"Dreams come true; without that possibility nature would not incite us to have them."  John Updike Have you met a house you liked? That may sound funny to you. But the longer I'm in the business, the more I find that homes have personalities. To really get to know a home, you need some background. You need a proper introduction to the area, the neighborhood, the features, the amenities, and even some of the challenges. Visit my website at www.RichmondVAHomes4Sale.com to get an early introduction to your new home. Be sure to check out the dream home finder. In the meantime, as you search my website for homes, if there are homes on the market that you would like to 'meet', you can go ahead and schedule a showing.

Saturday’s Richmond race provided almost enough excitement to cover for the lack thereof in a few other races this season. The first half of the race did not as much follow that script, as Denny Hamlin led nearly every lap and there were few cautions. Just past the race’s 2nd half, on lap 233, 11 [...]

A few years ago Denny Hamlin took in the action at Richmond International Raceway from the turn four grandstand. This year he caught all the excitement from the best seat in the house, Victory lane. Hamlin, a Virginia native has dreamed of winning at the three-quarter mile bull ring that was just down the road [...]

"Everybody probably is racing around the race track scared to death of wrecking Dale Earnhardt Jr., so why wouldn't I be any different?'' Busch said. "But that was just a product of good hard racing and I apologize that it happened and I hate it that it did. If I wanted to do it deliberately I would have waited until the last lap where I probably still could have won the race."I'll say it again, its just unfortunate circumstances for him because he didn't get a win, and for me because now I've got to put up with it.'' (you smart ass punk, I wish I could punch you right in the mouth for that comment)Without seeing a replay, Earnhardt guessed that it wasn't deliberate. But as his winless streak reached 72 races on the two-year anniversary of his last victory, he wondered if Busch would need

Stormfront has initiated a discussion thread, which may be found here, in defense of the Saint Benedict Center in Richmond, New Hampshire. Information on the Stormfront website may be found at Wikipedia.According to Wikipedia:"The Stormfront White Nationalist Community is a white supremacist Internet forum.

****NOTE*******NASCAR.COM is unofficially stating a 7th place finish. According to my Track Pass Race View, FoxSports and other sources.....it was a six place finish.

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."  Les BrownThat's good advice for space travel.  And it could encourage an actor to continue their rehearsals until they make it to Carnegie Hall.  However it's not a proven strategy for buying real estate. As a homebuyer your question might be: "How will I know how much to offer?" Who will help you decide? Does a home seller or their listing agent worry about you getting a good deal on your purchase? "NO!" The seller and the seller's agent are concerned primarily about their interests, not yours. My customers have benefited from my attending to their concerns. You can, too.  When we work together I will work to make sure you find the right home for your nee

However, I am grateful to all of you guys that still swing by here once in a while to check up on things!Anyways, earlier last week went went for a Korean meal in Richmond--samgyeopsal and samgyetang to be exact! This has only been the second time we've had Korean since we arrived back in Canada. You can read about our first encounter in Coquitlam here.Why you ask? Well, I think we both had more than enough of our fair share during our time teaching English in Korea. Plus, it's so darn hard to eat anything else but delicious and cheap Chinese food in Ricemond!So our restaurant this time around was none other than Ky

Why Use an e-Pro? An e-PRO is a REALTOR who has successfully completed the e-PRO training program for real estate professionals. Endorsed by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), the e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: Web sites, email, on-line tools, and most of all, what today's consumer really wants.  e-PRO certification places one in the top 1% of all Realtors in the nation. Should you use an e-PRO?Yes -- especially if you're an Internet user. In this fast-paced age, technology has become a necessity. An e-PRO is someone who has recognized and responded to the needs of the new consumer, saving them time and expense.  If you choose an e-PRO, it's a safe bet you'll get the kind of service you want -- a

One of them places, my cousin brought us to , was this restaurant in Richmond. Unfortunately for me, I have forgotten what this place is called, and in Richmond, you have many Pho houses on that particular street. We also walked into a few Vietnamese provision shops to look at the abundance of food stuff we can buy for cooking Asian Food.So, when we walked in, the restaurant was already quite full. Mind you it was about 12pm, not exactly lunch time, at least not for us. We were just doing brunch. The reason why I did not remember much of it was because I did not do the ordering nor did I pay much attention to its menu.My cousin ordered this mini fried popiah, which was quite tasty. To eat this fried spring roll, we were given a bowl of sweet chilli sauce , which tasted like less starchy Thai Chilli Sauce.As an additional side dish for our noodles, we were given this plate of beansprouts, and mint leaves (really reminds me of ULAM). We were to squeeze a bit of lemon onto the sala

It's been a while since I've posted about food back home, so why not take a look at what we had for my dad's recent birthday dinner in Richmond? For the past two months he's been coming over from Victoria to practice for his entry in a Pro-Am ballroom dance competition! He placed 1st and 2nd in the two heats he entered...way to go dad!Let's break down what happens at a typical Chinese dinner (well in my family anyways). Since it was a birthday celebration for my dad (and my sister's BF), we decided to have some king crab (read about my king crab in Seoul experience here). First things first, the waiter will always bring you a crab to "display" it at the table. It's like deciding on a bottle of wine and having the server show you the bottle before he opens it--except sometimes I wonder if the crab you picked is the actual one they serve you! Next time, I'm going to initial each leg and the shell with a Sharpie to make sure...Our appetizer consisted of BBQ roast pork surrounded b

Elvis Presley established himself as an American musical icon with hits such as “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock.” Davison client Joe Milliker is hoping for his own hit with a phone designed to resemble Elvis.

At the website of the Saint Benedict Center (Richmond, New Hampshire), there is a response to the Chronicle episode which aired last Thursday. According to the SBC, "A fraudulent claim that the followers of Father Feeney are 'not Catholic' went uncorrected."This is false on two levels. First of all, I never made the claim that all of those who have a love for Fr. Feeney are "not Catholic." There are communities in Still River, Massachusetts which have been regularized and which are in communion with the Church. These communities have not embraced - and propagated - a rabid anti-Semitism.However, I was referring to the Saint Benedict Center in Richmond, New Hampshire. In a letter to Mrs. Terri O'Rorke (which was referenced in the Chronicle piece) we read:"I write to you in reply to your letter dated May 24, 2007. I share your concern about the ongoing controversy and difficulties with the Saint Benedict Center. As you know, the Saint Benedict Center has no permission or authority to

When you're in Richmond, BC, also known as the Hong Kong of Canada (orHongcouver) as some may see it, you end up eating a variety of cuisine. When you're not experiencing the chaos of a plane flying into a condo, you're eating. On this occasion we went out for hot pot at Garden City Hot Pot (it's on Garden City Road of course).As some of you may already know, hot pot is where you cook raw ingredients in boiling broth of your choice. The concept is similar to shabu shabu that we experienced in Korea. Some say hot pot is healthy but when you consider how salty and addictive the sauces are (you dip eat bite in a soya sauce mixture andother MSG-laden sauces) I would think the opposite!Normally when we go out for hot pot we go to all you can eat places for the best deal. Too bad this wasn't the case at Garden City Hot Pot! My sister likes this place so we went here with her and her best friend. We ended up ordering too much and literally paid the price for it! The food was identical to

Hey everyone...some crazy news! As you may have heard, a plane crashed into an apartment tower in Richmond, BC! The crazy thing is that this apartment complex is the same tower where my sister used to live! We were banking at the time and then I ran home and got my SLR (this happened a block away from where I currently reside. Check out the following pictures taken with my 70-300mm IS (non DO)! One person has been reported dead, the pilot. Right now, there are a bunch of reporters reporting live on CTV, CBC, and other news outlets!We ran into one of our old neighbors outside of the building. She said she felt the building shake, then got a call from a neighbor that a plane had crashed into the building! So of course she evacuated the scene pretty quickly! Good thing we don't live there anymore, as I'm curious about the structural integrity of the tower after this impact!The scene from Tsim Chai Noodles across the street from the Richmond Public Market:The view from inside RPM; imagin

Crystal McKinney Online Prayer Request Heavenly Father, I am terrified of the city my family and I live in. I am not from the Richmond area however, since I have moved here I have seen more crap on the news than my country hometown. Lord, Please help all of these troubled folks that commit these terrible crimes daily. I want them to hear your voice and listen before they do something to harm someone, please help them develop a concious. Please show them somehow in their dreams or any way possible that would make them think twice before they commit harm to another being. I want my children, husband and I to be safe from the harmful individuals, so we can live the life we know God wants us to live. I hope my children grow up to be very old and well loved, never harmed from anyone and I will do my absolute best to teach them correct values so they will not end up like these awful criminals that kill in broad daylight. Lord please also continue to watch over my family and keep us s

  This past May, I began a 6-month, 16-day leadership training course offered by my employer. I spend 2-4 days each month at the Virginia Crossings Resort just north of Richmond, Virginia. Since I’m spending so much time down there this year, I thought I’d snap a photo to share. These are my first business trips, so I’ve finally had a reason to use my corporate credit card. I’ve learned that business travel tends to involve a lot of eating. We’ve gone out for everything from deep dish pizza to steaks. Last Thursday night, when we went bowling in the evening, I scored an all time high of 157. At last week’s session, we also learned a little more about the full day Challenge Discovery program we would be doing in September. Basically, it’s a series of physical and mental activities we’ll be completing in teams. I’ve always wanted to do a team building exercise of this nature. If it involves helmets, ropes, and liability

Headed toward financial crisisThe problem: Higher costs, shortage of fundsBy Bryan Marshall, Richmond Register:(Editor’s note: This is the first story in a three-part series about funding issues in Madison County and other Kentucky school districts.)After nearly $2 million in cuts in the 2007-08 tentative budget, it is no secret that the Madison County School District is in a financial crunch.The budget approved in May had several staff reductions, including nine teaching positions, 10 full-time substitutes, four and a half teacher aides, 11 and a half special education teachers, six special education aides, one speech position and a technology position.Other cuts included 14 bus drivers and 10 bus aides, a reduction of bus purchases from 10 to five, about $300,000 reduction in technology purchases and an extended day for all district employees.The savings of the reductions were about $1.6 to 1.8 million, said Glenn Marshall, acting superintendent.The reasoning for the cuts arose out

Mr. Tom Matson, a technology consultant who resides in Cheshire County and who frequently leaves comments at the SBC Watch Blog, has just reported the following: Stormfront, a notorious White Supremacist organization, has initiated a discussion thread at their website: http://www.stormfront.org/, which begins with this lead:"SPLC stirring up trouble in New HampshireA small sect of traditionalist Catholics have lived peacefully in rural Richmond, New Hampshire for more than twenty years. The group, known as the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, established a retreat in the quiet town during the 1980's, which they call the Saint Benedict Center, building a convent, a monastery, a church, and a school, raising families, going about their business and committed to leading spiritual lives in the bucolic, out-of-the-way village.All that is about to change.

By Bruce Martin PA SportsTicker Contributing Editor RICHMOND, Virginia (Ticker) - At the beginning of the 2007 IndyCar season, Dan Wheldon started out as the man to beat for the title.

Richmond Heights is 90 years old this year (it was Incorporated in 1917) . Just over 10,000 people live there, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. Current stats show the High School has a 95% graduation rate and one of the major industries in town is the General Electric Lamp Glass Company. According to the latest edition of the City newsletter, Miss Ohio 2007 is a Richmond Heights gal (Anna Melomud). The newsletter also mentions some recommended home safety maintenance tips you might want to check out on page six. Most homes in this community are 30 years old or younger; 30 years ago is when most of the City's development began to occur. So what's happened in the housing market here since January 2007? Let's take a look:34 Homes have sold since the beginning of the year. Here are the averages on these homes:1,880 square feet of living space; 3 BRs, 2 BA, and a two car garage.

Yesterday, Richmond columnist Don McNay tossed in his two-cents worth on Barbara Erwin's resume problems in his article, Unbridled Typos.""...[Dr.] Erwin may need a remedial course in typing. She also might need a course in semantics. In my high school grammar classes, we used different words than Ms. Erwin for incorrect information. One popular definition was “a lie.” Other definitions were “a falsehood” or “a misrepresentation.” “Typo” never made the list...""...If Ms. Erwin can teach me how to pad my resume and blow it off as a “typo,” she might be worth the money Kentucky is paying her...""...I am distraught that Kentucky would hire an education commissioner whose knowledge of typing and semantics are so weak.

So the Crown Royal 400 at Richmond for the Nextel Cup Series just finished up a couple minutes ago with Jimmie Johnson winning with his Hendrick Teammates dominated this race thought, I did notice something with the Hendrick cars including Johnson's, his right front tire is cambered in/out - meaning the top of the tire is leaned in so much with the bottom only looking like the inside is touching at all...interesting.Nevertheless, by the end of this race, most of these cars looked like they just finished a Demo Derby.Should NASCAR make the COT permanent in 2008? Simply put, YES, still I would like to see NASCAR add a couple more races to the COT schedule this year including the fall Charlotte, Atlanta and Homestead races to show everyone just what this car is going to be like.I would also like to see the COT in the Nextel AllStar Challenge at Charlotte in a couple of weeks too, but that's little notice for everyone.I am beginning to like this Car of Tomorrow for its good racing and ma
