At the ORV advisory meeting they kept pointing out that they need to keep the 3000lbs trucks and jeeps off the trails for safty reason do to their size compaired to ATV,s When I mentioned that WE most often are only doing 5- 15 mph on the trails and the ATV's are doing 30+ how are we the unsafe ones. And that the only reason a ATV was ever ran over by a truck is : The ATV came around a corner at 30 and ran into the slow truck. They quickly wanted to change the subject and move onto discussing the building of more 24 and 50 inch trails.
I agree that GL4WDA is do a great job ,But you dont have to JOIN them to voice up if you dont want to. You can still go to the ORV advisory board meeting on Nov.7 th in lansing at the Holliday Inn on west Saginaw. Fill out the comment card and get you 3 minutes to talk. The more Jeep and truck owners we can get to go to the meeting the better chance they will start lissening. The board is made up of ATV supporters and are hell bent on excluding us. They figure 2 to 4 years just in the paper work for the 1300 miles of new ATV trails. The only real way to get 4wd areas as it is , Is to apply for a grant to develope a nonprofit scramble ares that you must maintain with the grant money. You dont have to be a big club or org. to do this . You just have to go threw the process with the state. Then wait for all the bull crap studies to take place. Makeing plans as we speek. Everone who can please go to the next board meeting. I'm going and if some want to meet in Harrison and ride down with me I have room for 5 to go. I will post about it when it gets closer.
By the way Hi (Dave)

What would be wrong with joining GLFWDA and doing this leg work with an entire organization behind you? Especially one that has been around since 1969 and is recognized as the only voice in Michigan for the Fulsize crowd.
Just thought I would ask, cant wait to read your answer.

So there take that answer and shuv it up your self centered ass if you think your ORG is the only hope we have. May be we need all the voices we can get I am trying to get everyone I can on the band wagon and you post that you are the only ones that can do anything. Well Thats great Then So far all the 4wd trails are closed Its a 2wd state with all your help you have been doing for us. So now your getting upset when someone else is trying rally the people who just what to wheel and are willing to what they can as a indevidual with out the preasure of Joining a CLUB /GROUP or ORG.. Sorry I stepped on your toes . I was wrong to think you would take any help you could get.. I want to help out all I can with out spending $35.OO TO JOIN ANOUTHER CLUB.
If you feel I 'm out of line SORRY. But I didnt pitch a bitch in this Thread you did. Read it again PLEASE
As for the next post Where would you think that was pointed at anyone??
Crapp!! Make a general statement to inform people on here to make it so they get the answer they asked for and you get your head bit off. Sorry Im PMSing buttt DAMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quoted for humor incase you decide to delete your post...
to throw a wrench into your narrow minded logic, for a person to go to ONE meeting im betting they will spend at least the $35 membership fee on travel and the value of their time.
white rhino once said, the membership fee can be paid for by 10 cents a day. you cant tell me ONE person in this sport doesnt have an extra $35 per year to help insure that wheeling will be preserved the best it can.
Did I mention you sound like a complete ass saying this: "So there take that answer and shuv it up your self centered ass if you think your ORG is the only hope we have." How old are you?

Especially one that has been around since 1969 and is recognized as the only voice in Michigan for the Fulsize crowd.
Sounds like someone beleives this statment is not self centered!!!
Ding, Ding, Ding, You are a winner,..........that why you need to get involved with GLFWDA and help out.
and this one misleads people to think they HAVE to join to help out!!
When it it would be helpfull for them to join but they can help on there own if they have the right info. Like where and when board meetings are and where to find the info. Like myself and a few others been doing.
I spent MY momey to drive 120 miles to go to the meeting and didnt pay myself or for my fuel out of any fund to see what was going on with the trail system. I also have offered to drive down and let who want to share the ride go with me at MY expence so if someone wanted to go but couldnt swing the gas expence would beable to go. I again say that everyone can join your ORG if they want to and then we will still only have ONE voice for the board to lissen to. How about your ORG. and 100 other people at the meeting. Such as club members and indeviduals. Even some non wheelers like HUNTERS who may need 4wd to get down that one trail to their favorite huntring spot without the worry of getting a ticket. If you feel that the only way that the trail systems will change and new 4wd trails will be opened is by your ORG. itself than yes self centered. As for my age Looks like I'm old enough to think out side your box so I must be pretty darn old.
I will go to the meetings and let everyone who can't go that I run across know whats going on. I didnt see any post anywhere from you about the last meeting. Oh!! maybe on your web site. I know alot of people who dont even know you exist because they wheel but not in a club or take part in any online forums. Wake up we need to let these people know whats happening as well.
Now If we can agree that All the help we can get will do more than bickering
I will be at the next meeting with as many people who can make it. I am still talking to people and trying to get them to go. I tell someone to go look at the DNR web site and read the ORV board agenda and minute at least 3 times a week. The sad thing is non of them know it exist. By the way how many people on here know that there is even a PUBLIC meeting on this. How many know when the next one is. Or new before My post. Just trying to help out.
So here once again for those who want the info.
When you read this the 1300 miles of trails they talk about is nearly all 24 and 50 inch trails with the proposed useing of some of the forest roads to connect trails to make loops. and the making of new trails for ATV's to keep them away from the full size vehicles so the trails are SAFER. The mentioned several time that there was a need to make sure the ATV's were safe by getting them NEW trails away from the 3000lbs vehicles. What a way to justify the makeing of a new ATV trail and not a 4wd trail. The main Prob in my opinion is that one can drive on a larger trail but not on a smaller trail ( 24 inch may ride 50 , 72" trails and forest roads /// 50 inch can ride 50 and 72 and forest roads but not 24" /// 72" JEEP TRAILS if you fit I'm 78" and will get a ticket if the DNR officer is in a bad mood. can only ride them and seasonaland forest roads. So the making of New 72" 4wd trails will interfere with there plan to sepperate the vehicles. Once they build 4wd trails for us to 4w on the bikes and the quads will be happyas heck to play on them as well. Thuss putting the more Dangerous (acrording to the ORV board) PA300 vehicles in the path of ATV's again. Getting 4wd trails open is going to be a steep uphill battle and we need all the help we can get, Members to clubs ORG's, hunters and private public as well .
Now do you understand or do we need a longer helpfull post with more information on what people can do . Or wait maybe a GL4x4 thread for posting on the subject for questions and answers. That would be a Great Idea. With updates from who ever attends meeting or talks to the DNR or the board. If someone gets troubled by the DNR and have info on whats being done in there area they can post it up.
Example: Dont try to go to Mallory hill on M-18 and more in Rosscond county. Between Meridith and Houghton Lake. They have installed gaurd rails and logs. They watch it daily.Its not worth the trill of great hill climbing.. Though this would be a great possible scramble area if a OREG. wanted to make one or if someone wanted to form a non Profit ORG to do this. Fill out all the paper work go to the meeting apply for a grant wait for the state and make a scramble area. I would help out . This is most likly one of our last resorts.
The Haskill lake area in leota was brought to the DNR's attention last weekend when a truck tryed to cut the corner on the lake (Illegal wheeling) and put their truck out in the lake. A wrecker was called and they had to call the DNR. So I wouldnt go near the north end of Haskill lake anymore. I would bet by the end of fall it will be blocked off. This is what could be great on such a thread.
Thanks for your time again and dont kill the messanger.

Seasonal roads are County roads and as such require SOS licensing OR if they are used as marked snowmobile trails in the winter they are allowed. ATV, M/C or other ORV's are NOT allowed to used these roads during any season. UNLESS they are located in one of the counties that allows use of ORV on the shoulders. And you will require an ORV sticker on your vehicle. This applies to both UP and LP. Seasonal road 2WD -vs- 4WD rule is questionable in my mind however, DNR officers usually exert their authority onto County roads and therefore 'could' write you a ticket, unless the County specifically has the road posted open. Trail Fanatic has been working with some County road comissions on the west side of the state with some success in getting roads opend back up, some of which require 4WD.
Forest roads are in two categories, State and Federal.
State forest roads require SOS UNLESS they are marked with orange trianges. ATV. M/C and other NON SOS vehicles are NOT allowed to use these roads. This applies to the LP. Here's where the difference in the UP comes in. NON licensed ATV, M/C ARE allowed to use these roads in the UP with an ORVF sticker.
AND, in both these cases 2WD rule applies, that is, you must be able to traverse the road in 2WD.
State Forest roads with orange triangles, NOT ORANGE DIAMONDS, (i.e. Snowmobile marking) ANY type vehicle with or with out SOS licensing are allowed to use these roads, BUT, you must have an ORV sticker on your vehicle if not SOS licensed. These marked roads are the only ones you are allowed to use 4WD on.
Federal Forest roads. Same rules apply EXCEPT there is confusion as the whether or not the 2WD rules applies. Trail Fanatic is being told it does not, however USFS Officers can write you a ticket and they will cite an MCL number (Michigan Compiled Laws) which is the law you are violating and one of them is the one they use for the 2WD violation.
So now this should be as clear as mud! This is why there is so much confusion in this state as to where you can or can not go with your vehicle.
This is just another example of what GLFWDA is trying to address with the DNR and the Legislature. Problem is, the DNR paints a picture of doom and gloom with the Legislature when we try to suggest removal of the 2WD clause in the current law. They claim that there will be wide spread environmental damage if it's changed. That's why GLFWDA has been working with the other motorized groups in the state to get it changed. It's numbers we present to the Legislature that get theie attention. It's the same as a vote!
With the mediocre support there is from the Full Size 4WD users in this state, it's a wonder we still have as much to play on as we do. Just look at the number of users there are on this site and look at the Membership of GLFWDA. Pretty poor ratio. There's only one state organization fighting for 4WD access in this state. Think about it.
Just attending the ORV Advisory board, while making you feel like your part of the solution, does nothing to gain us more access to trails in the state. If you had been around 10 years ago you would have seen the real opinion of the DNR about full size vehicles in action. Quoted from one of the meetings from the previous DNR FMFM Chief, The DNR has no intention in supporting or developing Full Size vehicle opportunities in this state. If you want a trail system, go find a friendly legislator and get a law written and develop your own system. This ORV law is NOT for you. This from the previous Chief Hector Chunti.
Now, fast forward to 2007, there has been increasing visibility of full size users in the state at these meetings and we have made ourselves a pain in butt. Most you'll ever get from the Advisory Board is a few nods'. The Advisory Board itself is powerless. They only advise the DNR. The DNR will still do what they want, when they want. 'Some' of the members on the ORV board have lobbying for us to get something. But continuing to attend these meetings will not be the only thing required to get this done. For example, look at St. Helen Motorsport area. Ironman served on the Advisory board for years and we've still not gotten the Rock Crawl in place. Why?????? Lynn Boyd DNR Director cites 'Environmental issues'. Why I asked her when what they were she told me oil spills when the trucks tear open their oil pans. When I told her there was a product that address that issue she said she would look into it. That was 2 years ago. Still nothing on the Rock Crawl.
While this thread has has been all over the place I'm sure you can see that GLFWDA and it's participation in land uses issues with the state is the best solution we have going. I'm sure Trail Fanatic would would welcome any additional help you or some of your members could offer.

It's nice to see you getting involved and more informed. The problem as I see it is that your delivery is that "you" have "discovered" this new thing and are suddenly the expert on this.
No one on this board announces the meetings? Seems to me I see Brewman and Yetti post it up almost every time. Others don't do it because they do.
No one has heard of the organization? Take a look at the home page of the forums. The top line of the 4x4 land use has a sticky about GLFWDA. If they don't know about it, it is because they just browse over the top of it.
Spending money out of a fund to travel to a meeting? This comes up frequently with people seeming to have a hard on about it. Currently that is not being done but the issue was this: We as an organization "demanded" that someone from the organization be there to represent the organization and be informed. In many cases people are not able to attend for a variety of reasons. (work, cost, family, etc) So, we said if we are going to be a land use advocasy group, we can at least cover the cost of the gas to attend the meetings. Should I expect someone else to spend their money to represent me when I can't make it or don't have the money to spend. Doesn't seem to me a big deal.
If I or our group asked you to attend a meeting on our behalf, who wouldn't say "I'll chip in for gas"?
Don't have the money to join? Bullshit! If you buy a pop every day out of a vending machine, the bottle yo throw away will pay for your membership. So will the outrageous price you pay for the vending machine versus buying the pop/ water in bulk.
Dinner and a movie once a month? Skip a month and you payed for it. A tank of gas in your jeep? Skip one day of wheeling per year and you payed for it.
Rent 10 movies per year at $3.50? Watch CNN instead.
I can go on and on about ways to fund a $35 annual cost. The bottom line is that you will spend the money if you feel it is worth it. You won't if you don't. It's all about priorities.
Once again, I commend you for wanting to get involved but don't be so quick to go on the attack. Most of the people in the organization have a wealth of information if people will just ask.
As for the age thing, not sure why you avoided it. I am 50 and have been a member since 1979.

I said alot of the people Not on line or in a group dont know you exist please read again. And no not an expert but I also seen only 3 other people at the meeting not with the GL4WDA and it would be more than helpfull if others knew what was going on. As for helping our cause At the meeting when I asked about the reasoning why they feel the full size vehicles are the unsafe ones and if they keep everything closed to 4wd activity what are they going to do with the loss of sticker sale money to pay for the trail system NOT A ONE OF THE GL4WDA MEMBERS said a word and just let it pass as the board quickly wanted to change the subject back to the new ATV trails. Yes it was my first meeting and if you didnt go you have nothing to say about it for you dont have a clue on whats going on your self.. I only stated that people can help out without joining if they dont want to. Every time the issue is talked about you say join join thats all great but dont discuage the ones that dont want to. Give them the info to help on their own thats all I started to say . You know some people dont want to join groups and yes some people dont feel they have the funds for joining clubs. Even though its only 35.00. If you think people cant afford or dont want to spare it well they dont. I now of a few that want to go to the meeting that can only go if someone elses drives and pics up the gas. Their wheelin trips maybe once a month and they struggle to do that. Myself I use driving around in the woods and going to trail rides a a cheep family weekend. I can put $ 20 in the jeep a cooler full of snacks and be gone all day. As for the expence of going to the meetings It will be figured into my bills at the first of the month and if I have to I'll miss a day or weekend or trail riding to save the money to go. I have alot of things on my plate right now and this is a big issue to me. I go to the trails almost every weekend so yes Ican help if I choose and so can they on are own. Not in one of my post have I said your ORG is not a great thing I posted every time that it was a good thing butthelp is welcome as members or NOT.
I'm done with this subject like it or not.
So quit condeming me and get back on the subject at hand.
I will be at the next trail ride and will bring my little box of spare stuff. We used some at the last one .Any Ideas of what else we may need. Last time we used 2 wheel studs and two wheel nuts off my jeep ,some black tape. and I will have more tools too.What size did you need for that clutch bleeder again. LOL Donnie got some zipp strips from I beleive Don for his fan, 2 drywall screws we only needed 1 but someone dropped the first one. I ruined two shirts and a pair of pants working on mine and others jeeps. but thats part of the fun. I still have rear end grease from Donnies rear axle under my nails. Hope to get a new fuel pump in this weekend and be ready for next weekend too. We built a few trails at work that are quite fun. I want to make it up the on. I tryed yesterday but the fuel pump wasnt agreeing. Plus I needed to air down again, Dont want to snap anouther axle.
Had a great time with the last run and enjoyed leading yous around

the problem is from what i se is that the focus is on making new atv and motorcycle trails and closing down the jeep trails to do so....it is total BS that the jeeps are the dangerous ones and from what i see is the atv's are the ones who are cutting new trails and giving us a bad name!!!!
proove me wrong i want to see jeep trails open but at this point all i see is trails closing

I know some of you have been wheeling on the powerlines off Hodenpyle rd in Mesick ;)
I was mountain biking up there the other day and there was lots and lots of fresh tracks..
Also, someone from Cadillac told me that the jeeperz from there sort of fell apart due to someone embezzling money. Is this true?

Spectrum of Light March
The mission of the Spectrum of Light Youth March in Washington,D.C. is to form partnerships between youth and adult leaders for the purpose of focusing on environmental education, environmental action, and public service. We encourage youth to become active and responsible citizens through our High T.E.C.H. network, our Kids Care civic action program, and by fostering a dialogue between youth and Congress. The Spectrum of Light hopes to demonstrate to legislators that there is a growing constituency of concerned, motivated, and knowledgable youth.
Ratings/Review of this resource:
9007 Lambskin Lane
Columbia , MD 21045
Detailed Information:
The Spectrum of Light Youth March wants to inspire large numbers of kids of diverse backgrounds to learn about and care for the environment. We encourage the use of technology as an interactive teaching and learning tool for the purpose of establishing partnerships that will encourage youth to seek higher levels of education and set career goals.
The Spectrum of Light Youth March leads youth to become active and responsible citizens through a constructive community service component. Our "Kids Care" program will highlight the beneficial contributions kids make to our communities. We want to show the nation and world the thousands of students who everyday dispel the undeserved, unasked for title of "Generation X".
The Spectrum of Light Youth March recognizes the need for an expanded definition of the word "environment" to include not just conditions in the natural world, but also those conditions that affect us all directly or indirectly in homes, schools, and on the streets of our towns and cities.
This country was once thought of as a "melting pot". Built on the many dreams and aspirations of people from foreign lands who brought their skills, their languages and cultures to "form a more perfect union".
Today, as we approach the New Millennium, as Americans all, the need for a new perspective for our society has never been more universally accepted. We suggest, SPECTRUM OF LIGHT. Let us become a bright and shining example, let our many hues light a path into the future.

I tried useing the Rit powder stuff and when it dried it flaked off to my hands!! :angry:angry:confused Any other way to do it? I followed the directions, except putting in cool water...

I tried useing the Rit powder stuff and when it dried it flaked off to my hands!! :angry:angry:confused Any other way to do it? I followed the directions, except putting in cool water...
Your belt isn't made out of Mohair then. If it's poly then it may be a real pain to get to dye correctly. You may want to use some Rit color stripper before you dye it just to get all the chemicals out of it. Get the liquid dye, a cup of salt, and a pot you don't mind heating up dye in and do it over the stove.
Also, a trick to keep it from shrinking so bad is to stretch the belt while still wet over the length of a 2X4 and use nails to hold the belt using the loops on the ends.
Here is the official list of what fabric types Rit will work on:
Fabric Chart
Stove Technique
Thats odd, I used cloth rope from Ace Hardware and it took very well to RIT dye.
Was it polyester? Normally poly won't hold dye well, it's just the nature of the material. Now, anything organic or semi-organic will usually hold dye well.
I dont know exactly what it is? i got it for 14$ at a Tac shop...:) Well thanks guys I will just spray it then...dose it have to be fabric spray paint or just anything...?
sorry guys, your all wrong. your not supposed to use Rit on wool. you have to do what's called an Acid bath. I am doing a run of these belts now. get on the list!!! $50 shipped in the U.S your choice of color. ESB or ROTJ
No, Rit should work on wool. If it's been treated with something (like Scotchguard, etc.) that's another story.
I tried dying mine as well with no luck.
Then I went the spray pain route with Krylon spray paint.
Worked really well. Just give it enough time to dry on both sides.
If it's a true Mohair girth, then RIT will work on it. If it's poly or treated then RIT will probably NOT work. JK3's route works best if it's treated or you just don't know =D

Fix it
I was cleaning my 380 for the first time. The safety lever has move in the down position and can not get it to move back to the correct position. Need help
Fix it
You might want to check out some of the Bersa forums like Bersa chat or something. Any of the Bersas I had always seemed to have a stiff safety lever, but in time seemed to get a "little" smoother with use.
In your cleaning process, did you remove the safety lever? Did you remove the firing pin?
Did you remove anything from the slide?

Take an adventure holiday in FRANCE with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
The democratic republic of France is one of the largest countries in Europe covering an area of 547,000 sq km (213,330 sq mi). The English Channel lies to the northwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Spain broils across the Pyrenees to the south, the Mediterranean (including Corsica) is to the southeast and over the eastern Alps and Jura ranges lie Switzerland and Italy. France's relatively flat northeastern borders abut Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium. The French Alps include Mont Blanc, which at 4807m (15,750ft) is Europe's highest peak. The population of France is approximately 59 million, of which 90% are Roman Catholic.
Mont Blanc Climbing & Trekking holidays
The Mont Blanc massif and surrounding peaks provide a stunning backdrop and objective for walkers and climbers alike. The historic Tour du Mont Blanc is easily one of the most spectacular walks of the world.

It's probably fair to say that most teens loathe the very idea of therapy. Yet, with confused and troubled adolescents needing our help more than ever, the gap between our grad school training and what works in real-life practice continues to widen.
"How do I get her to talk about her feelings?" asks Jean, a counseling intern about to meet 13-year-old Hannah for an initial appointment. "I'm not sure what to say to her." Hannah will be the first client Jean has seen without a more experienced cotherapist at her side, and she's worried.
Oh boy, I wonder privately. Are they still teaching that good therapy means getting kids to pour out their feelings? I'm suddenly reminded of a teen client I'd seen years ago who, when I asked what hadn't worked in her prior therapy, began a mocking singsong of her therapist: "So, Cindy, how does that make you feel? How does that make you feel? How does that make you feel?" "Ugh," she continued, "enough already with my fucking feelings. It made me feel like I just wanted her to shut up! That's how it made me feel!"
"Don't worry about getting her to talk about her feelings," I say to Jean. "If you're doing anything close to what Hannah needs you to do, you won't have to. She'll show you what her feelings are."
It hadn't been all that long ago that I, too, had thought a client's feelings were the Holy Grail of therapy. But I've realized in the years since that direct questions about feelings are actually a source of irritation to kids. They'll talk about them, alright, but not in a discussion isolated from the conversation at hand, with a spotlight turned on it. Besides, the question itself is now so predictable, parodied even by the people it's supposed to serve.
Most teens are in therapy only because their parents, their teachers, the juvenile court judge, and/or some adult in authority somewhere has told them they must see a therapist. Consequently, they often find most standard, shrink-wrapped attempts to "engage" them infuriating. For example, to the therapeutic bromide, "We're not here to talk about me. We're here to talk about you," their (usually unspoken) response can only be, "You may be here to talk about me, but I'm not--I never wanted to talk to you in the first place." In short, they don't talk, don't want to answer questions, don't want to be in our offices, and don't intend to make it any easier for us, so we often resort to our stale therapeutic cliches because we don't know what else to do. It's probably fair to say that most teens, being highly protective of their emerging selfhood, loathe therapy sight unseen, and that too many hate it even more once they've had a taste. At a time when adolescents and preteens need our help in navigating the multiple challenges of family, academic, and social life more than ever, the gap between clinical theory as taught in graduate school and real-life practice continues to widen, unfortunately.
Most of us were never trained to talk to adolescents. I was taught psychotherapy by psychoanalysts, who worked hard to instill in me an understanding of the importance of unconscious conflict, character structure, object relations, interpersonal dynamics, and transference. It was great training and has proved highly valuable, but it was a beginning, not an ending. This hit me right between the eyes when I took my first job as staff psychologist at a residential treatment center for socially and emotionally disturbed boys and girls who didn't give a crap about their unconscious conflicts or anything else having to do with therapy. I'd ask them, "What are your treatment goals?" and they'd look at me as if to say, "Lady, is there anything on my face that says I have a treatment goal?" I'd make an interpretation of their behavior--"I wonder if you yell at your mother when she asks you where you're going because it feels invasive" or whatever--hoping to spark a little insight, and they'd stare blankly at me for a moment before getting up and leaving the session.
When I began treating adolescents in earnest, I realized that if I wanted to keep one of them sitting in my office for more than half a session, I'd have to change how I spoke with them. We needed language that was more natural, shared, mutually revealing than the questioning, interpreting, ritualized clinical language I'd been taught. I did learn this new tongue, but not by myself--I was taught by these angry, unhappy kids. They became my first postgraduate instructors as they began to respond to our more transparent and unaffected encounters. They showed me that successful treatment with them wasn't a matter of how I thought therapy "should" go, but of what would make them want to come back a second and third time.
I began to realize that the point of talking to them was to get them a little curious about what we might wind up chatting, joking, or arguing about in the current or following session. Another point of our talks was to get them to be less afraid of hope. So many of these kids had been let down so often by different adults, institutions, and circumstances that they'd learned to protect themselves by refusing to allow themselves to want anything they thought they might not get--lasting friendship, support from parents and teachers, good grades, a sense of self-worth, and certainly any real help from a therapist. So, I started to feel that if I could nudge them along to think that they might want to try just a little bit, with my help, to get something they wanted, it would be a great leap forward in treatment.
Over the years, I've developed an approach I call Natural Law Therapy, which simply means that I try to conduct therapy as much as possible according to the normal, natural way people talk to each other in different circumstances, without premeditated rules, protocols, or scripts. People who are perceived as not sounding natural or real or normal often are considered phony, duplicitous, and overbearing. Not surprisingly, they evoke in others a sense of distrust, anxiety, defensiveness, and anger. Of all clients, perhaps teenagers are the most protective of their vulnerable sense of dignity, and are particularly unforgiving of adults who seem to talk down to them, attempt to get some advantage over them, or assume a verbal one-up stance.
Some of my therapy principles have a counterintuitive element to them. For example, how can we demonstrate our trustworthiness to a teen who distrusts all adults? A standard rule for inducing trust in clients is promising confidentiality up front. But I've found that refraining from pointing out inconsistencies in their stories that they aren't yet ready to address is a better way to gain teens' trust than promising to keep their secrets. Rather than using the standard clinical technique of addressing these inconsistencies in the form of a mild confrontation, it's more respectful to protect their dignity by keeping mum. What makes a kid feel safe is knowing that if he says something he hasn't meant to say, or hasn't realized would invalidate his previous assertions, I'm not going embarrass him by pointing out his oversight.
For example, I once treated a 14-year-old girl who was adamant for the first three sessions that she had no problems at all. In the fourth session, I was commenting on her apparent lack of awareness of how her anger and irritability affected the rest of her family when she blurted out, "Why should I be worried about them when I'm the one with all the problems?!" To point out that she'd just contradicted what she'd been saying for weeks would have been unkind and unhelpful, demonstrating that I was far more eager to be right and make her see the truth as others saw it than to help her become more comfortable with saying what she really felt or thought.
I also began to rethink the meaning of the therapeutic alliance and establishing rapport. The usual process for connecting with clients is to spread empathy all over the place, to make careful, nonjudgmental responses to every word a client utters. But too-obvious attempts at therapeutic joining with teenagers before there's any real engagement just raises the "yuck" reaction in teen clients, and immediately compromises any relationship-building. Rapport isn't something that emerges directly from "rapport-building techniques"; it only grows organically from the mutual regard and respect that people develop for each other--something that requires genuine engagement over time. The idea that rapport leads to engagement is exactly backward. You engage and, if you like what you see in the other person, you connect. Then you have rapport.

April 22, 2014
Jarryd Chaplin and Colton Norton have experienced a lot during their time as members of the Tennessee men's tennis program. As the squad's two seniors this season, Chaplin and Norton have been strong representations of the blue-collar work ethic that has characterized the team under coaches Sam Winterbotham and Chris Woodruff.
Chaplin, a native of Sydney, Australia, and Norton, a local from Jackson, Tenn., arrived at UT and, while their roles on the team may have differed, the leadership that they have shown has been consistent. Even with the ups and downs of this season, the two seniors have been constant pieces in the team's success.
In this special two-person edition of Serve and Volley, the two elder statesmen of Vol Tennis speak about the Premier League, which teammate was once known as "Screech", Australian grizzly bears and the full story of what actually killed Kenny.
Q: Two seniors, this is the final regular season week, bookended by the final home and road weekends. What are you both feeling right now?
CN: Obviously the last home matches were a big deal, a bit emotional in some ways. Honestly, all we've been thinking is that these (Auburn and Alabama) are two very important matches. I haven't really got down to thinking that it's the last week of the season. We've still got SECs and hopefully a good run to be made in the tournament.
JC: I'll reiterate that, just in the sense that now because we can build off this past weekend which was pretty encouraging, I thought. It's nice to get over the emotional toll of this past weekend. We can both suffice that it was pretty moving playing on the courts for potentially the last time (CN: the first time) for four years.
Q: I've heard a little bit, but the senior dinner that took place here Sunday night. I've heard the emotions were quite high.
JC: To put it in perspective, it's pretty much a room full of people that made your experience what it was and for both of us, it was probably the best chapter of our life and we still have more to go. When you reach a climax like that to thank everyone for what they've done...certainly you can't do anything but be emotional about it. It was a really special time for everyone to be together.
CN: You're in a room full of people that you really care about. You have a lot of people saying mostly really good things about you, so it strikes a chord there and we didn't hold it together all that well (laughs).
Q: How have you guys each grown since you guys first came on campus and first became part of the program four years ago?
CN: One thing is just how much more comfortable and confident I feel just around this place, on the tennis court and around the coaches. When I first came in, I remember being nervous about it, not knowing what to expect. Each year gets a little easier, you get more comfortable and you get to the point now where you're enjoying everything and are super relaxed around the court.
JC: For me, I learned what responsibility meant; living on my own, playing for something other than yourself, which in tennis is all you really know until college tennis, so undertaking that responsibility and also understanding personalities. We have had upward of 20+ teammates over the past four seasons and meshing all those together is such a crazy adventure. I also have to be thankful for Sam (Winterbotham), Woody (Chris Woodruff) and the volunteer assistant coaches I've had in my time for allowing my relationships with them to evolve each year I get older here to where I don't feel the pressure of coach looking down (on me). It's really a pleasure to play for them, rather than feel like you have to hold your spot.
CN: I second that with when you first get here, you're so ignorant with the relationships you're going to build. You have no idea that in four years, you're going to feel the way about your teammates and your coaches that you do. You just think you're coming here and playing tennis and every freshman is ignorant in the same way with that.
JC: The responsibility to the school, as well. When there's so many sports across the whole school that are vying for the same SEC Championship mentality, the opportunity that the school gives to you in terms of resources (or) facilities has made me realize who I am.
Q: I know there's been a lot, but favorite moment on and off the court.
CN: Getting to play on senior day was pretty great. My first chance to play in an SEC match and the atmosphere was awesome. I had a lot of people supporting me, I could hear in the crowd. It was just really fun getting to be a part of the excitement and just get to play in that important of a match for the Vols. It was definitely really, really cool for me. That's easily my best on-court experience.
JC: On court for me is the 4-3 matches, whether I was clinch point or a teammates was. It's impossible to replicate in any form of tennis. It's such a buzz and I don't think your body ever stop clinching because you want it so bad. There's nothing that will replace that feeling. I've been fortunate enough to play two of those matches at 3-all and I was on the receiving end of one at Baylor my freshman year. I think that one being the first one helped the next two times. There's no better feeling than that on court.
Off the court, I cannot pinpoint one moment, but I think being with the guys off the court, just everyone in a room together, is refreshing. Beating South Carolina last year (at Neyland Stadium), I think I was more emotional then than I was at that Senior Dinner. Tears of joy...that was huge, so that was a memory.
CN: Until Chaps brought up the football thing, I feel like it's impossible to pick one thing because you feel like you're downplaying so many experiences because if you choose one, then it's going to show out. Just getting together with everybody and hanging out, joking around. We've always got all sorts of inside jokes going on that we don't even know where they came from ourselves.
Q: A couple off-the-court things that I've gathered from being around you guys. Colton, I'll start with you. In interviews with Brandon (Fickey) after the Arkansas match, he brought up the point that you lead the all-time series against him.
CN: He's talking about juniors because we're both Tennessee guys. Yeah, I had his number when we were younger, but the scales have flipped a little bit.
JC: That's not proven, though.
Q: What was it like playing against him back in juniors?
CN: Junior tennis is just a different animal, really. It's been such a long time ago, having to rack my brain.
JC: What did he look like?
CN: Just a little short Ficks bopping his head around.
JC: Curly hair?
CN: Yeah, he used to have his hair really long and curly. That's why we used to call him Screech, but it was fun beating Ficks back in the day. We had some pretty good matches. I can remember playing him at McCallie one time and playing him at the Champions Club in Chattanooga one time and actually at KRC (Knoxville Racquet Club) indoors one time and I'm pretty sure I won all three of those. He was obviously a year younger, which back in the day can make a big difference, so I think that gave me the one-up on him.
JC: Is it true that he used to wear tank tops for every match?
CN: Yeah, every single match. He was kind of known around juniors for wearing tank tops at all times, so that's what really fueled me to want to beat him even more.
JC: And pink headbands. He used to wear pink headbands all the time.
CN: He was just that guy, being kind of obnoxious.
JC: That one guy in the draw that you didn't want to lose to.
Q: Do you bring it up since you've been here?
CN: Every once in a while, we throw a joke around about it, but I think me beating him a few times made him stop wearing the cut-offs.
Q: Has he brought it back to practice ever?
CN: I think he's just embarrassed at this point because he lost in them so much that he won't do it, but maybe he should.
Q: So, from what I've heard, there's a lot of sport banter, definitely with the Premier League (Manchester City is Colton's team). So why Man. City and then what's with all the team banter?
CN: I chose Manchester City as my team because I used to room with Ed Jones, that's what got me on all the soccer. We used to play a lot of Fifa on the Xbox, which is kind of my thing. Oddly enough, it sounds kind dumb, but if you play enough Fifa, you actually know all the players on all the teams to the extent of which you kind of know about them in real life because they're accurately portrayed in the game. So, I know how good this guy is because of how good he is on Fifa. So, that's how that works, but I actually do like watching it. I was actually watching Champions League yesterday, but I chose Man City because everyone who follows the Premier League hates Manchester City because they kind of buy all their players. I just realized that me telling everybody that I was a Manchester City fan ticked them off a little bit, which is kind of funny to me.
JC: And Jonesy is a Liverpool supporter and Sam (Winterbotham) is Stoke, so my team is very broad: it's anyone who plays Stoke.
CN: And Bart (Sawicki) is Manchester United, so I sent him some tweets when Manchester City beat them 3-0 a few weeks ago.
JC: Jonesy and Sam really started the banter a couple years ago and then it evolved when Colts got involved with it.
Q: How does Sam get into it because Stoke doesn't usually do anything? (Note: As of 4/21/14, Stoke sits in 10th place, right in the middle of the league standings...MCFC is 3rd, Man. Utd. Is 7th and Liverpool leads)
CN: Exactly. That's usually what we bring up whenever he starts talking about it.
JC: In Sam's defense though, my rugby league team is woeful, just like Sam's team and I stay loyal to them. I can appreciate that at least.
Q: I was going to bring up the National Rugby League (Australia) and Parramatta (Eels)
CN: I am a Rabbitohs fan, though, in the rugby league.
Q: Oh, so you guys try to follow the rugby league, sort of?
JC: He's got no idea who he's supporting.
CN: I asked him to list all the names of the teams and I just chose the team that I thought sounded the coolest, which was the (South Sydney) Rabbitohs.
JC: And I asked him, since he knows so much about them, who his favorite player was and he proceeded to say Rabbitoh Babbitoh. I've yet to see him on the roster.
Q: What exactly is a Rabbitoh?
CN: That's a great question.
JC: It's a rabbit.
Q: Oh.
JC: It's a type of that Australian slang. The South Sydney Rabbitohs and fondly enough, they are owned by Russell Crowe.
CN: Didn't even know that. That's why I chose them.
JC: He was famous for going on the David Letterman Show when they made their huge signing in the Rugby League because Lebron (James) had just gone to the Miami Heat and he tried to compare the two, which was a bit of a fail, but he was trying to put it into context.
Q: So how did you become a Parramatta supporter?
JC: I was watching them at 7 years old and I loved their jersey. Ever since then, we've had some glory days. In 2001, we made the Grand Final and then a couple of average years or so. In 2009, we made a kick and made the Grand Final again. Haven't won one in a long time, but for most of my life, we've not been very good, but I still love the team. My favorite player is Jarryd Hayne and he spells Jarryd the same way I do, so there's a connection.
Q: Is that anywhere near you in Sydney?
JC: Yeah, it's about 15-20 minutes, I'd say. There's probably about six teams in the Sydney area.
CN: How about the Rabbitohs?
JC: They're about 30 minutes away, cross-town rival.
CN: So they're a bit of a rivalry.
JC: One of our biggest rivals is probably the Canterbury Bulldogs, which is my brother's team. That's a big talking point in our house and in 2009, we beat them to go to the Grand Final, so I won't say whether he cried or not, but you can put two and two together.
Q: So, is Fifa still a thing? I remember it would be the biggest thing a year or two ago.
CN: I used to play non-stop with Ed and we were roommates, so it worked out fine, but now Hunter (Reese) and Bart aren't the biggest Xbox guys, so I don't want to force it on them and be on the TV all the time. It's a bit of a lifestyle.
JC: You embrace it. It should also be a paid position.
CN: I couldn't agree more. I actually tried to play for money, but it's illegal in Tennessee. I actually have not played a single game of Fifa this season.
Q: I am baffled by that.
CN: Yeah, me too. I guess it's me getting more mature I guess.
JC: Our sophomore year or our junior year, we had a couple of in-house tournament among the team and Colton's usually pinned as the No. 1 seed and if anyone lost 10-0 to Colton, they had to run around the apartment complex. That was fun.
CN: 7-0 was a call to my mother apologizing to her for wasting my time.
JC: And 5-0, you had to publicly apologize for wasting his time on Facebook. So there were some stipulations if you signed up.
Q: Another thing I remember that used to be a big thing is Ping-Pong. How much of a thing has it become this year, but also, you are part of the No. 1 doubles team with Hunter.
JC: I think the two years before this year, it was a probably bigger, wasn't it? There is an elite few in this group that can really establish themselves among the Ping-Pong community and I would probably add both of us in that. Two very different game styles and, on a good day, Mikelis (Libietis) can make a run, just a little bit of firepower, but mentally he's not all there.
CN: Sean plays pretty well.
JC: Sean Karl does OK, but if you're probably going to set up a bracket, you would probably pin the two seniors at No. 1 and 2. We tried to play in Knoxville and I don't have the better of him, but when I went back to Jackson, to Colt's home, I slammed him in three sets.
Q: Just walked right onto your home turf...
JC: I don't know whether that was like the pressure of playing at home or what.
CN: I was a bit nervous to be honest with you.
JC: That might have been it.
Q: I thought you were supposed to do better at home.
CN: The dimensions of the room were off for me.
JC: The surface was a little quicker. I was serving and volleying really well. Just hop on the table, hit a volley.
CN: For quite a while, Hunter and I were undefeated this semester. I have to admit, we took a recent loss to (Andrew) Dromsky and (Sean) Karl, but we are still up 3-1 in the series, so I wouldn't say they've taken the crown by any means.
JC: Dromsky was cheating. Terrible sportsmanship, bad line calls. He thought that he had hit the edge on a bunch of balls, but he didn't.
CN: He was really just talking smack the whole time. When you're the lesser team, you need those kind of antics in order to win.
JC: He resorted to the bottom of the barrel.
Q: Jarryd, the Oklahoma road trip (Tulsa and Oklahoma State). I've heard a few stories about a few phone applications, including QuizUp. I bring up QuizUp because of you (Colton) beating him at Australian trivia. So, Ping-Pong is one thing. How do you lose on your own country's trivia?
CN: Great question! That's a great question. I think the question I won on was `Which animals are not native to Australia?'
JC: And I was down by x amount of points by then and I needed to pick one of them as quickly as possible.
CN: I went with the good ole Grizzly Bear, which was correct, and I believe you went with...
JC: Probably the Knoxville bear is what I went with.
CN: Something obviously native to Australia. Probably you went with koala.
Q: If I see Grizzly Bear and Australia in the same sentence, for me that just automatically does not equal each other.
CN: That's exactly what I was thinking.
JC: I don't have a good answer here, Robby. I'm ashamed of myself. I think I let my country down and I more importantly, I let myself down. It won't happen again because I deleted the app.
CN: I guarantee I won't lose to him in American trivia.
Q: We can talk about Flappy Bird too if you want to.
CN: Flappy Bird was a one-hit wonder. We played pretty much non-stop for about two weeks and then I got a whopping 398, so everyone else quit because they were discouraged.
JC: It was a little bit like Lindsay Lohan...one-hit wonder. She was there and then she was gone.
CN: Flappy Bird and Lindsay Lohan...that's good.
Q: I haven't the story yet, even though I've heard it referenced so many times. Kenny.
JC: Kenny, it's a touchy subject. I don't know if he evolved in a dream I had. I had reached a point in my college career where I was sick of people asking if I had pet koalas and kangaroos and grizzly bears. I answered one day in the most cynical fashion that I did have a koala once and his name was Kenneth. Kenneth the Koala. I didn't want to really elaborate on it because it was a touchy subject, but he fell out of a tree one day, but he had bad arthritis in his fingers. He couldn't hold onto the tree anymore. As you can see, I'm choked up a bit, but the best koala a kid could ask for at the age of 3. It was heartbreaking to watch him go down like that. I heard a big thump from my bedroom and that was it. That's the legend, the myth of Kenneth the Koala.
CN: You did convince a class of that, though, right?
JC: I did convince one history discussion class on the opening day. They had to pick true or false and they said true to that.

NECP surrenders pharmacy business license to board
The state Board of Pharmacy issued an emergency suspension of the license on Oct. 8 and this week approved the surrender of the NECC license.
The company shipped three tainted batches of a steroid used to reduce back and joint pain. Seven New Hampshire residents have developed fungal meningitis after receiving back injections and another has been reported with a joint infection.
The suspension covers NECC's right to operate as a mail-order pharmacy in New Hampshire. Assistant Attorney General Sarah Blodgett said the state has no information that NECC was selling prescription drugs direct to consumers through the mail. The only known user of the tainted produce produced at NECC's compounding laboratory was PainClinic LLC, a multi-office pain-management practice based in Somersworth.

text: Our 5-year-old boy just finished the Learn to Skate classes in Boise, ID using his hockey skates and now needs a pair of figure skates when taking the Beginning Jumps and Spins class. Unfortunately we can't actually buy boys figure skates locally that I've been able to find. Other parents have said that we should buy skates rather than using the rentals because the rentals will fit differently each time and won't be as sharp. We're also looking to buy cheaply. We've committed to 2 Jumps and Spins sessions (14 weeks) and then we'll discuss with him if he wants to keep doing it (figure if he doesn't continue, no kid's hockey has ever been hurt by learning how to skate correctly). I just don't like the idea of buy skates online without having a way for him to try a comparable pair locally. Does anyone have any suggestions on buying skates, are there any where the boys and girls are exactly the same except for the color where we might have him try on the girls and then order the boys online?

The making of 'A Christmas Carol'
November 15, 2012
This season, the Backstage Theatre in Breckenridge brings a new adaptation of a holiday classic to the stage. Commissioned by the Backstage and adapted by Josh Hartwell, it's 'A Christmas Carol' as we all know it, but delivered by a cast of puppets created by Cory Gilstrap of Imagined Creations. Here, artistic director Christopher Willard describes what went into the production:
We weren't interested in presenting "yet another version" of "A Christmas Carol." We wanted to challenge our artists and inspire our audiences with a new way of experiencing a familiar story. I like to refer to it as "putting old wine in new bottles."We knew we wanted to create a more condensed version of the show for our smaller space. But we became excited by the possibility of using the limitations we faced to our advantage, making more demands on the performers to play a variety of parts (each actor plays about five characters) and to see where puppets could be used in the telling of the story. Having puppets represent the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future was obvious, but we loved the idea of having puppets narrate the show and then to have Tiny Tim and others represented by puppets as well. The design of the masks quickly morphed into being puppet-style as well, complementing the rest of the world we're creating.
There are various styles of puppetry in use for this production. Most of the Ghost puppets are bunraku-style puppets that require two operators to bring them to life. We are using a rod-style (Muppet design) for the narrators. We're utilizing full-size shadow puppets for the Fezziwig party and kite-style puppets for the phantoms that appear during the Marley scene. There is always a new and surprising puppet method being incorporated with every new section of the story being told.
It's a very exact art – like acting itself. You have to make specific choices and work to use the puppets as an extension of yourself. You have to breathe life into an inanimate object and invest in it so completely that the audience believes that object is alive, a unique personality and full of character.
We've been working with a Denver Center mask instructor to learn the elements of mask work. It all comes down to specifics, specifics, specifics. Mask work focuses the actor's energy on the physicality, and you become aware of every little nuance a gesture or turn can provide. The next step in our process is to amplify that choice to match the largeness of the mask and to communicate the emotion to the audience. Now that the actual masks are ready for us, the actors will go back to the mirrors to create the final work on solidifying their characters by making strong physical choices that convey character. It's a fascinating process that seems limiting when you think about it (removal of most facial expression), but actually is very freeing for the performer.
Even though this is a smaller cast version of the show, the scale of the theatrical effects is immense. Set, lighting, costuming and puppet design are all more ambitious than we've done in our space. The process of bringing together these elements and folding them into a seamless storytelling has been really fascinating and rewarding to see. I think people will be amazed at how a traditional story takes on so much more emotion, immediacy and excitement by being told in a unique and different style.
They add a level of charm and theatricality to the storytelling – as well as populating our stage with far more people than are actually walking the boards up there. The ultimate experience is going to be transporting. You're really going to feel like you're in a special type of Dickensian universe when you see this show.
Our costume design is very unique in that the actors playing the myriad of characters wear a base black costume (that has a representative period line to it), but then add selective pieces on top. I gave the challenge to the designer to only select three pieces of clothing that represent the individual character. Again, this notion of specificity drives the production at every level and artistic component.
"A Christmas Carol" opens tonight and runs through Dec. 29. Visit http://www.backstagetheatre.org for details.

Salt Lake City police were searching for a pair of armed suspects who barged into a home Thursday morning and demanded money and drugs.
The men broke into the ground-level apartment near 1720 W. 1300 North about 4 a.m. by kicking in a glass patio door, according to Salt Lake City Detective Dennis McGowan. They demanded money and drugs, threatened the couple living in the apartment then "tore it apart trying to find whatever it was they were looking for," McGowan said.
The men left after realizing they had upset three small children, ranging in age from 5 to 10 years old. McGowan said the couple and the children were all traumatized by the incident.
Police on Thursday morning did not know if the suspects chose to hit the apartment because they had a connection there, because it was a mistake or because it was chosen at random.
The case has been referred to gang detectives.
McGowan described both suspects as Hispanic men in their 20s. One man wore a red Utah Utes sweatshirt and a red bandana. The other wore a white bandana and a black shirt or sweatshirt.
Police ask anyone with information to contact investigators at 801-799-3000.

Of course, most people will remember her 2008 Worlds LP performance, but when I became a fan of Yukari when I saw this program. I was always so saddened by her, I guess, lack of accomplishment. Sure, she landed the triple axel a countless number of times, went to Worlds multiple times (and had many top 5 finishes), won medals on the GP and won medals (or maybe it was just once?) at the GPF, but she never got a World medal and never got a chance to go to the Olympics. What held her back? I know everyone is going to say leg wrap, but honestly, Midori was fine with a leg wrap.


text: Walking Together: Paul Farmer, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and the Limits of the Modern Juxtaposition of Religion and Global Health Mara G. Block Last week, hundreds of people crowded into the sanctuary of First Church in Cambridge to witness a conversation between Dr. Paul Farmer, Professor Davíd Carrasco, and MDiv candidate Lauren Taylor about Farmer's newest book, In the Company of the Poor (2013), co-written with Fr. Gustavo Gutiérrez. The book's structure emulates a conversation through six essays, old and new, alternately authored by Farmer and Gutiérrez. It culminates with the transcript of an interview with Farmer and Gutiérrez at the University of Notre Dame in the fall of 2011. The writings in the book portray a shared humility, a mutual respect, and a deep and long-standing friendship between two revolutionary thinkers whose respective disciplines share a grounding in the reality of social suffering and a preferential option for the poor—"O for the P,"[1] as Farmer has it. Their distinct commitments and irreducible differences never challenge Farmer's confidence that insights from liberation theology can inform the practice of medicine, nor Gutiérrez's conviction that the work carried out by Partners In Health bears a "deep resonance with the message of the gospel."[2] But what exactly is at stake in this book and in the conversations that it has inspired? Certainly not a sudden and new realization that their work rests on common values.[3] What's remarkable here, I think, is less their comparable paths than the fact that they're walking them together.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- UC Irvine hit a season-high .314 as a team to hand the University of Montreal a 3-1 (25-13, 22-25, 25-18, 25-11) loss in an exhibition match Saturday at the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational.
Middle blocker Arielle Manz shared the team lead in kills with 10, posting just one error in 21 attempts, and also delivered a career-high eight block assists. Outside hitter Shaina Olsen also recorded 10 kills while middle blocker Shannon Fleming was errorless in 20 tries, putting away nine kills for a .450 clip. Setter Mary Carls totaled 32 assists while Kristin Winkler notched a match-leading 15 digs.
UCI sped out to a 10-4 lead in the first set and would widen the margin to 10 points at 19-9 following a kill from Fleming. The Anteaters maintained control and Montreal would commit back-to-back unforced errors to end the first set.
The Anteaters' efficiency dipped in the second frame as the team hit a match-low .161. An ace from Winkler gave UCI a three-point edge at 10-7 but Montreal rallied to knot the score at 11-11. The two teams would keep the set close until at 21-21, Alexandra Lojen found Pamela Drapeau for the kill to kick off a three-point run, giving Montreal a 24-21 lead. Lojen would go to Drapeau again for the game-winning point to tie the match.
UCI rebounded and opened the third set with a 10-6 lead on an ace from Carls. Montreal scored four straight points to overtake the Anteaters at 13-12 but was unable to hang on as a kill and an ace from Hauser highlighted a three-point switch. UCI pulled away from a 17-17 tie on consecutive Anteater blocks and would claim a 21-17 lead. A Montreal kill from Sophie Bergeron briefly halted UCI's run but a pair of kills from Manz sandwiched a put-away from Olsen and Bergeron's attack error on set point would close out the frame.
It was all UCI in the final set as the Anteaters used a .400 hitting percentage to dispatch Montreal. UCI flew out to a 12-4 lead and cruised the remainder of the match, enjoying a 13-point lead at 17-4. Acres knocked down a ball on the overpass to give the team match point and Carls would find Hauser on the ensuing play for the win.
The Anteaters close out tournament action tonight at 4:00 p.m. (PT) against Portland State.

text: This might be one of the closest matchups in the finals in years. I'm not sure either team is 100% healthy - and that might make a huge difference. For the Lakers, Bynum is crippled, and I think that really hurts them against the more physical (ridiculously physical) and intense (ridiculously intense) Celtics. For the Celtics, Rondo might not be at full speed, and Davis' concussion might really effect him. (I'm not sure about the status of those two injuries). And the C's will really miss Marquis Daniels. Still, these are two driven franchises, and the Celtics vs. Lakers AGAIN is pretty intruiging.

Hey Everyone,
Im located in ohio but would not mind driving 500+ miles to meet someone. The car currently has 119xxx and will go up about another 1.5k by summer time ( Commuting from school when i go home).

here is the only sounds I have of it, only revved it to 5k rpms.
I installed a boost gauge and than noticed my lil TT had some breathing problems and began to investigate / replace all the silicon hoses that i could.
**Zip ties where only temporary for fixin the hoses**
The car as it sits now:
Recent Maintenance:
1. Oil Changed every 5k with full synthetic
2. Water pump done at 90k'
3. Crank position sensor changed (~2000)

by Rick Brewer, Sports Information Director Emeritus
RALEIGH - Kelvin Bryant, whose name is scattered throughout the Carolina record book, became the latest Tar Heel football player to be inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame Thursday night.
Bryant was one of 11 sports figures to be chosen for the Hall of Fame this year. It's the largest class in history as the Hall of Fame celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Among the other inductees were former Tar Heel basketball coach Bill Guthridge and two other Carolina graduates- Bob Quincy and Hugh Morton. Quincy was a longtime award-winning sports writer in Charlotte and a former sports information director at Carolina. Morton was a well-known philanthropist in the state and a photographer whose pictures filled sports publications.
But, the headline inductee was Bryant who starred at tailback here from 1979 to 1982. He arrived in Carolina after a heralded high school career in Tarboro, N.C. He set state rushing and scoring records and won state championships in the 100 and 200.
Bryant looks like he could play this weekend. His body is as chiseled as it was in his playing career.
His acceptance speech at the induction dinner was the best of the night. Throwing in just enough jokes, he spent time thanking the people of Tarboro for their support over the years. He said the Hall of Fame selection was a great honor and he hoped it would get his hometown more attention.
But, he also paid tribute to all his coaches and teammates during his career and most importantly, his family. Then in a Hall of Fame first, he thanked his lawyer.
The laughter was great he didn't get a chance to explain his attorney is his wife, Teresa.
Bryant came to Chapel Hill despite the fact Carolina was set at tailback with Amos Lawrence, one of the best players in the country. Bryant quickly established himself in fall practice as someone who would still see plenty of action. But, a separated shoulder limited him to just six games.
He bounced back as a sophomore to gain 1,039 yards while sharing the tailback job with Lawrence.
He then exploded into the national spotlight in 1981 as the fulltime starter. He gained 211 yards on just 19 carries and scored an ACC record six touchdowns against East Carolina in the season opener.
Next came a 136-yard, five-touchdown performance against Miami of Ohio. He followed that with 173 yards and four more touchdowns against Boston College. He still holds the NCAA record for most touchdowns in three consecutive games.
Sports Illustrated sent Doug Looney, its top college football writer, to Chapel Hill the next week to prepare a cover story on Bryant. Herschel Walker, Eric Dickerson and Marcus Allen had received most of the pre-season attention among running backs, but Bryant quickly had become the biggest story of the year.
Then came a major setback. After gaining 46 yards on only five carries at Georgia Tech, he twisted a knee on Grant Field's artificial grass. He missed the next four games.
Bryant tried to come back against Clemson in what at the time was called the biggest game in ACC history. It marked the first time that two ACC teams faced each other with both ranked in the Top 10.
But, Bryant was still rounding back into shape and was limited to 31 yards in a 10-8 loss, one of the most bruising defensive struggles in the college season.
He was back near top form in the final two games with 171 yards against Virginia and 247 against Duke.
He finished the year with 1,015 yards and 18 touchdowns although he played in just 22 of Carolina's 44 quarters.
He ran for 1,064 yards in his senior season despite missing another game with a sprained ankle.
Even though his injuries limited him to 33 games in his four years here, Bryant still ranks among Carolina's career leaders in rushing and scoring.
He is fourth in rushing with 3,267 yards on 599 carries. That's an average of 5.5 yards per attempt. He is eighth in scoring with 228 points. Four of the players ahead of him are kickers. Only Leon Johnson, Mike Voight and Charlie Justice have scored more touchdowns.
He and Lawrence share the school record for yards gained in a career against one opponent. Bryant ran for 635 yards in four games against Duke, matching Lawrence's total against Virginia.
Bryant was also a threat in the passing game with 44 catches. This came at a time when the emphasis of the Carolina offense was its powerful running attack.
A three-time All-ACC selection, he was an easy choice for the ACC's Silver Anniversary Team in 2003.
His pro career began with the Philadelphia Stars of the new USFL. The league made a special effort to sign top players like Bryant and Walker in an effort to establish itself as a possible threat to the NFL.
Bryant topped Walker for Player of the Year honors in his rookie season as the Stars won the league championship. Bryant was the MVP of the title game.
He later moved to the NFL and the Washington Redskins. Joe Gibbs, his coach there, once said, "When he's healthy, he's the best I've ever seen coming out of the backfield."
There are plenty of people who say the same thing about his career at Carolina.
