Can I go back to an optician and get a prescription for a different kind of lenses without another exam?
June 21, 2009
Yet another optician question. I got a prescription for reading/computer glasses, but I really need progressives (I think) because I can't see anything closeup without the glasses on. But I don't trust my optician.
I went to an optician at the beginning of the year and got reading/computer glasses that are great. The issue is, however, that I've finally come to terms that I cannot see ANYTHING close up without the glasses. Even cooking, eating dinner, is more pleasurable with the glasses on because I can actually SEE with clarity.
My distance vision is still fine. The exam confirmed that. And we talked about progressives but I didn't know enough to ask the right questions and I realize that I basically don't trust anyone who is covered by my vision plan (they tried to forcefully push this extended exam on me, and swore it was covered by insurance, and then never called me back to confirm - and when I called myself to confirm I got a runaround, and finally cancelled the exam).
So the question is, can I go back to him and get a prescription for progressives without another exam? I do not trust them to tell me the right thing, and since I have to pay for another exam out of pocket, I would try to find a decent/reputable optometrist in NYC who isn't going to try to sell me the farm. If I have to pay for another exam I will definitely go elsewhere, but if he can get a prescription together with the results of my last exam then I'll go back there, simply because money doesn't grow on trees. He told me, specifically, "If these don't work for you, come back and we'll get you something that does," since the glasses I had gotten the previous year were worthless and I'd gone back to using the previous prescription, and I'd told him that. But, again, he might say "I can't do that" and I need to know if that's true or not.

I'm not sure if I understand. You got a prescription for reading/computer glasses and now you find that when you wear the glasses for other close-up work, they make things clearer? If the same glasses are working for all your near-middle vision needs, then just wear them when you need them. Progressives are good when your eyes can't make the adjustment from distance to near vision. For example, i wore glasses since I was young to improve my distance vision. That worked fine, my eyes easily adjusted to see things up close when I had my glasses on. Then, after I turned 40, my eyes became less flexible and my near vision needs help. With progressives, the top part has my distance vision and the lower part is not as strong to help out my near vision.

I think what the poster is looking for is a on all the time pair of glasses that has no correction in the distance area, but does in the close up area.
It would be beneficial to know what your insurance covers before going into a doctors office. They [are supposed to] know their medicine, and aren't responsible for knowing the peculiarities of your insurance.
Vision is very different from person to person, that's why you get the "this one or that one" questions. The doctor said to come back if it's wrong, that implies that you and he had an understanding that it doesn't always work on the first shot.
You might also research your state laws- I believe there are laws about glasses that cover these types of situations. Something like a forced guarantee- they have to fix the glasses if they don't solve the problem you complained about.

Also, isn't there a difference between an optician and an optometrist? Which did you see? I could be wrong, but I think an optician is restricted in what they can do versus an optometrist.

Since your distance vision is okay, you don't need progressives. What you need are
half-frame reading glasses
. These allow you to look over the tops of them for your distance vision and look down and through them for your close up vision. It is like having just the lower half of bi-focal glasses.
You have in your hand the prescription for the close up lens. You just need to go to any eyeglass shop and have them make you half-frames with that prescription instead of full frames.

I'm really confused by what you've written.
If you had a complete eye exam, you should have received a prescription that looks something like
, although it should also include P.D. (pupil distance) if you're getting glasses instead of contacts. If it doesn't include P.D., you can measure it
or any optician ready to make you glasses can measure it. In most parts of that world, that prescription is considered good for 2 years and you can take it anywhere you like to get the glasses you want. You don't need a separate exam or prescription for progressives if you have that complete prescription in your possession.
Another point of confusion: if your current glasses are reading/computer, that suggests they're good for reading print as well as the screen. What kind of close-up vision isn't working for you if reading glasses aren't doing it for you? If you're used to extremely sharp close vision, the sad truth is that while the nearsighted can generally see fine detail very well without correction for a long time, those of you who aren't nearsighted find that your close vision degrades pretty badly and quickly in comparison. You may simply need higher magnification to do things like read the fine print on an aspirin bottle. This should be something a good optician can get from your current complete prescription.
HOWEVER -- if you so strongly distrust your current practitioner to get things right, or if you can't get a free re-examination and/or new glasses, then yeah, you will have to pay to go elsewhere reputable for another exam and glasses.

gjc has a very good point, you need to see an optometrist. Opticians mainly deal with selling and fitting you with glasses, whereas a optometrist is an actual Medical Doctor who will properly diagnose your problems and figure out what corrective lens curvature (or whatever) you actually need. You then take that prescription and go to an optician (or really, you can get cheaper frames online), who then gets you what product you need.
I made this mistake and went undiagnosed with keratoconus for a few years until I saw a proper doctor. Last time I went, they have all sorts of fancy automated gadgetry that will figure out exactly what you need, along with the 'whats better, 1? *click* or 2? *click*' type stuff, with checks for glaucoma and retinal tearing and such. That should all be part of a common eye exam, and every vision plan I've had (VSP, EyeMed) has that pretty well covered, if not fully covered. If someone is giving you the runaround about what is and is not covered, go elsewhere! Run blindly to the hills!

There are three levels of specialists that deal with eyes (at least in the US). From
1. Ophthalmologist – A medical doctor (MD) who specializes in surgical eye care. In the US, this often requires four years of college, four years of medical school, and four to six more years of residency, internship, and/or fellowship and sub specialty training
2. Optometrist – Diagnoses common eye diseases and disorders as well as refractive vision correction. [Note: this is your first line for experienced eye care - they are qualified to identify and diagnose problems and will refer you to an opthalmologist for treatment if needed]
In the USA, the standard education is four years of college and four years of optometry school at an accredited Doctor of Optometry (OD) program [Note that they are not a fully trained medical doctor, in the same way a psychologist has a doctorate in psychology but a psychiatrist is an MD with additional specialization]
3. Optician – Specializes in the fitting and fabrication of ophthalmic lenses, spectacles, contact lenses, low vision aids and ocular prosthetics. They may also be referred to as an "optical dispenser", "dispensing optician", "ophthalmic dispenser". The prescription for the corrective lenses must be supplied by an ophthalmologist, optometrist or in some countries an orthoptist. This is a regulated profession in most jurisdictions.

you don't have to get half-frames.
you can get reading glasses made, which you will have to take off for distance.
or you can get progressives that blend down from NOTHING in the top portion, to READING RX in the bottom portion. so you'd look out the top (essentially just clear plastic with no correction) for distance. for middle "computer" distance, you'll look thru somewhere in the middle of the blend, and for up close stuff you'll look through the bottom most portion of the lens. this type of lens can take a lot of getting used to, and requires you to teach yourself a new way of moving your head and eyes depending on what you're looking at. lots of people hate these and don't give them a chance, and return them. there can be issues with improper measurements and alignment, so you'll have to be patient. but when done right and given some time they can be great.
if you do get progressives, make sure to get a lens thats taller vertically, because it will give more space for the blending of RX's. too short, and you're going to have a very narrow channel for each distance.

Go to see an OpTHAMALogist, they are trained and certified in the ability to diagnose FAR more conditions than an optometrist, the difference is subtle, but they can make a world of difference
http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=22559 has a comparison of duties, usually optometrists work for places like LensCrafters and Pearl Vision and are really only interested in getting you to buy glasses through them, an opthamalogist will not care if you buy your glasses from them or not.
GET YOUR PRESCRIPTION, if they give you a hard time, its against the law to withhold it, and you should then look for someone else to do your eyecare in the future.

It sounds like you have
, which reduces near vision as we get older. Everyone eventually gets it, but it can actually improve vision for those who are myopic.
Anyway, there are several options for you that an Optometrist (you don't need an Ophthalmologist) can help you with.
Bi-Focal glasses. These have the line in the middle. For you, it would be plano (no correction) on top for distance and reading on the bottom. Downside is that everything in your lower vision will be blurry when you are walking around. Takes some time to get used to, but not overly problematic. Also, people look older with the line on their lenses.
No-line Bi-Focal glasses. Same as above, but the division between near and far correction is softened, usually to the point that it is unnoticeable.
Progressive glasses. Similar to bi-focals, although the transition from uncorrected to reading is, well, progressive. The benefit to these is that you have correction for everything in between far and reading somewhere along your lens. The downside is that this "sweet spot" can be maddeningly small. You have to get used to moving your head side to side to read - so you can keep the small reading area on the text. Progressive distort side vision in a way that bi-focals don't. Also have the issue with walking a la bi-focals.
Reading glasses. Similar to what you already have. You put them on when you need to see close up and take them off when you don't. Can be a pain in the ass taking on and off. "Half-moon" lenses, or half-height lenses let you look over the top, but you also will look old or like a librarian taking people to task all the time (sorry to those of you who wear them, but it's true).
Multi-focal contact lenses. There are several versions that are geared specifically toward presbyiops. They basically come in three versions:
1. Progressive. Work the same as progressive glasses. As you look down, your pupil moves towards the outer edge of the lens (the lenses float on the eye and have some degree of movement). As you look up, they float back to far vision. This can happen somewhat slower than what you might desire and take some getting used to.
2. Concentric. This is basically a bulls-eye pattern where the center is far vision and then alternates in expanding rings to near, far, near, etc. The way it works is that your brain actually starts to ignore the information that is incorrect for what you are trying to focus on. These definitely take some getting used to. Doesn't work for everyone.
3. Two lenses. This is where you have one eye corrected for reading and the other eye for distance. In your case you likely don't need one for the other eye. Takes some getting used to, but many people find it a livable compromise. The down side is that you no longer have proper depth of field, so it can make some task more difficult.
Personally, I have progressive lenses (two pair) that work fairly well. If you go with progressives, you should consider the tallest lens you are comfortable wearing. The current fashion of narrow frames does not work well with progressives, as the area to go from one extreme to the other is too short.
I also have Multi-focal progressive contacts that work great. I would wear them every day except using contacts is still, for me, a pain in the ass. You have to give yourself 10 minutes in the morning to be sure you can get both in. Sometimes they go right in, sometimes it takes forever. No predicting.

Abruptly, as if toppled by a taser-like double-leg tackle, Carl Adams and his Boston University wrestling program were pinned, counted out, and relegated to the scrapheap Monday afternoon by athletic administrators. Save for one last hurrah of the 2013-14 season, the program is toast, leaving 25 student-athletes out of luck and Adams at a loss for explanations.
"I had no inkling whatsoever,'' Adams said Friday morning, still trying to reckon how 32 years on the job at BU vanished in an instant. "And quite honestly, I'm still trying to figure out . . . why? Maybe it's just me, but given the kids we have in the program, given the history of the program, given alumni, given what we had to work with, what we were doing on the mat, and as a program . . . I am still trying to figure it out.''

Beach handball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beach handball (sometimes called Sandball) is a team sport where two teams pass and bounce a ball, trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team. The game is similar to team handball, but is not played in a sports hall but on sand instead. Matches are played in two or three sets, depending on when a team wins their second set of the game. If the goalkeeper scores a goal this counts as 2 points, compared to a goal scored by an outfield player which counts as 1 point. The sport is not to be confused with volleyball.

What is dalfampridine (Ampyra)?
Dalfampridine is a potassium channel blocker.
Dalfampridine is used to improve walking in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Dalfampridine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of dalfampridine (Ampyra)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking dalfampridine and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- seizure (convulsions);
- pain or burning when you urinate;
- problems with balance;
- numbness, burning pain, or tingly feeling;
- relapse or worsening of MS symptoms;
Less serious side effects may include:
- headache, dizziness;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- nausea, constipation, upset stomach;
- weakness;
- back pain;
- stuffy nose, sinus pain, sore throat; or
- mild skin itching.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Ampyra (dalfampridine extended-release tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about dalfampridine (Ampyra)?
You should not use dalfampridine if you are allergic to it, or if you have moderate to severe kidney disease, if you have ever had a seizure (convulsions), or if you are also taking another multiple sclerosis drug called Fampridine.

I don't know.
We'd have to see a leadup, more things happen… Inversion's a moral and psychological thing, a thematic thing. Showing it happen at a snap cheapens it; it's a whole lot more than just some flashy powers.
Jane is broken right now, very broken… but she's cheaply broken. Before, in her careful emotional pre-lollipop spiral, she was deeply broken. If she starts showing inversion symptoms at all, it'd only be tacit and shallow until she gets a true emotional justification to start turning her personality inside-out; it has to be deep, in terms of the portrayal of her character.
You're going to have to see some serious reasons again.
(It was always a bit possible that she'd start to invert, sort of like Rose's gradual descent, showing some visible symptoms and manifestations of power, but her true inversion and turn to malice comes with serious triggers like in the link? Ones with serious emotional ramifications, not a cheap timeskip to drug withdrawal.)

Jonathan Sanchez is close to a deal with the #pirates. word is, he's healthy and worked all winter on mechanics. — Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) February 4, 2013 There are two ways to react to what would almost certainly be a minor league deal for Jonathan Sanchez. One is to shrug and say, "Well, I'd rather have Jonathan Sanchez in camp on a minor league deal for a tryout than Brian Bass. If Oliver Perez can become an effective LOOGY four years after ceasing to be a relevant big league pitcher it can happen to anyone." The second is to freak out and draw conclusions about Francisco Liriano's deal and/or health. I think it's safe to sit back and assume that the only way that Jonathan Sanchez ends up in Pittsburgh on Opening Day is if he pitches his way there, Liriano or no Liriano, so let's take a second and discuss the possibilities of that happening. Once upon a time, Sanchez was mentioned practically in the same breath as Matt Cain and Tim L...

Grr…I hadn't seen this boy in a little over week.
I was so glad he came to pick me up for DCI today. :D
Ahh…DCI brought so many memories and emotions. I loved every moment of it, both the performance and being able to spend some one on one time with the boy.
We even got to see the best fran, Churro, and couple of people from CPP, both in the crowd and performing.
Phantom Regiment had a beautiful tone, the Blue Devils had some interesting props, and Vanguard, the Academy, and Pacific Crest were pretty amazing. (:
Well, I don't what else to say other than I miss field shows and I had a wonderful day.
So, I guess I'll leave it at that.
Goodnight <3

Well, I have been a member of Verizon DSL for a few years and I came upon an advertisement about it. The DSL package I have is pretty cheap and is the basic/low package (the 768/128 plan). However, I see that there is another basic plan that is faster than mine (30% more) for the same price I pay (20 dollars).
Here it reads:
Starter Plan:
Download up to 1 Mbps / Upload up to 384 Kbps
I want to know how I could switch to that plan, presumably for free? I have wanted my internet connection to be a bit faster at times, and thought that I should get my speed upgraded for free since I pay the $20 that you would get for the other plan. And if I am able to update it, will it update by itself, with me noticing the change, or will they need for me to download software, new modem, or what? I would love to see my connection a bit faster than it was.
Thank You!

Kabobs! brings food-truck trend to downtown Salisbury
SALISBURY — In cities like Charlotte, food trucks are a part of dining culture.
The vans travel to different spots for lunch, using social media and websites to publicize their routes.
Food trucks offer an array of niche foods and comfort foods. In major cities such as Washington, D.C., food trucks sell everything from fried chicken to falafel.
This past year, Jonathan Rojas — known to many by his nickname, Johnny Reds — wanted to open up a food truck for regular service in Salisbury.
So did Andrew Dionne.
A mutual friend brought them together, and Kabobs! is the result of their partnership.
"In Salisbury," Dionne said, "there's always somewhere to go for Chinese food, Italian food."
Dionne said he and Rojas wanted to offer "something unique, something no one else had."
Last Thursday afternoon, the Kabobs! truck was in its usual spot, in the parking lot on the corner of North Lee and East Kerr streets.
With the smoke of cooking rising from the vent on top, and a few new onlookers every time the light changed, Kabobs! drew a steady number of customers from nearby offices and those who were just driving by.
Rojas said that's how they plan to grow their customer base. "You stop by one day, and you become a regular," he said as he got ready to take the next customer's order.
Sticking to it
Kabobs! is a "gourmet food truck," and the concept is meant to be lighthearted.
The name, and the logo of a fist holding a kabob punching through, are meant to remind people of the "bam! and "kapow!" fight graphics of the Adam West "Batman" TV series, they said.
The colorful van is easy to spot. Inside, Dionne and Rojas wear matching chef's jackets for a uniform.
The menu is simple: a choice of chicken in a Greek marinade, bourbon-marinated beef or citrus-infused shrimp, with a choice of brushed-on glazes.
Each kabob comes with choice of pita bread and Israeli salad, or a seasoned rice medley.
So far, Dionne said, the simple, straightforward menu has been "mind-blowingly successful."
"Right now, me and Johnny are the only employees, we're the owners, we're everything," Dionne said.
"It's gotten to the point where we can't keep up. It's a good problem to have," he said. "We almost sold out of food about three days in a row."
And nights, too. Besides weekday afternoons for lunch on the go, food trucks are also big business on weekend evenings as crowds leave dance clubs and bars.
Dionne said Kabobs! will aim for both sets of clients.
They also plan to live up to the "gourmet" label.
In "about a month," Dionne said, they hope to offer a "chef's menu" of meats that aren't generally available
Among the options being considered are venison, buffalo and even kangaroo meat, Dionne said.
Raising stakes
There's a lot riding on this venture.
For one thing, Dionne said, the two had to find funding.
They had to invest in the truck, obtain the necessary licenses and work out a deal with the Ketner family, owners of the parking lot where Kabobs! operates on weekdays, Dionne said.
Finally, there's the challenge of letting people know where they are.
Dionne's brother, Justin, and other friends from Lee Street Theatre have been supporters, and there's a stack of theatre company brochures by the food truck's cash register.
Both passers-by and word of mouth have sent more customers their way, Andrew said.
Business has been so good, they're considering the need to hire others to help, Dionne said.
At the same time, there's the challenge of growing a new customer base in a town with many restaurant options.
The negative stereotype of food trucks, or "carts," is that the food won't be good, Rojas said, or that the people preparing the food won't be good at their jobs.
"A lot of people are afraid to eat food off a cart," he said.
That's not the case in bigger cities, Rojas said, where food trucks are a common part of the lunch hour.
Some cities actually have parking lot space leased out to food trucks, Rojas said. "I would love to see a food truck lot here in downtown."
Still, Dionne said, it may be some time before Kabobs! starts making the rounds to different locations throughout the week.
That is definitely part of the plan, Dionne and Rojas said.
For now, they'll keep serving from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, in the parking lot at the corner of North Lee and East Kerr, in addition to the late-night hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
Rojas said there's room for more variety in Salisbury and they "would welcome other food trucks."
"You can't expect everyone to come to the same truck every day," Rojas said.
Both said they're pleased with how the partnership has turned out, and glad to support the local economy.
"Every day is a new challenge, but a challenge I'm willing to face head-on," Dionne said. "I couldn't imagine being happier at what I'm doing."

So it seems like this blog is pretty well dead. Sorry about that! It was super fun while it lasted, and I really enjoyed fleshing out the X + Y universe with y'all when it was first released! Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to maintain this blog on top of my others anymore.
You can, however, always find more Pokemon stuff on my main art blog! <3

Cebek R-1 Electronic Module (Pre-Assembled)
This 1.5 Amp DC motor speed controller allow you to adjust the speed of single-phase, universal DC motors with 6V-16Vdc supply. Speed adjustment is controlled using a PWM Triac output and a potentiometer mounted on the board.
Models for 1.5A, 3A and 6A operating loads are available in this range.
All modules are supplied fully assembled and tested with instructions so you only need to make the necessary connections.
PRODUCT SELECTION NOTES: These modules can be used to control other resistive loads like DC lighting but they are NOT suitable for use with inductive loads like neon's, halogen lamps, transformers, etc,.. The motor controller should have an output load capacity at least 25% above the motors peak power requirement. Please do NOT rely on motor rating plates for power consumption figures as they often quote average not peak power. You should verify the actual peak power at start-up and under full load before selecting an appropriate size motor controller.Specifications

children's ministry logo ///
so, over the last week i was tasked with building a new logo / design aesthetic for our children's ministry at crosswinds. the children's pastor and i had a brief discussion about what he'd like to see and how we're planning on remodeling the children's department with more of a "San Francisco" based theme.
first thing i did was find a couple of base images to work with.
next up, i placed all of the photos into illustrator and began the tracing process. started with the trans america building, as it's the easiest to trace; lots of straight lines and hard edges. took about 5 minutes to finish.
the cable car was not nearly as quick a trace. ha. decided to ditch the hard line approach for this one and started out by tracing out the general shape and details. after the outline of the cable car was created, i created a new layer that i used for brushing in the color. once the cable car was colored in, i tweaked with the style for just a bit longer. i used a hard ink pen style stroke (nice thick lines), and bold colors (abnormal for me, but it's for the kids). <- I assume kids like color?
with the cable car styled to my liking, i moved back to the trans america building and adjusted it to match (it had previously looked extremely flat).
finally i moved on to the golden gate. this was the most challenging of the three images trace (even though i'm sure it doesn't look that way). so I'm just gonna say it was 'magic' that made it happen and move on. poof. 'magic'.
after the images were traced, i moved on to laying them out the way i wanted. much trial and error here, and many, many "doh's"! i could not, for the life of me, seem to get the layout just the way i wanted it… so i resolved to create a hill and river thing… as vague as that is, it's exactly what i was thinking. obviously the river is actually the mouth of the bay.
finally i added in the text "crosswinds Children's Ministry" and tweaked with it for about an hour until it was placed to my liking. the final step was to save the illustrator doc… and post it here… so i'm still a little attached to the design.
i'm sure by tomorrow afternoon i'll hate it. and i'm sure i'll need to make some kind of changes to it. but, if not anything else, it's a solid start.

We have two children attending Community Christian School. CCS has be a part of our lives for the past seven years. We know many past students that attended CCS for as long as we have....this alone should speak for CCS's successful qualifications. If you are looking for a place where your children will be challenged academically, grow in the Word of God, and be taught by teachers who bring out the best in their students, then Community Christian School is the place for you.
We could not have asked for better for our son's first school experience! CCS is a wonderful place for children to grow and learn socially, academically and spiritually. The entire staff is friendly and approachable. CCS fosters a sgreat sense of community and belonging within the school. Principal Priest is highly visible and available to all parents. We look forward to many years at this school!!
Both of my children are in their second year at Community Christian School. I am so thankful for the amazing education that they are receiving. The small class sizes enable the teachers to spend lots of one-on-one time with the students and be able to challenge them at an appropriate level. As a former public school teacher who saw many students fall through the cracks I wanted something very different for my children. We are so blessed to have a school that provides that. I feel like we are a part of a family here where the teachers and administration genuinely care about the students and parents.
I can't say enough great things about Community Christian School! My child is receiving an excellent education balanced with God's Word. The entire staff is devoted to the children and their parents as well. The school is very family oriented and a safe, nuturing enviroment for my child. Very Christ-centered...couldn't ask for more!
We love this school, the atmosphere and teachings are wonderful christian settings the children feel loved and safe. My daughter has only been at this school for a year. I'm hoping they decide to advance there school through 12th grade. We would be there the whole time.
My daughter has attended this school for two years and excelled with regards to her studies as well as her development of faith. The leaders of this school, especially the principal, are outstanding in every aspect. This school is a blessing to my family; and we look forward to year three. The personal attention and the faith based environment have been invaluable and very apparent in the development of my child.
Our children have been attending this school for five years. We have been nothing but impressed with the combination of Christian leadership and excellent academics. Using the Abeka program has provided our children with a strong background for mainstreaming into the public school system, and the strong Christian focus has enabled our children to stay on the right path after graduation. The teachers and principal provide loving guidance and discipline for our kids, and we would highly recommend this school for anyone considering education outside the public school system in this area!

A lot of relationships get ruined just because in the misunderstanding. You never know, the communication might have come from a man mate who's just taking part in a joke on your own husband. But if you are truly sensing anything fishy is going on, then get up and be an investigator. You could consult your husband, not surprisingly. Concern: Is he going to tell you the reality? Will he say "Yes, I'm having an affair with one more woman" within your facial area? No, almost certainly not. Resort to other strategies like asking your folks to "stalk" your spouse. You may inquire his buddies, as well, but their loyalty lies on your partner so unless of course a person in his group cares about you and your children, you most likely will not get an genuine remedy.
Exhibit him your adore and assist.
On the list of good reasons your husband cheats is due to the fact he feels discontented with whatever he has. The answer: adore and assist. A man would naturally need to realize lots of elements in his daily life, profession and family members. There are gents who would do anything to go after them, even if they have got to receive involved with a bootleg romantic relationship. When your spouse is type of man, then be his very best good friend. Speak to him about his options and ensure you convey to him how great he is for a partner, as a father and as a supplier. Present him you are contented together with the style of everyday living you have got which all you at any time want is for your personal friends and family to remain with each other irrespective of how hard it is. Using this method, he will know your price in his life.

This suggests you've to boost the way you search, how you gown, the way in which you see him, how you put together his foodstuff, the way in which you pamper him.

In the mid-90's when Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy, then CEO Gil Amileo, chose Steve Jobs' NeXT, Inc., and the NeXTSTEP operating system over former Apple fellow Jean-Louis Gassée's BeOS. Jobs joined Apple's Board of Directors, and with the NeXTSTEP operating system set as the foundation of what would become OS X he went to work on hardware along with regaining his CEO status. Gil Amileo was sent packing within a month of Jobs return, branding himself as Apple's iCEO, and soon thereafter the introduction of the first iMac.Read More >
Some things in life are just inevitable. If you eat one potato chip when the entire bag is available, it is inevitable that you will eat more; if you drink often in bars and pubs and then drive home, it is inevitable you will someday get a DUI.

WWDC 2014 is just around the corner now, so it's time for our annual show predictions. This year we decided to present it based on percentage chance of a particular item being announced at WWDC, in the Fall 2014 or Winter 2015.
Based upon our own internal information, colleges input and rumors here is what we are expecting to be announced and/or launched at WWDC 2014 and beyond.Read More >
Turnarounds are tough. Most businesses in danger of collapse don't survive, and those that do emerge a mere shadow of what they were in their prime. Apple is an exception to the rule.
When Steve Jobs returned as CEO of Apple in the late 90's, he took a meat cleaver to most of Apple. Gone were the monitor and print divisions. The infamous Newton team were given pink slips. Mac OS licensing that gave birth to clones was terminated. Every project and product was jettisoned overboard except those projects that fit into Steve Jobs neat little four quadrant diagram. One pro desktop an laptop, along with one consumer desktop and laptop. That was it. Jobs move was brilliant, which created the foundation for Apple's turnaround.Read More >
Yesterday, Apple released the latest beta version of OS X, 10.9.3 to developers. The newly minted code focuses on graphics and audio driver enhancements, finalizing bug-free support for 4k (UHD) displays.
Really? That's the focus?Read More >
Mac OS X has come a long, long way. When it was first released in 2001, Apple was struggling to make a comeback. The multi-colored iMac platform had been launched, but it was running OS 9 dot something. There were not any iPods, iPads, or iPhones to help Apple's cause.
Now it seems you can't walk into a coffee shop, hotel lobby or airport without seeing someone using a product from Apple. However, more telling of Apple's success is the comeback of the Mac. It has only been since the launch of the iPhone and iPad that Macs are now appearing everywhere — including being used by the Dallas Cowboys.Read More >
Hundreds of millions of Apple users are diving ever deeper into the diminutive fruit company's ecosystem - Apple's rabbit hole if you will.
Starting out on the deep end of the pool, is akin to entering a companies guarded fortress with arms open wide. It's a risky proposition. But for Apple users, heading into the iOS or OS X world is like walking into a securely developed fun park. iOS 7, iCloud, and the forthcoming OS X Mavericks will have users experiencing Apple's seamless solutions more so than ever before. And there is little worry within the minds of these users because they are loving the Apple experience.Read More >
Outlining is the first setup in all writing and researching projects, but that is not the only use for outlines. On the computer, many people use outliner applications to keep track of projects, task management, thought processes, lists, and to keep track of information in a tree format.
There are many programs that allow one to sync text files between all the devices that they own. This is not true for outliner programs, even though keeping track of outlines across multiple devices is just as important. There are many applications that can be used on the Mac and iPad, or the iPad and iPhone, but as of now there is only one that application that has a version for all three devices.Read More >
With WWDC just around the corner, and no doubt new hardware on its way, we thought we might help you get creative with your current (soon to be old) Mac.

Apple, Inc's World-Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) is fast approaching, and while Apple CEO Tim Cook has allued to having no new hardware arriving until this fall, software will be the big focus for Apple's annual developers event. A new version of Apple's mobile iOS and desktop OS X software is going to be shown, but perhaps more important than these fundamental pieces of Apple's ecosystem is iCloud. The future of computing, how we access and manipulate data is rapidly moving to server-side solutions, or "cloud" architecture, and Apple has been falling behind its competition at a rapid rate.
Google and others have taken an aggressive approach in developing a wide array of cloud services and tools, wasting little time in building robust ecosystems. Google, clearly out in front with an impress user base, has built a formidable Microsoft Office competitor in Google Docs. But Google's cloud platform has gone well beyond email or users loading and creating documents stored online. Google's entire cloud platform covers development for data mining, custom cloud storage, Enterprise search and much more.Read More >

ALEXANDER SKARGARD will be getting a steamy shower scene with ANNA PAQUIN in a future episode of "True Blood". It seems vampire Eric Northman is out to stake Bill's territory, and according to one series writer, the scene is going to be "weirder and dirtier" than in the book. Does he mean dirtier that this?
