Q100's Bert Weiss allowed his nine-year-old son Hayden to wear brown makeup to portray boxing legend Muhammad Ali as part of a school assignment.
Weiss himself said he "flinched" when Hayden told him what he wanted to do.
When Weiss first posed this topic in February to the radio audience, the conversation became heated. Some listeners felt this was a bad idea, that the repercussions would be quite negative given the history of "black face" and minstrel shows in American culture, especially in the 19th century. The practice was to stereotype and mock black people to entertain white people at the time.
But others felt like it was okay because Hayden's intent was "pure," that he merely wanted to honor the legacy of Ali, who fought for equal rights in the 1960s and 1970s. "He was a great American because he stood up for what he believed in," Weiss noted. "He believed he was treated poorly because of the color of his skin."
Hayden would first do an oral essay as Ali in first person, then dress up as Ali. Weiss, unsure what to do, wrote a letter to Ali and his wife Yolanda, which reached the boxer through a mutual friend. They heard through that friend that Ali was okay with it, that they found it offensive anybody would be offended by what Hayden wanted to do. "I literally cried," Weiss said. After Weiss did thorough research on "black face," he decided to allow Hayden to wear the brown make up.
At the school, Weiss said on air this morning, there was no backlash, not even from black families. In fact, a white girl also wore makeup to portray Rosa Parks. He decided not to talk about it on air for a few weeks, to give it some distance from the initial brouhaha. Recently, he heard that Ali wanted to meet Hayden.
Two days ago, when Ali was in Atlanta with his wife, the Weiss family met Ali for 30 minutes in his hotel room. Ali, who is nearing 70 and sufferieng from Parkinson's Disease, was not faring well, Weiss said. But when Ali saw Weiss' two sons, including Hayden, he brightened.
Hayden read his essay to Ali. Ali was visibly affected. He hugged Hayden. He held onto the essay and wouldn't let go. Weiss said Ali wanted the essay in his museum.
On air, Hayden called the experience "awesome." Stacy tearfully said this was one of the most touching days of her life, after marrying Bert and the birth of her two sons.
Weiss said he was at peace with his decision, even though a lot of people will not like it.
"If it offends you," Weiss said on air, "we'll have to agree to disagree."

Who is Bert Weiss?

I am a fan of The Bert Show and have been following the quandry Bert thought he might be in if he allowed Hayden to portray Muhammed Ali. I so very glad he allowed him to go ahead with his project. I'm also glad that young Hayden had the opportunity to meet the person he admired. For such a young child to understand all that he understands in his short 9 years of life is inspiring.
"If it offends you," Weiss said on air, "we'll have to agree to disagree." – When he said this, I smiled and did a little clap while driving into work.

Bert Weiss is a father, a husband and he has his own radio show = The Bert Show on Q100. Check him out. It's a great show.

Our goal was to raise our future generations to love and respect people of all colors. We're pretty darn close to that goal -and if we truly want to abolish racism, we have to allow for respectful demonstrations like Hayden's. That leaders of all colors are being honored and lifted up by our children today, shows that we've on the right path.
And truly the greatest form of flattery is imitation. I see no reason why any child should be looked down upon for dressing up as one of their heroes. Hayden doesn't see a "black man" when he looks at Ali -he just sees a great man that he'd like to be like. That was our goal. Now we, the older generations have to recognize it and respect it -and let our old defenses go. Let the children lead the way and applaud them for it.

Wow, must be a really slow news day!
I do have one burning question though…why would he pimp his son out just make himself look enlightened?
April 20th, 2012

People who are upset by this is the reason this country still has issues. Great parenting lesson Bert thanks for the help… I listen when you talk about how you and Stacie are helping your kids….. My wife and I have used some of your tactics…

Also what is Wendy's role in the Show?
Jenn – FSU no matter What she does its ok? Really adds to the show and interviews…
Jeff- Smart Ass = Awesome
Kristen – The chick you want in your group. Plus she is HOT!!!!!
Bert- His show and very open which is rare and cool
Wendy – Traffic and whinning about crap… NOT SURE… But she is a pretty face…..
April 20th, 2012
9:29 am
I can answer that. Wendy's job is to ask "What does that word mean," talk in a contrived little girl voice, and never have an opinion of her own. She always waits to hear someone else's opinion because she is weak-minded and insecure. She let JH know how much she admired Jenn, and Wendy became Jenn's project — got her started reading traffic and then helped her get a permanent spot on the show. I really have never heard someone on a radio station with such poor grammar. She adds NOTHING.
Kudos to Bert for going ahead Hayden's representation of Muhammed!

Happy ending to the story. You will never make everyone happy!
April 20th, 2012

Bert did not pimp his son out, nor did he do this for publicity ratings. If you knew the background of his relationship with his own father you would quickly realize he would NEVER, EVER jeopardize his love for his children and how they see and feel about their father. He was torn between what his son wanted to do. He researched it, asked a gazillion of questions, weighed the pros and cons, and in the end did the right thing.

I'm Black and I think this is a great story, this little boy just wanted to do an essay on someone he liked, it was not about race, it was about one of his heros, We all use to be like this, before we taught to hate.

Bert Weiss is a racist!!!!!!! HYPOCRITES…..if this was a conservative that did this you would all be whining
April 20th, 2012

Ummmm… Did anyone forget the movie "White Chicks"? Not fair to blast white people when black people do the same thing. If we're gonna be racist, it's only ethical to recognize BOTH sides of the aisle.

why not just get the damn kid a Ali Mask so he can do it stupid report…..they have to use black face? The SCHOOL IS RACIST AS WELL!!

@Kay, I am black as well and I am not offended. To each their own, but everyone is not going to agree with everything a person does. Agree to disagree. It doesn't affect your household or your life, so leave it alone, Voice of Reason!
April 20th, 2012
10:03 am
Wow! I like this! As Black folks, we spend an enormous amount of time being offended and not enough time educating folks. Yes, we have come a long way, but if we don't embrace ALL of our history (good and painful), we will never get to where we need to be.

There was similar mess after Billy Crystal dressed up as Sammy Davis Jr at the Oscars (for about ten seconds in a parody of "Midnight in Paris.") If you're representing a specific person, why is it offensive to look like him?
Blackface minstrels were generic characters reinforcing negative stereotypes.

My comment is if everyone thinks it is fine then why was there a debate between Bert and his wife? I would say because this is the south and no matter how hard people want to believe racism is dead since we have a mixed race President we all know that is not the case. I understand why some people think this should be fine and I also understand why people didn't like it. The real issue has multiple layers from politics,voting, news stories to seeing real diversity on tv to behind the cameras etc. This is why some people take issue with such a situation. Yes there are more important issues always. I just find it funny that the black guy who I haven't heard speak in a while was on the show this morning talking about this issue.(does anyone know if he has been on the show in recent days/weeks before today? just asking).Why is it that Allen West face is trotted out to talk about Nugent's stupid comments? We all know why! Also think about changing this up and have a hispanic/asian/black child put on a yarmulke and some long curly locks and see that reaction or those same children putting on some straw hats,overalls and blacken out their teeth. Everyone is fine with everything until it impacts them. I care about the economic the racism is something for others to worry about. I worry about employment and jobs for people. That is the diversity I care about. Who is getting a steady paycheck. I find it funny that DWTS has no black dancers(to sterotype -aren't blacks are suppose to be good at that but the show imported foreign dancers). wow diversity lololol yes I am black

This dribble qualifies as journalism? No wonder ajc is in the crapper. Let's lay off some more serious reporters so we can read about make-up. Tomorrow we will be doing a story of a colonoscopy with a camera on the bert show……..

Why aren't we offended by the fact that Ali hates America, was a draft dodger, renounced his citizenship, renounced his religion, etc. What a great "role model". He should have followed his medal off that bridge in Louisville.

Bert decided to do this because he could do it. There was no benefit in him allowing his kid to do this. He knew that it bothered others and he was not sensitive in the way that it could hurt others. I don't think Bert is a racist because of this, but he is an elitist. I wonder how he would like it if a black kid decided to be painted as a white person…that alone wouldn't balance things out in regard to racism, so let's say the kid portrays Hilter. Now that would offend a lot of people and open up some wounds. A responsible decision from a parent should be made to not have their kid in a position to offend anyone. And he really wonders why his kid is being bullied?
April 20th, 2012

Funny headline…"Bert Weiss at peace with son's makeup". Sounds like he was worried that he was cross-dressing.

This day at school is always fun for the kids – it's usually called VIP day. Each kid selects an historic person (alive or dead) to portray and learn about. The parents and other teachers "visit" each student's desk where the children are asked questions – specific questions from a set of prepared ones. My kid loved this day. I never saw anyone change their skin color – but lots of hair color changes! I've seen white kids portray black people but never black kids portray white people. I think it's good to be proud of people of your own race, but also to explore the other(s).
Was it "black face" or the harsh spray tan like Bert uses?

This is one of the most absurd things that I've heard of in a while. It's comical when the people try to tell someone that something is not offensive. Newsflash, if it offends someone, regardless of intent, then it is "offensive". Yes, the young boy was totally "pure" in his intentions. He heard about Ali, did the research, really admired the man and wanted to portray him for his project. I get that, but as a parent it's your job to take a situation like that and make it a teachable moment. Let this child know that you understand his intent, but there is a painful past behind that practice. There are tons of people in the world that try to downplay the hurtfulness and the disrespect that "blackface" brings about. Would it be ok if a student chose to do research on Adolph Hitler for a project and came to school dressed in the full Nazi garb, swastika and all? This would be clearly inappropriate, just as inappropriate as a child putting on brown make-up to portray a black person. Although Ali stated he was okay, with the little boy portraying him in brown make up, when did Muhammad Ali become the end all be all when it comes to determining whether something is appropriate or inappropriate? If you have to ask if something is inappropriate or not, 9 times out of 10 it probably is inappropriate.

I'm somewhat shocked. I work as a social studies teacher and we produce a fair every year. Students dress as famous figures from a specific country's history. I would never suggest that they change their skin tone to mimic their figure.
It's honestly a little insulting because it implies that by simply darkening his skin he will look like Muhammad Ali, which is of course a completely inane conclusion. We sometimes get inane conclusions from children, it's up to an adult to straighten things out. Doesn't seem like Bert did so this time.
April 20th, 2012

I think the Hitler analogy goes too far.
You should've picked Napolean — he and Bert are both short.

I'm glad that Bert allowed his son to wear the makeup. It is long past time for people to get over their hangups. Yes, there is a history of disrespect, denigration, murder, mockery, and many other heinous crimes. However, we must work to get beyond those things and drawing psuedo lines because one lacks control of their emotions is no means of doing that.
April 20th, 2012
12:19 pm
Good Job Bert! I think its' great that you brought this topic to an open air forum aka Bert Show, kuddos to you for continuing to keep the conversation flowing between cultures and furthermore skin tones. I don't think we can ever talk about this enough, as I am Bi-racial and stuck in between my entire life! Love this show!!
April 20th, 2012

No one has mentioned how ugly that little boy's shirt was!! Seriously?!?! And how about braces, Bert and Stacy? Stacy, you have fake boobs. How about doing something cosmetic for your son?
April 20th, 2012
12:32 pm
@ RK, The Hitler analogy was used because of the level of offense that could be taken by seeing a child dressing in this manner. Although, some people may not be offended by seeing a child dressed in Nazi attire for a school presentation, there are many people that would be offended. Trust me when I say there is nothing remotely appropriate about a white person dressing up with brown or black make-up to portray someone black. Its not just not okay. I'm not trying to convince anyone to feel this way, because you either understand it or you don't.
April 20th, 2012
1:01 pm
I can understand how this could be bad 10 years ago, but we all must move on! I applaud Burt for what he did and it was done with respect. Those that are still bothered need to understand that many of us no matter what race, religion etc…..have been made fun of, laughed at or totally discriminated against. Times have changed and those that are still holding on to the past need to get over it. I am so tired of the race card being thrown out. I just moved back to Atlanta from New England and everyone gets along. Move on people and lets celebrate where we are today. I love everyone one, every color and every sex! Lets just be happy!

First, Kirsten should be on TV, not radio. She is so beautiful! What a gorgeous mane of hair!
I really enjoyed this debate! (But nobody can drag out a story like Bert Weiss can! It took him 45 minutes to tell it this morning, then he "caught ppl up" after the extra-long commercial break.) I wish they would continue with deeper topics (such as this) instead of so many "ALL men think this way, ALL women think that way" and silly relationship bits. So grateful Jan isn't coaching women how to get a date via text anymore, though. Jan, you sarcastically called Kristin's affinity for shoes "deep." Um — said the pot to the kettle.
Yes, TBS — more debates/discussions such as this!!! Great topic, and I learned some things.

Tuscaloosa Habitat for Humanity has handed over the keys to a brand new house in time for the upcoming holiday.
Habitat dedicated a house on Juanita Drive in the Alberta City area of Tuscaloosa.
Applause was in order when Sharon Horn received the keys to her brand new home thanks to Habitat for Humanity in Tuscaloosa.
The tornado survivor lived off University Boulevard in the Alberta City area in 2011 when the storm hit.
She said her home was destroyed. But horn believes out of the tragedy came good, hundreds of volunteers who put in lots of hard work on her behalf.
Horn said, "They were some of the most amazing people that you ever wanted to meet. I mean there was compassion. They were really humble and meek and considerate of you and your situation. And they really put forth a lot of work and just comfort you to let you know that it is well."
Knowing that her mom is well in her new home, Horn's daughter said, makes it a little easier to leave town in two weeks.
But before her daughter goes, the new homeowner said she's got an idea on how to keep her busy…moving. The new homeowner plans to move in over the July 4th weekend.
Habitat for Humanity purchased 34 lots, including Horn's on Juanita Drive.

Eusebio, the 'Black Panther' who lit up 1966 World Cup
Eusebio da Silva Ferreira (left) and German forward Gerd Mueller at an awards ceremony in Paris on October 20, 1973
The top scorer in the 1966 World Cup and considered one of the best footballers of all time, Eusebio da Silva Ferreira died of cardio-pulmonary arrest early on Sunday morning.
"Eusebio will always be eternal. Rest in peace," wrote Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of the Portuguese national team, in a message posted on his Facebook account alongside a photo of himself and Eusebio.
The top Portuguese footballer of all time Eusebio rivalled all-time greats including Brazilian Pele, Argentina's Alfredo Di Stefano and England's Bobby Charlton.
"I was the best player in the world, top scorer in the world and Europe. I did everything, except win a World Cup," Eusebio said in a interview in 2011, recalling his tears after Portugal's loss in the 1966 World Cup semi-final to England.
From humble origins in the former Portuguese colony of Mozambique, Eusebio da Silva Ferreira was to emerge as one of the World Cup's most feared strikers, combining panther-like pace with a ferocious shooting ability.
Known throughout his career simply as Eusebio, the poor boy from Maputo became a legend for his exploits with Portugal and Lisbon giants Benfica during the 1960s.
Born in 1942, he rose to prominence in Mozambique football circles as a teenager through his performances for Sporting Lourenco Marques, a team with links to Sporting Lisbon.
With his exceptional technique, strength and goal-scoring record, it was not long before word of Eusebio's prowess soon filtered back to Portugal. In December 1960 he was offered trials with Sporting.
Although keen, Eusebio was not willing to risk leaving his beloved mother unless there was the firm promise of a contract. Sporting baulked, creating an opening for Benfica, who snapped up the youngster's signature.
A wrangle with Sporting Lourenco Marques over Eusebio's registration was finally settled, and in 1961 he made his debut for the club, scoring a hat-trick in a friendly.
Over the next five years, Eusebio developed as one of world football's best players.
In an early game for Benfica, he had outshone Pele in a friendly with Santos, and in 1962 he scored the crucial goals in a 5-3 victory over Real Madrid in the European Cup final.
When Madrid's legendary Hungarian Ferenc Puskas symbolically handed his jersey to Eusebio after the match, the message was clear - the torch had passed, and in 1965 Eusebio was named European Player of the Year.
1966 World Cup exploits
But while Eusebio excelled with Benfica in Europe, it was his exploits at the 1966 World Cup for which he will be best remembered.
Eusebio's nine goals in England propelled Portugal to a third-place finish, and a succession of opposing teams simply had no answer to the power and pace of his play.
He scored twice in the 3-1 victory which sent holders Brazil out of the competition, showing great technique to lash home a spectacular volley for his second goal.
In the quarter-finals Eusebio was unstoppable, pulling off a one-man rescue act after Portugal went 3-0 down against North Korea after just 20 minutes.
The Koreans were blown away by a four-goal display from Eusebio as the Portuguese won 5-3.
In the semi-final against England Eusebio was effectively marked out of the match but he did find the net again. He scored his ninth of the tournament in the third-place play-off win over the Soviet Union.
He finished his 64-cap career having accumulated 41 goals for Portugal. He also earned European football's Golden Boot award twice and was Portugal's top scorer every season between 1964 and 1973.
He helped Benfica to 10 league championships and five domestic cups. He also appeared on the losing side in the European Cup finals of 1963 and 1968.
In 1975 he joined the flow of players involved in the ill-fated North American Soccer League, before retiring in 1979 after winding down his career in Mexico and Portugal.
In retirement he became an ambassador for Benfica and the Portuguese football federation. Always present at major events, he rubbed shoulders with current stars, among them the young Ronaldo, now the Portugal captain, and the only one who could one day dethrone 'The King'.

Me Slacking and some Pocket Rocket thoughts
I've been sick and kinda "out of it" this past week so I haven't had a chance to play with the Elise much or mess with the iPod situation much more. Hopefully this coming will be better and I'll get some more quality Lotus time.
The Garage Blog had a great post a couple of days ago about the state of current "Pocket Rockets" and how the US (or world in general) is currently lacking in what boomed in the 80's and early 90's as the entry level sportscars. Cars like the VW Rabbit GTI, Honda Civic Si, Suzuki Swift GT, etc all helped introduce and define a lot of today's current automotive enthusiasts. I'm one of those enthusiasts. My first REAL automotive passion was the Volkswagen Rabbit. I've owned probably 6 or 7 total and still consider those cars to be just barely a notch below the Elise. That probably sounds strange to some but when you strip away price, comfort features, numbers, etc and get down to the feeling you get while driving and the experience of driving it shouldn't be all that strange. Both cars are very nimble for their time, everything seems to be placed exactly where it should be, both are extremely good bargains considering the cars they hold their own against, etc.
Anyway, the point is that there really isn't a good "VW Rabbit" of today. There are some "almost Rabbits" in my opinion but they are just too pricey to even be compared to it. I wish automakers could go back to "the basics" and get the driving experience back. Lotus sure as hell accomplished it with the Elise but it would be great to see Volkswagen or another company deliver a competitve & very fun to drive little car for $10,000 or so. That probably won't happen for a while (if ever) though so for now I'll stick with the Elise and probably (in the near future) a G60 Rabbit (Rabbit with supercharged 1.8 from VW Corrado).
Check out the post on TheGarageBlog for the full article.

Ok so its getting around to that time of year again where I feel more aged, slow, etc.... and get another candle on the cake (the worst part is the older you get the faster you have to blow before the top melts from the heat!)
Anyway family always keep mentioning that "you need a little camera" and to a certain extent I agree with them - DSLRs are great, but a 7D, 580flash and a modest lens (like say a 70-200mm or even 150mm) is just way to heavy and bulky for family days out - trips and general travel.
So I need something smaller - but the market here appears to have exploded into whole varieties of point and shoots - bridges - mini DSLRs and hybrids. So I'm left a little lost as to which to focus on - so any here got any advice?
1) Smaller, and lighter than a DSLR setup
2) Long focal range coverage - long end especially - something around 400mm equivalent
3) Manual controls - aperture, ISO, shutter speed and focus (if at all possible physical manual focus not the electronic kind)
4) Expandable - if I can work with my flash units or with flash on a radio remote or something that would be great
5) Good overall image quality (yeah expected ).
I'm not opposed to a smaller interchangeable lens setup provided that its not going to turn into a massive money sinkhole to get all the features I feel I need.
Macro I'm not too worried about - almost all smaller cameras do close up well and I've my Raynox DCR 250 to boost the magnification (though manual focus control becomes more critical again).
So is there anything out there that might come close to fitting some/all these requirements? I've not put a budget on this as yet - I don't know what area of the market I'm really looking at to tell as yet.
Go Micro Four-Thirds............ the quality of a crop DSLR and the compactness of a large compact!
Get the basic two lens kit and add other lenses (quite cheaply) via adapter. Am I sounding like a convert - you betcha! (Erm, so long as video isn't too important!)
Speaking of getting old; went in to the doctor last week to get my prescriptions renewed. She asked me how I felt. I said I had a cold, and if I stood up quickly, or rolled over quickly in bed, I got a bit dizzy. She replied, in her British accent; "Hmmm...you'll have to slow down then, won't you."
Olympus E-P1 + any adapters for your existing glass.
Versatile? No 1
Versatile? No 2
(Check the lenses used Alex )
I like working in RAW, its easy to adjust and control - but whilst its desirable I'm not putting it on this list as a demand - nice if it offers it, but the other features (size and reach) are more important I feel.
The Micro 4/3rds does sound interesting - and I could pair it with a cheap, small and light 70-300mm (feels like going back to when I first got a DSLR then). But handholding is a little worry - the camera looks good, but holding it I'd be wanting to put the (non-existent) viewfinder up to my eye rather than shoot from a tripod. Also if I've got a regular 70-300mm or similar, to carry then I'm also back at a 400D without a battery grip sized setup. (an option, but if I head down that path I end up adding all the extras back in really fast).
Quote: Also if I've got a regular 70-300mm or similar, to carry then I'm also back at a 400D without a battery grip sized setup
Even fitted with a 40-140 (80-300) the Micro 4/3 set up is going to be way smaller. I`ve been adding up the pro`s and cons between Panasonic and Olympus.
Most of the Panasonic's have built in view finders, IS is in most of their lenses but not all.
Olympus has no viewfinder, one can be picked up separately for about £200, but the Pens have in built IS that will work with any lens mounted.
The pen would be my choice even with the cost of the eye piece included, in body IS with any lens fitted makes the extra £200 needed for the viewfinder pretty cheap.
I`ve played around with a few old lenses mounted via an adapter on my E3, the 135mm Tamron f2.5 becomes a 270mm f2.5, and my old Vivitar series 1 200mm f3 (that I have yet to try) becomes a 400mm f3 and these lenses can be picked up for peanuts.
Ahh I'd forgotten about the crop factor trickery coming into play!
I must admit the system is starting to look attractive - manual controls on the camera; the viewfinder (anything in this size range is going to end up electronic viewfinder anyway I suspect) and the option of manual focusing and zoom on lenses and not the fiddly electronic type I've encountered in bridge cameras
I have the Panasonic GF1 and love it.
The only thing it doesn't have is the viewfinder but to be honest ....... I bought it as a weight saver as I carry a camera all the time. If I am going to do anything serious or where the viewfinder is almost essential (macro, sports, airshows ets) then I use the big camera anyway.
I bought the body with 14-45mm and 20mm pancake lens (the 20mm is a killer) and my wife was good enough to buy the 45-200mm lens...... so I have everything I need and at much less weight and size. With the crop factors taken into consideration the 45-200 becomes 90-400 (as near the same as the 70-300 Nikon I have) but the lens is 2/3rds the size and weight. It doesn't sound a lot but makes a heck of a difference when carrying it all day.
I read a load of test reports and tried handling both the Pen and the GF1 before buying and I much prefered the GF1 as it felt better in my hand and the easy of use when it came to the set-up and menus etc was streets ahead. The high end ISO was also a real eye opener for me (being used to the D200 and its relatively 'old' technology in this department).
If I am feeling lazy or needing a take a shot quickly in tricky/low lighting etc, turning the control dial to Inteligent Auto will - in virtualy all cases - get the shot and it has the advantage over virtually all compacts and 'auto' settings in that turning up the ISO is the last resort so the chances of noise are reduced
I've been making noises to the wife about Canon's G12, I've heard some really good reports on it and it has all the creative control I'd require. It ain't cheap mind you and it might not reach your focal requirement, but it might still be worth a look?
M4/3rds is definitely the answer. Already having an Olympus E620 with lenses, I got a GF1 with 14-45, 20mm and the Adaptor to take 4/3rds. Superb. But it still lacked something - a proper viewing experience. This year I bought a Lumix G2, it's the perfect solution - small, versatile, fully equipped, excellent handling and an amazingly good EVF to complement the must-have free-angle rear screen. Results are brilliant, and I get all my kit, which includes an Olympus 40-150mm, into a small Tamrac hip bag that altogether weighs under 2.5kgs. Absolutely no bother to carry around all day, and I'm 69 this year. The GH2 gives better IQ, but is MUCH dearer - have you seen the price of the G2 recently? For all that technology, it's a steal. No worries with crop factors either - just double everything! And ignore the idiots who say the touch-screen is pointless, it has a couple of tricks that make life easier and you can either use it or not, Panasonic doesn't insist you do. The only caveat I have is - the earlier 14-45mm Lumix is a better lens than the current 14-42mm..... glad I kept mine.
John the Lumix G series that you mention does look very attractive as a smaller camera, but with a more SLR hold and feel to it. My one bane with considering the Oly Pen series (and I do like the overall idea of the camera) is that even with its viewfinder it looks more delicate and more intended for being held at arms length for taking shots - it just does not look like it would fit the hand as well as something like the Lumix.
Downside to the Lumix is size is getting a little bigger (got to be careful not to let this choice creep me back up in size to full SLR size) - though from looking at pics no bigger than, say, a Fuji bridge camera.

Maybe its a marmite type thing I`ve personally liked the feel with lenses mounted to both body types.

If you could meet your kid self, what would you say to him or her? Do you think he/she would be proud to meet you?
My papa always told me "Maria, everything happens for a reason. God has the perfect plan for you, just believe in yourself" and I could never fully grasp what he meant. Today, as a college student aspiring to dreams bigger than myself, I understand what he means. I understand that every small and big moment in my life that hurt me led to greater achievements. I wish I could go back and tell myself "Don't worry so much!"

You will someday know this is also true.
"Nirvana is this moment seen directly. There is no where else than here. The only gate is now. The only doorway is your own body and mind. There's nowhere to go. There's nothing else to be. There's no destination. It's not something to aim for in the afterlife. It's simply the quality of this moment."- Buddha
It would have helped if I could have explained this to you then.
Happiness is not found in religion or any mankind. It is found within, it is understanding, it is contentment.

"Healthy people play, unhealthy people fight"- Keith W Henline
Bruce Lee is an example.. Most the people he came in contact with wanted to fight him, that is because of there own unhealthy insecurities. A really good fighter like Bruce Lee who was healthy and secure in his own knowledge did not want to fight and would play instead with an opponent. Most martial art schools are not about fighting but rather about protection and learning how to avoid a fight. Monks are another even better example- they can be warriors but they live for peace. Even though they are the best fighters in the world they do everything in their power to avoid a fight.

David Colbert
What The?!?!?!
Metropolitan Room
Colbert's been touring the country in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, winning awards in every regional venue from Philadelphia to Sarasota. The Metropolitan Room was packed wall to wall and there was laughter when Colbert's recognizable voice on the sound system welcomed us to the Metropolitan Room and advised us that no photography or recording was permitted, and demanded that we turn off the "Goddamn" cellphones! Racing barefoot up to the stage in black jeans, black shirt and a tie, he immediately demonstrated his great mime and dance techniques as he rocked the room with a strong medley of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, a recitation of the poem "Risking Absurdity" by Lawrence Felinghetti, Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and Kool and the Gang's "Celebration." During this medley, Colbert jumped all over the stage, played with the mandatory stool, riffed with his hot musicians (Charles Lindberg, piano; Justin Hines, percussion, Matthew Scharflass, bass/electric bass/guitar) and mimed swimming on top of the piano. It was a brilliant opening, also enchanced by singers Tanya Holt and Karen Mack. The explosive and flawless show was directed by the award winner comedienne/singer Kristine Zbornik.
Standing on top of the piano in his bare feet, Colbert told us when he was three years old in 1978, he heard his older brothers playing in the yard below. He went out his window moving to the very edge of the roof, and, to attract their attention, began dancing and stripping, first removing his belt, then his shirt, then his pants, and was about to remove his underwear when suddenly his mother appeared and dragged him back into the house. Taking a stance stage center with bowler hat and cane, Colbert sang, unmiked, in old vaudeville style, "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" (Harburg-Gorney,) marching into the audience, breaking our hearts with lyrics right out of today's headlines. At this moment Colbert reminded me of the late Danny Meehan (original Broadway cast, Funny Girl) who also was a great mime and whose signature song in his nightclub act was "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out." Colbert described his loneliness by singing Queen's "Find Me Somebody to Love." He decided to go on Craig's List for a date. The Doors' "People Are Strange" was sung, breaking up each chorus with the recitation of the extremely funny responses to his ad from, among others, a 72-year-old, an underage teenager, and a big lumberjack in Idaho. As Lindberg tinkered with "Eleanor Rigby" during his readings, Colbert kept returning to "People Are Strange" to hilarious effect! But then he changed pace and did a beautiful gentle ballad, bemoaning "the simples things/where have they all gone/why don't we go" in "Somewhere Only We Know" (Kean.)
Back to his childhood, he told another revealing personal story about a rejection by a girl when he was eight years old, and finding solace playing in the mud with his best friend. Joyously, he sang a song found in a children's book, "(I Wanna Be Your) Personal Penquin," (Sandra Boynton) recorded by Davy Jones of the Monkees.
Colbert did a survey in Times Square, asking people, "Will you tell me about your faith?" Some responses were moving, some hysterically funny. This led into the deeply exquisite and moving "Prayer" (Carole Bayer Sager & David Foster,) sung with Tanya Holt and Karen Mack, alternating in English and Italian, blending into the women singing "I Say a Little Prayer" (Bacharach-David) and Colbert suddenly using his deep Motown bass baritone voice on a lyric meant to be sung by a woman. The three alternated solos and harmonized in glorious musical collaboration.
Another confession about a high school infatuation led into the humorous "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman, a loud rock song, with the recurrent refrain of "she's got a fast car" and hard rock repetition of "driving". Colbert then read a verse from Samuel Beckett "Source of Enchantment" and bounced into Rufus Wainwright's "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk."
Suddenly defiant, Colbert exploded with "I Just Wanna Dance" by Richard Thomas, which has an intro that states "I don't give a f*** if people think I'm a whore, I just wanna dance." Jumping on the piano again, he undid his belt; and we suddenly saw again the three-year-old exhibitionist, now grown up, happily stripping down to a shining g-string, with not an inch of body fat!. Not since Jack Wrangler's act at the Grand Finale has there been such a spectacular climax to a cabaret act.
Placing a robe over his buff body, Colbert told us he'd been working with Bobby Peaco on a musical on the life of Julian Eltinge, the female impersonator who was a major vaudeville success, a star in silent movies, and even had a Times Square theater named after him (Now the AMC Empire). In 1940, Eltinge was to open his expensive act in Los Angeles when suddenly the police department decided that no man could appear in female apparel in a show. Eltinge was forced to do his show in a tuxedo singing to mannequins dressed in his elegant gowns. Colbert sang "Once," a dramatic ballad which Eltinge sings to plead his case before a judge:
"Once we sang our songs and told our stories in a bar
It was a stunning finish to a unique and very special act by an artist who everyone interested in the future art of cabaret must see!
David Colbert returns to the Metropolitan Room Sunday, Feb. 8 at 7 pm.

Police make two arrests after an early Wednesday morning robbery, but another suspect is still on the run.
A man and woman woke up around 12 a.m. in the 2000 block of Timber Hill Road to find three armed men in their home. Police say the suspects attacked the male victim and inappropriately touched the female victim, then stole items from the home. The suspects also stole the victim's car.
Police say they found two of the suspects nearby. Police are still looking for the third suspect and the victim's stolen vehicle.
Carl Johnson, 21, and Faheem Jordan, 21, were arrested and charged with robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, breaking and entering, conspiracy to commit a felony, aggravated sexual battery, grand larceny and vandalism. They are being held without bond.
The third suspect is described as a black male, about 5'6" tall. He was wearing an oversized black hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, a black-and-white bandana, a fisherman-style hat and black footwear. He may still have the victim's vehicle, a silver 2011 Hyundai Sonata, Virginia tag KDS8065.
Police say the suspects and victims may know each other.

Money, Financial Markets, and Monetary Policy
A Step Toward Neutral
The Federal Open Market Committee kept rates unchanged at the August 7 meeting; the federal funds rate has remained at 5.25 percent since July 2006. While the committee did not change rates, it changed the postmeeting statement to acknowledge that "Financial markets have been volatile in recent weeks, credit conditions have become tighter for some households and businesses, and the housing correction is ongoing." Still, the committee maintained that growth is likely to continue at a moderate pace, citing "solid growth in employment and incomes" and "a robust global economy" in support of that view.
The committee acknowledged an increase in the downside risks to growth while maintaining that its "predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected." While the increased discussion of the downside risks to growth was seen by many as a step toward neutral, the implied probability of a rate cut in either September or October actually fell slightly following the meeting. These declines occurred as the probability of no change in both September and October increased.
Judging from the behavior of implied probabilities of federal funds futures, the market had already factored in a possible change in the statement language, since in the weeks leading up to the FOMC meeting, the probability of a rate cut increased. On July 26 the probability that the fed would cut rates in September increased 15 percent, sparked by a particularly disappointing release on new home sales. June new home sales were down 22 percent from June 2006 and 6.6 percent from the previous month. Markets now place nearly a 40 percent probability on the possibility that the Fed will cut rates by the October meeting.
The volatility of financial markets was mentioned in the statement, after the S&P 500 fell almost 6 percent in the slightly over two-week period leading up to the meeting. This decline was primarily influenced by concerns about subprime failures and credit-risk repricing. While the market has undeniably been volatile on a daily basis over the past two weeks, this volatility rapidly disappears when the market is averaged over even a weekly basis. On a weekly basis, the current volatility in the S&P 500 is not particularly different from the movement of the market over the last several years.
Nevertheless, the market bears watching in light of the drop over the last couple of weeks. Large drops in the stock market are correlated with oncoming recessions. As it now stands, the declines have only reversed the gains the market had achieved over the previous two months. However, if these declines were to continue, concerns about a future recession may increase.

BOSTON (CBS News) - Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 counts including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill.
He entered the plea Wednesday in federal court in Boston.
For first one, he leaned toward a microphone and said, "Not guilty," in a Russian accent. He then said not guilty repeatedly about a half-dozen more times.
According to CBS affiliate WBZ reporter Jim Armstrong, Tsarnaev entered the courtroom with a brace on his left arm and hand. His hair is messy and long.
Federal prosecutors are weighing whether to pursue the death penalty for the 19-year-old Tsarnaev.
Authorities say he and an older brother, Tamerlan, planted two bombs, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 at the April 15 marathon. The older brother was killed three days later following a shootout with police. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was later found hiding in a boat in a suburban backyard.
The courtroom was crowded with spectators, including family members of the bombing victims. According to WBZ's Beth Germano, the 110 seats in the courtroom were not enough to accommodate the number of people who arrived.
The arraignment marks his first public appearance since he was arrested April 19.

St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231)
St. Anthony of Padua was a Franciscan Priest from Portugal. He was a great preacher and miracle-worker. During a time when heresies were causing confusion, St. Anthony's homilies and street preaching had converted many back to the true faith. It was said that even the fish from the ocean would come and listen to him! Many people today ask St. Anthony for help when they lose something. He is the patron saint of lost items! His feast day is on 13 June.

Addiction — We all have our addictions. Some obvious, some more subtle. What is addiction and what is choice? What is slavery and what is freedom? How to tell?
Three years ago, I began to address this idea in a controlled manner. The only way to distinguish freedom from slavery was to drop anything that I suspected was an addiction for a month (there is a scientific reason rehabilitation clinics are centred around 28 days). If I was still desirous of the suspected addiction, I would try it again and see how I felt. Of course there is a big difference between addiction and enjoyment: something for enjoyment is done once in a while with intention and mindfulness. Things which support your bio-system and consciousness. Life-force enhancing.
My expermient was a big breakthrough. I gave up commercial salt and over-salting, an every so often junk food binge, a serious party addiction and so much more.
The entire consumer-based society is largely based selling you your addictions. Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs (commercial and recreational), chocolate, coffee, food, sex, exercise, information, electronics — All ways to boost one neurotransmitter or another. Top scientists are employed to explore vulnerabilities in the human psyche and then hit exactly that. They do what they do to maximise profits. The perfect consumer is a lifetime customer. So the goal is to get you addicted.
The question is, are you fine with being a cog in that machine? On the hamster wheel from one addiction to another – Using your life-force up. Do you believe you are in "lack" or you are perfect the way you are in "need" of nothing. Hamster or divine? The only way out of that paradigm is to break any suspected addiction.

FAA Proposes Safety Improvements for Flight Attendants
One provision of the Congressional FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 required the FAA to develop a policy under which the requirements of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration could apply to cabin crewmembers. The FAA's aviation safety regulations always take precedence, but OSHA might be able to enforce certain occupational safety and health standards currently not covered by FAA oversight.
"Under this proposal, flight attendants would, for the first time, be able to report workplace injury and illness complaints to OSHA for response and investigation," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Issues could include exposure to noise and blood-borne pathogens, and better access to information on hazardous chemicals.
The FAA and OSHA will continue to identify any additional conditions where OSHA requirements could apply as long as suggestions do not affect aviation safety. A 30-day comment period is now open.

5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
St. Jude Medical
Another stock that insiders are jumping into here is St. Jude Medical (STJ), which develops, manufactures and distributes cardiovascular medical devices for the management of chronic pain. Insiders are buying this stock into some modest strength, since shares are up 11% so far in 2012.
St. Jude Medical has a market cap of $12 billion and an enterprise value of $13.5 billion. This stock trades at a reasonable valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 16.06 and a forward price-to-earnings of 10.62. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 4.6%, and for next year it's pegged at 5%. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $1.05 billion and its total debt is $2.52 billion.>>10 Stock Picks of the Highest-Rated Money Managers A director just bought 25,000 shares, or about $966,000 worth of stock, at $38.65 per share. From a technical perspective, STJ is currently trending below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending badly for the last month, with shares moving lower from $43.76 to $37.78 a share. During that downtrend, shares of STJ have gapped down once, and mostly made lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock has started to find some buying interest at around $38 a share, as shares have moved into oversold territory. The current relative strength index (RSI) for STJ is 32.04, which indicates an oversold condition. If you're in the bull camp on STJ, then I would look for long-biased as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $37.78 a share with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above its three-month average action of 2.7 million shares as bullish. If STJ can maintain that trend, then look to add to any long positions once STJ takes out $40.43 to $41 a share with high volume.

IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard released the following statement:
"We feel we need to give our technical team ample time to conduct thorough testing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, once we complete our ongoing investigation into the 15-car accident during the Oct. 16 race at the track."
The 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series opens March 25 with the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

EDMONTON - For Oilers captain Andrew Ference, marching in the 34th annual Edmonton Pride Parade in support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is "kind of a no-brainer."
No-brainer or not, Ference is the first member of the Oilers to participate in the Edmonton Pride Parade, and almost certainly the first pro athlete from any sport to take part in the local event, said Kris Wells, director of programs and services for the University of Alberta Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services.
In an era that has seen the first openly gay player — Michael Sam — selected in the NFL draft, and Jason Collins become the first openly gay active player in the NBA, Edmonton's professional franchises have not been at the front edge of this particular diversity curve, which makes Ference's decision to march the more significant locally.
"Making sure that (LGBT) youth know they have allies at the pro level, or whether it's a teammate who might be thinking about coming out, or whatever it is, we want to make sure that it's an accepting environment for everyone," Ference said Tuesday in a telephone interview. "I know most of my teammates and guys around the league line up with the same kind of belief."
Ference said Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish fully supports his marching in the parade, saying the NHL club is against all forms of discrimination.
The 35-year-old defenceman will join the likes of Mayor Don Iveson and Thomas Lukaszuk, a former Alberta cabinet minister currently a candidate in provincial Progressive Conservative leadership race, among the luminaries marching in Saturday's parade, which starts at noon and proceeds along 102nd Ave. through downtown Edmonton, along 100th St. past Sir Winston Churchill Square.
Jen Scrivens, wife of Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens, also intends to march in the parade.
Ference's gesture is of a piece with his progressive, engaged approach to being a citizen. His work with the NHL's Carbon Neutral Challenge aimed at reducing players' environmental footprint, and the November Project, the mass appeal, early-morning fitness sessions he has led here and in Boston, for example, are well known.
Ference is certainly not the first high-profile NHLer to participate in a pride parade. Jason Garrison and Manny Malhotra, when he was a Canuck, marched in Vancouver's parade and Georges Laraque has participated in the one held in Montreal.
Famously, Calgary Flames president Brian Burke has marched in Toronto's Pride Parade for years to honour his late son, Brendan, who died in an automobile crash Feb. 5, 2010, months after he publicly declared his homosexuality in November 2009.
Inspired by his younger brother, Brendan, Patrick Burke in March 2012 co-founded You Can Play, a not-for-profit organization "dedicated to ensuring equality, respect and safety for all athletes, without regard to sexual orientation," as its mission statement reads.
Ference became friendly with Patrick Burke during his years in Boston, where he participated in some fundraising initiatives for that organization.
"I think for most (NHL players), especially with You Can Play (initiatives), it's not a big step for us (supporting diversity)," Ference said. "It's not sticking our nose out to support something that is really out there.
"It would be rare to find someone that doesn't support it among our group of players."
Not long after Ference signed with the Oilers last off-season, he met with Wells to see how he could get involved in diversity projects locally.
"I think he's one of those athletes who recognizes the privileges and the platform they have to help lead change," Wells said. "He's a true captain, he speaks through his actions."
Ference does not speak or act on complex issues without informing himself about them first. For example, when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission into abuses at residential schools was in Edmonton in April, Ference took his young daughters to a session to learn about that shameful segment of Canadian history.
When he first met with Wells about participating in the Pride Festival, Ference asked him: " 'What do I need to know? What can I do?' " Wells said. "He wants to be educated."
Among other things, Ference sounded out Wells on how members of the LGBT community feel about straight people participating in events like the Pride Parade, like whether they might be cynical and think a high-profile athlete like Ference was in it for the photo opportunity.
Wells disabused Ference of any such concerns.
"When Andrew steps forward and marches alongside our LGBT young people, it sends a powerful message that homophobia and transphobia have no place in our locker rooms, schools and communities," Wells said. "The civil rights movement didn't accomplish its goals without allies stepping up.
"It's the same thing with the LGBT movement. We need our friends and our allies to come forward. In many ways, they're in the safest space to speak out."
Representing the team in the community is part of what an NHL team captain does, but Ference has been an engaged citizen for years pre-dating his becoming the Oilers captain.
"I have an extreme fear of ever being a hypocrite," Ference said. "If I want to do something, I want to do it because I believe in it, not just because I'm doing a favour for somebody or because they're giving you money to show up for a little bit.
"I don't like that. It loses credibility, it loses authenticity. I think you have to believe in the things you do. People have really good bullshit meters."

Bergstol's Recount of the U.S. Open
Wednesday, June 19, 2008 (Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania) — The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort's touring golf pro, Brian Bergstol, recently played at The U.S. Open, in Torrey Pines, California. An honor reserved for the best athletes in the sport, Brian's showing garnished him with a new understanding of the greatest game ever played.
Bergstol made quite an impact, qualifying for the U.S. Open only months after becoming a certified professional golfer. With the Open being his first major showing, Brian's future in golf is certainly bright.
Recounting on his time at The U.S. Open Brian stated, "My most memorable experience would had to have been on Friday after shooting even on hole 8 to hear a huge roar across the valley and looking over to see Phil Mickelson, paired with Tiger Woods, shoot a 70 yard-save for par. It was special to witness and be a part of that moment on the inside of the ropes instead of watching it from the outside."
"The U.S. Open was a big learning experience for me. It was fun to play in front of an audience of 100,000 people. Torrey Pines is the hardest course I ever played, and Thursday was a bad day to lose my swing," added Bergstol. After finishing his second day at Torrey Pines with a score of 167, Brian's journey at the 2008 U.S. Open came to a close.
Between tournaments, Brian will be instructing golf at The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort's Junior Golf Camps. It is rare for young individuals to have an opportunity to learn the sport from a professional with experience in the U.S. Open, playing with the world's most elite athletes.
In addition to Brian, other excellent golf professionals instruct the Junior Golf Camps. Jim Miller is a teaching professional with a long list of accomplishments that include qualifying for six and winning two Senior Championship Tournaments and winning both the 1968 Junior PGA and 2004 Shawnee Open Senior Division Championships. Joe Manly is the head golf Professional at Shawnee and has been teaching the Junior Camps for six years. Finally, Rachelle Heil will begin to provide professional instruction as well.
The Junior Camps run in three sessions throughout the summer. The sessions are as followed: June 8th – 10th, July 20th – 27th, and August 10th – 14th. These camps are designed for boys and girls between the ages of 5 – 10 and 10 – 18, depending on the camp.
The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is excited to have Brian instruct its Junior Golf Camps. To interview Brian or to learn more about the Tillinghast Golf Academy, please call Jeromy Wo, Public Relations Coordinator at: (570) 424-4050 ext. 1409 or visit www.shawneeinn.com.

Still have zucchini left after the relish? Zucchini bread!
At a zucchini every 2-3 days from our patch, we have been eating this bread for breakfast almost every day.
This recipe is adapted from the Bon Appétit cookbook, but makes two loaves instead of one and cuts down a bit on the sugar.
It is a bit lighter and crustier than typical zucchini bread. One loaf is good for four hungry people for breakfast.

- preheat oven 350°F
- butter and flour two bread pans
- 2 1/2 cups
- all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp
- salt
- 1 tsp
- ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp
- baking soda
- 1/4 tsp
- baking powder
- 3
- eggs
- 1 1/2 cups
- sugar
- 1 cup
- peanut oil
- 1 tsp
- vanilla extract
- 2 cups
- coarsely grated zucchini
- 1 cup
- walnut pieces, toasted in a dry frying pan
- Whisk first five ingredients together in a bowl.
- Beat eggs in a separate bowl until foamy.
- Add sugar bit by bit to eggs, beating between additions and until thick and pale.
- Slowly beat in oil, then vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients in three additions while beating some more.
- Fold in zucchini, then walnuts. Pour into pans.
- Bake about 1 hour 15 minutes, until top is crusty and a knife inserted in centre comes out clean.
