It didn't take long for the new year's first catastrophe.
On Monday at 8 a.m., I tuned in to the Rose Parade on Channel 5 and saw a strange woman sitting next to Bob Eubanks. About 8:05, I realized this interloper, news anchor Michaela Pereira, wasn't simply warming the chair for Stephanie Edwards - she was replacing her.
I immediately called KTLA, which, of course, wasn't answering. So I was left to seethe my way into 2006 with as much good cheer as I could muster, although when my wife asked me what the theme of this year's parade was, all I could do was growl, "Looks like it's 'Dis Stephanie.'"
After 26 years in the booth with Eubanks, opining on charoriders, marching bands and Eubanks' sweaters, she was put out to pasture - almost literally. While Eubanks and Pereira were high and dry above Colorado Boulevard, Edwards was among the drenched masses, trying to do some street-level reporting.
Pereira was brought in, KTLA says, to "expand" the broadcast, and Edwards' new role is not a demotion. Edwards, as KTLA pointed out, had a lot of airtime on the two-hour pre-parade show.
Hmm. ... If Billy Crystal was asked to do the red-carpet interviews instead of host the Oscars, do you think he'd consider that a demotion?
While Edwards was billed as a co-host with Eubanks and Pereira for the coverage of the parade itself, there was nothing equal about it. I kept a log.
During the nearly 21/2-hour show, Edwards gave comment near the top of the broadcast and then again only at 8:23, 8:48, 9:04, 9:28, 9:42, 9:52, 9:57, 10:02, 10:11 and 10:23. That's about once every 14 minutes. And these were usually just a sentence or three.
In her first report, for example, she told us members of a band were wearing flesh-colored tights. She added cheerily: "I never would have been able to tell you that from up there, where Bob and Michaela have their heaters on."
And that captured her mood during her audio reports and the even less-frequent moments when the camera went to her and she popped up on the screen with her flaming red hair glowing under her clear plastic umbrella like the filament inside a light bulb. That is, she was totally professional; although, characteristic of the banter that made her and Eubanks really work as a team, she never let us forget that she was the one out in the cold.
I had no complaint with Pereira's work; she was solid. But what was the point? KTLA had dominated the ratings for 30 years - and did so again, with a 42 share.
I sensed all might not be well in the Bob-and-Stephanie universe in May, when I saw Edwards at a gala at Concordia University in Irvine.
The contract for the 2006 parade had not yet been signed and she was worried, but asked me not to write about it then because she didn't want to stir up trouble.
She picked up the phone at her Woodland Hills home yesterday and I reminded her of our earlier meeting. After I convinced her I wasn't a freak, she gave me the lowdown.
The producer told her he wanted to put someone from the KTLA newsroom in the booth with Eubanks. (I'd argue it makes more sense to have the newsperson doing the field newsreporting Edwards was assigned - but what do I know about the news business?)

Glancing at his watch, he hit the button on the phone labeled Secretary. With only two hours left in the workday, he needed to get busy. He hoped she could stay late.
Beep-beep. "Yes, sir?"
She sounded young. Not the grandmotherly type he had in Boston. "Please come see me."
The door opened and he swiveled the chair. Before he could speak, however, his throat closed and his crotch tightened uncomfortably. Shit! Danger just walked into his office.
She had her pale blond hair swept up in some fancy knot, held in place with what looked like chopsticks. It appeared much too easy to let down quickly. Chocolate brown eyes caressed his face, or did he imagine it? God, did his pants bulge? He crossed a leg over his knee as a precaution.
Where did she get that skin? Flawless. Alabaster tinged in the right places with a hint of pink. Had to be make-up. Especially on that mouth. Geez, he couldn't keep himself from picturing those plump, glistening lips wrapping around the tip of his dick. He started to throb, and swallowed. Hard.
He had to look away. But he couldn't take his eyes from her. That long, ballerina neck arched for his kiss. Stop it! Firm, high, not-too-large breasts filled out her translucent blouse. Underneath, a lace camisole stretched, hinting at a shadow of pretty cleavage. Were her tits getting bigger by the second? Damn it, he was staring.
Dropping his gaze lower, he admired the form-fitting, cream colored pencil skirt that hugged her tiny waist and emphasized the gentle flare of her hips. Young, but not too young. Definitely a woman. Damn, she was sweet.
Long legs tapered down, shapely like a runner's. Highlighted by cream colored, strappy high-heeled shoes, her narrow feet ended with French manicured toes he wanted more than anything to suck.
She cleared her throat, and he gave a guilty start. "Yes," he said and mentally slapped himself when his voice cracked. Clearing his own throat, he added, "I have a list of supplies. Can you see to it or is there someone else I should talk to?"
Her dark gaze raked him and he froze, terrified she would see his tenting trousers. Then he realized the edge of his desk blocked her view.
She held out a hand. "I'll take care of it for you."
Her voice sounded different in person. Less childlike. More husky, sexy. It swirled around him and he leaned forward slightly. His eyes found her outstretched hand, his mind sending it straight to his dick. He stared, picturing the slender fingers taking hold of his hard length. His mouth went dry. Get control, man!
"The list?" she reminded.
"Yes, of course. The list." He sounded like an idiot! Ripping the page off the pad, he handed it to her. She turned and headed for the door, her hips swaying seductively and her shoes making a seductive, slappy rhythm with her walk.
Suddenly, he remembered. "Excuse me." He hadn't even asked her name. I'm such a jerk. "What should I call you?"
"How about Hey you," she suggested with a straight face.
It took him a moment to realize she joked, and gave him hope he had not made a complete fool of himself. He chuckled.
"No, you may call me Melony."
"Thank you, Melony." He tried to relax but she had him in tangles. "Call me Chip. Could you get me a copy of Monday's hearing schedule, and the corresponding trial prep summary? I'd like to go over it this weekend."
"Yes, sir."
"Chip," he called as she closed the door.
That glass wall was going to cause him no end of problems with her sitting on the other side.
"You've got a twisted sense of humor," Chip accused, not amused. Trying to locate the collar's fastener, he slowed and said, "Take this thing off of me."
Melony gave the leader a tug. "If you value your life, don't fight me." She passed him a meaningful look then glanced at the warehouse's entrance.
He followed her line of vision and saw Frank staring, arms crossed over a bulging chest. The expression on the biker's haggard features made it clear he'd gladly repeat the choking torture.
Chip rubbed his bruised neck and picked up the pace. "You're going to take this thing off, right?"
"Maybe. If you're a very, very good slave."
She showed no sign that she joked, and he began to comprehend he'd been thrust into an alternate reality. "Please tell me this is a game."
"It's no game. You shouldn't have followed me. And you really shouldn't have done what you did. Now you're my slave. Something neither of us wants." Melony unlocked her car and opened the passenger side door. "Get in."
"I'm not leaving my car. I'm not your slave. And I'm not afraid of Frank." He pulled on the neckband again with no result.
She arched her eyebrows and shifted her weight onto one foot. "You will leave your car. You are my slave. And Frank's headed our way."
Alarmed, Chip turned and saw the bouncer step off the sidewalk. "Okay. I'm afraid of Frank. But I'm not leaving my car."
"Then it's your car and your death, or it's my car and your life."
His fantasy had become a nightmare. He ducked into the car and wondered how fast the biker could run. He would bet he could outpace the guy. Melony tossed the leader into his lap and shut the door.Freedom! He tugged the door handle a fraction too late. She had hit the lock button on her remote. Unlocking it manually, he reached for the handle again, but she hit the button once more as she rounded the front of the car.
When he unlocked it a second time, she opened the driver's side door and said, "Your car will be fine. I'll bring you back to get it another day."
Frank had grown too near, so running would do Chip no good. He settled against the seatback and fingered the end of the leash. "This really sucks." He shrugged out of his jacket as his boiling anger made him warmer.
"You have no idea. I didn't want a new partner. Not right now, anyway." She started the car and backed out of the space.
Frank stopped, watching them leave, and Chip resisted the urge to shoot him the bird. "This isn't all about you," he bit out.
"Here's your first lesson as a slave. It is all about me. You do not exist except to serve me. The sooner you learn this, the easier your month will go." She pulled out onto the street and accelerated past the speed limit.
As the streetlights provided a strobe effect across the dash and their laps, his mind whirled. "I'm not doing this," he insisted, heat now suffusing his face. "I'm not your slave. I'm not going to serve you. And what's this business about a month?"
She punched his shoulder, her knuckles amplifying pain to the bone. Grabbing the joint, he stared. She sure could deliver a blow for such a tiny thing.
"You don't get it," she said, her tone dripping danger. "Frank will kill you. He works for very bad people. He will hunt you down and murder you in a slow, painful manner. He gets off on it. So listen up. According to the rules of the society, the waiver you signed makes you an inductee. Your behavior at the meeting partnered you with me, and since I'm a Dominatrix, that makes you my slave. First-time slaves are required to live with their Doms for a month to receive their training." She pulled into the apartment building parking lot. "So, welcome home. Slave."
His ears buzzed and a sharp pain spiked through his temple. This was giving him a headache. "Take me to my hotel. I'll get a cab to drive me to my car."
Stopping in a space, she jerked the keys out of the ignition. "Are you deaf? You're a dead man if you leave." She tapped a fingertip on his forehead, sending new shockwaves through his brain. "You did this to yourself. Now pay the price for your mistakes."
"This is crap!" Chip shook with rage. Nobody had ever treated him, talked to him, like that. "I don't deserve this."
"Neither do I," she grumbled. Melony got out and gave the leader a tug. "Come on."
"Are you kidding?" Did she expect him to crawl over the parking brake and driver's seat like a dog?
"No. I'm not giving you a chance to run. I'd never catch you on these stilts." She lifted a foot for emphasis. "Come on. My feet hurt."
For the first time, he detected vulnerability in her. Pain added a hard edge to her lips, yet loneliness shone from her eyes like a beacon. She didn't like this any more than he, and he believed she did this to save his life. The problem lay in her intension of seeing their roles fulfilled. He'd have to convince her otherwise. He hooked a finger over the edge of the collar. "Take this off."
"I'm not taking the chance of having people see me like this."
"I don't think you understand your place. You don't decide anything. I tell you what to think, do, and say." She gave the leader another tug.
His ire rose another notch and he tapped into his court training to get his emotion under control. Pretending a judge looked down at them, gavel in hand, Chip entered into calm negotiations. "How about I promise to accompany you inside? In fact, because your feet hurt, if you take off this restraint, I'll carry you to your apartment."
Her eyes widened a bit and she loosened her grip on the leash. "I like the idea of you carrying me, slave. I propose I leave the collar on but drape my arm around your neck and hide the leash in my coat."
She was good, but he really wanted it off. "I'm stronger than you. I could simply resist you. How about--"
"Don't ever threaten to use your strength against me," she yelled, her face turning pink. She trembled and the leader buckled in her fist. "I swear, I'll beat you until you wish you'd never been born!"
He could only stare. Damn, she was sexy when she got enraged. In the five hours he had known her, she had seemed so poised, so strong. Her wild eyes told him she had just come unhinged. Yet, not for a second did he believe she would follow through on such a threat. She intrigued him. All of a sudden, he wanted to get her inside so he could find out what lay behind her outburst. He wanted to find out what made this beauty tick.
She lowered a veil over her features and inhaled a shaky breath. "Sorry."
He smirked. "Apologizing to a slave? Is that allowed?" Maybe he could get into this game. For the weekend. He didn't have anything else planned. Now that she showed she wasn't hard as stone, this could prove an interesting diversion.

Violet Heart spins a fantastic tale in Sweet Backlash. Within the first pages I was sucked into the story and totally enjoyed the ride. The characters seemed real to me, like I'd known them for years. And the love scenes, whew! Amazingly written, they are sensual, real and romantic.

Sweet Backlash was an incredible story. I couldn't put the book down. Melony is so damaged and broken, but she's not a victim. She turns her scars into armor - you know, her weaknesses make her stronger. And Chip is a guy any girl would fall in love with. He's no pushover, no matter how hard Melony tries to trample him. Wow. I loved these two characters. I really enjoyed the banter between them, and the love scenes are freakin' amazing! Don't miss this one!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Music biz set to invade Austin for SXSW fest
By Chris Morris
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The South by Southwest Music Conference & Festival, which kicks off Wednesday in Austin, may be getting too big for its already Texas-size britches.
Record attendance of more than 10,000 registrants is expected. More than 1,300 acts will be playing official SXSW showcases, with dozens more scheduled at unsanctioned events running concurrently with the festival all over Austin.
In the early days of its existence, the conference was a relatively bite-size event. Now, in SXSW's 20th year, crowds create near-gridlock conditions in downtown Austin, and afternoon shows swell already full calendars. Some attendees — and even organizers — are beginning to wonder what one can hope to accomplish at an event as sprawling as this five-day music showcase, which runs through Sunday.
"For the most part, it's what you can make of it," SXSW managing director Roland Swenson said.
There was a time when acts clamored for festival slots in the hope of getting signed out of Austin. Given the sheer size of this year's event, both the talent and the label reps need to have their ducks in line before getting on the plane or into the van for this year's festival, in Swenson's opinion.
"Ideally, a band or somebody in the business is following up on something that's already started," Swenson said. "If there are relationships that are already in place, that's when it works best for people."
For talent scouts, dealing with the abundance of music at SXSW can be rewarding or frustrating.
"My experience has been varied," said Mark Williams, an A&R (artists and repertoire) executive at Interscope Records. "I've actually seen or heard about things there that I ended up signing."
Williams said that in earlier years, he signed Whiskeytown, Veruca Salt and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the strength of their SXSW performances.
However, he noted that major labels have increasingly used the festival as a ramp-up for the promotion of its new acts.
"The platforming has overshadowed the music part of it, but that's still there," Williams said. "But there's so much, it's a bit overwhelming."
Rachel Howard, A&R director at Warner Bros. Records, said she hasn't signed a band out of SXSW, though she is working on bringing in an act she saw at the festival last year.
Howard said: "The pleasant thing is that you can stumble upon something that's really great. . . . (SXSW is) not too big, but it is pretty overwhelming."
"For signing bands, it's probably not the greatest thing for us now," said Glenn Dicker, a partner at the Haw River, N.C.-based indie label Yep Roc Records. "I have to see the bands without so many distractions. . . . It's definitely useful, but at this stage it's easier for me to fly someplace to see a band, even if it's Minnesota or something."
Peter Jesperson, vp A&R at Los Angeles-based indie New West Records and a 15-year SXSW vet, said that his presence at the festival is primarily promotional in nature. In addition to an official festival showcase, the company also is mounting an afternoon-long private party.
"Now the bulk of my time down there is with New West artists and doing New West business," Jesperson said. "I have maybe five or six things that I see that are extracurricular."
Still, as in years past, Jesperson hopes he will stumble on an act that's right for his label.
"You always look for those happy accidents," Jesperson said. "That still happens to me. I do think the surprise element is what we all look for."
Some still welcome SXSW as a one-stop talent shopping experience. Film and TV music supervisor Gary Calamar of SuperMusicVision said, "Even though all these bands play in Los Angeles eventually, for me it's good to pack it all in one week. Meeting people face-to-face in this atmosphere also breeds good relationships. . . . Hopefully I'll discover a band I didn't know about."
For those involved in promotion, SXSW's still-burgeoning list of off-site events offers a world of possibilities. One list of unofficial SXSW shows and parties posted on the Internet runs 16 single-spaced pages.
For a publicist like Cary Baker, who operates the Los Angeles-based indie firm Conqueroo, the confab is all about pressing the flesh with journalists and getting his acts seen by movers, shakers and punters alike.
"All the press in the world is there, and for an indie, my next dozen clients are there," Baker said. "Sometimes in my random stumblings, I run into people and wind up working with them."
Baker said some of his clients are playing as many as a dozen off-site events and parties — some of them in far-flung South Austin, where a kind of alternative SXSW has sprung up in recent years.
"I want my artists to be seen by the locals, because they've got money to spend at (top Austin indie record store) Waterloo," Baker said.
Shilah Morrow, who runs Los Angeles-based Sin City Marketing and manages New West act Tim Easton, has mounted an off-site show at a South Austin taco stand for several years. This year, she has expanded the gigs there from one day to two.
"I've doubled my efforts because Sin City has become such a popular event that we had more than 40 artists want to play this year," Morrow said.
Most of the performers on the Sin City shows are playing multiple gigs in Austin this week. "There's so much competition," Morrow said. "It costs a lot of money to get there and house your artists."
She added that, with an incredible array of music available virtually 24-7 during the festival, one has to be prepared to improvise at SXSW: "We all have our schedules of shows we want to hit, and by the time you get to Austin, you throw it out the window."

Indonesia's foreign policy limitations
Published on Apr 30, 2014 6:42 PM
Former Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri's confirmation earlier last month that popular Jakarta governor Joko Widodo will be her party's presidential candidate reminds us that Indonesia will soon have a new leader. The end of the decade-long Yudhoyono era poses questions for Singapore about what kind of neighbour Indonesia will be under its new president.
The issue takes on additional interest for Singapore in the wake of its row with Indonesia over the naming of the Usman-Harun frigate. The incident prompted some to conclude that Indonesia is becoming more assertive.
Certainly, Indonesia is well aware of its rising prominence in international affairs in recent years, a prominence it has achieved through successful democratisation and rapid economic growth. Indonesia's new status in the world, including international interest in Indonesian ideas on global problems, has been a recurring theme in President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's annual independence day addresses. Dr Yudhoyono also told military officers last year that Indonesia must have a larger and more modern military than its neighbours in view of its extensive territory.
The possibility that Mr Prabowo Subianto - Mr Joko's leading rival - might become president makes many doubly wary. A former general with a chequered human rights record who now leads a nationalist party, Mr Prabowo derives his popular appeal from his image as a strong leader.

Background story
For the moment, Indonesia's aspirations for a global role are not matched by an ability to flex its muscles in support of foreign policy goals. Instead, Indonesia must prosecute its far-reaching international agenda with limited means.

Spellers buzzing about Saturday's regional Bee
CORPUS CHRISTI - As the oldest of five siblings, 8-year-old Ella Malek is excited to be the youngest of 98 finalists Saturday in the 58th annual Caller-Times South Texas Regional Spelling Bee.
"I won't be nervous," said Ella, who won her ABC Homeschool bee with the correct spelling of "digit." "I plan to do well and get through as many rounds as I can."
Her mother said she is more nervous than Ella.
"Ella's used to studying with constant noise from four brothers and sisters," said Crystal Malek. "It's our first year participating and I just want her to do her best."
This year's top spellers from 98 elementary, middle and home schools collectively out-spelled more than 10,000 others in 11 counties to compete Saturday at Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz International Center.
"It's an exciting time, and these kids are anxious in a good way, but some are also nervous," said Steve Arnold, Caller-Times vice president of marketing who oversees the annual bee.
One winning student's mother asked that her school's alternate compete, because her daughter was so nervous, Arnold said.
"We want all of the kids to have a great learning experience," he said. "It's a chance for them to hone their public speaking skills while having a good time."
Reigning bee champion C.J. Hartwick, 12, a First Baptist Middle School eighth-grader, returns after being the first speller in the regional bee's history to win in the third round.
Two sets of siblings will compete this year.
Brother and sister Jean Dizon, 9, a third-grader at Schanen Estates Elementary School, and Nina Dizon, 14, an eighth-grader at Tom Browne Middle School, are learning English still, their father said. They moved here in April from the Philippines, where they spoke Tagalog, a language used by a third of the country's population.
"Jean is really serious about it," the students' father Larry Dizon said. "His sister is more reserved. She didn't even tell us she had won."
They have been studying together, Dizon said.
Brothers Akash, 10, and Kush Maheshwari, 12, will compete against each other for the second year after sweeping their Montclair Elementary and Cullen Middle schools' competitions respectfully.
"We joke with them about going against each other," said their mother, Vimmi Maheshwari. "They get along well and they test each other and review spelling lists together, which helps them both.
"Whether they win or not," she said, "they always give their all, and that's all we expect from them."
Regional winners receive all-expense-paid trips to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee the first week of June in Washington, D.C. Trip expenses, facility rental and T-shirts for participants are provided by IBC Bank.

Picture: Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis during the Houston Texans at the NY Jets on Monday October 8, 2012 at Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford,...
Two-and-a-Half Men is the show that forks out the most for its lead actors; last year Charlie Sheen topped Forbes' list of TV's Highest-Paid TV Actors list with $40m and this year its new lead Ashton Kutcher has taken over the prestigious spot, albeit with a decidedly smaller sum of just $26m.
Hugh Laurie for his role in 'House' and Ray Romano, for a now cancelled 'Men of a Certain Age' were runners up to Kutcher, each raking in $18m. We'd all be happy to plum for second place in this race. Aside from Laurie, it was entirely sitcom actors that scored the bigtime in this list, with stars of 30 Rock, Last Man Standing, Men, and The Big Bang Theory - Alec Baldwin, family favourite Tim Allen, Jon Cryer, and Jim Parsons and Alan Galecki, respectively, all managing to make it into the top ten.
However, as much as it's always great to celebrate in the successes of others, for women in the equivalent category, financial success seems to not be quite so easy. Sophia Vergara from Modern Family is this year's female top earner, but at just (ha! just?) $19m, she's lagging behind Kutcher by $7m! Plus, the genres in which these women find their careers is far more varied than men - still including comedy, but also drama, reality and medical dramas all find their way into the list. Desperate Housewives is one show that truly shows women multitasking, and Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria, two stars of the show, both appear in the top ten. Although men still earn more than women, it seems the ladies can take the prize for versatility.

Comments about Full-On Curls Wig by Sherri Shepherd™ LUXHAIR™:
I agree with the stylist if you cut a wig to fit your face no one can tell if it is your hair or not unless you say it is. I am not a stylist and I did this to my wig bought one just like this same style and color. I cut it shorter to fit my face and it was really cute. I would recommend this wig highly, what looks good on someone else doesn't mean it will look good on you unless style it to fit your face.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Style your new wigs to fit your FACE....
By Stylediva702
from Las Vegas, NV
About Me Professional Stylist
A lot of women do not realize that you can't just wear a wig out of the box! You have to trim it to fit your face, or you will look like a clown going to a party! Be SMART. Do what the pros do, and just style your wigs to fit YOU, not to look like a picture.

Incorrect color
By Phoebe C.
from San Marino, CA
I received the wrong color and returned the wig. I included a letter and copy of my order to show the wig I'd received was not the color I'd ordered. In response to your postcard, I called and explained I'd received the wrong color. There appears to be some confusion with the style/color numbers. I was again sent the wrong color wig. I called your help line during business hours and got only an announcement to call during business hours.I'm giving up. I'll save the wig for Halloween. I won't be ordering anything more from your firm.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I know how to use the product. This one do not look like the picture. Not cut like the picture and once you put it on, it is uncomfortable because it seems like it is cut wrong... I usually keep all wigs and do what I can to make it work... Bit this one I returned for my money back.

By All 4 Wigs
from Charlotte, NC
Looks great on the model in the catalog. I'm a big wig fan and know that you must work with wigs to fit and flatter your face. Pretty much like you would do after having a stylist style your own hair, you do a little tweaking to get it to look just right. But if you want a look remotely like this one. Save your money. I'm so sorry that I didn't send it back.I was very disappointed with this purchase.

Today, two Christian leaders in Arizona delivered a petition signed by thousands of Christians to Gov. Jan Brewer calling on her to retract her controversial executive [6] order denying driver's licenses and other benefits to undocumented young people who qualify for deferred action. The petition was signed by members of the Sojourners community and reads:
We believe every person, regardless of immigration status, is created in God's image. Your recent executive order denying driver's licenses and other benefits to undocumented young people who qualify for deferred action is harsh and short-sighted. As people of faith, we urge you to reconsider your position and retract this executive order so that all God's children in Arizona can contribute to your state's economy and strengthen its communities.
Pastor Yvette Lopez of the New Life Church of God in Tucson, Ariz., also helped deliver the petition.
"I'm a conservative, but this is this was the last straw for me," Lopez said."This executive order is deplorable, and it must be rescinded; my faith and my politics demand this."
"As a Christian, I am deeply disturbed by this executive order," said Rev. Eve Nunez, vice president of the National Hispanic Leadership Conference, who delivered the petition. "I have worked tirelessly for just immigration reform and I cannot believe the extreme lengths to which this Governor will go to marginalize and destroy the lives of young people who came to this country by no fault of their own. My Christian faith teaches me to love the least of these, not punish them, and that is precisely what this executive order does."
Gov. Brewer's actions were prompted by a shift in federal immigration policy [8] that would allow hundreds of thousands of young people lacking immigration status to find meaningful work or pursue a college education. Brewer has a record of taking stridently conservative positions on immigration issues, including her support for a law passed by Arizona's legislature known as SB 1070, which was mostly struck down [9] by the Supreme Court in June.

Smif N Wessun ft. Jahdan - Shots in the Dark
Artist: Smif N Wessun
Producer: Beatnick & K-Salaam
Album: Born and Raised EP
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 1 votes )
Typically, when someone starts firing a weapon blindly, bystanders should find cover and fast. In the case of Smif N Wessun's latest feature, though, you don't have much to worry about. Though the latest single off the Brooklyn vets' reggae-inspired EP sees Tek and Steele busting off a few Shots in the Dark, each of their lyrical slugs miraculously manages to find its proper target. Over project collaborators K-Salaam & Beatnick's dub-infused boardwork, the partners-in-rhyme offer a scattershot, yet incisive indictment of our culture of greed and violence. Guyanan-born, Brooklyn-based dancehall phenom Jahdan takes aim at "unemployment and discrimination" on the record's hook. Think Shots in the Dark hits home? You can find this record, this past October's Solid Ground and much more on Smif N Wessun's latest project, Born & Raised.
Update: We have added the Lisa "Cynical" Smith-directed visuals for Smif N Wessun's Shots in the Dark single.

And what does Hillsman think of the "Midwest Heroes" spot? "I wouldn't call it great advertising, but it's better than average," he opines. "These are the sorts of ads that rely on frequency to get the message across. The psychology is that you just keep pounding these messages home and then people tend to believe they're true because they've heard them so much."

Final Score: San Diego 4, Chicago White Sox 0
Peoria, AZ (Sports Network) - Jaff Decker hit a solo homer and the San Diego pitching staff combined for a four-hit gem as the Padres blanked the Chicago White Sox, 4-0, in spring training action on Sunday.
Chase Headley, Cameron Maybin and Nick Hundley each had RBI doubles off White Sox starter Jake Peavy, who took the loss after surrendering three runs on five hits in three innings of work.
Clayton Richard made the start and picked up the win for San Diego. He didn't allow a hit over two innings pitched and Anthony Bass, Tim Stauffer and Daniel Stange combined for seven strikeouts in relief.

Good thing this delicious fragrance is not very common in my country and has been my most complimented cologne.
Cool Water. Which isn't something that I even enjoy wearing anymore...
But it's guaranteed to get compliments EVERYWHERE, all the time. It's gotten more compliments than the rest of my entire collection put together by a RIDICULOUS margin.
I've never gotten a single comment anywhere, other than the occassional "you smell good" from my girlfriend, and once at school some skater girl was like "you smell good, what axe is that?" -.-
Maybe ill buy cool water just for the hell of getting a comment from a stranger :P
Then i'll sell it right afterward haha.
yesterday i got 2 compliments by strangers on \

Got some love for Silver Mountain Water last night: "You smell delicious"
Went to the office on Wednesday with 2 women at the receptionist desk.
Woman 1: "You smell good."
Woman 2: "Yeah I was just going to say the same thing."
Me: (Smiles) "Thanks."
Woman 1: "What are you wearing?"
Me: "Chanel."
Woman1: "I love that one. My all time favorite is CK Eternity. That is like an aphrodisiac to me."
Me: (Laughs) "I have that one also."
Woman2: "Oh you better write that one down."
Woman1: "Well it was good to see you."
Me: "Same here."
Woman1: (Comes to me and hugs me)
I walk off and smile.

According to the noob, I must be a liar... shame on me!
The only thing worse than an arrogant noob is a troll.
I'm not sure what we are dealing with here, but such a sweeping negative generalisation can be ignored by all.
With the right body chemistry, look and attitude, many, many fragrances will garner compliments.
This includes Tommy and CK Be.
Experienced Basenoters know better than to accuse others of being liars or to insult their fragrance tastes.
If you enjoy Tommy and CK Be, then no one has the right to criticise your taste.
To label those who enjoy Creed (or any other brand) as liars, is simply inappropriate on this forum.
You are either a troll, or you will learn correct manners as you gain Basenotes' experience.
There is a way to express an opinion and criticise fragrances you dislike, without insulting the people who wear them.
Try to learn from the more experienced Basenoters.
You should try to read posts from educated Basenoters such as Scentemental.
You will learn much about fragrance and the proper behaviour of a Basenotes' gentleman.
That being said, I agree with Mr. Musky_Monkey. We should try to observe a certain level of "gentlemanship" here and keep the polite tone we already have going.
So lets leave the insults and flamewars to people on forums elsewhere...
Woman at work walked in: "Did you bring food? Or was someone eating...? I don't know....something just smells really good and I'm not sure it's even food!"
Me: "Hmm...some kind of smoked honey served with some kind of leather straw hat container....sounds about right?"
Woman: "YES! THAT! What IS that?"
Me: "It must be this fragrance I'm wearing"
Woman: "WHAT?!? There are stuff out there that smell THAT good?!?"
Me: "Ohhh...you have NO idea...."

I'm not keen on MR (a tad too sweet and far too much sillage for my liking), but apparently it smells good on me.
Those who are not anosmic to iso e super seem to really like Molecule 01.

Wow, unexpected day. I got complimented like everywhere I went today with my first full wearing of Montale Lime Aoud. Really didn't see this as a compliment getter, but did notice it had a huge "bloom". The 3 sprays this morning went from barely noticeable at breakfast to considerable sillage.
Seemed to hit everywhere across the spectrum. First comment was from an employee who I'm cautious about wearing scent around as she is older (over 70) and has breathing problems (although never from anything I've worn that I know of, mostly cleaning products and spray paint). She said I smelled really nice today.
Another comment was from the 30'ish lady at the bakery counter at Whole Paycheck in Memphis.
Then I got a comment from a preteen granddaughter of a lady I was setting up a computer for this afternoon.
1. Montale Wild Aoud
2. Amouage Jubilation XXV
3. Montale Red Vetyver
4. Montale Aoud Lime
5. Le Labo Vetiver 46

Take it from a young,good looking man that hits the town weekly to hunt for women.....
YsL L'homme & La Nuit, cause a scene around ladies....I'm not just talking friends or family, but random women......alot of guys have different opinions on these two, but when I go out wearing either of these 2 scents I have Atleast 3+ comments made about it...and not just random "you smell nice" but their faces all up in my neck & chest area trying to suffocate me lol.....
Also, actually "V" by Valentino....Im honestly not a fan of this, but I decided to wear it this past weekend...And within 30 min I had very attractive woman moving in, she couldn't stop smelling me & trying to get close...and to sum it up, Valentino + Patron lead to the nice young lady coming back to my place....lmao....
None of these 3 colognes are my personal Favs, but it is what it is fellas, girls Smell things differently than we do.....enjoy!
Lol I try
DH and DHI. 100%
adversity introduces a man to himself -anonymous
Green Irish Tweed this past Saturday....
+1 to GIT. I've even had gentlemen ask me what I'm wearing.
Other fragrances that get me compliments:
Chanel Allure Homme, Allure Homme Sport, Edition Blanche
Bleu de Chanel
YSL - La Nuit
Lacoste Essential Sport (my gym fragrance )
A*Men Pure Malt
Le Male LE MALE LE MALE (compliments GALORE)
Burberry Brit (not so much with London. I guess women like powdery vanilla)
Givenchy Play Intense (BIG compliment getter)
Buglari Black (Although some people didn't like it)
Gents, I've been wearing down my flacon of GIT all year round. Any suggestions for other highly complimented scents for SUMMER?
The weather is transitioning into wet and warm summer here soon.
Listed in order of compliment factor.
1. Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey
2. Acqua Di Gio
3. Dolce Gabbana pour Homme
4. Creed Millesime Imperial
5. Azzaro Chrome
6. Creed SMW & Himalaya
7. Chanel allure homme sport
Aventus is not listed there, but it was also released after people began to count. And as i have noticed people seem to get ALOT of comliments wearing this.
After last night, I feel confident in saying that if all the sex appeal of all my other fragrances were combined, they still wouldn't match Green Irish Tweed. This is actually disheartening.
I have to use that trick of yours when people ask me next time.
I would love to get one from Neiman Marcus, but the price is $285. Compared to FragranceNet (fake?) for almost half the price.
Unless they were on special discount?
Fragrancenet is 100% legitimate, make sure to use the 15% basenotes coupon when you checkout. FragranceX also has some nice prices on Creeds
Several compliments on bvlgari black last night, man i hope this never gets discontinued
Recently compliments at work for:-
Aventus (3 different women. 1 in 20s, 1 in 30s, and 1 in 40s)
Chrome (same 30-something who liked Aventus)
Green Irish Tweed (same 40-something who liked Aventus)
Guerlain Homme (although I'm not a fan and won't be buying again)
Millesime Imperial (this surprised me, as it was from a very fussy 30yo girl who is a huge fan of Britney Spears perfumes!!!)
It had been like two months since I had worn Mandarina Duck Pure Black but this past weekend I decided to wear it both friday and saturday nights. I got an avalanche of compliments on it, maybe a dozen or more. It was kind of a boost to my troubled ego in a way. I've been working hard for the past few months and in a serious cash saving mode therefore I haven't had much time for fun so it's been bumming me out a little bit.
The Duck strikes again!
It seems like I went all summer long without getting that many compliments on my frag. I have been wearing Creed VIW a ton and it's not particularly strong so I can see why I haven't been getting many, people just haven't been able to smell me that much.
***My SALE thread***My TRADE thread***
Frag addicted? Join the support group We are too but dam we smell good!
Wore Bond No. 9 Wall Street for the firs time yesterday, went out to a bar with my girlfriend and I got 5 compliment, one from her, 2 from her friends and 2 from strangers!
I´ve been wearing this lately and it seems to be getting even more compliments than my top compliment getters ( Dreamer and L´occitane) Will Jaipur dethrone these two ? Time will tell...
The Dreamer from Versace: what does this scent have that is so alluring and enticing towards the opposite sex ?
Well in my case the most compliments that i got from are :
Burberry London
Chanel Allure Homme
Seduction in black
Hot female (late 30's) in a Vegas bar told me a smelt really good the other night.
Aventus again, this was eight hours after a very weak application as it was the final couple of half squirts from the bottle.
Did anyone get compliments on pure havane??

1 Million could be very very sexy If she havent smelled it before but most of them know it now.

It was obvious to see that the front plate that was attached to the sub frame allowed over spill from the glass range top to seep through the joint thus allowing the liquid to disrupt the electric harness cable causing it to carrode.

What a delightful house! It made our stay here that much better.
Great fun at Disneyland and the beach with my brother, sister-in-law
Nieces and nephews.
Thank you
Snohomisa, Wa.
1st time in the USA from AUS. Lucy was most helpful in meeting our accommodation arrangements from such a distance, and provided links and guides to all the local necessities. The house was really clean and tidy and met all our needs. We ended staying at home most nights around the BBQ just cause we felt so comfortable. Highly recommended. Thanks Lucy for helping us have a great holiday
The house was super clean and very comfortable for my family of 6. We got just what we expected. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was great. I didn't even miss not having a dishwasher. Lucy is so sweet and very accommodating. The only draw back to our entire stay was that the house is right on the corner of a very busy street. The traffic noise was very loud. Even late at night. But, you are in a big city so you have to expect that I guess.
My family and i had a great stay. The house is in a great location, close to everything. We had a great time on vacation and were comfortable in the house. I highly recommend staying here and hope to stay here on our next vacation (we're flying next time)!
Thank you Lucy for another fantastic experience in Fullerton. This is our second time staying at this SOCO house and now we know for sure that we will NEVER stay anywhere else while in California. Literally a 7 minute drive from Disneyland (and if you but your park tickets through AMA you get free park parking) this house is as functional geographically as it is inside. Lucy provides everything from beach towels, to laundry soap, to shampoo. My daughter accidentally pulled the shower head right out of the wall - water everywhere!! We called Lucy - "No problem" she says and by the time we got home the piece had been replaced and Lucy wanted no compensation. I truly adore this woman who would jump hurdles to make your stay more enjoyable and every time we have stayed here Lucy has made a point to come over and introduce herself, asking if there is anything else that you need. To top it all off, the cost to rent this home is far less than the cost of a hotel room! You honestly can't lose if you choose one of Lucy's homes during your stay.
Lucy –
I wanted to say another " thanks" to you, we had such a great vacation in your home. We have been bragging to all of our friends & family about this way of going on vacation (by renting a house instead of doing the hotel thing). I have an Aunt & Cousin that live about 15 minutes from your house, and it was nice for them to be able to come over & visit while we were there. My husband wants me to ask you where we can buy a mattress topper like the one on the master bed? We slept like babies!!!! Again, we will be coming back to CA & booking with you on our next trip!
Thank you Lucy for making our visit to Orange County a memorable one!!! Your home provided 3 generations of our family space, comfort, and all the amenities (including a BBQ!) to relax after a day of adventures around Fullerton. We highly recommend this home to anyone, and we will be returning!!!
The following are within 30 minutes away from the home. Deep sea fishing, over 20 golf courses, major concert halls, such as the Honda Center, House of Blues, Angel Baseball Stadium, Ducks Hockey, Fender Museum, Trolley tours of the City of Fullerton. and so much more.
