eWeek Labs looks at Linux versus .Net, and concludes that WAMP stacks--such as Windows Server 2003, Apache, MySQL and the PHP-based XOOPS; Plone running on Windows Server 2003 R2; and JBoss and MySQL on Windows Server 2003--have the benefits and efficiencies of using open source without having to required that staff become Linux administrators.

1939 Induction Ceremony
The first four Hall of Fame classes joined together in the first Induction Weekend in Cooperstown, N.Y. in 1939.
Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner, and Babe Ruth were inducted as five of the finest players of the era controlling the election ballots in 1936.: In Baseball's first Hall of Fame class,
TY COBB: Elected with the highest percentage of votes in the inaugural class with 98.2%, Cobb had a lifetime batting average of .367 amassing 4,191 hits that led him to win 12 batting titles. Over his 24 year career primarily with the Detroit Tigers, Cobb had 23 seasons in which he hit over .300 and three seasons where he hit over .400 reaching a career high of .420 in 1911. Over his illustrious career, the "Georgia Peach" tallied 297 triples, 2,245 runs and 892 stolen bases to lead him into the Hall of Fame with the fourth highest percentage of all-time.
WALTER JOHNSON: Elected with 83.6% on the Hall of Fame ballot, Johnson was a power pitcher with the Washington Senators for 21 seasons in which he compiled 3,508 strikeouts including 110 career shutouts more than any other pitcher in history. With a fastball that at the time was considered in a league of its own, Johnson was able to win 417 games, second on the all-time list. In doing so he was able to enjoy 10 seasons of 20 or more victories.
CHRISTY MATHEWSON: Receiving 90.7% of the votes, Mathewson was elected onto the 1936 Hall of Fame ballot with a career win total of 373 wins over 17 seasons, all but one season spent with the New York Giants. Known for his famous fadeaway pitch of the early 1900s, Mathewson was able to secure at least 22 games for 12 seasons. Matty set the modern National League win mark with 37 wins in 1908. He did compile three other 30 or win seasons including a World Series championship in 1905 where he threw three shutouts in six days against the Athletics.
HONUS WAGNER: Tying Babe Ruth on the ballot with 95.1% of the votes, Honus Wagner was elected into the Hall of Fame after a 21-year career mainly with the Pittsburgh Pirtates. However, he started his career with the Louisville Colonels in 1897 hitting .344, never dropping below a .300 average for the next 17 seasons winning eight National League batting titles. Wagner also led the league in stolen bases on five different occasions totaling 722 thefts for his career.
BABE RUTH: Accumulating 95.1% of the votes, Babe Ruth joined the Hall of Fame after a celebrated career where he set records at the time for home runs in a career (714) and home runs in a single-season with 60 during the 1927 season. The Babe led the New York Yankees to seven American League pennants and four World Series title. Teaming with Lou Gehrig from 1923-1934, the two formed baseball's most devastating hitting tandem ever.
1937 Induction Class: The Hall of Fame inducted a class well-worthy of the second induction class in history. Nap Lajoie grabbed the most votes on the ballot with 83.6% of the votes followed by 82.1% by center fielder Tris Speaker. The top two managers in terms of wins all-time, Connie Mack and John McGraw join the list through the Veterans' Committee with baseball's all-time leader in pitching wins, Cy Young receiving 76.1% of the votes. Morgan Bulkeley and Byron Johnson become the first two executives inducted into the Hall of Fame also through the Veterans Committee with their creations of the National League and American League respectively. Rounding out the second Hall of Fame induction class was George Wright who starred at shortstop for the first all professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.
MORGAN BULKELEY: Elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee, Morgan Bulkeley served as the first president of the National League when it was created in 1876. He was able to enhance the overall image of the league when he decided to target issues as illegal gambling, drinking and fan rowdiness as areas of the league atmosphere that needed to be changed. After baseball, Bulkeley became a politician in Connecticut where he became mayor of Hartford followed by a run as Governor of Connecticut and finished with a seat in the United States Senate.
BYRON JOHNSON: A Veterans' Committee selection, Byron Johnson founded of the American League in 1901 in order to rival the already established National League. Originally the president of the Western League, Johnson decided to change the name to the American League in 1900 with it gaining major league standing the following year. Johnson secured his place in history as one of most influential members of the National Commission, baseball's ruling body until 1920.
NAP LAJOIE: Elected to the Hall of Fame with 83.6% of the ballot, leading the class of 1937 was Lajoie. A second basemen for three different franchises; the Phillies, A's, and Indians became known for his ability both in the field and at the plate where he enjoyed at least a .300 batting in 16 of his 21 major league seasons. He hit over .350 ten times in his career with him capturing the Triple Crown in 1901 when he led the league with a .422 batting mark. Lajoie finished his career with a .339 average at the plate.
CONNIE MACK: Mack was elected in the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee after totaling 3,776 in which just about all of his wins came as manager of the Philadelphia A's. He controlled the reigns for 50 seasons as the A's manager winning five World Series and seven pennants including four out of five from 1910-1914 and three in a row from 1929-1931.
JOHN MCGRAW: Voted into the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee, John McGraw found great success in 31 years as manager of the New York Giants. McGraw compiled 2,840 wins placing him second all-time only to Connie Mack on the career wins list. His teams throughout the years won three World Series, ten pennants, and finished second eleven different times.
TRIS SPEAKER: Elected into the Hall of Fame receiving 82.1% of the vote, Speaker hit for a lifetime average of .345 during the 1910s. The rival of the great, Ty Cobb during the 1910s, Speaker holds the career mark for most doubles in a career with 793 leading the league eight different times throughout his career. Also Speaker was widely recognized the way he played the outfield. Controlling the outfield through playing a shallow center field, Speaker sits atop of the all-time outfield assist list with 450. After his playing days, Speaker won a World Series title with Cleveland in 1920.
GEORGE WRIGHT: Wright was elected by the Veterans' Committee in the Hall of Fame after starring on the first openly all-professional team at shortstop for the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings. During the inaugural season for the Red Stockings, Wright hit 49 home runs in 57 games while hitting for an astonishing .633 average. Leading Cincinnati to four National Association flags as captain from 1872-75, he later achieved more glory in winning two National League pennants with Boston in 1877 and '78. In his first season with his third franchise, the Providence Grays, Wright led his city's first league championship in history.
CY YOUNG: Boasting a career win total of 511 pitching wins placing him first all-time, Cy Young was elected into the Hall of Fame with 76.1% on the ballot. Winning 30 games five times and 20 or more wins an incredible 15 times, Young sits atop of the list a near 100 wins more than Walter Johnson's 417 wins. During the first modern World Series in 1903, Young won two games en route to Boston winning the championship.
1938 Induction Class: Two baseball pioneers and one of the greatest pitchers of all-time were voted into the Hall of Fame's third class in 1938. Alexander Cartwright, developer of such early rules as foul territory and three-out innings joins Henry Chadwick, developer of the modern box score and statistics such as batting average and ERA as Veterans' Committee elects to the Hall of Fame. The only player elected, Grover Alexander, third on the all-time wins list for a pitcher totaled 80.9% of the votes.
GROVER ALEXANDER: Collecting 80.9% of the vote, Grover Alexander is the only player elected into the class of 1938 outside of the Veterans' Committee elects. Sitting third all-time among the career wins total for a pitcher with 373, Alexander led the league on four different occasions in ERA, wins in six different seasons, complete games six times and shutouts during seven of his 20 year career. Grover Alexander was also able to put a streak of three consecutive 30 win seasons during his career with the Phillies, Cardinals, and Cubs.
ALEXANDER CARTWRIGHT: Elected into the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee, Cartwright was known as the Father of Modern baseball due to his roles in publicizing the game's first set of rules. An influential member in baseball's first organized club, the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York City, Cartwright is credited in some respects for the concept of foul territory, the distance between bases and three-out innings.
HENRY CHADWICK: Chadwick was voted by the Veterans' Committee into the Hall of Fame through his work as prominent journalist who developed the modern box score. Through the concept of statistics, Chadwick is credited with introducing batting average and ERA to baseball. He was also greatly involved as a member in the baseball's early rules committees.
1939 Induction Class: The Hall of Fame's membership grew by ten in 1939, as BBWAA selections Eddie Collins, Lou Gehrig, Willie Keeler, and George Sisler were inducted. The Veterans Committee elected Cap Anson, Buck Ewing, Candy Cummings, Charles Radbourn along with manager/executives Charles Comiskey and Al Spalding.
CAP ANSON: Voted in the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee, Anson was an exceptional first basemen for 27 years at the major league level with the Chicago National League squad during the late 19th Century. During his 27 year career, 20 of those seasons Anson hit over the .300 mark while accumulating over 3,000 hits in his career. He ended his career as the leader in games played, hits, at-bats, doubles, and runs. After his playing days, he managed in Chicago winning over 1,200 games and five National League pennants.
EDDIE COLLINS: Collins was elected into the Hall of Fame receiving 77.7% of the votes, second best of the ballot. Playing in 25 major league seasons since the age of 19, Eddie Collins was able to surpass the elusive 3,000 hit mark in career finishing with 3,315 hits while hitting for a .340 career average. Collins was part of the famous $100,000 infield that helped the Philadelphia A's win four American League championships in five years and three World Series titles.
CHARLES COMISKEY: Comiskey was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee due in part to his success in all aspects of the game of baseball. He was player-manager of St. Louis Browns where he won four consecutive pennants spanning from 1885-1888 and became widely known for how he played off and behind the bag as a first basemen making him the first player to ever do so. After his success with the Browns, Comiskey found more success as the owner of the Chicago White Sox for 31 years winning five pennants. His two major contributions to baseball were acting as one of the founders of the American League in 1901 and Comiskey Park, a stadium named after him that stood for 80 years.
CANDY CUMMINGS: Elected into the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee, Candy Cummings is credited for pitching baseball's first curveball as an amateur pitcher for the Brooklyn Stars in 1867. Although playing in only a brief career, Cummings was able to collect 124 games in four seasons leading the league in twice in shutouts and once in innings pitched. He is also well-known for being the first major league player to start, complete and win both games of a doubleheader in 1876 for the Hartford Dark Blues.
BUCK EWING: A Veterans' Committee selection, Buck Ewing became the first catcher ever to enter the Hall of Fame. Hitting over the .300 mark in 10 of his 15 seasons, Ewing compiled a career average of .311. Ewing is the first player in Major League history to hit 10 home runs in a season when he did it in 1883 for the New York Gothams. Ewing saw success as captain of the New York Giants where he led his team to the team's first world championships in 1888 and 1889.
LOU GEHRIG: Teaming with Babe Ruth to form baseball's most devastating tandem of all-time, Gehrig was elected to the Hall of Fame through a special ballot while still an active player due to his terminating illness that forced him to retire early. Gehrig known as the "Iron Horse" for his consecutive games played streak that spanned 2,130 games, was able to both score 100 runs and drive in 100 RBIs in 13 straight seasons with the New York Yankees. During his career, Gehrig enjoyed a lifetime batting average of .340 where he set the American League record in 1931 with 184 RBIs. Gehrig was known for his clutch hitting as he hit .361 in seven World Series, winning six of them. He also holds the record for career grand slams with 23.
WILLIE KEELER: Wee Willie Keeler was elected to the Hall of Fame after a successful career with the New York Giants, Baltimore Orioles, Brooklyn Superbas and New York Highlanders where he collected eight straight seasons of 200 or more hits.

TEAMS: Buffalo Bills
As a 10-year veteran and former Super Bowl champ, Buffalo Bills linebacker Nick Barnett is pretty comfortable with any role he's assigned in a defensive system. But that's not to say that he doesn't have a preference. Under former defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt, Barnett moved into the "Will" role of the 4-3 scheme for the first time in his career. To nobody's surprise, Barnett turned out to be a bright spot in the Bills' shaky front, leading the team in total tackles with 112."The Will in a 4-3 is not known for making as many tackles and impact plays as the Mike," Barnett told Patrick Moran of Buffalo Sports Daily this week. "You have to play a lot slower on runs away from you, being you are the one that has to prevent cut backs by the running back. In 2011, I was a little freer to make plays when we were in our base."Barnett told Moran he prefers the Mike position in the 4-3 and the weak, inside spot in 3-4, but that he'll play anywhere as l...

Team Canada general manager Doug Armstrong has selected the coaching staff for the upcoming World Hockey Championship in Switzerland.
Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff will lead Canada's coaching staff and his assistants will be Nashville Predators' Barry Trotz and Dallas Stars' Dave Tippett.
"As a management group, we are very pleased with the coaching staff that we have been able to assemble," said Armstrong in a media release. "This coaching staff brings great professional and international experience that will serve us well as we strive to win a gold medal in Switzerland."
"In one sense, it's an opportunity that you hope you don't have very often," Ruff told the Canadian Press on Sunday. "In another sense, when you don't make (the playoffs), to be involved is a tremendous honour. And I look at it that way. I'm going to relish every minute of this along with our other coaches."
Canada will also name the majority of its roster as early as Monday, holding three spots open for players eliminated from the NHL playoffs after the first round.
Depending on who's available after round one, sources tell TSN Canada hopes to name a forward, a defenceman and a goaltender from a list of opening round casualties that is sure to be very strong.
Ruff will be making his international debut, he has never coached or played for Canada. Trotz was an assistant coach with Canada at the 2003 World Championship and although Tippett has never coached internationally, he played in two Olympics - 1984 and 1992 (silver). Over the two tournaments he had two goals and three assists, with 12 penalty minutes in 14 games.

Scientific name: Beyeria subtecta
Common name: Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush
The Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush is a small, rigid and very sticky (Black 1922; Jessop & Toelken 1986; Leigh et al. 1984) shrub, growing to 60 cm in height (Barker & Dashorst 1984; Davies 1986). The flowers are white (Barker & Dashorst 1984) or yellowish (Leigh et al. 1984). Plants are dioecious (Barker & Dashorst 1984).
The Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush is endemic to Kangaroo Island, and is known from a strip of land 5 km on either side of Hog Bay Road. This road is between Min Oil Road and Three Chain Road, on eastern Kangaroo Island (Taylor 2008).
Before 2000, the species was known to occur in 84 localities over a small range (Davies 1986, 1992, 1996). Eighty of these localities occurred on roadsides, three were conserved and one was adjacent to a rubbish dump (Briggs & Leigh 1996; Davies 1986). The roadside localities ranged in size from one plant to 282 plants (Davies 1996). The largest populations were not on road verges and comprised several thousand individuals. One population was in the York Farm Scrub, which is protected under a heritage agreement (Davies 1986; RNEDB 2001). The York Farm Scrub is the largest remnant of the Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaf Mallee (Eucalyptus cneorifolia) open scrub. A second population was known within the Beyeria Conservation Park. The plants in the Beyeria Conservation Park occurred within open heath (RNEDB 2001). A third population occurred over 25 ha of private property, unprotected from grazing stock in 1992 (Davies 1992), and was subsequently protected under a heritage agreement (Briggs & Leigh 1996).
A further population containing a few dozen individuals occurred on the edge of a stone reserve, which was developed as a council rubbish dump in 1986 (Davies 1986).
Historically, the Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush was known only from the type collection made in the early 1900s from Cygnet (Black 1922; Leigh et al. 1984), and two collections in the 1960s west of American River (Leigh et al. 1984), until it was relocated in the early 1980s (Jackson pers. comm. cited in Leigh et al. 1984). The species is likely to have been lost from the type locality (Leigh et al. 1984). The species is likely to have occurred on upper slope and plateau areas adjoining the existing sub-populations (Taylor 2008).
Details of surviving populations are stored as a computerised database at the Information Systems Branch of the South Australian Department of Environment and Planning (Davies 1986).
There are two important known sub-populations of Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush (Taylor 2008):
|Number of plants
|Area of occupancy (km²)
|Hog Bay Road (Rd), Willsons Rd, Beyeria Conservation Park (CP), Halls Rd and Redbanks Rd
|Moores Rd, Three Chain Rd, Boundary Rd, American River Rd, Flour Cask Bay Rd and Hog Bay Rd
The Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush occurs on gentle upper slopes associated with the highest sections of the Haines Plateau and Eastern Plains of eastern Kangaroo Island. The species grows on sand and loamy sand (varying from dark brown to light yellow brown in colour) with a pH of 6–7 (Davies 1986; Taylor 2008). The annual rainfall, at known locations of the species, range from 485 mm (at Kingscote) to 529 mm (at American River), and mean annual minimum and maximum temperatures (at Kingscote) are 11.5 °C and 19.0 °C respectively.
The species is usually found in open scrub, tall shrubland or regenerating areas of mallee scrub, closed heath and Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaf Mallee – Broombrush (Melaleuca uncinata) associations. The overstorey is usually dominated by Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaf Mallee. Understorey species of this plant community include Holly Grevillea (Grevillea ilicifolia), Sticky Swordsedge (Lepidosperma viscidum), Slender Honey Myrtle (Melaleuca gibbosa), Broombrush, Micrantheum demissum, Rough Fan Flower (Scaevola linearis) and Centenary Starburst (Thryptomene ericaea) (Barker & Dashorst 1984; Davies 1986; Taylor 2008).
The Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush flowers between June and February (Davies 1986; Jessop & Toelken 1986).
Currently, all subpopulations of the Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush are threatened by small scale vegetation clearance activities, weeds (specifically Bridal Creeper (Asparagus asparagoides), Perennial Veldt Grass (Erharta calycina) and Phalaris (Phalaris aquatica)), soil salinity and trampling. Due to their highly fragmented population, all subpopulations are also potentially threatened by edge effects. Subpopulation A (which accounts for 97% of the total population) is threatened by herbivore grazing and erosion. Phytophthora spp. infestation is an issue at subpopulation B (which is 3% of total population), and this subpopulation is also potentially under threat from declining genetic viability due to its small size (less than 1000 plants) (Taylor 2008).
In 1984, undisturbed native roadside vegetation containing Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush was cleared. In 1985, an exemption in the Native Vegetation Management Act 1985, allowed an area of regenerating vegetation containing the species to be legally destroyed. A very small population on the edge of a regenerating patch of native vegetation was also ploughed (Davies 1986). Any remaining plants near American River are likely to be at risk from further clearing for farming, by roadwork and weed invasion (Leigh et al. 1984).
Nature Conservation Society of South Australia Inc received $21 980 through the Threatened Species Network Community Grants in 2003–04, part of which was for implementation of actions under a Threatened Species Network draft recovery plan in three areas critical to plant recovery - grazing management, weed management, community awareness and involvement.
Management documents for the Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush can be found at the start of this profile.
The following table lists known and perceived threats to this species. Threats are based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) threat classification version 1.1.

Being that it has really only been just a matter of weeks since he was acquitted in the Trayvon Martin trial, you would think that George Zimmerman would be trying to lay low. But no. The man accused of murdering a teenager was photographed at a Florida firearms factory called Kel-Tec, shaking hands with an employee and grinning.
TMZ posted the photo yesterday, reporting that Zimmerman asked questions about the legality of buying a Kel-Tec KSG, a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, often used for home defense. Zimmerman was reportedly taken on a tour of the grounds -- including where firearms are assembled -- by the owner's son himself.
Making the story even more unsettling: Zimmerman shot Martin with a 9mm Kel-Tec pistol. Ugh.
It's no surprise Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara had his spokesman Shawn Vincent speak to the press in the wake of this unnerving display. He said:
We understand how George visiting the factory that produces the gun used to shoot Trayvon Martin is seen as inappropriate.
Uh, ya think?!? Vincent also told Yahoo News:
We certainly would not have advised him to go to the factory that made the gun that he used to shoot Trayvon Martin through the heart. That was not part of our public relations plan.
Yeah, probably not. Zimmerman's actions make him seem like he has little to no remorse or at least has no idea what it is appropriate.
Kel-Tec also released a statement about the visit, noting:
Many individuals like to come by the plant to actually see the product and how it is made. ... Kel-Tec's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone whose lives were forever changed.
Good for them. Sounds like they actually have a little more respect for the situation than Zimmerman himself.
What do you think about how this looks?
I agree early bird.
Move on, Ms. Brown. He is a free man and can do what he wants... this isn't newsworthy.
With all the threats against him, he probably needs some protection for himself and family. If people think he is armed, they are more likely to leave him alone.
While I agree that this was a stupid move on his part, we don't view it the same way if someone buys another car just like the one they were driving when they hit and killed someone.
I do think that this was a case of self defense and based on that - visiting the factory could be a good thing for the company and for the man. HOWEVER, this is the Zimmerman case we are talking about and many people do NOT view it as self -defense. So not his brightest moment, for sure.

I LOVE IT! 5 STARS! Most of all I enjoyed that you added the edible roses. Did you know those are just one of many flowers you can eat?
Yogurt Honey Jelly with Strawberries and Roses
Sunset's April 1975 recipe for Russian Cream—and English food writer Josceline Dimbleby's recipe for Athenian Jelly—inspired Niloufer Ichaporia King to make this dessert. It's perfect after Parsi food and very much in character with it. Serve with cookies if you like. Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes, plus 1 hour of chilling time. Notes: We used a 6-in. cake pan for the mold, but you can use anything from a plain metal mixing bowl to a fancy crenellated pudding bowl. Or pour the yogurt into small bowls to make individual servings. Find rose water in Middle Eastern markets, and look for Middle Eastern, French, and Italian brands over Indian ones—they have better flavor. Rose petals are edible if they're pesticide-free; pluck from your garden if you haven't sprayed, or ask for them at your local farmers' market flower vendors.

Book Description:Italians are passionate about their food and love to celebrate together. At annual village festivals the food is cooked in mammoth proportions, the cobblestone streets become jammed with costumed processions and happy crowds sit and enjoy a communal meal that is a ritual of connection and neighborly love. In Celebrating Italy, Carol Field takes the reader to these exuberant civic feasts and highlights their very special and ancient recipes. The result is one of the most remarkable cookbooks ever written, for in exploring festivals, Field has opened a bright new window on Italian culture and its sumptuous food. Recipes include the victory dinner of Risotto Fratacchione -- red onions and sausages eaten after Siena's famous Palio; the Sorbir d'Agnoli -- stuffed pasta in wine-spiked broth that the Mantuans eat on Christmas Day, and Pane di Cena's sweet milk bread rolls, which is made to last all through Easter Week in Sicily.

^^Good Points^^
It's really unfortunate that all Daily Day movies aren't as good as this! This was really quite funny. The sound clip was very funny, and animating wade to it, just makes it ten times better. The ending was great too. That was very unexpected!
^^Needs Improving^^
Hmm...I guess I'd have to say that this doesn't really have a Daily Day feeling to it. Perhaps a different preloader would help out.

Though the Rangers secured only one of a possible two points on Friday night in Pittsburgh, there was much to feel good about the team's overall game---not the least of which was a 35-27 shots advantage, and some terrific work on the forecheck. It could be arged that if not for a standout performance in goal by Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury, the Rangers would have earned those two points instead of one by virtue of their 2-1 shootout defeat.
After the game BlueshirtsUnited.com caught up with center Brian Boyle---who had five shots on goal and three hits, team captain Ryan Callahan---who logged 23:04 and created a string of prime scoring chances, and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist---who stopped 26 of 27 hsots through 65 minutes of play, and got their take on the playoff-type contest played on Friday night.
See what Boyle, Callahan, and Lundqvist had to say, then share your comments below.

So a really cool skeptic conference, called Skepticon, was held this weekend in Springfield, Missouri. It seems like an awesome event for those lucky enough to be able to attend, which would be about 1100 people (lucky bastards)! Now, Springfield is a smallish city, with just over 150,000 people, so you'd think local business owners would be psyched about 1100 more people to sell stuff to. And for the most part they probably were. Except for the owner of a local gelato shop called Gelato Mio. When the owner of this shop heard about Skepticon, he did what any normal business owner would do: he put up a sign telling them that they're not welcome (seen above, from here).
It reads:
Skepticon is NOT welcomed to my Christian business
This sign didn't stay up for too long, but just long enough for the attendees of Skepticon to know where not to go for gelato. And long enough for them to take pictures, which a few later blogged about. So, after everyone found out about this, the Yelp and Urbanspoon ratings plummeted, which caused the owner of Gelato Mio to post an apology to their website, which read:
RE Letter in the Window:
To the Public: I sincerely apologize for the posting of the note in the window. It was an impulse reaction to an event that I witnessed and it was only up for a few minutes before I came to my senses and realized it shouldn't have been up at all.
So you know, nobody was turned away and everyone was given the same high level of service they have come to expect. Out of the hundreds of event attendees that I served on Friday and Saturday, all of them were extremely polite and enjoyed their time in my restaurant. The event that greatly offended me was conducted by one man and I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.
Even small business owners make mistakes, and I sincerely apologize to those whom I offended.
All the Best,
This "apology" raised a few questions (what event did he witness that freaked him out so much?) and generally didn't satisfy many people (including me). While the downrating was happening on Yelp and Urbanspoon, many negative comments were being posted to their facebook page. But I guess at some point, whoever was in charge of the facebook page decided that s/he'd had enough. All of the negative comments were deleted a little after 10 pm last night (the 20th), leaving only positive comments (some of which made no sense anymore because they were in response to deleted comments). Well, people didn't look too kindly upon that (including me) and some decided to post again, this time criticizing this silencing technique. I guess this time it was just too much, because at about midnight, the facebook page was taken down entirely.
This whole story is pathetic and sad, but not too surprising to me. I see and hear about stuff like this a little too often. What surprised me about this is how some fellow atheist reacted to this story. After the apology was issued, many (on the facebook page and in this comment thread) seemed to think that everyone should just shut up about this and forgive and forget. WTF? No! Why should I forget about something like this? Just because someone said "sorry"? That doesn't make what they did ok. Especially when the apology isn't sincere, like it clearly wasn't in this case. Some people also brought up that this could make atheists look bad. This isn't a PR thing! This is about someone who really thought it was ok (even for just a moment) to say something like this. It's not like shutting up will convince everyone in the country that atheists aren't so bad after all. Actually, being more vocal is probably better, which is why a lot of atheist groups have started campaigns to that effect (like the Out Campaign).
I know that I won't shut up just because someone might think poorly of me or my group, and I hope the same is true for others. I also hope that things like this will happen less often as time goes on and more people speak out against it when it does happen.
Update: The owner of this shop apologized again and explained the "event" that bothered him so much.

Logan Spikers Knock Off SWIC to Finish Regular Season Slate
Logan Media Services
BELLEVILLE - The John A. Logan College volleyball team completed its regular season schedule Tuesday night with a four-set triumph over host Southwestern Illinois College: 25-20, 26-28, 29-27, 25-21.
The Volunteers finish Great Rivers Athletic Conference play at 5-3, good for third place. They are 14-17 overall.
Freshman outside hitter Kasey Krough of Carbondale led the Logan offense with 11 kills. Defensively, she was solid, as well, with five blocks and 11 digs.
Freshman Casey Kuechle had eight kills and five blocks. Freshman Kacey Wahlig recorded 27 assists and 11 digs. Freshman Morgan Mueller notched 17 digs to lead the team.
"We're still not playing as well as I believe we can play, but we played well enough to win," said Vols head coach Bill Burnside. "I think Kasey Krough is becoming a go-to player for us. It's nice to finish the regular season on a positive note. Hopefully, we can build on this momentum at the District Tournament Friday."
Logan will meet Lake Land at 11 a.m. Friday at Kaskaskia College in Centralia. The Vols lost both matches to the Lakers during the regular season. Should the Vols win, they will advance to semi-final round play Saturday against the tourney's No. 1 seed, Iowa Western.

In an interview with the Denver Post yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) attempted to explain why he voted for the Wall Street bailout, despite previously saying that a bill that included earmarks would be "unacceptable." McCain remarked, "I talk to…economists that have said, 'Look, you don't understand how serious — '" before cutting himself off. Seeming to realize that he was once again admitting he doesn't understand the economy, McCain corrected himself saying, "I mean, 'We have to understand how serious this is.'" Listen here:
McCain: Economists tell me, 'You don't understand how serious' the financial crisis is.

The Bubble Ring: A Hoop In Review
In the spotlight: The Lanternsmith "Bubble Ring"
For someone like me who was instantly an addict of polypro, the idea of a better kind of plastic was considered sacrilegious. Polypropylene was rigid, light, and quick; everything I wanted out of a hoop. Hooping had become a shoe-in to the world of dance for me. Rather than tiptoe around the mold of modern dance, I could saunter in confidently, hoop drawn and dance turns well-practiced. Suffice to say, I am exceedingly picky when it comes to my hoops. They must be of a certain size, must be one solid color, must be pretty to look at, must not have sticky grip tape. I like to do a lot of on-body work with my hoop, and for that reason I need a lot of wiggle room (as I found out, woefully, after 30 inch hoops did not treat me as well as I'd have liked). That was the story: I had my pile of single color, mirror-taped polypro hoops, and I was one satisfied hooper.
Well, almost. Something about watching those old circus style hoopers from the days of yore (or still in action over in the United Kingdom) flicking hoops around their body in whatever mystery plastic their prop was made of. Their hoops dancing across their bodies in all of that wedgie glory, it really got to me. You could technically do said tricks with a polypro, yes, but there was a quality missing. That wobble. Where had all the wobbles gone? I shrugged it off and continued on with my steady polypropylene diet.
That is, until the day my deep-seeded want for flex was instantly satiated upon the testing of something totally new, totally weird, and totally wobbly. Fresh out of the Lanternsmith oven, dutifully dubbed the Bubble Ring, this polycarbonate hoop is indestructible — literally— because it is made of bullet proof plastic. That means you stand on it, drop it, or even throw it at a friend and the hoop is completely unscathed (unlike your friendship). But that's not the coolest thing about this hoop: it's got BOUNCE. I don't mean any kind of slight bounce. I mean you have the hoop nicely in wall plane, one side touching the ground, pressing down on the top of the hoop, let go, and this hoop will launch several feet into the air. You can even fold the hoop all the way down into a figure eight on the ground, let go, and it shoots well over 15 feet into the air and STILL it retains its shape!
For me, the most important and ultimately the most satisfying aspect of this hoop is its feel on-body. Remember the days of the weighted hoop, how gratifying that feeling was, pushing all that weight around? The truly fascinating thing about this prop is it gives your body the feeling of a weighted hoop, but the nimble movements of a polypro. It really feels like the Cadillac of hoops: it just wants to take a cruise around your body. It felt like my body could finally dance the way it had always wanted to in a hoop. It was innovating and a game changer for how I moved.
Aesthetically speaking, it shocked me how sleek, beautiful, and slender the hoop is. It's crystal clear, thinner than the thinnest polypro you've ever seen, which in the beginning you may find hard for your fingers to get used to. But there is something about the crystal-clear shine of the hoop that really gets me. When it's a bright sunny day, lay on the ground, hoop with it around your foot, and it feels like your twirling the sky around your foot. There's nothing between you and that blue, and it's a beautiful thing to witness. Have someone film you and watch how your body's movements are more pronounced, more apparent, because the hoop is so clear that suddenly it becomes less about tricks you are pulling off and more about the melding of you and your hoop's movements.
The grip tape is also a beast all its own. Lining the inside of the hoop is a thin piece of silicone tape, an incredibly grippy material that doesn't peel off even when it gets moist. It is also easily cleaned with a cloth or wet towel. You know what that means: no more dirty, sticky, gross grip tape, FINALLY! That was a big problem I had with grip tape, especially when traveling.
Lanternsmith itself is the brain child of Annie Guest and Charlie Cushing, and is based out of Vermont. Lanternsmith also creates meditative glow props, including poi, staff, and a really great glow hoop. Instead of using tape or LEDs, this hoop uses a special kind of glowing dust/sand that, when charged with one of their special devices called a Sprite, makes the inside of the hoop glow in a hauntingly beautiful way for several hours.
This a beautiful product, a beautiful company, I strongly suggest everyone check out their website and support your local flow artists!
Keep dancing,
Ryan "Echo"
