Naisa- Lunch
Other than the giant snow bank along the curb to negotiate (not really their fault), we had no problem getting in for lunch. The place had only a couple of tables full when we got there, although people came in fairly regularly the entire time we were there, and several picked up carry out.
I was a little surprised by the menu, in that is was very classic Chinese dishes. For some reason, I sort of expected it to be a little less traditional based on what I had heard. You'll see all the classics--- things like chow mein, General Tso's chicken, sweet and sour pork and chicken, and even moo goo gai pan. I haven't seen that on a menu in ages. Maybe the dinner menu is more extensive, but the dishes for lunch were pretty old school. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just not what I was expecting.
Each lunch item comes with a choice of soup (egg drop, hot and sour, or wonton) and a little seafood puff. You also get your choice of steamed or fried rice. I asked our server which soup she preferred and she said the hot and sour (which I do like) but then told me about their wonton soup and the fact that their wontons were made smaller so they are actually more bite-sized. That sold me on it, because while I generally like wonton soup, I often don't order it for that reason---who wants to try and cut a wonton in half? The soup itself was very light and the wontons were smaller (there were three of them) and obviously quite fresh. However, it lacked much flavor. I think I would go with the hot and sour next time.
For my entrée, I ordered the garlic chile chicken which was sliced white meat chicken with broccoli, celery, baby corn, hot chile peppers, snow peas and bell peppers and in a thick slightly garlic-y sauce. The menu listed it as hot and spicy and I am happy to say that it actually was. I drank quite a bit more with my lunch than usual. It had quite a little kick. And I loved that the veggies were actually cooked a bit—so often the broccoli in Chinese dishes is so raw it is just too hard (and often too large) to eat. This broccoli was actually cooked to where it was still crisp, but also tender. The chicken was plentiful and balanced by an appropriate amount of veggies. The little seafood puff was more cream cheese than seafood, as they usually are, but was obviously freshly fried and super crispy. A great deal for lunch.
Hubby substituted an egg roll (they have spring rolls and egg rolls-the spring rolls are veggie, the egg rolls contain pork and are larger with a thicker shell) for his soup. He was impressed with it and said it was probably the best egg roll he has had. It was clearly freshly fried (can you say burn your mouth hot?) and had two layers of the flour wrapper—the outer one was fried super crispy, but there was an interior layer that added a nice chewiness to it that was tasty and different. I also liked that when you took a bite, long strings of the cabbage didn't come dangling out. They must have chopped the veggies more and I appreciate things like this.
He had the General Tso's chicken which is dark meat battered and deep fried and served with hot chiles as well. This is your classic General Tso's, with the slightly reddish spicy yet slightly sweet thick sauce. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a bite and it had a nice bit of spiciness to it as well. He ordered the fried rice (I had steamed) and while it was quite dark in color, it didn't really seem to have a lot of flavor to it really.
All in all, this is a great little Chinese restaurant from what I can tell. The ingredients seem super fresh and the food is clearly being made to order. We both proclaimed that if it was in our neighborhood, it would certainly be on our regular rotation for carry out. And hey, if you have been for dinner, let me know what you thought.

Good write up:) I've been looking for a new Chinese restaurant and heard a lot of good things about Naisa. It's a drive for me-- but for good Chinese food- I'll go the distance. Nice pics.ReplyDelete
Sounds terrific. I'm anxious to try it.ReplyDelete
I LOVE Naisa! We have take-out for lunch at work sometimes, and it's wonderful. I've been there for dinner before and their dinner menu is much more extensive. Everything is always very fresh and hot. I've never been disappointed. I just wish they were open on Sundays.ReplyDelete
Naisa is excellent!ReplyDelete
Two great things worth mentioning:
1. they deliver if your order is over $15 (it is one of the few non-pizza, and non-Jimmy John's places that delivers); and
2. in the event it is busy and you need to go elsewhere, you can always run to Siam Square, my pick for the best Thai in the city.
Great review.
I'm late to the party here but I just found out about your blog. I'm excited to see so many reviews of places here in town!
Anyway, I've been to Naisa several times, and their dinner menu is much more extensive than the lunch menu - it's worth making your way there for the evening meal.
I find it an OK place, but not the "most wonderful & authentic chinese" food many others - on other websites, especially - have said about it. (I'm Chinese) The food may be fresh, but that's just one component.ReplyDelete
huiray: would love to know your faves in Indy.ReplyDelete
Ate at Naisa for dinner, and I really enjoyed it. The Spicy Basil Curry dish was really unique and addictive - delicious! We also tried the Triple Greens in Garlic Chile sauce. It was just green beans, broccoli, and celery, but the sauce made it especially yummy. We unfortunately had no room in our bellies left for the Cinnamon Sugar Puffs with Honey Ginger Dipping Sauce, but we drooled over those ordered by the table nearby. Can't wait to go back!ReplyDelete

Chock-full of sentiment is the air. Heavy and opaque, it settles down and crawls near the floor. Forever shifting, never spreading. At least, not until a gust of wind creeps in and whips around the remains of a day or a life strung together like pearls on a painfully delicate gossamer thread. I see more valour in fragility than anything else now; the mere fact of an existence being an affront to probability, odds or fate. There's a fire in me that continues to rise. I stand beneath this dark sky and feel it course through my veins. I stand at the edge, my body steeped in a heady brew otherwise known as thrill, and prepare to take flight.
I've seen enough change now to know that given enough time, even this world stops disguising its narcissistic need to repeat itself.

"Best things to see and do in and around Geneva? "
Helmsley, United Kingdom
I'm going to be au pairing in Switzerland for a couple of months, close to Geneva. I'd appreciate any recommendations on places to see and things to do both in the daytime and evening, ideally that won't require having to spend loads. Relevant blog posts are welcome!
Need more information? Question already been asked? Let the poster know!

If you are 25 or less get a voie 7 card. It's only about 300 chf and you get free train travel after 7pm and half off every other ticket within Switzerland.
There's loooads to see and do.
One of the things I recommend is going to Gruyères in Fribourg, visit Maison Caillernearby and go to a désalpe. I wrote about it here on my blog.
Then I'd say definitely go to Montreux. Winter time's is my favorite there, it has a massive Christmas market AND the Château de Chillonwill probably have a medival festival going on.
Lausanne and Nyon are not to be missed.
You might also want to go to Zurich
image from swissotel.com, Zermatt
, Annecy, Yvoire, Interlaken, Thun, Bernimage from gimmelwald.com, Lucerneimage from switzerland-tours.ch as well. I've fallen in love with Switzerland it's my absolute favorite destination :)
Also, there's an Au pair group in Nyon and they organize cheap stuff for girls it's called Link Au pair Geneva.
first Sundays of every month museums in Geneva are free so take advantage of that! a visit to CERN is free and quite interesting.
Ask for clarification, suggest corrections, or give thanks!
Thank you, Maria. That is incredibly helpful :) ·

The Treasury Department has selected two individuals to be appointed directors of American International Group Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.
The picks are Don Layton, who retired as chief executive of E*Trade Financial Corp. late last year, and Ron Rittenmeyer, a former CEO of Electronic Data Systems Corp., the people said. An announcement is expected soon.
Treasury gained a right to elect directors to AIG's board after the government-controlled insurer last year missed four quarterly dividends on preferred shares it issued to Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Treasury recently held roughly $47 billion of the preferred shares.
"If selected, I would do it," Mr. Rittenmeyer said Thursday. "I believe in the company and it's a great company," he added. "I can do it some good."
Though the expected directors are Treasury's picks, AIG board members interviewed them and other potential candidates, according to one person familiar with the situation.
A majority of the directors on AIG's 10-member board were nominated and voted in during 2009 by trustees who oversee the government's nearly 80% stake in AIG and other shareholders of the company. The two additional new directors can be appointed by Treasury without a shareholder vote.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Jennifer and I both started the book, liking Bernadette and sympathizing with her but lost a little empathy about half way. This is where the discussion made a huge difference for me. Kareen had said that this is a book of Seattle and she thought the author nailed it. Many in the group were in agreement, plus as Barbara said, if you're a depressive person - Seattle is not the place for you.
We were sympathetic to Bernadette, getting lost in depression after so many miscarriages and a grievously ill daughter, coming after having a career high followed by a geographic relocation. We talked about Bernadette and Elgie's two careers, both genius but on different trajectories, how both isolated themselves and how that left Bee to become a parent.
The one thing that stuck in Joanne's craw was the house. She'd been in real estate in equally rainy Portland and was appalled that the house was ignored. She couldn't believe that no one could smell the mold and mildew. She said that the smell of a house in that condition should have repulsed the occupants. That was a hard buy-in for me, as my parents left the region because of my asthma. Bee had asthma and a lung condition that caused her to spit up spume. I wonder if this is more funny for Seattle-ites.
Joanne said she thought that Bernadette's wake-up moment was when she realized she had nearly given everything away to her Indian "assistant." We did think that as strange as the arranged intervention seemed to be, that was the moment that Bernadette got it that she had messed up her life and had to change. None of us were fond of the reinvented Audrey - too dramatic, too weird. That was a little out there, as was her whacked-out son who was dropped on the survival desert, and the ever absent Mr. Audrey. And wasn't it just a little odd that it was Audrey who abetted her escape from the bathroom down the ladder?
I asked if anyone thought Soo-Lin was a bit racist, the gratuitous Asian computer geek. They said no - she was genuine Microsoft geek. Jennifer wondered about why the author inserted Soo-Lin's pregnancy at the end of the book since it was dangling without development. The ending was a source of much discussion. Joanne and Maureen both pandered the idea that Bernadette could have just inserted herself uninvited into the scientific community in the South Pole. Oh and Diana got a kick out of us reading this at the same time that the Russian ship full of scientists was trapped in ice at the North Pole.
We loved the principal who was a steady-eddy in all the hysteria and the part-time school program developer, Ollie. At the end of the discussion, I realized that I had missed the fun of the spoof and I have first book of my summer reading already in place.

One issue that I encountered with MS Active directory is that typically the DN is set to something like: CN=Srivastava, Ashish, OU=MyDepartment, DC=mydomain, DC=com. The authenticate () method of LDAPConnection needs to have the DN and the user password. Problem is if you need to authenticate a user with his/her NT login name/password, the above DN can not be used. In AD, the login name is stored in sAMAccountName and not in CN. The trick is to use NT login name to search the user in LDAP and then find his DN to authenticate with his password. Following is a sample method to authenticate a user with his NT-login name and password. You would need one user account that has lookup permissions.
public boolean authenticateUser(String uid, String password) {
LDAPConnection ld = null;
boolean isUserValid = false;
try {
// -- Assuming a Pool of LDAPConnections are maintained.
ld = cPool.getConnection();
LDAPSearchResults results;
// -- Search for the user with the samAccountName and then find it's DN to authenticate
results = ld.search(BASE_DN, LDAPConnection.SCOPE_SUB, "(&(samAccountName=" +
uid + "))", new String[] { }, false);
if (results.hasMoreElements()) {
LDAPEntry entry = results.next();
String dn = entry.getDN();
System.out.println ("DN: " + dn);
ld.authenticate(dn, password);
isUserValid = true;
} catch (LDAPException e) {
// -- isUserValid = false;
} finally {
return isUserValid;

Nice Neighborhood
- Chicago cops are warning residents about a series of six armed robberies that took place in nearby Lincoln Park on Monday and Tuesday. Three of the hold-ups happened during the 10 p.m. hour on Tuesday.
In each case, a group of offenders approached victims on the street and demanded valuables at gunpoint. The men threatened to shoot their victims if their demands were not met, police said.

IT'S a well-known fact that if you get a group of monkeys together and allow them to pound away at typewriters for long enough, eventually one will write "Ulysses."
It's also true, although not as widely known, that if you throw a bunch of bargain-priced, no-name ballplayers onto a baseball field, eventually that bunch will play like a major league team.
Or at least, like the Mets on a good day.
Yesterday was that day at Shea Stadium when, appearing in place of the regular Mets, was a team of barely recognizable but remarkably economical players who put on a show frighteningly better than the one put on by the real Mets most days.
Fielding $16 million worth of ballplayers plus Al Leiter, the near-Mets beat the Brewers, 4-3, yesterday, before an announced crowd of 27,989, at least 10,000 of whom must have melted and evaporated in the 102-degree heat.
That $16 million represents a savings of some $34 million on the regular Met starting lineup – the absence of Mike Piazza saves you $13.5 million in itself – and believe me, whoever was in Shea Stadium yesterday couldn't tell the difference.
In terms of production and results, it was impossible to tell the cut-rate Mets from the real Mets.
"I like to watch these guys play," Bobby Valentine said. "That's a good team we put out there today. A couple of .300 hitters and one .400 hitter. Ain't bad."
The .400 hitter, Vance Wilson, tied the game at 3-3 with a scorching single to center in the sixth inning, and one of the .300 hitters, Joe McEwing, won it with a home run in the seventh.
On an oppresively steamy day, it was baseball of the most refreshing variety. And to think, if a comparable lineup of understudies had been sent out to do "The Producers" last night, people would have stormed the box office for refunds.
That option, of course, is not available to baseball fans, especially those who attend a day game after a night game in the kind of weather that would drive Satan to the seashore.
Baseball fans, even those who pay up to $45 a seat, have to live with what the manager gives them.
Yesterday, Valentine gave them Al Leiter ($9.75 million), Robin Ventura ($8.5 million) and a bunch of guys who wouldn't be out of place in a picnic softball game.
"Sometimes, I kinda like to play with those guys," Leiter said. "The bomb squad, we call 'em. They're every bit as good as the regulars."
Then why, you may ask, do the Mets and the rest of the league bother to spend millions , on ballplayers when clearly, thousands will do?
The answer, of course, is that in Major League Baseball, the thousandaire of today is the mega-millionaire of tomorrow, once they achieve those coveted milestones known as arbitration and free agency.
For now, however, there is just one word to describe players like Wilson and McEwing and Mark Johnson and Desi Relaford: Bargains.
McEwing, known as Super Joe because of his God-given versatility and self-instilled work ethic, started the game at shortstop in place of Rey ($4 million) Ordonez.
In cost-cutting alone, that is a savings of $3.748 million. In the field, McEwing handled five chances flawlessly and drove in the Mets' first run with a fifth-inning single in addition to his game-winning bomb.
In addition to McEwing and Wilson, who caught all of Leiter's 124 pitches plus an inning and two-thirds of Rick White, there was Johnson, who doubled home the Mets' second run and played an energetic, if not always savvy, leftfield in place of Benny Agbayani.
Johnson ran a long way to catch one ball he probably should have let drop, a foul fly by Henry Blanco that scored the Brewers' first run in the fourth, and ran even longer to miss one that he should have had, another foul by Angel Echeverria in the sixth. Didn't matter, because Leiter struck him out.
And when Valentine inserted Tsuyoshi Shinjo into the game in the seventh, Johnson moved to first, where he cost the Mets $6.5 million less than Todd Zeile.
Factor in the $5.1 million the Mets saved by playing Desi (.299) Relaford at second in place of Edgardo (.225) Alfonzo and it is clear that things can not only be done a lot more cheaply around here, but just as well.
Anybody got an idea how much it would cost to field a team of monkeys?

Air monitoring equipments for soil contamination monitoring
Previous land uses or accidental spills can result in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) contamination of soils. Volatile and semi-volatile compounds can then permeate through the soil and may persist for several years. This contamination can be traced and measured using our Soil Probes in conjunction with our VOC sorbent tubes. Soil probes are also useful in checking the effectiveness of remediation actions. This monitoring technique provides a cost-effective identification of hazardous gases.

Measurement solution for medical workplace monitoring
In taking a responsible stance on the exposure of workers to any potential hazardous gases, there is a need for workplaces using anaesthetic gases, such as hospital operating rooms or research laboratories, to control the level of waste anaesthetic gas in the ambient air. Anaesthesia machines, ventilators, breathing systems and waste gas scavenging systems will all contribute to te background level of he anaesthetic gases that are present in the environment within a facility, whether those machines are in a good state of repair or not. Recovery rooms can become polluted, for example from gas exhaled by the patient, and clean-up from any spills can remain in the background air for long periods.

A New Addiction...ACEO
What the heck is ACEO, you ask? ACEO stands for "art cards editions and originals". I've been checking them out lately and became fascinated and then quickly addicted. They are little miniature works of art, the size of a standard baseball trading card, 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". I bought this one today on ebay. Can you believe the detail in this little gem? And can you believe that what you are seeing here is pretty close to actual size? Amazing! The artist is Lara Harris. You can see more of her work here. I spent a lot more on this one than I normally would, but I just kept going back to it, and then going back to it again. Just couldn't resist. You can start your own ACEO collection by searching ebay here. And did I already say these incredible works of art are the size of a baseball card?

Another leftovers card. Who likes the simple cards best?
Leave a comment and let me know.
The sun is a one-of-a-kind, which means that I cut it out free-hand. Which means there are no two alike! I've been thinking of making some short video tutorials and such, I would love to show my good friends that come by and visit how I made the sun. It's easier than you think!

Last night when we got to Ricardo's soccer game I was composing the most brilliant blog entry ever in my head. Because something occurred to me and I was quite pleased and was going to share it. But the evening didn't end so well, so I had second thoughts. But now this morning, I'm realizing that the evening wasn't really that bad and so I should probably go ahead and blog it. And now I'm realizing that this entire paragraph was completely and utterly unnecessary. Sorry for wasting your three seconds. And the additional second that it took to read the apology. And the remaining moments it's taken to read the apology for taking time to apologize.
Anyway, we got to the soccer game around 7:20 last night and up until about 8:30 we had had a nearly perfect night. And I stopped to think that maybe even folks who have birthkids couldn't claim the following:
*Every kid in my van thanked me for supper.
*Nobody said a cross word to each other the whole trip up.
*They cleaned up their fast food trash without being told.
*People were being accommodating and cooperative in who got to sit where (this hardly ever happens with us. Where someone sits in the vehicles has always been a huge issue).
*Everyone was polite, respectful and calm.
I had six teenagers with me, ranging in age from 13-17. Five of them were mine, one was a friend. And one was Dominyk and one was Salinda.
Whether it's the fact that they are growing up or just that the planets were aligned, I'm not complaining. I'm realizing that maybe our years of persistence are paying off and that possibly a night like that could earn us a victory in a parenting competition. I was very proud of the kids.
Then after reading Cindy's blog entry today about how hard she has to work, I was again grateful for my kids. Of our 12, 9 of them have been able to do chores, and about 7 of them have not argued much about them. I have to remind them sometimes, and ocassionally threaten, but for the most part they can get them done. This is because I am intensely opposed to me doing much housework and thus I have forced them to do it. And over the years it has become part of the routine (nothing electronic after lunch in the summer until chores are done. Period). And so while deep cleaning doesn't happen as often as it should, the house is not very cluttered and I don't have to do it myself.
Another fun piece of last night was getting to know another adoptive parent. Recently she had become a friend on facebook, and she knew a few of my mutual friends, but we had never had a long conversation. I had mentioned on my facebook that I would be heading to the metro wondering if one of my old college friends might want to hook up. Instead, this fellow adoptive parent who may want to remain anonymous, agreed to come over and watch the game. She is telling beginning to tell her story online and it's fascinating.
We had a good conversation until Dominyk started getting restless and well, let's just say that Utopia turned into reality. But even so, the rest of the night wasn't that bad.
But everyonceandawhile I see progress. And that is encouraging.

Speak to me about your world today. Tell me, once more.
Ideally, you should quit this blabbering; though you love.
Yes, and more; you and me, swim in your world. Explain!
Once more it is, I guess, and then peace to you forever.
So, how did it start? No wait! Tell me your world in future!
Yes, future is in your little mind, and explain is what you want.
No, yes, you guess, and you and I were here and there.
You and I were once there and here then over and under.
What do you say I speak first and then you can add.
Add syllables of meaningless words to create nothing but you?
Me, a heart, full of emotions and yet you speak of love?
I listen and I quote, and I wait and I act, but I never mask.
A pathetic act is a mere mask, but speak of love, now!
Now is where my world is and start now to continue later.
No, the so-called future is what all you think and never discuss.
Then become a vendetta, a blabbering icon of lawless love.
A great story untold, I believe, fabricated to your kind.
My kind and yours will continue to exist inside him with love.
You, out of all the organs, should never use that word.
I understand! The mind is in combat against your heartily love.
Stop this and seize my heart and become me for now.
What? No! Why? Merciless! But, could you really believe this?
You listen and you quote, so tell me what have I said!
I cannot, though, what is the reason? Scared? No! No way.
Did you know that you are adding meaningless syllables?
Wait............ yes, we are we, you and I, entities but an entity.

Two friends from Kiev have sent me some of the latest, expressing the feelings of those who are horrified by what is happening.
One hints that the far right senses a chance for a coup. On Saturday, the leaders of the rioters – known as the 'three little pigs' (Klitschko, Tyahnybok and Yatsenyuk) – rejected offers from the President, with two of them to be given the positions of Prime Minister of Ukraine and Deputy Prime Minister of Humanitarian Affairs. Instead, the hit squads of the rioters stormed government buildings in Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhitomir, Khmelnitsky, Lviv, Lutsk, and Rivne, demanding the local governors resign. They have also established 'people's commandants'. Knowing that they simply don't have the numbers to win government, the only way is to work for a coup. Hence the constantly changing demands – reject Russia and turn to the EU, resignation of the president, and end to corruption, and so on. None of these are primary, for only the seizure of power counts.
The rioters may be claiming to represent the majority, even calling for a general strike. But they don't, points out this comrade, and their calls are ignored The majority of people in Kiev, and especially the populations of Crimea and the eastern regions, do not support the rioters. These people are calling for an end to atrocities, an end to funding areas from the which the rioters come, and the imposition of martial law.
So why oppose the rioters and appear to support a government that is pretty corrupt (but then, so are nearly all governments)? The ragtag movement that the rioters represent is clearly feared to be far worse. Another comrade expresses what are probably the widespread opinions of most of those watching events unfold in discomfort and apprehension. Neither the government nor the rioters can be trusted. While the government is corrupt and uses underhand methods, the rioters are worse, for they are led by the ultra-right and entice many people into aimless violence against the riot police. If the economy was bad even before the crisis, now it's even worse. Better to stay with the devil you know, I guess.
The big question is why the government hasn't simply called in the army and crushed the riots. Stun grenades, tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets really don't work in this situation. My suspicion is that it would lead to the breakup of Ukraine, but perhaps that's already happening: a small western rump of mostly ethnic Ukrainians may become a new pseudo-state (actually like most of those tiny countries in Europe that really shouldn't be states) and a larger eastern Ukraine that is much close to Russia.

A big apple! Sweet storage from Our Workshop
I've been spending a LOT of time in my office in the last few months. And my desk – particularly as it is not large – is always full of notebooks, Post-its, a diary open at the right page, business cards, to-do lists... all things that I need to hand, but which look a mess when I (finally) turn off the light and go and do something else. It'd be great to be able to bung the whole lot in something that would hide them all – if only for the illusion of looking tidy. And this lovely Granny Smith storage container, from Our Workshop, could be the answer...
Think it could also make great bathroom storage if you have a suitable shelf or ledge (sponges and soaps and razors are all ugly things to have lying around the bath if you can avoid it). Or in the bedroom to bung all your make-up in, or even the kitchen – for teabags.
Brilliantly, it comes in red, too, and in two different sizes: 20cm x 20cm for £20.50 and 300cm x 300cm for £43.

I should have known that attempting to make major changes to the blog on October 13th was a bad idea, even if it wasn't a Friday. Considering my knowledge of coding and any other technical-sounding thing is limited, it wasn't much of a surprise when Jimmy Choos on the Treadmill crashed on Saturday. When I get an idea inside my head, I want to immediately act on it, so I tried to switch hosts and assumed that I would be able to figure it out along the way.
I called a technician, but he didn't seem to understand when I told him that I know nothing about creating a website. Once he started spitting information about different databases and using acronyms, I hung up and went through a process of trial-and-error. Eight hours and several questions about whether or not my site was hacked later, I had some sort of website back up and running.
Since there was no forethought when I decided to switch servers, I'm still working on different design aspects—feel free to share your thoughts or suggestions! I apologize if you weren't able to access my blog this past weekend, but' it's hopefully working now!

The first round of planning: Christmas movies I want to see (at home--may later make a list of movies I want to see in the theater this Christmas Season). My mom, two sisters, and I sat down and composed this list of Christmas movies (Christmas movies being a loosely defined term):
Babes in Toyland (Does this one actually have anything to do with Christmas?)A Charlie Brown Christmas
Christmas in Connecticut
A Christmas Story
The Cutting Edge
The Family Man
The Family Stone
Frosty the Snowman
The Holiday
Holiday Affair
Holiday Inn
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
It's a Wonderful Life
Just Friends (This one was debated--I haven't seen it)Joyuex Noel
Love Actually (anyone happen to have an edited version?)
A Muppet Family Christmas (Don't know yet if it will air on TV this year:( )Once Upon a Christmas (Another debated one that I haven't seen)The Polar Express
Rudolph, the Red Nose Reindeer
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
The Shop Around the Corner
'Twas the Night Before Christmas (perhaps my all-time favorite Christmas movie) Sleepless in Seattle
While You Were Sleeping (always gets watched Christmas Eve with my family--not sure why that is)White Christmas
Don't know if we will get around to watching all of them (it's a mighty lengthy list)--I've made a good start with my post-Thanksgiving movie marathon--but now that I have a list and something of a plan I should at least be able to get in the most important ones.
What did we forget?

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are having a lovely time!
This year I am wearing Barry M's gorgeous Atlantis Aquarium Glitter Polish for New Year. I am so excited to show this polish to you guys. It literally looks like I have jewell encrusted nails. This polish is just gorgeous and it's Barry M so it was a bargain price and is amazing quality.
All of the differently shaped and coloured glitter particles really make this glitter so special.
It applied really nicely although you have to be careful that you don't overload your nails with too much of the clear polish. I did a lot of strategic glitter placement but it was worth it.
I wore this polish over Nails Inc's Black Taxi polish which I think is the perfect base colour.
I am extremely happy to be seeing in the new year wearing this gorgeous polish. I would highly recommend it!
What do you guys think about this glitter polish? I would love to hear from you!

Math is all around us. There are countless opportunities during the day for children to hear new math words and deepen their understanding of math concepts. The more we talk about math and share our enjoyment of the experience with children, the better chance they have to build a positive attitude toward math learning and learning in general.
Math-talk words are all around us. As you explain daily routines and experiences, you are discussing patterns. Numbers and operations are expressed when keeping score in a game using words like ahead and behind. Comparison words like big and small are beginning measurement talk. Take your pick, songs such as This Old Man or Five Little Pumpkins address numbers and counting. Spatial relationships are introduced when you verbalize getting from one place to another.
Math-Talk Moments
- Identify opportunities to use math-talk during your daily routines and experiences.
- Make a list of math-talk words and phrases. Make a mental note of those words and use a few of the words frequently for a week. As time goes on, new math-talk words can be added. You may even post some on the wall and rotate.
- Share your strategy with others. Others may have great ideas about math-talk too!
Information contained in this blog is borrowed from Spotlight on Young Children: Exploring Math (2012) published by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. More, All Gone, Empty, Full: Math Talk with Infants and Toddlers—Every Day, in Every Way by Jan Greenberg.
Greenberg is a senior writer/training specialist with the Early Head Start National Resource Center, in Washington, DC. Her past work includes product development, training and technical assistance, and teaching infants, toddlers and preschool children in regular and special education programs.

When putting together a formal outfit with a little bit of flash, turn to a bow tie to make your style stand out. If you're in a pinch, repurpose your necktie as a bow tie about as quickly as it would take you to, well, tie a tie.
Place the necktie around your shirt and hang it so that both sides are even with one another. Take the skinny side of your tie and pull it about 3 inches down, so that it hangs under the fat side.
Take the fat side and cross it over the skinny side. Do this as close to your neck as possible, as it will be hard to readjust later.
Take the fat end and pull it through the loop you just made, then push it through the front to make a knot and pull it down tight. Make sure it feels snug around your neck.
Take the fat end of the tie and fold it vertically, so that it is the same width as the skinny end. Take this same piece and fold it horizontally to make a sort of square. Bring that piece up to the top of your neck, and fold it across your collar lengthwise, so it is perpendicular to the skinny end. Hold this in place.
Use the skinny end of your tie and use it to wrap around the fat side. You can do this twice if there is enough room for a tighter fit. Pull this side down, and tuck it into your shirt so it cannot be seen. Push the sides of the fat end out so that they look like a bow tie.
Use a mirror to guide you and ensure the bow tie looks right.

The Yankees are a physical away from securing outfielder Ichiro Suzuki with a two-year deal but that doesn't mean their offseason chores are complete.
"We have more work to do,'' said general manager Brian Cashman, who is looking for a right-handed hitting outfielder and somebody to absorb DH at-bats. "But a lot of the players who were substantial contributors over the last number of years have been January signs.''
If the Yankees wait until January, chances are good Raul Ibanez, who signed in January last year, won't be available. The Rangers are interested and there is a chance the 40-year-old Ibanez decides shortly where he will play the 2013 season.
"The bottom line is that tomorrow isn't Opening Day,'' Cashman said. "We have a lot of time on the clock here to continue methodically putting this team together and hopefully putting something together that really has a chance to put us back to where we were last year, which is win the [AL East] first and foremost and compete for the [World Series] title.''
The Yankees contacted right-handed hitting Scott Hairston early in the free-agent process, but the ex-Met has been vocal about wanting a two-year deal and that isn't likely to come from the Yankees.
While it may not be the perfect situation for a 25-year-old player, one way for the Yankees to get Eduardo Nunez's live bat and body in the lineup is as the DH.
For $1.1 million last year, Ibanez was a bargain during the regular season and a steal in October. After batting .240 with 19 homers and 62 RBIs in 130 games, Ibanez hit .318 (7-for-22) with three homers and five RBIs in the postseason. He hit two homers in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Orioles, including the game-winner in the 12th inning after homering as a pinch-hitter for Alex Rodriguez in the ninth.

BrahMos Testfire in March
On the visit of Russian Defence Minister to the BrahMos Aerospace Headquarters, CEO and Managing Director of BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited said the missile's first test launch is expected in March If everything goes according to the plan, and will definitely be carried out from the Su-30MKI. Both the launcher and the missile are ready.
If test-fired successfully, BrahMos will be the first weapon system in the world to have such capability. As of now, there is no such weapon available in the world.
Jointly developed by India and Russia, the 8.4-metre BrahMos missile, the fastest in the world, has a flight range of 290 km and carries a conventional warhead up to 300 kg, thus delivering with high-precision, devastating power at supersonic speed of Mach 2.8.
BrahMos Aerospace has had to reduce the weight of the air version of the missile as it is to be launched from a moving platform unlike its land and navy versions.

II. Petition for Tolerance
In the Federal Register of May 9, 2007 (72 FR 26374) (FRL-8121-5), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 7F7180) by Chemtura Corporation, 199 Benson Rd., Middlebury, CT 06749. The petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing permanent tolerances for residues of the fungicide ipconazole, (2-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-5-(1-methylethyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl) cyclopentanol) from treatment of seed prior to planting, in or on food commodities cereal grains (except rice), group 15; forage, fodder and straw of cereal grains (except rice), group 16; cotton; peanut; soybean; dry pea and bean (shelled) (Subgroup 6C) at 0.01 parts per million (ppm). That notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by Chemtura Corporation, the registrant, which is available to the public in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is "safe." Section 408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines "safe" to mean that "there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information." This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to "ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue...."
Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and other relevant information in support of this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a determination on aggregate exposure for the petitioned-for tolerances for residues of ipconazole. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with establishing tolerances follows.
A. Toxicological Profile
EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and children. Ipconazole has low acute toxicity via the oral, dermal, and inhalation routes of exposure. It causes low to mild irritation to the eyes and skin; it is not a dermal sensitizer. Ipconazole may cause local, portal-of-entry irritation via all routes following repeated exposure. Systemic effects that were noted in dogs, mice, rabbits and/or rats following exposure to ipconazole were generally limited to decreased body weight, body weight gain, and food consumption; and liver and kidney effects. Developmental effects were observed only at the maternally-toxic dose. Ipconazole is classified as not likely to be a human carcinogen and there is no concern for mutagenicity. Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the adverse effects caused by ipconazole as well as the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document Ipconazole. Human Health Risk Assessment for the Requested Seed Treatment Uses on Cotton, Peanut, Soybean, Dry Shelled Pea and Bean (Subgroup 6C), Cereal Grains (Groups 15 and 16) Except Rice, page number 16 in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0226.
B. Toxicological Endpoints
For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no appreciable risk, a toxicological point of departure Start Printed Page 69556(POD) is identified as the basis for derivation of reference values for risk assessment. The POD may be defined as the highest dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL) in the toxicology study identified as appropriate for use in risk assessment. However, if a NOAEL cannot be determined, the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified (the LOAEL) or a Benchmark Dose (BMD) approach is sometimes used for risk assessment. Uncertainty/safety factors (UFs) are used in conjunction with the POD to take into account uncertainties inherent in the extrapolation from laboratory animal data to humans and in the variations in sensitivity among members of the human population as well as other unknowns. Safety is assessed for acute and chronic dietary risks by comparing aggregate food and water exposure to the pesticide to the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD) and chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD). The aPAD and cPAD are calculated by dividing the POD by all applicable UFs. Aggregate short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing food, water, and residential exposure to the POD to ensure that the margin of exposure (MOE) called for by the product of all applicable UFs is not exceeded. This latter value is referred to as the Level of Concern (LOC).
For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of the adverse effect greater than that expected in a lifetime. For more information on the general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/riskassess.htm.

C. Exposure Assessment
1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary exposure to ipconazole, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned-for tolerances. EPA assessed dietary exposures from ipconazole in food as follows:
i. Acute and chronic exposure. In conducting the acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments EPA used the food consumption data from the USDA 1994-1996 and 1998 CSFII. As to residue levels in food, EPA acute and chronic assessments used tolerance-level residues, assumed 100% crop treated, and incorporated model-derived, conservative estimates of ipconazole residues in drinking water.
ii. Cancer. Ipconazole has been classified as not likely to be carcinogenic based on carcinogenicity Start Printed Page 69557studies in the rat and mouse which showed no evidence of an increase in the incidence of tumors. Therefore a cancer dietary exposure assessment is not needed to assess cancer risk.
iii. Anticipated residue and/or percent crop treated (PCT) information. EPA did not use anticipated residue and/or PCT information in the dietary assessment for ipconazole. Tolerance level residues and/or 100 PCT were assumed for all food commodities.
2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency used screening level water exposure models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk assessment for ipconazole in drinking water. These simulation models take into account data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport characteristics of ipconazole. Further information regarding EPA drinking water models used in pesticide exposure assessment can be found at http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/index.htm.
Ipconazole is persistent and immobile in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Data are not available to estimate the leaching potential of ipconazole from treated seeds. Because ipconazole is persistent in soil, there is a potential for it to accumulate in soil on sites with use over consecutive years. Steady-state ipconazole concentrations in soil are predicted to plateau at 0.7 lbs a.i./A after 20 years of consecutive use.
Based on the First Index Reservoir Screening Tool (FIRST) and Screening Concentration in Ground Water (SCI-GROW) models, the estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) of ipconazole from newly proposed seed uses on cotton, peanuts, soybean, cereal grains (except rice), and pea and bean (dry shelled) would not exceed the drinking water concentrations previously assessed for the seed treatment for potatoes. Potatoes are expected to yield the highest concentration of ipconazole due to the high seeding rates. Therefore, the Agency incorporated the drinking water concentrations from potatoes directly into the dietary analysis.
For acute dietary risk assessment, the surface water concentration value of 4.589 part per billion (ppb) was used to assess the contribution to drinking water.
For chronic (non-cancer) dietary risk assessment, the surface water concentration value of 1.840 ppb was used to assess the contribution of drinking water.
3. From non-dietary exposure. The term "residential exposure" is used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control, termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
Ipconazole is not registered for any specific use patterns that would result in residential exposure.
4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider "available information" concerning the cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues and "other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity."
Ipconazole is a member of the triazole-containing class of pesticides, often referred to as the conazoles. Although conazoles act similarly in plants (fungi) by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, there is not necessarily a relationship between their pesticidal activity and their mechanism of toxicity in mammals. Structural similarities do not constitute a common mechanism of toxicity. Evidence is needed to establish that the chemicals operate by the same, or essentially the same, sequence of major biochemical events. In conazoles, however, a variable pattern of toxicological responses is found. Some are hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic in mice. Some induce thyroid tumors in rats. Some induce developmental, reproductive, and neurological effects in rodents. Furthermore, the conazoles produce a diverse range of biochemical events including altered cholesterol levels, stress responses, and altered DNA methylation. It is not clearly understood whether these biochemical events are directly connected to their toxicological outcomes. Thus, there is currently no evidence to indicate that conazoles share common mechanisms of toxicity and EPA is not following a cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity for the conazoles. For information regarding EPA's procedures for cumulating effects from substances found to have a common mechanism of toxicity, see EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.
Triazole-derived pesticides can form the common metabolite 1,2,4-triazole and two triazole conjugates (triazole alanine and triazole acetic acid). To support existing tolerances and to establish new tolerances for triazole-derivative pesticides, including ipconazole, EPA conducted a human health risk assessment for exposure to 1,2,4-triazole, triazole alanine, and triazole acetic acid resulting from the use of all current and pending uses of any triazole-derived fungicide as of September 1, 2005. The risk assessment is a highly conservative, screening-level evaluation in terms of hazards associated with common metabolites (e.g., use of a maximum combination of uncertainty factors) and potential dietary and non-dietary exposures (i.e., high end estimates of both dietary and non-dietary exposures). In addition, the Agency retained the additional 10X FQPA safety factor for the protection of infants and children. The assessment includes evaluations of risks for various subgroups, including those comprised of infants and children. The Agency's September 1, 2005 risk assessment can be found in the propiconazole reregistration docket at http://www.regulations.gov (Docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0497). An addendum to the risk assessment, Dietary Exposure Assessments for the Common Triazole Metabolites 1,2,4-triazole, Triazolylalanine, Triazolylacetic Acid and Triazolylypyruvic Acid; Updated to Include New Uses of Fenbuconazole, Ipconazole, Metconazole, Tebuconazole, and Uniconazole; and a Change in Plant-back Restriction for Tetraconazole can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0226.
D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children
1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(c) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA safety factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a different factor.
2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. Offspring effects only occurred in the presence of maternal toxicity; offspring effects were not considered more severe than the parental effects. Therefore, HED concluded that there is no quantitative or qualitative evidence of increased susceptibility to rat or rabbit fetuses exposed in utero and/or post-natally to ipconazole.
3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the FQPA SF were reduced to 1X. That decision is based on the following findings:Start Printed Page 69558
i. The toxicity database for ipconazole is adequate for the purposes of this risk assessment.
ii. There is no indication that ipconazole is a neurotoxic chemical and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study or additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity.
iii. There is no evidence that ipconazole results in increased susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction study.
iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure databases. EPA made conservative (protective) assumptions in the ground and surface water modeling used to assess exposure to ipconazole in drinking water. EPA used similarly conservative assumptions to assess post-application exposure of children as well as incidental oral exposure of toddlers. These assessments will not underestimate the exposure and risks posed by ipconazole.
E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety
EPA determines whether acute and chronic pesticide exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the aPAD and cPAD. The aPAD and cPAD represent the highest safe exposures, taking into account all appropriate SFs. EPA calculates the aPAD and cPAD by dividing the POD by all applicable UFs. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the probability of additional cancer cases given the estimated aggregate exposure. Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure to the POD to ensure that the MOE called for by the product of all applicable UFs is not exceeded.
1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into account exposure estimates from acute dietary consumption of food and drinking water. Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for acute exposure, EPA has concluded that acute exposure to ipconazole from food and water will utilize <1% of the aPAD for the population group females 13-49 years old, the only population subgroup appropriate for inclusion in an acute dietary exposure assessment.
2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to ipconazole from food and water will utilize 1.2% of the cPAD for all infants (the population group receiving the greatest exposure).
3. Short-term and intermediate-term risk. Short-term and intermediate-term aggregate exposure takes into account short-term and intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure level).
Ipconazole is not registered for any use patterns that would result in short-term and intermediate-term residential exposure. Therefore, the short-term and intermediate-term aggregate risk, individually is the sum of the risk from exposure to ipconazole through food and water, which has already been addressed, and will not be greater than the chronic aggregate risk.
4. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Ipconazole has been classified as not likely to be carcinogenic, and is not expected to pose a cancer risk to humans.
5. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population or to infants and children from aggregate exposure to ipconazole residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) enforcement methodology (AC/3020) is available to enforce the tolerance expression. The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; telephone number: (410) 305-2905; e-mail address: email@example.com.
B. International Residue Limits
No Codex MRLs have been established for ipconazole. No Canadian or Mexican MRLs have been established.
C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances
The proposed tolerance for crop subgroup 6C has been modified to reflect the correct commodity definition: "Pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C."
V. Conclusion
Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of ipconazole, (2-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-5-(1-methylethyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl) cyclopentanol) from treatment of seed prior to planting, in or on cotton, peanut, soybean, pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean (Subgroup 6C), cereal grains (Group 15) except rice, and forage, fodder, and straw of cereal grains (Group 16) except rice at 0.01 ppm.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.
This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this action alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition, this final rule does not impose any enforceable Start Printed Page 69559duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal Register. This final rule is not a "major rule" as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).Start List of Subjects

The AZZA Genesis 9000 full tower chassis is an extremely large, fully capable chassis that can accommodate some of the largest computer systems out on the market with considerable ease. And then adding to this chassis the capability of being able to handle a large quad 120mm radiator without any modifications is something that only a few chassis can even claim to of even remotely possible of being able to handle. Also, the Genesis 9000 chassis is fully capable of handling an additional 120mm radiator on top of being able to handle a quad 120mm radiator, so giving us computer users the capability of being able to use 2 radiators with this chassis. AZZA gives computer users the customizing abilities of being able to set up this chassis how we want the motherboard to be used, whether we want it to be reversed or in the standard layout. We are also given the choice of where we want the PSU to be mounted to, or if we feel it is deemed to run up to 2 PSUs with our ever increasing ever power hungry computer components we can, and that just adds icing to the cake.
The Genesis 9000 full tower chassis nearly excelled in every area that I personally look at in any chassis. Those being layout, installation options (what we can and cannot use with a chassis), stability, and finally size (room) of the interior. With all the capabilities of this chassis, I can only think of 2 areas that I feel AZZA needs to improve upon with the Genesis 9000 full tower chassis. The first one being the upper bezel venting system; these vents need to be more open to allow better airflow/circulation with our upper most computer fans. And the final area I feel that needs to be improved upon is the lower bezel front opening should be blocked off, or have an option of blocking it off. So if we choose to install a front PSU here, our PSU will not be re-circulating some of the heated air it will be creating during times of heavy computer usage.
As I mentioned in the introduction of this review, the AZZA Genesis 9000 full tower chassis costs $169.99 USD with free shipping from Amazon.com. Newegg currently has the AZZA Genesis 9000, but charges $171.58 and you have to mess with a $30 rebate ($139.99 after a $30 mail-in rebate with $31.59 shipping). Considering the price, including the shear amount of options we have with this chassis, and not to forget we have the option of choosing 2 different coloring styles of this chassis, White chassis with Blue trim, or a Black chassis with Red trim, makes this chassis an extremely attractive offer for anyone needing or wanting a chassis that can go above and beyond the call of duty.
Legit Bottom Line: The AZZA Genesis 9000 full tower chassis is a fully capable chassis to fit just about any level of computer user while giving us room to grow with our computer systems.
