On March 30, 1945, a little boy, the first of four children, was born to Per Arthur and Gladys Bergstrom. They lived in New Westminster, British Columbia. Later, three sisters arrived - Gail Ritz, Brenda Jacobson and the youngest, Ardelle Thomas.
Les grew up in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan , and spent many hours running trap lines for fur trading and hunting with his dad. He attended Canadian Union College in Alberta, Canada and then Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan where he doubled majored in Biology and Chemistry.
It was during his time at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, that he met his future bride, Judy. She saw him in the cafeteria with his roommate, a mutual friend. Later, she asked the friend who he was. Disappointed, she was told he already had a girlfriend that he was planning to marry. However, after Christmas break, the friend returned to announce Les was available if Judy was still interested. Two years later, they married on June 4, 1967. They recently celebrated their forty-fifth wedding anniversary.
Les had been planning to attend medical school but a conversation with his father led him to change his mind and pursue dentistry instead. Les and Judy moved to Loma Linda, California where he enrolled in the Loma Linda School of Dentistry. This is where they met many of their lifelong friends and in their spare time began their lifelong side career of remodeling houses
Before graduating in 1972, they celebrated the birth of their daughter, Heather Lynn in 1972. And 21 months, later, a baby boy, Ryan Todd was born in Ontario, Canada.
Les and Judy spent a short time in Saskatoon before moving to Wyoming, Ontario. They started a dental practice in a town with a population of 1700 people. Purchasing and remodeling homes became a way of life in the Bergstrom household. In the 45 years of marriage, they have renovated 9 homes. Judy would dream it up and Les would respond with, "it can't be done," but somehow he always figured out how to successfully recreate her vision.
In 1983, Les and Judy answered a call that would find them living in Malawi, Africa as missionary dentists from 1983-1987. His quality dentistry brought even the president of Malawi to his care.
Soon, it was time to return and this time the destination was Lebanon, Tennessee. Judy had several family members in the area, including her mom and dad, Donna and Charles Haynie.
"Doc", as he is known at his office, was well-loved by his staff and his patients. He was described by many as gentle, caring, and attentive to details.
His attention to details was also put into practice with his passion for antique car restoration. He was a perfectionist and would bondo, sand and paint a car over and over until it was just righ after hours of looking for the exact original parts. At the time of his death, he had ten antique cars in various stages of restoration.
Some of these include: 1922 Buick Roadster ; 1927 Model T Coupe; 1931 Model A
If Les was not puttering around in his garage listening to Lyle Lovett, he might be found down at the lake fishing. Whether he was fishing by himself or taking one of his grandkids, he loved his time by the water. His son, Ryan and he enjoyed several fly fishing trips to British Columbia. They would meet up with Les' uncle, brothers-in-law and cousins. Those weekends were full of fishing and talking.
He is a very proud grandfather of 8 children and if you visited the office, you would always hear about their escapades.
The visitation will be held at Spring Hill Funeral Home in Madison on July 13 from 5-7 p.m. Services will be held at Madison Campus Seventh-day Adventist Church at 3 p.m. with a graveside service to follow at the Spring Hill Cemetery.
The family wishes to thank all those that have sent cards to Les since the time of his diagnosis. Hardly a day passed without a card in the mail for him and he looked forward to those with joy. We also would like to thank you for the love, support, care and prayer during this time.
Spring Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery in charge of arrangements.

Tankless water heater vs. electrical water heater?
I'm considering replacing my 55 gallon electric water heater. Though I won't do this myself but wanted to know what kind of savings I would see vs. going the conventional water heater style?
I've heard that using a "electric" tankless water heater was not as efficient as a conventional water heater but rather a gas tankless was the way to save. I don't have a choice as my area doesn't have gas. Now this was something I heard so I cannot confirm whether its true.
If someone has some information about this subject I'd love to hear about it.
I can't reply on an electric tankless, though I would imagine there could be a savings since the htr only heats water as it passes through it, where as a tank will cycle on & off all day just keeping water heated, in case someone needs it. I know the gas versions use less gas and save money. But either way because of the initial cost, it's a few years down the road before you 'break even'.
With electric tankless water heaters you have to take into account the installation cost. You will need at least 2 - 40 amp circuits installed for a whole house system. The last one I looked at required 3 - 40 amp circuits. Homeowners that do not have at least a 200 amp service panel will require the upgrade to 200 amp in most cases, or the addition of a sub panel.. These TWH's are power hogs to say the least. It is true that they only use power when hot water is needed, but if you look at the WHOLE picture, you will most likely never recoup the investment.
I did some research on TWH's and have decided I will never install one in my house. But I would install one in your house.
I do like the idea of using TWH's for point of service use. Like a small one under the kitchen sink for the sink and dishwasher. But not for the whole house.
39 Attachment(s)
would it be worth it on a new house?
There is also always special circumstances, like my dads office that has a shower, no one ever showers there, so it might be a waste to have a full hot water heater hot all the time. Or it would also be nice if you had a whole family that wanted to shower in the morning and not run out of water
But like me, if i had to replace mine, i might consider tankless, because i wouldn't be paying labor, and i get materials at a discount and some material free. Would i come out ahead over just replacing a conventional water heater?
If you are changing from standard to tankless, you have a good bit of electrical work to do. So if you can do it yourself and get good pricing, go for it.
My point is the way the TWH's are marketed. They tell you about the savings and how it only comes on when needed. They don't tell you how much goes into the install.
Your dads office would IMO be a good candidate for the tankless. So would a small one for the kitchen or maybe a bathroom far away from the tank. You do not get hot water any faster with tankless, unless you install it at the point of use.
I can pick up a Rennai brand, I think it will provide hot water to 4 showers simultaneously for around $400. I have and easy run (electrical) to my fuse panel, which I could run the electrical and then have the installer finish the work.
Now, having said that, I think it might be easier for you. You are replacing an existing electrical hot water heater, so you already have what, a 30 amp/240V circuit going to the location? Chances are you might be able to get a 2 chamber HWOD unit that might require two 30 amp/240V circuits. In that case, you could get by with the addition of just one more 30 amp circuit to you existing service panel, as long as your calculations of your usage patterns reveals that you won't be taxing your current service beyond it's limits.
OK, you say you want to use a heater that takes two 40 amp circuits, but you also say you have easy access for running the wires, if so I suspect you could easily run yourself two 8 gauge wires, which I understand will carry 40 amp loads......the hardest part of replacing my old tank-type heater was changing over from natural gas to electrical, you may already have the infrastructure to power one of the mid-size units, but it will depend on the nature of the use you anticipate. For me it was easy, I spend only about 60 days per year at the vacation house, and when I shower I can arrange for everything else in the house to be powered down if need be (however, some of my motivation for switching from 100 amp service to 200 amp service was to avoid just that sort of necessity).
I mention this to illustrate that the plumbing part of installing the HWOD unit was the least of the problems, I just hung the HWOD unit near where the old gas-fired water heater stood and hooked the HWOD unit to the current cold water supply and hot water out pipes with 3/4" X 3/4" flexible copper supply lines and it was a done deal--no leaks, no worries, no need for a plumber at all.......
Having made the switch from natural gas to electrical did, however, allow me to disconnect from the natural gas company's distribution network. I may spend another $20 or so per month on electricity, but I did manage to ditch a minimum $40/month natural gas bill. And, to make it even better, the local poco will now offer me a reduction of about 40% on my electrical service b/c I am now "...all electric".
It will take a long time before I could ever recoup the $2,500, that's true, if I could ever do so at all, but your case might not represent as significant a retrofit as mine did, at least get some people to come to your house and give you some estimates or advice. This might be a DIY project, if mine was, this most assuredly is!!
Dugly :cool:
Thanks for the information.
I just looked at my breaker panel and my current 55gallon electric water heater is using 2 - 30 amp breakers.
Now another thing is that my idea was that using/getting a tankless water heater was going to save us money some money. I know one problem that we have is that in the master bathroom it takes about 1 minute of running water for the shower to get warm/hot. That is definitely wasting a lot of water even though it's just my wife and I using it. I mean we are probably wasting about 7 gallons of water every shower just to get it warm enough to shower. I think the reason is that our master bathroom is so far away from out water heater.
I don't know if a tankless is out best option. I like the idea of having one because they seem to save water, and I would gain some space in my garage.
Heat losses from the regular HW tank help with the heat load in the winter.
In summer, of course this heat loss must be removed by the air conditioner. Our cooling season is only about 2 months long, whereas we heat for six months.
The big advantage of tankless would be less water wastage. Our water is metered and we pay a sewer surcharge based on water consumption.
Perhaps on new construction or a major upgrade it could be justified, but not to replace an existing system. There would be no payback!
We live in Florida and we pay the same way, with water metered and pay a sewer surcharge based on water consumption also.
Other than that, the other units I notice in the same amperage range use one, single double pole 240V breaker, most of them using a 50 or 60 amp breaker. Since you have adequate space to string new wiring from the breaker panel, you might (again, remember, it all depends on your load usage calculations) be able to replace those two 30 amp circuits your current 55 gallon heater uses with one 60 amp circuit and new heavier gauge wiring and power something like this:
or even this:
As for the water waste, I did notice that it seemed to take longer for the water to get hot at the shower, but it might be that I just don't recall how long it took with the old gas-fired tanked heater--it was 4 years ago!! What I did was to order a special constant pressure/low flow shower head from the source I used for the HWOD unit. My HWOD unit requires a flow rate of 0.53 gallons per minute to activate, the shower head maintains the flow rate at 1.5 gallons per minute, and before I even pull that faucet on the shower I rotate it to provide pure hot water. I did also insulate the hot water pipes, seems to take only about 20 seconds now at 1.5 gpm, that's a loss of 0.5 gallons before it is up to full temperature. I usually stick a bucket under the tub faucet while I'm waiting for it to heat up and use the water for plants or rinse water at the kitchen sink (water is quite scarce where this vacation home is located, extreme SW KS, so I attempt to make use of almost all "waste water" in a creative manner).
Dugly :cool:
The smaller units that don't require much power may not be big enough for your application. These things have a tendency to cause a real annoying light flicker. The power company may need to install a larger transformer and secondary conductors as well.

1637 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R2V, Canada
Inkster HouseBleak HouseBleak House CentreMaison Bleak
1873/01/01 to 1875/12/31
Inkster House (Bleak House), built in 1873-75, is a 2 1/2-storey log dwelling in a residential area of north Winnipeg. The City of Winnipeg designation applies to the building on its footprint.
Inkster House (Bleak House) is an important dwelling built by a member of a prominent Red River Settlement family whose history parallels the colony's transition into the City of Winnipeg. It was on John Inkster's Seven Oaks estate that his son Colin erected the dwelling in a manner similar to the family's nearby 1851-53 home - Georgian in style and constructed of logs with an overlay of siding. A rear extension and front verandah were added in the early 1900s, while numerous outbuildings, including a quaint summer house, filled the surrounding farm lot. Best known as the High Sheriff of Manitoba for some 51 years, Colin Inkster also gained distinction as a progressive crop and livestock producer, provincial politician and warden of St. John's Cathedral. His home, known as Bleak House after a Charles Dickens novel, eventually was enveloped by urban development but remained occupied by his descendants until 1973. The extensively restored structure is now a recreation centre for seniors and, together with John Inkster's house nearby (Seven Oaks Museum), forms a rare intergenerational link to Winnipeg's settlement period, its river lot system of land distribution and one of its influential early families.
Source: City of Winnipeg Committee on Environment Minute, September 22, 1980
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Inkster House (Bleak House) site include:
- the building's park-like location in a quiet residential area of north Winnipeg, set back from Main Street on a well-treed lot with a summer house to the west, etc.
Key elements that define the dwelling's exterior character and Georgian architecture include:
- the L-shaped massing, 2 1/2 storeys high, with a cross-gable roof, complemented by one-storey gable and shed-roofed rectangular volumes
- the construction of horizontally laid log walls sheathed in milled horizontal siding atop a limestone foundation
- the double-hung windows throughout, most featuring six-over-six-pane sashes and simple pedimented wood surrounds and mullions painted to contrast with the siding
- the one-storey front verandah with a centred entrance, plank wood floors and ceilings, an enclosed rear (eastern) section marked by a gable end with fish-scale detailing and large windows inset with cubes of coloured glass, etc.
- the details, including the simple, classically ornamented front entrance with sidelights, intact brick chimneys, etc.
Key elements that define the house's interior layout, finishes and details include:
- the formal side-hall plan with the main floor arranged into a series of common rooms and the second floor holding more private rooms
- the front entrance hall featuring a basic staircase with a graceful wooden balustrade and an arched doorway leading to the parlour
- the upper-level alcove separated from the bedrooms by a large archway
- the unassuming details, including intact wooden mouldings, trim and doors throughout, some with original hardware; coved ceilings upstairs; built-in wooden closets; an elaborate carved wood and brick fireplace; etc.

This problem has been bothering me too. I don't use my tablet for wifi often and have found it drops the connection on sleep, hibernate etc. After a lot of hunting I found this is down to the automatic power saving settings on the network adapter. The issue is not simply a lack of power but an exchange of control commands with the router: some routers can complete the exchange and some can't which explains why wifi works on some routers and not others. What's happening is the router is supposed to spot 'idle' wifi use and 'agree' to the reduced power state on the tablet- and when the tablet demands a higher power draw the router is supposed to respond. Not all routers have this function...hence the drop outs.
A fix for this is to tweak the power saving settings for the network adapter but the Windows 10 install on the Linx1010 has limited controls ( you can't set a power profile for 'maximum performance' for instance).
From the Windows 10 forums You need to be registered to view this link, please log-in or register I found the missing setting can be restored by a registry setting (type 'regedit' in the start area to open the registry*):There are a couple of registry hacks you can try.

This enabled the settings in Windows Power Options (right click on windows start select power options ) for 'maximum power' to be applied and this means the network adapter powerstate message is not sent to the router.
As well a giving control via the Power Options panel the registry edit opens power managenment settings for the adapter in device manager (I unchecked 'Allow the computer to turn off this device')
This will reduce battery life but will allow the browser session to be hibernated and awoken sucessfully without a conflict with the router.

Marine mammals' health as an indicator of ecosystem health - tools for monitoring

- 3 Technique for measurement of lymphocyte proliferation
- 4 Technique for the analysis of acute phase proteins

Marine mammals serve as indicators of ecosystem change (Trilateral Monitoring and Assessment Program, TMAP, Fig. 1). They are top predators in the marine food web. Increasing commercial use, e.g. fisheries and offshore wind parks, as well as the inputs of pollutants, influence the North and Baltic Sea ecosystems, including native marine mammals such as harbour porpoises, harbour seals and grey seals. Thus, the aim is to establish effect-monitoring tools for early diagnosis of the health status of marine mammals.
Blood samples of captive and wild living animals are the study objects (Fig. 2). Selected parameters which play a central role in controlling disease processes are determined. The following immune system parameters were selected: the lymphocyte proliferation as important immune cell function, the expression of cytokines released by immune cells, which are regulators of an immune reaction, as well as cytokine-induced acute phase proteins (APPs) for the early diagnosis of inflammation and stress. The combined investigation of these parameters allows a statement about the immune status of the animals and the impact of pollutants.
Technique for measurement of lymphocyte proliferation
Lymphocytes were isolated from the blood sample and cultured with and without stimulation using a lymphocyte transformation test (LTT, Fig. 2). After incubation transformation and proliferation were examined and a stimulation index calculated. Technique for quantification of cytokine *expression Cytokine expression is measured quantitatively by analysing mRNA amounts with the real time reverse trans- criptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR, Fig. 2). Detecting the amount of the mRNA allows us to calculate ratios between cytokines and thus establish the main focus of the immune response. Investigations of the cytokine expression pattern (Interleukin-1, -2, -4, -6, -10, -12, TNF, TGFß) allow the status of the immune reaction to be differentiated, whether the emphasis is on the cellular or humoral (body liquid) immune response.
Technique for the analysis of acute phase proteins
The acute phase proteins of harbour seals are characterised quantitatively and qualitatively to find relevant biochemical indicators for their health status. After their isolation, the structures of selected proteins are elucidated with mass spectrometric techniques. Bio-analytical procedures will be established to determine disease-*related structural variations, i.e. in the pattern of glyco- sylation. Based on the findings, specific bio-assays will be developed for monitoring the health status of marine mammals.
Metal pollution – influence on immune system
Pollution with metals may affect the immuno-competence of free-ranging populations of marine mammals in many areas of the industrialised world. An imbalance of the immune system caused by pollutants has been suggested to play a role in the incidence of infectious diseases in marine mammals (Jepson et al., 1999[1]; Siebert et al., 1999[2]; Bennett et al., 2001[3]). Metals influence the function of immuno-competent cells by a variety of mechanisms. Depending on the particular metal, its speciation, concentration and bioavailability, and a number of other factors, a continuous metal exposure will result in immuno-suppression or immuno-stimulating effects (Fig. 5).
- Metal hypersensitivities in seals
The chronic intake of metal pollutants makes marine mammals susceptible to developing hypersensitivity reactions (Fig. 5). Metal-specific hypersensitivity reactions were found in different pinnipeds from the North Sea (Kakuschke, 2006[4]). The frequency of sensitising metals was in the order Mo > Ni >Ti > Cr, Al > Pb, Be, Sn. A relationship between the blood levels of metals to metalspecific hypersensitivity reactions was reported (Kakuschke et al., 2005[5]). A relationship between lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine expression could be shown: in a study of a grey seal, a hypersensitivity reaction to Ni and Be has been correlated to alterations in the cytokine pattern (Kakuschke et al., 2006[6]).
- High susceptibility of the immune system to the toxic effect of pollutants in pups
Pups are exposed to metals due to the transplacental transfer mother/fetus, the transfer through the milk and later by contaminated prey. In addition to immuno-enhancement, metals can induce immuno-suppression (Fig. 5). Kakuschke et al. (2007[7]) found that lymphocytes of seal pups are particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of metals in the newborn period and that this susceptibility decreases subsequently (Fig. 3).
Stress – influence on the immune system
The cytokine expression can be modulated by numerous factors, including stress. Fonfara et al. (2007[8]) compared cytokine mRNA expression from harbour porpoises exposed to different environments. Blood samples were taken from two healthy porpoises living in captivity at the Fjord and Belt Centre Kerteminde, Denmark, and from four wild porpoises accidentally caught in Danish waters. The results are suggestive of stress-induced modulation of the immune responses in the accidentally caught animals.
Anthropogenic influences lead to changes of the health status of the animals. A set of reliable medical parameters enables us to investigate routinely a higher number of animals and to obtain information at population level. This information is part of the assessment of the status of the ecosystem as required by the TMAP.

Thank You Adam Wainwright0

Naw I'm just kidding you I have the same reaction as many others in praising the Silent Assassin for the use of his Jedi Mind Tricks towards the betterment of this team (Although if you are looking for some more laughs click this link –> TSN Colby Rasmus Trade Analysis and read the Jays bashing in the comments from all the hockey fans who didn't even know Colby before the trade).
Even though Anthopolous went to great lengths to acquire us our future center fielder, I think who us Jays fans really need to thank is a certain Adam Wainwright for giving us the chance to acquire such a talented young player
But no luckily for us with the whole Albert Pujols contract situation, the Cards are going all in this year, that means doing whatever necessary to get that pennant (Even if they are far away from the Giants, Phillies, and Braves).
Blue Jays Mid-Season Milestones0
|Photo by Keith Allison licensed under Creative Commons
This came after Bautista was snubbed from the mid summer classic in 2010, despite leading the league in home runs with 24 dingers before the break. Though to be fair at the time Jose was hitting only .237 and as we all know it wasn't like Jose Bautista was a household name. This year the Blue Jays definitely made sure that the reigning home run leader would not again be snubbed and as we have seen their massive campaigning not only got Jose to the game, but they have made Jose Bautista a household name across Canada and the United States.
Another big event this week was Jose's passing of George Bell's Blue Jays team record 29 home runs before the break, which Jose beat out with 2 home runs in the final game before the break to reach a total of 31 home runs. This puts him on pace for 62 on the season, which if he does hit 60 would be the first time in 10 years. The last time that milestone was reached was back in 2001 when Barry Bonds beat out Mark McGwire's single season home run record..
All of what Jose Bautista is doing is great for Blue Jays baseball today as they're bringing fans back to the Rogers Centre and getting the Jays more known across the league, but what I feel really matters is the how well the Jays farm system is doing and the team that it will make us in the future. There is no better examples of this than the fact that there was 3 of the Jays top prospects included on Baseball America's annual Mid-Season Top 50 Prospects list with Gose at #45, d'Arnaud at #29, and Lawrie at #10.
Lawrie who we know was acquired this offseason from the Brewers for starting pitcher Shaun Marcum was ranked 30 spots higher than the pre-season list. With the way that Marcum has performed this season it makes us Jays fans feel a little better to see Lawrie perform the way he did and make it this high on Baseball America's propsect list. It will be even better to finally see Lawrie in the majors now that he is almost done recovering from his hand injury.
Regarding Gose it is nice to see that Baseball America realizes this guy's potential. He was already known to have 3 super tools with his speed, arm, and fielding and none of those tools seem to have regressed at AA New Hampshire. Though it seems like in New Hampshire Gose has added some power with 9 home runs half way through the season and an ISO that has improved 34 points over his 2010 numbers.
It seems like the only problem that people have with Gose is that he hits for a lower average than most leadoff hitters with his .264 mark. But when you look at the stats you see that right now the mean batting average for leadoff hitters in the MLB is .266, but the mean on base percentage for leadoff hitters in the MLB is .330 and Gose's OBP is 28 points higher at .358. A number that would rank sixth among MLB leadoff hitters. Finally considering that Gose's BAs and OBPs have remained very consistent throughout his minor league career their is no reason to believe that either of those numbers will regress to much in the majors. Which means that with his speed and power he could very well make an all-star leadoff hitter.
Finally with d'Arnaud it is nice to see him bounce back to a .300 batting average after having hit about .255 the past two years between A and high A. It is further looking like he will become the Jays catcher of the future. He may not have Arencibia power, but his power isn't bad, he can hit for a .300 average, and he has plus defensive skills. If Arencibia doesn't raise his average soon, then d'Arnaud may very well take his spot within the next season.
This just about wraps it up for the first half of the season. We end off seeing a struggling major league team with many holes in its lineup, but we see a thriving farm system with strengths in both pitching and hitting. Because of this we are seeing an increasing trend of americans recognizing the single Canadian team. Recognizing how good we are and how good we are going to be with big name prospects such as Lawrie, d'Arnaud, and Gose soon to make an impact on the big league roster.
Blue Jays Biggest Trade Chip?0
|Photo by Keith Allison licensed under Creative Commons
The reason I clump Francisco and Frasor together is because they too have contract similarities, as well they are two players I believe are more unlikely to be traded. The contracts of these two guys are one year each with no options at about $3.75 million a piece. Why I don't see them being traded is in Francisco's case, it seems like the Jays believe that he is and should be their closer, which I don't necessarily agree with, but whatever. As well it will be hard to trade away Frasor who has the longest tenure with the Jays of all current Blue Jays. Also the Jays need at least one solid bullpen piece to somewhat hold late leads. Even if the Jays do trade away Frasor, I know it will be a hard loss, but I think he would resign with them in the offseason.
Aaron Hill
We all know the story of Aaron Hill. The once great player, whose career seemed to have its climax in 2009, with everything after just getting worse and worse. I wrote more about this in the previous article "The Rise of One, The Fall of Another". But as I stated in that article I would welcome the trading of Hill to whatever team still believes in him. Though as I also stated I don't see that being a likely possibility. The reasons being as I stated that the Jays are weak when it comes to middle infielders, with only Hech in the higher part of the farm system. Then the fact that the 2B free agent class this year isn't great, though Anthopolous has had interest in the past in one free agent second basemen Kelly Johnson. But Johnson isn't exactly having an All-Star year either. So it leaves the Jays with the realization that if they trade Hill they won't have anything else to fill the spot other than John Macdonald who is great defensively, but isn't stellar with the bat.
Corey Patterson
Now to Corey, the former top prospect who never really panned out. The Jays saw him and gave him a shot with a minor league contract this year. Earlier in the year it didn't look bad because Patterson was performing and we were able to plug his bat into the lineup every once in a while with Snider and Bautista manning the corner outfield spots. Then Snider was demoted to AAA to "revamp" his swing. This left us with the understanding that we would have to plug either Juan or Corey into left field and we really couldn't afford Juan's catcher like figure trying to run around and attempt to adequately fill left field. So this left us with Corey Patterson, a guy who really shouldn't be a major league starter, but the Jays were almost forced to plug his bat into the lineup everyday. Though now that we have Thames and Snider in Toronto and Loewen in Vegas, we really have no need for Patterson and we can trade him away. He probably wouldn't bring much value but there is still teams who would give away a lower tier prospect for him. As was said in a Fangraphs article he could be this year's Cody Ross. Teams that may try to get Patterson includes the Diamondbacks and the Braves, both playoff contenders in need of an extra bat.
Carlos Villaneuva
Now finally to Carlos Villaneuva, a pitcher that I have heard no body really talk about in terms of trade, but a guy who is 5-1 with a 3.24 ERA should garner some interest. Especially when teams know that the Jays may be looking to shed a pitcher whether its Jo-Jo or Villaneuva. Because the Jays have 2 guys in Litsch and Drabek who could be pitching in the majors come August as well as a stocked farm system with such top prospects as Zach Stewart, Henderson Alvarez, and Deck McGuire. So shedding a guy like Villaneuva who is pitching much better than he should be according to his xFIP of 4.13 wouldn't be such a bad thing, if the team is overpaying. If the Jays could get even a C level prospect for him than that would be more than enough. As well the fact that he only makes less than a million this year helps out. Teams like Cleveland, Detroit, and Arizona.
I think that our overall biggest trade chip would have to be Carlos Villaneuva, just based on the way he has played this year and I do think that he could help a contending team such as Arizona who has been known to be looking to add smaller pieces at the deadline. Other guys who I do expect to be traded include Corey Patterson and Jon Rauch. The other guys still could get traded, but I think with the situation that those guys are in and how they both excelled early, they would be most likely to go. Though none of these trade chips will net us any top shelf picks, but they can still get some positive contributors to our farm system. Because you never know what you have in a player until you can fully evaluate him yourself and as Jose Bautista has shown, anything can happen.

Tankless gas vs. electric water heater- pros/cons
I know there are a lot of posts on the subject, I haven't been able to decide which one to go with for my planned finished basement. I am requesting advice. The upgrade won't come right away, but I need to update the electrical and my decision rests on which one I will get.
I currently have a 2000 sq ft, 2 story solid masonry home, and am in the middle of a basement renovation that will add about 900 sq ft to the house. My wiring is original and I have a 100 Amp service box that is Federal Pacific and needs to be changed. I only have 1 full bath currently but will be adding another, plus a half bath (2 full/2 half when done with renovations). I am in St. Louis, MO, with water temp coming in at 55 degrees.
I know until recently no one would have recommended electric tankless for whole house applications, but there is one- Steibel Eltron Tempra 36, that seems suitable for my use http://www.amazon.com/Stiebel-Eltron...5181012&sr=1-1 . The major downside is having to upgrade to a 400 A service, which would normally kill a deal but I need to upgrade service anyway. The question is to upgrade to a 200 A service and get a gas tankless (probably a Bosch http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-ProTankl...=2IBPX10ARXSTK ) or the 400 A service and get the electric.
Pros for electric-
I can install it myself- relatively easily (save install costs ($1000?))
Smaller/compact, does not need to be vented, can be placed anywhere
cheaper to buy (almost $1000)
Does not need to be serviced as often (lose risking warranty)
Pros for gas-
more efficient, may get money back long term
tax rebate.. maybe (may reach limit with A/C purchase)
save on electrical upgrade (almost $1000- won't need 400 A service)
Been around longer, may be easier to get serviced
Any advice? THX
I installed a Bosch electric,+ it draws 80amps(2, 40amp legs)...
Granted,.. You don't want the electric stove,+ the dryer,+ the waterheater on at the same time, but it's running Fine on a 200amp service...
Obviously if money was no object I would go with gas... but it would likely cost more than $1000 more for the system.
Gas Or Electric
Every day someone contacts our company asking us for an electric tankless water heater. What we notice is one common misconception. Almost everyone inquiring about an electric tankless heater wants to install it as a replacement for an existing electric tank-type water heater. We have found that most people are visualizing that they simply mount the new electric tankless heater on the wall and plug it into the pre-existing wiring from their old tank type heater. This is simply not a correct assumption. For an electric tankless heater to supply hot water at the required GPM (Gallons Per Minute), a much larger amount of electricity is required. The amount of electricity required is huge when compared to typical appliances. In fact, an electric tankless hot water heaters electricity requirements exceed the capacity of the typical American home. To find out the details, please read this report and comparison. We have taken the time to explain these energy consumption needs in an easy to understand way.
Early in our research, we extensively evaluated electric tankless water heater technology and chose to focus our efforts on gas-fired models. We decided that our company would not enter into the business of electric tankless heaters for a number of reasons. Without turning this article into a sales pitch, we will point out some of the same facts that resulted in our companys selection of gas fired heaters as our product line.
Simply comparing our popular EZ DELUXE 4.0 GPM model to a similar but slightly smaller GPM capacity electric unit, one can clearly see the differences. (To be fair, we compare our EZ Deluxe to one slightly smaller and one slightly larger electric powered unit. The manufacturers specifications of the models used in this comparison are listed on their web site and we presume that they are accurate. However, we did not conduct tests on the specific electric models used in this specification comparison.)
This complete article is available at http://www.eztankless.com/Gas_vs_Electric.html
Thanks for the advice from everyone- here are my experiences:
I ended up installing the Bosch Gas heater I mentioned, and I am glad I did. I was actually able to install it myself, which required increasing the inlet gas lines to 1" to the unit.
My reasoning was actually simple after I had the electricians come and bid on the electrical job. They were asking $2k to upgrade from my 100A service to 200A, but more than $4K (and upwards of $6K) for a 300-400A service. This pretty much wiped out any financial incentive I would have for the electrical heater.
But What I find to be the biggest plus was how variable the GPMs are on these devices. Assuming you can pull all the required gas for optimal performance, and assuming you can find true estimates of the ground water temp., you will see how quickly you can use up all the GPMs of these devices. I found that in the dead of winter the Bosch heater was using roughly 80-90% power running the shower, kitchen sink, and two small bathroom sinks- that should be roughly 5-6GPM- and only raising the temp 55deg to 125 deg. Theoretically I should not have been using that much power (should theoretically get something like 10 GPM), but it is likely my ground water temp is much colder than that. Bottom line is that there is NO WAY I could be using all those water sources with the electric water heater and the same conditions.

Okay i have a 2008 Subaru impreza outback sport. My parents want me to keep the car stock...not happening. IM going to start off with a sound system. What i want is to buy subs for under the front two seats with a switch that i ca n turn the subs on and off with. I need to buy a converter kit so i can connect it to a stock radio (any one know how to remove this head unit?) So i bought a 10 inch shallow series sub from pioneer and im going to box it as soon as it comes in. Now i need help with what amp i should buy,(something that i can hide so my parents cant see it) and what converter i need.
You think it will sound uneven if i dont have a subwoofer under each seat?
Also i am looking for a cold air intake for the car. Thing is that it has that stupid sensor thing so i would need to screw it into the new cold air intake. Hope you can help, thanks Erik.

Why I am Patriotic and You Don't Have to Be
I recently wrote a post saying that you should be proud to be an American. This post received several negative comments so I thought I would explore the idea of patriotism a little deeper. After some discussions with family and friends, I discovered two things. The first thing is there are several reasons why I am patriotic. The second is that there are legitimate reasons as to why some people aren't patriotic.
Why I am Patriotic
I love America. It has brought some negative responses, but I am not ashamed to say that. It has been very good to me and to many people over the years. I am thankful for the many freedoms that it provides me. I have the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and many others. I know many of these are available other places, but they are not available everywhere. If you enjoy these freedoms in another part of the world, be thankful for having them. There is no reason to point this out to me, I realize that America is not the only good place to live in the world.
It is just chance that I was born in America as opposed to some other part of the world, but I happen to like living where I do. America is the way it is for many reasons. However, a big part of how America is shaped came from our Founding Fathers and the soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War. They sacrificed to create the country I live in. I feel that I owe them at least a small debt of gratitude for their efforts.
Many brave men and women have continued to fight for these freedoms and I am thankful for that. I realize that other countries have armies as well, but that doesn't matter to my point. Some countries use them for purposes that are pretty terrible. The German army in World War II did a lot of awful things, and I am thankful for the Americans and other Allies that fought to stop them. If your country uses its army for good purposes, namely protecting you, you should be thankful for them.
The things that happened at Abu Ghraib and a few other places make me sick. I am not proud of those people because they are not representing the things that America stands for. There was a great article in the Washington Post today about an interrogator that has had great success without using torture. I am thankful for good men like him. While there are plenty of people who don't represent America well, there are many more like this man that represents America well.
Why You Don't Have To Be Patriotic
I am thankful that the country I was born in has been a good place to live for me. However, I also realize that it is just random chance that I was born within these political boundaries. I did not do anything to be born here, and I had nothing to do with the founding of this country. A friend of mine said this about the issue:
The fact that I was born here is just a roll of the dice, mere happenstance. I am proud of things I can accomplish and control. I am a horribly unpatriotic person, and given a better deal in some currently non-existent great economy with tons of job, I would strongly consider relocating and applying for citizenship elsewhere.
This is a valid point. Being "proud to be an American" is an interesting concept. Generally you are proud of something that you have done well. An impressive accomplishment can make a person proud. Simply being proud because you were born in a certain place could be considered a little silly. You had no control over it at all.
There are other reasons that are perfectly acceptable to not be patriotic. To be perfectly frank, America has not been a good place to live for many people. Being a minority in America has meant bad things for many many people. Slavery existed for almost 90 years for blacks. The next 100 years were not much better. There were lynchings, segregation, and a lot of discrimination for a long time. Some still exists today. If you were an African American living in these eras, there was no reason to be patriotic or proud to be an American. These things make me ashamed sometimes.
While I am still thankful for America and all it has given me, I don't think any less of you if you aren't. It is perfectly reasonable in many cases, and in some cases it makes very little sense to be proud to be an American. Let me know how you feel in the comments below.

Tonneau Cover Struts - replace
Boy, talk about a love/hate relationship...my Allante is pure pleasure to drive, but has so many problems it is driving me crazy...today's is...how do you take out the top fastener on the tonneau cover struts - do I have to remove what appears to be a large partition between
the trunk and tonneau storage area? I have the shop manual and cannot find any reference to changing the struts...thanks again!
Re: Tonneau Cover Struts - replace
OK, thanks to a fellow enthusiast named Bob, I now know the tonneau cover has to come off to get to the hinges - the hinges serve as the housing for the darn struts...and, as I understand it, the hinges have to be removed to replace the gas struts...hope this helps someone else - if it does, Bob (who ownes six Allante's) deserves the credit!!!
Re: Tonneau Cover Struts - replace
OK...here is what I "learned" - the replacement starts in the trunk. THe upholstery at the top of the trunk's forward wall has to be loosened by removing six screws - that step loosens that flap of carpeting that is then "folded up" revealing two bolts on each side of the metal frame...they hold the hinge inside of the tonneau cover's cavity, and the hinges are where the gas struts live - you can either loosen the four bolts and then CAREFULLY pull out the whole tonneau cover with the hinges
attached, or CAREFULLY, holding the tonneau cover upright and OFF OF THE TRUNK, remove the six bolts attaching the tonneau cover to the hinges...overall,
getting the hinges out is not that tough - our problem was (and is) getting the tonneau cover to line up with the darn latch after replacing the gas
sturts - the four bolts in the trunk have some adjustability, and, of course the six bolts holding the hinge to the tonneau cover do too...finding the right
combination proved to be elusive...we are still working on getting the tonneau to latch.
If you tackle this job you need to remember the trunk cannot be opened much if the tonneau cover is being adjusted, is open, OR if the hinges are installed
without the tonneau cover being attached to them - the hinges are going to have to be protected with at least thick tape - (we used cardboard pieces wedged
between towels to protect the paint, and so far, have not damaged the paint...but as I said, the darn thing needs a better adjustment before it will latch.
I am most definitely not very mechanical, so if you can describe yourself in a similar way you should probably pass on this task

"I'll pray for you." That can be a sentence of honest intent and care, but it can just easily be a power play, a kind of spiritual violence. I had a friend who was once struggling with faith, asking deep questions of it. Many who did not know him well, earnest evangelicals who hadn't been gifted with such questions, would sometimes come to him and say, "I'll pray for you." "I'll pray for you," because I've got God figured out and you don't. "I'll pray for you," because I have a close connect … [Read more...]

It was the first graded stakes win for the Florida homebred 4-year-old chestnut filly by Awesome Again --Nappelon (Bold Revenue).
Nothing But Fun broke to the lead in the seven-furlong event, with Sweet Fervor on the inside and Ginger Punch rating on the outside under a patient Rafael Bejarano. The first quarter went in :23.06 and the half-mile in :46.74,when Sweet Fervor made a move on the inside to get the lead.
Ginger Punch hadn't punched it in, however, and she simply ran away from the rest when asked at the top of the lane for a five-length victory in 1:22.04 on the fast main track.
"Rafael really knows this filly well," said Scott Hansen, assistant to winning trainer Bobby Frankel. "If he were on her the other day (in the Phipps), I really think we would have won. She's been a pleasant surprise. We might stretch her back out; I know Bobby wanted to win a graded stakes race with her. That was the main objective. She was training so well going into this, and she settled great."
Bejarano, who has been aboard for all of Ginger Punch's four victories, knew he had the class of a five-horse field. Frankel scratched the main rival, Sugar Swirl, and Bejarano rode her accordingly.
"My horse likes to run like that," Bejarano said. "She likes to follow somebody. When I saw (Sweet Fervor) coming up the rail from the three-eighths pole to the quarter-pole, I had a lot of horse. Nobody put a lot of pressure on me from the outside. When we came off the turn, I knew she had run left. She's a nice horse."
Ginger Punch paid $3.20, $2.20, and $2.10. Sweet Fervor, ridden by Kent Desormeaux for trainer Bill Mott, returned $3.40 and $2.50. It was two lengths to Swap Fliparoo, who was $2.70 to show under John Velazquez. Silmaril and Nothing But Fun completed the order of finish.

Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson told reporters that poor execution was the reason behind their struggling rushing attack after his team's 0-2 start. "The run game ain't working," Johnson said. "We just aren't executing the plays. I don't know why we're not." He went on to say, "People need to step up and do their job. They don't need to let people beat them. It don't matter who the opposing defense is, you can't let your guy beat you. You just can't give up plays. You have to make plays like they make plays. I can't speak for the defense. I can only speak for the offense."
Fantasy Analysis:
After two games, Johnson has only rushed for 21 yards on 19 carries. Hardly fitting for a lack likely drafted in the first round of most every fantasy draft. The last time Johnson rushed for over 100 yards, it was Week 13 of the 2011 season. In 2009, when he rushed for 2,006 yards, he exceeded 100-plus yards 12 times. In 2011, he barely surpassed 1,000 yards and hasn't at all played like his "CJ2K" moniker would suggest. It's probably a good time to buy-low on Johnson since there's really no way he'll play this poorly for the remainder of the season.

City signs
The City of Ames, Iowa uses a custom GIS-based sign management application called GIS Assets that runs on Apple iPads and is used to collect data from the field, such as traffic sign inventories and asset information.
The City of Ames, Iowa, was founded in 1864 to serve the Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Railroad, an effect of America's westward expansion at that time. In 1870, when the town was incorporated, it had 844 residents. During that same year, the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm was established in Ames as a Land-Grant College. Today, now known as the Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU), it serves more than 27,000 students, which is nearly half the city's total population of 59,000.
With the regular influx of new student residents, it is important for the streets and highways in Ames to be clearly signposted to minimize accidents and provide clear directions to both new students and people unfamiliar with the town during campus sports events. Additionally, the city has to conform to state and federal standards regarding signs, as outlined in the Federal Highway Administration Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Ben McConville, GIS manager in the city's public works department, has been using ArcGIS for asset management for many years. Among the city's numerous assets, there are more than 9,500 local traffic signs.
"Street signs are a challenge to accurately manage," McConville said. "You would think it is a fairly straightforward procedure; however, there are normally multiple assets residing at the same location. For example, in addition to the signpost, you may have three or four signs attached to it. So at that identical location, your database will include maintenance histories, accident reports, and retroreflectivity records for each sign as well as the post. In addition, there are replacement and maintenance schedules and vegetation management procedures related to the assets at that same location."
By using barcoding, public works department staff can easily identify signs and, if retrieved and turned into the department following an accident or act of vandalism, the sign's proper location.
Recently, Ames partnered with DGTex, Inc., to create a custom GIS-based sign management application called GIS Assets. It's built on ArcGIS Runtime SDK for iOS and runs on the Apple iPad. The application, now available on iTunes, is used to collect data from the field, such as traffic sign inventories and asset information, and integrate it and other remotely collected data with the department's geodatabase, managed by ArcGIS for Server.
Dominic Roberge, GIS specialist for the city, worked with traffic maintenance staff and developers at DGTex to design the application and database schema. "I spent a great deal of time identifying the needs of the crews and exactly what gaps the application needed to fill," Roberge said. "Among them were the need for barcoding and the ability to handle complex relationships. I then designed the database schema to accommodate these needs and published the Web services accordingly."
The city uses a RoadVista model 922 retroreflectometer that records each sign's GPS coordinates and reads the barcoded label attached to it for identification purposes.
The city uses a RoadVista model 922 retroreflectometer to measure the reflectivity of each of its signs, which is required for the federally mandated retroreflectivity survey. In addition to measuring its reflectivity, the device records the sign's GPS coordinates and reads the barcoded label attached to it for identification purposes.
"Signs are frequently knocked down by vehicle accidents, vandalism, or snowplows," said Bill Latham, an Ames traffic maintenance worker. "Often the signs are simply dropped at the maintenance shop by law enforcement or maintenance crews with no explanation of where they may have come from. By using barcoding, staff can easily see exactly which sign it is and where it came from, making it easy to reset."
Back in the office, the data recorded by the retroreflectometer is downloaded to the GIS Assets application, which uses the sign's barcode for reference. The application then performs a join to the department's geodatabase, and the field data is automatically added to it, which helps centralize all remotely collected data with the geodatabase. Because each sign's reflectivity data and history are now part of the database, the city's traffic department can easily check to see if a specific sign is in compliance with the MUTCD. This verification can be done by public works staff from either the office or in the field with their iPads, which saves time and money.
"During city construction activities, GIS Assets has proved to be extremely helpful," said Terry J. Keigley, an Ames traffic maintenance worker. "Contractors often remove entire blocks of signs prior to construction. Sign crews are now able to easily reset the signs in the exact location with no measuring. The GPS typically gets us close enough to where we can find the existing hole or stem to place the sign on."
Reflectivity of each sign is required for the federally mandated retroreflectivity survey.
Before implementing the sign management application, the public works department was faced with bulk replacement of its signs in a specified area every five years to comply with FHWA mandates. With the application, field crews can now evaluate these assets sign by sign and then send this information to the geodatabase back in the office, where it is determined whether a sign should be repaired or replaced and issue work orders depending on the decision.
In addition, the iPad provides other functionality that is enhancing the department's workflow, including messaging between workers, broadcast emails, and the opportunity to shoot a photograph or video of an emergency situation in progress, such as a water main break, and send the video to the engineering department for evaluation. This information can also be attached to the geodatabase.
"The ability to easily attach pictures is a huge benefit. Pictures are a great tool to help us see what information may not be in the attributes. For example, not every MUTCD code indicates what the exact wording is on the sign. By looking at the picture, we can easily see," said Brad Becker, traffic signal lead technician.
"Centralizing all our public works asset data has really been a big benefit to us," McConville said. "Previously, there was a lack of integration and field connectivity, which made work tracking and inventorying difficult."
The GIS Assets application has sparked interest from other departments and is increasing the use of ArcGIS in Ames, particularly because the city has an Esri enterprise license agreement (ELA). "The ELA has opened up a ton of doors for us," McConville said. "It's given us the opportunity to really explore what we can do with GIS."
The next project for the Ames Public Works Department is expanding its use of the GIS Assets application by making greater use of its barcode reading capability. "Adding barcoding to all our public works assets makes it much easier for crews to immediately identify an asset in the field, determine its condition, and then send that information back to the geodatabase for further review," McConville said. "It will really help streamline our field crews' work and continue to keep our geodatabase up-to-date."

The wumpus-basic package
Kernel code for higher-level drawing built on Wumpus-Core. This package provides font loader code (currently limited to AFM font files) and a various drawing objects intended to be a higher-level basis to make vector drawings than the primitives (paths, text labels) provided by Wumpus-Core.
** WARNING ** - this package is alpha grade and it is strongly coupled to the package Wumpus-Drawing which is sub-alpha grade. The packages are split as it is expected they will have different development speeds - Wumpus-Basic needs polishing and refinement; Wumpus-Drawing simply needs a lot of work to move its components from proof-of-concept ideas to being readily usable.
NOTE - the demos that were previously included are now in the package Wumpus-Drawing.
v0.23.0 to v0.24.0:
Changes to type funs to work with GHC 7.4.
Removed FormatCombinators module.
v0.22.0 to v0.23.0:
Re-worked the Chain module and API.
Replaced ZDeco enumeration with ZOrder.
Removed the Basic.Geometry modules, they are superseded in Wumpus-Drawing. Some of the equivalent functionality is now internal to the respective modules in Wumpus-Drawing - Wumpus has scaled back the amount of geometric types and operations it wants to expose.
Renamed the PlacedTrail object to AnaTrail - the prefix vector is considered an anacrusis. Tidied up the API of the Trail module.
Moved bezierArcPoints and BezierMinorArc from Basic.Geometry and marked the Basic.Geometry code as obsolute.
v0.21.0 to v0.22.0:
Reverted argument order of run functions they back to the monadLib style (args * monadic_operation) rather than MTL style (monadic_operation * args). Typographically this seems better.
Removed module Geometry.Paths it is superseded in Wumpus-Drawing.
Added user state to PosObject and moved it into Kernel.Drawing.
Changed the enumeration DrawStyle to DrawMode. Added another enumeration PathMode.
Changed Chain so that first item in the chain is the start point (previously the start point was iterated by the chain).
Removed ConnectorProps from the DrawingContext , they are now used "locally" in Wumpus-Drawing.
Added more vector constructors to Kernel.Objects.Displacement.
Added extra methods to the Decorate class for annotating SVG elements.
v0.20.0 to v0.21.0:
The code from the Kernel.Base.UserState module has been moved to the module Kernel.Drawing.Basis.
Moved Image and Query from Objects.Basis to new module Objects.Image. Moved Chain, CtxPicture and TraceDrawing into the new Drawing folder.
Added Wumpus.Basic.Kernel.Drawing.LocDrawing module.
Rationalized the combinators exported by the drawing objects Image, LocImage, LocThetaImage and Connector.

A Minute With: Jessica Chastain on "Zero Dark Thirty"
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jessica Chastain carries the weight of starring in one of the year's most anticipated films, "Zero Dark Thirty," about the decade-long hunt and eventual killing of Osama bin Laden.
Critics say Chastain pulls it off seamlessly as "Maya," based on a real-life CIA agent who played a major role in tracking down bin Laden at his hideout in Pakistan.
As the film opens in limited U.S. release on Wednesday, Chastain, who is tipped as a likely best actress Oscar nominee for the role, talked to Reuters about playing a character she could not meet and why the film is an important look at America's role in a dark war.
Q. What did you think when you saw this film finished?
A. "It is a tough one for me to watch, because there is so much responsibility with playing this woman. I find her to be incredible. And I didn't want to change her story or make her a Hollywood version, with a lot of makeup. I didn't want to trivialize what she did ... I want her to like it, but I don't know if she will ever see it."
Q. How did you play someone you had never met?
A. "There was three months of working with (screenplay writer) Mark Boal, doing research, reading lists and talking to people. And then anything I could not solve through research, like what is her favorite candy - 'cause when we are all overseas we have something we do when we are homesick - I had to answer that question myself."
Q. Boal hasn't gone into too much detail about her? Continued...

Those attending services on Friday night at First Presbyterian Church Lehighton were among the many people around the world who gathered to celebrate World Day of Prayer. The service was sponsored by Life (Lehighton Interfaith Fellowship).
Women in 170 countries around the world came together to observe an offer a common day of prayer.
Each year a different country serves as the writer of the World Day of Prayer worship service, interpreting the Bible in their own context, and lifting up issues of mission, justice and peace that are important to them. This year France prepared the World Day of Prayer Service. The theme was "I Was a Stranger and you Welcomed Me."
The French WDP Committee looked for a Christian response to the struggles concerning immigration and for ways to welcome "the stranger." Through visual interpretation and personal stories, participants could put themselves in the shoes of the stranger, remembering their own feelings of being on the outside and the blessing of welcoming.
The WDP service began at the first sunrise in the Pacific region, and followed the earth's orbit to spread around the world. Participating in the service from the host church were, Gerry Andrews, Bill Lester, Tracy Lester and Shirley Stamm.
Other persons participating were, Mary Kay Levandusky, All Saint's Episcopal Church; Jean Gothard (pianist), Jenny Keiper, Joan Mertz, and SALM Emma Weaver, Grace/Zion Lutheran Church; Rose Marie Austin, St. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church; and Rae Grow and Shirley Radler, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Good idea; but you might do a mock-up first... measure the total length of studs as they sit in the block now, from the deck (NOT top of dowel) to top of stud. Let's say you've got 3", duplicate that on the cyl head sitting on the workbench to make sure you have enough exposed stud to extract once the head is on the deck. It would really suck to have to have to stab that 60lb chunk of aluminum twice
I used an engine hoist to crane the thing in, and stabbed the head onto the deck with the exhaust manifolds installed. That was tricky... aligning the exhaust manifold collector studs with the exhaust pipes while aligning the head onto the deck. By myself
The method you're using is far safer, less risk of something going wrong. As it turns out, Papa's car is back to screamin' and running cool. Still, if I ever do another one of these, I'd follow the method you're following now.

1. You should use Pi (instead of pi)
2. You should define a function a[t] oder a[t,x]. The following should
Clear[a, x, t]; a[t_] = Sin[34*x - 2*t];
Animate[Plot[a[t], {x, 0, 2*Pi}], {t, 0, 5}]
Clear[a, x, t]; a[t_, x_] = Sin[34*x - 2*t];
Animate[Plot[a[t, x], {x, 0, 2*Pi}], {t, 0, 5}]
