Social Media and User-Generated Video - The Power of Trust
We wanted to share Part 2 of our interview with Nate Elliott, the Principal Analyst at Forrester Research (see Part 1 The Groundswell -here). The interview was conducted during the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose in mid-August, where Elliott was a keynote speaker.
In this segment, Nate talks about the importance of social media as it pertains to video, the benefits of tapping into user-generated content, and the great opportunity in online video advertising that is presented by the current economy:
I think his best point is about how social media's real power lies in the inherent trust users have with one another—or rather, the lack of trust users have in major brands. Certainly the public is willing to embrace online video content even when it's directly from the brand, as Nate points out. However, the average user is far more likely to take a leap on watching a new video if it's recommended by a friend rather than being suggested by the brand itself. And social media makes such friend-to-friend recommendations as simple as a click of the mouse.
I'm far more likely to watch something my brother sends me via Facebook than I am if it's being marketed to me by the company itself. This is not unlike movie reviews. Most film fans will read a review or two in their local paper or at RottenTomatoes.com, but we place far more emphasis on the feedback received from coworkers, friends, and real people we know and see in our daily lives. Social media harnesses that trust in a way traditional PR cannot. The fact that social media also allows the brand to achieve a wide audience without having to plan, implement, or fund traditional distribution is a pretty nice chunk of icing on the cake as well.
Nate goes on to talk about how brands are finding new ways to leverage user-generated content. In addition to cutting costs on developing and filming a spot, brands that put user-generated video to work for them are also adding a second layer of that inherent trust to their message. If I'm more likely to trust a friend than a brand on which videos to watch, I'm even more willing to watch a piece of content that was created without any involvement from that brand whatsoever.
It's not dissimilar from my views on Twitter. I've long said that Twitter's real power for brands is not in using the service itself to send messages, but in harnessing the messages about your brand that are sent by everyday users. Video is in the same category. Sure, a brand can create a clever piece of video and promote it themselves on YouTube—as thousands have done already. But the real power of online video for major brands is in harnessing what the masses are saying about them and leveraging that praise (or criticism) for maximum reach.
Finally, Nate talks about the economic recession, and the creativity it affords the more experimental brands. Because video ads are still such a young concept, there's great opportunity for brands to try something new—especially considering how cheap the economy has made such experimentation. And the upside could be huge. It's risk/reward, only with virtually zero risk. There may never be a better time for brands to jump into the online video advertising game.
We're grateful to Nate Elliiott for taking the time to talk to us, and we hope you enjoyed what he had to say.

Different degrees of effort in breathing result in different volumes of air being moved in or out of the lungs. The measurement of such air volumes is called spirometry, and these measurements reveal the presence of four distinct respiratory volumes. For example, the amount of air that enters the lungs during a normal, quiet inspiration is about 500 cubic centimeters (cc). Approximately the same amount leaves during a normal expiration. This volume is termed the tidal volume.
During forced inspiration, a quantity of air in addition to the tidal volume enters the lungs. This additonal volume is called the inspiratory reserve volume (complemental air), and it equals about 3,000 cc.
During forced expiration, about 1,100 cc of air in addition to the tidal volume can be expelled from the lungs. This quantity is called the expiratory reserve volume (supplemental air). Even after the most forceful expiration, however, about 1,200 cc of air remains in the lungs. This volume is called the residual volume.
Residual air remains in the lungs at all times, and consequently, newly inhaled air is always mixed with the air that is already in the lungs. This prevents the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the lungs from fluctuating excessively with each breath.
Once the respiratory volumes are known, four repiratory capacites can be calculated by combining two or more of the volumes. Thus, if the inspiratory reserve volume (3,000 cc) is combined with the tidal volume (500 cc) and the expiratory reserve volume (1,100 cc), the total is termed the vital capacity (4,600 cc). This capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath possible.
The tidal volume (500 cc) plus the inspiratory reserve volume (3,000 cc) gives the inspiratory capacity (3,500 cc), which is the maximum volume of air a person can inhale following the exhalation of the tital volume. Similarly, the expiratory reserve volume (1,100 cc) plus the residual volume (1,200 cc) equals the functional residual capacity (2,300 cc), which is the volume of air that remains in the lungs following the exhalation of the tital volume.
The vital capacity plus the residiual volume equals the total lung capacity (about 5,800 cc). This total varies with age, sex, and body size.
Some of the air that enters the respitory tract during breathing fails to reach the alveoli. This volume (about 150 milliliters) remains in the passageways of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Since gas exchanges do not occour through the walls of these passages, this air is said to occupy anatomic dead space.

Detailed graphics card specifications and reviews are great—that is, if you have the time to do the research. But at the end of the day, what a gamer needs is the best graphics card within a certain budget.
So, if you don't have the time to research the benchmarks, or if you don't feel confident enough in your ability to pick the right card, then fear not. We at Tom's Hardware have come to your aid with a simple list of the best gaming cards offered for the money.
February Updates:
There was one major graphics launch last month: Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti. In summary, this new card offers the performance of GeForce GTX 470 with the power signature (roughly) of a GeForce GTX 460. It's based on the new GF114 GPU, which is essentially a re-spun GF104 with all of its 384 CUDA cores enabled, plus 64 texture units and 32 ROPs.
In comparison, the GeForce GTX 460's GF104 graphics processor had one of its streaming multiprocessors disabled, resulting in cut-back 336 CUDA cores and 56 texture units. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti also sports relatively high 822/1644/1002 MHz core/shader/memory frequencies. The bottom line? At $250, this card offers a great price/performance ratio, just like the GeForce GTX 470, but with lower power usage. This card gets our recommendation out of the gate, and you can read more about it in: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Review: GF114 Rises, GF100 Rides Off. On a side note, Nvidia resurrected the premium Ti suffix with this card. We suspect this move was made with an eye to the future, so lesser models based on the same GPU might be designated with a different name (hopefully to avoid confusion, rather than to create more of it).
The same day that Nvidia announced its GeForce GTX 560 Ti, AMD launched a Radeon HD 6950 1 GB to counter it. In testing, we found the 1 GB card is every bit as fast as the pricier 2 GB version. It only gives up performance at quality levels that exceed the 1 GB frame buffer (Metro 2033 with 4xAA and High Quality settings, in our experience). Frankly, that's a more attractive value play than the 2 GB model. That is, unless you're interested in trying to soft-mod your 2 GB board into a Radeon HD 6970.
We've seen a lot of reported success modding AMD's Radeon HD 6950 2 GB to a full Radeon HD 6970 2 GB with a BIOS flash. Both of these cards are based on the exact same Cayman GPU, but the Radeon HD 6950 is crippled, with two of its 24 SIMD engines disabled. AMD can choose to purposely handicap its GPUs physically or via firmware. Apparently, the retail Radeon HD 6950s currently available are soft-moddable for the most part, and can be unlocked with a relatively simple BIOS flash.
The real beauty of this is that the 6900-series cards come with a BIOS-backup switch. So, if a flash fails, there's a way to resurrect the card. Keep in mind that there's always a chance of damaging your hardware or rendering it unstable with such an update. After all, there's no guarantee that the disabled SIMDs passed validation to begin with. On top of this, AMD could very well be scrambling to change the way it disables logic on the 2 GB Radeon HD 6950s, and unlocked cards might dry up at retail. There's certainly no guarantee that the card you buy will be easily modified.
Successful modification results in a card with the full 1536 shader processors and 96 texture units enabled, just like the Radeon HD 6970, although some modified BIOS files out there allow the card to run the 6950's lower 1250 MHz GDDR5 memory speed.
There have been relatively few price changes, and that's likely a result of the very crowded (and competitive) mid-range. There's simply not as much room for prices to shift with fast products in each pertinent segment and few obvious holes left. We have seen a few deals on Newegg that stand out, so we'll mention them: we found a Palit GeForce 9800 GT for $60, which is about $45 less than other models. And according to its specs, it's a fully-functional 112-shader card that will outperform a Radeon HD 5670. There's also a Diamond Radeon HD 5870 for $235, which is very impressive when you consider that this card is notably faster than the Radeon HD 6870 and about as fast as the Radeon HD 6950. The prices of these cards are an anomaly compared to the rest of the playing field, so we can't give them full recommendations in the list below. As individual values, they're uncontested, though.
Some Notes About Our Recommendations
A few simple guidelines to keep in mind when reading this list:
- This list is for gamers who want to get the most for their money. If you don't play games, then the cards on this list are more expensive than what you really need. We've added a reference page at the end of the column covering integrated graphics processors, which is likely more apropos.
- The criteria to get on this list are strictly price/performance. We acknowledge that recommendations for multiple video cards, such as two Radeon cards in CrossFire mode or two GeForce cards in SLI, typically require a motherboard that supports CrossFire or SLI and a chassis with more space to install multiple graphics cards. They also require a beefier power supply compared to what a single card needs, and will almost certainly produce more heat than a single card. Keep these factors in mind when making your purchasing decision. In most cases, if we have recommended a multiple-card solution, we try to recommend a single-card honorable mention at a comparable price point for those who find multi-card setups undesirable.
- Prices and availability change on a daily basis. We can't base our decisions on always-changing pricing information, but we can list some good cards that you probably won't regret buying at the price ranges we suggest, along with real-time prices from our PriceGrabber engine, for your reference.
- The list is based on some of the best U.S. prices from online retailers. In other countries or at retail stores, your mileage will most certainly vary.
- These are new card prices. No used or open-box cards are in the list; they might represent a good deal, but it's outside the scope of what we're trying to do.

3anacandor , February 10, 2011 5:04 AMI love this competition, if only AMD's CPU's could compete at the same high level...
Anyone else get the feeling that nVidia and AMD cut back on the performance of their cards simply to slot into a pricepoint?
4haplo602 , February 10, 2011 5:44 AMcan you include the e-350 iGPU 6310 in the charts since you do include the previous integrated GPUs ? I know it's slow but just to have the chart almost complete.
I am missing DX version support information on the cards, since raw performance does not help with lacking features.
1executor2 , February 10, 2011 6:27 AMI unlocked the HD 6950 and over clocked it to HD 6970 specs. Works great and stable in different games.

Better to be good at one thing than to be mediocre at both I guess.

would be most useful!
0Anonymous , February 10, 2011 10:24 AMkinda have to agree with mi1ez, the prices listed here for the radeon 6800 series cards is a little inflated. i've been shopping around on newegg and tigerdirect for about a month, price optimizing a new system, and the 6850s can be had as low as $160 and the 6870s as low as $200 with mail in rebates. AMD currently has nvidia beat on prices, imo

that's a point of view question :-)
I mean how much compute intensive tasks for an average user need a 6core i7 ? Even an Athlon II X4 is sufficient for 80% of people. So Intel taking the high end is just for show. Price is what sells today.
1RazberyBandit , February 10, 2011 11:56 AMI've seen 5870's regularly priced below the $250 mark over the last couple weeks. With rebates, these same cards drop to $200-$220. That, to me, represents the best value in the $175 to $275 bracket, hands down.

-1Onus , February 10, 2011 2:10 PMWith the dollar soon to crash, the build I'm planning for late Spring/early Summer may be my last personal build for the foreseeable future. I'm thinking a GTX560Ti is probably where I want to be; higher than I need right now, but should remain viable for years.

I agree with you. The big problem is that every single card you buy now has a dang rebate. So you can get some great deal if you are willing to take the chance with the rebate. Am I the only one who hates all these rebates?
0nottheking , February 10, 2011 3:30 PMmi1ezAnd don't even get me started on the fact they're all US...
No one's stopping you from going and putting together a complementary article for other (non-USA) markets. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised that if you put in the time and effort to consistently make a monthly update like Cleeve (Mr. Woligroski) here has, Tom's just might offer to post it up alongside these.
cmartin011yawwnnn... my 295 gtx still near the top of the chart now there is a surprise
Not really. The dual-GPU (especially nVidia's) cards tend to last a Looooong time. However, they tend to only hold up particularly well in older shader models, and without using AA; in those cases two GPUs from an older generation will easily thump nVidia's next big thing. The same went for the generation before, when I noted to people that for those who didn't use AA, a 9800GX2 curb-stomped the supposed "latest and greatest" GTX 280 at a lower price. (oh, and also actually even putting a damper on the 4870's parade, too)

Gl'amour - Acrylic/Mix Media
Muslim - Acrylic/Mix Media
This painting was inspired because of a TIME magazine cover I saw. I love the poster style and the colours. All of the newspaper articles that I used were about the Middle East and the issues over there. After this photo was taken, I added more newspaper headlines to it. I feel like this is a very strong piece based off the reaction I get from people when I show them.
The Girl With Roses- Acrylic
This painting was inspired by a magazine photoshoot I saw that a girl did to redo famous album covers. This one was one that I particularly liked. I chose to do a posterized effect again, but to also do it rough and not make it too detailed. The hardest part was the tights and trying to make them look somewhat transparent. This painting reminded me of watercolours and trying to leave the white spaces.
Mermaid- Acrylic
This painting was one that I don't usually do because I try to not make my work look to abstract. However, I did this one in the blues and greens to try and recreate the shadows of the girl. In this painting, the picture I found was of a girl trying to recreate the famous Nirvana album. I think that my use of greens over blue really recreated the shading of humans underwater.
Glamour - Acrylic
This painting was the first in the series of 4 that I did on the clear plastic sheets. I really want to take these paintings to an art museum and find backgrounds and put mine in front of famous paintings and take pictures. I love street art, but I am too afraid to do it, so this is a way I can not harm someone else's work while incorporating mine into the environment. I love the classic glamour of this girl and the highlights I did in her hair.
The Wave II - watercolor
i look out towards the world, looking at all the people floating by and hope that maybe mankind can be saved

Shiela Gaff vs Jennifer Maia at Fight Night 4, in Dubai.
Cheap whore.At least make it clear you won't touch gloves.That whore faked the touch and ounched her.
fair and square
wow, what a cheap bitch
She was knocked out in "double quick" time. Really? WTF is double quick?
Dirty biatch
Harsh, that bitch needs her nipples biting off.
So, that's the kind of fighter you are? Cool. Now that she has this rep, not only will she never get away with that again, but everyone will be looking to give her a taste of her own medicine.
yea it was a cheap shot but she didn't get caught very hard with the first one. She had plenty of chances to recover/attack but she made the wrong choices during the exchange and got knocked out
Fair and Square? quoted by a has-been with no honor.
cheap gunt sore
Hey look, it's not the nicest thing to do, but protect yourself at all times. She did nothing that was against the rules. They're professional fighters, once the round starts you can be attacked at anytime. Sucks for the loser, oh well. Lesson learned!
And the winner by cheapshot: some girl I've never heard of.
wow what a crappy fighter
well it's just da first hit – and not the one that knocks her out…
anyway once you entered the cage ist's all about "protec yourself at all times!"… remember the mayweather vs. ortiz fight!!!!
note to self. dont touch gloves.
I never understood the logic behind the double glove touch, they touched gloves once already at the center of the ring. Why the need to touch gloves again seconds later?
If every women mma fight is like this, I'll start watching it.
They touched gloves before they went to the corners.
Gives a new meaning to "bitch move." If you have to rely on cheap tactics like that, it's indicative that you don't have the confidence to fight a clean, fair fight. Lamesauce.
It's about honour, pure and simple. If you think it's "all good" or "fair" or whatever, well… I guess people know where you stand when it comes to honour and being worthless.
dirty bitch
"protect yourself at all times" blagh blagh blagh yea I mean its not against the rules but it doesn't mean she isn't a worthless cheap bitch.
Poor sportsmanship, period!
They Just Touched Gloves 2 Seconds Before……No Need For Another
Yes, this is why it's a bad idea to touch gloves.
You just touched gloves in the centre.
Why do it again?
It's cheap but I think it's fair.
It's not "all about honor" to everyone. And plenty of people think that mentality in a sport is worthless. Also, this is not like the Mayweather-Ortiz cheap shot. That was the referee's fault. He brought the fighters together and didn't properly restart them. This is not the case here.
She should have went for the take down in after the 1st cheap shot. I mean its easy to say that now but it would have kept in for longer..
It's bad sportsmanship indeed, but it happens. Kinda like the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight, protect yourself at all times..
LAME. She could have back up and shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to touch gloves…she's a coward.
DIRTY… enough said.
This is coward s***. Its the reason I don't like Struve anymore. At least tell the fighter no or shake your head like Cody McKenzie. By the way, people who say "enough said" are gay 99.99% of the time and nobody listens to them.
Cage manners 101: Before the ref. says "fight!", you ask if the other fighter wants to touch gloves. If the other fighter says "no" or doesn't respond, that means no glove touching. I don't know if they agreed to touch gloves, which would make it an even cheaper shot, or if Maia just assumed they were going to. Anyway, Gaff didn't need to pretend she was going to touch gloves.
It's a cheap shot and both fighters will pay for it. Maia with the KO and Gaff with the stain on her reputation. Not many people like to train with or help dirty fighters.
Yeah, she's abitch and the other chick is a dumbass. Why did she brawl?
I have never liked the touching of gloves after the bell. No need. A few years ago you use to see a lot more people charging across to attack at the bell, ala James Thompson. Bell means time to fight.
f****** dirty. Say what you will about protect yourself at all times that s*** was plain dirty cause she faked glove touch and went for the cheap shot. It's not like she waived off the glove touch. She faked it. f****** no honor in that win. Her entire camp should walk out that building hanging their heads in shame.
how can u be proud of that
I never get why people touch gloves if they touch gloves in front of the ref but yeah cheap shot BUT the girl should have seen that she wasn't going to touch gloves as she was walking towards her
Damn even girls do this super cheap bullshit.
woman mma…what do u idiots expect to see??its a side show, dont support it, dont watch it, its bs.
DavidJones, so we are idiots for liking womens MMA? Grow up Jerk off. Tell that to Ronda Rousey as she will make you cry and apologise as she is beating your ass.
I rewatched it a couple of times and at 0:06 it looks like she has her hand extended like she is going to touch the glove,but it happens fast and from the angle you can't see well.
Yeah these guys must be the same who sucker punch people and call it fair.
Learned from Gayweather
I was hoping she dry humped her after knocking her down.
thats the worst
i know its not against the rules but thats dishonorable.
You touch gloves before and after the fight, not during! Once that bell goes and the 5 minutes start ticking down, It's fight time. Go to touch gloves at your own risk because maybe the other fighter wants to come out all guns blazing. And if they do come out all guns blazing, that's well within their rights.
cheap shot granted u should always have ur guard up but she could of at least waived her head no prior to ref saying fight.
cheap shot! what a bitch!
This touch gloves is idiotic, ref says fight fight, no one says you have to show your distance by touching gloves. Protect yourself at all cost end of story. its not cheap shot if there is no rules and its only cheap shot if you get caught by it. In this case that's not why she got knocked out
Make it clear you will not touch gloves (AGAIN). She did fake that she would touch gloves though. Which is why I will consider this, a cheap shot.
Make what clear there are no touch glove rules. Ref says fight that's what you do. So what she faked a touch gloves that is not what knocked the other fighter out. Stop the touch gloves if fighter insist no doing it then they get what happens.
i'm totally against the double touch gloves. it's ridiculous. you touch once already…i think to touch gloves out of respect should come after the fight if anything. ref says fight, you fight, don't try to be cool with a second glove touch.
How can you be sure she was trying to touch gloves, maybe she just holds her hands and strikes all crappy like Royce Gracie did

Antidepressants: New Pharmacological Strategies is a collection of 13 neuroscience papers addressing novel concepts of antidepressant theory not based on the traditional biogenic monoamine hypothesis. The editor, Phil Skolnick, M.D., of the National Institutes of Health, is a respected thought leader in the field of neuroscience and highly qualified in this area of research.
Each of the chapters is actually a unique manuscript, and each is written by a different individual or research team, with a strong international representation. Despite the high quality of the papers presented, which are excellently referenced, there is little or no flow between chapters. In fact, I question whether any attempt was made to coordinate the content of the submissions before going to press.
For the neuroscientist or advanced biological psychiatrist, the book achieves its goal of attempting "to exploit new insights from the laboratory" For the practicing clinical psychiatrist, the book is of limited value and offers very little regarding day-to-day treatment strategies. The mental health provider looking for a cookbook approach to new pharmacotherapeutic strategies should look elsewhere. However, for the advanced psychiatric resident or clinician with a strong neuroscience background, this book offers an interesting collection of cutting-edge neuroscience papers that provide a glimpse into our understanding of the etiology of mood disorders and the pharmacologic management of depression into the 21st century and beyond.

Very short but still very funny.
With this being as quick as it was it played a big factor in the humor with Coffee Bean Lock just saying bluntly he can't get it up then with a sad face so it had a nice,quick punchline to it which made this quite the funny Lock flash even if it was about 10 seconds long.
Rated 3 / 5 stars October 10, 2008
Well I do have to say that this submission was totally out of nowhere when I first opened it. Despite that though, I found it mildly amusing which was pretty cool. The graphics were actually a good ways different then what you would expect, and that was a good take on something old. I would have liked to see it be a little bit longer though, but other then that you did a good job with this submission. Good stuff.
Rated 4 / 5 stars June 22, 2008
I got a good kick out of it even though it was so short. I would suggest making longer flashes but still leaving the jokes of this style still in them.

Yes, I'm weird, but not that weird.
Yes, okay, I have a painted sofa and keep chocolate in the bathroom...
I have been known to eat pie for breakfast...
My favorite color is possum fur...
But I give you my word, I did not set out to make a lamp that looks like glittering bacon.
It started out something closer to a fruit leather chandelier, but sometimes things take a new direction and you are left with something that resembles "the peeling paint off an old truck" or "rusted roof shingles" or "the scales of a fire breathing dragon" or "the bellies of koi fish" or "glittering bacon!"
And, well, with options like that, you just know the bacon had to win out.
Old truck my butt.
I have to be honest and tell you that this project did not come out anything like I expected. I had worked with resin in the past and loved the results, so when ETI sent me a box to try out, I jumped at the chance to experiment. My previous experience working with resin led me to believe it would peel away from aluminum foil. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Initial Plan: Pour blobs of resin on aluminum foil, let it dry, peel away the foil, then hang the remaining pieces on an embroidery hoop like illuminated pieces of fruit leather. Sounds cool huh?
Reality Check: The resin stuck to the 80% of the foil. It peeled away from the 20% where resin was laid on really thick...and even though that was really frustrating, the end result was far cooler than I expected. Whoooopeee! The foil's rippled texture showed through the resin and the jagged shapes looked like dragon scales. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
- Envirotex Lite High Gloss Finish. This includes two 8oz bottles of Resin and Hardner.
- Measuring cup and disposable spoon
- Paprika
- Aluminum foil
- Chicken wire
- 28 gauge wire cut into 2" pieces, or leftover ornament hooks
- Light chord kit
- REQUIRED: open window and a working fan
The resin is going to spread while it dries, sort of like baking cookies, so you need to set down parameters. I thought about using aluminum cupcake liners, but decided I wanted more abstract shapes. I grabbed a 5' piece of foil, then used my fingers to pinched 1" pleats into the foil. Then I crimped up the edges, leaving a series of rectangular tray-like shapes. This is a very aproximate thing, no need to measure, just set up some guides so the resin doesn't blend into one giant blob.
Note: Be precise and follow the directions. Sloppy measurments can lead to sticky spots.
Note: You need to do this in a room with excellent ventilation. The smell is not bad at all, but don't mess around with fumes. Open a window, turn on a fan, and use a mask if you are sensitive or doing a giant batch.
Note: I used paprika because I wanted a rusty red color, but you could use all sorts of spices or dry pigments to color the resin. I have had some success using old eyeshadow colors as well. Experiment for yourself, but I would be warry of using any sort of water based paint for fear it would tinker with the chemistry of the resin. Hmm, now I type that, and, in theory, the water should just evaporate away...meaning the drying time would be slowed but the pigments would remain. Hmmm, well, I'll have to try it out and show you next time!
Use the spoon to pour blobs. Don't get precious about it. It will shape itself far better than you can dictate, so let it go and loosen up. Let it dry 24 hours minimum. Be prepared to wait longer if you live in a humid climate or are doing this during a rainy season.
When it's dry, tear away the excess foil.
There will be lots of jagged edges, and even though foil isn't sharp, I didn't want it straggling and looking all angry and sloppy like, so I put on my leather gardening gloves and rubbed all over the edges. This process tore away any ugly bits and softened the sharp edges. If I wasn't such a lazy lump, I would have broke out the sandpaper, but that was asking way too much on this one.
Thread the wire through each piece and twist it like a Christmas ornament. Heads up, you might need to make your holes using a needle or a drill, depending on the thickness.
Making a lampshade out of chicken wire is easy --it's just a simple tube. However, I realize not everyone is comfortable snipping wire and twisting it together, in which case you could certainly use a base made from an old wire lampshade. Or a birdcage. or hanging basket, or anything with little nooks for hanging. I hate that I just typed the word "nook."
Starting at the bottom, hang each piece on the chicken wire, twisting as tight as you see fit.
Build layers upward. The tin foil is will block light, so I made sure to leave gaps and nooks (THERE IS THAT WORD AGAIN) for the light to peep through.
TaDa! You have an illuminated bacon lamp.
If bacon lamps aren't your thing, there are out oodles of other creative projects that use ETI's products featured on their blog. You can also check them out on facebook and the twitters.
Send me pictures if you make something!

Magic Mike questions male stereotypes
Star Channing Tatum inspired by stripper past
Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum in Magic Mike (Warner Bros.)
Yes, it's true: Channing Tatum used to work as a stripper.
US Magazine reported that potentially embarrassing fact back in 2009. But instead of trying to bury his past -- difficult to do once video hit the Internet of him performing in an Orlando, Florida nightclub under the stage name Chan Crawford -- Tatum teamed up with his screenwriter buddy Reid Carolin to turn his notoriety into art.
The result is Magic Mike, a comedy-drama directed by Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Contagion), starring Tatum as Mike, a busy young hustler whose dreams of designing custom furniture are continually sidetracked by the party lifestyle afforded by his weekend job as the lead dancer in an all-male revue.
Cast and crew gathered recently for a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, where one reporter asked Tatum, somewhat jokingly, why he stopped stripping.
"Look, I was 18-years old," he says. "I worked three jobs; this was just one of them. And I really enjoyed performing; it was probably my first performing job. I really like to dance, obviously. But then I didn't really like taking the clothes off at the end.
"But the [stripping] world in itself was just a very dark world in a way," he adds. "I don't think we even scratched the surface of really how dark that world can get and how slippery of a slope it can actually be. This was probably the most palatable version of this movie. Otherwise you wouldn't want to see it twice. You'd be like 'okay, I feel dirty now.'"
Not surprisingly, perhaps, Tatum didn't have much fear of shedding his clothes on stage during production. The same, however, could not be said of his colleagues.
"I was nervous, very nervous," admits Matthew McConaughey who plays the club's owner/MC and occasional dancer Dallas. "Before going out on a stage to dance, even if you're not taking your clothes off, is kind of nerve-wracking. But after doing it once, [I] kind of wanted to get up and do it again!"
Tatum was also the clear winner amongst his castmates when it came to who was the best dancer, a skill he showcased in the 2006 film Step Up.
Says McConaughey: "We all got to see Channing dance for the first time. So it became obvious. I was like 'the best I can do is get second place.'"
"A very, very, very distant second place," adds Joe Manganiello (TV's True Blood) who plays the appropriately-named Big Dick Richie. "Chan's in a dancing movie; we're in a dry humping movie!"
Several questions are asked about the cast's wardrobe, specifically their reliance on a certain skimpy piece of apparel.
"As far as trusting wardrobe, it's one of the larger leaps of faith to trust a thong," says McConaughey.
"And sometimes they completely betray you," adds Tatum, giggling.
"And it weighs what a dollar bill weighs," McConaughey says, incredulous. "It weighs nothing! At the end of this performance, this is the only protection I have. So the first time putting it on, you're thinking, 'What's every possible angle I could be in? I need to check to see if everything's covered.' And you don't understand how it is. And for the most part it is."
Matt Bomer (TV's White Collar), who plays Ken, attributes the cast's ability to get over their fear of exposing themselves -- both literally and figuratively -- to their director.
"It was an exercise in complete commitment," he says. "Steven said to us early on: 'Jump off the cliff and I'll catch you.' And he's the kind of director you believe when he says something like that. And we were all completely terrified. But it's not the kind of movie you can only commit 75 per cent to. You have to go all the way."
One of Magic Mike's prominent themes is what it means to be a man. Each stripper in the film embodies masculine archetypes in their performances -- the fireman, the cowboy, Tarzan, the Ken Doll -- but each is stuck in a perpetual adolescence of sex and drugs. Only Cody Horn's character, Brooke, calls Mike on the facileness of his lifestyle.
"So much of what the story is about is getting out of this way station that we're all in that has become our life," says Adam Rodriguez (TV's CSI: Miami) who plays Latin dancer Tito. "We thought it was a pit stop on the way to achieving some bigger dreams, because all the guys in the movie have bigger dreams."
"Big Dick Richie don't have bigger dreams," says Manganiello to big laughs. "This is it for him. This is the best place for him; the safest place for the rest of the world.
"It's about club life," Manganiello adds. "And it's about being trapped in this life. It's a very shiny, attractive place to be, and I think that people get stuck in it and years go by."
"I think everybody knows somebody who has experienced it themselves, whether they did or didn't graduate college," says Tatum. "Afterwards, you're like 'okay, what I do now?'
"And then you have dreams that you want to do. And then you kind of have to do other jobs until you can get to that dream. And Mike -- and I think a lot of these other guys -- just kind of fell into this thing because it was fun, and years just sort of ticked on as the party was happening. And all of a sudden it's seven years later, and you're like 'wow, I really haven't much to show for it. I'm no closer to my dream.' And at some point the party just got in the way, and you can't get out. I think that's happened to a lot of people; they just get sidetracked."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think the thing, for better and worse, is that they chose Walt Simonson to write this comic.
He's a product of the 70s and while his mythological knowledge and love for classical fantasy tropes is there, he doesn't necessarily mesh well with Warcraft, even though Metzen is a big fan and Simonson's Thor comic book run, which has some precursors to steampunk in it and a mix of high adventure and humor, is obviously a big influence on Metzen's Warcraft.
The result is that Warcraft feels a little too reverent, a little too fantasy based, a little too fairy tale.
And, honestly, if I were to place Simonson on a Warcraft project, it would be one focussed on the Vrykul. The norse-inspired stuff shines under Simonson and I feel like someone told him to play down the kind of humor he used to do in Fantastic Four.
Off the top of my head, they should consider making these projects shorter (six-issues tops) and amping up the FUN content a little, focusing on story rather than straight lore.
Joe Kelly could do an engaging story about an engineer. He has a steampunk sensibility and his writing would mesh well with a very animated art style and the Gnomes and Goblins. It would be worth it for the anarchronism alone -- and it isn't Warcraft without some modern speech and anachronism worked in.
And while it's a pipe dream, Neil Gaiman would be well-suited to the quasi-Japanese, quasi-Elizabethan, quasi-amazon Night Elves. The elves and the Emerald Dream could practically function as an extension of his Sandman.
Somebody should hand Jeph Loeb a big book of crazy trinkets and quest lines like the Orb of Deception and the Caverns of Time and let him and Ed McGuinness spend six issues breaking the lore (and the universe) with Rhonin and Saurfang.
Mark Millar could probably do something engaging with Varien and Thrall, since his sensibilities blend together war and national security concerns. He's able to instill war-mongering tyrants with a bit of majesty.
Geoff Johns is a perfect fir for Illidan's biography. He grasps the idea of the angry outsider as anti-hero quite well and is a trivia nerd capable of absorbing the lore.
Grant Morrison belongs on a project involving the Titans and the Burning Legion, probably interspliced with a modern story centering around a five man party present day.
Simonson is best suited to the Vrykul and the origins of humanity.
Judd Winick seems like the guy to handle the Blood Elves in all their seedy majesty. Sure, his women are trampy, his characters are uber trendy, his characters alternate between borderline gay jokes and lectures against the evils of homophobia... But that sounds like a Blood Elf comic to me.

Hannah Montana will no longer party in the U.S.A. ... cause she's dead -- this according to Miley Cyrus.
Miley dropped the bombshell during last night's "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue ... but didn't go into detail about how H.M. bit the dust.
The singer also talked about her infamous VMA performance -- and said she's done twerking ... 'cause "white people" made it lame.
Not one peep about Sinead O'Connor.
R.I.P. Hannah Montana 1992-2013
Sad to see that this is what young girls have to look up to today - filth, trash, vulgarity like Cyrus, Rihanna, Kardashians.
Oh, darn, I missed it, the tragedy, pfft. I see her "people" are doing their jobs, making sure the media flatters her today. SNL can't undo her Terry Richardson photos. She's nasty.
if you spell miley backwards it says.... lameflatbuttwhitechick. .. shes the one that made it lame..freaking camel voice b1tch
Grab your Cankles or Vag Jerky, we have seen the future and it is Courtney and Miley (though less talented), eh? Yes indeed the really hot chicks will soon look like Courtney and act like Miley and equilibrium will be restored in the Universe! Yes, Imitation is the sincerest form of Flattery and we have seen the Prototypes; mass production to follow… These snatches will be everywhere!
Welcome to the World of Non Moody B!tches! Too skinny to drop an egg, they are always dressed to kill, happy as a lark, beaming sexuality like a Red Light District gone nuclear. They are The Man Pleasers!
The Man Pleasers engage the moneyed demographic of high tech nerds who seldom come out of their caves of video game heaven, buy everything on line, and don't want real relationships (errrr, with actual conversations), they just want a Man Pleaser! And they are willing to pay (BIG!). The deep end of the gene pool with deep pockets of the male species will only pay to play, eh?
Yes, they have discovered it is cheaper to rent than marry…! And who would want to marry a Man Pleaser anyway?

i'm willing to put a nice long hair wig on Miley Cyrus and nail miley all day long...
Do people still watch SNL?
she's a rebel and i love her....!!
standing tall for what you believe in ...
dating whoever you want (because its your choice), still staying level headed without letting insecure low lives dictate the outcome of your life, all while achieving greatness in whatever field you're in with no apologies...
the power of a real woman..!!!!
The good news is...... she didn't have Linds as her "special surprise" guest. The two of them talking at the same time would've caused catastrophic damage to the building structure. This way, everybody got to keep their diamonds.
That was the worst SNL!! The show needs better hosts.Miley has jumped the shark!
Watched it last night and man she was horrible!
"The singer also talked about her infamous VMA performance -- and said she's done twerking ... 'cause "white people" made it lame." So is she including herself in those "white people" who made it lame? Just askin'.
"she's a rebel and i love her....!!

As a founding member of the Feminist Movement I am absolutely appalled
and disgusted that you would even try to put this slug with a tongue into a feminist category......
To try to raise her up as the idea of a modern woman.....She is the poster child for a Morally Bankrupt. Idiots who use their BODIES not brains as a tool to get what they want" in other words she is a Whore. with a loud mouth... She's not showing how powerful she is ...she showing how LAZY she is in her morals and self respect ....And how Stupid she is for letting her self be used and she is being used by MEN who control and direct her career for their gratification and money...She is in control of NOTHING>!!!!
Maybe when you get past your 14th birthday you might want to rethink your position ...cause right now you are a complete idiot...
Still crappy and fugly.
She's done with twerking? The truth is she never did twerk..that wasnt even her in that infamous twerk video, except at the end when she lifts up her hoodie. This is why she has been unable to replicate those same moves since..not even on the VMAs.

Organizers Bicker over Future of Singapore Show
The February 2006 Asian Aerospace show at Singapore's Changi Airport will be the last event in its current format, following a sudden split between the Singapore government and show organizer Reed Exhibitions. Singapore authorities have decided to run their own biennial air show starting February 2008. UK-based Reed is now considering alternative venues outside Singapore to stage future Asian Aerospace events. The Singapore government insists that the new Changi International Airshow will be held in the traditional slot of February in even-numbered years, but it is hard to see how two Asian shows could be held during the same period. Despite their falling out, both Reed and the Singapore government have insisted that they will still cooperate with each other in the running of the 2006 Asian Aerospace show.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is defending a controversial radio ad calling on citizens to learn to handle a gun because calling 911 and waiting isn't the best option anymore.
Clarke says law enforcement cutbacks have made it necessary. "I have 350 sworn law enforcement officers, and last year with the budget cut, I had to lay off 42 people. The city of Milwaukee Police Department that I work with, in conjunction with them anyway for public safety in Milwaukee County, this year is furloughing 1,500 officers three days each. That's 4,500 fewer officer days that will be spent on the street."
Clarke says he does not want citizens to go out and enforce the law and that he has always believed personal safety is a matter of individual responsibility.

I love green in a child's room (actually, I love green in ANY room!). We've moved several times since our daughter was born (we're Army) and her room is always painted a happy Granny Smith apple green (Laura Ashley makes a great one!)
(Before I put the alphabet on the wall)
I love green for a baby girl room.
tgray, that's a lovely shade of green! i'll have to hunt down the color.
LOVE all the green...
tgray99 - I clinked on your links and that toddler bed is great. Was it a crib at one time and if so, what kind is it? I'm doing the research and I love the look of yours.
Green!!! How lovely! Such a fresh and underestimated colour for a girl!

Italy's Ultra-Fresh Olio Nuovo Is Officially In Season & Dominating SF Menus
You've got to be gentle with it," warns Perbacco's chef Staffan Terje (pictured) of Italy's powerful olio nuovo—the extra-virgin olive oil that's being cold-pressed, bottled up, and shipped to restaurants now. It's so fresh, it's likened to drinking milk from a cow. Terje, who uses the emerald green, murky oil to top off bean soups and grilled meats, favors Tenuta di Capezzana, a classic from Tuscany. But like chef Chris Cosentino of Incanto, Terje also loves Umbria's Frantoio Olivestri, which he uses to make his olive oil gelato. At Rose Pistola and Terzo, chef Mark Gordon is fond of Fiordolio, another Umbrian number. "It's got lots of pepper and a buttery texture yet still maintains a good amount of fruit," he says. On Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 2, Boulevard and Prospect will go as far as to bring down Seattle-based Jeffrey Bergman, a self-titled olive oil sommelier, to pour olive oil flights. Italy had a hot summer, which means the new oil is likely to be intense. "It's almost effervescent, and the polyphenols just sparkle in your mouth," he says. "The oil is just alive. It's incredible."
To make olive oil dinner reservations, contact Boulevard (1 Mission St. at Steuart, 415-543-6084) or Prospect (300 Spear St. at Folsom, 415-240-7770). Find the olive oils at casedecase.com and markethallfoods.com.

How to: Eat Your Way Through Philly Like the Locals Do

What the Argentina Default Means For Travelers
For the second time in less than 15 years, Argentina has defaulted on its debt. It's no doubt a black mark on the country as it attempts to rebuild trust on a global scale and rekindle investment from outside of its own borders, but the default of 2014 is very different than the default of 2001/2002. While the earlier default led to radical austerity measures, wage cuts, tax hikes, and a de-pegging of the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the 2014 default is more technicality and less catastrophe.
For those out of the loop, the 2001/2002 default eventually led to riots and protests from Argentine citizens who were outrages by the government's decision to simultaneously increase the cost of living while driving wages down. That, as you can imagine, was a nightmare for travelers, but this time it's a bit different. When a nation as large as Argentina defaults, it obviously makes waves, and we've rounded up a few notes for those who may be wondering how it'll impact their travelers there.
Disney World Over the Holidays: 5 Must-Know Tips
To say that Disney World in Orlando, Florida pulls out all the stops for the holidays is an understatement. Starting in September, the Magic Kingdom is decked out in fall and Halloween décor. The entire resort, including the parks and hotels, later makes the transition to Christmas decorations in November through the first couple days of the New Year. Wreaths, lights, garland — you name it, they've got it.
The holiday festivities alone are enough to draw in thousands of visitors during the last few months of the year. Here's what you should know when traveling there during this season.

9 Unexpected Ways to Use Your Hotel Concierge
You know you can ask the concierge to arrange a jeep tour or recommend a local restaurant. But did you know they'll also hunt down the perfect souvenir or replace those dress slacks you forgot to pack while you lounge by the pool?
Most concierges want to do whatever it takes to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The best part is that the concierge's time and expertise is usually complimentary, though you'll of course be charged for items and services purchased on your behalf. Gratuities aren't mandatory but are always appreciated (a simple thank you in person or a sincere email when you return home go a long way, too).
Here, some surprising requests that you can ask of your concierge:

In Beverly Hills, a Fittingly Fabulous Chinese Restaurant Gets a Facelift
When you're on vacation, the restaurants where you choose to dine can be as much a part of your experience as your hotel, or the sites you visit. If you're heading to Los Angeles's Beverly Hills neighborhood and want to splurge on a meal that truly suits the neighborhood's ambiance, try the local outpost of Hakkasan. With locations in such far-flung locations as Dubai, Mumbai, and Las Vegas, the restaurants are known as much for their low-lit, dark-wood interiors and chichi clientele as for high-end Chinese cuisine.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A private foundation says the well-being of West Virginia's children has improved over the past two decades. But there are still problem areas.
A report released Tuesday by the Annie E. Casey Foundation ranks West Virginia 37th in the nation in children's well-being.
The report is based on 16 indicators, including children without health insurance and proficiency in math and reading.
West Virginia is ranked 28th in economic well-being, 33rd in family and community, 35th in health and 46th in education.
The report says West Virginia has improved in 13 indicators since 1990. The state has worsened in three indicators, including the number of children living in single parent households.
The report is part of the foundation's KIDS COUNT project.

In the very first Media Day in Albany, New York, the ECAC Media Day, the Princeton Tigers are the favorite in both the Coaches and Media Poll, and with good reason. The defending ECAC Tournament Champions return 21 players from last years squad, bringing back a lot of experience.
Rounding out the top four, in order (in both polls) are Harvard, Cornell and Clarkson, respectively.
Harvard is a little shaky right now and Cornell looks like the stronger of the two through four seeds.
Other things of note include Quinnipiac and Union flip-flopping in the polls at five and six (Quinnipiac is fifth in the Media Poll and sixth in the coaches and vise versa for Union). Yale is seventh in both polls and St. Lawrence is eighth, while Dartmouth is 11th and Brown is 12th. The other flip-flop in the polls is Colgate and Rensselaer (Colgate ninth in the Coaches and 10th in the Media and vise versa for Rensselaer).
With the Round-Up of that, here is how I see things:
Rosie's ECAC Poll:
1. Princeton
2. Cornell
3. Clarkson
4. Union
5. Harvard
6. Yale
7. Quinnipiac
8. Colgate
9. St. Lawrence
10. Dartmouth
11. Rensselaer
12. Brown
Those are my picks from the ECAC. Stay tuned we got five more conferences to go!

This just makes me want to pledge my loyalty to House Stark even more….
Blunt the knives, bend the forks,
Smash the bottles and burn the corks,
Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
Cut the cloth and tread the fat,
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat,
Pour the milk on the pantry floor,
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl,
Pound them up with a thumping pole,
And when you've finished if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!
Old school trolls!
Another reason I love Wil & Anne Wheaton!

Sometimes people look back on a time, remembering the good and overlooking the bad.
While the nation pulled together to fight World War II there were some ugly events that showed America was still on the journey to the goal in the United States Declaration of Independence,"that all men are created equal…"
According to the PBS website American Experience, at the time Los Angels was a volatile stew of cultures. Mexicans fleeing revolution, landless dustbowl refugees, African-Americans departing the south in search of better jobs and more freedom, Japanese undergoing forced relocation, and the pressure of an influx of thousands of servicemen blowing off steam on leave.
Tensions were particularly high in segregated enclaves where out of town drunk servicemen were sometimes beaten when they failed to respect local culture.
Tensions rose between the communities and the Los Angeles authorities began to crack down on Zoot-suited young men who swaggered to the beat of jazz music.
Perhaps the style alone was enough to ignite anger for some. In an era of forced wartime austerity a proper zoot suit required double the usual quantity of fabric.
Sailors and Zootsuiters faced off in a series of fights as summer began to heat up in June 1943.
The police, many World War I veterans, were reluctant to arrest servicemen.
At one point a cartoonist dressed Axis leaders Tojo, Hitler and Mussolini in zootsuits.
Later a citizen panel would blame racism for the cause, the mayor pointed at white Southerners and juvenile delinquents.

Lucius Septimius Severus: no, he didn't kill Dumbledore. Septimius Severus was Roman emperor from AD 193-211. (And JK Rowling studied classics joint honours at Exeter University, so that's where she'll have got the names.)
Septimius Severus was Libyan. Tripoli, when you come to think about it, has a nice Greek ring to it, and indeed means "three cities" – ancient Tripolitania consisting of Sabratha, Oea and Lepcis Magna. His legacy in Tripolitania was a massive rebuilding of Lepcis Magna – a vast new city centre with all the trimmings of theatre, basilica, forum and temple. On Saturday, at a study day run by the Association for Roman Archaeology and the Roman Society at the British Museum, Dr Philip Kenrick described fascinatingly how this grandiose scheme seems never have been properly completed. In the massive basilica, with its columns of Aswan granite, the mouldings on the column bases had been rounded off and polished – but only on the side facing outwards into the nave. The parts facing the aisles remain to this day rough and angular, unfinished. Kenrick said he liked to imagine a deadline having been set for the official opening – and overworked artisans being ordered to get the important, really visible bits done, and just leave the rest.
Also at the event was Dr Hafed Walda, a Libyan scholar based at King's College, London, who welcomed the audience "on behalf of the new government". He was able to confirm that the extraordinary archaeological sites around Lepcis and Sabratha had survived the recent conflict unscathed. And he spoke about Gaddafi's relationship with Severus. For years, said Walda, an antique bronze statue of the emperor had stood in Green Square, now Martyrs' Square. "It witnessed all the major events there from the era of the kings, to the Italian period, to the Gaddafi period," he said. In the late 1970s, as things got tougher under the dictator, the statue started to get used as a way of cloaking and depersonalising subversion. "Septimius Severus became the mouthpiece for opposition," explained Walda. "People would ask each other, 'What's Septimius Severus saying today? So Gaddafi decided to topple him." The statue was duly removed from Green Square. Later, in the 1990s, the archaeological authorities decided to reinstate the statue but in a new location at the site at Lepcis. "In 1993 there was a fancy opening, and Gaddafi was invited, but he refused. His aides said, 'No wonder – he sees Septimius Severus as a rival.' " Continue reading...

- Caviar appears to have qualities that nourish and enhance nerve cells, which can heighten our romantic feelings. Caviar's powers are reinforced with the addition of vodka, so indulge both passions at the same time and watch out for fireworks.
- A recent study showed that mussels, clams and oysters contain compounds that have been shown to release sexual hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
- Figs not only have an erotic look, they have long been a symbol of fertility and love.
- Truffles contain a chemical that is similar to the male pig sex hormone. Now you know why they use sows to search out truffles: the scent drives the girls wild. The chemical in truffles is also similar to a human male sex hormone, which gives truffles their romantic reputation. It doesn't hurt that truffles are also expensive and hard to find.
- Chocolate contains mild central nervous system stimulants that help heighten mood. According to legend, Montezuma drank 50 cups of chocolate every day to boost his virility before visiting his harem of 600 women. Unless you have your own personal harem, I wouldn't advise that amount of chocolate; a small amount of really good chocolate should set the mood just as easily.
According to a 17-century herbalist, asparagus "stirs up lust in man and woman."
- Coffee drinkers reportedly are more sexually active than non-coffee drinkers.
- Radishes worked for the ancient Egyptians.
- The heat in garlic supposedly fires the flames of passion. Just don't forget the breath mints!

I have been there for a few years now, and its really not as bad as people make it seem. Yes there are pot heads and stupid fights but all schools have that. What i got from going here is helpful and supportive teachers, who dont put alot of pressure on you to be an a+ student, great electives and fair rules. Granted yes the schools a bit crammed, ecspecially in the halls. But all in all its a pretty nice place to be.
Please do your family a favor and don't send your children here. As a former student, let me tell you, all this school is 60% wanna-be thugs, 20% drug addicts, and the rest are the normal students who barely get by as it is. THERE ARE SECURITY GUARDS EVERYWHERE. Why? because they're fights almost every week, if not every two weeks. There was once a day when 4-8 fights happened in one school day alone, nicknamed "fight day". more than half of the fights are staged because they "want to go home early" seriously. not a fan of this school, glad i moved.
No air conditioning and lots of students do drugs. Not a fan. School needs serious updating. The hallways are cramped and classes are overcrowded. Teachers emphasize on getting by instead of excelling. No motivation..
This High School provides the sports, education and challenging academic programs that creates a rich environment for a kids to succeed.
I have to say I love Newfield High School. My son is a straight A student and was often not challenged in the past. He is doing wonderfully now. The teachers are great.
the staff and teachers here really care and do much for the community,
this school is very unorganized and it's punishmets for student's in my opinion is not acceptable
My son was in school here, and wasn't doing well. There is too much emphasis on getting by and discipline, and not enough emphasis on excelling and goals. He is now in a different district and is doing great. Midlle Country District is not one that I will miss.
I love newfield its a fun safe enviornment every school has the problems but newfields problems are nothing compared to other schools in the area!..GO WOLVERINES
nice small classes? thats a good joke. theres about 32 kids in many of my classes. this school is a joke it looks terrible, we have no money, the kids are higher then the grades. no pride or motivation whatsoever
Newfield High School is a wonderful environment for students -- a place where it is not difficult to feel at home. There are tons of wonderful elective classes available, and not enough periods in the day! The budget doesn't give a lot of room for improvement of the arts departments (the focus is mainly on sports, unfortunately), but department leaders are fantastic at making do with what the school does have. The teachers are excellent, intelligent, and top notch. Not only are they great educators, but great influences as well. They're extremely friendly and open to parent involvement. There could be more parent involvement, and I really wish some parents would take some time to get involved with Newfield. Newfield is a great school and my daughter's experience there was amazing, and something she will never forget.
There are many academic classes to choose from, especially electives and honors classses. The teachers are enthusiastic and very eager to help the kids succeed. They welcome communication from the parents, which is something I did not find at the Middle School. The Music department is in the top 100 in the country and there are also many other extracurricular activities to choose from. I would like to see more parents involved in the school.
Large enough school to emcompass more elective classes, marvelous music department with many extracurricular activities that give students the opportunity to be student-run.
Middle Country and especially Newfield could use some more community support and a little sense of pride.
Great school, security high, teacher are one on one with parents. Sports are good and my kids say the teachers are nice. School is very clean just upgraded, and new wings have been added.
A good school, with great teachers. Nice small classes.
