Lesley's Art Institute of Boston students Melissa McGill and Nick Nazzaro accepted to Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Exhibition
Friday, March 08, 2013
From May 15 to June 5, their work will hang in The Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in New York City, and it will also appear in the printed exhibition catalog.
"The AIB Illustration Department was thrilled to hear of Melissa and Nick's achievement. We're very proud of them, and of our department as well," said Assistant Professor Keith MacLelland, acting chair of the Illustration Department. "Being accepted into The Society of Illustrators is a prestigious accomplishment, and one that not every illustrator gets to experience."
McGill and Nazzaro's illustrations were chosen from more than 5,000 entries submitted by professors of college-level students nationwide, and will be among over a hundred works featured in the exhibition.
Melissa McGill's work, titled the "The Office," is a collage made of cut out pieces of paper from magazines, and she relied on shapes and colors to form the two characters from the NBC sitcom, The Office.
"I love drawing caricatures of celebrities, but for this piece I decided to try a new technique," said McGill, who is a senior Illustration major. "I wanted to see if I could successfully communicate who these characters are with collage. It was definitely a challenge but ended up being a fun and different way to caricature."
Nick Nazzaro's work, titled "Fun & Safe," is a digital piece he created with Photoshop in response to recent statements by Wayne LaPierre, head of the National Rifle Association. It depicts children playing with guns instead of water toys and floats in a pool.
"My goal was to point out how ridiculous an idea it is to give children guns in the hopes of them using them responsibly someday," said Nazzaro, also a senior Illustration major, whose work is almost completely digitally created, although he creates the some 3D pieces and original stencils. "My style is very graphic, full of symbols and stylization."
For the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Exhibition, a jury of professional peers, including illustrators and art directors, selected the most outstanding works created throughout the year. Pieces were accepted based on the quality of technique, concept and skill of medium used.
Scholarship awards are granted to approximately 25 students whose work is deemed the best of the best, according to the Society's website, which says it has awarded over $1.5 million to deserving students since the competition's inception in 1981.
The Society of Illustrators promotes the art of illustration and its history and evolving nature through exhibitions, lectures and education.

Thought that you guys might like to look at Creatine which is can be beneficial to those who suffer from Herpes I/II.
I cannot link directly as I haven't enough postings
Does supplemental creatine prevent herpes recurrences?
Ness SR, McCarty MF.
Pantox Laboratories, San Diego, California 92109, USA.
While functioning as a general practitioner at the Camp Pendleton Marine Base, the first author treated numerous patients with recurrent genital herpes. Beginning in 1998, a number of these patients failed to return for periodic acyclovir therapy. Inquiries revealed that these patients had all commenced supplemental creatine after their last outbreak, and had experienced no further outbreaks. A literature search uncovered a report that cyclocreatine, a synthetic compound structurally and functionally homologous to creatine, inhibits the replication of cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster, and herpes simplex types 1 and 2, in low millimolar concentrations; furthermore, dietary cyclocreatine reduces morbidity and mortality in mice infected with HSV-2. The fact that both creatine and cyclocreatine exert neuroprotective and cancer-retardant effects in rodents, encourages the speculation that creatine shares the anti-viral activity of cyclocreatine. Pilot studies to assess the impact of creatine loading on recurrence of oral and genital herpes appear warranted; the impact of creatine on shingles occurrence in high-risk patients could also be explored. Although initially conceived as an aid to athletic performance, creatine loading may prove to have broad preventive and therapeutic applications.
I have many friends whom have successfully sorted themselves out with a long cycle of creatine to saturate system and then large doses to firefight outbreaks...
Creatine is also a lot cheaper that Acyclovir and other OTC drugs...
I hope this helps someone out....

Kick Coal and Oil Out of LA Rally @ City Hall
Sunday, 10 October, 2010 - 12:30 - 15:00
"Kick Coal and Oil Out of LA"
When: 12:30PM, Sunday October 10, 2010
Where: South Lawn at City Hall, on First Ave between Main St and N. Spring St. (The street will be closed off for access as part of the CicLaVia closure throughout LA this day)
Who: Greenpeace, Sierra Club, 350.org, and other organizations
What: Rally to Kick Coal and Oil OUT of LA!
Los Angeles is too dependent on dirty fossil fuels. Coal-fired power plants in Arizona and Utah deliver dirty, dangerous, and increasingly expensive power to Los Angeles. Those plants alone create as much global warming pollution as 5.9 millions cars. Locally, oil refineries poison the Los Angeles air, harming local residents while making climate change worse. These same coal and oil companies take the money we pay for our power and use it to fight public health, safety and environmental standards at City Hall, the State Capital, and in Washington D.C. Enough is enough.
There is a solution to our over-dependence on these dirty ways of getting power. Energy efficiency projects and clean energy can help replace dirty coal. Better public transportation, bike paths, and electric vehicles can help end our addiction to oil. Los Angeles can lead the nation in this clean energy transition, attracting new job-creating industries to our city. We can create jobs by moving towards a cleaner future, but we need your help.
Join us October 10th to rally against the coal and oil industries' grip on Los Angeles. This rally is being held as people stand up in cities all over the world as part of an international day of action against climate change.
Speakers and visuals TBA.
We are in the earliest planning stages and are looking for help. Want to help recruit? Download the flyer below and distribute widely! Bring to your church, school, local farmers market, and let us know what you are up to. This is a huge opportunity to bring so many movements together!

Obviously no one ever wants to go through the trauma of waking up in the middle of the night to a house fire.
In this situation, most people are not aware of just how dangerous the smoke of the fire can be.
Fire smoke inhalation is obviously dangerous in any quantity. However, too much smoke inhalation will in turn put too much carbon monoxide into your lungs.
Carbon Monoxide prohibits hemoglobin from transferring oxygen into your body and then carbon dioxide out of your body. Any time of repeated exposure will cause brain damage. It's usually prevalent that you would pass out before dying of smoke inhalation.
However, it has been said that approximately 15 minutes of straight smoke (0% oxygen) could possibly kill a person and 5-10 minutes could cause permanent brain damage. These figures definitely vary on the amount of oxygen in the room, if there is more oxygen, then you would have more time of course but not much.
During a fire there is constant burning of oxygen, therefore as a fire continues to rage, the more oxygen gets removed from the room and the more dangerous it can be to the body.

A lovely apartment that was the perfect location for us. The check in process took place at a hotel about 6 blocks away and was very inconvenient. The... apartment was not well maintained, broken bottle opener, a lamp not working and an overhead kitchen light needed replacing (constant buzz). We only stayed two nights and to get the best out of this place you need to stay a week and use the kitchen fully. автор: Richard от USA; дата: 02/10/2013

Kevin Garnett doesn't talk to Ray Allen anymore
by Scott M Gleeson, USA TODAY
Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen seemed like best buds when they first signed with the Celtics, joining Paul Pierce to form the "Big 3″ and win an NBA title in 2008.
Now that Allen left town to join another "Big 3″ in the Miami Heat, the team that eliminated the Celtics from the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games last season, Garnett is saying he cut ties with his former teammate.
"I don't have Ray's number anymore," Garnett told reporters at Celtics Media Day, according to the Boston Globe. "I'm not trying to communicate. I'm just being honest."
Pierce was a little less harsh, but still treated it like a bad breakup.
"I was very surprised by Ray's decision," Pierce told The Globe. "I thought we would finish our careers together. He's a grownup, he has to make a decision that's best for his family."
Interestingly, Pierce said he didn't know if Garnett would return.
"I really wasn't confident he was coming back," Pierce said. "Kevin said, 'This is it for me.' … But I've learned with Kevin that when he says no he means yes, and when he says yes he means no. But this is in his blood, this is what he's born to be."
Allen was one of the original Big 3 in Boston, but with the addition of Jason Terry in Boston and the emergence of Rajon Rondo as one of the best point guards in the league, the Celtics should still have a strong team despite Garnett and Pierce's old age.
Still, a sharpshooter of Allen's caliber will be missed, especially when the C's play the Heat.
Allen took the classy route leaving town, taking out a full-page newspaper ad thanking fans for all the great years.
The Big Ticket didn't seem to care.

Cliff Lee stifles Mets in Phillies' 2-1 win
NEW YORK - Ryne Sandberg went to 10 All-Star Games and won nine Gold Gloves as a second baseman. But Sandberg made his first 128 major league starts at third base, and thus has some working knowledge of what it's like to be a young player at an infield position that can be unforgiving if you're unprepared.
Sandberg has repeatedly raved about rookie Cody Asche.
"He's the full package down there at third base," said the Hall of Fame player-turned-manager.
Asche has dazzled with his glove for a month. His bat is catching up, too.
Last night at Citi Field, Asche made his 21st major league start at third base and fueled the Phillies' offense in a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets.
Asche, a Lehigh Valley IronPig a month ago, hit a two-out, two-run triple off Mets starter Zach Wheeler (6-3) in the fourth inning to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. Asche finished the night 2-for-3 with a walk. He has hit safely in eight straight games.
"He's really comfortable in his whole game," Sandberg said of Asche, whose batting average has jumped from .193 to .253 in the last week. "With his approach and his line-drive stroke that he naturally has, I think he's really relaxed and really starting to show that. He's got a good chance to hit the ball every time. His bat stays in the zone so long, has a line-drive stroke. When he's hitting the ball to left-center like he did on the first one, that's a really good sign that he's locked in."
After Asche's go-ahead triple, Cliff Lee did the rest, holding the Mets to two singles in his final five innings as the Phillies won for the seventh time in their last nine games. It's the first time the Phillies have won back-to-back Lee starts in more than 2 months (June 13-18).
"We're grinding it out a little more - playing hard from the start to finish," said Lee (11-6). "Just execution. I've said that from the beginning. If we play fundamental baseball, we can beat anyone, and we've started doing that in the last week-and-a-half or so."
Lee held the Mets to one run on five hits while striking out seven and walking one in eight innings.
Lee pumped his left fist after his 121st pitch of the night resulted in a strikeout of Juan Lagares with two on and two out in the eighth. Jonathan Papelbon retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to finish off Lee's victory.
Last night's win was just the 15th for the Phillies this season when they scored fewer than four runs. But Lee and Papelbon made Asche's biggest hit in a Phillies uniform stand up.
Asche joined the team July 30. He went 1-for-17 in his first six major league games.
But since breaking out of that spell, Asche is hitting .303 (20-for-66) with nine extra-base hits and 13 RBI in 19 games.
"It's just baseball," Asche said. "Adjustments are going to have to be made, no matter what kind of hitter you are, or who you are. Miguel Cabrera probably still has to make adjustments, too. It's just baseball, learning from your mistakes and trying not to make the same ones twice."
So Asche's goal is to become Miguel Cabrera? "To be the best hitter?" Asche said. "Yeah."
Asche, who hit .295 with 15 home runs in 104 games at Triple A Lehigh Valley before his promotion, has three consecutive multihit games.
"He's getting more comfortable," Lee said. "His skills are starting to show. He's starting to play more comfortably. I know his first week or so he looked a little tense, which is kind of normal. He's put that behind him and now he's being a solid player. I think that's what everyone expects out of him. He plays the right way. I see him being here a while."
Asche would just like to be in the same spot when the 2014 season opens.
After finishing out a second straight season that ends with the team on the outside looking in come playoff time, the Phillies will undoubtedly be looking to upgrade the roster this winter. Third base has been a trouble spot for finding a capable, long-term solution - one that offers both offense and defense - for a decade.
Maikel Franco, the Phillies' top hitting prospect who celebrated his 21st birthday yesterday, hit his 30th home run of the season last night for Double A Reading. The Phils began experimenting with playing Franco at first base last week, although he is expected to come to spring training to compete for the third-base job in February.
Asche, meanwhile, can make the most of what amounts to his own major league tryout at the same position in the final month of the Phillies' season.
"In a lot of ways, that's what this month is for," Sandberg said. "He's rising to the occasion."
Domonic Brown was out of the lineup for the second straight game with right Achilles' soreness. He remains day-to-day . . . GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said the Phillies have had internal discussions about righthander Edinson Volquez, 30, who was released by the Padres on Sunday.

Currently operating a very small, early-stage startup. Just received first round of seed capital and looking to expand operations this summer. I have been looking for a developer (employee #2) to bring on by May. I found a really sharp, qualified candidate who has seven months left on his student visa before having to return to China. I would like to offer him the position but as a small start-up I do not necessarily have the extensive funds and legal resources to be able to guarantee his visa.
What would be my best course of action in this situation? Are start-ups generally allowed to sponsor work visas or is this a lost cause?
Thanks in advance, any advice is greatly appreciated.

THE ART WORLD review of Alice Neel gallery shows. The great American portrait painter, Alice Neel (1900-1984), who is the subject of two current New York gallery shows, led the kind of disheveled life that was thought of, in praise or in blame, as bohemian, before it got stamped dysfunctional. Her invincible commitment to painting won Neel a fitful career in New York, first in Depression-era radical circle and then, starting in the nineteen-fifties, after a decade of near total obscurity, as a living legend. In "Selected Works," a show of sixteen portraits, from 1942 to 1982, at David Zwirner, the pictures include neighborhood children from Spanish Harlem, where she lived for twenty years. "Nudes of the 1930s," the other new show, at Zwirner & Wirth, samples a theme in which Neel excelled. The nudes aren't erotic, but they exude carnal wisdom. They share with much other American figurative painting of the nineteen-thirties a bituminous tonality; the sun of that decade struggled to shine. They are modern in their frontality, nudging subjects off the wall and into the room, while utterly free of stylistic affectation. "Selected Works" is a bit disappointing in its undoubtedly market-conscious emphasis on formally accomplished pictures, which tends to make Neel's most elegant works bespeak a relative lack of emotional exchange with their subjects. Rather than reflect on the peremptory realities of other people, she took them head-on, turning their force around and sending it back out. At times, every brush stroke can feel like a victory, against tall odds, of high humor fringed with deadly seriousness.

[1] Even in the case of in-vitro fertilization or surrogacy, children become extrinsic to the marital relationship because a third (non-spousal) party must be introduced for conception to take place.
[2] The proponents of same-sex marriage argue that gender and race are equivalent: i.e., just as race is irrelevant to marriage, so too is gender. This is why they compare extending marriage to same-sex partners with Loving v. Virginia's extension of marriage to different race couples. They equate race-less marriage with gender-less marriage.
[3] That is, a person is the kind of being who cannot be reduced to a mere object for use; therefore, because the human body is always a person-al reality, it too cannot be reduced to an object for use.

Is there a conversion factor for lpm to pixles?
Is there a conversion factor for lpm to pixles?
Pixels are 5.4 microns across. For a line pair, you need 2 pixels. So a line pair would be 2 * 0.0054 mm in size. This give 92 lp/mm I think.
The RED 300mm is a RED.
Kick Ass Lens? If it looks good on a current 10mp DSLR, it's going to be just fine here. Remember, 2/3" "HD" cameras like the HDCAM have smaller pixels still. You don't want to know the lp/mm for an HDV camera - it's scary.
Well yeah...but. Take a look at these resolution figures for these Pentax lenses, always considered some of the best. So I think a fair comparison as the 50mm focal length is one of the easier lenses to correct for abberations no matter who they are made by. Notice that they start to get near 92 lpm around f5.6 (not counting the macro) and certainly are 1/3 to 1/2 that at the wider stops. Shorter focal lengths just get worse in overall numbers. So all I was saying was that the Red camera is going to deserve the best glass one can afford to own or rent for it.
Two things - we have an optical low pass filter which does limit the maximum resolution of the light coming in to stop aliassing artifacts. The other factor is that the major contributors to image sharpness are not the sharpness of the lens, but more environmental and user factors.
Hi Graeme,
Unless an anti-aliassing filter is something else besides a band pass filter and assuming that it is optically flat and has a proper anti reflective coating applied it should have very little effect on the quality of the taking lens in front of it. As for enviromental issuse unless it's such as rain or a fog machine I don't see this as a factor either. By user factors I guess you mean filtration such as lo-cons or nets that are designed to reduce resolution. These will affect the quality of the image. I think all I was getting at is the camera has a higher resolution potential than most lenses do.
The AA filter is a low pass filter, so it limits the maximum resolution that the sensor sees.
Environmental - more like wobble, shake and vibration of using the camera in the real world, rather than on a test bed, in a studio, pointing at a resolution chart.
I think you might be confusing wave length with resolution. A low pass or for that matter a high pass filter is refered to as a band pass filter. It doesn't matter if it's for the visual range or the audio range they both do the same thing. A low pass filter limits higher frequency waves be they audio or visual. In this case I assume it is blocking the wavelengths near the extreme short end of the visual range and into the ultra violet. If anything I would think this would improve the resolution. I know it does in sound and on film as it reduces artifacts that impair the percieved quality of the image be it aural or visual .Anyhow as I say there might be something here I'm not getting.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A woman contacted 11 News after finding a giant spider outside her front door in the Security-Widefield area.
Robyn Plugge didn't know whether to just scream or scream for help, so she settled for screaming as loud as she could.
Neighbors rushed over and saw the spider as well. One neighbor was so fascinated with the spider that he caught it and now has it as a pet.
We reached out to employees at the May Natural Museum, who confirmed to us that the spider is not a tarantula. It is a wolf spider.
We have learned the wolf spider is poisonous but the bite wont kill you. If you are bitten, however, you should see a doctor.
It's also important to note as the weather gets colder, the wolf spider is often found in homes to stay warm.

ROBLEDO V., Jorge; LOPEZ G., Cristina; ZAPATA L., Willmar y PEREZ V., Juan David. Developing a capacity assessment methodology for innovation. Perf. de Coyunt. Econ. [online]. 2010, n.15, pp. 133-148. ISSN 1657-4214.
From a Resource-Based Perspective, company competitiveness critically depends on assets accumulated by the organization. The focus of analysts often concentrates on the so-called ''innovation capacities.'' Along these lines, a main concern of theorists and practitioners of technology management, is identifying the type and level of capacity needed to support successful management systems RDI (Research, Experimental Development and Innovation). The present work aims at contributing to this issue by developing a capacity assessment methodology. It presents an evaluation methodology that integrates three components: a conceptual model based on a systemic approach to companies that borrows the conceptual proposal of Nadler and Thusman, and develops a characterization of capacities; a metric developed based on the Capability Maturity Model (CMM); and an implementation instrument based on semi-structured interviews
Palabras llave : Innovation capacities; evaluation methodology; management systems; organizational models; Resource-Based Perspective.

I am happy that we celebrated Caroline's birthday together in such a beautiful place. I was very touched by what her kids said about her in their toasts. They have a really strong bond. Definitely something to admire.
I'm not going to comment on what came out on this episode regarding Joe Giudice, because I feel that it is such a sensitive matter to talk about, and I am sure it was very hurtful for Teresa and her family to see. Despite our fighting, my heart hurt for her. That is all I will say on that matter.
As far as the sex they had in the vineyard, I think I understand more now why she chose such a time to make a scene. I was wrong thinking that it was entirely about her trying to take the spotlight away from Caroline. I think somewhere in her mind, she was marking her territory. In my opinion, she should have just peed on him, kicked up some dirt, and walked away.
I have to say that she deserves to have no-one honestly (teresa) you've stuck by her after she's proven herself not worthy enough to be fought for stuck by e.t.c. and despite the fact that she has wronged you and others in so many ways you still feel compassion for her that says a lot about your character a lot of great things . she should have been honored to have a friend like you and no I'm not just brown noseing . you really are a stand out person and from someone who hasn't had many good friends I wish more of them could be like you. I guess everyone put it best when they said misery loves company and indeed it does and that's what she's reacted towards everyone in this manner I think you're right to cut her off and hope you stick to your guns and you truly are done for good because someone like that is better off alone as a friend you're suppossed to revel in their successes not see it as competition for you be friends with people who can share in your victories and grieve with you when you are in sadness, love ya keep your head up it may be alot of drama at least within the show but it's productive because you never have to have a relationship with her again after this .
I wish all the best to you and your family. I'm sure Nicholas will thrive with all of the love and support of his wonderful parents. You are a great person and friend. Hang in there!
Dear Jacqueline, I am sorry to hear the news about your little boy. Actually though, you and Chris are wonderful parents and we all know that you two will do everything possible to raise awareness to autism research. Prayers to all of you. On another note, I totally get why you are upset with Theresa. She is not honest. She talked about all of you very badly and in the press. She put nasty comments in her cookbook and lied about her true feelings. I think her marriage is falling apart. I think her husband doesn't like her. I actually think she is becoming more and more like Danielle because she wants to remain on the show and have the ratings. If she continues her trash talking and trouble, I doubt I will watch it next season. Good luck to you and your families. I hope Ashley is doing ok too.
Jacqueline, you are the peacemaker of the group and also the person who gets hurt the most, when things go astray. Friendship is very important to you, but when people lie and do not tell you the truth, you need to evaluate whether it is worth the aggravation to keep them as friends or just throw them by the wayside. I also believe you need to go to counseling and rid yourself of the negative body image problem you have, it is pretty obvious at least on TV that your husband thinks you are beautiful and would love to see you in a bathing suit and having fun actively with the group. Just also let me say, you have a wonderful husband, I have been married for 41 years so I can see quality when I see it. Hunter
I am so sorry if you are having trouble with your son,Iyou r to kind when it comes to tree, U can see that your husband luvs you very much and puts up with all the drama, I hope this helps you i have a friend thats been with me for 36 years sometimes i luv her and sometimes I hate her so I deceided that I will do the best I can when Ican, Its always about her drama I have learned to ansere the phone when I can if I cant I wont, dont let her take away ur power friends do that to people they think they control.
Dont cry over people that move on so quickly tree will drop u in a minute and she will feel bad when its to late,
Jacqueline, my prayers are with you and your family. I have family members that have children with autism. there are so many different levels and each child is different. there are no words that can console you. This is life time challenging and a life time of work. There will be days that will exxaperate you and surely overwhelm. You will have to take time for you and not walk away but step away and regroup yourself, recharge. You are an intelligent woman who researches and have many things at your reach to help provide a s many resources to help your son have quality of life. My prayers are with you and Chris. (p.s. ... definitely having CJ participate in helping (interacting) is important.
My prayers are with you and your family. God only gives us what we can handle, and you appear to be a strong woman...With family behind you, you can get through anything. Friends come and go, and some friendships simply are not worth the time... Especially when that friendship is dealing with boarder line insanity or the lack of reality ( and not tv reality).
Jac, So sorry to hear about your son but trust in GOD and he will get you through anything. I have a child with a disability so I can relate to some of what you are going through. You have so much on your plate with your son it seems as though you may not need the stress of the show added. Teresa is going to do what is best for HER family. She is selfish and rude and I can understand why you didn't enter into the conversation to chose one side or the other. You are just drained and you can see it in your face. Take yourself out of the middle. You and Teresa have different definitions of the term loyalty in friends. Good Luck. You are a sweet lady regardless of what the Teresa fans say.
Jacqueline I really liked you and Teresa being friends! Sometimes you have to realize that friends don't always tell eachother everything....especially things that they might be embarrassed about or ashamed of. I.e. your husband doesn't want anyone talking about his failing businesses but yet you guys get upset at Teresa for not wanting to discuss her business. I feel that you are genuine, even though the post below say otherwise! Good for you for not getting involved. You, Dena and now Teresa have a bad history with Caroline....hhhhmmmm wonder why?
I love the way you want to be friends with someone that will never think you are equal to her... Carolyn was there when Teresa hurt you and will be there after she does it again and again...Faking being asleep was soo not right....Teresa keeps saying she did nothing... WHY did she have to make comments about Carolyn and her kids in her cook book then.. because she is a lowlife and needs to step on ppl to get ahead... don't let her fool you or bring you down... standing up for your family is not getting in the middle of anything .... Family Is Family period ....
You tell Theresa that it is wrong to hate people she wanted you to hate, but that is just what Caroline does. Unlike the other posters..I understand why you laid there and "slept". You have been friends with Theresa for many years, you know she has been through more then most people, doenst have a supportive husband, and a family that doesnt understand and see how much she has been hurting. You wanted to be her friend, but Caroline comes across as bossy and controlling and she talks about Theresa all the time to poison others against her because of some of her own stuff she is dealing with. I dont agree with anything Theresa does, its hurtful, but she is getting hit left and right and there is no one that is there being unconditional for her...no one that anyone has seen yet. I get that it would be hard to stand up against Caroline. Especially if you are trying to move on and be a bigger person. Caroline needs to take some of her own advice. She was disgusting these last two seasons. She has become what she has called Theresa. Its sad, but all the mean stuff Theresa does doesnt even compare to someone like Caroline, who is older and mature and should see past the surface and see how much Theresa is suffingering. Caroline seems to be the biggest bully and everytime you try to forgive, forget, and help Theresa, Caroline poisons your mind..she does it to everyone else as well...and it is so obvious that the others feel this, but are afraid to stand up to her. I hope you can continue to try to be there for Theresa!
@BobbijoS How could Teresa's family understand when she walks around with that fake smile plastered on her face saying "every thing is fine!"? Jac didn't start questioning T until she started telling the tabloids something different! To assume that Caroline is poisoning Jacueline's mind is insulting to Jac. You don't think she has a mind of her own? Caroline has already said she was not happy with her character this season! When you feel like a friend is lying to you and taking jabs at you and your family you may react in an immature manner, I know I have! It doesn't mean I'm proud of it! As far as "being there" for Teresa...you can't help someone who doesn't want it! Ever hear the expression "god helps those who help themselves"? Teresa could have gone to her family and friends with her fears instead of the tabloids! She doesn't want help, she wants publicity! I agree that she is hurting, but she pushed everyone away.
It's a shame you've been talking about your issues with Teresa to your family but when it's time to face the enemy, you pick up your fight by playing dead in the battlefield. Caroline may have become nasty in the fight but at least she was fierce and stood her ground.
Please stop letting that crazy loser hurt you!!! You are one of my faves and I hate to see this...you are much better of a person that T will ever hope to be!!!! You can do much better in the friendship department.....She should be hiding her face for what she did in the vineyard...how disrespectful....all the best wishes to you and Chris in your business ventures...(ps..Im a vegas girl too..lol)
Jacqueline, I understand that it's difficult being in the middle of two people but instead of pretending you were sleeping, you should have left the room or at a minimum sat there silently like Melissa and Kathy. I was embarrassed for you everytime the camera showed you pretending nothing was going on. Please get a backbone - yes I realize this was a year ago, so hopefully this period of time has taught you some things about your friend Tre.
@californiafan Jac had spoke her peace earlier in the trip! No one was there but her and T. I think that showed tremendous backbone! She didn't need anyone else to back her, she dealt with the problem alone!
Jacqueline -- may I say that I do applaud you last night for not getting involved. I applaud each of you ladies who say, it's over -- move on -- get over it. Whatever Teresa may or may not have done, it's over.
But I will say this to you, from the outside looking in, it appears that you are mad at Teresa becaues she will not tell you the intricate details of her personal life. Are you kidding me? That is between Teresa and her husband!!!! You actually got mad at her on that back porch because she would not admit whether she was going to jail or not. Come on -- why would you bring her over to pry in her personal, business. A true friend waits for the friend to come to them -- especially with something as sensitive as jail and bankruptcy. Wow -- your definition of friendship really blew my mind. I'm glad my friends are not like that.
About midway through this season I realized that what you need is a job. You have entirely too much time on your hand so you sit around all day trying to get into everybody's else's business and when they don't tell you the intricate details, you get mad. I've never been a huge fan of yours because I have always felt that you had too much time on your hands and meddled too much in the other ladies business but this season really showed me -- you need a job or go volunteer and I mean volunteer 8 hours or more a day. You really need to do something to keep your mind busy. Put your child in school and volunteer at the school or something -- just get some outside activites in your life. As the young people say -- get a life!
@churchladyjrb I sure think that Jac has her hands full now. She is an at home mom and will need to stay very involved on an hourly and daily basis. I do not see this as to much time on her hands. She has spent a hell of a season. With the worry that her and Chris have been through. Does anyone remember the fact that Caroline has watched Jac and Chris going through these worries about her nephew. Do you feel like it could affect that whole family. Maybe the worries that they have had makes Teresa even more sickening. Joe's toast to Caroline was that they are customers of the Brownstone, he never said that they were friends. I wish Chris would have uninvited the two A..holes and explained that the trip was for friends and family. I would have enjoyed watching the trip without ignorant Joe and dumb, fake Teresa. Chris like his wonderful wife are to nice to hangout with who only think of themselves .
@churchladyjrb A TRUE friend doesn't tell you everything is fine and then tell the public (tabloids) all their fears! Tre has it twisted...you turn to your friends and family and put on a mask for the outsiders! Why don't people get that? If I'm struggling I turn to people who love me, I don't walk up to a stranger and ask for help!
Good for you to stay out of Caroline and Kat silly little tricks, stay true to yourself and not be influenced by bully Caroline
Good for you to "sleep" through that drama with Caroline, she was angry that you did not get involved because she wants to get you to go to war with Teresa. I'm glad that you and Teresa made up, just keep your angry sister in law out of your business. Don't worry about you son's diagnosis, he will be fine. There is a lot of help out there for him, rest assured as long as you work with him, he will be fine. I am a teacher and some of my students are diagnosed with autism, they are very smart and once they get the necessary help, they will function well. You are in my prayers.
@valjem Caroline said she felt alone but understood why no one got involved! Never once did she say she was angry with any of the girls except Tre, and rightfully so!
Jacqueline you are such a sweet person! I understand where you were coming from when You asked Teresa about going to jail, you were just being a good friend. And good friends ask each other what is going on and how they are feeling. You have such a big heart, we all need friends like you!!!
Well, you did stay out of the crucifixion of Tre this episode so I am proud of you for that but once again you truly are not as good of a friend to Tre as you have claimed to be. If you really understood her, you would have been ashamed to see the Manzos nail her to the cross for her toast. Obvious to outsiders, yet not to her friends, she made a sincere toast in honor of being able to live together with Joe and Melissa on the road trip in spite of what the counselor said. She was very happy that they made it through what could have been a total disaster. Dang right she should have toasted that! She didn't mean to leave out anyone. I honestly don't believe it even crossed her mind to hurt Kathy even though Kathy had just done a pretty nasty catty thing to her at her book signing. Gah, come on girl get it together. She really does love you in her crazy Italian way. Accept your friend for who she is and let go of the annoying things or tell her when she's bugging you but damn don't tell Caroline your business. She is POISON!
I think your cuddling up and lying on Melissa lap was really mean and childish. Here's a woman you were best friends with for 10 years, and you ended the friendship unexpectedly, then she's attacked verbally by the jacuzzi and has to watch you all cuddled up with a woman you knew hated her and has been sabotaging her on the show for 2 years. The fake sleeping was BS
You have such an off-handed way of slamming people. I'm not sure if your trying to mask being rude or downright mean, or if its your way at being snide...but wow is it ever vicious! Why you want to be teresa's friend, when all you ever do is put her down, i have no idea. YOU are the one who first told her that "as for you and your family, your going to keep your distance"....then you get on your high horse because Teresa is keeping her distance too??? Confusing!! It almost sounds like your just following in what ever caroline is doing and giving your best try at slamming teresa at every turn. I'm fairly new to the show, but not to people and their actions. Its too bad, because you had appeared to have been one of the decent ones at first. :-(
Jacqueline, pretending to sleep? Really?
She was listening to the whole conversation.
Jackie...you have too much going for you to get drawn into Teresa's web again. Don't be such a milque toast - grow a spine and learn to not settle for anything less than the best! You have a great family, and being associated with Teresa just brings you down. She does nothing for you, she is so far beneath you that you need to pull up your boot straps and get on with your life. Only be friends with those that bring positive and uplifting things to your life, that encourage you to be the best you can be. You rock -
Jacqueline, please don't be a Dena. Stand by your family and wake up!!
I have to say I totally agree with how you responded or rather didn't respond with the conversation between Caroline and Teressa. You obviously were trying to do just what you said you were going to do and that is to not get involved. I think you and your family are above being brave for being on the show especially with everything going on with your prescious son. I truly hope that you are able to move past all the negativity that is continuously flowing around you so that you can concentrate on who is most important above all else, Your family Best of wishes to You, Chris and all of your wonderful children. God Bless
Please don't listen to the people who put you down regarding Teresa! She is not a good person or a loyal friend! Keep your head up high & just know that what she does to others will come back on her! You are a good person & there are many people out there that wish they had a friend like you!
That was so low to fake sleeping during that whole conversation between Teresa and Caroline. Melissa and Kathy both stuck by Teresa talking to her as she was packing and then Melissa left with Teresa...and you left Caroline by herself. Caroline has always been there for you and even stood up to Danielle and you completely slap her in the face by faking to sleep so you don't have to get involved. What are you?? Ten years old?? Part of the reason Caroline is mad at Teresa is because of the way Teresa has treated YOU and you leave her to be alone that night when Teresa had all the support she needed. When you're no longer friends with Teresa yet again, Caroline will still be there so it's really sad you chose not to support her. NOT COOL.
You have no backbone. Do you love Teresa that much that you would not stand by Caroline, especially after how she treats you.
I have to say that I have always liked you, but I'm totally confused at how you would put teresa before Caroline. After all the lies that teresa has told you, the back stabbing, come on girl - she has no respect for you or anyone else on that show. All she cares about is herself. I'm disappointed in how you did nothing to save a friendship that is one sided.
I think you were doing the right thing by not getting involved with the argument. I think Caroline seems to be very angry and not a happy person. Its rediculous to be angry with what she is mad for and very immature attitude. It seems she keeps trying to come between you and Theresa the whole time. Also she tries to control everybody on the show. That is no way to show your children not to forgive people, she needs to turn to God with her anger.
I agree with this comment 100%
I hope you see Caroline for who she is. Theresa is not perfect, but she is your friend and she needs you. Theresa trusts you, so stick by her even when things get crazy. That is a true friend! Caroline is a bully.
Jacqueline you are the sweetest person but I wish you would have your sister-in-laws back once in awhile. After everything that happened with Danielle I thought you would have learned that family comes first because they are always there for one another.
I am soooo happy you stayed out of the argument on tonight's show. I think Caroline is toxic. Why does Caroline spend so much energy putting Teresa down? Tonight she said she has never heard one kind word from Teresa, and she can't believe the lengths Teresa will go to hurt. I have never heard one kind word from Caroline about ANYONE. She constantly puts other people down. I have no idea what's up with Caroline and Dina, but Dina seemed like a very together woman and her absence from Carolines life speaks volumes to me. Thank you for not saying hurtful things tonight. I really hope you don't let Caroline poison you against Teresa. It seems like she needs a real friend. She is first generation in this country, as am I, and we do have a different way of looking at things. Especially if Teresa's first language was Italian. Research it, if a person has Enlish as a second language, processing English is very different for us. Her parents are old world Italian, they raised her with those ways from the old country. I was very offended when Caroline said "off the boat mentality". That just goes to show that she isn't very well educated or pc.
Shame on you for not standing by Caroline this week. Pretending to sleep??? Cowardly.
Please get as far away from Teresa as you can. She will poison your life. She is a very calculating individual who plays dumb but is out only for Teresa. You won't need her when Joe is out of the picture at all. She will consume your life and drag you down.
Jacqueline...you really took the high road this evening...."sleeping" through all that....how embarrassing.....Caroline is a BULLY and no one deserves to be treated the way she treated Teresa...good to see you being the kind person you are and no stooping to that kind of behavior.
I loved the way you looked like you were sleeping. I would have done the same thing. It's very smart of you to be neutral since the talk you and Teresa had. Caroline should just quit the show because she seem so unhappy to even be around Teresa anymore.
Caroline should just leave the show. She is clearly unhappy and has a chip on her shoulder No matter what Teresa says Caroline does not believe what she says. How the hell does Caroline know if someone really means what a person says because she NEVER NEVER believes Teresa is sorry!!
Wow... currently watching the newest episode and have lost TOTAL respect for you. Did you not learn your lesson backing Danielle?
Jacqueline, This is a week late but here's a piece of advice. People tell you what they want you to know. If they don't tell you, they don't want you to know. Stop prying! Just because someone is your friend doesn't mean they have to tell you everything. If you value a friendship, you would respect their privacy.
Linda_M Lame! Teresa only cares about herself.
Jackie..please stop the smear campaign against teresa and her family..
I read about your son being diagnosed with autism. I work with pre- school aged children that have autism. We use picture icons in communicating with the children. We do use sign language too.
There is a-lot of info out there. I do recommend watching the video and reading the books by (Temple Grandin). She is on the spectrum and is a successful professer.
I just read a little about you gorgeous son (Nick). He looks just like his dad. I wish all of you the best. I am sure with the love of all his family everything will be fine. I read some of the comments and there are people that are also dealing with a child with Autism. I know you and Chris are aware of organizations and groups dealing with Autism. You and Chris have a platform to help educate others on Autism and try to take them on the journey that your family is going on. Please use your great platform for good not negative gossip and Teresa. You and Chris must remember this show is recorded and in most cases are showing you in a negative way. I would think that the both of you would like to be remembered for something positive instead of negative. Again, it would be a great opportunity to enlighten people on Autism.
God bless you and your family.
