Tristan [TT] Carey of the Colonial Beach Drifters has been named the "Player of the Year" in Region-A, for boys' basketball. Carey has dazzled the entire area and Region with his amazing basketball skills throughout his successful career, and now he's topped it off by adding this trophy to his collection as the Region's best.
Carey averaged close to 30 points a game, scored an incredible 802 points in his senior season, became the all-time scoring leader at Colonial Beach High School with 2,400 points. And he's not done yet, as the high impact player heads into State competition this weekend. Carey also averaged close to 10 rebounds a game, five assists, 10 deflections and six steals.
Drifter boys' varsity head coach Steve Swope affectionately calls Carey the face of his basketball program, and an extraordinary young student/athlete for our community to be proud of.
Carey's teammate, Farinet was named to the second team All-Region, as he provided a combination of skills that mesmerized his rivals, night in and night out. Farinet averaged over 20 points per game, scored over 500 points total on the season. In addition, he averaged 11 rebounds, six assists and four steals per game to delight Drifter fans every game.
"Dylan is the most fundamentally skilled kid I've ever coached," coach Swope said. "Dylan can beat you in so many different ways—he plays the game with his head, his heart and allows his strength to overcome his opponents."
First Team All-Region-A: David Copeland – Chesterfield Community; Darius Robinson – Northampton; John Dille – Essex; Donzell Shearin – Franklin; TT Carey – Colonial Beach [MVP].
Drifters win it all

The "Black & Gold" are undefeated Tidewater champions
They are simply the best basketball program in the Tidewater-A District.
None can compare to the Drifter varsity basketball program, especially after they closed out their two-year tenure by pounding West Point and Mathews in the District tournament on Saturday night.
Before a raucous pro-Drifter crowd, in the unfriendly confines of King William High School, the Drifters celebrated their victory over Mathews in center court with hardware associated with championship crown. Reflecting on his team's performance, Drifter boys' varsity head coach Steve Swope said, "This was a great finish. Our team is running on high octane right now—and we hope to take it up a notch when the Regions start next week [home, Wednesday]."
Tidewater District Semi-Finals
CB 75 – West Point 38
The Drifters jumped on the Pointers early in the first quarter, building a 22-10 lead and then blew the game open as it progressed. Combined with fast-breaks and speed, the Drifters ran away with the game by extending their lead to 15 at halftime, 21 at the end of the third period and 37 by the end of the game.
Senior, point guard and area leading scorer, TT Carey had a banner night as he scored 28 points [12-24, 50%]. He also pulled down 10 rebounds, dished out six assists, deflected 12 passes and produced seven steals.
Junior, point-forward, Dylan Farinet added another dose of doom against the Pointers as he scored a total of 23 points. In addition, he pulled down 13 rebounds, distributed seven assists, deflected five passes, and stole five passes on defense.
Senior, forward Jamel Dickerson also had a hot hand against the Pointers. He scored 11 points [5-6, 83%] and produced three steals.
Other Drifter stats include: Thomas Peery – 5 points, 2 assists; Kevin Swope – 3-pointers, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals; Paul Roberson – 7 rebounds; Jeryl Dickerson – 4 points, 4 rebounds, 4 deflections, 2 steals.
Tidewater District Championship, at King William High School
CB 96 – Mathews 47
The Drifters approached the District championship game expecting a dog-fight, but finished the game dominating Mathews in every facet of the game-crushing Mathews into submission.
The "Black & Gold" jumped out to a 6-0 lead, but saw Mathews rally back to take the lead at 7-6, early in the contest. The Mathews lead was momentary, as the Drifters regained their traditional swagger by extending their lead to 24-15 after one quarter. As the game continued, the Drifters were relentless, as they built a 48-26 halftime lead, before dismantling the Blue Devils in the second half.
After the game, coach Swope complimented his team on their ability to score consistently throughout the game. "This is by far the greatest margin of victory in a tournament championship, in the history of our school."
Eight out of the ten man Drifter roster scored, while all 10 contributed at least one rebound or more for the night. As a team, the Beach shot 47% from the field, while out-rebounding their opponents 43-34. They also distributed 27 team assists, forced a season high 50 turnovers to create a plus 40 on the floor game and scored 15 three-pointers as a team.
District MVP TT Carey led the charge with 32 points [14-25, 56%]; three over his season's average. He produced a triple-double as he ripped down 10 rebounds, deflected 14 passes, stole seven passes and issued 10 assists.
District, unanimous first-team selection, Dylan Farinet added 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for a second Drifter to produce a triple-double in the same game. He also picked up seven steals and seven deflections.
Thomas Peery, Dylan Farinet and Kevin Swope all buried four 3-pointers apiece against the Blue Devil defense, that appeared to be physically and mentally drained.
Jeryl Dickerson scored four of five shots [80%] for 8 points. He also pulled down 10 rebounds. Alex Gorfida added four points and four rebounds. Joe Slater nailed a three-pointer and finished with five points and two rebounds. Jamel Dickerson scored a three-pointer and produced three steals.
As they prepare for more post season play and their winter 2009-2010 schedule in the Northern Neck District, the Drifters leave a legacy of success. They finish atop the Tidewater in first place with a 12-0 undefeated record, and 21-3 overall. Their current win streak has been extended to 11 games.
As for the Regional championship post season, the Beach has officially locked in the number one seed in Region A. They will host two games at the Drifterdome this week if they survive and advance. The first Region A game is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25, at home versus number eight seed Charles City, starting at 7:00 p.m.
If the Drifters win, they will host the number four seeded Surry versus number five seeded Mathews winner on Friday, February 27. If they continue to win, they will travel to Surry County on Saturday, February 28 to play in the Regional championship game, starting at 8:00 p.m.
Come one, come all to the Drifterdome this week to catch the red-hot Drifters put excitement in the air. Attention fans! If the Drifters win on Wednesday, there will be another white-out for Friday night's game. Wear white shirts or purchase white-out T-shirts at the game.

Beach is perfect with 10-0 District record
For the last two consecutive years, the Drifters have rocked the high school basketball nation. Most recently, the "Black & Gold" made it official by winning their second regular season Tidewater-A District championship, as they ran the table with 10 consecutive wins. The Drifters will enter this week's post season play needing two wins in the Tidewater tournament to clinch the number one seed in the Region-A tournament.
The Drifters attained these goals by winning their last Tidewater District game at home over King & Queen in a blowout. After clinching the title, the Beach prepared for the second season [post season play] by defeating Essex by 15 on their home court, and subsequently crushing double-A power Chancellor by 20 in their backyard.
In light of his team's recent success, Drifter varsity boys' head coach Steve Swope said, "We need to remain focused and concentrate on just the next task at hand, and not look too far ahead."
Before the Tigers could take a deep breath, the Drifters had ran up a 26-7 lead in the first quarter. The Beach shot 67% from the field as a team, handed out 18 team assists and produced an amazing 39 turnovers on defense.
Senior guard TT Carey led the way with 27 points on 11 of 14 shooting [79%] from the floor, 12 rebounds, four assists, 16 defensive deflections, two blocked shots and three steals. Carey is also the Fredericksburg area's leading scorer.
Junior point guard Dylan Farinet added 22 points on 10 of 12 shooting [83%] from the floor, nine rebounds, six assists, 10 deflections and five steals.
Other Drifter stats include: Thomas Peery – 13 points, 4 three-pointers, 2 assists, 2 steals; Kevin Swope – 10 points, 2 three-pointers, four assists, three rebounds; Jeryl Dickerson – 9 points [4 of 5 shots from the field, 80%], 8 rebounds, 2 steals; Paul Roberson – 6 points [3-4 from the field, 75%], 2 rebounds, 2 steals; Jamel Dickerson – 4 points, 2 rebounds.
CB 69 – Essex 54
The Trojans prepared the Drifters with a tough non-District, physical game that would prepare them for the upcoming post season. Not only did the Drifters slow down the Trojan's top shooter, John Dille, but also the held the Division I prospect to 14 points, which was eight points below his average. In addition, thanks to their 1-3-1 defense, the Drifters didn't allow him a field goal in the second half.
In the initial stages, the 20-14 first quarter start helped the "Black & Gold" control the tempo of game.

Within the first three minutes of Saturday's rematch between Colonial Beach and Lancaster, TT Carey and Dylan Farinet added their names to the roster of Drifter basketball legends.
Carey became the second player in Drifter history to amass 2,000 points in his varsity career. He joins Lamon White [2,226 points] as the only two to reach this hallowed status. Reflecting on his recent scoring milestone, Carey, "This is something that I've been striving for all of my varsity career."
Farinet knocked down a three-pointer to enter the 1,000-point club. Farinet has achieved his piece of notoriety in Drifter folklore in just two and a half years of varsity play.
After witnessing the growth of both stars from elementary school recreation basketball to their glory days as varsity players, Drifter boys' varsity head coach Steve Swope said, "These two young men are fine athletes, students and high character people. They are the face of our program and they exemplify greatness—needless to say, I am very proud of them."
The scale of Carey and Farinet's skills will soon be measured in the number of college recruiters knocking at their door.
On January 23, Drifter head coach Steve Swope celebrated his 30 years in coaching by defeating King & Queen.

This article shows the strength of The Economist, being probably the most important voice of free trade principles in the world today. I wholeheartedly agree with this article.
A lot of the comments to the article show a sad lack of support for free trade, and even lack of understanding. Yes, it is foolish to believe that the US or the Western world would have been better off economically without the rise of the Asian economies, and their integration in world trade. And yes, it is foolish to believe that the world economy is a zero sum game.

A unique piston based, two cycle, internal combustion engine using turbocompounding to recover exhaust heat and a hot air cycle to recover jacket heat. Three engines operate together and share components to make a mechanically simple device. Air and exhaust are the only working fluids. All working cycles are open. There are no external heat exchangers or pumps. Power can be taken from the engine as mechanical shaft power or electrical with the preferred method being electrical.

a parallel relationship exists between center lines of said cylinder pair and with
a single combustion chamber shared at the top of said cylinder pair when the cylinder axis is vertical and
a piston slideably deployed in each cylinder of said cylinder pair and
an insulating layer covering the combustion inside wall of the head of said combustion chamber and
an insulating layer covering the combustion contacting area of each piston and
a crankshaft deployed at the bottom of said vertically oriented cylinder pair, said crankshaft turning about an axis extending generally perpendicularly to a plane passing through the axis of at least one cylinder the piston of which is drivingly connected thereto, wherein the cylinder axis, if extended, would not intersect the crankshaft axis and said crankshaft and
having two throws for each cylinder pair with each piston rod combination connected to its own crankshaft throw.

providing an air pressurizer serving combustion air and a hot air cycle requirements
arranging a turbine wheel extracting energy from the exhaust stream and from the hot air engine effluent
positioning said combustion chamber such that it becomes a container for fuel combustion in addition to
becoming a heat exchange surface for transfer of jacket heat to cooling air and
freeing said combustion chamber from encumbrances and
insulating said combustion chamber wall such that the surface of said insulation operates at high temperature and by such provides good heat flow and high engine efficiency.
6. A method as in

In the never ending quest for a clean and efficient prime mover, one system, the Otto Cycle, has emerged absolute king. Yet it seems like the Otto cycle with an overall conversion efficiency less than 50% of Carnot efficiency would be an ideal candidate for replacement. With thousands of patents issued for alternative engines over the last 100 years, one would think that at least one of them would be valuable enough to have some of the market. However, at the present, there is no practical challenge to the Otto Cycle.
In applying the first law of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, to the Otto Cycle we find that approximately one third of input energy is converted to shaft power, one third of the input energy is expelled in the exhaust stream and one third of the input energy goes to heat various engine components. Obviously, since the reason for this engine is to produce shaft power, two thirds of the energy used is sinked to the environment without producing the desired product. The problem is further compounded since the Otto Cycle has one preferred point of efficient operation. At all other outputs the engine exhibits reduced efficiency. In automotive applications 90% of the time the engine is operating significantly off its point of maximum efficiency.
In reviewing the many prime mover options one thing becomes clear. No single cycle is capable of converting more than approximately one third of the input energy into mechanical power. However, historically there are examples of combined cycles that produced more than the approximate one third efficiency. One of these is the Cyclone aircraft engine that appeared shortly after the second world war. This engine which was proven in thousands of combat missions was fitted with turbines to recover shaft power from exhaust heat. The combination engine exhibited a most significant increase in power and efficiency. Approximately 30% of engine shaft output power was power recovered directly from exhaust heat. Airplanes with turbo compounding engines were popular for making the transatlantic hop since with the higher efficiency they could do so without refueling. However reliability was an issue. The planes commonly would arrive at destination with one or two engines feathered. In this case recovery turbines were directly geared to the output shaft. This conceptually simple process creates most difficult mechanical problems.
There have been many proposals for recovering power from jacket engine heat. Most of these are a Rankine cycle such as a steam engine which operates from jacket heat. Operating a separate thermal cycle to recover the so called jacket heat is well worth while if this can be done in a reasonable package. It is also concluded from the previous paragraph that turbocompounding is fruitful. Implementation of both turbocompounding and exhaust heat recovery would be ideal. This so called Double Compounding has received some attention. One of the more recent proposals is U.S. Pat. No. 7,062,915. Theoretically, both jacket heat and exhaust heat is recovered. This method has major drawbacks that prevent practical implementation. The Johnson U.S. Pat. No. 3,498,053 as further advanced by Hope, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,555,730, 5,673,560 and 5,673,560 is one of the better attempts at a practical engine. Air and exhaust are the only working fluids. But still, great complexity remains. The engine requires large number of parts, many of which operate at high temperature. In the latter citation the engine requires three crank shafts many turbine parts, heat exchangers, belts and mechanical gearing of the high RPM turbo shaft to the crank. It is doubtful that the double compounding would recover the power necessary to turn the ancillary equipment.
This present patent teaches a practical approach to a double compound internal combustion engine. A unique, piston based, two cycle expander combusts the fuel and carries out the first expansion. Exhaust and jacket heat so produced are operated on by two subsequent cycles to provide additional mechanical power. Three thermodynamic cycles operate together. However the components carrying out these three cycles are shared between the cycles making a mechanically simple device. There are no external heat exchangers. The only working fluids are air and exhaust. There are no valves, pumps, cam shafts, gears or belts.
This so disclosed engine depends heavily on electronic motor/generators. These are preferably the emerging switched or variable reluctance type. These motor/generators are capable of high RPM operation needed by turbo equipment. The electronic control provides variable ratio and the ability to use a single device as either a motor or a generator.
This disclosed engine also depends on refractory insulation of the upper cylinder and piston top. This insulation is more than a coating. The insulating refractory actually blocks significant heat flow. The inside refractory layer operates adiabatically by floating at the pressure weighted average combustion temperature. The high temperature layer of refractory reduces unwanted combustion gas heat exchange to the container while increasing the heat delivered to cooling air. Waste heat does not flow through metal parts to be removed. Cooling air is applied internally and hyperbarically. Less air is required but the air that is used is heated to higher temperature.
Two pistons share a common combustion chamber. There are no valves. The head can be one solid piece of refractory. It is essential that the pistons travel parallel to each other and each have their own crank shaft throw. The crank throws are separated by the angle needed to bring both pistons to TDC at the same time. The crank is centered between the two bores. Thus, when the engine is observed from the front end of the crank, one cylinder is offset to the right and the other cylinder is offset to the left. The offset provides essential phase differences in piston movement. It is common on these types of engine to have the piston pair share one crank throw. The second rod is attached to the first rod at a bearing or a flex point. Some times the second piston is attached at the end of a cantilevered beam. When this is the case the pistons arrive at TDC at different times. This can be tolerated in spark ignition engines but the engine will not develop enough compression to operate compression ignited.
The engine breathes through ports at the bottom of the bore. Combustion air is pressurized hence there is no need to use the crankcase to induce charge into the cylinder. The crankcase is quasi-sealed with its own lubricant. No lubricant is added to the fuel. The slower movement of the pistons in the lower part of their stroke works to advantage since the bottom of the stroke is where engine breathing and engine cooling takes place. More time is allowed for breathing to occur.
One of the cylinders contains the intake port and the other cylinder contains the exhaust ports. The higher exhaust port is the blow down port and is uncovered first. Blow down is channeled to the high pressure rotor of a two stage turbine. The lower exhaust port is channeled to the low pressure turbine wheel which is also the second stage for the high pressure wheel. The lower port receives most of the cooling air which is at blower pressure.
On the same shaft with the two stage power turbine is a air pressurizing turbine and a motor/generator. This three part turbo unit is the only accessory to the engine. However both turbocompounding and a hot air engine are running on the exhaust and cooling air. Both cycles are open. No heat exchangers are used.
This invention occurred in Indiana at a company called Indiana North. It is suggested that the engine be referred to as the IN engine and the thermodynamic cycle by which it operates be referred to as the IN cycle.
An engine 1 in
The pistons are operated by a conventional crankshaft 16 and connecting rods 20, 21 and lubricated by conventional lubricant stored in crankcase 15. What is not conventional is the location of the crankshaft. With the crankshaft rotating clockwise, the intake cylinder 18 is on the right and the exhaust cylinder 17 is on the left. The cylinders are identified by the port they contain. Each rod and associated piston has its own crank shaft throw 22, 23. The crank throws of an associated piston pair are separated by a small angle chosen such that the two pistons arrive at top dead center (TDC) at the same time.
A specialized recovery turbine 19, 24, compressor turbine 25 and generator/motor 35 is associated with said invention. All three components are on the same shaft and turn at the same speed. The recovery turbine is two section consisting of high pressure stage 24 and low pressure stage 19. Motor/generator 35 is of the switched reluctance type with associated electronic controller, not shone, that enables it to be a motor or generator as supervised by the electronic controller unit, also not shone. Turbine speed is determined by the electronic controller and is independent of crankshaft speed. This enables the controller to select the best turbine speed. At start up and low speed operation where the turbine does not provide sufficient power to meet air demand, the electric motor makes up the deficit. At times when excess shaft power is available the motor switches to generate power which is delivered to the battery or external load. The motor also can be used to help spool up the turbine for increased throttle response. Operation of this engine mandates a battery of an appropriate minimum capacity. In a hybrid application the battery would be the main drive battery.
Air turbine 25 provides pressurized air for combustion, hot air engine recovery cycle and in the case of an automobile application, comfort cooling. Combustion air and air for the hot air cycle is admitted through intake port 4. Comfort cooling uses pressurized air flowing through valve 26 and through convection cooler 27. The air is then expanded through orifice 28 into a small turbine 29 doing work. This work is changed to electrical energy by generator 30 with the resulting electrical power deposited in the battery or an external load. Cool air 31 flows to the passenger compartment. At times of high humidity, liquid water will condense in the cool stream. Such water is dropped out of the air stream in an absorbent section 32 of duct 31. Surge chamber 33 at outlet of the pressurizing turbine 25 allows steady air flow through the pressurizing turbine even though engine use is cyclic. The cylinderic shape of the surge chamber 33 with tangential introduction of air at 34 is an attempt to conserve at least some of the kinetic energy in the moving air stream.
As mention in the abstract, the preferred output of this engine is electricity. A switched reluctance motor/generator is flywheel mounted. When engine power is drawn as electrical power, the generator changes the shaft power of the piston expander to the required electrical power. The same switched reluctance device serves as the engine starter. When power output is desired as shaft power, other electrical power sources such as the turbo unit, air conditioning expander and external sources such as regenerative braking feed their power to the flywheel mounted switched reluctance motor/generator to be converted to shaft power. This takes one more conversion step hence results in slightly less efficiency.
A description of one working cycle follows:
Starting with both pistons at TDC, as illustrated in part a of
Because of need to reduce Nitrogen Oxides, fuel injection is spread over approximately 30 crank degrees. Combustion takes place under more or less a constant pressure condition. This is a departure from conventional engines that burn their fuel under a more or less constant volume condition. Constant pressure combustion lowers peak pressure and temperature. Significantly less Nitrogen Oxide is produced but exhaust temperatures are higher and efficiency suffers. But low primary expander efficiency is not a big concern in this case since other cycles follow that will recover the energy.
The pistons 2 and 3 continue down the bore as the charge burns. The first expansion of the hot gasses is accomplished. The pistons do not travel at the same rate. They are together at TDC and Bottom Dead Center (BDC) but those two points are the only points the pistons are together. When the pistons travel down the bore, both connecting rods are on the right side of the crank shaft center 16. The exhaust piston 2 leads the intake piston 3. The exhaust piston 2 uncovers exhaust port 5,
The piston pair continue down their respective cylinders uncovering intake port 4 and the remaining exhaust port 6,
Crank shaft rotation continues and pistons 2 and 3 reach BDC together. On the upstroke the exhaust piston leads the intake piston and as illustrated in
All crank operated slider piston engines exhibit higher piston velocity in the upper half of the piston stroke with corresponding lower piston velocity in the lower half stroke. In conventional engines with a rod ratio (rod length/stroke) of 1.6 and with the crank center on the bore center line, piston velocity peak in the upper half is four percent higher than in the lower half. The piston spends 45% of its time in the upper half of the bore and 55% of its time in the lower half. As the crank is offset from the bore center, velocity difference becomes significantly greater, around 30%. Piston offset with the corresponding velocity difference works to advantage in this disclosed engine. The compression and expansion stroke is carried out rapidly. The piston then moves slower when the ports are open and ventilation occurs.

Been wondering and haven't found a whole lot of good research but how much time is really need for conversion for a typical Mash....my Mash tun recently has really been dramatically dropping temps after 30 minutes going from 150 to 140 very quickly...but haven't notice any change in efficiency and final product has been great
What I want to know is there research on how much time you really need to convert at optimal temps?
"To alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems,"
I use an insulated keggle with a false bottom for reference
You can use iodine to tell if you have any starch left. Just collect a sample (a drop or 2) of your wort, put it on something like a white plate so you can see color changes and add a drop of iodine next to it. Use a toothpick to mix the two. If it turns blue, there is still starch. If the iodine stays reddish, there is no starch left.
Your enzymes work over a range of temperatures so you get conversion from alpha amylase and beta amylase as it cools. Starting at 150 would get you a pretty dry beer and as the temperature goes down, the beta amylase has more effect and will make the wort more fermentable. If you start at a higher temperature the wort will be less fermentable because beta amylase is denatured at the higher temperatures. Your efficiency won't change but the fermentability of the wort will.
I'd read that the enzymes work quickly but I couldn't find a definitive number of minutes or hours so I experimented by starting a batch with the intent of taking an immediate sample and then one every 5 minutes until I got no change in color with my iodine. I BIAB so my grains were ground fine. At mash in the sample turned dark blue, so there definitely was starch. I missed the 5 minute mark and grabbed the sample at 7 minutes. No change in color, so the enzymes reacted in less than 7 minutes.
With a coarser crush, you need to get the water to the center of the particles to get the conversion since the dry grain won't convert. That's where the 60 minute mash becomes necessary as you wait for the grains to get wet and leach the sugars back out.
I have heard people mention conversion times of as low as 15 to 20 minutes, but I always go with 60 just to be safe. At lower temps (e.g. 148-149) it can take longer.
I do BIAB and go 45 minutes for mash then turn up the heat for mash out. With my fine crush I think I could probably cut that time down to 30 min or less if I checked with iodine but I wonder how accurate the iodine test really is?
Havent tried iodine tests, but ive heard they only check for if conversion has started yet, but not the extent of how much conversion has actually taken place. So you potentially have an iodine test say conversion has started, but you could still have some unconverted starches in there. Any truth to this?
Iodine is testing for starch in suspension. It's doesn't tell you if you got all the starch out of the grains in the first place.
Kai Troester has the answers. That guy is great. For those averse to reading the data, 2 additional hours of mash time will earn you about 4% more attenuation in the beer. http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php...Fermentability

Married same man twice, should I divorce him again...
I met my husband in college and we married several years later. The relationship had problems from the start. When I met him he had a child and I was not ready for a family. We dated and then got engaged in the first year. I was afraid of the ready made family thing at 23 years old, so I broke up with him an moved to Seattle. He followed me there and we got married three years later. Since then we have had two children together. We divorced after the first child and then remarried again and have since had a second child. The problem is that I don't like my husband, I think I never have. I think I left him the first time because I didn't like him. But I still married him and had two kids. My kids love him and I don't want to break up the family. We have attempted counseling over the years and it has always failed. We argue all the time and I think it is just a matter of time before someone cheats. What is wrong with me? Why I have stayed in a relationship with a man I don't really like or love for years. We live like roommates. I pay 50% of the bills, run a home business while I take care of my two year old daughter and five year old son. I do the cooking and the cleaning. We have almost no real life together and rarely enjoy each others company. Again I ask what am I doing wrong? What is wrong with me?
What made you go back to him the second time? And, what makes you think you wouldn't go back to him again for that same reason?
I don't know what you are doing wrong, if anything. "What's wrong with me." Maybe nothing; do you hate to be alone and always need a man in your life? Maybe you're with him because you just need someone/anyone. Maybe it really is the kid factor.
Have you tried some alone time/date nights with him? I would guess it's very hard to spend quality time alone or be overly romantic with two little kids around.
Love feelings can come and go, but the fact that you don't even like him says a lot. Why don't you like him? Is it something he's doing or something he's not doing?
It might have more to do with your husband's, uh, neediness?, devotion?, obsession?, than with something being wrong with you.
You dated in college, got engaged, *broke up*.
One thought that occurs is that, since he "followed" you, you equated it with true love.
so you got married.
didn't work, so you *divorced*.
but he was still around, & after all he was your child's father, so you re-married, & now you have another child.
& now you're thinking about *divorce*.
Maybe you're together now because he's persistent & you (like so many of us) find it hard to say no.
Maybe you need some time alone, maybe some counselling alone, to see your own direction more clearly.
I wish you the best.

5 Canadians and an Englishman from Pickering
Nudged by a post last September about Pickering Nursery listing many of their roses as "Final Season," I placed an order for some hardy roses I've been coveting for quite a while. Normally I would ask for shipment at the end of April as that is the earliest I can confidently dig in frost-free soil here in Northern Michigan but for this order I decided to chance it and request early spring (actually late winter) figuring I would have to store the roses in the root cellar an extra month or possibly pot them up and hold them in the basement. But that seemed better that than losing out on the last chance of getting these from Pickering. I feared they might be out of (any of) the roses by the time they got around to pulling my tail-end-of-the-season order, or I hoped not to end up with the dregs which has happened before. Well, what do you know? It actually worked out for my March 13th shipment (which arrived today.) I'll be planting tomorrow in 70 degree weather in ground that is completely without snow or frost. Since our huge snowstorm on the 2nd, we have been having unbelievable weather up here! All that snow melted away in days and it feels like late April, not the end of winter. I never dreamed when I ordered that we would have such an incredibly early spring. And good thing I can plant right away because I peeked in the bag and the roses appear to have broken dormancy in the warmth of their trip across the border.
For those interested in what I received, here is the list:
The Canadian-bred roses: Eddie's Crimson, Dr.F.L.Skinner, Red Dawn, Prairie Dawn and Suzanne. And the lone gentleman of English origin being Williams Double Yellow.
Dr.F.L.Skinner ended up being a lesser grade rose (which Pickering discounted) but he was the only one so I feel lucky. The rest look very nice.
I am really looking forward to playing in the dirt tomorrow!
Good selection Annececilia and I am so glad you managed to get them as I thought you had been too late. We too are having a bizarre springerized winter that I have not experienced in 10 years ... snow is about gone over Calgary and I been wearing my cool spring coat.
I am really can not fathom why Pickering offered the Canadians for one and only one year and then says final season in the first year (WTH?????). I remember being really excited about Dr. F. L. Skinner and Red Dawn which I made sure I got in the fall along with eddie's crimson and suzanne (first time in 12 years I did a fall plant).
In addition they discontinued due to poor demand a lot of roses I had good luck with with protection so I decided this year to essentially buy only the "last season ones" even though I had blasted out most of my "out of zone" roses. I could not turn down getting their last 2 Prince Napoleon's that I rate up there with Louise Odier, and Mrs Baker that has one of the most attractive colors (got 3 of them) and I continued to disbelieve it is an HP and I am still convinced it is a portland ... though because of this site I learned 8 years ago it is one of the "portland HP's". And a new one to Pickering of a couple of years called Agatha Incarnata ... good cane hardiness up here for a gallica, but not 100%, blooms sloppy but I do not care.
Here what was confirmed ...
Rosa paulii rosea
Rosa sancta
Soupert et Notting
Williams Double Yellow
Marguerite Hilling
Eddies Crimson
Agathe Incarnata (Blush Belgic)
St. Nicholas
Rose of Castile
Panach�e de Lyon
Province Panach�e
Prince Napol�on
Pompon Blanc Parfait
Prairie Dawn
Sharifa asma��
Queen Nefertiti�
Red Dawn
Mme Boll
Mrs. Baker
Victor Borge
Bonita Renaissance
Rosa forrestiana
There are some still in the trade ones I also got but I do not include them.
Yes, bulbs are sprouting up all over the garden and there is bud-break on the quince and the lilacs already, too. I got two of my new roses planted yesterday (Red Dawn and Dr. F.L.Skinner,) slowed down by having to adjust the placement of a Buck rose and Morden Blush first, and then I decided to make room for another new rose by removing a 3 yr old William Baffin sucker and transplanting it to a more suitable location. That particular battle almost did me in!
On today's docket: planting the other 4. I'm having a hard time deciding on a location for Williams Double Yellow, having read that the bloom time is so very short. I'll have to do some more wandering and pondering (what comes with ordering roses with no plan of where they're to go!)

ScubaSteve's build was definitely an inspiration: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/sing...rewery-158608/ Mine is basically going to be the bastardized mini-version of his that won't look as good.
My brew process is going to be basically the same. I've ordered a 36 quart stainless steel stockpot w/steamer basket. I'm going to line the steamer basket with SS mesh and use this as my first all-grain setup.
At the bottom of the pot I'm going to have two 1500W Extra low density heating elements running off of two separate 120V/20A breakers in my kitchen (I live in an apartment). Also at the bottom will be the SS dip tube and temperature probe.
I've ordered the BCS-460 to control my heating elements and pump. I picked it over the brewtroller because of the better integration with the internet.
Since I want to brew very small... ~1.5 gallon batches... there's an issue with the deadspace at the bottom. The pot diameter is 13.5" which means that every inch takes 2.5 quarts. I'm going to put something in the bottom (don't know what yet, open to suggestions) that will displace enough water, so more of it overlaps the basket.
What else... the control box. Not sure what I'm going to do with this yet. I did like the toolbox version done here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/simp...-build-147021/ So, I may give that a shot. The march pump won't be in the box. One of the 120V connections is going to power one of the heating elements, while the other is going to power the second heating element, march pump and bcs-460. When I do the micro-batches I might not need both elements. I'm going to have covered toggle switches for both heating elements that can cut the power (overriding the BCS). The outlets in my kitchen aren't GFCI, so I'll have that inside the box too. I will also have 3+ SSRs (one for each heating element and one for the march pump, and for the solenoid valves if I get those).Question: Is that how most people (in the automated setups) control their march-pump (100% on or off)... or is there a better solution to provide variable power, using the BCS?Question: When recirculating, how do I get all the fluid back into the kettle? The march pump won't be able to push it out once it gets past the pump, correct?
I'm going to have a CFC to cool down the wort (I really liked ScubaSteve's all copper one, so I might look into making one of those too).
It's not going to have a permanent stand... though I do have a kitchen cart that I will be using most of the time.
Equipment list:
+1 reserved
Pictures will be stored on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martz/s...7624363961825/
I'll post some good ones in these first two posts, nothing yet though... just equipment.
+2 reserved
I would highly suggest you use the 1500W ultra low density elements from plumbing supply. They are a bit more expensive, but you will no doubt have grist in the bottom and you will blow the 2000W high density ones. I have blown 3 of the high density ones in my rigs (a CB20 and a single vessel BIAB with internal chiller for small batches). 3000w is more than enough to boil 1-7 gallons of wort and still get a 1g/hr boiloff rate.
Before you build, you may want to consider building a rims tube with your toolbox.
You already noted your biggest problem, deadspace. The elements can only be mounted so low.
You will need to connect your elements on separate circuits. I use two elements and simply plug one into my PID and the other one into another circuit. I only need the second one for full boil so it doesn't need to be controlled.
You are going to have temp loss during your mash so a rims tube would allow you to maintain perfect temp during your mash without direct heat. If you build a portable one, integrated into your toolbox (there is a build on here somewhere that was pretty slick), it would also allow you to integrate it into a modular build later in life. It would probably be a good investment.
An idea for your deadloss problem is to use a voile curtain and line it in your brewpot, drop in the grain, and use the rims tube to recirculate during your mash. Once the mash is done, just lift out the curtain with the grain. You only need to make sure the curtain doesn't affect your pickup tube.
Good on ya! I'm really excited to see what you come up with. A couple tiny pearls of wisdom I have gained from building said system that isn't even finished yet:
1. If you can, make it so you can swap in a bigger vessel. You're using some expensive gear (bcs-460, etc.) so you might as well be able to use it with multiple systems.
2. Try "tack" soldering the screen in the basket with a soldering iron. I used epoxy and I think it's less aesthetic. I tried a propane torch and it overheated the screen, but an iron should work nicely.
3. PM Sent
I'll look at adding in a rims tube later once I get an idea of how well this works (and once my wallet recovers a little bit). The voile curtain is a good idea. I was also thinking that I could make a custom mesh basket that goes around the heating elements, dip tube and sensor. That's something I'll experiment with.
Yeah, I was thinking about that. It'd be great to re-use stuff if I ever decide to do larger batches. I'll leave room in my control box to add in 240V stuff for when I buy a house (not anytime soon) that way I'll just need a new heating element/kettle and can reuse most everything else. Thanks for the tip on the iron... yet another thing I'll have to buy Are you still going to be using loc-line?
Thanks for the help!
I really like the loc-line, but I'm thinking about using a single silicon hose with camlocks that can be quickly swapped between my RIMS, Sparge, CFC output, or submersible pump for CIP.
I ordered some loc-line. I'm going to try and use it to assist with a lot of things... could possibly do whirlpooling with it, clean in place, etc. I think it'll be pretty useful.
I also ordered some SS mesh and some SS wire. I'm going to try to stitch a basket together that can fill more of the kettle while avoiding the heating elements/tubes/etc. I'll experiment with a tiny bit of the mesh first to see if stitching will work. I'll also try and tack it with a soldering iron... and if all else fails... JBWeld into the steamer basket.

Headlight Restoration Kit - G1900
"I recently purchased the Headlight Restoration Kit, and all I can say is
WOW. I own a 1998 Mustang
GT. It's my daily driver. Here in Wisconsin, cars take a beating. The
headlights were in really bad shape. I tried another product that I found
in a hardware store and it didn't do much. I was contemplating buying new
headlight kits. I saw your ad in Autoweek, and watched the demo on your
website. I thought I'd give it a try. I am very pleased with the result.
The money I spent and the half hour of my time was worth it. I'll be
looking for some of your other products to help bring back the exterior
finish. If you have suggestions, I'm listening."
J.K. -- Sheboygan, WI
"I used your Headlight Restoration Kit and it worked really well. I had a
lot of build-up on my headlights and I am definitely impressed with how
well it worked. I had tried other products that hadn't worked and am
definitely impressed with yours. Thank you!"

DIY: Headlight Restoration using Clear Coat
Video tutorial on how to refinished hazy/foggy plastic headlights by
applying clear coat. This is intended to be a long term method compared to
the other two methods which I have done in the past that was the wet
sanding/polishing method and the method using strictly toothpaste. The
headlights do not need to be removed from the vehicle or disassembled as I
have shown the in the vehicle. Removing the headlights from the vehicle
does help to eliminate the chance of any over spray from the clear coat or
adhesion promoter landing on the paint which would need to be cleaned
afterwards. This particular video was done on a 1997 BMW 540i E39 body

Headlight polishing with toothpaste:
Headlight polishing by wet sanding:
Tools/Supplies Needed:
-800 grit wet/dry sandpaper (if your headlights are severe)
-1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
-bucket of soapy water
-isopropyl/rubbing alcohol
-clean lint free cloth
-adhesion promoter
-lacquer/clear coat
-if you decided to remove your headlights, start with that step first
(headlight removal varies between makes/models of vehicles)
-wash the headlights thoroughly to ensure no contaminants will get into the
wet sanding process
-tape off around the perimeter of the headlight lens or vehicles paint to
protect it (optional)
-ensure the lens is always well lubricated during the wet sanding process
using the soap water
-if your headlights are severely hazy/foggy, wet sand starting with 800
grit and finish with 1000 grit
-if headlights are mildly hazy/foggy, start and finish wet sanding with
1000 grit sand paper
-once satisfied, wash the headlight again to ensure there are no
contaminants which would affect the lacquer/clear coat
-once headlight is dry, wipe it down with isopropyl/rubbing alcohol
-tape off the areas you do not want any lacquer/clear coat on
-wipe headlight lens down again with isopropyl/rubbing alcohol, do not
touch the lens with your hands (oil from your skin can cause imperfections
when apply the lacquer/clear coat)
-use the adhesion promoter to ensure there will be maximum adhesion when
applying the lacquer/clear coat
-once adhesion promoter has setup, then go ahead and apply the
lacquer/clear coat

Chemical Guys Tech Talk shows you the professional way to restore plastic
headlights back to the original crystal clear appearance. Chemical Guys
will show you how to wet sand the headlights and prepare for the polishing
process. Wet Sanding is performed with Chemical Guys Sanding block and
extra fine sand paper.
Next, the headlights are polished using V34, V36, and V38 optical polishes
using the orange, green, and black Hexlogic polishing pads. The Flex PE-14
Rotary Polisher teamed with the Evolve 4R mini backing plate has the
polishing power to remove the sanding scratches and restore the crystal
clear appearance to the headlight.
To protect the headlight from feature fading from sun damage, we use a coat
of JetSeal which is formulated specifically to protect the headlight
against harmful UV Rays.
Keep your car or truck looking great with Chemical Guys!!!
