Zombie Art Appreciation
We admit it, we zombies don't know much about art. Sure, the Moanin' Lisa's fine and so's the Scream. We can appreciate any artist who's willing to hack off part of himself and save us some trouble. We know what … Continue reading

Comment posted Dunoon Ward count and RESULT by Islay for ever.
Are you seriously suggesting that Donald Kelly's endorsement of the SNP candidate was not known by people in Dunoon ? I suggest it is you who is the joker
Islay for ever also commented
- The Conservative and Unionist candidate had to contend with Conservative and Unionist Councillor Donald Kelly instructing the electorate to vote for the SNP candidate . Time for Councillor Kelly to be put out the party .
- Congratulations to all the elected councillors and to Dick Walsh on topping the poll
Recent comments by Islay for ever
- CalMac geared up to start Campbeltown-Ardrossan ferry service on Thursday night
Fantastic to have this service , I don't share newsroom's pessimism on this . - McGrigor writes to Minister on Campbeltown Hospital
Correction – It was SNP councillors who were "happy" for Struan House to close , not me.
I think it is insane to reduce the facilities to care for old people when their numbers are increasing and set to increase much more . - McGrigor writes to Minister on Campbeltown Hospital
Thank goodness we have one MSP willing to speak up for the Kintyre community .
'Local' MSP Michael Russell has been nowhere to be seen on these issues .
It's past time Argyll & Bute had a MSP to fight for the constituency not one who spends his well paid time trying to destroy the United Kingdom . - Argyll and Bute Council Coalition Cup 2013: runners and riders
Has jockey Donald Kelly given up trying to ride two horses at once ?
Elected as a Conservative & Unionist he prefers now to be known as Argyll First . - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
The issue is not whether people like Nigel Farage , the issue is whether we live in a country where we have free speech .
Clearly , there are people in Scotland , in this case left wingers who support separation who believe their opponents should be silenced by violence if necessary .
Worrying and disgusting as that fact is , the most disturbing aspect of this episode has been the response from what could be called the establishment in Scotland .
The First Minister , other MSPs including all the SNP MSPS ,Green MSP Patrick Harvie , BBC Scotland , Scottish Socialists and too many others have failed completely to defend the right of an individual to free speech against the threats of a mob . Indeed , some have clearly relished the fact that an Englishman got roughed up in broad daylight in one of Scotland's main public spaces .
Sadly we are all the losers . Many like our friend above will now see Scotland as a place to avoid , as an inward looking anti English intolerant land .
Representatives and supporters of the Conservative Party in Scotland have long had to suffer personal abuse , threats and intimidation from these sorts of people and now it appears as if the terror has spread from attacks in cyberspace and on the Conservative Party to anyone who dares to challenge the Tommy Sheridan view of how Scotland should be .
Perhaps we should not be surprised when we have a so called Justice Minister who openly flouted the law over the Community Charge . When Ministers start choosing which laws to obey then the future for our country is bleak and a wave of emigration the likely outcome if they were ever to achieve their ambition of a one party state .

Title: South Park: The Complete Fifteenth Season
Format: DVD
Creators: Matt Stone, Trey Parker
Starring: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Mona Marshall, April Stewart
Studio: Comedy Central, Paramount
Season Rating:
DVD Rating:
Review by: Bill Jones
The Season
After 15 years on television, it wouldn't be unfair to assume most shows would be scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. Luckily, South Park has evolved into a topical satire (though it often still remains a damn silly show) that hinges on weekly trends and can find humor in the mundane of everyday life.

In 2008, I lived and photographed in the state of Wyoming before returning to Baltimore for my final year of art school. I have since returned to Wyoming again in the fall of '09 to photograph. I have a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in Photography and Art History. Photography is not only an escape, it is an exploration. My photographic vision stemmed from my love of the outdoors and my need to preserve the diminishing natural environment. Since 2003, my work has involved landscape, conservation, preservation, and the environment in one form or another. Immersing myself in landscape through hiking, camping, and trail biking has led to many explorations with my camera. I'm currently working as a photographer for Alex Cooper Auctioneers, specializing in product photography, real estate photography, and photo-editing. Please visit www.alexcooper.com I continue to show & sell my landscape work around the Baltimore area.

The Inhibitors are buildings that block the training of enemy Super Minion in the same lane. Once an enemy team's inhibitor is destroyed, the Nexus will start spawning Super Minions (replacing the siege minions if the wave normally includes one) in the corresponding lane on the next wave, along with giving a boost of roughly 100hp to all the regular minions in all 3 lanes for future waves. Regular minions spawned while the inhibitor is down receive additional attack damage. Ranged and melee minions in all lanes receive a bonus amount based on the number of enemy inhibitors destroyed as their wave spawns.
Inhibitors have 4000 hp and no armor or magic resistance.
Each team has 3 Inhibitors on Summoner's Rift and 2 on Twisted Treeline, of which at least one must be destroyed for the Nexus and its turrets to be vulnerable to attack. Every inhibitor is protected by a turret; while this turret is up, the inhibitor is invulnerable to attacks. When all of the enemy team's inhibitors are destroyed, each lane spawns two Super Minions per minion wave.
Destroyed inhibitors respawn after a certain amount of time, resulting in Super Minions no longer being trained and the removal of normal minions' bonus health. The respawn time previously increased every time the inhibitor was destroyed, but since the V184.108.40.206, it is a consistent 5 minutes.
Once its protecting turret is destroyed the inhibitor is extremely susceptible to backdooring. An enemy carry will be able to take down an unprotected inhibitor before a defending champion can recall and walk to defend it. Additionally, one can't directly Teleport to it. Destroying an inhibitor can often be worth more than a few champion kills because of the immense lane pressure that Super Minions will provide, as well as all minions in other lanes.
Notes Edit
Unlike turrets, inhibitors do not gain any armor or magic resistance when no enemy minions are within its sight range.
Damage with autoattacks to inhibitors is based on your base attack damage plus either bonus AD or 40% of AP, whichever is higher.
When the announcer notifies that either your or the enemy's inhibitor will respawn soon, said inhibitor will respawn in 15 seconds.
Trivia Edit
The Inhibitors were sometimes referred to as "Barracks" (e.g. in detailed statistics), the name of a similar building in DotA.

Sisters living out dream with new bakery
GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — One sister loves to bake, while the other loves to decorate their creations — the perfect combination for any bakery.
Michelle Holland, 41, of Flint Township and Shawn Ochs, 43, of Linden will soon see their dream of opening their own bakery come true.
They've been baking as a family for as long as they can remember.
Holland started a business out of her home a couple of years ago, but opening up their first storefront, Sugar Dreams Cupcakery, is something they said still doesn't seem real.
Holland and Ochs hope to have the bakery open within the next week in Grand Blanc Township in the plaza next to Glenn's Tile and Carpet.
"Being able to bake every day, being more creative (is what I'm looking forward to). Right now we are locked into what people order. Now we can experiment and say, 'Let's try this for tomorrow' and see how it goes," Ochs said.
Their goodies won't stop at just cupcakes. The sisters will also make cookies, brownies, bread, pies, cakes for special occasions, seasonal treats and special orders.
Something unique they offer at Sugar Dreams Cupcakery is push up cakes. Push up cakes are layers of cake and frosting put into push up containers.
"We saw a picture online and I was like, 'woo hoo that looks cool!' Every time we take them somewhere we get orders for them," Ochs said. "They're really fun and they're different." Continued...
The bakery itself has a colorful feel to it with green, orange and pink décor. They will have one refrigerated case and one non-refrigerated case to hold a variety of sugary options.
To start off, the baker will offer mainly just coffee as a beverage option hoping to expand once they know what customers will be interested in.
Ochs said although she's always had the fantasy of opening up her own bakery, she would have never had the courage to do it if it wasn't for Holland's ambition.
And they work well together, which is a plus, she said.
"I want them to taste fabulous. Michelle is the artist, she is the decorator. I don't have the patience or talent for that," Ochs said. "We found our balance."
The grand plan of having their own business started a couple of years ago when Holland decided to take a decorating class at Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts and loved it, she said.
She was already baking and making things for other people, but after taking the class a business started to evolve. After seeing things that Holland could make, friends and co-workers began asking her for orders.
The bakery will add a sense of fun into their daily lives, the sisters said. Holland currently is a phlebotomist, drawing patients' blood, and Ochs works for a title company closing settlements.
"This is going to be like vacation. This is the sugar dream," Holland said with a laugh.
Something they are both proud of is that everything they make is homemade and made fresh daily. Continued...
The bakery will be open seven days a week. Monday through Friday it will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. so customers can get something on their way into work or pick up some treats on their way home. The hours are not set yet for the weekends, but they will be shorter.
Ochs and Holland will hire one more employee with baking knowledge to help out.
Holland said she is most excited about them being able to do what they love and making people happy.
"There's nothing better than a good dessert," Ochs said. "We just want everyone to say, 'Yum' when they bite into something."
To contact the bakery call 810-768-3054. For more information and examples of what they have done so far visit Sugar Dreams Cupcakery's website, www.sugardreamscupcakery.com, or their Facebook page.

Strange latency in Windows 7 POD Farm
Like (0)
I have a strange problem with my Line6 POD Studio UX2. I'm using this hardware for more than a year and there was no problems with latency on many different PCs and laptops. This time I installed POD Farm on Toshiba laptop DualCore Windows 7 32-bit.
It's been working perfectly for couple of hours (playing guitar in Pod Farm, with no DAW installed yet), then suddenly without any message or error, started to make latency about 12ms (which is not possible to play), even when trying to set the buffer to minimum, sample rates, bits and everything, everywhere. I tried to disable internal sound cards, install Asio4all, restart, changing settings in bios, reinstall POD Farm and devices to 18.104.22.168, experiment with power supply, GearBox, disable wireless, antiviruses etc... no results.
When I finally installed Ableton Live 8, strange latency suddenly disappeard (I'm talking about playing guitar trough POD Farm). I was really confused. It was working all the day and half of the day after. Recording, playing midi in Ableton, playing trough POD Farm and Ableton itself using ASIO UX2, everything perfect. After half of the second day, suddenly latency appeard as before. I tried every solution I found on the internet, no results. When I turned on my laptop on the third day and opened POD Farm, no latency lasted for 40 seconds then came for eternity.
I have no idea what is this. There was no kind of problems before using PC Win Xp Pentium 4 2,8Ghz and Notebook Samsung Win 7 64 bits i5.
Does Ableton change something in Asio drivers?
Thanks for reading this post
i would suspect possible power management issues... some programs will tell your computer to "stay awake" in certain ways... or to enable multiple cores etc... this can affect performance.... i dont have a solution, but just an area that i would look into.
That was good idea Zap!
The latency appeard because of the power management, which was set to Normal mode. When I set on High Performance everything seems to work perfectly (as long as I tried).
I will examine which part is responsible for this latency and I will post in here what exactly it is.
Thank you
I'm inclined to agree with Zap. POD Farm uses our own proprietary ToneDirect driver to minimize latency, but keep in mind it's your computer's Operating System software that governs/regulates behavior between the physical USB port on the computer to the software programs running on top of the OS layer.
Ableton Live audio preference should ideally utilize the "ASIO UX2" option for lowest latency. But if you've selected that option in Ableton's audio preferences and latency intermittently goes up, that really sounds like an OS issue or possible a USB port/bus resource issue.
It might be good to go through the Optimization Doc: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-4282
Ableton Live audio preference should ideally utilize the "ASIO UX2" option for lowest latency. But if you've selected that option in Ableton's audio preferences and latency intermittently goes up, that really sounds like an OS issue or possible a USB port/bus resource issue.
Exactly! All the previous computers I used were totally fine, with no latency, even much much slower than this now. Trying to set buffer and sample rating in Asio drivers as well as in control panel to minimum, the best latency I could get is 10ms. It's not even through Ableton, but POD Farm itself. As I posted above, possibly it's USB port/bus. I will examine it trying settings in advanced options of power management and I will post the results in here. And of course make this post Answered.
Hey Apacz,
Please try removing any additional unnecessary USB and firmware devices from your computer when troubleshooting this issue. Make sure to connect it directly to a USB port and not a USB hub, extension, or keyboard of any kind, preferably connect it to a USB port on the rear of computer. Try using additional USB cables and every USB port available.
Make sure that you have the most recent version of the Line 6 drivers and Monkey installed as well:
Windows Drivers 220.127.116.11:
Line 6 Monkey 1.41:
Windows 7 has a lot of process's running in the background that can take up your system's resources. We have some tutorials available to assist you with optimizing your Windows 7 system, please follow the links below:
In addition, if you are using a DAW, try decreasing the buffer size on the audio preferences menu. As well as changing the buffer size on the Line 6 Audio-MIDI device menu which is located on the Control Panel. This will decrease latency but can introduce pops and clicks if your system can not process fast the audio fast enough, so you will have to experiment which setting works best for your computer.
Hey Don,
I tried exactly everything of these, because I found this post somewhere on Line6 forum before. Nothing worked.
When I changed power setting to High Performance, it's been working perfectly till the restart of laptop. When turned on next day, latency appeard and it still makes problems. I tried to change all of the power management settings, restarting, usb devices, no results.
Still waiting for any ideas.
Thank you
Hey Apacz,
Glad to see that adjusting the power management for your computer as helped. If upon restart the symptoms have returned it is most likely due to the power management profile not being saved. Upon restarting you will need to make sure and re select the power management profile that you made the changes to in order to reactive the changes.
Hey Apacz,

Anyways just catch me up on the events of the past 10 hours I've been in bed.
Edit: You can tell I've awoken late because I mis-spelt the damn title.

That's because they missed so many easy shots, many right under the basket, that they may feel a conspiracy is playing out against them in their latest loss, this one to Heard County, 44-38 in a non-region game on Saturday night on their home floor.
"It felt like a cap was on the rim," coach Carla Thornton joked after the game.
Despite more shots going out than in, the Lady Tigers were in the hunt until the end and demonstrated plenty of resolve in the game even though they're without a win at 0-6 on the season and 0-1 in Region 5-AAAA.
"We had some real easy baskets and we just couldn't finish," Thornton said. "It kind of flakes your spirit a little bit when you miss those easy ones. I tried to keep the girls fighting and we ran our offense and we had some open looks. Like I said, now we've got to focus on those easy little shots in practice more so we can have some confidence so they can fall for us."
There were positives the team can build on despite the outcome.
The team seemed to played with more confidence, especially in the first half when it led 11-9 after the first quarter and trailed 20-19 at the half.
In the third quarter, it looked like Heard County was going to run away with the game, going on an 8-2 run as shot after shot taken by the Lady Tigers refused to drop.
Troup only scored six points in the quarter compared to 12 for Heard, but the Lady Tigers were only down 32-25 heading into the fourth quarter.
Troup outscored Heard in the fourth quarter 13-12, but it obviously wasn't enough to make up for the seven-point difference.
Another positive for the Lady Tigers is a permanent point guard may have been found.
Sophomore Deaushanique "Dee Dee" Sanders had her best game as a Lady Tiger, leading her team with 16 points as she took control of Troup's game, especially in the second half.
"I just want to try to win for my team," Sanders said afterward. "I want to help them out a little bit, try hard so we can at least get one win. I did good on my free throws, I played good defense, personally I just tried to step it up a little bit."
Thornton said she's worked with Sanders without trying to add additional pressure to her.
"I know we've been kind of hard on her, because we expect so much out of her," Thornton said. "We've been trying to encourage her more and I think that's helped her a lot."
Tamayah Potts followed Sanders with 12 points, and Alexis Leslie added six points.
Troup will have its work cut out for them when it visits Sandy Creek (8-2) on Tuesday.

A hostage-taking incident in Toulouse, France, ended with shots fired, the gunman wounded and the last two remaining hostages freed, police union spokesman Christophe Crepin said Wednesday.
The gunman, who said he was with al Qaeda, took four people hostage at a bank five hours earlier, police said.
He released one of them, a woman, after about three hours, Crepin said, and a second hostage was released about an hour after that.
The incident ended after the man emerged from the bank with a hostage and attempted to shoot police officers, Crepin said.
A hostage negotiator had earlier spoken to the gunman by phone, Crepin said. Described as a man in his 20s or 30s from France's Haute-Garonne region, the gunman was "very, very agitated" during the talks, he said.
Authorities have not officially identified the hostage-taker, security police spokesman Frederic Tamisier said.
He said the two remaining hostages were freed after the shootout, in which the gunman was "not badly" injured.
Toulouse prosecutor Michel Valet said the gunman fired two shots as the action began.
He said the four hostages are all safe and sound.
The hostage-taker is in a Toulouse hospital, he said, but not in a critical condition.

Unique Funding Opportunities
The Lakeland College softball team goes into a new season with a new head coach for the first time in eight years as it opens its 2013 season this weekend at the Finlandia (Mich.) University Dome Tournament in Marquette, Mich.
The Muskies begin their season on Friday against Lake Superior State (Mich.) University at noon and also will face Mount Mary College as well as Finlandia, in all playing a total of three games on the day. The tourney is a prelude coming two weeks before Lakeland kicks off its season in earnest when it travels to Kissimmee, Fla., for the Rebel Spring Games over spring break.
Lakeland finished 20-19 overall last year and 14-10 in the Northern Athletics Conference to tie Dominican (Ill.) University for fifth in the conference. Chad Buchmann resigned after eight successful seasons, and Hailey Dreyer was hired in July as the Muskies' new coach.
Dreyer comes to Lakeland after two years as an assistant coach at the University of Dubuque. She also played two years at Dubuque and later for NAIA power William Penn (Iowa) University, where she was an All-Midwest Collegiate Conference selection on the field and MCC All-Academic off the field.
Dreyer inherits a team that features three cornerstone returning senior leaders in outfielder Heather Haeflinger (Shawano, Wis.), infielder Jenny LaLuzerne (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) and pitcher Erin Henk (Hoopeston, Ill.). All three are three-year letter winners, and each will lead groups at their respective positions.
Haeflinger has received All-NAC recognition each of the past two years, including Second Team All-NAC honors last year when she batted .344 and finished fifth in NCAA Division III with ten triples. She also ranked fourth in the conference in runs scored and tied for the team lead with 11 stolen bases, and will lead the defense in the outfield in center field.
"Heather has had an amazing career here at Lakeland-she really is the spark plug to our program," Dreyer said. "She has an amazing work ethic and her dedication is unbelievable, which is why she is such a threat both offensively and defensively."
LaLuzerne serves as a utility player but has always been in the lineup somewhere the past three years. She's a career .395 hitter and last year led the Muskies with 27 runs batted in. LaLuzerne also was third on the team in hits and added four triples, and she also committed just one error in 109 chances last season.
"Jenny is a kid you can put at any position at any time and not only would she be happy to do it, but she'd excel at it," Dreyer said. "I am excited to see what she can do, and expect big things from her-she has a powerful bat and is a tremendous fielder."
Henk was the team's ace and workhorse in the circle last year, starting 31 of 39 games and logging 194 innings. She finished with a 15-13 record and a 3.68 earned run average, and she ranks among the Muskies' career leaders in games started, wins and innings pitched.
"I expect big things out of Erin on the mound this year," Dreyer said. "She is a talented pitcher who really brings a lot to the plate, both talent-wise and in leadership she will be our No. 1 this year. (And) she'll be even more successful this year since we can limit her innings and she can focus on throwing seven instead of 14 a day, which ultimately will make her a huge threat."
The three returning leaders are bolstered by a group that includes returnees, freshmen, plus two added senior members to the team. It has added up to healthy competition for positions and roles on the team, according to Dreyer.
"We've had an awesome offseason, and the work they have put in has really shown in practice," she said. "The freshman class is really exciting to see-they are hungry for playing time and a start and really put a large threat to upperclassman. I love the friendly competition, you want players on your program that are just as talented as the next, it makes them all work a bit harder to earn that spot in the lineup."
Henk should have help this season, as the Muskies have depth on the mound this year, unlike in past seasons.
Freshman Melissa Noll (Green Bay, Wis.) has, according to Dreyer, "worked hard in the offseason and has made the changes she needed to be successful. I'm excited to see how she will do as she has a lot of talent."
Freshman Alyssa Ciepley (Wood Dale, Ill.), sophomore Elizabeth Zimmerman (Shawano, Wis.) and freshman Natalie Neitzel (Theresa, Wis.) will also get quality time on the mound, according to the coach. Zimmerman backed up Henk last year and was 3-3 with a 6.55 ERA in 31 innings, while Neitzel is a member of the Lakeland women's basketball team and was an all-conference pitcher at Lomira High School.
"Alyssa was lights-out the first two weeks of spring ball, she can hit spots consistently and has a lot of break on her ball," Dreyer said. "Elizabeth has a lot of power and speed, if she can learn to work into our pitching program and become more consistent she could be a really big threat. And we haven't seen anything from Natalie yet as she is also a part of the women's basketball team; however, she had a very successful high school career and I'm excited to have her join us once her season is done."
Haeflinger also is joined by young players in the outfield, including freshmen Kathryn Tighe (Brownsville, Wis.), Ashley Hough (Rapid River, Mich.) and Alexandrya Smaglik (Manitowoc, Wis.).
"I can't say enough about the three-they have really taken the offseason seriously and have bought into the program we are teaching here. Tighe and Hough are extremely powerful-both with their arms and at the plate. I look for these two to step up and make contributions right away to our program. Alex has been dedicated since the moment we had our fall softball meeting-with some more time and experience she is going to be a great player."
LaLuzerne leads an infield that includes a number of returnees. Dreyer said that returning juniors Brittany Jurek (Gladstone, Mich.) and Kaylee Ninnemann (Marinette, Wis.) and sophomores Kate Wallen (Mundelein, Ill.) and Kaitlyn Hoffman (Plymouth, Wis.) are vying for starting spots. Hoffman was a starter last year as a freshman, hitting .330 with 37 hits and 21 RBIs, and Jurek started the first two games last year before a broken wrist sidelined her the rest of the season.
"Kaitlyn has an arm like I have never seen and has great range," said Dreyer. ""Brittany was out last season but has a really good glove and is a natural infielder at any position. Kate Wallen is one of our hardest workers if not our hardest worker, and such a positive motivator on the infield, and Kaylee is a hard worker and has made a drastic improvement since fall ball. She hits the ball with a lot of power, which is going to make her viable to playing as a designated hitter and at first base."
Others playing on the infield include senior Hillary Kammerzelt (Elkhart Lake, Wis.), who played at NAC rival Marian University as a freshman before transferring to Lakeland, where she did not play softball the past two years. Sophomore Becca Elliot (Indian River, Mich.) and freshman Devonna Stadler (Milwaukee, Wis.) also will see time at first base, while Alison Bauer (Fr.-Green Bay, Wis.) has been a pleasant surprise for Coach Dreyer and is expected to start the season at third base.
The Muskies have a trio of experienced players at the catcher position. Juniors Chelsea Gile (Grand Junction, Mich.) and Megan Lawson (Marshall, Wis.) saw time behind the plate last year, and Gile tied for the team lead in home runs (three) and started 38 games last season around the diamond. "She is a natural athlete who has a lot of talent and can play multiple positions," Dreyer said. "If we are struggling in the infield defensively-Chelsea will be one of the go-to players."
Also rejoining the team this season is Jessica Eichner (Sr.-Germantown, Wis.). Eichner was a starter on the team in 2010 and 2011 but did not play last year. "When I talked to Jess early in the fall about coming back to the program you could tell she had that look in her eyes of unfinished business. She is extremely talented and I am excited to see what she is going to do."

There Is Still Plenty to Love With Oracle
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As dominant as database giant Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) has been over the years, it has always resented being in the shadows of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) when it comes to enterprise business services. Today, it finds itself in a similar predicament. But this time, it is salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) surging out of nowhere and forcing Oracle to react to the ever-changing demands of cloud-based services.
Oracle is forced to make these adjustments while fighting off giants such as IBM (NYSE: IBM), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and SAP (NYSE: SAP) which are all eager to eat away at its business and market share. But it's no easy task. The company continues to prove what it means to have become a victim of your own success. It seems that its string of market beating performances have raised the bar so high that perhaps even it can't maintain. Nonetheless, it has always had a lot to prove. Its fiscal first-quarter report was the perfect proving ground.
The quarter that was
On Thursday, Oracle reported revenues of $8.2 billion for the three months ending in August – representing a drop of 2%, missing the Street's expectations by $200 million. However, the company did generate net income of $2 billion or $0.41 per share, which was an increase of 11% on a GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, EPS arrived at $0.53, in line with street estimates.
As an admitted long time Oracle cheerleader, I will concede that the numbers were pretty uninspiring. Not only were the top-line results weak, but its outlook suggest that the coming quarter will be more of the same as it lowered revenue expectations to $9 billion while the analysts were expecting sales 0f $9.2 billion. But that was the extent of the bad news.
What came as a surprise was Oracle announcing not only a pretty significant share buyback program, but also igniting investors with higher-than-expected growth in its software license segment. This was in addition to proclaiming new cost-cutting measures put in place to spark shareholder value. As exciting as these revelations were, it was not as compelling as what followed.
During the call, I felt some chills hearing the company's CEO, Larry Ellison, boast about how Oracle is essentially taking its rivals such as IBM and Microsoft to the woodshed, smacking them around and taking their lunch money. What's more, in terms of the cloud and its future, aside from hinting that there will be new developments to the company's cloud strategy, Ellison said the following:
Exadata, Exalogic, Exalytics and our other engineered systems grew more than 100% in the quarter. For the full year, we expect to double engineered systems sales to well over $1 billion. Oracle's new cloud business is also approaching a $1 billion annual run rate. These two businesses will drive Oracle's growth for years to come.
Moving Forward
This leads us back to my introduction - Oracle has always had a lot to prove. As Ellison noted above, his company has its sights set on the future, and it expects both its growth and its market-beating performances to continue. Ellison continues to show that he and his team are not only able to move Oracle in the right direction, but also that the company plans to taking down its rivals in the process.
As well as Salesforce.com and another rival such as EMC (NYSE: EMC) appears to be performing, I don't think Oracle has much about which to worry. With its leading business applications and leading database software solutions, the company will continue to face much stronger demand for its products, particularly with its increasing integration in business software, hardware, platforms and use.
Bottom line
With the stock now trading at $32, its growth projections suggest a fair market value of $35 - this is even on the most conservative assumptions. The bullish case for Oracle is simple, as businesses continue to strive for growth, it will place more demand on IT services. And as IT services get more complicated, it will require the level of expertise that Oracle provides to manage these complications.
Oracle realizes that it cannot rest on its laurels because the competition for its current business as well as those heading for the cloud is growing fierce – particularly from IBM and Microsoft. However, the question is, can it overcome weak enterprise spending all while adjusting to a sector that has now begun to consolidate? Though these questions remain, I would not want to bet against Ellison.
