There comes a time in some relationships where it just ain't working. Oftentimes I see people hanging on for dear life to NOTHING. I really don't understand the point of this. From my observation over the past few months, and just talking to several people from all over, the top excuses to hand in a horrible relationship are: 1. People are so desperate not to be alone that they are willing to deal with their mate's bull crap or just a loveless relationship. We see this happening a lot. You can, without a doubt, notice that a man or woman is truly unhappy in their relationship. They are either always arguing with each other, never home, sleep in separate rooms, accepting infidelities, etc. They are obviously unhappy. Why do they stick around, you ask? Because they figure it's better than being out in the world alone. Now I must admit, it's hard out here for a single woman (men it's hard for you too), but over the past few years I've embraced being single. I've learned a lot about myself and my worth. I refuse to "settle" just to have someone around; the experts call it self love. If you don't love yourself and don't want to be alone with YOU, why should anyone else want to? 2. "For the Kids". Now this one is tough, As a single mother, I can honestly understand the sacrifice that we make for our babies. It was never my intention to be a single mother. Growing up I dreamed of marriage and the 2-parent family lifestyle; it just hasn't happened YET!! Sometimes two people can create the most amazing child ever and that was truly their purpose, not to be together in a loveless relationship that the children can and will one day notice. In the long run it can do more damage for the child than help. If you two aren't really into each other or are always fighting and the children pick up on that, what type of relationships will they find themselves in as adults? Lead by example. Show them that you can get along as friends and be great parents; you don't have to be together. 3. Not paying child supportI had a conversation with a young lady who is basically dating a man with a "situation" (it's funny how we now can call a relationship a "situation"; that's never a good thing). She's holding on to the hope that one day he'll leave because he states that he's only sticking around so she doesn't put in on child support. That is sad. No man or woman should ever stay with someone to avoid having to financially contribute to their child's life. This is where we have to put on our GROWN UP hats and handle our business. No one likes to see money snatched out or their checks but it's going to your child's household, so just suck it up and get you a legal side hustle (ON THE SIDE) to make up for that money. And ladies, we are not stupid. If he's not into you, you know it, so stop hanging on thinking that the kids can change his mind. You can't make someone love you and want to be with you. Let it go! Be great parents, but let it go. 4. Splitting billsDepending on the longevity of your relationship, you could possibly have been together long enough where you are living together, splitting bills, have a joint bank account, etc. Breaking up can really throw that into hardship, especially with the economy being the way it is. You need to start planning and communicate. If it ain't working out, accept it and set deadlines. Depending on if you are renting or owning, make decisions. For those renting, depending on the lease, that can be your deadline to get your own space. Start saving our money (less going out and fast food dinners); start seriously looking for your own place that agrees with your income alone. Stop stalling! Sticking around just because of financial ties is a waste of time and energy.I understand not wanting to let go of a relationship, especially when you've invested time and energy, you share children, and money is involved. but sticking around some place you really don't want to be is not only bad, but it's a waste of time. Your perfect person might be right around the corner and you can miss that opportunity sticking with "dead weight." Let it go people. Let it go.

Making Love vs F%$&ingTHERE IS A DIFFERENCEby MsiCandiThe theme for this month's issue of the e-mag is "Sex in iCandiland".We have given you tips on spicing things up with your partner, an explanation on good sex, the responsibilities of sex, and the spiritual connection that sex has between people. In true MsiCandi fashion I must give you all the REAL DEAL and set the record straight that there is indeed a difference between making love and F%$&ing (or Effin as I like to call it)Let's start with Sex. Webster's definition of sex is SEX- either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated with reference to the reproductive functions. yeah Webster's plays too much for me as well. Let's just go with MsiCand's basic definition.SEX- an imitate activity where two individuals open themselves up to one another allowing penetration, oral sensations, anal sensations, and a few more raunchy activities. Now as bland as I attempted to make that sound, sex can be an amazing experience. For me, I consider myself a love maker. Go back and Read Mayo & Mrs Reece's articles. I fit into those categories I am they type of person that will build a bond with some one. I let them get to know me the person. We develop a connection, let a mutual respect develop, eventually it turns into love and from there sex come into play a we create magic. Making love doesn't reflect on how big a man is or how much a woman can throw it back. Experience level doesn't play into it. Its all about feelings and emotions. I love you so much that I'm expressing my love by giving you apart of me and vice verso. Its being in love with your partner and being in tune with their body. It's allowing yourself to be selfless and focus on pleasing them in the moment. In my opinion (because I know how some of y'all like to disagree with me lol) Effin' is about self and Making love is about them! Now MsiCandi isn't judging those that are just "doing it" to get their rocks off, but when you are ready to experience magic, take you tire, get to know them, create a bond, fall in love and watch you sex like go from good to AMAZING.Until next month CandiesBe iCandiliciousTo real this full issue of iCandiland E-Mag, go to:http://issuu.com/icandipro/docs/sexincandilandmay1
Is love really complicated? As I sit here and think about all of my past relationships and I now witness relationships of family members, friends, and acquaintances, I can't help but ask myself, "Is love really this complicated?" People are: hooking upbreaking upmaking uphaving childrenbreaking upairing out their lives to thousands on social mediacheatingcryingretaliating out of spitewithholding childrennot taking care of childrenmaking empty promisesdeceivinghumiliatingstalkingbusting out windows in carskilling people catching STDsbecoming bitter losing themselvesharming themselves. ALL OF THIS, and for what? LOVE. I thought love was supposed to be a safe zone. I thought love was supposed to be nurturing, uplifting, and blissful. If love is truly this great wonderful feeling, why must we go through the drama when we supposedly have it? We all look at magazine pictures of couples or TV shows (mostly old shows) and love is portrayed as such a good thing. These days when you finally find yourself loving someone that says they love you as well it's nothing like those magazine and TV shows. My question is, Is that love? Does love still exist? Is love really complicated
Dear MsiCandi,Advice needed. My husband and I have been married 3 years as of April 8th. He treats me like crap and cheated on me 2 years out of the 3 we've been married. I know I need to leave but I keep hoping that things will change. I pray daily. Help me help myself. Should I honor my vows and just accept that this marriage is nor meant to be?~Married Folks Blues~I am a huge supporter of marriage and honoring the vows said during a wedding. However, I'm also the type of woman that will not tolerate disrespect. If your husband is treating you like crap and has been doing it for the past 2 years, that's disrespect. Being that I'm a fighter and not the type to give up quickly (especially on marriage), I would have to have a serious talk with my husband. Sit down and discuss the issues going on. Why is he constantly cheating? Is there something that could help the sex life or does he just like a variety? Why is he treating you like crap? Hear his side. Tell him how all of this treatment is affecting you. Speak up! If you need to have this conversation with a third party, bring in a professional. Hash it out. Yes people can change but they have to want to change. I pray that this works out for you because I hate seeing marriages fail, but you need to make sure that you take care of YOU as well.MsiCand
Ok! I admit it! I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in true love, soul-mates, second chances, and happily ever afters. This is all coming from a single mother whose heart has been broken a time or two. Most of my married "elders" are unhappily married or divorced. I still think it's possible to get a fairy tale romance story. When I say "fairy tale", I don't mean magic fairies, princesses & frogs, and mice that can sew. I'm taking about an everlasting love between two people that can weather the storms. Most of my peers are so quick to "give it up" or "break up" that they don't let true love develop. I might get a few hate mail letters for this one but Ladies: If you are looking for a man to truly stick around take your time with sharing your body, let him get to know you, the person, before he gets to know your body. I know you are probably thinking, "Who is she? Didn't she just say she's single?" Yes, I am single, but I have made my own mistakes and witnessed enough of others' mistakes to know that this works. Just try it. The next time you meet a guy, don't instantly rush to give him the goodies. Get to know him a little bit. What's his last name? How many brothers and sisters does he have? Does he have any children? Does he take care of his children? With the rate of single parents out here it could do us all some good to get to know the person before we make a baby with a complete stranger. Remember, it only takes one time. Another thing that I think we do to mess up our chances of getting our "fairy tales" is being greedy. We always think there is "something better". Fellas: you can have a GREAT woman that looks great, treats you wonderfully, works hard, fears God, gets along with your family, has good sex, etc., but you will step out on her or end it because you "think" it might be something better out there. That could have been your "fairy tale" but look what you just did: tossed her away, hurt her, and now she's all bitter and jacked up for future men. LADIES we are NOT off the hook; WE do this as well. We will dog out a GREAT guy for a fool! WE ARE TRIPPIN'!! We must do better if we truly are seeking happiness and want our "fairy tales". I was able to witness a fairy tale for nineteen years. My grandparents had the "fairy tale". They had the type of love that glowed when they were in the same room. I remember being young and always saying "ewwwwww" because after forty-plus years of marriage they would still be all over each other -- IN PUBLIC. Having those two as role models might be what gives me hope. It might be what inspired women like me to continue believing in love after being knocked down time and time again. If my end result is to have a love like the one my grandparents shared that I plan to KEEP HOPE ALIVE!! :-) ~MsiCandi~ To real this full issue of iCandiland E-Mag, go to: http://issuu.com/icandipro/docs/icandi_newsletter__
Dear iCandi, Have you ever felt like you had dibs or rights to someone that wasn't "technically" yours anymore? I feel like I am connected with my children's father. We were high school & college sweethearts. We have 2 children and have had an off an on relationship for the past 7 years. He is currently dating another woman but we still mess around on the side. Like I said we are connected and I feel like he's still mine in a away. He always have and always will come back to me. My friends think I should feel guilty & cut him off completely. But I still feel very much connected to him and him to me. How you ever experience this

Includes abilities in the 9 stages of love, as well as in the following lovability ranking fields: (REF Lovability & Prime Love )
- The 9 Hearts of Love
- The 9 Fields of Love
- The 9 Jewels of Love
- The 9 Roses of Love
- Prime Love Colours and Numbers (completion is wished )
The 9 Stages of Love
0. Ego based. i love means, only me, what for me is important, what i WANT the other must adjust him/herself to what i do and prefer for myself.
1. Deal: i love means to compromise, but as a strategy to reach only me, what for me is important, what i WANT. the other must adjust him/herself to what i do.
2. Winer-Winer: i love means, not only me, but all that for me is important, what i WANT, but also what the other WANT. A deal where we both compromise and receive the maximum of benefits each of us wish seems to be more razonable and productive, more balanced, more appealing for collaboration and ease as self motivation and satisfaction is in both sides to tangibly experienced. But all is still based on what i WANT
3. Collaborate-Cocreate: i love means, we both win, and we win more when we collaborate, when we co-create. What for me is important and for you is important, what i WANT and what you WANT. We find a middle razonable point as common aim to work for. Human nature and life bring us to the same path. To care for each other seems to make more sense. Co-creation is an act of celebration and enjoyment where to flow.
4. We: i love means, what we WANT. according to an agreement we have that is priority in life and what we wish to achieve for both of us. We is clearly more powerful than one or few of us. What our co-created world wants, that is where and how we experience love, as a couple, family, community, culture. We create, love, do, live, care. But there are many WEs still.
5. One-ness : I love means i see you as another me. If i do, i do also caring for your best, realization and benefit, it is not only about we, but about YOU as you are another me. That is what i WANT. But still my perception is filled with what I consider and prefer as ideal for you, as we both are one, what i perceive you are and i am is leading me to make decisions, choices, create life, for all of us as one.
6. Inner-one-ness: I love means i see first within myself all possible expressions of my own core heart. There are many dimensions where i express myself, those have been manifested created by my own core within my own heart. I am all my self expressions and i love my self in all of them. We are one. Then i care for what all this aspects of my self need, first. According to this new process created by fulfilling their need ( a need i know and describe as given by my own heart) i interact with my outer world and by recognize them as non equal but as for having all of us access to same core (the source of all that is), i let the other ones be as they are and do what they do.
7. Power in love. As a being with all divine qualities, powers and capacities being awakened, i act, by knowing all i wish i can manifest. I live my power, i live my bliss, i live my heart. But here i am still blinded by it, by the edges and limits of my own perception and consciousness. I do again what i want as all i do is possible and changes in the whole creation are meant to be done by me. I become one with all i am, within my self and around myself. I create my life, and take responsibility of it. I create my world and develop it, unfold it according to my own will, as for reasons of self enjoyment. But i still do what i WANT.
8. Divine LOVE. As a divine being i act in accordance and alignment with divine principle, following the path of prime self union (union with the source of all that is), by applying divine self responsibility in every action (the path of divine action), in harmony with nature of every single dimension or possible realm or state of consciousness. from my original core i reach the one of prime source, my origen and destiny in every action, in every breath. My world is seen by divine perception, is sensed by divine senses, is created by divine action, is itself divine as for the divine principles it is aligned within and with. While i live and create as a divine being i still align my self to the aspects of the divine i WANT.
9. Prime self union. I am expression of prime source itself. All i do, in my perfected imperfection and imperfected perfection is perfect and right, as well as all is right and have a place and sense for divine perception in prime self union. All my weaknesses are strength and strength weaknesses, all my power is love and my love power, all events in my past have been perfectly and imperfectly developed, unfolded, and that is will be and have been right; all i do in any form and any realm and dimension of my self is perfect by perception of prime source, the core and nature of all that is itself. There is nothing i am have been or will be that can escape from being source self expression itself there for all is right in all times, realms, dimensions, universes within my inner world and with-in the world i live. My love is expressed through all that is, i am all the qualities of the divine expressing itself consciously, subconsciously, seen or invisible, known or unknown. I am in prime self union, have been, will be. there for i am love, prime love, being self express through my own heart and my own life and my own action.
9+ I Teach love through my life, in prime self union

Hypnosis is widely used for children as it is a safe and successful option for the treatment of many common childhood problems.
A skilled therapist can readily move into the child's world and using game style interactions quickly elicit trust followed by the desired change. Many problems may be resolved quickly and efficiently reducing levels of anxiety and the need for drugs.
Hypnosis id safe for all ages, however achieving a level of good communication with very young children is the challenge for the hypnotherapist. Most children find it interesting and initially exciting, like a new game or toy. If a number of sessions are required, then maintaining the child's interest is just as important as going through the standard treatment protocol.
Yes, children generally respond very quickly to hypnotherapy and many ongoing problems may be eliminated rapidly and effectively. The use of hypnosis can reduce levels of anxiety and stress.
Nocturnal enuresis is often seen to be a problem when a child passes a certain age. Most children naturally grow out of it, gaining control of all their muscles at an unconscious level. If your child needs help hypnotherapy for bedwetting is very effective and will provide both input to the child and support and guidance for you.
Hypnotherapy is useful for helping people of all ages overcome fear of the dentist. This includes a general fear as well as more specific fears such as gagging. Some hypno-therapists communicate with the dentist who is often willing to assist in the whole process.
Childhood obesity has fast become a major problem in the west and is getting worse. If we as parents don't tackle the problem fast we will be setting our children up to experience health problems, pain and suffering, we have rarely seen ourselves.
Diseases which previously only afflicted the older person including diabetes, heart disease and many cancers are occurring in children and teenagers in greater numbers and the predominant causative factors are obesity, smoking and alcohol abuse. Our children are in danger of suffering extreme pain for years and dying prematurely if we don't do something fast. Hypnosis is extremely useful especially when combined in a holistic program.
There is a wide range of fears and phobias and a balance has to be taken between a child just being extra sensitive, nervous or apprehensive compared to a problem being a severe hindrance in their every day life. Hypnosis is a great help with all fears and phobias for children and adult alike.
Phobias: for more information click here...
Many children of all ages suffer from exam nerves and nerves associated with the pressure of succeeding at school. Hypnosis can help enormously in this area providing support for both you and your child.
In addition to nervousness there are a number of solutions to help students of all ages cope with the act of studying and memorising for exams. Techniques like self hypnosis and speed reading may be taught enabling students and adults to cope with large amounts of material while improving comprehension and memory.
Hypnotherapy is frequently utilized during the whole pre and post natal process. It may help with improving confidence, fears, pain relief and post natal depression. In addition hypnosis has demonstrated great success in fertility treatments for both men and women.

Viacom Shows Take Jabs at Cable Operators
If Viacom is concerned about its upcoming carriage talks with Time Warner Cable, some of the shows on Comedy Central haven't gotten the message. This week, episodes of TheDaily Show and South Park out-and-out insulted cable and the people who run it.On TheDaily Show Tuesday, Jon Stewart and John Oliver were discussing how dysfunctional Congress was with the government shutting down, when Oliver compared Washington to a particular cable operators.
Oliver noted that congressmen have a 90% re-election rate while Congress has a 10% approval rating. "The only previous instance of that level of disapproval combined with that level of market retention is Time Warner Cable. That's the only on-record instance," Oliver said.
"You're saying that Congress is the Time Warner Cable of democracy," Steward responded.
"I know it's incredibly harsh, but it's also incredibly fair," Oliver said.
That was followed on Wednesday by South Park's depiction of a man introduced as the president of your local cable company who announced, "your local cable company had decided to drop all networks that sexualize spousal homicides from regular programming."
At a time when operators' tolerance for buying programming that combine popular channels with some that are barely watched, the animated executive explained how the cable industry works.
"Those still wishing to view true-crime networks will now need to purchase a separate package, which will require a technician to service your cable box every night from 2 to 3 a.m. and must include the purchase of 300 channels of Portuguese," he said while fondling his own nipples. "We realize it may be an inconvenience to you, and we hope you will voice all your concerns to us because at your local cable company, the customer is always our bitch."
But as CBS' negotiations with Time Warner Cable showed, the cable operators are often the programmers' "bitch," which means freedom of speech for Stewart and company for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely beautiful. Nice heavy glass. I Purchased this for my older son's birthday and I am going to buy another one for my younger son. Purchased this from my older sons birthday and I am going to buy another one for my younger son. Absolutely love it!!
I absolutely love this tee - great quality-it's so soft ! Does not shrink when washed and dried , Will be buying more from this company for sure !
Okay, you got me on a Facebook ad. We love all of your products and proudly wear your shirts. This though .. SO COOL. My husband loved it and it's a great statement piece for our bar. I'm about to order the glasses to match.
Bought this due to the awesome look and loving nineline. Soon after storing my favorite bourbon in it, I noticed it was leaking said bourbon out from the bullet. Nineline made it right by a refund. This is the third time I have tried leaving this review, but curiously it doesnt post. Nineline is a great company just want folks to know the possibilities of it leaking.

With the rising popularity of veganism, I spoke to JAMES CRISP, NADJA & BRENDA – three enthused vegan activists about what veganism means to them.
ADAM CROOKES: What do you think made you want to become vegan?
BRENDA: I had been planning to become vegan for as long as I can remember. As a kid it just always made sense to me. I couldn't see why it was necessary to use animals in any way. Culture and family kind of held me back, but as soon as I moved out, I became a vegetarian and later, vegan. Ethics and health had a lot to do with my 'final switch over' to veganism. It finally stuck when I realised it was a win-win.
ADAM CROOKES: Why do you think it is growing in popularity?
BRENDA: Activism – one-hundred percent. That and the fact that it's easy to market. No one actually is comfortable with hurting and killing animals so it's easy to sell and become trendy fast. It's also an ecological choice, and we're all starting to think more about the environmental impact of our consumer choices.
JAMES: Veganism is growing because of how easy it is to access information now. Documentary's like 'Cowspiracy' and 'What The Health' on Netflix. 'Land Of Hope And Glory' on YouTube. These documentaries and other footage are helping to show the public what the meat, dairy and egg industries have done such a good job at hiding from us in the past. In 2018, there is no longer any need to eat the flesh or drink the breast milk of other animals when there are are so many healthier choices that don't involve the suffering of these innocent animals that we would usually claim to love or say are cute.
ADAM CROOKES: What are some of the big myths and misconceptions about veganism?
JAMES: That vegans are skinny and nutrition deficient. Some of the top athletes are now vegan – bodybuilding, boxing, tennis and more. They are out performing their rivals and are only eating plants. Protein is in all plant foods. A whole foods plant based diet is the optimal diet for our species. Aiding workout recovery time, reducing inflammation and reversing heart disease.
BRENDA: There are too many [myths]! But the biggest would be that it is some sort of sacrifice – it's not! Veganism isn't giving anything up, it's simply not taking what never belonged to you. I enjoy food and my life just as much as ever, if not more, and it doesn't take any will power or huge amount of focus to simply read a few ingredients lists or ask waiters a few extra questions. And with all the alternatives we have now, and apps and information available, it's honestly the easiest choice ever.
NADJA: People think that we can't live and thrive on a vegan diet. There are so many myths, like that we need calcium from cows milk, or protein from animal flesh, when in fact those products harm your body and you can thrive on a vegan diet, like many vegans and even athletes prove.
ADAM CROOKES: How has it affected your life?
BRENDA: I have become active, which has just opened me up to fighting for justice in so many ways. I've learned more about nutrition and the environment. I feel more compassionate than ever and I also have met the most incredible people this past year who are as passionate as I am about animal rights and living in balance with the world. It's honestly been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
NADJA: It gave my life a lot more value. I live healthier on a plant based diet. Also I'm grateful that I made the connection, for me it's like waking up. I'm happy that I can help others make the connection too, aligning our core values of love and compassion with our actions.
ADAM CROOKES: Some researchers have found that veganism may not give people a strong amount of nutrition. Do you have any thoughts on that?
BRENDA: There's this big health debate when it comes to veganism, and although I'm not a doctor or dietitian, I can definitely say that there's enough evidence to support that humans can survive and thrive on only plants and in fact their health benefits greatly for it. This is anecdotal but I've never felt better and I'm coming up on year four of no animal products.
ADAM CROOKES: Is veganism hard?
JAMES: No, it's so easy. Veganism is only hard when you think of yourself. As soon as you remember there is a victim involved, then it becomes easy. You don't miss out on anything when you become vegan, you just realise that the animal flesh, skin fur, eggs and milk weren't yours to take to begin with.
NADJA: It's so easy! Moving your arm a few centimeters in the supermarket to buy almond or soy milk instead of cows milk is not an inconvenient thing to do. Being vegan is easier than ever in this day and age. Also veganism is just non-participation. You not participate in the crime of eating animals. But being active is the real moral baseline. Actively trying to stop others from harming animals, like educating them about the consequences of their food choices and show them another way.
ADAM CROOKES: What would you say is the most difficult thing about being vegan?
JAMES: The most difficult thing is simply how you now view the world around you. There are animal products everywhere. When you walk down the 'meat' isle all I now see is a graveyard. Chopped up body parts that now no longer resemble the innocent animal it once was. But things are changing and this world that was once so cruel and brutal to animals will soon not just be a place that claims to love animals but actually does.

Published by hockeybuzz.com, 6-27-2018
Workouts begin today at HarborCenter for the Buffalo Sabres Development Camp.
Here's the schedule via sabres.com:
Wednesday, June 27: 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 4 to 5 p.m.
Thursday, June 28: 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Friday, June 29: 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. and 10:45 to 11:45 a.m.
Saturday, June 30: French Connection Tournament: 10:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Forty-two players are scheduled to be in attendance including 2018 first-overall pick Rasmus Dahlin as well as Buffalo's other five draftees from this past weekend:
--LHD Mattias Samuelsson, 32nd-overall
--C Matej Pekar, 94th
--LHD Linus Lindstrand Cronholm, 117th
--RHD Miska Kukkonen, 125th
--LHD William Worge Kreu, 187th
Center Eric Cornell represents the ranking member of the 2014 draft class as he was selected 44th-overall that year while Worge Kreu, as the last pick in for Buffalo in the 2018 draft, represents the newest member.
Cornel is amongst eight players who played at the pro-level last season while GM Jason Botterill, AGM Randy Sexton and Co. invited 12 undrafted players, two of which have already been signed by the Rochester Americans to AHL contracts--LW, Pascal Aquin (Charlottetown, QMJHL) and D, Tobie Paquette-Bisson (Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, QMJHL.) The invitees include six wingers, four defensemen and two goalies.
Outside of the eight who played at the pro level and the invitees, the breakdown of where the rest of the prospects played can be found here. Ten players attended college last year, nine played overseas, two (Samuelsson and Pekar) played in the USHL and one player, Cliff Pu, was in Canadian Junior.
Having said that, it's probably best to remember that this is a development camp and not training camp. Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen put it this way when talking about his camp. "I've always said this: 'It's not an evaluation camp in July. It's an educational camp — fun, teaching what it means to be a pro," he told the Columbus Dispatch. "We'll evaluate them when we get to hockey season. Not in July."
Which is how it should be as players are coming in from all areas of the world having finished their seasons at different time and having vastly different periods away for team workouts and on-ice competition.
However, the Sabres brass and those in attendance will come away from the workouts and eventual 3-on-3 with some thoughts on these prospects and where they might be later this summer and into the fall. We're very familiar with the likes of Casey Mittelstadt and Brendan Guhle, who will take on more of a leadership role for this group, but there are others who have plenty of intrigue surrounding them, as well as another group that are looking to make a great impression. Here are some players to look at during this week's Sabres Development Camp.
LHD, Rasmus Dahlin
Obviously. Sabreland will get the opportunity to watch some of the traits that make him so special, like his skating and stickwork and in the 3-on-3 they'll be able to see how he navigates in tight areas.
LW, Alexander Nylander
With him it will be his size and the shape that he's in. Everything is critical for him right now in the eyes of the organization. "Probably the most important offseason of training in his young life, really," Sexton said to the gathered media post-draft on Saturday. "It's critical for him."
We know he has the skill, which will be on display, but where's that compete. Hopefully we'll see
some of that in the 3-on-3.
LW, Victor Olofsson
Will be great to see first-hand just what kind of sniping ability the SHL's leading goal-scorer last season has
LHD, Lawrence Pilut
Pilut signed with Buffalo after winning the Swedish Hockey League's Defenseman of the Year Award. This camp will be more about his skating and stickwork as opposed to the way he loves to jump into the play in games.
RHD, Casey Fitzgerald
The right side on defense will have openings in the near future and the offensive-minded Fitzgerald has had his name brought up by Sabres brass recently. For him it will be if he's improved upon his skating which was pretty solid to begin with. Botterill and Co. will get the opportunity to see if he's improved in those areas and hopefully can figure out why his overall numbers have dropped since his banner freshman season of 27 points (4+23) in 39 games with a plus-27 rating for Boston College (Hockey East.)
RHD, Will Borgen
Another d-man who has opportunity in front of him on the right side of the defense corps. Borgen got a good taste of the AHL this year while playing in eight games for the Amerks after leaving St. Cloud State early. The defensive defenseman is an excellent skater and he keeps it simple in his own end. Maneuverability in tight should be his focus although he should be able to handle any of the forwards thrown at him in competitive drills.
G, Jonas Johansson
As part of the 2014 draft class, Johansson is one of the "elder statesmen" of camp. The 6'5" 214 lb. Johansson made the move to North America full time last season and struggled while spending most of his time in the ECHL. Last year's backup to Linus Ullmark, Adam Wilcox, just re-signed with Rochester and looks to be the starter. Unless Johansson can make an impression, beginning this week.
LW, Linus Weissbach
Enjoy his hands and skating ability. The seventh-rounder (2017, 192nd) continued to impress after making the jump from Tri-City of the USHL (19g, 28a in 49 games) to the University of Wisconsin
where he scored 26 points (10+16) in 34 Big-10 games.
D, Griffin Luce
Staying in the Big-10, Luce has the bloodlines (grandfather Don Luce is a former Sabre) and some impressive size (6'3" 214 lbs.) When his Michigan Wolverines played Mittelstadt and his Minnesota Golden Gophers, Luce was relentless in his pursuit and coverage of Buffalo's 2017 first-rounder showing the ability to stay with talented players. A solid player with definite hockey tools.
C, Cliff Pu
Pu is back again and look for him to take charge in his third development camp. The 6'2" 191 lb. center just signed his entry-level deal after working on his all-around game in the OHL this season.

More great celebs that we lost in 2011
Andy Rooney: November 4
Journalist Andy Rooney will forever be remembered as the curmudgeonly commentator who offered his colorful (and elderly) take on the modern world. He died at 92 just one month after his final appearance on 60 Minutes.
Falk: June 23
Peter Falk, best remembered for playing the deceptively sharp detective Lt. Columbo, died in his Los Angeles home at the age of 83 after suffering with Alzheimer's for the last four years of his life.
I remember watching him nearly every week...bless his heart..I don't think that I heard about him passing. RIP Andy And I use to watch Columbo with my grandma..I remember that show very well..how sad to see so many great celebs passing on..
I know that there are others too..I feel for each of them and all of the family/friends, thoughts and prayers to them. These are just the ones that I recognized right off and remember watching..so sad!

Blue Whale
|Quick Facts
|150 tons
|Primarily Krill
|90 ft (average)
|All oceans
Where Do Blue Whales Live?
How Long is a Blue Whale?
The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus), is the largest animal to have ever lived on Earth! Blue Whales are also one of the fastest whales. They can cruise at 10 mph and reach burst speeds of 30 mph. Blue Whales can reach a length of 90 to 110 feet and a weight of up to 150 tons (300,000 pounds). At birth calves are about 27 feet long and grow quickly consuming 100 gallons of milk a day. The diet of Blue Whales is made up of one of the smallest animals in the sea, krill. The whales engulf hundreds of gallons of water to strain the crustaceans through their baleen.
A Global Whale
Blue Whales are found in all the world's oceans. There are distinct population areas around the globe of the Blue Whale with these groups sharing genetics and acoustic signatures. Within their group range, Blue Whales will seek warmer waters for breeding and calving and seek out colder areas for feeding. There are three main regions for the Blue Whale: North Atlantic, North Pacific, and the southern hemisphere. Areas that have distinct populations are the Sea of Cortez, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean, and California.
Since Blue Whales will inhabit the entire breadth of an ocean basin they must communicate over incredible distances. When the sea conditions are optimum whales can communicate over an entire ocean basin… as in the distance between Hawaii and California. The male Blue Whale demonstrates his "fitness" to females by having a loud and deep song. Females can determine and choose her mate by comparing these calls. Blue whales have the lowest frequency call of all the whales. Lower frequency sounds travel further in the ocean and can aid in maintaining social structures over vast distances.
Human Impact
The only predators of Blue Whales are humans and Orcas. In the 20th century alone there was over 300,000 killed due to whaling. The population is in recovery and averages 2,000 whales off California. In the southern ocean off Antarctica there only a few thousand whales, and thus they remain endangered. Blue Whales, along with other whale species, have been granted protection from commercial hunting by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) since 1946.
Conservation Information
Whalers began hunting blue whales after the invention of harpoon guns. The pre-whaling population of blue whales quickly fell from about 350,000 to 1,000 in the 1920s. Blue whales became so scarce by 1966 that the International Whaling Commission declared blue whales a protected species worldwide. The Endangered Species Act also protects blue whales.
The present population worldwide is estimated to be 15,000 whales; with 2,000 of these living in CA coastal waters. This is the largest concentration of blue whales.

By Sidney Backstrom, Executive Director, Business Management, G-CON Manufacturing, Inc.
In the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry several factors have converged to change the landscape in regard to facilities: the wide scale adoption of single use equipment, greater emphasis on reducing capital expenditures, the need for "in country for country" production, and the advent of personalized medicines and industry focus on orphan drug production to name a few. Such factors militate against the traditional brick and mortar facility approach which is designed for the forecasted global production demand of a blockbuster quantity of product. The expense to build and operate, time to build and validate, single-use nature, and risk of product loss based on building a facility based on forecasted demand, have caused the Goliaths and Davids of the industry to seek a better solution. The search for that solution will inevitably lead the tasked construction project manager to a single word that is often incanted in the facilities world – flexibility. he or she will look for it or be told that he or she needs it in the chosen option.
What does this profound incantation mean you ask? One can look high and low in white papers, presentations, articles and the like but at least with respect to the pharma and biopharma industry there does not seem to be a settled upon definition.
So let's begin at the beginning. What is the definition of flexibility? Merriam-Webster defines flexible or flexibility as "characterized by a ready capability to adapt to new, different, or changing requirements." Applying that definition to pharma and/or biopharma production, what does that mean? Substituting in the subject we are concerned with, the facility has to be readily capable to adapt to new, different or changing requirements. In the pharma and biotech context new, different or changing requirements seem most closely related to:
The question is, do any of the current facility schemes allow for this flexibility? To answer the question we must consider what the current facility options are. The options readily available today are: modular construction onsite, modular construction off-site, stick-built construction and/or pre-fabricated cleanroom modules. Defining each further is in order. Modular construction onsite is generally considered as building processing space using modular panels at the ultimate production location. There are many companies that provide such panels. Some even provide for the installation of the panels. There are many cleanroom contractors who can assemble such panels onsite.
Modular construction offsite is generally considered to be building an entire facility at a manufacturing location module by module, then erecting a structure entirely of those modules and connecting the modules, testing the facility for functionality and then disassembling the facility, shipping the modules individually and re-erecting the facility with the modules at the ultimate production site. Stick built construction is commonly regarded as building internal infrastructures, cleanrooms and ancillary spaces, at the production site. Gypsum wall board is generally used if panels are not. Pre-fabricated cleanrooms are offsite built modules that provide clean space including floors, walls, ceilings, windows and doors in appropriate finishes. In some instances such modules include their own mechanical space where automation PLCs, HVAC, fire suppression systems, utility connections, etc. are housed.
Analysis of the Options – Flexible or Not
Modular construction onsite. Using panel systems, it is not hard to appreciate that there is some flexibility benefit. In a greenfield or brownfield application, the cleanroom build out can morph to the layout of the host facility. If the host facility is a large rectangular clear span facility, the cleanrooms can be built in a large rectangular arrangement. If the host facility is partially built out and has columns in the unimproved area, the panelized approach can be contained in that space. The approach can be likened to making "houses" out of playing cards. There is no inherent limit to the size and shape.
But is this apparent flexibility valuable? In deciding that, it should be noted that every other option mentioned above has the same flexibility. Each, whether it is stick built or offsite modular, can be sized according to the client's desires. So this apparent flexibility really has no relative value. A more important analysis would be to consider whether modular construction onsite can meet the new, different or changing requirements identified above. That analysis is below:
Change in capacity – modular construction onsite, while initially flexible in terms of size and shape, is not very malleable once it is built. Wall panels, doors, ceilings and the like are permanently placed in position. Ductwork and utilities are provided in intricate detail above the cleanroom structures. Adding to or reducing the footprint of the fixed structures requires onsite construction or demolition, which will interrupt ongoing production. Once construction and/or demolition are complete, rebalancing of the HVAC system and revalidation of the cleanroom space will be required.
Moving production capacity – if there is a desire to move production from one facility to the next or even from city or country to another, it is universally accepted that deconstructing the panels, moving then and reconstructing them would not be feasible or time efficient.
Modular construction offsite. This approach has been employed by a number of entities, some still operating and some not. While the concept has visceral appeal, in practice there are shortcomings. On the appealing side, being able to build offsite ostensibly provides the ability to build without permitting delays and without the need for the client to oversee the construction onsite. Permitting though is not foregone but only delayed as permitting for the construction onsite will still be required. Construction oversight will also be required offsite at the manufacturing site and then again upon delivery. So these two benefits are really just extending the time before such activity is required. How does modular construction offsite fare as it relates to new, different or changing requirements? Let's consider the points previously considered:
Stick built.This method is probably the best known option for the life sciences industry. Building cleanrooms in place within a facility is well understood both in terms of its benefits and shortcomings. It is similar to the modular construction onsite in terms of being construction onsite, requiring permits, initial flexibility of design, etc.
But it is even less flexible than the paneled approach. In the paneled approach, walls can be moved more easily than a stick built wall which is most often gypsum board covered with epoxy. Moving a wall in this option means demolition. Both suffer in regard to changes in utilities or HVAC distribution. Centralized distribution of both requires adding capacity and rebalancing with respect to HVAC. Assessing this methodology against the six categories of change, it fares slightly worse than the modular construction onsite scoring the same on four areas (change in capacity, process and regulatory and ability to move) and about the same on two (product change and contamination).
Pre-fabricated cleanrooms. The relatively new kid on the block, pre-fabricated cleanrooms emerged onto the scene almost ten years ago. These cleanrooms are built offsite, tested, shipped and then put in place in the production facility. See Figure 2, (below) courtesy of G-CON Manufacturing, Inc. The most advanced form includes their own HVAC systems within the cleanroom footprint providing compactness and autonomy from the facility or other cleanrooms. Such a characteristic is a major distinguishing factor in regard to other options and has been recognized by leaders in the industry as a major advantage. They can function alone or as part of a cleanroom cluster where larger processes can be accommodated. An analysis of the five points considered for this option is required.
Change in capacity – While it may seem that changes in capacity would not be possible with such discrete units, the contrary is true. New units can be added when needed and without interrupting the existing process. They can be added in a linear fashion or added to the existing cluster via the use of a corridor or previously placed knock out panel. A reduction in capacity in this context does not mean that previously placed units are shut down. Rather, they can be disconnected and moved out of the facility for deployment elsewhere.
So What Have We Learned?
Having reviewed the leading facility options and seeking to determine if flexibility is a characteristic of each, we have learned about each offering. We have learned that all offer initial flexibility, i.e., the ability to design what is desired. But this flexibility is no different from the flexibility offered by a traditional brick and mortar building. And this flexibility is really not valuable relative to other options because all options offer it. Some options offer additional flexibility, the ability to morph into a space already built – onsite modular, stick built and pre-fabricated cleanrooms. But only one proves to offer flexibility beyond that – flexibility once the system has been built and placed. Prefabricated autonomous cleanrooms stand well above the rest in terms of their ability to meet the true definition of flexibility, the ability to meet new, different or changing requirements. So if true flexibility is desired, autonomous pre-fabricated cleanrooms stand well above the rest.

I'm very late to the party, but I finally got my hands on a copy of Taylor Swift's fifth studio album, 1989. I don't think I can be considered a "Swiftie" yet, but since I'm a fan of all things pop, it's no surprise that I like T. Swizzle's music. I'll admit, I blasted "22" on my 22nd birthday last year.
Highlights of 1989 for me are definitely "Blank Space," "Shake It Off," and "Welcome to New York." My commute to NYC every Thursday now has an official theme song!
It seems like Taylor was the most successful celebrity of 2014. The numbers definitely support that. With 1989, she became the first artist to have three albums sell one million or more copies in a week. The album sold 1.287 million copies in one week. That makes it the most successful record debut since 2002.
So if 2014 was the year of Swift, what exactly happened?

Instead of one new freight car this week, we thought we'd bring back all of them! Our Freight Car Friday blog has been very well received and we thank you for all of your compliments and comments. One frequently heard suggestion was to create an easy-to-search index of these articles so you could go back and catch up or revisit. There have after all been more than 100 of these posts now.
So we've added a new tab to the top menu here on the blog. Just click on "Freight Car Friday Index" to take you to a complete index of all of these articles. The index has been categorized to help you find what you want, whether it is information about a specific type of car, modeling tips, help with an industry for your layout, or just plain old reading fun. Because of this, some articles are listed twice if they were appropriate for multiple topics and we've included some good reference pages published in the other six days of the week to make this reference as complete as possible.
Don't worry, this doesn't mean we've reached the end of the series! Freight car topics are already lined up well into 2014 and we'll continue to update the index with the new releases (probably about once a month.) So this Friday, take a look at the new index and read about the cars that interest you most – whether it's an old favorite or a post you missed the first time around. We'll be back next week with another all-new topic.

Catherine Bell is a British-born Scottish-Iranian actress known for her roles in many television series like Major Sarah Mackenzie in the 1997-2005 series JAG, Cassie (Cassandra Nightangel) in The Good Witch, Denise Sherwood in Army Wives which ran from 2007 to 2013 and many others. Find out here, where she is and what she is up to today and also learn about her family and physique.
Catherine Bell Bio, Age
The Briton was born on 14 August 1968 in London England. Her father Peter Bell is Scottish while her mother Mina Ezzati is an Iranian. Her father worked with an oil company as an architect while her mother Mina had emigrated to London to study nursing. The two felt an instant connection between them and married not too long after. However, when Catherine was two years old, they divorced and this saw Catherine being in the custody of her mother. She was subsequently raised by her mother's family which eventually moved to California's San Fernando Valley. The family traditionally comprised of her grandmother and grandfather.
Her family was a diverse one and Catherine Bell could be said to have had a balanced childhood. Her grandparents as you would expect were Muslims, they spoke Persian in their home but she was raised in Catholicism and even attended a Baptist summer camp at a time.
Growing up, she was influenced by the Californian culture that surrounded her; Catherine liked to skateboard, play football and was even a tomboy as a teenager. She schooled at Our Lady of Corvallis High School in Los Angeles at which time she took a fancy to modelling. She gained admission to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to pursue a degree in research and medicine but dropped out in her sophomore year when American Beauty, a modelling company offered her a modelling job in the land of the rising sun – Japan. However, not much came out of her modeling venture as she would later return to the U.S.A.
Catherine Bell began studying at the Beverly Hills Playhouse with Milton Katselas when she returned to the States. At this same time, she worked as a massage therapist; probably something she learned while in Japan and had some high profile clients like Peter Gabriel, a singer and many others.
Her debut acting role came on Sugar and Spice, a 1990 short-lived sitcom and this was followed by her role as Isabella Rossellini's nude body double for the 1992 film Death Becomes Her. The year 1994 saw her star in Men of War by Dolph Lundgren and the following year, she appeared in a three-line role in an episode of JAG, the NBC television series. NBC canceled the show and this paved the way for CBS to take it up and restructure the series. They then incorporated the character of a female marine lawyer named Sarah Mackenzie which was subsequently played by our dear Catherine Bell after she applied for and won it. She continued in this role, contributing to and enjoying its successes until it ended in 2005.
In the year 2007, she starred in the Lifetime drama series Army Wives as Denise Sherwood, the wife of a U.S Army lieutenant colonel. The talented actress also played the role of Cassie, the lead character of the all the Good Witches series; The Good Witch's Gift (2010), The Good Witch's Family (2011), The Good Witch's Charm (2012), The Good Witch's Destiny (2013), and The Good Witch's Wonder (2014). In addition to playing a role, she was also a co-executive producer of the series.
Other works which she has got credit for include Last Man Standing, Love Finds Its Way (2017) and a couple of others. She got nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television for her role in The Triangle in 2006.
Family – Daughter
Catherine Bell was formerly a married woman. She met screenwriter, actor and production assistant Adam Beason during their filming of the 1992 film; Death Becomes Her. The two hit it off without much ado and were married on May 8, 1994. Their marriage saw to the birth of two children; a daughter born in 2003 and named Gemma and a son born in 2010 and named Ronan. They lived in a 700-square-foot faux-Tuscan-style mini-mansion in Calabasas, California before they sold the house in 2010 and separated in 2011. Their divorce was finalized in September 2015 and since then, she has not been in another known relationship.

Where Is She Today?
Since the year 2012, Bell has been living with her friend and a fellow Scientologist, photographer and party planner known as Brooke Daniells, in Los Angeles. The two share a lot in common, especially their religion; Scientology. Scientology is a religious system that focuses on the acquisition of self-knowledge and spiritual fulfilment through a series of graded courses and training. The religion was founded by American science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in the year 1955.
Scientologist Catherine Bell has attained the Scientology state of Clear and is deeply committed to the religion. She has supported in no small way, the Scientology's Hollywood Education and Literacy Project and before now, in September 2005, she helped promote the gala opening of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (a Scientology supported group), "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" museum and the following year in 2006, she appeared in a Scientology music video titled United which was aimed at promoting human rights.
