Activities Midway
We brought Valkyrie to the MIT Activities Midway, the primary recruiting and publicity event for clubs at MIT. We had many interested freshmen sign up and are looking forward to having new members!
There will be more introductory meetings and publicity events in the upcoming weeks. If you get a chance, stop by our open house event at the Edgerton Center this Saturday at 3pm.
American Solar Challenge Blues
On Friday night, July 11th, the MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team drove down to Austin, TX, to begin the scrutineering process for the up-and-coming American Solar Challenge. After passing all of the scrutineering events, we proceeded to compete in the Formula Sun Grand Prix (FSGP), the track race that is the final qualifier for the American Solar Challenge. On the last day of FSGP, our car ran into difficulty and we unfortunately were not able to qualify for the American Solar Challenge.
We also would like to sincerely thank all of our sponsors for their continued support and mentorship. Without them, none of what we do would be possible.
With this race now behind us the team looks eagerly forward to FSGP 2015 – to improve upon the designs of this car and the cars that the MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team has built before. We are also switching from the canonical 3-wheeled solar car design to a 4-wheeled design, which will bring challenges and opportunities for our design team.

Solar Car Track Testing
On Tuesday, April 22nd, MIT's Solar Electric Vehicle Team trooped over to Seekonk Speedway, MA to do track testing. It was a lot of fun, and the weather was nice.
The day started at 5 AM, as we had to make some last minute fixes on the car—namely, installing seatbelts and such. Then, we drove over to the track. The parking lot was huge! The track was a 1/3 mile banked oval and very smooth. We brought snacks.
Track testing was very informative. We found a lot of bugs in the car, which we are working to mend currently. Wish us luck!

MIT Energy Conference
The day started very early with the team gathering at 5am to drive our solar car, Valkyrie, from the Edgerton shop to the MIT energy conference held at Westin Copley Place in Boston. The three car caravan included a lead car, a truck pulling a trailer and a chase car. Valkyrie was carefully unloaded from the trailer and brought up via elevator into the display area.
After catching up on missed sleep some team members returned to the conference around 11am to talk to the conference attendees as they broke for lunch. Later in the afternoon more team members joined for the evening expo. Various energy companies representatives, executives, scientists and the general public wandered around the various booths set up. The team shared our experience building Valkyrie so far and our plans for the American Solar Challenge. People were excited about what we are doing and expressed support and encouragement. The team got to meet some very interested company representatives and even the founders of some energy start ups!
The conference ended at 8pm and Valkyrie was loaded back into the trailer and taken across the Charles river back to MIT where the work continues.

No More Breaks
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year's! Our team was able to relax for a bit after finishing the composite layup. After 2 trips to Maine, 60 hours of work, and $55,000, Valkyrie's body has been completed! One of our members, Chris Pentacoff, compiled a cool timelapse video of the process. Check it out below!
Now that the team has taken a much-needed break, the next few months until the race are gonna get hectic. We plan to attend the MIT Energy Conference in late February with an almost-completed solar car. This means a completed solar array, mechanical system, and battery pack all integrated with the composite body. Not to mention that we're looking for a new truck and trailer. Whew. Let's hope this month is a good one.
Time to ASC: 195 days

Valkyrie Layup, Part 1
With a new year comes new members – lots of them – which makes it a perfect time to start from the basics. First on the agenda for the school year is Valkyrie's body layup. Now, we have to give a big thanks to Custom Composites Technologies Inc. for really helping us out in this department. Not only did they give us a HUGE oven to bake our molds, but also a lot of workshop space to do the actual layup. The hitch? They're actually located in Bath, Maine. So add a 3 hour drive (give or take traffic and aggressive drivers) and we're good to go.
Did I mention that Custom Composites Technologies Inc. also made our molds? They're really great. If you're new to this, let's start from the beginning so that you can really appreciate how much they've done for us. First, a male mold is made from a CAD model using a 5 axis CNC. Then the female molds that we actually use for the layup are made as the opposite of the original male mold – the bottom is the red mold and the top is the grey one. The thing about the molds is that the red one was sealed and the grey one wasn't. So we sealed the top one after cleaning the molds thoroughly for anything that could prevent a good quality finish on the exterior of the car. Meanwhile, we started to make templates for the pieces of fabric going on the car and begin to cut the carbon fiber and kevlar..
If you've ever had to make templates and cut materials before, you'll know just how complicated it can be. Between trying to fit lots of curves and taping materials carefully so they don't fray, the night started to get pretty long. Finally we got around to sealing and Frekote-ing the molds (so that the carbon fiber and kevlar come cleanly off the molds) and we were ready to get everyone on their feet and putting the pieces of the car together. Then we started mixing epoxy.
In case this all is really new to you, epoxy is a mix of a resin and a hardener, or in other words, a little more work than pulling out a gluestick. Also, you want to mix it constantly and in smaller portions to keep it just right for applying to the fabric. As a result, we had an entire work table covered in plastic cups and epoxy which smelled a lot like fish (in case you were wondering). In hordes around the molds, people intensely applied epoxy all over the carbon fiber/kevlar (carbon fiber on bottom and kevlar with some unifiber carbon fiber on top). Now don't take this as an easy task either – the canopy just about gave some of us migraines as we tried to fit the pieces we had just cut from templates, but after some quick modifications, things begin to fit properly.
Finally, we just had to vacuum seal both molds and stick them in the oven as we watched the sun rise out of windows that we didn't realize were there before. Done at 7am. Not a bad 8 hours of work. Granted, that wasn't the initial plan at all until the truck with our prepregs got delayed. Now mark your calendars – Valkyrie's body should be finished this Saturday, November 2!
(Time lapse coming soon!)

ANSYS, molds, and CFRP
You've heard the plans from Julia: we race next in the 2014 American Solar Challenge and shortly afterward the 2015 World Solar Challenge! We're taking this extra time for development that we have been wanting to do for a while but haven't had the manpower, time, or money. We'll be running in the 2014 ASC with a new motor, giving us a noticeable bonus in power – the equivalent of eight to twelve additional solar cells. Our array encapsulation and modularization is maturing aggressively, but I can't talk about that just yet . . .
Valkyrie, as we are referring to the ASC 2014 vehicle, will be the first of our solar cars with an all-composite chassis. This was a decision made with a great deal of consideration. Working with steel as a primary structural material has given us a great deal of flexibility in design and freedom in construction while meeting a high standard of crash protection. What we hope to achieve with a composite and largely CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic) structure is even greater design freedom, even greater crash protection – CFRP can have an order of magnitude greater specific energy absorption than steel – at the expense of slightly less leeway and forgiveness in construction. Our toolmaking has improved to the standard we require for a composite/CFRP car and we are excited about improving those methods even further.
Speaking of molds: we are looking for a new home for Chopper del Sol's molds! The molds reflect the 2012 ASC version, with straight front fairings. Taker will have to arrange shipping but otherwise they are likely free of cost. For more information, contact email@example.com.
I'd like to welcome our newest sponsor, ANSYS. ANSYS' FLUENT package will be the principal fluid simulation suite for the development of Valkyrie. Without well-packaged, flexible, and relatively computationally inexpensive modeling tools like FLUENT, the things we do would be significantly less tractable, more expensive, and more time consuming.
Starting Anew
Hello everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates, our team has been busy designing our next solar cars! After much consideration, the MIT SEVT has decided to compete in the 2014 American Solar Challenge with a three wheel vehicle. In conjunction, we will also be designing and constructing a four wheel vehicle in preparation for the 2015 World Solar Challenge. There will be plenty of work, but we want to race competitively and still be prepared for future races. With the change in design from 3 wheels to 4, there has been a lot of discussion about the overall structure and design. Currently, the aerodynamics team is working on simulations and designing the car shape. Here are some cool pictures of what they've been up to:
|Simulation performed by Alastair Gregory.
|Simulation performed by Alastair Gregory.
On the electrical front, a motor change is in order. Currently, our team is looking into Mitsuba and CSIRO as viable options. However, we won't know for sure which motor to use until we perform some dyno testing. On the mechanical front, the team is currently designing the suspension system to be improved from the last system. Overall, the team is excited to begin fresh and hunker down to build two vehicles in three years!
Thanks to Our Sponsors!!
Now that we're at the beginning of another design cycle, we would like to give all our sponsors a big thanks to show them our appreciation. We wouldn't be able to compete in solar car races if it wasn't for the time, material, and donations given to us by our sponsors. These companies are kind enough to help out with molds, composite materials, PCBs, electronic equipment, batteries, and software – to name only a few things. On top of that they are truly interested in our team, and offer advice and encouragement whenever they can. Our sponsors are all great companies that excel at what they do, and are generous enough to help student teams like us build something as interesting and exciting as a solar-powered car. Check them out below!

Bottom Line
Apple Logic Pro X sets the standard for digital audio workstations, both on the Mac platform and overall, and it's the least expensive of the major DAWs to boot. It remains a killer package that every serious musician should at least look at closely, if not purchase immediately.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Curt firstname.lastname@example.com Friday is the deadline to sign up for a four-weekend Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) preparation course offered by the Clayton State University School of Business' Master of Business Administration program. The School of Business has room for about 35 students, to keep the class easy to manage, according to Michael Tidwell, the assistant dean of Clayton State's School of Business. "We're still registering people," Tidwell said. "We have 25 people signed up so far, and we have 10 or so spaces left. We prefer enrollment not to exceed 35 people for these classes." Tidwell said the GMAT is important for potential graduate-level business administration students because "anyone who wants to do an MBA program has to first take the GMAT before they can be accepted." The registration cost is $50, and class participants will also be required to pay an additional $50 for two textbooks used in the class, Tidwell said. The textbooks are "The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition," and "Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook, 6th Edition," according the School of Business' web site. The university will refund the $50 registration fee for any course participants who go on to enroll in Clayton State's MBA program, Tidwell said. Clayton State currently offers its MBA degree at its Morrow and Peachtree City campuses. In January, the university will begin offering the MBA program at a third site, the Rockdale Career Academy in Conyers, according to the School of Business' web site. The four-part GMAT preparation class will begin this Saturday, and continue on Oct. 31, Nov. 7 and Nov. 14, from 2 to 6 p.m., each day, according to the School of Business' web site. The first two sessions will focus on quantitative section reviews, the third session will focus on a verbal section review, and the final session will be an overall review of the test, according to the School of Business' web site. The classes will meet in room B-11 of Clayton State's Lecture Hall, which is on the university's Morrow campus. Applications for the course can be obtained by logging onto www.business.clayton.edu/mba. The applications should be sent to Andrea Johnson, MBA Program, School of Business, Clayton State University, 2000 Clayton State Blvd., Morrow, Ga., 30260. Johnson is an administrative assistant in the School of Business' office. For more information on the course, call Clayton State's School of Business at (678) 466-4500.

- ―Wicked The Musical.
Oscar Diggs, aka The Wizard of Oz, or just Wizard or simply Oz for short, is a fictional character invented by L. Frank Baum, author and creator of the Oz legacy. Oscar is first introduced in Baum's first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz published in 1900. However, despite the book being named after his title of position as self proclaimed "Wizard", Oscar is not the focal point character. He is not brought into the story until halfway through the plot when he speaks with the child protagonist and heroine of the tale named Dorothy Gale from Kansas. Oscar himself does not make a physical appearance until towards the end of the book after Dorothy has had several adventures throughout all of the magical Land of Oz and has interacted with, befriended and defeated several other characters during her unexpected arrival and extended stay.
Oscar of Oz
- "The only one who might know would be the great and wonderful Wizard of Oz himself. Oz is very good, but very mysterious. He lives in the Emerald City and that's a long journey from here, did you bring your bubble or broomstick? "
- ―Glinda the Good (1939)
Dorothy has embarked on a very long journey starting from Munchkin Country all the way to Oz's imperial capital known as the Emerald City by means of the Yellow Brick Road. She wants to find a way for her and her pet dog named Toto, to return home again to Kansas after being swept away to the magical Land of Oz via cyclone. Thus, believing the Wizard to be the only figure within all the land powerful enough to grant her request as he is the lands dominating ruler who is worshipped by all. But Dorothy must prove herself worthy first and kill Oz's most dreaded figure known as the Wicked Witch of the West if she wants to truly go home. When Dorothy arrived in Oz she accidentally killed the Wicked Witch of the East in the process. And since Dorothy became the new owner of her charmed Silver Shoes (Ruby Slippers in the movie) as a result, Oz believes Dorothy is capable of eliminating Oz's last baddie. Dorothy tries to explain to Oz that she never intended to kill anyone, but Oz has a shocking secret to protect. And to do so he sends Dorothy out to complete the task, or die trying.
- "Bring me the Broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West, and I shall grant your requests, now go, I SAID GO!!! "
- ―The Wizard (1939)
*Oz the Great & Terrible/Powerful*
- "He's the man he's the only one who can give your wish right to ya, he'll send you back through time by runnin magic through ya, all of the super power's his, so listen and I'll tell you where he is-he's the Wiz and he lives in Oz!"
- ―The Wiz (1978)
Oz was a self proclaimed Wizard who was treated as a King for a very long time before being discovered as a mere phony and Humbug who used to be a Circus Magician, Illusionist and skilled Ventriloquist long before coming to Oz by fate via hot-air balloon. When he arrived to Oz, he came in such an unexpected way that it made history. He also came in a very similar way as Dorothy Gale one day would, being brought by a strong whirlwind/wind-storm. Yet after he arrived within Oz, he stayed reclusive and very mysterious for many years while ruling in the Emerald City which was originally built in his honor. Oscar rarely accepted any requests from his people and subjects who asked to see him as he feared they would find out that he was a mere mortal man who didn't possess any magical abilities. This went on for decades until he finally left the land of Oz after failing to take Dorothy Gale home as he promised. Sometime later he was brought back to Oz from our world on several occasions. When he returned for the last time he decided to live there permintally and live an honest existence. Oscar chose to make his home within the Emerald City with many other familiar characters from the Oz stories who chose to live there as well, while under the rule of Oz's child Queen and rightful ruler, Princess Ozma of Oz.
- "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
- ―Wizard (1939)
- Ozma, Dorothy and many others in Oz saw that Oscar wasn't such a bad man after all, just a very bad Wizard with good intentions despite all the corruption and confusion he caused while being in charge.
Baum's Description
- "What is he like?" asked Dorothy. That is hard to tell child," said the man thoughtfully. "You see, Oz is a Great Wizard, one gifted in the magic arts, so he can take on any form he wishes. So that some say he looks like a colorful bird; and some say he looks like a green talking elephant; and some say he looks like a giant cat. To others he appears as a beautiful fairy dressed in elegant green robes, or even a brownie, or in any other form that pleases him. But who the real Oz is, when he is in his own true form, no living person can tell..."
- ―The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900)
The iconic character of the Wizard can appear to be a controversial one. At times the Wizard seems genuine and caring, at others Oz's true intentions can seem rather questionable to the point of looking quite Sociopathic.
Overall, Oz is a cornfed, dried-up, old man who remains a fun loving country boy at heart. His wrinkled face is cheerful and his eyes glimmer with innocent and adorable humor. Although once a con-man and lair who was feared by all in Oz, he is actually very human and kind. Before coming to the land of Oz in his hot air balloon, he lived in a Circus Carnival and traveled all around the country in America duping people left and right and practicing the magic tricks that made him a great Magician. In his later years, he was known as a greatly gifted illusionist and also a skilled Ventriloquist, able to imitate any bird, beast or human (male or female). In Baum's later Oz books, he proves himself quite a creative inventor, providing devices that aid in various characters' journeys. He introduces to Oz the use and value of money and even mobile phones in Tik-Tok of Oz. Some of his most elaborate devices are life size Marionette dolls of beautiful woman dressed elegantly, life size replicas of fierce and ferocious beast, levitating fire balls that hang from fireproof strings and most notably the giant green Marionette head that is held by invisible wires over an emerald throne within the Royal Palace of Oz. The Wizard of Oz, is a very clever and intelligent and certified artist who also is a master of magical illlusions, because of his long experience in the crafts. When he arrived in Oz he used his incredible skill in magical illusions to fool the people of the land of Oz and also the witches of Oz making them think he was too powerful, almost omnipotent, thus protecting themselves from any threat. The Magician is also a master of magic, when he went to live in the Emerald City, Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, eventually came to teach him real magic, so he could finally cast spells that were not of false or phony magic. (The Emerald City of Oz). Today he is one of the greatest wizards of Oz and is loved by all who know him.
Oz the Great Shapeshifter!
- In Baum's original story of 1900, Oz not only appears as a giant green head levitating above a jeweled imperial throne, but also as several other magical beings as well. In the book, Oz only allows Dorothy and her friends to speak with him one at a time on separate days. Oz meets with Dorothy first and appears to the girl and her dog as a big green head. But to the Scarecrow, Oz appears as a beautiful fairy Princess dressed in elegant robes. To the Tin Woodman, Oz takes the shape of a great giant beast with horns. And to the the Cowardly Lion, Oz has no physical form at all, but is a fierce ball of flaming fire burning in mid air. Despite his different forms Oz tells Dorothy and her three friends all the same thing if they want their wishes granted; to kill the Wicked Witch of the West. In the 1939 movie however, the Wizard speaks to Dorothy and her friends all at once, on the same day and tells them to bring back the Broomstick of the Wicked Witch.
- In some versions the Wizard demands Dorothy and her friends to bring back the Wicked Witches one working magic eye instead of her broomstick.
- In the 1900 book, Oz would later explain to Dorothy and her friends that these illusions were possible by dummies and other special effect props.
Oz History: How Oscar Became A Wizard...
- " Oh no my dear, I am a very good man, just a very bad Wizard..."
- ―The Wizard (1939)
Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs was born in Omaha, the son of a politician.
He went to work as a ventriloquist for Bailum & Barney's Great Consolidated Shows, going up in a hot air balloon to draw crowds to the circus, using only his first two initials (since the rest spell "pinhead"). One day his ropes got twisted and the balloon escaped. Two days later it settled in the Land of Oz. The people, seeing that this man had descended from the clouds, greeted him as a wizard. (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz)
When the Wizard arrived in Oz, he became power hungry and stole the throne from the rightful king, Pastoria, and hid away the king's only daughter Ozma with the old witch Mombi, whom he visited three times prior, so there would be no heir to the throne. (The Marvelous Land of Oz) He then set the people to work, building the Emerald City and the Royal Palace of Oz. He announced himself ruler of the entire Land of Oz, uniting the Munchkins, Gillikins, Quadlings, and Winkies. He lived in fear of the four witches who ruled each quadrant of Oz, so he shut himself away and depended upon his reputation as a powerful wizard to protect him. He was highly venerated by his subjects and known as "The Great Oz" or "Oz the Terrible". It was commonly thought that he was all-powerful, although all acknowledged that he was reclusive and never seen, even by the servants who waited upon him.
Believing him to be the only one capable of solving their problems, Dorothy Gale and her friends traveled to the Emerald City to ask for his help. The Wizard was very reluctant to meet them, but eventually they were each granted an audience, one at a time. The Wizard appeared to Dorothy as a giant head, to the Scarecrow as a beautiful fairy, to the Tin Woodman as a terrible beast, and to the Cowardly Lion as ball of fire. The Wizard promised to grant each of their requests if they killed the Wicked Witch of the West.
When they succeeded in this task, they returned to the Emerald City to collect their rewards. There, they discovered that Oz was a humbug who had used a lot of elaborate magic tricks and props to make himself seem "great and powerful." Pressed by Dorothy's companions, the humbug Wizard gave them each what they wanted. The Wizard, tired of being a humbug and having to hide away from his subjects, planned to grant Dorothy's request by escaping Oz with her in a hot air balloon. He appointed the Scarecrow to rule in his absence, but when the time came the Wizard and his balloon floated away, accidently leaving Dorothy behind. (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) He returned to the circus, but during another ascension came down in a crack in the earth caused by an earthquake. He eventually landed in the Land of the Mangaboos where he was reunited with Dorothy Gale and met her cousin, Zeb Hugson. After demonstrating his power by producing Nine Tiny Piglets, the Wizard was challenged by Gwig, the local sorcerer, and Oz sliced the Mangaboo in half. The Mangaboos forced the companions to leave their country, so the travelers journeyed through the Valley of Voe, the Land of Naught, and a den of Dragonettes before reaching a dead end. From there, Dorothy signalled Ozma, who transported the entire party to the Emerald City. The Wizard took up residence in his old rooms behind the Throne Room, and Ozma invited the little old man to remain in Oz permanently. (Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz) When Glinda learned that the Wizard was to become a permanent resident of the Emerald City, she began to teach him magic so that he would not remain a humbug. (The Emerald City of Oz)
Ozma decrees that, besides herself, only The Wizard and Glinda are allowed to use magic unless if the other magic users have a permit.

The Wicked Years
The Wizard's part in the kidnapping of Ozma in The Marvelous Land of Oz did not please the readers, and in Ozma of Oz, although the character did not appear, Baum described Ozma's abduction without including the Wizard as part of it.[1]
In Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, When Ozma rescued the adventurers from the underground kingdoms, the Wizard recounted his story of becoming the ruler of Oz, and Ozma explained that before the witches usurped her grandfather's throne (an occurance happening long before the wizard arrived), the ruler of Oz had always been known as Oz or (if female) Ozma.[2] Ozma decreed that, besides herself, only The
Wizard and Glinda are allowed to use magic.
In Magic Land, the Wizard in named James Goodwin. In this version, he hails from Kansas like Ellie (Dorothy), not Omaha. He is seen briefly in Kansas at the end of the first book. In the second book, the heroes attempt to recruit him to help the Magic Land, but he states he had enough of magic. He never appears later.
In The Great Wishy Woz he is the title character.
L. Frank Baum may have based the character of the Wizard on Harry Keller. Bald and clean-shaven, Keller was "America's leading magician when Baum's book was written" and, in the judgement of one writer, "almost certainly the inspiration" for Baum's character.[3]
The Wizard of 1939
In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, The Wizard's character is similar to that found in the earlier books: a bumbling "humbug." He was played by actor Frank Morgan. The same actor also played several other roles in the movie; including Professor Marvel, the mysterious traveling fortune teller that Dorothy meets in Kansas, the Guard at the Emerald City, the Guard at the Gates to Oz's Castle and the Coachman whose carriage is pulled by a "Horse of a Different Color". His face was also presumably used as the projected image of the Wizard.
The Wiz 1974-78
Andre De Shields portrayed the role of the Wizard in The Wiz. In the musical he was a salesman whosold rarely anythings, then one day he heard a voice say he would be someone, so one day he climbed in a hot air balloon where he would perform what he called a miracle but before he could a storm came up and blew him away to Oz where he landed in the middle of a ladies social.
The film role was later given to comedian Richard Pryor. In there his name was Herman Smith who was a politician. To advertise himself he got into a hot air ballon to fly over the beach, but a storm came and blew him into the clouds and landed in Oz. Sense they've never seen a hot air balloon likes his they made him the wizard.
Wicked Musical
In the 2003 musical Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz, Joel Grey was cast as the Wizard known as Ozness, Great and Terrible and Wizardship.
Tin Man Syfy Miniseries
In the 2007 miniseries Tin Man, the Wizard is referred to as The Mystic Man, and is a drugged-up, yet popularized, mystic to whom many go to see for answers. He is being drugged by Azkadelia so he won't be of resistance to her.
Dorothy and the Witches of Oz 2012
The Wizard of Oz appears in Dorothy and the Witches of Oz played by Christopher Lloyd. The Wizard of Oz was a clever and inventive man during Dorothy's time in Oz. He tried and failed to find a way to defeat the superior forces of the Wicked Witch of the West, so he surrendered to them; but he tricked them, giving them a false key. The real one, he gave to Dorothy and sent back to Kansas with her, where she lost her memories. (Dorothy and the Witches of Oz)
Oz: The Great and Powerful 2013
- Main Article: Oscar Diggs
The Wizard of Oz is the main protagonist of this film, which delves into his backstory. He is portrayed by James Franco and is modeled closely after the version from th 1939 fim. His full name however, comes directly from the books.
Oscar is potrayed as a struggling circus magician as well as a womanising conman who seduces the girls in his act using a music box and hastily crafted lies. After a particularly bad show, he encounters Annie, his childhood friend and the only woman he seems to truly love and respect. He encourages her to accept the proposal of one Sam Gale and admits his desire to achieve greatness rather than being just another good man from Kansas. He is later forced to flee in a hot air baloon after being chased by the circus strongman, whose wife and or girlfriend he'd previously seduced. He is subsequently swept up in a storm and brought to Oz, where he encounters the good witch Theodora.
Oscar Diggs a circus magician who frequently uses music boxes to impress various women. The one woman he seems to care about is Annie, who he left behind to join the circus; she visits to tell him that John Gale asked to marry her.
He escaped in his balloon from a strong-man who was out to get him. A cyclone caught his balloon and took him to Oz, where he met Theodora the Good. She informs him of a prophecy that he's the savior and that he's destined to become King of Oz and that he must defeat the Wicked Witch.
Evanora sends him on a quest to defeat the Witch, and along the way he meets a China Girl, who joins him and his Winged Monkey servant, Finley. Finally they meet Glinda, who tells them the truth about the Wicked Witch. With the help of his new friends, Oz must find a way to defeat the Wicked Witches. (Oz the Great and Powerful)
Once Upon a Time
- Main Article: Walsh
In the ABC show Once Upon A Time, the Wizard appears as a man named Walsh, who has been transformed by the Wicked Witch of the West into a Flying Monkey and is forced to do her bidding. He nearly married the show's protagonist, Emma, before being found out as a servant of the Witch. (Once Upon a Time: "New York City Serenade", "It's Not Easy Being Green")
Barnyard Studio's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
In Barnyard Studios The Wonderful Wizard of Oz independent film, The Wizard is played be Actor Kurt Rose.
In author Gregory Maguire's Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (a revisionist novel based on the inhabitants of Oz) and in the Broadway musical Wicked (based on Maguire's novel), The Wizard is a tyrannical ruler who uses deceit and trickery to hide his own shortcomings. Unlike in earlier works, the Wizard is clearly meant to be the villain of the story.
Maguire presents the Wizard as a con-man and a hustler who happened onto a world where he could literally make himself into a king overnight. Pretending to have vast powers and all-encompassing knowledge, he rules over the Emerald City, while secretly requiring people with true magic talent such as Glinda and Elphaba to cast spells for him.
During the course of Maguire's novel and the subsequent Broadway production, it is revealed that the Wizard is indeed behind some of the most horrific and disastrous events in the story, with one of his cohorts being Madame Morrible. The Wizard is revealed to be the illegitimate father of Elphaba, seducing her mother with a magical green elixir, causing Elphaba's green tone. In the musical, this fact is revealed to the character Glinda, who accosts the Wizard with this information. It is also under the Wizard's direction that the Animals of Oz — most notably the Goat teacher from Shiz University, Doctor Dillamond — are caged and placed under strict control. This cruelty causes the final split between Elphaba and the Wizard, leading to her transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West.
No more than a con man with knowledge of how to work with human emotion and beliefs, the Wizard works to maintain his own position and prestige, regardless of the pain and grief it causes to others, and is not beyond subversion or mandated murder.
In the original stage production, the Wizard was played by Cabaret star Joel Grey. Here, he is not so much villainous as misguided, carried away by the image he created for himself, he claims to have kept up his deception because it was what the people of Oz, whom he views like his children, wanted. He is more sympathetic in this version, being manipulated into villainy by Madame Morrible and becoming stricken with grief upon learning of Elphaba's supposed demise.
In the Hidden History of Oz, he is a young man who joinsd Glinda's war against the Wicked Witches soon after arriving in Oz. He develops feelings for her and tells her of his trickery early on, though she trusts him to help her anyway. This incarnation of the Wizard does seem to have a genuine enchantment about him however as his dreams are made real while he sleeps and are what sent him to Oz in the first place. He also belives strongly in the U.S.Constitution and wishes to govern the Emerald City the same way.
An evil version of the Wizard rules over a miserable version of Oz from the Obsidan City in an alternate timeline. He is good friends with the Nome King and arranged for him to keep Ozma captive. Notably, he does not use illusions or props to disguise himself and refers to himself as a bad man but a very good wizard. While this may mean he has true magic {at least by the time Ozma meets him} the things he does are ambiguous enough that he may still be a humbug. An evil version of Dorothy works for him. {Parodox in OZ}

This your list is a confirmation that Nigerians don't give a damn about excellent research work and discoveries. I don't know what the selection criteria is that never made it cross your mind that Prof. Andrew Nok deserves to be on the list. If you don't know he won Alexander-Humboldt prize this year 2013 for discovering cure for Trypanosomiasis. Also, let me inform you that virtually all heroes who won this prize have gone ahead to win the Nobel prize as well. Please let's learn to celebrate our Academics. Thanks.

|Health / Re: Male Infertility!!! Share Your Experience/success Story. by sunky644(m): 6:37am On Nov 24, 2013
It's like truly we men are egocentric. Can't believe this thread is in the third page and not more than two(2) men owned up to be in this condition. Yet I know the extent of male infertility out there, God will deliver we men.
To the topic, I first knew that I was a victim of this health issue about three years ago and I could trace the root cause to my laptop. For about two consecutive years, I was addicted to playing Pro Evolution Soccer on my laptop for at about 6-8hours daily and this is done with the laptop on my laps. When I got married and after about six months of active sex life with my partner with no positive results then we got to know something was wrong and alas! the problem was on my part (2million sperm cells in 1ml, 70% motility and a bit watery Fluid). I was placed on Tarrivid (ofloxacin) to take care of the bacteria and Proviron (sperm booster) to boost the count. The result gotten after this was (2.5million cells in 1ml, 80% motility and slightly watery Fluid). I knew the problem was not solved with this so we resolved to alternative medicine. I got three (first is honey type, second is some herb extracted with water and third is plantain peal extracted with alcohol which was very colloidal or gelatinous) specially prepared medicine from a Medical Doctor who went for a short course in Phytomedicine and Tradomedicine in China or India.
Two months after taking this my wife got pregnant and we now ve a very beautiful girl. Now we are preparing for the second conception and I know it will be a success. Most of the things earlier mentioned here is What we are told to eat following my findings from the work of some researchers. Like taking carrots, walnuts, moringa tea and use leaf to cook vegetable or egusi as well as seed as food seasoning, Trevor drink, honey and onion combo.
Like someone said, let's avoid subjecting the testicles to any form of heat cos the sperm cells are proteins and proteins get easily denatured by heat. Also avoid tight pants and never place ur laptop on ur laps or close to your testicles.
I am a Nutritionist by training and will soon start my PhD degree in same field with special interest in infertility by trying the use of some herbs that could help in boosting sperm count, used as antibacterial especially staph and also pile treatment (as it can be a predisposing factor for male infertility). Will try as much as possible to keep following this thread and I want to urge us to move closer to God and never stop praying (prayer that moves mountains) cos with him all things are possible. God will put smile on the faces of the women here looking up to God for the fruit of the womb (Amen).

I got an info from a cousin some time ago that I can use Airtel #1200 BIS subscription on my Samsung android phone. I actually tried it and it worked cos ve enjoyed it for close to three months now but recently after I bought the normal #1200 BIS, all I can do is open webpages thru opera mini. Now, all android applications (what's app, Facebook, eBay, aliexpress, yahoomail and messenger, Google mail and even android market etc) on my phone has refused to work. I can't open any and now left at mercy of just viewing my data waisting away. Once again the data is 1.024gigabyte converted from #1200 Airtel credit for one month.

Root, bootloader unlock, and ClockworkMod Recovery for the HTC Desire

Do you want to root your HTC Desire GSM/CDMA? I guess you would want to root it now, especially that custom ROMs based on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich are popping out like mushrooms everywhere. So, if you don't want to be left out, you'll need to root your device and join the Ice Cream Sandwich craze.This rooting method is not really very new, but it surely is still effective in rooting your device. Thanks to the Unrevoked team who worked on this rooting method, your phone is just a few steps away from gaining root, getting an unlocked bootloader, and having custom recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery).This guide shows the process for root, bootloader unlock, and ClockworkMod Recovery for the HTC Desire GSM/CDMA.WarningThe instructions in this guide are intended for use with the HTC Desire (either GSM or CDMA variant).

root or unlock app
Tuesday 31st of January 2012
I'm sure there is a reason that an app hasn't been developed but I'm asking because obviously I'm too dang stupid to even figure out how to unlock my phone thru htcdev so why can't there be an app to install that can unlock the bootloader or do temp/perm roots on our phones rather than use a computer to do this. Ten yrs ago OK maybe twenty I probably understood these instructions but now I need instructions and pictures I know pretty freak in sad. I've spent oh gosh three my be four days trying to unlock the phone to no avail and now I've got it where the computer won't recognize it. So Verizon is sending me a new phone. I'm sure there are devs out there that can write code to do all this thru the phone and if this is so it sure be nice to see this as an app in the market. James

Samsung Galaxy Nexus SPH-L700 (Sprint): Root, bootloader unlock, and ClockworkMod Recovery - Android Authority
Friday 22nd of June 2012
If you have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus SPH-L700 (Sprint), there's no doubt that people around you are green with envy. Your phone is definitely one of the best Android devices on the market, not to mention quite expensive. I'm sure you wouldn't want to risk bricking it, especially when you don't know much about tweaking Android phones. The good news is there's a toolkit that allows users to unlock, root, or re-lock their Sprint Galaxy Nexus in just a few clicks.Tweaking your phone also means that you have to follow instructions or else you might unwittingly brick it. This is very common, particularly for beginners who don't know the commandss very well and are faced with confusing and sometimes misleading instructions. It's not too much of a problem if you just soft-brick your phone, but when you talk about irreversible damage, you cannot risk a Galaxy Nexus.This is why XDA Developers senior member WugFresh developed a toolkit which would allow beginners to easily root and unroot, and unlock and relock the phone's bootloader. It can also be

[Guide]Root and unlock without the data wipe
Saturday 06th of July 2013
Upon helping a member with another issue, I came across a tool that allows one to root & unlock the Nexus 4 without data wiping. It is also a method that doesn't require a connection to a computer. How Cool! Framaroot is a 1-click root method without the need of tethering the device to a computer. Simply download the apk, install, and run it to obtain root.Once you're rooted, that allows you to use BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices to lock or unlock your bootloader without the need for the complete data wipe.This will hopefully be of use for some people out there

The Nexus 4 Finally Gets 4.4 - Here's How You Can Flash The KitKat KRT16S OTA Manually [Root Or Unlock Not Required)
Thursday 21st of November 2013
PrerequisitesDownloadInstallRootingGood news, everyone! The coveted Nexus 4 OTA to Android 4.4 is finally here after a brief delay caused by several serious bugs. It started rolling out very slowly a few days ago, but it wasn't until just now that we were able to finally identify the OTA zip urls for those of you who want to flash KitKat manually without having to wait any longer. No need to mash the Check for updates button over and over - let alone it doesn't actually do anything.So grab and flash the 239MB KRT16S Android 4.4 OTA right now, no matter what your rooting/bootloader situation is. Of course, if you've modified the system partition in such a way that the OTA won't apply cleanly anymore, you have to either revert those changes and try again or flash the factory image.The latest Nova Launcher beta enables transparency and works like a charm:You can also grab The Google Experience Launcher With Translucent Bars And Google Now [APK Download] if you so fancy.Disclaimer: Android Police isn't responsible for any harm to your device - proceed at your own risk.PrerequisitesIn or

[Q] Extract Data without Root or Unlock (Stuck in bootloop)
Tuesday 21st of January 2014
Hello Does anyone know a way to extract data from a Nexus 7 2013 without it being unlocked or rooted? It is stuck in a bootloop, I think from a failed update. The tablet belongs to a family friend who has been using it as a usb device for months and it contains documents, photos and other important data. I manually sideloaded updates to 4.4.2 but that also did not work. Is there anyway to extract data off this thing? I can access stock recovery and fastboot. I would even destroy the tablet if there was a way to take the chip out and copy the stuff to a computer, Thanks everyone :-)

So as of this point Ive only ever done extracts, and steeps. Never had to mash anything, so I wanted a couple of pointers.
I want to do the popcorn beer.
I REALLY want to do the popcorn beer.
So I was thinking of using the Stovetop mash technique by DeathBrewer. But I am unsure of the amount of pilsner malt id need to also to provide the ensymes to convert the Popcorn starch.
So say i wanted to use 1 pound of pop corn (probably bigger than my pot) how much malt would I need to use for conversion?
Could also use some 2row, but I want it to be as light as possible.
Building a mash tun is VERY easy and should only cost about $30. That would be my best suggestion.
All you need is:
(1) cooler
(4') PVC pipe
(4) PVC elbows
(1) PVC T fitting
(1) Ball valve
I am interested in this popcorn beer your talking about though...

What is this popcorn beer you speak of ?
"Brewers enjoy working to make beer as much as drinking beer instead of working."
-Harold Rudolph
yes you can mash like death brewers method just fine, but the cost of a small mash tun is relatively cheap!
To try and help answer your question...I would start with 3-4 Lbs of Pilsner malt. you may need less, some one might chime in and say you need more, but thats where I'd start and I wouldnt be afraid of not having full conversion.
I love Alcohol, its in my Blood.
Man, i was "really" hoping youd say like half a pound. Not looking forward to hand cracking 4 pounds.
Are you a Marylander!
there is another thread Labeled "popcorn" if you click the New Posts tab on the top of the page...the guy that used popcorn in his recipe used 4lbs Pilsner and 3 Lbs 6-row to convert 1.75 Lbs of popcorn
you might be able to get away with less being that your only looking to convert 1 lb..check out that thread and see what you think.
