| A Note On Our Comment Woes
You may have noticed that our comment system has been acting a little funny for the last few days. You might have seen an increase in the number of proxy errors you're confronted with, or found that you can no longer leave your URL along with your comment. Well, you're not imagining things. The truth is that the boys in New York have been fighting an avalanche of comment spam, and these annoyances are the visible expression of it. The spam-clogged system is responsible for the proxy errors; the URL issues are an attempt to dissuade the spammers. We're told that you can still leave your URL, but you'll have to omit the 'http://'. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but this stuff is largely out of our hands. If it helps, you can do like we do and put your childlike faith in the new comment system that we're assured is just around the corner, and which should include blockbuster new features like better spam protection, improved performance, and the ability to send mild corrective shocks to the chairs of authors whose posts you disagree with.
PC and Components
The speed with which an unprotected PC picks up malware from the Internet can be truly scary, hence the rise in popularity of security bundles that combine antivirus, firewall and spam protection. BitDefender's award-winning antivirus side is its strongest feature. It filters all the vectors viruses use to infect your system, checking downloads, email, peer-to-peer exchanges, network connections, CDs, ZIPs and USB keys. The program can scan files on access, on demand or on schedule - BitDefender creates a tiny desktop window called the File Zone that indicates how many files have recently been scanned. You can drag and drop things in there if you want them checked out. Email virus attachments that can't be cleaned are quarantined and one click sends them to BitDefender for analysis.
Email, All-Star Dancers and Essay Conest for Kids
Manatees fans desiring a response to an email should turn off any filter or SPAM blocker, or accept info@spacecoaststadium.com as a legitimate email address. We answer 100% of our emails but many times we run into email blockers like EarthLink which requires us to register with them again and again just to send you a baseball camp registration form or a group photo from last night's game. Please either change your email filter settings to accept our email address or create a free email account on Yahoo! or gmail (Google)...they're free and will get you your response very quickly. If you don't receive a response from us it's because of your email settings blocking us. We don't have the hours in the day to keep registering with EarthLink and some of the other protection servcies. Former Brevard County Manatees Catcher 'Sweet' Lou Palmisano's fiance, Katherine, is one of three finalists in the Miami Heat's Dance Contest.
