The efficiency of solar heat collectors is affected by the amount of convection, conduction and radiation losses associated with their construction. It has been found that heat losses due to convection and conduction may be materially reduced by evacuating the air space within the solar collector about the absorber or collector plate. However, in the case of standard flat plate solar heat collectors having standard sized flat plate absorbers, it has not been possible to evacuate such collectors and provide a single solar window over the same which is supported solely about edge portions thereof, due to the atmospheric load which is exerted thereon upon evacuation of the collector. That is, with a standard atmospheric pressure of about 15 lbs./sq. in., an evacuated relatively shallow solar collector structure will have an atmospheric pressure of approximately one ton per square foot on the collector window.
Realizing that it was impossible to subject the standard flat window of a flat plate heat collector to such forces without catastrophic failure, the prior art devices such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,122 and No. 3,974,823 utilized two solar windows spaced apart from one another to form a dead air space between the ambient atmosphere and the interior of the solar collector containing the absorber plate. Although the dead air space provided a degree of insulation, convection and conduction heat losses of significant magnitude were still experienced.
In order to provide the desired vacuum within the solar collector so as to minimize convection and conduction heat losses from the absorber plate through the collector window to the ambient atmosphere, tubular solar collectors were utilized as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,227,153. The use of the tubular construction, which is strong in compression, permitted the evacuation of the solar collector and thereby materially reduced heat losses due to convection and conduction. However, the diameter of the solar collector was of course limited to practical aspects which accordingly limited the area of the flat plate collector or absorber member retained therein. Thus, in order to obtain the same surface area as was obtainable with a standard flat plate collector of a relatively large shallow structure, it was necessary to provide a multiplicity of such tubular collectors.
Other attempts have been made in supporting expansive flat solar windows in evacuated flat plate collectors, such as utilizing support posts as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,995,615 and longitudinally extending partition walls as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,038,965. Although the support posts of the former patent permit utilization of a standard flat plate collector, each of the support posts in fact reduces the effective area of the collector and may impart unsafe stress to the flat window at each contact point. In the case of the latter patent, the plurality of longitudinal partitions necessitate the utilization of a plurality of small collector plates similar to that used in the evacuated tubular collector, and again such partitions may interfere with optical efficiency and function as conductors or heat sinks to the solar window with the resultant loss of efficiency.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,986,491 discloses the use of a sheet of transparent or translucent corrugated plastic positioned above and across a metallic heat collecting surface having hills and valleys, with the corrugation as far as possible focusing the rays of the sun on one side of the flaring hills in the morning and focusing the solar rays on the opposite side of the hills during the afternoon. However, the solar collector is not evacuated, as an air space is provided within the collector between the transparent or translucent plastic solar window and the metallic collector plate.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,186,723 and 4,184,480, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference, disclose in various embodiments evacuated insulating contoured windows which are supported solely about a peripheral seal edge for the structure. A plurality of laterally extending support beams project arcuately outwardly from the support edge and are joined along adjacent portions to form a plurality of sinusoidal corrugations. In the former a solar panel within the window is in contact with only a limited portion of the seal edge and thus conduction losses are minimized. While the above structure may be constructed having any length desired, the lateral dimension is limited to practical size by the contour of the beams.
Accordingly, the present invention has overcome the problems of prior art devices by providing a perforated or segmented evacuated flat plate collector within a substantially continuous solar window which is supported about peripheral portions and intermediate portions within the perforations which withstand the atmospheric forces exerted thereon.
In its simplest form, the present invention is directed to a contoured insulating structure or cover for an enclosed chamber and an evacuated perforated flat plate collector utilizing such structure in the form of a solar window. The solar window is supported about its peripheral portions, and in order to withstand the pressures exerted thereon by the atmosphere, the window may be domed along its longitudinal and/or transverse extent. In order to form one or more beams which will withstand the atmospheric pressure with a minimum of glass deformation, the upwardly extending domes are each contoured in the form of a paraboloid, a spheroid or ellipsoid. The beams are joined along adjacent portions to form a plurality of intermediate corrugated support means, the junctures of which lie in a plane freely resting on a lower portion of the structure in the perforations. Thus, it is possible to form a continuous window for an evacuated flat plate collector which is of a minimum thickness and weight, but yet will withstand the forces of atmospheric pressure being exerted thereon.
The problem of producing a continuous solar window for an evacuated solar collector not only resides in the production of such a window which will not fail when subjected to atmospheric pressure, but in forming such a window with a minimal thickness so as to minimize the weight of the collector and facilitate transmission through the window. Since many solar collectors are mounted upon roof portions of residential or commercial buildings, it is necessary from a pure structural and economic standpoint to limit the amount of weight incorporated within the solar collector, and thus minimal solar window thickness is desired. Further, transmission is certainly enhanced and refraction reduced by utilizing minimal thickness solar windows. In the U.S. Pat. No. 4,186,723 such considerations are discussed and are incorporated herein by reference. Since it is intended to provide intermediate support means in the present invention it may be possible to yet further reduce the glass thickness. However, for purposes of the disclosure the minimum thickness allowable therein would be workable herein.
FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic contour line drawing of the top plan view of a solar window embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal elevational view of the window taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an offset lateral cross sectional view in elevation taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a top view of an evacuated flat plate solar collector with a portion of the top window removed.
FIG. 5 is an offset lateral cross section in elevation of the collector of FIG. 4 along line 5--5 thereof.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmented lateral cross section of a pipe contour taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged fragmented axial cross section of a pipe contour taken along line 7--7 of FIG. 5.
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly FIGS. 1-3, a contoured solar window 10 is disclosed having a 3�3 array of domed members or domes 12 each extending longitudinally and transversely thereof. Each dome 12 may be in the form of or take the shape of a paraboloid, spheroid or ellipsoid 14. The window 10 is bounded by a peripheral sealing edge or flange portion 16 which lies within a plane 18. The domes 12 terminate at their upper extent in peaks 20 and at their lower extent in valleys 22. Pipe contours 23 are located at spaced intervals in the valleys 22 to accommodate a fluid carrying member later described.
It should be appreciated from FIG. 1 that, although any arrangement may be possible, the solar window 10 shown is a 3�3 array of domes 12. Pipe contours 23 are located depending on the path defined for the passage of working fluid through the solar collector hereinafter described, and thus, may be in traverse or lateral directions through the respective valleys.
The underside of valleys 22 lie in the plane 18, and form intermediate supports 25 resting on lower portions of a solar collector housing (hereinafter described). It is intended that the intermediate supports 25 will be in contact only with non-heat conducting members to reduce conduction losses.
It should be appreciated that the shape of the domes 12 illustrated is important since shape reversals (i.e. going from convex to concave) are to be avoided if possible and, where incorporated by necessity, should be carefully designed. In FIG. 1 for example contour lines 19 of domes 12 are shown as continually curving lines in projection. This illustrates a principle of the present invention that each dome 12 curves outwardly in all directions. As much as possible any number of normals N--N' to contour lines 19 are not parallel. It should be understood that there may be for certain parts of the window 10 parallel normals N (e.g. for cylindrical pipe contours 23), but the nonparallel normals are predominant by design. Surface reversals from convex to concave are bound to occur as is evident from the design of the window 10. For example domes 12 and pipe contours 23 are convex. But transitions from one dome to the next (valleys 22) are concave. Similarly, transitions from dome 22 to pipe contours 23 (arrow 17) are concave, as are the transitions from pipe contours 23 to intermediate supports 25 (arrow 15). These transitions may be designed so that the resulting stresses are minimized. Incorporation of the intermediate supports 25, as in the case of the valleys 22, reduces stress by virtue of added support. The inherently strong cylindrical shape of pipe contours 23 reduces stress and, where reversals are required, the total area subject to stress is minimized by designing the reversals with gradual but relatively short radii.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5 an evacuated flat plate solar collector 30 is shown having a housing including a pair of upper and lower portions in the form of contoured solar windows 10 of the present invention sealed together along a juncture 17 of opposed peripheral seal edges 16. Various sealing modes may be utilized as desired, for example, frit and fusion seals. A perforated or segmented collector plate or absorber 32 having at least one fluid channel 34 secured to an under surface thereof is shown positioned within a partially evacuated chamber 36 formed between said solar windows 10. In all cases, the contoured solar windows 10 are partially supported against atmospheric pressure about their peripheral sealing edge or support flange portions 16. Since it is preferable to insulate the collector plate 32 from the solar windows 10, the collector plate 32 is suitably spaced therefrom.
The spaced domes 12 may be contoured in the shape of paraboloids, spheroids or ellipsoids which provide a plurality of structures extending all or part way transversely across the window 10. In the 3�3 arrangement shown in FIG. 1, each dome 12 extends part way across the window 10 and forms a collapse resistant structure. In a 1�3 arrangement each dome would fully extend across the window in one direction but part way in the other.
To form a solar window of minimum thickness strengthened glass material may be used which can withstand the atmospheric forces exerted on the exterior thereof due to the evacuated chamber 36 formed interiorally thereof. The shaped cross section of each dome 12 in FIG. 4 is sufficiently arcuate, so that the plurality of domes 12 joined together along adjacent base portions or valleys 22, maximize the overall strength with a given minimum thickness of strengthened glass, and with a minimum amount of deformation of the strengthened glass.
It is preferred to produce the contoured solar window of the present invention from a glass having a relatively high tensile strength and a modulus of rupture (MOR) about three times the anticipated maximum stress. For the structure shown it is anticipated that the maximum stress the window will see is about 5000 psi, thus the designed minimum MOR is about 15,000 psi. As previously pointed out in U.S. Pat. No. 4,186,723, a laminated or chemically strengthened glass permits the utilization of much thinner and accordingly much lighter glass sheet due to the higher MOR. The laminated glasses utilized may be formed in accordance with the disclosure set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,673,049, whereas the chemically strengthened glasses may be obtained through utilization of the disclosure set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,430, the teachings of the latter two patents also incorporated herein by reference as necessary. Although other glasses may be utilized, the required increase in glass thickness and accordingly overall weight detract from both the optics and economy of utilizing such other glasses. Further, the lower window portion shown in FIG. 5 may be replaced with a suitably strengthened and insulated housing, since the solar collective aspects of the lower window are unimportant; however, we prefer the utilization of the double window structure shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 due to the high strength to weight ratio obtained through utilization thereof.
Various absorbing coatings may be applied to the absorber 32 and reflective coatings to the inner surface 11 of the windows 10 as is known in the art to enhance the collection of solar energy.
The collector plate 32 may be separated into a plurality of individual flat plates 33 each supported in part by fluid tubes 34 connected to the underside. If desired, support may be provided peripherally by edge clips 35. The collector plate 32 is out of contact with the intermediate supports 25 in plane 18, thus avoiding conduction loss to the window 10. Each flat plate 33 is sized so that its peripheral edges 29 come as close as possible to the glass near the valleys 22 without contacting, thereby maximizing the collector area. Although the individual arrangement of flat plates 33 is preferred for this embodiment, it is possible if desired to have a single collector plate 32 having perforations to accommodate the intermediate supports 25.
Intermediate supports 25 of the one window 10 rest freely against the same portion of the other window 10. An inorganic material such as glass fiber (see heavy line 37 in FIG. 7) may be located between intermediate supports 25 to act as a cushion and prevent abrasion therebetween.
Pipe support clips 38 are fitted about the fluid carrying members or pipes 34 to space them away from contact with the glass of the windows 10 as the pipes 34 pass through the pipe contours 23 from one dome 12 to another. Clips 38 are split at 39 to facilitate assembly and allow for expansion.
In another embodiment of the present invention a pair of solar windows 10, arranged as set forth in FIGS. 4 and 5, may be utilized without the collector plates 32 and fluid carrying member 34 and without the provision for pipe contours 23 and glass fiber cushion 37. The pair of windows 10 thus act as an evacuated transparent window or solar skylight. Such an arrangement is advantageous for passive solar applications. In addition to the foregoing, the apparatus of the present invention may be utilized as a substitute for roof or wall structure components in a building or dwelling, thereby reducing the ultimate cost of materials and fabrication. The present invention is simple in construction and component parts. Thus the cost per square foot of collector or unit of energy collected is thereby made more attractive for widespread use.
Although the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

text: This remake of the classic game made in the 80's was one of the best that comes out of Midway.User Rating: 10 | Defender PS2By chancePurvis | Review Date: November 4, 2011 The Defender game is a Playstation 2, Game Cube, Xbox, and Gameboy Advance game.However the PS2 is the shining glory of the entire game. With graphics and little to no glitches. The Defender remake was done in 3D, and it puts you in the seat of Commander Meia Kyoto, a rookie defender pilot. Who fights for the GSA, and to destroy the alien scourge known as the Manti. The game has only 13 levels, but those 13 levels have kept me playing this PS2 game for almost 100+ hours. The one thing I didn't like about the game was that there was no customization on if I want to change weapons, or if I want a new paint job. Instead once a upgrade or a weapon was purchased that decision sticks with you till the end. As a huge gamer, I give this game a 10 and 5 ***** because it wasn't the average starfighter type game instead I believe it set the standard. It wasn't appreciated like it deserved. The one reason it didn't do so well was the advertising. If it was advertised correctly we'd be looking a series of Defender Games.

Large association stops building cheap rented homes
A major London housing association has ditched affordable and social rent from its development plans, in a response to George Osborne's 'watershed' budget.
Source: Jonathan Goldberg
Genesis Housing Association has revealed it will now build only for shared ownership, market rent and outright sale after concluding that the government is 'no longer interested' in low-cost rented housing.
The Budget introduced measures to reduce social housing rents, alongside the planned Right to Buy extension and a forthcoming 'refocusing' of government housing budgets towards homeownership products.
Neil Hadden, chief executive of Genesis, said: "We are not able, or being asked, to provide affordable and social rented accommodation to people who should be looking to the market to solve their own problems. I do think [the Budget] is a watershed in all sorts of ways."
The 33,000-home landlord will also review its general needs rented accommodation as it becomes vacant – with a view to selling it or changing its tenure. It comes as other landlords consider developing more shared ownership in place of cheap rental products, although none have yet gone as far as Genesis in ruling out new sub-market rented homes.
Genesis was aiming for a third of its development programme to be for market rent and sale, a third for shared ownership and a third for affordable and social rent. It will now aim for a 50/50 split between shared ownership and market products.
"I also happen to believe that this government is not particularly interested in producing affordable rented accommodation… and I think that's a big paradigm shift," Mr Hadden added.
The landlord plans to negotiate with the Greater London Authority (GLA) over schemes it has committed to under the 2015/18 Affordable Homes Programme.
Paul Phillips, finance director at Notting Hill Housing – another large London landlord – added: "The options [for us] are to reduce the development programme, or reprofile it away from affordable rent and towards shared ownership."
He said this would not mean an immediate end to developing for affordable rent. Other landlords have told Inside Housing they are considering increasing shared ownership provision.
But Tony Stacey, chief executive of South Yorkshire Housing Association and chair of Placeshapers, said: "It depends what you're about as an organisation, and it depends on your ethics as an organisation… I would be very, very surprised if any Placeshapers members took that view."

Wolfsangel is one of those books that just feels epic, the kind of epic found in legends and myths and less often than you would think in fantasy books. Though a newcomer to the genre, M.D. Lachlan brings with this genre-debut a lot of weight and excitement, which is, of course, always a plus. Woflsangel is the bringing of a historical fantasy series that will span the centuries from the period in this book, Vikings, to WWII. Far from flawless, Wolfsangel is nevertheless a novel that is sure to thrust its author forward in the fantasy genre
The Viking King Authun leads his men on a raid against an Anglo-Saxon village. Men and women are killed indiscriminately but Authun demands that no child be touched. He is acting on prophecy. A prophecy that tells him that the Saxons have stolen a child from the Gods. If Authun, in turn, takes the child and raises him as an heir, the child will lead his people to glory. But Authun discovers not one child, but twin baby boys. Ensuring that his faithful warriors, witness to what has happened, die during the raid Authun takes the children and their mother home, back to the witches who live on the troll wall. And he places his destiny in their hands. And so begins a stunning multi-volume fantasy epic that will take a werewolf from his beginnings as the heir to a brutal viking king, down through the ages. It is a journey that will see him hunt for his lost love through centuries and lives, and see the endless battle between the wolf, Odin and Loki - the eternal trickster - spill over into countless bloody conflicts from our history, and over into our lives.
Like I said, this is a story clearly reminiscent of the classic tales. It shares both many themes and the feel of such tales. The basic premise too, is similar. I mean, who has never read, watched or heard a story about a young prince setting off on a quest to rescue his loved one? It doesn't even seem as if such a flimsy premise could hold up the weight of an entire novel. And it doesn't. That's what is great about premises: their premises. They do not dictate the entire plot, just its beginning. Very quickly Lachlan starts to tell a very different story, one filled with dark magic, unknown beasts, intrigue, some intense battles and ripe emotions, not to mention the entire second, parallel, plot that runs along with the prince-on-a-quest one. The story is also made more interesting by the fact that it tells the stories of both twins at once, interweaving them as is appropriate, making it a whole lot more fulfilling.
In terms of characters…well, let's just say that in much the same way as the tone of the book, they resemble the characters of old epics. Which is to say that they can often be distant and a bit un-relatable one moment and the other are humane and all the more lovable. It's a bit inconsistent, if it doesn't really deter from reading. This isn't helped by the fact that the two main characters, the twins, have sort of inverse relationships in terms of their character arcs, meaning a switch between their personalities occurs. Sadly, one of the characters I grew to appreciate in the first chapters of the book, King Authun, soon disappeared before making a short and disappointing return for the denouement.
What bothered me the most about Wolfsangel is the broken transitions between the various elements of the story, bet it point of views or different story arcs. In general, these switches were fine when they happened from one chapter to the next (though there were a couple of times were even those were rough) but instead happened when there is a sudden jump within a chapter. Quite a few times I noticed a bit of a wandering viewpoint where for a whole chapter we would be in limited and then for just one paragraph we would be in omniscient before snapping back to where we were. I'm not usually very picky about this, but I do like consistency and it did seem to me occasionally too blatant. On the whole though, neither this nor the broken transitions were enough to prohibit my enjoyment of the novel.
After reading what is above, does it come as a surprise that I recommend this? There is very little not to love in Wolfsangel or M.D. Lachlan's resplendent prose. The novel possesses phenomenal action and stupendous scope. A highly recommendable read for any fan of fantasy or any interested in an original new take on the werewolf mythos as well as any that fancy an entertaining jaunt across a Viking-filled north. One piece of advice before leaving: keep an eye on Lachlan because he is sure to amaze us with his feature novels.

My Rating: 4 out of 5

I like it. More rivalry matchups in the playoffs each year. Pitt/Washington would probably have to go through each other at some point. Just comes a round earlier than in the old format. But they'll get an easier matchup in the conference finals presumably.
So much parity in hockey that every matchup every round could see either team win. I think the format would be a much bigger deal in any other sport, but I don't think it makes a significant difference in the NHL.

They should just keep a rotation between continents for hosting. And the continental confederations determine where the games will be played. I know the US could host on its own, but for the sake of the rest of the nations in the world, I think there should only be joint bids accepted going forward. National leaders won't feel the need to put up the funds for the money pits that are stadiums.
WC loses its intimate feel with joint bids. But that was always going to go away when the tournament expanded to 48 teams because there are very few countries that could host on their own. And FIFA would like to be more inclusive of where games are played.

Best I can come up with? I'm just trying to get clarification on what you're thinking regarding depth for next season. Not trying to put you down or anything like that. If you're being defensive about my comments, probably says more about you than me as I'm not getting personal *shrug*
In a discussion about what depth would look like next season, you asked if I'd be surprised if some played frequently against inferior opponents or blowouts. That is what you are using to determine if they qualify as depth. Hibbits, Wright-Jones, Lonergan and Watson all played in double digit games. Almost all against crappy competition or in games already decided. Why are the walk one not counted for depth?
We won't roll "legitimately 12 deep" because we most likely won't have 12 players capable of contributing in those important games. Not because JB will limit the rotation. He will, but it'll be because we don't have the depth to roll 12 deep and it makes no sense to play 12 players.

You miscalculated even by your own standards. According to you, Hibbitts and Lonergan and Wright Jones would be depth because they've played minutes against crappy teams. So by either of our definitions of depth, you're wrong.

|"Legitimately roll 12 deep"
"Legitimately roll 12 deep" means you think we are going to have 12 players capable of playing significant minutes. At least that's what I consider depth to be. Now you're saying depth consists of people playing against inferior opponents? That makes no sense. According to your standards, Teske and Watson were depth this season. They weren't ready to significantly contribute, which is fine. But in no way were they depth. I highly doubt we will have 12 players that will significantly contribute. If depth is just plyers that play, we will probably be 14-15 deep after you count walk ons.....

I highly doubt they give us a boost on defense as Poole and Livers have both had less than glowing reviews on that end of the court (which is not unexpected for freshmen under JB).

It is insanely optimistic to say we could roll 12 deep when five of the players you listed have not played one minute for Michigan and three played spot minutes.
I think our starting lineup plus Duncan are set to be solid. I think X will be ready for major minutes as most JB PGs have made steady improvements by their second year. And I think Matthews will be a good player for us despite only seeing him a bit at Kentucky and only practice reports to go on now. I think we can comfortably say that those two will be solid contributors at the least.
But we have no idea how good Teske/Davis/Watson and the freshmen will do. Brooks, Poole and Livers could struggle to adjust to the college game right away for all we know. Though I personally think they'll be ready for 10sh minutes a game.

I have never heard of Power Noodle before simply due to the fact that I am not involved in the business aspect of my job. Power Noodle is a business decision-making company that involves stakeholder intelligence solutions as well as one's business intelligence to clearly make business decisions. According to their website, Power Noodle 'provides out-of-the-box Stakeholder Intelligence solutions' that merge together people, the process, and technology to divulge the canvas one's business need to expedite better decisions. The Stakeholder intelligence involves the knowledge that is needed to symphonize, classify, scrutinize and make better decisions. The Business Intelligence involves the data-driven information needed to make decisions. Power Noodle just merges the two entities to make better overall decisions.
Pros :
Cons :
It seems that Apptivo cannot realistically address our suppliers issues. There is no way to easily integrate supply products into the system as margins are not automatically calculated etc. The product has loads of potential, but currently, it has serious issues with supply chain management.

today I went on a grand search for Doc martens. Because that is all I really want out of life, just to be a cool kid, with the fancy yellow kicks bro. I will probably end up getting mary janes though, just to be EVEN CUTER than I already am. Just because my shortness and freckles don't scream I'M SUCH A CUTIE, as loud as I would like.
But first, let me take you through the magical path I trekked across today whilst on the inspiring journey of getting dressed.
1. sing in shower. this motivates me....... not to embrace life and all its opportunities, no no no. Just to, you know, run away and jin the cast of wicked or something. todays songs: defying gravity and don't you forget about me.
2. travel to bedroom, where you are (usually) safe to walk around half naked and try on EVERY possible combination of clothes.
3. This step, is the rough patch. The chapter of the journey that is hard going. AND you are not sure if you will make it all the way through to the end of the book (that was a metaphor, aren't I a fancy pants in need of a stroke worthy beard.) Yes indeed, step three is where you decide you have nothing interesting to wear, and you are just sitting there in your underwear, on the verge of a break down. And even youir underwear looks boring. And you are in grave danger of walking downstairs in a blanket, snivelling and ready to have a Glee marathon.
4. NEVER FEAR! step four is here. If you made it through step three and didn't give in to the tempting, tear worthy ballads of Finn and Rachel, their beckoning melodies so perfect, then you are ALMOST there. This is the most inspiring step. The bit that would have its own Oprah show.
This is where you glance across your wardrobe and see a beacon of light in the darkness. Perhaps, that one pair of socks. Their frills smelling of a bright future, their intricately woven wool singing sweet love songs to you.
5. Slowly, and rockily, you will manage to scrape together an outfit that doesn't make your mirror vomit and then bash you up.
6. The LOooooooooooooooooooooooongggggggg indesicive road down stairs and into the eyes of the public. Sure, you were safe in the santcuary of your bedroom, where you can sing bad 80's songs and no one really minds. It will take all of your willpower not to rush upstairs and throw on some jeans and a shirt that screams DO NOT NOTICE ME, I HAVE NOTHING COOL TO GIVE YOU. sure, that is fine somedays, when you feel like morphing into a couch potato, but sometimes you know you want to be a creative carrot and explode the world with your awesomeness.
7. I hope you had a meaningful journey. I bet you can't wait for tommorrow!!! Maybe, tommorrow you will decide to wear your pjyamas and give in to the inspiring, powerful and alltogether fist-pump-worthy sounds of "don't stop believing."
here is the outfit I wore today. I was feeling a tad moonrise kingdomy and just a little bit cute. Someone even asked me if I was a girl scout or something.
I used my brothers super duper fancy camera, which has a self timer so is pretty much the love of my life!
scarf-vintage market
t shirt- cotton on, forced to buy this from the mens section when I had to return some bras/tinsy scraps of material that squish everything up (if you know what I'm saying. YES CARLA, you scream, we know exactly what you're saying. Its Abby Road, in case you can't see.
badges- alien, i love NY and Maths Association of Victoria.
necklace- SHIRLEY! my dinosaur
skirt- market,
socks- cotton on.
the book is from a second hand book market and it is from 1937
AND: here are some pictures of my room. That i recently cleaned, sooooo is should be looking quite acceptable, as there are not yet fake flowers and gross hot glue blobs everywhere.
my slightly creepy, but awesome cross.
zines. I don't know if they count i made all of them except two. Please note: Antonia's AWESOME tavi gevinson zine, which I love very much.
NOW, what I listened to while writing this:
Please pleaase please stay tuned for a pretty awesome BREAKFAST CLUB post. I recently watched the movie and loved it and now want to be molly ringwald.
ps: also look three posts down, for some photos you can actually see.
pss: happy getting dressed.
psss: on thursday i am seeing a wonder woman/ riot grrrl/feminist movement exhibition! very exciting!

all free clear products. We have been using them for years in our house. My oldest daughter has severe eczema, when I say severe, I mean REALLY severe, some of the worst her doctor has ever seen. We have tried everything to try and help her skin and switching to all free clear products has hands down made the biggest difference. You can read more about what I have done to help her skin, including my long standing love for all free clear here and here.
When I first started using all free clear , I would wash just her clothes in the detergent, but everything else in another brand. It hardly made any difference, I found out that she was still being exposed to the chemicals in our family detergent by touching our clothes, towels and sheets. I switch to using all free clear for the whole family and I was surprised at the difference in made in her skin. Think about it, you wear your clothes on your skin all day long, do you really want all the chemicals in other laundry detergents by your skin that long?
all free clear comes in multiple forms, but I love the concentrated packs because it makes laundry so easy. I have been using a different brand of free and clear dryer sheets but all free clear just came with their own and I am thrilled. Of all the products in my house, this is the one I am most brand loyal to. As always with any laundry detergent, keep out of reach of children.

Rick Astley's Comeback Is No Joke
PIP/ShoreFire Media
Say the name Rick Astley in 2016 and you'll probably get a reply involving his 1987 smash "Never Gonna Give You Up," a brightly spangled devotional transformed into an internet punchline somewhere in the late 2000s. Its overwhelming sincerity helped make it a perfect "got your nose"–type fake-out — its beamed-in drums, high-gloss synths, and Astley's rich burr combined to make a love song that summed up writing/producing team Stock Aitken Waterman's vision of the Eighties, when bright emotions didn't need to come with a wink in order to register on the pop culture radar.
In Astley's biggest hits — "Never Gonna Give You Up" and his debut album Whenever You Need Somebody's other number one hit, "Together Forever" — the lush production and fantasias into various keyboard sounds were grounded by his seemingly impossible voice. It was an anticipation of Eddie Vedder's similarly low-register vocals via Bill Withers, shot through with muscular brio and all-in enthusiasm. Lost in the shuffle of Rickrolls was the fact that the second single released from Astley's debut was a cover of the soul standard "When I Fall In Love," his version a sincere proclamation of lifetime fealty nestled amid syrupy strings and harp arpeggios. Sure, the Stock Aitken Waterman sheen was key to his popularity, but close listeners knew where his musical heart lay.
Astley's transformation into the internet's favorite diversionary tactic came as he was renegotiating his relationship with the music business, which he'd left in 1993. ("I was a young guy and I was like, 'I don't want to be doing that every single day of my life. I want to hang out with my friends. I've made a lot of money. I want to spend some of it. I want to do the things I want to do,' " he told Rolling Stone in August.) In 2001, he came back with Keep It Turned On, which wasn't released in the States. A 2005 covers collection called Portrait came and went, and a 2013 full-length, My Red Book, was announced then scrapped. 50, which comes out tomorrow, is Astley's first release of original material in 15 years. (He'll play his first New York show in more than 25 years tonight, at Town Hall.)
In addition to the online prank that bears his name, there's been another relevant development since Keep It Turned On: the rise of Adele, whose emotional kaffeeklatsch brand of blue-eyed soul has been one of the few feel-good stories to emerge from the music business's woeful 21st century. That explains the title of 50, and it also explains the album's sonic themes. Gone are the synth zaps and drum-pad beats of yore; instead Astley, who produced and played all the instruments on 50, really leans into the pop-r&b aesthetic, bracketing his voice with piano whomps and choir whoops over tracks that have a lived-in familiarity.

The themes of 50, however, do surprise at times. There are lots of references to religion, from the saints spotted on "Coming Home Tonight" to the revivalist-preacher pose he takes on the vampy "Pray With Me." And then there's "God Says," which turns out to be a feather-light shuffle about how dance can give even the devil the power to be a good person. But it's probably not surprising that he's getting reflective; for all the talk about fifty being the new forty or thirty or eighteen, getting older in a world that fetishizes the young can have odd effects on the conscience.
The flip side to that spiritual yearning is that Astley's maturity has also allowed him to take control and bring back the memory of that "When I Fall In Love" cover from all those years ago — his voice is a little rounder on the bottom and somewhat weathered sounding, but his embrace of time's inevitable passage is no joke.

Review Ottawa University
So far, this school has held for me many highs and many lows as well. The campus itself is very pretty especially in the fall. There is many great programs for athletics and an awesome exercise science major option. Most of the school's population is athletics about a 95% to 5% ratio and also has a pretty ethnically diverse campus as well. I am apart of the biology program and I have experienced teachers who were not in my department to be very careless and harsh, but in my department they are very kind and caring. The class sizes are very small meaning that there is a lot of one on one attention with the teacher, but with small classes that also means that the campus itself does not hold many students. The student body is somewhere around 700 students this year, and I think that the school is trying to expand.
Ottawa University gave me the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love while also continuing my education, I live about 23 hours away from Kansas, and ever since I arrived here every student and teammate has treated me amazing, so welcoming and friendly, everyone here is so nice from holding the door open for each other to saying a simple hello or how are you doing.
For the semester that I lived on campus, there was always something going on in the dorms. The RA's normally have a game night or such planned on the weekends and sometimes on every few week nights. The only thing that I really have an issue with, but understand why it is a rule, that there is no opposite sex over in your room past 12 on the week nights and 3 on the weekends. This is a private christian college, so I do understand, but it is very annoying.
