Prince Oberyn Nymeros Martell, known as the Red Viper, is a member of House Martell and is Prince Doran's hot-headed younger brother. He has eight bastard daughters, called the Sand Snakes, the four youngest of which by his current paramour Ellaria Sand. Some rumors hold that he is bisexual.[2] His squire (and one of his many rumored lovers) was Daemon Sand. In the television adaptation Game of Thrones Oberyn is portrayed by Pedro Pascal.
Appearance and Character
- See also: Images of Oberyn Martell
Oberyn has a lined face with thin eyebrows, black "viper" eyes and a sharp nose.[3] His hair is lustrous and black with only a few silver streaks and recedes from his brow into a widow's peak.[2]
Oberyn is a forceful, lusty man with a quick wit and barbed tongue. He studied at the Citadel for a while, and apparently forged several maester links but eventually grew bored and left the order. Oberyn had traveled the world, and even founded his own mercenary company. He had a very close relationship with his sister Elia and they were inseparable as children.
Oberyn rides a black stallion with a tail the color of fire. He wears a pale red silk cloak and a shirt armored with overlapping discs of bright copper. His helm is adorned with a copper sun and he owns a steel round shield in the Dornish style that is decorated with the sigil of House Martell.[2]
Oberyn is an exceptional fighter, his speed and skill with both spear and sword are renowned. In battle, along with his brightly-polished round shield, Oberyn wields an ash spear eight feet long with a steel spearhead and spike. He chooses to wear lightly armored greaves, vambraces, gorget, spaulder and steel codpiece, in addition to supple leather and flowing silk. He wears a helm without a visor and scales of gleaming copper over his byrnie. [4]
Early Life
In his youth, Oberyn was fostered at Sandstone.[5] At sixteen, Oberyn was found in bed with the paramour of Lord Edgar Yronwood, so the lord challenged him to a duel. The duel was to first blood, given the prince's youth and high birth, and both took cuts. Lord Edgar's wounds festered and killed him. Oberyn has been known as the "Red Viper" ever since by friends and foes alike, due to rumors that he fought the duel with a poisoned blade.[2] Afterward, Oberyn was sent to Oldtown and then to Lys in temporary exile (though it was not called exile) in order for House Martell to make peace with House Yronwood, Quentyn Martell was sent as a ward to House Yronwood.[6]
Oberyn had traveled extensively in the Free Cities, where he learned much about poisons and perhaps even darker arts. He had studied at the Citadel, going so far as to forge six links of a maester's chain before he grew bored. He had soldiered in the Disputed Lands across the Narrow Sea, riding with the Second Sons for a time before forming his own company. It is said that he beds both men and women, and has begotten bastard girls all over Dorne. The Sand Snakes, men call them.[2]
Oberyn, however, does not let his children grow up wanting: he takes responsibility for them, and actively seeks to help raise all his children (something few lords do when it comes to their bastard offspring). He teaches them how to defend themselves and allows them great independence in growing up.
When Oberyn was young, the ruling Princess of Dorne planned to wed Oberyn or his sister, Princess Elia, to one of Lord Tywin's children, or both of them to his twins. For that purpose, they visited Casterly Rock, where they met Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion Lannister. However, they arrived shortly after Joanna Lannister's death, which left Lord Tywin unreceptive. He offered the newborn Tyrion instead, which was seen as an insult.
Oberyn is also primarily responsible for giving modern revitalization to the ongoing feud between his House and the Tyrells, because he accidentally crippled Willas Tyrell in a tourney. Oberyn struck Willas's breastplate clean, but his foot caught in a stirrup as he fell and his horse fell on top of him. Oberyn sent his own maester to help treat Willas. Willas himself holds no grudge against Oberyn and the two correspond via raven message even after the accident as both share a passion for horses.[2] Prince Oberyn was unhorsed by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Ser Barristan Selmy at a tourney at Storm's End.[7][8]
Events following Elia's murder
Oberyn had a very close relationship with his sister Elia. Following the Sack of King's Landing, when he learned that she was raped and murdered by a Lannister knight, Gregor Clegane, along with her son and how her daughter was killed by another Lannister knight (Amory Lorch), he attempted to raise Dorne for Viserys. The new Hand, Jon Arryn, was able to keep the peace, but Oberyn has desired revenge ever since.[2] He seldom left Dorne in a public capacity thereafter.[9]
He and his brother Doran worked in secret for years planning on bringing an end to the reign of Robert Baratheon and destroying House Lannister. Oberyn traveled to Braavos where Viserys Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen were being kept by Ser Willem Darry and signed a secret pact that the Sealord of Braavos witnessed, promising Viserys the hand of Arianne Martell in return for Dorne's help in claiming the throne.
Recent Events
A Storm of Swords
Prince Oberyn comes to King's Landing to claim the seat on the small council on Prince Doran Martell's behalf and obtain justice for his sister Elia Martell's murderer, as was agreed with the acting Hand of the King, Tyrion Lannister.[2] However, it soon becomes clear that the new Hand, Lord Tywin Lannister, means to forgo that promise. Tywin plans on lying to Oberyn and claiming that the now deceased Ser Amory Lorch is responsible for all three deaths (Lorch was guilty of the death of only Rhaenys).[9]
Oberyn gives King Joffrey Baratheon a red gold scorpion brooch for the royal wedding. [10]
When Tyrion is accused of Joffrey's murder, Oberyn is one of the judges. The day before a judgement is to be pronounced, Oberyn offers to be Tyrion's champion in a trial by combat, if Tyrion tells who is guilty of the murder of Elia. Tyrion takes Oberyn up on his offer. He denies any involvement of his father but tells Oberyn that Lorch killed Rhaenys and Ser Gregor Clegane killed Elia and Aegon.[11] Oberyn knows already that Ser Gregor will be his adversary.
Despite his enormous physical disadvantage, Oberyn using speed manages to wound Clegane several times and cripple him by finding chinks in his armour and severing his hamstring after the Mountain tired from chasing him. As Oberyn approaches Gregor to finish him, the prostrated Clegane grabs hold of Oberyn and smashes his armoured fist into Oberyn's face, killing him: dashing out his brains after first destroying his teeth and knocking out his eyes. Before killing Oberyn however, Clegane roars his guilt in killing Elia and Aegon for for all to hear. [4]
A Feast for Crows
Oberyn achieves posthumous vengeance by having coated his spear in a special kind of poison, leaving Clegane to die slowly and in tremendous agony.[3]
Oberyn's daughters, the Sand Snakes, seek vengeance for his death; Prince Doran Martell orders Areo Hotah to place them under arrest to keep the peace.[3]
A Dance with Dragons
Tyene Sand mentions that she knows about the poison her father used on the Mountain and that if his spear so much as broke Cleganes skin then he is dead. [12]

i noticed but he was not shoeing our clients so that wasnt our concern , nice to bump into another farrier that would talk and work along side us though , its how it should be , a lot seem intimidated in the prescence of other farriers
Interesting you say that, when they are training I tell them that they should keep working and always talk to other farriers when in the same yard.
we find a lot leave when we turn up or move around the corner so we cannot see them or talk , seems pretty pathetic but thats how they operate
Im telling a lie there is one yard a farrier does one or two i actually spoke to him for 15 mins the last time i was in the yard and he asked me if i would take his son for a few days a week
John we go onto several yards that 200 plus horses and 25 teams or more there , most have different farriers for there own reasons , language being a big one , another being that a one man band cannot cope with the numbers involved , many of ours are shod on a 4 week basis because that is what the pro demands
I don't get having to bump the toe. It seems a lot of extra time & effete just to make it harder to fit to a properly dressed hoof. Are well each to their own I guess.
Can you guys take on someone like that or is there steps involved thru a board or the apprentice systems... And when a apprentice is taking on by a master does the apprentice get paid in any form other than an education and or does the master get paid by the government for teaching..
If they go the college road they get paid by the college when in college when on the road with the master the master pays them they do 40 weeks in college over the 4 year apprenticship
http://www.mustad.com.au/shop/2/product/32/page/0/lb_front_22x_8_toe_clip/ Just to prove a point The LB is a very popular lefts & rights drop forged shoe used regularly on big warm bloods & clumpers . Its not bumped up in the toe & fits up nicely. because it isn't bumped at the toe.
I woudent like that breed of shoe Jack the LB would not like the clips,heels, nail holes or the toe on them in front and i have used them in the past
I'm no fan of them ether not my first choice in shoe . but they fit up & nail ok on some thick walled horses. I don't know how you dress your hooves. But when I dress a hoof up the last thing I want is to thick a web in the toe of the shoe that doesn't match what is in front of me after I have dressed the hoof . Having to leave excess toe on just to accommodate a shoe that was made to look pretty but doesn't really fit well with out leaving a heap of toe on. doesn't sit well with me. The farriers riddle you fit the shoe to the hoof & the hoof to the shoe.Its that simple. If you don't understand that then you got a long ways still to go. Some never get there Because they cant see the wood for Trees .
Jack You jump the toe for a few reasons as I am sure you know, but for the benefit of others i will explain. The outside of the metal is stretched when you bend the toe, so if it were half inch then it becomes 7/16 or less, and the inside becomes thickened, say 9/16 so it looks crap. It is a bit of a jugling act putting metal here and drawing it there but to finish a shoe nice it needs to be done. The other problem in a 3/4 fullered is the fuller or crease widens the metal and the jump in the toe alows the shoe to be the same thickness through the radius. If correctly finished the jump will have no consequences in the fit. God its good to have you back, feel free to give me stick as I wont burst into tears. xxxxx
I've Never had to bump the toe in a shoe in me life to get a shoe that fits best & falls on & my shoes fall on which is more then I can say for some of what I see past off as good work at some these comps. shoes hanging out on the medial side & bull dust spoken its what the judge asked for.WELL FIND A BETTER JUDGE BECAUSE ITS A MAJOR FAULT WORTHY OF BEING SENT BACK TO LEARN HOW TO SHOE A HORSE. If correctly finished the jump will have no consequences in the fit. Well tell that to all those mugs that cant seem to fit them. Define a nice shoe. Are you meaning because you an any other half wit thinks it looks pretty. OR nice because it fits well an serves the horse best. David you better have a word to your son about the concave he fitted to that horse . the pretty police have just decided. dubbing that concave section looks shit. All those in favour say I I!!!!!!!! & the horse well we wont worry about him his only got to wear them.
He is learning and I will pass on your views, Interestingly they were his thoughts to and with encouragement from you I see him making more effort in the future, thank you in advance.
I'm not knocking his work. If it fits up well & suits the horses gait then Dubbing the toe of the shoe it is. OR should he leave the concave section full because it looks pretty.

Forest Township, Richland County, Wisconsin USA
HERE THEY SLEEP Narrative
Catalogued May 22, 1975 by H. A. Dieter and Doug Chroninger. Located 3.6 miles north of Viola on Wis. 131 in section 6, Town of Forest. Wis. 131 turns sharply eastward at the northwest corner of Lawton, which is also the east and west county line between Vernon and Richland Counties. The old Kickapoo Railroad tunnel runs through the mound and under the highway but a few rods east of the cemetery. The old site of Elk Mound School, Joint District No. 17, appears directly west of 131 and the cemetery. The cemetery ground lies on a steep hillside facing west toward the highway. It is poorly kept, mainly because of the extreme pitch of the slope. There are at least 2 unmarked graves plus the 26 known burials. The first known burial was in 1865, the last in 1936. It was reported that a workman was killed during the construction of the Kickapoo Railroad tunnel near by and was subsequently buried here at Lawton. The above data plus other statements and plat records received by one Harold Lawton, LaFarge, Wisconsin, was gratefully accepted as the final data on a burial ground that would otherwise have been largely incomplete.

I just read Chief Goldfeders comments concerning the response of DHS for this mess down south. I also urge you to read it.
When DHS absorbed the Fire Administation as part of their restructuring I could already read the writing on the wall as to the path they would be on. My main objection at that time was that the Assistance to Firefighter grants would be cancelled. Well they did not cancel the program but they did dilute it trying to tie it in to Homeland defense. My view in this situation is that the United States will experience more situations such as natural disasters than they will acts of terroism and that we should prepare for them accordingly.
I have seen grants awarded on state levels so that agencies can "Bullet-Proof " there means of communications. Yet in this disaster communications were one of the first things to fail.WHAT WERE THEY SPENDING THE MONEY ON? Integrated command has been a buzz-word lately how much money was spent on this training and how fast was it forgotten.
As most of you know ..in an emergency we do not have the luxury to sit down in committe and discuss what we are going to do. These plans have to be in place and all people on the same page. I do not believe that the Federal Monster called DHS can move fast enough in its buracrecy to do this. History has proven over and over that the fire service is expected to step to the plate in times like this. History has also proven that whenever times are good the fire service gets tossed to the side and stepped on. I dont know if I am more mad at the DHS for trying to act like an emergency response agency or the fact that our federal representatives in the fire service rolled over and accepted the subservant position they were put in. We as the responding personnel must let our government leaders know that we do not condone how things were handled by the DHS and to our federal fire leadership that we do not accept being involved as a subservant part of that group.
Please read Chief Goldfeders article, and I look forward to your replys to see if my views are wide spread or if maybe I need to step back and evaluate my position. My thoughts and prayers are with the all those involved in this tragedy.

GMS also acts as a surfactant due to its specific gravity and weight 11.4 lbs per gallon.
It's absorption rate is about 30 min for the N and K2o and up to 12 hours for the P2o5.
It can be applied undiluted up to 2gal per acre provided you have the means to produce a fine mist like with an air blast applicator.
It's best applied in the morning and late evening with a dew or humidity over 60% and temps below 80.
It can be augmented into a fertigation system with a home owners irrigation system.
It can be applied as frequently as 2 week intervals. At the recommended rate of 2 gal per acre, it should feed from 6 to 8 weeks.
It's one concern is hard water. If you have hard water you must use a Ph reducer or vinegar to combat the calcium in your water from binding with the phosphorus.
Thanks man, I didn't have a chance to call you earlier.(Supper and visiting at the Mother-in-law's) I had planned to call you but felt it was to late when we were done. We are warm season turf here and you said it worked great on warm season turf. Using 1/4gpm air induction tips on the Z-sprays we use, It looks like I'd still use about 8 gals of water in addition to the 2 gals of product to cover an acre. At this rate, would it still be effective as a foliar feed? Humidity and temps are favorable around here except for about 3 months out of the season.

All morning it was overcast, and I did necessary chores, editing work, and errands. Just now the sun came out, and so did a blue jay. I stood gazing at him for a long time, then carried on with my yard chore (collecting some columbine seeds); he was unconcerned. Then I moved toward the woodland corner, looked up in the trees and saw the downy-chested fledglings. It's a whole family!
I know blue jays can be bossy, noisy, and sometimes eat littler birds, but they are so beautiful! Thanks to Wikipedia and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife service for the blue jay image!
Meanwhile, as summer issues keep pouring out, I have some more poems up online, this time at Fickle Muses. Like a blue jay, Cassandra is sort of over the top in this set of persona poems that took over my life last fall. (The title leads into the first line in two of these, so just ignore my name):

An electrical power surge a few days after Thanksgiving was a jolt not only to the several appliances I lost but also to my calendar and pocketbook. The time spent on multiple calls to my insurance company, ComEd, repair shops, appliance stores – there are many more – left me spinning. Who had time for this?
While my losses added up, it struck me that for a dental office, where equipment runs into the thousands of dollars, the ripple effect on the practice, patients and schedules is much larger.
In my case, a 12,000-volt line fell on the 4,000-volt line that serves my neighborhood, unleashing a powerful surge that ruined appliances, computers, electronics and more. But lightning strikes, construction mishaps, and high air conditioning demand also can trigger unexpected electrical surges or fluctuations.
Think about all the ways your office relies on computer systems: appointments, accounting, patient charts, financial records, just to name a few. A surge that disables your systems could immobilize your practice for days.
Specialized dental equipment is another obvious concern. Some equipment has built-in surge protectors, but not all, and the loss of high-performance equipment like digital radiographs and scanners could tally in the thousands.
I've learned that there are some proactive measures to take:
Another sensible idea is a checklist of what you and your staff should do during a power outage. Dental insurer TDIC recommends a few steps:
Be sure to note that they need to be contacted to reschedule appointments. No one expects a power surge or outage, so protect your practice now and save some headaches later (I say, while waiting for a new dishwasher to be delivered).

Yeah this sucks i remember that i have used wifi before, but when im trying now it doesnt work. The same thing happens to me. I'm pretty sure it is because the older games are incompatible with certain modems/routers, although that's just a guess. Maybe they closed the servers for the older games? Servers closed to a 3-4year old game? Unlikely. Im having the same problem too!! I feel ya bro,but I have the same problem at my dad's house,and he has WEP Wi-Fi! me too Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 0 votes Best answer I think I know what the problem is... See, there are 2 "main" types of wifi, one known as WEP, and the other as WPA. All Gen 4 Pokemon games are ONLY compatible with WEP, unless you buy accessories to make work with WPA. So even though your 3DS may get access to the internet with WPA wifi, your SoulSilver, along with a lot of the pre-DSi games (including the DS & DS Lite), will only allow access to wifi with WEP or an accessory such as a NWFC USB. So really, its either... Make piggy bank less full & buy an accessory that allows you to play online. Change your wifi router from WPA to WEP (If you dont know how, dont try it) Be like 95% of other people who have WPA and just stick to Gen 5 games. answered Jun 13, 2013 by Lusty selected Jun 15, 2013 by Jofly I have WPA so is that the reason why it doesnt work? I Have a friend that has WEP I gonna try his internet. Well, I have white 2 and it still doesn't connect with WPA... Yes, WPA with Gen 4 games are a no-no. My BW2 doesn't connect either though when my brother's does. Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Okay, here you go: Error Code: 51099 Most Likely Cause: 'It appears that the settings entered into the Nintendo DS are not compatible, or the router's broadcast settings should be changed.' How to fix: 'Try creating a new connection with your system.' If you need more help, go on to 'Google' and type up Nintendo Error Code 51099. It should help. Okay, nevermind. I found an old answer relating to this: the question: my sister's heart gold game won't connect to wifi but my black game will why is this? the answer was...

smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and
other applications, today announced its consolidated financial results for the
first half and second quarter ended June 30, 2008 . Revenues for the first half
"These results are due to a shift in the revenue mix in the payment sector from components intended for the US contactless card payments market to greater sales of readers, solutions for the mass transit market, EasyPark and more, as well as contactless payments in non-US markets," said Oded Bashan , OTI Chairman and CEO.
Mr. Bashan continued: "We continue to focus on controlling and reducing
our operating expenses to the most efficient and effective level required to
carry out our current and pending pipeline of projects for 09' and 10'. While

quarters to show up in the P& L. We continue to shift our focus toward high
margin projects with recurring revenues combined with commercial rollouts. We
believe our actions will pave a clear path to profitability for OTI. We
continue to have a strong and healthy balance sheet with
"As we've indicated before, it is our belief that most of the significant delays are behind us and we are confident about the Company's growth," said Mr. Bashan.

France - Bordeaux
From: 2015.06.28 To: 2015.07.01
Lovers of wine, food, festivals and culture should book their spot in Europe's largest square this summer. Each year Bordeaux celebrates what it does best with a fantastic four-day festival in celebration of wine. The event includes a parade of exceptional Bacchus floats, wine tastings, classic and world music concerts, tours of vineyards and wine barrel races, not to mention plenty of great food and drink. Young and old alike can learn more about the art of wine growing at an educational exhibition called 'Vintage Grapes'. The celebrations come to an end on the final Sunday with a spectacular riverside fireworks display that illuminates the night sky.

According to both Hoke and Denard postgame his arm wasn't injured and he could have thrown. Just no passing plays were called for him. All aboard, the Fire Borges train is leaving the station. |
2 years 23 weeks ago | Do you think he is back |
Do you think he is back playing QB by then? We'll probably play one of LSU, Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina. So I don't know if it's such a sure thing. If in at RB it's more likely he gets 40-50 yards on 10ish carries while the game slowly devolves to Smith/Rawls 1 yard runs and mistimed play actions. |

Exactly. If Borges is still OC next season I will be disappointed but still think we can have success. I would really prefer if people would discuss who they would like hired rather than just yell "rabble, rabble, rabble, fire Borges." |

2 years 29 weeks ago | A lot of snowflakes like this |
A lot of snowflakes like this could really be diaries with more work. You could go through the stats of the 2011 team through the same number of games last season. Compare top performers of last year vs this year. Unit vs unit production and see where there is more or less statistical production from last year to this year. That's the kind of thing people coud really have a discussion about. You really just gave your opinion with nothing to build off of. I think that on offense our receivers/tight ends are more athletic with Funchess and Gardner but less experienced. And therefore more prone to mistakes or a tendency to disappear (i.e. lack of targets or receptions) during a game due to lack of separation. Our line is bigger and more suited to the Borges offense but also less experienced. Denard and the RBs are pretty much the same. If the receivers go with athleticism rather than inexperience and Denard does his thing then this offense is better than last year. That is with regards to potential rather than actual on field performance though. On defense, our D-line is the new unit and I think that they are also more suited to the Mattison system. Due to the size and athleticism of Campbell and Washington I think they are a better fit against the run because they can effectively occupy the O-line and allow linebackers to flow to the ball. Their inexperience with regards to technique hurts with pass rush though, sometimes also against the run. Mike Martin could just go all beast mode on fools. The loss of Countess hurts but the rest of the defense are the same guys with more experience. Overall, I feel when the D-line does what they are supposed to this years defense is better than last. The pass rush is worse but I think good coverage helps cover up those warts to some degree. What people said about this being a better team with a worse record seems pretty accurate. However, if the team plays to its potential I think they can definitely run the table. |
2 years 29 weeks ago | Gordon has been playing well |
Gordon has been playing well with 13 goals in 23(13 starts) games but there has to be a reason Altidore is left out. This would really hurt his confidence if it's just a case of him not being deemed good enough for the roster. The guy has 8 goals in 6 games in the Eredivisie and he has shown some real class in the games I've seen. Maybe an injury? He did get a red card this weekend but I didn't see any of that game. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | "focus on the plays that are |
"focus on the plays that are being called and not on the ones that could hypothetically be called" The argument is that a defensive player doesn't have that luxury. They have to worry about all of the plays that could hypothetically be called from a given formation. Don't look at bubble screens alone. That's just one play designed to keep the OLB from coming around the end on a blitz so quickly, and keeps things like that fumble from happening. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Well Bell is gonna get all |
Well Bell is gonna get all ready to leap over Floyd's head...only to be slammed down by Ryan for a loss. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | That's on a designed run. A |
That's on a designed run. A lot of Denard's good runs come on reads where Fitz isn't blocking for him. I was just saying that Fitz should have at least done better on the read handoffs he received. Denard gives him the ball and options off a defender. At that point on a read play Denard and Fitz have the same blockers vs defenders. That's not a comparison of the two (Denard is obviously a lot better) I'm just saying Fitz was really terrible. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | I don't know. Is 200 to 50 |
I don't know. Is 200 to 50 really a shootout? |

"Fitz... Suffered today from the "8-9 guys in the box to stuff Denard and I don't have an extra blocker like he does and we are not passing the ball." Even still, 1.1 ypc sucks." Well Denard managed 235 yards on 24 carries with the defense focused on him. The threat of Denard on the reads that Fitz got should have helped not hurt him. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Weren't passing. Instead kept |
Weren't passing. Instead kept running Fitz. Two drives where long Denard runs took us to the red zone. Then terrible Fitz runs on 1st and 2nd. The second time we got a chop block on 2nd too. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Well power running isn't the |
Well power running isn't the smartest against Alabama. In a game like this one Rawls is a better power complement to Denard's speed. Fitz had neither power nor speed. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Yeah. Crossing the middle of |
Yeah. Crossing the middle of the field is where WRs get blowed up by LBs. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | I played center field. :) |
I played center field. :) |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Exactly. The SS had to run so |
Exactly. The SS never had time to establish himself under the ball because had to run so far. When he heard something he thought it was the left fielder calling him off. That doesn't look like an ordinary/easy catch. It looks like an infielder running far into the outfield and then the ball dropping due to miscommunication between the infielder and outfielder. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | If he could have made the |
If he could have made the catch why didn't he? The call was so late the shortstop couldn't have known it was an infield fly. He was never under the ball seeing as he stopped and the ball landed beyond him. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Cards fan? The infield fly |
Cards fan? The infield fly rule is supposed to be applied to ordinary catches so that you can't intentionally drop an easy catch and get a double/triple play. It was pretty obvious that the shortstop didn't feel comfortable with the catch and miscommunication between him and the left fielder caused the ball to drop. That kind of thing happens all the time. |
2 years 30 weeks ago | Hey, that's where I was for |
Hey, that's where I was for my Wife(Girlfriend) Day! People are saying that Georgia has no defense but you can't just look at this game and the boxscore. A pick-six and the two turnovers inside the Georgia 20 which led to Tennessee TD's stopped this from being the blowout it could have been at halftime. Also, what other times can you remember a defense making such good and bad plays in one game? They scored a TD and put the offense in position for two more but also gave up 51 points with some long TD's where they got manhandled. I guess as one annoying woman kept saying near me, "Anythang can happen in the ESS-EEE-CEE!" |
2 years 31 weeks ago | "That's assault, brotha." |
"That's assault, brotha." |
2 years 31 weeks ago | In terms of yardage Ohio has |
In terms of yardage Ohio has the worst defense in the B1G, giving up 394.75 yards/game with 277.25 passing and 117.5 rushing. They're 5th in scoring D giving up 17.3 points/game. They've played four unranked teams with a combined record of 5-9 all at home. Hard to say how this game will go though, seeing as Michigan State can't throw their way out of a wet paper bag. Seems to be strength vs strength with Bell against Ohio's run defense. I say edge Ohio. |
2 years 31 weeks ago | When we ran it against |
When we ran it against Minnesota it was on a 2nd and 4 from the 17 at the beginning of the second quarter. Vincent Smith had 3 carries for 19 yards and a TD up to that point, including a 10 yard run on that same drive. There was actually a threat of him running the ball. This was our second drive and Smith had 0 carries. The safety was not thinking "Oh no, a Vincent Smith toss to the outside! He has been gashing us so I'd better come up in support!" Instead he got to be all "Oh wow, Te'o is about to kill this gu...Oh here comes the ball." |
2 years 31 weeks ago | That's the kind of play |
That's the kind of play you run on 3rd and short when the D is trying to cheat up and stuff your "obvious" run play. It doesn't make sense to try and trick a defense when your regular plays work fine. And Dileo was NOT wide open for a RB pass play. Did you see this play the last time we ran it? Dileo was wide open then and he still had to drag his feet by the sideline to make the catch from Smith. |
2 years 31 weeks ago | Denard threw 291 passes to |
Denard threw 291 passes to Tate's 84 in 2010. Tate also had 4 ints so Denard averaged an int every 26.5 passes to Tate's every 21 passes. |
2 years 31 weeks ago | I agree with you that Denard |
I agree with you that Denard played terribly. Throwing three consecutive interceptions (the fourth was a hail mary so whatever) is horrible even for a high school QB. I just think that blame can also be put on Borges for play calls that seemed to magnify Denard's weaknesses. How can you not just call a play to complete a screen pass or something and give him some confidence after the first two back-to-back interceptions? Also, does anyone else feel like Denard is scared to take hits in the pocket? There are plenty of times it seems like he can step into a pass and take the hit but instead throws with his feet sideways. The guy runs with no fear but throws like he is scared out of his mind. |
2 years 31 weeks ago | I agree that there are plenty |
I agree that there are plenty of times where poor play can be blamed on poor execution by the players. However, looking at these plays what happens if they are executed perfectly? The interception plays where Denard has pressure in his face immediately he basically just needs to take a sack. While not even near as bad as an int that is still not a good outcome. The Smith pass play made absolutely no sense. Smith had no carries up to that point and is Michigan's blocking back so the DBs were looking more for pass than run. And when it turned out to be a run they still weren't going to come up fast because they have Te'o playing LB. |
2 years 31 weeks ago | You could really collect more |
You could really collect more excerpts and links and make a diary out of it. And maybe compare and contrast opinions. This is just a "Joe Cowley's Opinion" thread. Also, he says that Denard should have left when Hoke became the head coach. Well, Michigan and Denard won a BCS bowl last year so that is really stupid. |
2 years 32 weeks ago | Florida Atlantic had -1 |
Florida Atlantic had -1 passing yards at halftime against Alabama. I am quaking in fear of the Alabama-like defense of Notre Dame. I mean they manhandled Michigan State! MICHIGAN STATE!!! |

Next year. Dantonio:"I don't deserve this, I'm building a football program." Hoke:"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." |
3 years 28 weeks ago | Coming into this season I |
Coming into this season I kept thinking that I don't care how explosive Denard can be at times, I just want him to manage the game properly. There is nothing wrong with Denard's throwing when he sets his feet and throws to an open receiver. My problem with the situation is that I am sure in practice Denard is composed, makes good decisions, and delivers the ball well. The only game this season where I thought he properly managed the game and made good decisions throughout was the Minnesota game, which was essentially a scrimmage. In games against decent competition he dances around and throws some of the worst passes I have ever seen from an FBS team's Junior, starting quarterback. And you guys need to realize that this isn't a question of Devin starting over Denard, but rather what position Denard should be starting at. Should Denard remain a QB, or should he be moved to RB or Slot WR. I would like to see what happens if Devin was QB with Denard as RB for an entire drive. I feel this would give us our best chance at winning. IIRC, we ran a couple of jet sweeps to the left around Lewan with Denard coming from the slot receiver position to the right and getting the handoff from Devin, each of which got 10+ yards. |
3 years 28 weeks ago | The point of a quick pass or |
The point of a quick pass or screen to where the blitz is coming from is that you don't have to pick up the blitz. The defenders overrun the play on their sprint to the quarterback. Plays like that are typically supposed to be checked into when the defense shows their hand. Is Denard even allowed to audible, or do calls have to come from the sideline? The one time I really remember him reading blitz was when he tried the quick slant to Vincent Smith who was a RB playing in the slot and obviously wasn't ready for the quick pass. |
3 years 28 weeks ago | Yes, it was a mistake on |
Yes, it was a mistake on Smith's part for not recognizing the blitz and turning to catch the ball on a quick slant. I thought it was a bad read by Denard because he should have thrown the simpler pass to Kroger running a curl route. He was just turning as the ball was released and could definitely have made the catch on a ball thrown with his back turned. The guy covering him was playing poor coverage because he was 5+ yards off him even though MSU was blitzing. That play also showed mistakes from Borges. Smith is a running back and it isn't that crazy to see a running back make a mistake like that when running a route against a blitz. Borges should have played the slot receivers more often and had them ready to adjust to blitzes with quick slants. Instead a RB was put in the slot and didn't know what to do against that double LB blitz. |

MSU has a decent defense but they're no best defense in the B1G. Wins A 2-3 FCS team Youngstown State. 28-6 A terrible 0-5 FAU team; 112th passing with 143.2 yards/game, 111th rushing with 86.8 yards/game, and 115th scoring with 13.6 points/game. 44-0 A 2-4 MAC team in Central Michigan (that lost 44-14 @Western Michigan if you're into that whole transitive property thing); 58th passing with 233.5 yards/game, 94th rushing with 117 yards/game, and 95th scoring with 21.2 points/game. 45-7 A trainwreck 3-3 Ohio in a game for the ages (not in a good way); 111th passing with 146.3 yards/game, 48th rushing with 169 yards/game, and 86th scoring with 24.3 points/game. 10-7 Losses Depantsed by a 4-2 Notre Dame team (that Michigan slipped past at home UTL); 32nd passing with 273.5 yards/game, 30th rushing with 194 yards/game, and 44th scoring with 32.3 points/game. 31-13 Michigan is 89th passing with 200.5 yards/game, 7th rushing with 257 yards/game, and 21st scoring with 38 points/game. The poor passing ranking is due mostly to gameplan and playing to our strentghs, as demonstrated by the 7th overall rushing ranking. Obviously we can score points, and Denard threw for 338 and 337 in the two games where passing was actually necessary. I think the game will be decided by Michigan State's offense failing to keep up with TOP eating scoring drives engineered by Denard and Gorgeous Al Borges. |

Has anyone else taken note of how the defense has looked conditioning wise? I feel like they play hard through the end of the game. Improved TOP is probably a factor in that as well. |
3 years 29 weeks ago | That's all well and good, but |
That's all well and good, but I'm just ready to pull down the "Days since Michigan beat Michigan State" clock and smash it into little pieces. |

Doctors say Zeta-Jones' candor will be helpful to other adults suffering silently with bipolar.
"I think Catherine Zeta-Jones has broken a huge taboo by actually talking about bipolar. This is a serious illness that affects a good 2 to 3 percent of the population -- to actually talk about it not only bravely but with some candor is a heroic thing to do," said Dr. Soroya Bacchus, a psychiatrist. "That kind of heroism inspires people to talk about their own issues and maybe seek treatment that they never would have done unless Catherine Zeta-Jones of stature, her celebrity would have talked about this."

The R Word

People sometimes have different opinions on this matter. I know of a couple of kids with special needs who use the word "Retarded". Mostly to be accepted by their peers and to be liked by them as well. But I also know some parents of special needs kids who let the R word slip out from time to time. It's something that a lot of people in this society have grown too comfortable with doing. And this vulgarity is something that shows no compassion, no love, no heart to our fellow family of the world.
I for one, think that the use of the R word is highly offensive and repulsive to use. Many special needs kids and adults understand why the R word is used in everyday language, it is a slang for saying something is stupid… but considering the official medical diagnose for some one who suffers with mental challenges is retarded, it is NOT OKAY! You are spitting on people who have done nothing to deserve such treatment and I ask of you to consider what you are doing.
In my opinion, the use of the R word is just as wrong and hurtful as the use of the N word (nigger) and the G word (gay). The only difference is that special needs affects all genders all sexualities all races! Why show hatred and nonacceptance for people who have struggled in ways unimaginable to us. Their challenges are often with things that you and I take for granted, and to be further pushed away by people who haven't even bothered to get to know them.
Special needs individuals want the same things we all want, to be happy and accepted and loved. By using the R word you make it that much more difficult for them to belong and feel whole in their own world. By saying the R word you say to them, that you don't fit in with the rest of "us". Special needs can be a very lonely and secluded life for some, especially when the whole word demonstrates that you don't belong in it.
If we can eliminate the use of the R word we can open up the world to the special needs community, we can give them a chance to feel like they aren't disabled and that they aren't handicapped (which they are not). We can give them love, acceptance, and happiness.

DDtrac Upgrade: Administrator Dashboard, Report Drill Down & More
We have made a variety of updates to allow for more thorough and efficient analysis of data for groups of students as well as for all of the students at sites. The updates made as a part of this upgrade are summarized below:
Group Dashboard: The group dashboard was changed to provide more information than before and to more closely resembling the dashboard for individual students. Previously the group dashboard included 3 charts: Performance on group probes, performance on group gradebook assignments, and the past 4 weeks of behaviors, by student. To those three charts we added:
- The most recent past comment for each student to the group.
- We also added a chart summarizing the average performance on individual student instructional objectives (by student) – where performance was % of data taken that was at mastery.
- We also added click through for each group chart. If you click on the chart, you should be taken to a set of chart summarizing similar data for each student
Attendance/Schedule Reports/Charts: We also have added or modified the following new charts and reports to the Student and Group site:
- Attendance Status Report: This summarizes the data for each service type, when generated for an individual student.
- Attendance Charts (shows actual attendance hours)
- Scheduled Hours Chart (Shows Hours Actually Scheduled)
- Attendance Status Chart (Shows the schedule status, Cancelled, no show etc) for appointments
Administrator Dashboard: A new dashboard was created for the Administer site tab. The dashboard has 2 primary views – Accounts with multiple sites will see all of the data for all of their sites – charts will be stacked column charts with a column for each site. They will also have the option to select a site from a dropdown list – and see the entire dashboard for only that site. Single site clients will see the single site view when they open the dashboard. Charts in the single site view should be pie charts – except where specified below.
- This dashboard has a table summarizing the services students are eligible to receive on the left
- The dashboard shows a list of "Alerts" warning of upcoming IEPs and Triennial evaluations (from the student placement record) as well as upcoming meetings and evaluations (from the schedule module).
- The Administrator Dashboard also includes up to 4 charts (depending on what is activated for the site and/or what data has been taken for)
- Actual vs. Required Services Comparison Overview Chart
- Attendance Status Overview Chart
- Attendance Hours Overview Chart (only shown if no required services or schedule data)
- Instructional Objective Performance Overview Chart
- Behavior Overview Chart
Administrative Overview Reports/Charts: DDtrac now includes the following reports and charts under Administer site -> Overview reports. These overview reports and charts can be generated for all students in an organization by site administrators:
- Attendance Overview Report
- IEP Status Overview Report
- Instructional Objective Performance Overview Chart
- Behavior Overview Chart
- Attendance Hours Overview Chart
- Attendance Status Overview Chart
- Scheduled Hours Overview Chart
- Actual vs. Required Services Comparison Overview Chart
Archive Data: We added the ability to archive ALL data for an account. This can be done under "Administer Site" Download Data, Group Data "Archive". This data download feature should download ALL student data for the group (e.g. Instructional Goals, Instructional Data, Behavior Goals, Comments & Milestones, Attendance Data etc…).
Finally, we have added the ability to "Click" on most Group Reports, Group Charts, Administrative Reports and Administrative Charts. The purpose of the clickable features is to allow you to drill down and show more detailed views of your DDtrac data. For example, you can click on site name in a report and then view the corresponding (more detailed) chart for the individual student(s) for the site (or group).
For charts, you can click on the entire chart to be taken to a set of charts for each site or student appearing in the first chart. e.g. IEP Objective performance for a group to IEP Objective performance for each student in the group.

Game Plan: What if my child is autistic?
By Amanda Gregg

Autism: For a parent
As I am sure I have mentioned before, I work with four autistic boys and one girl and my sibling is one of them. If I ended up having a child who was diagnosed with autism I would first start by applying for medical assistance (there is a four year wait-list typically) then I would look to early intervention. Children with a developmental disability can be provided for by elementary schools who are legally obligated to begin teaching and aiding these children once diagnosed until at the proper age for regular school. Early intervention is critical to the child's development of necessary skills. Aside from the possibility of being developmentally delayed, he or she should progress seemingly like a normal child. However, lack of verbal ability might be highly prevalent and a lack of social ability and affection is extremely likely.
I would provide my child with qualified therapists and providers to help him or her to develop life, social, safety, and flexibility skills at home after school. Flexibility is key to avoid problematic behaviors later in their life considering that persons with autism are intensely reliant on consistency and no change. After that I would most likely have my child go to public school unless he or she needed greater care then the school can provide (which is often the case); in which case I would find a highly qualified private school for special needs education and have my child attend that school (most allow the child to attend from an early age to age 21 and are occasionally year round as well).
Once my child is at a high school age I will be sure that in addition to the skills we had been working on we will work towards independence as well, and make social skills a necessity in my child's curriculum. Also just like any family I would be sure to fill my child's free time with entertainment such as movies, hiking, camping, swimming, etc. With trying to still live a fulfilled happy life, these activities can be extremely difficult; however, it's important to not give into verbal spats or aggressive behaviors. For your child's benefit it is necessary to push through these behaviors and have the task completed. A temporary break is fine, but as long as the task is finished eventually is what needs to be done.
Finally, I would apply my child to SLS services to receive funding still to help with the lack of income my child will likely not be receiving. Also, after the age of 18 I would also have to apply for guardianship of my child. Then I would provide my child with a home of his or her own with a 24/7 care provider. Depending on my child's ability to be independent it is possible to be autistic and live on your own; however, I have not met any individuals with autism who have that ability. So being prepared this is the route I would take. Behaviors might still occur, verbal communication might still be absent, and affection is still likely to be inexistent; but my child deserves to feel like an adult independent of his or her own parents.
After my death, my child will still be receiving what he or she needs because I would have set aside money for my child to be financially secure for the entirety of his or her life. Also, in my will there would be a suitable guardian to step in line to care for my adult special needs child in my absence.

DDtrac Upgrade: New Schedule Module
A schedule module has just been added to DDtrac. The schedule module was developed to aide users in planning out daily activities by for themselves and their students by service type. Busy users are provided with a set of services that are typically scheduled for students receiving special education services in categories ranging from "Speech Therapy" to "Respite" and "Community" among others. Once a service type is selected users simply input the specific nature of each time block, including when each appointment should be started, where it occurs. Appointments and full days can be planned in advance & viewed for a day, week or month via a practical graphic calendar. Furthermore, service types are color coordinate for convenience.
DDtrac schedule data allows schedules to be created/viewed for individual users, students or for groups of students. Schedules can be created and edited by individual users or by administrators/schedulers. The scheduler supports:
- Creating appointment for an individual student or for a group of students
- Specifying the type of service that will be provided at an appointment (e.g. speech therapy)
- Creating recurring appointments
- Comparing scheduled service hours with the hours required in the student's placement information to verify that enough therapy hours are being scheduled.
- Checking for schedule conflicts when a new appointment is created.
- Setting an appointment status to allow therapists, teaches and administrators to quickly check to see whether or not scheduled appointments are occurring.
The figure below shows a work week schedule for an individual student:
- Weekly Schedule -
See Schedule Data in our user guide to find out where to find the student, user and group schedules. See the pages below for additional details on how to use the new schedule functionality.

Helping Songs

Hello everyone, here are the songs I promised.
First one I learned from the physical therapist I worked with at Adams Camp. Great for at home or transition activities and great for a classroom!
Lyrics, sung in the same tune of "If You're Happy and you Know it Clap You're Hands" with clapping always helps too!
"It's time for us to move along!
It's time for us to move along.
Our time is done but we sure had fun!
It's time for us to move along!"
Here is a sample of myself singing the song:
Second song also great for transitions from play to work is the song from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
"Hi ho!
Hi ho!
Hi ho!
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.
Hi ho, hi ho it's off to work we go.
We had our fun now there's work to be done!
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho!"
Repeat as many times as necessary for your kiddo (maybe on the way from location of playing to work area).
Here is another sample of me singing the song…badly:
Then for the reverse, going from work to play you can do the same song with a slight alteration but with the same melody.
"Hi ho!
Hi ho!
Hi ho!
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.
Hi ho, hi ho it's off to play we go.
We did our work now there's fun to be done!
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho!"
Hope this is helpful.

As if traveling isn't stressful enough already, try it with someone with special needs. Flying holds a great potential for a huge melt down to occur.
However, one of the number one things we strive for in the special needs community is to allow our kids the ability to do anything and everything that could bring them happiness. So here's my tips for flying with the type of environment and security required in the USA:
Give plenty of warning to your kiddos on what's going to happen and how it's going to happen.
Select a time for the flight that you know you kid can comply with.
Make sure that your carry-on is stocked with anything you might need on the plane for your child (ex: food, medication, back up medication, entertainment, etc.) Really think this over, don't just throw it all together at the last min.
Now before reaching the airport, go over again with your kiddo what is going to happen. And vividly go over what security is going to be like.
Be sure you have their ID and ticket as well as yours in hand when you get to security.
Security lines can be lengthy sometimes. So be prepared to provide your kiddo with an intervention of some sort that will keep him occupied while having to wait. Like the game I spy, or a song (my next blog will be on transition songs and other good distraction songs).
As soon as you get to the security check line, make sure you have your things good to go through the scanner and get your self ready for inspection as well as your child. Talking them through the whole process. Taking off shoes could seem weird to them so maybe practicing "airport" at home before hand might be a good idea.
The scanner they have at my airport requires you to stand in a certain position, once again this can be difficult for our kids. But practicing before hand could make this possible, or just having a conversation with security. They have the ability to do something differently.
If you are concerned that your child will wander during security scan and you have two people (yourself and another companion) you could have one of you go first (a model for the kiddo) and then send the child into the scanner and then going your self. Or once again just ask security to make sure they don't wander while your being scanned.
Next you will transition and put back on shoes and get your things. This could seem weird to your child and they might get angry. Transition song or intervention might be a good idea. As well as of course, preemptively talking to your kiddo about what's going to happen.
Once you get to your gate, talk to the attendance for your flight. Most airlines have accommodations to make sure you get a seat together as well as being able to board first.
Before the flight make sure your child has eaten, gone to the bathroom, and is stable. And enjoy your flight .
If you're highly concerned about how your kiddo will be during the flight, you can talk to your child's physician to be prescribed for a melt tablet (or whatever you know will work for your kid) that will allow them to sleep on the flight.
I know that this sounds like a lot of steps but it is completely do able and after the first time, it will be a lot easier for your kiddo. The first times the hardest and then it's cake from there!!

Bavarian Festival
- Verybecoming, CNN iReport producer
I visited this festival in Passau, Germany in April 2012. While Bavaria is renowned for its Oktoberfest festival in Munich, it is usually impossible to find seats in the tents or receive service. Fortunately, most cities and towns in Bavaria offer their own festivals throughout the summer, which are much less crowded and more enjoyable. These towns conveniently host their festivals during different weeks, making it possible for a determined traveler to hop from festival to festival throughout the entire summer season.
What do you think of this story?

JEFFERSON CITY — More than 600 ABB employees welcomed Vice President Joe Biden to their manufacturing facility in Jefferson City on Thursday, when he came to show the Obama administration's support for job creation, economic investment and energy independence.
Biden thanked the workers for their contributions to develop a wind farm near Maryville.
"Our main market is commercial housing, and that market has gone down the tubes," said Jerome Wulf, a repair welder for ABB.
Wulf said the factory has laid off employees three times in the past year, most recently in February. With each layoff, 80 to 90 factory workers have lost their jobs. In the mid-1980s, Wulf was one of the employees the factory let go.
"I started working here again less than a year later," Wulf said. "You have recall rights for one year."
Currently, the plant employs about 650 people. Now that Wulf has worked for ABB for 32 years, his seniority has protected him during lay-off periods. For the past three months, he said, business has been looking up.
Bob Fesmire, ABB media relations manager, said that wind farms are a "growing business" for the company.
"The more we can do with renewable energy, the less we have to rely on the housing industry," Fesmire said.
ABB has been working with Wind Capital Group, a Midwest-based company, in developing plans to build Lost Creek Wind Farm, which is planned as the largest wind farm in Missouri. A contractor for the company submitted the purchase order for the transformers that ABB will begin producing in the next several months.
When completed, Lost Creek will provide 150 megawatts of wind generation capacity, which is enough to heat more than 50,000 homes. Fesmire said the wind farm will require one transformer for each of its 100 turbines.
"When the power comes out of the wind turbine, it's at a low voltage," he said. "The voltage needs to be stepped up so it can merge onto the grid."
Capital Group decided to move forward with plans for Lost Creek this spring, after the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided incentives to construct wind energy projects in 2009 and 2010. Groundbreaking for the wind farm will take place in August, with project completion and power flow estimated around July 2010.

The city is deep in debt; it's got a state-appointed board managing its finances, so it's gotta cut services it can't afford. Services that it can't afford in part because it's a city built for two million people that's now home to just over 713,000.
So street lights could be a luxury Detroit can't completely afford.
