Lithia drives up its energy efficiency
Send this to a friend
- Oliver Kesting, Energy Trust of Oregon
Oregon's Lithia Motors Inc, the ninth largest auto dealer in the U.S., recently installed energy-efficient lighting projects at six dealerships in Medford and Klamath Falls — receiving cash incentives of $89,790 from Energy Trust of Oregon in return.
Like many local businesses, Lithia Motors keeps a close watch on its bottom line and looks to energy-saving projects as a way to operate more efficiently and maintain its edge in a competitive industry. This Oregon auto dealer has also built upon the foundation of these energy-efficiency projects to emerge as a leader in embracing sustainability as part of its corporate culture.
Since 2004, Lithia Motors has saved nearly 1.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity through dozens of lighting projects at dealerships throughout Oregon. Energy Trust has provided more than $265,000 in cash incentives toward the cost of these energy-efficiency improvements.
Right now, the company is building a new 70,000-square-foot headquarters in Medford that is expected to earn LEED Silver certification. Lithia is investing in renewable energy with a solar array on the roof of the new headquarters building and actively participates in energy awareness events to highlight the latest in energy-efficient vehicle technologies.
At its dealerships, Lithia's biggest use of power is in parking lot display lights. According to Mark DeBoer, Lithia's vice president of real estate, the company has been working to upgrade to more efficient lighting at its lots in Oregon and across the country. Its recent cash incentives resulted from projects in Medford at Nissan, Honda, Toyota and BMW dealerships and Lithia Body and Paint, as well as Lithia Ford in Klamath Falls. These projects alone are expected to save 271,295 kilowatt hours — or about about $20,890 in utility costs.

Lewiston House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6
Listen to the call of the loons from a modern, 3 bedroom, 2 bath A-frame house located on the shores of serene, 415 acre Avery Lake near Lewiston, MI. A quiet place to appreciate nature and just relax. Area wildlife includes deer, elk, black bear, bald eagles and more. Enjoy excellent fishing for smallmouth bass, walleye, pike and panfish. Fly fishing for smallmouth bass is great in the summer and fall, and we encourage catch and release. Three kayaks, a canoe, a row boat (on which you can put your own outboard motor, up to 15hp) and a new STAND-UP PADDLE BOARD are provided. Numerous trout streams are nearby too.
Much of the lake is surrounded by Mackinaw State Forest, which provides miles of trails for snowmobiling, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, hiking and thousands of acres for hunting. About a half hour drive to the fabulous Garland Resort for golfing or cross-country skiing or less than an hour drive to Gaylord, the Golf Mecca of the Midwest.
The house is located in a very private, wooded setting, on a small island with a drivable causeway and bridge. There are three large bedrooms, each having access to outside decks. Also, there is a large deck off the living room with a great view of the sunset over the lake. The front of the house facing the lake contains large windows affording a panoramic view of the lake and surrounding hills from the living room and kitchen areas. The interior of the house is paneled in rustic knotty pine complemented by a cathedral ceiling. There is a nice lakeside deck, which provides access to a great swimming area. We want you to have a great experience here and will be happy to provide you with any information about area fishing, canoeing, hiking, etc. Maximum of six guests during any stay, please, and we have had a long-standing policy of no pets, as some of our regular and repeating guests have allergies.
Montmorency County is probably one of the least developed counties of northern Michigan. Much of the county consists of state forest land. The area abounds in beautiful lakes and clear trout streams. Very close to Avery Lake, are small streams like Hunt Creek and Gilchrist Creek, each having gin-clear water with good populations of brown trout. Canada Creek is just north of Atlanta, and has some surprisingly good brook trout fishing. About 25 miles directly south, the Au Sable River flows through Huron National Forest and is designated a National Wild and Scenic River in this stretch. Great opportunities for floating this river exist, and you are welcome to transport our canoes and/or kayaks to the river for a great day of fishing or just enjoying nature.
In the northwest part of Montmorency County, the beautiful Pigeon River State Forest has abundant small lakes and some very decent trout streams as well. Try fishing on the East Branch of the Black River, or the Main Branch of the Black for wild brookies, or the Sturgeon River or the Pigeon River for brookies, rainbows and browns. All are within about a 30 to 45 minute drive from Avery Lake.
For golfers, Garland Resort is probably one of the nicest courses in the area. And of course there are the many fabulous courses in the Gaylord area.
Great dining is found at the Lewiston Lodge, about a 20 minute drive from Avery Lake, between the huge lakes of East Twin and West Twin. Lewiston, Michigan is located on East Twin and has a decent grocery store and additional great restaurants - like the Redwood Steak House.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Daniel McCormick
We are Dan and Cheryl, and although we actually purchased the property in 2003, it has been in our family since the mid 70s. We both grew up in Toledo, Ohio, but we have been coming to beautiful Avery Lake since the late 60s, when we camped at the state forest campground. We now divide our time between Avery Lake, Ohio, and Florida.
Daniel McCormick purchased this house in 2003
Why Daniel McCormick chose Lewiston
We absolutely love the area that Avery Lake is located in. It is so removed from the hustle-bustle of downstate life. It is located in Montmorency County, which is probably the least developed of all the counties the northern part of lower Michigan. The lake water is of the highest quality. The drinking water comes from an 80 foot well and we think its the best!
We have two (now adult) children who were practically raised at Avery Lake in the summer, and they come back each year for a wonderful family reunion. The memories of this place are an important part of all of our lives, and Cheryl and Dan want to share with you the beauty that the house and area offer.

What we call #Freestyle is a weekly tradition on RapCity. Every Thursday we pin two MCs against each other, giving them 45 seconds to spit using three suggested words. A winner is then decided and returns the next week to defend.
This week featured reigning champ QShinobi defending against newcomer Church Chizzle. In the first battle, Q hit all his words, but Church missed #stacks. This meant a rematch was needed, and a second #Freestyle battle went down later in the show.
While a jury usually decides on who the winner is, for the second battle the verdict was decided by the audience. This time around, Church Chizzle was declared champ.
Watch the drama unfold below…

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 222 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pirandello Great Location, Great Bar The Sheraton Park Tower is an upscale, comfortable hotel with a great location in Knightsbridge and an exceptionally pleasant bar. Although named the "piano bar," it offers live piano music at the cocktail hour only on weekdays (Monday through Thursday). On my most recent stay the only service lapse was that the newspaper I requested at check-in was never delivered during my 7-day stay, but otherwise service is generally accommodating and attentive. The upper floor rooms have outstanding views. December 2, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by FQ11 Stay Away! Absolutely AWFUL Establishment This has to be the most POORLY run Starwood hotel. I stayed there in Jan 2012, arriving in the evening after a long flight and was told to wait 20 mins as the room was not available. More than an hour and a half later, there was still no room. I asked to talk to the GM and was told they could not let me do that. I insisted and they put me through to his VM, but before connecting to his VM, a room miraculously became available. There was no follow up from the management, no apologies, nothing. I complained to Starwood upon return to the US and there was still no follow-up. When I checked later they said the hotel claimed they followed up with me, but it was a blatant lie. My advice: choose this hotel at your own peril. Service like this is the first sign of an organization getting ready to go down the tubes. May 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Excellent hotel I took my girlfriend down to London for her birthday and stayed at the Park Towers. Excellent hotel, beautifully appointed, attentive staff and the room was brilliant - The bed was superb, would quite happily have taken it home with me if I was allowed, it was that comfy! Tried the room service and that was delicious - do try the chips!! My girlfriend had a wonderful weekend, the hotel and staff helped make that experience so many thanks to all involved. December 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by tucker99 Great location The Kensington area is a great shopping area with easy walks to Hyde Park (Kensington Palace), Green Park and St James Park (Buckingham Palace). The Underground is a half block away to access to SoHo, Piccadilly Circus, Convent Gardens, etc. The hotel is also a resonably 45 minute Taxi to the airport. The only slightly negative comment would be the speaker in the bathroom from the TV. If someone is having a bath and trying to read there is no way of adjusting the volume to be different or off from the main room. July 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sam12345 Two-star service, at best This hotel massively dissapoints on service I ordered room service, which (after my needing to call to inquire) arrived 90 minutes after ordering. when it arrived the food was cool. When I noted this to the staff, I barely got an 'sorry', much less any acknoledgement of the issue. There are much better levels of service to be had in London. June 17, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by FrequentT Poor Service, Poor Level of Hygiene Urgent need for attention. This is not a 5* hotel. Had a lot of incidents with the air conditioning, then the heating, then air conditioning again. Leaks in the room. Food was bellow average. When complained, I was told technicians are on site for complaints and to sort out faults; which although true, maintenance should not come at my expense and the expense of my sleep and comfort, which the duty managers seem to disagree on when told a Premier inn hotel would have refunded the night of No sleep due to fault in air conditioning at 1 and 3am in the morning and leak damaging shoes, which was only resolved after more than a week. Complaints were being met by being indifferent. Customer service is very poor, but then can't blame staff if duty managers are even worse. Things go missing in this hotel and guess what the claim is always " we never saw anything" we found nothing. Lost a shoe, which was found after about 2 days. A belt, which was never found. Door slamming next door, not repaired despite complaint. Guest continues slamming door at a rate of 20 times an hour till about 4 am. Had no sleep this weekend. List goes on, poor hygiene in room despite complaints about carpet needs cleaning and hoovered, they were ignored. June 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by london247 Unrivalled luxury & SPG recongition I booked two rooms for my Mum's Birthday - 1 on points & the other paid for. I requested joining rooms and used one of my suite night rewards. On arrival we were personally greeted and upgraded to a two bedroom suite on the 15th floor - which was one of the best rooms that I have stayed in EVER! The most stunning panoramic views of London. The staff made our stay so special with champagne & an amazing chocolate cake. I could not recommend this hotel enough as they made me feel an extremely valued member of SPG plus a special thank you to my Ambassador for making everything possible February 23, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by gavmcc Disappointing check-in experience I have stayed in this hotel a couple of times before. Great location, nice rooms. But as a SPG Platinum Guest, you are supposed to be offered a welcome gift, breakfast and upgrades (even to suites) if available. There was no recognition of my SPG status at check-in. I was told there we no suites available for tonight. I just checked online and there are suite rooms available on the website. I make a point of always booking a Starwood hotel - because loyalty is rewarded - but not at this hotel it seems. Still, nice view and location. April 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by LawyerCat Re-reviewing because hotel refused to post initial review I had a negative review of this hotel that the hotel manager read and refused to post. As a result I am re-reviewing it. Note though that I'm unable to speak to the actual issue that caused me to need to re-review the hotel. Suffice it to say that you shouldn't stay here as long as it remains unfixed, which the manager's email to me suggests that it won't be. I am generally positive about Starwood hotels and have reviewed a fair number of them. I wish they would let you know why this hotel shouldn't be on your list. But the fact that they won't should tell you something important. If they do fix this, you should consider the hotel. I was quite impressed with the room size for London as well as its proximity to the Knightsbridge Tube station. The piano bar is great and has very good food. The staff... well, it's London, you shouldn't expect much customer service here. The bathrooms in even the standard rooms are perfectly good and they have both a shower and a tub. May 5, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by CBeatty Worst Service Ever This was my 6th extended stay at the Park Tower and I will not come back. I will also tell my corporate colleagues to avoid this hotel. Three times, room service was over two hours in queue. Room would not cool and they said they would look into it with no follow up. We called twice more to complain and they said that it was southern facing would check the chillers and never came back to us. Tea service never arrived when requested. We were treated poorly by desk staff, but kindly by wait staff. I expected them at any moment to say the hotel was no longer owned by Starwood. We have stayed at far more economical SPG properties and treated like royalty. Everyone makes mistakes, it's how they are handled that counts. Too many missed opportunities to save my business here. Beware this property from march 2012 onward. March 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by TENJ10 Very Poor Breakfast experience My main complaint was I do not expect to pay top prices in a 5 star hotel and have to queue up for over 25 minutes to get a table for breakfast. I have never ever experienced this in any other hotel 5 star or otherwise and thought it was an absolute disgrace. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JCMCK always consistent My wife and I have stayed at the spt for years and have never had a bad experience. staff are friendly and helpful and its so nice to see regular faces at the front of the hotel and at reception.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Zee17 Could do with improvement Rooms are great! Spacious with a fab view and cleanliness very good. Disappointing features - for a 5 star hotel - no tea/coffee making facilities, no free wifi and above all - staff not up to standard! Doormen loiter outside and do not bother to open the doors or help get cabs or acknowledge guests unless forced to! Late check out was requested and despite hotel not being full at all, extension was for one hour only. Shame as this hotel's location is great and it has the capacity to be a really fabulous hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TJ477 Definitely stay here while in London I was not sure what to expect given I had not been to this hotel before. I was bringing my family and using points. I was hoping to use my suite upgrades but thought it would not be available. Well, the hotel made the trip. We were upgraded to a magnificent suite. This included butler service and breakfast in the room. The service was spectacular. Location perfect! Could not imagine more they could have done. It was a great locatoin for family and business. Easy to get a round and perfect for a stroll in the park. Also several muesums (Science, natural history) are close by. Highly recommended. August 15, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by rsmac Great stay Stayed on airline reward points this past summer (July). Recognised my SPG and placed us in superior room on high floor with view over Westminster. Staff were amazing, the training and execution by the staff were great at the desk, lounge, restaurants etc. This was our last 3 days of a long trip - Sheraton Park Tower made our trip memorable, food was great. Parking is the only concern at this hotel. Some talk about smaller room space, but the new rennovations provide lots of usable space and we've seen much smaller rooms in London hotels - we were very pleased with the space in the room. Can't beat the location for shopping! We constantly recommend this hotel after our stay in July/August 2011. December 8, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by kylesmimi Front Desk Staff Needs Retraining We choose the Park Tower carefully after reading many reviews. Since reviews were improving, especially for guests traveling on points, we reserved for the last 3 nights of our trip, redeeming additional points to secure an upgraded room with a view. We were greeted warmly by the doorman when we arrived and were ushered to the front desk. At prime check-in time on a Friday afternoon, we were "helped" by a trainee who did not make eye contact and could not find us in the computer. The trainee finally deferred to another front desk person who never looked up from her computer to acknowledge us and who also spent a long time searching for our reservation. When the reservation was located and our SPG Platinum status was not mentioned, I inquired if we had received an upgrade. The clerk responded (still no eye contact), "no", the best they could do was the 6th floor. Our "view" (for the additional points we redeemed) was of the roofs of nearby buildings, with the tiniest glimpse of the London Eye in the distance. We immediately regretted redeeming the additional points.......the only time we have felt "taken" by a guaranteed upgrade. The room itself was comfortable, the breakfast was good, as was the dining room staff. The hotel is in a nice location and the recent refurbishment of the common areas is wonderful. It is our contention, however, that the front desk staff should be as welcoming as the doorman, which they definitely were not. At checkout, I was asked how our stay was. My response was "so-so." The front desk clerk kept her eyes on her computer screen and said "Oh, have a nice flight". Her parting comment and lack of interest truly sums up the reason why this was our first, last and only stay at this hotel. July 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by GreigG Standards have dropped. I have stayed at this hotel many times and been very happy with the standards. On this visit there was a marked deterioration in the service levels. This was evidenced by: - newspaper being offered on check in but being delivered on some days but not others. - staff in the restaruant at breakfast who consistently failed to clear away dirty dishes. - a coffee machine in the suite and despite a request for coffee pods and an assurance they would be delivered, they never turned up. - porter took more than 20 minutes to arrive on checkout at 7pm - Service Express failing to answer the phone on numerous occasions such that I actually got a technician to check the phone because I thought it was not working.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ayrton91 Excellent location and a wonderful hotel It was our first family trip to London, and we wanted something centrally located and close to Hyde Park, so we chose the hotel for its excellent location. Once there we were positively surprised, as not only the location was great, but the rooms were spacious, modern, nicely decorated and in excellent shape. The views are amazing and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. All in all this was a wonderful find and has become our preferred hotel in London. July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Laurentiu Great hotel in a leafy upmarket London neighborhood Booked this hotel thanks to its central location in London, my SPG membership as well as the need to feel pampered for our 20th marriage anniversary :-). We spent six nights, yet we would have loved to spend twice as much. Beside getting immersed in this city's awesomeness every single day, we enjoyed the following hotel features: - the room (we were upgraded to a Panoramic room on a high floor with nice view over Hyde Park): spacious, clean, comfortable bed with soft and spotless linen; - One-o-one Restaurant: sublime food (we enjoyed probably the best crab we've ever had) and a remarkable sommelier (congratulations!). If it's amazing food with perfectly paired wine that you're after when you go to a restaurant in the City, then go for 101! - the courtesy, smile and flawless service of most of hotel's staff. But, as in 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves', at least one must be the Grumpy. In this case it was the butlers... Two other areas of improvement towards perfection: - provide complimentary freshly brewed coffee upon request (not just instant coffee) as many luxury hotels around the world do; - introduce the 'wow factor' in the breakfast buffet (which is good otherwise, but nothing worthwhile to remember). Overall a nice experience, we definitely recommend the hotel! August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by harrymike1234 Staff exceptional The entire staff was so helpful but particularly the front desk. We had 2 rooms reserved and arrived jet lagged but were promptly accommodated and upgraded.

Green days done, Allen fits Miami
MIAMI -- For those who've grown accustomed to Ray Allen in a Boston Celtics uniform, those who've come to appreciate the artistry that was the Boston offense when Allen masterfully used screens to find open spaces, the idea of him being a "fit" with the Miami Heat might not register as easily.
For those who've simply been fans of Allen, or are fond of pure rivalries and believe in never crossing enemy lines, the concept of Allen fitting in snugly with the Heat is downright profane.
But when you remove all shades of green -- that's Celtics green and the envy felt from other teams watching the defending champs get even better -- you start to realize just how perfect a match this is.
It's not just that Allen, the league's all-time leader in 3-pointers made, will be spacing the floor for two of the league's most threatening penetrators.
Hill: Allen, Nash Cross Lines
Ray Allen joining the Heat and Steve Nash going to the Lakers are the latest examples that rivalries among players and teams now seem to be as shallow as a Kim Kardashian marriage, Jemele Hill writes. Story
• Haberstroh: Heat's attack plan?
• Wallace: Interpreting Allen
• Mason: Aging ammunition
It's the meshing of a man whose family is ever-present with an organization that preaches family as much as any other in the league.
It's the common bond he suddenly shares with LeBron James and Chris Bosh and, by association, the entire Heat roster because he left a familiar organization and is already being disparaged by his former fan base.
Allen, and to a slightly lesser extent Rashard Lewis, makes perfect sense in a Miami Heat uniform.
"The type of guys we're looking for, no doubt about it, not everbody's a good fit here," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Ray's a perfect fit."
In the five years Allen was in Boston, the balance on that roster was as ideal as anyone could imagine. With Allen, Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, you had four All-Star caliber players with almost no duplication in their respective games.
It not only made for beautiful music on the offensive end at times, but it was a group committed to defense as well, making that core the envy of many around the league.
In Miami, though, the idea of traditional balance left when LeBron James arrived. Meshing two explosive wing scorers like James and Dwyane Wade while using a big man in Chris Bosh as floor spreader doesn't exactly fall in line with basketball convention.
That's the beauty of Allen. His greatest skill, the outside shooting, is one that can fit in with any system, of course.
Allen isn't as spry as he once was, nor will he be asked to perform at the level he did for those teams. But this is still the player who bragged loudly after the 2001 All-Star Game about shutting down power forward Antonio McDyess during his East team's comeback victory.
He doesn't want to be pigeonholed if he can avoid it, so the idea of playing for a Heat team that's touting the concept of being "position-less" sounds great to Allen.
It's probably why he and Spoelstra were in the coach's office chatting for about two hours last Thursday when Allen visited the Heat for the first time. They were gone so long, Riley started wondering where they were.
"Man, we talked about every basketball philosophy that we shared," Allen said. "To a point where he said, 'Well, I don't know if you're coming, but I'll just tell you this anyway.'
"That was similar to how we played in Seattle, get the ball up the floor, spread the floor, attack the basket and make the easy, extra pass. That's what Miami did to us the last couple years, and they got even better at it this year."
It wasn't until the NBA Finals that the Heat looked exactly like the team Riley envisioned when he brought them together, a team living off the penetration of James and Wade while knocking down one open 3 after the next.
Now with Allen and Lewis in the mix, it should only become more difficult to defend.
But Allen and Lewis also slide in perfectly with the culture Riley has spent the past 17 years instituting.
Not only are both family men, but Allen's wife and Lewis' wife were good friends when the two men played in Seattle. Lewis played in Orlando for Stan Van Gundy, a Riley disciple in many ways, and Allen is from a military background and appreciates structure and hard work.
But most of all, the additions of Allen and Lewis fit in so well with the Heat's repeat efforts because they add new dynamics that re-energize a team that seemingly couldn't have been happier or more determined than they were just three weeks ago.
The last time the Heat tried defending a title, Riley brought back almost the exact same roster as the 2006 team's that won the championship.
The start of the season, with a handful of players who went from feeling desperate to feeling entitled, was a near disaster. And through the end, with a shoulder injury to Wade making matters more difficult, they were never able to replicate the level of desire needed to make another serious run.
This time around, Riley has already added two players who can keep that from happening again.
In Allen, the Heat have a champion who has experienced a failed repeat attempt and understands the pitfalls (he joins Wade and Udonis Haslem as players who've been there).
And in Lewis, the Heat added a ring-less veteran that can be a source of motivation for all those who've already pocketed at least one.
Back in 2006, Shaquille O'Neal, a three-time champion already, spoke often about how badly he wanted to win a title for Alonzo Mourning and Gary Payton and Antoine Walker.
NBA Free Agency

Free agents | Trade Targets | RC
• Insider: Free-agent PER rankings
• More: TrueHoop | Trade Machine
Riley knows both the successful and unsuccessful side of trying to repeat. So he's learned his lessons.
"Ray and I had a good conversation about this," Riley said. "Some of the reasons why it happens entitlement, being comfortable. All of a sudden players expect more of this, more of that. It's not the same feeling.
"We've got to raise the bar. It's not an easy thing. What we didn't do back then [in 2006-07] is we didn't add people like Ray, or Rashard, or like last year when we added Shane [Battier]. Probably that was my mistake. You've got to keep adding to it."
Ideally, you add players who slide right into the game plan, which Allen and Lewis certainly do.
And you add players with extreme motivation. Lewis' is simple: win his first ring, while proving his past two injury-prone seasons were anomalies.
For Allen, it'll include proving the Celtics wrong for not making him a higher priority. And soon enough he'll learn that being hated -- as it would appear he suddenly is in Boston for joining the enemy -- is part of regular business in Miami.
"I've given so much, not only on the floor but off the floor, so I think there's a sense of sadness and hurt, I think, that the people feel," Allen said. "And we feel that, too, as a family. We feel the sense of loss that we'll have by not being in that community, and that's understandable."
So you see, once you get past the idea that Allen left a team he won a championship with to join what was his most bitter rival (that's easy to do, right?), you start to see why Allen to the Heat made so much sense. Throw Lewis in that mix, and it already makes for an ideal offseason for the Heat.
That's a thought not many outside of Miami want to hear. But here they go again.

This free ebook is about a crew of four that get stranded on a planet called second Earth that is crawling with dinosaurs. With no way back to their home planet the Earthlings must find a way to coexist with the dinosaurs or die trying. I hope that you enjoy this read.
Quite interesting although the spelling, grammar and syntax were poor. The author needed an editor and proofreader. I believe the story could have been fleshed out a bit more in details and descriptions with some worthwhile character development of both the central earth space visitors/castaways and the cave dwellers as well.

TO TOKYO, WITH LOVE: Rebecca Minkoff hosted a Girls Night Out event, right before Hurricane Sandy swept the East Coast. But the event took place far from home at her 3,000-square-foot Ginza store in Tokyo, complete with a singing bartender and custom nail art in Minkoff's fall and resort prints. Minkoff flew to Japan to celebrate her Ginza store that opened in March, and the opening of her new 1,000-square-foot store in Nagoya.
Minkoff has been expanding her business throughout Japan. This fall, she opened four shop-in-shops and one more is set to open next month in Osaka. In addition, the firm has opened five pop-up shop locations in Shibuya Seibu, Isetan Kyoto, Ikebukuro Tobu, Isetan Shinjuku and Nagoya Takashimaya.
Uri Minkoff, chief executive officer of Minkoff, said the Rebecca Minkoff Collection is also headed to Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, and the handbags will be carried in Lane Crawford's Lab Concept. In addition, the designer is selling at Rustan's in the Philippines and Tangs in Singapore. Elsewhere, Minkoff has also begun distribution at Selfridges and Harrods in the U.K., as well as Galeries Lafayette in Indonesia and Harvey Nichols in Kuwait. In total, Minkoff sells at more than 150 doors outside the U.S. in 30 countries.
Next up for Minkoff? A freestanding store closer to home at 96 Greene Street, that opens in August.

Maillezais Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Maillezais) is a ruined Roman Catholic cathedral in the commune of Maillezais in the Vendée, France. Formerly the Abbey of Saint-Pierre, the ruins consist of a church, refectory, dormitory, kitchen, cellars, turrets and ramparts. The cathedral has been declared as a heritage monument in reflection of its Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance form. It was designated as a monument historique on 30 January 1924.[1][2] The cathedral belonged to the Diocese of Luçon with rites of Roman (Latin) with St. Peter as the Patron Saint.[3]
In 1060, a monk named Peter recounted that during a hunting expedition in 976, Countess Emma, the wife of William IV, Duke of Aquitaine, discovered the ruins of a chapel dedicated to Saint-Hilaire and decided to found an abbey. The couple contributed to the structure's rebuilding and it became an important monastery in Pays de la Loire.[2][4] The church was consecrated in 989 by Gombald, Archbishop of Bordeaux. Located in Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux, Vendée, it was 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the current abbey. Father Gausbert, cousin of Countess Emma, brought thirteen monks from Église Saint-Julien de Tours to settle at the abbey. The Benedictine facility was initially under the jurisdiction of Saint-Julien de Tours, later passing to Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers. In 1010, Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux transferred to St. Peter Maillezais. William V, Duke of Aquitaine was buried at the abbey's cloister in 1030. His sons Guillaume and Eudes, chose to be buried in Maillezais as well.
Around 1100, Abbot Pierre wrote two books on the construction and transfer of the Abbey of Maillezais.[4]
In 1225, Geoffroy d'Estissac, who was envious of Maillezais, attacked and looted the abbey. Excommunicated from the church, he went to Rome and apologized to the Pope in the presence of the abbot of Maillezais for his wrongful deeds. After he was pardoned, he restructured it with additional bays to the nave.[5] While Geoffroy II Povereau was the abbot in the early 14th century, it was a large property consisting of churches, priories, and large fertile land.[5]
The Marais Poitevin was developed in early part of the 13th century, when the abbeys of Maillezais Nieul-sur-l'Autise, Saint-Michel-en-Herm, and the Absie St. Maixent joined together. In 1317, Pope John XXI restructured the French episcopate when Philip V was the king. He carved out many new bishoprics with cathedrals from the diocese of Poitiers, which included raising the status of Maillezais to a bishopric with its own cathedral in the aftermath of the suppression of the Albigensians. It became an episcopal city (and also of Luzon) and was called the Saint-Pierre Cathedral. The abbot was elevated to the rank of Bishop of Maillezais. The first bishop was Geoffroy. The cathedral became a center of intellectual pursuits. François Rabelais was invited by Bishop Geoffroy d'Estissac to teach at the abbey; he taught there for five years, and later became famous writer.[2][5] The refurbishing of the cathedral was continued and in the middle of the 14th century a transept was added in gothic style and a bell was also provided. There were many improvements to the cathedral's interiors such as better furnishings, conversion of the abbot's residence into an episcopal palace, building of monastery's dormitory near the second cloister. However what remains among the ruins of the cathedral are its eastern and southern wings.[5]
Other bishops of the cathedral were among were Guillaume de Lucé (1421–38) and Thibaud de Lucé (1438–55) who were political counselors to Charles VII, King of France.[4] Further improvements took place when Geoffrey d'Estissac of Périgord became the bishop in 1518. It was the last refurbishing done and the additions made were the choir of the cathedral and also the castle of Coulonges on l'Autise.[5] During the period after 1528, after Rabelais who in charge of the monastic order from 1524–28, there was internecine war between the Catholics and the Protestants. The cathedral was destroyed in 1562 in the course of the Reformation and subsequent Wars of Religion. In 1589, Agrippa d'Aubigné, a Protestant, a scholar and a poet, became the bishop and fortified the cathedral with a watch tower. The fort became a stronghols of the Protestants for the next thirty years till the Duke of Rohan succeeded him.
When during the late 16th and early 17th century the Protestants of the Huguenots had converted it into a fort like structure, the Catholics had to even baptize their children outside the city limits. It remained under the control of the Protestants till 1618.[6] But by 1619 the cathedral was back under the control of the Catholics and Henri de Sourdis became the Bishop. In 1629, the Bishopric of Maillezais was one of the richest in France with a lease value of 35,000 livres.[7] It remained the seat of the bishopric Maillezais until 1648, when the bishopric was transferred to the St. Louis Cathedral of La Rochelle. It was then abandoned.[2] Henri de Sourdis could not function as Pope Innocent X decided to move its functions to Episcopal La Rochelle from 1666. The monastic community continued at the site until 1666.[2] After that Maillezais remained abandoned.[5]
However, the cathedral remained neglected till after the Revolution when it was sold as national property to serve as a stone quarry. In 1840, it was returned to the people who decided to maintain the cathedral as a heritage monument. It was designated a historical monument on 30 January 1924. It was only after 1996 that the General Council of the Vendée took interest in its restoration.[2]
William V, Duke of Aquitaine who was responsible for its initial restoration in the 10th century is buried in the chapel.[2]
Architectural and archaeological remains[edit]
The façade on the west gable of the church built in 1025, which consisted of two bays of naves flanked by two towers, is now fully open. The staircase to access the first floor, which existed originally, is also missing. The fortifications in the form of battlements built in the 15th century by Agrippa are still seen. Of the seven bays added with partial columns with capitals are camouflaged by the fortifications, only the top four Romanesque bays are visible. A realignment is seen in this on account of the second floor raised in later years. Three large Gothic windows topped with dissimilar arcades provide light to the naves.[8]
Out of the high transepts, built in first half of the fourteenth century, only the north transept part is visible now. At the lower part of the walls of the transept decorated arches are seen and in some part it has a door which provides views of the warheads. A decorated arched cornice is seen at the second level and it has two large openings in the Gothic style.[8]
The bell tower has fully survived and from the top of the tower vistas of the marsh that surrounds the cathedral could be seen. Entrance to the tower is through a door decorated with carvings. The view from the tower also covers the northwest wall of the ruins. The façade on the northern side wall has five protective boxes, which were erected in the twelfth century.[8]
Archaeological excavations done at the cloister and near the refectory have revealed foundations of buildings, kitchen, refectory, dormitory, and chapter house; all built around a central garden. The kitchen had an octagonal layout. Tombs, pots, urns, remnants of columns, two capitals, butt of abbot copper enamels (dated to late thirteenth century), silos, washbasins, cellar (of 12th century) were also found. The fourteenth-century buildings such as the inn do not exist now.[8]
Excavation done in the south wing has revealed a salt cellar at the entrance which is a large vaulted room in the basement which was used by monks for making salt. At the ground floor level there are two rooms used for dining, with kitchen located in the basement which had a central fireplace. In the upper floor there was a second dining room as part of the dormitory with wooden fittings and a fireplace at the centre. A pier provided the approach to the moors which could be used for plying boats through its winding channels from where one can get views of the "imposing ruins of the abbey silhouetted in the sky".[8]

How TV Criticism Has Changed ... And Where It's Going
Today is my last day with AOL, having served AOL TV and TV Squad in various capacities since November 1, 2005, and I've enjoyed every day of it. What's been the most interesting thing about my time here, when Keith McDuffee hired me to blog for TV Squad right after it and the rest of Weblogs, Inc. (Engadget, TUAW, Joystiq, etc.) were bought by AOL, has been how the coverage of TV has changed in...
'Cougar Town' Season 2 Finale Recap
['Cougar Town' - 'Something Good Coming'] Most people who watched tonight's season finale of 'Cougar Town' are fans of the show and have been watching all season, so the observation I'm about to make isn't going to come as a big surprise: Somehow, a show about a bunch of neighbors hanging out and drinking wine has actually managed to develop some pretty interesting stories. Sure, last...
'Modern Family' Season 2 Finale Recap
['Modern Family' - 'The One That Got Away'] If you read my 'Modern Family' recap last week, you'll remember that I said that last week's episode like it was a season finale, and wondered what we'd see tonight. Well, tonight also felt like a season finale ... for at least a couple of minutes in the middle and at the end. Otherwise, it felt like just a normal episode, and not one of the show's...
Mark-Paul Gosselaar & Breckin Meyer Talk 'Franklin & Bash'
It feels like both Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer have been on a whole lot of TV shows, doesn't it? But when the stars of TNT's new lawyer dramedy 'Franklin & Bash' (premieres Wed., June 1 at 9PM ET) sat down with AOL TV to talk about the show, Gosselaar took pains to mention that, despite the presence of such flame-outs as 'Inside Schwartz' on Meyer's IMDb profile, his co-star has...
'Glee' Season 2 Finale Recap
['Glee' - 'New York'] It's been very difficult for me to write about the second season of 'Glee' without sounding like a humorless grouch. There has been a lot to take in this year, from the event episodes to the Super Bowl spectacular to needing a scorecard to keep track of the different romances to the trifecta of Gwyneth Paltrow episodes to Sue Sylvester flying off the rails. I could...
Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga Shine in the 'Saturday Night Live' Season Finale
Last night, 'Saturday Night Live' aired its 36th season finale, and the writers and producers saved one of the best episodes of the season for last. The presence of perennial favorite host Justin Timberlake gave the writers license to bring back characters that are very familiar to regular 'SNL' watchers. It's the ultimate sign that Timberlake is quickly becoming this generation's version of...
Mark Burnett on Donald Trump, 'The Voice' & Why 'Survivor' Survives
Mark Burnett was in a bit of a feisty mood yesterday. It's understandable, given the combination of controversy and great ratings that have been attached to some of the reality shows he produces lately. He's got three currently on the air. First, there's 'The Celebrity Apprentice,' which is steaming towards its live finale (Sunday, May 22, 9PM ET on NBC), with John Rich and Marlee Matlin facing...
'Parks and Recreation' Boss Mike Schur on the Eventful Finale & Season 4
Last night's 'Parks and Recreation' season finale was a game-changer for the show. Something big happened to every major character in the last act of the last episode, setting up a Season 4 that will have a lot going on. Both in my recap and in my colleague Mo Ryan's assessment, we bring up those changes and speculate what that might mean for the show coming out of a successful third season --...
'Parks and Recreation' Season 3, Episodes 15 and 16 (Season Finale) Recap
['Parks and Recreation' - 'The Bubble'/'Li'l Sebastian'] As much as these two episodes are linked together as a "season finale" (there are even "Part One/Part Two" titles before each episode), the only thing that really links the two is the story of Leslie and Ben and the lengths they're going to in order to keep their relationship a secret. Let's just say that they're not doing a very good...
'The Office' Season 7, Episode 24 (Season Finale) Recap
['The Office' - 'Search Committee'] Right off the bat, let me give this caveat to my review: Going in, I knew that this was going to be a very difficult episode for the writers of 'The Office' to pull off. The first degree of difficulty was that the episode was an hour, which is not something that this show has excelled at in the past. The second degree of difficulty was the multitude of...

Veteran batsman Misbah-ul Haq, one of the prime candidates who is in the fray to lead the Pakistan side in the forthcoming World Cup has said that playing in the mega event would be a dream come true for him. Misbah, 36, who has never played in World Cup and is currently the captain of the Test team said that taking part in a World Cup tournament feels playing in the showpiece event is a dream for every cricketer. "It`s an absolute honour for any professional cricketer to play in a World Cup," Misbah told a website. "It`s the unquestionable pinnacle for any cricketer and I can`t wait for the tournament to start." Misbah is seen as one of the main rival to lead the national team in the World Cup starting from February 19 although flamboyant allrounder Shahid Afridi remains the one-day captain and is leading them in the ongoing rubber in New Zealand. The right-hand batsman said that he was fully prepared and ready to take part in the World Cup. "The rest is up to the team management. If they feel that I have a role in the side and they think that I can contribute, then I will certainly not let anyone down," Misbah said. "It`s always been my heartfelt wish to play in a 50 over World Cup and I am certain that I can perform well during the upcoming tournament," he added. Pakistan are placed in Group A alongside Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Canada and start their campaign against Kenya on 23rd February in Hambantota. Ironically, Misbah lost his place in the national one-day side last year for the last three one-day internationals against South Africa in the UAE because of poor form the same question now being raised about Shahid Afridi. But the senior batsman`s Test form in recent series has been superb and he has scored half centuries in all of his last six innings and he backed that up with a 50 in a low scoring first one-day international at Wellington as well when Pakistan was bowled out for just 124 runs. Meanwhile former Pakistan captain and ex-chief selector, Aamir Sohail believes that Misbah will be a strong candidate for the World Cup captaincy if Afridi fails to perform and lead the team to victory in the ongoing ODI series in New Zealand. "Afridi has to shape up as a player and leader because Misbah is breathing down his neck and there is a realistic chance that if Afridi does not lead the team to victory in New Zealand, he could lose the captaincy," Sohail said. "If Afridi fails to handle the pressure like a true leader then Misbah will become a strong candidate for the World Cup captaincy," Sohail said.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - On Wednesday, the Israeli Cabinet announced it will distribute refurbished gas masks to residents of Israel in early 2009.
The decision comes after months of wavering over whether to redistribute kits providing protection from biological and chemical weapons.
The Defense Ministry retracted an earlier decision in view of threats of a chemical attack from Syria and Iran.
Member of Knesset (MK) Yuval Steinitz (Likud), former chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, criticized the plan's vagaries.
"The Cabinet's decision to upgrade the kits without clearly setting any deadlines is a farce that repeats all the mistakes made in the neglect of the home front during the Second Lebanon War. I can already see the committee of inquiry into the next war, and it will be far worse than Winograd [the commission investigating the Second Lebanon War]," Steinitz said, adding that upgraded kits should be distributed to army reservists so they ready in the event of a call-up.
The Home Front Command is slated to hold the largest-ever nationwide emergency drill next week.
