Another Book on King Khan
Website: http://www.zoomtv.in
Most book launches aren’t exactly what we call star studded events. But this one was sparkling with the brightest of stars. Anupama Chopra launched her book, a biography on Shahrukh Khan.
Many a books have been written on King Khan as a result of which there seemed to be a need for one authoritative book and going by the response of the stars, it seemed like this was the one.

The Title of a Sci-Fi Book?
I read this book several years ago, but I have long since forgotten the Title and the author. What happens in the plot is the family in the story is traveling to a new colony far in outer space. Since the journey will take such a long time, the family goes into statsis pods so that they can sleep the journey away without aging. However, something goes wrong with the young sons pod a few years after launch and he wakes up. He has no way of going back to sleep, nor can he wake up his family. So he ends up having to live on the spaceship alone while his family sleeps. Around 60-70 years later the rest of the family wake to find there "young boy" is now a very old man. Has anyone else ever read this book or have any idea of the author/title? I want to find out mostly for nostalgia’s sake.
Sleepers, wake by Paul Samuel Jacob.
From bn.com:
School Library Journal
Gr 5-6– Halfway through a century-long colony ship’s flight to a distant star, nine-or-so-year-old Dody is awakened early from suspended animation by a computer glitch. Jacobs takes this intriguing idea and buries it in an aimless muddle of predictable plot, wooden characters, and poor science. After no less than 50 years of solitude, during which he has read every book on board, learned to pilot the ship and play the organ (but not reprogram the computer), Dody, physically an old man, mentally a child, charges off with his newly awakened “older” brother and sister to explore an unknown planet.
I liked it.
How should true patriots reclaim the media from Republican/Fascist interests?

) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

4.) Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

6.) Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

9.) Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
The K Street Project is a project by the Republican party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials. It was launched in 1995, by Republican strategist Grover Norquist and House majority leader Tom DeLay.

10.) Labor Power is Suppressed: Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
Labor Department warns unions against using their money politically
President Bush Attacks Organized Labor: Bush attacked organized labor Saturday, issuing orders effectively reducing how much money unions can spend for political activities and opening up government contracts to non-union bidding.

11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations

13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

This picture is what stopped the ballot recounts in Florida shortly after it seemed that legitimate President Gore had a lead. The "citizens" started what was later called "the preppy riot". Screaming, yelling, pounding on the walls, these "outraged citizens" intimidated the polling officials to halt the court mandated recount. A closer look reveals who they really were. They were bussed and flown in at Republican lawmakers expense. Some even flew in on Tom Delay’s private plane.

Some type of invasion from the Mexican border- not sure if UFOs or what. The navy seal survives and begins a journey to Montana, collecting supplies and survivors along the way. The Seal creates a new society in a compound in Montana; they perform patrols etc until one of the patrol units does not return. Then the Seal launches an attack but the men were in a town populated with women….. Anyone familiar with this series?
try asking at www.whatsthatbook.com or www.auntbook.com hopefully someone there will recognise this series
what do you think of this extract from my book – every-body’s expert opinion needed and appreciated?
(this is the latest extract from my book – would really appreciate the feedback – its only the first draft so i realise there might be a few punctuation issues)
Reaching the coffee shop I cant see her sitting outside. A few people try and come up to me but I have to tell them no. I poke my head inside and see her. Taking a deep breath I walk up to her, she looks up at me as she takes her coffee. I stop walking making sure I’m out of reach if she throws it at me.
Looking into her sad big brown eyes I softly say
“Hey, you alright”
Looking down at her coffee she shakes her head,
I say
“No, I didn’t think you were”
The guy behind the counter passes me a coffee as Lexi starts to walk outside. Taking the coffee I follow her out, we sit on one of the tables, she sits opposite me. A few people start to approach me but I shake my head at them. The sun is shining down so Lexi goes to put her shades on but I stop her saying
“Don’t – I wanna see your eyes, I need to see the truth”
“About what?”
“Are you happy. With this, with us, our relationship?”
She doesn’t answer for a second then says
“I’m happy with being with you, but not the way things are heading. I hate arguing with you all the time”
I nod my head but tell her
“But you’re the one that starts the arguments”
“Because you give me reason to”
In defiance I say
“What reason! I don’t have to do anything for you to go off on one – like last night”
“No reason! How bout you wanted to spend time with one of your ex girlfriends rather than me!”
I start laughing in disbelief
“See we cant even talk without arguing – and to answer your question, if you have already forgotten, it was Jodie’s launch night. And I wanted to have a laugh, because we have forgotten how to do that”
“So its my fault”
“Did I say that – but tell me when was the last time you laughed properly, when were you truly happy, when were we last messing about, making fun of each other, when were we spontaneous, all that’s just gone – like its been sucked away”
She shrugs her shoulders saying
“Truthfully – at the beginning of summer, ive not felt like myself since then, and ive tried to be the perfect girlfriend, ive tried to change for you”
“See that’s it, I don’t want you to change. I want that old Lexi, that’s the girl I fell for, she’s the one that’s my angel”
She softly mutters
“I don’t know where she has gone”
Taking her hand and holding it tight I say
“You know I reckon we jumped in at the deep end, too much too quickly. Look at us, we are independent, we like our own space, but we are practically living together. We are suffocating each other. We are doing exactly the same thing as I did with Hannah – we are too serious and I don’t want our relationship to end up the same way that did”
She pulls her hand away from me and asks
“So what do you suggest? We brake up”
Reaching in towards her, I put my hand on her hip shaking my head
“No I don’t wanna break up – but I think we should take a step back, turn it down a bit give each other some room to breath”
“Room to breath?”
“Yeah I think you’ve got lost in me and need to find yourself again, the old Lexi, well not the old, old Lexi”
She half lets out a little laugh,
“Lost in you – I like that, good to see your ego doesn’t need to be found”
“My ego aint going nowhere, but only the old Lexi knows how to keep it in check”
She bites her bottom lip stopping herself from laughing. She then suggests
“How about we do this…the next few days, you do your thing and I’ll do my thing, you go and have your fun I’ll have mine and if we still need time apart we take longer, but then when we get back, we do what you said we don’t live in each others pocket”
I nod my head in agreement
“Ok, so we having a mini break up”
“If you like, yeah, just to like you said rediscover ourselves”
I reach in and softly kiss her, she holds the back of my head pulling me tighter to her.
I slightly pull away and cheekily ask
“So are we gonna have some break up sex?”
She shakes her head and whispers
“No, your just gonna have to wait till we get back together!”
Taking the last gulp of her coffee she gathers her things together, she gives me one final kiss, puts her shades on and walks off. I watch her walk off then let the people that have been patiently waiting for me to sign their copy of the magazine come over.

Well it’s certainly better than most pieces i’ve read. However, I think for it to be brilliant, you need to bring in a few more images. For example, I was imagining it was cold until you spoke about the shades.
Perhaps, just in occasional places, insert a detail which wont detract from the story. You may be thinking that it’s better to build up the story and progress with that, but most of the time it isn’t. I don’t understand entirely where they are. How busy is the street? How noisy? How does the coffee taste? How often do they make eye contact? Small things which can makea big image.
But apart from that, you’ve got pretty much everything else right, and I really like this. Well done ^^
Best wishes =)
Is Evolutionism a Farce?
Evidently the three college professors who wrote to the Chattanooga "Free Press" are not well-read in the current literature. They seem to be where they were during their college days. Neighbor, those days are gone forever. Let me provide some up-to-date information that will help honest and inquiring minds make a judgment on the controversy of origins.
Only an uninformed fanatic says that evolution or creation can be proved scientifically. Christians believe in creationism because we believe in the veracity of the Bible but we also have scientific evidence to support our position.
In every debate I’ve had with evolutionary scientists, the arrogant, asinine accusation is made, "Well, evolution is scientific while creationism is religion." Evolution is about as scientific as a voodoo rooster plucking ceremony in Haiti. Almost.
Science means "to know" and "systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, etc." It is based on observation and experimentation. Evolutionists don’t "know" anything about man’s origins. They guess, suppose, etc. but they don’t "know." Honest scientists have become weary and embarrassed at the confusing, convoluted and contradictory claptrap that often passes as science. They have watched their colleagues rushing to protect Darwin rather than putting him to rigorous tests.
World famous scientist, G. G. Simpson stated, "It is inherent in any definition of science that statements that cannot be checked by observation are not about anything…or at the very best, they are not science."
Need I remind our readers of the many incredible mistakes made by evolutionists because of their faith: Haeckel’s recapitulation theory that only third-rate scientists believe; also the vestigial organ error; the failure of the fossil record (that no informed evolutionist uses to prove his position), etc.
Let me dwell on the fossil record since most people assume it is supportive of evolution. It is not.
Dr. David Kitts, professor of geology at the University of Oklahoma said, "Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them…." And Lord Zuckerman admitted there are no "fossil traces" of transformation from an ape-like creature to man! Even Stephen J. Gould of Harvard admitted, "The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change." I assume that all college professors know that Darwin admitted the same fact. (I also assume they know that Darwin was not trained as a scientist but for the ministry, so evolutionists are worshipping at the feet of an apostate preacher!)
Famous fossil expert, Niles Eldredge confessed, "…geologists have found rock layers of all divisions of the last 500 million years and no transitional forms were contained in them." Dr. Eldredge further said, "…no one has yet found any evidence of such transitional creatures."
All the alleged transitional fossils, that were so dear to the hearts of evolutionists a generation ago, are now an embarrassment to them. Breaks my heart. Archaeopteryx is now considered only a bird, not an intermediate fossil. The famous horse series that is still found in some textbooks and museums has been "discarded" and is considered a "phantom" and "illusion" because it is not proof of evolution. In fact, the first horse in the series is no longer thought to be a horse! And when a horse can’t be counted on being a horse then we’ve got trouble, real trouble right here in River City.
Concerning transitional fossils, world famous paleontologist Colin Patterson admitted that "there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument." Not one.
Surely it is not necessary for me to remind college professors that Piltdown Man was a total fraud and Nebraska Man turned out to be a pig, not an ape man! And in recent years we have discovered that Neanderthal Man was simply a man with rickets and arthritis, not the much desired "ape man." Need I go on? The truth is that only a fool says evolution is a fact compared to gravity, and to equate scientific creationists with flat earthers as many evolutionists do is outrageous irresponsibility.
Biologist, Dr. Pierre Grasse, considered the greatest living scientist in France, wrote a book to "launch a frontal assault on all forms of Darwinism." Grasse is not a religious fanatic, yet he called evolution a "pseudo-science."
Dr. Soren Lovtrup, Professor of Zoo-physiology at the University of Umea in Sweden wrote, "I suppose that nobody will deny that it is a great misfortune if an entire branch of science becomes addicted to a false theory. But this is what has happened in biology: for a long time now people discuss evolutionary problems in a peculiar ‘Darwinian’ vocabulary…thereby believing that they contribute to the explanation of natural events." He went on to say, "I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science." He also said, "Evolution is ‘anti-science.’" And so it is.
Do those who teach evolution know that scientists have characterized Darwinism as "speculation," based on faith," similar to theories of "little green men," "dead," "effectively dead," "very flimsy," "incoherent," and a "myth." Hey, with friends like that, evolutionists don’t need scientific creationists to hold their feet to the fire.
World known Swiss scientist Dr. A. E. Wilder-Smith (who recently died), with three earned doctorates in science and considered to be an expert by the United Nations, confessed after seeing the fossilized dinosaur tracks and men prints within inches of each other at Glen Rose, Texas, "…all this makes evolution impossible." And so it does.
I have assumed that the college professors are familiar with all the world famous scientists I have quoted above. All of them! If not, they are really uninformed, and should stay out of the evolution/creation discussion until they spend some time to bring themselves up to date.
So you see evolutionists are dishonest or uninformed when they suggest that creationists are backwoods, snake handling fanatics. In fact, over a thousand scientists with advanced degrees belong to one group that takes a stand for scientific creationism and against the guess of evolution.
The college professors were correct in stating that Darwin’s book does not deal with the origins of life even though its title was "Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life." So a book about origins does not deal with origins! Later Darwin suggested that life began in a warm little pond, but he never suggested where the pond came from! Most evolutionists teach that life started there also, but scientists have proved conclusively that spontaneous generation is impossible. So where did the first spark of life come from? You think maybe God was involved?
And would it be possible to remind everyone that Darwin and his followers were racists who believed that blacks were closer to the alleged ape men than whites? Thomas Huxley, Henry F. Osborne, Professor Edwin Conklin and others preached white superiority – because of their evolutionary bias. The haters for a hundred years after Darwin can be tied to Darwin starting with Nietzsche (who asserted that God was dead, called for the breeding of a master race and for the annihilation of millions of misfits), followed by Hitler, Mussolini, Marx, Engels, Stalin, etc. Evolutionary teachings have resulted in soaking the soil of Europe in innocent blood. After all, evolutionists tell us that man is only a little higher than the animals rather than a little lower than the angels as the Bible teaches, so what’s a few million lives to be concerned about?
I don’t have the space to deal with numerous problems that evolutionists have such as the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, origin of the universe, beginning of life from non-living matter, the Cambrian explosion, etc.
Evolution is a guess, a speculation, an hypothesis, a theory, a faith. Yes, evolution is a religion as I document in my book, "Evolution: Fact, Fraud or Faith?" And, since it is a faith, it should not be taught in public schools. At least, any thinking, honest person would agree that if it is, then scientific creationism should be taught along with it. After all, we do believe in balance and fairness, don’t we? Or do we?
It’s interesting that the hypocrites at the ACLU (who helped fund the Scopes Trial) whined in Dayton that only one theory of origins can legally be taught in Tennessee and that’s unfair. Well, now they are on the inside, and demand to keep the same monopoly that they argued against. When I asked the ACLU to support my bill in the Indiana House of Representatives that required Indiana schools to teach scientific creation and evolution equally, they refused to support my bill! Surprise, surprise, surprise. I thought various ideas should be presented to students so they could make up their own minds. Could it be that evolutionists are not as sure of their faith as they pretend to be? I think so. They are like a blind man in a dark basement looking for a black cat – that isn’t there.
