processor still holds plenty to look forward to! We test out overclocking on both QX6850 and E6850 and found the QX6850 to be pretty amazing in overclocking, 5133MHz (4 Cores enabled) with just 1.65v, on the EVGA 680i SLI Motherboard!
While we await Yorkfield Processors, the latest incarnation of the Kentsfield
processor still holds plenty to look forward to! EVGA Rev A2 vintage 680i SLI
Motherboard, together with Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850. This combo runs much
better than my good old QX6700… the amazing thing about this CPU is it's low
requirement of voltage.
Just 1.55v, without any Droop mods on the board, this processor runs through 3D
Mark CPU Test with the 4 cores at 4792MHz, and with just plain old Cascade
With 1.65v, I played for some screenshots, with 4 cores enabled of course!
5133MHz with just 1.65v! For best clocks of course, LN2 has to be employed,
but looking at this, probably 3D Mark stable at 5GHz with LN2 cooling is quite easy.
So much better than my QX6700!

Anglican Church
Also known as the Jesus Church or the Savior Church.
In 1861, British sailors visited in Nazareth. After not locating any church suitable for them, they have approached the leader of the Anglican Church in England and asked him to build a church.
A year later, during Easter, the Prince of Wales was visiting in Nazareth as well (Prince Eduard VI), and donated money for building the church which was built by "The Missionary Church Association" and established in 1871. The Swiss reverent Joseph Sieller**, who served his community for almost 20 years, has donated a lot of his time to this project. The church was built in a Neo-Gothic style according to a design by the Swiss architect Schtedler**.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Lansinoh Labs on Thursday went live with its new online portal, called "Lansinoh Professional" (LansinohProfessional.com), that will provide International board-certified lactation consultants, registered nurses, midwives, doulas, OB/GYNs and other healthcare providers with the resources they need to better educate and support breast-feeding moms.
"A well-informed professional network is a necessity to driving duration rates higher in a country that has fallen short of its breast-feeding goals year after year," stated Gina Ciagne, senior director of breast-feeding relations for Lansinoh. "The network of lactation professionals and healthcare providers is often the first place new moms turn for breast-feeding help. We want these professionals to have easy access to the wealth of information Lansinoh has gathered over [more than] 25 years providing support for breast-feeding moms," she said. "Lansinoh Professional is the bridge that delivers our breast-feeding expertise and information to these professionals and their patients. Lansinoh will continue its commitment to providing information and tools through healthcare providers to as many moms as possible. We want them to have the support needed to make the decision to start, and to continue, breast-feeding."
The new portal, also accessible via Lansinoh's homepage, offers a number of resources to better equip lactation professionals and other healthcare professionals with the tools to respond to their patients' questions and needs, including:
- Breast-feeding 101 for the pregnant and new mom, featuring such information as checklists to prepare for breast-feeding before giving birth, breast-feeding myths vs. facts, what to expect, benefits of breast-feeding and tips for getting dads involved;
- Upcoming national and local events for lactation professionals and healthcare providers where Lansinoh will have a presence through support, donations and exhibits;
- Tips from Lansinoh breast-feeding educators about pumping and storage;
- Details, including research-based evidence, on the efficacy and safety of Lansinoh products;
- How-to videos illustrating breast-feeding techniques and product use;
- Comprehensive resources list for professionals and moms; and
- Featured breast-feeding news and advice from the Lansinoh-sponsored blog, ByMomsForMoms, Facebook page and Twitter page.
Beginning later this year, professionals will be able to order samples of Lansinoh products directly through Lansinoh Professional.

i had been on sick leave which started on april 23 2013. i then called this company and reported that i was sending them a check for $786.13 from a claim on the insurance claim that had occurred before my sick leave. at that time, i had asked them if they could use this check till i go back to work which would not be till june 3rd 2013, and that i would not get a check till around the end of may of 2013. i had talked to a christine at that time she told me that i could use this check toward my payments and to send it in after i sign it. i then sent it in and then two days later a woman name pam talked to me and and was very nasty toward me and demanded to send them money for the payment. i explained to her that i already talked to someone there and she told me that it was ok. she said,"oh, no we cant do that here." i told her i was on sick leave then she demanded that i should send her something from work to prove i was on and that my sick pay is pending at the time she called. i then went to work signed a release information form and then told her to fax my job and get the information. she was very rude and said ,"aww that sounds like too much workl." "you will have to borrow some money to pay this!" after her rude vicious talk here i hung up on her. and then when i got my check at the end of may i then called tebo and had spoke to christine again. i had made a payment of 200.00 at that time and she said i still would have to pay 324.00 on the next pay day and i had mention to her about the check that i sent on the 25th of april. she told me she could not use that. all the while two weeks past and two days and a woman name pam keeps calling and threatening to reposse my vehicle if i do not get a payment in soon. i explain to her that i already paid last friday and she said she wants the rest now. these people keep calling all my references and telling them that i havent paid and keeps harassing me and my family everyday. since then. its really ridculous here and it very nerve wrecking. if i am paying the $324.oo on this next pay which will be next week. where is the payment for $786.13 go to? and how come they arent applying this to my account? back in early part of may they told me they was putting the money toward my principle.

August 27, 2006
By Frank Schaeffer
SALISBURY, Mass. // The Marine Corps has just announced that it is calling back several thousand Marines from inactive reserve units. After Sept. 11, all our president asked of most Americans was to go shopping, travel and maintain the economy. But our service members are asked to make sacrifices most Americans wouldn't dream of.
Many Americans are saying that our troops are sacrificing in vain. They are wrong. So are those who claim that if you want to support the troops, you have to support the president. Both misunderstand the meaning of military service in our democracy.
My youngest son, John, joined the Marines in 1999. Bill Clinton was president. The nightmare of Sept. 11 was still in the realm of the unthinkable. John was trained to serve as a Marine wherever he might be sent, not for any particular war. He served five years and returned safely from two combat tours in Afghanistan - a "good war," according to most pundits and opinion polls - and after a mission in Iraq, a war gone "bad."
I was fortunate. My son survived. A friend lost her only child.
Mindy Evnin's son was killed in Iraq. On a sweltering day last month, my wife and I drove from our home in Massachusetts to Burlington, Vt., to visit Mark's grave. Standing in front of that young Marine's headstone, I was overwhelmed by sorrow, fury at the mishandling of so many aspects of the war by our political leaders and by gratitude for Mark's life well-lived. Those emotions aren't as contradictory as they might seem.
I e-mailed a civilian friend about visiting Mark's grave. "To me," he answered, "the soldiers who are dying in Iraq should not have been there in the first place. ... If they die, they will have died in vain because the war is all a tissue of lies and/or failed policies."
Did Mark and thousands of others die in vain?
We need to take a step back from the bitter debate over the Iraq war and look at the deeper meaning of service. Does it change when wars go badly? If Mark had been killed in Afghanistan, would that have been a more noble sacrifice than being killed in Iraq?
Maybe it would be helpful to consider the significance of service in a less politicized context. When a fireman runs up the stairs while everyone else runs down, the value of his action is unrelated to who started the fire, or whether those saved are "worthy." And the morality of his action doesn't depend on his motives or whether his leaders are truthful or wise. It is all about what he does once he's called upon to act on behalf of all of us.
While we are busy looking out for ourselves, that fireman is busy looking out for us. His willingness to serve is a victory for community, social responsibility, compassion and bravery.
What did Mark die for?
He did not die for George Bush's ever-changing rationalizations: "finding WMD," "freeing Iraq" or "bringing democracy to the Middle East." And in all probability, if he was like my son, Mark never thought much about why he volunteered. The point is, he did, and in combat he acted on the belief that the Marines standing next to him were more important than he was - and, by extension that his country was more important than his individual right to comfort and safety.
Service in our democracy is not about politics. My son's volunteering in the Clinton era, then being sent to two "Bush wars," one "good" and the other "bad," handily illustrates the fact that the act of volunteering has nothing to do with fighting any war in particular and everything to do with service for service's sake.
Volunteering is a pre-political statement. And if you believe that American democracy is worthwhile, no matter what its imperfections, then the act of volunteering to be sent wherever your country needs you must be acknowledged as a priceless gift from the individual citizen to his or her country. This gift's morality doesn't depend on the rightness or wrongness of any war but on the soldier's high-stakes commitment to the value of our democratic experiment.
Mindy wrote me: "I don't know if Mark was a 'hero.' He did what he was asked to do, and he did it without hesitation. ... Maybe that is heroic."
It was. Our troops volunteer with no guarantee of success. They serve with or without support from other Americans. Now, some are being recalled involuntarily to participate in the fragile exercise of self-rule by equipping our government "of the people" to take action.
There are several thousand Marines who thought that their time of duty was done. Now they are going to be sent back into combat. They will be unhappy, even angry. Some will believe the president is wrong to send them, and their families will be sick with worry. But our Marines will go.
Their lives - and, inevitably for some, their deaths - present us with a stark question: Is citizenship only about enjoying personal preferences, or should we take responsibility for those around us, and by extension for our country?
We don't all need to serve in the military, but in the face of the sacrifice of those who do, what is our excuse for just going shopping? How we answer the question posed to us by their service will decide the health, morality and ultimately the survival of our democracy.

Thank you. We sure can be proud of our troops. They will go and that is why this country is the greatest.
I stay out of this stuff but this one is just too good! Thanks George! I like the "Dem. Agenda" as well!
if you don't support the idea of going into Iraq, and you don't agree with the president, you don't support the troops eh? I'd say not going along with sending them into a meat grinder for a lost cause isn't exactly unsupportive.
It's understandable that soldier has no choice but to follow the mission and I commend them for that. But there's no excuse for those that will easily sacrifice them for a lost cause while they sit back confortablly with no chance of being sacrified themselves.
I do see you guys must be coming around if you agree with all the writer has to say where he says " He did not die for George Bush's ever-changing rationalizations: ""finding WMD,"" ""freeing Iraq"" or ""bringing democracy to the Middle East.""
This would have been unspeakable last year when many of you acted as if Bush walked on water. I see now even Bush admits 9/11 had no connection to Iraq even though he and Cheney adamantly used that one for all it was worth.
how do you know Cecil? and I thought I was right about everything! I still say that if Ted Kennedy and Hillary are for it (anything political) I am against it; and your not? well OK then.
I don't care for either one of those two either. So your point was? LOL
Considering Bush is afraid of water I doubt he walks on it.
Good thing. If he fell off a horse as many times as he falls off of bicycles he could end up another Christopher Reeves.
But I just can't imagine how he can call himself a Texas cowboy if he's afraid to ride a horse?
I do not understand, how a small business person and "practicing" believing Christain Catholic can be a democrat or even a liberal! JFK was more republican than most republicans are today! You say you understand so I guess thats what makes the world curn.
But as God is my witness, some of the remarks you make would make a pissant look like Einstein. The gentleman who wrote the editorial is vehemently opposed to the war in Iraq and has said so in many fashions. HOWEVER, his analogy of firefighters and servicemen was to emphasise the point of duty, honor and country. Are you incapable of seeing that. Are you so blinded by political ideology to be able to see the idiocy in your remarks? (That's obviously a rhetorical question.)
I know, I'll get the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ or something else sophomoric out of a person who's supposed to be an adult, but the fact remains. You just don't have a clue.
As we used to say back in fourth grade, "You coppykitter!
I'll ask you the same question: How can you be a catholic christian and outdoorsman and be for Bush and the republican party? You've been hoodwinked if you think the president and the republican party stands for your values. The president has said he doesn't have time for church and only stepped foot in a church one time during his first term. And as you indicated, the present republican party is not what it used to be.
1.) They are NOT fiscally conservative (haven't been since before Reagan -- both Reagan and Bush Senior quadrupled our deficit),
When the democrats call for less spending somethings terribly weird. It's like a flip flop. And Bush has vetoed only one bill in his 6 years in office! And it had nothing to do with spending!
2.) Your party can't stop abortion and they know it, but it didn't stop them from pretending so they could to get your vote. As much as I dispise abortion the supreme court has ruled and when the supreme court has ruled on something that's usually it.
3.) The attempt at a constitutional ammendment against gay unions was a no go and the republican congress critters knew it, but it didn't stop them from pretending, to shore up support from their base.
4.) The flag burning ammendment was a no go and again a play to bolster support from their base.
5.) The republican party is about as friendly to the environment as Colonel Sanders is to chickens. Bush's idea of being an outdoorsman is clearing brush on the property. What's with that?
6.) Your party is composed of chicken hawks with no qualms about sending our young men and women to battle over very questionable intelligence. Funny at one time I remember it was the democrats that were the war hawks.
7.) Bush will proabably get us into WWIII before his term is up.
What do you want a devil you can see or one that is fooling you?
My main mission this fall is to get rid of incumbents both republican and democrat.
BTW that word "liberal" is so overused it doesn't even have any meaning anymore.
Insults but no good arguments. What can I say? At least Jim refrains from "sophmoric" insults and comes up with some good points with a chance for me to respond with my viewpoint.
Saying sacrificing good men and women in a unjustified war is honorable is about as dumb as it gets -- not to mention illogical. Sorry that dog don't hunt and your attempt at bashing me for pointing that out doesn't hunt either.
we're already in WWIII , and as much as you want to blame Bush , he didn't start it.
Like I said the WWII vets at the nearby legion hall would be laughing their butts off on that one. So you're saying the death toll today although terrible matches anything of WWII? Please...
Damn tootin I'll blame Bush. It was his idea to invade Iraq. His father knew better:
"In a foreign policy move that would later be questioned, President Bush achieved his stated objectives of liberating Kuwait and forcing Iraqi withdrawal, then ordered a cessation of combat operations �allowing Saddam Hussein to stay in power. His Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney noted that invading the country would get the United States "bogged down in the quagmire inside Iraq." Bush later explained that he did not give the order to overthrow the Iraqi government because it would have "incurred incalculable human and political costs... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq".[15][16]"
You're wrong...I'm not going to C&P my way to try to convince you of the truth but your post "Hey that's my line Jim!" has more holes in it than swiss cheese. Just because you say so does not make it true. (So now you can put some C&Ps in response). But your assertion that the republican party is not-friendly with the environment is B.S. The Kyoto accords that you libs hang your hat on restricted only the United States as the rest of the world still had no requirements for pollution. DUH! we once again have to abide by rules no-one else is held to. And the reference to the amendment banning flag 'desecration...well I'll leave this one c&p and one can make up their "own" opinion... "The American flag, then, throughout more than 200 years of our history, has come to be the visible symbol embodying our Nation. It does not represent the views of any particular political party, and it does not represent any particular political philosophy. The flag is not simply another "idea" or "point of view" competing for recognition in the marketplace of ideas. Millions and millions of Americans regard it with an almost mystical reverence regardless of what sort of social, political, or philosophical beliefs they may have. I cannot agree that the First Amendment invalidates the Act of Congress, and the laws of 48 of the 50 States, which make criminal the public burning of the flag." The late Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

I love this reel
Perfect reel for what I do - which is fish for sharks off the beach. Loaded up with 60lb hollow and 150 yards of 50lb mono topshot, I have this mounted on a carbon tuna popper which allows me to cast and muscle in a big fish. Just landed a 200lb sand tiger on this yesterday. Liked it so much, I bought a Mak 10 SEA for my surf rod. So smooth and gorgeous.
ProsExtremely smooth, well built, plenty of drag, castable, two speed

I have not had the opportunity to use this reel as off yet but upon initial inspection I will have to admit its mechanical piece of art. The freespool is smooth and endless. The 2 speed mechanism seems smooth and easy to operate, the handle position and grip are comfortable. The build quality seem precise with nice anodizing. So far I will have to agree with Alan Tani's review simply awesome. Thanks Tackle Direct.

" Brand: Lush / Type: Soap "
A while ago, I bought a Blossom gift set which contained a Sakura bath ballistic and a piece of 17 Cherry Tree Lane soap. The products share a scent, which is inspired by Japanese cherry blossom and is made up of mood-lifting orange blossom absolute, sensual jasmine, mimosa absolute and coconut oil. The soap also contains lemon oil to tone and tighten the skin. The soap is light cream in colour and is available to buy at a cost of £3 for 100g on the Lush site. If you buy it separately it comes in a normal rectangular block, but in my gift set it came as a circle of soap with a pretty flower pattern.
***What is Lush?***
Lush is a store that makes toiletries and cosmetics, using natural and organic ingredients where possible and minimising packaging where they can. It started out as a mail order company called Cosmetics to Go, but this failed and the new store, Lush, opened in Poole, Dorset. Later branches of the shop opened in London and beyond, and there are now Lush stores all over the world. As well as in store, you can also buy products from the website, www.lush.co.uk. There are similar websites for many different countries including the USA, Japan and Germany.
Lush buy ingredients only from companies that do not test on animals. All of their products are suitable for vegetarians and many are suitable for vegans.
Lush say: "We believe in happy people making happy soap, putting our faces on our products and making our mums proud.
"We believe in long candlelit baths, sharing showers, massage, filling the world with perfume and in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again."
It's worth pointing out that Lush make all of their soaps without palm oil. Palm oil, a very cheap oil used in everything from food to cosmetics, is in huge demand throughout the world and this is leading to increased deforestation in countries such as Indonesia, meaning that indigenous people are being forced off their land and animals like orangutans are facing extinction. Lush decided to stop using palm oil in their soaps because of this, an ethical choice which I applaud. It's been pointed out to me that Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) which is found inside Lush soaps (as it is in most soaps) is also derived from palm oil. This isn't a good thing but then again I wouldn't put it past Lush to be looking for an SLS alternative as I write - it's a foaming agent and I reckon if there was an alternative they'd be using it. Avoiding the use of palm oil as a soap base in any case reduces the amount of it used.
***What is Retro?***
The Retro range is only available online or via mail order, as it is made up of products that have been discontinued from stores, but were deemed popular enough not to be discontinued completely. Retro products are often more expensive than the normal range of products, as they are made in smaller quantities, but there is some interesting stuff to be found among the products!
***Using my soap***
The soap smelled lovely while solid, really fresh and floral and spring-like. It really did smell like cherry blossom. The soap was easy to hold and lathered up really well on my shower puff. After washing I detected a light fragrance on my skin, although this didn't last once I'd dried and moisturised - in fairness I didn't expect it to.
I didn't notice any obvious toning effects from this soap, although my skin tends to be in fairly good condition anyway. Someone with oily skin may find that this soap makes a difference.
On the downside, the soap seemed to go down really quickly. My piece only lasted just over a week - although I was using it every day during this time, I would expect a piece of soap to last longer than this!
In summary, I really enjoyed using this soap. It really brought the scent of spring to my shower in the morning and helped to make getting up a bit less of a chore. However, l probably wouldn't buy it again as it just gets used up too quickly for me!
17 Cherry Lane is a soap which is sold at Lush Cosmetics stores. The image isn't a fair representation of what the soap I own looks like as it is all white in colour. This is a retro Lush product which means it has been discontinued and is no longer available in store. However, if you visit the retro section of their website you can pick it up from there. I didn't receive this from the website, I instead got it in a gift set which contained this soap and a bath ballistic.
For 100g of the soap it will cost you £3.00 which is fairly expensive for a bar of soap. However, in comparison to some of Lush's other soaps it is one of the cheaper options, and definately worth the money.
The soap is very simple and not too interesting to look at which is unusual for something created by Lush. I find it easier to cut my soap up into chunks when I have received it as it makes it far easier to use and also helps to make it last longer.
The smell of this soap is based on the Japanese cherry blossom scent. If you are a fan of Lush's bath ballistic 'Sakura' it is the same scent as this. They have used lemon oil which helps to tighten the skin, orange blossom to lift the mood and jasmine for a sensual fragrance that lingers. The scent of this is very fresh and floral and definately one for the girls. It is very subtle and not as in your face as some of the other scents Lush offer. It is definately one to look at if you want to smell nice but not too sweet. I have found people that don't like the scent of this soap at all, and obviously it's not to everybody's taste, however when ordering off Lush's website you could always request a sample of this soap.
It is very creamy in formulation therefore lathers quite easily. I find that to get the most out of it you're best off using a loofah as it really helps to lather it. The scent really stands out when applying to skin and overall it was a nice soap to use. The smell does last for a few hours after you've had your bath or shower and I'm pleased with this.
Unfortunately, I didn't find it as moisturising as some of the other Lush soaps, but I will repurchase this in the future simply because I like the scent of it and it is a decent product. Three stars is a fair rating as it is a pretty boring soap for the price you are paying, but the scent does stand out.
Note: This is a vegan friendly product.
Lush 17 Cherry Tree Lane Soap
Description: Brand: Lush / Type: Body Soap / The inspiration for this creamy soap blew in from the East. Noriko used a traditional Japanese design of stylised cherry trees to decorate the top of each block.
Lush are one of my favourite places to shop because they create hand made cosmetic products from only natural ingredients. Not only do they never test on animals themselves but they also won't buy from suppliers who do.
Lush are not the cheapest place to shop but their products are so great that they feel like a treat and in my opinion, are well worth spending a little extra on (even better if you get them as a gift!)
They also carry out a lot of charity work and campaigns, both in this country and across the world. You can find more details of this on their website as well as product information (including ingredients), their Retro range and also locate your nearest store.
The Retro range is a selection of products which are no longer sold in stores. However, because customer still want to but them, they are available online instead, which is excellent as it allows you to purchase your old favourites.
100g of this soap will cost you £3 and is suitable for vegans. It is plain and white and doesn't look particularly special compared to some of the Lush soaps but does have a great fragrance that it quite delicious.
Although this fragrance is a lot like cherries, it also smells of orange oil which I love. It is extremely fruity and the scent clings to your skin after washing. The soap is quite soft and though it doesn't create a lot of lather, does feel like it is moisturising you all over as you use it.
There is also a slight hint of jasmine in the soap, which is very subtle, but definitely noticeable, which adds a slightly exotic and eastern scent which you are sure to enjoy if you like sweet and feminine fragrances.
This soap is my little sisters favourite, and one that she always has in the bathroom. I do have others in the Lush range that I prefer, which tends to mean that I forget about this one until I am in her house and then think "Oh, I forgot how good this was" so I have taken advantage of the special offers on the Lush website right now (buy products and get free treats!) and just ordered some - can't wait for the box to arrive now!
This is a lovely soap which cleans and leaves you feeling moisturised and uplifted by the sweet fragrance, why not give it a try and treat yourself now!
Ingredients are as follows (taken from the Lush website );
Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Rapeseed Oil; Sunflower Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus; Helianthus annuus; Cocos nucifera), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Hydroxide, Perfume, Titanium Dioxide, Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Mimosa Absolute (Acacia decurrens), Orange Blossom Absolute (Citrus Aurantium dulcis), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale), Sodium Chloride, *Citral, *Limonene}
*Occurs naturally in essential oils
A while ago I tried some products from the L'Occitane cherry blossom range and fell in love with the scent. As L'Occitane products are quite expensive however, I've been trying cherry blossom scented products from other brands to try and find something that matches up scent-wise, but not price-wise!
Lush make a cherry blossom scented soap called '17 Cherry Tree Lane' - the address from Mary Poppins apparently! - and being a lover of Lush and of cherry blossom, I knew I had to try it!
It's probably worth noting that this product is from Lush's Retro range, a range of products that are no longer available to purchase in Lush stores, however can still be purchased online at www.lush.co.uk
This soap is fairly plain and boring to look at being simply white, however as you can probably see from the picture, when first produced, this soap had a red and black cherry design on the top, so you may be lucky enough to receive a slice with these colours in it.
For people who are already familiar with Lush products, I would say that this soap smells exactly the same as their Sakura ballistic. If you're not familiar with Lush then this soap does have a cherry blossom scent, but it is very very floral - a lot more so than the L'Occitane or Body Shop cherry blossom ranges.
It's quite a sweet and gentle and also slightly powdery floral, and I do sometimes think it smells a bit old-fashioned, and unfortunately I do mean that in a 'my grandma would love it' kind of way. Saying that at other times, I just think it smells incredibly retro and even though I wasn't around in the 1950's, it's a scent that makes me think of that time, if that makes any sense!!
I think one of the best things about this soap is that it is incredibly creamy. It lathers well and the lather feels thick and luxurious against the skin.
After rinsing my skin is left feeling soft and supple and there's none of the tightness you can often feel after washing with soap. I have quite dry skin and this doesn't dry it further, nor does it irritate my eczema.
The subtle fragrance of cherry blossom is left on my skin after using this too, which is another plus point.
A 100g bar of this soap costs £2.95 from www.lush.co.uk. As mentioned above, you cannot buy this particular soap in Lush stores.
Overall, I thought this was a lovely soap. The scent didn't quite live up to the L'Occitane range, but it was still nice, and it lathered well and left my skin feeling lovely. If you're looking for a very floral, creamy soap, I would recommend this one, it's fantastic!
not exactly an exciting beauty product to buy is it? I mean it comes in liquid form or solid form, they all smell similar and do one job
boring really or so I thought. Yep you guessed it Lush have brightened my day once again and turned my bathroom into a sweet smelling cherry haven.
Having got bored of using the same old soaps I decided it was time to try something else and upon a visit to the nearest Lush shop I decided it was time to try something I hadnt used before and in this instance I was enticed by a soap called 17 Cherry Tree Lane. Not an exciting name by all means, but for anyone who is a fan of Mary Poppins then you will know that this is the address she breezes into to become a Nanny for Jane and Michael Banks.
Now Lush promise that their soaps but not only make you look clean but that they will make you smell clean and that the smell of fruit and flowers will linger and scent your body for a long time after use. Another benefit of Lush soaps is that they all contain many essential oils that are used to moisturise, hydrate and rejuvenate your skin. Lush also state that their soaps are Vegetarian and Vegan meaning that they dont use anything animal related and they do not test them on animals.
I opted for the 17 Cherry Tree Lane Soap, which whilst it is a bright white chunk of soap it does contains a cherry and sometimes some golden coloured glitter and it smells of many different aromas due to the ingredients it contains but ultimately the cherry smell is quite evident as is the other citrus smells of orange and lemon.
Lush 17 Cherry Tree Lane is available in two different sizes and for the 200g bar you would expect to be paying around £4.35 and for a slightly smaller bar which is 100g it currently costs £2.35. So I opted for the100g of soap. Most Lush soaps range in size and shape meaning the bigger they are the more they will usually cost.
So what is contained within 17 Cherry Tree Lane to make it smell so delightful when using? Firstly we have Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum) which has a mass of properties when used for example it is very beneficial to the circulatory system and aids with blood flow, It boosts the immune system and cleanses the body and cleaning greasy skin and hair, as well as removing dead skin cells. Closely following we have Mimosa Absolute which is described as being relaxing and particularly good for sensitive and general skin care. Orange Blossom Absolute which appears in quite a lot of Lush products and it is used again to soothe sensitive skin whilst helping to restore a balance to dry or oily skin and boasts the wonderful orangey smell which emanates from the soap when using and finally we have Jasmine Absolute and it is known to help soothe dry skin and is one of the worlds most expensive ingredients. Now with most Lush products there is usually one ingredient which stands out from the rest and for me this time it is Cocoa Powder (Theobroma cacao). Apparently Theobroma Cacao is used in massage bars and soaps to act as a moisturising agent on the skin.
As always with Lush there is a whole list of further ingredients, which can be found on the Lush Website and if you do have sensitive skin and allergies it is always worth checking the content of any product.
Arriving home with my 100g of Cherry Soap the first thing I want to do is try it out. So after letting the tap in the bathroom run for a few seconds to warm up, the soap is out of its packaging and the first thing you will notice is that wonderful cherry and orange aroma which instantly hits you.
17 Cherry Tree Lane also produces a rich creamy lather within seconds of rubbing it between your hands and the lather. Now this soap also contains some brown sugar which I should have mentioned before and it is used as an antibacterial agent and if you look closely enough you can see the little granules glistening in the light alongside some of the golden glitter which I thought was the brown sugar. Now, even though this soap does create a luxurious lather it does wash off your skin very easily leaving a gorgeous smell of cherry and it is also non greasy so your hands and face dont feel like an oil zone. As mentioned I did use this soap on my face and my skin felt much smoother than it did before I used the soap, the problem with living in London is the amount of pollution and other kinds of dirt that attacks your skin often leaving it looking dirty and dry, so I would usually wash my face with water and then use a cleaner, toner and moisturiser to clean my skin, but this soap does a brilliant job and it didnt dry my skin out like most soaps do as I feared it would. I should also mention that you should avoid getting it in your eyes as it will sting! If you do decide to use it on your face, as with the rest of your body dont rub your skin dry, blot it dry using a soft, clean towel.
Now one of the main reasons I bought this soap was because it looks stunning in my bathroom but because it smells so lovely and I have to say the smell did linger for a good few hours after using and my skin felt much smoother.
I have now been using this soap for just over a month or so now and although I do not use it everyday, I still have over two thirds of the bar left to use, so for me it is also good value for money.
I personally love this product, it smells divine and it isnt as expensive as some of the soaps that I have bought and tried. My skin feels softer and fresher after using it and this product does not aggravate my skin like a lot of other perfumed soaps would do, so I would highly recommend this for people with oily/dry skin problems but also for those who like fresh natural ingredients in their products.

The inspiration for this creamy soap blew in from the East / Noriko used a traditional Japanese design of stylised cherry trees to decorate the top of each block; buy a slice and your piece may feature a cherry, a sprinkle of golden glitter or a cocoa coloured tree branch / Weãve named it, appropriately, after the place where Mary Poppins turned up when she blew in on the east wind to take care of Jane and Michael Banks / To continue the theme, 17 Cherry Tree Lane is scented with our floral Sakura fragrance: mimosa, orange and jasmine blossom perfume your body when the soft lather touches it / (Noriko even put a spoonful of sugar into the mixture / )

Travel news from around the world.
In the air
WestJet was named North America's best pet-friendly airline for budget-conscious consumers in the latest annual review by Petfinder.com. The website noted that the Canadian carrier allows small dogs, cats, rabbits and birds to travel for $50 each way in the passenger cabin. Frontier Airlines won for transporting the greatest variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and small household birds. Most pet-friendly over all was Pet Airways, a pet-only airline serving nine U.S. airports. It promises "first-class treatment" of animal passengers, including large breeds of canines.
On the ground
A British Columbia travel company hopes to reopen Afghanistan to tourists with group departures planned for October and April. Sightseeing will be limited to Kabul and two other regions that are considered "relatively safe," says Mahmood Poonja, chief explorer with Bestway Tours and Safaris. Tour destinations include Band-e-Amir lakes and Mazar-e-Sharif. Poonja says interest in the destination is coming from people 45 and older who are highly educated and often travel solo. For more information go to bestway.com.
In the works
It won't open until 2016, but Magic World Russia is already being touted as one of the world's more compelling resort destinations. Plans for the 250-hectare site, to be located 50 kilometres from Moscow, call for multiple theme parks, water parks, beach hotels, shops and live entertainment. One theme park, called World Without Boundaries, is intended for special-needs children. The project is a collaboration between Russia and a consortium of California companies.

Marvel Studios-Netflix Casts DAREDEVIL's THE KINGPIN
Marvel Studios has cast Vincent D'Onofrio, he of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Men in Black fame as Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin, in the 2015 13-episode Netflix Daredevil series.
D'Onofrio joins Charlie Cox, previously announced in the series' lead role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
According to Marvel, Fisk is "a powerful businessman whose interests in the future of Hell's Kitchen will bring him into conflict with the blind attorney Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil."
"We're incredibly proud to have an actor with the gravitas and versatility of Vincent joining 'Marvel's Daredevil'in such an integral role," said Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television in an announcement "Wilson Fisk is an iconic villain whose cunning and power make him the dangerous equal of our hero."

The rising use of credit and debit cards boosts economic activity and creates jobs, but can also exacerbate downturns when consumer credit levels are too high, according to a study by Moody's Analytics.
The study, commissioned by Visa Inc., found that alternatives to cash and cheques added a total of $296-billion (U.S.) to the global economy between 2011 and 2015, and generated an average of 2.6 million new jobs a year – 17,000 of them in Canada.
"The availability of electronic payment systems leads to a virtuous economic cycle whereby increased consumption leads to increased production, more jobs, greater income, and, ultimately, stronger economic growth," Moody's said.
Specifically, electronic payments gives consumers access to funds whenever they need them and opens the door to online shopping. For merchants, cards lower labour costs, particularly at self-service checkouts, and attracts consumers who might not have sufficient cash on hand. And for central banks, lower demand for physical cash improves the efficiency of commerce.
The study lands amid tremendous change in the way consumers pay, particularly in Canada. Cash usage is declining and alternatives – such as payment apps that allow consumers to pay for inexpensive items with their smartphones – are gaining traction.
Moody's concluded that card usage among the 70 countries it examined added 0.1 percentage points to global domestic product over the five-year period and accounted for 0.4 points of the growth in consumption.
Countries with the biggest increase in card usage, such as Hungary, Chile and Australia, saw the biggest contributions to GDP growth. Canada was in line with the average.
"The increase in card usage is a good proxy for a reduction in transaction costs," said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics. "Lower transaction costs facilitate more spending and ultimately a bigger economy."
However, the study found that Finland and Greece saw card usage decline with their economic performance, exacerbating the weakness in consumption in the two countries.
This raises the question of whether credit cards – and rising consumer debt – can drag on economic activity during downturns.
Canada's household debt has been hitting a succession of record highs, rising to 163.7 per cent of disposable income in the third quarter of 2015 and prompting warnings from the Bank of Canada.
On Tuesday, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada highlighted what it called "worrisome" growth in long-term car loans. It noted that Canada's auto finance market has nearly doubled over the past eight years, with consumers assuming longer-term loans that now average more than 72 months for new cars, up from an average of 65 months in 2010.
"You can have excessive credit growth, and ultimately that will do-in an economy," Mr. Zandi said, pointing to Greece and the U.S. housing bubble prior to the Great Recession.
"It's important that card usage is consistent with the growth in the economy, incomes and profits. That is an issue that needs to be watched carefully," he said.
However, he made a distinction between credit card debt that requires monthly interest payments on outstanding balances and debt that is paid in full each month and merely reflects a greater volume of transactions.
Brian Weiner, head of product and innovation at Visa Canada, added that it is also important to keep in mind that credit-card-related debt in Canada accounts for a relatively small share of total household debt.
"Here in Canada, most of the debt is typically related to residential mortgages," he said.

Hiiiiiii earthquakes are really bad but its good that countries like Japan can have horrific earthquakes and still get back on track! AMAZING!!!
I think it's amazing how all countries that have earthquakes pull through. However, I think it's really sad that they loose so many lives. RIP earthquake victims. :(
Uhhh earthquakes!! It's so sad

I know how to do sprites (and know WP pretty well) but I have to add a sprite to the sidebar widget on a WP site and have no clue how to start except that I created the sprite :-). The styles mix me up even when I look via Inspect Element. Can anyone help? Not sure where to start. I Googled it as well but didn't find anything. Thanks so much.
The widget will be made up of elements with classes/IDs, so all you need to do is find the element you want to place the sprite on, find the nearest class or ID (on the element itself or on a parent element) and you are good to go with your CSS.
Thanks Ralph.

* Safe-haven bids support, Greece need debt restructuring-EU
* Little impetus felt from the physical markets
* Sharp losses in US equities, grains weigh
(New details throughout, updates comments, changes byline,
dateline, previously LONDON)
By Frank Tang
NEW YORK, July 24 (Reuters) - Gold traded nearly flat on
Tuesday, supported by safe-haven buying on news Greece will need
more debt restructuring, as the metal outperformed equities for
a second consecutive day.
After seesawing earlier in the session, bullion erased
losses as EU officials said Greece is unlikely to be able to pay
what it owes and further debt restructuring is likely to be
Gold's gains are limited by a falling euro as Europe's
private sector looked set for a prolonged slump, after surveys
showed the downturn that began in the euro zone's small
economies has since become entrenched in Germany and France.
"Gold is mostly taking its cues from the euro-dollar. Volume
is pretty decent, suggesting there are good underlying bids
here," said Jonathan Jossen, an independent COMEX gold options
floor trader.
A more than 1 percent drop in the S&P and easing
grain prices after the previous session's record rally also
Spot gold was up 0.1 percent at $1,578.06 an ounce by
1:14 p.m. EDT (1714 GMT), moving in a relatively quiet range of
less than $20.
U.S. COMEX August gold futures for August delivery
were essentially flat at $1,577.40, with trading volume in line
with its 30-day average, preliminary Reuters data showed.
Little support came from the physical market, with off-take
still soft in number one gold consumer India, where demand has
been hurt by high prices as a result of near-record low in the
rupee. Volumes also remained low on China's Shanghai Gold
Among other metals, silver edged down 0.4 percent to
$26.88 an ounce, while spot platinum was down 0.7
percent at $1,383.24 an ounce and spot palladium dropped
1.4 percent to $558.49 an ounce.

Volunteers getting trained for the London Summer Olympics are now prepared to handle complaints of same-sex PDAs.
Part of the training for volunteers is a diversity quiz. One question involves a hypothetical situation where two men are holding hands and a neighboring person asks the volunteer to tell them to stop.
"What do you do?," the quiz asks.
"a) You tell the person to stop being a homophobic idiot and walk away.
b) You want everybody to feel comfortable and welcome at the Games, so you politely ask the couple to stop holding hands.
c) You explain that there is a huge diversity of people at the London 2012 Games, which includes gay, lesbian and bisexual couples."
The correct answer, thankfully, is c). Read more here.

IT WILL be very interesting to see how attack-minded a side Ronny Deila goes with in Iceland on Tuesday.
The goalscoring form of Teemu Pukki during the pre-season games has impressed the new manager.
Anthony Stokes also got off the mark early, and Leigh Griffiths has looked eager to impress, even though he has not started up front in any of the three games to date.
Having this kind of competition for places, especially in key areas, is what any manager wants to see.
Teemu appears to have benefited most from having a full pre-season with the club, having arrived late last summer.
He will be on a real high as confidence is what he lacked most during a disappointing first season at the club.
But, Anthony has been over the course in European qualifiers before, and this experience could give him an advantage for the games against KR Reykjavik.
Leigh has been played in a few positions during the warm-up games. And, though he would prefer to be up there in the box, I don't think he is the type to sulk or throw a strop.
He will already have figured out that such a reaction would not go down well with Ronny, who puts so much store by attitude and body language.
Leigh could be an important figure in the qualifying ties.
When he was signed, a lot of people questioned whether he had the class to score goals in the Champions League.
Well, in my book, the more important question is, does he have the class to score the goals that will get the club INTO the Champions League?
Based on his strike rate wherever he has played throughout his career, I believe the answer to that is yes.

It's been a long, rough, bumpy ride for Sony's Xperia Z2 to reach store shelves, but at last, the Android-running Full HD 5.2-inch powerhouse smartphone seems to have overcome component shortages.
Stateside, there's still no telling when or if the Xperia Z2 will ever be available for sale, but just because a part of the world is neglected by Sony, you don't need to be bitter and rain on the European parade. So let's get together and wish folks on the old continent good luck in securing an unlocked, SIM-free water-protected handheld before inventory fades away.
Make no mistake, it will happen sooner or later, so better be safe than sorry and order now. At the time of this writing, most European branches of Sony's rich online mobile store network promise swift Z2 delivery, for prices ranging from around $920 to a whopping $1,000.
Namely, €679 ($940) in Germany, €699 ($970) in France, Spain and Italy, and £599 ($1,010) on British shores. Also, PLN 2,799 ($925) in Poland, and SEK 5,995 ($920) in Sweden. Too extravagant for your taste (and bank account)?
I'm afraid the only alternative is patience. A boatload of it.

How people define their own experiences and the labels they assign them (or don't), are very important—and we're not interested in imposing labels. Instead, we're offering a framework for thinking about past sexual experiences that may have caused or contributed to current problems.
Defining an Experience
"Unwanted or abusive sexual experiences" is how we refer to past sexual experiences that can cause a variety of problems, long after they happened.
Our words are carefully chosen, because we strive to:
- Respect every man's experience and point of view.
- Avoid any definitions or labels that could drive away any man who could use this site to sort through his own unique experiences and options.
We also want to emphasize what "unwanted or abusive sexual experiences" does not mean…
By "unwanted" we do not mean that the experience had to be unwanted when it happened. For example, a boy may feel that he wants sexual contact with an adult (especially if the adult has manipulated him). Instead, when we say "unwanted," we mean:
- Looking back now, is that an experience you want to have happened, to be part of your life?
- Do you want to be having negative thoughts and feelings and behaviors that, looking back now, you suspect or believe are (at least partly) caused by that experience?
The "or" in "unwanted or abusive" does not imply that any unwanted sexual experience was also "abusive." We don't believe this is true. We're just hoping that "unwanted" works well enough when it comes to describing past sexual experiences that may have contributed to problems you have now. (Or at least isn't bad enough to drive you away.)
Sorting It Out For Yourself
For some of you, that's why you're here right now. You're trying to sort out, on your own terms:
- "What was that past sexual experience really about?"
- "What effects has that experience had on me?"
- "Is that a reason why I'm struggling with _________?"
The question, "What was that sexual experience really about?" may be the most basic, and could take a while to sort out. It implies other questions, like:
- Was the other person in a position of power or authority over me?
- Was I manipulated into doing sexual things, or into believing I wanted to, even when I really didn't?
- Did sexual activity change what had been a positive relationship into one that involved secrecy and shame?
- Was the other person using me and not really considering my experience or my needs?
- Did the other person take advantage of vulnerabilities I had at the time – feeling isolated and lonely, feeling excited and curious but ignorant about sex?
These questions speak to possible exploitation, betrayal, and disregard for your well-being – experiences that can cause a variety of problems, right away and moving forward.
Also, if you were a child, these questions apply to experiences with other children or teenagers, not just adults. No matter how old the other person was, if dominance, manipulation, exploitation, betrayal or disregard for your well-being were involved, the experiences(s) may have contributed to problems in your life now.
Important: The idea here is not to push anyone to condemn or even to label the other person or people involved, who may also have been good to you, and who you may still like, even love. Also, such experiences may have involved attention, affection and physical sensations that, at the time, you found pleasurable and in some way wanted (e.g., in a confused way mixed up with shame).
The point of trying to "sort things out," if you choose to do so, is to understand whether – and if so, why and how – the sexual experience(s) may have helped to cause some problems you have now (like problems with shame, anger, addiction, or depression).
To sum up, we're providing resources for sorting out what makes sense to you, and for sorting out the options for dealing with your unique experiences and moving closer to the life you want.

Scientist and author Temple Grandin has a new book out, "The Autistic Brain." In it, Grandin shares her experiences as a woman with autism, but also blends in the latest research into the brains of people on the autistic spectrum and the possible treatments on the horizon.
She and Kerri Miller talked at the Fitzgerald Theater about how autism benefits society, why early intervention is important, and how brain imaging has changed the way she thinks about her condition.
• The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum "[Grandin and her co-author Richard Panek] urge parents, teachers, and society to focus on the strengths of autistics, and they devise a 'three-ways-of-thinking model' &mdash by pictures, patterns, or words/facts — to foster change in schools and the workplace. Grandin's particular skill is her remarkable ability to make sense of autistics' experiences, enabling readers to see 'the world through an autistic person's jumble of neuron misfires,' and she offers hope that one day, autism will be considered not according to some diagnostic manual, but to the individual."

The Most Important Political Project in America
Are you a member of Working America? According to an article by author and political analyst Andrew Levison, you are part of the most important political project in America.
Levison writes in the journal The Democratic Strategist that in the age of unlimited corporate spending on elections, it is crucial that pro-worker and progressive organizations built grassroots, face-to-face operations for educating voters, raising awareness of issues, and building community over the long-term. "As a result," he writes, "the most important political initiative in America this year will not be any quickly thrown-together GOTV effort or additional political canvassing funded by liberal donors; it will be the organizing campaign that most faithfully and successfully builds on the traditional, grass-roots trade union model."
He continues: "The organization that is most clearly following this approach is Working America—the community affiliate of the AFL-CIO. As a result, it is, in the long-run, the most potentially game-changing progressive project in America."
It's true: we can't keep up with the unlimited corporate spending on elections. We have about five months left to go until Election Day, and the Super PACs and independent groups have already flooded the airwaves with misinformation. Working America's meticulous, relentless, tested form of door-to-door organizing is the only method that can inoculate voters from the advertising onslaught.
And that door-to-door canvassing is effective because we do it to scale. As Levison points out, we have 10,000 to 20,000 face-to-face conversations per week in twelve cities (soon to be fourteen with the addition of Falls Church, Virginia and St. Louis, Missouri). In 2011, 500,000 Working America members took part in some direct activity, ranging from writing or calling your congressman, submitting a letter to the editor, attending a rally or joining other members at a Community Action Team meeting.
The momentum has affected not just the people we talk to, but our own organizers as well. "The unanticipated outcome that's gotten us so excited is what organizing does not just for the people we sign up but for the people who sign them up," one of our organizers told Levison, "The people in [Working America] get so juiced up by their experiences that it gives us legitimate hope that there are many more people out there who are basically like us, and that the potential for solidarity is far greater than we thought."
Levison concludes:
In the age of unlimited political contributions by corporations and the wealthy there is simply no alternative. If the appalling social recidivism of the policies and philosophies of this new gilded age are ever to be defeated, they will be defeated by the methods that Working America is pioneering today.

As the most powerful men on earth gather in New York for a meeting of the UN, Detective Michael Bennett receives intelligence warning that there will be an assassination attempt on the US president. Even more shocking, the intelligence suggests that the Russian government could be behind the plot.
Tensions between America and Russia are the highest they've been since the Cold War, but this would be an escalation no one could have expected.
The details are shadowy, and Bennett finds false leads and unreliable sources at every turn. But he can't afford to get this wrong. If the plotters succeed, the shock waves will be felt across the globe.

The story was good but was let down by the narrator whose voice was monotonous and accents abominable
"Narration l"
Book would have been a lot better if it was narrated by someone else to much he said I said
"Book Good but"
This book is good but I can only listen to the Narrator for a short while. This means it is taking longer to finish to book than normal.
A great gripping story with musical effects a first and works well. I enjoyed the book
"I love the Michael Bennett series but...."
Disappointed with Bullseye. Not as good as the previous books. It was the narrator that spoilt it for me. Too many 'she said, he said, I said'....
"a enjoyable read"
another well writen book ny james patterson griping story one to hear over again :)
"Another JP Classic"
Loved it......the story and the delivery....
Really love JP and as much as Alex Cross is the number one and (to me!) Jack Morgan is a second I love Michael Bennett, his family and his situation along side being a fab NYC cop.
I love the 'family' stuff, when he is conflicted and in this there is an issue with one of the kids and his mate.....makes it more 'real'
Just loved it....
Big JP fan and pretty much love ALL of his books!

With the fifth season of Downton Abbey due on screens later this year, the show's creator, Julian Fellowes, has said that the period drama is "not going to go on forever".
Fellowes has been commissioned to write a new US drama called The Gilded Age but told The Wall Street Journal that he would only begin work on it when Downton Abbey had come to an end.
He said of The Gilded Age: "I haven't written it yet, but it's about the old aristocracy, the Winthrops and the Stuyvesants and the new money of oil and gas and shipping in the 1870s. It will all be fiction - it won't be real people - but when those families descended on New York, they took over."
As to Downton Abbey's future, he said: "I don't know yet if there is a season six, but it's not going to go on forever. It won't be [US legal thriller series] Perry Mason."

MONTREAL -- As he walked into the Bell Centre yesterday morning, a fellow had a batch of white, wooden hockey sticks wrapped in plastic hefted up on his shoulder.
"New batch of sticks for Jason Spezza, eh?" observed a couple of visitors from Ottawa, who held the door open for the man.
Spezza, one of the last players in the NHL to use wooden sticks, had his twig working for him last night, as the Senators centre scored his 29th and 30th goals of the season in the Senators' 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
"We knew it was a playoff-type game," said Spezza, who scored both goals with a stick out of the new batch and now has 14 points against the Habs in six games this season. "We're re-teaching ourselves to win games. It's good to know we can play with the lead."
The Senators, who continued to show steady improvement -- crisper puck movement, much better special teams and improved goaltending from Martin Gerber -- with Bryan Murray back behind the bench, moved back into top spot in the Northeast Division. They are tied with the Canadiens with 87 points, but have one more win (40, the fifth straight year they've had at least that many) with both teams having 72 games in the book. The Pittsburgh Penguins also have 87 points, but have played one less game. New Jersey is in first with 88 points.
"There's more confidence now. We're playing right and focusing on not giving up much," said Murray. "Our positioning is real good now. We're supporting the puck on the breakout and that's all we've been harping on."
The shutout was the second of the season for Gerber, who stopped 24 shots, and the ninth of his career.
Bolstered by the return of captain Daniel Alfredsson, who had missed four games with a sore back, the win was the Senators' third straight, making them 4-3-1 since Murray relieved former coach John Paddock of his duties. It's the first time they've strung together three straight wins since they reeled off four Jan. 4-12. They also improved to 5-1 against the Canadiens this season and sucked all the energy out of the Bell Centre with a tight and tidy defensive performance.
Spezza scored both of his goals without really taking a shot -- in the strictest sense of the word. Both came on the power play, the first a tip in front at 8:21 of the first that snuck by rookie Carey Price and the second a controversial goal that saw him bat the puck twice out of the air and bunt it in by the left post 27 seconds into the second period. The goal was reviewed and it was close as to whether Spezza had touched the puck with his stick above the crossbar.
The deuce with the man advantage made it three games in a row the Senators have scored two power-play goals.
Ottawa's Antoine Vermette scored his 17th with just under two minutes to go in the second period.
Alfredsson tested his back in the morning skate yesterday and made a bit of a surprise return to the lineup. He looked like his old self, controlling the puck on the power play that resulted in Spezza's first goal. Alfredsson didn't return to the top line with Spezza and Dany Heatley, however, as Murray chose to leave Randy Robitaille on right wing with those two and play Alfredsson with Stillman and centre Mike Fisher.
The Ottawa penalty killers, backed by Gerber's solid netminding, controlled the top power-play unit in the NHL.
"We did what we wanted to do, stay out of the box," said Gerber. "The power plays they had, we were able to take their good guys away.
"(At even strength) we had the third and fourth guys coming back and pushing hard and forcing them to make quick decisions. That's a key against Montreal."
So now things are looking considerably brighter for the Senators since the back-to-back shutout losses to Toronto and Boston. They'll try to add to their win string when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon.

Why, when using
ZA formerly
were all my ports blocked and in stealth mode (according to Gibson's shields up)
and now with a new machine with either the xp it came with or other xp home, half my ports are stealth, half are just blocked
and 80 is wide open??
How the heck do I, or can I, close it and make all my ports stealthy without buying the premium ZA product which, every time I try it, it
makes gobbldy-**bleep** out of one thing or another?!
Operating System:Windows XP Home Edition
Product Name:ZoneAlarm Antivirus
