On this course you will learn:
- The scale of emotions everyone experiences in life, from highest to lowest.
- How you can accurately predict the behavior of a potential spouse, a business partner, employee or friend—before you commit to a relationship.
- Simple tools you can use to raise your own or another's emotional state.
Course Overview
How often have you heard someone say, "I don't understand him"? Sometimes irrational, unforeseen acts seem to be the norm among our fellows.
The fact is, there has never been a workable method to invariably predict human behavior—until now.
L. Ron Hubbard developed just such a method, and it is applicable to all men, without exception.
With this data, it is possible to accurately predict the behavior of a potential spouse, a business partner, employee or friend—before you commit to a relationship. The risks involved in human interaction can be avoided entirely or minimized when you can infallibly predict how people will behave.
By understanding and using the information in this course, all aspects of human relationships will become more productive and more fulfilling. You'll know who to associate with, who to avoid, and you will be able to help those who are mired in uncomfortable situations with others. Imagine knowing, after a very short time, how people will behave in any given circumstance. You can. Each and every time.

Success Stories
"Since I got acquainted with the booklet The Emotional Tone Scale, I began to get on better with people. From studying and the application of this technology, I have received huge advantages and in the course of executing the practical exercises took pleasure in communicating with many people.
"Using the Tone Scale and the knowledge of how to put it into practice, I have reconsidered many events of life and have changed my relations with people. Neighbors and sellers in shops have ceased to irritate me. In doing the exercises, it was pleasant to see smiles and contented faces of people.
"With this knowledge and these skills to increase the emotional tone of others—all is possible! Life becomes much more interesting, more cheerful."
"The Emotional Tone Scale has been a tool that has allowed me to evaluate the general mood of others and how they will react to certain comments. This alone provides an awesome amount of information on how a person will react.
"Just tonight I was using this tech and evaluating my friends. They were complaining and bringing up bad points about a friend, and I slowly watched as this lowered them on the negative tone scale. However, the tools given to me in The Emotional Tone Scale course allowed me to immediately recognize this, and swiftly react by engaging them with a higher tone, to successfully bring them back up the emotional tone scale.
"Normally I would have put this down to the subject becoming somber, but now I realize the effects of comments and the fact that the comments were projecting an idea—which wasn't a nice or positive idea—helping to lower these people on the emotional tone scale.
"Never before have I found a tool that works so consistently in being able to raise someone's mood. Tonight, when a co-worker was very snappy as his wife was giving him grief, I was able to raise him on the tone scale, and I noticed he in turn was pleasant towards his wife, helping to raise her on the tone scale.
"This tool is one of the skills that I have acquired, that I really don't know how I survived without."

Sunday, May 1, 2011
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Mother's day is just a week away and I wanted to present a few dessert recipes for you to consider before the day is here. The first of the entries is figure friendly and designed for health and diet conscious eaters. It's a panna cotta, and when it's made with small field ripened strawberries, only the cook will know the dessert has been lightened. The key to the success of this dessert, however, lies in the flavor of the berries, and, to be honest, I wouldn't bother with it when local berries are less than prime. Even then, I enhance its flavor with a berry extract, that can be found at the sources listed at the end of the recipe. The recipe for the panna cotta first appeared in Gourmet magazine and can now be found on the Epicurious website. Comments associated with the recipe indicate that some readers had problems getting the panna cotta to stiffen enough for unmolding. To avert that problem, I've increased the amount of gelatin in my version of the recipe and recommend it be made a full 24 hours before you plan to serve it. While I make and serve the fruit compote that accompanies the recipe, I also like to use a bit of melted strawberry jam as a sauce for the panna cotta. This is not necessary, but it adds wonderful color to the finished dessert. This is really easy to make and I think those of you who try it will enjoy it. Here's the recipe.
Strawberry Panna Cotta...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Gourmet Magazine and Epicurious
Panna Cotta
3 cups sliced strawberries (1 pound)
1-3/4 cups well-shaken low-fat buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon strawberry flavoring (optional)
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2-1/2 cups strawberries (preferably small; 3/4 pound), trimmed
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar
1) To make panna cotta: Blend strawberries, buttermilk, strawberry flavoring, salt and sugar in a blender until very smooth, then pour through a very fine sieve into a medium bowl, pressing hard on solids. Discard solids. Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Whisk gelatin-cream mixture into strawberry purée and pour into 6 (6-oz.) molds. Chill molds, covered, until firm, at least 24 hours. To unmold, dip molds in a small bowl of hot water 2 or 3 seconds, then invert panna cottas onto dessert plates and remove molds. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes to soften slightly.
2) To make compote: While panna cottas stand at room temperature, halve strawberries lengthwise if small or quarter if larger. Whisk orange juice and superfine sugar together in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Add strawberries and toss to coat. Serve panna cottas with compote. Yield: 6 servings.

Wow. Your strawberry desserts are in full swing. I agree with you, the jam adds more spectacular color to this already visually stunning dessert.

Memory tables in NexusDB are, to be blunt, nothing more than normal tables that are RAM resident. There are no limitations with a Nexus memory table over a disk-based Nexus table. Consequently, you can treat your memory tables with exactly the same code and in exactly the same way as you would your normal tables. This example shows you how to easily and quickly create and populate memory tables.
Create a new project with a single form as shown in the screen snapshot below. Connect up the NexusDB components as per Section 6 above. Be aware that we have hardcoded the "uses nx1xAllEngines" registration rather than use the Tnx1xAllEngines component.
Connect up the following code to the appropriate button click events:
Ancillary Code:
procedure TMainformMemTablesDialog.nxLoadTables;
procedure TMainformMemTablesDialog.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
Top button – converts a normal table into a memory table:
procedure TMainformMemTablesDialog.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
If Not nxTable1.Active then ShowMessage('No table is open') else
if nxTable1.TableName[1]='<' then ShowMessage('This is already a memory table') else
with nxTable2 do
Bottom button – displays data from selected table in the TdbGrid:
procedure TMainformMemTablesDialog.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
If ListBox1.ItemIndex<0 then ShowMessage('No Table Selected') else
This example has shown you, in a very quick way, how to create and populate a memory table from an existing Nexus table. This is the simplest way to do it : associate a TnxTable component with an existing Nexus table, rename the table with angle braces (< and >), and then create the table. The CopyRecords method of the table then copies all the records across in one operation.
For those who use excellent kbmMemTable want an in-memory structure with database like facilities are to note that memory table in Nexus is basically the same thing but with the added advantage that a NexusDB in-memory can be used by multiple threads in the same way as a normal nexusdb table and that can use all the capabilitied of the SQL engine. There also is the added advantage that, as required, NexusDB can swap out blocks of the tables into temporary storage if you happen to put more information in then fit within the MaxRam setting, kbmMT has to depend on the normal windows page file which is not always an optimal solution.
Is Memory Table simply a way of caching a normal Nexus table?
More the other way around, a "normal" table is technically the same as an in-memory table with the following additional functionality: blocks are read as needed from disk, when a transaction commits the modified blocks are written to disk, if MaxRam is reached blocks can be simply discarded (and later read in again) instead of having them written out to temporary storage. These are the only real differences between a in-memory table and a persisted table.
Does NexusDB aggressively cache?
So long as your data fits into the available memory...
That's the huge advantage a proper pure C/S implementation (server opens files exclusively, locks are handled with custom structures inside the server instead of OS locks on shared files) has over file-sharing databases, both direct file-sharing or file-sharing with remoting layer on top which some people then call C/S.
The server can always be sure it's cached data is consistent. All changes to the files go through the same layer (BufferManager in NexusDB) which is responsible for caching. As long as the server has more memory available as the size of the table files every block will only be read once and stays in the buffer manager from then on. The BufferManager is far below the point in the design where different users/sessions are distinguished, in a multi-user environment all sessions share the same buffer manager and a block needs to
be read only the first time a user accesses it. In a file-sharing design if one session writes to a table all other sessions need to read that changed block in again (actually, they have to read the blocks in all the time because it's unknown if the block in question has changed or not).
Difference between a NexusDB in-memory table and a normal table
The only difference between a NexusDB in-memory table and a normal table is that in-memory tables don't have a file assigned and the buffer manager never writes changes for them out to disk. For all intents and purposes, once a normal table is completely present in the buffer manager, as long as only read access takes place, it will perform exactly like an in-memory table would perform.
How is a table hosted by an embedded server very similar to an in-memory server scenario?
The engine never accesses files directly in any way. Instead, they use a function that looks like this:
TnxBaseTransaction = class;
TnxBaseFile = class;
TnxBlockNumber = Cardinal;
TnxReleaseMethod = procedure(var aBlock : PnxBlock) of object;
TnxBlock = array [TnxWord16] of TnxByte8;
PnxBlock = ^TnxBlock;
function GetBlock(aTrans : TnxBaseTransaction;
aFile : TnxBaseFile;
aBlockNumber : TnxBlockNumber;
aMarkDirty : Boolean;
var aReleaseMethod : TnxReleaseMethod)
: PnxBlock;
and the way how that function is used looks roughly like this:
Block : PnxBlock;
ReleaseMethod : TnxReleaseMethod;
Block := GetBlock(aTrans, aFile, 1234, True, ReleaseMethod);
{ us Block to read/write that specific block }
now take a quick look here:
Pay special attention to "read only block", "modified block" and "snapshot block".
if GetBlock is called with:
• | aTrans = nil then the returned block is the "read only block" (newest commited version of the block) |
• | aTrans being a snapshot transaction then the returned block is either the "read only block" or a "snapshot block" if the block has been changed by commiting another transaction which modified that block since the snapshot transaction was started. |
• | aTrans is a normal transaction then the returned block will be the newest modified block (or the read only block if the block hasn't been modified in this transaction yet), if aMarkDirty is true and there either is no modified block yet or the newest modified block has a lower level then the current transaction then a new modified block is created, the contents of the prior block (newest modified or read only) is copied into it and the new modified block is returned. |
• | When a transaction is rolled back all modified blocks for the current transaction level are simply discarded. |
• | When a nested transaction is commited all the modified blocks for the current transaction level are added to the next lower trans level, replacing exiting modified blocks if required. |
• | When a non-nested transaction is commited all the read only blocks are replaced by the modified blocks, if there are any snapshot transactions active the readonly blocks are moved into snapshot blocks as required instead of being discarded. If the "file" is actually backed by a physical file on disk all the modified blocks are written to disk now, if requested (failsafe transactions) using a 2 phase commit system. |
• | When a snapshot transaction ends all snapshot blocks that are no longer required are discarded. The buffer manager keeps track of all these blocks, the time they were last accessed, if they are currently "in use" (meaning GetBlock has been called but the ReleaseMethod hasn't yet) and how much memory they require. Whenever the buffer manager needs to allocate an additional buffer (w.g. because a block that isn't yet present in memory has been requested, a new modified block needs to be created, a new snapshot block needs to be created...) it checkes if all current blocks together exceed the MaxRAM setting, If yes, it starts to check the oldest blocks if their memory can be freed up for other use till enough memory has been freed to stay below MaxRAM. |
• | the block can't currently be "in use" |
• | read only blocks can just be discarded because they can be read from disk again. *If* the "file" for this block isn't backed by a real physical file (= in-mem table) it has to be written to temporary storage instead. |
• | all other blocks can be written into temporary storage. |
When a block is requested the buffer manager reads the block from disk or temporary storage as required if it isn't already present in memory.
The *only* difference between a persisted table and a in-mem table is that an in-mem table is not backed by a physical file on disk, that means:
When commiting a non-nested transaction:
• | persisted tables have to write the modified blocks into their physical file before returning |
• | in-mem tables just do nothing, When MaxRAM is reached and the oldest blocks are used to free up memory: |
• | persisted tables can just discard the read only blocks as they are identical to the version on disk |
• | in-mem tables have to write the block into temporary storage |
Given your description of what you want to do I don't see much point at all in using in-mem tables. As long as your MaxRAM setting is larger then all tables together sooner or later they will be cached in memory completely...if they are larger then MaxRAM the most often used blocks will be cached in memory, with blocks being read from disk as required and the oldest blocks just discarded. With in-mem tables everything that doesn't fit into memory would need to be written into temporary storage. You can force the data into memory by just opening a TnxTable and doing a "while not Eof do Next"; After that all the data blocks and the blocks for the current index should be in memory (again, assuming MaxRAM is larger then the table).

Undertow is Javier Fuentes-León's first feature film. Having won the World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2010, it opened in the UK in August 2010.
Forbidden love is consistently central to art – simultaneously exciting and tender, illicit and idealised. These affairs are more romanticised than their conventional, trouble-free counterparts, and the story of star-crossed lovers, from Romeo and Juliet, to Anthony and Cleopatra, perpetually thrills. But these narratives inevitably focus on the love between a man and a woman, which Javier Fuentes-León eliminates in his first feature-length film, Undertow, which won the World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award at Sundance this year.
Undertow unpacks a powerful love story in a small Peruvian coastal town between married fisherman Miguel and Santiago, an openly gay, rich holiday-maker, ostracised by the villagers for his Otherness. The marriage of Miguel and his wife, Mariela, is happy, affectionate and inclusive – they cook an outdoor meal for all the church-goers every Sunday, they are expecting their first baby and Miguel lovingly sings and jokes to his wife's swelling belly. In light of this contentment Miguel's secret affair with Santiago is transgressive, but it becomes the romanticised, pure love of the collective imagination against the conventionalities of his marriage. As the two frolic in the surf, on white sands under azure skies, we could almost be watching a love-song music video, but for the fact that mainstream audiences are so unaccustomed to the act of any representational homosexual love on screen.
This film is unique because rather than portraying the explicitly promiscuous, sexually predatory or saccharine sentimentality through which gay relationships are traditionally displayed on screen, Fuentes-León shows the couple exactly as he would a heterosexual forbidden romance – with tenderness, longing, and a common playfulness in the face of adversity. "The love between Miguel and Santiago had to jump out of the screen. I wanted to create a love story between two men that would move us like the great love stories that we've grown up seeing between a man and a woman, for general audiences to see that two men can love each other with the same emotional intensity and truthfulness that a man and a woman can." While Miguel and Mariela play happy families, Santiago, is consistently ignored by the village, the offensiveness of his wealth, his art and his intensity fading into insignificance against his homosexuality in the conservative consciousness. Miguel's own ingrained Catholic guilt quickly becomes apparent, because openly his religious zeal condemns homosexuality. When Santiago is involved in a fatal accident, Miguel cannot shake him from his mind, and he is frozen in purgatory in the village, with only Miguel as a witness. Miguel runs the gamut from sympathy for Santiago, selfishness when he realises he can continue his affair and keep his family, and finally at his lowest point, when his wife and the entire village discover the affair, to self-acceptance and respect for Santiago's soul, in the face of judgement from all his fellow villagers, and humiliation for his family.
In Fuentes-León's initial concept, Miguel's lover was the town prostitute. It was through Fuentes-León's own struggles with his sexuality that he altered the sexual orientation of the central relationship, "I knew the story would not only become more personal, but also would create a better drama. The stakes would be raised exponentially by having the main character have an affair with another man in a small town." These explorations of the judgement of Catholic society lie at the heart of the story, and combine with the machismo of Latin American culture to create a confined, limited view of manhood, which is inevitably one-dimensional and infinitely fallible.
Undertow is rife with religious symbolism, and in accepting his need to be passed to God, Santiago, who was cynical in life, quickly accepts the traditions of religion when he dies, in a manner that reflects a widely liberal acceptance of homosexuality among moderate Christians, alongside their biblical beliefs. In this, Undertow creates an interesting subversion of trends with the liberal moving towards a tolerance of religious traditions, if not an understanding. Judgement dominates the village – not just externally, but internally within Miguel. He is, in a sense, the most homophobic of all the characters, deeply ashamed of his affair. He repeatedly refuses to accept his sexuality and instead revels in the duplicity of his life, where he lies to his wife, and keeps his lover in acute isolation for his own pleasure. As a central character, Miguel is hard to accept and sympathise with, particularly in contrast to his wife and his lover. These two strong leads inherently question the role of the "macho" in Latin culture: "I believe that Miguel finally behaves like a real man when he stands up in front of others and defends his love for another man, and in many macho societies that concept of masculinity would be seen as radical. But is masculinity an exclusive quality of heterosexuality? Is manhood defined by sexual orientation? I hope to expand the limited definition that we have in macho societies of what it is to be a man and to point out the failure of the macho ideal, which I believe has caused a lot of harm in our societies, not only to women, but to men themselves."
The outing of Miguel is his redemption, by openly giving Santiago's body to God, under the watchful eye of all the village gossips, and in spite of his wife's protests, Miguel honours Santiago's memory and legitimises the couple's love. Deliberately ambiguous, it is unclear if this may be one humiliation too many for Mariela: "By honouring his love for Santiago, Miguel now has the chance of real happiness with Mariela, by the end of the film, he has definitely lost a lot of what he fought so hard to keep, but he has gained himself, he has achieved peace in his own skin and that's an invaluable and crucial ingredient to a real and honest relationship." In Undertow's narrative it's pertinent that no one love, heterosexual or homosexual, is prioritised over the other – although its illicitness imbibes Santiago and Miguel's affair with the long-held mystique of idealised romantic love, Mariela and Miguel's marriage remains romantic, tender and passionate at moments throughout the screenplay. While their passions are very different, each is displayed with sympathy and emotion, in a manner that makes Miguel's dilemma all the more poignant. After his discovery, Miguel's need to prove himself to his wife gives their sex scene an almost desperate tension, it is uncomfortable and yet it says more about the relationship in contrast to his easy nature with Santiago, and about its comforts. "Miguel's love for Mariela is anchored in his yearning for security, safety, a conventional family, belonging to his society, and the reassurance that he is a good Catholic. His love for Santiago is based on the promise of a bigger and different world, full of possibilities."
With Santiago's appearance from beyond the grave viewers are asked to suspend disbelief, and the screenplay risks lurching into bad science-fiction. But instead Fuentes-León successfully engages with South America's strong traditions of Magical Realism, and the emotions of the lead role root the events in human experience even when the circumstances are incredulous. "Looking back I was probably very naïve to not worry about the fact that I was dwelling in such a renowned and accomplished tradition. Fantasy can be very liberating when you are writing or creating a world, because it allows you to create myths, and if used well then the story can become more transcendent and universal."Undertow was seen by many studios as a niche film and a long time in the making, allowing its writer to hone its romance and poignancy. Subsequently, Undertow, as the Sundance Award attests, has ingratiated itself to a much wider audience, through the eternal familiarity and universal appeal of its story.
Undertow was released in cinemas across the UK on 6 August 2010. www.axiomfilms.co.uk.

Buying a home can be an anxiety-ridden process, and that potential anxiety gets amplified for anyone who's embarking on homeownership for the very first time. There's so much to do and so much you don't know that "being overwhelmed" hardly seems like an appropriate description of how it feels.
And even though you don't want to scare yourself away from the entire process, you still need to be wary of falling into a few common traps that first-time buyers generally don't avoid. If you're aware of these five potential mistakes -- and able to keep yourself from making them -- then you'll be saving yourself some significant stress on your home buying journey.
Mistake No. 1: Not understanding your down payment options
The biggest headache for so many first-time buyers is the down payment. If you've ever bought a car, then you're probably familiar with the concept -- it's money that you contribute to the total cost of the purchase.
A down payment of just a couple thousand dollars can get you a head start on your car. If you don't have a certain amount to put down on your home loan, however, you might find yourself paying private mortgage insurance (PMI) on the lifetime of the loan. Depending on your credit score, the bank and other factors, PMI could cost between 0.5 percent to 1 percent of the total loan amount.
Most banks require at least a 20 percent down payment before they will waive the need for PMI on the loan. And most homes in this area cost about $300,000, so that means a buyer would need to bring $60,000 to the table in order to avoid PMI.
However, there are loans that allow you to put as little as 3 percent down on the home ($9,000 for a $300,000 home), which is much more reasonable for a first-time buyer, especially if you can accommodate the annual cost of $1,500 to $3,000 in PMI into your monthly payment amount. And veterans could be eligible for zero-down loan programs with no PMI through the Veterans Administration (VA) loan program, so that's something else to think about.
There's one more thing to know about down payment options: Some government organizations and lenders try to incentivize first-time homeownership by offering free down payment grants or loans to qualified buyers. Depending on your age, income level, credit score and other factors, you could qualify for free money to wrap into your down payment; a full rundown of programs is available at downpaymentresource.com.
Mistake No. 2: Not getting prequalified for a loan
Between the amount of money you plan to put down on the home, the potential PMI and other cost factors, your monthly cost could be significantly more (or possibly less) than some of those calculators will show you online.
So before you trust those "estimated monthly mortgage loan amount" numbers that you see popping up next to your potential new dream home on Realtor.com, Zillow or a brokerage website, it pays to figure out what you can actually afford -- and that means getting prequalified for a home loan.
This means you will need to talk to a mortgage loan officer and submit a slew of documentation, from your monthly pay stub to your credit score, in order for that loan officer to tell you how much money you can get for your home loan. It's a little bit painful, but the prequalification letter you'll get as a result is much more credible than a quick qualification you can pull up on an app -- and that means sellers will take it more seriously when it comes time to put in an offer. You'll have to qualify for a loan eventually anyway, so why not get the painful part out of the way?
Be careful: A bank might approve you for a loan amount that's realistically more debt than you can carry month-to-month. Consider that you'll need to pay homeowners' insurance, taxes and possibly flood insurance on your new property or PMI on your loan, and try to make sure you're not setting yourself up for a total monthly payment that's more than about one-third of your household's take-home pay.
Not only will this help you set your price range for the search stage, but it will also give you confidence that you -- yes, you! -- can be a successful homeowner someday soon.
Mistake No. 3: Not finding a qualified real estate professional
It's so easy to find homes online these days that you may wonder why a real estate professional is even necessary. After all, isn't the hard part -- finding the place you want to buy -- something you can do yourself?
Well, maybe. But the process of buying and selling a home is filled with 100's of details that need to be planned for and navigated to a successful outcome. Not to mention areas with competitive markets where you're probably not seeing the most updated listings -- that home you just fell in love with online might be under contract before you can set up a time to tour it.
Not only can a real estate professional make sure you have access to listings the second they hit the MLS, but a licensed real estate professional can also provide expertise on the area where you want to move. Whether that's feedback on who can help you with homeowners' insurance quotes to warnings about some of the challenges of owning a home in that particular area, you want to work with an honest professional dedicated to protecting your interests and those of the public.
A real estate professional is an invaluable resource.
Here are some questions to ask any real estate professional you're interviewing:
- How long have you sold real estate?
- How long have you sold real estate in this neighborhood in particular?
- What can you tell me about the energy options in the area?
- What else should I know about utilities, like water/sewer and other amenities?
- What do other clients who have moved here like about the area? What don't they like?
- What do people in this area like to do for fun? What are some popular weekend activities?
- What can I expect about the buying process? What steps should I be especially aware of, and how will we stay in communication?
A real estate professional who's an area expert should have no trouble answering the lifestyle questions, and a real estate professional who's a transaction-management ace can help you understand exactly what you're in for, how long it's likely to take and what rewards await you at the end of the tunnel.
Mistake No. 4: Not spending the night in the neighborhood
If it's at all possible, see if you can find an Airbnb or another vacation-rental type of setup where you can crash for a night or two -- preferably closer to a week -- so you can try your new neighborhood on for size.
Is an 8 a.m. arrival time at work still reasonable with this neighborhood's commute? This is an opportunity for you to start navigating your way around public transportation or new routes to work so you know exactly what you're signing up for.
Where are the closest grocery stores, parks, rec centers and hiking trails? Figure out where you're going to shop and work out, and where you can spend time outside walking the dog or enjoying nature. That way you won't kick yourself later for realizing too late that something you really value isn't available.
And what are the overnight noise levels like, anyway? If there's a train that rolls through town in the early hours of the morning, you're near a highway or a flight path -- and any of that is going to disturb you -- then it's best to figure it out before you're spending your first night in your new home and wake up to unpleasant (and unexpected) noises.
At the very least, you can learn enough about the neighborhood to know how close to (or far away from) the bus line you need or want to be and target your home search accordingly.
Mistake No. 5: Not understanding what's fixable and what's a deal-breaker
Those drop panels in the ceiling are hideous, and you can't imagine how anyone can fit into that minuscule bathtub.
Are those annoyances that can be fixed or deal-breakers that mean you should pass on the property entirely?
This is another area where a good real estate agent can help. They see so many houses in various stages of repair and updating that they can show you where you can claim another foot or two for bathtub space (and help you figure out how much it will cost and who's trustworthy enough to take on the job) or let you know that the ceilings are too low for any changes to make much of a difference. They can also give you an idea of what's up to code and what simply won't pass an inspection in 2017, so you know what concessions to request as soon as you're ready to make an offer.
In markets where entry-level homes are getting snatched up as soon as they hit the market, knowing what's acceptable and what you just can't take is a huge advantage -- it'll help you make a decision, with confidence, on the fly.
None of these mistakes will keep you from buying a home of your own -- but they could delay the process and cost you hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars at the end of the day. But if you're able to avoid them, you'll be signing the closing papers on your dream home before you know it!

Yes, the only difference is in step <2b> when you install DRBL. You can use drblsrv-offline to make it. For example, Scientific Linux 5.0 is compatible with Fedora or CentOS, you can make it by:
a. Follow the installation doc in the website, in step <2a>, install DRBL rpm package drbl-current.rpm
b. cp /usr/share/drbl/setup/yum-repos/drbl.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
c. It is recommended to turn on GPG key checking, i.e. set
in /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/sl-security.repo
d. Run "drblsrv-offline -r" to see which required packagesshould be installed in DRBL server.
e. yum install dhcp tftp-server nfs-utils ypserv ypbind yp-tools mkinitrd ntp firstboot iptables wget dialog initscripts rsync parted tcpdump bc grub dos2unix curl lftp openssh-server openssh-clients coreutils gzip bzip2 nc file ethtool net-tools syslinux
yum install mkpxeinitrd-net clonezilla drbl-partimage drbl-ntfsprogs drbl-chntpw drbl-lzop udpcast drbl-etherboot freedos
yum install lvm2 ntfs-3g
f. drblsrv-offline -s `uname -r`
This command means you will let client use the same running kernel in the DRBL server. If you want to assign some kernel rpm to let client use, you have to download the kernel rpm first, for example, kernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.i686.rpm, then run:
drblsrv-offline -k kernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.i686.rpm
The kernel you specify for client to use must comply with the CPU arch of client. If you are not sure, try to use i586 kernel is a good idea. However, you will lost the optimization.
For more options about drblsrv-offline, you can run "drblsrv-offline -h" to show that.
g. drblpush -i
You might see some warning messages, but normally it's fine to live with that.

Free Fight
Michael DiSanto breaks down Saturday's UFC on FOX main event between Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Brandon "The Truth" Vera...
Rewind the clock to November 18, 2006.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in Sacramento, California, which was just a short drive from my then home in San Francisco, to help cover UFC 65 for UFC.com. My job, as always, was to write an op-ed piece in reaction to what went down.
I was sitting at lunch with my editor and good friend, Thomas Gerbasi, enjoying one of Sac-Town's football-sized burritos, when our conversation turned to the night's matchups. Gerbasi and I love to wager cheeseburgers on our ability to predict the outcome of the fights. I think I'm down enough cheeseburgers to solve world hunger. I digress.
When the conversation arrived at the second televised bout of the night, we quickly moved from breaking down the matchup to pontificating about the upside potential of Brandon Vera. He was facing former champion Frank Mir in what was definitely the biggest fight of his career. It was a fight that would definitely demonstrate whether the hoopla and hype surrounding this guy was just that, or if he really was "The Truth," as he likes to call himself.
Sixty-nine seconds into the fight, the world learned the answer to that question, as Vera obliterated a guy who has gone on to become one of the most accomplished heavyweights of our era. Vera was on top of the world after UFC 65. He was a heavyweight champion in wait, and a guy who many believed could actually hold both the light heavyweight and heavyweight crowns simultaneously.
Crazy talk, I know. But Vera had that sort of aura surrounding him at the time. He was every bit as exciting of a prospect as current superstar Jon Jones was before the current light heavy king won the title.
And then it all came crashing down.
Vera lost three of his next four, and six of his next nine, if one counts the savage beating he took from Thiago Silva in their no contest as a loss – I do, by the way. I can't think of a more spectacular fall from grace by someone with that much potential. I'm not sure what happened. I'm not even sure if Vera knows what happened. But it happened.
Humbled and on the verge of needing a career change, Vera figured out how to right the ship against Eliot Marshall in a yeoman's like effort last October. Now, he is back in the spotlight with the opportunity to erase all the heartache he has experienced over the last nearly five years.
On Saturday night, Vera will fight on national broadcast television in what will certainly be the biggest stage of his career. He will face former UFC and PRIDE champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the main event of the fourth live broadcast by FOX.
Make no mistake about it. This is supposed to be a feature bout for Rua. After all, he is squarely in the middle of the 205-pound title picture. A spectacular win over Vera may very well put him next in line for the winner of September's title fight between Jones and Dan Henderson. But this is far more significant for Vera. This is a make-it-or-break-it moment for him. A solid performance keeps him relevant. A win skyrockets him into title contention. And a bad loss probably has him doing a bit of career evaluation.
How is that for pressure?
Let me add to it. Shogun is one of the most fearsome standup fighters that the 205-pound division has ever seen, and Vera prefers to compete on the feet. But the two are stylistically so very different. Let's break that down a bit.
Shogun is a maestro at what most consider to be fistic chaos. That is a trademark of many current and former Chute Boxe Academy fighters. That is a gym that focuses on exceling when the action devolves into an all-out brawl, rather than a highly technical sporting event. And Shogun may be its best graduate.
The Brazilian wants to fight Vera. He doesn't want to play the stick and move game, though he is great at that, too, as he proved in his two fights with Lyoto Machida. But he prefers pressure. He prefers to become a berserker inside the cage. And Vera is going to have to deal with that.
Vera, on the other hand, is a tactician's tactician. He is a master of the outside leg kick. He has a great right hand, and excellent left hook, and a solid understanding of angles and movement. He is an amazingly technical kickboxer. But he hasn't always shown the greatest degree of comfort in the face of elite skills combined with tremendous pressure.
If Shogun can devolve the action into a fight in a phone booth, both men have the skills and power to win by knockout. Yet, Shogun probably wins that type of fight more often than not. If Vera can keep the action to more of a stick-and-move kickboxing bout, he will do very well.
Forget takedowns. Vera is the far better wrestler. He won't be taken down by Shogun, unless he is asleep at the wheel, and he should be able to get the fight to the ground, if he really wants to. Shogun is the better ground fighter from all positions. The difference is glaringly apparent when comparing their guards, but Shogun has the edge in all positions.
Thus, it is likely that Vera won't seek to take the fight to the ground, and Shogun probably can't get it there, even if he wants to. So, this fight will be determined on the feet.
Normally, I would lean heavily toward Shogun in a matchup like this one. He is the more accomplished fighter. He has performed better over the last several years. And he has more ways to win.
But Vera is no stranger to rising to the occasion when facing a world-class fighter. He destroyed Mir, as mentioned. And many thought he got robbed when the judges awarded Hall of Famer Randy Couture a unanimous decision victory in their 2009 bout.
Call me stubborn, but I can't let go of Vera's vast potential. Five-year struggles notwithstanding, this guy has as much potential on paper as anyone in the game. I keep thinking the next fight will be the one where everything clicks for him. Maybe that will happen on Saturday night. Maybe not. But I'm not betting against him.
