Ocean Park Series #8, 1962
John AltoonAmerican, 1925-1969
oil on canvas
81-1/2 x 84 in. (207.0 x 213.4 cm)
Norton Simon Museum, Anonymous Gift
© 2011 Estate of John Altoon, Braunstein/Quay Gallery
On view
John Altoon came to prominence through his association with the Ferus Gallery of Los Angeles in the late 1950s. In 1961, Altoon moved into a studio in Venice, California and soon after began working on the Ocean Park series, named after a local neighborhood. This group of 18 paintings, and several works on paper, was a departure from Altoon's usual all-over style of painting, because he eliminated much of the background by leaving most of the canvas surface empty and began on a neutral field.
Ocean Park Series #8, although abstract and seemingly spontaneous, is actually a unique view of the California coast. Although painting on a two dimensional canvas, Altoon depicts a landscape's depth in the way that the fore-, middle- and backgrounds are all included in the composition. Broad, gestural strokes reveal the yellow and orange rays of the sun streaming down over blue and white cresting ocean waves that crash onto the brown landscape on which green vegetation grows.

The game looked to be over as the Phillies trailed the Royals 9-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth. Could there be more ninth inning magic left over from Saturday?
Ezequiel Carrerra lead off the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk. Two batters later, Ben Revere singled. With two on and one out, it still didn't appear that anything spectacular would happen. Maybe the Phillies would get one run. But Jimmy Rollins changed the momentum with one swing of the bat. Rollins smashed his first home run of the year, a three-run shot. The Phillies were now trailing 9-7. The crowd, who had lost enthusiasm earlier, was now back into the game and fully behind the home team. Maybe there was some magic left after all.
The hits kept coming, and there was hope again. Ryan Howard and Michael Young singled with two outs. Laynce Nix followed with an RBI single to put the Phillies within one. With Erik Kratz up, a wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. A single would win the game!
The intense, ninth-inning, heart-pounding adrenaline was rushing through the bodies of anxious Phillies fans — a feeling that drives fans crazy, but is needed at the same time. Could Kratz be the hero? Could the Phillies have another miracle comeback?
It was too good to be true. Kratz had a solid at-bat fouling off pitch after pitch, but ultimately struck out swinging.
The problem was not Kratz striking out and failing to come up in the "clutch." The problem was the pitching… again!
The Phillies jumped to an early 4-0 lead, but Cole Hamels had another bad outing. He gave up eight earned runs on nine hits and four walks. He only struck out two. He surrendered a grand slam in the fifth inning to Billy Butler, who finished the game with seven RBIs.
Don't put all the blame on Hamels though. Chad Durbin struggled again, as he has yet to find his groove. Durbin relieved Hamels in the sixth inning with two men on and two outs. He allowed a walk, then Billy Butler struck again with a two-run single.
It was great to see that the Phillies weren't going to go down without a fight, but they really need to step up their pitching. As of now, the Phillies have the worst ERA in baseball, which is somewhat surprising. Hamels had high expectations entering 2013, so seeing him struggle is shocking.
The Phillies lost to the Royals by a final score of 9-8, losing the series 1-2. The Phillies will face the New York Mets next.

Scoring 8 runs will win you a lot of games. Once this pitching gets it together we have a real chance of being in it.
To be exact, scoring 8 runs would have won 146 out of the 162 games last year. Only 16 times last year did the Phillies opponents score 8 runs or more. Only 10 times did the Phillies opponents score 9 runs or more, so the other six times the game would have gone to extra innings.
Charlie said that same thing…you score 8 runs, you ex[ect to win a lot of games.
I found the statement pretty humourous actually.
The problem with that logic is they scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th. Which means they had an extra turn at bat to get it done. Fact is, they did score 8, but if we're talking winning baseball on 8 runs per game, a fairer read might be how many home games where they won, and only batted 8 times did they score 8.
Sign me,
Picky but Some Level of Truism
I was there but the Over-Paid Cole Hamels didn't show.
I heard that Cole gave up a Grand-Slam for the first time ever
and thew first time a team scored 8 runs on him in his career.
Too much Money brings Too much Pressure.
Can he handle it ?
Reparations for Vietnam Vets
Baltimore Bob
Cole was the first pitcher I took in my fantasy draft. So far, it's proving to be a disastrous move.
Don't worry glut..look at Dickey, Strasburg, Verlander, Cain, Haren and on and on..
Of course there is more than plenty of time for him to turn things around but two ugly ones so far. He will bounce back…I hope.
For Ken Bland
Yes I played Butler
The outburst didnt counteract Chris Davis.
For everyone else.
You have a really bad team.
Ruben GMed them just as you would.
Regarding the performances, or lack of, that have inspired quick anger toward Horst and Durbin, I would say this.
We're not talking Hall of Famers, and their situations aren't identical, but in some ways, they warrant similar defense.
Six games into a season, it's hard to write a player off. Perhaps if you're a critic of both, you are hypocritical by placing premium value on spring stats. Horst had an unimpressive spring, but was very good last year. Off being very good last year, although he's not a long term veteran he should have some leeway, ESPECIALLY when you consider just who is it down on the farm that is so screaming of performance that warrants replacing him on the roster at this time?
For Durbin, it's really getting a little silly. Buys pitched about 10 years in the bigs, and has by and large been an effective pitcher the last half of that time. And he was pretty good last year.
And ironically, he was very good AFTER April.
When a player fails to perform, as in both cases Friday, the best thing to do is throw them right back out there to get the ship righted. At a certain point, if it's not working, or there's a better replacement, THEN it's a different story. Are the Phils too patient in this vein? Seemingly so. Lidge for quite a while, Herndon, Qualls, and maybe even several more. But a week into the season is NOT the appropriate time to blame decisionmakers for two guys who pitched well last year for being on the roster, and thrown right back out there. And particularly since those making a living off Durbin and Horst's perfprmances are likely more concerned than the trigger happy tempers that wanna bounce them before their pitches connect with the bats or catcher's mitt.
I agree KB, well stated.
So how long is long enough? How long is "it still early"? I sure don't know the answers, but I know it's more than a week.
Is it only when you have a suitable replacement for those deemed under-performers? Or do you cut bait and pray for someone else to step up?
These are nagging questions for patient folks and their quick triggered brethren alike.
If you're going to give the fast hook to Horst and Durbin then you have to write off Hamels too, and I don't think anybody is ready to do that.
Obviously Hamels has a history of being a stud pitcher in this league and the other guys do not but they deserve some time to try to settle down and contribute – and I say that not being particularly comfortable with anyone in the pen other than Adams and I'm sure he'll have his share of bad outings.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about this team (IMO) is that they don't stink (think Astros) but they're not great – think Mets plus but going in the opposite direction). Too often, mediocrity outlives awful. It perpetuates itself in all walks of life. When you outright stink, changes are likely coming whether you like it or not. At this point, I don't know whether to root for a .500 season or Astros-like disaster. I believe upper management cares too much not to make the changes necessary if the team bottoms out. If they continue to produce at..500, I'm not so sure management will give up the ghost.
Ken and Lefty,
Good points and questions raised. Honestly, I always thought Durbin was mediocre when we had him the first time, felt he was above average with the Braves, and cringed when the Phil's signed him. Was he the best we could do? If so, then it is what it is. However, I am unimpressed so far, first weeks or not. It is a bad sign when a veteran reliever is letting 10 out of 11 inherited runners score. So when do we pull him? Do we wait till he pills a Qualls? Or do we hope he finds his groove in line with his history (April being his worst month historically). It seems Stutes and Diekman are not ready yet.
I was a big proponent of Horst last year and thought he pitched excellent. However, disappointed in his start, but I feel he will recover and come close to what he did last season.
This leads to a thought: What does everyone think of Dubee? I don't even know how we would rate him due to the fact that he "coaches" three of the best pitchers in the league: Doc, Lee, and Colebert.
Do we rate him on how all the pitchers adjust from $hi!!y outings?
Any thoughts, gentlemen?
-Curious Ed
If you think Durbin was mediocre with the Phils your idea of what a middle relief pitcher should be is radically inflated. Good pitchers do not pitch middle relief. That should be obvious. As far as pitchers bad enough to be stuck in a middle relief role go, Durbin has been one of the better ones for some time, including his first tenure in Philly.
I know that middle relievers are not the best and that is why they are in that position, but for a team that is built on pitching, I do expect a better ratio with inherited runners, even if it is early in the season. Those inherited runners scoring on almost every opportunity killed us. As for Durbin, I might not have been clear in my previous post, but u was comparing his time with the Phillies originally to his time with the Braves, upon which, I feel that his time with the Braves made his time with the Phils mediocre.
Ken and Lefty,
As always I appreciate the responses. Ken, you find the best avatars!
Let's crush the Mutts tonight, with the return of Doc to some semblance of his old self!
Oh. Well then we actually agree, thanks for the clarification.
All I know about Dubee is he's regarded well around The League. Not necessarily unanimously. Maybe 2-3 years ago, I think it was SI.com ran a poll of personnel in the game, he finished a distant second to Duncan in The League. I mean as to what kind of coach he is on personal observation. His job's about communication with the pitchers, and I have no visibility of that. That he's been known to avoid the truth with the media at times doesn't really bother me.
I'd guess when Charlie goes, he's not far behind, and more by choice than not.
I wouldn't be surprised if Savery sees time with the Phils ahead of Jake. I can't give you a time frame on Durbin. I can only observe the here and now, and the catcalls for his ass at this point don't seem right and proper. The Durbinator needs to get his act together pronto, and frankly, I love Cole, but as he knows better than me, he needs to take pressure off both Chad and Jeremy (what a freaking pun as it works out) by getting results el rapido.
Big Ed- Sorry, I don't know enough to speak with authority about assistant coaches. All I know is Dubee speaks for Charlie on National broadcasts. He sounds pretty sharp when he does, if that helps?
Weaver's line tonight:
Today seems to be a day that several aces underperformed. Cole really needs to have a good performance his next time out though before it gets out of hand.
That one on top of the weak Opening Day start vs.the Braves was shocking. Just to put into perspective: Cole would have to have an ERA of 2.57 over his next 189.1 Innings to get to a total ERA of 3.02 in 200 Innings, something I would have expected at the start of the season. So these two horrible starts really make it an uphill climb for him…
Go get the Mets tonight!
I see Howard struck out 3 times again. Sarge said over the weekend that Howard is a feared hitter and pitchers don't want to face him. That made me laugh really hard. Clearly, Sarge is either clueless or ignorant. Not only do pitchers not mind facing him, they will pitch around other guys to face him. All Howard does is guess at the plate. I've never seen more check swings in my life than when he's at bat.
I still fully expect that by the end of the year the battle for best Phillies hitter will come down to Howard or Utley.
I hope you're right. Because if Howard struggles, the Phillies offense is in BIG trouble. They don't have much power as it is…
Chase Utley is BASEBALL player with a capital everything.
You can't find a player with a higher baseball IQ.
If he had to run on his hands he would figure out a way to adjust his timing and still be a great baserunner.
Still, I thought it was too hopeful to believe Utley could come back from his knee problems.
Even I underestimated him.
Whether he hits .330 or .230 Utley s the MVP of this team, if only by example.
The Phillies would never have won two pennants without Ryan Howard. He'll likely and deservedly have his number retired some day (along with Utley) and when he's been productive he's been a pleasure to watch. Having said that, I think he's becoming more and more a one-dimensional player. He's never been a great fielder, always a below-average base-runner, never a guy who could hit lefties – except (I believe)t for a brief one-off spike in 2010, seldom a batter who can make simple contact to move base-runners, etc.
I'm not about to write off Ryan as a contributor this year assuming he stays healthy. I do believe he can still bounce back and should remain at or near the RBI leadership, but this is not the 2008-09 team so it's not saying much. Still, if his productivity in a full season can still reach 90 RBIs it's hard to complain. That would almost certainly lead the team. Most power hitters strike out a lot and that's hard to watch. It was tough watching with Schmidt and just as frustrating with Howard. Still, I'd be happy to have them hitting 4-5 in the lineup (with a younger Michael Jack, of course).
Still early… I think Cole will be fine. He's leaving the ball up a little bit and maybe he's not 100% dialed in but I don't think it's a mechanical issue or anything like that. Maybe he's a little distracted.
Howard has been striking the ball pretty well… he's had some bad at bats but he's had some hard hit balls into the shift and I think he's going to start mashing soon. Utley has looked pretty good and so has Domonic Brown… those were your three biggest question marks. Also, Adams, Bastardo and Papelbon have all been pretty good – we just have to get there. I think Halladay will be fine – I was worried but he's getting more on his fastball and I think that once he gets settled in, he'll live at 92-93 MPH which is good enough… plus, he's only got few more starts before Chooch gets back (who would have thought that nto having Chooch would affect Doc the way that it has). It was nice to see Michael Young get some hits (and Jimmy get a big one)…
Curious… did anyone else wonder why Michael Young didn't go first to third on Laynce Nix's right field in the 9th? Hindsight is always 20/20 and I know that the general rule is to never make the third out at third base (and Francoeur has a strong arm in RF) but at first glance and without the benefit of replay (I haven't seen one), I thought, "he should be on third base." Sure enough, a few pitches later, that feeling was worsened when the pitcher uncorked a wild pitch which would have scored the game tying run if Young had been standing on third. Again, I haven't seen the replay…
OCP- I didn't see the replay either, and don't have the greatest memory, but I think Nix's hit was up the middle to CF. (I think I remember the pitcher doing an Ole') I don't think they made a play on Howard, so it probably came back in to the cut off pretty quickly. I doubt Young could have moved over on the play.
Often, when a team's not very good, they play not to lose and only end up hurting their chances to win. I'm not saying that was the case with Young pulling up at 2nd. Between Francoeur's rifle and 2nd usually being a good scoring position it may have been the better odds-on decision by Young and/or 3rd base coach. But I've seen an overall sleepiness in this team's style of play the last few years, and for a club that doesn't score 8 runs a game very often, not being able to execute small ball can be disastrous.
When you can hit the long ball and you're fleet of foot, all the better.
That's apparently the potential the Braves saw in the Uptons that the Phillies didn't see.
Agree with you on the sleepiness comment, WB. For whatever reason, they've let off the gas at points this season and have not played with enough urgency overall. I think that Cole has sort of succumbed to the pressure of being an ace. He really always has been an ace but now there are expectations that he's not sure if he can live up to… big contract, opening day starter. He's always been a bit of a head case but he has matured over the past couple of years so we've all sort of forgotten that. He'll be fine but I think he has to understand that he doesn't have to do it all… trust his stuff and his teammates.
I really want to see the replay on that play.
"But I've seen an overall sleepiness in this team's style of play the last few years…"
I disagree with this, I think it's just a lack of success. When a team isn't doing well offensively, and they keep jogging back to the dugout, it looks like there's a lack of energy or excitement.
"…and for a club that doesn't score 8 runs a game very often, not being able to execute small ball can be disastrous."
It depends on what one means by "small ball", I suppose.
– if it's using the sacrifice more, then unless the pitcher is batting it's usually not a good strategy.
– if it's advancing runners with "productive outs", or base runners taking the extra base, I think they've only been about average, no worse than that
@OCP- It was up the middle- At the 1:38 mark. He had no chance of advancing. I don't agree with the overall sleepiness either.
Depressing afternoon…although I DID think they had a chance in the 9th. After Rollins homered I'm like "But it's STILL 9-7. That HR didn't win the game!" But then runners get on and you begin to wonder a little… And a decent enough at-bat by Kratz, too. There was one pitch that he fouled back to the screen that he JUST missed. He battled and just lost, that's all.
The bigger question is the pitching, specifically the bullpen or maybe Charlie's management of it. Because Cole WILL be fine. I'm really not worried about him. I head someone on the radio say this morning that if the Phillies can score 8 runs in a game they have a great chance of winning a ton of games if the pitching can hold up.
And I just read Dave P's comments at the top of this thread where he said basically the same thing about scoring 8 runs in a game. Sorry, Dave, for not responding directly to you, it's not like the 8 run thing was my idea or anything! I just happen to completely agree with it!
Tonight's opponent – Matt Harvey reminds me a lot of Curt Schilling… http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=25984935&c_id=mlb&topic_id=vtp_head_and_shoulders

"Grandchild scam" incidents are being reported locally, according to Portland Police.
On Jan. 18 and 22, twoPortlandresidents received calls from someone claiming that their grandchildren had been arrested and were in foreign jails.
In one case, the victim spoke to a young woman claiming to be her granddaughter and that she was currently in a British Columbia jail. The victim then spoke a man claiming to be a law enforcement officer who told the victim that, in order to have her granddaughter released, she would need to wire $3,400 dollars to an address in Bolivia.
The other case involved a grandson being held in Port Au Prince, Haiti. In this case, the victim wired $2,652 to Haiti.
In both cases, the scammers lied. The thieves also had personal information about the grandchildren, including names and personal information, making their pitch believable, police said.

Our democracy is broken
Our government has lost its bearings. The economy teeters on the brink of
a depression, the military is broken by protracted, useless war and
repeated deployments that break the spirit of the troops, and the
Republicans and Democrats are at loggerheads each determined to outlast
the other while the ship of state is at risk of sinking.
There are remedies for this nonsense.
First: no war without universal conscription and a war tax. The wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq are being fought by enlistees from rural towns where
there is little or no work and a solution appears to be to enlist and get
money for college. If everyone, male and female of draft age were at risk,
there would be a national protest. If everyone had to pay taxes to finance
the war, currently estimated at $30,000 per person, the public would never
approve of a war.
In World War II men were drafted for the duration; in the Korean War for
24 months. Repeated deployments -- a horrid mistake -- break marriages,
destroy families, and create a population of suicidal, depressed,
unemployed veterans.
As for the economic crisis, the dreadful deficit spending and enormous
national debt, its not only a matter of cutting spending; its a matter
of increasing revenue, which means taxes. The Republicans, in their
determination to destroy the middle class and create a country of serfs
struggling to exist in poverty while the rich get richer, blame Medicare.
The national health program which now serves only half the people as
Medicare and the VA, should not be financed from the general fund, but by
a health tax, just like the Social Security tax, and those budgets kept
separate, untouchable.
The Tea Party zealots, some of whom have never before served in any
elected office, are blocking compromise, which is an essential solution in
political horse trading.
Add the betrayal of the American public by the Supreme Court which handed
over the electoral process to the highest bidder, namely corporations. Our
democracy is broken. I doubt if the American public will rise up in revolt
like the Egyptians, for Americans are too docile and too brainwashed by
the likes of Fox News and Rupert Murdock. If you look at the test scores
of our high school dropouts, we are also too dumb. H.L. Mencken had a name
for us: Americanus Doofus. He was right.
God save the republic.

My daughter will be a month old tomorrow. Here is what's going on:
She was 7lbs12oz when she was born, which is the 50th percentile for weight. As of today at the doctor, she is 10lbs12oz, the 90th percentile. I was happy that she is gaining so well, but the doctor says I might want to increase the time between feedings, which I don't want or intend to do. We are feeding on demand, also because I am intending to use breastfeeding as my birth control for a couple of months. My husband agrees with the doctor though, which is frustrating to me.
Second, she is fussy and gassy. My husband had a lot of theories about this, and I stopped eating spicy foods and we are giving her those simethicone drops for gas, which don't seem to do anything.
When she nurses, she makes a clicking sound and will let go of my nipple a lot, especially at the beginnning. I was reading a little, and now I'm wondering, is our problem oversupply or a fast let-down??? I would be very relieved if it is. I've read and I know what to do about the oversupply. I just want to be sure that is the problem before I do anything for it. Right now I've started block feeding, and I'll work from there.
Here are other problems DD is having:
Fussy a lot, especially in the evenings and sometimes at night
Wants to eat ALL THE TIME, about every hour.
Occasionally produces a volcano of spit-up, though the frequency of this has decreased over the past two weeks. She now spits up 2-3x per week. Earlier it was 1-2x per day.
Farts a lot...
Difficulty falling asleep, also for naps, and often wakes up after 20 minutes or so. She has days when she hardly sleeps at all. She fusses a lot but rarely cries.
She has a stuffy nose. Could she have some allergy/food sensitivity? She isn't sick.
Thank you all for your advice! I am so relieved that I think I might know what the problem is.

Central Place Theory deals with cities, their satellites, and other populated places. Central Place Theory is defined, by James Rubenstein in "The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography," as "a theory that explains the distribution of services, based on the fact that settlements serve as centers of market areas for services; larger settlements are fewer and farther apart than smaller settlements and provide services for a large number of people who are willing to travel farther."
Translating that into everyday speak, the theory can be explained as "rural people go to a town for certain goods that can be sold profitably in a lightly populated area. For specialized goods that need a high population density to be sold profitably (a car sales man can sell more cars in New York City than Scotland, South Dakota) rural people and town people go to a city. Thus the city is the central place for the city, towns, and satellite areas like suburbs, exurbs, and farms.
Central Place Theory states that it would be economically unlikely that two major cities would be located close to each other because they would split profits from the outlying area (think of two trees competing for limited soil neutrants, they could not grow as big as they could if the other tree was not there). However, it is possible for two cities to be spatial close if travel between two cities is difficult due to high density traffic or poor roads (think how Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland are so close together but a considered world's apart by nearby residents).
|A simplified explanation of Central Place Theory
To figure out the fine points and apply Central Place Theory one needs to use mathematics and economics. The use of these statistical sciences helped open geography up to the quantitative revolution. Today, while the revolution has ebbed, many geographers like urban planners and GIS user still ground their studies in spatial statistics.
A Dark Origin
Central Place Theory was started by the German geographer Walter Christaller in the 1920s. Christaller observed the spatial patterning of settlements in southern Germany and published his results in Central Places in Southern Germany.
However, Christaller was not able to apply his theory until a few years later. He was unique, compared to other planning geographers, in the sense that he was given a blank slate and an uptopian goal: remake occupied Poland for his Nazi masters using Central Place Theory. You see, Christaller was a member of the Nazi Party who worked for Heinrich Himmler in the SS Planning and Soil Office. He even made a map showing how a German-settled Poland should look with central places and adjacent places (below).
|The Central Place in the Eastern Regions and their Culture and Market Sector map for the SS Reorganization of Poland. Click to enlarge. From Visualizing a Map of Walter Christaller, Poland 1941.
Christaller did not see his dream completed due to the Nazi loss of World War II. However, like many believers in National Socialism he made the small hop from German National Socialism to International Socialism (the Communist Party). Today, Christaller is well respected in geography with his many admirers not only praising his theory (a valid thing to do) but also honoring him with with award and scholarship titles. His theory is accepted with a few modification yet his dark past is rarely discussed in any geography class.

Comments about post-shave balm:
I ordered this for my husband and he really likes it. It feels light and soothing when used after shaving.
Comments about post-shave balm:
i have been using their special cleansing gel for many years and REALLY like that product a lot. i also REALLY like this product a lot. i really do. i shave my entire head and face about every 3 days and this product feels great and leaves my skin feeling nice. i do have to say though that this particular item is INSULTINGLY OVERPRICED. the dispenser is a waste of money and i feel like i'm leaving some behind in the can. it should be in a tube. once again i love the product but i feel like the pricing for an after shave balm is a huge slap in the face and turns me off to the brand. it's only 1.7 ounces and it's literally more expensive than silver.
Comments about post-shave balm:
I bought this for the hubby, whose face gets very aggravated when he shaves. This balm is very calming and soothing... and smells nice, too. He's a fan.

I use this after shaving and my skin looks smooth and clear! I can go out all night with my friends, and my face will never look oily... even if I'm drinking ha! I'll wake up the next morning and my skin still will not be oily and look smooth!
BEST PRODUCT in my opinion! Especially, for a guy that has sensitive skin and deals with their face getting oily during the day or night when they go out.
Comments about post-shave balm:
Hubby loves this and has recently turned me onto it too...Ha! Who would've thought that after using Dermalogica for 10 years, that he would make me love them more!
Comments about post-shave balm:
Love how the lotion looks, smells, feels, and works. Love it. Hate the stupid dispenser bottle. Will keep buying it but I can't carry it on (3.4 oz) and I feel like some product is left inside that I can't use.
Comments about post-shave balm:
Used for about a month, and didn't notice difference in texture of skin. It also didn't calm the skin. It did smell nice, and sometimes had a nice tingle to it.

More than whateverSeptember 05,2013
Vermonts three-man congressional delegation faces a difficult choice in deciding whether to support a resolution authorizing President Obama to strike at Syria after the most recent poison gas attack by the government against the Syrian people.
Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch are all appropriately wary of the commitment of U.S. forces to another war in the Middle East. Like most Vermonters, they remember the fakery and lies of the George W. Bush administration, which perpetrated one of the great foreign-policy blunders of the nations history in Iraq.
It is true as well that military action always leads to unintended consequences. Ten years after our invasion, Iraq may be coming apart at the seams, rather than serving as a model of democracy in the heart of the Arab world. Who knows what an attack on Syria might provoke Iran to do? An attack against an Arab regime, even for good reasons, is likely to provoke resentment in the Arab world, despite support from the klatch of monarchies whom we count as allies.
The instincts of Leahy, Sanders and Welch might well be to vote no to a new engagement in the Middle East. Who appointed the United States the police officer of the world? Its a question that has been asked throughout the past century. In the face of that question, we have often found reasons to assume the police role despite isolationist tendencies that wax and wane over time.
And yet doing nothing is also a choice with consequences. So far the Obama administration has for good reasons chosen a policy of restraint in relation to the Syrian civil war. We have learned that it is delusional to believe we can shoot our way into town and rearrange Arab societies to our liking. As the world has watched, the Syrian war has claimed more than 100,000 lives, and millions have become refugees. President Obama has not waded in so far because it has not been clear what he might do that wouldnt make things worse.
It is worth noting the differences between Syria and Iraq. In Iraq, Saddam Hussein was a murderous tyrant who in the past had gassed his own people, with the United States looking the other way. But at the time of our invasion, he was not threatening anyone. There was no war. We created the war.
In Syria, civil war is well under way, and lately President Bashar al-Assad has taken it to another level by unleashing poison gas. As Thomas Friedman has pointed out in a column, international norms have outlawed the use of poison gas, and yet the international bodies that might enforce those norms are paralyzed. To do nothing in response to Assads use of poison gas is for humanity to adopt a policy of whatever.
A policy of whatever would embolden other vicious leaders to believe they can act with impunity in using weapons of mass destruction. The world has embraced norms that outlaw genocide and certain undiscriminating weapons. We enforce those norms only haltingly, but here is an instance where action in response is appropriate.
Choosing an appropriate strategy will be important. Our strategy ought to be designed to dovetail with the needs of the secular, anti-radical rebels who are locked in competition with al-Qaida-allied Islamists. We cant sort out the complex tangle of Syrias war, but we can show Assad and others that they must pay a price if they use weapons of mass destruction.
Obama has adopted a clever political ploy in asking for Congress approval, dividing Republicans, some of whom were willing to wage war because of weapons of mass destruction that didnt exist but hesitate when those weapons have actually been used. The Democrats were already divided.
Leahy, Sanders and Welch may well be standing against the opinion of a majority of Vermonters if they support Obamas resolution. But not doing so may be to initiate a policy of fatal passivity that would empower the most heinous leaders at the expense of the interests of humanity.MORE IN EditorialsPhil Scott will take office next month after winning with a margin of 51.11 percent to 43.

It's now 17 months and I feel fortunate to be able to still BF my DD. It's one thing when the critics are friends, mortified strangers staring at you, or even the pediatric NP who gave a glare when told. However, I'm also getting from the DH and his mother.
I've stopped pumping for a couple of months thinking that would start a slow wean but I still seem to have a good enough supply for morning, afterwork, and nighttime feeds (she is eating solids well as well). DD also is off the bottle and will not drink breastmilk from anywhere but the source. She often nurses for comfort, which is fine when I'm around but with 50-65 hour work weeks the DH feels that he's being set up because as he says "there's no boob" to calm her down and that she has no self soothing skills otherwise. BTW, she usually does fine in daycare, at least they have not expressed any such concerns.
I'm not in a hurry at this point to wean but am wondering if I'm allowing DD to be too dependent on BF for comfort at her age.
As for the mother-in-law, any advice to establish boundaries are moot, she is loving but terribly intrusive and have not won that battle and likely never will.
Anyone in similar situations and/or can help me figure out what I might need to change?

|Publication ID: Fall 2000
|Title: Revocation of Lower Fat Yogurt Standards
|Abstract: In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register, FDA proposed to improve the coordination of the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA for substances used in meat and poultry products. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996, FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review: (1) its human food labeling regulations pertaining to the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate certain existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. The latter was published August 12, 1997. On October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule (pertaining to food regulations only) was published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date on those regulations, promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)), pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69), was published on August 27, 1996. In the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18938), FDA proposed to establish a notification procedure for companies to use to inform FDA of a company's determination that use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

Link Staffing: The Best Staffing Service in Katy
We understand the challenge many employers face when they consider a new temporary workforce solution in Katy. Reliable options for quality staffing firms are few and far between. Extra effort to minimize turnover, reduce labor cost and finding the right candidate for those hard to fill positions can simply be too much work for most managers to add to their already heavy workload.
Thankfully, you've come to the right place! Link Staffing is more than just a temp agency, we provide local staffing solutions for the whole Katy and central Texas community with 30 years of experience in specialized staffing solutions, especially those hard to fill positions. We offer skilled labor, unskilled labor, administrative and clerical staffing in both temporary positions and direct hire. Industries we serve include warehousing and distribution, construction, manufacturing, call centers, and human resource services.
Link Staffing was founded in 1980 and has since expanded to 44 offices in 14 states, including our location here in Katy. LINK is dedicated to workforce solutions tailored to fit our clients' needs. Our scope of service includes temporary staffing, direct hire staffing, administrative staffing, business support, vendor management and on-site staffing support. We strive to provide only the best staffing solutions that work specifically for our local industries in Katy.
Skilled Labor, Unskilled Labor & Industrial Staffing Solutions
Since our inception Link Staffing has been a leader in temporary staffing services, specifically in the skilled labor and industrial staffing fields. We still provide full-time and temporary staffing to a variety of industries including construction, retail and logistics, warehouse management, healthcare and manufacturing. These areas of staffing services are our key business in Katy and due to popular demand by our industrial clients, we now handle clerical and administrative staffing as well as call center staffing and other business support functions here in Katy.
Clerical & Administrative Staffing Solutions
For years Link Staffing focused on providing temporary staffing services exclusively to industrial, construction and manufacturing clients. Over time many of these companies continued to ask if we would aid in their business support functions as well. We tested the clerical staffing model in a few of our locations throughout the country, which were able to successfully source and staff these types of clerical and administrative staffing positions. So we decided, as an organization, to meet the demands for workforce solutions in business support functions on a national scale. We now bring the same resources for those hard to fill positions in the administrative realm.
On-Site Management - Link-On-Location in Katy Texas
Many high-volume clients often request to place a Link Staffing representative directly on-site rather than to coordinate with our office in Katy (or whichever location is nearest them) due to a need for continual involvement on our part. The primary benefits of implementing Link-On-Location in your facility include the ability for us to hire, train and schedule your temporary staff quickly and efficiently directly from your facility. You'll also have immediate, continuous access to Link Staffing managers and human resource professionals who are regularly on-site to address your temporary staffing needs immediately.
Contact us for more details on our Link-On-Location program in Katy.

After watching the 2-car-tango in the Duels, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this style of racing or not. But after watching the full 500 miles, I have to agree, it was a good race. Certainly better than last year's pothole fiasco

Student Opportunities
Extra-curricular and professional activities that will enrich your environmental studies education.
The very nature of environmental studies makes learning outside the classroom an added perk. Faculty encourage first-hand learning by accompanying students to areas studied in class or as part of research projects. Jeff Anstine teaches Ecotourism. He accompanies students to Costa Rica, the first country to pledge to be "carbon neutral" by 2021, to see envronmental-friendly policies in action. Martha Bohrer teaches Midwest Dune Ecology and Nature Writing. She arranges for students to study ecology in their own backyard.
Ecotourism in Costa Rica
The ecolodge where the students had lectures by local experts on cloud forest ecology, sustainability, free trade coffee and other topics related to ecotourism.
Observation in Indiana
Students study species diversity and density at the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan.

There you are, at the beach, or on top of that mountain, and it's the perfect photo op. The sun is just right, the light is gorgeous. It's beautiful, so you reach for your cell to snap the shot and… you're out of battery. OK, we'll admit that's a slightly romanticized version of reality, but the fact is, we've all had those moments when we wanted or needed our phone, and it was near dead with nary a power source in sight.

Tutorial: Does Using Heat To Revive Your Dried Up Gel Eyeliner Really Work?
We've heard it all.
Tricks of the Makeup Trade on how to make your gel eyeliner last longer:
- Store your pot upside down
- Keep it away from harsh lights
- Cap it tightly after every use, no, cap it after each dip. Meaning open – dip – close – apply – open – dip – close – apply – repeat
- Use a clean brush
- Don't add water with the intention to moisten it
Do all of the above, and still have your gel liner dry up right before your very eyes, even before you hit half of the pot. And we're talking about a gel liner pot that is used daily. You can probably slow down the aging process with these tricks, but not prevent totally gel liner from drying out.
You know it doesn't behave quite the same as before anymore, not as buttery and soft, application takes more effort and you see dried flakes on the undereye area. At first you think they're flakes from your mascara until one day you decided to go mascara-less and yet still end up with them ugly dark spots. Not even the kawaii kind of freckles. @[email protected]
I've gone through MAC Blacktrack, Kate gel liners, Maybelline gel liners, Coastal Scents gel giners, Inglot gel giners, Lioele gel liner and Bobbi Brown Black Ink. A good mix of high end, mid-range and drugstore brands there, and they all perished in the same way.
So no matter what class of branding your beloved gel liner belongs to nor does the universe care whether you perform the Tricks of the Trade with as much diligence as Monarch Butterflies migrating during fall, gel liners will eventually end up looking like dried mud.
Sad, I know, but true.
You can see how cakey and dry it appears when applied to the skin.

Transition Outreach Training for Adult Living (TOTAL) Project
Training Videos and Resources
The TOTAL Project series of multimedia training modules includes nine individual modules focused on research-based, best practices in transition planning and services for youth with disabilities. Each module is designed to stand alone or be used in conjunction with any or all of the other modules. Each module includes access to the video as well as access to an instructor's guide, the PowerPoint slides, activities, handouts, additional reading, and resources. The PowerPoint slides for all nine modules have been updated for IDEA 2004; however, the video for Modules 1 - 4 were produced prior to its passage and reflects IDEA '97.
Module 1 - Federal and State Transition
Federal and State Transition Requirements was
developed to increase understanding of
the Federal and State transition requirements for students
ages 14-21 who have Individualized Education Programs. All
transition stakeholders should have a thorough understanding
of the Federal and State IEP transition requirements and
how to successfully implement them.
Module 2 - Person-Centered Planning
Person-Centered Planning was developed to:
- introduce a planning process that focuses on individual capacities;
- review tools that can be used to implement this process;
- outline how using this process can enhance student self-determination and participation in the IEP/transition process; and
- explain how to incorporate this process into the development of transition focused IEPs.
Module 3 - Promoting Student Self-Determination
Promoting Student Self-Determination was developed to increase awareness of self-determination and to explore ways to facilitate self-determination in youth with disabilities. All transition stakeholders should have a thorough understanding of:
- the critical role self-determination plays in successful transitions from school to adult life, the process leading toward self-determination;
- the variety of roles families, teachers, administrators and service providers play in promoting self-determination; and,
- the knowledge of a variety of resources that support the development of students' self-determination.
Module 4 - Transition: Centerpiece of the IEP
Transition: Centerpiece of the IEP was developed to introduce an IEP transition planning process that utilizes interrelated steps that build upon each other. This method of developing the transition IEP focuses on preparation for the adult world. The end result is a comprehensive, dynamic and coordinated IEP transition program that reflects the student's vision for adult life.
Introduction to TOTAL Modules 5 through 9
Module 5 - Implementation of Secondary Transition Best Practices
Implementation of Secondary Transition Best Practices has been developed to introduce a process that supports school district/community teams to conduct a self-assessment of their status in implementing transition best practices, and develop best practice implementation priorities through the use an action plan template to design a work plan that will assist them in improving secondary transition planning and services.
Module 6 - Interagency Collaboration and Transition
Interagency Collaboration and Transition has been developed to increase the knowledge of transition stakeholders regarding collaboration, the development of interagency agreements and increase their ability to use strategies and implement models that will support and empower communities to come together as collaborative partners on behalf of youth with disabilities and their families to facilitate smooth, seamless and successful transitions.
Module 7 - Adult Life Outcomes for Students with Disabilities: A World of Opportunity
Adult Life Outcomes for Students with Disabilities: A World of Opportunity has been developed to provide transition stakeholders with a look at the adult life outcomes that young adults with disabilities might consider and to provide a wide range of resources to support the planning, development and implementation of transition-focused Individualized Education Programs (IEP).
Module 8 - SSI and Transition Planning
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Transition Planning has been developed to provide transition stakeholders with basic information about SSI and its role in supporting young adults with disabilities as they move toward transition to the adult world and their chosen outcomes. Additionally, this module provides teachers and school personnel with the information they need to accurately complete necessary SSI documentation for their students who are applying. A wide range of resources are provided.
Module 9 - Health and Medical Issues in Transition Planning
Health and Medical Issues in Transition Planning has been developed to increase awareness and knowledge of transition-related medical issues for individuals with chronic health conditions/disabilities. Health care transition planning is discussed in the areas of independent living, college and employment.

A barbarous timeFebruary 20,2013Bernard Bailyn, professor of history emeritus at Harvard, has written several times about various aspects of early American history. One such work was a sympathetic biography of Thomas Hutchinson, the last colonial governor of Massachusetts who over the years has received bad press from people favoring Samuel Adams and writing about the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.
Bailyns latest work, issued last year, is about the peopling of British North America, 1600 to 1675. The books title is The Barbarous Years, and those years were barbarous in more ways than one not only settlers against Indians but settlers against settlers.
The account is not exactly chronological. It covers each of the different regions in a separate chronological order. First there is the settlement of Virginia. Then comes the settlement in Maryland, where the Catholic proprietors were often at odds with Protestant settlers. Next are the Swedish and Dutch settlements in the region of whats now Delaware and New York, and then the Pilgrims at Plymouth and finally the other Puritans in the Boston region.
The methods used in settlement varied from section to section. Virginia promoters had to advertise several times with glowing descriptions of what was in store, bringing new settlers who were often disappointed. The Puritans came initially in a single fleet, to escape religious oppression at home, and if they found disappointment it was not because they were spiritually unprepared for such things.
The first 31 pages of the book are given over to an extensive description of Indian life in the area in question, and those pages alone should be required reading for anyone wishing to understand the nature of pre-European Indian attitudes.
In the first place, ownership of land was communal. Families farmed on family plots, or hunted as families, but the garden plots and hunting areas were the tribes. So an individual did not have a stretch of land that was private property. The author says a real estate dealership would have been unimaginable.
So when a tribe north of Manhattan sold some land to the Dutch, it did so believing it was merely giving the Dutch the right to have access to the communal property in question. The Indians couldnt understand no trespassing signs if they went up.
This way of thought was not limited to Indians on the East Coast. My parents knew a family whose forbears had settled on land west of Chicago. The farmhouse was built in the 1870s. Less than a dozen years later the family was at dinner when some Indians came in the front door and exited out the back door. It turned out the house had been built on a trail used for decades by tribes in the area on the way to a river, and they were not about to let an unwanted obstruction get in their way.
One of the things I learned from Bailyns book is that Pocahontas was not the given name of the girl who rescued John Smith. That was a nickname given to her when she was young. Her given name was Amonute.
The affairs of her father, Chief Powhatan, in trying to extend and consolidate his tribes authority, are given considerable detail, because that condition had an effect on how the Indians reacted to the English arrival in Jamestown, and how the English reacted to the Indians.
Just as they were arriving, the tribal habits of centuries were being changed by the advent of the fur trade. But the author says the living conditions of most tribes were far better than what could be found in many European cities.
Curiously enough, given todays comment on whether Muslim women should be allowed to wear certain headgear in public, the author describes how Roger Williams, before he was ejected from Massachusetts, insisted when he was in Salem that women should wear veils in public. He had several ideas at variance with what was accepted at the time, though he is praised today for coming to the belief that people should be free to worship as they see fit.
That was certainly not the case in Massachusetts at the time. Quakers, when they were caught, were whipped and ejected from the colony. If they returned, they were branded.
The author has a favorable word for Peter Stuyvesant as the most effective governor of New Netherlands. I had forgotten that though the English took over the colony in the 1660s, they lost it to the Dutch in a later naval war, and didnt get it back until after the end of that war. The contrast between Dutch landowners and English administrators is extensively documented.
The Pequod tribe of Indians in what is now Connecticut was active, pagan and warlike, leading the Puritans to treat them as underlings of the devil. So they had no compunction about eliminating them in what amounted to a series of massacres.
The slave trade was profitable for New England shipping companies, and slaves were much better than indentured white servants, in the minds of the Virginia tobacco planters, so that institution got an early start.
This is not always a pleasant book to read, but it should be absorbed if one wants to understand the reality of early European arrivals.

We all have busy schedules. It isn't just school- it's school related stuff, non-school stuff, social commitments, volunteer endeavors, working out, visiting family, and soon- holiday shopping. With busy lives, often finding the time to prepare a home-cooked meal can be quite a challenge, and getting started is often the hardest part. I know it's always hard for me…or at least it is most of the time! The new Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ cooking sauces give a big head start to dinner and come in 5 different varieties which can be used in a number of ways. While I might not use a product like this every night, it's definitely a HUGE help when I lose track of time (frequently) or have *ahem* dinner cooking issues…and need to start something else FAST.
Progresso Recipe Starters sauces are available in the soup aisle and come in five varieties that can each be used as a starter to create numerous home-cooked meals. For added inspiration, Progresso created 80 recipes utilizing this new line of cooking sauces that can be found on Progresso.com/RecipeStarters. Many of these recipes are classic family favorites, such as Bacon Mac n' Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Parmesan, and utilize ingredients your family may already have on-hand. (Bacon Mac n Cheese? Yes, please!)
Inspired by the five "Mother" Sauces that form the basis of classical French cooking, including Béchamel, Velouté, Tomato, Espagnole and Hollandaise, Recipe Starters use a variety of ingredients and the best techniques to make sure you have delicious options to take on the school days dinner dilemma.
The five varieties are: Creamy Parmesan Basil: This creamy, full-bodied and indulgent sauce that was inspired by alfredo and creamy pesto sauces can be used to make dishes such as Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken, Creamy Chicken Alfredo, Basil Chicken Ravioli Carbonara and Basil Chicken Thai Noodle ( I am going to try the last of these recipes sometime this week. Sounds delicious. I just have to print a coupon (see below) before I go to maximize my savings!)
Creamy Roasted Garlic with Chicken Stock: With caramelized, roasted chicken broth, garlic and a touch of cream, this stock is perfect for dishes such as Creamy Lemon Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Enchiladas (I LOVE chicken pot pie and enchiladas. These sauces are so versatile, and that means having some on hand gives ME options for last minute dinners!)
Fire Roasted Tomato: A medium-thick tomato sauce, accompanied by flavors of roasted, caramelized tomatoes, oregano and bell peppers, which can be used as a great way to begin creating Pulled Chicken Sandwiches, Easy Weeknight Chicken Parmesan, Cheese-stuffed Mini Meat Loaves and Mole Tacos (This one is delicious. I used this in meatloaf and everyone commented on how good it was that night!! I think we're making Mole Tacos in the next week or so- this sauce makes it such a breeze to get dinner put together!)
Creamy Portabella Mushroom: Creamy and highly indulgent, this smooth sauce is rich with sautéed Portabella mushrooms, giving you any easy way to start delicious dishes like Easy Weeknight Beef Stroganoff, Steak and Mushroom Sandwich and Tetrazzini (I am NOT a mushroom person, so I passed ours along to a friend who IS and who reports back that this is a great sauce to have on hand for busy nights when she's not got a lot of time!)
Creamy Three Cheese: Rich and creamy with a blend of yellow and white cheeses, and a savory background of chicken stock, onion, garlic and cracked pepper, this is a great way to satisfy cheese lovers with Easy Weeknight Bacon Mac & Cheese, Twice-Baked Potato Pizza and Cheesy Egg Breakfast Tacos (I LOVE cheese. This is quite marvelous and easily my favorite. Plus…Bacon mac and cheese. Need I say more?)

Rapper Dominique Larue long approached her music like Muhammad Ali stepping up to the podium, filling her verses with over-the-top boasts about her verbal dexterity and blow-by-blow accounts of the various lyrical beat downs she was gearing up to inflict on those rival MCs who dared cross her path.
But on the recently completed Grand, which Larue will unleash at a record release party at Double Happiness on Friday, April 4, the rapper finally drops her guard, paying homage to family members both departed ("Attucks," for one, includes a tribute to her late grandmother, who died before the MC was born) and new to the fold ("Feels Good," the first song the rapper has penned about her son).
"I'm from the whole battling aspect of rapping, so when I first started creating music it was about saying, 'I'm better than you,'" said Larue, born Dominique Owens 29 years ago, in a late March phone interview. "As time went on I was like, 'OK, let me open up a little more about the things I go through every day.' I think it has to do with growth. When you're creating music you don't want to make the same thing every time out."
This new direction was influenced in large part by the rich, soulful backdrops constructed by Maja 7th. The Washington D.C.-based producer, born Michael Chamberlin, imbued his beats with a heavenly quality, crafting a lace-delicate backdrop awash in lush strings and flowering beds of horn. These gentler arrangements, in turn, helped inform Larue's more introspective approach.
"I don't write at all before I listen to the beats. I might jot down ideas — huge might — but I tend to let the music take me wherever," the rapper said. "I'm really private when it comes to [my son]. That's just the mother in me. But when I heard the beat that's just how I felt. It was like, 'Yo, I've gotta talk about my son on this one.'"
Larue, who was born and raised in Columbus, crafted her earliest rhymes at the age of 7, and was the first rapper to earn a degree from Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School, an arts-intensive institution on the northeast outskirts of Downtown where she studied vocational music. In addition to heightening her musical acumen — "You couldn't sit around and write raps all day [at Fort Hayes], so I studied piano as well," she said — the program allowed the burgeoning MC to perform in spaces musicians tended only to visit when stricken by illness (Riverside Hospital) or when checking in for an extended vacation stay (the lobby of a downtown hotel). It also forced Larue to increase her vocabulary, since curse words were strictly forbidden in school-related showcases.
"I couldn't cuss, and back then I used to cuss a lot," she said, and laughed. "Going through that experience it was like, 'OK, how many words are there in the English language? Then why do I keep going back and using those same four words over and over again?' It definitely broadened my horizons."
It's a shift that even bled over into her choice of reading material, and during her freshman year of high school Larue would often find herself thumbing through the dictionary as though it was YA fiction. Soon after, she adopted the name Intalekt, a short-lived moniker chosen to better reflect her rapidly expanding vocabulary.
While Larue has long had a love affair with hip-hop — her influences stretch from De La Soul and Queen Latifah to Lauryn Hill and Outkast's Andre 3000 — she also takes inspiration from artists that fall well outside that musical sphere, including Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse and, uh, John Denver.
"I know this is going to sound crazy, but [Denver's] music almost sounds like hip-hop to me with the way he puts his words together," Larue said. "When I'm looking for inspiration I always look to people I think are dope, regardless of [genre]. Songwriting is such an incredible art, and creatively speaking I just want to make sure I reach that next plateau."
Considering how far the MC has come, it'd be a mistake to bet against her.
The first time Larue stepped into a professional recording studio with producer DJ O Sharp she said she was completely lost. "He would get so flustered … like, 'You gotta surf the beat. You gotta surf it!'" she said. "And I was like, 'What do you even mean?'"
And now?
"Now I know what it means, and I know how to flow with the beat and project my voice," Larue said. "As the years go by you just get better each time out. Now it's really second nature."
