The BioLogos Foundation is making a major, well-funded push to change the way Christians read Genesis and think about Adam and Eve
By Daniel James Devine
(WNS) Just a five-minute stroll from the campus of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., sits the brown brick building that is home since last year to BioLogos, a foundation pushing churches and believers to embrace evolution, and in the process change how they read the Bible.
The brainchild of Francis Collins, who now heads the National Institutes of Health, BioLogos has taken in nearly $9 million from the Templeton Foundation and millions more from other donors. BioLogos in turn offers grants to church, parachurch, and academic leaders and organizations that promote "evolutionary creation."
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma, former chair of Calvin's physics and astronomy department, says churches that support evolution will be more effective witnesses in a culture that reveres science, and will help college students avoid a crisis of faith when biology professors argue for evolution. The BioLogos website states, "Genetic evidence shows that humans descended from a group of several thousand individuals who lived about 150,000 years ago."
But Stephen Meyer, a Discovery Institute leader of the intelligent design movement, told WORLD BioLogos leaders are using "an unsubstantiated and controversial claim to urge pastors and theologians to jettison a straightforward reading of Genesis about the human race arising from one man and one woman. They think 'the science' requires such a reinterpretation, but apart from speculative models that make numerous question-begging assumptions, the science does no such thing."
The BioLogos website gives three options regarding the existence of Adam and Eve: "One option is to view Adam and Eve as a historical pair living among many 10,000 years ago, chosen to represent the rest of humanity before God. Another option is to view Genesis 2-4 as an allegory in which Adam and Eve symbolize the large group of ancestors who lived 150,000 years ago. Yet another option is to view Genesis 2-4 as an 'everyman' story, a parable of each person's individual rejection of God."
BioLogos is now spending $3.6 million (primary funder: Templeton) on 37 projects in the United States and around the world, with grants ranging from $23,000 to $300,000. According to the BioLogos website, funds go to "projects that explore consonance between evolution and Christian faith." Projects must not "reject the conclusions of mainstream science (e.g. old earth, common descent, etc.)." The requirement is not so stringent on the other side of the spectrum: Proposals cannot reject, but they can "helpfully inform … historic, creedal Christianity (e.g. historical Resurrection, high view of Scripture, etc.)."
The projects include:
A video series in Hawaii teaching evolution to Christian high-school students. Curricula for student groups or churches to "promote healthy dialogue on evolution and Christian faith." Outreach initiatives to Catholics, Nazarenes, Vineyard churches, and Spanish and French speakers.
A grant to Gordon College biology professor Craig Story to have 19 pastors spend a week learning from evolution-affirming scientists about DNA, galaxies, and biological change in microbes. "No one had a major meltdown," said Story. "It was just a really good week."
A grant to fund a speaking tour for Wheaton College Old Testament professor John Walton, allowing him to share his interpretation of the first chapters of Genesis, which he says aren't about the creation of the physical world. Walton sees Adam as a real person but one whom God did not literally make from the dust of the ground.
A grant to Trinity Western University biologist Dennis Venema to co-write a book about Adam and evolution. Venema said his chapters will show, using measurements of genetic diversity, that modern humans did not originate from a single Adam-and-Eve-like couple, but from a group of ancestors around 10,000 in size. That's consistent with the BioLogos belief statement that "God created humans in biological continuity with all life on earth."
Eastern University biology professor David Wilcox is using a BioLogos grant to write a book about human origins models. He's still weighing the options, but leans toward a model where Adam is the "chieftain" of a small, ancient tribe. One possibility for original sin, he says, is that it passed from Adam to his children via a process of enculturation and brain development. "We inherit sin, because we aren't human unless we're raised by other humans."
Another BioLogos grant recipient, Oliver Crisp, a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, says of Adam and Eve, "Maybe God implants in this pair a moral awareness and a likeness to God that was not present in other hominids." Deb Haarsma says BioLogos does not have a set position on whether Adam and Eve were historical individuals or symbolic: "How sin entered the world, when and where it got started, these are questions that we're researching and discussing."
BioLogos personnel such as program director Kathryn Applegate discount the idea of miracles in natural history and say the evolution process worked by itself, without special intervention from God along the way: "I don't think there's evidence from the science that He supernaturally zapped something into existence."
Some scientists are standing up against the BioLogos wave. David DeWitt, a biology professor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., believes Adam was directly created, and says the genetics measurements supposedly disproving Adam and Eve rely on doubtful "molecular clock" rates calibrated with the assumption that "evolution is true, and that chimps and humans have a common ancestor."
John West of the Discovery Institute, a leader in the Intelligent Design movement, says of BioLogos, "I don't see them getting more clear about what it is they actually believe." Were the first human beings created morally good? Or did they evolve as fundamentally selfish? The latter option would seem opposed to a traditional understanding of the fall, said West: "If you deny that, then when you say Jesus is your Savior—saving you from what? From His own botched creation?"
Jack Collins, a professor of Old Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, is the author of Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? He told me, "The actual historicity of Adam and Eve is extremely important as a fundamental Christian doctrine. … Christian doctrine is best understood as the true story of who we are and how we got to be where we are. … It will come apart if we don't tell the story with the proper beginning."
Collins added, "The Bible leads us to expect a special creation of humankind. … If we take the idea of a purely natural process from molecules to mankind, then I think that is very difficult to square with the Bible. … It might even be impossible."
Author Os Guinness hopes BioLogos and Intelligent Design leaders will join in helping evangelicals "recover a healthy, fearless, and constructive view of science" while combatting scientism: Guinness says such dialogue "can only bless us all in the end."

Karlovy Vary 2016: The Noonday Witch review
Published on 10 July 2016 11 December 2017 by CineVue
Shimmering corn fields and the blazing midday sun may not seem like natural environs for spooky supernatural horror, but Jiří Sádek's The Noonday Witch employs them to suitably disconcerting effect. With a tinge of Philip Ridley's The Reflecting Skin, it re-purposes a traditional Slavonic folktale – popularised both as a poem by Karel Erben and a symphonic ballad by Antonin Dvořák – into the conventions of modern horror. The original tale is laden with psychological potential and Sádek and his collaborators, Michal Samir and Matej Chulpacek, have channelled that into a very contemporary film steeped in dread but ultimately concerned with the twisting of grief and maternal anxiety.
The original tale told of a mother who invoked the Noonday Witch to take away her young son as a means of punishment. When the clock struck twelve, however, the witch actually materialised and in a desperate attempt to keep her son safe, the woman smothered him. A version of this woman is effectively placed into a rural Czech town in the film, not as the protagonist, but as the withered old crone whose tragedy marks the place's shared history. Arriving into this milieu is Eliska (Anna Geislerová) who brings her young daughter (Karolina Lipowská) there to start afresh in her husband Tomás' home town. His absence is unexplained, but her daughter's constant questioning of when he will join them places great emotional strain on Eliska.
That strain is echoed by the weather, a heatwave parching both the people and the land while Eliska keeps her secrets and tries to endure. This familial strife is the catalyst for all of the events of The Noonday Witch, which is as much a drama about the gnarled fingers of deceit and frustration as it is those of a supernatural threat. That said, Sádek still employs nighttime jump scares to keep the genre fans placated but the tension is far more effective during uneasy Straw Dogs-like moments with local men, terse exchanges between mother and daughter, and conversations in which the truth dare not be spoken.
The witch herself, perhaps more coping mechanism than spectral threat, has more than a hint of The Babadook about her nature, and young actress Lipowská gives nothing away as to how much of her mother's escalating fears she also shares – she seems more scared of her mother than anyone else. Despite a heart-stopping finale, for Eliska, the real demon is within and it's this conflict that powers The Noonday Witch, the genre trappings feel more decorative than imperative.
Ben Nicholson, Karlovy Vary

Installed iOS 5 and the brand new Reminders app that comes built-in, and wondering how to create one of those fancy new location-based Reminders. Luckily, once you're inside the Reminders app it's dead simple to add a task. From there it's super simple to add a location based reminder.
First tap into the Reminders app and click the + sign in the upper right hand corner to add a new reminder (or you can simply use an existing reminder and add a location to it).
By default the Reminders app just functions as a checklist of sorts with no default reminder time. To change this, tap into the reminder you just created or an already existing reminder.
Under the reminder name tap into Remind Me.
From there you have two reminder options - On a Day or At a Location. In this instance, you'll want to toggle At a Location to On.
You can choose to have that reminder set for your current location or you can tap in and use any address you'd like.
Once that's done you can choose whether you want the reminder to notify you when you leave or when you arrive at the location you specified in the previous step.
Tap Done in the upper right hand corner and you're good to go!
When you arrive or leave the location you specified, you should receive a push notification.
Now, in my experience location based reminders seem to cause a bit of battery drain considering location services has to check consistently for your position. Keep that in mind and use time based Reminders when you can instead.
Have any other Reminders tips to share? Smart ways you've figured out to use it? Leave us a comment and let us know!

Q: MVC Plugin Architecture and Entityframework I am building an application as follows;
There is only one table in the database  and the domain as a base entity (Ipage) which represents an html page when viewed by the public.  Inheriting that is an entity (IPageBuilder) which contains the information required to build the page, admin view.  The concept is to prerender pages on the admin side and store everything in a single table.  Below is the interface class for these two entities:
public interface IPage
{
    string BodyPreRender { get; set; }
    string ExcerptPreRender { get; set; }
    int ID { get; set; }
    bool IsPublished { get; set; }
    string Key { get; set; }
    string MetaTagsPreRender { get; set; }
    int Order { get; set; }
    string PageKey { get; set; }
}

public interface IPageBuild : IPage
{
    string Author { get; set; }
    string CreatedBy { get; set; }
    DateTime CreatedOn { get; set; }
    string Description { get; set; }
    string EditListItemPreRender { get; set; }
    string Html { get; set; }
    string Keywords { get; set; }
    string Language { get; set; }
    string MetaDescription { get; set; }
    DateTime? ReleasedOn { get; set; }
    string Title { get; set; }
    int Version { get; set; }
}

I have created an plugin manager which will discover a dll containing a plugin descriptor interface and create a list of plugins for use in the application. Here is the plug descriptor interface:
internal interface IPluginDescriptor
{
    Assembly Assembly { get; }
    string Author { get; }
    string AuthorUrl { get; }
    Type DomainType { get; }
    PlugInFactories Factories { get; }
    void Install();
    string Key { get; }
    string MenuName { get; }
    string Name { get; }
    string PageKey { get; }
    PluginRoute Route { get; }
    string SupportUrl { get; }
    void Uninstall();
    Version Version { get; }
}

What I would like to do is create a domain object within the plugin, which is based upon the base page builder class, thus allowing the plugin to create and store any web page it wants, such as:
public class Foo : IPageBuild
{
    public string FooInfo { get; set; }
}

In the application startup I would like to run a method in my plugin descriptor, call it install(), which will check the data table and see if it has a column for FooInfo. So what is best method to accomplish this task?  Thanks in advance.
In addition I have setup the columns in the table to be formatted as:

*

*Page_BodyPreRender,

*Page_ExcerptPreRender,

*etc.,

*Foo_FooInfo

I am using

*

*.Net Framework 4.0

*Entity Framework 4.3.1.0

*System.Data.SqlServerCe.Entity4.0.0.0

*System.Web.Mvc 3.0.0.0

A: Some time has gone by since I asked this question, so I thought I would attempt to answer it myself.  Basically I moved onto NHibernate to solve the problem.

The Colts
Based on interviews with Carl Moland
and Ray Brewster
The Colts and Edwards Air Force Base are both products of Bakersfield, California. As we'll see in a moment, the two overlapped to some extent.
The story of the Colts goes way, way back to 1942, when a 7-year old Carl Moland (resident of Bakersfield) traveled to Boley, Oklahoma to attend his grandfather's funeral. There, he saw three singing brothers: Melvin, Joe, and Rueben Grundy, along with their uncle, J.T. Williams. They were gospel singers, performing at a school because a tornado had recently destroyed their church. Although he didn't meet the brothers at the time, it turned out that Carl's parents had gone to school with the Grundys' parents. Zipping forward to 1954, the Grundy family had relocated to Bakersfield and all finally met up while attending Bakersfield High School.
Joe, Rueben, and Carl began singing gospel together, along with a fourth student, William "Gus" Davidson. Rueben and Gus were tenors, Carl was a baritone, and Joe was a baritone/bass. They made several appearances at churches, but remained nameless. Finally, branching out into secular music, they decided to call themselves the Melonaires.
The Melonaires were influenced by Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, and, interestingly, Day, Dawn And Dusk, who taught them a bit of choreography when they did some shows together in Bakersfield. (Later on, Earl "Speedo" Carroll, of the Cadillacs, would also show them some choreography.)
One day, Samuel "Buck" Ram, owner of Personality Productions and manager of the Penguins and that up-and-coming group, the Platters, stopped in Bakersfield to get a hamburger. While he thought about it, he called an old friend and asked if there was any local talent worth checking out. The friend, who was a bandleader, mentioned the Melonaires, who had done some local shows, including one with Country singer Spade Cooley.
Ram looked them up and had them audition for him. He liked what he heard (some gospel songs and their version of the Lancers' "Sweet Mama Tree Top Tall"). He told them to come down to Los Angeles (about 75 miles south of Bakersfield) when they'd graduated high school and he'd write some songs for them. By that time, the Platters' "Only You" was starting its climb to the top of the charts and the Melonaires realized that signing with Ram would be a good move.
So down to Los Angeles they went. Well, almost all. Gus Davidson's parents kept him from leaving for a tawdry show business life. Luckily, they found Leroy "Nick" Smith, a New Jerseyite who was just separating from the Air Force at Edwards Air Force Base (see, I told you it would overlap) and who was taking some courses at Bakersfield College (located on the same campus as the high school). Both Carl and Rueben were in the high school choir; Joe was in the college choir, along with Leroy.
Once the foursome hooked up with Buck Ram again, the first thing to go was the "Melonaires" name. Ram decided to call them the "Colts" (and their contract stipulated that he owned that name). As Carl says, "We were green as a peck of peas."
Jean Bennett, who worked with Ram at Personality Productions, remembered the name change. She said Buck came up with the name "Colts" because they were "such good-looking young studs. They drove all the girls wild." They were very nice young men "who knew how to work a crowd." She couldn't remember if Ram wrote "Adorable" specifically for them, or if it was a song already in his stockpile.
When they got to L.A., they all enrolled in Los Angeles City College, for a short while. Carl remembers that "we were working all day and singing all night." Not a good formula for college success. Ram decided to make them "cute," by having them wear college sweaters and embarrassing freshman beanies for their photo sessions. While they did wear the sweaters on stage, the beanies kept falling off and were quickly abandoned.
Ram also arranged for them to record for Larry Mead, who owned Perfection Plastic Products. This was a low-budget record pressing plant at 1486 North Fair Oaks Avenue. (As far as I can determine, the plant was literally in Mead's back yard.) Mead not only owned the pressing plant, but a couple of labels too: Mambo and Dig This Record. His A&R man was Mike Gradney (with whom he owned Mambo), who would start Spry Records in 1957 (for now, Gradney became the Colts road manager).
In early September 1955, the Colts' first record was released on Mambo: "Adorable"/"Lips Red As Wine" (with Rueben Grundy leading both sides). Buck Ram had written both tunes ("Lips" as "Lynn Paul"). However, as soon as the record was released, it promptly disappeared. Well, kind of. At this point, Larry Mead had second thoughts about the name of his label. While Mambo had been named to take advantage of the 1953-4 mambo craze, there was always the nagging suspicion that the distributors might pass it by, thinking it was a Latin music label instead of one specializing in R&B. Mead owned another label, Vita, first started in 1951, which had been dormant for a couple of years. He'd recently reactivated it and "Adorable" was re-released on Vita the same month.
"Adorable" started making a lot of noise in the Los Angeles area and soon it was a hit. (Very soon, since the Drifters recorded their cover version on September 19.) While the Colts made it to the national charts (#11) for only a single week, the Drifters ran for 10 weeks, including one week at #1. (This would be the first test for Johnny Moore, the Drifters new lead singer.) I can't remember ever hearing the Colts version at the time in New York. Worse, it was covered by the Fontane Sisters on Dot for the Pop market.
With their version of "Adorable" reaching #1 on Zeke Manners' KFWB show (after being aired for only a week), the Colts started getting work, appearing on the Larry Finley and Al Jarvis TV shows in Los Angeles.
The record was reviewed on September 17, with both sides rated "good." Other reviews that week were for the Charms' "One Fine Day," the Voices' "Hey Now," the Fi-Tones' "Foolish Dreams," and the Cashmeres' "There's A Rumor." By October 29, both the Colts and the Drifters were rated "Best Buys" by the trades.
In October, the Colts played the 400 Club in San Diego and were on Jerry Nesler's radio show there. Then, they were booked into a Hunter Hancock show at the Paramount (in Los Angeles) with Joe Houston, Dinah Washington, the Penguins, Big Jay McNeely, and the Platters. They (along with the Penguins and Mel Williams) were also guests on the Ray Robinson show, broadcast over KGFJ from Connoley's Record Store.
Soon, the Colts were back in the studio to provide a few lyrics to saxman Jackie Kelso's rendition of the currently-popular "Kwela Kwela" (there were versions by Bill Hayes and Buddy Morrow). Released in October 1955, nothing much happened with the song (they weren't on the flip) and the record was never sent out for review.
The Colts' next record was "Sweet Sixteen" (led by Joe Grundy), backed with "Honey Bun" (fronted by Rueben Grundy), released in January 1956. The former song was written by "Lynn Paul," but this time Buck Ram gave half the songwriting credit to Alan Freed (although I'm sure Freed had nothing to do with it). "Honey Bun" was written by the Penguins' Curtis Williams, along with "Lynn Paul." Freed played "Sweet Sixteen" a lot in New York, however it wasn't the Colts' original, but the cover by Bobby Byrd and the Voices.
Also in January, the Colts got to play the Apollo Theater during the week of January 6. Also on the bill were Count Basie, Joe Williams, George Kirby, and Coles & Atkins.
"Sweet Sixteen" received an "excellent" review on February 11, 1956, along with Ray Charles' "Drown In My Own Tears," Ivory Joe Hunter's "A Tear Fell," the Sounds' "Sweet Sixteen," the Penguins' "My Troubles Are Not At An End," and the Wrens' "C'est La Vie."
The last Vita record was issued in April 1956: "Never, No More"/"Hey You, Shoo Bee Ooh Bee," two more sides led by Joe Grundy. Joe wrote "Never, No More," while the flip was credited to the whole group (until it was re-released in 1962 on Plaza - as "Hey, Pretty Baby" - then, it had been magically re-written by Lynn Paul).
Also April, the Colts became part of Irvin Feld's "Biggest Rock 'N' Roll Show Of 1956." They shared the stage with along with Bill Haley and the Comets, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Clyde McPhatter, Lavern Baker, Joe Turner, Bo Diddley, the Drifters, the Flamingos, and the Teen Queens. This was a 45-day junket around the East Coast, the Midwest, Texas, and Canada. It kicked off in Hershey, Pennsylvania on April 20, continuing on to Atlantic City, New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Norfolk, Virginia; Scranton, Pennsylvania; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and White Plains, New York in the next six days (try plotting it on a map; it isn't pretty). They hit Chicago on May 11, and the entire tour wound up on June 6. A couple of days later, the Colts had their biggest TV appearance, on Jackie Gleason's "Stage Show."
Another eastern show was at the Town Casino in Buffalo, New York. They were told that it was a religious town and that they'd go over big by throwing in a gospel number. It worked; Carl says that they had to take seven encores to please the crowd. (They also sang their version of "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" on that show. This did little to endear them to the Four Aces, who were also on the bill.)
Then things began to fall apart. Joe Grundy received his draft notice and Buck Ram replaced him with bass Don Wyatt from Fresno. Don was studying piano with the sister of Mike Connors ("Mannix"), who introduced him to Buck Ram. Then brother Rueben Grundy left, and Ram brought in Eddie Williams, former lead singer of the Aladdins.
On May 26, the trades reviewed "Never, No More"/"Hey You, Shoo Bee Ooh Bee," with both sides receiving "good" ratings. Other reviews that week went to the Clovers' "Love, Love, Love," Big Maybelle's "Candy," Shirley Gunter & Flairs' "Headin' Home," the Spaniels' "Dear Heart," and the Magnificents' "Up On The Mountain."
In August 1956, the trades announced that Buck Ram had signed the Colts and Dolly Cooper to Dot Records, but somehow the deal for the Colts fell through. Dolly went on to record for Dot, and was actually backed up by the Colts on one side of her first Dot release "I'm Looking Through Your Window," a song that Leroy Smith had written.
After this, Buck Ram decided that the Colts should become more like the Platters. To this end, he added Mickey Lynn, wife (or girlfriend; accounts differ) of Mel Williams, and renamed them the "Four Colts And A Filly." Carl says they actually backed her on a couple of unremembered songs, which may never have been released. They appeared at Larry Potter's Supper Club, but she developed an "attitude" and the concept never took off.
The Colts (Eddie Williams, Leroy "Nick" Smith, Carl Moland, and Don Wyatt) then recorded a single song for Buck Ram's new Antler label: the venerable "Sheik Of Araby" (led by Don). For some reason, Buck didn't have them do a companion song and the tune was issued, in February 1957, with the older "Never, No More" as the flip. Note that the label incorrectly spelled sheik as "shiek."
The record was reviewed on March 9, with "Sheik" receiving an "excellent" rating. Other reviews that week were for Bob Kornegay's "The Man In The Phone Booth," the Moonglows' "Don't Say Goodbye," the Dells' "Why Do You Have To Go," Johnnie & Joe's "Over The Mountain, Across The Sea," the Crystals' "I Love My Baby," the Jivers' "Ray Pearl," and "Forever," the first solo by Sam Cooke (as "Dale Cooke"), receiving a "fair" rating.
In July, the Colts were headlining at the El Cortez Hotel in Las Vegas. Then, the Colts and the Harris Sisters were off to Honolulu for a one-month Hawaiian tour.
Also in July, Eddie Williams and Don Wyatt became band singers, providing the vocals for an RCA Camden EP called Rock'N Ram. Ram was the "bandleader" for a 26-piece orchestra under the direction of Eddie Beal. The record got a "good" review on July 29, spotlighting Eddie and Don, who were mentioned as members of the Colts.
The Colts also got some new members. Leroy Smith had decided to call it quits and went home to New Jersey; Carl Moland also left. They were replaced by tenor Prentice Moreland and baritone Ray Brewster. Now the Colts no longer contained a single original member.
Prentice Moreland (whose most famous utterance was "Great googa mooga, lemme outta here" on the Cadets' "Stranded In The Jungle") had been with a lot of groups, including the Du Droppers, the Dominoes, and the Chanteclaires.
Alton Ray Brewster had been a replacement in the Penguins in mid-1956 and was with them when they appeared with Alan Freed for his Labor Day show at the Brooklyn Paramount. (Ray and Penguin Curtis Williams had been in the same drama class at Jefferson High.) Another member of the Penguins at that time was Teddy Harper, who'd formerly been the baritone of the Aladdins; it was through Teddy that Ray met Eddie Williams initially.
The only member of the original Colts that Ray Brewster ever met was Leroy "Nick" Smith. When Ray was with the Penguins in 1956, Nick went with them to New York (probably to visit his family in New Jersey).
The re-formed Colts practiced a while with Eddie Beal and then did a Shrine Auditorium (Los Angeles) benefit show. No matter where they appeared, though, they never sang any of the original Colts material. I asked Ray if his Colts group ever wore the hokey sweaters and beanies. His answer was a resounding "Hell, NO!"
In September 1957, Ram re-released "Sheik Of Araby" on Antler. The flip was a tune that had been recorded by the "new" Colts: "Guiding Angel" (led by Eddie Williams).
Under the heading of "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow," when the new Antler release was reviewed, "Guiding Angel" was ranked "good," but "Sheik Of Araby" (shorn of its original bass intro) now received a "poor" rating, when only seven months before, it was considered "excellent." How have the mighty fallen! Other reviews on October 21, 1957 were for the Velours' "This Could Be The Night," the Teen Queens' "I Miss You," the Playmates' "Giddy-Up-A-Ding Dong," the Glowtones' "The Girl I Love," the Sentimentals' "I Want To Love You," the Embers' "Your Souvenir," the Rockin' Dukes' "Angel And A Rose," and Jimmy Ricks' "Lazy Mule."
But then the Colts realized that they weren't really getting anywhere with Buck Ram. He'd simply spread himself too thin and didn't have time for them. "Buck had practically ignored us," says Ray. While he gave them musical director Eddie Beal to placate them, they decided to leave Ram's empire.
However, they couldn't take the "Colts" name with them; Ram owned that. So the Colts became the "Fortunes" and embarked on a new career. November saw them open at the California Club in Los Angeles, then it was on to the Chi Chi Club in Palm Springs for 10 days (as the opening act for Jerry Lewis). They also accompanied actress Denise Darcel, who fancied herself a singer, on a two-week engagement in Phoenix, Arizona. At another appearance at the El Cortez Hotel in Las Vegas, they opened for old-time bandleader/singer Ted Lewis ("Is everybody happy?") Since the act between them and Lewis was a troupe of skaters from the Ice Follies, the stage was usually covered in ice!
They did a benefit show at a club called the Band Box which had regular meetings of an organization called the "Saints And Sinners." They were asked to entertain the members and were themselves inducted. This was a golden opportunity, since they met a representative of the William Morris talent agency and also someone from Decca Records. The Fortunes' fortunes were looking bright.
By November 1957, Rueben Grundy had teamed up with the DeVille Sisters and had a single release on Mike Gradney's new Spry label: "Every Word," backed with "Sail Away." "Every Word" would be recorded in the following year by Billy Jones (or Billy Fortune, but in reality Billy Storm, although his real name was Billy Spicer) and the Squires as "Everyword Of The Song." The "DeVille Sisters" was the stage name of Pattie, Lorrie, and Jeannie Slovick, originally from East Chicago, Indiana, but currently living in Long Beach, California.
In December, the Fortunes signed with Decca Records and had a single session on the 11th. Decca provided them with five songs, including "Tarnished Angel" (the theme to the soon to be released "The Tarnished Angels" starring Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone, and Jack Carson). None of the Decca material was particularly good in Ray Brewster's opinion, but it was what they were given. In spite of this, the singing is excellent.
"Tarnished Angel" (a pretty, if hokey song) was released in January 1958 to coincide with the release of the film; its flip was "Who Cares." (Both sides were led by Prentice Moreland.) Both sides were rated "good" on January 6, along with Bobby Lewis' "Mumbles Blues," the Charms' "Oh Julie," the Silhouettes' "Get A Job," Robert & Johnny's "We Belong Together," the Channels' "Altar Of Love," the Serenaders' "I Wrote A Letter," and the Bey Sisters' "Sentimental Journey."
In March 1958, Dootsie Williams presented a gold record to Redd Foxx, for his series of "Laff Of The Party," at an affair at the Club Oasis. The Fortunes were there, as were Sammy Davis Jr., Slappy White, Laverne Baker, the Penguins, and the Cufflinx.
The second Decca record, "Trees" (led by Don Wyatt), backed with "How Clever Of You" (fronted by Eddie Williams) was released in August 1958. It was reviewed on August 11 (both sides "fair") along with Chuck Berry's "Carol," the Cleftones' "She's So Fine," the Spaniels' "Stormy Weather," and Richard Berry & Lockettes' "The Mess Around."
The Fortunes remained together for around two years, but finally Prentice Moreland's drinking and attitude got to them. They were playing an engagement in Great Falls, Montana and he just got to be too much for them. "When he wasn't singing, he was a pain in the neck," says Ray.
How come the Fortunes never recorded again? Says Ray: "After that [Decca] recording [session] we signed with the William Morris Booking Agency. They booked us so often and all over the place that we kept putting off recording. Then Prentice with his problem caused the actual break up before we recorded another session."
In the fall of 1959, both Ray Brewster and Eddie Williams joined the Hollywood Flames. Don Wyatt had been with the Flames for a single session, while also with the Fortunes (he can be heard on "Frankenstein's Den," which was recorded on March 15, 1958). The week before, he had appeared on the Spade Cooley TV Show. Don ended up working with Nat "King" Cole, appeared in an episode of "Gomer Pyle," and was also a part of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
After a 1961 Chess session, Ray left the Hollywood Flames for the Cadillacs, replacing Earl "Speedo" Carroll, who had joined the Coasters. Ray led the Cadillacs as both Ray Brewster and "Bobby Ray" on their Capitol and Arctic sides.
But all wasn't quiet with the Colts. A May 1959 trade blurb said that "The Colts, newly released from the armed forces, back on record again on the new Delco label." Well, at least Joe Grundy had been discharged from the army. He got back with brother Rueben and Carl Moland, but Leroy Smith had departed for the wilds of New Jersey, so the fourth member was older brother Melvin Grundy (a tenor).
This aggregation ("Joe Grundy and the Colts") recorded two songs "Oh When You Touch Me" and "I Never Knew" for Leroy Hurte's Bronze label. Hurte, who had been a member of the 4 Blackbirds and the Jones Boys Sing Band in the 30s (two of the precursors of the Red Caps), had acquired Bronze around 1940, but shut it down a decade later, when he'd moved to New York. In 1958, he returned to Los Angeles and eventually started it up again. He wrote "Oh When You Touch Me" and presumably had high hopes for it, since the flip wasn't the Colts' "I Never Knew," but an instrumental version (by "Leroy Hurte & Orch."). The production run was small; only a couple of hundred copies. He then sold the Colts masters to the new Delco label (of Gardena, California) in April. Presumably because it wasn't part of the original release, "I Never Knew" would never have the same artist credit as its flip side. The first Delco release had "Oh, When You Touch Me" (which now had a comma in the title) by "The Colts, featuring Joe Grundy"; "I Never Knew" is just credited to "The Colts."
The record was reviewed on June 6, 1959 (with "Oh When You Touch Me" getting a "good" rating). Other reviews that week were for the Pals' "Summer Is Here," Cookie & the Cupcakes' "Until Then," Clyde McPhatter's "Twice As Nice," and Tarheel Slim & Little Ann's "It's Too Late."
Confusion time: Remember when Buck Ram christened the original group "The Colts" so that he could own the name? Well, now (presumably after reading the review of the record in the trades) he contacted Delco and "reminded" them of that. This led to the record being reissued with "The Colts" being replaced by the "Red Coats" on Del-Co (now with a hyphen). That is, "Oh, When You Touch Me" is by "The Red Coats, featuring Joe Grundy"; "I Never Knew" is just credited to "The Red Coats."
Strangely, it was also re-released, on Del-Co, as just "Joe Grundy" (on "Oh, When You Touch Me") and "Grundy Brothers" (on "I Never Knew"). Both sides have "The Red Coats" in smaller letters beneath the main artist name. It didn't matter, however, nothing ever happened with the record under any name.
The Delco labels are a mess. Aside from the artist names already mentioned, the label name is variously "Delco" and "Del-Co"; a company name is missing on the Colts record, but is "Del Company" on the Red Coats and "Del-Co Company" on the Grundy Brothers. The writer credit for "I Never Knew" was variously "Joe Grundy," "Joe Grundy - L. Hurte," and "Grundy Brothers." The writer of "Oh, When You Touch Me" was spelled "Hert" and "L. Hurte." (BMI has the writer credit for both songs as Joe Grundy and "Le Roy Hurtes.") Take a look at the label images above.
For some reason, Buck Ram re-released "Sweet Sixteen" on his Plaza label in April 1962. Its flip was "Hey You, Shoo Bee Ooh Bee" (now re-titled "Hey, Pretty Baby").
In 2012, Carl Moland is the last survivor of the original Colts; Joe, Rueben, Leroy, and Melvin are all deceased. Eddie Williams, from the later Colts/Fortunes, is still alive; Prentice Moreland and Don Wyatt are deceased. Ray Brewster died in November 2020.
And that's the story of the Colts. A lot of good music from a lot of talented singers.

Everyday Hero: Aspermont coach mentor to many
Scott Kirk
Special to the Reporter-News
Editor's note: The Reporter-News is publishing stories on Everyday Heroes, nominated by readers, through the beginning of next year.
ASPERMONT — Zach Morris said that it was his high school coach in Rotan, C.H. Underwood, who gave him his coaching philosophy.
"He said, 'You have to treat them like they were your own,'" said Morris, the boys basketball coach for the Aspermont Hornets. "Whether you're disciplining them or loving on them."
The advice obviously resonated with Morris, who has been coaching and teaching in Aspermont for the past 13 years. His care for his players has become a hallmark of his coaching.
"He gets you ready for life," said Wes Smart, who graduated from Aspermont High School in 2011. "He was the dad I wanted to be."
Another former player, Chase Odom, recalls his first meeting with Morris came the summer Odom moved to Aspermont. Morris came over to the Odoms' house and rousted the youngster out of bed to get him to football two-a-day practices.
"I never actually had a coach who was involved enough to come to my house," Odom wrote in an email. "I didn't know what to think about this person. That was the day that he helped start me on my journey to not only being a better athlete, but also being a better person."
When Odom's father was in a serious accident, Morris helped him work through his emotions, Odom said.
"It would have been easy to 'give up' and lose all the momentum I had going. He was a true role model for me and I worked through that painful time," he said.
Not all the lessons Morris imparts to his athletes are appreciated at the time.
"Oh, we butted heads," said Smart, who told of a time when Morris ran his basketball players unmercifully after he discovered they had broken a contract they signed with him to abstain from soft drinks and sugar during basketball season.
"We thought he was just being mean," he said. "He was trying to teach how important it was to live up to contracts."
"Coach helped me understand what it was to be a father, that sometimes we can't be the best friend and sometimes we can," Smart said.
Today, Smart and Odom count Morris as a mentor and as a good friend.
"He's held my babies," said Smart.
To Morris, seeing his former players grow to be responsible citizens, good husbands and good fathers is the payoff for all the hours he spends with them.
"The wins are important, but it's more important to see what they become," he said. "That's what I stay in touch with them for."
Morris has not only had an influence as a basketball and football coach, but he's also the go-to guy for a lot of things in Aspermont. He's the principal for the high school and junior high, the athletic director and started the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in Aspermont. He helps his wife with Christmas Angel Free for needy families and even coached Little Dribbler Basketball teams. Morris said he hasn't looked at taking other coaching jobs.
"For me, Aspermont has been great," he said. "I noticed that coaches who start moving seem to keep moving, and I didn't want to do that to my family. I don't see any reason to be anywhere else."

Gorilla Filmmaking
On Escape from Tomorrow, how Disney works, and why more people seriously need to read David Foster Wallace already.
(Image of the Jungle Cruise from Werner Weiss's excellent Yesterland.com site)
There's a movie called Escape from Tomorrow that's coming out soon, and holy crap is it edgy and in your face. Apparently it's about a man having an American Beauty-style mid-life crisis freak-out at Walt Disney World-but-also-Disneyland-somehow. It's notable because it was made using "guerrilla filmmaking" techniques, i.e. using digital SLRs inside the parks without permission. The marketing page has a Mickey hand dripping with blood and animated GIFs of a woman saying "I HATE YOU" with a version of the Walt Disney's signature font, and a man totally doing it with the words "HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH" super-imposed, so as you can tell they are seriously sticking it to The Mouse.
Plus there's this puff piece preview of the movie on The Daily Beast that describes it as "Disney's Worst Nightmare" and "the film that Disney doesn't want you to see."
Now, I understand, more or less, how movie promotion works. And I know that drumming up controversy is one of the best ways to sell something, short of actually making it good. But let's all be clear on one thing: the only film that Disney doesn't want you to see is whatever film is playing against Frozen on opening weekend.
A movie like this is only going to increase the aura and allure around Disney parks; the only way a project like this would've been any kind of a threat to Disney is if it'd been set at Universal Studios, and it implied that those parks have the same cultural cachet as Disney World. But then, it never would've been set at Universal, because making fun of Universal isn't A Thing. The people involved in the promotion of this movie don't seem to realize that Disney had already "won" before the movie was even made. Having a brand that's iconic enough to make people want to tear it down means that the brand is working as intended.
That Daily Beast article describes a little bit of the process of making the movie.
Season passes for Disney World and Disneyland were purchased for the cast and crew, and filming commenced in September 2010. Worried that someone would leave a script in the bathroom and they'd be discovered, the cast and crew stored scripts and shot lists for the film on their iPhones. To create the illusion that they were tourists, two cameramen filmed using the video mode of digital single-lens reflex cameras. […] On a given day, the covert crew would range from eight to 15 people, including Moore, two cameramen, the assistant director, the actors, the child actors—each accompanied by a real-life parent—and a PA carrying water, "because water is a thousand dollars a bottle there," jokes Moore.
The message that's supposed to stand out to readers is, "Those filmmakers risked a lot to really put one over on the greedy Disney fat cats." The message that stands out to Disney is, "Those filmmakers bought annual passes for both resorts for the entire cast and crew."
It's far more likely that Disney security was concerned about the crew filming because of its potential to create a dangerous situation for guests, resulting in a lawsuit; or that the crew was taking video of backstage areas or ride operation, which could be used in corporate espionage. The threat that their brand would be tarnished, that this crew would expose the dark secrets behind the magic, was I'm sure the farthest thing from their minds.
In "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction", David Foster Wallace's astoundingly prescient essay, he writes about how the medium of television has become impervious to criticism because it is incapable of looking inward. It exists solely to be watched, so ascribing any other kind of agenda or motivation to it betrays a failure to understand how it works.
Of course, Disney's a corporation and not an entire medium (although I'm sure they're working on that), so the comparison isn't perfect. But the basic idea is the same: Disney is so large and so well known that it's not threatened by cultural criticism or parody. In fact, it feeds off of it.
It's not even that subtle a concept. In MuppetVision 3D, which is now over 20 years old, Rizzo the Rat comes out during the pre-show dressed as Mickey Mouse and humming the Mickey Mouse Club theme. The climax of the movie — "A Salute to All Nations But Mostly America" — has characters from "it's a small world" firing guns and cannons at each other and the audience while a version of the small world ride's theme plays. Statler and Waldorf make jokes about being animatronics. On the Jungle Cruise, one of the standard Disney-approved gags is about how children left behind on the boats are captured and made to work in the "it's a small world" ride.
In other words, Disney has been making fun of itself and its wholesome image for a long time. And even if there was a period where the company was ultra-uptight about anything that could threaten the brand, now in 2013 they're more open to mash-ups and re-imaginings and re-interpretations than ever before. The company still caters to the people who are as reverent to the parks as to any religion, and to the people whose eyes glaze over when they talk about "The Magic," but it's astoundingly naive to believe that a company could grow that large targeting such a relatively small audience of obsessives.
Even the people who do unabashedly love Disney still make fun of the enforced whimsy and the preoccupation with the magic of dreams and imagination. Actually, we probably make fun of it more often, since we're more often seeing children having complete meltdowns when surrounded by characters with smiling, wide-eyed faces.
To be clear, I'm probably going to check out Escape from Tomorrow at some point. If only to see CGI used around so many Disney landmarks, and because the guy with the Spaceship Earth head is kind of a neat image. I'm not protesting the movie; I'm protesting the idea that it's in any way controversial or threatening or even novel. "Counter-culture" has spent decades going after Disney as a representation of everything Mainstream Capitalist America, by making fun of the rides or drawing the characters screwing or Mickey Mouse giving the finger. It just seems facile, and even more juvenile and infantilizing than "it's a small world."
I expect to do a lot of eye-rolling when I actually see the movie, though. Unless the marketing team is completely independent of the filmmaking team, which seems unlikely based on the quotes about "a team of Disney lawyers descending on your home" in that Daily Beast article. The tone behind it, and that whole website, seem like a much more blatantly dishonest attempt to manipulate the audience than anything I've ever seen in a Disney parade or fireworks show.
P.S. The title of this post made a lot more sense when I was thinking of describing Disney as a 900-pound gorilla, but then I forgot to make the metaphor. Whoops.

Cassandra Lee of Delta makes a pass Tuesday versus Otsego in a Division III girls soccer sectional semifinal. The Panthers disposed of the Knights with ease, 12-0.
Samantha Maurer of Delta drives the ball near the Otsego goal during Tuesday's game. She had a goal in the contest.
Kayla Kunar of Delta advances the ball up the field.
Delta tallied four goals in the first 10 minutes and that was pretty much all she wrote, finishing with seven first half goals total in a 12-0 win at home over Otsego in a Division III girls soccer sectional semifinal Tuesday.
Their first two goals came a minute and 14 seconds apart from one another. Alayna Mitchell found an opening in front of the net 1:44 in for a 1-0 lead. Then, at the 37:02 mark, Jessie Giguere intercepted a goal kick and fired it into the back of the net.
The Panthers would make it 3-0 when Marissa Cargill raced past the Otsego defense and scored with just under 33 minutes left in the half.
Mitchell scored her second goal roughly two minutes later, taking advantage of a whiff from a Knight defender to increase their lead to four. Next up was Mariah Mattimore, who fired one home while falling to the ground with defenders draped on her with 23:11 to go in the half.
Cassandra Lee finished off scoring in the half for Delta with a pair of goals.
Her first was a beauty as she overcame a tough angle to loft one over the Otsego goalkeeper from the left side, extending it to 6-0 with 18:26 remaining.
Lee added another later in the half, closing out the scoring.
Mitchell, Giguere, and Lee – three of Delta's four seniors – each finished with multiple goals. Recording a hat trick was Lee.
"That's what I knew was our strength (this season), is that we had a good class of seniors," said Triana. "They grew up playing soccer (together). I knew that we could always count on them throughout the year.
Giguere started scoring in the second half when she put one in from just inside the penalty area 2:11 in. This made the margin 8-0.
Other second half goals came from Samantha Maurer, Lee, Anna Munger and Courtny Helton.
The Panthers will now prepare for a sectional final matchup with NWOAL champion Liberty Center Saturday at 2 p.m.

Q: How to generate a summary of a linear model using two conditions in R? Assume that a dataset has the variables Age, Gender and Height. How to create a linear model based on age that only considers ages between 18 to 21.
This is what i have so far and it works, but I don't know how the && operator works in R.
model1 <- lm(formula = Age > 18 ~ Gender + Height, data = myDataSet)

But when I try adding my second condition the following error occurs:
model2 <- lm(formula = Age > 18 && <21 ~ Gender + Height, data = myDataSet)

ERROR:
 Error: unexpected '<' in:
"model2 <- lm(
  data=myDataSet, formula= Age > 18 && <"

user11916948 ANSWER:
model3 <- lm(formula = Age>18 & Age<21 ~ Gender + Height, data = myDataSet)
summary(model3)

A: You could try
age>18 & age<21

A: If you mean to create two different models for the Age being in two ranges, then you have to use corresponding datasets:
model1 <- lm(formula = Age ~ Gender + Height, data = myDataSet[which(myDataSet$Age < 18), ])

model2 <- lm(formula = Age ~ Gender + Height, data = myDataSet[which(myDataSet$Age > 18 & myDataSet$Age < 21), ])

The above models will predict Age (numerical value). The models which are described in the question will predict whether the age < 18 or not (TRUE / FALSE value)


Wow Your Customers with Custom-Shaped Flash Drives!
The new custom-shaped flash drives available from CFGear showcase the marriage of creativity with technology. Really and truly, your imagination is the limit! If you can describe it, draw it out, or show our team the shape and color(s) that you want, we can create a custom-designed flash drive to suit your specifications — as simple or outlandish as they may be!
If you're not convinced that this new product offers the ultimate in flexibility, just take a look at our official list of not-so-specific specifications. I mean, "Material: Almost anything" and "Sizes: Almost anything you want" really says it all! Of course, the great flexibility involved in the "guts" of the drive are awesome, too, ranging from 256 MB to 16 GB.
In case you still need convincing, check out this awesome shaped project we did in February 2012 for Subsurface Utility Exploration, or "SUE." We started with SUE's unique subsurface utility vacuum trucks. Two other companies had declined to attempt such a detail-driven drive, but at CFgear, we have that Sioux Falls, South Dakota toughness that gets us through snow-covered winters and all kinds of other obstacles.
As if we weren't already straining at the elbows from patting ourselves on the proverbial backs (I guess that would lead to a rare form of proverbial straining?), we received a letter from the President of SUE, Brent Anderson. He used words like "magnificent" and "first class" and "fabulous." In his litany of accolades, he also mentioned that they'd already taken the flash drives to a trade show, where they received "rave reviews." We couldn't pay for that kind of publicity!
Seriously, we'd love to help you find an innovative way to showcase your school, business, or other organization in a way that helps you stand out from the crowd. Just like our other flash drive options, our custom-shaped drives are a cost-effective, green, and smart way to advertise or provide files of all types to your employees, students, or target clientele.
We ship out 50,000 to 100,000 flash drives each week, but no order escapes our care and commitment to quality. Like Mr. Anderson, we'd love to discuss your challenging order and have a chance at topping your highest expectations, too. You can start the conversation by filling out our online form so you can receive our "BACKINAFLASH" quote, as soon as possible.

Omid Zareh, Coudert Brothers, New York City (Douglas F. Broder, of counsel), for Plaintiff-Appellant.
Marianne T. O'Toole, Assistant United States Attorney, Southern District of New York, New York City (Mary Jo White, United States Attorney, Gideon A. Schor, Assistant United States Attorney, of counsel), for Defendants-Appellees.
Before: WINTER, Chief Judge, JACOBS and LEVAL, Circuit Judges.
M.B., a prisoner in the United States Witness Protection Program, appeals from Judge Knapp's adverse grant of summary judgment. M.B. alleges violations of his rights under the Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments in connection with prison disciplinary actions taken by appellees, all present or former employees of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The claims arise out of incidents that occurred in 1994 and 1995 while M.B. was incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
We have already rejected a number of M.B.'s claims in a previous decision rendered by summary order. M.B. # 11072-054 v. R.M. Reish, et al., No. 96-2347 (2d Cir. Dec.27, 1996). In the instant appeal, M.B. argues that Judge Knapp's grant of summary judgment should be reversed on the grounds that the district court erred in not giving M.B., then a pro se litigant, adequate notice of the consequences of an insufficient response to a motion for summary judgment and in staying M.B.'s discovery requests. We disagree.
Appellant claims that Ruotolo v. IRS, 28 F.3d 6 (2d Cir.1994), in which we reversed a grant of summary judgment that had been entered against pro se plaintiffs for failure to respond to the motion, mandates reversal in the instant case. We reversed a grant of summary judgment in Ruotolo on the ground that the trial court had not advised the pro se plaintiffs that their case would be dismissed if they did not respond to the summary judgment motion. 28 F.3d at 8. See also Champion v. Artuz, 76 F.3d 483 (2d Cir.1996). Ruotolo and Champion do not, however, mandate reversal in the instant case where appellant did in fact respond to the opposing motion for summary judgment and where the record is clear that he understood the need to set forth all available evidence demonstrating a genuine dispute over material facts.
There is no requirement that the district court affirmatively advise the pro se litigant of the nature and consequences of a summary judgment motion if the pro se litigant has otherwise been adequately notified or is already aware of such consequences. In Champion we held that an "easily comprehensible notice from the party moving for summary judgment would suffice," Champion, 76 F.3d at 486, and in Ruotolo we explicitly grounded our reversal of summary judgment on the basis that the plaintiffs "did not understand the district court's procedure with respect to summary judgment motions," Ruotolo, 28 F.3d at 9.
Unlike the plaintiffs in both Ruotolo and Champion, M.B. responded to the motion for summary judgment with a 27-page declaration of facts with 104 pages of exhibits, a 40-page memorandum of law, a cross-motion for summary judgment in plaintiff's favor, a counter "3(g) statement" of facts pursuant to the local rules of the Southern District, and a request for further discovery. Furthermore, in his papers M.B. made it clear that he understood the consequences of a summary judgment motion and the requirements of a successful response. M.B. states that his papers were intended to show "clear factual disputes preventing summary judgement," that he was addressing appellees' assertions and "providing documentary support" for his counter-assertions "whenever and where ever [sic] possible," and that "there seems to exist a material issue of fact which presents a genuine issue to be tried, which precludes summary judgment." We therefore hold that M.B. had adequate notice of the requirements of a summary judgment motion and of the failure to sufficiently respond to such a motion.
We similarly reject M.B.'s contention that he was improperly denied discovery by the district court pending resolution of the summary judgment motion. We have held that a "trial court enjoys wide discretion in its handling of pre-trial discovery, and its rulings with regard to discovery are reversed only upon a clear showing of an abuse of discretion." Cruden v. Bank of New York, 957 F.2d 961, 972 (2d Cir.1992). For the most part, M.B.'s claims were insufficient as a matter of law or could not have been aided by discovery. For example, his Eighth Amendment claims required a showing of deliberate indifference by prison officials, Wilson v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 111 S.Ct. 2321, 115 L.Ed.2d 271 (1991), and the record before the district court was sufficient for it to conclude that no amount of discovery would breathe life into them. The only claim that might arguably have benefited from discovery was the claim asserted against Caren Gibson that she had retaliated against M.B. by instructing an inmate--with whom she was allegedly having an affair--to assault M.B. However, M.B. offered no evidence in support of this claim other than his own statements, which he conceded were not based on personal knowledge. Further, he told Judge Knapp that the inmate would not give sworn evidence of the alleged instructions in the instant matter. Judge Knapp's denial of discovery was therefore within his discretion because M.B. failed to present any credible basis to suggest that discovery would produce favorable evidence relating to this claim. Indeed, M.B.'s requests for discovery seem not to have been directed to the retaliation claim.

Putting 1,000 hours into a Gatling gun replica is a labor of love (VIDEOS)
Ohio-based Anderson Guncraft has been making functional Gatling Guns since 1967 and isn't looking back.
The FFL Type 7 Manufacturer started when John Anderson read a "Guns & Ammo" magazine article on the venerable hand-cranked gun and wondered if he could build one. That kind of "because it's there" philosophy endured and today Anderson Guncraft not only does restorations on old guns but specializes in crafting fully functional full-size 10 barrel replica Gatlings based on the Models 1874, 1877, 1892, and 1895 in .30-40 Krag and .45-70.
Each Anderson Gatling takes about 1,000 hours to make. Featuring cast bronze parts, engraving, and an attention to historical detail, they have had cameos in a host of big-budget Hollywood films such as The Last Samurai and the recent remakes of The Magnificent Seven and 3:10 to Yuma.
Anderson has been working on both a Model 1874 and an 1877 over the past few months and have been documenting the process on their social media page.

So how does it all mesh together? Take a look at an 1874 Camel gun replica under construction by Anderson to get a feel for the action.
Followed up with the gears…
Anderson hopes to have the guns ready to display at the Sept. 8-9 Ohio Gun Collectors Association meeting in Wilmington, Ohio.
"It will be an awesome display of late 19th Century firepower," notes the company, going on to say, "The icing on the cake would be purchasers for both guns at the meeting."

I wanted to run a bare metal hypervisor on my home server, and for now it will be VMware ESXi, which is available in a free edition (you need to register, but thats it!). It turns out, that VMware ESXi 5.5. cannot be installed on my Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi5-4570R without a custom image, since there are no drivers included for the onboard Realtek RTL8111G Gigabit NIC.
As this is the only NIC present, the installer aborts. There is a VMware package called net-r8168, which enables ESXi to use the 8111G NIC as well.
PowerCLI provides a way to create a custom installer media, which can be setup to include the NIC driver.
Now you can use some Get-cmdlets to see which packages and profiles are available. The Get-EsxSoftwarePackage with proper filtering is useful to see whats available – for drivers the description attribute is quite interesting.
To make an ISO for the Gigabyte Brix I have used the following cmdlets – edit paths as needed.
New-EsxImageProfile -CloneProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-standard" -name "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-GigabyteBrix"
Note: The Export-ESXImageProfile can take some time to complete, since PowerCLI is downloading the content from the online repository.
