PODCASTING COMES TO INSTAPUNDIT: This was actually Helen's idea, and with the book done I finally had some time. The first InstaPundit/Dr. Helen podcast is online, and you can play it by clicking here.
Today's episode features an interview with blogger Michelle Malkin, talking about her book Unhinged, her life as a blogger, the Washington Post and the Bill Roggio affair, the Condi Rice presidency, and whether she plans to follow in the footsteps of Wonkette.
Also, a musical interview with Audra Coldiron, of Audra and the Antidote, about how the Internet makes it possible to be a mother, a musician, and a web designer, plus how her high school horrors led to adult creativity, and a surprising enthusiasm for homeschooling.
If you want to subscribe, the RSS 2.0 feed is here. (It's also in the right-hand column). Just copy the link and paste it into your podcast-listening software; then you'll get new episodes automatically.
If you've got suggestions for future shows, drop 'em in the comments over at Helen's blog — she's the producer.
UPDATE: I guess podcasting is inherently unconservative. That's okay!

That drought is putting a big strain on the Colorado River, which supplies water to about 40 million people in seven different states. Federal officials have called a meeting today in San Diego to try to address the issue.
Jay Famiglietti, Director of the UC Center for Hydrologic Modelling at UC Irvine, joins the show to explain.

St. Mark's has a rich history dating back to October 6, 1836, when it was incorporated as an Episcopal parish in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At that time, Grand Rapids had only 500 inhabitants. In the spring of 1840, measures were taken to construct a suitable building. A parcel of land was donated at the corner now known as Division and Pearl streets. The present building was occupied in October 1848 and was consecrated on September 9, 1849. It is the oldest public building still standing in the city. Its features include walls made with stone quarried from the Grand River and the original, hand carved woodwork that is found throughout the interior.

This year's theme is "More Than Meets The Eye." We are challenging our artists and our audience to look deeper than the surface of the work. Each artist has a voice, each piece tells a story. I specifically chose works by artists who wanted to share something of themselves or something that they wanted to share. Whether it is a political or social statement, homage to where they live, about their past it was important to me to give the artists room to tell their story. The space will have an array of works including film, installation pieces, 2D in photography, collage and paintings, murals, 3D and outdoor audience participation work. The artists we select will have varied backgrounds as well as levels of experience. It is our thought the exhibition space should glean works from beginning, emerging and established artists and combine them for one exhibit.

Artists show work in three buildings, slated for complete removal by the end of 2017 — an auto garage, a former church, and the church's rectory — to present works that explore the complex narratives of pain, joy, and fear of a community in transition. The Cultura Collective returns to invite viewers to consider these perspectives, histories, and narratives and their varied forms of documentation in the midst of significant development and growth. UNDOCUMENTED / INDOCUMENTADO seeks to highlight the mostly untold stories of people directly affected by this growth, and to honor and maintain elements — both cultural and historic — of this community during major change.

Dr. Pimsleur's extremely accessible and successful program teaches you language in the same way a native speaker would--through exposure to everyday, normal conversations. Instead of chopping up a foreign language into a little bit of grammar and a dash of vocabulary, he presents the language as a whole. And rather than memorizing repetitive drills that only dull learning, the Pimsleur "input/output" system of learning actually challenges your brain, and asking you to recall what you've learned.
Basic Ojibwe will provide you with the vocabulary and language tools to learn the basics of a foreign language quickly and easily. You can listen anywhere, in the car or jogging, while the audio-only instruction teaches you spoken language organically. Thirty minute lessons with both grammar and vocabulary are designed to optimize the amount of language that can be learned in one sitting. The Basic Pimsleur Program is comprised of the first 10 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Level 1 course. 5 Audio CDs included.

We had an excellent start to the day when Aunty Joyce offered us an assortment of coffee. She brought out a dark oak box with various flavors of coffee in colourful metallic cups. It was a coffee treasure chest. We picked our coffee after carefully researching each flavour in a booklet that provide a rich description of each cup. Coffee was followed by hot crossed buns, toast, and oranges. Thanks Aunty Joyce!
Then we were off to take the metro to downtown Toronto. Our first stop was the Hockey Hall of Fame. It was a fantastic blend of history and activity. I must admit I felt a little sorry for Brent touring around the museum with two girls clueless about the sport. But his expertise quickly turned to our advantage, because we got our own tour guide. He patiently explained each exhibit and the backstory to each player and team. I had one goal.... To touch the Stanley Cup. But while we were at the museum the cup was on it's own Canadian tour to visit the hometowns of the La Kings, being triumphantly held above the head of Willie Mitchell over looking the Rocky Mountains. However, Brent explained that there are 3 real cups. The original cup which was there inside a vault (the museum was originally a bank) at the museum, which was first Stanley Cup. It was behind glass, so I settled for a picture. Then Brent described the touring cup, which is what we see on tv. And finally, the third cup, the display cup. As I exited the vault I entered a large room with a high stained glass ceiling, surround by various trophies enclosed in glass. And at the far end was the display cup. It stood proud, expertly polished, and free from a glass case. I walked up and touched it. The three of us stood next to the Canadian icon, we were in the presence of a true victorious legacy. I don't know if it was the intensity of the moment or my hunger but it was time to take a lunch break for so mediocore Thai soup in the food court.
When we returned it was time for the interactive part. There were simulators where you could shoot the puck or be the goalie. But my favourite part was the play by play simulator where your voice is recorded while you describe the game you see on the tv screen. All in all, the Hockey Hall of Fame was a lot fun.
Next we were off to the CN Tower. We took the elevator up to the top and looked at the skyline of Toronto. On this level there was also a glass floor that you could walk on. Cautiously, we edged our way onto the tip of the glass floor. Julia and I needed a little more convincing that it was safe to step on. Brent went for the gusto and walked right across the floor from end to end. But I like a challenge and eventually mustered up the courage to follow in Brent's footsteps. The fear of seeing the ground so far beneath you was almost paralyzing. After we calmed our anxiously beating hearts we took an elevator up to the highest point of the tower. It looked like a flea circus below, the people tiny black dots, the cars like hot wheels.
By the time we came back down it was starting to get late, but we had one more stop; the CBC studio. Inside was empty, everyone had gone home for the day. We were too late. But we toured the empty halls. The floor was paved with stars with names of the CBC personalities; Rick Mercer, Don Cherry, etc. Then we saw it. Standing out in the open in the hall. Mr. Dressup's tree. We climbed the front, and took pictures. But our sense of childlike exploration began to grow. I creeped around back and found the door inside. Surely it would be locked. I pulled at the door and it opened. Julia excitement bubbled over. We got in side. We were inside Mr. Dressup's tree. It was a place where childhood expectation, imagination, and dreams come to meet. We were all in disbelief that we were inside the tree, but I must admit, Julia wins for the most excited. She bounced around wide eyed. I could practically see the four year in her awake up.

WWE color commentator Corey Graves caught up with Edge and Christian on E&C's Pod Of Awesomeness last week before Jonathan Coachman replaced Booker T on commentary on WWE Monday Night RAW. Among many other things, Graves discussed his transition from NXT commentary to WWE main roster programming, the infamous list of banned words in WWE, the differences in calling RAW and SmackDown Live, and whether RAW is too long with its three-hour runtime per episode.
According to Graves the most difficult adjustment in going from the black and yellow brand to the main roster was getting accustomed to all of the voices in his headset now, including one unnamed "wacky 71 year old billionaire".
"Oh, that's a whole different ballgame!" Graves exclaimed. "It was a bit of an adjustment because I went from NXT where it was obviously a taped show, so I had my producer in my ear and I heard my partner. That was basically the only two voices I had to worry about. Every once in a while, [Michael] Cole would jump in and say something, but generally it was very easy. You didn't have to worry about live counts to commercial breaks or anything like that, so fast forward to RAW, now I've got Booker, I've got Cole, I've got Kevin Dunn, I've got any number of people sitting in gorilla who have information that they want to pass on to me, and then, we've got the wacky 71 year old billionaire who decides to spew things out when he feels like it, and when he says it, you'd better say it! Yeah, and so, it's weird. That was the hardest thing because I think on a human level, when you have someone talking in your ear, you stop, you stop talking, and that's your instinct."
'Gravy' joked that while this is a list of prohibited terms for WWE commentators, this list is constantly changing.
"Even though there's a list of things you're not supposed to say or you're not supposed to do," Graves explained, "that changes on an hourly basis. Yeah, it happened on back-to-back weeks! We had this edict in a production meeting a couple of weeks ago where, after a backstage pretape, there's a wide shot of the crowd, and just let everything breathe. Don't talk over it. Don't react to it. Just kind of let everyone digest what they just saw. Makes sense. That's perfectly logical. Last night, something happens, there's a live shot [of the audience]. The three of us [on commentary] shut up. 'Why didn't anyone say anything?' 'I don't know. I don't know. I'm sorry. Clearly, I made up this idea in my head that we weren't supposed to say anything. I don't know.'"
With respect to the differences between calling RAW and SmackDown, Graves likened the latter to an infomercial. At its worst, the blue brand is splashy, superficial, and fast.
"SmackDown, to me, is incredibly fast-paced, which sometimes is fun and other times can be kind of difficult," Graves admitted. "Three hours versus to two doesn't seem like it would be that huge of a world of difference, but I mean it absolutely is. Monday, we never struggle for time to tell the stories and you get a lot more two [segment] matches or just plenty of time to do whatever business you need to do. SmackDown, to me, feels more like an informercial where it's bam, bam, bam. Here's this. Here's that. Plug this. Let's throw to break. Let's throw to this package. And you've got to two rosters that are roughly the same size, so, obviously, everyone needs their airtime to have their stories told. I just feel like SmackDown is so I don't want to say 'rushed' because it's just fast."
Graves indicated that he prefers working RAW to SmackDown.
"I have more fun on Mondays because I can really help delve into a story or a character with some layers, some depth, because that's what's fun to me." Graves added, "I make most of this stuff up. Some guys will come up to me and give me little tidbits here and there, but usually I'll just go into business for myself and try to make myself laugh."
As a commentator, Graves prefers having more time to tell the stories; however, 'The Savior Of Misbehavior' claimed he could understand how some fans prefer SmackDown's two-hour format.
"I completely understand and I look at it this way. And I actually agree with you. Three hours is a really long time. From a personal perspective, I enjoy getting to do what I do longer. I don't feel rushed." Graves continued, "it's a lot of an investment to ask for anybody's time for anything! Three hours is a long, long time, so I get that. I think the pacing of SmackDown, from a fan's perspective, I could see that actually being a little more enjoyable and from the best of my recollection, RAW used to be like that. When it was two hours, it was a lot more, bang, bang, bang, here's this match, here's that match, boom, boom, boom, constantly moving."

Gertrude Stein Daughter Analysis Essay
Gertrude Stein 1874–1946
American novelist, poet, essayist, biographer, and playwright. See also Gertrude Stein Short Story Criticism and Gertrude Stein Drama Criticism.
Stein is regarded as a major figure of literary Modernism and is one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Rejecting the conventions of early nineteenth-century literature, she developed an abstract manner of expression that was a counterpart in language to the work of the Post-Impressionists and Cubists in the visual arts. Stein wrote prolifically in many genres, composing novels, poetry, plays, biographies, and opera libretti.
Biographical Information
The youngest daughter of a wealthy Jewish-American family, Stein spent most of her childhood in Oakland, California. In 1893 she enrolled in the all-female Harvard Annex, which later became Radcliffe College. There she attended classes taught by the psychologist William James, who influenced her intellectual development. Intending to become a psychologist, she began medical studies at Johns Hopkins University, but left without completing her degree.
Stein then devoted herself to her writing, starting work on her first novels. However, commercial publishers initially rejected her work, and Stein was forced to subsidize the printing of her first books. In 1903 she and her brother Leo settled in Paris. Their apartment became the gathering place of artists and writers, most notably Pablo Picasso, whose work Stein greatly admired. He and other Cubist painters broke their subjects down to essential geometric forms, then reassembled those forms in ways that offered the viewer startling new perceptions. This revolution in the visual arts encouraged Stein to formulate a literary aesthetic that would similarly violate existing formal conventions in order to allow the reader to experience language and ideas in provocative new ways. In 1909 Stein began living with Alice B. Toklas, a young woman from California, with whom she developed a close relationship that Stein referred to as a marriage. Toklas played a vital part in Stein's literary work, helping her to prepare manuscripts, providing her with much-needed encouragement, and serving as a subject for Stein's poetry. They remained together for the rest of Stein's life. During World War I, Stein won commendation for her volunteer work as a medical supply driver. After the war, Stein became the friend and mentor of a number of American writers gathered in Paris during the 1920s, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Sherwood Anderson. At this time, Stein was as well known for her
many friendships with talented artists and writers and with wealthy and famous persons as for her literary work. Urged by a publisher to write her memoirs, she produced The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, which became a best-seller and made her an international celebrity. Forced to remain in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, Stein and Toklas, both Jewish, were protected from anti-Semitic persecution by friends and local officials. Stein continued to write prolifically and maintained a very active social life until her death from cancer in 1946.
Major Works
Although she is regarded as an experimentalist, the works for which Stein is best known are written in more conventional forms: Three Lives (1909), The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933), Everybody's Autobiography (1937), and Wars I Have Seen (1945). These works span the three chronological phases into which Stein's literary career is often divided: The first includes her early novels; the second is marked by the 925-page-long The Making of Americans (1925); the third offers the popular Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933) and other personal memoirs, some of social and political import such as Brewsie and Willie (1946), a set of dialogues pertaining to the atomic bomb and World War II.
Throughout all these periods, she wrote poetry. Tender Buttons (1914) was the only volume to appear during her life. This book, a presentation of prose poems arranged in three sections, Objects, Food, and Rooms, has been decoded as a set of romantic praises to Toklas. The poems make playful use of words and purposefully reject the restrictions of form that Stein associated with the poetry of a "patriarchal" tradition. Her other poems were published posthumously in the Yale Edition of the Unpublished Works of Gertrude Stein. Among the most critically examined of these are "Patriarchal Poetry" and "Lifting Belly" from Bee Time Vine and Other Pieces 1913-1927, "With a Wife" from Painted Lace and Other Pieces 1914-1937, "A Birthday Book" from Alphabets and Birthdays (1924), and "Stanzas in Meditation," a lengthy introspec tive work, included in Stanzas in Meditation and Other Poems (written between 1929-1933). Critics have found in many of these poems expressions of her relationship with Toklas, using private symbols to obscure their homoerotic theme.
Critical Reception
Stein's work has not lent itself to the thematic textual explications that have dominated critical approaches in the twentieth century. Commentary abounds with marginalizing terms such as "hermetic," "difficult," "experimental," and "inaccessible." Rather than interpret her poetry, critics often simply labeled Stein as a renegade contributing to the innovations of modern poetry through her eccentric style. Reactions to Stein's poetry were frequently characterized by derision and suggestions that the poems were mere nonsense. After Stein's prose received critical acclaim and popular acceptance through her publication of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933), attempts were made by critics to explain Tender Buttons, the only book of Stein's poetry accessible to the public at that time. B.F. Skinner created controversy by asserting that Tender Buttons is an experiment in "automatic writing," a topic Stein studied during medical school. Stein responded: "Artists do not experiment." A more direct approach to understanding her style was taken by some critics after the publication of Stein's essay "Poetry and Grammar" in Lectures in America (1935), reading her poems in light of her stated theories. In the 1950s, Yale University Press's publication of eight volumes of previously unpublished poems by Stein created a renewed academic interest in decoding her works. Allegra Stewart's studies of Stein, beginning in the late fifties, use Jungian analysis to suggest that Stein's creativity is a form of religious meditation. During the 1960s and 1970s, critical approaches focusing on the structure of the poems frequently compared Stein's fragmented style to that of Cubist paintings. At the same time, the women's movement produced a new interest in Stein's poetry. Feminist critics, notably Marianne DeKoven, examined the works in relation to those of Stein's contemporaries as statements of rebellion against a male-dominated tradition. Since the 1970s, a number of critics, starting with Richard Bridgman, have focused on erotic readings of Stein's work, using biographical information to detect a symbolism that they claim veils Stein's expressions of lesbian love. In the 1980s and 1990s, the emergence of semiotics resulted in criticism that attempted to come to terms with the great diversity, play, resonance, and perception in Stein's work.
Gertrude Stein was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, on February 3, 1874, to wealthy German-Jewish immigrants. At the age of three, her family moved first to Vienna and then to Paris. They returned to America in 1878 and settled in Oakland, California. Her mother, Amelia, died of cancer in 1888 and her father, Daniel, died in 1891.
Stein attended Radcliffe College from 1893 to 1897, where she specialized in Psychology under noted psychologist William James. After leaving Radcliffe, she enrolled at the Johns Hopkins University, where she studied medicine for four years, leaving in 1901. Stein did not receive a formal degree from either institution.
In 1903, Stein moved to Paris with Alice B. Toklas, a younger friend from San Francisco who would remain her partner and secretary throughout her life. The couple did not return to the United States for over thirty years.
Together with Toklas and her brother Leo, an art critic and painter, Stein took an apartment on the Left Bank. Their home, 27 rue de Fleurus, soon became gathering spot for many young artists and writers including Henri Matisse, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, Max Jacob, and Guillaume Apollinaire.
She was a passionate advocate for the "new" in art, her literary friendships grew to include writers as diverse as William Carlos Williams, Djuana Barnes, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway. It was to Hemingway that Stein coined the phrase "the lost generation" to describe the expatriate writers living abroad between the wars.
By 1913, Stein's support of cubist painters and her increasingly avant-garde writing caused a split with her brother Leo, who moved to Florence. Her first book, Three Lives, was published in 1909. She followed it with Tender Buttons in 1914.
Tender Buttons clearly showed the profound effect modern painting had on her writing. In these small prose poems, images and phrases come together in often surprising ways—similar in manner to cubist painting. Her writing, characterized by its use of words for their associations and sounds rather than their meanings, received considerable interest from other artists and writers, but did not find a wide audience.
Sherwood Anderson in the introduction to Geography and Plays (1922) wrote that her writing "consists in a rebuilding, and entire new recasting of life, in the city of words."
Among Stein's most influential works are The Making of Americans (1925); How to Write (1931); The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933), which was a best-seller; and Stanzas in Meditation and Other Poems [1929-1933] (1956).
In 1934, the biographer T. S. Matthews described her as a "solid elderly woman, dressed in no-nonsense rough-spun clothes," with "deep black eyes that make her grave face and its archaic smile come alive."
Stein died at the American Hospital at Neuilly on July 27, 1946, of inoperable cancer.
