Greece's already-storied 1989-90 generation added another chapter to its legacy by defeating France 90-85 to capture the gold medal at the 2009 U20 European Championship.
Seven players including all five starters scored in double figures led by tournament MVP Kostas Papanikolaou's 15 points as the golden generation added Greece's first ever U20 gold to U18 gold in 2008 and silver from this month's U19 FIBA World Championship.
Spain nearly blew a 20-point lead before holding on to beat Italy 75-72 and capture the bronze medal at the U20 European Championship.
Pere Tomas scored 18 points while Pablo Aguilar had 14 points and Sergio De La Fuente added 13 points for Spain, who have still not won a U20 gold but captured their seventh overall medal and fourth bronze.
Lithuania erased an 18-point lead late in the third quarter to beat Turkey 77-72 and secure fifth place at the U20 European Championship.
Adas Juskevicius (16 points) and Sarunas Vasiliauskas (12 points) combined for 28 points in Lithuania's 37-13 run spanning the third and fourth quarters in helping the Baltic nation finish their tournament on a high note.

Friday night's Hebron Christian Eagles (2-7; 0-2) and Calhoun Academy Cougars 1-9; 0-2) game was a wild one. It was an offensive shootout that finally ended with a 38-30 homecoming win for the Eagles.
For the first time in 2010, the Eagles dropped down to eight-man football, taking on a Cougar team that has played with those numbers all year.
"It was a typical eight-man game, where it's stop me, and I'll try to stop you," said Hebron head coach Greg Watkins. "That's the kind of a game it was."
The two teams exchanged scores the entire game, and with 9:18 left in the fourth quarter, the Eagles and the Cougars exchanged blows on the field that resulted in three ejections.
Long before that delay, the opening kick off of the game set the tone for the evening, as Calhoun flicked an onside kick down the sideline, recovered that ball past 10 yards and ran it all the way in for a touchdown. Hunter Harmon tacked on two points with a run to make it 8-0, with just five seconds taken off the clock, which starts at 10 minutes in eight man.
The Eagles soon began to mount an attack of their own , but a seven-play drive came to nothing as Marques Robinson was only able to get seven yards on a fourth an 16.
The Cougars then had an eight-play drive that ended in a turnover on downs. That's when Hebron went to work.
Senior running back Jae Shaw and sophomore Will Corbin Rogers led the charge, nickel and diming their way down the field from their own 27 yard line.
The first quarter ended in the middle of that drive, so the Eagles had to wait until there was 7:49 left in the half to score their first touchdown. It was a 24 yard run to the end zone by Shaw that capped the drive and would eventually tie the game, after Shaw completed the two-point conversion.
It only took 17 seconds for the Cougars to respond, as Dylan Haimes connected with Danny Joe Norman for a 65 yard touchdown pass that would make it a 16-8 Cougar lead.
The Eagles started their next drive from their own 41. The good field position paid off as they drove eight plays that culminated in a four-yard touchdown run by Taylor Coggins, with 2:34 left in the half. The two-point try was missed, so the Cougars retained a 16-14 lead.
The biggest play of the half came three plays into the Cougars' next drive. Haimes went to the air, and Rogers read the throw perfectly, picking the pass off at his own 20, taking it five yards to the 25.
Shaw took the first handoff from quarterback Chad Smith 58 yards to the 17 yard line of the Cougars.
Rogers followed with an eight yard gain, and Coggins added four. Eventually, Shaw would complete the drive with a five-yard touchdown run to make it 20-16, with 13 seconds remaining in the half.
The second half started much like the first. Instead of Calhoun kicking it and recovering it, they just received Cody Tatum's kick and took it all the way back to pay dirt for a 22-20 lead after the two-point conversion.
Once again, the Eagles were playing catch up, but they were still energized from the final drive of the first half.
On their next possession, the Eagles led by Shaw and Rogers made four consecutive first down runs. On a second and 10, Rogers took the ball to the two yard line on a 13 yard run to set up first and goal.
Shaw then leaped into the end zone for a two-yard touchdown, making it 26-22.
With 6:49 left on the clock, the Cougars went to work, but their next drive came to nothing, as a dropped pass by Kyle Carter on fourth down ended the push.
Much like the end of the first, the Eagles would get the ball back and would take the drive into the early part of the fourth quarter. It was with 9:26 left in the game that Coggins crossed the goal line again to make it a 32-22 lead for the Eagles.
With almost 10 minutes left, no lead was safe. The Eagles were trying hard to preserve a 10-point lead, something they were unable to do last week against Immanuel. The Cougars were attempting to battle their way back into the game.
On the kickoff back to the Cougars, things got out of hand when the fray started at the end of the play.
"Emotions were high," Watkins said. "They had taken the lead, and then we took the lead. I don't know what all started it."
Two Cougars were ejected, and one Eagles was thrown out of the game.
Before play resumed, however, the two teams met in a huddle in the middle of the field, and cooler heads prevailed.
After that, the Eagle defense was ignited. Besides one good run on this drive, the Eagles dominated. They ended the threat with a forced fumble and recovery, the second big turnover of the day for Hebron.
"Kevin Simmons, our senior linebacker, came up and had missed him on the play before," Watkins said. "He came up and made big hit, knocking the ball loose."
Tatum then picked the ball up for the Eagle take away.
The Eagles needed to pad the lead, and pad the lead they did. Rogers and Coggins took the Eagles down field, and Coggins went into the end zone for a 28 yard touchdown run to make it 38-22.
This was still only a two touchdown lead, and there was 3:40 left on the clock. That was plenty of time for the Cougar offense to score twice.
They got halfway there with 1:52 left in the game, as Haimes to the ball in from three yards to make it 38-30 after a two-point conversion.
The Eagles would not score again, but they were able to tick down the clock to zero, as Smith led the team in the victory formation, taking a knee for the Eagles' second win of the season.
"Our guys played all four quarters real hard," Watkins said. "We made some plays when we had to make plays. They really never did stop us on offense. I'm real proud of the effort."
Shaw finished the game with 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns.
"He hit the holes running hard," Watkins said. "Jae is a lot faster than he looks. He got a step on a couple of them and cut loose."
Coggins had two touchdowns to go with his 106 yards on the ground.
"Taylor Coggins came in, and he was kind of fresh because we haven't been running him," Watkins said. "He broke two nice ones."
Hebron had 431 offensive yards in the game. Defensively, the Eagles gave up a lot of points, but they did come up with two big take aways that were the difference in the game.
"The defense, except for that last touchdown they scored, played well all night," Watkins said.
Next week, the Eagles will host Winona, a district rival, to end the season. The Eagles were knocked out of the playoff hunt last week by the Rams, but they will be trying for their first conference win against the district champions.
"That will be our senior night," Watkins said. "Our guys are going to come out here and play hard."

Men's Soccer drops tough road match to Limestone
September 25, 2013
GAFFNEY, SC The Pfeiffer University mens soccer team (2-4-1, 0-2 Conference Carolinas) dropped a 3-0 decision on the road against Limestone (4-1, 1-0) on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon at Saints Field. Jorge Mackenna had a goal and an assist in the win and Benjamin Morande netted his seventh score of the season.
In the 11th minute, Mackenna took a cross from Calvin Bond and headed it in from the left wing for the Saints first score of the afternoon. The rest of the half was scoreless with Limestone holding a 14-8 advantage in shots.
Morande added his score just over eight minutes into the second half. Sam Orritt sent a cross behind the defense to Morande, who beat Pfeiffers freshman keeper Nicolas Dulac. Jack Bailey added the Saints third goal in the 78th minute to secure the win.
The Falcons had a couple chances to cut into the deficit but were a bit unlucky.
Our kids played very hard, said Coach Bob Reasso. Limestone is a very good team. We had some chances to close the gap, but we hit the post twice. We played six of our last seven on the road, which is tough, but now we get a chance to play some games at home.
Limestone held a 22-13 lead in shots and had a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks.
Kyle Karagitz made two saves in the shutout and Dulac finished with five stops.
The Falcons return to action on Sept. 28 when they host Belmont Abbey on Homecoming weekend at Pfeiffer. The match is slated for a 4 p.m. kickoff. After the long road swing to start the season, Pfeiffer will play six of its next eight contests at NE Lefko Field.

VoIP University? Do you need a certification to run your phone system?
When we speak to our clients, or prospective clients, we often learn of horror stories where their key staff are out of pocket for days on end learning what amounts to a whole new language. Due to the propriety nature of these solutions, they are forced to go to "VoIP University" to simply be able to manage their own system.
One client confessed – they still did not feel even a little bit fluent. Relying on the channel partner they paid a great price for not being able to self administer their own VoIP system. In fact – some confessed they are not even allowed permissions that would equate to "administrator" level. And for all these issues they paid a heft price – literally.
Viper VoIP decided long ago that the idea of hiding behind some proprietary language that requires expensive certifications to simply grasp, did not make long term economic sense to our clients. The future is simplicity, ease of operation and quick knowledge transfer. It is well known in the industry that certifications and re-certifications is an cash cow and a represents a massive revenue stream for the big OEMs.
Our award winning interface reduces training to a day or two on site. The web based intuitive administrative interface keeps your most valued IT employees focused on more important tasks. Saving you on certification fees, training and total cost of ownership.
Not only is this cost savings a huge win – there is the fact that you can adjust and adapt on a dime. We do not hog tie you to become re-certified every time we release a new version or add new features (which are free on Viper by the way). Go ahead – drag and drop and use drop-downs to manage the system and the users.
We believe the days of high priced certifications, re-certifications and perpetual training are a thing of the past. What do you think?

Pack!! Nice names you've mentioned but this is the quote I
liked the most:
Colangelo acknowledged significant opposition to the move.
"I think it's a hot button for a lot of people in the league," he told Sports Business Daily. "I've heard from a number of people who are very strongly opposed to a move, but our committee will weigh all the plusses and make the recommendation to the board."
The big dog himself....

Well, it's all been happening in the last few weeks!
As you know from the last post, we lost one of the four original chicks around 23 May. On Saturday 29 May it was a rainy day and so we limited the event to the Museum. Then, at about 12.20 a lady rushed into the Museum to say that some people outside near City Hall had found a chick on the pavement and were "kicking" it to make it fly off. James and I rushed outside to see what was going on and there was a chick on the road, surrounded by people. It obviously had jumped the nest a bit too early, as it couldn't fly yet.
So we contacted Adrian Williams, local falconer who we're consulting with, who came down to check it over. He said it was fine, just a bit underweight. James and Adrian took the chick back to City Hall roof where the chick was placed just under the clock tower. By the bank holiday Monday, the bird had made it back onto the tower, but not to the nest.
In the week or two after we have only ever seen two juvenile birds at one time, so it looks as if the third one did not get enough food from its parents and was out-competed by its siblings. Sad news.
However, the remaining two are now flying! They're coming up against their own challenges as the gulls try to mob them as they practice their flying skills, but it doesn't seem to be deterring them from making significant progress. They're beginning to look quite adept, so do come down and see us soon, as we'll be seeing some aerial acrobatics as the young birds get taught their hunting skills by the adults.

WILLIAMSON - "I'm a career lawman, not a career politician," Mingo County Sheriff James Smith said, speaking of his plans for the future.
"With that being said; let me add that experience, knowledge, dedication, commitment and the ability to lead is what it takes to be a successful sheriff," Smith said. "I am blessed to say I possess these traits and I pray I will be able to continue to use them to serve the residents of this county."
Smith, a 15-plus-year veteran police officer who moved up through the ranks, was narrowly defeated for the office of sheriff in 2012 by the late Eugene Crum, who was shot and killed last April. He was then selected from among several applicants by the Mingo County Commission to fill that vacant slot in September of last year. Since that time, Smith has hit the ground running and has worked diligently to bring unity back to an office that only a few months ago, was a divided force.
"Our office has experienced setbacks and complications in the past, but I am proud to say these men that I call my co-workers and my brothers have stepped up to the plate and are moving this department in the right direction, creating a well-balanced team that is motivated to perform their jobs to the best of their ability," the sheriff said.
"We were handed the opportunity to rebuild, restructure and reorganize the Mingo County Sheriff's Department, and that is exactly what we did. Without this type of a team behind you, a sheriff is only one man standing alone.
"We are righting the wrongs in Mingo County so we can place the right foot forward. No matter which side of politics you may choose to be on, or whether you voted for me or against me, I will always treat you the right way, and so will the officers in the department. That is a promise."
"I'm a working sheriff. The part of me that loves to serve the public and has done so for over 15 years has not - or will not change. There should always be more to this position then just sitting behind a desk. You should never ask or expect one of your officers to do something that you are not willing or able to do yourself," Smith said. "You take an oath to protect and serve, and that's what I've always done."
Since assuming the role of sheriff, Smith has dedicated tremendous time and effort to acquiring much-needed equipment and supplies for his officers that allow them to work more efficiently and in a safe, timely manner.
"We are bringing this department up to par with those in other counties across the state," Smith said. "These items were put on the back burner long enough. I listened to the men and took a hard look at what we needed the most, and I'm happy to say we've been able to acquire additions that are proving to be valuable assets."
Two police cruisers, brush guards, state-of-the-art hand-held radios, crime scene kits and two additional officers have been added to the sheriff's department over recent months, and applications for grants have been completed to purchase dash-cameras and radar detectors as well. The sheriff has also established a connection with a company that sells refurbished Army surplus supplies to law enforcement agencies at a discounted rate, which will result in substantial savings for the county. Drug testing of all sheriff's department personnel is also now required several times a year, with no one being exempt.
Smith is a lifelong resident of Mingo County and speaks of the problems those who call it home face on a daily basis, and has plans in place to help alleviate these issues from the local communities. Drug problems and the safety of children are at the top of his list.
A number of active drug investigations are currently ongoing, with arrests expected in the near future. An officer from the sheriff's office also serves on the U.S. 119 Task Force which, in itself, is extremely successful in the war against drugs.
Smith told the Daily News that he is well aware that in today's changing world, there will never be such a thing as a "crime-free" county, but added that he has implemented scheduling that allows for great coverage for all three shifts. One subject of pride for the sheriff is that officers not only patrol school grounds and the surrounding areas during the day, but also perform "walk-throughs" inside the buildings to look for any suspicious activity and to become better acquainted with the students.
"This is something that we've started doing at our elementary schools, and we have full-time coverage by a police officer at both of our high schools," Smith said. "I want these kids to know that police are there to help them and keep them safe. We're the good guys. They can come to us for any problem they may have and we will do our best to help solve it."
Community "town hall-type" meetings are also in Smith's plans, as he spoke of the importance of sitting down with individuals who wish to air their complaints or suggestions, mentioning how important it is to have a good relationship with the public.
"Words are nice, but it's a man's actions that people will remember," Smith said. "My office is here to serve the needs of the people, not vice-versa. It's about public service - not personal gain."
"Everyone in our office works as a team," the sheriff said. "From our administrative assistants, Rhoda and Linette, to Dave Stratton that works hard to serve paperwork everyday and keeps us caught up on that end, to C.J. Sammons who serves the public's needs when a love one passes away - to my Chief Field Deputy Joe Smith, who has done an awesome job and is hands-down, one of the best investigators I have ever worked with, to each and every one one of our deputies - we work together, not against one another. I would put this team up against any across this state and I'm confident we could hold our own."
"That, my friends - is the key to success."
Monday, Jan. 13, at 9 a.m., Sheriff Smith wants to invite all his family, friends and fellow residents to join him in the Mingo County Clerk's office at 9 a.m. Monday as he officially files for the 2014 election as a candidate for the office he now holds.
"This is an important day for me, our department and for the county," Smith said. "I ask for your continued trust and faith as we move our county forward and out from under the dark cloud that has been hovering overhead for far too long."

Anemia Drugs Up Cancer Death Risk
Feb. 26, 2008 -- Cancer patients die 10% more often -- and have a 57% higher risk of dangerous blood clots -- if they take the anemia drugs Procrit, Epogen, or Aranesp to fight the side effects of chemotherapy.
The findings come from a careful analysis of data from 13,611 cancer patients enrolled in 51 different placebo-controlled clinical trials of the anemia drugs. These drugs -- Procrit, Epogen, and the newer Aranesp -- are known as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents or ESAs because they stimulate the growth of red blood cells.
"In our report we show these drugs increase the risk of thromboembolism [blood clots] by 57%, a number that's been reported before," Northwestern University professor Charles Bennett, MD, tells WebMD. "What is new is the mortality findings. We don't know the risk for an individual cancer patient -- but the more concerning thing is there is a safety problem here."
Bennett and colleagues aren't the first researchers to suspect that cancer patients taking Procrit, Epogen, and Aranesp do worse than those not taking the drugs. But their paper shows that the risk is real.
Only last November, the FDA insisted that the makers of the drugs put stronger warnings on their labels. Since then, the manufacturers notified the FDA that breast and cervical cancers got worse in patients taking the drugs during clinical studies. The studies also found that patients taking the drugs had more life-threatening blood clots than those not taking anemia drugs.
The FDA's oncology-drug advisory panel will meet on March 12-13 to discuss these reports -- and the Bennett study. The panel will decide whether the FDA should put further restrictions on the use of the anemia drugs.
Anemia Drug Benefits Overrated, Risks Underrated?
Both cancer itself and cancer chemotherapy can cause anemia, a condition in which the blood has too few oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Cancer patients often require blood transfusions. But with the introduction of the first ESA in 1989, doctors were able to avoid blood transfusions by using what seemed to be a safe medication.
This could not have been a more timely development. In the early 1990s, there were grave concerns about the safety of the blood supply. And as far as anybody knew, the drugs were extremely safe. That's because Procrit, Epogen, and Aranesp are designed to stimulate a growth receptor found on blood stem cells, says study researcher Stephen Lai, MD, PhD, a head and neck surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.

Sequestration, budget cuts taking their toll on DoD financial managers
Thursday - 6/20/2013, 6:54am EDT
Unprecedented chaos in the federal budget, impending civilian furloughs and an increasing workload are all contributors to a sharp, sudden decline in the morale of the staff that manages and executes the Defense Department's budget, according to an annual workforce survey released Wednesday.
The study, prepared by the American Society of Military Comptrollers and Grant Thornton, found that out of more than 1,000 financial management professionals surveyed, senior government executives were most likely to report a decline in morale. Within that group, 86 percent of respondents said they enjoyed their jobs "a lot" in last year's survey. By this year, the figure had plummeted to 53 percent. Lower-level financial managers reported a similar, though smaller decline in morale: 20 percent reported high job satisfaction compared to 24 percent in 2012.
"I think this is a significant issue," said retired Vice Adm. Lou Crenshaw, a former Navy senior budget official who now leads Grant Thornton's aerospace and defense practice. "It's not something we've seen in our prior surveys."
The morale of the workforce was one of three challenges managers were most likely to cite in response to the survey. The others were general uncertainty over the budget and the outlook toward DoD meeting its legally-mandated deadlines to become audit-ready. Altogether, 65 percent of financial managers said 2013 was the most challenging year they'd seen in their careers so far.
Perpetual state of indecision
With respect to budget uncertainty, the survey reflects deep dissatisfaction with the inflexibility of the across-the-board budget cuts under sequestration, the fact that the government seems to be in a perpetual state of continuing resolutions rather than full-year appropriations, and the ongoing indecision in the political arena about whether sequestration is here to stay.
"The fiscal 2013 budget has plenty of challenges they have to deal with, and DoD is way behind schedule on the 2014 budget, which we already know is about $40 billion short because the effects of sequestration were not factored into the President's budget submission. And they're already struggling with the 2015 budget, so they're pretty busy over there," Crenshaw said. "Then you throw in the challenges of getting ready for audits, and then, guess what, bingo, we're going to furlough the very people who have to deal with all of this."
Among the most senior members of the financial management workforce, the survey also revealed deep pessimism about DoD's ability to meet its Congressional mandates to assemble its financial statements so that they can be scrutinized by independent auditors. The survey found 23 percent of senior executives admitted they have zero confidence that their respective organizations will be audit-ready by the 2014 deadline for DoD to undergo a partial audit. Only three percent said they were "highly confident" that their organization would be prepared.
Training shortfalls being felt
Underlying that pessimism is a cutback on resources available to train rank-and-file members of the workforce on what it takes to become audit-ready, and a slow bleed of the department's most experienced financial management experts.
"Executives respond that they are losing staff and they are unable to back-fill the positions. In addition to the lost knowledge base, this translates to more work for the remaining workforce, and the pressures will only multiply if planned furloughs occur," the authors wrote. "While the impact [of retirements] is felt at a moderate rate, concerns among executives are evident. This factor contributes to a potentially significant loss of institutional knowledge throughout all organizations. Knowledge transfer becomes more important as a result of this possibility, and has a direct relationship to the development of documentation to support audit readiness efforts."
The survey also uncovered dissatisfaction in the ranks with DoD's overall Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness plan. A majority of respondents said DoD's plan to get ready for audits was "a hindrance" to its stated goals, and complained that the department continues to move the goalposts in determining what it means to be "audit ready."
"They're confused about those changing goals," Crenshaw said. "But one of the interesting responses we get from the field is, Let's stop just preparing for audits. Let's just do one and see how it turns out. Let's get on with it.'"

1771 Bonne Map of the Auvergne, Limosin, Bourbonnais, and Berri, France
Description: A beautiful example of Rigobert Bonne's decorative map of the French regions of Berri, Nivernois, Marche, Bourbonnais, Limosin and Auvergne. A large decorative title cartouche appears in the lower right quadrant. Drawn by R. Bonne in 1771 for issue as plate no. I 5 in Jean Lattre's 1776 issue of the Atlas Moderne.
Date: 1771 (dated)
Source: Lattre, Jean, Atlas Moderne ou Collection de Cartes sur Toutes les Parties du Globe Terrestre, c. 1775.
References: Rumsey 2612.015. Phillips (Atlases) 664. National Maritime Museum, 215.
Cartographer: Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded Jacques Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Dep�t de la Marine. Working in his official capacity Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne's work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses. While mostly focusing on coastal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. Click here for a list of rare maps from Rigobert Bonne.
Cartographer: Jean Lattre (fl. 1743 - 1793) was a Paris based bookseller, engraver, and map publisher active in the mid to late 18th century. Lattre published a large corpus of maps, globes, and atlases in conjunction with a number of other important French cartographic figures, including Janvier, Zannoni, Bonne and Delamarche. He is also known to have worked with other European cartographers such as William Faden of London and the Italian cartographer Santini. Map piracy and copyright violations were common in 18th century France. Paris court records indicate that Lattre brought charges against several other period map publishers, including fellow Frenchman Desnos and the Italian map engraver Zannoni, both of whom he accused of copying his work. Lattre's offices and bookshop were located at 20 rue St. Jaques, Paris, France. Click here for a list of rare maps by Jean Lattre.

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche Discontinued Forever. Pulled From All Stores and Soon to be gone
Pulled from
Macys, Bloomingdales, Dillards, Nordstrom, Saks and Neiman Marcus, Sephora Confirmed to me they will not be getting anymore,
Chanel told me for now it is only available online and will be discontinued for good and replaced with Allure Sport Eau Extreme.
i only have a 1.7oz bottle left, what a shame.
Claus The Danish Viking
Wow! Glad I have a big bottle of Blanche.
The discontinuation seems very sudden - I certainly wasn't expecting it. Makes me wonder if the new Extreme is doing better than expected. I have to admit that I like it better than Blanche, though I think that one is good, too.
At the moment, I'm really addicted to Exteme. It just strikes me as a very comfortable variation on Allure Homme, and I enjoy the difference quite a bit.
A shame if true...a nice frag that I was considering for summer.

I dont think they even waited to see sales numbers, someone at bloomingdales showed me a type of fragrance catalog from Chanel and Allure Blanche is not mentioned on there at all, he said that they came and took all the old stock.
For what it is worth, it is still on the Chanel website.

Good. I got so tired of this one!!
Now I need to save my 3.4fl oz Edition Blanche to forever.
its a nice scent that lasts but doesnt project just like D&G the one. Well at least in this 50 degree weather. Will look cop if it does better in the heat
Get it on Chanel's website
No great loss IMO
I agree it is not like they discontinued Allure Home Sport or Platinum Egoiste, I might have kept Allure Edition Blanche over this new Eau Extreme
Distribution may have become limited, or in this case "vaulted," but unless it vanishes from the Chanel site, I'd hardly call it discontinued.
Sad to hear the news. I like to liberally apply this one in the summer; I guess I'll have to use it much more wisely was going to purchase the 3.4 from sephora but it's out of stock.
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
It's a great fragrance but I won't lose sleep over it.
As much as I enjoy the opening of Blanche, it just doesn't project or last on my skin. Overall though I will miss the first hour or so.
However, it most likely will be replaced by something equally horrendous......

Lemon Pledge - I won't miss it.
I never understood the hype behind Edition Blanche. I enjoy the scent, as it is a very interesting and unique fragrance, but it's not nearly as great as what a lot of people make it out to be...
I think people automatically get turned off at department stores because the first 5-10 minutes is extremely rough and unexpected to non-fragrance aficionados. That huge initial blast of lemon usually makes people wince and go WTF? They don't wait for the nice, smooth dry down.
Shame, it's a nice scent, I have a 50ml bottle and I probably will never use it completely so no real lose for me. I know I can find something that does lemon just as good.
I just tried this one recently and got a 100ml bottle. Very nice, I love citrus and this one is very smooth and comforting.
One of the best lemons out there.
Probably saving all their "lemmons" for Bleu.
A good friend of mine recently started wearing BLEU and I must say that I really think it smells good and lasts very well on him. It does have a strong lemmon smell that lasts (on my friend, at least) all through the drydown. Caused me to recently order Msr. Balmain. It's absolutely as good smelling and much cheaper!!!
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
One less crap scent on the market, good thing!

Hmmm I just went to Sephora last weekend and the SA told me that it will always be available to them. Maybe it's only becoming exclusive at Sephora
Overall the sample I received I thoroughly enjoyed and it last and projected very well on me even got a few compliments from some female.
I was actually going to purchase on Sunday...hopefully they'll still have it.
If is true... shame Chanel, for me is the best from Allure Line.
It was alive and well in Melbourne today. Great projection, but lemon tart, albeit a nice one, for 4 or 5 hours!
... And do me a favor - don't disturb my friend. He's dead tired.
Welcome to the Bwahahaha! era...
Count me among the 'no great loss' crowd.
Maybe those who'll miss it should check out Monsieur Balmain or look for the discontinued M.Micallef's Yellow Sea. Both are superior in my opinion.

i heard that it was not being discontinued, but they are now only selling it in chanel boutiques
Wow! I did a total 180 on this. Don't know what I was thinking the first time I smelled this, but I absolutely love it now. Hope it's never discontinued.
this is my favorite from the allure line too
if i got a little bit stronger projection/sillage, i'd buy it easy
Actually purchased this on April 9. Spoke with the Sephora SA she stated that they hadn't received any news about the fragrance being discontinued.
I'm loving this fragrance.
Just as long as they don't discontinue Allure Sport Cologne, I'm ok. (To me, Cologne is the best of the Allure line, and I love the lemons in it much more than Edition Blanche.)
Hated it. Overwhelming feeling of wearing creamy lemons....I don't want to smell like creamy lemons.

Chanel has a lot of other frags they should discontinue before Edition Blance. It's not a masterpiece, but it's not bad either. What's next Antaeus?
NEW from Chanel - BLEU HOMME Sport . . . BLEU Cologne Sport . . . BLEU BLANCHE . . . BLEU Extreme

But you are right: this is the first discontinued male Chanel ever if you don't count Bois Noir as far as I know.
Never liked Blanche though, so no big loss for me.
As for Blanche...I find it ok. It is a nice lemon, but it just comes off too domineering on my skin, and that's all I smell (strongly), the whole way through. Unfortunately, it does start to come off like lemon cleaner on me. That being said, my local Sephora still had this fully stocked less than a month ago.
It's a very realistic and refreshing lemons scent fragrance. However it is not worth crying over. The Eau Extreme is also very well done.

I too heard that it was not being discontinued, but rather being sold only at Chanel boutiques and at Chanel.com.
I think I'll live, still, replacing anything with a frag that contains the words "Allure Homme Sport" has to be bad.

If i remember correctly it was a limited edition. This will probably end up a hard to find frag at elevated prices within about 2 years.

In my country it`s widely available everywhere, and according to the S-A`s it`s among the best selling Chanel fragrances for men. Airports do also carry Edition Blanche.
IMO, one of the most classy and refined lemon scents on the marked.
I just came across this thread and discovered that it has been discontinued. Local stores in my area are sold out and aren't restocking it. This was on my "To Buy List" and I found that Chanel.com is still selling it directly, so I picked up a 3.4oz bottle. If anyone is still interested in purchasing this one, I recommend that you buy it directly from Chanel.com before they sell out and it's gone for good. I foresee Ebay prices shooting upward of $150 for this one in the near future.
Well, I guess we know that almost 2 yrs after this thread was first posted....it's definitely not true since this is still available on Chanel's website(albeit in only the 50ml bottle it appears) And to think that I had a freak out last night and after searching high and low found a reputable online site that still had the 100ml bottles at the $84 retail price with free shipping and decided to buy two!
I still see this at Nordstrom and Chanel Boutique.....
It is a very boring fragrance imo. I wouldn't miss it if it was discontinued.

If it's so simple, what can go wrong?
Let's start with installation. If you are technically inclined, you can purchase a kit to install your ductless mini split air conditioner. Most companies offer an installation kit. Essentially, you need to attach both the indoor and outdoor units, connect refrigerant lines, and make some electrical connections. It is important to note that while some companies will void your warrantee if you self-install, many do not.
If any of the above makes your eyes cross or cartoon question marks appear above your head, hire a professional for installation. Installation in an average home will only cost around $200. If you are already paying $1,500 to $4,000 for a system, it's a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Cat Lung Cancer
Cat Lung Cancer
There are many diseases that your cat can get and some of these can be very serious as well as fatal and it is therefore quite essential that you take your cat into your veterinarian for regular checkups. These checkups will give your vet a chance to find any serious diseases in your cat, and then, subsequently, find a treatment for them.
Whilst lung cancer is one disease that is very rare in cats, it can be treated if found in the early stages.
Lung cancer explained
The lungs are vital organs in your cat's body and their main function is to transport the oxygen into your cat's bloodstream. Unfortunately, lung cancer does spread quite rapidly and can spread to your cat's central nervous system very easily. Although lung cancer is not that common, because it can spread so easily and quickly, this is often the fatal reason for a cat's untimely death due to lung cancer.
Symptoms of lung cancer
In the early stages of lung cancer there are normally no symptoms exhibited in the cat, and this is why the disease goes undetected for so long. As the disease progresses your cat will have excessive Cat Drooling and may appear to be constantly short of breath with Cat Difficulty Breathing. As the cancer begins to spread, your cat will begin to experience Cat Loss of Weight and will also have Cat Loss of Appetite. The areas that the cancer has spread to, will begin to suffer and deteriorate and this is usually when cat owners begin to realize that their cat is unwell.
Treatment of the cancer
If you are lucky enough to find the cancer in the early stages then your vet will be able to properly treat your cat. This will be through surgery so your cat will need to be fit and well and young enough to have a good chance of surviving the procedure. The vet will remove the single mass from the lungs and then chemotherapy or radiation treatment is then used to ensure that all of the cancer has stopped. Aftercare will need to be given to your cat and in many cases they will make a full recovery.
If the cancer is found early enough then the likely hood of your cat making a full recovery is quite high. The recovery rate does depend on many factors including how advanced the cancer is, as well as how healthy your cat is. If you take your cat to the vet regularly then it is more likely that you will find problems out before they get too bad. The quicker you can have them diagnosed the better chance you are giving your cat to survive.
Ways to help your cat
Ensuring that your cat has a healthy lifestyle and a good diet will help them to combat diseases and boost their immune system. You should ensure that they have regular exercise and that you take them to a vet at the first stage that you are concerned about their health. Your cat will try to tell you in their own unique way that they are unwell and you need to learn to read these signs. Your cat relies on you to care for them and ensure that they have a good and comfortable life for as long as possible.

Midwest Living Review
The North American Bear Center offers a glimpse into the lives of these much-maligned animals. The center seeks to debunk myths about the violent nature of bears, which sometimes can be frightened by even a chipmunk. The center opened in 2007 with the goal of educating the public about bears and to end practices, such as bounties, trapping and poison, designed to eradicate them. (All eight bear species around the world are listed as vulnerable, threatened or endangered.) The staff works to conserve bear habitats and to rehabilitate injured bears so they can be returned to the wild. Three captive bears inhabit the center: Ted, the huge male; Honey, the female, who's a bit cranky; and Lucky, the cub who likes to climb and wrestle. They live in the center's forested 2-acre enclosure and can be observed from glass windows inside the center or from a great outdoor terrace. (Keep in mind, if you visit in winter, the bears will be hibernating.) The center has a number of intriguing exhibits, including one that allows you to experience a bear's strength; another lets you study a bear skeleton; and videos show a mother and cub playing, a bear digging a cave and bears hunting for food. Programs explore bear language, food and myths. Children can play junior biologist or participate in animated skits, such as "My Paw's Bigger than Your Paw." There are nature hikes, fossil studies and information on the how research bears are tracked. Photographers can take close-up shots of the bears for a $25 fee. The center is the perfect companion to another Ely-based wildlife facility, the International Wolf Center, though families should realize that paying admission for both attractions can get pretty expensive.

Lockheed Martin, Microsoft migrating EPA workforce to the cloud
Thursday - 11/1/2012, 11:37am EDT
Twenty-five thousand employees at the Environmental Protection Agency will be emailing from the cloud soon, using Microsoft Office 365. EPA hired Lockheed Martin to manage the migration to the collaboration and communication service. It will also provide engineering and integration services.
"A key to successful migration besides addressing the security compliance requirements, dealing with customized applications, tools and policies is gaining user buy-in through clear communications," said Sean Patton, Lockheed Martin's director of business development for Energy Solutions. "We're putting a lot of effort in with Microsoft and the EPA right now to ensure the users will be trained and ready for the migration."
Sean Patton, Lockheed Martin
Patton told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Thursday employees needed to understand the differences between their current email system tools and special applications of 365.
"They'll be able to use collaboration tools from their desktop and their mobile devices on the fly," he said. "That's going to be tremendously powerful for them. They just need to be aware of all the kinds of new capabilities they'll have."
Lockheed's training will help employees learn how to navigate around the new system and how it's different from their current system.
"They will see a very familiar look and feel through Office 365 compared to what's on their desktop," Patton said. "Their email will come up and their calendar will look very similar, maybe the logo in the upper left will reflect the EPA's logo as opposed to what they're accustomed to. But, overall, I think that they'll be able to navigate very simply through both SharePoint collaboration tools and their email."
Lockheed will implement 365 using EPA's active, onsite directory for authentication, so the active directory policies for employees' passwords will remain in place.
"For the end users, they'll be able to log in from their mobile device and from their desktop as usual," Patton said. "However, the active directory will map over to the Internet Office 365 federated gateway and enter then a robust series of security protocols ranging from all the way to the server and the data centers, where they're doing system level monitoring and controls, all the way down to component levels in the data center through the way they actually interact from the data center to the Internet."
The active directory component will remain on an EPA server, so the systems administrators will be able to add or subtract users or make other changes locally.
Included in EPA's collaboration package is Microsoft Communicator, which will allow employees to communicate via video chat and other online collaboration tools. Documents can also be stored online using SharePoint collaboration sites.
Patton estimated full migration would be completed by early 2013.
Intelligence community cloud coming online in early 2013

What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate is a bit of code on your web server that provides security for online communications. When a web browser contacts your secured web site, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection. It's kind of like sealing a letter in an envelope before sending it through the mail.
SSL certificates also inspire trust because each SSL certificate contains identification information. When you request an SSL certificate, a third party (such as Thawte) verifies your organization's information and issues a unique certificate to you with that information. This is known as the authentication process.
Does Authentication Really Matter?
Authentication means that a trusted third party (such as Thawte) has verified the identification information contained in your SSL certificate, assuring customers that your site is actually your site. Concerns about fraud and identity theft have made users more hesitant to share personal information with unfamiliar web sites. However, 86% of online shoppers feel more confident about entering personal information on sites using security indicators, such as a trust mark (Synovate/GMI, 2008).
Thawte is an established certificate authority and Thawte® SSL Certificates include the globally recognized trust mark, the Thawte Trusted Site Seal.
How Do I Make Sure My Users Are Protected By Strong Encryption?
If your users connect with older browsers or you are unsure how they connect, consider SGC SuperCerts with server-gated cryptography (SGC). Most SSL certificates are capable of strong encryption (128-bit or higher). However, without SGC technology, certain older browsers and operating systems cannot step-up to 128-bit encryption.
What Is A Certificate Authority?
An SSL certificate serves as a credential in the online world. Each SSL certificate uniquely identifies a specific domain (such as thawte.com) and a web server. Trust of a credential depends on confidence in the organization that issued it. Certificate authorities have a variety of methods to verify information provided by individuals or organizations. Established certificate authorities, such as Thawte, are well known and trusted by browser vendors. Browsers extend that trust to digital certificates that are verified by Thawte.
Why choose Thawte?
Thawte is trusted by millions of people worldwide. When we issue an SSL certificate, we know that our name will appear next to yours as the trusted third party who verified it. We take that trust seriously and lead the industry with rigorous authentication methods and a global infrastructure to support real-time certificate look-ups.

Monday marked the 225th anniversary of the turning point of the world — the hinge of modern human history.
On Sept. 16, 1787, kings, czars, sultans, princes, emperors, moguls, feudal lords and tribal chieftains dominated most of Earth's landmass and population. Wars and famines were commonplace. So it had always been. Democracies had existed in a few old Greek and Italian city-states, but most of these small-scale republics had winked out long before the American Revolution. While
Today, roughly half the planet lives under democracy of some sort. What happened to precipitate this stunning global transformation?
Here's what. On Sept. 17, 1787, a small cluster of American notables who had been meeting behind closed doors in
Of course, on Sept. 17, nothing had yet been ordained or established. The proposal was a mere piece of paper. But what happened over the ensuing year, in special elections held in every state, made the opening words flesh: We, the people of the
This was big news on the world stage. Before the American Revolution, no regime in history — not ancient
Nor did Americans do so in 1776. The Declaration of Independence was not put to a popular vote, nor were any of the state constitutions that were adopted that year. In 1780, the people of
In this unprecedented series of special elections, most states lowered or waived their ordinary property requirements. Never in human history had so many gotten to vote on society's basic ground rules.
True, the ratification elections of 1787-88 look anemic when judged by the standards of 2012: What about women and slaves? But women and slaves had never voted anywhere in the world before 1787. Judged by the standards of its era, the breadth of democratic participation was epic — world-changing.
So was the depth of participation. In the ratification elections of 1787-88, the continent teemed with talk of the freest sort. Both supporters and opponents of the September plan spoke freely, with almost no fear of legal or political persecution. Leading men on both sides of the Great Debate of 1787-88 later came to hold positions of high honor — as presidents, vice presidents and Supreme Court justices — under the new regime.
The American conversation in 1776 had been far less open. The war had begun well before independence was declared, and virtually all who opposed independence in 1776 were cast into political exile. Almost none of these men later held any noteworthy American office, ever.
Shortly after the people convened in 1787-88 to say "Yes, we do," Americans fashioned a Bill of Rights to fix some of the biggest bugs of Constitution 1.0. In effect, the document was crowd-sourced by the people themselves. Unsurprisingly, no phrase appeared more often in the Bill of Rights than "the people." Later amendments carried forward this democratic momentum, repeatedly expanding but almost never limiting liberty and equality, and eventually welcoming blacks, women, young adults and unpropertied Americans as equal democratic participants.
In short, the extraordinary democratic momentum generated by the votes and voices of 1787-88 has continued to propel
And not just
Why should we care about democracy's spread? For starters, because no well-established democracy in the modern era has ever reverted to despotism. Modern mature democracies have not waged war against one another or experienced widespread famine.

- Contact your network administrator. If you share a Wi-Fi network with others, like at a school or business, another computer in your network might be sending automated searches to Google. Your network administrator or IT professional might be able to locate and stop the source of the problem.
- Reset your modem or router. If you don't have a network administrator, try resetting your modem or router to see if that fixes the issue.
Once the automated searches have stopped, you should be able to search normally on Google.
