I find many of his posts interesting and like to pass them on when I think they are relevant to the general public. I thought this one was very informative. Enjoy.</p>  </p>  <div id=\"reblogging_tag\">Via <b><a href=\"http://activerain.com/blogsview/1846264/dealing-with-online-harassment\">Robert Siciliano (Identity Theft Speaker)</a></b>:<br /><blockquote>                    <p>I was watching <em>Back to the Future II </em>with a little person in my life and thought how funny it was that every time McFly was called a chicken he would accept the challenge and throw up his dukes. Maybe it’s funny to me because I’m kind of like McFly. When someone tosses out an insult or a challenge or baits me, my teeth come out and I’m ready for battle. I can’t help myself; I’m half Italian American and half German shepherd (and I’m not sure which half is worse).  Constructive feedback is one thing, but insults and attacking me is another.</p>  <p>I think most people at some level have a hard time with being mocked or personally castigated online or on the ground.  My mom used to say if you ignore them they will eventually go away. There is truth to that but it is easier said than done. Today’s advice might be to R.I.D yourself of the perp. That’s Report-Ignore-Delete.</p>  <p>Social networks are a minefield of messy comments and accusations that can invade your personal security. Anyone can set up a profile of someone else or post photos and videos or say awful things. The best thing you can do is simply manage things said about you.</p>  <p>To report someone on <a href=\"http://www.homesecuritysource.com/blogs/100-million-facebook-profiles-published-via-p2p.aspx\">Facebook</a> go to their profile and seek out in the bottom left corner “Report/Block this person” and you can remove them too. All sites allow you to remove those you are connected to.</p>    <p>Any Groups or pages that are designed with harassment in mind can be reported.</p>  <p>You can’t stop someone from posting a photo of you but you can remove any tags associated with photos on Facebook. If you see pictures that are harmful report them.</p>  <p>Most sites allow you to delete stuff on your feed or at least control who/what can be posted.</p>  <p>Most sites allow you to restrict access to your profile using various privacy settings</p>  <p>In email if you receive harassing messages most email providers allow blocking senders in the options menus. Otherwise create filters and automatically delete them. There is no need to engage in hate. Ignoring them by never seeing them is best.</p>  <p>You can also block text messages from unwanted callers. Why even give them the time of day. Ignore them and visit your carrier for instructions.</p>  <p>Monitor your children’s online profiles. Friend them to keep tabs. There are numerous programs that allow you to get snapshots of your kids social media activity. If you decide to install them have a conversation with your kids so they know why.</p>  <p>If any threats are ever made or harassment is taken to a level that deems a call to law enforcement, don’t hesitate to make the call.</p>  <p>Robert Siciliano personal security expert to <a href=\"http://www.homesecuritysource.com/Blogs.aspx?AuthorName=Robert%20Siciliano\">Home Security Source</a> discussing <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpHdaC82Uk\">home security and identity theft</a> on TBS Movie and a Makeover.<a href=\"http://www.homesecuritysource.com/community-guidelines.aspx#blog-disclosure\"> Disclosures</a>.</p>                         </blockquote></div><div class=\"agent_signature\"><p>If you or anyone you know is interested in buying or selling Real Estate In <strong>LEBANON COUNTY, PA</strong>, I'd be grateful for the referral...Enjoy the day!</p></div></p></div><div class='RSS_Entry'><h1><a href='http://activerain.com/blogsview/1846291/the-ups-and-downs' target='new'>The ups and downs</a></h1><h2>9/9/2010 2:02:42 AM</h2><p><p>Our current market is a result of many factors, not the least of which is fear.&nbsp;&nbsp;There have been many articles written in our major newspapers about the bubble about to burst, or other such forecasts of doom and gloom that people just don't know what to do. The occasional assurance is offered in print or on the news that \"most real estate analysts don't <em>think</em> we are going to experience a crash\".</p>  <p>I have watched the values of real estate go up, go down, go up, go down over the last 30 years. People are playing the wait and see game. So values may go down a bit - maybe more than a bit. In 1980 my husband and I purchased a piece of property for $110,000.00. Within two years the value fell to $85,000.00 but we had not over extended ourselves so we just kept paying our mortgage and got on with our lives. That property today is worth over a million dollars (no longer owned by me - too bad).</p>  <p>So, what am I trying to say? It's simple math. Prices will continue to go up in the long run. There may be some ups and downs along the way but there is a steady climb in the long run.</p>  <p>&nbsp;<img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/2/1/6/2/ar128402061426124.jpg\" height=\"334\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" /></p>  <p>The best advice for buyers is to give up trying to time the ups and downs of the housing market. Buy a home when you can afford it and you find one you like.&nbsp; That means you should not be trying to figure out the highs and the lows.&nbsp;</p>  <p>What you should be looking at is what happens to your cost of borrowing if you put off your purchase over the fear of a short-term decline in prices.</p>  <p>Currently interest rates are at historic lows, the cost of borrowing will almost certainly go up within the next year. For people who put off buying a home now because they fear real estate prices will fall, there is a really good chance that the increase in borrowing costs will be much more costly over their mortgage&nbsp;term than any&nbsp;dip in prices and may prevent them from qualifying for the type of home they want to buy.</p>  <p>Just as an example. If someone borrows $400,000 with a rate of three per cent, the monthly payment over a 5 year term with a 25-year amortization would be approximately $1,893.00. If the rate increases to six per cent, the monthly payment would be approximately $2,560.00 - a loss over the five year term of close to $40,000.00.</p><div class=\"agent_signature\"><p>Diane Friesen<br />Century 21 Coastal Realty Ltd.<br />Serving Delta, BC, Surrey, BC, White Rock, BC&nbsp;and Langley, BC<br />(604) 866-5944<br /><a href=\"http://www.Onlyyourneighbourhood.ca\">www.OnlyYourNeighbourhood.ca</a></p></div></p></div><div class='RSS_Entry'><h1><a href='http://activerain.com/blogsview/1846290/housing-foreclosures-in-england' target='new'>Housing Foreclosures in England</a></h1><h2>9/9/2010 1:59:20 AM</h2><p><p>Yesterday I had a good chat with an agent in Luton, just a little north of London, England and we were discussing bank sales.<img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/7/6/3/0/ar128402230703677.jpg\" height=\"193\" alt=\"\" width=\"284\" /></p>  <p>When they get a bank sale, they must advertise and promote the property for 14 days minimum, And then, (get this) when and if they get an offer, the offer price must be posted publicly for all to see. Theoretically, the purchaser can get bumped up to the last day of closing!</p>  <p>That's right, you can do an inspection, financing and legal and up to the day of close, someone can bump you and the purchaser is SOL. (sh*t out of luck). Good for the lender but not good for the buyer and his or her representative.<img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/6/5/8/6/ar128402241868568.jpg\" height=\"142\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" />Without buyer representation, buyers are jumping from agent to agent looking for deals! I explained to him how the process works in Ontario and how I perceive it works in the U.S. and he was dumbfounded.</p>  <p>Regardless of what country you practice real estate, people, lenders and lawyers are quite similar.

Maybe it’s funny to me because I’m kind of like McFly. When someone tosses out an insult or a challenge or baits me, my teeth come out and I’m ready for battle. I can’t help myself; I’m half Italian American and half German shepherd (and I’m not sure which half is worse).  Constructive feedback is one thing, but insults and attacking me is another.</p>  <p>I think most people at some level have a hard time with being mocked or personally castigated online or on the ground.  My mom used to say if you ignore them they will eventually go away. There is truth to that but it is easier said than done. Today’s advice might be to R.I.D yourself of the perp. That’s Report-Ignore-Delete.</p>  <p>Social networks are a minefield of messy comments and accusations that can invade your personal security. Anyone can set up a profile of someone else or post photos and videos or say awful things. The best thing you can do is simply manage things said about you.</p>  <p>To report someone on <a href=\"http://www.homesecuritysource.com/blogs/100-million-facebook-profiles-published-via-p2p.aspx\">Facebook</a> go to their profile and seek out in the bottom left corner “Report/Block this person” and you can remove them too. All sites allow you to remove those you are connected to.</p>    <p>Any Groups or pages that are designed with harassment in mind can be reported.</p>  <p>You can’t stop someone from posting a photo of you but you can remove any tags associated with photos on Facebook. If you see pictures that are harmful report them.</p>  <p>Most sites allow you to delete stuff on your feed or at least control who/what can be posted.</p>  <p>Most sites allow you to restrict access to your profile using various privacy settings</p>  <p>In email if you receive harassing messages most email providers allow blocking senders in the options menus. Otherwise create filters and automatically delete them. There is no need to engage in hate. Ignoring them by never seeing them is best.</p>  <p>You can also block text messages from unwanted callers. Why even give them the time of day. Ignore them and visit your carrier for instructions.</p>  <p>Monitor your children’s online profiles. Friend them to keep tabs. There are numerous programs that allow you to get snapshots of your kids social media activity. If you decide to install them have a conversation with your kids so they know why.</p>  <p>If any threats are ever made or harassment is taken to a level that deems a call to law enforcement, don’t hesitate to make the call.</p>  <p>Robert Siciliano personal security expert to <a href=\"http://www.homesecuritysource.com/Blogs.aspx?AuthorName=Robert%20Siciliano\">Home Security Source</a> discussing <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpHdaC82Uk\">home security and identity theft</a> on TBS Movie and a Makeover.<a href=\"http://www.homesecuritysource.com/community-guidelines.aspx#blog-disclosure\"> Disclosures</a>.</p>                         </p></div><div class='RSS_Entry'><h1><a href='http://activerain.com/blogsview/1846262/energy-auditing-municipal-buildings-in-alpine-utah-like-the-city-hall-library-and-court-buildings' target='new'>Energy Auditing Municipal Buildings in Alpine, Utah, like the city hall, library and court buildings</a></h1><h2>9/8/2010 11:51:15 PM</h2><p><p>Energy Auditing&nbsp;Municipal Buildings&nbsp;for the city of&nbsp;Alpine, Utah&nbsp;| Information gathered from&nbsp;any&nbsp;Utah&nbsp;energy audits&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;city government buildings in Utah County can be used to determine energy efficiency, retrofitting and weatherization projects.

But perhaps the most inventive are the scams that appear to originate from the IRS. It makes perfect sense for the IRS to reach out regarding your finances. And regardless of the season, the IRS is really always in business.</p>  <p>I’ve never received a call or an email from the IRS. As far as I know, they do not make calls or send emails. Emails that seem to come from the IRS will often have a name, title, and even “IRS” at the beginning or end of the email address. However, email addresses can easily be spoofed.</p>  <p>Unless you are actively engaged in dialog with an IRS agent, do not respond to emails or phone calls supposedly coming from the IRS.</p>  <p>If a scammer posing as an IRS agent ever contacts you, they may already have some of your personal information, which they can use to try to convince you that they are actually from the IRS. This data could come from public records or even your trash. The scammer will often put pressure on you to comply with their request, or even offer you a tax refund.</p>  <p>If you ever receive documentation in the mail indicating earned income that you are not aware of, it may mean that someone else has used your Social Security number to gain employment.</p>  <p>If, when filing your tax return, you receive a letter from the IRS saying that you have already filed, it almost certainly means that someone else has filed a fraudulent return on your behalf in order to steal your refund.</p>  <p>If you are ever a victim of an identity theft issue related to an IRS scam, you may be very disappointed in the way it is handled via the various government agencies. They simply don’t allocate the resources to fix this problem proactively, nor are they adept at responding once it has occurred. The biggest issue is the thief’s privacy. Even if you have an idea who may have done it, the IRS or any other government agency will not release that information. Either way, knowing who did it won’t help you.</p>    <p>All you can do in the event of tax related identity theft is to follow the IRS’s instructions for contacting an agent and resolving the issue. Just be patient, as rectifying the issue may take many hours.</p>  <p><a href=\"http://www.mcafeeidprotection.com/\" target=\"_blank\">McAfee Identity Protection</a> includes proactive identity surveillance to monitor subscribers’ credit and personal information and access to live fraud resolution agents who can help subscribers work through the process of resolving identity theft issues.

If you have a sweet tooth (like I do), you NEED to head to At The Candy Shop in downtown Danville! This feast for the eyes as well as the mouth has been wildly popular since it opened in early 2009.</p>  <p>A true candy lover's dream the store has the expected<img title=\"Candy Bins\" src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/8/9/1/2/ar128388118521988.jpg\" height=\"131\" alt=\"Candy Bins\" style=\"margin: 10px 25px; float: right;\" width=\"175\" />&nbsp;rainbow of Jelly Belly and M&amp;M dispensers. But here you will also find candy you may not have seen in some time - remember Charleston Chews, Necco Wafers and Chick-O-Stix? They're all here. Are you a Choc-aholic? Head over to the glass case chock full of chocolate covered temptations.</p>  <p><img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/8/2/5/3/ar128387861435281.JPG\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin: 25px; float: left;\" width=\"200\" /></p>  <p>And if even after all this mouth-watering you actually get thirsty, there's a refrigerator case stocked with a variety of sodas (remember Jolt?)</p>  <p>According to the store's <a href=\"http://www.atthecandyshop.com/Home.html\">website</a>, the owner, a father of two young children, wanted to provide a happy and inviting place for kids. He definitely succeeded. You cannot help but be happy in this colorful sugar oasis. Aside from the amazing array of confections, the store also carries unique gifts and toys. Many are items parents will recognize from their own childhoods. I've bought my son his fair share of pinewood glider kits. But one of his favorite gadgets purchased here was the \"Pickle-Pult\"(exactly what it sounds like but with tiny plastic pickles).</p>  <p>Needless to say, when we take the kids to At The Candy Shop, we end up lingering over the immense variety they've managed to display in a small store (it's a good thing candy is relatively small!). If you're planning a trip, and especially if you're towing small ones, plan to stay a spell. And don't be surprised if you end up leaving with far more than you planned on.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img title=\"More Candy Bins\" src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/0/2/9/8/ar12838796189205.JPG\" height=\"113\" alt=\"More Candy Bins\" style=\"margin: 25px; float: right;\" width=\"99\" /><img title=\"Candy Bar\" src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/2/2/1/4/ar12838789641229.JPG\" height=\"113\" alt=\"Candy Bar\" style=\"margin: 25px; float: right; vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"150\" /></p>  <p>Getting there couldn't be easier. Whether you travel to Danville from the north or south, exit Diablo road and go West. You will literally run straight into the store as Diablo Road ends on Hartz Avenue. Keep going straight into the driveway of the Clock Tower shops and you will find ample parking. If you make this store one of your favorites your life will no doubt be sweeter for it...but better put your dentist on speed-dial!</p><div class=\"agent_signature\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/7/6/7/ar126817590576793.jpg\" height=\"38\" alt=\"Cari Anderson Tri Valley Mortgage Expert\" width=\"500\" /></p>  <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.diversifiedmg.com/index.php?/View-user-profile.html?user=65\" target=\"_self\"><img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/8/2/2/1/ar12643023312286.png\" height=\"53\" alt=\"Diversified Mortgage Group\" width=\"96\" style=\"vertical-align: bottom;\" /></a></p>  <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http://www.linkedin.com/in/dougandcarianderson\" target=\"_blank\"></a><span><span style=\"font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: small;\">&nbsp; <a href=\"http://twitter.com/CariAndDoug\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/4/0/7/6/ar126444472767043.png\" height=\"35\" alt=\"CariAndDoug Twitter\" width=\"35\" /></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"http://trivalleymortgagemaze.com/rss\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/3/1/7/9/ar126444516297133.png\" height=\"35\" alt=\"CariAndDougRSS\" width=\"35\" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.linkedin.com/pub/cari-anderson/14/21/992\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/3/7/0/5/ar126506454750738.png\" height=\"35\" alt=\"CariAndDougLinkedIn\" width=\"35\" /></a></span></span></span></span></p>  <p><span><span style=\"font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: small;\"><span>  </span></span></span></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>925.964.1213 Direct // 925.570.0613 Mobile&nbsp;</strong></p>  </span></span></span></p>  <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http://www.carianddoug.com/\" target=\"_self\">Cari's Website</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><a href=\"http://trivalleymortgagemaze.com/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Tri Valley Mortgage News</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><a href=\"http://activerain.com/blogs/carianddoug\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>East Bay Mortgage News</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong></span></span></p>  <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: andale mono,times;\"><span>Cari CA Real Estate Broker License 01220718...NMLS License ID 234849</span></span></span></p></div></blockquote></div><div class=\"agent_signature\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino;\">&nbsp;<strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Thinking of Buying, Selling or would like a complementary Market Analysis?
