Assist Open
Looking for a home can be exhausting with the excess inventory on the market. Home values have fallen and it continues to be a buyer's market. Your time is important and it can take hours each weekend attending open houses before you find the home for you. By being prepared you can utilize your time more efficiently and gather the necessary data.
When attending an open house you can expect to meet a real estate agent that is showing the home, unless it is a home that is for sale by owner. In this case be prepared to deal directly with the owner of the home. However, the majority of the time you will be dealing with the agent representing the seller.
Before leaving home you want to have a good idea of where you will be going. If you plan on viewing several homes that day you should take a few minutes to plot your trip using Google Maps, printing off directions from one place to the next.
Now that you have your itinerary planned for the day it is time to make a list of important things to look at when viewing an open house. Before stepping out of the car look at the surrounding homes; are they well kept? If the home you are viewing is the only nice looking home on the block it may affect the value later down the road. You will also want to make a note if the home is next to an industrial area or close to a busy street. This too may have a negative affect on the home's value.
When viewing the home don't be afraid to interact with the agent showing it. Find out details such as; how long the home has been on the market, age, square feet, etc. Use your nose; smell for any off odors that may indicate a problem such as pet stains or mildew. Look for water stains on both the floor boards and the ceiling. This can indicate flooding or a leak from the roof, both of which may be costly to repair if not addressed beforehand.
Examine the walls and foundation for cracks and anything out of the ordinary; for example, if one wall is painted in a room but the rest aren't it may be a sign that something is being covered up. If you are interested in the home it is important to take the time to go through it. Of course many things will be found when the home inspection is done but it doesn't hurt to know what you are getting yourself into.

Value Package
Idont want back up storage so which norton package is the best value. Yes I know so many of u dont rate norton
I have external storage so thats why I dont norton to do it . What I need to know is Norton 2008 more suited to me than Norton 360
To answer your question. Obviously we can rule norton 360 out beacause that has backup.
So I would reccomend norton internet security as featured here.

If you dont already I would also reccomend downloading and running ccleaner (crap cleaner) it gets rid of files of your PC that you dont need not your files like your images etc but files that windows kind off gathers but does not delete. After I used it I noticed a big increase in my performance.

Emergency Kit
Tips for packing an emergency preparedness kit?
We're repacking our 72 hour kits and trying to ensure that they will be useful to us if we do need to use them. What are some tips that we should remember? What should we make sure to include? What should we not include?
My husband and I do have an 18 month old toddler, so weight and ease of carrying are essential in case we have to carry our toddler and his kit.
I know this isn't really related to camping, but I'm hoping that campers will have some suggestions on what essentials to include and how to pack them.
Most of the time, your 72 hour kit will travel with you in your car. So, weight is not a problem there. If you have to hike out, then you have to consider weight in relationship to your physical condition. I would suggest using a "lawn wagon."
Home Depot and Lowe's has the wagon to assist with yard work. Since they are designed to carry weight (fertilizer, potted plants), I intend to purchase one for my family. I would think it would be easier to pull a wagon with some extra water and food, and maybe carry a small day pack, then to carry the whole load on your back.

I have an experience of 10years+ in IT field as Systems and Network Administrator. I am looking out for a job in US in similar field. And want to know about the payscale including details like taxes, expenses etc. for not only survival but better than normal survival.

As far as living expenses, taxes, etc., it depends on the area of the country and laws since some states don't charge income tax and housing is far more expensive in some areas than in others.

Fishing Survival
Where is the best place to build a survival retreat?
I figure close to a stream & lake would be good because i could get electricity from the stream and fish from the lake. Some other idea's for living off the grid or personal experiences from fellow survivalists would be welcome.
in the back woods near a fresh water stream or river(has to be deep enough for fish), because stream water is safer too drink because it is constantly moving which makes it harder for bacteria to accumulate. and the back woods because most animals retreat away from civilization so there would be more game for you to hunt. and remember, all fresh water fish can be eaten, raw or cooked.
