Note: This post contains spoilers on Prometheus. Do not read if you haven't seen the film yet.
Thinking about it more, I have answered some questions I had from Prometheus the other day. Why did the humanoid alien turn against the human race it created?
I realized the answer midway through yesterday: it was because that humanoid alien was controlled by the same alien species that was in Scott's Alien (I've used "alien" too many times in a sentence, but who cares). That was the point where I wanted to stand up and shout, "This is an Alien prequel!"
Or is it? Ridley Scott never gave a clear answer on whether Prometheus is the prequel to Alien before its premiere. I heard that one of the writers said that Prometheus takes place on the same planet as Alien, but maybe that's the only similarity.
What really defines a prequel? The Star Wars prequels just led up to the original series. The Godfather Part II (which was also technically a sequel) showed Vito's rise to power. And the upcoming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will lead up to the discovery of the ring.
But Prometheus isn't really leading up to Alien. At the end of the film, Elizabeth and David decide to find the humanoid aliens to ask why they tried to kill the human race. So the film series (if there is a sequel) may not end with Ripley heading to the doomed planet.
But my favorite parts of the film were the Alien references. I'm pretty sure those stone cartons (that's the best way I can describe them) were actually aliens eggs that killed off the humanoid aliens. And who can forget that the alien's suit was in Alien too (see below).
And of course, that final scene featuring the alien popping out of the humanoid alien's chest. Looking back on it, I enjoyed Prometheus more now than I did in the theater. That doesn't change my opinion that the story is still weak, but the film still works well as a whole.
(Update: I just read a Time Magazine Article discussing the ending that was completely different than my theory. Click here to see the post)


text: Hi, welcome to The Christian Corner. Today is the 2nd chapter in my Hell is Real series. Many movies have been made showing people, mainly children that have had near death experiences in which they claim they saw Heaven. I must admit the latest one, Miracles From Heaven was quite good, I really enjoyed it, a co worker who is an avid non believer went to see it and admitted the movie bought her to tears. If this movie could do this to such a person then I must say it's serving it's purpose Hell Is Real Part 2 Scott Davis 04/20/2016

For any weight loss strategy to be profitable, a low calorie diet program plan along with suitable workouts is important. If you do not purchase junk meals, you cannot consume it. It does not matter how much I am craving chips, ice cream, or something that I would feel guilty soon after consuming, I can't eat it if it is not physically in my home or inside my attain. It could have been as well numerous quick food meals or also considerably soda pop or a constant diet plan of unhealthy processed food. Every single week, one particular of Jamie's recipes will seem in 1 of our boxes, with all the ingredients you want to develop a flavour-packed dinner.
I am practically finishing the fourth day, I am locating lack of interest in meals now, even though. It is helpful if you realize how you became overweight and find out what foods caused you to turn into overweight. Losing weight is not hard if you learn how to eat healthier and this consists of what sorts of food are ideal and what foods are bad for you and your body.
After you make it clear to your self and to other people that you are in this for the lengthy haul, the way in which you interact with meals will alter which will outcome in optimistic effects. It is also the emotion felt while eating that affects how that meals is absorbed in your body. I know it depends on body type but is it attainable to drop 20 pounds in 4 weeks with this diet regime and little bit workout for 3 days (1 hour) and rest of the four days anything simple. Natural vitamins in these drinks make for healthy food habits, and steer clear of the non-healthy food habits.
The ideal way to eat healthful is to spend consideration to how you really feel just before, in the course of and right after you eat particular foods and combinations of foods. Because our chefs and nutritionists generate and choose recipes on a weekly basis, they are able to guarantee that your diet regime is balanced and gives all the nutrients you want for a healthy way of life. Consuming the identical thing every day for weight loss assists with portions and meals planning.
For instance, I know that I have a busy life and that I do not always have time to make breakfast/lunch/dinner so I attempt to strategy meals that are wholesome and effortless to make, but also cost-effective, durable, and that will last a particular quantity of time, and and I only buy groceries that fit into this plan. Family members is exactly where we ultimately appear towards when we need help so i truly hop they get their act collectively but if practically nothing else, at least know that you are undertaking this for your self and your wellness and when you do get to your aim weight you can prove them otherwise!

NEW ORLEANS, LASEPTEMBER 10, 2018Trainer Jose Luis Sanchez III, a native Laredo, Texas, earned his first Fair Grounds training title, while veteran jockey John Hamilton garnered another riding title and Rogelio Marquez, Jr. and Jose Ortiz were tied for the leading owners at the just concluded Fair Grounds Race Course Quarter Horse meet in New Orleans.
Sanchez, who also trained the winner of Saturday's $434,538 LQHBA Sale Futurity(RG1), compiled an (21) 8-1-4 record and his stable banked $337,129 at the Fair Grounds.
Trainers Barbara Alcantara and Kenneth Weeks were tied for second with six wins each.
Hamilton took the leading jockey honors by riding 12 wins from 71 mounts with earnings of $187,305, a 17% win clip. The leading jockey was also honored by track officials for riding his 2000th Quarter Horse winner during the summer meet at Delta Downs.
Also on Saturday (Sep 8) at the Fair Grounds, Hamilton was feted by members of the jockey colony, horsemen, his wife, Sharon, and several of his grandchildren for a belated celebration of the milestone. Hamilton was emotional as he thanked a host of people for their support.
"Its so amazing to be surrounded by so many people," said Hamilton. "My success is owed to God, my owners, trainers, grooms, gate crew and my wife who has put up with so much! I will continue to ride and hope to win as many races as possible!"

Short description.
Precise Physics Motivation: A precision measurement of quartic gauge coupling at ECM=1TeV
Main observables.
the quartic interaction between vector bosons is an important step in testing the validity of the Standard Model at high energies. On of the key interests is due to the necessity of the SM-Higgs for the unitarization of this process. Higgs-related as well as more general BSM effects are expected to be observable in this channel at high center-of-mass energies.
Search Channel: e+e- → νν+WW/ZZ → νν+qqqq, ECM=1TeV
Detector Benchmark: Separation of hadronic W and Z decays in a {di-boson + high E_miss} environment (incl. JES, JER). Expected limits on anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings in (dim.-8) EFT framework.
Main observables.
Final observables: Dimension-8 EFT coefficients related to VV→V'V' vertex
Intermediate observables: QGCs, JER, JES, W/Z separation by mass Di-Boson four momenta, missing four momentum, jet content, angular distributions.

Once in your entire life, you must have experienced some or the other awkward situation that may have landed you into trouble. ...
Once in your entire life, you must have experienced some or the other awkward situation that may have landed you into trouble. But relax, you are not the only one. Facing an awkward situation can sometimes be inevitable but your reaction is what makes all the difference.
Think of moment when you texted the wrong person or the one when you got trapped in a boring family conversations. We all have been there, feeling if we could press a rewind button make a quick exit. Isn't it? Every such situation has two escape routes: you can either handle it smartly or make a fool out of yourself.
So here's how you can handle these 20 most cringe-worthy awkward situations like a boss.
Seriously! Nobody wants to be trapped in this embarrassing situation. And it gets even worse when someone else notices this. So now what? Just smile at your poor timings!
Aargh! It makes you irritated, right? You're having a conversation with someone and suddenly he or she gives a random answer and you're like "What???" Somehow later you come to know that their Bluetooth device was ON and that the reply wasn't for you.
Ever happened with you? Say yes!
Ever asked a random person to change the size of the apparel and then suddenly realized that they don't work there?! Don't know how that person feels like but it is actually awkward!
You probably think that they've bought it from the same sale you went to. Coming face to face gets really awkward spoiling your party mood.
It often happens when you are travelling alone. You may laugh out loud as you read something funny in a book or smile over a friend's text in public and then everyone looks at you.
Really, we all hate it! People may usually get most of your jokes and laugh at them. But what if they don't and you've to elaborate so much that you just get tired of explaining, it kinda kills you from inside. Doesn't it?
What's more, you feel like a total mess when people begin looking at you as if you're mad. And all you can do is fake a smile rather than getting frustrated.
Now, this is the most common awkward situation we all have faced at least once in life. And what's funnier is that you're trying to pull it again and again without noticing that it says PUSH and vice-versa.
All you can do is pretending that you like the gift. After all, you have been taught to accept all the gifts with a broad smile. And if you say no, she might get upset.
What to say? We are not satisfied with your work! But then what about his contribution to the project and you did appreciate his work once! Your HR department might advise you not to speak anything positive about him as it may backfire against you. On the closing note, you can just say – wish you good luck and thank you for your services to the company.
Don't worry how hard you try, you will never be able to answer them correctly. Making weird faces may feel like the only option left.
But if you can handle this situation smartly too. Even though deep down you are bitching that person, you can smile here (even faking a smile will be ok) and rather than answering his question, ask him how his family doing? Or just say, "I have to rush, we'll talk later!
You step into a restaurant, are served with water & offered a menu card. But you just realized that you've come at the wrong restaurant. This is really awkward now as you've to think of a reason to leave the restaurant. You can ease the situation by apologizing to the manager and telling him that you accidently entered the restaurant or that your friend ditched the plan.
Now this may feel terrible but that's okay. This ruins the excitement of the joke and also makes you feel awkward in front of the others.
It nearly took more than an hour to decipher the weird and cryptic texts sent to you by your drunk friend! Actually it doesn't make any sense but you just have to convert the texts anyhow to make them understandable.
Ever happened with you? Thinking of one more step to get down but unexpectedly you fall off the ground. O God it hurts!
Did that just remind you of the day? Oh we're sorry!
Attending the telemarketer calls is always irritating. What you should do is make them understand that you know that this is their part of a job, but you aren't really in need of a loan now so please don't call.
A: How are you?
B: I am fine. What about you?
A: Good. Thank You! (Argh….what to ask next!)
This type of conversation is a part of daily routine especially when you meet some friend of yours after a long time and are clueless about what to ask next!
Yeah! It feels awkward when you just want a shake hand with the person and he suddenly pulls you and gives you a tight hug.

A friend of mine bought many lovely foil baking cup,
she used them to bake numbers of cupcakes.
The result is, she could not to eat them all in one time,
and no one is willing to taste her "exquisite" workmanship.
" What should I do now? I don't want to waste them,
but they will become metamorphic soon." She said to me.
" Well, I just have some ideas, do as my way maybe some help." I said.
1. Freeze the cupcakes
Freezing is the best way to preserve food, but cupcake will become dry
after you put them into the refrigerator.
In fact, the cake in the refrigerator is to promote in the sugar and flour crystallization process,
so that the cake quickly deteriorate.
The best way is put them into the frozen room but the fresh room of the refrigerator.
Ultra low temperature environment will slow down the rate of sugar and flour crystallization.
Foil baking cup can better to transfer the low temperature to the cupcake,
and will not make the cupcake out of shape.
2. Fry the cupcakes
Fry with oil is a traditional way to keep food from metamorphic.
High temperature causes the water in the cake to dry off,
so that the shelf life of a certain extension.
But this way makes the cupcake become another type of food......
3. Cover a lid
Some foil cake cup provided lids. To a certain extent, isolate the cake and air contact.
But just for a short time to keep the cake fresh.

Origin: Holland
Colors: 218 Size: 1/2"x 2 3/4" Half-Stick: 1/2" x1 3/8"
Crafted in Holland since 1899, Rembrandt, living up to its legendary namesake, has grown to be one of the art world's most reputable brands. Working closely alongside artists, Rembrandt has developed a line of pastels with an emphasis on color, light fastness, and high quality pigments in combination with only the purest and softest forms of kaolin as a binder. One can rely on consistency and smooth application from Rembrandt, as they are free of metal-based pigments such as lead, cadmium, and cobalt, which can result in hard bits within the pastel stick. Rembrandt are great for under painting and details that require precise strokes. In 2014 Rembrandt added 15 new extra dark shades (.2), bringing the total colors in the line to 218. The 225 full set in a wood box has 203 colors plus extra white, black and duplicates of other popular colors in a deluxe wood box (new darks not included).

Quarterly Update

The warm(ish) winter weather has given us an opportunity of continuing the general maintenance on the estate like the fencing, of which we have some miles!
We also needed to repair a water leak which was, of course, right in the middle of the car park and much further down than we thought. Matt was allowed out of the hole by Christmas, though.
But when the weather did get colder and frostier the morning view from the office window was wonderful.
We were really honoured to be asked to be involved with this year's Zest Quest Asia (http://www.zestquestasia.com) by our friend and long-time customer Cyrus Todiwala. We supplied venison for the Shammi Kavaab at the events gala dinner (Shammi Kavaab- venison cooked with yellow split peas and spices, ground to a smooth paste, formed into patties, filled with chutney and pan-fried – now say you are not hungry!) and Cecilia, who was invited to the event, can vouch for all the superb food.
On the night Milton Keynes College pipped rivals Doncaster College, University College Birmingham, University of West London, and former champions, Farnborough College and Westminster Kingsway College following a cook-off held at Mr Todiwala's Kitchen, the signature restaurant of the Hilton London Heathrow T5. All 6 colleges did so well to get to the final as the competition was very stiff. Congratulations to them all!
The winning entry from Milton Keynes College
We were also a happy contributor to Merlin Labron-Johnson's residence at Patty and Bun (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/patty-bun-residence-with-merlin-labron-johnson-portland-restaurant-tickets-19906993353) to raise funds for the refugee charity 'Calais Kitchen'. This amazing group of people provide free food to thousands of starving refugees in Calais every day and any help is gratefully received.

As customers know, we release our updated standard price list on 1st September and then we try our very best to keep to those prices for a full year so people know where they are with us. This control and longer term view is one of the advantages of having so much of our business on-farm from start to finish.

Has someone broken a promise that was made to you? That's another way of saying that someone has breached their contractural obligations. If the broken promise is serious enough, you can sue the other side for damages. This is called "breach of contract."
Contracts are essentially lists of mutual promises. Enforceable contracts can be made orally, or more typically, in writing. Written contracts are easier to litigate because the terms are easier to prove to the court. The terms of an oral contract are often a matter of "he said, she said." Nonetheless, lawsuits over oral agreements can be just as successful as litigation over written contracts.
There can be substantial harm if a promise is broken. This what we can "damages" in the legal profession. If the damages are large enough and the other side is not willing to make things right, an aggrieved party can file a lawsuit to seek the recovery of their damages.
There are several important things to consider before a person makes a decision to file a breach of contract lawsuit.
A breach of contract lawsuit must be filed with the court within a certain amount of time after the breach occurred. Waiting too long means that you lose your rights to seek damages in court.
A litigant pursuing a breach of contract lawsuit must prove his or her damages to the court. A litigant just doesn't get to make up a number. I often deal with potential clients that have clearly been wronged by a breach of contract, but have a difficult time proving their specific damages. If you are going to go through the expensive process of litigation, it makes sense to nail down your recoverable damages before filing the lawsuit.
The Defendant
Does the defendant or defendants have assets or insurance coverage? If they don't, you might be chasing an empty judgement. The ultimate goal in litigation isn't necessarily to be deemed in the "right," but to obtain a recovery of money to compensate you for your damages. Chasing a broke defendant for years can be disastrous in the end.
Plaintiff's Actions
Not everybody involved in litigation is squeaky-clean themselves. Did you do something that may have excused the other side's performance of their contractual obligations? You can bet that the defendant to a contract lawsuit is going to drag the you through the mud to try to excuse their own actions. This isn't always successful, but it is important that you are candid with your attorney regarding your own actions to get ahead of any potential issues.
My law practice accepts breach of contract cases for defendants and select plaintiff's cases. Please contact me directly at (916) 333-2222 to discuss your specific contract legal issues.

Solar screens save both electricity and money. They are a major attribute to the frugal aficionados who would like to cut costs on their electric bill. Also they add wonderful aesthetics to a home, leaving the windows will cool clean lines and shady. Despite the grandeur looks and clean lines solar screens will give your home, they come with a special attribute which rewards you will electric bill savings.
Solar screens work by providing shade over your existing windows. This shading has an incredible amount of importance to prevent the greenhouse effect on your home. Since a window generates 230 BTUs (British thermal units) per square foot, it is fair to say that a 3x5 window can produce 3450 BTUs. This is the equivalent of running 2 small space heaters at once! The solar screens will block up to 90% of the sunlight, thus reducing the amount of BTUs which will enter your home through windows. It is important to calculate the amount of square footage of windows that you have in your home, and when the sunlight is hitting them, in order to know the amount of BTUs that are entering your home.
In the summer as the sun pelts a home's windows causing the greenhouse effect, the heat generated is immense. This heat will have to be countered by a home's air conditioning system. The central air conditioner or window units will have to work very hard to compensate for the heat generated by the greenhouse effect from a window. A window that has a 90% solar screen cover will reflect 90% of the greenhouse effect. This will in turn reduce the greenhouse BTU heat generated by the sunlight. Since the windows are not dumping a tremendous amount of heat into the home, the air conditioner will be allowed to cycle less in order to keep a home comfortable. This of course means that the air conditioner will be running less, thus consuming much less energy.
The solar screens will also not interfere much with the visibility of the window. Many homeowners who have solar screens on their windows report that the visibility is not impeded much at all, if any. Some people do claim that the solar screens on their home impede slightly on natural lighting, but the benefits far outweigh this setback.

Overdone: How Surrendering One Thing is Making My Season Brighter
I sat down a few weeks ago, planning to write a story about thankfulness, to be posted in time for Thanksgiving. I was looking forward to writing it because thankfulness (being more thankful) is something I've been working on lately. I thought I'd mention the gratitude journal I've been keeping and how I'm nudging myself to look for the "up" side of every situation. (To be honest, I can't always find an "up" side, but I keep trying!) I wanted to write about how thankfulness has made me a happier person. I thought a thankfulness story would fly onto the keyboard.
It didn't.
Instead, I found my mind straying to the next story I wanted to write—the one that would talk about how I was dreading Christmas because of all the stress that precedes it, and how I recognize that there is something very wrong with this. I wanted to write about how the sound of Christmas carols—which should make me feel all warm and gooey and peaceful—instead creates a current of tension that begins at the base of my spine and travels all the way to my clenched teeth.
I get peculiar stray thoughts sometimes and as I was thinking about holiday stress, one of these odd thoughts popped into my head. I recalled a scene from a movie I once saw. A very stylish woman (played by Marilu Henner, I think) was giving advice to a less stylish woman. She loosely quoted Coco Chanel, saying that when you're getting ready to go out, after getting dressed you should look in the mirror and take off one accessory: a scarf, a bracelet, a belt, etc. That way you can be sure you'll never be overdone.
As is always the case with these seemingly random thoughts, my subconscious was trying to tell me something. It occurred to me that maybe if I "took off one accessory," i.e., discontinued one holiday task or tradition, it might make a huge difference to me. Perhaps I wouldn't end up being "overdone" by stress and I'd enjoy the holiday season more.
I thought about what I traditionally do in the weeks leading up to the holidays: baking, decorating, buying and wrapping gifts, doing some seasonal volunteer work, sending Christmas cards . . . uh oh! There it was—the thing that triggered all that tension. I thought about the fact that I've never enjoyed sending Christmas cards; that I've only ever sent them out of a sense of obligation. And that the satisfaction I get from seeing a stack of messaged, signed, stamped, addressed cards ready to go into the mail is minuscule compared to the amount of angst the whole process causes me.
As I considered the idea of discontinuing the Christmas card tradition, I felt guilty—like I didn't have the right to stop. Wouldn't I feel awful when other people's cards arrived in my mailbox? Wouldn't they feel cheated if they sent my family a card but didn't get one in return? Wouldn't it make me look and feel like a slacker?
My daughters (my best therapists!) talked sense into me. "Mom," they said, "Christmas cards are optional; you can stop sending them if you want to. Other people probably won't notice or won't care. Maybe other people would like to stop sending cards, too, and they'll feel relieved not to get one from you."
It was still a hard decision to make for a "people-pleaser" like me, but I suddenly envisioned my daughters in the future, dutifully writing out holiday cards because I'd taught them it was a social responsibility. I envisioned them hunched over a pile of card-writing supplies, anxious and unhappy, fretting over their handwriting—already dreading the next year's batch of cards even as the current year's cards went into the mailbox. In an instant, my decision was made simple. The traditions I want to pass to my daughters and their future families are traditions of joy, not traditions based on what any other family does, or buys, or bakes, or puts under the tree or in the mail. I want to pass to them the freedom to make new traditions whenever they want to—like having hot dogs for Christmas dinner or spending all their gift-giving money to send goats to a poor village somewhere—if that's what will bring them joy.
I've told several people of my momentous decision and now I've put it in print, so it's a "done deal." Each time I tell someone, I feel a little lighter, a little happier and a little more free. Apparently, card writing was the straw each year that broke this camel's back; without it, my December to-do list seems manageable—even enjoyable!
Maybe you actually like sending Christmas cards: good for you! But maybe there's something else that sends you over the holiday stress precipice . . . like baking cookies for everyone you know, or competing with your neighbors for the best Christmas lights display ever, or running up credit card debt that still won't be paid off when Christmas rolls around again next year.
Why not join me in taking a style tip from Marilu and Coco? Look in the mirror, identify something that isn't becoming on you, and set it aside. Be underdone for a change. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe you'll find that sometimes, less really is more.

Letters to the editor
Pelosi and what she knew
Apparently a number of your letter writers feel that we should focus on the "torture" itself and not focus on what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remembers being told by the CIA back in 2002-2003.
In my opinion, they are missing the point. Either she and other prominent members of Congress (Democrat and Republican) were given a full accounting of what our enhanced interrogation practices were at that time or they weren't. Her fudging and changing of stories is clearly an attempt to cover the truth that she (and they) knew what was going on.
According to three reputable CIA operatives including the CIA director, Democrat Leon Panetta, the records are clear that indeed they were informed in full.
If that is the case, and no Democrats objected or questioned our interrogation techniques at that time, what right do they now have to accuse former President George W. Bush of illegally "torturing" enemy combatants?
It is clearly a political move on the part of the Democrats to discredit the Bush regime. If they agreed with the interrogation techniques, they can't just change their minds as it politically suits them.
NANCY DEUSSEN Palo Alto
Pelosi vs. the CIA
Why, everyone knows the CIA was created for the express purpose of telling the truth and promoting fair play. What could Nancy Pelosi have been thinking?
STEVEN McNICHOLS San Francisco
Awkward moments
What a laugh every time I read a letter to The Chronicle from another member of the Nancy Pelosi fan club. Do these people drink nothing but Kool-Aid? Their heroine, with her public sniping and whining, now has herself between a rock, CIA director Leon Panetta, and a hard place, President Obama, who can afford no more awkward moments courtesy of Ms. Truth Commission.
So who makes the cut when Obama must choose who goes and who stays? Bet on Panetta.
STAN DeVAUGHN Los Altos
Stand your ground
Republicans seem to be smelling blood in regards to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the CIA, waterboarding and lying.
Their calls for her resignation should cease. If I recall, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were also accused of lying, and their resignations were also demanded. They insist to this day that they did not tell any lies. Talk about the pot calling the kettle ...
The CIA must come clean and declassify those briefings. In the meantime, Pelosi should stand firm in her resolve.
TOM HUBBARD San Francisco
Focus on Abu Ghraib
All the flak about what Nancy Pelosi knew about the CIA briefing misses the point. Just after 9/11, anyone in Congress who refused to yield discretionary powers to the executive over interrogation techniques would have been lambasted by the proponents of "enhanced interrogation."
Pelosi would be well advised to make Abu Ghraib the issue and not Guantanamo. That is where the results of the Bush administration's policy really built up recruits for al Qaeda and, with a thorough congressional investigation, the trail would lead right to Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.
BOB HERRSCHAFT Sonoma
Danger on West Bank
I am pleased to see that President Obama has sufficiently abandoned servility to tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel should freeze its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank as a first step toward a two-state solution to the bleeding ulcer that is historic Palestine ("Netanyahu, Obama differ on peace plan," May 19).
But what about the exclusive roads and the existing colonies filled with settlers who regard the Palestinians as subhuman interlopers on "their" land and who treat them accordingly?
An honest map of the West Bank resembles a liver progressively rotted by cirrhosis. Until Israeli colonizers leave, what they have already built will continue to endanger the national security of the United States as well as Israel itself.
Department of Geography, UC Berkeley
Government crutch
"Families get paid $2,000 a year to improve" (May 21):
What a horrendous waste of limited public monies. Are their self-esteems so low that only government prodding and incentives can motivate them?
Sustained stimulation of self-worth comes from within. What happens when these people face the real-world challenge of colleges and workplaces when they do not have the crutch of government incentives? Are they doomed to failure or will they be the countless faces that must sue to gain their "rights" to government handouts to succeed?
ROBERT JUNG San Francisco
No budget? No pay
Proposition 1F does not go far enough when it forbids pay raises for legislators when there is a deficit. What should occur is what I call no budget, no pay. Simply put, when a state budget is not passed on time, legislators do not receive pay of any kind, including per diem. If the only way to get the legislators' attention is to withhold their pay, that is the way it should be.
Guns, gays and hypocrisy
I find it curious that the National Rifle Association members would support concealed and loaded guns in our national parks, just because they can and want all places to allow them.
Aren't these the same people who so loudly oppose gays from expanding their agenda - just because they can and want all places to allow them?
Is there any hypocrisy here?
Groveland, Tuolumne County
Adam vs. Kris - an American outrage
I feel that the American Idol should have been Adam Lambert ("Shocker! Allen wins 'American Idol,' " May 21). I feel he was discriminated against because he is possibly gay, just like Clay Aiken.
Fantasia Barrino also was being discriminated against, because she was a uneducated unwed mother, to the point they tried to get her to quit. Even though she won it, her education should not have been brought up; it should have been based on talent only.
Kris Allen is a good singer, but he did not outdo Adam Lambert, not even close. Just watch and see who sails to the top and how fast.
Go, Adam Lambert! You are my American Idol.
