I had written in my other blog on how I was thinking about buying a guitar for my 4 year old with Asperger's. Someone had mentioned to me some product called Paper Jams I believe. They told me these would be great for my son and explained to me how they had all types of instruments including an amp. So I was going to look it up when I came across a Blackheart on my search. This would not be a good choice for my son, but I am sure some of you guitar players would appreciate it. While I am at it, I am looking for some guest bloggers for my music category. So if you are interested please contact me as soon as possible. I would love to get guest bloggers in all categories.

When I was in Junior High School, I learned how to play a few musical instruments. My specialty and first love was and still is the Alto Saxophone. Back then in my school all the girls either played the Flute or Clarinet. I was the only girl on that side of the classroom and I was very proud of that. Since the music teacher back then thought a girl should only be playing those 2 instruments and I showed him otherwise. Since then many girls have played what is considered boy instruments, such as the drums, trumpet, saxophones, trombone etc..
We had many instruments in our music class but I don't recall ever seeing a dave smith instrument. Dave Smith is an engineer and guitarist and is the one who discovered first polyphonic and microprocessor-controlled synthesizer, the Prophet 5. He has received numerous awards for his work over the years. He was known as the "Father of MIDI". Look him up you will surely learn something new.

I have been wanting to do a blog make over for sometime now. I just never really found the time to redo the design of this blog over. With so much needing to be done in a day, I never had the chance to redo this blog. But I made the promise that I would redo the blog for the upcoming year. I will also be leaving the b2evolution platform. To think how long I had been working with WordPress but never changed this blog over to WordPress is so crazy. I love WordPress and I am not a fan of this platform, but I had stuck to it since this blog went live because of time constraints. So no more excuses! I am moving the blog over to WordPress and I am redoing the design of this site finally!!! Once the transformation begins I will let you all know as there maybe some bugs that you may notice. I have hundreds of posts that have to be moved over as well as working on the new design. So please bear with me if you see anything not working right. With this new make over there will be a ton of new reviews coming as well. But that will begin once the change is complete.

I am trying to help a friend of mine, who is looking to buy subwoofer speakers. The thing is he just doesn't want any old subwoofers, he wants the best subwoofer speakers he can find. The one thing I have been trying to tell him, is that you can search the net for hours reading reviews and seeing what people vote for the most, but that does not mean that they will be right for you. You have to look into many factors and details about each product to see if they offer all that you are looking for, add price to that, what price are you willing to pay? When you get all that information then and only then you can make an informed decision. When I am looking for products, I read reviews on it and do my research as well. There have been many times where I read bad reviews on products, but when I went ahead and purchased the product, I had no problems with it like others. But the reverse is true as well, I had purchased products and had nothing but problems with it and it has received good reviews. So it's all up to the person who is buying the product in the end.

Lately I have been hearing more about companies who are hiring workers from home. Some companies are hiring workers for order fulfillment. What you would be doing is taking calls and orders for companies that sell various products online, through magazines etc.. You would be taking orders for customers who want to buy these products and then forwarding the orders to the company, sometimes the companies have special software you have to use. I heard the pay was pretty good, but you must take a test sometimes to get these jobs and you must have a quiet place to work. If you decide to try and work for a company make sure they are legit. No company should ever make you pay money in order for them to hire you.

This past Christmas I bought my daughters some MP3 players, now it was very long process trying to find the right one. There are so many different kinds to choose from. I mean not only that there are many different sizes as well. My kids are like me they really love listening to music. I got my oldest an Ipod and my other daughter a regular MP3 player since she is smaller. They both enjoy it and they both can still put a ton a music on them, its amazing how much music on of those machines can hold.

I am not sure if you heard about the dangers of listening to mp3 players and the like for long periods of time. It’s been featured on the news lately. If you are thinking about giving one of these devices as a present for Christmas this year or if you already own one of these devices then you need to read this. Even if you don’t own one, but know someone that does then be sure to pass along this post.
It is said that if you listen to one of these devices for long periods of time, or pump up the volume you can actually lose your hearing. You can lose your hearing over time and if you do begin to lose your hearing they say that this cannot be reversed.
Phonak the largest hearing device and hearing aid company in the world
Invented a new set of sound isolating ear buds – called Audéo Perfect Fit Earphones (PFE).
The Audéo earphones recently received high marks from a reviewer from Scholastic for the product’s quality and sound safety levels for children: http://blogs.scholastic.com/techtools/2008/11/listen-to-this.html.

I actually own a set of these earphones and I am very impressed with the sound quality and the way they fit in my ears. I actually bought some mp3 players for my kids for Christmas and I am going to let them use the earphones as well.
What is great about these earphones is that Audéo provides comfort and excellent sound quality without sacrificing the health of your ears, allowing customers better control of listening levels by isolating the sound.

Did you know that the European Union issued a warning to its citizens regarding the potential risk of hearing loss associated with unsafe listening levels of mp3 players. A study conducted by EU scientists suggests that between 2.5 million and 10 millions Europeans could be at risk. The study has implications in the U.S. as millions of Americans are not aware of the dangers of listening to levels over 89 decibels.

It’s something that everyone should be aware of and this is what, Audeo is trying to do with their earphones. If you are concerned about your hearing or someone you know you can get a free online hearing test at http://www.hear-the-world.com
