Oh!! . . . F.F.S. . . .If it's going to be a shoe shine boy, his dad is setting the worst example ever.
Well, I'm in the hospital. This has not been a good day. After spending the last 3 months quarantined inside the house, limited contact with my family or friends since end of March ......enough is enough. So I decided to go for a horseback ride with a good friend. Something I haven't done for a long time. It turned out to be a horrible mistake! I got on the horse and I started out slowly, but then it got crazy windy. I went faster and faster and before I knew it, I was going as fast as that horse could go. I couldn't take the pace and fell off, but caught my pants on the stirrup. I was being dragged and was bouncing all over the place. The horse just would not stop!
Thankfully the manager at the supermarket came running out and unplugged the machine. Then he actually had the nerve to take the rest of my pound coins and my bottle of Tequila so I wouldn't try to ride the damn fire engine or clown car.
I have a few scrapes and bruises but nothing's broken. I will wear a helmet next time.

Who needs dope when you're in Spain ???
I know a nice spot in a park above and behind Barcelona. The park itself is almost deserted during the week but sees more people over the weekend. The spot itself is a sort of horseshoe-shaped dip, see crappy map attached. There are steps down to it, a raised area and then a drop of a couple of feet to the part where there is a very old trough full of water closely surrounded by three large lime trees. It is connected to a spring which is housed in a little building and has a press tap.. On the upper layer is a large table made from sculpted marble.
This morning I was there quite early...about 0900. It was deserted, just how I like it. I spread out some food for the birds on the edge of the water trough and sat down on the concrete bench along one side to have a nice breakfast spliff and a tin of Monster Green,watch the birds and enjoy the peace and quiet. Inevitably that didn't last long, and in quick succession a couple of girls in their 20s turned up and proceeded to establish themselves on a collection of rocks in cuboid cages off to the side and some young bloke in obligatory ****** costume...beard, shorts, t-shirt and rucksack ..and of couse mask..never mind we are in the fucken countryside, there isn't a police station for miles and I don't think the Gestapo have got round to stalking remote parks for mask offenders...yet. He comes over , gives me a Bon dia ( Catalan ) and planks himself between me and the spring. Starts rummaging around in his rucksack and proceeds to produce a collection of items...a ceramic soup bowl, a fridge ice-cube maker, a bit of jointed plastic plumbing and some other junk, which he then arrayed in a line from the spring ( in red on map). What the **** type of weirdo do we have here ? I was thinking when down the steps came a band of six young women...mingers one and all, various shapes and sizes of unsexiness, wearing the de rigeur clown-clothes the intellectually challenged love and one important addition..each one was wearing a different gaudily-coloured ballet tutu over their ordinary rags. They clearly knew beardy tosser...it quickly transpired to be one of these ******* stupid 'team building exercises', they had to get water from the spring to the bowl using the stuff available. Just as they started, almost on cue,a wild boar turned up...real pig meets near neighbours. Whilst pointedly not watching I mused about the condition of the human brain today... It is a perfectly lovely morning in an idyllic spot, flora and fauna to be enjoyed. What the **** are you doing and why? As for the stupid getups, in the middle of a park away from anywhere...this is a normal phenomenon of life today- the need to dress up because something is fun. Fun. I doubt whether many under the age of 40 would know what fun was if it jumped up and bit them on the arse. This behaviour is really 'lets pretend'..we know what we are doing is lame shite, but this is what we are supposed to do so it must be fun. Anyway, the boar strolled off with a look of disgust before they had finished, which they did and proceeded to bugger back off up the steps, so there must have been other 'activities' for them to do somewhere else, leaving beardoid to collect his stuff. I got up to go and dump my empty Monster can in a bin and he asked me ' Have you had that drink before?' My reply, pretty much true...'I drink it every day' toi which he looked genuinely surprised. The ******* presumptions that that question raised I have to deal with frequently among the mentally challenged youth of today, particularly in relation to dope, which they think they invented.

Showering Your Child With Gifts During DivorceWednesday, May 24th, 2006
Parents will often spend more money on presents for a child during a divorce and/or separation. The natural instinct is to do whatever you can to make a child happy and if that means buying him or her a new bike or a new dress, that is what must be done. Parents are typically worried about the emotional state of their child during the divorce and/or separation, so when they see him or her happy, it makes them feel better inside. This being said, keep in mind that a temporary sense of happiness due to a present is not a cure for either you or your child.
The act of buying excessive presents for a child is more of a selfishness on the parent's part. This is a way for a parent to get a sense of relief that a child is happy. You should continue to remind yourself that you can not buy happiness.
This does not mean you should eliminate all presents or surprises for your child, but instead keep them at the same level they were prior to the divorce and/or separation. As mentioned previously, it is very important to maintain a routine and relationship similar to what it was prior to the divorce and/or separation.
Instead of flourishing your child with presents, try substituting fun activities you can do with your child. Each time you have the urge to buy your child a gift, try replacing it with an activity. The special times that you spend with your child will give you and your child more personal satisfaction. The time together will put a smile on everyone's face and will create a memory that can never be replaced. The more time you spend with your child the quicker your guilt will go away. The guilt will probably never completely disappear, but your efforts to be the best parent you can be will eventually let you be at peace with yourself and the divorce and/or separation.
Sometimes one parent is trying to keep up with the other parent's giving of presents. If you have found yourself trapped in this game, you need to have a talk with the other parent as soon as possible. Hopefully you and the other parent can come to an agreement to stop or at least lessen the amount of presents given to your child. This is not a time to be competing for the love of your child, but instead a time to be working together to be good single parents. This sense of competition will be perceived by your child and he or she will feel as though it is pulling him or her in two different directions. The typical child experiencing his or her parent's divorce and/or separation does not want to love one parent more than the other.
Strategies and Tactics When It Comes to Buying Presents:
- Try to have your child earn the present as a reward.
- Substitute the thought of getting your child a present with spending time with an activity.
- Before buying something for your child ask the following question: Does my child need this or want this?
- Keep the amount of presents the same as prior to the divorce and/or separation.
- Make sure there is a reason for any present or gift.

Spring is almost here which means so is YOUR PROM!
What an exciting time as you celebrate with friends and prepare to journey beyond high school. You'll want this once in a lifetime experience to be truly memorable which means minimizing stress and emphasizing FUN!
Jennifer Powell, Founder, of The Hairports Wash and Blow Dry Bar offers this all-important pre-prom tip – SCHEDULE YOUR HAIR APPOINTMENT as far in advance as possible. Since you'll want to have your hair styled on the day of the prom, waiting until the last minute could prove disastrous because spots will book up fast!
At The Hairports Wash and Blow Dry Bar located in Hamilton Township, NJ, we don't do any cutting or coloring…we SPECIALIZE in STYLING whether it's the latest trend or a classic vintage look. Our makeup artists can professionally apply your makeup too, but you'll need to book an appointment ASAP.
Here are some more tips to help you on your way to having a blissful and stress-free prom experience:
- The DRESS – Go with a style and color that matches your personality and gives you confidence. Remember to check out consignment or vintage shops, or even renting that "red carpet" dress!
- The SHOES – Your shoes can make or break the dress…and your night if they're not comfortable! With so many styles to choose from, you're bound to find just the right pair. Remember to break them in and pick up a pair of cute ballerina flats to dance the night away!
- ACCESSORIES – This includes items such as undergarments, jewelry, small bag or clutch for a few essentials, and a wrap or pretty shawl for chilly weather. All should complement your dress, not overpower it.
- APPOINTMENTS – Remember to schedule these well in advance because spots will fill up fast!
- DAY BEFORE: Get your MANI/PEDI the day before, NOT the day of your prom. You want to avoid chipping or smudging while getting dressed and glammed up for your big night.
- PROM DAY: Have HAIR and MAKEUP done – If you have hair accessories, take them with you and if you're having your makeup done, take a color sample or picture of your dress as a guide.
At Hairports Wash and Blow Dry Bar, you will get personal and professional service.
Whether you have a style in mind or want to choose from our list of Destination Styles, a Hair Traffic Controller will help you complete your look with perfection. We also offer combination packages that include both hairstyle and makeup.

Have you ever been in this situation? You have a really good product idea and have done some homework. While in the cafeteria the Executive VP stops by (she is layers and layers above you but she loves to talk to Product Managers). You tell her of your idea and she thinks it is really great. You tell her you are finding it hard for people to move forward with the idea. She says she will help. A week later you find out that she appointed a Steering Committee to help. The more you work with this Committee the less they seem to want to move forward. They are very nice people but they are part time and not risk takers. They are just too risk averse to move forward. You have done your homework and presented all sorts of data, but they still do not want to move forward.
Why is it that we continue to believe that these committees can act? Committees can serve many useful purposes. Products, after all, are built by teams and a good team provides the needed synergy and balance to create a better product than an individual. Good product teams are essential to good products. Dedicated product teams are required to make good products. But we are not talking about dedicated teams here, we are talking about part time Steering Committees that have more to lose from the idea moving forward than from letting it die.
To build a good product you need to have political muscle! It is impossible to build a product in a vacuum. Sheltering the team from the rest of the company not only postpones the problems, but also can create worse problems when they are finally integrated back into the mainstream. What it requires is for a politically powerful decision maker to truly identify with the product and get completely involved.
Unfortunately, people with political muscle often do not seem to want to focus on the most important thing in their company: their products. Getting involved in products is extremely time consuming and something that most corporate leaders seem to shy away from. They tell themselves that a committee of un-empowered people will be able to reach a consensus and build a great product. They seem to think that "the process" will work it all out. Usually, this is not the case.
Let's not lie to ourselves about the real dynamics of many committees in today's companies. We know what they are like, but pretend they are not because we want so desperately for them to work. People come to meetings only partially prepared because the committee is not really their main job, so they are uninformed. They are also risk averse because they do not want to do anything to hurt their careers (not to mention all the political nonsense that creeps in as well). The net is that they do not help the product owner but server to slow down the process and frustrate the innovative players.
The committee member's ability to take risk is proportional to the political capital they have at stake and the knowledge they have of the market and the product. A product that fails is too much political capital for most people. People who have too much political capital on the line will be too hesitant to take the proper level of risk. They will find themselves unable to move forward because they see the price of being wrong as career limiting. This is true of very senior people as well as junior people. Their goal is to move forward with something whose risk is so low that there is no political risk. Part time involvement and ignorance of a market, which is what happens in most committees, create risk too. How is it that anyone thinks this is going to benefit the product owner?
Unfortunately, all new markets and products require some risk. The person who can best assume this risk is the most senior person in the company who is free to act independently. To be able to make good decisions, this person must immerse themselves in the market and the proposed solution. This senior person will be able to cut through the fear and insecurity of the players involved by taking on that risk for themselves.
A new product will cut through every part of the company and will need those parts of the company to get involved. You might need to strike deals with other companies in order to be successful. You may need a different channel, or a different pricing model. Don't create committees, create teams.
Great products come from people who have insight and a willingness and ability to take risk. They need to be committed to the project at hand. What they often lack is the political capital to be allowed to drive forward with their idea. They also need guidance from experienced people. Creating and supporting the right team, will provide the broad experience needed for the new product team to succeed.
Empower the team and take the heat for them. The difficulty comes because they need to do something new and they need protection. What is required is a leader who can provide support and muscle to get the team to form and run with the idea. What is needed is a leader who takes on the political risk of the product being right and who immerses themselves in the product to the point where their intuition is aligned with the product direction. A leader who know how to empower and take on the risk to their personal capital.
Yes, build a team to get it done, and join them in the risk of being wrong.

Caring for a disabled child with special needs
This page looks at issues affecting people who care for children with disabilities, including getting help from social work and other sources, contacting other parents with disabled children, and getting financial support through child disability benefit.
How can I learn more about my child's condition?
If your child is diagnosed with a disability, medical condition or some other type of special needs, you may find it helpful to learn more about their condition. The Patient UK website is a useful starting point for this, while the Contact A Family website has a comprehensive directory of specific conditions and rare disorders. However, be wary of scaring yourself by reading too much information. It's usually best to talk to your doctor or paediatrician (specialist children's doctor), who has examined your child and can tell you how serious their condition is and how it is likely to affect them in the future.
Where can I get help and support?
The page on being a carer looks at how you can get help from social work, your doctor and health visitor, your local carers' centre and other voluntary organisations. All these services are available to the parents of disabled children. There may also be a support group in your area for parents of disabled children - social work should be able to put you in touch with a group that meets your needs, or you can check your council's website. You might also be able to find out about support groups and organisations from leaflets in your local GP surgery.
What help can I get from social work?
Children's care assessments
The social work department has a duty to assess your child's needs and identify any services or special equipment they need. For example, they may recommend:
- adaptations to make your home more suitable for your child
- special aids and equipment to help your child get about
- occupational therapy to help your child develop skills
- language and communication therapy
- services providing specialised childcare.
They should then draw up a care plan, showing how these needs will be met. The services may be provided by the council, or by local voluntary agencies. You may have to pay for some of these services - read the page on paying for care services to find out more.
Contact A Family has more detailed information on children's care assessments available on its website, including what to do if you're not happy with the way your case is handled.
Carer's assessments
You are also entitled to an assessment of your needs, to see if there is anything that can be done to make your role as a parent easier. You can find out more about carer's assessments.
How can I get in touch with other parents with disabled children?
Talking to other parents who are in the same situation as you can be really helpful, particularly if your child is diagnosed with a rare or serious disorder. Contact A Family is a charity providing advice, information and support to the parents of all disabled children, no matter what their health condition. Visit their website to get in touch with other families with disabled children, or for advice on starting up your own parents' group.
You can also get in touch with other families through websites set up to support people with specific disabilities and illnesses and their carers, such as Scope (cerebral palsy), the Cystic Fibrosis Trust or the Learning Disabilities' Choice forum.
How can I get a break?
Spending some time apart is good for both you and your child. It gives you a chance to recharge your batteries and do things you enjoy but can't do with your child, and provides your child with an opportunity to interact with other adults and children and experience something new.
Childcare services
You can use the Scottish Childcare website to search for childcare services in your area, including toddler groups, kids clubs and holiday schemes.
Unfortunately, you may find it hard to access childcare services if your child is severely disabled or has behavioural problems. Talk to your health visitor about this - they should be able to link you up with services that can help you, provided by social work or local voluntary organisations.
Getting away
If you need to get away for longer, you can ask your doctor or social worker to help you arrange a place for your child in residential care. This could be in a special unit or a residential home. You can search for a suitable care home at the Better Caring website.
Read the page on getting a break to find out more about respite care and holidays.
What happens when my child goes to school?
If your child is disabled or has a medical condition, they are likely to require additional support at school. You can find out more about education for children with disabilities or special educational needs at the following websites.
- Parentzone Scotland helps parents to get involved in their children's education. Their website offers information on choosing a school and supporting your child's learning, and has advice for parents of children with special educational needs (SEN).
- Children and young people with special educational needs have a legal right to extra support at school - this is known as 'additional support for learning'. To find out more, contact Enquire, the Scottish independent advice and information service for additional support for learning.
- The Scottish Government has also produced a guide for parents about additional support for learning.
- Schools must take reasonable steps to meet the needs of disabled children and ensure that they have access to all facilities. It's against the law for a school to discriminate against your child because of their disability (that is, to treat them less favourably than a non-disabled pupil). You can contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission for advice and information about discrimination in school.
Financial issues
Bringing up a disabled child can be expensive. However, financial support is available to help meet the costs such as child disability benefit. The pages on financial support for parents and financial issues for carers have more information on the support available. Contact A Family also produces a useful guide to benefits if you have a disabled child.
Disability living allowance for children
The main benefit for disabled children is disability living allowance (DLA). You can claim DLA if your child has a severe physical or mental illness or disability and as a result, needs more help or looking after than other children of the same age. DLA is not means-tested, which means that you'll be able to claim it regardless of your financial situation. Find out more and download a claim form at the Direct.gov website.
Self-directed support (direct payments)
If social work has carried out an assessment of your child's needs and it has been agreed that they require children's services, you can ask the council to give the money that they would have spent on these services directly to you. You can then use this money to arrange and pay for the care services your child needs of your choice. Once your child turns 16, the payments will be given to them so they can arrange their own services.
Read more about self-directed support.
Help from voluntary organisations
In some circumstances, you may also be able to get a grant from a voluntary organisation or charitable trust to help support your child's needs. For example:
- If you're on a low income, you may be able to get a grant from the Family Fund.
- If your child has mobility problems and you can't get funding for equipment from social work, the NHS or other statutory sources, you may be able to get funding from Whizz Kidz.
The Funder Finder website has more information and advice on getting grants.

Side Effects of Memantine
In clinical studies, the most commonly reported side effects of memantine included high blood pressure, dizziness, headache, and confusion. Side effects are generally minor and do not require medical attention in most cases. However, there are some memantine side effects that are potentially serious and that should be reported to your healthcare provider, including hallucinations, an allergic reaction, and painful or difficulty breathing.
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with memantine hydrochloride (Namenda®); however, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with memantine. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of memantine side effects with you.)
Some side effects with memantine, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These include but are not limited to:
- Hallucinations
- Painful or difficulty breathing
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:
- An unexplained rash
- Hives
- Itching
- Swelling of the mouth or throat
- Wheezing
- Difficulty breathing.

Nielsen Wire has posted new smartphone numbers for July 2011, showing that 40% of mobile consumers in the US currently use a smartphone. Of that 40%, 40% use Android, 28% use Apple iPhone (iOS), 19% use RIM Blackberry, and 7% still use Windows Mobile while 1% uses the new Windows Phone 7. The remaining 5% is listed as 'other' and would include things like WebOS and Symbian. Doing the math, and a little rounding, that means 16% of phones in the US run Android, 11% run iOS, and 8% run Blackberry.
The smartphone market is really well on its way to being a duopoly of Android and iOS. Blackberry is up there right now, but while the two leaders have been growing their market share, Blackberry has been losing it. That should continue and the two leaders will increasingly open their lead over Blackberry.
Looking at consumers who plan to buy a new smartphone in the next year, 31% said they want their next phone to be an iPhone while 34% say they want it to run Android. Bad news for RIM, only 7% say they want a Blackberry. That's especially when 5% say they want Windows Phone 7, and it's barely broken into the market at this point. So much for Blackberry's vaunted customer loyalty. Still, they have a chance, 2% say they want 'Other', and with WebOS and Symbian Gone they're really up for grabs, as are the 18% who are undecided.
If these numbers play out, things are looking very good for Android and iPhone – but not very good for anyone else. Blackberry looks to remain in a serious slide unless they can do something drastic to turn things around.

Article content
Upon further review, goalie interference won't be.
At least not via video. Not yet anyway.
The explanation of why no video review for goals on plays that possibly involved goalie interference: The plays are too subjective to be recommended. At least that was the reasoning forwarded to reporters in New York by the NHL's committee on Monday.
Here's the take on the issue forwarded by NHLPA special assistant to the executive director Mathieu Schneider.
"I think (NHL Commissioner) Gary (Bettman) said it best in the meeting when he said, 'Once we go to video review there's an expectation that we're going to get these calls right all the time,'" Schneider told reporters in New York. "You can have two reasonable people sitting in a room watching the same video and have two very different opinions on that video. It becomes, like Gary said, very complex.
"The feeling is right now we're not at the point where we could get a meaningful video review that would have a 100% outcome."
This issue is far from over, however.
NHL senior executive Vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said the topic will come up again during the GM's meeting on Wednesday. Also on the agenda: Other forms of video review including a potential coach's challenge.
If there is no consensus moving forward, Campbell said the league will attempt to enlighten players about what will — and will not — be called.
"The education process is going to be key, and to have certain telltale signs," Schneider said. "When you used to hear Brendan (Shanahan) talk in his video explanations — telltale signs of what was a legal or an illegal hit — I think we need to do that same thing for goaltender interference."
Some of the recommendations that were made by the competition committee:
- In overtime games, teams change ends after regulation.
- The ice be scraped prior to five-minute overtimes during the regular season.
- Hash marks on the outside of the four offensive-end faceoff circles be extended from three-and-a-half feet to five feet apart,
- Only one player is eligible to take a faceoff after an icing. He would be allowed one faceoff violation, but a second violation would result in a two-minute bench minor penalty for delay of game.
- The trapezoid, which is now 18 feet along the goal line, would be increased to 22 feet along the goal line.
- Stronger penalties for embellishment.
The recommendations will be forwarded to the Board of Governors, who meet June 26 in New York; and the Executive Board, which meets July 16-19 in Pebble Beach, Cali.
Doug Wilson has every reason to despise the Los Angeles Kings.
There were his San Jose Sharks in the first round, building up a 3-0 lead in games in the best-of-seven series. The first two victories were blowouts in San Jose, games in which the Kings looked thoroughly outclassed by the Sharks.
Much to Wilson's chagrin, however, the Kings rebounded to become only the fourth team in NHL history to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the series, leaving Wilson suggesting that there will be significant changes to the San Jose roster.
Remarkably, the Kings have won three seven-game series, thanks to a trio of Game 7 victories on the road. And now, the Kings lead the Stanley Cup final against the New York Rangers 3-0 and are on the verge of a second Cup in three seasons.
Yes, Wilson has every reason to be bitter. But in a phone interview with Sun Media, he actually voiced some admiration for Los Angeles.
"What the Kings have — and what (coach) Darryl Sutter has done a great job with — is getting their players to completely buy into how to play," Wilson said. "And if a player doesn't play the right way, Darryl isn't shy to bench them.
"In our series, they stuck to their game plan, win or lose. They didn't abandon what has been successful for them.
"They deserved to beat us. They deserved to beat Anaheim. They deserved to beat the Blackhawks. They deserve to be in the Stanley Cup final. And they deserve credit for all of that by getting their players to buy in completely."
High praise for a divisional rival.
Jonathan Quick hasn't allowed a goal in the past 115 minutes, 36 seconds. He started the playoffs allowing 12 in five periods. Talk about finishing in style ... When Jeff Carter beat Henrik Lundqvist with less than one second left in the first period, it marked the first time Kings led n a game in 249 minutes 14 seconds going back to Game 6 against the Blackhawks when a Patrick Kane goal erased 3-2 Los Angeles lead ... Mike Richards, who was in the doghouse during the regular season and has found himself on the fourth line, scored late in the second to put Los Angeles up 3-0. In his career, Richards has won an Olympic gold medal, a Memorial Cup, a World Junior title, a Stanley Cup and is on the verge of a second. Say what you want, all this guy does is win ... According to a report in the SportsBusiness Journal, NHL revenues for the 2013-14 season are expected to hit $3.7-billion, which would be a 12-per-cent increase over the league's last full campaign (2011-12). With the new TV revenue added in a year later, meanwhile, that figure will for the first time crack the $4-billion mark in 2014-15.

Ozone Therapy Back Treatment
Ozone Therapy Back Treatment
Ozone therapy: New breakthrough for back treatment
By Gaetano Morello, N.D.
Ozone, the gas that protects us from the sun's damaging rays but becomes toxic when inhaled, is experiencing a resurgence on the North American medical community. We are all familiar with the ozone layer and how it's thinning due to chlorofluorocarbons. But the reality is that ozone production in the upper atmosphere depends on the amount energy coming from the sun. During peaks of solar activity, ozone is created at a greater rate. During low periods in the sunspot cycle, the ozone layer is thinner. At night, on the dark side of the planet, the ozone layer disappears over a period of a few hours.
The layer is reformed as the sun rises in the morning. There is no ozone over the poles in the winter, because there is no sunlight. Ozone is continuously being produced in the upper atmosphere as long as sunlight is present, and since ozone is heavier than air, it begins to fall towards the earth. As it falls, it combines with any pollutant it contacts, cleaning the air. When ozone contacts water vapor as it falls, it forms hydrogen peroxide, a component of rain water, and that is the reason why rainwater causes plants to grow better then irrigation. Ozone is also created by lightning; it is the ozone that gives air that fresh smell after a rainfall.
Therapeutic action of ozone
In medicine, ozone has a number of well-established properties: It is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. The largest commercial use of ozone is in the purification of water. When you buy your next gallon jug of water at the grocery store, the label will say "ozone treated." Both the FDA and EPA certify that ozone destroys 99.9992 percent of all pathogenic germs, while oxidizing (destroying) 99.9992 percent of all pollutants in the water at the same time.
A new discovery for the treatment of herniated disc: The Discosan method
In Germany, over 7,000 doctors utilize ozone in the treatment of various diseases.
In Italy, orthopedic surgeons who used to perform surgery on herniated discs are now using a special mixture of ozone to treat the pathology of this condition. Dr. Cesare Verga (orthopedic surgeon) developed the system in 1984 and has treated over 6,000 patients. Dr. Verga claims that surgery really doesn't address the underlying cause. As a matter of fact, it offsets the biomechanics of the spine. Ozone, or the "Discosan method" (as it is known in Italy), represents a new approach in the treatment of herniated discs which resolves both the biological and biomedical aspect of the pathology. Dr. Verga states that this approach has a success rate of over 95 percent. Some of the principal characteristics that make this method so unique are the following:
- No contraindications.
- Over 95 percent success rate.
- Virtually zero recovery time.
- No side effects.
The treatment consists of injections of a special mixture of ozone and oxygen applied around the herniated zone. At the beginning, the therapy requires two treatments per week for a period of one to two months.
On average, a total of 14 treatments are required, depending on the patient. The Discosan method has even been shown efficacious in cases where surgery couldn't even alleviate the discomfort. An interesting analogy used in the Italian medical circles is that ozone will mean for herniated discs is what "ranitidine" meant for ulcers.
One of the main questions often asked about the Discosan method is: "How does this method work?" When we look at the anatomy of an intervertebral disc, we see an outer fibrous covering and an inner soft (pulposus) nucleus, much like a ripe cantaloupe with a hard outer shell and soft fruit inside. A herniation occurs when trauma ruptures a part of this outer fibrous covering, most commonly in the lumbosacral and cervical regions. This then causes the inner soft region to protrude and compress a nerve root, causing the pain associated with a herniated disc. The Discosan method addresses this pathology by three different modes of action:
- The ozone-oxygen mixture has specific action on the protruding pulposus, by acting on a molecular level on the bonds holding this herniation together. This in turn causes a reduction in the herniation.
- The method brings about a microvascularization to this area, therefore bringing more blood supply and oxygen to the region, all essential for healing. Dr. Verga also claims that ozone brings more fibroblasts to the area, which will help heal the pathology around the annulus fibrosus.
- Reduces the edema in the area which can also contribute to the compression and inflammation.
The whole concept of treating a herniated disc without surgery is an exciting one. The fact that the Discosan method has some sound scientific principals gives real hope to people suffering from this debilitating condition.More

Over the holidays, we're looking back at some classic Christmas albums taking some track by track and just digging on others.
Let me just get this out of the way right off the bat: I don't care for Mannheim Steamroller. I think their music is odd and a little creepy. But, that doesn't mean 1984's Christmas isn't a classic or that people love this damn thing. It is and they do.
As we draw to a close this Christmas season and the list of classic Christmas albums, I'd be remiss if I didn't drop in a nod to this very well liked new age holiday record. It has sold nearly 3.5 million copies according to SoundScan, but more than 6 million copies have shipped to stores since it was released and it's apparently great for timing your Christmas lights display (see video below).
The album contains many Christmas favorites including "Deck the Halls" and "We Three Kings." It also has a "suite" of songs that fit into one long new age holiday jam. This is a substantially different record from the sparse piano solos of George Winston's December. Instead, this is lush, '80s synth-driven ambiance mixed with stiffly programmed drum rhythms.

Are drivers prepared to defend themselves if charged with a crime? There are resources available to help people when they suddenly need to prepare a criminal defense. The consequences of drunk driving charges can interfere with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In California, a recent news story tells the story of a man facing criminal charges as a result of an alleged drunk driving accident.
The suspected drunk driver was in Menifee when he allegedly struck a bicyclist. The crash occurred around 2 p.m. The bicyclist suffered injuries to his head and lower extremities, and he was taken to a hospital and treated. Reports say that his injuries were not life-threatening. No injuries were reported for the driver of the vehicle.
The driver was determined to be under the influence of alcohol by authorities. His record shows that he has a history of drunk driving arrests and that he was found to be driving on a suspended license. He was booked into the local correctional facility on charges of felony DUI and causing bodily injury to another person.
This man will soon be facing a court case due to the drunk driving charges. Like many others before him, he will be preparing his criminal defense so that he can present his side of the story and arrange for the best possible outcome for his case. Other California residents facing criminal charges have the right to contact an attorney for assistance with their own criminal defense for any charges against them.

ED2016 3/5 Reviews ED2016 Theatre Reviews
The ME (The Sun Apparatus Theatre Company)
By Andy Leask | Published on Saturday 20 August 2016
One of this company's aims is to "play with the absurdities of life" and they certainly achieve that, as they pointedly skewer society's obsession with youth and faddy miracle cures. The early scenes featuring a self-centred woman and her maid are funny, spiky satire with bite and humour. Things get increasingly bizarre over the course of the play, as a disgraced geneticist and the maid's murderous sister turn up. There are plenty of funny lines and moments in the play, and at times the elements of satire, farce and surreal humour work well. But for me the sheer silliness of events undercut the satirical edge, which is a shame, as that was by far the strongest element.
Zoo, until 28 Aug.

Jurassic World (2015) Movie Review
Mike Matei / June 12th, 2015
June 12, 2015 at 2:35 am
NIce! I'm going today, much more excited now that it has the Cinemassacre's brand of approval.
June 12, 2015 at 2:39 am
I highly recommended, too. I just saw it at the early premire at the movie theatre in my home town. It had a big turn out, and we all enjoyed the hell out of it. And I'm not gonna spoil that ending for ya.
June 12, 2015 at 1:19 pm
Sorry guys, a real-life Jurassic park will NEVER exist. DNA has a shelf-life. Even under ideal conditions, all DNA bonds will be completely destroyed in bone after about 7 million years. And the last dinosaur lived some 65 million years ago.

You must not enjoy many movies.JayRam

I notice you said "in bone"… what about in blood inside a mosquito trapped in amber? Is that any better?ai

Hate to break it to you, but you're wrong. DNA CAN survive: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/dinosaur-shocker-115306469/?no-istJamesRolfe'sNewBaby
June 16, 2015 at 6:28 pm
I love the part near the end, when the T-tex fights the huge, raptor-hybrid dinosaur. The dinosaur gets eaten by a fish, which made me lol.
June 20, 2015 at 10:40 pm
in fact i dont think that was impossible, dna is a code of chemical substances that corresponds a caracteristics and behaviour of another chemical substances in organisms, the genoma research never had stopped, i think that research following that way the genoma code someday could be manipulable, if impossible recreate the exact dna of a dinossaur for example, whereas these tools had be devoloped and the genoma had be full discovered will be possible create an organism who atends the caracteristics of a dinossaur like creature, it will be like play a music of ear without knowing the cipher, i think it was more like a very very very very oustanding hard task, but not so impossible
i dont know english well, if anyone could suggest corrections to my spelling i will be very glad 🙂

So you give TMNT shit for using CGI, but this one gets a "meh CGI ok"? What was it about this movie that it gets a pass?
June 12, 2015 at 3:13 pm
Because CGI is far more understandable to use when you have to do something like lots of dinosaurs running around with people. It looks much better than those lame fucking lizards they just tacked horns on back in the day, I'll tell you that much. Also, the dinosaurs don't have those weird human-like faces the 2014 turtles did.
June 15, 2015 at 12:52 am
the mutagen has the effects of that it takes on the form of what they last had contact with. So why shouldn't they have human life face features. People take TMNT way to seriously. Go knock down Nickelodeon's door with their TMNT adaption of April being young, and training to be a ninja, and Don falling in love with her. that is worse then the movie.frostare
June 12, 2015 at 4:03 am
You know, IMO the sequels (Lost World and III) got worse with each new one, unlike other classics like Back to the Future where 2 is my favorite. The only good thing I can say about III is… fucking Spinosaurus. I'm eager to see this new one looks like there are actually people coming to visit the park! Finally! =DZaphod
June 12, 2015 at 7:14 am
Hey Cinemassacre why no Mad Max coverage? Not fans?
June 13, 2015 at 9:53 pm
I'd be interested in seeing this too. If you just don't have any interest in it and haven't even seen it, fair enough, but it was pretty amazing and I'd be interested to hear what James thinks of it.The Kaleidoscopic God
June 15, 2015 at 12:02 pm
I can already see the headlines: "Worrying lack of Mad Max coverage on Cinemassacre.com – site possibly run by misogynists"

Well, in light of recent events my comment wasn't all that far off. You don't need to parody these people; they do a hell of a job of that themselves.The Wicker Man
June 12, 2015 at 9:46 am
I agree with James 100%. I was 11 years old when I watched Jurassic Park at the cinema, when Alan Grant steps out of the jeep at the beginning and you see the dinosaurs it blew my balls off. Even though special effects have gotten bigger and better over the years, nothing has "wowed" me as much Jurassic Park did. Oh to be young again…
June 12, 2015 at 7:29 pm
JP in the theater was like nothing I'd ever seen before.jasonjrf
June 13, 2015 at 3:15 pm
Yep I agree I was 13 when I saw it and I went with two friends it must have been opening weekend or the next cause the theater was so packed we couldn't even sit by each other every single seat was full. I mean every seat. It's a shame that because of pirating and torrents that probably won't happen again.
June 12, 2015 at 10:01 am
Why won't my comments show up? :/
June 12, 2015 at 10:03 am
This new ad system sucks big time… it plays audio OVER the actual videos…Hanglyman

Cinemassacre has a system that filters out a certain word that begins with f and ends with irst. If you've used that word anywhere in your comment, it just won't appear, with no explanation.Ace

Is that a hickey on your neck, James? What was happening in that theatre?Treise
June 12, 2015 at 12:32 pm
Going to see the movie later today, so before I watch this review, are there spoilers or am I okay?
June 12, 2015 at 1:05 pm
Hey James! Is that a hickey on your neck? Or was Mike just a little too close in the darkness of the theater? ha! Great review you guys! 😀Mexicola
June 12, 2015 at 3:08 pm
I'm sorry guys, not like I didn't want to see this but I basically went this morning based on your recommendation and this movie just plain sucked. I could barely make it to the end. Perhaps you guys were hyped up for a new sequel but this really was just the worst.
June 13, 2015 at 1:21 am
………….Did we see the same movie?
June 14, 2015 at 5:43 am
I am in total agreement with you, Mexicola.Satnav
June 12, 2015 at 3:14 pm
Also, technically the sequels are canon in this film, but that really just shows up in the promotional materials, and as it's set fifteen years later they wouldn't really come up.
June 12, 2015 at 3:14 pm
Well actually you see the skeleton of the Spinosaurus in this film from 3.

Nihil novi but aint so bad like JPIII
June 14, 2015 at 5:41 am
I stopped watching as soon as you said, "It's Good."
Sorry, I thought that the movie was the worst in the series. Bland, generic characters, a stupidly simple plot that came off as more of a monster movie plot than anything else, and cheesy, annoying dialogue all combined for a very dissatisfying and hollow experience.
I'm glad you liked it, but wow, it was awful.
June 14, 2015 at 12:29 pm
To help show the impact of the special effects of JP in 93. The peak for me in realism for a dino special effect or similar to a dino, dragon in this case…was the dragon in Dragonslayer in 1981. (Go motion) More than ten years later when I saw the effects in JP. It blew me away! Ironically the same guy who did the effects in Dragonslayer, Phil Tippett helped do the CG in the original JP.

There is a lot of animatronics and a few CGI in the original Jurassic Park, Phill Tippet, one of most talented stop motion animators was called in to do some effets in the film with his innovation: Go-motion, it his an advanced stop motion system with motion blur, he did some tests, you can see them on Youtube, after that Denis Murren come in with is CGI team and Spielberg said we go with that but Tippet helped the CGI team with his incredible knowledge with Dinosaurs, he is a fan since kid and he did some previzualitions with stop motion to help them do to the shoots correctly, you can also see the previz test on youtube, and for the animatronics there a lots of behind the scenes making them in the Stan Wiston School on Youtube.Markus Reisner

Its a fun movie, but its also very dumb and illogical. And the characters sucked (exposition-spouters and caricatures). The monster scenes were cool though, especially in the main park.

That's exactly what I thought about it too. So much unnatural exposition in this movie.Inqlis

Finally saw the movie. I thought it was maybe as good as Jurassic Park 2. It was ok, but not that great at all. The new Dinosaur that they made up just for the movie was pretty pointless, actual real Dinosaurs based in science and fact would have been a lot more interesting. The romance subplot was a joke and fell completely flat. The absence of the T-Rex was unforgivable. The movie seemed to take place in the future with all these holograms and gyrospheres but for some reason the techy kid is taking pictures with an old fashioned camera with a giant flash.
I am honestly surprised this movie is doing as well as it is and getting all the praise that it is. Jurassic Park 4 was better than Jurassic Park 3, and hovers around the quality of part 2. No Jeff Goldblum though, so maybe a notch down. I love Chris Pratt, but he really didn't bring much here and seemed to be trying to keep himself from cracking up during a number of the scenes. It was distracting.
Obviously they are going to make a Jurassic Park 5, and hopefully that one is better.

That's too bad. I was thinking of going to see this one, myself. In all honesty, though, I think that they should have stopped making the JP films after Crichton's death. It seems that that the series has struggled to find its' footing since then.
Although to be fair, there were problems with the series even before his death, but I feel that the two films made in his lifetime were far superior. Some franchises are best left in the past, and I hope they retire this one before they run it into the ground.

I think it's strongly hinted at the end of the movie that it is the same T-Rex from the original. When the T-Rex climbs onto the helipad in the final shot you can see scars on his neck from the fight with the raptors in the original Jurassic Park.

Actually guys the novel ended with Malcolm in critical condition being evacuated from the island. It never said if he died. Lol Also the Spinasaurus in 3 is an actual dinosaur not a creation. Sorry. I know you probably hate this kind of stuff. 🙂Ben_from_G-town

I didn't think the effects were as good as the old movie. Effects aside, though, this movie was actually pretty good.

It's a whole new Jurassic World… don't you dare close your eyes… a whole new place full of dinosaurs… some wanna get real close and tear out your throat… a whole new world of dinosaurs for you…

Fun and interesting set of review with you both on the screen at the same time. Would be nice if you did the same with Terminator genisys!Rennie Page

James, Mike, the Trex in this movie IS the same Trex from the original. I agree with what James said, about how that particular T-Rex has "gotten around" but you can notice when the Trex is chasing the pig, and when it is standing on the chopper pad at the end of the movie, it has the scars from the raptors in the original movie. I know that the Trex got fucked up by the "new monster dinosaur" and got bit on the neck and nearly trampled to death, but the end scene is really for chill factors and nostalgia, saying I AM THE T-REX. THIS IS MY ISLAND. HEAR ME ROAR lol. When it is released on BLU-Ray I know you'll buy it, but look closely and you'll agree with me, James.The Kaleidoscopic God
July 9, 2015 at 4:43 pm
Apparently it IS the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. This being the case never once entered my mind, but as Rennie says it has scars from the raptor battle. That's neat.

I used to to be a fan of Jurassic Park when I was really little but as I was growing up I didn't like it because they had dinosaurs and I thought dinosaurs were stupid. But when I saw the trailer for Jurassic World I thought it was really amazing and got back into Jurassic Park after seeing it. I am a really huge fan of the all the Jurassic Park movies and World but I don't like Jurassic Park 3. In 2018 they are releasing a sequel and I'm really excited for it.
May 17, 2016 at 8:15 am
Wow, amazed Mike liked this so much. I though it was ehh. Blah human characters, and the trailer gave away 90% of the twists.

Theres this thing I continue to find a way to do. It creeps upon me in some of the best times with impeccable efficiency and in a variety of ways. Sometimes it's due to an innocent feeling of self-doubt. Sometimes its entrance is bold, rooted in deceitful feelings of the need to escape. This thing knows hows to wait for the perfect opportunity to reveal itself. I have only now begun to realize how often I've welcomed it without a second thought. This thing is called Self-Sabotage.
When I decided to start this blog I wanted to make sure I didn't omit the things and experiences that aren't so pleasant. I want to be a help to those that may be going through the same things or may at some point start to go through them. Maybe you aren't familiar with self-defeating, goal obliterating actions and thoughts. Maybe your life has always been and always will be like a well oiled machine running at optimum performance with no sign of strain. If so, more power to you, you are indeed a blessed individual. This post is for those who sometimes have a hard time getting out of their own way. It's for those that feel like there's this never-ending cycle of gaining enthusiasm, hope, and peace followed up with all the necessary action only to single handedly throw it all to the wind to get back to that oh so vigorously hated but often times longed for point of the known and comfortability. Self -sabotage can manifests itself in all kids of ways. It is a habit that can be so detrimental to so many areas of life. It's an ultimate reason so many goals remain unattained, whether they be mental, spiritual, or physical. Self sabotage is a BEAST and we had best find ways to see it coming and put it in it's proper place far, far, far, far away from our thoughts and actions. When I was younger self -sabotage was mostly things like partying the night before something important or completely blowing off anything that I felt presented a little more stress than I was willing to bear. As I get older it seems to be found in little instances that seem unimportant but ultimately are the exact thoughts and actions that will keep one in a miserable cycle of starting and stopping. It's not making that phone call, or not completing that post because it feels a little to revealing or not finishing that flyer and putting it out because who wants to put out flyers and deal with the anxiety of answering that first call or worse yet, not get any response at all. It's eating healthy and exercising all week only to eat enough for ten people on the weekends. I can't fail to mention how it can wreak havoc on finances as well. Have you ever set a budget and followed it to the "T" for a great deal of time and just as you reach your goal you throw it all out of the window with one bad impulse purchase. The thing about self -sabotage is, it doesn't really care how long you've worked on something. It doesn't really care how much you think you want it. Self sabotage will take you out of the game before you even get started and it will also help you blow a 34 point lead in the fourth quarter. As I've thought about it and made the commitment to rid my life of this unnecessary weight I have come up with a few tools to help.
- Keep Your Goals Before You.
Make sure to constantly read your goals and keep them on paper. Read them twice a day at the very least. There's some truth to "Out of sight, Out of mind". When we forget what we are working towards, it becomes much easier to get off track.
2. Don't forget your blinders!
Don't allow your mind to become bogged down with what's going on around you. Life is tough enough without the added struggle of trying to figure out who's thinking what and who's motives and actions are a little suspect. When you begin to step out and move towards your dreams (or try to do anything positive for that matter) you will find that all kinds of mentally and emotionally perplexing things will come from all kinds of unexpected places and people. If you focus on these negatives you will miss out on the wonderful resources and support that's right in front of you. Great things come from unexpected people and places too. In horse racing, blinders are used to keep the horse from looking sideways or behind. This keeps the horse focused on what's most important, What's Ahead. Give your time and attention to those things that grow you and you will be far less likely to self sabotage or should I say Self destruct. Stay focused on what's ahead and you will find everything you need along the way.
3. Take A Break
Sometimes you just need to take a short break. Burnout is one of the biggest catalyst of self sabotage. When we fail to give ourselves a break or small rewards we can sometimes become like a ticking time bomb and at some point you're gonna blow. A healthy mind requires balance. Don't forget there's a family that needs you and you also need you to be healthy. When things start to feel a little overwhelming or you inspiration seems to be lacking maybe it's a break alert. Take it. Just make sure it's not another case of Self Sabotage ;).
4. Have Some Plain Old Self Control
There is very little that is worthwhile that can be accomplished without discipline and self control. I would be playing myself and you if I failed to mention that a lot of Self sabotage is rooted in momentary lapses in self control. It's as simple as wanting to have fun. Or wanting that new gadget. The YOLO way of thinking has to be handled with care. It can very quickly become an excuse for making dumb decisions. In order to get where we're trying to go there are going to have to be some sacrifices and by nature sacrifice requires giving up something. Sacrifice usually doesn't feel good at the moment it's given but it pays back with interest. So make sure to keep your thoughts and emotions under control and your actions will be sure to follow.
I hope these thoughts help someone as much as they've helped me and I'm really striving to make self sabotage a thing of my past. Life tends to bring all the external resistance we need. Let's not add to it with problems of our own making. If you've made it this far thanks for reading and I'm about ready to ramp this DaddyBe thing up so look for more in the near future.

Bitcoin Bomb Scam Sweep Across U.S. And Canada
Bitcoin Bomb Scam was sweeping around U.S. and Canada, however, counterterrorism officials confirms that email bomb threats for bitcoin ransom was a hoax.
A number of bomb threats asking for bitcoin as ransom emails to several people in the United States on Thursday. However, counterterrorism officials now confirm that they were a hoax.
There was an initial scare as the staff of hundreds of businesses, public offices and schools across the United States and Canada. They receive awkwardly word messages threatening to set off explosives unless $20,000 are given in bitcoin.
However, the terror subsided within a couple of hours as local authorities investigated to discover these electronic extortion notes as a scam. The bomb threats came in the form of spam emails demanding recipients provide ransom payments in cryptocurrency.
"I write to inform you that my man has carried the bomb (Tetryl) into the building where your business is located," read one of the emails posted to social media. "It was assembled according to my instructions. It can be hidden anywhere because of its small size, it cannot damage the supporting building structures, but there will be many victims in case of its explosion," the criminal continued. The other part of the mail requested that the victims must pay up before the day runs out.
Local investigators traced one of the emails that targeted a St. Louis-area middle school to an internet protocol in Moscow, the sheriff's office in Lincoln County, Missouri said.
However, U.S. government sources inform Reuters that their findings are currently inconclusive. Additionally, federal investigator doubts that Russians or the Russian government's involvement.
Nationwide Bomb Scam
The bomb scare email was seen in at least 13 locations across New York City, and in Colorado and San Francisco, there was massive evacuation when they got the email too. There were also threats in Iowa, Idaho, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, and some other states. These determine to be hoaxes by local officials.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation releases a statement in response to the wave of bomb threats. They state, "we are aware of recent bomb threats in cities around the country. Also, we remain in touch with our law enforcement partners to provide assistance."
Some people on Twitter also claimed they got similar spam emails demanding ransom in bitcoin. Moreover, claiming a bomb would detonate at their business, school, or home if they did not comply.
Cybercriminals are using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, demanding for ransom due to the currencies' anonymous nature. Chainalysis, a U.S. cybersecurity firm, estimates that from 2012 through 2017, global ransom payments using bitcoin totaled at least $31 million.
However, the price of bitcoin has been doing so poorly in 2018 that some people feel they will soon become useless to even these criminals. Want stories similar to this in your inbox? You can sign up for the daily Coinpedia newsletter.

On "I Am Going to Cook a Quiche in My Easy-Bake Oven And You Are Going to Like It" by Roxane Gay (557 words) *****
This short piece is deceptive and fun. It works that deception by providing us a list of details that lead us in one direction while also leading us in another--and that's also what makes the piece fun, and funny. This is also a story told in the future tense, which is something one doesn't see often (in fact, I don't think I'd ever seen it until I wrote such a story myself a few years ago). Here, that future tense is effective because it is also a mood: "will" is "willing," a set of commands. And that adds to the humor as well--these commands, merged with the aura of romance. The childlike and the romantic, the dictatorial and the loving, all blended into one in one fantastic little spiced pie you can read here at McSweeney's Internet Tendency.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Looking at the critical areas and key players as No. 3 Ohio State looks to clinch a spot in the Big Ten championship game at home against Indiana on Senior Day (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN2).
Focus first: Everywhere the Buckeyes look, they'll find something that can cause a distraction. The BCS standings provide the easiest way for the Buckeyes to lose focus, because they are keenly aware of where they stand, the narrowing lead they possess over No. 4 Baylor and how important it is to win easily against overmatched opponents. But there is also a school-record winning streak on the line, a chance to clinch a share of the division title that would send them to Indianapolis for the conference title game and an emotional pregame ceremony planned to honor the seniors, and all of that could spell a letdown if Ohio State isn't locked in on the task at hand. Urban Meyer has been working overtime this week to ensure that doesn't happen.
Put it in the ground: After all the years of questions about why Meyer hasn't had a running back put up a 1,000-yard season, Carlos Hyde is set to emphatically put that conversation to rest once and for all. The senior has made it look pretty simple, in fact, and he needs just 53 yards against one of the nation's worst rushing defenses to hit that milestone despite missing the first three games of the season. The Hoosiers are allowing more than 250 yards per game on the ground, and the suspect tackling and assignment errors that have popped up for them defensively this year doesn't bode well against Hyde or Braxton Miller, who have been on a tear in the backfield for an Ohio State offense that ranks No. 4 in the nation in rushing.
Health nuts: Some help appears to be on the way back for Ryan Shazier at linebacker, and plugging Joshua Perry back in the rotation should alleviate some of the issues that popped up for the Buckeyes last week in a somewhat sluggish defensive outing at Illinois. Curtis Grant is still questionable with ankle and back problems, but having two healthy starters at the second level might be enough for Ohio State, given how frequently it figures to be using its nickel and dime personnel against an Indiana offense that throws for an average of more than 300 yards per game. Perhaps most important for the Buckeyes is getting a healthy Joey Bosa back on the field at defensive end, because the pressure the freshman puts on opposing passers has a way of making the jobs easier for everybody behind him.
Shake it off: Miller might have been due for an off week throwing the football coming off such a hot streak to close out October, and the poor weather at Illinois was obviously a factor in a 13-for-29 performance that looked little like the 68-percent efficiency he's delivered this season. With Miller and Hyde having so much success on the ground, it hardly made a difference anyway as the Buckeyes rolled to 60 points and another victory. But Meyer has stressed all season the importance of balance between the rush and the pass, and Miller might need a strong start through the air to keep the Hoosiers from loading the box, making him prove that he can bounce back from a shaky outing.
Something special: A season of airtight coverage on special teams finally had a hole poked in it last week, with injuries starting to take a toll on the kicking game for the Buckeyes. They've spent plenty of time trying to develop offensive players into tacklers to avoid a repeat of the 67-yard punt return for a touchdown they allowed last week, and guys like Warren Ball and Ezekiel Elliott will need to be sharp on the coverage units against a team that is capable of finding a hole and exploiting it. The Hoosiers rank third in the Big Ten in punt return average, and they've already taken one punt back for a touchdown this season.
