Today, SIIA filed comments in the Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security's proceedings geared toward addressing the problems of botnets and other malware. The harm from malicious software is well known–it can turn computers into elements of a robot network (or botnet), and can be activated by outside entities to launch denial of service attacks, send spam, or harvest personal information. The extent of the problem is hard to quantify, but in the aggregate undoubtedly imposes substantial economic costs on individuals and enterprises.
SIIA's comments are in response to a process set in motion in September, when the Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security set out to craft a framework to address botnets and malware. The proceeding got a boost in October, when Howard Schmidt, Cybersecurity Coordinator for the Obama Administration, and Cameron Kerry, General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Commerce appeared at an event held by the Center for Strategic and International Studies focused on the need for public/private collaboration in fighting malware.
We endorse the fundamental idea of a voluntary approach, in which the government brings together relevant parties to confer on best practices. Our comments support mult-stakeholder discussions on how the private sector can develop and maintain timely and voluntary programs to detect and notify end-users that their machines have been infected with botnets or other malware and provide mitigation support that will eliminate these infections. SIIA wants to be part of these ongoing discussions.
Collaboration and cooperation between the public and private sector are key to addressing the problem in a holistic way. Some suggest a government role to subsidize the notification and mitigation efforts needed to clean up infected computers. In this model, researchers inform network companies (or they become aware through their own traffic monitoring activity) of IP addresses of infected computers on their networks. The network companies communicate with the customer whose computer appears to be infected and offer them a government- sponsored clean-up scheme, which they are entitled to use if they wish. Australia, Japan and Germany provide a collaborative framework that follow this rough model.
In the United States, search engines are already taking steps to warn users that their computers might be infected. In July 2011, Google discovered that some unusual traffic connecting to its search engine was caused by computers infected with a specific strain of malware. Google responded by displaying a prominent warning at the top of its search results page when it appeared that a user's computer was infected with this malware.
Despite these efforts, SIIA believes that there would be great benefit from further discussion of collaborative efforts to address this problem. We have several points to further the discussion:
* A voluntary code of conduct approach is preferable to regulatory intervention.
* ISPs need to be involved because they have a privileged role in the infrastructure.
* Other participants should include security firms, search engines and computer services companies.
SIIA welcomes this facilitation role in the case of collaborative efforts to manage the botnet problem. We urge that the agencies act as the convener and facilitator providing a platform for the airing and discussion of the views of industry, non-governmental organizations, technical experts and international participants. We also want to make sure that the codes that emerge from this process are voluntary self-regulatory standards, not de facto regulatory mandates.
For further discussion of the general problem of botnets, see Tyler Moore, Richard Clayton, and Ross Anderson Economics of Online Crime, Journal of Economic Perspectives, Volume 23, Number 3, Summer 2009, Pages 3–20. See also Symantec and McAfee, Botnets Demystified and Simplified.
Mark MacCarthy, Vice President, Public Policy at SIIA, directs SIIA's public policy initiatives in the areas of intellectual property enforcement, information privacy, cybersecurity, cloud computing and the promotion of educational technology.

The Most Dramatic Showpiece of the Spring
Blossom lovers around the world agree on one thing- the Weeping Cherry is one of the most dramatic flowering trees they've seen.
If you disagree, it's probably because you haven't seen one in bloom.
This spectacular cherry blossom is known for its graceful downward sweeping branches that are filled with snowy white blossoms. You get an explosion of flowers in early spring and reaches mature height at 20-30 feet. Makes a great focal point!
The white weeping cherry is a brilliant flowering tree that will add a unique accent to your landscape. It really attracts attention when its showy white blossoms pop before any leaves appear.
Owning one or more of these gorgeous trees will make you the envy of the neighborhood!
Weeping cherry trees should be planted in well-drained soil in a sunny area. The recommended planting zone is set for zones 5-9. Supplies will not last!
Due to the extreme winter season, all orders sent to the highlighted regions below will be delayed.
All orders are shipped the next business day unless your live in the highlighted regions above. If you do not live in these areas, but still want to delay your delivery, just call us at 800-399-9514.
We ship via FedEx. We've tested all the major shipping carriers, and FedEx is the quickest and most reliable.
You'll receive well-developed plants, not tiny quarts. These older plants bloom faster, give you more color, and require less maintenance. Don't be confused by companies that call little plants "big" or "jumbo".
Tree sizes listed are measured from the dirt line to the top (we do not include the roots in height measurements like many companies). Plus we will never chop your tree down in order to get it to fit into a smaller, cheaper box. Your trees are pruned throughout the year to encourage better form. This process may take us an extra year or so, but you get much better results.

Paramore Biography
Review The Artist (125)
Source: http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Paramore/Biography/
Although their spunky blend of emo-pop and anthemic rock eventually made them stars on both sides of the Atlantic, Paramore began humbly enough in Franklin, TN, where lead singer Hayley Williams met brothers Josh and Zac Farro after moving to town from Mississippi. The two Farros had a band that the 13 year-old singer was asked to join, and guitarist Jason Bynum and bassist Jeremy Davis soon climbed aboard to complete Paramore's lineup. Local hangouts and a school talent show helped the young bandmembers hone their chops before graduating to higher-level gigs at area rock clubs.
The quintet's pop-influenced melodies and earnest charisma -- not to mention Williams' powerhouse vocals -- eventually caught the attention of Florida's Fueled by Ramen label, which signed the band in April 2005. Working with producers James Wisner and Mike Green, Paramore recorded their full-length debut, All We Know Is Falling, and released it in late July 2005. In addition to a performance at New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival and multiple dates on the Warped Tour circuit, Paramore played shows with such bands as Simple Plan and Straylight Run. Hunter Lamb replaced Bynum on guitar in December 2005, and the band spent the following summer on Warped Tour once again, cementing their relationship with fans who had caught the previous summer's shows. Lamb parted ways with the group in early 2007 to get married, and Paramore continued onward as a quartet.
The following summer saw the release of the band's sophomore album, Riot!, which was recorded alongside producer David Bendeth and issued by the band's new label, Atlantic Records. Buoyed by the popular singles "Misery Business," "crushcrushcrush," and "That's What You Get," Riot! turned Paramore into industry darlings, going platinum within its first 13 months and earning the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. With replacement guitarist Taylor York onboard, the group toured exhaustively in support of the record, even landing a two-month jaunt across the continental U.S. with Jimmy Eat World. Meanwhile, Paramore found time to contribute two songs to the Twilight soundtrack, including the Top 40 single "Decode." A live album entitled The Final Riot! was released several weeks after the Twilight soundtrack, capturing the band's energy as a live act and concluding the touring cycle in support of Riot!.
Paramore publically struggled with fame throughout 2008. Of particular note was the attention lavished upon Hayley Williams, whom many media outlets deemed to be the leader of the group. Rumors of a breakup began to circulate, yet Paramore's lineup remained intact, and the band retreated to a California studio in 2009 to work on a third album. Following a popular summer tour with No Doubt, the group issued Brand New Eyes, a pensive record that featured some of Paramore's strongest songwriting to date. The album debuted at number two with sales of 175,000 copies, besting Mariah Carey's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel in the process. Corey Apar & Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

Paramore is an inspiring band. I agree with Reviewer Amanda when I say they show us that age is not an issue when it comes to your dreams. There are limits to getting there though I will say. They have achieved so much in these four years. Paramore is my favorite band and I will continue doing what I can to see them live. I have it hard trying to get around to see bands. But for them, I will do anything. See you soon Hayley!! Promise!!

Red Ruby | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/9/09
Ummm...who the hell said listen 2 david cook? Yeah he rocks, he may even be older, but he hasent been on the scene longer than paramore-and on top of that, Hayley has an amazing voice, dont bash her-she may not b ur most fav person, but really? She's not crazy, and she's makin money doin what she loves, so who are we 2 bash her? The fans, well, if you're a fan, keep rockin on, but if not dont comment negatively, everyone has an opinion, but opinions should be TASTEFULLY STATED
paramore is the best ever!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/9/09
I'm an absolute FAN of Paramore!! I'm kinda addicted...cuz I listen to every song by them everyday. Like right now I'm listening to Misery Business. Anyways, I love them and their music isss soooo amazing and deep. it always lifts my spirits wen I'm down or sad or anything I just kno I can always count on Paramore & their songs to make me feel better. And I know like all their songs :] they're truly amazing and I love them!!
Nice... | Reviewer: Just Someone | 5/6/09
It's not because I'm a teenager I have heard only couple of songs and like them allready because I have Riot! and All We Know Is Falling and I love them both,the cd's and the band,but her hair is nice =]
well I was just passing by but I like their songs a lot
the best band... | Reviewer: rodrigo | 4/24/09
To that that have okay... the pontless is that you have the guts to say that, please if you want to coment bad about paramore do it in another page please, also you have to hear (not ¨okay...¨) the album of The Summer Tic EP of this amazing band because is very cool!
okay..... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/21/09
yeah, so paramore is pointless. all they are is a bunch of people trying to be awesome and failing. i heard one of their songs and decided that they are so fake. if you want to hear real music, listen to Adam Lambert or David Cook. they have actual talent, unlike some groups (paramore)that don't deserve a recording contract.
Very talented... | Reviewer: Katie | 3/25/09
Paramore is a wonderful band, they're upbeat, they're positive, they're addicting...
The first song I heard by them was Emergency, as per most fans. It's one of their most popular songs.
But I listen to 'All We Know Is Falling' alot and I've grown to love every song on the album.
Especially 'Whoah,' 'Franklin,' 'Here We Go Again,' & 'My Heart'
I'm constantly walking around my house humming or singing their songs. They're so very fun to sing, very catchy. And Hayley's vocals are absolutely amazing.
Actually, I think amazing is an understatement.
I just kinda tire of the teenys that have only heard a couple songs, mainly the ones they've played on the radio, and are obsessed with them.
It's kind of ridiculous.
Or they like them just because the members are hot and Hayley's hair is "awesome"....
Come on kids, that's just ignorant.

The Hon Bar
|1002 W. 36th St.
Baltimore, MD 21211
More on The Hon Bar.
Despite the kitsch-fest at the restaurant next door at Café Hon (and its own over the top window displays), the Hon Bar has a distinct air of respectability. The décor of tastefully faux-finished walls, deco-ish light fixtures, and a copper-topped wood bar screams adult and so does the clientele. Everyone there seems to be a professional, or at least a grad student, or a professional grad student. On the recent Thursday night we stepped into the Hampden corner bar, live jazz added to the mature atmosphere--though the jazz was a bit loud for the small space. We were pleasantly surprised to see Brewer's Art's Resurrection on tap. We ordered two. Each one cost $5 rather than the $4.50 Brewer's charges, but the Hon Bar serves its Resurrections in a frosted pint glass instead of a goblet, which probably provides more than 50 cents worth of additional beer. The Hon Bar may not be a see-and-be-seen kind of place, but it is a relaxed yet refined spot for a drink and good conversation with a friend. And unless you venture to the restaurant next door, there is nary a fake-hon or dayglo beehive in sight.

Polymer scientists discover new nanolithography method
Nanolithography, or surface patterning on a nanoscale, is critical for modern technology, but has been developed largely for patterning flat surfaces until recently. A team of University of Akron scientists discovered a new method for patterning curved surfaces. The technique creates patterns on curved or topographically uneven surfaces with stand-alone nanoparticles, opening new technology opportunities.
Findings by UA graduate students Sarang P. Bhawalkar, Jun Qian (a visiting student from Tianjin University, China), Michael C. Heiber, and assistant professor of polymer science Dr. Li Jia are available in the Nov. 16, 2010, issue of Langmuir, a publication of the American Chemical Society. See Development of a Colloidal Lithography Method for Patterning Nonplanar Surfaces."
"Nanoparticles arranged in hexagonal patterns have been widely used for surface patterning before our work, but these particles touch and support each other," explains Jia. "We were curious to learn if we could use stand-alone particles not supporting each other.
"There are several advantages to this," Jai continues. "Among them is the possibility of patterning curved or uneven surfaces. Consider traditional photolithography, which is highly efficient in putting complex circuits on flat computer chips, but inapt at patterning surfaces that are not flat."
The challenge, according to Jia, was to secure the pattern against the lateral capillary force. When this challenge was presented to Sarang, his solution was to dip-coat a layer of polymer adhesive.
"It worked like a charm," Jia says.
According to Jia, the method is a breakthrough due to adaptation to topographic features ranging from macroscopic to microscopic scales. The team is currently working on fabrication of surfaces with a combination of several advanced properties such as self-cleaning, anti-reflection and anti-icing, says Jia, who notes the desirability of these surface properties in skyscrapers, aircrafts, solar panels and residential windows.
The researchers are testing their lithography method on large surfaces and durability of the patterns when subjected to temperature fluctuations and abrasion.
Jia adds that the next step for he and his colleagues, in collaboration with other experts, is to explore the applications of their lithography method in optical circuitry, imaging and sensing, and bioengineering.

Plan ahead to save the day
Yesterday I found myself in this situation: dinner time, with plenty of slow-carb approved food in the house, but nothing that could be prepared in the time available. I had 30 minutes to prepare and eat my dinner before leaving for work, and the meat and veggies that I could have eaten were in the freezer. Not enough time to thaw, cook, and eat before work.
I ate a grilled cheese sandwich.
Well, there's a better solution than going for the quick and easy, carby dinner. And as usual, it involved planning ahead…but I'm not talking about simply remembering to take the meat out of the freezer earlier. I mean making sure that you have slow-carb meals prepared well in advance, and preferably frozen in individual portions. Like a Lean Cuisine that you cooked yourself.
I've always been an advocate of preparing meals in big batches and freezing them individually, so that you never find yourself in a tight spot like I did yesterday. Sure, it's nice to have plenty of ingredients in the freezer, but if you don't have time to prepare them, what good is it? Last summer, when I did my "No Convenience-Food Challenge," the only reason it was possible was because every once in a while, I'd spend a little more time than usual cooking, and then I'd freeze the whole thing in individual-sized portions. Preparing meals this way means that when it's time to eat, you can have a hot meal on your plate in less than 5 minutes. Faster than a grilled cheese sandwich.
And, lucky for us Slow-Carbers, it just so happens that a lot of easy-to-cook slow-carb meals are also easy to double (or triple, or quadruple), and they freeze really well. I'm thinking stir-fries, Indian cuisine, and Mexican cuisine.
So, next time you're craving a tasty Asian stir-fry, substitute chickpeas for the more traditional rice, and double the recipe. The only other thing you'll need is a large number of single-serving storage containers.
I'll see you all at the Tupperware party.

…a man, a Quaker, came naked through the [Westminster] Hall, only very civilly tied about the privates to avoid scandal, and with a chafing-dish of fire and brimstone burning upon his head… crying, "Repent! repent! (Samuel Pepys, Diary, 29 July 1667).
For those who don't think that they are a breakfast cereal, or confuse them with the Amish, Quakers today are generally thought of as a harmless, if rather worthy, Christian denomination. Indeed, in Britain at least, the Religious Society of Friends, as Quakers are formally called, now appear reticent about appearing religious at all, feeling more comfortable to claim that they "share a way of life, not a set of beliefs"[1] and happy to include atheists and humanists amongst their members.

This is a delicious salad either as a meal on its own or as a side dish. At the moment it is probably my favorite and most common lunch meal. The ingredients seem to change each time I make it, but some of my favorite variations are: feta instead of cheddar, halved olives (kalamata preferably), button mushrooms halved and cooked in a frying pan with some butter and salt.
This recipe is part of our Memorial Day Menu.
These ingredient quantities are very loose, feel free to vary them depending on what you have available, personal preference, and the amount of people you're serving.
Makes 4 large servings (it's so good that a small serving just isn't enough)
- 8-10 Slices of bacon– Dry cured bacon is the best, but anything will do
- 2 Avocados – These need to be ripe and creamy.
- 3 Large handfuls of ripe cherry tomatoes OR 3 large ripe tomatoes – The sweeter your tomatoes, the yummier your salad. If you can't find any ripe tomatoes, omit them
- ½ Medium red onion
- 2 Large handfuls of grated cheese, preferably cheddar
- 4 Large handfuls of lettuce – We were lazy and used a store bought salad mixture which was baby spinach, rocket, and various other little green leaves that I couldn't identify
- Caesar Dressing, to taste
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Step One: Chopping and Preparation
Cook your bacon in a frying pan with a little oil. How long you cook it for depends on your preference. I like it crispy, my husband likes it chewy, so we cook it until slightly crispy as a compromise (that way neither of us are entirely satisfied). When the bacon is done to your liking, chop it up.
Chop the onions finely, the idea is to have they pieces small enough that they mix in and you don't get big bites of onion while eating the salad.
Slice the avocados into fairly large chunks, be careful not to make the pieces too small or they will dissolve into mush when you toss the salad
Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters if you're using cherry tomatoes, otherwise cut them into a chunky dice.
Wash the lettuce and chop it into bite sized pieces, even if the leaves you start with are fairly small, like baby spinach, it still makes for a much nicer salad if you chop them up into smaller pieces.
Grate a couple of handfuls of cheese, if you don't want cheese in your salad, feel free to leave it out, it will still be delicious!
Step 2: Mixing it all up
Put the lettuce in a large serving bowl, add the tomatoes, onions, avocados, bacon, and cheese. Mix it up and decide if the proportions of the ingredients seem right to you. Since we had found such delicious tomatoes at the farmer's market, we decided to put a few more in.
Drizzle some caesar dressing over the top, but don't put too much on, it goes further than you'd think. Mix it up again, the dressing should finely coat all the ingredients but not be gloopy. (However, if you like gloopy salads, then by all means, add some more!)
Don't forget to taste it. Does it need salt or pepper? Add if necessary (This will depend on the brand of salad dressing and the amount you've used).
Ta-Da! A delicious BLAT salad awaits, which by the way, goes perfectly with our Fool-Proof Baby Back Ribs Recipe.

text: On July 10, 2005, about 1730 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-28-180, N9233J, was substantially damaged when it impacted trees during the initial climb after takeoff from Elyria Airport, Elyria, Ohio. The certificated private pilot was seriously injured, and a passenger sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a visual flight rules flight plan had been filed for the flight destined for Plymouth, Michigan. The personal flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot reported that he conducted a pre-flight inspection and engine run-up, prior to departing from runway 9, a 3,053-foot-long, 48-foot-wide, asphalt runway. The takeoff was conducted with 10-degrees of flaps and the airplane accelerated and lifted off normally. The airplane was about 200 to 300 feet above the ground, when the pilot "felt" a loss of engine power. The airplane began to sink, and subsequently impacted trees.The airplane came to rest in a wooded area, about 600 feet northeast of the departure end of the runway.Post accident examination of the airplane conducted by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions. Both wing fuel tanks were compromised during the accident; however, approximately 4 ounces of fuel was drained from the carburetor. The fuel was "bright" and absent of visible contamination.Review of airplane's maintenance records revealed the most recent annual inspection was performed during December 2004. The airplane had been operated for 3 hours since the inspection, and a total of about 50 hours during the 3 years prior to the inspection.The pilot reported 225 hours of total flight experience, which included about 57 hours accumulated in the same make and model as the accident airplane.Winds reported at an airport located about 4 miles west of the accident site, at 1753, were from 20 degrees, at 7 knots. The pilot stated that the airport wind sock indicated that the winds were light and variable at the time of the takeoff.

In a minor move that could pay dividends for the floundering offense, the Phillies have inked 35-year-old Scott Podsednik to a minor league deal. He was recently granted his release by the Blue Jays. [Signing first reported by Ken Rosenthal]
Beerleaguer: This is a good move. I'd like to see him in an IronPigs uniform by Monday and in Phillies road grays for the start of the Mets series. Clearly, it's time to get serious about this offense. It starts tomorrow with Chase Utley's official return, meaning the Wilson Valdez and Pete Orr party has ended. Orr was demoted today. Podsednik can be another small step forward as long as he's over his foot issues. The sad fact is that if he produces a line anywhere close to last season's .297/.342/.382 with 35 steals over 595 plate appearances between KC and the Dodgers, the former All-Star and stolen base king can be more productive than over half of the starting lineup at their current levels.
The Phils will need to see if his foot has finally healed, a setback that cost him an almost certain shot at cracking Toronto's roster this spring. He was hitting .254/.366/.356 in 71 plate appearances with Toronto's Triple-A affiliate before requesting and being granted his release. It certainly sounds like he has something to prove. He was pursued by a couple of teams this winter, including the Reds and Angels, but the market, perhaps scared off by foot problems that started at the end of last season, just didn't meet his expectations.
The timing of this couldn't be better as the Phils' offense, and outfield in general, has fallen into shambles. He won't walk or homer, but I like that he's a veteran with some life still in his legs. He stole 35 bags and appeared at the plate almost 600 times last season. He's passable in center field, but definitely better suited for the corners at this stage.
Quite frankly, there's a decent chance he can be just as useful as Raul Ibanez and his intollerable .657 OPS, even knowing that Ibanez has had a better May.
The Phils already know what Podsednik can do. Here's someone who hit .300/.349/.406 against lefties last season. If healthy, bring him up quickly in this stretch without Vic and get him there against righties to start.
Weekend wrap: While I was away, the Phils did this: They took two-of-three from the Rangers, but were shut out again today. They've scored three or fewer runs in nine-straight games. A sweep would have been sweet; it would have upped their record to 8-8 during this recent run against winning teams. Instead, they fell to 7-9 with the Reds in for four. On Friday, the Phils sent Victorino to the DL and demoted Scott Mathieson. Domonic Brown and David Herndon came up. Today, Joe Blanton was officially placed on the DL with elbow soreness. Vance Worley was recalled and will start Tuesday.
... and of course, Chase is back. What are your expectations?

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - A green turtle that spent the winter months at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center is ready to be returned to sea.
The turtle will be released Thursday from First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach.
The city of Virginia Beach says in a news release that two Sandbridge residents who found her nicknamed the turtle "Makahiki," a Hawaiian term that means "New Year."
The turtle arrived on New Year's Day and gained 2 pounds during its six-month stay at the Marine Animal Care Center. The turtle is being fitted with a satellite transmitter so she can be tracked.

Well, maybe not literally, but the vibrations shaking the Kentucky State Fairgrounds Friday night were reminiscent of the roof-removing 1974 tornado. An enthusiastic crowd of seven thousand fans made almost as much noise as the huge trucks jumping through the air at the first performance of the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam event. Tickets are still available for Saturday's performance. (CLICK HERE)
Eight of the biggest, meanest Monster Trucks competed in several heats for high scores and a victor's trophy. The clear crowd-favorite, Carl Van Horn, driving Grave Digger®, excelled in every event. His fans celebrated his wins by waiving small replicas of his lucky "jolly roger" skull and crossbones black flag. Snow cones in commemorative skull mugs were popular vendor items.
Only slightly less popular with the audience were Greg Winchenbach, driving Crushstation, and Nicole Johnson, behind the wheel of Scooby-Doo™. With an elongated pink fuselage designed to look like a giant lobster, Crushstation flew through the jumps like some monster from the deep. And Scooby-Doo, replete with a big black nose and wagging tail, elicited cries of "ruh roh!" each time Mrs. Johnson pushed the powerful tuck into an almost vertical leap up the dirt ramp and over the top of the brightly-painted carcasses of wrecked automobiles.
By the way, don't think of Nicole Johnson as just a pretty face in Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam. This mother of two has a lengthy list of motorsports accomplishments on her resume. She has 17 years of four wheeling experience in her past and she has excelled in rock crawling competitions, which she first undertook as a professional in 2005. Not only has she been a big winner in the Western US rock crawling series, Johnson has also driven in short course racing on the Lucas Oil Off Road Series. Along with being a success on the track, Nicole Johnson relishes being a role model for the youth and brings her positive message to fans of Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam, and she especially focuses that message on the children, encouraging the sport's young fans to take care of themselves and make the right decisions. Johnson tells the young fans at events to respect themselves, respect others, and to know that they can achieve anything that they want if they make the right decisions and work hard for what they want.
Between the Monster Truck heats, fans were entertained by eight 4-wheeled ATVs, racing over a motocross circuit. The halftime show featured two giant—and marvelously realistic—transformers, in a battle to the death. The "good" transformer eventually defeated the "evil" machine, with flame and explosions; to the excited squeals of the thousands of kids watching.

Best Elf on the Shelf Ideas
OK, so I warned you on my first Elf on the Shelf post that I may be posting 2-3 Elf on the Shelf posts! I SWEAR this one is my last one (for the year…hee hee). If you missed my first two here they are:
Both of these posts I wrote as inspiration to myself as to ideas I could do for my first year of this awesome tradition with my three-year-old. This post is what I've actually done this year (some of the ones in the previous posts I ended up doing too). If you follow me on Instagram you already saw these. So here we go!
The first night Josie showed up, she came in on a sleigh and reindeer.
That day, for some reason, my daughter was having the WORST day of crying, whining, and tantrums. SO, the next day Josie showed up with this letter from Santa:
Josie was watching and said you were bad. She told Santa and it made him sad. You better shape up and all will be fine, if you want toys at Christmas time.
She saw this and shaped up! She has been pretty good so far!
Here, Josie roasted mini marshmallows with a couple of Mia's stuffed toys.
The next day she took a "bubble" bath in mini marshmallows on our stove in a pot.
She got creative this day and ate some candy and a made little mini toy car out of a mini candy bar, marshmallows, toothpicks, and a Starburst.
Josie was kind enough to sweep up the pine needles from the Christmas tree. Too bad she couldn't get the dog hair!
Josie enjoyed the SoCal sun this day. She laid on a kitchen towel and borrowed some toys (water bottle, blanket, Frisbee, and basket.)
Josie played dress p and raided the jewelry, mirror, and comb in Mia's purse (Yes, my daughter is SUPER girly).
Josie played a trick in our guest bathroom and had some fun with the toilet paper.
Lastly, Josie (the Elf UNDER the shelf) made a swing out of some left over ribbon and a toilet paper roll.
I promise to save the ones that I do until Christmas for next year!
Just in case, here are the previous two posts I wrote again:

Forever Together Lyrics - Randy Travis
Review The Song (1)
I took you for granted
So many years
I gave you no hope
Broken promises and tears
But when I was down
It was you who was there
To Pick up the pieces and show me you care
Forever together
Til' death do we part
Forsaking all others
I'll give you my heart
Through good times and bad times
Wherever we are
Forever together
In each other's arms
You seem to know
What we had all along
And you had the love
And the faith to go on
It took some time but now I realize
That I see it all when I look in your eyes
Forever together
Til' Death do we part
Forsaking all others
I'll give you my heart
Through good times and bad times
Wherever we are
Forever together
In each other's arms
Forever together
In each other's arms

Forever Together - An Excellent Country Piece | Reviewer: Sampson Adon Akor - Lagos, Nigeria | 7/7/12
Randy Travis has always appealed to me as an outstanding country artiste. The lyrical fluidity,sonorous voice,musical arrangement and sincerity of Forever Together are a reflection of the class and creativity of this gentleman.Not only is the music nostalgic;it is reminiscent of the confession of a repentant playboy who suddenly realizes his naughtiness and the undeserving love of a faithful heartthrob.
Sincerely, it is one track I'd like played for me on my death bed.And I'm forever grateful to Randy for giving us such a beautiful country piece. Welldone, man!!!

- Excellent casual dining but for one black mark...OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 11/26/2014Our server Susan was attentive, eager, and knowledgeable. Food was delicious. The only negative was I saw one of the servers drop a cheese grater with a thud and place it back by the cheese as though nothing had happened. We told our server what we observed and she removed all graters as soon as possible and had them replaced, but not unfortunately before we saw another server use the grater at a table of unsuspecting customers. Too bad; a disturbing blemish on an otherwise excellent casual special occasion meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We did the truffle tasting menu.SleshnycDined on 11/25/2014We did the truffle tasting menu. 300 a person. While they were certainly generous with the truffles, they didn't taste like anything. They smelled ok but no flavor. Don't waste your money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/24/2014Can't remember names, but much thanks to blonde czech bartender for her graciousness and apt service. Recommendations were great thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LualbanezeVIPDined on 11/23/2014It's good to have Babbo at open table!!!!.....but before it we only could book tables after 10pm(even if you call them one month in advance!)....and it looks the same right now.....I REALLY DON'T KNOW how to get a reservation for 9pm or 8pm...... That's why I have problems in having dinner at Babbo. I only go when my husband insists a lot, every 4 times we go to NY.if we could get reservation in a reasonable time ....for sure we'll go ALWAYS!!!I would recommend this to a friend.
- The bestOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/22/2014We enjoyed a wonderful lunch, delicious pasta with great service, along with a beautiful room - such a enjoyable time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedJustJoelDined on 11/21/2014The server and Maitre d' were more interested in turning tables than setting the tone for a dining experience. There was literally no down time between courses. When the server was given feedback, he offered an ingenuine apology. Very good ambiance, good cuisine, nonexistent service recovery. Darn these 1st world problems.Special Features:
- We celebrated my husband's birthday at Babbo.SpikeDined on 11/21/2014We celebrated my husband's birthday at Babbo. Everything was perfect. The waiter, sommelier and other staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. The food was awesome! We were fortunate to try "the first press" with Babbo's delicious bread. The sommelier's wine recommendations were excellent. I wish I could eat here every day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/20/2014Been there before, always want to return. Great food great wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Butter/Olive oil/CheeseMacostascDined on 11/18/2014I could easily have made my dinner at home in ten minutes. It had nothing special. I thought Kanye West was singing at our table! it was that loud. Over all it was not the dining experience we had hoped for.
- Amazing....MiggyVIPDined on 11/18/2014My husband and I haven't enjoyed eating out so much in a long time. You know you've found a good restaurant when you can say "this rabbit smells like my grandmother's kitchen." Everything, from appetizer to dessert was absolutely fantastic. You MUST get the Pistachio Chocolate Semifreddo...good lord. I don't even love ice cream and I'm still dreaming about it. The only thing that was a tiny bit awkward was the seating. The room is very narrow so I actually had to sit next to my husband, which was strange at first but you completely forget about it when you're eating because the food is so good it doesn't matter. Although, that type of seating can be "romantic" too :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Celebrating our anniversaryEnigmVIPDined on 11/18/2014The restaurant was very accommodating and the tasting menu was excellent. If anything, I will have to find another opportunity to try this place again with a group. The place was not as expensive as I thought it was going to be. But this restaurant treated us right for our anniversary where I will have to come back.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great italian dinnervenezuelanfoodieDined on 11/16/2014Dinner with wife in NYC, great. Good location and ambience. Excellent italian food, no mistakes. Good music; however, I would expect more soft, latin (italian, Brazilian) and jazz. It's worth the effort to make a reservation for visiting NYC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful dinnerAngieDined on 11/14/2014I enjoyed a beautiful meal here. The food was extraordinary and was the best Italian food that I have enjoyed in a long time. I didn't find the staff very warm and friendly but I could not fault them on their knowledge of the menu and assisting me to make a fantastic choice for dinner both with food and wine. All in all, this restaurant is a beautiful dining experience and definitely worth the wait!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We Expected MoreOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 11/14/2014My husband and I have been fans of Mario Batali's food for years, we have his cookbooks and have made countless fish, meats, vegetables, and desserts. We were at Babbo and were disappointed with the staff (curt), atmosphere (scruffy and tattered interior) and food. I had the guniea hen which consisted of mostly skin and charred. My husband had the veal breast, again minuscule. Mario might raise the price of the entrees and give his customers a real taste. For a well-known chef, this was poor!
- Perfect lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014I have been here a few times for lunch. They never let me down. Food and wine are outstandingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful N.Y.City lunchShawneeDined on 11/13/2014My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch with Joe as our waiter. We even had recipes explained...we cook at home alot. Could have used some gluten free bread for Holly, daughter. Thanks, Marilyn and HollySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing special.CarissimaVIPDined on 11/12/2014After ten years, I finally got around to visiting Babbo, for lunch since I could never get a decent seating for dinner. The space was nicely lit and I liked the larger place setting for two persons. Music was nice - not the head banger stuff mentioned in previous reviews. The food was good but not transportative. Crostini with ricotta and sardines very nice. Arugula salad ok. Beef cheek ravioli quite nice. Bucatini all'amitriciana was not as good as I've had elsewhere - the sauce did not show off the pasta (which was the slightest bit overdone) to its full effect. Nice wine and the tab was reasonable. An enjoyable 2 hours, but I was expecting to be enchanted. Didn't happen.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unpleasant and overrated!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/11/2014You have all these managers circling in suits, waiters rushing around - all with no smile on their faces make guests feel so unwanted in the restaurant. A very unpleasant dining experience! Food was decent but absolutely no wow factor. Overrated for sure!
- Strange Musicused2BfanVIPDined on 11/11/2014the food , service were impeccable, however the music ran thru elton john, aerosmith, john cougar mellencamp and lots of hard rock, all full albums . This seemed to take away from the otherwise italian ambienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and wine selectiongusleigDined on 11/11/2014Babbo is one of those restaurants you can´t find any mistake. Everything on the menu is great and wine suggestions are also superb. Not to mention that the prices are very affordable for NY. Maybe it´s hard to book a table but if you pick a late lunch or dinner, then it could be very easy.Special Features:
- To Babbo or not to BabboOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/10/2014While the restaurant remains a tourist destination, it is no longer the gastronome experience we remember from past occasions. The tasting menu has not changed from previous visits, offering no surprises and overemphasizing desserts while lacking a fish and/or seafood course. The service was somewhat rushed. We had just finished our meal when the bill was delivered without being requested! Hardly appropriate for a fine dining establishment.
- best italian in the USAOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/8/2014loved it! homemade pasta and dishes just like nonna makes :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticogenesDined on 11/8/2014It's worth the effort to make a reservation. The pasta is spectacular. They prepare things you can usually only get at home. I love the tripe!Special Features:
- 50th Anniversary Celebrationhgv631130Dined on 11/6/2014We booked to celebrate my wife's 50th Anniversary with our son and daughter, service, food and ambiance were perfect for the occasion. The Wine List is very complete for Italian wines, we were able to select "Vino Nobile de Montepulciano" which is hard in general, this was a plus since we have good memories of a trip in which we were introduced to that wine in particularSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MIchVIPDined on 11/5/2014Heavy metal music played while we ate. Very weird. Food was good but not great. Expected more.Special Features:
- Always a great experienceJackAMGVIPDined on 11/5/2014We are global foodies - and Babbo is a must for people like us. We love the innovation of a "pasta tasting" menu. . and the consistent execution!Special Features:
- WaitingGhbittencourtDined on 11/4/2014We've reservation for the 22:30, although we will be seated at 23:10 at least. Long waiting period!!!Special Features:
- Good LunchJANNYCDined on 11/4/2014We have been here many times but always for dinner. For lunch you cannot sit upstairs which is very pretty, but only downstairs , which is kind of dark and a bit loud with nice (but loud) music. The food was good except for my grilled Octopus, which was hard. The other dishes were arugula salad, beef cheek ravioli, scallops and beet salad. Very small portions but for us we prefer that, especially for lunch. Don't know if people ordering say only the ravioli would have enough. Staff very nice Would go back again, but for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Fabulous!GoodfoodDined on 11/3/2014This is the 2nd time I have eaten at Babbo and it never disappoints. Service was exceptional and food amazing!Special Features:
- Dinner date with my wifeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/2/2014We had very high expectations, specially given the fact that it's very hard to get a spot for two, and that it is one off the famous spots in the city. The two antipasti dishes we had was very bad one was returned to the kitchen and one we eat but it was really not an inspiring dish nor something you expect from such a resturant. The two mains were very good and the desert was ok but again expected much more from a place like this.Special Features:
- NYC Yale tripSusanGS1Dined on 11/1/2014Fabulous, fabulous food! We appreciated their moving us upstairs as initially the host sat us at a table right beside the kitchen door and under the stairs!Special Features:
- Wonderful ExperienceMCleeDined on 11/1/2014Dining room is very nice with a comfortable couch. My dishes Beef and dumpling were delicious and cocktail is also nice. Staff also friendly to customers.Special Features:
- great foodmashkaDined on 10/31/2014We returned to Babbo after 10 year hiatus. The food is still excellent in spite of other reviews that we read. However desserts unfortunately are underwhelming.Special Features:
- In need of friendlier wait staff!AdventurersDined on 10/31/2014My daughter and I went to Babbo for a special evening out. We were struck right away by the beautiful ambience. The Maitre-D was very congenial. I was disappointed, however, by our waiter. He was not very good at explaining food items especially to my 10 year old daughter. We navigated the menu on our own, and then asked for some assistance. The waiter provided us with some curt answers, but it was hard to understand him as he spoke very quickly and then hurried away. That being said, we ordered our food and enjoyed it. We found the Maitre-D extremely pleasant and many of the other servers seemed nice as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, But Below Expectationsgoalee111Dined on 10/30/2014We tried Babbo for a special anniversary, having tried many times before. Ambiance is wonderful, service spectacular. Dinner, while nice, didn't fully meet expectations, as the pasta didn't seem up to Batali reputation. Sauces seem to lack depth, especially Bolognese. The semifreddo dessert was absolutely divine.Special Features:
- Overall goodRex18Dined on 10/30/2014good experience overall. Just not what I expected. The roasted beet with ricotta didn't come with ricotta. Food did taste good, but it didn't stand out above the others. Try it if you must fulfill that desire, but I've had my fill.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/29/2014Outstanding dining experience! Strangely pretentious service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They turned it roundHeatherDined on 10/28/2014Our 9.30 reservation confirmed several times was not ready until after 10 which was a shame as it was my husbands 60th birthday surprise. But 2 complimentary proseccos took the edge off and an extra delicious complimentary starter went beyond the expected. Very helpful and friendly sommelier helped with the fabulous list of Italian wines and all food was exceptional. Glad that greed persuaded us to have a dessert as the saffron pannacotta was divine but so was everything else. Enjoyed the music as well as so much restaurant music is old and sentimental. Would love to revisitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazingase1707VIPDined on 10/28/2014I know that Babbo is Mario Batali's flagship restaurant and when I entered the restaurant I saw a crowded space with a scene at the bar that was overcrowded and busy, and yet ... the management does an amazing job. My wife and I were quickly seated upstairs and a waiter appeared almost at once to take our water order as well as our drinks. He allowed us as much time as we wanted to enjoy our cocktails, and when we were ready to order, he appeared and was very helpful with the menu. The food was delicious, the presentation was perfect and the restaurant did an amazingly efficient job of delivering the wonderful dishes. We loved our meal and will be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch at BabboPeterDined on 10/25/2014We had lunch at Babbo last Saturday. My own entree was pretty good, Guinea Hen, and my appetizer was fine too (ravioli with black truffles). My wife's dishes, though, were quite disappointing. Her appetizer was too small to be a real Buffalo Mozzarella (my wife regularly goes to Northern Italy and has some each time). Her entree, linguine with clams, was tasteless and without any sauce. Moreover, the wine list by the glass is very expensive, with an average price of more than 20 $. I had to settle for the cheapest one (at 16 $!), a Dolcetto d'Aba that was mediocre (too much acidity). Overall, we were not really impressed by this experience.Special Features:

Bielsa unfazed by visit of Valencia
Marcelo Bielsa has played down the significance of his Athletic Bilbao side's match with Valencia on Sunday insisting it will not be decisive in their season.
Los Leones are 14th in the La Liga table, six points clear of the relegation zone, and the Argentinian claimed the impact would be purely psychological, win or lose.
"Whatever happens, it will be exaggerated," he said. "If we get points the situation is softened and if we lose, it is aggravated, but numerically, we are in the same situation.
"Whether we win or lose, it won't change the situation we are trying to get out of. The feeling you get after a win makes you much more optimistic, while a defeat does the opposite."
Athletic face a Valencia side who were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris St Germain on Wednesday, but Bielsa believes they will not be affected by the result when they come to San Mames.
He said: "The result against PSG is totally irrelevant. If they had won, they would have come here stimulated and relaxed, if they'd lost they would come here down in the dumps and looking for revenge and to reclaim their place in next year's competition.
"Either result gives them reasons to want to play better. But in any case, victorious or not, they are a team with quality players and a top class side."
Midfielder Ander Herrera will miss the tie due to suspension and Bielsa said there was not one player who could fill in for the former Real Zaragoza player, and several players would have to share the tasks he normally carries out for the team.
"We have to try and get more than one player to do the different things he normally does," he said.
"[Ander] Iturraspe, [Oscar] De Marcos, [Iker] Muniain will have to try and pool their own characteristics so that his absence is noted as little as possible."
Valencia midfielder Sergio Canales said that while his team are disappointed with exiting the Champions League, they are now putting all their efforts into reaching fourth place in the table so they can compete in Europe's elite competition.
He told reporters: "We are very proud of ourselves, we tried to get through but it wasn't meant to be, and now we have to go for fourth place. The coach and the players are happy with our performances and we know what we have to do."
Andres Guardado is suspended for Valencia, while Joao Pereira is a doubt due to a hamstring injury. Roberto Soldado, who missed training on Thursday with flu, is also a doubt.
