Pulse

Frequency

I asked a simple question. "What is sound frequency?"

I got a great answer over at Yahoo's Answer site. But, the question extends beyond sound. Light has a frequency too. The building you're in has a frequency. YOU have a frequency.

I think I determined from my gathering of information the true and absolute answer.

Frequency, is the "timing of pulse."

60 hertz per second, 11 hertz, 7 hertz, stop it hertz.

It is all a timing thing. When the wave comes back, the way to augment it with as little as much of power as possible, is to have the correct timing. EXACT timing preferred.

In exact timing just means it will take MORE time. Perfect timing means it will take the EXACT amount of time. Perfect timing also reveals that the proper amount of energy will produce the proper amount of result. We do not get free energy in this world. BUT, we do get a lot of frequency not from this world that can be amplified, or harnessed, for it's use. We have neglected to look at timing as a way to augment this frequency from outside of our world.

Musician's: You know that feedback can split your ears. You all know what it is. When energy is applied inappropriately, we get an inappropriate response.

Nerdic Fascination


Musicians always seem to have "a little more"...


Have you ever noticed that many musicians seem to have another side to them which is simply fascinating. Many have this "mind" or "third eye" if you will.


I think mine is Free Energy, Tesla Experiments, making electricity from Solar, Wind, Compressed Air, Pendulums.


Right now I'm studying Nicola Tesla. And some things about me in my life were remembered.


--- notes ---



Alternating currents is the key. Light seems to be part of the result. When i was a young boy I would go into the swimming pool, and for fun I would push off the side of the pool with my feet, as I let go with my hands. I would hurry back to the wall and repeat it. Soon, a wave would grow, and as I timed it right, I could make a huge wave with very little effort. I used the wave's motion and momentum to move the water back and forth, and eventually a great amount of water would leave over the edge. I think this is how Tesla used alternating currents, vibration or momentum for energy. I need to study more perhaps.


I do also want to mention the effect like I described when it comes to sound. The feedback from a microphone picking up it's own signals from the amplifier seem to build up in intensity. I just am mentioning this with respect to alternating current energy, or energy in general.
(Nikola Tesla is pictured above)

July 4, 1776



Did you know there were two versions of the Declaration of Independence?



The US Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787.

The Declaration of Independence was actioned on July 4, 1776.

Some say that the Declaration of Independence is as important in deciding law as the Constitution itself.

When you read the Declaration of Independence, are there any similarities to our government today? Is there a reason to celebrate our freedom if we have returned to the days prior to our Declaration of Independence?

I think more people put emphasis on our Constitution, when it is our freedom we actioned on July 4, 1776 that made us a new, free and unique nation. I hope on July 4 of this year, you will find time to read it and the versions contemplated in Congress.

Yes, there was more than one version of the Declaration of Independence (see the link below).

The Declaration of Independence


IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776


The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

A new USA


Internet plus USA equals a true democracy


Since we now have the Internet, why not have the people run this country in a true democratic fashion? For the transition, we could add the American people as the Fourth Branch of government, with new Constitutional powers. We vote on laws, or at least know every law that is coming before the other three branches.


Who is for that?


What could we add to make this idea work?


One step at a time, and we will see an even greater country emerge. Your opinion and insight is the next step. Pass the idea around in discussion groups. Post your thoughts.

Two Dadd's


What I have to say about having 2 Dad's

(Please Note: that most of my life from age 5 to now (almost 40 years) I never knew my biological father. I knew who he was, where he lived, what I was told, and even had a visit or two with him. That is who this letter is for, my biological father. The man I call "Dad" would be the man who is not my biological father.)

Dear (This is where I get stuck, and it is easier to just walk away and continue on living),

It is Father's Day.

I am a man of many words, but why I get stuck on this letter I'll never know why.

I will write, then edit my words. If you see this part, then I did not edit anything.

I think it is right to call one man Father, but I seem to have two. The reason I never developed a relationship outside of my immediate family was convenience. That is right. It was my choice.

But that choice was not made by deciding whether I liked you or not. From where I stand, you seem like a real good person. My choice was made because the path of least resistance was how I found myself living. Sure, I had dreams. Sure I wanted more things. But I am where I am at by the choices I made.

Today, I chose to do a little different and write to you Dad. It surely is not easy, and is definitely not the path of least resistance. Mom never stopped me from calling you, or writing you. As you know, Mom has passed away.

In today's society, everyone blames the the Father for this, and the Mother for that. But the simple truth is I never cared too much to talk to anyone in my younger years of life. I had a few very close friends. I hated holidays when Mom would shove the phone in my face to talk to the relatives. I thought that was normal. But as I am older, I see she was just trying to develop me.

I still am searching for the right word to call you. To call you Ron is not polite. I reserve Dad for Dad. I will keep thinking. Nothing has escaped my mind yet, except a little common sense from time to time.

I guess what makes this so difficult to do is that I have no one to blame but myself. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the tranquility and time I get to spend alone. Really, it is nor sarcasm. Very few people in life are happy being the “lone wolf.” Often the “lone wolf” is looked at as lucky, but often as sad too. I guess to explain how I am as a person seems like I am justifying my actions, or lack thereof. Just know that I am okay.

When a boy argues with his Mother, I think that boy should show signs of his Father. Mom told me one time that I did remind her of you. I think it had more to do with my style of arguing than the actual argument. Where I lost in argument was that I had no man standing next to me to know how I felt. I am not speaking of whether I was right or wrong, but someone who knew how I was as a person (sure, Mom knew about her half of the DNA, but she was experienced at using it). I had no one there who represented me in personality. Sure, I had justice (parental justice), I had the man code, I had many things, except the DNA which would help my case out a bit.

It sounds like I am blaming you, or Mom. But I am not. I just hope other boys who read this will understand why they need a father that is biological to them. When I was younger, I only knew that I wanted to be left alone. Sometimes I still want to be left alone. If tomorrow turns out the same as yesterday, then usually I am happy. That is the easy path.

As I get older, I want to take the best path, easy or not. Now that I am older, I will not need my parents to tell me what to do, or how to do it. When I was younger, I did. And when I was told what to do, I was defiant.

Well, I do not know how welcome this letter is received. I think the important thing is that I think my Dad, Wayne, the man who raised me, did the best he could. There surely is something to said about a man being cut from the same cloth, but I do not know about this.

By the way, this guy came to my house and asked me if I wanted to have the address painted out on the curb. So, I asked him if I could get the Steelers logo put out there. I wanted something people could see, not really small. Dadd, I was shocked. I have two Steelers Logos out there that seem like billboards! I know this sounds funny to you, but I live in Dallas! Lol! I just wonder when someone is going to spray paint some graffiti on it?

By the way, I think I found my answer. Dadd. You are Dad with two d's. It sounds the same, spelled differently, not by much, and still is respectful.

Love Your Son, Gary

Peace Out, The Compusician

(PS In the note above I was going to say that I have only called one man "Dad." But that would be wrong since I cannot remember what I was saying before I was age 5, but I am sure that I called him Dad too.)

Picture


I was doing some house cleaning and came across an old photo.


Wouldn't it be nice if we could put photos and works of art alongside the people and faces at a website like Ancestry.com?


I understand the problem would be someone attributing work to someone who did not do it or want it.

Zyzzyva is a word


Find words for your song or poem


I like this program called, "Zyzzyva." I think it was originally used to help with games or puzzles, but it helps me with finding words for my music.


I wish it had a "syllable" parameter, but knowing that when a vowel sounds, it is a good possiblity that another syllable is sounding. It does have many parameters for you to filter or screen the dictionary for the words you need.


I usually am faced with needing a word starting with a specific letter. I would love for it to pertain to the subject I am writing about (ie: LOVE, CONSTRUCTION WORKER, and whatever else).


You will find this tool a great compliment to the tools you already have for writing great songs.

Quixote


I have found myself in a book, Don Quixote


While it seems not too much of a great way to compliment ones self, it is important that ones self recognizes who he is.

How I befell on this situation was my quest to write more meaningful songs. I figure it would be just great if I used the top 100 Classics of all time. I would read the Cliff Notes version (or the “Wiki” Version) and make some of my songs this way.

As I read, I realized that this guy Don Quixote is about how I am in life. I only know part of the plot in the book at this point, so if he (Mr. Quixote) is a horrible man, please know that I am not. I feel that one person can change the world. I feel that my voice is heard. I do not let reality become an obstacle in my quest. Everything is practical, as long as I can do it. Every dream can be a reality. One difference I see is that I do not place too much importance on love. I wished I did, but I see love and relationships as obstacles (unless you find the right woman). I guess my perfect girl would be talented with an angels voice, or somehow musically inclined. Bonnie did like Clyde, a lot, so I guess I seek the one who loves adventure, but is not one to go along for just the ride (she has to drive a little).

No one reads this crap, so it does not matter much to me that I reveal a little about myself from time to time. And if I ever do achieve some kind of status in music, you'll have even more crap to read. (Like, “How did he do it?” - We sent man to the moon, cured hundreds of diseases, but how did Gary get good at music???). I should have been a comedian.

I have not read the whole story, nor know what happened... yet. When I get some of these other songs finished up, that will be my quest. I just wanted to blog that I noticed something interesting about myself. I was always taught that I could do anything I want in this world. But my personality of trying to find the easy way to get things done is in direct conflict of achievement.

The only options become to do more, to become angry, or to change. I have done the first two, so change seems to be in order. All is not lost. I will take my experience with me, and during this travel into change (for the better I hope), I will be able to use what I have learned. That is what makes the difference.

And if it makes no difference, then I will have read and understood the top 100 Novels of all time.

Peace Out, The Compusician

PS I ran for President against John McCain and Barak Obama (and 200 others) in 2008. But during that whole time I was really in it to learn, not to win. I think that in itself is the difference between what I was seeing, and what others were seeing. It is also worthwhile to note that this “difference” in vision is what makes a man a doer, and another man a dreamer. I will always be both.

Lady's Letter


A Ladies' Letter, Janet from Arizona, as sent to Glenn Beck



I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.


Glenn Beck's Common Sense - Now available in book stores nationwide...


Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal health care. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why -- what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try -- please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some non politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to "unintelligently" ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Iran in the news


Iranians protest election result


People, when pushed far enough, will set aside their lives to correct the path of the country they love. Leaders and government are not the country, people are the country, and leaders are in that group. We send our leaders to the capital to take care of business that we do not have time to do. We want our leaders to represent us well. And when leadership fails the people, the people will not fail their country.


I love the fact that Iranians are willing and able to stand, and to fight for their beliefs. I think the world is watching, hoping, and cheering you on. Iranians, you have the power to teach the world. You have the power to make a difference.


Lastly, I think more people need to get out and vacation in other countries. You may find that people, ordinary people, are just the same as we are. You may find that their problems, triumphs, and lives are very similar. Maybe we should let our governments hate each other, while people, ordinary people, love each other.


Whether Iranians win or lose in their efforts, just know that you are loved by many ordinary people all over the world. We are watching. We are learning.


Peace Out, Love The Compusician

Thought for today


Here's a thought for today, yesterday and tomorrow as well:


"It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." -Voltaire, philosopher (1694-1778)



----

I think I spend too much time, as others do also, worrying about how bad times are becoming. I sometimes wonder what it gets me if I am proved to be right. If I claim a meteor is coming, and I rant and rave, I behave like an animal, and then that day does come. I am proved right. What happens? Does everyone throw a party and congratulate me? Do I get a front row seat to the event?

Everyone knows that people in power are corrupt. It is human nature. They have children too(the corrupt ones). And it is human nature to want to protect and to provide for their family. To do this they must secure their future by making restrictive laws. We have seen this in history time and time again. Power is a sickness much like gambling is to the gambler.

If we were to fix today's problems, it would take only a matter of another 100 years to ruin it all again. I do not mean to sound defeatist here, but if you look at the bigger picture, then you will know everything will be just fine.

I do want to mention that it was government the freed the slaves. It was government that defeated Hitler and his army.

Don't trust the man who tells you everything you want to hear, but give some credence to the man who will do it.

Peace Out, And God Bless Glen Beck for what he is attempting to accomplish. The Compusician

P.S. God Bless all of those who are trying to make this world a better place for the next generation. It was done for us many times, and sometimes we must make the sacrifices for the future generations. No one lives forever.

NAR track

What is a NAR track?

A NAR track, or often called a, Nare Track, is the first track in a sequencer that the artist will use to communicate with the listener of that particular song. It is often helpful for people who do remixes to get vital information pertaining to the song.

You cannot hear the Nar track (track 1 in the sequencer) unless you have the stems for the song. And then, the Nar track is muted. Just "un mute" the track and hear the artist speak.

Additional uses for the Nar track are commercials. It would be a great idea for business that supports the artist to throw in their tag line, pitch line, or just a commercial snippet.

The whole idea is that when you buy a song, you buy the song stems, and get more for your money. You may get an exclusive peak into the lives of the band. And get this, when you do a remix, put your own Nar track in there Mr. DJ, to either add on to the already existing Nar track, or to perhaps make another track available, then mute it.

Peace Out, The Compusician

Hot Young Italian Star on the rise


Isabo would make great Lara Croft


There is talk on the streets of Megan Fox replacing Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in the movie series called Tomb Raider. May I suggest to those in the know that there is actually a better replacement out there. Her name is Isabo.

Isabo is a young Italian pop star, and has done some national movies. Acting, Singing, and her resemblance to the video game character is astounding.

You can look her up on the net, or check her website out at www.Isabo.it

Bubonic Plague


Bubonic Plague


Sometimes I gander at what the most popular search terms are on a day to day basis to discover new news before it hits the news media.


When the Swine Flu was out on the news stand and on TV, it appeared first on the search engines. I think this is also how Governments try to find an epidemic, by seeing what search terms are placed into Google.


Yahoo! has indicated that the word "Bubonic" is coming up very frequently. It will be interesting to see where and why this anomaly is happening.


The Compusician gives this story no Compy Award, but it is an interesting and developing story.

Compusician Award for Obama

Compusician Award for President Obama

He tells the people what they want to hear

President Obama tells people what they want to hear. He told the Unions. He told Israel. He told Iran, Russia, and all countries what they want to hear. There is anything wrong with this, unless he is intentionally deceiving people. I do not think he is doing this.

Friday I was at work with black folk. I get along with all people so race is not an issue. However, I mentioned, “I noticed Obama simply tells the people what they want to hear,” and instantly a worker commented that Bush did the same thing.

I was taken off guard because we were talking about Obama not Bush. So I asked which Bush. That took him off guard, because his response was automatic, and awaiting argument.

No argument here. I think all politicians do it. They tell the people what they want to hear. President Obama is the master of this. I hope he honors his words. But, it does become impossible to do everything for everyone at some point, yes?

I wish him and YOU, luck.

Peace Out, The Compusician

Compusician gives award for Riddle


Compusician gives award for famous Riddle


"If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Here is the Link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylc=X3oDMTB2Y2t1c212BF9TAzIxMTUzMDA5ODgEc2VjA2ZwBHNsawN0b2RheXE-?qid=20090525234910AAOGh95

And this Riddle is the current winner of the Compy Award. The answer is simple: Yes. Not only does it make a sound, a sound never dies, it just continues to diminish into infinity. So be careful what you say! Someday the world will know. I suspect others say "No". Just remember that many things are made in life that are never perceived (like my article writing?). :)

Compusician's Laundry Sock


I'm a single guy that has to do his own laundry, so I have to discover things on my own (by choice). The smell of my laundry is not all that great when I am done drying it, so I invented something has already been invented before I am sure (might make a good “soap” opera or sitcom).

I have tried dyer sheets, but they lose their smell after opening the box. Good laundry detergent costs too much for what little benefit of smell I get at the end.

Enter the Compusician's Laundry Sock. Okay, here is the basic idea. I take a pair of black socks. I put one inside the other, and tie it off into a knot. Then I put the perfume agent onto the sock. I throw it into the dryer. Because I rarely wear black socks, it is easy to spot for the next load.

Today I had an old bottle of Polo Cologne laying around, so I put some drops onto the Sock. I also have old bottles of essential oils, some rubbing alcohol, and a dropper bottle that I have from other “failed” inventions.

I want to note an unintended effect (this is why I think my idea of a sit com where a guy invents some things that already have been invented would do well, the “Lucy” effect. Yes, the unintended consequences). But this unintended effect turned out great this time.

My whole house now smells great (my dryer is vented inside the home).

While at Willie Nelson's Truck Stop this week outside of Dallas, Texas, I got a good whiff of his soap. I wonder if all musicians are into smells and perfume? I could see myself putting that bar of soap into some water, and then spritzing my laundry sock with the perfumed water. I just wonder about residue. In my original idea, the base is alcohol which evaporates leaving only the essential oil or cologne in the laundry sock.

Well, I better get busy with my music. I think ol' Willie might be ahead of me on that front!

Peace Out, The Compusician (Great smelling Compusician!)

Gov seeks private see


Government seeks "Private Sector"


A letter from a trucker to his elected officials:


----


Friday June 5, 2009

Thank you and your staff for your service to the people who depend on you nationally. I am trying to gain your influence on laws and governance, which will help provide dignity and protect privacy rights of the people in your jurisdiction.

I am a Truck Driver and according to the law provided by the DOT (which effects every city, county, state, and international area on the North American Continent... yes your area too), I may be subject to have a drug test where the testing facility is required by law to have “direct observation of my genitalia area.” It is very hard to believe, so I have provided the link to the law, for your convenience:


DOT 49 CFR Part 40 Subpart D 40.67

( www.dot.gov/ost/dapc/NEW_DOCS/subpart_e/Revised_40_67_20080625.pdf ).


I believe we could test for drugs in a more dignified manner. No workplace would ever allow this to happen, as it would be far beyond sexual harassment. I imagine this law came about because some people being tested were using the “Whizzinator” ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whizzinator ) that was filled with synthetic urine.

I would like to see alternative methods for drug testing, other than “direct observation of my private parts”, as a solution to a few who do not obey the law. One suggestion would be to submit hair samples. Another suggestion would be to require a blood sample. Both ideas provide dignity, but we would need some guarantees on securing our information (Privacy).

As we move forward to shape our future government which includes the World, we need to start here and now and require “Dignity” to be a big part of how the public should have it's privacy protected.

It is to your common sense and influence that I appeal to adopt laws, make decisions, and to talk about this issue.

I think most solutions should have a compromise to unite the past way of doing things, to the future way of doing things.

Peace Out, Gary Ruff aka: The Compusician

Ideal Energy


An ideal energy model is first needed. What is the most ideal form of energy? One that can be stored for a long time, is cheap, is clean, not a danger to transport or use, and is readily available (abundant).

I submit that this ideal energy form be a solid. It should be derived from a cheap source, the Sun or wind. And it should be distributed as “pellets” or “blocks”.

You will hear the arguments about endangering our food supply. This is not a factor. This “food supply” scare is a tactic used by oil companies, and other energy companies. Think for a moment if the price of corn goes really high, then wouldn't it be more profitable for drug dealers to start growing corn than marijuana? You see my point. The oil companies are in with the government (as you already knew), and they are “protecting” their revenue stream.

The biggest problem with energy is not making it, but storing it for long periods of time. Most people could put a windmill in their front yard and get electricity, but the problem is when there is no wind, there is no stored electricity.

Right now I believe that the “magic” solution is to convert the Sun into a solid energy form to store and use at a later date. Right now we convert the Sun into liquid (alcohol) and store it and use it for a later date.

And then we have another argument (the oil companies are so argumentative!). It costs too much to produce. It takes more energy to make than it yields. I don't want to get into this argument too deep, but let me just say that they are leaving something very valuable out of the calculations they model. We are not trying to produce cheaper energy. We already can get it free from the Sun (Solar). We ARE trying to produce a storage solution. If I can produce a way to safely store energy for long periods of time, the costs will go down as time goes on and the most important factor is that we will not need the oil companies. Remember, I get the energy free from the Sun or wind? If I can convert and store it safely, why do I need the energy company? And now you start to see the whole economic and political game.

I would imagine there could be a biological way to safely make free energy also. I am not a Bio Chemist, so don't ask me how.

Our leaders are aware of the future that is before the worlds eyes, free energy. Perhaps now you are aware of why they need to tax carbon? Oil companies will die off as we move into the future, it is called progress. They sure can't let the tax revenue flow die.

Peace Out, The Compusician

Contacting Elected Officials


How do I contact my elected leaders?


There are many ways on line to connect with your elected officials for complaints as well as kudos. The most comprehensive and easy to use we site I have used so far is at USA.gov.

Here is the link to the specific page to contact all of your leaders via e-mail (excluding the Supreme Court Justices... they accept regular mail only).

Link: USA.gov contacts ( http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml )

Peace Out, and good luck! The Compusician

PS I have an issue which I am communicating with my leaders. I am saving their responses and will comment on them soon. So far, most e-mail forms are relatively easy to fill out. Every leader seems to have a unique way of doing the e-mail acceptance. I will comment more on this later. Here is my issue I have. It is odd. It is unique. And the scariest part is, that it is REAL.

Orange Juice

I think I may have found a way to significantly reduce the acid in orange juice (or at least the heartburn feeling).

Make it with distilled water. If it is already premixed orange juice, then use distilled water ice cubes.

It works well for me, and now I drink orange juice all of the time!

PICO POWDER

I have a culinary idea for some young aspiring inventor. Pico Powder. Yes. Why not dry up the ingredients in Pic de Gallo and dispense it like we do with salt shakers and pepper shakers? A pico shaker?

Add to this the possibility of adding in pepper and call it Pico Pepper?

Just an idea.

Song Smith

I'm playing around with Songsmith from Microsoft and PG Music. It is like the old Band in a Box program, but a whole lot easier to understand for the novice.

I will probably use this for scatching (Scat and Sketching a song with just vocals). The piano chords and style selection seem to be well worth the inexpensive cost (30 dollars right now).
