I am sorry about your collision, injury and reason for joining Adelaide Cyclists.
On the AC group Look For Cyclists are links to Adelaide Cyclist discussions about reporting collisions. See http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/lookforcyclists/forum/topics/...
On the AC group Look For Cyclists are links to Adelaide Cyclist discussions about insurance. Some are about insuring a bicycle and some are about claiming for insurance after a bicycle is damaged. See http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/lookforcyclists/forum/topics/...
Please read these hints.
However, as you are seriously injured, it could be best to contact Tindall Gask Bentley Lawyers who advertise on AC. Check the hub page, right column, about halfway down. The first appointment might be free, and they will do a discount for AC members. Make sure you tell them you are with AC. In South Australia, if you are in the right and prove the driver was at fault, then you get your medical, property damage and legal fees reimbursed / paid. If a serious injury as you say, you can also claim for pain and suffering. Another reason I suggest a lawyer is if English is not your first language. Collisions and compensation can be difficult for anyone.
Thanks, Heather.
Baohong, I have added at http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/forum/topics/collisions-1 the following:
http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/forum/topics/bike-accidernt – 5-Apr-2012 on Pirie Street, intersection with Pulteney Street, Baohong Hou hit by car and seriously injured. On 19-Apr-2012 will undergo head surgery.
I would strongly advise engaging a solicitor who can then handle everything on your behalf including driver identification, obtaining the police report and sorting out relevant insurance issues. That leaves you free to concentrate on getting yourself better. Once you have a solicitor then I suggest that you should seek all future advice from them and try to refrain from engaging in public comment about your case on an open forum.
I wish you well with your surgery and recovery.
That's good idea, Gillian, I'm not sure if this could go through work-cover because it happened during my working time (going for an appointment). Thanks for your wishness (today is my birthday).
That's exactly the sort of thing that a solictor will sort out very quickly for you. Again, do not elaborate on line as an insurer will look for any excuse to reject your claim including possibly denying liability because a different insurer might be more liable. Hand-ball this to a solicitor ASAP.
Happy Birthday - if that is possible in the circumstances.
+1, spot on Gillian, focus on getting your body healed and let the Legal experts deal with all other issues!
This would be my No.1 advice to anyone in a collision, leave the stress to the experts, and get yourself sorted medically. Allianz seem to pay attention to the legal folks much more than joe citizen trying to handle the issues on their own!
Legal representation will organise police reports, records etc on your behalf and coordinate medical appointments etc...
All the best mate.
Keep all records of all letters, photos and hospital stay.
Also, keep your bike and say nothing more on Face book or any forum.
Keep a diary though from now on.
Good luck and hope it works out.
I hope the surgery goes smoothly.
I would agree that concentrating on the best medical outcome is important.
I would have thought that as you were involved in the accident you would have been expected to make some sort of report yourself this may not have happened yet if you have been in hospital.
Baohong, I agree with other cyclists. Omitted was to keep a record of all of your costs, including transport costs to medical appointments in the future.
Hope your birthday was good in 2 ways: joining Adelaide Cyclists and their friendly support; plus a successful surgery.

1st Review by Killer Motorsports Owner Mike Smith
For me to bring UTVs into my company and start selling them was a pretty . Awkward process. I knew we had been needing to get into the UTV side of the powersports business for years but no one ever could give me something that was impressive. Plus add to the fact that I personally drive a pimped out Yamaha 700 Rhino, the bar is set pretty high when I look at the Chinese stuff. The whole process got kicked off last year when a guy from Two Brothers Performance came by my both at the Indy Show and introduced himself. I didnt really pay attention because they were bringing in UTVs and I figured I had seen everything coming out of China. Finally around mid year of 08 I pulled his card out and found out his headquarters was about 30 minutes from my dealership, so I headed on over to check out there stuff. When I got there they had one of their 700cc UTVS waiting for me to take out for a spin. I looked over their UTV and asked if it was a modified Rhino since it looked almost identical to my personal Rhino. They said it was their 700 and I was honestly blown away. Their stock Rhino had features that were standard that I had to buy for my Rhino from Yamaha when I picked it up stock. Features like the center console, winch, roof, aluminum wheels, massive tires, etc. All the little things you dont really think you need that become a necessity after a while. I took it out and immediately took it straight to a ditch in the middle of the main road to see if the 4 wheel drive could get me out of the muck. Sure enough, the 4x4 lock did the trick and got me out. The guys were not so happy when I got back that they had a gross muddy test unit but Im sure they didnt care since I bought up some inventory from them that day. The next day I had my entire staff show up early and help put one of the 700s together so I could take off to Rocky Ridge in Decatur, Tx. I took off around lunch on Friday and by the time I got back the next Monday I had put that UTV through HELL! Mostly what I wanted to see is if I could break anything, see what upgrades our customers would want, see how everything would hold up, and I must say the UTV came back a champ! Nothing broke, no overheating, 4x4 worked awesome, tranny was solid, everything held up well and I had a great time testing out the unit. This unit is now EFI!!! Electronic Fuel Injection!!! A huge step up of power from the carb units! It does not rely on air to drive the power of the unit, but instead it has an electronic injector and directly injects the fuel straight into the intake that goes to the motor. No more changing jets at high altitude or cleaning a carb!! This is by far the best way to go and has way more direct drive power over the carb units!
2nd Review by Killer Motorsports Owner Mike Smith
"This UTV is one of kind and will ONLY be found at Killer Motorsports, if found anywhere else then its just an imitation and BEWARE!!! It has been said that I have designed some of the most innovative products in this industry but I have to say, this has been the coolest project I have worked on yet. We sell more UTVs than anyone in this industry and SOOO many of our customers were asking our staff if we had upgrades because they hunt. Finally our staff asked me to design a UTV that would be ready to roll for hunters. So then began the "Hunters Edition", it has everything short of a Deer GPS Finder, but maybe we'll do that next! I sat down with a bunch of different hunters and asked what are hunters biggest issues while hunting. I would hear things like, it's wet, cold, hard to store things, get stuck, etc. So in short, we replaced the factory tires with ITP SS Blacked Wheels w/ 27" Mudder Tires, a Full Camo Enclosure, Camo Double Gun Rack w/ Extra Storage Pouches, Interior above your head Camo Storage Pouch, Interior Heater, Mounted/Removable Spotlight, 6 Soda Camo Cooler Holder Pack, Front Storage Hood Rack, Rear Bed Cargo Net, Camo Seat Covers, and Camo Headrest Covers. Truly, the most complete Hunters Ready UTV ever conceived!!"
Everyone at our company is a rider with a passion for the sport. We have traveled around the globe to find and offer you the best products at great values. We are riders selling powersports products. We know what we are doing simply because we were all born and bread in this industry and are committed to selling you the right powersports vehicle for your needs and providing you with the best technical and parts support anywhere in the industry.
We are proud of our record for great products and service. Making you a regular customer is our goal. We have been in business nearly 7 years and are not going anywhere. We are a Texas Licensed Dealer (#P102360).
At our company the manufactures do not pick us, we pick them. We have strict requirements for our manufactures and how they service and support their products if they want us to sell. Being in business for over 7 years, being one of the largest in the industry, we have the ability to pick who we sell and set the terms for the arrangement. We ensure the manufactures meet our quality of expectations on service support, tech support, parts support, and dealer support. This is our requirement to be a flagship dealer so we can best support our customers in case our customers need anything. We have found this as set us apart from any other competitor in the market. The true ability to offer this type of support is not something of the norm. We also employee a 100% American staff who all speak fluent English as well and operate out of one of the largest dealerships located in Texas for our type of Industry. Most competitors are Chinese owned and not American owned like our company. Alot of competitors work out of a small shop and simply do not have the ability to offer the type of support we can offer because of our relationships with our manufactures.
We have the lowest prices GUARANTEED!! We search the web every day to make sure we are the best price and value for our customers!
Here is the deal: We will MATCH or BEAT anyones advertised on-line price, anywhere, GUARANTEED on all powersports vehicles we sell! Here is a better deal: We offer FREE shipping to your door for nearly every order over $99 Dollars! Here is an even better deal: You pay no tax if you live outside of Texas.
If you would like to pick up locally we can give you cheaper pricing! All our pricing has shipping built in the prices to ensure you get the lowest online price, however, if you pick up and we don't have to ship the unit, we'll get you an even CHEAPER price!
Worried about getting parts for your unit? Most companies do NOT offer any parts, if they do, they have to order it from the manufacture, wait for it to get to them, then ship it to you. This could take up to two weeks! We are WAY different, we STOCK the manufacture OEM parts, over 2000 parts!! We stock original replacement parts and also offer tons of aftermarket parts as well! If you break something or want to upgrade you will have peace of mind knowing we'll be shipping that part the next day. No other Online Dealership does this!!!

A99 price drops to $2,550 at BigValue…
The A99 price dropped down to $2,550 at BigValue (on eBay). That's now $250 less than the regular price. Still not a huge price drop like we had on the Nikon FF cameras but we are getting there…slowly
Small price drops are also ongoing at Wex and eBay Europe. I think another $200-300 price drop would help Sony to significantly increase the camera sales. But that's of course just a instinct based opinion. Sony will know it better what they need to push the camera sales.
Some A99 news: A99 review at Digitalcamerareview. A99 First Impressions at Echenique.
Of Course – More Sony Price Drops to Follow We're sure.
I can't imagine how many sales SONY lost due to their ridulous over pricing.
Sony's problem is the Arrogance.
They are over valuing themselves.
SONY poor judgement is out of control.The Only A99s that have been sold are to ALREADY
Sony FF users who were force to upgrade.What a Shame. If they only had the
36mp sensor in a99
Higher Continuous Frames per secondThey could justify the pricing and may have converted Canikon FF users to become
New – FF Sony platform users
"The Only A99s that have been sold are to ALREADY
Sony FF users who were force to upgrade."I don't feel forced to upgrade. If anything, I feel forced NOT to upgrade, by Sony releasing a product so close in performance to the product I already have.
Too late… there's still a long way to go.. until the price comes below $2.000. Any price higher than this is only arrogance and I have no intention to pay for this silly marketing over-valuation.
great image quality
low noise to 1600, even 800 -
I can pay $550 for it.
More seriously, I do think the Sony A900 + Samyang 24mm 1.4 would be a very neat combi
Re: bigvalueinc – These guys look so much like one of those pressure house sales Accessory and Extended Grey market retailers..
Give away .. "Please contact us for more information about product warranty."
Also many Neutral feedback entry's state "No Warranty card in the box"
If you total their Neutral and Negative feed back it is almost 10% of the orders in the last 30 days..
To many red flags here to be constantly referring them as a low price reference..
I do wish Admin would only post links to prices in reputable shops like the WEX one. In particular stop posting links to eBay sellers!
Totally agree. sonyalpharumors.com needs to stop posting potential problem dealers on its site. The price drops from these seller do NOT count! Any person has half of a brain won't buy from these seller. These kinds of posts makes this site look very unprofessional and very irresponsible to its readers.
It's all about making money in the end.
Amen! It is still far from D800 price in Europe! And it should be close to D600. It costs Sony less to make this camera than Nikon has to spend on making D600.
Don't forget new flash price, and at least two additional batteries you have to buy to get same number of shots like with normal DSLR. And if you would like charge those batteris as fast as one from Nikon or Canon than two additional charges LOL. Then you have to carry all those things, but yes you have save 100grams from camera weight
"It costs Sony less to make this camera than Nikon has to spend on making D600."
Care to back up that statement?-
SLT cheaper than mirror box OVF… and they gets sensors cheaper too. Only reason Nikon cheaper is because of back door deal selling them sensors.
Nikon: "We'll purchase 50,000 sensors every month. But you gotta keep prices and noise levels higher than ours. And you can't use your best sensor in your own cameras".
Sony: "M'kay deal!"
"SLT cheaper than mirror box OVF… and they gets sensors cheaper too."
That is not backing up anything, it's just another lonely statement. You also forget that there are other things in the camera besides the sensor and the VF.-
funny!, sad also
Ignore the idiots who insist on comparing the A99 to the D600. They are clueless newbies.
Frank, SonyAlphaRumors has even played up the comparison between the two cameras. People can argue until they're blue in the face that the A99 and D600 shouldn't be compared, but the fact of the matter is that they are being compared by pros and amateurs. http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sony-a99-vs-d600-by-digitalrev/
I'm so sick of hearing people talk down the Sony over PRICE.
Whiny Sony fans are causing so much trouble over this….this is an EXCELLENT price for what you get. Quit trying to compare it to the D600, compare it in it's OWN class.
So many people started this RIDICULOUS idea that the a99 wasn't selling well, that was never the case. Expecting it to jump into the ranks on Amazon was just dumb. This is not the a55 from two years ago…it's not the NEX-5 from last year……
In the category of FULL FRAME professional camera, you can't just make a great camera and start selling millions, because pretty much your ENTIRE target audience already has lenses for ANOTHER MOUNT.
Sony is right on track…making a great camera and selling it as a fair price…..their goal is not to sell a million, just to get Sony users an excellent FF camera.
PLEASE!!!!! shut up about the price! If you don't want to pay what the a99 is worth, buy the a77. High End Photography is expensive.
You are so wrong here I guess you have bought this overpriced cameras and now you try to protect your wrong decision. Have you seen David Kilpatrick review? He owns this camera and few more FF. He says A99 should be 30-50% less. In Europe it is 700$ more than D800, almost 2x D600 and 3x A77 price. LOL. I can't stop laughing thinking about this pricing. I have heard (online) about one person in my country that have bought this camera LOL. I'm serious now, one person in one quite big (but poor) European country.
Have you seen all Cons from DK review? It is nice camera with LV but it doesn't have anything special from pro or semi pro DSLR camera class. While I would enjoy A99 more than D800 I fell D800 is real bargain if it is 700$ less than A99. I would buy A99 if it was 700$ less than D800. It is not and I give Sony month, maybe two before jumping to Nikon FF system.
Actually, you are quite wrong. I can show you other reviews, which say that the A99 is great for its price. (there admittedly is some problem with the European pricing though, it is even worse with the RX1)
Also, price is not defined by production costs, but by demand. If the A99 is 3 times the price of the A77, it just shows how great of a bargain the A77 is. Same goes for the D7000, by the way, which is also 1/3 of the price of the D800.-
Care to share some reputable reviewers that says a99 are great FOR its price?
I read some famous photographers talking great stuff bout a99, but none of them saying that a99 is great for its price, a.k.a a99 should've been priced higher than the current price tag considering its performance and features.
I agree it has some nice features, for video?!,but performance and sensor quality? Man, I canceled my purchase plan on this one. Was on a high hope, but now I see.
Any favorable review implies that the price is justified, unless specified otherwise. I could point you to DPR (I'd say they are reputable) whose overall score includes the metric Value. The A99 is right up there with the best. Even if you look at the Value metric separately, then it is better rated than both the D800 and 5D3. That says it all.
I am also not sure which performance or sensor issues you are referring to.
DAVE SORRY TO HEAR you re disappointed you lost money.
So Relax on the Price, Forget it.BUT here is much worse news
SONY A99 Sensor Rating Tested extremely poorly on the
DxOMark Sensor Scores RATINGSSONY begged for it to be pulled back to Preview so
SONY could try to tune it up and push out a
quick and dirty firmware updates to address it.Here are DXO Mark Rankings
SONY A99 = 89 – far belowSONY A77 = 78 Cropped APS-C
Clearly the Sony A99 Processor is screwing up BAD,
because it commonly known the a99 sensor is
the very same as the Nikon D600The SONY A99 processing engine is clearly the culprit.
We all knew what poor job it did on many issues and Jpeg noiseHERE IS THE LINK http://www.dxomark.com/
How to you know Sony begged? You work for Sony? Or you are just speaking for it? As I read the comment, many ppl are, like, complaining DxO test is inaccurate. One comment said DxO is accusing the sensor causing CA. I didn't read the full article, but if they really say so, their creditibility is highly in doubt.
Being a Sony user… It's extremely sad for me to see wins after wins for Nikons using Sony sensors.
No wonder that the ridiculous A99 price is coming down.
I don't see how Nikon wins. Look at Dpreview.
D600 is not par plus many dirt/oil problem, and A99 definitely beat D800 at high ISO. Let alone the PDAF and video functions. No other brand camera can match A99 videos now. And also ppl keep talking about 36mp of D800 and I really don't know why? Sony for this idea because of the high Iso noise. It is true that for 36 mp, IQ is better at controlled light condition, but is it 50% better in IQ compare to pixel count? I don't think so. I think Sony is in right direction because slt that in favor to video is more useful than higher IQ IMHO nowadays. At least in real life print quality. Remember the days that ppl are using 16 mp for pro equipment? I believe you can't really tell the differences by eyes when you print a 8×10 between 16 mp and 36 mp.
That DxO score is not poor. You look a bit illogical with that statement putting less credence to your other statements. The DxO scores put the 99 in the top 10 of cameras. It will place it ahead of any canon model. Even their $6k model by your view would be considered crap. According to you you would prefer the 600 over the 4D. That is the camera I want despite according to you having a terrible DxO score. If one thinks it is too expensive for them then just don't buy it and just walk away. Unless the 600 has fixed its dusting and oil issue I wouldn't buy it for any amount if I am cleaning the sensor every 2 weeks. Despite its terrible DxO score I like the MK3. However, I want the immensely, ridiculously overpriced terrible DxO scored Nikon D4. Until then I will use my 850 and 99. I love them both but the 850 only gets used as a 2nd body.-
Now, now, don't you be bringing things like logic and common-sense into here, it's not welcome…
"their goal is not to sell a million, just to get Sony users an excellent FF camera."
Nope, their goal it to sell as many as possible. This is a business not a friendship.
Their goal is to meet their INTERNAL UNPUBLISHED SALES TARGET.
People can p1ss and moan all they like about web sales rankings, but if the A99 meets the Sony internal sales target, then it has been a success. It is THAT simple.
I'm ready to place an order at $2,298. Just waiting it out.
Of course I am going to compare the A99 to the D600. Sony sold the sensor to Nikon and Nikon built a full frame camera around it. Nikon also gets better ISO performance and dynamic range from the same sensor. Nikon paid more this sensor by buying it from Sony whereas Sony gets it from themselves . . . yet, the D600 is being offered for $1,500 (once you sell the kit lens) and the features that the A99 has are very cheap to add over what the D600 offers. I can find a replacement touch screen for under $20 for an iPhone, so the touch screen on the A99 is probably costing Sony $10 or so. Sony is vastly overcharging on the A99. I am in the market for a full frame camera and the A99 and D600 are on my list . . . but the Sony won't be my choice unless the price comes down to around $2,000 ($2,199 tops).
My reply was supposed to be to Dave Melges.
How do you know A99 is made cheaper than D600? Are you the manufacture? There are lots of other functions in a camera besides the sensor such as the focus system, the IBIS, the video capability, the EVF, the weather resistance body, GPS, the SLT mirror and coating, etc….also, in terms of many other functions that implies the R&D cost for the programmer and hardware engineer. So, please stop telling about the price unless you have the info of the cost. The list price is $2800 that includes the profit for selling the camera but I bet you will never know the profit margin for the company. That said, the PM may be the same between Nikon and Sony.
Of course, as a consumer, the cheaper the product is, the better.
At last, A99 has more innovations than many others, I expect the R&D cost more unlike others who just throw in a better sensor with a minor tune up on the processor chip and without any big changes. -
Touchscreen? Is that so? I did not know?
Heh, I have a touch screen on my NEX 5N and I think I must have assumed that Sony got it right on the A99, but I am not seeing that the A99 has a touch screen. So, that's another knock against it. Though, the LCD does articulate very well. No touch, dang.
Touchscreen? Go back to your compact.
Frank, why? I am using an RX1 and I miss the touchscreen that I get with my NEX 5N. I can tap on the 5N screen and have it focus where I tap. When shooting at f/2, for example, focusing and recomposing is not always effective . . . but touch to set the focus point is effective (and much faster than flexible spot focus on many FF cameras). I'd prefer to have Sony lead the pack on FF cameras in this regard. I realize you want to live in a snobbish world where the most effective way to shoot photography isn't necessarily what you prefer (probably because the tools you use require you to be more cumbersome), but displaying your ignorance publicly here does not make your opinion any more compelling. Cheers!
Thank you for standing up….
This site has a very small hand full of posters that routinely tell others to leave the site and/or tell them to buy something else. It's sad to see people become so obsessed with their choices and fell compelled to jump into a thread and attack even in a small-way others for having a different opinion. -
It is supposed to be No Touch Screen for those camera with viewfinder. I prefer to use the EVF most of the time if there is one offer on the camera like Nex-6. So, in that case, the Touch screen is no use at all, in fact it may interfere if your nose/face touched the screen when using the EVF.
Anyways, touch screen is not vital for me. I don't care if the camera don't have it. I buy the camera mostly for quality pictures and/or video. Touch screen is just a gadget for convenience. (For camera)
If I like to be lazy, I would use my iPhone.
"Nikon paid more this sensor by buying it from Sony whereas Sony gets it from themselves"
It doesn't work exactly like this, you know. These are separate divisions and they have to make their own profits.
Onto the D600, I am not sure how the features of the A99 are cheaper? Is a full frame in-body stabilization system cheap? Is a second AF system cheap? In the end, I would buy the A99 over the D600 any day. It has way more features that will serve my type of photography. Heck, I would buy it only for the swivel LCD and the live histogram in the EVF.-
Its $2418 in Australia (body only).
that's according to shopbot.com.au
$2330 AUD from T-Dimension.
The T Dimension price is ex-GST [in Aus] which you would have to pay ontop of the $2330
I love my a99, people that think its over priced are crazy. Id put my a99 against your d600 anyday.
I love the A99 as well, but I am not seeing a reason to pay $1,300 more to get it when there are clear advantages on the D600 (e.g., lower noise at higher ISOs and more dynamic range). The A99 is most disappointing to me compared to the 5D Mark III with regard to AF. The D600 has 39 AF points to the 19 on the A99 (though, both are disappointing clustered in the center). There are things that I really like about the A99 (e.g., the articulating LCD), but I just don't see how someone not already invested in Sony/Minolta can justify spending so much more to get an A99 over a D600, for example.
I believe you are using DXOmark scores for your claim. While normally I would even argue the questionable ISO score, I'll leave it aside. Are you seriously saying that 0.2 stops of dynamic range are a "clear advantage"? You can't even see that! The AF of the 5D3 is apparently great, but then back to your DXO, but then the A99 actually has a clear advantage in DR.
You compare different functions of the same camera, to the same functions in different cameras. Doesn't make much sense. Also, what is the goal of your comparison? Higher score at DXOmark? -
I have both the 5d3 and the a99 and I can say that the Sony looks better than it noise wise. The canon just looks weird. Take it from me, someone who owns both. The Sony kicks its butt. I think most of the reviews that put the a99 lower than canikon are bias. Use both then talk. I dont care about wierd scores and reviews by nutt jobs, the a99 is one of the best ff cameras out there. When you look through the viewfinder you know exactly what your going to get in the photo.
Yes, who wouldn't want a Sony a99 with EVF battery drain when you can look through the Vf of the d600 all dsy and night for free? Who wants that? Good point, I shall buy an a99 because I have alot of money to burn on the camera and batteries, seeing as how energy is free these days.
Go buy a disposable camera or use film, they are battery-free. Lol.
People are commending @ bigvalueinc is corrected and I am betting on Sony A99 for $1995 in a year ahead within US Retail not for Grey Market… :-d
Yeah you are right. It will drop to $999 later……… when the next replacement flagship release…..lol
I can accept what you're saying, but I still have trouble with nearly equal image quality cameras being priced so far apart. I'd plan to get the Sigma 35/1.4 and a fast 50 and that's it for quite a while. I don't think in body stabilization does much at 35 and 50 it might help some. Another person might gain much benefit from having that feature, no doubt. I would prefer the A99 for the articulating LCD but I just can't justify spending SO much more to get it. Dang!
how's your d600?
Throw in a free XLR adapter…
or, knock $500 off and make iISO adapter optional.
You know that little plastic flash adapter is what drives the price up so high. -
Price drop? Why would you even thin about buying something this expensive from a seller has 9% negative feedback in the last 30 days???!!! Go with Amazon, B&H, Adoroma and some other big shops when you buy expensive cameras.
anybody can tell me?
from the digitalcamera review, it says " Many photographers still like using the center focusing point and recomposing; and this camera seems to have been designed to do that partially with AF-D. "Does it mean, he set the camera to spot, enable Object Tracking w/ shutter, set to AF-D ?
Does this really help in the "recomposing" method? -
Now that I have one, I too believe a99 is overpriced. To sell more of this camera Sony MUST fix shutter lag, get a decent flash adapter that LOCKS on the camera body, fix the sync speed with wireless transmitters from 1/160th to the advertised 1/250th and get it to work a little more responsive. A850/900 feels like a rocket in comparison. Double Bionz processor wouldn't hurt for the 3K Sony wants for a99. AF area coverage is a joke. I can work with it, but make no mistake it's not there with the big boys. The price should be lower.
I also purchased an A99 with high hopes – I am a current A900 user – and sent it back within a week. The camera is, as you say, not ready for prime time.The shutter is a mess, there is a lag between the AF confirm beep and the visual confirm box (unacceptable) and I had a couple of random lock-ups. I thought maybe the A99 just performs similar to the A77 so I gave the A77 a spin and felt it was much more responsive – still not as fast as an A900 but much better.
IMHO – this camera needs a major firmware update before I will even look at it again. Good luck with yours.
My flash adapter locks on the camera just fine and I have no problem syncing at 1/250 with my trigger/heads. Sure I'd like the AF spaced out a bit more, but at least the outer points work better than my a850 in less than optimal light. For me its a moot point anyway as DMF and peaking make it easy and quick to focus anywhere in the frame.
Are you using infrared or radio?
I'm willing to try thea99 if I can use it with the studio lighting systems I'm a partner in that uses radio triggers.
I bought the A99 the day it came into my local camera shop. I wondered if it would outshine my A77 enough for me to get over the steep price and I honestly believe the results i'm getting are AWESOME! I haven't really used my A77 since (except as a 2nd video camera) because I want the best image I can get, so I use the A99 instead.
I asked in another post for Andrea to put a voting poll up for people to vote on what they thought the A99 should be priced at. I would still be curious to see the results.
The A99 isn't perfect, but I think it's a solid camera that is giving me great image results. My one peeve with it right now would be it's video ability. I know the panasonic GH2 is considered very good in the video world. I would love the A99 to have that level of video ability. At the moment, I'm tempted to sell my A77 and pick up a cheap GH2 for video. but that's just another camera to carry around – i wish the a99 video was better so I could just use that only.
Btw – what's the going price on 'dust-free' and 'oil-free' these days? I would be pissed if I owned a D600 and had to deal with that constantly. I agree the price on the A99 should probably be less, but I would pay more to avoid that issue.
How much was A900 at Sony store when it was released?
I can buy a demo unit D600 + kit lens and nothing else for $1150. Beat that.
Even adding two batteries and other accessories from eBay + getting sensor/sensor professionally cleaned it would be a impossible deal to beat.
I can buy a Sony RX100 that fits in my pocket for half of that price.
LMFAO, nice come back.
Have fun cleaning the sensor every 2 days won't you. Do any kind of DR recovery on D600 images and you'll have 400 dust bunnies to clone out. Fun times!!
People said exactly the same thing about the A77 when it came out just over 12 months ago. I just bought one brand new for $799. The A99 will come down, buy it at the price that suits you, or buy an A77 which for its current price is an absolute bargain.
Mdb, where you get a77 for this 799 and what money type is that? Euros?
Thank you.-
Australian Dollars. Website is http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au – it was their deal of the day, they are a reasonably respected grey importer here in Aus and they had the A77 kit with 16-50mm SSM for $1249 AUD as well. Not sure if it is their current deal (was a couple of hours ago). Considering the body only is $1699 here it is a pretty good deal. It was on their site at a 'normal' price before the 'deal of the day' at $879.
@OneTrackMind Considering that this Sony FF has been designed prioritising video over stills and a FF prioritising stills was being released in mid 2013 but is now cancelled, do you believe that Sony have failed with the A99?
In my opinion, it is failed.
1. Bad release date, when 6D and D600 are released just before it.
In reversed you could say canikon screwed sony up on this.
No matter how you deny it, people will compare them.2. Focus on video yet failure to deliver what consumers really want.
And to follow up they cancel the camera that is focused on still… gosh.3. Price, totally over priced.
If sony store could do a99 + free 32″ TV @ US$2799 on black friday, i just have to believe there have sooooo much more price drop to go.As much features a99 could have, that being the only FF camera choice is not a choice at all and to make it worse at a wrong price point.
I have to make it clear that Sony has lost 80% of the battle of full frame to 6D and D600 currently and much of it was due to their own failure.-
I understand A99 pricing over Europe is way off and need some price drop for sure, but here in Australia it is actually very well price comparing to D800 and 5 D Mk 3 and worth the extra for over D600.
For genuine stock( not including online or grey) A99 is selling as low as $2549 body only at the moment in one of the major camera shops in Australia, and that is the cheapest price for any Australian Local shops, cheapest D800 is $3146 and cheapest 5D MK 3 is selling for $3416. If you want to compare to the pricing of D800 and 5D MK 3, A99 is a great price.
The cheapest D 600 is selling at $2246 cheapest at the moment in any Austrian major shops, I think for this $300 pice, it is well worth the price and here is I think why:
1. The D600 has this dusty sensor issue which as far as I know Nikon haven't said any thing yet and you might end up paying more more to fix or you need to spend more time to clean it your self. Until Nikon official offer a saying and fix this issue, doesn't matter how good this camera may be it is a critical issue to their produce and ignorance is unacceptable for a reputable manufacture like Nikon. In my opinion, I will pay $1000 more for A99 if this is the case just because it does not have this issue.
2. The know green colour issue in the Nikon cameras, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Nikon said much on this either.
3. A99 has faster live view + focus peaking + better DOF preview + zoom in mode in EVF for precise MF ( well EVF vs OVF is matter of taste and personal preference, I don't mind either) and a tilt screen, 1/8000 max shutter, more video features, and the SLT nature makes it easier to get the exposure right when shooting compare to DSLRs and you can see the "after" results in the camera before you shoot…. etc
4.Since when DXO score indicate whether a camera is a good one of bad one? I don't see my Canon friends yelling and say they have a bad camera when they see the low DXO score and jump ship? Talking about 5 D Mk 3 vs D800 real life low light performance here, that does not reflect DXO score at all. And to be honest I do no see DXO mark is really reflecting real life results any way, other wise how can A55 has a better ISO DXO score has worse real life performance than A57? And so as A77 has a same sensor yet higher score than A65 and better yet than A57 but both does worse in low light? And don't forget the instrumental/measuring error range. We need to look at A99 vs D600 in real life here, and considering A99 has a semi-transluscent mirror in front of the sensor and on sensor second AF system the touch lower IQ comparing to D600 is actually quiet impressive, indicating Sony's image processing technology is pretty par with Nikon now.
5. Honestly does really matter that much if A99 is a touch worse than D600 in high ISO and when DXO says it is a touch worse in DR and colour depth? I don't think when we zoom in 100% and look at the photos we took and it comes out a touch worse than D600 make A99 a crap camera, either does that make A99 a camera with bad performance. Yes I understand Sony should lower the price coz of lower IQ than D600, but should Canon lower the price of 5 D Mk 3 when the 6 D is a touch better in high ISO performance? Or Should Sony sell A65 lower than A57 of the same reason? Manufacture sell camera because of its whole package not just IQ, different camera are aimed at different users and for difference use and of course the demand and well. A99 sells more because it has more the features and I think Sony intend to aim it against the 5D MK 3 and D800.
6. How much will you spend if you jump to a different system doesn't matter you have FF or APSC cameras,and is it worth it? Yes Sony's lenses are not as many and may not be cheaper ( but for those lens Sony have at the moment does that mean they are worse, I don't think so, but yes many does need the up grade and renew for sure) but honestly is that really necessary? Is A99 or any Sony cameras don't fit any of our requirements? For me jump ship is always more troublesome, unless if one day Sony ditch A mount completely or really doesn't care about us photographers.
I guess it is good to see Sony lower than price for any of their cameras especially for regions that clearly has the higher price than the competition, in the end, a camera is tool for us photographers to take pictures, if it does the job well, then goes for it, doesn't matter what brand it is. What does matter is whether the camera can help us to achieve the result we want or not, and for that reason, I don't hear my Canon Nikon friends complaining to me when they upgraded their D7000/ D5100, 60D, 550D etc to 5 D Mk3 , D800, because when you find something works and does better job for what you require, you will get it, because it is need.
I took the opportunity from a EU sony store feedback request to give one suggestion:
SLASH the PRICES
The problem is:
Canon takes the two year old 60D, puts a larger sensor, larger mirrorbox, larger viewfinder, wireless capability and sadly throws away the wonderfully hinged LCD Screen and the pop-up flash. The CPU is the same, AF is not that different, build quality is similar etc. They jack the price from 1000$(800$ with rebate at the moment) to 2100$.
Nikon takes the two year old D7000, puts a larger sensor, larger mirrorbox, larger viewfinder and calls it a day. The CPU is the same, AF is the same, build quality is the same. They jack the price from 1200$(900$ with rebate at the moment) to 2100$. I'm not counting the stupidly logical bundle pack with the 24-85 lens in.
Sony takes the one year old A77, puts a larger sensor(with PDAF on chip) and a new silent controller. Throws away the pop-up flash and upgrades the firmware. The CPU is the same, AF is the same apart from the one which came with the sensor, build quality is the same. They jack the price from 1400$(1100$ with rebate at the moment) to 2800$
To sum up:
Nikon asks for 1200$ extra for a larger sensor+mirror+viewfinder.
Canon asks for 1300$ extra for a larger sensor+mirror+viewfinder.
Sony asks for 1700$ extra for a larger sensor and a firmware upgrade.And they've said that EVFs help them manage to keep the costs down
@George Evans.
It's hard for me to consider the A99 a 'fail' based on the images I'm getting from it. I bought the A99 for stills and use it for that about 95% of the time – I considered the video aspect to be a nice bonus feature.
I don't know that I completely agree that the A99 prioritizes video over stills. I haven't read that anywhere. Are you referring to that interview with some Sony people about why they didn't use the 36MP sensor – b/c it wasn't ready for video purposes too (or something like that)? I actually thought that answer was a little bit of a dodge. I actually think part of the answer lies in the exclusivity contract with Nikon. Nikon probably has/had some language which might have prevented Sony from putting it in the A99. I have no proof of this, so it's merely conjecture on my part.
I think the Panasonic GH2 and (from what I've heard, the GH3) prioritize video over stills IQ. But if the A99 didn't have a video function at all, then I still think it's a very good stills camera. I mentioned this a while back, but do people fault the 5D MkII for having video? I think most people consider that a very good stills shooter, but does its crossover use as videocamera mean that its picture taking is compromised? I think Sony MARKETED the video aspect of the A99 more than maybe other cameras do, but I believe that was Sony trying to grab marketshare from the 5D MkII/MkIII video shooting crowd and also a way to show a point of difference from the Canikon world.
From what I've read across other sites, people have been critical of many FF DLRS for being a little soft/mushy in video. Hopefully this is something that could be fixed by a firmware update to the codec. I was wondering if anybody's tried the a99 with a Ninja 2 to see if the uncompressed video is more crisp?
I am a little bummed that Sony is foregoing the stills-only camera that was discussed. But from my experience in product design and development, sometimes you're going down a road with a certain technology but then a new one becomes available and it shifts your mindset. So if this 'delay' in their new camera helps to produce an amazing product by the end of 2013/14 – then I'm Ok waiting an extra 6months for it. In the meantime I'll continue to love my A99 (and try to figure out what to do with my A77 – haha)
what if sony comes out with this AMAZING camera that meets everyone's stills criteria (except maybe for the OVF crowd) and -oh, by the way- it's got video too? Are people gonna be upset about that too? I don't look at that red 'HAL' button on the back of my camera as a compromise – but that's just me.
Under US pricing, if it weren't for the 6D and D600, the A99 would be seen as reasonably priced. Just because the D600 uses the same sensor doesn't make it the same "quality" to justify its price point. The Nikon D3x is a similar 24.5 vs 24.3mp. How overpriced compared to their lowly D800. Let's not even talk about the paltry 16mp of the D4. The talk of comparing the A99′s one processor vs. A900′s 2 makes little difference to me. It looks like the 5Diii and D800 are single as well. So what gives? $200 under a D800 and $700 under the 5Diii seemed like appropriate initial pricing. Now Canon sees that they are overpriced a bit, and the sensor dust issue combined with a near worthless slow 24-85mm lens made for a really slow selling kit. They had to slash prices to clear the shelves, and I have no proof but believe it has to do with finances. New car dealerships have floorplan financing where they don't pay interest for 90 days. Guess what. The D600 has just been out for 90 days, and the sellers just might be trying to clear out the bulk of old age units before they pay monthly interest on a big stash. If you want a smokin deal, get a D600.
So let me sum it up for you in simple terms… why the hell would anyone pay 3 grand for a Sony when they can get the same thing for 2 grand? Sony is still playing Minoltas game, which is to release similar equipment to Canikon and charge more. It worked so well they where bought out by sony. Ah,Minolta…only from the mind of Minolta. Still interloping over at Sony.
But they aren't getting the same thing. Apple and oranges.
Based upon the above posts, sounds like the vast majority of Sony photographers have written off the a99 as a big fail. Sad.
Is not the price that is equal to a D800E here in Canada that bothers me so much, as the fact that 24MP, 6 FPS and other specs are not so spectacular as to justify $3000. The current specs do not warrant an upgrade; not for the price asked. I agree is grossly overpriced, particularly for a camera system that might die next year (in three short days). Nikon offers affordable and plenty of alternatives now. Canon is overpriced as well.
Getting there…
$1799.00 and MAYBE I will get one… -
Wait till it drops to $2400, I'll going to lay my hand on it.
Just have tight budget right now -
Its true the a99 IMO is a glorified a77. You just can't use the same CPU, EVF and slow the FPS down, eliminate the pop up flash and jack the price 100%. Maybe, maybe if it had a class leading 32mp sensor. But seriously, 1400 more and Sony thinks its not competing with its aps-c cameras. Think again, because it is. I love my a77 but with sonys christmas sales I could buy 2 a77 bodies and have over 700 dollars left toward a lens rather than the a99. And its fugly. Imwant a GF but maybe a used a900 is a better deal. Drop a CLASS leading 32mp sensor and we'll talk.

IP Boutique Co-Founder Moves to KilpatrickDaily Report 2012-12-13 19:05:49.0 Tina McKeon has left the intellectual property boutique she helped found for Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton. As a result, McKeon Meunier Carlin & Curfman, which McKeon launched in spring 2010, is now Meunier Carlin & Curfman. "It's difficult to leave something that you started and put your heart and soul into, but I found that the practice I have would benefit from the depth and infrastructure a large firm can offer," said McKeon, who joined Kilpatrick as a partner last week. McKeon focuses her patent prosecution and counseling work on life sciences and brings a team of five with her. Three patent agents, Kimberlynn Davis, Lizette Fernandez and Tiffany Thomas, who like McKeon have Ph.D. degrees, will join on Monday, along with a paralegal, Joey Ward, and an assistant, Christy Rutherford. McKeon declined to name clients, saying they are still in transition. She said she works with a mix of large companies, startups, universities and research institutions. Although McKeon has practiced patent law since 1996, she said she's never worked in a general practice firm until now. She was a partner at Fish & Richardson, a national IP boutique, before starting McKeon Meunier Carlin & Curfman 2 1/2 years ago with another Fish & Richardson partner, Andrew Meunier. Christopher Curfman from Ballard Spahr and Gregory Carlin, who had been IP counsel at Edwards Lifesciences in Irvine, Calif., are the other two principals. McKeon joined Fish & Richardson in 2006 from a local IP boutique, Needle & Rosenberg, which became part of Philadelphia-based general practice firm Ballard Spahr in 2008. She cited Kilpatrick's "strong IP group and strong reputation both nationally and internationally" and said she was friends with a number of Kilpatrick lawyers, including Jamie Graham, who is the co-leader of Kilpatrick's health and life sciences team, John McDonald and Virginia Taylor, along with John Pratt, who chairs the firm's IP practice, and James Ewing IV. "It was not a hard choice," said McKeon. Graham said in a statement that McKeon's "well-established reputation within the biotechnology community and her extensive background in highly complex research and litigation" will add to Kilpatrick's "deep bench of biotechnology expertise in Atlanta and across the firm." About 300 of Kilpatrick's roughly 625 lawyers are IP practitioners. McKeon is the chair-elect of the State Bar of Georgia's intellectual property section and serves on the boards of Georgia Bio and Southeast BIO. She said Meunier Carlin & Curfman "has an important role in the community and they'll do well." Joining a large firm will allow her to focus on her practice, instead of administration, she said, noting that using several patent agents in her practice allows her to "provide patent services at a reasonable rate," even at a larger firm. "One thing I hoped to accomplish with this move is to focus on my clients and client service. That's what I'm good at and what's important to me. It's absolutely fine with me to have someone else make sure the lights are kept on," McKeon said. Meunier Carlin & Curfman has grown from five lawyers to 12 since its inception, making it one of the largest IP boutiques in Atlanta. Anthony Askew and Stephen Schaetzel joined the firm as partners from King & Spalding last year, adding litigation capabilities to the firm's patent prosecution and counseling practice. "We wish Tina well," said Schaetzel. "We're fortunate that our practice is continuing to grow," he said, noting that the firm has added five lawyers since he joined. With patent agents, a scientific adviser and other staff, the firm employs about 30 people. Meunier said the firm handles the full range of IP law, including trademarks and litigation. "We're looking to hire two more attorneys. We're in a growth phase," he said. Askew attributed the firm's growth to experienced lawyers with a high level of expertise and a "reasonable billing rate structure." Askew and Schaetzel are representing the state of Georgia in a long-running copyright infringement suit brought by a group of academic publishers against Georgia State University in 2008 over the posting of textbook excerpts on its online reserve system for student use. The publishers are appealing the case after a federal judge awarded GSU almost $3 million in legal fees and expenses. |

Oh Baby! Pure Baby Organic Gift Set
My friends recently celebrated the birth of their beautiful baby boy, Jonathan. Since I work for a gifting company, you'd think choosing a gift would be a no brainer. Not so. For a week after the birth, I contemplated the overwhelming possibilities. There are pampering gifts for mom and baby, night lights to help soothe baby to sleep, gift baskets full of practical items like baby lotion and shampoo, organic blankets and stuffed animals. I felt lost in a sea of "baby" and I'm sure other well meaning gift givers can relate.
My friends are new parents, so I wanted to get them something somewhat practical. However, because I let procrastination get the best of me, I was sure they would already be stocked with the usual shampoo, powders and lotions.
I finally selected a gift that I had considered from the very beginning. GiftTree's Pure Baby Organic Gift Set is pure bliss. For baby, GiftTree includes a cozy receiving blanket, a stuffed bunny, pediatrician tested, no tears baby bathcare and an adorable kimono shirt. My friends also really enjoyed relaxing with the included green tea. Best of all, everything is 100% certified organic.
The gift was a hit and the next time someone I know has a baby, I will order this gift again without delay. Finally, no more belated new baby gifts from me!

Myths not debunked but confirmed
Posted Jan 29, 2013 20:37 UTC (Tue) by k8to (subscriber, #15413) [Link]
The victims here are sysadmins who have to deal with a variety of systems who a new thing dumped on them.
Pro: systemd might be better for the subset of systems that use it
Con: most systems don't use it
Sysadmins have many things to learn and accomplish and not welcoming this relatively useless (to them) change is not a sign of incompetence but rather sanity.
That doesn't mean that they should get to dictate how the systems are architected, but they are the ones who get dumped on by this particular set of changes.
So yes, you were blaming the victims. Don't do that.

And besides, most systems don't use SysVinit either, and even those who do often bear no resemblance to each other as pretty much everything is done by system-specific scripts. The introduction of systemd actually led to an *increase* in uniformity as distros share most of the configuration files.

Every response has been an exercise in mischaracterization.
Posted Jan 29, 2013 22:15 UTC (Tue) by smurf (subscriber, #17840) [Link]
If you truly think systemd is "relatively useless" for sysadmins, you should re-read this discussion.
Sysadmins need to be able to correctly and efficiently deal with failure situations. Once you use "systemctl status" and see instantly what the problem is, as opposed to grepping through heaps of ps and syslog output, you will not want to go back.
A more obscure, yet incredibly useful, feature of systemd is to start services in a consistent environment. No root login whose strange environment settings can contaminate the daemon and render its messages useless. No tty which can randomly block or vanish. No job control that can block your program or send it strange signals. And so on.

AFAICT, those people are now called "devops", and they may love it.

FLOSS will simply evolve to leave the systemd-limited distros behind.
I think that, given time, the problem will take care of itself since nobody will be able to come up with anything that is both enough of a significant improvement on System V init to get System V init anywhere near what systemd does even today, compatible with tradition enough so the die-hard System V init fans won't complain, and gets traction in enough distributions so people will actually be interested. (The ones which have subscribed to systemd already aren't going back unless whatever the System V init camp has to propose is really a lot better than systemd, which would be quite surprising.) This is very unlikely to actually happen since historically the distributions didn't even seem to be able to agree on a standard for init scripts, let alone all of System V init or indeed an evolutionarily improved System V init.
In the meantime, systemd will improve even further and, with the major Linux distributions behind it, will become even more compelling. In effect, System V init will leave systemd behind in exactly the way that CVS left Git behind.
Feel free to prove me wrong.

I made a statement which linguistically a clear thing which can be accepted or rejected by the reader. So your attempt to imply such underhanded tactics is itself underhanded. Which, if you didn't realize, is why you were being unreasonably rude.

Think the rich aren't getting richer in New York State high school football? Think again.
There are very few one-hit wonders playing for New York State Public High School Athletic Association titles at the Carrier Dome this Friday and Saturday. In fact, three of last year's state champions – Orchard Park, Maine-Endwell and Hornell – and 2011 runner-up Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake are back.
Hornell (12-0), the Class B state champion each of the last three years, has won 51 straight games and has to be favored again, this time in a Class C final against Hoosick Falls (12-0) at noon on Saturday.
Orchard Park (11-1) tries to make it two straight Class AA titles against New Rochelle (10-1) in Saturday's 6 p.m. nightcap.
And in between, Maine-Endwell (12-0), last year's Class A champ, meets Glens Falls (11-1) in the Class B final at 3 p.m. Saturday. Maine-Endwell returns with a 24-game winning streak.
Two state championship games are Friday. Tuckahoe (8-2-1) won it all in 2010, and returns to face Randolph (10-2), the 2009 champion, in the Class D final at noon on Friday. Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake (11-1), which lost to Maine-Endwell 27-20 in last year's final, meets Sweet Home (12-0) at 3 p.m. Friday.
Carrier Dome tickets are $10.
Sad but true: No Section III teams in the state finals again this year. Our last state title came in 2007, when West Genesee won Class AA and Bishop Ludden won Class C.
Since state playoffs began in 1993, Section III teams have won only 10 titles – three in Class AA (CBA, Auburn, West Genesee); none in Class A or Class B; two in Class C (Bishop Ludden and Onondaga); and five in Class D (West Canada Valley, Dolgeville and Weedsport once and Onondaga twice).
The balance of powers is in Western New York. Section V (Rochester area) has 22 state titles and Section VI (Buffalo area) has 17. Sections III-IV are next with 10 each.

In the fall of 2007, when the U.S. economy first seemed in peril, I began answering reader queries here on the Business Desk. I still do so occasionally, but this page has expanded to include posts from eminent economists, "far-flung correspondents," and a variety of voices that have intriguing and/or useful things to say about economics, broadly defined. Please feel encouraged to respond to any and all of them. |
« Previous Entry | Main | Next Entry » Keynes or Say? How Do I Vote? Paul Solman frequently answers questions from the NewsHour audience on business and economic news here on the Making Sen$e page. Here is Thursday's query: Name: Brian Christopher Question: Hi, Paul. Just read your post on Keynes vs. Say's Law. Thanks for making it easier to understand. I often think that many folks read something that makes sense to them and decide that since it makes sense and fits their world view, it must be correct. My Q: Since both theories have a century or two of historical testing, which is supported by evidence that we can use to know which theory to believe? Stated differently, can you get us past debate and onto evidence-based belief? Paul Solman: When an economic debate is politically charged, as this one is, I leave conclusions to the reader. I feel comfortable in observing that, in the long run, the "law" propounded by Jean Baptiste Say holds - pretty much by definition. People can overproduce in some proximate time frame, but eventually they will start producing things (or providing services) that people want and the gluts of the past will disappear; supply will again create its own demand. But to paraphrase John Maynard Keynes' memorable insight, penned a decade before the Great Depression: in the long run, we're toast. Almost three years ago, Keynes' much-decorated biographer, Robert Skidelsky, told the NewsHour audience: "I don't think [Keynes] believed that economies would remain depressed forever. He thought they would recover, but that they wouldn't recover fully to a full employment position once they had been severely shocked without a continuous stimulus for a long period." Wouldn't recover fully enough soon enough, that is. As Skidelsky went on to say, Keynes didn't think you can simply shrug and take the position that "In the long run things are going to be alright, let's say in 10 or 15 or 20 years, therefore let's have a lot of pain in the short run because it doesn't matter, it all smoothes out in the end." The problem comes in the interim, said Skidelsky; short-term, "the pain may be too politically risky. [Keynes] was afraid of inflicting too much pain on a population in a democratic society." And afraid of the alternative economic system springing up around him in the 1930's -- in fascist Italy and Germany and in communist Russia. It's a stochastic universe. The best we can do is try to make the odds. If you think the political risk of waiting for Say's Law to kick in is too high, you should buy Keynes, and the pain insurance his theory prescribes. If you don't worry about democracy, you might want to wait for M. Say. As usual, look for a second post early this afternoon. But please don't blame us if events or technology make that impossible. In the meantime, please note that this entry is cross-posted on the Rundown- NewsHour's blog of news and insight.
