The Instagram model who portrayed First Lady Melania Trump as a stripper in T.I.'s music video is reaching out to the rapper for help after receiving a credible death threat.
Melanie Marden claims she spent the night in a police precinct after receiving a death threat from a "hired assassin".
"I got a text message on my cell phone, which is unlisted and [is] not handed out very easily, and it basically said, 'Follow my instructions or you'll be assassinated within the next 24 hours,'" Marden told Page Six.
She said she spent the night at a Los Angeles police precinct after receiving the text message.
"I'm going to seek some professional guidance on this," she said. "My team is involved."
Marden says she reached out to someone in T.I.'s camp, who told her the rap mogul is away in Africa.
"I think T.I.'s left and is in Africa," she said, adding that she isn't sure he is aware that her life is in danger after appearing in his 1-minute music video clip.
"I'm not sure if he's fully aware of the scope of things. He was lovely to work with, was very considerate of my feelings on set."
MArden said she is strong enough to withstand bullying online. "Bullying and attacking people online is one thing, and I'm glad that I can handle all of it," she said. "However, death threats and assassins are a whole different level."

"new and more complex era of hybrid threats" in which potential U.S. adversaries might combine high-tech and low-tech tools to mount a surprise attack. And to make his point, he drew on a history lesson: German plans during World War II to develop a longer-range version of the A4 ballistic missile, better known as the V-2 rocket. "Had the war lasted longer," Lynn said, "The Wehrmacht may have been able to hit New York."Farley in his own post on the subject quickly disposes of the fantasy that the oddity that was Project Laffarenz:
"In the end, the Germans could have killed some Americans at huge risk and at huge expense. A standard Type VII boat using its 88mm deck gun could probably have done as well if the Germans had ever thought it useful to risk a submarine in order to kill a few Americans unlucky enough to have the wrong beachfront property. Now, it sucks when Americans get killed, but the actual operation would have had NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on the US war effort."Farley's political point is well worth emphasizing given the recent confusion between our political enemies' intentions and their capabilities.The is no doubt that there are people, and organizations, that would LIKE to inflict harm on the U.S. mainland. The capability of these groups and individuals, however, is something entirely different, and its well worth reminding those who are making political bank off stirring the paranoia of the American public about scary booga-booga Islamofascist plots that making your defense plans not on what your enemies can do but what they SAY they can do is completely insane.

How the Patriots Went Full Anti-Patriots on 10 Occasions in the First Half
Many people are wondering what in the world happened with Bill Belichick and Malcolm Butler after the cornerback did not play a single defensive snap in the Patriots' super bowl loss. It seemed that Bill Belichick, the man that always puts his team in the best position to win, did the most anti-Belichick, anti-Patriots move ever; purposely subverting his team's own chances (for a reason that might forever be unknown). However, anybody that has followed the Patriots under Belichick is more than aware this is standard operating procedure for the head coach. He has done stuff like this multiple times, most notably benching Wes Welker for the first series of a playoff game (that the Patriots went on to lose) against the Jets. However, while the benching was pure Belichick (and I am inclined to believe the missed curfew rumor for the reason), it kicked off a Super Bowl, and in particular, a first half, where almost everything we saw was complete anti-Patriots. The Patriots are known for being the smartest, most prepared, and best-coached team on the field. The first half was the antithesis of that. Here are the 10 most anti-Patriots plays of the first half (in order that they happened).
1st Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Kickoff
From the get-go, there should have been a warning signal going off in Patriots fans heads that this was going to be another one of those super bowls. Stephen Gostkowski, Probably the best kicker in the NFL at the plop shot to the 1-yard line, hits a knuckling line drive right to the goal line. Eagles return it to the 26, but the Patriots miss two tackles on the return on what was probably the ugliest looking kick of the season (the ensuing kickoff was perfect, but literally kicking off the game with your worst performance of the season is not a good harbinger).
2nd Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: LaGarrette Blount's First Big Run
Eagles Ball. 3-3 score, 3:30 to go in the first quarter on 2nd and 3. Devin McCourty (who will, unfortunately, show up a decent amount on this list) chooses the wrong hole to attack and ends up being entirely useless on the play (with the option run it looks like his assignment was Foles, but this is still some bad recognition on the run).
Malcolm Brown does a good job of eating up his lineman, but Blount runs through the tackle and bounces it outside…
Where Patrick Chung (another defensive back who was roasted this game) blows contain and lets Blount pick up massive yardage to the outside.
You have three of the Patriots better players against the run… combining forces to blow almost every conceivable assignment. That is a rarity… but not during this Super Bowl (the next play was the Alshon Jeffery touchdown–Buckle up Pats fans).
3rd Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Brandin Cooks Goes Semi-Stupid on Jet Sweep
Patriots now down 9-3, first play of the 2nd quarter. After the Eagles save a touchdown by applying just enough pressure to make Brady hit Danny Amendola late instead of in stride, the Patriots are in business at the nine-yard line, facing a 3rd and 1 and a half. Brandon Bolden in the game at running back, which should immediately tell you something funky is happening and the play call is a pretty decent one; Jet Sweep to Brandin Cooks. However, the execution from the wideout is less than stellar.
Cooks gets around the defensive end and has literally ten yards of upfield open space to maneuver and about 20 lateral yards with just one man to beat.
Instead of using ANY of the open field aand utilizing the fact he is one of the fastest players on the field, he tries to hurdle. The amount of stupidity that goes into making that decision is hard to fathom. Hurdling is usually done by a bigger player when he thinks the defender will go low so as to not get trucked. Cooks is a great wide receiver, but running over players is not something he is known for. Worse, hurdling slows you down. It was almost as if he had so many options he panicked and chose the worst (and not for the last time on the night). Instead of an almost assured first down and more than likely touchdown (great upfield blocking), it becomes 4th and half-a-yard. Patriots opt for the field goal…
4th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Patriots Botched Field Goal
And miss it. After the Eagles missed the extra point it made the score 9-3. That probably helped the Eagles out in this scenario. More times than not, Belichick is going to go for it with a half-yard to go, down seven that is an easier decision to make. However, down six, a field goal here and it is a one field goal game. That compels Belichick to send out the kicking unit. Joe Cardona's snap is a little low and into the body of punter and holder Ryan Allen, he misses the snap, somehow gets the ball down, but Gostkowski (not exactly a stud in the Super Bowls) is all out of rhythm and hooks a spinner that almost slices back in. Off the upright. To make matters worse, the gain by Cooks was the worst of all scenarios; if Cooks gains no yardage on his stupid hurdle, that ball is going to clear the upright and sneak in for the three points… That hurdle… so… so stupid… and cost the Pats three, if not seven, points.
5th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Brandin Cooks Goes Full Stupid
After the Patriots force a three-and-out after the missed field goal (on back-to-back pressures by Trey Flowers and James Harrison, as well as a great coverage job by McCourty on Zach Ertz), the Patriots begin their drive at their own 37 and dial up a great first play. Counter play-action deep out to Cooks. Brady drills Cooks while getting drilled (his throw was otherwordly good). Cooks catches it at the 40 and immediately spins away from the defender (no problem there because his route was taking him in that direction).
He then retreats a full four yards. Never go backward, especially in the Super Bowl. However, he has five-and-a-half yards of separation now.
Use your speed. Turn upfield and one broken tackle might be a touchdown. Nope. Instead, one lateral move, head definitely not on a swivel, and Mr. Cooks' night is over.
These are just not smart plays. The Patriots are usually the smartest team on the field and never make mistakes. Cooks touched the ball twice on back-to-back plays from scrimmage and made two mistakes. That is about as anti-Patriots as a player gets at any point of the season.
6th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Patriots Get Tricky with Tom
Your quarterback has an iffy hand that is more than likely sutured and glued shut. Call a pass play TO HIM on 3rd and 5 from the 35 down 9-3. Instead of putting the ball in the hands of the greatest quarterback ever (and having him THROW IT AS OPPOSED TO CATCH IT), you let Danny Amendola throw it to Brady. While the play was almost perfectly executed, it is still a stupid play call. Yes, Brady is open. Yes, it should have been a catch and a first down, but this is still not smart.
What is the best you could hope for in that scenario? A chunk play, but not a touchdown right? There is NO WAY Brady with his speed could be expected to gallop all the way to the end zone even if he makes that catch right? So you are dialing up a trick play, in the second quarter, down six, from the 35-yard line… to convert five yards?
Amendola probably should have waited and just lobbed to ensure the first down. He does not need to lead Brady at all in that scenario because even if Brady makes the catch with tons of yardage ahead of him, do you think he is going to try to juke a man and take it to the house? That is why it is a stupid call. If you let your quarterback do the quarterbacking, he knows this. But instead, it is Amendola who throws a wrong foot spiral that glances off of Brady's hands (again, it was well executed and a damn good throw, but the play call, to begin with, is the issue). Making matters worse is that the Patriots then went for it on 4th and ran a fade to Gronk that fell incomplete. If you know you are going for it on 4th, why not run it on 3rd and then come back to the trick play that you feel so confident in? Just an odd time for that call.
7th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: LaGarrette Blount's Second Big Run
While the Patriots kept making mistakes, the Eagles settled in. On 1st and 10 from the 21 of the Patriots, the Eagles go off-tackle left to Blount.
James Harrison tries to blow up the edge and gets a yard upfield forcing Blount to jab to the left an extra step, but Harrison ends up getting sucked in, and worse, takes out Trey Flowers on the play.
Then Patrick Chung (who had been playing hurt for almost the entire year and had one of the worst games of the season after another stellar campaign) gets owned by Brent Celek, setting up the alley
and once Blount starts rumbling, there is almost no stopping him. Especially if Elandon Roberts blows his inside-out force. Eagles go for two like idiots and run a fade, even dumber, and Rowe continues his up-and-down game by defending the pass to Jeffery quite well.
8th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Great, Bad, Stupid Screens
Josh McDaniels dials up a screen on the first play of the next drive. It is a wonderful screen. Rex Burkhead is wide open, all the linemen have hat on hat. Burkhead gallops all the way to the Eagles 29-yard line before he is tackled from behind. Burkhead, battling a knee injury the last two months, cannot access another gear. A healthy Burkhead probably pulls away for the touchdown, instead, 1st and 10 for the Pats at the 29. Not bad.
However, McDaniels goes back to being cute. 1st down play is fine. Incompletion because the Eagles hurry Brady. McDaniels, more than likely trying to slow down the pass rush, goes wide receiver screen to Amendola for two yards. Your lineman just ran 50 yards downfield less than a minute ago, and now you want them to sprint out again. Ok, it kind of makes sense because of the Eagles pass rush, but probably best to let them rest just a bit, instead, more sprinting and the lineman did look kind of gassed. Only Nate Solder made a good block.
Now it is 3rd down and 8. AND HE CALLS HIS THIRD SCREEN IN FOUR PLAYS. This time trying to suck in Kyle Long. The guy that spent all of last season practicing every day against Brady and the offense. Your receivers have been getting open all game long. You got great field position thanks to the first screen, but then you call two more screens in the next three plays, with tired linemen, the third against a guy who might know the offense better than any other defender on the Eagles.
The old saying is he went too many times to the well. Well, the well was full of water on screen one, was empty on screen two, and came up with sand on the third one. McDaniels is a great offensive coordinator, the Patriots have been unbelievably lucky to have him (twice), but he has this tendency to get unbelievably cute when there is no reason for it, more so early in games. Worse, he tends to do it in the biggest games, and almost exclusively in the first half. It is almost as if he is as nervous as the players at the beginning of games (and the video of him fidgeting before the National Anthem might prove that point) and then he calms down and turns into a cyborg with his play-calling in the second half. It is maddening specifically because he is that good.
9th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Jay Ajayi's Big Run
After Gostkowski hit a field goal to make it 15-6, the Patriots defense needs to stop a 3rd and 4 from the Eagles 31 yard-line. The Eagles hand if off to Ajayi… and he bludgeons them. The Patriots appear to have Ajayi bottled up, but he explodes through the hole.
McCourty is once again extremely tentative. There is nowhere for Ajayi to go. Harrison is trying to crash down the line, but McCourty does almost literally nothing except dive slow and late and take out a Patriot lineman.
If you want to know where the Patriots REALLY got burnt with the absence of Butler, it was in missing the cornerback's tackling. McCourty was playing a hybrid strong-safety linebacker role in the Super Bowl and put together one of his worst tackling games ever. (This run does not actually come back to hurt the Patriots as the drive ends with the Duron Harmon's tip-drill interception, but it is emblematic of the Patriots just having an Anti-Patriots day from some of the guys that are the most Patriot players on the roster).
10th Anti-Patriots Play of the Day: Jordan Richards Gambles and Loses
After the Patriots do the most Patriot thing of the game thus far (turn the interception into a touchdown and have Gostkowski miss the extra point–what is it with him and extra points in big games?) they force the Eagles into a 3rd and three from their own 36 yard-line with 1:46 to go in the half. The Patriots normally OWN the final two minutes.
Jordan Richards has Corey Clement in man. The running back for the Eagles is set up to the right of Nick Foles. For some reason, Richards presses to engage Clement behind the line of scrimmage.
If this is a swing pass (the read from Richards), he wants to stop him dead behind the line of scrimmage. But the only way this works is if the four-man rush gets to Foles fast enough to force the quick throw to the checkdown. To press in that scenario usually means two things: (1) the Patriots are blitzing (they were not) and (2) a pick play is coming (it was not).
Moreover, only bad things can happen if you press and get beat. If you avoid the wash and the Eagles convert the first down, it is at most a five-yard gain for the Eagles. Instead of a five-yard gain and forcing the Eagles to execute a two-minute drill, it turns into a 60+ yarder and the Eagles can take their time, which is exactly what happens.
The Eagles then punch the Patriots heart by converting the 4th and goal with their own version of the quarterback throwback pass, this one making more sense because it only requires Foles to catch the pass and do nothing else.
The Patriots did so many things wrong in this game, and in particular the first half. Yet, they still were down by five with the ball and a chance to win the game. That is the greatness of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. You have to play an almost perfect game to beat them, and you have to hope the Patriots play uncharacteristically bad. The Eagles got that from the Patriots. But while the Patriots most certainly did not play their greatest game, the Eagles forced them into many of the mistakes and deserved to beat the Patriots for bringing their A-Game while the Patriots did not make the grade.

Cherry Blossoms
Whenever I see the cherry tree blooming in front of the house where I live I know that we are now in the middle of spring. And I run and grab my camera and take photos, because I know that all too soon the blossoms will be lying down on the earth. It is the same with the lilacs – I've already noticed the first signs of lilacs blossoms, and I hope I will be there to take photos of them, too.
Spring is one of the seasons I love; I love the fresh green, the blooming trees, the explosion of nature. People are now sitting in front of the numerous little cafes Berlin has got, enjoying their cups of coffee, their cappuccinos and lattes. The atmosphere seems to be full of happiness – something the French call joie de vivre – the joy of living.

I am super excited to tell you I have opened an Etsy Shop!!
Every year I make a birthday banner for my kids and this year I started making some for friends and neighbors. When a friend suggested I sell them on Etsy I decided to go for it. I love making banners and other paper signs, now I could do more than just a few a year. And since I got a Silhouette for Christmas I am always looking for ways to use it.
So I wanted to share some of my creations with you in case you are looking for birthday banners or photography props.
I made a SISTERS banner that would work great in a shared girls bedroom or for a prop for a photo. I also have it in purple and could do any color you wanted.
Here is a heart birthday banner I made for my daughters birthday. I could easily add any name.
My latest banners are this elephant and owl birthday banners. They turned out so cute and could be customized with your child's name.
One of my favorites is this rainbow happy birthday banner. It is smaller so your child could hold it up for a picture. My 7 year old can easily hold it on her own.
Here is a Thank You banner great for a wedding or shower picture to send off to guests. It could also be customized to your color theme.
Stop by and check out the shop to see even more choices!
I would love to make a banner for you.
Thanks and have an awesome day!

Well today I finally got to do a cardio workout (yay!). 20 min on the elliptical plus a core workout/PT exercises. It was a reminder how quickly you can lose cardiac endurance but I made it through. It was perfect after a SUPER frustrating morning trying to get my MRI and x-rays done. It's so nice to have a friend in the area (another Marine spouse) at the same gym; girl time plus a workout– can't beat it.
After trying brussel sprouts a grand total of twice in my life I've decided to try and make some tonight so I will keep you all posted on how it turns out. I'm thinking garlic and honey roasted but haven't decided yet.
Have you been trying any new foods lately? OR do you have a favorite brussel sprout recipe?

"But honey," Mother said, "I always have a White Elephant party on the first Saturday of December. It's going to be in the lobby of the Inn. Everyone comes, of course. Your sisters will be there. Even hotel guests can come, if they wish."
"But honey," Mother said, "I always have a White Elephant party on the first Saturday of December. It's going to be in the lobby of the Inn. Everyone comes, of course. Your sisters will be there. Even hotel guests can come, if they wish."
Years of therapy had taught Jill that her first impulse to snap back that it was so good of Mother to give the guests a choice was probably not the the correct response. She sat back from the table covered with tax returns and receipts and various papers she'd been trying to sort out, and let out her breath in a controlled fashion that could not be called a sigh.
"I'd hoped to relax on Saturday, Mother. All finances and no play make Jill a dull girl."
"I know, darling. I've barely seen you since you came home. After twelve years you might at least eat dinner with me. I know you only had two days to attend your father's funeral, but now that you can spare some time I think we ought to see more of each other."
What Jill was seeing was red, clouding her vision, taking her back to the days when Mother could and did get under her skin, until shouting and smashing seemed like the only way out. I'm not 18 anymore, she thought. I'm an adult. I will not be provoked.
"I suppose you'll see me on Saturday at your White Elephant party, since it's important to you, but until then my first priority is the job that you asked me to do."
"Well, I can't wait to see what you've come up with. Your father poured his heart out into his businesses to support this family. I know you won't let that Garrett French get away with another lowball offer for the Inn. You were always Daddy's girl. Don't undervalue his work."
And Mother shut the door gently, leaving Jill to choke on her responses. I don't "come up" with numbers! The figures are all here, somewhere. The inn is worth what it's worth, no matter how much you or I or Daddy valued it.
"That Garrett French" was the stock villain of Mother's life, an investor who was snapping up local properties. According to what mood Mother was in, he was either preventing progress by refusing to modernize outdated buildings, or destroying history by recklessly renovating the crumbling charm out of the downtown historical district. Jill didn't remember him well, as he'd been several years older than her, but she pictured him now as the Old Man Potter, rubbing his hands and cackling as he lowballed the worthy property owners of Luxembourg, Ohio.
Jill stretched and then shivered in the chill of the old house. She was at work in the library, and had been, it felt like, since she'd arrived. She knew, if she cared to cast her mind back, that Mother had an array of snacks out for her as she'd lugged her bags, and that she'd slept in an elegant room that had not been her bedroom for twelve years. The bedroom, as the dining room and the rest of the house, was spotless and fresh, because as best Jill could tell the inn staff were cleaning this house along with their standard housekeeping duties next door. And the books were being fudged so that somehow this counted as a business expense. So many things, in fact, counted as a business expense that the inn was barely running at a profit. And the same went for Daddy's garage, and several other ventures that fell under the heading of "family business".
The implications of this needed to be hashed out, but for now, all Jill wanted was something warm to wear. She pulled open the closet door in the hall before she remembered that she didn't live here anymore and wouldn't have a jacket hanging up. And then, as she stared at Daddy's old Christmas sweater on its wooden hanger, she felt her heart pounding like a leaden lump of grief.
It was in the closet because he'd worn it all year round, and because in the four months since his death no one had had the heart to move it, and so here it was in all its faded glory. Oversized — for Daddy, anyway; he'd never been a big man. Red, with holly leaves, and in the center was knit a big "Ho3". That was Daddy's kind of humor. He'd seen fit to wear it on balmy Spring days as well as by the glow of the Yule log. Jill pulled the sweater on and wrapped herself in her father. Here she was in his arms again, pressing her face against his shoulder, smelling his warm Daddy smell, wiping her tears on this very sleeve. Why had she not come home? Why had she let her mother keep her away? Why did she think emails and calls could substitute for Daddy in his sweater?
The big sob she could no longer hold back broke forth, and with it all the temper that she'd curbed for the past two days. She looked around for the the nearest thing to grab, just as she used to do. A string of chaste white lights, framing the doorway, was within her grasp. She yanked them down, opened the door to hurl them out onto the porch, and yanked her arm back to avoid hitting the hat of the man standing outside the door, shaking the snow off of his shoes.
His flinch brought Jill to her senses, and she realized how she must look. Ancient Christmas sweater, frizzy hair, red eyes, nose welling up with a big drip, and the lights of fury still glowing in her fist. She hadn't even pulled them out of the plug.
"Trouble with your lights?" asked the man, who had recovered himself as well. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Jill had already formulated a story about the difficulties of Christmas decorating when her mouth said instead, "I was angry."
He nodded, and studied the Christmas sweater, and asked, "Are you Gillian?"
"Jill, yes," she said, too startled to deny her full name. "How did you know?"
"Well, you're holding lights, and you'll forgive me if I note that you are probably not one of the Luxembourg Inn staff members that Regina usually pulls in to do her menial decorating tasks. Plus, I used to see your dad wearing that sweater all the time. Now here is someone wearing Chuck O'Leary's Christmas sweater — out of love, I assume, because no one would wear that sweater otherwise. You look like your sisters Reagan and Del, but I can't imagine either of them wearing your dad's sweater or crying. So, a family member, the prodigal daughter coming home to paper over the accounting problems. Ergo, Jill."
Jill stepped out on the front porch and carefully closed the front door before availing herself of the clean tissue the man provided her. "Love" was a word that she had heard her mother say often over the years, in many different contexts, but to hear someone say that the Christmas sweater was evidence that she genuinely loved her father destroyed her for a moment.
"Will you be okay?" the man asked, concerned. "Should I call someone?"
Jill hiccuped through her sobs. "Did you really just say, 'Ergo'?"
He laughed. "I did. I'm pompous that way."
The sweater was as convenient as the soggy tissue, so she wiped her eyes and nose on it as well. "I'm sorry," she said, and then she was angry again. "Though there's no reason I should apologize. I can cry if I want to."
"You don't have to apologize for that at all," he said, "Your dad was a good man."
Jill wailed. "And I didn't even hit you with the lights, so I don't have to be sorry for that either. You shouldn't have been right outside the door."
"And I won't be, much longer. I can see that this isn't a good time. Would you tell your mother I'll stop by to see her another time?"
He handed Jill a business card and another tissue, and tipped his hat to her as he turned to go. Who wears a hat? Jill wondered. Who says "Ergo"?
Looking down at the card, she read the name "Garrett French".

Channel 4 have produced a series called Katie: My Beautiful Friends. Here is their official blurb:
Katie Piper sets out on an extraordinary journey to use her personal experience to help rebuild the lives and confidence of people like her who are fighting for normality while living with a disfigurement.
Piper's personal experience, if you don't know, is that she was disfigured and blinded in one eye in an acid attack, a jar of the stuff thrown into her face.
On today's episode, one of Katie's friends was Andrew. That's him in the blue jumper at the front of the picture.
Andrew was born with Treacher-Collins syndrome and, as a result, has some craniofacial deformities. They effect his voice, and this has seemed to cause him some added anxiety. Andrew's clearly into comic books and animation, and he has the action figures and stuffed Chipmunks to prove it.
You can currently see the show on 4OD (territory rules permitting). The scenes with Andrew kick off at the half way mark, just after the ads – you'll see a divider in the timeline, just click past it. In the first section you'll see him talk about why he identifies with Spider-Man, why he didn't go to university to study animation and, if you look quickly, you can spot all of his geek status symbols.
Clearly, he's one of us. They're letting us on TV now.
The show does take a break from Andrew for a few minutes, but he's back around 38:20. Shortly after that, he goes to MCM, and when on his way in says:
Compared to some of the people here I feel like a normal person.
Then, as if to prove this point, he's away to Comics Village to show some of the exhibitors his art.
You'll see Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood, of course. Tony thumbs through Andrew's iPhone of demo pieces, and offers up an encouraging critique:
I do like your cartoony style. You have a flair for the comic art.
Rich spotted Markosia in the background (or at least said he did, in order to plug them and, you know, grease the wheels a bit more for Kate and William 2: The Revengening). I spotted also the Alien Ink folk and Andie Tong, and there's also a bit of Free Hugging. He's having the full MCM experience.
Now, I've heard at least a dozen different reasons that people give for identifying with Spider-Man, and they all seem fair, though none are quite the same as mine. I do, however, use Andrew's exact excuse for being a slob all of the time. Check it out at 27:15.
Yep. Great minds and all that.

I took out my journal and flipped to my New Year's Resolution page yesterday. It's the 1st of July, mid of the year, Canada Day, (okay not really related but I had to point that out lol) – I had to take a step back and see if I'm still on track with my NYRs. […]View post →
At the start of every year, I like to sit down and make a list of my New Year's resolutions. I would also think of a word or two that serves as my guiding word(s) of the year. I came across this concept last year and it worked pretty well for me. There were times when […]View post →
Hi everybody! I decided to take this Friday as my rest day for the weekend (going over to a friend's birthday celebration and ice-skating after), so I am just going to share a nice motivational quote and remind you about your New Year's resolution.

"2015 – a brand new year, a brand new start." Although new year's day is technically just another day in our lives, it is always nice to be reminded about our hopes and wishes, our desires and values in life after living our lives for years. After all, we all grow a year older and […]View post →

Never have I been to a city where you base your weekends around a lazy brunch surrounded by good friends, copious amounts of food, and free-flowing booze…not that I'm complaining, of course. Though I'm never one to say no to a good brunch, it can often be quite the task to actually pick a restaurant that offers all of the above without breaking the bank each weekend and that all of your friends agree on. Thankfully, Souvla is here to help all you desperate Hong Kongers out with their Greek lunch buffet.
Souvla, located in the heart of the beloved or despised LKF, is a thoughtfully decorated Greek restaurant part of the Concept Creations group of restaurants, offering staple Greek dishes that are sure to please any palate. Lunch at Souvla (which is also offered during the weekday for those who work in Central) is hard to beat; perfect if you're a vegetarian as their buffet selection is purely veggie-based, but also great if you're a meat-lover as they have a "Rump & Rooster" special add-on if you want to indulge in their carving station of roasted chicken and beef rump.
Vegetarians, rejoice! Souvla's weekend buffet spread is all about the vegetables, so not only can you stuff your face with delicious Greek delights but you don't have to feel as guilty about doing it. It's pretty much a win-win situation. The buffet includes plenty of rice dishes, a variety of marinated vegetable salads - Greek, beet, chickpea, etc., and a few hot dishes like corn on the cob, beans, and roasted potatoes. All of the vegetable dishes were delicious and healthy, so long as you steered clear of the mayo-based ones. We were all a big fan of the dishes offered, though some could use a bit more flavour. But, I suppose for the price, beggars can't be choosers.
On Saturdays you can pay an extra $20+ to add a meat souvla to your buffet and on Sundays, for a little more than $100, you can add on unlimited chicken and roast at their carving station.
Their dessert buffet has plenty of Greek goodies, but unfortunately we weren't overly satisfied with the selection. All I'll say is that they really need to step their game up on the baklava. With that perfected, I would probably be there every weekend.
So, what makes this buffet even more appetizing than it already is? Well my booze-and-brunch-loving HK friends, it's the fact that Souvla offers no corkage fees on Saturdays during lunch and Sunday all day. Yes, you heard me right - you can bring in a cheeky bottle (or two!) of your own wine to wash down all their buffet goodness for free. Pretty sure you can't beat that deal anywhere else in HK!
Saturday buffet only: $168 includes buffet + coffee/tea
Saturday buffet & souvla: $188-$208 includes buffet + choice of souvla + coffee/tea
Sunday Rump & Rooster: $295 includes buffet + unlimited roast + coffee/tea
1/F, Ho Lee Commercial Building / 40 D'Aguilar Street / 2522-1823

The skin is perhaps the most sensitive organ in the human body. It is tasked with the protection from external factors, which means that it is subjected to lots of wear and tear, which can lead to damage to the skin.
Hormonal disorders, sun, the weather, and other factors can cause damage to our skin in the form of acne, stains, and wrinkles. These factors can cause another problem that nobody wants – excess hair. The skin is covered in hair in certain body parts. But, there are areas that we would like to stay hair-free. Excess hair on underarms or on the face is a big problem that is affecting tens of millions of women worldwide, and they are trying to reduce these hairs by shaving or waxing. These treatments can be extremely painful, and they do not offer long-term effects.
So, how can you remove all the excess hair, using natural treatments, and is that even possible? Of course, it is. In this article, we are going to talk about a great shaving cream that is consisted of natural ingredients, and that can remove all the excess hair from your skin, while whitening and cleaning it at the same time.
- Two tablespoons of unflavored gelatin
- Two tablespoons of potato juice
- Five tablespoons of milk
- Half a tablespoon of baking soda
How to prepare and use it:
The preparation process is rather simple. All you need to do is take a bowl and then mix all the ingredients together. When you are done mixing, warm this mixture in your microwave for half a minute.
Remember that before using this cream, you need to clean the area that you want to apply the mixture to. Then, apply the cream with the help of a brush, in the direction of the hair growth. Leave the mixture to dry for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you need to peel the layer of cream away, in a direction opposite from the direction in which the hair grows. Then, rinse it with warm water and then apply a moisturizer of your choosing.
This is a mixture that is great for your skin because the milk will offer soothing properties, while the potato juice will refresh your skin. Baking soda, on the other hand, will soften your skin and help you with the extraction of the hair. This homemade cream will also exfoliate your skin, and it will make it look younger and radiant.

text: In 2013, the world learned that the NSA and its UK equivalent, GCHQ, routinely spied on the German government. Amid the outrage, artists Mathias Jud and Christoph Wachter thought: Well, if they're listening … let's talk to them. With antennas mounted on the roof of the Swiss Embassy in Berlin's government district, they set up an open network that let the world send messages to US and UK spies listening nearby. It's one of three bold, often funny, and frankly subversive works detailed in this talk, which highlights the world's growing discontent with surveillance and closed networks.

I submitted mine and they were both approved in either May or June, so it's been awhile. Bugged the devs a few times and they said they still have yet to add some, but it's been, as you can see, quite awhile now. I assume a lot have yet to be added, since there were 100 of us (thus 100 emblems), but maybe some of them just never submitted theirs.
Any of you still waiting for yours to be added? More or less I made this thread to see if the devs will take notice and add them, since it's been so long.
Looks like we missed it, should be in next update
This content update marks the release of Feitoria, our biggest map yet, featuring all of our current game modes. In addition, we have also added more siege-oriented features, such as the ability to drop and raise ladders, chuck large two handed stones from above, tip over baskets of rocks, and even pour boiling oil from cauldrons positioned at strategic locations.
In the coming weeks and months we will be releasing more content additions and gameplay improvements: we're adapting Mountain Peak for Invasion, finishing up work on our next new map Castello, as well as giving Horde mode some much needed attention.
Patch #13 Changelog 28/10/2019
Visuals & Misc
We're going to be giving the duel servers in SA a shot, but we don't expect the matchmaking to work well for the region once the ranks spread out. We'll post an update once they're active.
For those commenting about other regions, we're looking into adjusting server locations for ranked, please bear with us while we figure what's best for the ranked modes.
@AYE said:
I would like to ask Triternion to switch some servers and give us the chance to play that thing we've waited for so long. I understand that you don't want to pay for extra servers in this region, I don't share this thought but i accept it.
This has nothing to do with cost, but rather that the mode simply would not work with the low number of players in the region. MMR/rank spread would accumulate and very soon you'd be looking at rather ridiculous queue times, where only people in the 'average' rank would find any matches at all. For these low population regions, dedicated FFA duel servers work much, much better, as the entire region's population can fit into 1 or 2 servers.
@SetePele said:
Add SA servers!
Impossible to play with 170+ ping
We're looking into other regions, but without enough players we cannot reliably support ranked matchmaking when the populations are tiny, since joining a FFA duel server would give you a far better experience in that case. We'll continue monitoring regions though, our initial release only really considered the popular regions, but we will be evaluating playercounts in other regions as well.
@Gorvak said:
Really want to play it, but with 200+ms is impossible.
We have one Battle Royale server in SA, however, what you're probably seeing is that nobody is queuing for it. In fact, the battle royale mode is all but dead, peaking at maybe 150 players in EU. That's enough to find matches in EU, but not really in other regions, which are far less populated. It's the least popular mode out of all of our modes.
@GODAIME said:
Sometimes in game my thrust attack, which is binded to E key, doesn't work (Yea, I said delay, but actually it doesnt work for more than 2-3 seconds and more. I'm using the "work around" and don't know how bad it can be).
Why is this a bug and not lag/pc problem:
- When this bug happens.. i hit ESC key to get into the menu.. and spam ESC again to get out of it and it won't work. It works only if I spam hit left mouse key in the menu, and then it closes and the bug is gone.
- My PC is i7 8700K, NVidia 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM, SSD and I play on medium/high to get 100+ fps for my monitor to show. Can't be processor problem.
- I never join servers with more than 60 ping in the browser. I don't use main screen server options.
- There are also other threads about this same issue around the WEB.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=DdiNmYxdWSY
- happens mostly on duel servers, rarely in frontline. Maybe this is because I morph often, which means I hold/click E (thrust attack) more often and it mess up the key queue or something, but it feels like the key queue is full of shit.
- swings works fine (morphs are impossible).
- this might be related to the stamina checks and not the input queue
- maybe this bug is rare, because me and this guy from the video have it binded to custom key?
Are you using angle after attack press? That would explain a few weird cases, e.g. where nothing is happening when you're not moving the view @ 22. Other than that, it seems largely you're hitting the input in recovery, which will just be ignored right now since attack is not allowed there. The game may have been conditioning you wrong in some cases because the game does queue in hit recovery a little bit, but not in miss recovery, which admittedly, is a bit weird and should probably be adjusted in the future.
EDIT: actually, not sure if the angle after attack press could explain that, but let me know if you do have that enabled anyway.
Thanks for the info, your level/gold should be safe, but we're investigating the issue. There shouldn't be any problem for you to continue playing and gaining more gold while we work on sorting this out. It looks like the xp/gold is all there, but for some reason it isn't counted correctly when tallying up the total level amount and gold amount.
@Pred said:
This much of Chivalry lore was enough tbh:
There is a kingdom
One side is loyal to the king of that kingdom
The other party wants to topple the old system. Malric is in this one.
It was Team Objective which gave fighting in Chiv a structure. You were fighting to accomplish things, they were kinda-sorta sometimes related to lore, but nobody really cared, because accomplishing these things was fun in itself. You needed to do a thing and to do it you had to beat motherfuckers up along the way. If you weren't beating motherfuckers up hard enough, you lost. Simple. Fun.
You can't even call Frontline a TDM because racking up kills means absolutely nothing if you don't control more points. The mode is just waiting for one of two countdowns to run down and you are free to run around and kill some enemies in huge clusterfucks in the meantime.
This comment is in line with the issues we believe are the root of the problem/dissatisfaction. It's no surprise we spent a long time on the combat and other things around it, that we ended up being a bit short on time when it came to giving the game modes the same treatment. In the end, we did what we could to salvage things by adding some objective support to Frontline under some heavy crunch and shipped it. We thought it'd do well and also we simply couldn't afford for it to not to. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as it could've been and the game still sold extremely well. But we hear you, and are going to be working to introduce the type of objective-focused mode the community is looking forward to as we go on with development. Sometimes it's hard to hear criticism late in the dev cycle when you're powerless to do anything to fix it, and this was definitely the case leading up to release.

I think it's complete bullshit that more and more games are removing family sharing. I family share games with my wife and her to me so we don't generally have to buy more than one copy of a game unless it's something we want to play coop or whatever (like Borderlands). This game specifically, we both got, but the practice of removing the feature is getting alarming.
I love how all these fucks are defending this too saying shit like "JUsT buY ThE GaEM BrUH!!!"
Apparently ya'll forgot that back in the day when you bought a game, it didn't matter how many computers you installed it on, or with console, how many consoles you played the game on. You bought the game, you could take that bitch over to your friends house and install it on HIS computer if you wanted to!
Now, you buy a game, even if you're in a family, you have to buy a separate game for EACH person who wants to play it, and this is doubly true if you want to play coop--because even with Family Share, you two can't be on the game at the same time.
Ya'll need to wake up. Gaming industry has been pinching us like Mafia overlords for YEARS now, and you lie down and let it happen! Why defend this crap? It's like games no longer having local multiplayer on consoles now. It's just a bid to force families to buy multiple consoles if they want to actually enjoy a game together!
Ya'll defending these practices make me sick.
I get something needs to be done about cheaters, just going to reiterate that. I get it, especially in a MP game like this one, which is why I try to cut Mordhau some slack. That said, removing family share is just a crappy bandaid to the hacker problem and the devs need to get their shit together and stop doing banwaves then unbanning the people banned in the first place!
The problem is that we ban a person's account, but Steam lets them share it to another account and get around our ban (or vice versa), making it completely impossible for us to deny them access if they've been found cheating. We are powerless here as it's only Valve that can change how this system works.
@FoggyDewhurst said:
Well, my ban got revoked and I am very appreciative of that courtesy. Despite that, I'm playing it safe from this point forward and not touching this game again, as much as I enjoyed it. One game is not worth the risk of slander being attached to your Steam profile.
We are still tweaking our detection, but we're going to be playing it much more safe from here on, to prevent any further incidents like the current one. We make mistakes, but we always do everything we can to fix things as soon as possible. We've revoked bans automatically to most affected, leaving a handful of edge cases. Everyone that got in touch with us, we've cleared the issue up, there's absolutely no risk here. Apologies, but we simply cast too wide of a net with our initial ban wave, we've learned from that and adapted both our approach to detection as well as our way of acting upon that information.
@horrorshow1984 said:
i can connect to servers again. apparently the patch managed to corrupt the installation for me.
here's what i did:
i uninstalled the game and reinstalled from a backup.
after installation and updates where done, i still had the same problem.
so i decided to validate the game cache despite it being a new installation with the latest updates.
validate game files via steam by right-clicking Mordhau -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity Of Game Files
3 files were corrupt and were reacquired (a total of 10 KB).
just connected to a server and it worked. i'm stoked as f*! :)
please let me know if that also solves the problem for you guys, then we can edit the tread title to SOLVED for people googling for it. Thanks!
Did this also fix local matches for you?
Also, do you have a local server running when you're trying to join local matches? (I don't mean if you're trying to join the server, just if it's running)

Since I can remember, my family and I haven't eaten any red meat… although we still ate chicken and fish. However, after a Biology experiment at school, I decided that I never wanted to eat any meat again.
Before coming to my parents with my decision to become vegetarian, I made sure to do a lot of research. As meat is a source of protein, I had to find some other ways to incorporate protein into my diet.
It's only been a short while since I've removed all meat from my diet, but I feel so much better and have way more energy. One thing that I noticed right away is that I don't feel so bloated after a meal; For me, that's a really good thing.
I must admit, the hardest thing about becoming vegetarian was removing chicken from my diet. I used to LOVE chicken, and still crave it sometimes! Oh yeah, and sweets– you know those cookies and pies and pastries we all love so much? I still crave those, too… although I'm trying to find healthier alternatives to some of my favorite desserts.
Some people have asked me…How can you live without meat? Well, it's easier than you think…and everything tastes so much better. When you take responsibility for what you put in your body, it becomes easier and even fun. 🙂
As I'm learning new things about being vegetarian, I'll share them here on Raw and Fresh. It's my way of giving back a bit. I hope you and your families will benefit from this knowledge and enjoy a happy, healthy, and meat free life!

Hello everybody! It's been ages since I've been on this blog malarkey.
Sorry, and I know I've had floods and floods and floods and floods of people asking where I am?
Seriously though, isn't it a gorgeous day out there; sunshine is flooding my kitchen and the pavements are damp from a soft shower of rain? Oh and glory be, the daffs are out in the shops (a pound a bunch from Waitrose...ridiculous, I've got them all over my house!) and a clear sign we're heading for Spring.
So, what better for a new beginning!
Yes, and here it is! I am about to finally launch my book on Amazon! It's been a long haul because I have other irons in the fire - (to be publicized at a later date) and those have frustratedly kept me from the task at hand. But it's about to happen! Yes! Definitely, honestly, truly! And hopefully within the next week or so, so BRACE YOURSELVES! And promise me faithfully you will read it. Although, you have been warned: if you suffer from any discriminating ailments in the er, well...in the southerly direction, best not take a chance,

A Common Mechanism of Disease Progression"
Philadelphia, PA
Dr. Virginia M. -Y. Lee, is the John H. Ware 3rd Professor in Alzheimer's Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. She studied music at the Royal Academy of Music in London (1962-1964), obtained an MS in Biochemistry from the University of London (1968), and received her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of California at San Francisco in 1973. Dr. Lee did postdoctoral studies in pharmacology at the Rudolf Magnus Institute at the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands (1973-1974) and in experimental neuropathology at Children's Hospital Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston (1974-1979) after which she became Associate Senior Research Investigator at Smith-Kline & French, Inc. in Philadelphia from 1979-1980. She joined the faculty of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania in 1981 where she rose to the rank of professor in 1989. Dr. Lee completed the Executive MBA program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (1982-1984), and obtained her MBA degree in 1984. Currently, she is Director of the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research and Co-director of the Marian S. Ware Alzheimer Drug Discovery Program at Penn. Dr. Lee received the Metropolitan Life Foundation Award for Medical Research in Alzheimer's Disease (1991, 1996), the Potamkin Prize for Medical Research in Alzheimer's Disease (1998), the Bristol-Myers Squibb Biomedical Research Grant in Neuroscience Research (2003), the 24th Annual Robert J. and Claire Pasarow Foundation Award in Neuropsychiatry Research (2012), the John Scott Award (2012) and the 2004 J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine, Molecular Basis of Neurological Disorders from the Robarts Institute, London, Ontario, Canada. She was a member of the National Advisory Council on Aging (NIA) and the NIA Board of Scientific Counselors and was elected to the Institute of Medicine (2006) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2013).
Dr. Lee's research focuses on proteins that form pathological inclusions in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related neurodegenerative disorders. Her work demonstrated that tau, alpha-synuclein and TDP-43 proteins form unique inclusions in neurodegenerative diseases and that aggregation of these proteins is a common mechanistic theme in AD, PD, FTLD, ALS and related disorders. Significantly, Dr. Lee's studies implicated the abnormal aggregation of tau, alpha-synuclein and TDP-43 in mechanisms that compromise neuronal viability. Major accomplishments include discovery of tau, alpha-synuclein and TDP-43 as the diseases proteins in AD, PD and ALS/FTD, respectively, elucidating the roles of these proteins in neurodegeneration, pursuing pathological tau as a target for AD and FTD drug discovery, and how the transmission of pathological tau and alpha-synuclein explains the progression of AD and PD. Most importantly, this research has opened up new avenues of research to identify targets for drug discovery to develop better treatments for these disorders. Because of the broad impact of her research, Dr. Lee's h-index is 158 and she is listed among the 10 most highly cited AD researchers from 1985-2008 (JAD, 16:451-465, 2009) as well as among the top 400 most highly influential biomedical researchers from 1996-2011 (Eur J Clin Invest, 43:1339-1365, 2014). ISI has recognized Dr. Lee as an ISI Highly Cited Researcher which places her in the top 10 most highly cited neuroscientists from 1997 to 2007.
In November, Dr. Lee was awarded a 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences.

December 05, 2005
The number of people I connect with and interact with on a daily basis has only gone down by one and yet it feels as if I have no connection to anyone at all. I sit alone in this apartment staring at the walls with mindless television or movies droning on to mask the oppressive quiet. I long for the phone to ring, to bring me human contact, and then, when it does ring I can't wait for the person to go away and leave me alone. I no longer know if I am coming or going. What once made sense now seems insane, and nothing seems normal any more.
On a daily basis I used to send Michele at least one email from work, usually something banal to let her know I'd arrived safely. We always talked on the phone during the day, sometimes several times. Not every evening was filled with conversation but there was always a recounting of our activities apart, a sharing of the other's life that brought us closer together.
Now I rarely take the phone out of my coat pocket, some days I leave it on silent because I know it will never ring with her on the other end again. And the rule in my mail in box that caused the computer to chime when the mail was from her will be forever unused.
The connection quotient of my life has only changed by one and yet that one was more than all the others combined, more than all the others multiplied. Being alone in this apartment is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Sometimes I can't stand the silence here and I have to go out, just to be around other people. But then I feel exposed and vulnerable and I have to come back to this place to feel safe. Only I don't feel safe here anymore. I am totally uprooted and adrift, helpless in the currents of grief and despair.
I am alone.

This was contained in a statement by police spokesman Chike Oti, a Chief Superintendent (CSP) in reaction to reports on Mbadugha's attack.
According to Oti, the suspects identified as Kingsley Asuquo, 19, and Isaac Edet, 18, both guards attached to the lawyer from Strongcity Security Services Limited said they planned to kill him if it became necessary.

It was gathered that the suspects were bitter that they were not being paid when due despite the money being made by the lawyer from his client including Innoson Motors.
Denying that the victim was attacked by unknown assailants, Oti said both suspects were guards attached to him, adding that efforts were being made to apprehend their accomplices at large.
He said: "The Lagos State Police Command is investigating two security guards, Kingsley Asuquo,19 and Isaac Edet, 18, assigned to guard a Lagos lawyer, Prof. McCarthy Mbadugha, from Strongcity Security Services but ended up attacking and robbing the same man that hired them for protective services.
"On October 13, at about 5:30pm, the command received information from a credible source that armed bandits held one Barrister Joseph Mbadugha aka Prof McCarty Mbadugha, hostage in his office at JohnVic Igbanogo Street, Lekki Phase one. That the armed men were seen wearing Strongcity Security Services uniform.
"Based on the information, operatives from Maroko Police Station and FSARS Ikeja, jointly mobilised to the scene. On sighting the operatives, the hoodlums ran in different directions to avoid being arrested but one of them, who gave his name as Isaac Edet, was nabbed at the scene.
"During interrogation, he mentioned and led detectives to arrest his partner in crime, one Kingsley Asuquo. Interestingly, both suspects are staff of Strongcity Security Services attached to the victim.

"They claimed the victim does not pay their salary as at when due, hence they planned with others at large to rob and kill him if necessary.
"They succeeded in dispossessing the victim of a bag containing laptop, N40,000, three cheque booklets, an iPhone-6. All these items were recovered from the thieves in the course of investigation.
"The Commissioner of Police has directed the head of the command's Intelligence Unit to fish out the suspects at large for prosecution. The command hopes that this press release halts rumour making the rounds on social media that the lawyer was attacked by unknown assailants."

Iman Shumpert addresses whirlwind of rumors surrounding him
Iman Shumpert of the Sacramento Kings has slammed the rumors surrounding he and his wife, singer Teyana Taylor.
Via Twitter, Shumpert posted a series of photos ripping a news article which claimed that he, Taylor, and adult film star Alby Rydes had a threesome which resulted in the latter's pregnancy. In his message below, Shumpert indicates his intention to pursue legal action. He also asked those who followed him solely to troll or receive an update about the said rumor to hit the unfollow button.
https://t.co/ilEaG8D4fh#piecedelafoutupie out now!!!
Tough loss but we'll bounce back in Toronto #thescoresishere pic.twitter.com/ERYtRggSSX
— Iman. (@imanshumpert) January 22, 2019
Taylor, who has since deleted her Instagram account due to the trolls, addressed the rumors via Twitter. In her message below, she claimed that she has never seen Rydes. She also noted that her husband wouldn't do such a thing.
1. I've never seen/touched that girl in my life. 2. My page is gone because I'm upset at @defjam for not dropping my damn "WTP" video on time, per usual. 3. It's really sad that lies are entertained so much than the truth. 4. Iman is not dumb he know I'd kill him 😃 End of story. https://t.co/FCdG0c1VIr
— TEYANA M.J. SHUMPERT (@TEYANATAYLOR) January 21, 2019
Below is another Tweet from Taylor, reiterating that her husband won't dare cheat on her.
Confirmation CONFIRMATION, the rumors aren't true. 😩😂😂😂😂 this sealed the deal. I'd cut it while he's awake. Lmfao https://t.co/ZrjW2si62A
— TEYANA M.J. SHUMPERT (@TEYANATAYLOR) January 21, 2019
Rydes, for her part, posted an Instagram story to address the rumors. Just like Shumpert and Taylor, Rydes shut down the rumors. According to her, she got pregnant with the baby from the man she was dating, and that man is not Shumpert. Finally, she asked everyone to stop spreading fake news and to leave her alone.
Shumpert is in his eighth year in the NBA, averaging 9.1 points in 25.6 minutes per game with the Kings this year. The 28-year-old has improved his three-point shooting to 37.9 percent this year.

Acadia University to immunize students, staff against meningitis B
Published Friday, February 13, 2015 9:19AM EST Last Updated Friday, February 13, 2015 4:24PM EST
Acadia University is seen in Wolfville, N.S. on Friday, Feb. 13, 2015. (Andrew Vaughan / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
HALIFAX -- Officials are trying to contain an outbreak of meningitis at Acadia University after confirming that a second student contracted the same strain of the disease that's been linked to the death of a young woman at the Nova Scotia school.
Dr. Robert Strang, the province's chief public health officer, said Friday that a free, two-dose vaccination program for all students will begin next Wednesday at the campus in Wolfville, N.S.
The roughly 8,000 doses for up to 4,000 people will also be available for staff and faculty who are at greater risk because of certain medical conditions, such as immune disorders or a compromised spleen.
"We now have an outbreak of meningococcal serogroup B amongst Acadia students," Strang said. "But the risk to any individual remains low and there is no increased risk to the broader community."
Hope Maryka, a first-year business student, became ill Monday and was taken to hospital to recover. A statement on the university's website Friday said her condition was continuing to improve.
"I want to let you know that Hope is continuing to recover and is deeply appreciative of the support she has received from her friends and colleagues at Acadia and beyond," said university president Ray Ivany.
Strang said no other students had exhibited symptoms, but some members of her rugby team expressed concern that they may have shared her water bottle at a training session. Some of them have come forward to receive antibiotics as a preventative measure, Strang said.
This latest case followed the death on Feb. 1 of Sarah Hastings, another first-year business student who was also found to have the B strain.
Strang said earlier in the week that the two women were not friends and did not have any known contact with each other.
Health officials have contacted the manufacturer of a B strain vaccine to ensure they can secure an adequate supply for the immunizations. It will cost about $650,000 for the Bexsero vaccine to be used at Acadia University clinics.
There have been four cases of meningitis in the province this year, including a male student at St. Francis Xavier University who recovered from the Y strain last month. He also had the B strain in November. Both cases were considered to be isolated.
There were two cases in the province last year, with the last fatality in 2002. Strang said the last significant outbreak was in the early 1990s.
It's estimated that one in 10 cases of meningococcal disease is fatal and between five and 10 per cent of people are carriers of the disease. What's not clear is why some cases progress rapidly and become lethal.
Roughly about two-thirds of the cases in the last decade have been the B strain.
To prevent spreading the disease, Strang urged people not to share drinks, water bottles, eating utensils, lip balm or toothbrushes. People should also make sure they are washing their hands or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, he said.
Anyone with severe symptoms, including fever, headache, change in the level of alertness, stiff neck, rash and nausea, is advised to get medical help.

The playground sits right on the beach. But for a small wall the perimeter would be indistinguishable, as the sand from the beach spills right over under the swings and the slide. It is a small playground, but it never feels crowded. Infinity stretches out all around it.
The boys take off their shoes; they run and slide and dig. After awhile, we pack up the sand toys and put them back in the car, pulling out their scooters. There is a long, paved path that runs along the beach. One path is for bikers and other things with wheels, but my boys use the pedestrian path, since they are so small and their scooters move only so fast. People stop to admire Zachary on his scooter, tiny and proficient, and to laugh as Benjamin stands, both feet on the vehicle, willing it to move.
Zachary himself stops to admire. The skateboarders jump and twist, practicing moves on a plaza just beside the playground. He watches, calculating when he will be old enough to join their ranks.
Then, we pack it all away, scooters and helmets back in the car, as we take it down to basics. We walk to the edge of the water, where the sand is packed and wet. We roll up our cuffs, remove our shoes, and stand at the ready. The first small wave to splash over our feet is shocking, early-April cold. Zach jumps with delight as each wave hits his feet. Ben, however, stands stock-still, stiffening just a little with each cold wash. His eyes are focused; he watches each tiny wave to ascertain whether this one has a chance of making it all the way up to his toes. His lips are slightly parted; not a smile as much as a breath of welcome.
"More," he says quietly after one wave. He is not speaking to me. He is asking the ocean to keep giving this feeling, the water on top and the sand slipping away underneath.
My grandfather once wrote a poem about going to the beach with my grandmother. "Susie likes to feel the water sloshing," the final line reads. I think of this poem while I watch Benjamin. Someday he will know the word "sloshing," and it will be just the word he needs.
The tide is coming in, and we begin lifting the boys out of the water as the deeper waves come up. They giggle and squeal now as we toss them up just in time to avoid wetting the rolled cuffs of their pants. But it is getting late, and it is time to go home for supper.
Zachary complains, not wanting to end his afternoon. Benjamin cries. He is not yet convinced that the ocean is now a part of his life. One day, he seems to fear, it will roll out and never come back in.

Step 1
LIP PREP: To ensure your lips are in tip top condition, exfoliate gently with a toothbrush and apply lip balm before bed. Prepare the lips with a dusting of your favourite make-up base or foundation. Next, using the nude lip liner, start at the cupid's bow and fill in lips.
Step 2
LIP COLOUR: For a professional finish use the lip brush to apply Red Cork across the lips, blot with a tissue and reapply for a long-lasting finish.
Step 3
EYES: Keep the feline eye line quite skinny and use Shadowline, (from Frontcover's A Billion Stars Kit) swirled on a dark eyeshadow pigment to draw the line above your upper lashes. As you reach the outer edge, angle the line upwards toward the end of your brow, drawing back down to the outer corner of the eye, creating a small triangle – fill this in.

Mekakucity continued its freewheeling M.O. of jumping from flashbacks to the present and from one group of characters to another, shedding more light on how they got to where they are, where they're headed, and how they'll get there—in a word, as a single united group.
The snake possessing Kenjirou's original plan was foiled by Ayano's suicide, but he's still at it, and wants to use the group to fulfill his host's wish. It wants to do this not because it's necessarily evil (though it doesn't think much of humans) but because doing so allows it to exist in the first place.
Still, the snake is a prety wishy-washy and somewhat creul entity, so he doesn't have my sympathy. If the choice is between letting it continuing existing or letting the Mekukashi-dan, I'm going with the latter. But it's clear that neither side really had a choice in the matter. When the snake encounters wishes, it's in its nature to fulfill them, no matter how much chaos it costs.
As he lingers at his sister's gravestone, Kano finally lowers his armor and has a good cry in the arms of Seto, who arrived wondering what was up. Kano has a right to be upset; he watched his sister fall into another dimension, never to be seen again, but both his pain of those events and the responsibility to right things isn't his alone.
Similarly, when they finally chase him down, Kido and Momo explain to Hibiya that he's more likely to save Hiyori if working together with them. When they're captured and imprisoned in a futuristic jail by mysterious enemy in white suits, Momo ups her idol powers to call for help and cheer Hibiya up, all while being concealed by Kido's powers.
It works, as it draws not only Kano, Seto, Marry and Haruka to their location, but Takane as well, back in a physical body. The only Actor missing is Shintaro, who spends the episode in his house talking to Shion, then entering the dreamworld where he meets with Ayano and repeats the refrain of the episode: the time for fighting alone is over.
