View Up-to-Date NFL Championship Odds
The Broncos opened as 6.5-point favorites over the Patriots following their narrow seven-point victory over the Chargers last Sunday. Oddsmakers immediately realized that they made a mistake because the line for that game dropped all the way down to 4.5 with money coming in on the Patriots. But according to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the line up a little again, with Denver now listed at -5.5.
As for the total in the New England-Denver matchup, it opened at 54.5 and has slowly been on the rise ever since. It's reached as high as 56.5 at some online sports books, while other places have the number listed at it 55.5 or 56. The over is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these two teams and 7-2 in the last nine meetings in Denver.
The NFC title game hasn't since as much line movement throughout the week. Even though most of the money is coming in on the 49ers, the Seahawks remain a 3.5-point favorite at most books. At one point earlier this week, the number did drop to 3 but it quickly was bet back up to 3.5.
As for the total, it opened at 40.5 and immediately was bet down to 40. The under kept getting bet as the number dropped to 39.5 and now 39, which is where it currently sits at most books. With the under hitting in four of the last five meetings between these two teams, some books even list the total as low as 38.5.
The AFC championship game will take place this Sunday at 3:00PM ET in Denver while the NFC title match will occur following the Broncos-Patriots at 6:30PM ET from Seattle.

Sebum is a natural oil that all healthy skin produces to keep the skin moisturized. Oily skin is the result of the sebaceous glands overreacting which causes excess sebum production, therefore causing oily skin. This can cause a problem as oily skin can be prone to spots and acne if the pores become blocked. There are several causes of excess oil production of the skin, these can include humidity, stress, using products that are too emollient, hormonal disorders or a genetic predisposition.
One of the main concerns for people with oily skin is to choose a moisturizer that will not further increase the problem of excess oil. However there are moisturizers that can nourish and revitalize your skin, some may even help reduce oil and shine.
To apply moisturizer for oily skin firstly you must cleanse and tone your skin. Toning your skin is important as it helps to remove any dirt as well as any excess oil your cleanser may have missed. It also helps the moisturizer absorb more effectively into your skin. After you have applied toner, gently massage your moisturizer onto your skin. If you find your moisturizer leaves your face shiny, then use a tissue or blotting paper to blot off the excess product.
Now the first step to choosing a moisturizer is to choose a product that is oil-free, because the last thing you want to do is to put more oil on top of your skin. Choose a product that is more watery and less rich and thick. Also look for a moisturizer that is noncomedogenic. Noncomedogenic means that it will not clog up your pores. If you find your face gets very shiny throughout the day then choose a moisturizer with mattifying properties.
Here is the list of best moisturizers for oily skin:
Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturizer Oil-free
This moisturizer is fantastic for those with shiny skin, especially around the t-zone. It also gives a nice matte finish to the skin. Even though it is oil-free it still is able to effectively hydrate your skin giving you a gorgeous glow. This is probably one of the best moisturizers for oily skin types.
Credit: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/484157Clean and clear advantage oil free acne moisturizer
This is one of the more affordable and easy to obtain moisturizers. Clean and clear advantage oil free acne moisturizer is recommended for those with oily skin that also have problem with acne and blemishes. The formula glides onto the skin and is very light weight so you will feel like you have nothing on. To help treat blemishes and acne it uses Salicylic Acid, which is a common ingredient which calms and reduces acne.
Philosophy Hope In A Jar(TM) Oil-Free
This is another oil-free moisturizer which your skin will love. It gives your skin a nice matte appearance with added antioxidants to protect your skin from the environment (such as pollution). The formula is a nice light-weight fluid, perfect to use all day long and best of all, it absorbs surface oil so it will not clog up your pores.

It was only last year that the young, talented Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin shocked the world at the Vuelta Espana, weathering attack after attack to hang on to the red jersey for weeks, only to lose it on the penultimate day of the three-week event. It was a heart breaking, inspired ride, and the Giant TCR that Tom Dumoulin and most of Team Giant-Alpecin rode, will be on display in another couple of days, when the Tour de France starts on July 2nd.
It's always inspiring to see the bikes we sell on the grand stage. We can watch the tour on the shop TV's, see the competitors descend Mount Ventoux at sixty miles per hour and then walk over and put our hands on the technology they're riding.
A couple of weeks ago we posted an article on the Felt Z5 and the explosion of the endurance bike market. We went on and on about how most of our customers prefer the fit of these bikes, and how a comfortable bike translates into long term speed. Well, it's important to note that Giant was one of the pioneers of this movement, coming out with their TCR (Total Compact Road) line of bikes in 1997. With sloping top tubes and a more compact rear triangle, these were one of the first compact geometry road bikes available. And the geometry that Giant engineers came up with years ago, has been replicated and adapted to create the endurance road bikes that every major cycling manufacturer in the world is now making.

ALAN SHEARER is dreading the prospect of a last day Champions League decider at Anfield - after Liverpool edged ahead of Newcastle at the weekend on goals scored.
Sami Hyypia's last-gasp goal meant that Newcastle had to beat Charlton a couple of hours later to stay in touch with the Reds.
And with the sides meeting at Anfield on the final day of the season, Shearer (pictured) said: "It's going to be a two-horse race and I won't be happy going to Anfield with anything less than a four point lead over them.
"This was the most important result of the season without a doubt, and it became even more important when we learned that Liverpool had won.
"It wasn't a problem to us. We expected Liverpool to win anyway. I'd said in the dressing room with 20 minutes left in their game 'Don't put it past them to score a late goal.'
"Everyone has been saying it is going to be a two horse race between us and them and I still think it will be."
Both sides play in Europe this week. Liverpool go to Marseille on Thursday needing victory or a high scoring draw, while Newcastle defend a 4-1 lead in Majorca.
Both sides then travel on Sunday, Newcastle to Bolton and Liverpool to Leicester.
Gerard Houllier will check on the fitness of Emile Heskey and John Arne Riise today.
Heskey was substituted on Saturday after taking a knock in the first half, while Riise was stretchered off in the final minute after receiving a blow to the head.

I was of the country for most of August, so this was a really good trial run to see how passive the rental properties really are! Since I was too busy out having fun, I basically entrusted everything to my fabulous tenants in the Bay Area, and to my property managers out-of-state. Let's see how the properties performed this month…
The results are presented "as is" for each month. If something breaks and I need to spend money on repairs, those charges will show up as an expense for the corresponding property. If there are no issues, no expenses are reported. So, although I do set aside a portion of the net income for vacancy and maintenance reserves (which will inevitably happen), I don't account for them in this report.
Here's the report for August:
Rental Property #1: Bay Area
Rental Property #1 was solid again this month, and rent was collected prior to my trip to Japan. I didn't receive any text messages or e-mails from the tenant while I was away, so I'm hopeful things are still going smoothly here. This tenant is consistently awesome, and although cash flow isn't spectacular, the peace of mind (lack of headaches) really make this unit a winner in my book.
Total cash flow for the month was $447.67.
Rental Property #2: Bay Area
Similar to Rental Property #1, this property also keeps on performing. Rent was also collected on time, prior to my vacation. No complaints here!
Total cash flow for the month was $344.76.
Rental Property #3: Chicago
The first floor tenant (market rate) is spectacular, and basically on par with my Bay Area tenants. Rent payment is a bit more sporadic here, however, and I don't always collect early in beginning of the month. The good news is that she has never missed a month's payment. Sometimes she pays around the middle of the month, but this tenant does take the responsibility to pay the $25 late fee, which she did again this month. I do wish she would consistently pay in the beginning of the month, though, as it really isn't in my interest to nickel and dime her.
The second floor tenant (Section 8) again chipped in $200 this month in rent. She is being served an eviction notice, which I paid $922 for last month. Maybe she thinks these drip payments will make a difference and help her stay? I'm not sure how long this process will drag out, but her move-out date was set by the courts to be on October 28. I am hoping to secure a much better tenant, next time around.
When running cash flow numbers, I originally budgeted 10% of monthly cash flow towards vacancy reserves. I will learn from this eviction experience whether or not that percentage is adequate or not. My guess is that 10% is insufficient (especially for out-of-state investing in Cook County), and I'm anticipating the entire eviction costing me a lot more than that… More clarity (and answers) will come as I navigate through this eviction process.
Rental Property #3 is back to being cash flow positive! 🙂
Total cash flow this month for Chicago came out to be $739.69.
Rental Property #4: Indianapolis
Rental Property #4 has stabilized and I've been able to collect rent on time consistently since the new tenant moved in. August was a great month, and uneventful. Just the way I like it!
Total cash flow this month for Indianapolis came out to be $518.18.
Rental Property #5: Chicago
The first floor tenant is Section 8, and her portion is only $110. Section 8 covers $1,098, or the majority of the rent. This tenant doesn't pay consistently each and every month, but she did pitch in $100 this month, which is nice. She basically paid off her balance in full last month, so I am very glad she is back on track. Her monthly tenant portion is $110, but I am not going to squabble over a measly $10. Consistent payments are all that I am asking for…
The second floor tenants are market, and they have been consistently excellent. Like my other market tenant, they always pay each month, but not necessarily on time either. The good news is that they also do take responsibility seriously and pay the $25 late fee.
One thing I'm observing with these Midwest properties is that rent collection on the first of the month (or even 4th) is not a slam dunk… Even with great market rate tenants, I'm seeing this as a common trend… rent keeps arriving in the middle of the month. This is something that takes some getting used to, especially for someone who lives in and invests in the Bay Area. In contrast, my Bay Area tenants have never paid later than the 5th of each month… I have never collected a late rent fee in the Bay Area…
But in the end, as long the tenants pay off their balance in full each and every month, that's all that really matters. Actually, I've collected quite a bit of rent in the form of late fees, which does pad the cash flow numbers. Still, I would gladly give that up to be able to collect rent at the beginning of the month. I actually have a policy of giving my out-of-state tenants a $20 discount each month if rent is collected before the 4th. Sadly, not a single tenant has taken me up on that offer…
Anyway, cash flow for Rental Property #5 was spectacular again this month.
After all expenses, total cash flow this month was $1,215.34.
Total cash flow for August came out to be $3,265.64. I was able to clear $3,000 this month, which was a relief after failing to break that mark last month (eviction and attorney fees chewed up $922 of cash flow). Overall, things are going well, although I will need a few more months to stabilize unit 2 in Rental Property #3.
With that said, it is interesting to note that I haven't increased my cash flow since I closed on Rental Property #5 back in late February of this year. It's been awhile since I've invested for cash flow… Now that we are getting closer to the end of the year, I can say that I don't anticipate making any more cash flow moves this year to help boost the semi-passive/passive income… Instead, I've actually been going off on a tangent, focusing more on appreciation plays… Lots of details to follow soon on this topic.
My goals for the remainder of the year will be to stabilize my existing units, and to focus on rebuilding cash reserves. Also, since I start a new job in a few weeks, most of my focus and attention will be concentrated on getting settled in.
Still, the end goal of early FI will always depend on cash flow (gotta pay the bills somehow), so that's something that can never be fully ignored! I've been on a break, but hopefully we can come up with some new strategies to help increase the cash flow in 2015!
Fight on!

Sure, why not bicycle across the Zakim at rush hour?
Roving UHub videographer JP from Somerville captured this lad just pedaling across the Zakim around 5:30 p.m., adds:
There were about four other kids. I don't know how or where they got off the highway but I think they must've taken the government center exit because they weren't in the tunnel.
Do you like how UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!
Looks pretty relaxed
Probably safer than a lot of city streets at the same time.
Might be faster than driving
Might be faster than driving the same stretch on a given day, too.
City Streets?
There are pathways all around there that are much safer than either.
Government Center to Kendall Sq. Name the path.
Thoreau path to the overpass
Thoreau path to the overpass over Storrow. Esplanade to the brand new bike flyover. Bike lane on the Longfellow to Kendall. Easy.
is this a thing now? This is like the 2nd one this week...
Come on folks, thats just dangerous.
These people are bicyclists the way city dirt bike tricksters are to motorcyclists. A bunch of people will use this as an opportunity to judge a large community by the actions of a few idiots.
This is at least the third time in recent memory
that a cyclist has been caught on camera using either the Zakim Bridge or the O'Neil Tunnel - and let's not forget the guy on the Expressway as well. If they aren't representative of the average cyclist, and are creating a bad reputation for all cyclists, then why hasn't the cycling community been vocally condemming their actions on line and in the media.
Why don't you read the comments here?
Oh, sorry - might contradict your "theory" about things - can't have that.
Three times? You know how many times I've been cut off by motorists on that bridge while driving? a LOT more than that.
Not a cyclist, but let me take a crack at this
* maybe he didn't see the "no bikes sign"
* maybe there was a blind spot on his bike preventing from seeing he was entering a highway
* possible medical emergency made him dart out onto the interstate
* the onramp could have just jumped out in front of him, obliviously and with headphones on
* one time I had to hit the brakes because I didn't see an on-ramp, they are very unpredictable and should be licensed and insured
And how many cyclists are
And how many cyclists are there in Metro Boston in a given day? I saw at least a dozen on my commute just this morning, and I drove in. In the past year I also saw 2 cars driving on the Minuteman Bikeway and they were not town utility vehicles. How many drivers do stupid things every day yet we don't hear about it?
There are stupid cyclists and there are nice drivers. And everything inbetween.
Zero enforcement
Baker has scaled back transportation maintenance, security, etc. Ya know. All the non-essentials
That's incredibly dangerous
Just imagine how many people, nominally in charge of moving tons of metal, are using one hand and all of their concentration on filming you
Most collisions happen at intersections
I'm not defending the idiots but it's probably safer to bike on the shoulder of I-93 (or cell phone recording them) then it is to do the same on congested city streets.
Of course, the outcome is much worse if you're hit by someone going 75 vs 25.
Are you blaming the
Are you blaming the bicyclists for people potentially crashing while filming? If you need to pick up your phone, call the police if what they are doing is so dangerous. More people die getting hit by inattentive drivers than idiots riding on a shoulder in conditions like this.
I am not
It was a commentary on the people who are like "look how unsafe these cyclists are" while paying more attention to their phone than to the moving giant vehicles they are supposed to be paying attention to
Okay, I was just curious. I
Okay, I was just curious. I wanted to assume that was the case, but some people immediately go there (to blaming the people for having to film).
I don't recall ever
biking over that bridge. I just looked it up and I cannot, googling at a glance, see that it is prohibited ( I do see that there is a bike trail beneath the bridge. I've done this ride I just can't remember it). here's one thing I hope though, for Adam et al: let's always make sure when bitching about a cyclist that the said cyclist is in fact doing something illegal.
Otherwise, one would just be thinking that they are taking the moral high ground while in fact actually just turning into an irritable Uncle Ass Hat.
I can't find the law, so appreciate anyone who can clarify with authority. *But under no circumstances should *legal* travel by bicycle be impugned or otherwise subverted by one's reflex to being an ornery opinionated prick (I am not saying that happened here as such, just didn't like the headline much). There is enough ordinary prickheadedness on the road, and in fact it leads to bodies of dead cyclists much of the time.
On this issue, more clear and concise reporting please, with specific references to laws, so the public can be informed.
Great question! I live in
Great question! I live in Charlestown and drive over the salon everyday, using the on ramp off Rutherford ave. There is indeed a posted, which only grabbed my attention because it had those circles-with-red-lined pictures that ban bikes and horses. $10 bucks to the brave, law-breaking equestrian who first gives it a try...
Interstate Highways are
Interstate Highways are pretty much by definition no bikes.
Yes, the restriction is specifically posted - at least it is at any interstate onramp I normally use around here.
Some states allow bikes on certain parts of Interstate highways
if there is no feasible alternative to riding on them. Generally these are western states where the highways go through deserts and mountain passes, or are the only roads that cross a river. There's no good reason to ride a bike on a Massachusetts interstate.
Pretty sure it's illegal
Don't all highways have signs on the onramps indicating that pedestrians, bicycles, etc are prohibited?
Illegal and unnecessary
I bike through this area all the time and, unlike the putrid backward stupidity of Cambridge St that greets people crossing the Longfellow into Boston, there are pathways all over the damn place in this area.
No excuse for this. Let the cars have their car sewer.
Not pedaling, coasting.
Actually, he is neither "Pedaling as fast as he can," nor even pedaling at all. Per the video, from 0:03–0:04, his left leg is fully extended and not moving, he's just coasting along.
Damn! This cyclist is
Damn! This cyclist is definitely an idiot, yet I'm somehow impressed by his sheer lunacy.
He's moving faster than the car traffic
but, yes, bikes on the interstate are illegal.
future roadkill....
future roadkill....
If there were fewer cars that could be a possibility - like, at 5am or something like that.
Unless you are advocating for murder.
Why did the bicyclist cross the bridge?
To get to the other side.

In the Nick of Time : The Autobiography of John Altman, Eastenders' Nick Cotton Hardback
by John Altman
From the moment he exploded onto our screens in 1985 as 'Nasty' Nick Cotton, uttering the infamous phrase 'Alright, Ma?' John Altman changed the face of TV villains for good. As one of the show's original cast members, he is much admired for his role as the leather-jacket-wearing, chainsmoking son of Dot Cotton in the long-running BBC soap, EastEnders, a role that spanned thirty years.
Since appearing in the very first episode, he has been at the heart of the show, his character central to many famous storylines, to the extent that he was also given his own spin-off episode, The Return of Nick Cotton, in 2000. But there is far more to John's story than Nick Cotton.
This searingly honest autobiography traces the colourful childhood of a desperately shy and art-loving boy growing up in a loving household where he was encouraged to follow his dreams.
But there was always something pulling him to test the boundaries - as a teenager he managed to get himself arrested for drug possession on the way back from a gap year in India, and the experimentation didn't stop there.Yet for all the tales of acting in film, theatre and television, and the people he has known and worked with, there was once a darker side to John's story. For it was the descent into alcoholism that was to test him the most.
It cost him his marriage and almost his sanity, even while his own battle with his demons allowed him to shape Nick Cotton into one of the most memorable soap characters of our times. Now, for the first time, John tells it as it is, in his own inspiring words: the highs and the desperate lows and how, finally, he conquered his addiction for good.

My Chicken Story
I am a fairly new chicken keeper. As of now I have fourteen hens, two baby roosters (cockerals), and four baby hens (pullets). Though I don't live in a typical community (200 acre farm) and my hens spend most of the day free ranging, I feel like I've had enough experience to give some pointers on raising them and maybe you can decide for yourself if you should own them.
Believe it or not, chickens need a lot of attention. My typical day consists of waking up at 6 AM to feed and water them. While I'm out there I also give them some scratch and open up the coop to the run. Around 11 AM I go out and open up the pen so they can run out and exercise. I usually will give them some treats at this point and spend a little time talking to them and (when I have a rooster) playing chase. During this time I am also collecting eggs from the coop. At night, my girls will all make their way to the coop and I go out and collect their food and lock them up for the night. Keep in mind that this is a typical day for adult hens, if you have babies then you will be tending to them all day.
Chickens are pray animals so life ends up being you and them against practically every animal out there. In order to keep them safe you will need to build a solid structure for them to live in. I use two 10x10x6 dog kennels for my hens. Both are fortified with hardware cloth (yes, it's expensive but nothing gets through it) and covered with tarps to block out the elements. I also do a hardware cloth skirt around ten inches out of the coop so nothing can tunnel in. This is just for night time! If you plan to free range them then be prepared to be scaring off the hawks (never shoot a hawk or prey bird) with the shotgun (if you're in the country like me), or making sure that the neighbors dog doesn't get them if you're in the city.
Egg Production
Lets face it, there's nothing better than farm fresh eggs. I love not having to buy eggs and being able to supply friends and family with eggs. I also sell a few cartons a month to help pay for feed costs (the girls practically pay for themselves). However, you have to be aware that egg production drops off in the winter and during molts (when the birds grow new feathers) and when the chickens are stressed. When I lost my last rooster, a few months ago, one of my hens stopped laying and still hasn't started back up. Though it's common for a chicken to live for 8-10 years you could have your girls for as many as 20 years. Your hen may only lay for daily (or close to it) for 5-7 years but will occasionally lay an egg until she passes.

One tried and tested method for parents of fussy babies to put their kids to sleep is to take them for a car ride. But not everyone is up for the effort and expense of multiple rides around the neighbourhood to lull their tot to sleep. Enter Honda.
Honda — yes the car company — developed a new gadget, the Sound Sitter, to bring the car noises to the baby. The company tried out the sounds of 37 different car engines before settling on the sound of the NSX engine as the most effective when it comes to soothing babies.
When researchers tested it out on babies between the ages of six months and 1.5 years, 11 out of 12 seemed to experience comfort while seven showed reduced heart rates.
Honda says this is because the low frequencies of the engine sounds are similar to what babies hear in the womb.
The product is packaged as a red car-shaped soft toy. The company doesn't plan on producing these toys for the public but it has made the sounds of three engines available on its website (scroll all the way to the bottom) and held an event in Japan where it invited parents to come test the toys out.

Warriors of the Great Cities: Tempest's Eye
Tempestâs Eye is a city carved out of the rock of the gigantic Titanspear Mountain, a multi-level metropolis linked together by winch-lifts and cable carriages. The enemies of Order long ago learned to fear the warriors of the Aetherguard, who call Tempestâs Eye their home; as do the Tempest Lords, noble heroes who rule with stern benevolence.
Represent the city of Tempest's Eye in a Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Firestorm campaign quickly and easily with this set of 30 plastic miniatures, designed to represent the forces of Order that live there. Included:
- 1 Lord-Castellant: armed with a Castellantâs halberd and clutching a warding lantern, he comes with a loyal Gryph-hound;

We have no doubt about the benefits that medical cannabis (and all the byproducts Cannabis Oil for example) has on various illnesses and diseases.There is good evidence in robust human clinical trials that CBD holds the most significant range of potent medicinal benefits such as:
- Anti-Oxidant
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Anti-Anxiety
- Anti-Psychotic
- Anti-Carcinogenic
Here at Cannabis Industrial Marketplace we supply you with all the growing and cultivation equipment, supplies and everything else you may need. We provide you with Hydroponics Equipment, POS & Software, Packaging Supplies and more. Visit our website CannabisIMP.com
There is no denying that cannabis is medicinally beneficial no matter what form you are taking it in, or for whatever reason. However with that being said, is there added advantage to using medical marijuana in comparison to recreational marijuana?
While the product may be the same in essence, there are specific differences between the two, whether you are smoking for your health or just simply having a good time. We have put together five advantages we attribute to the use of medical weed vs. recreational weed.
1- CBD Vs. THC Content
It might sound like an obvious place to start, but the fact is that medical cannabis and recreational cannabis are most often differentiated by the amounts of THC and CBD they contain.
CBD is the compound found in the marijuana plant that has been proven to be so beneficial for the treatment of a range of conditions. While THC is also very medicinally beneficial, it is psychoactive which means it will leave you feeling stoned or "high," which is not ideal for many who are suffering.
If you are looking to cannabis for medicinal relief of some sort, it is unlikely that you will reach for a high THC strain of weed, as these can often be disruptive to a normal daily routine. If however, you are reading this with the mindset that you simply want to get stoned, you are less likely to care about the levels of CBD, and most recreational strains that are high in THC will give you just that — a great high!
While it is true that both medical and recreational weed contain THC and CBD, it is much more likely that you are going to benefit from a more potent CBD product if it is medicinal.
Overview: It is undeniable that weed is medically beneficial, no matter what its purpose. But those opting for medicinal cannabis can expect a much higher CBD ratio to THC, and as we now know, it is CBD which holds the most significant range of potent medicinal benefits. In fact, it has been scientifically proven to possess the following properties:
- Anti-Oxidant
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Anti-Anxiety
- Anti-Psychotic
- Anti-Carcinogenic
It is with this point in mind that medicinal cannabis can be argued to have an advantage of recreational.
2 – Legality
It is great to see how far cannabis has come over the past few decades, from being widely misunderstood to now being legal in many states of America! In fact, CBD from hemp is now legal in all 50 states for its impressive list of benefits.
With 30 states across the U.S. that have now legalized marijuana in some form, and nine states having laws that allow for recreational cannabis use – it is unquestionable that people are becoming more aware of the ability of the plant!
This being said, there are still many places across America, as well as the rest of the world, where cannabis is still incredibly frowned upon. Of all 50 states, only nine have allowed cannabis to be consumed for recreational use, which makes it difficult for people to legally obtain it for this reason.
While it can also be a challenge for those who require the flower for medicinal purposes, there are certainly more options open for this than for those who just want to "have a little fun" with the herb.
Overview: If you want to stay on the right side of the law, chances are you are going to seriously struggle to get your hands on recreational cannabis in most areas of the U.S. It is for this reason that medicinal cannabis has an advantage, as it is much easier to get a hold of due to its legal status in many places across America.
3 – Access & Availability
The complicated legality of cannabis means that those in possession of weed for personal recreational use can face serious fines and/or jail time in most parts of the U.S. Naturally, this has led to limited availability on most recreational cannabis plants.
Not only is CBD from hemp legal across all 50 states, but with almost all states legalizing medicinal cannabis in some way, it has made the flower much more available to those who need it most. Of course, for those individuals who don't qualify for a medical marijuana card, this can be incredibly problematic.
However, the reality is that for as long as cannabis for recreational use is restricted, there will be more individuals that will turn to medicinal marijuana. Statistics now show that up to 90% of the U.S. population is backing marijuana to become legal across the country, which shows that the current levels of availability for recreational cannabis are not hitting the mark.
Overview: With laws around recreational cannabis being so strict, there is a tendency to go for medical marijuana as it is much more available than the former. Ultimately medicinal cannabis takes advantage when it comes to availability and accessibility.
4. Quality
Aside from everything else, perhaps one of the most notable differences between medicinal and recreational cannabis is the quality. While both may start off the same, the fact of the matter is that the way they are grown, cultivated and produced ultimately determine whether they will be used for recreational or medical purposes.
Cannabis that is to be used for medical purposes undergoes a much more thorough process before becoming available for consumption – not only is it usually grown in more controlled environments (as opposed to outdoors which is generally the case for recreational cannabis), but it is also checked for things like pesticides more thoroughly as the end product must be suitable for patients to consume.
Naturally, this does mean that while both medicinal and recreational cannabis starts off the same, the quality in that end product can vary wildly.
Overview: Rightly or wrongly, the process that goes into getting medical marijuana prepared for human consumption differs significantly from that which goes into recreational cannabis. While nobody wants to be smoking an unsafe bud, it is common for less care to be taken in the growing and cultivation of recreational cannabis than medical cannabis. With this in mind, medicinal cannabis has the advantage of a cleaner and purer product.
5 – Versatility
Finally, there is the matter of versatility to consider. Legality and availability aside, it is important to look at who could actually benefit from cannabis. While recreational weed is traditionally the social and more enjoyable type, medicinal cannabis has a much more versatile purpose.
Both elderly and young children, for instance, can benefit from medicinal cannabis that boasts low THC and high CBD levels. Of course, this could work wonders for medical conditions and general health in these types of consumers.
Recreational cannabis, on the other hand, is much more restricted to a specific audience, which is those who are of legal age to get high, and of an age that the experience wouldn't be distressing or unpleasant.
Overview: When we consider that medical marijuana is legal for children to consume in many states, compared to recreational which has a strict age limit attached in the states that allow it, it seems like a no-brainer that medicinal cannabis would be a huge advantage here over recreational. Not only is it on the whole more medicinally beneficial, but it is also made available to a wider variety of people, and therefore is much more accessible.
Final Thoughts on Recreational vs. Medical Cannabis
While we are still waiting for the day that more states across America see cannabis for what it is, we have to (for now at least) side with medicinal cannabis when the two come head to head. From availability to benefits, it seems like there is no real competition in this fight!

Thank you to Jared, who is as fast and skilled as has been told, for my new hammock.
I'm really digging it.
I write this to offer my own personal findings. I had already decided I wanted a symmetrical net and double layer but I still had some questions/concerns while trying to decide on wide vs standard.
I went through this on my last hammock purchase too and that time opted for standard. I was happy with it for years but always wondered if I'd like wide better.
You can read reports and reviews all you like and watch all the videos you can find but it ends up being a subjective issue.
I went with wide trimmed down to 64" this time.
This is what I found...
I'm 6' 280 lbs, and not a fluffy 280 lbs but dense. (do not read muscle there just dense)
I am thrilled with how it fits me. I find that i do not lay on a more extreme or pronounced diagonal to make use of the width, but much as i did before only now my feet and head are not right to the edges. I am afforded a bit of extra space that creates a bit of pocket area.
Also there is not really excess material, i would call it "a little more than just enough". I in no way need to stake it out.
I was pleased to find that because I'm not laying on a larger diagonal, it in no way impacts my under quilt. The extra width is acting more like length in the actual bed area. If that makes sense.
So I find that i like double layer 1.6 hexon better than the single 2.4 of my last hammock, love the symmetrical netting, having zippers anywhere you like is awesome, and 64" wide is perfect for me.
Sweet piece of gear.

TOKYO -- Toshiba faces something of an identity crisis. Semiconductors have been the conglomerate's cash cow, but it is selling its flash memory unit to shore up its tattered finances. Somehow, the company needs to find a new calling and a new growth strategy.
Its best hope may be technology that has been helping the very business it is selling.
Toshiba on Sept. 28 signed a formal agreement to unload the memory unit to an American-South Korean-Japanese consortium led by U.S. investment fund Bain Capital, though the conglomerate will retain an interest. The sale holds the key to escaping negative net worth but will cause Toshiba's earnings to plunge. None of its other units clear the 100 billion yen ($886 million) operating profit threshold.
As one Toshiba employee put it, "We are seen as a semiconductor company on the stock market, and I wonder what we will retain after the sale" of Toshiba Memory.
The future might just hinge on something Toshiba calls Spinex -- an internet of things "architecture" combined with artificial intelligence. The company chose the name out of the belief that the technology will support its business, much like the spine of the human body.
Engineers sing the praises of Spinex at Toshiba Memory's flagship plant in Yokkaichi, in Japan's Mie Prefecture. They say the technology helps them quickly pinpoint defects, dramatically improving the efficiency of inspections.

Modern essentials
Film advertisement created by Strange Cargo, United Kingdom for H&M, within the category: Fashion.
Production Company: Tool
Director: Marc Forster
Producer: Valerie Romer
Executive Producers: Lori Stonebraker, Oliver Fuselier
DoP: Ben Seresin
The commercial was okay, yet it had some things that should have been added to make it better. The good part of the commercial was the David Beckham was in it, since his line seems to be very popular for customers in the men's department. Reason I say this is because I use to work there, and it was one the popular merchandise that we had. What also were good were the scenery the director Mark Foster made. It was dark and mysterious and the music was recognizable to other commercials H&M has done before. I feel the commercial also had the actors wear products from the store like in the very quick scenes where men were wearing hats and other women were wearing blazers. A few suggestions I would like to add on would be to have focused a bit more on the product like the boxer briefs of the Beckham line to have been shown a better more, I'm not sure if the black sweater over the grey one he had underneath was part of his line but I feel the commercial focused mainly on him and not as much on his line.
I feel like the advertisement idea was sound and had the right idea in mind. But, using a superstar such David Beckham who is known world wide definitely saved it. David Beckham is the male face for the H&M brand and his celebrity status has definitely pushed their products into the closets of the millennial generation. I just feel like I've seen 100 of these types of commercials. Being, mysterious good looking man walks into setting with product and says nothing but lets his actions do the talking. If you look at ads from Axe body spay or Dos Equis they all play off of the same idea. It would be nice to see something a little more original and active. It has the right idea, but, maybe give David Beckham some dialogue. He does have an english accent which might add to the culture of the clothing.

Harvest 2017 Begins
Vintage 2017 is now underway.
A beautiful little burst of summer weather over the weekend saw the nice lemon/grapefruit flavours develop, which we look for in the Chardonnay fruit. Our first harvest of Chardonnay was from a section of our Estate Block 10 which is planted to Dijon Clone 95. This is two weeks later than what I would consider the 'normal' harvest window for this block. With perfect weather conditions forecast, I anticipate that most of our Chardonnay fruit will come in over the next two weeks.
It was very nice to finally receive some warmer weather as we approach autumn, and it has certainly helped to move the ripening along. The reds are now fully through veraison and the vines are looking in terrific shape, with moderate crops following our extensive crop thinning carried out earlier in the summer.
The excellent blossom on the native Jarrah and Marri trees is keeping the Silvereyes happy and, they are currently not interested in our grapes. This has been very advantageous, as the vineyard team can focus on netting the reds which will come onto the Silvereyes radar as the blossom slowly fades away over the next few weeks.
It has been a very interesting growing season, with a wet and cold winter followed by cooler than average temperatures throughout the spring and summer. The team is really excited to be starting harvest in such beautiful autumn conditions, which we hope is a pattern for the next couple of months.

There are no boundaries or limitations. Rather, they stream fountains of pure potential that open the doors and windows to inspired ideas.
One of my latest projects this summer came to me in such a dream...
My friend's daughter happens to be obsessed with My Little Pony. Naturally, this got me thinking of ideas for pony party favours for gift bags.
That's when it hit me... How amusing would it be to create a pony pencil topper!
As soon as that idea popped into my head, I woke up, excited and anxious to start working on it.
I decided to try a simpler design first, namely a basic flower (see the orange-pink flower in the pictures), just to see what size the base for the pencil topper would be.
I had barely completed the basic flower, when I thought... Ooh butterfly! Of course, I had to make one right away (see the purple-red-orange butterfly in the pictures).
After I completed the butterfly, I had to stop myself because I was already thinking of more flowers and butterfly ideas and hadn't worked on the pony yet!
I used the knight from my chess set as inspiration for the pony pencil topper. I had to make it a little bit smaller, so it would fit snuggly around a pencil.
Once, I made the pony, I thought about two other patterns I have that could be translated to pencil toppers too - Kelly's Teddy Bear and Fashion Doll's Kitty. These led me to the bear, dogs and cat/fox pencil toppers. The pony also inspired the unicorn, which was created later.
So, I designed the elegant butterfly (purple-pink butterfly in the pictures), forget-me-knot flower (purple flower in the pictures), ladybug, rose and daisy.
While I was making it, I thought, awe... this can make a cute little turtle too. So, I made two!
As it so happens, I had several shades of green sport yarn on hand, so I tested the same turtle pattern with it and ended up with all of these turtle delights!
Is anyone else thinking chocolates and desserts now too?
Crochet patterns for each of these designs are coming to the blog for free this July and August. Plus, their PDF versions will be joining the loyalty program. Hurray!
Make sure you sign up to my newsletter, where you can grab one free pattern from the list each month in addition to five patterns when you join.
Here are the first nine patterns:
- Forget-Me-Knot Flower - Now Available!
- Ladybug - Now Available!
- Dainty Daisy - Now Available!
- Elegant Butterfly - Now Available!
- Pony - Now Available!
- Unicorn - Now Available!
- Basic Flower - Now Available!
- Cute Butterfly - Now Available!
- Rose - Now Available!
The patterns for the remaining designs will be coming later in August. All of these ones so far, should hopefully be available to you before school starts back up again.
Think fun back-to-school accessories and awesome teacher gifts! Or, if you happen to be an early planner, these will make great Halloween treats and stocking stuffers for Christmas too.
Stay tuned for updates...
Update - September 1, 2016: Turtle patterns are coming later this month. Other animal pencil topper patterns to come soon...

NuSI-funded Study Serves Up Disappointment for the Carbohydrate-insulin Hypothesis of Obesity
A new metabolic ward study tests the idea that lowering insulin via severe carbohydrate restriction increases metabolic rate and accelerates fat loss, independently of calorie intake. Although carbohydrate restriction did modestly increase metabolic rate, it actually slowed fat loss. One of the details that sets this study apart from previous studies is that it was funded by the Nutrition Science Initiative, an organization that was founded specifically to test the insulin hypothesis of obesity and related concepts.

Three prisoners assaulted but no one's saying anything
IT SEEMS Central Queenslanders will never know the extent of the reported assaults inside the Capricornia Correctional Centre.
That's because no one will tell us anything.
Yesterday The Morning Bulletin tried to obtain information about prisoners who were taken to Rockhampton Hospital after three assaults at the prison in the past five days.
One prisoner, age unknown, was assaulted on Tuesday afternoon.
Two other prisoners were assaulted on Saturday. One was reported to have suffered facial injuries.
All three were believed to have been under the close watch of prison guards at the hospital.
Media spokesman for the Department of Corrective Services Ron McDonald said under section 341 of the Corrective Services Act, no information about the prisoners or the assaults could be released for publication.
Another spokesman for the department said the security of correctional centres and the safety and wellbeing of staff and prisoners were Queensland Correctives Services' top priorities.
The department confirmed "several recent incidents" were being investigated. Those incidents resulted in two prisoners being taken to hospital.
"Any allegation of assault is taken very seriously, and all assaults are referred to the Queensland Police Service," the spokesman said.
"It would be inappropriate for Corrective Services to make any further comment about the circumstances while the investigations are taking place."
The Capricornia Correctional Centre has 410 "built beds" or cells for prisoners, but is currently holding 453 prisoners in secure custody.
A 492-bed prison at Borallon, west of Ipswich - which will have "a strong emphasis on training and education" - is being recommissioned and will be open early next year.
The spokesman said the Borallon upgrade would relieve the pressure of prisoner numbers on correctional centres around Queensland.
The spokesman would not comment as to whether the recent assaults were related to prison over-crowding.

More C# code work. This is amazing. Got e-lahey to write a pretty complex routine for me (because I am dumber than I look)
Wrote a reply to the article on LinuxPower on Ximian, Eazel, GNOME and the FSF.
I also got to have a long talk with Chema about the future of the Ximian Setup Tools: they are now tackling a couple a few more projects: A simple `Make my Linux machine a home router', Font installation and Xfree configuration. Discussed how it integrated with SOAP and stuff.

Sometimes we tend to forget that before all a great wine begins at the vine. The Ecu Domaine has been aware of that since the seventies. While some people turned to technological artifice and wine standardisation, Guy Bossard, followed organic farming principles and biodynamics : soils ploughing, mastered yields, disbudding, thinning, manual harvest and biotope consideration. Guy is a true extraterrestrial! --- His beautiful Gneiss Muscadet vintages, Orthogneiss and Granite have widely contributed to call out amateurs to the existence of soils and subsoils able to bring out spectacular wines. Jo Landron is another example in the area ! In 2010, Guy Bossard seems ready to pass on to Frédéric Niger, neophyte winegrower, ultra passionate though. Transition is done smoothly, perfectly for the best interest of the domaine. Sticking to true values, Frédéric elaborates personal cuvées (pinot noir, cabernet…), and launches himself into amphora vinification. Having dropped his job in Paris to renew with his roots in Nantes, he is like pigs in clover. --- Wine aging length has been extended (between twelve and seventeen months) so to develop the idea that muscadet for instance can be a beautiful long keeping wine. It is obvious that the terroir vintages of the Ecu Domaine are true jewels. Beautiful wines to be found today on most prestigious tables in the world… on Petitescaves.com !

From the author of the phenomenal Sunday Times bestsellers 'One Child' and 'Ghost Girl', comes a startling and poignant memoir of three people's victimisation and abuse – and their heartbreaking but ultimately successful steps to recovery, with the help of Torey Hayden, an extraordinary teacher.Two children trapped in a prison of silence and a woman suffering in the twilight of her years – these are the cases that would test the extraordinary courage, compassion and skill of Torey Hayden and ultimately reaffirm her faith in the indomitable strength of the human spirit.While working in the children's psychiatric ward of a large hospital, Torey was introduced to seven-year-old Cassandra, a child who had been kidnapped by her father and was found dirty, starving and picking though rubbish bins to survive. She refused to speak, so Torey could only imagine what she'd been through. Drake, by contrast, was a charismatic four-year-old who managed to participate fully in his pre-school class without uttering a single word. Then, there was Gerda, eighty-two, who had suffered a massive stroke and was unwilling to engage in conversation with anyone. Although Torey had never worked with adults, she agreed to help when all other efforts had failed.

In-flight roaming revenues will hit $3 billion by 2020, doubling the value estimated for this year, according to a new report from Juniper Research.
In-flight roaming use is set to explode over the next five years as passengers metaphorically clamber over their seats for mobile voice, data and SMS.
While in-flight roaming will only represent around 5% of mobile revenues globally by 2020, these revenues will largely be driven by increasing data usage. This would primarily emanate from consumers being attracted by a combination of reduced retail roaming charges and an increase in the availability of higher speed data such as 3G and 4G.
The research observed that while in-flight roaming trends closely follow terrestrial roaming trends, roaming charges continue to be significantly higher. For example, Vodafone NZ charges $2.3 per minute for making a voice call and $13 per MB for data usage on selected airlines. Meanwhile, Vodafone UK charges $5 per MB for up to 5MB, then $27 for every 5MB after that; for voice it charges approximately $3 for making a call.
Nearly all traffic, whether free or paid for, is delivered via a satellite and there are inherent satellite charges to be included. The research found that while there is great uncertainty amongst stakeholders on how this market will develop, in-flight mobile service providers will continue to bundle satellite charges into their wholesale roaming packages.
Research author Nitin Bhas added: "High in-flight mobile roaming charges will continue to be a key hurdle for the industry. Given the steep pricing levels for in-flight roaming, the average annual spend per mobile roamer on in-flight and maritime roaming services will only represent a modest increase over the forecast period."

Gamecock Women Finish Off Tennessee State
JACKSONVILLE — Head coach Rick Pietri knew Jacksonville State's game against Tennessee State would be "intense."
After the Gamecocks suffered a "crushing" two-point overtime loss to the Tigers on Jan. 4, JSU gained a measure of revenge with an 84-76 win Monday over Tennessee State. It marked JSU's third straight home win.
"I told our team this is going to be an expensive gift to gain," Pietri said. "This wasn't going to be a cheap gift. They were going to have to pay a heavy price for this one because of the way Tennessee State plays and the energy and aggressiveness they play with.
"Fortunately enough, we were able to do the things we needed to do to pay for that expensive gift."
In the first meting, JSU (7-14, 3-5 in the Ohio Valley Conference) squandered a three-point lead with only a minute remaining in regulation.
This time, the Gamecocks led by four with a minute to play. They were able to hold on with the help of guards Candace Morton and Briana Benson sinking their final six free throws.
Former Gamecocks forward Briana Morrow made her first appearance in Pete Mathews Coliseum since December 2012. Morrow transferred to Tennessee State halfway through last season. Charged with the duty of guarding her former teammate was junior forward Miranda Cantrell.
"Competition," Cantrell said, "it sees no friends. The last game, I told here I love you, but we're going to get buckets either way. To lose to them the first time, we shouldn't have lost. I told her after the game today, great day to be a Gamecock."
It was Cantrell who had the last laugh. She led JSU with 21 points and 12 rebounds on her way to her sixth double-double performance this season. Pietri called her performance "huge."
"For her to put up 21 and 12," he said, "as well as shoot a high percentage from the free throw line and the floor, from an offensive standpoint, she did almost everything I could have asked her to do."
Freshman Briana Benson made her first career start at JSU. Pietri made the move only 40 minutes before the game to get
a better matchup with TSU's size. The 5-foot-8 guard finished with 14 points and eight rebounds.
"At first, I was shocked — nervous," Benson said. "But once he told me I had to step up and play, I stepped up and played."
The Gamecocks return to action Saturday at Murray State.

Let me take this one first. It certainly does fulfill the typical criterion of abstract art paintings albeit in the eyes of commoners. I once overheard two of my classmates in my high school days. They were talking about some black square (maybe it was taught in our history lessons about arts) that got highly popular in the world of artists in around 1920. It was a square drawn and filled in black. Why was it a hit? They discussed that there was something wrong with the artists that they gave so much value to the utterly black simply square painting.
Whatever might be the historical reason for the popularity; the painting before me fulfills the criteria of modern paintings in more than one ways. It is a rectangle within the rectangle. The outer rectangle shows some faint black design quite similar to the marks visible on the wood that is soon finely cut and leveled by a carpenter. I would tell of two more rectangles if I pay attention to the prominent margins of the two rectangles.
The core of the artwork is at the core that doesn't in itself make for more than a quarter of the area of the whole canvas. The background is sky blue. It is almost plainly brushed but for a few streaks that make the background of the work white mixed with sky blue. At the center is scintillating orange at its youth. It is like some firework is making its way along the painting.
But displaying again a great feature of the paintings by Tali, the color gives the brightest sense of a firework is limited in its overall impact. The trail of orange is ever glowing but a thick and hence faint blue cover around it balances its violent impact. You may feel fire is overdone by the massive waters poured on it but still the core of the fire is bravely fighting against it.
I suddenly feel I appreciate the water looks like mountain and the fire is some pretty town at the base of the hills, as seen in a dark night from an even higher peak. Whatever it originally is, it is always a symbol of life that is bursting but never uncontrolled; which is contradictory but beautiful.In order to convey my belief that Tali is never short of plots to depict, let me keep from getting obsessed with a single painting and move to next.
The next in the line is one with the background that fairly resembles any decorative work on a wall or over any home appliance. It is fine dark lines drawn in a wavelike fashion over a shiny chocolate colored canvas. The core almost square of the painting depicts a transparent candle stand like structure hanging on a wall. The wall is again yellow in nutshell. White and blue are both used to change the tone of this yellow.
Yellow in different tones except the one brightly shining is used here to depict what I perceive as a wall. Look at the wall for a while and you may feel the deep sky in it where some faint white clouds are floating here and there. The brightest of the yellow used in it gives only an impression of yellow soil bating in sun in the noon of a summer day.
The 'candle stand' is depicted uniquely with a color to give it a transparent impression. Except for the circular rings that are typical to the many Tali paintings and a few trails of droplets and a chord of muddy brown color the wax is colorful that is over flowing out of the candle stand.
It is blood red at a point, it is blue, and it is reddish brown and all that. So many elements are free themselves, but are neatly organized in the painting. Despite these bright colors what imprint the painting leaves in your mind is of the sky with hazy faint white clouds, it is a tranquilizing impact somewhat catalyzed by the bright colors.
The point is that the artist is never short of the plots to depict. The images have their origin solely in the nature. The pattern of color is sort of common in a sense that contrasts never break the continuity in her paintings and the bright colors are magically used to depict a lively but calm scene. The paintings have a power to bind the viewer. And the charm is always young, no matter how long you have been having the paintings for. To watch them is like tuning to a refreshing music always. And it is art for life and not for the sake of art alone.
Tali paintings are as rich as one can expect modern art to be. The talented artist has never been short of unique plots for her artworks. Most of them are based on natural landscapes showing immense affection and appreciation of nature by the artist.

December 5, 2018
O'Brien's client approached him with a unique situation: How to successfully market a home for auction during a housing downturn. Although the house, located in Beaufort County, NC, was desirable waterfront property ‐ times were tight. The average time on market was 249 days. It was the middle of a recession. And, like the rest of the nation, housing prices were way off ‐ in nearby Pitt County, they had fallen nearly 25 percent.
The client's initial plan was to obtain Beaufort County property tax records and send out a mass mailing.
"He wanted to mail to everybody," said O'Brien.
At the same time, targeting the right prospect was crucial. An auction for luxury waterfront property needed to attract a very specific segment to be successful. "He was worried about getting the right people to show up and bid on the property," said O'Brien.
Experience told O'Brien that there was a better way to target nearby luxury home buyers. "A general property tax list wouldn't pinpoint the exact type of buyer he wanted." After telling his client, "I don't think I would do that," O'Brien suggested a different approach ‐ a targeted mailing list from USADATA.
Instead of a scattershot approach based on property tax records, targeted mailing lists allow companies to choose the exact demographic characteristics they want their mailer to reach. In this case, O'Brien recommended that his client target high-income individuals in nearby Pitt County, rather than people already living in Beaufort County. Additionally, O'Brien suggested that they filter out people who already owned a second home, figuring that they wouldn't be in the market to purchase another one.
They started the process by using USADATA's online QuickPick targeting. QuickPick targeting allows customers to select a pre‐defined segment representing their best prospects in just one click. For additional mailing list assistance, they contacted a USADATA Data Specialist. The Specialist worked with O'Brien to further refine the mailing list and develop the count and price quote.
"It's important to work with a mailing list company who will spend the time to help you make smarter choices," said O'Brien. "It's a much more personalized way of doing business." Together, with USADATA's help, they created a highly targeted mailing list that targeted professionals earning more than $150,000 a year in neighboring Pitt County. Selection criteria included:
The auction was an unprecedented success: The house sold for more than $100,000 more than the owners expected. O'Brien was surprised at the auction price, but, then again he's seen how successful mailing lists from USADATA have been for his clients.
Jon Rapkin, Senior Vice‐President of Sales for USADATA, is pleased with the campaign's success. "This case study shows the power of a targeted mailing list," said Rapkin. "This home auction's success was helped by reaching the right people at the right time."
Today, the client is thrilled with his results. He was so pleased with the success from his first mailing that he's strategizing a new direct mail campaign with AccuLink ‐ and planning to work with USADATA for their mailing list expertise.
"They are a great group of people," says O'Brien. "They give a darn about your success."

Valacyclovir Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Valacyclovir is also known as: Valtrex
Valacyclovir Pregnancy Warnings
Benefit should outweigh risk
AU TGA pregnancy category: B3
US FDA pregnancy category: B
-Acyclovir (aciclovir) has been safely used to treat genital herpes in women in all stages of pregnancy; data on prenatal exposure to this prodrug is limited, however, animal data suggests low risk.
-Women who acquire genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) during late pregnancy should be managed in consultation with maternal-fetal medicine and infectious-disease specialists.
-Suppressive therapy late in pregnancy has been shown to reduce the frequency of cesarean delivery among women with recurrent genital herpes by diminishing the frequency of recurrences at term; such treatment may not protect against transmission to neonates in all cases.
-Recommended regimen for HSV suppressive therapy in pregnant women with recurrent genital herpes: 500 mg orally 2 times a day starting at 36 weeks gestation.
Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity for either valacyclovir (valaciclovir) or acyclovir (aciclovir; the active metabolite). There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. No significant neonatal toxicity or fetal drug accumulation was noted in a small pharmacokinetic study (n=20) of this drug (500 mg twice daily) administered beginning at 36 weeks' gestation. Pregnancy registry data reported 111 and 1246 document exposures to this drug or any formulation of its active metabolite, respectively, of which 29 and 756 exposures occurred in the first trimester. Exposure did not indicate an increased incidence of major birth defects compared with the general population in a prospective pregnancy registry; however, there is insufficient data for definitive conclusions regarding exposure during pregnancy.
AU TGA pregnancy category B3: Drugs which have been taken by only a limited number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age, without an increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human fetus having been observed. Studies in animals have shown evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage, the significance of which is considered uncertain in humans.
US FDA pregnancy category B: Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

In 5 nursing mothers and infant pairs, this prodrug was not detected in maternal serum, breast milk, or infant urine following maternal doses of 500 mg twice a day. The expected acyclovir (acyclovir) dose was calculated at approximately 0.6 mg/kg/day
Use with caution
Excreted into human milk: Yes
Comments: Based on its rapid conversion to acyclovir (acyclovir), this drug appears to be compatible with breastfeeding.

X marks the spot for game-changing Nokia
Mobile World Congress 2014 sees Nokia take a game-changing step into the affordable smartphones market with its X series of phones underpinned by the open-source Android operating system.
Fitting neatly into the current space between its Asha range of feature phones and Windows Phone Lumia devices, Nokia's X range will aim to squarely capture smartphone market share, with a focus on emerging markets.
With access to a vast array of Android apps via the Nokia store and through a variety of other localised Android stores, such as Russia's Yandex, the company aims to take advantage of the success of the Android ecosystem while allowing differentiation through the use of its own user interface and services.
The company has created a UI that has the look and feel of a Windows Phone device, using the 'tile' approach to its application icons and weblinks (although they are not 'live'), while building on the mapping, notification and purchasing APIs used in its other devices – and it allows access to Microsoft cloud services.
"This may be a few years too late, but it is a much needed move by Nokia to recapture share of the smartphone market by becoming part of the Android ecosystem," says David McQueen, Principal Analyst, Informa Telecoms & Media.
"By using a number of key elements that have been highly successful in the smartphone industry over the past few years and overlaying it with some of its own significant attributes – and to that I still add brand strength and quality industrial design – Nokia has bridged the gap to its Lumia smartphones by creating a truly irresistible product offering for the affordable segment".
Three models being launched in the X range – the X (with 4in screen), the X+ (also with 4in screen but with more RAM) and the XL (with 5in screen).
"Their wholesale prices fully reflect the desire to target the affordable segment as they will go to market at the aggressive €89 (US$122), €99 and €109 respectively," McQueen says.
"In a further nod to acceptance in the emerging markets, all models are dual-SIM and have 3G connectivity.
"Not only will the pricing of the X series heighten the interest of mobile operators in the emerging markets, but also bring improved competiveness to the low-cost Android segment which is currently controlled by Samsung."
Over time, McQueen believes it is clear that Nokia will push down the price of these Android-based devices further, with the eventual aim of displacing its Asha range of phones.
"For the time being, it seems that Nokia has no intention of moving them up the price tiers where they would compete with its Lumia products, or to throw itself into the fast-growing low-cost 7in Android-based tablet market.
"For now, though, Nokia has at last become part of the Android conversation and it won't be long before the X is the talk of the town."
