Dear Glenview Families,
The Glenview Elementary PTA welcomes all new and returning families to the 2015- 2016 school year! The National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) was created in 1897 and continues to be the only organization whose one goal is to support children. As the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation, PTA reminds our country of its obligations to children and provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child. When government budgets get tight and our leaders look to education for cuts, PTA represents our children to ensure that their interests are not overlooked. Additional information about the National PTA is available at www.nationalpta.org.
Locally, Glenview PTA provides our students with many programs, services, and events to enrich the excellent education they receive in their classrooms. While your membership fee does not pay for this enrichment, it creates the infrastructure to provide it. Our strength is in our membership numbers on all levels—national, state, and local.
· Individual PTA Membership - $10.00
· Platinum Membership - $100.00
· Gold Membership - $50.00
· Silver Membership - $20.00
Teachers, moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and older siblings—anyone who cares about kids can join the PTA. Every member makes the organization stronger!
Our membership drive is not a fundraiser. A portion of each membership fee is passed on to the State and National PTA to pay for your membership in those organizations. The rest of each Individual Membership stays at Glenview to help fund Glenview's website, assemblies, student awards, field trips, and Carnival, just to name a few areas the PTA supports.
Paid members will receive a membership card that can be activated at pta.org/activate. Let's make it a family affair—Every PTA membership strengthens our ability to advocate for our children.
Thank you,
Ellen Battles
Glenview PTA Membership Chair
Membership envelopes can be picked up in the office.

Who Wants to Remember Bill Cosby's Multiple Sex-Assault Accusations?
The thing about Dylan Farrow's open letter accusing her father, Woody Allen, of sexual abuse is: There was not much really new about it. It was new that Dylan Farrow herself was signing her name to the accusations, but Vanity Fair had covered the case, in grim detail, more than two decades ago.

|"Sleeping Elephant"
"If you get to Sleeping Elephant you've gone too far, but if you don't get to the Kinnikinic Store you're not quite there". Advice I received from the easily excited shop employee, as he restocked a dwindling supply of streamer hooks. This type of advice is given in such a manner that both heightens your sense of curiosity, but also makes you intriguingly suspicious. So like any fly fisherman worth his or her salt, the plan was made, and the run up the canyon was set.
I hadn't been fishing particularly well as of late, but with some friends coming into town this weekend, I felt the need to go scout some water before their arrival. And seeking redemption from my last "guiding" experience, the pressure of putting others on fish has slowly been building over the past week or so. So as surely as these exploits will be written about, I do not want to be the one who has their invite "lost in the mail" for future outings.
The changing season could be felt as the soft autumn wind brushed the tops of the knee high grass. And taking notice of the leaves that had started to change from green to gold, I walked in harmony with both wind and magic. The meadow opened up before me, embracing me, guiding me to a river I thought I knew. So, like a college freshman returning home for Thanksgiving, I walked through its doors. Expecting things to be the same, but wary of the time away.
The size 10 Dave's Hopper hung up in the grass on the far bank for a split second before it fell with a subtle splash inches from the water's edge. The momentary pause of the faux bug was the last look I got before an angry swirl engulfed the fly.
Laughing…I set the hook.

Here you can get hummus, baba ghanouj, Greek salads, kabobs, fresh octopus, plus some Italian pastas, antipasto and sandwiches. Theres wonderful gelato for dessert, plus decent espresso. The restaurant was still waiting for a liquor license when it opened. Call ahead to see if you need to bring your own wine, theres a convenience store across the street, with a limited selection. A hop, skip and jump from Waikiki and theres nothing this price this good in Waikiki, including breakfast, which is essentially American except for the Moroccan lamb sausage with scrambled eggs.

At this years ADCC competition, Rob SPIDER DI Cenzo stepped on the ADCC mats for the first time,
The grappling scene worldwide is growing and growing all the time. At the recent ADCC competition in Long Beach, the world's best grapplers met and fought and battled hard. With names like Vieira and Gracie and Jacare all winning the titles as expected. But what is never expected are the alternates or up and coming fighters to do so well in the competition. Last ADCC a 3rd round alternate named Marcelo Garcia amazed everyone by winning the event and gaining praise for his technical skills.
At this years ADCC competition, Rob SPIDER DI Cenzo stepped on the ADCC mats for the first time, and was able to make it to the semifinals and gain a fourth round finish. Although he did not win his division, he was able to display his technical level and submit the highly skilled Alberto Crane and also defeat Gilbert Melendez (who defeated Baret Yoshida).
For SPIDER's fans back home in Canada, not too many were surprised but rather just happy for the soft spoken grappler who has been tearing up the Canadian grappling circuit everytime he has competed.
BALEIA)Rob, how long have you been training BJJ and where do you train?
SPIDER) I've been training for about 9 years now. I train @ Toronto BJJ with my trainers Joey Scardamaglia, JP Callipo and Wagenny Fabiano.
BALEIA)How did you first get started into BJJ?
SPIDER) My friends started training before me. They used to have matches after school on the soccer field. I watched a couple matches then Jumped in. After my friend kicked my ass, I asked him where I can sign up.
BALEIA)How did you end up geting into the ADCC?
SPIDER) I got an invite 4 days prior to the tournament as an alternate.
BALEIA)What was your experience like there and how did it feel to take on ADCC champ Leo Vieira?
SPIDER) For me it was an amazing experience. I thought it was pretty cool how all these world class fighters all have there own way of warming up and getting in the zone before the matches. I felt
pretty calm fighting Leo Viera. He is the one fighter I really wanted to test myself agianst. I lost the match but I did some good things during that time.
BALEIA)Were you at all nervous at the tournament?
SPIDER) I was most nervous in my first fight with Alberto Crane. Every fight after that I felt more and more comfortable and I was able to focus on my game.
BALEIA)Did you learn anything from your ADCC experience?
SPIDER) I learned a lot of things that weekend. I tried to pick up as much as I could from the other compeditors. I learned how to cut the weight properly and how to prepare myself mentally before a match. That weekend also made me realize how important conditioning is.
BALEIA)Who impressed you the most at ADCC?
SPIDER) Marcelo Garcia hands down. He's always looking for the finish and he constantly pushes the match.
BALEIA)Where did you get the nickname Spider?
SPIDER) I got the Name Spider when I first started BJJ because I was very flexible. I was always stuck in these wierd positions. First they called me Spaghetti man, then Slimmer until finally Spider.
BALEIA)Do you have any plans to enter MMA in the future?
SPIDER) In terms of MMA, I can't give a definate yes or no. I just have to see what options are available to me.

Liked your UI alot.Originally Posted by weedos
I looked at your Addons folder which you posted. Have a huge problem setting up your UI since I cant find half of those addons on either Curse, Wowace or Wowinterface.
Could you do us all a favor and zip your Interface and WTF folders and upload em to filefront or something?
I got plenty of free time atm. If you type down the addons you can't find I'll give you all the links I can find.

Only thing I can find on Skada is some damage stuff. And I cant see which font addon he is using either.Originally Posted by miLl3niUm
Also, if you look at the distance between his Player Frame and Target Frame it looks like he has managed to tweak Caellian so you can move em. Which requires coding, and I am not smart enough to do that.
I do only believe that the only way to get a UI to like exactly like that is for Weedos to upload his Interface and WTF folder
Hey guys thanks for the feedback.
The font used in this Wip is Emblem, I don't use any addons to manage my fonts, simply switched Blizz ones + Sharedmedia.
You are right about my oUF layout, it's a modified version of oUF_Caellian.
Also the box that looks like Omen is simply Skada damage meters, a lightweight alternative to Recount, when in Combat it switches to Threat.
Some of those addons don't have a GUI, you need to tweak them via LUA.
Click here to download.
PS: This WIP was made for the lowest UI scale and a resolution of 1650x1080.
Also do not update any addons or it will screw up the UI, I've made 1 library folder so every ace addon load from there instead of loading the files over and over (embeded).
So my UI disease hits again >.< I saw a layout i liked a bit and wanted to try it out. Heres the outcome.

After Miley Cyrus dressed up as Lil' Kim for Halloween, it was only a matter of time before the pair collaborated together. Kim's dropping a mixtape called Hardcore 2K13 at some stage (it's already been pushed back several times), and Miley's listed as a feature on one of the tracks called "Bad Bitch."
Under normal circumstances the union of two of the most ratchet women to ever rule popular music would be something to celebrate, but judging by what we've heard from Hardcore 2K13 so far, this collaboration will probably be a stinker. "Looks Like Money" was absolute trash, and a new song from the mixtape that just dropped online, "Kimmy Blanco," is even worse.

Classes by Paul Klee
The painter Paul Klee came to the Bauhaus in December of 1920 as a master of form. From 1921 to 1931, he taught his theory of design in a component of the preliminary course. He supervised the bookbinding, glass painting and weaving workshops at various times. Other than Kandinsky, Klee was the master who had the longest association with the Bauhaus and most decisively influenced it.
Paul Klee essentially developed his theory of art during his time at the Bauhaus. In 1920, in his book on the theory of art, Creative Confession, he stated, "Art does not reproduce the visible but makes it visible."
Many other essays and lectures on art education and theory followed, while Klee taught at the Bauhaus: about the study of nature, the creative mindset and form theory. In 1925, the foundations of his design theory were published as the second of the Bauhaus books (Pedagogical Sketchbook). Klee's colour and form theories were an elementary part of the preliminary course. Their contents reached the majority of Bauhaus students between 1921 and 1931.
Influenced by the theories of Goethe, Runge, Delacroix and Kandinsky, Klee developed his own colour theory based on a six-part rainbow shaped into a colour wheel. He placed the complementary colours in relation to movements that interact with one another, which shows this theory is based on dynamic transitions. For Klee, because art and theory were inseparably linked, the element of movement flowed into the compositions of his colour gradations and Quadrat (square) paintings.
In the nine lessons of his form theory, Klee explored works of art with regard to "the stages of [their] creation". The point that sets itself in motion stood at the beginning of his considerations and the movement of colour as part of this process at their conclusion.
As a master of form, Klee was initially the head of the bookbinding workshop. Due to his experiences with reverse painting on glass, he subsequently became the head of the glass-painting workshop. From 1923, he was head of the course Elementary design theory of surfaces for the second semester. At times, he also taught life drawing. In Dessau, from 1926, Klee taught a painting class at his own request. In 1927, he also taught form theory in the weaving workshop after the departure of Georg Muche, where he taught his colour theory and gave lessons on the design of surfaces. His teaching aspired to the "development of multiplicity into unity". Klee's influence on the expression of form in the weaving workshop played a large role in shaping this workshop.
In his approach to art, Klee attempted to avoid dogma of all kinds. He aimed to teach the foundations of colour and form to the students so that they could continue to work with these elements on an individual basis. There were no difficult discussions about radical life concepts of the sort entertained by Johannes Itten, because Klee always strove for harmony. Due to his pleasant but profound way of imparting knowledge, he was known at the Bauhaus as the "magician".

|A Differential Graded Approach to Derived Manifolds
|GAP Seminar
|David Carchedi, Max Planck Bonn and Berkeley
|Given two smooth maps of manifolds $f:M \to L$ and $g:N \to L,$ if they are not transverse, the fibered product $M \times_L N$ may not exist, or may not have the expected dimension. In the world of derived manifolds, such a fibered product always exists as a smooth object, regardless of transversality. In fact, every (quasi-smooth) derived manifold is locally of this form. In this talk, we briefly explain what derived manifolds ought to be, why one should care about them, and how one can describe them. We end by explaining a bit of our joint work with Dmitry Roytenberg in which we make rigorous some ideas of Kontsevich to give a simple model for derived intersections as certain differential graded manifolds. Time permitting, we will compute some examples.

My trusty Epson R2400 has stopped accepting sheets of paper. Either the sheets are taken in to the printer and then spit back out without printing, or the printer just doesn't take the sheets--I get print feed error messages in both cases (and I think I'm running through ink with each error message). All the sheets were letter-size.
Does anyone have suggestions for how I can get the printer to accept paper?
Best, David.
My Epson does not pull the paper A3 + anymore and I get the dreaded 'media out'... I have reloaded the Drivers/ re-started my Mac nothing works ....
Will the trick with the damp cloth work ? and what do you actually do. ? Regards

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State focused its work Saturday on one end of the field.
The Bulldogs, in their 11th practice of the preseason, began installing their red zone offensive packages. What offensive coordinator Les Koenning was looking for above all else was some quick thinking, especially from the quarterbacks.
"Some of the biggest things about quarterback play, everybody is excited about a guy that can throw the football, everybody is excited about a guy that can run the football," Koenning said. "That's really big. But the major issues are the decision-making processes. How quick can you make those decisions and can you make them correctly?"
Fourth-year junior Tyler Russell, who's taking over the starting job this year, had to work out some kinks Saturday.
"He still was a little bit slow at times," Koenning said. "There were a couple of times I wish he had pulled the trigger earlier, but he's getting familiar again to going at this speed."
Russell's backup, Dak Prescott, has even further to go in his red zone efficiency. But the redshirt freshman is expected to play this year, and as a dual-threat QB could be a valuable weapon inside the 20-yard line.
He just has to catch up mentally.
"As a quarterback that's the hardest thing to replicate, get those game situations and see it, see it, see it," Koenning said. "That's what we're doing right now. It was a really good scrimmage. You get out of the huddle and let the kids lead."

Apollo Nida will be seen on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" when the cast gets together for the reunion show, but his big news is off the set. The husband of Phadrea Parks has a deadline that could decide his fate of the future. According to Enstarz on Friday, the reality star has until April 25 to decide whether he will take a plea deal surrounding alleged charges of identity theft and other charges.
The decision of what Apollo Nida might do has fans curious as his time is running out before a trial would be started and a plea deal offer taken away. LALate is reporting on Thursday that the reality star has been considering his options. The prosecutor of the case has a strong reputation to get convictions and it might be the best option for the reality star to take a plea deal.
The story line on the reality show between Apollo Nida and Kenya Moore definitely has been making headlines as well. Phaedra Parks has called it "Text-gate" and it relates to text messages sent between Kenya and Apollo quite a while ago. Kenya has been intensely keeping the issue alive and has offered more drama between all three cast members as the season of "RHOA" has played out. However, Radar Online reported that Parks put her difference aside when Moore's dog died.
What will happen to Apollo Nida? While most fans assume there will be a decision by the end of the week, few think the alleged charges will go to trial Even so, Nida has two children and a wife to take care of so his final decision doesn't just impact him, but also his family.
Apollo Nida will be seen on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and everyone assumes that Andy will be asking about the status of his criminal case.

On Valorizing Gay Marriage: A Response to Wesley Hill
A better approach is for us to caution as brothers and sisters in the Lord: We appreciate your faithfulness to Christ in abstaining from sexual immorality and your service of the church through your writings. Yet we are concerned that elements of an un-renewed, fleshly mentality permeate some of your thinking about "gay coupling."

[Bumped For Very Obvious Reasons] 8.5 Things I Rejoice In This Post-Election Day
5) This isn't the Episcopal Church. Our country is far juster, far more interested in the rule of law, far more stable, far more popular, far less vicious, and far more conservative. It is completely within our power as conservatives—with God's help—to transform this country's political landscape if we so choose. It will be very hard and very long. The next two years will be appallingly painful. Every week or month, we'll be reminded of the judgement of God—and our challenge will be not to get angry, or despairing, or inactive, but rather to humble ourselves all over again, repent, acknowledge the horrible consequences of our compromises, corruption, passivity, and loss of principle, and continue turning away from the wrong path and seeking the right one.
Restarting the Game: Archbishop Welby Attempts To Hit The Reset Button
It's not a question of "how will the Communion divide"—that division, albeit internal, has already occurred. The further question is not "how can we all live together in the midst of our profound disagreements" but is rather "what is to be done with the Provinces which have engaged in intrinsically communion-dividing actions?"
Got Ice Water?
The idea that we shouldn't be able to indulge in something silly like the ice-water challenge because millions of African children are dying of thirst, says nothing about the wastefulness of Americans, and everything about the utter inability of Africa to take care of itself.
The utilitarian unity of burning at the stake and abortion

60 Theses on Real Integrity in the Anglican Church
The refusal to affirm a truth (particularly when it is a truth about God) is often just another way of denying it, but without taking responsibility for your denial. This is therefore a double dishonesty which only compounds the deceit.

How Big is that Lamy in the Window?
As my Lamy collection continues to grow, I though it was time to do a quick size comparison.
Capped- top to bottom - Lamy Studio, Accent, Safari, AL-Star. All are very similar in length but quite a difference in width.
Posted- (cap on back of pen) look how long the Accent is, it's as long as the Safari.
Unposted, the Accent is the smallest. Notice all the different pen grips.
Stay tuned for the review of the Lamy Accent.

How Much Does a Cruise Wedding Cost?
Cruise weddings have been gaining popularity across the world, especially among adventurous couples who want to have their event be special and unique. Perhaps the idea of having a built-in honeymoon, excursions, sightseeing, and touring rolled into one package makes it attractive, not to mention cost-effective.
Unlike in the not-so-distant past when a destination wedding was unheard of, many companies now are designing special wedding packages. The weddings can be performed on board the ship in a public room on cruise ships. However, the wedding could also be performed at a port of call or even somewhere on one of the islands the ship visits.
How much does it cost?
- On average, depending on the destination, the price for a wedding package on board a cruise ship can range from $800 to $5,500 per couple. However, these prices can be significantly higher depending on the circumstances and conditions. This is for the wedding only and does not include cruise tickets or any other travel expenses. See the extra costs below.
- Vow renewal packages can range from $200 to $700 depending on the setup that is needed.
- A wedding on board a cruise ship can start at $795, according to a Cruisecritic.com.
- Princess.com offers three wedding packages, namely: The Tie the Knot at Sea, Tie the Knot Harborside, and Tie the Knot Ashore. The Tie the Knot at Sea costs $2,266, while the prices for the two other wedding packages vary according to the port of call where the ceremony is going to be held. Below are the different prices for Tie the Knot Harborside and Tie the Knot Ashore:
- Antigua — $1,800 to $2,600
- Aruba — $1,800 to $2,800
- Bermuda — $2,800 to $4,900
- Cozumel — $2,100 to $2,800
- Ft. Lauderdale — $1,700
- Grand Cayman — $2,000 to $2,800
- Juneau — $1,900 to $2,800
- Honolulu — $2,000
- Jamaica — $2,000 to $2,600
- Nassau — $2,100 to $2,800
- New York — $2,500
- Seattle — $1,800
- St. Thomas — $1,900 to $2,500
- St. Kitts — $2,100 to $2,800
- St. Lucia — $2,100 to $2,600
- St. Maarten — $2,300 to $3,100
What is going to be included?
- If the wedding is held off of the ship, it will usually be done on an island.
- The wedding can be held in a lounge, library or a boardroom. But if the ship has a chapel, the ceremony can be held there.
- Many wedding packages can include the following amenities, for example:
- Wedding chapel or any of the onboard location
- Candlelit ceremony
- Ship captain to perform the ceremony
- Special vows at sea
- Wedding coordinator onboard
- Pre-recorded ceremony music
- Two fresh floral arrangements to decorate the location of the wedding ceremony
- A dozen of rose bouquet
- Boutonniere
- Photographer
- One 16×20 canvas wall portrait
- 9-inch wedding cake
- A bottle of champagne
- Two champagne flutes from Princess
- Memento wedding certificate
What are the extra costs?
- The cost of the wedding itself is separate from the cost of the cruise. The cost of a cruise can range from $300 to $1000 per person. This will depend on the room you choose (you may want a nicer room since it is your honeymoon as well) and the time of year.
- Each guest will be responsible for his room and board. If you have family members traveling with you, they will need to book the cruise in the same way you do.
- You may also want to have some fresh flower arrangements and decorations that can be considered an additional cost. The cruise ship can usually take care of this since it would be hard to transport this type of thing.
- Reception and wedding cakes are also another extra expense.
- Transportation to getting to the port will not be provided. You may also need to fly to get to the city in which the port is located, and you may need to pay for a hotel.
- Licensing fees can range from $200 to $500.
Factors that influence the price:
- The wedding costs vary depending on where you want to hold the occasion.
- An elaborate and farther from the cruise ship wedding event is more expensive than at sea or at the harbor side.
- Other contributing factors that affect the cost of a cruise wedding include the grade cabin you choose, the number of guests, shore excursions, and the length of the cruise.
Tips to know:
- A cruise wedding is the easiest kind of destination wedding to prepare because there are already companies that organize such events. You just have to consult any of them and they will do the rest for you. If choosing a cruise ship wedding, choose a carrier that has wedding packages that are already put together.
- Cruise lines to consider include Carnival, Celebrity, Azamara and Royal Caribbean.
- Wedding ceremonies can be held in any of the ports of call. Keep in mind that some port of calls can be skipped due to the violent weather.
- Couples can also renew their marriage vows on board a cruise ship.
How can I save money?
- It is cheaper to hold the wedding event at sea rather than a port of call..
- Choose a cheaper grade cabin and minimize the number of your guests so you may cut down on your cruise wedding expenses.
- As with any vacation, be sure to compare prices with a handful of cruise lines.

There are several theories going around when talking about crew upgrades, but what I'd like to know are the befefits of upgrading the crew qualification.
I know that for Expert qualification (1st level) +30 bonus to the Keen Vision, Visibility, Fire Accuracy, Fire Precision, Repair Speed and Reload Speed.
But what does the next one give you? And how many more are after that.
Is it worth dumping points into stuff just to go for these early on?

Potential Delays in Visa Issuance and at Ports of Entry
There are a number of factors that may contribute to delays in having a visa issued to study or work in the United States, regardless of whether you are applying for first or subsequent visa in any visa classification. This has a result of heightened security measures instituted since September 11, 2001.
Security checks and the requirement to have an appointment for an interview are the primary causes for delays. The Department of State's (DOS) web information on non-immigrant visas is a good source of current information:
Another useful source is the the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Although directed to those arriving in J-1 Exchange Visitor status, their fact sheet Arriving at a U.S. Port Of Entry...What an Exchange Visitor Can Expect highlights the necessary steps and procedures you will encounter when passing through immigration inspection upon arrival at the U.S. port of entry.

A title like Watch The Throne was basically a millennial take on 2Pac's All Eyez On Me concept. Both suggest that when these men speak, people drop everything and listen. This was true in 2Pac's era, and it has most certainly been proven true over the last few weeks for Jay-Z and Kanye West. The spiritual siblings abruptly announced new solo albums, releasing them with no singles, videos, or other conventional forms of promotion.
These are the "Hashtag-New-Rules" that Jay-Z teased, by instead taking a never-seen-before, unconventional route. That is, finishing the album, announcing it via TV spots during the NBA Finals, and then distributing it for free via a Samsung smartphone ap on the 4th of July. This, coupled with Kanye's coverless, experimental "fuck you" LP, Yeezus, which only was previewed through an SNL performance and by projecting the songs on sides of buildings in several major metropolitan cities. Yeah, streets is watching the throne.
However these bold, outlandish 48 laws of power moves set the bar extremely high, as if it weren't already in the stratosphere via both artists' catalog of classics. Treating these albums as an event; much different than the way their peers just sort of annually throw things out, make these the summer blockbusters of rap music, which like say, Man Of Steel, can leave audiences divided.
The sound of Magna Carta Holy Grail is laid back and subdued. It's a true blue rap record, unlike Kanye's Yeezus, and almost a realized, real life sequel to Reasonable Doubt; one where he is living the dream that he fantasized about on his debut. Largely produced by Timbaland – alongside Swizz Beats, Pharrell, and overseer Rick Rubin – this is Jay at his highest point: rich beyond belief, status in the stratosphere, and the hottest chick in the game carrying his last name.
Themes of wealth and fame are explored at length, as the album kicks off with "Holy Grail" with Justin Timberlake, perhaps the album's most fully realized tune, and a fine start to the LP. He doesn't shy away for his love for material things as both "Picasso Baby" and "Tom Ford", name dropping some items you might find around his house, ironically doing so over raw hip-hop production. Hardly the kind of stuff you'd hear while shopping The Forum at Caesar's.
The album's laid back pace both helps and hinders Magna Carta Holy Grail. He never seems to go for an celebratory club banger like "Big Pimpin'" or "N****s In Paris", nor does he go for arena anthems like "Empire State Of Mind" or "PSA". That being said, given his catalog of hits, upon first listen, you are almost looking for that one track that stands out among the rest. But it's not here, as the album is seemingly meant to be taken as a whole.
Once you've figured that out, the album can be enjoyed, despite it's strange pacing and arrangement. There are great cuts on here like "Beach Is Better" and "Versus", both which clock in at under one minute each, unfortuantely cutting off just as you are getting into them. The same can be said for "Somewhereinamerica", which sounds like something DJ Premier produced for Jeru in 1994, if Dr. Dre remixed it in 2001. The beat is so dope, you forgive it for only being 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and for the inexplicable Miley Cyrus lyrical validation stamp.
But when the album does go for the heavier material, it really does deliver. "Fuckwithmeyouknowigotit" is light on subject matter, but beefy in production, as Rick Ross backs up Jay with an addictive hook, preceded by words from the ghost of Pimp C. Later on "Heaven", Jay silences all theories of devil worshipping and illuminati conspiracies, by simply renouncing any kind of religion completely, and doing so in prime lyrical form. "Oceans" also deals with some heavier handed subject matter, as Frank delivers a chilling, brilliant hook that compares the yacht to the slave ship, ever so poetically.
"I see elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady / Docked on the Ivory Coast / Mercedes in a row winding down the road / I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo / Before the Basquiat show and if so / Well fuck it, fuck it / Because this water drown my family / This water mixed my blood / This water tells my story This water knows it all."
Yeah, "Oceans" is deep.
And so is "Jay-Z Blue", where he explores fatherhood, wanting to be a better man than his own dad, who abandoned him at a young age. Even his most commercially viable track, "Part 2 (On The Run)" – an obvious sequel to "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" – is a much heavier ballad than its predecessor. Clocking in at five and half minutes, it plays more like something you'd hear in the closing credits of Michael Mann's Miami Vice 2, than in rotation on local your pop station.
With a few cuts that could have been left on the studio floor, such as the disappointing "BBC" with Nas and Pharrell, Magna Carta Holy Grail plays solidly throughout, despite it's awkward pacing. This is more of a late night drive home record, than a prime-time-at-the-club LP, and that is when it will likely be most appreciated by its audience. It's a slow burner, one that grows on the listener with repeated listens, which is why it may also be overlooked or glossed over by a large percentage of the audience.
Over the years, Jay has rewritten the rules of rap, in both a musical and a business sense. Today's "new rules" are simply what he referred to yesterday as The Blueprint. However he will forever be held to the standard of that album, The Black Album, Vol. 3: The Hard Knock Life, Reasonable Doubt, and so on. While this is one of his boldest LP's – for many reasons – it's also a bit underwhelming at times, despite however solid it may be.
Why a 43 year old muphuca can't just live? Let the kids usher in the next era. Jigga's old ass does not need to be trying to save hip hop.
@yungplex age has nothing to do with it look at big daddy Kane on Marco polos PA2
He killed with straight style and school the younger cats, jay does not have any hunger, how can you when you got your fingure in so many pies? Including Bs.
Indeed Big Daddy Kane came correct on that song. Another example is look at O.C.s whole LP with Apollo Brown. Every song is incredible and he's in the same age bracket as Jay. I hate this whole attitude in the Hip Hop community that older MCs are wack just because of their age and let the young'ns take over. Man f@ck that! That is the most ignorant attitude and shows how immature and stupid a lot of the fans are. It makes me embarrassed that I am a part of this community sometimes. You don't really hear people saying, say, Paul McCartney needs to stop writing and performing, why can't someone be 40, hell 50-60 years old and be capable of making great Hip Hop music? The thing is you can be any age and make great art! No one can tell me otherwise.
(lol)Hip hop being disposable is what I was talking about earlier. Hov may be 1 of the best at remaining relevant in his 40s but his Hawaiian Sophie ass was never as raw as Kane. I been tellin yungins bout ShowBiz&Ag,OC, ect but it don't mater how dope a muphucka is, if no one hears they isht. btw Paul McCartney aint been ish since Wings. Legend, record companies, a loyal fan base and saving broke hos are what keep duke pumpin. Is it possible to have a successful label with the mission of elevating the form/carrying on tradition? Hip-hop of such high standards no longer has sufficient support or platform. Look at who controls the isht. I don't think Viacom GAF about art. This might be bigga than Jigga is all I'm saying thou.
@Ozi Battle Because Dayz is the best commenter! heh

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -Darren Collison scored 17 points and added a career-high 15 assists as No. 5 UCLA defeated No. 19 Arizona 81-66 on Saturday afternoon.

The victory kept the Bruins (23-3, 12-2 Pac-10) in first place in the Pac-10, one game ahead of Washington State.

Josh Shipp tied a career high with 24 points for UCLA, which defeated Arizona for the fifth straight time. The Bruins scored the game's first six points and never trailed. Leading 35-34 at halftime, the Bruins hit 8 of 15 3-pointers in the second half to take command of the game.

Collison hit 5 of 7 from beyond the arc.

It was the second-worst home loss in Lute Olson's 24-year tenure at Arizona. The worst was a 92-64 loss to then-No. 4 North Carolina on Jan. 27.

Playing in his final home game, Mustafa Shakur scored 17 points for the Wildcats (17-9, 8-7), who lost five home games for the first time since 1986-87. The Wildcats lost a total of three games in McKale Center from November 1987 to December 1994.

Arizona fell to 4-14 against ranked opponents over the past two seasons. The Bruins, by contrast, are 8-1 against the Top 25 this season.

UCLA jumped out to a 23-11 lead eight minutes into the game. But Shakur hit a pair of 3-pointers to spark a 12-0 run to tie it at 23-23.

UCLA answered with a 7-0 run, with Shipp hitting a 15-footer and a 3-pointer, to go ahead 30-23. But Arizona scored the final 7 points of the half to pull within 35-34 at intermission.

The Bruins responded by scoring 10 of the first 14 points of the second half. The barrage began with 3-pointers by Collison and Shipp. The Wildcats came no closer than three points the rest of the way.

The auditions for "Rising Star" continued on Sunday night, the singer needs a minimum of 70 percent of votes in order for the wall to rise and thus move on to the next round. And since the show is live, the total on the East Coast is not the final tally because the West Coast's results need to be added, that means that those who miss the mark by just a few percentage points at the end of the show on the East, could easily move on after the show airs on the West. "Rising Star" premiered last week and the judges and host alike seem a bit distant, but last night there was a new camaraderie rising from them, something that is of utmost importance in a show as this.
The first singer was Shamela Crawford who despite what the judges said, was not impressive, did not raise the wall, after airing on the West she managed to squeeze in to the next round. April Lockhart made it through, but her vocals were not what are expected in a competition such as this. Austin French was outstanding and received a well-earned standing ovation. Trinity was a trio of girls that need much practicing to hone their craft. Alice J. Lee was fascinating and overall received a 74 percent total that should have been much higher. Rye Davis sang a country theme and was not captivating at all. Sonnet Simmons began slowly, but then her vocals became mesmerizing, outstanding performance. Deedra Ervin was not even close to the minimum required, how she made it that far in the competition with Josh Groban mentoring is baffling. Will Roth has a rocker look with a mellow touch it will be interesting to watch his progress. Egypt Dixon tried rapping, but such is not her calling. Alan Jaymes kicked it out of the park, at first it seemed as though he was not going to make it, but then his vocals took off and so did the wall. Last contestant was Megan Tibbits singing while playing the harp and after the West Coast voted she also squeezed right into the next round with a 70 percent.
Yes, it is fun and rewarding to have a say in who goes through and who does not, "Rising Star" puts viewers right in the action and makes it fun to submit votes, or not and watch that one the viewer is cheering for make it through, but also a singer could be favorite and despite voting yes, the wall does not rise which can be disappointing. No matter what the outcome is for one singer or another, this show is new, fun, and it will be interesting to see what surprises are in store once the auditions are over and the duels begin.
"Rising Star" runs on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.

So what can I say? It's better to come clean and admit that my Upper West Side hair color and cut costs the same as the average monthly salary for a man working construction in Kabul.
"Whose business is it anyway?" I feel like asking the 18-year-old Afghan woman who has become my ward this summer. She is on break from her New England boarding school, where she goes on full scholarship via an American non-profit.
Instead, I tell her that this is the way it is for women of a certain age, living in these times in one of the most expensive cities on earth — Manhattan.
And my cutter, Cookie — yes, Cookie the Cutter — is my trusted friend. We talk during the two-plus hours we are together every other month. Cookie is from China, as is my adopted daughter, and Cookie is a straight shooter.
The tiny shop on Columbus Avenue has just three chairs, which is all I can handle anymore. I've tried the gigantic salon/spas/purveyors of beauty products, and they make me too nervous. For a decade I was loyal to the huge Aveda salon across the street from Cookie, but I dreaded going there. There was someone to check your coat — tip required — someone to check you in, someone to do the wash (tip), someone to escort you to your chair, someone to bring you hot tea. It made me dizzy. And it cost twice as much as Cookie.
At Cookie's place, I go in my torn jeans, clogs, without make-up. She's okay with my bringing Mr. Henry Longfellow, my piebald dachshund, who sits in my lap and watches the people pass by on Columbus Avenue.
Cookie does it all, takes my coat, does the color, wash, cut, and blow dry. But never has she offered me hot tea or tried to sell me products.
When Cookie meets my young friend from Kabul, she stares at her long and hard.
"Where you from?" Cookie wants to know. Cookie is not diplomatic, and her English is not the best. "Why you look Chinese?"
Fearing that feelings will be hurt, I rush in with a 60-second history of my friend's tribe, the Hazara. It is said (but unproven) that the Hazara descend from Genghis Khan, one of the many invaders of that land. More likely it is the Mongolians, and hence, the facial bone structures that could be mistaken for Chinese.
"Ah," says Cookie. "Chinese."
I know better than to argue with Cookie. She takes no prisoners. Once when I was there some workers were trying to install a sound system. Cookie gave them orders and told them they were not doing it right at all. I had to stifle my giggles. When they left, Cookie said, "No good. They do it all wrong."
I send my young friend off for a sandwich at the tiny shop next door. Cookie and I have catching up to do.
"How your Lili?" she wants to know. "Why she not come for haircut?"
I remind Cookie that Lili is in Boston this summer, taking courses at Boston University.
"I know Boston," Cookie tells me. "I take bus there."
Cookie takes those cheap buses everywhere. She has been to Atlantic City, Toronto, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and even Florida.
But I don't want to discuss Boston. It is China I want to know about. Cookie has just returned from a visit to her brother in Shanghai, where he has taken a bride.
"Cookie, do you like her?" I ask.
"She O.K. Not bad. She pregnant now."
"So soon?"
"Ha! She not young, 36 already. And she thinks Cookie will come and take care of baby. No way, I tell my brother!"
I'm fascinated by Cookie's family history. She and her brother came to the U.S. as teens, and her brother graduated from Columbia University with an engineering degree. Frustrated at not finding a wife here, he returned to his homeland at the age of 40, just to find a bride.
"Will you ever move back to China?" I ask Cookie. Previously, she was negative about all things tied to China and said no way would she go back. She surprises me this time.
"Yes," she says, "I will go back. To retire. In nice modern condo in Shanghai."

SHEFFIELD TWP. – John Szalay was right when he said after the game, "The final score looked like a romp, but it wasn`t really indicative of how the game really was."
His Clearview team, with no lettermen back from last year, lost to visiting Vermilion by a lopsided 60-38 score Friday night in a non-conference season opener for both teams.
But the inexperienced Clippers only trailed by four, 37-33, after three quarters and actually led 27-26 in the third after a 3-pointer by Tony Williams.
However, the taller Sailors – led by Andy Pena`s outstanding second half – took control in the fourth quarter, outscoring Clearview 23-5 in the final eight minutes to win going away.
Pena, a 5-foot-11 senior guard, scored 17 of his 20 points in the last two quarters to spark the Sailors` strong finish.
"Pena was the difference in the game," said Szalay. "I thought we hung in there pretty well for three quarters. We really battled, and I`m proud of that. But then Pena took over.
"We just made some bad decisions with the basketball – but that`s correctable."
Clearview`s inexperience was shown in two ways – it committed 28 turnovers and made only six of 18 free throws.
But the Sailors, too, looked ragged at times – typical of a first game – with 26 turnovers and only hitting on 11 of 24 at the free-throw line.
"Defensively we played a pretty good game," said Vermilion coach Kurt Habermehl. "But we have a lot of guys playing their first varsity game and it showed with too many unforced errors. But the more we play the more comfortable we`ll get. The team is going to grow as the season goes on.
"Give credit to Clearview. They hustled and played hard. John always gets his kids ready to play."
Pena was modest about his great performance.
"I was just at the right place at the right time and got some baskets," he said. "I`m happy we won but we`ve got to improve. I thought we did a good job hustling."
Pena scored Vermilion`s first nine points in the third, two on a spectacular layup after stealing the ball and driving half the length of the court.
The Sailors` height advantage led to a 38-33 edge in rebounds – led by 6-5 senior Matt Litjegren with eight and 6-7 junior Derek Hoebing with seven. Vermilion also shot well from the field, hitting 53 percent to only 32 percent for the Clippers.
