Night Rod Special - cream of the 2012 Harley-Davidsons
2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special in custom red paintjob
Harley-Davidson is an American success story. The company has been manufacturing its iconic machines since 1903 but its values were forged by association with the post-war "rebel" motorcycle clubs and paradoxically with the highway patrol police they were so often in conflict with. Like so much of US manufacturing Harley-Davidson took a hit from the rise of the Far East in the 1980s but the boom years of 90's excess saw Harley-Davidson successfully consolidate its brand into the global symbol of 'the American Dream' that it is today. Harley-Davidson understands its place in the world and the 2012 model line up contains variations on all the traditional designs that people expect, some of them going back to the 1920's. It would be wrong however to imagine that the company rejects technological advancement - far from it, and there can be no more beautiful expression of that than the Night Rod Special.

Care for Two Rescued Rabbits
Roll over image to zoom in
Every spring in the U.S., thousands of bunnies are purchased as live toys for children. Exuberant children and ground-loving, easily frightened rabbits are not a good mix, however. Once the child loses interest and the rabbit grows into adolescence -- including natural behaviors such as chewing, spraying, or digging -- many rabbits are destined to be abandoned on the side of a road. But because most were bred in the equivalent of puppy mills and taken from their mothers at early ages, these young rabbits are ill-equipped to survive on their own.
The Rabbit Sanctuary, Inc. exists to rescue and care for these rabbits, as well as ones rescued from laboratories and commercial breeders. Located in Simpsonville, South Carolina, the Rabbit Sanctuary is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that cares for rabbits rescued from local shelters, commercial breeders, laboratories, and unfit homes. Housed on thirty acres, the Rabbit Sanctuary is proud of its unique "Home for Life" policy, ensuring a permanent home for rabbits in need of one, including special-needs animals.
Rabbits living at the Rabbit Sanctuary are spayed or neutered unless the surgery would be dangerous for them. Because rabbits are social creatures who feel safest with other rabbits, they are paired in twosomes or threesomes so they can snuggle and groom each other. The "Rabbitats" area where they live is covered by a large wooden roof to shelter them from rain, but open to the environment on the sides, so the rabbits can see the sun and stars and feel the wind. They are completely safe from predators at all times. A wooden house and high mounds of hay keep them warm in the mild South Carolinan winter, and shading trees keep them cool in the summer. Instead of being in cages high off the ground, the rabbits have large territories of ground where they can run, jump, and dig in the dirt. After awhile, the rabbits realize that they are there to stay and that they have a "Home for Life."
$10.00 helps care for two rescued rabbits, providing approximately a week's worth of rabbit food, including pellets and a wide variety of delicious, seasonal produce that could include carrots, kale, spinach, cilantro, apples, and other treats.

Officials say a determined man was arrested trying to swim into the U.S. while floating on a duffle bag full of pot.
NBC San Diego reports that a 55-year-old unidentified Mexican citizen was taken into custody after being spotted in the ocean just 600 yards from the U.S./Mexico border.
The man was using a duffle bag as a flotation device. Inside the bag, officials found more than $23,000 in illegal drugs, including seven bundles of marijuana weighing more than 50 pounds.

Hollywood Chinese
Filmmaker Arthur Dong's documentary Hollywood Chinese pays homage to the first century of the American film industry, as specifically colored and influenced by the Chinese immigrants to whom Hollywood owes an inestimable debt. Dong touches on everyone from actress Anna May Wong, of Limehouse Blues (1934) and Lady from Chungking (1943), to the late cameraman James Wong Howe, responsible for giving the Rock Hudson thriller Seconds (1966) such a creepy and inventive look. Dong also explores the newer generation of Chinese-American filmmakers, including such giants as Wayne Wang and Ang Lee, responsible for such contemporary classics as The Joy Luck Club, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Brokeback Mountain. At the same time, a haunting and telling undercurrent of racism and stereotypes weaves its way in, suggestive of the difficulties that Chinese men and women found working in Hollywood -- particularly in the early years. As a historical footnote, Dong also makes film history by rediscovering and editing in footage from what is alleged to be the first Asian-American film ever made: the 1916 Curse of Quon Gwan, directed by Marion Wong.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Charlotte Apartments For Rent
There's a joke in Charlotte, North Carolina that visitors only visit once. Why? Because they fall in love with the city and stay! The Queen City is certainly majestic – it spreads across the gently rolling hills of the Carolina Piedmont, just east of the Catawba River and south of Lake Norman. And while residents may joke about visitors staying, there's no question Charlotte's population is booming. Charlotte is the one of the nation's fastest-growing cities and is a major financial hub.
Charlotte is a major college town, home to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Johnson & Wales University, Central Piedmont Community College, and Queens University of Charlotte. Davidson, a suburb of Charlotte, is home to Davidson College – one of the top liberal arts colleges in the US.
Perhaps one visit had you hooked, as well! Or perhaps you'll be attending UNC Charlotte. Or maybe you want to become a part of Charlotte's thriving financial, technical, and business climate. No matter what the reason you want to rent an apartment in Charlotte, here's the buzz about the Queen City!
Things to Do in Charlotte:
Charlotte has long attracted new residents. Thomas Spratt was among the first European settlers to arrive to the area that is now Charlotte back in 1755. Once you've selected your Charlotte apartment, learn more about the city's long and impressive history! Start at the Charlotte Museum of History then head for the impressive grandeur that is the Duke Mansion. The Historic Duke Mansion was built in 1915 and includes the impressive Southern mansion and award-winning gardens.
Built around 1800, the historic Latta Plantation is a living history farm. This former cotton plantation hosts tours as well as special events, including Civil War reenactments, festivals, and a children's summer camp.
The historic Rosedale Plantation, built in 1815, is a huge 4,600-square-foot home. While the plantation once contained 919 acres, today there are 8.5 acres remaining. The plantation offers tours and hosts weddings and special events.
Now that you are familiar with Charlotte's past, it's time to "fast" forward to the present and the NASCAR Hall of Fame! Check out the exhibits, attend an event, check out Heritage Speedway, or have lunch at the Pit Stop Café.
Perhaps you prefer art museums to race cars. Charlotte has you covered with the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Anne Neilson Fine Art, the McColl Center for Art and Innovation, and the NoDa Arts District to explore.
Charlotte is home to Carowinds, a 398-acre amusement park. Boomerang Bay, a 20-acre water park, is located within Carowinds. If you love roller-coasters, be sure to check out the latest roller coaster, Fury 325. This is the world's tallest and fastest giga coaster. The coaster travels up to 95 miles per hour and is 6,602 feet long with a 325-foot lift height. Other rides include the Carolina Cyclone, the Carolina Cobra, Nighthawk, the Hurler, and the Intimidator.
The US National Whitewater Center offers thrilling outdoor adventures such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, zip lines, a canopy tour, and rope courses. The center is located on 500 acres along the Catawba River and includes a picnic area, restaurant, gift shop, and concession stands.
If you prefer your thrilling adventures in the form of Broadway shows and musical performances, the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center hosts everything from the Charlotte Symphony to the Martha Graham Dance Company to Broadway plays to stand-up comedians. The Bojangles' Coliseum opened in 1955 as Charlotte's first major sports and entertainment venue. The coliseum hosts music concerts, rodeos, competitions, and family shows.
Sports fans will love cheering on the NFL Carolina Panthers at the Bank of America Stadium! This 74,455-seat stadium is located in Uptown. The stadium is also used for college sports events, concerts, and special events. The NBA Charlotte Hornets play at Time Warner Cable Arena, a large arena that also hosts the AHL ice hockey team, the Charlotte Checkers.
What to Consider When Moving to Charlotte:
The Queen City is also the Hornet's Nest. The second nickname came about during the American Revolution, when hostile residents drove British commander General Cornwallis out of the city. The General later declared that Charlotte was a "hornet's nest of rebellion." The NBA Charlotte Hornets derive their name from this historical event.
Charlotte is a major financial center, and it is also home to many Fortune 500 companies. Bank of America, Duke Energy, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Lance Inc., Sonic Automotive, and Chiquita Brands International are all located in Charlotte.
NASCAR is huge here, so if you're not a fan yet – you will be soon! Charlotte is home to several NASCAR offices in addition to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The Charlotte Motor Speedway is located in nearby Concord.

Dear participants of the Kohls deals threadIn the light of recent events most of you are well aware of, we would like to remind you about some of our policies, and set a few expectations moving forward with the combined Kohls deals thread. SlickDeals.net is meant to be a friendly community to share deals and allow everyone to get in on some of the best bargains on the internet and in brick & mortar stores. It's not an exclusive deal site, and never will be, and as such, every member should be welcome, regardless of their join date, rep count, or level of expertise in bargain shopping. Being a good size community, there will always be some tension present, and it's important to understand that dealing with such tension needs to be left to moderators, and not individual members. As much as we like to leave the things open to members' consideration, it is clear that certain issues can get out of control quickly, and should not be permitted to happen. On the issue of having deals "reposted" in other forums, please keep in mind the following:
We would like to start a new Kohls thread, call it a "clean slate", and see how it goes from there on. This new thread has:
Also, remember, that you can view resolutions of your modalerts (with comments, if applicable) by clicking this link in case you are wondering what really happened to the issue you alerted us with your modalert. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. *NEW* SlickBlog - we talk to you, you talk to us

At the conclusion of the previous thread, we decided to do the following:
1. New thread with wikipost as the OP. If you need more wiki's let us know and we'll clone another from our bot factory. 2. Appoint a few people to update the first wikipost so that the mod team knows who has more "voice" in case of disputes on the first wikipost edits. 3. If there is a 2nd/3rd/4th wikipost for deals or what not, the group needs to decide what format and information it will contain. Everyone can work as a group to update it. It will be a group decision. 4. If you see that the Kohl's deal that is posted in Hot Deals and it is already posted in the Koh'sl thread, feel free to mod alert it with a link to the post in the Kohl's thread and we'll add a thank you message and a link to the post. 5. If the deal is literally swiped from the Kohl's thread, mod alert it and we'll put the same thank you note & link. We'll let them go if it's the first time. If they continue to do it a 2nd time, we'll warn the person. If it happens 3 times within a month, they'll be prohibited from posting Kohls deals. Feel free to embed your username into the Kohl's links if you think it is necessary. 6. If a person posts a deal in Hot Deals that they find themselves but is already posted in the Kohl's thread, we will not merge it especially if there is a lot of activity in the thread. It is not considered a repost. 7. Please do not accuse people of swiping the deals publicly. Only the mods can make the final determination. 8. Off topic posts are allowed as long as there is a Kohl's deal posted every 100 posts or so. 9. If you find a deal that is exceptional, it is fine to tell fellow Kohlies about it. At minimum link to the deal thread so that discussion can continue there and tell why you're posting it here. Lastly, please leave all animosity behind. Do not argue about the past or we'll hand out warnings. If there are any previous information or posts you'd like me to move here, send me a pm. Remember to checkout SlickFillers for Amazon Fillers.

Winners of seven straight, KC can claim first
Gray aims to foil Royals' chance to take over AL Central lead
Kansas City took two of three in Oakland from Aug. 1-3, and then both franchises got on a roll.
The Royals just swept the Giants at home and have won seven straight, putting them just a half-game back of the division-leading Tigers entering the week. A Kansas City victory tonight and a Detroit loss in Pittsburgh would leave the Royals atop the American League Central. K.C. hasn't been in first this late in the season since 2003, when it led the division as late as Aug. 29.
To get them there, the Royals turn to rookie Yordano Ventura, whose maturation process as a Major League pitcher is an ongoing process.
Take his last start, Wednesday night at Arizona. He clearly didn't have his best stuff but got through six innings and, despite eight hits and a walk, gave up just two runs.
"I didn't have a feel for my breaking ball or my offspeed [pitches], but I kept trying to throw it to try to get in a rhythm with it," Ventura said. "It was just one of those days when I didn't really have a feel for it."
Ventura managed his ninth victory of the season, which ties him for third among Major League rookies.
"He couldn't get his secondary stuff going on a consistent basis," manager Ned Yost said. "They were sitting dead-red fastball and putting good swings on it. But he made big pitches when he had to."
This will be the first time Ventura has faced the Athletics, who, like the Royals, have been playing well, winning five of their last seven. They're countering Ventura with Sonny Gray, who's struggled over his past two starts, losing both while sporting 5.56 ERA. It's only the second time in his two-year career he's taken back-to-back losses.
It's been a season of runs for him, mostly good ones. He went 5-1 with a 1.99 ERA over his first 10 starts, then 2-2 with a 5.50 ERA from May 27-June 28, then 5-1 with a 1.07 ERA from July 3-Aug. 1 (he won American League Pitcher of the Month for July) -- and now this.
In his last start, he gave up career highs in runs (seven, six earned) and hits (10) to the Rays.
"When you put your team in a hole like that, it puts a lot more pressure on the offense and it's harder to climb out of," Gray said. "That's just tough to do, especially when the other team is scoring so many runs early in the game."
He faced Kansas City in Oakland on Aug. 1 and allowed one run in seven innings. That was his only career start vs. the Royals. On the road this season, Gray is 5-1 with a 2.37 ERA and .201 opponents' average.
Royals: Aoki reasserts himself
Right fielder Nori Aoki lost his leadoff spot in the Royals' lineup for a seven-game stretch in July, but he's back on top these days.
Aoki went 2-for-2 with two walks Sunday to run his August on-base percentage to .447 (10 hits, six walks, and one hit-by-pitch in 38 plate appearances) in 10 games.
When he beat out a grounder to shortstop in the first inning Sunday, it was his 16th infield hit this season, including six safe bunts. His 90 infield hits since the start of 2012, when he joined the Brewers, is the most in the Majors.
And on Friday night against the Giants, he had two assists from right field in one inning. He was only the third outfielder in franchise history to do that, joining Bob Oliver in 1969 and Amos Otis in 1970.
On top of all that, Aoki got his first career grand slam last Tuesday night at Arizona; the blast also doubled as his first homer this season.
Athletics: Lowrie expected to return
Shortstop Jed Lowrie was out of the A's lineup Sunday for the series finale against Minnesota, with manager Bob Melvin giving him a day to rest his bruised right index finger.
Lowrie was at shortstop Friday and Saturday after going three straight games without playing the field.
"I had planned to play him two and give him one off anyway," Melvin said Sunday. "At this point in time, when you play, it really doesn't get any better.
"He's good enough to play, but it has been bothering him some, so if we give him a day off, hopefully we gain a little ground with it come tomorrow."
Lowrie has kept his finger wrapped and is 1-for-9 with a triple since sustaining the injury.
Worth noting
• Superfan SungWoo Lee, whose legend has grown as the story of his Royals loyalty has spread, will throw out the first pitch at Kauffman Stadium before the game.
Lee, from Seoul, South Korea, has been following the team since the 1990s -- waking up in the middle of the night to watch games. He received a glove from Royals broadcaster Jeff Montgomery on Sunday, eliciting a priceless on-air reaction.
• Yost and Melvin will resume their battle for victories in this series. Yost reached the 800-win mark last Tuesday and now has 804. Melvin had 802 entering Sunday's game against Minnesota.
• The A's lead the Majors with 11 wins when trailing after seven innings and six wins when trailing after eight.

Balancing the Scorecard
Posted on Jun 22, 2010
Our department prepares a balanced scorecard on a monthly basis to track metrics important to our team. We arrange the scorecard into four quadrants: Stakeholders, Controls, People, and Department. Under "Stakeholders," we track progress against our audit plan (audits in process, reports issued, audit and reporting life cycles). We track our audit ratings and testing exception rates under the "Controls" quadrant. For "People," we track utilization rates (actual vs. planned) and total hours incurred vs. planned. Our "Department" quadrant tracks our department's actual spending vs. budget/forecast. Although pretty basic, this scorecard has been helpful in keeping my department's management team focused on getting through an ambitious audit plan.

The meeting topic last night was about forgiving ourselves and oh boy did I want to get up and leave as soon as the topic came up, but I sat there anyway. I did share that, so far, I haven't read anything in the BB about me forgiving me. That, for me, I feel like that's a form of self pity and keeps me focusing on me. The BB DOES teach me to become dependent on God, clear away the wreckage of my past and help another alkie whenever possible.
Then last night I wondered if I just don't have enough tolerance? Please share your experience with me.

Try to understand this story. Buddha came one morning, and as usual a crowd had gathered, many people were waiting to listen to him. But one thing was unusual: he was carrying a flower in his hand. Never before had he carried anything in his hand. People thought that somebody may have presented it to him. Buddha came, he sat under the tree. The crowd waited and waited and waited and he would not speak. He wouldn't even look at them, he just went on looking at the flower. Minutes passed, then hours, and the people became very restless.
It is said that Mahakashyapa couldn't contain himself; he laughed loudly. Buddha called him, gave him the flower and said to the gathered crowd, "Whatsoever can be said through words I have said to you, and that which cannot be said through words I give to Mahakashyapa. The key cannot be communicated verbally. I hand over the key to Mahakashyapa."
This is what Zen masters call transference of the key without scripture - beyond scripture, beyond words, beyond mind. He gave the flower to Mahakashyapa. Nobody could understand what had happened. Neither Mahakashyapa nor Buddha ever commented upon it again. The whole chapter was closed. Since then, in China, in Tibet, in Thailand, in Burma, in Japan, in Ceylon - everywhere Buddhists have been asking for these twenty-five centuries, "What was given to Mahakashyapa? What was the key?"
The whole story seems to be very esoteric. Buddha is not secretive; this is the only incident.. Buddha is a very rational being. He talks rationally, he is not a mad ecstatic. He argues rationally, and his argument, his logic is perfect - you cannot find a loophole in it. This is the only incident where he behaved illogically, where he did something which is mysterious. He is not a mysterious man at all. You cannot find another master who is less mysterious.
Jesus is very mysterious, Lao Tzu is absolutely mysterious. Buddha is plain, transparent; no mystery around him, no smoke is allowed. His flame burns clear and bright, clear and absolutely transparent, smokeless. This is the only thing that seems mysterious; hence many Buddhist scriptures never relate this anecdote, they have simply dropped it. It seems as if someone has invented it. It doesn't make any sense with Buddha's life and attitude.
But for Zen this is the origin. Mahakashyapa became the first holder of the key. Then six holders in succession existed in India, up to Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma was the sixth holder of the key, and then he searched and searched all over India but he couldn't find a man of the capability of Mahakashyapa - a man who could understand silence. He had to leave India just in search of a man to whom the key could be given; otherwise the key would be lost.
Buddhism entered China with Bodhidharma in search of a man to whom the key could be given, a man who could understand silence, who could talk heart to heart without being obsessed in the mind, who had no head. A man with no head was difficult to find in India, because India is a country of pundits, scholars, and they have the biggest heads possible. A pundit by and by forgets everything about the heart and he becomes the head. His whole personality becomes lopsided as if only the head exists, and the whole body shrinks and disappears.

French Socialist Party former first secretary and candidate for the party's primary elections for the 2012 presidential election Francois Hollande gestures after delivering a speech.

"The Hollande effect"
Op-Ed, The Boston Globe
May 10, 2012
Author: Nicholas Burns, Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Politics, Harvard Kennedy School
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: The Future of Diplomacy Project
Francois Hollandes dramatic victory in Sundays French presidential election could turn out to be one of this years most significant turning points for both Europe and the United States. France matters in the world, especially on some of the most important international challenges the euro zone crisis, Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria. It belongs to all the right clubs as a UN Security Council permanent member, a nuclear weapons power, owner of one of the worlds most capable militaries, and an influential force in Africa and the Middle East. Only the second Socialist to gain the French presidency since World War II, Hollande managed a brilliant electoral victory that may not amount to an earthquake but has global leaders wondering how he may redirect French policy on critical issues.
The impact will be most profound in Europe, where France and Germany have co-directed the affairs of the continent for decades. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Hollandes predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, formed an unlikely but effective duo who forced the European Union to accept a bitter regimen of austerity as the Greek debt drama evolved into a full-blown European economic crisis during the past two years.
Hollandes principal campaign promise was to reverse French and European policy and turn to an FDR-like stimulus package to promote state-led spending and employment programs for Frances massive number of unemployed. One of the reasons the European Union has barely skated through the crisis is because Merkel and Sarkozy stood together to face down their many critics. If Hollande now challenges German leadership on this core issue, however correct he may be, it could open up an ideological rift at the heart of the EU at the very moment it seeks to climb out of a deep recession.
Hollandes victory is also consequential for the United States. Sarkozy was the most pro-American French leader in 70 years. He transformed France from a diffident and sometimes troublesome American ally into one of our strongest and most reliable friends in the world. Washington is now asking if Hollande will reverse French policy on three important American priorities Iran, Afghanistan, and NATO.
Ironically, France under Sarkozy had become the toughest opponent of Irans evolving nuclear program more unyielding than even Barack Obama or George W. Bush. Now that the nuclear talks with Iran are underway, the United States is relying on France to help sanction and pressure Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions. Should Hollande adopt a less aggressive course, it could open the door to Russia and China to weaken Western pressure and possibly let Iran off the hook.
Afghanistan is another leading issue where a Hollande government may make a critical difference. Hollande promised during the campaign to bring all French troops home by the end of this year. The United States and NATO, however, decided that all forces would stay until 2014 a critical source of leverage in convincing the Taliban to negotiate seriously with the Afghan government to end the war. If France bolts ahead of the NATO allies, it will cause a crisis at the US-hosted NATO summit in Chicago in two weeks during Hollandes inaugural presidential trip to the United States.
Hollandes most interesting early decision may involve a NATO issue from the past. Sarkozy reversed 40 years of French policy by returning France to NATOs Integrated Military Command. This was a big deal for NATO, still the most important American military alliance worldwide. Frances return ended decades of sniping between the United States and France over the American role in Europe. Hollandes Socialist Party strongly opposed Sarkozy on this decision and has questioned NATOs missile defense plans for Europe. Will Hollande emulate Charles de Gaulle by reasserting French independence and reducing Frances support at NATO?
Hollandes ascendancy has sparked a major European debate over the wisdom of continued austerity versus stimulus. Which will provide the fastest road to recovery? Along with renewed political chaos in Greece following its inconclusive election this weekend, European stability is once more in question. Hollande may turn out to be just what Europe needs a new voice with fresh ideas to spark an economic revival. Whatever his impact, Americans shouldnt be disinterested spectators. What happens in Europe our largest trade partner and investor and home to our most important alliance really matters to us. That is one reason why Francois Hollandes victory is so important to our side of the Atlantic.
