Skip to comments.Rush Limbaugh calls on conservatives to take back nation
Posted on 03/01/2009 3:11:17 AM PST by Scanian
Rush Limbaugh brought a cheering crowd to its feet several times Saturday in Washington as he called on fellow conservatives to take back the country in the keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"We conservatives have not done a good enough job of just laying out basically who we are because we make the mistake of assuming that people know. What they know is largely incorrect, based on the way we're portrayed in pop culture, in the drive-by media, by the Democrat party," the conservative talk show host told a mostly-young crowd of energized supporters.
"We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be. We recognize that we are all individuals. We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independent. We believe that the preamble of the Constitution contains an inarguable truth, that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, freedom. And the pursuit of happiness," he said, pausing several times for enthusiastic applause.
Looking ahead to the 2012 election, Limbaugh said conservatives will have to choose the right candidate to take the country back.

I'm looking for an inferno. It has to happen. It must happen. This is just the beginning.
Imbeciles like that remind me of some of the trolls we have around here. Makes you wonder what their true motives are, doesn't it?
Here in Tampa we have a street called Armenia Ave which is lined with numerous Colombian businesses, nearly all of which are owned by paisas. Remind me a bit of the early Cuban refugees, industrious and conservative.
I've listened to Rush for over 18 years and I agree with you concerning Glenn Beck.
Beck seems to be taking the fight right to Obama in a more intense way whereas Rush has become more inside the beltway.
I don't think Rush grasps the undertow that is growing that is the driving force behind guns and ammo sales. There are reports of shortages in both firearms and ammo.
I tried to buy some 12 ga ammo online and the ammo was backordered until May 29th. The round has a .65 caliber slug with 6 double 00's in a 6 point star patteren. It's a crowd pleaser.
The type of slip that is an inherent risk in extemporaneous speeches. I'll bet he issues a correction by tomorrow.
"Who is John Galt?"
Ayn Rands book Atlas Shurgged sold over 200,000 copies last year and sales are increasing. A recent report posted here on FR stated that over 8 percent of Americans have read the book and this number is growing.
Well put!
Nice to see you here again. Have you read Atlas Shurgged again?
Well, that's his 1% :-)
Be thankful we have a Rush Limbaugh. Nobody else is saying these things.
Glad to see Glenn Beck on the boob tube.
Makes us laugh as I have a few scotches and the wife is making dinner.
I too am a Rush listener since '88 when I was picking up my youngest son from high school, (long story) and found him on the radio.
Problem I found is that one needs to listen to him for a while to get to understand his humor.
I thought his speech was excellent, and was very happy it was on nation wide. Like you stated ... get the message out!
LOL. I love it.
You are correct, but the real problem lies in the fact that if the states that allow this cross over voting do not change their laws to prevent it, we will always be stuck with whichever lame candidate they choose for us.
Now did I say that? No.
What I did say was that calling his patriotism into question
because of his correct assertion was uncalled for.
I believe this man has proven his unquestionable patriotism.
I said that he had "earned" the right to say these things
and what I meant by this was that he has been endowed his
right to speak by our creator, God. But when one applies
his own blood to that right in combat, he or she has double
stamped it. That's just my opinion and if you don't agree with it, it's of no concern to me.
Hi, no, she's "Cachaca" from the city - Bogota. She's from a very conservative Catholic family. She actually had more influence on me politically than I on her.
You are talking to me? Nobody could be more grateful for him!
I have never seen (heard) Rush cry on the air. Beck is an emotional basket case.
Yes, sometimes. We all know as conservatives Rush is exactly right!
Look around friend..
Do YOU see ANY cause for optimism?
I think of myself as a rational pragmatist.
The ONLY thing I'm "optimistic" about is the knowledge things will get MUCH worse before enough folks get mad enough to do what is necessary --- and it ain't going to be pretty.
I'm pretty sure that's Rush...
I grabbed the image from a pic of el Rushbo when I made that thing.
Visit my profile page for more.
Feel free to spread my propaganda far and wide.
I listened to the entire speech - and some parts twice.
My "complaining" is not about the speech - but the fact that Rush is delusional if he thinks the "folks" I'm talking about will ever spit out the government tit, quit their slovenly ways, pull their pants up to their waste, get an education, quit dope, get a job, forsake their gang banging ways, stop selling their asses for crack and become law abiding productive members of society...
Look about. When you look into the faces of the third world illegal aliens, and broodmare bastard punks overrunning your town - can you really imagine them as the kind of neighbors YOU grew up with, just a few generations ago?
Trust me...I understand completely. He has a right to say what he wants. However, I find most Americans to be far more optimistic, in that their steady glow of patriotism within is beginning to burn and rage very BRIGHTLY (precisely due to some very UN-American activities within the ranks of our own government)! ;-)
Perhaps my rage is beginning to burn a little too BRIGHTLY
out of frustration due to the very UN-American activities.
;-)) Not to worry. I have a VERY thick skin, and am an adult who can discuss these things without getting my *feelings* hurt.
Tennessee is a great state. I have a sister who has now opted to move here from the DC area. She is ultra conservative and LOVES the more rational atmosphere here in TN....and the friendly people! I'm glad to have her out of there....for many reasons.
It was great. I admit I've watched it more than once already! :-)
The very instant it becomes acceptable public behavior to carry a weapon and shoot any invading or misbehaving miscreant I come across between the eyes -- THEN I will agree.
As it is -- I am COMPELLED by force of government enforced laws to refrain from destroying my enemy, and in fact am COMPELLED by the same force to SUPPORT my enemy and refrain from even verbally challenging or insulting them...
Now tell me, how is THAT a "300 time" ?
My parents were both LEGAL Greek immigrants, my mother from Sparta - I think I would know a "300 time" --- and this isn't it --- yet.
When it is -- call me and I'll be there.
Well - they have achieved MAJORITY representation in the House and Senate and have moved their ineligible black racist and narcissistic poseur into the White House.
Take a look at many of our major cities - where they clearly have held "critical mass" and directed the death spiral of those cities into the abbess..... with enough momentum to effect the entire state. My own state of Kalifornicate is facing bankruptcy as a result the "enemy" gaining "critical mass".
They are using their current grasp of power to enact legislation and spending to further consolidate their position and strengthen their grasp on power - while at the same time doing everything necessary to weaken the free market forces and individual freedoms necessary to our society..
When would YOU consider them as having achieved "critical mass" -- after the frog in tepid water has been boiled to terminal condition, consumed and converted to fecal matter?
I took a look at your page. Interesting.
I can't figure out why we are still standing as a country with these people.
But then perhaps we will be in full battle gear before too long.
I didn't know an American was required to think in an approved manner to remain an American.
I'll think as I damned will please....
Even at risk of your disapproval.
You are certainly welcome to your pessimistic thoughts.
One person's pessimism is another person's acknowledgment of reality.
But then, lots of folks go though life in a constant state of denial -- because it doesn't require risk or action.
I think you're missing my point...
Rush was preaching to the choir and his adoring fans, of which I am one..
There is NOTHING Rush could say that can CHANGE anything, without a majority of Americans coming to their senses..
Currently that appears to be the "Bridge Too Far", in my opinion.
I'm of the opinion - forged by nearly 70 years of observation - that this country has in fact reached the point where there are far too many subhumans and welfare leaches who WANT to be dependent upon Government and view our concept of self sufficiency and self reliance as "being white" or being a sucker....and will NEVER change.
Obama's bailout of wrongfully granted mortgage holders confirms the "sucker" charge, doesn't it?.
In many cases - they CAN'T change.. They're too damned ignorant and brain fried to change.
Obviously, they're joined and being used by enough of like thinking Leftists, Marxists, Perverts, Drug Users, Abortionists, black Racists and multiple other scalawags and miscreants to have achieved a majority position in our Republic which foolishly granted the vote to the undeserving and failed to protect the sanctity and integrity of the ballot box..
We are experiencing a real life scenario of the inmates seizing control of the Insane Asylum......and we're still trying to be polite and unoffensive...
To add insult to injury - these same bastards are screaming for MORE....and accusing those who wish to refuse as Racists, Capitalists, Greedy Rich, UnAmerican, anti Immigration, anti Unionists, etc, etc, etc........
I pray for the day Americans FINALLY wake up and scream BULLSHIT at the top of their lungs and react in a manner ordained by our founders.
There are many here who can't see the truth of what you speak of and point out. It is nearly 300 time... By this time next year those who rebuke you will be singing a completely different tune
I think that we came VERY close to it last night... If you watched carefully once his speech was over, during the award presentation, he appeared to be very close to tearing up at least twice: The first time when they announced that the document they were presenting him was signed by Benjamin Franklin (and pretty much said that he was "our" Franklin, today), and then when they said, "Yes, this is the real thing." Also, did you notice how Rush made light of it and quickly got off stage? That's WAY out of character for Rush - the ducking off stage part. I am pretty sure he needed to get off-stage as quickly as possible, because he didn't want to give the leftist enemy any sort of ammunition to use against him showing "weakness."
The "critical mass" to which I referred would be when we get past the point of "no turning back." I hope that's not the case, but someday, who knows. I think that day will be evident when the government elite no longer even try to pay "lip service" to the Constitution.
I agree with you completely. And if we can get "real conservatives" elected into local and state positions, we well as the house and senate, people who can state, for the record, what conservatism is, then there's still hope. I honestly believe that the reasons the republicans lost their majority in the house and senate was because they abandoned conservatism, and became the "party of not quite as big government." A lot of conservatives stayed home during this last election cycle. A lot of Libertarians (big and small) either sat it out, or in a Randian hope of helping to hasten the end, voted for the dems. Because the republicans really didn't give us anyone to vote FOR.
Rush said that the "default" for people is towards freedom and liberty. I agree. Unfortunately, far too many are willing to take the easy path, when promises are made. But I still believe that the vast majority would be willing to vote conservative if only a decent candidate were run, and there was a good voicing of the sort of things Rush had to say last night.
One of a few wise comments Ross Perot ever uttered - "The Devil is in the details"
What Rush said was true of the "Greatest Generation".
They KNEW the true definition and cost of Freedom and Liberty.
We are no longer like or even similar to that generation.
The "Feedom and Liberty" desired by the proven majority of our current generation is something quite different.
Our schools, K thought University are filled with Leftist indoctrinating Union stalwarts - who to this day heap scorn on all acts of war unless that war is fought to increase abortions, legalize Gay marriage, fight man caused global warming, save the whales, rescue the seals, give a free bilingual education to every illegal immigrant, grant citizenship rights to illegal aliens, save the spotted owl, stop oil from flowing out of American oil wells, protect trees from the dreaded ax man, end capital punishment, civil rights for uncivil miscreants, free the murderous Islamists from Gitmo, build prayer rooms for Muslims in our schools and shopping centers, remove the 10 commandments from our Public Building and Schools, etc, etc, etc...
You must get my drift...
As if that isn't bad enough - too many "parents" are unfit to claim the name or right... Youngsters are being raised by incompetent, immoral, degenerate, sub human garbage - and we wonder why we have so many "problem kids" and young offenders. Hell, "Johnny" can't read because he never saw a book before the 1st grade -- and neither his mommy or unknown daddy can read well enough to hold down even a menial job! Yet - we PAY these folks to have kids!
Clearly OUR generation is unwilling to "default" to Liberty and Freedom" if that goal is defined as personal responsibility for one's circumstance, sovereignty of our borders and culture, adherence to the Constitution as written and the end of the unconstitutional practice of stealing from Peter to pay Paul. Government should NEVER be allow to decide who "deserves" the sweat of your brow. That decision should be held by you and you alone.
In the final analysis....I believe good old Rush is whistling past the cemetery --- hope the sound will scare off the goblins...
I prefer to remain silent, since I KNOW the goblins are present and dangerous - carry a weapon and slay the goblins.
But that's just me.... I'm like the guy whose only tool is a hammer and wants to treat all problems like nails..... and pound the hell out of them....
Training is hard to overcome.....
While I'm fascinated to learn that your mother is from Sparta, and both parents are Greek immigrants, I'm curious as to how you think this would make you "know" whether or not this would be a "300" time. Do you think culture is a genetic "thing" or the result of active choice?
I did not say the gent was agreeing with the liberals. But rather, his message most curiously resembles their message in a very strange way.
I have believed, still believe and stand upon every word I wrote in that post. I'm merely bearing testament to what I've seen, experienced, and live(d).
In 1993, my family and I attended Dan's Bake Sale in Fort Collins, CO. Our youngest was barely out of a stroller. We arrived at the Bake sale (and truly, it was an amazing event, from the moment we left our home in a Tioga), and cameras came right up to us, and press chatted with us. We were the California Bay Area Conservatives. At that time, it was shocking news that ANYONE from the San Francisco Bay Area "might" be a conservative; but there we were. Me in my pro-life T-shirt, hubby in his Christ-The-King T-shirt; all our children in fine fettle. And there we were showing up on a Tom Brokow segment - to the amazement and discontent of those we knew around the nation.
We came back sporting a "WHO IS JOHN GALT? ASK RUSH" bumpersticker.
I would get locked in by other cars at parking lots. In stopped commute traffic, people were jetting out of their cars to talk to me on highways. Every where, people were in shock, rushing to meet us. At times it was really unnerving, that look of desperation in the eyes of fellow conservatives as they'd excitedly introduce themselves, and long shake my hand. "We are here! We may be white, we may be Republican, we may even be ugly, BUT THANK GOD WE ARE HERE!"
I carried url addresses, email addresses, flyers, network contacts, phone numbers with me, all carefully organized to give to folks. lol! These were the early years. The keying, the nails in the tires, the smashed windows -- well, those came in the later years.
No one told me to do this, or even instructed me back then. I just could NOT bear knowing so many people felt so disenfranchised and alone. I hated the chimera, lies, and thefts of liberals and their liberalism.
Individuals, Constitutionalists, Conservatives needed to know each other, and stand together. We had been divided by liberalism through our daily practices of accountability and self-responsibility -- each of us living our lives and meeting our obligations, but we'd been picked apart and each made as "targets" by liberals. We needed to band together.
And so, things began to happen. In my area.
Stock, I read "Atlas Shrugged" when I was 12. I didn't understand a lot of it. So, I read it again when I was 15. I understood more. And through the years, I'd re-read the book. In the early 90s, my husband was horribly shaken up by "things" happening in our locale, and to him. He needed a break. And we knew we needed to leave the area. I sent him to Montana on a break/look-see adventure, and I packed "Atlas Shrugged" into his luggage.
He began reading it. About his 4th night in Montana, he was in Helena. His mind was blown. This good man was having a major epiphany. Things he hadn't understood. Things which his fine, intellectual brain could not piece together, and which burdened his heart became clear, and through reading "Atlas Shrugged".
Well, we did try to sell our home and move to Montana. Real Estate in CA fell into the toilet and no one was selling real estate. The next 10 years of what we went through, what we fought, what we witnessed and endured, is the stuff of novels.
We knew then, as we know now, God wanted us exactly right where we were, for His reasons. And looking back? Yep, He was right.
amazing testimony, thank you.
As Rush would say: "I know every inch of my naked body..." (lol), I'm telling the absolute truth in what I've written in this thread.
Of course, moving this country to its founding and where it needs to be is something we can definitely do. I've been in hell, and I've seen the miracles. The San Francisco Bay Area is a dynomite place to learn how liberals wish to see the entirety of the U.S. The experience is nightmarish and unbelievable. And now the nation is rocking and quaking, feeling the same tremors of fear and loathing at what has come down upon them.
I'm here to tell every and anyone listening and reading: This is doable.
First, realize the psychologic war being daily waged upon you. Make up your mind: Decide to win, and you will win. Do it smartly, and with class. Do it civilly, and more join in with you. Be ready. Drop your ego at the curb. And.. make up your mind to simply address your own personal universe - that which comprises your little reality world. Be real and clear in that. It has a tendency to galvanize and awaken those in proximity.
Lady, (an assumption on my part) I don't need to be Greek to KNOW this is not "300 time". However, as both an experienced warrior and of Greek heritage - I can recognize this nation is not fully committed to any war for any purpose. To say we are now at "300 time" is a foolish exaggeration on your part. The only real war being fought now, is by Leftist politicians and their electorate against the Constitution and Capitalism.
If you have forgotten your comment, permit me to direct you to your own Post #16 where you issued the call to arms:
"It's "300" time. Raise your shield, shake your spear. It's how the best parts of history have happened. And it's now. Again."
Are you inciting insurrection?
Are you calling for armed rebellion against the state?
Exactly who are you calling for us to shove spears into?
Permit me to explain "300 time" - That is when a few warriors laid down their life to protect the many by killing thousands who had invaded their homeland...
If you're calling for a killing spree -- please send YOUR family to the front, mine has done more than our share of killing and dying for a country I currently no longer recognize and who no longer recognizes the principals for which those sacrifices were laid down.
Once folks have STARTED the violence to RESTORE that which has been lost - I'll join if able. Not until then.
I'm a very old man now - so it will have to come soon if you expect my help.
So, are you and those like you with the "go git em" attitude, going to lead, follow or hide when the real fighting starts?
But putting that side for the sake of this argument, for now, were it to come down to it, would I take up arms? Absolutely, yes. Have I put myself in harms way to put forward the conservative message? Time and Time again, and in the public eye. Have I endured the consequences of battling the liberal oligarchy? Yes. Have I been assaulted personally? Yes. Did I fight back? Yes. Have I ever stood alone amid a maddened crowd? Yes.
Now, have I ever fought in a military war. No. Have I proven to myself that I would take up arms for my country? Without a doubt, yes.
I think it is good that folks are ensuring they are able to physically protect themselves against assault; or even an invasion. Do I think liberals in bureacracies and in office will openly declare war on Americans. No. That's not how liberals work. They know Americans would rise up like an angry viper, and all the "power" the liberals think they have would float away like so much flatulence.
What they are doing now, IME, is creating the "stage" for what they'd like to accomplish but without ever being honest or direct about it. They'd like to see mass hysteria. For while a population is in mass hysteria, they'll pass all kinds of idiocies, and because no one is paying attention. They are too preoccupied with.. screaming, running, being frightened, being angry, and acting out. And those who act out will be pinned as people like you and me.
Liberals like the cover of madness in order to perpetrate their agenda - laughing clowns, and predatory teachers in bowties and Hello-Kitty hair ware.
The Story of the "300" begins first in the mind and heart and in the training. All that came afterwards is the result of the former.
It's not "showtime" yet, by my estimates. I think training season has just begun.
Lastly, okay, you want my bone fides. Every generation of men and women on both my parents' sides, and in multiple countries, have fought militarily for liberty. My dad went to war when he was 16; not 17 as he told me. I found his records. He fought in WWII and in Korea, was commissioned for recon in Vietnam but was not permitted as my mother was given a terminal cancer life sentence. One brother served. My daughter served, Afghanistan Spring 2002. My son is active duty. My sil is active duty. Why didn't I serve? My dad. He encouraged me to fight in the frontlines of American's Downtown for Liberty. He thought it was exactly where America's enemy had taken a foothold. And he was right. And there I was.
Show me a liberal who says he hates war, and I'll show you man (or woman) who helped create the grounds for War and the deaths of many American lives, and the lives of others in other countries.
Socialism murders.
True...but I assure you that I am in NO state of denial. I see clearly what is happening. However, I intend to fight it....and WIN! ;-)
I have always been both a realist and....an optimist.

A conference on world religions and the environment opens today in the grounds of Windsor Castle. Can it be any more than an agreeable and meaningless freebie?
In the recent Berlin negotiations on global warming, the Opec countries seemed to be voting to continue to treat the oil under their deserts as a purely useful resource which the world should continue to burn unfettered, in the the teeth of worried Western opinion. Most such countries are formally at least followers of the Koran. Their leaders could probably argue that continued economic growth is a more important tangible gain for humanity and a fulfilment of man's submission to God than would be the alternative of risking the imposition of poverty - and hence probably accelerated environmental degradation - on the world. .
Of course cheque-books may have been speaking louder than holy texts in the Arab world's negotiating position. Still, it is not casuistical to point out that the great "religions of the book" hold out an extrordinarily rich, but confusing, set of images about mankind's role on earth.
The Middle East religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - share central propositions. They accept that God made man as some sort of very special project: at the very least, man is primus inter pares. But they accept also that man was given an onerous relationship with the rest of God's creation.
Years ago, much green thinking railed about the Judaeo-Christian tradition, and especially the words about "dominion" in Genesis. This was natural enough: the greens were and are troubled about Western civilisation (in particular its supposed materialism), and thought they saw in Genesis the ur-text which had led to exploitative behaviour.
Green thinkers such as Ian Bradley, especially with his popular God is Green (1990) have done a good deal to disabuse us of earlier simplistic thinking. They point out that "dominion" is like kingship: it conveys the responsibilities of power. They have then gone on to suggest that it is not the texts, but our interpetation of them, which has been damaging.
I don't think this second bit is terribly good history. Keith Thomas, in his Man and the Natural World (1983), shows us that within individuals, and certainly within historic periods, views about nature are and always were complex. Throughout history, Nature has been used to describe both the violent and the harmonious, the lovely and the grim. Crucially, it has always been The Other: but we sometimes see Nature as evidence of the part of creation which is without sin, and at others we see it as the part which is without soul.
It is hardly surprising that religious people should explore man's perennial anxieties about his relations with nature within a context of the original intentions of the prophets. Perhaps it is natural that greens should be embarrassed that early European Christian prosletysers ripped up the sacred groves of the pagans they sought to convert. What is less clear is whether it is right that religious greens should assume that their general admiration of pantheistic pimitive peoples and their tremendous, and sometimes almost pantheistic, admiration of nature, give them a stick to beat their civilisation or a flail with which to flagellate their own backs.
Christian theology supposes that not merely man, but the whole of creation with him, is subject to the Fall. But it seems a wide open matter quite what can be done to put the awful business right. If I read it correctly, one can as easily hope and work for some preferable state here on earth, as suppose that the wrong will be righted in heaven. Either way, religious texts and traditions do not lay out unambiguous paths for people who would like to follow God's purpose for man and the rest of creation.
In part, the modern green religious argument is quite like the older socialist religious argument: do the holy texts legitimate man's exploitation of the planet any more than they legitimate man's exploitation of his fellows? But they differ in one thing. The right-wing Christian can easily (or uneasily, according to temperament) argue that man's "exploitation" of his fellows is part of a process which enriches all, eventually. Others, of course, are entitled to take the view that any exploitation of people is wrong. It is, however, perfectly clear that all the great texts place on man the stewardship of his world.
It is clearly inevitable that we must exploit the planet. The problem is to explore the spiritual and technical problems we encounter as we do so. These may test modern people more than previous generations, but it is quite wrong to imagine that our forebears did not recognise the same difficulties, or contrariwise to suppose that the gnomic utterances of 2000 years ago can make much of a management manual.

The successor of Ruby 1.9.3 will replace the current Lazy Sweep Garbage Collector with a Bitmap Marking GC, which will significantly reduce Ruby's memory usage for parallel programs, similar to Ruby Enterprise Edition's copy-on-write-friendly GC. We talked with Narihiro Nakamura who implemented both the current Lazy Sweep and the Bitmap Marking GC.

InfoQ Issues Call for Articles
InfoQ is announcing a call for articles and is encouraging practitioners and domain experts to submit feature-length (2,000 to 3,000 word) papers that are timely, educational and practical. Topics of interest include cloud architecture and development, Java, Agile, NoSQL, big data analytics, HTML 5 and mobile development. Author guidelines are now also available.
Implementing Custom TPL Dataflow Blocks
Dataflow Blocks are the backbone of the .NET 4.5's new high performance parallel processing library. And while they offer a lot of functionality out of the box, there will be times when a custom block is necessary. Zlatko Michailov has put together a document outlining the process and many of the traps you may encounter.
An Update on Google Native Client
Beside C/C++, Google Native Client has added support for runtimes such as Mono, and a richer set of Pepper interfaces: accelerated 3D, full-screen, File IO, debugging, and others. New languages -Lua, TCL, OCaml- are being ported, and several major producers have ported their game engines or their games to NaCl.

We let the fans speak once again, this time our buddy Nick gives us his review of Mac Miller & Wiz Khalifa's tour stop in Indianapolis, Indiana from Saturday night:
If you have pictures, videos or want to write a review from your "Under The Influence" experience email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This show was pretty badass from the start. We arrived as Chiddy Bang was about halfway through their set. They had the crowd going and just started "HIGH" as we got to our lawn area.
They finished with Opposite of Adults, which was a great way to end it. The crowd loved it. About a 10 to 15 minute set change led into Kendrick Lamar. He played about 6 songs, with ADHD and Swimming Pools being a couple of them. He had a lot of the crowd singing along with him.
More of this review plus pictures, videos & setlists after the jump!
Mac Miller was next and didn't disappoint one bit. He opened with BDE Bonus which is my favorite of the two BDEs. He had the home videos of him playing on the big screen behind him through this song. The crowd loved it. His set was awesome! He came on around 8 Indy time and was on for about an hour.
Mac's Set- In Order. BDE Bonus, Knock Knock, (a little fight broke out in front of us between songs), Nikes on My Feet, Loitering, My Team, Smile Back, Loud, Thoughts from a Balcony, 1 Threw 8, Ignorant, Angels, The Mourning After, Lucky Ass Bitch, Diamonds and Gold, Pink Slime, Of the Soul, Frick Park Market, Missed calls, and finally ended with Donald Trump which had the place going nuts. Definitely a way to end it!
Next up was the Headliner of the night, WIZ KHALIFA!. He came on at about 9:20 and rocked it from the start.
When the lights dropped and the intro started playing people got loud. He opened with Cabin Fever and the smell of weed started filling the air. Wiz played a variety of songs from Star power, Flight School, Kush & OJ, Cabin Fever, Rolling Papers, and Taylor Allderdice. The whole gang came up for "Taylor Gang" and just went crazy.
The Cruise:
"Black and Yellow" came on then "Work Hard, Play Hard" came which I thought he would end on. The place was loud as hell and he asked if we wanted one more and the place got even louder so he finished with O.N.I.F.C. They all came out again to get wild. One of the members did a beer bong and spit a bunch out into the crowd. Mac was right along Wiz's side when the show was over having a good ass time rapping with him. You could tell Wiz put a lot of emotion into the concert and wasn't just up there to collect the check. He put on a show for his fans that I certainly will remember forever. His set was about an hour and a half long.
Wiz's Set
Cabin Fever, Phone Numbers, Gang Bang, Homicide, California, Taylor Gang, The Grinder, The Cruise, Kid Frankie, Never Been, In the Cut, Still Blazin, Mary 3X, Young Wild and Free, Smokin On, Be Easy, Boarding Pass, Feels Good, Ink My Whole Body, The Race, Hopes and Dreams, On My Level, Work Hard Play Hard, Black and Yellow, and finally O.N.I.F.C

The crossfade should look like this
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0
Build ID: 20120129021758
Steps to reproduce:
I visited the website http://www.zahnarztpraxis-stoll.de/
Actual results:
The graphic (the middle one) crossfades very ugly to the next one. There shouldn't be a black screen while it's fading.
Expected results:
The graphic should smooth and soft fade to the next graphic, like in the movies. It worked fine in the previous Firefox versions 3-9 but now it doesn't. I used this effect for a lot of customer webpages. If my customers upgrading to Firefox 10 they are going crazy.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?
How about with a new, empty profile?
wfm with Seamonkey trunk and Firefox10.0 on windows7/32.
I have tested with and without hwa.
In safe mode it works fine. Can't create a new profile, it doesn't work. Mozilla firefox starts without the profile wizard. I tried everything. I really think this is a firefox 10 problem. I just checked it before and after the upgrade. I changed nothing, but firefox did.
Please disable the hardware acceleration under (alt key)/tools/options/advanced/general/ , restart FF in the normal mode and test again.
OK, it's a problem with the hardware acceleration. After disabling the acceleration the graphic crossfade works fine. So it's a bug with the hardware acceleration. Or wasn't there any before FF10?
Please copy+paste the graphic section from about:support in this bug.
This seems to be a possible driver bug because it works on my system with hardware acceleration enabled. (nvidia 310m)

about:support - ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
I have this problem with graphics acceleration.
It seems to work fine for me with acceleration enabled on my laptop. I'm using an nVidia 555m.
I can try my desktop tomorrow (it uses an ATI card).
I updated my nvidia gfx driver from 260.x to 285.62 (latest). Nothing changed, still got the same problems.
Isn't this a DUPE of bug 656948?
I don't know if this is a dupe. Did this regress with Firefox 10?
The problem emerged with FF10, previously it was fine. We saw the problem with a JQuery fade plugin (http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/basic.html). On our site http://www.ers-international.com/ it faded to black rather then just fade. On the plugin site it worked fine. Turns out that you now (FF10) need to add a background-color or border-color CSS to the image tag, to avoid this problem. You cannot add "transparent". In previous versions of FF and all other browsers this property did not need to be added.
Hardware acceleration off does work. Could be a good hint where the "bug" was introduced?
*** Bug 723896 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
A regression range could help.
You can either download and try the nightly builds or use a tool like https://github.com/mozilla/mozregression
if you use a css rule:
it works!
without graphic acceleration the fade is ok!
Nope, doesn't work for me. Even when it works, I can't change all my customers webpages, because of a bug with the webbrowser. No, there must be something wrong. Because all other FF Version worked fine, even FF 3.0.19.

Testcase with problem
The problem in this testcase seems to be that, if we set a 'float' in CSS, the image will flicker to black. Omitting the float will fix it in this case.
@Sasha van den Heetkamp:
Nope, doesn't solve the problem. I tried it. Btw the crossfading div container never contained float.
Mirko, the test-case is a reduced version that has a correlated issue where more than two CSS selectors applied simultaneously will cause the image to be redrawn.It seems that the image is then redrawn before applying the opacity. Since the drawing is almost instant we get a short black flickering. I made another test-case with an image that is bigger in size. That image loads very slow and consequently when we hover, we see that the image gets drawn over a dark background. That's all I can reduce so far. One possible fix might be, is to see if there are any CSS rules that are applied simultaneously, especially on a hover selector. Another solution might be to set the image background to white, although this is untested.
Happens also on Windows XP, ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, Driver version: 8.872.0.0

We've tested on numerous sites/javascript and adding a background-color or border-color CSS to the image tag fixes this behaviour. The issue is what chnaged in FF 10 to cause this to be necessary.
Confirmed. Setting the background color of the image should fix it. Mirko, if you are in need of a quick solution, try adding: img { background-color:#fff; } just below the /** reset styling **/ in your HTML, as temporary global fix for all images. It should work on the site you gave as an example.
@Sasha: Thanks, this works.

Use mozregression (see http://harthur.github.com/mozregression/) and start with:
mozregression --good=2011-08-16 --bad=2011-09-27
Damn it, now Firefox 11 is out and the BUG (YEAH IT'S A BUG) still exists. That's too bad. Before you add some new features, you should first fix the one's that didn't work. I expect that bug to be fixed in the next update. I still don't understand why this bug still exists. Allot of guys have the some problem and all the other browser doesn't have problems with crossfading. I don't want to know why this isn't be fixed, I want to know WHEN it's going to be fixed, I think this is not to much.
Mirko, don't spam the bug and answer to comment 20 instead, which is the only way to get it fixed.
Talk to my hand, OK!

So this bug only happens with d3d9 layers? If that's the case then maybe its a bug in the d3d9 backend that is exposed by bug 695275.
I think the title of this bug should be modified to be more accurate, because fading works for some people.

It also happens without HW acceleration (see comment 7 and comment 27).

It works if you add a style of background-color to the element you are fading. In all other browsers including FF9 this was not the case. There was/is no need to add this style.
For me, the testcase in comment #30 works fine with BasicLayers and D3D10, but is clearly buggy in D3D9.

Was that intended (remote image in the reference case)?
This just hit a reftest orange, with "723484-1-ref.html | load failed: null", possibly (?) because of that remote image.
That reftest orange being:
Rev3 Fedora 12 mozilla-inbound opt test reftest on 2012-03-20 09:24:26 PDT for push 3b64dbdc8d39
I backed this out, on the assumption that the remote image was unintended & is the cause of the "load failed: null" orange. Also -- I just noticed that there's a reference to the remote image in the testcase, too (as well as the reference case). I think that'd make this an orange-timebomb, failing whenever imgur's servers are overloaded / down (which may have been what happened in comment 54):
Oops, this got merged to mozilla-central before it was backed out. Leaving open because the backout should hit mozilla-central on the next merge.

The fix is in our code (that's what comment 60 meant). It should be available in Nightly builds tomorrow.

> When will this bug fix be incorporated into the code in your estimation?
Per the target milestone, the fix will currently ship to end users first in Firefox 14. However, there's a good chance that approval will be requested to land it for Firefox 12/13 as well. Since you're CCed to this bug, you will see the future emails as that process moves forward.

Risk analysis: extremely simple bug and low-risk patch. Enough impact that Web devs are trying to work around the bug. I strongly recommend aurora and beta approval.

[Triage Comment]
Low risk, and we're early enough still to get some bake time.
I've tested this on different machines on Win 7, Win 7/64, Ubuntu 11.10, Mac OS X 10.6 on FF 10 & 11. I could reproduce the problem only when I set layers.prefer-d3d9 =true only on Win 7/64.
The issue is also not reproducible on FF 12b3 on any of the above OSes.
Marking the bug as verified fixed.

I have ran into this problem this week as well!
It is fixed w/ a background color ALTHOUGH, if you use transform:rotate or
-moz-transform:rotate(270deg); /* Firefox */ in this case... than the problem comes bacK!
so once u rotate your screen in Firefox and try to Toggle Opacity or FadeTo, than the white/black screen issue comes back :(
www.artpineda.com //live sample on my porfolio site using firefox 22.0

Ricoh GXR/A12 50mm Review
|13 Previous
14 Photographic tests (RAW)
|15 Next
Raw and Raw Conversion
Supplied software
The GXR-body comes with the Irodio Photo & Video Studio software package which offers a bit of everything - image browsing and editing (including RAW conversion) and video editing. Each of these modes has a button on the application's main screen. While the white balance, exposure and sharpening options in the RAW conversion module are relatively basic there is a whole stack of image editing options available, including many filters and effects.
The video editing module adopts a story board approach which allows to compose movies from video clips and other types of media. You can create effects and transitions between clips, add captions and overlay audio. Considering it's a bundled software Irodio is quite comprehensive and offers enough functionality to keep beginners and occasional RAW-users happy. However, if you're particularly fussy about your RAW conversion software you'll probably want to look out for alternatives with more options in that area.
Apart from Irodio you'll also find three small tools on the GXR software CD. There is the DL-10 application to copy pictures to the computer in a single operation plus USB- and WIA-drivers. The latter two are for use with older Ricoh models though and not required for the GXR.
RAW conversion
As is normal in the RAW section of our reviews we like to compare the supplied RAW conversion software, any optional manufacturer RAW conversion software and some third party RAW converters. In the case of the GXR we used the supplied Irodio Photo & Video Studio, Camera RAW 5.6 and Capture One 5.0.1
- JPEG - Large/Fine, Default settings
- IRO - Irodio Photo & Video Studio
- ACR - Adobe Camera RAW 5.6
- CAP - Capture One 5.0.1
Color reproduction
Place your mouse over the label below the image to see the color from a GretagMacbeth Color Checker chart produced using each RAW converter. While the out-of-camera JPEG delivers a fairly natural color response the Irodio output is slightly less saturated and contrasty. ACR unusually produces the most saturated and contrasty output while the Capture One rendition on the other hand is extremely flat and with very muted colors.
|Ricoh GXR (A12)
|Compare to:
Sharpness and Detail
The RAW converters produce not only a different color response but also apply varying levels of sharpening. As we've seen in previous reviews Capture One's sharpening at default settings is very strong. The GXR's default JPEGs show very good detail without being over sharpened. The default output of both Irodio and Adobe ACR is slightly softer. Of course sharpening can be adjusted in all of the RAW converters.
|JPEG out of camera (High quality setting, all settings default)
ISO 200 studio scene 100% crop
|Irodio RAW ->JPEG (Default settings)
ISO 200 studio scene 100% crops
|Adobe ACR RAW ->JPEG (Default settings)
ISO 200 studio scene 100% crops
|Capture One RAW ->JPEG (Default settings)
ISO 200 studio scene 100% crops
In the resolution comparison the out-of-camera JPEG shows good resolution with hardly any artifacts. Despite using more sharpening the Capture One output does not squeeze any extra resolution out of the file. It also shows fairly large amounts of color moire. The ACR output is slightly softer than the JPEG but resolves a tiny bit more detail. So does the Irodio image. The latter shows some demosaicing artifacts at higher frequencies though.
|JPEG from camera
|Irodio (RAW)
|Adobe Camera RAW (RAW)
|Capture One (RAW)
Real world advantages
While we used the converters' default settings for the studio shots above we played with the parameters for optimal results during the conversion of this real life shot. Only by using excessive sharpening were we able to generate any additional visible detail in RAW conversion, and even then it's questionable whether we're actually seeing anything beyond the increased sharpness. The Ricoh JPEG engine's demosaicing algorithms are squeezing a lot of the available detail out of the RAW files. Additional detail is therefore not necessarily a reason for shooting RAW with the A12 50mm module.

Farewell, Samer Soliman
"Today I lost part of my life. Farewell, Samer," scholar Amr Abdel Rahman wrote of his longtime friend Samer Soliman, who family, friends, students, and readers lost Sunday after his battle with cancer.
Soliman's death at a critical juncture in the history of Egypt, a nation he lived of and for, has shaken many. As a scholar, an intellectual, an activist, a teacher, and a friend, he lived a life of continual giving.
Soliman led a thorough academic life, traveling between different degrees, the last of which was a Ph.D. he received in political science from the Institute of Political Studies in Paris in 2004. His scholarly path was always outward-looking, transcending the boundaries of academic institutions. He lived the life of an engaged activist and political organizer, who tactfully hoped and genuinely believed in change. He mediated his intellect on the editorial pages of newspapers and through the endless conversations we had with him as journalists and scholars.
Soliman's scholarship was stimulated by a curiosity of the institution of the state and its mechanisms of survival through the internal machinations of the ruling regime. His seminal work, Strong Regime, Weak State, questioned the former regime of President Hosni Mubarak's handling of financial woes while preserving its political position, examining in particular the grave effects of shallowly conceived policies such as international borrowing, otherwise described by scholar Mostafa Hefny as "the temporary stitching of the growing cleavages in the workings of government."
In his more recent work, The Autumn of Dictatorship, Soliman further explored the roots of revolution in the consistent weakening of the state apparatus, which limited political freedoms while financial resources were dwindling. Soliman argued that by investing in a robust security apparatus, the former regime, though remaining strong for three decades, left behind a weakened state. The work can be read retrospectively, but also as a document for the future, with the current government of the Muslim Brotherhood venturing to reproduce the duality of limiting freedoms while running out of economic alternatives.
Mirroring this concern with government policy-making, Soliman was interested in the view from the other side, or otherwise the "social infrastructure of political change." This interest transcended the confines of academic work, and translated itself into his activism, social engagement, and political organizing.
In his lifetime, Soliman was concerned with envisaging the possibilities of a democratic experience within an authoritarian environment. Throughout the process of interrogating these possibilities, Soliman was at the heart of several important initiatives. He co-edited Al-Bosla, a journal whose title literally translates as "the compass" and which became a platform for poignant conversations about how democracy can be born to the very specific conditions of historical development in Egypt.
He also co-founded "Egyptians Against Discrimination," moved by his passionate battle against sectarianism and other forms of discrimination. While many have submitted to the notion that sectarianism has grown to become an inherent sentiment in our society, Soliman recalled a moment in history that powerfully disputed this notion.: the 1919 anti-colonial movement in Egypt, which framed national identity around the battle against British occupation, in which religious identity became only a parcel of this identity. Commenting on the incident of Erian Youssef Saad, a Christian activist who attempted to kill Youssef Pasha Wahba, Christian pro-occupation prime minister back in 1919, he jokingly noted: "To prove that you are truly Egyptian before being a Copt, you will have to start by killing a Copt."
His longtime friend and activist Akram Ismail recalled how Soliman spoke of his upbringing by a leftist father, during which time he never sensed the pains of sectarianism until he stepped outside the confines of his household.
"Samer departed, leaving behind his bitterness from sectarianism and his long struggle for a more humane society," Ismail wrote. "We will miss you."
Soliman's death leaves us alone in a turbulent moment, but armed with all the thoughts and energy with which he filled us. His death makes us wonder about the future of which he often thought, but did not get a chance to see. And above all, his death reminds us of the eternal challenge of struggling so much to live a life ultimately rendered ephemeral by the abrupt moment of death.

Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
Boris Diaw would be quite the pickup for the Boston Celtics.The Charlotte Bobcats and Boris Diaw have agreed to a buyout, according to the Charlotte Observer, making the soon-to-be 30-year-old center available (though early indications are he might be pegged for San Antonio). Should the Celtics consider him if he examines other options? It makes some sense as Diaw has a little bit of Kevin Garnett (his pass-first mentality) and Rasheed Wallace (his much-scrutinized conditioning) in him. Let's break it down:
* While buyout pickings are often slim, Diaw will have plenty of interest being a big man that has averaged 9.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists over nine NBA seasons. After three years as a full-time starter in Charlotte, he moved to a reserve role this season in Charlotte and his offensive production suffered because of it. Despite his talent, you'll hear more about the negatives with Diaw.
* As proof, here's John Hollinger's scouting report that harps on the conditioning issues:
Whoever wrote that French people don't get fat clearly never went to a Bobcats game. Although Diaw's conditioning has had surprisingly little effect on his game, he's clearly been living large of late. It hasn't affected his hunger for passing, however, as he led all power forwards in Pure Point Rating and assist ratio. Diaw eats up small defenders on the left block, where he has a nice right-handed jump hook shot, but the hard part is persuading him to shoot. He averaged just 13.3 points per 40 minutes, even though he's become a decent mid-range shooter that hit 44.6 percent of his long 2s last season and shot 34.5 percent on 3s. He chews up most big men off the dribble, too, with his superior ballhandling skills, but in spite of all that he finished below the league average for power forwards in usage rate. His rebounding famine is another problem. While Diaw has advantages in most respects at the power forward spot, he rebounds like a wing. His conditioning is part of the issue, plus he's not a leaper and he's a bit undersized. He was second-to-last among power forwards in rebound rate at a pathetic 9.0.
* His offensive numbers this season are truly an eyesore. Diaw grades out as poor, averaging a mere 0.716 points per play (14th percentile), according to Synergy Sports data. What's more, he grades as poor in transition, putbacks, and pick-and-roll, while also being below average in spot up and post situations (his two most frequent play types, accounting for 43.4 percent of his total offensive possessions). His offensive rating this season is a mere 89 (though 106 for his career).
* Charlotte coach Paul Silas detailed the frustrations with Diaw earlier this month. From the Observer:
"I like a player who is really committed to not only the team but to himself and then doing the best he can as a player,'' Silas said. "Some of the things that would go on, like not shooting the ball, passing all of the time'' were unacceptable. "I needed hoops and he could put the ball in the hoop. When that wouldn't happen it was very disturbing. I think if he had played all out, the way he should have, it would have been a much, much better club."
* Diaw and Rajon Rondo are ever-so slightly linked. During the summer of 2005, the Hawks traded Diaw, a 2006 first-round pick (which would later be Rondo), and a 2008 first-round pick (which would later be Robin Lopez) to the Phoenix Suns for Joe Johnson. The Suns drafted Rondo for Boston before a draft-night trade sent him to Boston with Brian Grant for a 2007 first-round pick (which would later be Rudy Fernandez).
Finals thought: Like every big man we've examined in this space, Diaw is flawed. But he's probably also the most talented overall (the question is simply if his next team can get that talent out of him). He's not the best rebounder and he can't run the floor -- two troubling aspets if you're the Celtics. But for a team desperate for big men, to get one with talented would be a quality haul.

After yesterday's heavy but heavenly Cheesy Baked Mashed Potatoes, I thought I'd lighten things up a bit with this flavorful Thanksgiving salad. It has all kinds of goodies like spinach, peppery arugula, crunchy walnuts, sweet cranberries and tangy goat cheese. Then all of these goodies are tossed in a quick cranberry vinaigrette. It is the perfect way to get your Thanksgiving cranberries in "non-log" form.
I generally look forward to all Thanksgiving traditions, all traditions that is except cranberry sauce. I don't have many fond memories of the "sauce" that is in the shape of a can. There is just something about the way it plops out of the can while still remaining in the can shape that does not appeal to me. When it gets passed to me at our Thanksgiving table I just keep on passing. That is not to say however that I don't like cranberries themselves. In fact, dried sweetened cranberries are really quite delicious, especially when they are added to dishes such as this salad. The combination of the peppery arugula, salty walnuts and creamy goat cheese pairs nicely with the sweetness of the cranberries.
This salad is quick, easy, flavorful and best of all might bring a little more pretty to your Thanksgiving table than say, a log of cranberry "sauce". I'm just sayin'. Enjoy!
