Better error message when Protocol file doesn't load

For now a typo in a protocol file results in:

File "/Users/amedee/workspace/fealines/src/main.py", line 45, in
main()
File "/Users/amedee/workspace/fealines/src/main.py", line 40, in main
main.executeProtocol()
File "/Users/amedee/workspace/fealines/src/main.py", line 33, in executeProtocol
self.pcl = Protocol('./protocols/calibration.json')
File "/Users/amedee/workspace/fealines/src/Protocol/feaProtocol.py", line 12, in init
json_protocol = json.load(contents)
File "/anaconda/lib/python2.7/json/init.py", line 290, in load
**kw)
File "/anaconda/lib/python2.7/json/init.py", line 338, in loads

obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
File "/anaconda/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode
obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
ValueError: Expecting property name: line 5 column 5 (char 80)

We should catch an error an say something nicer

Make Calibration non-blocking

Calibration makes calls to system('say') which blocks everything to say the word. Need to do that in a thread

Packaging/Build step

There is a setup.py file but it still requires users to get a few dependencies from other places.
Also I want to have a packaged app to send people done by this week

Recent protocols menu doesn't work

Play sound near end of Step

The muse app plays a sound near the end of each step so you know when to open your eyes. We should do that.

Step duration parsing badly thought out

Step duration parsing was done in thirty seconds with:
string.split(":") -> an array assumed to have three parts
I need that to handle other sizes. It should be:

45 -> seconds
1:30 -> minutes: seconds
1:1:30: -> hours:minutes:seconds

Connection Bars don't fill up entirely

Need to think out steps without durations

Some steps just take however long they need to take, like the connection step which ends whenever the headband is sending good data.
Some steps might not want to show a timer for how long they take.

Clean up pyqtgraph.Qt imports

Most Qt dependent things are imported through a blanket

from pyqtgraph.Qt import QtGui

or similar.
We need Pyqt4 for a few things, so let's use it everywhere and change all the imports to more specific Pyqt4 ones.

Reload protocols

The app needs to be restarted after a protocol is run because of some Qt/python/ memory deallocating nonsense.

Need a tool to read data files

Default values for step sublcasses

Connection Steps, Calibration Steps should have default values for duration and stuff.
They may have their own properties. How do we let them have extra properties while still having their super class' (Step) property parsing.
