The fabled Mount Washington snowpack had recently shrunk due to a searingly sunny stretch of 16 degrees on the mountaintop. This meant that a lot of really interesting terrain -- an expert's back-country powder bowl called the Outback, for example -- was closed on our visit. A chagrined PR director Brent Curtain said all they needed was one good snow day and the whole mountain would be back in business. And a week later, they'd had another 50 cm and counting. But with only two hours to ski, it didn't really matter. Without the Outback, the 30-year-old Mount Washington skews family-friendly, with about 60 trails, and lift tickets at $59 ($44 for a half day). Down the road, too, is a beautiful cross-country ski centre called Raven Lodge, with panoramic views and 55 kilometres of terrain y...

Some people frown, but a drop of water will open whiskey up and enhance it," [Robert Galbraith] said, motioning for us to put a few drops -- "just a splash now" -- into the first whiskey we would taste, Bushmills Original. He called it a "gentle giant, a soft and mellow blend. We moved on to two other Bushmills: Black Bush and Single Malt 10-year-old. Galbraith helped us describe the flavors; for Black Bush, we used such words as "assertive" and "lovable rogue." (Isn't that the way every Irishman is described?) For the 10-year-old single malt, "delicate with a hint of chocolate-vanilla." Next, he invited us to smell, then taste Johnnie Walker Red Scotch. The smoky odour and taste were startling after the mellow Irish whiskeys. "That smokiness is from the peat," Galbraith said. "When S...

Studies of early Australian accounting texts and their authors have yet to be augmented by examinations of the subsequent specialist books which were written to guide accounting practice within specific domains, such as the pastoral and mining industries. A study examines the contents, use, and influence of an early specialist pastoral accounting text entitled Station Book-keeping, which was published in Australia in five editions over the period 1900 to 1937. The life and career of the book's author, Francis Ernest Vigars, are also outlined. Station Book-keeping described and advocated a comprehensive system of double-entry accounting for pastoral stations and is posited as a key medium by which this technology was adapted and transferred for use by these entities. In turn, it is argue...

The Munros represent the grand-daddy of mountain-completist challenges, tempting obsessive-compulsive outdoorsmen and women since 1891, when Sir Hugh Munro published a list of every mountain in the Scottish Highlands over 3,000 feet above sea level. (That's 914.4 metres, but you may as well use imperial measurements in a country that refuses to adopt the metric system.) We'd visited castles and ruins and a whisky distillery, walked the melancholy battlefield of Culloden, eaten haggis, petted a long-haired Highland calf, listened to bagpipers and Gaelic singers, fished for sea trout, and biked, paddled and hiked in settings straight out of Braveheart. But still, without a Munro I'd feel as if my trip was incomplete. When we finally reached the summit cairn, just as a blustery wind and ...

The S.S. Minnow set off for a three-hour tour, but as the theme song explained, "The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost. It wasn't lost. It was in Parksville, B.C. where owner Scotty Taylor has kept it since restoring it after it set aground -- on a reef in northern B.C.'s Hecate Strait.
