Why my house is dusty
So today I changed my filters. The recommended life of these filters are 90 days. So 3 months ago I changed the filters and now its time to change them again. Amazing what can happen in 90 days, and now I know why my house is so dusty!

Blogging and Literacy -- Teaming Up for the Holidays
The Virginia Literacy Foundation, PharrOut LLC, and RVABlogs.com announce their second annual holiday fundraising effort supporting the fight against illiteracy in Virginia.
Richmond, VA (PRWeb) December 9, 2006 -- The Virginia Literacy Foundation, PharrOut LLC, and RVABlogs.com announce their second annual holiday fundraising effort supporting the fight against illiteracy in Virginia.
Through RVABlogs.com, PharrOut LLC and the Virginia Literacy Foundation (VLF) hope to reach out to Richmond's blogging community in a unique awareness and fundraising campaign. Bloggers can learn about VLF at RVABlogs.com, donate through a secure paypal account, and access the code to add the fundraising graphic and link to their own blog - thus allowing their blog readers to do the same.
"The response last year was amazing," said Scott Pharr, co-owner of PharrOut LLC. "Although PharrOut supports nonprofit groups throughout the year, the holiday season proved to be the perfect time to bring the Richmond blogging community and the non-profit community together. Supporting and promoting the Virginia Literacy Foundation is a natural fit since bloggers have an inherent interest in literacy…without reading and writing there would be no blogs."
The Virginia Literacy Foundation provides funding and technical support to private, volunteer literacy organizations throughout Virginia through challenge grants and direct consultation. These organizations support K-4th grade-level adult readers with one-on-one instruction and tutoring. The VLF also works in partnership with all public and private literacy organizations in Virginia to attack illiteracy in the workplace and to provide family literacy training.
Developed by local Web development firm PharrOut LLC, RVABlogs.com (www.RVABlogs.com) acts as a blog aggregator - collecting posts from Richmond area blogs to a common site and promoting a sense of community amongst these bloggers.

Unprecedented step by Charlottesville judge....
Charlottesville, VA-- A seven-year-old boy was
at the center of a Charlottesville courtroom drama yesterday
when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of
him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents, and the
judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child
custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained.
The boy surprised the court when
he proclaimed that his Aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he
live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the
unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have
custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references
and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Virginia Cavaliers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
