Your spouse just came out as gay . Now what do you do?
Multiple books are devoted to how others have solved their questions. (see insert below) Counselors address authentic living and self-acceptance. Fundamentalists insist that there ARE "no homosexuals, only heterosexuals - with issues." (my own punctuation for emphasis). Bloggers share their viewpoints and offer free advice. Needless to say, I cannot answer for anyone else besides myself, but I've tried to share my heartfelt emotions (on MY blog) as I've adjusted to the fact that I loved and married a gay man. So far, I don't have a book to sell. I only have my life and my opinions, and even those are subject to change.
When I'm asked that desperate question of "...what should I DO?" - I wonder how my answer will affect people. I've discovered that others will come to different conclusions than me. I've talked to couples who recognize that one partner is gay and they want to work things out and stay together monogamously. Others decide to open their marriage - and yes, some can do that and deal with the emotions that come with new definitions of marriage. Still others divorce, whether it's with contempt of with ongoing friendship. The choices are all new when a couple examines the value of staying together versus separating.
One thing that I believe is that once there is loss of trust in the relationship, re-establishing that trust is going to take time and effort. It may be that being gay was hidden from an unknowing spouse. It can extend to horrible unfaithfulness (and the lies that go with it) that break down the framework of married life. No matter where it is lost, trusting one another again is critical to go forward. And whether it's trusting a partner enough to honestly "come out" or proving trust is there enough to raise young children together - whatever the situation - deciding what to do is going to take all the "good emotions" that you might not know you had: love, patience, trust, acceptance, honesty, generosity. And that's just the short list, and it goes for both partners.
So far, I've been one of the lucky ones. I've come through divorce with my own home, grown kids, and the ability to choose whether to go back to work. Some women have young kids, or never have the chance to have kids. Some wives lose their home, and others have to find ways to support themselves from the ground up. Sure, there is a lot that I miss. On the other hand, I don't have to cook or clean after anyone but myself. I come and go as I please, and I never argue with myself over money! (keep it positive!) Yes, I've lost a lot, but I've discovered a lot of self-confidence. My shaken faith is re-building. I've learned to accept others without judging (on-going effort), and I have some true friends that I can't do without. Through this all, I still have my best friend.
So, really, What to DO when one spouse is gay, remains something only you can answer. My advice? Be honest. Live with authenticity. Decide how you want to live, and what is most important. Finally, let the good emotions prevail.

You were lucky. Ray didn't betray you like my ex did me. He cheated on me for 4 years before I found out he was gay, and once I confronted him, he continued. He was so careless he contracted HIV right before our divorce hearing. And it's all my fault, naturally. He has yet to accept any responsiblity for his promiscuous behavior and grumbles about my alimony and the marital assets he's had to split. He and his boyfriend (who's 10 years younger and blonde -- some things are the same if you're hetero or gay) live together now and are going to a resort for Valentine's Day. I let him keep the house because I couldn't afford it since I'd never worked in 35 years of marriage. So I'll be at home on Valentine's Day, watching Harry's Law on TV and wondering if I'll EVER be able to trust another man again.
God bless you for all you do to send out the true message about gay and lesbian individuals. My ex is so afraid his fundamental relatives are going to find out about him that he made me sign a gag order before he'd agree to the settlement. I figure the truth will come out eventually. Right now he's just hurting himself and sadly, our children. Our sons are so confused and angry and I resent that he's placed part of the blame on my shoulders where I can't refute it without fear of being held in contempt of court.
I pray for him every day -- pray that he'll accept himself as he really is, pray that he'll realize what a dangerous lifestyle he's chosen to live, pray that he will be honest with his sons. I'd like to get an apology from him for all the awful things he did and said to me. But I'm not holding my breath.
You're right -- there's not one answer, but given the vast number of men living on the downlow and the wives they're hurting, I hope SOME answer works for them.

Maggie - Yours is the kind of "horrible unfaithfulness (and the lies that go with it)" - the ultimate breach of trust that I mentioned. So wrong to be treated that way.
I'm glad that on this comment forum you can at least release your anger and broadcast how caught you are by that gag order. (I'm not sure how that can even be legal.)
It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY to start new things, a new job, and make new friends. I still have troubles, but I have new things to think about other than what I DON'T have any more. It really helps. If you can, think about volunteer work - I know hospital auxiliaries can always use help. Find something you are interested in, and pursue it. This really can be made into an opportunity, rather than only a stumbling block.
I wish you the best, Maggie. Hang in there. Life CAN get better.

You did a wonderful job of elucidating what you lost when yours and Ray's lives moved in a different direction. Somehow, you were able to convey your pain and loneliness in general terms, which allows others like me to to understand how you feel, but your generalities also allow us to discern our own emotions. Bravo! That's a difficult balance to strike.
Right now, I can identify with your loneliness, and perhaps some of your frustration, when on your worst days you look around and go, "Is this really my life?"
I never thought I'd be an unemployed pastor for this long. I knew it would be hard for the church to accept a disabled, single, woman as a leader, but I also believe that God is bigger than all of that. I guess I'm just waiting for the church to figure that out. One more area where the church needs to broaden its horizons...

I've started participating in an online chat group of straight wives. I've even met with two of them in person and it was amazing to talk face to face with someone who completely understood. I started with this group before the gag order was in place, so I can keep talking there. I may challenge it one day on the grounds that it impedes my psychological recovery but for now, I just figure folks can pretty much figure out for themselves what's going on.
I also do some church work and help out with some elderly neighbors. I've been looking for a job but haven't had any luck yet. If I wanted to flip burgers or work at Walmart I could probably get employment, but I do not want to do that. Something will come along though.

Carol, I have seen little on your blog or on the Internet about bisexuality.
I am a male bisexual whose primary orientation is slanted more toward femals, which makes life simpler.
I chose to stay married and concentrate on my hetero side, while trying to stand up for gay rights as well.
I admire your grace and poise under pressure, and applaud you for your work with SoulForce, this blog, and any other avenues you choose. I still enjoy Ray's music, both the previous and the recent.
Please continue your good work. I enjoy your posts, your thoughts and only have one minor complaint: I wish you would post a little more often.
Mike (A nickname several people call me.)

Hi there~ I'm sharing this one on facebook. I hope that it makes its way to someone (no one in particular) out there who will just feel better knowing they aren't the only one to go through this.
Thanks again for sharing your story with the rest of us. I'm sure it comes at a price, but you are reaching ppl with a message that needs to be shared.

Carol, I continue to be amazed by your grace-under-duress. I know it's been a while... but I also know that I was 15 years divorced before I came out, and the anger I received from my former spouse was as if we were still married. I am so glad you are willing to speak and share.
Perhaps an answer to "NOW what do I do?" is simply, "I can't tell you what to do. I can tell you what *I* was able to do, and how it worked out. But that may not be the same answer for others." Clearly, Maggie's experience and yours would require two entirely different responses.
Perhaps the only good answer to "What can I do?" is to simply rearrange the words to "Do what I can." Can I forgive him or her, yet? No? Then give it up to God and go on to the next thing that needs attention.
Maggie's situation makes me want to cry - the words "selfish, self centered, and self-seeking" leapt to mind. Her ex has the blond boy, but is living in fear of who might find out - and that fear helps create all kinds of destructive behaviors.
I'm sure, in some ways, you're "done like dinner" with these topics. Just don't delete this blog - I'm sure people will be referring to it for years to come.

I have been with my husband for 25 years....almost half of my entire life and we have two sons 17 and 21. I recently quit my job, cleaned out our old all by myself came to my "new life" "my new home" to be told that he had met someone while I was away and they are in love. Please help me because it hurts so bad I feel like my heart was yanked right out of my chest. All of this has happened within the last 3 weeks. We live in OUR new home but everynight he leaves me to go to him! I don't what to do.....I hate feeling so sick inside and the only thing that has kept me semi-together is I know he will always love me and tells me that every minute of the day. I feel as if I am throwing myself at him and looking like a fool as he takes advantage that to keep him close I am willing to let him be with the other man. The problem is when he does leave, I fall to pieces and make myself ill with the what if's. This can't be healthy at all. We still share the bed and still are intimate which makes me believe he is pretty damn selfish, self centered and outright mean to me. As much as I love loving him it makes it hurt even more! Again.....Can someone please give me an idea whether I should just bolt the door or live this life. I love him with all my heart and would die for him but he doesn't realize that it is him killing me.
Yesterday, on my 49th birthday, I began the paperwork for a divorce while he was at dinner and a movie with his lover. What will happen next....?

What will happen next....?
Well, it's different for everyone, but...if you are anything like I was, you will yo-yo a lot for a few months. I veered between desperation and dark-purple rage for a while--especially when my ex did the same thing yours is doing (going out with his lover while I was home alone).
My ex DID love me, and still does--but that did not keep him from hurting me badly. What I see now, with the distance of time, is that he was hurting too--hurting at having to hide who he was and having to deny what was/is an integral part of himself.
What he really wanted was for the three of us to take a house by the sea. I drew the line there and knew it was time to make the break.
You may decide differently, but I would STRONGLY encourage you to find a good therapist and a support group (in-person or online). Those were not available to me when I was going through my "dark night of the soul," but they have been lifesavers for many people I know.
I would also encourage you to insist on your husband using condoms if you are still intimate, and for both of you to get tested for HIV. I continued to have unprotected sex with my ex for months after I found out about his affairs because I was so depressed. Later, that caused me no end of worry. (Both my ex and I are HIV-negative, but neither of us knew that then...)
Like Carol, I have been able to build a new relationship with my ex. I'm sorry that you are in such pain now, and there is really no way out of that except through it. But from where I sit, on the other side of the pain, I can tell you that there *can be* light and healing at the end of the tunnel. I will pray for you that you come to find that...
Peace and blessings,

Oh, Anonymous, my heart aches for you. I can't even imagine the betrayal.
But yes, I'm going to refer back to what Steve said, "Do what you can." I also might add that some people are toxic, and will always be toxic. It sounds to me like your ex has become toxic to you (big surprise!), and if that is the case, you need to GET OUT (of at least the house, for now). The marriage can be decided later.
But you need to think of yourself right now and what you can handle. You may think, "Well, what about his feelings?" I'm sorry, but he lost the right to any consideration from you when he wasn't straightforward with you. Yes, I understand he had to leave, but he should have left before he cheated on you.

My husband of 5 years came out of the closet to me in September of last year.. rage boiled in me at being betrayed and cheated.. compassion rose knowing how he had been fighting his self in trying to keep up appearances..
And desperation crawled in knowing that my 2 year old is going to be product of a broken home...this rose above all else and we decided to have another go at life together.. I recently found out that he watches gay porn on websites and even after confrontation has not stopped.. he said he will give it a try.. I don't know what to do...whenever I think of my child I am racked with guilt about her growing up like this..when I think about my husband,i am guilty of holding him onto something that will not make him happy..I come from a very conservative Asian family and cannot discuss this matter with anyone...

I came across this site when I was desperate to find answers for my daughter, she found out her husband was gay 4 years ago, they have an 8 year old boy and she is still with him, he brings his " friends" home for dinners and bbq's . She is so desperately unhappy but dosnt have the strength to do anything, she still loves him but hates him at the same time, he has always put her down even before this happened, her self astern is so low it's breaking my heart to see her like this, she has no friends of her own they are all his friends, she is becoming a recluse, she thinks her only option is to leave a go overseas so it's not possible to have contact even if she wanted to. I can't bear the thought of her leaving the country with my grandson but feel so selfish stopping her, how can I help her

I found out two days ago that my husband is gay and he has been meeting men off of craigs list. We just moved to California and purchased our first home. I don't work and am in a state where I have no friends or family.
How do I tell him that I know? How can I figure out what I am going to do with all of this?

My husband won't come out of the closet, but his phone and any computer he goes near are full of gay porn. He'll only admit to one gay sexual encounter years and years ago. He's a sad closet case who is ashamed of who he is - but what about me?! We have an 11 month old son. I want my life, but I can only have it if I live a lie. I can never trust him. Never. Sorry, you have no answers for me but no one knows about this - and no one I know would understand if I told them. :'(

Dear Agnes,
Wow, you have a lot to consider, and I'm sure you are a wreck. I can't say enough to you as to what to do, but you certainly should weigh your options before you do anything rash.
While I can't say what is the right thing to do, I'm sure you are about to either explode or implode. Try to think before you decide. I'm not a counselor, and you truly need one. I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

This blog has helped immensely... Have been forced out of the marital home (he owns it) and only see my four year-old one week in two (co-parenting is the law in the country I moved abroad to to be with him...). Luckily I have a job and friends... but I am struggling to find the positive side of things...

Love: Hi, I want to share my story. I am depressed I spend all my day crying or sleeping in bed. I got married after 6 years love story. I loved him from the bottom of my heart. we got married but he didn't touch me or come near me. he was disgusted of me. he treated me badly for 3 months, then he divorced me and went on vacation. I miss him badly and I love him and i don't know what happened...why he hated me out of a sudden, why he didn't touch me or hug me or kiss me, why he treated me that way...I don't know..

I found out for sure 5 months ago and it still hurts everyday. I'm thankful I am 32 and not 62 finding out but it doesn't really matter I think I'm so emotionally messed up I'll never have a life again. 8 years and two little children with the love of my life spent wondering why am I not good enough? Being blamed for everything, constantly trying to be better, wondering why he left me every couple of months without a care in the world while I was devastated. Now since I found out and left him for good he has his and my family believing I'm crazy and Dillusional! My own mother spent believe me, no support at all. They support him! He's been emotionally and physically abusive in the relationship I'm so screwed up he's ruined my life. He's turned my family against me and now is taking me to court to fight over the kids. How does someone do this to a person who has loved them more than anything!!!!!!! ????? I can't find any other women to talk to in person here in San bernardino county California and I'm a wreck taking Care of my two kids, one with special needs. In the court papers he served me its lie after lie after lie! How do they do this ? :( I'm barely hanging on

to this morning's Anonymous: You are not alone!
When I hear the painful stories, it all resonates with how awful it feels to have loved someone so very, very much. Receiving the shock of it, trying to sort it, it all just comes in waves and waves and waves, and I know it feels like you can't stand up.
I'm here to tell you that you CAN get up and face each day, you CAN find a way to keep living. YOU have done nothing wrong to cause him to be gay, nor to cause him to cheat. No matter what your family, or his family, or ANYONE ELSE says, YOU get a pass on this one! It may sound like I'm presenting a formula response, but I mean it! You are going to survive this!
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Be encouraged. Go forward one little step at a time. It will get better even if it seems like it's getting worse. You will come though this a better, stronger, wiser person, and I hope against hope that you will have that love to give again.
I'm sending along big hugs, some tears, and love,

Been to the matinee today with low hopes after seeing these reviews. However the spice girls were my era so I loved hearing a lot of the songs. I can see what some people are on about though it is a bit of a mush mash and a bit confusing. I thought the girl playing Luce had the strongest voice out of all 4 girls. I really wanted to like this show and at times I felt there was potential for it to be brilliant but then it just kind of flopped. The ending needs a bit of work to make it more final. I can't see this lasting long which is a shame for the cast but the story is just too thin

The Body Image Killers
The power of the mind. It's totally incredible the power that lies between our ears. Scientists have studied and researched the awesome power that is in the human mind for centuries, and we've just scratched the surface of the immense power that lies deep inside.
I wrote an article awhile back on how the brain can be used to increase your willpower. The human abilities to do a lot of things would just blow you away, but we live in a very negative environment, and those negatives vibes and thought can be detrimental to your health, both physically and mentally.
To show you an example how powerful this is, I want you to go back into your childhood, back when you were growing up. Think of something that happened to you or maybe was said to you that so much effected you that even today, maybe after years and years, you can still vividly remember it.
As my wife was growing up and going through those very tough adolescent years, she remembers her father telling her, that it looked like she was smuggling water melons inside her thighs. It totally devastated her and she can still remember it as if it was only yesterday.
I think most of us, during those very sensitive adolescent years, when we were all so vulnerable and wide open for those kinds of attacks, were hurt the most. It's during those times, when those negative remarks have scared us and cut us with deep riveting wounds, some that have still never healed completely.
Science has proven that a positive mental way of thinking can aid the human body in healing itself. Our human bodies are very complicated and intricate, but the human minds play an extreme role in not only the healing process, but in athletes excelling in their sports, and for all of us to be innovative and productive in all of the skills that God has gifted us with. Whatever your field of expertise is, engineering, writing, science, business, law enforcement, raising children, all of it can be rewarding and fulfilling with the right positive influences, but beware…because with just one timely accurate negative shot, and the whole thing can come tumbling down…if you let it.
Did you know that just the way you think of your body, your self-image, can determine how healthy you will be? Talk to people who are obese and overweight, and all of them have a very negative view of themselves and the way people perceive them.
Don't let the body image killers, kill you!
I think that I am more sensitive to this than the average person because I was raised in such a negative home. I was so used to the negative comments growing up that I just never thought of myself as an achiever or someone who could do something with my life. I wouldn't even try because I had decided, before I even started, that I would fail. This kind of viewpoint haunted me for most of my life, and even today still trys to come back and tell me that I can't do it.
Negativism and negative people just get under my skin today. I have a real hard time dealing with them, and I know that we all have to at some point here and there, but it's never an easy thing.
For those of you who are religious and read your bible, see how many times throughout the scriptures, God talks about a good positive mental attitude.
"as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7. "Finally, brothers and sisters,whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things." Philippians 4:8.
We live in a world that is negative and loves to swim in the ocean of negativism. News media sells news that's all negative, because that's what people want to hear.
I love sports and I love my Detroit Lions football team. They started out this season by rolling off five straight wins. Everything was rocking an rolling well with them, but all of a sudden they lost two games, and the negative remarks just came out. People were turning on them and were talking and accentuating all the mistakes and negative elements of their game. How quickly all those people were jumping on the negative band wagon. Why? Because that's where most of us live, but you know what…that's a choice you make. You don't have to park yourself there.
I'm going to give you three steps to take to change your course right now.
Surround yourself with positive people
Now I don't mean to go out and divorce your spouse because they said a negative remark toward you, but as best you can, surround yourself with positive people. Your family and friends are your family and friends, don't run from them but influence them with positive vibes, and don't let them influence you.
Read and fill your mind with positive things
Stay away from the newspapers and TV. All they talk about is how many people were killed and robbed last night. I like to keep up with what's happening in the world around me, but learn to filter the information you put into your mind. Remember…junk in…junk out.
Temper negative remarks with a grain of salt
Remember that people who say negative things are swimming in the ocean of negativity, and so they're not going to be too good at seeing the positive in anything, let alone remarking in a positive way. Be the influence of positivity on them, and you will be surprised at what happens. They may like it, and than you've saved them from drowning in the ocean of negativism, or they will hate you and never want to talk to you again, which will be good also.
Get rid of the excuses
You want to lose weight and get on the road to a new healthy you, get rid of the excuses. People can't make you negative and circumstances can't keep you from achieving your goals, only you hold that power, not them.
As Dewey Bozella said, "never let fear determine who you are, and never let where you come from determine where you're going."
Who are you going to listen to, some stupid remark that was said to you 30, 40, or maybe even 50 years ago? Are you going to let that person control your life and destiny? They probably aren't even alive anymore, and you're going to let what a dead person said to you years ago, determine who you are and where you're going?
Determine today who you are, who you really are… deep down inside, and let that person be the one who stands in the forefront of your life. Let that person guide you and shape you. Don't let the negative lies from anyone distract you off your course.
Discover the power that lies in you, and let that person come alive, and than you go out, and help others and be that positive influence that the world so desperately needs today.
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things." Philippians 4:8.

Nursing CEs
RNs will be required to complete 30 hours of CE (Continuing Education) for licensure renewal. New regulations can be found in the PA Bulletin. Frequently asked questions about nursing continuing education are available on the Board of Nursing web site.
The first group that will be required to complete the 30 hours of CE will be RNs whose license expires beginning October 31, 2010. The 30 hours of CE must be obtained between 11/1/2008 - 10/31/2010. Any CE done prior to the renewal period will not count.
All RNs must track their own CE hours. The State Board of Nursing is not expecting hospitals or facilities to keep track of CE hours for each nurse. We recommend that you keep all certificates, transcripts, etc. for up to 5 years. Each certificate should have the following:
- your name
- the course title
- the number of CE hours awarded
- the date(s) of the activity (*date counted is date completed)
- the provider of the activity
- the name of the organization which approved the activity
Upon renewing the RN license, whether on paper or online, the RN will check Yes or No that they have fulfilled their 30 hours of Continuing Education hours. DO NOT submit your CE certificates with your renewal. Within a few months after renewal, a random audit will be performed on a percentage of nurses, determined by the Bureau, to show completion of 30 hours of CE. (Instructions will be given with the audit announcement to send only certificates of hours completed.)
Approved Continuing Education Activities include: (not all inclusive)
- Activities sponsored by accredited hospitals and health care facilities accredited by Joint Commission or Department of Health
- Activities sponsored by national nursing, medical, osteopathic and other health care professional organizations and their state and regional affiliates
- Activities approved by a Board in another jurisdiction (ex., another state)
- Board-approved professional nursing, CRNP, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CNS, or Nurse Midwifery educational programs
- Board may approve other sources of CE on a case-by-case basis (ex., if you publish an article, if you repeat the same approved course twice in 2-year renewal time)
- Taking tests after reading articles that offer CE
- Self Study Packets (pre & post tests)
- ACLS / PALS acceptable
- Basic Arrhythmia and Critical Care Classes acceptable
- Patient Safety, Restraint, Phlebotomy education acceptable
- Academics coursework: (submit transcript if requested)
- 15 CE hours per 3 credit course (2 semester year)
- 12 CE hours (3 semester year)
- 10 CE hours (4 semester year)
- If also meeting CE for National Certification Organization - make sure CE meets both State and National requirements and timeframes (to use same for both)
Unacceptable CE Course Content (includes nonprofessional course content)
- Self improvement (time management, stress management)
- Changes in attitude
- Financial gain (retirement planning)
- Courses designed for lay people
- BLS (Basic Life Support - including Health Care Provider)
- Mandatory annual education on facility specific policies
- Employment orientation programs (Fire Safety, Infection Control, etc)
- Teaching a class
Hospital Product Vendors / Drug Companies / Seminars are approved if related to patient care, nursing in general or specialty area (ex., Nursing administration, Stroke, Trauma, Specialty Education)
If you are setting up a program - determine how many hours and who will sign the certificates. If you participate in the same program that you set up, have a supervisor sign your certificate. If you are a lecturer, adjunct professor or teaching program - that statute does not speak to receiving CE hours for your own RN license.
AMA Credits - nurse can use 1:1 ratio
If you would like to check if a course would be approved - course can be submitted for a charge of $75 per CE hour
1 continuing education hour = 50 minutes of continuing education activity.
.5 CE = 30 minutes of continuing education activity.
If 30 CE hours are not completed by renewal date:
- A 6-month period will be given to complete CE hours, then a fine will be assessed.
- 1 - 10 CEs not completed = $250 fine
- 11 - 20 CEs not completed = $500 fine
- 21 - 30 CEs not completed = $1,000 fine
- A 6-month period will be given to complete CE hours
- If still incomplete after 6 months - case goes to professional compliance office
- It is up to the disciplinary board as to revoking the RN license
- To be added to the distribution list for licenses being revoked - email email@example.com
21.31f waiver of continuing education (Illness, Military, etc) - submit 90 days prior to approval
At this time there is no projection of a law for LPN to get CE.
Records should be kept for 5 years. It is better to have more than 30 hours in case they question certain ones.

Brooklyn >Beauty > Salon De Quartier
206 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1120140.684639 -73.991965
Mon-Fri, noon-9pm; Sat, 10am-6pm; Sun, 11am-7pm
Excellent service from start to finish! – I have been a customer for over 5 years and I finally decided after today's visit it was time to write a review. I stopped in for my flash highlights (red). I loved how Yelena knew the perfect size of chunking I needed and shade to use.
After the color I usually do my own drying (it's an option) when suddenly one of the stylist, Jean Paul had some down time and offered to dry for me. I was surprised that he offered just because he wanted to, not because he HAD to and that is great customer service! While he was drying my hair, I had a FREE manicure by Vera, who is an amazing nail artist.
I almost forgot to mention the amazing coffee. I think I would go again just for another latte!
Granted I was there on a Sunday, and it was before the rush, so keep this in mind if you are hoping to get the full treatment. Speaking for myself, I couldn't be happier. I love the look and already received a compliment on my way home, I only live two blocks away ;-)
Excellent Salon!!!!!! – OMG I like this place so much.
I was in a bad mood and needed a change.
I decided to try this salon...
First of all I had the best cappuccino ever... slurp
The music choice was good too!!
The staff is all nice and smiling and the atmosphere is joyful, they like their job and they make you feel really good.
Then, while waiting for my color to be done I had a free manicure!!! wow!!!
I decided the color with their help and also cut my hair a lot.
I completely changed my look and was sooo happy of the result.
Finally I found my haidresser!!!
They are all professional and nice.
I really recommend this place!!!
Excellent Salon with high qualified Staff! – I am usually very picky when it comes the time when I do have to cut my hair and do my highlights.
But finally I can tell that I found the perfect salon with the right hairstylist of my life.
Salon de Quartier Hirstylist is just amazing, I didn't have to speak too much with the hairstylist Lina but she understood immediately what I really wanted for the color and for the cut.
She became my hairstylist Guru. thanks!
The salon is very cozy, comfortable and all the staff is pretty high qualified, I was looking at other hairstylists while waiting and I was excited by their way of working.
The girl that washed my hair gave me a relaxing head massage …she was great!!!
Excellent!!! – The BEST hair salon in NY. I'm from Barcelona and since I moved to nyc it has been difficult to find a good hairsalon. I'm so happy I finally found it! I'm in love with the hair cut and the color / highlights. Since then a lot of people asked me where I did my hair. Customer service is excellent and the hostess is very friendly :-) My hairstylist, Lina is just AMAZING and she did excatly what i wanted.
This is going to be my Hair Salon from now on.
BEST ATMOSPHERE EVER!!! – This place is amazing!!! First, when i arrived, the host was pretty nice and she offered me a wonderful cappucino... i had my INOA color and my haircut done by jean paul!!! he's fabulous!!! I didn't know INOA color before he introduce it to me... no smell no itching... i never see that!!! and the result is so beautiful!! And i almost forget to tell i had the best head massage ever!!! thank you salon de quartier team!!!
Pass this one up – Don't know how they're staying business. With hairdressers like Vilma they should close their doors.
worst haircut EVER, almost need a wig to hide it! – First thing that should have scared me (and made me ran away before the girl start to cut my hair) is that she showed me a "book/menu" of hair cuts. A good hair stylist should look at you, and figure out what to do!
I have short hair, and it is not easy to do well if you are an amateur!
result is that I hate myself for now a month, I am wearring scarf, hat all day long.
Do not go to that place, NEVER!
Excellant cut, color, service etc. – I can not speak on other locations or stylists but I have been getting my hair done by David at the Dumbo location of Salon De Quartier for about a year now and he is fabulous! i have never had a cut or color that I haven't been 110% happy with - he is amazing! When my past hairstylist become a mother she decided not to come back to the salon - it took me two years to find David. Before finding him I had too many horrible hair-do's to recall. Everytime I show David a picture of the lastest hair crush he delivers!
David is super talented sytlist but also has an awesome personality that makes the experience a sheer pleasure. If you are considering Salon de Quartier see David and you will not be disspaointed.
Depends on your stylist – I really like this salon, the host is really nice, and always gets you coffee etc, but I have been a few times, and each time gotten different people. I got my hair done for my wedding and it was great, but my sisters hair was awful and they had to give her a gift card to make up for it. the girl put hardly any product, and tried to curl her hair, which fell out before we had even left the salon!!!
today i got my hair done by sonji, i think is her name, and she is awful. she knocked me in the head about 3 times with the blowdrier and didn't even notice because she was to pre-occupied with her thoughts. I gave her a photo and told her what I wanted, and she just cut my hair, blew it dry, and with no elements to it. It looked like a poufy mess that i did myself while trying to do my own hair. plus she didn't even put product in my hair at the end, which made it look so frizzy and by the time i got home the style had fallen out. I am so unhappy with this stylist and dont recommend anyone go to her. I now have to go back and try and fix my hair, which is for free, but I paid enough for it the first time! 80$. I don't know if I really want to go back for fear of stylists I don't know.
Great even for the non-stylish – I am far from what you would consider a stylish gal. I randomly and infrequently get a hair cut. But this salon has treated me well over the years, beautifully prepping me for weddings and other special occasions. I've never felt self conscious or treated differently than the regulars. The stylists listen carefully to what I ask for and deliver, unlike other salons I've been to in the slope where the stylists have taken an "I know better than you approach." Only con is that I prefer Evada products, but that is minor.

My interests in research and teaching go hand in hand. In my linguistic side, I am interested in perceptual dialectology and corpus linguistics. What fascinates me in perceptual dialectology is the focus on what people think about others' speech and the investigation into how and why those perceptions are created. Corpus linguistics became my area of interest, because it helps to uncover patterns in language through a systematic, computer analysis of large bodies of text. Using computers this way, we are able to notice patterns otherwise unnoticeable. I have done research on both and want to continue to do so. As a composition teacher, I also grew an interest in multimodal composition, focusing on organization and structure of those papers.. Through putting text, images, videos, music, and design together, we are able to better show ourselves through writing, and that is what I am interested in analyzing now (with more angles to come in the future).

UN Nuclear Watchdog Agency Helps Bring Radiotherapy Technology to Developing Countries
In October, the Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy brought together regional experts, representatives of international organizations and manufacturers of radiotherapy equipment in Vienna for the Fourth Meeting of the Advisory Group on increasing access to Radiotherapy Technology (AGaRT) in low and middle income (LMI) countries. The meeting's 35 participants met to endorse affordable, appropriate and suitable radiotherapy technologies and turn-key solutions for low and middle income Member States, and to discuss the preparation of guidelines for radiotherapy sales and service contracts to guarantee long-term radiotherapy functionality.
This meeting was the fourth in a series meant to address the shortfall of radiotherapy services in LMI countries. Radiotherapy is an essential component of treatment for many forms of cancer, but it is not accessible to many people in the developing world. Listen UN Radio Story

Report: NCAA enforcement staffer to accept position at Maryland
By Zac Ellis
Another NCAA enforcement staffer is reportedly heading out the door. Jeremy Fowler of CBSSports.com is reporting that NCAA enforcement assistant director Marcus Wilson is moving to Maryland, where he will become senior assistant AD of compliance.
#NCAA loses another. Enforcement assistant director Marcus Wilson joining Maryland as senior assistant AD of compliance.—
Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerCBS) April 23, 2013
The NCAA enforcement office has seen its share of defections in recent months. Just last week, veteran enforcement official Dave Didion announced his departure to assume the role of associate athletics director for compliance at Auburn. Meanwhile, investigator Ameen Najjar was fired in 2012 after it was discovered he signed off on payments to Miami booster Nevin Shaprio's attorney during the NCAA's probe into the Hurricanes. Vice president of enforcement Julie Roe Lach was later fired as a result of the investigation. Two other enforcement staffers, investigators Rich Johanningmeier and Abigail Grantstein, have also left the NCAA within the last year.

text: Tim White Excuse me the Phone is Ringing Buckeye Farm Beat You would be surprised at the variety of phone calls that come to the Ohio Farmer office. Published on: February 22, 2011 I get all kinds of phone calls during the course of a day. Sometimes it's the granddaughter of a reader who recalls seeing her grandpa on the cover of the Ohio Farmer in 1957, might have been March or April, but it could have been '58 or '59, and it might have been Farm Journal, but do I happen to have an extra copy of the 1957 March issue and April too? Sometimes it's a P.R. person pushing a story idea. "Would you like to talk with Ron Weedster in person? I think you will find what he has to say about the Weedster very interesting. We have had a lot of folks turning to the Weedste in Indiana. Oh and Ohio too. Tell you what give me your email and I will send you a video link so you can see the Weedster in action. You are gonna be amazed." Sometimes it's an irate reader. "Why should the government be involved in… preserving farmland, producing ethanol, giving aid to Africa, allowing free trade, blocking free trade, free lunches, wind farming, fence building, vulture control…" You name it; readers can get irate about it. So why don't I do something? Yesterday it was a call from Ricardo Castañeda. He represents the northern sector of the National Association of Tortilla Makers in Mexico. His brother-in-law is the association's president. "Do you know of anyone who has some white corn they are looking to sell?" he asked. It did not take a lot of thought to reply, "No." Undeterred Ricardo pressed forward, "We are having a terrible shortage of white corn for tortillas in Mexico and I am in Canada now trying to contact someone who might have white corn to sell." All I could do was offer my opinion that most folks who grew white corn probably did so under contract to sell it to a manufacturer of corn chip products like Frito Lay. I said, I really doubted there was much white corn sitting around Ohio in a bin waiting for a buyer at this point in the season. Ricardo responded that the cold weather that hit the growing region of Mexico this year has ruined plantings of white corn and there is expected to be an even greater shortage of the crop as the year progresses. He steered me to the tortilla makers' website http://www.expotortilla.com.mx/ and noted it was in Spanish, "unfortunately." "As a president of this association my brother-in-law has access to a lot of the big producers in Mexico not just in the northern part of Mexico. What we are trying to do is to find a good partner that can give us the quality, price and competitive advantage that we require to grow more in this competitive market." He noted that he hails from an area with the largest dairy in Latin America http://lala.com.mx/en/ and has been selling No. 2 yellow corn to the dairy. "As part of this association we have been building this net-working and right now we are selling around 5,000 ton per month of white corn that we get from Sinaloa in Mexico. If we have a good partner we can do much more with white corn and yellow corn. If you know someone that is interested in this and even better if they have some white corn available right now I would appreciate if you can have them contact me." So in the interest of international trade and relations here is a phone number for Ricardo Castañeda 519-962-9514. Just in case anyone out there has some white corn to sell or maybe is looking for a contract to grow some this spring. If this works out it could be my biggest phone deal yet. Although I did once have a call from a clothing manufacturer in Taiwan who wanted to be connected with someone in Ohio who raised rabbits for fur. True story. Hold on there's the phone again.

Venture capital firms are staking late stage electric car startups with huge cash to help them scale up and IPO
By Shelley DuBois, reporter
The age of the electric car is upon us, or so the numbers would suggest.
Companies in cleantech, especially those making cars, received over $400 million in funding in the second quarter of 2010, according to an Ernst & Young analysis based off of Dow Jones VentureSource data.
A company called Better Place received the majority of this funding-- $350 million of it—which is 23% of total financing doled out in the sector for the quarter.
Better Place is working on building an infrastructure to fuel electric cars. The infrastructure is based on stations, where drivers can switch out lithium-ion batteries in their cars, much like the way drivers pull into gas stations now.
This late stage burst of funding for Better Place could mean that investors are ready to see it push to close the gap between a startup and a company that can complete an IPO. More

Dr. Harold Olmo
" give me enough time and I'll grow a great grape on the moon!"
Dr. Harold Olmo, a grape breeder and viticulturalist, played a key role in the development of the California wine industry starting in the 1930s. Olmo died on June 30, 2006. He was 96.
As Professor of Viticulture Emeritus at UC Davis, Olmo began his post Prohibition viticultural research at the university's experimental station. His work involved surveying and classifying each and every grape variety grown in California. A renowned plant geneticist, he established a clonal station at Larkmead Vineyards during the 1930s and 40s, developing clones that became the foundation for other great Napa Valley vineyards and for the UC Davis clonal station in Oakville.
Devoting his career to breeding and developing improved grape varieties, Dr. Olmo traveled the world conducting research. He created new seedless table grape varieties and introduced many of the grape cultivars found in California today. Creating experimental vines designed to thrive in hot, difficult and even disease-ridden areas, his contributions to the wine industry have been significant and his herbarium specimen collections at UC Davis (spanning the 1930s-80s) are invaluable.
A Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright scholar, he was awarded the International Vines and Wines medal for 'outstanding contributions to world viticulture' in 1965 and recently, the California State Fair awarded him their Grape and Gourmet Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr. Olmo retired from UC Davis in 1977, but was occasionally found wandering through Larkmead, "which is as beautiful today as it was in the '30s." In February 2007, post-mortem, Dr. Olmo was named an "Icon in the Vintners' Hall of Fame."
The "Indiana Jones" of Horticulture
"When agricultural experts from Afghanistan visited UC Davis last month..."
— San Francisco Chronicle, Monday December 1, 2003

Better understanding of the science behind climate change, and the evidence and information obtained
from evolving understanding of the physical, natural, social and economic aspects of climate change
provide an essential basis for issues under consideration in the UNFCCC process.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has a
well-established role in the Convention process in communicating scientific information through its
regular assessments and wide range of special reports and technical papers. Although it does not
carry out its own research, it plays a key role in assessing published scientific information from
worldwide climate research, and also has an important function in identifying priority needs for
further research activities.

The countries of East Africa are in the early throes of an oil boom, with an unprecedented opportunity for economic development. Unless they avoid the mistakes of those before them, though, the region's governments could easily squander it.
There is no shortage of international recommendations, action plans, and other prescriptions for restoring the oceans' health. The problem is not ignorance but political will. Yet the longer governments and societies delay action, the worse things will get. Here are some things they can start doing now.
East Africa is one of the world's most water-stressed regions. Overexploitation of water resources there has been compounded by declining snowpacks on Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. In this light, the discovery of two significant aquifers in mostly arid Kenya has been hailed as a potential game changer.
As the U.S. boom in shale oil and gas drives down global energy prices, energy-producing states that lack diversified economies will lose out, whereas energy consumers stand to gain. But the biggest benefits will accrue to the United States.
New technologies have given conservationists amazing new powers, and so for the first time they are starting to operate at the pace and scale necessary to keep up with -- and even get ahead of -- global environmental challenges.
A new book by Geoffrey Parker examines how the Little Ice Age of the seventeenth century contributed to an era of war and upheaval. But it offers a blinkered view of the implications for current environmental policy.
Wildlife trade bans are failing because they have run into the same basic problem as the war on drugs. Prohibitions on trading wildlife products such as tusks and timber have ultimately made them more valuable. And criminal organizations have moved in and taken over the market.
For the world's mining industry, the past few years have been turbulent. But those Wild West days might be coming to an end.
Since world demand for oil is set to grow, Riyadh does not see U.S. shale oil production as competition. Nor is it worried about losing its position as the world's supplier as last result. All in all, the U.S. energy boom might be a good thing for Saudi Arabia.
Global power brokers once dismissed Greenland as a white blot on the world map. No longer: Investors from Australia to Canada to China are flocking to the island in the next great contest for mineral riches. Large-scale mining, however, will not be without risks.
