Create your Westerosi house

Seat: Bloodbear peak
Sigil: a red bear on black with a diagonal grey strip across the shield.
Words: Wake us and know our wrath.
Location: A peak on Skagos where there is a large forest with many large, aggressive bears.
Weapon: A large ax called the Grim, the blade is made of a mysterious black metal that is only used by House Thane, the shaft is made of weirwood The Grim was said to have been wielded by the founder of the house, Cregan Thane, who was know as The Grim. It is said that his spirt is housed inside the ax and possess any Thane who wields it. Also a Warhammer called Starksbane and is made the same way as The Grim.
Sworn to House Stark
House History: although they aren't wealthy, the Thanes are a very powerful house militarily. Their keep, which, while not large, is a almost impenetrable fortress with only one way in and out. It got its name due to the rumor that the bears who live on Bloodbear Peak were so large and aggressive because they were inhabited by the souls of dead Thanes. This comes from the Thane tradition of leaving the dead out for the bears to eat, thus also why they are called bloodbears. Oddly enough the bears are only aggressive to outsiders, which has led to some speculation that the Thanes may be wargs. When Skagos rebelled the Thanes were some of the first to take the field, and it is said that a Thane even struck a blow that killed on of the Starks who had some to put down the rebellion which is why the warhammer is called Starksbane. It was said that Lord Cregan Thane (the founder) rode a bloodbear into combat.

Seriously right?! I was just thinking "wow, this is the dorkiest (how do you even spell that?) thread I've ever read". On the other hand, I am a huge dork as well so this is also the coolest thread I've ever read. Lol:) Im so pissed though! I can't even decide on a house name yet. Grrrr.... too many to chose from. These are all really great though! You guys all have awesome ideas.....
How dare you say this is the dorkiest thread you've ever read! But on the other hand, thank you for saying this is the coolest thread. You're house weapon symbolic for "Taena's Curves?" Could be one of those Dothraki swords that are curved...

Founder: Arhiemark Altamyr of Andal hills.
Sigil: A crimson eagle on grey background sitting on a chopped weirwood with its wings opened up as if ready to fly crowned under 7 stars.
Castle: Wavecrusher (Atop a great rock in the southern part of Shipbreaker bay in the same peninsula that mistwood lies)
House Moto: Shield of the Weak.
House Unoffocial Words: Justice be Served.
Sworn: Baratheon of Storms End, then to Lord Renly and currently holding for King Stannis.
House Weapon: Justice. A pollaxe forged of Valyrian steel and the shaft itself made of Heartwood that was chopped down in the Stormlands with the coming of the Andals.
House history : House Altamyr descents from the first Andal warriors that invaded Westeros 8 thousands years ago. The house was founded by Archiemark the Tall, cousin to the first Andal Stormking that helped in the capture of Storms end when the Andals invaded. House Altamyr saw a division many years ago and a cadet branch was created (The Altamyrs of the Vale), A knightly house that died off before the coming of the Dragon Kings. House Altamyrs seat is Wavecrusher a modest stronghold build on atop a rock of the Shipbreaker Bay. When the last Stormking was killed by Orys Baratheon the Altamyrs kept fighting and mounting unrest for a generation or two and was one of the first houses to support the faith millitant uprising against the Targaryens.
But although the initial hostility against house Baratheon the Altamyrs slowly came to be one of the most loyal of the Shipbreaker houses. At the battle of Summerhall Lord Nico of house Altamyr killed Lord Fell using the family heirloom Justice. For their loyalty in the Baratheon cause lord Renly awarded the Altamyrs with an extension to their lands when he became lord of Storms End. In the War of the Five Kings House Altamyr initialy sided with Lord Renly but after his death sided with King Stannis.
Finaly at the battle of Blackwater Rush Lord Nico and his firstborn Harbert were killed when Tywin Lannister attacked on the rear, leaving only young Erik Altamyr a boy of 17 and newly made knight, fleeing only with his life and the pollaxe Justice along with the remaining men of King Stannis to acompanny him as far as the Wall....

Sigil: Two golden fields divided by a river, connected by a black bridge
Colours: Black and Gold
House words: Foundations of Glory
Castle: The High Arches
Location: The top right tip of the Dornish Marches, just off the Kingsroad
Sworn to: House Baratheon
Ancestral weapon: Moondaughter - a longsword with a milk-white blade, of an unknown alloy.
History: The lands are small but fertile, and there was found to be plenty of gold under the mountain when the first Lord Blackbridge started mining the areas under his control. Legend goes that the first lord built his castle on the mountainside after having been given the lands and the blade Moondaughter as reward and recompense when he knocked down his own hall to hastily build a bridge across the Wendwater to allow one of the first Storm Kings to escape pursuit from enemies from the Riverlands, who managed to kill two of the lord's sons with arrows.
The lands are relatively densley populated due to the wealth of the area, meaning the current Lord can call to arms at least a thousand foot and horse, possibly much more.
Some theorize that the blade Moondaughter contains Valyrian Steel due to the uncommen sharpness of the sword, while there are those who claim that this is just an empty boast and point to the pure whiteness of the blade as evidence. The precise composition of the alloy is a closely guarded secret.

Sigil: an unarmed man (Turner) with a soldier pointing a sword at his throat.
House words: We're your men.
Unofficial motto: Piss on Honour
Castle: The Coat (Often refered to as "Turncoats Point", some times even a Turner will accidently call his castle this.)
Weapon: Silver tounge, a dagger that the Turners claim is made from Valyrian Steel, although no one really believes it is.
The Turners are not known for their skills on the battlefield, in fact the only skill they are known for is talking their way out of trouble. The turners have managed to stick around for so long by changing loyalty a number of times. The larger houses haven't taken much notice of them so are unaware how untrust worthly they are.
The most famous instence of the turns doing what they do best (Turning their coats) is when they changed their loyalty to the Lannisters and hired a builder named Bran (who the Starks like to make clear was NOT Bran the Builder) to physically move The Coat closer to Casterly Rock.

Sigil: A White Moon on black
Castle: Arlathal - Located in the mountains northeast of Long Lake. Established during the Long Night as a stronghold for refugees
House Moto: Ever Vigilant
Sworn: House Stark. Very few took arms for Robb Stark
House Bow: God's Glare. A weirwood longbow. Held by the head of the house.

House name: Lorkley
Sigil: Five drops of blood at the corners and center of a silver X, over a blue field
Motto: We Shall Prevail
Unofficial Motto: None
House Weapon: None. House Lorkton once owned a Valyrian steel sword named Dripper, but it was lost over two centuries ago when the heir of the House was slain by a noble knight from House Qorgyle, who took the sword and carried it back to Dorne.
Castles: Falantine (House Lorkton and seat of House Lorkley), Silverstone (House Marley)
Location: Southeastern region of the Reach, near the Red Mountains
Sworn to: House Tyrell
House Lorkley was born of the union of two noble Houses of the Reach, Houses Lorkton and Marley, an event that took place over a century before Aegon I conquered Westeros. Having suffered from Dornish raids that were as numerous as they were vicious over the previous half century, the two Houses eventually found themselves whittled down to near extinction. House Lorkton had only a single male heir for the main bloodline, while the neighboring House Marley simultaneously only had a female heir left. Other Houses of the Reach offered to have a family member marry one or the other heir and "take over the defense of the Reach against the Dornish scum" essentially absorbing the stricken House into their own. House Florent was especially vocal with its offers, going so far as to send a thousand troops into the Marley lands as "a gesture of our willingness to protect the lands and smallfolk of the House."
Unwilling to let their Houses' proud histories vanish completely, Lord Mervin Lorkton and Lady Shanta Marley petitioned King Garth Greenhand the Ninth for permission to marry and by doing so merge their two Houses into a single one. King Garth granted their request, some say as much to foil the Florents as out of respect for the two Houses, both longstanding supporters of the Gardeners. Soon thereafter, Houses Lorkton and Marley became House Lorkley, and the two newlyweds eventually gave birth to a dynasty that lasts to this day. Their sigils were also merged, with the blood drops of the Lorktons laid over the silvery X of the Marleys.
As can be imagined, the contemporary Lorkleys hate everything and everyone from Dorne. If they believe they can get away with it, its nobles and servants will take every opportunity to inconvenience, hurt, or even kill Dornishmen they meet. On several occasions, a Lorkley noble champion has fought on behalf of a servant who had been caught perpetrating a crime against someone from Dorne. The Lorkleys reserve their greatest hatred for House Qorgyle, who return the sentiment in full. Many Dornishmen firmly believe that the death of Lord Ambrej Qorgyle while he was a captive of King Daeron during the Conquest of Dorne was due to a Lorkley servant poisoning his food.

Founder: Florence Whiteblood
Sigil: A shiny white light in a dark forest
Official words: The Light that Guides
Unofficial words: Strike and Burn
Castle: The Shining White
Location: 25 miles north of the fist of the first men
Weapon: Sorrow: a twohanded obsidian broadsword
History: According to legends House Whiteblood got its name because the founder (Florence Whiteblood) was born an albino. People thought that the constant exposure to cold and ice had frozen his blood in his mothers womb and that this was the reason for his white skin and hair.
House Whiteblood was a minor house when the others came for the first time and destroyed almost entire Westeros. The house suffered great losses and the Others killed Florences wife and 4 of his children, together with a big part of his people. After the Others were defeated by Azhor Ahai and Lightbringer Florence had trouble adjusting to the new situations and he hungered for revenge. He could not grow over the grief for his wife and children and swore to avenge them. Togethet with his surviving son Elfangle he rallied what was left from his people and the people of the other northern houses and began an expedition in the frozen lands to hunt down the last Others. Once they all realised that a wall was build to protect the north of Westeros they decided to stay north of the wall and became a watchfull eye. During the decennia that followed they engaged themslves with wildlings to assure offspring. Whenever a new plague of Others would rise they were the first protection and in the time that followed they managed to keep the Others at bay.
There are almost no recordings of the Whiteblood bloodline south of the wall and they are forgotten by most of the maesters of the citadel. In the periods shortly after their migration messengers were send to the south quite often but as time passed these visits became more rare and at some point they stopped all together. Since then only one Whiteblood has crossed the wall. In the year of Roberts Rebellion the last lord of The Shining White, Andris Whiteblood, came to Castle Black to warn the Night Watch of a new invasion by the Others. But because nobody knew who he was they believed him to be a wildling and he was killed. And with him died the line of the Whitebloods.

Sigil: a bluebird perched atop a white human skull, on a field of light brown
Motto: Deadly is our Song
Seat: Enara's Heart
Location: the hills of the Westerlands
House Sword: the Wyndwrights possess the remnants of Stranger's Voice, a longsword of black crystal given to an ancestor of the Wyndwrights thousands of years ago by the Stranger himself, as a reward for slaying the Seven Great Demons of Andalos. The blade was broken into seven pieces when the warrior Martyn Wyndwright was killed by a direwolf during the invasion of Westeros.
History: A family descended mainly from the Andals, the Wyndwrights were a small house in the Westerlands until four hundred years ago, when the King of the Rock granted Alenarr Wyndwright lands and lordship. Alenarr was a merchant who took up arms against the ironborn after they raided his lands and raped and murdered his wife Orelya and his daughter Enara. In his search for vengeance, he and his men killed more than a thousand reavers, running them out of the Westerlands for generations. Upon returning home he built a beautiful castle of white stone above a waterfall, as a monument to the family he had lost. He named it Enara's Heart, and upon its completion, it is said that he threw himself from the top of the falls. His younger brother Damen inherited the castle after his brother's death.
Is that cool at all? I can't tell anymore.

Motto: We remember.
Location: In the western Wolfswood
House Sword: A long, thin, ancient obsidian blade with a handle of weirwood--A gift from the children of the forest, spellforged so as not to shatter.
The house is very small and relatively unknown, and reclusive in a manner not unlike the Reeds. They keep to their forest, and tend to be reserved and scholarly. Their heirs aren't taught in the traditional sword-fighting techniques of the knights, but rather in a more agile, fencing type of swordplay that could be compared in some respects to water dancing.

I didn't want to go the "how do you mix glass and iron route" but i also didn't want another friggin' valyrian steel sword. So I just said 'lol, it's magic.'
and... there might be some children of the forest left. I feel like GRRM wants us to believe they're out there, some where, in some shape or form. I doubt there are any substantial numbers, though.

9 Weeks to go...struggling with plan
Posted 12 February 2012 - 07:49 PM
My original plan (starting about 12 weeks out from the exam) was to quickly breeze through the MERM to recall topics and get into practice tests/problems ASAP. However, over the last 3 weeks, I have only perused the Fluids and Thermo sections in the MERM and reviewed the accompanying practice probs (worked a few, but mostly read through the probs and their solutions). I'm starting to get nervous because I feel like I'm moving too slow...like maybe I'm spending too much time reviewing the sections and I need to move quicker to get to the problems (although a lot of the MERM problems take a long time to work) and practice tests. I think I'm identifying things I recall from college (5 yrs ago) and telling myself, "Oh yeah, I remember that...I should probably re-learn it." This turns into an in-depth experience that makes me question what I'm doing.
So, based on your guys' test experience, what should I do from now on? Should I continue to breeze the chapters, just quicker and for tabbing purposes? I know, from looking around on the board, that tabbing and doing lots of problems will be key, so should I basically stop "page turning" and just take the practice exams and go back and review where I have problems? A lot of my coworkers, who have passed the exam, have recommended this approach (they claim the MERM is too overwhelming and will make you feel unconfident). I saw on another thread that Trev skimmed the sections not in the topic of T/F, worked easier problems on HVAC/MD, and worked in-depth thermo, fluids, power, etc. I think this might be a good plan. My fear is spending too much time reading/skimming the chapters and then not having enough time to get really good at the practice tests. But I also don't want to just start taking the practice tests and feel like I'm having to take 1/2 hr per problem to figure it out. Maybe that's not bad the first time through???
I'm averaging about 8 hrs a week so far (hard to put in more than a couple hrs a few weeknights and 2-4 hrs on the weekend), but I'm going to ramp that up, as I know I need to.
Thanks for the help everyone.

9 weeks is still sufficient time left to complete your review. But don't delay too much. I took the Mechanical MD PE last October, graduated from college in 2005.
Here are some tips:
1. Study each weeknight 2-3 hours, aim to get through at least one chapter in the MERM per night, and do the practice MERM problems the following weeknight for that chapter.
2. Weekends study a total of 12-16 hours.
3. Use the study schedule given in the Preface or Introduction of the MERM text book. Hit those key chapters in the schedule table.
4. Top goal: finish the MERM book 1.5 week before the exam.
5. Take the practice NCEES exam the Sunday before the exam.
6. Don't skip the MD chapters in MERM, you will have at least 10-12 questions from it in the morning section.
7. Don't slow down your pace of studying but take breaks necessary to give your mind a break. Skipping a day or so during the week can be okay.
8. In my opinion the NCEES sample exams are a little easier than the actual test i took. So rely a little bit more on the MERM practice problems.
9. Don't read the problem/solution in the MERM practice book, you have to do at least a handful of problems from each section to get the basic idea of each section.
Good Luck!!

Thanks aneesu786 and chemicalpe. I really appreciate it. I started studying about 3 weeks ago, thought I had a good plan going in, but after a few weeks, I think I need to reorganize my thoughts. You outline some very good pointers. By "aim to get through at least one chapter per night," do you mean one topic (i.e. Fluids, Power Cycles) or do you mean one chapter within a topic (i.e. Chapter 14)? I have been looking at the % breakdown for the exam and the rough schedule in the front of the MERM. This has been the main reason I started with Fluids and Thermo.
To clarify, you solely reviewed the MERM sections and practice problems until 1.5 weeks before the exam? Then you took the NCEES exam for the first time on the Sunday before the real exam? Did that allow you much time to review after and retake? My interpretation of most people's advice was to take the practice exams a few times before the actual test day. With a couple (well, at least one, I guess) simulated test days to condition yourself for the real thing.
Posted 12 February 2012 - 10:53 PM
I've already found there are some ways to do the prob differently/easier than the MERM solution. If I come up with a different path to an answer in my head, I'll do the actual work to see if I come up with the same answer to verify if I had been thinking about it correctly.

As mentioned above most need to devote more time than you currently are.
Eight hours during the weekdays is good but a solid 8 hours each weekend might make the differance, even go to the library if things at home are distracting.
The key is to work a ton of problems and learn your referances like the back of hand.
If you run into a problem that you dont understand because you dont remember that is the time to brush up.
You need to develope the skill of working these problems quickly and efficiently.
You should be dreaming about units and conversions - know them off the top of head and you just use the index in the front of the merm for confirmation.
Sit down in four clips and practice taking the tests - you can take the same MERM tests, SMS test and NCEES over and over.
Good luck!

1. I studied 1 chapter (i.e. chapter 14) per night, which roughly took me 2-3 hours to read it. Then the following night I would do the practice problems for chapter 14.
2. Personally (no offense) I think you are still taking the easy way out on the practice problems. You have to physically do it, work out the problem with a pencil/paper/calculator before heading to the solutions. force yourself to do at least a handful of these problems in each chapter. This will seriously built your confidence level. It will highlight how easily one makes silly mistakes and trains you to understand and work the problem. No pain no gain!
3. I did the T/F sections in MERM initially in my review. Then went through the MD chapters. Then came back to review the T/F and then finally reviewed the MD problems once more in the MERM. I could do the second iteration of review, because I had grasped the ideas very well in my first iteration.
4. You can't just read chapters without doing problems. Get this mantra down.... read, do problems, read, do problems.... this is not like cramming for the finals in college.
5. I reviewed MERM and Shigley up till a week before the exam. Plus I had some other MD review material from a course i had taken 3 years ago.
6. I felt confident with taking the NCEES practice exam once under time constraint. Remember, my confidence level was very high since my review was going so well. The night before the exam I felt really really good about the exam, again great review helped. I admit i didn't ace the exam, but I felt like I passed it when I left the exam site.
Your confidence needs to be at its highest. Pump yourself up every night or else you will get drained and burned out.
The exam is just as much of a psychological test as it is a skill test. You got to push yourself to the max, anything less and you are likely to fail
Only downside of studying this much is that even after the exam is done, I have an itch to study and do problems, I am in withdrawal, believe it or not. So I have started to study for the GMATs, which is a completely different kind of beast.

Couple of quick clarity questions...Tim, you said in "four clips" to take the practice exam. Do you mean sit down and take it in 4 weeks, with about 4 weeks until exam day? Or did you mean, over the course of 4 days take the practice test (as in, untimed)?
aneesu, no worries...no offense taken. I completely agree with you that I'm not putting in the time that I need to be. Further, the time I am putting in isn't very efficient. After 8-10 hrs of work, I'm basically cross eyed trying to review the material. So, I'll admit, I'm really not absorbing much as I'm going through the material. I need to buck up and really focus as I'm going through it to learn.
So...I think my plan (for the next couple weeks anyway) is to keep reviewing the sections and doing practice problems. Then step into the practice tests in a couple weeks hopefully....use that as an indicator of what I need to focus more on and go back and redo practice problems on.

You need to finish about 2-3 weeks early and then plan on just working practice problems, lots and lots of practice problems. While working the problems this is when I really started tabbing my reference materials heavily.
My suggestion, get fast on the problems, to the point where you can work some of them in less than a couple of minutes.
Posted 14 February 2012 - 06:51 PM
This will help you adjust your approach to this exam and get you used to taking the exam under timed constraints!
My first attempt I burned thru the morning in 3.5 hours, but found myself so slow in the afternoon. After three hours I had only around 10 solved.
My second time taking the test I was able to breeze thru the morning in 2 hours and the afternoon in 3.
As mentioned above it is partially mental! I remember feeling like someone kicked me in gut when I had no clue how to approach the first few problems on the afternoon section!
Keep your head up and good luck
Posted 14 February 2012 - 09:33 PM
Tim...I gotta ask, what did you do differently to prepare b/t your first and second attempts? Sounds like you killed it the second time around...
Posted 14 February 2012 - 10:41 PM
I studied for 2.5 to 3 months before the exam, not sure on the total number of hours (200-250 hours). I would take some weeknights off to hang out with friends and family.
As for the 1 hour questions, I really didn't spend 1 hour or more on them. If i couldn't get them within 10 min, then i knew my thought-process was wrong. Be realistic!!!
I bet you are slightly getting burned out right now, by the amount of posts that you have made. But don't worry, i see the tenacity within your words, you will most likely ramp it up pretty soon. The looming deadline will catch up with you.
Skip the math sections, but know how to work your sines and cosines...you will need them!
Some chapters you can knock off in a couple of hours. But all in all, i think i read the whole book, but didn't do all the problems for math section or the project management sections. i remember getting a question on the exam which was very detailed specific and could be answered only if you have read certain chapters in the book. So to be on the safe side read the whole MERM book attentively. To me 95% of the questions on the exam could be answered if you just took the MERM with you, as long as you knew where the information was in it.
The actual exam will have some very specific detail oriented questions, which requires a particular book or reference...e.g Mark's Handbook or Roark book of equation.
Posted 14 February 2012 - 11:26 PM
I took it in 2, 4 hour blocks, just like the real thing. Then I went back and went over each and every problem until I could do them very easily.
Then I worked the afternoon portions of the other disciplines (Machine Design, HVAC) this paid off big dividends along with problems from Lindeburg Sample Exam (ridiculously hard btw).
Then about a week before the test I retook the Sample Exam, and then I relaxed for a few days.

Thanks aneesu. I appreciate it. I'm not necessarily "burned out." In fact, I'm pretty damn anxious to get a good habit going. I've been posting a lot because I'm trying to get the best approach in my head, so each time I study, I know I'm not wasting time or questioning my approach. I should have gone through this when I thought about it originally...back in Nov/Dec. But, after trolling the forum, I thought I had a good plan. I think my plan now is similar...just involves more hours and a little more concrete in that I know I should be done with the text/problems by X week, etc. Back in Nov/Dec, I didn't even have a MERM, so I had no gauge on how long it would take to review the sections.
Thanks Kephart; very good info and comforting to hear. I'm now feeling good about reviewing the MERM sections and practice problems until the first week of March (a total of 8 weeks for me), where I'll start taking the practice exams and basically do what you outlined.
I know I've posted a lot and asked a lot of questions, but I feel pretty good about my approach now. Thank you everyone for your feedback. Very helpful. The first few weeks of reviewing the MERM were an eye opener and caught me off guard once I realized how much I wanted to accomplish and what time I had left. The biggest component being that I now realize 8 hrs/week is not enough to accomplish everything to be fully prepared.
Posted 15 February 2012 - 12:36 AM
I actually worked half days three weeks before the exam and spent every afternoon studying with my office door closed.
I am not a smart guy so this material came hard and for me it was just working as many problems as possible over and over and over.
I knew my referances so well that I actually wore the backing off the binder on each!
I had notes written every where on tips on how to solve problems (your allowed to write in the referance material in some states).
All I can say expose yourself to as many problems as possible and get a good feel for how long it will take to solve the problem just by looking at it!
For example, if your doing a power cycle problem and you have to work all around the cycle KNOW it is going to take 20 minutes!
Good luck!

I took the test last April which was 17 years after I graduated from school, so for me there were some areas that I needed to refresh myself on. What I found helpful was to take the practice NCEES test under timed conditions to help pinpoint the areas that I knew well and areas that I struggled on. The areas I knew well (mechanical design for instance) I really did not study further. Other areas such as HVAC I had to review again as I had not looked at this since college. I liked the post above about studying a couple hours a night and a good bit more on the weekends as well. I probably put in about 100 hours of studying in total and was able to pass.
Good luck.

What are some important and easily-overlooked points that should be in a programming-for-hire contract?
We recently had a learning experience as a client hiring a programming company: in the contract we signed, there was no mention of billing practices such as
- Minimum billable unit. A 5 minute phone call was billed as 1 hour.
- Division of work. If two contractors at the company worked on something in the same day they had their hours billed and rounded up separately.
- What kinds of things were billable. We were billed for them to "install Visio" even though we'd asked them to use it on our VPN-accessible terminal server).
We prefer learning from other people's experiences rather than our own, thus hope to get the community's ideas about other important points we might be missing.
I am interested in both sides of the coin as I have been and will again be a contract programmer myself, even though at this time I'm thinking of it more for my company's hiring needs. So points important for both the client and the contractor are welcome.

Maclaren Introduces Dylan Candy Bar Stroller
Maclaren's Latest Collaboration Is Its Sweetest Yet
Like us on Facebook
With a striped hood, candy-adorned seat liner, and candy-print rain cover, the bright buggy joins a long line of fun themes produced by the stroller giant, including the Beatles-themed Yellow Submarine stroller introduced last year. The umbrella buggy will be sold exclusively at Maclaren showrooms and Dylan Candy Bar locations beginning this month, meaning it's only a matter of time before tots start screaming, "I want candy!"
What do you think of the new buggy?

DNA Polymerase I catalyzes the template-directed polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in a 5´→3´ direction. DNA Polymerase I possesses a 3´→5´ exonuclease activity or "proofreading" function, which lowers the error rate during DNA replication, and also contains a 5´→3´ exonuclease activity, which enables the enzyme to replace nucleotides in the growing strand of DNA by nick translation. The enzyme, purified from recombinant E. coli, is capable of catalyzing de novo synthesis of synthetic homopolymers and provides a convenient method for the preparation of a variety of defined DNA substrates.

A question and its answer should be applicable to a wide audience, and not be limited to small section in time. At the same time, duplicate questions are discouraged.
Both of these lend themselves to the notion that answers should be maintained and updated, preventing the need for the question being asked again. In an ideal world, this would be done by the community, but most of the time, aside from the odd error correction, answers are largely maintained by their author -- they have the most to gain from an upvoted answer, after all.
At the same time, if an author edits their post 12 or more times, it is automatically turned into a "Community Wiki", and they lose any reputation they've earned (or will earn), which (in turn) surely discourages authors from maintaining their answers for future readers.
Hence the dichotomy I wish to flag for attention. If we want authors to take an active interest in maintaining their answers, isn't this sending a mixed signal?
Community Wiki posts clearly have their place, but are we discouraging maintenance? And if so, is that what we want?
Unfortunately I don't have a proposal, I'm merely floating this for discussion.

Today's update, QUAKE LIVE Premium Pak 5, introduces 3 new Premium Arenas to QUAKE LIVE, 2 Holiday Arenas, and new Premium Duel Scoreboards.
Premium Maps Added:
- Double Impact (CTF):"Double Impact" comes to us from Pawel "ShadoW" Chrapka, who originally made a variant of the map for the Quake 2 engine based project Quake2World. This is his third map in QUAKE LIVE, previously releasing "Leviathan" and "Dreadful Place." Double Impact features two large winding bases with many routes in and out. It's most distinctive features are a disconnected room in the middle only accessible via teleporter that holds a Red Armor, and a set of spikes near the top flag room entrance that trap anyone inside, forcing them out into the flag room.
- Overlord (Terra CTF):Based on Team Arena's most popular terrain map, "Overlord" brings us back the battle between two feuding castles. Newly renovated and reinforced, two gothic castles lie at either end of a mountain pass surrounded by the walls of a green valley. Players can speed through the valley, picking up a multitude of items, powerups, and holdables. When you grow tired of enemies stealing your flag and speeding out, use the mountainsides to make sure none shall pass, or grab our new jetpack-style Flight holdable and rain down sweet flaming revenge from the 3rd dimension.
- Tornado (TDM/CA/FT):Holiday Maps Added:Another beautiful arena from the designer of "Hektik", comes the new level "Tornado", forecast to become a modern day classic. Tornado features three main areas. The main room consists of two large curved walkways with a Megahealth at the bottom. The Battle Suit room is reminiscent of "The Bad Place" from QuakeWorld, with a walkway built over a lava pool, causing searing pain to those who suffer a little too much knockback. Finally, the Quad Damage room is flanked by a small pool of water, punishing players trying to take a shortcut to the Quad. In a whirlwind of swooping passageways themed in warm and cool, Tornado brings fast paced action that is bound to lift you out of your seat.
Ho, ho, ho! The holidays are upon us, and Santa has brought each of you a special present! For the next three weeks enjoy our Holiday Arenas, including free Freeze Tag on Winter's Edge, and earn this season's holiday award - "Winter Nights". During this time, Santa himself will be a playable character model on all servers (selectable within the in-game player model menus).
- Silent Night (Terra CTF):Back by popular demand is "Silent Night", a holiday-themed remake of the popular arena "Distant Screams" from Team Arena. A vast mountainous winter wonderland, explore Silent Night's tundra landscape alongside eleven teammates for some chilling 12v12 Capture the Flag combat.
- Winter's Edge (FFA/FT):Web Updates:Hailed by many as the greatest deathmatch map in Quake 2, "The Edge" makes a holiday appearance in Quake Live as "Winter's Edge". All players now have a chance to enjoy this timeless classic in both Free for All and Freeze Tag.
- Clan Profiles - Click on a person's clan tag from their profile page to view the clan's basic information and roster. This section will be further expanded in future updates, and will eventually also handle clan management.
- New awards added for DreamHack Winter 2010, MSI Fnatic Beat-IT, and the Winter Holiday 2010.
- Spawn Protection is currently being forced off from all pro-user launched servers. The option has been removed until we address the outstanding issue/exploit.
Code Updates:
- New Premium Duel Scoreboards - Available to Premium users online, and all players in offline bot matches, the first of our new Premium Scoreboards brings a wide range of match stat data to the in-game experience including per-weapon accuracy, damage, and frags, item pick-up tallies, average item pick-up times.
- Added Santa model for use during the holidays, selectable within the in-game player model menus.
- IGA ad system fixes and improvements.
- Lightning styles now use lightmapped quality effects, regardless of r_vertexlight value.
- Added r_mapOverbrightCap (Default 255, <0-255>): Allows you to cap the brightness of surfaces brightened by r_mapOverbrightBits (Most useful when using high values of r_mapOverBrightBits; vid_restart required after a value change).
Map Updates:
- Asylum, Japanese Castles, House of Decay, Siberia, Trinity, and Quarantine: These maps have had lighting adjusted while in Vertex Lighting mode.
- Battleforged: Removed grenade ammo in TDM
- Japanese Castles: Fixed ad-wallhack-bug
- Purgatory: Swapped RG/SG placements
- Retribution: Added anti-camping measures for the portal room in CA, and fixed nonsolid metal supports
- Solid: Replaced CG with LG in non-FFA gametypes
- Space CTF: Fixed upper ledges so that you no longer step over them.

Comments about El Dorado Vintage Hand-Tooled Leather Guitar Strap:
This is a nice strap, don't get me wrong, but I feel its way overpriced, for what it is. The hardware was all tarnished and blue, and is very thin, cheap feeling metal. I just feel like, for as much as it costs, it should have had A LOT nicer hardware. All the leather seems to be nice quality, and well stitched, I decided to keep it, but I would NOT pay that much for another one.
Best Uses
Comments about El Dorado Vintage Hand-Tooled Leather Guitar Strap:
I used to purchase Gibson "Switchblade" Straps when I had the extra money over a standard Levys, both of which are good straps in their own right. I finally broke down and bought an "El Dorado" brand guitar strap as they are not to much more than the Gibson "Switchblade". It not only exceeds the comfort of the Gibson by a Country Mile, but I believe this strap can really last a lifetime. I'll be buying another as soon as I can. An added plus is, it's made in CA, USA.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Jon Bon Jovi took a break from his worldwide concerts to engage in a different kind of tour — listening to the concerns of young people across the United States.
The rocker visited a youth services center in New Jersey's largest city on Monday as the final stop on a "listening tour with disengaged youth," which previously made stops in New Orleans, Atlanta and Houston.
The initiative is part of the New Jersey native's role as a member of the White House Council for Community Solutions, which is looking at successful youth programs that can be replicated.
"I'm a big believer in the youth," Bon Jovi said. "And this was an opportunity to be heard, while I was listening."
The council plans to report its findings and recommendations to the Obama administration, which cites the statistic that less than half of young Americans have the education, skill and training to compete in the workforce by age 25.
Participants in the Newark session told Bon Jovi that jobs, a lack of mentors for young people and bullying were among their top concerns.

Video: Student Suspended for Tweet
Video: West Seneca School Defends Student Suspension for Tweet
WEST SENECA, N.Y. -- A senior at West Seneca East High School has been suspended for sending out a tweet outside of classtime about a teacher. School administrators call the punishment fair.
Brandon Guzda is an athlete and honor society student, but he's suspended for five days because of something he wrote on Twitter.
"I put a swear word and then the teacher's name and then I wrote #freedomofspeech," said Guzda.
He says it was written in frustration after a school hockey game that he attended.
"I was cheering for my team and I jumped on the boards, the glass, cheering on an exciting play."
West Seneca East High School Principal tells 2 On Your Side's Claudine Ewing that Brandon and a few other students were misbehaving at the game. "It was reported that inappropriate language was being used, inappropriate behavior, climbing on the glass, some students throwing things onto the ice creating safety concerns," said Jonathan Cervoni. A police officer was on hand to help escort the students out of the facility.
It was a few days later when Brandon's mom received a letter indicating that Brandon was being suspended. The reason: "disrupting the educational process through the inappropriate comments about a teacher on Twitter."
Both Brandon and his mom believe the suspension was harsh. He says it's all about freedom of speech, so he started a petition and already over 200 students have signed it.
Cervoni said "some people may refer to that tweet as threatening as intimidating. Some could refer to it as sexual in nature," and as the principal he took action to ensure the safety and welfare of students and staff.
According to other experts in education, just about any school could penalize a student for what Guzda did, if it thought it was serious enough. The school may not have a social media policy, but it probably has an "Acceptable Use Policy" and a "Code of Conduct," and all schools need to follow the "Dignity for All Students" law.
"So whether it's something that occurs online or something that occurs at home on the weekends, if anything related to off campus behavior is brought into the school in some way to cause a disruption to the school environment that's reachable," said JoAnn Balazs, the management director at Erie 1 BOCES.
What may be different among schools is whether students can post on social media on school grounds. For example, in Niagara Falls City Schools, staff and students can't use social media in the classroom. In Williamsville, Facebook is blocked for staff and students. However, they can use Twitter and YouTube. Plus each incident on social media could vary.
"It depends on how serious it is and it depends on whether law enforcement is involved whether the courts are involved," said Ralph Hernandez, the vice president of executive affairs for Buffalo Public Schools.

Let me know how it goes. I am thinking of doing one too. I just need more stable work, so I can afford a few more parts. I need replacement PSU's, CPU's, and HDD's before I start, but I can have a 6 node cluster.
[quote author=Slave Copy link=board=3;threadid=8128;start=0#msg74045 date=1069126170]
Why not make a cluster? May improve things a bit.
Yeah, that's what I'm exactly thinking .... Even 4 nodes cluster would make it good.

Will do. But the earliest going to be the beginning of next year since I'm in the process of moving. With all that packing and unpacking around Christmas time would leave me no time for my computing stuff.
If you are interested, shoot me what you be looking for. I have a few PSU's laying around ( some 230 V and some 300V I think ) and a few CPUs ( but all are old, Celeron 333 or something ).I need replacement PSU's, CPU's, and HDD's before I start, but I can have a 6 node cluster.
Yeah, man. I'm really thinking ( for a year or so ) about running web and database server off of cluster. Just never got around doing it.

BURLINGTON–The conditions at the Vermont State Division I Track Field Championships were anything but ideal, but that did not stop the North Country Falcons from achieving success at the meet.
The boys team brought home two first place finishes at the event, the first one coming from Jason Webster, whose 134 foot throw in the discus propelled him six feet past Brattleboro's Andy Hale for his second consecutive state title.
"Of course I am ecstatic to come back and defend my title. It was one of those things that I worried about all season, but coach told me to relax and do what you do.
NEWPORT–Coming into the opening round of the play-offs, the North Country boys tennis team was ranked fourth overall in Division I.
Their opponent, Champlain Valley was slated as the thirteenth seed.
How very misleading these numbers turned out to be.
The Falcons came out, gave everything they had, but still ended up on the losing end of things, falling 6-1 to bow out of the opening round of the play-offs.
LYNDON– It didn't take long for Lyndon Institute to set the tone.
After roping an inside-the-park home run in the game's first at bat, No. 3 Lyndon Institute cruised to a 15-4 victory over 14th-seeded Lake Region in high school girls softball Division II playdowns Wednesday afternoon.
The Vikings' (14-3) early dominance earned them a 9-0 lead after the first two innings, a comfortable margin for a veteran club looking to return to the state championship game after falling in that contest a year ago.
JERICHO–After performing well in her final two regular season starts, coach Leslie Dunn opted to go with Taylor Blake out of the shute for the Falcons opening round game against Mount Mansfield.
"She was great against Essex and MVU, so I figured we might as well go with her as she performs much better as a starter than as a reliever," said Dunn.
Blake gave it her all, but MMU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, so the coach brought in the ever-reliable Kayla Descheneau mid-way through the second to finish out the contest.
WATERBURY–Harwood was the best team while Matt Morin of Lake Region was the top individual at the Division II sectionals on Wednesday.
Morin shot a 1 over 73 to earn the win.
The highlight of Morin's round was a 17th hole Eagle to pull ahead of Harwood's Brooks Curran who finished 2nd with a very nice 76.
Another Lake Region score of note was Carl Oberg's very respectable 88.
It was not quite good enough to send him to States as an individual but still a very good effort on his part.
Team Results were as follows:
Harwood 1st with a total of 326.
Lyndon Institute 2nd with total of 343.
ORLEANS–In their final regular season tune-up, the Lady Rangers dropped a tough one to the Richford Rockets 15-3.
"We spanked every ball we hit, but gave up seven unearned runs in two innings," said coach Matt Tinker. "We get behind by five or six runs and the girls start to push too hard and instead of getting anything we get nothing."
After a 1-2-3 top of the first, Lake Region jumped out to 1-0 lead as Kayla Royer singled and came around to score the game's first run.
ORLEANS–This just wasn't Lake Region's year.
The baseball Rangers finished off their season losing 6-3 to Richford on senior day last Thursday, ending 2012 in last place in Division II with a 2-13 record.
But the future looks bright for the team.
Lake Region has a core of young players, as well as some coming up the pipe, which could spark a turnaround in the blue and white's future.
"We had a freshman on the mound today, and there are some great young kids that are coming up, said coach Eric Degre. "This year we just didn't get the bounces, but the youth is there.
BARRE–In their final two regular season matches of the season, North Country's boys tennis team blanked Spaulding 7-0 in back-to-back matches to close out the season with a 9-1-1 record, 4th overall in Division I.
In the first match the Falcons went with their traditional line-up and won with a combined score of 56-7.
In the second match they juggled their line-up and still won easily with a 56-13 total score.
"Dave was his usual workman-like self, Thomas' serve was clicking and his was strong at the net, and Maoz simply overwhelmed his opponent," said coach Gary Atchinson.
ORLEANS–Matt Morin medaled for the fifth straight time this season, shooting a 34, but it was not enough as the Lyndon Institute and Harwood tied atop the leader board to win the match.
Other Lake Region boys scores were Devin Morley and Carl Oberg, each with a 49, and Derek Rodgers shot a 58.
In the girls side Celeste Lussier took second place shooting a 54.
Next up for the team is sectionals, scheduled for next Wednesday at 10:00 AM.
NEWPORT–It was senior day at Prouty Beach for the North Country girls tennis team. Members of the class of 2012, Kelsey O'Donnell, Carlie Diette and Rhiannon Rosamillia were honored by their coach before the game with framed pictures of themselves as a memento for their four years with the team.
The seniors were not the only ones that will be departing from the team, head coach and co-founder of the program Marie George has decided to hang up her coaching racquet after twenty-five years with the team.

New England Clam Chowder (Set of 3 Cans)
Our Creamy New England Clam Chowder Tastes Homemade
New England Clam Chowder (Set of 3 Cans) 8 8
Tasty Chowder This is good clam chowder - very tasty without an overpowering clam flavor, and not too salty either. I make it with a half cup of 1/2 & 1/2 cream and a half cup of 2% milk and it is still rich. My husband, who is originally from Boston, likes that the chowder is basically just potatoes and clams without a lot of extra seasonings or other ingredients. February 3, 2014
Better than store bought Tried first can with the heavy cream and butter suggestion---very good lots of clam. Excellent flavor Almost as good as I have ever had. Will re-order. December 30, 2013
Not made in my kitchen? I purchased the New England Clam Chowder for my husband since he is the only one in the household who eats it. While I was cooking it, we both thought it smelled better than any chowder you get in a restaurant. I thought my husband might think it was a "hokey" Christmas gift, but he LOVED it. My husband said if he had not seen the can he would have thought I did make it at home. If you like New England Clam Chowder, you have to try it. We made it with the whipping cream. December 30, 2013
Great memories... Purchased the Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque for friends as a remembrance of our recent fall trip to Vermont. Almost like being there again... December 12, 2013
Yummy in the Tummy!!! This is by far the very best canned New England Clam Chowder we have eaten! And trust me, I am very picky about my clam chowder. After having spent two weeks in Maine, NH, and VT this summer I tasted a lot of good chowder. So I finally gave in to my thoughts and ordered the set of 3 cans from you and I am just soooo happy I did as it is ever as good as any I had on my vacation!! Has just the perfect blend of each ingredient and seasonings to make it absolutely a delight to eat. Thanks for another great product from your store. By the way, I had the opportunity to visit the store in Weston a few years ago while visiting our daughter near Putney and that was a fun experience!! Keep up the good work. October 9, 2013
Yum! I live at the beach so we have more than a few really good seafood restaurants, and this chowder is right up there with the best. I shared a can with a friend and she loves it too. I like a little fresh lemon juice on top. You have to get the fresh chowder crackers to go with it! March 2, 2013
The Real Deal I've never had New England clam chowder. I decided to take a chance on your canned product. It was easy to prepare, very delicious, creamy, and full of flavor. Maybe some day I'll get out east and experience the REAL thing. January 10, 2013
This is lush, quality restaurant chowder I've always wanted to try this chowder and I'm so glad I finally did. It's rich, creamy, clammy and easy to make. I will do it again. August 14, 2012

Welcome to Liz's family history blog!
Hello! My name's Liz Plummer and I have a textile arts blog over at Dreaming Spirals. I have recently got into family history research and so I decided to start a blog about it, talking about my discoveries and journey along the way. Feel free to leave a comment, especially if you are also researching any of the same surnames.
Most of my ancestors lived in Staffordshire and the West Midlands in the UK; a few wandered over from Cheshire and perhaps Shropshire. The main surnames I'm researching are: Docksey, Meredith, Hopkins, Simpson, Cooke, Swetmore, Lunn, Cooper.
