Skip to comments.OBAMA FAIL: Obama Hit With Technical Difficulities While Bashing Bush
Posted on 08/30/2010 11:24:35 AM PDT by i88schwartz
President Obama did several sound checks while attempting to deliver the following line hitting the Bush administration: "It took nearly a decade to dig the hole that we're in."
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
lol Is god fed up with Obama?
You do mean God, don't you?
No, it only took from January 5, 2007 until now.
Now, his low IQ and utter lack of teleprompter is apparently caused by his microphone.
When is Barry going to man up and take responsibility for anything? I guess when you're the product of affirmative action and you've had everything handed to you because you're black, you dont learn to take responsibility for your failures. All of Barry's life, someone has swept his failures under the carpet and kept allowing him to advance way beyond his level of competence.
BTW, anyone seen that pic of Barry riding a bike on Drudge? What a girl.
The idiot can't even read from a piece of paper.....I abhor him..........
He could have added, "directed by the same shadow government that directs me only I'm doing a better job at digging that hole than Bush did!!"
I'm not proud of my president.
This guy is a walking embarrassment as are the people who voted for him.
Sorry, Obamaloon.
Watching you, I'm aware of only one hole.
A hole that has a three-letter word preceding it.
I cant even look at him. He is an embarrassment.
"It took nearly a decade to dig the hole that we're in."
Obama over estimated the resiliency of the economy and killed the recovery. Nothing he says can change that.
Did you hear him say "wreck havoc"? LOL, the idiot can't even read his teleprompter.
Maybe Tom Hanks should do Obama's soundcheck...
"Check. Check 1. Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check 2. Sibilance. Sibilance."
Now here comes Obama and, uh, uh ... well .... uh ...
This is just what the Left deserves. Payback time. The smartest guy they have is a blithering embarrassment.
What a jackass.
Im not proud of my president.
I'll go you one better....He is NOT my president, as he has no right to the position. We have an imposter in the oval office.
Wonder why Obey-me is riding a woman's bike?
Man up obama! You POS weasel
Maybe he doesn't want to hurt the beaver under his pants...ouch!
I think God is trying to tell you something, Obama.
lol sorry..yes I do..my bad
More like "let me be clear" my teleprompter is down. I need to stall.
Is this still going out to the press? LOL. Right, you wouldn't want the press to misrepresent you. LOL
He misses Larry Sullivan.
Just joshin ya.
My middle name is "Typo".
Now....when it comes to obama....lower case is the rule. :-)
I tend to just go with "Stroker" when referring to him, though.
One of my favorites.
"This guy is a walking embarrassment as are the people who voted for him."
The folks (his term) that voted for him are the real problem. They will still be around gumming up the works (voting and procreating) long after our Secret Service escorts him (and his pet Wookie) out of OUR White House.
I think he was losing his place on the teleprompter but tried to blame it on the sound. Man, he's such a dufus. And those who still support him are brain damaged. There can be no other reason.
and I can't stand the sound of his voice.
That would be the one clear thing the man has ever said.
Unfortunately you are correct.
There - fixed it for him ...
Yes, and it's a girl's bike!
I like when he says "Let me try this one more time"
Then what?
He's just gonna walk-off like he's auditioning for Cats?
And the weasels in the media would like us to believe that Michelle is attractive???
"BTW, anyone seen that pic of Barry riding a bike on Drudge? What a girl."
"Yes, and it's a girl's bike!"
Y'all didn't really expect to see Stroker on a bike meant for a man, did ya?
But many male bike frames look like that...these days.
Actually...I'm pretty glad they do too!!
"...is it still going to the press..."
Freudian slip?
There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the second "test" was because the teleprompter went past where he was in the speech and he couldn't finish the sentence on his own. He is reading, and doesn't even know what he's saying. If these were something he believed and maybe had a hand in writing he could have easily finished the sentence, but he was LOST without the teleprompter...Thats why he hit it the second time.....Not sure about the first time...
Ouch, that's sad.
He messed up his own punch line. 3x in a row!
Funny it only took OBAMA 19 months to make it twice as bad
I HAVE NO president.

Shortly thereafter, the grease ignited, damaging the stove and the wall behind it.
Fire fighters were able to put the fire out before it spread, leaving damage estimated at $3,000.

A summer onslaught of television attack ads against his opponents has not improved the standing of Gov. Corbett in his run for a second term against Democrat Tom Wolf, according to a poll released Thursday.
Wolf held a lead of 25 percentage points in the Franklin and Marshall College Poll - 49 percent to 24 percent, with 25 percent undecided. That has budged little from the college's last survey in June.
Just over a quarter of respondents, or 26 percent, said Corbett had done a good enough job to earn reelection.
"Nothing has happened to change the voters' judgment of Tom Corbett," said pollster G. Terry Madonna. "He has not gotten a game change, something to get voters to give him a second look."

30 fact-based movies, and their detractors, over 30 years
"Zero Dark Thirty" comes to theaters Friday with lots of anticipation - and lots of baggage.
The drama by Oscar winners Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, about the hunt for and the killing of Osama bin Laden, is based on a true story. But it's also a movie, and, in these fractured times, it's also the focus of controversy - both because it shows U.S. interrogators using torture to get information, and because, some legislators charged last week, the CIA may have misled filmmakers by suggesting that torture was used at all. »Read Full Article(1)
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article
Theatre Gigante taps dark, creative energy in 'Electra'
While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Power and Influence in South-Eastern Europe, 16-19th c.
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
In the Early Modern Period and during the nineteenth century the south-eastern corner of Europe is the meeting point for three Imperial models – the Ottoman, the Habsburg and the Russian. Despite the different religions to which the ruling dynasties belong, their ways of exercising power in South-Eastern Europe demonstrate many similarities. This specific characteristic remains on the whole unchanged even after the emergence of the newly established, autonomous and independent states in the Balkans, where modern European institutions co-exist with the traditions of informal power and authority.
The task of this academic conference is to examine the history of the different forms of power and influence, of authority and informal might in South-Eastern Europe. The broad chronological sweep of four hundred years will allow us to distinguish long term tendencies as well as to locate processes with a shorter life span. The Peninsula, on the other hand, is a contact centre between the Ottoman Balkans, Habsburg South-Eastern Europe and the Russian lands bordering on the Lower Danube. This is also the place where non-imperial statehood could exist – small autonomous lands, vassal principalities and independent monarchies. The established social order in that region, which displays varied patterns of confession and civilization, is moving along the road of modernization, though at different speeds. South-Eastern Europe, however, still preserves those elements of formal and informal power and influence which bring the region closer to the Levantine-Oriental traditions typical for the Eastern Mediterranean than to the more structured and, in terms of power, more clearly defined societies of Central and Western Europe.
1. Formal power in South-Eastern Europe
- Men of power, state and stately power in the Ottoman Balkans
- State, state power and statesmen in Habsburg South-Eastern Europe
- Men of power, state power and governors in the Russian lands of the European South-East
- State power, statesmen and the methods of rule in autonomous lands and provinces
2. Informal power in South-Eastern Europe
- Autonomous lands and self-ruling local and religious communities in the European Southeast
- Corruption, protection and clientelism as an informal influence on power in South-Eastern Europe (the imperial characteristics of the monarchy of the Ottomans, Habsburgs and Romanovs)
- Protégées, favourites and mistresses in the European South-East (the informal use of power)
- Formal and informal power as interlinked characteristic of the modernization process in South-Eastern Europe
3. Secret Power in South-Eastern Europe
- Ideas of Empire and Imperial influence
- Diplomats and consuls as instruments of influence on power
- Creeds and hidden power
- Espionage and intelligence in South-Eastern Europe
The conference will be held on 8-9th October 2010 in the Main Building of the University of Sofia. Participants are invited to present papers of about 20 minutes on the above-mentioned themes. The working languages of the conference are Bulgarian and English. The papers will be published in a separate volume.
Deadline for the call for papers is May 31th 2010. Applications should include an abstract up to 500 words, current post and contact address and be sent to one of the following email addresses: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications in writing should be submitted to the following address: International Conference "Power and Influence", University of Sofia "Sv. Kliment Ohridski", Faculty of History, 15 Tzar Osvoboditel Blvd., 1504 Sofia, Bulgaria.

HP exec hints at larger role for webOS

Microsoft today turned to a new defensive measure to help users ward off ongoing attacks exploiting a known bug in Internet Explorer (IE).
Microsoft today patched three vulnerabilities in Windows, one that could be exploited by attackers who dupe users into visiting a malicious Web site.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Monday that he has decided to replace Bob Muglia as the head of the Server and Tools Business, and that Muglia will leave Microsoft this summer instead of taking on a new role at the company.
You knew this was coming.
More than 80 tablet computers were shown at the four-day International Consumer Electronics Show, and one expert predicted some wouldn't last beyond the event.
Despite Linux's growing popularity, trade shows like CES tend to be dominated by Microsoft and other vendors of closed-source products.
It's been an interesting week watching all the many products coming out of this year's CES, with all their shiny new features and innovative appeal.
Microsoft's announcement yesterday at CES that its next version of Windows will run on the ARM chip architecture was the wrong message at the wrong place, said an industry analyst.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer positioned Windows 7 as an operating system that can drive new and innovative products, as the company tries to fend off competition from tablet computers based on software from Google and Apple.
Ericuse165 asked the Windows forum if it's wise to upgrade his netbook's OS from Windows 7 Starter to a more powerful version.
Opera devotees will be glad to hear that the browser is coming to tablets running Android and Windows 7, with the same features of its mobile software on other platforms.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Skip to comments.Senate OKs Border Fence, Mulls Citizenship
Posted on 05/17/2006 12:32:49 PM PDT by BenLurkin
click here to read article
" Furthermore there are always maximum penalties and or penalties on the books that judges see fit to give a lesser degree of punishment (and that still isn't amnesty).
When one gets a speeding ticket and has to pay a hefty fine but is put on probation for 6 months without accruing *points*...is that amnesty? "
No, since that is the normal punishment for such a minor offense. And when one is deported for violating the immigration law, that is not amnesty, but the normal punishment. But if you let violent murderers off that light (fine and probabtion) in violation of sentencing guidelines, it would/should be called amnesty or pardon.
The punishment/cure for illegal immigration is deportation, so letting illegal immigrants become legal without deportation *is* amnesty. Anything other than deportation or jail is a form of amnesty, the punishment is forgone.
1) there is ZERO punishment in the 2006 amnesty provisions. It is voluntary. Nobobdy is forced to get an H2C visa and then get citizenship. No judge makes them do this, its an application they send it.
2) $2000 is far from hefty. It is smaller than the cost of going through a legal H1B visa, when you add up the fees and lawyer costs! Frankly, its little more than a processing fee.
3) This bill is structured exactly like the 1986 bill, which everybody calls amnesty - you are supposed to learn English, you have some residency reqt, you have some work reqt, and you cant be a criminal; oh, and pay some fine/fee. WE DID THIS IN 1986 AND IT WAS CALLED AMNESTY.
4) It's a phony talkping-point of the pro-amnesty side, including Bush, to talk of "automatic path to citizenship" as what amnesty means. Wrong.Even if it didnt have an automatic path to citizenship, it would be amnesty, since it is forgoing the punishment (deportation). Even if we didnt have the social security giveaway, and even if we didnt let them go straight into permanent residency status within 6 years, it would be amnesty.
5) But wait there is more! ... The Senate in a huge giveaway now granted credit for fraulent deposits of Soc Sec taxes to illegal immigrants, meaning this - they pay a small fine of $2000, and get access to - welfare benefits, social security, medicare, etc. $2000 is not a fine, its like a country club or Sams Club membership fee.
The Senate bill loads up a whole bunch of goodies to 'entice' people into legalized status, it goes beyond amnesty, to a huge giveaway/reward for illegals.
So dont call it amensty if you wish - call it Sham-nesty.
"Furthermore the notion that we are going to round up 11 million people and remove / deport them is simply silly."
Yes, it is quite silly of the pro-amnesty crowd to use this strawman, as if the only choices are mass deportation or turning all 11 million into citizens. Ted Kennedy used this phony argument on the Senate, and it was debunked brilliantly by Sen Sessions, will sharea in followup.
And plenty of other smart conservatives would beg to differ with what you posted as well - The notion that good people can't come to differing solutions (in degree) on how best to handle this 40 year in the making problem is just silly (and that is the position, those on your side are trying to take).
The reality is we have a terribly flawed temporary worker program, a border security problem along with both a legal and illegal immigrant problem. These are all 40 (20) year in the making complex problems.
GWB is using commonsense to propose a systematic and comprehensive program at addressing all these issues. All are in need of reform. Waiting and pushing off certain aspects of the currently flawed system makes little sense.
The notion that we can't do this...until this is done (from a segment of the right...is not only foolishness it is simply a new ploy at moving the goal posts).
It resembles the foolish DEMs when it comes to tax-cuts..."we must address the deficit first ...before we can even talk about tax-cuts"....that is complete economic foolishness......Just as is the notion we can't or shouldn't have a comprehensive reform bill passed with regard to legal and illegal immigration along with the currently terribly flawed temp worker program.
You clearly have no memory of past attempts to "comprehensively" fix our immigration problem. Even Reagan was suckered into it. Mark my words, if we have a solution that "comprehensively" grants amnesty while promising to increase border security and enforcement, the ONLY part that will stick will be the amnesty.
And pray tell WHY if this problem is 40 years in the making the sudden need to get it all done in one fell swoop? If we secure the border the pressure to rush into this will immediatly begin to fall. As the inflow stops attrition will start to lower the numbers. That will make it harder for the illegals to "swim in the sea". Itwill lower their promise of growing political clout. It will lower the strain on all our social services. We can actually have a rational debate on who stays and who goes, and what kind of immigration policy we actually desire.
You're wrong -
And pray tell WHY if this problem is 40 years in the making the sudden need to get it all done in one fell swoop?
1. Because it is clearly a problem and this President looks to address problems head on and full (not simply pass things on to the next admin). 2. Because a segment of the base has decided to foolishly hang on the cross of immigration martyrdom -
Lastly the need for reform regarding our currently flawed temporary worker program is terribly needed - A sizable portion of those currently here illegally did not come here from day one "illegally"...they were simply part of a terribly flawed workers program and never left!
Securing the border along with fixing the current temp worker program is needed. There is no reason to do one without the other.
Furthermore making a pragmatic decision on what best to do with those currently here is another decision that might as well get done now...not later.
Lastly if the GOP base foolishly puts the DEMs in control of Congress in Nov over this issue we are worse then the DEM base itself -
Our soldiers off fighting a war deserve better then for us to cut their legs out from underneath them in the middle of this war...by putting into office the anti-American, anti-military, anti-soldier, anti-success in the WOT democrats into office.
06 is not the time for this fight - There are plenty of times to step away from one's party over narrow political reasons...this is certainly not one of those times in our nations history.
Utter balderdash. The vast majority of the 20 million here illegally were illegal from day one.

Aug. 19, 2009
By Katy Johnstone
Athletic Media Relations
Fort Collins, Colo. – With the No. 24-ranked Colorado State volleyball team just more than one week away from its season opener against Pepperdine Aug. 28 at Moby Arena, Head Coach Tom Hilbert and the rest of the 2009 CSU volleyball program held their annual media day Wednesday evening at Moby Arena.
Hilbert, characterizing his team as young but very talented and balanced, spoke in front of nearly 100 members of the Ram Volleyball Network booster club and media, while introducing each of the 17 members on the team, including seniors Katelin Batten – the "best libero in the Mountain West" according to Hilbert - and Tessa Nelson, who was voted MWC preseason Co-Player of the Year earlier this month. The Rams then took part in interviews and informal Q&A sessions with boosters.
Below is a transcript of Coach Hilbert's Q&A with media:
With several players changing positions since last year, how is the team adapting to all the position changes?
There is still a lot of learning and adapting going on, but last spring we played our returning players in those positions and are continuing to work with those changes. We have several new players and the middle blocker position is a battle and through the course of the season a lot of people will play that position. Senior Tessa Nelson has locked that position, but it will be interesting to see who will play opposite her. Freshman Dana Cranston is a maturing player, who will play a role for us somehow this fall. Junior Danielle Minch is another key player who can play opposite Nelson and will be playing more on the right side this fall.
How is sophomore setter Evan Sanders adjusting with everyone changing around her?
Sanders is a good player and trying to find consistency in her tempo and positioning. At this point everyone is going to have to work around her. She is a talented player and what we need to do is keep practicing, so she can gain that consistency.
Are you happy with the preseason ranking of 24?
Yes, but it's hard to tell right now of where we're at. I think we could be 24 in the country, but it may take us until mid-season to be that good, so we will have to see. We have a good preseason schedule with several good teams we will play at home, including No. 26 Pepperdine, Ohio State, and No. 39 Cal Poly. The poll is really all about who we can knock off and I think we are worthy of national ranking. Now we need to win some matches and keep that ranking. We cannot afford to lose and our preseason matches are against teams that are in the 25-50 range, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Pepperdine, and Duke. The rankings are a fun thing to watch and look at, but we want to win the Mountain West Conference.
What do you expect out of the Mountain West this year?
The MWC has six good teams this year. Utah, who is ranked No. 17 nationally and won the MWC last year, but also lost four critical players. BYU is another contender to watch for. They also lost some critical players and were picked to finish third in the MWC. On the other hand New Mexico lost only one key player and everyone else returned. TCU is a very good team and has a lot of returning players. Same goes for UNLV, which only lost its setter. It's a six-team race and winning on the road will be critical this season.
How is the team filling those shoes of the key players you lost?
We are not filling Mekana Barnes' shoes with a Mekana-type player. She is so powerful and we do not have that type of termination on this team; however, we are most balanced this year. We have several players playing at a high level and I think we will be more outside hitter based. However, Evan Sanders has a great ability to get the ball to Tessa Nelson. Those two have chemistry and work well together. We are just a different kind of team. We don't have that one powerful go-to player, but we have several good players.
How will the youth of this team play a role this season?
I think the youth of a team is always fun, because you see them grow as a player, and you see them grow as a team. I think a younger team will grow more in a course of a year.
What makes Katelin Batten one of the best?
I would say Batten is the best libero in the MWC. She is a great serve receiver and she can cover a lot of space on the court. She also digs in the cross-court digging spot; because we are a strong blocking team we funnel the ball to that cross-court section. She is able to dig really hard with aggressive hitters and she does that as well or better than any libero.
You have such a tall lineup this year; how will this help you?
One word: Blocking. We are able to recruit tall players and we are able to have a lot of players on one hitter and the ball. Blocking is something we teach and use to go against some of the bigger teams we will play. We have a good system of blocking here at Colorado State, and that is something we use to our advantage.

By now you've probably seen her. More than likely, she's been in your living room telling you that she's in the shipping business — hauling precious cargo — and can't let a headache shake her concentration. Yes, she's a school bus driver. And, yes, Advil cures her headache. What's interesting about this television commercial is how it has resonated within the school transportation community. Through the grapevine, I've heard that school bus drivers, especially, have embraced this 30-second sales pitch like a newly found twin. Not content to exult in silence, some have phoned and e-mailed Advil's manufacturer, Whitehall-Robins, to thank the company for the positive imagery. Although the woman in the commercial seems rather prone to headaches, she apparently radiates a level-headed sensibility and cheerful attractiveness that we would like America to believe is the essence of the person who sits behind the wheel of their children's school bus.
Why we're so pleased
The gratitude the school bus community feels for this depiction stems from its sharp contrast to the usual way in which the media characterizes the industry and, in particular, school bus drivers. It's almost frightening to consider that television's most enduring depiction of a school bus driver is Otto, the head-banging, pot-smoking character from The Simpsons. I'm not saying, however, that the news media is unduly harsh or unfair in its coverage of school bus drivers. We need only look at a recent incident to see that irresponsible — and criminal — behavior by a bus driver cannot be ignored. The incident I'm referring to is the drunk-driving arrest of a veteran school bus driver in Virginia Beach, Va. Reports indicate that this driver's blood alcohol level was .23, almost four times the legal limit. And she allegedly had an open container on the bus, not to mention more than 20 schoolchildren. I bring up this incident because it was heatedly discussed during a talk radio show here in Southern California. Now I'm sure that motorists are arrested every day for driving while similarly intoxicated. Unless they're a celebrity, however, their arrests don't make the local news, much less a radio show more than 3,000 miles away.
Scrutiny is unavoidable
This industry, because of its charter, is under a magnifying glass, with every blemish turned into a 20-second segment on the evening news. When you do your job perfectly, no one shows up with a film crew to document your success. But if you falter just once, a camera and microphone will be waiting for you. We often talk about the 1 or 2 percent of the children on the bus who are responsible for nearly all of the mischief and harmful behavior. School transportation employees are no different. A small percentage of them end up on the local news. We see them being led into court in a baggy jumpsuit, and we cringe when the news anchor describes them as school bus drivers. The woman with the headache is a more pleasing image — and much closer to reality.

Miguel Cotto Plans To Remain: I'm Not Finished Yet!
Austin Trout roughed up Miguel Cotto late to win a 12-round unanimous decision and retain his share of the 154-pound title Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Trout remained unbeaten and used lopsided scores of 117-111, 119-109 and 117-111 to end Cotto's run as the undisputed champion of the New York fight scene. Trout (26-0) handed Cotto (37-4) his second straight defeate. Cotto dropped a twelve round decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May.
After not giving a direct answer, Cotto made it clear that he would remain in the sport and not retire in the immediate future.
"I'm not finished yet," he said. "I still have boxing in my mind. I just want to rest with my family the rest of the year. I never make excuses. I accept my defeats and I learn from them and I just move forward."
Cotto should fight someone next that doesn't boast a 6 inch reach advantage. Jr. Middle is just a bit big for his frame. Mayweather should tread carefully too. He's small for the division as well.Comment by TaurusJ27 on 12-02-2012
I felt a little sorry for poor Saul Alvarez who lost another potential fight. He had that same sad look on his face at this fight like the one at the Lopez-Garcia fight.Comment by GRUSTLER on 12-02-2012
Cotto is in it for the glory and that's why he fought Trout. He tried to get a big win and title off of a young, undefeated fighter that didn't look so menacing. Cotto won't stop till he gets that…Comment by KING MEAT on 12-02-2012
i wanna see JCC vs trout. cruisers fighting in MWComment by MJ223 on 12-02-2012

Recycling, landfill dumping both drop in Waukesha County
Waukesha - Waukesha County residents recycled slightly less last year, but the amount of trash they threw into landfills decreased by an even bigger percentage - continuing an eight-year trend.
And while the amount of recyclables processed at the Waukesha County Materials Recycling Facility in 2011 dropped slightly, their sale at markets brought in significantly more revenue than a year earlier, said Karen Fiedler, supervisor of the county's solid waste program.
Twenty-five of the county's 37 communities haul their recyclables to the county processing plant in Waukesha. In 2011, the facility processed 21,431 tons of recyclables, about 1% less than 2010. The sale of bottles, steel and aluminum cans, glass and paper brought in $1.6 million, compared with just under $1.2 million a year ago, Fiedler said.
Money from the sale of recyclables, plus a state grant that dropped about 40% this year, to $874,000, are used both to return funds to the participating communities and earmarked in a fund balance that will eventually help the county replace its recycling facility in the future.
Fiedler said that the level of greenhouse gas emissions reduced from recycling those materials was equivalent to taking more than 6,400 cars off the road for a year, and it kept 50,000 cubic yards of waste out of landfills, equivalent to a football field filled more than 30 feet high.
While specific recycling numbers aren't available for all 37 communities, since a dozen don't participate in the county program, Fiedler said records are compiled on trash hauled countywide to landfills.
The amount of trash disposed of in landfills dropped by 3% last year, she said.
In the past eight years, Waukesha County has seen a 17% decline in solid waste generated per capita, from 661 pounds per person in 2004 to 546 pounds per person in 2011.
In that same period, recycling has dropped 12%, from 190 pounds per capita to 168 pounds per capita.
Fiedler cited several reasons for the decline. Lighter containers are being used. Packages are changing - for example, from glass to plastic. Newspapers and magazines are smaller, and circulation is declining as more people rely on digital sources for information.
The economic recession and slow recovery have also played a role, she said.

Polish Flight Skirted Military Protocol
Invitation From President Put Fatal Trip Outside Procedures to Keep Officers From Traveling Together On the Same Plane
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below)
WARSAW—Two weeks before last weekend's tragic plane crash, Poland's top military commanders got individual invitations from President Lech Kaczynski to fly with him to Western Russia to commemorate Stalin's 1940 massacre of Polish intellectuals and officers.
It was an invitation from their commander-in-chief that the generals and admiral couldn't refuse and there is no indication they wanted to refuse it, say people familiar with the matter. Because the invitations came from the president, rather than within the Defense Ministry, and the flight was civilian, not military, the flight was outside military procedures—developed in the wake of an air disaster two years ago—that restrict which and how many senior military officers can fly on the same plane.
The result was tragic. All six of the Polish military's senior force commanders, plus three other top defense and security officials, died when the president's Tupolev-154 aircraft crashed Saturday, killing 96.
No official interviewed for this article blamed the late president for the soldiers' deaths, and officials said they knew of no discussion among commanders about whether they were following the rules about taking the same flight.
Yet the picture that emerges is of the president taking measures to stage a high-profile public event that Russia had denied him weeks before, when Moscow declined his request to attend a joint Russian-Polish commemoration.
Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Feb. 4 invited his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk—Mr. Kaczynski's political rival—to make the Katyn commemoration a joint event this year, in what was seen as a breakthrough in relations between the two historical foes.
The following day, Mr. Kaczynski suggested to Russia that the two nations' presidents should also be present. When Moscow declined, weeks of negotiations followed. The result: two commemorations, one on April 7 for the prime ministers, and one all-Polish event on the official April 10 anniversary that Mr. Kaczynski would attend.
"The presence of all these important people was supposed to underline the national character of the event" on April 10, and honor the Katyn dead, said Jan Oldakowski, director of the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising and a backer of Mr. Kaczynski, who built the museum. Mr. Oldakowski should have been on the plane, but was asked Thursday to make room for someone else.
The event would also have given Mr. Kaczynski, who was to have run for re-election in the fall, a platform to speak about a historic tragedy that unites Poland. The president's chancellery declined to comment.
Military officials and analysts say the ability of Poland's military to operate, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, is unlikely to be seriously affected by the loss at the top. "These guys are the strategy guys, they take the big final decisions, but they don't run the military day-to-day. Their chiefs of staff do that," said Charles Heyman, a military consultant and former British army officer.
But the commanders lost in the air tragedy, according to Polish military officials and U.S. diplomats who worked with them, may be irreplaceable for years. That is a blow not just for Poland, but also the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the U.S. The men were the first complete generation of top Polish commanders to have been educated in Western—mainly U.S.—military colleges, and to have learned from operations alongside U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Asked if there was a new crop of similarly experienced and motivated officers ready to succeed those who died, Deputy Defense Minister Marcin Idzik said: "We lost our best soldiers. Poland's armed forces are ready, but it will be a different armed forces."
Mr. Idzik said that because the invitations were sent directly to the commanders by the president's chancellery, the flight didn't trigger procedural requirements that would have required Chief of the General Staff Franciszek (Frank) Gagor, who was also on the flight, to approve each person on it.
"It wasn't a military flight," says Mr. Idzik. Had it been, "In my opinion this situation would not have happened," he said.
In 2008, Poland's Air Force commander and his deputy died when their plane crashed inside Poland. The accident prompted new procedures under which no force commander is allowed to travel together with his deputy and any military flight with more than 10 personnel on board must be approved by the chief of the general staff. The rules don't apply to civilian flights.
The Ministry of Defense listed 13 military personnel in addition to the crew. The first task of Poland's acting president gave his newly appointed national security chief earlier this week, was to review the rules regarding military personnel traveling together.
Several of the generals who died were in their 40s or early 50s, and had been promoted above more-senior officers rooted in Soviet-era traditions. The group wanted to create a modern fighting force in the U.S. mold, with the goal—already partly achieved—of becoming one of NATO's most active and relied-upon forces, military officials and diplomats say. The men saw Iraq and Afghanistan as the crucibles in which to rebuild Poland's military.
"Some 40% of Poland's armed services have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. They saw these as opportunities to create a high-level professional force," said U.S. Ambassador to Poland Lee Feinstein, who knew all of the commanders.
Mr. Kaczynski was a fierce proponent of Poland's ties to NATO and the U.S., one of the reasons that his relationship with Moscow had been so difficult.
Gen. Gagor was a leading candidate to be the next chairman of NATO's military committee, the military counterpart of the alliance's secretary-general, according to U.S. diplomats.
Operations Commander Lt. Gen. Bronislaw Kwiatkowski, who was due to retire on May 5, had served two years in Iraq, commanding the Polish sector, training Iraqi soldiers and advising the Iraqi defense ministry.
Charismatic army chief Maj. Gen. Tadeusz Buk had commanded Polish forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and was given to bear hugs and blunt talk in heavily accented English. At a dinner after visiting a joint training program for U.S. soldiers embedding with Polish troops in Afghanistan, Gen. Buk ended his speech "Thank you, America! Thank you, America! Thank you, America!" according to people who were present.
Corrections and Amplifications
A 2008 air crash in Poland killed the commanders of the 1st Tactical Air Brigade, the 12th and 21st Air Bases, and the deputy commanders of the 8th and 40th Tactical Air Squadrons, and other senior Air Force Officers. Some version of this article incorrectly said the commander of Poland's Air Force and his deputy were killed in the 2008 crash.

Eeek this is my first blog post in over a month, sorry guys!! I have had exams and haven't been well recently; I also decided to just chill for a couple of weeks afterwards but today I'm back with my skincare routine.
I haven't done an update in depth skincare routine in a while so I thought I would share the products that I have consistently been using and loving. My skin had a complete melt down during exam time which I'm assuming was down to the stress so ever since I have just been trying to get it back on track and looking healthy and happy again.
As I get older there is nothing better than the feeling of taking all of my make up off at the end of the day. I love it! My go-to cleanser has been the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser. This is a nice thick creamy cleanser that thoroughly cleanses my skin but I love that it doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped afterwards. I will sometimes do a double cleanse if I have a lot of make up on. This is a good cleanse for just about anyone has it isn't scented or too harsh.
For me exfoliating my face is so important. It helps to keep my skin soft and smooth but more than anything it helps give my skin some life. I use the Kiehl's Pineapple & Papaya Facial Scrub which contains tiny ground scrub grains however these are very gentle on the skin which is essential in any scrub used on the face. I particularly like this scrub as it contains pineapple and papaya fruit which contain natural enzymes which exfoliate the skin. My face always feels extra soft after using this and I tend to use it twice a week.
Let's just same I'm very partial to a little face mask. I will usually tailor the mask that I use to suit how my skin if feeling that week. Sometime I will use a deep cleansing mask if I'm feeling a bit congested, a brightening mask if my skin is dull/tired or a moisturising mask if my skin is feeling a bit dry. One of my face masks is from REN (their masks are some of my favourites!). Their Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial is amazing. Not only do you only need to leave it on for 1 minute so it is so handy to use when you don't have time or just can't be bothered, but it actually works wonders on the skin.
This mask is contains water activated Vitamin C and literally gives your skin an injection of life. After rinsing the mask off my skin is left feeling energised, brighter, smoother and firmer. I love it! I like to keep this mask in my shower and I will use it twice a week to give my skin a boost.
I never used to use a toner however recently I have been using the La Roche-Posay Serozinc Spray. As I mentioned my skin was so stressed and I ended up with some pretty bad break outs. The Serozinc spray contains zinc sulphate which is a wonder ingredient for blemish/problematic skin. This helps calm, soothe and prevent further imperfections. I noticed a huge improvement in the condition of my skin once I started to use this.
Serum is a step that I added in to my skincare routine and now I couldn't be without it. Before moisturising I also apply two pumps of the Nip+Fab Dragon's Blood Fix Serum. I have already made my love for this product know and I still adore it. This serum contains Hyaluronic Acid which helps plump and hydrate the skin. My skin can't get enough of this serum and I definitely can tell the difference when I don't use this. Nip+Fab is the little sister company of Rodial whom also have a Dragon's Blood Serum which they sell for £125. I can almost guarantee that the Nip+Fab serum is the exact same product and is a fraction of the price.
After my serum has settled in I then apply a generous amount of my favourite all time moisturiser, Kiehl's Skin Rescuer. This product is heavenly and I love applying it before I go to bed. My skin feels instantly comforted and nourished and I wake up in the morning with lovely soft skin. I can't say enough good things about this moisturiser; I never want to be without it!
Now that I'm approaching my late twenties (sob, sob, sob!) I have noticed that I am starting to get some fine lines around my eye area. In an attempt to combat these I have started to use Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum. I really like this serum as it is light weight and so doesn't leave me with milia but also feel so luxurious and nourishing. I'm hoping this will help slow the raging process a little.
After my exams I treated myself to some Bobbi Brown products and one of them was the Vitamin Enriched Face Base and now I'm obsessed. This is a combination between a moisturiser and a primer. This face cream is very rich and luxurious feeling but is oil-free so never feels greasy. It has a really invigorating citrus scent which is perfect for the morning time. I have been applying this in the morning before putting my make up on and I'm in love with it. It plumps and hydrates my skin, creating the perfect canvas for make up and it also helps my make up to stay on throughout the day.
Being a lip balm addict it takes something really special to impress me when it comes to lip balms. The Omorovicza Perfecting Lip Balm has definitely impressed me! This lip balm isn't cheap (I got mine in my Liberty Advent Calendar last year) but in my eyes it is worth the money. This contains shea butter and hyaluronic spheres which really work to hydrate and moisturise the lips. It also contains eucalyptus oil which naturally plumps the lips. This is the best lip balm to apply before lipstick as it preps them perfectly and leaves you with really beautiful pout.
If you have any skincare recommendations then let me know below.

As usual the 'ambiance' at the Punchline Comedy Club was awesome, friendly staff, great drinks, great prices. No gouging. The line up did a fantastic job, Conor Kellicutt, Kris Tinkle and Chris Garcia all did an awesome job and were in top shape. Also Laura (?) from LA did a surprise performance. All really funny. Highly recommended.
