I have used the Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami as a reminder to prepare for the impending disaster. I took the following seven steps to help my family get ready. Refresh the contents of our &#8220;earthquake box.&#8221; I have a large container outside of my house with enough food and water to at last my family for one week.

The issue is actually not so simple. Bank of America has made it clear that the much publicized freeze is not a moratorium, just a temporary pause. &#8220;We will continue the foreclosure process on delinquent borrowers, but will not proceed to judgment or with a foreclosure sale at this time,&#8221; announced Bank of America. In fact, Bank of America announced on Monday, October 18th that it...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/10/east-bay-foreclosure-moratorium-expected-to-resume/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Kill the Phone Book and Save a Billion Pages of Paper</title><link>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/09/kill-the-phone-book-and-save-a-billion-pages-of-paper/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=kill-the-phone-book-and-save-a-billion-pages-of-paper</link> <comments>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/09/kill-the-phone-book-and-save-a-billion-pages-of-paper/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 10 Sep 2010 07:00:31 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Eric Haggin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sustainability]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tri-Valley Yellow Pages]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.arounddublinblog.com/?p=2956</guid> <description><![CDATA[The unthinkable has happened again. Someone has littered my neighborhood with useless heaps of paper in the form of a phone book. In this case it was the Valley Yellow Pages, but there have been others. Most families today never requested to have yellow pages like Valley Yellow Pages delivered, yet these relics from another time have been dumped continually on every local driveway. After a little informal polling, I found that no one I asked in my very limited sampling pool has cracked open a phone book...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/09/kill-the-phone-book-and-save-a-billion-pages-of-paper/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>38</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Why I Love/Hate Insurance</title><link>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/07/why-i-love-and-hate-insurance/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=why-i-love-and-hate-insurance</link> <comments>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/07/why-i-love-and-hate-insurance/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 24 Jul 2010 07:00:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Eric Haggin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Home Insurnace]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.arounddublinblog.com/?p=2443</guid> <description><![CDATA[I own some investment properties that have done very well. In January one property had a pipe break in and sustained significant water damage; in March another part of that same property was completely destroyed by arson. &#160;Fortunately no one was hurt. Had I not been properly insured, I would have been financially&#160;devastated. From these two incidents, I have learned a great deal about filing insurance claims and seeing the recovery process through to completion. The first, and probably the most important, thing you need to do right...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/07/why-i-love-and-hate-insurance/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Top 5 Tips for Buying a Home in the Tri-Valley</title><link>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/05/tri-valley-ca-top-5-home-buying-tips/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=tri-valley-ca-top-5-home-buying-tips</link> <comments>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/05/tri-valley-ca-top-5-home-buying-tips/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 27 May 2010 07:00:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Eric Haggin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BART]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Real Estate]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.arounddublinblog.com/?p=2484</guid> <description><![CDATA[Those of us who have lived in the Tri-Valley for a long time have seen many changes. As a Realtor I find that many home buyers jump into the home buying process without fully considering all of the opportunities and challenges here in the Tri-Valley. Look to the future. Which areas will best meet the needs for your family 5 years from now? Where will you work? Buying a home close to your current job may seem like a good idea. The shorter commute and more time with...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.arounddublinblog.com/2010/05/tri-valley-ca-top-5-home-buying-tips/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
