On Friday, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. ADR (NYSE:CX) reported its second quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call. Take a look.
Asset Sale Process
Esteban Polidura – Deutsche Bank: I have two questions if I may. The first one, which region should contribute the most to your expected incremental improvement of $200 million in EBITDA this year, mainly if you could give us some rough percentages that would be fine? Second one is, how is the asset sale process going, and how much should we expect to see this year?
Fernando A. Gonzalez – EVP of Finance and Administration: On the first one, which regions, I think as we have commented the effort – it's a global effort, the transformation effort is a global effort, and all regions are contributing. Not only regions, we have significant reduction in corporate expenses for instance for slightly more than 7%, we have things like I think we have commented before, unfortunately we needed to let go about 6% of our employees, and for instance just to give you an example in the case of Mexico it was 10%. So, there are slightly different on one of the region or country basis, but difficult to point specifically if there is one particular provided most of the incremental savings. Regarding assets sales, for the first half of the year, we sold slightly higher than $50 million of assets. If you remember in previous conversation we restated, we started lowering our asset sale target and we guide on a range from $200 million to $300 million. So, we have already executed slightly above $50 million and we are confident that we will do the rest in the second half of the year.
Positive USA Performance
Vanessa Quiroga – Credit Suisse: My question is regarding the USA, if you could help us understand better than a strong performance, with a 19% increase year-over-year in cement volumes. We understand that the breakdown is about 60% of the consumption driven by infrastructure spending and at least 20% from housing. If we take that 26% year-over-year growth in housing starts and about 4% increase in infra spending, we can't get to 19% year-over-year growth, so if you could explain, give us more color, please?
Maher Al-Haffar – IR: Vanessa, thank you, that's a very good observation and the reason that we're outperforming or getting that very positive performance is depending on where we're getting that growth. Most of the states that we are operating in are outperforming the overall U.S. market, and in particular the two most important states that are driving that growth is California and Texas. So you may see a little bit of the skewness compared to the general national statistics. Just to give you an example for instance, the housing starts as you said are up by 27%. If you take a look at our markets, for instance, in April and May we were close to 46% in permit growths of course, right? So that gives you an idea of the differential between ourselves and the national market. It has to do a lot with footprint; it has to do specifically with the accelerated growth in California and Texas. Now in terms of the weights, residential is close to a quarter; that's our expectations in terms of the growth, and of course, it could be a little bit higher in the first half of the year. Industrial and commercial, which is also doing well, is about 16% of the pie, and we're increasing our expectations. As you recall, originally, we were expecting between 6% to 7% growth, and now we're expecting close to 11% growth. Now on the public infrastructure side, which represents close to about 60% of our volumes, we also are encouraged by the growth that we have seen so far. I mean we were a little bit cautious in the beginning of the year, and as you remember, we were kind of flattish to minus 2 for the full year, and now our expectation is probably a growth of about 2%. We think the passage of MAP-21 is going to be very important, not because the bill itself is going to represent a huge increase in expenditure, but because it encourages states to feel comfortable with funding and it also likely to translate to increase in the Federal Highway lending program that was announced along that. I don't know if that answers your question, Vanessa.
Vanessa Quiroga – Credit Suisse: So, would you be able to give an outlook for housing starts in your markets for 2012?
Fernando A. Gonzalez – EVP of Finance and Administration: An outlook of what?
Maher Al-Haffar – IR: Housing starts. We really haven't. What we've done, as Fernando mentioned, we have done is we've given an expectation for the national market, which is about a 23% increase. I think, Fernando mentioned…
Fernando A. Gonzalez – EVP of Finance and Administration: 750.
Maher Al-Haffar – IR: Yeah. But beyond that, I think that if you – there are sources where you can actually go to, Vanessa, and we could certainly work offline with you to get you public numbers, obviously, not our own expectations by state.
Vanessa Quiroga – Credit Suisse: If I could continue with that question about Mexico, so, you mentioned that tough comparison base, but also there is slower than expected performance from formal housing, and if you were to see that this is sustained that the homebuilders continued to have difficulty in funding their working capital and this slower performance continues, would you implement strategies to move your mix towards infrastructure?
Fernando A. Gonzalez – EVP of Finance and Administration: Well, as you know, particularly in the case of Mexico, since several years now we have a very formal and specific effort on developing infrastructure projects. So we will continue doing it and we will do even more than that. Again, I think as commented before, second quarter 2011 is – is or was a very tough base of comparison. So, moving forward, we will have an easier base given that the second half last year in Mexico is softer-based comparison. We have seen also some infrastructure projects (reactivating) and formal construction is also strong. So, the only part pending is to see how formal housing will evolve in the rest of the year.

Sunday's afternoon output was Kobe Bryant's third 30-point performance since transforming into the Masked Mamba. His efforts, along with a stifling Lakers defense, slowed down a high powered Heat offense.
Miami, was without their third all-star in Chris Bosh (due to a death in the family) for Sunday's contest, and that largely allowed the Lakers to put more focus of their defensive pressure on Lebron James and Dwayne Wade. James had a good all around game, but nothing came easy for him, thanks to Metta World Peace. Wade was flustered all game, and eventually fouled out with over five minutes to go in the ball game.
World Peace had a flashback moment, scoring 17 points, grabbing 7 rebounds and totaled 4 steals, all while playing hard-nose defense against James. If he can sustain this type of effort on a nightly basis, this could be huge for the Lakers down the stretch of the regular season and the playoffs. Andrew Bynum posted his typical double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds, abusing the big man of Miami, while his other front-court partner, Pau Gasol, scored a modest 11 points to go along with 10 boards.
Playing with this new sense of motivation the Lakeshow will hit the road once again to face the likes of the Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards and Minnesota Timberwolves this week. If the Lakers can put a nice run together, they could possibly put themselves in the driver seat of the Pacific Division, but first, they must tighten up on the road ASAP.
Ummm yeah…good luck with that Lakeshow!

text: Lincoln[ IMDB ] [ view trailer ] Director Steven Spielberg takes on Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. The film laser-focuses on the months after his reelection that Lincoln spent fighting for ratification of the 13th Amendment. The story is significant, humorous and extremely enlightening, reminding us that political drama can be thrilling if it's centered on a great cause. It's a shame, then, that some of the side stories (Sally Field as the troubled Mary Todd Lincoln and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the combat-hungry Robert Lincoln) feel like footnotes. 149 minutes PG-13.Times and listings are for Friday 3/24 through Thursday 3/30 |

So what are I-Nodes ?
I-nodes are verily data structures which hold information about a file which is unique to the file and which helps the Operating System differentiate it from other files.
$ ls -il test.txt
148619 -rw-r--r-- 1 ravi ravi 125 2006-02-14 08:39 test.txt
As you can see, the inode number of the file is the first number in the output which is 148619. In the entire hard disk, no other file will have this number and the operating system identifies the file test.txt not by its name but by its inode number.Suppose I create a hard link of the file test.txt as follows:
$ ln test.txt test_hardlink.txt
Will the two files test.txt and test_hardlink.txt have the same i-node number ? Lets find out.$ ls -i test.txt test_hardlink.txt
148619 test_hardlink.txt
148619 test.txt
# find / -samefile test.txt -exec rm - {} \;
Or if you know the inode number of the file, then# find / -inum 148619 -exec rm - {} \;
... which will also do the same job.Typically, an i-node will contain the following data about the file:
- The user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) of the user who is the owner of the file.
- The type of file - is the file a directory or another type of special file?
- User access permissions - which users can do what with the file.
- The number of hard links to the file - as explained above.
- The size of the file
- The time the file was last modified
- The time the I-Node was last changed - if permissions or information on the file change then the I-Node is changed.
- The addresses of 13 data blocks - data blocks are where the contents of the file are placed.
- A single, double and triple indirect pointer

Buying Internet Fame: You Get What You Pay For
byIn a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, Kevin Ashton, co-founder of the Auto-ID Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, created a fake Internet person and made him famous (blue verified checkmark! 85,480 followers!) for a grand total of $68. It wasn't hard, as he details in a piece for Quartz: He set up a Gmail account, which enabled him to sign up for Twitter; he Photoshopped an image and auto-generated a name; he ginned up a blog and wrote a Wikipedia entry. Then—and this is the crux of his experiment—he went to Fiverr and paid $50 for 90,000 Twitter followers.
Et voilà: Fame!
Or at least the perception of it, which is what interests Ashton. Most of the Twitter followers he bought are fakes—they're generated by bots, and any following and retweeting is automatic. Buy cheap, get cheap. The problem, he says, is that these days we look to a person's Internet presence, including the size of their Twitter audience, for clues of their offline credibility and legitimacy. And because we who use social media also know this, the business of fakery is booming: Seven of the top 10 services on Fiverr are offers to add Twitter followers, Facebook "Likes," and blog links. Voice-overs are also popular, but I'm going to assume that's unrelated. Obviously, we all want to appear more popular—more influential—than we are in hopes the appearance will beget the thing itself. Fake it 'til you make it, indeed.
Ashton is upset about all this dissembling on the principle that it screws things up for the legitimately famous and influential and the real people of the Internet who would follow them. That's more than a little naïve. By giving everyone a publishing platform, we have turned everyone into publishers; this particular brand of distortion is nothing more than a new way to juice the numbers, something traditional publishers and broadcasters have been accused of doing for years. USA Today is the biggest daily newspaper in America, with a circulation of 1.8 million—about half of which comes from hotel distribution, the not-exactly-free paper that's slipped under your door or available in the lobby. TV networks have their own bag of tricks. So do magazines, and movies, and on and on.
Fame has always been lucrative. The only thing that's different here is that it's easier than ever to affect the trappings of fame—namely, to appear as if you have a devoted following hanging on your every word. But when anyone can become a media company, we shouldn't be surprised when the less seemly parts of media company behavior float to the surface. Still, I'm guessing this is an unsustainable phenomenon, at least for those who hope their artificial fame will bring them real riches. No one ever said the media business model was sound.

While plaintiffs in class action cases ordinarily seek monetary damages, many incorporate claims for injunctive or declaratory relief as well. Injunctive and declaratory relief can complicate matters for courts when it comes time to determine whether a case's amount in controversy exceeds $5 million, as necessary, to support removal under CAFA. This is particularly true when alleged monetary damages alone are insufficient to support removal.
Value of Injunctive and Declaratory Relief in Non-Class Action Cases
For declaratory and injunctive claims in non-class action cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has noted that "it is well established that the amount in controversy is measured by the value of the object of the litigation." A number of courts have clarified that the value of the sought after injunctive or declaratory relief cannot support removal if it is too speculative or immeasurable. Courts have typically taken one of two approaches in determining the potential value of an injunctive or declaratory claim. Some courts—including the Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh Circuits—apply the "plaintiff viewpoint" rule, which focuses upon the value of the right the plaintiff seeks to enforce. Other jurisdictions (including the First, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Circuits) apply the "either viewpoint" rule. Under the latter approach, courts assess the jurisdictional amount by looking at "either the benefit to the plaintiff or the cost to the defendant of the requested relief." A number of these jurisdictions have recognized exceptions to this rule for class actions due to the pre-CAFA prohibition on aggregating the claims of multiple plaintiffs in determining the amount in controversy.
Injunctive and Declaratory Relief Under CAFA
According to the Senate Judiciary Committee's report, removal under CAFA is only proper when the value of the litigation exceeds $5 million from the viewpoint of either party, and "regardless of the type of relief sought." Some federal courts have therefore held that the "either viewpoint" rule governs injunctive class actions, notwithstanding pre-CAFA case law discussed above. Courts applying the "plaintiff viewpoint" rule have recognized that the value of declaratory or injunctive claims should be aggregated to determine eligibility for removal under CAFA.
South Florida Wellness, Inc. v. Allstate
In its recent decision in South Florida Wellness, Inc. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 745 F.3d 1312 (11th Cir. 2014), the Eleventh Circuit considered whether CAFA establishes federal jurisdiction over a putative class action in which the plaintiffs sought only declaratory relief. The Florida state court complaint specifically sought a declaration that the defendant's personal injury protection (PIP) insurance policies did not contain language clearly and unambiguously stipulating that PIP payments would be based upon a statutory fee schedule. Under Florida law, insurers that do not base PIP payments upon a statutory fee schedule are instead required to pay 80% of the reasonable costs of medical treatment.
The defendant insurer removed the case to federal court. In support of its contention that the action satisfied CAFA's amount in controversy requirement, the defendant submitted an employee affidavit stating that if the putative class members received the declaratory judgment, they would be entitled to receive over $68 million in additional PIP benefits. In remanding, the trial court held that the defendant's argument was "too speculative" because the insurer failed to demonstrate that the declaratory judgment "will necessarily trigger a flow of money to the plaintiffs."
In reversing the trial court, the Eleventh Circuit noted that although the potential class claimants "might have to take an extra step or two" to recover damages after prevailing on their declaratory claims, it was not true that "determining that the amount in controversy exceeds $5 million is too speculative of a task." Instead, the court observed that claimants were unlikely to leave the substantial amount of money at issue on the table if they obtained declaratory relief.
The court also stated that this conclusion does not conflict with its determination in a previous case that the amount in controversy requirement could not be satisfied by an injunctive claim that sought to preclude an auto rental company from selling insurance to its customers. While in the previous case the amount in controversy was measured in potential future transactions, the present case concerned transactions that already occurred.
The Eleventh Circuit concluded by emphasizing that federal jurisdiction is not foreclosed by the potential that claimants may not recover the full amount at issue. The relevant issue for removal is the amount in controversy, not the amount that could be recovered.
As South Florida Wellness demonstrates, a defendant can satisfy CAFA's $5 million amount in controversy showing in a declaratory or injunctive action by presenting a detailed and well-supported analysis of the expected costs associated with the proposed relief. Defendants should keep in mind, however, that this kind of analysis may not be feasible in many cases where the requested relief concerns changes affecting future business practices instead of retroactive relief.

Comments about Repti Fogger Terrarium Humidifier:
First off, I would like to say Wag is absolutely awesome to work with. My first fogger worked absolutely awesome.....until it broke after only a week. I called Wag and they had a new one 2nd day air-ed to me. The second fogger lasted only a little bit longer...I called Wag again and they had a return label emailed to me in a few minutes! I would buy from Wag again in a heartbeat, but STAY AWAY from the Repti Fogger.

National Council of Teachers of English
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is a United States professional organization dedicated to "improving the teaching and learning of English and the language arts at all levels of education. Since 1911, NCTE has provided a forum for the profession, an array of opportunities for teachers to continue their professional growth throughout their careers, and a framework for cooperation to deal with issues that affect the teaching of English." In addition, the NCTE describes its mission as follows:
The Council promotes the development of literacy, the use of language to construct personal and public worlds and to achieve full participation in society, through the learning and teaching of English and the related arts and sciences of language.
The NCTE is involved in publishing journals (College Composition and Communication and College English) and books that address the concerns of English language arts educators. Since the 1970s, it has issued annual Doublespeak Awards and Orwell Awards.
As stated on the official NCTE website, The National Council of Teachers of English was founded in 1911 by a group of educators in Chicago, Illinois, known as the English Round Table of the National Education Association.This group wanted to create a professional response to changing needs and values regarding education, particularly English language education. The impetus for this early effort was a concern that school curricula were becoming too narrow and were incapable of addressing the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. A special committee was formed to address these issues.Since this time the NCTE has provided a forum for English teaching professionals to continue their professional growth throughout their careers, in addition to providing a framework for cooperative action pertaining to issues that affect the instruction of English.
These concerned educators at first set themselves a limited task: to explore the problems arising from a rigid, narrowly defined approach to English language instruction. Soon, however, it became apparent that more was needed, and that only a national professional organization would have the ability to affect policy decisions. By 1919 the original investigatory committee had grown large enough to become such an organization. Because of its open-door policy regarding membership, the NCTE from the first maintained a divisional structure, with separate groups representing elementary, secondary, and postsecondary educators.
Over the next several decades the organization continued to grow. By 1948 it was clear that the simple divisions based on grade level were inadequate, and the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) was formed to address the special needs of communication and composition teachers at the college level. This reliance on committee organization proved to be extremely useful, for it permitted interested groups to concentrate their focus on particular issues or trends. Membership grew dramatically in the second half of the twentieth century, and over the years new committees were formed, leading to the five-conference structure in place at the beginning of the twenty-first century. A notable past president was Lou L. LaBrant in 1954 who lived to be 103 and taught for 70 years.[1][2]
NCTE offers its members opportunities to grow professionally by interacting with colleagues in all facets of English teaching. Individuals belong to any of four broad Sections of membership – Elementary,[3] Middle,[4] Secondary[5] or College.[6] They may also join other groups centered on various teaching specialties within English, each with its own journal, meetings, and projects. Major interest groups, called Conferences, serve teachers of college writing and rhetoric; teacher educators in higher education and in-service posts; teachers with an interest in whole language; and English department chairs, K-12 supervisors, and other English instruction leaders. Assemblies are informal special interest groups, ranging in focus from computers in English to research, which meet at NCTE conventions. Commissions monitor and report on trends and issues in the teaching of language, composition, literature, reading, and media. Nearly 50 committees and task forces carry out projects on issues and topics in the teaching of English, among them testing and evaluation, censorship, instructional technology, response to literature, teacher preparation and certification, and English in urban schools.
Strategic governance[edit]
In November 2003, the NCTE Executive Committee adopted a new model of policy-oriented style of governance for the Council. They have studied the meaning and ramifications of the following issues for the organization as a whole.[7]
Political activities[edit]
The NCTE is engaged in a variety of political issues affecting English Education and does so primarily through SLATE: Steering Committee on Social and Political Concerns. According to the NCTE website, SLATE attempts to "influence public attitudes and policy decisions affecting the teaching of English language arts at local, state, and national levels; to implement and publicize the policies adopted by NCTE. As part of its political action function, SLATE will serve as NCTE's intellectual freedom network."[8]
NCTE and SLATE[edit]
NCTE and Slate are involved in many political issues, some of which include:
The Education Reporter, the newspaper of the Eagle Forum, published an article entitled "English Standards Provoke Criticism".[12] The group criticized NCTE for publishing a set of "12 Standards" that 'do not direct educators to teach phonics, spelling, grammar, or punctuation, or provide any suggestions for reading lists.' The article includes information concerning the Department of Education, which initially gave $1 million to support the project but stopped their funding in March 1994. Additionally, The Eagle Forum scoffs at NCTE's new definitions that were set into place, as well as their philosophy that supports non-conventional spelling, bilingual education, non-traditional English use, and multiculturalism. Some of the words with updated definitions include: Standard English, text, language, reading, and literacy. Furthermore, The Eagle Forum is also quoted in saying that, "despite an enormous commitment of time and federal money, the standards have so far had no discernible impact upon student learning."
Present and future[edit]
The NCTE currently has a reported 35,000 members and subscribers in the United States and internationally. This membership is composed of teachers and supervisors of English programs ranging from elementary, middle, and secondary schools to faculty in college and university English departments as well as teacher educators, local and state agency English specialists, and other professionals in directly related fields. Sponsoring over 120 regional, state, provincial, local, and student affiliates within the United States, Canada, and Asian countries, the NCTE continues it rapid annual growth. [13]

311's fusion of reggae and rap-metal was created in Omaha, Nebraska, where singer/guitarist Nick Hexum, DJ/singer S.A. Martinez, guitarist Tim Mahoney, drummer Chad Sexton, and the bassist known only as P-Nut launched the group in 1990. Taking their name from the Omaha Police Department's code for indecent exposure, the quintet began gigging locally and soon moved to Los Angeles, signing with Capricorn Records in 1991. 311 then translated their regional success into national recognition with several key albums, including 1992's Music, 1993's Grassroots, and 1995's eponymous 311 (aka The Blue Album), the latter of which reached number 12 on the album chart, sold three million copies in the U.S., and sported the hit tracks "All Mixed Up" and "Down."
In 1996, following a nonstop year of touring in support of 311, the band released Enlarged to Show Detail, a home video of live performances taken from amphitheater shows in Kansas City and Denver. Transistor, a double album of new songs sandwiched onto one CD, arrived one year later and prompted the group's most ambitious tour yet. The album soon achieved platinum status, and the resulting show dates provided ample material for Live, which was released in 1998 and captured the band's strength in concert. A year later, 311 returned with Soundsystem before jumping to the Volcano label for the release of From Chaos, which appeared in summer 2001. Evolver appeared two years later; unlike its predecessors, however, the album failed to go gold or platinum.
By now, 311 had been together over ten years, and the band celebrated its decade-plus existence with the Greatest Hits compilation. Released in July 2004, the album included all of 311's hit singles, several new tracks, and the band's reggae-tinged cover of the Cure's "Love Song," which had originally appeared on the soundtrack to the Adam Sandler film 50 First Dates. 311 presented new material in August 2005 with the Don't Tread on Me LP, followed by an additional round of touring. Upon its completion, the road-weary musicians took a hiatus, their first break in nearly ten years. 311 soon returned to the studio, however, this time partnering with mega-producer Bob Rock. Heralded by frontman Nick Hexum as "the heaviest 311 has ever been," the resulting Uplifter arrived in 2009. Rock returned in 2011 for the band's tenth studio album, Universal Pulse. In 2014, 311 released their 11th studio effort, the Scott "Scotch" Ralston-produced and independently released Stereolithic.

Parametric Technology (NASDAQ:PMTC): Parametric (NASDAQ:PMTC), which develops product lifecycle management software, is falling significantly after the company provided Q2 earnings guidance of 26c-28c, versus the consensus estimate of 34c. The company's revenue was also lower than expected. "The primary issue in Q2 was that a large European deal did not close in the quarter," said Parametric CEO Jim Heppelmann. "Unexpected dynamics" at the company, which is involved in a "change of control situation…disrupted closure of the deal," the CEO added. The deal is at risk, Heppelmann said. In mid-morning trading, Parametric dropped $5.48, or 20.14%, to $21.72. Parametric peers also declined following the news, with Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) and ANSYS (NASDAQ:ANSS) both in the red in mid-morning trading. The shares closed at $21.46, down $5.74, or 21.1%. They have traded in a 52-week range of $14.25 to $28.95.
Polycom Inc (NASDAQ:PLCM): Teleconferencing products maker Polycom (NASDAQ:PLCM) is dropping sharply after the company earlier this morning preannounced Q1 adjusted EPS guidance of 21c-23c, versus analysts' consensus estimate of 30c. The company's Q1 revenue guidance was also lower than expected. "We estimate that we grew quarterly revenues approximately 7% year-over-year, with each region recording increases. However, the growth rate was below our overall expectations, driven primarily by shortfalls in Asia Pacific and North America," said Polycom CEO Andrew Miller. Polycom said that its Q1 revenue had grown 1%-3% year-over-year in North America and 5%-8% in the Asia Pacific region. Revenue from the company's unified communication group systems products increased 4%-6%, while revenue from unified communication personal products rose 7%-9%, the company added. In a note to investors this morning, UBS defended Polycom, saying that the company's stock is on sale at current levels. The firm believes that demand for the company's products is bottoming, and sees the company as a potential takeover target. UBS maintained a Buy rating on Polycom, which sank $3.49, or 19.19%, to $14.70 in early trading. Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), which also sells teleconferencing products, was also trading lower. The shares closed at $14.56, down $3.63, or 19.96%. They have traded in a 52-week range of $14.45 to $49.12.
Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ): Says committed to growing in line with U.S. wine and spirits industry growth in FY13 and beyond. Says expects consumer take away of its products at retail to continue to meet expectations. Comments made on the Q4 earnings conference call. The shares closed at $21.61, down $3.08, or 12.47%. They have traded in a 52-week range of $16.42 to $24.87.

I have an AP-74 made by Armi Jager (Italian) and was imported by E.M.F. It is also the same gun as the Mitchell Arms M16 A1/22.
I've had this little .22 for 17 years and put between 8,500 and 10,000 rounds through it. I'm wanting to "freshen it up" with a new bolt, firing pin, extractor, etc. as the old parts are rather worn. I talked with someone at Gun Parts Corporation in NY and they told me that the Jaeger Kassnar AP-15 was the same gun and that those parts should fit. I have never seen the AP-15 and was wondering are they basically the same? ------------------ Happiness is a tight group! |

Thanks BBINJ, I talked to a couple of other AP-74 and M16 A1/22 owners who told me the same thing, and I ordered the needed parts yesterday. So it looks like I'll have it back in operation by Christmas.
BTW, I installed A2 hanguards, grip, and "birdcage" flash hider on it a few months ago, and it makes all the difference in the world. ------------------ Happiness is a tight group! |

parts for AP 74
Where did you get parts for the AP 74 or AP 15 or have contact information for the company in New York?
I have a AP 74 .22LR produced by Armi Jager and am looking for a new bolt assembly, hammer, and ammo clips. Thanks |

Pen-and-paper? No, but I know that group there consisted from cleric, rogue, wizard and 5 warriors (with possible alterations). 5(!) tanks in one party, colliding with mobs, forming physical meatshield. It's a bad example.

Where in your mind does it make sense that a boss would attack that one guy that just doesn't seem to die and does very little damage where as this fragile little caster is raping it's health?
The trinity system trivializes bosses because all the DPS and healers have to worry about is staying out of bad shit. THAT'S IT. That's pretty much every damn WoW boss wrapped up into one statement. Tank boss here. Melee stand here. Casters and Healers stand here. Fire spawns there. Move from it.
Removing the dedicated tank (which I repeat, Guild Wars 1 didn't have, I suggest you go try it out) makes it to where everyone has to watch out for themselves, avoid taking damage as much direct damage as possible (by using avoidance skills) and heal themselves. All while making sure the rest of the group is doing fine.
Sentinel PVE Basics for the two Specs that matterOriginally Posted by SW:TOR
5 warriors? what?
Image you have group of Ranger, rogue, bard and wizard... Does this mean this group can't handle every situations just because they lack of dedicated healer or tank?
It's very different approach in designing encounters indeed. But no trinity system also allow more freedom for developers. These encounters are much more dynamic because you never know what will happen within seconds. You have to adapt. In trinity and agro system? 99% of fights are same.. Tank...grab mobs, healer..keep him alive..others..just burn them down.. over and over and over again. Boss fights are full of gimicks to make life of players a bit difficult, but core is same. I know you will argue that bosses fights are always different. It's okey. If you never played anything without trinity system, I understand it's hard to see how it works.
Just wait and see.
IIRC, one of the devs mentioned running a dungeon with five warriors (or was it five rangers? Don't remember. The point is "bring the player, not the class") and they did just fine. So clearly, GW2 doesn't need tanks (or dedicated healers). GW1 didn't need tanks either, as people have been pointing out (I've done every area in the game and not once did I bring a tank when using heroes/henchies and not once were any of my live party members specced as a tank; GW players bring warriors and dervs for damage), though it did have dedicated healers. The reliance on healers, especially in Guild vs Guild matches, was what made ArenaNet take them out in GW2.
I'm looking forward to see how the game'll play without a dedicated healer class, but I'm not worried about not having tanks as that's pretty much the status quo for me. I've played GW1 for over five years and I still think tanks in WoW are weird
(I like parentheses.)
Tried guildwars for 3 hours 15 minutes (bonus points for guessing how I knew it), then removed because it was boring as hell. And guess what, I had a dedicated tank hireling and dedicated healer hireling there.
So what will stop the boss from charging ranged players and killing them in 3 seconds when there are no tanks? Enlighten me, please.
first.. Boss wont probably one shoot ranger like in WoW ...
But anyway...Ranger can avoid damage altogether.. Even when ranger will be hit, he can heal himself. Also..there are other members. Maybe Warrior will just put himself into the charge, enable shield stance and eat charge damage for him? Or Guardian will create force wall to block boss movement? Or maybe elementalist will cast water geyser to knockback boss for few meters but just enough to give ranger second or two to react?
And even if Ranger will die, they can still Rally him during the combat if they can handle situation in some way. Or manually resurrecting. There is tons of options.
Nobody's saying GW1 didn't have dedicated healers. But there weren't dedicated tanks and the warrior henchman you hired was probably Stefan*, who is most assuredly not a tank.
When you are soloing in GW2, you will be responsible for making sure you don't get stomped, like you are in WoW. When you're grouping in GW2, you will still be responsible for your own health, but your party members will also have skills that help mitigate incoming damage. Eles can put up Static Fields that stun enemies who try to pass through, Guardians will have block skills, Thieves and Eles and probably other classes have skills that blind the enemy, causing them to miss. Furthermore, you can dodge and use the terrain to your advantage. Bosses will probably work a lot like they did in GW1, i.e. they went after the target with the lowest armor or health, usually, although I doubt it'll work EXACTLY like it did in GW1 because of the lack of healers. Snares and cripples and launches and knockdowns and knockbacks will aid people in staying out of range temporarily so they can heal up a little before heading back into the fight. I don't see how this is a difficult concept to understand.

They are called henchemen and none of them tanked. If you had made it past the starting area, you would have known that.
Well the ranger can stay and get hit or do the smarter thing and dodge it. They could use a defensive ability. If the ranger was low on health and mana, someone else could move into the path of the boss and take the hit, this means that a necro or elementalist could take the hit to help out the ranger if their health was up. Someone could cripple the boss to slow it down or blind the boss so that it's next attack misses. You know, make use of conditions. Someone could use a knock back on the boss to give the ranger another second or two to move. The ranger could have his/her pet get in the way of the boss. Or the ranger could die and need rezzed/rallied since neither the ranger nor his/her group made good use of their abilities.

Are you equating anything with a shield as a tank? Cause you're so wrong... Riposte Swords warriors and Triple Attack Axe warriors were some of the highest DPS specs you could play.
As for keeping the boss from gimping the ranged, you're still thinking of an aggro system, which guild wars 2 wont have. What will happen is that caster will pop defensive ability (whirling defense, flame wall or earth ward, etc) and the boss will (most likely, haven't played its still in development you know) switch targets.
As for what Mid said about "tank" spec, the most prominent ones were W/ Me Signet Warriors that used skills that brought their health and mitigation up incredibly high (highest I've heard of was about 1000 hp or so which was major in a game that had everyone's max level health at 480) and had like one attack skill (a signet attack that caused damage based on the number of signets you had on cooldown).
And Tackhisis, I'm gonna call you out now. Enlighten me on how a Trinity system or tank system makes sense realisticly (which is what 90% of the games on the current market try to make) because I'm pretty sure that a big ass fucking dragon wouldn't care how much noise or what insult to its mother's honor a person could make as opposed to how much another person's damaging it.
Sentinel PVE Basics for the two Specs that matterOriginally Posted by SW:TOR
I would like to point out that the big issue with getting your health that high means that when playing as a team, you aren't considered the primary target. Even in GW1, most enemies would rather go after the weaker characters (lower health/armor) or the healers. If the enemy is melee creature and you use a defensive skill that aides against melee, then that enemy will often seek another target when possible.
Sentinel PVE Basics for the two Specs that matterOriginally Posted by SW:TOR
sigh, you lot never heard of the good old keg/book-trick?
(no it's not kegfarming from EotN)
Just because your simple, wow spoiled mind can't handle even the thought of it by no means says it is not possible. And this might be a shocker for you, it is this very one trick pony mentality that actually makes encounters in wow so damn easy that they have to think of artificial things like dps minigames (also known as dps rotations) to make the ppl not fall asleep. If all you have to do is stand there and do dmg (and once in a while step out of the puddle under you) THAT is trivializing the encounter. If you have to watch your health (instead of healers doing it for you) and watch the enemy (instead of tanks doing it for you) and help out others (again instead of healers doing it for you) while constantly having to position yourself to avoid as much dmg as possible while doing dps, how is that more trivial than standing there and spamming the sh!t out of your fireball/arcane blast/incinerate/whatever?
How hard a boss hits has nothing to do with how hard an encounter is. Patchwerk was the hardest hitting boss in naxx, still he was a complete joke. Hard hitting bosses are only a matter of equipment and how fast the healer can spam his greater heal. None of both has anything to do with skill. So if you don't need hard hitting bosses for a difficult encounter, why do you think you need a tank for it?
As it has been stated, that was fixed a long, long time ago. Also, when that was viable, items such as those were very, very rare as they existed in only a few areas and a handful of missions. It also took a real player to pick up an item, so henchmen could not do that.
Please don't try convince Tackhisis that the game will work without tanks etc, I'd rather not have his stupid kind in GW2.
i remember tanking on my elementalist. :P
buying cheapest gear get that thing that lowers your HP with 50
and you sat at 55hp (inc low for GW)
Then you specced into E/Mo and you had a talent wich made you not get hit for more then 10% i believe. so you only got hit by 5.5hp max and you kept your healing skill up wich healed for XX HP per second!
tada you almost couldn't die
ps; i do believe that got nerfed rather soon tho
Discussing the points he/she is bring up is about more than just trying to convince them. It also provides more information about the game for those that may have had similar questions about it or for those that may have had some doubts on how it would work out. So even if someone like Tackhisis was only trolling, and I am not saying that they are, then they are causing more information about the game to get out that there may have been over looked before. So it is helpful in the long run.
That was not tanking, that was a farming build. It required to constantly be hit to maintain the costs of the abilities. That meant that you had to solo rather than play with a group. Though there were some duo builds, the other person had to stay back so as to not be attacked. Also, the more creatures hitting you per second, the more healing that was required so you could be killed from pure damage. The original version was pretty much killed early on though bastard version still lives on and is the one everyone knows of.
Interrupts, knock-downs, or enchantment removals would kill anyone going 55 rather quickly. It is because the build is so fragile, that it was never viable for PvP or a lot of the areas in the game.

Actually the only tanks that existed endgame were elementalists and assassins . Getting your health up was the one thing you could do to make sure to never get hit by any mob. Endgame tanking in gw1 was bodyblocking with an invinci build. So it is not the best example here. Midgame on the other hand showed that you don't need a dedicated tank. But gw1 pve had many flaws and is not at all comparable to what they want to do in gw2. So again, not the best example.
Perma-Sin's win better.
And no it didn't, 55 Monk's still work, but they gave a few mobs in UW the ability to remove enchantments (i.e. protective spirit, aka that spell that only allows you to take no more than 10% of your max health) so that 55 monk's couldn't just solo farm UW for Ectos and gear...
Double Ranger Traps w/ Famine was sexy as hell though...
I did a tank-ish build with a W/E as well, I basically just supped up it's energy and used Armor of Earth, Obsidian Armor, and a ward or two, I was slow as hell but I could soak pretty much any Spiker/ Nuker.
There were a lot of possibilities in Guild Wars 1 for sure though, so anything's possible.

Neil Armstrong is best known as the first man to walk on the moon. Armstrong almost never made it to the moon shot program due to the problems he experienced aboard the Gemini 8 mission. That space flight experienced some of the most pressing dangers and excitement of the early space flight missions.
Gemini Space Program
The Gemini space program consisted of 10 mission using the two-man Gemini space capsules. The purpose of the Gemini missions was to try out equipment and techniques to be later used on the Apollo moon missions. The Gemini space flights were carried out over a 20-month period in 1965 and 1966. Mission tasks included "flying," or maneuvering, the space craft and docking with other space vehicles. The Gemini flights ranged from five hours in length to almost two weeks in space.
Gemini 8 Mission Details
Gemini 8 was scheduled to lift off on March 15, 1966. The actual launch occurred one day later at 11:41 a.m. Neil Armstrong was the command pilot and David R. Scott the pilot. The mission was scheduled to last three days. Scheduled mission tasks included the first ever docking between two spacecraft and a space walk. The docking target was the Gemini Agena Target Vehicle, which launched approximately two hours before Gemini 8. The Gemini capsule joined up and docked with the Agena target vehicle 6 hours and 33 minutes after launch.
Problems With the Mission
When the docking maneuver was completed, the Gemini and target vehicle started tumbling in space. Unknown to the astronauts, a short circuit in the orbital maneuvering system had caused one of the thrusters to start blowing out fuel, providing thrust to tumble the spacecraft. After unhooking from the target craft, the spinning of the Gemini increased in speed and the spacecraft was turning at one revolution per second. Neither the astronauts nor ground control knew what was causing the spinning and the pilots were becoming very disoriented.
Armstrong Saves the Gemini
Neil Armstrong saved Gemini 8 by disconnecting the circuit breakers for all thrusters, shutting down the faulty one in the process. Armstrong then activated the reentry control thrusters and was able to control and maneuver the spacecraft. However, using the reentry thrusters rapidly used the fuel needed to return the Gemini to earth and the mission was cut short. Gemini 8 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean just 10 hours and 41 minutes after launch. The astronauts on board had narrowly avoided a disaster in space.
