Filming for the pilot of Super Clyde has officially wrapped! During the week-long shoot, a few behind the scenes images managed to trickle out. Below, we've linked to photos including Rupert Grint with Stephen Fry (Randolph the butler), Rupert with Stanley Miller (rumored Young Clyde) and the first photo of the three siblings together, all in costume (Tyler Labine and Justine Lupe sit on either side of Rupert).
If any of these photos are yours and you would like to receive proper credit, please let us know in the comments or get in touch.
CBS will announce in May whether or not Super Clyde will be picked up for the fall season. Stay tuned!

"I'll make sure I wear this at home," Kate, laughing, said as she was handed the badge, emblazoned with the London Underground logo.
Wearing a Malene Birger coat and black beret, Kate was along for the ride with Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip. The visit helped mark the 150th anniversary celebrations of the subway network.
Touring the Baker Street station, Kate, 31, revealed she "missed" traveling on the public transport system.
"She said she used the tube on a regular basis before she was married," Howard Collins, chief operating officer of London Underground, tells PEOPLE.
Tim Rooke / REX USA
The Queen, who wore a summer tweed dress by Karl Ludwig and hat by her in-house designer Angela Kelly, looked a bit frail following her bout with a stomach bug that put her into the hospital. Wednesday's visit was her first public outing since then. It was also the third time Kate had joined the monarch for an engagement.
The royal party met staff and toured the trains before the 86-year-old monarch named a brand new train the Queen Elizabeth II.
Across the station, on other platforms, surprised commuters craned their necks for a view, and many didn't get on passing tube trains so they could stay and watch the royals.

quote: Apple needed the stores to sell its products at insane profit margins by eliminating middle men. It was necessary since Apple did not sell in large volume.
quote: Apple's revenues will plummet as soon as people like you will take off the blind fold, stop following jobs' every word, and buy the product that best suits their need and offers the best ratio of performance/cost. Oh, and when Apple tries competing in the tech market with innovation rather than lawyers, BS patents, and "you're-not-cool-if-you-don't-own-this" marketing.

A single father with eight children is trying to find a new place to live after a fire destroyed his house last week.
Alvin Muldrew said he was just getting to work at his assembly line job on the night of July 24 when he got a call that his house near 13th Street and Benton Boulevard was on fire.
"As soon as I pulled in the parking lot of the job, I got the call that said the house was on fire and that I had to come back," he said.
He said he returned home to find all eight children safe, but his six-bedroom house was destroyed.
Muldrew said his son Rameil, 16, ran out of the house with his older siblings and didn't realize that the youngest child, Jada, 3, was still inside. Rameil ran back into the burning house and followed Jada's screams until he could find her and carry her out.
"She was crying, and that's what led me on to find her," said Rameil Muldrew. "She was upstairs, just jumping up and down screaming,"
Alvin Muldrew said he had four of the children with his common-law wife and four are his wife's from a previous relationship. She went to prison three years ago on drug convictions and he has legal custody of all the children. He said he's determined to keep the family together.
After the fire, Muldrew said he needs to find a new home. The family is currently staying with relatives in a two-bedroom apartment.
He said he hopes to find a new home that's big enough for everyone and also close to the area where they've lived for the last 10 years. He said he'll also have to replace the clothes that the children lost.

A body was found floating in the Charleston Harbor near the jetties across from Sullivan's Island Friday morning, a news release from the Charleston County Sheriff's Office confirmed.
Detectives are continuing their investigation, and the identity of the deceased and reason for death are unknown at this time. The Charleston County Coroner's Office is assisting.
At 6:23 a.m., a boater called 911 to report the body. Sullivan's Island Rescue, Isle of Palms Rescue, Charleston County Sheriff's Office Marine Patrol and the United States Coast Guard responded to the scene and recovered the body "shortly after 7 a.m.," the release noted.

Learning how to make cool bracelets is easy with this lovely project from Absolute Crystal Components. Use beautiful Swarovski pearl beads and crystals to create a chic bracelet for yourself or your friends.
- 2 Crystal Pendants - Smoked Topaz & Lt Colorado Topaz
- 1 Toggle Set Dainty - Light Colorado Topaz
- 4 Falling Star Charms - Light Colorado Topaz
- 5 Swarovski 6mm Round Pearl Bead - Bronze
- 2 Swarovski 4mm Bicone - Light Colorado Topaz
- 5 Swarovski 4mm Bicone - Smoked Topaz
- 4 Swarovski 6mm Bicone - Golden Shadow
- 5 Swarovski 6mm Bicone - Light Colorado Topaz
- 6 Swarovski 6mm Bicone - Smoked Topaz
- 4 Metal Beads
- 5 Metal Spacers
- 12 4mm SP&L Jump Rings
- 1 8mm SP&L Jump Rings
- 10 Beadalon 1.0" Head Pin
- 12 Beadalon 1.0" Eye Pin
- Oval Link Chain
- Creating the dangles. To create the Crystal Bicone, Pearl and Metal dangles start by sliding your beads on a head pin, create a loop on the top of the last bead and cut the excess wire (see Jewelry Making Techniques- Head Pin Loop). Repeat this process until you have completed:
- 3 one 4mm Swarovski Bicone followed by a metal spacer and a 6mm Swarovski Pearl
- 2 one 6mm Swarovski Bicone followed by a metal spacer and a 6mm Swarovski Pearl
- 2 one 4mm Swarovski Bicone followed by a metal bead
- 3 one metal bead followed by a 4mm Swarovski Bicone
- 3 one 4mm Swarovski Bicone followed by a metal spacer and a 6mm Swarovski Pearl
- Making the Center Piece. Open the 8mm SP&L Jump Ring and go through the pointed loop of your pendants (center loop of the bottom). Be sure the both pendants have the crystal face to the same side. Before you close your jump ring slide all your dangles created before and close the jump ring. On the external loops attach one Falling Star Charm on each loop by using 4mm SP&L Jump Rings. Reserve the center piece until you create the strands for your bracelet.
- Creating a Crystal Chain. Before we create a crystal chain we have to create crystal links. To create the single crystal link start by sliding a 6mm Swarovski Crystal Bicone on an eye pin and make a loop on top of the bead and cut the excess wire. Repeat this process until you complete twelve 6mm Swarovski Crystal links. To create the crystal chain connect the crystal links by opening one loop of the eye pin and attaching it to the bottom loop of another single crystal link. Make two chains with six links. Cut four pieces of the Oval Link Chain of the same length than the crystal chains (Approximately 3 inches).
- Bringing it all together. Take your center piece. Using 4mm Jump Rings attach the pieces of metal chain to the external loops of the pendants. Open a jump ring and go through the center loop of the pendant and through one of the ends of the crystal chain and close. Repeat this step in the other pendant.
- Attaching the Crystal Toggle. To attach the toggle bar take the very end of the bracelet, place a jump ring through the end of each chain (two oval metal and one crystal chain) then through the toggle loop and close your jump ring. Repeat this step on the other end using the round Crystal toggle.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine frequently appears in the news headlines, yet many Americans do not know about the chaotic conditions in that country. Most citizens are aware that Israel receives aid from the United States, and they know the Holy Land lies within its borders. Beyond that are complex injustices that have resulted in violence.
Without understanding both sides of the conflict, the path to peace never can be freed of its obstacles, according to a press release from Tiffin Area Pax Christi, an ecumenical peace and justice organization. The group is hosting a one-day conference called Israel/Palestine: Pathways to Peace" Oct. 23 at Elizabeth Schaefer Auditorium, 190 St. Francis Ave., Tiffin.
A variety of workshops are to help those seeking a greater understanding of the issues, as well as the longtime advocates who wish to network and find better ways to work for lasting peace. Jo Hollingsworth of Fostoria lined up the speakers for the conference. A member of Hope Lutheran Church, she said she took an interest in peace and justice issues when U.S. forces invaded Iraq after the terrorist attacks, and she joined the newly formed chapter of Pax Christi at that time.
"I've been a peace person for a long time, and I was particularly concerned because, from what I got out of the news, it didn't sound like we (the U.S.) knew what we were doing," Hollingsworth said.
Although Hollingsworth has not visited the Holy Land, she is planning to go next fall with a group. She said she will use her aptitude for languages to learn enough vocabulary to speak with some of the people while she is there. She has attended multiple talks by Jim Bailey and Sr. Paulette Schroeder. The conference in Tiffin also is to give her additional background on the history of the turmoil in Israel/Palestine. Hollingsworth explained how the conference was conceived.
"Tiffin Area Pax Christi received a donation of $500 from Trinity United Church of Christ in Tiffin. We decided we needed to do something with that. Sr. Paulette (Schroeder) has been a Christian peacemaker over there, and Jim Bailey, one of our members, took a trip over there. ... We thought, two of our members have been over there and found this to be a really important topic," Hollingsworth said. "That's how we as a group decided on that."
She agreed to chair the conference with limited knowledge of the speakers who might be available. Hollingsworth said she wanted the conference to have a regional appeal to attract people from major cities. In "stumbling around" to find presenters, she landed on some experts.
"I would come up with an idea, and things would take off," Hollingsworth said. "I wanted this to work at several levels. I want people who don't really know much about what's going on and would like to learn more about it. So there are going to be people to talk about what's happening over there, which Paulette has done. If there are people who are interested from a different standpoint, I got John Quigley, who, it turns out, is a real name in the international law world."
Quigley is to talk about the role of international law in the peace process. Hollingsworth said she had "vaguely heard of" Friends of Sabeel so she researched the organization and discovered it gives conferences that draw people from a wide area. Jeff Abood, who ran a Sabeel conference in Cleveland, agreed to speak in Tiffin. In addition, he referred Hollingsworth to other groups that might make presentations.
Bailey was able to engage the keynote speaker, Mark Braverman, Barbara Harvey from Detroit and moderator Douglas Kerr. Hollingsworth said she discovered Linda Mansour at one of Schroeder's presentations. When the anti-Islamic issues, such as the burning of the Koran, started heating up, Hollingsworth decided to find a speaker that could stem the growth of what she calls "Islamaphobia."
As Braverman said, only a small percentage of Christians are affected by the conditions in Israel/Palestine. Most have left the area. The Palestinians, who are not allowed to travel freely, are predominantly Muslim. The conference is to educate Christian Americans, who know little about the Jewish and Muslim religions.
"We're not doing this because our Christian brethren are suffering. ... We're more familiar with Jews, but we don't know much about Muslims, except for 9/11, and what we know is not positive," Hollingsworth said. "I didn't know anybody except for Dr. Hussain, who has a column in the (Toledo) Blade. So I invited him."
Hollingsworth emphasized the conference is not just for educators and scholars. It is for anyone who wants to learn more about the conditions in Israel/Palestine. Hearing information from different perspectives can be useful in forming one's own opinion about the issues.
"We want the everyday person to come. ... We're offering this as an opportunity to learn," she said.
As a break-out, participants can view the DVD "Life in Occupied Palestine," which follows the activities of activist Anna Baltzer. Hollingsworth said the film is an objective look at the events in the Middle East. She also recommends the nonfiction book by Sandy Tolan, "The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew and the Heart of the Middle East." She calls these two sources "easy access" to the topic.
Skip Schiel's collection of photographs of the Gaza Strip, now on exhibit at the Fostoria Community Arts Council gallery in Fostoria, is being brought to Tiffin for viewing by conference participants.

Ever wonder how wines get such quirky names – "Mollydooker," "Big House White," "Frenzy," "Gnarly Head," "Mossback?"
Here's how:
The most colorful – even silly – of the monikers are called "fantasy" names, because they're simply created in the winemaker's head.
Iconic California winemaker Randall Grahm named his Rhone-style red wine "Cigare Volant," or "Flying Cigar," the French term for "flying saucer," in satirical honor of a French ordinance banning the landing of alien spacecraft in the vineyards.
Grahm's "Big House White," when he owned it, was named because the winery was located near Soledad, Calif., home of the "Big House" — Soledad State Correctional Facility. He called its winemaker "The Warden."
"Mollydooker" winery in Australia, which makes a fabulous shiraz, comes from the local term for "southpaw," since both owners are left-handed.
"Champ de Reves," a California winery that makes pinot noir, is named for a vineyard on a high mountain plateau that's so pretty they call it "Field of Dreams."
"Frenzy" winery, which makes sauvignon blanc in New Zealand, honors the "uncontrollable forces of nature that must fall into place to make great wine."
Hope Family Vineyards winemaker Austin Hope says he calls his Rhone-style red blend "The Troublemaker" because he used to misbehave purposely to bait his father into punishing him by keeping him out of school and in the vineyard – which he loved.
Other wines are named for more concrete objects. Rodney Strong Vineyards' "Charlotte's Home" sauvignon blanc is from a vineyard named in honor of his wife. His "Chalk Hill" Chardonnay comes from a vineyard on a hill with chalky soil.
"Gnarly Head" Cellars in California refers to the gnarly heads of 50-year-old zinfandel vines that make its best wine.
The Argentine winery Dona Paula makes a "Los Cardos" malbec named in Spanish for the pretty thistles that surround the vineyard.
"Mossback" winery in California was a local term for the workers who used to toil in the vineyards from sunup to sunset.
"Periquita" winery in Portugal translates as "parakeet" after local birds.
"Tower 15" winery near Paso Robles is named for a lifeguard tower in Pacific Palisades, Calif. It makes a red blend called "The Swell."
Don't misunderstand "Hooker" syrah; it's merely the name of a player position in rugby, a favorite sport of owners of Lawer Family Wines in Calistoga, Calif.
Still other wineries are named for their owners. Robert Mondavi and Ernest & Julio Gallo, for example. Arrowood Winery is named for founder Richard Arrowood.
Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in California is named for the Italian immigrant family that also invented the Jacuzzi spa as therapy for a young son's arthritis.
What it all shows is that, despite the hours of toil and sweat, it must be wonderful fun to run a winery.
Highly recommended:
• 2010 Hooker "Home Pitch" Syrah, Knights Valley, Sonoma County: inky hue, hint of oak, aromas and flavors of cassis and black cherries, full and rich; $46.
• 2008 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County (82 percent cabernet sauvignon, 13 percent merlot, 2 percent cabernet franc, 2 percent petit verdot, 1 percent malbec): hint of oak, aromas and flavors of black raspberries and dark chocolate, big, ripe tannins, full body. $30.
• Multivintage (2010 and 2011) Troublemaker, Paso Robles (67 percent syrah, 22 percent Grenache, 8 percent Grenache, 3 percent petite sirah): dark and rich and mellow, with aromas and flavors of black cherries and black coffee; $20.
• 2011 Tower 15 "The Swell" Red wine, Paso Robles (cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot): hint of cedar aroma, flavors of black plums and bittersweet chocolate, powerful flavors; $21.
• 2011 Barrymore Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie IGT, Italy: light yellow color, crisp acids, flavors of peaches and lemons; $20.
• 2010 Jacuzzi Family Vineyards Primitivo, Lake County: aromas and flavors of black cherries and black coffee, tart finish; $16.

Ohio's Spring Jersey Sweeps Youth Showmanship Contest
Ohio's Spring Jersey Sweeps Youth Showmanship Contest
Mason Mazzaro of Williamsfield, Ohio, rose above 138 competitors to become champion junior showman for the second time during the 15th Youth Showmanship Contest at the 2012 All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg.
A record 439 juniors vied for top showman honors in this year's show for youth ages eight to 21.
Mazzaro showed Kayla, a spring Jersey calf, in the show, where youth first competed in nine heats, then a semifinal round and the final class. The top ten were chosen and others received honorable mentions. All participants received a coupon for a free milkshake, courtesy of the Pennsylvania Dairymen's Association.
"Work with your cattle often, talk to them in the ring and stay calm," is Mazzaro's advice to the other showmen. Mazzaro, who also topped the junior division last year, is the ten-year-old son of Tom and Charity Mazzaro.
Carrie Sears of South Deerfield, Mass., evaluated the junior division.
Remaining winners in the junior division were:
2nd – Trinity Miller, 10, Westminster, Md.
3rd – Bradley Richman, 10, Mannington, N.J.
4th – Anna Klink, 9, Linesville, Crawford Co.
5th – Dayton Pitzer, 9, New Alexandria, Westmoreland Co.

8th – Mikayla Davis, 11, Leesport, Berks Co.
9th – Tucker True, 11, Perry, N.Y.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Early voting for the presidential election as well as a host of local, state and national congressional races started with a bang today with 862 ballots cast at the New Smyrna Beach Library, according to the Volusia County Elections Office.
Overall, 4,241 voters took advantage of early voting on the first day. Early voting runs through Nov. 1, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
New Smyrna Beach ranked third among four Volusia library locations where voters cast their votes. New Smyrna Beach had 862 voters.
The countdown is on for Monday's 8:56 a.m. EDT liftoff of the space shuttle Endeavor. In one of the most expensive, but rewarding undertakings our government has ever directed, the space shuttle program is first class as it winds down to its final missions.
After Endeavor, space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to lift off for the final time on June 28.
Of all the shuttle launches, though the two that stand out are the tragic ones. Challenger blew up just 73 seconds after launch, killing all seven astronauts on board, and on Feb. 3, 2003, Columbia disintegrated during re-entry, killing its crew of seven.

Crapzilla is an exclamation (also called an interjection) that expresses strong emotion; when plans, intentions, things, life go epically wrong. This exclamation stands on it's own, and in writing it is followed by an exclamation mark. Crapzilla is to be used when a simple "crap" does not sufficiently capture the over the top, grand, larger than expected, as large as Godzilla fail that you are faced with.
"Crapzilla! Someone just wrecked into my brand new car I just bought with my life savings!"

a young male, normally quite funny, sarcastic, and has the best suppy of "sick" (sex related) jokes. Boys are simple just guys who are normally really cool to hang out with, this is of course before they change... some become a "man" (a word I hate, not what it means, the spelling) which is a boy who cares and is still fun. Others become a "pimp" or a boy who thinks that he is cool because he has lots of girls and lots of other who want him (pimps usually haven't been laid and love to talk about it like they get it every night). Also others become "jerks" who use girls/woman and have no regard to there feelings, often found saying "what did I do?!". Still others stay boys as the mature and I think these are the best type because they are not quite a serious as a "man", are not as cocky as a "pimp", and not nearly as mean as a "jerk". Thses kinds of boys are very hard to come by, luckly I have one friend just like that. Not my boyfriend, but one of my best friends Fruit Loops. Thanks for staying a boy....
1. That boy is way too caring, he must be a man.
2. That boy thinks he's pimpin' but he's never been laid.
3. That boys so mean, what a jerk he turned into!
4. That boy's just a boy and that's cool....

Claysburg-Kimmel has gone 42 years since its last winning season in boys basketball, but there are hopes better times are not far off for the Bulldogs. The latest positive sign was a four-point loss to perennially strong Juniata Valley on Friday.
The Mirror's Philip Cmor recently caught up with C-K coach Josh Klausman.
Mirror: With Claysburg's history, why did you decide to take this job?
Klausman: It's a challenge. To be honest, before I took the job, I didn't know anybody out here. Since I've been here, I fell in love with the school. There's a great group of kids. Sometimes you want to beat your head against the wall, when you've come up through the Keith program, the Altoona program, even coaching at Tyrone. Everywhere I've been, we've had success. Winning's in my blood. It was really an eye-opener out here, but it's getting better.
Mirror: Why do you believe you are on the edge of turning things around?
Klausman: One of the big things is, when I started here, we had a lot of kids out for high school basketball, and we were trying to teach stuff they would normally learn in third or fourth grade along the lines of the fundamentals, the overall knowledge of the game, basketball IQ. It's trickling down now through our junior high system. We have 33 kids right now in our junior high basketball program. It's trickling down even into the elementary program. Kids are being shown things a little earlier, not just playing games, but learning the fundamentals. A lot of the credit for that goes to Jim Clancy, who I grew up with. With the junior high program, he's done an awesome job with those kids. Now stuff they'd be learning in 11th grade, they're learning in sixth or seventh.
Mirror: There's a very short list of Class A schools that can claim to have successful basketball and wrestling programs going at the same time. How are you trying to buck that trend?
Klausman: We always say we never want to compete with other programs in our school. But there's a limited number of kids in our school. We graduate 60, 70 kids. Obviously, we don't want to see anything happen to our wrestling program, or any other program. But there's only so many spots in any sport. If you're a basketball powerhouse, you only have five or six kids that play. You want to have more opportunities for more kids. That's what we're getting at with numbers. We're exposing them to the game, just letting them see what it's all about. If it's something you might like, great. If not, at least you tried. I'd rather have 10 or 11 kids that are wholeheartedly in this than 60 or 70 bodies.
Mirror: Were you the athletic director when Jeff Appleman was hired as girls coach?
Klausman: It was shortly before I took over.
Mirror: Does it help to have someone with his record and background working in your athletic program now?
Klausman: Absolutely. About two weeks ago he picked up victory No. 500. It is good. His son actually played for my brother and my father at Hollidaysburg, so I've known Jeff for years. It's nice to have a guy that's been around the game 26 or 28 years when you're struggling with something. The more eyes you have looking at something, the more it can help. It's nice to have someone like that in your back pocket. Lois [Jeff's wife] is always good to bounce ideas off, as well.
Mirror: Your father [Jim] is an official/umpire and coach. Your older brother [Jarrod] coaches now and was a pretty successful athlete. What was it like growing up in that environment as far as athletics?
Klausman: I could not imagine anything different. Having a brother two years older than me and a brother two years younger than me, when we were in fourth, fifth, sixth grade, my father was also a junior high basketball coach, I kind of felt bad for my mom, because there were probably 10 or 12 basketball schedules to learn in the winter time, and it wasn't organized. There were two, three, four games a night, every night. And not just basketball, but baseball and everything. We were always running from one game to another, and, if we weren't playing, we were going to watch my dad's games. My brothers and I were the definition of gym rats growing up, 3 or 4 years old. My father was Paul Hasson's assistant at Tyrone, so, when we were really young, we'd go with the Hasson boys on all the bus trips. We learned from very young the worth of athletics.

DAVID BERGELAND/Durango Herald
The �60s are back.
That fascinating decade, which we somehow survived, will bob up every summer weekend at the Durango Arts Center.
�Beehive: The �60s Musical,� created by the late Larry Gallagher, will open tonight and run weekends through Sept. 1.
At last Saturday�s dress rehearsal, 90 minutes of music rolled out as energetically as the Animas River in June (most Junes, anyway). Tunes such as �One Fine Day,� �You Don�t Own Me� and �Downtown� spanned the decade like a bridge over troubled waters. For historical accuracy, the Beatles get a snapshot mention, but �Beehive� belongs to the girl groups and women soloists such as Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin and Lesley Gore.
The musical is mostly a revue with just enough story line to link everything together. Like an American Ariadne, narrator Jeannie Wheeldon weaves the thread of a fictional childhood through the �60s labyrinth. She�s accompanied by Erika Beardsley, Jessica Jane Hagemeister, Dannie Lyn Parker, Rachel Saul Pollack and Tracy Lyn Thomas.
In Act I, the ensemble re-creates girl groups in varying combinations. The Chiffons, Shangri-Las, Shirelles and the very early Supremes come to life in splendid costumes and sharp singing. With a reality check from black-and-white film footage, the picture is complete.
Shortly before intermission, the musical also addresses the dark side of the �60s: the civil-rights movement, race riots and the political assassinations that rocked the country. To the music of �The Beat Goes On,� Wheeldon and company front short clips of marches and the JFK motorcade. To address troubled times, creator Gallagher chose the perfect music.
Petula Clark�s �Downtown� shifts the mood to the recovering go-go spirit of urban music, mod outfits and white boots. A terrific trio concludes Act I with �You Don�t Have to Say You Love Me.�
Act II focuses more on soloists with Pollack and Thomas in particular belting out Franklin�s �Respect� and �A Natural Woman� as a trade-off duo. No one deliberately imitates an individual singer�s style, but the essence is in the air. The second act also acknowledges the social consciousness of the �60s, most notably in Hagemeister�s marvelous rendition of Janis Ian�s �Society�s Child.�
A Woodstock medley wraps up Act II, featuring Beardsley singing Joplin tunes. All cast members return for a well-orchestrated finale wearing earlier costumes and tossing out fragments of earlier tunes. �Make Your Own Kind of Music� briefly reprises the whole show while musically sending the �60s message to do-your-own-thing.
Music Director/pianist Ivy Walker and the stage band are unamplified, but the singers all have new head mics. If adjusted correctly, the sound is just right for the intimate Panelli Theater. Some voices are bigger and brighter than others, so it�s a challenge for Weylin Ryan and Lightning Communications.
Thanks to Theresa Carson�s direction, the show runs a tight 90 minutes. Choreographer Denise Hagemeister has created a movement vocabulary to fit every soloist and ensemble. Costumer Diane Welle surprises with a wig universe that must be seen to be believed, not to mention a stunning array of tie-dye, caftans, mini skirts and silver lam� gowns that even Diana Ross would covet.
At dress rehearsal the transitions were still a bit rough, which is something easy to smooth out by opening night. The cast and band were certainly ready for tonight�s official curtain. May everyone involved sustain high energy all summer.

How to choose Linux desktop environment
What's the best Linux desktop environment for me?
When you install a Linux distribution, a set of programs comes along with it. It's easy to add and delete elements of the programs that don't fit with your needs, but what about altering the look and feel of the distribution to suit you? The key is to add a second desktop environment or window manager.
This is an example of how Linux is all about freedom of the user, by the user.
The ability to change and alter the desktop environment is just as important as being able to change and alter the underlying technical components. A few years ago Linus Torvalds complained about the GNOME 3 desktop and reportedly switched to a different one. The Unity environment for Ubuntu caused a similar reaction by users. On the other side of the proprietary divide, Microsoft Windows 8 created turmoil among users with their tiled new look. Users wanted their Start menu back and to be able to get things done as they had before.
Running Linux, changing or adding a different desktop environment is as easy as installing any other program. Just install the software, log out, and log in back again on the new environment. Keep in mind that most desktop environments come bundled with specific text editors and terminal programs—you can decide what you to keep and what to dump. And, choosing a different window manager just changes the way you interact with your Linux box, it doesn't cause you to lose new programs.
Which desktop environment is the best?
First, look at the hardware of your computer. The desktop environment can be beautiful but eat up a lot of your resources. My top four recommendations based on a balance of beauty and resources are:
- Cinnamon
- Unity
On less powerful systems, a 10-year-old desktop or netbook for example, a more straightforward desktop environment that will do a good job without pushing the cooling fan all the time is a better fit, like: MATE, XFCE, LXDE, OpenBox, or Enlightenment.
Most Linux distributions offer a default desktop environment that fits best with its overall concept. I see it an orchestra of instruments all playing nicely together. Heavy environments also provide very complete software by default. Desktops like XFCE and LXDE come with lighter programs, but still will not let you down on productivity. Of course, you can add complete suites like LibreOffice to a light desktop; that way you have a fast starting computer and file manager, but also real power for writing, calculating, and creating presentations.
Why Linux?
Desktop environments for Linux also helps reduce costs and environmental footprints for individuals, small groups, and large businesses, because you can use the hardware you already own instead of buying new and still update to the latest and greatest. The German city of Munich recently switched to Linux an officially promotes its use to reduce e-waste in the community. Also, support for Linux distros is typically good with regular updates for at least a year or two, while others keep up support for longer periods, like the LTS versions.
If changing to a new operating system sounds daunting, simply create a backup of your files before switching. Additionally, all of the well-established Linux distributions come with excellent instructions that guide you through the installation.
Tips for installing
There are over 300 Linux distros to choose from, just take a look at most popular ones! If you are unfamiliar with Linux, one of the top 10 distros is a good starting point, although Mint and Ubuntu will be a lot easier for a novice user than Arch. Mint also includes the necessary software to run videos and music. With Fedora this is more difficult because this distro only includes non-proprietary drivers. After a while you'll get used to Linux and you could try something different, like installing a different desktop environment or another distro. But, first stick to the basics as provided until you know more and feel comfortable using the system.
You can try Linux using a LiveCD of the distro of your choice. Download the .iso file and install it on a 4GB USB flash drive. UNetbootin is a program that allows you to create bootable live USB drives without burning a CD, and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Just try the Live version for a while before you install it on your computer. If it is not to your liking, just make a bootable Live USB with another distro. If you already use a virtual machine, you can try it from there.
Finally, Linuxers are friendly people and are able to offer help when you get stuck. The DistroWatch pages offer links to the distro specific user forums. Remember, you are not the first one trying, so a lot of questions and answers are already given.

I thought this was going to be a run-down on differences between Desktop Environments.
Having the choice of Desktop Environments is a great asset to Linux because it also does not limit you on applications you run either. If there is a Gnome application you like, you can use it in KDE (though KDE probably has a great similar application that will do it and look like it fits in).
And the wonderful thing is that in many cases the distribution provides multiple desktops to choose from. Either it comes included in an installation DVD (Fedora, openSUSE, etc.) or different distributions with the same undercarriage (Ubuntu/Unity, Kubuntu/KDE, Xubntu/Xfce, Lubuntu/LXDE and Ubuntu Gnome/Gnome).
This mix-and-match capabilities give anybody a dizzying array of conbinations even before you add that each desktop environments enjoys a variety of customization options that just isn't available in the proprietary options (KDE Plastma Netbook, Xfce could run 100% with no panels or buttons on the desktop, etc.)
The best:Enlightenment.Almost the best:XFCE.The ugly:Unity.
If you are a new user coming from Windows, and have never used anything other than Windows, go with KDE. It's the most familiar. If you are open to new ideas, Gnome 3 is very snazzy. I can't agree with the rest. Unity is ugly and deplete of features it really should have. Cinnamon is a great desktop, but it's more for people who came from a Gnome 2 background and don't like Gnome 3.
Not new user from windows, i migrated more than 6 years on Linux.I used kde a short time but did not find him something to attract me.Cinnamon is ok but does not attract a lot, Gnome 3 i hate almost as much Unity (2 years spent with him...), Gnome 2 is a mummy :), Mate is likely to be alternative to Gnome 2 (i now is a fork), LXDE...no comment becasue i don't used.Do not want to insist on my point of view but Enlightenment for me is, beauty and fast what i like.Currently used Manjaro XFCE and are quite pleased with this GUI.
Even though KDE greatly resembles, some of the advanced settings / preferences could baffle new users at times. Although, must admit I switched from Windows a few months ago and am fine with it mostly. My essential needs are browsing (firefox / chrome), music(banshee / rhytmbox) , movies (vlc) and rudimentary docs / spreadsheet work (libreoffice) and all of which are handled well.
KDE has software applications for all possible sort of things and a very good collection of widgets. My first Linux desktop was KDE and I liked it but switched to Cinnamon 2 recently and find it modern and elegant.
Linux Mint is a good distro for beginners and i feel both all of them KDE, MATE and Cinnamon are good choices. If your system hardware is bit old, MATE is a better option. I personally prefer Cinnamon though. It is modern, intuitive, elegant and more importantly has a vibrant developer / user community that truly listens and shares. Clem and team are making it trivial to add desklets, applets, change themes. The spices site that hosts all elements like themes, applets,etc is fast evolving and have got some nice additions in the past. With Cinnamon 2.0, there are some new features like window snapping and tiling which come very handy in using big monitors. Nemo, Cinnamon's file manager is also proving to be a very nifty application and supports some nice features like extensions.
For those of you who have not given it a try, Try Mint 16 Petra and you wont regret it. Best is to use a Live USB or DVD, try it out for couple of days before installation.
I am NOT a developer, a pure desktop user and have got accustomed in Linux desktop in few weeks.
Note - I am NOT a developer, a pure desktop user and have got accustomed in Linux desktop in few weeks.
I used to hate Unity, but since having Ubuntu as the default Linux, I've gotten used to it and maybe even come to like it. I was a Linux Mint advocate for years but I found newer implementations of MATE a bit too unstable. I have to give Unity one thing; for me it has been a rock solid desktop platform.
I really recommend Cinnamon for new users. It's the closest experience to Windows 7 I've ever had in Linux. Even pressing the windows/start key on the keyboard opens the menu, which it doesn't do in KDE.
It's also very fast and pretty, and surprisingly light on resources. I found it very intuitive to learn and use, especially compared to some modern implementations of KDE.
Linux Mint with Cinnamon is my personal Linux distro/desktop and I recommend it heartily to new Linux users. Mint is #1 on DistroWatch for a reason, and Cinnamon is the #1 desktop environment for Linux Mint for a reason as well.
I prefer Linux Mint 13 with MATE -desktop because it's easy to install, easy to use, easy to learn and teach to others, amazingly stable and very nice to use. Besides you can customize MATE-desktop much, much more than that of Cinnamon.
I personally do not use a desktop environment; I find them too heavy handed in what they do and they seemingly impede my productivity on my machines.
I use a very lightweight minimalistic window manager that I wrote, which is based on TinyWM. It is approximately 30 lines of C and does everything that I need it to:
- raise a terminal emulator
- handle mouse input
- handle keyboard input
From a terminal, I can do anything that I need to on my machine. This style isn't for everyone, but I have found that it works great for me.
You missed the new kid on the block: ElementaryOS.org.
Very stable. Eye-pleasing design that actually just works.
I've been enjoying elementary for about a year now...good stuff.
I do still find myself left-clicking on the background, from my years of fluxbox.
long live fluxbox :)
And the comments show that there are choices out there.
The longer I use linux, and the more people I come across that are around the edge of the linux pool about to dip a toe in, the more I realise that the choices, and having to make decisions are actually the problem for the potential new user.
I am reluctant to suggest a distribution that "Skins" itself the same way as Windows, because that misses the point of Linux.
I'm probably KDE, but happy to use most. Least happy with unity. Most productive in OSX.
(First dipped my toe in Linux Slackware in 1995)
This article has been published in the business section, but I personally do not recognize that the article was written within the context of an organization. Logically, the comments are based on personal experience, rather than experiences of organizations that implemented Linux withing the organization. During my working experience as a business consultant for enterprises, a choice for a system is based on the stated business goals, then the technical aspects of the system to fit within an existing infrastructure, support, services, and continuity of the supplier. The choice of a desktop environment bears little relevance withing the context of an organization.
Funny thing I found when I introduced Linux to the family, with Gnome (and now Unity) looking so different from Windows, the family members have no problem going between Linux (home) and Windows (school).
I think a factor of that is that the desktop environments are so very different that you don't expect the desktop environment to act at all like the other.
When you sit down in front of a (non-modified-KDE), you are immediately of the mind set of doing things the desktop-environment way, or will have to figure out who the desktop environment accomplishes the task.
This is instead of clicking and going through the menus, expecting a setting, a program or some feature to work one way (the other desktop environment's way) and finding it doesn't work as expected. This leads to frustration and frustration leads to abandonment.
Now the kids are used to non-Windows desktop environments, they are better about not expecting any Linux environment to act like Windows.
My wife, however, takes a little longer, but she's a trooper and goes with the flow.
For developers we have found an uncluttered desktop is best. Our choice is XFCE4.
We don't like all the stuff on many of these that claim real estate.
I have tried many of them, and definitely XFCE is the only one for me. It's just like any other one, but more resource friendly, more stable and less cluttered. In 2 years of intensive use it has never crashed on me (I bet not everyone can say the same).
On the other side, I really dislike KDE, Unity and Gnome 3, because they are everything XFCE is not: efficient, stable, subtle.
But, hey, it's my opinion :)
I work with kubuntu and it's OK. Previously, I had KDE on Univention. It was also OK.
Minor detail: Openbox is a window manager, which differs slightly than a desktop environment.
I believe desktops don't affect people moving to Linux. People affect people. If someone does not want to use Linux, they will not be happy regardless of what desktop you give them and how you skin it.
Choosing the best desktop is, as this article did not mention, a matter of trying them. Try one, stick with it and learn it, then try and learn another, and then another. It's a long process, because you can't learn to hate something overnight. I started with Gnome because it looked prettier, but eventually migrated to KDE and have stuck with it ever since. Take your time to find one you really like.
Hello, everything here is just a matter of like / no like... so I just add my rock and say I prefer now Xfce on HandyLinux.org. What confuse me is that all desktop have their + and - and they're so different one from another that is hard to compare.
I love Gnome 3 , best ever DE , KDE is like Windows 7 , boring and outdated, Gnome 3 has nice interface but still buggy , hope they fix all issues .
Gnome 3.16 is what I use, I have tried all DE's but I like Gnome as it is modern , beautiful, easiest to get work done and fast too.
I am using Linux since redhat 7 and never liked any desktop then gnome2 was stable but boring as it had same interface as windows , KDE was buggy , crashy and ugly , finally arrived Gnome 3 as what a pleasant surprise it was , what a beautiful design, I dont understand why people were critical about it, it is the most beautiful DE i have seen and used, work is done faster and easier on Gnome 3 than any other env.
I use Linux as my primary OS, My distro is Arch 64bit, Gnome 3.16 is my DE, everything works fine in Gnome and i love the black theme hope they keep it that way.
I have installed Linux in my school in Bangladesh and preferred Gnome 3.14 as it is stable compared to others and students love the interface , simple to use .
i like to use lxde with animations disabled, feels really snappy and doesnt eat up memory for the sake of looks. its also quite customizable if you think outside the box and can be tweaked to look like other desktops such as unity, mate and xfce

You've probably been in this situation before: You see a movie on Netflix with an awesome name, like Santa Claus Battles the Demon Unicorns. Your friend convinces you that you should watch this movie together, because it's going to be "so bad it's good." You sit down, put it on, and awkwardly pretend to have fun watching a character actor, who's obviously battling alcoholism in real life, mumble his way through some bad dialogue. Thirty minutes in, you snap and bludgeon your friend to death with the popcorn bowl. Throughout the murder trial you ponder whether the phrase "so bad it's good" has any meaning at all anymore.
Part of this confusion comes from the phrase itself: "So bad it's good" implies that once a movie dips below a certain level of quality, it somehow automatically shifts into the "good" category. If this were the case, channels like SyFy and Lifetime would be the most celebrated forms of entertainment in America. But they're not, and that's because, to achieve true good-badness, movies must follow a surprisingly complex series of rules. For example ...
#5. They're Not the Same as "Intentionally Bad"
The "so bad it's good" label is often thrown around to describe the cheap, low-quality movies that flood today's Netflix accounts and Redbox machines. These kinds of films, sometimes called B-movies (because they traditionally formed the less-worthy half of a cinematic double billing), were popularized in the 1950s by a production company called America International Pictures. AIP had a unique way of making movies: First, they'd come up with a title that sounded awesome, like I Was a Teenage Werewolf or Terror from the Year 5000. Then they'd commission a poster to match it. Finally, once the truly important stuff was out of the way, they'd hurriedly fart out the actual film.
Via Cool Ass Cinema
Sometimes the title wouldn't even match the movie anymore, and then
the people in the movie comment section got really angry.
This title-comes-first, budget-and-quality-come-last method was so successful that it's still being used today by production companies like the Asylum, the guys responsible for such recent titles as Nazis at the Center of the Earth and 2-Headed Shark Attack. The Asylum gets a great deal of business from people seeing these awesome titles and saying, "Zombies vs. Squirrel Ninjas? Whoa, that must be so bad it's good."
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"The wise win before the fight, but the ignorant fight to win. Remember this, young Puffcheeks McNuttikins."
These viewers inevitably wind up disappointed, though, because Asylum-style B-movies almost never follow the crucial rules of good-bad movies. Like ...
#4. They Should Succeed on Some Level
In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy wrote: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Of course, he was talking about life in 19th century Russia, when they presumably had a greater variety of fatal STDs to keep things interesting than we do now. But the idea still endures that good things are generally monotonous and dull, whereas bad things are terrible in unique, interesting ways. So if a movie looks awful or ridiculous, it must have something inherently interesting about it. This is complete bullshit.
Via Wikipedia
You're such a douche, Tolstoy.
What makes Jurassic Park enjoyable isn't the same thing that made No Country for Old Men a success. The Avengers and The Seventh Seal are not good for the same reasons. But bad movies? Almost always, bad movies are bad in the same way. The acting sucks. The monsters are stupid looking. The ghost shark is just phoning in his lines. It's duller than watching a plant die. And yet these dull B-movies keep making money, because every time we come across a new one (Amish Vampires vs. a Yeti! A Giant Tsunami of Velociraptors!), we convince ourselves that this one will be different.
What we're forgetting is that for a movie to be enjoyably bad, it must also be a success. Remember "Friday" by Rebecca Black? It was a terrible song, yes, but it was also a successful song, because it did what a pop song is meant to do: It got into your head and wouldn't leave.
Via Billboard
And now it's there again. Sorry.
Similarly, a good-bad movie should succeed at its job: It should entertain us for 90 minutes. And this achievement is so rare that it's almost impossible. For every Troll 2 or The Wicker Man, there's a thousand bad movies that sank like dead two-headed sharks because they were terrible and boring.
How do some bad movies manage to avoid this and achieve greatness, then?
#3. They Should Keep Surprising Us With Their Awfulness
Most straight-to-DVD movies and pieces of Netflix detritus fail because the badness of the average bad movie is static. For example, SyFy movies produced by the Asylum usually involve a giant monster of some sort, usually based on a shark:
That's pretty entertaining ... but it's like one minute of the movie, and the film as a whole doesn't really offer much else. No joke is funny if you keep repeating it for 90 minutes. To reach "so bad it's good" territory, a movie needs to continually escalate its badness. For example, let's take Birdemic, widely celebrated as one of the greatest "so bad it's good" movies of all time. The badness of this movie is like the subject of a long Internet argument: Just when you think you've grasped it, it morphs into something else.
Flying Colours Ltd/Photodisc/Getty
"Your nitpicking of my grammar in paragraph four of this counterdiscussion
is a straw man argument. It's laughably obvious that ..."
Birdemic starts with some terrible acting: Sure, that's amusing for about five minutes. But then comes the scene where the protagonist invents a solar panel that would single-handedly solve the world's energy problems, and everyone around him reacts like this is no big deal. Soon afterward, mutant birds appear that are made from those animated gifs they had on websites back in 1995, and then the birds start exploding and making cute little dive bombing noises while they do it. And it just keeps going. Amazingly, Birdemic pulls off this badness roller coaster for its entire runtime.
Of course, the boundaries of this rule are blurry, because not everyone is entertained by the same thing. Some people think Batman & Robin and Die Hard 4.0 successfully climb the "so bad it's good" mountain; for others, they're just bad. I enjoyed the Twilight movies on this level; a lot of people enjoyed them about as much as sticky floor popcorn that a hobo's been sleeping on. But it's important to realize that good-bad movies are like those trips to the dentist where they offer you a bunch of different of flavors of fluoride gel that all taste like butt: They should be varied in their terribleness. Another important rule is ...

CLEMSON - Tony Villani knows there's really no limit on how hard he can push his pupils when they step into his gym.
Post and Courier college reporter Aaron Brenner will be reporting and tweeting live from the NFL Scouting Combine this week in Indianapolis. Follow him here on Twitter for all the latest news and notes.
"If these kids can't get motivated for two months," Villani said in a phone interview from south Florida, "then they need to go ahead and find a different life."
Villani never played a down of competitive football, but he helps those who do reach their dreams as a speed, agility and strength trainer.
An early stop on these draft hopefuls' journey to the pros is preparation for the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis beginning Thursday, where their physical prowess and interviewing acumen is tested just as much as football ability.
Since the day after the Orange Bowl, Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd, wide receiver Martavis Bryant and cornerback Bashaud Breeland sought to transform their bodies from college boys to professional men. They didn't even travel back home with the Tigers after the game, remaining in Delray Beach to immediately begin working with a fellow former Clemson product.
"He knows what you need to do and how you need to do it, to get the results you want to get." Breeland said. "I see improvement each and every week. I had a lot to work on. My body feels much better after workouts."
Originally from Myrtle Beach, Villani graduated from Clemson in 1996 with a degree in health sciences and earned a Masters from George Washington. He works with NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter, who makes his home in Boca Raton.
XPE Sports originally was based in Atlanta, primarily specializing in training draft hopefuls for the Combine. Once active NFL players sought out Villani for offseason training, he relocated to Delray Beach, Fla. - this particular year, the likes of Anquan Boldin, Eric Berry, Jacoby Ford and Andre Ellington have stopped by.
But players gearing up for the combine remained the priority, especially spanning the past half-decade as the annual February circus became more highly-publicized.
According to Villani, Boyd has lost "six or seven pounds" in his program. Also working with quarterbacks coach Ken Mastrole, Boyd plans on participating in all combine drills - "he'll do everything there. He's not trying to hide anything," Villani said.
Of course, it'll be Boyd's ability to toss the football which will most interest or turn off scouts.
"Physically, I think his throwing will stand out a lot more than people think," Villani said. He does have NFL receivers around here, and Cris Carter; they're all surprised when he started throwing how much zip he had on the ball. I don't think he's really known as a strong arm."
Boyd's final touchdown run, a 48-yarder in the Orange Bowl when he broke away from OSU defenders, has put the friendly pressure on Boyd to burst out a surpring 40-yard-dash. Villani chuckled when it was brought up.
"Definitely more shifty and a more polished runner than a sprinter," Villani said. "But he'll run a decent time."
While Boyd has shed weight, one of his favorite college targets had added it. Bryant has bulked up to 215 pounds, Villani said, a hefty 15 pounds above his college weight in order to sustain more contact long-term.
"We're changing him from a deer to a thoroughbred," Villani said. "He runs with long, floaty strides, and more powerful strides than before. We don't need him to be able to run down the (whole) field fast; we need him to explode through the 40-yard-dash."
How fast can the fleety Bryant run when he takes on the 40 Sunday?
"Indy speed is exposed, because most of these schools tell these kids they're always 4.2 and 4.3," Villani said. "But your fastest guys in Indy are normally running a 4.4 - and under. So we're trying to be part of that under group. He has a chance to do it."
As for Breeland, he's training alongside fellow defensive backs Darqueze Dennard of Michigan State, Marcus Roberson and Jaylen Watkins from Florida and Calvin Pryor from Louisville, trying to move into the elite draftable group of cornerbacks.
"He's gotten a lot better, he's put on some size," Villani said. "Good at positional drills, real, real smooth. Positional drills, he's probably one of the best we have here as far as our DBs."
Breeland was commonly known at Clemson for his durability, which Villani has noticed.
"When we start training hard, sometimes guys are dealing with stuff," Villani said. "He hasn't had one setback. Normally every guy is gonna have one small setback during combine training. Some guys, even two. He hasn't even had one."

In 2007 Sylvia Axelrod, NAMI New Jersey's Executive Director, was the recipient of the 2007 Welcome Back Award for Destigmatization.
Nominations for the 2008 Welcome Back Awards may be submitted by anyone. All nominations must be received by November 12, 2007, to be reviewed by an independent selection committee of mental health experts. Honorees will be announced in the spring of 2008.

ST. CHARLES, Mo — Discover a fascinating world of nature that wakes up after the sun goes down. The Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area in St. Charles is presenting a special program in the spirit of the Halloween season called "Creatures of the Night." It will take place Saturday, Oct. 12, starting at 6 p.m. The program is free and open for all ages.
"Creatures of the Night" will take visitors on a guided hike along the area's .7-mile paved Fallen Oak Trail to discover the denizens of the dark that can be found in Missouri's outdoors. Trail guides will lead the way through the woods along a candlelit path. The goal of the program is to examine the myths and uncover the facts about nocturnal creatures.
"We all harbor a tiny fear of the dark and it's an exciting thing for kids to experience the woods at night in this safe environment," said May Cunningham, MDC volunteer and organizer of the program.
The program encourages visitors to put to use all their senses to discover more about the natural world around them.
"Participants will have a heightened sense of smell and hearing," explained Cunningham. "Like the creatures they will meet, they will be using their other senses to learn about nocturnal animals."
The hikes will last approximately one hour and will be departing at 6, 6:30, 7, 7:30 and 8 p.m. Advanced registration is required by calling 636-441-4554. Participants are encouraged to come dressed for the weather.
The August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area is located at 2360 Highway D, approximately two miles west of Highway 94.

West Gallery History
Mr. Frick's collection had grown so large that it required a grand viewing space. In place of a ballroom, a Picture Gallery was created and occupied the most commanding location in the house. The gallery's design recalls those of English country houses and the royal salons of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In the remodeling of the original house in the 1930s, the appearance of the renamed West Gallery was altered by the addition of the large arched portals at either end.

Except for the modern sofas, some of the furniture in this room, which was purchased between 1915 and 1918, dates in part from the Italian Renaissance, predominantly from the 16th century. The eight elaborately carved walnut cassoni served as storage chests. The large center table bears the arms of the Giovanelli family of Milan and Venice. The eight folding armchairs, of a type called Savonarola chairs, recall a form of backless seating produced in antiquity.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
The editors of the Stanford University Press Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche have asked Dr. George H. Leiner, associate professor of philosophy and liberal arts in the department of philosophy of the Saint Vincent College School of Humanities and Fine Arts, to aid them in the completion of this project. Dr. Leiner will be translating volume 12 of the Kritische Studienausgabe (Critical Study Edition) of Nietzsche's work. This offer was extended by Professor Alan D. Schrift, department of philosophy, Grinnell College, general editor, and Ms. Emily-Jane Cohen, acquisitions editor, humanities, Stanford University Press. Dr. Leiner's work is to appear as volume 17, "Unpublished Fragments," of the Stanford Edition. The genesis of this work traces itself back to the early 1960s when Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, two distinguished Italian Nietzsche Scholars, determined that a new, definitive German edition of Nietzsche's work was required. Working in collaboration with the Nietzsche Archives located at the Goethe-Schiller Archiv in Weimar, they began to prepare what became the Nietzsche Werke: Kritische Gesamtausgabe (Nietzsche's Works: Critical Complete Edition). Volumes of this edition made their appearance in 1967, and have continued to this day, with the total number of volumes expected to be near 50. In order to make a more economically accessible edition available to individual scholars, the 15 volume Kritische Studienausgabe (Critical Study Edition) appeared in 1980. It is on the basis of this edition that the Stanford The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche will be based. This project was initiated under the leadership of Professors Ernst Behler and Bernd Magnus, and is now under the editorial direction of Alan D. Schrift and Duncan Large. When completed, the Stanford edition will publish in its entirety, for the first time, an English translation of the full contents of the Kritische Studienausgabe.

Cute Luxury Small Dog Beds For Your Pet
There are many different types of small dog beds, find them all here!
Small dog beds for puppies are usually quite easy to get hold of. Pet stores all over the country have them on offer, but ask yourself this – is it really worth purchasing a dog bed from a pet store that is of low quality, and will hence need to be replaced in possibly just weeks?
