Ringolsby likes Rockies' decision to keep Weiss
It's the time of year for managerial changes, but in a world where chopping and changing seems to be the default decision, MLB.com's Tracy Ringolsby hails the Rockies for sticking with manager Walt Weiss. In a post to his Write 'em Cowboy MLB Pro Blog, the Hall of Fame Spink Award winner credits the team with not making a knee-jerk reaction and parting ways with Weiss following a difficult season.

Marilynne Summers Robinson (born November 26, 1943) is an American novelist and essayist. She has received several awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2005 and the 2012 National Humanities Medal.[1]
Robinson (née Summers) was born and grew up in Sandpoint, Idaho, and did her undergraduate work at Pembroke College, the former women's college at Brown University, receiving her B.A., magna cum laude in 1966, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She received her Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington in 1977.[2][3]
Robinson has written four highly acclaimed novels: Housekeeping (1980), Gilead (2004), Home (2008), and Lila (2014). Housekeeping was a finalist for the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (US), Gilead was awarded the 2005 Pulitzer, and Home received the 2009 Orange Prize for Fiction (UK). Home is a companion to Gilead and focuses on the Boughton family during the same time period.[4][5]
She is also the author of non-fiction works including Mother Country: Britain, the Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution (1989), The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought (1998), Absence of Mind: The Dispelling of Inwardness from the Modern Myth of the Self (2010), and When I Was a Child I Read Books: Essays (2012). She has written articles, essays and reviews for Harper's, The Paris Review and The New York Times Book Review.
She has been writer-in-residence or visiting professor at many universities, including the University of Kent, Amherst, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst' MFA Program for Poets and Writers. In 2009, she held a Dwight H. Terry Lectureship at Yale University, giving a series of talks titled Absence of Mind: The Dispelling of Inwardness from the Modern Myth of the Self. On April 19, 2010, she was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[6] In May 2011, Robinson delivered Oxford University's annual Esmond Harmsworth Lecture in American Arts and Letters at the university's Rothermere American Institute. She currently teaches at the Iowa Writers' Workshop and lives in Iowa City. She was the keynote speaker for the Workshop's 75th anniversary celebration in June 2011. In 2012, Brown University awarded Robinson the degree of Doctor of Literature, honoris causa. On February 18, 2013, she was the speaker at the Easter Convocation of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Literature, honoris causa. Holy Cross College, Notre Dame, Amherst College, Skidmore College and Oxford University have also awarded Robinson honorary degrees. She has been elected a fellow of Mansfield College, Oxford University.
Robinson was raised as a Presbyterian and later became a Congregationalist, worshipping and sometimes preaching at the Congregational United Church of Christ in Iowa City.[7][8] Her Congregationalism, and her interest in the ideas of John Calvin, have been important in her works, including Gilead, which centers on the life and theological concerns of a fictional Congregationalist minister.[9] In an interview with the Church Times in 2012, Robinson said: "I think, if people actually read Calvin, rather than read Max Weber, he would be rebranded. He is a very respectable thinker."[10]
The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has described Robinson as "one of the world's most compelling English-speaking novelists", and said: "Robinson's is a voice we urgently need to attend to in both Church and society here [in the UK]."[11] On January 24, 2013, Robinson was announced to be among the finalists for the 2013 Man Booker International Prize.[12]
On June 26, 2015, President Barack Obama quoted Robinson in his eulogy for the Reverend Clementa C. Pinckney of Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. In speaking about "an open heart," President Obama said: "[w]hat a friend of mine, the writer Marilynne Robinson, calls 'that reservoir of goodness, beyond, and of another kind, that we are able to do each other in the ordinary cause of things.'" [13]

Editorial: Two new gun laws may make state a safer place
Among the 800 new state laws the California Legislature passed and Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law, two are worthy of special mention for their potential to prevent or limit gun-related tragedies.

Im here to say that this movie will be good . And I think I should play Freddie mercury. Now you ask yourself why me . Well I look a lot like Freddie . If you do not believe me . Look me up on facebook and see for yourselfs . Have a nice day. Darlings
Peter Morgan talks about Freddie Mercury film
CommentsAdd +
The hot-shot screenwriter talks about working with surviving Queen members and Sacha Baron Cohen playing Mercury
'That's where my head is now,' Morgan told an audience at Bafta during a talk as part of the Bafta and BFI Screenwriters' Lecture Series. 'I'm meeting rock Gods, and I love it.'
Morgan says that it's been tricky dealing with Queen's surviving members, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. 'Queen are sensitive because it will show rancour and disagreements in the collaborative process. In a way, the film, for me, reflects my own experience of filmmaking as a collaborative process. Just as a film is never the result of one person, so the band doesn't like the idea of Queen being "A Band by Freddie Mercury" – and they're right. It won't just be about Freddie Mercury.'
Morgan also stressed that although Baron Cohen is played the lead, no one should expect an out-and-out comedy. 'They've hired me, so they're not expecting gags. This is a drama.'
Asked whether he had read Tony Blair's autobiography to compare notes with his scripts for 'The Queen' and 'The Deal', the 47-year-old writer said he was too busy reading and thinking about Mercury.
'I will read it at some point – but at the moment my head's full of books about Farrokh Bulsara' – Mercury's real name.
Morgan said that at first he didn't think the film was a good idea when it was suggested to him. Baron Cohen is 38, so he didn't feel he could write about Mercury's younger years, and Mercury died in 1991 at 45, which didn't leave him many years to investigate.
'I didn't want to write about a man dying from Aids. Luckily, when I looked into Mercury's life, I found a good story in that window.' Morgan didn't specify, but other reports have suggested that the film will focus on the run-up to Queen's performance at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985.

Freddie is the saint. I WANT TO PLAY HIS ROLE IN THE NEXT MOVIE. FULL STOP AND ...SHOW MUST GO ON...
I would humbly suggest this name for playing the role of F Mercury. He's the little arguable reincarnation of F Mercury, Tuscan origin, since recently living in London. He's quite young, admirable voice, all of Mercury he is. I can testimony. This is genuine comment - no personal interest. His coordinates: firstname.lastname@example.com +44 7593 372876
There is a guy, his name is Pablo Padin he and a group of friend have a tribute to Queen band called " God Saves de Queen" he looks SO MUCH like Freddie, the only " problem" would be his accent, he is Argentinian and while you can't really notice his accent while he sings I guees you would when he talks (in the movie) . You should check him out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_yzRk1uW3I
I did some research for a while & found someone that looks exactly like Freddie Mercury that also sings just like him as well. He is 40 but he can pass as younger for the role. He knows alot about Freddie by his passion for the man & his lifestyle.. His name is Thomas Krane from Australia's Got Talent. Look it up on youtube & you will see what I mean. In my opinion, after seeing all who could be casted as "The Queen". I truly believe this is the guy for the role! I could see a great outstanding role & performance by this man.
We need to see Mercury on screen.His personality,humor,intelekt,his life as a performer and as a man.
I would like too see the pop artist mika play Freddie I feel he would do the role justice.
i think it's very important you tell the story as truthfully as possible, warts and all. I, myself would had loved to meet him, but he's gone and I'm still here. So I would like to see him in film as best as possible and like I said warts and all.
Please remain true to Freddie's nature. He was a fun loving kind hearted generous man. Don't portray him as an idiot and a trouble maker. PLEASE!

Healthy Recipes for Cinco de Mayo
Talavera Cocina Mexicana
Talavera Cocina Mexicana
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Cinco de Mayo may not be the real Mexican Independence Day, but people sure do celebrate like it is. And whenever there's a holiday involving lots of booze, there's also bound to be lots of food to soak it up afterward.
It's unlikely that anyone who's had a good time will really care how many calories or grams of fat are in that mountain-high pile of nachos, chilaquiles, or taquitos, but before all the revelry starts, it can pay to do a little planning. Why? Because alcohol contains more calories by weight than carbs or protein do (seven calories versus four per gram, to be exact).
So, cutting back a bit on the greasy party food is almost a must if you're planning on keeping the pounds off. Luckily, you won't find any greasy party food here. We've rounded up some great recipes from cookbook authors, chefs, and bloggers to lighten the calorie-bomb that is Cinco de Mayo and keep you soaring. How does that saying go? "Arriba! Siempre arriba!" Oh wait, that's from Peru.

Fuels standard waiver sought
Texas group suffers amid low corn yields
The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association has called on the Environmental Protection Agency to waive the Renewable Fuels Standard amid corn shortages and soaring feed costs across the U.S.
According to TSCRA, the government mandates that 40 percent of the U.S. annual corn crop go directly toward ethanol production; however, federal law does allow the EPA administrator to waive this requirement for up to one year if the implementation would severely harm the economy or environment of a state, a region or the U.S.
"As record drought conditions throughout the U.S. continue to push corn yields lower and prices upward, the economic ramifications for consumers, livestock and animal agriculture producers will become even more severe," said Joe Parker Jr., rancher and TSCRA president, in comments submitted to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. "These ramifications are particularly severe in Texas, the leading cattle producing state in the nation."
Parker said that last year was the first year ever that ethanol production used more corn than all animal agriculture.
With corn supplies tightening across the U.S., the current RFS standard is compounding the situation by reducing the limited amount of corn available for feed.
TSCRA submitted these comments to the EPA after the association passed policy during its fall meeting reaffirming the group's opposition to federal and state subsidies. The group also opposes production mandates for renewable fuels that use feed grains/ and or other feed stuffs used for cattle production.
"Ranchers understand well-intentioned efforts to move our nation toward energy independence, but those efforts should not consist of government mandates that artificially give one commodity priority at the expense of another," Parker said. "The cattle industry supports a free market system, and although a full repeal of the RFS standard in today's political climate may not be possible, we are hopeful that the EPA will help alleviate the current corn crisis by taking the government mandates out of the equation and put corn back on the same playing field as cattle producers."
TSCRA is a 135-year-old trade association and is the largest and oldest livestock organization based in Texas.
TSCRA has more than 15,000 beef cattle operations, ranching families and businesses as members. These members represent approximately 50,000 individuals directly involved in ranching and beef production who manage 4 million head of cattle on 76 million acres of range and pastureland primarily in Texas and Oklahoma, but throughout the Southwest.

The storage industry as a whole has been slow to adapt to changes in the ways consumers research, analyze and reserve storage units. Nearly five years ago, when we first entered the self-storage industry, many owners/operators did not know what Search Engine Optimization, pay-per-click, Facebook, Twitter or blogging was. Now SEO and PPC are well known acronyms, and social media and blogging are the norm. The Internet and social media explosion was slowly integrated into the industry, and now more and more owners are taking advantage of the ease and effectiveness of online marketing tactics.

Do fans want the prime timeline back?

Re: Do fans want the prime timeline back?
But isn't that the point of a reboot, to have a different take on a character? Reboots never pretend that their characters are the same as ones they are adapting off, that's why they're reboots. Adaptations. They can pick and choose.
I understand being irritated if they were supposed to be the same characters but failed to be so. For example, if Leonard Nimoy's Spock in the reboot movies is drastically different from his portrayal before this. Or another example, if they made an actual prequel to TOS instead of a reboot and wanted to make sure that these are the same characters that will grow into William Shatner and company. In that case, there may be reason for being annoyed if characters feel utterly different from before.
Reboots allow a new take on a character while keeping certain recognizable elements. Maybe that's what you'd call a cartoon, where new Spock is just enough Spock that you'd know he's Spock, but different enough that he's not really Spock (Prime). I wouldn't have it any other way, since it
suppose to be a new take on the characters.

Eliminate lint.
While line drying does lengthen the life of your clothes by not sucking bits of them into the lint trap, it doesn't remove loose lint and pet hair (a big deal in our multi-pet household). You can toss any line dried but "furry" items into the dryer set on air fluff, with an all-natural dryer sheet, to loosen and remove offending fibers. I don't have a dryer anymore (it gave up the ghost last year, and not replacing it was part of my 2008 carbon footprint reduction effort), but I do have a secret weapon: A damp hand rubbed firmly over the surface of hairy or linty items picks up the offending fibers better than any lint or pet hair remover I've ever tried.
Extend the drying season.
Drying laundry indoors can be an option, though in humid weather it will take a long time, boost indoor humidity levels, make your AC work harder, and perhaps exacerbate any mildew problems. In dry climates and in the heating season when indoor air tends to be too dry anyway, drying lines or wooden racks in the house are a great option. I have wash lines in my basement for winter use, and I use a box fan to move air gently through the drying laundry to speed up the process. In spring and fall, you can hang wash outside on cold days; try wearing rubber dishwashing gloves (or a larger size of rubber gloves over a thin pair of winter gloves) to keep your hands warm while handling the wet items.

Consumer Behavior
CH 13 Exam 5 Social Class Social class hierarchy- the grouping of members of society according to status high to low Overprivileged-families with an income higher than the average in their social class Class average-families with an average income in a particular class Underprivileged-families below the average income in their class Trickle-down effect-trends that start in the upper classes and then are copied by lower classes Status float-trends that start in the lower and middle classes and move upward (blue jeans, tattoos) Inherited status-status that derives from parents at birth Earned status-status acquired later in life through achievements Computerized Status Index (CSI)-a modern index used to determine social class through education, occupation, residence and income Status crystallization-when consumers are consistent across indicators of social class income, education, occupation, etc. How social class changes over time Upward mobility-raising one?s status level (usually by educational or occupational achievement) Downward mobility-moving to a lower class (jobs moving overseas, lowered wages or were laid off Status panic-the inability of children to reach their parents? level of social status Social class fragmentation-the disappearance of class distinctions Upward and downward mobility Availability of mass media (incorporate different cultures into your own) Advances in communication technology How does social class affect consumption? Conspicuous consumption and status symbols Conspicuous consumption-the acquisition and display of goods and services to show off one?s status Terror management theory- materialism helps relieve consumers? anxiety over the evitability of death Conspicuous waste- visibly buying products and services that one never uses Status symbols-products or services that tell others about someone?s social class standing Parody display-status symbols that start in the lower social class and move upward Fraudulent symbols-symbols that become so widely adopted that they lose their status Compensatory consumption-the consumer behavior of buying products or services to offset frustrations or difficulties in life Meaning of money Money-medium or exchange or a standard of payment Consumption patters of specific social classes Upper class-the aristocracy, new social elite, and upper middle class More likely to research their purchases and to use product characteristics, not price as an indicator of quality Middle class- primarily white-collar workers Working class-primarily blue-collar workers Depend heavily on family members for economic and social support in many areas including job opportunities and advice for key purchases and help during difficult times More likely to spend than save Judge product quality on the price Have less product info when purchasing Homeless-people at the low end of the status hierarchy Scavenging-finding used or partially used goods that others have discarded How the household influences consumer behavior Family-defined as a group of individuals living together who are related by marriage, blood, or adoption Nuclear family-father, mother and children Extended family-the nuclear plus relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins Household-a single person living alone or a group of individuals who live together in a common dwelling, regardless of whether they are related Family life cycle-different stages of family life, depending on the age of parents and how many children are living at home Five factors are altering the basic structure and characteristics of households Delayed marriage Cohabitation-unmarried people/couples living together Dual careers Those in which the woman seeks career advancement and personal fulfillment Those in which the woman works out of financial necessity and considers her employment ?just a job? Role overload-less time for cooking, housekeeping, shopping Divorce 4 in 10 marriages will end in divorce Disposing of old possessions, forming a new household, and creating new patterns of consumption Smaller families Boomers and Xer couples are having fewer children because of dual careers, financial burdens and concern for overpopulation Childless married couples have the most discretionary income Roles that household members play Household decision roles-roles that different members play in a household decision Gatekeeper-collect and control info Influencer-try to express their opinions Decider-actually determine which product will be chosen Buyer-physically acquires the product User-consume the product Instrumental roles-roles that relate to tasks affecting the buying decision Expressive roles-roles that involve an indication of family norms Conflict can often occur in fulfilling different household roles based on: The reasons for buying Who should make the decision Which option to choose Who gets to use the product or service The roles of spouses: Husband dominant decision-decision made primarily by the male head of household Wife dominant decision-decision made primarily by the female head of household Autonomic decision-decision equally likely to be made by the husband or the wife, but not both Syncratic decision-decision made jointly by the husband and wife Bargaining-a fair exchange of preferences Concession-giving in some points to get what one wants in other areas The roles of children The type of household determines the nature of the children?s influence: Authoritarian households stress obedience Neglectful households exert little control Democratic households encourage self expression Permissive households remove constraints Summary Individuals in a society can be grouped into status levels (upper, middle, and lower), making up a social class hierarchy. Class distinctions are significant because members of a particular class share common life experiences and therefore also share values and consumer behavior patterns, although many variations occur within groups. Individuals are most likely to be influenced by members of their own class because they regularly interact with them. Still, influence can cross class lines through the trickle- down effect (when lower classes copy upper- class values and behavior) or the status float effect (when trends start in the lower classes and spread upward). A variety of factors determine social class, the most critical of which are occupation and education. Re-searchers use a battery of items, such as the Computer-sized Status Index, to measure social class. Three major trends producing an evolution in social class structure are upward mobility, downward mobility, and social class fragmentation. Social class influences consumer behavior in three major ways: (1) through conspicuous consumption, the acquisition and display of status symbol offerings to demonstrate social standing; (2) through compensatory consumption, trying to off-set some deficiency by engaging in greater than usual consumption; and (3) through the meaning of money. Households include both families and unrelated people living together as well as singles. The proportion of nontraditional households has increased because of factors such as (1) later marriages, (2) cohabitation, (3) dual- career families, (4) divorce, and (5) smaller families. Households exert considerable influence on acquisition and consumption patterns. Members can Play different roles in the decision process (gatekeeper, influencer, decider, buyer, and user). Also, husbands and wives vary in their influence in the decision process, depending on whether the situation is husband dominant, wife dominant, autonomic, or syncratic. Children can influence the decision process by making requests of parents. The nature of this influence partly depends on whether the household is authoritarian, neglectful, democratic, or permissive. In general, the older the child, the greater the influence.

Although Devon is a beautiful part of England, the prime reasons for coming here was to spend time at the beach. Unfortunately, we do not have any power over the weather, and it chose to be very dull and at times cold.

Norns (comics)
|Publication information
|Marvel Comics
|First appearance
|Journey into Mystery #102 (March 1964)
|Created by
|Stan Lee
Jack Kirby
|Notable members
The Norns are fictional characters appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as supporting characters in books featuring the Norse thunder god Thor. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby based on the Norns of Norse mythology, they first appeared in Journey into Mystery #102 (March 1964).
Publication history[edit]
The Norns first appeared in Journey into Mystery #102 (March 1964) and were adapted from mythology by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
The characters subsequently appear in Thor #197 (March 1972), #200-201 (June–July 1972), Defenders #66 (December 1978), Bizarre Adventures #32 (August 1982), Thor Annual #11 (1983), Thor #346-348 (August–October 1984), Marvel Graphic Novel: The Raven Banner (1985), New Mutants Special Edition #1 (1985), Thor #374 (December 1986), Ultimate Silver Surfer (November 1995), Cable #79 (May 2000), #81 (July 2000), #83 (September 2000), Thor #85 (December 2004), and Thor: Son of Asgard #10 (November 10, 2004). Their most recent appearance was in Dark Wolverine's "Godlike" storyline in issues #82-#84 (April - June 2010).
Fictional group history[edit]
The three Norns (Urd, Skuld, and Verandi) oversee the destinies of the Asgardians. Balder,[1] Thor,[2] Valkyrie[3] and others have consulted the Norns' wisdom. Thor once consulted them to learn how he could wield Mjolnir. He learns he would first have to face 'Death'. It is revealed this meant the Death-goddess Hela. When Thor offers himself to her in place of Sif, she is so taken by his nobility she cannot bear to kill him and lets both go.[2] During the Siege of Asgard, the Norns confront Daken of the Dark Avengers, wanting him to bring about Ragnarok.[4]
The Norns may be the same three beings as the Fates of the Olympian Gods. The Fates first appeared in Tales to Astonish #33 (July 1962). Thor actually calls them the Fates once.[2]

Canonical Reveals Unity Desktop and Ubuntu Light
Two big surprised at the Ubuntu Summit in Belgium.
Canonical gave a first glimpse at Unity, a desktop environment designed with netbooks and touch-based devices in mind, and Ubuntu Light, a fast-booting version of Ubuntu. Unity includes a revised panel and application launcher which makes it easier to access most-used applications.
Alongside Unity, Ubuntu announced Ubuntu Light, a 10-second boot implementation of the popular Linux distro that gives users an 'instant-web' experience.
Ubuntu Light comes equipped with chat, media player, Web browser, photo-viewing and IM applications. The operating system is intended to be part of a dual-boot system for commercial PCs, but can run fine on its own.
Unity and Ubuntu Light complement each other in that both the desktop environment and operating system offer simplified, but functional versions of the traditional Ubuntu environment.
Ubuntu Light is available to PC OEMs by contacting Cononical directly at email@example.com. Unity is already available for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS can be downloaded here.

Once again. Another starlet putting Jessica Simpson to shame. Looks like she still has her pregnancy tits. Delicious.
Looks like she joins Nicole Richie as evidence that some women's bodies actually improve after childbirth.
(P.S. Jessica Simpson is NOT evidence of this)
She had a nice face, nice butt now she had those lovely tits as well. Perfection :)
Funny…all dudes commenting (frenchgal is a fat, old guy with saggy balls) I gave birth, my body looks the same as before. Lucky? Hardly, I'm just young and take care of myself. FUCK off you judgmental fat dudes with no life that haven't even gone through birth. Unless you've done it, then you've earned the right to bitch at others. Go jack off to your slutty mags since you're obviously not 'dad' material.
So you were 300 lbs before AND after giving birth, huh? Kudos for consistency.
"Unless you've done it, then you've earned the right to bitch at others." By your own line of reasoning since you have never been 'dad' material, or a guy, or a fat guy hacking off, then you have not earned the right to bitch at others about them.
The 'if you've never done x you cannot speak about x' is a futile line of reasoning. Since the only thing you've really done is be you, so you would not be able to talk about anything anyone else does.
Are you trying to sound 'intelligent' …you are not very good at it. Sorry. Again, so have you given birth to something other than a food baby?
HA 300 pounds, yeah I'm for sure I'm 300 pounds and right now I'm eating my sorrows away with a bucket of fried chicken. I envy the lucky who gets to be with you at of the end of each day :O …or boy. No judgement! You sounds like a catch.
good gawd

Why all the talk about water melons and fried chicken. What are you really trying to say.

She looks so yummy in this photo.

That is exactly the same face I made when I saw this photo.
"You're not cutting those puppies out Terry!" thought Natalie that morning as she stuffed her bra, knowing Terrence Malick's habit of editing actors out of his movies.
I would fuck her until she couldnt stand
Girl is fine!
Those boobs are not for real.
Sure they are.
That's her reaction to seeing John Hamm's penis.
Who is she ?
So, I go away for a week and a half, and this is the crap I missed? Cool.
I'm calling BS on the boobs……sure, being preggers makes 'em bigger – along with the rest of you. I'm guessing this is a made-for-movie-roll chest

text: Explore the career of the filmmaker responsible for inventing the modern gore film in this documentary featuring interviews with such ardent fans and followers as Pink Flamingoes director John Waters and famed drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs. In the beginning, Hershell Gordon Lewis titillated moviegoers with "Nudie Cuties" -- films which featured pretty young women in various states of undress. His career took a decidedly gruesome turn, however, when he unleashed Blood Feast on unsuspecting grindhouse audiences in 1963. A film that reveled in viscera, Blood Feast pushed the boundaries of gore in a manner that was positively shocking for the time. And Lewis was only getting started; in the years that followed he continued to shock moviegoers with such unapologetically repulsive horror films as Two Thousand Maniacs!, The Gruesome Twosome, and The Wizard of Gore. In this film, movie fans get the unique opportunity to explore one of the most fascinating - and morbid -- chapters in the history of cinema. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

By Lawrence James
St. Martin's, $32.50, 448 pages
For Americans who tend to think of political "dynasties" in terms of mere decades - father-and-son combos like John and John Quincy Adams and the two George Bushes, or the now rather anemic remnant of Kennedy office- holders - the idea of a hereditary ruling class that could last nearly 2,000 years seems inconceivable. Yet our closest cousins on the other side of the Atlantic were the victims and/or beneficiaries of just such a political aristocracy from 1066, the year of the Norman Conquest, until 1998, when all but a handful of hereditary peers were ejected from Britain's House of Lords by an unstoppable Labor Party majority in the House of Commons.
Of course, this was only the coup de grace; the powers of the House of Lords had been gradually eroded by successive Liberal and Labor governments for nearly a century and now consist mainly of delaying rather than veto power over parliamentary legislation. But for all of the years between 1066 and 1998, members of a numerically small British nobility played a disproportionately powerful role in British politics, diplomacy and military affairs.
Inherited privilege accounted for much of this, but so too did a tradition of selfless service. As "Aristocrats" author Lawrence James points out, in the heyday of empire, "In every ... garrison and on every quarterdeck there were young men of birth with absolute self-assurance, a sincere faith in their country's imperial mission and a willingness to risk their lives to fulfill it."
Official positions aside, it was this hereditary aristocracy that shaped the national character, most notably its love of sport and rugged, sometimes, eccentric individualism, and its deep-seated - critics would say jingoistic - sense of patriotism and superiority to the religious, political and revolutionary excesses of continental Europe.
A talented, fluent historian, Mr. James leads us on an appropriately grand tour of the lives and impact of this truly remarkable breed. His detailed command of such a broad subject is impressive, although he occasionally slips into minor errors. For example, the first earl of Clarendon was appointed lord chancellor by Charles II, not Charles I, whom he served as chancellor of the exchequer.
While their political influence lies at the center of his narrative, Mr. James also shows us how the same aristocratic class also popularized the refinements in art, architecture, literature, discourse, travel, drinking, dining and manners that would come to define the good life and social graces for an ever-expanding British middle class.
Try to imagine Benjamin Disraeli, Gilbert and Sullivan, Dickens, Thackeray and Trollope, P.G. Wodehouse, Noel Coward, Evelyn Waugh, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher or - on the fictitious debit side - Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet") evolving as they did in the absence of the sometimes adored, sometimes abhorred, but always present aristocratic example.
Churchill himself embodies the resilient adaptability that propped up the "Stately Homes of England" for so many generations. Born in Blenheim Palace, although he was a direct descendant of one of England's greatest military commanders (the first duke of Marlborough), and the grandson and nephew of later dukes, Churchill was an untitled commoner. Yet his whole life was driven by a sense of "noble" ideals and the pursuit of ancestral, imperial destiny.
He was also a biological product of one of the British nobility's most effective survival tactics. It thrived for as long as it did thanks to regular transfusions of fresh blood, often closely related to a pressing need for fresh funds. Thus even spendthrift noble wastrels helped re-energize their caste since new infusions of cash required marrying the daughters of the nouveau riche, often Americans. In Churchill's case, his father married Jennie Jerome, a beautiful young American whose fortune proved illusory but whose wit, charm and indomitable spirit formed young Winston's most valuable inheritance.
The need for other than financial forms of relief also helped to keep the peerage alive and well. I was personally convinced of this on a rainy 1980s afternoon in London's Reform Club when friends introduced me to the now late duke of St. Albans. A tall, mustachioed cavalier with a twinkle in his eye, he could easily have passed for a reincarnation of King Charles II.
In a way, he was; his 17th-century forebear, the first duke, was the merry monarch's illegitimate (but subsequently ennobled) son by "pretty, witty" Nell Gwyn, a clever and bewitching cockney actress. Sipping whiskey and soda with Nell's titled 20th-century descendant - who conducted his nebulous business affairs from Monte Carlo - was a reminder of just how adaptable the British aristocracy has proven itself.
Fortunately, positive traditions can be passed on by example as well by blood. This seems to be the case with the present House of Lords, which consists overwhelmingly of "life peers" - individuals given nonhereditary titles for lifetime achievement, often with a strong element of political patronage.
As Mr. James concludes: "The last ten years ... witnessed the strange rebirth of the House of Lords. ... Today, the Lords are applying their traditional dispassion and watchfulness to restrain an executive whose inclinations are authoritarian and which tends to dismiss the ancient legal rights and liberties of the individual as hindrances to administrative efficiency. ... The power of the hereditary aristocracy may have disappeared, but its sense of public duty remains strong among its modern successor."

The researchers found, as they had expected, that resveratrol treatment increased the expression of SIRT1 and stimulated the activity of AMPK in the livers of mice fed alcohol. They further found that the increased expression of SIRT1 and AMPK led to:
The findings suggest that resveratrol prevents alcoholic fatty liver by coordinating molecules that control fat metabolism. This prevents accumulation of fat in the mouse liver by both reducing the production of fat and burning off the fat that is there. Interestingly, the combination of alcohol with resveratrol appears to enhance the positive effects of resveratrol, said Dr. You, the study's senior author.
"Our study suggests that resveratrol may serve as a promising agent for preventing or treating human alcoholic fatty liver disease," the authors concluded.
