Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman The email arrives Could it be true? The short 2-minute, continuous-shot video you and your buddies made on a boring rainy weekend with your new Sony NEX-6 that you uploaded online directly from your camera, no less has attracted the attention of the local arts council. You've been asked if you might consider submitting an expanded version for the city's film festival later in the summer. Are you ready for the challenge? With the Sony Alpha NEX-6, there's no doubt you'll have the tools to set your talent free. The Sony Alpha NEX-6 features a multi-interface shoe that hosts many Sony Handycam® video accessories in addition to flash units (lens not included) Ready for two worlds Of course, the NEX-6 is an exceptional and versatile still camera. And those stills will probably be helpful in your upcoming production. But it's good to know that the big Exmor® APS-C sensor, the low-compression high-def video capture, and the flexibility of 60p/60i/24p frame rates are standing by to help make your video project look the best it can. And wait: the NEX-6 is the first in its family to offer compatibility with Sony's Handycam® video line of accessories, by way of the new Multi-Interface Shoe. This freshly redesigned bracket doesn't just give an external flash unit a place to live. It also hosts tools for the video artist, things like microphones and lights. And don't forget, the NEX-6 is compatible with the growing line of tack-sharp Sony E-Series lenses, so you'll be able to fine-tune your shooting approach to your surroundings and subject matter. In fact, this NEX-6 ships with a compact, retractable lens: the SELP-1650 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 3.1 power zoom lens. Its short length is a real plus when it comes to packing it away, because it easily fits in a coat pocket or knapsack. It's got Optical SteadyShot so you'll get more keepers and less blur from handheld shots. The focal length is perfect for tight indoor quarters and portraits and everything in between. And the zoom is electronically powered so you can zoom smoothly while shooting video. Apps like a smartphone Wi-Fi® adds another dimension to your camera's skillset. Like your smartphone, your NEX-6 can download apps that can make your camera even more useful. Imagine doing retouching on your touchscreen, or using your tablet as a remote viewer/controller for your camera. Features like this can make you a director and your movie's star simultaneously. Don't let one member of the family/friends/crew (yourself) be invisible anymore. Sophisticated features for the aspiring professional And you'll appreciate all the things that make the NEX-6 a top-level still camera as well. Dedicated exposure and control dials are placed within easy reach of your thumb and index finger, so you can concentrate on the scene in front of you instead of reading menus. Fast hybrid autofocus uses two strategies (contrast detection and phase detection) to predict and track moving subjects in space. Auto Portrait Framing and Auto HDR ensure that the pictures you capture are more likely to be keepers. And the ultra-high resolution organic LED (OLED) viewfinder, in all its 2,359k-dot glory, is such a thing of beauty that's it's been repeatedly acclaimed in enthusiast magazine and website reviews since its introduction back in 2011. So feel free to yell "action" anytime you want. This camera lives for it, and it lives to put it on your screen or picture frame. Don't forget to bring it to the awards ceremony.

Try a mirrorless camera. These digital cameras combine the creative options of a DSLR with portability that's more like that of a point-and-shoot. Their automatic modes will help you take striking pictures from day one without having to be an expert. However, like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have interchangeable lenses, and advanced control and processing. You can explore these features for even better results as you take time to learn more about the hobby. Cameras in this class have large image sensors for beautifully detailed pictures, but their mirrorless design means the camera bodies and matching lenses can be smaller, lighter, and more portable great for snapping memorable pics when you're on the move.

Outstanding, cost effective camera!. After considerable research, I concluded that the the NEX6 can't be beat for its price. Pros: Comes with many 21st- century features (e.g. HDR, smile detection, remote operation from a smart phone, etc), two convenient automatic modes, and also allows easy operation in "professional" (non-automatic, 20th-century) mode --allowing for a high degree of control.The electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a welcome relief to the possible eye strain caused by viewing an led screen/finder in bright sunlight Cons: Lens quality is very good but not top grade. However , almost any resulting imperfections can be effectively managed via post-processing software: Perhaps this is the new general norm. Was this review helpful? Yes No SLR FEATURES AT HALF THE SIZE! Written By MAC, NEW ORLEANS, LA on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) What a great little camera-fully adjustable, easy to hold, super viewfinder and a sensor that's 13 times larger that a compact point and shoot! Bought the open box offer from Crutchfield and camera was in NEW condition-must have been a return. Extremely pleased with price and excellent Crutchfield customer service. Pros: Large sensor, super wide angle (24 mm equivalent) lens, excellent viewfinder, hot shoe for larger flash,easy menus,wi-fi picture transfers, mode dial on top of camera, easy to grip, compact zoom lens. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No very good compact camera Written By Nathan, rye, ny on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) excellent image quality. Very compact, and comfortable to use Pros: Excellent image quality. Good, compact, size. Cons: Some slow processes - start up, lens zoom. Not great battery life, needs charging regularly. Some parallax issues between viewfinder and final image. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great DSLR alternative Written By GaryK, Los Angeles, CA on Friday, May 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The NEX-6 was the perfect combination of features and photo quality for me. I wanted the sensor size/quality and phase detection autofocus of a DSLR, but without the size of one, and the NEX-6 provides that. The excellent viewfinder is also great for bright conditions - can't get a viewfinder nor the large APS-C sensor in most compact cameras. Really happy with picture and video quality. I have a Sony A57, Nikon D70, and a camcorder, but I've hardly used any of them since I received the NEX-6. Pros: DSLR quality photos but in a much smaller and lighter package Cons: Lenses are expensive relative to DSLR lenses. Continuous autofocus on moving subjects is still not quite as fast and accurate as my DSLR, especially in lower light Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Camera NEX-6 w/16-50mm lens Written By Acer, Hamilton, IL on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I owned an Alpha 700, I sold it to purchase a NEX camera since I no longer carry the big bulky DSLR around with me. I found myself not wanting to lug around a huge camera. At first I was wanting the NEX-5R with the same lens as this one, but for some reason, SONY still have not released it to this day. So, as soon as the NEX-6 came out with this lens, I jumped on it even though the price difference is $300; totally worth it. Although, I sacrificed a touch screen, I gained an awesome viewfinder and a built in pop up flash. The built in view finder is so sharp that everything you look at in it looks almost 3D; it reminded me of looking through a Viewmaster as a kid. I've had this camera now for three weeks, and I am very impressed. I have yet to explore all the apps that you can download to it, but I do love the fact that I can use my Android phone to use as a remote with Live View; I used it this Thanksgiving to take a Family Portrait with the camera on a tri-pod, beats using a timer. The only thing I found lacking is the manual focus for the lens, which prevented me from giving this review a solid 5. All in all, this is a really good switch for me; I now find myself wanting to take this camera with me all the time. Pros: Size, portability, built in View Finder, Pop up Flash, Smart phone App to control camera. Cons: No manual focus for the lens. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Camera Operations: The camera can be controlled using the following controls: Control Wheel: The control wheel, located on the back of the camera is a 4-way control (up, down, left, right) for selecting specific functions, as well as a rotary control for browsing through menu options and selecting still images. Pressing the center of the wheel confirms the selection or menu item. Control Dial: The top-mounted control dial lets you set the aperture value and shutter speed. The setting value assigned to the control dial changes for each shooting mode. Soft Keys: The three soft keys, located next to the touch screen, have different roles, depending upon the context. The assigned function of each soft key is displayed on the screen. Fast Hybrid AF System: The NEX-6L's high-performance Fast Hybrid auto focus system combines two technologies. Phase Detection uses 99 auto focus points to give you a quick response, ideal for tracking moving subjects. Contrast Detection auto focus uses 25 AF points for precise focusing. Drive Modes: The camera offers the following shooting modes: Single Shooting: Default setting for standard picture taking--shoots one still image. Continuous Shooting: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously. Speed Priority Continuous: When you press and hold the shutter button, the camera records the images continuously at a maximum 10 frames per second. Self-Timer: You can set the camera to two different self-timers: 10 second for self photos, 2 second to reduce camera shake. Bracket (Continuous): The camera can shoot three continuous images with the exposures shifted automatically. This setting shoots images continuously with exposure value shifted by plus or minus 0.3 EV, 0.7 EV, 1.0 EV, 2.0 EV, or 3.0 EV. Remote Commander: The camera can be operated using the optional RMT-DSLR1 Wireless Remote Commander. Exposure Modes: The camera offers the following exposure modes: Intelligent Auto: The camera analyses the subject, and allows you to shoot with appropriate settings. It recognizes and automatically switches to Night Scene, Tripod Night Scene, Night Portrait, Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Spotlight, Low Brightness or Baby. Superior Auto: The camera automatically recognizes and evaluates the shooting conditions and sets the appropriate settings automatically. The recognized scenes are the same, but the range of shooting functions is wider than those of Intelligent Auto. Scene Selection: You can select an appropriate mode for the subject or the shooting conditions to allow you to shoot the image with a suitable setting for the subject: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset, Night Portrait, Night Scene, and Hand-held Twilight, and Anti-Motion Blur. Sweep Panorama: You can create a panoramic image from composed images. To shoot, pan the camera horizontally or vertically while holding down the shutter button. You can select from the following panorama shooting options: Standard: Vertical--3872 x 2160 (8.4M); Horizontal--8192 x 1856 (15M) Wide: Vertical--5536 x 2160 (15M); Horizontal 12416 x 1856 (23M) Manual Exposure: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the exposure (shutter speed and aperture) manually. Shutter Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the shutter speed manually, letting the camera set the appropriate aperture. Aperture Priority: This mode allows you to shoot after adjusting the aperture value manually, letting the camera set the appropriate shutter speed. Program Auto: This mode allows you to shoot with the exposure adjusted automatically (both the shutter speed and the aperture value), while keeping the custom settings for ISO sensitivity, Creative Style, D-Range optimizer, etc. Picture Effects: The NEX-6L allows you to shoot photos with an effect filter to obtain various images. Available effects include: Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, High Contrast Mono, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Mono, and Miniature. Image Layering: In some Scene Selection modes, the camera captures 6 images in a fraction of a second, then combines the data to create a single image. This helps to control blur (Anti-Motion Blur mode) and to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures (Hand-held Twilight mode). Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-3.0 EV in 1/3-step increments (+/-2.0 EV for movies). Face Detection: When activated, the camera detects the faces of your subjects and adjusts the focus, flash exposure, and white balance settings automatically. You can also select the priority face to be focused on, or register the faces on which to automatically focus upon. Auto Portrait Framing: When taking a photo of a person's face, the Auto Portrait Framing feature analyzes the scene and saves another image of the face with a more impressive composition. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technology with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced, full resolution portraits. This feature can be turned off, if desired. Metering Mode: An advanced 1200-zone evaluative sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions. You can select from the following methods for measuring the brightness of a subject: Multi-pattern: Measures light on each area after dividing the total area into multiple areas and determines the proper exposure of the entire screen. Center-Weighted: While emphasizing the central area of the screen, this method measures the average brightness of the entire screen. Spot: This method measures light only in the spot metering circle in the center of the frame. White Balance: You can adjust the color tones according to the lighting conditions. You can choose from the following WB options: Auto WB: This mode adjusts the white balance automatically. Daylight: This mode adjusts for outdoors and sunlit subjects. Shade: This mode adjust for shady conditions on a clear day. Cloudy: This mode adjust for a cloudy sky. Incandescent: This mode adjusts for incandescent lighting. Fluorescent: This mode adjusts for fluorescent lighting with separate positions for Warm White, Cool White, Day White, and Daylight. Flash: This mode adjusts for flash conditions. Color Temperature: This mode adjusts the white balance depending upon the light source (color temperature). It achieves the effect of color compensation (CC) filters for photography. Custom: In a scene where the ambient light consists of multiple types of light sources, use of the custom white balance is recommended in order to accurately reproduce the whiteness. Creative Style: This camera is pre-programmed with image styles optimal for various scenes and purposes. For each setting, you can adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness. You can choose from the following settings: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, and Black & White. ISO Settings: ISO is a unit of measurement of sensitivity to light. The larger the number, the higher the sensitivity. The camera's ISO can be set automatically (100-3200) or manually at ISO 100-25600. Noise Reduction: The camera offers Long Exposure and High ISO Noise Reduction (NR) to automatically reduce the grainy noise found in photos during long exposures or high ISO settings. Included Lens Optics: The Sony E 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 retractable zoom lens (SELP1650) is compatible with the Sony α NEX-series interchangeable lens cameras.

Optics: The lens includes one ED (extra-low dispersion) and four Aspherical lens elements. The elements correct the curvature that naturally occurs on the wide-angle side, as well as spherical and chromatic aberration on the telephoto side. Powered Zoom: The SELP1650 is the first (Alpha) series lens with an electrically driven zoom mechanism. When the camera powers up, the lens extends and the camera is ready for shooting. The dual function control ring lets you zoom and focus manually, if desired. Optical Steady Shot: The lens has built-in Optical Steady Shot (OSS) image stabilization that gives you a 4-stop shutter speed advantage. This enables you to capture clear, crisp, sharp images and videos. Retractable: The lens has a unique retracting mechanism, that allows you to collapse the lens to just 1-3/16". This makes it super compact, and ideal for travel, and for those situations where you need a light, compact camera and lens combination.

5 Things You Should Know Before Buying Apple's New iPad 3
Human Rights Violations
As you might have seen on the news recently, factories linked to Apple like Foxconn in China have been accused of gross human rights violations. Children as young as 15 have been hired to work and many employees have been subjected to forced overtime. Apple employees are not supposed to work more than 60 hours per week, but many plants have ignored these internal regulations.
Foxconn Suicides
Foxconn has become one of the most visible manufacturing plants after 14 employees committed suicide throughout 2010. Four additional employees attempted to kill themselves by jumping off the roof of their facilities. These suicides are thought to have occurred as a result of poor working conditions and low pay, although ABC News and The Economist both reported that the Foxconn suicide rate is lower than the country's overall suicide rate. However we should point out that some improvement has been made and this plant has since raised its wages by up to 25%.
Supply Chain Pollution
A 46 page report released by the Beijing-based Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs claimed that 27 suspected Apple Plants were committing serious environmental crimes. Complaints include evidence of the release of heavy toxic gases; improper disposal of hazardous waste containing copper, nickel and cyanide; factory emissions that far exceed legal limits, and more.

As other commenters have noted, Apple is not the only computer manufacturer who has used these suppliers. However, Apple is the ONLY company that has mad ANY effort to improve the, admittedly unacceptable conditions in which these people work. At least you're not lying about the situation like some other reporters are:
Mike Daisey, on his weblog today:
I stand by my work. My show is a theatrical piece whose goal is to create a human connection between our gorgeous devices and the brutal circumstances from which they emerge. It uses a combination of fact, memoir, and dramatic license to tell its story, and I believe it does so with integrity. Certainly, the comprehensive investigations undertaken by The New York Times and a number of labor rights groups to document conditions in electronics manufacturing would seem to bear this out.
Except the investigations by The Times and labor rights groups haven't uncovered the sensational things Daisey claims to have found. Worse, Daisey, in his numerous interviews and media appearances, has made these same claims under the pretense that they were factual. Here's a transcript of his appearance on the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC:
SCHULTZ: OK. What did you see?
DAISEY: I saw all the things that everyone has been reporting on. I saw under-age workers. I talked to workers who were 13, 14, 15 years old. I met people whose hands have been destroyed from doing the same motion again and again on the line, carpal tunnel on a scale we can hardly imagine.
SCHULTZ: Making Apple products?
DAISEY: Yes. And making products across the electronics industry. **All our electronics are made in this fashion.**
Where is your reporting on all the other electronic devices, and non-electronic devices that are manufactured in poor conditions in China?
Or are you just jumping on the 'bash Apple' band wagon?

Gallery: The Pollee Urinal by UiWE: Because Girls Sometimes Need to Pee...
The Pollee urinal is comprised of four seats surrounding a central core, allowing four ladies to relieve themselves at once. Handy bars have been provided to help women maintain their stability (particularly if they've had a couple of beers at a music festival) while they squat over the seats.
Three versions of the Pollee are currently being tested: the Pollee Naked for the girls who aren't shy about pulling down their pants in public, featuring no walls, the Pollee Topless, which has low walls, and the Pollee Shy, which offers almost complete privacy. We're not sure yet what materials are being considered for this elegant design, which is simpler, cleaner, and seemingly less wasteful than the conventional portable loos available today, but we'll be sure to keep you posted.

This is fantastic!!! I would totally use any of them. I HATE port-a-potties with a passion and being enclosed with other people's waste? Disgusting. This is a much more sanitiary option and since it's open air, way less stinky. My prediction – this will be popular the world over, but never in the US, because people in the US are really puritanical about body functions and would rather hang out in someone else's filth than be 'exposed'.

Has anyone here ever built there own rotary phase converter? Me and a buddy are looking at a good use Bridgeport mill but it is 3 phase and 3 phase is not available where we are at. So I was told that a phase converter could easily be built out of an out 3 phase motor and some other parts and was wondering if anyone here has ever done it or know where I could find a good how to on making one.

I haven't build one but a few years back I looked into a used 13x40 3 phase lathe. If I remember correctly they were Hp specific. I couldn't just get a big one and cover a number of posibilities.

There are even kits available and all you supply is the 3 phase motor and complete the wiring. Info is readily available, just GOOGLE "PHASE CONVERTER" and you will find more info.
I bought a PHASE PERFECT when I got my cnc mill. I was concerned about the phase to phase voltage with all the electronics. With a standard mill I would go with a rotary phase converter. Some guys go with a VFD (variable freq. drive) but it is up to you. Good luck

I run 2 mills and each one is on it's own 3ph converter. The small converters I bought right from ebay and each is capable of running a 5hp. I think I paid about $69 each from a place in AZ. I looked at getting a bigger one to run all the 3ph stuff but it was a bunch cheaper to just get individual ones. That way you are not wasting any additional power if any of your other equipment is idle.
Good luck

One thing to remember about phase converters, static converters are about 85% efficient & rotary converters are 98 or 99% efficient.Bob Kraemer/Licensed Electrical Contractor

but remember the best of 3phase wye connected motors are only about 90% effecient, and best of single phase motors are only about 80% the power factor goes to crap with a rotory converter. static converters are more effecient at end result. i used to be an industrial electrician, now im a electrical enginner at a electric utility, we had a customer that was runnin a 100hp rotory converter to run his wood workin shop and using about 80hp on the converter and his power bill ran $3000-4000 a month and with the new 3phase wye service his bill is $1500-2500 on the average now theres not a whole lot that goes into building one, especially if you have some of the parts. you may want to still contact your utility and see if there planning on bringin 3ph closer to ya in the future and how much it would be to have a service dropped if your in an area like ours were building so much line right now its crazy.DYNASTY 200DX

Thanks for the info Jake. A 3 phase drop out here is totally out of the question
Now I read somewhere else that a rotary was the better setup especially for something like a mill that changes directions regularly. Is that wrong?

Another option is a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for only 1 machine it may be your best choice, if your going to buy more 3Ø machines a rotary converter may be better, and a static converter would be your least desirable choice.
Here is a site to ask questions on VFD's & RPC's....
I built a rotary converter for my mill & it works great...
I boujht a VFD for one of my lathes, & I like it much better.
Here's a link to a source for a VFD.

Kudos for Climate Smart & Energy Wise
NCSE's Mark McCaffrey's Climate Smart & Energy Wise: Advancing Science Literacy, Knowledge, and Know-How (Corwin Press, 2014) received a positive review from the National Science Teachers Association's NSTA Recommends.
Opinion on evolution in Latin America
"Overall, Latin Americans embrace the idea that humans and other living things have evolved over time." That was the upshot of a Pew Research Center survey on "Religion in Latin America" (PDF) which included a question about evolution: "Thinking about evolution, which comes closer to your view? Human beings and other living things have evolved over time, or humans at other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time."
The new Climate Education and Literacy Initiative
"[T]he White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) is launching a new Climate Education and Literacy Initiative to help connect American students and citizens with the best-available, science-based information about climate change," according (PDF) to a December 3, 2014, press release from the White House. And NCSE is involved.
Lawsuit over NGSS dismissed
A federal court dismissed a creationist lawsuit seeking to prevent Kansas from adopting the Next Generation Science Standards on the grounds that doing so would "establish and endorse a non-theistic religious worldview." In a December 2, 2014, order (PDF) in COPE et al. v. Kansas State Board of Education et al., Judge Daniel D. Crabtree of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the case.
A major new survey on religion and human origins
A new survey suggests that public attitudes toward religion and human origins are more diverse and less confident than the Gallup findings indicate. "It's important to know that a large portion of the population is unsure about their beliefs, and there is a large portion of the population that doesn't care," Jonathan P. Hill told the Atlantic (November 23, 2014), prior to the December 2, 2014, release of the National Study of Religion & Human Origins.

Hey everyone! It's been a while since my last post but I've occasionally lurked around. Matter of fact, last time I posted, you guys helped me buy my dream PC. Here's that thread.
I had that PC built for me but I've learned quite a bit since then and want to build my own this time.
As last time, I'm going to be buying (nearly) all my parts from Global Computer, since I'll get a discount from ordering through my employer.
First thoughts and opinions/suggestions are quite welcome:
*I think I'm going to go with a quad core processor, thinking dual-core will soon be as obsolete as single-core.
*I have a crashed 500 GB Seagate HDD that I will send back for a replacement, under warranty, saving money. I laugh at the HDD shortage of 2012!
*My wife is in college and I'm going to try to buy a student discounted version of Windows 7 Professional 64bit. I don't know how that works, as of yet.
*I want a fairly competent gaming PC. If my PC can run games reasonably well, I figure it can do darn near anything else with ease. Plus, I like games!
*I have an approximate budget of $1000.00.
I know all that is still pretty vague. Basically, I'm wanting a gaming PC for $1000 and I want to build it, not only to save money but for the learning experience.
One other thing I learned from my subscription to MaximumPC is that the AMD GPU's doesn't support PhysX that's included in cool games like Batman: Arkham City. So, I guess I'll go with nVidia.
Any preliminary suggestions?
Thanks to the wonderful folks who helped me buy my current PC. I can't believe it's been six whole years ago! Other than a few HDD failures (and a replaced PSU, which I suspected as the culprit) it continues to be a wonderful machine.
Thanks to Mouser for a wonderful site. By the way, I still have that PM you sent me to donate to your site. I apologize for never getting around to it. It will be done shortly, I promise.
Thanks, everyone.

Eliot Wolf from Green Bay.
Eliot Wolf from Green Bay.
Why wasn't Ireland fired after the end of last season, and why didn't Miami bring in new front office along with a new coaching staff? I don't think his firing is a forgone conclusion.
Thanks to brother Like2God for the great sig!
If Ireland is fired, I hope the Dolphins interview Bobby Grier - Houston Texans senior adviser/Associate player personal or Chris Grier, Bobby's son and Miami's Director of College Scouting. During 1995 & 1996 NFL drafts, Bobby was partial responsible for drafting Ty Law, Ted Johnson, Curtis Martin, Terry Glenn, Lawyer Millory, and Tedy Bruschi. Grier and Parcells worked in tandem, very much like the dynamic between Ireland and Parcells. Grier and his staff would do most of the background work on college prospects and Parcells would listen to Grier's recommendations before a final decision was made.
But what led to the fallout with the Patriots and Parcells was Grier wanted to draft a speedy receiver in Terry Glenn with their 1st round pick however Parcells wanted a defensive linemen. Sound familiar. Anyways, Kraft sided with Grier which led to Parcells quote about shopping for his own groceries.
As for the failed drafts from 1997-1999, I attribute that to Pete Carroll not being in-sync with Grier. Case-in-point the success of Pioli and Belichick together but failures in drafting when apart. Philbin knows what kind of players he wants and Grier have been able to find them.
Finally, Bobby Grier has been with the Texans from 2000-present carrying various titles, with all those players drafted from demeco ryans, kareem jackson, barwin, reeds, cushing, owen daniels not including the obvious Watt and Mario Williams that one can say Grier didn't have any positive input into the these players selected. Hell if he wasn't useful he would have been dumped long ago. Instead he is the longest tenured.
Here are so articles:

In addition, Bobby Grier was the only NFL executive to speak with Lloyd Carr about Tom Brady. At this time Grier was still GM before Belichick fired him and Pioli had just came over from the Jets as Asst. Director of player personal.
Here is the article about Grier and Llyod Carr:
Order of GM candidates to interview(based on preference IMO)

A Richard Montgomery High School student was struck by a car early Thursday while she crossed Rockville Pike in a crosswalk, according to Rockville City Police.
The 17-year-old student had some scrapes from the accident, but did not have life-threatening injuries, according to police Chief T.N. Treschuk.
Police do not know the identifity of the driver, who stopped briefly, then left.
The vehicle was leaving the Rockville Metro station and making a left turn onto Rockville Pike around 7 a.m. when it hit the student, who was walking in the direction of the school, he said.
Treschuk said the driver — a woman in her 30s with short hair — got out of the car and spoke to the student, then drove off.
The student's cellphone was broken in the crash, so she couldn't call anyone, Treschuk said. She got the attention of another driver, who took her to the school.
The student reported the incident to school staff and was taken to a hospital, he said.
"I would tend to think that the weather was a contributing factor," said Treschuk, who noted that it would have been fairly dark out at the time.
"You still have to be very careful when you drive," he said.
He said the incident is under investigation.
When these types of accidents happen, especially when a car hits a pedestrian, the parties involved should stay at the scene until police arrive to make sure everybody is OK, Treschuk said.
The incident occurred a few days after another Richard Montgomery student was struck. In that case, on Oct. 7, a car traveling west on Wootton Parkway hit the student near the intersection with Edmonston Drive.
Treschuk said the 19-year-old male student was crossing the road where there was no crosswalk.
The student was taken to a hospital, where he had been "doing fine," Treschuk said.
He said on Friday that he didn't know if the student was still in the hospital.
"(His injuries) looked pretty bad at the time," Treschuk said.
The driver was not injured and stayed at the scene, he said.
Treschuk said Rockville police have worked with the high school to help educate students about pedestrian safety.
"I know they're very concerned," he said of the school.
A call to the school's principal on Friday was not immediately returned.
Whether a person is crossing the road or driving, Treschuk said, it's important to focus and be aware of one's surroundings.
"We just have to concentrate," he said. "It's a very congested area."

Anyone have any experience welding copper? I believe we are using 110 copper, long machined sections with about 1/4" walls. I have seen that sometimes helium is preferred over argon, but didn't know how well it works in general given the high heat conduction there. Any anecdotes, advice appreciated. I am a novice welder but we have a couple people to turn to with more experience.

thats some big $$$$$ in copper. I have used helium, i preferr it over argon. I've got a question of my own , can u mig/stick/FC weld copper?
Tiggin' copper?
What kind of copper? Copper plate or tubing? I do lots of tubing and use my O/A and 15% silphos sticks, for plating I use acetylene turbotorch and silver bearing solder, 95/5 or 50/50 depending on the application. I have to get the high tensile strength of running the flux and stick into the joint.
Hope this helps.

No experience with helium, I think it affects penetration.

If you use a 75% helium,25% argon mix you can get a much greater heat at lower amperages. This is the only mix we use for copper and aluminum. It definitley increases penetration. It also increases puddling time as well.
I don't know how exactly this works, but I know it does.

How critical is your color-match? Sometimes you can use left-over pieces of the actual material as filler for TIG instead of copper wire or copper TIG filler.

Welding with TIG and argon
I have used Argon to TIG copper, but I justs used stripped copper wires. I also was able to weld copper to steel, but you must just wash the copper into the steel. It will not work in the reverse (steel to copper). I never used any other gas but Argon though.

Argon or Helium
I havae welded on Xray welds in nuclear plants for over 30 years. We never used anything except Argon. I don't know the reason except that Helium is much more costly, but the welds are certainly critical and the Argon works fine. We usually open butt the root pass and then run a hot pass with TIG. Then we usually fill and cap it with 7018 low hydrogen wire (stick welding).

En español | ACTRESS: The swimming champion found stardom in movies that featured her in over-the-top aquatic production numbers. The film career eventually sank, but her popularity was kept afloat by fans' fond memories of her all-American beauty, packed into a sequined bathing suit.
1956: Bettmann/Corbis
ACTRESS: The forever-perky and fresh-faced redhead burst to Broadway stardom by stealing the show from Lauren Bacall in the 1970's Applause. But TV fans will forever know her as Ann Romano, the plucky single mom on the 1975-84 sitcom One Day at a Time. Perky, it turned out, paid.
c. 1980: Hulton Archive/Getty Images
MOVIE CRITIC: He started reviewing films for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967 (a gig he kept until his death) then PBS's Sneak Previews teamed him with Gene Siskel and a star duo was born. His battle with cancer took his speech, but his creative voice remained vital to the end. Two thumbs up.
1969: Bob Kotalik/Chicago Sun-Times/AP Images
ACTRESS, SINGER: For the last 20 years multiple sclerosis weakened her, but America's favorite teen always kept the smile that inspired Walt Disney to cast her as an original Mouseketeer in 1955. Later starring in the Beach Party movies, she transitioned gracefully from singing kid to young adult celebrity.
c. 1955: Hulton Archive/Getty Images
COMEDIAN: He was the king of wild, unpredictable improv humor: In 1964, late-night host Jack Paar gave him a stick to play with, inspiring the most concentrated dose of improvised comic genius in TV history. He wrote books and he painted, but mostly he made us laugh in a way no one else had.
1956: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images
ACTRESS: Although All in the Family's Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor, pictured), called her Edith a "dingbat," Stapleton made it clear that Edith was smarter than she let on. A master of comic timing and heartbreaking drama, she may have been the greatest sitcom actress ever.
1974: CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images
ACTOR: As a former Chicago cop, Farina was a natural to play a detective on TV's Law & Order; but why did he also make such a great crook in movies like Midnight Run and Get Shorty? We loved Farina's blunt, take-no-prisoners persona no matter what side of the law his character was on.
2004: Scott Pasfield/Retna Ltd./Corbis
ACTRESS: We first noticed her with Paul Newman in The Sting, then as Goldie Hawn's grumpy captain in 1980's Private Benjamin and Mrs. Peacock in Clue (1985). She was nearly killed by a passing car in 1982, and later survived breast cancer. Through it all, Brennan triumphed.
1982: Doug Pizac/AP Images
ACTRESS: She was our favorite bad girl: an acid-dropping hooker in Easy Rider (1969), Jack Nicholson's gal pal in Five Easy Pieces (1970) and Hitchcock's last villain in Family Plot (1976). Later she acted in various horror flicks, still offering her irresistible blend of street smarts and vulnerability.
1969: Susan Wood/Getty Images
ACTRESS: She earned an Oscar nomination for her first film role, in The Member of the Wedding (1952); and 11 Emmy nominations, including one for Knots Landing. But Harris, who also received 10 Tony nominations, was most at home onstage. The light were dimmed on Broadway when she died.
ACTRESS: We knew her long face and red hair as Bob Newhart's man-hungry receptionist, and her voice as Bart's teacher on The Simpsons. We didn't know of her childhood abuse, battle with breast cancer and longtime caring for her cancer-stricken husband. A good actress, she was a great person.

NOVELIST: Poor eyesight kept him out of Vietnam, but the gung-ho Cold Warrior gave the U.S. military star roles in blockbuster thrillers such as The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising. Famed for his insidery plots, Clancy once called it "spooky" that "I've made up stuff that's turned out to be real."
1992: Carlos Osorio/AP Images
NOVELIST: He was the author of Get Shorty, 3:10 to Yuma and Raylan, whose best-known character was the loan shark Chili Palmer. Leonard, who above all prized a narrator's invisibility, turned the crime thriller into art, and revolutionized how action and dialogue are captured on the page.
1992: Michael Brennan/Getty Image
ACTOR: His gentle charisma gave his
now-iconic character, violent mob boss Tony
Soprano, a fascinating complexity. In real life, says Sopranos costar Edie Falco, "He was kind and uniquely generous." His softer side shines in the posthumously released comedy Enough Said.
1999: Anthony Neste/File/HBO/AP Images
FOOTBALL PLAYER, SPORTSCASTER: After 10 years with the NFL, he become one of TV's most recognized sports announcers, known for his deep voice and concise analyses. When he died, fellow sportscaster John Madden said, "Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be."
1960: John Rooney/AP Images
WRITER: When told she'd won a Nobel Prize in 2007, she said, "I couldn't care less." Raised in Rhodesia, Lessing wrote sharply about race and gender, most famously in her seminal novel The Golden Notebook (1962). The Nobel committee praised her "skepticism, fire and visionary power."
c. 1950: Paul Popper/Popperfoto/Getty Images
ACTOR: "I will not be a common man," the Irish-born O'Toole wrote in his youth. "I will stir the smooth sands of monotony." And that he did: Known for his theatrical acting style (and hell-raising lifestyle), he created a forever-iconic movie character as the star of 1962's epic Lawrence of Arabia.
1990:David Montgomery/Getty Images
ACTRESS: Fontaine and her famous sister Olivia de Havilland's rivalry was notorious — exacerbated when Fontaine won an Oscar for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion (1941) the same year sis was nominated for Hold Back the Dawn. She also starred in Hitchcock's Rebecca in 1940 and Ivanhoe in 1952.

Portugal is just as sunny and beautiful as its neighbour, Spain. And just as the latter, it is an excellent holiday destination, but less overrun by tourists. Portugal is situated in southwestern Europe on the Atlantic and enjoys a mild, Mediterranean climate. Portugal is split in two by the Tagus river. The northern part of the country is mountainous, rather rainy and cool, while the south is plainer, warmer and drier.
FFaro, the capital of the Algarve region, is a charming student city in southern Portugal. Before heading for the beautiful beaches of the region, spend some time to discover Faro's historic old town full of terrace bars, the leisure marina, and well-maintained parks.
Lisbon is a living city with a rich history and a large number of monuments, churches and castles, which define the appearance of the city.
The world famous Port wine, the typical alleyways and the picturesque "zona ribeirinha" on the River Douro are all good reasons to visit Porto, and the city has even more to offer …

Share the post "Bye Bye Bully: Fairfax Learning Center's Anti-Bullying PSA"
Last September, we devoted an entire Local Show episode to bullying and hate. Since then, KCPT has been working behind the scenes with area schools to produce their own anti-bullying messages. This week, we feature the message produced by the Fairfax Learning Center, a high school in Kansas City, Kansas.

While RT progress, Sanchise degress...
While RT progress, Sanchise degress...
nyjunc??? Is this guy just another hater? Doesn't watch the games? Biased?
Come on and admit it. Just as I have been saying all along. Sanchez had never been good enough. They won in spite of him. That was okay as a 1st and 2nd player. It was not okay last year and it is not okay this year. The author doesn't even mention that even when he makes the right play, he is horribly inconsistent with accuracy. It is time for him to go. Only having a circus side-show backup is keeping him on the field.
Angry Deniers. A bunch of agenda-driven whiny clowns whose sole mission is to deny anything good that Tannehill has done and deny anything bad that the "gods of quarterbacks" have done.
This was the best part...The Jets insist that Mark Sanchez is still the answer. Maybe they don't fully understand the question, because right now the only question Mark Sanchez is the answer to is 'Which 4th year starting QB is still making mistakes that would embarrass a rookie?'
