Giving it everything
Down a track in the village of Nethy Bridge, in the Cairngorm mountains, is the Lazy Duck hostel, a camping and self-catering site. On a crisp bright day, a thin sun shining watery rays on the miniature wooden bridge and duck pond, this place feels as if it is suspended in time. It is beautiful and calming, and as far from the rat race as you can imagine. It is owned by Dean's parents, who once ran a school for children with behavioural problems here. Their son retreats here when he comes home between jobs because he has no property of his own, none of the tangible signs of success that other men his age might expect.He first went to Africa in his gap year and fell in love with the continent. His university thesis was on the Sudanese civil war, a piece of work that won him a job at the Financial Times in London.
Brodown Corner
This weekend offers more chances for high fives and male bonding than a damn Hold Steady concert. A mantage, if you will.
Friday, the Parlor and ILoveMikeLitt, the local group that brought us last year's veggie hot dog eating contest and veggie speed dating, present vegan arm wrestling. Now, we all know meat-eating has historically been an essential part of the drive to wear muscle tees and backward baseball caps and pound the roof of your Camaro with your fist during drum solos. But Austin's, like, an open-minded city, so there will be contests for carnivores and herbivores. In addition, locals Sex Advice, the Teeners, Sober Daze, and the Mysterious H bring some adrenaline-pumping, wrist-snapping punk rock. 8pm. Register at veganarmwrestling.com.
Saturday, head over to Club de Ville for Misprint Magazine's 2nd Annual Beard and Moustache contest.
Forty Percent of Workers Have Dated a Co-Worker, CareerBuilder.com's ...
CHICAGO, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- It's that time of year, when nobody can escape the heart-shaped candies, sappy love cards and images of cute, chubby babies flying around with bows and arrows. Love is in the air around Valentine's Day and the workplace is not immune! Four-in-ten (40 percent) workers say they have dated a co-worker at sometime during their careers, with 20 percent admitting to doing it more than twice, according to CareerBuilder.com's annual office romance survey of more than 6,700 workers. Close to three-in-ten (29 percent) workers said they went on to marry the person they dated at work. Comparing age groups, workers aged 55 and older were least likely (34 percent) to say they have dated a co-worker during their careers, while 44 percent of workers aged 35-44 were the most likely to have done so.
Big Red Shoots for Perfection in Ivy League Campaign
Where the New England Patriots failed, the Cornell men's basketball team hopes to succeed in its bid for an undefeated season. Currently 8-0 in the Ivy League (16-5 overall), Cornell would be the first team to go 14-0 in the Ivies since Penn accomplished that feat during the 2002-2003 campaign. The Big Red has won 10 straight dating back to a Jan. 10 home victory against Alvernia, and has been unstoppable since. The Ivy team that has come closest to dethroning Cornell is Harvard, who eventually fell 72-71 in Cambridge, Mass. The Lions came close as well in a 70-64 loss to open the Ivy season in Ithaca, N.Y. The core of Cornell's consistent winning production has come from the play of forward Ryan Wittman and point guard Louis Dale. Wittman is averaging 16 points per game on 49 percent shooting from the floor, including a stellar 49 percent from downtown.
2008 Harley-Davidson FXSTSSE2 Screaming Eagle Softail Springer
Exhaust exits from the right side via staggered over/under slash-cut pipes, emitting a traditional, throaty Harley rumble that's a little more pronounced than a stock bike. The Springer front suspension lends an old school flavor to this limited edition Softail, but it is not uncomfortable - just different. To be honest, it doesn't deliver as cushy a ride up front as inverted telescopic forks, but conversely, they don't look as cool either. A traditional swing arm takes care of the rear suspension duties. Rolling stock consists of Harley-Davidson Dunlop rubber mounted on chrome Revolver 10-spoke cast aluminum profile wheels fore and aft. The front wheel is an 18-incher, while the rear sports a 17-inch wheel. The five-gallon fuel tank is topped by a chrome instrument panel with the speedometer centered at the top, preceded by a freestanding tachometer mounted on the bars.
Amid Fight for Control, IAC Reshuffles M&A Unit
Since we announced our intent to spin off our businesses in the fall, we're trying to streamline management because we'll be a smaller company," she said. The terms of the breakup—and current management's control of the company—is far from clear. Chief Executive Barry Diller's breakup plan calls for a core IAC, including Ask.com, to remain after the spin-off of the Ticketmaster, HSN home shopping network, LendingTree mortgage, and Interval International vacation timeshare units. As part of the plan, Mr. Diller proposed to the IAC board that the five companies convert to a single-tier stock structure after the breakup. That move would halve Liberty Media's voting control from its current 62 percent to its 30 percent economic interest. Liberty's 22.8 percent share of the Class A stock carries one vote per share, but it also owns Class B stock, with 10 votes per share, and preferred stock with two votes per share.
