My daughter bought a pair of these trousers for her two year old son a few weeks ago and asked me to buy two more pairs for him because they were such a good fit and just right for an active little boy. They are smart and hard wearing and the adjustable waist means they fit him well.
24/06/2013 09:06:45

NEW!! An instructional Quicktime video is available here
To provide access to, and distribute academic programs originating from Minnesota State University, Mankato to remote learning groups located through out the state of Minnesota.
Interactive Television serves an effective and useful function in the educational delivery system. The term "interactive television" means simply two or more (multi point) links between distant (many miles apart) classrooms. This connection takes place using full motion, real time audio and video communication. The obvious educational advantage of a two-way interactive system is that learners can participate in specialized classed offered from higher education facilities without traveling great distances. Interactive television is a viable means of enhancing the curriculum and providing programming that otherwise wouldn't be available to students and teachers. The potential of Interactive Television is limited only to the imagination and vision of those using it. Digital and fiber optic technology has broken down the barrier of distance in education, and has provided a new educational options and opportunities for learners of all ages. Minnesota has been using interactive television since 1980. The first site was a cluster of schools surrounding Eagle Bend, which were funded by a local grant from the Council on Quality Education. Today, fiber optics/digital has been chosen as the mode of transmission systems simply because of expandability and flexibility. Currently, at least one location at each Minnesota K12 school district has interactive facilities, and all higher education campuses are accessible through interactive television technology. The ability to connect world wide also exists though the use of networked providers.

Baja Xtreme 8 hours - MX - Nov 2005
Laguna Hanson in Baja Mexico, is at some 5000 feet and last year the Baja Xtreme race was held in 45 degree weather. This year the weather did a flip-flop and was more like 70 degrees during the day, but dropping to 40 at night. The course was touted as simple with 70 percent being marked for novices.
With a leisurely 10 AM start, a vote by racers had teams start at 1 minute intervals so that there would be no long wait at the rappel which was about the half way point in the race. The course was bike to CP1, CP2 and the TA. Trek to the rappel then get to CP3, trek to CP4 as you went back to the bike (TA) and bike to CP5 and CP6 before the finish line. I do not have my map to tell you exact distances but the entire route was about 40 K (25 miles).
With 33 teams in the race I put my bike on the starting line before the race meeting as the first section looked like single track and I really did not want to be in the middle of a big pack. After the vote to start at different times I got to be first away. Yahoo, I was leading the race. But the pressure was so great that I fell 4 times in the first mile, and the single track had been used by motorcycles and quad runners so it was very sandy and tough to ride.
There were options to get to CP1; follow the route marked on the map or go backwards from the start and hope to find a shortcut. If it was a mass start I would have tried to sneak the shortcut, but wanting to give nothing away I followed the signs to CP1 just as the second team caught me. The mixed team of Lowrance took the lead to CP2 and never relinquished it the entire race, finishing an hour plus ahead of second place.
From CP1 to CP2 was more of this single track, but now more narrow, less sandy, but lots of up and down and some lung searing breathing. At altitude in the middle of the Baja it is VERY dry, if I breathed too hard it caused a dry cough which most racers had. But in the beautiful pines and rocky peaks we knew we were alive and enjoying the scenery. But enough of that we are in a race !
However, after CP2 I must have been thinking of the beauty and day-dreaming because in a short 15 minutes I was back to the lake. Whoa ! What is the lake doing on my left? I am meant to go around it. Darn, I missed the turn about 3 Km back.
A small bit of local knowledge from last year and I knew I could continue another kilometer, take a sharp turn on a road which crosses the lake (its kind of dry after the summer so this road allows you to cross the middle of the lake), another kilometer and I was back on course only really adding about 1½ KM to my route. But now I had slipped 6-8 places and had teams not just ahead of me but 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes etc.. ahead, due to the staggered start. Oh well, there went my hopes of finishing on the podium. May as well enjoy the rest of the race.
At the bike transition I noticed teams taking their time, so a quick change of shoes, check I had still enough water and I was out of there in 30 seconds gaining a couple of places. There were three (count them folks – 3) marked routes at the TA. Heading west for about 100 meters then turning SW was the route to the rappel, heading SW maybe more accurately SSW was the trail back from CP4 and heading S was the bike trail we should follow after the trek section.
The race was won and lost in a 5-15 second period of time to take a compass bearing and follow the correct set of ribbons. I'm guessing about 3 teams took that compass bearing. I took off along with the Nortrem team and we raced down a wash to the SW. They were running, I was sucking air trying to keep up. But I kept with them for more than 2 KM as my slower pace allowed me to find the ribbons. At a fence there was a flag which I assumed was telling us this was the place to cross, but NO! it was CP4. I had taken the wrong trail from the TA. Darn again !!
The choices were numerous; back to the TA (too far), cross the ridge here as it was possible (too far, and what if when getting to the "correct" trial I overshot it). Cross the ridge down further where it was obvious (still too chancy to miss the correct trail) or Continue to CP3, not check in but go to the rappel, and then come back the same way. Seemed like a plan to me and after yelling at Nortrem they were content to do the same. However, as we neared the rappel area Nortrem asked about taking a shortcut to the rappel and I agreed as a small creek was on the map and we could see it a 100 meters ahead. When we got to it we were very lucky as we could see a worker showing racers the rock scramble up to the rappel. And rock scramble does not describe the climb very well. It was tough !
Then the top of the peak! WOW !!! What a view. The weather was cloudless, the atmosphere dry and you could see a hundred plus kilometers all that way to the Sea of Cortez. I would have stayed longer and taken more in, but remember – this is a race. And the workers yelled congratulations I was the first solo to get to the rappel. Noooo, your joking right? Nope, Lowrance was long gone, Nortrem was second on the ropes and I was third, not another racer in sight. How did that happen? Who cares dude, go, go, go.
The rappel was about 30 meters (100 feet). Straight down, nothing fancy (except that great view). They had a safety belay as well as a brake person on the rappel line. It was fun and fast. Now the adrenaline was pumping – the rappel always does that to me, plus the fact I had somehow gone off course for the second time and lucked into first place solo. But when checking in at CP3 I had somehow lost my passport. They wrote my time on my map and were going to decide what to do later.
The route back to CP4 was fast as I had been there before. It was also fun to come across three other teams who made the same mistake and I was happy to tell them it would still work out OK for them. Back at the transition the race director jokingly asked what he should do about my lost passport (but this is a fun race so no problem). But stupid me had to open my mouth and suggest a 30 minute penalty which he promptly imposed. Hey, I was joking. Seems Antonio wasn't. I had to sit for 30 minutes.
I always tell people "The trail is your friend – follow the trail". My new mantra of the moment became "The penalty is your friend – eat, drink, rest and plan". I was tired, even though we had only been racing 4½ hours. And I was not eating enough so this was a good break. I also had time to think about letting air out of the tires to ride the sand better. I had time to review the map and decided to backtrack out of the TA on roads I knew rather then continue on roads which may have been bumpy, more sandy, and I never knew. It would add 1, maybe 2 KM to my race, but as a couple of teams passed me while I was sitting I decided to take the chance.
When the penalty was up I took of refreshed for 500 meters, then the rush to get ahead and the pumping of the legs on the bike brought me right back into the race, huffing and puffing down the road. But the lower tire pressure was great and the 5 KM on the sand road rushed by. I got back to the lake, and went around it to where the "correct" trail met the road I had chosen. I had made up the ground on the two teams who passed me while I "rested". We all came together and rode about 1 KM to a turnoff to get to CP5. This section was a test of faith for a while, as there was a sign to leave the main road but no markers as you rode over a meadow to a cow trail (a specialty of the Baja Xtreme races) and continued for another few KM to the CP. There were sections where they had stretched caution tape to block our way on off-trails, so myself and one other rider kept going. He got to the CP ahead of me but had to wait for his teammates so I rode down a really rough cow track toward CP6 alone.
While it was downhill I had to walk on a number of occasions as the trail was in trees and bush with rocks and roots, so if the wheels found the trail the trees tried to hit you in the head, or if it was clear at head-height the roots and rocks were a maze to navigate. After a fall where I was appreciative of bike helmets I slowed down till the main road, then jammed to CP6 before a short 1 KM sprint to the finish line.
Second to cross the line, line-honors in solo. Now I just had to wait the next 30 minutes to see who else crossed for the adjusted time due to the staggered start. I was tired but elated and the race was a blast which I think is more important. The course was very tough despite being "marked". It took me 5 hours 20 minutes start to finish. Take out the 30 minute penalty and I was sub 5 hours.
The two teams who passed me at the TA finished soon after (but they had run the no-rappel course and were not in the solo division). It was not till about 40 minutes after that my friends Carlos and Victor finished together, but they were running solo so on corrected time Victor took second place, Carlos third and I had held on to win the solo category.
Congratulations to everyone who enjoyed the race, and there were plenty of smiles at the finish to know all had a great time. Even those who from the TA took the south route all the way to the lake before realizing they were not just of-course but WAY-off course. I was lucky in this race as while I made mistakes many of the other racers made bigger mistakes.
A huge thank you to the entire staff, crew and organization of the Baja Xtreme. For those of you who live and race in Southern California, I think this is a must-do race series for you. It is tough (even when advertised as easy), but the races are very doable. They are true adventure with next to non-existent cow trails and 50K:1 maps as opposed to the fire roads and 24K:1 US maps. If you really want a true fun Adventure Race, this is the place to race.
Muchas gracias familia Rosquillas. I cannot wait till the series next year. Good luck with Baja Travesia, I am sorry I will miss it, but I will be wandering tracks on the other side of the world.

http://scrawlfx.com/2011/01/sony-to-...p-games-on-ngpSony's planning to re-release select titles from their library of PSP games for their Next Generation Portable (NGP), the company's told Gigazine.
Additionally (this was known since last week's event), you'll be able to download PSP games released on the PlayStation Store and play them on your NGP.
The re-releases Sony's mentioned today involve re-distributing the game on NGP's new card format.
As for those who've already built up a library of games on UMD, Sony says that they're currently investigating the possibilities of not having to re-purchase your collection. Though, they have no plans of creating a 'UMD Reader,' of any sort.
http://toucharcade.com/2011/01/31/so...including-ios/"We have a completely open stance. With carriers and with hand set makers," Hirai said according to Andriasang.com. "There are a variety of OSes," he said. "But we're focusing first on Android. There's also Windows, iOS and so forth, but we don't have the resources to make it compatible with everything from the start."
......as long as its not linux?
the android Os is based on a linux kernel, but the only way to run custom firmware is to root the device and install the modified code. the platform is open to developers, but isn't completely open(at least not the versions put in retail phones/pda's) Its based on an open source platform, but the OS itself is maintained by a select few.
you can make any app you want on the platform, but don't expect your OS features to get thrown into the retail version anytime soon.
Kaz Hirai on the NGP (with video)
Well it looks good. The only thing that I am actually excited about is the potential to use this to actually control PS3 games. With a touch screen that incorporates tilt, touch pad on the back, camera, mic, data, imagine the degree of control. It's like move only better.
Although the fill rate is up there with PS3 (some even say slightly higher, don't know), the polygon count is a measly 120-130 M/pps. However, I found some very interesting bits of information that if incorporated into the NGP and the PS3 it could dramatically extend their life cycles and feel like new systems without releasing one. It's called Point Cloud Computing (forgive me if previously discussed). There is a company called Unlimited Detail that is trying to incorporate their tech into the hardware of gfx card makers and what not. But they also say they can and will do it via software if they do not gain any contracts. I think it's safe to assume this will be the norm next gen but possibly sooner.
Useful links:
Demonstrations on NGP:
Questions of the day:
1. Will the cellphone edition of by SONY Ericsson be equally as powerful as the NGP?
2. Will SONY be releasing tablet versions with varying dimensions? Possibly not. Although I'd rather have one of those to be honest. In any case, once other devs catch up with hardware we'll be able to play these games on any device.
3. I wonder if the psp would be able to access the ps3 for increased processing potential and scalability with future games?
Prediction of the day:
PS4 will be a beefy tablet with all the same features as NGP only many times more powerful. Simply connect to tv if you wish and your off. 8Mp cam, 4G, and of course Android.
The realest says:
Will never happen. Not only can you get more muscle into a larger system but you won't be competing against your own products.
I don't think we care.
Anyway, Thx for the read.
Steelio, I think the early days of PS3 tech talk had a lot of chatter about using the PS3 as a cloud-like device. Something like all not in use but networked PS3's will be used to help process game data for those in use networked PS3's. Obviously nothing ever became of that but it sounds like it was the early foundation for what you are linking to.
I'd probably be disappointed if they just ported loads of PS3 games, the potential's there for new games on a new portable, I'd not be very pleased if they left that potential untapped.
I'm excited (for once) about what new games they could design with the dual touch screen, motion sensing & such, I'm looking forward to a game library that compliments the portables features.
Yes sir. That's what I was saying
---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------
Yup. I remember that from a while back. I think I may have misunderstood it though. My understanding was that the PS3 was built with this in mind but having much processing being done by servers and idle ps3's. Still doesn't make sense though. Idle ps3's? There's not enough of them. Affordable speed and bandwidth to sustain this concept does not yet exist.
SCE Cambridge Studio developing Killzone NGP
Hook it up to a TV, use bluetooth to hook up some DS3's or move controllers, and there you go.i think the realist response would be. what happens with local multiplayer? each player has to have their own tablet and copy of the game? in that case i think there will be people who care.
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------
1. No. It is designed to play the "PlayStation Suite" games (PS1, PSN, and PSP1 games), which will be available to all andriod phones, but obviously best played on that one. That's why they put the slide out controls in there. Don't expect NGP, but rather typical smart phone specs out of it.1. Will the cellphone edition of by SONY Ericsson be equally as powerful as the NGP?
2. Will SONY be releasing tablet versions with varying dimensions? Possibly not. Although I'd rather have one of those to be honest. In any case, once other devs catch up with hardware we'll be able to play these games on any device.
3. I wonder if the psp would be able to access the ps3 for increased processing potential and scalability with future games?
2. Probably not to avoid consumer confusion, though that would be cool.
3. I doubt it, considering the data throughput required being far higher than your average wifi or 3G connection can handle. However, FULL remote play of ALL PS3 games is definitely possible. Just map L2 and R2 to the touchpad on the back, and you're good to go. If the game requires analog control using L2/R2 (the triggers are analog sensitive), this could be achieved by sliding your fingers up and down on the touchpad.
So in that sense, NGP IS a portable PS3. Or at least it has the capability to become one.
I'd rather see more of that and less ports, with the NGP only games being designed to take full advantage of it's portable features.
I think the initial release of "PlayStation Suite" content is limited to PlayStation Classics and new content developed for the "PlayStation Suite" which I'd imagine would have to fit a certain hardware specification (especially considering manufacturers seemingly have to meet certain criteria to be certified/branded as "PlayStation Suite" compatible).Originally Posted by frosty

yeah, it's likely to be classics and minis at first. Some small PSN games shouldn't be an issue however, Pixel Junk Monsters games were only 50 or 60 mb IIFC.

"By their Fruits, you will recognize them..."
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-private-eventDuring a presentation to around 20 UK developers at its headquarters in London yesterday, Sony shared a wide range of information about its new handheld platform, revealing significant new details on launch plans, hardware specifications, networking features and more.
One attendee, speaking to Eurogamer this morning under condition of anonymity, said: "NGP is a developer's dream – Sony is finally doing the things developers have been crying out for for years."
Studios had been expecting to collect development kits at the event, but were told "late shipments from Japan" meant SCEE would now be "prioritising". According to the source, for a kit to be delivered before April a studio must supply a "20-page concept document on a game they want to release at launch".
Eurogamer understands that key UK studios have had early kits for almost a year. But the source claimed the new shipment of kits would be "the first to have the final GPU in them".
Sony has not yet dated the system beyond plans to begin rollout worldwide by the end of 2011. But during yesterday's presentation, Sony listed the Wi-Fi only edition of NGP as "2011", while the Wi-Fi plus 3G version was listed as "Holiday Season 2011", implying that the 3G-enabled console would not be available day one.
SCEE did not share any solid information on date or price, only adding that details would be revealed "very soon".
Sony staff demoed a handful of upcoming first-party NGP titles, including Uncharted, Little Deviants and WipEout. The source said the latter was "the WipEout HD PS3 engine running on PS3 with no changes to the art platform. That means full resolution, full 60 frames per second. It looks exactly the same as it does on PS3 – all the shader effects are in there".
The last sentence should be reread... PS3 engine running on PS3 runs like on PS3...
Kept you waiting
It's interesting to see that apparently the programming side of the games could be somehow compatible between PS3 and PSP2, which would benefit both platforms. I guess this is what Sony will do with PS4 as well.
Anyway, how would "ease of development" be possible considering the hardware is so different? Do they mean that they could port games easily, only that they wouldn't really be completely tailored around the hardware? I mean, some games are made so they take full advantage of the hardware, but that would make porting considerably less straightforward.

lololThe last sentence should be reread... PS3 engine running on PS3 runs like on PS3...
"Wipeout PS3 runs like PS3 on PS3"
NAH! Really??!?!
I'm liking the overall message though. The odd thing is, developers overcame the difficulty of PS2 but not many bothered with PS3. I guess because it wasn't the "in" console. But still, making stuff easier for software guys should ALWAYS be near the top of your priorities when building a system and I'm glad Sony is realising this.
PSP2 is sounding better and better but I want to reiterate the importance of what @blackdrgn: said, it's important devs don't fall into the "let's make PS3 like game on PSP2" mentality and create unique appealing stuff that shows the strengths of PSP2. As most of the stuff we heard of so far falls into the "PS3 stuff on PSP2" at the moment (Yakuza, Lost Planet, Wipeout, Uncharted, KZ etc).

Surely making things easier for developers has a lot to do with Ken Kutaragi being out of the business.

Welcome to the Birds of Baltimore. My name is Alan Zlotorzynski and you may know me from Capitals Corner right here on the Fan vs. Fan Network. I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland and grew up a die-hard sports fan cheering for the Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Colts, and the Washington Capitals. Vowing to never watch the NFL again following one fateful night in March of 1984 in which Mayflower moving vans destroyed my youth, I am now a die-hard Baltimore Ravens fan.
My knowledge of the O's and Ravens is second to no one. My historical perspective on the O's and Baltimore Colts, as well as the Ravens, even as they approach their late teens, will have you feeling as if you are sitting in section 34 of the world's largest outdoor insane asylum, better known as Memorial Stadium. I spend an enormous amount of time writing and talking about the purple and orange Birds of Baltimore.
I host a Blog Talk Radio show three days a week starting with the The I-295 Sports Report on Wednesday night. The show is a two-hour Baltimore/Washington sports based talk show with an adult theme (language) that tells it like it is around Balt/Wash Parkway in the world of sports.
That is followed by the Friday Night Football Frenzy and on Ravens game days; it is The Baltimore Ravens Pre-Game Show. Along with my beautiful wife Gina, I also broadcast Baltimore Ravens games on LetMeHearYa.com, as Gina and I are the first husband and wife broadcast team to deliver NFL football.
We deliver a quality broadcast with all of the important stats, and information you get from the talking heads on TV, as well as provide you with the entertainment they cannot. I also broadcast select Orioles games as well. (Letmehearya.com).
You can expect the Birds of Baltimore to deliver top-notch opinions about the Orioles and Ravens as well as game previews and recaps.

If you own a business, one of the most important things that you need to maintain is an open line of communication with your customers. You should have a convenient communication platform that your customers can use to communicate their concerns, suggestions, and comments about your business.
For some businesses, they prefer to communicate with their customers through consumer surveys. They sometimes hire other companies to conduct these surveys for them just to extract whatever information they need from their customers. And while this is a highly effective method, you might want to try a more cost-effective one. This method is very simple, and it requires that you get at least one 800 number.
What are 800 numbers?
An 800 number is a toll free number that allows a customer to get in touch with you for free. If you have an 800 number, you don't have to conduct surveys because you can get feedback directly from your target market. And in effect, you can expand your clientele, increase your sales volume and profit, and then expand your business.
Some tips in choosing 800 numbers provider are as follows.
The right provider should possess qualities that conform to the characteristics of top-rated providers. The provider of your choice must be experienced and it must be reliable. It should have an excellent customer support that you can rely on anytime, especially when there are unexpected events and situations.
There are several providers in your area who are willing to provide you with their services. So to pick the right one, it's best to read reviews and testimonials from clients to know more about the services of the provider of your choice. You can find these reviews on the Internet. So as soon as you get the chance, go online and scour the Internet for these reviews and testimonials.

Yes, I think that this would be very interesting, helpful and useful but I have already asked before to make this with actions in Photoshop and I was told that it was not possible and I do not know how to make this with the command line of FF |
Posted: June 22, 2012 10:14 pm | ||||||
Does ffBatch work in FF3? I have not used it before, but since I have some animation-related stuff to try, I thought it might come in handy. But I can't seem to get it to do anything. Meaning, I get as far as downloading and extracting the zip file and running the command line renderer but get no output.
Is there something I need to know about in the path names? I have checked them a number of times and put any folder names that had special characters (such as spaces) inside quotes. I also created a new blank source image file in case it needed a source image. But I get nothing as a result of the batch, not even an error message. The extent of output I get is (in the Command prompt): "Filter Forge command line renderer, version 3.009. © 2006-2010 Filter Forge Inc. All rights reserved. Professional Edition License Name: ThreeDee Usage FFXCmdRenderer-x86-SSE2.exe [-l log_file_name_prefix] task_file" And then the C:> prompt shows up again. Anyone know what might be the problem? |
Posted: August 1, 2012 1:00 pm | ||||||
Okay, so it WAS a file path name problem. Despite putting any unusual folder names in quotes, I got nothing. Then I made a new folder at the root level without any special characters or spaces in the folder name, put the files there and the batch runs fine! | |||||

I have seen that Sjeiti´s does not support multi image, and also has some other things I do not know why they are this way
The multi image would not be really a great problem, as there is only a few of filters that use this, but the missing setting numbers can be a problem for me, although I think that these setting does not matter if you are NOT going to use this tool for animation and it can take the settings directly from the filter presets setting As I have already told above in another post, I am not interested in making animations, just batch processing of still images. I have put this other thread to show it, I forgot that this thread was already about this, sorry Questions about using Sjeiti´s FF Batch online application |

These blogs are starting to sound a little redundant. I think most of you already know where I'm coming from. I'll save a few things for the reunion.
Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? When Milania called out her dad for having his own room, I cringed. Just know this, I wasn't speaking about Teresa and Joe's relationship in this episode. I was referring to what was said in one of the tabloids. I was only repeating what was written about them. At the time, a lot of these crazy stories keep coming out, and I worried what this was doing to Teresa. She never talked to me about them when they came out, and I never knew which of the stories were coming from her were true or not. I only knew of things in the past that Teresa had confided in me, but some of the recent rumors I did not know. You clearly see me not feeling comfortable responding to those rumors. How they choose to live with each other and what they will tolerate of each other is their own business. I just thank God that I don't have to live with them. LOL!
But I will say this, if you put your business out there in the press, then you should be prepared to answer questions that people may be curious about and ask you, because you've just made it public. To be honest, I used to care what was or wasn't true because I cared so much about her, but now, honestly, I really don't. It doesn't concern me anymore. It's not my problem.
Linda_M: I don't think there was a "one horrible thing" that Teresa did to Jacqueline that she is keeping her mouth shut about. I think that Jac came to believe that Teresa herself was the horrible thing, and she either wanted her to change or didn't want to know her.
I really can't get a firm fix on Caroline; I saw even before the cookbook issue that Teresa was grating on her, and then there was the conversation in which she and her children were talking about how many times we can explain to the people in our real life that even though we are associated with her, we are not like her; if you lay down with sh-- you start to smell comments. I don't think Caroline ever really did care much for Teresa; I think the association was because she was Dina's friend and she accepted her for her sake and also that Teresa made the alliance against Danielle stronger (for her, not Jac). I do suspect that the thing she is most angry about does have something to do with Dina (sorry, I don't necessarily believe Dina for a variety of reasons). The main reason I say that is because the thing throughout the seasons that has remained consistent with Caroline is that anything affecting her family makes her react STRONGLY and her initial reaction was very strong. The other reason I suspect that is part of it is that the one thing Caroline won't do is say anything negative about her family. In fact, the one part of her appearance on this show that I would say is definitely not real is that she covers and spins anything that would put them in a negative light.
Can I ask you something? Having seen how Jacqueline has behaved all the seasons, do you really think she is the type of person to turn on you for no reason other than jealousy or following along? If so, can you tell me why?
Peace, Linda!
Amen, Annie, for whomever that vindication belongs to because as right as each of us thinks we are, only God knows for sure!
I understand your point Annie003; if I someone in my life was a big gossip, I would not tell them anything of importance, either. But I would also not have a friendship with them that "was like family" as that would be hard to maintain any closeness and be the person I spoke to everyday at 8 in the morning. After all, it has been said that it was a one-sided friendship in many ways (which is backed up by Teresa admitting that she felt she had been a bad friend because she had not talked to her at all about Ashley and also that most of the interactions we have seen between the two women over the years have been about Teresa. Do you remember the espisode from season one when Teresa was so angry because she wanted to spend the afternoon talking about Gia and her upcoming modeling career and Danielle interrupted with boyfriend trouble? Do you have anyone in your life that plans the entire conversation for an afternoon in the company of a friend to talk about themselves, unless it is a problem they need to discuss; kinda narcissitic, don't you think? I am sorry, to me, it just does not add up.
Andy said the producers lie at the RHOOC reunion? Regarding what? I don't remember this, and it doesn't make sense, but I will check it out. Did he say that he lies?
Jacqueline, yes the fans are mad, and yes things that are written may sound harsh but what you tried to do and what you had hoped would happen to Teresa and her family is so far beyond "harsh" it's almost tough to even process out here. That's the anger you are hearing.. We all know why you did it, no sense rehashing the same jealous facts. It is what it is, and it was really disturbing to watch. I think your financial crisis in your own home drove you to these actions and I can't believe you and Caroline actually followed through with it. I don't think Teresa will ever be able to erase it from memory. I know I won't. It was mean spirited and I do not belive for a SECOND that ANY OF this has anything to do with Teresa and the rag magazines. After all, it's true that your camp unleashed the story about Teresa writing a book. The viewer is right, it was the excat words that Caroline just spewed out like venom in this last episode (filmed last year) and the story was released last month. WOW, is all I have to say. She does have radar online on speed dial. This is a mess and while Teresa may be sometimes arrogant and full of herself, she had no il will towards you, and you had nothing BUT towards her---all because we embraced her ventures...I think greed and panic drove you to this. Your husband too. I am no longer a fan of either of you.
MomLeader what did jacqueline do?
@MomLeader No loss
Love you Jaquline and your husband Chris. Your marriage is solid And so are the other ladies with the exception of Teresa's it painful to watch her and Joe is dysfunctional all the way
Jaquline please don't beat a dead horse Teresa is not worth it Joe and Teresa are both so negative you and Chris don't need that. You two have a great relationship. Teresa and joe just have dysfunction I hope it changes.
Been there….with "friends" who will use and abuse for the sake of their own convenience. Those are the people you cut from your life and move on, life is too short to deal with that kind of nonsense and its a waste of your time. Teresa doesnt appreciate anything you did, probably doesnt even remember what you did for her. All she can see is what you did "wrong" to her.
Some friend you are suppose to be, Caroline in your ear telling you things about your friend causing friction. I don't tell my friends everything, sometimes there are things between husband and wife. Plus you are always gossiping to her family when she shares anything with you. Sometimes you need to mind your on business and things will fall in place.
Jacqueline I hope you don't fall for Teresa fake friendship. You are way better than her. She is all for show she can never be the friend you would like her to be. She is a hatter and her man is a foul mouth crazy.
It was a shame that you were so into the tabloids and what they were writing. You seem to be mad at your friend Teresa for not confiding in you. You don't realize that she can't. She is going through one of the most difficult times of her life and she has to be strong. You are not strong enough to be there for her. You were going through your own issues and crying all the time. You can see the only time she shows her emotions is with her brother and he's not really there for her like she needs him to be. He's much too selfish right now. What she really could use is a friend who is there for her. Who allows her to express what she wants and can handle. She can't afford to be vulnerable with you right now. She is in survival mode.
Jacqueline, the few people who are now crying "harshness" in your treatment on these blogs are really dilusional and quite frankly questioning our intelligence and sense of fair play. Have them take a look at twitter CONSISTENTLY through this past year to date, and have them take a look at Caroline's ugly rants this week on two television shows. The harshness coming from your camp is epic and groundbreaking on reality shows thus far. It's true that the other HW shows do not have the mean-spirited blogs that this show does, but hate to tell you, they're the same masses watching all of these shows. It's the women on the shows who are different. The other HW shows have normal bickering and drama that goes hand in hand with alpha women on one show. But this NJ show has removed itself from the class of "normal" with your camp's ruthless agenda and maneuvers in removing the "it" girl from the top simply out of your "camp's" ENTIRE BODY CONSUMING JEALOUSY AND GREED. Teresa problem is the jealous wanna-be's are her family and once dear, close friends. The other show's ladies have the luxury of the other women being acquaintances. I think you are getting off easy on these blogs.
Caroline released the "Teresa will sell a book about Joe's impending incarceration" last month to the Rag magazines, and you know it! That story was out last month and it was EVERYWHERE with a source labeled "close family friend." We heard Caroline spit out the exact words as that story that was released last month from HERSELF THIS WEEK on the show when she went off on her "you heard it here first" tyraid that "Teresa is planning to write a book and you heard it here first." Even the verbage was the same in both outlets saying "Teresa will use the strength it takes to sell her story" The story was out last month, in EVERY RAG MAGAZINE, and Caroline filmed that talking heads bit last year! That was shocking and a huge error on your "camps" behalf. How dare you guys have used the tabloids as your anchor to crucify Teresa when YOU guys have been feeding the stories. I knew it would eventually come out--Caroline slipped. Wow, the panic you guys have over BLK and it's failing status is palpable. I imagine the stress you are under is huge seeing that the public just isn't embracing it- HOWEVER, the way you have gone about trying to have it "embraced" is so deploarable, so past the realm of decency, you are going to be hard prseed to find any sympathy. Evern your husband has jumped on the badwagon of trying to discredit The Gudice's in a pitiful attempt to knock out the competition. Not gonna work, and I have news for you. Teresa came about her NYTimes bestsellers with the audience organically. We steered her to the cookbooks. She didn't think of a product, then introduce it on the show and try and destroy any and all in it's "way". Your husband obviously invited Joe Gudice at least a half hour after the others, seemingly enough time to let the cameras catch how much everyone despises Teresa, including her own brother, and when Chris whined about hearing things "around town" after his own wife has told the audience horrific things about The Gudide's on camera, well, I now see why Chris hasn't minded you on twitter rampages 24/7. What a jerk! He's in up to his neck with the same agenda in having Teresa ruined as you. How pitiful. I lost all respect for him, and now could care less what happens to any of your endeavors. I will never support you Lauritas/Manzos and I don't have a single acquaintance who feels differently. My hat's off to Teresa for living through you greedy, Teresa empire wanna-be's, who put a lovely family through HELL so you could try and make bucks to get out of your OWN hole you weren't discussing. Calling you "fair-weathered" friends was so gracious of Teresa, I would have used a much harsher term.
Could you have written anymore?? This is almost as long as the blog-who has time to read all this mess????
@biancala some people care WAY too much about a tv show and people they has never met. Too much time on their hands!
Jacqueline i like you but i think your really influenced by caroline and melissa. Caroline would find fault with mother theresa! Anyway, the thing with danyell had nothing to do with you or your family. She tweeted theresa about Melissa. Everyone has blamed theresa solely fot the situation between the gorgas and guidice. However, finally someone was setting the record straight. How can you not understand why that was important to theresa. Danyell is probably selling stories and info she got straight from melissa. But you all are so far up her butt you cant see the forest for the trees. Joe is so consumed with releasing poison that he cant even consider that his wife might be poison in this situation. Think about it, melissa claim to want to mend fences but she ran back and told kathi and ritchie everything that theresa said when she came over for a play date. Knowing that would continue the conflict. Smdh i just dont see how you all are so fooled by melissa. Theresa's not a saint, but neither is melissa nor joe. Keep an open mind and stop listening to that bitter sister in law of yours!
@lisaeffscott First she was accused of being too influenced by Danielle and NOT her family and now she is too influenced by them? It is possible to agree with others when you have a similar experience with them. It's pretty safe to say that the woman has a mind of her own, especially given the fact that she remained friends with Teresa when Caroline clearly ended her relationship with Teresa.
No blog again this week? What?? Did you run out of mean things to say about Teresa?
Jacqueline: I was surprised and dissappointed in you this week. Your conversation at a business lunch left me speechless. It was something Teresa would've brought up.
Sometimes when I read these blogs I believe I have forund the answer to all that is wrong with our society today- Teresa's fans. Don't get me wrong I don't hate Teresa, I do believe she is in deep denial and extremely self-centered, but one does have to admire her savvy and business sense. That being said, I can't believe that some of these people are watching the same show as I am! Jacqueline, you seem like a very kind person and my heart goes out to you. It is painful to lose a long term friend no matter what. Tabloids and gossip aside, if I had a daughter going through so much, and my best friend never ever asked me how she was doing and what was going on, that alone would tell me that it is time to move on. Teresa never asked and never seem to care. All conversations were centered around her, and that is not a friend. She put herself in the tabloids (hello-dog!?) and then was so offended to be asked about it. It was good publicity for her book, and she did the shoots, so then you can't claim that you have no control. Good luck to you and as for the people who actually spend the time to write such negative things about people they have never met, just realize that they must have such sad angry lives. It really makes me wonder.......
I do appreciate criticsm when due HOWEVER, Theresa or Teresa is a personal noun and the spelling can vary depending on personal choice, so your choice of source material would not address or apply to the spelling of a personal name. I don't really follow Teresa, so was not familiar with the way she spells it, but I will spell it according to her preference.
I would like to give you a little tip, though. Before you worry about someone's misspelling, which technically is not a classic spelling error, I would concentrate on your capitolization and puncutation skills. People are much more likely to take your English advice if you display correct writing skills yourself.
I agree that bloggers are getting angry, but anything you have to "endure" PALES in comparison to what you have tried to make Teresa and her girs "endure." Jacqueline, you have really become unbearable, and now so has your husband. After this last episode, it's very clear that Caroline fed the rag magazines the story about Teresa planning on writing a book when her Joe goes to jail. The talking heads bit where Caroline told us this theory was taped last year, and the articles came out last month. Those articles were EVERYWHERE and it caused Teresa's family great pain! There were numerous articles in the rag magazine and each ONE said the same thing: "Teresa is planning on writing a book, and she's looking forward to it",,,and the source's all say a "close family friend" Caroline just told us the same story in the exact same words, and even finished with "you heard it here first folks" followed with a disgusting wink. So you guys have just crucified Teresa for the rag magazines, and NOW here's proof that your "team" fed them last month. Wow. AGAIN, the talking heads bit Caroline just did telling us Teresa will write a BOOK was filmed last year, and the articles came out last month! Get it? BIG ERROR on your team. Now your husband is setting up the Guidice's too. All because BLK isn't working and he's in a PANIC. We could have been with you and helped, but seeing the path you guys are taking to get "yours" you have lost all empathy with me. How ruthless of you guys. My friends and I watch he show together. We watch to see what (who we call "The Jealous Monsters") will do next. Now your husband has joined with you, using the cameras. Chris invited Joe Guidice over for the "meeting" at least 30 minutes after the rest of the guys and set him up. I almost fell of my chair when Chris said he heard things about town that the Gudice's were saying about your personal woes. IS HE KIDDING ME? His wife, (YOU) told the nation last week exactly how much The Guidice's owed and you reiterated rumors about Teresa's marriage being in trouble TO THE CAMERAS, not even "around town" And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what you have done. Your husband has joined you women in attacking Teresa in the hopes it will help BLK. That was a crucial mistake, and it was merciless and disgusting. It backfired and I'm sorry, but your husband is a jerk! He's nothing like he pretends to be. He likes to appear as the sane one, but NOW we see why he lets you live on twitter 24/7 writing horrible things---it's because he also needs The Guidice's to fail and he's in a panic and has joined the last ditch efforet to hurt Teresa in hopes it will help you all and BLK. . Not gona happen . We see through you all. It couldn't be clearer! I mean come on!---what a mean spirited, ruthless family when your business is threatened. Good luck with that...Uhg..
RHWvwr, You and I see Teresa all together different. I see Jacqueline as the compassionate and friendly one and Teresa as the phoney liar. We never one time saw Teresa cry a tear. But Jacqueline almost had a breakdown. I'm sorry I do not believe a single word Teresa says.
@rockNrollBravo @RHWvwr
yeah, how about the articles where caro was the source. it s okay though because it was her.
i can' agree more with you on things. i dont know how u were even friends with teresa, she talks about everyone and stabs then in the back and nice to there face , she is so jelious of her brother and melissa is sick , she need to back off, she hides what her man dose ,. but u were a awesome friend and you got fed up with her web of lies and i cant blame you .. :) and you look great btw i see the weight loss good luck with your family and just do u now . and theow out the trash.....
Jacqueline, there was an episode in season 2, I believe, where you were discussing Danielle with some life coach, you were in your car, saying yeah, yeah, and you were playing a game on your phone the whole time, it was hilarious. I thought you were so cute then, but now, you're just sad. That whole scene on the deck - I know it was edited, but it made zero sense. I think you were forced to do that by someone, and you really regret it. That's why you kept talking in circles, and I still don't understand why you were so angry. You believe the mags, you don't believe the mags. Then you tell her you don't want to be friends, and at Melissa's party you say you don't understand why she doesn't want to be friends.
Teresa shares with you, she was always talking to you about her brother. She doesn't need to discuss money with you or any other friend. I don't talk about personal finances with my friends. I'm total old school, and my parents are not Italian but European immigrants nonetheless. My dad always taught me, you never discuss money with friends. And you know what they say, the number cause of fights in marriage, friendships...most relationships...is money. I think that is the problem. I sort of believe you still want to be Teresa's friend, but wow, too much Twitter etc. now. I can honestly say I don't know what Teresa has done to you personally. I think it all boils down to you all can't stand the money Teresa is making from the show and you all are not. How truly sad. If my friend made a killing and I was broke I would still be genuinely happy. Ten years of friendship for this. :(
I feel really bad for you, your a very nice lady on TV but I can't get past what you did to a friend. Yes, she has problems whether financial or her marriage or her book or comments.etc..what I don't understand is why your so angry that she didn't want to confide her most personal intimate details with you or anyone else???When she is ready, she would talk and if you care enough about her then you just wait and move on. It's like your hooked on digging out the lies...maybe there are some of those but unless they affect you, who cares???You also blamed Teresa for bring "up" Danielle...she didn't, that was MELISSA who admitted it at her party that "she was hormonal when SHE CALLED DANIELLE"...why would you throw your friend under the bus when someone else clearly started that firestorm??I watched an episode where you were questioning whether she was building an apartment or not???who cares...your not going to live there if she did. Her brother has his own demons and his wife is worse..she is sneaky...NOT GOOD! I really hope you go out and get your friend back and stop listening to Caroline...my god she is so angry at the world yet she yelled at Danielle for being a trouble maker!!!What do we call her??Bigger Troublemaker???listen to your own voice
I cannot believe that you ordered a screaming O drink at a business lunch and then proceeded to talk about bedazzled vajajas. I was humiliated for poor Lauren. How inappropriate. I have lost a lot of respect for you this season by your questionable actions.
So many times people keep going over and over this-about putting so much faith in the press-yet Teresa admidts that she gets paid for the stuff she says to the trashy magazines like In Touch-Star-whatever-she even said they brought puppies to her home for the pictures (even though she is scared of dogs??) THAT is why her friends & family are asking about those articles!! Cause if she is getting paid & posing for pictures Im pretty sure they are getting the information from her----right??? Or they are just taking her picture-paying her for it (which she has admitted on air) and then they are making up the stories???? right????
@Annie003 Whats wrong? I am trying to be like Teresa-right? right???
What I wrote was totally accurate-from her mouth-she gets paid to do these articles!! Soooo whats wrong-right????
biancala A puppy is alot smaller than a dog!! Jacqueline has Santino; a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a small dog. So when Teresa went there, I doubt Santino is as scary as a Doberman. I have a Doberman and a Papillon but yet I am petrified of small, barky yappy dogs bc I know many chuhuahuas (spelling?) are biters and are nasty.
What are you talking about??? I am not talking about the dogs at all!! Out of all that you got being scared about the dogs???? If you are scared-be scared- I am saying! simply this! Teresa said that the magazine brought puppies to her home-took pictures of her and her kids with these puppies-then they print all these "quotes" that are suppose to be from Teresa-pay her (just for the pictures???) and then print "quotes" from Teresa that she says she never said!! Come on-they got it from her!!! Had to have been!! They did not pay her just for the pictures!!! Be real! Sorry about your dog issues!
then bethany puts out negative stories about herself, her child, her inlaws and her husband. right? right???? caroline proved in the most recent episode that SHE was behnd the tabloid stories. now what!
biancala She said she gets paid for PHOTOS. You actually pose for photos and the magazine keeps them on file for future articles that may come out and for any current ones.
Many stars have sued and won because these mags twist words. They can be unscrupulous which is why educated people would never trust them for news.
She said she is getting paid for PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! EXACTLY! So they pay her to take a couple of pictures & she doesnt give them a thing to print??? Come on-seriously?? If they are paying her for pictures-then saying that SHE said all these nasty things about everyone-dont you think she would be angry that she was misquoted and STOP getting paid for pictures?
Seriously, I am pretty much done watching, this show is turning into an infomercial. So tired of them trying to hock crap all the time. Get a clue Bravo....it is getting really OLD!
Wow!! People are very mean to you and I am so sorry that you have to endure this and I am sure this is not what you signed up for originally. For people to continually put down your family's business ventures is so offensive. If you don't want to buy it then don't buy it, but the housewives franchise is a platform for any and all of the housewives to promote any products that they feel they want to. It gives these women opportunities they would never have before and it allows them to create products and brands that help their families as well as themselves survive. Just because Teresa hopped on that bandwagon right when the show took off doesn't mean that the other ladies should be penalized when they want to continue or begin a new business venture and it is terrible that people can sit behind a computer screen and be so cruel about a product they have probably never even tried. Teresa copied and pasted recipes into a book and added some cute family stories and now thinks she is next Food Network star and Pulitzer Prize winner. She only received the success she has because of her platform on the housewives just like any of the other housewives who have endorsed or promoted products. She just seems to care about her fame and financial gain A LOT more than any of the other housewives, in my opinion.
Jacqueline, I have been in your situation before. Someone you have known for years (in my case almost all my life) slowly changes and it takes you some time to realize it. Ending a friendship with someone is like breaking up with a true love or dealing with a death. You go through grief stages where you are happy the friendship is over one minute, sad that the friendship is over the next, angry at yourself because you think you didn't do enough or you did too much, angry at them because they didn't do enough or they didn't seem to care that the friendship was over or that you were trying. Ending friendships bring on a lot of emotions and having these emotions highlighted on a reality television show shows all the different emotions that you are feeling. So maybe there are things that you have said that you shouldn't have but I truly believe it is because you are so hurt that your friendship with Teresa is over and that she seems as if she doesn't care at all. I am so sorry you are going through this and with Ashlee at that time, I am sure it was the last thing that you needed. I think that your personality is similar to mine as I wear my heart on my sleeve too and care way too much about others than I care about myself. In the end, this happened for a reason and it will teach you so much about yourself and others.
Honestly, I have watched since the beginning and I have seen you change...for the better. You have become a stronger person who speaks up and vocalizes your opinion in a polite and caring way. You have shown how much you value your relationships with friends and family and how you really try the best that you can to make everyone happy even if you aren't. You have shown to be a good, loving, caring mother who has done the best job that she can with all of her children. Teresa on the other hand has changed to since the beginning of the show...unfortunately for the worst. Season 1 Teresa was funny, over the top and seemed sweet and was fun to watch. Now she just seems cold hearted and honestly she seems really sad. I feel like she puts a smile on even though she really is unhappy and keeps saying that everything is perfect when it isn't. I have seen her play victim and twist stories around to benefit her and hurt others. And she never takes responsibility for her own actions. She can not say it is because her family joined the show because I have seen her change gradually since Season 1 and before her family joined. I really hope that people begin to open their eyes to Teresa and see that she is to blame for some of this and that she is not perfect. I really respect you sharing your life with the nation and being scrutinized the way you and your family has been over the past few years and especially this year.
Could you make this a little longer next time? Thanks
It's one thing to talk about a business venture...it's another to constantly harrass, bully, lie, deceive & beat up on someone else to get there....which is EXACTLY what these women & husbandwives have done to Teresa. I was a fan of Caroline & Jacqueline since the beginning, but what they have turned in to, literally makes me sick to my stomach.
j1217 Well said! And very, very true!!! Anytime someone posts something in support of anyone other that Teresa, there are nasty, baseless and rambling comments from the Teresa fans.
Keep your head high Jaqueline. You are a good friend and a very nice person from what is portrayed on the show. You unfortunately make the biggest mistake when dealing with people like Teresa in that you give your heart to those that do not have one. Leave the show for your own sanity ( although I love watching you and your ever patient way in dealing with your daughter ) and leave these bunch of crazy women to their train wrecks of lives. You have an amazing husband and a lovely family. Go, enjoy, don't let the bit#@s get you down ;-)
I doubt this will get posted because it's anti-Guidice. Come on BRAVO. When the guys were talking about the trip, Joe said, "I don't give a sh-- who gets upset". Well, it's not your party, stay the hell home. He's got some set of balls. Joe & Teresa are the same person ... delusional ego-maniacs.
gracielibra I hate to break the news to you -- Bravo made them all go on the road trip. They tried their best to run Teresa and her family over with the RV -- but Bravo wouldn't let them -- because there is no show without her. That is why they were so "gracious" with their invitation.
Where was it said the Bravo made them go? If I am remembering correctly, Kelly said that Bravo made her go on the trip to "Scary Island", and Andy corrected her and then said on WWHL that Bravo does not make any of them participate in anything. I tend to believe that he was telling the truth because if they made people do things, I would think they would have made Jac attend the reunion, and not only did they not do that, they let her remain on the show.
Andy also said at RHOOC producers lie.
gracielibra I'm SURE they're contacted to go by Bravo... only makes sense
gracielibra I guess you don't understand these shows. But Bravo pays for the trips and plans the trips. They just assign a housewive to pretend to host it each season. They all have to go unless they have some serious reason, like Kim just having her baby on RHOA. They also get paid for the episode so thats the business. Teresa and Joe have to go simple.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
A difficult review to write, given the recent passing of Ray Bradbury and my childhood devotion to his works. I have always had Fahrenheit 451 on my shelf, always unread. I have a few unread Bradbury books on my shelf, as I have always wanted some to discover for the first time (as a child, one of my first understood implications of mortality was that my favourite writers would one day not be there to offer new books for me - a selfish notion, perhaps, but children are selfish creatures).
So, Fahrenheit 451 - Bradbury's masterpiece, by most accounts - a short book I thought I would devour in one sitting, and a book it took me some days to finish. I approached this book as an adult, and my adult opinion is that Bradbury's greatest strength was that he never grew up, he always saw and described our world through the eyes of a child - and Fahrenheit 451 is a book of far more weighty themes.
I found two difficulties with this novel: the first is that it's written in the beautiful and lyrical prose of Ray Bradbury, yet seen through the eyes of a protagonist who has never read a book. Where does Montag, our viewpoint character, get the tools to describe his world so poetically, in a world where books are banned and burned? Secondly, the novel is no such thing - it is (and I never knew this until I finished it, though I could tell the pacing and plotting was somehow 'off') a fix-up of separate short stories, melded together into a novel; for me, this doesn't work. The plot lurches from one section to the other, and some character traits and motivations are wobbly and inconsistent as a result. There are other, more minor, faults - the fact that Montag meets exactly the right people in the right order at the right time to service the plot is probably old-fashioned melodrama by the time of the 1950s, and the nuclear finale seems rushed and unconvincing.
That's not to say this is a bad book. It's probably best read at a younger age, where its naivete is diminished (I shall be handing my copy down to my daughter), and it doesn't travel as well into adulthood as almost any other of Bradbury's wonderful works. His prescience of the modern world - the public devotion and identification with soap opera and reality TV, and the insular world of the iPod - is scarily accurate, and the main theme of book suppression and burning seems less science fiction today than it might have done when the book was published. And, if nothing else, this is a book of wonderful and beautiful prose by the master of the style. Ray Bradbury wrote like no one else, and he did it for a lifetime. If nothing else, there's that.

HIV treatment in the UK is leading to a significant reduction in the number of Aids-related deaths.
This is the opinion of Catherine Murphy, head of public affairs for the Terrence Higgins Trust, who said that the drugs are most effective if a patient is diagnosed in the early stages of the disease.
She believes that many individuals still have a problem with having a HIV blood test and that is causing lives to be lost.
"A quarter of people who die with Aids-related illnesses in the UK could have been avoided if they had been diagnosed earlier," Ms Murphy added.
She explained that HIV testing must overcome this social stigma and people need to become more familiar with the process.
According to the National Aids Trust, in 2010 there were an estimated 91,500 individuals in the UK who were living with the condition, with more than 22,000 of these being undiagnosed.
