November 24, 2014
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Antti Niemi made 25 saves and Matt Pelech's first NHL goal stood up as the winner and the San Jose Sharks stayed perfect on the season by topping the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Thursday.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Patrick Marleau and Brent Burns, into an empty net, also scored for the Sharks (4-0-0).
San Jose beat the Canucks 4-1 in both teams' season opener after sweeping Vancouver four straight in the first round of last year's playoffs. Joe Thornton and Logan Couture added two assists.
San Jose, which also won all three meetings during the 2013 regular season, has not lost to the Canucks since Jan. 21, 2012.
Sharks forward Tomas Hertl, who became the talk of the NHL after scoring four times in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the New York Rangers, was held pointless.
Mike Santorelli scored for the Canucks (3-2-0), who got 25 saves from Roberto Luongo.

Adorable pair of vintage porcelain White Rabbit Candle Holders made by AVON, one in 1980, the other in 1981, but the two are almost identical and look fabulous displayed together. Both Albino rabbits are all white with handpainted, realistic looking pink noses, pink shading inside ears, and pink eyes. Both have candle cups with votive candles that have not been burned; one candle is pink, the other yellow. Both candle cups have molded relief Pansy flowers and are trimmed with a green band around the top.
The tallest rabbit is measures 5-1/2" tall and holds his 2-1/4" wide candle cup up, slightly over his head. The smaller rabbit measures 5" tall and sits beside his 2-1/4" wide candle cup which is molded to resemble a woven basket.
Both white rabbits are in excellent to mint condition with no chips, discoloration, cracks, crazing, or loss of color on features and have a smooth, clean, glossy finish.
The smaller, sitting rabbit is marked, "AVON 1980, All Rights Reserved" and has a gold foil label reading, "Hand Painted in Brazil, Exclusively for Avon Products, Inc."
The taller rabbit is marked, "AVON 1981" and has a gold foil label reading, "Hand Painted, Made in Brazil" and "WEISS".
This sweet pair of bunnies are sure to bring smiles!

Vikings GamePlan, Vikings Weekly To Air 1 Hour Earlier This SundayPosted by on November 5, 2009 – 1:43 pm
The FOX NFL pregame show, which usually begins at 11:00 CT on Sundays and runs for 1 hour, will be broadcast from a U.S. Military Base in Afghanistan this upcoming weekend and will be expanded to a 2-hour show.
As a result, both Vikings GamePlan and Vikings Weekly will be aired 1 hour earlier on Sunday, with Weekly slated to air at 9:00 a.m. CT on FOX 9 and GamePlan set to go at 9:30 a.m. CT on the same channel. Both shows will be aired at their normal times (10:00 and 10:30 a.m. CT) on FSNorth.
Even though the Vikings are on a bye this week, both GamePlan and Weekly have jam-packed shows that will satisfy your Vikings appetite.
Here is a list of elements that will be included in Vikings Weekly:
— Host Ann Carroll is live on-site at the Vikings Taste of the NFL event at International Market Square. She examines the history of Taste of the NFL and also speaks with DE Brian Robison about raising awareness of a health issue that is personal to him.
— Ann also speaks with G Steve Hutchinson and gets the low-down on his bye week plans (hint: he's doing something he's never done), his favorite Twin Cities restaurant and the inside scoop on his post-Packer game celebration with QB Brett Favre.
— To wrap-up the show, Ann is joined by the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders and finds out their secret to staying in tip-top shape.
Vikings GamePlan, hosted by radio voice of the Vikings Paul Allen, will feature a segment of the top 10 Vikings plays of the 1st half of the season. TE Visanthe Shiancoe will be the player guest and will have a conversation with PA. Also, the NFL Network crew will take a look and breakdown the 2nd half of the Vikings regular season.

Very cool that Fox is going over to Afghanistan for the troops. After today's news, we need to never forget those who give so much. I salute them all.

Get Well Steve
MacMinute is reporting that Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs is hospitalized and recovering from successful surgery for pancreatic cancer. Using a PowerBook to e-mail from his hospital bed, Jobs wrote to tell Apple employees that, "I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about 1 percent of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year, and can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was). I will not require any chemotherapy or radiation treatments." Jobs will return to his Cupertino office in September, presumably after the Apple Expo in Paris.
iLounge wishes Steve the speediest and fullest of recoveries, and invites our readers to leave a "get well" message for Steve in this comments thread, which we will forward to Apple. (Negative messages will be deleted and their posters banned; please use good judgment in leaving messages for a man recovering from cancer.)

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
The first two "Toy Story" movies centered on the relationship between a boy and his toys. In Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story 3," Andy has grown to college age and the story leaves the toys pretty much on their own. In a third act where they find themselves fighting for life on a conveyor belt to a garbage incinerator, we fear it could be renamed "Toy Story Triage."
The problems all begin with that most dreaded of commands, "Clean out your room!" No mother in history understands that a boy's room has all of his stuff exactly where he needs it, even if he dumped it there 10 years earlier. Andy's mom gives him three choices: (1) attic; (2) donation to a day-care center; (3) trash. As Andy examines his old toys, his gaze lingers fondly on Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), and he decides to take him along to college.
What with one thing and another, the other toys find themselves at the day-care center, which they think they'll like, because there will be plenty of kids to play with them all day long. There seems to be relatively little grieving about the loss of Andy's affections; he did, after all, sentence them to a toy box for years, and toys by nature are self-centered and want to be played with.
Day care seems like a happy choice, until a dark underside of its toy society emerges in the person of an ominously hug-prone bear named Lotso (Ned Beatty). They pick up, however, some additions to their little band, including a Ken doll with an extensive wardrobe. If you ask me, Barbie (Jodi Benson) is anorexic, and Ken (Michael Keaton) is gay, but nobody in the movie knows this, so I'm just sayin'.
Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is back, still in hapless hero mode, but after a reboot, he starts speaking Spanish and that leads to some funny stuff. I also enjoyed the plight of Mrs. Potato Head (Estelle Harris), whose missing eye continues to see independently of her head. This raises intriguing physiological questions, such as, if Mr. Potato Head lost an ear, would it continue to hear, or if he lost a mouth, would it continue to eat without a body? These are not academic questions; at one point, Mister becomes an uncooked taco shell. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head must be old hands at such situations, because children spend most of their time attaching his body parts in the wrong way, like malpracticing little Dr. Frankensteins.
Man, the toys have a dangerous time of it after they eventually find themselves at a garbage collection center. You have no idea what garbage has to go through before becoming landfill, and even an Indiana Jones toy would have trouble surviving the rotating blades. There is a happy ending, of course, but I suspect these toys may be traumatized for eternity.
This is a jolly, slapstick comedy, lacking the almost eerie humanity that infused the earlier "Toy Story" sagas, and happier with action and jokes than with characters and emotions. But hey, what can you expect from a movie named "Toy Story 3," especially with the humans mostly offstage? I expect its target audience will love it, and at the box office, it may take right up where "How to Train Your Dragon" left off. Just don't get me started about the 3-D.

A large portion of the United States is experiencing incredibly cold temperatures this week. From North Dakota down south to Texas, temperatures are unseasonably low—causing people to dig out their winter hats, scarves and snow boots. Our friends in state and local Departments of Transportation, fire and police departments, and at the National Weather Service have been working really hard to make sure communities in the line of this cold snap are safe and prepared just in case this is just the first taste of a frigid winter season. This late fall freeze has a bit of a sense of humor,...Posted On: November 12, 2014
In the emergency management world, accurate, timely information is vital. Having that information results in better prepared communities and survivors who can recover more quickly when disaster strikes. That's why FEMA's Tribal Affairs team created a new, quickly accessible information resource to provide tribal emergency managers with important information about FEMA's disaster assistance programs: a pocket guide for FEMA and Tribal Nations. Embracing and considering the unique needs of all stakeholders is one of FEMA's top priorities. This...Posted On: November 6, 2014

What makes a great race? To me, the ingredients include awesome scenery, a well-planned route, and a cause that runners can really get behind. I ran a race that met all three of these conditions in Cannon Beach, Oregon called "Race the Wave". In short, the city of Cannon Beach took their town's risk for earthquakes and tsunamis and made it into a race, and I'm going to lay out why every community along the Pacific coast should be hurrying to plan their own. The coolest part of "Race the Wave" is that it doesn't have to be a "race" per se, with runners competing for the best...Posted On: October 15, 2014

As part of our ongoing effort to engage and educate young people about disaster preparedness, Girls Scouts past and present joined us for a Girl Scouts Preparedness Day.

Last week, the Chicago Tribune featured a story about a firefighter from the Galapagos Islands who traveled about 3,000 miles from his home to attend a firefighting training course in Romeoville, IL.

Flash flooding in El Paso, TX caused a disruption during the early Monday morning commute of many people, including one woman whose truck was swept into a canal by fast-moving flood water. Some quick-thinking teachers that were on their way to training became first responders as they helped the woman escape being trapped between her vehicle and the canal's wall. Not all first responders are fire fighters, police officers, or paramedics. Often, first responders are fast moving bystanders with a mind to help.The video of the dramatic rescue, filmed by a news reporter turned rescuer is available...Posted On: September 24, 2014
Fifteen years after Hurricane Floyd, the images of overwhelming physical, human and environmental impacts are still vivid. The late 1990s was an unprecedented time for North Carolina: Floyd was the sixth hurricane to hit the state in four years. Hurricane Dennis soaked the landscape a few weeks before, and then Floyd dumped 20+ inches of rain. The impacts were devastating: 51 fatalities, about 100 thousand damaged homes, inundated sewage treatment plants, and millions of lost livestock.On the evening of September 17, the day after Floyd's landfall, I met with Eric Tolbert and Gavin Smith in...Posted On: September 19, 2014

love the style and feel of the sweater. my only disappointment is the flaw across the upper front part of the sweater where the knitting machine changed thread - there is a definite line and color change. but for the price and the fact that I'll be layering it under another sweater, I will keep it.

Mobb Deep's Prodigy has confirmed speculation of his beef with Nas being terminated and why their past falling out has now become a distant memory.
According to P, after recently being released from jail, he ironed things out with Nas.
"We've beent talking since I've been home," P told DJ Whoo Kid referring to Nas. "We put that to the side to do this music. This music is crazy right now that we're working on. We did a couple of joints, you know what I'm saying? It's coming out crazy, man. The music is more important than anything, all the little petty bullsh*t, you know what I'm saying? So we good on that…It was all love, because n*ggas came up together. So it's nothing but love when we see each other…" (Radio Planet TV)
Earlier this month, Prodigy and Nas dropped a new collaboration.
Mobb Deep reunites with frequent collaborator Nas on "Dog Sh*t," produced by The Alchemist and Havoc. The dark, hood-friendly joint, which features piano keys fluttering over ominous bass drones, solidifies Prodigy, Havoc, and Nas' gangster mentality. "Dog sh*t, I sh*t you not/ You bring that larceny, danger, or harm around me?/ Dog sh*t, listen to me good/ We the grand goons, just a lick of nickel dime hood," spits P on the chorus, while Nas welcomes his peer back from prison. (Rap-Up)
In 2005, Prodigy spoke to SOHH about not considering Nas his competition while on G-Unit Records.
"There is no real beef with Nas," he told SOHH. "We call him Milkshake. Milkshake's not even no competition no more. We respect him though, because he's from around our way." (SOHH)
Prodigy previously said he warned Nas about Jay-Z wanting to beef with him prior to their 2001 feud.
"So now I ain't peep it back then when ['Where I'm From'] came out, but down the line when I'm in the studio talking to Nas around that time I peeped it," Prodigy said in an interview. "I'm like aww he talking about me in that song yo and he bit our sh*t with the little plastic cups in the hood and if you do the research and history of it, Jay-Z was on some speed boat in the Bahamas Versace type of sh*t. Then 'Shook Ones' came out, then Jay came with the plastic cups, football jerseys in the projects, taking jabs at us and I was like 'Nas, what we need to do is go at these n***as because number one, his lil' man is trying to s**t on you; talking about your life is written and all this s**t. That's when Memphis Bleek was trying to take lil jabs at Nas. I was like these n***as is going at us subliminally and I was like f**k that, we need to go at those n***a. Let's make a song about them, son. And he was like nah nah that n***a ain't nobody to be doing that son. I'm like son I'm telling you its gonna be a problem and he like nah. I'm like aight cool. 'Cause in my mind, I'mma address it on my own anyway. I don't give a f**k what this n***a do. I love you Nas but I'mma handle this 'cause you buggin." (Planet Ill)

In a recent article…Qasim Rashid tries to answer some common questions about Ahmadiyyat. However, his deceit is soooo noticeable…its almost as if Ahmadis are purposely lying about all of their beliefs. Here is a link to his article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/qasim-rashid/10-fabrications-muslim-leaders-need-to-stop-making-about-ahmadi-muslims_b_5854492.html And here is my response…point by point:
1. He never mentions that MGAQ is a new-styled prophet. Why doesnt he tell that? Why would someone leave that out?? Answer: deception. Ahmadis love to send out mix signals. Why doesnt Qasim Rashid simply tell the world that MGAQ is a prophet, a new type of prophet, a type of prophet that never existed in the Quran, Bible or Torah. Ahmadis believe that Muhammad (saw) can make people into prophets, this concept is alien to Islam.
2. Qasim Rashid doesnt even address the writings of MGAQ after 1901, after his claim to prophethood that is and how it evolved….even totally forgets about the quote that WE use wherein a poem was recited in MGAQ's presence wherein the poet claimed that Muhammad (saw) had came again in Qadian. Qasim also leaves out the fact MGAQ claimed to be Muhammad (saw) in total.
3. Qasim Rashid leaves out all the writings of MGAQ in Anjam e Athim, wherein MGAQ insulted Jesus (as) to the highest degree. Why??? Why did MGAQ call the Jesus of the bible as a drunkard, etc?
4. Again, Qasim Rashid quotes writings of MGAQ pre-1901 and ignores the change in belief that occurred in 1901. He thus avoids the entire matter. He also forgets that MGAQ said that if anyone calls him Kafir, that person autmatically becomes Kafir himself. He also forgets to mention the dispute between MGAQ and Dr. Khan and the the words that were exchanged. He also forgets about the article by Mahmud Ahmad in 1911, wherein this very topis is discussed. He also forgets that the Lahoris split away from the Qadianis on this very matter and even claimed that Mahmud Ahmad and his Ahmadis were cery aggressive in their Takfeer.
5. Qasim Rashid forgets that Muslims gave monies to MGAQ in 1878, 1879 etc etc etc towards the publishing og Braheen e Ahamdiyya, 50 volumes worth. It were these people who gave MGAQ the start-up costs to start his business of selling religion. He also forgets that it was the British govt who allowed MGAQ the oppurtunity to make his claim. MGAQ admits to all of this….on top of all of this….in 1857, MGAQ's family helped the British immensely as Muslims rebelled, MGAQ was thus given special treatment, he was even afforded a chair in all of his court cases. SO…..he got special treatment from the British throughout his life.
6. Qasim Rashid very cleverly fails to explain that Ahmadis believe in a new type of prophethood. Thus all the problems his sect if facing in Pakistan. He fails to explain that Ahmadis believe that Muhammad (saw) can make prophets, thus opposing the Quran.
7. Ahmadis are engaged in using the violence against them to gain a competitve advantage. However, they fail to undersand the reasons for the violence. If Ahmadis simply left Pakistan…all of this would be over.
8. Ahmadis offer incentives to join their community. They offer benefits like asylum, etc. They offer a network wherein someone can easily find a job. The list goes on and on.
9. Ahmadis have re-interpretted the Quran, totally against the historical records which describe the context of many verses. And there is a hadith that MGAQ made up…its the hadith about the Messiah coming in the 14th century…which doesnt exist. However, MGAQ wrote it in his books as if it exists.
10. Muslims dont make this allegation. However, the Saudi govt. has banned Ahmadis from entering their country. The USA is a strong ally, and has been since the 1950's or so. And Ahmadis have no problem filling out passport paperwork and ID card paperwork wherein they affirm that they are non-Muslim, however, they willfully boycott all govt. elections and take advantage of their unique position by filing for asylum. Ahmadis contradist themsleves here in sooooo many ways.
10.a. Even though Ahmadis are banned from Mecca, they still enter in defiance and pray seperately to make up for all the false praying.
In conclusion…Qasim Rashid proves again the extent to which Ahmadis are willing to lie, just to promote their religion…what a shame.

Former Tabligh Secretary Leaves Qadianis and Writes to Mirza Masroor Ahmad
A lady who was a Tabligh Secretary in the UK chapter, left the Qadiani Ahmadiyya in disgust at their cult-like practices and beliefs, wrote to Mirza Masroor Ahmad:
From : http://www.islamafterahmadiyya.com/
Osama Syed, a former Qadiani Ahmadi, reverted back to Islam and started a very informative Web site: http://www.islamafterahmadiyya.com/
Here is his letter to Mirza Masroor Ahmad:
by Imam Sheharyar Shaikh
Sunnis and Ahmedis: Brothers in faith? ? was the topic of a debate that occurred on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at Tahir Hall ? a three-storey complex located in the Ahmediyya neighborhood in the city of Vaughn. Before an audience of hundreds, Ansar Raza (Ahmedi) and Sadat Anwar (Sunni Muslim), dealt with a subject that is usually avoided in public forum.
The event started at 5:48 pm with the Quranic recitation (that ominously ended with "And give us victory over the Kafirin.") and continued until 9:30 pm including a 15-minute Q and A session. A final address by Mubarak Nazir, the principal of the Ahmediyya missionary college, formally concluded the evening.
The audience interest was clearly palpable; those who could not find chairs preferred to remain standing the entire time. Young well dressed Ahmedi volunteers led the incoming audience to their seats without hassle. The event was well organized, timely and had no hooting, jeering, name-calling or untoward disturbances. Not only each member of the audience was provided free Ahmediyya literature, but the evening ended with snacks and refreshments amid a lively, open yet civil discussion on the main differences between the two faiths (The debate can be viewed at http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1970046/events/2627938
Since they lost the debate with me in early 2011, Ansar Raza and the Qadiani Ahmadiyya have been desperately trying to arrange other debates so that they can wash off that defeat. They run away from well-known people and try to trap lesser-known people with strange topics — but as Allah would have it — every Muslim debater is well-versed in his deen and has the confidence of logic and truth on his side.
After the ignominious defeat to Sadat Anwar, they are again trying to hold an event. We will not go into the detail of this future debate until it is formalized, but for now, please read the email conversation of them eager to hold a debate and then running away from a Quran scholar who was in Canada and who shares some beliefs about Jesus (as) with the Qadianis. What better person to debate with, and why did they run away? Read below and let us know what you think and please give them some advice:
Qadianis say they want to debate Scholars. Scholars show up and they run away. Lay people show up and they lose!

Sixth Annual Passion for Freedom Art Festival Launches in London
The 6th annual Passion for Freedom Art Festival takes place in London from 5th -15th November in the Embassy Tea Gallery (close to Tate Modern) in London. The annual festival is a rare collection of works of "courageous artists" who have answered three pivotal questions: What is freedom? How easy is it to lose it? How difficult is it to get it back?
This year at the festival there will be collection of 15 films, 10 books, 10 journalists and 51 artworks from all over the world: Peru, Venezuela, Iran, Israel, Syria, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, USA & Australia. The youngest artist is 18 years old, the oldest – 64. Some of the artists use pseudonyms because of threats imposed on them, some of them can't come because they are imprisoned, cannot leave their country or cannot give interviews.
The founding body comprises of a group of friends of different nationalities, predominantly Polish, Hungarian, Russian and Danish, who for the last 6 years have been saying, "We are checking the status of freedom of speech and artistic expression in Europe". They have clear message – promotion and protection of human rights using the means of aesthetic expression. The festival itself, which is in direct contrast with the political correctness so prevalent within our society, is growing in recognition and prestige. The PFF Festival is supported by world-famous artists such as Ai Weiwei, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou and Iranian director Jafar Panahi.
Ai Weiwei as we all know is a Chinese artist and performer who posted a blog report exposing the corruption within the Chinese Communist Party and challenging the government over the poor construction of schools in Sichuan, which led to death of more than 5 thousands pupils. In 2011 he was kept imprisoned for 81 days without any official charges and beaten by the police officers. Even today he can't travel or give interviews as a result of alleged business fraud.
29 years old Mehdi-Georges Lahlou of French and Moroccan origin in one of his artworks presents fragments of the Quran and the Bible depicted on a naked body. In many Muslim countries and in Morocco itself his art hailed a storm of protests and death threats, even though his works have not been shown there.
Jafar Panahi, the Iranian director, has been imprisoned more than once for promoting women's freedom and for his anti-Iranian activities and convicted for the films he made. Since the trial he can only make his movies in his own apartment and he solely can be his own protagonist. Everyone who has worked with him has been harassed and now has restrictions on leaving Iran.
This year 3 general awards as well as Freedom Film Award will be given for art and film productions. Also during the Private View the audience will have a chance to choose their favourite piece of art and give People's Choice Freedom Award. The jury panel comprises of: Gary Hill – one of the most prominent American artists in video art, Sarah Maple – a provocative young British artist, Deeyah Khan – Iranian pop star and activist anointed by the media as the "Muslim Madonna", Lee Weinberg – curator, art researcher and lecturer at Goldsmith University
For the first time this year along with films, sculpture, painting, photography and installations there will be 10 books and 10 journalists recognised (3 British, 2 Russian, 2 Canadian, 1 Danish, 1 Polish and 1 Indian) during the Festival.
In 2003 an Islamist disguised as a postman tried to kill Lars Hedegaard in his home. He did not succeed and the assailant fled. Danish Prime Minister condemned the attack saying that the attempt to assassinate a journalist was highly serious as its motive was aimed not only at Hedegaard, but also at damaging his work defending freedom of speech.
Special Guest Artists include: Miriam Elia – is a visual artist and Sony nominated surreal comedy writer. After graduation from the Royal College of Art her diverse work has included illustrated books such as 'We go to the gallery' and 'The Diary of Edward the Hamster,' as well as prints, drawings, short films, radio comedy and animations.
Daniel Arzola - coming out as a gay in Turmero, Venezuela, was a nightmare. Daniel's graduation project consisted of series of posters sending out strong messages against homophobic bullying. With his country hit by deep political, economic and social crisis, Daniel is considering moving to Argentina. His life is in danger in Venezuela. Being a human rights activist in Venezuela equals being a public enemy.

Painterly Dogg, Doggy Dogg: Snoop Shills Swedish Socks in Salacious Studio Scene
4 hyperallergic by Benjamin Sutton on October 28, 2014
"My process when I get ready to paint? I definitely gotta have a blunt, because the blunt is inspiration to the creation," so says Snoop Dogg during a new commercial for a Swedish sock company that placed the rap legend in a studio equipped with your typical art-making paraphernalia: blank walls, blank canvases, paint, brushes, spray paint cans, tennis balls, water guns, boxing gloves, water balloons, three skimpily clad assistants, and at least one blunt.
The erstwhile Snoop Lion's works appear to fall predominantly in an abstract vein, borrowing from the canonical Ab Ex painters like Jackson Pollock as well as more contemporary figures like Julian Schnabel. Despite their non-figurative imagery, Snoop's paintings are informed by very real, lived experiences
Though this marks — as far as we know — Snoop's debut as a painter, he appears to be just as confident in the work coming out of his painting studio as he is of the pieces he makes in the recording studio. Not surprising, considering that a painting he made earlier this year sold for $10,200 on eBay. In fact, Snoop seems so confident in his art, you might say he's ego trippin'
In other words, be on the lookout for Snoop's paintings in Miami in December

Five Rules for Viewing a Gallery
The trigger of this article is our recent show at ArtXpert. Being sick and tired of people coming to visit the gallery just because, sometime we offer good quality wine and service, and not because they really have a strong interest in the artist displayed we decided to share with those five steps when you visit a gallery:
1. Take Time
… lots of it, because you'll need it. The most important thing when visiting a museum is to see as much artwork as possible, since, let's be honest, you don't manage to go that often, do you? Yeah, didn't think so.
The best way to ensure that you see enough art is to set an Instagram quota for yourself for the day's visit. Think about how many photos you posted on your last art outing and try to up the number by some reasonable amount, like 10. Bonus points if all the photos are selfies, but keep in mind that this might be difficult to achieve if you don't have enough selfie experience. Maybe try starting with a selfie with every work in one specific gallery, for instance. Be aware of your strengths and limitations, and of those of your Insta followers. #awesome
In order to leave yourself enough time, line up at the entrance to the museum at least half an hour before opening time. Plan to spend the entire day with frequent breaks and trips to the various cafes and restaurants within the institution, since food is the new art anyway. Make sure to Instagram those meals, too — your warm goat cheese and toasted walnut salad alongside your favorite newly discovered Minimalist sculpture might make make for a slightly ironic but also intriguing visual comparison.
2. Bring a Friend
For art critics, the way to process art is through writing; for laypeople, it's through talking. Bring a friend or a date to help you talk your way through whatever art you're planning to see — conversation in front of a painting inevitably produces fresh insights. If you can't find an equal, think about bringing a child, either your own or one borrowed from a friend. You'll be amazed at what thoughtful art viewers kids can make.
If that's not an option either, visit alone but plan to be bold and make acquaintances (famous artworks are best for this: there's always a crowd around the "Mona Lisa"). This has its advantages: strangers can offer perspectives you might never even dream up — plus, you never know what might happen. A long, involved, unbelievably romantic story of how you met your future spouse while seeing art will make for a great entry on your future wedding website.
3. Go with an Open Mind
And by that I mean really open. Some people say you have to read and learn about art to understand it, but that's really only if you're a critic or an academic. Everyone else (the lucky bastards) gets to just see and experience art, rather than having to think about it so hard. If you've looked at the work and still want to know more, read the wall label. If that's not enough, you could consider a docent-led tour, definitely a good way to meet people and engage in conversation.
But there are more interesting and original ways to open yourself up to art and commune with it. Try talking to the work, or moving around in front of it, letting your limbs lead you into a freeform improvisational dance. If you see a vibrant red and it inspires lust, run with it. Find a way to express the feelings the art stirs within you before, like everything else, they're gone.
Later, when the museum's about an hour from closing time, visit the gift shop. Try to find the mouse pad, calendar, umbrella, watch, or water bottle that most embodies your experience that day, and buy five of them: one for you, four to share with your closest friends who really get you.
4. Don't Worry Much about Remembering Things
Back in the day before the internet, people had to remember any and everything they thought was worthwhile — texts, how to cook a chicken, their age, etc. Now that the digital blessings of computers and smartphones have been bestowed upon us, we're able to free up that memory space for day-to-day minutiae, like whether or not we forgot to turn off the stove last night.
The same applies to art: it used to be you had to remember the names of specific pieces and artists you like, but thankfully now it's all just a Google Image search away! Instagram also comes into play here: the more photos of artworks you post, the fewer you'll have to remember. This is also why it's good to visit with a friend — if you can't remember enough to get a solid Google/Google Image search going, just text them. Between the two of you, you might just be able to figure out who made that immersive installation filled with found trash, flickering lights, and taxidermy that you took selfies in and what it was called.
5. Seek Out Art that Fits Your World View
These days there's so much art being made and shown, it can be hard to know where to start. I find it's always good to seek out art that reflects your own ethos and approach to life. Art can be many things, but it's probably most effective when it's a mirror — either literal or figurative — reflecting yourself and your ideas back at you. If you're into abstract art but find its politics hard to decipher, just look at the institution that's showing it and you should get some answers.
Some say art is meant to be beautiful; others argue it should seek to enlighten or enliven. It doesn't really matter what camp you're in as long as you're in one. Seeing art is worthless until you walk away with four things: a story to share about your experience, an opinion about what it meant, a larger lesson to draw from it, and at least one Instagram. This is how you effectively view art in the age of social media.

UK Copyright Law Gets Exception for Parody
by Jillian Steinhauer
A series of updates to UK copyright law are scheduled to go into effect tomorrow, finally allowing for the use of copyrighted material in the creation of parody, the BBC reported. The country's copyright law does not currently include a fair use ("fair dealing," in British parlance) exception for satire, an omission that's left many artists, musicians, and others vulnerable to legal action.
One of those artists is Miriam Elia, who, upon release of her parody children's book We Go to the Gallery earlier this year, faced a slew of legal threats from Penguin UK, the publisher of the original book series on which Elia modeled her work. Elia says Penguin finally backed off after she stopped replying to the company's "endless threatening letters."
In theory, her work should be protected by the new law, which states specifically that "fair dealing with a work for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche does not infringe copyright in the work." Asked about the exception, Elia told Hyperallergic, "I would say the law change is a great leap forward for the art of satire."
But, as she and others have also pointed out, the update is far from comprehensive. There's no change, for instance, to the status of "moral rights," under which a copyright holder can object to "derogatory treatment of the work." This provides plenty of ground for lawsuits, whose outcomes will be determined by judges ruling on whether the works in question meet the legal standard of a parody. The International Business Times (IBT) explains:
Judges presiding over parody court cases will have to refer to a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which on Sept. 4 defined parody for the first time. Under that definition, a parody has to "constitute an expression of humor or mockery."Elia echoed these concerns in her email to Hyperallergic: "Will the judge laugh at the work? What if the jury find the work funny, but the judge doesn't? Will we need specialist comedy courts for future infringement cases?" (Maybe not such a bad idea.)
Ciara Cullen, a senior associate at the London law firm RPC, said that subjective definition will leave much to the individual tastes of U.K. judges.
Speaking to IBT, one half of the English music and comedy duo Cassetteboy noted as well that although parody will be allowed under the new law, mashups still won't be (unless they're funny). US law, on the other hand, identifies fair use based on four tenets including "the purpose and character of the use," which is commonly understood to be the extent of the transformation from the original.

LANDOVER, Md (WUSA) - Prince George's County police say they have the second suspect in custody who was involved in the crash that ended an officer's life.

Deceased Maryland Officer Ejected During Crash
Police say they have Kevon Neal, who was wanted in connection with Officer Adrian Morris' death earlier this week. They will release more information this afternoon.
Police say he was the driver in the car chase that killed Officer Morris. Morris and his police partner had chased after the suspects in a theft at a gas station in Laurel. The suspects in the stolen car were speeding down Interstate 95 in Laurel and Beltsville crossing all lanes of traffic, according to police.
"The citizens on the Beltway make maneuvers, breaking, swerving, stopping to avoid colliding with the suspect vehicle causing a chain reaction," Major Mike Straughan said.
The chain reaction reportedly caused Officer Morris to lose control. His cruiser flipped several times before landing upright in a ravine.
Police located the stolen car in Southeast D.C. Hours later they arrested 25-year-old Kenneth Clark Mitchell of Northeast Washington who police say was the passenger.
As of now, the two suspects are charged with felony theft.
Prince George's County Police say there will be a moment of silence on Saturday at the Redskins preseason game.
