and stay there until you can pin. Indeed, if you're working with smaller pieces, you don't need to pin as long as you're careful.
I was a bit worried that it would still feel stiff after washing and drying my LOVE quilt, but it hasn't – the motion of the machines seems to have softened it up considerably.
I had a bit of the Klona red left over, and today I decided to make myself a posh knitting project bag from a pattern I bought from Jeni of In Color Order. You don't have to have the pattern to make one – there's a tutorial for a slightly smaller version of it on her website. If you do want larger or smaller bags, you'll have to get the pattern. It only costs $6.50 and is fantastic. There are 8 bag sizes and full instructions, including the formula if you want to make one to your own dimensions. It's very clearly written, and I'm so pleased with how mine turned out that I've decided to make them as Christmas gifts. It was really quick to make, and the finished product is superb. They look quite professional, and if you wanted you could make the interior out of plastic so it could be a wash bag or makeup bag (my students use a cheap shower curtain to make wash bags).
I used the Klona for the interior, and again it was a breeze to cut and sew. I definitely will use the Klona again, and I really recommend it. It comes in many, many colours so you'll be able to find one to match, and it's SUCH a good value considering how wide it is. If you've never used Klona solids before, I recommend giving them a try – you may discover a new (cheaper!) favourite!

Well do you want the truth or do you want to feel good about it?
I'll give the feel good first, it is a well laid out design if you want to travel with it. Pelican cases are tough and they protect your firearms well for traveling, and with the compactness most people would think it is high end camera or computer gear instead of a rifle. Proabably isn't going to change the fact it will attract people wanting to steal it, but it won't freak anyone out like carrying a rifle case sometimes does at major airports.
However the truth is, Pelican cases are terrible just like any other gun case for long term storage as moisture will get trapped in the foam making it totally worthless if you want to store something ready to "bug out" long term. plus the case is totally worthless to keep the rifel in as a med-lg ruck sack full of supplies, a tactical vest with all your gear (mags w/ammo, flaslights, knives, & firestarter) in it, and your SBR put together will be better in a "BO" situation. Keep your gear in a wall locker and your SBR in a safe to securely store your complete rifle which is much more useful than having wheels on a $300 custom cutout Pelican case so you can drag it along.

You have actually made some very interesting points..You are correct about the pluck out foam over time it will absorb moisture and can cause potential hazard to your firearms..But i have no intention of storing my gun for long periods of time in my pelican case..This was actually for a bug out scenerio..I actually have a 16gun Iron Safe at home that i keep all my guns in ..It would be very stupid to have a Registered SBR firearm locked away in a pelican case for safe keepings.Another valid point you made was to own and have a tactical vest..This i do have and it is a grab and run vest fully loaded with all the bells in whistles ..and i will be making another video based on the vest..Also when i recieve my Rucpac i will make an additional video to show the viewers of what you can do with a standard pelican case if you do not want to drag it or carry it with one hand..Here is a video link and picture of what the Rucpac can do for the standard pelican case.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-VNx1jHVgo ...
Thanx again for commenting and your input..

Again don't take this the wrong way but it is a totally useless case for a "bug out" situation. I'll try and take this away from a SHTF which "Bug Out" is the new PC name for. I lived constantly with a "BO" bag for four years as it was my job when I was in the infantry with the 3-325 ABCT and 3-505 PIR. When you were QR cycle you had your bags packed ready to deploy at a moments notice and you were never officially more than 50 miles from base.
When we had an alert we got back to base ASAP within two hours. Then we started to gear up fill canteens full of water, grabbed your bags and went down to the arms room and drew weapons, got commo and other sensitive items. Then you went to a staging area where you would receive MRE's and ammunition usually blanks to load up our magazines with.
My point is a wheeled hard case is a PITA to carry and having your firearm inside isn't going to any good and it can easily be taken off of you. You can carry more weight longer and farther by having it in a rucksack secured to your shoulders and with a belt than you can carry or drag a suitcase. Even if you get a rucpak and throw out all the foam and just use the case to pack your gear in, it isn't big enough for everything you'll need to get by one week.
You need a ruck big enough that you can fit all your gear inside not on the outside, if it is convenient for you to get to it can easily be lost or stolen while it is on your back. Put things inside like spare ammunition and batteries, first aid, food, water, extra clothes, boots, sleeping gear, hygiene kit, wet and cold weather gear, tools and a cleaning kit for your firearms. Then your tactical vest keep your loaded magazines, a knife with a small steel or sharpening stones, maybe 20-30' of 550 cord, water, some granola/power bars, flashlight, sidearm with ammo (if you want), and anything else you might need convenient quick access to. Then use a good single point sling to carry your rifle with. You'll want to stay under 70 lbs total weight as well between ruck, vest and firearms.
This means an BG is actually going to have to subdue you to get your firearms and gear away from you because they can't just get you separated from it by having it knocked out of your hands and run off with it as you were dragging it behind you on the wheels, and you have to deal with his buddies in front of you. A firearm isn't going to do you any good inside of a case and and broke down into two pieces so it is even more compact. Plus you want them to know what you are carrying so they know if they come after you they are going to have a fight on their hands, and they are going to pay dearly. BG's aren't going to wait around for you to get your SBR out a case put it together and load a magazine in it, put the spare mags in your pockets so you can have a fair fight.
If you want to plan for a natural disaster such as Sandy or Katrina where you might have to leave town in a hurry until things blow over. Look up a packing list for a light infantry soldier needs for a week in the field. If you Google it I'm sure you'll find find one somewhere and tweak it to fit you. Keep it packed in a bag and ready to go and you'll be fine for most situations. Remember pack the ruck with things you'll need and pack your vehicles with things you can live without if you have to abandon it.
Don't get me wrong I still think you planned and laid out your case well. You'll be traveling to the range and other places in style and I'm sure other people will appreciate it as well. However when you are in a situation where you need to go somewhere in a hurry having your gear in a durable plastic case or taking the time to pack it in there is the least convenient place of all.

I mostly agree with Taylor. 50 beo would not be my first choice either. Something in 308 would be my choice. Good range and will kill anything you would ever want to eat. Easy to find ammo for. 7.62x39 would be my second choice, 223 my 3rd. I like the 50 beo but it just does not have the utility that other rounds do.
I do love pelican cases though and recommend them highly. Molle vests and backpacks are nice. I'm more careful about what I put on my backpack as its is easier to swipe but light things that dont offer much interest are fine.

Yes you guys make some very valid points..I have never been deployed nor been to war..So you will have more experience than i do with these type of situations..One thing i have alot of experience in is hiking/hunting and traveling through the amazon jungle in South America..I guess i have had alot of bad luck with cloth nylon soft cases and back packs..They for some reason dont last very long due to the wet muddy and damp elements out there..A few have fallen over in the amazon river and of course i had to take everything out to dry it out and even throw away some contents that were inside..When the french expedition team came down there they were all packing pelican cases and they said they would not have chosen nothing else due to the fact what the pelican case can withstand especially when rafting through rough waters..
As for choice in caliber.. I Also get that question alot..The reason is ..i usually go hunting up north on my lease ..we also do some camping up there as well..my lease has been known to have mountain lions and black bear,..I know for a fact the 50 beowulf can kill almost anything on planet earth..And i dont feel under gunned when walking the trails in the middle of no where..I usually load her up with some 350gr brass spitzer rounds.I can carry around 130 rounds total with fully loaded mags and extra ammo in the case..Weight can be a little bothersome though .The kit was made to easily transport my sbr from my home to the lease or for traveling to the shooting ranges..but im hoping i will never have to use it as a survival kit..In this case i will have to add a small pistol and some more medical supplies plus a few other things i might have to cram inside

Pelican cases are great and if you want to use it in combo with a RucPac. However you've spend time in the bush and ask yourself if I take everything out of my Pelican case is it large enough to hold all the gear I'd need to survive a week or two where you have hiked and camped before? To me it is all about weight savings and Pelican cases aren't lightweight IMO. Hight heat and humidity does tend to destroy fabric faster than anywhere else, but even your RucPac has nylon webbing that will eventually rot away.
I like this waterproof bag for rainy areas and they have worked well in South East Alaska, but I'm not packing it much as it usually rides in the boat. I like to use these dry bags inside of my regular frame pack ruck which works much better than the other bag I linked to for long trek's through the back country. I do have a ruck frame with a shelf that I usually use while hunting for hauling game off the mountain and I have strapped the first pack on to it as well if I've needed it to hike long distances.
The thing I like as well about fabric rucksacks is that they are a lot quieter. Especially when hunting and I might be moving through some thick woods, when branches drag against it it doesn't sound quite so loud IMO as the branches hitting the stock of my synthetic rifles. Nor when you set it down among rocks and thick brush, and quieter is always better for me at least.

It would make a nice travel or range case, but for a serious "bug out" it would be terrible IMHO. Like others have stated, not trying to rain on your parade.
I have a Pelican case that fits my AR-15 and my 1911 with all the mags you can want.. but it is a true beast of a case.
The wheels add weight and nothing more.. your not bugging out walking down the sidewalk.
The .50Beowulf would be one of my last choices for such a situation... large heavy RARE ammo, minimum capacity. 15 round mags might be a "hi-cap" for that gun, but firing under stress those will be empty very quickly, and a true bug out situation... where are you going to resupply for ammo?
I understand your concern for large predators and I've said this in other threads... Yes they are a real threat, but even a .223 with the right rounds.. will kill a bear, and a mountain lion... is it ideal, no.... but you can even kill an engine block with 30 rounds of steel tipped ammo.
I am not saying the .223 is the best round ever.. but it is lighter, you can pack much more volume, and you can find it almost anywhere.
Just my initial thoughts, I will give you props on the nice rig, and rifle, but for ME, it is far from a bug out set up.

And thanx for commenting all input and recommendations are welcome here..You are right about the 223/556 holding much more round capacity which brings it to an advantage in this category ..But the fact of the matter with the most popular calibers such as 556/223 308 762x39 etc ..are actually harder to get in a bug situation or an OBAMA Scare like what we are currently in.Also my lease owner does not allow us to hunt on his land with nothing less than 6.5mm..Ammunition prices have sky rocketed through the roof and when people get scared of an actual bugout situtation or political situation your supply and demand comes into effect.my 50 beowulf supply is currently close to 2000 rounds.It is not the cheapest round nor the most readily available round but i much more prefer this over any 223/556 just from the devastating effects that it has had on my animal kills.I dont believe i will be able to carry all 2000 rounds on me unless i am a serious body builder but i would be able to carry more than a few hundred rounds on me with tac vest and my bug out bag..The reason i also dont carry the 556/223 round as a hunting round is because i have had a few problems with it in the past in amazon..we have a really hard time taking down hogs and jaguar with it..Usually if you shoot the animal ..either two things happen..they either get scared and run off about a mile away and die..or they get ****** off and end up killing or seriously injuring you.some people here where i live swear by it and they use it for almost any situation..For me its good all purpose military round that has been killing people for decades..but i rather prefer the knockdown power of the 50beowulf ..Im not the best of shots and i know if i miss a vital area and i hit a leg or arm the beowulf energy/bullet and weight will rip off the limbs very easily..As for a the pelican case being a bug out bag ..it will be my other option in this category and i am going to have to take it out on a test run using the Rucsac when i go back hunting on the trail , but Taylorce1 has pointed me in a good direction with a waterproof sac which i think is a great addition..Thanx again for your input and you have made some really good valid points..

Silent Arch
Central Utah
As you hike through a big sandy plain it seems like you will never find anything but more sand stretching onward for miles, but then you come over a ridge and there is this wonderful arch out in the middle of no where. I spent quite a few hours here just enjoying the scene and the amazing silence of the place. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.
The print only option is the most affordable route to go. It is just what it sounds like: prints on high quality archival photographic paper without any mounting or framing. One of the benefits of going this route is that you can bring them to your local frame shop to have the matted and framed exactly as you like. Prints are also great if you are in a hurry as they usually arrive in 5-7 days from the time of order.
This mounting option is by far our most popular format. It is both durable and beautiful. It allows the images to reveal an almost three dimensional quality creating the impression of actually being there. This is because there is almost no glare or reflection such as you find with even the most expensive types of glass. An additional benefit is that the artwork is very durable and can even be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The artwork also resists fading because it has UV protection. When you order a plaque from us, they arrive ready to hang.
Plaque with Frame
We now also offer a unique framing system for our plaque mounted images. This option is perfect if you are wanting a more traditional frame but want to benefit from the great features offered by plaque mounting. The frames we are using are about 2" thick and create the impression that the plaque is floating within the frame by use of a gap between the inside edge of the frame and the plaque. These frames come in both walnut and black and are an affordable way to take the photo to the next level.
You can order prints in various formats such as print only, plaque, framed plaque, acrylic or matted. Upon special request, we also offer our prints in canvas.
For more information about the display options, please see the prints page.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
I am confident that you will be pleased with the quality of these prints, so I offer a full refund (not including postage) for any product returned in new condition within 10 days of receipt.

PARIS -- With a new show venue (a theater instead of his headquarters) and a new investor (Puig), French fashion's 60-year-old enfant terrible Jean Paul Gaultier was hoping for a reboot when he showed his fall 2013 collection Saturday night at
The scene: Dispensing with the campy themes we've come to expect from his recent runway extravaganzas (last season's ode to 1980s pop stars, for example), Gaultier seemed to be trying to put the focus back on the clothes. Of course, that didn't prevent him from using goofy, mullet-style wigs.
2013 Fashion Week coverage
The look: Riffs on his own classics, starting with a pair of studded leather cone-bra shirts and carrying through to trench coats, patchwork furs and sharp-shouldered jackets worn with leggings. New propositions included maxi skirts and sack dresses in an alphabet logo print spelling out "Jean Paul Gaultier" or a print of models in silhouette.
The verdict: While Gaultier succeeded in updating several of his signatures from the 1980s and '90s and making them more palatable for today, he didn't register any connection to the grittiness of the street, which is what earned him the "enfant terrible" moniker in the first place.

10 Unconventional Map Decor Ideas
Yesterday Misty rounded up globe decor, and today we bring you maps. Decorating with maps and globes seems like just the thing to do when summer hits. Not only are maps easy to afford, they are visually stimulating and stirring to the soul. We love maps because we can see where we've been and dream about where we're going.
"Map" is a general term for many types of infographics. There are traditional maps that show countries and cities, there are maps of the sea, subway maps and even maps of buildings (also known as blueprints).
We think the most important thing to remember when shopping for map décor is to remember that maps aren't just relegated to the wall. You can find map motifs on bedding, accessories, throw pillows, furniture and more.
1) Get crafty We love this felt pillow depicting a modern map. Not all maps have to be store bought (or even accurate) to make a great visual impact.
2) Use an untraditional frame We're pretty big fans of anything framed in an embroidery hoop, and these maps great a fun wall decor item when combined with hoops.
3) Go oversized and nautical You don't have to be the captain of a ship to incorporate a giant framed nautical map into your space.
4) Choose furniture with maps This cute coffee table was a craft project featured on Craft; totally a doable do-it-yourself project.
5) Textiles make a great place to feature maps We love maps that add texture and softness like Soft-Maps by Emily Fischer.
6) Go for maps with vibrant, graphic visuals A great example is this Modern Art Metro Maps
7) Use plush maps Pillows with maps on them are both functional and informative.
8) Use maps with more maps Using the same fabric print over and over again in a room can have dynamic effects, and so can using more than one map-themed piece of decor.
9) Illuminate your maps We love the idea of using maps as a light fixture, like this great pendant lamp with map shade.
10) Remember maps can be of many things We love this post about using blueprints in decor (they count as maps!) and their bold blue backgrounds really catch the eye.

On All Saints Day, in the year of our Declaration of Independence, Father Junipero Serra officially founded Mission San Juan Capistrano, ushering in the dawn of California's wine culture. It wasn't Napa, Lodi, or Cucamonga that witnessed the first cultivation of the vine in the Las Californias Province of New Spain. Nor were the Padres planting California's storied Zinfandel grape, which wouldn't arrive in the New World for another seventy years.
150 Year Old Mission Grapes
Besides posole, citrus, pigs, and figs, the Franciscan missionaries brought the Criolla grape (Listan Prieta) to Las Californias. Today, Criolla, the Mission Grape, is largely extinct in its native Spain, and there are less than one thousand acres of Mission Grapes under cultivation in California. Although the Mission grapevine is a heavy producer, by the mid-1800's it had been supplanted by Zindandel.
Mission Grapes were crushed in an adobe vat (above) by young Juaneno (Acagchemem) Indian men. Once crushed, the juice flowed into a covered, adobe fermentation vat (below), located in an adjacent room.
The Padres made dry and sweet wines, both red and white, as well as brandy and a fortified dessert wine called Angelica. Apparently, the Men in Frocks were pretty good at their trade. Anchored off San Juan Capistrano in 1825, Captain John Hall recorded in the ship's log that.....
Good wine can be procured from the Friars, both white wine and red, the latter being of fine flavor.

When I was in school, my English teacher introduced me to the concept of "God words" - words whose associations are so visceral that they can't be argued against. As a result, rational discourse flees from them like birds from the sound of a hunter's rifle. I went to school in Ronald Reagan's America, and my teacher cited "Liberal" and "Communist" as God words. Use these words against your opponent and they're unlikely to get a fair hearing.
Thirty years later and we have new words. During a recent speech at St. Angela's College in Sligo, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny linked fracking to reducing emigration, creating jobs, and lowering the cost of energy. Never mind that many legitimately question whether these are jobs worth having, or if the energy is really cheap when you consider all the costs.
David Cameron is at it too, writing in The Daily Telegraph that fracking has "real potential to drive energy bills down" and that a thriving shale-gas industry could create tens of thousands of jobs and millions of pounds for local communities. Jobs. Recovery. Cheap energy. How can anyone not be in favour?
Fracking - in the form that Kenny and Cameron are so keen on - is roughly a decade old and involves drilling horizontally underground for miles and then injecting the bores with water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure. The liquid absorbs the gas, and when the pressure is released, about 20 percent of the water comes to the surface where the gas is extracted.
The rest of the water and chemicals (including substances like benzene, diesel, and formaldehyde) remain underground. Estimates for the number of wells that could be drilled in the Northwest are in the region of 3,000, drilled in sets of between 16 and 24 on sites about 5-9 acres each, requiring an infrastructure of roads, pipelines, storage and treatment facilities, millions of gallons of water and hundreds of tons of chemicals, delivered by thousands of lorries and forced into the earth's crust by large noisy compressors each time you frack each well.
If analysis by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has any relevance to Ireland, only 600 of these wells will be commercially viable.
But what about jobs? Tamboran Resources, the Australian company who applied for a licence to explore the shale in North Leitrim and Cavan, claim that "€7bn gas investment could create 600 full time jobs". That's €11.6million per job. Leaving aside whether that really represents value for money, let us bear in mind that that is not a net figure.
Food, agriculture and tourism support almost 500,000 jobs and even a marginal loss resulting from fracking will significantly exceed the jobs promised by fracking promoters. Just last month, the New Zealand-based dairy co-operative Fonterra announced that it would no longer accept milk from any new dairy suppliers based in areas of New Zealand where fracking waste has been spread and covered. In the States, if all the U.S. jobs promised by their fracking promoters materialised, it would have reduced the 2012 US unemployment rate by a whopping 0.5%. Hardly a "game changer", Mr Rabbitte.
But what about cheap energy? According to Deborah Rogers, former advisor to the US Department of the Interior on extractive industries, the gas is cheap only because producers have glutted the market to service their debts. Fracking is very expensive and investors expect rapid and significant returns. If these low prices persist, the fracking industry will collapse. In her lecture "Fraconomics", she says that claims about the amount of extractable gas have been vastly and routinely overstated - in many cases, by more than double the actual production rates. She goes on to say that the much-touted 100-years of US gas available "simply isn't true in a way that is meaningful." At today's prices and using today's technology, there are only about 11 years of gas available.
But what about recovery? If only about 11 years' worth of gas is recoverable, how much of a recovery is that going to fuel? Certainly not a sustainable one. According to an industry publication Powers Energy Investor, production at the Fayetteville shale play in Arkansas reached peak production a mere 6 years after drilling began. This is relevant because Tamboran believe that Fayetteville is the shale play that most closely resembles the shale in Leitrim. And Tamboran's own projections assume rates of productivity that have simply not materialised in the US.
Jobs. Cheap energy. Recovery. Fracking is not necessarily going to provide any of these things, and it is reasonable to argue that it will do the exact opposite. So why is there no debate at government level? The sad truth is that facilitating onshore gas extraction is already government policy. The real focus of the government's efforts is to ensure that there is a legal basis for fracking. The EPA study is not considering whether fracking should be allowed, or the impact 3000 wells would have on human health. They're only considering the effects of fracking in exploration, and once exploration proves that there are commercial reserves, companies will have the right to exploit them,. Yes, they'll need planning permission and safety permits, but ultimately the use of fracking is a political decision – and this one's being made without any meaningful public debate.
Jobs. Cheap energy. Recovery. These words tell us to accept the future, not to choose it. Choice requires debate, openness and accountability. But that's not what we're getting. School's out.
