You could also consider cutting a ring from a bicycle inner tube. They have a lot of stretch in them and I use them anywhere in place of a rubber band. They don't deteriorate from the UV in sunlight. One tube can make lots of bands of various widths as needed.

For about $19.00 you could try Advanced System Care Pro.
Cleans up and tunes up the PC to keep it running like new.

Y'all may think I'm crazy but I never shoot RAW. The question to the group is - Am I the only one who shoots JPEG all the time? ( with very little adjusting in LR )


I just learned that I can set my Canon SX 50 HS to JPEG and use the digital zoom to get out to 95% of 2400mm and get great photos if I can hold the camera still. So I am going to set the camera to JPEG and get better at taking photos with this camera. Found that information on UHH offered by Lillian Stokes.

I will leave my Ti5 on raw since that is where I have the best results processing the photos from that camera.

Back to the OPs original request:


Yes, there IS a definition for an "assault rifle" and it has nothing to do with cosmetics.

It's quite simple, really.


An assault rifle is a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine that shoots a medium-powered cartridge and has a maximum effective range of about 300 meters.


A "medium-powered cartridge" is a rifle cartridge more powerful than a handgun cartridge and less powerful than a hunting cartridge.

Thus, the M-1 (.30-06 cal.) and the M-14 (7.62X51) are Main Battle Rifles, not Assault Rifles.

The M-1 Carbine (.30 cal.) original M-16 (5.56 NATO), the AK-47 (7.62X39) and the Ruger Mini-14 (5.56 NATO) can all be classified as assault rifles.


What makes things a bit complicated for most people is that the M-16A2 (with >62-grain bullets), its civilian counterpart the AR-15 and some Ruger Mini-14s have been enhanced and are no longer assault rifles, but high-power rifles.

This occurred when enthusiasts developed the platforms for long-distance shooting.

They had to change to a heavier bullet to reach those ranges, a different twist rate in the barrel to stabilize the heavier bullet, heavier barrels to prevent distortion from heat and a host of other small changes.


The first assault rifle cartridge had a 55-grain bullet.

The second cartridge adopted a 62-grain bullet. A tighter twist rate was adopted at this time to accommodate the even-heavier tracer bullets.

The long-range cartridges use a 72-90 grain bullet in a barrel with an even tighter twist rate.


These long-range cartridges are no longer considered medium-power.

They are also inappropriate to use in stock Ruger Mini-14s made since 1994 because these rifles use a twist rate that doesn't properly stabilize anything heavier than a 62-grain bullet.


Hopefully, this mini-primer will help the OP figure out what all the fuss is about, machinery-wise.

If nothing else, it will give him a start on his own research.

Will please explain to me exactly what an assault weapon is.


An assault weapon is anything that someone uses to assault another person. Could be anything from a pocket knife, baseball bat, nun chucks, gun of any kind, tire iron, lug wrench, automobile and many other things. They are all around us and the object itself usually is a tool made for a certain purpose. That tool doesn't do anything by itself. It takes a person to use it. Most people use it as it was intended to be used. A few others use it for harm to one or more other persons.

When are we going to refer to these situations referencing the problem person and not the object they used to cause havoc? When are we going to look at the objects that cause the most deaths and go after the solution to that problem first. THAT WOULD MEAN THAT WE NEED TO START REMOVING CARS FROM OUR ROADS AND MAYBE OUTLAWING THEIR OWNERSHIP.

Great post and one we all can relate to. The $12.00 tire rotation charge would piss me off no end. You are correct. The tires are off anyway. Surely they could put them back onto different locations. I guess not.

Today's cars have the tire pressure sensors that require their location to be changed in the computer so they show up correctly on the dash panel. Don't know that I could re-program their location even if I had the equipment to do it.

I have seen a Pileated woodpecker in my neighborhood a couple of years ago flying to a tree in the next block. This year I saw one that I was able to get a couple of shots from about 50 feet and through the patio door window. Don't think I have ever seen one at a feeder before. Maybe they are having a tough time finding food. Either way this was just luck.

The pastor's message I heard on Christmas Eve was "A baby changes everything" and the baby's birth we celebrate is the baby that changed the world. Thank God.

I think that it should be at least 5 minutes per page so it would allow for breaks and really digesting the context. Would also allow for reviewing any areas. Do it slow and thorough not halffast.

how cute! how did you get him to get on your finger?


As it was walking around, I put my finger up beneath him to show his size. He didn't move away from it as I expected, just kept moving in the same direction and climbed up on my finger when he got there.

Boy! was I surprised and happy.
