I think the teachers are conspiring to kill us this semester.   far too much homework.
I have 4 designs for liquifying oxygen...now we (my group and I) just have to write up a ~50pg report on it
One design has pressures around 1000 atmospheres (about 14700 psi), lol, go figure, it's not the optimum design...

Not so long ago, in a galaxy not that far away, an unassuming Porirua man won $500,000 in Lotto - and drew up a strange shopping list.
With his wife he ticked off the obvious - pay off the mortgage, buy a new car, travel overseas, give to charity - but with The Force clearly with him, he decided to treat himself.
Now, he is set to become a Star Wars Imperial Stormtrooper, a member of the Galactic Empire.
He just has to log on to eBay and find a suit that fits.
"There are always things you think would be nice to have if you had the money," the winner told The Dominion Post.
"It's a bit of fun. I just thought it would be kind of cool to have one of those. Why not? You've got to enjoy life."
While his wife doesn't know just yet, he plans to spend about $2400 on a suit with all the bells and whistles, and "all the stickers in place".
The couple discovered they were in the money at the weekend when the man checked his Lucky Dip ticket for the September 8 draw online.
He checked, re-checked, "did a little dance up and down the stairs" and then telephoned his wife, who was out of town.
He does not know yet how often he will transform himself into a Stormtrooper, but can already picture himself wearing the suit in everyday situations for fun.
"It would be quite funny to wear it down the mall."
He admitted he was a keen sci-fi fan, but nothing over-the-top.
"I've got one or two collectibles, but I don't have Klingon on my CV. It's not about geekiness or anything like that, it's just fun."

Let me put it this way...we are making plenty of assumptions for the materials and costs. Like I said, there's a reason it is not our final design. The final one has a beautiful cascading heat exchanger network with three refrigerants and pressures up to only 412 psi and 100% liquefaction
It's taking over me!! Aaaah!

So yesterday was the Charlotte Shout Festival - a gathering of top Charlotte Chefs and some celebrity chefs. We helped out our local 501st because they were appearing on stage and helping to serve plates for Bank of America's Executive Chef and Johnson&Wales Professor Chris Ivers-Brown. Also on stage at the beginning were the Top Cats - cheerleaders for the Carolina Panthers.
Here are some photos:
Teenage boy borrows Vader costume from Dad's friend and has incredible photo op:
Everyone looking into the News Camera saying "May the Force Be With You"
The jawa is mine! 
Vader helped whisk the eggs:
Biker Scouts make great waiters!
Chef Chris presents the Carolina Garrison with a check for $2,500 to Make-A-Wish in Katie Johnson's memory. Chef Chris told Katie's story from the stage.
Vaderkid and TK-2970 with some guy named Alton Brown

He's got 3 shows now (Feasting on Asphult, Good Eats, and Iron Chef America + whatever else he's doing). This is also the "busy" shooting time at food network. Him being in a rush is not suprise.
