Why is that I can get a guy to look at me but trying
to get a girlfriend I have to jump thought hoops
I hate it. I have two guys who like me one likes me
only as a friend but he makes me nearous because he
hints that it could be more. Then the guy who just keeps
hitting on me. A lot of us from work are going bowling
Tue. A lot of us have the day off and we said lets go bowling
We all said we would bring someone outside of work.
I am bringing Danny simple cause I love him like my brother
I really don't know what to do thought I hate being hit
on by guys I also hate guys starting at me. I
don't think I am beatiful or even stare worthy.
It makes me mad. I simple want to be left alone
to be who I am and yet I can be simple unknowing wanting
to be around people. I don't understand why guys
think I am so hot. I am maybe just to nice for my
own good. I guess in some ways you could say that
I could be asking for it. But I am not I don't
want the attention. It is not wanting and I am
not going to like these guys as any thing other than

While I haven't fully figured out the answer to my previous photography related question (on the archiving, not simply backing up, of photos) I am getting closer.
I have a question about the archiving of RAW files.
One of the commenters, Damon Lynch, provided some insight to a collection of best practices ("DPBestFlow") developed by the Library of Congress (an organization that I trust when it comes to the process of archiving materials). [He also linked to a Free Software tool he wrote to quickly download and backup photos from your digital camera, Rapid Photo Downloader.]
The DPBestFlow site introduces me to a file format that I was previously unaware of, DNG, or Digital Negative. The DNG format, created by Adobe, is a 'universal' RAW format with an open (ie: not patent encumbered) specification. This is in stark contrast to the slew of proprietary formats that are camera maker specific (closed formats that might include encrypted portions) such as NEF (Nikon's) or CRW/CR2 (Canon's).
There was even an initiative to garner wider adoption of open standard RAW formats back in 2005 started by Juergen Specht called OpenRAW (Wikipedia).
Now, I am a huge proponent of open formats and standards (obviously?) but my question really is:
- Is it worth it?
- Should I convert all of my Nikon RAW files to DNG?
- If I do, should I save the original NEF files "just in case?"
Also, why am I not simply reading the many discussions already had on this topic? Because I want to get the uniquely free software view on the issue.

(AllHipHop News) President Barack Obama's speech to the Chicago youth at Hyde Park Career Academy was followed by the death of the sister of one of the students present. 14 year old Destini Warren's sister Janay MacFarlane was fatally shot around 11:30 P.M. on February 15th on the 1300 block of Jackson Avenue in the northern suburban while visiting family and friends.

At the time of her killing, reports state MacFarlane was walking with friends, whom one is suspected at being the original target for the bullet that killed Janay MacFarlane. On February 17th, reported that an 18 year old and 20 year old man were "considered persons of interests"
MacFarlane's distraught mother, Angela Blakely says the 18 year old was on the path to graduating high school this spring and was going to pursue future studies in culinary arts. Blakely also says the teenage homicide victim frequently asked her about the recent homicide of 15 year old Haidya Pendleton prior to her own untimely death:
"It's terrible, it's terrible the only thing I can remember is my daughter telling me, 'Mommy, it's so sad about Hadiya. That makes no sense,' "

Pendleton, who was killed by stray gunfire days after performing at President Obama's second inauguration, was a major reason for President Obama's visit to Hyde Park Career Academy. During his speech, the President spoke on the horrendous state of violence in his hometown:
"Last year, there were 443 murders with a firearm in this city, and 65 of them were 18 and under. That's the equivalent of a Newtown every four months."
On Thursday (Feb. 21st), Janay's family will hold visitation from 4 to 9 p.m. at Gatling's Chapel. Her funeral has been scheduled for noon Friday(Feb. 22nd) at the Greater Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. Her body will be buried at Mount Hope Cemetery.
North Chicago official claim Janay MacFralane's death was only the second homicide for the northern suburb in the over 13 months.

A few years ago I created a YouTube video that was meant as a simple WordPress beginner introduction.
Have you ever wanted to see how easy WordPress is to use?
As a coach, holistic healer or really any type of service professional you want to have control over your content on your website. WordPress gives you that control without a whole bunch of techie stuff in the way.
Over my many years of of coaching and teaching my website clients I've found a lot of them get stuck in overwhelm, and even fear, when it comes to the web. And this is certainly true when we start talking about them editing their content on their website.
Yet, I've found that with a simple WordPress beginner introduction I can illustrate how simple and easy editing their own website is.

New Delhi, Nov 19 Actor Sikander Kher didn't have a dream start in Bollywood like other star kids, but the son of veteran actors Anupam and Kirron Kher has no complaints. He says he is always open to criticism and constantly tries to improve himself.
"I have never really thought about praise or criticism. I just believe in working. However, I am definitely open to criticism as it gives you the scope to improve upon yourself," Sikander told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"You have to continue to improve yourself always. I know criticism is a part and parcel of our job and it doesn't affect me," he added.
Sikander has been interested in acting since childhood. As a kid, he used to enact fictitious scenes created by his father, Anupam.
But his break on the big screen came in 2008 with Hansal Mehta's "Woodstock Villa". The film failed to rake in moolah at the box-office, but his acting was appreciated.
"I have had a slow start, but I am happy with the kind of work I have done so far. I have no complaints. It has been a learning experience every day," said the 31-year-old.
"All the people that I have worked with have been very good and very kind to me. I feared failure, but gradually I learnt to deal with it. With failure comes success, and you earn respect. I'm hoping happier things will happen to me soon," he added.
Sikander was later seen in intense characters in films like "Summer 2007″, "Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey" and most recently, in "Game", and he admits he likes such roles.
"I am not looking forward to doing any particular kind of role, but I like to do intense roles as I am good at it. I would also love to do some comedy," he said.
"It is important for me to be convinced about the script of any film that I choose to do. So I take my own time to decide…many a time projects don't work out. So, I really wouldn't mind doing little, but I'd like doing good stuff," he added.
He is now gearing up for the release of his new film "Players", the official Hindi remake of Hollywood film "The Italian Job".
Directed by Abbas-Mustan the action thriller also features his best buddy, Abhishek Bachchan, apart from actors Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bobby Deol and Bipasha Basu.
Sikander is tight-lipped about his role but doesn't mind talking about his experience.
"I can't reveal much about my role. I can only say that I am playing a Muslim in the film. It's been a wonderful time working with the director duo. They are so good at what they do and are fantastic storytellers. I got to learn so much from them," said Sikander.
"The entire cast has also so much fun to work with. Abhishek has been a buddy, I didn't know much about Omi Vaidya and Bipasha, but after working together, we are now good friends. I have able to visit some beautiful places in New Zealand. It has been great fun," he added.
"Players" will release Jan 6, 2012.
