Software AG: Stable Performance Continues in Q2 2009
- Group revenue rises 5 percent to €176.4 million
- Product revenues increase 9 percent to €133.7 million
- Free cash flow improves by 30 percent to €29.8 million
- EBIT margin up from 24.3 to 25.1 percent
- Takeover bid for IDS Scheer: Majority stake secured
- Change of 2009 outlook announced due to takeover
Darmstadt, Germany, 22/07/2009
Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) continued to deliver a solid performance in the second quarter of 2009. Group revenue was €176.4 million, a 5 percent rise year on year (Q2 2008: €168.8 million). The high-margin product revenue (licenses and maintenance) increased by a total of 9 percent to €133.7 million (Q2 2008: €123.2 million), more than offsetting the weaker performance of the service business (down 7 percent from Q2 2008). These figures demonstrate that the company is continuing its profitable growth. Operating earnings (EBIT) improved by 8 percent to €44.2 million (Q2 2008: €40.9 million). Free cash flow rose 30 percent in the second quarter, up from €23.0 million to €29.8 million. In connection with the takeover bid for IDS Scheer AG, Software AG has already acquired more than 10 percent of IDS Scheer AG's stock on the open market. Subject to antitrust approval, this means that including the 48 percent stake contracted with the principal shareholders, Software AG will become the majority shareholder. As a consequence, the proposed acquisition will alter the existing forecast for the current fiscal year.
In the second quarter of 2009, Software AG continued its stable performance despite the persistently difficult economic environment. Unlike many competitors, the company maintained its solid growth due to its robust business model and broad global presence. In particular, this growth resulted from the continuous expansion of the maintenance business with Software AG's stable customer base. This area improved by 20 percent to €73.9 million in the reporting period (Q2 2008: €61.8 million). However, the acquisition of new projects from new customers remained difficult in the second quarter. Nonetheless, licensing revenues were nearly at the same level as in the prior year at €59.8 million. At €41.7 million, revenue from Professional Services was down 7 percent year on year (Q2 2008: €44.8 million). This reflects the trend in the IT services industry, but had only a marginal effect on Software AG's earnings.
The webMethods business division saw further confirmation that new projects and customers are harder to come by in the current market environment, in particular in countries where Software AG is lacking sufficient market presence. Critical size and an in-depth understanding of customers are two important advantages for sustained project success in the webMethods business. In the second quarter of 2009, the revenues from the webMethods activities remained at €75.5 million, roughly the same level as in the prior year (Q2 2008: €76.7 million). The weaker project business was compensated by increased product revenues.
Thanks to the favorable upward trend in Brazil, revenues improved in the ETS business, rising 10 percent from €92.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 to €100.9 million. This was significantly supported by maintenance revenues, which increased by 19 percent to €46.7 million (Q2 2008: €39.3 million). ETS contributed 57 percent of total revenues in the reporting period (webMethods 43 percent).
"Software AG is continuing its profitable growth. A five percent increase in revenue is good in a recession. The basis is our solid business model, in particular our sustainable and profitable maintenance business," said Karl-Heinz Streibich, CEO of Software AG. Commenting on the takeover bid for IDS Scheer AG, Streibich added: "The planned acquisition of IDS Scheer will strengthen our business even more. Our joint strategy will be clearly focused on growth. In the first week after the announcement, we were able to acquire more than ten percent of IDS Scheer stock on the open market. As a consequence, we have secured a voting majority."
Earnings and cash flow
Beyond expanding its revenues, Software AG has also been able to continue to improve its earnings. The EBIT margin rose from 24.3 to 25.1 percent in the quarter under review. As in the past, the improvement of free cash flow is particularly pleasing. It increased by a significant 30 percent to €29.8 million (Q2 2008: €23.0 million). "In expanding our business, we always focus on continuing to improve our EBIT margin and increasing cash flow for the long term," said CFO Arnd Zinnhardt. "This has now put us in a position to fund a considerable portion of the planned acquisition with our own capital."
On June 30, 2009, Software AG had ca. 3,600 employees (full-time equivalents), up 5 percent from the prior year (3,427 employees). With a 14 percent increase to 863 employees, the growth in the German workforce was stronger than in the rest of the world. The above-average rise was a result of the acquisition of a majority stake in the Leipzig based software company itCampus in March 2009.
First half of 2009
Software AG's Group revenue totaled €341.7 million in the first half of 2009 (H1 2008: €328.2 million), a 4 percent increase year on year. In the same period, product revenues were €256.2 million, or 8 percent higher than in the prior year (H1 2008: €237.9 million). Maintenance revenues grew particularly well, increasing by 21 percent to €147.1 million (H1 2008: €121.1 million). Conversely, licensing revenues declined 7 percent from €116.8 million to €109.1 million. Revenues from the Professional Services business were €84.0 million, down 5 percent year on year (H1 2008: €88.7 million).
Revised forecast for 2009
Originally, Software AG's forecast for the full year anticipated an increase in revenue by between 4 and 8 percent and an EBIT margin of between 24.5 and 25.5 percent. The forecast will change due to the takeover bid for IDS Scheer AG (also listed on the TecDax) announced on July 13, 2009, and the expected consolidation of its revenues for ca. three months. "When we publish our financials for the third quarter of 2009, we will also provide a new outlook for fiscal 2009. It is still too early for a detailed estimate at this point," said Arnd Zinnhardt.

We don't know specifics on your build? What ratio rockers are you running?
You could try 1.6 ratio rockers on the exhaust only! It may increase the cylinder evacuation and velocity! If your running 1.6 now on all your valves you can try going to 1.5s on the intakes!
You can increase the lift of an existing cam profile by going to a higher rocker arm ratio. A small block Chevy where the cylinder head runners are not maxed out may benefit from moving up from the stock 1.5:1 ratio to 1.6:1 rockers. But be careful going up more than one tenth in rocker ratio can lead to trouble; there's a limit to how fast you can move and accelerate the valve before the valve spring (that's correct for that cam) can no longer control the system. If a profile was a good design with 1.5:1 rockers, and performance increased at 1.6:1 it'll probably be unstable with 1.65:1 or higher rockers. The correct solution is to design a custom cam profile from the ground up for use with higher ratio then 10% 0ver normal ratio! Over the counter cams are designed for a standard ratio or 10% over rocker any ratio over that design changes spring flex, harmonics, compressed spring pressures seat speed etc!
Special custom ground cams can slow the speed of the valves that high ratio rockers create on over the counter cams!
Myself I run high ratio rockers on the exhaust only that's just my preference but it depends on flow, I start with standard rockers run it and then go higher in ratio run it again, and if performance picks up I'll stay with the higher ratio rockers, if performance doesn't increase Ill drop back to a lower ratio! I don't build an engine and order a cam and put higher ratio rockers on it without knowing the downside or benefits of the rockers! Ive seen too identical builds and higher ratio rockers will benefit one engine and not the other.
Heads are [almost] full ported sportsman II's. Valves are 2.08/1.60. 3 or 4 angle valve job. Intake is a port matched super victor. Who would have thought a super vic would have problems with reversion in the top end? Maybe its the headers not being proper tuned length causing the problem?
Cam is 248/254 at 50. just over 600 lift and 110 LSA. Installed at 106 IC as directed by comp.
|painted jester
Sounds like the valve train is not the problem
The further soot travels up the intake manifold from the head, the worse the reversion problem.
But, your problem gets worse at higher rpm? and reversion usually decreases as RPM increases That's very curious to me
Can you give us a run down on the engine mods especially head and valve work and cam degree install, spring pressures etc
How well your manifold controls reversion pulses and how well it is able to equally distribute fuel and maintain fuel and air flow velocity will determine how large the carb can be and how much power you can make. You can put a band-aid on it with different spacers like sheer or merge or anti reversion plates but that's still only blocking the pulse from reaching the carb the reversion pulse is still there it takes the proper intake or the correct cam to cure the problem!
I'm still curious why the reversion is at the upper RPM range your intake charge and exhaust should be at peek velocity and negating a reversion pulse
My thought that my curiosity draws me to is: If the intake valve is closing on time at lower rpm but slower (late) at higher rpm that would cause a higher rpm reversion pulse! (intake lifter loft, intake spring pressures, intakes bouncing off seats????? It really puzzles me LOL
|What about a reversion dam I in the intake runners at the heads?
Thanks for the detailed replies, keep them coming as I progress through this.
I don't think its valve train harmonics. The studs are girdled and pushrods are firm. I am almost convinced that the problem is a reversion. The intake has black soot inside and it goes all the way up to the bottom of the carb. I noticed the black before but never really took too much notice of it. Making changes to the intake system, i.e. bigger or smaller carb, air filter and no air filter, made changes to when the power dip occurres. Will connecting a MAP sensor and EGT confirm this 100%? Does the EGT sensor need to be right at the head to be a true reading, or can it be at the collector? Will also try a 2" spacer to see if the reversion will change significantly. What else do you guys think?
hcompton funny you mention the tyres. I am using 28x12.5 et street radials so yeah they have no problem putting down the power. Well on the track anyway, they do slip a little on the street. But the dyno guy mentioned that a semi racing tyre with a racing compound and side wall is the worse thing to use on the chassis dyno. He said standard street tyres are the best as they don't flex and twist or heat up under load.
So lets say it is plenum reversion, what to do from there? Is it a bad valve job or port job? Wrong cam timing?
|painted jester
Those are 2 dino sheets right 1 flywheel dyno and 1 rear wheel dyno? They both show the same thing a rythmatic dip and rise! So the if that's the case, the tires drive train etc is not the cause of the dip in power!!
Most dyno runs are at least 3 , One cold eng run, one hot run, and one second hot run to check data against (best run of the 2). There is also data smoothing that takes tire & converter slip and throttle into consideration in printout on some dynos smoothing out the curve but some operators don't use it and read raw data!
Tightening tires down tighter on rollers after first run will drop power readings drastically on a second run! Tire pressure and any drag in drive train is very impotent as Hcomton said! Fluid temps must be at operating temps! Car must be in 1to1 final gear for a good reading.
Your torque dropped right off at 5000 rpm and came up again till 5500 and then dropped off steadily from 5000 on!
Valve train harmonics are whats sticking in my mind as the cause! When the resonance comes to its peak at 5000 rpm and as torque is reduced at 5300 rpm the resonance levels out and torque starts to resume momentarily till the torque band starts dropping off! I would check the valve train, maybe girdle it, push rods could be resonance flexing, Could be cam flex, ETC
Resonance can be through the whole rpm range and have a slow undetectable rhythm at low rpm with not much affect but as rpm and load build: the rhythm increases its wave cycle till it reaches a peak and something physically gives Like push rods, springs, rocker studs, cam!they will flex and absorb the harmonic distortion momentarily like a damper affect and then level out till the resonance begins again repeating the cycle!
|painted jester
Am I the only one that sees the power wave?
Both Dyno sheets show the same problem at about 5100 rpm to 5500 rpm the line graph shows a drop at 5200 to 5600 and the torque on the other sheet shows torque drop at exactly the same 5100 to 5500. The HP gain was about 10 hp for every 100 rpm till it hit about 5000 rpm and it dropped to 4 or 5 hp gain every 100 rpm till it hit 5400 and then made another 10 hp gain fell off again to 4 or 5 hp every 100 rpm at 5500 and then gained at 5800 your sheet does not show a smooth gain in hp it shows a wave! If you make a graph of your hp at every 100 rpm you will see that wave in power gain! The first thing I would check is reversion pulses! Could be harmonics Ive seen this wave when harmonics created a resonance wave that robbed power and created a wave effect like this! If its a harmonic resonance in the engine it will only get worse! Ive also seen it when cold coolant entered the block every time the thermostat opened and a simple change to a hotter thermostat cured it!
What engine are you running and whats your set up?
Maybe I'm too picky and pay too much attention to minor details LOL years ago thet wave would bother me but maybe today thats considered a small thing
"People who run these chassis dynos like to talk about only 25 percent loss through the chassis and related components, like I wish, it doesn't take many installation sins to double that amount of loss."
Its actually an average of 1/3 or even a little more with air and power steering!
I don't know why the afr from the engine dyno isn't included in the chart, but fuel mixture was good at low 12's.
As for the cause of the loss I've been told everything from faulty torque converter, worn dizzy gear, incorrect pinion angle, tyres slipping on the dyno, you name it, even different ramp speeds of the 2 dynos was mentioned. I think the tyres slipping at a particular drive train speed is the most likely cause that I would like to eliminate at the moment. I used et street radials which I have been told can warp and flex a lot under the stress of the rollers. I am going to go back to the same dyno with some nice hard old street tyres, and also make sure the guy connects the MAP sensor so we can also eliminate reversion.
I guess I should wear my glasses more,,,,lol.
The dip is where the torque starts to roll over and the bsfc changes there.I guess thats why I thought 14.5 was the A/F:1
Maybe post the A/F ratios? thanks again shark
I do not see A/F listed on the print out sheet.
A/F @14.5 is a little lean for racing
the rollover in power happens at the point that torque is beginning its decline.
For racing only the A/F is quite lean.
Nice to see the same A/F all the way through the rpms.
as is should be a very fun drive.
carb size is adequate
1/4 mile time
the mph is decent,car should run 11.60s
you have tuning and launch issues,not hp issues
People who run these chassis dynos like to talk about only 25 percent loss through the chassis and related components, like I wish, it doesn't take many installation sins to double that amount of loss.
If this trend was on the engine dyno I'd be hunting reversion issues related to intake and/or exhaust tuning lengths and/or intake plenum volume, metering inclusive of the air correction jets and emulsion tubes, and ignition. This can be ignition as well, my Harley had a hole in the power curve that was cured with the addition of Nology plug wires all the messing with the carb jetting and ignition module did nothing but move it around a little or lesson it some, the Nology's eliminiate it with no other changes being active. Go figure?
The engine will respond differently to its tuning when on a chassis dyno than it will on an engine dyno and certainly different than either when on the street or track. Being a sucessful racer mostly revolves around identifying these problems and tuning them as much as the constraints allow.
About the best advice I can offer short of being there is to only work one tuning item at a time. This is something that grows geometrically if you start making changes to many things at once. The other is to start with the simple things then work to the complex.
The reversion can be limited by a good valve job. Also having the intake slightly smaller than the head so reverse pulses get hung up a bit. Lash will make almost no difference at only .002 tighter.
Just thinking out loud, but perhaps the Vic JR is too big for a 350, compounding the signal issue to the carb? Maybe even smaller headers that might scavenge better around 4000rpms?
Cam is 254/248 @ 050. 614/620 lift. 110LSA. 106IC.
Intake is super vic and headers are 1-3/4" but I don't think they are tuned length.
So is the reversion something like a resonance at a particular RPM that disrupts air flow or signal to the boosters? How do I tune the carb at a particular PRM only? Surely at WOT and 4K its flat out and well and truly on the main circuit.
Could this be a port match problem, i.e. the intake face may be cut too big in some areas and the head port is interfering with flow? Or would that effect flow more as RPM increases, not in a particular band.
Changing intake or headers is not an expense I want to go to at this stage. What about a spacer or super sucker? Or will that just make the dip happen at a different rpm?
You say big cam overlap can cause this, what about if my lash is 002 too tight - could that cause an increase in duration big enough, or is 2 thou stuff all?

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hello Phil,
I have been trying your suggestion of trying
the flash drive in different computers but it is
still asking me to format the disk which I do not want to
because of my information. Any other suggestions?
I don't think there is anything else that can be done. I know you do not want to hear this but I can only tell you the facts and sometimes true facts are not pleasant.
What will the company do that will help me recover my information.
Is that company reliable to get the job done.
Well if there is nothing you can do to help me recover my information, I guess this is it.
I was hoping you guys would have solved my problem. This is my second try at you guys. Why is it that you guys are not able to solve this problem through your service. When someone sees your sight and get the impression that your problem will be solve but when you have to leave without your problem solved, you feel disillusioned and hope squashed. How about help from a colleague, have you tried that to see if you can be helped.

What's wrong with shredded cheese, you ask?
Well for one, it has an additive ingredient called "non-caking" agents that are used during processing so that the cheese stays in its shredded form and doesn't combine into one big lump. Food "agents" probably aren't that healthy.
The big one is that it costs more.
So, it's a little more, right? No. It can be a lot more.
Look at the price of an 8 oz bag of shredded cheese. Then look at the price of a 2lb block of the same cheese. Divide that by two for the price per pound. At the market I shop, the price of shredded cheese is almost twice the cost of block cheese.
Shredded cheese is costing you more money and you spent your valuable time earning that money. If you factor in all of the conveniences that you buy in your life - shredded cheese, frozen meals, pre-marinaded meats, etc... - it adds up quick.
So why do you need all of these conveniences? Answer- because I spend so many hours at work. Why do you spend so many hours at work? Answer- I have to make X amount of dollars to cover my conveniences.
So the big businesses are making money off of you when you work and ding you again on the conveniences and marketing trivialities that you feel entitled to because you work so much and need more time.
Think about it, some things might be worth it, others not. It really is a minor effort to shred cheese.

THE MP for Amersham and Chesham added hope to the campaign against new housing in Chalfont St Peter after promising that a Conservative victory at the general election would see the controversial plans scrapped.
The Labour government has imposed housing demands on Chiltern District Council that could lead to hundreds of new homes being built in Chalfont St Peter.
The historical Holy Cross site and Newlands Park are the most likely locations for building, causing a great deal of concern in the village.
During a public meeting held at The Chalfonts Community College on Saturday, Cheryl Gillan talked with residents about their fears and told them that things would change if her party won the general election.
She said: "A Conservative government would abolish the regional spatial strategies, the regional planning bodies, along with the national and regional building targets.
"Local authorities like Chiltern District Council would then be able to review their local development frameworks to undo unwanted planning policies which have been placed on them.
"The Labour government has pushed local councils into going ahead with
core strategies to enshrine what some have described as the controversial elements demanded by the regional spacial strategies. Alongside this there has been a veiled threat of cutting central funding to councils if they do not fall into line."
Mrs Gillan said a Conservative government would allow councils to determine matters such as the density of housing and what constitutes affordable housing.
Hundreds of people attended the meeting to make their feelings known. Mrs Gillan's comments are being seen as a further boost to the cause, and campaigners are more hopeful than ever that building plans for the village will be scaled down, or scrapped completely.

Volvo Goes Beyond Safety
Volvo Cars is hoping to have a new brand strategy, or at least a new idea for one, by late April, when it names a new global advertising agency to handle the company's image worldwide.
As it plows through the process, though, it's difficult for outsiders to understand why a brand so singularly identified with safety and trust should need a new strategy.
Or perhaps that's the answer to the question of why they need a new brand strategy. For years, the Swedish automaker has been frustrated by its indelible, slightly nannyish image of being the ultimate safe car. Finding that identity limiting, it has dabbled in marketing speed and performance with a few cars in the hopes of exciting men, many of whom view Volvo, much like they view minivans, as a compromise buy after children are born. And it has made its styling more interesting since the late 1990s, giving up the relentlessly boxy designs that characterized its sedans and wagons for more than 30 years.
But sales have plainly disappointed. Volvo in the late 1990s believed it could reach a worldwide sales goal of 600,000 vehicles a year by mid-decade, with 200,000 of those in North America, based on widening its audience and expanding the product line. Last year, it managed just 139,000 in the U.S. and Canada. As the volume leader inside Ford's (F) Premier Automotive Group, though, and with Ford under mounting financial pressure to make all of its brands deliver to the bottom line, Volvo is looking for a new brand idea to elevate its status in the mind of consumers—especially men—and realize its unmet sales goals.
Still Worth a Bundle
Executives inside Ford say Volvo's performance last year was slightly better than breakeven. That's especially disappointing, say Ford insiders, considering Volvo doesn't have the image problems of Ford's other PAG brands—like Jaguar's old rep for quality problems and dated design or Land Rover's singular identification with sport-utility vehicles, the demand for which is decreasing, even in the luxury segment. Luxury-car maker Aston Martin had been part of PAG until it was sold for $848 million to a group of investors on Mar. 13 (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/13/07, "After Aston, Could Jaguar Be Next?").
Despite the lackluster results, Merrill Lynch (MER) recently said Volvo would be worth $7 billion to $8 billion if Ford were to sell the company today. That's a premium above what Ford paid in 1999 to acquire the brand and roughly half of Ford's total market capitalization today. It's more than some analysts have said the entire Chrysler Group (DCX) is worth. That's because Volvo is a legitimate global premium brand with no negative baggage.
To solve the problem of underperformance, don't get the idea Volvo is ditching its "safe" brand equity. "We have to maintain our position as the leader in safety, and communicate that in new, engaging ways all the time," says Hans Krondahl, executive vice-president of marketing for Volvo Cars of North America. Krondahl admits that other carmakers have closed the gap in safety, driven in part by stiffer regulations that all automakers must follow. "But there still has to be a leader, and that's Volvo," he says.
Global Slump
Volvo's sales drop last year in North America and Europe, says Krondahl, was driven by the fact that Volvo hasn't introduced a new design in a high-volume segment in almost three years. The newly designed S80 sedan was launched in January. A new XC70 crossover wagon, which hasn't been redesigned for seven years, goes on sale in October. The C30 subcompact, a new model segment for Volvo, goes on sale in November. And a new V70 wagon goes on sale in January. Based on last year's sales, that means that four of Volvo's eight models will be all new by January, in addition to the C30.
Part of Volvo's problem has undoubtedly been the stinginess of the brand's marketing budget. Worldwide, the brand spent some $150 million last year. Krondahl said that figure will climb by about 40% for the new agency.
Volvo sales haven't only been sluggish in the U.S. but also in Europe—outside of the home Swedish market. And it's been lagging in Asia as well. That's the scope of the problem the new ad agency will have to address. One ad-agency executive competing for the Volvo business says that the task is to make Volvo's safety leadership more relevant, while expanding the trust consumers have in Volvo to Europe, "where safety and trust haven't been as big a part of the brand as they have been in the U.S." Another big concern of Volvo's is building its brand and business in China, where it has little presence but where rivals BMW and Volkswagen have done well.
Volvo's advertising in the 1970s and '80s was nearly as iconic as Volkswagen's ads in the 1960s. The ads, which were often studied in business schools, showed often outlandish demonstrations of Volvo's strength: One showed an elephant standing on a Volvo. Another showed Volvos stacked on top of one another. Another showed a tractor-trailer planted on one.
But that demonstration-style advertising came to an end in 1991, when the ad agency staged a demonstration of a monster truck driving over a lineup of cars, crushing each one except the Volvo. Though the Volvo had withstood one pass of the truck, the car had to be reinforced to withstand the multiple passes required by the video shoot. The Texas Attorney General went after Volvo for fraudulent advertising in a highly publicized case.
Euro RSCG has the Volvo business in the U.S. and developed the current brand platform and ad slogan, "Volvo. For Life." The incumbent agency is competing against Fallon Worldwide, which until last year handled BMW's U.S. advertising and developed the famous BMW Internet Film series. Also competing is Havas/Arnold Worldwide (HAVS), which is known for rekindling Volkswagen's advertising in the late 1990s and is teamed with London ad agency Nitro. Omnicom's (OMC) Amsterdam-based 180 is in the running as well.
What's the Big Idea?
So what's wrong with Volvo? Critics inside and outside of Ford say Volvo should have been leading in alternative-power technology as a natural extension of its safety and family brand image. It's now planning a hybrid version of the new C30 hatchback. But it may be too little, too late. One Ford insider says Volvo could have and should have had a vehicle in the lineup already that makes use of the Ford hybrid system in the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner.
Why doesn't it? Up to now, Ford hasn't coordinated vehicle development at its European brands with Ford North America, or even something as basic as an electrical architecture key to a gas-hybrid vehicle (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/20/07, "Hybrids: Stuck in Neutral").
That's also the reason Volvo won't get the Synch in-car communication system pioneered for Ford vehicles that plays MP3 files from voice commands and cell-phone conversations into the car's surround sound, among other features. "For a brand with so much massive equity and acceptance, there has been a shocking lack of vision in taking advantage of it," says independent marketing consultant Dennis Keene.
The winning agency must come up with a big idea to persuade more consumers to consider Volvo more often and to associate the cars not just with safety but also with security and "smart money," says Keene. "People feel incredibly responsible after buying a Volvo, but the challenge is to make them feel smart and even a little jazzed," he adds.
Poor Scores
And there will be changes to the brand to cope with, such as the likelihood that Volvos will soon be built in the U.S. It's been an idea that has been floated and rejected in the past. But as Ford streamlines its product development between Ford and Volvo and builds vehicles off common engineering platforms, it will only make sense that it maximize productivity and avoid losses from currency spreads by building Volvos stateside. While Volvo executives have fought that move, new Ford CEO Alan Mulally is driving that kind of streamlining. If BMW can build its cars in South Carolina, it shouldn't be a big problem for Volvo's image.
The company has also been notoriously lax in pursuing quality and reliability improvements. In J.D. Power & Associates' Initial Quality Study, which measures consumer-reported defects, Volvo scored 133 defects reported per 100 vehicles in the first 30 days of ownership. That's well above the industry average of 124, and a long way from the 93 scored by Toyota's (TM) Lexus and even Hyundai's 102. The story doesn't get much better for Power's measure of dependability, where Volvo scores 272 problems per 100 vehicles over three years of ownership. That's about twice as many complaints as Lexus.
Such lackluster performance on quality is why Volvo can't afford to let up the gas on its safety positioning. Despite its so-so scores on quality and reliability from J.D. Power and Consumer Reports in recent years, Volvo is by far the most trusted brand in the auto industry. In surveys conducted by Strategic Vision last year, more than 60% of consumers surveyed associated Volvo with a feeling of trust as the leading brand attribute. Toyota came in a distant second, at about 42%. That's a pretty good place to start a brand recovery.

SXSWi 2010
Day One wrapup
developerWorks: I'm Scott Laningham for developerWorks at South by Southwest (SXSW) day one, here with "Turbo" Todd Watson.
I know that you have some thoughts to share about some very very interesting (and, in some ways, "disturbing") changes with the registration process here. I had a few thoughts. But you kick it off because I know you're kind of disturbed about what's happened.
Watson: So 6,000 geeks have invaded Austin, and we're certainly glad to have them, but yes! My event started out yesterday where I didn't have to wait in a line the length of a USSR breadline to get my badge, and that was really disappointing. You know I've been used to sitting around and waiting for hours and hours in line to get my badge. I used to get girls' phone numbers standing in that line. I used to get extensive movie recommendations standing in that line.
That line was like its own crowdsourcing experience. And I'm really ticked off that SXSW has gotten so efficient that the line is no more. So SXSW, bring back that line!
developerWorks: [LAUGHTER] Well, I can say I don't miss that line because when I arrived, it was up and down the escalators last year, and this time it's in a big open ballroom kind of area. And a matter of fact, they have the snaking line that runs around all the poles to help the crowd move and there were so few in the line that to walk your way through that maze, you could see on everyone's face that they were thinking about hopping those things. But I don't think they had the hurdler instincts in them; they were worried about making them all fall down like dominos. [LAUGHTER]
So, I found it very pleasant. The only weird part was standing behind the green line to get your badge while they were printing it.
Watson: Was it better than the Green Zone? Green light?
developerWorks: I guess you could call it a Green Zone. And there wasn't enough Green Zone space behind the green line, so all of those waiting were getting very, very close to each other, let's say.
Watson: Ahhhh.
developerWorks: And some conversations breaking out.
Watson: You know, I have to give them credit, or I was trying to give them credit, because of the expansion. You know, we're now in four different venues. The hotels are all over the place. Many more rooms it seems like here at ACC, the convention center, but I was ... as I was tweeting about that early this morning, cause I was in this Rushoff session, the keynote session at 2 p.m., and there was like all kinds of seats, but apparently down here where we're now, in your Ballroom B, it was way over-subscribed, and in fact, people were really starting to complain.
So I don't know if they over-registered, whatever.
I saw one session here at the end of the day about mobile computing because ... excuse me ... every session at SXSW 2010 Interactive is about mobile computing. And there was a line literally all the way up to Texas capital. I don't know how they're going to get all those people in.
developerWorks: What about Rushkoff? Can you give like the 60-, 90-second recap of that? That looks like a very interesting one. I didn't get to make that.
Watson: You know better than to have me do anything in 60 or 90 seconds.
OK. Well, he started off by saying that it used to be going online was akin to dropping acid and changing reality. And [it] would let us change the world.
Well, here we are, you know, 18 years later (cause you remember Rushkoff's been doing this for a while) and anybody who can go online does so with great triviality. And he was really kind of comparing the environment of technology to the greater world.
If you look at where we are: We're at the point where banks were giving loans to one another because there was nobody that was borrowing money, and there was all this funny money floating around, and I really think it was suggesting an absence of a larger fundamental foundation in the world. From economics to government; and he seems to suggest there's kind of a fatalism, a gloom and doom that's hanging over us that's really pulverizing us.
And if you look at a lot of the shouting matches online, you're for or against. If you look at the political realm, you're for or against. There's a lot of polarity out there and I think he seems to suggest that the code that we're basing all this on ... it's too binary. We need to get ... we need to realize there's a level of complexity there. We all can't be consumers; we need more producers and that includes in the US realm in terms of just manufacturing things. Building things. Creating new ideas. And I think that he's suggesting there's been a deficit there.
So he went on to launch his "10 commands" ... get it? "Program or be programmed." "Commands," not "commandments." And I'm not going to go into each and everyone of those, but as an example he said:
"Thou shalt not do from a distance that which can be done in person."
So, there were a number of these that kind of, I think, mirrored some of the larger comments. Here's what I think. I think you should go and listen to it if you can find it online (they probably put up a podcast [and] certainly you can read some other blog synopsis including on mine here soon) but I think he did a nice job of setting a big-picture setup for 2010.
And then, somebody went and pulled the damn fire alarm, Scott, so we better leave.
developerWorks: You know, listening about what you're ... how you're describing Rushkoff, one of the things that I wanted to do here ... or at least it's just kind of natural for me with all the talk that we do on IBM and developerWorks about the Smarter Planet theme ... is to see how that's connecting with the kinds of things that are being talked about here.
And certainly what Rushkoff was talking about ... about being more productive, about being more (to use that buzzword) innovative ... that certainly goes right along with that idea I would think.
Watson: I think that if you look back at our recent Tivoli® Pulse conference and some of the words of wisdom Al Gore had ... this notion of efficiency, of making better utilization of all the world's resources including it's people by the way, but certainly the precious natural resources ... if you look at the continued need to better understand the relationship the physical analog world and what we're doing with the information technology, whether that's better instrumentation of our vehicles so we can better manage trucking routes or some of those types of things ... better management of our precious petroleum resources around the globe by better exploration and instrumentation of pipelines, so when a pipeline goes out, we know that and we're not spilling oil all over the place.
I mean all of those, including the insight that can come out of that, what we call "new intelligence." I think he was kind of heading in that direction but he's saying we've got to stop and pause, smell the roses, including the real roses, not just the ones in Second Life, every once in a while to help us kind of remagnetize ourselves to magnetic north.
developerWorks: It looks like it's going to be a very good conference and we've got full schedules, you and I, and David Salinas who's going to join us over the next few days to talk some as well, and we'll be reporting back each day at the end of the day (at least as long as we can keep up the stamina to do that) and share the things that we're learning here at SXSW Interactive 2010 in Austin, Texas.
Scott Laningham again with Todd Watson. Glad you're here, Todd.
Watson: Glad to be here and looking forward to the next several days.
developerWorks: Talk to you all tomorrow. This is a developerWorks podcast.

1. Re: Oracle VM 3 with VM Managerbudachst Oct 13, 2012 7:08 AM (in response to 962029)Well… no. Since OVM is based on OVM Manager and the ovs-agent, which is installed on the VM servers, you will need to install OVMM somewhere to make any good use of the VM servers. You could however use OVM Managers cli interface to manage and create VMs and avoid the WebUI, but you won't get around installing OVM Manager.
2. Re: Oracle VM 3 with VM Managernasamang Oct 15, 2012 4:04 PM (in response to 962029)IMHO, if you want Oracle VM without Oracle VM Manager, you should investigate using Xen open source.

Marriage and in-laws
My husband and I have been married for almost 3 years and been together almost 4 years. His parents are getting a divorce (his mom wants out, his dad doesn't) and it made me start doubting my relationship. But it has made us stronger lately. Anyways his mom sends a text to him everyday saying have a great day and whatnot and wants us to travel to her (which is only a 30min drive) to hang out but she passes from one town where she works to the town she is staying(she is staying with her dad) and we are only 10 mins from the town she works at. She says things about how my kids have forgotten her but she is the one not coming around. And completely ignores me now when we used to be close. How do I cope with this and keep my mouth shut where I don't speak whats on my mind?
Hi AlysMommy
Thanks for your post!
Why would your in-laws divorce make you question your own marriage?
Your mother in law is probably going through a very hard time right now, and feeling out of sorts. Be very supportive of her - especially since you used to get along very well - and when you talk to her, remind her of how welcome she is at your home and make a special effort for her to see the grandkids. I know it may be frustrating but don't fan any flames. If anyone should be talking to her it's your husband. He is her son - and he should be the one reaching out.

The seals in my steering rack have failed. Here is a pic where I cleaned the area for inspection:
Take notice of the lower control arm. I sprayed it with brake cleaner - driver side.
Here is driving it 20 miles after just one day. The power steering fluid is weeping through the bellows boot wrapped around the inner tie rod.
The leak is coming from the seals where the inner tie rod fastens into the rack. I searched the forums here and elsewhere (and some help) and I noticed this is not an isolated occurrence. There is some confusion where to source another rack - many choices. It seems getting a brand new OEM replacement is not only expensive but also difficult to source. The refurbished units come in a variety where you could end up with something that doesn't fit or encountering the same leak soon after install.
I contacted Turn One and spoke with Jeff and discussed my options. Basically, they rebuild a lot of steering racks. He quoted me $200 for the entire service and includes dyno testing - they also use all OEM parts/seals. I was puzzled why my steering rack took a dump and he explained he was familiar with the cts-v and explained the steering pump produces excessive heat and is a root cause. It breaks down the seals over time and the cooler is insufficient for maintaining a safe operating threshold esp for sporting events.
Anyways, to avoid getting a wrong part or a 'lemon' replacement, I decided to have the steering rack rebuilt. It is not a quick turnaround time - 3-4 weeks as they have high volume this time of year when sporting events are over and everyone is scrambling to replace/rebuild components. Instead of replacing the steering pump, I'm installing a bigger Fluidyne power steering cooler and replacing all the weeping lines.
Just thought I would pass it along - thoughts/comments are welcome.

/// Western Digital Adds Something New to Hard Drives: Helium
When you think about it, aside from the fact that, over time, they increase in capacity while getting cheaper, there's not that much new about hard drives. They store our digital stuff, occasionally give out, and that's pretty much that. But today, Western Digital is going to announce something a little different and interesting in the world of enterprise hard drives, and you should probably pay attention to it. Starting today, it will begin shipping hard drives packed with helium — as in the inert gas that makes balloons float, makes people's voices sound funny, and which happens to be the second-most-abundant element in the known universe , after hydrogen. It turns out that the insides of hard drives are pretty violent places. There's a lot of high-speed motion, what with the disk platters spinning at several thousand rotations per minute, and the head moving back and forth across its surface. If you've ever held your arm out the window of a fast-moving car, you get some sense of the problem. All that drag from the air limits the number of disk platters that can be stacked inside a single drive. Right now, the standard calls for five platters inside a one-inch-high drive enclosure. Building a sealed drive that's packed with helium eliminates that drag, and thus allowed for platters to be packed inside the enclosure more tightly

Advice needed on where to buy a sailing dinghy
I'm looking to upgrade my Sunfish to a sailing dinghy that can seat my family of four. Since I'm not that handy, I would like something that was manufactured within the past fifteen years or thereabouts.
Here is the problem - I am not having much luck finding listings for dinghies.
Craigslist has a TON of junk. I've been looking for weeks, and have not found more than one or two boats of interest.
The internet sites tend to have higher end boats, perhaps due to the listing fee. Yachtworld and other such sites have hardly any dinghies.
I live in Vermont (not near Lake Champlain). I am willing to travel to take a look at some boatyards, perhaps on the coast of Maine or Massachusetts, but I am not sure if even they carry what I am looking for.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get a dinghy for a fair price? Or do I just need to hope to find one sitting along the road with a for sale sign?
Plan B ?
If you have some room in a garage or shop, you might build your own. Then you would get just what you want...
Chesapeake Light Craft | Boat Plans, Boat Kit, Kayak Kit, Canoe Kit, Sailboat Kit, Rowboat Kit, Paddleboard Kit, Boat Plan, Boat Kits, Kayak Kits, Canoe Kits, Sailboat Kits, Rowboat Kits, Paddleboard Kits, Boatbuilding Supplies, Boat Gear and Accesso
I have seen several examples of home-finished small craft from this company and they were lovely.
Something to think about........
Catalina and Hunter IIRC both have what I would call sailing "Dinghy's" for four folks. As does Vanguard, the current builder of lasers/opti's among other boats. An old C-lark was 14' long, 4 folks of smaller size could fit and sail in it for an afternoon. BUT, I would not call a 12-16' boat as "I" would want for four folks to enjoy a sunny afternoon or evening sail a "Dinghy" A dinghy to me is under 10'.
Another option on the west coast, is Gig harbor boats. They have boats from 8-16 in length, most based on wherry style hulls. CLC linked above, has a 14' wherry that would make a neat build your own, as does Pygmy boats in Port Townsend Wa.
Glen-l and Clark Craft are two other places to get plans and kits for boats of all different sizes too.
I could suggest this one. Marine Scene is well known within the sailing equipment industry for reasons other than just offering good value. We realise the need for practical, suitable attire when boating so our marine shop only stocks brand name sailing clothing and wet weather garments to ensure that you not only look the part but are always dressed for whatever the ocean has to offer.
This wasn't so much a question of what to buy, but rather a question of how to find one.
I had thought about building a boat, but at the end of the day I'm just not handy enough to do it with any confidence. I do appreciate the suggestion, though.
And perhaps dinghy was not the correct term. I just wanted people to understand that I am having a hard time finding a resource that lists smaller boats under 17 feet or so.
I would second looking into boats from Chesapeake Light Craft if youre into that type of boat.
You might try local dealers for Catalina, Hunter and Vanguard/ actually Laser Performance. They may have access to used models of the smaller ones they sell. Or a new one for that matter.
Locally a few YC's use C16.2's for lessons, some of the LP boats too.
I am sure it is the case for YCs Where you are.
Have you considered a Wayfarer? You sometimes get some for sale in the US at the US Wayfarer site, but that site is practically dead. The Canadian site has much more traffic and more for sale. There's also the CL16 which is basically the same boat.
A Wayfarer is a much better boat than any of the Catalina, Hunter, and Vanguards in the same size.
I found my Wayfarer by using one of the external "search all Craigslist" sites, with say a 500 mile radius.
Wayfarers for sale
kilarney are you looking for a small boat or are you looking for an auxiliary? i.e do you want to sail with 4 people or do you want to move 4 people from a bigger boat to shore?
You might be better of with looking "By Name", pick a model such as the Wayfarer mentioned above and search by name/model.
Look at active one design fleets in your area. Almost all 1D fleets have web sites with buy/sell sections. Are there Lightnings around? Trailerable, sails well, fun... should be able to find one at a decent price.

: 3-Barrel Jumbo Weaver?
Has anybody ever used a 3-Barrel Jumbo Weaver? It looks interesting for maybe creating more of a wavy curl than I have. I can't ever figure out how to achieve wavy instead of half-shrunken curly. Here's a link:
Found it on ulta.com. I'm SUPER excited because we just got an Ulta about 20 min away from me!! YAY! I'm searching around for all the stuff I'm gonna go buy and ran across this iron. What do you think?
I'm a 3b, with 3c underneath.
Used to be CG, now I'm not. Using Suave Aloe & Waterlily shampoo & condish, JoiWhip, BRHG, Suave Aloe gel, Aussie Tizz No Frizz, and anything else that looks good!

dragon76Thanks ladies. I do hope that we will have smoother sailing indeed! I did discuss our situation with the lady at the clinic and asked if there were any way that we could do a phone consult from our hospital, or if while DH is there, he could actually get some of the tests done (to make it worthwhile). We haven't heard back from her yet.

WASHINGTON – Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew urged Congress on Thursday to raise the U.S. borrowing ceiling, warning that not doing so could jeopardize Washington's creditworthiness and raise fears of a default.
With the United States closing in on the point where spending will surpass available funds, Lew said it was crucial for Congress to raise the debt cap as soon as it resumes business at the beginning of September.
Failure to raise the ceiling would force spending cuts on many parts of the government, including the military and social security, and "have disastrous effects for our nation," Lew told an audience in Mountain View, California.
"In just a few weeks, we will find ourselves once again perilously close to breaching the debt ceiling if Congress fails to act," he said.
Lew pointed to a 2011 fight over the ceiling that went down to the wire, raising fears that the country would be forced to default on its debt.
Even after politicians struck a last-minute deal to raise it — in exchange for longer term spending reductions — the United States lost its gold-plate AAA credit rating for the first time ever.

#3 Jul 27, 2009
long time ricky rudd fan who met ricky personally at ricky's apperance at shippensburg pennsylvania. ricky was one of the BEST drivers for over 20 years and im sick and tired of all of the underappreciation he has recieved over the years. he could still get it done with these new "bozos" running at the sprint cup level. ricky was just sick and tired of the way nascar was heading in their future. i dont blame him, nascar has become so boring, so trivial nowadays that it is nothing what it use to be. ricky, i miss you and would love nothing more for you to come back to racing but I understand that Linda and Landon must be the focus of your life right now. You inspired me to be a better person and if i had the chance to be a better racer, although i am a badass go cart driver right now.... ricky, you are simply the best driver not to win a championship and you are a champion in my heart forever and for always.... miss you bud
#4 Dec 1, 2009

Love ya Ricky, Shalon

I started watching NASCAR in 88 and was instantly hooked.I remember seeing the number 10 Tide car and I said cool car. After watching the race and hearing the driver and how he spoke, I became a true Ricky Rudd fan . Thanks for some of the best racing I have ever, and will ever see . Racing is not the same without you .

Exhaust Damage Paint
I have a question about exhaust gases and paints. I have just re-ran the exhaust on my 49 Chevy. I opted for a side exhaust with oval tips. (I liked it from a set up on another guys car) Anywhooo, I was just thinking that exhaust gases must be blowing on the the paint when driving down the road, and what about start up, especially with moisture. Does exhaust gases within about 8 inches of the body produce long term damage to paint or promote general corrosion of the body? I am wonderingt because I have seen what spilling gas around a gas door can do overtime, or am I just being to anal again? Confused at the moment. :rolleyes:
As long as the gasses aren't directed at the paint I don't envision any problems. If the water from the combustion products that come out of the exhaust tip during start up on a cold morning don't splash on the paint, you don't have a thing to worry about. Just in case, keep it properly waxed and you are doubly safe.

"This graduation party invitation turned out beautifully, and we've received many compliments on how professional and high quality it is. Highly recommend!"
"I was very impressed at the cards I received from Tiny Print s. The cards looked classy and professional. The delivery time was super fast."
"I recently ordered Photo Graduation Cards for my son who is graduating high school. The design process was extremely user-friendly, and there were so many options to choose from. I was able to design several different cards with different pictures and I loved the "compare" feature where I could choose and compare my designs and easily scroll between my options. Because I had such a small amount of text on my card, I felt confident in choosing the option of sending it straight to print, without having someone proof it before it was printed which allowed for a quicker turnaround time. The card arrived when I expected it, and it was beautiful!! There is a nice weight to the card, and clear sharp photo quality. It really exceeded my expectations! Thank you!!"
"I was looking for simple cards to send to family and this design covered all that I was looking for - nice design, great quality, good price!"
"My school's graduation invitations were so expensive and all of my friends bought them. They were plain and simple with only words, but I was able to buy my invitations from this site with my own picture and the cute fonts that they have available for way less than the boring invitations my school was selling."

Oil Search shares out of gas
Resources Editor
Page Tools
OIL SEARCH shares have been savaged after BHP Billiton let lapse an agreement for its Olympic Dam copper/uranium mine in South Australia to be supplied by gas from the proposed $3.5 billion Papua New Guinea gas project.
Shares in Oil Search, the only locally listed partner in the Exxon Mobil-managed PNG gas project, dived 26¢ or 7.05 per cent to $3.43.
The fall was despite Oil Search managing director Peter Botten saying that the PNG gas project joint venture's remaining conditional contracts were sufficient to underwrite the project, one that involves the construction of a 3000-kilometre pipeline from PNG's highlands to Queensland in the first instance.
"Work remains focused on converting the existing conditional contracts to firm and binding gas sales agreements and pursuing additional markets in the Northern Territory, Queensland and the southern states," Mr Botten said.
Broking firm Goldman Sachs JBWere told clients that BHP's exit was a minor negative for the PNG project and was not unexpected. "It doesn't change our view that the PNG gas project is likely to proceed," the broker said.
The future of the Olympic Dam gas agreement has been in doubt since BHP took over WMC earlier this year. While WMC was not involved in the gas business, BHP has huge interests in Bass Strait, the Otway Basin and North-West Shelf.
BHP has also made clear since taking over WMC that it plans a more leisurely expansion of Olympic Dam than the rapid-fire $5 billion expansion proposed by WMC before it was taken over.
Under the December 2003 agreement that BHP has let lapse, Olympic Dam was to take between 12 and 30 petajoules a year to replace its liquid fuel supplies and to fuel a gas-fired power station at the site.
Exxon Mobil said yesterday that BHP had said it was "not in a position to make a decision regarding a gas purchase for Olympic Dam at this time".
Exxon Mobil's vice-president new business development, Rob Franklin, said BHP's decision would free up capacity and reserves to allow the PNG gas project to advance discussions with other parties.
A go-ahead decision on the gas project is expected next year, with the front-end engineering and design phase near completion.
PNG gas project partners are Exxon Mobil (39.4 per cent), Oil Search (54.2 per cent), MRDC (3 per cent) and Nippon Oil Exploration (3.4 per cent).
