Kim Kardashian Baby Bump PHOTOS: Flaunts Pregnant Stomach in Tight Pencil Skirt
Kim Kardashian's baby bump is definitely getting growing. The reality tv actress was spotted in a tight pencil skirt on Sunday, revealing her growing pregnant belly.
Kim Kardashian's baby bump is definitely growing. The reality tv actress was spotted in a tight pencil skirt on Sunday, revealing her growing pregnant belly.
Kim was photographed leaving her Beverly Hills home in a color block outfit, with a high wasted blue skirt, black shirt and black pumps. Her five-and-a-half- month-old baby bump was on full display, as she showed off her curvy figure.
See photo here:
In a recent episode of Kim and Kourtney Take Miami, the mother-to-be was shocked when her friend Jonathan Cheban shows her that she appeared on the worst-dressed fashion list. She verbally expressed her frustrations, saying that its difficult to keep up with her image because she always has to look good being Kanye West's girlfriend. She was concerned that she might hurt Kanye West's fashionable reputation and that people assumed he was responsible for her poor wardrobe selections.
The actress decided to resolve the issue by going on a shopping spree with Cheban and sister, Kourtney. When they get to the mall, she buys thousands of dollars worth of expensive designer clothes. Kourtney called Kim a shopaholic and told her that she has already spent a lot of money on clothes.
Kim revealed that shopping online makes her happy. When Kim met with her financial advisor, she was told that if she continued to spend alot of money, it might affect in the long run when she decided to purchase her dream home.
Despite the fashionista trying to keep up with West's image, she did reveal in a recent interview that her unborn baby's name will most likely begin with K, after her and West.
"I think it would be really cute cause Kanye and I are both K's," Kim admitted to Extra's Maria Menounos over the weekend, "but half the names on our list aren't K's. ... We still have time, whatever feels right."
Although rumors swirled last week that the couple would be naming their child North West, Kim said that West wants a name that no one else has.
"Kanye being the father wants something that's unique," she said.
Kim also revealed that although celebrity magazine covers have focused on her weight, she confessed that she is not overweight.
"There are maybe two or three covers just this week that say I am 200 pounds. I'm like, 'You are 60 pounds off here."

Do You Want to See More Spider-Man Movies?
by Entertainment 20 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Despite some mixed reactions to the third Spider-Man movie, the film did extremely well at the box office and we've known for a while that Sony is interested in continuing the franchise. Now there's confirmation that the studio is moving forward in the planning of the fourth film, though they apparently "have some decisions to make" in regard to casting.
How do you feel about more Spider-Man movies? Do you like that they're making more Spidey stories? Or are you tired of this superhero?

no, the 3rd one was so awful! i am bored of spidey and also batman...so won't be seeing the dark knight this summer.

Oh goodness no. The third one was enough. Actually I recall hearing that Tobey Maguire didn't even want to do the third Spidey flick, but I see he did anyway. I've never seen any of the Spidey movies, I don't see the appeal in the comic-book character and they throw a stupid love story into it too.

I liked the first, loved the second. But the third one was SO bad...I can't even force myself to rent it. Peter Parker's emo look was sooo embarrassing and just weird. For that reason, I probably wouldn't want anymore. It could work with the right story, but really it's probably best to leave it alone at this point.

yeah.. no. still recovering from the shock of the third one. they really should wait a few years and get someone who won't make it supercampy, and who will redeem it again like the nolan bros. did for batman in batman begins. cannot wait for tdk, though, lol.
killitded83 6 years
hmm... well, I've seen them all and I really like them... but don't you think it would be pushing their ,luck to make another one? the third movie had pretty good success, but if they make a fourth movie and it turns out to be a flop, it will tarnish the reputation of the first 3 as well.

Harry Redknapp leading the Sack Race as Alan Pardew earns respite
With roughly 25 percent of the Premier League season in the books, here is a look at the managers on the chopping block and those who know their jobs are safe...for now. Nick Miller brings you the ESPN FC Sack Race.
The front runner
"How long before there is serious talk of Harry Redknapp being in trouble at QPR?" the Sack Race asked last month. That time has very much arrived, with Redknapp now the bookies' favourite (odds to be the next manager to go are 2/1) to be sent on his way. The win...

Warm waters send millions of salmon to Canada, not Wash.
Unusually warm water off the Washington coast is sending the vast majority of the sockeye-salmon run to Canadian waters, leaving Puget Sound fishermen with nearly empty nets.
The Associated Press
BELLINGHAM — Unusually warm water off the Washington coast is sending the vast majority of the sockeye-salmon run to Canadian waters, leaving Puget Sound fishermen with nearly empty nets.
According to data from the Pacific Salmon Commission, nearly 2.9 million sockeye have been caught in Canadian waters, while only about 98,000 have been netted in Washington through Aug. 19.
That means 99 percent of sockeye have gone through the Johnstone Strait around the northern part of Vancouver Island into Canadian waters.
During a typical sockeye-salmon run, about 50 percent of the run goes around the south end of Vancouver Island through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, putting them in U.S. waters, The Bellingham Herald reported.
This year's diversion rate is unusual. If it stays around this level, it would be the highest diversion rate on record, dating from 1953, said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission.
The sockeye run is expected to continue for several more weeks, so U.S. fishermen like Pete Granger hope to salvage what they can. Granger is a reefnet fisherman who is operating his boat near Lummi Island. He has been catching fish for the Lummi Island Wild Co-op for the past eight years.
"It could be one of the worst seasons we've had in a long time," Granger said. The fishing numbers in U.S. waters started to improve at the end of last week, with several weeks left in the season.
Several factors could be behind why sockeye decided to head for the Johnstone Strait this summer, but researchers are looking closely at an area of ocean water off the coast that is about 3 degrees Celsius warmer than normal. Nick Bond, a research scientist for the University of Washington, refers to this area as a "warm blob" that developed last winter as the Pacific Northwest went through a period of unusually quiet weather. Last winter, the area had stretches of cool, windless and foggy days.
The calm weather meant the ocean didn't do its usual churning of deeper, colder water up to the surface. With this pattern continuing into summer, the warm area has persisted. Sockeye prefer cooler water, which may be why most of the run went north around Vancouver Island.
Bond believes the development of the warm blob is not a direct result of global warming but more of a fluke. Looking back at past data, there has been the occasional season when a cold area has developed off the coast, sending the sockeye south of Vancouver Island into U.S. waters.
This season's event is giving scientists a chance to learn what impact a warmer ocean would have on this area's ecosystem, giving them more information to make better predictions.
Given the current weather models, Bond said, the warm blob could be around for a while, possibly well into 2015. There's also the potential of El Niño developing later this year, bringing warm water to the area. If that's the case, it could be disruptive for next year's pink-salmon run as well.

Haslam to seek cut in food sales tax, defer action on higher ed
Send this to a friend
- Staff Nashville Business Journal
Gov. Bill Haslam in January will ask legislators to cut the state's sales tax on grocery food by a quarter of a percent, from 5.25 percent to 5 percent, The Commercial Appeal reports.
If approved, it would be the second reduction in the state's food sales tax in as many years.
In a press conference Tuesday, Haslam also said he wouldn't propose major changes to the state's higher education system. Haslam remains undecided on whether he will take a lead role in pushing for school-voucher legislation, The Appeal reports.

Welp!!! No lies!
if you think black women wearing their hair natural is unprofessional you are racist.
if a white woman worked in a store with hair she hadnt brushed and called it her "natural" hair it would still be unprofessional.
A black woman's natural hair is of the same quality as a white woman's unkempt hair.

Should Cyclists Need Licenses to Ride? Portland Weighs the Question
There's a rumble brewing over in Portlandia and the national bike community is paying attention. With a through-the-looking-glass perspective that perhaps could only be possible in bike-mad Portland, local business owner, Bob Huckaby, thinks the local bike boom has taxed a city infrastructure that can no longer keep up. His solution: mandate licenses for every cyclist without a drivers license and put license plates on every bike.
Huckaby's not just spouting hot air either—he's determined to get the 87,000 signatures required to get the initiative on the statewide ballot, he's hired a lawyer to help craft the language, and he told Bike Portland's Jonathan Maus that he's already gotten plenty of support for his proposal.
If you're really going to talk about 'share the roads', and this is what it's all about," Huckaby said today, "everybody has to be on the same playing field...I'll share the road, but let's share the laws too... Let's all operate the same way. And that goes both ways, I'm not after just bikes, I just think it needs to be a fair playing field. And that's the only way you're going to get it is to just register them.
Maus stands on the other side of question and points out the costs to the cyclist—$12 for the license and $40 for the plate every four years—and the cost to the city in enforcement. Long Beach, California recently threw out its mandatory registration system as "antiquated and inefficient"and Maus points out that other municipalities have also decided that bike regulation on this level is just not worth it.
Huckaby and Maus have firm middle ground though—they both want the City of Portland to become the best equipped town to handle the increase in ridership, says Maus.
When Huckaby looks out at the roads, he sees a vast increase in bicycle traffic onto a system that isn't ready for it. During our chat, he expressed frustration that the City of Portland has done so much promotion of bicycling, yet hasn't built a complementary system of infrastructure to handle it.
Implementation and regulation of a licensing system on the scale of Huckaby's proposal does indeed sounds like a beast, but would it really be such a bad idea? Perhaps the bike community of Portland could embrace this as an opportunity to stand up and be counted and Maus and Huckaby could work together to craft a proposal that would ensure that revenue collected would be set aside specifically to upgrade Portland's cycling infrastructure. After all, what daily bike commuter wouldn't gladly fork over the price of a tank of gas every four years for the promise of a dedicated system of bike highways?

Title: Flower color in shooting stars (Dodecatheon meadia)
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Shooting Stars (Dodecatheon meadia) come in the colors white, lavender and purple in the eastern U.S. Is this just genetic variability or does soil chemistry affect the flower color?
All the information that I can find indicates that the flower colors of Dodecatheon meadia (Eastern shootingstar) are genetically determined.
You can read a discussion and comparison of the flower colors of D. meadia and the closely related Dodecatheon amethystinum (jeweled shootingstar) in "The Jeweled Shooting Star (Dodecatheon amethystinum) in Illinois" by John E. Schwegman, Castanea, Vol. 49, No. 2 (Jun., 1984), pp. 74-82. You should be able to access this article through the University of Massachusetts, Amherst or Amherst College libraries.
For a full botanical description of D. meadia and other species of Dodecatheon, please see the Revision of Dodecatheon (Primulaceae) from the New York Botanical Garden.

Dell will lead off the introduction of its completely overhauled Latitude E-series with mainstream models that promise both a better image and new wireless features, according to details reported today by Engadget. Besides the visual redesign, the 14-inch E6400 and 15.4-inch E6500 will be the first Latitudes in their class to bring LED-backlit displays that offer better color and light; both receive the option with a 1440x900 panel, while the larger E6500 will also have the option of a 1920x1200 screen. The systems will have the option of 256MB dedicated NVIDIA graphics (likely Quadro chipsets) to drive their sharper displays.

Apple criticized for pulling private browsing app in China
Apple has drawn criticism for pulling an app from China's App Store that circumvents firewalls and allows access to restricted sites. OpenDoor, which is still available in other markets, is a free app that uses a randomized IP address to browse anonymously. It was removed from the Chinese App Store for containing "illegal content," CNN reports. The app's anonymous developer said Apple provided no notification of pulling the app — the developer learned the news from customers. After the app was pulled, a number of Chinese users of microblog site Weibo accused Apple as showing too much loyalty to the Chinese government.

Notice, they didn't say the government required them to take this down. I'm sure they would have if they had known, but it's likely they might not have even found out about this app. Apple took it upon themselves to take this down.

My son went to his teacher about another student that had been touching him inappropriately and she didn't report it.

Former owner of Club Cafe dies October 24, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Books, People, Restaurants.
Tags: Club Cafe, Ron Chavez, Santa Rosa
add a comment
Ron Chavez, 78, a former owner of the long-closed Club Cafe in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, who later became noted as a writer and poet, died Oct. 15 in Albuquerque, reported the Taos News.
His daughter, Sonia Valdez, told the newspaper he died of complications from diabetes and a stroke. The family declined to give details about his services or burial.
The newspaper provided some background on Chavez's early days:
Chávez was born June 18, 1936 in the valley of Puerto de Luna on the banks of the Pecos River near Santa Rosa in southern New Mexico.
"When I was 6 years old I traveled Route 66 to California straight out of my village of Puerto de Luna in 1942 when my father went to work in the shipyards building warships. There, I befriended the owner of the corner grocery store who charmed me with his stories of how he had fought with (Emiliano) Zapata in Mexico. I am captivated with Zapata to this day," Chávez said in an article published in Tempo (September 2013).
In Santa Rosa he was the owner of the famous Route 66 Club Café. During that time, Chávez and his café enjoyed fame in major media, which included books, television, magazines and newspapers, according to an online bio. He was known as the "Route 66 Storyteller."
Chavez owned the Club Cafe for nearly 20 years after he saved it from closing during the 1970s, according to an archived article in the Chicago Tribune. Club Cafe was known since 1935 for its sourdough biscuits, New Mexican cuisine and its trademark "smiling Fat Man" logo on signs and billboards.
The restaurant closed in 1992, with Chavez mostly blaming it on the opening of a McDonald's up the road. After fitful and unsuccessful attempts to reopen the eatery, the remnants of Club Cafe and its signs were slated to be demolished this year.
Chavez eventually found himself reciting and writing poetry in Taos in both English and Spanish. Many of his stories and poems were collected in two books — "Winds of Wildfire" and "Time of Triumph" (my review of the latter here) — and were published in numerous magazines.
Here's a video from 2011 of his poem-recital style:
Chavez said he often was inspired by delving into New Mexico's centuries-old cultures of its Native American and Hispanic residents.

The "Route 66 Coloring Book," in conjunction with American Road magazine, was published a few weeks ago by creator Rich Newman, writers Dave and Laura Newman, and illustrator Abby Smith on the Coloring Books USA imprint.
Here's a description of the book:
Route 66 is one of the country's most traveled routes stretching from Illinois to California. Hundreds upon hundreds of wonderful and exciting things to see along the way. Teepees, museums, modernized old fashion motels and gas stations, and natural beauty unmatched anywhere in the world.
Our two characters take you on a personal tour from round barns to robot dinosaurs and so much more.
The 44-page book costs $4.95 and can be ordered directly from the website. If you fret over the lack of a gateway to get youngsters interested in Route 66, this book might serve as one solution.
Here are a couple of sample pages depicting Henry's Rabbit Ranch in Staunton, Illinois, and the Blue Whale of Catoosa, Oklahoma:
A preview of more pages is here.
Another "Route 66 Coloring Book" was published in 2009 by Carole Marsh. That one is 24 pages, and, at last check, Amazon has just two left in stock.

Class of 2014 for Oklahoma Route 66 Hall of Fame announced September 13, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Books, Events, Museums, People, Route 66 Associations.

Author Marian Clark of Tulsa and the late J.M. Davis of Claremore will be inducted Oct. 18 into the Oklahoma Route 66 Hall of Fame at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum in Clinton, according to a release from the Oklahoma Route 66 Association.
The ceremony is slated for 2 p.m. and will be free to the public. A plaque for each winner will be placed on the Wall of Honor at the museum. An association panel selects two winners — one living and one dead — from a list of nominations every two years.
Clark is most famous for writing cookbooks, using recipes from Route 66 restaurants or facsimiles of dishes from long-gone eateries, including "The Route 66 Cookbook" and "Hogs on 66."
Clark is a native of the Texas Panhandle but has lived in Tulsa for more than 30 years. She resides a few blocks from the Mother Road, which kindled her interest in the highway.
Davis managed the Mason Hotel in Claremore, but became famous internationally for his enormous gun and arms collection and the museum that eventually was built to house it, the J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum that opened on Route 66 in Claremore in 1969. Davis died in 1973 and was buried on the museum grounds.
The ceremony next month also will mark the 25th anniversary of the nonprofit Oklahoma Route 66 Association, which aims to "promote, enhance, perpetuate, encourage the development of tourism, economic opportunities, and historic resources and landmarks along Oklahoma's section of Route 66."
Book review: "The 66 Kid" September 8, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Books, History, Magazines, People.
Tags: Bob Boze Bell, Kingman, True West magazine
add a comment
"The 66 Kid" is not your typical memoir. Then again, Bob Boze Bell isn't a typical fellow.
Nearly all memoirs consist of a few hundred typewritten pages with a few dozen black-and-white photos crammed into the center.
But Boze, best-known as owner of True West magazine and as a western-themed artist, treats his early life story as a series of colorfully illustrated vignettes that don't last more than a page or two.
As a result, "The 66 Kid" (192 pages, hardback, Voyageur Press) becomes a breezy, vivid and entertaining set of reminisces of growing up during an earlier era, mostly in the desert Southwest town of Kingman, Arizona.
Bell said he became motivated to tell his life story after suffering a near-fatal heart attack during a 2006 reunion of his high school rock 'n' roll band, The Exits. After his brush with death, one would expect Bell would get his early memories down on paper as quickly and have the memoir in bookstores within a year or two.
But Bell took his time, mostly because he apparently had a lot of painting to do. "The 66 Kid" is filled with dozens of Bell's vivid artwork. If the pages don't contain a painting, he uses old photographs or memorabilia from his collection. Voyageur Press books tend to be heavily illustrated (such as Jim Hinckley's Route 66 books), so Bell's more-artistic approach probably wasn't a big stretch for the publisher. Still, "The 66 Kid" is unique for a memoir.
Bell also sprinkles helpful "History Detours" and "Legends of the Road" side stories throughout the volume, including "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66″ songwriter Bobby Troup, "On the Road" author Jack Kerouac and Life magazine photographer Andreas Feininger and his now-famous image of Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona.
Bell was the only child of an Arizona rancher's daughter and a farm boy from Iowa. As a result, Bell and his family "ping-ponged" between the Midwest and Southwest to visit relatives or when his dad took on a new venture, mostly in gas stations. But Kingman exerts an inexorable pull at the Bell family — it was where the couple first met when his dad was stationed during World War II at Kingman Air Field, and they settled there for good when his dad became a mechanic and bought his first home.
"The 66 Kid" provides a snapshot of what Kingman was like from 1955 to 1965 — basically during the pre-Interstate 40 era. A detailed map lists the dozens of businesses along Route 66 then, many which now are gone. He also provides many stories from that time, including drag racer Billy Logas, "King of the Kingman Quartermile" and when a Hollywood film, "Edge of Eternity," was shot there and at nearby Oatman Road, aka Route 66.
And Bell offers memories about the family's regular road trips on the Mother Road to Iowa and back — including breakfast at the Copper Cart in Seligman, stops at the Longhorn Ranch Saloon and Museum, and an indelible memory of a ranch house in twilight in Del Norte, Colorado. Some of Bell's recollections are candid, including his mother's bigotry to blacks or Hispanics.
Bell probably gained his fascination of the Old West through osmosis. In addition to growing up in the middle of cowboy country, he discovered he was related to outlaws Blackjack Ketchum, John Wesley Hardin and Tap Duncan. He found out from his grandmother that Wyatt Earp, as she put it, "was the biggest jerk who ever walked the West."
A seemingly minor but key moment in Bell's life was when he bought a purported photo of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett at the Longhorn Ranch. Not long after that, Bell found out through a True West magazine report that the image was a fake. That became the spark eventually leading to Bell's ownership of the magazine in 1999.
Very little of "The 66 Kid" delves into Bell's adult career as an art director, cartoonist, radio broadcaster and True West owner. But it proves how the first 18 or so years of a person's life can leave an indelible impact on the remaining 50 or 60.
"The 66 Kid" is highly recommended. In particular, baby boomers and natives of the Southwest likely will find it enjoyable.
Filmmaker is shooting documentary about "The Grapes of Wrath" May 21, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Books, History, Movies.

add a comment
Filmmaker P.J. Palmer of (twenty)2 films is making a documentary movie about John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" novel after acquiring official rights from the Steinbeck estate, according to a news release.
The new documentary "The Grapes of Wrath: We Shall Overcome" began filming in New York City last month interviewing James Franco, who is currently on Broadway in a re-launch of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice & Men." Production on the documentary continues in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Washington D.C. [...]
"The Grapes of Wrath: We Shall Overcome" is being produced through Palmer's company, (twenty)2 films in partnership with the non-profit The National Steinbeck Center (NSC). [...]
The film explores the legacy and meanings of John Steinbeck's American realist novel "The Grapes of Wrath" (1939) while also revealing the struggles of dispossessed families in the U.S. today. The release of "The Grapes of Wrath" shook America to its core with its unflinching depictions of poverty, homelessness, starvation and misery within the U.S. and its exploration of the imbalance of power between the wealthy and the poor. This film examines the impact of the novel since its publication 75 years ago and utilizes its influence to shed light on the current state of similar social issues in America today.
Palmer was enlisted by the Steinbeck Center last fall to shoot several short films about the book and the Joad family's journey on Route 66 in advance of the book's 75th anniversary this year. Palmer, once he got on the road, probably found a lot of rich material and decided he could produce a full-length film.
One interesting tidbit from the news release: Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks studios are developing a new film version of "The Grapes of Wrath." I'm sure those who adore John Ford's version from 1940 would recoil at the news, but I strongly suspect Spielberg would tackle the grittier aspects of the novel that were sanitized or omitted for pre-World War II film audiences.
One should remember that a film being "in development" means it could be years before it makes it to the silver screen — if it makes it at all. So any excitement about Spielberg making a new "The Grapes of Wrath" movie should be tempered until the project is approved and a release date is scheduled.

Book review: "On Reading The Grapes of Wrath" May 15, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Books, Movies.
Tags: John Steinbeck, Susan Shilinglaw, The Grapes of Wrath
2 comments
I have bad news and good news about Susan Shillinglaw's "On Reading The Grapes of Wrath," a behind-the-scenes look on the writing and marketing of John Steinbeck's classic and controversial novel that marks its 75th anniversary this year.
The bad news is Shillinglaw's book (paperback, 206 pages, Penguin) delves very little into the Joad family's journey on Route 66 ("the road of flight") or any of Steinbeck's research about the Mother Road — despite a sizable chunk of the novel taking place there.
The good news is Shillinglaw — a San Jose State University professor and scholar in residence at the National Steinbeck Center — dug up enough interesting material about Steinbeck's seminal work that even those casually acquainted with the novel probably will want to read "On Reading The Grapes of Wrath."
A few may find it curious for someone to write a book about a book. But "The Grapes of Wrath" not only is one of the most acclaimed American novels (it pretty much hand-delivered the Nobel Prize to Steinbeck) but remains one of the most successful (it was an immediate best-seller and has sold well over 100,000 copies a year since the 1980s). The film version, directed by John Ford, remains one of the praised movies of all time.
And "The Grapes of Wrath," along with the "Route 66″ television drama of the 1960s and Bobby Troup's endlessly covered song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66," cemented the highway into popular culture.
Roadies may find it interesting to learn why Steinbeck made the curious decision to shift the Joads' home base from Shawnee (just east of Oklahoma City) to the far east Oklahoma town of Sallisaw, where the Dust Bowl didn't occur. Apparently Steinbeck liked the similar etymology of Sallisaw and his hometown of Salinas, California (both starting with "Sal," meaning salt). And Sallisaw was associated with Pretty Boy Floyd, a modern-day Robin Hood who robbed banks and gave money to impoverished residents — no doubt appealing to Steinbeck's sensibilities.
One wonders why Shillinglaw didn't embark on her own Route 66 trip and follow in the Joads' path. But she lets it slip she had only two months to write the book, so she probably didn't have time for a cross-country journey, even if she wanted one.
Despite the abbreviated time to compose the book, Shillinglaw compiled these fascinating tidbits about "The Grapes of Wrath":
— Although Steinbeck didn't grow up poor, he worked a series of blue-collar jobs — dredging, sugar plant worker, ranching and highway builder — before he became a full-time writer. This background undoubtedly helped give him empathy for the Joads and other Okies made desperate by the Great Depression.
— Steinbeck's agent tried to make him tone down the book's salty language by the Okies and California workers. "I'm writing the speech as I know it with my ear," he explained. Steinbeck mostly complied, but drew the line when publishers wanted him to excise the word "shitheels."
— Steinbeck, in a fit of anger, wrote a short and biting satirical piece about Salinas, "L'Affair Lettuceburg." But his wife hated it, and unfortunately the manuscript was destroyed. But the writing exercise cooled much of Steinbeck's white-hot fury and turned "The Grapes of Wrath" into a better book.
— At one point during the late 1930s, Steinbeck planned a collaboration with Great Depression photographer Dorothea Lange, most famous for her "Migrant Mother" image. That seemed like an artistic match made in heaven, but it never materialized.
— Shillinglaw briefly details the book-burnings and other outrage from some quarters after "The Grapes of Wrath's" publication, including Oklahoma congressman Lyle Boren calling the work "a lie, a black infernal creation of a twisted, dishonest mind." (His son, future U.S. senator David Boren, quietly but firmly disagreed.) Also, the book inspired two now-forgotten rebuttals — the novel "Grapes of Gladness" and the film "Plums of Plenty."
— The book includes folk musician Woody Guthrie's typically memorable take on "The Grapes of Wrath" film. It needs to be read in full to be appreciated, but it's clear he was a fan.
— A special two-volume edition of "The Grapes of Wrath" in 1940 included dozens of illustrations by famed artist Thomas Hart Benton. (If you find it at a garage sale, pick it up — it's probably worth at least $1,000.) That was one of several fancy special editions of the book, many shepherded by Pat Covici. And for the 75th anniversary, Penguin continues the tradition by offering a $250 special edition of "The Grapes of Wrath."
— Steinbeck fought with editors who wanted him to change the book's ending. Shillinglaw's book includes correspondence from one dismayed member of Viking's editorial team. This was one battle with the marketers where Steinbeck did not back down.
Readers might find parts of Shillinglaw's book — such as Steinbeck's influential friendship with marine biologist Edward Rickets and a dissection of the novel's "five layers" — a tough slog. But the chapters are short, and Shillinglaw moves quickly to more interesting subjects, such as how the title of Steinbeck's book was chosen (it originally was "The Oklahomans").
Penguin Books should feel fortunate it found an author who possessed so much knowledge and access to Steinbeck's work, or else "On Reading The Grapes of Wrath" might have been more slipshod. But with the missed opportunity of the Route 66 angle and Shillinglaw's lack of time to work on this volume, one has to wonder what she would have accomplished if she received the assignment a couple of years in advance of "The Grapes of Wrath" anniversary.
Better yet, go straight to the source. Viking Books has published a special 75th-anniversary hardback edition of "The Grapes of Wrath" that features the original first-edition cover illustration by Elmer Hader and original 1939 reviews on one of the end papers. And if you've got a lot of money burning in your pocket, Viking just published a pricier version in a leather case, a gilded top and ribbon.
Artist will hold public unveiling of Gay Parita painting April 29, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Art, Books, Events, Gas stations.

add a comment
Route 66 artist Jerry McClanahan will have a public unveiling of his newest painting of Gary Turner's Gay Parita gas station at the station near Halltown, Mo., on Saturday, May 17.
According to a news release from the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, a meet-and-greet with hot dogs and soda will be at noon, with the official unveiling at 1 p.m.
The news release explains how the painting came about:
On June 6 of 2013, Curtis Gobeli, celebrating having turned 66 years of age with a dream trip down Route 66, stopped at Gary Turner's world-famous replica Sinclair Station while driving his immaculate 1966 Pontiac GTO. Meeting Jerry later at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, the two, inspired by the many examples of 66 embodied in Curtis' visit to Gay Parita, conspired to create a highly detailed watercolor commemorating that visit, with the GTO posed in front of Gary's eye-catching homage to the roadside past. In the sky above the scene float depictions of other Route 66 icons that Curtis and his wife Kath encountered on their cruise, as well as a map of 66 and a short prose history of the Route.
Organizers are asking attendees to RSVP (if possible) by emailing McClanahan at mcjerry(at)att(dot)net.
McClanahan, who resides in the Route 66 town of Chandler, Okla., also is the author of the "EZ 66 Guide" that provides turn-by-turn directions for following Route 66.
