The Decade's Most Talked About Award Show Moments
Over the past decade, there have been plenty of unexpected award show moments, so let's take a look back at our top picks.
1. Madonna kisses Britney Spears (and let's not forget Christina Aguilera) during the 2003 MTV VMAs. We still love that the camera pans to a very bewildered Justin Timberlake.
2. We are still shocked re-watching Faith Hill lose her cool at the 2006 Country Music Awards when Carrie Underwood was announced as an award winner. Her reaction speaks for itself.
3. Bruno (played by actor Sacha Baron Cohen) drops in on Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards. Too bad the whole stunt wound up being fake.
4. While it was harmless, the media wouldn't quit talking about the alleged "kiss" between Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven at the 2000 Oscars. Haven later admitted that he was just congratulating her for winning Best Supporting Actress, but it blew up into so much more.
"I did not give Angie a French kiss, it was something simple and lovely. I congratulated her on the Oscar win and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. It was snapped and became a big thing round the world," he said.
5. During the 2003 Oscars, Adrien Brody walked on stage to accept his award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role" for 'The Pianist' and shockingly leaned presenter Halle Berry over and gave her a long, sexy smooch. We definitely didn't see that one coming.
6. Britney Spears opens the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards with a painfully awkward rendition of 'Gimme More.'
7. When Halle Berry accepted her Razzie Award for Worst Actress for 'Catwoman,' she played along and showed she had a huge sense of humor.
8. While there is no video, Josh Brolin's acceptance speech at the New York Film Critic Circle awards in January 2009 caused quite a stir. Accepting his award for Best Supporting Actor in 'Milk,' Brolin began his speech, "Quite an actor, Sean Penn, quite an actor. [Pause] Amazing. [Pause] And now I'm an a**hole. Like Russell Crowe. Because I'm not as smart as Sean. [Pause] Quite an actor. [Pause] Amazing actor. I've loved you in 'Milk,' I thought what you did with that role was incredible. We've known you as an actor who doesn't smile very much. And the fact that you smiled as much as you did in this film is amazing. Truly incredible. You are an amazing actor. You are going to get the Oscar. Because you smiled so much," Brolin said to actor Sean Penn.
9. Lady Gaga bleeds to death at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Need we say more?
10. Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford was arrested after climbing the set at the 2000 VMAs at Radio City Music Hall after Rage lost out in the Best Rock Video category to Limp Bizkit.

the funniest was faith hill's face when she lost. presumptuous, aren't we? obviously, no one told her not to count her chickens before they hatched. move over faith, you're old! LOLOLOLOL
I didn't see anything awkward with britney's dancing. sure her belly was hanging out, but she had a baby, and she was moving like an old man, but what's new?
that adrien brody is a perv, he barely acknowledge his wife's or gf's kiss of congrats and then he goes and practically asphixiates halle to death. Perv!
and justin did not look "bewildered". he was like, "cool!" when madonna kissed the girls. Men.
and it was sooooooo obvious that eminem and bruno thing was staged. cmon, people! soooooo obvious.
and that kiss between angie and her brother was so affectionate, not sexual. people made such a big deal out of this, saying there was tongue. there was no tongue at all! and even if there were, so what? it's not like he had sex with her right there on the carpet. bleh.
....LOL faith hill.

Britney's performance wasn't that bad and her body didn't look all that awful; she just needed a better fitting, less revealing costume. It seems that she was self conscious which contributed to her less than stellar performance.

JAMES Walter scored four touchdowns as Oxford Saints ended the season with a 34-20 home win over Leicester Falcons.
The success saw them finish second in the table, with seven wins from ten games, a significant improvement on last season, which yielded only four victories.
Walter set the tone with the Saints' second possession of the game, breaking through to run in a 59-yard touchdown.
Leroy Holmes stretched the lead, catching a pass from quarterback Harry Brookmyre to claim his first career touchdown for Saints.
The extra point kick was successful, but Falcons hit back with a score of their own before half-time to make it 13-6.
The third quarter was more even, until James Sharples picked out Walter for his second score of the game.
Again the hosts added the extra point, before Falcons hit back once more, ending the third quarter trailing 20-13.
It remained close in the fourth quarter, as the visitors responded yet again following Walter's third touchdown.
But with time running out, Walter's fourth score of the game finally made sure of the result.

"I loved this card for my son's 1st birthday invitation. It's so simple and cute. The lettering and different sized fonts were playful, yet didn't take away from whichever photo of your child you decided to pick. These are my favorite types of cardstock as well. The matte, rounded edges are so adorable."
"This invite is even better in person! I usually use photo invitations, but this time I put two photos on the back. It's perfect! Love the soft pink color."
"I paid the small fee for the actual review, and customized the colors with bright pink/yellow to go with the Fantastic First stickers and address labels. The review came back quickly and was exactly what I wanted - and I received my order quickly, too. Super satisfied with the quality (as always - I always have been with this company and have ordered several times through them), and the customer service was outstanding. ::happy customer::"
"-The quality of colors and print was fantastic for the invitations I ordered. They went perfectly for the them of the baby shower and the guest of honor was very pleased. -I have not orders from Tinyprints before but have ordered from Shutterfly. I will definitely order from Tinyprints in the future!"
"I got this card for my daughters 1st birthday, and I loved them! The party is rainbow theme, so they went with that. I wanted something with good quality but didn't want to pay an arm and leg! The paper the cards come on is very thick and the pictures look great! I definitely will be using tinyprints again for cards! They also got here really quick after I ordered and they come packaged in a box so they wouldn't bend before you get them! Very happy with my purchase!"

EASTON, Conn. – John Farquhar Chatfield Jr., a longtime Easton resident, died Dec. 24 at Yale-New Haven Hospital, surrounded by family. He was 92.
He was born on Nov. 27, 1920, in Bridgeport to John F. and Helen Norcross Lewis Chatfield. He moved to Easton in 1933. He graduated from Bassick High School in 1939 and Syracuse University in 1944.
He met and married Priscilla Anne Noyes at Syracuse University.
A World War II veteran, Chatfield served in the Navy from 1942 to 1945. He was stationed in the Pacific and participated in the invasion of Okinawa.
After the war, Chatfield became associated with Chatfield Insurance Agency in Bridgeport before expanding into real estate. He also received a patent for the water drill, a hydraulic-operated fire-extinguishing drill.
Chatfield also served as a volunteer firefighter for decades and was president of the Easton Volunteer Fire Company during its 50th anniversary year in 1971.
He was an original member with the Easton Ambulance Association, a member of various Masonic organizations and was past master of Aspetuck Lodge 142 in Easton.
Chatfield served on the vestry of Christ Church in Easton, where he engineered the construction of the church pond. He also lived in Redding for 10 years and was active with the Republican Town Committee there.
In later years, he volunteered with the Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Program and was a member of the Fairfield County Beaglers, Fayerweather Yacht Club, the Society of Mayflower Descendants and various historical societies.

Couple to sue over anti-gay political campaign which used their photo without permission
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good on you guys. Actions such as this deserve consequences. I hope you win an eight figure amount.
They will try to get out of payment for the photo VIA a LLC non profit org. Well, the non profit is NOT to use it's money to make political changes, or risk looseing their statis of Non Profit Org. So Bust them twice guys, you deserve it.
""Tom and I both cringe now when we look at our engagement photo, a photo which will forever live on the internet as a message of hate"
Sorry but BLEURRGH!
OK, so they infringed your copyright, so sue their arses off, but no need to play the violins quite so heavily.
Their special image has been put up all over the Internet, where it will never go away, and used to promote discrimination. Too right their feelings about the photo have been affected. If anyone had done this to my marriage photos I'd be devastated.
I know your politics are on the non-empathy side of the spectrum, but to denigrate the distress others can experience in this way is very poor form. Life is more nuanced than being all about money.
I totally understand their upset, but that still doesn't lessen the impact of their big day, or the photographic record of it.
The bottom line is, these people infringed personal intellectual copyright, which comes with heavy penalties. The claim they cannot bear to look at the pictures is frankly rather stomach churning, and sounds totally manufactured on advice from their lawyers to appeal to people's sensibilities, when it will have little or no effect on the court's judgement.
I just hope they take these bigots to the cleaners, but getting personal about it helps nobody.
Not only is Eugene DelGaudio being sued, he is also being investigated by the FBI.

A new English variety of apple: John Windsor watches Neil Curd blend the skills of the craftsman with modern machinery to make silver at an affordable price
Saturday 10 April 1993
Mass production has spoilt our eye for craftsmanship. Before machinery was invented, every silver object such as this could be created only by hours of meticulous beating by hand. People knew the value of such things because there were no substitutes. Today, who can tell? Why buy silver if your friends have no eye for it? No wonder the silver trade has declined.
As it happens, the silver apple is not hand-beaten. It is spun silver - a flat disc coaxed into shape with hand tools while spinning on a lathe. J A Campbell, the London silversmith, makes about 300 a year exclusively for Tiffany, the New York jeweller, where they sell for dollars 100 (pounds 66).
The company's founder, John Campbell, surprised me by saying that if the apples were mass-produced by stamping, instead of crafted by spinning, they might be more accurately made. In stamping, the flat discs would be punched into shape in a single blow from a heavy template.
The trouble with stamping, Mr Campbell said, was that tooling up was horribly expensive and would be nowhere near cost-effective for runs of only 300 a year. Beating by hand would also price the piece out of the market. These days, it seems, manufacturers can choose whatever mix of craftsman and robot they prefer - the final arbiter being economics. Spinning, a balanced blend of man and machine, gets it about right, at least for little silver apples. Which raises some questions about taste and the way we appreciate things.
Could a modern hand-beaten apple be more aesthetically pleasing than a spun or stamped version, once we know that its maker has chosen to ignore technological advance and spend long hours producing an inferior product by an obsolete method? Are there smart apples and doltish apples? Can you tell the difference?
It is not just what you see, it is what you know. Neil Curd would spot spun silver apples in a flea market because he knows how to make them. He is bound apprentice silver spinner to Mr Campbell, having served 18 months of his five years' training. When he completes his indentures, under the auspices of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, he will automatically become a freeman of both the Company and the City of London. Children subsequently born to him can also obtain the freedom - but not their children. Such is the rule of patrimony.
Mr Curd slides one of half a dozen brass chucks on to the lathe spindle. Each chuck is a template matching different contours of the apple which is, as yet, only a silver disc. The chucks, made from brass rods, have been turned on the same lathe. Apprentices mount a chunk of rod, start up, and pare away at it with a turning tool, holding the designer's drawing behind it. It is all done by eye.
The silver disc is clamped against the chuck, the lathe begins to roll and Mr Curd presses the spinning disc against the chuck with a hefty tool-steel spike. Miraculously, the silver spreads over the contours of the chuck. By using both flat and sharp sides of the spike, he can either thin the silver or stretch it - a useful choice when it comes to making the top of the base the same diameter as the lid. 'It fits]' he says, as another two halves of apple nestle together.
Each little apple leaf is hand-cast. First an original in silver-brass is fashioned by hand. A rubber mould is made of it, which is cut open to rescue the original and then tied together again and the cavity filled with hot wax. The hardened wax leaf is removed and encased in liquid plaster of Paris, which, when set, is steeped in hot water so that the wax runs out. This is the 'lost wax' method.
The resulting plaster cast, after baking at 800C for 12 hours in an electric furnace, is capable of withstanding molten silver at 500C, poured into it while being centrifuged so it spreads evenly throughout the cavity.
Smash the plaster and there is the silver leaf, ready to be electrolytically gold-plated in a bath of lethal gold-cyanide. Gold never looked as unromantic as this. The gold leaves get their shine by spending a day in a polishing barrel with burnished steel balls. They are screwed and soldered on to the apple.
You might think that some tell-tale traces of Mr Curd's handiwork would be left intact, proclaiming the object's genuine hand-made status. Not at all. The apples are first 'sanded' using a polishing lathe with felt (originally elephant hide) wheels dusted liberally with pumice powder. The last traces of spinning lines disappear. Compressed lambs' wool mops, coated with rouge polish, bring up the lustre. The job could not be automated because of the need to polish in the nooks and crannies.
If it is silver-plated plastic apples you want, you should not approach John Campbell. But his eight employees, tucked away on a single floor of a factory in Shoreditch, east London, know all about the technology it would require. Works manager Ellis Degavino said: 'You can silver plate anything. First you would spray the plastic with electro-conductive paint with a certain amount of silver in it - so long as it will conduct a voltage, you can plate it by electrolysis.'
Mr Campbell's fascination with casting began at the age of 13. Having cast lead in a tobacco tin for fun and been given a plaster-casting kit for Christmas, he found he could replace his lead soldiers' missing limbs perfectly. 'It gave me an awful lot of confidence at the age of 13.'
The firm had its origins in a garden shed in 1965, turning out silver pepper mills, silver napkin rings and tea sets. It has its own maker's mark, the initials JAC in a triangle, which can be punched alongside three other marks - the official hall or town mark of the Assay Office, which vets the silver content (minimum allowed: 92.5 per cent), the standard or quality mark and the annual date letter.
The London silver industry, specialising in quality wares, has been badly hit by the recession. The mass-producers of Birmingham and Sheffield are more buoyant. The latest London casualty is the biggest silver manufacturer, the three centuries-old firm of William Comyns, which employed 400 people from 1910-20 and was in liquidation this year. A relaunch by the Malaysian company, Royal Selangor, is planned for this summer. The rest of the London trade now consists of a plethora of one- or two-man outfits and only two or three sizeable firms - Campbell's, Wakely & Wheeler and Naylor Brothers, owned by Asprey and Garrard.
Pieces bearing the mark of the dwindling number of silver manufacturers, especially those with interesting histories such as J A Campbell, could be the collectables of the future - but there is little sign of it yet. Apart from a few modern masters such as Gerald Benney, former professor of silversmithing and jewellery at the Royal College of Art, makers prefer to hide their light under bushels. Instead of dealing with the public, they sell, often exclusively, through retailers such as Aspreys, who apply their own 'sponsor's mark', the maker remaining anonymous. It is a tradition dating back generations.
One way of buying silver bearing the maker's instead of the retailer's mark is to present yourself on the factory doorstep and demand a certain piece in a hurry. Explain that the retailer is out of stock and that you cannot wait three or four weeks for a freshly ordered piece to pass through the Assay Office. If the manufacturer has some stock already hallmarked by the Assay Office and is prepared to telephone the retailer to square the deal, you could end up with a piece bearing his mark. But you will be regarded as being as crazy as someone knocking on the door of a Ford plant asking to buy a car. Hard-working craftsmen do not welcome intrusion by the public.
Mr Campbell's catalogue lists nearly 300 lines, some retailing at more than pounds 10,000. He is a major supplier of Mappin & Webb, but does not hanker after recognition as a maker in his own right. 'So long as we're making the sales, I'm not fussed,' he said.

Originally written on Diehardsport | Last updated 11/11/14
During the second period of the Detroit Red Wings game four win over the Chicago Blackhawks, Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson absolutely obliterated Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell. The two were racing for a loose puck in the corner when Ericsson caught Bickell off-guard. Bickell yardsaled a bit, losing his left glove, and then had a lot of trouble getting back to his feet. This was a seismic collision between two massive players; Ericsson is 6'4″ 221 lbs, and Bickell is 6'4″ 233 lbs. [Video via: YouTube] [GIF via: @Guyism]

10 out of 11 people found this review helpful:Because its worth itWell I certainly didn't think this was going to amount to anything. Though it did have some street credit being the same product from the minds that brought you Gurren Lagann. Mind you I was somewhat 50/50 on Gurren Lagann. Not to say Gurren Lagann was bad it probably just wasn't my cup of tea. But I did have a personal opinion on the matter and thankfully Kill La Kill did outshine that personal ...Read more
73 out of 89 people found this review helpful:Absolute, over the top, awesomeness!The entire team that brought you Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking has reunited at Studio Trigger, the newest animation studio on the block, to present one of the most over the top action series in a long time! Kill la Kill presents a very unique story with an interesting concept behind the powers in this series and blends it with wild, jaw-dropping animation and over the top fight scenes in the ...Read more
Go watch Gurren Lagann. It's pretty much the same thing done much better.Seriously, there is literally no point in watching this. I know it sounds harsh, but this show really is devoid of any kind of substance. The characters, with the exception of Satsuki and Ragyo are one-note and throwaway. The animation is completely inconsistent. The show has no overall backbone or sense of direction to how it wants to pan out, opting to just throw gratuitous action scenes and ...Read more
DAT CREATIVITY, DOE.Using SCISSOR BLADES of all things as the protagonist's weapon? Nice!
Anyway, this show is INSANELY messed up (unless you like seeing...well u know), but still, the plotline, weapons, characters, and just the overall theme makes up for the akward...stuff...
So, yeh. 4 of 5 stars to this one.:D
Not a show for everyone, but great none the less!There are two options with this show, you either love it or hate it. There are a few in the middle who find things they like and also dislike about it, but for the most part the opinions are polar.Read more
If you like over the top exaggerated animation, action and storytelling then Kill la Kill may be for you.
If you can shut your brain off through the length of the show and simply enjoy it for what ...
5 Star that's why. This anime will leave you wanting more.I see a lot of 4 stars saying it is good but I personally think this anime is amazing. This by far is my 2nd favorite anime since cowboy bebop is my first. If you love anime you will love this. Give it a try trust me it is worth it. Kill la Kill will suck you and make you cry for a second season.
Full to the brim with symbolsThis is one of a few shows that manage to fill itself full of symbols without any real single interpretation of the massages behind it and still retains being a twist on a magical girl anime. The same insane fighting scenes that can be expected of Trigger with a deeper meaning in this overall good story with well-rounded characters. At first it may seem like a stupid anime with lots of fighting, ...Read more
0 out of 3 people found this review helpful:It's 'alright' at bestThe whole anime should be praised for it's design and certain action squences, but the story feels thin and the characters bleak. Each character seems to have one dead set of incredibly obvious and over the top aspects to their personality and nothing else. Giving this anime a really passive feel when it comes to character development.Read more
The over the top ...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Stunning Animations, A Perfect Plot, All out Action Scenes, and Filled With HumorI feel ashamed to have skipped this anime, i should have watched it earlier, but anyway, Kill la Kill is one of the most astounding works Trigger has every pulled. The plot is flawless and the characters are just brought to life thanks to director Hiroyuki Imaishi. Trigger also puts easter eggs of their past works so keep an eye peeled for that.
Put this series at the top of your To-Watch listThis Show is so spectacularly ridiculous that it actually works as a formula. Main character needs a weapon? Giant Scissor Blade! Needs powerful opponents to fight? Super powered school uniforms worn by club captains! Not powerful enough now? HALF NAKED SAILOR UNIFORM MAKES HER STRONGER!

"BUGLER Gold Pouch 12ct - In the 1800s, a company Bugler announced new shipments of tobacco. At the sound of his horn, workers descended upon the barges to process the fresh leaf. It was customary for the Bugler to have the first choice of the crop. This prime leaf somply became known as the Buglers Gold. Its name comes from the rich and mellow smoking experience of this premium crop. We are proud to offer you this tradition of a mellow smoking experience with Bugler Gold."

"I will from now on always use wpd! It was so easy to customize my orders, they arrived in a timely fashion, and with no incidents! Awesome work guys!"
"These save the dates were great for us with having a few favorite pictures from our engagement pictures. The quality of the images are beautiful and very detailed. The personalization was easy to do and the colors available to personalize with complimented our pictures nicely. Everyone who has seen them loves them, especially seeing the calendar with the date circled. The shipping was very quick, much sooner than expected."
"Loved this design and the website makes it very easy to customize how you want it to be. The delivery we so fast !! I ordered the standard paper quality and it's good enough for me. (I rather spend more on the invitations) I did order the shimmering white envelope though and it is beautiful !!"
"The foil on this card was very gold and shiny. Cards were slightly smaller than I expected but really that was my ignorance. I changed the fonts to better fit the modern style of the card. Overall a great card for a modern bride."
"My friend highly recommended Wedding Paper Divas in general and after seeing her magnet save the date, I had to give it a try! The pricing and quality is great! I love that the magnets have a matte finish instead of a cheaper glossy looking finish. They look great and have the rounded edges which give it something extra. Also, the customer service was amazing and I didn't have a single issue. The design we fell in love with only came in gold and silver, when we needed a plum purple. So we asked them via the note system if they could adjust the text and the top left banner design to plum purple to match our wedding colors. They ended up matching the tone of purple to the dress I was wearing in our chosen photos! Their attention to detail is great and we are planning on using them now for our invitations, menu cards, and table numbers!"

Epic Resources List - How to Get Awesome at ArtI often get asked how to get better at drawing and painting. While the main answer is practice there are a lot of fantastic resources that will make the journey far easier; below is a list of the ones I have personally found most useful. Some are free and some are paid, if you want the paid ones please actually buy them and support the hard-working artists that spend their valuable time providing quality education.Also this is enough material to last you for, literally, years, so get one at a time, study it in detail, then once you're thoroughly finished move on to the next one. Reading a book or watching a dvd doesn't make you better. What makes you better is ingesting the information slowly, pondering and truly understanding it, and then applying it with diligent practice over a long period of time.So without further ado, here is my...EPIC RESOURCES LIST!!!Figure DrawingProko - This is probably the best education on the internet.

Contacting me about doing cosplay: not photographyHey guys!So I've noticed a trend lately.I understand that this a common mistake, but I do get kinda tired of people mistaking me for the cosplayer rather than as a photographer.I understand that when people see my posts on dA or Cosplay.com or FB, they tend to assume it's the cosplayer who posted it and in comments, it's understandable. But I've been getting private messaged or emails A LOT lately from people who are offering opportunities for big projects to do cosplay for, and I continuously have to inform them that I am a photographer, not a cosplayer.In the last month, I can probably say I've been contacted 10-11 times for those reasons. I just wish people would take an extra 5 minutes to actually research my page, my account, or even in the descriptions, and it would easily be cleared up.It's kind of disheartening when people ONLY acknowledge the cosplayer and not the photographer who made it visible. Not to say the cosplayers don't do a wonderful job, they do (otherwise I wo

Kansas freshman Joel Embiid to miss the next two games with back injury
Mar 3, 2014, 3:56 PM EST
Kansas star freshman Joel Embiid is done for the season!!!
The regular season, that is.
Kansas head coach Bill Self announced on Monday that one of his two star freshmen will miss the final two games of the regular season with a back injury that was aggravated in the second half of Saturday's loss at Oklahoma State. Embiid initially hurt his back against TCU earlier this season and sat out three games as a result.
"I think he could return for the Big 12 tournament," Self told ESPN.com. "But it shouldn't impact the NCAA tournament."
The Jayhawks have already clinched the Big 12 regular season title, and they shouldn't have an issue beating Texas Tech at home or West Virginia on the road even with Embiid on the bench. To earn a No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday, Kansas will likely need to win the Big 12 tournament, but even if they lose the next three games, the Jayhawks shouldn't fall below a No. 2 or 3 seed.
Self is worried about winning the NCAA tournament, and the difference between a No. 1 seed and a No. 3 seed, especially this season, isn't all that much. It's more important for him to have a healthy Embiid at his disposal, which is precisely the reason that he won't play for at least a week.
- cranespy - Mar 3, 2014 at 7:55 PM
Oh my……..Sat the 8th Hugs and his Mountaineers will shock the Jayhawks and clinch the overall #1 seed……… in the NIT!!!
Be advised…..if you are a couch residing on any front porch in the vicinity of Morgantown, WV …. BE AFRAID…BE VERY AFRAID,
- 1historian - Mar 4, 2014 at 12:22 PM
Given that this kid is supposed to be among the elite freshmen who will be available this summer for promotion this is interesting. It's a good move by Self.

Quakertown residents' trash, recycling fees to fall
Updated On: Aug 07 2014 05:44:43 AM CDT
Quakertown Borough Council on Wednesday unanimously approved a three-year contract for trash and recycling services with Advanced Disposal Services, Skippack.
Borough residents have the option to pay a fixed rate every quarter for trash and recycling services or purchase a sleeve of bags.
Currently, residents pay $19.40 for a sleeve of four bags.
Beginning Oct. 1 of this year, the price will drop to $14.
Councilwoman Lisa Gaier said the decrease is the result of the borough administration striving to ensure costs for taxpayers remain manageable.
"Through the negotiations of the borough manager and staff, they are working to keep costs down," she said.
The decrease will benefit seniors and those on fixed incomes, Gaier said.
She spoke in favor of Advanced Disposal Services.
"We are fortunate and pleased to be working with them," she said.
Gaier noted the price for residents will increase to $20.38 for 2014-15 and $20.79 for 2015-16.
The price increase, she said, is small, however.
"It's a negligible increase of less than 50 cents, which is significantly under the other competitive bids for this year," Gaier said.
In other business, council unanimously approved extending the Quakertown Area Industrial & Commercial Development Authority's term for another 50 years.
The QAICDA, chartered in 1980, is an economic development financing authority. Its mission is to provide tax free, low interest rate loans to business and industry, 501(c)(3) entities and tax exempt facilities.
Council Vice President Donald Rosenberger said the extension is necessary to keep the organization in existence.
"It was scheduled to expire, so we'll keep it going for another 50 years," he said.
The new term will run until 2064.
Council also approved de-certifying the existing police officer eligibility list and authorizing the police officer selection process.
"This [de-certifying] is a process which allows a new testing cycle to begin," council President L. James Roberts Jr. said.
Council will hold its next meeting 7:30 p.m. Aug. 25 in the municipal building at 35 N. Third St.

Five Best Online Dating Sites
People used to be embarrassed to say that they met online. Even today, going online is a signal to some folks that you haven't been able to successfully meet someone in a more traditional way, but that group is shrinking every day. In most demographics, using the Internet to meet someone now is the norm -- it's just a matter of which site or app you are going to use to do it. Not sure if you should be using Match.com or Tinder? Plenty of Fish or Grindr? Are you wondering if less obvious sites like Meetup.com might be more casual with less pressure? Which sites are mainly for one-night stands and which ones should you be using if you are looking for a long-term relationship? Lifehacker polled its readers and came up with this handy list of the five best online dating sites.
Music Live 2.0
Whether you are a casual music fan or a hardcore concert-goer who's signed up to every band's mailing list, the new version of Manitoba Music's dedicated app will make it easier for you to find out about festivals, album release parties, concerts, open mics, jams and events in your community.
Music Live 2.0 was launched in March 2014 and has become one of the tools curious Manitobans have had at their disposal during the Year of Music to help them discover new acts or get reacquainted with old favourites. Download it and make this summer count for live music, whether it be the upstart Rainbow Trout Music Festival, an afternoon blues jam, the fifth anniversary of the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition or a local band you haven't heard before.
Video of the Week: Rick Rubin Interview
While producer Rick Rubin may be instantly recognizable, with his ZZ Top beard and thinning white hair, his approach in the studio can't be nailed down as easily. The genius behind the early careers of highly influential acts such as Run-DMC, the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J, Rubin also helped reboot Johnny Cash and Black Sabbath and recently worked on Kanye West's Yeezus, Eminem's The Marshall Mather's LP 2, Lana Del Rey's Paradise and Lady Gaga's Artpop.
The BBC's Zane Lowe sits down with the award-winning producer and co-founder of Def Jam Records at his Malibu studios to talk about his early career, helping Kanye realize his vision and what it was like to work on one of Cash's most critically and commercially successful albums, while at the same time helping to reintroduce the Man in Black back into pop culture.
Download of the Week: Grimes -- Go
Recently rejected by Rihanna, the song Go was crafted by Grimes and partner-in-crime and fellow Canadian Blood Diamonds. While its frantic bass pops, trapped-out drums and underlying melodies might not be right for Rihanna, Grimes makes quick work of the track for herself -- it either foreshadows a slightly new, more commercial/club-ready sound or she's just clearing out her hard drive of ideas she has been pitching other people. A free download is available from the singer/producer's Soundcloud page.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Rebuild the broken Bombers, and do it right
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are a bad team, low on talent for the present and future. By the end of this season, it will be time for an overhaul from top to bottom.
This football team needs a fix, and not just a slight tweak here and there. A mid-season purge won't do it, as both a psychological shift and personnel update are required.
The best and most direct route to a better future is to follow the model of the recent Toronto Maple Leafs. Hire a quality CFL football person, give him a long-term deal with guaranteed budgets and unfettered power over football operations.
Remove any possibility of meddling from the board and team executives and send a statement to fans that something is being done, and despite their infinite patience, they're now being asked to exert a little more.
If the right person and proper plan are put in place, the fans will buy in. But more of the status quo will only lead to football and financial ruin for the Bombers.
There is little passion in the stands these days. Fans don't believe in the present or the future, and worse, many have stopped caring.
They need to know the board and CEO Garth Buchko are removed from the football end of the operation.
Buchko and the board get blamed for a lot of things beyond their control. So be it. Perception is reality, and the only way to counter it at this point is to give a football chief full control and the money to get the job done.
It won't be cheap, but we've seen what cheap gets in the form of the miserable football history in Winnipeg that has unfolded over the last 20-plus years.
The Leafs courted Brian Burke in 2008 and he made it clear early in the process he would only take the job on his terms -- a long-term contract with no interference from then-CEO Richard Peddie and the Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment board.
Burke was made president and general manager, hockey operations. He had real power and he used it.
Much like the Bombers, the Leafs had a history of losing and a reputation for a board and executive that put its nose where it didn't belong. Burke's contract guaranteed an end to the meddling and his skills put a playoff team in place.
Burke was fired last fall, but not for hockey reasons. He left the Leafs in good shape as a hockey organization, with one of the best coaches in the game, a playoff team on the ice and a host of prospects on the way.
Wouldn't you love to be able to say the same thing about the Bombers in three years?
There is no longer any question that as a football organization, the Blue Bombers are broken and in the midst of a long-term cycle of systemic losing.
If you don't like pain or gruesome sights, maybe it's best to skip the next couple of paragraphs as we offer a quick review.
Right off the top, we'll deal with the Grey Cup. The last time the team won was 1990. Too long ago in an eight-team league.
The current administration, led by GM Joe Mack, can't be blamed for the entire drought, but they have demonstrated they're not the group to end it.
Mack is in his fourth year with the club and has compiled a 21-38 record to date. Losses can be accepted early on if they are in the name of a brighter future, but that can't be said in Winnipeg.
Except for a stretch in 2011 that saw the Paul LaPolice-led Bombers open the season with a 7-1 mark, the Mack era has been about losing and nothing more.
The Bombers have no definitive answer at quarterback and the offensive line is in need of a revamp. Henoc Muamba is the lone high-performance Canadian on the roster, and the defence has regressed.
If Mack was rebuilding for the first three years of his tenure, what is he doing now?
Firing Mack today might quench the thirst for blood among some, but it really serves no purpose.
Qualified CFL candidates won't be available until season's end and the Bombers need someone in charge until then.
Releasing Mack is the first step, but that act is much less important than who is hired next and under what parameters.
The obvious choices are proven CFL leaders with track records. Unfortunately, prying Wally Buono or Jim Popp out of their current situations in B.C. and Montreal, respectively, would prove expensive, to say the least, and nearly impossible.
Calgary's Jon Hufnagel and Regina's Brendan Taman would also be great hires, but they too are tied up.
The Bombers likely need to uncover a GM-in-waiting and let him go to work.
There are excellent candidates currently in assistant GM positions with coaching staffs, the media and the league front office -- people with CFL managerial experience, knowledge of the Canadian game and relationships around the league.
The Bombers have limped along with an inferior football operations department based on structure as much as personnel for too long.
Taman had his hands tied in Winnipeg by a number of factors such as budget and lack of autonomy.
Now, given the money and freedom to do as he sees fit with the Roughriders, the result is the best team in Canada by a long shot. Hufnagel, who is also head coach, has a similar arrangement in Calgary.
Winnipeg needs a similar candidate and job description.
Change is coming. Bet on it.
What will that change look like? That's what we need to be thinking about and discussing.
