VMWare Slips: Implied Cash Flow Low, Says Stifel; No It's Not, Says UBS
Shares of VMware (VMW) are down $1.56, or 2%, at $70.86, after parent EMC (EMC) this morning discussed its enhanced capital returns program, with some stats that appear to have given the Street some cause for concern about the amount of cash VMware may produce this year.
At issue appear to be remarks by EMC CEO Joe Tucci, who said on a conference call following the report that "I would like to reaffirm our commitment to achieve revenues of $23.5 billion, non-GAAP EPS of $1.85, and free cash flow of $5.5 billion this year."
In a note to clients following the call, Stifel Nicolaus's Brad Reback reiterated a Hold rating on VMware shares, writing that the implied cash flow for VMware is too low relative to Street consensus:
EMC guided cash from operations and free cash flow expectations of $6.825B/$5.525B for 2013, of which VMware is expected to deliver $1.875B/$1.525B. We note that the VMware cash flow figures are significantly below street consensus of $2.373B for cash from operations and $2.013B for free cash flow. Assuming we are correct with our read-through (VMW investor relations is not providing any guidance associated with EMC's announcement), EMC's guidance is 21% and 24% lower than Street estimates for CFFO and FCF, respectively. Given this backdrop, while we are not surprised to see EMC reacting positively to the news (up 6.3%, versus S&P up about 1%), we expect VMWare share to be under pressure today.
A short while later, UBS's Brent Thill responded by reiterating his Buy rating on VMW, and a $105 price target, writing that he spoke with EMC management following the call.
While the company would not comment on VMware's expected cash flow, Thill thinks EMC is just being "conservative" and that there is no actual downside is necessarily implied:
We believe EMC is not providing 'new' cash flow guidance for VMW but rather to illustrate its FY13 FCF assumptions is simply using a conservative FCF estimate for VMW based on flat y/y OCF growth. Therefore no change to our FY13 OCF/FCF est of $2.2B/$1.8B. FQ1 OCF/FCF was +17%/+10%, to get to EMC's figure would imply a OCF -9% for the remainder of FY13 which doesn't make sense considering 2/3 of its ELA renewals which drive OCF are est'd in 2H. FQ1 saw strong ELA renewal trends suggesting healthy outlook for 2H ELA renewals.
EMC shares today are up $1.28, or 5.4%, at $24.94.

On May 26, 2014, I went on Partsgeek.com website and ordered some rotors for my BMW. I followed the steps on the site to pick the right rotors. It turns out the rotors were wrong when I recieved them. I called into their customer service and explained I went through the site and picked them through their site, and the site picked the wrong size rotors. The guy I spoke with said they would send me a UPS label to return the items and gave me a RMA # and said to place this info all over the box. Well I got the RMA # and then never got anything for the shipping label. I then emailed them back saying where is the shipping label and I would get one word responses or emails saying I would be contacted by someone in customer service.
I never heard back, so I called again, (after three weeks of emails) held forever, then re explained the siutation and someone finally sent me the shipping label. [continued below]....

Dirty Minds Think Alike
Funny girl Maya Rudolph had a musical background long before she became famous for shitting in a wedding dress in Bridesmaids and as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. The daughter of '70s R&B singer Minnie Ripperton of "Lovin' You" fame, Rudolph was briefly in the mid-'90s alt rock band The Rentals, fronted by Weezer bassist Matt Sharp and featuring Petra and Rachel Haden. When the Haden sisters' That Dog reunited last summer at the Troubadour, Rudolph and local jazz singer Gretchen Lieberum opened for the band, performing a couple of Prince tracks. Now, the two have formed a full-fledged Prince cover band called Princess — minus the ruffled, pirate shirts and one-sided perm — and are ready to party like it's 1999 again. Good timing: It was only last May that the Purple One took up residency at the Forum. And you may recall seeing fellow cast member Fred Armisen parodying the man-of-a-few-words singer in a recent SNL skit in which he pays Beyonce, played by Rudolph, a visit after having given birth. His baby gift? A smirk. Largo at the Coronet, 366 N. La Cienega Blvd., W. Hlywd.; Thurs.-Fri, May 17-18, 8:30 p.m.; $30. (310) 855-0350.

Several conservative groups, including Minnesota Majority, say they're enlisting "voter surveillance teams" to monitor the November Election. Minnesota Majority's Jeff Davis says the group says they're aiming to prevent voter fraud. He says they'll closely watch and videotape buses and vans dropping off a large number of voters at polling site and will watch for people who are vouching that voters live in the correct precinct to ensure that they know who they are. Davis says they'll also run $50,000 worth of radio ads touting their plan.
DFL Party Chair Brian Melendez says the initiative is less to do about checking for voter fraud and more to do with voter suppression.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Please keep the following in mind:
If you plan on leaving a pug alone for long hours at a time repeatedly, please know that right now is not a time in your life to adopt a pug. Doing this causes behavioral problems and usually results in a dog being returned. These issues and others are considered when we go over your application. The information we get from you will also help determine what type of Pug would be best for your household, an active dog or a more laid back one, a male or female. The sex of your dog can depend on other pets in the home.
Pugs are indoor dogs. In fact, all flat nosed breeds are intolerant of extreme heat or cold. Pugs are particularly susceptible to heat stroke. They need air conditioning in the home and car.
Pugs are companion dogs, love laying in laps and sleeping in bed with you. They are as demanding as children, and must be an integral part of a family unit to be happy (actually, this is true of ALL dogs). Their feelings and well-being must always be taken into consideration. If you don't want a pug following you around everywhere you go, then this breed may not be good for your household.
Adopting a Pug should be considered a minimum 15 year commitment.
A Pug, or any dog, for that matter - will love you no matter what. They will love you wherever you move, so you cannot move anyplace they would not be accepted. They will love you if you lose your eyesight, and you must be committed to loving and caring for them should they go blind. They will love you when you are old and deaf, crabby, inconvenient, incontinent and arthritic, and they deserve the same depth of commitment from you. These dogs (and we) want you to know they are not disposable.
We keep these dogs in our homes, acclimate them to humans, feed and medicate them, transport them back and forth to doctors, and generally spend every waking hour working with and caring for them. We do not ship our dogs.
Although we get some wonderful dogs, we do not guarantee their health. We and our veterinarians estimate their ages as best we can, and our vets take care of every problem we find. If a dog we offer for adoption has a health issue that is not correctable, and we are aware of it, we classify that dog as "Special Needs" and educate all potential adopters regarding that handicap.
If you are a compassionate person who wants to offer a wonderful, deserving dog unconditional love and a great home for as long as your pet lives, YOU ARE THE ADOPTER WE'RE LOOKING FOR!! Please apply and we'll do our best to see that both you and your new family member are happy!
What to expect of PROoF:
All of PROoF's pugs are fully vetted. They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm-checked and checked/treated for other parasites. As needed, they receive dentals, blood work, and/or surgical procedures.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

On 8/9/1940 Williams placed his first order for a bat manufactured to the specifications of Lefty O'Doul on 6-2-33. Williams ordered this model bat exclusively through 7/21/1943, with occasional personal specifications of weight, type of grain, etc. In 1946 when Williams returned from WWII, the model numbering system had been put into place at H & B. The Lefty O'Doul 6-2-33 had been assigned model number O1, and all of Williams' orders through 1946 were recorded as orders for "His O1."
From that point forward, modifications and 'new models' requested by Williams are pretty easy to ascertain. On 4/14/47 a new model using an O'Doul (O1) barrel and McBride (R43) handle was made for Williams. The model was never recorded as "he didn't like them and got another new model." The new model, made off of Williams' "standard model" which was the O'Doul O1 with Williams' modifications was given model number W148. From that point forward, the following models are documented as having been made to Williams specifications as follows:
6/3/48 - Model Made W153
8/20/48 Off Model Sent In W155 (it is possible that this model was manufactured as early as 7/20/48
9/11/50 Model Made W165 -- W155 barrel / H43 handle
9/20/50 Model Made W166 -- "use right barrel."
4/26/51 Model Made W167 -- W166 barrel / G69L handle
7/31/53 Model Made W176 -- M110 barrel / W166 handle
5/25/55 Model Made W183 -- S180 handle / W166 knob
4/11/57 Model Made W197 -- W183 barrel / K55 handle
7/20/60 Model Made W214 -- model sent in use barrel with W183 handle
9/1/60 (?) Model Made W215 -- S215 barrel / K55 handle
Here's a picture of the Coach used bat knob, the only ones w' 215
That's all good information, would you mind sharing the link?
Thing is, it's still a beautiful card and whether people disparage Topps for their "game used" items or not, it's still a fantastic card which, by your own information, appears to contain a bat knob that was owned and used by Williams. Ultimately, no bat piece in a trading card can be verified as having been used in more than BP anyway. In fact, most bats in general will come with some questions unless you get it yourself from the player himself at a game.
Bottom line is this knob came from Ted Williams' bat and I'm good with that.
"This might be one of the best card beat downs I have ever seen. Bravo, my friend, bravo." - The Madbacker, 9/15/2011

This is a very nice Provincial Park with fantastic views! There are trails down to view the beach during low tide and the tide fluxuates 40+/- feet twice each day. The hill going up to the campground is very steep so you need a good head start if pulling a heavy RV. They have wooded sites as well as open meadow sites. We were in site #74 which had an amazing view and I think it was the best in the park. Site #74 is supposed to accommodate an RV up to 30 feet long but you could easily put a larger one on it as long as you park parallel to the road. The only problem with this site is that it can get very windy up there, but the view is one you will not forget. Very nice folks run the park and the campground is very quiet and well maintained. The roads leading to the park are very rough but if you like "dry camping" and are in this area you should really try it out. I gave it a 9 only because the trails needed some attention but that could have been because we were there early in the season. - troutslayer

Definitely family oriented, many children but so very quiet overnight, and grounds are kept very clean. Many residents gather in the evening for congenial campfire chats. 50 amp service and WiFi were both slightly overpowered at peak times, but a surge protector is invaluable in these situations when everyone needs A/C. Wonderful location as tour base. - B and B

Park is mostly catering to seasonal campers. The campsites for daily/weekly campers are varying in size. Don't bother asking which site or trying to reserve a site they will not tell you. Section B where we stayed is best suited for small trailers in the range of Popup campers or at the most a 19 to 23 foot trailer. The owners were putting 32 foot motor homes and 32 foot fifth wheels in spots not big enough to get in. I don't know what the travelers would have done if we had not been at our site to move our vehicles or guide them in. Fire pits are a few feet from your RV when you do get it in so you have no chance of enjoying all the amenities of camping. If you plan on staying connected to the electronic world while you are here do no rely on their "free internet" it is impossible to get on or stay connected to it. As for Television, there are 2 local digital channels available. We experienced issues with the power box tripping with only the AC and one other electrical appliance plugged in. My fifth wheel was drawing less than 20-25 amps at the time.
Our first stay here more than 10 years ago was much more accommodating and this will probably be the last time we go here. - Andrew Hampson

In typical Maritime fashion, we were met warmly. Arriving on a weekend, the campground was packed though quiet in the evening. The sites were very close together and mainly for this reason, we felt the park was overpriced. We were grateful to receive Passport America rate for weeknights. The location is easy to access. The sites are level gravel. WiFi was good. Showers cost $1.00! - rvbravo2

We stayed in this park for a month, Aug-Sept 2016, while visiting family nearby. It is a nice, lovely wooded, quiet park, with easy access to the HWY 101 and Rte 1.
We have a 35ft. Motorhome with tow dolly and had plenty of room to navigate the roads and our lot. The lots are nice sized with picnic tables and firepits. There is a decent playground and pool.
The owner is very nice and easy going. He keeps the park and the pool very clean.
The few permanent residents all have respectable, well maintained homes.
There is a very nice, short, deeply wooded, nature trail following a creek with small falls over mossy boulders which we enjoyed very much.
The laundry room has 2 washers and dryers, $2/$1.5o for 45 mins., only offering cold water wash. This is the only thing we didn't like about the park. We highly recommend this nice park and will stay again when in the area. - Jo and Bob
Sep 2014 - $47.00
Located a short distance from the Highway, it is a heavily wooded campground. The access is down a short steep hill. Obviously most sites are seasonals. We had a back-in full service site that was easy to access for our 60' combined length. Lots of trees though, so take the corners easy and make sure you position the rig to miss the trees on the inside corner, especially at the far end. The site was level and services were well located and good quality. Interior roads are gravel and are OK, but have seen lots better. Not a bad campground, but rather rich for what they offer. Don't think we would return, unless the price dropped to a level commensurate with the quality. - Oriana
Jul 2014 - $44.00
Rate shown for 30 amp site. Our site was a gravel and grass pull-through that required leveling. All hookups worked fine. There was enough room between the pull-through sites, but no privacy. Our table was next to our neighbours sewer outlet. However, this is a large park and some of the back-in sites nearby had more privacy. Lots of mature trees and a couple of trails off both A and B loops. Garbage had to be taken to the front of the campground near the entrance. No cable TV, but found 1 digital channel off the antenna. Wi-Fi worked well enough for e-mail and browsing. We would come here again if in the area. - Onemoretrail

Stayed over long weekend July 31 -August 3. Not impressed. Washrooms were not clean by pool, mud was left there from day before and was not restocked. Understaffed for the amount of campers there. They advertise theme weekends but are not run well because of lack of staff. A lot of extra costs there including pay showers. It was a busy weekend but I have to report the pool was very dirty on the first day we arrived and it was not cleaned for the entire weekend. There is a stench of sewer around the pool and near the games arcade daily. There are many seasonal sites, but most sites are jammed in rows. Picnic table was rotten and we couldn't use it. Probably will not return. Disappointing as we had heard good things. Was not worth the $47 +tax per night. - Famoffive
Jul 2012 - $46.00
They pride themselves on their clean washrooms, but that's where the perks end. This is an over-priced park with nothing for the kids. They have a jumping pillow and slip slide but rarely willing to turn them on. What's the point ? Waste of money in my opinion. - Caper1973
Jul 2010 - $43.00
Sites were relatively level, but because they were not completely grassed there was a lot of dirt tracked into the trailer. The picnic tables were old and there were a lot of ants. They have some great concepts but some things require maintenance. The little wading pool was filthy and I would not let my toddler in it. The campground is quiet and the people friendly. - RiverStone

Beautiful ocean view. Sites were level. No sewer, but dump site was very accessible on the way out. Quiet and comfortable. Fire pits and private. Water smelled so could only wash dishes, would not even try to shower. Talked to other campers on other side of campground and they said their water was fine. Had to back in to site but was easy enough, lots of room. Overall a very nice campground. We would camp there again. - B G

We stayed with 3 other rigs over the Victoria Day weekend. This is a friendly campground and check in was easy. There are a number of seasonal sites, but they seem to have left the best ones for visitors. We had a good end site, with an unobstructed view of the Bay and a large grassy area in front of us. The site was of a decent size, although some were smaller, with a grassy surface. We did not use the washrooms but others in our group did and commented that they needed renovation. We could not get the WiFi at our site, although I understand it was accessible closer to the office and entrance. A nice place to stay. - The Pulfs

We stayed for 2 nights in late September. The owner was very accommodating, helping us to level our camper using wood planks and giving us electricity (since he put us in a tent site and provided 20 amp service through a power cord). It was raining very hard but he took the time to make sure we were happy with our site and everything was working properly.
This is an isolated spot so not for someone looking for a lot of campground activities, shopping, etc. It is about 4 miles to Advocate Harbour, where there is a modest grocery store, gas / diesel, etc. There is also a fantastic restaurant there, called Wild Caraway. There is a restaurant / cafe right next to the campground, but it was closed when we were there.
The view is the draw here. Water comes up within 25' of your camper as it is right on the beach at the breakwall. This is home to the huge Fundy tides and it is very relaxing to just watch the tide come in and out. There is great beach walking when the tide is out and lots of fossils. Joggins Fossil Center is about 1 hour away up a road that at times, is not so good, but passable. - Cape Cod kayaker
Aug 2016 - $32.00
Rate is Canadian $. What a unique campground where you can watch the Fundy tide rise to within feet of your campsite, visit the on-site lighthouse, and cook lobster from the "lobster lady" who lives nearby. Great location to visit attractions in this off-the-beaten-track area. The campground is bare-bones, but with E/W/S which all worked well. The owners and staff are very friendly and hard-working. Cell/data reception was excellent. It's just a fun place to be. - Mingo Papa

This was a very nice Passport America Park. The people at check-in were very friendly and they had one of their employees guide us to our site. The sites are wide and long enough to accommodate 45' rigs. Their is a gate access key which you pay a deposit for at check-in which is good for added security. The roads to the RV sites are dirt and it creates quite a bit of dust. We would definitely camp here again. - Larry Hamblin

This is one of the seven self-registration campgrounds in Nova Scotia, which means that there are minimal staff on site, primarily for maintenance purposes. This means there are few, if any staff run activities at this park. However, this campground participates in the campground host program, so hosts are available to assist and answer campers questions. While reservations can be made online, onsite self registration is easy with a free 'yellow' phone at the park entrance that connects you to a reservation clerk. There is no reservation fee for onsite reservations.
Cell phone coverage within the park is almost non-existent, though you may be able to get a signal at the entrance to the park. There also is a payphone and spotty Internet access at the entrance at the park entrance. All sites are unserviced, with most sites being grass covered and quite large. There is a dump station with a hose for black tank flushes and there are water spigots throughout the park for filling your fresh water tank. The campground tends to fill-up on weekends but during the weekdays that we were there in mid-July, there were only half a dozen other campers. There is a clean washroom with free hot showers and a dishwashing station.
There is a day use picnic area near the entrance to the park, but separate from the campground.
The nearby town of Windsor has all the services you might need. A short distance from the campground on NS 14 there is a gas station that sells diesel, has a NS liquor outlet, and small convenience store. Good luck trying to enter the address of the campground into your GPS as there are two Brooklyn's in Nova Scotia. Ask for directions when making your reservation. - driftdiver1

We stayed here for one night. The sites were very spacious. The washrooms were kept exceptionally clean. There were only 5 campers registered for the night we were here, which we found a little too quiet. We moved on the next day. The park really is quite nice, I don't know why it isn't more popular. - Rockwood

We tented on site 58 for 2 nights. during the week, this park is VERY quiet with not many campers, however as Friday came the park filled up. Due to large sites, you did not feel crowded and still managed to enjoy yourself. We opted for an open site, there are many water spigots to fill up or get dishes done. RV's might need to "rough it" however, the park is worth it for privacy & sound Spotty GSM cell reception, satellite radio was no problem. - thecyr

If it hadn't been for the Bay of Fundy and Tides we probably would have stayed at the Provincial Campground. As mentioned, the view of the bay was absolutely awesome.
The new owner most likely has numerous projects for upgrades but seems he was just getting started.
Our site provided a beautiful full view of the bay and enjoyed waking to this each morning.
As mentioned - grocery stores not close by.
Washrooms/showers/laundry in need of some real TLC
As campers came and went, there was no staff checking or cleaning the sites - thanks goodness for thoughtful campers. - Officer Bobby

From your campsite, a huge expanse of Bay of Fundy mud flats opens up as the tide falls. Few can resist walking in the mud, which is thick enough to suck off shoes. The secret to easy movement is to walk in the stream beds that form as low tide approaches. Most sites have good views, but trees encroach beginning with front row spots above #15. There's a new owner and pets are now allowed. - Mtmoi

Ocean view was excellent. Nice, comfortable and quiet campground. Full facilities. Pool, fire pit, showers, and toilets. Very friendly owners. Some amenities nearby. We would stay there again.
Beautiful and pleasant campground. Although a little on the pricey side, still worth it. - B G

Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything was fine !!!
Very nice and comfortable Appartement. It is near the "nightlife" of lisbon, the Bairro Alto, with lots of bars and places. Very friendly and helpful owners. We (group of 6) enjoyed our trip to lisbon.
We had a great time in a very nice, clean and renovated apartment in a lively neighborhood. Everything we needed was in the apartment and we had good communication with Margarida. The only minor thing: the noise of the street at night. So if you are not used to that, make sure to have some earplugs with you.
Great, beautiful and clean apartment in perfect location, super nice and helpful host - recommended us where to go, what to do and where to eat - we took the advice and were 100% happy with that!!! We totally recomment that apartment :)
Great stay with a very accommodating host. We had a great time in the heart of Lisbon. Lots of action in the neighborhood. Loads of restaurants, cafes and interesting points of interest. Highly recommended.
Nice and very clean apartment and kitchen! Friendly welcome with information about the city from representative. Specious bathroom with a nice bath/shower. The location is wonderfull with lots of historic interesting points, places to eat and nice small shops. Also public transport is nearby. One point for improvement is the small double bed that is only 180 cm long. The beds in the other room are very good!
This apartment, full of charm, is very conveniently located close to all amenities and we received a very good reception.
The only downside: it's just a bit to the level of the dishes, it would take a few more dishes!
Cet appartement, plein de charme, est très très bien situé proche de toutes les commodités et nous avons reçu un très bon accueil.
Le seul bémol : c'est un peu juste au niveau de la vaisselle, il faudrait un peu plus de plats !
The Apartment was perfect everything you need was there ...
The only Problem was that The cooker didnt work
The Host Are also very nice and helpful
The area is next To a Bus and a train and you can even Walk everything is nearby

Several Indicted in Alleged Gambling Ring
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A state grand jury has returned indictments in connection with an alleged gambling ring in northern Rhode Island that authorities have said was controlled by a former Woonsocket municipal employee.
David Ayotte of North Smithfield, a long-time Woonsocket parks department employee, was indicted on charges of organized criminal gambling, bookmaking and conspiracy. Eight others were also indicted. The indictments were reported out Friday.
The Rhode Island State Police and attorney general's office conducted the investigation into the alleged sports-betting ring. State police conducted wiretaps and did other surveillance and arrested multiple suspects in February.
Arraignments are scheduled in Providence Superior Court for Aug. 20.
A working number for Ayotte couldn't immediately be found.
Several others arrested as part of the probe and charged with bookmaking previously pleaded no contest.

Anyway, a couple of hours later than planned I hopped on a local bus to the park taking around 1.5 hours to get there plus another 30 minutes sitting stewing on the bus before it actually moved.
With a sign indicating a possible 400 Baht entrance fee coming into effect next month I happily coughed up the current 200 Baht ticket price even if I was here only to see a waterfall.
With the sun shining on a beautiful cloudless day I started the walk alongside the 7 tiered Erawan waterfall which could have come straight out of a picture postcard scene with clear turquoise water with fish swimming around and monkeys messing about it in the trees above
Coming to the first tier of the waterfall that is almost what it evoked with it being an example of every tropical paradise setting I've seen with the large pool beneath proving to inviting to resist for a swim even if the fish had other ideas and would nibble your feet if you stayed still too long.
I continued up the waterfall on the 2km trek to the top passing the other 6 tiers with more tempting swimming opportunities carved out of the limestone rock.
Back at the bottom and after one more dip I met a group of young Thais who invited be over for a drink when I spotted a huge lizard on the other side of the river that had to have been a close relative to Godzilla as I was just glad there was an expanse of water between me and it.
Tucking into some pad thai back in Kanchanaburi I was more amused by the English subtitles on the film being shown than the film itself with the subtitles rarely matching what was happening on screen and being missing altogether whenever somebody spoke too fast for the what must have been an 8 year old doing the translating.

A stern-faced Barack Obama bluntly chastised Congress on the "unnecessary" damage done to America's prestige and to its economy by the budget and debt ceiling stand-off that was only resolved late Thursday night and lectured members on stopping their habit of treating government "as an enemy".
"Let's be clear, there are no winners here ," said Mr Obama, who just after midnight had signed the frantically negotiated stop-gap bill to re-open America's shuttered government and give the US Treasury the authority to begin borrowing again. "The American people are completely fed up with Washington."
Barely was the president's ink dry on the bill ending the October agony than the four members of a bi-partisan committee created by it to try to seek by 13 December a long-term solution to America's spending priorities had a first meeting amid public expressions of optimism but private feelings of dread that its fate will be the same of so many committees before it: deadlock, followed by more dysfunction.
Headed by two members of the Senate and two members of the House from each of the parties – Senator Patty Marray and Rep. Chris Van Hollen for the Democrats and Senator Jeff Sessions and Rep. Paul Ryan for the Republicans – the purpose of the committee is to bridge the gap between draft budgets that their respective chambers put forward earlier this year but which are separated by more than $90 billion in spending over the fiscal year.
With their breakfast gathering, the four members seemed intent on sending the message that Congress – as Mr Obama was later to demand – was putting the stand-off behind it and resuming its usual responsibilities.
"Let's understand what we're doing here, we're going back to regular order," Mr Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, told reporters. "This is the budget process… This is how the founders envisioned the budget process. We want to get back to that. We haven't had a budget conference since 2009 and we so think it's high time we start talking together trying to reconcile our differences."
But then Mr Ryan, who has a chance to rebuild a standing that has slipped since he ran as number two on the Republican ticket last year, added: "It's premature to get into exactly how we're going to do that."
No sooner will the hangover of the last weeks clear in Washington than reality will set in that the bill signed by Mr Obama is a reprieve and nothing more. If Mr Ryan and his colleagues are not seen to make some progress quickly fear will return that extremists in both parties will dig in. Thursday's truce extends the borrowing authority only until 7 February and provides money for the budget only until mid-January.
But what ails Washington is more than the just wide span of ideological differences. It is also about the sheer difficulty of finding a way to address what almost everyone – Mr Obama and the Democrats included – recognises must be addressed, getting control of spending and deficits over the long term, when one side is simply dead set against raising taxes and the other side is similarly unable to countenance any serious curtailing of government service and paring of the safety net, notably in social security and Medicare.
Making things worse, as ever, are the powerful lobby groups in town that threaten political oblivion to politicians who don't heed them. This is especially so for Republicans often less in fear of Democrat challengers in their districts – the mid-term congressional races are now less than a year away – than of more extreme members of their own party preparing to challenge them in the primaries that come first.
It was Heritage Action, a right wing action group in Washington, warning conservative Republicans not to support a version of a bill to end the stand-off tabled by speaker John Boehner – and saying it would identify them if they did so when they ran for re-election – that led to it falling apart on Tuesday night. The result: the Senate stepped in with its bill that achieved even less of what conservatives were seeking.
In these circumstances, any words, however wise, from Mr Obama on the need for more bi-partisanship is unlikely to have any real impact. But, standing in the state dining room in the White House, he delivered them anyway. "Understand that how business is done in this town has to change," he said. "Let's work together to make government work better instead of treating it as enemy or purposefully making it worse."
Ms Murray nonetheless said it would be job of the newly created committee to try. "Chairman Ryan knows I'm not going to vote for his budget, and I know he's not going to vote for mine," she said at a press conference. "We're going to find the common ground between our two budgets that we both can vote on and that's our goal."
While there was global relief that the immediate crisis was over, China's official Xihhau news agency saw only further dysfunction ahead, declaring the deal merely makes "the fuse of the US debt bomb one inch longer." In another of its increasingly scathing editorials about American political deadlock it added: "Politicians in Washington have done nothing substantial but postponing once again the final bankruptcy of global confidence in the US financial system and the intactness of dollar investment".
Federal workers return to posts
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers headed back to work in the Washington area after a 16-day government shutdown that barricaded national parks and monuments; halted programmes serving veterans and cancer patients; and cast an unnatural quiet onto America's capital city.
When the Metrorail system opened, eight-car-long trains were once again in use after two weeks of six-car trains because of a decline in federal commuters.
The World War II Memorial was quiet save for a handful of cameramen, an occasional jogger and Adam Schwartz, who waded through the pool of water at the centre, sweeping the bottom clean with a broom.
Mr Schwartz had not been authorised to clean the pool during the shutdown. He began work at 6am, scooping leaves and dirt from the water. "The key is to make it crystal clear again," Mr Schwartz said. "For the veterans."

Milford Mine designated as Historic Place
CROSBY — The National Park Service in Washington has announced that Milford Mine Historic District is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Milford Mine Historic District is the site where forty-one miners lost their lives in the worst mining disaster in Minnesota history in 1924. The site is located on the Cuyuna Iron Range, northwest of Crosby and covers approximately 180 acres of Crow Wing County managed land. It is located within the boundaries of the Milford Mine Memorial Park.
"The Milford Mine is a significant part of our culture and history in Crow Wing County," said County Commissioner Doug Houge in a news release. "The fact that it has now been placed on the national register really solidifies its place in our country's history."
Crow Wing County is currently working on a four-phase project to complete the memorial park. Phase one, which was completed last fall, included the construction of an access road, parking lot and canoe launch. Future construction phases will include walking trails, a picnic shelter and interpretive and educational signs. The County has applied for a Legacy Parks and Trails Grant to complete phases two and three of this project.
The County manages 103,000 acres of forest land for timber production and diverse recreational opportunities for multiple users.
The sale of timber at public auctions during the year funds the county's management of these lands, while providing revenues to local communities. County forest lands are managed to strict environmental standards established by both the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council certification standards.
The National Register of Historic Places is the formal record of the Nation's historic places and can include districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects. These places must meet strict criteria in order to be listed in the National Register.

Well here I am again, finally. Internet is on and off and we have had very busy and long days so it's hard to get use of a computer. Plus I caught a very bad cold which settled in my chest. I lost my voice and it's finally come back today. I sent Wed without finishing so here goes.
Tula has already memorized the pattern, Krishna has finished his feather and fan cloth and is already helping the others. I taught Mrs Saha 2 other patterns. She quickly knit up a section of the Accordion Scarf. They are enjoying learning all the different patterns. Mrs Saha has already started to teach the patterns to newcomers. My driver, Bernard, came to pick me up at 4pm. I was getting a little nervous when it was taking a bit longer and it did not appear to be the same route. I asked him where we were going and because he does not speak much English he said "to Mame" I was still not sure what he meant and when he stopped the car and nodded his head in Indian style indicating that I should get out of the car, I must have had a look of horror on my face. He pulled out his cell phone and called Liz and handed the phone to me. Well, it turned out that he had brought me to the Vocational School, Deepika, where the others were. Liz came down to get me and said she had instructed him to bring me there because they were doing a special devotional with the ladies. They prayed with the girls and told them that no matter how bad things had been for them, whatever their worries are and how frightened they may be, that God was always there to cloak them with his protection and love. They presented each of the girls with either a Sari or Salwaar set (pants, tunic,scarf) symbolic of His cloak of protection. It was very special and I am glad that they included me. It was nice to meet the girls whose names appear on our products. Blessings, Lucille

Adam Lambert Dumped Again By ABC
Adam doesn't have beef with ABC, says FCC is pulling the strings.
-Carolyn French
This week Adam Lambert announced that he would be "going in a new direction", meaning toning it the heck down. Unfortunately his plan came a little too late as ABC has dropped Adam once again due to his homoerotic performance on the American Music Awards.
Read Adam Lambert Won't Apologize for His Startling Performance
The network had received thousands of complaints from disgruntled viewers and therefore decided to cancel an appearance on Good Morning America that would have taken place last week.
Despite the cancellation – and the current one – Adam remains optimistic, and doesn't wants fans to blame ABC.
"I AM doing Leno though," the 27-year-old tweeted. "And lookin into something for NYE. It'll all blow over. Let's focus on being positive! :)"
Does it anger you that ABC allowed Chris Brown to promote his new album via a taped interview, but they dumped Adam? (People)

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Hi, I spoke with a current employee friend. He confirmed that we both signed a contract with the temp company. We also have a 6 month no compete clause if I am not mistaken. Also, the job is in Ca, where I reside, but the temp company is out of state. I believe the main branch is in Texas. Which state laws apply in a case like this?
I am still looking for the contract. I realize this is more than the standard $21 answer, and my tip will reflect that. I will keep this open and contact you when I find and have re-read my contract.
Hi Joseph,
thanks for your patience. I have found the offer letter. It was with all of my other paperwork and is the only papers which are actually from the temp company to me. The rest are release forms for background checks. There are only 2 pages which read:
"Based upon our review of your qualifications and the personal intervies by "Temp Company Name" and our teaming partner, HP, we are pleased to present this offer of employment as a Customer Service Representative, working on our project at the...... center.
It gives my rate of pay, paid time of info (none), major med (none), 401 k information (after 1 year). I was there 1.5 years. Time off clause and a Non-compete clause with the temp company. Final pay info.
I signed and dated it, it had the signature (was faxed to me) of the Director of Operations. Who I believe is also the head of HR dept.
I realize the above information is not what you wanted to hear and I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX had better news to give you, but I hope you appreciate an honest and direct answer to your question. It would be unprofessional of me and unfair to you to provide you with anything less.
Please let me know if you have any follow up or clarifying questions as I want to ensure that you are completely satisfied with my service. Definitely contact me if you are contemplating leaving me a negative rating, as I'll be happy to continue to address your concerns until you are satisfied with my service.
If not, please remember to rate my answer positively so I get paid for my work. It is necessary for you to rate my answer even though you've made a deposit or are a subscriber. I only receive compensation for my work if you rate me positively. Otherwise, I receive nothing for assisting you and the website retains your entire deposit.
Thanks and best of luck!

- Thread: selling cookbook on eBay Store
I just sold a copy of Fernand Point's book on Amazon in 6 hours for 100 bucks. Also sold Alice Medrich's brownie book fairly quickly. Then I start searching for some of the other 70's French cookbooks I have, Verge, Guerard, Troisgros, Bocuse, and they are dirt cheap. So I figure why bother? You can also sell books at abebooks.com.

Darren Sexton – Principal Engineer & Team Leader"I chose to return to Ricardo for the variety of experience available. In recent years I have worked on projects from a hybrid controller, automatic transmissions, power-generation through to a novel tug to tow aircraft resulting in significant fuel savings. These projects have spanned industries as diverse as automotive, specialist vehicles and aerospace.
Although based in the attractive town of Cambridge the variety extends to travel – from working with colleagues in Shoreham or Leamington Spa through to travel in Europe, Israel & China. Often projects provide an opportunity to engage with engineers from very different cultures.So for me the key attraction is variety – of projects, industries & partners."
John Bailey – Principal Engineer"This year will be my 11th year working for Ricardo in Cambridge. Since joining the company as a junior engineer I've undertaken two assignments at overseas Ricardo offices totalling over four years which has allowed me to work with a wide variety of other engineers and clients on a diverse array of projects, ranging from research into next generation engine control technology through to the design and construction, from a clean sheet, of a fully-functional demonstration hybrid military vehicle. Having progressed to the post of Principal Engineer, I'm currently responsible for a team working on exploiting Ricardo's R&D to provide a key system for a niche hybrid vehicle."
Geoff Frost – Principal Engineer"Ricardo has enabled me to focus on gaining expertise in techniques of model-based design and auto-generation of embedded control software. With that grounding I've gone on to mentor and lead teams of control engineers in taking their control theories from paper through to in-vehicle production software for a wide range of applications including IC engine management, transmission control (traditional automatics, DCTs and hybrid drivetrains), battery management systems and intelligent transport systems. Flexible work arrangements have given me the opportunity to achieve that whilst also raising a young family. "
Raphal Djondo - Software Systems Engineer
"After an experience as a Software Engineer in the Aeronautic sector in Canada, I began working for Ricardo last year as a Software Systems Engineer in Cambridge, UK. Since I joined Ricardo, I have been working for the Taxibot project which, on the Cambridge site, involves Safety Engineering, Software Engineering and Systems Control. Working on such innovative product is a challenge and I can say that this is one of the best projects I have worked on. It is very rewarding to implement steering software modules and prevent hazards for this massive automated vehicle pulling aircrafts heavier than 70 tonnes. What struck me when I arrived at Ricardo, apart from the high quality of the engineers, is that everyone really has the opportunity to propose improvements to processes and tools and make other teams benefit from good ideas by spreading them."
Jo Elgood - Vehicle Analysis & Simulation Team Leader"I started Ricardo as a CAE engineer in 2002 at MTC. I quickly broadened my CAE experience and while I primarily work within vehicle engineering, I have also supported a number of diverse projects in clean energy, engine and transmissions, light and heavy duty trucks, and military vehicles. In addition to diverse engineering projects, I also became increasingly involved with customer visits, generating new proposals and project planning. I was keen to travel and completed a number of trips within Europe, China, and India, including a 6 month secondment in Germany. I progressed to senior engineer and then principal engineer where I provided the CAE technical lead within large vehicle programmes. My current role is Vehicle CAE Team Leader where I manage a team of 8 analysts. I am always looking to apply new and existing tools in novel ways in order to advance team capabilities and deliver high value added results, and an environment exists here for me to do so. Ricardo provides me with interesting and diverse technical challenges, as well as the career path I am looking for. "
Ed Simpson - Senior Vehicle Engineer"After leaving University I joined Ricardo within the Vehicle Engineering Department. I spent my first two years working through the Ricardo Graduate Scheme before ultimately progressing to my current position as Senior Vehicle Engineer, specialising in Powertrain systems. Throughout the past 4 years I have been involved in a variety of projects including military, commercial vehicles and luxury passenger cars. I have been involved in vehicle system design from the concept stages, and followed the designs through to volume production readiness, incorporating vehicle reliability, durability and development testing along the way. I have travelled and worked in a number of different locations, both at Ricardo and on customers sites, and have had the opportunity to participate in a number of training courses ranging from Management to Life Cycle Assessment and to Influencing Skills. Ricardo has also given me the opportunity to fulfil all of the requirements to become a Chartered Engineer and within the next few weeks I will be in a position to apply for this through the IMechE."
Candida Gerrard - Receptionist"I have worked for Ricardo for 10 years. As the Receptionist for MTC, I meet a vast amount of people from all kinds of Companies.I strive to make all visitors feel important and to offer a polished Corporate image for Ricardo. MTC is a highly maintained and smart working environment with great facilities. Ricardo employ's outstanding people, and that's what makes it a sterling Company to work for."
Steve Wellstead – Project Director – Vehicle Engineering Programmes"Since joining Ricardo in 1996 my career has taken me around the world testing in the Arctic Circle, the deserts of Arizona and at altitude in the Alps. With many sides to our business, I have worked on projects designing control software and developing engine performance on a diverse range of products from snowmobiles to supercars. The breadth and depth of talent in the Ricardo team make for an extremely rewarding working environment. Now as Project Director for a portfolio of Vehicle Engineering programmes Ricardo continues to provide me with new challenges and opportunities."
Ian Clarke – UK IT Manager"I started at Ricardo in 1999, fresh out of university, working as a web developer (the first in Ricardo) on the corporate Intranet. As a small team built up around me I was offered the role of team leader which gave me opportunity to travel to the other divisions in the UK, US and Prague. After a couple of years in the role the post of IT Infrastructure Manager became available which I applied for and obtained. This involved a change in skill set managing the server & network teams which was a steep learning curve but ultimately more rewarding and Ricardo supported me with relevant external training. After being in this role for a year I was given the opportunity to take on management of the IT department as a whole, then 2 years after that the three IT departments across the UK which is where I am today. Working at Ricardo has given me excellent opportunities to further my career not just with respect to developing my skills but also in giving me international experience and exposure."
Richard Murphy – Manager – Test Operations"I joined Ricardo in 2000 having studied Mechanical Engineering and Maths at Trinity College Dublin. I was drawn to Ricardo because they promised to challenge me both personally and professionally and in that regard it's been everything I could have hoped for. I started work in gasoline engine development and was lucky enough to be involved in a huge range of projects from buses to superbikes during my time there. Personal highlights included spending three months in Korea working onsite at a major OEM which was a tremendous experience, two years in world superbikes and more recently leading the test and development team on the McLaren super car engine program. Development from within is core to Ricardo and in 2007 I successfully applied to replace the outgoing Test Operations manager who was himself off for a three year secondment to Ricardo India. As testing manager I am responsible for the delivery of testing on all our component rigs, engine test beds and vehicle test facilities which is a role that continues to challenge and motivate me every day. Come and join Ricardo, you won't regret it!!!"
Ed Bower – Senior Project Engineer – Technology, Innovation and Strategy"Between 1999 & 2004 I worked a placement and summer vacations at Ricardo – this was my first introduction to the world of Ricardo. In 2004 I joined as a Development engineer in Fluid Dynamics and Simulation and since then I have worked on a wide variety of different projects. I have become an expert in performance simulation and the use of Ricardo WAVE software. Working for Ricardo has taken me across the world with Japan, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Portugal being some of the countries I have visited. My development has been significant and Ricardo sponsored me through an MSC in Automotive Technology Management at Cranfield University. I have found Ricardo to be an excellent place to develop a broad base of skills and experience in a variety of engineering applications."
