North of 60: Dog Sledding, Ice Caves, Snowboarding and Mountain Summits with Mandy

Back in January, I went on a climbing trip to Mexico. I had a great time climbing the amazing multi-pitch limestone walls out there, and enjoying the beautiful Mexican landscape. But I also met someone, and ultimately fell in love with this person, over the course of several months, writing e-mails and letters and postcards and talking over Skype. That person, Mandy, decided to come visit me in Whitehorse for two weeks in late March / early April.

US Helping ISIS? One Accidental Airdrop vs Billions in Covert Aid

October 23, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci – LD) – The Washington Post would report that the United States military accidentally dropped by air at least one pallet of weapons and supplies that ended up in the hands of the so-called “Islamic State” or ISIS. While a combination of factors about this particular story appear suspicious, including SITE Intelligence Group’s involvement in quickly disseminating an alleged video of ISIS terrorists rooting through the supplies, one fact remains. While the US claims it has “accidentally” allowed weapons to fall into the hands of ISIS terrorists, in reality, the US has been arming, funding, and aiding ISIS and its terrorist affiliates either directly or through Saudi, Qatari, Jordanian, or…

Coturnix (Japanese) Quail Laying Nesting and Egg Management Tips for the Backyard Grower

When it comes to growing quail in the backyard environment one of the big advantages we have over a commercial operation is the lack of any market pressure to sustain a product all year round. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Therefore, we don’t need to worry too much when our quail go off the lay for a few months and that’s a really good thing because it’s actually natural for quail to stop laying over winter. And, the reason quail don’t normally lay through the winter months is because the daylight hours are less during this time of the year. Quail need about 12 hours of daylight…

Foment in the ferments part 3

Well someone has to say it – if you’re going to make your own Christmas cake you need to start planning it just about now. I know no-one wants to think about Christmas yet (OK just me then) but it has to be done. They not only take time to make, but you also need time to feed it with alcohol, marzipan it and then ice it. Each step needs time before progressing to the next. And this type of cake improves for the keeping, I think. A couple of months is just about right. Many folk have their own favourite recipe and this is mine, which means that it’s made from spelt flour and also sourdough – how could it be any other? …

How to Shop

I had a friend who once told me that she never learned how to shop. What she meant was she didn’t know how to “bargain shop”. She said she went to one grocery store and just bought what they had. This was kind of amazing to me. It never occurred to me that people didn’t watch the sales and shop accordingly.I was quite pleased when I moved here to find that there were 4 large grocery stores in town to choose from (we only have 3 now) and they are all no more than a mile from each other. It didn’t take long to establish ‘what to buy where’. This has changed some over the years but I still know what is mostly on …

Feminism, Self-Defense & Victim Blaming

These are the folks who think Ms. Nevada was wrong to say this, from Larry Correia “But I think more awareness is very important so women can learn how to protect themselves. Myself, as a fourth-degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself. And I think that’s something that we should start to really implement for a lot of women.”Basically, They think they should be able to just wish bad things won’t happen, and anyone who comes along and says “reality doesn’t work that way” is an evil misogynist who’s victim blaming….
