Having finally got to the bottom of a problem which has not been helped by faulty new parts. I have been rescued by a completely helpfull individual named Pete at www.blackbirdspares.c.uk He could not have more of a friend to me, servicing with supervision, very neat prices on genuine parts, fantastic. If you have problems, then contact him. you will be delighted. Good luck Pete and thanks mate.
Anyone using this? I am looking for a topbox mounting system that involves the least amount of bars/connectors mounting the bike. This seems like it could do the job by just replacing the grabrail. Anyone using this product on their 'bird and got any close-up piccies they could email me- firstname.lastname@example.com and whilst we're talking luggage- just found this: http://www.honda.co.uk/news/motorcycles/20050322.html about time honda made an effort in this area! anyone got these yet? any good? if so any close-ups of the luggage and frame would be sweet. Thanks
Can anyone recommend bar risers for the Blackbird. I am told that the VFR risers fit but I assume that the clutch and brake pipes need replacing/lengthening as mine are quite tight with stock bars? I have seen some bar risers on the net that raise the bars by 28mm but again, I am assuming that the pipes will be too short!
Hi, I am looking to buy a '01 or '02 Bbird and was just wondering if there were any weak points to watch out for. I know it's the best out there but has anyone had anything go wrong on them. Also, is there a dedicated Blackbird owners site for the UK. I will be travelling from Ireland to buy and want to get all the info before I go.
just bought a double bubble screen for the bird. when fitted it looks like a barn door. straight up. i have seen lower ones on bikes that look a lot better than mine. can anyone tell me the make and where i can get one from.....
I lube the chain on my 'Bird pretty regularly (as you do), but don't overdo it. But I'm finding black gunge oozing out around top of the side-stand. Guy at my local Honda dealers said 'all Blackbirds do it'. Anyone else have the same messy problem?
Just seen a blackbird with the XX illumunated in leds on the rear light anybody know where to buy these from?? Are they legal.

Maite from fort lauderdale, FL– Verified Buyer
Love it. Easy to put together. Legs looks like real wood
Maria from Miami, FL– Verified Buyer
I got excellent service ordering. The shipping time was quick, as my order left that day. The stools are a quality product. I highly recommend.
Kristina Beserra from Torrance, CA– Verified Buyer
I am a heafty woman and these are wonderful! Nice and sturdy and comfy round seat! Definitely worth the money you van't go wrong with these stools.
Difficult assembly
Doodles from Orlando, FL– Verified Buyer
Contrary to other reviews I have seen, I think seniors and some women may have a difficult time assembling these stools; an electric screwdriver would be a plus. It took me 2 hours to put three of them together...without an electric screwdriver. Once assembled, the product is pretty much as advertised although the vinyl on the seat is a bit thin, and the legs are metal painted to look like wood.
great product for a great price
party all the time! from fontana, ca– Verified Buyer
great looking well made product.
Classy bar stool
ajcreek from Flagstaff, AZ
Pretty easy to put to gether. Very nice looking and sturdy. Would have liked to have a choice of seat color.
Exceeded Expectations
The "Glass Queen" from Plympton, MA
Just received 4 of these stools for my new kitchen island, and they're of EXCEPTIONAL quality. I'm especially pleased at the solid construction; these babies will take on tall or "plus sized" people easily and comfortably. They also blend beautifully with my dark cabinets, chrome fixtures, and appliances. Worth every penny!
here's the low down
ken from northern NJ
I too thought the legs were wood but they are metal painted to look like wood. They are very wide. Cushion is 16 1/2 inches wide. Make sure you want that size. Although sold as being 31 inches high, mine are only 29 3/4 high to top of cushion. The swivel is a little tight but I imagine they will loosen up with time. Comfortable, sturdy and of good quality
Very nice bar stool!
Rob-in-PSL from Sunny Florida
I purchased three of these stools to match our contempory kitchen that has stainless steel appliances and chrome kitchen cabinet pulls. The stools were very easy to assemble. I thought the legs were supposed to be made of wood, but they are metal that "look" like wood. They are level and sturdy. The seat swivels easily. [...] the price was right too!

What's Your Opinion?

The signature aromas in this vintage are a fragrant mixture of tropical pineapple, tapioca pudding, and floral — gardenia and honeysuckle.
There is bright, crisp acidity with overtones of Meyer lemon and also a creamy mouthfeel.
A note of hazelnut and spice harmonizes well with the toasty oak and lengthens the elegant finish.
The Organic Don Miguel Vineyard Named after the late patriarch of the Torres family, this organic vineyard is located in the Green Valley — the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River, only ten miles from the Pacific. The European-style high density of over 2,000 vines per acre provides low yields and requires intensive labor; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire greater concentration and finesse, more elegant aromas, and better balance.

By Julie Straw - bio | email | twitter
HINDS COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - A former Hinds County employee claims he was passed over for a promotion because of his race. Now he is suing the Board of Supervisors for civil rights violations.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court. In it, Ricky Moore claimed he was not promoted to Hinds County Emergency Management Director by the Board of Supervisors because he is white. Supervisor George Smith, who was board president at the time, calls the allegations completely false.
"Just because he was not hired. I had a lot of respect, but to make those allegations, erroneous allegations," said Smith.
It all began when EOC Director Larry Fisher announced his retirement in October 2009 and recommended his assistant of 20 years, Moore, for the job.
Shortly after that, the lawsuit claimed an unnamed board member told an unnamed Hinds employee that Moore would not be promoted because of his race. Then the job qualifications suddenly changed. According to the lawsuit, employment in a supervisory position could be a substitute to a college education, but that changed to a minimum requirement of a 4 year degree. Moore has a high school diploma.
"No way under the sun that we would make a change in the middle of the stream like that," said Smith.
In a four to one vote the supervisors confirmed Jimmie Lewis, an African American who was the Director for Permit and Zoning. The single vote for Moore came from the only white member of the board, Phil Fisher.
"When you bring someone in from a different department that has not been in the field for many years and you pass up somebody who has been in the EOC field and is well respected, I think it tells everyone else working in the county, you don't have much of a chance," said Fisher.
Moore's attorney, Dale Danks, told WLBT it is too early to comment on the lawsuit.

Bummed Brain MacDevitt didn't win Tony #6 tonight, but Jeff Croiter's design for "Peter And the Starcatcher" looks fucking fantastic. Dramatic and playful, no wonder that show has been a broadway darling this season. It makes plenty of sense for the Tony's to choose that over "Death of A Salesman." I'm sure it didn't have enough spectacle for their taste. In any case, I need to see "Peter and the Starcatcher" ASAP and it's still really cool to have worked with Brian.

U of S Scientists Awarded $3.4 Million to Help Farmers Reduce Agricultural Greenhouse Gases
|From top: Warren Helgason: optimizing irrigation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; Ken Van Rees: the role of shelter belt trees and shrubs in sequestering carbon; Dan Pennock: managing forage crops to minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
Three University of Saskatchewan projects have been awarded more than $3.4 million over the next five years from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) for research that will help farmers reduce greenhouse gas emissions through improved use of shelterbelts, irrigation and forage production.
"Our government's top priority remains the economy, and Canada's agricultural industry plays a vital role in keeping our economy strong," said federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. "Farmers are good stewards of the land, but farming is always changing and environmental practices need to keep pace with that change. The work being done by the University of Saskatchewan is a great way to help farmers and the environment."
Funding for the three U of S projects comes from AAFC's Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program (AGGP). Together, they will create jobs for about 10 graduate students, plus about a dozen summer student positions.
"As our world's population grows, farmers face an increasing challenge to feed everyone adequately, safely and sustainably," said Karen Chad, U of S vice-president of research. "Knowledge created by this research in one of our signature areas will help farmers as they strive to produce more food while safeguarding the environment."
Agriculture: Food and Bioproducts for a Sustainable Future is one of six signature areas of research identified by the U of S. The three funded projects are:
Warren Helgason, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, is identifying how irrigation and fertilizer use influence emissions of nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas released from fertilizer, fossil fuels, and livestock manure. Irrigated lands can potentially sequester or "lock up" more carbon than non-irrigated land, potentially reducing levels of carbon dioxide – another greenhouse gas. But irrigated land typically requires more energy for pumping water, more tillage and more fertilizer, which can result in more greenhouse gas emissions if not properly managed. Helgason will provide recommendations designed to help producers reduce nitrous oxide emissions by improving irrigation water management.
Dan Pennock, professor of soil science, together with colleagues Rich Farrell and Fran Walley, is developing new management options for Prairie farmers that balance the need for increased production with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Part of the study will provide estimates of greenhouse gas emissions associated with forage seed production and look at ways to minimize them. Pennock's team will also develop practical sampling methods to measure greenhouse gas emissions in the field that will help researchers decide how to invest their limited resources.
Ken Van Rees, director of the U of S Centre for Northern Agroforestry and Afforestation, is examining new strategies and shelterbelt designs to maximize benefits to farmers and the environment. He is looking for the most effective ways to sequester carbon using shelterbelts – the rows of trees and shrubs on farmland that provide shelter from wind and protect soil from erosion. For example, Van Rees is examining how various tree species lock up carbon both above and below ground, and how they perform in various soil zones. This project will provide farmers with improved understanding of the value of shelterbelts in farming and reducing greenhouse gases.
Launched in 2011, the AGGP is a five-year, $27-million AAFC initiative focused on developing on-farm greenhouse gas mitigation technologies across Canada. The program is part of Canada's commitment as one of the two founding members of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases – an international network of more than 30 member countries devoted to collaboration in agricultural research on greenhouse gas mitigation and beneficial management practices for farmers.

Does a salted caramel iced coffee sound good to you right now? How about a soda or an energy drink to get through the rest of the day? Craving salt, sweets and relying on stimulants to get through the day or night are socially reinforced by product marketing but these are early warning signs of a dangerous chemical imbalance and while a shot of sugar, caffeine or something stronger may perk you up, these quick fixes are actually making things much worse.

Morning dew covered my filthy rental-car windshield as I rolled out of the parking lot with the most recent object of America's obsession as my passenger. He exuded eccentricity and a heavy scent of lotion. (No surprise there.)
"Say, boy, got any SHPRAA!?!" [Ross Perot] shouted. I couldn't understand him. "SHPRAA!" he repeated, unhelpfully. "Got any?"
What the hell was this pint-sized politician yelling at me about at 5 a.m.? I told him I still didn't understand. "The wipers! You need SHPRAA! Clean 'em, kid! Use your SHPRAA!"
He wanted me to clean the damn windows with the wiper spray. I did, and he visibly calmed. Then the ride turned into the Ross Perot Show. I barely had to ask him a question before his conversational autopilot kicked in and then there was no shutting him up. He told me he'd run into Michael Jackson in the Bahamas. Jackson apparenty said, "You wouldn't remember me, but we met a few years ago." Perot though that was hilarious. "HOW am I gonna FORGIT Michael Jackson?! Now, later that day, I took him motorboating with that kid he's always with—the Home Alone kid. Nice kid!" (Okay, so Ross Perot, Michael Jackson, and Macaulay Culkin are motorboating in the Bahamas. Is that not the beginning of a joke? Or the end?)

WASHINGTON (AP) — A D.C. man has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for killing a taxi cab driver during a robbery in northeast Washington.
Twenty-three-year-old Rashad Slye was sentenced Friday by a federal judge in Washington. Slye had previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of 40-year-old Domingo Ezirike.
According to the government's evidence, on Oct. 22, 2011, Ezirike picked up Slye in Landover, Md. Prosecutors say after Ezirike drove Slye to his destination on Ponds Street N.E., the two argued over the fare.
Authorities say Slye pulled out a handgun, searched Ezirike and his cab for money, and shot the driver before running away.

PlantTherapy: Natural Pest Control
I think Regina and I are on the same wavelength. I noticed these three recipes from the June/July 2008 Organic Gardening issue and wanted to pass them along to readers. Great for a small patio or backyard garden - and hot peppers are a big part of them.
Yes, the recipes are stinky - and you will have to put aside some time to prepare and make them. But a little time investment now and you could make a spray that can be used all season, keeps the bugs/pests away and is not harmful to your health...
Natural insect spray recipes from Organic Gardening Magazine:
Recipe 1:
Ingredients:1 garlic bulb, 1 small onion, 1tsp powdered cayenne, 1 qt. water, 1 tbsp liquid dish soap How-to: Chop, steep in water for an hour, strain and add dish soap and mix well. Store remainder in the fridge in a jar. Good for: Works especially well on slugs and Japanese beetles.
Recipe 2:
Ingredients:1/2 cup hot peppers 2 cups water How-to: Puree the peppers and water and strain. Good for: Repels insects and cats/dogs, apply every 5-7 days.
Recipe 3:
Ingredients: 1-2 cups tomato leaves (from bottom of stems of plants to not interfere with tomato production), 4 cups water How-to: mash/chop leaves and let leaves steep overnight in 2 cups water. Strain leaves and add another 2 cups water. Good for: alkaloids found in tomato leaves are toxic to soft-bodies insects like aphids
The author advises to test the spray first on a leaf to make sure it is not too strong for the plant. If the leaf looks fine after a day then it's safe to spray away. I used a version of the first one last year and it worked like a charm to keep bugs off the plants, just had to make sure to keep it off my own hands.
These recipes are adapted by OG Magazine from The Frugal Gardener: How to Have More Garden for Less Money, by Catrinoe Tudor Erler.
OG Online also has a directory of pests with helpful information to rid them from your plants right here.

I am going to put this photo of the RHC around my garden. I prefer a rockin pesticide alternative.
One note of warning: In trying to keep squirrels off my tomatoes last year I sprayed them daily with diluted Tabasco, so I strongly recommend turning your head before you spray anything with hot peppers or cayenne. One inadvertent inhalation (of even the smallest amount of mist) will leave you coughing up a storm.
I have a new desktop background now, thanks for that photo.
I like the Chili Pepper with the dynamite in his mouth. He's a cute pepper!
Weasel Dearest is Mr. Dangerous
what an arresting photo
I wanted to mention that straining is really important, otherwise your spray nozzle gets clogged. Then things get messy. You really just want a liquid to spray on. I can also attest to what Shelter Life Alex mentioned - be careful of the wind!
I just couldn't resist using this picture...thanks for indulging me.

The FAA has granted FAA-PMA approval to the new Hartzell Engine Technologies ALV-9610 100-amp alternator for Continental -470, -520 and -550 piston engines, which replaces the original Crittendon and ALV-9510 units. The new alternator weighs 12.75 pounds, saving up to 9.25 pounds per alternator, and features a compact design with integral noise filtering. Cost of the ALV-9610 is $1,100, with a $425 core charge and two-year warranty.
English inventions
French turbine-engine manufacturer Price Induction is about to embark on European certification of its DGEN 380 general aviation turbofan. An example of the engine, claimed to be the smallest such powerplant available, is being exhibited on the company's stand (Hall 3 E30).
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the Eclipse EA-500 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines. The existing AD requires operators to limit their maximum operating altitude to 37,000 feet. The new AD would restrict maximum operating altitude to 30,000 feet.
Eurocopter might exhibit a hybrid helicopter, using both piston engines and electric motors like a hybrid car, by Heli-Expo 2020. Parent company EADS last year unveiled a helicopter concept that could burn 50 percent less fuel than its traditional equivalent. EADS Innovation Works is devising a way to combine diesel engines, generators, batteries and electric motors.
Chromalloy is offering a new thermal barrier coating it claims enhances the performance of gas turbine engines. "The RT-35 Low K coating provides lower thermal conductivity, which allows higher engine temperatures. Engines produce greater thrust when operating at higher temperatures and they can operate on the same amount of fuel as powerplants that operate at lower temperatures," said Dr.
Turbofan manufacturers are developing cleaner, quieter and more environmentally friendly engines that will meet current and future regulatory requirements. That fact should come as no surprise, since they have been doing this all along as the natural byproduct of efforts to build more fuel-efficient and quieter turbofans for a market that demands nothing less.
The FAA awarded five contracts worth a total of $125 million over five years to engine manufacturers and Boeing to "develop and demonstrate technologies that will reduce commercial jet fuel consumption, emissions and noise." The research is intended to accelerate introduction of green technology in the FAA's Next Generation air traffic modernization program as part of the agency's continuous lower energy, emissions and noise (Cleen) program.
Anthony Mosallam and Jonathon Deming, students at the Flabob Airport Preparatory Academy in Riverside, Calif., designed and built a turbine engine for their high school's annual science fair. The engine was made from auto parts and a leaf blower, which was used to provide air to start the engine. A Buick Regal turbocharger was used as the compressor, and propane powers the engine.
The GE Honda joint venture last Thursday fired up the first conforming version of its new 2,095-lb-thrust HF120 engine currently slated for certification in 2011. Initial engine tests are typically completed in a sea-level test cell, with high-altitude performance testing conducted onboard an aircraft.
General Electric's Unison Industries subsidiary has sold its Aircraft Parts Corporation (APC) business unit to TransDigm Group for approximately $68 million in cash. APC, a 50-year-old company based in Holtsville, N.Y., manufactures turbine-engine starter generators, generator control units and related components for Cessna Citations, Bombardier Learjets and Bell and Agusta helicopters.

It's certainly no secret that more and more business is being conducted online each day. Consumers expect products and services to be instantly available, comparable and configurable to meet their needs online. The Web provides consumers with the instant results and fulfillment they demand from their shopping experience. But e-commerce is not strictly for B2C purchases; B2B customers have come to expect the same speed and simplicity associated with buying online.
While B2B e-commerce isn't a new concept, its adoption rate has lagged. Many organizations could benefit greatly from adoption of a B2B e-commerce platform and BigMachines has identified a few tips to consider before doing so.

Setbacks Only Slow Progress, They Don't Stop It
Looking back on my life, I have faced many challenges and setbacks that have only strengthened my resolve for personal growth. It is perseverance -- despite weakness -- which has made me strong.
I am back on deployment again, and my ship has set sail for South America and the Caribbean. For the last three weeks, I have slowly been getting back in the swing of things back at sea. Other than a minor ADHD setback I had last night, things have been going really well. I have worked hard and have been able to get a lot done. Since...

You Can't Change Me! (But Maybe I Could)
After only recently coming to terms with ADHD itself, it's time I came to terms with how my ADHD is affecting my relationship.
If I were to tell you that things were going great with my Spanish girlfriend of 10 months, it would be a lie. If I were to tell you that we have our ups and downs, I would be getting closer to the truth. And if I were to say that when things are good, they are great and when things are bad, they are really...

China at a Glance
Working in China
Even after the global economic recession of the past few years, China's economy seems to remain on the road to success. In 2010, China overtook its rival Japan to become the second biggest economy in the world. The labor force working in China then generated an estimated quarterly gross domestic product of a spectacular 1.33 trillion dollars.
Recent figures show that growth has slowed down somewhat. But with an annual GDP increase of over 7% in 2012, it's still comparatively high.
Although the general population working in China isn't unaffected by the various economic crises, this does not necessarily impact highly skilled employees, middle managers, and executives working in China. The unemployment rates apply especially to rural areas as well as seasonal migrant laborers in the cities.
Visa Requirements
If you consider going to China for work, you should have a carefully thought-out plan and down-to-earth expectations. Although working in China is far easier than it used to be, to qualify for an employment visa (Z visa), you need to fulfill several requirements. You must obtain an official invitation to the country, together with an employment license or special status as a "Foreign Expert".
Some expats who dream of working in China might try to enter the country with an L visa for tourists or an F visa for business trips and attempt to start work within 30 to 180 days. Do not try this! First of all, there is no guarantee that you'll find a job soon. The longer you stay without working in China, the greater your need for a financial cushion.
And what is most important, even if you do find work within that period, you have to leave the country and apply for a proper work visa before you can return to start your job. Don't take up gainful employment with anything but a Z visa. Chinese government bureaucracy isn't known for its leniency in such matters.
Professional Qualifications
Unless you are feeling particularly adventurous or foolish, the most conventional way of working in China is actually the best. Start looking for a job in an FIE (a Foreign-Invested Enterprise) where the vast majority of expatriates are employed. Try to be patient and build up a network of contacts to help you find a suitable position. Contacts are essential for job hunting and working in China.
With qualifications and professional experience in manufacturing, engineering, medical or environmental technology, production, product and quality management, you possess valuable "hard skills" for working in China. Some highly-qualified expatriates may be offered a job in a Chinese company, for instance, in the high-tech sector. However, this usually requires a decent knowledge of Mandarin. Chinese language skills will always give you a certain competitive edge for working in China.
Expat Assignments
Traditional expat assignments used to be typical for foreigners working in China. For example, Siemens Ltd might send a couple of engineers with experience of working in the railroad construction industry to supervise the development of new high-speed trains for the Beijing-Tianjin line. These highly-qualified employees would then stay in China in the role of project managers for one or two years.
However, these assignments are gradually being replaced by so-called "flexpats". Foreign employees working in China are often hired without the usual perks and expat packages to more or less local conditions. They sign their contract direct with a Chinese company.

text: Over the past several decades contemporary art has become a genuinely global affair. The borders of the art world have expanded, and the myriad forms of expression comprising contemporary artistic practice have been widely embraced around the globe, moving far beyond established international art capitals such as Paris, London, and New York. In fact, it could be argued that much of today's most energetic and innovative artwork is being made outside the traditional art circuit. With the rapid creation of new markets in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and with the equally rapid establishment of contemporary art organizations, festivals, and biennials in regions that were once considered "peripheral," the validity of the timeworn divide between center and periphery has become increasingly difficult to quantify. The most spectacular face of the new globalization can be found in the recent boom in museum construction throughout the non-Western world, especially in Asia, home of the new economic superpowers. In effect, a kind of unquestioned, or unquestionable, consensus about the virtue of this "museum fever" has emerged. In developing regions that wish to demonstrate their openness toward social progress, innovation, and the creation of a brighter future, the establishment of contemporary art museums is considered a necessity by the art community, the general public, and political and economic authorities. The business sector in particular has come to value the development of cultural organizations as both a good investment and an opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to "social responsibility." We see this reflected in the construction of a cluster of "world-class" museums on Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Island, including the Zayed National Museum as well as outposts of the Louvre and the Guggenheim. Singapore's new National Art Gallery, at close to fifteen acres in size, is scheduled to open in 2015, and Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District, which boasts more than a dozen art and culture facilities, will soon be home to the world's largest contemporary art museum, M+, also projected to open in 2015. An unprecedented number of museums are currently in the planning stages or under construction across China.2 Much of this activity—including Beijing's Today Art Museum and Shanghai's Minsheng Art Museum, Rockbund Art Museum, and Zendai Museum of Modern Art, all of which opened in the first decade of the twenty-first century—is sponsored by Chinese corporations; like their Japanese and Korean counterparts a decade ago, Chinese business groups have come to appreciate the political benefits of cultivating ambitious cultural projects. The Chinese government likewise recognizes the importance of building "soft power" through the development of art and culture. Plans for a national museum of contemporary art are underway in Beijing, and the Shanghai Contemporary Art Museum is under construction, with its opening (National Day, October 1) scheduled to coincide with that of the 9th Shanghai Biennale in 2012. Located in the converted power plant that was the site of the 2010 World Expo's Pavilion of the Future, this new museum resembles a larger version of London's Tate Modern and is part of the local government's effort to ensure that all Shanghai residents will soon have a museum or other cultural venue within a fifteenminute walk from their homes.3 Most of these new museums have more or less been modeled on existing Western institutions. But such endeavors do not always translate smoothly to developing regions, where they can be undermined by inadequate planning and insufficient long-term financial support, as well as an absence of expertise and curatorial vision. Faced with such challenging circumstances, even the most enthusiastically conceived projects can be jeopardized by unforeseen crises (one thinks of the 2008 earthquake in China, where poor construction practices and shoddy building materials led to an extremely high death toll and widespread devastation). In addition, many of these projects are based on a relationship to the market system that is drawn from the entertainment 277. Shanghai 2010 World Expo site under construction in January 2010, 108 days before the opening industry (rather than the cultural field) and therefore 208 209 encourages the spectacularization of artistic production. Obviously, this trend has evolved hand in hand with the logic of neoliberal capitalism—evidenced in the art market's domination of both the regional and global art scenes. Increasingly, artistic and cultural projects that take a critical and emancipatory approach and attempt to resist the new oligarchy and its cultural alliances are emptied of real political substance and neutralized through the process of commodification. At the same time, the fervent embrace of iconic architecture (which often translates into museums that are oversize and extravagantly grotesque) and the inflexible replication of the conventions of Western artistic modernism (such as "white cube" gallery spaces) have a devastating tendency to undermine the most inventive and original aspects of local cultural and creative energy. The incongruities created by structuring a contemporary art scene around an armature of outdated institutional conventions are inevitable and not limited to the East. Contemporary art is universally the product of intense negotiations between a true multitude of expressions, and it reflects a variety of singular interpretations of local contexts that are necessarily complex, improvisational, and open to continuous change. New institutional models are needed. The search for alternatives in Asia began more than a decade ago, when art institutions established in Japan and Korea revealed flaws in the prevailing system. A great number of self-organized, artist-run spaces were formed when the members of nascent contemporary art communities—known for their emphasis on artistic and social experimentation—found that their activities could not be accommodated by traditional venues. The major museums in these areas (if they existed at all) have, for one reason or another, not been effective in responding to the vital transformative impulse of these smaller, more innovative grassroots efforts. As a result, many artists collectively turned away from these institutions, founding independent spaces where they manifest their creative commitment by developing various strategies of occupation. These spaces quasi systematically thrive on everyday life; they have to adapt rapidly and efficiently in the face of urban expansion and economic growth, processes that are often rife with the inherent tensions of attempting to envision a better future and the inevitable social conflicts that impede the possibility of positive change. Indeed, it is important to recognize that an almost tangible desire to be engaged socially and politically is the raison d'être for many artists in these countries to act as "contemporary" and "avant-garde" agents. Many such efforts could be compared to what Hakim Bey identified as a Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ).4 They take over the urban center and form "a certain kind of 'free enclave' resisting against the mainstream, state power structure" (here I would add big corporations, too). Their actions are "an essay ('attempt'), a suggestion, almost a poetic fancy" that encourages "uprising," or "insurrection," against state (and corporate) power; they are situated beyond all established forms of organization. According to Bey, "The TAZ is like an uprising which does not engage directly with the State, a guerrilla operation which liberates an area (of land, of time, of imagination) and then dissolves itself to re-form elsewhere/elsewhen, before the State can crush it." It is invisible, always shifting, "a microcosm of that 'anarchist dream' of a free culture." Moreover, the TAZ "is an encampment of guerrilla ontologists: strike and run away." It has a "temporary but actual location in time and a temporary but actual location in space. But clearly it must also have 'location' in the Web … ." In the end, "The TAZ is somewhere. It lies at the intersection of many forces, like some pagan power-spot at the junction of Hou Gestures of Love, or L'insurrection qui vient? 278. Arrow Factory, 38 Jianchang Hutong, Beijing, 2009.

Courtesy Arrow Factory210 211 mysterious ley-lines, visible to the adept in seemingly unrelated bits of terrain, landscape, flows of air, water, animals." It can bring about ultimate liberation "on the condition that we already know ourselves as free beings."5 Such zones of resistance open platforms for experimental, critical, and transgressive expression in the face of chaotic and increasingly oppressive social realities. They also bring about new visions of social organization that deconstruct and even destroy the established centrality of the institutional system, proposing new forms of social production based on a continuous renegotiation of relations between independent actions and institutions, between periphery and center, between a static boundary and open space. These spaces encourage a limitless approach to creation that puts productivity and process at the very heart of the generation of culture. In other words, alternative models like TAZ present a fundamental challenge to the static institutional systems that have dominated the production and display of art.6 They compel us to redefine the concept of the contemporary in relation to social engagement, and they manifest the real singularities of artistic production in different regions at a time when contemporary art is proliferating in new cultural centers across the world.7 Above all, alternative structural and cultural models make it clear that the globalization of contemporary art does not have to mean the distribution of a single institutional infrastructure or the widespread adoption of a homogenizing representational system. Instead, the art world and its networks should foster experimental processes for imagining and inventing paradigms that honor and emphasize the many possible ways of defining and constructing contemporaneity. The organization of biennials, for example, offers an ideal means of regularly testing and examining new approaches to the presentation of contemporary art. I have advocated such explorations in my own curatorial practice. As a co-curator of the 4th Gwangju Biennale in 20028 I worked to assemble representatives from more than twenty artist-run spaces—including Cemeti Art House in Yogyakarta, Videotage and Para/Site in Hong Kong, Borges Libreria in Guangzhou, IT Park in Taipei, Plastic Kinetic Worms in Singapore, and Pool in Seoul—with the aim of forming transregional and transcontinental connections that would create a basis for future long-term collaborations. This initiative was intended to build an independent network representing the originality and diversity of contemporary art in Asia, one that would provide a new infrastructure for truly experimental activities reflecting the various definitions of art and its social functions in different parts of the world. It aimed to reveal, rather than flatten, the differences and multiplicity that lie at the heart of the global art system. In essence, it was also a gesture toward claiming a new "glocality" in the face of the hegemonic model of the "global museum."9 2 During the past ten years, the contemporary art scene has experienced a major structural transformation. The market is usurping biennial culture to become the center of focus: art fairs, which emphasize sales as much as creative expression, are the new gathering points for the global art community. More and more, museums and other cultural institutions are finding themselves at the mercy of market forces, while artistic production itself increasingly resembles a commodity industry. In the case of Asia and similar emerging economic powers on the front lines of this mutation, it is particularly apparent that the status, function, and conditions of survival of independent art organizations are more threatened than ever, yet it is equally clear that they have never been more necessary as a force of critical resistance. In this era of market dominance, the privatization of urban space and the retreat—and even disappearance—of the public sphere is a real threat that we must face. This is a matter of particular urgency for the art world. The transformation of the urban landscape—driven by aggressive gentrification and ambitious real estate development—is uprooting the very terrain for art's social engagement and contributing to the dismantling and destruction of grassroots communities that might once have stemmed the tide of rising market forces. Fostering solidarity and collaboration between art communities and the wider public is now vital to the survival of both the art world and urban society as a whole, and it is imperative that we invent new ideas and strategies for the preservation and protection of the public sphere. Independent art organizations and other grassroots activists have answered the call by creating projects and events that encourage interaction between artists and local audiences. There is fresh momentum to reestablish public spaces where all citizens can come together and collectively reimagine society through artistic actions. In Asia, as elsewhere, such efforts are emerging within a rapidly changing cultural landscape. Many historically significant independent organizations have shut down; others, having survived, seem to have been transformed into partially or fully commercial galleries—Guangzhou's Vitamin Creative Space and Beijing's Long March Project and Boers-Li Gallery (previously named Universal Studios) come to mind. New organizations have in turn been founded across a much wider geographic area, especially in regions once considered "secondary" to the international art circuit such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Indeed, since 2005, several remarkable art projects, including Sàn Art and a little blah blah in Ho Chi Minh City, SA SA BASSAC in Phnom Penh, and New Zero Art Space in Yangon, have been formed. Like their elder "sisters" in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Shanghai (China); Tokyo (Japan); Singapore (Singapore); Seoul (South Korea); Taipei (Taiwan/ China); Bangkok (Thailand) and elsewhere, they have become important sites of artistic production, exhibition, and exchange, both in their home cities and beyond. Notably, education and public outreach are fundamental to many of these independent organizations (a trend that is also evident among the spaces included in Six Lines of Flight). For example, in 2005 Korean curator Sunjung Kim founded Samuso in a traditional residential area in Seoul; the space has organized lectures, performances, conferences, and enduring public art programs (such as Platform Seoul and City Within the City) in which international artists and others are invited to investigate the city and produce site-specific projects that reinterpret the urban environment. The fact that the space and its programs are so well integrated—from development to execution—into the local community makes Samuso a model platform for public engagement with contemporary art, broadly defined. Civic engagement is also central to Arrow Factory (pl. 278). Based in Beijing—the new El Dorado of the art boom, where galleries flock to become profitmaking ventures—this 161-square-foot (15-squaremeter) space heroically rises up against the grain. Distancing itself from the purpose-built art districts on the city outskirts, Arrow Factory (which shares its name with the narrow hutong, or alley, where it is located) is based in a traditional neighborhood in the oldest part of the capital. Separated from the bustle of the street by only a thin plate-glass window, the space both draws on and merges with its environment, hosting site-specific installations, exhibitions, performances, and informal gatherings that are visible to passersby twenty-four hours a day. Founded in 2008 by artists Rania Ho, Wang Wei, and Wei Weng, along with curator Pauline Yao, Arrow Factory remains committed to establishing ongoing dialogues with the local community. With minimal financing (raised both locally and internationally), the artists produce significant projects that are economical, flexible, and spontaneous as well as ephemeral, humorous, and above all critical. By recontextualizing familiar objects and responding to the immediate environment, the works presented at the space mix poetry and provocation, revealing the creative potential in the everyday. Hou Gestures of Love, or L'insurrection qui vient? 280. Occupy Wall Street demonstration at One Police Plaza, headquarters of the New York City Police Department, on September 30, 2011. Stan Honda/ AFP/Getty Images212 213 Significantly, Arrow Factory focuses on staging participatory interactions with the hutong dwellers (who are generally from lower social classes and might not otherwise frequent art spaces). For example, artist Yan Lei installed an air conditioner in the space and gave a key to a neighbor so that he and his family could live there for a month (pl. 279). Another "special event" transformed (or reverted) the space into a bakery where neighbors could enjoy, in some cases for the first time, an espresso and Western-style cakes and pastries. These interventions achieved the ideal union of art and life by strategically adapting everyday gestures to disseminate critical messages. Through such projects, the space has gradually become a distinct focal point of energy and creative production within the social ecology of the neighborhood. In the context of the rapid privatization and gentrification that is taking place in many Chinese cities, Arrow Factory claims a space for the protection and sustenance of local customs and ways of life. Their projects demonstrate how integration with the local community can produce highly political and even metaphysical messages of resistance that filter into the subconscious of the local population, mobilizing self-emancipation while also preserving and developing natural ways of living and socializing. Above all, such actions are gestures of love. The imaginative and courageous work of Arrow Factory is like Cupid's arrow hitting the heart of a city that is so much in need of love. 3 At a time when global crises of all kinds seem to be multiplying, independent art and cultural organizations everywhere are interrogating the significance of their work and their ethical positions. As Dan S. Wang, founder of the Chicago-based experimental cultural center Mess Hall, states in an essay written for 3 Years: Arrow Factory, 2008–2011: What does the necessity of Arrow Factory say about the historical vector at work, defining the parameters of political and expressive possibility, in Beijing or wherever one finds oneself? One answer is that as the structural crisis of capitalism hurtles toward bifurcation and multiple planetary systems approach collapse, the revolutionary legacies of modernity— unrealized, defeated, or overturned—deserve reconsideration as the dreamworks of humanity. But these legacies, if they are to be useful at all in the bewildering political-cultural landscape of multiple and overlapping subject positions, incomplete emancipations, extreme wealth disparities, and uneven developments that now make up the mosaic of daily life, must be renewed outside of their historically and context-specific vocabularies. In its first three years as an organic blip on the urban texture, Arrow Factory has been this mutation chamber, where idealistic potentialities at the socially granular level can be made into signposts of the future without depending on the overdetermined language of critical theory. At Arrow Factory self-sufficiency comes into the conversation where before there was only class-consciousness, market-resistant forms get created by blue-chip artists, and the sometime focal point of a randomly surviving hutong makes its own history—of art, of Beijing, of the possible.10 This reading of Arrow Factory's sociopolitical context echoes Alain Badiou's description of the "localization stage," which he identifies as the prelude to "the reawakening of history" and the attendant emergence of new possibilities for the emancipation of humanity. In his recent book Le réveil de l'histoire (The Reawakening of History), Badiou considers the stages of revolution through the lens of the ongoing Arab Spring and the actions of Los Indignados/ Les Indignés (The Outraged) across Europe, rebellions that inspired the American Occupy movement (pl. 280).11 Drawing a parallel between Europe's antimonarchy revolutions of 1848 and the current protests against the global financial powers (which masquerade as "democracies"), Badiou predicts the emergence of new public spheres and uprisings that will subvert the dominant system in favor of one that is truly democratic and egalitarian. A more radical call for revolution is found in Comité Invisible's L'insurrection qui vient (The Coming Insurrection).12 Echoing Hakim Bey's vision and strategy for Temporary Autonomous Zones, the Comité Invisible emphasizes direct action (for example, the guerrillastyle occupation of social spaces) and the mustering of communal forces to overturn prevailing power structures and usher in a new era of emancipatory universalism. The resonances between the efforts of Arrow Factory and other independent spaces can, and should, be recognized as parallel claims for a new world order in the international contemporary art community. Are these acts gestures of love? Or calls to arms for the coming insurrection? The two are by no means separate. At the brink of the reawakening of history, insurrection is both the condition for, and the expression of, love. Hou Gestures of Love, or L'insurrection qui vient? 1. L'insurrection qui vient (The Coming Insurrection), written by an anonymous group of contributors under the name Comité Invisible (Invisible Committee), was first published in French in 2007. Pointing to symptoms such as the financial crisis and a variety of environmental disasters in the late 2000s, it hypothesizes the imminent collapse of capitalism. The English edition, which was published in 2009, has greatly influenced the American anarchist movement. See Comité Invisible, L'insurrection que vient (Paris: La Fabrique éditions, 2007–9), available at http://zinelibrary.info/files/pdf_Insurrection .pdf; and The Invisible Committee, The Coming Insurrection (Los Angeles: Semiotext(e), 2009), also available at http://tarnac9.wordpress.com/texts/the -coming-insurrection/. 2. In 2005 the Chinese government pledged to construct "1,000 new museums by 2015, including 32 in Beijing in time for the 2008 Olympics and 100 in Shanghai before the opening of the 2010 World's Fair." See A. Craig Copetas, "China Is Racing to Get Its Art Treasures Back," New York Times (October 13, 2005), http://www.nytimes.com /2005/10/13/world/asia/13iht-china.html. Recent figures reported by governmentcontrolled news agencies indicate that more than one hundred new museums are opened in China each year. See "Beijing Ranks Second in Number of Museums," English China News Service (October 10, 2011), http://www.ecns .cn/2011/10-10/2883.shtml. 3. "China Pavilion to be 'Art Palace'," Time Out Shanghai, last updated November 14, 2011, http://www.timeoutshanghai.com /features/Blog/4758/China-Pavilion-to-be -Art-Palace.html. 4. Here I am referencing my essay "Initiatives, Alternatives: Notes in a Temporary and Raw State," in How Latitudes Become Forms: Art in a Global Age, ed. Philippe Vergne (Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2003), 36–39, also available at http://latitudes.walkerart.org /images/text/hanru_latitudes.pdf. 5. Throughout this paragraph, quoted material is from Hakim Bey, T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism (Brooklyn, NY: Autonomedia, anti-copyright, 1985, 1991), also available at http://hermetic.com/bey /taz_cont.html. 6. The rise of alternative organizational models in non-Western countries has begun to shape the ways Western museums position themselves internationally. One notable example is the "Museum as Hub" project that occupies the fifth floor of New York's New Museum. Under the curatorial leadership of Eungie Joo, the Hub organizes collaborations among various museums and art spaces including Townhouse Gallery (Cairo), Insa Art Space/Arko Art Center (Seoul), Museo Tamayo (Mexico City), and Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven). 7. See note 4 above. 8. I co-curated P_A_U_S_E, the 4th Gwangju Biennale, with Sung Wan-kyung and Charles Esche. 9. This idea was further developed in special projects for the Second Guangzhou Triennial, BEYOND: an extraordinary space of experimentation for modernization, which I directed and co-curated, with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Guo Xiaoyan, between 2004 and 2006. The organizations that took part in the triennial mingled with other independent educational initiatives, settling in a postindustrial site that became a new cultural center in Guangzhou. 10. Dan S.

See Alain Badiou, Le réveil de l'histoire, Circonstances 6 (Paris: Éditions Lignes, 2011). "Arab Spring" is the term used for the widespread demonstrations and protests against government corruption and repression that began in Tunisia on December 18, 2010, and spread across other countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The movement is known for its organizers' use of social media to galvanize support. As of February 2012, the Arab Spring has overthrown governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen, and led to uprisings and protests in numerous other countries. See Garry Blight, Sheila Pulham, and Paul Torpey, "Arab Spring: An Interactive Timeline of Middle East Protests," The Guardian (January 5, 2012), http://www .guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2011 /mar/22/middle-east-protest-interactive -timeline, and "The Arab Spring," Institute for War and Peace Reporting, accessed April 16, 2012, http://iwpr.net/programme /arab-spring.

The movement takes its name from a pamphlet titled Indignez-vous! (Time for Outrage), which was published in 2010 by French diplomat and writer Stéphane Hessel. 12. See note 1 above

Isabelle (Marine Vacth) is on summer vacation in the south of France when she takes up a relationship with Felix, a young German tourist. He is not her equal in any way, shape or form. She gives up her virginity to him, only to cast him aside days later. In the fall, back in Paris, we discover she's set-up a website to accept appointments from men she will meet for sex. She is a pure professional, however this does not mean she's immune to the effects of the sexual whims of the men that employ her. It is only with one regular client that she allows herself to experience any pleasure. That is until the unthinkable happens and the real world consequences of her decisions come crashing into her life.
Young & Beautiful is very French, and very self-indulgent, but that's kind of the point as Francois Ozon's exploration of the hubris of youth and burgeoning sexuality has its fair share of moments, diving us into this vapidly raw existence as we follow this young woman trying to find her identity.
Star Marine Vacth, in only her fourth on screen credit, delivers a powerful attention-getting performance as Isabelle. She simply commands the camera's attention at every turn, as her smoldering self-discovery is something to behold.
Granted it's not going to work for everyone, but Young & Beautiful unfurls a compelling tapestry that is hard to look away from.

As I mentioned previously, I have an eternal soft spot for V. Sattui Winery, and after attending their annual Crush Party on Saturday night, I'd go so far as to say that I'm completely head over heels in love with this family-owned St. Helena winery. Keep your eye on V. Sattui's calendar of events, and consider buying a ticket to next year's Crush Party.
V. Sattui's Crush Party is an annual celebratory open house with music, food, and of course, copious amounts of V. Sattui's wide variety of exceptional wines. The party gives wine aficionados a chance to learn about the winemaking process, with demos on everything from grape sorting to cork making. You can taste wines at multiple stages of the fermentation process, and even kick off your shoes and jump into a huge tub of grapes for a good old-fashioned grape stomp. Chat with the winemakers while you sample dozens of wines, snack on delicious hors d'oeuvres, and dance along to the live music. To top it all off, the winery looks absolutely gorgeous, with bright red tents and sparkling white lights everywhere. It's easy to understand why this event sells out every year. It's simply an incredibly fun and joyous celebration. I've been looking forward to it for months, yet it managed to exceed all my expectations. Luckily, it's a great night to take some memories home with you, as there are great discounts on a number of wines, including discounts of up to 30% on certain cases for truly dedicated connoisseurs.
Tasting the Madeira in three stages of production.
Learning how corks are made.
Watching foils put on bottles as the finishing touch.
Tasting wine straight out of the barrel when it is still in the "juice" phase.
The Crush Party is only one of the many annual events hosted at V. Sattui. I know that I'll be keeping my weekends open for next year's Barrel Tasting Party and Lobster Fest. If last Saturday's Crush Party is any indication, they're guaranteed to be memorable events.

Fall Hair Products and Tips
Fall is the best time to repair damage caused by the heat and humidity of summer and prepare your hair for the cool, dry months ahead. Here are some fall hair tips and products for keeping your hair moisturized and frizz-free all autumn long.
1. Lay Off the Glycerin
Glycerin can be helpful to smooth out frizz during the warmer humid months; however, in the cooler months glycerin can have the opposite effect. In dry weather, glycerin will do your curls no justice. Instead, go for a water-based product. Look at the ingredient list and pick out the one with water at the top. Here's what we recommend:
2. Use Less Protein
Products containing protein are wonderful for helping hair growth, but in the dryer months they are known to cause build up. Protein-rich products have a tendency to make hair dry and brittle, and in the cooler months these effects will be multiplied. If you're on a strict protein-regimen to promote hair growth, simply try lessening the amount of protein you expose your hair to during the fall and add a heavy moisturizer. We recommend:
3. Use a Sealant
Curly hair needs moisture no matter what season it is, but when the weather is perfect outside it's easy to forget our sealants. Don't skip this step in your fall regimen! Be sure to use a sealant on your curls to help retain moisture and keep your hair shiny and beautiful. Some favorite sealants of ours are coconut oil, argan oil, and Shea butter. We recommend:
