Cardamom is Captivating: A Recipe for Banana Apple Cardamom Cake with Cardamom Icing
Few spices can excite your taste buds as powerfully as cardamom. Have you ever noticed how someone will take a bite of a cardamom-laced dessert, declare instant love, yet not be able to identify the spice?
That's because cardamom is enigmatic. Think about it: Is it spicy or sweet? Citric or floral? Does it taste like lemon? Cinnamon? Anise? Christmas? Yes. Cardamom embodies all of these flavors in one glorious spice, which is why baking with cardamom is so popular.
As this Banana Apple Cardamom Cake bakes, it will permeate your home with the sweet and spicy aromas of cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and coconut. With mashed ripe bananas, butter, and coconut milk, this is an especially moist cake that is punctuated with bits of chewy raisins, crisp apples, and crunchy nuts. It makes a sweet start to the day when paired with a mug of hot coffee or a relaxing afternoon snack with a cup of tea or a glass of milk. It also has the added benefit of tasting even better the next day.
Banana Apple Cardamom Cake with Cardamom Icing
Makes 2 (9-inch) round cakes; serves 16-20
Print recipe only here.
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 sticks (12 T) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
2 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1 1/4 cups chopped fresh apple, peeled (such as Fuji, Rome Beauty, or Honey Crisp)
1/2 cup raisins (or chopped dates)
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
Icing and Garnish:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
several droplets of milk
1. Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter or coat with cooking two (9 X 2-inch) round cake pans.
2. In a medium size bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugars and beat at medium speed for a couple of minutes. Add eggs and beat well. Add the honey, vanilla, and coconut milk, and beat until batter is silky. Lower the speed, add the bananas, and beat briefly.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients, and mix until just incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir in the apples, raisins, coconut, and nuts. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cakes are a deep golden brown. You'll know they're done when a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer the cakes to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.
6. Meanwhile, make the icing in a small bowl by whisking together confectioners' sugar and cardamom. Add a few droplets of milk and continue whisking until the icing is smooth and thin yet clings to the back of a spoon. When it's ready, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any tiny clumps of confectioners' sugar.
7. Invert cakes onto a rack, then turn right side up. Using a spoon, drizzle the icing over the top of the cakes, and spread it with a thin, metal spatula. Sprinkle each cake with 1/4 cup of toasted coconut, and 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios. Allow to set for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

I have a tendency to think of cardamom as the umami of the baking world. You can tell it's there, doing magical things, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is. This cake sounds amazing. I lvoe teh fruit included in it.

I have to say... I never thought of myself as a "tropical flavors" kind of gal but this cake has become an absolute favorite. This is the second time I've made it - the first time, I was going to a potluck and halved the recipe and everyone got mad at me for not bringing two cakes!
One change that I think is really delicious though... I have been making the glaze with 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 t cardamom, the juice of 1/2 a lime, and a dash of dark rum. Ammmmmmmmazing. Adds the perfect tang to the cake. Thanks for this recipe!

First, atheism 2.0:
Alain de Botton speaks of gleaning useful culture from the trappings of religion. In my opinion, he takes a bit of time to get going, and I'm not convinced that he's speaking to atheism so much as secularism or humanism, but that's not a big deal. It did, though, remind me of some biology. After the jump:
"Evolution is smarter than you are" (Orgel's Second Rule). We get all sorts of neat chemicals, neat materials, neat strategies, simply by looking around at what evolution has come up with. A plant's war with insects might have come up with a biochemical arsenal we could use. A snail's saliva turns out to be a more powerful pain reliever than morphine. Cuttlefish chromatophores inspire flat-screen televisions. Evolution takes its sweet time, and is powered by massive loss of life, but it gets the job done. And by looking at the end product of countless failed experiments, we can pluck out the winners and save ourselves a lot of time and effort.
That is what de Botton suggests we do with the culturally evolved characteristics of the successful species in cultural evolution–and there may be few cultural species or strategies more successful than religion. The use of ritual, of calendar, of oratory… de Botton suggests that "atheism 2.0" will draw inspiration from religion, pluck out the winning strategies and take a giant step forward.
But, see, I like the privative definition of atheism. It makes the most sense to me, and stops most misunderstandings in their tracks. It's simple, and nothing more than it needs to be. If you want a positively defined world view, you are free to have it; it is, however, independent of atheism. Humanism, perhaps, could benefit from de Botton's advice. For me, though… his "atheism 2.0" reminds me, oddly enough, of "atheism 3.0", and of course, "atheism 6.2":
In Atheism 6.2
The features that we add for you
Revise the changes we'd begun
In 5.5 through 6.1
In 5.5 through 5.7
Metaphors of hell and heaven
Were allowed, but pearly gates
Were strictly seen as 5.8's
You must remember 5.9,
In which we said communion wine
Was for the first time "good to go"
(We took it back in 6.0.)
But frankly, wine was lots of fun,
So just as quickly, 6.1
Restored the wine, now 6.2
Allows us cheese and crackers, too.
But wine and crackers, even cheeses
Are not blood, nor flesh of Jesus,
(Once, of course, we called it true,
But that was version 4.2.)
Accomodationism maths
Makes some folks mad as psychopaths
They rant and rave like total jerks
And say "The beta version works!"
It has no bugs; it needs no mods,
It's simply "no belief in gods"
But whiny people soon complained,
So changes soon were entertained
The purists say it came undone
As early on as 1.1
Which left believers free to claim
That "God" was "Nature's other name"
Before you knew it, 1.3
Included "spirituality"
From there, by pieces, fits, and starts,
The later versions hit the charts
I wonder, what could be in store
For 6.3 and 6.4.
So pick your fave, and start a schism.
One thing it's not… is atheism.

WASHINGTON, April 24 (UPI) -- Republicans have "a one-in-three chance" of losing control of the House this fall, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in an interview to be broadcast Tuesday.
"I would say that there is a two-in-three chance that we win control of the House again, but there's a one-in-three chance that we could lose, and I'm being, myself, frank," he told Fox News Channel.
"We've got a big challenge, and we've got work to do," a transcript of the interview indicated Boehner said.
A spokesman for Boehner's political office told CNN the speaker's "candid" comment was not a slip but rather a deliberate wake-up call to remind supporters and potential donors House Republicans need support this fall.
"It would be mistake for anyone" to assume the Republicans will keep control of the House in the November elections, Cory Fritz said.
Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele told MSNBC Jan. 20 keeping a GOP House majority "could be very, very hard."
A member of The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board wrote in a commentary the GOP majority could be in jeopardy if Republicans didn't make keeping it a priority.
"The House is no sure thing," Kimberly A. Strassel wrote.
Democrats need to win 25 congressional districts to re-take the House.
A president's party rarely wins many seats when the president is running for re-election, The Washington Post said Feb. 6. Even when Ronald Reagan won a resounding re-election in 1984, the Republican Party gained just 16 seats, the Post said.
The last time a president's party won more than 25 seats while the president was re-elected was 1964.
Boehner told Fox he was still concerned.
"We have 50 of our members in tough races, 89 freshmen running for their first re-elections, and we have 32 districts that are in states where there is no presidential campaign going to be run, no big Senate race -- and we call these orphan districts," Boehner said in the interview.
"You take 18 of them -- California, Illinois and New York, where you know we're not likely to do well at the top of the ticket -- and those districts are frankly pretty vulnerable," he said.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll taken Feb. 29-March 3 indicated voters preferred a Democratic-controlled Congress to a Republican one 46 percent to 41 percent.
The poll's margin of error wasn't immediately available, but when the poll asked the same question in January -- and the results were about the same -- the sampling error was 3.1 percentage points.
In June 2011, the poll found registered voters were evenly split -- 44 percent to 44 percent -- between which party they would prefer to control Congress.

Lawsuit alleges racial discrimination by JFRD
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A new lawsuit alleges that the city of Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department's hiring, transfer and assignment policies have a disproportionately adverse effect on black employees.
The lawsuit, filed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, also alleges that JFRD subjects African-American employees to a hostile and racially charged work environment in violation of the Civil Rights Act.
The Lawyers' Committee and pro bono local counsel Kirsten Doolittle filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Jacksonville, on behalf of the Jacksonville Branch of the NAACP and the Jacksonville Brotherhood of Firefighters, an organization representing present, past, and aspiring black firefighters, after three years of efforts to resolve the allegations failed.
The committee said while Jacksonville's population is 30.7 percent African-American, only as few as 20 percent of firefighters are black and many of them are set to retire in the next two years.
"A career in fire service is one of only a few career opportunities in Jacksonville that offers job security, economic stability, and a means of promotion without a college degree," Doolittle said in a news release. "We are committed to ensuring that there is an equal playing field for African-Americans seeking to serve this community as paramedics and firefighters."
The committee pointed out that JFRD has a long history of discrimination against black employees. It said the department became subject to a consent decree in 1971 pursuant to a class action lawsuit, Coffey v. Braddy, which focused on discrimination in hiring of entry-level firefighters. The decree was amended in 1984 to require 1:1 hiring until the percentage of black firefighters equaled the percentage of blacks in the local population. The city unilaterally ceased 1:1 hiring in 1992.
On Feb. 17, 2006, the committee said, two African-American firefighters employed by JFRD opened their lockers to find nooses hanging inside. The act precipitated an investigation by the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission into the broad discriminatory practices and racially hostile work environment. The commission issued a report in August 2006 finding a widespread pattern and practice of discrimination against African-Americans in JFRD.
NAACP and JBOF filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in July 2008, alleging discrimination in hiring, promotion, and terms and conditions of work by JFRD. On June 5, 2009, the EEOC issued a Letter of Determination finding that the JFRD engaged in the alleged discrimination. The parties entered into mediation. As a result of the failure to reach agreement on the promotion claims, the Department of Justice filed suit against the city of Jacksonville on April 23, alleging a pattern or practice of race discrimination in promotions in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. NAACP and the JBOF have filed a motion to intervene in this action, United States of America v. Consolidated City of Jacksonville.
The Lawyers' Committee said its lawsuit focuses on JFRD's maintenance of a hiring process that results in a disparate impact on blacks.
"JFRD requires that applicants for firefighter positions take and pass the Florida State College at Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Certification Program before being eligible for hire," said Jane Dolkart, senior counsel with the Lawyers' Committee Employment Discrimination Project. "This program costs $2,900 and students are not eligible for student loans in a city where 31.1 percent of blacks live below the poverty line, compared to 18.3 percent of the general population. Additionally, hiring decisions are made by the fire chief and his staff, which have unlimited discretion in the selection of qualified candidates. This unlimited discretion allows subjective bias to creep into the hiring process."
The city has not yet commented on the lawsuit.

This season, BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winner, Nicholas Kirkwood has designed the creative for London Fashion Week (LFW). Kirkwood's geometric forms and architecturally inspired pieces have been adapted using his signature chevron pattern to create a strong visual identity which runs throughout the spring/summer 2014 LFW branding.
This September marks the third season that the British Fashion Council has worked with a designer to create bespoke artwork to be used across marketing materials and event branding at LFW.
The Kirkwood design for the central courtyard at Somerset House incorporates an interactive and reflective element where the context and location play a part in the experience within the space.
A year ago, the British Fashion Council approached Jonathan Saunders, winner of the 2012 BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund to design the artwork for London Fashion Week while last February, Manolo Blahnik, winner of the Outstanding Achievement Award prize at the 2012 British Fashion Awards applied his creativity to the LFW campaign for AW13.
Each designer's brief is simple - a blank canvas to interpret creatively, promoting London Fashion Week's reputation as the world's most innovative and creative fashion capital.
Caroline Rush, CEO of the BFC commented "It's wonderful to be able to collaborate with designers on the London Fashion Week creative - it brings a personal element and a new, exciting dimension to each season. Nicholas's creative vision: a bold palette, sharp graphic lines and his signature chevron pattern, have real impact."
"It's a great privilege to be able to team up with the BFC on this exciting project and apply my interpretation to the London Fashion Week campaign. I've taken elements of my work and designed a pattern that I feel reflects the bold nature and energy of London Fashion Week." - Nicholas Kirkwood

Five years after the end of NBC's "Friends," Phoebe Buffay's feline friend apparently still stinks – and no has figured out what they're feeding the poor critter.
During an appearance at the "Rock A Little, Feed A Lot" Benefit Concert at Club Nokia on Tuesday night in LA, the crowd called on Lisa Kudrow to play her iconic sitcom song, "Smelly Cat," according to multiple online reports and video posted on YouTube,

Lisa and former "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox Arquette were on stage to introduce Sheryl Crow when someone from the crowd shouted out a song request to the 46-year-old actress.
"Play 'Smelly Cat!'" someone called out from the crowd who had gathered to fight domestic hunger.

Not wanting the Central Perk flashback opportunity to slip by, Courteney called out, "Get her a guitar, people!"
"Is this a set up?" Lisa asked before giving the crowd what they were clamoring for.
"Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?" Lisa sang channeling her "Friends" character.

COVER SIDEBAR- Pre-jail interview: 'hindsight is 20/20,' says Robinson
There's one party George Robinson will never forget: the one that sent him to jail for 27 months.
Nearly five years after Robinson and his now ex-wife, who has changed her name from Elisa Robinson to Elisa Kelly, were arrested for serving alcohol to teens at the 16th birthday party for one of Kelly's sons, the appeals are up, and on June 11 Robinson and Kelly began serving a 27-month sentence– the harshest sentence anyone around here can remember handed down for serving booze to minors.
And they were originally sentenced to 16 years with eight years suspended, a sentence that stunned the community in 2003, when the Robinsons were led shackled out of Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
George Robinson, 52, remembers Kelly's son, Ryan Kenty, approaching them about a 16th birthday party. "I said no beer, no alcohol," says Robinson.
According to Robinson, Ryan became upset about not having alcohol at his party, and Robinson says he overheard Kelly tell her son, "Don't worry about George. I'll take care of him."
Elisa Kelly did not respond to requests for comment.
August 16, 2002, the day of the party, Robinson was in his attorney's office and then went to Lowe's to buy two folding tables for the party.
"Hindsight is 20-20," says Robinson, once again in attorney Jonathan Wren's office a fews days before his jail sentence begins. "Of course there are things I could have done differently. Even when I drove up with the folding tables, I could have dumped them and left."
The Robinsons' marriage was in trouble before the party night, and Robinson had left Lisa the week before. Certainly he thinks about how things might have been different had he not gone back.
"I was thrown into the center of a situation I felt I had no control over," he says.
When he went to juvenile court in February 2003, Robinson was expecting something less than the 90 days offered by Commonwealth's Attorney Jim Camblos.
Instead, Judge Dwight Johnson sentenced the pair to six months for each of 16 counts.
"He said on each count, to be served consecutively," says Robinson. "I've been around long enough to know consecutive isn't the same as concurrently."
"This was beyond our expectation," says Wren. "We were going to challenge the search, then accept responsibility. The worst-case sentence was one that met the Commonwealth's recommendation. Instead, the court gave 16 years with eight suspended. He gave the maximum sentence possible."
Robinson remembers the judge saying the party was held one month to the day after one of Ryan's Albemarle High classmates, Brittany Hope Bishop, had died in an alcohol-related accident.
"I don't know if he'd reached his boiling point with underage drinking," says Robinson. "We really thought the court would follow Mr. Camblos' recommendation– 90 days."
The couple got an automatic appeal to Albemarle Circuit Court, and there September 3, 2003, Judge Paul Peatross reduced their sentence– to 27 months, a sentence still unheard of in these parts.
Peatross was unmoved by their remorse, and their intentions to keep the kids safe by taking away the keys.
And Camblos accused the Robinsons of lying to other parents about whether alcohol would be served and then trying to cover up the drinking by swilling vinegar– allegations the couple have denied.
Thus began nearly four years of appeals, until the U.S. Supreme Court recently refused to hear their case.
One of the things that bother Robinson and Wren is that Marc Kenty, Kelly's ex- and Ryan's father, served just 30 days in jail on three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for icing down the beer– Lisa Kelly spent $340 in Kroger buying beer and designer drinks- and delivering it.
"If you look at preparation for the party, he had a lot more to do with it than I did," says Robinson.
"It doesn't make sense to me," says Wren about Kenty's sentence. "It sends a confusing message." He mulls the difference of Robinson initially getting 15 years and 11 months more than Kenty, who iced and delivered the alcohol for his own son's party.
And Wren contends there are other issues in the case besides underage drinking. "I think the way the search was conducted was legally impermissible," he says. He believes the Robinsons' backyard, where the teens were drinking, was curtilage, the legal name for the area around a house that the Supreme Court has said has the same protection against unreasonable searches as the inside of the house.
When Albemarle police's then-Corporal Scott Cox came to investigate, he headed toward the backyard rather than the front door. He spotted teens holding what appeared to be alcoholic beverages, and when they saw him, they shouted, "Cops," and fled, according to court testimony.
"He was expecting them to scatter and run like cockroaches," says Wren. That creates exigent circumstances– evidence may be lost so immediate action must be taken– and probable cause.
"You can't do that," says Wren. "The concern here is this gives license to officers to invade what were once Constitutionally protected areas."
Three justices on Virginia's Court of Appeals agreed with him and found the search unconstitutional– but that was not enough to sway to the majority, or the Virginia and U.S. Supreme courts.
"It would be easy to lash out," says Wren, "but it wouldn't do any good."
Since the night of the party, the Robinsons divorced, a contentious battle that went to the Virginia Supreme Court as well.
Wearing knight's armor, Robinson got married again October 16, 2004. Two days later, the Bleak House Road residence he and Kelly had owned in Earlysville, the site of the party, burned to the ground.
"I've basically begun a new life," says Robinson. "I've remarried, I have a 19-month-old daughter who's the apple of my eye, a beautiful new wife who's stood by me in all this."
He's skeptical about how his jail sentence will impact underage drinking. "Me going to jail for 27 months may very well affect the parents of teenagers," he says. "They will think long and hard about their involvement in a party like this one." But as for teens themselves, he compares the effects of his sentence to Prohibition– he doesn't think it will help reduce teen drinking.
Any advice to the parents of teens who want to drink? "If there were an easy answer to that today, there would have been one five years ago," he replies.
"I don't want to sound like I'm trying to garner sympathy, but I'm regretful," he admits.
George Robinson says getting ready for jail is the same as if traveling on a long trip– only without having to pack.
And on the eve of reporting to jail, he says, "I'm regretful for what it's done to my wife, my family and friends who've stood by me."

its nearing the time for the people to stand up to these dark age laws and lords and all those that worship them and send these satanic tyrants to where they would send these parents.
A sure sign your country is beyond redemption and reasonable thought. The princples that the United States were founded on have sadly foundered and all sense of perspective lost. Release this man and his wife now. Or maybe invade Iran instead.

RELIGST 261A: Belief (in a post-Christian Age)
The post-Chritain (or post-modern) age has given rise to new forms of faith, ranging from secular humanism and cultural atheism to rediscovery of the transcendent in the cosmos and quantum mechanics. However, unlike the era of "Christendom," belief is no longer necessarily hinged to faith. This course explores the origins of this phenomenon in Thomas Aquinas, and then newer philosophical approaches to understanding belief, ranging from Charles Taylor and Talal Asad and their theories of the secular, to Catherine Bell and the role of practice in believing. Finally, we turn to the work of three contemporary theorists of religious belief: Gianni Vattimo, Jean-Luc Marion, and Richard Kearney, who endeavor to cast believing outside established theological categories, yet still speak of "god."

RELIGST 274: From Kant to Kierkegaard (RELIGST 374)
(Graduate students register for 374. Undergrads register for 274 for 5 units.) The philosophy of religion emerged from the European Enlightenment as a new genre of reflection on religion distinct from both dogmatic theology and rationalist dreams of a "natural" religion of reason. Neither beholden to pre-critical tradition, nor dismissive of what Thomas Nagel has termed "the religious attitude," this new, ostensibly secular, genre of religious thought sought to rethink the meaning of Christianity at a time of immense philosophical ferment. The main currents of religious thought in Germany from Kant's critical philosophy to Kierkegaard's revolt against Hegelianism. Emphasis on the theories of religion, the epistemological status of religious discourse, the role of history (especially the figure of Jesus), and the problem of alienation/reconciliation in seminal modern thinkers: Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel, and Kierkegaard.

394 Burgers and Tapas Lounge
We are a new Latin fusion lounge offering a simple, sexy and inviting atmosphere for people who want to experience food and cocktails from all parts of the Latin world including Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, as well as many others.
We'll be serving burgers, tapas from around the Latin world, and martinis, as well as Sunday brunch. The atmosphere will be a great place to eat, drink and talk, but also have a sexy night life with dancing and live music.
Ages 21 - 40, but certainly not ruling out the older crowd. This place is located in a small Southern California beach town of about 106,000 people.
The culture is very diverse for how small the town is. A very eclectic mix of upper class, middle class, and very artistic and fun loving people looking for affordable, unique and entertaining experiences.
The town also gets a consistent amount of tourism from all over the world, including many food critics and celebrities.
We are not going for too high end - but subtle, soft, sexy, and classy. A place where people can sit and talk - but also a nice place to bring a date and enjoy some live music and dancing.
It needs to appear high quality, but affordable.
Definitely not a club - but not fine dining either. A Latin fusion lounge.
We have some existing assets to help you get started. There is a font attached - along with vector art to help you get started. Using this font, or a very similar style, brush type script is a requirement.
We are looking for something sexy and classy.
Deep red, crimson (for the type)
Accents of Gold, and black
We need something to go along with the type style. Being that it's a latin fusion lounge, I can see a subtle line drawing of a man and woman salsa dancing. A martini glass would be too cliche... but we are open to a creative twist on this. Your creative freedom is encouraged in this area. Something worked into the typography might be interesting too.
References: We like the style of these places
Final Art:
The final art should be provided in vector format to be scalable in any size. We'd like to see it presented in a few different formats with different background colors. All fonts used should also be included.
Consider mocking up what it might look like on a back lit sign. I am envisioning the type in a deep red, with a golden glow around the edges
The chosen designer will most likely be called upon for future projects. We'll be doing menus, a website, promo items, and ads.

Arnold Wesker is the English playwright whose naturalistic dramas about working-class life were a major force in 1950s and 1960s theatre. He and others of the kind were often referred to as the kitchen sink school, particularly apt for Wesker who worked in kitchens in his early life and whose best plays include "The Kitchen," "Chicken Soup with Barley," and "Chips with Everything." But the Times obituary tells it all well.
Arnold Wesker, Who Wrote British Dramas of the Working Class, Dies at 83
By SEWELL CHAN
LONDON — Arnold Wesker, a British playwright who came to prominence in the 1950s with stark dramas about working-class life, many of them influenced by his childhood in a leftist Jewish family in East London, died on Tuesday in Brighton, England. He was 83. His son Lindsay confirmed the death, at a hospital. Mr. Wesker had Parkinson's disease.
He was catapulted to critical attention when, still in his 20s, he wrote a trilogy of plays drawing on his upbringing among working-class British Jews with socialist politics: "Chicken Soup With Barley" (1956), "Roots" (1958) and "I'm Talking About Jerusalem" (1960). "Although Mr. Wesker belongs to what has been called Britain's angry young men, he does not rage in disgust," Harold Taubman wrote in The New York Times in 1961 in a review of the New York premiere of "Roots," in which the Jewish protagonist lands in a hardscrabble farming community in Norfolk, England. "In 'Roots,' he seeks to tell the truth, to laugh at it understandingly, if harshly, and to imply a vision and a hope."
The term "angry young men" was applied to a generation of British and Irish writers from working- or middle-class backgrounds, though it was not a label Mr. Wesker embraced. John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, John Arden, John Braine, Keith Waterhouse, Brendan Behan and Harold Pinter were among the others. "Wesker's emergence was due in part to the radical temper of the postwar British theater," Alfred Kazin wrote in The New York Times Book Review in 1975, "but above all to the fact that he handled abrasive subjects — Jewish Communists, high-pitched emotions inside the Jewish family — with a notable lovingness, tact and respect for the working-class mores in general."
Mr. Wesker wrote more than 40 plays. Among those that opened in New York, sometimes years after their British premieres, were "Chips With Everything" (originally produced in 1962), about Royal Air Force cadet training, a work that drew on his own experience in the R.A.F.; "The Kitchen" (1957), his first play, which features an exceptionally large cast of 29; "The Four Seasons" (1965), a symbolic drama involving a man and a woman in their 30s who have experienced love and rejection; "The Old Ones" (1970), about three aging siblings, originally set in East London but moved, for an American audience in 1974, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan; "The Merchant" (1976), a reimagining of Shakespeare's Shylock; "Annie Wobbler" (1982), a trio of one-act plays about women and the English social structure; and two one-act dramas, "Yard Sale" (1982) and "Whatever Happened to Betty Lemon?" (1986).
Mr. Wesker fell out of fashion for a time, but in recent years he saw many of his works revived — a reflection, perhaps, of anxious and angry times. "His working-class characters and his outsider status changed who theater was for, and enabled a new generation of audience, actors and playwrights to feel they had a right to belong," Vicky Featherstone, the artistic director at the Royal Court Theater, which has staged a number of his plays, said on Wednesday.
Mr. Wesker was also an accomplished author and fiction writer, publishing four collections of short stories. His 1999 book "The Birth of Shylock and the Death of Zero Mostel" chronicled the mishaps that followed his effort to reimagine Shylock, the Jewish villain of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice," after watching a performance by Laurence Olivier in 1973. Mostel was cast in the title role for a Broadway production of Mr. Wesker's play, but proved difficult during rehearsals, and he died shortly after the first preview, in Philadelphia.
Mr. Wesker was a steadfast defender of free speech. In 2004, when performances of a play by a British Sikh writer were canceled because of violent protests, he argued that offending others was "an inescapable hazard of living and must be considered a sign of intellect and emotional maturity when accepted."
Born on May 24, 1932, Mr. Wesker grew up in East London and never attended college. As he built his writing career he took a variety of jobs, including bookseller's assistant, farm laborer, kitchen porter and pastry chef, which inspired his first play, "The Kitchen" (1957). He served in the Royal Air Force from 1950 to 1952.
Mr. Wesker is survived by his wife, Doreen, known as Dusty; their sons, Lindsay and Daniel; and a daughter, Elsa Hastad, from another relationship. Another daughter, Tanya Wesker, died in 2012.
Mr. Wesker was knighted in 2006 for his contributions to the theater.
In an Op-Ed essay he wrote for The New York Times in 1970, he described his "love-hate relationship" with the United States. "The society depresses me, its sons fill me with admiration," he wrote. "I don't know how to look straight at the country." Describing the reception of his work by American audiences, Mr. Wesker wrote, "I want an audience to suspend its own prejudiced intelligence in order to concentrate solely on what I am trying to communicate." He added, "Therein lies the true democratic nature of art, and, also, in the fact that a single creative work is one man's act of reverence for all men."

I am glad that you had the opportunity to appreciate his plays. I must admit that unfortunately I have never heard of him.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Grundfos' factory in Fresno in sunny California recently installed solar panels – which practically make the factory independent of other energy sources.
They may call it the world's largest pump factory heated by the sun. In this way the Grundfos factory demonstrates extraordinary leadership in the fight against global heating.
"The change to solar power demonstrates Grundfos' willingness to focus on sustainable development. Of course it is good for the local environment and in addition we hope we are setting a good example," said Bill May, Gen. Man. of GMU.

Genius of Love by the Tom Tom Club set the vivacious tone for the Nanette Lepore Spring/Summer 2014 Collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Nanette Lapore partnered up with TRESemme to create fun, yet fashionable hair for this year's show. The new Spring/Summer 2014 Collection exuded effortless, yet chic style in a multitude of eclectic fabrics ranging from extremes of natural sheer fabrics to deep, scarlet.
The runways of Nanette Lepore showcased muted stripes, high necklines, and flowy fabrics, creating allure on the runway. Jumpsuits and vibrant colors like teal and chartreuse, kept it young and fresh. Other trending pieces for this spring and summer included cropped collared shirts creating a preppy yet, flirty look paired with and loose-fitting Bermuda shorts. Floral prints in jewel tones added to the glamour of this springs look, while bright, leather messenger bags and totes in an assortment of sizes added appeal to the runway. Free form, open fitted jackets added the "layered look" to sheer dresses, while coral, aqua, and white wedges graced the runway. To coordinate with the many red ensembles, orange-red lipstick was a common staple paired with wispy, free-flowing hair.
Nanette Lepore is commonly found in department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus, but is also prevalent in boutiques from Madison to Melrose. Nanette Lepore is a designer who is constantly evolving, but finds the balance of not being ultra feminine or too fierce with her designs, which attracts many buyers and most often, the "conventional shopper".
Nanette Lepore is not only a well-known designer from Ohio, but is an advocate that raises awareness for clothing being made in the United States. Lepore whole-heartedly supports clothing production and manufacturing at the New York City Garment Center.
See you next season, at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, to see what's in store for Nanette Lepore's Fall/Winter Collection. For more on Nanette Lepore visit the Nanette Lepore Website.

March 23, 2009 - Although some might not like to admit it, one of the first things that shapes your opinion of a game is the way it looks. Graphics are very important in a title, especially in this generation, and games like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Killzone 2 gained initial attention because of the way they looked. Although The King of Fighters series has never had a reputation for being visually-intensive, the twelfth entry in the series is looking to change all that with something rarely seen in modern day graphics: 100% hand-drawn visuals.
I can't even remember any other title that could make such a bold claim, but the fact that The King of Fighters XII has been in development for the past three years definitely lends some credence to this assertion. Although it looks like some of the animation and character modeling is done using a computer, the pixel art you see onscreen is done by hand, which is an impressive feat indeed. Although, if you are not a fan of the old-school look per se, King of Fighters XII will have an anti-aliasing option to help smooth out the pixels.
Although the visuals are certainly what is drawing a lot of attention to this title, the gameplay is definitely going to be a big part as well. For those experienced with The King of Fighters series, the same type of 2D brawling will again be the basis of this new iteration, with an emphasis on classic 3-on-3 team-based combat. However, there are a few notable differences to this tried-and-true formula. One major difference is the Tactical Shift System from The King of Fighters 2003 has been removed and replaced with a "critical counter" system.
This counter system is a lot simpler to use than the Tactical Shift system, and it will allow players to enter a special counter mode after successfully landing a counterattack. This counter mode will permit the character to land a number of attacks with increased speed that can be chained together for a short period of time after the mode has been enacted. Once the critical counter mode is getting ready to end, there will be an onscreen signal, which will give your character the opportunity to unleash a combo-finishing special attack. In addition to these special attacks, there will also be new power moves for each character that have been re-imagined especially for The King of Fighters XII.
Both the battle system and the visuals seem to be getting a huge facelift for The King of Fighters XII, but one thing that fans will definitely appreciate is the character roster. Although there will only be 20 playable characters in this entry in the series (there were more than 40 in The King of Fighters 11), all of the characters that are included are series favorites. Fighters like Ash Crimson, Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, and Benimaru Nikaido will all be back for The King of Fighters XII, and each will be presented the way you remember them from previous The King of Fighters games. The only notable exception is the inclusion of Raiden from SNK's Fatal Fury series, who is making his debut in The King of Fighters XII.
The characters may be back for this game, but it is important to point out that The King of Fighters XII will not be continuing any of the story arcs from previous The King of Fighters series. Fans who are expecting a resolution to the Ash story arc presented in other The King of Fighters games will have to wait for a direct follow-up to that particular entry to be announced. Instead, it looks like The King of Fighters will go the way of most other combat-focused games and drop the plot in favor of rigorous combat and unaffected team creation.
Although it has been four years since The King of Fighters XI, it looks like the time off has done it some serious good. The part of this title I am sure most people are looking forward to is its hand-drawn visuals, but the new elements of the combat system will draw in new and old fans as well. At this point, it seems the only thing we don't know about The King of Fighters XII is what the online modes (if there are any) will entail. But, it seems this title is definitely trying to become one of the most graphically impressive of the year, and it will certainly be interesting to see how it all turns out when The King of Fighters XII is released this summer.

My official excuse for watching "The Bachelor" is that we professionals must keep tabs on what the masses are watching, but just between us, it's become a guilty pleasure.
Monday's finale promises to be a doozy after last night's "The "Women Tell All" special. After all, that setup formula is the main reason why this franchise has managed to find its footing again after being left for dead.
"The Bachelor" is alive, well and eating its own.
U.S. & World
Bringing all the dismissed contestants to discuss why they looked so stupid on camera all season was mesmerizing. Booted beauty Rozlyn Papa was the highlight as she defiantly denied she had an affair with the show's producer, a firing offense for both parties on a show where only The Chosen One gets to pick from the herd.
Papa didn't just deny, she went after host Chris Harrison, who clearly prides himself on his stand-up guy aura. She accused him of hitting on the producer's wife while on a trip to New Zealand. Harrison coolly said he wouldn't dignify the charge with a response, but you have to hand it to the show's producers for letting us cringe along on our couches.
This might have been the season's unofficial climax, but there's still more "Bachelor" viewing with the finale on Monday. I'll be watching.

"November Ever After" takes you there. This memoir goes beyond the night of the tragedy. It provides an intimate look at those who were left behind -- the real story as told by the folks who were actually there. Feel free to contact the author at firstname.lastname@example.com
