In set_language view, it should be possible to not perform redirect after request is made. Instead, a 204 status code could be returned. While performing a redirect was a reasonable behaviour in old times of HTML apps, for many AJAX applications it may be unnecessary and even uncomfortable if there is no good page become a redirect target.

I'd go even further, if there is no redirect parameter provided just return 204. Do all browsers etc support this properly?!
EDIT:// Thinking about this a bit more: since we change the language we have to redirect, how else would we change the UI?

comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by KJ
The project I'm currently working on uses Django as an API backend and AngularJS application as a frontend client to this API. The UI localization is done using Mozilla's L20n project and language changing is done on-the-fly, without reloading the page. However, there are still some parts of the site which use Django templates (like password change form), so making an AJAX call to set_language is still necessary, but they are loaded using iframes, so there is no need to perform a redirect.
Not performing a redirect when it is not explicitly requested seems tempting, but it will be backwards incompatible with the current behaviour – I guess there may be a significant number of sites which rely on the fact that set_language redirects them to the previous page (captured from the referer header). Maybe we should check request.is_ajax() and if it is true, omit the redirect unless next parameter is set? For old-style HTML websites it may be still a coarsely correct assumption that a redirect needs to be performed after changing the language. That way we can resign from introducing the new no_redirect parameter.
204 status code seems to be supported by browsers, according to http://benramsey.com/blog/2008/05/http-status-204-no-content-and-205-reset-content/ .

- Just how did they get the wrong information? When you signed the loan documents at the dealer what did the documents say? Seems like there is some information missing.
But beyond that here is a little fact you need to know. It doesn't matter if you only had 3 payments left. Until you pay off the car it is NOT yours. That is right..even if you owe $1 they can Repossess it.
The next thing is that there may have been a "hold" to not SELL it at auction, but there is not one that would keep it from being transferred. It also does not stop them from charging storage fees. But they were not being nice or giving you a break in putting this "hold" on the sale. Most likely the laws of your state require them to give you 15 days to be able to pay the balance. But you can be sure that if you don't pay it by the 15 days it will be sold on the 16th day.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Oil industry officials blame the recent spike in gasoline prices on a number of factors including that fact that five percent of the Gulf Coast refineries and 20 percent of the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico are still down as a result of Hurricane Katrina. And it's unclear when they will be back online, but when that happens, you could see a dip in the price of gas.
At least that is what John Griffin, the lobbyist for the Associated Petroleum Industries of Michigan suggests. Having said that however, he warns there is some political unrest in Africa and South America that could result in less fuel oil in the future, and he says motorists show no signs of backing off on their demands, which could drive the price past $3 a gallon, although Griffin will not make that prediction.

"2 Broke Girls: The Complete First Season"
Although the series fell into some comedy ruts in the final episodes of the first season, there are still enough laughs on the menu for this show about two waitress from opposite sides of the track who work and live together.
Beth Behrs continues to play the comedy way over the top. And the writers have gotten a little lazy with the street-tough character played by Kat Dennings, who has gone from telling jokes about dealing with a hard life to those of a sexual nature. But these women are still the most energetic team in any TV comedy.
Grade: B-
"The Five-Year Engagement"
An engaged couple have trouble getting to the altar. Jason Segel stars.
Director Nicholas Stoller, who co-wrote the script with Segel, has created a jumbled mess of a film. At times it wants to be a wild comedy. Then it quickly shifts to deep conversations about love and commitment. Stoller's inability to blend these comedy and drama aspects leaves both parts a mess.
"The Five-Year Engagement" might have worked if it had a faster pace, more focus on the comedy, a better leading pair and a stronger plot device.
As it is, divorce yourself of any ideas of seeing it.

Hi Raymond,
First off, this image is not blurry and it is well exposed. The small scale of the posted photo prevents critical evaluation, and blowing it up to 100% results in only a small number of pixels across each face.
As general suggestions:
The 18-105VR lens is "just a kit lens" many will say but I think it is pretty darn good and well suited for the shot you took.
You have a little working against you, the sky is bright clouds so metering will be dominated by that in Matrix Mode. but in Matrix, the spot under the focus point influences the Matrix calculation. The faces will be darker shooting against the bright sky because the camera tries to prevent over exposure of the sky by lowering light transmission either by shortening the exposure time or stopping down the aperture, or lowering ISO if you are using AutoISO mode..
They are moving and your angle to them increases the need for deeper depth of field.
Considering all that I would use:
AF-C mode
1/500-1/1000 (Although they are moving relatively slowly, increasing the shutter speed would be needed to stop motion blur"
Turn VR off if using that high of shutter speed.
Matrix metering, using a focus point that is fairly close to mid-tone.
To get enough DOF, f/8 or smaller(higher numbers).
Turn on Active D-Lighting to Auto to prevent the sky from blowing out while trying to bring up the shadows a bit.
Shoot RAW so you can work with the shadows in post processing to bring the face illumination up a bit.
And, set exposure mode to Manual and Auto ISO to Auto. The reason for manual mode is you want to control shutter speed AND DOF so manual will allow that and let exposure be adjusted by Auto-ISO
The shutter speed should reduce motion and camera blur, and the depth of field increased by a stopped down aperture, and exposure taken care of by Matrix metering and Auto-ISO

Hi Ray,
When you get a minute, please upload an image with the Exif data intact. It will be very helpful in diagnosing the problem.
Even the kit lenses are optically excellent.
For moving subjects, I would recommend using Continuous AF (AF-C) mode, with a shutter speed of about 1/250th sec. or faster as a starting point.
Best Regards,

I could not load the photo in it kept saying file to large. I am the photographer for my military unit with no training but they think I am the best they seen. I see the reason the photographer before me had the original cannon T2I. I just started doing this the last couple months due to sequester we cant buy a paid photographer. Most of my pictures are ceremonies, sporting events we do and military training. What do I need to set the camera at to get the pics could fit on here

Hi Ray,
What Stan told you is right it is a good photo, it is just a little over exposed but can be taken care of when you process it. I processed it a little in Nikon Capture NX2, you can do much better with the whole file. You might want to think about shooting in RAW format or RAW + JPEG so you can do a lot better and more processing when you don't get your exposure just right. You will be able to do so much more with your edits in RAW. You also might want to try Center Weighted Area for your exposure setting. I find that I like it; you can try it and see how it works for you. If not change it to something else that works for you. If you get the JPEG right you can delete the RAW file, no harm done. If not you can process the RAW file.
To post your photo here just make sure they are smaller than 1200 X 1200 and smaller than 300 KB, anything bigger than that, they will not upload like you found out.
Good Luck,

Hi Raymond,
Your photo looks pretty good! Good color rendering and composition.
Did you shoot .nef or .jpg and did you try to sharpen it up in post processing? If you shot a RAW (.nef) file, you should be able to improve it to your satisfaction. Give it a try and let us know how you made out.
Proud to be a Montreal Nikonian
#7. "RE: D7000 focus question" | In response to Reply # 0
Looks like a good shot to me! Certainly usable.
I'm a big believer in using fill flash for outdoor shooting. A camera-mounted speedlight will help the subjects "pop" a bit more. Be sure you are using "rear" curtain sync for moving subjects like this.
The only other thing that comes to mind is that I like to create a bit more drama in composition. In particular, I like to get down low to the ground and shoot up at the subject. The resulting perspective is different from the typical eye-level view that people are accustomed to. I think it tends to make the shot more interesting.

I have the older Prime Directive stuff. I prefer (by a lot) the Last Unicorn Games' Star Trek RPG products. I have everything they ever released.
I was not aware that D20 Prime Directive even existed!

Juanma Back in WBO Ranks, December Return Looms
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Former champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez (31-2, 28KOs) is back in the rankings of the World Boxing Organization (WBO). The sanctioning body voted unanimously to remove the boxer's suspension and to reinstate him to the WBO's world rankings. Juanma was suspended following the post-fight incident after his knockout loss to Orlando Salido in March. After the fight, Juanma called referee Robert Ramirez Sr. "a gambler" - hinting at an allegation that Ramirez stopped his fight in connection with a wager.
WBO president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel said - "His promoters (Top Rank and Puerto Rico Best Boxing) have a date in December and he is expected to return on that date."
Referee Ramirez also said he was moving past the incident with Juanma - "We, my son (Roberto Ramirez Jr., also a referee) and I are professionals, we have no grudge with Juanma. I not sued or anything after the incident and I mean for us, this (incident with Juanma Lopez) is a closed case."

Having failed to pick up any points in the opening half pipe event of the season Bowman turned that around last month with victory in Copper Mountain.
And the X Games SuperPipe champion was at it again, pipping Japan's Ayana Onozuka to top spot with Switzerland's Virginie Faivre settling for third.
The win sees Bowman not sitting pretty atop the half pipe World Cup leaderboard on 200 points, 20 ahead of Onozuka with Faivre in third on 132.
Meanwhile, in the men's event there was plenty more for the home crowd to shout about as they saw two more Americans on the podium.
Taking the win was David Wise, his first of the season, while compatriot Torin Yater-Wallace finished second with Frenchman Kevin Rolland taking third.
Wise, also a 2013 X Games SuperPipe champion, now sits third on 160 points, 15 behind France's Thomas Krief who finished fourth in Park City, while Yater-Wallace is in top spot on 180.

Corpus Christi Caller-Times. July 16, 2016.
As Texas grows, so must its government
The news about Texas' growth and prosperity just doesn't make sense. It was the third-fastest-growing economy among the states last year. And Secretary of State Carlos Cascos has reported gleefully that business startups for the first half of this year are up by 10 percent. The state also had the fifth-fastest population growth last year.
And last year was a down year. Oil prices continued to fall — good news only at the gas pumps in oil industry-dependent Texas. Yet, still there are a lot more people and businesses.
More people and businesses means more for state government to do. Texans look askance at government growth. But for it to shrink when the state is growing makes no sense — no logical sense, but perfect orthodox political sense.
Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Joe Straus have directed state agencies to cut their budgets 4 percent — in other words, do more with less. The cliché fits because government agencies won't have the option of maintaining a status quo baseline of service. Population growth means growth in demand for the agencies' services.
Abbott, Patrick and Straus didn't address that challenge. They stuck with platitudes: "Limited government, pro-growth economic policies and sound financial planning are the key budget principles responsible for Texas' economic success," they wrote.
We agree with that. But shrinking government while everything else is growing is not sound financial planning. It's pound-foolishness.
Limited government sounds great as a phrase. Putting people out of work while providing less service to more people does not. It ruins the cachet of "limited government." But to ignore it is to be untruthful by omission.
The Legislature is projected to have $10 billion less to spend because of the oil downturn. The Texas Constitution requires a balanced budget. That would be an OK cover story for the 4 percent cuts if state leaders weren't considering another foray into cutting taxes like they did in the 2015 session.
The directive includes some key exemptions — public school funding, border security, Child Protective Services and mental health resources. All but border security already are scandalously underfunded. Other exemptions include Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, public employee pensions and bond debt service.
In the last session the Legislature made what amounted to an $800 million political statement against the Obama administration by expanding the Department of Public Safety to address border security. Anti-Obama state leaders never could show convincingly that the federal government wasn't doing enough or that the DPS infusion would make a difference. But it's a generous hiring program and those jobs are safe from budget cuts thanks to Abbott, Patrick and Straus.
With all these new businesses and residents, if the Legislature expands state government enough to accommodate the growth, Texas still would have limited government. If the three top officials want Texas to remain pro-growth like they said in their joint statement, they'll need to let state government grow enough to accommodate the growth. Their 4 percent directive is 180 degrees in the wrong direction.
Waco Tribune-Herald. July 13, 2016.
Questioning police protocols doesn't mean one is anti-law enforcement
No one was exactly surprised that President Obama, in oratory solemn yet uplifting, neatly negotiated his way through a narrow and perilous labyrinth of grief, misunderstanding and hatred during his remarks at a memorial service honoring five slain Dallas police officers. At ceremony's end, though, one was left to wonder if we as Americans can just as determinedly thread the same needle — not in words but in deed, outlook and faith.
That's what it'll take to make America great again — not through border walls, virtual or otherwise; not by sweepingly stereotyping others by their faith, race or ethnicity; not through unrestrained gun control; and certainly not by seeking to aggravate racial animosity for political gain, as some of the president's enemies clearly have sought to do. Some suggested that, in questioning the deaths of black men at the hands of police officers nationwide in recent years, Obama is anti-police, which is absurd.
As Waco Police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton put it in an expression of solidarity with Dallas police: "The Waco Police Department is not perfect. We make mistakes and sometimes just flat-out screw up. We learn in those times, we move forward, and we grow. However, know this: The majority of men and women who make up your police department, sworn and civilian personnel alike, are some of the most dedicated, caring and steadfast individuals you will ever meet."
Only recently, Waco police launched internal and criminal investigations concerning three of its officers, all placed on administrative leave amid allegations of violence involving a man they arrested in East Waco. That's how the system is supposed to work, with police supervisors taking such allegations seriously. And the author of a national study released this summer suggests intense police scrutiny of allegations of low-level violence by individual officers may well prevent such future incidents, plus those involving the use of deadly force.
During his address, Obama stressed that criticism of errant or rogue cops should not be interpreted as an indictment of the vast number of police personnel who acquit themselves honorably day in and day out, often without thanks. He cited a 38-year-old Garland-based African- American, one of two civilians shot by Micah Johnson as he unleashed his hatred for whites on all downtown Dallas on July 7: "The police helped Shetamia Taylor as she was shot trying to shield her four sons. She said she wanted her boys to join her to protest the incidents of black men being killed. She also said to the Dallas PD, 'Thank you for being heroes.' And today her 12-year-old son wants to be a cop when he grows up. That's the America I know."
While much of the address focused on what Obama described as the African-American community "that feels unfairly targeted by police and police departments that feel unfairly maligned for doing their jobs," the tragedy of Dallas was correctly placed in the context of a polarized nation where few of us can talk openly about racial strife beyond the comfort of our own circles, including people who look just like us.
"Argument turns too easily into animosity," former President George W. Bush said during his turn at the lectern. "Disagreement escalates too quickly into de-humanization. Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions. And this has strained our bonds of understanding and common purpose. But Americans, I think, have a great advantage. To renew our unity, we only need to remember our values."
Except to the willfully ignorant and eternally divisive among us, the points are eloquently made. Question: Are there enough of us to stave off those whose ideas of American values extend no further than themselves?
The Dallas Morning News. July 19, 2016.
Just because open carry is legal doesn't mean it's always smart
With tensions flaring across the country and everyone from your next-door neighbor to uniformed police officers worried for their safety, we need more than the long arm of the law for protection.
We need common sense and civility; we need individuals to take responsibility for their behavior.
Open carry laws allow protesters to tote guns, large and small. But just because something is legal doesn't necessarily make it smart. Openly carrying long guns to public protests and large rallies, where the air is often charged and tensions are high, is unnecessarily provocative. It invites trouble.
Open carry — just to be clear — isn't to blame for the violence that's spreading across America. But flaunting weapons at protests and conventions can intensify confrontations and complicate the work of police.
That's why the head of Cleveland's largest police union pressed Ohio Gov. John Kasich to suspend the state's open carry laws during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this week. Kasich, saying he had no such authority, declined to do so.
And it's why many police chiefs across the nation oppose open carry. They believe it compromises the security of the people they're sworn to serve and protect — not to mention their own sense of safety. When violence erupts, it's hard for cops to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
The sober reality of that message hit home here in Dallas on July 7, when a heavily armed man ambushed police, killing five officers and injuring nine others.
Chaos ensued as gunfire rang out. Protesters, some toting rifles, scrambled for cover while police frantically searched for the source of the shots. In the midst of the confusion, one gun-bearing demonstrator, Mark Hughes, was branded a suspect.
Once identified, Hughes did the smart thing: He flagged down an officer and turned himself in, voluntarily relinquishing the AR-15 rifle that he'd slung over his shoulder while marching.
His experience serves as an important reminder: Protesters have the right to bear arms, but they also must live (or die) with the consequences of doing so.
"I don't know what to say," Hughes told KTVT-TV the next day. "In hindsight, 20/20, I could have easily been shot."
It has long been legal in Texas and other states to openly carry rifles. But for decades, that tradition was confined to rural areas, where it made more sense.
On Jan. 1, however, it also became legal in Texas for those with a permit to openly carry a handgun in a hip or shoulder holster.
We need not second-guess the Second Amendment to recognize the reality that comes with it. Carrying big, intimidating guns to protests is neither wise nor rational.
The (Brazoria County) Facts. July 19, 2016.
We should be sickened by Gingrich's suggestion
It's easy to let emotions get the better of us in the moments after a tragedy and blurt out a thought that sounds a lot more cogent in our heads than it does hitting the open air. We'd like to believe that's what happened with Newt Gingrich in the aftermath of another terror attack last week in France.
Even if we choose to give him the benefit of the doubt, though, what he put out as a reasonable measure is sickening on all levels, and the blowback he has received for uttering it is more than justified.
In an interview on Fox News Channel after a Muslim extremist drove an 18-wheeler into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France, last Thursday, killing 84 people, Gingrich offered a suggestion that is the antithesis of American values.
"Let me be as blunt and direct as I can be: Western civilization is in a war," he told host Sean Hannity. "We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported.
"Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door," he concluded.
As flawed as his arguments are in factual terms — for instance, all the ISIS-inspired attacks on U.S. soil have been carried out by American citizens, making it unclear to where they would be deported — the very idea of treating someone as lesser citizens because of their religion is repulsive. Have we learned nothing about institutional racism?
Americans have a right to be protected, but to discriminate against the rights of one group in the name of security for another goes against our core values. Not immediately assuming all Muslims are terrorists is not a reflection of political correctness gone amok, it's about moral correctness.
We are experiencing a troubling rise in America in which people are being painted as one mass group, with the indiscretions of a small slice of that group being applied wholly to others who share a skin color or cultural background. All Hispanics are here illegally. All African-American protesters support executing police officers. All law enforcement is out to kill black suspects.
To lump in another group based on their faith is unfair, un-American and abhorrent. America needs to improve its approach to terrorism, and installing Inquisition panels is not the right answer.
While Gingrich, a former House Speaker, presidential candidate and potential Donald Trump running mate, has a fundamental right in our country to share his thoughts, sometimes it's best to open the mind and shut the mouth.
Gingrich should have in this case.
San Antonio Express-News. July 19, 2016.
CPS reform must start with boosting pay
Recently, Henry "Hank" Whitman, the new head of Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, outlined a 10-point plan to improve Child Protective Services.
The plan was explained in a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott, and it has many merits, particularly its focus on supporting front-line workers and holding agency leadership accountable. A retired chief of the Texas Rangers, Whitman's law enforcement background is an intriguing match with an agency that primarily provides social work. But to truly improve CPS, Whitman and Abbott need to advocate for significantly better pay for agency workers. It starts there, and without a dramatic improvement in pay, other reforms will have little or no impact.
Why focus on pay first? Because CPS has an extremely high turnover rate, and that high turnover rate leads to extremely high caseloads for existing workers. High caseloads endanger kids. If the state of Texas wants to reduce turnover at CPS, and in turn, reduce caseloads, it will need to dramatically raise salaries for investigators and caseworkers.
In public comments, Whitman has been supportive of improving pay for CPS workers down in the trenches, but he has yet to offer specifics. In an interview with the Texas Tribune, he acknowledged the stress and dangers CPS workers face on a daily basis, and how their pay pales in comparison to those of police officers and teachers.
"Would you take a job on that's as important as this, wake up in the morning, visit how many homes?" he said to the Tribune. "You have a family you have to take care of, you've got to make sure you do the right thing and make the right decisions out there — for a pay that's less than a schoolteacher's pay, less than a police officer's pay."
This is a point F. Scott McCown, a law professor and director of the Children's Rights Clinic at the University of Texas at Austin, made in recent testimony to Texas lawmakers, noting the free market is telling lawmakers to boost pay.
He's right. Beyond having a passion to ensure vulnerable kids are safe, why would anyone take a job at CPS? That person could make more money, with less stress and danger, as a teacher working nine months out of the year. That likely means raising the starting salary for a caseworker to the ballpark area of $50,000.
Doing this right will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. But not doing it right has costs, too. If lawmakers go cheap on agency pay raises, they will be throwing good money away because there won't be enough incentive for workers to stay. It's worth noting that it costs taxpayers $54,000 each time a caseworker leaves the agency, according to recent a review of the agency.
The problems facing CPS are daunting. We have a foster care system so broken it often damages the kids it's supposed to serve and protect. Funding for preventing abuse is negligible, and notably, prevention was the last point in Whitman's 10-point plan. That seems like it should be at or near the top of the list.
No one expects Child Protective Services to be fixed right away. Fighting for better pay as a way to reduce turnover and caseloads would create a foundation for future success.

ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals reliever Lance Lynn pulled a left side muscle on a full-count walk with two outs in the eighth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers and was lifted from the game.
Lynn, a rookie right-hander, bent over in pain after walking pinch-hitter George Kottaras on Tuesday night. Lynn struck out three and hadn't allowed a hit in 1 2/3 innings before the walk. He eventually walked off the field.
Octavio Dotel replaced Lynn in a double switch with Daniel Descalso replacing Skip Schumaker at second base.

AbstractThe recent emergence of e-government and online social media offers opportunities for governments to meet the demands and expectations of citizens, to provide value-added services and overcome barriers of reduced public budgets. Twitter is the most popular microblogging platform that can facilitate interaction and engagement. It is widely used by government agencies, public affairs practitioners, non-government organizations, members of Parliament and politicians. The paper aims to explore the use of Twitter by government agencies in Greece and record Twitter followers' preferences regarding which accounts they follow. The paper records 27 Greek e-government Twitter accounts and their 107,107 followers. It uses a data mining technique, association rules and two multivariate statistical methods, multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis and proposes the use of a similarity measure, suitable for describing Twitter account proximity. In this way, the paper locates accounts that share followers. Groups of Twitter accounts are located, and their common orientation is described. The analysis not only describes Twitter account similarities and group formation, but to some extent, the followers' preferences and habits of obtaining information through Twitter, as well.
Keywords: e-government; Twitter; Greece; followers; association rules; multidimensional scaling; cluster analysis; groups of accounts; shared followers

Solutions for Chapter 5
Jonie's mild insomnia and anxiety might best be served with a gentle and soothing Swedish massage for the first week. In that, she also has muscle pathology you could build a treatment plan recommending in week one, Swedish massage as a gentle introduction to the body. In week two, you could introduce vibration and petrissage, which will trick the muscles and the nervous system into releasing tension and offer stretching during your massage. You could encourage your client to begin a light stretching routine daily and begin to find activities, which may be, stress reducing. In week three, after the client has begun stretching and integrating massage into her life, you may consider some neuromuscular work for the pains in her neck and shoulders. The reflexive system at work here maybe the viscero-viseral in that Jonie activated her sympathetic nervous system with anxiety and insomnia both of which may have caused localized dysfunction in areas of soft tissue directly related to stress of her job and the things in her life which are figuratively "a pain in her neck."

They claimed I would only get $100 because they charge the $29.95 as a processing fee if cancelled. I finally agreed but have not even recieved that amount. If you try to call, it is either busy; you get an answering machine or when someone answers you get the runaround. I have been promised this refund several times with no results.

On arrival to my new place they said they wanted $360 and that they wouldn't unload until I paid them. They came down to $340. I paid.
They then proceeded to unload my stuff and brought it to the elevator. They left at 12:20 while I was upstairs unloading the elevator. There was still 4 elevator loads of stuff to go up and they hadn't finished working the 3 hour minimum.

512 mb ultra sandisk compflash card
mrdinh Registered since 07th Aug 2002

i set the d1x to raw(nef)...i get about 63 shots....
thats 485mb...shouldn't it be 512mb? or at least close
to that?...i always format the card in the digicam to
erase all pics....is there something wrong?...anyone
else have this prob too?
#1. "RE: 512 mb ultra sandisk compflash card" | In response to Reply # 0w4npx Registered since 10th Aug 2002Tue 27-Aug-02 03:14 AM
Not sure but I suspect that all RAW files are not the same size, but that they vary. I know that Compressed RAW produces different size files and suspect that full RAW does the same, thus 63 shots are not necessarily 485 Megabytes. However, this is just a guess.

The NH Humanities Council will sponsor an event in October. "Witches, Pop Culture and the Past" will explore the history in Salem. In 1692, 19 people were executed in Salem and hundreds imprisoned during a witch hunt we still discuss today.
Robin DeRosa explains that when Salem tells its witch stories, history, tourism, and performance collide, and "truth," both moral and macabre, vies with spooky thrills for its authentic place in history.
