90210 E! News E! Specials E! Coty Prestige has tapped the Lost star to be the face of its new ad campaign for Cool Water Woman, a deal that makes even more sense when one remembers that Josh Holloway -the Sawyer side of the Emmy-winning drama's Lilly love triangle-became the face of the brand's classic men's scent last year. Cool Water "definitely represents the juxtaposition between purity and sensuality, and there's that sort of fresh newness," Lilly said in a statement.

On top of it, there's strength that's underneath it all, that is where sensuality comes from-versus just pure sexiness." Lilly, a Golden Globe nominee last year for her role as misunderstood fugitive turned Oceanic 815 survivor Kate Austen, has also modeled for Michelle K footwear and high-end carpet and rug-maker Karastan. The first Cool Water print ads and TV spots featuring Lilly-the 28-year-old's first fragrance campaign-will roll out in July.

Some local companies might have a problem filling positions this summer after a program that assisted seasonal workers has all but vanished. VIDEO : Watch The Report In 2005, the federal government passed a law allowing willing employers to hire foreign workers legally for jobs that couldn't be filled otherwise. The program, H2-B Returning Worker Visa Provision, is now stalled in Congress, leaving the Bruce Co. WISC-TV reported.

We need them here in April and we need them here in November," said company president Bliss Nicholson. We could find all kinds of people, but we couldn"t find someone that was legal." Nicholson said that for the past 10 years, his company had a hard time filling seasonal, manual labor positions.

You're out working in the dirt, you're digging holes," explained Nicholson. Each summer, the Bruce Co. 56 migrant workers hired under the H2-B Visa, a legal work permit for seasonal workers, WISC-TV reported. They did landscaping, irrigation. Everything they did would be outside. They were very, very dependable workers," said Nicholson.

The seasonal workers act allows for seasonal workers to return every year, but the provision hasn't yet been extended again by Congress. So for now, the Bruce Company has no other option. For these essential workers, where the job requirements are barely high school graduate, there's no experience required, there's no other category that you can put it into," said immigration attorney Sardar Durrani.

They had all the right paperwork to do that, they paid taxes, they did everything they should do," said Nicholson. It's a sad thing after doing all these things, jumping through all these hoops then they are told, no you can't have it," said Durrani. Durrani said there are bigger implications from the stalled bill.

The consequence is either employers don't hire anybody, they shut down the business, or they are pushed into hiring someone who is not legal in United States," said Durrani. Now, some small business owners nationwide are banding together to press members of Congress to sign the extension.

There are people coming across the border everyday and here are some people that were really committed to do it right again that are penalized, and to me that's the shame of it," said Nicholson. Immigration attorneys said that migrant workers who come to work in the U.S. The Bruce Co. Copyright 2008 by Channel 3000.

Direct sun heats up the solution and it may ferment. She encourages hummingbird lovers to make their own solution of 1 4 part of white granulated sugar to one part of water. To attract more, add food coloring to solution. Stay away from additives such as honey or brown sugar. Put your feeder out now, as summer hummingbirds soon will be returning. If you really want to know, males come first and females follow about 10 days later.

There are some hummingbirds that stay here year-round. Avoid putting seeds in containers. Seeds spill on the ground as birds scramble for them and that attracts pigeons. Most homeowners' associations forbid seed feeders because of pigeons.

She also recommends placing perches nearby, so birds can survey the situation before approaching feeders. One was a big rotating barrel. Where can we get one? We don't have much space but want to start composting. A: Google "compost tumblers" and you'll find many to select from that take up very little space. Perhaps more importantly, they don't require much work to rotate.

This particular compost tumbler is three-feet square and stands as high. You remove the cap and toss in green material and give the barrel a few turns. The more you turn it, the sooner you get the final product -- humus. Q: Our Chinaberry berries are starting to drop. Can we prevent new flowers from setting fruit? A: Berries dropping is a mess.

Use the same chemical used to stop olives to prevent new blossoms from setting on. And speaking of olives, spray them to prevent pollen production and olives setting on. Q: We have a small lot and are considering a five-in-one apple tree. Is this a good idea? A: These curious trees consist of a rootstock with five different apple varieties grafted on to it.

The trees are not as easy to grow as one might expect. More often than not, one grafted variety will dominate others, thus requiring closer scrutiny when pruning to avoid cutting off other varieties. It is hard to distinguish one variety from another. On the other hand, they are beautiful when blooming with multicolors and with their different fruit later in season. Q: Should I put in a genetic dwarf peach tree or a normal one?

A: Nurseries create genetic dwarf fruit trees by propagating a naturally very compact variety on a standard-size rootstock. The genetic dwarf trees are compact and short; few exceed seven feet in height, with an equal spread.

You can fit one neatly into the smallest garden or tub, or plant four in the same space it takes to grow one standard tree. They bear normal-size fruit, with most producing about a fifth as much as regular fruit trees. They look almost muscular, with closely spaced leaves and fruit buds. These midgets are easy to care for, require very little pruning, and if pests spring up, are easy to spray. Q: We planted an apple tree last year and are wondering when it will start producing fruit.

A: It takes apples three to four years to produce, but expect a few this season. I might add that figs, grapes, nectarines, peaches and plums take three years to start, and apricots, citrus, pears, pecans and persimmons take a year or two longer. Q: I suspect we'll get a late frost. What can I do to protect my fruit trees from frost? A: If that becomes the case, cover them with tarps that reach to the ground to trap warmth coming from it.

If it gets real cold, hang Christmas lights on trees and cover it with a tarp. Q: Is it true grass clippings cause thatch if left on the lawn? A: A resounding no! Thatch is a layer of organic material composed of roots, rhizomes, crowns and stolons. These plant parts have high lignin content that is very slow to decompose. If thatch dries out, it repels and wastes water.

Grass clippings decompose in a hurry, returning valuable nutrients to the lawn to reduce your fertilizer bill. Q: We have a hybrid Bermuda lawn with dead patches in it. Can we reseed them? A: No. Hybrid Bermuda doesn't produce seeds. You need to sod in spots. Clean out dead areas and lay in new grass and keep moist until it roots in.

Did you know hybrid Bermuda grass is good for someone suffering from allergies because it doesn't produce pollen? Q: I planted Mexican Evening Primrose a couple of years ago and was so excited with its blooming ability, but it's now taken over my yard. How do I get rid of it? A: Yes, it is beautiful with its profusion of showy pink flowers. They get the size of a half-dollar on stems that get a foot high.

It does thrive with little or no care once established, but it's invasive and needs controlling, so go after it with a contact weed killer.
