Astigmatism -> could it become worse after 4 months?
4 months ago i went to an ophthalmologist and she told me i was starting to develop astigmatism. It was really few, it's like, i have 0.75 in my left eye and my right eye is perfect. She told me if i had no headaches i had nothing to worry about. But 2 months ago i got a job where i have to work 8 to 10 hours per day in front of a computer and i find it hard to focus my sight whilst working on little details, which is what i do all the time! Surely i have to wear glasses, even if it's only for working. well.. now the other question is: i don't want to spend 70 euros to go to an ophthalmologist again, neither have to wait 1 month to get an appointment in public health system (it's how things work in Portugal, unfortunately). So, i want to go to a store and make a free sight test, as some places do. The thing is, some people say they aren't such accurate, and my father was a case who confirms that. i have the examination results, so i can compare. but it was 4 months ago. Could it get worse after that time? oh and i forgot to mention, my eyes kinda hurt in the end of every day.

im not sure about it getting worse, but im pretty sure you should be wearing glasses, i know tonnes of people who have this condition and it means that one of their eyes moves in and doesnt focus well, so they need glasses to correct it. i would get your eye test done at a store, compare it to your current test...its free you say, so you haent got anythign to lose, if its pretty similar then you will know, and if they are simiar you can get your own glasses arranged online. i cant afford glasses from the opticians, so i get mine online for a quarter of the price, if not more, and they are just fine:)
2 :
Did the doctor give you glasses? You should have gotten a prescription even for a slight astigmatism. I have actually the same situation after I had my baby 4 months ago and I was given prescription eyeglasses even if it was only for reading. I was told to wear them at the computer as well because I was getting headaches because of my eye sight. So you need to get glasses.

Hi Evora is a great city with everything you might need. Not much to say about that. I just want to warn you about the heat!!!! Get ready to melt in summer time!!! I'm not joking....you can fry an egg on the floor!! Best wishes and bring tons of summer clothes!
2 :
Good choice! Évora is an old and historic city (with a university, that is one of the oldest in Europe (!!!!)) The place is good for familiy and children - alentejanos (the people from Alentejo), are very friendly, but you have to respect their customs! (for ex: there are many orange trees in Évora. Don't pick a single orange...) It has a very interesting cultural life. Shopping is so so. Jobs, you don't find a lot... PS - In summer, heat can really melt your brain. In winter, is also cold (well, for Portugal's standarts...)
3 :
Evora is too far to commute to Lisbon but if you want to relax then you have a good place. for jobs, entertainment and shopping no but to raise kids yes.
4 :
Evora is a small town in the middle of the country, in the part of Portugal called Alentejo. It is beautiful and with lots of history (the have some marvellous Roman ruins there). It is small and quiet and relatively safe for children. I don't think there will be a lot of job posibilities for foreigners there. The bus fra Evora to Lisbon takes approx. 2 hours.

How can I measure ingredients for baking without scales? Please help daughters birthday emergency
How can I measure ingredients for baking without scales? Please help daughters birthday emergency!?
Hi, it is my daughters birthday and she wants fairy cakes which would be very simple if we wernt living in Portugal on my husbands work contract and have no scales!! I normally use 125g of flour, butter & caster sugar & 2 eggs (plus a bit of milk) Can anyone please either help me convert that, or give me a different recipe please. I am from the UK so if you are a kind US reply I have no idea what a cup is??? Thank you so much!

1 :
125g flour is generally equal to 1 cup (8 oz). Even though weight is a better way of baking, most American recipes are reflected in volume measurements for ease.
2 :
a cup of flour is about 110 grams.
3 :
Well, I am US and I do try to always be kind - so here is my answer: One pound of flour is roughly 3 1/2 cups and one pound equals 455 grams. So 455 divided by 3 1/2 = 130 grams per cup. Roughly. Here is more: All-purpose Flour and Confectioners' Sugar U.S. Cups Grams 1/8 cup 15 grams 1/4 cup 30 grams 1/3 cup 40 grams 3/8 cup 45 grams 1/2 cup 60 grams 5/8 cup 70 grams 2/3 cup 75 grams 3/4 cup 85 grams 7/8 cup 100 grams 1 cup 110 grams This is from a "Continental Cooking" Cookbook I often use.
4 :
Do you mean convert it to oz? I'm not sure what you need converting, esp. if you aren't using cups... but anyways, one ouce is equal to 28.35 g. Seems like a small cake recipe...
5 :
It should be easy to get the weight of the butter approximately right, just estimate the weight going by the overall weight of the butter in the pack (eg half a 250g pack). Then you could improvise a set of scales with eg a ruler, some string and some plastic bags. adjust the amounts of sugar and flour until they weigh the same as the butter and each other. good luck!
6 :
I know it probably a little to late, but there is a website that has very a very accurate weight/volume conversion program: http://www.gourmetsleuth.com Just click "conversions" on the menu bar at the top and the rest is self-explanatory.

At our wedding I want to have a Portuguese song as our first dance. The reason being I went to work in Portugal and heard this song which I absolutely loved. Obviously it is in Portuguese with no English version. When I came home I let my partner hear it and he loved it too and since then we both listen to it a lot.

Hey, You are already doing a great job checking and double checking. If you are still afraid making mistakes maybe you can read up on the subject regards your work so you learn a bit more or maybe come in on a free day to practice. keep on looking after yourself. Over time you will make less and less mistakes. Also try to make many friends at work. Its much harder for a manager to single you out if you know a lot of people.

You can apply for the visa at your country of residence or at your home country. For the visa application you must show an appropriate flight reservation. Should you plan to travel from India you would need to show such flight reservation and also show a departure flight reservation, either to India or to Dubai. If you plan to book a flight via London, United Kingdom you would also need to get a British Direct Airside Transit Visa although you stay in the international transit zone of the airport. Should you transit through other Schengen countries (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, or Spain) you will need to enter the country you arrive first in column 23. of the visa application since you would need to clear immigration in that country and proceed on to Portugal on a Schengen domestic flight without immigration controls. The visa application can be made up to three months prior to the planned travel date. The application in the United Arab Emirates must be addressed to the Embassy of Spain in Abu Dhabi which acts in behalf of Portugal for visa applications. http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Embajadas/AbuDhabi/es/MenuPpal/ingles/Consular/Visas/Paginas/visas.aspx ..

Portugal is the Schengen country with the poorest online information about visa application. In general the requirements for a Schengen visa are similar however there may be local peculiarities which differ from country to country. Required documentation: • Schengen visa application form duly completed and signed by the applicant • two passport type photographs [35x45mm], in color and plain background • passport, valid for at least three months beyond the proposed stay • document evidence of the purpose of travel [statement of your studying institute; invitation of the Portuguese institute] • proof of the conditions of accommodation [hotel reservation] • proof of sufficient funds [bank statements]; at least €74.82 [~$110] plus €39.90 [~$59] per day of stay. • proof of travel health insurance which covers the costs arising from a repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or urgent hospital treatment, valid for the entire Schengen zone; the minimum coverage is €30,000 [$45,000]. For detailed requirements you should try to call during their [redicolous] operation hours or send an e-mail; alternately you could try to get information from the Newark consulate.

Hi Naveen, I am also an Indian passport holder with F1 visa. I need to go to Portugal for a conference in first week of Oct'09. It will be great if you can share any information you have with me.

I called the Consulate General in NYC, but nobody answered. I am in Albany, NY. I am traveling to Portugal for a conference in the first week of Sept, 2009. Any info will be helpful. (I am planning to go directly to the consulate general in a week if nothing else works .)

Portugal is the Schengen country with the poorest online information about visa application. In general the requirements for a Schengen visa are similar however there may be local peculiarities which differ from country to country. Required documentation: • Schengen visa application form duly completed and signed by the applicant • two passport type photographs [35x45mm], in color and plain background • passport, valid for at least three months beyond the proposed stay • document evidence of the purpose of travel [statement of your studying institute; invitation of the Portuguese institute] • proof of the conditions of accommodation [hotel reservation] • proof of sufficient funds [bank statements]; at least €74.82 [~$110] plus €39.90 [~$59] per day of stay. • proof of travel health insurance which covers the costs arising from a repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or urgent hospital treatment, valid for the entire Schengen zone; the minimum coverage is €30,000 [$45,000]. For detailed requirements you should try to call during their [redicolous] operation hours or send an e-mail; alternately you could try to get information from the Newark consulate. New York Consul-General: Alexandre Manuel Galvão Mexia de Almeida Fernandes 590 Fifth Ave. - 3rd Floor New York, NY 10036 United States of America Opening hours: from 10 am to 2 pm Telephone: 1 212-221 31 65 Fax: 1 212-221 34 62 E-mail: mail@cgnyk.dgaccp.pt Newark Consul-General: Francisco Carlos Duarte Azevedo The Legal Center At one Riverfront Plaza, Main Floor Newark, New Jersey 07102-5414 United States of America Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 am to 1pm; Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm Telephone: 1 973 643 4200 Fax: 1 973 643 39 00 E-mail: mail@cnnew.dgaccp.pt Edit: @Surbhi: Based on your answer I can tell you that you may apply up to three months before you plan to travel [common Schengen procedure]. Representatives of Portugal which issue visa are located at Washington D.C., Boston, Newark, New Bedford, New York, San Francisco, and Providence.

It is difficult to find work there. Japan, like most countries does not allow foreigners (Gi genes) to work in their country unless the job is needed and a Japanese isn't trained or qualified in that task and they have determined for some other reason it is good for the country to have you. They keep their unemployment very low and try to make sure everyone possible has a job. They are not mean, they are just overcrowded and need to protect their peoples jobs. Japan is a very small country with a large population.

Hi, Any Portuguese Citizens, or people currently living in Portugal
Hi, Any Portuguese Citizens, or people currently living in Portugal?
I am a Canadian Citizen, I'm 18 years old, and thinking about moving to Portugal. The main reason is to play football, learn Portuguese and discover the wonderful culture, as well as explore other parts of Europe. My question is how can I get a visa to work and live there? What do I need to do, and how long would you need to stay to become a citizen? Thanks for any help you can give me!

I don't think you can, because you'll need an address in Portugal, and I'm not sure how it works for foreigners, as we have an Identity Card, which is used for every official request. These things in Portugal aren't as simple as they are in the UK. But just to be on the safe side, I would visit 'Loja do Cidadão' and I would ask them. http://www.portaldocidadao.pt/portal/pt/lojacidadao/ Or go directly to the department responsible for it (similar to Inland Revenue). http://www.e-financas.gov.pt/de/jsp-dgci/main.jsp When I got my fiscal number I paid nothing, I just filled in a form. The name of the card you are looking for is 'Cartão de Contribuinte.'

are whippets good around horses
are whippets good around horses?
I have a male whippet, and am going to work in Portugal for the summer in a Holiday riding centre and am bringing my 10 month old whippet with me, he's been around horses before, not that much though and jst wondering if anyone has any experience on what life is like in a yard for a whippet, and what trouble they can get themselves into

Depends on the horses, really. If they're good with dogs, then that's fine, but make sure your dog knows not to bother them too much or he might get kicked (which leads to broken ribs or a bruised lung, which is fatal for Whippets).
2 :
I believe it would be a much better idea to leave your dog with someone else while you are away. Whippets are sight hounds, they should never be fully trusted off leash. Small animals and quick movements kick their instincts into predator mode and they will not be easily detterred from the chase. I would not be comfortable having a Whippet around horses as, if they do get on the chase they are not going to be mindful about the dangers of the horses around them. How do you think it would go over to have your dog take off across the yard, zooming under and around the horses... recipe for disaster for your dog, the horses and other riders. If there are decent kennel facilities on the grounds for your dog to stay, that might be okay - I would still be worried about the process of moving a young dog into and out of another country.

its LEARNED I grew up on a dairy farm and yes had whippets! used an older gentle cow as a training dummy with each new pup - pup walked under cow & got what-for from me til they learn not to walk under cows.after learning that then need to watch out not to be stepped on, learning cows were not quarry to chase was easy,faster moving horses could be more a problem but my sister in law also had a whippet - and horses and the whippet would chase rabbits in the horse pasture.

Olá, nunca é tarde demais para seguires os teus sonhos! Se gostavas mesmo de ser professora e é assim que vês o teu futuro então tira o curso! Agora depende é de quenÃvel escolar é que queres: Para professora primária ou educadora de infância vais para o curso de Educação Básica. Para professora do básico ou secundário vais para a disciplina que queres leccionar, por exemplo portuguÊs ou inglês etc. Segue o teu sonho ! Não sejas "burra" como eu , e deixes qu te impeçam de viver a tua vida e decidir o teu futuro.

Mau tempo para se ser professor... a não ser que se esteja fora dos acontecimentos do mundo. É um sonho como outro e à partida deve ser seguido. Ser-se professora de catequese, não sei se ajuda muito. Se calhar não. Mas seja... O mais importante é que não há lugares para professores. Se houvesse falta de professores não se daria o caso dos previstos 8000 despedimentos no próximo ano lectivo, em função do fim das disciplinas de Estudo Acompanhado e de Ãrea de Projecto, nem a ADSE passava quase só servir para descontar, nem os salários desciam, nem as carreiras ficavam congeladas. No privado, é para andar a toque de caixa, à s ordens de megeras e imbecis e nem sequer para ganhar mais; à partida, para ganhar ainda menos, isso sim. Ah! E actualmente, o professor é um bocado "escravo grego" das famÃlias iletradas, com ou sem dinheiro, já que dinheiro não é sinónimo de cultura ou educação. Em todo o caso, os primeiros anos, inexperientes, podem ser para se sofrer um bocado (dependendo de alguma sorte), tipo treino intensivo dos comandos. Mais honestidade, não encontras. Mas se se trata de um sonho... Sei lá... Boa sorte!

Olá, nunca é tarde demais para seguires os teus sonhos! Se gostavas mesmo de ser professora e é assim que vês o teu futuro então tira o curso! Agora depende é de quenÃvel escolar é que queres: Para professora primária ou educadora de infância vais para o curso de Educação Básica. Para professora do básico ou secundário vais para a disciplina que queres leccionar, por exemplo portuguÊs ou inglês etc. Segue o teu sonho ! Não sejas "burra" como eu , e deixes qu te impeçam de viver a tua vida e decidir o teu futuro. Digo-te que apesar de eu ter apenas 17 anos houve muitas coisas que os meus pais nunca me deixaram fazer e agora arrependo-me profundamente de não as ter feito!

Mau tempo para se ser professor... a não ser que se esteja fora dos acontecimentos do mundo. É um sonho como outro e à partida deve ser seguido. Ser-se professora de catequese, não sei se ajuda muito. Se calhar não. Mas seja... O mais importante é que não há lugares para professores. Se houvesse falta de professores não se daria o caso dos previstos 8000 despedimentos no próximo ano lectivo, em função do fim das disciplinas de Estudo Acompanhado e de Ãrea de Projecto, nem a ADSE passava quase só servir para descontar, nem os salários desciam, nem as carreiras ficavam congeladas. No privado, é para andar a toque de caixa, à s ordens de megeras e imbecis e nem sequer para ganhar mais; à partida, para ganhar ainda menos, isso sim. Ah! E actualmente, o professor é um bocado "escravo grego" das famÃlias iletradas, com ou sem dinheiro, já que dinheiro não é sinónimo de cultura ou educação. Em todo o caso, os primeiros anos, inexperientes, podem ser para se sofrer um bocado (dependendo de alguma sorte), tipo treino intensivo dos comandos. Mais honestidade, não encontras. Mas se se trata de um sonho... Sei lá... Boa sorte!

Let's say that a US citizen marries a Portuguese citizen
Let's say that a US citizen marries a Portuguese citizen...?
...I understand, according to the article below, that the US citizen in my example can work in Portugal without requiring a work permit: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/317505/work_permits_in_portugal_an_introduction.html?cat=17 Now suppose that, shortly after marriage, the couple wants to relocate to Spain, what would the US citizen need to legally live and work long-term in Spain? Thank you.

A person married to a Portuguese citizen for at least three years may be able to acquire Portuguese citizenship by declaration. No formal residence period in Portugal is laid down; however, in practice, knowledge of the Portuguese language and integration into Portuguese society may be required. No you have to wait till you got Portuguese citizenship before you could live and work in Spain. You wife doesn't need a visa to work or live in Spain but you do since your not an EU citizen. You would need an offer of a job before you could work in Spain. He/She would have to prove that they couldn't get anyone from the 27 EU other countries to do the job before they employ you. It would have to be advertise in all 27 EU countries.

Hi, Any Portuguese Citizens, or people currently living in Portugal
Hi, Any Portuguese Citizens, or people currently living in Portugal?
I am a Canadian Citizen, I'm 18 years old, and thinking about moving to Portugal. The main reason is to play football, learn Portuguese and discover the wonderful culture, as well as explore other parts of Europe. My question is how can I get a visa to work and live there? What do I need to do, and how long would you need to stay to become a citizen? Thanks for any help you can give me!

I don't think you can, because you'll need an address in Portugal, and I'm not sure how it works for foreigners, as we have an Identity Card, which is used for every official request. These things in Portugal aren't as simple as they are in the UK. But just to be on the safe side, I would visit 'Loja do Cidadão' and I would ask them. http://www.portaldocidadao.pt/portal/pt/lojacidadao/ Or go directly to the department responsible for it (similar to Inland Revenue). http://www.e-financas.gov.pt/de/jsp-dgci/main.jsp When I got my fiscal number I paid nothing, I just filled in a form. The name of the card you are looking for is 'Cartão de Contribuinte.'

are whippets good around horses?
I have a male whippet, and am going to work in Portugal for the summer in a Holiday riding centre and am bringing my 10 month old whippet with me, he's been around horses before, not that much though and jst wondering if anyone has any experience on what life is like in a yard for a whippet, and what trouble they can get themselves into

Depends on the horses, really. If they're good with dogs, then that's fine, but make sure your dog knows not to bother them too much or he might get kicked (which leads to broken ribs or a bruised lung, which is fatal for Whippets).
2 :
I believe it would be a much better idea to leave your dog with someone else while you are away. Whippets are sight hounds, they should never be fully trusted off leash. Small animals and quick movements kick their instincts into predator mode and they will not be easily detterred from the chase. I would not be comfortable having a Whippet around horses as, if they do get on the chase they are not going to be mindful about the dangers of the horses around them. How do you think it would go over to have your dog take off across the yard, zooming under and around the horses... recipe for disaster for your dog, the horses and other riders. If there are decent kennel facilities on the grounds for your dog to stay, that might be okay - I would still be worried about the process of moving a young dog into and out of another country.

its LEARNED I grew up on a dairy farm and yes had whippets! used an older gentle cow as a training dummy with each new pup - pup walked under cow & got what-for from me til they learn not to walk under cows.after learning that then need to watch out not to be stepped on, learning cows were not quarry to chase was easy,faster moving horses could be more a problem but my sister in law also had a whippet - and horses and the whippet would chase rabbits in the horse pasture.

But i would love to be a teacher what can I do? Is it to late? I am 21. Thanks!

Olá, nunca é tarde demais para seguires os teus sonhos! Se gostavas mesmo de ser professora e é assim que vês o teu futuro então tira o curso! Agora depende é de quenÃvel escolar é que queres: Para professora primária ou educadora de infância vais para o curso de Educação Básica. Para professora do básico ou secundário vais para a disciplina que queres leccionar, por exemplo portuguÊs ou inglês etc. Segue o teu sonho ! Não sejas "burra" como eu , e deixes qu te impeçam de viver a tua vida e decidir o teu futuro.

A person married to a Portuguese citizen for at least three years may be able to acquire Portuguese citizenship by declaration. No formal residence period in Portugal is laid down; however, in practice, knowledge of the Portuguese language and integration into Portuguese society may be required. No you have to wait till you got Portuguese citizenship before you could live and work in Spain. You wife doesn't need a visa to work or live in Spain but you do since your not an EU citizen. You would need an offer of a job before you could work in Spain. He/She would have to prove that they couldn't get anyone from the 27 EU other countries to do the job before they employ you. It would have to be advertise in all 27 EU countries.

Hi there, your question is kind of difficult to answer. I can not think of too many countries of the top of my head that offer good universities, good job opportunities, and inexpensive cost of living. You mentioned the U.S. Yes, there are a lot of good universities in the U.S., however, the cost of living is not inexpensive, and the job market (at least at this time is not good). Also, in the U.S. you usually have no job security whatsoever. Although, the U.S. has some of the best hospitals and doctors in the world, the U.S. healthcare system is one of the worst in the western world. I would recommend to check out the following countries (good universities, inexpensive cost of living, good health care system). Argentina Chile Ecuador (Ecuador is the cheapest of these 3 countries) Job opportunities are better in Argentina and Chile than in Ecuador. Good luck.

I have done my homework this time, and am considering buying or renting a phone for this upcoming summer. Hope this helps!

Answers is that the process is realatively painless, and if you are pressed for ID, a Passport will certainly be sufficient. Unless you are desperate to save those final few cents, incidentally <and that wouldn`t amount to much anyway>, I`d recommend that you look out for a turquoise-blue fronted phone shop under the house/brand name TNM (pronounced Tea-eN-Yem); part of PT, Portuguese Telecom. These outlets -they`re everywhere on the streets, but if you ARE unable or blind, go into practically ANYshopping centre and there`ll be one- are usually manned by students or quite smart youths, who regularly speak English; and who will not only sell and initialise your `phone, if you tell them you anticipated call regimen, they`ll also know the best tariff. They`re also where you top-up. Just one note of caution, if you buy -particularly an `unlocked` handset- and plan to use OUTSIDE of Portugal, make sure you mention this; tariffs and permissions aside, some sets are not equipped to operate `abroad`. Mobile are much more popular in Portugal than land lines, incidentally; and from memory in-country calls or SMSs can be as little as 2 or 3 cents a minute (more if both phones don`t belong to the same service provider: Vodaphone and Orange are alternative suppliers), with International calls from about 25 cents p.m. To reiterate CHOICE OF TARIFF (from many available) IS IMPORTANT.

How does currency conversion work with direct deposit
How does currency conversion work with direct deposit?
I am an American living in Portugal and working for the last few months and would like to have my Euros converted into USD when I leave here in a few weeks. If I have my money directly deposited into my American bank account will my bank charge a conversion fee or will the exact amount deposited into my account show up? I'm with US Bank but if there is anyone who HAS done this or KNOWS someone who HAS I would like to hear how they did it. Or if you have another good way of converting Euros to USD I would like to hear that too. I'm just trying to avoid high cost conversion fees by all means. Thanks...

In the money market the exchange rate of currency is constantly changing due to the market forces of supply and demand. If you deposit Euros into your account at say mid day, the bank would convert the Euros to USD at the exchange rate applicable at that time. The actual amount of USD that will go into your account will be that amount of USD less the percentage charged by the bank for its service exhanging the currency. It pays to shop around. You may find that a Money Exchanger may give you more USD for your Euros and then when you deposit these into your account at the bank there is no further charge. If you are earning a salary, why not ask your employer to pay you in USD and deposit this directly into your bank account each month. That way the agreed amount of USD salary should appear in your account without any deductions.
I am an American living in Portugal and working for the last few months and would like to have my Euros converted into USD when I leave here in a few weeks. If I have my money directly deposited into my American bank account will my bank charge a conversion fee or will the exact amount deposited into my account show up? I'm with US Bank but if there is anyone who HAS done this or KNOWS someone who HAS I would like to hear how they did it. Or if you have another good way of converting Euros to USD I would like to hear that too. I'm just trying to avoid high cost conversion fees by all means. Thanks...

In the money market the exchange rate of currency is constantly changing due to the market forces of supply and demand. If you deposit Euros into your account at say mid day, the bank would convert the Euros to USD at the exchange rate applicable at that time. The actual amount of USD that will go into your account will be that amount of USD less the percentage charged by the bank for its service exhanging the currency. It pays to shop around. You may find that a Money Exchanger may give you more USD for your Euros and then when you deposit these into your account at the bank there is no further charge. If you are earning a salary, why not ask your employer to pay you in USD and deposit this directly into your bank account each month. That way the agreed amount of USD salary should appear in your account without any deductions.

Stores to buy detox drinks in Amsterdam?
Does anyone know of any? I made the stupid mistake of trying weed for the first time a few days ago. I regret it. I'm an American working in Portugal. I'm worried about urine testing at my job. Does anyone know of any stores where I can purchase a detox drink before I leave Amsterdam? Thanks.
