Ruth Pelke's family has fond memories of holidays in her Gary home, complete with crocheted gifts, colored cookies and "Nana salad," Pelke's macaroni salad mixed with watermelon pickles.
But in 1985 four teenage girls turned their stepgrandmother's dining room into a crime scene, leaving Pelke dead with more than 30 knife wounds piercing her 78-year-old frame.
"It went through her body, through the carpet, through the padding on the floor," said Pelke's stepdaughter, Ruth Weyhe, now 88. "There were marks in the floor."
In an infamous case that made national headlines, 15-year-old Paula Cooper, 16-year-old Karen Corder, 14-year-old Denise Thomas and 15-year-old April Beverly were arrested and charged as adults in relation to the murder.
"Christmas has never been the same, that's for sure," said Pelke's now 64-year-old grandson, Bill Pelke.
'I just loved her so, so much'
Ruth Pelke grew up and worked on a farm in Peru, Ind., doing manual labor as well as helping her neighbors with chores as the women recovered from childbirth, according to her family. She was a second or third cousin to Weyhe and Robert Pelke's mother, and they said the family would see her during trips to the countryside.
Robert, Pelke's stepson who is 92 and living in South Carolina, said he always would remember how much faith Pelke had in him. And how she once trusted him to drive a wagon full of hay as a teenager – which he accidentally flipped over after turning a corner too sharp.
"She didn't hold it against me," he said. "She treated me very good. It was just one of those things she took in stride. She was very cool. She took everything calmly."
Weyhe, who now lives in Porter County, said she recalled farm trips dating back to when she was 4 years old.
"I used to go with her out to the pasture and bring in the cows and stand there and watch her milk," Weyhe said. "I just followed her everywhere. I just loved her so, so much."
A year after her mother died from leukemia, she said her father and Pelke became an item. But before Pelke would marry Weyhe's father, Pelke said he had to first ask his children if they would be OK with it.
Weyhe said they were thrilled.
"I remember her and granddad having a wonderful relationship," said Karen, Pelke's 47-year-old granddaughter. "They would joke around and he would tease her and smooch with her. He was always very loving and she was very loving back to him."
It was Pelke's first marriage, and she never had any biological children.
"She took on a whole family," said Pelke's 51-year-old grandson, Jon. "She was the only grandmother any of us had."
The family threw her a joint 70th birthday party and "Nana's Day" in May shortly after Mother's Day, donning Pelke with a queen's robe and crown. Bill said one of the reasons for celebrating her was because she didn't stand to be honored at a Mother's Day service.
"I guess because she didn't have any kids of her own, she didn't feel like she was a mother," Bill said. "And that bothered me."
Pelke opened her arms to her nonbiological family, as well as her church family. Her relatives said she was an active member of her Baptist church and volunteered as part of a child evangelism program in her neighborhood. For about an hour sometimes five days a week, she would meet with youths and share Bible stories ranging from David and Goliath to Noah's ark.
She was known for using vibrant flannel graphs to tell those stories, her family said, sticking figures made of flannel and paper against unique flannel backgrounds propped on an easel.
"She was just a loving, caring person and she spoke positively of people," said granddaughter Dottie McKay, 67, of South Carolina. "She loved the Lord."
McKay said Pelke was killed shortly before McKay's daughter's high school graduation party, and they found the card she had prepared for her daughter after Pelke's death.
"If you had a perfect grandmother or mother, she would be the one," McKay said.
That day
Pelke had been living alone since her husband, Oscar, died in 1983, and her family members said they had been trying to get her to move as Gary's crime rate started to rise.
The day before her murder Robert had gone to visit Pelke to talk about getting the Adams Street home in Gary's Glen Park neighborhood fixed up and ready to sell. Weyhe, also a widow at the time, said she had been considering trying to buy a place with Pelke to help get her out of the area.
"She wasn't afraid to stay where she was," Robert said. "She said she'd stay there until she went to heaven."
And on May 14 when Robert went to pick up Pelke for some errands, he found her body on a blood-soaked floor with a towel over her face.
"The first thing I did was lift up the towel and I saw she was dead," Robert said. "I grabbed the telephone, and it was jerked out of the wall, and then I had to run up and down the street. I couldn't find a neighbor home or nothing."
Bill said his father flagged down a car and asked to use their phone because his mother had been killed.
"I know he had never referred to her as his mother, and that was the first time I heard him do that," Bill said.
Karen said she found out after coming home and watching it on the news, as cellphones were rare in the 1980s. Her brother, Jon, said he listened to a radio broadcast as the news broke.
"I remember hearing it on the radio and not knowing and just feeling this feeling," Jon said. "And then when I was told when I got home what had happened, you're talking about shock. It was heinous."
Karen said it was a blessing to find out who did it so soon.
"I think hearing about it and not knowing what happened, you have terrible thoughts in your mind about who did this," she said. "You don't think young girls. You think men, and what else did they do to this helpless woman?"
Bill said he remembers showing up to the house, seeing his father and another relative trying to scrub stains off the wall and carpet.
"(I) visioned her butchered on the dining room floor and it would just tear me apart," he said. "I couldn't stand to think about it."
What's in a sentence?
Cooper was sentenced to death at age 15 for the murder of Pelke.
But through a series of events where Indiana law increased the age a child could be put to death to 16, the state Supreme Court ruled putting Cooper to death would be unconstitutional.
Her sentence was commuted to 60 years, and through credit for time served, a day off for each day of good behavior and credit for educational programming and certificates, she is scheduled to be released in 2013.
While Pelke's family members said they agree on the principals of mercy and forgiveness, they did not all have the same view of what justice is.
Bill, once a supporter of the death penalty, later became one of Cooper's biggest advocates. He said he forgave her and has seen how she's changed through their letter exchanges and visits over the past several decades.
"If she was somebody who was 30 or 40 years old, I might not have the same sentiment," Bill said about giving her a second chance because of her youth. "I figured it was up to the state of Indiana to decide when she would be eligible to get out ... so I had no problem that she would get 30 years."
Robert said that while he was a supporter of the death penalty, he was not upset that Cooper's sentence had been commuted and that she would be released in a little less than a year.
"In other words, there was nothing I could do about it," he said. "She was gone, the people were found guilty and punished according to the law. I was satisfied and that's were I left it. … If you hang onto it, it tears your life apart."
Others said they did not think the punishment fit the crime.
"At 15, you know it's murder," Weyhe said. "And (Pelke) was murdered with such force."
Jon said he would want to ask Cooper why she had to stab Pelke so many times. When told his question, Cooper said she would want to have that conversation with Jon, and that she was "very, very remorseful."
The disparity between the 60-year sentence and the less than 30 years of actual time served was frustrating for some family members, Karen said.
"You're gullible and think 60 years, she's got to be 75 when she gets out ... but that's not what they really mean," Karen said. "It's a sleight of hand in our justice system."
Randolph Stone, a clinical professor of law at the University of Chicago, said the state system does not make sentencing very clear, and that there is a movement to have more truth in sentencing where a year means a year — or at least more than six months.
"That's one of the things that needs to change about the system, is the transparency of the sentencing process," Stone said. "It's very complicated for lawyers, let alone the public."
He also said having a carrot to dangle in front of prisoners as an incentive to behave while behind bars helps wardens control the population.
For those who don't think she should be getting out next summer, Cooper said they are justified in whatever they feel, be it positive or negative.
"They are not going to understand it no matter what I say," she said from Rockville Correctional Facility. "That's just the way they feel. People are entitled to the way they feel."

Rad Rides by Troy
Asking Troy Trepanier what he sees as emerging trends can be a bit of an involved conversation-in an enlightening way, not a bad one. Rad Rides has dabbled in nearly every facet of hot rodding from Ridler Award-winning show cars, to Bonneville record setters, traditional-style hot rods, and everything in between, so Troy sees several shifts happening, depending upon what type of car is being built.
Once upon a time, nearly every Rad Rides car had a certain formula to it that reflected Troy's personal preferences at the time-two-tone paint, airbrush touches, and shaved body. That's mostly gone by the wayside in the past few years, however, in favor of styling that seeks to accentuate the stock bodylines, especially in pre-muscle era cars. "They did a lot of beautiful stuff in the '40s and '50s, and sometimes if you start changing it, you wreck it," Troy says. Now much of the trim stays and revisions are designed to be subtle and factory appearing-sometimes even creating their own custom pieces to add to the factory bits. Even the interiors are refined versions of stock, such as with Roger and Nancy Ritzow's '56 Chrysler 300B, dubbed Passion, that combines fine tan leather with original Chrysler cloth inserts. Troy calls it the best car he's ever built and it's absolutely delicious in the amount of subterfuge involved. It rides on a custom chromoly chassis with Viper suspension, and power comes via a twin-turbocharged Dodge NASCAR engine. And while that's interesting, it's easily rivaled by the artistry of the car itself and all the custom touches. And yet, when you stand back, it still looks like an exceptionally nice '56 Chrysler on wire wheels. That's the future of customs, Troy says.
Speaking of twin-turbo NASCAR engines, unusual and exotic powerplants are the order of the day at Rad Rides. Recent and current projects have been propelled by legit NASCAR engines, Boss 429s, twin-turbo 401 nailheads, Mercedes-Benz G-class, and Miller Indy, to name a few. Suffice it to say, bellybutton engines are passé and unique eye candy underhood is where most high-end rods are headed. Despite that, the reliability has to be just a good as a stock small-block. Roger and Nancy have logged nearly 6,000 miles on their 900-plus horsepower 300B. "It ain't written in stone that you'll get your money back when it's sold; they need to be built to be enjoyed," Troy says. "People want to keep these cars and use them instead of look at them."
It's not all about pricey vintage steel though. Perhaps the ultimate proof that acceptable fodder for high-end builds has moved forward in decades is the F87 Raptor '87 Camaro currently under construction. The number one thing holding most '80s era cars back from making that step forward has been the unfortunately large amount of low-quality plastic that makes up a good deal of the exterior, forever stigmatizing them. Troy and his team have the remedy though; everything in plastic on the F87 will be reformed by hand in aluminum and steel, including the IMSA-inspired flares in the body. Troy says the key to the mass acceptance of '80s-based builds will be finding ways to get the cheap out.
As for serious competition-capable cars like the Bonneville-bred and record-setting Blowfish '68 Barracuda, Troy says we'll be seeing more cars of that ilk from top builders seeking to prove their skills.

Sweet Leeks with Raisins
Earthy leeks harmonize with sweet raisins for a light yet satisfying addition to any holiday spread.
Leeks and raisins may seem like an unlikely pair, but this tasty dish will have you back for seconds.
Makes 4 servings
What You Need:
4 leeks, washed and sliced thinly
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon of crushed red pepper (optional)
What You Do:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add leeks and raisins, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If pan is dry, add a bit of water, one tablespoon at a time, as needed. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly transparent and soft but not mushy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tip: Leeks must be cleaned thoroughly to remove the fine sand and dirt often embedded between the layers. Here's a quick and easy way to do the job: Split the leeks lengthwise. Put them in a large bowl filled with cold water and soak briefly to loosen any debris. Then rinse thoroughly under cold water, parting the layers slightly so the debris rinses away. Put the leeks in a clean bowl of cold water and swish to remove any remaining sand or dirt.

Latest News
Traders focus on corporate earning power
Malcolm Morrison, The Canadian PressPublished: Monday, April 21, 2014
Investors hope markets can build on the respectable gains chalked up last week after getting reassurance about the Chinese and U.S. economies.
Traders will again focus on corporate earnings as big Canadian companies start to release quarterly reports.
North American markets racked up solid gains last week, with the TSX ahead 1.7 per cent while the Dow industrials ran ahead 2.4 per cent, partly because Chinese economic growth in the first quarter came in better than expected. Also, the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest regional survey showed that the American economy picked up over the past two months as bitter winter weather subsided.
It was a positive change from the previous week when U.S. indexes sustained sharp losses as traders rotated out of expensive biotechs and technology stocks.
The major Canadian reports this week will come from Teck Resources and Canadian Pacific Railway.
Teck's share price has suffered over the last 52 weeks, coming down from a high of $31.25 to a close on Thursday of $24.31, near its 52-week low of $21.11. Copper prices have tumbled 11 per cent this year and coal prices have fared even worse, falling from US$300 a tonne in 2011 to about $120 a tonne.
"The base metals remain challenged by the fact that we're still dealing with a slower global growth environment than we were, which is not great news for base metals," said Andrew Pyle, senior wealth adviser, portfolio manager at ScotiaMcLeod in Peterborough, Ont. "At the same time, Teck has a relation to coal and there have been indications we're dealing with pretty substantial coal supplies around the world, depressing prices."
Meanwhile, shareholders in Canadian Pacific will be looking to see if the railway's results justify the 36 per cent run-up in the stock price over the last 52 weeks.
"The results have to be amazing to validate the trajectory we have seen in these stocks," said Pyle. "Even if the results are OK, we could still see these stock prices come down, simply because of the valuations of this group. The group as a whole is vulnerable to a pullback."
Traders will look to see how severe winter weather impacted the railway in the quarter and how increased petroleum shipments have lifted the bottom line.
Other prominent earnings reports this week include telecom Rogers Communications on Monday and electronics manufacturer Celestica on Wednesday.
It's a light week for economic data. The primary news comes out Wednesday when Statistics Canada is expected to report retail sales in February rose 0.4 per cent from January, when sales posted a big 1.3 per cent bounce from the poor performance registered in December due to severe ice storms. Economists expect much of the gain will be driven by higher gasoline prices.
The big U.S. news is March durable goods data coming Thursday. Economists looked for goods orders to rise 1.9 per cent following a 2.2 per cent gain in February. Excluding the volatile transportation segment, orders are expected to have risen by 0.5 per cent.

an example of a perfectly correlated reconstruction with no skill at prediction. The dashed blue line is level at the mean temperature and has an r2 and a CE that are both zero. The blue and green reconstructed lines both have a CE of 0.50. For either of these reconstructions to be better than just the mean, they must exhibit some degree of correlation with the temperatures. In this case, r2 is 0.68 for the blue line and 0.51 for the green line.
Despite a common CE, these two reconstructions match the temperature series in different ways. The blue curve is more highly correlated with the short-term fluctuations, and the green curve tracks the longer term variations of the temperature series. The difference between the blue and green lines illustrates that the CE statistic alone does not contain all the useful information about the reconstruction error.
The combination of a high RE and a low CE or r2 means that the reconstruction identified the change in mean levels between the calibration and validation periods reasonably well but failed to track the variations within the validation period. One way that this discrepancy can occur is for the proxies and the temperatures to be related by a common trend in the calibration period. When the trend is large this can result in a high RE. If the validation period does not have as strong a trend and the proxies are not skillful at predicting shorter timescale fluctuations in temperature, then the CE can be substantially lower. For example, the reconstructions may only do as

http://www.cricket.com.au/Global Items/news/2013/5/14/new-format-for-womens-ashes
The multi-format Women's Ashes Series will encompass one Test match, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20Is) matches.
The winners of the Test will be awarded six points, with two points awarded to the winners of each of the limited overs matches (see table below).
The team that accrues the most points across all three formats will win the Women's Ashes Series.
Cricket Australia Senior Manager – Centre of Excellence Belinda Clark said: "Cricket contests between Australia and England have a special place in the hearts and minds of players and the public.
"The new Women's Ashes Series format acknowledges the past, embraces the present and takes a bold step towards the future.
"The recent ICC Women's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka and the ICC Women's World Cup in India demonstrated that the standard of women's cricket across all competing countries is more evenly balanced than ever before, which, in part, is due to the increased focus on the shorter forms of the game.
"The Women's Ashes Series in England in 2013 and the return series in Australia in 2014 will pit two highly competitive teams against each other and I for one can't wait for the first ball to be bowled."
Head of England Women's Cricket Clare Connor said: "The women's game has seen huge growth in interest and profile as a result of the limited overs formats in recent years.
"The new Women's Ashes Series looks to combine this reality with the prestige and tradition of Test match cricket.
"We believe that this new multi-format series will gain significantly more profile and context than can be generated by playing a one-off Test match every couple of years.
"Re-branding the Women's Ashes to a multi-format series is an innovative way forward for players, spectators and the media and we look forward to a hard-fought contest spanning three weeks in August."
The Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars are the current Ashes holders, having reclaimed them in Sydney in 2011.
Of the 18 women's Ashes series that have been played since its inception in 1934-35, Australia have won seven, England have won four and seven series have been drawn.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The principal, teachers and staff at Thomas Edison are very dedicated to creating a good learning environment for children. I also like the way the parents are very supportive of school activities and fund raisers.
I say that God sent an angle to your school when Dave Pelzer went there. You saved his life.
great school at daly city ,safe and teacher are teaching very well.My kid willing to go to school.Because teacher are nice and they know how to handle the kid
Thomas Edison Elementary School is a wonderful place for our children. We love the school, the environments, the outstanding teachers, and staff. It feels like a family at school. We have limited participation of parents and we hope that we can increase parents participation in the future... Parents: the most valuable gift we can give to our children is education.... I encourage all the parents to come and actively participate at the school. With your participation, we can make difference in our children education.
I have two kids here as well and have been an active parent with the PTA now PTO for 7 years. This school , l believe, is the best example of a school faced with major Gov fiscal cuts, lack of PTA district assistance, lack of facilities upgrades with minimal parent involvement persevering to become a leader in the district in making sure the Kids come first in all aspects of their education. The principal, on staff teachers and overall attitude is just wonderful. slowly but surely we as parents can make change happen. If you have kids at TE, please help volunteer.
I have two children attending this school and I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the school. Despite the budget cuts and limited resources, the teachers are working hard to help the students to learn and improve their education. The dedicated efforts of the teachers and the principal to improve the school can be seen from the continuously improving score on the STAR test. This is a great school overall, school environment is safe, teachers and the principal are dedicated, students are generally well behaved. I only wish there are more after school activities for the students other than the day care program.
I am privileged and honored to be involved with the schools fundraising event and help raised funds for the children of Thomas Edison School. It helps finance to go on field trips and other activities that will enhance their personal and educational experience. The principal of this school is doing the best she can to be supportive and active in fundraising activities. The teachers are exceptional. I am very proud that my son goes to school here coming from a private school. The PTA are doing a wonderful job in raising funds in order for our kids to experience outdoor activities as well as indoor functions. If we join hands and be part of the school, every penny, time and effort you invested in the school is pass along to our children.
Thomas Edison is a good school with the potential of being a great school. I agree with the previous review that the PTA has done wonderful things for the staff and students. Unfortunately these PTA parents will go into burn out mode soon if more parents don't step up. These are our kids, we need to be a part of their education. If we work with the school and not expect the school to do all the work, our kids will excell. Before you write a bad review, ask yourself, what have you done for the school lately? The teachers are dedicated and need our help. The principal has opened the doors for our help and is there to organize the partnership. Our kids and school need our support. Let's make TE live up to the potential the staff has envisioned.
I'm heavily involve with the PTA and I would like to correct the last comment. The only turn over of staff is our principal, the rest of the faculty have been there for an average of 5 years or more. The PTA is the one who pays for all the field trips and activities. It is a great school with a very dedicated faculty. We just need more parent involvement. If parents were more involve they would know what a great staff we have and how much work PTA puts into the childrens success.
I love this school. My daughter started kindergarden in the middle of the school year without going tp preschool and Thomas Edison and us work hard to get her caught up and she is. I though tshe would hate going to school after what she gone through, but no. Now she's a regular girl in first grade and loving it. This year they have a new principal; i'm not sure how she is yet. Also, the PTA works so hard trying to raise money for the school. Over all, this a great school.
To much turn around of staff. School closures in the district have made this school over crowded. No money for field trips or extras.

When we finally accept the pain, accept the fact that we will not get more than we've been given for a countless amount of time, we don't expect anything to change nor get better. We root within this thought, we grow it deeper and deeper. We want to accept the way it is, just so we don't need to feel so much pain anymore.
When suddenly someone wants to change our ground from cold, dry and full of stones into a soft and watered soil, it is far too late for a change. We don't care anymore. We've lost something. Something that once was a living part of us.
Cut flowers wither. Fallen stars dissapear. Torn hearts don't mend.
After all you can't go find a snowflake that has melted many winters ago.
That's why I think Oz never wanted to belive in promises. That's why Oz never wanted to show his inner self. That is why Oz, if thrown back into the abyss, would change completely and become the mirror image of Jack.
Broken. Never able to bend together again.

Discussion in 'Free Speech Alley' started by Tiger in NC, Dec 6, 2012.
You think THE PEOPLE need to GIVE the govt more money?
Also, under ObamaCare, 250K plus earners will already taxed an additional 3.8% starting Jan 1.
This does not include the fiscal cliff rate increases.
I think that right now certain programs are underfunded and some are over funded. I also think that some people are paying way too little in taxes because of the influence they have due to their wealth which creates the current economic conditions that are great for a couple people, but bad for the rest of us. I'd like to see those programs funded, some others cut, the wealthy taxed at a much, much higher rate. When economy is growing and jobs come back, I'd like to see the programs cut back because they're not needed anymore.
I was assuming that you had done some homework and determined exactly what number was the right amount for "enough". Did you or are you one of those people who think that any taxes are too much? If so, you're living in the wrong country. There are plenty of places that might suit your beliefs, but they're mostly unlivable.
Our spending is 25% of GDP.
Can you tell me why we need more revenue?
This countr has a spending problem. Revenue is already to high. Keep taxing job creators and one day all this country will have left is govt dependents. Flat tax of 20-21%. That way everyone pay " their fair share" as the hnic says.
Bullshit. Are you going to make me post the GDP graphs again? The ones that show the economy has been steadily recovering for three years? Or the positive job growth for three years? The Republicans get most of the blame for the impasse on debt, spending, and deficit.
And the Republicans had GOP President, Senate, House and Supreme Court for 6+ years? So what? What do you imagine that this trivia means?
Your a genuine one-issue guy, eh?
Those 3 years we had Bush tax cuts...
You trying to tell me it was a good idea then but not now and not under Bush?
That Obama ='s the exact same thing we have had....
Nothing new, just a different side of the isle and wants to spend MONEY on different shit.

Dimarzio DP423 Injector Bridge
DiMarzio heard about Paul Gilbert in the 1980s. Billy Sheehan told them about an amazing 18-year-old who had recently arrived in California and had blown everyone away with his musicianship, speed, and awesome technical ability in Racer X. DiMarzio immediately asked Paul to become a DiMarzio? endorser. Recently, Paul has been heavily into DiMarzio's Area? pickups. He?s... - The Paul Gilbert Injector? Bridge Model is one of DiMarzio's hottest hum-canceling models (185mV output) with six individual Alnico magnets. The DP423 sound is not like a vintage single-coil ? highs are bright but not glassy, and lows are solid and defined. The Injector Bridge pickup was designed to work equally well with rapid single-note arpeggios and power chords without becoming muddy or compressed. It has about 40% less magnet-pull than standard single-coils, and this is essential for the superior speed and dynamic range with which this pickup responds to pick attack. - - Paul's setup on the guitar he played on Fuzz Universe was Injector? Neck Model in the neck, Area 67? in the middle, and Injector? Bridge Model in the bridge. The Injector? is a lot louder and warmer than the Area 67? but the combination produces varied tonal colors in the 2 and 4 positions, with the Area 67 alone providing vintage tone and the Injector Neck and Bridge for heavier sounds.

Remember Me?
Inject your single coil slot with the Injector!
This pickup is ballsy! There's no other way to start out this review but to note that first. Lots of single coils claim to be as mean or as high octane as a humbucker but many fall short. This, in my opinion, is the best rock single coil pickup that Dimarzio has put out to date. There's just the right blend of lows, mids, and highs to give it a good chunky tone for rock chords. It doesn't get muddy on lows or choke out on highs. Indeed, you can tell this pickup was designed for someone like Paul Gilbert who pays great attention to pick attack. Even Van Halenesque staccato picking sounds great through this. You can hear pick strokes clearly even through thick distortion.
To qualify, I did not use this in a strat or a Fireman. I installed it in the middle position of my RG550 20th along with an Evolution in the bridge. Take that for what you will. This wasn't used in the true bridge position but I can only imagine it would get a tad sharper and meaner closer to the bridge. Dead-center on the 5 way switch is where this pickup shines. I have a Pro Track installed in the middle of my RG1570 and I kind of expected it to sound like that. Not at all. I did an A/B comparison with the HS-3 I have in the middle of my RG570 and it sounds like the HS-3 on steroids! In positions 2 and 4 this pickup has very nice pop and twang respectively. Very bluesy in the 2nd and 4th position; very rock and roll on 3!
Remove the pickup cover of the Injector Bridge and you instantly know where its coming from. It's not wound side-by-side rails like the Pro Track or other twin rail Dimarzio humbuckers. It's two mini single coils stacked on one another. When Paul said in the web video for this that it bucks the hum he ain't foolin'! This thing is *quiet*!
While it is billed as a humbucker in disguise it doesn't actually get there 100%. Maybe 90%. It still retains a little bit of its single coil identity in tone, which is a good thing as I see it. I think if someone were looking for more of an all-out humbucker tone from a single they might try the Tone Zone or Super Distortion single coil from Dimarzio. The Injector has the meat of a humbucker but still has enough of a single coil presence to make you appreciate it for the unique pickup that it is.
Liked about it
Tone! Thick but still clear and slightly punchy. I can't say much more than that.
Didn't like
It's not so much a dislike as much as a heads-up to those installing it. The Injector is a bit deeper than a standard single coil as it is stacked. Mine was sent to me with a white cover but I couldn't substitute another black single coil cover due to the depth of the pickup itself. If you're installing this in a front-routed guitar like a Jem or an RG550 it might take a tad more time to get the wired pickguard to sit down.
Other than that I have absolutely no complaints about this pickup.
Overall satisfaction:

A bit random I know, but don't use safe style uk if they come knocking. They have been harassing my mother up to 3 times a day.
Serious bully boys and not cheap. Trying to cancel the order for her as it's getting ridiculous but no way they said they'd take legal action if she tried to cancel.
She told them she couldn't have them fitted until the end of March due to an up and coming operation, it even states it on the order, but they haven't stopped phoning her almost daily asking when her op is going to be and couldn't I go round whilst they install them
Just had her on the phone upset as they are getting abusive now, I am not a happy bunny

In the end i got sick of it and wrote them a quick letter saying that i would not be taking up the windows, and that i had tried to cancel the contract over the phone unsuccessfully. If their fitters turned up at my house, they wouldn't be allowed entry and no money would be released for any reason whatsoever.

They kept hassling me after I got a quote from them. They eventually stopped when I told them I had had them fitted from someone else at half the price.Try telling them that when they next ring.
haven't got a reply from them yet so not sure what's happening, bloody love them to come to my house I'd keep them for hours then tell them to naff off
I am fuming, just spoken to the manager after they called my mum again
He was nasty and threatening too. Lets just say my heart rate is well up, What an evil swine, not sure what to do next

Remember that old lady/ young lady optical illusion back in the day? Well Leo Burnett has created a modern day version featuring adorable animals. With a 180 degree turn, an endearing deer becomes a handsome seal, an Asian elephant becomes a graceful duck, and a majestic giraffe transforms into a playful penguin. The campaign is for Jeep with a tagline "See whatever you want to see." We've done the flipping for you below for each set, so you don't have to do any acrobatics or computer flipping. If this doesn't make you want to buy a Jeep, I don't know what will! [Read more...]
Illusions in the Sand: 3D Beach Art from Jamie Harkins
Sometimes all you need to create magic are a few sticks, a bit of talent and a beach. When he's not making music or painting, New Zealander Jamie Harkins is drawing fantastic 3D illusions in the sand with the help of his friends. Their anamorphic drawings feature M.C. Escher like stairways, skate parks, ocean scenes and more, and are only complete when someone poses on the beach to make the illusion real. [Read more...]
We've Got You Covered: People Matching Their Bodies to Book Covers
For anyone who adores books, this is one way to get far closer to those literary loves. Working a Thursday night at Skylight Books in LA, Emily Pullen grabbed a book and matched her body to the figure on the cover. Her friends and co-workers joined in, matching each of their bodies more or less perfectly with those on the books – everything from faces and eyeballs, to punching fists and flexing muscle men. It was addictive. [Read more...]
Floating Tree Illusion in Germany
Whether you want to call it a rural intervention or illusory street art, this fantastic illusion created by Daniel Siering and Mario Shu is convincing. The duo wrapped a tree in Potsdam, Germany with plastic sheet, then carefully painted the background landscape to create the illusion of a tree cut in half. Here the top of the tree floats, suspended in space – and only a video can break the spell to show us exactly what's happening. [Read more...]
Polkadots or Stripes? Lenticular Dress Changes Patterns Depending on The Viewer's Perspective
Ladies: can't decide if you want to step outside in stripes or polkadots today? Have no fear because Dutch fashion designer Antoine Peters has created the perfect dress for you – and it has two different faces. His 'Lenticular Dress' changes patterns depending on the viewers perspective. From one side the dress is clearly black and white stripes; from the other black and white polkadots. The design – though extremely striking in its effect, is created using an old fashioned method: pleats. [Read more...]
Paint a Hole in that Wall! German Street Artist "1010" Creates Colorful Street Art Illusions
Here's a different take on street art – german artist 1010 is painting convincing, colorfully banded holes in walls. The simple technique looks a lot like the work of a growing number of paper artists who are creating similarly layered artworks, but 1010 is reproducing that 3D technique on the flat. Even though they're being painted on concrete walls, these pieces look real enough to reach inside and touch some color. [Read more...]
Ukranian Painter Masters the Art of Optical Illusion: Two Paintings in One
We've all seen the classic young lady or old hag optical illusion, but these oil paintings by Oleg Shuplyak are on a whole other level. Famous faces emerge from seemingly normal landscape backgrounds, leaving viewers double taking each piece to fully understand the different perspectives. In some instances the faces are what the eye recognizes first and stepping back, the smaller details that make up the face can be appreciated. Other times the eye is drawn to the landscape and finding the face is more of a challenge. [Read more...]
Felice Varini: Anamorphic Paintings Cover the World
At first they appear to simply be gigantic swooping shapes painted across buildings around the world… but find the correct focal point and they pop into astounding geometric forms. Swiss artist Felice Varini has been creating these massive pieces since 1979; starting small with room based installations, but later growing to pieces that cover entire villages and require a hike up a mountain to properly appreciate. His anamorphic paintings have impressed a generation of creatives, and continue to be emulated to this day. [Read more...]
Parquet: Is it a Rug or a Sculpture?
It's hard not to be confused by this new piece by Daniella Mooney. Seemingly a wood parquet floor climbs up over a wooden chair, changing into a thick, flowing rug. Even on second glance the illusion is hard to shake. This is the work of a master woodworker. [Read more...]

The Nets flex their Dad strength and grind their way to a win over our Houston Rockets.
Rockets got abused worse than Jay-Z did on Nas' diss track, Ether. Imma leave it there cause Beyonce is from Houston and I got mad respect. Or something like that.
You know "Dad strength" right? Like when you wrestled with your dad when you were a kid but no matter what move you threw at him he would just pick you up, strand you in the air, and then toss you onto the nearest semi-comfortable surface. Although semi-comfortable was a loosely held term….I've been training dad, ain't no such thing as grandpa strength. Or at least I hope not.
A lot of the Brooklyn roster is old enough to be Isaiah Canaan's dad, so I don't think this comparison is too far off.
One more thing before the recap. If you can form a coherent argument that excuses James Harden of the embarrassing effort he displayed on the court tonight then you could probably convince the UN that North Korea is just misunderstood, and your talents are most likely being severely underutilized. It was truly amazing to watch Harden care so little for all 36 minutes he played (-17, worst on the team). Offensively it didn't get embarrassing until the second half but that was the sloppiest 26 points I've ever seen, and without the help of the refs this game could have really gotten out of hand.
I try to use logic when playing armchair psychiatrist, just so I can hopefully gain some insight into why players do the things they do. But I can't wrap my head around when Harden decides to put forth effort and when he doesn't. On a night when we were clearly SO short handed defensively Harden elected to play even less defense than he normally does. The following sequence was repeated at least a dozen times.
- Harden jogs back on defense.
- He stops at the top of the key, or down low just outside the paint.
- Hasn't decided which player is his yet, and doesn't seem interested in reaching the conclusion.
- Ball swings to his opposite side.
- Stares hole in ball.
- Slowly makes his way into help defense position.
- Doesn't help when opportunity presents itself.
- Ball gets swung out to his man, whom Harden had assumed left the court I guess, for wide open shot.
- Harden berates his teammates for some made up blown assignment, in attempt to deflect blame from self.
- Rinse and repeat.
The other scenario is much shorter.
- Harden matches up on the ball.
- Opponent takes step towards basket.
- Harden feels he is already beat, and must reach around to poke ball out, and then misses.
- Completely exposes his teammates to the offensive drive.
It's not breaking news that Harden is bad at defense. And honestly if it was just the defense, I would be ok with his performance because I recognize all the good he brings to the team, especially lately. The thing that actually crawls up underneath my skin and dies is how he goes after his teammates even when it is so obviously his fault that his teammates were exposed. And not a single one of the Rockets come back at him. Parson's would have probably been the only one with the credentials to do so, but I anxiously await the day this happens. Right as Harden is about to throw one of his little stomp fits, Parsons walks up to him, grabs him by the beard, and slaps him, "No. Just no." Is that too much to ask for?
The Skinny
Analysts love talking about pace. It's one of the few important things that the human eye can almost correctly measure, and therefore doesn't require an advanced stat sheet to back the claims you make in regards to it. Try guessing what your team's True Shooting Percentage is just by watching the game, it's damn near impossible. This game gave the analysts plenty to babble about, as pace was absolutely crucial to the Nets pulling off the win.
Watching this game was like being a passenger in a Drivers Ed vehicle while the student has the throttle to the floor and the teacher is laying into the brake on his set of instructor pedals. The Nets want to move slow, the Rockets want to move fast and who ever dominated the pace, dominated the moment.
The loss was a result of not controlling the pace for long enough stretches of time. The Rockets went into this game missing Patrick Beverley, Dwight Howard, and Terrence Jones which resulted in a staggering amount of mismatches between the two team's respective starters.
Joe Johnson went to work on Parsons, Pierce on D-Mo and Harden, Livingston on Lin, D-Will on whoever was on him at the time and then the one that hurt the most, Andray Blatche on everyone not named Omer Asik. ANDRAY BLATCHE. It was a lot of Iso game for Brooklyn but with Houston's weak individual defenders littered about the court, it played right into their strengths.
Something that was nice to see was the regular second unit playing well together in the second quarter. The Harden-less squad pretty much won the quarter on their own. Lin, Garcia, Hamilton, Parsons and Asik. They started the second quarter with this lineup (although Canaan was in briefly for Lin) and it played until 5:20 mark, erasing the Nets' lead and giving the Rockets a 45-41 advantage. Harden and D-Mo then came in and we proceeded to score one more field goal for the rest of the quarter. At the half we were losing 54-51 and it seemed pretty lucky that we were just down three.
The Rockets lost both the third and fourth quarters, for much the same reason why they struggled in the first. They weren't hitting open shots, they couldn't physically match up with the Brooklyn starters, and the defensive effort was atrocious. Also Joe Johnson had a hell of a night with 32 points.
A Couple Good Things From Tonight
He played pretty well. Made good decisions and appropriately burned the older defenders who tried to mark him. Had a great night finishing at the rim, which I felt like he had been struggling with lately.
Omer Asik
He set his career high with 23 rebounds! Dude added another entire reel to his audition tape for this summer's trade talks. We'll just cut out all the missed layups…
It was a game I'd like to forget, especially in light of the playoffs being so near. The Rockets weren't at full strength and I imagine had they been, Harden could have spent his time beard braiding and the team would have won. I'm not worried about the loss, I'm worried about how this team performed with a few players out of the lineup. It is entirely possible we will be missing Beverley for the playoffs, and we would be just one freak injury away from a roster that resembles tonight's hodgepodge, so if that happens, do we expect the Rockets to rise and attempt to overcome adversity, or succumb to defeat like they did tonight? I honestly don't know.
Tonight's statistical nitty gritty is here.
They do it again Wednesday at 6PM CST against the Raptors.

UTC student accused of illegal surveillance in campus apartments
(1) - Burglary (also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking is a crime, the essence of which is illicit entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offense.Now I know not everyone knows the basics of law but that's how the law reads. The reporter's lack of explaining this isn't poor reporting IMO, it's assuming the majority of readers have a basic grasp of law which clearly not all do. So point taken there. (2) Yes the story did explain the type of equipment. It clearly states "Surveillance cameras" so I'm not sure how you skipped over that not once, but twice. It doesn't go on to explain the intent but that's because the story hasn't progressed yet I'm sure. Who knows for sure (yet) why he wanted to spy on these people. That will likely come after investigation.(3) On the last point, I agree that smokebombs don't necessarily add up to an arson charge but it says he threw them down a "trash chute" which could obviously lead everyone to believe it was on fire so that would be my guess as to where the arson charge stems from, even though it doesn't appear that he actually set anything on fire. So point halfway taken there as well.

Turn off your caps lock and stop bragging about being a business owner. SEVERAL people are successful business owners...the US is the Entrepreneurship capital of the world. We get your point that you're not a part of the problem but it doesn't give you any credibility in this argument when you still can't spell properly or string together a decent argument against anyone who has posted so far.

what is the salary for nurse entering any field? I 'm currently a Enlisted Medical Assistant together with under salary settling. The doctors are very impressed with my resume and most of my compensation were nurses. I don't wish to disqualify myself by giving a figure but also want to be reasonable since they're just providing full health rewards, profit sharing, etc. Big difference between MA and REGISTERED NURSE An MA may find themselves starting available $. to $/hr, where an RN command significantly more. I have much more experience than a nurse. And I've never made that amount in the field. I will have the same responsibilities like a nurse with the exception of writing prescriptions. That's great, but just for grins and giggles try looking here; My O'le Lady..... was in the same field while you with the similar qualifications for around years before bringing time off give good results. When she went back to the comparable position, she started around $. /hr (Pgh, PA Region) together with was doing all the RN's work because they sat on their asses until it had been medication time. She saw a good opening in clerical/admin program and left to take that position with the same medical service provider and almost doubled her salary, as her pay grade & pay scale increased higher in the Support Staff section. Go figure that She works much less hours now, is on a steady daylight switch M-F and doesn't have all the drama and other BS. It's kind of irrelevant What they're going to offer you is within about % of what they will pay, max. So let's assume that the average salary is $k but they offer you $k. Is the average salary of $k relevant? No, cuz no matter what, they're not going to pay $k. They're not average. And you might say that knowing the average salary can help you decide if you take the responsibility, but that's not true either. If you'veoffers, you'll take the better one, even if it's below average. And if you have onlyprovide you with, well, you'll take it too, even if it is below average.
