  They don't watch R-rated movies (well, some of them) which means shorter lines for the rest of us.

  JF Rutherford accurately declared religion to be snare and a racket.

  (note: i apologize to the internet explorer users.

  you probably can't see my first epic fail thread because i used firefox to post.

  there's still some kind of glitch between a plugin i'm running, firefox posts, and ie.).

  Sweet, does this mean Jezebel's coming back?? I want to know if she was as damn horrific as she was in the bible story (BS) book.

  Sweeney, you get apostate street cred for the skilled use of "evidently."

  Yeah, I understand the dilemma, Leo. If I can't shoot RAW, I drop the overexposure bias, too. Not much can be done to recover clipped values in JPEGs. As for an impatient partner, that's much more difficult to upgrade. :-D

  For those of you who haven't stated so, are you shooting Canon, Nikon, or other? I like both Nikon and Canon but just happened to buy into the Canon camp on a whim. Now I'm vested in Canon glass and accessories but not a fan-boy. There are definitely some advantages out there for Nikon users.

  Adobe Lightroom FTW!

  Shooting RAW changes my exposure strategy, primarily in that I like to 'expose to the right.' I typically rely on the camera's meter but then I like to chimp and verify on the histogram that I'm pushing highlight values almost to the point of clipping. Then when processing the RAW files, I find that pulling highlights back (if there's not a total loss of RGB values in those parts) preserves the image better than pushing shadows up, which tends to introduce noise in dark areas. But that's just me, and not 100% of the time.

  I still need a grad ND filter, a good set of NDs and a circular polarizer for landscape shots. Until then, gotta rely on bracketed exposures or Lightroom's grad filter adjustment tool and local adjustment brush. Mmm-mm, deeelish!

  in case anyone's interested but unaware of my family's case up to this point, here's the original thread:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198852/5/sbcheezits-judicial-hearing-my-epic-fail-repost-for-ie-users.

  so the elders requested a follow-up meeting last week but we were unable to meet at their set time and told them as much.

  Hey, whereami! Did you find that your voice memo was unplayable?? I can help you salvage it. Long voice memo corruption is a fairly common issue with iPhones.

  CJ: At least talk in person with someone in the comittee before the dead line. That way you ensure they received the letter.

  Good point, CJ. I'll probably tell them the day before the deadline that they should expect the letters via certified mail, having already sent them. (We have to write a letter for each of us, too.)

  Palm: Also, the rumpus room crowd feels bad we got your other thread yanked.

  What? Get outta here! No need to apologize, Palm, that was awesome! Plus it was DarkSide's thread. I expect he'll call Simon out for that now.

  Aude: For those that want to know more, have a link cited to where they can read the full memo/manifesto.

  Thanks, that's a great strategy. I'm doin it.

  BB: It gets more Orwellian every day if "Thought Crimes" are now sought after.

  Yeah, the only thing they have against my wife are her comments and questions in their presence - none of which were damning in my opinion. They are unconcerned with the fact that she kept her doubts and questions to herself. She is, without a doubt, being disfellowshipped for thought crime.

  I plan to emphasize that point in my memo.
