Low Vision Tools

my freind would like to use the computor but has very poor eye sight milecular degeneration.

I suggest you read the user manual for your friend, and then make the necessary changes.
I assume you are using XP.

It has built-in accessories to help the visually handicapped, but you might have to use the: control panel->add/remove programs->windows components and load the "accessibility" tools that you need if they are not already loaded.

These include high-contrast fonts, magnifier, etc. NOTE: you might also have to set the Internet options to use the Machine settings on web pages, rather than the "default" page fonts.

There are also text to voice programs available that will "read" the pages, (like an audio book.)

part four

i'd like to present that...
since accurate vision, high attention span, and alertness are essential tools in performing well, and sleeplessness will yield poor vision, low attention span and confusion; then it follows that sleeplessness will bring poor academic performance.

how should i present it? what will i use (venn diagram, flowchart, etc - which will work best?)

Don't you need evidence to support that those 3 are really essential to high performance? Does it necessitate that an absence of the three would bring poor performance? Maybe it would simply yield moderate performance.
Don't you need evidence that sleeplessness interferes with those 3?

Hi, I'm doing a project for school on paranormal investigating, and I need proper tools because I'm spending a while in an allegedly haunted house. However, I'm quite short on cash, so if anyone could tell me if there's any way I can either get the below listed items for a very low price (free- $30.00) or how I could possibly make them or substitute for them, please tell me!

Items Needed:
EMF Meter
Infrared Cameras/Thermometers/Light Sources
Digital Voice Recorders
White Noise Generators
Digital Camcorders
Night Vision

EMF Meter - Compass
(it won't detect power outlets but a strong enough magnetic field will make it spin)

Digital Voice Recorder - tape recorder
(it will also record sound and at the end of the night you have a tape that others can listen to that they can't say you enhanced (faked) on your computer)

White Noise Generator - Portable AM Radio tuned between channels to the static

Digital Camcorder - Film Camera loaded with high speed film

Night Vision - Flashlight (or leave the lights on)

You will also need a some pens, a notebook, and a watch so you can write down what happens and when it happens.

If you want to try to locate a ghost hunting group in your area I suggest trying the links below.

Please e-mail if I might be of further assistance.

I'm replacing all the windows in my home with vinyl, double hung, tilt out windows. There are so very many different brands and I would like to buy the right ones. I want to buy the quality windows without paying for a lot of name in the product. Is there a big difference in the lower end units as compared to the upper end windows? I'm looking at Atrium 4700, Vision 2000, and ReliaBilt. What do you think? I'm not a carpenter but I want to do these myself. I have the tools and the time since I've retired. I was an electrician all my life.

There are differences between the good brands and the cheap ones, but even the cheap ones are better than the counter hung sashes in the older homes.

I personally wouldn't put double hung windows in. No one ever opened the top sash any way, but still it would make the improvement more valuable.

If it was a rental, I'd do it cheap. If it was my house, I'd purchase better ones, though price doesn't indicate quality all the time.

If you search around, you can usually get them built to fit and installed for around $250 a window or less. I mean, retirement is for boating and playing golf, not installing windows. LOL

Good Luck

Please don't rant about how crazy I am, and I must warn you this is long and very detailed. This all happened in a matter of about 10-20 minutes, and my eyes were closed. I WAS COMPLETELY CONSCIOUS. I was talking to one of my friends in person. I heard my TV going in the background and everything. I know I wasn't dreaming; tears were streaming down my face and I was still talking when I opened my eyes and I was still on the phone. I was awake, trust me.
So this is how it starts;

I see a very low fence like thing that had a big stone and tall grass behind it. It was on a hill or valley; it goes dip, hill, then another dip. About five steps in front of the fence is a house with a tan border and a tan-brown like roof, and the house was white. In the far-dip valley like thing is another house; it's grayish white and two little girls were playing on the left side of it (right side from my view). The house on the hill had a shotgun laying in the grass, and I later realized the 'fence' was actually like a poorly built track for horses or something, and had two brown horses in it. There was also a man. He was a tall, African man who was very muscularly built. He had on a light brown jumper like thing, and a orange cut-off sleeved shirt. The whole time he wouldn't turn around. At first I got a very mysterious vibe about him. As my view changed, I now saw the front of the house. It had a small window in the front and a gray door on the left side. For some reason, I felt like the year was either 1889 or 1918. But anyway, as I turn vision I see the man; he has a very broad jaw-line and a long, rounded nose. First I thought he was related to me because of the nose, but his was alot longer. His eyebrows were wrinkled up like he was thinking of something or frustrated. As I saw him more, I felt really scared or confused, frustrated, mad, upset and sad..
There was something wrong.
The more he stared at me, the more I got scared. I started crying, saying that he didn't want me there (I was talking to my friend while I was crying and describing everything, and literally said "He doesn't want me here, I think I did something to him") Then I see the two little girls. The first one was wearing a blue dress with a white bow that tied in the back. For some reason I think she was about seven. Then it was a small red-head girl in a yellow dress and she was either four or five. They both gave me the same stare the man did, but their's wasn't as harsh. They looked more afraid. I felt helpless, like I didn't know what to do to make them happy or something. But the man stayed in the track thing for a while, just plowing the grass or raking something? It was a really pretty landscape. I turn around and see all the trees in the back. It was a really dark area and I remember thinking "Something's happened there.." The man starts looking to the other side, and I see a church. It felt really sad and depressing, so immediately I thought a funeral. Then I said it was a funeral for a female. I turn my attention back to him and it felt like I was saying "Why aren't you there?!" The man throws his tool down and goes inside. The inside of the house is really basic, nothing special or peculiar about it. He starts pacing in a hallway and I sit there and watch him. It was like I was asking him what I was supposed to do and he tells me "I want you to leave me alone, woman!" For some reason, I have a strong feeling the woman's name was Anna Mae.I wasn't Jasmine, the person I am now. And this Anna Mae woman was extremely tough. She wasn't afraid of hurting this man and in some sick way she got a thrill from making him mad. She was frightened by him but didn't want it to show. I (Jasmine) started crying as soon as I saw him. There's something really scary about him. I (Anna Mae) kept saying he was a real malicious, clever person. Like he was really manipulative and evil. I feel like his name was Lucifer, or Leon. But it reaaally feels like Lucifer. As the day got darker "Anna Mae" became more scared. As her, I felt like he was going to hurt me, or do something to me. I then felt something really disturbing..my attention turned to the shotgun and I started to cry hysterically and kind of hypervinalate. My friend freaked out and asked me was I okay. I burst out "HE KILLED MY SISTER." I don't have a sister in real life, but as Anna Mae, my sister's name was Christine, and Lucifer killed her. I (Anna Mae) kept saying he either loved her or loved me. But he loved one of us yet he was trying to hurt us, and push us away. I wouldn't leave him though. I stayed there and waited until dark. I knew something was going to happen, but I was too stubborn or naive to leave. So finally he stops pacing. He runs to the front, says "I told you to leave, me, ALONE" and shoots me. I die, and I open my eyes..
I couldn't make this up if I tried.
What I felt was unbelieveable. It felt like I really was living her life, and she wasn't happy. Lucifer scared me (as Jasmine) and I didn't like him at all. He was a really evil person and I could feel it. I've never had anything like this happen to me before, but last night was the first time I felt something like a male voice whisper in my ear too.
Do you think this was a vision?
How would you explain this to someone?
I'm so scared it's going to happen again, and I don't like it at all.

Thanks in advance.
Sorry it was so long, but like I said, it was detailed.
I'm only thirteen. So any 'potential' I guess you could say with this whole seeing stuff thing could grow. I just really don't want it too, but it might.
My great grandma had dreams of certain things when people were pregnant or dead, and was always right. It's been passed down to my grandma, my mom, and my aunt. I don't really have dreams like that, but I'm really intuitive; like knowing what people are gonna say before they say it. I've had something like this happen before but it was for a nanosecond. I later saw it on TV, but I didn't really think much of it, just as a coincidence..

And I do believe in reincarnation. I write music and poetry, and often get comments about how depressing or 'experienced' it'd sound. I'm a real;ly happy person, usually optimistic. But when it comes to my creativity, it's like a different person takes over? I can't explain it, but it's like I'm not even the one writing it. If I was reincarnated, I think I used to be a woman who was betrayed somehow and had a very difficult love life..It's depressing, really.
I don't think my family is from africa or the carribean, not recently anyways. But lately, for some odd reason, all the names in my dream are from French or Latin terms. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't voodooism (sorry for terminology is misused) connected with the French? Louisianna and all. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it..
Trust me, I've been trying to psyche myself out of what I saw all day; I thought of every possible book and movie I've seen or read, and nothing was like this. I then thought of past regression, but they saw it's like you're watching it on a TV? I was there, I was Anna Mae and I felt everything she felt. She wasn't happy and for some reason I was empathizing her emotions. I just wish I could say it didn't happen. And thanks to the guy who said I'm extremely intelligent..I think?

It is very hard to answer your question. A waking dream seems like a long stretch. A vision? I just am not sure but would like to give you a couple of things to think about.

You said there is something handed down among women in your family. Are you from another culture? Is your family recently from Africa or the Carribbean? Do they practice Vodun or Santeria?

While I hear your respect for women in your family...I have had a similar heritage, although I am white...I also hear, as I myself experienced when young...I hear fear and your reluctance to experience this again.

If you are involved in any of these religions, I want to be careful not to be disrespectful. I am going to answer as a Christian or out of the Judeo-Christian tradition. So if you are not open to this, please don't be offended but take it as it is offered...my best answer.

Lucifer is the angel who fell. The presence of Lucifer and the gun and the fear do not cause me to want you to pursue this as a religious vision.

You have a choice. You can reject this as a vision or prophesy. I see no reason for God to give you such a frightening prophesy. I would suggest that if you feel it is a vision, you say no to it in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. And then walk away without fear.

The presence of Lucifer suggests this vision, if that is what it is, is from the Christian or Jewish tradition.

There is another possibility. Could this be something frightening that really happened to you and your mind is trying to cope with it by re-living it.

I am glad your friend was on the phone with you. THis is very heavy stuff for age 13.

I will pray for your safety, whether this is emotional or spiritual in nature, and that you find the truth or that this simply never happens again.
