“Two Angel Wings" is the story of a my journey through Harrington Rod surgery for severe scoliosis. The book was written by my mother, Arlene Webster and is dedicated to my best friend Stephanie Stanich. Steph was there every step of the way and although she is no longer with us, (she was one of the flight attendants killed in the Eastern Airlines flight 401 crash in the Everglades in 1972) she always was and always will be my best friend.
I was fortunate enough have the book published before my mom passed away from Alzheimer’s. I placed it in her hands and she knew that it was finally in print. My intent at the time was to publish it for her, but now that friends and family have read it and have told me how much they enjoyed it, I would like to start sharing it with others.

Hasanuddin The Dominium -- A revolutionary scientific model 0 Jan 18 2008, 4:53 PM EST by Hasanuddin

Please advise. I am the authors of a new work, The Dominium, which has been contraversal since the moment it became public a month ago. Whether it is science fiction or science fact is an open question that even I cannot conclusively answer. The ultimate classification of this work is yet to be determined, though it is officially registered under both designations with the official ISBN agency.

The debate concerning the science of this new book has been raging on my Scientific American community blog since it began on Dec 14th { http://science-community.sciam.com/forum.jspa?forumID=300005039 }. Though detractors immediately began to attack this new theory (even before they had read any of it) instead of finding flaws with the new work, they ended up supplying evidence that had not been included in the first edition. A week after debate began on Scientific American, I posted links to access a free download of the abridged half-version of the book. Within 24hrs, the SciAm blogs were offline. If anyone tried to access any of the different blogs a message appeared: “System error – file missing.” On Dec 26th, the blogs had been repaired and I posted an article outlining why malicious cyber-attack was likely. The motive: to silence a discussion that the establishment was losing. More articles followed, as did unsuccessful attempts to find fault with the new model. On Jan 2nd and 3rd, the site that housed the free download was hacked into, the free version was deleted, and porn was posted throughout the vandalized site.

In terms of science fiction, this book is packed with all the materials of a thriller: pending apocalypse, a scientific establishment blinded by greed and lust, and Biblical omens. Terrifyingly, if this new model is correct, then the doomsday sequence projected would parallel biblical descriptions of the End: fire, brimstone, being dragged down to Hell.

Please advise: How can I best get this "out there?"
