Radar/Lidar detectors
lgtwrx Posts: 34upstatedoc - Again, you truly do think too highly of me, I'm nowhere near as experienced nor knowledgeable as you think I am. :blush: I'm just an average hobbyist in this area, that's all.
I did order a 9500i, Red, this afternoon. I requested one with the revised (x50-esque) audio ramp-up. Hopefully, I'll get what I asked for.... To Escort's credit, though, their phone operator was very cordial, and was product-knowledgeable.
I am very eager to give this unit a try, however, I'm also somewhat apprehensive.
The Rev5 x50 is regarded very, very highly among countermeasures enthusiasts, and as such, the 9500i will have big shoes to fill. Also, I was just informed today by a fellow BL/BP-chassis Subaru Legacy enthusiast - someone with whom I've only had "e-contact" with but whom I'd consider a true friend - that his 9500i, using the same hardwire setup as his x50, has come up with the often-reported "false Laser-alert on WOT" issue (his Rev5 x50, of the same vintage as mine, never saw this trouble). Although he kindly advised me to wait-out his trouble/fix report, I decided to take the plunge, nonetheless.
It needs to be said that our Subarus - as with many modern-generation FI Subarus - are considered electrically "noisy" vehicles. Although there are those of us who've never experienced such issues, those who have are not, per se, necessarily a minority. Of that unfortunate group, many have been able to "cure" their woes by splicing in some form of in-line electrical filter (i.e. ferrite choke). However, it is speculated by at least one true guru in this area that RF-interference produced by the VEHICLE itself could also be the root-cause of these issues (and may be the true cause in those specific vehicles for which such in-line filters have not worked), and that in these cases, either shutting off the laser detection or sending the unit back to the manufacturer for "tweaking" (often, this means increased shielding around the laser circuitry, and this in-turn translates into decreased sensitivity; my friend was quoted that his laser sensitivity would be decreased by appx. 1/3 that of his current unit's). -

I'm begining to understand what you mean by smooth audio ramp-up. The 9500i (at least mine) definitely has a different alert system. Gone are the days when you here just one beep and search for the source then the alarm slowly gets more frantic. This unit likes to scare you right off the bat when it encounters a signal. It's going to take some getting use to.. With the 8500, that flurry of sound meant you were right on top of the signal, not so with the 9500i, Again this unit is much more sensitive than my 8500, blowing it out of the water with it's Ka performance. -
lgtwrx Posts: 34Hey upstatedoc -
Look at the bottom of your unit - there should be a serial-number, with last four digits in the format of XX07. The "XX" part corresponds to the week of the year in which your 9500i was manufactured.
It is rumored that any unit bearing a manufacture week after week 40 (i.e. "4007" = 40th week, 2007) has, as a part of its production-line revision, the smoother, more x50-like ramp-up scheme. My unit, which I just received this past Thursday, bears a 4307 stamp, and it does ramp-up in a manner which is similar to, but still not quite the same as, my x50.
If you'd like to pursue this issue more with Escort, I know that they will reflash your unit's firmware, at their cost, so that you will receive the smoother ramp-up progression, akin to your x50. Just call their customer-service line, and make them aware of the issue. Typical turn-around is within two weeks, I believe, with many fellow hobbyists having reported that they've received their unit back within only about one week.
I unfortunately have not yet had time to test this unit with regard to Ka band performance. A local township uses 35.5 Ghz Ka-band - which is a frequency that gave the x50 some trouble on - but I have not been able to cruise around to test-out the 9500i.... On K band, I'm pretty happy with the 9500i's performance, even when set to "Auto" mode (which greatly enhances the comfort of my daily commute - more on this in just a minute), it seems to pick up K-band threats as fast as/with similar range as my Rev5 x50.
What I've really been able to enjoy the past few days is the quietness of the 9500i. Even with no GPS TrueLock lockouts set on the first day of my commute, I was able to get to work, and then home again, without *any* false alerts. Apparently, during regular-traffic hours, my road-speed is decreased sufficiently that the falses I do encounter are all successfully filtered via the "Auto"Sensitivity mode's road-speed based real-time sensitivity adjustments. Currently, I have 4 X-band signals locked-out (while the OH State Patrol does occasionally use X-band, my local enforcers are exclusively K, Ka, and LASER shooters), which covers the X-band falses on my normal commute, which I can still elicit when I travel those routes during off-traffic hours, which sees increased road-speed (even though I'm still within the PSL).
A good friend of mine, and a fellow BL/BP-chassis turbocharged Subaru Legacy driver unfortunately reported that he is seeing a laser-alert false at WOT. This is a not-uncommon issue with the top-flight Escort products, and was first noted with their 7000-series detectors, but has seemed to continue to present itself through both the x50 as well as the 9500i. My friend also comes from, as I did, an early-make Rev5 x50, which, on his vehicle (on the same exact electrical wiring setup), did *NOT* false laser alert at WOT.
It's rumored that the 9500i is much more laser sensitive than the x50 (and in-particular, the S7 chassis, early-make, Rev5 x50s) - as a remedial measure, Escort has told my friend that they'll "tune" his 9500i so as to hopefully prevent this falsing from taking place, but it will come at the expense of an appx. 30% decrease in laser sensitivity. We currently do not know exactly where this will place his 9500i, in terms of laser sensitivity, when compared with our old Rev5 x50s.
To-date, luckily, I have not yet seen this concern replicated on my own vehicle and with my 9500i/ZR3-integrated setup.
However, in addition to my friend, there are also more than a handful of others (who either are fellow BL/BP, turbocharged, Legacy drivers or owners of other vehicles) who are suffering from this persistent issue with their Escort detectors (x50, 9500i). To me, this is a big disappointment.
For someone like me, where the detector itself is no longer the first line of LASER defense, it really is more of an academic as well as strategic concern (i.e. that one receiver "up high" could help catch the "lucky scatter"). But for those who are relying on the detector as first-line laser defense, this falsing issue could be a serious concern.
One of the things that really gets to me about a detector that falses too much is that as the end-user, we may become de-tuned/de-sensitized to the detector's falses - in essence "lose confidence" in the detector and trying to second-guess it. The "spooky quietness" of the 9500i is something that many have listed as a tactical advantage, for, in this sense, *every* blip on the detector should then be taken seriously.
Living with falses on a detector that is specifically designed to minimize such - be it for reasons of convenience/sanity or for tactical concerns - is, in my most humble view, unacceptable, and I think that it is something that Escort should work to resolve, without degrading the detector's performance.
Note that self/end-user effected "fixes" to address this "LASER @ WOT" falsing issue does exist - typically, one uses an in-line filter, such as a Ferrite Choke - to try to suppress the tapped power line's electrical noise, which is one of the biggest (speculated) causes of this problem. Alternatively, it's also been reported that RF interference could also be an issue - but due to the truly random nature (as well as the difficulty involved in tracing it down) of this type of interference, there currently exists no real end-user effected methods of addressing this problem, short of turning off laser reception on the detector. -
upstatedoc Posts: 710Mine is stamped 5007, so I guess it has the updated scheme. Maybe it's just the sensitivity that has it acting more hyper. In regards to laser sensitivity, this may sound funny but if i lower the unit below the level of the top of the dash, the laser alert goes off (presumably secondary to the cd player). My x50 would only do that if I put it right next to the cd input.
lgtwrx Posts: 34Agreed - the 5007 should qualify your unit into the updated/revised ramp-up units. (But if you want to know for sure, you can give Escort's C/S a call, and they should be able to provide confirmation via S/N. )
If you're in "Auto" mode and are at moderate road-speeds (between, reportedly, 25 to 50 MPH), remember that the unit is actively trying to figure-out if the signals it encounters are falses, and this, in and of itself, may cause sufficient temporal delay for you to have traveled "right on top of the target/signal." As-such, if your local speed-limits are in the 35 MPH range, and you habitually speed to 40/45 MPH, it may be worth it to suffer the additional false-signals, but switch to full-sensitivity "Highway" mode to insure full X and K-band coverage (alternatively, if X and K are less-used in your area, you could use "City" mode).
That's very interesting, what you're reporting about the laser alert behavior on your 9500i, as well as the x50. One can't help but wonder if this is because of RF interference from the actual player itself, or if it is from laser "peeking out" from, say, the player's physical casing (including the disc slot).
Cool! -
upstatedoc Posts: 710
lgtwrx Posts: 34^ You know, honestly, I haven't tried......
I've nearly always been a "high mount" kind of guy, so I can't really say that I've ever tried this - or had the detector located in such a way that this may have been an issue. I'll give it a run tonight, though.
What I do know, specific to the BL/BP-chassis Subaru Legacy, is that the '06+ models' navigation screen will set off the laser false. -

upstatedoc Posts: 710Hey lgt,
What are your first impressions of the 9500i? I'm loving the lock-out feature however have not encountered radar/police car in a locked-out area yet. The alerts sound different so that is taking time to get used to. I have also switched to auto mode in the "city" with X turned off completely. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to this? :confuse: -
lgtwrx Posts: 34Hey [b]upstatedoc[/b] -
I'm still forming my "first impression" of the detector. I just don't feel like I've logged enough time nor distance behind-the-wheel, with this detector, to have formed a good "bond" with it, just yet.
What little I can tell you, so far:
During my commute, I'm finding that leaving the detector on "Auto" mode was allowing "automatic" silencing of just about all of the falses in my area, during my AM commute hours, due to my lowered road-speed at such times.
During my afternoon as well as off-hours commutes/errands, however, I do reach sufficient road-speed where I'm in that "transition zone" of sensitivity in "Auto" mode, and as such, I will sometimes encounter falses. As such, I've utilized, so far, about a half-dozen marked locations. Almost all are X-band, so I don't have to worry about my local enforcers, but for the two K-band related locations, I've yet to be able to test them for responsiveness to true enforcement signals, since none have yet been present, simultaneously. I also don't know when/if I'll *ever* get a chance confirm, as, for those two spots, I truly rarely see any enforcement activity at all.....
Aside from this, I've truly been enjoying the tremendous increase in K and Ka-band sensitivity, compared to my old x50.
With regard to your question -
It's stated that in "Auto" mode, X and K-band sensitivities are speed-dependent. At below 15 MPH - i.e. parking lot speeds - you should have X/K-band falsing only if you're within *very* close proximity to the emitter.
Nevertheless, if your local area truly has no X-band enforcement, completely disabling this particular band, which is the most common cause of in-city falsing, will make your commute quite enjoyable, I'd imagine. Just be ABSOLUTELY sure that your locals do not utilize X-band! -
upstatedoc Posts: 710
lgtwrx Posts: 34The x50's "Auto" mode is a filtering algorithm that is, unfortunately, not speed-dependent. This is where the 9500i's GPS capabilities come into play, as a lot of us Escort fans/users have, in the past, complained about the slight temporal response delay in terms of reporting of the threat signal, when utilizing "Auto" mode, exclusively, for all driving conditions.
You can well imagine that that very slight delay/hesitation may not matter much in low-speed, city-driving scenarios, but that it would be of much more concern when at higher road-speeds, on the open highway.
With my x50, I used, for my daily commute, the "City" setting, with "LoX" preference, and had to remember to turn the unit over to "Highway" mode when in open-field. On the 9500i, I honestly am very comfortable just leaving it on "Auto" setting, and letting the GPS real-time speed compensation work its magic. -
upstatedoc Posts: 710
lgtwrx Posts: 34^ That's a very interesting observation - and I will have to log more highway (speed) miles, I think, in order to confirm that with my wifey. In-city, the combination of "Auto" mode with the few X-band locked-out spots I have makes for a near-noiseless commute, so definitely, I think this is more scenario-based.
With regard to your observation/comparison to our venerable Rev5 x50s, I'd totally agree - Ka-band sensitivity, overall, and also K-band off-axis sensitivity as well seem to be way up compared to my old Rev5 x50, which is about the same "vintage" as yours.
I still don't know that it's a match for the V1 just yet, particularly on the open highway, but definitely, Escort did make a progressive step in the right direction between the x50 and this new flagship. -

lgtwrx Posts: 34Hi upstatedoc -
The radar-based systems, I believe, are in the range to cause falses on K-band. The Audi Q7, for example, uses a "24 GHz" frequency for their system, and it's known to present problems.
At the same time, similar laser-based cruise-control or predictive-safety systems found on many Lexus and Infiniti vehicles also can cause falses on both laser detectors as well as jammers. -
blane Posts: 2,017The February 2008 Motor Trend magazine has a long article about their 11,306 mile north-south, east-west cross-country road test of a 2008 Chevy Malibu. Here's what they said about some of the tools that they took along:
That's the last of seven pages of the article on their website. -
lgtwrx Posts: 34^ Easy answer to the "which detector" question - the Valentine 1, as they openly listed.
I don't want to link to the Valentine 1 website, directly, here, as I don't know if that's against Forum policy :blush: , but you can easily obtain the V1, direct from the manufacturer, by simply Google'ing the detector name.
In any case:
Most true open-highway warriors will have a strong preference for the V1 due to its extreme sensitivity as well as directional-threat indication (for radar, this is unique to the V1), and, in cases where an active laser jammer is either out of financial reach or illegal (or simply beyond one's "moral/ethical" boundary), the V1's extreme laser sensitivity is a plus, too.
For raw sensitivity and unfiltered/"full" informational presentation, the V1 is nearly impossible to beat. Although it is, nevertheless, imperfect, it is so strong in the open-highway scenario that nearly 99% of drivers - even enthusiasts - will need no supplementation when detection is the question. Yes, there are those who actually run the V1 with the Bel STi-Driver (one of the truly rare "magical" combinations that do not cross-interfere with each other) or even use the V1 in conjunction with the remote-mounted Escort SR7/SRX units (to those in detector-legal areas, this is oftentimes considered the true gold-standard, as these two devices pair near perfectly to offer "full-circle" detection, and fills the holes left by the other in a complementary manner), but those are truly few and far in between.
The V1's only true weakness, in the open-highway scenario, is that of Spectre radar-detector-detector detectability (which will only matter for commercial vehicle operators or, alternatively, for those who live in detector-banned areas; nevertheless, even the use of the fully-cloaked Bel STi-Driver requires a certain amount of proper tactical execution and discretion).
Honestly, if my commute entailed routine open-highway travel, I'd definitely be a V1 user.
However, my commute is nearly 90% on local surface streets (and I'm factoring-in even my most typical highway-route errand running). And in as much as Escort's latest commercial video demonstrates (that kind of densely-packed non-LEO signal situation is very much akin to what I must run through, every day, during my commute), I truly need the 9500i's filtering capabilities. And yes, I am well-aware, as per our previous discussions, that the V1 can be programmed, in-depth (even more than to simply select between the various main operating modes), to greatly cut-down on such "annoyance" factors - but as you can read via the discussions here: http://www.radardetector.net/viewtopic.php?t=32993 , such extremes in terms of programming can cause dangerous oversights, as the original poster of that thread very well acknowledged (his goal, as a fellow enthusiast, was not to debate the "V1 versus 9500i" issue, but rather to show how easily one can manipulate such videos to further their own commercial propaganda).
There is no perfect detector - everything is a compromise. It's up to the end-user to determine what compromise best-fits their particular threat scenario.
Current rumors have it that the new remote-mounted units from Escort (introduced at this year's CES) may rival or even exceed the current-generation V1 in terms of raw sensitivity, but this remains both to be seen as well as need to be categorized differently, as such remote units offer not only not-insignificant advantages in being able to optimize on-vehicle positioning (particularly if "off-the-books" mounting/setup is taken into account), but are also, literally, many times more expensive than even these top-flight self-contained models. -
lgtwrx Posts: 34Addition to above -
I just finished reading the entire article - most entertaining! I must say that Mr Markus, et. al., certainly have a higher opinion of my fellow commuters here in Cleveland than either myself or most of my fellow driving-enthusiast friends. :P I wish I saw more of that kind of vehicular/driving courtesy.
One point I did want to address with regard to the little blurb about the V1.
Mr. Markus mentioned that it is able to discern the frequency of the threat. This is, while true, not completely so - yes, the basic X, K, and Ka-band differentiation, based on frequency, can be made, but the more advanced differentiation between actual, physical, frequncy of the signal is something that is currently the sole ground of the high-end Bel/Escort products, with "SpecDisplay." -
upstatedoc Posts: 710I don't know if anyone has caught that new show on tru tv (formerly court tv) called speeders, but it's pretty interesting to see how the officers operate and who they pull over. In the vast majority of cases, the officer is using laser and none of the offenders are using countermeasures (from what I can see). It's also interesting to see how some people interact w/ the officers. I imagine acting "annoyed" that you got pulled over isn't going to help your case at all.
kyfdx Posts: 31,840In my (very recent) experience.. If an officer is standing outside his car aiming a laser, and takes the time to get back in his car, and chase you down.... It really doesn't matter how you act... you are getting a ticket..
That isn't to say that you shouldn't be respectful and pleasant.. just that the laser operation is a whole different thing than radar.. There is no chance that the officer was sitting there eating a donut, and you happened to trip his radar detector..or, he was on his way home and you popped up.. He was making a conscious act to aim that laser detector at you, and then come after you..
Unless you have the mother of all excuses, you are getting ticketed..
On the plus side, I could call in and pay it with my credit card...MODERATOR

upstatedoc Posts: 710
upstatedoc Posts: 710I just keep "discovering" new features of the 9500i on a regular basis. You can set it to display your speed continually. Very handy in my GTI as the speedo is difficult to make out sometimes. It should have a huge speedo dead center! Not useful for measuring 0-60 times though, it takes a couple of seconds to "catch up" under hard acceleration. But it matches the speedo exactly during cruising.
lgtwrx Posts: 34I've seen an episode or two here and there, but just haven't been interested enough to keep-watch.
It really puts me off how many of those depicted interact with the officers. I have quite a number of friends in law-enforcement - some who are Troopers and other local, but who also pull traffic duty. It makes me cringe when I see what they have to go through every day, "at the office." Makes my day seem like a walk in the park, for at least my lab animals don't talk back to me, and the students are all well-behaved.
I must say, though, that every once in a while, one of those shows will get a clip or two posted to YouTube and the likes, and then get "cross-examined" by the various countermeasures enthusiasts. There are several incidences on, I believe, one of their first episodes, where the LIDAR enforcement scenario was highly suspect (i.e. could have been in-error).
For as many people who are getting their traffic cases thrown out because of evidence from their own "dash/car-cams," I would imagine that this show would supply some good evidence, too, and may not necessarily be making the enforcers' jobs any easier. -
lgtwrx Posts: 34Please note that police LIDAR, just as with RADAR, is not immune to various error - both operator as well as equipment induced.
Yes, it can be a much more accurate speed-detection tool, but it must be used judiciously and with expertice, as well as without malice - and the instrument itself must be calibrated and maintained properly, just as with RADAR.
Also, the officer does not need to be out of his/her vehicle in order to use LIDAR.
It is very possible to use various portions of the vehicle's door/window-frame, armrest, dash, steering wheel, and even the data device mount (or the unit itself) in order to steady a LIDAR "gun" from inside the vehicle - even while belted and seated at the wheel, ready-to-go (preferably without the interference of the vehicle greenhouse glass, although, again, not necessarily so).
Although highly frowned upon, there have even been instances of enforcers utilizing their exterior - or even interior - rear-view mirrors to "bank shot" LIDAR.
On a side-note:
As with what I wrote to upstatedoc above, I agree, there's no reason to be anything short of fully cooperative and completely courteous when pulled-over, even if you sincerely believe that the officer has made a mistake. Everyone's just human, and this person is just doing his/her job.
The one time where I was pulled-over for "speeding-stupid," I crested a hill without slowing - my detector didn't go off (and no detector would have), since it was Instant-On radar, until I was actually well-past the enforcer's patrol vehicle. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't shave-off speed fast enough. :blush:
I had signaled and safely pulled-over to the shoulder even before he even got his cruiser off the roadside runoff area.
We were both polite and courteous to each other, and he simply gave me my ticket and sent me on my way.
I knew I was at-fault, so I wasn't about to lie. Gotta pay to play. :blush: And that's what I get for, as I like to call it, "speeding stupid." :lemon: -
lgtwrx Posts: 34It's certainly a "gadget filled" detector, and I can see why the Valentine group counterattacks, in its own marketing, the way that it does.
Certainly, to "purists," these gadgets/side-functions can be deemed to be un-necessary.
For me, the simple ability to turn my daily errands and commute into a noiseless one, without my need to take any action, is a blessing to those of us who have more demanding passengers. For me, the lock-out feature, as well as speed-sensitive sensitivity compensation, is all that I really need. -

Unleash the ticker tape! The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't even pretending to keep it quiet anymore. They're going to try their hardest to become the most expensive replacement level team in the history of baseball.
Why else would Los Angeles sign a pitcher who clearly peaked three seasons ago to a two year deal worth $12 million?
33 year old right handed starting pitcher Aaron Harang will fill out the Dodgers rotation, but in all honesty, is his contribution over the next two seasons really going to be that much more than what Nathan Eovaldi would've brought? And even if it is more, it surely won't be enough to make the team competitive in the National League West.
The Dodgers will now be spending almost $16 million next year on Harang, Mark Ellis, Jerry Hairston, Adam Kennedy and Juan Rivera. If they get three wins above replacement from those five players, the team should be thrilled.

Prep Time: 25 min
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) coconut extract or imitation coconut extract
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 1/4 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon(s) semisweet chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
- 2 tablespoon(s) trans-fat-free white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate, such as Sunspire
- Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 250°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
- ,Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, coconut, almond and vanilla extracts, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Gradually beat in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, shiny peaks form, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Sift cocoa over the mixture and gently fold together with a rubber spatula until combined.
- Spoon the meringue into a gallon-size sealable bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip). Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible. Cut a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of the bag. Pipe the meringue into 2-inch circles, about 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake on the upper and lower racks for 50 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the meringues stand in the oven with the door closed until completely dry, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Melt semisweet and white chocolate (see Tips & Techniques) and drizzle or pipe onto the cooled meringues. Let stand until it sets.
Carb Servings: 1/2 other carbohydrate. Carbohydrate Servings: 1/2
Tips & Techniques
To melt chocolate, place chocolate in a bowl and microwave on Medium for 45 seconds. Stir; continue microwaving on Medium in 20-second intervals until almost melted, stirring after each interval. Continue stirring until completely melted. Or place in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted. To decorate cookies with melted chocolate, use a pastry bag fitted with a fine writing tip to pipe the melted chocolate or dip tines of a fork in chocolate and drizzle. You can improvise a pastry bag with a small plastic bag. Add melted chocolate to the bag, cut a tiny hole in one corner and squeeze the chocolate out.

Watch Bruce Springsteen perform spoof version of "Born To Run" on US TV
Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Fallon performed a spoof version of "Born To Run" on US TV show Late Night last night (January 14).
The song was reworked in reference to the ongoing 'bridgegate' scandal, in which an aide working for New Jersey governor is accused of orchestrating traffic mayhem on the George Washington Bridge connecting New Jersey to Manhattan. The gridlock was allegedly intended to punish a Democratic mayor who did not endorse the governor's re-election.
On the show, New Jersey native Springsteen and host Fallon both wore the singer's familiar Born To Run-era sleeveless denim and red bandana. New lyrics to the song included: "They shut down the tollbooths of glory 'cause we didn't endorse Chris Christie," and "Man, I've gotta take a leak, but I can't, "I'm stuck in Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam."
The song will no doubt be a dubious honour for the governor, who claims to know all the lyrics to Springsteen's songs, has quoted lyrics in speeches and says he has attended more than 100 of his concerts, reports MSNBC. Christie met Obama-supporter Springsteen at a benefit for Superstorm Sandy victims in October 2012, when the politician and the singer hugged. Christie admitted he cried after the encounter. "I told the president today, actually, that the hug was great and when we got home, there was a lot of weeping because of the hug," Christie said at the time. "And the president asked why. I said, 'Well, to be honest, I was the one doing the weeping.'"

JavaScript Unit Testing
4 comments
Richard Hepburn commented
The test runner should also support TypeScript and should support attaching to the browser process so you can debug into the tests from inside of VS. Currently, it's very difficult to provide a productive development experience that allows developers to debug into their Unit Tests (QUnit, Jasmine, etc...) from within the VS IDE. The only way to do this now, is to create a separate test runner page (e.g. testrunner.html) and set that as your start page and then run VS. Most other test runner tools like Chutzpah and Karma don't allow you to debug the tests from within VS. It's also important to be able to integrate the test results back into VS so all test results are in one place.
Anonymous commented
I should see not just a test runner, but the the runner should be capable of debug tests too.
Hugo Biarge commented
It would be nice to include code converge capabilities and integrarte the test and coverage results with Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server - Visual Studio. Online.

Klingon Bat'leth Necklace Perfect for Taking Down Tiny Romulans
The Klingon Bat'leth is a formidable weapon in the hands of a true warrior. It will slice and dice your enemies with honor. Now you can wear a miniature version on your neck.
I hear ya. If it can't kill, why would I want that? Well, if you are in a fight and lose your Bat'leth and your opponent and you are rolling around on the ground in hand to hand combat, just rip this small version off your neck and take his eye out. Aside from that, you can give this small version to your action figure and let him disembowel some other figure.
Sadly it has already sold on Etsy, but if you ask its creator, Starbright Silver, maybe she can make you another one. It seems like it would come in pretty handy as a weapon of last resort.

A Wild BigT Appears: W23 Blog Vol. 4
January 4, 2011 in Uncategorized, World 023 News, World News
To those of you who have been missing me – I'm very sorry.
I have a new job, a new girlfriend, and I had been losing interest in this game.
Those all contributed to my lack if blogging… nonetheless… once again I find myself sucked back in to this wretched game.
Anyway, where did I leave off last?
So much has happened…
- Juiced splitting/formation of Joker
- LOOK declaring on SV
- Joker sort of declaring on NBG
- SV and Hush teaming up again
- Joker and NBG merge
- Wombat falling apart
- LP being formed
- LP falling apart since day 1
And much, much more!!!
For 5 payments of 13.99 all of this juicy information is yours!
I kid, I kid.
But in all seriousness, so much time has passed, I kind of forget many of the details of each event… especially considering that I haven't been blogging due to a lack of time, thus I hadn't been paying attention.
Not really sure where to start… This was my first real world, I have seen it grow and develop into a lovely young woman… but since… the wrinkles have invaded, the sagging has taken over.
This world is is decrepit.
I can explain this is completely a result of SV and Hush.
You guys have done amazing in the wars.
But like I said… I dont really remember that much of what has happened/ can't be arsed to try and remember.
What I do know is that SV and Hush took my advice from my last blog, and joined sides.
Well… I am wishing a fond farewell to Geo and Charlie.
You have ruined a second beautiful account and that upsets me.
But you are both decent guys, and I wish you the best, no doubt you have tons of passwords to the world, but your time is over.
You will be missed, as controversial as you are, you have helped shape the world.
Well, where do we go from here?
SV and Hush slowly eating LP.
Is the world going to end when LP is gone?
I have little control over the future of the world, but I know what I would like to see…
I would like to see either SV and Hush war it out once LP is gone,
or even see the two remaining tribes split into a few smaller tribes and begin a battle for the world anew.
I'm just not ready to see this world come to an end.
My first world, where I learned everything I know.
It doesnt have to end, we CAN keep it going.
The question is, will we?
Obviously there isnt much to write about anymore, so if you have ideas please let me know.
Much <3,

Sophisticated stenciling technique for surface printing, in which a design is cut out of paper or another thin, strong material and then printed by rubbing, rolling, or spraying paint or ink through the cutout areas. It was developed c. 1900 and originally used in advertising and display work. In the 1950s fine artists began to use the process. It got its name from the fine-mesh silk that, when tacked to a wooden frame, serves as a support for the cut-paper stencil, which is glued to it. To make a silkscreen print, the wooden frame holding the screen is hinged to a slightly larger wooden board, the printing paper is placed on the board under the screen, and the paint is pressed through the screen with a squeegee (rubber blade) the same width as the screen. Many colours can be used, with a separate screen for each colour.

Other Pets at Laguna Woods Cat Club Foster/Adoption Program
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Emergency Link, a Laguna Woods Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Laguna Woods, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Laguna Woods.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Laguna Woods already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Laguna Woods breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Laguna Woods paves the way for another one to be saved.

Parker Hannifin Analogic CorporationIntercept Portable Airplane/Vehicle Hangar
From the beginning of the jet age, pilots were safe knowing Nichols gerotor pumps would deliver the lubrication their aircraft engines and transmissions needed. Today, Nichols' custom designed, high-speed, lightweight pumps – which break through traditional lubrication paradigms – are found in over 150 currently flying aircraft. Nichols' superior pumps: match flow and altitude requirements with pump speed; integrate new materials; and utilize advanced processes to build pumps that cost-effectively meet or exceed all performance parameters.
While Nichols' lubrication pumps are designed to be corrosion resistant, an inner working part, the steel gerotor, is susceptible to corrosion. Extremely tight manufacturing tolerance disallows any form of atmospheric degradation. When not assembled into the pump, the gerotor requires sufficient barrier packaging.
To minimize corrosion, Nichols used MIL-B-131 barrier bags, requiring a nine-step, machine-based process involving heat sealing. This approach – especially in the company's older facility where ventilation was inadequate (1997) – affected worker safety and productivity. When the company decided to move to a new plant, management didn't want to incur new heat sealing and ventilation systems expense that would be required for continued use of MIL-B-131 barrier bags.
Static Intercept zipper-style bags solved all the problems. Without the need of heat-sealing or packing station equipment and a three-step packaging process, worker safety is no longer at risk and the process is easier – ensuring higher levels of productivity. If the gerotor part must be put into storage, requiring corrosion inspection after being picked to ship, the inspection can be performed without violating the integrity of the barrier package. In short, the bag doesn't need to be reheated and resealed.
Prior to implementation, Nichols Aircraft thoroughly tested the Static Intercept bags both with accelerated independent laboratory testing and a real-time harsh environmental aging test.
Since implementing the packaging program utilizing the static Intercept zipper style bags, Nichols Aircraft has packaged over 150,000 parts without a field defect due to corrosion in transit or in storage. In addition:
Intercept Technology works for Nichols. Discover how it can work for you: Contact Liberty Packaging Co., Inc. at 781-849-3355, or mail to: email@example.com

I am just a horny guy who likes to show himself off and record it on photo and video.
It is really fun for me to be naked outside, especially when its public. No matter if its deep night or bright day.
I am just beginning to digitize all of my older camcorder videos. I shot them 2-3 years ago (in my "better age" ;)), and there are really a lot of vids. Its a lot of work to digitize and cut them, so there wont be a new vid online every week.
But they will keep cumming one for one, i promise.
So stay tuned if you like them ;)
For those who wonder about my cock: Yes, my foreskin is too tight, so i cant pull it back. But as you can see, i can have a lot of fun this way too. So why should i go to a surgeon and let it cut ;)
Have fun.

He's playing with Tom Brady, he'll be fine for sure. Honestly, he might even be more seasoned after next season. I say we try and pick him up after next season!

FIJI Water Days of Summer
On July 20, 2013, FIJI Water presented a summer poolside party at The Estate in Southampton, New York. Guests escaped the city to cool down in the Olympic sized swimming pool and the intimate affair was hosted by singer, actress and longtime FIJI fan, Hilary Duff.
In quintessential summer fashion, guests sipped FIJI Water with FIJI Straws poolside while enjoying a FIJI-themed candy bar, backyard lawn games and summer BBQ bites on this eight and half acre estate.
JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon and Landmark Overlook Chardonnay were the exclusive wines served at the event.

While not everyone has access or money to hire a professional architect to help a community develop housing, schools, and public or commercial space, many architects feel committed to donating their time, often as a result of their experiences as students. Here are several platforms that help professionals, faculty, and students connect to communities that can benefit from their expertise and efforts:
• Make it Right, a rebuilding effort initiated by Brad Pitt, an actor with a strong interest in architecture, has focused on helping to re-establish the post-Katrina community of the lower ninth ward in New Orleans by using local and global architectural talent to create affordable, flood-resistant, well-designed homes that use energy-efficient systems and minimally toxic materials.
• Architecture for Humanity links the architecture community to places that need their assistance across the world, develops projects from the ground up, and shares lessons learned through their WorldChanging website. Their mission includes improving infrastructure, providing shelter for displaced populations, creating neutral spaces for post-conflict areas, mitigating the negative effects of rapid urbanization, improving facilities for people with disabilities, and reducing the "footprint" of the built environment. [m: Might "footprint" be a good addition to the Glossary?]
• Habitat for Humanity, perhaps the best known pro bono architecture program, has been facilitating the design and construction of housing in partnership with local residents since 1975 and recently celebrated its 200,000th house opening.
• The 1% for Architecture links design offices in the US who would like to volunteer their professional skills to local non-profits who request assistance.
Here are some of the projects that these organizations, with architecture students, faculty, and graduates have been working on...

Netflix Watch Instantly is incredibly overwhelming for the most part, because it's full of shit that I only KINDA want to watch. This "KINDA want to watch"-ness, leads to what seems like hours of Dudefriend & I passing the remote back & forth saying to one another,
or "I'M TIRED OF LOOKING, YOU PICK."
There are a couple other variations,
but they all end with "YOU PICK."
But I've figured it out, guys.
I've figured out the answer to my Netflix problems.
I am just always going to pick episodes of
Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit
I've seen eight hundred times.
See, here is my view on things– I fucking hate picking. I hate it.
You know what I love? Law & Order: SVU.
Always have, always will.
So, from now on, I'm just always picking that and either Dudefriend will have to deal with it & watch Law & Order with me, or he will be forced to pick out something else because I'm just picking Law & Order.
Like, FINAL ANSWER, ya'all.
It's probably the smartest win-win situation I've ever come up with.
Like, I either get to watch SVU or have the comfort of being absolved the responsibility of picking something better out because honestly, is there anything better than SVU?
If you said "Yes",
then I'd like you to answer
the following questions about your choice:
1. Um, does it star a man with arms you dream about being saved in MORE than Agent Stabler's?
2. Um, does it star a woman that is MORE empathetic and loving than Olivia?
3. Um, does it have never-beat-around-the-bush, brilliant, one word episode titles?
4. Um, do you ever feel like you ARE the main characters? Like, you don't even know how you can stand so much rape & murder, but you keep coming back? ARE YOU LIVING THE JOURNEY WITH THE CHARACTERS OF YOUR TV SHOW THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY A BETTER GO-TO THAN SVU?! ARE YOU?!
If you answered "yes" to any of those,
And I just threw you against a metaphorical chained window
in the interrogation room OF MY MIND, btw.
If you answered "no" to all those,
then congratulations, you have taste.
Also, welcome to the worry free world of Netflix.

New Zealand has two main islands – North Island and South Island – which are very different in landscape and climate. Your adventure tour will give you the opportunity to explore both.
The North Island is where the major cities are - the capital Wellington and Auckland – 'the city of sails'. It's mainly volcanic in origin with lots of seismic features such as geysers and hot springs.
The South Island is separated down its length by the Southern Alps, the highest point of which is Mount Cook (Aoraki in Maori).
The country has a landmass a little larger than the UK with a population of some four million. With 10 sheep to every person it's no surprise their major export is lamb! Despite the huge number of visitors travelling there every year, it's never crowded.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Rees, Gareth URN etd-06192011-141601 Document Title Co-creation online : the potential of Web 2.0 tools to enable it and impact usage Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Ms K Chipp Supervisor Keywords
- user-generated content
- Web 2.0 tools
- online co-creation
- social networking
Date 2010-11-10 Availability unrestricted Abstract There is little in the existing literature that provides practical information on the link between co-creation and the internet as well as guidance on how to facilitate cocreation in the online environment. This study sought to address these gaps and particularly the lack of guidance on the practical act of co-creation and the relationship between co-creation and the online environment.
A quantitative research methodology with a descriptive design was followed. The data for the study was collected by way of an internet survey. The population for the research was defined as the users of the online cycling social network, www.thehubsa.co.za. A topic explaining the purpose of the study and inviting users to participate was posted on the website.
The study revealed the existence of a new two factor solution related to the separate co-creation and Web 2.0 applications constructs. In this respect the Interact and Use components (co-creation) as well as the Creating and Sharing components (Web 2.0 applications) could provide the foundation for construct validity for more comprehensive scales.
The ability of a user to Author content on a website was found to be of particular practical importance in facilitating co-creation. Providing this functionality to a customer may be the key to the missing "how to" element of online co-creation. The ability of a social networking website, such as www.thehubsa.co.za, to encourage general product/service usage appears to be the main attraction to advertisers. Advertisers looking to build their brands may not necessarily obtain the same benefits from the website. Findings regarding impact on usage were inconclusive and further research is suggested.

What do the health care industry, parts of the chemical industry, homeland security, environmental testing, and genetic engineering have in common? They all rely on biochemists. As a Biochemistry major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, you'll gain the top-quality preparation you'll need to begin your career or to gain admittance to graduate and professional schools.
IUP's program is one of only a few in the country in which students can earn an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. IUP Biochemistry students work with state-of-the-art equipment in a high-quality program with small class sizes.
For your first two years at IUP, you'll study biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Beginning in the third year, you'll specialize in biochemistry. In your senior year, your participation in research is a unique feature among university undergraduate programs. IUP professors are highly committed to student field experiences, research, and hands-on projects.
The Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry will prepare you to enter graduate programs in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, and molecular biology, as well as professional schools in the health sciences. With this degree, you could find employment in industrial or government research laboratories or in industrial production facilities.
Other areas you could pursue include toxicology, cancer research, food science, biotechnology, genetic engineering, immunology, and medical research.
According to a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 39 percent of biological scientists were employed by the government at various levels. The report found that most of the remainder worked in research and testing laboratories, the pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing industries, or colleges and universities.

If any cocktail proves the culinary notion that products born together pair best, it is the daiquiri. Its components (excepting ice, of course) are gifts of the tropics: lime, sugar and rum. And ice treatment—straight up or frozen—is the crux of debate in what otherwise is a simple drink.

Federal XM118LR
Posted 12 October 2012 - 05:08 PM
I only shoot Black Hills 175g BTHP thru my baby... but I'd be G'Dammed 30$ a box of 20.
so on luckygunner I found Federal XM118LR, 500rd loose ammo.

Posted 13 October 2012 - 06:55 PM
Posted 14 October 2012 - 03:48 AM
I've shot the M118LR, and a reload of it (from "Mac's Reloads" - very good stuff), and it's a damn good round through a 1:10 twist Fulton Criterion 18.5" stainless barrel.
SIG - If I had a glass eye, I'd put it in a sock and beat your ass with it...
Posted 18 October 2012 - 05:12 PM

Helen's Flanneling
Ex-Corrie star may be Britain's Sexiest Woman but she is no talker
HELEN FLANAGAN might have picked up the FHM award for Britain's Sexiest Woman on Wednesday night but the former Corrie star won't be winning any gongs for her chat.
Asked how it felt to be given the honour, she said: "Erm, well, yeah it's good. Absolutely, FHM is such an amazing, cool magazine, so yeah."
