AllAboutTRH EXCLUSIVE: Jan DeDolce Explains Her Falling Out With Melissa, Exposes The Melissa She Knows!
While season five of Real Housewives of New Jersey filmed, Melissa Gorga was facing accusations that she had cheated on Joe Gorga with her ex boyfriend, Bryan "Bulldog". Bryan surfaced on Twitter during this time and dropped hints about the accusations.
When the show aired, Melissa brought her friend Jan DeDolce on the show because Bravo wanted to film Melissa with her friends, but as it turns out, Jan also became upset with Melissa. A few episodes later, Jan was seen outing Melissa's meeting with Bryan while she was already married to Joe Gorga!
You might be wondering why Jan "turned" on Melissa, but she has her reasons! I got in touch with Jan recently and she agreed to answer all of your burning questions about her history with Melissa, and she is not holding back! After Melissa said Jan is desperate for attention on WWHL recently, Jan is speaking out after turning down money for paid interviews.
Jan was a very good friend of Melissa's up until she got on the show, which is when things began to change. Jan has had enough saying, "I can't watch her lying. She's just such a good liar." Check out AllAboutTRH's chat with Jan, found exclusively here!
AllAboutTRH: How long have you known Melissa?
Jan DeDolce: I would say over 12 years.
How did you guys meet?
We met a long time ago through a mutual friend, this girl Melissa Giordano. Melissa [Giordano]'s parents were divorced, so she would spend time here [Jan lives in Northern Jersey] and she she would spend time down the shore. She would always take Melissa Gorga out with her, so that's how we met. And then I started dating someone from down the shore so we were just able to get together all the time.
You guys were friends and then you were in her wedding to Joe Gorga, so when did things begin to change?
Well, people get married and have kids and go on with their lives so we don't get to see each other every day, but I guess when she got on the show, she just got weird. She is not the same person that I was friends with seven years ago.
Before she was on the show, did she ever speak negatively about Teresa?
Yeah. She didn't like Teresa before the show. She asked me to write an anonymous letter to Bravo so she could get on the show.
Did you do it?
No, but someone else did.
Yeah, that's how she got on the show. She would take me to Dina Manzo's Ladybug conventions at the Brownstone and Melissa would follow the freakin' camera around. Melissa would be seated in the back corner, and then she would always get up and prance around in front of the camera.
So obviously she was bitter that Teresa was on TV and she wasn't.
Yeah. What she asked me to write to Bravo was that Teresa was hiding a younger, prettier girl who had more money than her.
Is Melissa that much better off than Teresa?
I mean, not at all. Her husband owes a lot of people money.
The house that they live in right now, was that built for them to live in or to sell?
What Joe does is he builds homes and sells them. So they were trying to live in this house but they can't because they owe too much for it.
Is this why they are selling it now?
What type of house did they live in before this one? Was it a modest house?
Well, no, when Melissa first met Joe he had a beautiful McMansion in Franklin Lakes that he sold to a football player or somebody. Then, they moved into a house they rented in Lincoln Park until this house was built.
Even when they were moving in, they were talking about when they were going to sell it. That's what they do. It's like, the bank owns it, but they did move in before the show.
What did you think when she finally made it into the show? Did she tell you?
Yeah, it was actually my daughter's birthday party. She came in and she was all like "They cast me! They cast me!" She was all excited, and I was so excited for her. She was like, "Don't tell anybody!" yet, but then she went around to each person and told them all that she was on the show.
Did she promise to feud with Teresa in order to be cast on the show?
Well yeah, of course. They want that. They weren't going to bring anyone who wasn't going to bring any kind of drama to the next season.
So how did Bravo find out about you?
So, it was weird because Melissa and I started having problems. I don't know what her deal was, but she started talking about me to people. Very two-faced. That's when I started getting mad at her.
A picture came on Twitter of her [Melissa] from that girl Penny that only I had. What happened was, I was doing my extensions, and they were saying she had her nose done. And at that time, Melissa hadn't had her nose done and I was like, arguing with them like, "No, her nose is real! Look at this!"
At the time, the guy [her make-up artist] was just contouring it, but now her nose is done. Her nose is completely new, so when she denies it, she's lying about that.
So I was showing them the picture trying to prove that it was the same nose, and the girl Penny must have taken a picture with her camera. I didn't even have a Twitter account at the time. I signed onto Twitter maybe four or five months ago but I don't use it. This picture went up about one or two years ago.
So Melissa calls me out of nowhere asking if I had put up that picture. I said, "What are you talking about?" She started sending it to me and I told her that I had shown people the picture because they were saying she had a nose job and I was showing them that she didn't.
So, we talked. We got set up for lunch, whatever. But of course, it was just to find out information. We didn't talk for a few months because she's so busy with her life and what not. There was something that went on Facebook that had upset me that she put up, and I was just over it.
How did she approach you to film with her and her other friend Maria?
Out of nowhere, she calls me to go meet her for lunch. Again. She wanted to know if I told anybody about the night we were out at Sushi Lounge with Bryan. I said no, but of course there were other people there. And Bryan is friends with Penny!
So she asked me if I would come on and film with her to say that there was no meeting together. I didn't really want to get involved, but she asked me to film because she needed girlfriends to go to lunch with her. Melissa doesn't have a lot of girlfriends. If you look at her wedding party, I'm the only friend at her wedding. It was all family. Her two sisters, her cousin, Teresa, me, I think Kathy might have been there too.
She was like "Please, please, please," so I said alright. Now mind you, I denied a majority of the stuff because I just didn't want to get involved in this. So we go out to lunch and after that, Kim D and Penny start calling me and my partner. At first, they tried telling me that Teresa had a hair product line and she wanted it in my salon.
Kim D has this guy Damien who was friends with my old partner, set up a meeting behind my back with Penny and they wanted to see if we could get me to come on the show. I said I didn't want to get involved, but then they said it would only be about the hair products and Melissa wouldn't be there. Kim D gave me the whole run around.
My partner then begged me and said it'll be good for the business. At the time, I was still mad at Melissa because she had used me to get information about Bryan and to deny all that stuff. So when we get there, they push Malcolm, who is my partner, to the side and they place me next to Penny to make it seem like we came here together.
The night at Bellissimo's [with Teresa, Kim D, and Penny] I was defending her. They were attacking her and ambushing her. And once again, I'm sticking up for her and Bravo switched it up because apparently Penny has a lawsuit with Bravo, so they didn't use her in that scene bashing Melissa. I don't know, maybe they wanted to make it look realistic. I have no idea. The whole thing was just fake.
They just started bashing Melissa. At the table, when they showed me saying all this stuff. It had nothing to do with Melissa. We were talking about an old boyfriend. It was just stuff that had nothing to do with Melissa. They re-arranged the entire conversation which was really messed up.
So then someone behind the cameras asks me to tell them about how Melissa cheated on Bryan, and I said no. I knew we went to dinner together, but I didn't leave with them so I don't know what happened.
So what you know is that you all had drinks with Bryan but you don't know if she cheated. When was this?
This was right before she got pregnant with her third son.
Did Joe know that she was going out and Bryan would be there?
Absolutely not!
He obviously wouldn't have liked that.
He would've killed somebody! She wasn't even allowed to go to my bachelorette party, that's how crazy they are together.
So who's idea was it to hang out with Bryan?
Hers! She set it up. They were talking.
In this week's episode you say she deserves an Academy Award, why do you say that?
Because she's full of sh*t! She's a confused person now. Everything about her is a lie. She's like a "shore girl." She slept around. She did whatever she could to get money, houses… She pretends to be better than everybody.
For example, her relationship book about how to keep a man. She's just trying to make money. First it was her singing, now it's her trying to write a book. The Housewives is going to be short-lived, I mean how long is she going to carry this out for? She doesn't have anything else.
She's just not a real person.
Do you think Bryan will tell his side, since he insists that they hooked up while she was married?
I kind of hope he does because she's saying that I'm desperate for attention. Really? I'm not pushing 40 on stage trying to be a singer. I'm not trying to follow my sister-in-law's footsteps.
She said you're desperate for attention, but she brought you on the show first to defend her about allegations?
Yeah! Every magazine has tried getting in touch with me to pay me for articles, to bash her, sell pictures and what not. And I didn't do it. There was one guy [reporter from the National Enquirer] who showed up to my salon twice, showed up at my house, the next day he left a note in my mailbox, called my salon.
If I wanted attention I would have done that. Bravo wanted me to get involved in other stuff. Kim D wanted me to do other things, and I just said no. I wanted no more part of it.
Do you think you would attend the reunion if asked?
I don't know. I just think it's such a degrading thing and I'm mad that I even got involved. I don't want to bring that back to my family. I don't know. I have a little bit of a temper, and I'm just afraid that I'd get to the point where I'd smack the shit out of her.
What would you describe the real Melissa as?
Melissa's very selfish. She's very cheap. Seriously. She's the kind of person who will go into a store and wants to get everything for free. She's never had style, she never knew how to dress herself. She had to call my sister or somebody, 'Where did you buy this? Where did you get this?'
If she saw Teresa wearing something she had to find out where Teresa bought it. She's just never had a mind of her own. She went and took Teresa's freakin' make-up artist, her hair stylist. It's just crazy.
For her daughter's Holy Communion this year she had people doubting if she actually paid for the big party or Antonia's dress because she was constantly tweeting about the designer and vendors and plugging their business. She even had a paparazzi photo agency take pictures at the reception.
Probably because it was free. She did that because she probably didn't pay for the dress. Trust me. She gave a gift to my daughter once for her birthday and on the tag of the outfit it said it was for Antonia.
How did she really meet Joe?
She went on the show lying at first. 'Oh, I was a secretary, that's how we met.' No, he met you at Lookers. What do you mean? You were working at a strip club. No, she wasn't a stripper. But she would only date guys with money. [If] you didn't have money, she wasn't dating you.
So she met Joe Gorga at Lookers?
They met in Cancun years ago, I think he hooked up with her friend in Cancun when they were on spring break. Then he saw her again at Lookers. That's when she called me, "I met this guy he wants to take me out, but I don't know. He's a little short for me…"
When she finally went on a date, he took her back to his house, and all of a sudden she made up this whole story that she had to get out of her apartment, her roommate bailed on her, just so she could go and live with him.
How soon after they began dating did she move in with him?
Like, six weeks. Six months later they were engaged. Six months later they were married, and then six months after that she was pregnant. Crazy.
She was so nice to Teresa in the beginning. I don't like Teresa, I think she's sneaky, but I do know for a fact Teresa tried to welcome her as a friend, as a a sister, and as soon as they got married she started treating Teresa like shit.
Is her new book about having a sexy marriage a sham?
She wasn't even into him [Joe Gorga] like that. She was not attracted to him. Of course, I'm sure she fell in love with him eventually, but the first thing was the money.
When she first met Joe she was hooking up with like three other guys at the time. There was a guy Dave who she came to see at my house after she was married. She didn't hook up with him, but why would she come to see her ex-boyfriend? But she couldn't be with Dave because he didn't have enough money.
Thank you Jesus, right?
Thank you, Jesus. Please! She did tell me, I remember, we were driving home from a wedding shower for our mutual friend. We were driving through this nice part of town, and this is when she was with Bryan.
Bryan and her didn't have that much money, he had just broken his knee so he was out of commission for making money. And she kept saying, "See, this is what I want. I pray to God to send me someone with money. I want a nice house, I want this, I want that."
She would say that? I read the first chapter of her book and in it she writes that her family had the first Lincoln town car in her neighborhood…
Her dad may have had money, but then they were poor. Her mom used to go to a salon and she didn't have money to tip. She'd ask if she could bring a bottle of wine or something. She didn't have money to tip her hair stylist.
So ultimately why do you think Melissa is making up her whole act?
Right now, I think it's for the public eye, so that they like her and not Teresa. And she is putting on an act for Joe. Joe's family is old-school Italian, he doesn't want to be with a girl who slept around. If he had known how many people she slept around with he would have never married her.
So do you think he knows now how she used to be?
No I think she has him blinded and he will just say people are jealous. Listen, they couldn't ever leave each others' side. They were always trying to hook me up with one of his friends, because Melissa wasn't allowed to go out without him. This is why it was a surprise to me, how she got out that night for Sushi Lounge. I think he was going somewhere.
He's very jealous. He slapped her on the face one time because she was dancing with his one friend down the Jersey shore. He got mad at her because she was dancing with his friend and he thought she was flirting. She was dancing with him trying to be friendly, and Joe didn't like that. So, when they left the club, when we got in the car together, he smacked her on the face.
Are you shocked by what Jan had to say? Do you believe Melissa has cheated in the past!?

From what I've seen of Jan, I would NOT want to get on Jan's bad side. And it looks like Melissa has done just that.
With Teresa it wasn't a fair fight. She's just not capable of engaging in a catfight and winning it. Jan on the other hand looks like she'd fight to the death. Whether or not anything she's saying is true, I am completely entertained!
Jan looks and acts like an desperate, washed-out and totally hardened drug addict. I think her days of caring about what's true and what isn't are over.
But not as desperate as Melissa-that cheating hooker! I know she's your sister and all—but come on we all see what she is! 🙂
Love it!
There is the Marco strategy shining through. When in doubt call them drug addicts. If they have brain cancer, gloat that they'll be dead soon anyway. Estelle, you don't do much to make your client more sympathetic. You just make people detest her even more. I hope Melissa is not paying good money for your advocacy, because frankly you really suck at it.
It's the same as the double standard that the Marco's always seem to be guilty of. Hmmmm.
For someone who just complained upthread about nasty insults and mean rumors, you sure do have a lot of nerve calling someone a drug addict.
Face it, Estelle – you just don't like it when people disagree with you.
Anyway… I guess I'll go "shove it up my ass" now since that's your favorite comeback.
Good day.
I said she LOOKS and ACTS like one (which she most certainly does); obviously I have no clue whether she is or not.
Have fun.
And spare me another one of your lame-ass RECYCLED comebacks. You use the same ones on everybody.
"Have fun"… derp… oh-kay.
…Next you're going to say "it's just a show, I don't care" HA
I see.
YOU can make assumptions about the character of others bc of the way they LOOK and ACT… How special. You must be so unique.
Well you ACT like know-it-all snot and that makes you LOOK like a hypocritical child when you get caught making an ass out of yourself on these boards day after day.
Actually, I think she's quite beautiful, and so is Melissa; both are gorgeous to look at. I think Melissa looked even better before this recent nose job; she never should have touched it, as I think it gave her face more character. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's just how I behold her! 🙂
Actually, the fact that she has been offered money and hasn't sold any of her information gives her loads of credibility in my eyes. What she says make a lot of things make more sense. I believe Jan, and believe she knows a lot more but is not interested in getting involved. Good for her!
Nope, not shocked at all. I heard he smacked her a year or so ago, someone on here actually brought it up, think the name was " The Source"- always had good intel, and it seems they were right. So , you mean to tell me, that ALL of these people form NJ to Florida are lying, just because they are jealous of Melissa? No freaking way. The girl did some dirty stuff and people are sick of her lying and getting away with it- point blank.
Everyone forgot that he was accused of raping someone in college?
Well said! I totally believe her interview! I think Melissa is a gold digging, selfish , piece of crap! Her children are RUDE and treat Joe with no respect at all! I've seen that " little Joey smack Joe in the head and call him Stupid a number of times
Come on…get real….They are ALL selfish and on the show for the money, not just Melissa! And the ONLY well behaved children on this show are Kathy's, Teresa's children are just as rude as Melissa's!
I hate it when people say things when they have no idea what they're talking about. Have you read Kathy's kids tweets? They're horrible and vile and should be ashamed of themselves. As far as the other little kids, they're KIDS! Give it a rest. Like all of you I'm sure have perfect little angels.
That's the older boy and his name is Gino…he looks like Old Man Gorga. Who I also think was/is probably a mean drunk.
Yes and she also is crazy! Slashing tires and what not! But knowing he really did hit her is horrible. Now that that truth is out again, she will write a book in future, he will be away from her she will be the single mom.. heard it hear first! Caro – right prediction, wrong couple!!!!
@ Summer- my reply to you guys did not go where intended. Sorry!
Isabella: I fucking love you.
And you know that.
And nobody has a right to put their hands on you except for me when I am virtually high fiving you right now for telling that loser where to go. Which is far, far away.
You deserve many Tim Tams for your bravery.
He deserves public shaming a a swift kick to the janglies.
My heart to you babe xxx
Isabella Patricia, I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I am glad you found your way out of the situation. Thank you for sharing with us. Even if just on this blog, someone could be reading your story and it could help. God bless 🙂
Wow. Isabella P. Sorry you had to go through that. The fact that you had the strength and good sense to walk out the door and not look back is pretty amazing. You are my hero of the day!
Isabella, you are a strong woman and should be commended for standing up to the epitome of a bully. I'm thankful that you had the strength to get him out of your life.
Please don't apologize Isabella
Not only have you not done anything that requires an apology on your part, you deserve a hug and to be thanked.
It's very brave of you to share something so painful and personal.
I'm so very proud that you found the strength to walk away and not fall into the trap of abuse.
You keep smiling sweetheart knowing you don't have to sleep with one eye open.
Oh, man… This is too much info. Oy vey! Sorry…
*financially unstable
Caroline's prediction thus far is uncannily accurate.
She didn't call Teresa going to jail too, though.
What do you mean jpg? Just about Teresa and Joe? Or are you referring to something about Melissa?
NO. Caroline was dead on with the right couple.
– right prediction, wrong couple!!!!
AMEN sister was just thinking that so many ppl from NJ to Florida are that jealous of her PPHHLLEEZZ.
Im on twitter and friends with two of her ex Bryan just made a little interview yesterday he's put the link up and he's had enough and he'll be doing another full interview telling his side and what he knows what happened.
Also another ex which Im friends with is also being interviewed but it's in writing WITH PROOF.
yeah Melissa your that gorgeous and talented we're all jealous of you LMFAO
Omg say it ain't so!! Looks like you got the scoop!! Post the links in here! My nosy self wants to see!! Lol I'm a good judge of buckshyt and I've always thought Melissa was sneaky. I told my husband when she first got on the show 'something about her is off…she looks sneaky as fuk' Lol and bam! Here Ya go! I knew it!Lol
Take away that crap we know from last 2 seasons; that BOOK itself will do her in! And that is ALL her fault also! Im still waiting for the Boca Bitches to show up ( if they are real , LOL)
Boca Bitches?? Who are they?
The cheerleaders that made her the mascot? LMAOOOOOOOOOO
I watched a Lifetime movie once that had the same storyline. Girls were jealous and took their former friend out in the desert and beat the crap outta her. I think they killed the girl in the movie. Guess Meho didn't want to go that far 🙂
No one knows… only Melissa 🙂
There are talked about in her "book"… hehe..
If you go online the fist chapter or tella novella, is out there somewhere. So if you are in the mood to piss your pants laughing, have at it sister! Allegedly, they were girls that finally befriended her only to be jealous of course of her beauty and turned on her. And like 30 of them , in a remote area mind you, bullied her and attacked her… The Boca Bitches.
Hi Summer,
I also think that Melissa must be great in bed (and while we are at it, Kim Z because I have no idea how she lands either sugar daddies or a seemingly great catch like Troy …but I digress).
But I think her major talent is making Joey think that HE is the one who is fantastic in bed…as ego's need stroking too. 😀
Hi Rabble
Good point she prob does stroke his ego & makes him feel as tho is some amazing lover in bed. Yuck lol
who's Kim Z?
Please learn how to punctuate your writing if you are going to publish it.
Go read >> jezebel.com on what Melissa says in her book and see how incredibly violent and bullying Joe Gorga is. My gawd I hope he doesn't kill someone.
Melissa and the kids need to get away from him.
Please share the story on fan sites.
How DARE you call anyone who supports Melissa stupid! Speak for yourself! Bravo wants Melissa on the show, and she has every right to be there! Many people feel the same way about Teresa's fans, and question why they support her considering the mess she is in.

damn it seems like maybe jan is a little jealous of melissa? not for nothing she looks like a man, ugly girls are always jealous of their pretty friends. shes kissing her ass one day at lunch and tearing her up the next. anything to get her 15 minutes. i know its good for ratings but come on i dont want trash like that on the show. also that older women what is she the new kim g? at her age she should above this kind of stuff.
I think Jan is a way better looking than Melissa. I don't think she's jealous of M's looks. Who is the old lady you're referring to? Penny?
Why is this on the top of the page, posted first above newer stories??
I have no doubt this total famewhore use to sit next to Melissa and gossip with her about the Guidice's and now that THAT is no longer workingfor her she's out to destroy Melissa.
P.S. SO DO YOU All About!!!!! (Sorry!)
Jan looks like a hot tranny mess. I don't think all Jan had to say is a lie but so much of it is just vindictive and getting digs at a former friend. I think she is filled with hate. Needs to let it go. She sounds a little Lauri Petersonish to me. Especially about Melissa seeing an ex boyfriend right before her third child was born. If you don't know, don't insinuate.
As I said, Melissa chose her. Do you really think Melissa is going to have a high caliber of friends?
Christmas came early this year! Thank you Jan!
Well I believe the part about Melissa being cheap. She always shops in forever 21 garden state plaza and willow brook. Melissa needs to fess up and come clean about her dirty laundry before it gets aired out in the worse way.
Very true but Melissa chose her as a friend. She also initiated the meeting.
I'm actually happy there are finally people coming out to expose Melissa for the POS she is. Pretty soon, no one will be able to deny it. You know, for those who are blind to her true character. I still can't understand how anyone can't see through her – her lies alone should give her away.
Melissa claims that she was the most beautiful girl in all the land, so naturally every girl was a jealous hater and every guy was desperate to get with her. She is still trying to maintain this lie even though there are pictures of her from back then that show Melissa was FAR from being a supermodel.
Notice in this photo of her friends in their 20s, Melissa is easily the least attractive girl in the bunch:?w=490&h=370
I agree. She's got nice teeth even though they look ridiculously white. I don't know if you watched "Friends" but it reminds me of the episode with Ross and his over whitened, glowing teeth.
Forgot to finish my thought – her teeth are the only thing about her that's attractive. Although as I said, they're shockingly white.
Today is a bad day to be a Marco, huh Estelle & JPG?
LOL!!!! Better have an emergency meeting today!
These women as well as you avid watchers of the show. Are weak by definition. You live all your lives behind a man. You have no worthy career. And you never will.
It says more about you that you would make such an ignorant comment about the many posters here when you have no idea who any of us are. That's the epitome of foolishness and idiocy. I am not going to defend myself to someone as low as you but I assure you that my situation proves how inane you are for making such a statement.
digital deserves no respect. She states her lowly opinion of people who watch the show yet here she is posting on a blog for this same show. What an a$$.
"Like, six weeks. Six months later they were engaged. Six months later they were married, and then six months after that she was pregnant. Crazy."
Did anyone else notice that Melissa likes to do things in the number six month increments – 6 6 6 – Thank you Jesus huh?????
OMG you people are hysterical. There's some great comments in here.
I don't think it's as pedestrian as a "bad edit" but something that had to be addressed due to all the off-season gossip, re: Bulldog Bryan, etc.
Of all the reunions, this one should be very, very riveting.
I'd love it if that's when Bryan showed up with all of his proof. And I do believe he has proof.
I rather think this is all a bunch of hoopla to get people talking about Mel. I think she and her friends (including the ex) are all in on it. Her skeletons come out, it gets the fans talking about her and in the end she can blame it on Teresa. It's all a set up. No such thing as bad PR right?
Why didn't she speak up and admit that she was present on the night Jan claimed that an affair took place? That didn't require a fight. Instead those rode hard-put away wet hags attacked Melissa and instead of standing WITH her SIL, the queen of indictiments stood with them facing DOWN her SIL. I can see why JoeGo is just over it. He could see clearly what was going on.
Not to change the subject but did anyone else notice how upset the bartender was when JoGo stabbed the knife in the bar top. She blew a gasket. They sure edited that out. But yet JoGo never uttered a word when Jan and Penny were accusing his wife. Hmmmm.
No, he didn't. He just sat there and laughed in their faces.
It was a lady and she said "are you F—- kidding me" and then you can tell it was edited and showed them smiling.
I'm not talking about the scene in the bar. I'm talking about at the hair thing when Jan and Penny were obviously lying about his wife and proving to be the worst actresses ever. Joey was laughing his ass off.
And I loved it when he tried to get rid of Teresa (who was determined to stay and make sure everyone got their lines right) by saying, "Why don't you go mingle?" And he was smiling when he said it. He TOTALLY has her number. 🙂
Sure. Joey laughs his ass off when anyone says anything about HIS wife – HIS property. Just like he came charging in the PFS last season to hunt down the guy who dared to say "hi Melissa, remember me"? Right. Joey is so even tempered. You can say it as much as you want Estelle. It will never make what you're saying true.
Like he's that smart! You give that oompa loompa waaaaaaay too much credit. If it has nothing to do with his penis, he's oblivious.
Sounds like you coached him well "Estelle"… Now pat yourself on the back for that one!
Except that the only reason Melissa finally broke down and exasperatedly said, "YES, Teresa, we BELIEVE you," was to make her GO AWAY, which she just wasn't doing despite ALL their efforts.
IOW they didn't believe her AT ALL, and if anything Teresa made herself look even MORE guilty about the PFS setup.
And Joey's impression of Teresa, ("Make sure you tell dem I had nuttin' to do widdit, RIIIIGHT?") was HYSTERICAL! 🙂
I believe Teresa was truly relieved that it was proven she wasn't involved – but she really should have butted out towards the end. She was unintentionally making the whole thing about her. She should have taken a walk at the end.
Actually it's Melissa"s cousin TreyC who is the singer… Think sister Kim wanted to be one…

Of all the shades, this was my least favorite. It was the least pigmented, as there was definite translucency to the overall color (it looked like an intense lip stain), but the color settled and migrated into lip lines within two hours of wear. Then, the settling continued to worsen for the next three hours of wear. It lasted with some color for as long as five hours, and then there was residual staining that remained for at least another hour. The settling was really noticeable and looked crumbly between the lines (so if you smiled). The consistency felt like the other pencils–soft, lightly creamy–and it didn't tug or pull on the lips. It was neither drying nor hydrating while I wore it.

This application claims benefit of International application PCT/FI94/00372, filed Aug. 24, 1994.
This invention relates to a method and a system for performing redundancy control of baseband primary channel interfaces of mutually substantially identical receivers in a digital transmission device, such as a radio link.
Redundant transmission devices, which typically use two identical transmitters and receivers connected in parallel, e.g. a radio link, and a baseband branching means connected to them (so-called 1+1 redundancy), operate in both the inbound and outbound direction of a telecommunications network. The selection of the radio device to be used in each particular instance usually depends on which one of the devices produces the signal of the highest quality.
In so-called frequency redundancy, device redundancy is realized by having two signals of different frequencies propagating between the near end and far end, i.e. the system comprises two transmitter-receiver pairs operating at different frequencies. So-called polarization redundancy is analogous, but it carries two signals having different polarizations.
By using a changeover control method, the control of device redundancy of a radio link jump secured by frequency or polarization redundancy is effected, i.e. a reliable and simple device redundancy (not hitless) for the radio link jump.
In the prior-art changeover control methods, the signal received by the less faulty receiver is selected as a line signal. At the far end, it may happen that one of the transmitters is faulty, and therefore forwards an alarm signal AIS (Alarm Indication Signal), whereas the stand-by transmitter is completely faultless. A drawback of the known methods is that as radio links do not usually identify the information content of a signal to be transmitted, a received AIS signal will not bring about failure detection in the radio link, and so it is quite possible that the AIS signal is selected for transmission to the line, even though the stand-by signal would be faultless.
The object of this invention is to eliminate the draw backs of the above-mentioned known methods. To achieve this, the method according to the invention is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:
monitoring the quality of a signal received from the transmission line;
monitoring a possible failure indication or alarm signal concerning the transmission direction at the far end;
performing a failure situation comparison between the mutually redundant receivers;
performing redundancy control of the baseband primary channel interfaces of the receivers on the basis of the failure situation comparison so that the signal with higher quality of the output signals of the receivers will be transmitted towards the primary channel.
The method according to the invention has the following advantages:
the changeover control method according to the invention allows reliable and simple device redundancy to be realized for a radio link jump with no other external changeover control means than a passive baseband branching means and cabling between the redundant pair;
reception and transmission may take place over different pairs of the redundant link jump, whereby transmission of one pair and reception of the other pair may fail without a break in the connection in either direction; and
the method according to the invention can be used in any transmission device using a baseband branching means and a connection between far-end and near-end control means.
In the following the invention will be described more fully by way of example with reference to the attached drawing, in which FIG. 1 shows two mutually communicating radio links forming part of a baseband network.
FIG. 1 shows a redundant system which comprises four identical transmitter-receiver radios A, B, C and D, which form two redundant pairs A, B and C, D; and two passive baseband branching means 1 and 2. The structure of suitable baseband branching means is described more closely e.g. in the Finnish Patent No. 87 123. A signal LT1 from a line L1 is branched in the baseband branching means 1 to the radio units A and B, while a signal LT2 from a line L2 is branched in the branching means 2 to the units C and D. Correspondingly, either one of signals RA or RB received by the radio unit A or B is selected through the branching means 1 as a signal LR1 to be transmitted to the line L1, and either one of signals RC or RD received by the radio unit C or D is selected through the branching means 2 as a signal LR2 to be transmitted to the line L2.
An in-built microcomputer or microprocessor PA, 35 PB, PC, PD with its software takes care of the functions of each one of the radios. The redundant pairs A, B and C, D are interconnected by control buses 3 and 4. The microprocessors of the redundant pair communicate with each other over the control bus, the exchange of failure information forming part of the communication.
A changeover control algorithm according to the invention is based on two criteria:
deterioration of a signal from the transmission line at the near end (RXF=RX Failure), whereby the quality of the signal received from the transmission line is monitored; and
a failure occurring at the far end in the transmission direction (FTXF=Farend TX Failure), whereby a possible failure indication or alarm signal concerning the transmission direction is monitored at the far end; this failure has thus already been detected in the failed far-end device itself and transmitted to the near end on a control channel multiplexed into a radio frame (e.g. 8-bit).
The algorithm, i.e. the software stored in the microcomputers PA to PD, performs at intervals a failure situation comparison between the mutually redundant receivers, on the basis of which the redundancy control of the baseband primary channel interfaces of the receivers is carried out by controlling the receive-direction output buffers so that the signal with higher quality of the received signals is forwarded towards the primary channel. If the failure situation comparison produces signals of equal quality, the receiver that transmits to the line is not changed. The changeover criteria may have different priorities; near-end failures (RXF) preferably have a higher priority than far-end failures (FTXF).
Propagation of a signal transmitted from one radio link to another will be described further below with reference to attached FIG. 1. It will suffice for the present purposes that the propagation of the signal is described in one direction only, in this specific case from the far end A, B to the near end C, D (LT1→LR2), as the reverse direction is functionally identical. As transmission and reception take place on different channels between A-C and B-D, the directions do not either affect each other.
The signal LT1 from the line L1 is divided in the passive baseband branching means 1, so that it has two propagation paths to the receiving radio link, in this case to the near end:
LT1→LTA→TA→RC; or
The control of the receive-direction output buffers of the radio is used as the changeover device of the radio devices. It takes care that only one of the units of the redundant pair C and D at the near end is allowed to transmit its baseband output signal (LRC, LRD) through the baseband branching means 2 to the line. The microprocessors of the units select the unit which is allowed to transmit--C or D--on the basis of the failure situation analysis.
In practice, the software of one of the micro-processors of the redundant pair operates in a so-called Master state and the other in a so-called Slave state. Only the unit in the Master state is allowed to transmit a signal to the line as the LR2 signal. The failure situation analysis at the near end (analysing the quality of the output signals LRC and LRD) and the Master/Slave selection between the near-end units are performed in such a way that the unit in the Master state reads its own failure situation at predetermined intervals and asks for a similar situation from the unit in the Slave state through the control bus 4. The unit in the Master state performs the failure situation comparison, and, if it detects that the unit in the Slave state has more serious failures, that both units have equally serious failures, or that neither one of the units has failures, the unit in the Master state retains the changeover control, thus feeding a signal to the line. If the unit in the Master state detects that it has more serious failures than the unit in the Slave state, it performs the changeover of states in the following way: Master→Slave, Slave→Master, so that the unit or radio transmitting to the line also changes.
If the far-end A, B detects a failure in the transmission direction or knows that the outbound signal TA or TB is a failure or alarm signal (AIS), the corresponding receiving radio C or D is informed of the failure on a control channel multiplexed into the signal frame. Control channels between radio links are, as such, previously known, and will not be described more closely herein. According to the invention, however, the receiving radio reads the failure data by demultiplexing the control channel provided in the digital data transmission frame.
Information from the control channel is taken into account in the failure situation comparisons performed by the near-end Master unit. For instance, if C has been the Master unit and neither one of the redundant radios has failures, but the near end receives data indicating that the far-end unit A is faulty, the Master performs the Master/Slave change-over in the favour of unit D, so that the superior signal LRD produced by the link B-D is fed to the line LR2. With the markings used in the figure, the signal path LT1→LTA→TA→RC→LRC→LR2 thus changes into the signal path LT1→LTB→TB→RD→LRD→LR2. If the far-end failure occurred in unit B, no change is performed.
Signals shown in the drawing that so far have not been mentioned are related to an identical but reverse communication event where the optional paths for the signal are:
LT2→LTC→TC→RA→LRA→LR1, and
LT2→LTD→TD→RB→LRB→LR1; thus they are not significant for the understanding of the invention.
It is obvious to one skilled in the art that the different embodiments of the invention are not limited to the above example, but they may vary at will within the scope of the attached claims. Accordingly, the invention may be applied in any transmission device that uses a baseband branching means and a connection between far-end and near-end control means.

Scott was taken to the Brunswick County Detention Center under a $500 secured bond.

The couple, owners of Verity Management Solutions, thought they moved to Brunswick County from their home state of Wisconsin five years ago to get away from the cold weather, but they say a higher calling has presented itself—helping young girls break the cycle of poverty.
The N.C. Medical Board has reprimanded Shallotte physician assistant Jonathan Lawrence Langston, P.A., for not completing mandated discipline requirements in the time allotted.

NYPD cop dragged by car at Manhattan checkpoint
Officer is recovering from his injuries at a hospital after he was dragged by a Mercedes in the streets of Manhattan
By Candice Ruud
NEW YORK — An NYPD officer from Massapequa is recovering from his injuries at a hospital after he was dragged by a Mercedes in the streets of Manhattan.
The NYPD said the officer flagged down a 2004 Mercedes-Benz at a vehicle checkpoint at East 110th Street and Third Avenue in East Harlem about 5 p.m. Friday night, and directed the car to a safety zone for a routine check.
The officer then discovered the driver had a suspended license, and ordered him to step out of the car. But the 23-year-old man instead threw the Mercedes into drive and took off, as the officer clung to the car's steering wheel.
"The police officer attempted to stop the vehicle and grabbed the steering wheel," a police spokesman said. "He was dragged about 10 feet and thrown to the ground."
The suspect sped off in an unknown direction and is still at large, police said.
The officer sustained minor injuries to his knees, back and legs, and was taken to nearby St. Luke's Hospital for treatment.
Police said they are not releasing the names of either the officer or the suspect.

How do we begin to describe an "indescribable gift", or plumb the depths of "unsearchable riches", or know that which surpasses

When Christians tell me that they want to live like Jesus, I like to ask if they have multiplied

The laws of physics apply to practically everything we do and touch every day. The concepts of physics are applied to music, medicine, mechanics, electricity, light, motion, and heat. The college of Maryland has over thirty undergraduate and graduate courses devoted to the intricacies of physics and how it relates to our daily lives. Students taking physics in high school are almost always drawn to this science because they can see how it works around them in each of their actions. However, it is not a simple course to understand; many students love the ideas of physics but need help understanding the laws of physics, especially when it comes to the upper level math that is also required. College students have an even greater propensity to need assistance in the multitude of physics courses.
A sampling of college physics courses:
If you or your student is struggling in a physics class, now is the time to call. Hire a professional tutor that can easily explain the concepts of physics that are difficult for students to grasp. Having the help of an expert tutor can make any level of physics course manageable and achievable. All of the physics tutors we provide will hold a degree in the area of study the student is learning. To preview a list of our qualified physics tutors call us or complete our request form today.

By shososhososhoso 22:35
I have been writing about the differences between Ikebana and contemporary art. Although there are many differences, what is the most important and fundamental difference? Recognising such a difference would help us to understand better both Ikebana and contemporary art.
After practising the both forms of art for a while, I now realise that their difference is a bit similar to the difference between haiku and a novel. For me creating Ikebana is just like creating haiku and making a sculpture is like writing a novel. I'll explain the difference more in detail in the next issues.
This is the Ikebana work I made for Shumei Kobayashi's exhibition at the Lesley Kehoe Galleries on Collins St, Melbourne. I used a container by a master potter, Shoji Mitsuo. I heard that Mr Shoji visited the opening and I hope that he liked it. Arranging many Japonica branches one by one was wonderful meditation for me. I hope many people will experience that through Ikebana. I also hope that many will visit our Ikebana exhibition at Abbotsford convent on 8 & 9 October.

Ikebana Today 49
By shososhososhoso 22:35
I'd like to mention another difference between Ikebana and contemporary art. Contemporary art has an academic foundation. This is related to its broad range of critics and the rich variety of contexts - which I have already discussed. As a result, it seems that contemporary artists, particularly art teachers in universities, are required to be good at theory as well as practice.
As far as I know, however, very few artists are good at both theory and practice. Some artists create wonderful works but their theses are rather disappointing. We also have to be aware that art practice has become hard to define since the modern art promoted the idea that art can be made from any media.
But in principle, practice-based research seems to be a major approach that regards creating art as a type of research seeking a new insight.
On the other hand, Ikebana is easy, in the sense that what matters is only practice. All that is required to become a teacher is to be good at practice. Although theory may be required under certain conditions, its is rather limited in terms of academic depth.
Is it possible to develop theory or academic aspects in Ikebana? That may be one of the missions for the International Society of Ikebana Studies. Its journals and some of the books by its members are now a part of the Monash university library collection. Ikebana could become more interesting.
The image is the work I created for Ikebana performance in May this year. I kept working for 40 minutes while Shakuhachi and Koto players performed live music.
In August there will be announcement of the Ikebana Gallery Award, and in October we will have an Ikebana Exhibition: Wa in Abbotsford Convent. Please visit my website for the details.

I have been thinking about Ikebana and contemporary art for some time. There are many contemporary artworks that use flowers as media. However, I often felt that they were not using flower as Hana (flower). Many Ikebana practitioners would agree with what I feel. Some may even say that they are not using flower to express their love for flowers or that their flowers as are not alive. But such criticisms tend to be too shallow.
How can I explain the difference in the ways Ikebana artists and contemporary artists use flowers in their artworks? What is the Ikebana way of using flowers? After all I had to think about the definition of Ikebana and wrote a paper, Flowers in Contemporary Art, which was published in the International Journal of Ikebana Studies, Vol. 3. I analysed the artworks using flowers by three contemporary artists, Andy Goldsworthy, Sarah Sze, and Anya Gallaccio. I'll write some of my findings here in the coming issues. If you found it interesting, please visit my site for summary of my paper. Further, if you would like to buy a copy of the journal please visit the site of International Society of Ikebana Studies (http://www.ikebana-isis.org).
I would like to show my work commissioned by Japan Foundation this month. I made this work for the Snow Travel Expo in Melbourne. Being challenged to use a new style with many restrictions was very hard but extremely rewarding.

New Publication: Flowers in Contemporary Art

Shoso Shimbo's new article was published.
Shimbo, Shoso (2015). Flowers in Contemporary Art: From an Ikebana Perspective, International Journal of Ikebana Studies, 3, 11-19.
This essay considers similarities and differences between contemporary art using flowers as medium, and Ikebana. It investigates strategies used by contemporary artists dealing with flowers, and comments on the dearth of discourse on flowers in Ikebana. This essay focuses on works by three contemporary artists, Andy Goldsworthy, Sarah Sze and Anya Gallaccio. Flowers in their works are analysed in three ways: as a medium, in intrinsic context and in extrinsic context. While in some aspects contemporary artists who use flowers in their work demonstrate a proximity to Ikebana ⎯ for instance emphasising their ephemeral nature ⎯ contemporary artists use flowers as signifiers within intrinsic and extrinsic contexts too, perhaps framing flowers as nonsignificant everyday objects, or references to the feminine in art history.

Key to the platform's capabilities are eight independent processors used together or independently, depending on the workload, to optimize power usage, the company said. The product delivers more than 16 hours of HD video or 140 hours of music on a single charge.
Tegra 2 can deliver screen resolutions from four-to-eight times that of smartphones, and can power mobile computers with screen sizes ranging from five to 15 inches. The platform is 10 times faster than processors used in smartphones today, and delivers up to four times the performance of the previous Tegra processor, Nvidia said.
The company has released an updated developer kit to help in the building of applications for Tegra-powered devices, which could include smartbooks and smartphones, as well as tablets.
ARM processors dominate the market for handheld computer devices smaller than netbooks, mini-laptops that typically use Intel's Atom processor. ARM chipmakers could face tougher competition this year when Intel releases its Moorestown platform for smartphones.
Moorestown comprises a system-on-chip, code-named Lincroft, that integrates a 45-nanometer Atom, a graphics processor, video, and memory controller; and an I/O hub, code-named Langwell. The platform will be accompanied by Intel's Moblin operating system, which handles voice calls.
