ScienceDaily (Nov. 28, 2001) — CHICAGO (Nov. 27) -- Deaf people sense vibration in the part of the brain that other people use for hearing – which helps explain how deaf musicians can sense music, and how deaf people can enjoy concerts and other musical events. "These findings suggest that the experience deaf people have when 'feeling' music is similar to the experience other people have when hearing music. The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain," says Dr. Dean Shibata, assistant professor of radiology at the University of Washington. he could not hear the higher notes. he sawed off the legs of the piano to hear the vibrations. when he turned completely death he became withdrawn but later came back and made his best works, esp, the ninth symphony. http://www.google.com/notebook/?hl=en#b=BDQGGDQoQ8P25j-Ij Psychological Immunization - trauma breeds insensitivity to further trauma. 2. Psycho-immunological Rapid Rebound - making sense out of trauma hastens recovery. 3. Psycho-immunological Hardiness - the experience of adversity and its aftermath takes the person to a higher level of functioning. Despite unintelligible distortions of sound and an unstable tonal range, he created some of the world's most magnificent music. His psychological immune system helped him to hear what those having the ability to hear could not imagine by finding meaning through his disability. http://www.intuitive-connections.net/2004/book-beethoven.htm some have had Synaesthesia (although this is clearly not a disability or disorder) where various aspects of one sense give rise to perceptions in another sense. For example, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is said to have had synaesthetically colored musical keys which were assigned as follows: B major gloomy, dark blue with steel shine Bb major darkish A major clear, pink Ab major greysh-vioket G major brownish-gold, light F# major green, clear (color of greenery) F major green, clear (color of greenery) E major blue, sapphire, bright Eb major dark, gloomy, grey-bluish D major daylight, yellowish, royal Db major darkish, warm C major white http://scienceblogs.com/omnibrain/2007/04/the_impact_of_failing_vision_o.php

Fridays and Friends, i guess?

Today is a wonderful friday! things have been running really smooth with the start off of a wonderful luncheon that my boss threw for the ERT members. Good Job michele!��today is the start off to hopefully a really relaxing and exciting weekend! My nephew is turning 1 year old tomorrow, its funny how fast 12 months can fly and a person's life can change in just so little time. with my new nephew around, the family has definitely came closer and so has the age of the rest of our family to start popping out some kids. Im now 21 years old (still in my Prime) but have considered maybe having one for sake of a new chapter to start in my everyday routine life. BUT, Im pretty happy not having to deal with the worries and headaches that come with a child. I plan to live up my prime as much as possilbe. Lately, I been trying to figure out if my friends are my true friends. I lived an hour away a few months back and i just recently moved closer to my hometown and things still seem distant with them. I would always make the effort to make time for them and spend $40.00 dollars a saturday just so i could be in the comfort of my old high school chicas! but the favor hasnt been returned as often as i would like and as often I made time for them! Oh well, is all i can say now but in time hopefully there effort will improve. besides all the sad stories i can go on and on about, my new place, I absolutely adore! everyday after work i love to go home walk through the door and slip off my 4 inch high heels, and dig my toes into the plush carpet in the living room, grab a blanket and veg out on the couch watching my fav, "what not to wear." tonight will be one of those nights, maybe but i think i might have me a glass a wine and add my new cozy slippers i bought. Happy Friday everyone!

Confused

�Yesterday I recieved a note from an old friend. We were friends all through Middle School when she moved here,but then it all seemed to change within these last two years. In our Junior year we were still hanging out an just not talking at school. Sadly now that we are seniors,she doesn't talk to me at all. Her boyfriend doesn't like her talking to me so she doesn't want to cause a fight with him by talking to me.

You see yesterday she gave me a note at the end of the day telling me that she wanted to be my friend, but she didn't want anyone to know about it. She kept telling me her boyfriend would get mad about it. That and we don't hang with the same group of friends anymore so she doesn't want her group or my group to know that we are talking. I am not allowed to text her unless we are in school otherwise I have to write her notes and talk to her that way.

I don't know how to respond to this at all. I mean we use to be good friends,but now that she has a boyfriend, she seems to good for me. That and her new group she hangs with hates me with a passion and I don't like them either. They just think they are better than the rest and they use to be some of my friends before we all hit high school.

I don't know if I should just go along with this and just stick to texting during school and writing notes back in forth or just give up. I don't feel like she can truely want to be my friend if she wants to hide our friendship. Please if anyone can give me some advice on this. If she makes a good point and I should just try and make this work or just stick with my gut and not give a care about it. Please if you could give me some advice let me know.

Thanks!

The Forum

I dreamed I went back to my old job and I was so nervous about if I'd be accepted back. I realized I wasn't wearing any socks and had to put some on, etc, I was 15-20 min. late because of that. I didn't know the nurses at the nurses station. There were too many of them and I was afraid that my being called in was a fluke. Because of the dream, in my heart I know I miss it.

I am not shocked or amazed anymore when he lies, which is each and everyday. He really, at 55 years old, cannot stop it. He asked me to go into his coat pocket to see if his white card was in there because he uses it to get into the games. (Coaches card.) While looking in there I came across a card from Skates on the Bay. I am on the phone with him when I mentioned the card. He tells me that is from a month ago. I tell that he has never taken me there. He again tells me that he did this weeks ago. Now of course he's getting irritated which tells me even more. He continuously asking me if I found the card. I ask him again when he went to Skates and he still brushing me off. I look at the reciept and notice that the date is December 6, 2008. Wait...that was this past Saturday! I look at the time and when the order was given it was 10:27! What the fuck? I tell him this and now he's telling me that he and Duke went to Skates. Whoa! He just told me Sunday how Duke was crazy for staying up there in Reno overnight. Now he's telling me that Duke and he went to Skates. So I am suppose to believe that he and Duke drove all the way down from up above Reno, past Vallejo and drove over the bridge to Berkeley. Then of course he wants to take the route of how when we're getting along I mess things up. It is really a good thing this conversation was on the phone because he knows I would have punched him in the face and probably grabbed a handful of those ugly, nasty looking dreads and yanked the shit out of him. That's okay I just charged me up a new duffel bag with my name on it. I think I will purchse more stuff later on. What an ass and a liar! Tried to tell me that Duke was no longer with his wife and that it was Duke who was creeping. Don't think when I see Duke I am going to ask him.
