Ideal wiard 300 size?
MUFF WIGGLER Forum Index
Ideal wiard 300 size?
br>Hey, anyone have any suggestions for an ideal wiard 300 size?
I have an 8 module system coming to me, I used to have a 6 module system about 10 years ago and absolutely loved it, i should never of gotten rid of it(one of my biggest regrets with synths...perhaps that and the jupiter 8s...)
I have the opportunity to expand it to a 20 unit system. but I'm wondering at what size do things get unmanageable?
I just slimmed down a serge set up from 6 to 4 as I felt that it wasn't ideal for me. I dont want to get into the same dilemma with Wiard(although it's better than having less than needed...) br> br>
br>I believe the system was originally for sale only as a 6 module set, and intended as a contained single instrument in the tradition of the VCS3 and the Arp 2600.
I would say that it depends entirely on your intentions as a musician as to the scope of system that
you yourself
can support. As there is a lot of effort required to keep the cogs running on a larger system, to keep things exciting for you as you won't be satisfied with making a really complex patch that then becomes too hard to unravel , and it just sits there. I've had some experiences playing live where a larger system (15 modules) was just too intimidating, and all my beautiful ideas were like words on the tip of my tongue that I wouldn't speak.
I used to have a 15 module system, and had grand plans of professional life as a musician. I made some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard on it, but ultimately the investment of myself required to put the music into it was too much. And now I'm just slimming down to a small 6 module system and music gigs for my own amusement only. br> br>
br>I hear you on the unravelling part, that's one of the issues I had, silly as it is, it's just a pain to get all the cables out after having worked on a patch. It is also kind of the beauty I think of analog modular, once it's gone, it's gone forever. br> br>
br>10 or 12 is plenty. You will run short of mixing capabilities beyond that unless you add something like the Hinton mixers, because the Mixolator is more useful as a waveform processor than a very clean mixer. The Wiard is generally a bit high on crosstalk, which is my only serious gripe with it, and if the system is small and used monophonically, it will not matter as much.
Tha said, you seem to buy and resell and rebuy systems so often that probably no advice will be as effective as your trying it out ;)
P.S. I have 11 modules plus some "periphery" like Wiard 1200 and large sequencers. That's the more effective setup IMO. It's similar to Gary Chang's in that regard. br> br>

I've never noticed that myself, and I am quite sensitive to issues like this, enough to have spent as much as 30% of my life tracking down and minimising noise in all it's forms!
I can't comment with authority but I have a sneaking suspicion with the Mixolator that there are bias currents in opamps that aren't accounted for through balancing which would make the pots more likely than normal to generate voltage noise. (that is pure speculation though). Grant was designing at a time where access to information was not quite a generous as it is now, and perhaps also he was spared from the online witch-hunts that often seem to occur!
I believe quite a few of your modules are revision A designs, so maybe they're behind by several increments. Many improvements have been made in that regard more recently, such as the use of ground planes, on board stable references, lower impedence power distribution, and of course the genius that is balancing! br> br>
br>That's partially true, most of my modules are around 13 years old now. Few Rev As though, like my Borg, whose LFOs are generally known to talk to other modules in strange ways ;) In the Classic VCO (a Rev D), I already know from an old post of Grant's that a slight change to the normalization of the Pulse wave into the VCA will remove the bleedthrough. As for the Mixolator, I'm in the process of clarifiying things, just don't have as much time as I'd like. It's not the pots, tho. Basically I hear signals in several places where I don't expect them (like the right unit in the output of the left unit, not so faintly). Maybe it's just due to shipping problems, also (it was a difficult winter). We'll see.
BTW, albeit not for any matters of sound, Grant *was* one of the earliest modular guys to receive a lot of online bashing... back in the day when decorated faceplates were almost unheard of. Glad those times are past. The dimension at which his concepts are carried on now speak for themselves. I guess if the Wiard was marketed as a "steampunk" device with its unique appearance it could even become fashionable.
And - having just one serious gripe is very little for a large system! I'm not wishing for another, on the whole. And I know those that would come into question have their own crosstalk and/ or jitter problems (especially the 200e). As I said, keeping an eye on system and patch size, and also removing modules from the PSU as long as they're not in use (thank you Grant for the DIN plugs!), already helps reducing the issue. br> br>
br>For me the ideal size is the one I currently have, 13 modules, ie two rows of modules plus a new controller.
I had a 6 module system for a few years I think before expanding it. I don't have any need to expand it - I don't find myself wishing I had one more of..whatever.
I do also have a Frac modular but generally I find the Wiard has everything I need (so that I have been finding myself having to make a conscious effort to use the frac).
So I have 4 oscillators - sometimes all get used as audio, sometimes they are used as LFOs, pulse triggers, two sequantizers which are often both used, 4 envelators (sometimes used as envelope generators, other times frquency dividers), two different filters and/or LPGs, 1 wogglebug and 1 mixolator. br> br>
br>Think there are two issues, one is physical size/mount/organization, the other is resources/functional. Some years ago I looked at both.
Initially when I was growing my system I had my system racked - but didn't like the two-tiers of cables back/forth (3 tiers or more if you add a controller). Also didn't like to grow in multiples of 6 - call me OCD - don't like holes in my instrument cabinets and money-wise it gets expensive fast to grow in multiples of 6. So I chose a custom cabinet for my system. A custom cabinet has issues, once you are at critical mass you can't grow beyond it, but I like the concept of finite instrument as opposed to a collection of modules. That's me though. I can see why racking can be much better/easier in other ways particularly if you want to change your mind about size.
Once I got that out of the way, I focused on creating functional "voicings" with the modules available. In this respect there are no rules and everyone's idea of "good organization" works here.
I classified resources into small, core, extended core and large voicings. Small can be anything you want since Wiard's modules tend to be voices on their own right. Core was 8 modules (1 of each), the extended core was 10 (core plus one Sequantizer and one Classic VCO). The next one up was something like 15 if I remember correctly (extended core plus one of each Envelator/ Wogglebug/ Mixolator/ Omnifilter/ Waveform City ). After 15, you can scale up depending on what type of music you were interested in creating. Add controller(s) at will.
My system is an extended core with an original controller (the one with Volt meter in the middle). I had Grant customize my Sequentizers by linking them together, so in effect I have a 16 step sequenzer with a switch to link/unlink. Then I also have a Dave Hylander expansion board for Waveform City that enables the selection of multiple wave chips. Having two solid VCO modules and one selectable wave-based module gave a lot of flex.
Sometimes I feel the itch to go back to 6u racking, easier to transport easier to stack, or the desire to add more modules - but found that the grouping I initially made has worked ok for me for a long time.
Hope this helps in your thinking about how to design/grow your Wiard.
br> br>
br>The only reason I believe I have reached an upper bound on size is that I had to get Ad Infinitum to make me some 5 foot cables and sometimes I still can't go corner to corner in a big patch. I also have Frac rows in between each Wiard row though, so as usual my problems are likely isolated to me.
I think you all have seen, I moved some of the 300 sized DIY to a smaller, self contained instrument and TBH I still play the big rig 10x as much. Splitting things into common voice sections with shared CV and sequencer functions in a separate area helped a lot. br> br>
br>Yep. At one point I went down the path of designing a system interface to make my system play well with others. Nowadays much cheaper/easier/better to assemble what you need from alternate formats. It's amazing all the good stuff these days. br> br>
br>The way I have my Wiard 300 set up is two rows of six with a controller (which is more then enough) then I have two rows of 1200 and 1 row with 2 anti, two "uncle" and two mix. I often use the 1200 Euro as it's own system.
I own a few spare 300 and a second controller which I have stowed away for a time (if that comes) when i hit a wall.
Because the 300 has no many multi functional modules I feel like it's best to double up if at all of the oscillators, whether classic or waveform city.

I purchased this product because my chiropractor uses it on my back with wonderful results. This really does help relieve my lower back pain. I intend to purchase more in the future.
I have been really happy with the advancement of pre-cut tape applications. I have to say, tho, that I am really unhappy with the poor sticking properties. I had 2 rolls of tape from about 6-7 years ago which I used first and it stuck great! But this new tape just won't stick at the ends very well and will not last for duration of application like the old tape. I still love the whole process and have found it extremely beneficial, but annoying when it won't stick down very long.

MIT to Design Ship for Oldendorff
Dry bulk carrier owner and operator Oldendorff Carriers has signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) to make its vessels more green and economical.Oldendorff, together with CBA and its campus collaborators including MIT's Sea Grant Program, will investigate disruptive improvements in ship design and propulsion to achieve the IMO 2030/50 requirements.The initial emphasis will be directed at improving hydrodynamic efficiency, which builds on work CBA has been doing with the aerospace and automotive industries. This looks beyond traditional naval architecture to a deeper integration of form and function.
Semi-submerged Tug Leaking Diesel after Bridge Allision
A tugboat is partially sunk and leaking diesel after alliding with a bridge in North Carolina's Oregon Inlet, the U.S. Coast Guard said.All eight people aboard the tug Miss Bonnie reached shore safely without injury after the vessel struck the Old Bonner Bridge at 11:09 a.m. on Sunday.The Coast Guard said its watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Carolina received report from a local Coast Guard 47-foot Motor Life Boat crew at approximately 10:00 a.m. on Monday that a sheen was coming from the semi-submerged tug.The maximum potential for the discharge is 6,000 gallons; however, it is estimated 3,000 gallons were on board.

Putting Palatka Back on the Map
Diverse and conveniently located, St. Johns Ship Building has quickly developed into a reliable partner for its many repeat customers. Today, and as a direct result, a lot more people know exactly where Palatka, Florida is located.On the St Johns River, just 60 miles south of Jacksonville, lies the sleepy town of Palatka, Florida. Founded as a trading post in 1821, its location on the highly navigable river made the area attractive to orange growers and timber men alike.In its heyday between 1875 and 1900, Palatka – "the gateway to Florida's interior" – was a tourist destination with several posh hotels having the capacity to host up to 6,000 guests.

I know Slayer isn't power metal necessarily but I listen to them as much as I do Blind Guardian -a lot- so it's been bugging me that nobody has tried to cover any of the old songs from the Satan's Children bootleg after all of these years. The songs recorded at Slayer's first ever concert (Before Show No Mercy was even released) are all on the bootleg and to me they're actually pretty good despite the fact that Slayer scrapped them (using parts of them in future songs) and never even recorded them in studio. That being said I myself was finally able to record a cover of one of those old songs so I thought I'd ask everyone what they though of it.
-Thanks for any feedback.

Hair of Galadriel
The Hair of Galadriel was described as golden touched with silver and seemed to shine with the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Fëanor requested a strand of Galadriel's hair three times, but she refused each time. Gimli of the Fellowship of the Ring was asked which gift he would like prior to leaving Lothlórien, and he responded:
- "'There is nothing, Lady Galadriel', said Gimli, bowing low and stammering. 'Nothing, unless it might be - unless it is permitted to ask, nay, to name a single strand of your hair, which surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine. I do not ask for such a gift. But you commanded me to name my desire'."
- ― Gimli, Farewell to Lórien
Galadriel's response surprised all of the Elves, she granted Gimli's wish and gave him three golden strands of her hair, which were later set in crystal as a "pledge of good will between the Mountain and the Wood until the end of days."[1]

Samsung Galaxy Tab
Best Access Points with same Service Set Identifier (SSID). When using Jabber over Wi-Fi in order to obtain the best possible experience, the Wi-Fi networks should be designed to minimize occurrences of layer 3 roams when the IP addresses change, resulting in long latency or roam times, dropped calls, or dropped voice packets.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
In this section, you are presented with the information needed to configure the features described in this document:
Download the Device Cisco Options Package (COP) file into the CUCM.
The COP file is required in order to make Application Dial Rules available to Jabber. Complete these steps in order to get the Device COP file:
Go to the software download site.
Locate and download cmterm-android_8.6.2v17.cop.sgn.
In order to make Jabber available as a device in CUCM, you must install a device-specific COP file on all your CUCM servers.
Complete these steps:
Place the COP file on an FTP or SFTP server that is accessible from your CUCM servers.
From the Navigation list box in the top-right corner of the CUCM Administration portal, choose Cisco Unified OS Administration, and select Go.
Select Software Upgrades > Install/Upgrade.
Specify the location of the COP file in the Software Installation/Upgrade window, and provide the required information.
Click Next.
Choose the device COP file from the Available Software list box.
Click Next.
Click Install.
Wait for the process to complete. This process may take some time.
Reboot all CUCM servers at a time of low usage.
Restart the Cisco Tomcat service on the CUCM server.
This step is required for the device icon to display properly on the device list page in CUCM. This step clears the Tomcat image cache:
Issue this command from the CLI:
utils service restart Cisco Tomcat
Allow the system to fully return to service.
Note: Install the COP file on each Subscriber server in the cluster. Use the same process you used for the Publisher, including rebooting the server.
Increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer in order to ensure that calls to the Jabber extension are not prematurely routed to the mobile-network phone number. Jabber must be running in order to receive VoIP calls.
Complete these steps:
Sign in to CUCM Administration.
Go to System > Service Parameters.
Choose the server.
Select the Cisco CallManager (Active) service.
Scroll to the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Mobility) section.
Increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer to 4500 milliseconds.
Click Save.
Note: If after you increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer, incoming calls still arrive in Jabber and are terminated and diverted using Mobile Connect, you can increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer value. The 4500 millisecond value is the lowest recommended value.
Create a dedicated SIP Profile that allows Jabber to stay connected to CUCM while Jabber is running in the background.
Complete these steps:
In CUCM, go to Device > Device Settings > SIP Profile.
Create a new SIP profile, or copy an existing SIP profile. Enter the Name and Description as shown here:
Scroll down, and set these values in the new SIP profile:
Timer Register Delta to 30
Timer Register Expires to 660
Timer Keep Alive Expires to 660
Timer Subscribe Expires to 660
Timer Subscribe Delta to 15
Save the changes.
Make sure your system meets these prerequisites:
Standard SIP and phone features such as these are set up and working independently of Jabber:
Music on hold
Music for network hold
Midcall features, including:
Call waiting
Add a call
Conference call
The ability to handle RFC 2833, Key Press Markup Language (KPML), and dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones for IVR call routing allowing users to use the keypad in order to route to the correct extension or department.
Conferencing calls using software-based conference bridges requires G.711 for all participating endpoints. Hardware-based conference bridges that use digital signal processing (DSP) on a Cisco router allow for G.729 conference participants without the use of a transcoder.
Verify that the Device Pool that you will assign to the Jabber device is associated with a region that includes support for the G.711 codec.
Complete these steps:
Sign in to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Go to Device > Phone.
Click Add New.

Enter a list of up to three SSIDs separated by forward slashes (/) in the Preset Wi-Fi Networks field.
Click Save.
Click Apply Config.
Click [Line n] - Add a new DN.
Enter the Directory Number (DN) of this device.
Note: This can be a new DN. A desk phone with the same DN is not required.
If this device is a standalone device (not sharing a DN with a desk phone), configure these settings in order to forward calls when Jabber is not running and connected to the network, so callers do not receive an error message:
Forward Unregistered Internal
Forward Unregistered External
Set the No Answer Ring Duration to 24 seconds in order to allow time for Jabber to ring before calls go to voicemail.
Click Save.
Navigate to the End User page for the user.
Associate the Cisco Dual Mode for Android device that you just created for this user.
If this user has a desk phone, select the desk phone as the Primary User Device.

Welcome the Winter Season at Parowan Gap
Where: Parowan Gap Petroglyphs National Register of Historical Sites
What: Observe the natural phenomenon that reminded the native americans of Southern Utah to prepare for the up-coming winter.
"This is the most amazing event of all the events to be observed at the Gap," said event coordinator/interpreter Nancy Dalton, who explained, "that before and after Nov. 6-8, the morning sun will pass through the Overseer's mouth, but only on these three days will the sun enter his mouth and sit, and sit, and sit and – gulp – the Overseer swallows the sun. Thus, telling the American Indian people that the Summer Sun has gone into its winter home, and if they have not prepared for winter weather, then they better be moving south quickly."
Along with watching the Summer Sun go into its winter home, the event will include a walking interpretive tour of the Gap and its many petroglyphs. Those attending the event are strongly encouraged to wear winter coats, hats and gloves, as the winter wind through the Gap can be quite chilly.

To Save Our Ecosystems, Stop Overloading Them
Nitrogen is the most common element in the atmosphere. Plants can't grow without it. Carbon is essential to life: 18 percent of a human body and 50 percent of a tree is carbon. Left alone, natural systems maintain cycles that keep these elements circulating where they're needed and in the right amounts. But we've pulled nitrogen out of the air to feed plants and put carbon, from burning coal and oil, into the air. We've thrown natural cycles out of balance. Excess carbon is heating the planet. Excess nitrogen is poisoning the air and water. In order to have the clean water, healthy ecosystems, and stable climate we need to survive, we'll have to stop overloading the systems.
(1) Humans capture N2 from the air and produce 131 million tonnes (144 million tons) of nitrogen fertilizer each year globally. This adds more nitrogen to the planet than ecosystems would use under natural conditions, busting the Earth's nitrogen budget.
(2) Excess nitrogen runs into surface and groundwater. There are now more than 95,000 square miles of dead zones in coastal waters, largely caused by nitrogen pollution.
(3) Both fossil-fuel burning and agriculture also send nitrogen pollution into the air—as N2O, another powerful greenhouse gas, and NO, a precursor to smog and acid rain.
(4) If we recycled waste (both animal manure and human waste) and used it as fertilizer, we could feed the world with the nitrogen nature produces. If we converted to renewable energy and organic agriculture, we could stop polluting the planet with excess nitrogen. Click here for more.

Thanks Seneca. I'll put up an intro.
I myself have been fighting w/ them for many years with varying success. I have a "normal" job (SSN, paychecks instead of cash, etc) like most everyone and eventually the goons go over your head and use their scare tactics on the company to start garnishing your pay. If you happen to be an independent contractor, as my close friend is, you can successfully defeat them as they have no easy choke point over you. My friend indeed has gotten an official Closing Notice from IRS after they tried to collect on several hundred thousand dollars of claimed back taxes. Is this the typical outcome? Probably not, but the more people out there fighting back, the more un-sustainable their system will become.
I couldn't in good conscience advise someone to pursue the tactics laid out at SEDM and Famguardian, since the enemy doesn't really have to play by the rules, but both are excellent resources for dealing w/ our friends in Washington in language that gets the job done.
Seattle Scotsman wrote:Seneca,
I'll try to convince my aforementioned buddy into joining Cluesforum and contributing to a taxation thread, which I can start if you'd like. He has some really good experience and is a real self taught expert in case law.
As for letter writing to the feds, I have no experience. I don't wish to discourage others in doing so, but I'm pretty far down the cynic path to send any letters.
This group:
Is a good resource for sending letters/faxes/emails to members of congress, but doesn't touch on the topics dealt w/ on this forum.
I live in a region under a regime that, whilst in no way oppressive - though this may sound contradictory - does not tolerate 'rocking of the boat' due to its tourism/travel self-image being of paramount importance.
I'd like to point out that being a cynic has in no way stopped me from being active about informing people of their rights. I suggest anybody who feels cynicism inside not allow that character trait to convince them they must also be defeatist. They are separate attitudes.

I'm not defeatist, I just don't think that approach is most useful. Again, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from letter writing at all.

Subject: NASA OIG Cyberhotline
Email: email@example.com
Type of complaint: Civil
Center Affected: All
Program Affected:
Essentially, it can't be boiled down to a particular event because it has to do with the large scale practice of manufacturing, doctoring and fabricating imagery and photos said to be evidence of NASA's accomplishments in space since at least the Apollo missions.
Because of the lack of photographic record of actual NASA accomplishments, and because whistle blower Bill Kaysing (of Rocketdyne) has not been formally acknowledged by NASA, nor thanked for his exposure of the falsified Apollo mission documents, the public is left to conclude that NASA personnel are inept or they don't care that fraud has been occurring within the organization for decades.
Do something morally correct about it: change NASA for the better, admit the falseness of the photographic record and explain why it was necessary. Explain it in a formal public statement of some kind.
The feigned celebrations of fantasy imagery must be put to an end. NASA may also have to be reported to the Treasury Department and other government bodies.
Thank you for your long overdue compliance,

Program Support Specialist
You may use the following form to submit your complaint or you may phone, fax, or mail your complaint. Prior to submitting your complaint to the Treasury OIG Hotline, we recommend you review the information located on the main Treasury OIG Hotline page.
Per Treasury Employee Rules of Conduct, 31 C.F.R. §0.207, and Treasury Order 114-01, all Treasury employees and officials are under the affirmative duty to report to the Inspector General any complaints or information concerning the possible existence of any activity constituting a violation of law, rules or regulations relating to the Department. Please be aware that if you intentionally report false information to the Treasury OIG, in some instances, you may be subject to possible criminal or civil penalties. We may make disclosures of information you submit to other parties, including other Federal and State law enforcement agencies, as necessary to complete our investigation, or as required under Federal law. We may also refer your allegation to the appropriate law enforcement agency if we believe you have alleged a criminal or civil violation within their jurisdiction.
You are not required to complete all of the presented information fields. Completion of the fields that are strongly recommended are marked by a * red asterisk. If you wish to elect anonymity or confidentiality, select the appropriate options within Part I of the form and follow the corresponding instructions. Please keep in mind that your decision to elect anonymity may limit our ability to conduct a complete investigation, if one is warranted.
*Who committed the alleged misconduct/wrongdoing? Include the full name, title/position, and the affected Treasury bureau, office, or program regarding each alleged Subject
STRATCOM and all associated Command bases put into power by the signing of the 1947 Truman Doctrine act, The Air Force, NASA and the FBI are defrauding taxpayers and the United States Treasury by failing to cough up the true authors of their official images, which they claim are photographs, and failing in their investigation of unsubstantiated media reports of the subjects and associated events (or falsified events) below.
*Describe what the individual(s) did that was wrong? Provide specific and relevant details concerning the alleged misconduct or wrongdoing
Because of the fraudulent and doctored imagery of respective stories listed below, and the Air Force, NASA and FBI's omission or failure of intelligence to vet the doctored imagery as such (instead claiming it is real photography rather than cartoons) both the identity of the "photographers" and the entire existence of these documented things are thrown into question as mere propaganda efforts meant to bend public will — and because of the prevalance of such it is indicative that the public would not approve and would not want these:
- The alleged hijackers and passengers of the four 9/11 airplanes (said to be flights 175, 11, 93, 77)
- The alleged occupants of the World Trade Center building at the time the buildings are said to have come down, including the over 3,000 reported victims (inexplicably reduced to a final number of 2,972) and firefighters
- The 9/11 WTC rubble, where there was supposed to be some kind of investigation the public had no access to
- The space shuttle launches and their missions to the boondoggle called Hubble and the bright light source in the sky called the International Space Station (are we to believe the ISS has a cloaking device which prevents telescopic lenses from capturing non-doctored photographs of it?)
- The Apollo "moon" missions, for which whistleblower William Kaysing of Rocketdyne should be a household name, if NASA would do the right thing and admit their wrongdoing, which was exposed by Kaysing decades ago
- The nuclear explosion tests, doctored up like a Disney special effects reel, and said to be "proof" of atomic weapons
- Presidential and other meetings between U.S. department heads with foreign diplomats, wherein the meetings look constructed and falsified
The taxpayers should never be called to, and cannot be expected to pay for, any scams involving their employees — which the Federal government entirely are by all legal definition, make no mistake. No phony science effort, phony threat (local, foreign or otherwise) or phony stories that cause our nation's very legislation to be modified without tacit confirmed and public approval of real facts can be permitted in our free society of a government by and for the people; hence, the falseness of 9/11, the space race, the nuclear bomb scare and the false documentation of the activities of its leadership itself are crimes of unimaginable magnitude for the American people. I am choosing to write to you about this matter as I've already written the White House, NASA and the IRS. Without corrective action at the direct finance level (i.e.; the operators of the Treasury) the propaganda-like misinformation is immorally and illegally "permitted" to continue. You can and must put a stop to it.
*How was the misconduct or wrongdoing committed? (e.g. falsifying documents, etc.)
All of these relationships are presumed relevant, but the precise nature of the relationships and agreements between our government and these is rather critical public information [we should know their full roles] :
The Council on Foreign Relations, policy advice
The Trilateral Commission, policy advice
[Le Cercle], policy advice
PNAC, policy advice
RAND/MITRE/CIA, policy advice, public relations, information operations
Rockwell Collins, public relations, security contracts and aerospace and military simulation
Lockheed Martin, security and aerospace contracts
Boeing, security and aerospace contracts
Oracle, security contracts and [...?]
One or all of these may be involved in the fabrication, falsification and obfuscation of identities involved: the identities of alleged government employees, the identities of so-called "terrorists" and/or real agents of psychological terrorism working as government employees against American values. This growing problem of secrets upon secrets that civilians are not privy to indicates those that are hiding their identity do not stand for American values of freedom and justice, but for a technocratic oligarchy that preys on the global populace, pretending to be the best friend of humanity and humanitarianism.
*Do you know of efforts made thus far to correct the problem and/or the current status of the problem?
Bill Kaysing wrote a book about the corruption within NASA both leading to and stemming from faked imagery of accomplishments that never occurred. [...] It seems as though the agencies responsible for their hoaxes are witty enough to create false whistleblowers that will never discuss the core problem of fabricated deceptive imagery. Hence, the management of such useless, fearmongering characters as William Cooper, Alex Jones and Michael Moore -- none of whom discuss the total visual fabrication of various agenda subjects.
Since that time, the false, computer-animated "Robin Hood" characters of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are said to have "exposed fraud" while they themselves must be managed by the same agents in the psychological operation.
If those inventing fake terrorists, fake victims and fake heroes are doing so to artificially widen the gap between the government and its civilian population, to prevent collaboration and force some kind of misunderstanding between us, these people may be considered traitors to the United States of the highest order and must be placed on public trial immediately. Otherwise, the United States public has every right to create a revolution and overthrow the powers keeping such corruption in place.
If you would like to reach out to the public for collaborators in bringing the frauds to justice, frauds who would terrify the world and force them into its rather lawless technocratic fiefdom, please feel free to contact me at my present address (given above).
This writing also serves as my formal request for your Departments' response to the matter.
*Where can we obtain additional information concerning this misconduct/wrongdoing? (e.g. supporting documentation, etc.) Additionally, who else might be aware of this misconduct/wrongdoing? Please provide names and contact information of any witnesses who may have more information. Explain how these individuals would possess more information and their relationship to the alleged problem
If you visit http://www.cluesforum.info, you will find a group of volunteer citizen watchdogs who have found and documented a vast number of problems with the specific imagery, and even a number of particular corporations and names of those responsible for defrauding the public.
Their efforts to raise awareness about the false, simulated victims of 9/11 and the lack of any substantial evidence for any 9/11 flights — including the incredible lack of existence of final flight manifests for any of the four alleged airplanes allegedly hijacked and crashed on September 11th, 2001 — has been successful in reaching out to various people around the world but not yet in government. A simplified version of the research in the form of the documentary "September Clues" by Simon Shack has been translated to over 10 languages and counting.
As independent artists, writers, essayists and thinkers with professional levels of expertise in a wide variety of applicable skills (such as sound, video and animation) many members would be able to explain to anyone in plain language willing to listen. I have been an administrator at CluesForum since its foundation and I would be happy to speak with any member of government willing to listen to our story.
Please do not let your lack of willingness to listen to citizens take over or destroy the government. Build a working, communicative relationship with the peace loving citizens of the world, including ourselves, and which we hope you are too.
Please suspend funding from and audit immediately STRATCOM, the departments of the Air Force, FBI and NASA responsible for hoaxing the American population and waging a psychological terrorist war against the world's imagination and love of peace.
As an American citizen, you are my employees, and I will certainly demand better of you and support you in your quest for a more honest, moral and decent government, until it's accomplished. All you need to do, if you recognize the wrongdoing that you have not been able to report for whatever reason, is ask for help from your people.

Statement by the Sabin Vaccine Institute on the introduction of the "End Neglected Tropical Diseases Act"
On June 11, 2014, Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) introduced a bipartisan bill in the House of Representatives to support the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in the United States and abroad. H.R. 4847, the "End Neglected Tropical Diseases Act," calls for the expansion of USAID's NTD program; increased U.S. Government advocacy for NTDs among international development and financing institutions; reporting from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on NTDs in the United States; the creation of one or more NTD centers of excellence to increase research and development (R&D); and the establishment of a panel on intestinal worm infections, one of the most pervasive NTDs.
Cosponsors include Congressmen Hank Johnson (D-GA), Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Matt Salmon (R-AZ).
Sabin Vaccine Institute President, Dr. Peter Hotez:
"This bill offers real promise for the more than one billion impoverished people worldwide – including U.S. citizens – currently suffering unnecessarily from NTDs. Even with medicines already available to protect against the most common NTDs, and groundbreaking R&D initiatives underway, greater prioritization for treatment delivery, scientific discovery and other cost-effective investments are necessary to defeat these devastating diseases once and for all. I applaud Congressman Chris Smith's leadership in raising the profile of NTDs, spotlighting neglected populations and championing the necessary actions to close the remaining gaps through this legislation. I urge other Congressional leaders, global policymakers and private partners to offer their support for this historic effort by joining the fight against some of today's most pernicious diseases."
Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, Managing Director Dr. Neeraj Mistry:
"The U.S. government has been instrumental in supporting the elimination of NTDs through USAID's NTD Program and its engagement in the landmark public-private partnership known as the London Declaration on NTDs. This bill reaffirms the U.S. commitment to controlling and eliminating NTDs through an evidence-based approach to build up capacity in endemic countries and increase investment effectiveness through better coordination and integration with other development sectors, such as those focusing on safe water, nutrition, and maternal and child health. By closing the key funding gaps for treatment and R&D outlined in this bill, we can achieve major NTD control and elimination targets globally by the end of this decade and thus help usher in widespread socio-economic growth. Government, pharmaceutical, corporate and non-profit partners worldwide must continue working together to achieve the London Declaration objectives."

We thought 4th Design later redeemed itself with the release of the T-type 3, a clean-cut aluminum bumper with a big emphasis on minimalist styling. And now, it appears as though the company has lost all of its marbles by releasing yet another aluminum machined bumper case called the Trigger. Forget about the words like 'simplistic' and 'Apple-esque' - the Trigger is one gaudy-looking, overly masculine piece of an outdoorsy fashion statement of sorts. Can it punch nails into wood? Does it open up beer bottles and turn into brass knuckles? You're about to find out in our full review down below!

A Multi-Attribute Model for Audit Evaluation*
Theodore J. Mock
University of Southern California

Decisionetics, Inc.
This paper concerns research directed at the development of a general procedure for assessing an overall, meaningful measure of the quality of an audit engagement from a systematic integration of several evaluative characteristics.
Such a measure can serve as a key input for audit planning and cost-benefit analysis in complex assessment situations. The technical approach is based upon the creation and application of a hierarchical multi-attribute evaluation (MAE) model that decomposes an audit into manageable parts which can be analytically assessed and combined.
The importance of the need to parameterize and measure the quality of various audit procedures and their role in the overall process of evaluating audit evidence is widely recognized in the field. Accounting firms and their clients are continually striving to develop and refine useful criteria for assessing audit effectiveness. For example, Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. (1976, p. 150) highlight a research opportunity objective to develop:
. . . measures of effectiveness for individual and related sets of auditing procedures that take into account ... the anticipated quality of evidence derived from their use.
Such auditing procedures include (p. 9):
... all of the tools, techniques and procedures used to examine information . . . The methods for reporting the results of the examination,
because, no matter how thorough and effective the examination, in the end a user can only rely on the assurance that is actually communicated by the auditor's report. Additionally, audit methods encompass all of the supporting functions and procedures used to plan, control, and carry out an audit.
At a more general level, the American Institute of CPAs has shown a continuing interest in audit quality and firm quality control practices. For

A lot of WoW Bloggers I know of suffer from Altitus wherein they have so many alts and appear to have a hard time trying to focus on one. While I do have multiple healer alts myself, I've maximized my time accordingly and powered them individually so that they are all fairly high level characters. All of them (sans the Druid) are capable of healing Black Temple and Mount Hyjal on their own.
But this post isn't about Altitus. I suffer from a unique ailment.
I'm afflicted with Blogitus.
There are more WoW blogs out there than Netherweave on the auction house. All it takes is a really killer idea in a niche to set it apart from the rest (so that we don't end up with another hunter or another druid blog. Not that they're bad or anything). I quickly examined Blog Azeroth and my reader to try and find out what already existed. Class blogs were out of the question so it boiled down to what I thought people might be interested before mentally shooting it down.
Herez Pilton
What it could've been: It's a play on words off of two different things. The celebrity gossip website Perez Hilton and the in game character Haris Pilton.
Why it got rejected: How much effort and how much entertainment would all that drama actually be? Perez spends 18 hours a day chasing down leads and photos. For this to really work, I'd have to spend copious amounts of time on the WoW Realm forums daily. I don't have that kind of time to offer, unfortunately.
What it could've been: A site with numerous healer bloggers culd go and contribute. Would have featured multiple authors and guest posts from favourite names in the community.
Why it got rejected: Difficult to micromanage. Don't have the resources or the time to invest in it as much as I'd want. Would have to score major cooperation from other writers. Although, I might actually explore this idea later in the future. I'm a chronic project starter.
What it could've been: Nothing more than a rant blog about bad raids and bad guilds. Diary style. Similar to Waiter Rant. It would've been day-to-day entries from a raider and 5 minute windows of their raid life. Probably would've been updated once or twice a week to help avoid stagnation.
Why it got rejected: My Guild isn't at the point where I want to rant about them on a weekly basis. A blog like this needs to have some diversity. Readers would tire quickly about stories about the Mage that can't tank Gruul's or the idiot hunter who can't seem to click cubes. Has to be some randomness and the writer has to be able to captivate the audience.
What it could've been: An extremely narrow focused blog about consumables, items, gear, and such. Would've talked about gear guides, where to get them, combinations, criticisms and so forth.
Why it got rejected: Almost as exciting as watching a Holy Paladin and a Resto Druid duel.
The Battle Standard
What it could've been done: All PvP talk, all the time, with news, opinion, highlight reel finishers and so forth about Arenas, BGs, and world PvP.
Why it got rejected: I have to actually PvP. I have enough time to either PvP or raid. I can't do one or the other really well. I also need to have some credibility and having a low arena rating doesn't do much to inspire justice (although ~1550 in BG9 actually isn't that bad).
Now that's not to say that any of these ideas are bad. I merely listed why they were bad for me (at least for now). I think a cunning and motivated blogger could take any of these ideas and make it work really well.
With this in mind, what types of unorthodox WoW blogs can you think of?

These die cut stickers are designed specifically for the dimensions of the Erin Condren Vertical Life Planner and can also be used in other planners with columns the same width such as The Happy Planner and Kikki-K planners with suitable inserts (column widths of 1.5"). They are also perfect for those using travelers notebooks or bullet journal systems.
Processing & Shipping InfoFor the latest info on Processing & Shipping times and costs, please visit our Shipping page.
About Our VinylThe vinyl used in our stickers is premium surface giving a beautiful shine and rich colour prints, available in matte or gloss. The adhesive is removable, meaning you can stick it in your planner and peel it up without tearing the paper. Even over the top of other stickers. It is VERY forgiving, taking some of the nervousness of planning with stickers away!!
As with all vinyls, not all pens are suitable. I recommend fine point markers such as the Sharpie Ultra Fine Permanent Marker. Ball point biros can work too although markers look nicer. Gel pens typically don't work as the ink can't settle into the vinyl, so they just smudge.

Plan It Beautiful uses a mix of sources:
- Purchased drawings from other artists.
- Commercially purchased photographs.
- Original artwork, drawn exclusively by our classically & formally trained team.
- Photographs taken by our own team.

Sometimes in the rush to find the latest and greatest solutions to power quality problems, we forget about some of the older technologies that have helped facilities managers tame their cranky electrical systems for years. These tools did their job and they can still be useful in certain situations today. This month, John DeDad, EC&M's editorial director, dusts off the PQ toolbox and gives us all a history lesson.
Q. While conducting an on-site inspection for an IT facility renovation, we ran across a piece of equipment our client called a "magnetic synthesizer." It was part of the original power distribution system. What is it and what function did it provide relative to the IT room power supply?
DeDad's answer: Magnetic synthesizers were used to protect against oscillatory transients and sags and swells. Some manufacturers still have magnetic synthesizers in the product line. When equipped with a lightning arrestor accessory, they protect against voltage surges. They don't protect a critical load against a complete power outage, but via a limited stored energy capability using capacitors, they can provide ride-through, typically to one cycle. Battery backup capabilities permit additional operating time.
These devices use ferromagnetics (pulsed transformers and inductors) and capacitors to synthesize a high-quality 3-phase output, using only the input as a source of energy. The output is fully isolated from imperfections in the input power. They can also maintain a reduced capacity of 3-phase power if one input phase is lost, but the angle between output phases won't be 120°.
The only moving parts and semiconductor devices are located in their controls. A typical installation would include a synthesizer combined with a static switch and a reliable, synchronized alternate power supply, such as a second utility line feed. The static transfer switch would transfer to the alternate source in about a quarter cycle, providing uninterrupted power to sensitive electronic equipment. This would eliminate the need for a UPS.
A magnetic synthesizer typically has the following operating characteristics:
It can operate with an input voltage range as low as ±40% or more of the nominal voltage.
Output power factor remains in the range of 0.96 or higher from half to full load.
Because it regenerates an output voltage waveform, output distortion, which is typically less than 4%, is independent of any input voltage distortion, including notching (Figure above).
Efficiency at full load is typically in the range of 89% to 93%.
Minimum maintenance is required beyond annual replacement of failed capacitors. Redundant capacitors built into the units allow several capacitors to fail between inspections without any noticeable effect to the device's performance.
Output voltage varies about 1.2% for every 1% change in supply frequency. For example, a 2-Hz change in generator frequency, which is very large, results in an output voltage change of only 4%, which has little effect for most loads.
It accepts 100% single-phase switch-mode power supply loading without any requirement for derating, including all neutral components.
Input current distortion remains less than 8% THD even when supplying nonlinear loads with more than 100% current THD.
Q. We've experienced voltage variations at our facility that have caused equipment to malfunction and our manufacturing process to unexpectedly shut down. The installation of voltage regulators has been mentioned as a possible solution to our problem. Are constant voltage transformers considered voltage regulators? If so, can we use them to counter the voltage variations coming from our utility supply?
DeDad's answer: Although the constant voltage transformer (CVT) represents the oldest form of regulation, it's simple and works well. Basically, a CVT supplies a stable output voltage through a range of current loadings within the rating of the CVT. Sometimes referred to as a "saturable magnetic device," the CVT is a ferroresonant transformer with a core designed to saturate. In other words, a CVT accepts energy into its core, flooding it in such a way that the output is a flat voltage that's stable across a range of input load currents, from light load to heavy load conditions.
That said, you must be careful with its application because the CVT is a product of its time. In other words, its design and application are based on sine wave load characteristics dating to a time when harmonic interaction wasn't yet a prominent phenomenon, as it is today.
Using a CVT has some major drawbacks. First, you can't apply it in an environment with a high harmonic load spectrum unless you considerably oversize it or have the manufacturer include design modifications that ensure harmonic content compensation.
Also, the load range of a CVT has an upper limit. If you exceed that limit, the CVT may actually slowly reduce its output to zero in order to self-protect the circuit. You can avoid this performance trait, known as current limiting effect, by sizing the maximum load the CVT can handle to as much as 80% of the full-load rating of the unit. This oversizing also helps in handling any harmonics present that haven't been compensated for by the CVT manufacturer.
Finally, a CVT's efficiency will be low if its loading is very light. Remember, a CVT uses energy to saturate its core. Normal efficiencies for fully loaded units should be in the high 80% range, and even as high as 92%. On the other hand, efficiencies under light loads may drop down to between 45% and 50%. If you size the load somewhere in the middle, a CVT will operate under most conditions, giving up some efficiency points to an average of between 75% and 80%.

Say hello.
This is my super nifty itty bitty sealed sandwich maker. It makes four bite-sized sandwiches that are all sealed up like perfect tiny pockets of yumminess. I like to call them sandwich ravioli.
This is not a new gadget. I've been eyeing it online for years. A few things caused me to pause on purchasing it: I was doubtful it would really work, I was leary of how much bread it might waste, and the price was high (I recall it being $22 on jbox, back when they were the only bento retailer around). But recently it had caught my eye again, and lately I've been thinking about how handy it would be to have tiny sandwiches sometimes, and, and, and, I'm a sucker for cute lunch gear, let's just be honest. So I ordered it for $11.99. And crossed my fingers.
When it came I was shocked (astonished!!) by the size of it. It's big. Really big. (yes, that's what she said). Especially in the world of bento supplies, where everything is so little and petite, and usually surprisingly small. But this sucker is king-sized. Check it out next to a Lunch Punch -
But really, that's the only thing even semi-negative I have to say about it.
It's practically perfect otherwise.
My worries about whether it would really work were wiped away quickly - because it works splendidly! I have blasted through half a loaf of bread playing with it already. My freezer stash is in
Here's a quick run-down of how it works. It looks like a lot of steps, but they are quick and easy!
Step 1. place a slice of bread in the bottom section of the Mini Sandwich Maker.
Step 2. put the top piece of the Mini Sandwich Maker over the bottom piece and press gently.
Step 3. now you have outlined areas to add your sandwich filling.
Step 4. add sandwich fillings to the center of each outlined square.
Step 5. place another slice of bread on top.
Step 6. put the top piece of the Mini Sandwich Maker over the bottom and press (very!) firmly with all your might!
Step 7. Open the Mini Sandwich Maker.
Step 8. Lift the mini sandwiches out of the Mini Sandwich Maker, separate from the scraps.
Ooh and ahh at your adorable eensy weensy cutie pie mini sandwiches!
Congratulations, you've just made quadruplets!
Now it's time to tuck these babies in a lunchbox. :)
