Prior to the British invasion in 1964 sixties fashion was a continuation of the late 1950s. But with the Beatles came a new and very different fashion influence not Paris or Milan but "swinging" London. The brand new post war "babyboomer" generation was proving that it was a power to be reckoned with.
I'm known as Senti (a nickname with a long history) and I am totally stuck in a 1960s timewarp. I missed the 1960s myself - being born in 1979 - but developed a love for this decade very early on, and now live in a 1960s house decorated with the appropriate vintage wallpaper and furniture, wear mainly 1960s clothes, am a self confessed knee-high boot addict.
By the 1960s, fashion involved a great deal of experimentation - something a Ruchette never fears when it comes to styling!

This article is very intersting. Well I mean its intersting for diigo assignment. The reason I like it is because it shows right away bolded the advantages and disadvantages with each raw and dng. Most articles i look at favor either or and this shows how both can be helpful and how much wouldn't work. I personally would pick DNG over RAW because DNG to me would be easier since you have to go into your camera settings for RAW and its much easier to work with. -Zach Fox

Image Source Some people may write off sports as mere entertainment, but perhaps they should look a little closer. Sports can not only ignite the passions, allegiances and fanaticism of millions, but also help people to overcome racial prejudice and discrimination.
