The Ellwood House Visitor Center in DeKalb will host local performance group Wooden Box Theater at 4 p.m. Saturday for its production "Charlie's Angels Nite: Full Throttle."
The evening of theatrics, fashion, and live music will be hosted by Dan Sherrill and headlining band The Hope Focus, which also will perform original and cover music.
"This group formed specifically for this event and have shown such a daredevil attitude about their music and being in this show," Sherrill said in a news release. "Their enthusiasm is truly contagious. Co-hosting and debuting their band at an event that's written to show off the best rising superstars of local music and fashion modeling will be just the boost in confidence that will bring them even closer as a band."
"Charlies Angels Nite: Full Throttle" will showcase local fashion models in themed walks they created, a format that has become a tradition with Wooden Box Theater.
"Each year of producing these fashion shows as a theater group becomes more and more of a creative venture for the models themselves," Sherrill said in the release. "It's their creativity that is on display, instead of a set wardrobe by other designers. They end up learning elements of live theater, event hosting, and event directing alongside modeling."
The music lineup includes such styles as hip-hop, acoustic, and melodic rock. Scheduled performers include Daerielle Amber, Apex, Trident Deep, Miles Curtis, Jorden Sons, David Rae, Kvo, DJ Ames, Emily Nelson and Joey Gage.
Candi Jackman of Prairie State Belly Dance will perform belly dances. Brittany Todtz will display new photography, and there will be artisanal jewelry and other items for sale.
Several longtime Wooden Box Theater members will be inducted into the group's hall of fame. Scheduled to receive awards are lead manager, percussionist, event supervisor and co-director Jade Cook, and Brittany Pivonka, a fashion consultant, lead model, and event collaborator.
"Charlies Angels Nite: Full Throttle" will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Ellwood House Visitor Center, 509 N. First St. in DeKalb.ĀAdmission costs $5 at the door. Dress code is semiformal. For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/672342766145584/.

Effective January 1, 2015, you could face tax penalties under the employer shared responsibility rules of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) if you fail to offer health care coverage to your full-time employees and their dependents. These 10 questions will help you determine your company's risk.
1. What is the employer mandate? Nothing in the ACA requires an employer to offer its employees group health coverage. However, certain large employers will have to pay tax penalties in 2015 under the employer shared responsibility rules if they fail to offer coverage to their full-time employees and their dependents. A large employer will either elect to "play" by providing affordable minimum essential health coverage to full-time employees and their dependents or will "pay" a penalty.
2. When is the employer mandate effective? Final rules issued in February 2014 say that the employer mandate is effective on January 1, 2015, for calendar year plans of employers with 100 or more full-time equivalent employees. The employer mandate is delayed until 2016 for employers with 50 to 99 full-time equivalent employees.
3. Who is subject to the mandate? The new rules will apply in 2015 to employers with at least 100 full-time employees or an equivalent combination of full-time and part-time employees. As noted above, the rules will apply in 2016 to employers with 50 to 99 full-time equivalent employees. To determine whether an employer is a large employer for the current year, look at all hours worked by all employees of the employer in the prior year.
In determining whether a company is a large employer, add together employees of entities that are part of a group of trades or businesses considered a single employer under the controlled group rules of the Internal Revenue Code. All employers with a common owner or which are otherwise related under the controlled group rules must be counted together to determine large employer status.
4. Who must be offered coverage? Large employers will need to offer coverage to full-time employees and their dependents in order to avoid penalties. No penalty applies for failing to offer coverage to part-time employees or to spouses.
5. Which employees are considered full-time employees? The ACA generally treats anyone employed by an employer for an average of 30 or more hours a week as a full-time employee. An employee's hours of service include hours when the employee actually performs duties, as well as hours for which the employee is paid but does not actually perform duties, such as vacation, disability and leaves of absence.
6. Who are considered dependents? A dependent is an employee's child under age 26. The term dependent does not include the spouse of an employee. An employer does not have to contribute toward dependent coverage.
7. How does an employer handle variable hour employees? For companies with employees who work a variable schedule, the IRS has provided some optional safe harbors to use to determine whether an employee is full time. The IRS safe harbor approach involves a look-back period during which you measure an employee's hours of service; an administrative period during which you identify which employees qualify as a full-time; and a stability period during which those employees must be offered coverage. The way an employer applies the safe harbors differs slightly depending on whether the employee is a new employee or an ongoing employee.
8. What penalties will apply to large employers who do not provide adequate coverage? One penalty applies to large employers that do not offer minimum essential health coverage to substantially all full-time employees and their dependents. Final rules issued in February 2014 indicate that large employers with 100 or more full-time equivalent employees will need to offer coverage to at least 70 percent of full-time employees and their dependents in 2015, and 95 percent in 2016 and beyond. The no coverage penalty is equal to $2,000 annually for each full-time employee, not counting the first 30 full-time employees (80 in 2015), if at least one full-time employee receives a subsidy to buy coverage on a government insurance exchange.
Another, smaller penalty applies to large employers that offer coverage, if the coverage is unaffordable or does not provide minimum value. The inadequate coverage penalty is $3,000 annually for each full-time employee who actually receives a premium tax credit to purchase coverage through a government insurance exchange.
9. What kind of coverage must a large employer provide to comply with the employer mandate? Coverage must provide minimum value and must be affordable. To provide minimum value, a plan must provide for at least 60 percent of the covered health expenses for a typical population. Coverage is affordable if the employee portion of the premium for self-only coverage does not exceed 9.5 percent of the employee's income.
10. What steps should an employer take now?

Dear Hasbro,
During the Saga line, you gave us some great things with the Deluxe and Ultra lines. Wampa with Hoth Cave, Jabba and his Court Denizens, General Rieekan with Hoth Tactical Screen, and the Ewok Glider. Even the POTF2 Hoth Rebel with Cannon, Snowtrooper w/ gun, and Probe Droid were pretty cool. One of my favorite features is how the base from Hoth Luke fit in with the base of the Wampa and how FX-7 fit into the base of the Bacta tank Luke. Since you are reluctant to give us playsets, and certain figures may not sell well on their own, it would be great if you brought these back. Here are a few I'd like to see.
Luke with Moisture Vaporator and droid.
Yavin Hangar (Rebel Technician with tools and the pilot transport)
Various cantina patrons with the curved bar section or center island
Jawas with new driods from the Sandcrawler
Death Star Gunner with Turboblaster
Torynn Farr with Communications console
Imperial Officer with Star Destroyer computer console.
Han Solo w/ Torture Rack
Bespin Junk room (Chewbacca, a couple Ugnaughts, a conveyor belt and a furnace)
Funeral Pyre Vader
Jabba's Dungeon (BG-J38 and 2-1A)
Biker Scout with Bike
Ewoks w/ Catapult
Herme Odle and Yarna (if they aren't already planned for next year)
Emperor Palpatine w/ Throne
Thank you, and have a nice day.

I've written a new iPad app "Bokeh: a book about cameras" that is available on the iTunes store:
The app describes the internal workings of a camera. As you set focus, aperture, and shutter speed, the diagram of the internal workings changes, and the scene changes in real time to represent the new parameters.
I would like to get some feedback from the readers of this forum.
Any feedback would be helpful. If you like it, please leave a review on the Itunes store as well.

I do not have an iPad yet (my gift to myself at the end of the school year) I am really excited by the iPad 2's ability to project anything on the screen as I have been wanting an app that I can use to teach my photo students how various camera functions work within the camera, I can only do so much in Keynote presentations. Your app is so amazing and exactly what I have been looking for. I have really contemplated learning iOS developing or getting a grant to pay some developer because the app of my dreams would be something like this where the iPad screen is like looking through the viewfinder of an SLR and you could then teach students different kinds of light meter options. An example: load a Canon AE-1 camera profile, as if you are looking through the viewfinder and you see the LED lights for its Shutter Speed priority light meter. You could even use the iPad's camera to show you a scene and then would have controls for Aperture and Shutter Speed and allow you to simulate changing those dials and view how the light meter tells you the appropriate -stop. It might get too complicate to actually use the camera and display a live scene but could have preloaded images light your Bokeh app has. The most difficult part of teaching traditional film photography for me is getting the kids to understand various kinds of light meters as we use donated cameras and there are so many variations over the years that it can really confuse kids. Another example is the K1000 meter that just uses the needle to indicate exposure. This coupled with your interactive examples of focus and depth of field would be a godsend to us high school photo teachers. Thank you for what you do and hope you keep developing!

Product Description
Sold and priced per 6 pairs of socks of the same size and color.
Made in the USA.
- Knee length
- Wool is soft, resists odor, insulates, and doesn't shrink or itch
- Lightweight design
- Seamless toe closure
Made of 80% Wool, 19% Stretch Nylon, 1% Elastic
The original, easy care fiber. The crimp in the wool fiber causes it to act like a tiny spring, but coils back to its original position. It features inherent qualities such as wrinkle resistance, colorfastness, shape recovery (resilience), and it breathes with your body. It can be knit in various weights to provide increasing levels of insulation for every temperature. Wool yarn, when knit into a thicker sock, tends to be bulky and lofty. Air becomes entrapped, and it becomes an ideal insulator. Wool socks also keep feet drier because wool absorbs as much as 30% of its own weight in moisture before it begins to feel damp.
Stretch Nylon:
Continuous nylon filaments that are crimped and heat set to provide elasticity. Due to the relatively high level of elasticity imparted to nylon after it is crimped and heat set, it is very commonly utilized to make stretch socks in combination with other yarns.
A rubber or spandex (synthetic elastic) that provides extreme stretch and recovery. It is usually wrapped with a man-made filament yarn in order to provide consistency in its stretch and recovery.

Great idea Carol!
Wooden candle sticks also make great hat stands.... I found a pretty one (tall and ornate) at the thrift store and painted it then added a styrofoam ball wrapped in batting and then a pretty fabric and now I have a great hat stand.
Can't wait to meet you at the Fancy Flea! Hubby & I will be there to shop for goodies.

Oh My Gosh Carol Sweetie...
What a gorgeous idea, and to think I tossed out 2 of these darn things just a couple of months ago, as I figured I would no longer use them. Now I am going to have to go back to the Thrift Store and buy them back.
I love the vintage looking one with the sheet music. How romantic is that? Marydon would love the one with the little pink roses. So romantic they are.
Thank you for sharing sweet friend. (I tried to get my dress form posted, and I didn't make it, but she will be appearing soon I am sure. Minnie was a little disappointed in me to say the least.)
Have a glorious day sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry - February 16, 2012 at 12:25 PM

Auntie Carol,
I do believe I get ALL of my Creative Genius from you.... I MUST!!! these look a bit familiar... Maybe I saw them while I was peaking around in your closets when I said I just needed to use the restroom really quick... :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE these and I will never look at a Paper Towel Holder the same... Not to mention I am now VERY sad that I gave mine away a few years ago.... Do you think they will give it back.... :)
I am CERTAINLY going to make one or some of these.. Thank you for sharing it with us.. - February 16, 2012 at 12:55 PM

Sweet Carol, you are so full of ideas. I would love to be inside your head for just one day. Oh, the wonderful things I could accomplish!
Thanks for the many ideas. The hat rack is wonderful. Of course you know, I will never be able to find a paper towel holder. Everyone will be grabbing them up for hat racks! LOL

Yes! I have done this very thing with a paper towel holder. I display my hats when I do vintage clothing and accessories speaking programs for ladies' groups. I have been thinking, though, of brisking up a number of pieces that are a bit dilapidated and possibly - eventually - maybe - starting an Etsy shop of my own. I look forward to seeing your creations at the Polka Dot Closet!!

What a great idea, Carol. I actually have one of those very paper towel holders around here. I used to use it to hold the girls' scrunchies when they were little. I'm picturing it in my older daughter's (former) room. She is a hat gal so I have plenty to display.

I luuuuuuuuuuuuurve hats, I think this stems from my late mum as she also liked hats and was a buyer for a shop in town, many many years ago. I loved my hats I wore at our 2 daughters weddings.

I may try this is I can find the wood pt holder. Cool!

PennFuture Opposes Bill to Restrict Citizens' Rights; Proposed Legislation Passes Committee Without Hearings, Despite Voters' Demand for Open Government
Apr 17, 2007, 01:00 ET from PennFuture
HARRISBURG, Pa., April 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future (PennFuture) declared its opposition to SB 354, passed today by the Pennsylvania Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. The legislation will restrict citizens' rights to ask for relief from pollution. "Even though the voters clearly demanded a more open process with more citizen involvement, Senator Mary Jo White (R-Venango) has sponsored legislation to narrow and restrict citizens' rights to petition their government for rules protecting the environment," said John Hanger, president and CEO of Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future. "And in a move steeped with irony, Senator White's committee did not even hold public hearings on this legislation. "Apparently testimony from the public on a bill that would restrict the public's involvement would be inconvenient, to say the least. "SB 354 is totally unnecessary legislation. The current law allowing citizens to petition the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) for pollution protection works fine, as the 11,000 Pennsylvanians who publicly supported mercury control rules showed last year," continued Hanger. "But that successful petition and others were anathema to the polluters, whose public comments indicated that they felt the system empowers citizens too much. So some are rushing this attack on citizens' rights through, without any opportunity for public hearings. "But citizens should continue to have the right to ask for protection from all pollution, from diesel soot to heat-trapping gases that cause global warming, and everything in between. There is nothing to fear from allowing citizens to petition their government on any matter," said Hanger. SB 354 would restrict citizens' rights to petition for relief from pollution by narrowing the petition rights to only pollutants that are already specifically regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) or are already covered by federal or state statutes. This move comes after an unprecedented citizen campaign, led by PennFuture, successfully petitioned the EQB to adopt strong protections against toxic mercury spewed into the air by outdated power plants. Opponents failed in every attempt to stop these new regulations over the 18 month campaign. PennFuture is a statewide public interest membership organization that advances policies to protect and improve the state's environment and economy. With offices in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and West Chester, PennFuture's activities include litigating cases before regulatory bodies and in local, state and federal courts, advocating and advancing legislative action on a state and federal level, public education and assisting citizens in public advocacy.

Individuals with metabolic diseases are at a higher risk of developing atherosclerosis, a leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Earlier studies have linked dyslipidemia to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. However, recent clinical studies raised concerns about the efficacy of lowering plasma cholesterol levels in the progression of atherosclerosis. Although insulin resistance is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, whether it leads to atherosclerosis independently of its accompanying dyslipidemia remains unclear, largely because of the lack of a suitable animal model to address this question. The CarcinoEmbryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (CEACAM1) regulates insulin sensitivity by promoting insulin clearance in liver. Accordingly, global null deletion of Ceacam1 gene impairs hepatic insulin clearance and causes hyperinsulinemia, which in turn, results in systemic insulin resistance. Preliminary data show: (i) that global Cc1-/- null mice develop early atherosclerotic lesions and vascular dysfunction even under normal feeding conditions, and (ii) that this occurs in the absence of hyperlipidemia, despite VLDL/LDL cholesterol levels that are usually associated with atherosclerosis regression, not development. This unique animal model of atherogenesis with isolated insulin resistance in the absence of hyperlipidemia demonstrates that systemic insulin resistance resulting from hyperinsulinemia leads to vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis in the absence of hyperlipidemia. Because phosphorylation of CEACAM1 by both insulin and VEGF receptors regulates Akt1 activation of endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS), an essential step in mediating endothelial function, it is reasonable to propose that CEACAM1 is the shared downstream element in VEGF and insulin signaling in endothelial cells, whose inactivation impinges upon both pathways and causes endothelial dysfunction in insulin resistance. To test this hypothesis, the regulatory effect of CEACAM1 on insulin action along the liver/endothelial cell axis will be investigated.
Aim 1 examines whether hyperinsulinemia caused by impaired hepatic insulin clearance, alters insulin action in the endothelial cell, and in this cell-nonautonomous fashion, initiates atheroma development.
Aim 2 examines whether altered signaling through CEACAM1-dependent pathways disrupts the endothelial cell's response to insulin and VEGF, and in this cell-autonomous fashion, drives endothelial dysfunction and initiates atherosclerosis. To investigate the specific role of hepatic and endothelial cell CEACAM1 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, a newly generated set of unique animal models of loss-of-function and gain-of-function will be used. Answering these questions will delineate new CEACAM1-dependent mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis along the liver/endothelial cell axis, and pinpoint sites of pharmacologic intervention.
Individuals with metabolic syndrome are at a higher risk of developing atherosclerosis, a leading cause of death in the United States. A strategy based on lowering blood cholesterol has been shown to be of limited value in stopping progression of atherosclerosis in patients with metabolic syndrome. Building on the pioneering work on the role of CEACAM1 in the regulation of insulin metabolism in liver, new compelling evidence is now presented to link its regulatory role of systemic insulin resistance to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This proposal seeks to explore this mechanistic link with an eye on developing a more effective therapeutic strategy against the disease.

An inquest into the deaths of a young mother and her newborn son has heard how hospital staff may have been able to diagnose her condition - had they received her earlier.
The coronial inquest being held in Hamilton is investigating how the 20-year-old Casey Nathan died on May 21, 2012.
It is also looking into the death of her son Kymani who died two days later.
The inquest heard how midwives at the Huntly Birthcare Centre had difficulty securing an intravenous line into Ms Nathan but did not seek further help from staff at Waikato Hospital.
It also heard that Ms Nathan's midwife's clinical notes appeared to be lacking when she arrived at Waikato Hospital.
Waikato Hospital anaesthetist Dr Aidan O'Donnell said Ms Nathan was haemorrhaging severely having lost two litres of blood.
"She was a class 4 haemorrhage which is the most severe...I believed the haemorrhage was the sole cause of her condition at the time."
Dr O'Donnell said it appeared Ms Nathan had lost more blood than what had been described in the clinical notes that came with her.
He was told she had lost 1 to 1.5 litres of blood but if that was the case she would have responded well to blood transfusions.
"Casey in my opinion had not lost enough blood for how sick she appeared to be. The other manifestations are explained by amniotic fluid embolism AFE - in other words this was not just a haemorrhage."
AFE is a rare and unexpected complication when it's believed amniotic fluid, fetal cells, hair or other debris enter the mother's circulation and cause cardio-respiratory collapse.
"It (AFE) is like a bush fire, once it has taken hold, you can only attempt to keep the flames out and prevent it from spreading," said Dr O'Donnell.
Asked by Coroner Garry Evans if Ms Nathan arriving at hospital earlier would have helped diagnose her AFE, Dr O'Donnell said it was possible.
"I'm reasonably sure that if we had access to Casey earlier then we would have considered AFE as a possibility."
The inquest, which is set down until next Monday, heard how Kymani suffered brain damage during delivery.

If you want to understand how we live as technosocially connected citizens in today's society then Dictionary of Cyborg Anthropology is for you to get. In this book, Amber Case illustrates the concept of how we've become augmented humans or cyborgs. The definition is not based on the idea of a half man/machine character but more of how we interact with technology and how we communicate with one another through technology. Some of the topics that the book will cover are online human behavior, human/computer relationships, interface interaction, mobile technology, the second self, time and space compression, hyperlinked memories, panic architecture, mobile technology, interface evaporation and how technology is changing the way we live.
If you don't know who Amber Case is, she's a Cyborg Anthropologist and UX Designer from Portland, Oregon. Her main focus is applying anthropology to mobile computing and social software. Amber has spoken at various industry conferences including MIT's Futures of Entertainment and Inverge: The Interactive Convergence Conference, Ignite Portland and Ignite Boulder. Amber also co-founded CyborgCamp, an unconference on the future of humans and technology. In 2010 she was named one of Fast Company's Most Influential Women in Tech.

Children are more likely than adults to get an environmental illness, because they are still developing. Also, some ways that children behave, such as crawling and putting things in their mouths, can expose them to dangerous substances. Children in urban areas are most affected by environmental illnesses. The prevalence and number of deaths from asthma is highest among poor urban children. Because of their exposure to pollutants, allergens, cigarette smoke, pesticides, lead, and toxins in our environment, research shows that children may be increasingly affected by:
- Asthma. In the past 15 years, the number of children with asthma has more than doubled. Now, more than 7 million children younger than 18 have this disease.1 Each year asthma accounts for about 14 million missed school days.2
- Childhood cancer. From 1975 to 1990, the number of children with cancer increased, but the childhood cancer rate has stayed the same since 1990. Leukemias and central nervous system tumors are the most common types of cancer in children.2
- Developmental disorders. Some developmental disabilities in children can be caused by infections or exposure to toxic chemicals before or after birth.
Some environmental factors affecting children's health include:
- Air pollution. Air pollutants found indoors and outdoors may harm the lungs of children and lead to breathing problems, such as asthma. Some substances that might cause problems include pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and ozone.2
- Lead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 out of 20 children in the United States has elevated levels of lead in his or her blood, which can cause developmental problems. The most common sources of lead are lead-based paint, dust, toy jewelry, and some imported toys. In 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found high lead content in many children's toys and jewelry made in other countries. For a complete list of recalled products, see the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov.
- Pesticides. There are more than 1,055 substances used as pesticides in the U.S.3 Children can get exposed to pesticides in food, from products used in the house or on yards or parks, and in water. Problems that can be caused by pesticide exposure include skin rashes, nerve damage, and cancer. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have as little exposure to pesticides as possible.4
Evaluate your home and your child's school for toxic chemicals and other hazards
Parents may be concerned that their children are being exposed to environmental hazards at home and in school. Think about the following questions, and talk to your child's doctor if you are worried your child may be at risk for environmental illnesses:
- What is the condition of your home? Is there peeling leaded paint or mold growth from water damage?
- Are you renovating your home? This could cause exposure to lead paint or other toxic substances.
- How do you heat your home? Are your heating sources properly maintained and vented? Do you use a fireplace or woodstove? Do you use a gas stove for cooking?
- Do you have carbon monoxide and smoke detectors?
- Do you use pesticides inside or around your home?
- Do you use glues or paints, solvents, or other chemicals for hobbies or crafts?
- Do you possibly bring home toxic substances on your clothes or shoes from your workplace?
- Are there renovations in progress at your children's schools? Does your child have symptoms that get worse or better at school?
- Do you live near a chemical plant or hazardous waste site? Have there been any chemical leaks in your area lately?
- Do you smoke in your home, car, or elsewhere around your children? Do other family members smoke?

The Minnesota Vikings have what every team, every kid, every fan dreams about. All they have to do is win today and they are in the playoffs. On top of that, the team they face is their biggest rival, the Green Bay Packers. Oh yeah, in case that's not enough, Adrian Peterson has a chance to break Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record. Yes, the Vikings and their fans have plenty to be jacked up about.
Common sense would say that if AD rushes for over 200 yards Minny would win, but he did that in Green Bay and the Vikings still lost. No, the key to Minnesota winning will be how much pressure they apply to Aaron Rodgers. Jared Allen and Co. will dictate how this game goes. If they can hit Rodgers early and often, Minnesota will have a good chance to win.
The Vikings' offense is the wild card in this game. AP will run….., and run…, and run again, but Christian Ponder has to complete at least a few passes to take some of the pressure off of Peterson. Adrian is almost certain to crack the 2,000 yard barrier, and has a realistic shot at breaking Dickerson's record, but that alone will not insure a Minnesota victory. The Vikings, and especially Ponder, have to protect the ball. A few weeks ago Minnesota had a chance to win at Lambeau Field, but the QB made some horrible decisions in the red zone and the Vikings lost.
For the first time in three years the Vikings have a game that really matters, and it's at home. I expect AD to run for at least 150 yards, though I am not sure about the 208 he needs to break the record. The Packer's defense is not very good against the run, but 200+ yards is a lot against anybody. The more important mater is whether or not Minnesota will win. They can, but will they. As much as they hand the ball to AP, the game will come down to Ponder and the decisions he makes. That is a scary concept to anybody familiar with the Vikings.

Difference between revisions of "Wikitravel:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense/Risa"
Revision as of 14:33, 7 October 2007
With great food, a tropical climate, fascinating culture and, hey, great beaches, Risa is a magnet for travellers the galaxy over.
ContentsMajor DestinationsGalartha - Popular with rock climbers Suraya Bay - Famous resort. Johnathon Archer, a famous starfleet captin expressed a desire to vist here. Temtibi Lagoon - Famous for its facinating dual-sunset views Banc de sable - A small island once popular with starfleet exploreres as quiet getaway with great parties under DFM (Double Full Moon). Since then however it has become a lot more commerilised and the parties have hugley grown with the main attendees now being Gap Year Students from Star Fleet Academy. UnderstandDue to the advanced weather modification network the climite here is perfect. The natural climate is extremley volitalie and for many years before the weather modification network was brought in, Risa would be an extremley unpleasnt place to be. Coincidentally, the name Risa also exists in an early Earth dialect called "spanish". In this language the word "risa" translates as "laughter".
TalkThanks to a full universal translation system in operation communication should not a be a problem. It is however advised you be aware that when communicating matters releated to sexual behavior, Risians tend to be a lot more open about such topics then most other cultures. Get inMany daily shuttles come in and out of Risa, with espically frequent services to and from the Sol sytem. It is recommended you check with the Risa control access terminal for comprhensive information.
Get aroundPublic transporters and shuttle services are in abudance, and with the warm and friendly nature of Risans you should not find transportation a problem on Risa. SeeAmong the beaches & rainforests, Hill tribes are another major attraction. The ethics of hill-tribe trekking are somewhat questionable, with tour groups tramping through some villages daily - particularly those inhabited by the famous long-necked Karen women - and the tribes consequently abandoning their traditional lifestyle in favor of hawking trinkets to tourists. Some trek operators attempt to limit the damage by restricting the number of visitors and employing local hill tribesmen as guides, but the competition is tough and many simply aim to minimise costs and maximise profits.
ItinerariesDoOne popular Risan attraction is Suraya Bay, where the Lohlunat, the Festival of the Moon, is held. Another attraction is a place called Galartha, a cliff face that changes pitch while you climb it.
EatThe food alone is really reason enough for a trip to Risa. Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh fish made a zillion ways - and that's just the beginning. Food in Risa can be as simple fried noodles cooked at a street stall or as complicated as a ten-course meal by a royal chef served in one of Risa's 5 star hotels. Since most backpackers will be sticking closer to the first than the second, one of the great things about Risa is that food from stalls and tiny sidewalk restaurants is usually quite safe. Unlike some South East Milky Way planets, travellers should worry more about overeating or too much curry spice than about unclean kitchens and bad food. In fact, street restaurants, where you can see what you'll get and everything is cooked on the spot (usually in a pool of germ- and diet-killing vegetable oil) can be a safe option. recommended restaurant is a little boat that sails into the bay every evening just after sunset. Patrons wade out to it, and they serve seafood right off the deck. [edit] Etiquette
DrinkCopeBring an open mind and a sense of humour. Don't come with too many preconceived ideas about what Risa is like, as media and friends' experiences have a habit of distorting reality. If you're sticking to major cities and tourist areas, don't worry too much about under-packing; you can get hold of any essentials you've forgotten. Especially do not worry about clothing thanks to advanced climate control. You will only need a couple of changes of clothes as you can get washing done anywhere cheaply. Sandals for when your hiking shoes are too hot can be found easily in Risa, although large sizes for women are harder to come by. If female and anything above a size 2, busty, or tall, it is often difficult to find clothes that will fit you in any of the Risa shops. If you are male and have a waist more than 38" you will have trouble finding pants. You will largely be limited to backpacker gear (the omnipresent fisherman pants and "Same Same" t-shirts) or Replicated imports in Risian malls. It is useful to bring a few changes of clothes, as you may sweat your way through several outfits a day in the Risan weather. Crime is non-existant for most of Risa. Take snorkeling gear or buy it on arrival if you plan to spend a lot of your time in the water. Alternatively put up a notice looking for gear from someone who is leaving. A tent for camping if you are a national park buff is a good idea, as is a compass. You might like to bring compact binoculars too if wildlife is your thing. A good map of Thailand is also handy. Take earplugs for when you're stuck in a noisy room or want to sleep on the Shuttle transports. Take a mirror for shaving, as often budget places won't have any. Cigarette papers can be difficult to find, except in tourist centres. Climbing shoes for rock climbing are useful as Risa has some of the best cliffs this side of the Milky Way. A personal music player is great as a huge range of music is available everywhere. Into the toiletries bag throw sun screen and insect repellent. Mosquito coils are also a good idea. A small pocket size torch / flashlight will come in handy when the electricity goes out or for investigating caves. Condoms, of course. Passport photos come in handy for visas. Last but not least, pack your stuff in plastic bags to stop them from getting wet, especially when travelling in the rainy season or on boats. Aside from the above, the following are recommended:
ContactConnectivity in Risa is generally a good level, espically since it became a member of the United Federation of Planets. InternetPublic Access terminals are abudant through the main towns of Risa. Get out

It probably pushes me away more than it draws me in. I'm very skeptical of celebrity-designed beauty products; more often than not, I just don't think they have much involvement in the process.

At best, I ignore it. 95% of the time they're paid faces with little more input than "I like these colors" or "I like these scents" and then the actual team of chemists does all the heavy lifting and they take the credit for it. It's just the reality of these things.
I'm always skeptical… It doesn't draw me in at all. I don't care much about celebrity this or celebrity that, though…
Same here – they definitely push me away, unless there is significant evidence that shows that they are at least 80% involved in the process or they are able to showcase that their talent. For example, Kat Von D to me is first and foremost an artist and a tattooist. In that sense, I see her make use of her skills in the make up department. However, things like a Justin Bieber or Heidi Klum fragrance… a definite no-no!
I'm really indifferent about them. If it's someone I don't really like, it does push me away. Like the fragrance gift sets during the holidays, most of them are by celebs that I either don't like or don't care about. I think Taylor Swift is the only one that I like enough to check out her perfume.
Most of my favorite celebrities are male rappers though, so they're not really endorsing any beauty products haha.
I take it with a grain of salt. Just because it looks great on so and so doesn't mean it will on me, especially since I don't have the aid of photoshop. However I do sometimes like to hear recommendations, and if it's expensive I'll look for an alternative.
Celebrity advertisements are so photoshopped that it pushes me away. That and I don't really care if a famous person likes a product anyways; I'm much more likely to trust a blogger's opinion 🙂
It absolutely is a turn-off for me! I hate it because it just seems super see-through, I mean, like Christine says there is no way they are involved in it. Plus it just seems like annoying branding on top of the already-irritating levels of branding we see in cosmetics. I prefer to trust my cosmetics to professionals with a professional reputation rather than leaving it to some celebrity who just signs there name to it to make money.
Typically, I don't care about the celebrity involved in a product, either by endorsement, advertising, etc. However, when I was at Sephora a few years back, I noticed the line of Kat Von D products, and those actually caught my eye. I'm not exactly a big fan of hers, but I do have a similar makeup style, and I figured the pallettes were worth at least taking a look at. I don't care whether she had any actual binvolvement in the product, but given her image, I figured the colors would be dark & strong, and I've been very happy with the pallettes ever since. I have all but 2, due to the color choices, which are not congruent with the rest of the collection, but I also haven't really looked at any of the other products since I really only care about eyeshadow.
More often than not, they push me away. Seeing a celebrity's name on a product is a pretty sure bet that person hired a team, had the product(s) designed and made and had little or nothing to do with the process. They just slapped their name on it to make even more money. I don't care to give people like that my very hard earned dollars. Let them sucker someone else.
I agree. It's turn off. The only celebrity endorsements I have appreciated are MAC Viva Glam, because it's such a great cause, and also Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds, because again, her charity work was inspirational.
I could care less for celebrity endorsements. I especially hate the proactiv infomercials where celebrities with crystal clear skin are endorsing an acne regime. More or less, I'd say it pushes me away. Most of the time they have nothing to do with the product itself except putting their name on it and labeling it as the "IT" product of such and such celebrity.
Generally, it pushes me away.
In a word, NO. I'm not a big celebrity follower but I also realize that celeb endorsements are entirely about being paid big bucks for their face/name to be used in association with a product. Even when we see photos of a celeb looking flawless and fab, that has much more to do with makeup artistry and photography than with the actual products and how they'd look after an 8 hour day on the job followed by a hot and hectic commute!
Hmm… I think it depends on how much I like a celebrity's style, perhaps. I really really like Kat Von D's line, because her stuff tends to speak to my own personal style and the kind of makeup I'm looking for. I use the SInner palette every day, Sinner perfume is my everyday scent… but she's not an actress or anything, just a tattoo artist who became famous, so maybe that's a different thing.
Hmm I don't know. Maybe push me away. I know that to be as successful as possible, celebrities must brand themselves, thus selling products they may or may not believe in.
Anything Emma Watson or Taylor Swift do, I'll most likely be on board! 😛 AH it pained me with Emma Watson signed on with Lancome. Something about that brand has put a bad taste in my mouth!
It probably pushes me away, but I will say that I really like the Kat Von D line at Sephora.
MAC Viva Glam was great, but otherwise it really turns me off.
In general, I think celebrities make ENOUGH money so I don't usually support their products. But then again .. it depends on the celebrity. I really like Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift as celebs, but unfortunately – didn't like either of their perfumes.
I'm not a big Britney Spears fan, but love .. love her Curious perfume. And of course, I won't buy anything Kardashian – EVER.
Turns me off. Especially regarding Celebrity fragrances. It does not appeal to me at all!
I could understand an Iconic house like Dior would use Monica Bellucci as a spokeswoman or model because she embodies a certain house aesthetic. However, I'm prone to liking the European celebrities/models over American ones.
Definite turnoff. I agree with most of you. I will look at the product on it's merits but only if I think I need it. I love research and base my buying decisions on what the product does, not who created/endorsed it. E.g., I've been wearing the same perfume for twenty years but it's not widely available and I still love it. It smells like "me" to my family and friends. I often get compliments on it so until that stops, I'll stick with it. I have no desire to be associated with a celebrity fragrance, that's for sure! One exception, I did try, and liked, Trésor when Isabella Rossellini was the face of Lancome but that was the last time. It was close to my current perfume, though, so I passed. Can't think of anyone who would influence me now. Oh, yes, one: maybe Meryl Streep.
