Kili Climb for Wounded Warriors
The rates of PTSD, depression and suicide amongst combat veterans have skyrocketed over the past few years. In the past decade, we have lost more soldiers to suicide than we have in the Afghan War. "Of the more than 30,000 suicides in this country each year, fully 20 percent of them are acts by veterans. That means on average 18 veterans commit suicide each day." -VA Secretary Eric Shinseki (2010). Many veterans have spent the past decade fighting wars and otherwise totally engrossed in a military environment. Civilian reintegration can be extremely difficult. A 2010 study of 754 veterans found that half of them reported "some" to "extreme" difficulty in social functioning, productivity and community involvement. For these reasons, it is important for all citizens to support our war-fighters positive reintegration into society.
Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) is a grassroots organization, created by my friend Mike Erwin, whose vision is to transform the way wounded veterans are reintegrated into society when they return from combat and exit their position in the US military. Team RWB's mission is to connect and enrich the lives of at-risk and wounded veterans.
My friend Nick & I are dedicating our climb of Mount Kilimanjaro (14-25 June) to raise awareness and support for these wounded, depressed and socially-isolated veterans. We are financing this climb ourselves; therefore 100% of this fundraising effort will go to Team RWB to support wounded warriors. We are trying to raise $1 for every meter we will climb - 5895 meters (19,341 ft). Let us know if you have something special (e.g. a fallen soldier's dog-tags, a memento of a deceased loved one) that you want to touch, or bury at, the roof of Africa.
Please consider making a donation through this website. No donation is too small. ($5? okay!) More importantly, please offer not only your gratitude but also your friendship to veterans & families who enter your lives and communities.
Thank you for your support! And please share this with all who may care!

Tampa, Florida -- If you love your animal, you probably like to spend time with other animal lovers. That's one of the reasons why so many dog parks are popping up around the Bay area. They give dog owners a place to let their pets play leash-free and socialize with other animals. Owners get to socialize, too.
But one part of Tampa is dog park-free, unless agroup of neighbors can change that.
Seminole Heights has always been a welcoming neighborhood, with old oak trees and historic bungalows. It's also welcoming to animals. But people who live in Seminole Heights have to travel miles away to enjoy a dog park -- to Curtis Hixon or Al Lopez parks.
Now there's a grassroots effort to turn a portion of Henry and Ola Park into a dog park.
"There will be an area for small dogs, there will be an area for large dogs," said organizer Maurice Rosas. "We're looking to have benches, water fountains, even make sure it's available for people in wheelchairs."
Dog park supporters have created a Facebook page to keep people informed about their efforts and started an online petition to show the City of Tampa they have the support needed to create the park. They're also making sure the city knows they hope to fund the project themselves through sponsorships and fundraisers.
"We want this to be a local, off-leash dog park," said Rosas. "And I think the fact that we're going to raise our own money to make it happen, I think that shows what community is all about."
A group of supporters meets on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. at the Henry and Ola Park, with their dogs, for a walk around the neighborhood.

Brooklyn Castle
Presented by Regent Theatre, Arlington at Regent Theatre
March 27, 2014
Brooklyn Castle tells the stories of five members of the chess team at a below the poverty line inner city junior high school that has won more national championships than any other in the country. The film follows the challenges these kids face in their personal lives as well as on the chessboard, and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation of their victories. Ironically, the biggest obstacle thrust upon them arises not from other competitors but from recessionary budget cuts to all the extracurricular activities at their school. This movie shows how these kids' dedication to chess magnifies their belief in what is possible for their lives. After all, if they can master the world's most difficult game, what can't they do?
7 Medford Street
Arlington, MA 02474
Admission Info:
General Admission: $15
Phone: {781} 646-4849
The Regent Theatre has free parking right across the street from the theatre on weeknights and Saturday after 6pm, and all day Sunday. All spots are free (including "permit only" spots) after listed times.
Accessibility Information:
Assisted listening system available. Wheelchair access in lower level orchestra only, no balcony access.

Buying & Selling Fine Art
|Related Pages
I inherited a couple of pieces of fine art (20th century prints), with a market value of about $45,000, that I'd like to sell. Bonhams did the original appraisal, but I can't get them to respond to my inquiries about auctioning the items. Can anyone recommend another auction house or dealer who can sell these prints for me or buy them from me? Anon
Our walls are blank and it's driving us nuts. We need art! Please recommend any galleries, artists or other outlets where we can take a look. We love to buy direct from artists if possible.
We are picky, but I can't really tell you what we like. it just depends on the particular piece. But anything from unique landscapes to abstracts to monoprints to simple line drawings. As far as budget goes, again, that depends on the piece and what it's value is to us, but we're not rich!
I am a photographer and oddly enough we are looking more for paintings, drawings and other non-photographic pieces, but still, please recommend any photographers you particularly like if that's what you know.
Of course we won't buy everything at once; over time is what we are looking at, but we want to start now. And BTW being a Berkeley parent our free time is limited, for what that is worth.
Much appreciated! Thanks. art withdrawl
Terri Saul -- mostly paintings, drawings, prints. Her work is currently up at Mythos Gallery on Solano Ave. http://www.terrisaul.com/
Ruth Shorer -- paintings, ceramics that can be hung on a wall. http://ruthpetersenshorer.com/ anon
Secondly, find a history book on your area, like Arcadia Press or contact the Chamber of Commerce, and buy a file of an old photo of your specific area. (about $50 bucks)
When a friend of mine moved to Lafayette into a big walled empty space, I bought two great old files of Lafayette and blew them up to 16 x 20 and framed them as a gift. She LOVES THEM as they are great conversation pieces and give the home a very solid feeling.

My hubby and I just invested in our 1st piece of 'real' art. We would like to have someone come professionally hang it and also would like to have lighting installed in the ceiling. The lighting would need to be adjustable as the picture takes on different looks with different lighting. We don't know where to start looking for help with this.. Any suggestions. New Art Owner
There is a fun store on Grand Avenue (opposite the ex-Safeway/now construction site) that has art consignments, but I don't know their policies. Also, I remember seeing one on the north side of University Avenue near Milvia. Good luck. Laura

How to earn money fast with affiliate marketing?
There are many types of money making techniques and mediums that people use to earn money through the internet. Affiliate marketing happens to be one of these techniques. Basically, affiliate marketing is a type of technique where people advertise, promote and/or sell the products and/or services of other people instead of their products and/or through mediums such as their own blogs or their own social media accounts. The owners of the product or service that a person promotes or sells through their own social media account(s) pay the person for their services. Affiliate marketing is practiced all over the world and as the world becomes fonder of the internet, affiliate marketing becomes a whole lot easier.
Why should people use affiliate marketing?
Well, there are many reasons why a person should try to earn money fast with affiliate marketing. Well, the first reason why a person should do so is because affiliate marketing is becoming easier day by day. The easier affiliate marketing becomes, the easier it will be for a person to earn money through affiliate marketing. Secondly, affiliate marketing does not require a lot of prerequisites. Any person can earn money through affiliate marketing as long as they have enough traffic on their blog and enough connections to other people through their social media account(s). In addition, the more traffic and the more connections a person has, the more money they will be able to earn through affiliate marketing.
How to earn money fast with affiliate marketing?
Many people want to earn money really fast through affiliate marketing. However, most people do not know exactly how they can do so. The following are the ways that a person can use in order to earn money fast with affiliate marketing.
Sell a product or service
As mentioned before, affiliate marketing is an online money making technique where a person either promotes someone else's product or service or promotes it. If a person chooses to earn money fast with affiliate marketing by selling someone else's product or service through their social media connections, they will earn a certain amount of money for every sale that takes place through their social media connections. The amount of money that a person earns for every sale they make is their "commission". In addition, the more products and/or services a person sells, the more commission they will be able to earn and the more will be their overall income which they earned through affiliate marketing.
Promote a product or service
The second way how a person can earn money fast with affiliate marketing is by promoting someone else's product or service. All a person needs to do in order to promote someone else's product or service is to advertise the it by mentioning the name of the product or service, a link to its complete description and specifications, their experience with the product and why they would recommend the product to their social media connections whenever they update their blog or social media account(s). In addition, there are many other ways how a person can promote someone else's product or service but this is the easiest and simplest one.

As fun as it was to catch up with Sarah Hyland at last night's Emmy Awards, it's not really TV we want to talk about with the "Modern Family" actress. NOPE. 'Cause the role we're all waiting to see her play isn't some small-screen business; it's the big, bloody, beeeeeaauutiful part of Natalie Dashkov, unassuming member of the St. Vladimir's student body, in "Vampire Academy."
Fortunately, it turns out that Sarah is as psyched about the film as we are—and just as invested in seeing a movie that's faithful to its source material. After confessing to being an avid member of the Harry Potter fandom, the actress talked about the difficulties in adapting a much-loved literary series for the big screen without losing anything essential in translation...especially when, as far as fans are concerned, it's all essential.
"There's always going to be something that's missing," she told VH1 on the red carpet, "but 'Vampire Academy' actually stays really true to the book."

The leather straps are a bit stiff at first, so you probably wouldn't want to take it on a week-long hike brand new (especially in a thin or sleeveless shirt) - it gets more comfortable when it's a little broken-in.
I must say, I am a boot/shoe and bag fanatic, and this is the MOST amazing backpack I've ever found. And it smells sooo good!

Women may find that it takes a while before their periods start again or become regular. Some types of treatment may be likely to cause an early menopause.
After treatment, even if men are able to have erections and ejaculate, it may take a while before they start making sperm again. We have more information about fertility in young men|.
After treatment, it can be hard to decide how long to wait to have a test to see whether you're still able to have children. It's important that you choose the right time for you, although sometimes there may be medical factors to take into account.
This can be a difficult decision, as it may affect other aspects of your life - such as your relationships with your partner, family members and friends. Everyone is different, and the decision about whether to have a fertility test is completely yours.

If you have other major demands, such as taking exams, leaving education, leaving home or starting a new job, these are likely to be stressful and challenging. In this case you may not want to add the emotional effects of having a fertility test.
As fertility testing is a big step to take, you might find it useful to talk through your thoughts and feelings with other people. These can include:

Question by Level Headed, I hope: How to address baby shower invitation?
I'm sending out baby shower invitations this week. Is it tacky to print clear labels with the addresses, or should i handwrite them? I don't have very nice handwriting, and I know there is an etiquitte controversy here. I did the proper addressing for my wedding invitations (label on the outside, handwritten on the inside). Now I'm planning a shower for my sister, and I'm not sure what to do.
Best answer:
Answer by Rosie
I don't think that baby shower invitations have to be formal. Print your labels if you want. If it looks better and the post office can read it, that's all that matters.
What do you think? Answer below!
This is a beautiful floral arrangement created out of baby washcloths. It displays nicely at the baby shower and makes a great gift for mom-to-be!

Question by _SOFIA_: How to pay for a baby shower at a restaurant?
I am planning a baby shower for my best friend.
I am thinking of doing it at a restaurant. I am inviting around 10-15 people (women)
I have a few questions:
1. Who pays the meals?
2. Should I ask for money instead of gifts?
3. What can we do besides eating. should we play a game ? Please help…
Any ideas?
Best answer:
Answer by sweethailo
the person holding the shower is supposed to pay for everything, unless you have a co-host, then the cost is split. i wouldnt suggest doing it at a resturant as it could get pricey, and you cant ask for money instead of gifts as it is not your shower it is your friends, so even if you did ask for money instead, it would go to your friend, not you…who would still end up paying the bill….you could possibly suggest the idea to people who will be invited and see if they would be willing to pay for their own meals or chip in 15-20$ each so that you dont have to pay for it all, but do not ask for money instead of gifts unless that is what the mother to be wants. and as for what you can do, you will be opening gifts, but i dont know what games you could play at a resturant other then the "dont say baby game"
Give your answer to this question below!

When Triple H first turned on Daniel Bryan at Summerslam, and aligned himself with Randy Orton, there was a great deal of optimism for WWE, one that had not been felt in quite some time. On paper, a pairing of HHH and Orton seemed like a perfect fit. Triple H was set to play the corporate tyrant, similar to the roles played wonderfully by Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon in the past. Adding an accomplished heat seeker like Stephanie McMahon looked like a move that could only help matters, and so WWE looked to be heading in a new direction.
During the months since "The Authority" arrived, it has become apparent that they are not a storyline that is going to change the fortunes of WWE. No, instead they appear to be just another poorly executed angle that failed to make a big impact on TV ratings and PPV buys. While The Authority is still going strong today, the chances of it making the earth-shattering moves that fans hoped would happen when the storyline first debuted are pretty much doomed.
One of the big mistakes WWE made was that they were somewhat vague on what role HHH was going to play. Sometimes, HHH was there to throw his weight around, putting the screws to faces and screwing Daniel Bryan out of title shots. Other times, HHH was endearing himself to the fans, listening to their demands because that was "best for business."
If the goal is to have Triple H be an evil boss, the guy that makes life harder for all their hard-working people, than that has been a failure. A character like Vince McMahon, a corporate tyrant who WWE would really like Triple H to be, didn't give a damn what was "best for business."
If the fans wanted something, Vince McMahon quickly aligned himself with the exact opposite of what they wanted. McMahon was fond of saying "These people don't know what they want, I know what these people want." If evil Mr. McMahon was in charge of WWE right now, he would have never given John Cena a unification match just because he asked for one. Could you ever imagine Steve Austin coming out in 1999 and demanding that he get a title match against The Rock, and Vince McMahon just gave it to him? Where is the heel in that? Why would fans hate someone who just gave the top face in the company a title match for no reason other than that he asked for one?
It was shocking to see Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come out before Survivor Series and pump up the crowd. They said that there would be no interference in any of the matches tonight (why say that when you already said that there would be no interference in the main event, the only match involving HHH) and Triple H did his old "Are you ready?" bit that always gets the crowd going. Survivor Series was a PPV that was almost entirely built around the fact that people do not like HHH and Stephanie, yet the show starts with them appearing and cutting a very face-like promo. The confusion in booking HHH's character was certainly led to a reduced reaction from the crowd. He does not get the heat that an evil corporate boss, unquestionably the biggest heel in the company, should get, and that is probably because of the inconsistency with his character.
So maybe Triple H is not supposed to be this 100 percent, evil bad guy. Maybe his character is supposed to be subservient to somebody else. Well, that somebody else would be Randy Orton, and Triple H is hardly subservient to Orton. Orton is supposed to be the cocky, brash and arrogant heel that comes from a lineage of wrestlers, and is the apple of HHH's eye as what a champion is supposed to look like. Orton however, has come across more as Triple H's lackey than his equal. Orton is consistently being put-down by Triple H, and Triple H frequently wonders if he is sure that Orton is the right guy to build the company around.

- Financial Information and Services
Interviewing Skills
The interview process is your opportunity to communicate your skills and experience to hiring officials. The interview process involves everything from greeting the hiring official to managing the questions to following up the interview. It is that dynamic interplay between the spoken and unspoken word that, when handled successfully, produces job offers.
This phase of the job search consists of the following activities:
- Preparing for the Employment Interview: A successful employment interview will require you to demonstrate some knowledge of the employer/field/position, and to establish that hiring you will be the right decision. Researching the employer and preparing yourself for likely interview questions are vital. Click here for details.
- The Employment Interview: Your resume has convinced an employer that communicating with you face-to-face, or even over the telephone, is now in order. In either case, however, an employment interview is more than just a conversation, or a question and answer session. Researching and preparing answers are very important, but not enough. Learn interview protocol – the do's and don'ts of successful interviewing. Click here for details.
- The Post-Interview Follow-up: Your role in the employment search process does not end when you leave the interview room; know what to do next. Click here for details.
Interview Preparation
- Once you have scheduled an interview appointment, be sure to record the time, date, and location of your interview.
- Research the employer and industry or field by reading appropriate literature, most often available at CPDI, and by visiting employer and other appropriate Web sites. CPDI also stocks some employers' recruiting videos.
- Use the information you have gathered to formulate questions for interviewers on available positions, goals of the department/division/organization, professional development opportunities, the "next step" in the interview process, etc.
- Attend one of CPDI's many scheduledInterview and Dress for Success workshops; consult with some of the many published works, several of which are available in The Career Center library, on interviewing techniques, etc.; view interview videos at The Career Center.
The Employment Interview
- Confirm your interview appointment with the front desk at The Career Center.
- Dress appropriately. If you have not attended a Dress for Success Workshop, and are unsure regarding appropriate interview attire, inquire at CPDI.
- Don't be late. Interviews generally take place inNAC 4/146,but we strongly recommend checking in at CPDI at least ten minutes before your scheduled interview time.
- After you have entered the interview room, offer the interviewer a firm handshake and pleasant greeting; be seated when you are asked to do so, or at the same time the interviewer takes his or her seat.
- Speaking clearly and audibly, be sure to answer all questions succinctly. Elaborate whenever requested, and ask appropriate/relevant questions.
- Remember to request the interviewer's business card before leaving the room.
- When the interview appears to be over, rise from your seat as the interviewer does so. Be sure to thank him or her for the opportunity to have interviewed for the position(s), and again, offer a firm handshake before leaving.
The Post-Interview Follow-up
- Be sure to write a "thank you" letter to your interviewer; you should have requested a business card for just this purpose. Sample letters are available in the self-service area of The Career Center.
- Provide feedback to The Career Center regarding your interview experience, as well as information on any second interview, etc.
- If you are not contacted regarding a second interview or a decision to hire, please do not expect The Career Center to have any such information, or to contact the recruiter on your behalf; send the recruiter a follow-up letter to communicate your continuing interest in the employer/position.
Complete a Placement Report (.pdf file) form to inform CPD about any employment offers received and accepted. The resumes of candidates participating in the Resume Referral Program will continue to be referred until The Career Center receives their completed Placement Report, or until candidates otherwise instruct us to cease referring their resume.

Classy Glass Antiques & Collectables
Classy Glass Antiques & Collectables, England, UK
This is a seldom seen pattern of Vallerysthal glass, in the form of a royal orb with gilding & red enamel.
Founded in c1836 in Lorraine, France as: Societe des Verreries Reunies de Plaine de Walsch et Vallerysthal, the glassworks had become by c1855 more known as: Klenglin et Cie, which employed both French and Bohemian glass workers who produced many interesting decorative items such as press moulded glass, opaline and art glass for example, and their sales were predominantly for the French market. However the area in which the factory was located became part of Germany during c1870 which affected Vallerysthal glass sales dramatically. They quickly purchased the Portieux glass factory which was based at Vosges in France, and whilst they held office in Vallerysthal, they could now also export through Portieux.
A new name was registered in French and in German, Verreries Reunies de Vallerysthal et Portieux, and Vereingte Glashutten Von Vallerysthal und Portieux, and the Vallerysthal/Portieux association that we recognise today was established.
Opaque glass using a wide variety of colours including uranium Vaseline, vivid turquoise, yellow and white were all primarily the glass types used by the factory and from goblets to animal themed lidded pots, sugar bowls and butter dishes etc. numerous patterns were produced, some of which are exceptionally scarce... and this `Crown Top' model is such an example.
One could easily be mistaken to consider this piece as being `Goofus Glass' (the earliest form of Carnival Glass) that was produced cheaply for promotional giveaways. The colourization for example is not too dissimilar however this piece is a signed rarity produced by Vallerysthal which predates c1900. It's an absolute gem.
It was designed and introduced by the factory as a modest butter-dish, but I have personally always seen this piece as being far better suitably displayed as a vanity item. A powder pot for example, upon a bedside dresser, for its appearance is majestically luxurious & regal.
Many of these pattern types were decorated by hand using stains, paints enamels and gilding. This particular example retains its original painted decoration, which would indicate that the piece has been looked after well and seldom used for its purpose. The glass has also been matt-satin frosted to all surfaces both inside and out. It is not at all uncommon with items such as this (and before the days of stringent Quality Control checks) for each item to display its own unique level of enamelling and or paintwork. After all, these items were decorated entirely by hand, and this piece is no exception to that rule.
It is relatively large sized for a lidded pot, at 6 inches in height and 5 inches at its widest diameter. The condition is next to excellent. There are two very tiny nicks to the inner rim of the inside of the pot and that is all. These proved impossible for me to photograph, however they do not detract, are barely noticeable and are mentioned here for accuracy of description. This is a scarce item for your collection and its display and suitable use possibilities are almost endless...
Height with lid: 6 inches Widest diameter: 5 inches Base diameter: 3.75 inches Postage weight: 1k 700gms

"Unfortunately, my schedule will not allow me to attend the Golf Classic this year, but I do plan to make it next year. I am even considering making it a regular part of my yearly schedule. I believe in the mission that strongly," he adds.

The Cure still going strong
After 20 years, frontman Robert Smith is still having fun with the music and the band
By JANE STEVENSON Toronto Sun
The Cure's Robert Smith wants you to know his British pop band, which
came to prominence in the '80s, is
anything but passe.
Particularly in light of some serious Cure-bashing in English director
Mike Leigh's latest movie, Career Girls, an
otherwise hilarious film about the reunion of two women who were Cure-loving college roommates.
"He (Leigh) invited me to the screening in the summer in London to
show to distributors and I had one of the
weirdest afternoons of my life," says Smith, down the line from New York City.
"There's one bit in the film when they see a poster for The 13th,
the first single from the last album, and she
says to her friend, `Are they still releasing records?'
"And I thought that was really unfair -- `The unchanging man in the changing world.'"
Smith, on the phone to talk about The Cure's recently released greatest
hits collection, Galore, is starting to
sound defensive.
And really, who can blame him?
"It was the only part of the film that I thought, `It's really re-enforcing
the popular misperception that if I've
stayed in one line of work that's had the name The Cure I can't possibly have developed in any way through the
last 20 years, which is so far away from the truth.'
"The experiences I've had, because of The Cure, they've been so many
many and varied, that I just suspect
I've developed an awful lot more than most other people I've known in the last 20 years."
It's true that Smith's trademark goth look and dreamy, often gloomy
pop have gone in and out of fashion in the
last two decades. But there's something eternal about his shock of teased black hair, pale white face and
smudged red lipstick. It's almost like you can't imagine the music world without him.
"I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with," says
Smith. "People think you can't be a grownup
unless you're moaning about your job."
Which isn't to say Smith, now 42, necessarily feels like an adult.
The cover of Galore features a diapered baby
sitting on a beach eating an ice-cream cone, but the married Smith says he's not ready to become a parent.
"I'm big in the uncle department. And I prefer it. I like having
the kids for weekends and not having to tell
them off. I just like taking them out and teaching them bad tricks. I hate the idea of being a dad. I'm too
undisciplined and too selfish to be a father."
The Cure did perform concerts in New York and L.A. in support of
Galore, but the closest thing Toronto
audiences will get to a Robert Smith experience in the next six months is on the new record, which basically picks
up where the 1986 Standing On A Beach singles compilation left off.
In addition to the new song, Wrong Number, which features the distinctive
guitar playing of David Bowie's
axeman Reeves Gabrels, the track listing includes the hits Why Can't I Be You, Just Like Heaven, Fascination
Street and Friday, I'm In Love.
"The last time I did a promotional trip was for Standing On A Beach
in 1987," says Smith. "And I came on my
own and I did North America, and went completely insane over like a 10-day period. So this time I thought I'll
bring everyone over with me so it's more fun."
Still, an in-store autograph signing in L.A. brought about a strange
occurrence when some legal papers were
served on Smith.
"Someone sort of broke though the security and sort of thrust something
toward me," he says. "It's an incident
that happened last year. I think only I was there. Someone started hitting me on the back of the head outside a
hotel and someone else turned around and hit him back. It was actually sorted out on the night and I thought it
was all over. I just think it's a bit of a publicity stunt. I don't expect we'll see it again. I suppose we sort of forget
that America is a very litigious country. You can get sued for sneezing."
Wrong Number has turned out to be The Cure's biggest North American
hit in five years -- it's currently
moving up Billboard's Modern Rock charts and sits at No. 9.
Smith says the song's early Cure sound isn't necessarily the direction
the band is taking on their next record,
which they are currently working on and is due next spring. A tour of festivals is to follow.
"It's difficult to say because Wrong Number didn't sound like it
does until Reeves started playing on it," says
Smith, with a laugh.
Smith certainly seems taken with Gabrels, whom he calls "a nice bloke."
They only met for the first time in
January when Smith was asked to take part in Bowie's 50th birthday party concert at Madison Square Garden.
"I was there for like a week and I had a couple of evenings with
him. I just found I clicked straight away. I just
really got on with him."
For Smith, personality always takes precedence over musicianship when it comes to The Cure.
"People that've been in the band and people that work with the band,
it's entirely to do with personality," he
says. "There have been very few virtuosos in the history of the group but there have been a lot of really nice
people. The Cure backstage is a notoriously fun-filled zone."
As it turned out, Smith brought the house down with his Bowie duet
on Quicksand, outperforming other special
guests that night like Frank Black and Billy Corgan.
"I was very, very apprehensive before I did that," admits Smith.
"I didn't want it to go wrong. I wanted it to be
really good. It was being filmed; I was very aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. And because
we were doing Quicksand particularly, that I'd learned phonetically when I was about 14 years old, I could not
get that version out of my mind. Even when I was walking on stage, I was thinking, `I'm going to sing the wrong
Smith also didn't think his first meeting with Bowie -- they interviewed
each other for a London radio station a
few years back -- had gone very well.
"I was very nervous about meeting him and I drank too much and listened
to the tapes afterwards. We spoke
for about four hours, and I was incredibly reactionary and rude," says Smith.
And drunk?
"Basically, yeah, at the end of the four hours I was," he says. "And
he (Bowie) told me he liked it. He kind of
found it refreshing that I was disputing virtually everything he said." Naturally, the eventual invite to take part
in Bowie's birthday bash came as a complete surprise.
"When he phoned up, it was completely out of the blue," says Smith.
"I mean I got a message on my answering
machine saying, `This is David Bowie.' And I actually thought it was someone messing about."
FORMED: 1976, Crawley, Eng.
HISTORY: Singer-songwriter Robert Smith began learning guitar chords
from his older brother at age six and
formed Easy Cure by age 16 with schoolmates Lol Tolhurst and Michael Dempsy.
TOTAL SALES: 25 million.
CONTROVERSIES: When their 1979 single, Killing An Arab, reappeared
on the 1987 retrospective, Standing On
A Beach, some American deejays used the song to advance anti-Arab sentiments. Later Tolhurst unsuccessfully
sued Smith in 1993 over songwriting royalties after he had left The Cure.

Delicious, with a grand presentation, despite the fact that the components are fairly straight-forward to make and assemble. I substituted bosc pears and French Roquefort because I couldn't find seckel or cabrales after three stops. I was tempted to add sugar to the pomegranate reduction, because after reducing it had a very bitter finish, but I but held off. The small amount drizzled on top was perfect with the sweeter pear and ice cream. I'd recommend using parchment for the almond cake. The ice cream was delicious on its own. I'll probably try pairing it with other fruits, too. Another benefit is that everything can be made in advance, leaving the assembly to the last minute.flag if inappropriate
