Enbridge protest: Clear out, court tells protesters
Protestors have been given until midmorning Tuesday to vacate Enbridge's Flamborough pumping station.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Opponents of oilsands pipelines held rallies across Ontario as protesters barricaded themselves on the site of an Enbridge pumping station in Flamborough Tuesday.
But federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said it's crucial for Canada to expand the reach of its oil pipeline network to serve new markets.
According to the protesters' website, a barricade was constructed at the back of the site. As of Tuesday afternoon, three people were inside, while a woman with her face covered by a handkerchief sat on top of the structure. She appeared to be chained by the neck to a fence.
Enbridge, which has allowed the protesters to stay on the property for the last six days, already has permission to reverse the flow in Line 9 from Sarnia to Westover, but its application to complete the project all the way to Montreal will be considered in a National Energy Board hearing this summer. Line 9 runs from Sarnia to Montreal, passing through Toronto near Finch Ave.
About 35 people gathered in front of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto Tuesday afternoon in a show of solidarity with the protesters in Flamborough.
The Toronto protest was part of a larger day of action in 10 Ontario cities, as well as in Edmonton and Vancouver.
Organizers urged the people in the Toronto crowd, holding signs that read "No tarsands" and "When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty," to travel to the Flamborough site and show their support.
At a Toronto news conference, Oliver sketched out the high stakes he sees in battles to extend Canada's oil pipelines.
"What we're talking about is the need to diversify our markets and as I've said we have a short-, intermediate- and long-term problem," Oliver said.
"The short term problem is the very large discount that our oil sells for in the U.S., costing the Canadian economy over $14 billion a year," he said.
Much of western Canada's oil flows south to the mammoth oil terminal at Cushing, Oklahoma, where prices are depressed by big flows from U.S. oilfields.
"In the intermediate term, we're going to be running out of pipeline capacity, certainly before the end of this decade," Oliver continued.
"And in the longer term, of course, we have one customer for our oil and gas essentially — and that customer has found vast amounts of shale gas and oil, and will not be needing Canadian resources."
That means Canada has to get its oil to seaports where it can be shipped to markets where both demand and prices are higher, he said.
The protesters in Flamborough were given until mid-morning Tuesday to vacate after a court injunction was served on them just after 8 a.m.
"Some of us will leave the site to continue demonstrating across the street, while others have decided it's necessary to lock themselves down to remain on the site as long as possible," said spokeswoman Elysia Petrone in a press release.
The occupation of the protesters has halted the construction of their reversal on Line 9, said Graham White, business communications manager with Enbridge.

Comments about Charlie's Soap Kitchen & Bath Household Cleaner, 32 fl oz:
This is my primary bathroom cleaner. Spray on, wait 30-60 seconds, cleans with little effort. Doesn't leave odors or cause asthma as most all advertised cleaners do for my daughter and I. Recommend anyone with chemical sensitivities to try this product and the laundry soap, Charlie's Soap.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

contains a toxic ingredient!
By Rusty22
from AZ
This cleaner smells very strong, like Windex, and I choke & cough whenever I use it. I had a hard time believing that the ingredient list was accurate or completely truthful, so I did some research. Their active ingredientis actually butylcelosolv, which is Czech for 2-Butoxyethanol acetate, also known as Butyl Cellosolve. According to the Skin Deep Database, which rates it a 6 (moderate hazard), butoxyethanol has ties to cancer, reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and more. It's used in hundreds of cleaning products, even as an oil spill dispersant, and "provides cleaning power and the characteristic odor of Windex and other glass cleaners. It is the main ingredient of many home, commercial and industrial cleaning solutions." I feel very mislead and would not buy this again. Horrible!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best cleaner ever.
By Jan
from NY
All the Charlie's Soap cleaners work wonderfully. Better than anything else I have tried. Tough dirt(like stove) spray on, let sit, wipe off. If really bad, might need to do it twice. I can't recommend highly enough. Try it.
Apply Kitchen & Bath directly on surface to be cleaned. Allow a bit of time to safely break the bonds between the soil and the surface. Charlie's Soap was made to gently remove dirt, not blast it off. Wipe down with a dry or damp cloth. Repeat if necessary.

I started my week off right yesterday.
Juice: carrots, celery, kale, garlic, lemon, ginger, apples; Souped-Up Ginger Tea; Smoothie: almond milk, coconut water, uncooked rolled oats, frozen cherries and frozen banana
I sipped on beverages throughout the morning while working and then escaped for a lunch-time yoga class. Ravenous when I returned home, I whipped up this salad.
Romaine lettuce, sauerkraut, green pepper, sun dried tomatoes, chopped brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds and a (store-bought) olive oil and mango dressing. Topped off with a dash of Herbamere and fresh ground black pepper.
As I was slicing and dicing I decided to make a really quick soup to eat for dinner later. I opened the spice drawer and I was immediately drawn to the smell of cumin and cinnamon and grabbed both jars. These two spices happen to be ingredients commonly used in garam masala; I really went for it and grabbed a jar of garam masala, too. Go big or go home, right?
I think you will love the simplicity of the preparation and the robustness of the flavor. Enjoy!

|Kevin Garnett gets his revenge on Andrea Bargnani
|11.27.10 at 1:01 am ET
Call it a lack of respect from certain members of the Raptors, an overwhelming desire to make good on a sub-par performance five days earlier or a kick in the butt from his head coach, Kevin Garnett was a man on a mission Friday night.
After Andrea Bargnani dropped 29 points on the Celtics last Sunday in a 102-101 come-from-behind Raptors win in Toronto, Celtics coach Doc Rivers pulled Garnett aside and essentially told him that can't happen again. Garnett responded by scoring a season-high 26 points while holding Bargnani to 11 in Garnett's best two-way game of the season as the Celtics prevailed, 110-101, Friday nigh at TD Garden.
"Doc has different ways of motivating me," Garnett said. "He pulled me to the side, he wasn't really happy with Bargnani situation up there and I wasn't really pleased with that, either. And tonight was more of a concentrated effort to just make sure I kept him under control. It doesn't take much to motivate me."
Rivers was far more subtle in his post-game comments but hinted that he saw the KG everyone expected on Friday night.
"Kevin's energy tonight was off the charts, and you knew it would be, if you know Kevin," Rivers said. "Because the last time we played them, the guy in his position had a pretty good game, and that's just Kevin Garnett.'
Then there were the words of Shaquille O'Neal, who hinted that Raptors forward Amir Johnson was talking trash and directing it at KG on the court. Pretty dumb idea, if true.
Garnett said he was inspired by his own fire and Rivers' words of inspiration.
"It was 50-50 a little bit," Garnett added. "I didn't get much sleep [Thursday] night. That's what it is. I'm going to see Bargnani as long as I'm in the league but I guess the way Doc came at me was the way he wanted it. That's what he wanted. I likes to see me a little of the chain at times and I don't mind being like that."
|Rajon Rondo out again, Nate Robinson gets 3rd start
|11.24.10 at 7:38 pm ET
The Celtics are taking every precaution with the left hamstring of Rajon Rondo and have ruled him out of tonight's game against New Jersey at TD Garden. He likely will miss Friday's contest against Toronto as well, coach Doc Rivers said before Wednesday's game.
'I don't think it's a bad hamstring, but you just have to be careful with it,' said Rivers, who added Rondo is "iffy" against the Raptors on Friday night.
Nate Robinson makes his third straight start in Rondo's absence.
Rivers said Rondo, who will miss his third straight game, was leading the NBA in assists, dishing out 14.3 per game. The Celtics are 1-1 in the two games without him, losing at Toronto on Sunday before a big win on Monday in Atlanta.
|The NBA 30 on 30: Blogosphere Forecast (6 of 7)
|10.26.10 at 1:14 pm ET
NBA fans live a team's ups and downs. They react to every draft pick, trade and free-agent signing. They debate the merits of the 15th man. They find significance in the most insignificant stats. They simply KNOW their team. So, too, do bloggers. That's why we sought the opinion of the league's best blogs — one for each of the 30 teams — to break down the team they cover and, of course, the Celtics.
We'll move to the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division (sans the C's) with the sixth of a seven-part series (Don't forget to check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5) …
by Mark Ginocchio, Nets Are Scorching
ON THE NETS: I think the Nets are going to surprise some people this year and be a lot better than last year.
Not Oklahoma City Thunder good, but maybe eighth seed in the East good, which could still be below .500.
I think Brook Lopez is going to go a long way in establishing himself as an All-Star, and while I'm advocating being patient with Derrick Favors, I see him being used to lure a superstar over to New Jersey this season (Carmelo Anthony?).
ON THE CELTICS: The Celtics are clearly the class of the Atlantic Division this season, and they're once again one of the favorites to be representing the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.
With their age, I can see them hitting some ruts during the regular season, and of course all of their core guys have to be healthy for the playoff run, but the Celtics are one of the few teams out there that I think are capable of defensively shutting down Superfriends in Miami.
With that in mind, I'll be rooting for them if/when their paths cross.
by Tommy Dee, The Knicks Blog
ON THE KNICKS: The Knicks will be improved, assuming Amar'e Stoudemire stays healthy.
They need the trio of Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chander and Anthony Randolph to make strides on both sides of the ball to get the most out of Mike D'Antoni's transition offense quarterbacked by Raymond Felton.
Of course, the Carmelo Anthony situation will continue to loom, and this is a pressure-packed season for the coach, seeing that his system has taken a tremendous hit with fans over the last two years.
They still have roster flexibility, and I expect them to land Anthony, but in the meantime they have to consistently win free-throw attempt battles and out-rebound their opponents. Those are two constants for playoff teams.
If they do that — and knock down their open jumpers — they'll be a playoff team. If they don't, it could be another lost season in the Big Apple.
ON THE CELTICS: I actually love what the Celtics did this offseason. To this day, I think they beat the Lakers if Kendrick Perkins doesn't get hurt.
But they've loaded up the front line with size, and age, with both Shaquille and Jermaine O'Neal, which is key because of the status of Perkins' health — and it makes them deeper up front against the likes of Miami and Orlando.
The Celts owned the Magic last postseason because they chose to guard Dwight Howard 1-on-1 in the post, and it proved effective as he couldn't kick out to open shooters. Perhaps more importantly, with the Big 3 in Miami, I believe the Heat are vulnerable up front. That's the way to attack them.
If Rajon Rondo continues off his impressive playoff performance and the Celtics maintain health, then they should be right there in the end once again.
Off the floor, I love the addition of Lawrence Frank, one of the most prepared minds in the game today.
by Brian Ward, Depressed Fan
ON THE 76ERS: The Sixers had an up-and-down summer. New general manager Rod Thorn and head coach Doug Collins are both clear upgrades.
Sending Willie Green and Jason Smith out of town was a case of addition by subtraction.
Evan Turner is taking his lumps right now, but while he may not be scoring as much as we'd hoped, he's producing in other areas and contributing while figuring out the difference between the Big Ten and the NBA.
I'd be feeling much better about the Sixers' prospects if it wasn't for the Samuel Dalembert trade. Ed Stefanski pulled the trigger on a deal that basically gutted the Sixers interior defense and defensive rebounding without a thought to who would fill that void.
To make matters worse, he took back the second year on Andres Nocioni's contract in the deal, which submarined the Sixers' cap space for next summer. It was a horrible trade from every angle.
If the Dalembert trade hadn't been made, I'd feel pretty confident in predicting a 10-15 game turnaround for this team and probably a trip to the playoffs in Colllins' first season at the helm.
As things stand, however, the Sixers' talented perimeter players won't be able to cover for their feeble stable of bigs, and it's a stretch to think they'll win 35 games. If I had to make a prediction today, I'd say 30-52.
ON THE CELTICS: From the outside, looking in, the Celtics don't look as strong as they did last season.
Their core is a year older, and the addition of Shaq is going to open some major holes in their defense.
That being said, they have a cakewalk through the Atlantic, and they'll probably finish somewhere between the No. 2 and 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, depending on health.
If Kendrick Perkins comes back healthy in time for the playoffs, they could make a return trip to the Finals, but I think that's a bit of a long shot.
by Zarar Siddiqi, Raptors Republic
ON THE RAPTORS: 26 wins.
The Raptors aren't as bad as ESPN is making them out to be. They could be on par or better than teams like Philadelphia, Indiana, New Jersey, Detroit, Washington and New York, so there will be wins to be had.
The defensive effort has been solid in training camp, and if the Raptors can get consistent offensive production out of Andrea Bargnani and the Italian improves his defensive awareness, they have enough players who can play and carry the load.
Jarrett Jack, Linas Kleiza and Leandro Barbosa can complement the youth of DeMar DeRozan, Ed Davis and Amir Johnson, but the question will be whether the Raptors can rely on their defense to keep them in games when their star-starved offense goes into a funk.
Last year, they were dead last in defensive rating. If they can become a middle-of-the-pack team, it could be a decent rebuilding year, but I don't see the playoffs on the horizon.
ON THE CELTICS: The health of the two O'Neals and Kevin Garnett will dictate how the Celtics will fare.
The Raptors saw first-hand how volatile things can be with Jermaine O'Neal if he's injured, and if you have to rely on Shaq giving you cover at center, then the Celtics could be in trouble in the postseason, much like they were when Perkins went down in the Finals.
From what I've seen of Rajon Rondo, he looks to have improved his outside game to the point where he can make a sagging defense pay.
With Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen all good mid-range shooters and passers, it will make the Celtics hard to stop, and we know the defense will be there.
Barring injury, I'd pick the Celtics to win 57 games but lose to the Bulls in the postseason (yes, I think the Bulls will be good) as Tom Thibodeau comes back to haunt you.
If injuries hit early, there will be a firesale.
Stay tuned for the final portion of this seven-part series: the Boston Celtics.

|Injuries could impact Eastern Conference standings
|04.07.10 at 12:47 am ET
Andrew Bogut's gruesome arm injury was the first of many to hit the Eastern Conference over the last few days. Joe Johnson will miss at least two games with a sprained thumb and Chris Bosh's status is unclear after suffering a facial fracture on Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
With just over a week left in the regular season, these injuries could impact playoff seedings, including that of the Celtics.
Aside from the Washington Wizards, whom the C's will play on Friday, their remaining competitors are vying for postseason positions. Johnson's injury opens the window of opportunity for the Celtics to close in on the third seed (currently held by the Hawks), but their opponents will be trying to secure their own place in the playoffs as well.
Toronto Raptors (currently 8th)
Wednesday, April 7 @ Toronto
The Raptors were dealt a devastating blow on Tuesday when Bosh suffered an unintentional elbow to the face from Antawn Jamison. According to reports, Bosh will remain in Cleveland overnight. His status is unknown.
Milwaukee Bucks (currently 5th)
Saturday, April 10 @ Milwaukee
Wednesday, April 14 @ Boston
The Bucks posed problems for the Celtics when healthy, and now this team is on a mission without Bogut. The young squad still has plenty of weapons and will challenge the Celtics even if they don't have their big man in the middle.
Chicago Bulls (currently one game out of 8th)
Tuesday, April 13 @ Chicago
If there is any team with something to play for right now, it is the Bulls. They were already edging toward the eighth spot. Now the injury of Bosh has created an opportunity for them to grab it if they can win enough games down the stretch.
|O'Bryant wasn't ready
|02.20.09 at 3:12 pm ET
It turns out Patrick O'Bryant wasn't ready to play. Not for the Boston Celtics, at least.
'I feel like I'm pretty ready,' he said prior to the All-Star Break. 'I never feel like I'm not ready, I don't want to get down on myself. But I feel like I'm ready. In Doc's eyes I might not be, so I've just got to take his advice and keep pushing forward.'
The Celtics echoed head coach Doc Rivers' opinion when they traded O'Bryant to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday as part of a three-team deal with the Sacramento Kings.
In spite of being a big man on a team in need of length, O'Bryant averaged just 4.2 minutes in 26 games this season (less playing time than everyone on the Celtics except for Sam Cassell and J.R. Giddens). Last summer an informed source questioned if O'Bryant would be able to shake his two-guard mentality in a seven-foot frame. His defensive abilities continued to be a cause for concern.
'He's been stressing Celtics D,' O'Bryant said of Rivers. 'It's different than any other team's expectations. They're a championship team and you've got to be able to play at a championship level.'
O'Bryant was looking forward to growing as a shot blocker and rebounder in the second half of the season. He was eager to back up Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins off the bench. Now he can try to do the same for Chris Bosh.
|Eastern Conference trades begin
|02.13.09 at 1:44 pm ET
ESPN the Magazine's Ric Bucher has reported the Miami Heat have agreed to trade Shawn Marion and former Boston Celtic Marcus Banks to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Jermaine O'Neal and Jamario Moon. According to Bucher, the deal is pending league approval and would be announced Friday afternoon if it goes through.
So what could this mean for the Celtics?
This move could get the Raptors back to the playoffs, potentially as a first round match up for the Celtics. Even though they have the second worst record in the East (21-34), they are only five games out of the eighth spot. The problem was O'Neal could not figure out how to play a secondary role to Chris Bosh (as he told WEEI.com in November). Rather than clogging the post, Marion can spread the floor with his outside shot. This balances the Raptors lineup, one that certainly has the potential to make a push in the East.
The Heat (28-24) currently hold the fifth spot in the East. The addition of O'Neal gives them the big body they have been missing since Shaq left and a reliable option for Dwyane Wade to find down low. Suddently the Heat have a solid 1-2 punch.
The Celtics swept the Raptors 4-0 this season. They are 1-0 against the Heat and will face them next on March 11 in Miami.

Officer says video of snowmobilers' moose meeting shows what not to do
This image taken from video shows a moose charging Bob Powell of Belmont. (Janis Powell via wcsh6.com)
Janis and Bob Powell of Belmont on Friday posted a two-minute YouTube video of the scary incident, which happened while they were riding snowmobiles in Jackman, Maine. By early Saturday evening, the video had gotten more than 5,200 views.
Watch the video for yourself:
Juneau said encountering moose on snowmobile trails in wilderness areas is common. But he said riders need to respect the size and speed of these animals and keep their distance.
Juneau said the riders were lucky to have escaped unharmed; there were no trees nearby that could have served as barriers to a charging moose.
"These animals, they look large, they look clumsy, but they are amazingly fast," he said. "And those legs are extremely heavy and extremely powerful. It wouldn't take much of a blow to really cause injury to a human."
"It had come out onto the trail, and we followed it a ways expecting it to get off the trail any time, which normally happens when we come across them."
"What happens is that they stop and look at us, so we go, then they go, and it repeats, sometimes for miles on end," they wrote. "Believe me, we'll be keeping much more distance in the future."
If a rider becomes aware of an animal on a trail, Juneau said, "try and slowly retreat, possibly raising your arms in the air to make yourself appear bigger. Just try to seek cover and remove yourself."

Privacy is a thing of past, the government thinks
Privacy doesn't mean anonymity. Think about that for a bit - and get used to it.
Or if you don't like it, get a plan. But it had better be a good one.
On Oct. 23, Donald Kerr, deputy director of the Office of National Intelligence, outlined the new order of things: "Too often, privacy has been equated with anonymity; and it's an idea that is deeply rooted in American culture." Well, yes, the Bill of Rights, for instance, includes protections against search as well as seizure. But that was then. As Kerr put it, "In our interconnected and wireless world, anonymity - or the appearance of anonymity - is quickly becoming a thing of the past."
Kerr's speech got little notice until The Drudge Report highlighted an Associated Press write-up. No doubt, of course, the Office of National Intelligence will soon issue a soothing statement assuring us that the government indeed respects your privacy and your anonymity. And we've all heard that line before: "Nothing to see here, folks, just move along." Then Uncle Sam will resume perfecting his warrantless surveillance.
In fact, the old equation - privacy equals anonymity - is being buzz-sawed six ways.
First and most obviously, terrorism concerns. If you're walking through Times Square carrying a backpack and acting strangely, inquiring minds will want to know why. And Godspeed to cops brave enough to tap that shoulder.
Second, and closely related, the proliferation of cameras and Webcams. Nobody likes to be spied on, but many people - including parents keeping tabs on baby sitters - like to spy. In the coming face-off, the spies have it.
Third, health insurance. We have decided, collectively, to be generous with each other in terms of "human services." But although most Americans are happy to operate a welfare state for Americans, they draw the line at subsidizing the world. So as a matter of administrative necessity, the Nurse State will have to know exactly who you are - and your legal status.
Fourth, the reality that medical treatment now depends on medical information. If doctors are to help you, they need to know your medical history - not just blood type and allergies but everything about you, including your genetic background. Such monitoring is fraught with controversy - recent headline in The New York Times: "In DNA Era, New Worries About Prejudice" - but this is the era of the instant Q-Tip identity test.
Fifth, Google and the basic nature of the Information Age. Once upon a time, people cared about bushels of wheat. Then it was tons of pig iron. Now it's bits and bytes. If you ever wondered why the Googlers can give you search engines - and Gmail and everything else - for free, it's not because they are necessarily nice guys. In fact, they've built a $200 billion company by studying you closely.
And the database beat goes on: On Monday, Network World reported that IBM is buying Cognos for $5 billion. Never heard of Cognos? Well, that's OK; the worldwide "business intelligence software vendor" based in Canada most likely has heard of you.
Sixth, the realization that the planet is getting smaller. If we can agree that pollution is a serious concern, it follows that ore-smelting in China, or deforestation in Brazil, is a threat to everyone everywhere. Down the road of those concerns lies a massive global government, which will want to know if you're smoking too many cigarettes.
So what to do? Go off the grid? Become a hermit? That's one way, although the eye in the sky, of course, will always be looking down from its orbit. But surely there are other ways to escape - virtual reality, digging deep underground, traveling to space. People are going to try them all, and a huge privacy-protection industry is destined to emerge.
But then, of course, everyone else will be curious as to what's being hidden, and why.

Two Milwaukee men received multiple citations after an alert patrol officer foiled a theft attempt at a Franklin auto lot Sept. 26.
According to the Franklin police report:
A patrol officer executing a business check saw a person attempting to steal a catalytic converter off a vehicle inside the closed auto lot at Ewald, 6319 S. 108th St., about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 26. The 27-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested and cited for possession of burglary tools, attempted theft, prowling and criminal trespass to land.
A 30-year-old Milwaukee man who was walking in the area of the dealership at the time of the incident was questioned by police, who later linked him to the attempted theft. He was taken into custody in the 11100 block of West Forest Home Avenue and was cited for possession of burglary tools, attempted theft, bail-jumping, prowling, possession of marijuana and criminal trespass to land.
Both men were taken to the Milwaukee County Correctional Facility.

Guest Blog: "THE ABCs OF DEATH 2″ Director Alejandro Brugues on "ALIEN"
As a burgeoning series of films, THE ABCs OF DEATH anthologies are predicated on, well death. The wait for it. The horror of it. The humor in it. It's inevitable, and even in just three or so minutes, the build can be massive. These experimental, sometimes exhausting omnibuses see a massive ensemble of international filmmakers try their hands at the short format and visceral release of onscreen demise. But what put them on this path? What shocking, horrifying, hilarious, titillating filmic expirations influenced them? The directors of THE ABCs OF DEATH 2 are contributing guest blogs on their favorite cinematic deaths to all manner of movie sites. Here at Fango, JUAN OF THE DEAD helmer Alejandro Brugués writes of his.Read more »

Written by WestHouse Securities
Michael Infante, Chairman and CEO of One Media plc came in to tell us more about the company he founded in 2005. One Media acquires and exploits intellectual property rights, repackaging content from years gone by, using its proprietary software, so that it is 'digitally ready'. One Media has a catalogue of performance rights over 200,000 music tracks generally from the 1950s-1990s, and 8,000 videos. This content is delivered to over 600 web-based music and video stores (such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and YouTube). Michael pointed out that the industry is now in the midst of another shift away from digital downloads towards streaming. The speed and ultimate effect of this transition are still in question and this has caused forecasts for 2015 and 2016 to be moderated at the time of the Company's final results last week. With streaming there is no fixed price, but a minimum subscription fee. This impacts habits – for instance consumers tend to be more experimental with music choices. The effect on the type of content One Media owns is as yet unknown. To date it has been a case of an 80:20 rule, where 20% of content works hard and generates 80% of One Media's income. Unlike other providers that cater to 'hit' music audiences, no one track/artist does more than 1% of One Media's turnover. Outside of this core business, one Media has two other business areas: (1) 'Sync' a new part of the business that sweats the long tail of assets, by making them search-able and purchase-able for films etc. (2) an expanding video library (which currently consists of 8,000 programmes; there are more opportunities with tv/film content versus music to be 'sliced and diced' in different ways, such as creating short clips concentrating on certain scenes or themes…these are leveraged and monitised across YouTube.
The likes of YouTube and Spotify take a large chunk for the use of their platforms. However there seem to be plans afoot, albeit very early stage, for One Media to create an owned, more B2C offering as it is exploring technology options. Nearer term, we would expect more content acquisition in particular in the area of tv/film (which is only 5% of the current business). The Company has been finding that – similar to what was seen with audio content – tv/film content as it ages is becoming more available for acquisition. Given he owns c.35% Michael stressed that he is only interested in deals that he considers good value, and outlined a number of transaction structures that are persuasive for current owners. The next 12-18 months will be a very interesting time for the Company and though organic growth expectations have been moderated, further content acquisitions alongside the build-out of technology to enable more B2C (such as apps) could add to growth potential.

The Space
Located in a brand new apartment building, the room itself is spacious enough to comfortably fit two. Includes:
- Comfy queen bed
- Work desk
- Your own mini-fridge & kettle
- A walk-in closet with plenty of hangers
- What we love about it is the privacy - the apartment is on a pretty high level, so there's zero street noise, and your window looks out onto a small patch of green.
- Really great, abundant natural light.
The full bathroom is 100% yours to use and private.
- Shower/tub
- Comes with shampoo/soap in case you don't want to bring your own
- Hairdryer, towels and essentials like toothpaste. Basically, this place can be your home away from home!
Guest Access
The rest of the apartment:
- Cable TV, 32" Hitachi HD TV
- High-speed WIFI
- Fully equipped kitchen. Heavy cooking not recommended though, as the ventilation isn't the best (so we try to avoid heavy frying or the like ourselves).
- Feel free to use the microwave, electric kettle, oven, cutlery, dishes, dishwasher etc.
- Have your meals at our dining table that seats four
- Washer/dryer with detergent included
- Steam iron
- Lounge on our couch! (It's our favorite piece of furniture.)
The apartment building
- Is brand new (~1 year old), and we love it.
- The lounge, pool and gym on the club level are awesome and fully accessible
- Free WIFI in the lounge and lobby areas.
- The lounge especially is great for doing work, or just hanging out with the huge TV/fireplace/pool table and the nice view of the neighborhood.
- Pool is about 3ft3 and is just great to splash around in, plus plenty of deck chairs to sun bathe on during the summer
- There's free Starbucks coffee & tea in the lobby till noon (and a Starbucks right outside building, in fact!)
Interaction with Guests
We're a young professional married couple, expats from Singapore. Have lived in DC for about three years now. We're pretty chill. If you love your privacy and would just like to keep to yourself, we'd be more than happy to leave you alone. :) But if you want to have someone to hang out with some evenings, we're game too. Cecil, my husband works in a office, but I sometimes work from home as a freelancer. So if you're home in the day you might see me hanging around. We're both likely to be around in the evenings watching TV or hanging out in our room, but we're definitely pretty low-key.
The Neighborhood
There's a supermarket (Safeway) and CVS just across the street, with other restaurants close by offering a range of options. Vietnamese pho, Chipotle, Ben's Chill Bowl, Ray's The Third (formerly Ray's Hell Burger), Tom Yum District, Roti mediterranean grill, sandwich shops, food trucks…you name it. It's a really convenient and accessible place to live, with plentiful and affordable food options (very important!).
Getting around
The Rosslyn metro station is just 3 blocks away, a 3 minute walk.The bus stop to Georgetown, DuPont Circle etc. is another 5 minute walk away too.
- 5 - 10 minutes metro ride away from all major DC attractions (Smithsonian, National Mall, White House…)
Other Things to Note
We've prepared plenty of handy guides, maps, takeout menus etc. so you'll be able to get plugged in quickly and find your way around! Also, I am just a knock on the door/text/email/call away in case you need anything during your stay.
About the security deposit: The fee is mainly for the door key and elevator fob - they are electronically coded and cost $150 :)
Check in/out timings - We may be able to accommodate your schedule, please let us know in your request.
We're looking for responsible individuals or couples who are looking for a peaceful, pleasant stay.
- We're shoes-off types, so please remove them when you're in the apartment or in your room.
- Please be respectful and clean. No large parties or smoking please!
I had a really lovely time at Kerrie's place. Kerrie unfortunately was out of town for most of the two weeks I was there, but her husband Cecil took great care of me. The room and apartment are in great shape, the bed was very comfortable and the location is incredibly convenient. I highly recommend this listing.
Kerrie and Cecil were extremely considerate and welcoming hosts, putting a lot of thought and effort into making me feel at home.
The listing (and previous reviews) were accurate, and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay!
Kerrie and Cecil were very welcoming and I highly recommend staying with them. Whether it was making last minute changes to my reservations or meeting me at midnight because of a late flight, they were always accommodating. Kerri was quick to respond to any messages or questions and was a great host.
The room was clean, spacious and quiet, and had a walk-in closet!
Kerrie was pleasant and a good host. She met me in the lobby and provided me with a key and fob so I could come and go without bothering her. It was quiet and the room met my expectations.
Kerrie and Cecil were great hosts. Kerrie welcomed me and gave me a tour of the place which is a very nice unit in a modern high rise apartment building. I enjoyed meeting and conversing with both of my hosts who are professionals with an interesting history.
My room was spacious with a comfortable bed, drawers and a closet for my belongings and a desk and plenty of outlets for my gadgets. There was a dedicated bathroom for my use.
The location is great with lots of restaurants (Heavy Seas Ale House was 400' away ;-) access to the metro. I also enjoyed running on Roosevelt Island and along the Potomac River both of which were 5 minutes away. Kerrie created a very thorough Guide to finding places in the area. I highly recommend this host to anyone who is entertaining a stay in the Rosslyn Arlington area.
Kerrie and Cecil were very welcoming. The place was very nice and was close to everything that we wanted to see. We would definitely stay with them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Kerrie and Cecil were so kind and accommodating, and always made sure I had whatever I needed. The apartment and building is beautiful; the bedroom and bathroom are large, clean, and fully stocked with towels, linens, and toiletries. I did some light cooking in the kitchen and a few rounds of laundry with no trouble, and really enjoyed using the gym on the top floor. The location is super convenient to the Rosslyn metro, good restaurants (both fast-food and sit-down) and supermarket/drugstores. I would definitely come back if I need to stay in the DC area again!
Is anyone else stumped when you're asked to describe yourself in a paragraph? Anyway, here goes: I love to travel, love art & design & great style. On the quieter side - not immediately chatty but can talk up a storm once you get to know me better. To me, nothing's better than good food & a good book, preferably simultaneously.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This Reno Parkside Rental is a very unique, carefully thought after property.
'artsy hippie house'. Private home in quiet neighborhood.
Brand new A/C installed! A Master, and Junior suite, each with private eclectic bathroom.
This home offers the perfect retreat accommodations for 4 adults. There is also a twin-size pullout sofa sleeper. Quality linens, fenced back yard, large backyard patio, outdoor propane grill, full privilege well equipped kitchen,including many pantry staples and spices, laundry facilities, large dining table, secure wireless wi-fi access, DTV with Showtime in each room. There is also a iphone docking station.
This home has a wonderful open floor plan, great for a small gathering. The house is a split-level, with no more than two steps going to the den area, also steps from the master suite into the bathroom.
The lovely outdoor patio make summertime especially ideal to increase your useable space.
Centrally located, three blocks west of downtown Reno. In town for business, perfect! Ideal for all the special events. Just across the street from Reno's oldest park, the Truckee River flowing thru. Joggers, bikers abound. The Kayak Whitewater Park and river rafting are summer time favorites for cooling off.
Location is just three blocks west of down town art district, as well as casinos and many restaurants. Direct I-80 freeway access, 50 minutes to Tahoe City, or take a scenic 50 minutes on 395 S. up Mt Rose to Incline Village. Outdoors is wide open for adventure and enjoyment. Reno night life awaits! Tons of restaurants, casino showroom entertainment. So many great events .
As a native Nevadan I treasure my home and this beautiful area. It is so near all of the Reno activities that I love to participate in! I have lived in this home for 20 years, until a recent love interest has taken me to a new adventure. I have done all the 'remodel' work myself. My home is perfect and ready for guests to enjoy! I have really been lucky, with the best people, it has been a pleasure so far.
Alyce Etxebarria purchased this house in 1990
When I was a kid running around Reno, I remember saying that one day I would love to live in this neighborhood! This home is absolutely the perfect Reno location for work or play. The house is a short few blocks from downtown Reno. You could arrange a whole life within biking distance! Across the street from Renos oldest park, Idlewild Park and the Truckee River. Amazing thing is you can still go to one of the many little riverside beaches and be the only one there! Freeway I-80 westbound to Tahoe is minutes from the door. All this, and yet the house is in a very secluded old S.W. area of town. Traffic does not 'just wind up here'. You must wiggle your way in!! Excellent!!
The location is really unique. Reno's Downtown/Midtown area is just blocks from the quiet seclusion of the old neighborhood. Take the retro-cruisers out to explore. You will surely find something special.
My friends and I traveled to Reno for the Tour de Nez and had the pleasure of renting and staying in Alyce's parkside retreat. Alyce was wonderful; she was flexible with our arrival and departure times, and even left us a pitcher of sun tea on the back patio to enjoy! The house was perfect for two couples with king size beds, plenty of privacy and full of ecclectic charm. It is a beautiful peaceful space right on the Truckee River and just a short 15 minute walk to central Reno. It's perfect for your summer or winter trip to the Reno/Tahoe area!
We loved staying at this house! Very warm and welcoming. Great if you have a dog too. Nice big backyard and a 2 minute walk to the river, and a great walk along the river and park. Less than 10 mins to the casinos. Loved the decor of the house too. We had fun admiring all the little touches she made to make the house so unique. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the Reno area. We would rent it again.
Home owner was very inviting, had a gift basket waiting for us on arrival and tour of the property. Home is in a very quite neighborhood and great location close to the shops on the river walk. Overall great place to stay and would recommend to anyone who is on the fence about this house.
Loved the quiet retreat in a great location in Reno! The owner Alyce was wonderful in making sure our stay was perfect! She met us at the house and even made sure the bikes at the house were ready to go! Perfect location by the River and made you feel like you were a local! Great amenities to include the use of her computer and direct tv! :) Thank You! Only draw back might be in the summer on hot nights as you will have to use a fan to keep you cool, But if you are enjoying Reno you wont be home much!!!
We have stayed at Alyce's house twice - once in December and again in July and it's like staying in the middle of an ongoing art project. We enjoyed the cozy, crafty atmosphere both times and really appreciated being able to include our little dog.
Our stay in December was without complaint. We entertained friends and family over a lovely dinner and a few cocktails :-) Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the visit which included a tour of the quirky, fun interior.
Our stay in July however, was disappointing. We were surprised to realize that the house has no air conditioning! It was 95 degrees outside and there wasn't an HVAC system, a swamp cooler nor a portable room A/C. All we had were two very loud room fans. The evenings and mornings in Reno are very pleasant so we stayed at Alyces place from late evening thorough mid morning but made sure to stay busy elsewhere at other times of the day.
When questioned, Alyce referred me to the amenities portion of the HomeAway listing which did not list A/C and suggested that we bar-b-q or go to the park to "frolic." True enough but the house is also described as "luxury." And it just didn't occur to us that a house like that wouldn't have A/C in a climate where temps rise above 80 degrees.
Bottom line? This is a great place to stay in Winter or early Spring when it's cool but I wouldn't recommend it for a stay during the Summer.
Staying here is like staying in the middle of a big art project!
We have stayed here twice now. The first time was in December and we had a lovely time. I cooked meals in and had family & friends over for visits.
The second time was in late July and it was still a lovely stay with one BIG exception... It was extremely hot.
This home, while described as "luxury" has no air conditioning so when temps reached 95, the inside of the house was too hot & stuffy to be even slightly enjoyable. Our mornings & evenings were spent in the back yard while the middle of the day was spent with family at their house. Not exactly what we had planned.
In all fairness, we were provided with two floor fans but they didn't cut it.
Beware of what amenities ARE NOT listed on the HomeAway site.
I would recommend for a winter stay only.
We really enjoyed our long term stay here. The interior of the house has been lovingly created by Alyce, the owner, and provided a tranquil retreat . The location is on very quiet street, one block from the riverside park and close to great coffee shops, restaurants, and wine bars.
The house was immaculate and well appointed.
It is close to the interstate, making it easy to quickly head in any direction. Alyce was an attentive and responsive host.
Reno has a calendar of events that goes year round! This fall has jumped in with significant SNOWFALL! Tahoe got 12 inches this past week, 10-12!! Summer time is packed with street fairs, weekly free music events, ArtTown, Hot August Nights, Great Reno Ballon Races, Air Races, Camel Races, Street Vibrations!!! The music scene in Reno is fantastic! Top names at prices you won't believe, and venues that are 15 minutes max drive time, assigned setting...!!!

This new footage for Mighty No. 9 is looking great
Spring 2015 seems eons away. That's probably because I want to get my hands on the final version of Mighty No. 9 as soon as possible, and this new trailer isn't helping.
It shows off some new manuevers, including the stages for enemies No. 2 and No. 5. The health meter has also changed aesthetically in this new build, and a new musical track is shown off.
Based on the footage, it seems like dashing is a huge part of the gameplay, so get ready for a lot of potential "claw-hand" method controller holding!

Excited to peek behind the seventh window of the Whisky Advent Calendar? Well now's the time, as it's Day 7! Behind that little window lies a classic Sherried expression from a family-owned independent Scottish distillery - it's a dram of Glenfarclas 10 Year Old!
Six generations of the Grant family have helped run the distillery, and next year marks the 150th anniversary of John Grant buying Glenfarclas back in 1865. #WhiskySanta Towers has been family-owned for many decades too you know, but the Grant family have managed it all without omniscience and flying reindeer. Bloody impressive! Not to say I'm a slouch mind, just watch me move on the 24th!

It's Day 6 already! How time flies when you're having fun! That said, time is irrelevant to omniscient supernatural beings such as myself. I've seen the fall of empires and the birth of new stars in the sky...
Speaking of stars, behind the sixth window of your Whisky Advent Calendars, you'll find a dram of Swedish single malt from the Spirit of Hven distillery, named after Merak, a star in the Ursa Major constellation. It's the second release in their spectacular 'Seven Stars' series of whiskies. It's just the ticket if you're keen for a winter warmer, which you may be looking for if you visit the tiny craft distillery on the island of Hven in the Öresund strait at this time of year!

Four delicious days down, and on 5th December the Whisky Advent Calendar giveth single malt from Bogh Mòr! Bowmore distillery's 12 year old single malt to be precise.
They say that the devil last visited Bowmore in 1837, and that the people of the town of Bowmore scared him off. I'm generally more bothered by the Grinch though personally. If you happen to see him about, make sure you tell him to do one too, won't you? He'll take a hint one of these days. Other than that, I simply encourage you to sit back and enjoy your dram of delicious peated Scotch from Islay.

It's Day 4, and what do we have here? A single malt Scotch whisky? Yes, from the "extremely unget-at-able" Isle of Jura, as I once heard young George Orwell describe it.
It's considerably easier to 'get-at' if you have flying reindeer of course, and I do rather enjoy travelling to the island on business every Christmas Eve. Less ice than at home, but many more deer! Mrs Claus and I are only outnumbered 9:2 (used to be 4:1 before we adopted that ruddy schnozzled fellow) by our four-legged antlered friends, whilst the Diurach of Jura are outnumbered 30:1 by the island's red deer!
Hence why Jura or 'Diùra' literally means 'deer island'. This dram, meanwhile, spent 14 years in American white oak casks and two years in ex-Amoroso Oloroso Sherry casks, and is said to be the whisky of choice for the Diurach themselves...

Time to open the third window of our Whisky Advent Calendars and see what surprise lies behind it... why I think this is a bourbon... Yes, it's Evan Williams Single Barrel Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey!
They've been producing Evan Williams at family-owned Heaven Hill since 1959 you know, and it's named after the chap who was purportedly Kentucky's first ever commercial distiller. I remember young Evan very well, of course, but as an omniscient supernatural being I'm not allowed to clear up these little historical facts for you I'm afraid. Rules is rules. Besides, there's some delicious bourbon to taste...

The second day of Whisky Advent is upon us already and what's behind the second window of the Whisky Advent Calendar?... Why it's Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey!
The Teeling family were of course the good folk behind the independent Cooley distillery (creating the excellent Connemara Peated single malt and Greenore single grain, for example) before it was eventually bought by Beam. Fortunately, they weren't away for long and soon released Teeling Small Batch, a blend of selected casks of Irish malt and grain, finished for six months in ex-Flor de Caña Rum casks! In early 2015 they'll have a shiny new distillery opening in the heart of Dublin too, one of many new projects on the island.

Now this here story I'm about to unfold is something you should all be listenin' to. And listenin' well. There's a reward, you see. A reward of Drinks by the Dram Christmas Cracker sets, full of award-winning spirits and liqueurs, ready to be claimed by those with a keen eye for spotting the roughest, toughest cracker-pullers in the festive west...

We're giving away 10x sets of Drinks by the Dram Christmas Crackers per round, up to and including the grand Final, to folk who correctly guess the winner in each showdown!

Since I began granting one Christmas wish per day, there's been one product in particular that's been rather popular on your wishlists. Some chap in a panama hat with fluorescent eyes said it was rather good or something. Not much call for panama hats at the North Pole, you know. Still, if there's one thing I've learned travelling all around the globe every year it's that it takes all sorts!

The Monkey Shoulder Ultimate Bartender Challenge has been quite a journey - over 50 teams signed up back in March and April, but as Connor MacLeod has taught us (with alarming regularity on this here blog):"There can be only one."
Having followed the competition on twitter and attended the grand bar-off last month, I can thoroughly recommend hunting down the competition's worthy winners at their London Cocktail Week pop-up in 7 Dials this week (as I did yesterday). To explain a little more about this cocktail competition that was totally unlike anything we've ever reported on before though, let me hand you over to Monkey Shoulder's new brand ambassador...

2014 showed that the Packers offense is, frankly, a juggernaut. Two rookies that made a difference at positions where that is difficult to do (wide receiver and tight end) in this league will now be coming back after a season full of experiences, good and bad. This experience, combined with the veteran presence of Pro-Bowler Jordy Nelson and the ever-dangerous Randall Cobb will give defenses fits in 2015. Add to that the up-and-coming Jeff Janis and a healthy Jared Abbrederis and the Packers receiver corps will force defenses to "pick their poison". We will highlight all these guys in successive installments of the series. Continue reading
A continuation of the Packer Receivers of History series. To read the articles you missed, go to the Packer Receivers of History category page.
There is a ton of controversy surrounding Greg Jennings right now. Frankly, there will always be controversy surround a player who "defects" from the Packers and joins the hated Vikings.
That said, what Jennings did when he was a Packer puts him in the conversation with other top Packer receivers. Continue reading
Wow! Apparently Dennis Dodd and Lance Briggs think they get to choose who Aaron Rodgers roots for in the NCAA tournament. Well, I disagree. And I have a few things to say about Aaron's attendance at recent Badgers games. I love that Aaron has supported and even made friends with young Badger players who reside in Aaron Rodgers's state of residence. Here are some Twitter snapshots that illustrate just how presumptuous some people can be. Continue reading
Is it April 30th yet? Football season can't get here soon enough for most fans, and April 30th "Draft day" kicks off the new beginning in my opinion. Some fans like the free agency frenzy and believe that's the start of the season but I have learned Ted Thompson doesn't dabble in free agency too often except to retain his own, so as I said draft day is the day I look forward to for the new season.
At this stage of the game fans are freaking out about who was lost and who should be signed, lets take a look at where the team stands after the dust has settled, first and foremost Thompson secured two of his own in Bryan Bulaga and Randall Cobb, with the exception of Kuhn the offense is pretty much intact and Kuhn is a 90% chance of being signed soon.

Packernation has seen the interior of the defense in flux all off-season with no signings…until now. According to NFL.com, LeTroy Guion and the Packers have agreed to a one year deal. The deal came after a season in which Guion came on at the right time but then made huge blunder by being picked up for marijuana possession. Continue reading
