Looking for buy first DSLR-mirrorless etc around 700$ a57 etc

Thank you so much, for the help Mister Bjorn_L , truely appreciated your valuable comment , so far it's the a57 that truely attracted me at 700$ but... I love the GH3 for his video-feature... truely out of this world camera.... but 1550$ my estimate with kit lens, is way too much money for a noobish like me... but on second thought
would the GH3 be better if i need more gear? lens wise,flash, adapter, microphone etc...
dilemma "suddenly more oriented to gh3... but the price is still a lot for a first DSLR" decision decision decision ;p
No, Sony is in 3rd place when it comes to amount of available gear. It uses the Minolta mount and can use some it those older items. The GH3 uses the micro-fourthirds mount, which means it can use the same lenses and stuff from Panasonic and Olympus. Interestingly Sony just made a very large investment in Olympus so they might be adding stuff there as well, but not yet.
If you are concerned about lenses, flashes, other add-ons and upgrades, the two brands to look at are Nikon and Canon. They both sell around 40% of all DSLRs. Bigger market = more accessories. They can simply afford to make more stuff and more varied stuff then those with 2-3% marketshare. Also they get the best support from 3rd party companies too (same reason more people to sell those add-ons to).
Sony sells more cameras than Panasonic. You can compare lenses available here at DPReview (pull down the lenses menu).
The GH3 (based on my my playing with the GH2 and reviews of the gh2 by experianced folk) will be better at casual video than the a57. The a57 will probably be a little better at low light. Neither one will match a Nikon or Pentax in low light.
Every camera is about compromises. Which feature set best suits you is personal. Budget plays a role too. The gh3 is very expensive. In large part because of the success of the gh1 and gh2 in video. But also because the gh3 is weather sealed, and has some other high end features, for example an extremely high end OLED EVF and the highest bit-rate in video without going to a full-frame (professional) camera. If video was very important to me the Gh3 would be my choice with the a57 being my 2d choice for casual video. For your budget and your stated goals, the a57 does seem a better fit over the gh3. The only camera I see fitting as well was the d5100 which is better at stills but not as good at video (over simplified).
See my plan (in my profile) for what I shoot with. See my gallery for images I find amusing.

Building an indie game is a thrilling adventure full of fame, fortune, and romance which ends with an exciting story you can one day sell for a movie deal. If you read my opening sentence and called "shenanigans" on my claim, then congratulations and keep reading this article you smart yet cynical reader you. If you actually believed the tripe I just wrote, then…. well…I don't think anything can help you my naïve buffoon, but hey! Keep reading anyways. I need more hits!
Think of your indie game as a climb towards the top of Mount Everest. What's that you say? Too dangerous and cliché? Fine you donkey dick if you don't want to go high I'll take you low.
Now where was I?
Think of your indie game as trek through an unexplored cave you low expectation setting motherfu…ahem…you calculated risk taking moderate. As you navigate this underground complex of stalactites and stalagmites your only guide is a map written by fifty different opinions on which way to go. As you proceed up, down, left, right, ninety degrees, North, Northwest, and various other different directions your lantern runs out of kerosene and you realize you should have climbed the goddamn mountain because that actually had light. But you're in the cave now so deal with it.
The light is quite faint as you continue, and as you trek further down the path you believe to be the correct one, the light gets more and more dim. There comes a point when you are in total darkness…and when I say total darkness your eyes cannot adjust. All you're seeing is black. Like Vantablack (Google that word, awesome results). At this point you think you're close to the end of this wayward journey but you're not so sure. You're in too deep to stop and go back. Your only choice is to go forward. Advancing onward feels like an agonizing eternity but what bothers you most is it could be the wrong path. Almost every game developer goes through this torture and it can be extremely tough mentally. Depression is very real and it comes in many different forms. Fortunately for you my grand spelunker, I have some tips to help you stay positive during this trying period.
Super Splendid Tip #1: Write 3 Positive Things
A real great book I picked up a couple of years ago was The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor. He's a fantastic author who specializes in happiness research and is an advocate on positive psychology. Go read his book. It's very informative and if he finds out I'm giving him a plug here maybe I'll get a kickback.
In one of his chapters he describes a method for staying optimistic by writing down three positive things that happened to you at the end of the day. Now the Negative Nelly in you is saying nothing good happens daily in my life you liar! But that depends on how we define "good". When I tell you to describe the good things that happened to you today you're going to ask yourself did I:
- Get laid
- Get paid a ridiculous amount of money
- Win the Nobel prize for peace
- Find the cure for cancer
- <insert goal that takes lifetime to achieve here>.
I'm talking about little things that make you happy like sleeping in, getting the day off work, taking an hour to exercise at the gym, or not getting bitten by the neighbour's dog for once. Small victories, and I know they don't seem like much. But if you spend the day looking for at least three positive things that happened to you and write it down in a journal, it will make all the difference.
It's called cognitive behavioural therapy. It changes your patterns of thinking and behaviour to help change the way you feel. If you spend the end of each day looking for three or more positive things that happened to you, everything will begin to look like possibilities as opposed to dead ends. Your brain will begin focussing on the good things that can happen instead of negative scenarios.
Amazingly Awesome Tip #2: Whine to Someone….Who Understands
Although I still highly stick to the "write three positive things" rule sometimes you just have to bitch like a little bitch. It's healthy to complain once in a while. You shouldn't bottle your emotions as they will eventually come pouring out anyways. And when they do it'll always be at the wrong time. Like your mom's fancy dinner party where you tell Uncle John "Fuck you you pathetic fuck! What do you know about making games asshole?! You've just been a manager at a run-down independent grocery store that's going to go out of business! Fuck Franks Fine Foods! Fuck you Uncle John! And fuck the job you're offering me as produce clerk you fuck! I'm going to be an indie game rock star and you're not going to ruin my dream asshole!!!!"
Basically find a good friend that's an even better listener. Pour your heart out and get it all off your chest. But once it's done don't go back and complain about the same thing to your friend over and over again. You'll be that girl that constantly complains to her ugly horny guy pal who she keeps in the friend zone because he's the only one who listens to her superficial problems. You know that girl. Everyone hates that girl. Basically pity parties suck. Bitch out your problems, feel better, and move one. You've got a game to build remember? Oh yah, try to make sure this friend isn't someone who's working on the game with you. Meltdowns in front of team members don't improve morale. Just look at what happened to the Marines team in Aliens when Lieutenant Gorman lost his shit (Spoiler: Sergeant Apone dies).
Wonderfully Wicked Tip #3: Look at Criticism as a Teaching Tool
In the current century we live in it seems that we all love to criticize but none of us want to be criticized. It's an interesting paradox that if studied by the top minds of this generation all conclusions would be the same. We're a bunch of hypocritical wimps using the latest technology to infuse us with high levels of keyboard courage while having no real spine. The only way around this is to employ two tactics:
1) Grow a thick set of skin
2) Start looking at what people are really saying
Now when I mention that last point, there are actual tiny nuggets of truth hidden within the YouTube comments section. You just got to look past the colourful language used because people like to be artsy fartsy when they tell you that your game needs improvement. I will give you a couple of examples:
Criticism: "The graphics for this game look like a fucking joke!"
Translation: Your artwork is lacking. You should hire a professional artist.
Criticism: "Good god! This voice acting is so painful!!1 I can do a better job and I haven't taken any acting classes in my life!"
Translation: Hire professional voice actors instead of using your cousins. Cutting corners just makes you go around in circles.
Criticism: "Fuck your game! It's a piece of shit! Those 1 million faggots that downloaded it don't know what a real game is! People support shit nowadays!"
Translation: This is a Troll who possibly tried their hand in game design and failed miserably. They want you to fail as well so you can join them down at their level. Ignore these comical hobgoblins as misery loves company. It's your best weapon.
You get the picture, if your game is mediocre shit the internet will let you know. It's your duty to pick up your ears and listen instead of cowering in a corner. Criticism is tough but it is also there to help you. If you can take that tough love and apply it to your design not only will you be a mature responsible cool human being, you'll also churn out a better game. Just remember, you'll have all these anonymous jerks to thank after.
Brilliantly Bodacious Tip #4: Get Involved in the Community
You ever go through an entire day of just coding, designing, or planning your game while cutting off all human contact? You ever think you're alone and you'll 'show them all' when your game is released and they all would have wished to be your friend? You ever consider that if this game development dream doesn't work out you're going to live out your days alone, in the forest, isolated from society? Yah, stop doing that you crazed depressed hermit!
If you want your game to be accepted by the community, you should join in the community. I was a bit closed off at the beginning of development for our game Dirty Chinese Restaurant. It was because we didn't want our ideas to be copied but you'd be surprised how supportive the indie game community is. Currently I help beta test a game called Dystoria by Tri-Coastal Games (there's your shout out Darryl, you owe me big for the huge draw of people this article is getting. All THREE people). Not only do I beta test for bugs but I also look at the player experience. I have given Darryl plenty of tips to make Dystoria achieve better flow in gameplay. At the same time, he vouches for Dirty Chinese Restaurant without me even asking. It's a good relationship that makes me feel great because we both support each other's work. We don't do it because we are trying to scam free advertising off one another (although it's a great perk), we do it because we actually like each other's games.
Helping your community and watching them help you back is one of the biggest positive boosts to your emotional state. So reach out!
Fantastically Fabulous Tip #5: Exercise
This one's kind of obvious. Exercise, specifically running, releases Endorphins to the body which make you feel super mellow and gives you that I can take on the whole damn world with one hand attitude. It's basically an anti-depressant. Feeling down? Just run around! Not doing great? Lift some weight!
Now hush those words trying to escape your mouth Captain Obvious. I am well aware some people reading this are not professional athletes nor are they gym rats and that's all well and fine. You don't have to be. All you got to do is find some routines online, sign up at your local gym, and execute.
Uh, well George….uh….I don't have time to exercise. Yah that's what I call a useless excuse. You know, words that come out of your mouth that are meaningless. Let me ask you two questions oh busy CEO of made up Fortune 500 company. Do you have time to train to swim like Michael Phelps or get a ripped physique like Dwayne Johnson? Of course not! Do you have 30-45 minutes to lift some weights, run around the track, or circuit train? YES! You do! And you'll feel better for it. Your mood will pick up, you'll look healthier, and your friends will take notice.
Note: You also have to eat healthily. Don't expect to do all this on the Dorito Diet as a Nacho Nutrition Supplement.
Extraordinarily Excellent Tip #6: Know When to Relax
You ever ride a wild stallion through the forest and think to yourself man I'm making so much progress, I can do this forever. Well you can't and if you respond with my butt may get sore but it will be worth the pain when I get there I will reply with no you idiot, I'm referring to the horse you self-centred fuck! It can't run forever! Now go stop by the lake and let it drink some water before I call those psychos at PETA to deal with you!
The parable I just mentioned about the horse and the selfish asshole (you) not being able to run infinitely also applies to you the game designer. We all want to finish our games. We all want to be successful. And we all want to build another game and continue to build more games. Unfortunately, game design is not a race, it's a marathon. And like any marathon you have to learn when to push and when to slow down. You're no good burnt out.
Never feel guilty if you take the day off to spend with your kids or go out to the movies with your friends. Hey, if your single, go out on a date. You need these off times to not be thinking about your game so you can clear your mind and recharge those batteries. Creative solutions, inspiration, and drive has never come from looking at a blank computer screen all day. It comes from going out into the world.
Obviously Outstanding Tip #7: Avoid Negative People
My dad refers to my game as that shit you're making. I ignore him but I also have family members who believe they need to tell people their opinion on subjects they claim they're experts on. Once again I just do my thing because I know what I need, not what they believe I need. Criticism is only good for game development. It is critiquing the work, not the person.
Negative people are soul suckers. They refuse to understand you and they want you to feel like smelly maggot infested trash that even the garbage man won't pick up. Their advice may only serve to inflict their destructive will on you, and it will continue because you were foolish enough to listen the first time. Now that's not to say people can't give good advice but when these same people have such a hard on to tell you that you suck, they're the ones with the actual issues not you.
But George, how will I know who is being negative and who has my best interests.? When someone has your best interests they will address their concerns but they will support you no matter what, if you are committed to a goal. A negative person will try to consistently make you feel stupid for taking a risk and if you ignore them they will channel their inner asshole and try to get other people on their hate bandwagon. They also shit all over you when you fail, but when you're successful they become very quiet because they are metaphorically constipated and they can't shit all over you. Remember this is your project, your mountain to climb, not theirs. Don't give these soul reavers the time of day.
Massively Marvelous Tip #8: Take Small Steps For Small Victories
We have all seen huge successes such as Minecraft and Angry Birds while foolishly thinking to ourselves I can do that easy! I've got news for you self-proclaimed genius you can't. Yes, I'm ignoring my 'ignore negative people' rule here but just look at what happened after Flappy Birds and its success. One million plus developers tried to clone the same game thinking they're going to make $50,000 a day if they code for a week. Spoiler….it didn't work!
Making a great and unique indie game takes time, and during that time you will have small victories throughout, which should be celebrated mind you. Whether it be small or large titles they went through a lot of trial and error, testing, and rebuilds. The Dirty Chinese Restaurant you see in the two trailers on YouTube (yah I gotta plug my game here, don't judge you would too) looks nothing like the builds we did originally. We've built, torn down, and rebuilt the game engine. We've drawn, destroyed, and then redrawn game graphics. We've scored music contemporary, converted to 8-bit music, then created an 8bit/contemporary hybrid. Every production meeting we had was composed of the small steps we took that week, nothing more. And with each bunch of small steps milestones were eventually hit which made us truly happy with the product we ended up with. Eventually you will have a game that is grand and a smile that is even grander.
Terribly Terrific Tip #9: Don't Wear Too Many Hats
As indie game developers….ahem…sorry…as piss poor indie game developers, with teams of three or four people you have to not only build your game but worry about company taxes, website design, marketing strategy, etc. on a tight budget. This can be very stressful and if you are stretched too thin you won't be focussing on making a great game which will end up suffering. Sure you can do extra things but all those tasks will be all for naught if your focusing 10% on 100 jobs instead of 100% on 3 or 4.
Use this rule of thumb. If you have no skill in that set discipline, then hire someone who does. Never built a website? Hire a professional instead of using wix.com to make pooh. Do you usually get an accountant to do your taxes? Do the same with your business to avoid a nasty audit. Don't like somebody? Hire a professional hitman instead of pulling an O.J. Simps…oh um…I mean…just don't associate with said jerk. You would be foolish to think as your business grows (yes you are in a business now regardless if you think you're just an artist precious snowflake) you won't need additional help. It isn't too expensive to hire some freelance PR or designers to help with advertising or websites if you do your research.
Remember the money you pay is an investment. Besides, the upside to shelling out a few bucks for a professional to get the job done is its one less thing to worry about. You'll sleep easier when you know someone else is bringing their expertise to make your product look even better. It is after all why you're paying them.
Excessively Extreme Tip #10: Remember…You're Making a Fucking Game!
Through the stress and hard work of game design it can be all too easy to forget what you're working towards: making something awesome that people can share. Think about it. You're making a game! You're creating something with the potential to dive into the annals of videogame culture, even possibly pop culture. Who does that?! I'll tell you what my friend, very few people do. And best of all, people in general respect it. It's a multi-disciplinary craft, not too many people have it on their resume, and it's a great conversation starter at a party.
I get a great sense of pride telling people I'm finally completing a game called Dirty Chinese Restaurant. Of course, I don't become self-absorbed in my achievements like a douche (and you shouldn't be narcissistic either), but it's okay to talk about your accomplishments if you remain modest about them. Always remember the goal. Write it on a piece of paper and put it at the top of your monitor. Seeing what you are aiming for every day will put a smile on your face.
Now if you are making some hack job game in one week then all this does not apply to you. You deserve to be miserable you lazy dolt! Stop ruining the industry with your I gotta get rich quick shovelware! As for the rest of you, get out there and finish what you started!

Come Party With Me: Beach Picnic - Menu II
Picnics are one of my favorite types of parties to plan. The majority of the food is prepared in advance, allowing the hostess maximum time to chat with her guests, enjoy the sunset, or fly a kite. Cooling salads are always welcome and I'm assembling two to pair with steamed clams and fried chicken. A cucumber, red onion, and basil salad is a a fresh flavor combination that can easily be made for a private picnic or a crowd of twenty. Carrots, one of the world's most underrated and overlooked vegetables, make for a colorful and crisp salad when mixed with peanuts and mint.
And when the moon is high over the ocean I'll break out a portable fork free dessert: mini cherry pies with the perfect balance of flaky pastry and sweet, fruity filling. You know you want to make at least one of these delightful dishes so get the recipe and
Cucumber, Red Onion, and Basil Salad
From Coastal Living magazine
2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1⁄4 cups)
1⁄2 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Cover and chill 1 hour.
Makes about 4 cups.
Carrot Salad
From Family Fun Go
1 pound carrots, peeled
3/4 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
- Grate the carrots on the coarse side of a box grater (a food processor extracts a lot of liquid and will make the carrots too soft for this salad).
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the carrots, peanuts, parsley, and mint.
- In a small bowl thoroughly stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, and salt, then pour the dressing onto the salad and toss again until the carrots are evenly coated.
- Let the salad stand for 20 minutes before serving, or refrigerate it and serve within 2 days.
Serves 6.
Mini Cherry Pies
From Martha Stewart
4 cups frozen sour cherries, defrosted until easily separated
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Juice and grated rind of 1/2 lemon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut in pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
- Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Add the butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add the ice water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube, just until the dough holds together. Do not process for more than 30 seconds.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface. Divide in two. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap. Flatten, and form two discs.
- Wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour before using.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a medium bowl combine, cherries, sugar, flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, and zest.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll one disk of dough out slightly less than 1/8-inch-thick. Use a 4 3/4-inch cutter to cut out 6 rounds. Fit rounds into 3 1/2-inch fluted tart pans with removable bottoms.
- Divide filling evenly between pans.
- Roll second disk of dough out 1/8-inch-thick. Use a 3 3/4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 rounds. Place rounds over fruit. Cut vents into each pie.
- Seal by folding edges over and crimping with thumb and forefinger. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and heavy cream. Brush evenly over tops of pies.
- Bake until golden brown, and juices are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
Makes 6 3 1/2-inch pies.

This section goes in depth on a selected foodservice and equipment supplies market segment. From commercial to institutional, from food trucks to correctional facilities, FE&S covers it all.
The evolution of the Mexican foodservice segment mirrors that of Italian restaurants: an increased focus on regional, authentic ingredients and from-scratch preparation. Mexican foodservice operators across the board, from QSRs to fine dining restaurants, from chains to independents, continue to embrace these trends as their concepts evolve.
One of the country's largest quick-service Mexican food chains, Taco John's came from what many would consider to be the humblest of beginnings.
Leave it to acclaimed chef Richard Sandoval to create an edgy Mexican concept that has become a popular gathering spot for Washington, D.C.'s young professionals.
Since its development back in 1957, the Llanfair Retirement Community in Cincinnati, Ohio, has undergone many changes. In 1979 a 75-unit apartment building was added to the community's campus. Four years later, another 32-unit condo-style independent-living building was also built.
With an emphasis on expanding menus, speed of service and the use of locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that rival the strongest of restaurants, healthcare foodservice continues to enjoy a renaissance.
Even after several remodels over the course of 41 years, the kitchen at Hendricks Regional Health remained a cramped space with failing infrastructure.
Fine dining is nothing new for California's West Hollywood neighborhood. But RivaBella, which opened in January of 2013, brings an authentic Italian experience to the Sunset Strip.
In an attempt to overcome challenges similar to those faced by their peers in other industry segments — such as sluggish sales and rising operating costs — Italian restaurant operators continue to spark their businesses by providing lighter, fresher fare.
Twenty-five years ago on Dartmouth Street in downtown Boston, Papa Razzi first opened its doors, positioned as a true Italian scratch kitchen.
It may seem unusual that Germany is the birthplace for a successful international Italian restaurant concept, but that is indeed the case with Vapiano. Established in 2002, this fast-casual Italian chain now boasts 150 restaurants in 26 countries.
With consumers beginning to travel for leisure and business, foodservice sales at resorts are starting to bounce back. As a result, these operators look to leverage equipment packages that can handle high volumes and diverse menu offerings in the most efficient manner possible.

DISORDER erupted across Glasgow last night as thousands of Ajax fans descended on the city for a Champions League clash with Celtic.
A massive police operation got under way hours before the seats were ripped up at Celtic Park as the Dutch giants were beaten 2-1 by 10-man Celtic.
Officers were out in several areas as streets and pubs were flooded with 2500 visiting fans.
There was an heavy presence from Sauchiehall Street to Trongate and Gallowgate, and members of the public flagged up trouble and posted pictures on social media sites.
Some showed hundreds of chanting fans being led through the city by officers on horses, flanked by police vans.
Police said "some instances of disorder" had been brought under control.
Superintendent Brian McInulty said: "This game has been sold out with thousands of fans attending the match.
"The area is busy but is being policed appropriately.
"Officers have dealt with some instances of disorder, however the police response has been immediate and officers have quickly got the situation under control.
"We are experienced in dealing with major events and there is a significant policing operation in place to deal with any issues which may arise both at the ground and in the city."
Glasgow residents said they had noticed a "heightened" atmosphere.
A Tollcross resident, who asked not to be named, said: "I thought the Ajax fans were quite threatening.
"There was a huge group of them outside Walkabout, in the city centre, with lots of police present.
"When I was on my way home, there was a heavy police presence in the Gallowgate area, at one point we saw police chasing a group of fans.
"There were ambulances and police cars in the area, they seemed to be trying to block Ajax fans from the Barras area where there are lots of Celtic fans. Living in Tollcross I have experienced lots of big games but the atmosphere did seem a bit more heightened."
On Monday a British Transport Police (BTP) officer was injured after a riot involving between 40 and 50 football fans in Glasgow's Central Station at around 10.45pm.
A 17-year-old male Dutch national was arrested and appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday.
BTP said further arrests had been made and they were hunting other people in connection with the incident.
No one was seriously injured.
A BTP spokesman said: "One police officer was injured and one man was arrested at the scene after a serious disturbance at Glasgow Central Station. Around 40-50 youths were involved.
"It is believed to be linked to football fans."
"We are actively pursuing others in connection with the disturbance."

The echelle spectrometer TIMM-2 is the instrument developed for the unsuccessful Russian mission Phobos-Grunt. The instrument was dedicated to solar occultation studies of the Martian atmosphere by measuring the amount of methane, by sensitive measuring of other minor constituents, and by profiling the ratio and the aerosol structure. The spectral range of the instrument is 2300–4100 nm, the spectral resolving power exceeds 25,000, and the field of view is . The spectra are measured in narrow spectral intervals, corresponding to discreet diffraction orders. One measurement cycle includes several spectral intervals. To study the vertical profiles of aerosol, the instrument incorporates four photometers in the UV to near-IR spectral range. The mass of the instrument is 2800 g, and its power consumption is 12 W. One complete flight model remains available after the Phobos-Grunt launch. We discuss the science objectives of the occultation experiment for the case of Mars, the implementation of the instrument, and the results of ground calibrations.

Operating from memory, as I've misplaced the notes I took at the meeting, below are the discussion points from the MVT CID Consolidated condo tax forum. Attendees included the MVT CID, Madrigal Lofts, 555 Mass and two members of the Office of Tax & Revenue. The Sonata and City Vista condominiums will also be affected but did not send representatives.
Presently for office and apartment buildings the CID sends tax bills to the building as a whole. These entities then pass on the costs to their tenants. For condominiums the CID bills each individual unit owner. Over the last several years the volume condominium units has increased six fold to nearly 1200 units. The administration costs of billing 1200 condo owners twice a year are high and consume 9% of the CID's annual budget. Additionally since many condo residents do not understand the CID tax the collection rates are mediocre – often 60% for new buildings and 80% for mature buildings. This plan for a consolidated condo tax hopes to simplify the administration overhead and streamline costs.
Residents have objections on several fronts (after the jump). I am not a lawyer so the legal-esque points may not be articulated perfectly:
- The administrative overhead the CID is saddled with is not our problem. Residents are not convinced the CID and OTR have done everything they can to improve their administrative processes. For instance several existing capabilities for collecting real property taxes are not being employed for the CID tax: Escrow and online payment. Some residents percieve that the consolidated condo tax is just government pushing their administrative responsibilities onto other entities (condo boards) rather than taking responsibility for improving the way they operate.
- Presently a condo owner delinquent on their CID tax must resolve this obligation at settlement or their sale will not consumate. If the tax was instead assessed to the building then passed along in condo fees the legality around it is different. The condo board must file a lien against the unit owner. To file a lien involves securing legal counsel and increases the condo boards administrative costs.
- Most condo by-laws state that all costs must be distributed by units par-value. The CID tax is a flat $120 tax. While in the end D.C. legislation would likely trump condo-by-laws it would create a new layer of complexity in condo fee accounting where some items are flat and others are determined by par-value.
- Condo fees are a sensitive issue for resale of your condominium. Potential buyers searching through MLS listings often rule out properties from consideration sight unseen based on listing price and condo fees. The proponents of the consolidation suggest (paraphrasing) "the net effect for the owner is the same whether you pay $10 extra a month in condo dues or $120 a year to the government in taxes." This may be true from a personal budgeting perspective but not from a resale perspective.
I think concerned residents would like to see the CID and OTR improve their efficiency rather than saddle condo boards indirectly with tax collection. While the CID and OTR absorbed that feedback it remains to be seen how strongly it will be considered or whether they will instead stay committed to directing energy towards getting the consolidated condo tax into emergency legislation so it will take effect in Fiscal Year 2011.
Lastly, this issue is really bigger than just the MVT CID. The Capitol Riverfront, NoMA and even Downtown BIDs are watching intently and hope to jump on the bandwagon.

Debbie Jardine of Sun Lakes was preparing a dinner of liver and onions for her visiting grandson, Joey, on March 30, 1999. Joey had never had liver, and his doting grandmother was pleased to oblige.
"The phone rang about 6:45," Debbie recalls. "A lady comes on and says, 'Mrs. Jardine, this is the ASU police. Does your son Johnny have some kind of medical problem?' I told them he had epilepsy and diabetes. She put me on hold. She came back and told me that he had had a seizure and that they were taking him to Tempe St. Luke's Hospital."
Trips to the hospital to retrieve her 37-year-old son were nothing new for Debbie. Epilepsy had bedeviled Johnny since he nearly drowned when he was 3. But Johnny had persevered, undergoing two frontal lobectomies and employing a pharmaceutical cornucopia over the years to gain some control over the seizures that wracked his body. Johnny had been enrolled at ASU for eight months, and was doing well. He'd only had two seizures in the preceding year. He was feeling good about himself, with newfound purpose.
"My husband, John, didn't want to go to the hospital to get Johnny," Debbie continues. "So I was going. My grandson Joey said, 'Grandma, I'll go with you.' He was thinking we'd just pick up Uncle Johnny and come back home."
When Debbie and Joey arrived at Tempe St. Luke's, they were ushered into a tiny room. A doctor and a nursing supervisor came in. Debbie describes the atmosphere as "icy cold," and what occurred thereafter as an "interrogation."
"The doctor asked me did I know why Johnny would test positive for opiates. I said, 'You should just ask Johnny, because he knows better than anyone about the medication he's taking.' The doctor said to me, 'I can't ask him, he's dead.'"
The doctor told her that Johnny had suffered a "widowmaker" heart attack.
It was a devastating revelation, callously told, to a woman who had devoted her life to nurturing and providing some sense of normalcy and happiness to her disabled first-born. Now, gripped by grief, she had her 10-year-old grandson clinging to her in his own confusion and trepidation.
"I asked to see my son," she says. "They said I shouldn't, that he looked terrible. So they said to give them some time to get him ready.
"Joey and I walked in the room. Johnny was the color of your blue jeans. I kissed him on the forehead and I took the sheet back to hold his arms, and I saw the dark rings around his wrists. The nurse told me they were from tying off IVs."
It was one of many untruths Debbie would hear.
Someone from the hospital told Debbie that she could request an autopsy, but that she would have to pay for it. None was required because Johnny had died in the presence of medical personnel, she was told. Debbie demurred, saying that her son had suffered enough in his life.
But unbeknownst to the Jardines, an autopsy was performed.
The next day, Debbie took another call at her home from a pathologist at the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office.
"She told me, 'I want you to listen and listen very carefully to what I'm going to tell you. I see no real evidence of a heart attack. I'm suspicious that your son suffered excessive brutal force. There are areas of bruising and ligature marks.'"
Debbie asked what "ligature marks" meant.
"She said, 'Handcuffs,' and my heart just broke.
"I hung up the phone and I went in and woke my husband up. The question was, What should we do about this information? We decided we'd find out the truth."
That, of course, involves lawyers. The Jardines retained Michael Manning, the Phoenix attorney who won an $8.5 million settlement from Maricopa County over the death of jail inmate Scott Norberg. The Jardines have sued the hospital and the agencies involved in Johnny's "rescue," including ASU, the City of Tempe and Southwest Ambulance. They are seeking $20 million. They say it's not about the money, but holding people accountable and ensuring that another epileptic never suffers needlessly, as their son did.
According to the complaint filed by Manning, Johnny felt a seizure coming on as he sat in his evening geography class at ASU. He tried to leave the classroom. His classmates saw his distress; some recognized that he was suffering a seizure. One of them called 911 on her cell phone, and the dispatcher instructed the students not to restrain Johnny.
Emergency personnel arrived and found Johnny outside the classroom. They put him in a chair next to a window. He was disoriented. When Johnny stood up, the emergency medical technicians tripped his feet out from beneath him, restrained his arms and applied pressure to his back. An ASU Department of Public Safety officer handcuffed Johnny's wrists behind his back, put his knee in the middle of Johnny's back and pinned him down. An EMT straddled his back.
Johnny was 5-foot-10 and weighed 260 pounds. In the best cases, grand mal seizures leave the sufferer gasping for breath. The added weight on top of Johnny, the position of his arms and his obesity made it difficult for him to breathe.
Still handcuffed, Johnny was placed face down on a gurney. The handcuffs were not removed. He was cinched with straps, his face was jammed down securely into an airtight gurney pad. As Johnny was loaded into an ambulance, one EMT suggested that the handcuffs be removed and that Johnny be put onto his back. Others said not to bother. The ASU officer approached and asked if the handcuffs should be removed. The EMTs told him to go to the hospital to get his handcuffs. They had no key to release the cuffs; neither did the hospital.
EMTs did not attach a pulse oximeter to Johnny's finger, did not even hook up a cardiac monitor. En route to St. Luke's, the EMTs noticed that Johnny had no pulse and was not breathing. A cardiac monitor was finally employed, and it confirmed that Johnny had no pulse, the suit states.
Three EMTs turned Johnny over to try to resuscitate him. But his "cuffed hands remained pinned beneath his back, forcing his body into an awkward and unstable position, and rendering CPR efforts ineffective," the complaint alleges.
The autopsy report says nothing about a heart attack. The medical examiner determined that Johnny died from seizure disorder with delirium, coronary artery disease, obesity and positional restraint. Johnny had never used alcohol or illicit drugs. The opiate found in his system was codeine, from cough medicine.
Harding Cure, a lawyer defending Tempe and its Fire Department EMTs, calls the case "a tragedy" -- but one in which the EMTs did nothing wrong. He complains that the emergency personnel are "outrageously and scandalously . . . being cast as storm troopers."
"It's very doubtful that anything these firefighters did had any effect on this young man's life," Cure says. "I really feel sorry for them [Jardines]. The City of Tempe Fire Department and each one of these firefighters feel terrible about what happened. They were just trying to help him."
Cure says that Johnny had a history of violent behavior during seizures, and that that necessitated the steps the firefighters took.
"There have been multiple incidents where he has injured members of his family," Cure says. "Which is not to cast the fault or aspersion on this young man. He acted violently to uniformed people and to people in authority. They attempted to maintain his own safety and theirs and the bystanders."
The Jardines acknowledge that their son was charged with resisting arrest and aggravated assault on a police officer while he lived in Florida. But they hasten to note that it stemmed from a misunderstanding and that a jury acquitted Johnny after deliberating less than a half-hour. Moreover, they say, Johnny won a subsequent civil suit against the officers, and was awarded $30,000. They say he has never hurt any members of the family.
"There's lots of records that state otherwise," Cure says.
Officials from the other agencies named as defendants did not return calls seeking comment.
John Brooking Jardine IV was born on September 1, 1961, in Muskegon, Michigan. His parents, John III and Debbie, were young when they wed. December 27 marked their 40th anniversary.
Their memories of Johnny are bittersweet -- unfathomable heartache from his tribulations, but immense pride at his tenacity and sweet disposition. He was intelligent and caring, they say. He had a near photographic memory, read avidly and was a whiz at current events and geography. He was dignified. People who took the trouble to get to know Johnny were invariably amazed at his acuity and depth.
"I'd never trade him for a so-called normal child," Debbie says. "He had big dreams."
Johnny was never normal after the day his mother took him and his sister to a friend's to do laundry. Johnny was 3. When they got out of the car, Johnny told his mother he wanted to play on the slide. The friend had a swing set, and Debbie inferred that's where Johnny intended to go. But Debbie couldn't find him in the yard. She checked at the nearby neighborhood grocery store, but nobody there had seen him.
"I looked across the street and saw a turquoise slide. I rushed over there. As I got closer, I could see the outline of a swimming pool in the ground. He was floating face down in the six-foot end of the pool like a little rag doll in a snow suit," Debbie recalls.
The frigid water undoubtedly saved Johnny's life. He was unconscious for 24 hours. Then he woke up and stared catatonically at the ceiling. "When he finally started talking, all he would say is, 'Mommy, Mommy, cold, cold water,'" Debbie says.
Johnny seemed to be recovering. But as Debbie drove him home from the hospital, the tot stood up in the back seat of the car and stared blankly. He was unresponsive. She turned around and drove back. Johnny finally became responsive, but he couldn't walk.
"They gave me a bottle of red medicine -- it was Phenobarbital -- and sent us home," Debbie says.
Johnny's suffered these small seizures with great frequency, and he was soon diagnosed with right temporal lobe epilepsy. In addition to the seizures, Johnny became disruptive and hyperactive. Little wonder. Each day, he was ingesting 75 milligrams of Dexedrine, a stimulant, and 10 teaspoons of Phenobarbital, a depressant. The Jardines searched frantically for someone who could help their stricken child.
"They really didn't have any solutions," John III says. "They had remedies, and some of them were harmful."
The Jardines were advised to place Johnny in the state hospital, 150 miles distant, when he was only 7. Johnny actually wanted to go, because he wanted desperately to get better. He was housed with adult men and older children. The Jardines were not allowed to see him for a month after his arrival there.
"We went back in 30 days, and Johnny walked right by me -- I didn't even recognize my own son," Debbie says. "He had gained so much weight and they had shaved his head. He was heavily drugged. All his new clothes had been stolen, and they had him in a pair of jeans that would fit his father today."
John III says, "The first few months there were just horrific. You'd go up there and visit and leave and you'd cry all the way home."
Johnny eventually returned home, but his seizures and the medication designed to curb them governed his life. When he was 14, Johnny decided to undergo a temporal lobectomy at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. That surgery, designed to excise the portion of the brain triggering seizures, improved things for a few months.
Johnny managed to get his high school diploma, attending regular classes. When he was 18, he had a second lobectomy. This one was performed in Montreal, and the results were much better. Though the neurosurgeries undermined his small motor skills, Johnny was free of seizures for 12 years. Living on his own, he got a degree from a vocational school in Minneapolis. He got his own car.
John III retired from his job at an office equipment company, and the Jardines relocated to Florida. Johnny joined them there. Not long after arriving, he suffered his first seizure in many years. They would occur infrequently, though.
The Jardines moved to Arizona in 1998. Their daughter Maryanne lives in Nevada, and they wanted to be closer to her and their grandson, Joey. They had friends in Sun Lakes, so that's where they settled.
Johnny, meanwhile, was more driven than ever. He researched university programs that offered special assistance to disabled people. It seemed serendipitous when ASU responded amicably to Johnny's inquiries, and encouraged him to apply under its Disabled Student Resource Program. They promised to accommodate his disabilities -- giving him more times to take tests, for example.
"Even at 37, he wanted to take the world on and make it better," John III says. "When he got the letter of acceptance from ASU, he immediately went and got it laminated, and brought it over to show us."
Johnny came to Arizona ahead of his parents. When he learned that there was a long waiting list for disabled housing, he contacted the office of Senator John McCain. Johnny had a place in downtown Phoenix within days. He got something he'd always wanted, a cat.
Once enrolled in the fall of '98, "He bought all the ASU tee shirts, sweat shirts, the license plate, everything," his father says. "He was so proud that he was part of that. He was going to be something, do something with his life."

Those goals were shattered on March 30, 1999. The Jardines believe the rescue personnel thought he was another college kid on acid.
"It kills me every day of my life that he died like a common criminal," his mother says.

North West Virginia. Over 250 men are
tMptoyed dally In the shaft, and, had the

Little Giant Ladder Founder Hal Wing Passes Away at 7222 Aug, 2012 By: Doug McPherson
SPRINGVILLE, Utah – The direct response industry is mourning the death of one its greatest pioneers: Hal Wing, the founder of Wing Enterprises and the creator of the Little Giant Ladder system. Wing, who became well known for his philanthropy as well as his business acumen, died August 6 from heart complications at age 72.
Wing's patented Little Giant Ladder, which was a multi-million dollar hit on television during the past decade, was inspired upon a trip to Germany in the 1970s, where he saw a ladder prototype. Upon returning to the U.S., he patented his version of the idea and began operating Wing Enterprises out of his home, selling them at fairs and trade shows. Initially, the company was just Wing and his family, assembling and shipping the product from his garage. He then tapped infomercials as a marketing tool that caused demand soared so much he was forced to buy an old dilapidated, abandoned office building to become his new manufacturing plant.
Wing Enterprises has since grown to become the largest manufacturer of American-made ladders with many product lines and with several worldwide patents and trademarks on many innovations in ladder design and manufacturing. What's more, the company's research and development department continues to create new products that continually revolutionize the ladder industry.
Peter Koeppel, owner of Koeppel Direct, a multi-channel DR company in Dallas, calls Wing "an amazing entrepreneur and a great pitchman, who could demonstrate his product better than anyone." He adds, "He was truly one of a kind and I think everyone who had the opportunity to work with him was touched by his passion for life, his product and business and was inspired by his tenacity and success."
Wing also served in both Ronald Reagan's and George H.W. Bush's presidential administrations as a representative at several national conferences on small business. He served as mayor of Springville, Utah, and was twice named the National Republican Party Committee's Businessman of the Year (2003, 2006). He received the 2006 National Entrepreneur of the Year award from Ernst & Young and the Business of the Year award from the Utah County Commission for his company's contributions to the Utah economy. And, in October 2010, Wing became only the fourth person inducted into the Utah Entrepreneurial Hall of Fame.
In 2011, work was completed on Utah Valley University's new Hal Wing Track and Field complex. He made a sizable donation to fund and build the complex. Wing was also known for hiring people other businesses ignored because of criminal records or physical disabilities.
Instead of flowers, the family is asking that people donate to Utah Fast Pass, a charitable organization that provides funds to several groups including the Utah Highway Patrol's (UHP) Honoring Heroes Foundation.

In August 2006, Miami-Dade County's top auditor found evidence that the Wackenhut Corp. had billed the county nearly $1.6-million over a three-year period for 69,000 hours worth of work that its employees — private security guards who patrol Metrorail platforms and trains — were never paid for.
Auditor Cathy Jackson sent those findings, which suggest that the private security firm may have overbilled the county, to Wackenhut that month. They were never publicly released. Nineteen months later, the audit still hasn't come out. Jackson's report is at the center of an unusual lawsuit that accuses Wackenhut of widespread fraud for allegedly overbilling Miami-Dade millions of dollars for unguarded "ghost posts" on the transit system and at the Juvenile Assessment Center.
Wackenhut, which has controlled the Metrorail security contract for nearly 20 years, denies the charges — many of them based on sworn statements from dozens of former guards and managers.

Managed Care Partners - The Benefits of Bloodless Surgery
Managed Care Partners Fall 2013
The Benefits of Bloodless Surgery
Date: November 1, 2013
Hopkins uses some 60,000 units of blood products a year. "That alone," says Steven Frank, "justifies prudence."
A new mission at Johns Hopkins aims to promote more bloodless surgeries, using methods that reduce the need for transfusions.
"We're seeing that we can do a lot more with less blood during surgery and afterward," says anesthesiologist Steven Frank, medical director of
The Johns Hopkins Hospital's Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery.
"Our aim is to reduce transfusions by 10 to 20 percent throughout our medical system."
The tactics used don't only benefit those who refuse transfusions for personal concerns about contamination or for religious beliefs, says Frank: "We've come to see bloodless surgery as best practice
for more patients in general." There is a new trend nationwide toward blood conservation, which lowers risk and costs, and improves outcomes, he says.
Landmark Studies in Bloodless Surgery
Driving the new goal are five landmark studies—the most recent including Johns Hopkins data. Each trial followed large numbers of sick patients experiencing blood loss during hospital stays, comparing survival based on whether or not hemoglobin levels had been boosted by transfusions.
"The bottom line," says Frank, "was that patients held to a lower hemoglobin reading before getting transfusions did just as well or better than those transfused at a traditional higher triggering point. We see no advantages in routinely giving extra blood. All you do is introduce cost and risk."
Transfused patients are two to three times more likely to get acquired infections, he says, and receiving donor blood sparks antibodies that work against future transfusions.
In addition, new research from Frank and colleagues shows that blood starts becoming "stale" after three weeks—far before the common blood bank shelf-life of six weeks. Red blood cell membranes stiffen, which can slow passage of red blood cells through capillaries.
One of the program's aims is reducing blood bank demand. This means going beyond modern tactics that recycle blood lost during surgery, shrink operating fields through robotics or beef up patients' presurgical red cell count. Tactics are increasingly patient-tailored. And research continues on best practice. A large hospital database, for example, showed Frank's team how a simple $9 IV-based device used on one Johns Hopkins critical care unit halved blood loss due to laboratory testing.

Chinese pharmaceutical stocks are offering great bargains for value investors. Pharmaceutical sales in China have been growing at an average annual rate of 15.5% since 2005. This growth is being fueled by rising incomes, a growing middle class and a rapidly aging population. The elderly population in China has grown from 171 million from 130 million over the past decade, and health care spending by the elderly is five times higher than it was in 2000. In addition, Beijing has made health care one of its primary initiatives and plans to spend $123 billion on a universal health care in the next three years. China's pharmaceutical industry is rapidly consolidating, and the market leaders are growing in value. These leaders have several things in common: a strong nationwide sales and distribution network, strong research and development capabilities and access to capital. Although some Chinese pharmaceutical companies trade with price-to-earnings ratios as high as 63, Lotus Pharmaceuticals ( LTUS.OB) has a P/E of only 5.12. You would expect a low P/E to be indicative of a stalwart company. However, Lotus Pharmaceuticals grew revenue at 59% from 2005 to 2008, and net income is up 700% since 2005. The company's revenue comees from a combination of pharmaceuticals wholesaling and the development and sale of proprietary drugs. It plans to continue to grow by expanding distribution channels, expanding production capacity through the building of a large factory and bringing new drugs to the market by partnering with top research institutions. We believe a company this cheap should not be overlooked. In summary, Lotus is a comprehensive company with both strong manufacturing capability and a nationwide distribution network, great research-and-development capabilities with a new drug pipeline and a very attractive valuation.

A Chinese tech website claims to have heard from an Apple engineer who's working on the Chinese-language version of Siri, the clever voice assistant on the iPhone 4S, that it will be available in Chinese (Mandarin) soon.
According to the news, Siri will have the ability to speak in Chinese next month, and is currently being tested internally. It is also rumored that Siri will also be available in Japanese and Russian. There will be hive of activities at Apple next month, as iOS 5.1 is rumored to be launched on March 9 and along with the third generation iPad.
Chinese support for Siri must be given a high priority by Apple, due to the strong growth the company is experiencing in China. The iPhone 4S launched on partner carrier China Unicom last month and China Telecom is touted to be next one.
On iPhone jailbreaking and unlocking side of this news, once iOS 5.1 is released, the current iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak would be patched by Apple. You should expect iPhone basebands to be updated again to seal off any potential exploits for unlocking. Currently, there's still no method of unlock baseband 4.11.08 on iPhone 4.
