The heat treatment of gray irons can considerably alter the matrix microstructure with little or no effect on the size and shape of the graphite achieved during casting. The matrix microstructures resulting from heat treatment can vary from ferrite-pearlite to tempered martensite. However, even though gray iron can be hardened by quenching from elevated temperatures, heat treatment is not ordinarily used commercially to increase the overall strength of gray iron castings because the strength of the as-cast metal can be increased at less cost by reducing the silicon and total carbon contents or by adding alloying elements. The most common heat treatments of gray iron are annealing and stress relieving.
Chemical composition is another important parameter influencing the heat treatment of gray cast irons. Silicon, for example, decreases carbon solubility, increases the diffusion rate of carbon in austenite, and usually accelerates the various reactions during heat treating. Silicon also raises the austenitizing temperature significantly and reduces the combined carbon content (cementite volume). Manganese, in contrast, lowers the austenitizing temperature and increases hardenability. It also increases carbon solubility, slows carbon diffusion in austenite, and increases the combined carbon content. In addition, manganese alloys and stabilizes pearlitic carbide and thus increases the pearlite content.
Gray iron is commonly subjected to one of three annealing treatments, each of which involves heating to a different temperature range. These treatments are ferritizing annealing, medium (or full) annealing, and graphitizing annealing.
Ferritizing Annealing. For an unalloyed or low-alloy cast iron of normal composition, when the only result desired is the conversion of pearlitic carbide to ferrite and graphite for improved machinability, it is generally unnecessary to heat the casting to a temperature above the transformation range. Up to approximately 595°C (1100°F), the effect of short times at temperature on the structure of gray iron is insignificant. For most gray irons, a ferritizing annealing temperature between 700 and 760°C (1300 and 1400°F) is recommended.
Medium (full) annealing. It is usually performed at temperatures between 790 and 900°C (1450 and 1650°F). This treatment is used when a ferritizing anneal would be ineffective because of the high alloy content of a particular iron. It is recommended, however, to test the efficacy of temperatures below 760°C (1400°F) before a higher annealing temperature is adopted as part of a standard procedure.
Holding times comparable to those used in ferritizing annealing are usually employed. When the high temperatures of medium annealing are used, however, the casting must be cooled slowly through the transformation range, from about 790 to 675°C (1450 to 1250°F).
Graphitizing Annealing. If the microstructure of gray iron contains massive carbide particles, higher annealing temperatures are necessary. Graphitizing annealing may simply serve to convert massive carbide to pearlite and graphite, although in some applications it may be desired to carry out a ferritizing annealing treatment to provide maximum machinability.
The production of free carbide that must later be removed by annealing is, except with pipe and permanent mold castings, almost always an accident resulting from inadequate inoculation or the presence of excess carbide formers, which inhibit normal graphitization; thus, the annealing process is not considered part of the normal production cycle.
To break down massive carbide with reasonable speed, temperatures of at least 870°C (1600°F) are required. With each additional 55°C (100°F) increment in holding temperature, the rate of carbide decomposition doubles. Consequently, it is general practice to employ holding temperatures of 900 to 955°C (1650 to 1750°F).
The temperature range for normalizing gray iron is approximately 885 to 925°C (1625 to 1700°F). Austenitizing temperature has a marked effect on microstructure and on mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength.
The tensile strength and hardness of a normalized gray iron casting depend on the following parameters:
Combined carbon content is determined by the normalizing (austenitizing) temperature and the chemical composition of the casting. Higher normalizing temperatures increase the carbon solubility in austenite (that is, the cementite volume in the resultant pearlite). A higher cementite volume, in turn, increases both the hardness and the tensile strength. The alloy composition of a gray iron casting also influences carbon solubility in austenite. Some elements increase carbon solubility, some decrease it, and others have no effect on it. The carbon content of the matrix is determined by the combined effects of the alloying elements.
The other parameter affecting hardness and tensile strength in a normalized gray iron casting is the pearlite spacing. Pearlite spacing is determined by the cooling rate of the casting after austenitization and the alloy composition. Fast cooling results in small pearlite spacing, higher hardness, and higher tensile strength. Too high a cooling rate may cause partial or full martensitic transformation. The addition of alloying elements may change hardness and tensile strength significantly.

Chrysanthemum Macarons-an experimental recipe, I still haven't found the right filling to fuse them with..hmm.. |
April 24, 2011
Saturday- On Family and Food..
Just a short note from me..I know you guys are missing me* here's a bucket* =p syok sendiri..ok move on..
1-FYI, we are at my parent house in Melaka now.. We're going to spend the long weekend here till Monday InsyaAllah.. .Most of my sisters are home now and ALL I could tell you is CRAZY!! As usual, the catching up sessions is a hysterical-floor-stomping session of laughter :D and most of all, I really savor every dishes my Mak cooks us and had a big burp on each meal ;p mom's air tangan is the best kan? masak sardine pun sedap..masak ape je pun sedap sgt2.. :)
2-We started our morning with a BIG brekkie [nasi goreng cili padi, kuih tulang a.k.a cakoi, roti bakar] and went up to helped my parents cleaning up their goat stable.. The stable is on top of the hill, hence the UP word..My parents have quite a number of Boer goats, it's like a zoo up there ;p and Adam went frantic [with joy] over them.. He gets to feed the goats and cleaning up their rooms.. cleaning up as pegang penyapu, kuis2 je ;p
3-I'm having a blast so far..but not with the weather!.. Huargh.. We're dealing with some rough nights..it's extremely hot and we all are sweating like h*ll.. Tonight alone, like a baby, I woke up every hour, whining on the hotness..At 3 a.m, I decided to quit my sleep and did blog-walking instead.. It's 5.58am now and the rooster is crowing like mad.. :D
4-As for the goodies, I brought layer cake and chrysanthemum macs for my family. The durian layer is not a big hit.. ha ha My dad said it tastes more like lempok durian T_T The layers are lovely but not the taste, to their liking.. My taste buds said Okay je.. or do I have a terrible taste buds? O-O.. Still, I'll try to bake them other types of layer cake next time.. As for the Chrysanthemum Macarons, I'll update em on my next post.. InsyaAllah.. I leave you guys with the pic at the moment.. hi hi Still far from perfect tho.. T_T *blushing*

Babe, so happy you're having a blast there at your parents'! Wish I could go back to my mum every week, but with MyC's hectic schedule we'll have to wait till her exams are over.
Kinda miss your blogging, you know. So, don't have to be ferasan...hehehe
As for the macarons, for a start they look awesome. Kudos to you, dear! ;)Hi CQ,
sometimes, I jenguk gak kat ur blog hehe
Yerp, I'm using KA mixer.. you can use handheld mixer, but I'm not so sure with the timing and speed since it was set for KA mixer..
all you can do is beat the egg whites until it reach very stiff, dry meringue, as suggested by brave tart.. as seen in photo here..http://twitpic.com/4bunf4..
all the best! ;)

This happened on West Street in Macedon shortly after 6 a.m. Sheriff's deputies say a passing snow plow driver spotted the fire at the multi-family house. He and a village employee helped alert the people inside to the fire. Four of the eight apartments were damaged, but there were no injuries.
The American Red Cross says it is assisting four people with food and clothing.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

An inspection of oak trees at Rinconada Park in Palo Alto after a large tree fell onto Walter Hays Elementary School grounds last month has found one more tree that must be removed, City of Palo Alto's urban forester said.
Read the full story here Web Link posted Thursday, February 14, 2013, 4:38 PM

I believe that part of the issue with these Oaks not surviving is the poor watering or rather overwatering of Rinconada Park. I have lived by the park for over 20 year. OFTEN you can be walking through mud around or under the drip line of these big oak trees. The irrigation does not accomodate their growth.
Once they start watering the lawn again you may as well where some rain boots while walking across the lawn specificallty between the tennis courts and Walter Hays School. The lawn is either soaked or bone dry in various locations.

I was very dismayed to read of these trees being felled. I believe the one that they are scheduling to remove next was the tree that I climbed many times as a child. If it is the one closest to Embarcadero it was the best tree for climbing growing up in Palo Alto. I remember an incident when my little brother climbed up that tree (encouraged by me and my older brother) and had to be rescued by my Dad who had to drive our '42 Chevy woody over to the park. He stood on the roof of the car which he had to pull onto the lawn of Rinconada Park to rescue my brother. I was just walking past that tree the other day and had very fond memories of being cradled in it's boughs for hours. So sorry to see it go but glad that it will be turned into mulch and recycled to help nourish other trees. This is a good way of honoring the life of this tree.
Posted by Native, a resident of the Community Center neighborhood, on Feb 15, 2013 at 6:51 pm
I grew up here, and spent all my girlhood summers climbing some of these oak trees. This really saddens me, as they are like old friends. But it is true that oaks do not like too much water, it gives them root rot. Too little, and they are prone to oak viruses ( my brother is a plant pathologist at UC Davis).
The California Live Oak is a state protected species, and it is a shame that the City Arborist has not seen to their proper care.

I have the qualifications to be a Palo Alto Forester-- see a tree; cut it down.

Friend 1: "Don't worry, you're not as ugly as her" Friend 2: "Oh, thanks." Friend 3: "That was a complisult..." Friend 1: "Oh yeah..." "You can do much better than him!" (That is a complisult because they are saying that the girl deserves more, but they are insulting her boyfriend at the same time.) |
6. | Complisult | ||
A compliment with an implied insult. That dress doesn't make you look THAT fat". "Wow, thanks for the complisult!"

How do you get to the holdem manager reports folder to copy and past the files?
Sthief09 brings you up to speed on the premise of the series and begins getting into stat ranges and the like.
Sthief09 is back for another season, helping out DC's loyal members at 6max NLHE. This season he'll be searching through members' databases in an effort to destroy leaks that have been holding them back. Viewers will learn how to pick up on leaks in their own databases via reading into stats, running filters, and reviewing hands.
Premium Subscribers can download high-quality, DRM-free videos in multiple formats.
How do you get to the holdem manager reports folder to copy and past the files?
yeah that's probably an issue assuming we're not looking at a small sample. I would suspect you're making too many of those protection (not for value, not as bluff) bets on early streets. If your agg% on the flop is in the 50s, that's probably the case. aggression is obviously a good thing in general, but sometimes it hinders your ability to manipulate the pot effectively.
I'd also take a look at the river call efficiency to see if that's low.
If neither of these things are true, let me know and I'll think about some other possible reasons. 46% won at showdown is troubling.
Do you maybe also have some suspicions regards to potential leaks/problems regards to following stats:
Won$atSD = 52,2
I was able to import the filters into my holdem manager, but I don't see where to import the reports? Anybody know how?
Great video, this series is going to be "must see" if this is representative.
fwiw, I have Leakbuster and have liked it, but haven't known exactly what to do with the knowledge that stat X is a leak for me. Screwing around with some of these filters for an hour after watching the vid has already told me more about things I need to work on than I've been able to discover through LB in quite some time, thank you.
I was able to import the filters into my holdem manager, but I don't see where to import the reports? Anybody know how?
Do the same thing for the reports that you did for the filters, except put them in the "reports" subdirectory?
I think we played together on FTP like 5 years ago. I had a Swedish coach at the time (MDMA) and I can still here his voice in my head from when we'd review hands. "Magister Luuuudi"
To answer your questions:
- Yes, this will be much different from App Attack as a whole. It will be similar in concept to the video where I reviewed Lucas' db. It will just be much more in-depth. I've been going through many peoples' databases trying to find people with different leaks so I can run all sorts of different filters throughout the videos. That App Attack video sort of glossed over this, whereas these videos will be a comprehensive look at breaking your game down by filtering. The stats are an attempt to sort of expedite that process by honing in on certain parts of one's game.
- I have two problems with LB: (1) is that they just throw tons of numbers and filters at you and it can be overwhelming. It's also tough to know where sample sizes are insufficient. (2) is that it's a computer program so it lacks any sort of common sense.
My goal for this series is basically for you to be your own LeakBuster by knowing what to look for and how to look for it, using your common sense and understanding of the filters. This video was basically just to get you started. For the rest of them, you'll be able to see how I go about looking at the db of specific players, and there will also be a lot of resulting NLHE strategy discussion.
As you can hopefully tell, I'm passionate about this, and I'm confident it'll be worth viewing even if you have LB. I've been doing this type of thing long before I knew about LB.
This is specifically what i want to see in a video series.
How to analyse specific players, what filters to use to get reads on specific parts of their games we should and can exploit ect.
The filters are absolutely great, and as helpful as it is to have an mri of a leak, it sure is painful watching the action on the hand replayer.
If anyone is interested, I just posted a thread about possibly forming a FULL RING group designed around watching this series, busting leaks, and filling in the gaps specific for full ring, since this series focuses on 6max.
Anyway, if you're interested, check out my thread.
I would love a 25NL one! I have a 100k hand DB if you need it. Another question I have is with having 100K hands, when I do the call river c bet filter only 32 hands show up. Then I do the call river non c bet filter and only 262 hands show up. Are these numbers right? have I only really called a 3 barrel 32 times in 100k hands?
At what sample size do things like WWSF, WtSD. and W$SD start to become meaningful?
at 00:38:46 you mention
if turn c-bet > 55% or turn c-bet success is less than 42%
my flop c-bet is 67%, success 44% vs 1 opponent
my turn c-bet is 47,6%, and success vs 1 opponent only 37%
is that a leak and something i should look more into depth?
(otherwise I did not find any major problems with WWSF, WTSD or W@SD at least with stats)
As you can hopefully tell, I'm passionate about this, and I'm confident it'll be worth viewing even if you have LB. I've been doing this type of thing long before I knew about LB.
I now spend time at least once a week filtering out potential leaks against the regulars in my games. Knowing how they think about poker in very specific spots, their motivations and tendencies will allow you to crush them. Not only that, the underlying thought process you gain from doing this over and over will allow you to make proper and more accurate adjustments against other people.
I've since moved up 2 levels in stake since Josh helped me with that last app attack video. I believe that was about 3 months ago.
This is specifically what i want to see in a video series.
How to analyse specific players, what filters to use to get reads on specific parts of their games we should and can exploit ect.
This! I'm trying to learn more about how to use all that HEM has to offer and this seems like a great idea. Thanks for all the work you have put into this. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
This is true value content, thank you very much and keep it coming!
If you're interested in the filters for river bluffs, you may also want to see the custom stats for HEM from this thread:
Note that these custom stats use different hand values filters than the filter for river bluff in this video, but if you want to get some kind of idea on the efficiency or net$ won of your river bluffs the stat is more useful then the filter by itself because it works like the river call net $ and river call eff. -- that is, it takes into account that the money in the pot prior to the river doesn't belong to you anymore.
I think it may be possible to modify those stats to use the same definition for a river bluff as Josh's filter if PH.HoleCardValue_ID (used in the filter) has the same value definitions as river.madehandvalue does in the stat definition, but I'm not sure and I haven't tried to figure it out yet.

The act of engaging in useless yet intellectually stimulating conversation, usually as an excuse to avoid taking constructive action in your life. Guy 1: "If only I had taken Cindy to my high school prom, I could have fucked her instead of that loser Jeff and then now she would be my girlfriend."
Guy 2: "Dude, stop that mental masturbation right now and go out and meet a new girl!" |
1. | Mental Masturbation | ||
July 31, 2010 Urban Word of the Day
Intellectual activity that serves no practical purpose. We debated and created a perfect system of government, but it was all just mental masturbation, really.
2. | Mental masturbation | ||
the act of engaging in intelligent and interesting conversation purely for the enjoyment of your own greatness and individuality. Subjects range from obscure lp's to cultural movements in preindustrial societies. Either delivered through grand monlogues or subtle conversation orientation, it links large words and random references resulting in nothing acually being communicated. Though the influence of Ric Okasisk was quite evident within Weezer's blue album, rivers coumo domination of the lyrical form seem quite evident in Pinkerton
4. | Mental Masturbation | ||
Intellectual activity that serves no practical purpose. Excessively theoretical, and therefore a distraction from more practicable matters. Dr. Richard Dawkins, noted biological theorist, in response to a student's philosophical question about skeptical attitudes towards science and reality, cited the following anecdote:
<paraphrasing> James Boswell asked, "... nothing really exists unless there's somebody there to see it. How do you refute that?" Samuel Johnson replied, "I refute it thus!", and kicked a stone out of his way. <\paraphrasing> Dr. Dawkins, commenting on Boswell's question, and critiquing the attitude: "If you want to mess about with that sort of mental masturbation, thats fine, but, ... but the science of reality is what gets you through the day, ... and makes things work!" |
5. | mental masturbation | ||
Overly intensive self gratifying procrastination, thought and contemplation for a subject not necessarily warranting such effort.
"Let's quit the mental masturbation here, its a waste of time..."
6. | Mental Masturbation | ||
This is usually announced or thought of after seeing a girl who is distractingly attractive. The act of explaining you like the looks of a girl enough to masturbate too. See, she's hot dude I'm going to ask her out.
Yea I'm masturbating in my head to her. I fucking hate you. I'm still masturbating in my head to her. Still not done, not done, Alright I'm done. I'm going to go make a sandwich. Good Mental Masturbation. Actually, you want to go to Chipotle? Not with you. Thats douchey. |
Term used by visionless people for the groundbreaking ideas that will shape the future. What? A box that can carry voices on a wire to another box on the other side of the world? Dude, that is just mental masturbation.

Sports Update
Rowlett cruises past Longview, advances to face Plano East
By DEVIN HASSON,
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 11:31 PM CST
With the loss of a coin flip, 11-5A co-champion Rowlett drew a little tougher assignment in the first round of the playoffs.
That hardly mattered to the Eagles.
Second-seeded Rowlett (26-3) had few problems with Longview, the third seed from 12-5A, as it coasted to a 74-55 victory on Tuesday in a Class 5A bi-district playoff game at Lindale High School.
The Eagles advance to the area finals where they will face Plano East (28-5), who defeated Skyline, on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Berkner High School.
Rowlett faced a Lobo team that slumped late in the season, going from playing for the 12-5A championship to falling back into the third seed.
The Eagles never let them turn their fortunes around. Rowlett scored 21 points in the first quarter and led 37-28 at halftime.
They put it away in the third, using a 19-10 run to push the advantage to 18.
Jeffrey Carroll scored 23 points, Nathan Hawkins had 18 and Kanard Robinson added 12 for the Eagles.
The area round meeting with Plano East will be the second of the season for the two teams. The Eagles defeated the Panthers, 60-54, at the Garland ISD Tournament in December.

What I am talking about is not the language of tuition in Sweden. All study programs in Sweden are held either in English or Swedish (when it comes to master's level programs almost all of them are held in English). However, if you are looking for information about studies in Sweden you will soon be able to access it in either of the languages above. (For those of you that don't read/write Chinese, Russian or Arabic — those are the languages above, in respective order.)
A Chinese version of Studyinsweden.se already exists, in the form of Sweden.cn/study. The Russian and Arabic versions of Studyinsweden.se are in the making as I write this, aiming for a launch sometime during the summer. Obviously, if you are going to study at a bachelor's or master's level program in Sweden you will need to have a good command of the English language, including proving that you do so through one of the internationally recognized English tests, i.e. TOEFL or IELTS.
So what is the reason for making Chinese, Russian and Arabic language versions of Studyinsweden.se if all students need to know English in order to get accepted to a Swedish university? First of all it gives us an opportunity to tailor the information to the students, since a Chinese, Arabic and Russian student usually have different questions when it comes to what they want to know about Swedish higher education. For example, a Russian student might not have so many questions about the Swedish climate and what kind of food you will find in Sweden due to Russia's relative proximity to Sweden, but have more questions about the Swedish/European educational system since the Russian system differs quite a bit.
Secondly it also gives the parents and other relatives of the student (that might not speak English) an opportunity to read about Sweden as a study destination. We all know that all parents invest a lot of love (and money) in their children and their children's education, so it is only fair that they can also form an opinion of Swedish higher education and life in Sweden.
Thirdly, see it as a token of goodwill and respect towards the non-native English speaking part of the world, which Sweden too belongs to. Even though English is the international language above all, it is not the native language of the majority of the world's population.
I will let you know through this blog when the Arabic and Russian sites are launched. In the meantime, everything you need to know about Swedish higher education (well almost) can be found at Studyinsweden.se (in English). If you just can't wait to read about Swedish higher education in your own language — well, you'll just have to settle for Google Translate for now.

He is one fiesty little guy (Mom chuckles and says it's because he's a red head) He has no problems taking on "IT" and will give as good as he gets.

I must admit I am enjoying the rest from having "IT" constantly in my face wanting to play. I hope every furbody has a wonderful and SAFE 4th of July - stay cool and enjoy the day.

WINDSOR, Ont. -- Chrysler's unprecedented move to reward hourly employees on both sides of the border with a $750 bonus could pump millions into the local economy, a senior economist said Monday.
"A large chunk of that would be finding its way into the local economy, so in that sense it will be beneficial to the region," said Carlos Gomes, senior economist at Scotiabank. "From Chrysler's perspective, it's a matter of providing employees with a 'thank you for all your help in getting us out of a tough situation.'"
About 22,000 U.S. and 7,600 Canadian hourly employees will each receive $750 on Feb. 11 -the first time a noncontractual payment is being made to unionized employees, said LouAnn Gosselin, spokeswoman at Chrysler Canada.
Chrysler employs about 4,400 unionized workers at the Windsor Assembly Plant, which builds the Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan on three shifts.
The payment was announced by Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne in an email Monday morning to employees, as well as during an analysts' conference call to discuss the Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker's fourth quarter results and 2011 forecast.
Marchionne said employees deserved recognition for helping the automaker launch 16 new or refreshed vehicles during challenging times.
"We have had discussions with the CAW and UAW over this issue," he told analysts. "It's in recognition of an extraordinary performance of the industrial system of Chrysler in 2010."
Chrysler's salaried employees -10,000 in the U.S. and 755 in Canada -will also receive a bonus, although Gosselin declined to disclose the amount. "Those details are considered confidential employment records," she said.
Marchionne refrained from referring to the bonus as profit sharing.
"It's difficult to talk about profit sharing when you've got a negative number at the bottom," he said. But, "our liquidity improved in 2010, and it's expected to improve in 2011. It would have been inexcusable not to recognize what our people have done. We owe them a lot and we should pay them for that performance."
Rick Laporte, president of CAW Local 444, expressed mixed feelings about the bonuses. On the one hand, it was "wonderful news that the company wants to recognize workers' critical role in Chrysler's turnaround."
On the other hand, Laporte wondered whether the measure was part of Chrysler's attempts to soften Canadian employees' attitudes toward profit sharing. Unlike the UAW, the CAW has vigorously fought against Detroit Three automakers' push to replace annual wage hikes with profitsharing payments.
"When you start paying workers lump sums like this, expectations grow around stuff like this," said Laporte. "I think it does pave some kind of a road in terms of trying to get the Canadian side toward some kind of a profit-sharing system."
Last week, Ford workers in the U.S. received profit-sharing cheques averaging about $5,000.
Laporte said he's has been hearing questions from members about profit sharing and he expects the measure to be an issue when the current CAW contracts expire in September 2012.
"We'll just have to make sure we do our homework, explain to our workers the difference between profit sharing and getting a raise every year," he said.
"Based on my knowledge, workers won't support it, especially when you see all the facts laid out in front of you."
Chrysler, managed by Fiat SpA, reported a net loss for the fourth quarter and projected profits in 2011, the year it plans to go public.
Chrysler reported a $199 million net loss for the quarter, hurt by high interest rates on the $7.4 billion in loans from the U.S. and Canadian governments stemming from its bailout. Excluding those expenses, Chrysler reported an operating profit of $198 million.
Its fourth-quarter revenue was $10.76 billion, a slight drop from the third quarter because of fewer sales to fleet customers. Fleet sales are typically less profitable than sales to consumers.
Marchionne highlighted Canada's "significant performance," noting that market share rose to 13 per cent last year compared to 11 per cent in 2009. In the United States, Chrysler's market share rose to 9.2 per cent from 8.8 per cent. The company aims to achieve more than 13 per cent market share in the U.S. by 2014, according to its 2009 turnaround plan.
"We have slowly recovered from the low volumes of 2009, up 15 per cent," Marchionne said, pointing to the "significant performance in Canada. Our market share in Canada has been exceptionally good."
Chrysler's global sales last year topped 1.5 million cars and trucks, buoyed by a raft of new models.
For 2010, Chrysler reported nearly $42 billion in revenue, in line with its November financial projections.
The company's annual operating profit of $763 million, topped its November outlook of about $700 million.
Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy in mid-2009.
The automaker is aiming for an initial public offering during the second half of 2011. Marchionne has said the company must report a "couple" of quarters of net income before an IPO.
The company, of which Fiat has a 25 per cent share, forecast net income between $200 million and $500 million for 2011. It expects its 2011 revenue to jump by nearly one-third to $55 billion. Chrysler said its operating profit would be about $2 billion in 2011.
But before a public offering, Chrysler must refinance its government loans for lowerinterest debt. In 2010, Chrysler paid more than $1.23 billion in interest expenses.
