This route is about 1/2 way between Skyline and Worrells. Look for the first bolt very high up with a large tree close to the base. You can either climb straight up to the bolt with no decent gear on thin but solid climbing or traverse in from the ledge system just off the ground on Skyline. Eiter way you run it out a bit. Great climbing, a long pitch if you go all the way to Broadway in one lead, but the clips are a bit of a stretch for short folks.
The intermediate belay was put it to allow rapping this with one rope if I remember correctly.

Fantastic climb! It's not the traditional seneca style either. It's much more sporty.
It is definitely run out throughout the whole climb, but the holds are really positive and the moves are solid. It's very slightly overhanging after the 4th bolt.
We rapped down bee sting, then to a tree then all the way down. Seems like there should be an easier way to go, but we were running out of daylight.

What if you live in an apartment, have no tools and no woodworking skills but want to build a CBG? Click
to see my solution.
How To Play The 3-String CBG
We start out with tuning the CBG and how to read the Tab. Then we introduce the
Steady Bass
technique. On top of the steady bass we add some
and combine them into a song called
Ten Mile Stomp
After that we introduce the 12-Bar Blues and some great
Blues Licks
. Like we did with the steady bass, we combine these licks into a
12-bar solo
12-Bar Jam Session
gives you a chance to practice the solo or try out licks of your own.
If you work your way through this course you will be playing some great funky blues on your 3-String CBG!!!

Why the rush? The owner has already stated that this will be Reid's last season, depending on the W-L record. Let the man enjoy his last few games for the Eagles organization. He deserves that much.

Man, you've got to feel for Andy Reid....what a rough couple of years for him.
yeah i mean i can understand the loyalty card we pull out...but leaving his starters in during a blowout at the very end of the game? having a ridiculous amount of talent at the CB position and still cant stop the pass? trading for a CB instead of a much needed lineman or safety? sticking with vick even tho hes a turnover machine? if he didnt have a good history with PHI and didnt go thru what he did with his son, i think they would have let him go by now.
Whats the point of firing him right now when the season is somewhat lost? no point in paying for Reid and an Interm Head Coach.
Its true, Reid is having an awful couple of seasons, but the guy deserves some respect and should be allowed to finish the season.
PSD's c_reinert
I personally liked Andy Reid until a few years ago. Hes definitely the blame for the issues in Philly....hiring an OC for a DC position was one issue.
But as a fan I constantly see him taking the blame for his team struggles....basically admitting hes the problem.

The demise of this guy tells me how good a freaking football coach Jimmy Johnson was. Seems like he was the heart and soul of this team. They were never the same after he passed away.
Let him step down and pursue Gruden, Cohwer or start all over with a young HC. But either way you look at it a decision have to be made ASAP.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 18-1 Signature of a Champion!
Cameron Jordan is awesome
12.5 sacks and this http://instagram.com/p/jfs5DemKo3/
I've thought it was time for him to go for a while now. He has never won anything in that city - So why keep giving him a chance? He's had a number of teams that should have gone further. And maybe it wasn't his fault that they didn't go further. But you need to shake things up sometimes. He's never won and it's been OVER a decade. Come on now. Change is needed sometimes.
I think when he does leave he might take some time off from coaching football. He has had a bunch of family issues and he just might be burnt out. I am sure its hard enough to be the head coach in the NFL as it is but throw in his family issues and that's just rough. They know they aren't going to the playoffs so just let the dude finish the year out and start looking elsewhere. Its not like they can bring someone in today and completely turn around this team.
Plus they need a real QB, feel bad for the dude.

What do you think? On the left of my signature picture it's wet and on the right it's more-or-less dry, but with no leave-ins or oils. It sometimes gets a bit spirally round the edges when it's several days after washing and hasn't been combed much.
Texture is varied but mostly medium; ponytail diameter is 3" (excluding fringe).
The siggy pic hasn't appeared! I must be doing something wrong, or maybe I don't have enough posts yet. I've now put it in my profile pic so that people can have a look.

LAS VEGAS, Nev.---The Chattanooga Mocs (3-5) ran away with an 87-76 win over IUPUI (1-7) in the Las Vegas Invitational in Orleans Arena. Senior Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) led a quintet of Mocs in double digits tying his career high with 27 points.
Mason was joined by Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) and Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) with 14 apiece. Lance Stokes (Orlando, Fla.) tied his career high with 13 points which was matched by freshman point guard Greg Pryor (Memphis, Tenn.).
"Our guys did a great job today - especially on such a short turnaround like that," Head Coach Will Wade commented. "We did a phenomenal job of following the scouting report, and I thought we were in great shape. We wore them down.
"This was one of those games where you win it in June, July and August with your training."
Chattanooga built on its 12-point halftime cushion early in the second half. Mason made it a 15-point affair, 55-40, with 15:25 to play. The Jaguars rallied.
Donovan Gibbs capped a 16-3 run with a layup with 10:59 to play. That's as close as it would get. The lead went back to eight in a mere minute after three consecutive possessions with Mason's three-pointer from the corner making it 64-56 at 9:59.
The Mocs slowly pulled away from there. They took their largest lead of 16 points, 79-63, on a Jones jumper in the lane with three minutes remaining. They went six-for-six from the free throw line down the stretch to preserve the 87-76 win.
Chattanooga's work on the glass was a key in the win. It dominated the boards by 16, 37-21, grabbing more defensive rebounds (27) than IUPUI had total (21) for the game. Mason and Jones shared game-high honors with nine, while Stokes added another seven. Marcellus Barksdale led the Jaguars with five.
Ja'Rob McCallum came off the bench to keep IUPUI in the game. He tallied 25 points including three-of-five from three-point range. Ian Chiles had 15 points, while Khufu Najee added 13.
The Mocs shot 58.8 percent (30-51) from the field, 45.5 percent (5-11) from three-point range. Both numbers are season highs. The squad has now shot 50 percent or better in three of the last four contests.
"I am really happy for the guys," Wade added. "We have been making progress incrementally. As a coach, you see the progress and want the progress to be about the process. It's a bottom line deal for players.
"The progress has to be wins or losses," he concluded. "It was really good for our guys to get a win and see that what they're doing is paying off."
Chattanooga remains on the road Monday at Georgia. The 7:30 p.m., date with the Bulldogs ends a five-game road stretch. Fans can watch on CSS, listen live on ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in Chattanooga, or go to the men's basketball schedule page on GoMocs.com for links to audio (free) and live stats can. You can follow @GoMocsMBB on twitter for live updates as well.

"Collaborative and Enlightening" describes the 3-year effort by Coates Design's Matthew and Ruth Coates in designing and building their first home. Located on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle Washington, the architect couple's endeavor was a true team effort that included design, contracting, and labor toward the finished product. The couple's sweat-equity is evident in the home's site-milled siding, movable casework, and concrete countertops.
For the architectural remodeling of Knowles Residence, Coates Design opted for a profound lifestyle makeover. The aim of their design was to breath a new life into a mundane dwelling, transforming it into an architectural living space with soul and character. "The existing house had no "heart" and no place to naturally congregate as a family or with friends. No one place in the house felt comfortable. We set out to remedy this with great momentum and ultimately, success."

Cardinals Working To Appease Fans, Season-Ticket Holders Wanting to Catch All-Star Game
Categories: News
According to Joe Strohm, VP of ticket sales for the Cardinals, this is MLB's game. They essentially take over the stadium for all the week's events, and reserve about 14,000 seats right off the...uh...bat (e.g., for sponsors, players, to meet contractual obligations, etc.).
Strohm says that those with Cardinals season tickets will have an opportunity to get seats, but the exact locations of those seats haven't been determined. The club will contact season ticket holders in April with more details.
If you don't have season tickets but want to attend the game, Strohm says you'll be able to register to win tickets. Those details are still being worked out as well.
"It's a very complicated process," Strohm says. "We'll know more as we get closer to the game."
This will be the 80th All-Star Game. St. Louis has already hosted it four times. The last one was in 1966. It was 105 degrees.

Daniel Wayne Tester
A gunman's bandana fell from his face during a home invasion, allowing his victim to recognize him and eventually resulting in his arrest, Johnson City police said Thursday.
Daniel Wayne Tester, 19, 131 Taylor Road, was one of two people who committed the robbery in the early morning hours of Nov. 14, police said.
About 12:45 a.m., the victim was working in his yard when he was approached by two people wearing bandanas over their faces and carrying guns. The pair forced the man into his residence and took his money.
During the robbery, Tester's bandana fell from his face, and the victim recognized him.
Johnson City Police Department investigators found Tester on Thursday and arrested him. He was charged with aggravated robbery and jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $50,000 bond. A Sessions Court appearance was set for Friday.

There are plenty of reality shows where the drama is totally staged, but it looks like on Mob Wives, the beef is for real, at least between Karen and Drita. Karen has been holding a grudge against Drita for years now because of what she sees as Drita's disloyalty, since Drita married Karen's ex-boyfriend, Lee D'Avanzo. Their confrontation came to a head this week (check out our recap for all the details) but Karen is taking this fight offscreen and talking smack about Drita on Twitter.
Karen tweeted this weekend "@dritadavanzo now you are a s— talker over twitter HUH???? REAL FUNNY…I guess @dritadavanzo is sayin that me & her were not REAL friends. Well if were were not REAL friends then I have nothing to PROTECT!!!!!!" Later, she also wrote "I don't hold grudges I can't forgive or trust liar. Life is 2 short for grudges but to long not learn from your lessons" and "#mobwives guess I am gonna add another chapter in my book and dedicate it to a special someone :-)… call it THE TRUTH." We assume all of these are directed at Drita, whom Karen seems to think has issues with truth-telling.
The only thing Drita has posted about the situation on her page is a response to someone asking about her relationship, where she writes "No they broke up years before I came into the pic..I didn't take him…" and beyond that, she sticks to writing her usual, hilarious tweets. We're hoping to get to the bottom of their beef though, this has clearly been an ongoing issue and not one Karen is easily letting go of.

I continue my current obsession with redaction criticism with this offering from Donald Senior's The Gospel of Matthew: "Redaction Criticism assumes that one can detect in Matthew's presentation of the disciples some of the circumstances of his own community context and the evangelist's particular response to his situation. Literary criticism agrees that the reader is expected to identify with the gospel's portrayal of the disciples and to see there is a certain mirror image of the Christian life. There is also an area of Matthean studies where the assumptions and ecclesial experience the interpreter brings to the text can also have a significant influence" (1997, p.64).
How else can one understand Matthew, other than that of concerned pastor and evangelist theologian? From heritage to resurrection he is revealing Jesus as both Christ and Immanuel. Increasingly I am convinced that the Sitz im Leben of Matthew cannot so easily be divided between the Jesus of history and the Matthean community. The narrative is, at every turn pointing to Jesus Christ as a present reality; whether it be in the sizmos of life or the ethical imperative of his words. It would seem to me that the horizons do not so easily separate; and nor should they!

Had ordered takeout from this restaurant and it was not good! The rice was hard and the chicken was juice-less.. there are many other restaurants that are better in nyc

My friend and I were looking for good Persian food, and we were very pleased with Colbeh. Not only was the food very delicious and hearty, but the service made us feel so special. We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere so much. We ordered the platter for two, and the quality of the meat and rice was excellent. We will be coming back again and again :)

This is probably one of the best Persian restaurants in town. The food was very good (tried salmon with green rice, and white fish with orange rice). The menu is on the pricey side, but the portions are very large. The food is kosher, so you won't be able to have yogurt or doogh with your kabob. Somebody has said earlier that this makes the food unauthentic. I don't know exactly what that means, other than that the person was ignorant about the great cultural and food diversity of Iran.
Posted by JGP on 12/24/2008
I was shopping for a kosher restaurant in the City for my mom's big birthday. To make a long story short: Service & décor – BEYOND A+++++ Appetizers – cold were great, hot were so-so Main course – save room in your stomach – sizable portions and everything was exceptionally tasty!!! Desert and coffee/tea - if you are making a reservation in advance, ask the manager to save some tiramisu for you. Otherwise, just enjoy flavorful tea and very good cappuccino. Colbeh was a great experience but remember that this Middle Easter/Mediterranean cuisine is not for everyone, so if you have never eaten anything like this, don't complain that it is not your cup of tea – just be open minded and enjoy!
Posted by Persian Man on 06/14/2008
All the coments that talk about the food not being "authentic" Persian because it is Kosher are way off base. Jews lived in Persia for more than 2,500 years (that's on the order of 1,000 years before Islam even existed), and were part of the cultural landscape there. Their food is every bit as Persian as foods more typical of Persian Moslems or other Persian groups. The food at Colbeh is Persian Jewish food. If you're looking for yogurt with meat, you won't find it here, becasue Persian Jews wouldn't eat that. That being said, I do wish that Colbeh would vary the menu a bit. They should have some daily specials. There are many more Kosher Persian dishes that are not on their menu.
Posted by N/A on 04/11/2008
I've eaten at Colbeh a few times in the past month and I think some of these complaints about authentic persian food are unwarranted. You can NOT have all the traditional properly prepared Persian dishes in a kosher all-meat restaurant. The food is tasty, reasonably priced, portions good, and I found the service to be vastly superior to most other kosher restaurants. I am a repeat customer. For kosher dining, Colbeh is relatively very good
Posted by atahini on 03/17/2008
I am Persian. I eat and cook traditional Persian food and was excited and happy to spend (what little) money I had that week on a dinner at Colbeh. I was pretty disappointed, mostly because I found the traditional tastes of what makes Persian food glorious to be lacking. Lamb, yogurt, rice to name a few ingredients are indelibly entwined in traditional Persian food. So, go if you're kosher and want an example of what Persian food can be - but skip the trip and $ if you're looking for REAL Persian cooking and tastes.

The Good Thief
Nolte as a good actor? He is very good.
By John DeSando, WCBE's
In ?The Good Thief? Nick Nolte plays Bob Montagnet, a down-but-not-yet-out Bogie, a very bright thief, and a heroin addict. Natsa Kukshianidge's femme fatale, Anne, is a 17-year old Bacall. It's the south of France--Nice and Monaco-- and it's time to relieve Monte Carlo of some precious paintings.
Picasso is the model for Nolte's scamming talents: Picasso's conflicted painting of a woman with 2 sides to her face is the appropriate analogy for the duality of the young girl, both innocent and depraved, and Nolte's gambler, good and bad as the title suggests. Picasso?s being accused of stealing from everyone adds to the allusive charm.
The caper involves a Judas deceiver to support director Neil Jordan's frequent Christian motif (Remember ?Jude? in "Crying Game"). The ?crucifixion?s? good thief, Nolte's thief, is good to the young Anne by saving her from the pimp. Jordan again joins an unlikely couple (Consider Fergus and Dil in "CG"), here a father figure with an errant daughter.
The winding roads of the Mediterranean shoreline are also fitting metaphor for Nolte?s tortuous path to redemption. The requisite drying-out scenes, where Bob handcuffs himself to the bed and rejects Anne's offer of sexual freedom, are effective realism in an otherwise stylish film that eschews clarity and ingenuity in favor of some character development and much atmosphere.
The scenes at the casino are smoother than "Casablanca's," slicker than James Bond's, and lighter than "Croupier's." When Bob and Anne begin their end of the elaborate heist by challenging the house odds, there is little to worry about their losing but much about the philosophy of gambling, of going all the way regardless of the outcome. However, Jordan?s take on slick thievery is not really different from that found in the recent ?Confidence,? ?Heist,? or ?Ocean?s Eleven.?
The denouement is hardly logical or dramatically tight: Does an ex-thief go clean? Does he save his Mary Magdalene? Does he stop his losing streak and addiction? Does he pull off the heist? None of this is the point.
Bob as a "good thief " is all that matters.
And Nolte as a good actor? He is very good.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE's "It's Movie Time," which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org on Thursdays at 8:01 pm and Fridays at 3:01 pm.

explore the outside world and a reminder of how much she values
the Hope community.

country," says Hauser. "I continually learned new things
about myself, people I met and different cultures as well. And
it has proven to be an enriching and wonderful opportunity, one
which I am very glad I took!"
While Hauser thoroughly enjoyed the challenges of studying abroad,
she also found that they made her appreciate the supportive environment
at Hope.
"There is such a sense of community and welcomeness in
and surrounding Hope College," she says. "I love the
fact that at Hope I know or recognize most of the faces that I
walk by on my way to class. I love the fact that I can stop by
a professor's office unannounced and sit down and have a half-hour
conversation with them."
She considers her relationships with Hope faculty members an important
part of her growing experience.
"Professors at Hope are not just concerned with grades
and papers but have a genuine regard and concern for their students'
academic, personal, and spiritual well-being," she says.
Hauser has appreciated the way that Hope's Christian character
manifests itself college-wide. She says, "Hope is unique
in that its Christian community has become such a large and integral
part of the school without it being forced upon anybody."
Through her involvement with various volunteer groups, Hauser
has found that this spiritual involvement and sense of community
extend outside the boundaries of campus.
"One of my favorite non-academic experiences at Hope was
participating in a spring break missions trip my sophomore year
in Loysville, Pennsylvania," she says. "A group of
students and I spent a week at a farm for men who were recovering
from a variety of problems and/or addictions from their past. This
was one of the most enriching experiences of my life."
A religion and psychology double major, Hauser hopes to extend
her spiritual interests as well as her passion for volunteer work
in her future after Hope. "Although I have yet to develop
a distinct vision of a vocation within my fields of study, I have
been thinking about a post-graduate career in theology and possibly
going on and teaching at a collegiate level," she says. "But
I think that for several years after I graduate I would really
love to travel and perhaps do missions work."

How to get to Capri
Capri is a beautiful little island in the Bay of Naples and so, to get here, you'll need to take a boat! Ferries to Capri depart from Naples and Sorrento. In the summer months, sea crossings are also available from Positano, Amalfi, Salerno and the island of Ischia.
For much of the year, you will be not able to take your car or motorbike to Capri: non-resident vehicles are allowed to circulate on the island from November to the first week before Easter only. In any case, a car is of very little use here: there is just one carriageway on the whole island and public transport is excellent.
Where to park your car on the mainland
- In Naples
- Parcheggio Buono, Molo Beverello +39 335 499658
- Parcheggio Brin, Via Marina (from the car park take the bus or a taxi to the port) +39 081 7632855
- In Sorrento
- Garage Marina Piccola +39 081 8781306
- Parcheggio Correale (from the crapark take a bus or taxi to the port) Tel. +39 081 8773022

How to arrive on the Island of Capri from Rome
Getting to Capri from Rome will take at least three hours. You only have to miss a connection, and the journey will take considerably longer. If you are due to arrive in Rome in the late afternoon, it's well worth considering spending the night either in the Italian capital or in the city of Naples and heading on to Capri the next morning.
From Rome Fiumicino Airport: take a bus to the Roma Termini railway station and from here take the train to Naples.
There are different types of train:
- Eurostar Freccia Rossa (TAV): this is the fastest train, taking just over an hour to reach Naples from Rome. Tickets cost circa 40.00 euro.
- Intercity: take about two hours to reach Naples from Rome. Tickets cost circa 20.00 Euro.
- Interegional: it may be the cheapest option (tickets cost about 10 euro), but it's also the longest: it will take you 4 hours to get to Naples from Rome.
From Rome Ciampino Airport: take a bus to Rome's Roma Termini railway station and, from here, a train to Naples.
How to arrive on the Island of Capri from Naples
Naples has two ports from where to catch ferries to Capri: Molo Beverello and Calata di Massa. Molo Beverello is situated directly opposite the city's Maschio Angioino castle. Calata di Massa lies just slightly to the East (i.e. to your left when you face the sea).
High speed ferries depart from Molo Beverello, regular and slow ferries depart from Calata di Massa. Vehicles are transported by regular or slow ferry only. The journey by regular or slow ferry is slower and less expensive than the journey by high speed ferry. Times and prices change frequently: consult the web the day before you plan to sail or contact the navigational companies, especially if the weather is bad! (when the sea is rough, high speed ferry services are usually suspended and you will need to travel by regular or slow ferry).
What if I feel seasick?!
If you travel in summertime, when the sea in the Bay of Naples is generally incredibly calm, you are unlikely to suffer from seasickness.
In any case, here are some tried and tested tips to combat wave-induced nausea
- Take a regular or slow ferry rather than a high speed ferry.
- Sit to the back of the boat.
- Avoid looking out of the window and perhaps listen to a bit of music.
How to get to Molo Beverello from Naples' Capodichino Airport
Bus - Just outside the terminal building, you'll find the Alibus, the coach which will take you to the center of Naples. Get off at Piazza Municipio, a three minute walk from the port of Molo Beverello. Tickets cost 3 euro and can be purchased direct from the driver.
Taxi: the taxi stand is located outside Terminal 1. Ask the driver to apply the fixed rate to the port (approximately 20.00 euro). Avoid anybody offering taxi services inside the airport: we guarantee they will not be licensed taxi drivers.
How to get to Molo Beverello from Naples' train station
Take a taxi! Although buses and trams run regularly from the train station to the port, they are always extremely crowded and there is no way of knowing when to get off. In addition, you will need to cross the entire piazza to reach the bus stop. The fixed taxi fare to the port is about 10.00 euro.
How long does the journey from Naples �to Capri take?
- Slow ferry: 80 minutes.
- Regular ferry: 50 minutes
- High speed ferry: 40 minutes
Transfer service
The easiest way to get to your hotel!
Train, taxi, ferry, funicular... the journey to Capri, especially if you're travelling to Italy by plane and your flight lands in Rome, is not the simplest or the most relaxing!
Want your journey to Capri to be a stress-free one? Book a transfer!
The classic transfer to Capri includes private car from the airport to the port of Naples, a private boat to Capri, and a taxi from the port of Capri to your hotel. Alternatively, you can request a helicopter transfer, and fly from the airport straight to the island. If you are travelling in a group, a private transfer may well be the most economic option too: the cost of train, boat and funicular tickets for four or more people can easily exceed that of a transfer!
Arriving by helicopter
The fastest most comfortable, and the most scenic way of getting to Capri is by helicopter. A helicopter service between Capri and Italy's main citys is run by Sam Elicotteri. This service also operates to all the principle destinations in the area and to Sicily and Sardinia. Helicopter flights from Naples to Capri take about 20 minutes and land at Damecuta in Anacapri. Many hotels are happy to arrange Naples to Capri by helicopter flights and car transfers.
How to arrive on the Island of Capri from Sorrento
Ferries depart from Sorrento's Marina Piccola port on a regular basis. The journey takes less than 30 minutes and crossings are frequent, especially so in the summer season. You can catch a bus to the port from the center of Sorrento, or make your way on foot, walking down the steps which start in Piazza Tasso.
Top tip
High speed ferries from Sorrento to Capri sail along one of the most beautiful stretches of coast imaginable: sit on the left-hand side of the boat to get the best views!
And when I get to Capri?
When you get to Capri, the very first thing we suggest you do is to hand your luggage to one of the porters waiting on the docks.
If your hotel is in Capri, your best bet is to give your bags to a porter, who will make sure they are delivered direct to your room. The service costs from 5 to 12 euro per item (depending on the location of your hotel). This might seem expensive, but the alternative (that of dragging your suitcases along the steep cobbled lanes of Capri) is not exactly the most relaxing way to start your holiday on the island...
To reach the Piazzetta, take the funicular railway train (situated directly opposite the docks) or one of Capri's famous open-top taxi cabs. The taxi ride from the port to the Piazzetta will set you back around about 15.00 euro.
If your hotel is in Anacapri, keep your bags with you and take a taxi. The taxi ride from Marina Grande to Anacapri will minimum 25.00 euro, plus eventual supplements for luggage. Alternatively, catch the bus direct to Anacapri which departs from the bus stop close to the hydrofoil ticket offices. Buses leave every 30-45 minutes and you may find it quicker to take the funicular train to Capri, and from here catch a bus to Anacapri. This said, the majority of hotels in Anacapri now provide a free (or very reasonably priced) shuttle service for guests on arrival: ask your hotel for details.

Drake & Tyra Banks' Date Night At Yogurtland
It looks as though Drake is bagging all of the celebrity women!
Okay, we won't jump to conclusions just yet. Since Tyra Banks is always about her business, the two could simply be working on an upcoming project.
Last night, Drizzy and Tyra were spotted on a lowkey 'date night' at Disneyland together as well as Tyra's favorite yogurt spot, Yogurtland. Unfortunately, Drake left a bad impression on one of the employees who tweeted:
Thanks to my coworker & I Drake and Tyra got hooked up with Yogurtland tonight❕
He didn't deserve it though
I told Tyra she was pretty & she said thanks & my co worker told drake he was cute & he didn't say anything just turned his head. He got all butt because I took a pic too.
He told me to stop. Hahah Oh please do so! He's not even cute!
He was being a douche. I heard they were dating
I'm disappointed. Bad first impression you know. Wasn't not what was expected.
Of course Drake wasn't nice. Homegirl was trying to blow his cover while he was trying to creep
BTW, Tyra is single!

Read what current and former students are saying....
"You begin as a freshman, afraid you will never know anything about athletic training, then one day you suddenly realize how much you know and how many friends you have made." - Jenn
"The best thing about the Athletic Training Education Program at BW is the people. Knowledgeable professors and upperclassmen are more than happy to help you and answer any questions you might have." - Brett
"The Athletic Training Education Program at BW not only helped me build a career, it helped me build my life. I've learned never to give up, because if you work hard enough dreams materialize into reality. One word can summarize my experience with the BW Athletic Training Education Program: PRICELESS!!! If I could change anything in my past it would most definitely NOT be my decision to major in Athletic Training at BW." - Angela
"The BW Athletic Training Education Program has made me a better sports massage therapist and opened the door of opportunity. I thank all the ATCs on staff for sharing all their expertise and knowledge." - Dawn
"My experience at BW prepared me for all aspects of the athletic training field. I owe a tremendous amount to the Athletic Training Education Program at BW for helping me achieve many of my goals thus far as an athletic trainer." - Matt
"The Baldwin Wallace University Athletic Training Education Program provided me with a wonderful learning opportunity in a variety of ways. Not only did I get hands on experience with the athletes early on, but I also had the opportunity to observe surgeries and meet other professionals in the field through the relationships the college has developed in the area. My education at Baldwin Wallace provided me a foundation which I used as I continued my studies in Physical Therapy school at Ohio State. As a result, I was ahead of others in my Physical Therapy class due to the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine knowledge I had learned during my years at Baldwin Wallace." - Heidi
"My athletic training experience at BW left me well prepared for the exam as well as my current position in the high school/clinic setting. I loved the family atmosphere and personal contact with the ATC's. I felt right at home and would not trade those opportunities for the world!" - Candy
"I had a great experience at BW! When it was time to take the BOC Certification exam, I knew my classes and clinical education prepared me for the challenge. The athletic training staff and professors were wonderful mentors and I made lifelong friends in the program." - Stacy
"My experiences at BW prepared me to succeed at any level of athletic training. The structure of the program allows me to learn didactically in the classroom and then encouraged me to apply those theories in the clinical setting while continuing to grow as an athletic training student. The program is one of few in the nation that can provide students with experiences in every sport at every level from high school to the professional ranks. It truly is a 'big time university' experience while having the personal touch and individualization associated with working in a smaller college setting." - Jeremy
"The Baldwin Wallace University Athletic Training Education Program not only taught me the clinical skills necessary to find success in graduate school and within my career, but the staff has provided a social support and networking system that will be available throughout my life. This is truly one of the finest programs with some of the most devoted professors in the field." -Alicia
"My experience as an athletic training student in the Baldwin Wallace Athletic Training Education Program was an exceptional one. BW's Athletic Training faculty were very approachable, enthusiastic, and pushed me to succeed by compassionately "challenging and supporting" me as an athletic training student. I was challenged to think and problem solve independently while receiving full support by the faculty during my erudition. As I worked to perfect my skills and treatment methodology as an aspiring health care professional, the professors of the BW Athletic Training Education Program guided me along the way, encouraging balance and personal growth in and out of the athletic training room. My experience as an athletic training student at BW was instrumental in shaping my approach today not only as an athletic trainer, coach, and teacher, but as one who strives to provide the best holistic care possible and looks to improve the lives of all those with whom I work." - Bridgett
"Athletic Training at BW taught me that life is full of obstacles, there are ways to overcome them, you just need to look around and find the material to do it." - Sarah
"As a transfer student it was a smooth transition into the athletic training program. I was able to complete my education in a timely manner. I gained valuable experience in the high school/college, clinical, and professional settings. Cleveland is a great resource to find an internship, with places like the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Force Indoor Soccer, and area high schools. I have shared great memories with the athletic training staff and students. Baldwin Wallace has helped shaped me into the athletic trainer I am today." - Matt
"The Athletic Training Education Program at BW definitely helped prepare me for beginning my career as a certified athletic trainer. I was able to gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to move into the graduate assistantship I applied for at Ohio University to earn my Master's Degree. Because of the time I spent working with the athletes at BW, I was ahead of other students at the same level. The staff was very knowledgeable and supportive throughout my education. I had a great experience and received a wonderful education in BW's Athletic Training Education Program." - Jess
"The knowledge and experience I gained in the Athletic Training Education Program during my time at Baldwin Wallace University, not only prepared me for my future in the professional world, but gave me the life-skills to grow as a person and an athletic trainer. The lessons learned and experience gained at BW continues to serve me both personally and professionally to this very day." - Rick

During the Scan You will be asked to go to a dressing room and change into a gown. Lockers are available for your clothing. You may be asked to remove any jewelry or metal that can interfere with the body part being imaged. You will be escorted into the x-ray room. The people around you in the room will be preparing for your procedure. The technologist will explain everything that is happening. Please let the technologist know if you are pregnant or think you may be. You will be assisted to lie on a table or stand in front of the x-ray machine. The part of your body being imaged needs to be between the x-ray tube and the photographic plate. You will be given a lead apron to drape over part of your body to shield it from x-rays. At times you may need to take a deep breath and hold it. You will need to keep still so the image isn't blurred. The x-ray itself is painless. Each photographic image generally takes a few seconds. The image is usually transferred to a computer where it can be studied or printed out. The technologist will take at least one preliminary x-ray. You will then be given a cup of a cold fruit flavored liquid called barium solution to drink. This is a contrast medium. It may cause a warm feeling throughout your body. If you've had a reaction to contrast media before, or you begin to itch, are short of breath, feel pain or discomfort tell your X-ray tech immediately. You will be asked to drink this in various positions on the x-ray table. As you drink the solution and it passes through your upper digestive tract, the Radiologist or Radiologist Assistant will observe the procedure through fluoroscopy. A continuous or pulsed x-ray beam is controlled by a switch. When this beams strikes the photographic plate it creates a sequence of images that are projected onto a television-like monitor. This enables the Radiologist to see the area in motion. The Radiologist performs the initial fluoroscopy and monitors all of the post imaging performed by the technologist. The exposure to x-rays may be a little higher than a normal x-ray. The Radiologists and technologists are trained to deliver dosages that are not harmful and that are within strictly established guidelines. The x-ray table will tilt up and down between x-rays, and you will be asked to roll your body into different positions. This helps the barium liquid coat all of your organs, so that the doctor can get a better view. A technologist will help you get into different positions. You will be made as comfortable as possible during the exam. Another series of x-rays will be taken. The test may take one hour. If scheduled with the small bowel series or follow through it may take several hours. Once the technologist has all the images the physician requires your test is complete. After the Scan When your scan is over, the technologist will help you off the table. You can get dressed and go home. If you had a change in diet before the scan, you may resume your normal diet. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids for several days unless otherwise contraindicated. Your stool may be light or white with barium for several days. If you become constipated or haven't had a bowel movement in three days make sure you speak to the physician that ordered the test. Check with your physician on when you can resume your medications especially any diabetic medications you may be on. A doctor who is a radiologist will study your scans and report the results to your doctor. Your doctor will generally discuss the results with you at your next physician's office visit. Talk with your doctor or testing center about how to get your test results. If your testing was ordered STAT by your physician, a preliminary report will be phoned or faxed to them shortly after the completion of your test. Thank-you for allowing us to take care of you during your radiology exam.
