The U.S. Comex gold futures jumped 1.09% on Tuesday, but tumbled back down the next day, ending at $1,377.80 on Thursday. During Asia's Friday morning, the gold futures traded higher at around $1,385. The Dollar Index has fallen 1.12% week-to-Thursday as the Japanese Yen has surged 2.30% and the euro has risen about 1% versus the dollar. The Euro Stoxx 50 index dropped for four consecutive days by 2.29 percent. The S&P 500 index rebounded 1.48% on Thursday although it has fallen 0.43% this week. Since the peak in early May, the U.S. high yield bond prices have fallen about 3% while the emerging market bond prices have dropped even more by 6 percent.
Slowing Growth Outside of the U.S.
The growth in the U.S. is holding up better than that in the rest of the world, and its stock market is outperforming this month. The latest U.S. weekly jobless claims dropped 12,000 to 334,000 while the May advance retail sales rose 0.6% compared to the expected 0.4%. The World Bank lowered this year's world GDP growth forecast from 2.4% in January to 2.2%. In particular, it reduced its growth expectations in China and Brazil, expected the Euro economies to contract 0.6%, and revised up the growth in the U.S. and Japan. As the market increasingly expects the Fed to reduce its bond purchases, bond yields, especially in the emerging countries, have backed up, sending investors' money out of global bonds.
Investors Feeling Bearish Again
Based on the Bloomberg survey, the number of bearish gold traders has increased the most since a month ago. The gold-backed ETP holdings fell to a two-year low of 2,117.96 metric tons on Thursday. The Chinese may lend support to the physical gold market after their three-day holiday. Import demand in India has dropped significantly in June after the government raised the import duty from 6% to 8%on June 5 and imposed further shipments restrictions. Gold prices will be under further pressure if investors continue to flee from the gold-backed ETPs without a big enough offset by the physical demand.
What to Watch
Next week, the important events to watch will include the U.S. May CPI and housing starts on June 18, the U.S. FOMC rate decision and the Fed's press conference on June 19, the Eurogroup meeting on June 20 as well as the June "flash" PMI index for China, the E17 and the U.S. on the same day.

Jersey Shore star Pauly D's GTL routine today = gym, tan, lawsuit. Pauly D's former talent agency, ICM, is suing him for their cut of his salary.
Pauly dropped the agency and moved over to WME, but ICM claims that Pauly still owes them their ten percent–$370,000–for the past two season of the show.
The lawsuit isn't shocking; it happens all the time in Hollywood. But what is shocking to me, is how much the cast is making! In two seasons, Pauly raked in almost $4 million between his salary, bonuses and other merchandising.
This is why I got a little bored with Jersey Shore after the first two seasons. At first, it was fun because they were these broke roommates taking jobs at random shops down the Shore. Their popularity skyrocketed and suddenly they were raking in HUGE money for appearances and got hefty raises from MTV. After that, I had a hard time buying into this "regular working class" party house at the shore premise, knowing they were actually making millions.
In other Shore news, recently rehabbed housemate, The Situation, is being encouraged to bring along a sober coach when he returns to Seaside next season!
A source shared with Radar Online that "doctors at Cirque Lodge advised him that he should have a sober living companion with him at all times when he is in Seaside Heights. The sober living companion would have to move into the Shore house along with the other cast members. The companion wouldn't need, nor want to appear on camera, but putting Mike back into that world without a strong support system around him is asking for trouble. Mike doesn't think he needs someone to be with him and essentially be a babysitter, and this has his doctors extremely concerned for his sobriety and recovery."
I'm almost disappointed that the sober coach most likely will not appear on the show. The storyline possibilities are endless! MTV's
scriptwriters producers should rethink that one!
In all seriousness, I'm curious to see how this plays out once filming starts. Will MTV make light of his sobriety attempt and turn into drama for the show? Or will they take the high road and truly try to help him stay clean?
In other MTV news, I'm heading up a letter writing campaign. MTV has scarred me for life and ruined my beloved 'Titanic'. Take a look at the nude Situation below. As a friend, I'm warning you: You can't unsee it once you've pressed play!

The California Department of Motor Vehicles began Tuesday to puzzle through the complex question of how to regulate cars that rely on computers — not people — to drive them.
Once the stuff of science fiction, "driverless cars" could be commercially available by decade's end. Google already has sent its fleet of Priuses and Lexuses, fitted with an array of sensors, hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and major automakers are testing their own models.
The DMV has worked through rules governing how companies can test the technology, and those regulations could be finalized in the coming weeks.
On Tuesday, the agency held a public hearing to solicit ideas for integrating driverless cars — sometimes called "autonomous vehicles" — onto public roads.
A handful of other states have passed driverless-car laws, but the rules are mostly focused on testing. California is leaping ahead to tackle what happens once people can buy the vehicles and drive through neighborhoods and on highways. The federal government appears to be years away from developing regulations.
California regulators are struggling through a range of issues, from data privacy and security to whether a person would need to be in the driver's seat at all.
With the testing regulations, the DMV has said it aimed to strike a balance between public safety and private-sector innovation.
In discussions, Google and carmakers argued that if the rules were too onerous, development of the technology would be stifled.
At the same time, the DMV was aware that it would be scrutinized about whether it did enough to protect the public when one of the cars crashes while being driven by computers, even though human drivers would be able to take control in an instant.

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) Milton Chavis scored 18 points and tallied five of Morehead State's 19 steals as the Eagles beat Lafayette 88-74 on Sunday.
Chavis, who has led Morehead State in scoring in every game this season, made 7 of 11 shots from the field and led the Eagles in scoring despite playing only 15 minutes due to foul trouble.
With the game tied 33-all at halftime, Morehead State (3-1) opened the second half with seven straight points to take a 40-33 lead.
Lafayette (1-3) knocked down consecutive 3-pointers to close the gap to 40-39, but Chavis responded with back-to-back 3-pointers of his own to put Morehead State up for good.
Kelly Drew had 12 points, Bakari Turner added 11 and Angelo Warner posted 10 for Morehead State.
Joey Ptasinski led Lafayette with 23 points and Seth Hinrichs added 17 but the Leopards turned the ball over 29 times in the loss.

This bag is unique and fashionable. Ample room for all your essentials and can be used for day or evening. I chose the mocha sparkle but I will be ordering other colors. I simply love it!

This bag is fabulous. The leather is extremely high quality; it is soft and supple. It is very large and I know I will enjoy using it.

I like a lot of things about this bag. The color blocking look, the braided shoulder strap (which is really comfortable), and the light weight smooth leather, but there is simply not enough structure or pockets/compartments. I have a lot of things I throw into my bags which is why I wanted one this size, but unfortunately everything just mixes up as if I just threw it in haphazardly.

I love this bag! It is large enough for everything I need to carry and organized enough so I can find what I am looking for. The outside pocket fits my i-phone perfectly, and inside has plenty of pockets and lots of room. It is also very stylish for the summer and neutral enough to wear with all my clothes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. military planners are working closely with African nations in advance of an offensive to wrest control of northern Mali from al-Qaida linked extremists, Obama administration officials said Wednesday.
The cooperation reflects the increasing U.S. and international concern about the political, security and humanitarian challenges in Mali after a military coup ousted the democratically elected government this year. Capitalizing on the upheaval, al-Qaida in Islamic Maghreb, the best financed al-Qaida affiliate, now controls northern Mali — an area the size of Texas.
That makes it "the largest territory controlled by Islamic extremists in the world," said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on African Affairs.
Officials from the State and Defense departments told senators that the United States was working with the African Union and ECOWAS, the 15-member Economic Community of West African States, on a planned military action in northern Mali. But there are limits to U.S. involvement.
"We have sent military planners to ECOWAS to assist with the continued development and refinement of the plans for international intervention," said Johnnie Carson, assistant secretary for African Affairs. "Any attempt to militarily oust a AQIM from northern Mali must be African-led. It must be Malian-led," he insisted.
Earlier this week, Army Gen. Carter Ham, the top U.S. commander in Africa, warned against any premature military action in Mali, saying negotiation is the best approach, If there is an offensive, he said, it must be successful and at the appropriate time.
Amanda Dory, the deputy assistant secretary for Africa at the Pentagon, told the subcommittee that the United States is considering support for countries that contribute troops to the mission. That possible assistance includes training and equipment, as well as additional planning and advisers.
"Northern Mali has become a safe haven for extremist and terrorist groups, including AQIM and affiliates," Dory said. "As the government of Mali lost control of its northern territory, these groups took over administration of northern cities and began imposing a harsh version of Sharia law. This expanded safe haven and control of territory allows al-Qaida and affiliates to recruit supporters more easily and to export extremism."
Dory echoed recent comments by military leaders, saying AQIM played a role in the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. She declined to provide any specifics or additional information at the open hearing.
In a technological first, Mohamed Ould Mahmoud, vice president for the Lobbying Network for Peace, Security and Development for Northern Mali, testified before the committee from Bamako, Mali.
Connected via Google Hangout, he told U.S. lawmakers that organized elections in the spring are critical to the future of Mali.

We all know that the most important architectural feature of a retail store is the storefront. A lot of retailers spend most of their time getting the inside of their store looking right yet fail to give as much attention to their storefront.
The storefront is the first point of contact between your potential customers' and your store. The storefront is the most important marketing tool that a retailer has. As potential customers stroll through a shopping mail or a high street, their eyes are scanning each and every storefront. They will only make the decision to either take a closer look or enter your store if the storefront display or design appeals to them.
Your storefront design and display is directly and intricately linked to your store sales figure. Get it right and you are able to increase your sales or at least maintain an equilibrium, but getting it wrong can be disastrous for many retail organisations.
What is a storefront? What to Consider When designing a storefront?
A retail storefront is a display of retail products in an environment where customers can peruse and purchase goods. This display can take the form of a brick-and-mortar store in an enclosed mall, but storefronts can vary according to the needs and offerings of the retailer. For example, retail storefronts can include retail kiosks, mall carts, warehouse stores and retail websites that act as virtual storefronts.
What exactly do you need to give consideration to? The most important elements of a storefront are signage and presentation. You should display a large, clear professionally made sign outside of your store. It should be large and clear enough to be easily read from the opposite side of the road to where your store is located.
Signs inevitably start to become dirty over time therefore you need to ensure it is cleaned on a monthly basis, as a dirty looking sign gives a bad impression to customers. Serious consideration must also be given to the presentation of the display. However, it all starts with a well-designed storefront. It is imperative that the store design blueprint incorporates elements of a storefront that enhances visual merchandising of products.
How to Choose a Storefront That Will Amaze Your Customer:
Choose a variety of items to promote in your store window – ensure to include products from different pricing levels. Focus on displaying your best selling products and those that are uniquely different from your competition, especially competitors in the same vicinity.
How to Implement a Good Storefront Design:
The following are guidelines for implementing a good storefront design:
Storefront Awnings – Periodically clean your awning to maintain the veracity of fabrics, seam and colour to avoid the unnecessary expense of replacement.
Signage – Illuminated exteriors of stores attract customers like moths to a flame and offer a sense of branding and brand engagement. The illuminated signage glances into the minds of customers and connects the storefront signage with the same wavelength of the customers. This helps to ensure brand patronization.
Canopy – An effective canopy sign should be mounted on the canopy face to be viewed within the pedestrian walking zone or principal traffic corridor.

The Samsung Galaxy S III arrives this week in Europe and the first reviews are in to give you an idea about what to expect from the phone when it hits the US shores. Samsung and wireless carriers have yet to announce when the Samsung will be available here in the US.
The delay is likely due to certain customizations, on the inside and outside, carriers are requesting. But, if you must have Samsung's latest hot phone now, you can get one unlocked from Amazon from Friday for $800. But if you're patient, you'll be able to get one for much less on a contract when it arrived stateside.
(See Related: Samsung Galaxy S III: Hands-On With a Smartphone Sensation)
First, a quick S III refresher: the Android 4.0 smartphone features a huge 4.8-inch display, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera and a quad-core 1.4 GHz Exynos processor. Note that the US version of the phone is likely to feature a different, dual-core processor in order to accommodate 4G LTE connectivity.
Reviewing for The Verge, Vlad Savov says the Samsung Galaxy S III is "a technological triumph." He praised the camera, saying it's "easily the best I've used on an Android device," but pointed that "the extra-large size of this phone, even with its great ergonomics, may prove to be a stumbling block for those who can't comfortably fit a 4.8-inch handset into their daily routine."
A PhoneArena review also mentions the S III's bulkiness, despite its thin profile. "You'll definitely have to forget about the comfort of using it with one hand only. But that's the way it is with this new breed of Android superphones. If you want to have a giant touchscreen, then you'll have to put up with having a giant phone."
Sharif Sakr at Engadget also gave top marks to the S III's camera, but notes that the HTC One X might be a better choice when it comes to "a much better user interface that sticks more closely to the guiding ethos of Android 4.0." As with previous iterations of the phone, Samsung uses its TouchWiz UI on the S III, and also added some useful features such as swiping contacts to call or message them, and less useful gimmicks like S Voice -- an iPhone 4S Siri look-alike which Sakr said "doesn't work as quickly or as intelligently, and it often cuts you off mid-sentence, thereby wasting time interpreting meaningless fragments of requests."
Pocket-lint's Chris Hall said "there is a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy S III" he reviewed. "The huge display, the power, the smooth and fast operation are all to its credit. Add to this the ability to change battery and expand storage and you've a very good package indeed." But he notes that the display could be brighter (the battery-saving feature seems to dim the display a bit too much) and the UI can be a bit cartoony in places.
Gareth Beavis at TechRadar thought the S III's design is "very sleek and the weight is minimal too -- and battery life borders on the stellar at times." "If the Samsung Galaxy S3 had landed with a premium metallic shell, in the same vein as the HTC One S for instance, any question of design standards would have been obliterated." Overall though, Beavis ranked the S III as "the best smarpthone on the market. It's got every kind of feature we could ask for and more, and raises the bar once again in terms of what consumers should be expecting in terms of battery life, processor speed and media management."
SlashGear's Chris Davies was not too keen on the plastic shell of the S III either, but said "if your phone has become your multimedia and entertainment hub; if you love a sizable display for gaming, browsing, navigation and multimedia; if you demand high-quality photos and video without bulk; and if you want to future-proof yourself over the typical two-year contract, then the Galaxy S III delivers all that in spades."
In her review on the Galaxy S III, Silicon Republic's Elaine Burke takes a stab at Apple's iPhone ads, saying "it's hard not to be wowed by the speed of the Samsung Galaxy S III, which performs like phones do in advertisements, only this one doesn't need a 'sequence shortened' disclaimer." She also favors the HTC One X for certain tasks, noting that "photo enthusiasts and those who want the best in display are probably best off with the HTC One X, but if your priority is performance, the S III won't steer you wrong."

When is the Buddha not met? Buddha meets Buddha as Buddha in Buddha shoes Buddhas on down a road that's also Buddha.
Yet, I would ask him directions for the fastest and best route to Buddha.

Tip your hat and smile in recognition,

Of course every single answer you have given so far to this koan is right. Whatever. And you don t even need to recognize it, it-she-he cannot be recognized, just lived.
Yes Rich, and killing precisely means the self getting to meet the self within the self, concepts, ideas, expectations, the whole garbage and load dropped. So smiling, running, showing him the way do apply. There is not a single answer to this. It would be still carving an idea as to how to proceed.
That was my thought, too, Rich: What is there to do? Paraphrasing a Heinlein character, "Thou art Buddha!"
Or how about this: You merge into each other as you go your separate ways.

Why This Milliner Doesn't Mind That You're Not Wearing a Hat Right Now
Jul 3, 2014
Professional milliner Jean Foley is quick to admit that formal hats will probably never be as popular as they were in the mid-20th century. "Fashion in general has become more casual…when you go to the airport, for example, you see folks wearing their pajamas." But surprisingly, Jean, a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, isn't bothered by that. Rather, she thinks it makes wearing a hat feel like a special occasion. "I've seen my clients' and students' faces light up when they put on their hats and fascinators. They seem instantly transformed, confident, and happy. The students she's referring to are those who take her fascinator workshop, which I recently attended. There, I (and seemingly all my classmates) felt totally overwhelmed—there were a few murmurs of "I don't know if I picked the right fabrics" and "My sewing skills aren't good enough to do this." But Jean assured us that mistakes just weren't possible. And she was right. By the workshop's end, anxious whispers turned to excited gasps as we stepped back and admired each other's work (check out mine, made from a vintage tie, above). The biggest concern had become, "Where can I wear my new hat?" According to Jean, who designs custom hats through her Etsy page, A Violet's Blue, just about anywhere—a wedding, a Christmas party, even to school. GROUPON: What influenced you to become a milliner? Were you always fascinated by hats? JEAN FOLEY: In high school I became interested in fashion history. I would put together elaborate vintage ensembles…almost always topped off with a hat. That was until my school declared a new dress code banning hat-wearing. It was about three years ago that hats made a reappearance in my life. I was attending the wedding of my cousin in Kilarney, Ireland, [and] the Irish ladies in attendance [were wearing] the most colorful and elaborate hats and fascinators I had ever seen. I couldn't take my eyes off of them…I was so inspired, I decided I would try to make my own whimsical and creative hats. G: At SAIC, you studied under fabric sculptor Nick Cave. How has he influenced your work? JF: [Nick] taught me to push many boundaries [and use] nontraditional materials in new and unusual ways. It may be cliché, but he really taught me to "think outside the box." We were encouraged to push our works of art to the extreme. G: Do you often use nontraditional materials for your hats? JF: I adore using found materials in my work. I've made entire hats and their flourishes from recycled T-shirts and sweaters. This past Christmas I made a dress and hat out of ugly Christmas sweaters to wear to my family's ugly-sweater contest. I was disqualified for making something too darling! G: Any especially weird or memorable hats you've made? JF: I'm currently working on a hat that…consists of a cascade of multicolored tiki umbrellas, which is a bit challenging given their delicate nature. The most memorable hat I have made is a little heart-shaped pillbox that is made to look like a vintage Valentine's Day box. I used fabric from velvet hot-pink bellbottoms my aunt sewed for my mother when they were teenagers. G: What's your most popular hat style? JF: My most popular hat is the mini top hat. It crosses so many genres and can be customized for any occasion. Clients have worn [them to] the Mardi Gras parade, weddings, sporting events, bachelorette parties, birthdays, formal galas…I think [people like them because they] are looking to escape their everyday lives and [recapture] the fantasy and wonder of their childhoods. G: Are hats making a come back? JF: Definitely…[I think] the press on Kate Middleton and her amazing hats has increased their popularity tremendously. A hat store recently opened in my neighborhood called Hoo Doo Headwear (111 N. Marion St., Oak Park). Surely that is a good sign that [they're] making a comeback!

THE last days in Richmond have fortunately been painted for us by a sympathetic and artistic hand in a picture to which we can add a few important unprinted details gathered from still living contemporaries of the poet.
In his return — a prodigal — to the beautiful old city of his youth where so many innocent and happy hours had been spent, fishing, hunting, swimming in the ancient yellow "Jeems," running the flower-bespangled woods, acting in the Thespian Club, verse-capping at old Burke's Academy, the city where his mother lay in a nameless and unknown grave, Poe found for a brief two months and a half a renewal of the eagle-like strength of his earlier years. The city had of course grown immensely since his youth; the Mexican War, with its wave of excitement, had passed over the land and brought the great Virginians, Zachary Taylor and W infield Scott prominently before the public; the streets swarmed with new faces; new literary figures had appeared on the scene; but it was, fundamentally, the same dear old Richmond, social, hospitable, sunshiny, richly read in eighteenth century literature, a trifle pedantic in its culture, but full of winsome women and cultivated men who had watched the career of this extraordinary "cosmopolite" (as the [page 311:] novelist Virginian Cooke, called him) and were ready to welcome the wanderer back to what many of them thought was his native town.
The Mackenzies and Cabells, the Mayos and Sullys, the Sheltons and Carters and Thomases were still there, friends of his youth, ready to kill the fatted calf in honor of the return, and their houses were thrown wide open to the gifted and distinguished stranger. Poe, like Chaucer in his famous "I am a Sotherne man," continually referred to Virginia as his home and shrank from the hyperborean clime and criticism of certain latitudes in the north-east, albeit deriving from thence many an auroral beam of true and lasting friendship. In his own Virginia — consecrated, to him, by the tenderest of names — he felt perfectly at home; and here he felt, too, that his "Stylus " project might grow into a real thing. Friends flocked around him; offers of subscriptions and of subscribers were freely made; and he delivered several lectures in the parlors of the old Exchange Hotel, where, a little later, the Prince of Wales (now King Edward VII.) was entertained in 1860.
Poe put up at the old "Swan Tavern," which is referred to, among other interesting matters, in the following letter to the author:
RICHMOND, Nov. 26th, 1900.
DEAR SIR, — Your letter of November twenty-fifth received, in which you state I might know something of the poet, Edgar Poe, and his visit to Richmond in eighteen ' forty-nine. My impression is he was a resident at that time of this city, and boarded at the old " Swan Tavern," on Broad Street, between Eighth and Ninth. Dr. George Rawlins, an intimate friend of mine, told me he attended him there in an attack of "delirium tremens," [page 312:] and before he had ceased to visit him, he left the tavern, and when next heard from, was in Baltimore, where he renewed his frolic, and died in a few days.
I had no personal acquaintance with Poe, but have often seen him. The only time I ever heard him speak was the summer of eighteen forty-eight in the Exchange Concert-room in this city. The inspiration of the lecture was no doubt need of money. In elucidating his subject — "The Poetic Principle" — he recited excerpts from some of his poems — "Annabelle Lee," "Tintinnabulations of the Bells," etc.; and in conclusion repeated "The Raven" with all the rhythm and pathos of which he was capable. All this before an audience of about twenty persons. The occasion to this day I recall with pleasure. I have heard that at times his necessities were so urgent he would write a poem and sell it to an acquaintance for the paltry sum of one dollar. He was said to be moody and peevish, but always recognized by his school — fellows as a boy of true courage. On one occasion a friend found him lying on the wayside — intoxicated. As he approached him he exclaimed: "Why, Edgar Poe!" when Poe looked at him and replied: "No; poor Edgar," showing he always retained his wits. The "Swan Tavern" is still in existence, but hardly recognizable, having been converted into offices, lodging-rooms, and so on. Miss Jane McKenzie, who adopted Miss Rosalie Poe about the time Mr. Allan took Edgar Poe, is, of course, long since dead — in fact every member of her family, so far as I know, is dead. I had a slight acquaintance with Mrs. Shelton, to whom he was said to be engaged, but of her family I can tell you nothing.
It may be emphasized, in connection with one matter referred to in this letter, that Richmond has for fifty years past been divided into two antagonistic camps on the "Poe question," the minority holding the "delirium tremens" theory of his irregularities, the majority [page 313:] taking the more humane and charitable view of Mrs. Susan Archer Weiss, in her "Last Days of Edgar A. Poe."(1) The occurrences undoubtedly occurred — to use an expressive tautology; but the explanation of them is a purely pathological one: morbid conditions existed which overpowered any will-power that may have been left, honeycombed as this power had become by a string and concatenation of disasters unparalleled in the history of any literary man on record. Schiller, in the "Wallenstein," mercifully keeps the murder of the hero out of sight; Poe is presented to us by his biographers undergoing all the torments of the damned before the gaping eyes of the audience.
This little visit shed an Indian summer glow over the life of the poet that lingers still in the memory of some who saw him. He hunted up his old haunts, made new friends, recited his "Raven" and other poems in the parlors of his intimates, stayed at Duncan's Lodge with the Mackenzies, met his eccentric sister, Rosalie Poe, once more, and above all renewed the acquaintance with the old flame of his University and Academy days, Miss Royster (now Mrs. Shelton, widow of a prosperous merchant — a lady whom the author, living in the same town with her in 1871-76, used to hear familiarly called "Poe's Lenore"). Poe had come down from New York to Richmond in 1848 and had then, it is said, renewed the suit begun more than twenty years before, a period during which both had become widowed. Mrs. Weiss asserts that the engagement was renewed, but that it was broken off when Mrs. Shelton learned that it was purely mercenary — that it was the "Stylus," not herself, that [page 314:] Poe was in pursuit of. That Poe's affections for women were intense but fleeting, is 1t part of the universal record of him; and in the case of Mrs. Shelton it may well have been a momentary recrudescence of the old feeling mixed with new elements self-interest. The lady herself believed she was engaged to Poe, and so asserted by pen and mouth to Moran, the physician who attended Poe in his last illness.(1) In the Ingram correspondence ("Appleton's Journal," May, 1878) she thus describes their meeting in the summer of 1849, describing their relation, however, as a "partial understanding" only:
"I was ready to go to church, when a servant entered and told me that a gentleman in the parlor wished to see me. I went down and was amazed at seeing him [Poe], but knew him instantly. He came up to me in the most enthusiastic, manner, and said: 'Oh? Elmira, is it you?' I told him I was going to church, that I never let anything interfere with that, and that he must call again. . .
"When he did call again, he renewed his addresses. I laughed; he looked away serious, and said he was in earnest, and had been thinking about it for a long time. When I found out that he was very serious, I became serious also, and told him that, if he would not take a positive denial, he must give me time to consider. He answered, 'A love that hesitated was not a love for him.' . . . But he stayed a long time, and was very pleasant and cheerful. He came to visit me frequently. . . . I went with him to the Exchange Concert- Room,' and heard him read. . . . When he was going away, he begged me to marry him, and promised [page 315:] he would be everything I could desire. He said, when he left, that he was going to New York to wind up some business matters, and that he would return to Richmond as soon as he had accomplished it, although he said, at the same time, that he had a presentiment that he should never see me any more. . . . I was not engaged to him, but there was a partial understanding. . . . He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was one of the most fascinating and refined men I ever knew. I never saw him under the influence of wine."
Thus bathing in the sunlight of his youth, touching the hand of people he had not met for twenty years, lounging in the comfortable office of the "Messenger," whose accomplished young editor, the poet John R. Thompson, eagerly received anything he might send, and freshening up old associations at "The Hermitage," the home of the Mayos, fondly intertwined with his earliest memories, Poe seemed well on the way to the happy rejuvenation that awaited a man emerging as from a hideous dream — a life of penury, persecution, and humiliation — into the daylight of restored peace and happiness.
"Poe's personality is as vivid to me," writes Prof. B. C. Gildersleeve to the editor, "as if I had heard and seen him yesterday. I am old enough to remember what an excitement his 'Gold-Bug' created in Charleston when it first appeared, and how severely we boys criticised the inaccuracies in the description of Sullivan's Island. Poe himself I saw and heard in Richmond during the last summer of his life. He was lodging at some poor place in Broad Street, if I am not mistaken. At least I saw him repeatedly in that thoroughfare — a poetical figure, if there ever was [page 316:] one, clad in black as was the fashion then — slender — erect — the subtle lines of his face fixed in meditation. I thought him wonderfully handsome, the mouth being the only weak point. I was too shy to seek an introduction to the poet, but John R. Thompson procured for me Poe's autograph, a possession of which I was naturally very proud.
"While Poe was in Richmond some of his friends got up a reading for his benefit, and I heard him read 'The Raven' and some other poems before a small audience in one of the parlors of the Exchange Hotel. In spite of my admiration of Poe I was not an uncritical listener, and I have retained the impression that he did not read very well. His voice was pleasant enough, but he emphasized the rhythm unduly — a failing common, I believe, to poets endowed with a keen sense of the music of their own verse."
"A compact, well-set man," wrote Bishop Fitxgerald, "about five feet six inches high, straight as an arrow, easy-gaited, with white linen coat and trousers, black velvet vest and broad Panama hat, features sad yet finely cut, shapely head, and eyes that were strangely magnetic as you looked into them — this is the image of Edgar Allan Poe most vivid to my mind as I saw him one warm day in Richmond in 1849. There was a fascination about him that everybody felt. Meeting him in the midst of thousands a stranger would stop to get a second look, and to ask, 'Who is he?' He was distingué in a peculiar sense — a man bearing the stamp of genius and the charm of a melancholy that drew one toward him with a strange sympathy. He was scarcely less unique in his personality than in his literary quality. His writings had already given him national reputation. The gentleness of his manner and [page 317:] the tones of his voice seemed to me to be strangely contrasted with the bitterness that characterized his personal controversies. These controversies were strangely numerous, and in nearly all cases their intensity was in the inverse ratio to the importance of the issues involved. Poe, I suspect, was one of the men who said worse things than he felt, his talent for satire proving a snare to him, as it has been to many others who with pen or tongue sacrifice moderation for brilliancy or piquancy of expression. He was harshly treated by some of his contemporaries, but he owed them nothing on this account, giving them as good as they sent in the way of invective or sarcasm. The bitter personalities of literary men at that time were owing in part to an evil fashion then prevalent. The duelling and street fights among politicians had their counterpart in the shedding of vitriolic ink among the literati, great and small. Poe only differed from the rest in that he had a sharper thrust and a surer aim.
"The Richmond 'Examiner' was just then achieving its first and winning distinction as an male and ultra advocate of State Rights politics. John C. Calhoun was the leader, and the young 'chivalry' of the South made a following that was heroic, and that did not stop to count the cost. The 'Examiner' was their organ in Virginia — and a live organ it was. John M. Daniel, its editor-in-chief, wrote political leaders that were logic and rhetoric on fire. Robert W. Hughes discussed in good English economic questions from the standpoint of his time and his section. Arthur E. Petticolas wrote concerning art with much enthusiasm and some show of culture. Patrick Henry Aylett, a kinsman of the great orator of the Revolution, whose Christian name he bore, with a free hand [page 318:] touched up current politics and living politicians. Aylett was a picturesque Virginian of that time — a man nearly seven feet high, who had something of the eloquence of his renowned ancestor, and the easy swing of a man of the people, a man who believed with all his heart in the Revolution of '98 and '99, and uniformly voted the straight Democratic ticket. Mr. Poe now and then contributed a literary article critical and peculiar, unmistakably his own. There were others who wrote for the 'Examiner' — among them a youth who felt called upon to expound oracularly certain controverted Constitutional questions that Clay, Calhoun and Webster had failed to settle. He was a young man then, and need not be named now.
"Poe and Daniel were often together, and I was not surprised when informed that arrangements had been made by which the former was soon to become the literary editor of the 'Examiner,' was talked of in newspaper circles, and much satisfaction expressed by the initiated, who regarded it as a transaction promising good things for Southern journalism and literature. The 'Examiner,' the new star in the journalistic firmament, was expected to blaze with added lustre and fill all the South with the illumination.
"Poe had the sensitive organization of a man of genius, to whom alcoholic stimulation brings madness; for such there is no middle ground between total abstinence and inebriety. By the persuasion of friends he was induced to take a pledge of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. There is no reason to doubt his sincerity. His sad face took on a more hopeful expression; with a new hope in his heart he was about to make a new start in life. It was announced [page 319:] that he would soon make a visit to New York to close out his affairs there, preparatory to his entrance upon his new engagement at Richmond. With a view to giving him pecuniary assistance in a delicate way, and an expression of the good will of the Richmond public toward him, Poe was invited to deliver a lecture on some topic to be chosen by himself. The tickets were placed at five dollars each, and at that price three hundred persons were packed into the assembly rooms of the old Exchange Hotel. The lecture prepared for that occasion was on 'The Poetic Principle,' and it was read by him as it is now presented in his works. He was a charming reader, his manner the opposite of the elocutionary or sensational — quiet, without gesture, with distinctness of utterance, nice shadings of accent, easy gracefulness, and that indefinable element that draws the hearer toward the speaker with increasing good will and pleasure. I am glad that I heard Poe read that lecture; its sentences on the printed page have for me an added charm from the recollection. The net proceeds of the lecture amounted to fifteen hundred dollars. There was a touch of old Virginia in the way this was done. There is some of that old Virginia still left. The Virginia of that day and this will demonstrate their identity in the outcome of the movement to provide here at your university a suitable memorial of her most distinguished alumnus.
"With the proceeds of this lecture in hand, Mr. Poe started to New York, but he never made the journey. Stopping in Baltimore en route he was invited to a birthday party During the feast the fair hostess asked him to pledge with wine; and he could not refuse. That glass of wine was a spark to a powder magazine. He went on a debauch, and a few days later died in a [page 320:] hospital of mania a potu. On its nearer side death is a tragedy whenever, wherever, and however it may come. But the tragedy of Poe's death is too deep for words of mine. He was only thirty-nine years old. His best work ought to have been before him. Had he lived dad worked with unclouded brain and ardent purpose during the tremendous decades that followed, what might he not have achieved! Who can compute the loss to our literature from his untimely death!
"Go on with your work, gentlemen of the University of Virginia, provide a fitting memorial to Edgar Allan Poe, your illustrious son. Young gentlemen of the University, do your part in this good work — and shun the rock on which he was wrecked."(1)
Associated with these striking new particulars connected with Poe's last sojourn in the home of his youth, may well be added the following statement from the gentleman (now living) who administered the temperance oath to Poe while he was there.
Dec. 4, 1900
DEAR SIR, — Your favor of the 26th ult. I have. I regret to say that I fear I can contribute very little that will help you in your grand undertaking, that of placing fairly before the people the bright side of the character of the poet Poe. About fifty years ago I heard Mr. Poe deliver a lecture at the Exchange Hotel lecture-room this city. I did not meet him again until early in the summer [page 321:] of 1849. He made his home at the old Swan Tavern (now standing on Broad Street between Eighth and Ninth north side). There he made the acquaintance of some member or members of the Division of the Sons of Temperance (this was a large organization previous to the war of '61-'65); he was proposed for membership, elected, and initiated about the 1st of July, '1849. The position I held in the Division made it my duty to administer to the candidate the obligation of total abstinence. During his stay in the city of the next three months or more there was not the least intimation that he had failed to live up to his obligation. In October he started to Baltimore (as was reported and generally believed to make preparation for his marriage to Mrs. Shelton, who as Miss Royster was a sweetheart of earlier life). A few days later we heard of his death at a hospital in that city, and the statement was made and too busily circulated that his death was the result of a spree commenced as soon as he reached Baltimore. We of the temperance order to which he belonged exerted ourselves to get at the facts, and the consensus of opinion was that he had not been drinking, but had been drugged. A gentleman by the name of Benson, born in Baltimore in 1811, and living there until he was twenty-one years old, went to Baltimore, and, as he knew Poe and felt much interest in the manner of his death, went to the hospital at which he died, and had a talk with the doctor (an acquaintance), who told him that Poe had not been drinking when brought to the hospital, but was under the influence of a drug; he added that he suggested the use of stimulants, but that Mr. Poe positively declined taking any. Mr. Poe lived very quietly while here. Some stories were told like the following, showing eccentricity: "He left with a Broad Street shoe merchant (who was also a member of the above mentioned order, and of the same division of which our friend had become a member) a pair of boots for repairs. Our shoe merchant was surprised a few mornings later at being knocked up by the [page 322:] poet about two hours before daylight, who had called for the boots. He explained that as he was out walking he thought to get the boots then would save him another trip.
I have stated only such facts in regard to Mr. Poe's last visit as I was in some manner mixed up with, and only wish they were of such a character as to be useful to you.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Bishop Fitzgerald mentions two important circumstances not hitherto known of Poe: that he was to be literary editor of "The Examiner" and had already contributed critical articles to it, and that he left Richmond with $1,500 in his pocket. The possession of this money throws significant light on the theory that he was drugged.
"The evening of the day," reports Mrs. Weiss, "previous to that appointed for his departure from V Richmond, Poe spent at my mother's. He declined to enter the parlors, where a number of visitors were assembled, saying he preferred the more quiet sitting-room; and here I had a long and almost uninterrupted conversation with hum. He spoke of his future, seeming to anticipate it with an eager delight, like that of youth. He declared that the last few weeks in the society of his old and new friends had been the happiest that he had known for many years, and that when he again left New York, he should there leave behind all the trouble and vexation of his past life. On no occasion had I seen him so cheerful and hopeful as on this evening. 'Do you know,' he inquired, 'how I spent most of this morning? In writing a critique of your poems to be accompanied by a biographical [page 323:] sketch. I intend it to be one of my best, and that it shall appear in the second number of "The Stylus"' — so confident was he in regard to this magazine. In the course of the evening he showed me a letter just received from I his friend, Dr. Griswold,' in reply to one but recently written by Poe, wherein the latter had requested Dr. Griswold in case of his sudden death to become his literary executor. In this reply, Dr. Griswold accepted the proposal, expressing himself as much flattered thereby, and writing in terms of friendly warmth and interest. It will be observed that this statement is a contradiction of his statement that previous to Poe's death he had had no intimation of the latter's intention of appointing him his literary executor.
"In speaking of his own writings, Poe expressed his conviction that he had written his best poems, but that in prose he might yet surpass what he had already accomplished. He admitted that much which he had said in praise of certain writers was not the genuine expression of his opinions. . . . . 'You must not judge of me by what you find me saying in the magazines. Such expressions of opinion are necessarily modified by a thousand circumstances, the wishes of editors, personal friendship, etc.'
"Poe expressed great regret in being compelled to leave Richmond, on even so brief an absence. He would certainly, he said, be back in two weeks. He thanked my mother with graceful courtesy and warmth for her kindness and hospitality, and begged that we would write to him in New York, saying it would do him good.
"He was the last of the party to leave the house. We were standing on the portico, and after going a [page 324:] few steps he paused, turned, and again lifted his hat, in a last adieu: At the moment, a brilliant meteor appeared in the sky directly over his head, and vanished in the east. We commented laughingly upon the incident; but I remembered it sadly afterwards."
The prophetic words of "Ulalume " immediately recur:
"The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped and sere,
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year."
October somehow seems mystically entangled with the poet's fate, just as the great dirge of "The Raven," which Dore has transformed into a magic and ardent Passion Play of Shadow-Land, swarming with the mystic imagery of Dreams, seemingly points in its "bleak December," to the month in which the poet's mother died in Richmond.
"As he was about to leave Richmond, he turned to Mr. Thompson; saying, 'By the way, you have been very kind to me, — here is a little trifle that may be worth something to you'; and he handed Mr. Thompson a small roll of paper, upon which were written the exquisite words of 'Annabel Lee.' "(1)
Just a little while before, on St. Valentine's Day, 1849, he wrote to his friend Thomas: "Right glad am I to find you once more in a true position — in the field of Letters. Depend upon it, after all, Thomas, Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my part, there is no seducing me from the path. I [page 325:] shall be a Littérateur at least all my life; nor would I abandon the hopes which still lead me on for all the gold in California [the Argonaut "craze" was just then starting and the whole country was aflame with fabulous reports from the western Golconda]. Talking of gold, and of the temptations at present held out to 'poor-devil authors,' did it ever strike you that all which is really valuable to a man of letters — to a poet in especial — is absolutely unpurchasable? Love, fame, the dominion of intellect, the consciousness of power, the thrilling sense of beauty, the free air of Heaven, exercise of body and mind, with the physical and moral health which result — these and such as these are really all that a poet cares for: then answer me this — why should he go to California?"
Life seemed bewilderingly bright — almost as bright as the fairy landscapes of "Arnheim" and "The Island of the Fay " painted it — now that he had arranged with a Mr. E. H. W. Patterson, of Gquawka, Illinois, for the simultaneous publication, in St. Louis and New York, of "The Stylus," to appear in July, 1850. Meanwhile, there were dark sides to the picture: Mrs. Clemm was actually suffering, as she wrote Griswold, for the necessaries of life, and begged a small loan from the supposed friend; neither "Annie" nor "Estelle" had yet come to the rescue as they so nobly did, later.
But the wedding-ring was ready, and the scene so exquisitely pre-figured in "The Bridal Ballad" — with the situation of bride and groom reversed — was about to take place: only a dress-coat was still wanting, to make Richmond, the scene of the first marriage, the scene of a second and happier one. Much, and eloquently, as Poe had written against second marriages [page 326:] — in "Ligeia" for instance, and "The Bridal Ballad " — he was about to embark on one himself, the same match from which, a year before, he had been mysteriously recalled by the reception of two anonymous stanzas from Mrs. Whitman when he was in Richmond on the same mission. Apparently, he did not remember his own prophetic and incisive words:
"Would God I could awaken!
For I dream I know not how,
And my soul is sorely shaken
Lest an evil step be taken,
Lest the dead who is forsaken
May not be happy now."
"The [last] night," continues Mrs. Weiss, "he spent at Duncan's Lodge [the home of the Mackenzies, who had adopted his sister]; and as his friends said, sat late at his window, meditatively smoking, and seemingly disinclined for conversation. On the following morning, he went into the city, accompanied by his friends, Dr. Gibbon Carter and Dr. Mackenzie. The day was passed with them and others of his intimate friends. Late in the evening he entered the office of Dr. John Carter, and spent an hour in looking over the day's papers; then taking Dr. Carter's cane he went out, remarking that he would step across to Saddler's (a fashionable restaurant) and get supper. From the circumstance of his taking the cane, leaving his own in its place, it is probable he had intended to return; but at the restaurant he met with some acquaintances who detained him until late, and then accompanied him to the Baltimore boat. According to their accounts, he was quite sober and cheerful to the last, remarking, as he took leave of them, that he would soon be in Richmond again."

Non-fiction is fine for the challenge. It tends not to win as often as fiction or poetry, possibly because much inspirational nonfiction has an element of "been there, done that." To catch the judges' eyes, it really has to be quite creative and special.

Would the name Lowry indicate that their arrival in East Donegal appeared at the time of Ludovic or earlier?

Does anyone know how common it was for Scottish surnames to be altered or even changed once upon entering Ulster? I ask because my Y-DNA says emphatically I am a Campbell. There is a certain DNA signature that is found mainly with men surnamed Campbell and even though men of other surnames can have sequences similar to it, the only exact matches I ever have are with people named Campbell and no one else. The thing is, my surname is not Campbell nor is it one of the sept names of Clan Campbell. In fact, it's a name not even remotely thought to be related or connected to Clan Campbell historically and there are no records of adoption anywhere on my father's side at least back to the 1700's.I am from America, and my only guess at this point is one possibility is that they may or may not have been Campbells originally in Scotland, but either upon coming to Ulster or here to America, they completely changed their name entirely for some reason.I don't have the paper trail to figure it all out yet, but it's interesting. Whether they were Campbells or not, my Y-DNA does not match any of the other signatures for men with my surname on any genetic testing website and I can go to any Campbell surname testing site, whether FTDNA or otherwise and always get 100% perfect matches every time with my DNA signature, even though my surname is in no way connected to Clan Campbell or even one of the sept names of the Clan either.What makes it harder, is that my own surname is the 2nd most common name in all of Scotland...and probably all of America and the U.K. for that matter, also.But it's interesting what you can learn about your family history with DNA testing. I knew I had alot of Scotch-Irish ancestry, but since my father's name was so common and typical I never thought his surname was be Scotch-Irish as well until I did the Y-DNA test.

In the southern U.S. we are always taught that the "Scotch-Irish" came from both Ulster and directly from the Anglo-Scottish Border Region to America. But does anyone truly know just how many truly came from Ulster compared to how many came directly from the Scottish Lowlands or the Scottish Border itself to America at the same time? Because they all got lumped in as the Scotch-Irish in America, so how many actually came from Anglo-Scottish Border directly to America?
The Ulster-Scots and the Anglo-Scots all became known as the Scotch-Irish in the southern part of North America.

That is a very good point. 'Scots-Irish' is really a catch-all term as it is used today. Many Scots-Irish are not historically from Ulster. Example would be Jim Bowie, his family direct from Scotland. The even among the Ulster Scots-Irish, many are of Highland Scottish or even native Irish ancestry. There were Highland Scottish migrations to Ulster in the 1500s... and many of these 'became' Scots-Irish, there were also large scale conversions to the Reformed Faith by native Irish, especially in the Bann Valley, the also became Scots-Irish. In the Ulster Heritage DNA Project we have had many Scots-Irish discover their roots are native Irish or Highland Scots. Just one of those interesting aspects of history that is often left out in popular history of Scots-Irish.

In the DNA project I can tell you two origins of Campbell have turned up. Most are Highland Scots from mid Argyll. Clann Chaimbeul sponsored a settlement in east Donegal and northwest Tyrone in the 1500s, many of these Campbell date to that event. There is also a native Irish family that anglicised their surname as Campbell, the Mac Cathmhaoil family. This has been confirmed via DNA testing.

Where The Sidewalk Ends
Shel Silverstein
"In third grade, I fell in love with Shel Silverstein's sense of humor in Where the Sidewalk Ends. The cover is now ripped and torn, and the pages are worn and stained, but I have never stopped reading it. When my son was a year old, my younger brother was sent to Iraq. He found a program for soldiers to record themselves reading a book to a loved one, and recorded himself reading some WTSE poems. In the beginning of the video he explains to my son that this book was his momma's favorite when she was little and that he used to sneak it from her so that he could read it also, which was the first I had ever heard. It brought tears to my eyes as I watched my son listen to every word and we followed along holding the same book my brother was holding in the video." -Rebecca, St. Augustine, FL

The Polar Express

"I can remember reading The Polar Express and being so overwhelmed with anticipation of Santa Claus' magic. I still love it, even as an adult. I'm almost 3 months pregnant and bought the book for my unborn child with the dream of reading it to him every Christmas Eve." Leah, North Stonington, CT

You Were Loved Before You Were Born
Eve Bunting
"You Were Loved Before You Were Born. It's about aunts, cousins and grandparents preparing for the baby to come. When the book mentions family members, we replace them with the names of the people in our family, making it personalized for my daughter. I think that's why she likes it so much!" -Kristi, Napa, CA

Oh! The Places You'll Go
Dr. Seuss
"I love the symbolism in Oh! The Places You'll Go. I tear up every time I read it to my daughter each year on her birthday, knowing that one day she will be ready to leave and start her own journey. As a parent, that makes me a little scared, worried and anxious, but most of all proud that I will have prepared her to take on the world." -Penny, Katy, TX

Harold and the Purple Crayon
Crockett Johnson
"Harold and the Purple Crayon. My mother used to read us books, and she was so animated that it became more like a play then just a book. She used to give us purple crayons and we made our own books to make it even more fun to read." -Kellie, Victoria, British Columbia

I Love You, Stinky Face
Cyd Moore
"I read I Love You, Stinky Face to my son, and his face lights up when I read it. I use very silly voices and hold the book up so he can see, and he smiles and coos at all the colors. It's almost like he is trying to read it, too!" -Vanessa, East Galesburg, IL

Love You Forever
Robert Munsch
"I bought Love You Forever for my daughter way before I was ever pregnant with her. We read it all the time, and every day when I drop her off at preschool, I say 'I'll love you forever' and she responds with 'I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.'" -Courtney, Griffith, IN

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Richard Bach
"Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. I was ten when my mom gave it to me, and initially I thought, 'I don't want to read a stupid book about a seagull!' But it's about so much more. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is obsessed with speed when all the other seagulls are living just to eat. He fights against all the negativity and continues to read for his dream of speeding through the air. It teaches you to keep going towards your goals no matter how hard it is or how much people tell you that you can't. Can't is never an option. It's 91 pages of awesome. I still pick it up today." -Jamie, Harrisburg, PA

To Kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee
"I love To Kill a Mockingbird because it teaches that what we believe to be true is not always the case, and to use our own experiences, rather than others' expectations, to shape who we are and what we believe. I have two boys, but if I had a girl I would want her to be like Scout. She's so sensitive and adventurous!" -Daphne, Lafayette, LA
- Photo Courtesy of Amazon.com
Just In Case You Ever Wonder
Max Lucado
"My husband and I love reading Just In case You Ever Wonder to our son Dante because it is a nice way to explain that we will love him no matter what. We adopted him in June, and he will grow up knowing that we will always have his back and be honest with him." -Laura, Blaine, MN

Amelia Bedelia

"I have such fond memories of reading Amelia Bedelia to my little sister (with voices!) when I was younger. It could always make me smile." -Dorothy, North Fort Myers, FL
- Photo Courtesy of Amazon.com
Don Freeman
"My mom read Corduroy to me as a kid, and on the day my daughter was born, she gave me the same book. She had saved it just so I could have it for my kids. I have always loved the fact that even after his adventure through the department store and everything he sees, when he is brought home he realizes that home is where he will be loved and that is what he wants most." -Jessica, North Fort Myers, FL

The Twiddlebugs' Dream House
Pat Tornborg
"The Twiddlebugs' Dream House. The art is very special—it's composed of actual photographs of miniatures that look like little bugs that live in a 'Cookie Nips' carton outside of a little girl's bedroom window box. The story brings back so many childhood memories for me, and makes story time with my girls extra special. I intend to make sure this story is passed down for as many generations as possible!" -Lindsey, Cincinnati, OH

The Monster at the End of This Book
Jon Stone
"My son, Evan, is four and a half, and he loves when I read The Monster at the End of This Book. In fact, I usually read it to him twice and he still wants more. My youngest isn't as interested, though; all he wants to do is turn the pages." -Chrissy, Marysville, WA

DENVER Jon Embree is out as head football coach at the University of Colorado after just two seasons and four wins in 25 games.
Embree declined comment Sunday other than to confirm hed been fired by athletic director Mike Bohn earlier in the day.
Embree, who had three years left on his contract, said he would speak at a news conference today.
Even coming off the worst season in the programs 123-year history, Embrees quick hook took his players by surprise.
It (stinks), quarterback Jordan Webb said after Embree met with the players at the football facilities Sunday night. We all really liked Coach Embree a lot. And he loved us, also. Sad to see him go. We all respect him the utmost. Hes a great man.
Bohn declined comment, but in a joint statement from school President Bruce Benson, Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano, and him, Bohn said: We firmly believe a change in the leadership in our football program is in the best interests of the University of Colorado, particularly given our goal to compete at the highest levels of the Pac-12 Conference.
Embree had three years remaining on the five-year contract he signed on Dec. 6, 2010, when he replaced Dan Hawkins, whose poor recruiting classes and a string of losing seasons led to his dismissal.
Embree went 4-21 in two seasons in Boulder, including 1-11 this season, the worst in the 123-year history of the program. The Buffaloes were 1-8 in the Pac-12.
The Buffaloes only win was a 35-34 last-second comeback at Washington State on Sept. 22, which came two weeks after an embarrassing loss to lower-tier Sacramento State at Folsom Field.
Embree had no head coaching experience when he was hired at his alma mater where he was a standout tight end during the mid-1980s. He did bring 18 years of coaching experience to the program, including a decade as an assistant with the Buffaloes.
He returned to Boulder from the Washington Redskins, where he was completing his first season as tight ends coach.
Embrees first team went 3-10, including a 17-14 win at Utah that snapped the Buffaloes 24-game out-of-state losing skid. But they struggled on both sides of the ball, rotating through several quarterbacks and enduring an injury epidemic on defense for the second consecutive season.

Cemitas Puebla
3619 W. North Ave. 773-772-8435
Looks like: The United Nations. Head over around lunch and you'll find a cross-section of Chicago, all breaking cemita bread.
Smells like: Spit-roasted garlic- and onion-spiked meat
Sounds like: The clank of spatulas dancing on a flattop grill, plus the hissing of freshly popped bottles of Mexican Coke
He drips with sweat. Customs officials rifle through his suitcase at the Mexico City airport. They're looking for contraband, drugs and weapons. All they find is a Nintendo, Air Jordans and some socks.
Tony Anteliz, the owner of Humboldt Park's celebrated Cemitas Puebla restaurant, left the house at midnight, fought his way to O'Hare through falling snow. He has a 104 degree fever. He wants to crawl in to bed, but instead, catches a plane to Mexico City at 2 a.m. (because it's the cheapest fare he can find). His suitcases are filled with packages (the Jordans, etc.) from Mexicans living in Chicago. Anteliz brings these packages to his uncle, who distributes them to the Chicago transplants' families in Mexico. In exchange, Anteliz's uncle hands him a trove of hand-made mozzarella-like string cheese, queso oaxaca from the town of Chipilo located in the state of Puebla, and leathery morita chipotle chilis from Oaxacan street markets. Anteliz turns around, returns through customs, flies back and lands in Chicago at 2 p.m..
Anteliz makes this trip every six weeks, and except for the fever and the snow, it's about the same. He said, "I wish I could find these ingredients locally. I've tried, but they never taste the same." Though Anteliz has already worked a 14-hour day, he often heads straight from the airport to the restaurant do some more work, mixing the chilis with tepache, a fermented pineapple brine, to make a thick chipotle sauce for his tacos arabe ($2.75) which feature spit-roasted pork shoulder marinated in garlic, oregano and chilaca and serrano chilis, all nestled in thick pita-like tortilla.
To make his cemita milanesa ($6.50), he sprinkles the queso oaxaca over breaded and butterflied pork chops smothered with the chipotle sauce used on the taco arabe. He layers in creamy avocado and a spicy, citrusy herb called papalo and places the whole thing in a sesame-crusted bun baked daily by a local baker. This is the Muhammad Ali of Mexican sandwiches. The fresh, crispy cemita bun kicks the wimpy, airy torta bun's ass.
Though Anteliz is a cult icon of sorts amongst Chicago's top chefs (Grace's Curtis Duffy is a regular and Anteliz cooked for the Alinea staff holiday party) and hosted Guy Fieri for a segment on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," he's still as humble as he is dedicated to his business. With this success, he could probably raise prices, but as he said, "Few would complain, but there's still that fraction of my customers that would hurt. And I can't alienate them because they're the ones that kept me afloat for so many years before the foodies came. I can't line my pockets on their backs."
More on Tony Anteliz
The sweet smell of success: "I was about eight and had a bad year at school," said Anteliz. "I did so poorly, my parents were like, 'You're not gonna sit on the couch and play Atari all summer. We're sending you to your grandma [in Puebla] to learn something'." He and his brother would buy tacos arabes from a local stand near their grandmother's house. The tacos were wrapped in construction paper-like napkins that absorbed all the grease, meat juice and onion scent. He'd stuff the wrappers in his pocket and bring them back to Chicago. The taco smell lasted for year or so, he said, until his mom threw the napkins out. It was that memory that nagged at Anteliz and inspired him to open his own restaurant as an adult focusing on the regional delicacies of Puebla.
Tacoman's holiday: Anteliz ends up at La Pasadita around midnight craving a taco every once in a while. "Occasionally some guy in line will notice me and say, 'Hey, Cemitas, what's wrong with your tacos?'" he said. "I'm like, I'm hungry and my place is closed."
