Well,the contract has been signed.I've been with this company
since 2007 and they have been fantastic.My sixth book of fourteen
short science fiction stories like The Twilight Zone was something I
was experimenting with. I have been getting good reviews on them.I
went with another company for that book. While I was out promoting
Strange Tales Of The Unknown I had finished with my seventh science
fiction novel called Out There. I was turned down by so many publishers
because they were only interested in the authors they already have or
they were not interested in my type of story.
I decided to go into film.Since I've been writing screenplays I asked
myself, "Why am I sitting around waiting to be discovered in the film
industry?" That's when I decided to produce and direct my own film.
I have friends signing up.I have equipment arriving by UPS and Federal
Express. I'm on the internet getting ideas from the professionals.
Production will start in the spring.
Now while i'm getting all of that ready I get an email saying my
manuscript ( Out There )will be considered for a contract to be published.
That's how God works. I sent my autobiography in,my photo for the book
cover and my synopsis for the back of the book. This is the first book
that I have written that has almost 600 pages of pure sci/fi entertainment
for your enjoyment.I'll keep you all posted on my blog.Thank you and
have a happy holliday.
Sincerely
Kevin Doy Burton

Book Deal has been signed electronically
Well,the contract has been signed and sent in electronically. Now I
better find a photographer for my book cover.As for my film,equipment
has been ordered,like a film clapper,green screen,lights,light stands,chairs,ect.
The magic of film making is very interesting,especially the CGI effects,and my
actors are still signing on.I have their scripts in my suitcase. The adrenaline is
speeding up my heart contractions.What a rush.
With everything else God is blessing me with, all I need next is an invester.
Some people say to me, "You're going to have to spend lots of money to
tackle the project of making a movie." I say," Really,i'm just going to have some
fun doing it.Who knows what will happen along the way,but i'm not going to let
the fear of money stop me." You see? Fear is a negative force.Happiness is the
positive force that let the goodness into your life.Anyway,that's all I have to say
now. But one more thing. To the people in other countries who are reading my
blog,thank you. I've been tracking my blog and i'm getting quite an audience.I
appreciate it very much and please,spread the word.Happy Hollidays to you
all.

Why All Women Should Be Treated Like Queens
This is my feeling and my feeling alone. All women should be treated like queens because they hold the fate of the human race in their hands. The reason is this. If all women feel that they are not treated right all over the world and they decided to not have sex for the next 100 years then that would be the end of mankind.Therefore women hold the power of the fate of mankind in their hands. Man should understand this.Man should be grateful that women even want to deal with us for what we have done to them around the world. Every man loves to have sex and that gives us strength to carry on. What if one day all of the women decides to just say NO MORE.We are tired of getting less pay than men. We are tired of being sex slaves.We are tired of wearing less garments on commercials to help sale cars just because men likes to see us naked.We are tire of not being the next woman president.We are tired of trying to do our part in the military but instead we are being raped and then it gets covered up.We are tired of the courts treating us like we are responsible for ourselves being raped by men because of the way we dress yet man can dress any way they want. We're just tired.
Sometimes I just feel ashamed to be a part of the man gender but I am what God had made me to be. I will say to all of the women around the world. I do appreciate you and you are queens in my book and my world. Thank you all for keeping the human race alive.

How to float like a stone
What goes up no longer has to come down. British scientists have developed an antigravity machine that can float heavy stones, coins and lumps of metal in mid-air. Based around a powerful magnet, the device levitates objects in a similar way to how a maglev train runs above its tracks.
Peter King, a physics professor at Nottingham University, said: "We can take an object and float it in mid-air because the magnetic forces on the object are enough to balance gravity."
The device exploits diamagnetism. Place non-magnetic objects inside a strong enough magnetic field and they are forced to act like weak magnets themselves. Generate a field that is stronger below and weaker above, and the resulting upward magnetic force cancels out gravity.
Scientists have used diamagnetism to make wood, strawberries and, famously, a living frog fly. "That force is strong enough to float things with a density similar to water, but not things with the density of rocks," Prof King said. To make their machine more powerful, the team added an oxygen and nitrogen mixture, a paramagnetic fluid. Inside the magnet, the mixture helps objects to float.
The researchers, who announce their results today in the New Journal of Physics, are working with Rio Tinto to develop the technique to sort precious stones from soil. The US space agency Nasa is also interested as it offers a cheaper way for zero gravity research.
