  A well-known signature of supersymmetry breaking scenarios with ordinary
gauge mediation is a universal formula governing gaugino and sfermion masses
such that their ratio is of order one. On the other hand, recently studied
models with direct gauge mediation predict anomalously small ratios of gaugino
to scalar masses. It was argued that the smallness of gaugino masses is a
consequence of being in the lowest energy state of the SUSY-breaking low energy
effective theory. To increase gaugino masses one either has to move to higher
metastable vacuum or alternatively remain in the original SUSY-breaking vacuum
but extend the theory by introducing a lower-lying vacuum elsewhere. We follow
the latter strategy and show that the ratio of gaugino to sfermion masses can
be continuously varied between zero and of order one by bringing in a lower
vacuum from infinity. We argue that the stability of the vacuum is directly
linked to the ratio between the gaugino masses and the underlying SUSY-breaking
scale, i.e. the gravitino mass.
