- - Where to buy plants?
Where to buy plants? I have just started my 40g planted tank, which is my first! I've had it going for about two weeks, everything is going very well. I have Eco-Complete, proper lighting, fertilizer, etc. Now to the point of the post... I have bought a couple plants from the LFS, but they only have a small selection and it seems overpriced. I see tanks on this site that have super diverse plants, all very healthy looking. Simply asking, where do you buy plants such as these? I know they grow and all, haha, but you have to start somewhere! Is buying online the best option? What sites? Additionally, what are some basic plants I should check out. I have a good 3" EcoComplete substrate as I mentioned and I'm up for anything, first planted tank and all. Thanks! |
There many online sites that are good. Many ppl buy from Sweetaquics, aquabid(I have heard of some ppl buying from there), and the last place I bought from was Thatpetplace. You can check some plant profiles and pics of plants in the tropical fish profiles. It is on the blue tap at the top of the screen second tab from the left. Then just like freshwater plants. |
As with fish, not all plants do well with all other plants. I won't go into all the science on allelopathy, but in addition to this there is the light requirement which varies. So the first thing to know is what your light is. And the fish species. You don't want to spend money on a group of plants only to have half of them fail and pollute the water when they fall apart. Byron. |
I have one 6500K florescent tube over my 40g as you recommended. As of now, the water is still cycling, so I have 6 bloodfin tetra, who are doing very well. For now, this is going to just be a small, peaceful tank. I'm open to whatever you suggest. |
i buy my plants from PetSmart. go there on the day they get their plants in, which is Friday for me, and you'll get first pick of all the good plants. the one by my house has a pretty good selection. |
Floating plants are beneficial to fish and water conditions. Ceratopteris cornuta if you can find it, or if not, the stem plant Brazilian Pennywort is ideal left floating. I find the above (except for the crypts) very hardy, easy plants. All are in our profiles. Online plant suppliers usually have these, some have packages of mixed plants, but the problem with these is getting plants with different requirements (stem plants for instance frequently require more light). Hope this is of some help. Byron. |
Awesome, I'll look for these. Thanks! |
If you want to try a crypt, be sire to go with Crypt Wendtii. They're definately the hardiest. |
I purchase plant's from aquariumplants.com. With exception of an anubia plant attached to wood, my tank now consist's of all Crypt plant's. I have Crypt retrospiralis,Crypt balansae,Crypt pontederiifolia,Bronze crypt,Crypt wendtii (red),Crypt parva,and some floating pennywort. Plant's are thriving under three 32 watt T8 bulbs and once a week trace minerals(flourish comprehensive) and dry fertz NPK. |
I have several Crypt Wendtii and they look nice with a mixture of green plants.I wanted a more than just green plants. So these came recommended on here. And they have been doing great for me. The swords I thought wouldn't do very well with nothing but light and Flourish complete, but they have been growing well. I just got some micro swords. I know they grow slow, but that is fine with me. |

Hartford — President Barack Obama appointed Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to the Council of Governors today, a group of 10 state governors that reviews matters involving the National Guard and other military activities.
He will serve a two-year term on the council, which was established in 2010. Malloy said he was honored to have been chosen.
"I am proud of the men and women of the Connecticut Army and Air National Guard who are routinely called upon to support the needs of this state and the nation," Malloy said in a statement. "Since taking office, I have activated Guard forces five times to support initial response and recovery operations to declared disasters. I have also attended the send off of nearly 1,500 soldiers and airmen in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn and Enduring Freedom. This appointment comes with great responsibility and I thank the president for his confidence."
In addition to the 10 council members, the secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security, presidential homeland security and counterterrorism advisors, the commander of U.S. Northern Command, the commandant of the Coast Guard and the chief of the National Guard Bureau also participate in the discussions.

When done well, parody videos are great. They feel like an inside joke we can all nod our heads along with and be all, "Yeah, that is a pretty ridiculous thing we did in that video game that one time."
In the spirit of...today, Mega Land Games makes a spoof video of Resident Evil involving the well-known healing herbs. What exactly are these mysterious herbs, though? Well, this is one interpretation, and the results are funny jabs at both the tropes of the franchise as well as the, erm, herb itself.
Thanks for the tip, GuS_53!

China today protested about Prime Minister David Cameron's decision to meet the Dalai Lama during his visit to London yesterday.
Britain's ambassador in Beijing, Sebastian Wood, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry to receive a rebuke from China's Vice Foreign Minister Song Tao.
Mr Song said the meeting with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader amounted to serious interference in China's internal affairs.
David Cameron and Nick Clegg met with the Dalai Lama
Mr Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg met the Dalai Lama privately yesterday at St Paul's Cathedral, where he was receiving the £1.1 million Templeton Prize for his work affirming the spiritual dimension of life. He donated the bulk of the prize to Save the Children to support its work in India.
China's Foreign Ministry said Mr Song told Mr Wood British leaders should consider the "serious consequences" of meeting the Dalai Lama, who is regarded as a separatist by Beijing.
My Conversation With the Dalai Lama: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality (VIDEO)
The meeting "seriously interfered with China's internal affairs, undermined China's core interests, and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people", said the Foreign Ministry in a statement.
Mr Song urged Britain to take "practical actions to correct the error".
Mr Cameron's official spokesman said: "The Dalai Lama is an important religious figure.
"We don't want to see our relationship with China disrupted by the visit of the Dalai Lama.
"The Dalai Lama travels all over the world and has visited the UK several times in the past, and I believe that former prime ministers also met with him when they were in office."
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "British ministers believe that who they see is a matter for them.
"The Dalai Lama is an important religious figure and the Prime Minister expects to meet important religious figures from time to time.
"If they choose to see someone, it does not necessarily indicate they support that individual's viewpoint. Ministers place value on dialogue, discussion and gathering a wide range of viewpoints on issues of importance."

Worst refrigerator we have EVER owned
By Blownaway
from Huntington Beach
Comments about KitchenAid Brushed Aluminum 36" Built-In Overlay Side By Side Refrigerator:
We bought this refrigerator in 2008 and have had nothing but problems...it is a definite lemon. The first thing we had problems with was the freezer door (which they had to replace) then several ice makers, water line keeps freezing so we don't get ice...have to use a blow dryer to fix, replaced control board in Oct. 2015 and they just told us we need to replace it again along with defrosting issues that they don't know if the control board will actually fix. Just don't buy this refrigerator and save yourself a headache.

text: Kansas City MLS Team's New Name Is Impossibly AwfulBarry Petchesky11/18/10 1:35pmFiled to: MlsSporting kansas cityTeam NamesKansas City Wizards101EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkGoodbye, Kansas City Wizards. Hello, Sporting Kansas City. Or as we will refer to them hereafter, The Fightin' Gerunds.Advertisement"Wizards" was never a great name. It's just as much a relic of what people in the '90s thought was cool as any team wearing teal. (Though it was better than their inaugural season, when they were "The Wiz." And we wonder why MLS wasn't taken seriously.)But the trend of naming teams in European and Latin American styles has to stop. D.C. United makes a little sense. FC Dallas and Chivas USA make less. Real Salt Lake, none at all. But "Sporting," a designation only vaguely familiar to American ears from the Lisbon team, just sounds like they're trying too hard.AdvertisementAccording to the press release, the name change "establishes a brand that will best represent their vision to bring additional sports properties to the Kansas City market." That's fine, but it's not as if the old Wizards name screamed "soccer and soccer only." This would make more sense if it were a Quidditch club looking to expand into other sports.And say farewell to The Cauldron, the former name of the supporters group. That only made sense with the Wizards connection. For Sporting, the fan section is going to have to be renamed Supporting.Reply101 repliesLeave a reply

Creative, relentless, awe-inspiring are some of the adjectives describing these 2009 Team Captains whose diligent efforts made the 2009 Henry County Relay for Life a success. Thank you, Team Captains, for your hard work. Together we are making a difference in the fight against cancer.

One of the things I consider to be interesting about what I do for a living is covering meetings.
Oh, they're not necessarily fun, but they are very important. And I learned a long time ago that sometimes people will say the darndest things in public meetings. Usually it results in spectators saying, "Wait a minute, what did he just say?"
I am very upset that New Castle Spring Fling did not get the billing (it deserved). It is one of the most important festivals of the year.
They work hard for five months to get the bands and singers, the food booths, and flea markets, all the games and the silent auction, parade. They work very hard to give you a nice day to enjoy and have fun.
I think we should give a big thank you to them.

My husband and I have always had many things in common. We share a love for books, old country music, the peace and quiet of rural living, and spending time with our children and grandchildren. For the most part, our values and outlooks on life are in sync. Neither of us is particularly hotheaded, and we both feel a sense of humor is necessary to cope with life's inevitable frustrations. But when it comes to dietary issues, we are exact opposites. We're like Jack Sprat and his wife from the old nursery rhyme.
Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
Through the Internet, kids can access online educational resources from some of our nation's greatest institutions, like the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Museums. The Internet also helps kids with homework and research projects, provides them with instant information about community events and local activities, and connects them with friends around the world. While the Internet is a valuable tool in our children's lives, as parents, we must be conscious of its potential dangers.
You can say there is two sides to every stories but in this case you can say three. No, the ATVs are not everyday after school or during the week. But yes we do let our kids and family ride the ATVs in our yard and the families yard behind us. We also ride them too.
I, September Tingle, took a petition around our neighborhood with the help of Donna Samples to ask our neighbors if they had problems with us riding our ATVs in our yards. If they did not have a problem with it, could they sign the paper. Out of 30 houses only seven did not sign. So what does that tell you?
How much do you think you really know about Henry County?
Leadership programs throughout the state have risen in popularity in the last ten years, and I've had the opportunity to go through two of them.
In each, participants attend a series of themed days over the course of several months to learn about the various aspects of their county — its industry, schools, agriculture, government, human services and more.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts for their generosity in painting the playground equipment at our school for their community project. They, along with their parents, spent many hours on weekends and after school to paint swings, monkey bars, etc… beautiful vibrant colors. "Wow! Who did this? Our playground looks beautiful!" was the reaction by students and staff alike. We are fortunate to serve a community that supports our school. Our students are learning life lessons of the importance of giving back to the community.
On May 14 my wife and I got the phone call no parent wants to get. Our daughter called screaming, "Help Me Mommy." She was calling from inside her SUV that she had lost control of and overturned. We immediately called 911 and a State Trooper was there within a minute of our call. Emily was taken to Carroll County Memorial Hospital where we were told that she had a broken back. She was transferred to Kosair Children's Hospital. She had surgery to repair her back, but will need extensive rehab for the next couple of months.
At the end of each legislative session, there are always several issues that remain unresolved, often because others dominate discussions or time simply runs out.
The 2009 Regular Session was a textbook example of both of those in action. With less than two dozen days to debate bills, the General Assembly focused most of its attention on overcoming a sizeable budget deficit; significantly reforming the testing system that measures school progress; enacting a major highway plan; and implementing a better, more cost-effective approach to treating non-violent drug offenders.
The government has seen fit to subsidize two automobile manufacturers with billions of dollars of our (and our children's) tax money. If one is the recipient of "free" money from the government I'm sure there is reason to celebrate, but what of those who are not receiving government largesse?
Music on Main is this Friday night. The City of Eminence wants to invite everyone to attend. This is a night full of fellowship, food, fun and live music. The live music will be provided by another local band, the Sugarfoot Band! The night will start at 5:30 with a great selection of food — Eminence Christian Church will have a fish fry and Wesley Morrison will have some Hot Diggity Dawgs! The live band will take the stage at 7, and will play until 11. There will also be some fun for the kids.
When the drafters of Kentucky's constitution wrote the section on special legislative sessions more than a century ago, they gave the governor the authority to call them and set the agenda, but left it up to the General Assembly to decide what, if anything, should become law.
With that in mind, Governor Beshear last week formally called legislators to return to Frankfort on June 15. Not surprisingly, his first priority is overcoming a billion-dollar shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins in July.
In the past the City of Pleasureville has had no luck in retaining a police officer. They complain there is not enough "action" in Pleasureville. Since the city cannot afford to pay overtime, an officer would only be allowed to work 40 hours. That leaves 128-hours per week the town is not covered. We have more protection day and night when we don't have an officer; through the Kentucky State Police and the Henry County Sheriff's Office. There are only three women at our Commission meetings that complain of not having an officer.
Memorial Day is a day set aside for us as Americans to remember those who have fought and died for our country and I would like to thank all the men and women who have fought and died for our country, and I would like to thank all the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country over the years.
People the world over are governed by rules and regulations – far too many in my humble opinion. The ones that irk me the most are those aimed at protecting us from our own actions – like the mandatory seatbelt law, or, in many states, the mandatory helmet law for motorcyclists. I know, I know – many of these laws save lives. But I believe folks ought to have the right to act unwisely in matters affecting only themselves. The Bill of Rights should have had a clause to the affect that people have the right to be dumb about their own welfare if they choose.
I recently saw where the HCHS senior prom and the EHS prom were held in Louisville. My question is why couldn't the proms be held at their respective high school gyms?
When I went to school, the high school gym was a suitable place for the senior prom, but it seems the grown ups are sending the seniors the wrong message by saying that the seniors are better than the seniors who came before them like myself.
I hope everyone will come to their senses and start holding the senior proms at the high school gyms again.
While there are still a few reports of the H1N1 (or swine) flu being diagnosed across the state, it is looking more and more likely that our fears of a more serious outbreak will thankfully not come to pass.
But that, of course, does not mean we need to let our guard down.
Fortunately, that is even less likely to happen after the recent announcement by the University of Louisville that it has received a $2.3 million federal grant to help communities prepare for any possible large-scale public health outbreaks.
Recently this nation celebrated Memorial Day, a day set aside to honor those people who served in our military to fight our wars and to protect our families. Some served and returned home to family, others died and were buried on foreign soils because they believed in serving our country to protect the freedoms that their forefathers had fought and won on our behalf. The Gettysburg Address was probably the first public speech to honor those who fought in the civil war.
When he first came into our office, Bob McGee told me about Molly with a tear in his eye.
His faithful companion, with whom he walked nearly every day for as long as they were friends, had died.
McGee and Molly had a long relationship of master and loyal pooch. I understood the tears in his eyes.
Over the years I've had countless dogs —and cats — and seen them come and go. Koko the German Shepherd mix was one of my best friends when I was a child.

Breuer's Kepes House
Maybe you recall last summer's vacation blog post from the Chermayeff house? Well the same friends who were staying chez Chermayeff, have, this year, been inhabiting the house Marcel Breuer built for Gyorgy Kepes. This is a feat of summer house one-ups-manship that can only end with them, next year, renting Le Corbusier's Cabanon. Who knew the Bauhaus were such a presence in Cape Cod? "Not I" (he types while buying lobster rolls at the Gropius Clam Shack).
In any case- their summer houses are my gain. Many first editions inside, and me, with only my crappy camera phone:
Designed by Paul Rand, for whom Breuer also designed a cape house (though evidently, according to my hosts, there was friction betwixt architect and designer- surprise surprise). This Eliade reminded me of this other Rand jacket:
And this one, by Kepes himself:
And this one here:
which if I flatter myself reminds me of something I once did for Herbert Muschamps- though mine is exactly one gazillion times worse. Glad I hadn't seen it earlier or I would've sulked. Just like I'm sulking now.
A spot of Matisse?
And this here, which is so much lovelier in person than in this photo (designer unknown):
And an inscription to Kepes from Jonas Salk
"Dear Gyorgy, design is all well and good, but, as you may know, I CURED POLIO BITCHES!"
Only kidding:
and another remnant of the original owner:
and I leave you with this:
A copy-less flap. This is just how I feel on vacation: like a copy-less flap.
See you all in a bit,

Radiohead's Dead Air Space has once again delivered the goods. And this time, it comes via a stream of the third installment in the band's remix series of tracks off The King of Limbs. This single might be the most anticipated yet as it features Thom Yorke's pal Four Tet remixing "Separator," which is my probably my favorite in the series to date. The single also boasts Lone taking on "Feral" while Pearson Sound reworks "Morning Mr. Magpie." Remember, you can collect all these singles if you want, but they're also coming out as a compilation later this year. Just something to take note of, y'all.
You can stream the remixes below. They're due out in the U.S. on Aug. 9.

I don't recall any of you independants questioning where Obama's donations came from. Seems to me money from outside a district is one thing but what about donations from outside the country?

You've heard THIS independent question that several times. I don't care WHO the candidate is, or WHAT the party is, I don't want anonymous or foreign interests funding (ie buying) our elections. That is why I favor an amendment that clearly defines a "person" as a human being, and limit corporate donations. Maybe I didn't use the exact terms you would have preferred, but I have always been against these contributions.

In fact, both candidates in the last election received funds from foreign donors both directly and indirectly through PACs. Both returned those donations that were identified. One individual was arrested for illegal, foreign source donations to the Obama campaign but I do not know if he has been tried yet. Based on the United decision, it will be essentially impossible to prevent foreign funds from being used in S election campaigns since corporate donations and donations through 501 (c)(4) organizations such and Rove's Crossroads group and even the Chamber of Commerce will remain anonymous. With the mid-term elections, such anonymous donations may actually now represent the majority of all funds used in conjunction with election campaigns.
EDIT: To be clear, there is nothing illegal about donations received from non-US addresses. US citizens residing outside the US are perfectly entitled to contribute to campaigns. By virtue of its phenomenal success in raising small dollar contributions over the Internet, the Obama campaign received thousands of contributions from foreign addresses. In these, the computer system required that the donors check a box indicating that they were US citizens and enter a passport number in a box. Those numbers were not verified. Under US law, a campaign is required to exercise due diligence and then to return contributions that are determined to violate the law. An AP survey found that both campaigns took the money first and only asked questions later, if ever. In one instance, the McCain capaign returned some $50,000 that was solicited and received by a non-US citizen in Florida who had been asked to become a fund raiser by a McCain campaign staffer. A Canadian donor gave $500 to the Obama campaign, checked the citizen box and entered a passport number, but also wrote in the address space that he was not a citizen. Since donor lists and reports were automatically recorded and sent to the FEC, this record was sent as well and the money was refunded.

California Napa Valley
Traditional Elegance
Grace & Co.
Jimmy Choo Joseph Abboud Magnanni Monique Lhuillier
You are going to need to sit down for this Napa Valley beauty by Adeline and Grace Photography…Sitting? Fab. Snuggled up to your computer? Good. Now we can get started, because this wine country wedding needs your full attention. It would just be criminal to miss out on all of the classically chic details and the timeless beauty of a bride – we couldn't allow you to break the wedding gawking laws, now could we? Of course we couldn't, which is why we highly recommend gawking over the rest of the gorgeousness in the full gallery of images!
Click here to see the entire gallery of images!
From the Bride…Shortly after my now-husband, Keith, opened his plastic surgery practice and medical spa in Redondo Beach, he hired me to work for him. Whoops! As a couple, we discovered why it's not always wise to mix business with pleasure. After one or two "in-office mishaps", I decided to spread my wings and resign – effective immediately. I said goodbye to Aesthetic Edge and Marcus Facial Plastic Surgery and took up a new business…the wedding business (and let me tell you, it was a full-time job!).
Watching shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" and reading blogs like Style Me Pretty became part of my daily routine, along with getting quotes from vendors and trying to keep my sanity. Fortunately, all of the hard work paid off, and Keith and I ended up having the best day of our lives! Since our wedding was in Napa Valley over the Fourth of July weekend, I was even granted my wish of having fireworks at my wedding…however far in the distance. In the end, we couldn't have asked for anything more!

2004 results indicate increased concern by enterprise management; employees not diligent enough
London, March 7, 2005 SafeNet, Inc., setting the standard for information security, today announced the results of its second annual global password survey.
Tony Caputo, SafeNet Chairman and CEO, said of the results, "This survey reinforces what we hear from customers about their information security concerns that passwords alone do not provide sufficient security. That's why our USB token, smart card and other authentication products and solutions are in such demand."
"Whether employees are writing their passwords down, or frequently calling the internal help desk because they can't remember them, the organisation can be at risk while experiencing loss of productivity. Technology today has solutions that are appropriate and affordable for every situation."
High level results:

Daily Blog •June 22, 2012 |
If you are a follower of my magazine, I am sure you are familiar with the fact that I have NINE different sets of power ratings that I create each preseason to give me 9 different ways of analyzing a team. One is based on the individual talent level and performance of each position on each team and those are added up for the rating. Another is based on my Power Plays numbers, which include rushing and passing offenses, defenses and special teams. Another is a continually updated power rating based on the score of the games and the strength of opponent. Finally a few years back, before computers became part of the BCS rankings system, there was without a doubt some flaws in the polls. Teams rated #2 or #3 in the country really were not that talented and were maybe the 5th or 6th best. One internet site decided to produce a poll of some of the top analysts and experts each week and invited me to join. I myself work 365 days a year. During magazine time (March, April, May) and throughout the football season (August through January) there are many 15-18 hour days put in and all of them are spent solely working on FOOTBALL. When they invited me to join the poll, I wanted to give them the best set of power ratings in the country to help make the poll as accurate as possible. The dilemma I had was which set?
What I decided to do was combine all eight into one rating which gives me a very solid overall ranking for each team. The rating takes into account EVERY factor, using it as my main set of power ratings which thus created my 9th set. You can learn more about this main set of power ratings on page 331 of this year's magazine. I also go into complete details on my plus/minus power ratings on page 337.
When I have all of my sets of power ratings finalized I then plug them into each individual team's schedule and let the computer play out each game using the different power ratings. My computer will then show me which teams that have one or more sets of Power Ratings calling for them to have undefeated seasons. Naturally, if a team is projected at the top of my Power Ratings, it has a greater chance of going unbeaten.
Here are the teams that are projected to have undefeated seasons by at least one of my power ratings this year. Also listed are teams that just missed the cut with one or more of sets calling for an 11-1 season.
Which Teams Could Go 11-1 or 12-0
(According to my sets of Power Ratings)
# of Sets | # of Sets | Team | |
Team | Call for 12-0 | Call for 11-1 | Losing To |
Florida St | 9 | 0 | |
Oklahoma | 8 | 0 | |
USC | 5 | 3* | Stanford |
LSU | 3 | 6* | Florida |
North Carolina | 2 | 1 | Louisville |
Louisville | 2 | 1 | Pittsburgh |
Houston | 2 | 3 | UCLA |
Georgia | 1 | 5 | Florida |
Wisconsin | 1 | 4 | Nebraska |
Oregon | 0 | 9* | USC |
Alabama | 0 | 5 | LSU |
Clemson | 0 | 5 | Florida St |
Oklahoma St | 0 | 4 | Oklahoma |
UCF | 0 | 3 | Ohio St |
Western Michigan | 0 | 3 | Illinois |
Ohio | 0 | 2 | Penn St |
Louisiana Tech | 0 | 2 | Houston |
Stanford | 0 | 2 | Oregon |
Ohio St | 0 | 1 | Wisconsin |
Nebraska | 0 | 1 | Ohio St |
Texas | 0 | 1 | Oklahoma |
Florida | 0 | 1 | Florida St |
Tennessee | 0 | 1 | Georgia |
Northern Illinois | 0 | 1 | Western Michigan |
Boise St | 0 | 1 | Michigan St |
This list of teams has proven to be a good indicator of the chances of an undefeated season. In 2002, three sets of my ratings called for Ohio St to go unbeaten and the Buckeyes were the surprise team of the country and won the National Title. Basically any team that has finished unbeaten in the past 9 years has made this list with at least one of my sets of ratings calling for an 11-1 or 12-0 season.
You can now see why I picked a Florida St/Oklahoma National Title game as my power ratings clearly call for them to have the best chances at running the table this year with USC and LSU just behind them. I also though it was interesting to see that all 9 sets of my power ratings call for Oregon to go 11-1 (loss to USC) which makes the Ducks very dangerous if they have to play USC twice this season.
I am sure you are wondering why I am so fascinated and dependent on power ratings when analyzing a team in the preseason and during the season. I am in my late 40's and I started following college football with great intensity at about 10 years old. At that time (being a numbers guy) I devised my own set of power ratings, which was based mostly on where the preseason magazines I was reading ranked the teams. I even awarded points at that time for how many pictured players each team had in the magazines. I updated those ratings during the season based on the final scores of the games.
A few years later after compiling my ratings (and no longer counting pictures), I stumbled upon the GamePlan magazine. In the front of the magazine was a set of power ratings for each team!! I now had two sets of power ratings on each team and I updated them both during the year giving me two different ways of looking at the strength of a team and I was well on my way to nine different sets.

Richard Prince on the Whitney Biennial
"After lunch I went over to the Whitney. For some reason I wanted to see the biennial. I'm not sure why. Before checking it out I went up to the fifth floor. That's where they hang work that's in the permanent collection. I'm glad I did. There was a gorgeous late fifties Lee Krasner painting hanging in a room of it's own. After staring, I walked down to the fourth floor and it looked like people were exercising on a huge black rubber matt that took up the entire floor. There were maybe fifteen people following the commands of a woman who was talking into a microphone... telling the fifteen people what to do. I think the fifteen people following the commands were people who had walked off the street. They kind of just "joined in". I've heard this type of activity in the art world is called "relational aesthetics"... or something like that... It felt like I was interrupting the "relation". I quickly got out of there. I walked down to the third floor and in the back there was a room filled with an artist's junk. There seems to be a room filled with an aritst's junk in every biennial I've ever been to. I'm not sure why this artist's junk was there. I walked around the corner and there were fifty Dana Shultz paintings on the wall. At least I think they were Shultz's paintings. (I walked by pretty fast). I skipped the second floor and went down to the lobby. What happened to the bookstore? There was none. There were some catalogues thrown out on tables that looked "remaindered"... what was there looked like a bake sale. I walked out of the Whitney having spent less than twenty minutes... fifteen of those standing in front of the Krasner."

Strange, this description mirrors my visit except I didn't bother looking for the book store and I stayed with a Morris Lewis for 10 minutes. I also notice the clipped pages from an astronomy textbook framed and scattered about the museum. I assume I was being reminded that its all about context?

What arrogance. Did you look at the Andrew Masullo's or the Forrest Bess pictures...no...too busy sucking up to the Lee Krasner...

Dana Schutz not Dana Shultz!

but it wasnt dana anyways

i think he knows it isn't her

If the Krasner is the one on the website (The Seasons), it is gorgeous. I'd suck up to it any day. The pomegranite bum looks like a Guston head.
there's kind of a 19th century didactic vibe to what Prince describes. The art is here to help us be better people. - 4/03/2012 6:58 AM

This piece is ridiculous and smug. Shows how tired Prince's brand of irony has become. The biennial was really good. Maybe if he spent some time actually looking at some younger artists' work his recent paintings wouldn't be so DOA.

I won't defend Prince's work and I have not seen the Biennial, but I too felt like I was interrupting something walking in on instances of relational aesthetics at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis. There is always something a bit coercive about utopianism. Come join our free society: here are the parameters Those parameters can be primary colors and horizontals and verticals, or they can be some collective activity. One could say that I was unable to dislodge myself from the traditional art-viewing mode, wherein I want to observe an object. A hair needs to be split - watching people interact is different from interacting with something yourself, which for me can be very stimulating and curiosity-inducing. I guess there is always something coercive about art in general. One could say it is arrogant to impose form upon any material; except that such form can then enter a dialogue with other formed materials. One needn't apologize for liking to look at things. And I still think that Krasner is da bomb, keeping open questions about forming, completion, rhythm, and interior scale that for some were closed by 1957. It won't settle on being either a field or a picture of things.

The inclusion of Forest Bess' oeuvre is significant for the Whitney Biennial. He was a true outsider (albeit with NYC and intellectual ties), and "visionary artist" who died several decades ago. Prince's assessment points out the possibility of viewing much of the work through the lens of the outsider artist. When you have room after room, wall after wall filled with really smart, pedigreed MFA grads making work that looks like an outsider, it means something. Curatorially including Bess among this group points out a certain conceit to contemporary art practice.
