Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles Point System
Violating Maine driving and traffic laws can result in fines, the suspension of your driving privileges, and even imprisonment. The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) uses a point system to track violations and their corresponding penalties. Points are added to your driving record if you receive a traffic ticket for moving violations.
Different violations are assigned different point values, which are added to your driving record. For instance, moving violations like obstructing traffic lane conviction, improper turn and following too close each carry two points. Four-point offences include imprudent speed, imprudent driving and failing to stop at red light. The number of points assessed for different speeding violations are as follows:
Exceeding the maximum speed limit by less than15 mph:6 points
Exceeding the maximum speed limit by 15-30 mph:6 points
View the complete Point Schedule to learn about the number of points associated with each type of moving violation.
You will be subject to specific penalties if you accumulate a certain number of points on your driving license:
- You will have your license suspended if you accumulate 12 points or more on your current driving record within a year. The general suspension period is up to 15 days. A notice of warning is sent by the BMV once you accumulate 6 points.
- You will have your license suspended for 120 days if your license is suspended for three time in three years and in that period you are convicted of a fourth violation.
- Accumulating points on your driving license is also likely to increase your auto insurance rates. See our auto insurance section for more information about obtaining quality car insurance at competitive rates.
The Maine BMV maintains a record of all the points added to your driving license. However, there are a number of ways in which you can remove points from your current driving record.
- If you remain violation or suspension-free for one year, you can get one point deducted from your current driving record.
- Taking a Defensive Driving Course enables you to deduct three points from your current driving record within a 12 month period, and may also qualify you for a reduction in your car insurance rates.
If you believe you have been incorrectly charged with committing a moving violation, you may be able to fight the charge in court. See Traffic Tickets and Traffic Ticket Attorneys for more information.
- Points are not assessed for parking or other non-moving violations.

A look back on the second week of our hunt for what makes the Ideal Studio
We're now half way through our Ideal Studio project with Represent Recruitment and this week has seen another five studios sharing their ideas about what they believe makes for the perfect creative environment.
We kicked off with Mat Heinl of Moving Brands who told us about the challenge in making sure that crit culture is constructive and focusses on the right things. "We want to have crits of the work not crits of people," he said. "Sometimes you say, 'Let's go and sit next to John' and you end up talking about John. We want to talk about the work and you can help that by physically changing the perspective, by standing up."
Mat said that Moving Brands also believes in a culture where people can speak up in a more informal way as well. "We like the happenstance where people can walk past something and say 'That is interesting' – everyone is encouraged to comment and ask and learn."
Mathew Wilson of With Associates echoed this idea of constant, vicarious learning and idea generation but he and his team also have a secret weapon in their creative arsenal – a blackboard table. "It's been here four years now and features in an awful lot of what we do. Everybody is able to stand around it and you can make gesticulations and ideas manifest. The language here is "Let's do a table" and not a single day goes by when the table is not used at least once. The analogue factor of it as well is great."
Making opportunities for free and easy discussion was also important for Andreas Friberg Lundgren of Swedish studio Lundgren + Lindqvist. He said: "We try to uphold a rather strict schedule. The reason for this is that we, in our work process, constantly use each other for feedback, by bouncing ideas back and forth. Having people working outside the immediate reach would mean running the risk of losing some of the spontaneous discussions sparked in the heat of the moment."
For Andy Stevens of Graphic Thought Facility creative spaces should be geared to producing the best possible work rather than impressing outsiders. "Our space is good for us and it's not a space to win clients – people want to work with us because of the work we do," he said. I don't think anyone would be impressed by coming to our studio by the space. We don't look like what they might expect a creative business to look like but in some ways that's not a bad thing. If they do not feel our space because it's not swanky enough then it's probably not a good fit."
But for Mills of ustwo, their eye-catching ground floor does play an important role in attracting, and repelling, potential clients and employees. He said: "I believe this space is a big selling point for clients and new employees – it makes people want to work with us or for us." But he agreed with Andy that the way in which a space reflects a studio's personality is important in matching up clients and agencies. " If they don't (like it) then they are probably not right for us and we are probably not right for them."

Hurricane Ike hit the Texas coast hard in mid-September of 2008. The storm's effects were severe and long-lasting. But the devastation could have been much, much worse had the storm shifted its track by only a few miles.
The barrier island city of Galveston and communities on nearby Bolivar Peninsula bore the brunt of Ike's impact. Wikipedia remembers, "Most, if not all of the communities previously located on the Bolivar Peninsula, which together with Galveston Island separates Galveston Bay from the Gulf of Mexico, were utterly devastated … An early survey of Galveston Island, performed late Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14, 2008, indicated that the entirety of the Island west of 11 Mile Road was entirely devastated, and that few structures on Galveston's western one-third had survived." (See "Effects of Hurricane Ike in Texas")
In a retrospective story about Ike ("Five years later, Hurricane Ike still remembered deep in the hearts of Texans," by Dennis Mersereau), the Washington Post observes, "In the course of American history, few weather events are infamous enough to be remembered by name, let alone the date they occurred." September 13's Hurricane Ike landfall is one such event. "According to the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Ike was the third costliest hurricane in American history, behind Hurricanes Katrina (2005) and Sandy (2012), respectively, causing over $30 billion in damages in the United States alone," the Post reports. "Twenty people died along the Gulf Coast as a direct result of Ike's winds and flooding, and even more died across the central and eastern United States as the storm's remnants moved through and produced flash flooding."
But it's worth remembering that Texas actually got off lightly. By only a few miles, the storm missed taking a course directly up the Houston Ship Channel and hammering Houston with a body blow. The risk of such a storm track still exists, and according to experts, Houston is not ready. The Texas Tribune has this report: ("Researchers: Texas not ready for next hurricane," by Neena Satija).
"The dramatic growth of industry in the Houston Ship Channel, an economic engine for the state whose exports have exceeded even those of New York City, is one of the biggest causes for concern," the Tribune reports. "Some researchers worry that a direct-hit hurricane would wreak havoc on the channel's chemical and oil storage tanks, leading to spills and an environmental catastrophe."
At a Rice University conference in September, experts debated alternative approaches to hardening the Ship Channel against such a disaster. "A spirited debate has emerged over two possible solutions to protect the Ship Channel from a storm surge," the paper reports. "The SSPEED [Severe Storm Prediction, Education and Evacuation from Disasters] center is proposing a retractable gate across the channel's entrance known as the 'Centennial Gate.' The proposed gate, a submersible, 600-foot-long, 80-foot-tall barge that rests on the bottom of the channel, would cost an estimated $1.5 billion. A competing idea is the 'Ike Dike,' the work of scientists at Texas A&M University at Galveston. It would extend Galveston's current seawall westward along the entire island's coast and eastward along the Bolivar Peninsula — which proponents say would provide much wider protection to Houston in the process."

text: I was thrown off a bit by the sight of Katee Sackhoff getting all girly at Vin Diesel's Hollywood star ceremony the other day. Nothing at all out of place about Katee's real life good buddy Tricia Helfer showing Vin a little sideboob love at the RIDDICK premiere last night in LA. This is exactly the kind of outfit you expect the woman who played Number 6 on BSG to wear. That's a hot blouse, but I imagine leaving the house in such attire requires one to make sure everything on oneself is securely fixed in place and that handling anything is done in a careful manner. Because bending over for anything in that thing immediately becomes an impromptu stripper show. Though I suspect Tricia isn't too uptight about those things. So if I had just happened to be there with a picture of her in that now legendary red dress to autograph and just happened to have an outbreak of butterfingers as I tried to hand it to her, I don't think she would have minded bending over to pick it up for me. Having my phone at the ready in rapid shoot mode might be pushing it though.

Re: Maybe Joe isn't quite Tom Brady, but after reading this, I'm still glad he's our guy.
Tom brady's "supermodel wife" is not attractive. I see prettier girls consistently around town, at college, everywhere. Hell, 3 of my 4 sisters are considerably more attractive. I only leave out the 4th because she's 13.
I'm pretty sure lots of guys here have a prettier mate. It's not that hard to find. And it's not really some big "jackpot" situation that some make it out to be. You just have to be yourself (assuming you actually spend effort improving yourself and expanding your mind and getting the most out of your God-given talents) If you're thoughtful, charismatic, passionate, intelligent, and ambitious any single girl with an IQ over 110 will be all over you, looks have nothing to do with it.

Ever since Apple launched its App Store in 2008, platforms have waged war on each other to attract the most app developers. In smartphones, iPhone and Android have pulled far ahead while competing platforms like Windows Phone and BlackBerry have lagged behind. On tablets, iPad beats any other competitor by hundreds of thousands of apps. But now, the app wars are battling on a new front: Wearables.
Wearables were one of the hottest topics at last week's D:11 conference -- but as The Wall Street Journal noted in its coverage of the event, attendees' enthusiasm for wearables' potential seemed out of sync with the limited use of the devices today. I agree with that assessment: Wearables do have enormous potential, but they are niche products today, mostly single-purpose devices focused on health and fitness.
Wearables Have Potential, But Limited Penetration

Spain's best-known judge, Baltasar Garzón, suffered an abrupt and dramatic end to his legal career when he was banned from his profession for 11 years for authorising illicit recordings of lawyers' conversations during a massive political corruption case. The ruling is not subject to appeal.
Mr Garzón, who is well known for pursuing international human rights cases, is most famous for his attempt to extradite General Augusto Pinochet in 1998, which saw the former Chilean dictator detained for a year in Britain. He also succeeded in putting Adolfo Scilingo, a notorious member of the 1970s Argentinean junta, behind bars.
Yesterday's verdict, though, means Mr Garzón's days as Spain's most intrepid legal watchdog are over. The 56-year-old was barred after his wiretaps in the so-called "Gurtel case" – a corruption scandal in which entrepreneurs were accused of paying off politicians from the ruling Partido Popular party in order to obtain regional government contracts – were described by the judges as "practices of totalitarian regimes". Mr Garzón must also pay the defence team's costs, as well as an as yet unspecified fine.
Mr Garzón had claimed the wiretaps were necessary because he believed witnesses in the Gurtel case were giving their defence lawyers instructions to launder money.
But the statement by the judges, who issued a unanimous verdict, gave no quarter and argued that Mr Garzón had used police-state methods that stripped away basic the legal rights of the accused, engaged in professional misconduct and violated constitutional guarantees.
Mr Garzón's legal headaches do not end there, however, because he also faces two other trials. In one, he is accused of overstepping his authority in 2008 during his attempts to investigate human rights abuses during the Franco era. In another case, he is charged with accepting illicit payments from Spain's biggest bank, Santander.

Ambiance - wanna-be German beer garden tourist trap. Service - stood at the door waiting for someone to greet us. Finished perusing the beer list before they greeted us, so we left. Selection - A lot of German beers, which is nice. But the only craft beer were from Real Ale.

Texas/Bavaria ambience. All German brews with german food. Decent Frau service. If you are in Fburg, stop in.
fly (271) austin, Tejas, Texas | June 6, 2005
Nothing too spectacular. Offerings leaning mostly to the German imports which should be an obvious choice for anyone paying attention. Very enjoyable place when friends and former boss are in attendance and hes putting the tab on his company card.

Wonderful lil place within walking distance of everything on Main Street. Nice staff, good selection, relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful town. A must stop for any visit to Fredericksburg. Plus, the owner went to my high school, B.F. Terry High School in Rosenber, TX. Not that that should matter, but its kinda cool to meet someone from your alma mater (even if you could give a retarded llamas butt about your high school alma mater) in such a random corner of the world.

- Gear & Maintenance (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/)
- - Climbing Rope (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/63536-climbing-rope.html)
Climbing Rope
I have a connection to a rock gym and may be able to get my hands on some free climbing rope. The gym replaces their lines every 3 months and simply throws the old ones away. Would recycled climbing rope be practical on a cruiser?
Climbing rope in general is too stretchy for running rigging tasks, but might do well for mooring lines and anchor rodes if it will tolerate the conditions.
Handy for climbing the mast, I have some just for that use.
i think it would do well for jib or genny sheets, but not for halyards. but its a good just in case line too, keep 150 feet or so on board, extra anchor rode, spare sheets, emergency tow line, etc etc
If it floats, it might make a good stern line.
If stretches it is useless as a sheet or halyard.
If you use ascenders to climb your mast, you could haul a climbing rope up on your halyard and climb that rather than impose the wear and tear on the halyard itself, though with 3 months use in a climbing gym, much of the ropes intial strength will be gone. Most climbing ropes are intended to be retired after 10 or so falls.
As others have said it could be handy for backup mooring lines or a long emergency tow line, but it really wouldn't be much good for running rigging, except maybe for a preventer or boom brake system, where its properties would help absorb the energy of an accidental gybe.
There are a couple of exceptions, but one's related to going up the mast using jumars or a similar climbing aid to save you halyards from wear and tear. (We've got an old 10mm climbing rope just for this purpose, but I know it's use history.)
The other I've read about is use as an anchor snubber. There's a photo and explanation in Beth Leonard's book.
the only other use I've wondered about for a smaller boat would be as a preventer.
Sheets, halyards, no. Tow line or dock lines for anything larger than a small light boat or dingy, No.
Wow. Lots of theories from non-climbers.
I have used climbing rope around a boat for 20 years (2 catamarans, one 1500 pounds, the other 8,000 pounds). The thing is, climbing rope is cadalac rope... for it's intended purpose. A few thoughts.
* Not great for climbing the mast; too much stretch. Big wall climbers (those that use rope grabs to climb lines) often carry a separate static line (like yacht braid) for accending and hauling - I always did. Good for a mast safety line, because of the shock absorption, though generally you just use a spare halyard.
* Running rigging. Way too stretchy for any application.
* Splicing. Some can be spliced, but with a very different method than double braid. It's tricky because the cover is MUCH tighter than typical double braid. Figure on knots. Fortunatly it features high knot strength and easy knotability.
* Anchoring. Works great for this, but, it is not compatable with a windlass. Fair abrasion resistance if the run is clean. Superior shock absorption and edurance. No surprise. The easiest handling and coiling line available.
* Dock lines. The lack of splicing is a minor issue. Abrasion resistance is not as good as some other lines but it will last FOREVER if covered with 1" tubular climbing webbing as a chafe guard. I would certainly use free line for extras when cruising locally.
* Sea anchor rodes. Generally too small for boats large enough to need a drogue or sea anchor, but that would work.
I have old ropes lying about too. The only purpose I have found them serve well is as non-windlass anchor lines for boats under 3 tons. I have one that has been in that service for 20 years and is still in wonderful shape (primary rode on the small boat, and back-up on the larger boat).
FYI: the sort of "fall" that causes a climbing rope to be retired is about 10x more severe than a typical gym fall. It is what we call a double-back fall, going 90 feet on a 50-foot length of rope anchored to concrete, and is an incredible test of energy absorption. This cannot occur in a gym; only on the second pitch of a multi-pitch climb in the mountains or the local crag. No similarly rated high-tech, chain, or polyester yacht braid would survive even 1 drop. I doubt many nylon double braid anchor lines would, as I have seen them tested; the forces go through the roof and something breaks. The typical gym fall is about 10 feet with the rope anchored softly to another climber. If the force was anything over ~ 500 pounds , the knots wouldn't come out. This is well within their safe working load.
Typically climbing ropes are retired in gyms when they have lost about 1/3 of their stregth, according to the tests I have seen. Most climbing ropes are retired after a thousand falls, or so.
Floats? Not hardly. Polyester sheath, nylon core.
I would agree with the statements made by pdqaltair. It can be used aboard but you need to be smart about where to use it. Since it is coming from a gym, we are talking about dynamic line which is very different than static line.
I have seen anchor snubber on small vessels made of it which appeared to work quite well. Dock lines also seem like a potential use for a smaller vessel.
Thanks for the good info everyone. It looks like we found a new anchor line. Although, if that's all we're gonna get out of it it might not be worth the effort as it's a few hours away.

Plastic Logic says that Que, its large-format, slightly flexible e-reader is going to be shipping some time this summer rather than in mid-April. Now this delay isn't quite as entertaining as seeing JooJoo and Alex slip, (to the best of my knowledge, Plastic Logic isn't involved in any gossip-heavy lawsuits) but it still feels significant. After all, we first heard about the device last spring and then were led to believe it was going to be Barnes & Noble's in-house e-reader, a position it eventually gave up to the Nook. Que will still support B&N's e-book store but clearly it isn't the 'lead platform' for it.
[ Get news and reviews on tech toys in ITworld's personal tech newsletter]
What's more troubling is that Plastic Logic has stopped taking pre-orders of both the $649 4GB model and the $799 8GB, 3G model. The site just says "Pre-orders are sold out. Notify me when QUE is available." without anything in the way of additional information. How do you sell out of pre-orders? Either the demand is so high that Plastic Logic doesn't think it can meet it, or something has gone amiss. A quick perusal of the site will tell you that Que is aimed at businesses; maybe Plastic Logic is finding it's more lucrative to talk directly to verticals like healthcare and legal rather than selling to consumers? That's total speculation on my part. Meanwhile, the iPad pre-orders are rolling in and Apple is ready to establish its beachhead in the land of folks who read e-books. Now Que is an e-reader, not a tablet, but the arrival of the iPad seems to have swept that distinction away. Everyone seems to think the iPad will be the e-reader to beat even though it has a conventional backlit LED screen. Weren't we trying to get away from those due to eye strain? Maybe the Reality Distortion Field solves the eye-strain issue? In any event, VentureBeat reported a figure of 120,000 iPads pre-ordered on Friday. This was an estimate based on timestamps and serial numbers, so take it with a grain of salt, but if it's even close to accurate the iPad is off to a good start. And apparently those same verticals that the Que ought to appeal to are also a good, and perhaps better, fit for the iPad. Any way you look at it, this delay is bad news for Plastic Logic and the Que.

The Canisius College hockey team has a rich tradition that began as the vision of one man and grew into a NCAA Division I program. Dr. David Dietz, professor of classics and the father of Canisius hockey, has seen it evolve from the first day of practice as a club team to the move from the ECAC West to its current place in the Atlantic Hockey Association.
Canisius hockey was born in fall 1971. In spring 1972, the club saw the true beginning of the program - its first win. The program went 6-2-0 and played a mix of intercollegiate and club teams.
In April 1973, Canisius was accepted into the Finger Lakes Collegiate Hockey League for play beginning in fall 1974. The FLCHL gave the Griffs the opportunity to play a consistent schedule against a mix of teams from Western and Central New York. The Griffs went 10-2-0 and finished first during the regular season in the inaugural season of the FLCHL (1973-74).
The club hit its pinnacle during the 1974-75 season as the Griffs finished with a 15-2-0 record and defeated St. John Fisher in the league's championship game, 7-0. Proving that the previous year was no fluke, Canisius took its second straight postseason crown by defeating the Geneseo Ice Knights, 5-2, for the FLCHL Championship.
With great success during the previous two seasons, it was evident the Griffs were moving to another level. Seeing this, Dr. Dietz chose to step aside as the club team's coach.
That change came in the form of University at Buffalo graduate Mike Kelly. Kelly began coaching during the 1976-77 season. The Griffs finished 9-6-4, falling to Erie Community College in the league's championship game. Kelly was named FLCHL Coach of the Year.
Canisius met ECC in the 1977-78 FLCHL Championship game and were stymied by the Ice Kats for the second year in a row, 8-4.
Canisius went 17-10-2 and won the 1978-79 FLCHL Championship with a 6-4 decision over Niagara-Welland in the league's title game. Mike Denz was named tournament MVP.
The 1979-80 ice hockey season ended an era in Canisius athletics as the club hockey team would lace up their skates for the last time before moving to varsity status. The Griffs concluded this chapter in Canisius history with a 5-4 victory over Mohawk College in the inaugural Championship of the International Collegiate Hockey League.
The Move to Division III
The Griffs began Division III play with a new look. Brian Cavanaugh would take over the program and would lead the Griffs for 23 of the next 24 years. Canisius earned its first-ever NCAA victory on Nov. 22, 1980 with a 7-4 win over Niagara Welland and ended the season with a 13-12-2 record.
Canisius continued its success in its second season of play, posting its second-straight winning season with a 16-12-1 mark. Cavanaugh would leave his position as head coach for one season in 1982 and Carl Koeppel would assume the reins. The Griffs would struggle the next two years under Koeppel and Cavanaugh, posting records of 9-16-1 and 5-21-1. However, Canisius would respond in 1984.
During the fall of 1984, a new generation of Griffs would arrive on campus and the school record books would be rewritten behind three future Canisius Hall of Famers. Joe Federico, Kevin Sykes and Mike Torrillo would all leave their mark on the Canisius hockey program before graduating.
The Griffs turned things around to begin the 1984-85 season. After posting two-consecutive losing seasons, Canisius won four of its first five games en route to a 15-12-2 record. The 9.5 game turnaround from the 1983-84 season remains the greatest improvement in one season during school history. Sykes would lead the Griffs in scoring during his rookie season, posting 54 points on 28 goals and 26 assists. Federico registered one of the greatest seasons by a defender, recording 31 points and a school-record 27 assists.
The 1985-86 season would once again show the promise of the Canisius hockey team. The Griffs posted an 18-9-2 record and would earn the program's first-ever postseason bid. Canisius squared off with Elmira in the ECAC West Quarterfinals but the Soaring Eagles would emerge victorious, 6-3. Torrillo led the Griffs in scoring, posting 71 points on 27 goals and a school-record 44 assists.
During the 1986-87 season, the Griffs would advance one step further. The team won a school-record 21 games during the regular season and earned a second-straight trip to the ECAC West Quarterfinals. The Griffs faced RIT in Rochester and won its first-ever postseason game with a 2-0 victory. However, Canisius' run would end in the semifinals, falling to Plattsburgh, 9-4. Torrillo once again led the team in scoring, posting 69 points on a program-best 36 goals plus 33 assists.
The three seniors wrapped up their Hall of Fame careers during the 1987-88 campaign, posting a 15-12-0 record. Canisius would earn a chance at redemption against Plattsburgh, squaring off against the Cardinals in the ECAC Quarterfinals. However, Plattsburgh would once again eliminate the Griffs, winning 6-3. Torrillo once again led the Griffs in scoring, setting his third school record with 74 points on 33 goals and 41 assists.
Torrillo and Sykes graduated as the top two scorers in school history and it still remains that way 25 seasons later. Torrillo owns the program's top marks with 265 points, 121 goals and 144 assists. Sykes ranks second with 234 points, 114 goals and 120 assists. Federico registered 102 points on 18 goals and 84 assists. His point total and assist total are still records for Canisius defensemen.
With the loss of the three players, the Griffs fell below .500 during the 1988-89 season but still managed to grab it fourth-consecutive playoff berth. However, the Griffs experienced a similar postseason result, losing in the ECAC West Quarterfinals to Union, 6-3. Mike Sisti proved to be the new leader of the Griffs, recording 57 points on 33 goals and 24 assists. Sisti ranks fourth in school history with 163 points on 74 points and 89 assists and was inducted into the Canisius Hall of Fame in 2002.
The Griffs struggled through the four seasons after its 1989 playoff appearance. For the first time in school history, Canisius went four-straight years without a winning season. However, the Griffs responded with nine-consecutive winning seasons, their longest run in the program's history.
Canisius' winning ways began in the 1992-93 season, posting an 18-11-1 record, including a 17-6-1 mark against ECAC West opponents. The Griffs earned its first postseason bid in five years, defeating Mercyhurst in the ECAC West Semifinals, 5-3, before falling to Elmira, 2-1, in the championship game. The season also included the most dominating win in school history, a 22-1 victory over Scranton.
The Griffs returned to the postseason the next two seasons, falling in the semifinals to RIT both seasons. Canisius lost to the Tigers to end the 1993-94 campaign, 4-3. The Griffs' defeat at the end of the 1994-95 season is the longest game in school history, going into two overtimes before RIT won, 5-4.
Canisius returned to championship form once again during the 1995-96 campaign, led by Josh Oort. The future Canisius Hall of Famer, Oort would lead the Griffs to an 18-7-2 record and the postseason for a fourth-straight year. The Griffs would defeat Mercyhurst, 6-2, before once again falling to RIT in overtime, 3-2, in the championship. Oort would post 44 points on 15 goals and 29 assists to lead the Griffs' offense for the first of three-consecutive seasons. Oort, who ranks third in school history with 172 career points, joined Torrillo as the only Griffs to lead the team in scoring in three-straight seasons.
The Griffs finished play at the Division III level with two more playoff berths. For the third-consecutive season, Canisius lost to RIT in overtime to end its season, falling to the Tigers, 3-2, in the semifinals. The Griffs' final season at Division III ended with a loss to rival Niagara, 4-1, in the ECAC West Semifinals.
The Division I Era
Before the 1997-98 season, Canisius announced it would move to Division I and joined the newly-formed MAAC Hockey League beginning in 1998. The Griffs would now take on the strongest competition in the NCAA and looked to continue its success at the new level.
Canisius began its new era in style, posting a 16-15-5 record and advancing to the MAAC Championship in its first season. As the No. 4 seed, the Griffs topped fifth-seeded AIC, 7-4, in the quarterfinals and upset top-seeded Quinnipiac in the semifinals, 5-2, before falling to Holy Cross in the championship, 4-3.
Individually, Chris Duggan and David Deeves enjoyed successful seasons for the Griffs in their first season at the Division I level. Duggan set single-season records with 48 points, 22 goals and 26 assists - marks that stood for 12 years - and Deeves recorded 34 points on 18 goals and 16 assists.
The duo would lead the Griffs during the next three seasons. Despite Duggan missing most of the 1999-00 season due to injury, the Griffs would match a school record with 21 wins but would fall in the MAAC Quarterfinals to Iona, 4-3. Goalie Sean Weaver would step up in Duggan's absence and was named the MAAC Goaltender of the Year.
Duggan would return for the 2000-01 season, posting his second-best season with 35 points. The Griffs finished the season with a 17-12-4 record and defeated Connecticut, 4-1 in the MAAC Quarterfinals before falling to Mercyhurst, 4-3, in the semifinals.
The first class in the Division I era would end their careers in the 2002 MAAC Quarterfinals, falling to Sacred Heart, 3-2 in overtime. Deeves and Duggan finished their careers ranked first and second, respectively, in the program's Division I record book, marks that would stand for the next eight years as the program grew from what the duo started as freshmen.
The Griffs struggled through a 2002-03 season, compiling a 12-21-4 record, However, the year was highlighted by hosting the 2003 Frozen Four at HSBC Arena where Minnesota defeated New Hampshire, 5-1.
The next two seasons marked a time of change for Canisius. The Griffs left the MAAC after the 2002-03 season and joined the newly-formed Atlantic Hockey Association. Cavanaugh would also end his Canisius career after an amazing 341 victories at the helm of the Golden Griffin program.
Dave Smith was named the Golden Griffins' third coach on April 15, 2005. Smith has had an immediate impact in short time in charge of the program.
Smith made a splash right from the start of his career with his first full recruiting class earning 12 weekly awards during the 2006-07 season. The program also started to see progress in its results.
In October of 2007, Canisius played No. 17 St. Cloud State to a 3-3 draw, marking the team's first-ever point against a nationally-ranked school. The Griffs took it one step farther during the 2008-09 campaign when Canisius swept a pair of game at nationally-ranked Air Force. The wins against the No. 15 Falcons marked the first victories for Canisius over a ranked opponent in the program's history. During this time, the Griffs also recorded victories over a CCHA foe (Ferris State) and an ECAC school (Clarkson), while tying a Hockey East opponent (Merrimack) – all first in the school's history.
The 2008-09 season was capped by Dave Kostuch earning Atlantic Hockey Rookie of the Year accolades with juniors Carl Hudson and Jason Weeks being named to the all-conference third team.
The Griffs continued their climb up the ladder during the 2009-10 campaign, ranking among the nation's elite, earning individual accolades and watching a number of records fall.
Cory Conacher opened his junior season with a hat trick against Lake Superior State and didn't slow down the rest of the way. Conacher became the first Griff to garner Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year accolades and set a number of school records. He totaled 53 points and 33 assists, the most in the program's Division I history, while ranking second nationally with 1.51 points per game. Conacher was joined on the all-conference team by Hudson and junior Vincent Scarsella, who earned second and third-team honors, respectively.
The 2009-10 campaign also marked the final season for Smith's first full recruiting class and the group did not disappoint. The Class of 2010 helped Canisius to one of its most successful seasons in the program's early Division I history - earning its most wins in nine years and advancing to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals for the first time since 2004.
The success of the class did not end as the Canisius season came to an end. Seven members of the team went on to play professional hockey, including Hudson, who became the first Griff to sign an NHL contract after joining the Florida Panthers.
Conacher returned for his senior campaign the next season and helped lead a young Canisius squad. On a team that featured 10 freshmen, Conacher became the first player in the program's history to record two 40-point seasons, leading the Griffs with 42 points on a school-record 23 goals and 19 assists. Named to the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award All-America First Team, Conacher graduated with 12 career, single-season and single-game records, which includes career marks in points (147), goals (62) and game-winning tallies (12).
Following his graduation, Conacher would continue his success at the professional level. During the 2011-12 season with the AHL's Norfolk Admirals, Conacher became the fourth player in the league's history to garner MVP and Rookie of the Year accolades in the same year. He capped the season by lifting the Calder Cup with the Admirals. Conacher upped his game the following season and became the first Griff to appear in an NHL game. The former Canisius standout scored a goal in his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning – becoming the first Atlantic Hockey player to record a tally in the world's top league – and has accumulated 55 points, 18 goals and 37 assists in 126 games with Tampa Bay, the Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres.
Atlantic Hockey Champions
Forty-two years after Dr. Dietz formed the program and after 33 seasons of competing at the NCAA level, the Canisius hockey team finally reached the top and claimed a championship during the 2012-13 campaign. Smith led the Griffs to their first Atlantic Hockey crown during the season and the team's first trip to the NCAA Tournament.
The title did not come easy for Canisius but the team played its best hockey of the year with its season on the line. The Griffs opened the month of March with a two-game sweep against conference nemesis RIT, its first weekend sweep in the 61-game series history with the Tigers. The two wins secured Canisius a home series to start the Atlantic Hockey Tournament as the No. 7 seed.
Canisius opened the tournament with convincing victories against No. 10 Bentley in a two-game series sweep. The Griffs then traveled to play second-seeded Air Force in the league's quarterfinals. The Falcons were the two-time defending Atlantic Hockey Champions and had claimed five of the last six titles but Canisius emerged victorious with another two-game sweep. Kyle Gibbons led the Griffs' in the opener, scoring with 9.1 seconds remaining for a 4-3 victory with Duncan McKellar then finishing the sweep with an overtime goal in the second game for another 4-3 win and a trip to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals.
Making the trip to Rochester for the league's championship weekend, Canisius faced a familiar opponent in rival Niagara. The Purple Eagles claimed the league's regular-season title and were ranked 15th nationally in the polls but the Griffs earned the 5-3 win to advance to their first Atlantic Hockey Championship. In the title game, Canisius raced past Mercyhurst, 7-2, for the program's first championship. Gibbons was named tournament MVP after posting four points, two goals and two assists in the title game and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by forward Tyler Wiseman, defender Ben Danford and goalkeeper Tony Capobianco.
Canisius won a school-record eight-straight games to win its first league title. In their NCAA Tournament debut, the Griffs played top-ranked Quinnipiac in the NCAA East Regional Semifinal. Canisius held a 3-1 third-period lead before the Bobcats scored the game's final three goals for a 4-3 victory en route to an appearance in the NCAA title game.
The Griffs nearly duplicated the championship feat a season later but ultimately, fell just short. Once again entering the tournament as the seven seed, Canisius swept No. 10 Sacred Heart in the first round. The Griffs then once again eliminated the tournament's top two seeds to advance to their second-straight title game. Canisius rallied past second-seeded Bentley in the quarterfinals, earning the series victory after losing the first game in overtime and trailing by as many as three goals in the third period of the second contest. However, Canisius scored the game's final four goals and then won in game three, 3-2, behind a hat trick from Mitch McCrank. The excitement carried over into the next weekend when the Griffs eliminated top-seeded Mercyhurst, 5-4, in the longest game in the program's Division I history (93:30) when defender Stephen Farrell scored the game-winning tally in double overtime. The run, however, would end in the championship game when Robert Morris broke open a tied game in the third period to earn a 7-4 victory.
The Class of 2014 graduated as one of the most successful classes in school history. The 2013 Atlantic Hockey Championship MVP, Gibbons also collected first-team Senior CLASS All-America honors in 2014. Netminder Tony Capobianco graduated with eight schools records to his name and owned an impressive 11-2-0 career postseason record. An all-conference selection as a senior, Ben Danford appeared in all 158 games during his career and set the school record with 74 career assists by a defender.

Angulo upsets Bonani
Former world title challenger Fernando Angulo (25-9, 15 KOs) decisively beat Juan Manuel Bonanni (20-4-3, 7 KOs) of Argentina over 12 rounds in route to winning a split decision at the Club Ciclista Juninense in Junin, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The aggression of Angulo was just too much for Bonanni who was dropped in rounds 8 and 12. In the fourth round it appeard that Angulo had scored another knockdown of Bonanni but referee Jorge Basile did not count it as such. In the end the official scorecards were Jorge Millicay 118-110 for Angulo, Jose Asuncion 116-110 for Angulo, and Arturo Villegas 115-113 surprisingly for the local fighter Bonanni. Angulo based out of Venezuela by way of Ecuador, won the WBC interim Latino welterweight title with the victory. Angulo once unsuccessfully challenged Juan Diaz for a world title back in 2006. Promoter of the event was Mario Arano (Arano Box).

I see where you're going but the fact that none of the honeybees we work for honey are native to the America's leaves the theory unsupported. Not sure if I'm missing something here.
We had in Finland very strong population of German black bees but varroa killed them all.I have nothing good to say about that Black Devil. it was quite wild and when that Devil passed away, domestication of honey bee has made great progress.
Are they better than others? Who knows, I'd like to think so but I have no proof.
There is some evidence that as AHB moves up into higher altitudes (and therefore colder climates) that it is more docile. At least some scientists in South American have made that observation. Maybe there is something to that.

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
Yes, that's what a friend of mine calls it when I complained to her about it, lol! Thanks. What do we do with this?
Ok, so I can do something now .... other than hand removal (large yard, lol - we have a farm on hilly rocky ground. Hard to get pasture to grow! and now this junk).
Actually, it IS pretty, IF it would stay in an area designed for it, but that's not happening -its EVERYWHERE.
What kind of chemical do I use now (that won't kill the grass). Then you said do something in October? What kind of chemical would that be? THANKS]

The cannabinoid delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is the principal psychoactive ingredient of marijuana. The proteins encoded by this gene and the cannabinoid receptor 1 (brain) (CNR1) gene have the characteristics of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein)-coupled receptor for cannabinoids. They inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in a dose-dependent, stereoselective, and pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. These proteins have been found to be involved in the cannabinoid-induced CNS effects (including alterations in mood and cognition) experienced by users of marijuana. The cannabinoid receptors are members of family 1 of the G-protein-coupled receptors.

People who get frothy about removing pubic hair?(98 Posts)
I do get the whole pre-pubescent/pornstar thing.
but what about legs and pits?
Is that not the same argument?
Despite not really giving two hoots what other people do (and I know the whole shave/trim/plait thing has been done to death) but it confuses me.
Yes, but FGM is considered so bad because it means the woman is likely to experience agonising pain whenever they have intercourse, is likely to experience severe tearing during childbirth and will have no feeling during any form of sex.
Male circumsicion, if I understand it, does not have the same effect. That's why I went with comparing it to cosmetic surgery to trim the lips (which is something that is happening and is legal by choice).
no one is saying that everyone who waxes or shaves all their pubic hair has been influenced by porn or what they believe men want (that has been influenced by porn)
but to deny that it has had an influence is naive, why are so many women dieting to the extreme, having plastic boobs, hair extensions, false lashes, botex, lips pumped up and ffs vajazales
sadly we are constantly bombarded with images of how women should look like, porn is far more mainstream that it ever has been and it is influencing young women and men on how women should look (and act) like
when i was young i never gave it a second thought what my vagina may look like to a man i had sex with. i may have trimmed my hair but now it is part of our grooming
See that's why I compared it to fgm. I know the impact of fgm is bloody awful, and I note that quite rightly it gets the bigger reaction.
Lip trimming, hair removal etc tends to e a choice. Fgm and circumcision isn't so although the effects differ I just meant to acknowledge why the circumcision vs not debates between men might get rather heated.
I did not mean to belittle fgm at all, it what I'm badly trying to say.
I didn't mean that I thought you were belittling FGM. I meant that it's very difficult to compare mail and female, becuase the effects are quite different.
Male and female, even.
glad you knew what I meant. I get het up at the idea of people not being able to choose what they do with their own bodies.
I've been wondering how "new" the whole pubic hair removal thing is. I know (think) in the Middle East it's been pretty common for centuries, but I wonder about Western Europe. A few months back, we went to a lot of art galleries in Madrid, and thereby saw a LOT of nude women (paintings, not actual people mind), painted throughout the centuries. I noticed that, pretty much up until the 1920s or so, female nudes are painted sans pubic hair.
Is this because 1) it was too much of a pain to paint or 2) it didn't "look nice" so painters didn't include or 3) it was common for women (or at least artists' models) to remove their pubes.
We'll probably never know ... (it's been bugging me for months)
e.g. 1
e.g. 2
and yeah, thanks MN for having all these discussions about pubic hair and the removal thereof, which then FORCED me to spend a lot of time staring at painted crotches and thinking about this.
play "spot the pubic hair"
Absy, actually I have found the answer to that.
Shaving goes back to the Roman times, believe it or not. They considered body hair of any kind to be unsanitary, and removed it. It's been done in the Middle East for centuries as well.
The western trend is probably going to discust you. It began in brothels, when some prostitues would remove their pubes and replace them with mirkins (pubic wigs) to hide a syphillus infection. It wasn't done in other western setting, nor was other body hair removal until very recently. I know a 60 odd year old who has never once shaved her armpits, for example.
I've seen lots of 18th and 19th century paintings with plenty of pubes, along with many pre-modern photos and paintings (in an artistic gallery, obviously). It seems to have become mainstream since the 80s. Porn before then was full haired.
It seems to have gone viral since then, slowly. Perhaps because of porn, but it's also come about since the imitation of mediterranian women became commonplace (the tanning obsession, white skin used to be attractive until recently), who have removed pubes for many years "for hygiene reasons", so they say. Hence the term "Brazil Wax".
Venus was Roman, that's why. The Romans removed pubes millenia ago.
I remove all hair underneath because I find it much more comfortable. I've done it since I was 14 - well before I saw any porn or had the input from any man
Thanks Knights! that has bugged me since about May.
I do also wonder if there is a degree of "idealism" in there. When painting got a bit more gritty (less idealised I suppose), you start getting more pubes.
I shave all mine off when I can be arsed. Not because DH likes it or to look like a porn star and it's definitely not to make myself look like a little girl but because I prefer it that way. I find it's more comfortable without than with pubes
I'm not sure it would have been idealised, exactly. It's probably mostly the country of origin. As I said, I regularly see gallery artistic works from all over the world, and lot's of those have pubes. Especially the French and British ones.
On the point of paintings and sculptures, as I understand it artists would use prostitutes etc as models to get the main part of he paintings done. They would then scout out a woman with a desirable face to sit for a short period for the facial features or if it was a painting of a lady of social standing they would ask her to sit for a short time and paint her face onto the body they had already painted iyswim? Obviously I don't expect Ladys and Duchesses had nude paintings done but because the practice was to use prostitutes as models for paintings I expect they were painted as seen and would have been hairless for the reasons pp mentioned above.
Just FYI - I also see a lot of paintings that have no nudes in them. Like boats and trees and stuff.
Haha - me too Knight. I don't just stare at naked women when in galleries. I was just noticing them, thanks to MN.
I don't just stare at them. I just see a lot of art as part of my job.
Personally, I prefer the archaic weapons. But nudity seems to feature in a lot of painting FSR. My theory is that the artists don't get laid much, so they obsess about naked women.
I had to have emergency surgery on my bits last week. Hadn't shaved my legs in about two months, pubes were out of control, not even trimmed. I just thought fuckit, I'm a feminist, the important thing here is not HAIR. I'm hairy, move on.
When I was recuperating from the op, the young woman in the next bed was screaming in agony, sobbing uncontrollably, with an ectopic pregnancy. Her mother among many other comforting words berated her for "not even shaving your legs"…the world is truly fucked.
By my understanding, part of the reason for not painting pubic hair was because it was considered too natural and sexual, and paintings were often very idealised and less 'human'. Paintings of bushy women would have caused a scandal in certain times and places, and less hairiness was supposed to look more innocent (or possibly more controlled/tamed).
Not going to say what I do with mine
However. Have noticed this (on this thread, and the many, many others before it):
1) Some posters attack those who get rid ('you're only doing it for your OH', 'looks like a plucked chicken', 'looks pre-pubescent', etc).
2) Some posters attack those don't get rid ('it's unhygienic', etc).
Unless we're all going to wave our fanjos in each other's faces, wtf does it actually matter? Each to their own and all that.
OK, I've been afraid to give my opinion. But I'll go for it now.
DW had never done really done much with her bush for the last 8yrs. Occasional trimming, but not often. Never really bothered me. I was a little curious as I'd never slept with anyone who did remove there's, and people argue about it so much. But not curious enough to actually want DW to do it, IYSWIM. Plus, she was quite morally against it because of the pre-pubescent arguement.
A few months ago, she suddenly decided to shave it. Said she was curious and wanted to see what it was like. Then she said she preferred it that way, she says it's more comfortable and so has kept doing it since then. So it wasn't me influencing her and she is completely against porn - like, if-I-used-it-she'd-leave-me against it. So not that. She just prefers it for some reason.
From my perspective, she certainly doesn't look any less womanly. You couldn't mistake her full womanly figure for that of any girl. I can't say it feels much different during sex, except that it can get a little sand-papery some times. As for the hygiene arguement - let's be honest, either you wash yourself or you don't. Doesn't really make much difference.
The real difference is during oral sex. I don't need to use one hand to hold the hair aside to get in there now, and you don't get saliva welling up in that mound at the bottom of the triangle. So it does make that much nicer to give. Other than that, it doesn't make lot of difference.
we may not need to get frothy about what people choose do to to their own bodies
but we certainly should about what is influencing young women today, what is expected to be the norm and and where those influences come from

Microsoft announced more details on Office 2010 today. It's a healthy release from my perspective: more, simpler, better, faster, cleaner. But there's an interesting new thing that Microsoft has introduced with this release. They call it "Backstage," but it might be easier to think of it as the context of the document -- everything you need know about it and everything that you can do with it.
At the highest level, Backstage is all the stuff you do once the document has been created: save it, print it, email it, etc. It's also all of the metadata associated with the document: permissions, version history, etc. This makes it much easier for teams to collaborate on documents and for documents to be part of a workflow or business process.
It looks like this:
So why does this matter? Three reasons:
The "context" of the document as visible as the contents of the document. It's as if the book just got a cover, a card catalog label, and an availability tracker. Wow. Metadata that matters to anyone who's looking for the document.

Need help with finishing touches on radiant heat system
Hello all,
As a few of you may know, I've been planning and building a whole-house Radiant heat system for about 1.5 years. The basic premise is a primary circuit fed by a Weil-McClain Ultra-80 boiler, and three secondary circuits, one for each floor of the house. Each secondary is controlled by its own thermostat, and the system is controlled by a TACO 503 switching relay.
Details: The basement is poured concrete on PEX-AL-PEX, the first floor is PEX-AL-PEX stapled up under 1.5" of hardwood with aluminum heat transfer plates, and the second floor is O2 barrier PEX going to 4 different radiators. There is also a 4-way mixing valve for the basement circuit to lower the temperature of the supply water. system temperatures atr ~140-150 degrees, and the basement circuit is ~95 degrees. I made my own manifold for the circuit on the first floor circuit out of copper, but purchased "real" brass manifolds for the basement and the second floor circuit. I bought three new TACO 007 circulators, and the fouurth is recycled from the previous gravity-fed system (completely gone). The recycled 007 is on the second floor circuit...
So I finally have the whole thing set up and tried to run it yesterday for the first time.... I have come across two problems, and I would like advise on how to proceed....
1. Leaks on all the brass manifolds. I have all the manifolds threaded through brass nipples (one manifold is attached to galv. steel) with plumbers tape. The worst offender is the highest manifold in the system. I drained the system, removed the lines, and tried to tighten the manifold with a 20" wrench... it simply will not tighten anymore and still leaks. It is a very slow leak but a leak nontheless. I let the system run since yesterday, and the leak has continued, and now I'm seeing leaks at all the brass manifolds. I tried to patch it with caulk, and then that strechy black plumbers fixit tape. Nothng seems to work. I'm also getting a leak at one of the PEX-manifold connections. This is a compression fitting and it simply will not tighten any more (the rest are fine) What do I do?
2. No hot water to the second floor. The basement and 1st floor lines are working fantastically (1st floor is warm, something I couldn't achieve with our forced air system). I think the recycled circulator is not functioning properly... I've heard about "burping" the circulator, but I'm not sure how to do this. I'm pretty sure there is no air in the lines, and I have a vent right next to the circulator. I am attaching pictures. I know I should have placed valves on either side of every circulator but for my set-up that was just too expensive (~$15/valve x 4). Does it need to be replaced? How can I tell if the motor is turning?
Thanks for your help.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
1. There's no auto-fill for make-up water with backflow preventer. Im assuming the blue pex is your fill line and the gate valve is how you filled the system.
2. Caulk, rubber tape, etc., is not the proper way to fix a leak. Disassemble the fitting and inspect. If the threads are alright, use some leak-lock, a few wraps of teflon, or both.
3. What's the pressure in the system... Also, a 007 may not have the necessary head pressure to push through 1/2" pex and second floor radiators. Is that check valve installed in the right direction?
4. Is this supposed to be a primary/secondary piping setup? It's not done properly.
5. Drain valves should be placed on the return of each circuit before it dumps back into the main to purge air out when filling.
6. 150 degree water running through the plates under the first floor hardwood is awfully hot. You're asking for trouble with the hardwood. I know it feels nice on the tootsies, but the floor isnt really supposed to be 85 degrees.
7. Put your hand on the circulator, you'll feel the vibration if it's spinning.
Honestly, I'd pull that all apart and start over.
why did you use galvinized piping :no: you should of did all copper or black to the headers anyplace you have copper to galvinized with a boiler supplying 170F-180F water you are going to get electrolysis over the coming years you better get some flood insurance...:wink:
Thanks for the response...
I'd rather not start over unless there is a fundemental problem with my set-up.
The black pipe for gas? Doesn't that corrode more than galvanized? anyway, I have dielectric unions anytime there is contact with copper.
black pipe for commercial installations is an indusrty standard...and definitly residentials from the meters..
Guess I am confused.... are talking about the same black pipe? The only black pipe in my system supplies gas to the boiler.

correct wiring to subpanel in garage
I am working on connecting a subpanel in a new garage building... I am not going to be required to do an inspection of the electrical for this building (my township screwed up I suppose, I have a bldg. less than 1000 sq. ft... 988 to be precise, and they only issued a zoning permit which doesn't require separate electric and plumbing inspections). REGARDLESS of an inspection, I want to know that all my connections are positively correct before I switch on the new service to the garage... I would have an electrician who is part of my wife's family come over to take a look at my work, unfortunately he lives hours away.
In order to pave the way for my new outbuilding project, I did an upgrade to my home two years ago which included putting in a new main panel & meter, and a larger service wire to the outside line (made the line connections to it myself)... it was great to have a nice new 200 amp service panel to replace the crappy 60 amp fuse system that was here when I moved in. On that project, I learned a lot with the help of a wiring book by the author REX CAWLEY (Taunton press) and a few electricians I consulted with, and yes I had an inspection for that one and it passed on the first go round... unfortunately I had to return the book to it's owner after that project...so here are my specific Q's:
1/ I have a square D QO 100 amp panel in the new garage... feed wire (4 AWG- 3 conductors and ground) is in an underground conduit, I am using a 100 amp breaker in my main panel at the house. I would like to confirm that the ground and neutral buses are separate in the subpanel? and the way to do that with the QO panel is you have to remove the ground bus from the bar it's attached to (next to the neutral bus) and attach it to the inside of the panel box?
2/ basically I want to confirm that I am grounding everything correctly: the subpanel feed ground will go to the ground bus (actually there are two of these, one has outlets for larger wires), and this will also be where the conductor for the 2 ground rods outside the garage will tie in? thereby all grounds will be connected to each other, bonded to the panel case and also back to the ground at the main panel in the house thru the feed wire ground?
3/ the neutral bus in the subpanel is to be isolated from the ground, which means that you do not install the green screw that would normally be put in to bond the neutral to the panel case?
I appreciate any and all feedback on the grounding Q's.
Ground the pannel
you need to use A ground bar connected to the panel this is were you connect the outside ground wires. the neutral bar is where you hook your sub feed ground.
A quick question. Is that 4 gauge copper or aluminum?
And pictures would also really help us guide you so we can look at what is going on?
You are adding two ground rods to the sub panel that are separate from the main panel correct?
Also what type of wire are you using. Because 4 gauge can vary depending on the insulation type. And whether it's AL or CU
#4 CU is not rated for 100A in this situation. You would either need to put the #4 on a 90A breaker, or install #3 CU.
That's if he is using CU
You do not remove any of the neutral bars. You buy an auxilary ground bar and add it where the raised bumps in the back of the panel are.
to answer your inquiries, RROLLESTON... I am using a 4 awg aluminum feeder, and using #6 bare copper to connect the two outside ground rods. and yes, the 2 copper ground rods referred to are going in outside the garage, I am using the same setup (8-10 ft. apart, connected with a continuous wire) as I have over at the house. I'll try to get a photo to put up... basically I wanted to know where the ground and neutral wires go in the new subpanel... neutral is on the neutral bus (there is a connector in place), and the ground? I thought the ground from the feeder should go to the ground bus, but perhaps I was wrong on this? thanks for the help... Ben
You will have to add a ground bar and then bring down the breaker in your main panel down to 70 amps for that size and type of wire.
Grounds go on the new ground bar you add and the neutrals go on the existing neutral bar.
actually the feed wire is...
Sorry I was mistaken...
The feed wire I am using is 2 awg aluminum. it reads on the casing: SER TYPE XHHW2, and 3 CDR AWG 2 - 1 CDR AWG 4... it has been a while since I went to buy all the materials for the electrical installation, guess I had been thinking that it said "4 awg" on it somewhere but that's just the ground part. I guess this wire has a #4 ground and the hots and neutral are 2's. I hope that clears up the wire issue and negates your recommendation to lower the breaker to 70 amps, this is actually a woodworking shop and I'll need the 100 amps if possible. and I understand what the QO panel needs to be a subpanel, thanks to someone's response... I need to purchase a separate ground bus... just thought like other panels there would be a way to convert without buying something extra. I was trying to remove the buses needed for neutral (there are 4 small ones stacked next to each other) but instead I'll go out and buy the necessary separate ground bus to install in the box... thanks all. YOUr suggestions are appreciated.
and a thank you to...
Thanks for the suggestion, JIM PORT. that's just what I needed to know... thank you.
SER is not rated for underground use. And the 2 gauge AL would have to be on a 90 amp breaker.
slow down.

Mom Fights, Runs Over
A Baytown mother of two fought off a man hidden in her van, who threatened her with a knife as she drove.
Dorothy Baker had her 2-year-old and 5-year-old sons with her as she drove through Baytown to return a movie Friday. When she got back in her van and asked her 5-year-old to join her up front, a man grabbed him from the third row of her van and held him back.
Ismael Martinez demanded $200 from Baker. She told him she didn't have it. That's when Martinez attempted to attack her. Baker was still driving as they struggled.
Martinez bit her and she managed to elbow him, landing him in her passenger seat. She then called 9-1-1.
Martinez jumped out and tried to run away. Baker hit him with her van, running over him. He was taken by medical chopper to a local area hospital and is expected to survive.
Baytown Police say Martinez could face charges of aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

Sunday morning service was opened with music and songs, prayer requests and prayer, then more hymns and the pledge to the American Flag.
Brother Roberts brought the message from Psalms 33:12, "America."
Sunday evening was our Freedom Celebration at Walnut Grove Church. A large crowd enjoyed the bountiful supply of wonderful food, visiting with everyone, games for the kids, popcorn, snowcones, the beautiful music and then the large display of fireworks.
I went to Mansfield one day with Bevy Moore and we stopped and visited with my mom, Nora Hunsaker and Lee Williams.
One day Norman Rosseau brought us a small mess of fresh green beans and some cucumbers. I cooked the beans with some new potatoes that Delmar had growing in the yard. Another day, Violet Blakey brought us a large bag of fresh green beans and Beth Stafford and I snapped them for cooking. This morning, we woke up to find several bags of frozen peaches on our front porch. We appreciate it Connie Burris. I sure appreciate the good friends and family who bring us fresh garden stuff. Now I am cooking some of the frozen fruit to make butter…yummy with homemade biscuits and butter.
Those visiting us this week were Keith and Donna Bannister, Bevy Moore, Beth Stafford, Johnathon Snelson, Roy Johnson, Michelle Engelhart, Darrell Logan who put shingles on the porch roof for Delmar.
Delmar and I attended the celebration at Heart of the Ozarks. It was fun and had lots of activities going on including good music, exhibits , drawings (which I won one,) lots of people visiting, buying food and crafts, campaigning, fishing, games and etc.
Until next week, I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July. Please remember that freedom is not free.

SHREVEPORT, La. – Leading from start to finish in their second game in less than a week, East Texas Baptist University pulled away for an 11-point win over Centenary College, 71-59. It was ETBU's first win of the season as they prepare for the start of American Southwest Conference play on Tuesday in Longview vs. LeTourneau.
Leading the men's basketball team with his second consecutive double-double was Justin Felicia with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Erby Thompson added 10 points hitting two three-pointers. Monty Gray finished with nine points and five assists. Centenary's Jonathan Blount led all scorers with 27 points.
The entire first half was close but ETBU never gave up the lead. Gray swooshed home a three-pointer just over two minutes into the game for the 3-0 lead. Centenary tied the game at nine at the 15:15 mark but ETBU added an 8-3 run to take a five-point lead, 17-12, with 12:09 left on a Jamil Samuel jumper. Cutting the lead to two with 4:57 on the clock, Centenary tied the game at 27 by the 4:04 mark.
Ahnre Gray completed an 'and-1' shot to give ETBU a three-point lead, 30-27, thirty seconds later but Centenary was within one, twice in the last two minutes. C.J. Jones put ETBU up by four, 35-31, with under 30 seconds to play as Centenary pulled within two at the half on a Blount lay up.
ETBU jumped out to an eight-point lead, 41-33, in the first three minutes of the second half as Gray laid in a shot. Thompson hit back-to-back buckets with a three-pointer (15:53) and a layup (15:13) in just 40 seconds as ETBU took an 11-point lead, 46-35. Thompson hit his second three-pointer in just over a minute and a half as ETBU moved ahead by 12-points, 49-37, at the 14:13 mark.
By the 11:20 mark, Samuel gave ETBU a 15-point lead on a layup. Neither team scored a point in the next two minutes until Centenary's Donovan Williams hit a free throw. Kerry McClahan gave ETBU their largest lead of 16 points, 56-40, with 8:53 left in the game on a lay up. Centenary fought back and cut the lead to eight, 58-50, with just under five minutes to play. ETBU played through the Centenary run and responded with a 7-0 run pushing the lead back to 15, 65-50, in just under two minutes. Centenary came within just 11 points in the final three minutes as ETBU moved forward with their first win of the year.
Shooting 45% from the floor, ETBU made 35% of their three-point shots and 64% of their free throws. They held Centenary to 35% shooting from the floor, 36% from beyond the arc and 78% from the line. ETBU also out rebounded Centenary 42-33, and both teams had 12 turnovers.
ETBU travels to Longview, Texas, for their American Southwest Conference opener on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. against LeTourneau.
