New Survey Questions SMB Interest In Netbooks and Cloud Computing The results of a new Spiceworks survey shows that while more than half of small and midsize companies are using some form of cloud computing, they're still showing caution about fully embracing the technology. And only 13% of SMBs say they plan to buy netbooks. All this as the Great Recession forces SMBs to hold on to computers longer and cut key projects.

But I thought I'd tell you a few words on some of those blogs anyway, especially those I don't think get enough visibility, because sometimes you won't just click until someone gives you a reason to do it :)
Zoffe's Makeup : is the blog of a talented 18 year old Danish girl who works for Mac and does fantastic crazy bright looks. She also reviews her favourite products.
Kelleyrie is absolutely lovely and has the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen. She does fantastic sophisticated looks and uses a lot of products from etailers and mineral companies. She also has a YouTube channel.
My Beauty Attempts is the blog of a young French woman who posts gorgeous EOTD's and reviews tons of products. She's almost as much of a foundation addict as I am, no wonder we are pals in real life :)
The GlossGoss is the blog of YouTuber Tali, who is model-gorgeous, loves designer shoes and dresses and talks/writes passionately about makeup. She is responsible for a lot of my hauls, I must say.
Mizz Worthy aka Jen also has a YouTube channel. She does more hauls and in-depth reviews than tutorials and EOTD's but I like the ways she does makeup, and she knows everything about Illamasqua - which means she's not afraid of being creative sometimes.
I could go on and on but I think I'll need to post another list later, or I will be rambling here for quite a long time. If you haven't been mentioned, don't hate me, as I said I like all the people in my blogroll but can't talk about everybody in one post.

Tech Lands Second $1 Million Grant For Border Security ClassesSOCORRO, N.M. September 27, 2011 – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman announced last week that New Mexico Tech has been awarded a $999,999 Department of Justice grant to help train local law enforcement agencies to tackle drug trafficking violence.
The grant comes from the fiscal year 2011 spending bill that funds the Department of Justice.
Tech will use the funds to offer classes to law enforcement personal on methods of reacting to and preventing drug-related violence in the border regions. In 2010, the Department granted Tech $1 million to launch the program, which offers classes specifically tailored to address the escalating violent activity of Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
"Drug-related criminal activity continues to be a burden on local law enforcement agencies located along the New Mexico-Mexico border," Bingaman said in a press release. "This funding will provide important support and training to help ensure they are prepared to respond to any situation."
The Southern Border Law Enforcement Training and Technical Assistance Project has been focused on the overall goal of providing Southwest border state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers. Classes arm officers with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to protect themselves and to safely and effectively respond to crime and violence stemming from narcotics activity along the southern border of the United States.
| Dave Williams, director of the Southern Border Training and Technical Assistance Program, at a conference in 2010.
Dave Williams, the director of the program at Tech, said New Mexico Tech requested $1 million for a second year of training under the auspices of the Department of Justice. The new funding will allow Tech to offer training to 675 additional tribal, state, local law enforcement personnel to counter transnational criminal enterprises linked to Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations.
At Playas and Socorro, EMRTC will conduct these classes: eight sessions of "Surviving the Mexican Drug Cartels," an eight-hour course, and five sessions of "Countering Mexican Cartel Violence in the Southwest," a 40-hour course. Additionally, a two-day "Kidnap Incident Management Seminar" will be conducted at least twice for communities at risk for kidnapping by those associated with the cartels.
Williams said New Mexico Tech has a decade of experience training the nation's first responders in responding to terrorist attacks. Through several Department of Homeland Security-sponsored classes, law enforcement officers from every state have attended classes and demonstrations in Socorro and Playas, N.M., in order to prepare themselves for potential terrorist attacks.
"We have proven that we have exceptional training capabilities," Williams said. "New Mexico Tech is the nation's leading training destination for police officers and firefighters. Now, we have expanded our offerings to include a curriculum specific to border security work. The U.S.-Mexico border area is increasingly becoming violent. Collectively, we need to be prepared for the tactics employed by the Mexican drug cartels."
The Border Security Center initiated the program by conducting a thorough needs assessment, which included surveys of 145 officers in four states. The Center also consulted with experts who have developed successful programs in Colombia and with the London Metropolitan Police Force in England.
The Center began offering pilot program classes in January 2011 and started a four-day practical application course, "Countering Mexican Cartel Violence in the Southwest," in March 2011 at Tech's Playas Training and Research Center. All costs for the training, including participants' travel, will be paid by the Bureau of Justice Assistance grant. Since January, Williams said the curricula for the courses has been adapted to the quickly-changing level of activity in the border regions.
"Our classes make officers much more conscience of the potential for extreme violence when they encounter drug cartel soldiers," Williams said. "We arm them with the tools to recognize the indicators that they aren't making a normal, high-risk felony stop, that the person they're stopping may have an automatic weapon or a hand grenade and may be trained in paramilitary tactics."

There is an old mining town in Calico, California that has been restored to replicate life as it had been in the 1880s when silver mining was at it's peak.
There is an old mining town in Calico, California that has been restored to replicate life as it had been in the 1880s when silver mining was at it's peak.
During its boom, Calico produced more than $20 million in silver ore over a 12-year span. When silver lost its value in the mid 1890s, the miners packed up, loaded their mules and moved away abandoning the town that once gave them a good living. It became a ghost town and is now a popular tourist attraction.
There have been many spectral sightings in Calico of some of the historically well-known residents. Dorsey, the mail-carrying dog is one of them. He is sometimes seen in shadow form on a hilltop or near the spot where the post office once was. The shadow is clearly in the shape of a dog and it appears to have small sacks on his back.
Dorsey definitely existed in Calico and he became well known for his ability to carry mail. His career started when he was found, hungry and bedraggled lying on the porch of the postmaster Jim Stacey. Dorsey became his faithful friend.
Jim Stacey had an interest in a nearby mine in Bismarck and on occasion had an urgent need to send a message to his partner. He tied a note to Dorsey's neck and "sent him up there." I have to assume that the dog had previously traveled the route many times. Dorsey returned with a reply and soon became a regular mail carrier back and forth to the mine sites over a very steep and rugged three-mile round trip through hot, rocky terrain. He carried his load in little pouches strapped to his back and faithfully carried the mail three times a week for over two years until the mines closed.
"Calico Dorsey" became well known for his dedication to this task. He supposedly performed his duties nearly flawlessly but there is one instance recorded of possible misuse of his responsibilities. One Christmas a miner living in a cave near the Bismarck mines, was sent a box of candy and sweets by his mother. The box was tied under Dorsey's neck but when he arrived the bottom was out and the contents missing. There was speculation that temptation had proven too strong and Dorsey had consumed the contents. It was also possible that other miners had hijacked the box or perhaps the package had broken open and the contents lost.
Dorsey's breed was described as "Scotch Collie." This breed today is very rare but a small group of enthusiasts is working to revive them. The Mojave River Valley Museum has a photo of the dog posed wearing his mailbags. In this photo, he looks a lot like a Border collie type. Regardless of his pedigree (or lack thereof), Dorsey was a fit, bright, hard-working dog. After the mines closed and the Stacy family left Calico, they gave Dorsey to San Francisco financier John S. Doe, who owned interest in the mine.
Dorsey's feats were well known and have been remembered in movie, song and a children's book. Disney made a film about Dorsey called "Go West Young Dog." Sometimes this is aired on the Disney Channel. Kenny Rogers has an album of songs "The Ballad of Calico" with a song about Dorsey. Susan Lendroth has written a children's book "Calico Dorsey" that was released in 2010. A website about the Calico ghost town is quite interesting. A visit there may make you believe in ghosts. http://www.calicoghostwalk.com/about1.html.
There is no information about Dorsey's life after his mail-carrying days. We have to hope that he was well treated by the gentleman who adopted him.

"Mary puts her computer to work and makes money while working from home. She says that has helped change her financial life and recommends it to people as a good opportunity.
Have You Ever Considered Working From Home Online?
Mary Stevens from , never thought that she would work online, until curiosity got the best of her and she ordered a course from Millionaire author called Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her three children.
I read Mary Stevens blog last month and decided to feature her story in our weekly consumer report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. "I actually make a steady $7,000-$8,000 a month working from home online. It's enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 15 hours a week from my own home online. It gives me so much time to spend with my family."
A check Mary Stevens recently received using
Working online has been a financial windfall for Mary Stevens, who struggled for months to find a decent job but kept hitting dead ends. "I lost my job shortly after the recession hit, I needed reliable income, I was not interested in the "get rich quick" scams you see all over the internet. Those are all pyramid scams or stuff where you have to sell to your friends and family. I just needed a legitimate way to earn a living for me and my family. The best part of working online is that I am always home with the kids. Thanks to the Online Income I am giving my kids the childhood they deserve."
I asked her about how she started her life-changing journey. "It was pretty easy", I saw an ad by about a course called Online Income. I knew about from TV and knew she was legit, and since they offered a "90% Discount" - I figured I really had nothing to lose.
I got the course and within five weeks I had made over $8,000!!! Its really simple, I am not a computer whiz, but I can use the internet. I follow 's simple instruction. "I don't even have to sell anything and nobody has to buy anything from me". There are openings all over the country, you should try it."
The companies you work with are worth over 100 billion dollars and are the most used sites in the internet market place, like Amazon, Google, Walmart, Delta, Apple and more... You're using the top ranked sites in the world, over 50 percent of all internet traffic flows through them everyday. It's a great opportunity and this has been helping people work at home online for over 5 years. Why not get in with the internet's best and biggest companies?
There are plenty of scams on the internet claiming you can make $50,000 a month, but that is exactly what they are, scams. This kit, however, is not definately not one of those! From my conversation with Mary, "I am making a good salary from home online, which is amazing, under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. Today I make about $80/Hr and I don't even have to leave the house. I thank God every day that I filled out that form and got my kit just minutes later."
Quickly, Mary Stevens was able to use the simple 's to make it out of the recession.
"I went from a fixed salary at work to grossing an additional $7,000-$8,000 a month from my home computer."

Life is an inextricable combination of beauty and awfulness, good and evil, and Japanese artist Daisuke Ichiba captures these dichotomies in his highly detailed, densely populated drawings. Drawing is just one of the media that Ichiba has mastered — he is also a painter, filmmaker, and photographer. No matter the form, though, his content grapples with the reality of life and its grotesqueries.
"Choosing to create work that is only beautiful feels artificial. Thus I paint both. You cannot sever the two. The expression that results is a natural chaos. In my work I project chaos, anarchy, anxiety, the grotesque, the absurd, and the irrational. By doing so I attain harmony. This is my art. Put simply, I paint humanity (the spirit)."
At first glance it's possible to miss the disturbing elements of Ichiba's work. The Indian ink compositions are dense and unusual for Japanese art, which tends toward clean lines and minimalism, although they do include Japanese iconography such as the schoolgirl and cherry blossoms. Influenced by his early admiration of comic book art and manga as well as the loss of his mother at age 8, his works fuse vile, often many-eyed, monsters into domestic scenes. Figures are missing features—an eye here, a mouth there—and the occasional introduction of color feels threatening, reminiscent of spreading blood.
He meditates on sexuality and death and the intangible cord that ties them together. Ichiba's haunting tableaus are a type of contemporary shunga (Edo-period erotic scrolls), in which beauty navigates chaos with one eye closed. (Source)
The impassivity of the deformed figures is striking in the work. Both human and monster accept their fates. The faceless children and severed heads represent the darkness in all of us, ubiquitous and unquestioned.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A number of Israeli commentators have registered their immense frustration over the fact that Israel did not even come close to leveraging all it had to defeat Hamas and put an end to the Gaza missile threat during the recently-ended Gaza conflict.
Everyone knows that Gaza is not self-sufficient, and receives nearly all its water and a large portion of its electricity from Israel. There was not even a hiccup in that supply as the residents of Gaza rained down missiles on Israeli cities.
But perhaps even more shocking is the fact that the Bank of Israel continued to send Brinks trucks carrying millions of dollars to Hamas during the war.
As Israel's Ynet news portal explained:
"Hamas does not have its own banking system. The organization raises funds in Arab states in dollars, but the currency in Gaza is the shekel. So, every month Israel transfers millions of shekels to Gaza to be exchanged for the dollars."
Popular Israeli commentator Dr. Guy Bechor of the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya responded to this ridiculous situation:
"We represent the first instance in history of one side feeding and financing its enemy, even during a time of war between the two."
But it doesn't end with Israel's overreaching fulfillment of the command to "love thy enemy." The Bank of Israel may actually be running afoul of Israeli and other Western laws.
In Israel and in most Western nations, it is illegal for government or financial institutions to monetarily support organizations classified as terrorists. Though Hamas is most certainly a terrorist organization, Israel justifies helping it manage its finances by calling it humanitarian aid. Without those millions of shekels, Hamas could not pay government salaries, and most Gazans would be out of a job. (Some of those "government" jobs include shooting missiles at Israel, by the way.)
But the situation may get a little more sticky going forward. Just this month, a New York court ruled that Israeli victims of Hizballah terror could sue a Lebanese bank that has a branch in New York City. The bank handled financial transfers for a charity connected to Hizballah.
The ruling has opened the door for Israeli and other victims of Hamas terror to sue the Bank of Israel through its branches and subsidiaries if it continues to assist the organization.

Why would they even let that happen? After all, companies like Avanade parent Microsoft have been successfully seeding enterprises with tools like SharePoint for many years.
The problem: while CIOs, aided by firms like Avanade, have been providing enterprise-caliber tools, no one's been doing much collaboration work with them. This has left a huge vacuum that Avanade says is being rapidly filled with homegrown, grassroots-driven, consumer-based technology instead.
"To be led completely by your workforce when it comes to collaboration is asking to end up with a completely undisciplined and unmanageable environment," Andrew Barber, deputy lead in the collaboration practice of the global consulting firm's British arm, told InformationWeek.
"It's very easy to let your corporate data end up on Facebook. Whether you should is quite a different matter."
[ Are we seeing the end of "social" as a unique category? Read Social Business Not Dead, Just Business As Usual. ]
Barber's team released on Monday the results of a global study of enterprise social collaboration trends that, if nothing else, backs up his observation that, "A lot of current collaboration is about people bringing the tools they work with at home into the office."
Indicating a sort of "bring your own software" dynamic, Avanade's data shows Facebook is a collaboration platform twice as popular as SharePoint -- 74% to 39%. It's also four times more popular than IBM Open Connections (17%) and six times more popular than Salesforce's Chatter (12%).
The study, of 4,000 users and 1,000 business and IT decision-makers in 22 countries, also said 77% of managers and 68% of users say they now use some form of enterprise social networking technology. IT decision makers said such social technologies make their jobs more enjoyable (66%), more productive (62%) and "help them get work done faster" (57%). All in all, said Avanade, of those businesses currently using social collaboration tools, 82% want to use more of them in the future.
But which ones? The study claimed, perhaps somewhat optimistically, that decision makers planning to adopt social technologies put SharePoint and Chatter (tied at 23%) at the top of their list of collaboration deployments planned in the coming year. Thus, though Facebook is ranked number one among social collaboration technologies in use today (74%), when asked what social tools businesses want to adopt in the next year, "Facebook fell to the very end of the list with only eight percent of decision-makers respondents noting it as a priority," said Avanade in a statement.
However, Barber admitted that IT-led, SharePoint-centric collaboration projects don't always succeed. Instead, he offered up Yammer, now also a part of the Microsoft technology stack, as a potentially more successful tool for CIOs to offer. "In many ways, that's a model of how grassroots-led collaboration can work really well, and add in the social flavor of workplace conversations in a much less dangerous way than letting people just go straight to Facebook," he said Monday.
For the study, Avanade interviewed 1,000 C-suite executives, business unit leaders and senior decision makers in the IT departments of organizations with at least 1,000 employees, in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. It also polled 4,000 end users in organizations of 500 employees or more in all the same countries except for Brazil. All fieldwork was conducted between March 13 and April 16.

Music has been used as a tool of healing since ancient times, appearing in the writings of the Greek philosophers Pythagoras, Aristotle, and Plato. Native Americans and other indigenous groups have used music to enhance traditional healing practices for centuries. References to music for healing have appeared in ancient Native American pictographs, African petroglyphs and other ancient inscriptions. Healing songs and music have also been passed down through oral traditions worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners have used music for healing. Traditional ragas ("melodic modes" used in classical music in India) have also been used to create different states of mind for healing.
Some scholars believe that "modern" music therapy began in the mid-1700s, when Louis Roger wrote his "A Treatise on the Effects of Music on the Human Body." Others say that the modern discipline of music therapy began early in the 20th Century to treat recovering soldiers during and after both World Wars. Patients' responses led to growth of such programs and wider scientific curiosity about the possible clinical effects of music.
Music has been used to influence physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being and improve quality of life for healthy people as well as those who are disabled or ill. Therapy may involve either listening to or performing music, with or without the presence of a music therapist.
Music therapists are professionally trained to design specialized applications of music according to an individual's needs using improvisation, receptive listening, song writing, lyric discussion, imagery, performance, and learning through music.
Sessions can be designed for individuals or groups based on the specific needs of the participants. People that support music therapy claim that infants, children, adolescents, adults, the elderly and even animals can all potentially benefit from music therapy.
Music therapists work in many kinds of healthcare settings including psychiatric hospitals, prisons, rehabilitative facilities, medical hospitals, outpatient clinics, day treatment centers, agencies serving developmentally disabled persons, community mental health centers, drug and alcohol programs, senior centers, nursing homes, hospice programs, correctional facilities, halfway houses, schools, and private practice.
All forms of music may have therapeutic effects, although music from one's own culture may be most effective. In Chinese medical theory, the five internal organ and meridian systems are believed to have corresponding musical tones, which are used to encourage healing.
Types of music differ in the types of neurological stimulation they evoke. For example, classical music has been found to cause comfort and relaxation while rock music may lead to discomfort. Music may achieve its therapeutic effects in part by elevating the pain threshold.
Music may be used with guided imagery to produce altered states of consciousness that help uncover hidden emotional responses and stimulate creative insights. Music may also be used in the classroom to aid children in the development of reading and language skills.
Receptive methods involve listening to and responding to live or recorded music. Discussion of their responses is believed to help people express themselves in socially accepted ways and to examine personal issues.
Improvisation involves spontaneous creation of music with voice, instruments, or body sounds. This allows for creative expression, energy release, development of personal insights, and redirection of negative emotions.
Recreative experiences involve singing and playing pre-composed music. This is believed to help develop a sense of mastery and increased self-confidence.
Composition methods involve creating vocal and instrumental pieces as a means of self-expression.
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Structured music therapy programs have been found to improve mood in institutional long-term care workers facing burnout and autologous stem cell transplant patients. There is also evidence that combining music with guided imagery may lead to reduced fatigue, mood disturbance, and blood levels of cortisol (a stress hormone).
The relaxation response is a physiological state that speeds up many of the body's healing responses. Relaxation leads to reduced heart rate, blood pressure, and tension, as well as many other beneficial changes. Music therapy has been shown to cause relaxation.
People with autism spectrum disorders often show a heightened interest and response to music. This may aid in the teaching of verbal and nonverbal communication skills and in establishing normal developmental processes.
In older adults with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other mental disorders, music therapy has been found to reduce aggressive or agitated behavior, reduce symptoms of dementia, improve mood, and improve cooperation with daily tasks, such as bathing. Music therapy may also decrease the risk of heart or brain diseases in elderly dementia patients.
There is evidence that music therapy may increase responsiveness to antidepressant medications. In elderly adults with depression, a home-based program of music therapy may have long-lasting effects. In depressed adult women, music therapy may lead to reductions in heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and depressed mood. Music therapy may also be beneficial in depression following total knee replacement surgery or in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
There is evidence that music played to the womb during late pregnancy may lead to children being more responsive to music after birth. Soothing music may help newborns be more relaxed and less agitated. Pre-term newborns exposed to music may have increased feeding rates, reduced days to discharge, increased weight gain, and increased tolerance of stimulation. They may also have reduced heart rates and a deeper sleep after therapy.
Music therapy helps in a wide range of pain conditions, primarily by its ability to improve mood, encourage relaxation, and increase pain threshold. Most research has shown positive results. However, studies, especially those that involved severe pain, have not found benefits.
Parkinson's patients have shown modest improvement in symptoms including in some aspects of motor coordination, speech intelligibility and vocal intensity, bradykinesia (slow movement), emotional functions, activities of daily living, and quality of life.
Quality of life is a broad concept comprising morale, mood, self-esteem, daily functioning, pain, general well-being, life satisfaction, and related issues. Music therapy has been associated with improved quality of life in a variety of populations, usually based on regular group sessions over several weeks. Benefits to quality of life from such an approach have been seen in cancer patients, seniors with emphysema, elders in long-term care, terminal/hospice patients, and multiple sclerosis.
Music therapy that includes either chorus or karaoke may improve interpersonal functioning in people with schizophrenia. Music therapy may also help reduce symptoms of schizophrenia, including psychosis. Non-classical music was found to be more effective than classical music. Also, it does not seem to make a difference if the music is live or recorded or if therapy is structured or not structured.
In older adults, music may result in significantly better sleep quality as well as longer sleep duration, greater sleep efficiency, shorter time needed to fall asleep, less sleep disturbance, and less daytime dysfunction. There is also evidence of benefit in elementary-age children or stable preterm infants. Music therapy may also be as effective as chloral hydrate in inducing sleep or sedation in children undergoing EEG testing.
More study is needed in this area before a strong recommendation can be made.
Music therapy may reduce pain and anxiety in adults undergoing heart surgery, although it does not appear to improve heart rate or blood pressure. In children, music therapy may improve heart rate and breathing rate, as well as reduce pain.
Based on early research, music therapy may help children learning English as a second language, although more studies are needed to confirm this finding. Music therapy has also been studied as a possible way to improve learning and communication skills in patients with Rett syndrome or pseudo-Parkinsonian vascular disease.
Routine chest physiotherapy (CPT) is a component of prophylactic therapy in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and requires significant time and energy. There is some evidence that children's tolerance and enjoyment of physiotherapy may benefit from music therapy.
Grieving children may benefit from a group music therapy program in terms of both improved mood and reduced problematic behavior in school.
Music therapy may help maintain mental functioning in elderly adults undergoing surgical procedures, reduce postoperative confusion and delirium, and increase energy levels.
Music therapy may reduce levels of nausea and episodes of vomiting in bone marrow transplant patients during the preparatory period when they are receiving high-dose cyclophosphamide.
A specially designed music therapy may help improve symptoms of ringing in the ears. More research is needed.
Music can have a calming or sedating effect. There is evidence of this in studies of patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, including evidence that colonoscopy patients who used music intervention may have a higher rate of completed colonoscopies and shorter examination time. Other work suggests that patients undergoing spinal anesthesia may have less need for sedative medication during and after surgery.

Tradition / Theory
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Abuse, addiction, adjunct in surgery (reduced stress during extra corporeal membrane oxygenation), aggression, alcoholism, anger, antisocial behavior, asthma, balance, bipolar disorder, brain injuries, breathing difficulties, cardiac conditions, childbirth, cognitive performance enhancement (problem solving), concentration enhancement, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), coping skills, diabetes, dyspnea, eating disorders, epilepsy, headaches, hallucinations (auditory), high blood pressure, impulsivity, increasing agility, irritability, joint mobility, melatonin deficiency (in people with Alzhemier's), migraine (children), motion sickness, multiple sclerosis, muscle tension, neurodermatitis, neurological trauma, post-operative recovery, post-stroke rehabilitation, prevention of pregnancy complications, psoriasis, psychological disorders (low therapy motivation), pulmonary conditions (respiration rate, respiratory muscle strength), rehabilitation, restlessness, spinal cord injury, strength, stroke, well-being (hopelessness).
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Just as certain music can help induce relaxation and peaceful states, other music may cause agitation.
There is evidence that music that reflects the listener's personal preference is more likely to have desired effects.
It is possible that music through headphones during medical procedures could interfere with the patient's cooperation with the procedures. Also, listening to music at high volumes may damage the ears and lead to hearing loss.
Music should not be used as the sole treatment for potentially dangerous medical or psychiatric conditions.
Use is not recommended in those who do not like music therapy as this may result in agitation or stress.

Brantley Gilbert's Bus Catches Fire: The Latest
Everyone is safe after a tour bus belonging to Brantley Gilbert went up in flames.
The fire happened early Monday (March 12) morning, according to Brantley's Instagram. The country star made light of the scary incident in a video he posted, set to his song "Hell on Wheels."
"Hey y'all…. adding pyro back into the set…. working out details now," he wrote. "In all seriousness…. thankful no one was injured…. bus drivers are safe…. I'm safe…. see y'all back on the road soon…."
Brantley isn't the only country star to experience a bus fire. Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott, Lee Brice, Rascal Flatt's Gary LeVox and many others have also survived seeing their home on wheels catch flames.
Brantley is set to continue his The Ones That Like Me Tour in a few weeks.

Samsung Google Nexus Prime: The one post that's as big as the hype
The Samsung Google Nexus Prime (or Samsung Galaxy Nexus, whatever you want to call it), has drummed up more hype than any other Android phone in a long, long time. And not just because information and leaks have been coming out of every which direction, either. There's a lot of confusion surrounding this device. Thankfully, it should all be over shortly. But until it is, let's take a minute to go over what we know, some of the things we've seen and what we think will happen next.
The early rumors
As far back as April of this year, we've been talking about who could manufacturer the Nexus 3. For quite awhile, it seemed LG was a great choice. Not only has LG really stepped it up in the hardware department (starting with the 2X), but they have good connections across the board when it comes to supplier relationships.
As it turned out, we didn't even get confirmation that a new Nexus was coming until early May. Andy Rubin made an announcement about a new Nexus device hitting shelves "sometime in the future," which was the first real start to the rumor mill. After that, it was anyone's guess. (Or up to whoever was lucky enough to get insider information first).
Before last May could come to a close, there seemed to be information coming out of the woodwork supporting an LG Nexus 3. NVIDIA's CEO mentioned that his team was hard at work with Google and Ice Cream Sandwich, the LGp930 received its first leak (that phone was just confirmed as an AT&T LTE device with a 720p IPS display) and a rumored picture of the LG Nexus 3 hit the web.
By mid-June, some rather juicy information was leaked by BGR. According to the site, the next Nexus would be known as the Nexus 4G and would sport an OMAP 4460, 720p HD display, 1 GB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera, 1080p video capture, LTE support and no physical buttons. (Sound really familiar yet?) In the same report, BGR also said this device might not turn out to be THE Nexus device. Maybe it was just the first Ice Cream Sandwich device or the first of more than one Nexus Device. (More on this in a bit). Before the month of June ended, the name Prime was finally a rumor on the web.
The picture becomes clearer
In early July, things finally started to come together. A Romanian Twitter account cited BGR's original post as a source of information on the next Nexus device, saying it would come with an HD Super AMOLED display. At the time, we thought it was a fake. It still might have been. The Romanian Twitter account might have just gotten lucky. We'll never know for sure, but either way it turned out to be pretty accurate.
Right around that time, our own Taylor Wimberly wrote an article saying that Samsung looked to be the most likely candidate for the next Nexus and that the device would come with an OMAP processor. Wouldn't you know it, just a week later in early August, "TI's OMAP 4 [was] pretty much confirmed as lead platform for Ice Cream Sandwich." It looked like Samsung was going to be the clear winner of the Nexus 3 lottery. Just one week later, the Nexus was pegged with a rumored October release date to compete with the next iPhone, now known as the iPhone 4S.
As August continued on, leaks were everywhere. A 720p ICS device from Samsung was spotted in a product road map (GT i9250). Samsung announced their HD Super AMOLED display. Another Samsung road map leaked. The Samsung Prime was rumored to land on Verizon. Verizon announced that the Galaxy S II was not coming to Big Red's airwaves (further supporting a Verizon Prime). The Samsung i9250 (a GSM ICS device) got WiFi certified. The Prime gained the Droid name along with a rumor that it would launch as a Verizon exclusive. And finally the SCH-i515, or the Verizon exclusive Prime, did the BlueTooth SIG shuffle. Phew.
Let's take a second to recap. The next Nexus was now synonymous with the name Prime. A GSM variant had shown up in road maps, as well as during a WiFi certification filing. A CDMA variant was also popping up in filings, as were rumors that the next Nexus, or the Droid/Samsung Prime, would be a Verizon exclusive.
One week later, in early September, that still wouldn't change. When the SCH-i515 (Verizon Prime) showed up for its WiFi certification, the i9250 (Nexus Prime) passed through the BlueTooth SIG. Were there going to be two separate Nexus devices? One bound for Verizon only and one for everybody else? While we were still trying to figure that out, Eric Schmidt made a comment saying Ice Cream Sandwich would be out in October or November. At least the original rumored release date still stood up.
It was right around that time that the first alleged hands-on reports started coming in. After not one, but two different reports of what the device would look like, we started to form a clear picture. A metal device, similar to the Nexus S in shape with a curved display, but still slimmer than its cousin.
Finally, not long after that, Google and Samsung confirmed they'd be announcing Ice Cream Sandwich on October 11.
The last leg of the race
We went into October knowing quite a bit on the upcoming Nexus device. But there was still some key information we didn't know, like who would be carrying the device. The Nexus Prime showed up in Verizon's CellBrite system at the very tail-end of September, but that didn't mean much.
Just when Samsung teased us with the first glimpse of the device, two clear ideas on what the next Nexus would be started to shape up.
BGR was still claiming the Nexus would launch with an OMAP 4460 and that it would be a Verizon exclusive here in the US. They said Nexus Prime was just a code name, and that Samsung Galaxy Nexus would be the launch name. The device they are talking about is clearly the SCH-i515.
GSMArena was claiming the next Nexus is the Nexus Prime, which will launch with dual mode GSM/CDMA technology and an Exynos processor.
It's very possible that both of these devices exist in one way or another. But for now, the only one that has passed the FCC is the GSM i9250 with T-Mobile and AT&T HSPA+. Of course this really means nothing. The GSM Nexus could have just been cleared for use in the US, meaning it won't actually be sold here, still giving Verizon the exclusive. If that's true, then we should be seeing the SCH-i515 clear the FCC very soon.
However the carrier situation for the next Nexus plays out, at least we have one thing down: what the device will look like.
A detailed video of the next Nexus hit the web just five days ago. It looks identical to what we've been hearing for a long time now. Metal bezel (the back is actually a faux metal material), curved display and of course, Ice Cream Sandwich.
Since that video has leaked, nothing else has surfaced. The announcement of the Nexus has been delayed due to the passing of tech icon Steve Jobs (not a patent violation, like some would have you believe). So here we sit. And wait. For something, anything to come along. But in the meantime, here's what we think will go down.
Final predictions
Let's just start off by saying Google would be mad to release just one Nexus device, exclusive to Verizon. Big Red would love it, no doubt, but customers would be furious. While we do believe a CDMA/LTE Nexus device exists for Verizon, it isn't the only one. And it won't be the only one in the US, either. More and more reports keep coming in, saying that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be a Verizon exclusive. That would be suicide. Especially after Apple's announcement of iPhone 4S availability on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint. And besides, it doesn't make sense from all the leaks we've seen so far. We haven't even seen an FCC clearing for the Verizon version of the next Nexus, only one that would work on AT&T and T-Mobile.
Verizon may have initial exclusivity of the Nexus Prime, or Galaxy Nexus, but they won't be the only US carriers to handle the device. At least they shouldn't. We say the next Nexus device will release on all four major carriers in the US. Maybe not all at once, but eventually it will be available. And there's a good chance it will be announced soon. Very soon. As in within a weeks time.
When it comes down to it, no one really knows what Google has in store for us until they let us know. But once they do, you can be sure to find a ton of coverage on it here at Android and Me.
How about it, readers? Any final predictions? Let it all out in the comments below.

1 recipe Potato Skordalia, recipe follows
4 (6-ounce) swordfish fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Essence, for seasoning fish, recipe follows
3 cups cooked white beans
1/4 cup finely chopped red onions
1 small red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Potato Skordalia:
1 pound boiling (such as red bliss) potatoes, halved with the skin on
5 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons good-quality red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 to 1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning
(also referred to as Bayou Blast):
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup
repare Potato Skordalia, cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
Preheat a grill to medium-high. Brush the swordfish fillets with the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Season both sides with Essence. When the grill is hot grill the fish until medium, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and cover to keep warm.
Combine the white beans with red onions, roasted red peppers, lemon zest, cilantro, parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Adjust seasonings with the salt and pepper, and toss well.
To serve place a grilled fillet on each of 4 dinner plates. Top each with the white bean relish and desired amount of the Potato Skordalia. Garnish with lemon wedges and cilantro sprigs.
Potato Skordalia
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and cool. Peel the potatoes, discarding the skins. Push them through a ricer into a medium bowl and set aside.
Pound the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle until smooth. Add the garlic mixture to the potatoes and stir well. Gradually add the vinegar, lemon juice, and the oil, pounding or stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Adjust seasonings with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add more oil if desired.

It's finally finished! A rosy, colorful little room behind an ordinary closet door. A place for buttons and rickrack and ribbon, for planning, making, drawing and painting. It's been in progress for a while - I shared illustrated plans back in May and I've been slowly collecting things since December starting with the sewing table I bought without having any closet dimensions handy - luckily it fit perfectly.The table is absolutely my favorite part of the closet. I found it on Craigslist for $15 and my dad adjusted it so it would work with my sewing machine and even made an additional piece to fill in the "hole" in the tabletop when the sewing machine is removed. This means it can double as a craft table. I sanded it, gave it a few coats of paint (Ionic Sky, by Behr), topped it off with water based polyurethane for extra durability and added a knob I've been saving for just the right project.
Pegboards just seemed like the most practical solution for frequently used and awkwardly shaped tools, but at the same time I wanted to dedicate some of the very limited wall space for a writable surface (to make lists and quickly jot ideas) -the chalkboard-pegboard was born! I originally planned to make them magnetic as well, but from what I read magnetic paint is both expensive and not always successful. Making these was a quick project and I'm satisfied with the results; I use them with a set of fine tip liquid chalk pens which work well for writing in between the pegboard holes. Right on the inside of the door a memo board hangs from a pink satin ribbon. This was a must since I'm always collecting interesting paper things - postcards from museum gift shops, old photographs from the flea market, pretty calling cards and vintage stamps. It's also a great place to pin loose drawings or notes.The top shelf provides the bulk of storage - it has a lot of depth and vertical space. I love the way everything up there acquires a pinkish glow from the paper lantern that hangs from the ceiling. I've been using those stacking plastic storage boxes for craft supplies for a few years - they're inexpensive, visually neutral and easy to find in case I need more. As part of the closet project I made some magnetic chalkboard labels with extra paint so in the event of future rearranging and reorganizing, I can change what the labels say and where they're situated on the box.
I couldn't feel more fortunate to have a place to entirely dedicate to creative pursuits. I hope this inspires you to set a side a little time and space - however small it might be for the things you love to do!

oh my word, livy! you have really outdone yourself. your craft closet is terrific. i love all the details and the pegboard chalkboards are just brilliant. i have chalkboard fabric and would like to get some of those pens you mentioned.
it just goes to show that you don't need a large space to have a beautiful, creative environment. the image collages you created are also really wonderful. i'm inspired to try something similar. thank you!

Wow! It is AWESOME! Do you think you could post more pics? I would like to see more of the closet, the doors with the memo boards...just more! It's lovely, very inspiring. Did you have electrical in the closet or did you have it put in? I am guessing the wall lights, also, how do the magnetic labels work on the boxes? do you have a magnet inside the box? or are they taped on? Sorry if that seems like a silly question! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Hi - yes the labels work with a magnet on the inside of the box. Then there's a magnet glued to the back of the wooden ovals painted with chalkboard paint. The magnets sandwich the box, that way I can move them around or take them off, etc.
There is no electrical in the closet - I just ran an extension cord in from a nearby outlet. None of the wiring is concealed inside the wall (I rent), but I did spend a lot of time tacking down the wires with a kit I got at Ikea. All the wires were white too, so that helped. If you look closely you can see the wires from the wall mounted lights running under the upper shelf.
Unfortunately I don't have anymore pictures right now, maybe in the future. It is such a small space that is is almost impossible to get a shot from within it. Plus there is limited natural light so things come out blurry.
