The Soyuz spacecraft was initially designed for rendezvous and docking operations in near earth orbit, leading to piloted circumlunar flight. In the definitive December 1962 Soyuz draft project, the Soyuz-A appeared as a two-place spacecraft. The Soyuz would have been launched on a lunar flyby after successive launches of 11K tanker spacecraft with a 9K translunar injection stage.
To Korolev's frustration, while Filial 3 received budget to develop the military Soyuz versions, his own Soyuz-A did not receive the support of the leadership for inclusion in the space program of the USSR. The 7K-9K-11K plan would have required five successful automatic dockings to succeed. This seemed impossible at the time. Instead Chelomei's LK-1 single-manned spacecraft, to be placed on a translunar trajectory in a single launch of his UR-500K rocket, was the preferred approach. According to the historic decree of 3 August 1964 that set forth the Soviet plan to beat the Americans to the moon, Chelomei was to develop the LK-1 for the manned lunar flyby while Korolev was to develop the N1-L3 for the manned lunar landing. The Soyuz-A was cancelled.
In the second quarter of 1963, when Korolev had begun design of the Voskhod multi-manned spacecraft, he instructed his bureau to begin design of a three-manned orbital version of the Soyuz A, the 7K-OK. But the crush of work on other projects and the new lunar landing project resulted in development of the 7K-OK being stopped by the end of 1964. Soyuz was pushed into the background.
On 14 October 1964 Khrushchev was ousted from power, and Chelomei lost his patron. Soon thereafter, Korolev quietly reanimated his Soyuz-A project - not the circumlunar version, but a 7K-OK orbital spacecraft. Korolev's stated plan was for two of these spacecraft to demonstrate rendezvous and docking in earth orbit - but this was really a cover for in preparation for wresting the circumlunar program back from Chelomei.
On 25 October 1965, less than three months before his death, Korolev regained the project for manned circumlunar flight. This would use a derivative of the 7K-OK, the 7K-L1, launched by Chelomei's UR-500K, but with a Block D translunar injection stage from the N1. Originally Korolev considered that the 7K-L1, for either safety or mass reasons, could not be boosted directly by the UR-500K toward the moon. He envisioned launch of the unmanned 7K-L1 into low earth orbit, followed by launch and docking of a 7K-OK with the 7K-L1. The crew would then transfer to the L1, which would then be boosted toward the moon. This was his hidden reason for the development of the 7K-OK.
On the first orbital launch of the 7K-OK in November 1966 a large number of failures occurred, indicating many errors in construction. The spacecraft was uncontrollable and was finally destroyed by the on-board APO destruct system.
On the second launch attempt on 14 December, the Soyuz incorrectly detected a failure of the launch vehicle at 27 minutes after an aborted launch attempt. The launch escape system activated while the vehicle was still fuelled on the pad, pulling the capsule away from the vehicle but exploding the launch vehicle and killing and injuring several people. Analysis of the failure indicated numerous problems in the escape system.
The 7K-OK, after sinking to the bottom of the Aral Sea after a trouble-ridden third flight, was taken into space by cosmonaut Komarov in April 1967. This disastrous flight ended in the cosmonaut being killed. The 7K-OK was redesigned to the extent possible and went on to accomplish 13 relatively successful manned and unmanned earth orbital flights. The 7K-OK was later modified to the space station ferry configuration 7K-OKS with the addition of a docking tunnel. This configuration killed three cosmonauts aboard Soyuz 11 in 1971. Thereafter the spacecraft underwent a complete redesign, resulting in the substantially safer 7K-T, which flew dozens of times to Salyut and Almaz space stations until replaced by the Soyuz T in 1981.
The system will conduct fuellings and dockings in a 250 km altitude parking orbit, and be boosted up to 400,000 km altitude on lunar flyby missions. The system will be ready in three years. Military variants proposed are the Soyuz-P and Soyuz-R. Each spacecraft will have 400 kg of automatic rendezvous and docking equipment. Manual docking will be possible once the spacecraft are within 300 m of each other.
Korolev still insists on an unguided landing and categorically rejects the use of wings. A parachute will deploy and slow the capsule to 10 m/s. Then a retrorocket will fire just before impact with the earth to provide a zero-velocity soft landing. Korolev still insists that spacesuits will not be carried for the crew. First test flight of the 7K, without docking, could not occur until the second half of 1964.
Kamanin does not minimise Korolev's key role in creating the Soviet space program, but believes the collectives can continue the program without him. In truth, Kamanin feels Korolev has made many errors of judgment in the last three years that have hurt the program. Mishin, Korolev's first deputy, will take over management of Korolev's projects. Kamanin feels that Mishin is a clever and cultured engineer, but he is no Korolev. Over the next three days the cosmonauts console Korolev's widow.
Korolev's surgery was done personally by Petrovskiy, the Minister of Health. Korolev was told the surgery would take only a few minutes, but after five hours on the operating table, his body could no longer endure the insult, and he passed away.
Kamanin is furious. Mishin and Tyulin think an engineer can be trained to be a spacecraft commander in three months, without passing a flight physical, without being a qualifed pilot, without screening and training on the centrifuge or zero-G aircraft, and without parachute training. They put no value in six years of VVS experience in cosmonaut training. They give no weight to the years of general training, spaceflight experience, and ten months of Soyuz-specific training his candidates have already had. He notes that the United States trains crews for a minimum of one to two years before a flight. Kamanin says this decision will not stand.
Later Kamanin's group visits Darevskiy at MAP and reviews the status of Soyuz trainer completion. He promises to have them completed by the end of August. Finally Kamanin confronts Komarov over statements he made in Japan. Komarov admits telling the world press that the Soviet Union will, at the scheduled time, fly an automated spacecraft around the moon and return it to earth, to be followed by a dog flight, then a manned circumlunar flight. Kamanin has already had the Central Committee and Soviet Ministers calling him about this unauthorised disclosure.
At 15:00 a major review is conducted, with Komarov, Khrunov, Gorbatko, Kamanin, and other VVS officer meeting with OKB-1 leaders Mishin, Tsybin, Severin, Alekseyev, Anokhin, and other engineers. Film is shown of the difficulties in the zero-G aircraft of cosmonauts attempting to exit from the 660 mm diameter hatch. In four sets of ten attempts, the cosmonaut was only to get out of the hatch half the time, and then only with acrobatic contortions - the inflated suit has a diameter of 650 mm, only 10 mm less than the hatch. Mishin finally concedes the point. But installation of the hatch in Soyuz s/n 3 and 4 is not possible - the spacecraft are essentially complete, and to add the hatch would delay their flight 6 to 8 months. Then Mishin makes the astounding assertion that Gorbatko and Khrunov are not adequately trained to be engineer-cosmonauts, and without this he will not allow them into space. He suggests OKB-1 engineers Anokhin and Yeliseyev instead. After outraged response, Severin finally sinks this suggestion by pointing out that no space suit has been prepared for Anokhin, and that it will take two to three months to make one. Kamanin is astounded that Mishin has pushed Anokhin all the way up to Smirnov and the VPK without even knowing he could not possibly fly due to this restriction. It again points out their poor management. Finally Mishin agrees that spacecraft s/n 5 and 6 and on will have 720 mm hatches. The ECS for the suits for those missions will have to be changed from a backpack configuration, with the equipment rearranged around the waist of the cosmonaut. The crews for the flight will be an experienced VVS pilot cosmonaut as commander, and (Kamanin realizes he may have to concede) a VVS engineer as flight engineer cosmonaut. They will have to complete training by 1 October 1966.
Kamanin decides to smooth over matters with OKB-1. He calls Mishin, and then Tsybin, and agrees to begin processing of Anokhin, Yeliseyev, Volkov, and Kubasov as soon as he receives their personnel files and security clearances. Mishin promises to deliver the Soyuz mock-up of the Tu-104 zero-G aircraft soon - it slid from 20 July, then from 7 August.
In turn, Factory 918 insisted on a final decision on Soyuz crews. They cannot build 16 of the custom-built spacesuits for all possible candidates for the flights (8 from VVS and 8 from OKB-1). It was therefore agreed that the commanders of the first two missions would be Komarov and Bykovsky, with Nikolayev and Gagarin as their backups. It was finally decided to assume that the other crew members would be either Khrunov and Gorbatko from the VVS, or Anokhin and Yeliseyev from OKB-1.
Rudenko agrees with Kamanin's plan, except he urges him to assign more cosmonauts to the Soyuz 7K-OK group, and include OKB-1 cosmonauts in the 7K-OK, L1, and L3 groups, and Academy of Science cosmonauts in the L1 and L3 groups.
These cosmonaut assignments were in constant flux, and many cosmonauts were assigned to train for more than one program - resulting in multiple claims in later years that 'I was being trained for the first moon flight'.
Only late in the night Rudenko and Mishin finally agree that the crews for the first manned Soyuz flights will be: Basic crews: Komarov, Bykovsky, Khrunov, Yeliseyev; Back-up crews: Gagarin, Nikolayev, Gorbatko, Kubasov. Meanwhile poor weather in Moscow is delaying zero-G training for the flight. In the last week only one weightless flight on the Tu-104 was possible - and a minimum of 24 flights need to be flown before the launch. It was therefore decided to ferry one Tu-104 to Tyuratam and train the cosmonauts here - it made its first flight today.
Mishin receives an encrypted telegram from Okhapkin and Tsybin. They propose that one of the cosmonauts on the first mission will back away from the docked spacecraft on a 10-m long safety line and film the other cosmonaut moving from one spacecraft to the other. Kamanin believes only Khrunov (with more than 50 Tu-104 weightless flights), has enough training to accomplish the task. After a sauna with Rudenko and an attempt to watch a film (aborted due to projector failure), Kamanin takes a walk in a drizzly, evocative night. He visits the cottages used by Korolev and the cosmonauts for the first missions. A light burns in Korolev's cottage - Mishin is working late. Kamanin recalls his many confrontations with Korolev, but also remembers how well he managed people compared to Mishin. Even if he had already decided personally what to do, he took the time to listen to other opinions and everyone felt their views had been considered.
Later Feoktistov works with the crews on spacecraft s/n 1 to determine the feasibility of the 10-m EVA. The cosmonauts suggest a telescoping pole rather than a line be used to enable the cosmonaut to be in position to film the joined spacecraft. Bushuyev is tasked with developing the new hardware.
Crews for the L1 must be named in order to complete the five-month training program in time. Eight L1's are being completed to the manned configuration, but Mishin believes it is necessary to plan for only six manned missions. It is decided to train nine crews. Spacecraft commanders will be Komarov, Bykovsky, Nikolayev, Gagarin, Leonov, Khrunov, Volynov, Beregovoi, and Shatalov. Flight engineers will be Yeliseyev, Kubasov, Makarov, Volkov, and Grechko. Komarov, Bykovsky or Nikolayev will command the first circumlunar flight. Mishin promises to name the OKB-1 candidates for that flight by 8 December. Mishin and Kerimov agree that training of cosmonaut- researchers from the Academy of Sciences may begin, although both Mishin and Rudenko expressed doubts about cosmonaut candidate Yershov.
The failures of Cosmos 133 have been narrowed to entangled thrust vector vanes in the main engines and a single defective approach and orientation thruster. It is agreed to set the unmanned launch of Soyuz s/n 1 for 18 December as a final functional check of all systems. If this is successful, the date will then be set for the manned launch of Soyuz s/n 3 and 4. Flight control will be conducted from Yevpatoria.
Later Kamanin learns that Malinovskiy is dying of cancer and will not return to work. Kamanin prays for his own health in the remaining five to seven years until his retirement. He will be able to retire peacefully only once Soviet voyages to the lunar surface have become routine.
Mishin and Kamanin meet and decide on L1 crews: Leonov-Makarov (with Kuklin as back-up); Bykovsky-Rukavishnikov (Klimuk back-up); and Popovich-Sevastyanov (Voloshin back-up). But that evening Leonov has yet another automobile accident. He hit a bus with his Volga at kilometre 24 near Shchelkovsky. This was his second accident in four months. Kamanin decides to prohibit him from driving automobiles for six months.
In case Beregovoi has to do a ballistic re-entry, Be-2 seaplanes are in the air in case of a splashdown in the Aral Sea. On his 81st revolution, Beregovoi manually oriented the spacecraft for retrofire, then engaged the vertical sensor and ion orientation system. But the spacecraft hit on ion pocket and it took two to three minutes for the automated system to engage. Retrofire started 3 seconds late, coming at 9:45:05 and continuing for 149 seconds, producing a delta V of 95 m/s. The main parachute deployed at 10:12:24 at 7000 m altitude. Beregovoi spent 13 minutes under the main parachute, descending at 4 to 5 m/s. Soyuz 3 landed 10 km from the aimpoint at 07:25 GMT.
Kamanin compares the results of Soyuz capsule re-entries to date:
Soyuz s/n 7 8 9 10 11 Max G's 3.15 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 SA Propellant, kg 40.0 40.0 40.0 38.0 38.0 Propellant usage: Used Pre-reentry, kg 8.5 10.0 2.0 3.0 5.3 Used in Re-entry, kg 17.5 29.0 3.7 9.5 12.5 Total 26.0 39.0 5.7 12.5 17.8 Left at chute opening, kg 14.0 0.0 34.3 25.8 20.2 Miss distance, km 157 55 40 15 42
Spacecraft 17 through 20 will fly 15 to 16 day missions to demonstrate the new SZhO life support system for the L3, and conduct rendezvous and docking operations using the L3's Kontakt system. Additional Details: here....
A deadly spider is found at the sport hall. Many cosmonauts saw it for the first time, and it led to a discussion of the dangers of Central Asia. - poisonous spiders and scorpions. Kamanin also makes a pilgrimage to Area 2, visiting the Korolev cottage and Gagarin museum.
Kamanin also reviews the government decree on the DOS-7K space station program. The Ministry of Defence is against it - they want to continue with the Almaz and Soyuz VI projects already underway. DOS will bring both of these to a halt. This is a repeat of the situation in 1967. Kozlov was making good progress on the original Soyuz VI, when it was killed by Mishin. Now three years later Mishin's Soyuz VI is put on the back burner. The Soyuz 7K-OK is still the only manned program brought to completion. Kamanin blames all this on Ustinov and Smirnov's stupid political manoeuvring. The DOS decree has not one word on the training of cosmonauts for these space station missions...
In the evening Kamanin calls Tereshkova, and promises to tell Nikolayev that she and Aleuka were fine, worried, to kiss him, and the looked forward to meeting him on his return. On 8 June Aleuka will be six years old, and Tereshkova would like to fly to Yevpatoriya to give her a surprise communications session with her father. At 21:25 Kamanin relays the news from his family to Nikolayev during a pass over Yevpatoriya. Kamanin observes that the tracking station is not suited to serve as mission control over a long spaceflight. There is no transport, and no recreational facilities. The only diversions are gymnastics, chess, and billiards. Furthermore there seem to be a lot of unnecessary staff at the command point.
It is obvious to the Soviets that they were seriously mistaken about the effects of zero-G on human beings (Mishin thought flights of three to four months would be no problem). Kamanin recites again his belief in the need for more long solo Soyuz flights, how the leadership has blocked such flights, and the general lack of support for manned space. He even had to fight to allow the Soyuz 9 crew to go straight to the hospital and their loved ones, rather than attending ceremonies.

New Opera Web browser is speedy and feature-packed
Posted by: admin in Web on Sep 04, 2009
Tagged in: web browser
Like previous versions, Opera 10 is fast, configurable, and clean-looking--and it offers just about everything you'd expect in a modern browser, including a pop-up blocker, plug-ins, an RSS reader, and an antiphishing tool. Unlike competing browsers, it also has a surprisingly good built-in e-mail client, with support for POP3 and IMAP servers, the ability to create incoming message rules, and a spam filter. And, once again in this version, Opera bristles with features too numerous to mention in this short review, yet it packs them all into an elegant, simple-to-use interface.
The new features don't clutter up the browser or make it more difficult to use. Overall, Opera 10 is sleeker-looking than previous versions. But Opera's added beauty is more than skin-deep. Tab handling, for example, has improved, in that you can now configure the browser so that thumbnails of all of your tabs appear above each tab; the thumbnails are resizable as well.
Another worthy addition is the new Speed Dial feature (pictured above). Speed Dial improves on Safari 4's similar Top Sites feature by virtue of being more configurable. You can customize the page that appears whenever you open a new tab in Opera so that anywhere from 4 to 24 of your favorite Web sites display as thumbnails. That way, you can more quickly get to the sites you visit most often, with a simple click on a thumbnail. The feature is turned on by default, and the settings seem to offer no way to turn it off--not that you'd want to, though, because it has no downside.

Stadtbad Tiergarten Open Air
There are so many Open Airs in the city… on a good summer day it can be tricky to find out the "right one" . And because of Berlins risky weather situation – from Mauwi to Moscow in 3 seconds – one is tempted to stay in the neighborhood. There's also no denying that not every Open Air is of high quality, therefore one sticks to the familiar events by the usual people. The music has to be boogie and the sound stellar, there should be drinks and a good off-location without being threatened by the police. There should be a peaceful atmosphere and a loving vibe among the crowd. I demand soap bubbles and confetti for every damn Open Air in the city!
On Sunday, Nico, Elisa and I jumped into the car and ended up in an adventurous place in Moabit: the old Stadtbad Tiergarten! Gorgeous. We didn't quite know what to expect because I think none of us have even been to Moabit before and couldn't quite grasp if that was going to be a cool or not-so-cool kind of Open Air. But you know what always works for an Open Air? Empty swimming pools. And skaterboys hanging out in the sun. And little children doing their first steps tagging the freshly painted inner walls of the bowl.
The whole thing was organized by Berlins music label Fabelwesen. The music was perfect. The sun was shining. Income generated from the drinks was used for a good cause. Beautiful people. Big love!
Noch bis zur abendlichen Stunde, das , für mich, Beste Musikunterfangen dieses Jahr….
Und selbst das is eigentlich noch untertrieben!
Apropos 'treiben', uns trieb es was die Tränen in die Augen, als wr erfahren mussten, dass diese traumhafte Location demnächst abgerissen wird und es sich somit bei diesem ÜBER Oben Ohne um ne einmalige Sache gehandelt hat…
Naja sehn wirs mal so:
Der verdammte Berliner Sommer hat ja schonmal mit nem Knall begonnen, wer weiss wies dann erst noch wird!
Cheers and keep on dancing.
Geniale Fotos mal wieder. Nice Place anyway
geil geil geil :D
What others had to say about it
[…] Fabelwesenguys really know how to work an Open Air that matches my expectations. Last time I was thoroughly stunned by their set-up at the former Stadtbad Tiergarten. This time around they threw their little party in a rather popular backyard in Mitte. If […]

The sound of traffic

Asphalt pavements constructed with an open-graded friction course have been proven to generate less traffic-related noise than traditional hot-mix asphalt pavements. Photo: NCAT
Quiet pavement is nothing new to Europeans. The technology has been widely used in Europe for many years. In spring 2004, an International Scanning Tour—sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the Transportation Research Board—visited Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom to learn more about general noise reduction practices in Europe.
Tour participants found that three major pavement technologies are used in Europe to mitigate noise. These include the use of thin surfaced, negatively textured gap-graded asphalt mixes primarily used in urban locations and areas subject to severe winter weather; single- and double-layer, highly porous asphalt mixes used in rural locations with moderate winter conditions; and exposed-aggregate pavements used in areas of concrete pavement construction.
European countries are continuing in their commitment to lower traffic noise levels along roadways. The United Kingdom established a goal to resurface 60% of major roads with quieter materials over a 10-year period. The countries of the European Union have agreed to map noise contours along all existing roadways by 2007. Then each country will develop an action plan to address noise-related problems identified by this map.
More information about the team's findings can be found at http://146.6-177.170.
The concrete pavement industry is working to address one form of noise—sound at the tire/pavement interface—commonly called tire/pavement noise. The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) is pursuing research and testing with two things in mind, said Gerald F. Voigt, ACPA president and CEO. "We will not trade off safety or long-term performance, and we will strive to avoid significantly increasing initial costs or life-cycle costs," he said.
The answer to achieving a relatively quiet concrete pavement often lies in the pavement's texture. Since the late 1970s, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has required concrete pavement surfaces being used on federally funded highway applications to be textured. This led to the widespread use of transverse tining on concrete pavements, now known to produce loud, whining road noise in many areas.
The concrete pavement industry presently has powerful tools to produce quiet, safe, and smooth pavements, according to Steve Waalkes, P.E., ACPA's managing director of technical service. "We're opening up the industry to new ideas," said Waalkes. "There are alternative textures that are just as safe as transverse tining."
He cited longitudinal tining, Astroturf drag, and other methods for imparting texture. Diamond grinding also can improve both smoothness and sound qualities, Waalkes said. "Diamond grinding is used successfully to restore the smoothness and texture of existing pavements, and in some cases to enhance the qualities of new pavements."
A number of tire-pavement noise research and testing initiatives are currently underway, according to Larry Scofield, P.E., ACPA's director of environmental engineering, including:
Field experiments—The Center for Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Technology/FHWA/ACPA are working together on a far-reaching research project to evaluate pavement surface characteristics. The research seeks to understand the relationship between noise and pavement texturing (and grinding for imparting texture); to evaluate the noise/texture/time relationship; and to develop construction techniques that are repeatable and cost-effective.
Laboratory testing—At Purdue University—and with support from the ACPA and its affiliate, the International Grooving and Grinding Association (IGGA)— testing is being conducted using a custom-built grinding head, a key component of the tire-pavement test apparatus.
Sound intensity testing—ACPA has invested in an apparatus to conduct tire/pavement noise testing. Scofield noted that ACPA and the IGGA are conducting limited evaluations for contractors and agencies using a well-defined and consistent protocol that employs a standard test vehicle and specific brand and type of tires.
Other field testing—ACPA has conducted or participated in field experiments in Arizona, Kansas, and California. Scofield noted that these field evaluations are yielding some surprising and positive results that underscore the benefits of certain existing technologies used to impart surface characteristics.

It could very well be that higher CO2 levels may be the catalyst in a greater meterological event.
But is the chain of events already underway. Yes we need to change our use of resources, but we also need to prepare for the likelihood certain events have already begun that we can not reverse.
And for the future, the [IPCC] draft gives even less succour to those seeking here a new mandate for urgent action on greenhouse gas emissions, declaring: "Uncertainty in the sign of projected changes in climate extremes over the coming two to three decades is relatively large because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15698183It seems like the next IPCC report will be less confident about man's effect than previous reports.
Do you not think there is the remotest possibility that the refusal by these people to recognise the obvious is financially inspired?
Their is just to much change going on than too just call it an abnormality or a Normal Climatic Shift...Our planet goes through natural changes thats a fact, but changes happen over 1000's of years not decades.
Yank_LFC_FAN, how do you know that climate change hasn't in history occurred over decades or is that just your opinion?

May 2014 begins with a number of odd UFO sightings across Ontario.
On May 3 at about 9:16 a.m., a St. Catharines, Ontario resident was on the job outside when an "orange-red circular object" was seen just under the clouds. According to a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) report, the witness "found it strange"because there was also an airplane "in the same area above it. It was traveling from southeast, to northwest with the regular lights on."
The circular object did not change color and appeared to travel at a normal speed. However, the witness added, "It was bright, then as it got a bit further it dimmed and then seemed to disappear."
Twitching object
Also on May 3 at approximately 11:50 p.m., a Mount Hope resident saw a teardrop or shell-shaped object "twitching its way up in the sky." Something the witness had apparently seen "at the same time every other night." According to a National UFO Reporting Center report,"Over the past couple of weeks," the witness said, these UFOs were seen from a bedroom window.
"Over the past couple weeks, (I) have noticed a UFO in the sky through my bedroom window – "sometimes days back to back."
The witness noted that the object slowly rises, "wiggling its way up" in "very fast jerky movements. I zoomed in with a camera last night and it took on multiple colours, primarily a silvery/blue colour, seemed to change colours often up close, very flashy looking."
The witness wrote that sometimes it looked like a shell but "the shape changed frequently from a teardrop to a shell shape with (a) bright blue beaming from it. One night, I saw a fire-like thing shoot out from the side, just the one time."
The witness also noted that this particular sighting was watched for about an hour, during which time "two more appeared in the sky but in a different location, and they slowly moved together, spaced apart, up into the sky... again very quick twitching movements."
On a final note, the witness wrote that while video taping the sighting, "my cats growled at me; they never do that."
Pulsating red ball
On May 4 at approximately 4:13 a.m., a resident of London awoke from sleep to use the bathroom. As he returned to bed, he noticed a "red pulsating ball in the sky the size of a basketball." According to a MUFON report, the "star-like object" moved in a straight path but made directional changes.
"I thought it was a star, maybe Mars, but no," the witness wrote. "I went out to (the) living room and went out on (the) patio. It descended to the ground and within minutes, it changed direction and went up on a 45 (degree) angle heading to the north side of the city."
The witness added that he had seen similar objects over the years.

The story is random, the setting is even more random, power scales among character to character makes no sense whatsoever.

The series has waaaayyy too many characters and barely fleshes any of them out at all. Only the protagonist and his female love are fleshed out in any sense, which is a shame because the story does leave a lot of room for the other characters to shine, but they do not have enough time.

Women's Golf Prepares for Loyola Invitational
April 18, 2012
CHICAGO - The UIC women's golf team will embark upon its final tune-up before the Horizon League Championships this weekend (April 21-22), when the Flames take part in the Loyola Invitational at the Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin.
The field will consist of all Horizon League competition - UIC, Loyola, Green Bay and Valparaiso. The format will include one 18-hole round on both Saturday and Sunday.
"We're excited about this weekend," said head coach Carol Rhoades. "Our focus continues to be getting our scoring down in preparation for the Horizon League Championship next week. These two rounds will be another opportunity for us to improve."
The Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin is a classic links-style course featuring high fescue grasses, treacherous sand bunkers, and strategically placed mounds on each hole. The par-71 trek includes four par 3's, 11 par 4's and four par-5 holes.
UIC has been idle since April 10, when the Flames wrapped up competition in the Detroit Titans Invitational at Western Golf & Country Club in Redford, Mich. Freshman Alex Perez finished the tournament in a tie for fourth-place individually, while Kayla Stueland (13th) and Casey Hahn (14th) both finished in the top-15.
UIC went head-to-head against Green Bay at the Benbow Invitational (March 12-13), finishing 25 strokes ahead of the Phoenix. The Flames and Valparaiso also both competed in the same field at the Detroit Sunshine Spring Classic (March 8-9) in Orlando, Fla. This weekend's meet will mark the first time this spring that UIC has competed in the same tournament as Loyola, its cross-town rival.

Ex-Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer caused quite a stir last month when video of him giving a "pep talk" to fans of the Los Angeles Clippers, a professional basketball team that he just bought for $2 billion, went viral. Unlike most sports team owners who tend to be quiet, behind-the-scenes people, Ballmer seemed completely unhinged as he screamed at the crowd in front of his bemused players.
For the public at large, Ballmer's style may seem a surprise, but to those who follow the tech world it's old hat. For years, Ballmer's keynote addresses at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and his appearances at Microsoft meetings were legendary for his almost incomprehensible ravings, many of which are captured for posterity on YouTube. In fact, tech journalist David Pogue (formerly with the New York Times and now with Yahoo) famously opened his speech at MacWorld in 2010 by jumping on the stage, windmilling his arms, and screaming at the top of his lungs in an obvious parody of Ballmer's bizarre keynote at CES barely a week before.
Another former technology founder – Mark Cuban – manages to do his screaming on a different stage: the basketball court itself. Cuban, who sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999 at the height of the dotcom boom, is also an NBA owner. He's been fined a record 20 times for a total of $1.9 million by the league mostly for his criticism of referees when their decisions go against his team – the Dallas Mavericks. Cuban's tantrums in basketball arenas across the country are also the stuff of YouTube legend.
Now there are rumors that the notoriously temperamental Larry Ellison of Oracle is angling to buy a sports team himself. If he does, another technology exec will likely soon be making his own screaming viral videos on YouTube.
In other news around the tech world:
Software problems delay bike share programs – What if you owned a computer, the maker of your operating system went bankrupt, and they were the only supplier in the world? That's the concern cities from San Francisco to New York are facing today as they struggle to overcome problems with their bike sharing programs. Although the programs have proven to be fairly popular with local residents, it still takes technology to manage the system.
Most of the large city bike programs are run by Alta Bicycle Share, a small company based in Portland. But Alta's software comes from a Canadian firm called Bixi which declared bankruptcy in January. Bixi's murky finances have made it difficult to sort out repayment to creditors and dependence on their technology has delayed expansion plans in a number of U.S. cities, including San Francisco. If there was ever a good industry for a second-source software vendor, bike sharing is it.
New car tracking technology ready to roll – A company called 911TRACKER has introduced a small security device that uses GPS and cellular tracking to protect motorists in the event of accidents or theft. Vehicle owners can now command a call directly to 911 without needing to go through a third party call center and the authorities know immediately where the car is located. The company is targeting their product towards businesses that use vehicle fleets as a way to monitor location and resolve breakdowns quickly. There are also future plans to use the technology for Alzheimer patients, hikers, or even ships.
But first, 911TRACKER is pushing hard for widespread adoption in the car market. "We think eventually automobile manufacturers will license our technology," says Chuck Roedel, the company's President.
Airport security springs another leak – In the aftermath of the startling research unveiled at the Black Hat cybsersecurity conference in Las Vegas last month that showed huge network vulnerabilities at TSA airport checkpoints, it's hard to imagine the story getting any worse. But two weeks ago, it did. Researchers from three major universities published findings that showed Rapiscan Secure 1000 full-body scanners simply don't work. The results showed an inability to detect knives, guns, or explosives, which just about covers the field. The machines are also vulnerable to malicious software that can conceal such threats from view. The team successfully picked the lock of the cabinet where the scanner's computer is stored in ten seconds using a commercially available tool. Feeling any safer now?

BOULDER Ś The University of Colorado football team will don a new look this fall, as Saturday the school unveiled a revolutionary new design by NIKE, exclusively made for the Buffaloes.
Head coach Dan Hawkins and six current players participated in the presentation at Folsom Field introducing CU's new "threads." It following opening comments from KOA-Radio's Mark Johnson, the play-by-play voice of the Buffaloes, and Hawkins; former CU coach and athletic director Eddie Crowder was also in attendance.
After the video, Scotty McKnight and Joe Sanders came out wearing last year's uniforms, followed by Jordon Dizon, Bernard Jackson, Tyler Polumbus and Terrence Wheatley modeling the new ones.
The revolutionary changes involve new age fabrics and materials that will benefit the players during game conditions. From a design standpoint, incorporating one of the official school colors, silver, back into the uniform for the first time since 1981 was one of the main components of the makeover. Overall, it will make for a faster looking, modern design.
It's the first major overhaul in the football uniform since 1985, when the Buffs returned to black jerseys they had adorned between 1959 and 1980. From 1981 through 1984, CU wore two different shades of blue after a Board of Regents mandate formed a campus committee to explore adding or changing colors that represented the athletic teams.
The home jersey will continue to be black, but for the first time, will include both of the official school colors, silver and gold. The
There are two colors of pants, gold and black. The gold pant has silver trim a little over one-third of way down from the waist, while the black pant has gold trim in a similar fashion. The CU interlocking logo graces both sides.
"We are fortunate and honored to have a partner like NIKE provide such outstanding services for us," athletic director Mike Bohn said. "This uniform enhancement gives us a new look of distinction, and is a direct result of NIKE's expertise in design, production and vision." CU and NIKE first became partners in 1995, and are now in a third long-term agreement together.
Aside from the different look, there are several main technical details of the new uniform. These include:
ž Innovative Fit. The new jersey has an updated design and new performance fabrics producing a tight shrink-wrapped fit, thus minimizing "grab" points that opponents can hang onto;
ž Weight Reduction. Both the jersey and pants are lighter weight;
ž Increased Ventilation. A light-weight mesh is added in areas traditionally covered by non-breathable fabrics (upper back, neck and under arms), now enabling heat to escape;
ž Improved Moisture Management. Both jersey and pant are produced with the most technical uniform fabrics by NIKE that hold far less moisture, thus carrying less weight; this is very significant in the game pants.
Here's a chronological look at the known evolution of
circa 1958
The one game? CU wore navy blue uniforms for a Sept. 28, 1946 game at
During this period, number colors often changed, and as uniforms improved, there were naturally several modifications. But the color schemes for home and road remained consistent.
1959ŚThe basic look for the next several decades is born, as CU wears black jerseys for the first time in its history, with white numbers and a gold pant at home; white jerseys with a black number are worn on the road. Over the next 10 seasons, the helmets go through changes from silver to gold and with horns to numbers.
circa 1972
1979ŚThe numbers at home are enlarged and are now in gold with a white border.
May 28, 1981ŚBlue officially adopted as the primary uniform color in place of black after a Board of Regents mandate at its January meeting and subsequent follow-up recommendation by a campus committee. Originally suggested to be "the deep blue Colorado of Colorado's sky at 9,000 feet" by then-Regent Jack Anderson, jerseys were officially an "Air Force Blue" though different than the blue the Air Force Academy's sports teams wore. Numerals are silver and outlined in white, and the pant remained gold, but with a blue stripe, for both home and road. Football helmets remained gold but with blue logos. CU's trademark south end zone is painted blue, the first color change since it was created after the track was removed in 1966. CU's coach at the time, Chuck Fairbanks, has been routinely, and falsely, credited for the color switch through the years, which was not overly popular with Buff fans.
circa 1982
1984ŚThe colors are altered slightly, as the blue is enhanced to a darker hue, with the numbers in a yellow-gold, but borderless; complaints rain in from many, as players can't be identified from stands and in black and white photos and game films it appears as if players wore no numbers at all. The pant remained a similar yellow-gold with a blue stripe and white trim. Bill McCartney had the football team twice don black jerseys (against
April 24, 1985Ś"Black is Back" read the release announcing that athletic director Bill Marolt would allow head coaches of all CU sports teams (then 14 in number) the option of returning to black as the primary jersey color. The pant moves toward a metallic gold with no stripes (though in 1991, the road black pant had a gold stripe). McCartney's throwback efforts the previous season were the impetus for the change; the football jersey had a blue stripe on the arm for the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons before it was dropped altogether in 1988. The Big 8 logo graced one sleeve. The south area behind the end zone with

September 26, 1998ŚFor the Baylor home game, the Buffaloes don a sort of "throw-back" jersey that is gold in color with black numbers (with silver trim), along with black helmets (silver logo) and a black pant. It's the only time any of the components of the look (other than the pant) are used.
November 1, 2003ŚAgainst Texas Tech, the Buffs don gold pants for a road game for the first time since 1987; the team proceeds to wear all three selections (black, white, gold) through 2006, though white disappears following 2005.

June 2, 2007ŚSilver is reintroduced into the color scheme, as both the jersey and pant are overhauled. The black home jersey has silver numbers and gold trim in a new design never before incorporated in CU's look, while the white road top has black numbers with silver trim and additional gold trim elsewhere. Pant colors are black and gold; the black pant has gold trim, the gold pant silver trim. New fabrics also improve issues from heat management and uniform weight to making it increasingly hard for the opponent to grab various points.

The Great Sierra River Cleanup
Stay tuned for details on how you can participate in 2016!
September 17, 2016
Click on the site map below to find results for the cleanups from 2015. For a brief presentation on how to use this map, click here.
Want to support the annual Great Sierra River Cleanup?
We are grateful to all of our 2015 sponsors.
2015 Great Sierra River Cleanup Final Results
Check out our 2014 Results and GSRC Map Journal. The map journal includes pictures and stories from some of the wonderful groups that volunteered last year.
Seven Years of Cleaning up the Sierra
During the first seven years of the Great Sierra River Cleanup, almost 29,000 volunteers have joined together to remove over 800 tons of trash and recyclables from watersheds throughout the Sierra Nevada. Hundreds of community groups have spread across 22 counties and over 2,500 river miles to pull appliances, cigarette butts, beverage cans, baby diapers, tires, furniture, and more from the rivers and streams that provide more than 60% of California's developed water supply. This effort, in partnership with California Coastal Cleanup Day, serves to promote good stewardship on all of our waterways, from the Sierra to the sea.
What is the Great Sierra River Cleanup?
The Great Sierra River Cleanup is the premier volunteer event focused on removing trash and restoring the health of waterways throughout the Sierra Nevada Region. This cleanup is an annual event coordinated by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and held in conjunction with California Coastal Cleanup Day.
Why is it important?
The Great Sierra River Cleanup is about much more than picking up trash. It's a day for Sierra communities – and those from all over California – to demonstrate their desire for clean water and healthy rivers. It's an opportunity to learn about California's water source and it's a time to come together with your families, your neighbors, your community, and your friends to accomplish something vital and worthy on behalf of our great Sierra rivers.

The BMX is the most commonly found bike in the State of San Andreas; and especially the area in and around Los Santos. It is so common it is the primary transportation for you and your gang in the first few missions. Its advantages are that it has good handling for a bike, and it can do super high bunny-hops, along with wheelies and stoppies. Its disadvantages are its poor speed (when compared to the Mountain Bike). The bike is also not meant for off=roading use, and the player can endure injuries when using this bike for that purpose. The BMX is not recommended for getaways when pursued by cops. All in all, it is a well suited bike and a very fun means of transportation. There is a side mission inside the stunt park in Los Santos, where once you ride the BMX, you start a side mission where you have to get all the checkpoints in limited amount of time.
A BMX located outside Roboi's Food Mart in Commerce, Los Santos starts a Courier mission.
The BMX is the first available vehicle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This bike was reintroduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories with less opportunities when riding it.
GTA San Andreas
- This is the first vehicle introduced to you in the game.
- In the front yard of house next to OG Loc's house in Ganton, Los Santos
- In a long alleyway near The Pig Pen strip club in East Los Santos.
- On a pier in Verona Beach, Los Santos
- In the skate park in Glen Park near County General Hospital in Jefferson, Los Santos.
- Often found in garages around Red County.
- In Angel Pine Junkyard
GTA Vice City Stories
- Inside the Vice Point Mall (It automatically activates the mission Mashin' Up The Mall when the player gets on it).
- Besides Stonewall J's in Little Havana.
- The dirt-track in Downtown, activates the BMX Time Trials.

Technology update
Jan 31, 2014
Thin-film generator harvests energy from a beating heart
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in the US have unveiled a new nanogenerator able to harvest energy from a beating heart as it moves. The miniature device, which works just as well by harnessing the motion of lungs and other organs, is made from piezoelectric nanoribbons and could be used to power medical implants, say its inventors.
Implanted biomedical devices, such as heart-rate monitors, pacemakers, defibrillators and neural stimulators, rely on some form of battery power to work. And although these batteries have become smaller and much more efficient in recent years, they still only last a few years and need to be regularly replaced – something that requires the patient to undergo surgery. Not exactly an ideal situation.
The best solution to this problem would be to do away with batteries altogether. A team led by John Rogers has now gone some way in addressing this issue with its new device based on lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nanoribbons. PZT has a high piezoelectric voltage and dielectric constant – ideal properties for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The material is also highly bendable and mechanically strong.
The device works by harnessing the natural contractile and relaxation motions of the heart, lung and diaphragm, and converting these into electricity. And the good news is that the generator produces more than enough electricity to power implants such as pacemakers, for example. As well as being deployed inside the body, the same technology might even be used to make wearable health monitors if placed directly on the skin, says Rogers.
The Illinois researchers have already confirmed that the device is compatible with the major organs in several animal models. Hearts, lungs and diaphragms from pigs and cows were tested, for instance.
The main element in the device is a capacitor-like structure comprising a layer of PZT 500 nm thick sandwiched between two electrodes – one made of titanium and platinum and the other from chromium and gold. The set-up consists of 12 groups of 10 such structures electrically connected in parallel. The researchers connect each of the 12 groups in series to its neighbouring group to increase the output voltage. They then encapsulate the ensemble in a biocompatible material, such the polymer polyimide, to isolate it from body fluids and tissue. This approach has the added advantage of minimizing the risk of an immune response, explains Rogers.
When the device is bent, strain is generated in the PZT nanoribbons, which produces electrical charge. This results in a voltage being generated between the two electrodes.
Rogers told nanotechweb.org that his team has just received the go-ahead to perform clinical experiments in live animals to assess how they react in the long-term to the implanted devices. "We are now beginning work in this direction," he revealed.
The current work is detailed in PNAS doi: 10.1073/pnas.1317233111.

Translating trends at Armstrong

Translating trends at Armstrong
Armstrong's Howard Montgomery, creative design director, residential flooring, brings a unique perspective to the flooring industry. Having come from companies like Kohler Company and Kraft Foods, Montgomery tends to look outside of the category, closer to the consumer, to gather intelligence that will translate into Armstrong flooring.
"We need to talk less inside out and more outside in. If you really listen to consumers and homeowners, they talk differently with us. You've got to talk and listen differently — it's a fundamental flaw in any culture. It's not about selling and pushing. It's about identifying the pull,bCrLf shared Montgomery.
By looking at outside influences — be it political, social or environmental — Armstrong's Montgomery has identified a number of trends and cultural shifts that he said translate into some of the company's most popular products, as well as goods that are just now hitting the market.
For example, one of the six lifestyle macro trends identified is affordable luxury. At the same time, authenticity is a key driver, he said. Alterna is one product that directly fills this need, according to Montgomery. "Alterna is conveying that authenticity of look and surface in affordable luxury — it provides a balance between those feels.bCrLf Alterna LVT features digitally enhanced high-end travertine, quartz, slate and other stones in 36 unique visuals. New laminates and sheet goods, he added, are taking the company's handscraped hardwood looks and translating them.
The company looks at fads, trends and things that translate into principles to follow. "Fashion is a fad industry,bCrLf he said. "It's exceptionally seasonal, so you see shifts and change. The building industry moves slower, though in the past 10 to 15 years it has moved quicker, forced by technology and other industries.bCrLf
One trend, he said, is the move to darker woods. "For the past 12 years, we have moved to darker woods. It's rare to go to High Street Retail (stores like Crate & Barrel, Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn) and see blonde woods. That was a 70s and 80s thing. So the palette, as a principle, is dark woods, stains. That is what we would take onboard and apply.bCrLf This sensibility lives out in the company's vast assortment of handscraped woods, he noted.
"The thing that is apparent to us now, from a trend perspective, from the western part of the country is variable width planks. That is something that is a principle we are propagating within other categories,bCrLf added Montgomery.
Practicing what he preaches, Montgomery recently hit the road to talk with customers in California, noting, "There is a very distinctive consumer palette out there. I see a bit of a shift now to lighter, brighter palette of colors. How do we identify that and then understand that it is a very earnest trend that will come to fruition in the next two, three years?bCrLf
Other changes that are on Montgomery's radar are the 55-plus set as well as the new homeowner demographic. He noted upscale communities are popping up for the 55-plus group and that opportunity lies within. "They still have aspirations. There are many examples of how they affect our industry.bCrLf He mentioned products with non-slip surfaces, for example.
And then there is the new homeowner who Montgomery described as "more tech-driven, sophisticated understanding both price and product. It's a very different kind of conversation. How do we communicate and market to these people? The challenge I see with generation is a shift in emotions and aspirations.bCrLf

Growing up, Mark Giesbrecht was always one of those guys whose shoulder you could cry on. Now a registered clinical counsellor with his own Nanaimo-based practice, he says listening to his friends' problems - attempting to move beyond "I'm fine" to probe into what was really going on - simply came naturally to him.
The searching for truth, emotional or otherwise, was seeded early in Giesbrecht. He says it was the result of growing up in a strictly religious Mennonite home, where "you're supposed to pretend that everything's okay when it's really not." He says his upbringing, and his rebellion against it, helped form a curiosity about how people present themselves in a way that is not necessarily an accurate reflection of what's really going on inside.
Giesbrecht, who describes himself as highly introverted, found the extroverted environment of public school difficult. He went an unconventional route out of high school, working a variety of odd jobs - driving a truck, working in a warehouse, framing houses - but he yearned for work that, to him, felt more significant.
He thought perhaps he wanted to be a teacher, but it was during his third year as an English major at Simon Fraser University that he had a realization. He didn't want to teach kids, he wanted to help them.
Ending up with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in counselling, Giesbrecht's initial experience was as a youth psychiatric worker and counsellor. However the experience of treating children, only to have them return to the environment that was causing their problems, caused him to move on to addressing the health of the home environment. He now offers, among others, marriage and couples therapy.
Giesbrecht believes that everyone has "stuff" they're dealing with, but it's when someone is stuck: when a problem is not "some damn thing" but "the same damn thing," is where counseling can help.
"Honestly, most of what I end up doing as a counsellor is people come in and say, 'I have a problem,' and it's often just the way they think about the problem," says Giesbrecht, who thinks that much of the problem lies in the narratives people use in thinking about their lives.
Giesbrecht says much of what he does is cognitive behavioural therapy, which is the idea that thoughts create emotions, and emotions are often what drive our actions. If a person wants to change their behaviour, then they have to back up and look at how they tolerate and manage their emotions, says Giesbrecht.
"How I think about it metaphorically is, you know how water runs down the path of least resistance to form a stream or a creek? Often I imagine in our brain, the neuropathways of thoughts do the same thing. We have common thoughts that lead to other thoughts that flow in a certain pattern and we've been thinking that stream for so long that it's just normal routine. So it's showing someone the stream they're always taking and then tell them to stop, and carve a new neuropathway."
An innovative area Giesbrecht presently offers support in for is sexual addictions. It's a controversial issue in Canada, and one that along with gambling, has been exacerbated by the easy availability of "supply" on the Internet. He says there is much debate within the counselling community as to whether sex addiction even exists, or whether it people should simply be permitted to enjoy whatever sexual preferences they have.
However Giesbrecht says that if a client is on the Internet for 10 or 12 hours a day and unable to work or sustain meaningful relationships, that they're trying to stop and can't, it's his responsibility to try to help them.
He sees it as simply a symptom of an underlying problem, often the result of an intimacy dysfunction.
Of the people who approach Giesbrecht for help, he says generally women come wanting to change their lives and men come because they want to avoid pain.
"Our reality is what we think it is. We're all deluded," laughs Giesbrecht. "But it's okay, as long as it's working for us. Whatever you define in your mind - if it's defined and thought of in a helpful way, then you're happy. If it's defined and thought of in a negative way, then you're troubled."

Direct blogging from a cell phone - a security issue?
By gravax on Nov 27, 2006
So I got my new Sony Ericsson W850i and I decided to take a picture with it... no much fuss there. Given that it's a cell phone, and not a real camera, I wasn't looking as much for quality as I was looking to see what I can actually do with a cell phone.
Well... Now I know. After taking my picture, I have a "More" menu that appears... and one of the entries is "Blog this". I wondered how easy it could be so I tried it. I was prompted to enter a title... and a body for the blog... then I press "Send"... After a few moments of processing, the result was this : http://ggravier.blogspot.com/2006/11/mobile-bloging-security-issues.html
Interestingly enough, I can now walk into an area... take a picture, and in a few seconds, this picture is sent out and posted properly to a web log. I'm sure this will drive bonkers corporate security people. No luck now if, after seeing me take a picture, they try to take away the memory card in my phone. The picture is not only already sent out... but published. If you have an RSS reader linked to my blog... you are actively reminded that the picture is there.
Some businesses already were preventing use of digital cameras... and in some cases cell phones, but it's now really becoming an interesting issue to manage!
The world we live in is really turning into something fun.

The Garland County Sheriff's Office says deputies found a pipe bomb amid the wreckage of a pickup truck that a Pearcy teenager crashed.
Authorities told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/12clHRz ) that the device was found in a toolbox that was thrown from the truck after it crashed into a ditch about 4:20 a.m. Monday. The device was later disarmed by the Little Rock Fire Department Bomb Squad and Arkansas State Police.
The teen was arrested for driving while intoxicated and authorities say he may face federal charges related to the pipe bomb.

A single mother shares the same name as someone wanted by the police. The shared name has resulted in the mother being wrongly arrested twice by a northern Florida sheriff's office.
Ashley Nicole Chiasson, 28, spent 28 days in jail in January. She had been extradited to Clay County from her home state of Louisiana. Once officials realized they had the wrong woman, Chiasson was released from jail.
At a status hearing last month regarding the grand theft case that was in the process of being dropped, Chiasson was once again arrested. Chiasson was arrested on an entirely different charge and spent another week in jail.
Again, when the sheriff's office realized it was a different woman, Chiasson was released. Chiasson's attorney sent the sheriff's office a letter of intent to sue this week. The other Ashley O. Chiasson that the deputies thought they were arresting is older and taller. She is currently still being sought by the sheriff's office.

Todd Chrisley has a beautiful wife, a beautiful home, cars and five children who have been raised with the best of everything. What does a dad buy his daughter that has everything?
Todd Chrisley was not happy when his oldest daughter Lindsie eloped, but on the Tuesday, March 18 episode Todd Chrisley will pay for his Lindsie Chrisley's breast augmentation. The outspoken Atlanta real estate mogul turned fashion entrepreneur has a lot to say about the surgery, just as he does everything else.
Handling the implant, Todd turns to wife Julie Chrisley and says, "These feel just like yours." And of course, in true Todd Chrisley style, daddy welcomes Lindsie's new breasts to the family with a breast cake. "Look at the twins!" Todd proclaims as the family looks on. Todd laughingly tells Lindsie to "blow the nipples". Lindsie is embarrassed and says that the cake is highly inappropriate. Lindsie's baby boy Jackson crawls over and digs into the cake. Lindsie's brother Chase, who fancies himself a charmer, declares, "He's definitely a part of our family!"
Tune in to USA Network at 10 p.m. Tuesday, March 18 for more of "Chrisley Knows Best".
