amBX, a spin out company from Philips that develops external devices and technologies to enable better physical interaction with content, said on Wednesday that it had concluded a Tools and Middleware License agreement for PlayStation 3 video game system with Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
amBX, which was conceived and developed for the PC by a UK team within Philips Research, is a technology that delivers real-world sensory experiences – using LED light emitters capable of showing up to 60 million colours, rumble, air flow or even heaters – through licensed amBX peripherals, to the virtual worlds of video games, music, movies, Internet and TV entertainment. The Tools & Middleware License agreement with SCEI will allow amBX to develop its ambient experiences technology beyond the PC market and into the worldwide game market.
Currently there are not many PC games developed with amBX technology in mind, but those games are rather popular high-profile titles, such as Crysis, Far Cry 2, Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway, Call of Duty 4, World of Warcraft and Guitar Hero 3. Additionally, there are a lot of games which feature amBX support thanks to driver for the amBX hardware. In total, the company claims that 174 titles can take advantage of amBX technology and hardware, a major improvement compared to the amBX support a little less than two years ago, when X-bit labs tried it for the first time.
While the game support is crucial for prosperity of the amBX technology, it is also important that actual peripherals were compatible with it. At this point there are only a number of amBX kits available from Philips and designed for personal computers. As a result, Sony Computer Entertainment will have to develop its own amBX-enabled devices compatible with PlayStation 3 and, what is very important, home theater systems. Moreover, considering that hardly a lot of gamers sit right in front of their 40" – 50" HDTV sets, the new amBX kits for the PS3 should be designed keeping in mind that the user is at least several meters away from the screen. As a result, it is unlikely that the PlayStation will get additional ambient effects shortly, but when it does, this will be its advantages if competing solutions do not support similar functionality.
"This is a major milestone in the development of amBX as a ubiquitous standard for entertainment sensory experiences. amBX has already proved incredibly popular and successful within the PC games, music, movies and apps markets and the Tools & Middleware License agreement with SCEI will allow us to bring amazing light, rumble, sound and air movement experiences to game users," said Jo Cooke, chief marketing officer of amBX company.
amBX has already licensed the technology to many content developers and publishers in the gaming sector and the amBX developer program has recently launched a new, free SDK to allow many more hardware and entertainment developers to add this innovative technology to their products.

The church I attend, we use for worshipping two books; The Book of Psalter For Singing and the Trinity Hymnal. The latter contains hymns that were written by several Church Fathers. For example;
1.) Ambrose of Milan, who had a great influence upon Augustine, wrote hymns for the Church when he lived (340-397). One of those hymns Luther translated in 1524 for the German Church.
2.) Gregory the Great (509-604).
3.) Gregory Nazianzen (325-390).
4.) Clemens (348-413).
5.) Clement of Alexandria ( lived around AD200).
Can someone help me with the below questions that I have as a result from the above information;
Were these Church Fathers in error in writing these hymns by going against RWP according to EP's?
It seems that EP's say that the church has always sang psalms, do they mean in addition to hymns or that the Church of the OT always sang psalms?
If the church in the OT always sang psalms, why do Jews sing other songs that are not psalms?

A 16-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting a 13-year-old as the younger boy rode a bicycle with his friends in Minneapolis two years ago.
Derrick Deangelo Catchings pleaded guilty in adult court Tuesday to second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder for shooting and killing Rayjon Gomez and wounding another boy in a north Minneapolis alley in August 2011.
The Hennepin County Attorney's office says Catchings is likely to get more than 38 years in prison.
The Star Tribune reports sentencing is scheduled for May 20. Several other counts in the indictment will be dropped at that time.

Looking Forward To Singapore National Day Parade 2012: LovingSG In Many Different Ways!
When my siblings and I were very young – my age was a single digit – we would count down to the minutes before the parade and wait in anticipation on little chairs in front of the television. As the live audience cheered and did the Kallang roar, so did we while waving our little flags filled with candy that rattled in the plastic staff.
Singing happily to the tunes of 'We Are Singapore', 'Chan Mali Chan', and 'xiao ren wu de xin sheng' led by celebrities and backed by the choir, it was our way of celebrating the nation's birthday.
The funny thing was, right after all that singing, we would switch off the TV upon the appearance of the various contingents, what we called the 'boring marching people'. Lol. We would estimate about 30 minutes, during which we would take a bath and prepare snacks for the next part of the show.
How we loved the ensuing performances! The group formations of the Singapore flag, lion head, national flower, and various shapes were wonderful to look at. The display of pyrotechnics and color and rhythm showcasing the four main cultures of Singapore brought the stage to life. How I wished I could don one of those flamboyant costumes and disco my way through the night!
Combined school choir in 2005 Source: MOE
We said our pledge and sang Majulah Singapore with pride, complete with straight posture and fist on the heart. It made us feel very part of the live audience at the all-round stage at the National Stadium.
When the skies grew dark, my siblings and I brought the 'live' mood into our home by switching off all the lights in the house and we swayed our torchlights and bodies to the rhythm of the songs, singing at the top of our voices.
We didn't have the NDP goodies bags, as it was then called, so we invented our own. If you were born in the 80's, you would recall the McDonald's plastic lunchbox that came in either red or green. In mine I had a torchlight and a water bottle. Simple yet adequate for a night in. =)
The mood was revved up with the finale fireworks display – spurts of light that shot straight up into the black canvas, exploded into streaks of color, and faded into the darkness like drizzling gold coins.
Ah, such happy childhood memories of the National Day Parade!
It was many years later that I finally got to be a live audience at the National Stadium. If you've been at the live National Day celebrations, you'd know just how different the mood was!
Sitting beside strangers checking out their goodie bags, some lapping up dinner of oily KFC and Pizza Hut food sold at makeshift stalls at the entrances, some taking photos with film cameras that went 'CHEE-Keeeee', some fanning themselves with cardboard paper, and others just feeling awesome and grateful to be part of the live audience – like me; the feeling was just indescribable!
I was on a constant high throughout the show, and I even learnt to appreciate the significance and solemnness of the military contingents segment – the people who defend the place we call home.
Check this out! HAHAHA!
I was 16 and had a flag and fireworks on my cheek, the theme logo sticker on my forehead, and another flag on my neck. Somebody give me an award for Absolute Patriotism.
Please continue reading the rest of this post to see updated pictures of me and don't ask what was the thing I mosaiced. Thankyouverymuch. LOL.
Alas, gone are the days where we could queue to get tickets for the parade. As I mentioned in a previous post on how I got to be a live audience for so many years, my luck stopped the moment ticketing went online. Boo. I would love to queue! Qiuqiu and I can go queue together. But we've got to move with the times. Logistics was a headache and people are busier these days…
9 August was THE DAY for all Singaporeans to come together and celebrate the nation's birthday.
Why did I highlight 'THE DAY'?
Because this year, we don't have to wait till THE DAY, 9 August 2012, to express our love for our homeland! I hear 'WHAT? Express our LOVE?? We are Asian!'.
Okie, participate. Participate can?
While we don't tell our family and friends 'I love you guys so much, you are everything to me, I cannot live without you' on a daily basis, we show our love and concern through actions. And actions speak louder than words!
You probably don't fancy going round yelling into people's faces 'I LOVE SINGAPORE!!!'. Nah, it probably isn't our style. What we can do is participate in the NDP activities! And I tell you, the activities are so much fun this year!
The NDP committee brainstorms for a new theme for the National Day Parade every year, but this year is VERY different! It will no longer be just a parade, but an ongoing string of activities hosted nation-wide which started way back in March 2012! Many of these activities are completely new! Check them out here!
This year's theme is 'LovingSG: Our Home', and the activities were created to evoke emotions and memories of what we love about our country. We may not say it, but we can show it; we may not be able to express it in words, but we can represent it with acts of love.

Top Moment #8: Phillies Clinch National League East
It didn't have the drama of the two NL East titles that came prior. The Mets weren't busy blowing leads. There was no miraculous double play. Hell, it didn't even make it to the final weekend of the season.
2009 was a different year. The Phillies had built up a big enough lead that on a Wednesday night on the last day of September, they had a chance to pop the bubbly and sport some new hats and t-shirts.
The only real question as the night progressed was whether or not the Phillies would take care of business themselves or if the Braves were going to finish off the Florida Marlins first. After falling behind early, the Phillies finally pulled ahead 5-3 in the fourth inning and never looked back. Cue in a couple Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino triples, add in a Raul Ibanez bomb and all of a sudden it was 10-3 in the 7th inning.
However, then things got interesting. The Phillies game and the Braves game almost fell into a dead heat, going out for out.
During the past two NL East titles though, the Phillies had always clinched on their own. This year, the scoreboard operators would make sure that tradition continued. Suddenly, there were no updates coming of the Braves-Marlins game.
And with two outs in the ninth, Charlie Manuel went to the bullpen despite the game not being in question. Feeling as if he owed his much-beleaguered closer the opportunity to finish it off, Manuel brought in Brad Lidge to finish off his old team and bring the Phillies their third straight division championship.
A few fans in the stadium had their phones out and had seen the Marlins had already lost and the division was already won, but it felt better this way.
It felt better celebrating in front of the Harry Kalas tribute sign in left center. It felt better hearing the crowd erupt for a third straight division title considering prior to 2007, we hadn't won one in 14 years.
It just felt better this way.

And to think anybody was worried…
Perhaps old news, but Myers signed with the Astros. He joins Pedro Feliz, Geoff Geary, Michael Bourn, Jason Michaels andother ex-Phils. I wish him and Ed Wade the best.
Here we go, the expectations flying and our hopes high as they should be.
In 2007, the Phils made it to the post season by shear guts. What a year, what a clincher!
In 2008, the Phils left more men on base 'than Carter has pills' (as the old saying went). Even into the post season, deep into the WS the Phils left a ton of batters in scoring position yet won because of (all things) pitching! The relief pitching.
As yourself what propelled the Phils into the 2010 post season? Honestly, Jimmy Rollins had a terrible year especially for such a key position. Brad Lidge was awful! No words really to describe his ineptness nor Chahlie's determination to see his closer somehow work his way out of his incredible season long slump – Cole Hamels – might as well have been throwing Adam Eaton pitching! Absolutely no bench! How frustrating!
This year was mostly hitting, hitting and more hitting – without the services of one Jimmy Rollins. Raul Ibanez, J. Werth, Howard – were the key members of the offense that pushed us to the post season and yes, there were some key pitching performances by Lee & Happ –
With very decent years posted by Victorino, a sub-par year by the one time heir apparent to the NL MVP – Chase Utley – and his usual Rocktober Ruiz madness – the Phils scraped together a beautiful season but by no means complete.
2010 – bolstered by a hitter who's vocabulary does not include the word 'slump' (Polly), the best pitcher in the ML today (Halladay), what appears to be a decent looking bench, the stability of the middle of the offensive lineup and the hopes that Jroll, Lidge & Hamels will once again show us what we have seen from them in the past.
2010 promises – yep! At least one more gents – the first time any NL team has gone to the WS 3 years in a row since 1944. History in the making.
Sorry for the long post – just a little enthusiastic here… ya think?
I was there… and we were all scoreboard watching early on but one the game was "in hand" in the 7th, we all stopped scoreboard watching and the celebration was on. No one cared about the semantics at that point… it didn't matter which game finished first or whether the Fish would lose because our guys had already taken the drama out of it. In typical fashion, they showed that their true colors as winners by coming back and putting it away. The crowd was spirited… the Kalas tribute was fitting and it was a special night. The celebration was subdued but the crowd was definitely openly appreciative of the accomplishment. 3x and still defending NLE champs!
Geez… my post would have been better served as a grammatical abortion. I'm hopped up on cold medicine… sorry all.
Brooks: Hamels at his very worst was as far above Eaton as the space shuttle is above a dog turd. I wouldn't put Eaton on the mound in a T-ball game, because he'd still find a way to be the losing pitcher.
I will agree that Lidge was awful, Hamels had an off-year, and the team should be better this year, though.
The Original Chuck P: Don't be sorry. We're the ones who should be sorry that you have a cold. Besides, even hopped up, your grammar is better than SpankeeYankee's. In a few days you'll feel better, and will write better, but Spankee will always write like an idiot, medicated or not.
Just get well and don't worry.
Tom McCarthy took all the fun out of it when he decided to tell us the Braves already lost, about 30 seconds before the Berkman ground out (looked like he really wanted to get the game over with).
Nick, doesn't matter. If Eyre was left in the game would have ended well before the Marlins game (since it took literally 2 or 3 minutes for the pitching change to occur and Eyre would have gotten the final out in less than that) Charlie made the move because he knew we'd have already won before the Marlins game had he left Eyre in, so no mystery in that, so might as well just go with the classy move instead.
Just got home from work. Heard on ESPN that Meyers never wanted to leave Philadelphia and now cannot wait to come back. To kick our asses that is..
That's the x-Phillie curse
Myers helped us while he was here.. but was too immature to stay..
i'll give him some applause if i see him play in person, but I won't miss him a ton now that he's gone..
I would love to see him try to get through our lineup 2 times
Tom McCarthy is supposed to report the news as it happens..
When we officially clinched, he told us… no big deal
I'll always remember Myers for his performance in the 2008 playoffs..part of Phillies lore forever.
Can't wait til our left-handed bats tag him good.
The thing about myers that was strange to me , H
sorry , The thing about Myers that was strange is the lost of velocity at a young age. Mostly 88-89 all year, before 93-94 that's a lot for a not too old pitcher to lose.
Can't wait for the season to begin, but i'm trying to keep my expectations moderate so that I won't be disappointed. The Phillies should have another good year, barring any untimely injuries or poor performance from key players. Other than that, we'll just have to see what happens.
It's quite possible that Myers' speed decreased due to his hip problem, and that he could once again get into the low nineties. That, I'm sure, is why Houston was willing to take a risk with him. If his speed does return, it will make his other pitches more effective, too. If his velocity continues at something below ninety he'll be no better than a number four starter.
Personally, I hope he does well, but I won't miss him. He never did do as well as he should have given that nasty curveball of his. The Phils were about as patient with him as possible; I'd have traded him long before his contract ran out.
How "long before"….?? If we we have traded him "long before" the 2008 postseason….chances are we're not WFCs that year…Myers played a huge role after he came back from AAA….and in the postseason..
Personally, I'm glad we were patient with him..
he was such a PHILADELPHIA player though… bad ass all the way.
we would have HATED him so much if he was on the Mets or something.. he gave it his all, showed his emotions, answered questions honestly in interviews.. etc..
That's why he'll always be part of Phillies lore….fans in Philly love "bad asses"… cause so many of them are bad asses themselves. Or at least they THINK they are..
Other guys like that were Lenny Dykstra, to some extent Schilling, Allen Iverson, Brian Dawkins….although Dawkins and Myers really can't be compared…Myers isn't HALF the man B Dawk is..
Schill was just an ass.. talked just to have his name in the paper everyday.. Put that towel over his head when WILD THING was pitching so that the pictures in the paper would be of him instead of someone else
I was thinking guys more like Dave Hollins.. Trotter.. Primeau .. guys that didn't back down from anything
Mitch Williams always struck me as a Philly kinda guy, because he was a bit crazy, had balls made of steel, and did his best despite whatever anyone said about him. That '93 team was the most Philly team ever, if you ask me!
this is why people still don't like Hamels … he just doesn't fit the mold of "Philadelphia" … talent wise we love him, socially, he's awkward
We loved Rowand.. Brian Dawkins..
scrappy players are what we like.. when you combine scrappy with talent
Rollins, Utley, Werth … you have the makings of Philadelphia Legends
Yeah…Trotter…and I forgot about Hollins…real hard-nosed guy..
I guess Schilling's a bad example…some of his pitching performances were pretty "ballsy", though.. but you're right…a complete jackass.
Mitch Williams is a Philly guy…but in a different sort of way…goofball to the core…I love him on MLB Network and Comcast when he's on there.
Looks like Matt Kemp's gonna sign a 2 year deal with the Dodgers….it's thought to be around $10 MM per season…He's being compared to Nick Markakis who's being paid $9.75 MM per year for the first two years of his six year deal..
Wonder what this will do to Vic's value??…I don't think he's quite the player Kemp is….and Markakis is a right fielder..
Guys get paid way more for their bat than their glove..
Kemp is a very, very good all around player.. I think he's better than Ethier..
Markakis is a talent waiting to happen.. he'll get an MVP season coming up soon
Kemp is getting paid through arbitration year I think, right?
I'm not sure about Kemp….but Markakis is being paid through arbitration for the first two years of his deal…
The Orioles were smart to lock him up when they did…he IS an amazing talent who's only going to get better….and more expensive.

I think the names you've suggested fit well with Brooklyn. My only suggestion would be to spell London properly; it looks teen-mom-y with the y. If you like place names you could also consider Sahara, Astoria, or Cairo in addition to more commonly-heard Adelaide, Carolina, Catalina, or Sydney.
Boyandgirl's suggestions also seem to fit your style.
Congrats!!I hope to be a mom one day. For now I enjoy being a name lover.
My apologies for any typos; i post from my mobile phone.

When a tornado approaches, the rule of thumb is to run for cover. Instead, facing an evening-long barrage of passes, Marion-Franklin opted to run right at Dover Tornadoes quarterback Merrick Mamarella.
"I've never gone up against somebody that throws 60-some times, but you can do one of two things," Red Devils coach Brian Haffele said. "You can either sit back in zone coverage, or you can try to pressure the heck out of him and make it harder for him to find those windows to throw to. I'm a lot more comfortable with the second approach."
Using a gaping size and speed advantage up front, host Marion-Franklin disrupted Mamarella's rhythm and made big plays on both sides of the ball last night for a 34-14 victory in a Division III regional quarterfinal.
The Red Devils (10-1) advanced to meet City League rival Brookhaven in the second round on Friday.
Mamarella completed 31 of 62 passes for 315 yards but was intercepted three times. Using five receivers spread from one sideline to the other, Mamarella tried to attack Marion-Franklin with screens and quick sideline passes, but ultimately, he was under siege more than the Red Devils' secondary.
"We haven't have seen speed like that before," Dover coach Dan Ifft said. "It wasn't just skill-position speed, it was overall speed on both sides of the ball. In our scheme, you hope to throw for a higher percentage and hit a few big ones. We had some opportunities to connect, but we just didn't have the time."
Red Devils cornerback Shannon Royster said he and his teammates weren't overwhelmed by the challenge.
"The game plan was just to handle our part of the field and stay focused," he said. "It was kind of different seeing somebody throwing on every play, but our guys got him often enough that he didn't have much time."
Royster had an interception in the third quarter, when Dover (7-4) seemed to be gathering momentum.
Marion-Franklin quarterback Justin Tyler had his way with Dover.
He completed his first 10 passes and finished 12 of 17 for 212 yards, including an 83-yard pass to Royster for a touchdown late in the third quarter that made it 27-7.
With the Red Devils' two top running options, Landon Yeartie and Jhulyis Monroe, injured, Tyler picked up the slack. He ran for 170 yards on 19 carries with touchdown runs of 4, 10 and 51 yards.
"When two of our key guys went down, I told Justin, 'It's on you,' and he played really, really well. The offensive line did a nice job pass-blocking and Justin was able to make a few of those runs on his own."
Although the size discrepancy was apparent, Tyler said the plan was for Marion-Franklin to take advantage of its speed and wear down Dover.
"On those scrambles, the field was just wide open, and I just tried to use my speed," he said.

Officially Fallen Back To Earth
My Padres are not doing well right now.
I'm not giving up on this team. I am a die-hard Padres fan, and there's no other team I would rather root for. But right now, we are not playing like we can, and we're losing like crazy. I've said it before, I'm not afraid to criticize this team, especially when they losing like this. I'm not going to say everything's peachy when it's not. So, in order to solve our apparent problems, I must rant and it might seem like I'm bashing them. Well, if I do, it's only because I love them. Here we go…
On Saturday night, Chris Young threw an absolute gem, similar to Jake Peavy's the night before. CY went seven innings, six hits, one run, five strikeouts. He was very sharp, and he gave this team a huge chance to win.
What do we do with that chance? Of course, we ruin it. We let it slip away, and we don't capitalize on opportunities to score. Sure, we got an Edgar Gonzalez solo homer in the top of the first but that was it for the entire game!! We left six on. We got five walks and three hits.
But the Dodgers were held down pretty well too. Edwin Moreno and Cla Meredith had excellent outings. The game went to the tenth, tied at one.
Luke Gregerson comes into the game. He gets the bases loaded, no outs. He allows a single and the game. We lost 2-1 in extras. It was so sad!
We left six on. But there was one inning where we got the bases loaded with one out. Randy Wolf was tiring, so a new pitcher was brought in.
My boy Kouz is at the plate. What do you think he does? First pitch from a fresh pitcher with the bases loaded and one out, he hits into a double play. I was not happy with him. Not happy at all.
But he halfway redeemed himself when he barehanded a grounder and got a runner out at first. I still love you, Kouz🙂
Man, I can't believe we only got three hits in the entire game!! That's terribly pathetic!!
Yesterday's game was terribly pathetic too. Chad Gaudin started, throwing 5.2 innings and allowing six runs. Arturo Lopez allowed a run, but Luis Perdomo threw two perfect innings.
This time, we got six hits. Brian Giles and Jody Gerut each hit a solo homer. That was Gillies' first of the year, so maybe he's heating up. Edgar Gonzalez drove in another run with a double.
The game was pretty close for a while, but then the Dodgers pulled ahead and they never looked back. They ended the torturous series with a sweep, 7-3.
I don't know what to do with my Padres. We should have won two, maybe three games in this series. Instead, we won NONE.
It's all about clutch hitting, man. Yesterday, in the sixth, the Dodgers got four runs to pull ahead for good. They got all four of those runs with two outs. The Padres, once they got two outs, they were done. There wasn't a clutch hit in the entire series for the Padres!
But the Dodgers were a lot better than us. They were hitting when the opportunity came to score some runs. They were working together as a team, and they were getting the job done. I didn't feel any of that from the Padres at all!
We couldn't win with Jake Peavy pitching, we couldn't win with Chris Young pitching, and we couldn't even win with Chad Gaudin pitching!! I mean, if we can't win with our aces going out there and having outings like they did, how on earth are we supposed to win with the guys like Kevin Correia and Josh Geer? Baseball is so unfair!
We were 4-for-29 with runners in scoring position for the whole series. That's scary. It's all about the clutch hitting, and that's proof that we weren't. We lost 3.5 games in the standings, and now we're in fourth place in the NL West, only ahead of the Rockies. We're headed for the cellar, that place that I never want to go to again. We've lost five in a row. We're not hitting, and we're not pitching. We had a great little run at the beginning of the season, but that's over now. We've officially fallen back to earth.
Now is the time when winning really matters. Now is the time that we have to fight, and fight hard to stay with the other teams in our division. Now is the time that we have to persevere, not give up, 'cause this is when it's hardest to do so.
Padres fans were hesitant to get too excited about the run we made at the beginning of the season, and you can bet that those fans are retreating, saying that they were right. We're going to have very small crowds for the next few days as we play at home.
We're not playing like we should be. We've got the talent, but something's happened to this team. They are reeling, defeated, struck down. But they aren't giving up. They're going to fight with all they have. Sometimes, it just won't work.
It's times like these when you see who really loves this team and who doesn't. When the times get tough, some fans will abandon their team. But I can't. I couldn't stop supporting this team if I wanted to. The die-hard Padres fans can't and won't leave this team.
We've gone through this before. All of our 40 years of existence have been characterized by losing and failure. We made it through last season. We endured 99 losses and lived to tell. We can do it again if we have to. This team may lose the rest of their games this season, but we'll stick by them. No matter what.
And you know what, it's only the beginning of May. We have a TON of baseball to be played, and there's no reason to believe that we won't get better. I think that we will rebound and have an excellent second half. I still think we can get to the playoffs. This team is too good to stay like this for long. We've seen it. We know they can win on a consistent basis. I think they will go back to doing that soon.
We're playing the Rockies for two games at home starting today. The game tonight is crucial for San Diego to win. We need a win after five straight losses, to get back on track. If we don't win tonight…oh boy. And so, to help the players be motivated to get this win, I propose a few, uh, restrictions until they win:
1) No hot showers until they win.
3) If they don't win during this homestand, they have to travel to Houston in a bus.
4) They will have to put Jeff the Ram's Head in the dugout for full display.
5) No candy in the clubhouse until we win a game.
If they want something to eat, they can have some of Buddy Black's favorite snack:
6) The team needs to get together for a serious meeting.
7) They need to have a ceremonial burning of the sand uniforms.
8) And above all, this team needs to bring out their bats!
Hopefully, my Padres will snap out of it tonight against those Rockies.

I like your restrictions for the team. They should implement every one! Tough series against the Dodgers, but plenty of baseball to come.
Cold showers & the school bus – that should get them! Good luck; I hope your guys get back on track.
JANE, thanks and yes, very true!
JULIA, yeah I hope so! Thanks!
RUSS, thank you🙂
Wow, those would be some tough restrictions – the guys should be glad you're not the manager! You really don't like those sand unis, do you?🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Nice restrictions!! Love the bus to Houston though, personal favorite. I hope the Padres do better, after all, they need to show Hoffman who's on top since he left. Good luck the rest of the season. Hope to see them in October!!
SUE, not only do I hate them, but they always make us lose!!
IRISHSOXKID, thanks so much! Yeah, we need to get it going. I hope to be with my boys in October too🙂
Your restrictions for the team are awesome! Love the yeast extract. But, no candy?! That would turn me into a one-man playoff contender immediately!
First of all, congratulations on being the feature on the front page. I mised it! I get super busy when the team is in town.
Hey I remember when the Padres owned us! We could not win against them. Hang in there. I love your enthusiasm. Emma.
I was hoping you guys would at least split with the Dodgers. Those guys are hottttttt.
~ King of Cali
I think a few more restrictions should actually be in oder. Like sleeping in bunk beds, no massages and a 25% reduction in their wages. That should snap the slackers back into place. I hope the Mets have a similar meeting! Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
ANDREW, good! Now if the whole team was like that, WOW!
EMMA, thanks so much! Yeah, we'll get you guys later in the year🙂
KING OF CALI, I was hoping so too, but oh well.
ASH, those are brilliant restrictions! That should definitely get them winning!
Obviously, we are not doing great. There's been a problem withbour pitching staff and sometimes hitting. Well we just can't tell them to stop! Last nights game. What a heartbreaker. One pitch costed our game. Ugh! I like the restrictions. Our boys need to do them🙂 I'm not giving up and I never will so GO PADRES!

Now that's more like it
Freddy Sanchez went bonkers at the plate going 6-6 with 3 RBI and a homerun. Nate McLouth added a homerun as well and the Pirates beat the Cubs 10-8 at Wrigley. Andy LaRoche also enjoyed contributing to the offensive explosion. He now has a ten game hitting streak with his 3-hit performance on Memorial day.
Paul Maholm started the game for Pittsburgh but Tom Gorzelanny picked up the win. Sean Burnett earned his first career Major League save. Long overdue for a guy who was supposed to be a cornerstone to the Bucs future pitching staff way back in 2003. He only was given the reins last night after Matt Capps was struck with a Geovanny Soto line drive. Capps was pulled from the game and taken to teh hospital for X-rays, they came back negative. (GOOD SIGN).
Just like the rest of the Major League Baseball team the Pirates took part in Memorial Day festivities.
By adorning the red caps the Bucs did not match at all. The ***** Eye for the Straight Guy folks would have a field day making over this uniform combination. But what matters is that those who fought to serve our country were honored. I for one really like the hate. I'm a sucker for flashy hats and that one that Jack Wilson is wearing in the picture to teh right is just that-flashy. I may have to take a trip to the mall and hit up Lids. It would go well for my summer wardrobe, plus it would come in handy come 4th of July.
The Pirates weren't the only ones in the patriotic spirit yesterday.
Although he was the "Southside Slugger" in rocky 3, Clubber Lang appaered on the other side of town. The beloved Mr. T was on hand decked out in perfect Red White and Blue attire to throw out the first pitch in the ballgame. Still looking buff-minus the earings he delievered a perfect strike across the plate.

Freddy Sanchez had a n awesome game. My dad left him out of his fantasy lineup so he was not very happy about that. haha
Good job to the Pirates. Anytime that beats the Cubs is okay in my book.
Nice win by the Bucco's last night. I wish they'd have Mr. T sing every night. Classic stuff…"One, two, three strikes…YOU OUT!".
Gotta respect Mr. T for throwing a strike. I pity the fool who one hops the plate!Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
Great job for Mr. T! And really – would anyone tell him that his outfit was a tad loud?? lol!

Oh, Crap
Actually, the words running through my mind last night were much more, uh, colorful than that, but if I use them here they'll just get asterisked out by the filter that protects our delicate sensibilities.
I was downright giddy after Cliff Lee's Game 1 gem, so giddy in fact that I never got around to blogging about it yesterday. Now that good mood has been replaced by one a bit more foul. I keep reminding myself that my rational mind knew the Phils wouldn't sweep the Yankees, that there would be at least one loss, but that doesn't make it any less unpleasant.
As I have a tendency after a loss to think not-very-nice thoughts about the opposition and the vast majority of their fans, thoughts molded by my formative years spent growing up in northeastern Pennsylvania surrounded during the summer by very annoying denizens of NYC who chose to vacation there while complaining that nothing was as good there as it was in New York, making me wish I could tell them all to go back home if it was so much better there, but…oops, sorry, got sidetracked there a bit…and darn it, I was going to once again abide by my not-saying-anything-at-all-if-I-couldn't-say-anything-nice rule, but my fingers betrayed me.
Anyway, Ryan Howard can add a less glamorous "award" to his NLCS MVP trophy, the dreaded Golden Sombrero.
Yep, Howard struck out four times last night; three times against Burnett and once against Rivera. Not good, Ryan, not good. Please get back in the groove you had against Colorado and L.A.
Recent history would suggest that the Game 2 loss is not a portent of doom – the Phillies lost Game 2 of last year's World Series and this year's NLDS and NLCS, and all of those series ended up turning out pretty good for the boys in red. So I'll get my bad mood out of my system today, and be ready to watch on Saturday as the series moves to Philadelphia (after washing the bad luck out of everything I was wearing last night, of course).

love that Oh Crap title it kind of says it all….LOL, and now there Bank Bound….lets hope it's to our benefit…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Ryan striking out 4 times is a wash.. across the field.. O'Rod struck out 3 … and 6 times in his O for 8 "performance" so far in the WS. Phillies are in a good spot. Keep the faith.
That about sums it up….crap! Hey. check out my Phillies Halloween costumes when you get a chance…
Unfortunately your team got to meet the "AJ" that only shows up every once in a while.
He had a great night, just like Cliff Lee the game before, and put his stamp on the World Series.
But tonight you will have Andy Pettitte, who if the Phillies get to early, can sometimes fold like a deck of cards.
Since we play so much against this Yankee team each season, I can tell you that being patient and hoping to get into the Yankee Bullpen early is a treat, and one the Phillies need to see to get some early leads after the first 4 innings.
But it is on home ground tonight, so it should be a different story.
Rays Renegade
A golden sombrero? Just be grateful that it's a rare occurance.
When you have K-Mark as the most productive hitter on your team, you get used to those.
And New Yorkers all like to complain…it's something in the water here. But I like it better in Pennsylvania myself. Minus the Pittsburgh Penguins, though.

Alcohol and Pregnancy
We know that drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause birth defects; the government-mandated warnings on alcoholic beverage labels constantly remind us of that fact. But toxicologists remind us that the poison is in the dose: what is the dose of alcohol that causes birth defects? Heavy drinking can cause fetal alcohol syndrome, but there is no evidence that light to moderate drinking can cause it. Alcohol has been implicated in a number of other adverse effects on pregnancy and on the fetus. We simply don't know if there is a threshold dose below which alcohol intake is safe, so the default position of most medical authorities has been to advise total abstinence during pregnancy. This is not a truly evidence-based recommendation, but rather an invocation of the precautionary principle. Those advising complete abstinence have been accused of paternalism and bias by wine-lovers and other critics, for instance here and here.
The literature on alcohol and pregnancy is extensive and confusing. It addresses many different endpoints, looking at effects on children and on the pregnancy itself. The studies are inconsistent in how they define "moderate" or "light" drinking, and they rely on self-reports that may not be accurate.
It would be impossible to read and accurately summarize such a large body of literature (over 21,000 hits on PubMed!), but here are a few examples that illustrate the scope, diversity, and conflicting results of these studies: (more…)

My 7 m.o. has five teeth (2 bottom, 3 top) with three more on the way. Needless to say, nursing has been quite a challenge, as he tends to "chew" (not bite, as the action coincides with his sucking) on my nipple. I've tried all the tips to be found here on biters, and nothing's worked. :( :banghead
Now I'm really worried about my left breast, as it's the one that receives the most abuse. Fortunately, he hasn't drawn blood (yet), but I'm very worried that he is damaging the milk ducts. I've noticed that my let-down on that side is nearly nonexistent, and the flow is very slow. This is a definite change for me.
What can I do?? I'm really tired of my body being abused in this manner, and am half tempted to exclusively pump from now on. What I'm really worried about is that there's permanent damage done to that breast, and should I have another child, it will be completely useless to BF on that side.

After teaching in Chicago at the Institute of Design and later at the venerable Black Mountain College in North Carolina, Emerson Woelffer moved to Los Angeles to teach at Chouinard and later at Otis, where he was responsible for bringing European modernism to two generations of students. Considered by his pupils, Ed Ruscha and Joe Goode among them, as the grandfather of Los Angeles modernism, Woelffer spanned the divide between abstract expressionism and surrealism. His boldly colored abstractions combine deliberation and chance, artistic gesture and purpose. He was a guest artist at Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1969–70, and though his lithographs do not share the relief-like quality of his collages, they do employ the bright colors and abstracted forms so central to Woelffer's "abstract surrealism," as he termed it.

Aspera fasp* Big Data Tech for Ultra-High-Speed Data Transfer
One major challenge in high-performance cloud computing is being able to move big data in and out of the backend data center. While high-performance servers and hardware are already deployable inside the data center, and WAN bandwidth can be provisioned beyond multi-Gbps, existing transport technology cannot fully utilize the end-to-end capacity provided by the underlying hardware platform, particularly over a wide area.
Aspera develops high-speed data transfer technologies that provide speed, efficiency, and bandwidth control over any file size, transfer distance, network condition, and storage location (for example, on premise or cloud). Aspera's patented fasp* transport technology is designed and implemented to have no theoretical throughput limit. Maximum transfer speeds are limited only by the available network bandwidth and the hardware resources at both ends of the transfer. Aspera's distance-neutral transfer performance means users can expect to achieve the same transfer performance over the WAN as they do over the LAN.
Phase II of the Aspera-Intel investigation focused on an experimental integration with Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel® DPDK), which made it possible to directly control the network interface controller (NIC), thereby bypassing the kernel net-working stack. This integration allowed Aspera to overcome the packet processing bottleneck for single-stream transfers, minimizing CPU, memory, and I/O bottlenecks.

Three found guilty for causing $78,000 in damage to house during teen drinking party
DORSET Two Manchester men and one Dorset man pleaded no contest Tuesday for their part in having a party at a Dorset home last year that caused $78,000 in damage, according to Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage.
Four men were charged in June in Bennington criminal court with one felony count each of unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 damage. William T. Bazyk, 19, of Manchester, John OLeary, 19, of Dorset, and Zachary Scholander, 21, of Manchester, entered no-contest pleas on Tuesday.
The fourth man, Trevor Wilson, 17, of Manchester, is scheduled change his plea on Friday.
The charges against Bazyk and OLeary were amended to misdemeanor counts of unlawful mischief resulting in damage greater than $250. Both men were sentenced to serve three to six months in prison. All of the time was suspended, and they will spend a year on probation, write letters of apology to the homeowner and perform 100 hours of community service.
Scholander entered into a slightly different plea arrangement, in part because he was older than the others and in part because he had a criminal history for a marijuana charge. Scholander pleaded no contest to the felony count, but his sentencing was deferred for two years.
If Scholander stays out of legal trouble for two years, the case will be sealed and removed from his record.
Also, a fifth person, Elijah Brown, 17, of Manchester, was charged as a youthful offender. The case against Brown was moved to juvenile court and is not part of the public record.
According to affidavits filed in the case, the party, which they said was primarily attended by students of Burr and Burton Academy in Manchester, took place March 29 at the Dorset home of Browns grandparents, who were not in Dorset at the time.
Police said they were able to learn who attended the party because one person had left behind a wallet. In the course of the investigation, police discovered most of the young people at the party were Burr and Burton students, but some, such as Bazyk, OLeary and Scholander, were older.
Police said the damage to the house and its contents was extensive and included a television set and a chandelier, both of which had been smashed.
On Tuesday, Marthage said the family had provided her office with records to indicate the total damage was $78,000. Bazyk, OLeary, Scholander and Wilson were ordered to collectively pay the $1,000 deductible that was not covered by homeowners insurance.
However, Marthage also said she believed there was a civil suit in the works that could result in the four men having to pay for more of the damage.
Judge Nancy Corsones said she was willing to accept the three no contest pleas entered Tuesday because she understood the defendants were probably facing civil lawsuits. A no contest plea has the same effect on a defendant and his criminal liability in a criminal case as a guilty plea but cant be used in a civil case to prove liability.
Similarly, Corsones said she understood if none of the men wanted to say anything before sentencing because of the lawsuit. Only OLeary spoke, apologizing briefly to the court and the homeowners.
Marthage said the homeowners had been in constant contact with the victims rights advocate in her office and supported the resolution because they wanted the defendants to accept responsibility but didnt want to, essentially, destroy anyones life going forward.

I've decided to stop nursing this week. Joci is 18 months old and whenever I'm home (I'm usually out of the house 10-12 hrs a day for work) she is asking to nurse every 10 minutes. It's gotten to the point that I don't sit on the couch at night because she associates sitting on the couch with nursing. I stopped pumping when she turned one because she never really liked bottles and I ended up with ~150+ ounces that I had to waste. When I've traveled for work, she's been ok with not nursing during the night, but when I'm home she wants to nurse 3-5 times per night. She's still in our bed and I'd like to transition her to sharing a room/bed with her 4 1/2 yr old sister.
So, I'd like some words of reassurance from those that have gone cold turkey - I know the next week will be miserable, but I think it's what we need to do.

Drake will use it to host training sessions for its tax preparation software, which is used by 40,000 clients nationally, mostly accountants and professional tax preparers.
The 100-person training facility is equipped with live-streaming video feed, WiFi, a projection screen and stadium seating. The building is also available for outside organizations and the general public to rent out at what Drake is calling reasonable rates.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not just for us,ŌĆØ said Christine Reynolds, education director for Drake Software. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs for the community too.ŌĆØ
The 9,000-squre-foot facility in the heart of Franklin will allow it to hold larger trainings sessions close to home, Reynolds said. That may give a boost to hospitality and other types of businesses in town.
Drake staff currently travel the country to conduct trainings and seminars for its 40,000 or so clients. In May alone, the company has sessions scheduled in California, Wisconsin, Maine and Florida. Although trips wonŌĆÖt stop, hosting larger sessions in Franklin is now possible with a dedicated training building.
ŌĆ£People from all over the United States would come to Franklin,ŌĆØ Reynolds said. ŌĆ£This is the only facility of its kind in the area.ŌĆØ
Before, the company held two training sessions a month in Franklin from spring through fall but could only support 20 to 30 attendees. With a 100-person training room, the company can shorten its waiting list, Reynolds said.
For Macon County, the facility adds one more reason to visit Franklin and increases the potential for business retreats, training conferences and other programs to chose the location as a destination, said the countyŌĆÖs Economic Development Director Tommy Jenkins. He said it will compliment existing attractions such as the areaŌĆÖs outdoor offerings and Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center.
The training center will appeal to companies holding a business retreat, since it offers better technology that a typical hotel conference room.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just not near the capability that this facility has in terms of technology,ŌĆØ Jenkins said. ŌĆ£This has the potential to make Franklin a destination for companies looking to conduct business training and seminars.ŌĆØ
Furthermore, Jenkins said, it is always good news when the areaŌĆÖs largest private employer is expanding. Drake Software has some 350 employees, not including its sister companies in the telecommunications, printing, technology and entertainment sectors.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre vital to our economic growth,ŌĆØ Jenkins said.

when pumping at work, it seems like my milk supply is decreasing. I pump twice during the day and breastfeed my baby 3 times. Is there something I can do to keep my milk supply up and have enough milk to feed him
when pumping at work, it seems like my milk supply is decreasing. I pump twice during the day and breastfeed my baby 3 times. Is there something I can do to keep my milk supply up and have enough milk to feed him
I take fenugreek and drink Mother's Milk tea every day to help keep my supply up. You can get both at Whole Foods.
How old is your baby? What type of pump are you using?
Oh my gosh I am having the same problem and that is why I jumped to this forum too! My baby is 7 months old and I returned to work when he was 14 weeks. I started out pumping 4 times a day and only got 7 oz total (I have a history of milk supply issues so this is a lot actually for baby number 3) But now it has really dwindled to about 3 oz a day. Fortunately I had frozen supply but have had to use formula as well. I pump again before going to bed at night (I nurse him as much as he wants once I get home from work. I am still taking Alfalfa and Blessed Thistle but Fenugreek didn't agree with me. I'm back on raspberry tea as well, which was originally recommended by my lactation consultant.
Does anyone know, is it better to pump more often for less minutes, or more minutues but less frequently? Aftter the breast has expressed all the milk should I keep pumping to tell my body that I need it to make more?
So glad I'm not the only one with this issue...
I had the most luck with pumping more often. I hardly ever had a second let down while pumping. I worked from 8-4 and pumped 3x about 10-20min each. I would continue pumping after a let down to let the breast know that you need a little more.
A good pump is essential. You want an electric piston double pump. These have shown to be the most effective. You might also try using a larger flange to be sure you are reaching deeper areas of your most accessible milk ducts. The key is to frequently empty the breast. Pumping less frequently than you would ordinarily nurse (average 8-12 times in 24 hours, so figure out what that would be based on your unique schedule) will have a deleterious effect. I often recommend that a mom pump an additional 2 or 3 minutes after her milk stops dripping or flowing. Just to "put a period on the end of the sentence." Of course, you want to have sprays of milk when you pump.
You might also try pump-nursing, reverse cycle nursing, and taking a weekend milk holiday (one or two day's worth of breastfeeding and resting).
Pumping at work is a real challenge - I work with staff that are in the office and others that are out making home visits, so they can't schedule themselves as easily.
There are two parts to the pumping - one is the pump itself - as it gets older, or as moms use the equipment, I find at times the pumps get "tired" and/or the moms are not as careful assembling it. Make sure the equipment is working right, or you'll be blaming yourself when it's not you at all! Some pieces tear, others are loose, tubing gets damp, motors just wear out!
The other part is the mom's supply AND her let-down. Oxytocin must be released in order to have a let-down and at times when things are stressful it isn't working!
Some moms start doing a particular thing - getting a glass of water, massaging their breasts, etc. prior to BREASTFEEDING so their bodies get almost an automatic response to this action and a let-down (careful, or you'll be letting down at a meeting when you get a glass of water!).
Some moms like to have something that smells like their baby (smell is a much more complete memory-trigger than sight).
However, some find that thinking of the baby stresses them - and reading a magazine on a totally different subject (of course I get stressed looking at decorator magazines and realizing what my house looks like - so pick your magazine!).
Some moms find that massaging their nipples is also a way to quickly trigger a release oxytocin.
Some moms have found they need additional help and use of fennugreek or even Reglan (moms I've worked with whose babies could not breastfeed due to illness or oral malformations were able to pump x 1 year using these intermittently) as additions to the ideas mentioned previously. The important thing to keep in mind when using them is to be very aware that nothing you take internally will help with milk production if it is not done in conjunction with effective milk removal!
ALSO don't forget that every ounce you give your baby is "worth" about $3.50 (if you had to purchase human milk from a milk bank)!
VALUE what you DO give your baby...realize you are breastfeeding not just breast milk feeding when you are home - and that is a very important relationship. It is valuable for many reasons - physical, oral, emotional and spiritual. Some moms find they can't pump at work at all - and their babies get formula when they are at work and breastfeed when they are at home. I've known construction workers and teachers to do this - for over 2 years! I've also known of babies who just "wait for mom" and breastfeed all evening and night - growing and gaining weight perfectly by taking in all they need when mom is home.
Breastfeeding and "re-connecting" with your baby after a hard day away is VERY good, for both of you! Praise yourself for what you DO! Give yourself a pat on the back and know you're a good mom!

My baby is 3 months old and in total I can pump 9 oz during the day, and 5 oz in the morning before I leave the house. Does that sound normal?
Baby is 16 weeks - I am using a Medela Life in style pump. It is borrowed however.Originally Posted by LLL_Jolie
When faced with milk supply challenges at work, many mothers find that the best solution is to figure out a way to add a pumping session. To stimulate milk production you need to frequently empty the breasts, that sends the signal to your body to make more milk. Often moms find that they can reduce the length of time they're pumping and just pump more frequently to boost supply. Other moms find that pumping on one side while the baby nurses on the other can provide a little extra milk, particularly to get through a time of lower supply.
Another point worth noting is that many women experience some type of "pump slump" during pumping, where their supply seems to dip. There are a variety of reasons for this, and it can be very unsettling, particularly if things have been going well thus far.
The tips other posters have had are valuable too, double check the pump (is it a Pump In Style? I'm not familiar with the "Life in Style" you mentioned, but I'm not up on the latest models right now.) Some mothers also find that after a time their body becomes a bit desensitized to the pump they have been using. It may be worthwhile to look into obtaining a rental pump for a month or two and see if you see any change in output. Rental pumps (aka "Hospital grade") have a little more power and may be better at stimulating supply in some women. A local LLL leader or International Board Certified Lactation Consulant (IBCLC) can help you find a rental in your area, and some WIC clinics provide them for their clients.
Some other things to consider are to make sure the enviornment in which you pump is as comfortable and safe as possible (some women find that they tense up if they are pumping somewhere they think they may get walked in on.) Some women find that doing a gentle breast compression on the breast can help bring more milk down. Others find that tinkering with the suction power and suction speed can help (e.g., start with light suction and fast speed, once the letdown happens, increase the suction power to your comfort, decrease the speed a bit. When the flow slows, switch back to light suction and fast speed again to see if you can tell your body to have another letdown.) Are you double pumping when you pump? That stimulates the release of more prolactin, the milk-making hormone.
Do you think any of these ideas might help for you or anyone else who is facing this situation?

Barlow trustees discuss trash pickup
BARLOW – Heated words and apologies were exchanged at Monday night's Barlow Township trustees meeting as a crowd of around 70 people packed the Barlow Volunteer Fire Department building to discuss the future of the community's trash pickup service.
The meeting came on the heels of other contentious township meetings where residents voiced concerns over being forced to sign with a specific contractor and over the transparency of the proceedings.
Township Trustee Darren Roddy started the meeting by apologizing to residents who had been offended at the last meeting.
"We would never call any of our citizens a thief," said Roddy, referring to a woman who had allegedly been called a "thief by deception".
The remark had been in reference to the sharing of trash services by neighbors, relatives, and businesses, a practice which is not allowed by most trash providers, but still widely practiced throughout the community.
The purpose of Monday's meeting was to allow residents to comment on a contract put forth by Rumpke, who offered the lowest bid for the service at the Dec. 28 meeting. Rumpke's bid of $12.20 a month for removal of one 35-gallon container of trash beat Kimble's $16.30 and Waste Management's $16.50 bid for the same service.
If approved, Rumpke's pick-up could save some residents more than 50 percent monthly, pointed out township clerk Jack Marks.
However, the move would also disallow any other waste pick-up services from operating inside the township, said Roddy.
"I've got a guy who is just getting into business and we're putting him out of business before he can even start," said township resident Joan Williams in reference to the independent service provider she uses.
Among other things, residents also expressed concern over the contract's language.
"You got to trash that contract and start over," said resident Harold Kesterson.
Specifically, residents took issue with wording in the contract that did not fully address who could be exempt from the service, what types of trash containers had to be used, and what the responsibilities of the township trustees would be in regard to enforcing payment.
"I have a real problem with you people working for the garbage company," said resident John Miller.
The contract reads that "the Township will endeavor to help encourage the payment for the delinquent account", which Miller and other residents argued would force the trustees into becoming bill collectors for the garbage company.
The wording of the potential Barlow contract is similar to the contract that Rumpke has had in place with the city of Marietta for nearly five years, said Rumpke representative Tom Wallace. Rumpke has never asked for Marietta City Council's help in demanding payment on the company's behalf, he said.
Added Roddy, "We're not going to go and police everybody and Tom understands that."
Additionally, residents were worried that the contract would no longer allow them to leave out bags of trash for pick up and would instead force them to purchase specific metal or plastic containers.
"I can tell you, we pick up 35-gallon garbage bags. We pick up Wal-Mart bags. The only thing we ask is that it be contained somehow.
We just can't go around picking up piles of trash," said Wallace.
Perhaps the biggest concern for many residents was who will be allowed exceptions from the contract. Many residents said that they currently do not subscribe to a trash service and do not wish to in the future.
"I want to know when all three of you are going to be down here to sign it. I want all three of you to sign it cause some of you might not be in here much longer," said resident Chad Lane to the trustees in reference to an exemption.
In the current contract language, the trustees would be able to grant exemptions for customers who could prove that they could legally dispose of their waste in another manner.
However, the language does not get into specifics of who qualifies for a legal exemption, how many can be granted, and how many trustees need to approve the exemption. Trustees Roddy and Richard Best are generally in favor of moving toward a single contractor while trustee John Hannan is opposed to the move.
"I think you're contract needs to include language to come up with a policy of who you're going to exempt and include the why and the how and the what for," said resident Pat Martin.
Roddy agreed it was a good idea. He also pointed out the current contract has been reviewed and approved by the Washington County Prosecutor's Office.
Finally, several residents at Monday's meeting said that trustees had not done enough to get the word out about the meeting.
"If something is going to involve the entire township there should be a better way of notifying the community," said resident Kenny Meek.
Some residents suggested sending out a mailing to all registered voters. Roddy said the township had considered township-wide mailings, but not voted on it.
Marks pointed out information about the meeting, the bids and the full language of the contract had been posted on the township's website and notice of the meeting had been posted in the paper and in notices around the community.
"Some of the older people can't get on a computer," shouted one resident.
Others said they do not get the paper and had not seen notices.
"I didn't even know there were trustee meetings and how often they were," added resident Diana Stalnaker.
Resident Carol Zimmer said the trustees could post notices on every electric pole in the township and still no one would attend the trustee meetings.
"If you want to get involved, you need to get involved," said Zimmer.
Despite vocal concerns over the plan, several attendees were present to voice support for the plan.
"I look around this meeting. This is one of the biggest turnouts I've ever seen at one of these meetings. It seems to me, we're pretty well informed," said resident Dennis Biddinger, who voiced approval for the project.
Biddinger's current trash service has raised prices the past six out of eight quarters, he said.
Rumpke's bid would lock customers into a single flat rate for three years.
"I've talked to people in Watertown and they are very pleased," said one resident, voicing her approval of the proposed move.
Nearby Watertown and Waterford Townships have both signed contracts with a single waste provider.
No decision was made on the contract.
Roddy said the next step will likely be reviewing the wording of the contract, as per request of the citizens. A decision has to be made on the contract within 45 days, he said.
Regular meetings of the Barlow Township trustees are on the second Monday of each month at 9 a.m. unless that Monday is a holiday. The meetings are held at the township hall on Warrior Drive and the public is welcome at all public meetings.

Marquette County is home to dozens of beautiful beaches. Today, guest blogger Jesse Land highlights a few of his favorites.
Black Rocks Beach
Located within Presque Isle Park, this rock beach is a unique find treasured by rock collectors for it's huge and vast collection of smooth Lake Superior stones. Nestled between two cliffs, Black Rocks Beach is a scenic spot all on it's own. However, if you happen to visit on a warm summer day you're likely to see the young (and young at heart) cliff diving off the Black Rocks rock formation right in front of the beach!
McCarty's Cove
There's a reason McCarty's Cove is one of the most popular (and most photographed) beaches in the Upper Peninsula. With it's rock islands, sand point, proximity to the Marquette bike path and view of the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse from anywhere on the beach, this beach is tough to beat.
Pebble Beach
Another popular spot for rock hounds, Pebble Beach is located a little north of McCarty's Cove (just past Picnic Rocks). This beach is has quite a bit of sand but the sand gives way to smooth stones where Lake Superior meets the land. The pebbles continue into the water so if you plan on wading here, I'd recommend that you bring your water shoes.
South Beach
This wide, flat beach is located on Marquette's south side. It's locally known to be one of the more "kid friendly" beaches, as the water near the beach is very shallow. Playground equipment dots the section of this beach near the lifeguard stand, while the section further south is wide open, dog friendly and not watched by a lifeguard.
Sunset Beach
One of the best beaches for sunset watching near Marquette, this five mile stretch of pristine Upper Peninsula beach is dog friendly and, because it's a little out of town, often not very busy. A sandy bottom greets you as you wade into Lake Superior. And due to the expansiveness of this particular locale, this beach is blessed with a better than average view of Lake Superior and the surrounding area.
Teal Lake Beach
This small but pleasant beach is located in Negaunee, just a few miles away from Marquette. A shallow, sandy entry makes this a kid friendly beach and it's distance from Marquette means it's often less busy than some of the other beaches. Also, because Teal Lake is an inland Lake, its water is often a bit warmer than Lake Superior!
Details about all of these beaches, plus photos, and a map to twelve waterfalls and thirteen scenic views are all included on the Marquette County Waterfall Map. Get one for free by calling the Marquette Visitor's Bureau at (906) 228-7749.
