ERGONOMICS??? - 02/29/08 05:26 PM
Anyone remember that term? I thought about it recently because in this slowdown I am spending more time at my computer than I have in the past. I remember passing up those strange looking chairs for that tall leather bound chair that looked so good in the store. It still looks good but my back looks like spaghetti. So I went back to see what I should be doing.
Put the computer monitor from 20 to 40 inches from your eyes. The midpoint should be 15 to 20 degrees below eye level. Keep your back straight in your chair. When you talk … (1 comments)

Where Is David Wright? - 02/29/08 05:16 PM
David Wright of the New York Mets recently purchased a condo at Harbour Heights. One day you may catch him shopping at "The Market at Harbor Heights". Of course his condo needs to be competed first. The project is off to a good start with 59 of the 99 units under contract. He probably asked for privacy so you won't see any big party when he moves in. Would have been good for business.

Brown Pelican Thrives - 02/29/08 04:42 PM
This guy is 4 feet tall and has a wing span over six feet and is thriving here in our area. In fact it seems to be everywhere. I was at Rudee Inlet the other day and there must have been thirty brown pelicans hanging out. They wait for the fishing boats to come in and try to feast. They certainly are impressive when you see them plunging headlong from the air into the water and rising with a mouthful of fish. The pelicans are on the states' "species of concern" which means they have no legal protection but the state monitors them. … (0 comments)

Fines For No Rental Inspections - 02/27/08 09:15 PM
Landlords since 2005 were required to have their apartments inspected before renting them. That was good except there was no penalty if you didn't get them inspected. Now the city has closed that loophole. It is now a Class U misdemeanor which is similar to a code violation. The fines could be as much as $2,500 but no jail time. I think this will get the attention of landlords who failed to get the inspections in the past.

Soap Scum Got You Down? - 02/27/08 08:21 PM
How do I clean the soap scum in the shower? I have used bleach, nylon pot scrubber, baking soda, dishwasher Magic, X-14 and White Rain Shampoo or any white shampoo will do. They all work in their own way. The best way I have found is to do away with soap and use a liquid type soap to wash with. For some reason that does not leave a film or scum on the shower.

Tired Of A Moldy Bathroom? - 02/27/08 08:17 PM
How can you tell the difference between mold and mildew? Well mildew is almost never inside your house unless it is on your plants. Mold can usually be detected by smell if you want to get close. If you suspect you have mold, paint it with a bit of household bleach. If it changes color or disappears it was mold. You can kill it with a weak solution of 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water. Let it sit for 15 minutes or so and then flush with water. To keep the mold from coming back, you need to find the source of … (0 comments)

How About A Sleepover - 02/27/08 08:08 PM
I haven't seen it in our area yet but I read about places that are offering to have the buyer spend the night in the home they are looking at. The idea is get the buyer comfortable with the house and the surrounding area. Kind of like test driving a vehicle I guess. Any one had any experience with this?

Tarleton Oaks - 02/26/08 08:24 PM
Location, location, location.
That seems to be one of the biggest attractions of The Reserve at Tarleton Oaks, a newer condominium complex in Virginia Beach.
The community of 148 homes was constructed in 2002 on Kempsville Road next to City View Park.
The area is right at the city's border with Chesapeake and is sandwiched between Greenbrier and Kempsville. Just a few miles away is Greenbrier Mall and the numerous other retail stores, restaurants, banks and grocery stores of the Greenbrier area. Interchanges leading to several of the area's highways are also just a few miles away.

Walmart and Cracker Barrel Coming Soon - 02/25/08 07:38 PM
A Wal-Mart and Cracker Barrel will be coming to Edinburgh soon but only after the city agreed to pay $4.5 million in road improvements. The developers of the Edinburgh West subdivision will kick in about $6.5 million themselves for the improvements. The city is putting in the money to make the improvements it feels are needed to make the roads right. The developer would have made the improvements needed but we all know they only do what is absolutely necessary. Hurray for the city on this one.

Tasers On The Streets - 02/25/08 07:32 PM
Now the police will be armed with Tasers just like the criminals. The difference is the police are trained in using the device and know what it can do. Before the device is used, the officers must go through training. Some of them even get to experience the painful bolt of electricity delivered from the two probes shot from the Taser. The devices are supposed to be for combative and aggresive people as well as some armed criminals.

Holiday Inn To Be Razed - 02/25/08 07:25 PM
If all goes according to plan, the Holiday Inn will be razed. It will make way for a three phase project that will include up to 240 apartments, 211 condos, 29,000 sq ft of retail and 120,000 sq ft of office space. Other projects in Norfolk have stalled but this project looks to get off the ground running. The stumbling block could be the $14 million Portsmouth would have to put out for infrastructure and grants. The city is already hurting from a failing economy but this may be worth investing in for the long term.

Lakeland High School Band Has A Higher Calling - 02/20/08 12:07 PM
Alvin Wilson II is the director of the band and wants to see it go higher and further. To that end, the practices are harder and he advocates the band members prepare more strenuously, like running as much as two miles a day. The new attitude has paid off with nine trophies last fall. All were first place. The performances are more of a variety show now then just a single style performance. Wilson is also touring middle schools' to try and drum up new band members. There are 75 now and he wants to increase that number to 150.

School Budget Gets Small Increase - 02/20/08 10:34 AM
With the smallest funding increase in years the schools get few new programs but 3.5% raise for most of the staff. As it is, the budget of $724.8 million is 2.5% higher then last year. Some staff were cut and changes to the retirement/health care benefits saved some money so the budget wouldn't be to much. Let's hope it is enough to keep our schools competitive.

In my quest to make this house look better I took several peoples advice on the board. The result is the third photo. I shot a blue sky and put it around the house. I don't think I stepped over the bounds as the house now looks like it would on a sunny day. The picture was also taken on a ladder as it sits up on a hill and you have to look up at it. I still like the head on shot rather then the second one which is off to one side but would consider it depending on the house. I also … (9 comments)

Public Health Building to Go Downtown - 02/13/08 06:52 PM
In a turn of events, city council is considering moving the proposed Public Health Building from Kings Fork Rd/Pruden Blvd to "The Fairgrounds" in downtown Suffolk. The building would go on a piece of land that needs compacting because of prior building. It will add to the expense but will mean the building would be closer to the people who need it. Lets' hope the council moves forward on this proposal.

Workout Clothes Smelly? - 02/13/08 06:28 PM
This isn't a new real estate gadget but it might come in handy when trying to talk to someone at the gym. Even when I wash my workout clothes, those new aged microfiber ones, they still seem to smell like me after a workout. What I didn't know is that those wonderful little fibers trap bacteria and sweat. Normal detergents can't get them out. There is a new detergent called Win High Performance that uses oxidization to not only get that trapped stuff out but also rejuvenates the fabirc's moisture-wicking properties.

Hula Hoops Are Back - 02/13/08 04:42 PM
Not the newest but the newest thing in exercise. Hula Hoops. Who would figure. You can go ask Paula Brown who hangs out at the corner of Cromwell Parkway and Granby St. It is a common-sense approach to aerobics. The newer hoops which are made for exercising are heavier than the original plastic hoops. This gives you more of a good workout.

Habitat For Humanity Approved - 02/13/08 04:30 PM
A stalled town-home proposal off I 264 in Virginia Beach has been approved. The problem is because of the location. The six town-home complex is in the 65-70 decibel noise zone around Oceana. There is some concern about drainage there also. The city had hoped to maybe transfer some different land with Habitat for Humanity but that didn't happen. The council is trying to limit growth in that area to comply with the navies wishes.

Harbour Point is a unique complex of Condominums right on Rudee Inlet. You won't find a better looking complex at the oceanfront.
Built between 1984 and 1986 by the Dragas Companies, the complex has 12 buildings with 172 units. Most first- and second-floor units have 1,200 square feet, two bedrooms and two baths with fireplaces and wrap-around balconies. Third-floor condos have 1,300 square feet. The extra 100 square feet results in a loft in the master bedroom complete with skylights. Some units also have boat slips.
All units in the 401 building overlook Rudee Inlet, have 1,145 square feet and have two bedrooms. These condos … (4 comments)

Most were some type of black bird but there were hundreds of robins. My local birds were there as well and weren't going to be run off. The blue bird wasn't intimidated by anyone. What a sight.

Mine is smaller and not quite as nice but the other one is priced extremely competitively. The day after I list mine, the other drops his price by $11,000 making mine look overpriced!!!. Of course my seller can drop his price but he can't ever match the others price. The difference is my seller bought in 2005 for $275,000 and the other seller bought new in 2002 for $189,000.

Building Gone But Church Lives On - 02/06/08 07:12 PM
The Zion Baptist Church building was destroyed in a fire recently. The building had stood since 1894 but other buildings had served the church since 1865. Blacks had split off from the mother church for many reasons and was the first church owned in Portsmouth by blacks. The church meets in an auditorium at the Sheriff's Academy at Randolph and Green streets. The Rev. Thomas T. Shields thinks god doesn't want him to build a church building but to build ministries.

New Meaning for "Cub Scout" - 02/06/08 06:51 PM
5 month old lion cubs, Granby and Neka, made their first public outing a few weeks ago. I wasn't able to make it but was told that the rainy weather didn't stop the cubs from having a good time playing with each other. Neka is the female and appears to be the more aggressive of the two. She has been seen fighting her mom Zola, for food and tearing at the mane of her father Mramba. I don't have any pictures but you can follow this link to the cub cam and if you are lucky you can watch from your computer screen.

Suffolk's Next City Manager - 02/06/08 04:40 PM
No job application? Wow that's pretty good but considering that Selena Cuffee-Glen has been with the city since 2005, maybe none was needed. She won Vice Mayor Curtis Milteer over on a trip to New York. City officials were trying to get the nations top three bond rating agencies to improve the cities outlook financially. Cuffee-Glenn played an important role and two of the three agencies responded by withdrawing their "negative outlook". Most everybody thought of her when Jim Johnson, the current city manager, announced his retirement. There was talk of looking outside but sometimes it pays to promote from within.

No Smoking Gains Support - 02/01/08 07:04 PM
Gov. Kaine has called for a statewide ban on smoking in restaurants and bars. Kaine was recently at the Hot Una Bar & Grill when he made the announcement. The Hot Tuna is already a smoke-free restaurant. There is sure to be lively debate on this subject seeing on how Virginia kind of grew up on tobacco. Several cities including Virginia Beach have asked the legislature to let them ban smoking in restaurant and bars. Stay tuned.

Fairmont Park - 02/01/08 06:39 PM
Fairmont Park was established around 1904 and the lots started at $92.00. As a place for homes it didn't really take off for twenty years. Then it was found by World War 1 vets and off it went. The streets were named for famed battles such as Verdun, Marne, Bapaume, the bloddy Somme and the infamos Vimy Ridge. The leaders are also acknowledge with streets such as Pershing and Kitchener. Next time you take a trip through Norfolk, take a trip through Fairmont Park and remember the fallen heros.
