* Via the TORn forums:Concerning the Silmarillion (and its movie adaptation) - A QUESTION.I presume this question has been asked many times before, but is there any change concerning The Silmarillion rights?Has PJ expressed any interest in adapting the book into more movies? Is that even possible? Do you think it will happen? And how many movies would be enough?Sorry if this is repetitive, but I could not find a thread like this... Did Gandalf ride Gwaihir in The Hobbit? (This subject has probably been broached before, but perhaps a fresh look.) BOOKS ONLY PLEASEWe must start near the end of LOTR, after The Ring's destruction, where Gandalf says: "Twice you have borne me, Gwaihir my friend. Thrice shall pay for all." (The Field of Cormallen)The first was the rescue from Orthanc, and the second the rescue from Zirak-zigal. This third would be from the slag hills to Mt. Doom.Taking Gandalf's statement as correct then Gwaihir did not carry Gandalf in the rescue from the trees in The Hobbit, as this would constitute a fourth ride. Although Gwaihir could have been involved in the tree rescue (he just didn't carry Gandalf) and/or The Battle of Five Armies, (assuming here the descendants of Thorondor had a decent lifespan as it was some 79 years from Bilbo's finding of The Ring to its destruction).Some have assumed that either Tolkien or Gandalf simply forgot about the rescue in The Hobbit; but those who have read Letters of JRR Tolkien realize his attention to detail, and his doggedly persistence at accuracy as he went over and over his manuscript attempting to achieve a realistic consistency. Yet, even so he might be forgiven a rare inaccurate date, or some other triviality, but to overlook such a major occurrence as riding a Great Eagle is beyond incredibly unbelievable.As for Gandalf forgetting this fourth ride (actually would be the first ride) consider his statement during An Unexpected Party:"And Thrain your father went away on the twenty-first of April, a hundred years ago last Thursday."Not the words of one who is forgetful, au contraire. As with Tolkien, it would seem amazingly incredible that Gandalf would forget the rescue from the trees in The Hobbit.Coming soon to a Post near you: Was Gwaihir The Lord of the Eagles? How far would people in middle earth go if Nuclear weapons were available?Let's just focus on the late Third Age, particularly the quest for Erebor and the War of the Ring. How far do you reckon the forces of good and evil go with these wepons?Considering just how devastating these wepons are, I dont think that the Elves would approve of it. They love the earth, and to see areas completely destroyed by nuclear fallout would be devastating to them. Even Mordor, as barren as it is, would be barren forever if nuclear warfare was used.Dwarves and Men, I'm not too sure. They both seem to be industrial and ruthless when it comes to warfare. I can see both of them being like us humans in the real world. Wanting to use them badly, but knowing the consequences refuse to.And then there is the Orcs and Sauron. Now the Orcs, beng as mindless and destructive to all good things, will probably use nuclear wepons without any hesitation, even if the fallout does prove to be deadly to them. But Sauron on the otherhand, I see as being of similar mind to the elves. His evil intentions, were far less then Morgoths intentions, who wanted absolute destruction of Arda. Sauron wants Order and dominion in Arda, not total destruction. He will see the destruction and waste that will be left in the earth, and not see any reason to rule it. Nuclear bombs are destructive weapons more suited to morgoth. Rings of power are more dominating artefacts that suite sauron more. I dont see Sauron using nuclear bombs against Gondor and the rest of Middle-earth.Thoughts on this? Just some fun speculation...

Saturn's giant moon Titan has been of considerable interest since the presence of an atmosphere was hinted at one century ago. The NASA-ESA-ASI Cassini-Huygens mission, at Saturn for the last 4 years, has transformed this curious dot in the sky into a remarkably diverse, complex and interesting world, which is in many ways more Earth-like than anywhere in the solar system. This talk will summarize some of Cassini's recent findings with emphasis on the interactions between Titan's surface, atmosphere, and interior.
All landforms on Titan that are unambiguously identifiable can be explained by exogenic processes (aeolian, fluvial, impact cratering, and mass wasting). Previous suggestions of endogenically produced cryovolcanic constructs and flows have, without exception, lacked conclusive diagnostic evidence. Titan might be most akin to Callisto with weather. Dr. Moore will show the results of Landform Evolution Modeling for the purposes of testing this, and other, hypotheses.
NASA and ESA have recently selected the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM) as the next Flagship mission to the out solar system. The mission concept consists of a NASA-led Jupiter Europa Orbiter (JEO) and an ESA-led Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter (JGO), which would execute a choreographed exploration of the Jupiter System before entering orbit around Europa and Ganymede, respectively.
The Cassini spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn since 2004, with frequent flybys of the largest moon Titan. With its thick atmosphere rich in nitrogen and hydrocarbons, it was once thought that Titan was covered in a global ocean of methane. Cassini optical and microwave imaging instruments have since revealed a world with a solid surface, strikingly similar in physical appearance to Earth, complete with lakes of liquid methane/ethane in the polar regions.
An extensive set of thermal measurements of Saturn's main rings has been returned by the Cassini Composite Infrared spectrometer (CIRS) over the past five years at a variety of ring geometries that are not observable from Earth. The largest temperature changes on the lit face of the rings are driven by variations in phase angle, including an unexpected thermal surge at low phase angles. Temperatures at equinox were retrieved for the first time, as the sun traversed from the south to north side of the rings in mid-August.
Infrared spectra of icy satellites contain information about the surface composition and the phase state of those materials. For example, the phase of H2O-ice can be used to interpret the temperature and radiation history of an icy surface. Optical constants derived from laboratory data are needed to create model spectra for comparison to observations and may lead to a new understanding of surface processes.
We simulate the formation of planetary systems around Alpha Centauri B. The N-body accretionary evolution of a 1/r disk populated with 400-900 lunar-mass oligarchs is followed for 200 Myr. All simulations lead to the formation of multiple-planet systems with at least one planet in the 1-2 Msun mass range at 0.5-1.5 AU. We examine the detectability of our simulated planetary systems by generating synthetic radial velocity observations including noise based on the radial velocity residuals to the recently published three planet fit to the nearby K0V star HD 69830.
There are at least 37 objects in this solar system with masses greater than 1020 kg, two thirds of which have surfaces made primarily of water ice. The handful of icy bodies studied by spacecraft have revealed an enormous diversity of bizarre and unanticipated features, from geysers on Triton and Enceladus, to the peculiar shapes of Iapetus and 2003 EL61. I will discuss three aspects of icy body geodynamics: using surface observations to constrain their thermal evolution; the role of tidal heating; and their potential to undergo reorientation.
Spectroscopy, particularly in the near-infrared, continues to be the most effective means for determining the compositions of the surfaces of planetary bodies. Planetary spectroscopy has moved beyond the mere identification of species to the quantitative interpretation of mixtures of several materials and the physical states in which they occur. Dr.

As part of its College Match Program, MDRC has released an application guide for "counselors, teachers, and advisers who work with high school students from low-income families and students who are the first in their families to pursue a college education."
A "match" school embodies two important qualities: It is academically suited for the student, and it meets her financial, social, and personal needs. Unfortunately, "undermatching"—enrolling in schools for which one is academically overqualified or not applying to college at all—is all too common for low-income kids, driving down their college completion rates. Myriad factors at the student, secondary, and post-secondary levels can lead to this phenomenon, including lack of information, concerns about leaving home, minimal training for adults working with students, and limited college recruitment practices.
MDRC's solution is the College Match Program. Between 2010 and 2014, it placed "near-peer" advisers, who are recent college graduates with training in college advising, in low-income high schools (eight in Chicago and two in New York City) to support students as they navigated the school-selection and financial aid application process. Approximately 1,200 students were served. Researchers conclude that students are willing to apply to selective colleges when they (1) have an...
Back in January, the Education Research Alliance (ERA) for New Orleans released a study looking at patterns of parental choice in the highly competitive education marketplace. That report showed that non-academic considerations (bus transportation, sports, afterschool care) are often bigger factors than academic quality when parents choose schools. It also suggested strongly that it was possible for other players in the system (e.g., city officials, charter authorizers, the SEA) to assert the primacy of academic quality by a number of means (e.g., type and style of information available to parents, a central application system). A new report from ERA-New Orleans follows up by examining school-level responses to competition, using interview and survey data from thirty schools of all types across the city.
Nearly all of the surveyed school leaders reported having at least one competitor for students, and most schools reported more than one response to that competition. The most commonly reported response, cited by twenty-five out of thirty schools, was marketing existing school offerings more aggressively. Less common responses to competition included improving academic instruction and making operational changes like budget cuts so that the need to compete for more students (and money) would be less pressing.
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, best known for its scholarship programs for low-income gifted students in high school and college, has entered into the policy realm by beating the drum on an important issue—closing the excellence gap. Gifted-education expert Jonathan Plucker and his coauthors grade states on how they educate an oft-forgotten class of learners: high-performing, low-income students. (We at Fordham often refer to high-achieving students as high flyers.)
The report assesses states on inputs, which include requiring the identification of gifted students, providing services for them, and establishing pro-acceleration policies. Predictably, but still dishearteningly, not one state earned an A for providing needed support for their low-income high-flyers. On average, states only implement three of nine desirable policies, and no state implements more than six. Only two states require gifted education coursework in teacher or administrator training. The best grade, a B-, went to Minnesota, in part because it requires gifted students to be identified and given services.
Helpfully, the report also grades states on outputs. It reports the number of their students who reached "Advanced" on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) assessments or scored a three or higher on Advanced Placement exams (not necessarily...
Today, the Senate HELP Committee is considering the bipartisan ESEA reauthorization bill crafted by Senators Alexander and Murray.
This legislation represents a very smart compromise on the key issue of accountability. What happens in committee, on the floor, and beyond is anyone's guess. But the current language is, in my view, the best proposal we've seen for solving the problem that's held up ESEA reauthorization for ages.
In February, I created a graphic showing how the various proposals on the table handled the various elements of accountability. The major plans followed one of three approaches. The middle path (between a beefed-up federal role and an emaciated one) was staked out by state-oriented groups including CCSSO, NGA, and NCSL. I called this "Accountability for Results."
The Alexander-Murray bill is in this mold, though with a couple of notable adjustments.
Like many other plans, it keeps NCLB's suite of tests. But it makes a very important, very interesting, and very compelling amendment to NCLB's aspirational target of all students reaching proficiency in each grade by...
Everyone is right to laud the impressive work of Senate HELP Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander and ranking member Patty Murray in producing a strong bipartisan bill to update the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). But it has a significant flaw that needs mending before it becomes law, and it might be up to House Republicans to do the fixing.
The problem, in a nutshell, is that it puts enormous pressure on the states to set utopian goals. That, in turn, will result in most schools being declared failures (and/or create pressure for states to water down their standards), which is exactly what happened under NCLB.
At issue is a true dilemma for policymakers: There seems to be an irresistible urge in education to set aspirational goals. There's nothing wrong with that, per se—stirring, "shoot for the moon" rhetoric can be motivational and galvanize action. But as Rick Hess and Checker Finn have explained, when it's time to create accountability systems, policymakers must sober up. If they set unrealistic, unreachable goals, the people working in the system will grow cynical and disillusioned—the opposite of motivated.
Senator Alexander's discussion draft bill got this balance right. (So does the...
I'm back from a week's vacation and pleased to find that ESEA reauthorization is still (if just barely) alive. The release of a compromise bill from Senate HELP Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander and ranking member Patty Murray gives me an excuse to bring back my beloved color-coded ESEA table.
The last time we checked, when Chairman Alexander published his discussion draft, it looked like this:
After negotiating with Senator Murray, it now looks like this (items that moved are in bold):
(* These were in the Alexander discussion draft too; I had them in the wrong column last time. My apologies.** The School Improvement Grants program is officially gone, though the bill [like Alexander's discussion draft] does include a large state set-aside for school "interventions and supports.")
So what's the big news? First, federally mandated teacher evaluations are dead as a doorknob, as are requirements that states adopt a particular type of standard (read: Common Core). That's good news on both fronts, as Uncle Sam has become a monkey on the...
The Every Child Achieves Act of 2015, unveiled a few days back by Senators Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray and scheduled for HELP Committee mark-up on April 14, is a remarkable piece of work. The mere fact that it's bipartisan is remarkable enough, given the polarized state of Capitol Hill nowadays. But it's also a reasonable, forward-looking compromise among strongly divergent views of the federal role in K–12 education—and between the overreach (and attendant backlash) of NCLB and some people's conviction that NCLB didn't reach far enough.
The draft has received much applause—some of it muted, some tentative—from many quarters (including the Obama administration). Indeed, some Washington wags have remarked that if so many different factions are saying nice things about it, either they haven't actually read it or there must be something wrong with it! I like most of it myself, though I (as with perhaps everyone else who has said anything positive) hope that the refinements to be offered in committee and on the floor will yield something that I like even better.
I'm mindful, though, that the amending process in the Senate alone is where...
Brown Center reports on the state of American education are characteristically lucid and informative as well as scrupulously research-based—and they sometimes venture into unfamiliar but rewarding territory. That's certainly the case with the third section of the latest report, which addresses "the intensity with which students apply themselves to learning in school."
Drawing on PISA data (i.e., fifteen year olds), this is an exceptionally timely probe into one of the key temperamental, attitudinal, behavioral, or characterological traits (take your pick of which category it fits best) that may influence both short-term school performance and long-term success. Many people—perhaps taken with the recent attention that's been lavished on student attributes like "grit"—would say, "Of course there's a powerful influence. Why is the matter even worth restating?" But Loveless shows us why, beginning by noting the highly uncertain link between engagement and achievement, at least as both are gauged by PISA, and demonstrating that some countries that best the United States in achievement lag behind us in engagement.
He explains the importance of the "unit of analysis" in all such studies, then goes on to pull PISA's four-part measure of "intrinsic motivation" into its constituent parts and closely examine each of these....
Part II of the latest Brown Center report is called "Measuring Effects of the Common Core." Loveless creates two indexes of Common Core State Standards implementation by using data from two surveys of state education agencies. The 2011 index is based on a survey from that year, which reports how many activities—such as conducting professional development or adopting new instructional materials—states had undertaken while implementing the CCSS. "Strong" states are those that pursued at least three implementation strategies. The 2013 index uses survey data asking state officials when they plan to complete CCSS implementation. In this case, "strong" indicates full implementation by 2012–2013.
Analyzing the relationship between survey results and fourth-grade NAEP data for reading, Loveless finds little difference between "strong" states and the four states that never adopted Common Core. According to the 2011 index, strong implementers outscored the four states that didn't adopt the Common Core by a little more than a scale point between 2009 and 13 (yet the small comparison group makes for less reliable findings). Strong states did a bit better relative to the 2013 index, but still outdid non-implementers by less than two NAEP points.
More interesting than these preliminary correlation studies, however, is...
Here's a fascinating data point: Did you know that the entire weight of Finnish superiority on international reading tests rests on the shoulders of that country's girls? The reading scores of Finnish boys on PISA tests is not statistically different than those of American boys, or even the average U.S. student of either sex—that's how wide the gender gap is in Finland. "Finnish superiority in reading only exists in females," writes Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Tom Loveless in what is surely the most eyebrow-raising finding in the 2015 Brown Center Report on American Education. "If Finland were only a nation of young men," he observes, "its PISA ranking would be mediocre."
That girls outscore boys on reading tests is not news. What is surprising is just how profound and persistent are the gaps. Boys lag girls in every country in the world and at every age, and they have for quite some time. But the gender gap on the 2012 PISA in Finland, the global education superstar, is the widest in the world and twice that of the United States. The sober and precise Loveless can barely restrain himself. "Think of all the commentators who cite Finland to promote particular...

It doesn't seem like too often I get to report on the exotic-looking specimen that is Russian model Irina Shayk. Her bathing suit photoshoots may not be coming along as frequently as they used to, but they certainly come in large packages. We just received a ton of photos of Irina looking flaming hot in a bunch of different bikinis for Agua Bendita Swimwear. There's no telling just yet whether or not Shayk will be appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for her 6th year in a row, but I wouldn't see why not. She's had a great 5-6 years of getting in and out of those things. I'd like to get in and out of her (okay, I apologize for that one).

Following the Rosie O'Donnell–Donald Trump kerfuffle, what better time for a Rosie tell-all? Little Pink Slips is a "novel" written by Sally Koslow, who just happened to be shoved out of her editor-in-chief position at McCall's when O'Donnell improbably took over the magazine after a six-year stint as a talk-show host. In the book, according to early chapters obtained by Radar Online, Koslow harps on boss Bebe Blake's "well-fed face," "lady-wrestler legs," and predilection for spandex. After the success of The Devil Wears Prada and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, the publicist for Putnam can sit right back and plan her upcoming trip to Bermuda. The rest of us will hope for the movie, something to cleanse our minds of Rosie's performance in Riding the Bus With My Sister.

To some, small business blogs are an effective, low-cost alternative to conventional marketing. But skeptics question the practicality of using this format for small business PR purposes. Learn what proponents and skeptics are saying about this emerging trend.
By Tara Remiasz
Shortly after writing a blog on the topics of "Chicago" and "leadership," Melissa Giovagnoli was contacted to speak at a Crain's Small Business Forum on the topic of online marketing. Organizers for the event discovered Giovagnoli after her Web site appeared as the seventh link in an online search. After she was contacted by Crain's, Giovagnoli reported the good news on her blog, which resulted in her link becoming No. 2 in the search engine rankings.
For Giovagnoli, blogging has created a cycle of positive PR, where her postings about the impact of blogging garner her greater exposure, which leads to new opportunities that she then blogs about—beginning the cycle once again.
A Great PR Tool?
As president of Chicago-based Networlding, a company that helps individuals and organizations develop their intellectual property online, Giovagnoli knows the kinds of opportunities the Internet provides for small businesses. In her opinion, one of the greatest opportunities afforded by the Internet is the blog. Blogging is derived from the words "Web" and "log," and is essentially just that—an online journal-style entry.
Giovagnoli is a believer in the promotional power of the blog—its ability to connect businesses with their communities, its ability to positively impact search engine rankings and its ability to keep a Web site relevant and up-to-date.
"It really is a fun way to do some unique things," she says. Blogs can be used to announce a contest your business is running, awards it has won, success stories and before-and-after profiles of customers, she says. "You can get very creative and think about things that your audience would like."
Not Everyone is a Believer
Like Giovagnoli, many people see blogs as a powerful marketing tool with the potential to impact customer retention while attracting new customers. But, others remain skeptical of blogs' ability to serve small businesses as an effective marketing tool.
"It's a great feedback mechanism, a great community builder," says Bill Furlong, president of SearchChannel LLC in Oak Brook, Ill. But, says Furlong, "It's one thing to have a blog and share one's points of view; it's another to use it to tap into consumers to mine their points of view."
Many people are attracted to blogs because of their rawness and honesty, but it is these same qualities that pose a dilemma for small business bloggers. How can a business owner stay true to the spirit of openness that is associated with blogs without alienating or offending his potential customer base? "I am a bit concerned," Furlong says. "If a corporate blog is supposed to be as forthright and as objective as traditional blogs, there's going to be some issues."
Small business bloggers need to strike a balance between providing interesting content and posting a series of rants and raves that will deter customers. In addition, says Furlong, an effective small business blogger should create a personality around the blog that exemplifies the way he wants customers to view his business. The issue of "personality" brings up another dilemma, which is how can you convey a certain personality without compromising the honesty that many people have come to expect from blogs? This is something for business owners to contemplate and decide for themselves.
To Post or Not to Post?
Business owners who post blogs need to think beyond issues of what they will write, and consider if they will allow others to contribute comments. Both Furlong and Giovagnoli agree that business owners need to have an editor for both their own and their readers' comments.
If a business blogger is true to the spirit of blogs, he will not edit what people post, Furlong says. However, the potential for getting burned means that small business owners should edit and filter outside postings that are obviously damaging or out of line, he says. "Certainly you have to have an editor," he says. "But you do lose a little bit of the luster by doing that."
Giovagnoli disagrees with the contention that a blog is less of a blog when postings are edited or people can't respond to the writer's entries. Blogs can take on many different and creative forms, she says.
Whatever you decide in terms of editing, it's important to be forthright about all the guidelines and processes that postings will undergo. This will prepare contributors for the possibility that their postings may be altered or even withheld in certain cases.
Investing the Time
One of the primary draws for using a blog as a promotional tool is that they keep your Web site content fresh and updated. But, it's important to remember that your site will only be as current as your last update, which is directly tied to the amount of time and effort that you invest. Although the monetary investment in blogs can be extremely low—$100 per year or less—the time investment can be substantial.
Giovagnoli says an effective business blogger will post new content at least once per week, with a minimum of about one hour to write and post your entry, she says. "If you put in the time, it's the best investment," she says. "This is not a fad; this is something that will keep evolving."

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, I'm diabetic also but am responsible enough to not eat all that sugar or complain about it.
Friendly staff. Gave great food recommendations.
They gave us a water aide room. And there are sea lions.....
The location was close to the water and by the River Walk Trail.
Felt a little shabby, view out of the tiny window was of HVAC units.
Very clean. Comfortable bed.
Room was not ready when requested. Cleaning staff entered room just after 9 am. I didn't have a do not disturb sign up, but check out isn't until 11. So this caught me by surprise.
The view from my room was very nice. Would have been better if it wasn't stormy the whole time. The staff was all very nice
The comfort of the beds. Didn't sleep very well.
Central location in Astoria. Within walking distance to many restaurants and the river. Nice view from the roof. Roof has viewing area with fire pit.
The 24 hour spa, fitness and pool use.
The location and view.
The friendly staff with helpful suggestions of the local restaurants.
The way I was treated by the front desk clerk made me feel so welcome. I am disabled and she understood my needs and was very helpful.
Every time I saw any of your staff they always greeted me cheerfully and said "Hi" or "Good morning etc."
The room was always clean and inviting.
I had nothing to complain about.
It was a super cheap stay that is extremely conveniently located. The room was basic but shockingly clean. The bathroom in room 18 was simple but looked new and was spotless. Receptionist seemed cool and down to earth.
The room was small but on par for how much we paid. There are minimal outlets which is expected in an older establishment. There wasn't a lot of natural light in room 18 because the only window was to the only exterior hallway that was dark. Minimal ammenities, front desk had coffee and that's about it. This hotel is perfect for a place to crash for the night while being out and about and having a hot shower in the morning.
Very centrally located. We caught the trolley two blocks away, great food four small blocks away, close to the riverfront, and close to the Historic District. The Manager was very friendly and informative. New bathroom fixtures, tile, and paint.
Though the bathroom has been given a very nice facelift lately (looks like it took place sometime this year), but the tub was turning brown already and didn't look like it has been toughed with a good cleaner, and there were a couple of those nasty "hairs" in the tub too (the reason I ALWAYS travel with shower flip-flops). The highway is a little noisy all night, but what can you expect when it's only 40' away; it's both a convenience to have the highway that close, and a hindrance.
Nothing the place was filthy. Internet didn't work. Staff was unfriendly. Too noisy
Staff, unclean room, noisy, old dilapidated needs t be torn down. A disgusting place
Breakfast was amazing!
The bathroom needed some work
We couldn't have asked for a better view. The hotel sits right on the water with the amazing bridge right next to it as well as a little green space with benches. The best place to stay in Astoria.
very noisy, air conditioner poor, motel guest talking on cell phone outside of window for 2 hours at bedtime, motel guest above smoking marijuana, very loud bathroom flushing and water pipes.

Love Bites
Antoine is a social wannabe who drops an elusive aristocrat's name to get into an exclusive party. The name - Jordan - gets him whisked by two burly bodyguards into the office of the host, von Bulow, who won't accept Antoine's admission of lying, gives him $100,000, and promises $900,000 more when led to Jordan. Enticed by the money, Antoine, with the help of his friend Étienne, begins his search. He follows trails through Paris's night scene, gets beaten up and bitten, and meets Jordan's sister, Violaine. After a surreal night, he's hooked on her charms but leery of continuing his pursuit of Jordan. Von Bulow insists. Can he find Jordan, get his reward, and attract Violaine?

Sources within the committee caution that come Friday anything can happen, but even some of Steele's supporters privately acknowledge that his path to re-election is steep. They expect that his support could dwindle without an extremely strong showing on the first ballot.
Cino told ABC News that the chairman "has done a good job of conducting himself" during the race, but predicted that re-election would be "a big challenge for him."
Nevertheless, Steele backers like Michigan GOP committeewoman Holly Hughes have been helping him round up endorsements and on Monday night the chairman circulated a memo touting the RNC's accomplishments and rebutting much of the criticism that has been leveled by rivals.
"Over the past two years, by many key measures, the RNC has been more successful at that task than any committee in history," Steele wrote. "Notwithstanding the inside Washington noise, that is simply a fact. And, working together, our party can make sure that the next two years are even better."
Massachusetts RNC committeeman Ron Kaufman said that Priebus, who has the backing of one of the committee's most influential members -- Mississippi committeeman Henry Barbour, nephew of the state's Gov. Haley Barbour -- looks like he has considerable momentum going into this Friday's vote.
"Where that leads to is still up in the air," Kaufman said in an interview with ABC News. "RNC elections are kind of like conventions, once the gavel comes down it takes on a life of its own."
But other candidates have been seeking to throw cold water on reports that Priebus is the front-runner. Anuzis, who ran for RNC chair two years ago and lost, said that if Steele bows out after the first round of voting Priebus would have to lay claim to at least half of Steele's votes in order to win outright on the second ballot.
"Based on our internal count and that of other campaigns and RNC members, that seems highly unlikely," Anuzis wrote in a memo to his supporters. "Once Steele is out, the dynamics change. Reince may or may not hold onto all his votes and whatever 'anybody but Steele' votes he was able to rally early on in order to create Steele's vulnerability."
As Republican political strategist Mike Murphy pointed out in an online column, in some corners of the party, Priebus, who served until recently as the RNC's general counsel, is viewed as a Steele ally who betrayed the chairman while others perceive him as "too close to the old Steele regime."
"I think there is about a 60 percent chance that Priebus will take it, followed by a 35 percent chance for Anuzis and a 10 percent chance for a Cino upset," wrote Murphy, who is not a member of the committee.
The five candidates and their backers have been crisscrossing the country, making phone calls, sending volleys of e-mail messages and releasing action plans to shore up support ahead of the vote.
"Republicans are going to be faced with a billion dollar campaign that's going to be waged by Barack Obama in 2012," Cino said, noting that her past experience with the party would enable her to "walk in on January 15 with no on the job training."
She added, "It's not just a $20 million debt, it's a campaign that is coming at us like a freight train."
The vote for chairman will take place on Friday beginning at 10 a.m. ET during the RNC's winter meeting, which is being held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.

I am using AngularJS and angularFire to show a list of my tasks:

{{tool.name}} {{ tool.description}}

var toolRef = new Firebase(dbRef + "/tools/" + toolId);
toolRef.once('value', function(snapshot) {
Code is very simple: I bind a 'site' object to my Firebase DB. The object contains a list of ID of relevant tools. Then I load every tool in the $scope.tools variable and use ng-repeat to show them in the UI. However, every time I push a new entry into my $scope.tools - the DOM is not updated. I have to call $scope.$apply to trigger digest after every push - see commented out line 18 and then it works.
It's really strange since I sow this several times now and only with scope variables bound with angularFire.
Can anyone explain this? Am I doing anything wrong?

Gorilla Playset
Catherine from Magnolia, DE – Verified Buyer
I purchased this for my grandchildren for Christmas, and was very pleased with the item. The only problem that I found was that I felt the length of the actual seat should of been a little longer, as when both of my grandchildren got on the swing there wasn't very much room for them. They were sitting very close together and this created some what of a problem. If the seat were a little longer I feel as if they could operate it more easily. I must say they did enjoy it, not quite able to move the swing on their own yet, but with some assistance from an adult, they did enjoy it.
Affordable product that catches your eyes.
Cornelia Ojukwu from Woodstock, GA 30188 – Verified Buyer
The quality of the product is durable, the pros are safe and fun. The cons are only hold 50lb or less can ride it. Pros: Product is durable, waterproof, hold it color in different types of weather, safe for children. Cons: It only can ride 50 lbs or less and children need to face it other like a sew/saw.
Glider Swing
Stacy from Ooltewah, TN – Verified Buyer
I think this swing is great! We've only had it for a few days but my kids are enjoying it! It doesn't come with the metal bracket thing but it does attach to the regular swing hooks. I will probably buy the bracket so it works a little better. Overall, happy with my purchase and the price I paid for it!
Great glider for my preschoolers!
Melissa B from Elizabeth, PA – Verified Buyer
I searched high and low for this type of glider and found Wayfair offering the absolute best price with free shipping! We have limited space and needed an upgrade from the toddler swing now that the girls are bigger, but we don't have room for two swings. We hung it on the underside of our elevated wood deck. The swing hangs from four points of contact using a combination of rope (where little hands will be grabbing on) and chain up above. There's plenty of chain for adjusting the height. You just need to be prepared to buy the appropriate hooks or other mounting hardware for your installation. My girls are happy and I'm very pleased with my purchase.
the children love it!
kim from north bay, ON – Verified Buyer
big enough and you can adjust the height of it as the children get bigger...they love it!! Pros: nice size and very easy to put together...glides wonderfully!
Great product
elaine from waterford, PA – Verified Buyer
Great quality product but would be better if all hardware and brackets were included.
HIgh flyer!

Kids love it
Nicole from palo alto – Verified Buyer
Holding up great. Kids have a good time although they don't use it quite as much as I expected. It's a great addition to the two half bucket swings we have.

Great glider, fast service!

Scans of the book that comes with The O.C. Complete Series DVD Collection have been uploaded. Hugeee thanks to Jen from Desiring Hayden for taking the time out to scan all the pages featuring Mischa for us!
A few candids of Mischa at the Bureau Club for the Roisin Murphy afterparty in London from November 29th have been added. Thanks to Marie!
Another 4 outtakes from Mischa's photoshoot for InStyle Germany have surfaced and I have added them to the gallery.
Some really awesome photos of Mischa swimming with a Dolphin at the Atlantis Hotel have been added. It's nice seeing her all natural and relaxed! Big thanks to Mel from our family site Blake Lively Web for the shots.
In other news, Mischa's official site has been updated again with a new video blog from inside the Atlantis Hotel. The site also features a video of Mischa at a photoshoot posing with a Camels.
A whole bunch of additional photos of Mischa at the Grand Opening of Atlantis Hotel in Dubai have been added. Mischa is pictured with various different celebrities including Mary-Kate Olsen, Lily Allen and fashion designer Matthew Williamson.
Also added is a shot of Mischa at the after party following the Grand Opening.
Photos of a seriously stunning Mischa at the Grand Opening of Atlantis, The Palm Resort, Dubai (United Arab Emirates) have been uploaded. So far only a handful of shots are up but more will be added shortly. The following is an extract about the event with guests including Oprah Winfrey, Charlize Theron and Denzel Washington:
The Atlantis Hotel's exclusive opening party on Thursday evening is set to break records as the world's most exclusive private party and will feature singer Kylie Minogue. The one-night celebration is due to bring the world's first man-made palm island to a complete standstill as the VIP guests are chauffeur-driven to the venue. Palm residents have even been urged to return to villas and apartments by 2pm to avoid being denied entry to their homes.
At a cost of $20million (Dh73 million) the lavish party will play host to around 2,500 celebrity and royal guests and a number of VIPs from the UAE. Created by Grucci, the company responsible for the fireworks display at the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games in Beijing, the Atlantis display will be visible from space and will feature giant flowers, palm trees and meteors in the UAE national colours. More than 200 pyrotechnics experts have been working on the project for more than 3,000 hours, which will see rockets launched from 716 individual spots.
To put the display into perspective, 100,000 specially-designed pyrotechnic devices will be fired in comparison to 30,000 at the Beijing Olympics — meaning the show will be just over three times bigger.
As a sidenote, Mischa's official site has been updated again!
I've added 4 stunning outtakes of Mischa's recent photoshoot for InStyle Germany into our gallery. This is the shoot that is currently used in our layout.
Also, Mischa is currently gracing the cover of Gala Style Germany. Check out the cover below. Scans will hopefully be online soon.
Candids of Mischa out in Hollywood from November 15th have been uploaded.

MERCIFUL HEAVENS... I've got a loooong way to go
I played a good bit of this at a friends house, 'TEH MOS FUN EVAR' but seriously the game is devious, it throws a bunch of enemies at you in the beginning whom collectively have the same level of constitution as a giant African snail, THEN! the game starts to ramp up in difficulty (see Ms. Trunchbold, I CAN spell long word) exponentially. and don't even mention the extreme mode (can't remember what it is called) got my @$$ handed to me on a dirty dinner plate on numerous occasions. I have fond memories of my times, not only with that game, but with what impressed me as serious character designs and character portraits. now i am made wise to the fact that it is indeed you who art the scoundrel who captivated me with those candy sweet visual cupcake parties.
I salute you, and make a solemn oath of honour this day!

David Kilminster, Guitarist on Roger Waters' The Wall Tour, Releases Debut Solo CD
Guitar virtuoso David Kilminster, best known for his work with Roger Waters and Keith Emerson, has released his debut solo CD titled 'Scarlet – The Director's Cut.' David's radical techniques and mesmerizing sounds have captivated fans and fellow musicians alike worldwide.
Named "Guitarist of the Year" by Guitar Magazine in 1991, the recognition propelled him on a super-charged career as a multifaceted guitarist, vocalist, writer, engineer, and producer. Credited by keyboard legend Keith Emerson for inspiring him to go on the road again, David is a familiar figure worldwide to fans of progressive rock. And now, much to the elation of his fans, David is releasing an innovative new CD that will amaze all who listen.
Says David about his new CD, "I guess the album 'Scarlet – The Director's Cut' is just a reflection of all the wonderful music that I grew up listening to on the radio, along with some deeply personal lyrics. It also represents the first time that I've ever been let loose in a studio, so I was definitely like a kid in a candy store!!! Hence trying a whole bunch of things I've never done before...like singing lead vocals, playing piano and even scoring for a string quartet!"
Fans and critics agree that David Kilminster is one of the most extraordinary talents to emerge from the UK. He is a sought after collaborator, band member and solo performer. After touring for a number of years with such luminaries as John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer, and ELP keyboard Keith Emerson, in 2006 David went on the road with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters as lead guitarist and vocalist in the extraordinary global staging of 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. More recently David was seen atop a thirty foot wall playing guitar on Roger Waters 'The Wall - Live' tour, which became the highest grossing tour of the year, playing to over 3 million people worldwide!!
David's work is in a class by itself, encompassing technical mastery and enormous power. His vast musical influences are strongly felt on his new album. Says David, "I have a very eclectic list of influences. Musically, it's anywhere from Debussy to Bjork, Chet Baker to Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley to Queen...it's all in there, mixed up in my own unique way..." As far as the title goes, David explains, "I really love the provocative images that the word 'Scarlet' conjures up in my head... it's a very passionate color, and brings to mind characters such as 'Scarlet O'Hara' in 'Gone With The Wind', 'The Scarlet Woman' (the goddess from the mystical system of Thelema), Scarlet Johansson (very cute!!)... and also the Sir Conan Doyle book 'A Study In Scarlet', which I believe is where Sherlock Holmes was first introduced. In a way the last reference seems particularly apt, as I feel like this album is my first real introduction into the world of music..."
In closing David has this to impart to his fans and listeners, "There's so much of my heart, soul, passion and energy in this recording... you can almost see my DNA in the grooves of the CD!!! So I really hope you enjoy the listening experience..."

I really love the smell of strawberries. This is one of my favorite Body Shop body butters. It has a nice strawberry scent that is not super-sweet. There is a faint plastic note in there, but it's hardly noticeable. It has a nice consistency, spreads well, and absorbs quickly. I wish the scent lasted a little bit longer. And it is rather pricey, so I would try to get it on sale.

Bummer... I so wanted this to smell like what I remember my strawberry shortcake doll smelling like when I was 7 years old. I remember that smell VERY well, and to my nose, this body butter does not resemble it.
Yes, this has a plasticy strawberry aroma to it, but to me its not the same plasticy kid-toy of the strawberry shortcake doll of my youth. That one was much brighter.... yummier.
This one, at least the tub I received, has a very odd off putting deep dark plastic (almost burned plastic!) to it. This might be because it was delivered during a heatwave... possibly.
That being said I am on the fence about this stuff. I own a few varieties already of the Body Shop Butters (coconut, satsuma, almond, and olive) and so far my favorite's are the coconut and the satsuma. Both of those smell like the real thing, and they smell fabulous.
This one certainly doesnt smell like real fresh strawberries... although there would be no mistaking the smell is a strawberry smell. It smells like artificial strawberries and cream. Definitely a slight " milky creamy" factor to this scent, which is nice.
Its refreshing, but I dunno if I can get past the plastic here.
As with all the body butters I have from Body Shop... Its a great moisturizer. Far less greasy than the coconut or almost. Its nice and thick, slightly solid, which is how I prefer my body butters to be.
Ive been laying this under a few spritzes of Burberry (the original/classic one), and so far I like the effect.
Probably will not buy this again... My tub will last me ages I am sure because I will only use it when I am in a rare mood for it.
Not blown away. Really was craving that nostalgic strawberry shortcake doll vibe, but oh well.

This cream does not smell like fresh strawberries at all. It smells exactly like the freeze dried strawberries you find in cereal. I applied this and a few minutes later my boyfriend came into the room and actually asked me if I had been eating Special K...definitely not what I was aiming for! The texture is lovely and buttery. But it is definitely very greasy and heavy. Best for elbows and heels. I probably won't be using this again...it smells like off fruit. A little disappointed.

I love this body butter because of it's whipped-like texture. The smell is very reminiscent of strawberries and when I'm looking for something a bit for fruity, I grab this body butter. I've also tried the shea body butter which is thicker than this one. I believe that the strawberry scent it a little thinner and could possibly be less moisturizing. I notice that this soaks in very quickly. When I got this for Christmas I was very excited and I'm super happy that I own this product!!!

When it comes to body shop, one of my favorite scents is strawberry. I like the fruity smell, makes me wanna just dig in (don't do it). Yes, it smells like stalrawberry flavoured candy and if you don't like scents like that then this may not be for you.
This body butter has a very thick creamy texture, which I think is suitable in dry, winter conditions. I live in a tropical weather and this might not be as useful but I bought it because I'm a sucker for the scent. I bought the bigger container and wished I have bought a smaller one because I don't have to use a lot of it. So if you stay in a similar weather then buy the smaller container or its going to take u a long time to finish it.
So far the scent stays a bit longer than I expected and it doesn't smell yucky or differently after a while. Because its thick I use it on places like elbows and knees and sole of feet. It sinks in very well and non greasy, which is what I like.
So far I don't have any allergic reaction towards body shop products and if you're the same then this might not give you any problem.
The packaging is jar like, which I think is unhygienic if you dip in but I use a plastic spoon for cosmetics and scoop as much as I want, so its no big deal. Plus, the jar is hard plastic so I don't need to worry about it being squeeze under the weight of the luggage like bottle lotions
A thumbs up for this product

This body butter smells amazing. I sinks into the skin really quickly and the smell lingers around for ages. I'm constantly repurchasing this as it's one of the only body lotions I've found that doesn't break me out in a rash. My only complaint is that it does't last very long which is a pain because it's kind of on the pricey side (AUD$26.99). But the whole strawberry line from The Body Shop smells incredible and I'll probably always hav at least on thing with this scent in my bathroom.

This little pot I use is so cute and I use it as a hand cream and that's all I have to say. I love the smell of it which i never get tired of. All the products in the body shop are al in the pricey side but they are really worth it. I got this body butter as a present along with the strawberry bar of soap, body lotion and shower gel. Woe that day I use it all up.

I've gotten a few compliments on the scent when I was wearing this body butter. I went to The Body Shop and smelled the different body butters, and prefer this scent over most of the others. It smells like strawberries and cream. I only buy it though when it's on sale, since like most of The Body Shop products, it's pretty pricey. It's smooth, smells good, and makes your skin soft and without making it greasy. Just be careful not to leave it in a hot car, or it'll melt and spill all over your car. >.<

love this sooo much! I would give 10 stars for overall if I could :) it is true that it works well for dry skin but because my oily acne prone skin is predominantly around my face and shoulders (where I dont use this product anyway!) it's fine for slightly oily skin as long as used in not too oily areas and in moderation, so don't feel that it's particulatly good for dry skin scare you off :) so beautiful and men can't get enough of it! ;)

i love love this product...the smell is AMAZINGGG and sticks to the skin for a long while...very moisturizing however what i don't like about it is that it takes some time to sink into my skin...can't get dressed directly after applying it
