Who is the enemy?
I feel like as humans we tend to label a group or a person as "the enemy" and proceed to disagree with everything they say or do regardless of merit. Republicans and Democrats, atheists and believers, pro-life and pro-choice, etc. etc. I mean really, anything the NRA says is instantly ridiculed in some circles and anything President Obama does is destroying America in other circles. I've seen this in families, even.
So who is the real enemy here? Are there such things as enemies in the end? I'm not just talking politically, but in all phases of life. Is there anybody that should be labeled as an enemy?
It would also be interesting if you give examples of kinds of enemies you've seen other than those listed above.

Feb 2 2013: Great point you've raised here - I believe that the word enemy is a word that needs to be dismantled in any rational argument. It's a crude bass word used to discriminate against large groups of people. The truth of the matter is people-nations-corporations will always have conflicting interests that cause dispute, arguments and battles. In order to move forward as a society we must try and understand every conflict for what it is, not what it means to us on an emotional level. One of the things that dictators always do, is make enemy symbols for their community to give them control and power. It's how you distract ordinary people away from the oppression they're living under and focus their anger and frustration on someone else - Think George Orwell "Animal Farm" & "1984" - My bottom line on this is. If you think of people as enemies, you're probably not thinking for yourself. DCFeb 2 2013: Ignorance is the greatest enemy of humnaityFeb 1 2013: the word "enemy" is invented as an excuse to suspend common sense and common decency.

Feb 1 2013: I agree with you. Self-mastery comes first. If you can master your own emotions, usually all the other enemies fade away. Have you ever noticed how people that are very insecure about themselves usually have this attitude of combativeness?

Feb 4 2013: I know people like those little dogs...oh dear. Let's all strive to be big dogs, shall we? Sounds like a plan. Oh, and thanks for the compliment. :)Feb 7 2013: Jonathan Haidt covers this in his book "The Happiness Hypothesis", where he calls this the "myth of pure evil", where we imagine evildoers are pure in their evil motives and that all evil ultimately comes from outside the group of us the good people. This mindset is the whole problem his more recent work is set up against.
A short quote that drives the limitations of that mode of thinking home:
A good place to look for wisdom, therefore, is where you least expect to find it: in the minds of your opponents. You already know the ideas common on your own side. If you can take off the blinders of the myth of pure evil, you might see some good ideas for the first time.

Feb 3 2013: If there is no enemy within, there can be no enemy without. I forgot who said this, but I've found that it's trueFeb 3 2013: i guess everything has two sides ; a good one and a bad one , so we should not label the bad side as an enemy without looking at the good side . for some people the bad side is considered to be the good one and vice verse .

if someone hurts us physically we should call them an enemy because they showed their hate in a very clear and defensive way , but if they hurt us emotionally , it doesn't have to be a sign of hate ! some people say things they don't mean , we gotta know why they said these things before labeling them as enemies because an enemy is someone who is trying to destroy us , someone who's trying to hurt us on purpose , someone who wanna make us suffer , when someone does that , then that's the enemy .

Feb 4 2013: So if I understand you correctly, you're talking about the ideas of intolerance, hate, apathy, and greed as the enemy. I would agree with you. I would go further and say the ideas have root in our natures, and those parts of our natures are the enemy. As each one of us changes and rejects those ideas, they will naturally die out. However, that is a personal decision that must be made individually. Thus the difficulty. Am I right?Feb 1 2013: There are real enemies, there are imagined enemies; sometimes our attitude and behaviour becomes our enemy(the enemy within).
Feb 3 2013: good point .
an imagined enemy is bad but the enemy within is the worst !Feb 1 2013: They are not enemy, they just disagree with each other, but because they want to win, they turn to enemies.
If they can mange their relation and find out that the other group don't want to destroy them, They can have better relationship, discussion and so on.Feb 1 2013: Enemies and friends may vary and may come and go.

Who is challenging YOUR well being? Since you ask the question, I conclude you have no obvious enemies.
Would you consider the following as enemies:
People who destroy the natural environment for selfish gain, thus threatening the survival of your descendants
People who get rich by causing the economy to collapse, putting millions of people out of work.
Politicians who support laws that are sought by their financial supporters, regardless of the harm done to the people who they should be representing.
Employees who perform minimally, not caring who is harmed by their negligence.
Then there are the common murderers, rapists, thieves and other criminals.
I can remember when the phrase "political enemy" was understood as hyperbole. It was taken as a figure of speech. Political enemies were not real enemies, just fellow citizens who disagreed about the best path toward progress. Apparently that is no longer true.
Feb 1 2013: I still wouldn't call them necessarily enemies. It's unfortunate, and I'll work to stop what they're doing for sure. What they're doing is bad, but are THEY bad? There's a reason why they're doing what they're doing. Some of it's out of pure greed/ill intent I'm sure, but I think those people who are totally evil are more rare than we think they are. People are people. They make mistakes, they make terrible choices that hurt tons of other people. We need to stop them and fix the damage, absolutely. But I still wouldn't call them an enemy. Treating them as such will never fix the problem that originated inside of them.
Feb 2 2013: I am not sure that you understand that many of these people consider you to be their enemy, or perhaps their prey. In their own minds, these people are not making a mistake. They see themselves as the rightful survivors in a world of kill or be killed, and they are consciously, intentionally, out to do you harm. I consider such people as my enemies.
I do not care whether THEY are bad.
I do not know what you mean by treating them as enemies. They are my enemies, so however I treat them is how I treat enemies.
Feb 4 2013: And this is why wars start. Sometimes wars are necessary, I won't deny. Nothing else could have stopped Hitler. There are really evil people in the world. However, can you see that as you reciprocate their intolerance and hatred you will become like them in some degree? That is the real tragedy.Feb 7 2013: The unknown external, for the weak minds and the taken for granted internal for the wise.Feb 4 2013: Enemies are those that make us stronger, wiser and those that piss us off ------ (sorry, I could have found other words to express what I am trying to convey but, It would not have been out of the park) :)
cheersFeb 3 2013: In my opinion, it is those who deem themselves better then the rest; dehumanizing others and in the process inflicting mental or physical harm.Feb 2 2013: As has been pointed out already, we are our own enemy.Feb 1 2013: If I am enjoying a day at the park with my 7 year-old Granddaughter I will consider all the other folks at the park to be friendly. When one, or more, of them shows intent to harm my little one, physically or emotionally, I now view them as unfriendly. The folks I see as friendly I call "a friend". Anyone who intends harm I call "an enemy". Words are all we have to share our thoughts. The word "enemy" has a clear and distinct meaning.Feb 1 2013: I agree with you, Scot, that many people are quick to treat those who disagree with them, stand up to them, or stand in the way of their pressing agenda as enemies and then do not listen or try to appreciate anything of value that "other' might bring to the table. This mindset where it exists interferes with learning, collaboration, and problem-solving.
There is a connected concept in psychology called thick or thin boundaries but is measured on a scale rather than binary.
Someone with thick boundaries tends to separate people and ideas into distinct groups with sharp lines separating the groups. Those who lump people together as if they are fundamentally homogeneous because of, say, political affiliation or occupation are on the thick boundary end of the scale. Those who recognize variation within such categories and indeed overlaps among them and who resist categorization and one-size-fits all conceptual formulations are on the thin boundary end of the scale. Someone who hates labeling people would be on the thin boundary end.
Those more toward the thick end are more likely, probably, to see and identify various groups as enemies.
Feb 1 2013: How can we help the thick ended people get to the thin end? (Ha, sounds like a diet program.)
Feb 1 2013: As I recall, it is considered a personalty trait, so people have a strong disposition one way or another.
Still there is empirical evidence that open-mindedness can be cultivated.

I wonder how much dissent would be erased if government called any religious institution that talked about any political party or political position a PAC and taxed it as such. When one group insists that those who disagree are not disagreeing with them, but are disagreeing with God, the fight is unfair and unresolvable. Dissension grows.
I found Mr. Haidt's speech almost laughable. His suggestion that strengthening marriage will not only reduce income inequality but significantly improve most of our social ills is profoundly naive.
If a rapist is going around raping people, are women supposed to support his ideals? Women are being metaphorically raped (as are blacks, hispanics, and the LBGT community) by the conservative Christian community. How can Mr. Haidt truly expect those who are being raped and deprived of basic human rights and essential equality, to work with those who are raping them?
I don't label the xtians "enemy". I don't have enough political power where I live to bother. I do KNOW that I am considered to be in THEIR enemy camp. This is made abundantly clear in so MANY ways!Feb 1 2013: This is a great question and I think a lot of people will give great answers according to them.
The great gun debate:
The NRA, Citing Switzerland and Israels gun laws and Inalienable rights.
In the middle = Obama's recommendations.
Those against escalation and more controls on guns.
Who's the enemy? What enemy? I am my enemy.
I could launch into a grand explanation but it would only come across as patronizing, other than that refer to Pats comment.Feb 1 2013: The question is who challenges you or someones survival? Who benefits you or someones survival?
E.G. people will say that a Muslim terrorist is aiding the survival of his group and getting rid of infidels. But what is wrong with this assessment is that he is not aiding the people of the world. Hitler had a similar perspective.
As to the political ideals you have to ask which ones aide the survival of that nation. People will say this is accomplished through socialism but the reality when you actually LOOK at this is greater debt and less economic activity than countries that have freer markets.
Look at this index to see what system is the enemy:

Can't Get Enough!
Sign me up for dish duty! I got a bottle on clearance last year and I enjoyed dishwashing so much! I now have six bottles and just love how refreshing it smells. If you are on the fence, just do it and just treat yourself!

Men vs Women
I buy this dishwashing liquid for my B&B kitchenettes because I feel spoiled when I use it. Women have told me that they love washing dishes because of the scent. However, although many women have gone out of their way to tell me how much they love it, the men are not as impressed. One man asked me to remove it from his suite and one told me it reminded him of cheap car scents that you use to hang on your mirror years ago. I don't agree. It is a fabulous natural scent. Why the difference between male and female reaction? I just don't know.
My comfort fragrance!
Fragrance for any time of year and cleans so well.
Wonderful scent but....
I absolutely the scent of this product and it definitely makes doing the dishes a lot more pleasant. However why put such a great product in such a flimsy bottle. The bottle is something like you would find at the dollar store. The plastic is very thin which makes it hard to squeeze out when it get more empty. I don't understand taking such a great product and then ruining it's presentation in such a cheap bottle. The price charged is high enough that it could be placed in a better bottle. I would be embarrassed to give this as a gift.
Dishwashing Heaven
I love the Frasier Fir collection. I have the Hand Soap/Hand Lotion by my kitchen sink, and have the candles burning all the time. This is probably my favorite scent. It makes you feel like you are in a log cabin with a fire in the fireplace. When I saw the Frasier Fir Dishwashing Liquid, I couldn't wait to try it. This is a fantastic product - the suds are great and the Frasier Fir scent just permeates the water. My dishes came out squeaky clean and my hands smelled great. Goodbye Dawn - hello Frasier Fir!!

Footnote Maven has a cranky pants alert in her rant about Genealogy Snobbery. A great read as well as rant.
Thomas MacEntee of Geneabloggers also made some very valid observations on Genealogy Snobbery. Let's hear it for fM and Thomas!
Thomas has another of my favorite posts this week, on Election Day, Politics and Genealogy at Destination Austin Family.
Amy Coffin of We Tree Genealogy discussed the importance of voting in genealogy organization elections. Paula Stuart-Warren also discussed this topic on her blog.
Are postings on social media sites considered records? Here is an informative post on this topic by the "Collector in Chief" of the National Archives.
Graves Without Tombstones is an insightful post on "On a Flesh and Bone Foundation."
Another nod to Thomas MacEntee for his post about finding cousins on Twitter. If anyone can do it, Thomas can!
Becky Higgins of My Genealogy Pondering rose to the 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy challenge with her post on giving back.
DearMyrtle offered a great how-to on using Dropbox.
Diane Haddad at the Genealogy Insider offers tips on finding genealogy clues in history books.
Paula Stuart-Warren offers some great advice about being and having a genealogy buddy.
Glad to see that my idea for the Genea-Angel award is picking up some support and people are paying it forward by acknowledging others who have helped them along the way. Michelle Goodrum of the Turning of the Generations recognizes three of her Genea-Angels (all of whom most of us Geneabloggers know and love).
And I'd also like to acknowledge the folks at the Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner web site for liking my review of their product enough to feature it on their blog. I'm still loving this little scanner!

Thank you for the mention! Also, congrats on the shout-out from Flip-Pal. That's pretty neat!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for leading your excellent parade with my post about snobbery in the genealogy world.ReplyDelete
Never one not to stand up for my avocation, or my friends, at least I gave everyone a heads-up.
It looks as if some of my readers will believe me from now on when I issue a "Cranky Pants Alert."

In Memory of My Father
Drama, Comedy
The adult children of a Hollywood mogul decide to take drugs, screw around and film the entire thing for posterity. These individuals are so injured by life they can't help but wince from and lash out at any attempt to connect. The youngest son has been bribed by his estranged father to videotape dad's death and the subsequent aftermath. The subsequent wake consists of the family gathering together while it is falling apart in every other sense. Some doses of ecstasy, some well-timed comic barbs and those damn cameras all further exaggerate the drama of their lives. Collected all in one house, the family will have a little love and lots and lots of screaming.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Why are We Suprised?
Just around MemoGate I was an aspiring reporter who was prepping for a career in investigative journalism. In my spare time, I had a political Internet radio program called The Conservative Watchdog. This was the only place I allowed my political views to surface, especially as a consistent stringer reporter and intern.: While at a New York Conference, I raised my hand to ask about my program and how it could assist me in some way through political reporting, the responding "Journalism Expert" stated: "You could always work for Fox News." An eruption of laughter filled the room.
I left journalism the next day and promptly changed my major to Political Science, never looking back.
Journolist is not only a listserve but the pinnacle point signifying that the once detrimental weakness in the objective that is journalism has now turned into a cancer.: When I wanted to be a reporter I thought of Nellie Bly and others who searched for the truth no matter the risk and never allowed their own beliefs to invade in their stories.: The reality that the majority isn't anywhere near that anymore is not only the reason why instances such as the one I encountered occur, but also why the field of journalism is and will continue to be a joke unless something is done.
All in all, the recent Daily Caller article regarding it pretty much stated what we all knew: A large majority of the media is no longer the searchers for the truth but the creators and manipulators of it. Although it was during the Obama Presidential Campaign that major media organizations really began wearing the phrase "Liberal" as a badge of honor, it was always known that there was a growing leftist epidemic that was coming from their locations.: Now, all we really and truly have is proof.: Placing aside the aspect of the Obama Election however, you must admit that there is a larger factor of evidence that continues to this day. Recently, an Iranian American Democratic Fundraiser was charged with 12 years in prison.: Despite this carrying a whiff of Abramoff, the story died quicker than it took the ink to dry on the papers that actually covered it.: If I had been a GOP Fundraiser, another Abramoff would have never seen the end of it.
When it comes to tactics such as calling conservative leaders such as Karl Rove racist, the aversion is pretty much Liberal Media 101.: Every leader with an R at the end of their name or with any conservative background is seen as a threat and treated as such.: As a result, we immediately are ready at guard: With a thick skin, a head of knowledge and an understanding that the truth will see light as long as we keep working for it.
While many of us obviously knew factors such as this listserve somehow existed, I believe there is a hint of surprise because we in some way hoped we were wrong.: That the real reporters still are on the front page and still are working day in and day out for the real truth and not one that is bounced around by a collection of "correspondents".: Nonetheless, here we are facing the truth and it is our response that will either sink or save the ship that is Journalism.

Heather Bachman
Former White House Intern and campaign manager, Heather Bachman is an increasingly recognized political strategist and correspondent. It was during her college career that Heather Bachman's life first became political. An outspoken member of the collegiate governance and Human Relations Advisory Board, Heather produced and hosted two political radio programs (first of their kind for the University). One, The Political Hour mirrored the famed FoxNews Hannity and Colmes program and the other The Bachman Group mirrored The McLaughlin Group. Both won her the University's prestigious Rhett Rich Award. Heather served under President George W. Bush as a White House Intern before graduating Monmouth University with Pi Sigma Alpha Honors. She continued her political education and objectives serving under former Congressman J.C. Watts, Senator Sean T. Kean and taking positions in local campaigns from Assembly to Congress to President. Today, Heather is producing the radio program Heather on the Hill which is currently being shopped for a network home but until then can be heard online at ftrradio.com Sundays at 10am EST. She says she created them in order to fill a void within the conservative political community as well as society as a whole which, she believes, has affected elections and therefore the nation's future too many times.

"I worked with Ola at PSV (Eindhoven) so I know him well," Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat told the club's website (www.safc.com). More »Reuters - 3 hours ago

Recent reviews:
May 8, 2013 - The colors didn't look anything like the picture. Mostly blue that looks like plastic. Would prefer some natural colors like the pic. Also the elastic is very stretched out already so it falls off my wrist quite easily. I thought this bracelet was just ok.
March 18, 2013 - I bought one of these bracelets. They are very pretty and support a good cause. I wish they were a little bit stretchier as my wrist is large and it is hard to find bracelets that fit comfortably. However, these bracelets are great for the average sized-wrist and are very colorful!
Artisan: Relief Beads
Recognized by the United Nations as the world's worst humanitarian crisis, the conflict in Darfur has brought untold misery to millions. Forced from their homes and suffering starvation and disease, Darfur's refugees also live under the constant threat of violence.
Relief Beads, a grassroots arm of Relief International, provides direct humanitarian aid to Darfur's most vulnerable refugees: women and children. Funds from sales of its beautifully handmade artisan bracelets go where they are most needed: operation of the second largest refugee camp in Darfur (Zam Zam Camp), lifesaving therapeutic care for children in clinics throughout the area, educational costs for thousands of students, and operation of the Women's Development Center in Darfur, which provides medical and psychological care to women and children affected by the crisis.
In addition, your support provides therapeutic feeding and high-nutrient rations to those in desperate need, family education on care for malnourished children, growth monitoring, routine health screenings, on-the-job training for local Sudanese nutrition teams, and emergency referral support for severe cases. Of these services, therapeutic feeding to combat rampant malnutrition in children and nursing and pregnant women is core. Unfortunately, sick women and children living on the distant south side of the camp must walk up to 25 miles to reach care, a journey that can put their already poor health at further risk. Bracelet sales help further the goal of building and staffing a more convenient therapeutic feeding center to ease their suffering.

Gallery: Istanbul Unveils $1 Billion Green Super Development
In what is set to be the greenest development in Turkey, Istanbul recently unveiled the VARYAP Meridian Project, a mixed-use super-development that will house the city's new financial and business district. Set in the Atasehir District at the crossroads of major highways, subway lines and near the airport, the new project will be a model for future green development. New York and Istanbul-based RMJM are designing the project to LEED standards and have carefully analyzed the site to take advantage of the surrounding topography, climate and context.
The project will consist of a 60-storey tower, 1,500 residential units, a five-star hotel, offices, and conference facilities with landscaped public areas and parking facilities. The residential complexes will contain a variety of options ranging from luxury 5-bedroom penthouse apartments to small studio apartments. In total, the development is meant to serve 20,000 people and is expected to cost $1 billion. Set on a 107,000 square meter parcel, the project will be built out to 372,000 square meters. Considering all of this, the project is on an incredibly fast paced schedule with completion set for 2011.
The large development will feature many sustainable elements including rainwater collection sites and facilities to optimize water usage and reduce energy consumption, wind turbine technology, cooling water pools that enhance the external landscape, and a co-generation plant that will produce electricity for the development. The designers at RMJM have also carefully analyzed the location, orientation, and landscaping of the project to optimize panoramic views and minimize solar heat gain to the buildings. Istanbul's culture and heritage are also included in the design, which incorporates a spectral tiled facade that ranges from terra cotta to blue to white.
Chris Jones, RMJM design principal who leads RMJM's new Istanbul office said, "RMJM's design not only addresses Istanbul's culture, climate, architectural heritage, and cosmopolitan attitude, but also sets a new standard for sustainable design for Turkey. Sustainable design is no longer a trend but a necessity and our client VARYAP embraced the idea from the start."

This looks great, but the article left out crucial information: what was already on the site? Was it a brownfield (good) or ugly, useless buildings (good)? Was it an endangered wetland or beautiful historic building or vibrant-but-poor minority neighborhood (bad)? No discussion of a so-called "green" or "sustainable" project should ignore what was destroyed to make way for it. Some things are worth destroying (old Walmarts), and others aren't. – Storm Cunningham

|37th Annual Mad River Valley Craft Fair
This coming weekend, Sept 1 and 2, the 37th Mad River Valley Craft Fair will be held. It's one of the best and oldest craft fairs in Vermont. Limited to about 100 craft producers who meet the criteria of a juried craft show, it includes some of the very best crafts produced in the Northeast. There will also be demonstrations by artists doing such things as felting, folk art painting, wood-working, painting on silk, patchwork. You can't hold an event in Vermont without good food and music, and this show is no exception.
Every year I see something clever, interesting, and beautiful. Admission is just $3 for both days (children under 12 are free and there is a very good play area for them). This is a fun way to get your Christmas shopping done early this year and find unique gifts.
Located in Kenyon's field on Route 100 just a few minutes north of Waitsfield VT.
A list of exhibitors and links to their websites is here.
If you are interested in crafts you should also visit Vermont Crafts Council website.

About The ANA National Awards Program
Since the early 1900s, the American Nurses Association has presented awards to prominent registered nurses to recognize their outstanding contributions to the nursing profession and the field of health care. Provisions have also been made to honor, on special occasions, individuals who are not members of the nursing profession but have made significant contributions to health and/or nursing care.
The awards program was established to pay special tribute to those individuals who, through distinguished service to the nursing profession:
A primary goal of the awards program is to inform members of the nursing profession, other health professionals, government officials, and the public of the outstanding accomplishments and significant achievements of individual registered nurses in the delivery of health care. In addition, the awards program assists the public in gaining a better understanding of the role of nursing and its significant contribution to the delivery of health care.
2014 ANA National Honorary Award Recipients
Vernell P. DeWitty, PhD, MBA, MSN, RN - Mary Mahoney Award
Michael L. Evans, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN - Luther Christman Award
Cheryl A. Krause-Parello, PhD, RN - Jessie M. Scott Award
Rebecca M. Patton, MSN, RN, CNOR, FAAN - Distinguished Membership Award
Barbara Zittel, PhD, RN - Barbara Thoman Curtis Award

"Analog" in parenthesis because, although it is made up of 4 analog inputs, the only analog transition between the directions (up, right, down and left) comes from the buffering material (in this case 3cm thick squishy packing material) that absorbs and spreads the pressure from the user's pushing, creating a gradual transition between the inputs.
This Fabric Joypad does not need to be used with the drawing application seen in the video, it basically supplies you with analog outputs that sense which direction (part of the circle) pressure is being applied to.
If you are interested, the drawing application etchAsketch was written in Processing and can be downloaded from the link in STEP 8.
All pictures can be seen on Flickr in my Analog Fabric Joypad Set
Step 1: Materials and Tools
- Conductive thread - 117/17 2ply (www.sparkfun.com)
- Ex-static - plastic from the black bags used to package sensitive electronic components
- 6 mm thick neoprene with jersey on both sides (www.sedochemicals.com)
- 3 cm thick squishy packing material (or anything else you can think of)
- 5 metal snaps
- Stretchy fabric
- Regular thread
TOOLS you will need for the Joypad:
- Sewing needle
- Scissors
- Cutter (forgot this in picture)
- Ruler
- Compass
- Pen and paper or cardboard
Hi, this is a great tutorial! I have also worked on your pressure sensor matrix. The link for the code appears to be broken, do you have these codes posted somewhere else? Thanks!
" " <-- not parenthesis!
( ) <-- parenthesis.
I was just wondering- is there any way something like this can be modified to have more sensor points and have smoother input (as in faster signal + not as much pressure needed)?
We created three single analog output (unlike the 4 that the joypad has) pressure sensors which we then hooked up to a lilypad arduino. We then sent the data into Max/MSP to generate MIDI values for Ableton.
Such a wonderful, professional look and quality you bring to both the hardware and software examples; enough to make this EE weep tears of joy!

Kane football entered Friday's game undefeated and left the same way.
The Wolves also left with the AML South Division crown.
Kane clinched a spot in the AML championship game with a 27-18 win over Ridgway Friday night at Paul R. Miller Stadium to move to 8-0 on the season.
The Kane Wolves are now 7-0 on the season but still need a win over Ridgway this evening to clinch the AML South Title. The Wolves will be celebrating Senior Recognition prior to the game, so look for Kane coach Todd Silfies' squad to be ready to play tonight.
The Kane Wolves won the first two sets of Thursday night's match with Ridgway rather easily, then had to struggle to finish out the match in the third set in the Wolves' Den. The Lady Wolves avenged their four-set loss to the Lady Elkers on their home court earlier in the season with a three-game sweep with scores of 25-16, 25-15 and 28-26.
The Kane boys' soccer team lost their final game of the season by a 7-2 score at home on Thursday. The Raiders jumped out to a 5-0 lead with four minutes left in the first half but Kane coach Ernie Chamberlain's Wolves never gave up.
The Kane girls' soccer team lost their final game of the season on Wednesday to a deep Brookville team in the Lady Wolves' Senior Recognition game.
In the final regular season contest of the year, the middle school boys lost 21-38 to the visiting St. Mary's Flying Dutch while the boys varsity cruised to an 18-36 victory, capping a 10-1 campaign.
The Kane boys' soccer team lost to the Curwensville Golden Tide by a 5-1 score on Tuesday in Kane. The Wolves honored four seniors, Riley Austin, Kaleb Pierotti, Tyler West and Yerken Kashkov at halftime.
The Kane Volleyball team finished at the top of their bracket in Saturday's Kane Varsity Volleyball Tournament. The Lady Wolves came up short in the semifinals, however, losing 25-16 to Union.
The Kane Wolves welcomed a new opponent to Paul R Miller Stadium on Friday night when they took on St. Joseph's Catholic Academy from Boalsburg, just outside of State College. St. Joe's is also nicknamed the Wolves, but the Wolves from McKean County showed their counterparts from central Pennsylvania who was top dog during Kane's 50-14 win.
The Kane Wolves will take on a new opponent tonight when they host St. Joseph's Academy. St. Joe's is located in Boalsburg, just outside of State College and while the school was opened a few years ago, this is the first season for the football team.

I have bought an old Millermatic 200.
It says cv/dc welding power source/wirefeeder on the side pannel.
Does this mean I can stick weld with this machine too?
It is serial number ka 909611, and stock number 048290.
The owners manual does not say if I can.
Any help out there?

You can't stick weld with it but it's a great welder. I have one that I just can't wait to get to the welding part of a project.
Clean it up, check it out and enjoy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — When Martina McBride started looking for material for her next album, she turned to the great soul singers Aretha Franklin and Etta James for inspiration.
The country singer, known for her huge soprano voice, is self-releasing "Everlasting" on March 4, an album of classic soul and R&B songs made famous by the likes of Franklin and James, and Elvis and Van Morrison.
"It seemed interesting," she said. "And as a singer, really challenging and fun, too, to push my boundaries a little bit and tackle some of these classic songs and performances."

While the Washington Huskies were playing football 2,600 miles away against the Louisiana State Tigers in Baton Rouge, Daniel Hour sat in a Seattle coffee shop scrolling through his Twitter feed. As the University of Washington athletics manager of new media and recruiting services, the social media guru was looking for Tweets containing the #UWvsLSU hashtag.
One Tweet caught his eye.
"I saw a random Tweet about Tagboard and had no idea what it was," Hour said. "It just showed this weird combination of Tweets, Instagram photos and other pictures together."
That was the birth of a relationship between the UW athletics department and Tagboard, a Redmond-based social media aggregator. Less than a month later, after a few emails and conversations back and forth, the two agreed to a partnership Wednesday.
"We have a lot of respect for the UW and for us to have our first big traction coming in this area was very meaningful for us," said Josh Decker, CEO of Tagboard.
Tagboard is trying to capitalize on the usage of hashtags in social media. It's essentially a landing zone for specific hashtags or topics that are alive on social media. Users can find out more information about a certain subject, while companies have the ability to customize the design and imagery of their pages to help frame the conversation and brand.
Posts from Twitter, Facebook, Instragram and App.net are currently aggregated on hashtag-specific Tagboard pages. That brings the conversation out of the silos of each network all into one place.
"The usage of hashtags, in many cases, has created noise and chaos," Decker said. "What we do is waive a magic magnet across the internet and pull matching hashtags, display them in an interactive way and build more meaning behind the hashtag, rather than just noise."
Before the partnership, GoHuskies.com featured a box on its homepage with a hashtag and link to Twitter search results. That has already been replaced with a Tagboard-linked box focusing on this Saturday's game against Oregon.
"It's just a good way to see everything," Hour said of Tagboard. "You get a better feel for an event, instead of just words."
Decker thought of the idea for Tagboard after he spent the last few years managing quattroworld.com, a community of Audi enthusiasts. Now he's trying to build a community based around hashtags on a whole new scale.
He began to see people attaching hashtags to posts not only on Twitter but with other outlets like Facebook and Instagram. Though they mostly gained popularity on Twitter, Decker noticed a pattern with the now often-used "#."
"I felt like there was this low-hanging fruit of hashtags that could connect us all together, and I didn't see anyone else going for it," he explained.
Users can search for hashtags while watching an event, for example, to find out what people are posting across various networks. They can also set up Tagboard pages centered around a certain topic. Brands, like UW Athletics, will also be able to own premium, fee-based customized pages that can they can control and see analytics.
The company is hoping to grab hold of the hashtag craze and run with it.
"Users are interested in self indexing of the content and using hash tags to do it," said co-founder Tim Shimotakahara.
Decker founded the company last November along with two others: Shimotakahara, a current board member, and UX designer Sean Sperte. The company has raised nearly $700,000 in angel funds. A big investor was one of Facebook's first employees and is "well-known," according to Decker.
This is Decker's second go-around in the Seattle startup community. His first run began with the now-defunct software startup Zango, which current BigDoor CEO Keith Smith started back in 1999. Decker and his seven-member team, who pride themselves on being a lean startup, hope to make the usage of hashtags and Tagboard synonymous.
"When people think about hashtags, we want them to go to Tagboard and interact with the hashtag content on a bigger picture," Decker said. "As communities and brands adopt the usage of Tagboard, you are going to see a more purposeful use of hashtags."

Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia is a blood disorder that occurs when a medicine triggers the body's defense (immune) system to attack its own red blood cells. This causes red blood cells to break down earlier than normal, a process called hemolysis.
See also: Hemolytic anemia
Immune hemolytic anemia secondary to drugs; Anemia - immune hemolytic - secondary to drugs
In some cases, a drug can cause the immune system to mistakenly think your own red blood cells are dangerous, foreign substances. Antibodies then develop against the red blood cells. The antibodies attach to red blood cells and cause them to break down too early.
Drugs that can cause this type of hemolytic anemia include:
There are other, rarer causes of drug-induced hemolytic anemia. This includes hemolytic anemia associated with glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. In this case, the breakdown of red blood cells is due to a certain type of stress in the cell, rather than the body's immune system.
Drug-induced hemolytic anemia is rare in children.
A physical examination may show an enlarged spleen. A number of blood and urine tests may be done to help diagnose this condition.
Tests may include:
Stopping the drug that is causing the problem may relieve or control the symptoms.
Some persons may be given a medicine called prednisone to reduce the immune response against the red blood cells. Special blood transfusions may be needed to treat severe symptoms.
Most patients have a good outcome if they stop taking the drug that is causing the problem.
Death caused by severe anemia is rare.
See your health care provider if you have symptoms of this condition.
You should continue to avoid the drug that caused this condition.

In this guest blog, ASPCA Director of Disaster Response Dick Green tells us what it's like to be a disaster responder during National Preparedness Month. He also shares his tips for disaster preparedness.
September is National Preparedness Month, and it has certainly lived up to its name! September began just after Hurricane Isaac made landfall in Louisiana. Isaac not only "landed" seven years to the day after Hurricane Katrina but took a very similar path. Not nearly the size of Katrina, Isaac still wreaked havoc as a Category I storm that just sat and spun off the coast, bringing more than 20 inches of rain to New Orleans and causing extensive flooding in St. John and Plaquemines parishes.
The Louisiana State Animal Response Team (LSART) asked us to help prepare for the storm and be ready to assist with assessment and rescue. Working in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, LSART and the ASPCA provided sheltering support, evacuation, and water and land rescue throughout the impacted areas.
Following Isaac, three members of the Field Investigations and Response Team presented at the National Animal Control Association's Disaster Academy. My presentation, "Trends in Disasters," showed that disasters are increasing worldwide and that, unfortunately, the U.S. is a hotbed—consistently number one or two each year in terms of frequency and impact.
Next, six ASPCA staffers delivered talks at the National Alliance of State Animal and Agricultural Emergency Programs Summit. I provided a cost analysis for emergency animal sheltering. The take-home message was that shelters that house both people and their pets are the only way to go. My team also conducted nearly 40 interviews throughout the country over the last couple of days, sharing these key tips:
1. Have a Plan. That plan needs to be more that just evacuating with your animals. We hope everyone will do that! Your "all-family" plan needs to include how you will transport your animals, possible routes you will take and your destination/sheltering options. Practice that plan at least yearly and share it with your family and friends.
2. Build a Kit. Don't forget a photo of your pet, medical records, vaccination records, and any special food or prescriptions.
3. Stay Informed. Keep an eye on the weather, follow the projected storm path and don't get caught unprepared. Staying informed also means knowing which shelters house both people and pets, monitoring possible road closures and having alternate travel plans.
4. Know your Neighbors. Now is a great time to have a block party. Develop a telephone tree and determine who is home when. If a disaster occurs when you are at work, your neighbor may be the only one able to reach your pets.
5. Vaccinate and Microchip your Pets. If you are ever required to shelter your pets, you will want them protected against disease. And the single most important piece of advice we can offer is to microchip your pets. It is truly their ticket home. And remember to update your contact information if it changes.

As the Southeast continued to cope with flooding in the wake of Hurricane Isaac, ASPCA responders spent Labor Day weekend knee-deep in floodwater saving lives. Because of the efforts of ASPCA responders and others, hundreds of animals—dogs, cats, horses and even deer—are now safe.
In Mississippi, an ASPCA team worked to rescue stranded animals, including a young fawn in Harrison County who became trapped on a small piece of high ground after her mother swam to safety. Just as her patch of land was submerged, our responders arrived to take her to safety. She is now with the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Preservation Society of Long Beach, Mississippi.
Meanwhile in Louisiana five teams—comprised of responders from the ASPCA, Louisiana State Animal Response Team, Texas State Animal Response Team and Calcasieu Parish—together handled search and rescue requests.
A team of responders assisted the coastally situated St. John Parish Animal Shelter in LaPlace, Louisiana, purchasing equipment to deep-clean the kennel after flooding robbed it of most of its space for dogs. St. John's is getting back on its feet but has severely limited space. In response, the ASPCA transported nearly 70 dogs and cats from St. John's.
To help local shelters find space to accept animals rescued from flooding, our Animal Relocation team also moved 80 adoptable cats and dogs from Plaquemines Parish and 20 from Jefferson Parish. In total, the ASPCA relocated 90 dogs and 84 cats to shelters with space to care for them: the generous Humane Society of North Texas, SPCA of Texas and the Atlanta Humane Society. (Thank you!)
Our work is not yet complete. If you're seeking a way to help, you can make a gift to the ASPCA here. The ASPCA relies on the support of compassionate people like you to conduct rescues like this one and to assist animals facing other crises.
As you know, exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Isaac is devastating Gulf Coast communities. Waist-high flooding has forced thousands to evacuate their homes, and as first responders work to rescue people stranded by the storm, the ASPCA is planning rescue operations for stranded and imperiled animals.
The ASPCA's response to this crisis is only just beginning and is evolving by the minute, but we have taken the following measures:
- Our top experts are working closely with the Louisiana State Animal Response Team to plan and execute rescue.
- We're deploying responders to conduct door-to-door rescue of animals in flooded or abandoned homes.
- We're assisting a Louisiana animal shelter facing flooding.
- We are supplying boats and other equipment for critical water rescue missions.
- We transported animals from a Mississippi shelter to make room for possible Isaac victims.
If you're seeking a way to help, you can make a gift to the ASPCA here. The ASPCA relies on the support of compassionate people like you to conduct rescues like this one and to assist animals facing other crises.
In preparation for Hurricane Isaac, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team has kicked into high gear and headed to the Southeast, providing communities in need with transport, planning, grants and other assistance.
Today, at the request of the Humane Society of Southern Mississippi (HSSM) in Gulfport, we're relocating animals from that shelter to the Broward County Humane Society in Florida.
"Having been through Hurricane Katrina and responding to numerous disasters, we learned that by assisting agencies with pre-evacuation efforts and getting animals out of harm's way, we can greatly reduce the number of animals impacted by the hurricane," says Dr. Dick Green, FIR Team Director of Disaster Response.
"The ASPCA is pleased to be in a position to assist the Humane Society of South Mississippi and be part of a collaborative effort to relocate these dogs and give them a second chance," he adds.
Dr. Green and the FIR team are monitoring the situation closely and have organized sheltering and water rescue teams to support the local agencies as needed.
The ASPCA is also providing emergency grants in communities affected by Isaac, including to the Louisiana State Animal Rescue Team to increase its water rescue capacity.
In a happy coincidence, 89 dogs are making their way from Baton Rouge Animal Alliance in Louisiana to New York aboard a Sumter Disaster Animal Response Team vehicle, part of a scheduled transport arranged through the ASPCA Animal Relocation program. The dogs, mostly small-breed adults and large-breed puppies, will get a second chance at finding loving families at Pets Alive shelters in Westchester and Orange counties.
If you live in an area threatened by severe weather, the most important thing you can do for animals is ensure the safety of your own pets. For more information on how to keep yourself and your pet safe in an emergency, please read our complete list of Disaster Readiness tips.
Watch this blog for more updates on the ASPCA's response to Isaac.

The ASPCA is on the ground in Morgan County, Kentucky, expanding our response to the string of deadly tornadoes that ravaged parts of the Midwest and South last week.
Morgan County was battered by an EF-3 tornado on Friday, March 2, leaving in its wake at least six deaths, numerous injuries and massive damage to property. In the following days, Morgan County reached out to the ASPCA for help caring for animals affected by the tornado.
Bringing along a generator, cages, crates, food and more, the ASPCA arrived Sunday to meet with local veterinarians who had formed a response team, helping them establish a plan of action.
The ASPCA is also deployed to Branson, Missouri, to assist in the aftermath of the tornado that devastated that state on February 29.
