Income-Producing ETFs Dominate 'New Highs' List
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( ETF Expert ) -- Window-dressing money managers need to show that they are "long" the energy sector in their quarterly reports. Not surprisingly, there are scores of energy services ETFs and energy exploration ETFs on the "new highs" list. You'll find:
Oil Services HOLDRs
iShares DJ Oil Equipment & Services
PowerShares Dynamic Oil Services
SPDR S&P Oil &Gas Equip/Services
iShares DJ Energy
SPDR S&P Select Energy
Vanguard Energy
8. Global X China Energy (CHIE) and... 9. PowerShares S&P Small Cap Energy (PSCE) In contrast, there are asset managers who have been overweight non-OPEC nations and oil services since Q4, 2010. (See "The Economics of Oil Favor Canada ETFs and Oil Services ETFs.") Of course, the "energy trade" may become overcrowded at some point. Investors need to think about alternative means for generating a combination of capital appreciation and income for their portfolios. Indeed, they should consider using pullbacks to do what money managers have been doing... snapping up shares of equity income ETFs, preferred ETFs and dividend ETFs. Data show that many of these exchange-traded investment types have experienced increased inflow in recent weeks. What's more, outside of the energy world, income-producing ETFs dominate the "new highs" list. In the dividend arena, you'll find: 1. Claymore Guggenheim S&P Global Dividend (LVL)2. S&P International Dividend (DWX)
3. WisdomTree Global Equity Income (DEW)
4. First Trust Morningstar Dividend (FDL)
5. iShares DJ Dividend (DVY) Last week, I expressed a bit of wonder with respect to interest in S&P International Dividend (DWX) . The fund has significant exposure to developed world financial services companies at a time when Spanish banks are receiving downgrades and default woes are plaguing Portugal sovereign debt. By the same token, investors may be looking to dividend ETFs to lessen portfolio volatility, increase quarterly cash flow and minimize stock uncertainty. Considering the number of these ETFs appearing on the "new highs" list -- FDL, DVY, DEW -- the trend toward modest risk seems clear. After all, most of the broader benchmarks are still 2%-3% away from new highs. And there are those who are willing to journey part of the way up the risk ladder. They'll take on more risk than bonds for a higher income stream, but they'll avoid too much exposure to uncertainty in common stock. Enter preferred ETFs. PowerShares Financials Preferred (PGX), Powershares Preferred (PGF) and iShares S&P Preferred (PFF) all made an appearance on the "new highs" list. Each delivers monthly income at approximately 7% annualized; each has a modicum of potential for incremental capital appreciation.

:arc rehab home - For the Life You Want | |||||
For the Life You Want! Maybe you want a whole new life - your old life back - both! The life you want is the number one aim of ARC rehab treatment. The life you want CAN be done! We can show you how to live your present and the future in the directions you want � despite all your past. Many ARC graduates are living in recovery, with lives full of meaning and purpose. Addiction Recovery Centre is a drug rehab & alcohol rehab residential treatment centre. Detox - we also provide drug detox and alcohol detox. Personal Development Learn activities and habits that will secure your long-term personal development. In the Directions YOU want. Based on a foundation of proven scientific and evidence based methods. A refreshing, new rehab approach! The arc ethos is centred around; positive regard, encouragement, respect, understanding and tolerance. Everything we do is based on this ethos and NOT criticism, blame and shame. All our clients are treated with courtesy, empathy and honesty. arc rehab presents a range of recovery techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), 12-step, and Transactional Analysis, rather than sticking religiously to one model, so that your own individual needs can be met. Expertise A number of our key-workers are recovered addicts and alcoholics who have first-hand understanding of addiction and alcoholism. The treatment is underpinned with a psychologically informed architecture. Developed and clinically supervised by Mark Webster, a leading UK psychotherapist and developer of the ACT Model. For immediate help, or to ask any question, call Kate or Graham on 023 92 378 726 From Dependence to Independence Your own room, phone, laptop in a real world house � not a �care home� type rehab. So that you can build the life you want from the start and all through treatment. So that you can face the challenges of freedom in the real world while still in a treatment setting � rather than having to face these daunting problems after treatment has ended when you're on your own with no support. Independent living while in treatment is important because it is so easy to become institutionalised and dependent on the treatment centre structure. Affordable We have sensible pricing making high quality treatment affordable for more people. We are passionate about enabling people to rise out of 'stuck-ness' and towards freedom. The treatment is abstinence based. We offer detox for alcohol heroin crack cocaine speed cannabis and all other drugs. For immediate help, or to ask any question, call Kate or Graham on 023 92 378 726 ARC Development From it's inspired inception, the ARC was to be an innovative treatment centre. We set out to include an eclectic range of therapies that have seemed to be helpful to people and that have been used by professionals. Mostly therapies with which we have personal experience such as CBT, 12-step and Transactional Analysis. We included other therapies of an alternative nature such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture etc. but only lightly as these have no genuine scientific/evidence base other than an established placebo effect. Being innovative means not only devising and trialing new ideas, but also keeping abreast of new developments, particularly of a scientific/evidence-based nature. Great journeys of exploration and discovery rarely begin with an already existing map. Sometimes you just have to set off not knowing where the journey will take you. Along our journey we have more recently come across Behavioural Therapy techniques, particularly Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). Behavioural principles have been thoroughly researched and evidenced but putting those theories in practical therapeutic practices have proved rather difficult as language and cognition themselves are behaviours not easy to define. However in the last few decades great advances have been achieved in developing theories (Relational Framework Theory) and therapies such as DBT and ACT, which combine cognitive with behavioural, and "which promise the most promising psychological model available" (Torneke, 2010). We have therefore now chosen to focus on creating a psychologically informed environment underpinned by a foundation of behavioural principles. A leading psychotherapist in the behavioural and ACT field, Mark Webster, has been working with ARC to develop ACT using a practical matrix of his own design to engage people in challenging their automatic responses (such as substance misuse, self harm, etc) through the development of clear directions under the control of appetetic reinforcement and, mindfulness to committed action. The practical upshot of all this is that clients develop a habitually practiced method of identifying individual directions that will provide for them a life worth living, and then learning how to take committed actions and significant behavioural changes in the service of those directions. I.e. creating the dream and learning how to live it! This is very exciting! 'Behaviour only exists if it is observed'. This means that what we do and the results for clients can be directly observed and therefore measured in a truly scientific and meaningful way. So as an additional benefit we can now accurately report behavioural change in terms of frequency, level and motivation through the development of a sophisticated and inclusive scoring system. This makes our reporting literally scientifically accurate in addition to just opinion based on experience. Care Quality Commission (CQC) Registered |

The Friendship Corner was started by two strangers in a Coffee shop, spending time together they got to know each other. They became good friends that share there lives joy, happiest and sorrow. To talk about it and encouraged each over to change for the better. They want to share there lifetime experiences with you..
There friendship is build upon trusting each other, sharing there inner secrets and dealing with things that matter to them. To say what is on there heart and not to be judged for it. To spend time listening and not always have the right words to say, but the fact that the person was listening means allot.
There friendship is about caring,
always concern if the other person
doing ok. It puts a smile on your face when things goes good and you feel happy for the other one.
But when things do go bad, they take it to there heavenly Father to take care of the matter according to His will.
Yes, we are woman and have a lot of emotions. We feel and see things differently. We sometimes cry. It's not a form of weakness, is just because we care so much for the matter that is so deeply on our hearts. Men don't always understand how we feel, but we try our best to bring a situation across in a way they can understand. It about communicating, share what's on your heart and for us woman not to jump on our horses and to misjudge them. (more…)

My daughter just weaned, so up until now if she woke in the middle of the night, I just breastfed her and she instantly went to sleep. My daughter will now wake once or twice a night, but she is hysterical. We try to hold her, rock her, sing to her, and nothing helps. After several minutes we can rock her back to sleep. Is this normal? Could it be teething or night terrors?
Hysterical Night Waking
i just read some stuff about a 24 month sleep regression and it seems like what our little ones might be going through, kinda early. it's caused by a huge language leap so they may start speaking in more complex sentences soon. the baby sleep site said to ride it out the best you can but try to not make any new sleep associations if you can help it.
i think i am creating a sleep association by holding her hand to go to sleep but any other way and she is hysterical and can't calm down. hopefully once this passes she won't need that or i'll have to have a whole other problem to break.
Cow milk is for baby cows, let the baby cows drink it.

Earlier this month, upon realizing that I had officially become my mother, not only in my preferences, but also in how I impose my preferences on others — dark meat chicken, cakes without frosting — I decided it might be wise to branch out a bit, to bake a cake with not one but two layers and to guild it not with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar but with a slathering of silky frosting.
It was a healthy exercise. You see, I didn't know that frosting — chocolate buttercream in this case — has the ability to silence a table surrounded by both toddlers and adults and afterwards to elicit unprompted comments such as: "You are such a good cooker." This cake, made with buttermilk and oil — no butter — and exclusively cocoa — no melted chocolate — is incredibly light and moist and stays this way — tasting freshly baked — for days. It's another Ina Garten recipe, one she begged for from a friend, the grandson of Beatty, after taking one bite.

Lace-Patterned Pumpkins
Not all pumpkins are orange, nor are they necessarily destined to become leering jack-o'-lanterns. The designs used on these pumpkins, carved freehand, mimic the lacelike openwork of 18th-century pierced creamware dishes, and turn any pumpkin (especially a pale Lumina) into an intricately patterned lamp.

Subscribe to Martha Stewart Livingadvertisement
Tip: When choosing carving tools, bear in mind the shape of the perforation your tool will make, and choose those that produce unusual punctures. For example, top and bottom cuts with a V-shaped gouge leave a diamond form.
- Pumpkin or squash
- Wood-carving tools
Step 1
Select a pumpkin or squash such as Lumina, spaghetti squash, or Blue Hubbard. For this project, small pieces of pipe can also be used to make cuts and punch out circles from the gourd.
Step 2
Cut an opening in the bottom of your pumpkin. Scrape out the seeds and most of the flesh. Place a length of masking tape around the circumference of the gourd as a carving guideline. Start cutting.
Step 3
The going gets easier once you've circled the pumpkin with a pattern -- just keep following it, adding more bands of cuts. If you carve a small, simple design that doesn't feed the candle much air, make an air hole on one side to help it burn.

Roxanne1000 5 Oct, 2010
Awesome Idea !
I had some doilies left over from Christmas that made a really cool design.
With the right tools this project is easy to do. -
Kathryn85 24 Sep, 2010
Who has time for this?! Lol Bridget, you should buy or make your own stencil and use white washable paint. You can stencil your pattern which will make it a whole heck of a lot easier than guessing. Once you stencil it, use it as your guide to carve. Then just wash the excess paint off.
ota1 18 Sep, 2010
Where can you get these lace patterns? Can you buy them some where?
usatoparis 4 Nov, 2008
unbelievable martha,unbelievable (
naoko53 25 Oct, 2008
SO beautiful and cosy. It's so sad this pumpkin will eventually die!!
fflamewalker 23 Oct, 2008
I love these ideas! I don't use them for pumpkins though, I use them for my gourd crafts instead!
saranghae 23 Oct, 2008
daaang, this is cute !
Freckld_Face 23 Oct, 2008
I love repeated patterns! Very pretty
NorbieK 22 Oct, 2008
Gorgeous!!!!!!!! Simply gorgeous.
Gamie 21 Oct, 2008
You could most likely use a dremel to make the basic pattern and then refine it with a carving tool.
mundillo 21 Oct, 2008
We coould use the hard foam pumpkins avaliable in craft stores. This way our hard work making these beauties can be enjoyed year after year.
surely-m 21 Oct, 2008
I don't know about that. It is an awful lot of work, but if you take a million pictures, or three, you can enjoy what you did for years to come. And you say to everyone, look, I did that! Minute, precise, and even somewhat tedious work, can have its rewards. The repetitive tasks can be therapeutic. And pictures can last a lifetime! Sounds worth a try to me. At least once.
sukipoo 21 Oct, 2008
I am afraid I will have to agree with you, words and music, I just don't think I want to put that much work into something for such a short period of time. I have to admit they are gorgeous, and the staff did a wonderful, awesome job!! Just more patience than I have.
wordsandmusic 21 Oct, 2008
Okay, so I love these but please, Martha Stewart people, 'fess up: exactly how many hours did it take a staff person to create the pumpkin that is entirely covered with the lace pattern? I'm guessing at least 40 hours... I'm not complaining. I love your crafts.
CaKatt 21 Oct, 2008
This would look awesome on a gourd and last a lot longer
amybug 21 Oct, 2008
a tip for if they start to wilt: put them in the tub and cover with cold water. the water will hydrate them and bring them back to life.
sandrahenson 21 Oct, 2008
There just isn't enough time in the world to spend it cutting little holes in a soon-to-be-rotten pumkpkin.
fabulousideas 21 Oct, 2008
you can perserve them by not carving the pumpkins till the week of thanksgiving
quackmehard 21 Oct, 2008
you can make pumpkins last a TAD longer by using petroleum jelly on them, but that wouldn't take them from Halloween to Thanksgiving, I don't think.
tknb 21 Oct, 2008
oh, my!
alexpc 21 Oct, 2008
These pumpkins would be especially nice at Thanksgiving. How could you preserve them?
Susan1255 21 Oct, 2008
I wonder if this would work with the fake carvable pumpkins sold at the craft stores. If so, putting a lot of time into making these would seem more worth it, since you could reuse them year after year.
princessmabel 21 Oct, 2008
Simply go to your file and upload the picture. It's easy as pie!
nemommy 21 Oct, 2008
These are beautiful but I don't think I could do it. But they are beautiful!
henriettam 21 Oct, 2008
I loves these!! But I agree with the ladies...this is going to take some time and boy alot of concerntration. Might have a go though
suziewho 21 Oct, 2008
These are absolutely gorgeous but I know for a fact that those tiny little perforations are very difficult to manage so close together. I would also love to see Martha Stewart provide patterns to print off for cutting pumpkins. I had a beautiful one last year that I have lost. I got so many compliments and I'm sure these would arise the same. They are too attractive to leave outside...... Happy Hallowe'en everyone. Sue Bramp;ton Canada
RedAngelJoy 21 Oct, 2008
I just left a comment but I was wondering, how do some of you members get such cute little icons by your names? I want one of these!!!
RedAngelJoy 21 Oct, 2008
I wouldn't be able to finish something like this before the pumkins went bad. They are beautiful though.
CertainlySusan 21 Oct, 2008
My initial response was right! my pumpkin would look just like this! I am certain that each staff member at Martha Stewart has a degree in fine arts.

ITn n n n S SO BEAUTIFUL
punkylou 13 Oct, 2008
These are so beautiful! I would want to use them every year too. Looks like a visit to Micheals is coming. These can be usedfor fall decoration, (not just Halloween) and they would be so pretty at a evening dinner. Don't ya think?
Herselff 12 Oct, 2008
Maybe you could make on out of paper mache? That shouldn't be too hard to carve or cut out and it would last for years.
finlander 12 Oct, 2008
At Michaels craft store (or other similar craft stores) they have the resin pumpkins. I wonder how this kind of intricate designs could be done using the resin pumpkins?? I have seen them carved but I'm not sure how easy they are to carve. I'll have to get one this week to try. (they are 50% off this week @ Michaels)
teachme 12 Oct, 2008
There are fake plastic pumpkins in the craft and hobby stores. Cut the patterns, then use a battery type lamp to light them. You do not want to use any plug in light bulbs or candles due to fire. Richard Friese, Mundelein, IL.
Joanart 12 Oct, 2008
With this much intricacy I would want to be doing something that could be used each year. What other material might we use to do this that would be more permanent?
sewswell 12 Oct, 2008
these are gorgeous. I wish i had the time it would take to do these!!!!

Club donates dictionaries to schools
The third-graders of the Burkburnett Independent School District got a leg up on their education thanks to the Burkburnett Rotary Club. Every third-grader received a free dictionary from the club.
"Rotarians feel it is important for students to read and understand how a dictionary can be used as a tool to help them in their education," said Debbie Walton, president of the Rotary Club. "It's a program that we had before because we support education."
Two years ago the club presented the gifts, but now they are going to start making it an annual donation, according to Walton.
"By us going to present the dictionaries to the kids, we let them know about the Rotary Club and the 4 Way Test. And if they learn to live by the test, it can make their whole world a better place," she said.
"Rotarians have a set of rules to follow called the 4 Way Test. This test has 4 questions that we ask whenever we are making a decision about something we think, say or do," Walton said. "First, we ask, 'Is it the truth?' Second, 'Will it be fair to all concerned?' Third, 'Will it build goodwill and better friendship?' Fourth, 'Will it be beneficial to all concerned?'"
The gift to the students cost the club more than $500, and the club gives to other local organizations, too. They just gave $1,000 to the Burkburnett Senior Citizen's Center, and they donate to Grace Ministries, which helps out Burkburnett's needy with a food bank and with help paying utilities.
The Rotary Club is an international organization which allows the local club to donate internationally. They send new clothes to Chad, Africa, and make donations to a firm called Polio Plus that helps polio patients. They also donate to provide water wells in Honduras.
The Burkburnett club raises funds by providing a flag program in Burkburnett where they display flags on holidays. They have more than 600 homes that they provide flags for, Walton said.
"We are always looking for professional and civic-minded people to become Rotarians," Walton said. For more information contact Debbie Walton at 569-2991.
Rotarians present dictionaries at Hardin Elementary in Burkburnett. They donated dictionaries to all the third grade students in the Burkburnett Independent School District. Pictured from left to right are Rotarian Don McKinnis, Rotarian Foster Secord, Rotarian Pat Norriss, 3rd grade teacher Vicki Brumley, Rotary President Debbie Walton, 3rd grade teacher Gena Waitman, 3rd grade teacher Barbara Bice, 3rd grade student teacher Katie Schroeder, Hardin Elementary School Principal Mr. Don Fritsche.

Leyton Orient V Rotherham at Wembley Stadium : Match Preview
Leyton Orient V Rotherham - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Cox fit for O's
Dean Cox is fit for Leyton Orient's League One play-off final against Rotherham at Wembley.
The winger came off with a slight groin problem during the semi-final win over Peterborough but boss Russell Slade says he is available.
But Slade does have injury concerns over a couple of players and will hand them fitness tests on Saturday, although he did not want to name names.
However, Slade is hopeful of picking his first-choice XI which has served him so well all season, and which started the second leg against Posh.
Rotherham manager Steve Evans has no new selection concerns for the clash.
The Millers had an injury crisis in the build-up to their semi-final second-leg win over Preston with doubts over Lee Frecklington (knee), Kieran Agard (hamstring). Ben Pringle (thigh) and Wes Thomas (back) but all four played and came through unscathed.
Richard Brindley (hamstring) did miss out, however, but he has since recovered and will be in contention for a starting berth at Wembley.
Mark Bradley (knee) is a long-term injury victim while Miles Addison has returned to Bournemouth for treatment on an ankle injury as the Millers aim to secure second-tier football for the first time in a decade.

Can you imagine the police pepper spraying a gun show?
Of course not...guns are legal by the 2nd amendment.
So why is it okay to pepper spray those that are exercising THEIR 1st amendment rights?

Las Vegas firefighters put out a blaze at a house on New Mexico Avenue last week.
When the firefighters arrived Saturday morning at 2214 New Mexico Ave., they evacuated two people from the house, Fire Chief Phillip Mares said. The fire started in the attic and was mostly confined to that area, he said.
"The firefighters saved most of the structure," he said.
The Vatos rugby club will play in the 40th annual High Desert Classic Rugby tournament this Saturday and Sunday in Albuquerque at Bullhead Park. The Vatos have won the tournament five times but none recently.
Notably, the Vatos will enter both a college and a men's side. The men's team will have more than 25 NMHU alumni players from across the country. They have dedicated the tournament to their late Vato teammate and friend, Mike Esquibel, who died last January in a train accident in Las Vegas.
A pair of first-place finishes was the reward for a strong Robertson High effort in the Meadow City Golf Invitational held Monday at the Gene Torres Golf Course.
Robertson's girls shot "extremely well" in the words of coach Gene Gurule. The Lady Cardinals posted a state-qualifying team score of 377, also good for first place.
This gives the Lady Cardinals their final team-qualifying leg for state competition this coming spring.
Ray Leger, a former state senator and West Las Vegas schools superintendent, died Tuesday. He was 84.
Leger, who had been ill for some months, is believed to be the superintendent with the longest reign in northern Mexico. He served in the 1960s and 1970s.
"That's a job that is hard to hold for that long," local attorney Jesus Lopez, a former West board member, said during Wednesday's County Commission meeting. "He was quite an educator. He worked hand in hand with Tiny Martinez (longtime local leader) in building West."
The city of Las Vegas hires an outside attorney to serve as the city attorney. The person hired (Carlos Quiñones) is not local. His office is in Santa Fe and from what I read and hear he is paid on a fee basis — time and expense. The Optic indicates Mr. Quiñones was paid the sum of $147,000 last year and this compares with $80,000 paid to the previous city attorney for the period of one year.
Las Vegas Mayor Tony Marquez's newest proposal may have a prayer.
For years, the City Council has called for a moment of silence near the beginning of meetings. Now, the mayor wants a prayer and invocation in addition to the moment of silence.
The council's agenda for last week's meeting included the prayer, but Marquez said he wanted the council to vote on the issue before it begins its public prayers.
City Manager Timothy Dodge said only two New Mexico cities have prayers during meetings — one of them being Clovis.
Get ready, Meadow City sports fans.
The East-West game is Thursday. Actually, make that TWO East-West games that day.
While it's true the fabled Vegas Bowl — the annual football clash between Robertson and West Las Vegas — won't take place until Saturday, Nov. 7, Thursday will provide ample opportunity to choose red or green.
First, Robertson's boys' soccer team plays host to West Las Vegas in the second of their two meetings this season. Kickoff is 4 p.m. at RHS Field.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — A teen from Las Vegas has been arrested in the death of a girl found unresponsive in a parking lot in Colorado.
Adams County sheriff's officials say 18-year-old Joseph Daniel Mascarenas is being held for investigation of second-degree murder. His bond was set at $100,000.
The city attorney is taking another swipe at whoever released e-mails to the Optic — despite the state attorney general's finding that those e-mails were public record.
City Attorney Carlos Quiñones, in a two-page Oct. 5 memo labeled confidential to the mayor, the City Council and the city manager, contended that the release of the e-mails to the Optic was a "clear breach of the confidentiality provision" of the governing body's Code of Professional Ethics.
Las Vegas attorney Dave Romero had much criticism of the proposed city charter, which would essentially be the constitution for municipal government. The city is seeking public input on the document.
The Charter Commission is proposing that the council have involvement in the hiring and firing of top officials. But Romero argues that this would be a mistake. He said the people elect mayors to get things done and that mayors need to have officials on board with their agendas. Therefore, appointment powers should rest solely with mayors, he said.

Just over 8 minutes left in the game...we just scored to bring us to 24-13. I was confident. I deeply believed we'd three and out them and score quickly again to make this game very interesting...despite all that had happened up to that point. I mean I would have bet everything on that. When Denver rolled out to pass on first down our D just totally bit on the play action. Watching Willie get humiliated is almost comical now. Mangini or BB totally screwed up on the D call....but I remember thinking what a great call by Shannahan....shear brilliance. Amazing how he and Cowher shed some of their conservatism this weekend and came out winners.
when plummer rolled out i just yelled out oh SH!T!. I saw how much we bit on it, and like you, I knew it was over.
Yup. That was the final nail in the coffin. Really really great play call. Honestly, no sour grapes here, but there were only two plays in that entire game that really impressed me from Denver: the Bailey pick and that rollout. Maybe the Sauerbreun forced fumble as well.
what part of delaware are you from? im going to middletown on friday for the weekend to visit my girlfriend.
Once we got beat by the Chargers, at home, 41-17. I began thinking threepeat again after the Tampa win, but Troy's fumble was the harsh reminder that 2005 just wasn't our year.
The moment I knew we weren't going to the Super Bowl was when the Texas Longhorns won the National Championship. After that, I said to myself..."Hell has officially froze over. No way in hell do we win a Super Bowl title this season."
You Kansas inbred SOB, do you always have to delegitimize my posts? Now f--- off and go wank over a "BEST OF THE CORNHUSKERS: The 1970's" vintage VHS tape! :beersign:
How typical. Always livin' in the past. 22 millon Texans... that's a lot of inbreeding. One things for sure, you'll find no nineties dinosaurs in this state.
You know, for some reason, I thought the same thing! I thought if USC can win 3 in a row, so can we. But when they lost and so handly lost, I just felt kinda defeated!
In our game earlier this season when (we lost 28-20), The Pats had a small sliver of daylight to come back and tie that game up. Denver was at 3rd down and looking at punting the ball back to Brady & Co. But Shanahan called for a pass when they Pats were all thinking run....The resulting 1st down was the final nail in the coffin....But it was a great effort by the Pats in that game. So when it came down to the above mentioned pass play, I was hoping that the Pats would be ready for a pass play from Shanahan. And yes we bit the entire donkees ass on that one......I think collectively, every Pats fan at that moment hung thier head.
When Denver jumped offsides on the Pats first or second punt and it moved them up 5 years but they needed 6. Still 4th down. Belichick just started going off on the ref. I said to my wife "wow. you never see Bill lose his cool like that, I think we could be in trouble here" It just got worse from there

For one of his last roles, James Gandolfini showed off his sensitive side.
In the trailer for "Enough Said" Gandolfini, who died of a heart attack on June 19, portrays a single dad who's falling in love with a masseuse, played Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Photos: Friends and Family Say Goodbye to James Gandolfini
In the film, Louis-Dreyfus is shocked to learn that Gandolfini is actually the ex-husband of a new client, played by Catherine Keener.
James Gandolfini Leaves Millions to Family, Associates
Gandolfini, who was 51 when he died, became a household name as brooding mob boss Tony Soprano — though Louis-Dreyfus has said that this role is entirely different. She called acting alongside him a "dreamy experience."
The romantic comedy will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

It doesn't matter if you haven't been in touch for over a year or if you have forgotten their birthday or even if you didn't call when you promised you would; a friend is a friend is a friend. Celebrating the bonds of friendship is Friendship Day, which falls on the first Sunday of August. MetroPlus tunes in as a few celebrities talk about their 2 a.m. friends.
Poornima Indrajith
Television show hostess
I have a large group of friends, each special in their own way. There's a group of six of which I am a member, and we are like each other's shadows. We talk to each other daily and keep ourselves updated on each other's lives. However, Revathy, my friend from pre-degree, is my really good friend. Her mom and my mom are good friends too; we discovered this during our convocation day when our parents met for the first time. Revathy and I live in two different cities now; she is in Bangalore, and I am in Kochi. Although we are not in touch as much, when we do meet or talk, our conversations pick up from where we stopped last. She is a kindred spirit. Our children are friends too.
Gauthami Nair
I can't stop with just a couple of names. There are over a dozen. We were together from kindergarten till class 12 when I was in Kuwait – Nafila, Febian, Sabrina, Sheba, Merin, Christopher, Ajith, Cyril, Suraj… We always keep in touch and are always there for each other, even if we don't meet often. I am the one who always misses out on get-togethers. But we will most probably be coming together for a friend's wedding soon. Meanwhile, I have some close buddies in the film industry as well. Srinath [Rajendran], director of my debut film, Second Show, Sunny [Wayne], Mamta chechi [Mamta Mohandas] somebody whom I turn to for advices, Dulquer [Salmaan], Vijay Yesudas and wife, Darshana, whom I treat like my brother and sister."
Playback singer
There are three friends who have always been there for me. Jithesh, who has been my friend since kindergarten, Maya, a friend from my college days and Gayathri, whom I met while doing my postgraduation. The bond we share is not because of music. There are many similarities in our character. They are three people who know me inside out and even if I don't tell them anything they would understand what I need. Interestingly, they are the ones who keep me connected with other friends.
I have many friends, many intimate ones too, but I don't know if any of them will actually pick up the phone if I call at 2 a.m.! The one person I can call at any time, morning, noon or night is my wife, Saritha. We started off as friends and after all these years we still are each other's best friends. I think that's one of the reasons why we work as a couple. I still remember, one day, during the shoot of Pulival Kalyanam (2003), I finished my shots sometime around midnight and was waiting for Kayva Madhavan, Lalu Alex and the rest of the cast to finish theirs. The next five hours I spent on the phone to Saritha. I can tell her anything – jokes, my thoughts, my doubts…
Sachin Warrier
Playback singer and techie
I'm fortunate to have made friends at all stages of my life, any of whom I can call up whenever I want, no questions asked. My best friend from school is Anand; we've known each other since we were kids, we grew up together and we've been in a lot of scrapes together! If I get nostalgic about our good old days I call him up. During my college days at FISAT, Angamaly, there were a bunch of us who were drawn together by music. Niyaz, who now lives in Dubai, is a huge A.R. Rahman fan like me. If some piece of music catches my fancy I share it with him and vice versa. He's also one of my best critics. Then there are my other college buddies Praveen, Rinaz, Manu and the like with whom I hangout regularly.
Anna Katrina
Playback singer
My really good friends would be Gloria, Rohini and my sister, Kochu Mary. I met Rohini through a common friend, while in college. We soon became fast friends and I was her bridesmaid. Although we lost touch after college, she took the trouble to track me and ask me to be her bridesmaid when she got married. Although we both live in Kochi, we don't feel the need to be in touch everyday. When we do hook up, we catch up on the latest in each other's lives. Gloria and I met when I was working at Le Meridien. She got me my first tattoo. She is like an elder sister; I can always go to her for advice. Although I am sort of the black sheep of the family, to Mary, I am always the cool sister. Our bond, is a bond for a lifetime.

Awesome especially the P51 Mustang
How long are they there for?
Excellent pics, thanks for sharing. My son and I were there today too. The P-51 Mustang is both my and my son's favorite plane, so you can imagine how excited he was when he found out that you could go for a ride in it.....that is until I asked for the price $2,250 for 1/2 hour or $3,500 for an hour. Maybe in another lifetime. Beautiful plane though!

Good job, Dad. Keep her mind interested in things. Sweet girl.
I remember taking my kids to see them many years ago. I guess it was at Allaire, if not McGuire. I was amazed at how small they were when we climbed inside. Take squadrons of bombers to try to take out one small target. How things have changed.
Great pics. One of my uncles was a navigator on a B-17 and had his own single-prop Mooney at Teteboro back when it was affordable. BTW, cute kid...I smell Air Force Academy!
Was one of those flying over Bradley Beach yesterday morning?? We saw what looked like a B24, it was an incredible sight and my kids loved it

Missing methods in LINQ: MaxWithIndex and MinWithIndex
The LINQ library has Max methods and Min methods. However, sometimes we are interested in the index location in the IEnumerable<T> rather than the actual values. Hence the MaxWithIndex and MinWithIndex methods.
These methods return a Tuple. The first item of the Tuple is the maximum or minimum value just the the Max and Min methods. The second item of the Tuple is the index location.
As usually, you might get my LINQ extension from NuGet:
PM>Install-Package SkyLinq.Linq
Usage examples in the unit test.
ASP Classic Compiler is now available in NuGet
I know this is very, very late, but I hope it is better than never. To make it easy to experiment with ASP Classic Compiler, I made the .net 4.x binaries available in NuGet. So it is now extremely easy to try it:
- From the package console of any .NET 4.x web project, run "Install-Package Dlrsoft.Asp".
- To switch from AspClassic to Asp Classic Compiler in the project, add the following section to the system.webServer handlers section:
<system.webServer> <handlers> <remove name="ASPClassic"/> <add name="ASPClassic" verb="*" path="*.asp" type="Dlrsoft.Asp.AspHandler, Dlrsoft.Asp"/> </handlers> </system.webServer>
Comment out the section to switch back. - Add a test page StringBuilder.asp:
<% imports system dim s = new system.text.stringbuilder() dim i s = s + "
" for i = 1 to 12 s = s + "
" s = s + "" + i + "	" s = s + "" + MonthName(i) + "	" s = s + "
" next s = s + "
" response.Write(s) %>
This code uses the .net extension so it will only work with Asp Classic Compiler.
Happy experimenting!
SkyLinq binaries are available on NuGet
After much hesitate, I finally published my SkyLinq binaries on NuGet. My main hesitation was that this is my playground so I am changing things at will. The main reason to publish is that I want to use these works myself so I need an easy way to get the latest binaries into my projects. NuGet is the easiest way to distribute and get updates, including my own projects. There are 3 packages:
- SkyLinq.Linq is a portal library that contains some LINQ extensions.
- SkyLinq.Composition contains my duck-typing implementation. It is similar to Impromptu-Interface but it is much simpler and it uses il.emit instead of LINQ Expressions to generate code. It also contains a LINQ query rewriting example.
- LINQPadHost is a simple hosting and executing environment for LINQPad queries. Live demo at http://skylinq.azurewebsites.net/SkyLINQPad.
Sky LINQPad, a minimum viable clone of LINQPad in the cloud
A while ago, I blogged about a simple LINQPad query host. It is fairly easy to put a web face on it. The only change that I had to make is to set the ApplicationBase for the AppDomains that I create as asp.net is quite different to an .exe app. A playground is now running at http://skylinq.azurewebsites.net/SkyLINQPad. One can upload an existing .linq files designed in LINQPad or type some queries directly into the page:
A simple LINQPad query host
I am a big fan of LINQPad. I use LINQPad routinely during my work to test small, incremental ideas. I used it so much so that I bough myself a premium license.
I always wish I can run queries designed in LINQPad in my own program. Before 4.52.1 beta, there was only a command line interface. In LINQPad v4.52.1 beta, there is finally a Util.Run method that allows me to run LINQPad queries in my own process. However, I felt that I did not have sufficient control on how I can dump the results. So I decided to write a simple host myself.
As in the example below, a .linq file starts with an xml meta data section followed by a blank line and then the query or the statements.
<Query Kind="Expression"> <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\System.Web.dll</Reference> <Reference><ProgramFilesX86>\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll</Reference> <Namespace>System.Web</Namespace> <Namespace>System.Web.Mvc</Namespace> </Query> HttpUtility.UrlEncode("\"'a,b;c.d'\"")
The article "http://www.linqpad.net/HowLINQPadWorks.aspx" on the LINQPad website gives me good information on how to compile and execute queries. LINQPad uses CSharpCodeProvider (or VBCodeProvider) to compile queries. Although I was tempted to use Roslyn like ScriptCS, I decided to use CSharpCodeProvider to ensure compatible with LINQPad.
We only need 3 lines of code to the LINQPad host:
using LINQPadHost; ... string file = @"C:\Users\lichen\Documents\LINQPad Queries\ServerUtility.linq"; Host host = new Host(); host.Run<JsonTextSerializer>
(file); As I mentioned at the beginning. I would like to control the dumping of the results. JsonTextSerializer is one of the three serializers that I supplied. The other two serializers are IndentTextSerializer and XmlTextSerializer. Personally, I found that the JsonTextSerializer and IndentTextSerializer the most useful.
The source code could be found here.

Why every .net developer should learn some PowerShell
It has been 8 years since PowerShell v.1 was shipped in 2006. I have looked into PowerShell closely except for using it in the Nuget Console. Recently, I was forced to have a much closer look at PowerShell because we use a product that exposes its only interface in PowerShell.
Then I realized that PowerShell is such a wonderful product that every .net developer should learn some. Here are some reasons:
- PowerShell is a much better language that the DOS batch language. PowerShell is real language with variable, condition, looping and function calls.
- According to Douglas Finke in Windows Powershell for Developers by O'Reilly, PowerShell is a stop ship event, meaning no Microsoft server products ship without a PowerShell interface.
- PowerShell now has a pretty good Integrated Scripting Environments (ISE). We can create, edit, run and debug PowerShell. Microsoft has release OneScript, a script browser and analyzer that could be run from PowerShell ISE.
- We can call .NET and COM objects from PowerShell. That is an advantage over VBScript.
- PowerShell has a wonderful pipeline model with which we can filter, sort and convert results. If you love LINQ, you would love PowerShell.
- It is possible to call PowerShell script from .net, even ones on a remote machine.
Recently, I have to call some PowerShell scripts on a remote server. There are many piecewise information on the internet, but no many good examples. So I put a few pointers here:
- When connecting to remote PowerShell, the uri is : http://SERVERNAME:5985/wsman.
- It is possible to run PowerShell in a different credential using the optional credential.
- Powershell remoting only runs in PowerShell 2.0 or later. So download the PowerShell 2.0 SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2560). When installed, it actually updates the 1.0 reference assemblies . On my machine, they are in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
So the complete code runs like:
using System.Management.Automation; // Windows PowerShell namespace using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces; // Windows PowerShell namespace using System.Security; // For the secure password using Microsoft.PowerShell; Runspace remoteRunspace = null; //System.Security.SecureString password = new System.Security.SecureString(); //foreach (char c in livePass.ToCharArray()) //{ // password.AppendChar(c); //} //PSCredential psc = new PSCredential(username, password); //WSManConnectionInfo rri = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri(uri), schema, psc); WSManConnectionInfo rri = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri(""http://SERVERNAME:5985/wsman")); //rri.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Kerberos; //rri.ProxyAuthentication = AuthenticationMechanism.Negotiate; remoteRunspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rri); remoteRunspace.Open(); using (PowerShell powershell = PowerShell.Create()) { powershell.Runspace = remoteRunspace; powershell.AddCommand(scriptText); Collection
results = powershell.Invoke(); remoteRunspace.Close(); foreach (PSObject obj in results) { foreach (PSPropertyInfo psPropertyInfo in obj.Properties) { Console.Write("name: " + psPropertyInfo.Name); Console.Write("\tvalue: " + psPropertyInfo.Value); Console.WriteLine("\tmemberType: " + psPropertyInfo.MemberType); } } } -
Implement a simple priority queue
.NET framework does not have a priority queue built-in. There are several open source implementations. If you do not want to reference an entire library, it is fairly easy to implement one yourself. Many priority queue implementations use heap. However, if the number of levels of priorities is small, it is actually very easy and efficient to implement priority queues using an array of queues. There is a queue implementation in the .net framework.
My implementation is in the code below. The enum QueuePriorityEnum contains the number of levels of priorities. It is picked up automatically by the PriorityQueue class. The queue support 3 operations: Enqueue, Dequeue and Count. There behavior is modeled after the Queue class in the .net framework.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; namespace MyNamespace { // Modify this enum to add number of levels. It will picked up automatically enum QueuePriorityEnum { Low = 0, High =1 } class PriorityQueue<T>
{ Queue<T> [] _queues; public PriorityQueue() { int levels = Enum.GetValues(typeof(QueuePriorityEnum)).Length; _queues = new Queue<T> [levels]; for (int i = 0; i < levels; i++) { _queues[i] = new Queue<T> (); } } public void Enqueue(QueuePriorityEnum priority, T item) { _queues[(int)priority].Enqueue(item); } public int Count { get { return _queues.Sum(q => q.Count); } } public T Dequeue() { int levels = Enum.GetValues(typeof(QueuePriorityEnum)).Length; for (int i = levels - 1; i > -1; i--) { if (_queues[i].Count > 0) { return _queues[i].Dequeue(); } } throw new InvalidOperationException("The Queue is empty. "); } } } -
integrating external systems with TFS
Recently, we need to integrate external systems with TFS. TFS is a feature-rich system and has a large API. The TFS sample on MSDN only scratch the top surface. Fortunately, a couple of good blog posts get me on the write direction:
- Team Foundation Version Control client API example for TFS 2010 and newer
- Team Foundation Server API: Programmatically Downloading Files From Source Control
The key is to use the VersionControlService. We need to reference the following assemblies:
The code would be something like:
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client; using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Common; using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Client; using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client; ... TfsTeamProjectCollection pc = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(tfsUri); VersionControlServer vcs = pc.GetService
(); Then to check whether a file exists, we can use:
vcs.ServerItemExists(myPath, ItemType.File)
Or check if a directory exists:
vcs.ServerItemExists(myPath, ItemType.Folder)
To get a list of directories or files, we can use the GetItems method. TFS is far more complicated than a file system. We can get a file, get the history of a file, get a changeset, etc. Therefore, the GetItems method has many overloads. To get a list files, we can use:
var fileSet = vcs.GetItems(myPath, VersionSpec.Latest, RecursionType.OneLevel, DeletedState.NonDeleted, ItemType.File); foreach (Item f in fileSet.Items) { Console.WriteLine(f.ServerItem); }
Or get a list of directories:
var dirSet = vcs.GetItems(myPath, VersionSpec.Latest, RecursionType.OneLevel, DeletedState.NonDeleted, ItemType.Folder); foreach (Item d in dirSet.Items) { Console.WriteLine(d.ServerItem); }
Converted ASP Classic Compiler project from Mercurial to Git
Like some other open source project developers, I picked the Mercurial as my version control system. Unfortunately, Git is winning in the Visual Studio echo systems. Fortunately, it is possible to contact Codeplex admin for manual conversion from Mercurial to Git. I have done exactly that for my open source ASP Classic Compiler project. Now I can add new examples in response to forum questions and check them in using my Visual Studio 2013. Now I am all happy.
Video review: RESTful Services with ASP.NET Web API from PACKT Publishing
Disclaimer: I was provided this video for free by PACKT Publishing. However, that does not affect my opinion about this video.
Upon request by PACKT Publishing, I agreed to watch and review the video "RESTful Service with ASP.NET Web API" by Fanie Reynders. Prior to the review, I have a EBook called "Designing Evolvable Web APIs with ASP.NET - Harnessing the power of the web" by Glenn Block, Pablo Cibraro, Pedro Felix, Howard Dierking and Darrel Miller from O'Reilly. I also have access to several videos on the Pluralsight.com on the same subject. So I would put my review in perspective with those other materials.
The video from Packt has the length of 2 hours 4 minutes. It gave a nice overview over the ASP.NET Web API. The video is available for watch online or for downloading to watch offline. The video has 8 chapters. It covers the ASP.NET Web API in a clear and accurate way and is surprisingly complete for this short length.
In comparison with other resources, I would recommend you get this video if you have never worked with ASP.NET Web API before and want to get a complete overview in a short time possible.
If you love video, Pluralsight is offering the equally good and slightly longer (3h 15m) "Introduction to the ASP.NET Web API" by Jon Flanders. You would need subscription to access the exercise materials thought. If you do subscribe, Pluralsight also has a couple of intermediate level videos by Shawn Wildermuth.
Lastly, if you want an in depth book that you can use for a extended period of time, it is hard to beat Glenn Block, etc.'s book from O'Reilly.

The wise Christine O'Donnell, the tea bagger Senate candidate from Delaware raises the provocative question: 'Why Aren't Monkeys Still Evolving Into Humans?' Think Progress Bill Maher's New Clip Of O'Donnell: 'Why Aren't Monkeys Still Evolving Into Humans?'
It's like she's there to make Sharron Angle look less crazy. What's great though is that we can witness Christine devolve into a monkey before our very eyes!
The playbook of the right, it is not important what she said or what she says, it is not important in her belief that what she desires is sometype of "chaste" theocracy.. what is important is that by electing her that congress will be more fiscally responsible... Anyone who believes that is incredibly stupid and or incredibly naive. O'Donnell is about 4.5 cans short of a six pack.. on a good day.
Interesting choice of words, and I defer to your expertise on that subject. It's poorly worded and I doubt she understands what she is talking about, but the problem is her question raises a good point. First of all, I should point out the modern evolutionary theory does not hold that man evolved from apes (or monkeys). Rather, it claims that men and apes share a common ape-like ancestor. Nevertheless, there are some legitimate "missing link" questions in evolutionary theory, which even proponents of evolution agree are not fully explained. Not to mention that evolution does absolutely nothing to address the biggest question of them all: How did life get started in the first place? Nobody has any clue how that very first life form appeared out of nothingness. I mean there are all sort of theories involving amino acids to electricity to panspermia but there really is still no consensus whatsoever. A lot of the liberals in this group have made repeated bigoted and ignorant assumptions about me and my beliefs. Apparently their mothers never told them what happens when you assume. I'm sure the above post will only produce more of the same.
As much as I believe there is evolution, there is no proof of real evolution yet. So that clip is just Bill Maher ( I like Bill ALOT ) just taking someone opinions, and blowing them out as a looney.
A better question would've been: "Why haven't giraffes evolved into a human like creature, and why did some monkey's choose NOT to evolve?" Didn't this lady believe in witchcraft not too long ago? Reminds me of a teenager and their many phases.... Just when you thought someone from Deleware couldnt put their foot in their mouth more than Biden.....the Tea Party gpoes to the polls! The funny thing is that somehow they tea-baggers are proud of this lady-clown? should be an interesting election.
What do you want as proof? Are there specific reasons you may be skeptical about the evidence supporting evolutionary theory?
There is no evidence of one species turning into another one. You can cite dogs, and other animals as changing and micro evolution, but there is no proof or missing link to show that one species as defined by DNA, turned into another one. I probably believe it has happened, but there is no proof, it's only a theory, and she's entitled to her opinion on it.
There is plenty of evidence supporting evolutionary theory. That is why it is a theory. In science, something being a theory isn't "only a theory" -- it means there is a good amount of evidence supporting it and that it hasn't been disproven. Given the timespan of evolution, I don't know if there could be "proof" (I'm not a biologist or geologist, etc) But saying that she's entitled to her opinion doesn't make her opinion reasonable. If you disagree with that, just ask her to support that opinion -- if she offers any response (yes, I realize this is hypothetical), I'm confident it, unlike evolutionary theory, would be riddled with mistakes.
All im saying is there is no proof her view is incorrect as well... and via that clip she was attacked and not given a chance to explain. There are tons of examples in science where theories are held as truths only to be proven wrong hundreds of years later. Watch any show on discovery about the cosmos, and it's funny listening to them talk in facts as if they are there on those other planets and know as a fact how things billions of miles away work and act... So overall, my point is, people are entitled to their equally unproven opinion.
Did I say she isn't entitled to her opinion? She's entitled to her opinion, but she's not entitled to avoid questioning or criticism of her opinion. Has she explained her view at all? Because if she does try to support an anti-evolution view, there will be plenty of evidence that she is wrong, and I'll guarantee that pretty much anything she claims will be demonstrably incorrect. I haven't followed this O'Donnell / Maher thing, but my understanding is that she has in fact been given a chance of explain -- I think she has an open invite to come on the show again. Understandable that she may not want to, but the claim that she doesn't have the opportunity to explain herself is false. (especially given that she could addres it any time via the prss, now that she's a candidate) I don't think you'll find many scientists speaking in terms of "truths" and "facts" regarding theory -- maybe I'm wrong overall, but the scientists I've known have been much more aware of what is proven, or provable, than laymen.
I remember in a Biology class many years ago we went over the strength of the different terms such as hypothosis, theory, and law. If something is termed a law it is 100% correct and provea ble, such as Boyles law concerning gas and absolute pressure and volume. A theory is around 98% of certitude that the idea is correct. So there is enough evidence to say your 98 % certain that evolution is correct and explains how we got to were we are. I know its confusing but at the moment i have writers block and can't explain it any more clearly.
Again, THROUGH OUT all of history, more theories have been proven incorrect, rather than correct. So that 2% sure does come up quite a bit then eh?
How many of those were actual scientific theories, subjected to any kind of systematic testing and scrutiny? But, yes, theories can be incorrect. Nobody disputes that. Your repetition of this is a strawman that in no way validates O'Donnell's opinion.
Sigh. I have gotten into many arguments with people from church about this. Unfortunately, I think there is fear that being open to the accepted science will undermine faith. I think it is hard to argue with the idea that evolution happened and is happening. The question is: is the mechanism of evolution sufficient to explain the diversity of all life? I think the jury is still out on that. I think that one example of theories that were later invalidated is Newton. To be fair, his theories were really refined by Einstein, who showed that Newtonian mechanics were incomplete. Science is never really "settled", as new knowledge or better means of measuring and observing natural phenomena lead to further refinements. I think that there is a vast amount of stuff that we still do not know.
Good post, Brandon. I'm not religious, but I don't see any inherent conflict between science and faith.

Gers clinch Broadfoot deal
06 Mar 2007 - 14:14:13
Rangers have finalised a pre-contract agreement with St Mirren for highly-rated defender Kirk Broadfoot.
The 22-year-old will move to Ibrox in the summer and becomes manager Walter Smith's second pre-contract signing following a similar agreement with Falkirk's Alan Gow.
Smith told the club's official website: "He's played very well for St Mirren in the SPL this season.
"He's gained vital experience and will be a welcome addition to our squad next season."
The Buddies are expected to receive a fee of around £80,000 for the former Hibs player.
Broadfoot made almost 150 League games for St Mirren since breaking into the first team at the start of the 2002-03 campaign.

Tonight at the Oscars, the stars shone bright but brighter still were great films with great meaning that stole the show. Well-acted films with powerful messages took home Oscars, and technical achievements like that seen by Alfonso Cuaron in "Gravity," made skeptics believers in the power of film.Staten Island movie fans, tonight was a night worth staying up for. The Wrap stated (March 3) that "Gravity" rolled through technical awards, and Alfonso Cuaron took best director. But Steve McQueen's slavery epic was Best Picture," added the report.
For the first few hours it did not look like "12 Years A Slave" would win as "Gravity," a technical achievement picked up major awards, including Best Director for Alfonso Cuaron. "12 Years Slave" battled through one of the tightest races in Oscar history to win Best Picture on Sunday night at the 86th annual Academy Awards, capping an extraordinary year for black filmmakers and movies in general," added The Wrap.
Director Steve McQueen, who did not win for director, received the night's highest honors when "12 Years A Slave" won Best Picture. "McQueen graciously thanked producer/actor Brad Pitt -- without him the movie simply would not have been made," added the report. "I dedicate this award to all the people in the world who have endured slavery … and to the 21 million people around the world" still in bondage, McQueen said.
Great acting won
"The two biggest locks of the Oscars -- Matthew McConaughey and Cate Blanchett -- each sealed the deal Sunday night, grabbing top acting honors at the 86th Academy Awards," added The Wrap..
"McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club"), nearly as much of a lock, gave an impassioned speech about his family, including his late father, then left the stage with his trademark phrase: alright alright alright," added The Wrap, but failed to mention the victims of AIDS whose heroic battle against the deadly disease was indeed the biggest victor of the night. Without their story the film would not have been made and McConnaughey failed to recognize their battle.
"Lupita Nyong'o ("12 Years Slave") and Jared Leto ("Dallas Buyers Club") were also big winners both on stage and the red carpet Sunday night, as each took home supporting acting trophies after making a different kind of splash on their way into the Dolby Theater," added The Wrap.
"Leto won the first Oscar of 2014, winning for his role as pre-op transsexual Rayon in "Dallas Buyers Club" -- an expected win in a season that saw a lot of the Thirty Seconds From Mars frontman giving speeches at awards-season podiums. As he's been doing all season, Leto made sure to thank his mom, who was seated in the audience," added the report.
All in all the Academy Awards honored great acting and a terrific technical ahievement in the breakout blockbuster "Gravity" that starred Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, both actors who were shut out of the acting categories, although the film took home seven Oscars, including Best Director for Alfonso Cuaron. However in the end, the winners were stories with messages, "12 Years A Slave" and "The Dallas Buyers Club," where substance won out over style this year.

Pulis hints at new Ledley bid
16 May 2009 - 12:56:27
Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has dropped a strong hint that he will be back in for Cardiff City's Joe Ledley in the summer.
The 22-year-old Wales international was the subject of an unsuccessful bid from the Potters following their promotion to the Premier League last year.
However, Pulis remains an admirer of the talented midfielder, who might look to move on himself after Cardiff failed to win promotion from the Championship this season.
"We came in and made an offer and we thought it was a great offer for Joe," Pulis told the South Wales Echo.
"But Cardiff did not want to sell him and credit to (manager) Dave (Jones) and (chairman) Peter (Ridsdale) for that.
"They felt he was important to Cardiff and we had to live with that.
"We did feel it was a fantastic offer at the time for the kid and we were very disappointed that we were not successful.
"If I am going to do any business with Cardiff this summer I will be doing it with Dave and Peter. I won't be doing things through the newspapers.
"But we will take another look at it and if it feels right for us then I will be speaking to Dave about it before anyone else."

An Inside Look to the Series…
"The story took me beyond history": |
Click to view profile |
The story took me beyond history into a sacred place after the battlefield. Bitterness and sweetbread, brokenness and restoration, desperation and hope, hunger and relief, and hatred and powerful love triggered my senses. As a field hospital chaplain for over seven months in Iraq after the Battle for Fallujah, I also experienced the amputations of the body, spirit and soul. My return home and encounter with the families and friends of the fallen has been much more difficult, challenging and purging of my soul than I imagined. This book was extremely painful, but the healing of my soul was worth the excruciating pain. —Ron Camarda, Military Writers Society of America Read the full review here.

Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney is back and his $200 million+ fortune are back in the news today, this time amid reports that the candidate plans to add a "car elevator" to his beachfront mansion in La Jolla, Calif.
Politico's Reid Epstein reports that the elevator is included in plans for renovating the Romneys' $12 million beach house. All told, the remodel will quadruple the size of the 3,000-square-foot Spanish mansion.
According to Epstein, who obtained 2008 schematic plans filed with the city of San Diego, the massive renovation includes:
Epstein reports that the Romneys have also obtained a personal lobbyist, San Diego attorney Matthew A. Peterson, to push the renovation plans through the city's approval process. San Diego officials told Politico that it is not unusual for homeowners to hire lobbyists for big projects.
Romney has said that the family will not begin the remodel until after the 2012 election, but the permitting and approval process can take several years, particularly for homes along the Pacific Coast. In the meantime, the Romneys are making do with the smaller beach house.
