The official GTA:IV easteregg topic. V2.0
The Official Easteregg & Reference topic V2.0!
Ok as you guys know the other topic was getting long, you guys were posting away in the topic the first post was getting way too long and hard to update.
So this topic is of course dedicated to all the easter eggs and references in GTA IV, for example if you find a reference from another game, or a reference to something in real life, or just an easter egg post it here and discuss it in this thread, all things found will like my other topic, be posted as they are found.
By the way you can refer the origional topic by going here
The List
If any are repeated, let me know so I can remove them.
1. Heart of Liberty City
If you go to the statue of happieness, you will find an underworld enterence, if you enter a certain door there, you will go into a room that is a beating heart, also called the heart of the city, the door you enter says "No hidden content this way"
found by MyNameIsRamone
2. GTA 3 pager music
one of the ringtones for your first phone is the pager music from GTA3.
found by jwrebholz
3. Origional GTA theme
Some of the pedestrian phones play the original GTA theme.
4. Love Fist Reference
In the second part of the city, one of the signs read "**** Starring Love Fist", Love fist stared on Vice cities V-Rock.
5. Bulllworth Acamedy reference
If you watch the TV show "I'm Rich" they briefly show Bullworth Academy from Bully/Canis Canem Edit. There is Also quite a bit of San Andreas footage as well as footage from Red Dead Revolver can be seen on TV too.
These three eastereggs were found by Nikolai & Part of the Bullworth Reference was added on by Jimmy_86
6. Vinewood
There's some celebrity radio talk show that if you listen to you can here celeberaties refer to vinewood, vinewood was the spin-off to holywood in San Andreas. Also the laundromat right across the street from your first safehouse is called Vinewood Laundromat, and the second time Roman texts you about taxi side-missions the text says that he's tired of ferrying around 80 year old Vice City residents and that you can take a couple if you want.
Some references found by Clayton
7. GTA main characters
In the first mission you do for Dwayne, when Niko sits down, there is graffiti in the background. Written there is things like "R.I.P, We will miss you." also, you see "Claude" written there. Claude is GTA 3's main character.
found by n00bpwner
Also (Found by Eli )
It also says things like never forget and "Tommy" along with "Victor" and the names of other persons you've played with in a GTA game.
But In the wall with all the past GTAs paintings there's more to it. I went to it and looked at it for a long time and actually "explored it". The pic that atdray posted has just a small bit of painting, but if you go there you will see that near El Burro(the fat guy in white shirt with the belly out :p) there's many small pictures of people from past games and many actually seem to be from the Top Down Grand Theft Autos. If you keep going right you'll see Misti from GTA III and a red helicopter which was on a box art of one of the GTAs.
If you go to the wall facing north you'll again see the pics from El Burro, Misti and farther west you'll see a red motorcycle(which I think was also in one of the box arts) and one of the "twins" from Vice City.
If you go to the wall facing south you'll see a garage door reading something like "Only paint with permission- -Weekdays- Crew(or something) - - Weekends 12 Until (can't read).

I cracked up at the "science of crime" commercial on the radio....It really is funny how CSI has multiple locations with basically the same plots (still a damn good show) The ringtone was even funnier because it's the end of that "The Who" song they play in the beginning credits of CSI New york....GTA satires are some of the best out there...

19. Giant rooster
If you go to the screamer, next to it there's a mini golf, if you go near its entrance you'll see the rooster that appeared in a small village in the desert near Las Venturas.
It's not only the giant cock from San Andreas on the mini golf course, there's also the Ganton towers (not teepees) from LS and a SA countryside style windmill thing. And then there's the Vice City lighthouse which has "Firefly Island" written down the side as well as the Ocean View Hotel from VC.

Found by Slim Trashman
21. Cops on crooks
If you go to the LCPD station with the Annihilator helicopter (East coast of Algonquin, up north - next to a gas station) and then go inside the door that leads to the helipad, you go up one (maybe 2?) flights of stairs and there are 3 cops standing round some guy lying on the ground. Appears that they beat him or something, and if you remember in San Andreas if you entered the back of the Los Santos police station you would see a cop beating up a ped.
Found by Colonelkillgore
22. Cluckin' Bell Kids meal
If you go to any Cluckin' Bell and walk around you'll see a crystal box with a toy with a chicken-head helmet in it. The box reads as follows:

Clucky much like a spin-off to the "Happy Meal" from actural Mcdonalds restaronts.

31. Yoga/kung-fu/Taichi peds
If you go to West Dyke in Alderny City and follow the main dirt raod leading out to the ocean and a jetty (an assination mission takes place here) you'll notice a PED doing Yoga or Kung-fu or something on top of a hill while looking out into the ocean.
These two were found by Fry.
There is also a ped doing the same thing on a giant rock looking out into the ocean in West Dyke, a view through the scope of a sniper provides a closer look. A fly by in a helicopter too close will "spook" him like it would other pedestrians and in attempt to flee he will ultimately fall off the rock to his death.

33. Car with invinsibility (spoiler warning)
Go to your phonebook, select Jacob and select "Guns", go to his location, buy weapons or armor if you want to and then hit L1, he'll close the trunk, but if you try to steal the car you won't be able to. Niko just tries opening the door but doesn't break the crystal down.
basically you can cause damage to it, it's just that you're not able to steal it, you can also kill Little Jacob without losing Like %. He'll afterwards call you to pick him up at the hospital.
An indestructible vehicle would be the TUG(the big rusty boat) you can randomly find at several places. even shooting at it with RPG's will not cause it to blow up.

44. Car manufacturers spin-off
On the left rear bumper of the Blista Compact you'll see a label, just under the left taillamp, saying "INVARIBLE VALVE TIMING", a play on Honda's much-ballyhooed VTEC variable-valve timing system.
Both the Dukes and Ruiner share the manufacturer "IMPONTE". If you aren't paying close attention it's easy to mis-read it as "IMPOTENT".
Many of the cars in-game have their engine sizes emblazoned somewhere on the car--mostly the muscle cars. The Dukes, for example, proclaims it has a 550CI Supercharged engine under the hood (look on the fender, just ahead of the doors). The Blista Compact claims a fuel-injected L4 (right rear). The Bobcat is sporting a honking V10 (front fenders). The Vigero and Feltzer both proclaim V8 power lurks under their hoods in various places (the Vigero on the rear end, the Feltzer on the front fenders)
the Dukes car is a kinda obvious reference to the Dukes of Hazzard, it's the same '69 Charger they use.

45. Dangerous helicopters
Get a chopper ride with Brucie (might work at Helitours) and on the inside there is a sticky saying:
"This helicopter might crash but we really don't care if it does (Then it says something along the lines of refer to manual for help)"
Found by Killer Coco
46. Haunted Stroller
We're not even sure if this really qualifies as an "Easter egg" per se, but it's always in the same place and it's creepy as hell, so in it goes. You can find this stroller abandoned on a sandy hillside just southwest of Francis International Airport, and while it looks like just another piece of garbage cluttering up the game world, it's actually a lot more ominous than that.
Think about it: have you ever seen a kid in a GTA game? No, you haven't. In fact, with the exception of Louise's baby in Vice City Stories (who doesn't count, because she only shows up in cutscenes) and a few radio bits, there's never even been evidence of kids in the GTA world.
Or there wasn't until we saw this stroller, anyway, which sits alone, parked on a hillside in more or less pristine condition, with no parents or baby in sight. Just a rusted-out car and some big, dangerous-looking rocks. If you stop to think about it, this one lonely object tells a whole sordid story.
Eerie, huh? Remind us to go back there on a dark, moonless night sometime.
Postred by ChandlerBing
This is most likely a reference to children of men. A book and movie in which the human population has lost the ability to have babies. Anyway on the books cover is a picture of a lonely unused baby stroller and in the movie a similar style of baby stroller is seen in one shot of the movie, sitting there looking old and used. As we all know there are no kids in GTA just like children.

48. Reference to Sexuraly Transmitted Diseases (STD's).

50. Indiana Jones reference
On the Random Character Brian 2nd encounter, he talking about the drugs he just bought and calls it a boulder, then he says to Niko "You know that movie where that guy's on a mountain getting chased by that giant boulder?" Niko says "No."
This is refering the classic Indiana Jones scene of running from the boulder.
51. King Kong reference
When visiting the Rotterdam Tower (Empire State Building) with Brucie, he says "If I was that big chimp, I'd climb it too! My arms probably aren't as big but who cares."
It's gotta be a King Kong reference.
Found by GT409
52. Craplist sexual humour
If you go to craplist on the internet in GTA 4 and look at the personals you will see one for a guy that is living with a doll and he says things like "I am still open to dating real women if they could accept me for who I am". Obviously a joke that the real him is a bit odd, he also goes on to describe how he plays with his doll online. Anyway, I think this is a reference to this documentary that was aired on TV a while ago. It's a documentary about guys who live with realdolls. Or life size sex toys and are using them as a stand in for a real women. It's called guys and their dolls. A bit odd this one.
Maybe it hasn't been mentioned before or maybe it has but isn't craplist a spoof on cregslist.com where they have the same type of information and links as GTA 4's craplist?

The following list was posted by ChandlerBing
Invisible rider
Get killed or somehow otherwise get to Schottler Medical Center. Enable the "Spawn Sanchez" code. Look at the inside of the hospital from the bottom of the stairs. Keep pressing A on the "Cheat" option of your cell phone until you see a Sanchez appear inside the hospital. Go up to it, and get on the bike. Either all the walls will disappear, all the walls will have inverse colors, or everything will turn very bright white. No matter what, Niko will be invisible and so will your gun if you choose to fire it. The muzzle flash appears but the gun itself does not. You can get on and off the bike. Note: If you try to go outside the hospital, you will become visible again.
Fall through ground
Drive a large vehicle, such as an SUV, to Francis International Airport. Drive sideways under a moving plane so that the wheels are pushing into you. Sometimes you and the car will drop below the world. After a few seconds, you will respawn back on land with the vehicle gone.
Get to the part where you go into the subway about halfway through the mission "Your Shirt, Your Boots, Your Motorcycle". Stay to the left. When the subway car comes towards you, keep left, and try to get in-between the wall and the subway car. Doing this will drop you into "blue hell" for a few seconds before popping you back up.
Go to "Fishmarket South" (where you do one mission for Bernie). Find the Anchor statue near the sea. Go towards the water and over the little dock into the water. Swim to the right (south) until you see a wooden "pier" against the wall. It should have square gaps that you can hop through. Jump through the one to the far right (the first one you swim past), and move towards the wall. You will fall down into "blue hell".
Swim under city
Go to the north part of the map, just northwest of Butterfly Street in Bohan. Then, get down to the outskirts of the land, and walk towards the corner between the brick wall and the cliff. You can walk through the invisible wall. Lookup towards the city to see the city from below. You can also continue onwards and swim under the city.
Lara Croft appearance in Multiplayer mode
Reach rank 1 in all events to unlock all clothes and items. Then, use the following options to create Lara Croft:
Gender: Female
Hair: 2/5
Head: 3/4
Torso: 4/4
Legs: 6/6
Glasses: 1/2
Hats: None
Crude humor references
Cherry Popper
Look at the side of an ice cream van. It reads "Cherry Popper".
Inside the laundromat, the detergent being used and prominently displayed above the back washing machine is "Jizz! Big Washing Power", an obvious attempt at crude humor.
The Brown Note
Near Faustin's house is a reference to a legendary musical note. When you are in the area, proceed to the dead end about a block away towards the water. Hop over the fence on your left while facing the water, and a man should be sitting on a bench reading a book titled "The Brown Note". Musician's joke that this is a note that when played causes bowel movements by the person playing it.
Cop names
During the intermission sequence for the "I'll Get Her" mission, look closely behind Gerry Mcreary. There is a whiteboard for shift changes for the prison guards. Some of their names are Phil McCrevis (feel my crevice) and Richard Head (dick head).
Movie references
Reach the part of the game where Niko and Roman have a safehouse in South Bohan. In the house on the left of the table near the television is a pile of books. The middle purple book in a stack of three is titled "Madness & Blasphemy: The Do's and Dont's". This is an reference to the movie 300 where in the "This is Sparta!" scene, the lines "This is blasphemy! This is madness!" are spoken.
Le Fin Absolue Du Monde
This film is referenced in the city and in the in-game internet. Go by Frankfort Ave. in Algonquin to find a poster of a movie called "The Flying Whore". That poster is a reference to Le Fin Absolue Du Monde, the fake deadly-film featured in the short movie Cigarette Burns by John Carpenter in the Masters Of Horror series on TV. To see a funny review of that movie, search for it at the online cultural magazine of Liberty City through the in-game internet.
Point Break
In Packie's "Three Leaf Clover" mission, while Michael is watching the hostages, one of the men on the floor turns to a man next to him and tells him that he is a member of a gun club and when the time is right they will fight back. When Michael is distracted, the man stands up, shoots Michael, then in turn is killed by Packie and his brother. This is a reference to the bank heist in the movie Point Break.
Reservoir Dogs
When shooting at cops, you will sometimes hear them yell "I'm going to be OK!", just like Mr. Orange in Reservoir Dogs. -From: Dom Scarpa
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The mission "I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, And Your Motorcycle" is a reference to the line spoken by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The Big Lebowski
While you are bowling, you can hear random conversations in the background. If you listen closely, you can occasionally hear someone order a White Russian, The Dude's favorite drink from the movie The Big Lebowski. The Dude was an avid bowler, and several scenes from the movie take place in a bowling alley.
The Revenger's Tragedy
The final mission, "A Revenger's Tragedy", is a reference to the play and movie based on the play titled The Revenger's Tragedy.
To Live And Die In L.A.
The mission "To Live And Die in Alderney" is a reference to the movie To Live And Die In L.A.
The numbers on blue armored prison transport truck are KSC-303, which is a reference to the main character of the Japanese film Versus, who is known as Prisoner KSC2-303.
Weekend At Bernie's
The mission "Weekend At Florian's" is a reference to the film Weekend At Bernie's.
People references
You can find street art in the style of Banksy, a British street artist, at various locations in the city.
Chuck Norris
Go to any Cluckin' Bell to find a plastic covering with a man in a chicken suit inside of it. Read the label. It says free "Cluck Norris" toy with every meal.
Sometimes when you walk past a pedestrian they will say "Looks it's your friendly neighbor..., oh no never mind."
Product reference
In any of the launderettes, you will be able to see an advertisement for the washing powder "FUD", which is a parody of "Daz", which is a laundry powder in England.
Video game references
Assassin's Creed
The "Assassin's Greed" achievement for completing all nine assassin missions is a reference to the game Assassin's Creed. (in Assassin's creed you also had to assassinate 9 people)
Go into any of Niko's safehouses, and watch the television show "I'm Rich". Every so often a blonde girl's story will start, explaining her life. It says what school she went to as a child, which happens to be Bullworth Academy from the Rockstar game Bully.
When Niko hands his CV into the lawyers, it states he attended Bullworth University in England. The Bully game was set in Bullworth Academy in New England.
Grand Theft Auto 3
Across the road from the Bank Of Liberty is a building with some artwork of El Burro, D-Ice and 8-Ball from Grand Theft Auto 3 and the GTA 3 box art, all mixed in with some generic graffiti.
Once you are free to go anywhere, on the first island, go to the map to see an 8-ball logo. When you go there, it is a bar called 8-Ball, an obvious reference to 8-Ball from Grand Theft Auto 3.
Go to Brucie's auto shop. Then, go south down the road. Just before the turn, you can find a wooden Belly-Up fish crate on the sidewalk. Belly-Up Fish was one of the Triad controlled businesses in Grand Theft Auto 3.
In the "Portrait Of A Killer" mission, look opposite of all the gang members you have to kill, at the wall on the big house with three fire stairs on it. You can see an image of a woman holding a gun. She can also be found on the cover art from Grand Theft Auto 3.
On the last island is a destroyed boat and factory. In Grand Theft Auto 3, you destroyed a drug boat for the mob. The boat is at the very top part of the island.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Some of the ringtones you can choose for the more "modern" phones are actually songs from GTA: Liberty City Stories.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
While watching television in a safehouse, a commercial featuring a NASCAR-like racing event will appear. All of the clips showing the racing are shot from GTA: San Andreas at the airport in Los Santos, using a Hotring Racer.
While watching television in a safehouse, flip through the channels until the "I'm Rich" show is on. After it ends, another episode of it will return, but is not the same episode. Watch through it. At one point you will hear the narrator say "Your life will be as exciting as a soda commercial". At that point, you can see CJ briefly in a multicolored suit freefalling above San Andreas.
Go to a TW@ Internet Cafe, log into a computer, and enter "www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com" as a URL. Go to the thread titled "Health is a gift from space. Worship the Worm". You will see a response from "The Truth", or his online username "Trooth".
Exit your safehouse on Broker, and go to your right down the street. When you get to the intersection, turn right. The second shop is called the "Hot Coffee Shop". This a reference to the "Hot Coffee" mod from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
After your first date with Michelle, try to take it further when dropping her off at home. If you fail, Niko will ask if he can come in for some coffee, and she will reply that he would need $2 million for it, referring to the legal settlement for the "Hot Coffee" incident arising from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Go on a date with Carmen. She might talk about how she hates living in Bohan and wanted to live in Algonquin. She will then say how Algonquin was too expensive, and says that she would like to live in Los Santos.
Go behind the Memory Lanes bowling alley on Firefly Island, and explore the golf course. Walk around until you see a chicken. It is a miniature version of the giant Feed Seed chicken located in the desert in Las Venturas. You can also find a wind turbine from the game.
When you are in Playboy X's mansion, look under the television to find a blurry Madd Dogg album.
The porno shop found in San Andreas also appears in Liberty City. It is at Star Junction near the corner of Lorimar St. and Denver-Exeter Ave., almost directly in the middle of Algonquin in a very bright area.
There is a bar called the "Vinewood Bar & Grill".
Behind Funland are the Hippo garbage cans from GTA: San Andreas.
On Applewhite St. there is a sign that reads "Visit Las Venturas, $200".
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Go behind the Memory Lanes bowling alley on Firefly Island, and explore the golf course. Some of the attractions are actually small models of familiar landmarks from previous games. You can find the Ocean View Hotel from GTA: Vice City.
Across the road from the Bank Of Liberty is a building with some artwork of a motorbike from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City mixed in with some generic graffiti.
The "Pager" ringtone is the same as the Rockstar theme used in the introduction sequence in GTA: Vice City.
When you enter any of the bars, you can see postcards of Vice City.
Red Dead Revolver
Watch the Weazel and CNT channels on the television in a safehouse. You will see a commercial that uses scenes from Red Dead Revolver, which is another Rockstar game.
Rockstar Games
On Vauxite St. there is a storefront called "Rock Star Music and Video" that alludes to Rockstar Games.

#26 and 31 are the same. You could maybe combine them both, since one has the snapmap? Just a heads up.
BTW, I went to Scott Alexander's website, and my GOD, Brucie was undoubtedly based off him!

lmao I just walked out the door of my Algonquin safehouse and found a geek-like guy, he said "LOL", then turned around and kept waking, the back of his shirt read "CREVIS".

If you go to the National Union of Contemporary Arts(NUCA; it's about a block east from Steinway Beer Garden) you will find a "masterpiece" made with blocks that resembles a guy masturbating.
There's also something else of someone masturbating in another place but I can't remember where right now.

Tubular steel Pannier racks for the BMW F650GS-Twin, F700GS and F800GS. The rack attaches at existing frame points on the bike and does not require any drilling or cutting to install. Touratech's tough, cross-braced rack system acts like an additional subframe, strengthening the rear of the bike. And in some cases acts like a rear crashbar.
A complete bolt-on pannier set (29+35L) is available, item 052-2001. We recommend 29L for exhaust side, and 35L for the other side as the proper size for these lighter-weight traveling motorcycles. All of the pre-mounted panniers (152-1031, 152-1032, and 152-1033-0) panniers fit this rack.

Broccoli Potato Soup RecipeBroccoli Potato Soup
Many canned soups have over 800 milligrams of sodium per one cup serving. By making your own soup with fresh ingredients, you eliminate the preservatives and control the added salt that contribute to high sodium content. Stir up a pot of this quick soup on Sunday, and enjoy it for lunch throughout your week.
Tips for the cook: Add the salt a little at a time, and take a taste after each addition. You might find you like the flavor of the soup with even less salt than called for in this recipe. The low-fat milk offers just a touch of creamy consistency to the finished soup, but feel free to omit it.
Yield: 6, 1-cup servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 5 small, red or white-skinned new potatoes, cubed (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1 quart no-salt-added chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high and add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent. Add the broccoli and the potatoes. Cook about 1 minute more.
- Pour in the stock. Bring the soup to a low boil, and then reduce the heat. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli and potatoes are tender.
- Use a potato masher to gently mash up some of the potatoes and the broccoli in the soup.
- Stir in the fresh dill and milk. Add the salt and pepper. Serve warm.

MART (December 3, 2012) - Authorities in the small town of Mart are sharpening their drug enforcement tactics after seizing more marijuana in 2012 than both 2010 and 2011 combined.
Many might call it a drug problem, but Chief of Police David Monthey calls it a challenge.
"Marijuana has always been present in Mart, but it's never been this prevalent," Monthey said.
"We're upset to know that it is here in the town, but we remain positive knowing we're making a dent in seizures."
Mart has a population of less than 3,000 people and its police department only has four officers, so it was unusual when Monthey noticed growth in marijuana trafficking within city limits.
In the last month the department has seized $5,000 worth of marijuana, which is typically the amount seized in eight or nine months.
"The increase has gone up by around 40% from what we saw in both last year and the year before combined," Monthey said.
Due to packaging consistency from recent marijuana seizures, Monthey feels a supplier has set up shop in Mart.
"Normally you see it being packaged in different bags, different containers," Monthey said.
"But most of our marijuana seizures are packaged in a similar fashion, so we're under the impression it's coming from one individual in the area."
Monthey feels that recent seizure numbers don't reflect a marijuana problem, but rather a success for his officers who have stepped up their drug efforts.
"You can never stop crime, but you can deter it. We're hitting their pocket books when we take it off the streets," Monthey said.
As the Mart Police Department continues to advance their war on drugs, Monthey believes other crimes will begin to decrease in the area.
"It's our way of cutting off the snake's head," Monthey said.
"If we can put a thumb down on them, our firm belief is they will find somewhere else to sell their drugs and take it out of Mart."

Wellington's Logan Woodbridge was the medalist at the Collegiate Golf Tournament at Cherry Oaks last week.
He shot a 74 which was one shot better than Augusta's Kesten Trebbe and two better than Alan Joyal of Valley Center.
Woodbridge opened with a 38 on the front nine and finished with a solid 36 on the back nine to get the win.
No other Crusader placed in the top 15 although Nick Becker and Brian Peck each finished with solid scores of 82. Chance Russell shot a 92 and Graysen DeJarnett shot an 89. Matt Hughes shot a 107.
Kapaun Mount Carmel won the team title in a tie-breaker over collegiate. Kansas City Piper came in third, just in front of Wellington. Buhler came in fifth and Tonganoxie, Hesston, Andover, August and Valley Center rounded out the top ten.

Beta3 upgrade woes...
Well, this is not going particularly well
Have updated my application, and all controllers and models to not use their 'reg' methods, but be classes in their own right (with I think is a good idea btw, although would be nice to be able to include requires and statics in an application).
Seems that 'pages' are no longer controlled by a controller though, apps have no 'defaultUrl', and there is no Router or Dispatch!
What are you meant to do now then? The guide only has a single 'page' so that's not much use in this instance (although is a step in the right direction I think).
For now am just putting my default page action into launch for now, just to get something on screen.
Now hit an issue with 'layout.setOwner' is not a function... can see it getting called ok for lots of other layouts (after putting breakpoint on it), but the one it errors on is 'fit', i.e. a string and not an object.
Not got time to come up with an example case at the moment, since my control structure is a little complex, but anyone else seen this, where a layout instance has not been created properly from the string?
Appreciate any help.
17 Apr 2011 9:04 AM #2
i also have some problems to follow
If i look to the nested loading examples, there are some magics inside, like:
me.getBookView().bind(record); me.getReviewList().bind(record, me.getReviewsStore());
Also the new syntax from the guide:
this.control({ 'viewport > panel': { render: this.onPanelRendered } });
The nested loading use "selectors" in "refs", also not mentioned anywhere.
Hard to get a complete picture without debugging example apps.
westy, i think the control function is the one to use, also to change the views. it would be nice to have at least one example which uses different views in viewport, exchanging them etc.vg Steffen

17 Apr 2011 9:56 AM #3
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, suspect need to have a look at the control stuff, had enough for today though...
Could those getters be like the automagic ones created by initConfig but for views and bbars perhaps?
17 Apr 2011 2:00 PM #4
A quick look into the sources and your good
In the controller definition you have
PHP Code:
Ext.define('Books.controller.Books', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
models: ['Book'],
stores: ['Books', 'Reviews'], // <-- Reviews store => getReviewsStore()
refs: [
{ref: 'bookSideBar', selector: 'booksidebar'},
{ref: 'bookView', selector: 'bookview'}, //<--- ref: bookView => getBookView()
{ref: 'reviewList', selector: 'reviewlist'}
PHP Code:
constructor: function(config) {
this.mixins.observable.constructor.call(this, config);
Ext.apply(this, config || {});
this.createGetters('model', this.models);
this.createGetters('store', this.stores);
this.createGetters('view', this.views);
if (this.refs) {
this.ref(this.refs); // <-- generate magic component query view ref
createGetters: function(type, refs) {
type = Ext.String.capitalize(type);
Ext.Array.each(refs, function(ref) {
var fn = 'get',
parts = ref.split('.');
// Handle namespaced class names. E.g. feed.Add becomes getFeedAddView etc.
Ext.Array.each(parts, function(part) {
fn += Ext.String.capitalize(part);
fn += type;
if (!this[fn]) {
this[fn] = Ext.Function.pass(this['get' + type], [ref], this);
// Execute it right away
ref: function(refs) {
var me = this;
refs = Ext.Array.from(refs);
Ext.Array.each(refs, function(info) {
var ref = info.ref,
fn = 'get' + Ext.String.capitalize(ref);
if (!me[fn]) {
me[fn] = Ext.Function.pass(me.getRef, [ref, info], me);
For the ComponentQuery: You can still use the xtype (or alias)
PHP Code:
this.control({".xtype_name": render: {}});
18 Apr 2011 1:23 AM #5
Ok, after another hour of head scratching have got something on screen... changing a panel from a JSON object with an xtype to an Ext.create got around the layout string issue, although I have no idea why!
Unfortunately nothing is laid out correctly now; two panels that should be in a border layout, with a split have only the top one showing; a very simple form panel for login now has no height!! Quite a mess!
I really think the changes in beta3 are far too sweeping to warrant the fact we ever hit beta.
I seem to remember the API was meant to be static once we got to beta?
Oh well, guess I have to live with it and try and sort it out. Going to waste the best part of a day though where I should be wrestling with the new tree (or is that a table )!
18 Apr 2011 1:56 AM #6
Seems that setting bodyPadding on the form panel gives a height to it content... very odd...

Completely frustrated as well
Hi Westy,
I am frustrated about the changes in Beta3 as well. Besides a lot of new bugs that have been introduced the API has completely changed, namespaces have been completely reshuffled and the examples are either minified or using black magic.
Up until Beta 2 I was very excited about the changes and the rate of bug fixes, but not so much now. In fact, I am thinking about dropping ExtJS 4 altogether until a final release is available. I spent a lot of time creating an application that worked on Beta 2 which now has to be completely rewritten. I understand that some changes still need to make it into the release, but changes like these, without any warning or description, is not very nice to the development community that is participating in testing the beta (?).
18 Apr 2011 6:03 AM #8
Yeah, it's frustrating... lots of new issues have appeared it seems.
I'm making progress, but am now trying to fathom how controllers are meant to get wired up to things that are not as simple as 'example' in the guide. That and figuring out how to do pages properly.
I had a controller mechanism that I was happy with, using a View mixin I created that forced a view to specify its controller, then dispatched to that. Simple, and effective...
Not sure I like being forced to use ComponentQuery when I know at the time of writing what I want to call within looking in the DOM at runtime!
I hope they get a bugfix release out asap, since this is like going back to PR1 or 2 for the amount of issues.
18 Apr 2011 6:11 AM #9
We feel your frustrations too. Here were all along creating our MVC application and beta 3 completely changes everything. Since we wrote a mobile application using Touch MVC we used that model for Ext JS 4. Now everything has completely changed and our application is whacked. We used Ext.dispatch and Ext.router and they are completely gone.
We have a lot of questions right now.

Hah, that's almost exactly what I did. I specified the controller in the view using the Sencha Touch method of putting it in the .view namespace and then dispatched events and stuff to methods in the controller. The handler only received data it needed for handling the event.
Apparently Views in the new MVC should not know about the controller (as I was told in another thread), but that sounds a little rigid to me. Now the whole controller-view mechanism depends on:
1. The view having an xtype alias, otherwise the controller cannot find it using CQ
2. The controller needing to know where the view roughly is ('viewport > userlist') instead of just using events
3. The controller needing to know what parameters an event from the view sends (or hardcoding view structure into the controller)
It all sounds a little unconfortable to me. At the one hand a lot of work is done on trying to split up everything into views, controllers, models, views, but on the other hand things can only work when controllers know about views and vice versa...
I am stopping my efforts on B3 for now before I pull all my hair out in frustration. Good luck with your efforts!

is there any infobox available in Openlayers same like google maps infobox google maps infobox
OpenLayers has some different popups, but the most similar to google maps, as CaptDragon suggest, is the OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud.
Take a look at this popupMatrix example.
Here's another example.
Agree with CaptDragon's comment above as I thought the same thing. So I started to look into other options and found GeoExt (www.geoext.org). Here's a link to an example of their popup solution:
The nice thing about using this style is that you can use many of the ExtJS capabilities in the popup as well. So, we currently have popups with tabs which allow the user to select different bits of info when one clicks on a point.
We're using GeoExt 1.0 and ExtJS 3.4 presently. GeoExt 1.1 recently came out but there might be an issue with the Tree code and seems like some of the examples are now broken. Still, I used the popup without incorporating GeoExt further. But, you can also download 1.0 still.
There are other options out there to look into as well. But, GeoExt works fairly well with OpenLayers and one of the reasons I decided to use it for our app.

I recently ran across the Panosaurus website, and Max Lyons' site, and have been considering trying this out. I've been checking out the competition.

sorry I have come to this discussion a tad late.
I already have a R1 with 8mm and 10.5mm ring with a nadir adapter.
I was wondering what my options would be to get a complete spherical pano on a pole.
I don't know how both the zenith or the nadir would be covered given that the nadir adapter would be totally useless on the pole.
Im using a D300 with 8mm and 10.5 for panos.
My preference would be for 10.5 before the 8mm
all suggestions are most welcome.

At age 34, Andrew Wolff is making previously unreachable dreams become reality for hundreds of at risk Cambodian children.
This might seem a stretch for a former businessman who began his second career as a teacher after earning his MA in English as a second language and multicultural education at CU-Boulder in 2006. However, after teaching for a year at an area charter school, Wolff felt constrained by the educational system. Always the adventurer, he bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, hoping to volunteer as a teacher somewhere in Southeast Asia.
While traveling in Cambodia, he met like-minded Jenny Ciucci, and they co-founded Children's Future International (CFI), which operates exclusively on donor funding. Located in Sous Ey in northwest Cambodia, CFI provides a haven for impoverished and marginalized children whose families still reel from the rampant genocide of the 1975 to 1979 Khmer Rouge regime. During that time, intellectuals were particularly persecuted. As one result, the area's educational system sorely lacks qualified teachers for Cambodia's younger generation.
"I didn't expect to ultimately commit my life to an organization in Cambodia," admits Wolff. "But I wanted to serve children in some teaching capacity because it's what I enjoy and am really good at." He and Ciuccci quickly realized, though, that providing an education for these children also entails building a community in which they are safe, fed and healthy so they can even attend school.
Thanks to CFI's multiple well-being programs, 200-plus children now receive basic education in Khmer literacy, English, math, computer skills, music, art, sports and critical thinking. In addition to its three-room learning center, CFI also funds and operates a safehouse that currently houses six young women and a children's home for 16 boys and girls.
School of Education professor Kathy Escamilla, PhD, said, "Andrew is typical of a student who takes the school's mission of social justice very seriously. He is utilizing what he learned at CU, including strategies of second language acquisition, in his bilingual school. Through CFI, he makes sure those Cambodian children are learning 21st-century skills. We're proud of him and admire very much the work he is doing."
CFI is a U.S.-based 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. Visit www.childrensfutureinternational.org for more information.

Shlomo Sternberg (math professor at Harvard) wrote a book called "Group theory and physics". On p156 (link) there's a strange offhand comment:
"Experiments done in 1964 by Fitch and Cronin seem to indicate that CP is not conserved. I do not fully understand the issues involved in the correct interpretation of this experiment, which clearly shows that CP and CPT are not both conserved. It follows from the locality axioms, that quantum field theory implies that CPT is a symmetry of nature, and hence that CP is violated in the Fitch-Cronin experiment. But other, group theoretical, hypotheses might favor CP. I have my own views on the subject, which I will not expand on in this book."
I cannot find any other publication where Prof. Sternberg elaborated his views on this. But he obviously suspects that CP is an exact symmetry while CPT is not.
So the question is: (1) Does the Fitch-Cronin experiment (or any other) disprove CP? Or does it only "show that CP and CPT are not both conserved"? (2) If the latter, is it remotely plausible that CPT is false? (How universal is the CPT theorem? Does it hold even in string theory?)

Choosing Party Venues
Out of the House
Although hosting a party removed from your home presents its own unique challenges, you will also reap incredible rewards, such as having help with the party planning and leaving cleanup to someone else. The following sections help you consider a number of options for away-from-home celebrations.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and bars are the second-most popular venue for parties (after the host's home) for good reason. Parties in restaurants and bars, while generally more expensive than home-hosted parties, offer a wealth of amenities, especially when it comes to actually executing the party.
- Pros Although you'll need to put forth a bit of effort in planning the party, someone else will do all the really time-consuming work, such as preparing and serving the food and drink, decorating the venue, and cleaning up. You won't need to monitor the party a great deal because the restaurant or bar staff is excellent at logistics, nor will you need to bring anything extra, unless you're planning additional décor for a birthday or other occasion party. Finally, on the day of the party, all you'll really need to do is show up with a cheerful attitude and a fat wallet, of course!
- Cons In addition to finding an appropriate restaurant that will accommodate the size and needs of your party, you'll also be responsible making the reservation far ahead of time, keeping track of RSVPs, answering questions ("Should I bring a gift?"), ensuring your reservation is large enough to accommodate last-minute arrivals, and acting as a liaison for the restaurant staff. You might also need to pay an additional fee if your party is large enough to require an entire room or section of the venue. The biggest con, however, is the cost: As the host of a bar or restaurant party, you are responsible for the entire check, including bar costs and tip. If your friends are accustomed to Dutch treat at restaurant parties, you're in luck. Otherwise, custom and etiquette both dictate that if you do the inviting, you also do the paying.
Appropriate occasions for restaurant or bar parties include birthdays, anniversaries, bon voyage/farewell, retirement, holiday gift exchange, club or sorority/fraternity reunions, and other occasions for which the guest list is fewer than 50 people.
Finding one restaurant that will accommodate all your guests' requirements can be tricky. In addition to allowing for different appetites and dietary restrictions, you also want to ensure that you pick a place whose cuisine and atmosphere everyone will enjoy. Brainstorm a few different places, and then run them by the guest of honor or a few close friends that will be attending. That way, if a guest complains about venue or the menu, you'll at least know you tried your best to find a place that would suit others.
Who Pays?
Before you plan a restaurant party, think carefully about how you intend to handle the bill. Emily Post gently insists that the person hosting the party pays for everything. In keeping with this rule of etiquette, if you can't afford to pay for your guests' meal, you cannot give a restaurant party.
This rule is suspended for "co-op" parties, which are generally more casual and involve friends or co-workers celebrating a shower, life milestone, work-related event, or bon voyage. If you are co-hosting such a party and it is being held at a restaurant or bar, your guests will know they will be paying their own way. However, the host(s) will need to be prepared to cover any check shortages.
Finally, consider what precedents have been set within your group at previous restaurant events. Some groups are accustomed to splitting the check at hosted restaurant parties, paying for their own dinner, as well as a portion of the guest of honor's meal, especially at restaurant birthday parties. Other groups are accustomed to the host footing the entire bill, including tip and drinks. In some cases, the host pays for the entire bar tab; in others, everyone pays for his own drinks.
To simplify logistics and lower your bill, ask the restaurant if it can arrange a prix fixe menu. By fixing the price of dinners, your guests will automatically receive an appetizer or salad and a dessert, with up to three options for a main course, and you can better control the cost of the event.

Kudos and thank you to all of the ones who competed today. Good luck to the women's for tomorrow, and especially to a very special young lady !
Posted 20 December 2006 - 08:50 AM
Posted 20 December 2006 - 12:56 PM
The results of the competition are announced on the POB web site there:
Is it the first time that men and women dance on separate days ? It seems to me that usually one gender danced in the morning and the other in the afternoon (but perhaps it's simpler to organize it on two days).
Congratulations to all the promoted dancers!
I was a bit surprised to see that Duquenne was promoted: he is a very talented dancer, but he is 35 now, and usually people rarely were promoted after 30 (with the exception of Isabelle Ciaravola a few years ago, promoted around 31 or 32 if I remember correctly). It seems that the present direction is more inclined to promoting "older" dancers than before (see also the promotions to étoile of Romoli and Moussin at a unusually late age... I remember that back in the early 1990s, some people considered that when Gaïda and Arbo were promoted to étoile, they were too old, but they were indeed much younger than some of the last promoted étoiles !) Actually Duquenne would have deserved to be promoted long ago (he's been a sujet since 1993 !), especially as he performed a lot of interesting roles and "saved" some performances when he had to replace some dancers... I'm happy he finally got some recognition, even if it comes a bit late (wasn't he in the same promotion at the school as Bart, Martinez, Le Riche, Bridard ?)
Edited to add: I had forgotten that Stéphane Phavorin had been promoted at a rather late age too... By the way, I wonder which of the present male premiers danseurs could be considered as potential étoiles (the list is: Jérémie Bélingard, Yann Bridard, Alessio Carbone, Karl Paquette, Stéphane Phavorin, Emmanuel Thibault
and now Christophe Duquenne).
Posted 20 December 2006 - 01:24 PM
Perhaps there isn't any one pattern for promotion at the Opéra these days. Ganio became an étoile very early (and so far young Mathias Heymann is speeding along in a similar pattern), Moussin and Romoli were promoted late, and Moreau was named in his late 20s, which has been the more usual pattern. It could be that the system is more sensitive to individual development than it may appear to be on the surface.
Posted 20 December 2006 - 02:33 PM
No, it isn't the first time the men and women don't compete the same day. It has been done that way since the last year, but before, the competition was held during only a long and tiring day!
All promotions are to my mind deserved and are reflecting what the dancers did on stage today, which for me hasn't always been the case in the past. I only hope that Gil Isoart will soon get promoted if he choose to compete again (He wasn't in his best shape today).
Posted 20 December 2006 - 02:39 PM
Not only did he get promoted, but evidently he had a sex change as well, as s/he's currently listed as a premiere danseuse.
Bravo to Paris Opera for another stride towards gender equality! I don't suppose we should tell M. Duquenne?
Posted 20 December 2006 - 02:44 PM
I suspect she'll find out soon enough!
Posted 21 December 2006 - 09:14 AM
* Sujets
> Mademoiselle Sarah Kora Dayanova (22 ans)
> Mademoiselle Marie-Solène Boulet (29 ans)
* Coryphées
> Mademoiselle Ludmila Pagliero (23 ans)
> Mademoiselle Daphnée Gestin (25 ans)
Well-deserved for Ms. Dayanova and Pagliero, who danced superbly. Ms. Dayanova gave a truly amazing account of the Shadow from Les Mirages (Lifar). I feel disappointed though for the lovely Eléonore Guérineau, the strongest quadrille IMO - but it's true she's still very young (it was her first competition). She definitely has a wonderful career ahead of her.
More later if I have time ;)
Posted 21 December 2006 - 09:15 AM
1 Sarah Kora Dayanova is promoted
2 Marie-Solène Boulet is promoted
3 Laurène Lévy
4 Charline Giezendanner
5 Sabrina Mallem
6 Lucie Clément
1 Ludmila Pagliero is promoted
2 Daphnée Gestin is promoted
3 Eléonore Guérineau
4 Aubane Philbert
5 Pauline Verdusen
6 Leila Dilhac
More to come later ! I'M sad for Aubane Philbert
Posted 21 December 2006 - 12:55 PM
Posted 21 December 2006 - 01:11 PM
Perhaps she was exhausted from all those peasant pas de deux she's been dancing.
I'M sad for Aubane Philbert
Posted 21 December 2006 - 02:48 PM
14 quadrilles and 10 coryphées competed
13 quadrilles, 8 coryphées and 9 sujets
Posted 26 December 2006 - 07:19 AM
Quadrille level
Compulsory: Swan lake, act I, first variation of the Pas de Rois
1.Ludmila Pagliero, Promoted, Notre Dame de Paris, Act 1, Esmeraldas variation ;
2.DaphnéGestin, Promoted, Suite en blanc, Flutes variation
3.Eleonore Guérineau, Suite en blanc, Serenades variation
Aubane Philbert, Four seasons, Springs variation
5. Pauline Verdusen Four seasons, Springs variation
6. Leila Dilhac Suite en blanc, Flutes variation
A very strange result for me and a major part of the audience. It reminds me figure skating so much ! I wonder what message the direction wants to send to POB schools graduates and to school pupils. Miss Pagliero is a good dancer but to my mind she doesnt deserve this promotion. She showed a very nice Esmeralda but her compulsory wasnt that strong and some others were better overall.
The two best dancers of the event were also the very youngest, barely 18 years old.
Eleonore Guerineau was fabulous and was clearly the of leader of the field. Shes an excellent technician, has a lot of style and was flawess in a very difficult variation.
Aubane Philberts choice was very appropriate for a young dancer full of freshness. She did well on the technical side, and was a joy to watch. She may sometimes need to be less affected, but it is just a minor flaw.
Overall, the level of that class was rather homogeneous, and we saw a lot of very nice things, including Daphné Gestins Flute or Emilie Hasbouns Gamzatti.
Coryphée level
Compulsory : Paquita, 2nd variation of the Grand Pas
1.Sarah Kora Dayanova promoted Les Mirages, Shades variation
2. Marie-Solène Boulet, promoted, Carmen
3. Laurène Levy, Four seasons, Springs variation
4. Sabrina Mallem Delibes Suite
5. Charline Giezendanner Jewels, Emerald, first variation
6. Lucie Clément The Bayadere, Act II, Nikyas variation
The results are rather in accordance with what was seen on stage. Kora Danyanova was a somptuous omber and her compulsory was strong. She was indisputably the best.
Then, the results were closer. Marie-Solène Boulet was a spicy Carmen and her compulsory was good. Then both Laurène Levy and Charline Giezendanner, each in their own style were very beautiful but their compulsories were far from being perfect. But they could have been fished out because of their free variation.
Quadrille level
Compulsory: Don Quixote, Act I, Basilios second variation
1.Axel Ibot Promoted, Suite en Blancs Mazurka
2. Daniel Stokes Promoted Romeo and Juliet, Act one, Romeos first variation
3. Marc Moreau Etudes Mazurka
4. Cyril Chockroun Manons, Avt I, Des Grieux variation
5.Fabien Révillon The Bayadere, act II, Solors variation
6. Grégory Dominiak Carmens, Don Jose variation
The winner was clearly the leader of his level. He was the only one with a flawess compulsory and showed a great musicality and a great elegance during his free variation.
The results were very close between the second and third place. Daniel Stocke sense of drama probably made a small difference in his favor.
Coryphée level
Compulsory Swan Lake, Act I, Siegfrieds slow variation
1. Mathias Heymann, Promoted, Don Quixote, Act I, Basilios first variation
2. Audric Bezard Promoted Appartment, TV sequence
3. Sébastien Bertaud Carmens, Don Jose variation
4. Grégory Gaillard Themes and Variations
5. Aurélien Houette Pas/ Parts
6.Vincent Chaillet Our Lady of Paris, Act I, Frollos variation
Mathias Heymann, only 19 years old, was ahead of everyone without discussions. He reminds me of his fellow Mathieu Ganio. What an elegance, what a technician, and overall what an artist! Youll hear about him soon!
Audric Bezards choice is a bit unusual for someone who hopes to get promoted (I mean that usually dancers with such choices are rather older dancers who compete only for their pleasure and to dance something they really want to dance), but this time it paid. He was very convincing in his free variation but his compulsory was weaker, and overall, I thought Sebastien Bertaud was better because since these two dancers are quite close, and Mr. Bertauds compulsory was a bit better.
Sujet level
Compulsory: The lady of the Camelias, act II, Armand Duvals variation
1.Christophe Duquenne, promoted, Others dances, first variation
2. Stéphane Bullion, Speaking in tongues
3. Nicolas Paul Approximate Sonata
4. Florian Magnenet, Suite en Blancs Mazurka
5. Bruno Bouché, A suite of dances, 2nd variation
6.Simone Valastro, Dance at a gathering, first variation of the dancer wearing brown.
Finally, Christophe Duquenne was rewarded and is the clear winner ! He could show all of his acting skills in his compulsory which was better than his free (still very good by the way). And then, I dont know what really to say. The overall level was very homogeneous, a lot of contemporary choices. Nobody was bad but nobody was really good. The results may looked strange, as I think Julien Meyzindi deserved to be ranked. And it was still nice to see Gil Isoard compete, although the wasnt in his best shape!

As promised here (a bit latter, sorry) are my thoughts on this year competition
Thank you for such full information and your comments.
This process of the POB has always remained a mystery to me. If it is an entirely honest, unprejudiced and independent process, it doesn't seem such a bad way of elevating dancers from the ranks.

STEUBENVILLE - A Columbus attorney who said he is representing the individual in a video that went viral last week will issue a public statement this afternoon.
Dennis McNamara said this morning he will address local reporters at a yet-to-be-determined location in Steubenville.
"The video was originally posted on YouTube in August by another individual who then deleted it from YouTube. The video was obtained by someone else last week and surfaced on the Internet, and the family of Michael Nodianos has been hammered ever since," said McNamara.
"I will be addressing the video in a public statement today," said McNamara.
The video that primarily shows Nodianos making comments about an alleged rape of a 16-year-old Weirton female by two Steubenville High School students was made shortly after the alleged rape incident.
The video that appeared on the Internet last Thursday was cited during the Saturday protest organized by the group called Anonymous in front of the Jefferson County Courthouse.
An audio part of the tape was played during the protest along with calls from the crowd for the arrest of Nodianos. But local law enforcement officials have said the tape is not illegal and Nodianos did not commit a crime in the video.
"The Steubenville police have had that video and passed it on to the Ohio attorney general's office early on in the investigation. That specific video is disgusting and nauseating. But you can't arrest that person for being stupid," stressed Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla during a Friday evening press conference.
"We obtained the video that has recently been on the Internet very early in our investigation. We reviewed all of the evidence and forwarded everything to the special prosecutors assigned by the Ohio Attorney General. They are in charge of deciding what charges have been and may be filed," said Steubenville Police Chief Bill McCafferty during a Saturday morning press conference called by city officials.
"We have had several citizens file complaints with our department indicating they are subject to harassment. Several innocent people have been mentioned on the Internet, who have nothing to do with the case. From day one I have asked people to come forward with information about the alleged attack," said McCafferty.
"Unfortunately things are being said on the Internet that aren't true. There are a lot of accusations out there. But we have to have evidence to take a case to court," cited McCafferty.

I am responsible for scanning and fixing issues on ~50 servers with Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) version 2.2. Unfortunately, there is no out of the box way to manage multiple MBSA results. The only semi-official way to do this has been through the scripting examples page, and even this is not very great. It only sort of tallies the results up without giving details.
The best way I have come up with so far is changing the file extension of the MBSA results to XML and importing them into an excel spreadsheet but it is very tedious as it includes every detail, even if there is no issue, additionally this is suspicious to auditors who want "tamper free" results.
Is there a better method / procedure / program / trick to managing these results?

Obama: Time to act with 'dedication'
January 22, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — Turning the page on years of war and recession, President Barack Obama summoned a divided nation Monday to act with "passion and dedication" to broaden equality and prosperity......
Sometimes what a president doesn't say is more important than what he does. In my view, the second most significant thing about President Obama's inaugural address (besides his support for equal marriage rights) was that he didn't mention the federal budget deficit.
Reducing the deficit or paying down the national debt have framed the nation's economic goals for years, but they are not and should not be. Providing equal opportunity is a far more meaningful -- and more accurate -- aspiration, as Obama helped us understand.

This group made up equally of R 's and D's clearly and logically points out the need to increase income and cut spending so we can gain a foothold on our deficit. Remember, equal number of Democrats were on this committee. Mr. Obama established this group and gave it much credence. This is NOT a Republicans , Democrat issue....... this is real issue for this country. don't turn it immediately into a political discussion. Read the report in full, please.
Joe Manchin, A Democrat though he may disagree on some issues is very outspoken in saying, we must address this deficit issue. Let us be very serious as to where we are headed. We can differ on solutions and certain actions but across party lines everyone knows it must be addressed.
Moody's and Fitch are both watching how it is dealt with and will take rating action soon if they do not see some agreement to deal with the issue..
Let us step above politics And be very focus

@BCF; your analogy is correct if the pitbull is ALL of Congress and the meat truck is our tax dollars.
Libs used to scream incessantly about national debt when it suited them. Now it's not an issue? Hope you are enjoying your Kool-Aid. Is it grape by any chance? :}

The GOP didn't care at all about debts and deficits while Bush was running them up with tax cuts and wars. They suddenly cared in January 2009 when Obama took office. Wonder why?

BCF. Please read Simpson Bowles in full. It is not a political document. Be fair and open minded when you read it. Again, both parties are to blame for the debt. This is not a finger pointing issue. Now we MUST address the issue both D's and R's for the good of this nation and ALL citizens. Read the report................... No blame game required but consider the ramifications if NOT Addressed.. Listen to Joe Manchin, A Democrat. Listen to Alan Simpson, a life long Democrat.

Not many things funnier than advice and comments from people who get their "news" from Fox and Limbaugh.

Thoughtful, all you do is post tired, long debunked Right wing talking points. You dismiss anything you don't agree with. Sure, you are entitled to your opinions, but not your own facts.

BCF, Did you read Simpson Bowles yet? 50 percent of the members were Democrats. How is that biased or leaning in one direction. Please take time to read it and we can debate. these are financial experts equally divided so as to not make it political. Let's lay aside politics, forget Fox, CBS NBC, or any other media. Just read the report and give us your honest opinion, please.

President Obama's plan contains 90 percent of Simpson-Bowles spending cuts and 60 percent of the plan's revenue.
Republicans support Simpson-Bowles, which calls for more revenue increases than President Obama, but there is no support for a similar plan when it comes from the White House.
The obstructionist Republcians are against anything and everything Obama supports even if the vast majority of it contains GOP ideas. No wonder nothing gets done.

And finally we've hit a dead end. Thoughtful rejects facts. You can't reason with someone like that. Moving on.

BCF, You still have not read the report and if you did you would realize that your statement is. Is guided and incorrect. I can quote the seven basic points of the report and clearly prove your statement is not correct. Please read the report and reevaluate your comment. Please......
