Press Release
Justice Department Issues Joint Statement of Principles With City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Reform Albuquerque Police Department
ALBUQUERQUE – The Justice Department (DOJ) today announced it has signed a joint statement of principles with the City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, which reflects the good-faith intent of both sides to enter into a court-enforceable agreement to reform the Albuquerque Police Department (APD). The joint statement of principles publicly specifies the measures that DOJ and the City are undertaking in order to resolve the findings resulting from DOJ's investigation into use of force by APD. On April 10, 2014, following an extensive investigation, DOJ found reasonable cause to believe that APD engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including unreasonable deadly force.
Following the release of the findings letter DOJ and the City each separately reached out to numerous stakeholders across Albuquerque to hear their ideas and concerns about the reform of APD. Attorneys and staff of the department have spoken to police officers, city officials, mental health service providers, advocacy organizations, individuals who have been personally affected by APD's past conduct and other community members. DOJ has held dozens of meetings and met with hundreds of people across the city. Through these efforts, both sides have gained important insights into officers' and the community's concerns that will shape the final agreement. DOJ is encouraged by the feedback it has received and is committed to sustainable reforms that will ensure APD delivers services in a manner that respects the rights of residents, promotes mutual confidence between the police and the community and improves public and officer safety.
"This agreement marks an important step forward in addressing the unreasonable use of deadly force uncovered in our investigation into the Albuquerque Police Department," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "The residents of Albuquerque depend on their police department to serve their community with honor and integrity. In the overwhelming majority of cases, our dedicated law enforcement officials—who put their lives on the line every day—do just that. But when misconduct does occur, we will never hesitate to act in order to secure the civil rights of everyone in this country. As a result of our ongoing action, I am confident that the Albuquerque Police Department will be able to correct troubling practices, restore public trust, and better protect its citizens against all threats and dangers—while providing the model of professionalism and fairness all Americans deserve."
"We commend the city for engaging in good-faith negotiations to reach a court-enforceable agreement that will ensure sustainable reforms of APD," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Jocelyn Samuels for the Civil Rights Division. "The joint statement of principles provides the community with our commitment to work expeditiously with the city to craft a durable agreement that will resolve our findings and will ensure that APD provides effective and constitutional policing to the people of Albuquerque."
"Since the release of DOJ's findings letter, we have asked for and received valuable ideas and insights from officers, members of the community, representatives of many organizations, and others who have a stake in the future of our community," said U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez for the District of New Mexico. "We are thankful to everyone who has spoken to us. The anticipated final court-enforceable agreement, which we hope to enter into with the city of Albuquerque, is already stronger because of the input we have received."
DOJ and the City have released the joint statement of principles to inform APD officers and the Albuquerque community that their concerns and ideas have been heard and that their ongoing participation will be critical to achieving sustainable reform. Specifically, the joint statement of principles announces that DOJ and the City expect to develop reforms in the eight areas outlined in the department's findings letter: use of force policies, interactions with individuals with mental illness and other disabilities, tactical units, training, internal investigations and civilian complaints, management and supervision, recruitment and selection of officers, and community engagement and oversight. The joint statement of principles also indicates that the goal is to reach a court-enforceable agreement that will be overseen by an independent monitor. A copy of the complete joint statement of principles is attached.
During the negotiation process, DOJ remains interested in obtaining recommendations and information related to reforms from the public. DOJ continues to monitor the APD community hotline, which is available for both English and Spanish speakers, (855) 544-5134 and the APD community email address.
DOJ's full report on its investigation of APD and other related information can be found at the U.S. Attorney's Office website and at DOJ's website.

Select your car
You jump in your ride and turn on your favorite song — you're straining to hear the snare drum, but it's still just barely audible. And that dull, fuzzy-sounding bass guitar is just about breaking your heart. Pioneer TS-A Series speakers bring your music back into focus with precise reproduction of instruments and vocals, so all those details you love will really pop.
Pioneer's TS-A1604C component system includes 6-3/4" woofers with stiff carbon-graphite polypropylene cones that ensure clarity in your music's vocals and percussion. Highly elastic polymer surrounds help keep cone movement under control, for smooth, crisp midrange and tight bass. The separate soft dome tweeters deliver warm, dimensional treble, so you'll hear all the overtones that give your music ambiance.
The in-line crossovers direct the high frequencies to the tweeters and low frequencies to the woofers, so your music sounds natural, just as the artist intended. Aim the tweeters towards your ears to give your music a strong live image.

Why install component speakers?
A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.
Pioneer TS-A1604C Reviews
Average Customer Review:
Great sound
These speakers sound great went in easily with supplied plastic rings and wiring harness. Make sure you solder those spade connectors on!! these things kick and just running of an aftermarket head unit with no amp.
Pros: Sound great even without an amp
Cons: can't think of any wish i bought 2 sets instead of 6x9 for rear.
no amp needed
2004 Chevrolet Avalanche
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
great speakers, great price, no amp needed. Put 4 of these in my 03 Avalanche matched with a JVC receiver. These speakers will blow you away.
Pros: Powerful, clear, great bass and even clearer on the upper end.
Sweet Speakers
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
these speakers sound superb with my AVH-P8400BH pioneer receiver they were very easy to install work great with the speaker baffels and there nothing else i can say other then that
Pros: ease of install work great excellent base
Cons: nothing
Front Door speakers 1999 Silverado
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Rhonda suggested the Pioneer TS-A1604C, which worked out great for my vehicle.These speakers are component speakers where the tweeter is seperate from the woofer. The sound is fantastic, the lows and highs and clarity make you realize that anyone that enjoys music needs to get the most out of their vehicle and install component speakers.If you your music you spend enough time in your vehicle have a sound system that delivers.
Pros: Woofers were easy to install, just screw them in. beautiful ful sound what a dfference
Cons: Tweeters we easy for me to install, but most people would have a hard time. I removed my component tweeter from is housing delicatly. the diameterwas almost the same size as the factory tweeter. I was able to super glue my tweeter to the housing that mounted to the door panel and after the glue dried they attached to the door panel just like the factory tweeter. Great fit for my vehicle
Clean and Clear
1999 Dodge Durango
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I got these to replace the factory front door speakers in my '99 Durango. The truck came with the Infinity sound system, so it has a little factory amp, and when I installed the new Kenwood KDC-X995 deck, the factory speakers lasted about two weeks. These Pioneer's sound great. I really wanted to buy the Polk MM6501, but they were out of budget. I'm totally satisfied with the Pioneer separates. They don't reproduce the lowest lows, but really, they're 6 1/2" door speakers, who is expecting that? I'm sure they could use more amp for themselves, but sound great as-is. Time to save up for a sub setup and really let these speakers shine.
Pros: Very clear and clean sound. Replacing the factory Infinitys is like the difference switching from tapes to CDs.
Cons: Tweeters were a real pain. They aren't big enough to cover the factory door holes, so they have to mount behind the Infinity grills that block half the sound.
Pioneer TS-A1604C
2005 Toyota 4Runner
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I've had these speakers for a good 6 months installed to replace my factory speakers (2005 4Runner/using a Pioneer head-unit). The one lacking thing was the lack of bass from them, which for some may not be a big deal, but drove me nuts since the day I installed them. I finally broke down and bought a 50wx4 channel amp to power these (as well as two other rear speakers) and it has made a world of difference. As others have posted without a decent separate amp, these may be lacking sound depending on your setup.
Pros: Easy install / Crutchfield install docs!
Cons: Not so much bass prior to installing an amp.
great sound
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
order came in short order, speakers sound fantastic compared to the factory speakers and were a breeze to install thanks to the instruction sheet that came with them. i would recomend them to anyone wanting to upgrade their factory speakers.
Pioneer TS-A1604C
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I installed these speakers in the factory locations of the front doors on my 2000 Toyota 4Runner with the factory head unit. These speakers are a huge improvement over the factory speakers and the factory head unit powers them just fine. I am confused by several other reviews I read saying these speakers don't have any bass. After a couple days to a week these speakers loosened up and both me and my 11 year old think they have great bass. Especially for a reasonably priced 6 1/2" speaker. I also bought and installed a Dynamat Xtreme door kit for the front doors and did that at the same time. Maybe that helped with the bass response?
I did have to use contact cement to glue the tweeters to the factory tweeter bracket since the original factory tweeters were attached with a screw directly into the back of the tweeter but that seems to have worked just fine. Also not having to install separate crossovers was nice.
I think these speakers are a great value and I will probably replace the rear speakers in my 4Runner with the matching Pioneer 5 1/4" 2 way or 3 ways.
execelent stock replacement
2006 Chevrolet Avalanche
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
i installed these speakers in the front doors of my 2006 avalanche. they fit extremely well with minor modifications. drill out the old tweeter and mount in the new one, no problem. wiring harness is nice and directions are easy. i have the factory standard stero and the speakers sound really good. this set up is perfect for an easy upgrade.
Factory Replacement in Accord
2005 Honda Accord LX
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I installed these a few weeks ago in my wifes Accord. We decided to keep the
factory receiver. The install went pretty smooth, I needed to drill new mounting
holes for the door speakers. The dash speakers were difficult to reach and
even harder to splice the short factory wires. A wire harness would be worth
gold there. Once the connections were made I had to glue the tweets to the
factory bracket / grill. First I did a little research online from other Accord owners
to get a feel for what I was in for. I was able to change all six speakers in two
and a half hours.
Overall the sound quality has been dramatically improved, my wife now actually
keeps the volume lower than before.
I replaced speakers in my truck years ago and lost bass,and was not surprised
at all when we lost bass now. Do not expect to get deep bass out of these, they
may loosen up in a few more weeks but I'm not holding my breath. However
they do deliver great mids and highs.
Clean and Clear but no Bass response
I bought these because the specs looked good but was surprised at the lack of
bass and overall output.
I would recommend the Polk Audio db5251 instead.

Product Research
Woofers: Each woofer features a Carbon Graphite IMPP (Injection Molded Polypropylene) interlaced Aramid fiber cone. With interlacing long Aramid fibers, this Carbon Graphite IMPP cone design provides the strength and rigidity powerful bass requires.
Woofer Mounting: The woofers can be mounted easily in standard 6-3/4" and four hole 6-1/2" applications; they will also fit into standard 6-1/2" openings, but they don't have the 6-1/2" bolt pattern (three hole), so new screw holes must be drilled.
Tweeters: The TS-A1604C system features 3/4" soft-dome tweeters with magnetic fluid and Neodymium magnets for efficient, crisp, clear highs.
Tweeter Mounting: The tweeters can be flush mounted or surface mounted using the supplied housings. The surface mount housing positions the tweeters at approximately a 50° angle. Once installed the tweeters do not swivel.

Roundtable: Baylor's recruitment of Wall
At the College Basketball Roundtable each week, we ask each member of the coverage staff for their opinion about a recent topic.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: What do you think of John Wall's recruitment? Wall, the nation's No. 1 prospect from the 2009 class, is expected to soon commit to Baylor - where his travel coach Dwon Clifton was hired as the director of player development on Friday. Clifton was reportedly offered jobs at other Big 12 and Big East schools that were pursuing Wall.
Personally, I don't care who anyone hires.
If a head coach thinks it benefits his program to hire a certain person, that is between the head coach, his program and the athletic department.
Hiring prospects' relatives, coaches or anyone else who can help a head coach land a coveted recruit has been going on for as long as I can remember.
I think there are two clear perspectives here: If it's your favorite team that makes such a hire, the program is doing what it takes within the rules to be successful. If one of your rivals makes such a hire, then you think it's a shady practice.
Jerry Meyer, National Analyst, basketball recruiting
I don't necessarily blame Baylor here. The Bears are following a precedent set long ago. When Larry Brown was at Kansas he was able to land a highly coveted recruit named Danny Manning by hiring Manning's father to his staff. Just last year, Arizona State gave the high school coach of five-star recruit James Harden a job on its coaching staff. Harden committed to the Sun Devils soon thereafter.
I blame the NCAA for ignoring these kinds of tactics. We need a rule in place saying a school cannot hire a family member or a former coach of a recruit. If they really want to coach, go knock on the door of the other 340-plus Division-I schools. Guys like Clifton helped Wall get where he is today, but they are also using a teenage kid to help further themselves. Anyone is smart enough to know that isn't right.
Andrew Skwara, Staff writer, college basketball
This sort of recruiting tactic happens more than you think. Kansas hired Mario Chalmers' father, Ronnie, before he enrolled at the Big 12 school. New Mexico hired noted AAU coach Chris Walker, who was also a former high-major assistant, and his former players made quick decisions to be Lobos.
These things happen. Baylor is doing what has already been done. More times than not, the person that is hired is usually fairly qualified for the job.
Clifton's hiring by Baylor just falls in line with similar situations.
Justin Young, Senior writer, basketball recruiting

Critical Area Rulemaking

Rulemaking Overview
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has been charged by the state legislature with writing new rules for the Mississippi River Critical Area, a protected corridor from Dayton to Hastings that is also a National Park. The new rules will delineate and define new districts within the critical area corridor and establish minimum guidelines and standards for development within these districts.
The rulemaking process is an administrative process undertaken by the DNR Commissioner to develop rules that govern and guide development in the Mississippi River Corridor. The rules established by the DNR will serve as minimum guidelines for local municipalities to write local zoning ordinances for areas within the river corridor. Municipalities are required to get DNR approval for all revisions to their zoning ordinances in the Mississippi River Corridor and to notify DNR in advance of any project proposals with variances to the local ordinance, so the DNR can weigh in on the decision. Final approval for variances and other discretionary actions remains the responsibility of the local municipality.
The legislation adopted in the 2009 session requires the DNR to do several things:
- Commence the rulemaking process by January 15th, 2010
- Through the rulemaking process, define new districts that consider the intent of the existing districts from Executive Order 79-19, and protect:
- major natural river features, including scenic, ecological, and geologic resources
- improvements such as parks, trails, natural areas, recreation areas, and interpretive centers
- use of the Mississippi River as a source of drinking water
- resources identified in the National Park Services' Comprehensive Management Plan for the corridor
- resources identified in the comprehensive plans of local municipalities
- Identify standards and guidelines for the corridor that take into consideration existing plans and ordinances, and protect the following features:
- floodplains, wetlands, gorges, areas of confluence with key tributaries, natural drainage routes, shorelines and riverbanks, bluffs, steep slopes and very steep slopes, unstable soils and bedrock, significant existing vegetative stands, tree canopies, and native plant communities, scenic views and vistas, publicly owned parks, trails, and open spaces, cultural and historic sites and structures, and water quality.
- Create a map of bluffs (natural topographic features of >18% slope and 10 foot rise), and steep slopes (natural topographic features of between 12% and 18% slope over 50 feet in length or more.) Then, stakeholders should review those maps for accuracy and reasonableness, and the DNR should adjust them as appropriate. The resulting adjusted map would be finalized, and would itself serve as the bluff definition in rule.
To kick-off the rulemaking process, DNR published an official request for comments and organized four stakeholder advisory groups to participate in drafting the rules. FMR staff were appointed to all four geographically determined stakeholder advisory committees: Northwest Ramsey and Dayton to the Minneapolis border; Urban West Minneapolis to Ft. Snelling; Urban East St Paul, Mendota Heights and Lilydale; and Southeast Maplewood and South St. Paul to Ravenna Township.These stakeholder groups met several times in 2010 to provide feedback on draft rules. More information on these groups can be found on the DNRs website.
The DNR had initially expected to have a draft rule available for public comment by the beginning of 2011. Although extensive work was completed to draft the new rules, the DNR was not able to meet the statutory deadline for filing the notice in January 2011. Now, a shift in the political landscape a new governor, a new DNR commissioner and a new legislature has combined to create a foggy picture of what the next steps will be in the rule-making process.
A draft of new Mississippi River Critical Area rules is close to complete, but with a changed political landscape it is uncertain if and when the important new rules will be published for formal public review. FMR staff will be closely monitoring the situation as the new administration and new legislature move forward.
Should the process continue, an administrative law judge will then preside over a formal review and hearing process, which could in theory be held later in 2011.
FMR's Continued Work on Rulemaking
FMR has actively participated in the process in a variety of ways. In addition to providing verbal input at the stakeholder meetings, FMR created extensive research and comments on the DNR's proposed districts and standards that are available below. Nearly 500 people reinforced this effort by signing FMR's petition to the DNR in support of strong rules to protect the unique and significant natural, scenic, cultural and recreational assets of the river corridor. To review our comments or learn more about the rulemaking process, visit FMR's Critical Area web fact sheet and the DNR's website via the links below.
We are reaching out to other members of the stakeholder groups and environmental and civic organizations to discuss shared goals and coordinate our advocacy efforts. FMR is also staying in close touch with members of the legislature that authored the legislation to keep them apprised of the rulemaking effort. If you would like to learn more or get involved, please see our contact information below.
FMR Research and Comment Documents:
- FMR Proposed Revised River Districts (1/2010)
- FMR Initial Comments on Critical Area Rulemaking (3/22/2010)
- FMR River Resources & Rules Report (5/2010)
- FMR Comments on Draft Districts (6/30/2010)
- FMR Preliminary Comments on Standards (7/23/2010)
- FMR Comments on Draft Standards (8/13/2010)
Here is a sampling of the most important recommendations from our comments:
- Base the new districts on the unique ecological, cultural and geomorphic reaches of the river. Rather than divide the Critical Area into small districts based on land use, the districts instead should respond to the broad-based geomorphic, cultural, and ecological systems in each portion of the river corridor, and vary standards accordingly.
- Pursue parkland dedication. FMR has urged the DNR work to develop a robust mechanism to achieve parkland dedication and open space protection in the corridor. Local municipalities often require new subdivisions to dedicate a portion of their land (or cash in lieu of land) to create new parkland, and we hope the rules can refine similar rules to protect the river corridors key assets. The areas we are particularly concerned with are riverfront areas and areas of particular scenic or ecological value. The Mississippi River Critical Area boundaries are the identical boundaries shared by the Mississsippi National River and Recration Area (MNRRA). In this context, protecting the National Park becomes especially important.
- Open space dedication. In new development at the exurban ends of the corridor, we recommend a robust standard for open space dedication, such as the 50% standard that already exists in cities like Ramsey.
- Trail easements. We hope the new rules will require new subdivisions to dedicate easements for all new trails.
- Riverfront access. FMR would like the rules will require new subdivisions to provide enhanced and/or expanded riverfront access.
- Density and lot size requirements. The rules should set density and lot size requirements appropriate to the surrounding context, and in a way that maximizes the protection of resources along the river corridor. Lower density areas are appropriate at the ends of the corridor.
- Lot frontage requirements. Requirements for minimum lot widths along the riverfront are needed to protect and enhance existing scenic and open character.
- Use of LIDAR-quality data to identify topographic elements throughout the corridor. Based on the DNRs cost estimate for rulemaking, FMR worked with the legislature to secure the DNR a $500,000 appropriation for the process, which included acquisition of LIDAR-quality data on the topography of the river corridor. LIDAR is a much better quality data set than the existing data, allowing more detail and refinement, and the ability to rely on a more robust data set to create credible topographic maps.
- Identification of bluff-related features on map. With support from the League of Minnesota Cities and others, FMR helped pass the legislation that sets the rulemaking process in motion in 2009 (see above). That legislation describes a two-stage bluff-identification process that FMR worked closely with the League to develop. The first step creates a preliminary bluff map based on stock definitions identified in law. Stakeholders can then comment on the merit of that definition, and the DNR can adjust the preliminary map accordingly to create a final bluff map. That final bluff map (rather than a set of verbal standards) is adopted as the bluff definition in rule.
- Setback from the blufftop, bluff toe, and steep slopes. These setbacks should be set to respond to the unique conditions on each part of the river, and be substantial enough to protect the key natural and scenic features in each part of the river.
- Height limits. Height limits are a key protection in critical area law to protect scenic quality. In places like St. Pauls West Side Flats, a few extra feet of height can make the difference between protecting an expansive seven-mile-long view of the river valley on the one hand, or losing that view permanently to poorly-planned development. In the two downtowns and other mixed use areas of the corridor, building heights should step down as they get closer to the river.
- Scenic quality analysis. FMR has asked that the DNR look specifically to identify areas and viewsheds of particularly high scenic quality, and take steps as appropriate toward protecting those views from poorly-planned development decisions.
- Water quality protection. The legislation specifically directs the DNR to protect water quality, and FMR has urged DNR to establish a strong set of water quality standards for the corridor. Our recommendation is to model the standards after those developed by one of the local Watershed Districts, such Ramsey-Washington Metro WD or Rice Creek WD* Historic and Cultural Resources. Historic districts and sites in the corridor need to be identified and standards and guidelines should protect historical and cultural resources in many of the corridor districts. Where possible, these guidelines should support and enhance local and national guidelines.
- Notification and administration requirements. Local units of government are required to submit applications for discretionary zoning actions (variances, conditional use permits and the like) to the DNR 10 days before a final decision is made. FMR has proposed the DNR set up a repository of all applications for variances and conditional use permits online, that would permit applicants to easily submit such information online, allowing for a more transparent reporting of deviations from the Critical Area requirements. Local municipalities would retain the ability to approve variances and conditional use permits without a process of DNR approval.
Dispelling the Myths
Stakeholders and other interested parties bring a variety of perspectives to the prospect of new rules for the corridor. They also bring many questions and some confusion. Below is a brief list of issues and statements designed to clear up some of the mis-information.
- The Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area is not a new program of land use regulation. The MRCCA was established in 1976 and local ordinances have been guided by state standards for more than 30 years. New rules will update and modernize these decades-old standards.
- Local government units will remain the vehicle by which land use, zoning and discretionary actions will be decided. The authority of the DNR under new rules will remain exactly the same as it is now.
- The new rules will apply to all land within the corridor, however, many provisions such as open space dedication and requirements for public river access will only apply to subdivisions and new development.
- The new rules will allow for non-conforming uses and standards to continue in the corridor according to Minnesota state law.
- The new rules allow for hydropower and other river-dependent utilities and uses.
- FMR played a central and integral role in passing the Critical Area reform legislation in 2009. Now that the rulemaking process is underway, however, FMR is simply a stakeholder with no greater access to the process than any other stakeholder.
- To date, FMR has not studied the issue of the future of the Coon Rapids Dam and does not have an official position on whether or not to keep the dam in place, what it should be operated for, or who should operate it.

- Then, beginning readers learn to parse the printed word into graphemes and subsequently assign phonemes to the different graphemes.
- There were more deviations from the normal pattern in the pointed experiment, where dyslexies had to process both graphemes and diacritic signs than in the nonpointed experiment.

- Those authors presented words in a study phase, accompanied by one of three types of questions, about the graphemic, phonemic or semantic properties of the word.
- Selecting the correct word requires the user to attend to the specific/unique characteristics (e.g., phonemic, graphemic, morphemic) of the word among other, similar sounding and looking words.
- Our reasoning was that the passive condition ensured that the children received visual / graphemic and phonological input exactly at the same time, which might be important for forming the relevant associations.

I purchased these wax strips a few months ago, and this was my first time trying a product from the Parissa brand. I bought this set because I thought it might be a good choice for removing some of the little hairs on my upper lip. The first time that i used a strip, I think I rushed into the process because I was so curious about trying it out for the first time. I cut one of the strips in half and used it that way. The wax removed a fair amount of hair, but I was left with a lot of residue that didn't start to go away until a few days later. I had applied the azulene oil as well as olive oil, but nothing seemed to help. My skin was noticeably flaky / dry for a few days on that area. I was a bit discouraged after that first experience, but I decided to try the strips again after some time had passed. The next time, I made sure to cut the strips into very small pieces, and this made them a lot easier to use and control. I didn't experience the same problems that i had the first time that I tried. I've been using them this way for a few months so far, and I like them quite a bit. I'm still not very experienced with waxing, but I give this product a good rating. I would like to try out some of the other Parissa products as well.

These are HG for me. I take a sharpie and looking in the mirror trace my eyebrow over the strip and let the ink dry, then use scissors to cut the strips into the right shapes for my arch. It almost completely eliminates the need for tweezing and as long as you use the azulene afterwards, which comes in the box, it leaves very little redness. I also use this on my upper lip peach fuzz and so far haven't had bad reactions like with other waxes. I've used these on the bikini line but honestly, for that much trouble and that many strips I'd rather just go to a professional or shave.

Perfect for brow touch-ups. I'll definitely repurchase. Easy to use, painless, great for in-between waxes.

I love this product.. but not for my face. It works wonderfully on the bikini line, probably because the hairs are a lot thicker, longer, and coarser than on the face.. much more to grab onto. I found that this very rarely worked on my face, and even on a "good day" it took off just over half the hair. I only have peach fuzz, really, so it makes sense; though in a salon/spa, they're able to remove all the hair, so clearly not salon quality.
However, it works fabulously on the bikini line, pretty easy to use although you definitely do need to practice a bit. I'm still having a bit of trouble getting all the hair, but it does work for the most part. The only con is that I've been noticing some pimples and ingrowns which I think has been caused by this product. I've been told that waxing in general, especially when done incorrectly, can cause ingrowns quite easily so I'm sure that it is my technique. Either way, it is a good product that is pretty cheap, and worth checking out. For a wax that is cheap, easy to use, and doesn't require heating/any other apparatus, it is a good quality product. I may one day invest in a whole set of professional wax, the heater thing, etc. but for now, this $8 box does the trick. Certainly beats paying $45+ for a professional Brazilian, especially since I can get two Brazilians and an upper lip wax out of one box (admittedly, the upper lip waxing doesn't work too well).. though I'm sure that a pro could do a better job than I do.
EDIT: I just tried Nair Soft Touch wax strips.. mostly because I realized it was MUCH cheaper than the Parissa (the Nair was on sale so it ended up being the same price as the Parissa, usually it is about $3 more but you get twice the product).
I was really dubious because I've just always heard bad things about Nair. Oh man.. the Nair ROCKS. So much better than Parissa.. I probably won't ever go back to the Parissa.
In short: the best Brazilian I've ever given myself. Much cleaner, faster, and easier to use. I'm a convert!

I am always trying new at home waxing stuff for my upper lip and chin. I've always been disappointed by cold wax strips before - the Sally Hansen ones barely worked and left a lot of wax on my skin. I picked up these at Ulta with very low expectations (although I had tried other Parissa wax products and been pretty impressed). I tried them on my upper lip and chin and LOVED them! They really got almost every hair - even shorter and coarser hairs. It left very little wax residue (which came up easily when the azulene oil is used on it - included in the kit) and was very quick and easy. I will definitely be buying these again for use on my face.

I but the Sensitive formula wax strips and am IN LOVE with this product. I have trouble finding it except for at Whole Foods but it is so painless on my face and bikini line.

I'm so impressed with these strips! I never thought I'd be the type to wax my own bikini line, but here I am! I tried a few of the Sally Hansen waxing kits a few years ago and had little luck, and decided waxing wasn't for me. Then I read in a magazine about how great these strips are, and thought, okay, I'll try it. Glad I did! They are VERY easy to use, not messy at all. I heat the strips between my hands for a minute, and it works fine. Yes, it does hurt, but it is very effective. I have no hairs left behind when I do it properly (keeping the skin taught, pulling hard enough). Not too much sticky residue left behind either, nothing that can't come off with a touch of the oil included in the package. As far as irritation goes...I put lotion on directly after and the next day, and that seems to be working fine.
I stocked up on these recently, because I never want to go back to shaving.

Quick and easy.
I love how un-messy it is :)
Heat it between your hand enough or else it won't pull them off properly.

Quick and easy? HA! painful and ineffective? you bet. Used this on my upper lip and took like maybe 4 hairs out and left a mess of wax on my lip. Gross.

this review is for the leg & body strips, not the face & bikini. i absolutely LOVE this product, it is probably my highest HG body product ever. i wax my bikini line at home, and this is the quickest, easiest way i have found. the results are consistent. i have tried gigi stripless bikini wax and HATED it. these are so simple to use. you just rub between your hands to warm them, separate, then apply and pull them off. they work on even the coarsest of hair. the azulene oil is wonderful. i apply a liberal amount to both palms and then massage the waxed area. all of the wax residue comes off this way and it soothes your skin. LOVE THESE!!

Where have you gone, Rep. Charlie Wilson?
According to his Wikipedia biography, Wilson, a Democratic congressman from Texas between 1973 and 1997, was reliably liberal on domestic issues. "He battled for the regulation of utilities, fought for Medicaid, tax exemptions for the elderly, the Equal Rights Amendment and a minimum wage bill," it says, adding, "He was also one of the few prominent Texas politicians to be pro-choice on abortion."
Not much to like there. But as viewers of the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" know, he was also a staunch anti-communist. Wilson found ways to send money and material to Afghan forces fighting Soviet domination. Even under a Republican administration, he understood that it was more important to win victories in the Cold War than to score partisan political points.
That attitude was even more prevalent on the other side of the aisle.
Recall that, in 1976, then Republican vice presidential candidate Bob Dole endured a lot of criticism for speaking about the "Democrat wars of the 20th century." He was certainly correct in that Democratic presidents did, indeed, take the country into World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam.
Yet Republicans in Congress and those running for president supported our troops in the field and their mission throughout each of those conflicts. They understood the enemy was overseas, not on the other side of Washington's divide.
Consider Korea. When running for president, Dwight Eisenhower staunchly criticized the Truman administration, but not from the left. Ike said Truman had been unwilling to confront our communist enemies. The North Koreans were empowered to invade, Eisenhower explained, because the U.S. had withdrawn from the peninsula.
Eisenhower announced he wanted to end the war in Korea, but only when South Korea was safe. And even when the war was over, the U.S. wouldn't pull completely out of South Korea. "United Nations forces in reserve positions and supporting roles would be an assurance that disaster would not again strike," he announced.
Compare that to today's politicians.
In his television ads, Barack Obama promises to "end" the war in Iraq. By that he means American involvement in Iraq. "Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq," his campaign Web site explains. "He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months."
He never mentions the inevitable consequences: We'd instantly lose all the progress of the last year, and virtually guarantee a new round of vicious sectarian fighting. Maybe President Obama could put a "Save Baghdad" sign on the White House lawn next to the "Save Darfur" one that's bound to sprout there on the day he takes office.

How Ecstasy Has Evolved in the New Millennium
Colorful, candy-like pills have been replaced with gelcaps, but despite what some people think, that doesn't mean the drug has gotten any purer or safer.

A British dealer explains what it's like to navigate the world of parties, police, other dealers, and shady situations.
A primer on the kind of trouble you'll find yourself in if you're busted for drug possession in the UK.
They are locked in a dead mad scientist's lab and tasked with finding an antidote to the disease that has overtaken the world. Also, they are on drugs.
They won't remember you but you'll remember them for the rest of your life.
A new study authorized by the FDA focusing on subjects suffering from severe anxiety stemming from a life-threatening condition aims to find out.
"All the stereotypes are true," a dealer and model agent told us. "They aren't even stereotypes—they're just true."
I sat down with a life coach to discuss what her experiences with MDMA have taught her about building better relationships.
We asked a medical expert, and then snapped some photos of people on drugs just to make sure.
We looked into which drugs will compromise your chances of conceiving, which drugs will screw up your pregnancy, and which ones are, all things considered, relatively safe.
The older you get, the less wise it is to habitually use cocaine, meth, weed, acid, or heroin—especially if you're planning on having a child in the near future. We got an expert panel to explain just what drugs will do to your "little swimmers."
When it comes to legal intoxicants, alcohol is still the only game in town. But with a massive pharmacopeia and scientific infrastructure at our disposal, that makes pretty much zero sense.
There is absolutely no question Shulgin was a unique visionary and extraordinary chemist. But it would be a mistake to think that his career was the product of an entirely unique understanding of chemistry—and that was his greatest power.
Traumatized by the deaths of two of his friends in a truck-bomb attack, Tony Macie was prescribed conventional medication to treat his PTSD after returning to the US. When that wasn't working out for him, he started to research alternative remedies.
Driving a Lyft in the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles can be a harrowing experience. It can also lead to some memorable moments.
MDMA has caused something of a stir here in the US recently. Ever since Miley bragged about "dancing with molly" like one of those tedious nerds who brags about ripping bongs for breakfast, columnists have had a field day analyzing why we've all fallen in…
I went to Andy Animal's Meltdown Funabration Weekender in the Catskills this weekend. I should have taken more photos of the shows but I was tripping balls and someone kept handing me a bottle of rosé with molly in it. Sorry, Mom!
It started in my limbs and made its way up my ribcage, until everything tingled. I had just popped a molly. My teeth ached from smiling. I chewed my gum into mush. The bass made my bones vibrate. But all of a sudden, things got weird. Later I found out wh…
A few months ago I tried molly for the first time in the bathroom of a bar in Brooklyn. I dissolved the powder in water, drank it, and waited till I felt different. A short while later, fireworks exploded all over my brain. Then, just like that, everythin…
The hip-hop community's embrace of molly has been striking, since historical stereotypes dictate that rappers are normally more interested in chilled-out drugs like cough syrup and weed. But one hip-hop group from Brooklyn called Stereo Marz is not onboar…
You think when that John Keats guy wrote the poem "Ode to a Grecian Urn," he was describing an actual Grecian urn? No way. These are symbolic metaphors we're dealing with. That urn was probably his Greek grandma who was a good singer or something.
With its liberal stance on drugs, the Netherlands has been one of the top producers of ecstasy for the past decade. What isn't going to make you want someone to touch your genitals is that, like all manufacturing, the by-products of illicit narcotics have…
Sleeping with the dopeman seems like a good idea at first. He's got a job where makes a ton of money and he's a hit at parties and social gatherings. The down side is he doesn't know how to put a barrier between his home life and his work life.

Pennsylvania/New York Challenge @ Villanova Sat.
Curtis Sumpter) up close, not to mention Division I prospects Quincy Douby and Ben Luber. On Saturday, Feburary 2, Villanova University will be hosting the Pennsylvania/New York Challenge at the Pavilion. Games will be running all throughout the day and just $5 gets you in to see all the action! Fortunately for die-hard cat fans, the Bishop Loughlin game will not compete with the VU-Pitt battle (scheduled for 4pm). Here is the official scheduleThis weekend gives Villanova fans the opportunity to see one of our star recruits (
Date: Saturday, February 2, 2002
12:00 noon Newtown vs CB East
The first two games feature struggling Pennsylvania squads. CB East and Pennsbury both play in the Suburban One league in suburban philadelphia and our struggling to reach the .500 mark. Newtown and New Utrecht, representing New York ...
The college basketball fans will not want to miss the next two games. Grady High School features Quincy Douby who signed with Hofstra in the fall. Most consider this a recruiting steal for the Pride, as Quincy has had an impressive senior campaign, including a 64 point game this past Wednesday. Douby leads all scores in NYC this season with 36 ppg. Grady will be facing Council Rock High which is led by an all-state point guard in Ben Luber. Most 'Nova fans will recall that one of Council Rock's most famous alumni is none other than our own Jay Wright. However, Jay could not land the talented Mr. Luber who verbally committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions recently. Council Rock does not have the role players that Grady does, but this should be an interesting battle of the guards.
The finale will feature Bishop Loughlin led by none other than Villanova signee Curtis Sumpter. Loughlin is 8-7 on the season (although with a brutal schedule.) They are just off a heart-breaking loss to Rice, where Sumpter scored 30 points in the losing effort. Abington is from the same suburban one league that CB East and Pennsbury come from, but they have faired very well on the season with a 15-4 record. They do not have any "stars", but have a very solid team that should give Loughlin a run for their money in this finale.
