The Bush administration recently sent Congress a request for $196 billion in "emergency" funding for Iraq and Afghanistan. Last week ABC reported that it includes one line asking for $88 million to upgrade stealth bombers to carry the 30,000-pound "massive ordnance penetrator":
So where would the military use a stealth bomber armed with a 30,000-pound bomb like this? Defense analysts say the most likely target for this bomb would be Iran's flagship nuclear facility in Natanz, which is both heavily fortified and deeply buried.
"You'd use it on Natanz," said John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org. "And you'd use it on a stealth bomber because you want it to be a surprise. And you put in an emergency funding request because you want to bomb quickly."
Today David Obey (D-WI), the Democratic Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, appeared at the National Press Club. You can see the footage via C-Span.
At 42:10, Obey is asked whether he plans to fund the bunker busters. He speaks for over three minutes, beginning by saying "Our Iran policy has been spectacularly stupid for 50 years," references the 1953 CIA coup, and asks, "Wouldn't we have been better off if we left Mossadegh in place?" Yet he never answers the question.
When Obey finally winds down, at 45:30, the moderator asks again: "Will you fund the bunker busters?" Obey replies:

This Saturday General Pervez Musharraf decided it was time to just sock it to anyone who stood in his way of holding onto power. He imposed an "emergency rule"—effectively martial law—suspending the Constitution and sacking the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after the judges refused to abide by the order and declared it illegal. Over 600 lawyers, activists, and opponents were detained. As police assaulted lawyers and other protesters with tear gas and batons, thousands were arrested, including 1,200 lawyers in the second largest Pakistani city, Lahore. On Sunday, over 70 activists and 14 journalists were arrested at a meeting held by Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in order to discuss the current state. HRCP Chairwoman Asma Jehangir was placed under house arrest.
Musharraf claims that this was a move to save Pakistan from extremism, but some point out that he had been informed by an aide that the Supreme Court might declare his October 6 "re-election" illegal. Furthermore, the fact that the parliamentary elections, scheduled for January, have also been put off can be seen as a maneuver to stall elections. And the proclamation the general issued is a "charge sheet" against the judicial branch as he accuses the judiciary of "working at cross purposes with the executive and legislature" and argues that its "constant" and "increasing interference" with the executive branch is undermining the "war on terrorism." His use of "terrorism" as reason for imposing martial law is, to put it bluntly, bullshit.
Along with the judiciary, the media bears the brunt in this recent clampdown for its critical coverage. For the third day in a row, independent news channels have been blacked out in Pakistan, as well as access to several websites. Aaj TV had its offices raided, similar to how GEO TV earned a visit from the police in a previous crackdown of the Pakistani media in June. A new press ordinance has also been issued to further silence the media. The strictures prohibit any material which "ridicules" or "brings disrepute to the Head of the State" and armed forces and proves to be a threat to the "ideology of Pakistan."

Many environmentalist and NGO analysts are predicting that Mexico will suffer disproportionately from climate change, amplifying immigration problems in the United States.
It looks like they might be right. The state of Tabasco in southern Mexico is suffering from the worst floods the flood-prone region has ever seen. Water rose in Villahermosa, the state capital, fast enough to drown out one-storey buildings in an hour. More than 300,000 people had to leave their homes.
The most ominous problem is that the contaminated water may stimulate outbreaks of cholera, malaria and dengue fever.

Deep in the frigid waters of the Aleutian islands, scientists have discovered three new species—two kinds of sea anemones that drift along with ocean currents (other anemones tend to stay put in one place) and a ten-foot-long brown kelp that grows near ocean vents. Scientists believe that the new kelp might be part of a new seaweed genus or family. Check out a photo gallery of the newbies (and other Aleutian critters) here.
Stretching out about 1,200 miles between Alaska and the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Aleutian islands are among the most remote land masses in the world. Last year, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council voted to ban the destructive practice of bottom trawling in more than 300,000 square miles off Alaska's coast, which is great news for the Aleutians. But the trawling ban doesn't solve the problem of pollution—researchers have found traces of industrial chemicals in the area, as well as unexploded ordinance leftover from WWII.
For an insider's perspective on conservation in this corner of the world, check out this interview with Erin McKittrick and Bretwood "Hig" Higman, a couple in the midst of a 4,000 mile hiking/rafting/skiing journey from Seattle up into the Aleutians.

We've covered protests over hip-hop lyrics from a couple perspectives here on the Riff (now that's fair and balanced!) and the controversy continues: today the New York Times is reporting protestors are targeting media companies like Viacom (owner of MTV and BET) for "degrading" music videos. The protesters have been targeting the homes of company executives, but their goals seem a little vague:
Among other things the protesters want media companies like Viacom to develop "universal creative standards" for video and music, including prohibitions on some language and images. Video vixens and foul-mouthed pimps and thugs are now so widespread, the protesters maintain, that they infect perceptions of ordinary nonwhite people. "A lot of rap isn't rap anymore, it's just people selling their souls," Marc Newman, a 28-year-old car salesman from New Rochelle, N.Y., said on Saturday. He was among about 20 men, women and children from area Baptist churches marching outside the Upper East Side residence of Philippe Dauman, the president and chief executive of Viacom Inc.
While 20 people isn't that impressive, and Enough is Enough shares their name with another group focused on protecting our children from "hard-core sexually-explicit materials that is harmful to our youth" (uh, sic?), the Times reminds us that both the N.A.A.C.P. and the National Congress of Black Women are on the side of "more corporate responsibility" when it comes to music videos. The sentiments have perhaps been explained more clearly by the blog BrilliantBrown.com, in reaction to the BET show "Hot Ghetto Mess": "At this point, I'm beginning to wonder if BET has been secretly purchased by the KKK or something." Jeez, the KKK or the Taliban, do I have to pick a side?

The only good thing to come of the recent scandals which illuminate white racism is the threadbare victory of blacks' having all their conspiracy theories validated. For all the good that does. Of course, the primary victory is one which is totally lost on those who apologize for it -- proof that skin privilege, with all its attendant social costs, is alive and well. Not far from first place in the pyrrhic victory category is the fall collection of the Emperor's New Clothes that is white intellectual superiority. Man, how hard privilege has to work to deny itself. I can't decide whether it's more painful than bitterly amusing to watch.
Check out Dick Cavett on Imus's return to the air. Isn't he supposed to be the intellectual's intellectual? That's why I clicked on it, figuring that someone of Cavett's supposed candlepower would give me something to think about. But, alas, the entire post is so embarrassingly silly, or should be, it's hard to pick out the dumbest nuggets, but let's try, shall we?
There's no getting around what he said, of course, but it's worth asking under what circumstances would a man ever be justified in calling a bunch of women — of any color — by the volatile term "hos"? The first requirement, really, would be that he would have to know them. How can an insult be personal if the person delivering it and the person(s) receiving it don't know each other? Imus would have had to meet the ladies and determine to his satisfaction that they were, um . . . how to say? . . . ladies of light virtue. And then he would have to decide to broadcast the authenticated fact. And what on earth would have to be in his mind were he to do that?
Wow. "There's no getting around what he said" but there should have been no backlash. And note the replacement of rac- and sexism with the much more user-friendly "personal insult;" power is nothing if not sneaky and manipulative in shrouding itself. A statement can't be rac- or sexist - my bad, insulting - unless it's utterer had actual knowledge of his target's moral status. Hmmm, sorta leaves out the part where the very essence of rac- or sexism is negative essentializations based on demeaning the Other. As for what would "have to be on his mind?" how 'bout white supremacy? It's unthinkable that his buddy is racist, therefore, he isn't, no matter what he says. And, then there's this:
At the risk of seeming class-conscious, whenever I've appeared with Imus, the folks who mentioned seeing me were certainly . . . well . . . is there a nice way of saying "well above average"?
Anyone? Anyone? Is there?
There are worthy arguments to be made in support of Imus then and his return to the air now. This includes none of them.
At least there's one thing Cavett and I can agree on re Imus: "A lot of people did not come off well." Neither did their IQs. Good thing I have no actual knowledge of whether Dick Cavett is a...never mind.

The Federation of American Scientists' director of the nuclear information project Hans Kristensen reports that he has gotten ahold of a surprising document that shows the Bush White House guided the US military to change the US nuclear posture in 2002 to develop nuclear strike plans against rogue states, including North Korea, Iran and Iraq.
"Everybody got so afraid of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorists and the combination of the two that White House guidance ordered the military to prepare nuclear strike plans against them," Kristensen tells me in a phone interview Monday. "This particular document is the main surprise here. It is a briefing that that US strategic command held sometime in 2002 which is about national nuclear war plans that went into effect in March 2003. Since then, there has been only upgrade of the plan."
Kristensen says the document he got hold of is a compilation of slides, 126 pages. "They only released 23 of those, and most of that is heavily redacted," Kristensen says. "But one thing they surprisingly let through is the identification of new strike plans against rogue states. And this is a surprise. ... This shows nuclear strike planning rose all the way to the top, the national strategic war plan, a new development."
Now, the Nebraska teacher who was having sex with her sixth-grader has cost herself prison and him the good life in America. Turns out he's an illegal immigrant from Mexico and, having fled with him there, he's now stuck. What's love got to do with it? Everything. Maybe women should do some re-thinking about their school girl notions of love and romance and how entitled to them they are. Maybe we should do that before we cross the line into child abuse and violence. Like Nowak, I don't have much sympathy for Peterson, however much in love she thinks she is, however well she treated him. She's turned this child from a munchkin who should be playing X Box too much into a smooth operator. She's his "Baby Gurl" and -- check this -- he defends their relationship as "[not just] about the sex but that it was pretty good."
"Pretty good"? That's how he should be rating the latest Simpson's episode, not sex. What little benefit of the doubt I had for her, sure she believed herself in love and wasn't a habitual abuser, evaporated. Perspective restored. The great sex guru Dan Savage frequently reminds the older partner in a sexual relationship to treat the younger one like a campsite -- left better than when found. There's simply no way for an adult to accomplish that with a sixth grader.

Fred Thompson had this to say on Meet the Press today, via Marc Ambinder:
MR. RUSSERT: This is the 2004 Republican Party platform, and here it is: "We say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution"... Could you run as a candidate on that platform, promising a human life amendment banning all abortions?
MR. THOMPSON: No... No. I have alwaysand that's been my position the entire time I've been in politics. I thought Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. I think this platform originally came out as a response to particularly Roe v. Wade because of that. Before Roe v. Wade, states made those decisions. I think people ought to be free at state and local levels to make decisions that even Fred Thompson disagrees with. That's what freedom is all about. And I think the diversity we have among the states, the system of federalism we have where power is divided between the state and the federal government is, is, isserves us very, very well. I think that's true of abortion. I think Roe v. Wade hopefully one day will be overturned, and we can go back to the pre-Roe v. Wade days. But...
MR. RUSSERT: Each state would make their own abortion laws.
MR. THOMPSON: Yeah.
Bravo for not pandering, Mr. Thompson, though you've made your life just a little bit harder. Also, this is tricky issue on which to apply the old federalism argument. If you believe life begins at conception, it's hard to argue that states ought to make their own laws. Life ought to be protected everywhere. If you believe women have a fundamental right to control their own bodies, then you believe that right ought to be protected everywhere. This isn't like school vouchers or gun laws. Inalienable rights are in question.
Anyway, I also liked this from MSNBC's First Read:
We noticed more than 30 "umms" from Thompson before losing count and at least nine throat clearings -- often right before answering a difficult question.
Yeah, he's not the slickest guy in the world.
Lisa Nowak, the diaper-wearing astronaut who went whacko over a man, is probably going to get away with stalking, assault, attempted kidnapping (to God's know what end) and, setting feminism back a thousand years.
A judge has thrown out everything but the supposed bats in Lisa Nowak's belfry. The evidence obtained from her car (including diapers, allegedly both used and unused): gone. Her statements to the police: gone. Her electronic ankle monitor: gone. Hell, it wasn't even me that Nowak stalked cross country and pepper-sprayed but I'd like to know where she is at all times; what if I'd accidentally scored some killer shoes on sale that she'd been eying? Fire alarms should accompany her every movement. This matters because Nowak's attorneys "in August filed a notice of intent to rely on an insanity defense, saying in court documents her diagnoses include a litany of more than a dozen psychiatric disorders."
How novel, women just can't control their emotions and shouldn't be held accountable. She was in love! I guess we should be grateful she isn't going with the PMS defense. "More than a dozen psychiatric disorders" and NASA never noticed? Females like Nowak hurt women everywhere with this kind of sorry-ass, female jealousy and emotional collapse. It's not bad enough that she was going to put a beat down on another human over a man, now she's going to make every woman in a high stress environment wonder if those around her are watching to see if she'll buckle and go haywire on the corporate retreat, let alone the flight deck.

Why was Tupac killed?
Poster Handle
Post Content
You fools....
Tupac thought the concept of the "illuminati" was bullshit, although it really isn't.
There is an interview, you can find it on youtube, might even be the one that someone posted in this thread already, where Tupac explains "killuminati." He said that dudes in jail would tell him about the illuminati and he thought it was a bunch of bullshit basically meant to "keep the black man down" therefore he was going to "kill that shit." Hence, "killuminati."
I'm sorry if you want to believe that the illuminati killed Tupac, which could be true, but most likely isn't. Tupac beat the shit out of a gangster named Orlando Anderson that night in Las Vegas, and it was Anderson and his thug friends who found Tupac after the altercation and shot him to death. Orlando Anderson was then found dead in the Compton area 2 weeks later, most likely a retaliation hit ordered by Suge Knight.
Tupac didn't know shit. He thought the illuminati was a joke and fake, he said of the people in jail who tried to tell him about it "How would they know? Who told them?" It's in that interview... he might have been a bright artist but he really had no clue about what is going on in this world... just another victim of black-on-black crime I'm afraid....
Anonymous Coward 877495
Orlando Anderson was shot and killed on May 29, 1998; Tupac died on September 13, 1996.

Beginner Float plane, for lake use
I've been looking for a good beginner, electric airplane that I could put floats on, so I can fly it on the lake we live on. My favorite looking electric airplane I have found is the "Miss 2" from hobby lobby (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/miss2.htm). I saw this airplane in the AMA's "Model Aviation" magazine, that a person had put "edo floats" on. Does anyone know what those floats are, and if so, where could I get some? If not, where could I get some floats for the Miss 2? I think I may have found some accapteble floats at (http://www.iflyherr.com/k509.html), but it says to use on a gas plane, and I was wondering if they will work on an electric? There is also another version of the miss 2 called the "Miss Chief" (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/misschief.htm), that is a biplane, and might be better with floats attached than the miss 2? Does anyone know anything about this? There is also another airplane I like called the "Sunny Boy" which is also from Hobby Lobby (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/sunboy.htm). It had floats that you can buy with it, and looks like a good airplane, but I like the miss 2 better and would rather find some floats for it. Does anyone know anything about the flying characterisics of the miss 2 or the sunny boy? There is one last plane that I have found, called the "Wingo" also from hobby lobby (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/hlwingo.htm). I can also buy floats made for it, but it just doesn't look all that great. I also don't know how it flies. Does anyone know about it? Does anyone know of any other airplanes that I could put floats on? I would rather have one that I can remove the floats from so I can fly at a park sometime, rather than a flying boat. I was also wondering, what if I were to crash the airplane in the water? Would it hurt the electric engine? Also, the sunny boy is foam, so if it were to get wet, what would happen? How can you waterproof an electric airplane? Also, if I were to learn to fly it myself, should I start out flying it over water, or land? Which is easier to land and take off from? I was also wondering if I were to get one of these electric airplanes, and I wanted a NiHM instead of the NiCD that they come with, how would I know which one to buy? That's about all the questions I have for now. Thanks for your time!
Oct 05, 2001, 01:40 AM | |
Wow, that's alot of questions in one message.
I'll tackle some of them.... In principle you can put floats on just about anything, but the extra weight and drag do require a little bit more power. Actually, the Wingo flies very well and right now the floats are on sale. I just got a set today - they'd work on any of the planes you listed. My set may find its way under my clipped wing T-52 (www.jkaerotech.com) which is well liked as a beginner plane here on the Ezone. It, too, is a foam plane. Also, don't sell flying boats short - they can be hand launched and landed on grass without much worry. As for waterproofing an electric..... I've flown four of my planes off of water, and generally haven't made too much effort to keep the water out other than being careful (sometimes not too successfully). I've never damaged a motor, though there's a bit of rust on the shaft of one of my motors which spent about a hour underwater in two incidents in the spring. The motor is running just fine. Electronics, once they get wet, tend not to work. But, when dried out again, they usually come back. This is true of receivers, servos and electronic speed controls. Taking them out of their cases and laying them in the sun has always brought them back for me. Of course taking some care to arrange it so that it's not really easy for the components to get wet is a good idea. But the only way you will for sure lose the use of components in the water is if they go to the bottom of the lake or river in a crash and you can't retrieve them (or you fly off of salt water - there all bets are off as well). A foam plane would pretty well prevent stuff going to the bottom of the lake as long as the motor battery is well restrained. Some makers of ESCs make versions that are waterproofed. The Model Electronics MX-80 comes that way standard, and I've had Castle Creations waterproof a Griffin 40 for me for float plane duty. I'm also learning about something called Corrosion-X that another member of my club says will protect all electronics so that they can even run when immersed. I haven't tried that yet, though. Learning to fly by yourself is not the best way. If you must you want something that will fly very slowly, and hopefully bounce, and you want to fly in a big open area where you have easy access to the whole thing. I can't imagine learning to fly off of water unless you had a small boat at the ready at all times to retrieve the inevitable upsets. Let's leave the NiCd vs. NiMH discussion until after you select a plane and a power system...... but in general NiMH cells that are physically the same size as the NiCds they are replacing have some higher capacity and, except for sub-C sized cells, a little to more than a little lower output power. I'll let someone else add to this. |

Emma Stone on the Set of Birdman in NYC
Emma Stone Breaks From Spider-Man to Hop on the Birdman Set in NYC
Emma Stone had a backdrop of lilies behind her while shooting scenes for her latest film project, Birdman, in NYC today. The dark comedy centers on a washed-up actor, played by Michael Keaton, who — once famous for his iconic superhero role — is looking to redeem himself with a Broadway play. Emma is playing Michael's fresh-out-of-rehab daughter in the movie and will act alongside Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianakis as well.
Emma is currently set hopping in the Big Apple as she is also in the middle of filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Andrew was spotted bike riding yesterday solo, while his girlfriend made headlines with her latest cover spot on Marie Claire Australia's May issue. It was also announced that in between movie sets and magazine covers, Emma's teaming up with Olivia Wilde to cohost the 16th annual Revlon Run/Walk for Women in NYC on May 4.

The Honolulu Marathon takes place on Sunday, December 11th this year, and in the past has averaged about 25,000 finishing runners. To put that number in perspective, that's only about 10,000 less participants than compete in the world's largest marathon in London. First held in 1973, the Honolulu Marathon has maintained popularity with marathoners partly because it requires no qualifying standards, has no limit on its number of runners, and has no time limit to finish the course.

New Jersey citizens -- and Whitney fans and haters alike -- have been debating this question since Gov. Chris Christie announced he would fly the state's flags at half-staff for the singer Saturday as mourners attend her funeral in Newark, New Jersey.Christie's decision has been widely criticized -- 77% of USA Today readers called it "inappropriate" in one informal and unscientific poll. But he has strongly defended the order, hailing Houston as "a daughter of New Jersey" who should be honored for her "cultural contributions."For decisions like this, there is a federal "Flag Code," which stipulates only that the flag be flown at half-staff to honor deaths of certain public officials, adding that governors can honor members of the government or military from their state.Opinion: Whitney Houston's glorious voiceBut regardless of what the official code says, the standards around flag-flying have been fuzzy for years. Most of Christie's prior orders to lower the flag have honored service members killed in combat, yet he issued the same order after the death of Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Frank Sinatra received the honor years earlier.So there's some precedent here for musicians, and Houston's astronomical album sales certainly make the case for her cultural influence. Her ascent from humble Garden State roots to pop superstardom offers a source of pride for Christie and other New Jerseyites. And flying a flag at half-staff could provide a form of collective mourning, a way to rally a community around things they share -- like a hometown hero whose music touched countless people throughout the state and around the world.Is all that enough to merit an honor usually reserved for people who've performed tremendous services -- and made incomparable sacrifices -- for their country? True, Houston's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is by far the most acclaimed (and best-selling) recording of the national anthem by a pop singer. But should that enter her into the ranks of American heroes?Indeed, giving this honor to Houston seems to illustrate what psychologists Zeno Franco and Philip Zimbardo have called our increasingly "watered-down" view of heroism. Franco and Zimbardo argue that we pay a cultural price when we praise athletes and celebrities as "heroes": We lose sight of the strong moral qualities that should define heroism, and we lose touch with what it takes to nurture more demanding forms of heroism."By diminishing the ideal of heroism," they write, "we keep ourselves from confronting the older, more demanding forms of this ideal. We do not have to challenge ourselves to see if, when faced with a situation that called for courage, we would meet that test."Through their research, Franco and Zimbardo have come up with their own criteria for what constitutes a hero. For one thing, heroism entails some type of quest, for example to save a life or to uphold a principle. It also involves real sacrifice or risk, including a risk of one's own life.Who meets these standards? The 30 service members for whom Christie has lowered the flag clearly do. Whitney Houston clearly does not.In fact, the sad truth is that for more than a decade, Whitney Houston sat on the end of the moral spectrum opposite from presidents and war heroes. Her struggles with drug addiction and her troubled marriage to Bobby Brown tarnished her public image. She became an object of scorn and derision.And, ultimately, I suspect that this is part of the reason we're seeing such effusive tributes to her now.Yes, some critics of Christie's half-staff decision say it sends the wrong message to give this level of recognition to someone with a history of substance abuse. But I can't shake the feeling that the official, government-sanctioned respect Houston is getting in her death is on some level a reaction to all the insults she endured in her life.When Houston's life and voice fell apart, many of her onetime fans and longtime critics showed little sympathy. The flag flying at half-staff feels like a way not just to honor her virtues as an artist, but to show remorse for how she was treated as a person."What I would say to everybody is, 'There but for the grace of God go I,'" Christie said.But I don't remember any politician embracing her as "New Jersey's daughter" after she did her embarrassing "crack is wack" interview with Diane Sawyer, after she checked into rehab, or after Brown was charged with physically abusing her.In that light, a flag flying at half-staff seems more like an apology than an honor -- an act of contrition for spurning a women who suffered addiction and abuse. Behind the tributes lies guilt and, too late, some compassion.Christie says he believes people are questioning his decision because of Houston's drug problems.But maybe it's partly because of her troubles, not in spite of them, that she's being honored.Follow CNN Opinion on Twitter.Join the conversation on Facebook.Whitney HoustonKey moments and last daysA look at the life of Whitney Houston -- from her birth in New Jersey to her final days.'Soundtrack' of our livesIn the 1980s, there was something about her music that touched and inspired people.

Do the Legwork
Your first step is to find out what you are entitled to, both legally and from your employer. Get to know the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Under the FMLA, you can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave if your company has at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius and if you have worked for your employer for at least one year and for a minimum of 1,250 hours. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits job bias against pregnant women and requires that a pregnant woman is entitled to the same benefits afforded other employees who are temporarily medically disabled.
The next step is to learn what your employer offers. That information is available in your employee handbook or by talking with the person in your company who handles benefits.
"If your employer has a handbook, you can ask your human-resources representative for it without saying why you need it," says Ellen Bravo, codirector of 9to5, National Association of Working Women, in Milwaukee. Typically, the handbook tells you whether you are covered by the FMLA, the length of leave you're allowed, and whether all or part of it is paid. (When your leave is paid, it is sometimes called disability pay and often is a percentage of your regular pay.) The handbook usually spells out the policy on using sick days and vacation days for your leave as well.
If you're friendly with colleagues who've taken a leave, discreetly ask them what they worked out. Your coworkers may tell you that three months off is the best deal you can get or clue you in to how to negotiate a more generous maternity leave with your boss.

STV is to stop broadcasting magazine show The Hour after a switch to a weekly format was unable to attract new viewers.
The show, which was hosted by Michelle McManus and Tam Cowan, moved from a daily teatime show to a weekly 8pm slot on Tuesdays.
Elizabeth Partyka, deputy director of channels at STV, confirmed on Thursday that this week's show would be the last for the time being.
She said: "Television is all about taking risks and experimenting with programming and our schedule. On this occasion, the show isn't delivering the ratings that we expect.
"We're delighted with the performance of other STV shows including Scotland's Greatest Album and we'll be confirming plans for 2012 programming later this year."

The historic Haunted Mill Scream Park, near Hanover, York County went on the auction block on Saturday.
Dozens came out to bid on the historic Menges Mills property, auctioned by Fortna Auctioneers and Marketing Group.
It's one of the oldest mills in the nation; the first buildings were constructed in 1783 and many still include their original features.
People from several states and even Canada threw up their bidding numbers for the 170-acre property.
"There's a lot of land, so you can do different things with, so I think with the large plot plan, and the variety of things that have been operating here, there's a lot of interest," says Michael R. Fortna, CEO, Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group.
Parts of the Mill went up for sale following the death of the property's main caretaker.
A Maryland woman offered the winning bid of $525,000.
She is the new owner of the haunted mill, along with other rental buildings, barns and outbuildings, including The Farm Travel Club, a swinger-lifestyle club.
At this point, we know she plans to keep the Haunted Mill intact and operational for Halloween spookiness.

Liouvillian integration and Bernoulli foliations
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information Abstract: Analytic foliations in the 2-dimensional complex projective space with algebraic invariant curves are studied when the holonomy groups of these curves are solvable. It is shown that such a condition leads to the existence of a Liouville type first integral, and, under ``generic'' extra conditions, it is proven that these foliations can be defined by Bernoulli equations.

I have been reading and reading and now I am so lost in the forums. I have a bg-14 bayou classic burner and want to install it in a brew stand that is being controlled by a honeywell vr8200a lp gas controller. will this work? Do I need to drill out the orifice to convert it to low pressure lp? Any help would be appreciated. I just want to brew and drink good beer not blow me and the girl friend up!!!
You can drill the gas fitting orifice out to 3/32" or buy the LP gas valve from Williams brewing if you are not comfortable drilling the gas fitting. You will need a low pressure LP regulator, a Marshall 290 series regulator works well, this regulator is common in the RV trade so obtaining one is not hard. If you buy the Honeywell VR8200 valve just make sure the LP conversion parts are included, otherwise it is about $5 for the stiffer spring used for the natural gas to LP conversion. The same advice is needed for the Q314 pilot, you need the .010 LP orifice as they are usually sold with the .018 natural gas orifice. If you need additional part number help PM me and I can forward the links to suppliers for needed parts.
Thank you Kladue for the info. I all ready have a low pressure brew stand with jet burners that sucks. I think I will order the valve from Williams because it would be nice to controll the flame some.
You can set the maximum flame size by tweaking the built in regulator feature of the Honeywell valve, open burner valve wide open and back off regulator screw on control valve body to max flame level you want. That is the method used in the field when the control valve is installed in a retrofit or first time firing of a new furnace or boiler.

Stocks rose at the opening bell as the market weighed benign inflation data with a weak outlook from J.C. Penney.

Stocks rallied into the new week after JPMorgan Chase raised its offer for Bear Stearns and a report on home sales came in better than expected.
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a mixed open for Wall Street after the Easter break, with investors still nervous about the state of the economy.
The most important fact about this week is that it is the last week of a dismal quarter. Traders got annihilated in January, as the market went against both longs (in the first half of the month) and shorts (in the second half).

DeAndre Jordan's playing time with Clippers source of debate
March 22, 2010
By Lisa Dillman
Believe it or not, there are remaining, lingering points of interest in the final three-and-a-half weeks of the Clippers' season. Starting with second-year center DeAndre Jordan . If anything, Jordan's progress and playing time has been one of the more debated issues among the fans. Many wonder and question why he isn't playing more. Jordan is averaging 14:41 minutes per game and played 24 minutes in Sunday's 102-89 loss to the Kings, scoring eight points and grabbing seven rebounds.
DeAndre Jordan has become anchor of Clippers' defense
January 18, 2011
By Lisa Dillman
Wally Pipp was lost on 22-year-old DeAndre Jordan. Frankly, the old-school reference might have been lost on Jordan's parents. But then the Clippers' locker room skews quite young. Blake Griffin, 21, was educating some of his youthful teammates on a road trip about semi-recent NBA draft history and the career of Patrick Ewing. "I'm too young" to know about Ewing, Jordan said to a couple of reporters. Reporter: "I'm too young to know Wally Pipp. But I know about Wally Pipp.
Clippers' Doc Rivers lobbies to make DeAndre Jordan an All-Star
January 29, 2014
By Ben Bolch
Doc Rivers' message had a nice ring to it: Vote for D.J. The Clippers coach said Wednesday he had lobbied his fellow Western Conference coaches to cast an All-Star vote for center DeAndre Jordan , who has become one of the game's elite big men in his sixth NBA season. "I got a great response," Rivers said, "but that's why you go under a curtain and you vote for real because [they say], 'Yeah, I'm going to vote for him' and then they [pull] that other lever. " The coaches will select the seven reserves from the West who will be announced Thursday afternoon on TNT: three frontcourt players, two backcourt players and two wild-card players from any position.
Clippers' DeAndre Jordan to face friend Dwight Howard of Houston
November 3, 2013
By Broderick Turner
They are close friends, but Clippers center DeAndre Jordan and Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard will be foes Monday night. They both faced adverse circumstances last season, but Jordan and Howard are in better situations now. Jordan does say it will be a bigger "challenge" for him to deal with the dominating Howard when the Clippers play the Rockets at Staples Center. When Jordan was asked about his issues last season with former Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro , Jordan paused and chuckled before answering.
DeAndre Jordan promoted as part of 'big three' strategy for Clippers
October 17, 2013
Helene Elliott
Two rare or unprecedented sights to look for during the Clippers' upcoming season: • DeAndre Jordan's image on the cover of the team's media guide with franchise players and acknowledged leaders Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, a statement about what will be expected of the 25-year-old center in his sixth season. • DeAndre Jordan, in person, on the court during the fourth quarter of tight games. New Coach Doc Rivers' imprint is on both moves. On the first point, Rivers made it known he wants to promote a "big three" concept rather than focusing on All-Stars Griffin and Paul.
For his teammates, Clippers' DeAndre Jordan is a project in progress
December 1, 2012
By Broderick Turner
His teammates constantly encourage him, doing all they can to keep Clippers center DeAndre Jordan engaged. They have all seen Jordan's development on offense, so now the idea is to get him the ball more than the Clippers did last season. "I know that he worked a lot on his offense all summer," said Clippers guard Chauncey Billups. "You've got to throw DJ a bone or two. You've got to make him feel like he's involved. And if you do that, he's going to play extremely hard on the other end. I know that about him. " That was the case Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Clippers center DeAndre Jordan learns by the seat of his pants
September 24, 2013
Ben Bolch
The last Clippers fans saw of DeAndre Jordan, he was making his usual fourth-quarter playoff moves. Turning his head to watch teammates run up the court. Readjusting in his seat whenever the urge struck. Standing up during timeouts. It's tough to earn your eight-figure salary when you're confined to the bench for four of six fourth quarters, as Jordan was during the Clippers' first-round loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. "There's always some frustration," Jordan said of not playing late in games.
With Chris Paul out, DeAndre Jordan and Darren Collison step up
January 3, 2014
By Broderick Turner
DALLAS - With Chris Paul suffering a separated right shoulder, the Clippers needed some help from other sources. They got it from center DeAndre Jordan and backup point guard Darren Collison in a big way in the Clippers' victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. Jordan scored a career-high 25 points on 11-for-14 shooting. He also had 18 rebounds and two blocked shots. BOX SCORE: Clippers 119, Dallas 112 "DJ was great," Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said.
DeAndre Jordan is a nice guy who might not last
May 19, 2012
T.J. Simers
Here's one for you: What would you do? I've grown to like the Clippers, love what Chris Paul has brought to them and appreciate what Blake Griffin has to offer. It's a fun group, Randy Foye and Caron Butler solid as individuals and Eric Bledsoe and Nick Young out of control but always in the cause of making something happen. Mo Williams is sour, but there's always one, or two, if you want to count Kenyon Martin . But who needs them if DeAndre Jordan is in the room?
Clippers' Ryan Gomes and DeAndre Jordan try to figure out technical fouls
March 7, 2011
By Lisa Dillman
Technical fouls were flying in the third quarter, one going to a rare Clippers recipient ( Ryan Gomes ) and a not-so-rare offender ( DeAndre Jordan .) "That was my second one ever," Gomes said, "ever since I've been in the NBA. When [the official] made the call, I kept talking about it instead of leaving it alone. I brought it upon myself, got caught up in the moment. "I won't get another. I guess every 2 1/2 years I'll get one. " Said Jordan: "It seems like you can't say anything now. I'm not going to say anything that's going to get me in trouble.

Gains on the S&P 500 petered out in the last half-hour of trading on Friday meaning the overall increase on the week was a paltry 1.05 points. But, up for the eighth straight week, it still represented the longest stretch of weekly advances since 2004 Investors were keeping an eye on retail reports as shoppers headed to the stores on Black Friday. Initial reports suggest that queues were down on last year but that may be due to more stores opening on Thanksgiving and robust on line sales. Frantic sales were reported at Macy's with Michael Kors and Coach being targeted by bargain hunters (see Macy's Company Snapshot at end of article). In other news, the Commerce Department released building permit data for October, saying the month's seasonally adjusted annual rate rose 6.2 percent from the September total and 13.9 percent over the October 2012 total. Single-family home permits were 9-percent better than October 2012′s total. Permits on apartments were 24-percent better. Stocks of homebuilders benefitted with Pulte (+2.96%), Toll Brothers (+1.10%) and Lennar (+3.50%) all ending up on the week. Earnings Releases Hewlett-Packard Hewlett-Packard turned around a $6.9 billion loss in fourth quarter 2012 to report a $1.4 billion profit in 2013 as strong sales from the enterprise division offset declining PC sales. Revenue for the fourth quarter was down 3% from a year ago but represented the smallest decline the company has posted in the past nine quarters. Meg Whitman, HP president and chief executive officer is now two years into a five year turnaround plan that is already showing some success. Cloud server and 3d printers also offer exciting opportunities for HP and Mrs Whitman made clear in the analyst conference call that HP intend to be a player in this market given their existing multibillion-dollar printing business. For fiscal 2014, HP reiterated guidance for non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $3.55 to $3.75 and GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $2.85 to $3.05. The stock closed on Friday at $27.35. Tiffany & Co Luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co. on Tuesday reported a 50 percent increase in profit for the third quarter, driven by strong demand for the company's high-end jewellery in Asia and America as well as margin expansion. Michael Kowalski, chairman and chief executive officer said, "Operating earnings rose faster than sales, reflecting favorable product cost trends and ongoing well-controlled expenses. We're experiencing excellent customer response to our expanded fashion jewelry designs, highlighted by the ATLAS collection, as well as continued growth in our fine and statement jewelry, with particular strength in our yellow diamond collection." Worldwide net sales increased 7% to $911 million in the third quarter as he Americas region increased 4% to $417 million and the Asia-Pacific region saw total sales increased 27% to $238 million. Looking ahead, management raised earnings guidance for fiscal 2013 to $3.65-$3.75 per diluted share, compared with $3.50-$3.60 in its previous outlook and $3.25 per diluted share in 2012. Dycom Industries Dycom Industries Inc, a leading service provider for engineering, construction and telecommunications industries in the US and Canada, reported first-quarter fiscal 2014 results on Monday with GAAP net income of $18.7 million or 54 cents per share up from $11.9 million or 35 cents per share. The year on year increase was primarily driven by a significant top-line growth as Dycom's total revenue surged 58.6% year over year to $512.7 million. The company's organic contract revenues grew 10% after excluding revenues worth $157.1 million from its acquisitions in 2013. Macy's Company Snapshot Macy's was hit hard by the great recession but returned to profitability in 2010 and has managed to report consistently healthy results since then despite challenging economic conditions and weak discretionary consumer spending. The company embarked on an ambitious turnaround strategy named My Macy's to identify what is working locally and share with other stores. It has also developed its multi channel distribution through stores, website and mobile devices so that customers can browse online, then come to Macy's to lay on the mattress or try on the shoes before buying them in the store. The turnaround has been a success and earnings have grown from $330 million in 2010 to $1.3 billion in 2013. Same store sales are improving. This is a great result in a period of declining consumer spend and bodes well as the economy continues to recover. Recent research on disposable income by IBISWorld Inc forecasts compound annual growth of 2.5% between 2013 and 2018 which should have a leveraged positive impact on spending on luxury goods. With Bloomingdales performing well and The Finish Line Inc partnership showing positive results Macy's earnings may have further to go. The stock closed on Friday at $53.26 representing a historic PE of 14.94.

If you're not a paying member, you don't get any of that. What you do get, though, is an ad-supported, Pandora-like radio service that plays songs similar to what you're looking for. As you vote songs up or down, Spotify gets a better idea of the kind of music you're into. And in my experience, the app learns incredibly quickly. I was impressed with the song selection, to say the least. If you'd rather listen to a broader selection of music, you can fire up one of Spotify's several genre stations. Unfortunately what Spotify doesn't have are curated radio stations or alternative programming for things like sports and news. This is where a service like Slacker Premium has the upper hand.
If you're into sharing what you're listening to, then Spotify is probably your best bet, considering its tight integration with Facebook. In fact, the settings menu includes an option to show every track you listen to on your profile. Also, using Android's built-in share menu, you can share track info through Gmail, SMS, Google+, and pretty much any other app you have installed on your device.
Spotify's sound quality was great, as was its streaming stability (when connected to a reliable data signal). If you have a strong Wi-Fi signal, you can even up your sound quality to High or Extreme. You also get the same options for any songs you choose to cache on your device.
