A lovelorn urbanite who has spent nearly a decade trying to win back his ex-girlfriend gets involved in a romantic case of mistaken ethnicity in director Jason Todd Ipson's warmhearted relationship comedy. It's been eight years since Jake's girlfriend left him, and despite the fact that she's now married with three children, he refuses to move on. Fed up with their depressive pal's unwillingness to let go of the past, Jake's friends set him up on a blind date with a beautiful Italian woman from Boston's North End. Though Jake is convinced that such a woman would never even consider dating a non-Italian, a quick crash course in how to fake it may prove just the trick to helping him learn to love once again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When the lone survivor of the original excursion to The House on Haunted Hill dies under suspicious circumstances, her sister returns to the foreboding mansion to solve the mystery of her sibling's death in the feature directorial debut of former make-up special effects artist Victor Garcia (Hellboy). Back in 1931, malevolent doctor Richard Vannacut and his entire staff at the hilltop asylum were killed when the patients revolted and set the institution ablaze. Ever since then, rumors have persisted that the spirits of those consumed in the inferno still haunt the hospital. Those rumors seemed to be confirmed when, in 1999, billionaire Steven H. Price and his guests were viciously slaughtered in the refurbished mansion. Though the authorities officially blamed Price himself for the gruesome massacre, survivor Sarah Wolfe insists that there was indeed a supernatural element at play. Now, eight years have passed since that fateful night, and Sarah's sister Ariel - a successful editor at a popular men's fashion magazine - has just received word that Sarah has committed suicide. Immediately sensing foul play, Ariel's suspicions are confirmed when a strange book arrives in the mail shortly thereafter. Sent by Sarah just before she died, the book proves to be Vannacut's personal diary. According to the diary, which Ariel manages to translate with a little help from archeologist Richard Hammer, an ancient Baphomet idol is hidden somewhere deep within the sprawling estate. In her last days, Sarah had become convinced that the idol was the source of the house's evil. Richard, too, shares this belief, and with the help of graduate students Michelle and Kyle he is determined to find the idol. But Ariel isn't about to go on a ghost hunt in the same mansion where so may atrocities have occurred, at least not until she is kidnapped by Desmond Niles and his vicious band of mercenaries. They too seek the Baphomet idol, and they too will soon discover why few people who venture into the former asylum ever come out alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Imagine being trapped inside a forest ranger station with your loved ones - and praying for your life as a fearsome, carnivorous creature lurks outside, waiting to clean up. This is the fate that befalls the young Danielle St. Claire (Cerina Vincent) and her boyfriend, Justin(Dominic Zamprogna) one evening, in acclaimed TV producer Stephen J. Cannell's made-for-television frightfest, It Waits. Traumatized by a recent auto accident that killed her friend - in which she was driving - St. Claire exiles herself to a ranger station in the San Bernardino Mountains. Meanwhile, a group of archaeology students from Princeton unwittingly open a nearby cave and unleash a centuries-old demon - that heads straight for Danielle. Underplayed and subtle, director Stephen R. Monroe leaves the goriest and most gruesome details off camera, allowing terror to build in the viewer's mind. Cannell co-scripted in addition to executive producing. Eric Schweig co-stars. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

An encounter between two people with a shared past and conflicting futures is played out on a split-image screen in this offbeat drama. An unnamed man (Aaron Eckhart) and woman (Helena Bonham Carter) are enjoying drinks and cigarettes in a hotel room after attending a wedding reception. At first, the two seem to be playing a flirtatious game, as he cheerfully but confidently advances toward her, and she seems at once attracted and put off by his bravado. Their
pas de deux
is shot and edited in split screen, with his image appearing in one half of the divided frame and hers appearing in the other. As time wears on, the man and woman begin crossing their appointed boundaries, and in some sequences one half of the frame represents the present while the other shows us events in the past. We learn that the man and woman had a tempestuous affair when they were in their late teens, and both are now committed to other people -- she has a husband, while he has a steady girl. How will the experiences of their past affect their present, and are they willing to betray their lovers for an evening's pleasure? Conversations With Other Women was the first feature film from director Hans Canosa. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A psychopath cuts a bloody swath across Nevada in this gruesome horror story. The Photographer (Sven Garrett) is a nameless German fashion illustrator with an ugly past (his grandfather was a friend and associate of Adolf Hitler) and a profoundly violent nature. Working out of Las Vegas, The Photographer is a vicious serial killer who attacks men, women, and children with equal brutality. The Photographer periodically dates a woman named Charlotte (Valerie Baber), who has a younger sister named Jade (Jade Risser), but prefers to devote his spare time to mutilating Sin City's riffraff. Jade senses that there's something evil about her sister's boyfriend, and when Charlotte disappears, Jade begins playing amateur detective, unaware of just how dangerous her quarry truly is. According to the film's publicity materials, Murder-Set-Pieces features no fewer than 30 onscreen murders, and 55 gallons of stage blood were used during the shoot. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Five college buddies retreat to the woods for a little R & R and end up getting a horrific lesson in infectious disease in this low-budget shocker. Cabin Fever stars Rider Strong as the geeky Paul, who hopes to settle in around the campfire with his brash buds Jeff (Joey Kern) and Bert (James DeBello), and make the moves on the nubile-but-shy Karen (Jordan Ladd). Unfortunately, a wayward, forest-dwelling vagrant (Arie Verveen) stumbles into their lives, his skin badly desiccated by a mysterious virus. Fearing for their own lives, the quintet decide to do away with the man, with little success: He stumbles away from the campsite and into a nearby stream, where his disease quickly infects the local water supply. It isn't long before the oblivious co-eds get a taste of the man's illness, and in their desperation, each learns that he or she will stop at nothing to survive. Cabin Fever premiered at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival, where it was snapped up by Lions Gate for a fall 2003 release. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Former MTV executive Joel Gallen makes his feature directorial debut with this broad spoof of the popular teen comedy genre, lampooning dozens of movies including American Pie (1999), American Beauty (1999), Bring It On (2000), Clueless (1995), She's All That (1999), Road Trip (2000), Can't Hardly Wait (1998), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), Never Been Kissed (1999), and even the teen films of an earlier era such as The Breakfast Club (1985). At the aptly titled "John Hughes High School," aspiring artist Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) is an outcast because of her plain, bespectacled looks and paint-splattered overalls. Football hero Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) makes a bet that he can transform Janey into a gorgeous prom queen, a wager he may come to regret as he discovers Janey's true inner beauty. As their relationship blossoms, several other characters are limned, including a Nasty Cheerleader (Jaime Pressly), a Token Black Guy (Deon Richmond), a Stupid Fat Guy (Ron Lester), an Obsessed Best Friend (Eric Jungmann), an Undercover Reporter (Beverly Polcyn), the Cruelest Girl in School (Mia Kirshner), a Cocky Blonde Guy (Eric Christian Olsen), and several others. A nod to the multiple films that inspired it, Not Another Teen Movie (2001) was originally to have been entitled "Ten Things I Hate About Clueless Road Trips When I Can't Hardly Wait to Be Kissed." ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Ford's Theater The White House Don't know if the old Treasury Building [Chase's domain], War Dept. Bldg. [Stanton's domain], Navy Dept. Bldg. [Welle's hangout], the prison where the Lincoln assassins were held & hung, are still around. The National Gallery of Art has St. Gauden's original life-size plaster model for the monument to the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry. There are some remnants of the Ring Forts that surrounded DC during the war. National Archives has tons of ACW stuff, as probably does the Smithsonian. Behind the US Capitol is a Grant statue, IIRC.

You can eat Chinese food in the old Surratt Boarding House in Chinatown. Not the best Chinese food but not terrible either. The CW era treasury dept is still there next to the WH but the old war and navy department are gone. Go to the Navy yard and see their museum lots of unique CW relics there. Plus you can still see the building that supposedly has Eric Dahlgren's leg in its cornerstone put there by his father Admiral Dahlgren after the younger Dahlgren lost it at Gettysburg.

Old town Alexandria a quaint little place to visit, nice sites, torpedo factor, restaurants, great views of the river, D.C. from there. Easy to get to by metro, lets you off at the head of King St., just walk left from the train station toward the river. Parking can sometimes be hard to come by and if found rather pricey. Alexandria (not Arlington) Nat. Cemetery is nearby. Doc C |

The torpedo factory is really cool if your are down there. I used to live near enough to visit OT Alexandria rather frequently. NOW, one cool place to go if it is still open in the full capacity is Gadspy's Tavern. Though not a Civil War site per se (more revolutionary or pre-rev). George Washington and associates used to frequent it. When I lived up there they still served meals cooked the old fashioned way. The vegetable soup was terrific, and of course, they were dressed in period costume for the effect. One Major word of warning about the Metro right now, however, they are doing work on the yellow/blue lines. They are currently North of King St. Depending on time of day it caused quite a delay through that zone. You may want to check their work schedules first before planning a busy day. I took a pack of cub scouts to the White House a few weeks ago. Took us 2.5 hours to get from the Smithsonian stop to Springfield Franconia on the way home. |

Well, we're back from the weekend in the DC area. I noticed a statue that I think was General Meade--over near the Capital building, but we only caught a glimpse. We had a very hard time finding Frederick Douglas' home--got there at 4:00 on Friday--it was closed (even though the sign said open until 5:00). When we were in Arlington later I saw that they run tours over there, so maybe next time I can see it. Mt. Vernon was great, Old Town Alexandria was great--did the walking tour (in the 100 degree weather). Also saw Civil War-related sign near the Masonic Monument. The area was campground for a New York regiment. We were at the torpedo factory but didn't tour it. Also, when we drove by the National Arboretum in Washington DC (NW) we saw ruins of something that definitely looked Civil War related but I don't know yet what it was. Traffic in the area has become torture. |

We just got back from 5 great days in DC. Didn't get to as many sights as I had hoped to, but that's the way it goes. The Frederick Douglass House was the highlight. It is a beautifully-restored Victorian house that sits high on a hill. Most of the items in the house are original. The ranger gave a very informative talk on Douglass. For a former slave to be able to buy a home like that more than 100 years ago is amazing! He would be horrified to see the neighborhood now, though. I hadn't been to DC in ten years. Anacostia obviously is still horrible. But Adams Morgan has had a nice revival. The Eastern Market metro area looked a bit better, too. In my walks about, I found statues of McClellan (Dupont Circle), Sherman (near the White House), Grant (in front of Capitol). Happened upon a nice memorial to the Iron Brigade at Arlington in addition to the lovely memorial to Gen. Kearny. We also took in the Evening Parade at the Marine Barracks. It never disappoints. |

Lynchburg, Va., is a flourishing and historic city of more than 29,600. The isolated and geographically pleasing city is located at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Virginia border. About 180 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., Lynchburg residents see their city as a freestanding center of regional economy and trade. This family-friendly Southern city is sure to impress those searching for Lynchburg apartments for rent.
Lynchburg got its start in the mid-18th century, when the Lynch family saw an opportunity for a ferry service on the James River. After the American Revolution, the village at Lynch's Ferry had become an important regional center. By 1786, a charter was granted to create Lynchburg. The city grew over the years, but never lost its small-town feel or nostalgic Virginia charm. The region is home to many significant aspects of American history, including the nation's first tobacco warehouse, Poplar Forest and the Tennessee Railroad. Lynchburg offers vibrant economic opportunity, a high quality of life and a sense of place that few cities of its size are able to create.
Lynchburg is a great location to live and raise a family. The city's mature greenery, hilly landscape and interesting architecture make it an aesthetically pleasing place to call home. Numerous city neighborhoods allow for peaceful residential living while a resurging downtown center provides a haven for urbanites. The city has made numerous improvements to its riverfront, old streets, parks and public places, greatly increasing the quality of life for its residents.
Lynchburg residents have always expressed concern for maintaining the city's historic and natural resources. From encouraging pedestrian-friendliness to maintaining its one-of-a-kind natural environment, Lynchburg seeks to balance the old with the new without destroying the future. Public transit systems connect the city while its old-fashioned design helps create a dynamic and walkable downtown area. For those who prefer more suburban living, numerous subdivisions are located just miles from the city center.
Lynchburg is home to numerous institutes of higher learning. Liberty University, Lynchburg College, Central Virginia Community College, Randolph College, Miller-Motte Technical College, Virginia University of Lynchburg, Lynchburg General Hospital of Nursing and Legends Institute are all located within the city.
As the largest city in the region, Lynchburg serves as an economic capital for the surrounding area. According to the Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce, some of the region's top employers are Aerofin Corporation, Delta Star, Southern Air, Summit Health and Rehabilitation, Sam's Club, Nationwide Insurance, HARRIS Corporation, Fleet Laboratories, Bausch & Lomb and the City of Lynchburg.
According to City-Data, the cost of living index in Lynchburg is 85.3, which is 14.7 percent lower than the U.S. average. This will be welcome news for those searching for Lynchburg rentals. Approximately 46 percent of homes in Lynchburg are renter-occupied units with a median gross rent in the city about $707 per month.
Virginia's rich history is cataloged in numerous museums and historical sites throughout the state, and Lynchburg offers its fair share of attractions. Visitors should make sure to visit the Anne Spencer House, Civil War Trails, Fort Early, Historic Sandusky, Legacy Museum of African-American History, Lynchburg Museum, Miller Claytor House, National Civil War Chaplains Museum, Point of Honor and Spring Hill Cemetery for a taste of both local and national history.

This was the worst experience ever! This company is a joke! Don't waste your money!
This company provided me with a brand new heating and air system for thousands less than different corporations quoted. i'm terribly pleased with the service and expertness. i was therefore happy, I hooked them up with employment for my neighbor. you'll be able to contact http://simmcohvac.com/ for services.
I am in complete agreement with chaschef. This company provided me with a new heating and air system for thousands less than other companies quoted. I am very happy with the service and professionalism. I was so happy, I hooked them up with a job for my neighbor. Thanks again 1st Choice.
Great service. My air flow has never been better. Reasonable for this type of work. I saw this bad review and I know from being in the service industry that you can't make everyone happy. I am glad I gave them a shot! They fixed a duct problem that no one else could. Thanks!
order your own AC unit heat pump type for around here with at least a 14.0 SEER rating from the Internet, many good deals and they will ship it free most of the time right to your door . Had it installed in one day with all the extra required outside Disconnects for safety codes. Been operating for a year now and is doing fine , and my Electric bills are less than last year. Find a good AC man that knows his business. Plenty of them around.Try Angies List.
This was the worst HVAC service I have ever recieved. I had an air conditioning unit installed by First Choice and it did not work for even 6 months before I started having issues with it. Now i have been waiting for 6 months to have my air conditioning unit fixed. It took them nearly 4 months before they attempted to fix it ( not only do i not have ac but i didnt have heat in the winter time) Finally it was deemed unfixable and needed to be replaced 2 months ago. I have since been waiting for a new unit and have received excuses after excuses as to why First Chioce could not get to me. Honestly if i could have given this company no stars I would have. It is a joke that they call themselves First Choice... try again... Last Choice.

The Melbourne Cricket Club suspects extraordinarily high crowd noise was to blame for difficulties in players hearing the siren last Friday night, but has vowed a stringent check of its audio system will be undertaken in time for the grand final.
Hawthorn players did not immediately recognise the siren had sounded at the MCG to confirm their berth in the grand final, with Cyril Rioli, who had marked the ball within range of goal, passing to Lance Franklin in the goal square thinking the match was still going.
MCC spokesman Shane Brown said it was aware of the apparent problem and had been in discussion with the AFL and talks would continue on Monday after the league had spoken to its timekeepers and match staff.
''It was certainly clear that ... players and umpires had difficulty hearing [the siren],'' he said.
''We'd heard some reports earlier in the game that [the siren] was maybe a bit quiet, but that it was working. Until we get in [on Monday] we're not going to know for sure, but at this stage we don't think there was a malfunction from the system itself.''
The MCG's public address system, which is used for the siren notifications, passed a routine pre-match check.
Brown said the difficulties umpires had hearing the verdicts of score reviews during the match may have been an indication of how loud the 85,569 spectators were.
''That tells us the noise around the area must have been so high that you almost couldn't hear yourself think,'' he said.
''For us, it's probably just a check with the people who were operating the siren volume levels, just to make sure that it's at a level we expected.
''More importantly, we'll make sure it's at the right level for next Saturday.''
Brown said the club was also pleased by the demand from its members to attend Friday night's match, which was so significant the 23,000 capacity was exceeded and subsequent members were seated in vacant public areas.
''It's very rare that you see the absolute full members' stand and large gaps of public seating,'' he said.
''Given the criticism the club often attracts when the members' stand isn't full for big events, it was nice to see the members turn out for a big game.''

Check out the Star Trek trailers and clips at AWNtv! [1]
Industrial Light & Magic more than raised the bar for J.J. Abrams' successful Star Trek [2] reboot: blending the real and the virtual in a very creative way in making a more believable movie in space, and offering a number of advancements in simulation and lighting, which are discussed by Visual Effects Supervisors Roger Guyett [3] and Russell Earl [4] and Animation Supervisor Paul Kavanagh.
Bill Desowitz: Let's first recap some of the new tools you created for Star Trek and their impact.
Roger Guyett: As a broad overview, I would say that the project had all sorts of different challenges because it had such a broad spectrum of work. Most specifically, we did a lot of stuff with virtual pyrotechnics to overcome the issues of doing pyrotechnics in space and dealing with non-terrestrial kind of gravities. And just the creative aspect of being able to place explosions in a movie like this does have that level of space battle, combat, and that was a lot of fun for us to do.
BD: Audiences expect more realism.
RG: Right: And we're constantly looking at the way that we've solved those problems in the past. If you looked at Star Wars [5], they were just filming elements and compositing those into shots. But they're filming the elements in the real world, which has gravity, and what we were trying to do is overcome -- or at least respect -- the physics of real space. And that was certainly a big achievement on the show. The lighting style was certainly a big departure for us, and Russell can talk to you about the destruction.
Russell Earl: That was one of the other things that we knew we had to deal with from early on, including the destruction of planet Vulcan. So for that we knew we were going to have massive landscapes, we were going to be on the surface and then shots in space, where we were destroying full planets, so we worked with some proprietary tools here -- Fracture -- that we used to break up the surface of the planet or the terrain based on gross sizes, and that could be run through our physical simulation engine to then break and destroy and emit secondary particles of dust and debris. So we had to figure out an efficient way to do that in a variety of scales. In addition, a lot of the destruction was caused by our Black Hole, which was another big simulation.
RE: Yeah, and we had to direct it, so think about how this Black Hole would cause the destruction and everything would eventually collapse upon itself . At the same time, making it exciting and visually interesting.
RG: We used a tool that they developed called Scripted Millions because we were dealing with bigger and bigger sets of data, which we needed to manage. We knew we were going to be in the same kind of zone as The Maelstrom [6], so wanted to have a better way of handling that information and also look at using different rendering techniques to develop streaks of light. But another big aspect was the shot design and previs.
Paul Kavanagh: J.J. asked if we could have a go at doing some of the shot design as well as the previs [7], which is really cool when that kind of thing happens at the studio and we can get in there and put our stamp on it. So Roger, Paul and I would get together and talk about the shots and what we could do to make them interesting and tell the story more clearly. And toward the end, we got a group of 17 animators together when we were doing the third act and we would start prevising this stuff in Maya [8].
RG: We were also using some camera tools to give an interactive feel to the way the cameras would operate.
You know, we could previs stuff pretty fast because we were using our own assets that we developed for the movie, then once the shot was bought off on, there was just a little cleanup on it and then it was right through our pipeline into rendering, so it wasn't a normal process where you do previs and it's just a visual thing, where another company takes that previs and just copies it again. We would actually do the previs as if we were doing the shot and so the shots came together pretty quickly.
RG: It's just a more efficient way of working.
PK: And we built a team that just weren't animators but we took layout people who had a lot of experience with camera work; we brought them into this one group and one person would be responsible for one shot or a sequence of shots and they would do everything. And there was a lot of cross-over there and they really got a kick out of that. They really felt like they were contributing to the creative aspect of the moviemaking process.
RE: Paul and his guys also spent a lot of time setting up the lighting for the shots because the dramatic lighting played such a large component.
PK: Roger came in after talking to J.J. about doing a strong single source look.

When the plugin catches something as spam it saves it in the database for 15 days in case you want to check it out manually and then automatically deletes it. In the unlikely event something gets incorrectly identified as spam you can correct it and it submits the "false positive" back to Akismet for analysis and improvement of our system. If a spam comment happens to get through and you mark it as spam within WordPress, it does the same thing. Akismet becomes more effective the more you use it.
If you're a borderline business and you feel like you should be paying, go for the Pro-blogger license.
Akismet is the brainchild of Matt Mullenweg of WordPress and his merry band of Automattic rascal hackers. The name can be blamed on Matt's sister, Charleen.
Akismet is a contraction of Automattic Kismet. Our favorite definition of kismet is "Kismet (principle), the magnetic attractive force that actualizes the playing out of karma; often used in the positive sense."
Feel free to hotlink them, steal them, whatever you like. If you feel inclined to make a button, please let us know and we'll add it here.
You can contact support at any time and we'll be happy to take care of this for you.
You won't be able to comment on that person's blog anymore. It won't affect your ability to comment anywhere else.
That person won't be able to comment on your blog anymore. It won't affect their ability to comment anywhere else.
Use the un-spam button in WordPress to rescue it, or the equivalent button in your blog or forum application.
Akismet isn't perfect, and occasional errors do happen. The un-spam button will teach Akismet not to make the same mistake again.
Nope! Part of the idea of Akismet is that you're always protected up-to-the-second from the latest dirty tricks of spammers. There's no maintenance, no upgrading, no hassle.
Yep! That's the point. Download the plugin. It's available under GPL and fine for use in whole, or as a reference
When you mark a comment as "spam" in the plugin or submit it using the submit-spam API call, the mistake is noted by Akismet and it learns from your submission.
You might consider buying a small business license for $5/mo. If you would like to participate in the development of the GPL Akismet WordPress plugin or discuss adapting the Akismet API for a different platform, join the Spam Stopper mailing list and introduce yourself and your ideas. The more the merrier. :)
Absolutely. The Akismet API can be adapted for almost any application with submitted content, including forums, wikis, and contact forms. If you want to adapt it for a different system, please join our development community.
We ask that you turn off all other spam plugins as they may reduce the effectiveness of Akismet. Besides, you shouldn't need them anymore! :) But if you are investigating alternatives, we recommend checking out Mollom and Defensio, both which integrate with Akismet nicely.
Yes, our system does not discriminate against non-English comments. We have happy users from Japan to France.
Well without giving too much of the secret sauce away, we can safely say that it would be pretty difficult to poison Akismet. We use dozens of factors to determine the spamminess of a submission, and we also have an identity attached to everyone using and contributing to the system, which allows us to do some interesting things with weighting and clustering activity.
It sure does.
We get this pretty often, try these steps:
No worries. Fill out this form and we'll email it to you.
One of the reasons we're doing Akismet is we've built up a highly fault-tolerant infrastructure that can handle huge amounts of traffic and processing. However if something ever does go wrong your comments will simply go into the moderation queue.
No, Akismet is not a web site or IP blacklist. Blacklisting isn't very effective and causes false positives, so we don't do it.
Instead, Akismet always uses all the available information about a comment together in order to determine if it's real or spam. The IP address is an important piece of information, but it's always used in conjunction with other information about each comment.
Additionally, Akismet learns the preferences of each individual blog owner, and tailors its results accordingly – each blog has different standards for what is and is not considered spam, so Akismet produces different results on each blog.
Most false positives reported to Akismet were caused by one of the following things:
1) A configuration issue on your server, or interference from another plugin installed on your blog, is causing incorrect information to be sent to Akismet with each comment.
On WordPress, the best solution for this is to make sure you're running version 2.5 or higher of the Akismet plugin (which requires WordPress 3.0+).
It's possible your web server is configured in such a way as to obscure the commenter's true IP address from WordPress and Akismet. You can usually see if this is the case by looking at the IP column in your Comments tab. If all of the comments have the same IP address, your server (or a load balancer at your web host) is obscuring the true IP address. The best solution to this is to contact your web host and ask them to ensure that the REMOTE_ADDR cgi variable is correct; or that the HTTP_X_REAL_IP variable is set in its place.
Plugins that are known to cause problems by interfering with the comment information that is sent to Akismet include: the Quote Comments plugin; old versions of the CommentLuv plugin; and some do-follow and linkluv plugins.
2) The comments weren't caught by Akismet, but by WordPress or another plugin on your blog.
Version 2.5 of the Akismet plugin for WordPress has a Comment History feature that will help you see if a comment was caught by Akismet, or by something else. Click on the History link below a spam comment to see it. If it doesn't say "Akismet caught this comment as spam", then it means that something else on your blog put that comment in your spam folder.
Some common things that tend to incorrectly catch comments as spam include the WordPress Comment Blacklist feature; other spam filtering plugins, particularly those that use CAPTCHAs; and the Bad Behavior plugin.
3) You, or another moderator on your blog, mistakenly clicked the Spam button on that comment.
Again the History feature in version 2.5 of the Akismet plugin for WordPress will help you to detect this. If a comment was moved to the Spam folder by a comment moderator, you'll see a little grey text beside it saying something like "Flagged as spam by matt". You can click on that text, or on the History button, to see exactly what happened. To fix it, just click the Unspam button.
Also, it's possible that you or another moderator used the Spam button on a pervious comment by the same person, and that has trained Akismet to consider subsequent comments by that person to be spam. Again, to fix it just click the Unspam button.
Don't worry, if you see a regular comment on your Akismet page, just click the "Approve" button or the "Not Spam" checkbox and submit and the comment will be sent back to Akismet as a mistake. The system will learn from your submission, though it may take a day or so in some cases. False positives, as they're called, are extremely rare and we watch them closely.
Some versions of the Akismet for WordPress plugin will hide duplicate comments, making it appear to be a different number caught than displayed.
No we didn't. :)
Because it allows us to maintain a single registration system and better protect against abuse of the system. You don't need to get a blog, choose the "just an account" option when signing up.
Are you using the ReCaptcha plugin for WordPress? If so, please disable it and see if that fixes the problem. It sometimes catches comments as spam even when Akismet says they're not.
If that doesn't fix the problem, please contact support and we'll investigate.
Now that you know our secrets, sign up for a plan and show comment spam to the door.

ok i had doom 3 and quake 4 on this computer both running flawlessly, and ever since i downloaded and installed Quake 2 Evolved ( a mod for q2 that runs it on doom 3 engine i believe ) no doom 3 engine game works. Quake 4 will show the splash screen, and the screen will go black, but then it just goes back to windows, and doom 3 doesn't give me anything at all. These games were just working fine a couple of hours ago! i tried restarting but that didn't do anything, is there anything you guys can recommend??

The BLM has a key role in developing and delivering energy to meet the needs of America's homes, businesses, and communities.
Studies indicate that wind energy and geothermal energy in Idaho could serve the electirc power needs of more than 350,000 homes. Idaho is also a critical link in U.S. powerline and pipeline networks.
BLM-Idaho actively manages competitive leasing of federal geothermal resources under regulations finalized in 2007. 33,006 acres of Federal public lands in Idaho are under lease. Additional leasing will proceed under the Nationwide programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) for geothermal energy development. Six parcels in the Castle Creek field are available over-the-counter (non-competitively) at the Idaho State Office Public Room.
In 2010 the Burley Field Office approved five geothermal drilling permits on leases in Raft River, and temperature gradient drilling was performed in the Crane Creek field of the BLM Boise District.
Idaho is an important geographic link between production facilities and energy users. Natural gas pipelines and power transmission lines that cross southern Idaho deliver energy produced in the central Rockies to users in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. BLM-managed lands can play a key role in expanding pipeline and powerline capacity while protecting and conserving other resources found on the land.
BLM-Idaho is currently involved in processing right-of-way (ROW) applications for
The BLM and the Department of Energy (DOE) in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service have also designated 6,100 miles of energy transport corridors on Federal lands in the 11 Western states. 314 miles of these corridors are located in Idaho, 296 on BLM-managed lands.

U.S. stocks declined, snapping a two- day advance in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, as investors' focus returned to the U.S. tax debate and Europe's debt crisis following the re-election of President Barack Obama.
All 10 groups in the S&P 500 retreated today as phone, financial and energy companies had the biggest losses. Bank of America Corp., Apple Inc. and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. fell at least 1.4 percent to pace losses among the largest companies. Fertilizer producers dropped as Agrium Inc. tumbled 7.6 percent amid disappointing earnings and revenue.
The S&P 500 declined 1.4 percent to 1,408.83 at 9:41 a.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slid 175.87 points, or 1.3 percent, to 13,069.81. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 56 percent above the 30-day average at this time of day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Here we go again in Washington," Ed Yardeni, president and chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research Inc. in New York, wrote in a note today. "President Barack Obama has won a second term. While he promised last night that 'the best is yet to come,' more political storms are likely."
Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney, boosting speculation policy makers will add to stimulus in the world's largest economy. While Obama received at least 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206, Republicans kept a majority in the House of Representatives. Democrats retained control of the Senate.
Now that the election has been decided, investors will turn their focus to the $607 billion of tax increases and federal spending cuts set to kick in automatically in January, the so-called fiscal cliff. The Congressional Budget Office has said the U.S. economy would slow by as much as 0.5 percent next year if Congress fails to keep the increases from taking effect.
Biggest Plunge
While Obama's victory in 2008 spurred the biggest plunge ever for the Dow on the day after an election, gains for American assets over the past four years are among the best in the developed world. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's actions to revive the economy after the worst recession in seven decades helped send the Dow up 67 percent. The Dow has gained 3.9 percentage points more than the MSCI All-Country World Index since Obama's inauguration, beating 16 of 24 developed countries.
Stocks have on average rallied 3 percent in the two months following Election Day after a tight race, according to Thomas J. Lee, the chief U.S. equity strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., who cited historical data from the last five elections with close contests.
Yet since 1984, the S&P 500 has declined an average 0.9 percent on the day which followed presidential elections, according to data compiled by Bespoke Investment Group. The benchmark measure for American equities has risen only two of seven times on the day after the polls, the data showed.
Some of the biggest companies declined today. Bank of America retreated 3.9 percent to $9.56. Apple fell 1.4 percent to $571.87. Freeport dropped 1.6 percent to $39.69.
Fertilizer producers slumped. Agrium tumbled 7.6 percent to $98.96. The fertilizer maker and the largest U.S. farm-products retailer reported third-quarter profit and revenue that trailed analysts' estimates after Asian sales talks stalled and a plant restart took longer than expected. Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. retreated 1.1 percent to $39.98. CF Industries Holdings Inc. decreased 2 percent to $202.17.
Investors also watched the latest developments in Europe's attempt to tame its debt crisis. Greek lawmakers vote today on an austerity bill that contains austerity measures demanded by the so-called troika that oversees euro-area bailouts insists.
Frozen Aid
A 31.5 billion-euro ($40 billion) aid payment has been frozen since June as Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's coalition government haggled over the measures and a two-year extension to meet the fiscal targets in the accord.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said inflation risks are "very low" and the debt crisis is starting to hurt Germany, Europe's largest economy.
"Germany has so far been largely insulated from some of the difficulties elsewhere in the euro area," Draghi said at a conference in Frankfurt today. "But the latest data suggest that these developments are now starting to affect the German economy."

Apparently, many of the Republican politicians have something against teachers and unions in general. Until you have worked in a school where life is "hazardous" to say the least, stop attempting to "bust the unions". You have no idea what some teachers have to deal with on a daily basis. The current EFM for Detroit Public Schools has created a dangerous situation with increased classroom size--to the point where young children are being molested in the classrooms by other students, with the teacher in the room. Unfortunately, no teacher has eyes in the backs of their heads and no teacher has the ability to read minds. The EFM has not been truthful regarding the situation in Detroit and has only provided media information that makes him look good. If you really want to know what is going on in the schools, talk to the teachers and the students, before making foolish decisions.
Bobb Bobbb has done such a wonderful job cleaning up finances at DPS....Right. He was brought in for a singular purpose, Balance the books. Instead he has increased the deficit and suckered taxpayers into another $500,000,000 bond. Bamboozled.
Give Bobbb & the next Guy more Power, "Privatize" Schools, Get Rid of Unions, then Johnny will read.
Everyone seems focused on union-busting, but, there is a greater harm done here. It is constitution-busting. We are supposed to be a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. How does this bill fit this? Giving dictatorial powers to persons or businesses to dissolve governmental entities such as cities, ability to void contracts created by elected officials for the people they represent, and apparently no limit on power is hardly within the constitution. Such radical ideas don't belong in this nation. The governor and those voting for this bill should be recalled.
All this ranting because she doesn't like the outcome........ and whose constitutional rights are being stepped on? Oh and by the way, she described perfectly what the democrats did when they pushed the health care through.....and they had the majority in both the house and senate!
One thing you missed............not all of us in Michigan are protected by a union.... so I too am part of that government to speak of!

There's all this talk about what's going to happen in free agency and the draft. It really is a waste of time when so much still has to be decided. It's obvious that there's only two things that can happen here. Either the new GM keeps Herm or gets rid of him. In scenario 1, the new GM keeps Herm.
This thread is for ideas if the Chiefs keep Herm.
Who's the new GM?
Who on his staff stays and goes?
What offensive system do they go with?
Who plays QB?
Who gets cut, traded and signed?
Who gets drafted to fill needs?

It's not very often that a story smacks me on the side of the head with a message. I was asked this February to profile four people in the Brazos Valley African American community for Black History Month. I had phone numbers, a few notes on who each person was, and a deadline.
Profiles are funny it that way. You don't know much about a person until you meet them. I approached these stories with an open mind and open heart.
Here's what I learned:
Annie Williams taught me that our seniors are the best link to our past.
Lance Jackson taught me that the key to our future lies with our children.
Pastor Jacqui King taught me that black history isn't a separate history, just one that hasn't been told.
Pastor Sam Hill taught me that history is the stories we tell to each other.
All four of these stories have a central theme; history. That was no conscious decision on my part. I think it speaks to how universal our past is.
Pastor Hill puts it this way:
Anything that happens in the past.
How one perceives what happens is perspective.
Only what's passed on is history.
The stories we tell each other define not only us, but our community.
I'm lucky enough to have a profession that lets me hear so many stories. Some good, some bad. Regardless, these stories are what defines us.
So, let's tell the story of our community. What will our history be? What stories will we tell one another? What will fall out of our history?
Let's tell our story together.
