off the bombs with one shot.
James Baltierra.
Hint: "Rebel Attack" level: Power
In the trench chamber, the top right corner curves
inward. The x2 Score power brick is there.
Hint: Characters from the original Lego
Star Wars:
Have a saved game file (any or all characters unlocked)
from the original Lego Star Wars on your hard drive. Load
the game, go to the shop, and buy the "Use Old Save"
in the Extras section for 250,000 studs. Then, pause game play,
go to the "Extras" menu and turn on "Use Old Save".
Then, replay any level in Free Play mode. All the characters from
Lego Star Wars (and the unlocked ones from Lego Star
Wars 2) will be available. and you can use them to play in
Free Play mode. This very helpful in order to collect all the
Lego canisters.
Hint: Play as Santa Claus:
Enter the CL4U5H and TYH319 at the Mos
Eisley cantina. Select the "Character Customizer" option,
then choose a human head, the Santa hat, white beard, and red
clothes. After choosing a red or green lightsaber, enter the "Extras"
menu and activate "Disguise 3" for the glasses.
Hint: Play as hooded Anakin Skywalker from
Star Wars: Episode 3 in Free Play mode:
Start the game, then go to the two test tubes in the
corner. Customize the first or second tube, then use these specific
parts in order: black hood, Luke's head without the hair, black
Jedi body, black arms, black or white hands, black legs, black
belt, black cape, and red or blue blade lightsaber.
Hint: Gamorremean guard air guitar:
When playing as the Gamorrenean guard, hold X
to see him using his axe as a guitar.
Hint: Easy studs:
Play Chapter 1 of Episode IV: A New Hope. Destroy all
of the little panels that a Force user can open. You can also
go through the Bounty Hunter or Stormtrooper doors and use the
Force on all of the little panels on the wall. Another way is
to go through the door that can only be opened with a Sith (for
example, as Darth Vader). Then, use the 2x Score Multiplier to
your advantage.
Sam Wilson.
Play as a Bounty Hunter (Boba Fett, 4-LOM, Greedo, etc.) at the
Mos Eisley Cantina. Enter any mission. Character bonuses are recommended.
Immediately when the mission loads, pause game play and return
to the cantina. Once there, go to the outskirts of the cantina
and destroy every trash can, ship piece, and platinum object you
see with your bounty hunter's blaster and/or thermal detonators.
Collect every stud possible. After you have destroyed everything,
you can repeat the process as many times as desired. This is a
quick and easy way to get at least 20,000 to 30,000 studs each
Go to the Mos Eisley Spaceport in Episode IV: A New Hope. Walk
up the stairs on the right. keep killing yourself. When you collect
the studs you will get twice as much back.
Collect a fair amount of studs. Go to a special area where the
studs you collect are x2 (for example, Episode IV Chapter 3 in
the cinema). When you get there, turn off all of your "Extras".
Drop in you second player (if not already on) and attack the player
with all of the studs. On the fourth hit, the player will die
and release studs. At this point pause game play. Turn on any
stud multipliers you have in the "Extras" menu. Resume
the game, then collect the studs dropped by the killed player.
They will compound with the x2 of the area. For example, studs
x2 (from the area) x2 (from "Extras" menu) x4 (from
"Extras" menu) for a total of x16. Turn off the "Extras"
and repeat as desired.
Go to a chapter that you have already completed. Do it again in
Free Play mode The Secret Plans (Episode IV, Chapter 1) with Darth
Maul as your main character is recommended, because he can open
doors that Ben Kenobi cannot. This allows you to access areas
full of wealth, minikits, etc. If you scour this stage from top
to bottom you can get over 130,000 studs. Repeat this as desired.
Note: Destroying containers of any sort and opening drawers using
the Force will dramatically add to your stud count.
Funkmaster Andy.
Go to Chapter 3 of Episode IV on Free Play mode. Make sure you
have a Sith character and break everything.
Anai Daleal.
When you go outside, get a bounty hunter and blow up everything.
You will get 30,000 studs each time. Continue doing this as many
times as desired.
Brandon F.
Note: There is limit of 4 billion studs. You can still play through
the levels and collect studs, but the total will still remain
the same.
Go through the Escape From Echo Base level and open every door
and go everywhere possible. You can get at least 120,000 studs
every time.
Hint: Staying alive in a firefight:
If you are vastly outnumbered with Stormtroopers blasting
left, right and center and you have R2-D2 in your party, use the
following trick. First, make R2 your active character. Enemies
will never shoot at a droid. Then, push the Stormtroopers closer
to your friends then zap them with R2's electric prod type weapon.
They will promptly stop shooting and rub their sore spot. Quickly
switch to a member which has a piece that can do damage (for example,
Han Solo or Luke Skywalker). Shoot the Stormtrooper while he is
nursing his laser burn. After he is killed, make R2 your active
character and repeat the process until you are victorious.
Funkmaster Andy.
Hint: Defeating the Rancor at Jabba's palace:
Use R2-D2 on the pad under the pipe to let a pig guard
out. The Rancor will grab it and sit in an alcove next to a bomb.
Blow up the bomb to hurt it Do this one more time then let another
guard out. The Rancor will take his new snack into his cage. Use
R2-D2 to close the gate.
Hint: Bounty Hunter locations:
R2D2 (Mission 1): Enter the Bounty Hunter area. Keep going forward,
then stop when you get to a wall. Enter both holes at the side
of the wall. Legos will fly out. Build it into a doorway. Inside
is R2D2.
Obi-Wan (Mission 2): 4-lom can open any door. Take him to the
lift where the R2D2 control panel is located. Open it and go up
the lift. Pull the levers after walking on the foot marks and
enter the next room. Use the control panel again and go through
to the last room. Obi-Wan is on the right. Smash through the boxes
and he will be standing in the small doorway.
Admiral Ackbar: IG-88 can open any door. Go to the panel to the
left and open the door. Then, use your thermal detonators to blow
up the wall of junk. Next, build the thing next to the chamber.
Ackbar should be inside.
Dana Hughes.
Hint: Breakdancing:
To make your character breakdance, have a character
who can double-jump (Bespin Guard recommended) then roll around
while tapping A.
Glitch: Use vehicles as droids:
Enter any mission with vehicles in Free Play mode.
Turn on "Self-Destruct" in the "Extras" menu.
Press Y to jump into the vehicle, then jump out again.
While flying in the air switch to the droid by using L
or R then use X to detonate. When you respawn you
should be a droid in the vehicle. Note: It is best to select a
humanoid character in the line up nearest the droid when entering
the vehicle. This also works for animals.
Mark Ahrens.
Glitch: Invincible fall:
Go to Jedi Destiny and enter the room that is completely
red. Go to where the turning wheel is in the center then run directly
at the screen. Eventually you will phase through the floor and
make the noise heard when a character dies, but you will not lose
any studs. You will re-spawn where you fell, but will not fall
through again until you go to the center and run at the screen
again. You can do this as many times as desired.
Glitch: Discovery On Kamino: Lights turn
off and on:
Follow the alien until you get to the hallway where
R4 has to open the door. Open it. The lights are normal, and so
is everything else. Take two steps to the left. Then, take one
step down. It will look as if the lights have gone off. It will
remain this way if you take two or three more steps. When you
walk towards the room that Jango Fett is in, they will come back
Glitch: Speeder Showdown: Invincible:
When you are chasing the Stormtroopers on speeders,
leave one. Then, shoot and destroy it, but crash into a tree after
shooting the last stormtrooper on the first chase. Your hearts
should be dimmed, indicating that your health is gone and have
died, but you will still be alive when you get off. If you get
shot during this period, you still will not die.

This study assesses the sensitivity of the fully coupled NCAR-DOE PCM to three different representations of present-day land cover, based on IPCC SRES land cover information. We conclude that there is significant model sensitivity to current land cover characterization, with an observed average global temperature range of 0.21 K between the simulations. Much larger contrasts (up to 5 K) are found on the regional scale; however, these changes are largely offsetting on the global scale. These results show that significant biases can be introduced when outside data sources are used to conduct anthropogenic land cover change experiments in GCMs that have been calibrated to their own representation of present-day land cover. We conclude that hybrid systems that combine the natural vegetation from the native GCM datasets combined with human land cover information from other sources are best for simulating such impacts. We also performed a prehuman simulation, which had a 0.39 K ~higher average global temperature and, perhaps of greater importance, temperature changes regionally of about 2 K. In this study, the larger regional changes coincide with large-scale agricultural areas. The initial cooling from energy balance changes appear to create feedbacks that intensify mid-latitude circulation features and weaken the summer monsoon circulation over Asia, leading to further cooling. From these results, we conclude that land cover change plays a significant role in anthropogenically forced climate change. Because these changes coincide with regions of the highest human population this climate impact could have a disproportionate impact on human systems. Therefore, it is important that land cover change be included in past and future climate change simulations.

Very Loud!

Comments about GE 10,400 BTU 9.8 EER 115V Wall Air Conditioner:
I have this unit installed in the bedroom. Its so loud I can't sleep with it running. Also, it does not have an "economy" setting, so once its on, it runs until you turn it off. I'm very sorry I bought it but don't want to replace it because it was quite expensive.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I spent time in my gardens yesterday.� All of my gardening muscles are saying, �Wait a minute, didn�t you say you work out?� What the heck? We�re hurting here!�� I guess 4 hours of squats might be a little bit more than I normally do in one day.� Shoveling, digging, pulling weeds, putting baby plants in the ground, I tend to lose track of time.� I tend to lose track of muscles.� I tend to lose track of everything but the fun I am having designing my garden for the year.� Today, I will be reminded of that fun.� All. Day. Long.� Every time I move, in fact.� It�s all worth it!
Today I will not be in the garden.� Instead, I will be at fun life events happening for family and friends, a bridal shower and a graduation.� Cards are ready, event clothes are ready, I even got my nails done after my day in the dirt yesterday.� A different kind of fun to be had.
Speaking of fun, actually funny, we were sitting at the dinner table discussing the use of LOL in texts and IM�s. We were educated by my daughters. Apparently LOL has lost its meaning!� Apparently those of us still using it (yes, hand raised) are WAY behind the times.� Apparently we are supposed to be using haha instead.� Well ok, I can use haha.� Apparently, there are gradations of haha, as follows:
Haha = mildly amusing
Hahaha = a little more amusing
Hahahaha= really quite funny, and yes I am laughing
Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = Rolling on the floor laughing.
Guess I better get with the times, and get my haha�s right from now on!� Do you have your haha�s in order?

Publishers Marketplace reports by way of an announcement that soon enough, everyone will be able to make their own General Tso's tofu with edamame mayo at home, not to mention the gonzo salami sandwich known as "The Godfather Part II." The book, to be edited by Francis Lam at Clarkson Potter, will also include "humorous rants about sandwich philosophy, love, self-loathing, Lil' Wayne, Tom Cruise, and the life of a chef."

This thesis discusses the pastoral care worker role as defined by Schools Outreach. Schools Outreach is a charitable Christian organisation who recruit, train and manage the provision of pastoral support in selected schools. The research aims to explore perceptions of the role in two junior schools and the extent to which the interventions of the pastoral care workers are successful. The research methods chosen include interviews, questionnaires, dairy entries and observations. The roles of the two pastoral care workers are researched as are the effectiveness of some of the programmes and activities they are involved with. Findings from the research are considered in the light of proposed national developments in multi-agency work. The author believes that issues encountered during this research are fundamental to the involvement of support services in schools.

Cases of advanced breast cancer inching up in young women

More young women are being diagnosed with advanced, metastatic breast cancer than were three decades ago, according to a US study, with the metastatic breast cancer rate in particular rising about two percent each year.
Yet the overall rate of cancers in that group is still small. One in 173 women will develop breast cancer before she turns 40, said researchers whose report appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association - but the prognosis tends to be worse for younger patients.
The study, led by Rebecca Johnson at Seattle Children's Hospital and University of Washington, found that the rate of metastatic breast cancer in particular rose about two percent each year between 1976 and 2009 among younger women.
"We think that the likelihood is that since this change has been so marked over just a couple of decades, that it's something external, a modifiable lifestyle-related risk factor or perhaps an environmental toxic exposure, but we don't know what," Johnson said.
One possibility is that overeating and lack of exercise are driving up early-life metastatic breast cancer rates, Johnson added. Or, the use of hormonal birth control could play a role, she said.
But Johnson also pushed for more research into the potential effects of hormones in meat or plastic in bottles, for example.
Johnson's team analyzed data from cancer registries run by the National Cancer Institute. As expected, they found that the number of early breast cancer diagnoses increased among middle-aged and older women during the study period, likely due to widespread screening.
The only other change in cancer incidence was among the youngest women, between ages 25 and 39. In that group, the number of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer - which has spread to the bones, brain or lungs - rose from one in 65,000 in 1976 to one in 34,000 in 2009.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Yaoi manga is a niche genre, but like all niche genres, it has a devoted following. Yaoi readers gobble up the books like romance fans read Harlequin novels, which is not surprising as they are basically the same thing, except that yaoi 1) is manga, 2) is a love story between two men, and 3) often includes lots of sex.
It's hard to know whether number 2 or 3 above is responsible, but Amazon has instructed at least one publisher to remove its yaoi books from the Kindle store, while allowing considerably more explicit male-female titles to remain. Digital Manga Publishing, which puts out several lines of yaoi, ranging from the fairly tame June imprint to the pretty steamy 801, posted this notice on its blog yesterday:
Recently Amazon has become more strict in enforcing their content requirements for ebooks. Several DMP books that have been available online since 2009 are getting the axe, beginning with our 801 Media titles like Weekend Lovers and King of Debt. However, in the last few days the issue has spread to the June imprint by Amazon's refusal of The Selfish Demon King, and the removal of The Color of Love from the Kindle store. We fear that Amazon may target more of our books for removal so we're warning all Amazon Kindle store users that providing you with our content may become more difficult in the future. However, if you purchase our ebooks before Amazon decides to remove it from their store you will still be able to access the book from your account.
All the books mentioned are already gone from the Kindle store, and several are missing from Amazon's print book selection as well.
(Warning: NSFW image below.)
I looked at the linked content requirements and didn't see anything addressing explicit sex, but someone at Amazon's yaoi forum pulled this out of their guidelines:
Pornography and hard-core material that depicts graphic sexual acts.
Offensive Material
What we deem offensive is probably about what you would expect. Amazon Digital Services, Inc. reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of Titles sold on our site."
I'm going to confess right here that I haven't read any of the manga we are discussing. It's just not my thing. But fortunately, lots of other people do read them. Here's Julie Opipari, a longtime manga reader, writing about one of the pulled manga, The Color of Love:
The sex, like the rest of The Color of Love, was understated and almost gentle as the couples expressed their deep affections for each other. While there are panels of entwined couples, there's hardly even a fleeting glimpse of muscled buttocks here. Drats.
In fact, all the reviews I checked described the book as more sweet than sexy, which raises the question: If this story had been about a man and a woman, would it have been removed from the store?
A quick search suggests that the answer is "no." Titles currently available on Kindle include Christmas Creampie, a graphic novel in which "horny Whoreville hussies show a frustrated dildo shop owner the true meaning of Christmas," and Little Lorna in Resort Sports (I'm not even going to link to this one), in which Little Lorna, who is spunky, sexy, but "not too bright," goes on vacation to Mexico with her Uncle Bob; "nudity, spanking, and sexy humor" result.
So apparently a sweet love story between two men is unacceptable, but an orgy in a dildo shop is OK.
At least one other publisher is affected: Some Yaoi Press titles were removed, and publisher Yamila Abraham was told to tone down the images accompanying their prose titles.
Digital is probably the biggest publisher of BL (boys love) manga on the Kindle, but there is another: Animate U.S.A., a Japanese company that publishes yaoi exclusively on the Kindle — there are no print editions. The publisher sends me regular press releases, and all the titles I checked are still available, although I believe Animate's books are pretty explicit.
So what's going on? If previous experience is any guide, the Internet will be rising up today, and it should be an interesting show. Hopefully at the end of it, Amazon will restore the deleted titles, but this episode points up once again the problems with centralized distribution, as well as raising another troubling question: Why does this only seem to happen with gay material?
I thought it was weird that Episode 2 of Youka Nitta's Kiss Ariki has suddenly disappeared from the Kindle store. I already have it but I couldn't help but notice that since last month or so. It seems that they are planning on removing all explicit chapters/titles. I think they also did so with one or two chapters of Shiuko Kano's Play Boy Blues. Shiuko Kano is known for her extremely explicit series, so this is to be expected. I really hope they continue adding more episodes of Kiss Ariki as I am a huge fan of Youka Nitta.
Anyone who'd like to send their thoughts to Amazon/Kindle can do so at: email@example.com
Thanks for the address, I just sent them a message.
I thank you as well for the link. I sent them a message as well. I think the backlash from this decision is going to hurt Amazon and I hope that they reconsider this. Especially if they're targeting the yaoi genre, as they seem to be. While most of us yaoi readers are not gay, the gay and lesbian community may get behind a ban and a very vocal outcry of targeting yaoi manga. It's a scary thing when a company decides they don't want to sell something because they don't like the content. A very slippery slope and a short trip to worse things. I made a comment on the Amazon Kindle forum about it and was told that it's just business and the business has the right to choose what they want to sell and it's not censoring or banning anything like a government would. Maybe I see things differently, but to sell something one day then decide the next that they don't like the content and won't sell it anymore sounds a lot like censoring and banning books. I fear that Amazon will, indeed, begin not selling the actual books as well.
To me, the whole thing reeks of homophobia….
Tracy, thanks! Brigid, good article!
Meichell – Amazon absolutely can sell whatever it wants and we have nothing we can do about it. However, because Amazon is applying its own policies in a random fashion, we do have the right to point it out and call "foul" as long and loud as we want. And we also have the right to spend our money elsewhere.
Amazon needs to decide whether it's going to …use the bathroom or get off the pot when it comes to explicit material. It deleted some incest titles not so long ago, and some other M/M titles before that. Amazon seems to react whenever someone complains about material, pulling that one item and any items it can easily find that match it, while other titles under the radar with the exact same material go unscathed.
I'd like to see Amazon state clearly what is and isn't acceptable, instead of using broad terms like "pornography" and "offensive material" (as if all such material is actually offensive to every single person on the planet). And then I'd like to see Amazon enforce its guidelines on all materials it sells, rather than only on material that is often targeted by conservatives.
And now to copy and paste that into an email to Amazon!
I sent an email about it and got this response:
I understand your disappointment seeing that some yaoi titles are removed from Kindle Store.
Occasionally books are removed from the Kindle Store for various reasons. We don't have any details about why this particular book may have been removed.
However, we will continue to work with publishers directly and ask that they make their content available on Kindle.
Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide, and we're glad you took time to write to us about this issue. Rest assured that the Kindle Team will carefully review your comments.
Thanks for your using Kindle.
Seems to me they didn't address my question at all! I think that Amazon is going to tap dance around this issue so as not to have to address it directly and make themselves sound homophobic. I think it's deplorable to hide behind a ToS that is only applied to certain material. Shame on Amazon.
Looks like the return of the AmazonFail hashtag is about to arrive.
"Yaoi readers gobble up the books like romance fans read Harlequin novels, which is not surprising as they are basically the same thing, except that yaoi 1) is manga, 2) is a love story between two men, and 3) often includes lots of sex."
Actually, most romance novels currently include lots of sex too. The issue with BL is the pictures more than the sex (or even the gay sex) as such, I'm sure; there's a healthy selection of all-text erotica on the Kindle and Amazon actually has multiple "Erotica" categories, including one under Graphic Novels.
As of right now, of the 100 Top Bestsellers in the Graphic Novels -> Erotica category, seven are "currently unavailable"; one yaoi GN from DMP (The Color of Love), one yaoi GN from Yaoi Press (The Aluria Chronicles), and five het items ("Daughter of the vampire Dracula KYURIA", "Meat-eaters", "The private tutoring school part3 ", "Dragged-up Slave YU", and "Cougar Magazine – October 2010″); presumably these were recently delisted, since they're still on the bestseller list. So I don't think Amazon is just going after yaoi, but at least some of the yaoi they've delisted is much tamer than some of the hentai that's still available. No idea what their criteria are at this point.
Er, that should say the "100 Top Bestsellers in the Graphic Novels -> Erotica on the Kindle" category. The print Graphic Novels category, interestingly enough, does not have an Erotica subcategory.
Hi. I found my way here from a Tweet. Last month, Amazon recategorized the historical fiction ebook I'd just uploaded as erotica. At first, it seemed it was because the cover was too risque. Then I thought maybe it was because it has a subplot about a 12-year-old being sexually abused (in the Dark Ages, in the hold of her enemy – nothing gratuitous). I pointed out a number of links with covers much more explicit than mine that weren't classified as erotica and pointed out that neither The Color Purple nor Lolita are classified as erotica. I also asked them what their policy was so that I could comply with it and was told … well, the entire email exchange is posted here. Upshot, after a bit of back-and-forthing, Amazon turned out to be reasonable about it, removed the erotica tag, and allowed my book to be retagged as historical fiction and historical romance. It did take a few days to get things readjusted. All to urge everyone to stay polite and present your case in a professional manner and give Amazon a chance to right what they've done. I am proof they can be reasonable.
Put yourself in amazon's shoes, if they distribute even one copy of an obscene work to even one person in a single community anywhere in america, where that specific community considers the work to be obscene and it doesn't have "serious social value" and they knew of the content of that work they are criminally liable.
The fact that a work may not be considered obscene by 99% of the usa, is irrelevant if it is obscene in at least one community where amazon distributed it to. It is not a defense to argue that they had no possible way of determining what exactly community standards were in different parts of the usa. Further they can be found to have knowingly distributed a work they knew was obscene, even if they did not know it was obscene.
Of course the Obama administration has largely abandoned any attempt to prosecute for obscenity, but there is nothing stopping a local prosecutor acting under state (rather than federal law) like with that other book on amazon a while ago.
It is also objectively rational for Amazon to apply stricter scrutiny to gay works, the religious groups who want to see an enforcement of obscenity law generally have a strong dislike for homosexuality too, they are likely to find homosexual sex to be "obscene" or wrong even when they feel heterosexual sex isn't.
Basically Amazon is concerned that it will get hit with an obscenity lawsuit from a local prosecutor in one of the most conservative religious places in the us, after someone from that place orders a copy of something from them.
"Put yourself in amazon's shoes, if they distribute even one copy of an obscene work to even one person in a single community anywhere in america, where that specific community considers the work to be obscene and it doesn't have "serious social value" and they knew of the content of that work they are criminally liable."
I can understand this as being a concern but that doesn't explain why Amazon would ban it on KINDLE but still gladly sell and accept your money for a print title. I don't think it has anything to do with obscenity laws to be honest. If so, they'd be pulling print titles left and right.
The best explanation of obscenity law that I have seen is http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/obscenity.htm Here is the Miller test:
1. The work in question must depict or describe sexual conduct.
2. The prohibited conduct must be specifically described in the law.
3. The work, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. (the "SLAPS" test)
4. The work, taken as a whole and applying contemporary community standards, must appeal to prurient interest in sex.
5. The work must portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, applying contemporary community standards.
#3 is not a local community decision. The test was designed by the Supreme Court to acknowledge local standards but not give a single community the right to dictate to the entire nation.
I'm not sure what's happened, but right now if you go to the Kindle store and simply search "manga," you'll find plenty of yaoi titles. It's actually kind of a pain for those of us who prefer other genres, because they're hard to find past all of the yaoi.
It's not so much the number of titles they've pulled but more why they're pulling them. We know there are a lot of titles on KINDLE right now but for how long? It would be helpful if Amazon answered our inquiries with their reason but even the publishers are unclear as to why this is happening. Censorship starts small and if there is no push back they will continue to pick and choose what we're allowed to buy. Not to mention they are only removing the KINDLE titles and not the print titles, which makes no sense.
Well…I'm sure Amazon has to think of its advertisers as well as a host of other considerations. But it's hard not to argue that the above image is not provocative.
This is the letter I sent firstname.lastname@example.com
I find your recent changing of content guidelines for the Kindle and selective removal of certain yaoi manga featuring romance between consenting adults unfortunate. I refer to titles from Digigtal Manga Publishing's 801 Media titles Weekend Lovers , King of Debt, The Selfish Demon King, and the removal of The Color of Love, among others. Why were these books, which cater to a dedicated female fan base, deleted when hard-core pornography featuring (and catering) to straight men remains available? Is Amazon again displaying bias against GLBT content, not to mention female readers of the genre? Or is Amazon in the process of deleting all erotica, and that a GLBT genre was suspiciously only the first to be targeted? Either option is troubling. As an adult reader, I would want the option to purchase all legal content, regardless of whether it offends my personal tastes or morals, simply because it is fair and right.
As a follow-up for people to express their support of yaoi ( and GLBT comics on the Kindle) I recommend going here http://theyaoireview.com/2011/05/04/call-to-action-tell-amazon-no-to-kindle-censorship/
You can also leave a message at Kindle customer service
Very interesting post. This doesn't only happen with gay material — the Kindle store also refused to carry the eBook version of the SuicideGirls coffee table book. (Disclaimer: I know this because I work for the publishers, Feral House (http://www.feralhouse.com). Strangely, they carry some of our far more risqué print titles. I don't pretend to understand the laws on this, but it sure makes publishing more difficult.
"I can understand this as being a concern but that doesn't explain why Amazon would ban it on KINDLE but still gladly sell and accept your money for a print title. I don't think it has anything to do with obscenity laws to be honest. If so, they'd be pulling print titles left and right."
I dunno with e-books because they are hosting the content and have "viewed" it, the defence that they did not know of the content of the work is unlikely to cut it if they were ever sued. By contrast they can claim they never read a paper book in question they are distributing and are absolved of any liability.
Boo amazon! This is exactly why I'm getting rid of my kindle! I just can't understand why everything involving two men gets banned, but all hetero and lesbian activity is always safe. If you don't like it, just don't read it!
"The issue with BL is the pictures more than the sex (or even the gay sex) as such, I'm sure"
Don't be. Amazon has also banned prose e-novels for indulging in fictional fetishes that someone found uncomfortable. In fact, they yanked "How to Rape a Straight Guy" based mostly on the (admittedly provocative) title. (There are sex scenes in the book, but they aren't any more scandalous than those found in so many other books.) One more reason why I'm glad I didn't buy a Kindle (I got a Nook), and I'm turning to BN.com and a couple local bricks-n-mortar store (and of course my comics shop) for all my book shopping.
This was the thoroughly unhelpful reply I got from Amazon feedback:
The items you referenced are not available for sale. Thank you for contacting us.
Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?"
No. You didn't. *__*
I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple's strict policies? Maybe AMZ's worries they would lose their app…
Does anyone now if the same things is happening with BN and the Nook?
UPDATE: Amazon has recategorized my book to erotica again. Maybe there is something going on with them right now. I'll watch this thread, and I'll be asking them why, too.
Ah, good point. I guess they would or at least could have more liability with their digital content.
Well, I guess when Amazon pulled those LBGT titles back a few months and then restored them with "Oops, it was a mistake, HONEST!" They really MEANT that they hate LBGT titles. :/
I can only hope June and the other publishers take their ebooks elsewhere to be made available.
Also, what's wrong with explicit content, just toss a MATURE tag on it and throw it up there.
Isn't it nice having an organisation telling you what is and is not okay to read?
"Does anyone now if the same things is happening with BN and the Nook?"
I can't say for sure whether something *of this sort* has happened with BN/Nook system, but this item in particular is still available for the Nook, as are certain prose e-novels that Amazon nixed for the Kindle (e.g. How to Rape a Straight Guy). Amazon's pattern of banning certain titles from the Kindle has been very haphazard and inconsistent, so it's difficult to get a handle on. If BN is doing the same thing, it could be equally random. But *as far as I know*, they haven't been pulling this shit, and today I've been paging through my newly-downloaded-from BN.com "Color of Love" GN.
I've submitted YAOI comic in KINDLE store.
But they told me my book is in violation.
B004W82RAM Passion of Moon Phase(in a spread dysplay)
During our review process, we found that your title contains content that is in violation of our content guidelines. As a result, we will not be offering this title for sale.
OK, my comic is not a porn comic, but describes the love between two boys.
It's in violation.
I'll fight against AMAZON.
I notice that at least when I went to look today, both of the hetero books you mentioned have also been removed.
I have a suspicion they pull (or recatagorize) in responce to complaints from "concerned citizens" and that there are more conservatives digging through amazon and issuing complaints about "homosexual material" than there are people searching the catalog to complain about heterosexual porn.
I want to ask the writers a serious question: why haven't you published any Amazon contact information where Kindle users can express their dismay of this policy? Or other information about who people wanting to change this policy can talk to? (yea, ending with a preposition, but it makes much more sense this way <.<)
It's like you want people not to get involved in the issue…
Further viewing on the subject of Apathy generating news articles – see this TED talk:
Found the contact information:
Here is the email I sent. I will post the response once I get it
As you probably know from my email address, I'm the owner of 2 kindle devices and a frequent Amazon shopper.
I have come to accept that some content isn't available to everyone (I live outside the US) because of copyright issues. I don't like it, but I don't hold Amazon against it.
However I have now found out that Amazon is also censoring the content I am allowed to buy on some kind of "moral" ground (?) or other non-legal requirement. Specifically the Yaoi Mangas, but possible other content as well. Although I am not a reader of Yaoi or any Manga, I find this to be unacceptable. I have bought my Kindles as a more convenient way to read books, not as a way to let others control what I am allowed to read. And I expect Amazon to allow me to read any content that is legally published.
I am otherwise very happy with my device and recommend it to family and friends, and will probably do so in the future if this censorship is removed.
If I am mistaken – and the removal of the content is a outside legal with which Amazon must comply – please let me (and the rest of the community) know as it will negate my dismay on the subject.
Awaiting your response
Good email Guy.
Furthermore, what's annoying to me and some of my other librarian co-workers is that Amazon feels comfortable selling sexually violent video games, novels, and even adult dvds and toys… Hypocrisy drives me nuts. If they want to censor, which I think is wrong, then they need to distribute their censorship equally across their products and be done with it since it's their right (no matter how wrong I think it is).
This doesn't just happen with gay materials. I am a writer for A1adultebooks.com and today Kindle has launched yet another round of censorship. Most of the titles pulled that A1 publishes are bdsm, mostly hetero, and other hardcore or explicit titles. So, this is censorship across the board and affects many writers of erotica, straight, gay, etc. And this is all LEGAL adult writing, it's not depicting incest or "pseudo incest", it's legal for buyers to purchase and to read. This is censorship of the worst kind, and they enforce these "rules" without rhyme or reason. "Lolita" is probably still at Kindle because ,er, that's "literature"….yeah, right. If some fancy 1950's intellectual writes smut, then it's okay. Writers of adult content need to band together and put an end to central distribution hubs like Amazon/Kindle that are dictating what grown, legal age adults can or cannot read on their Kindle.

Team Natsu
this wiki
Team Natsu is an unnamed[2] team of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Creation of Team
Main article: Team Natsu's Formation
The idea for the creation of the team came from the Celestial Spirit Plue, which Natsu thought was a great idea.[3] Initially, the team was formed just to destroy the Daybreak book, but seeing as how well Natsu and Happy got along with Lucy, they decided to keep the team together.[4] Later, Gray and Erza join the team to stop Eisenwald and its guild members.[5] In the end, after the events of Fairy Tail-Phantom Lord war, they all decided to remain together as an official team.[6] Sometimes they are called the "strongest team" in Fairy Tail, seeing as how all the members are very strong and have great teamwork.[5] However, the formation of this team has caused great fear for Master Makarov, seeing as how all the members are very strong (and very careless) in their own way, both the master and the Magic Council fear (not without good reason) that they might actually end up destroying an entire city while on quests.[7]
Destroy the "Daybreak" Book
Natsu and Lucy go on a mission with a 2 million Jewel reward to destroy a book.[8] They retrieved the book, but opted not to destroy it because of the true value held within,[9] and thus forfeited the reward.[10]
- Status: Failure
Fish for the Winged Fish
Happy accepted this job, while Natsu and Lucy accompany him. This mission was successful but the team ended up disappointed when the Fish was terrible.[11]
- Status: Success
Find the Slimming Mushroom
Natsu, Happy and Lucy were supposed to find the Slimming Mushroom, a popular diet food.[12]
- Status: Unknown
Stop Eisenwald
Erza forces the gang to stop a Dark Guild from assassinating the Guild Masters.
- Status: Success
- Erza Scarlet and Gray Fullbuster join Team Natsu.
The Cursed Island
Natsu steals an S-Class mission to prove himself. The mission is to save an island of cursed humans. Gray gets roped into it and Erza tries to stop them.
- Status: Success
Help a Theater
Mirajane gave the team this job. The job required them to perform a play for a director because all of his actors quit a day before the show was supposed to be performed. Despite the terrible acting of the team it was a hit, and they had to perform it 3 times a day for weeks.
- Status: Success
Stop some Thieves
Not much is known about this mission. Upon completion, Team Natsu spent the night at a local inn.
- Status: Success
Stop the Oración Seis
Team Natsu is sent to make up a portion of the Allied Forces, aiding in the destruction of one-third of the Balam Alliance, the Dark Guild Oración Seis.
- Status: Success
- The Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter Guilds all send delegates, together forming the Allied Forces.
Capture Velveno
After accepting a request from Count Balsamico, the team, with Elfman Strauss and Warren Rocko, attends a ball in Balsamico Palace in order to capture the escaped convict, Velveno.
- Status: Success
- Elfman and Warren Rocko temporarily join Team Natsu.
Deliver the Gold
The team accepts a job of delivering and guarding a freight cart filled with gold as it travels across the country.
- Status: Success
- Erza and Gray temporarily leave Team Natsu.
Stop Some Bandits

Played the demo today and pretty much bought it straight afterward.
Very polished and a great game concept (no, I didn't play the original).
Just the right pace for an old fart like me .

I installed the original a few days back but it just doesn't work on a big screen.
Now if they could just change their mind about the delayed international release I'd be a very happy camper. Though I guess I'm better off not having it until Friday in some ways.

Herbed Potato Bread
From EatingWell: Fall 2003
This distinctive loaf boasts a beautiful bouquet of herbs baked into the crust. Flavored with more herbs, it's a fine accompaniment to savory dishes, but is also delicious toasted, with honey.
Makes: 2 small loaves (8 slices each)

Nutrition Profile

- 1 all-purpose potato, (6 ounces), peeled and halved
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons lukewarm water
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2-1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- Cornmeal, for dusting
Glaze & decoration
- 6 fresh chives
- 6-8 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 4-6 fresh sage leaves
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- Place potato in a small saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Place the potato in a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Drizzle with oil. Let mashed potato and reserved cooking liquid cool to lukewarm.
- Dissolve sugar in water in a large bowl. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the mashed potato and reserved cooking liquid. Gradually beat in whole-wheat flour. Beat for 1 minute. Stir in rosemary, thyme, sage and salt. Gradually beat in enough of the all-purpose flour until the dough is too stiff to beat. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour to prevent sticking, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, use a stand-up mixer fitted with a dough hook to mix and knead the dough.)
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch the dough down. Turn out onto the work surface and knead several times. Divide dough in half and shape each piece into a ball. Place loaves several inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
- Half an hour before baking, place a baking stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven. Place a small baking pan on the rack below. Preheat oven to 450°F.
- To decorate loaves: Place a large bowl of cold water beside the stove. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Drop chives, parsley sprigs and sage leaves into the boiling water for a few seconds. Retrieve with tongs or a slotted spoon and drop into the cold water. Pat herbs dry.
- Blend egg white and water with a fork in a small bowl; brush over the risen loaves. Arrange herb sprigs decoratively over the loaves. Brush again with the egg-white glaze.
- Pour 1 cup water into the baking pan in the oven. Place the baking sheet on the baking stone (or inverted baking sheet) and bake the loaves for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400° and bake until the loaves are golden and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

I am using Meteor 4.2 (Windows) and I am always getting the "update failed: 403 -- Access denied. Can't replace document in restricted collection" when I am trying to update an object in my collection. Strangely I had no problem inserting new ones, only updates are failing.
I tried to "allow" everything on my collection:
insert: function () { return true; },
update: function () { return true; },
remove: function () { return true; },
fetch: function () { return true; }
But still, this update fails:
_id: Session.get('current_map')
}, {
name: $('#newMapName').val()
Is there something else I can check? Or maybe my code is wrong? Last time I played with my project was with a previous version of Meteor (< 4.0).
Thanks for your help.
PS: Just for information, when I do this update, the local collection is updated, I can see the changes in the UI. Then very quickly it is reverted along with the error message, as the changes has been rejected by the server-side.

Michael Keaton was born Michael John Douglas on September 5, 1951 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania into a Scots-Irish (Ulster Scots) family. He has not legally changed his name to his stage name, which was created after seeing Diane Keaton. He started out as a stand-up comedian, went to work…more
Michael has brown hair and blue eyes.
Michael stands at 5 feet, 9 inches.
He has brown hair and blue eyes.
Says that if he could make a sequel or follow-up to any movie of his, it would be "Beetlejuice."
When it was announced that Michael Keaton was picked for the title in role "Batman" (1989), over 50,000 letters were written to Warner Bros. protesting his casting even before the film first-opened.
Turned down such high-profile roles as Dr. Seth Brundle in the 1986 remake of "The Fly" as well as roles in the "Ghostbusters" movies.
His documentary "Fred Rogers: America's Favorite Neighbor" was nominated for an Emmy in 2004 as Outstanding Nonfiction Special.
He was nominated for a 2005 Teen Choice Award for "Choice Movie Scary Scene" for "White Noise."
The National Society of Film Critics gave him their Best Actor Award in 1989 for both Beetle Juice and Clean and Sober.
He worked as a cameraman at WQED in Pittsburgh.
He is a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Pittsburgh Pirates.
In 2004 he produced a documentary about Mister Rogers titled Fred Rogers: America's Favorite Neighbor.
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films nominated him for a Best Supporting Actor Saturn Award in 1990 for his performance in Beetle Juice.
He appeared in several episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, before moving to Los Angeles to try to break into television.
He was given a Best Supporting Actor Award by the Kansas City Film Critics Circle in 1983, for Night Shift.
He has not legally changed his name to "Keaton".
His breakthrough movie performance was in Night Shift along with Henry Winkler.
He shared a MTV Movie Award Nomination for Best Kiss in 1993, with Michelle Pfieffer.
His performance in Live from Baghdad earned him a Golden Globe Nomination in 2003 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television.
He attended Montour High School in the Pittsburgh area.
His starring performance in Beetlejuice earned acclaim, rave reviews and a lot of money moving him to Hollywood's "A-list".
He attended Kent State University in Ohio.
He changed his name because Michael Douglas and Mike Douglas were already registered with the actors guild.
He was the smallest actor to play Batman and the fourth actor to portray the character.
Michael:(on playing Batman
I'm gonna do four or five of these movies, and it's going to become my career. I'll have to keep expanding the bat suit, because I get fatter every year. I'll be bankrupt. I'll be out opening shopping malls, going from appearance to appearance in a cheesy van.
Michael: (on directing a feature film) I probably could've done this earlier, if I was more ambitious.
Michael: (on doing a villain role in a superhero film) I think it'd be fun because those are the roles where you get to chew it up.
Michael: (asked if he regretted not returning as Batman in "Batman Forever") I was waiting in line for another movie and just kind of poked my head in... watched about 10 minutes. I saw enough to know that I made the right decision.
Michael: (comparing working on "Batman Returns" to the first "Batman" film) In some ways, this one was harder, because I felt like I was doing an impersonation of myself. Which, aside from being nearly impossible, is really weird.
Michael: (on his birth name being Michael Douglas) Yeah, I had to change my name because there were two other actors registered at Equity with that name. One of them is doing quite well from what I understand, the other is making cheap porn movies... (pause) like Basic Instinct.

The Spy Gear Spy Specs Video Glasses are high-tech special-ops shades that record videos and photos of your surroundings. The hidden embedded camera will begin to record with a simple click of a button. The Spy Specs can take up to 2,000 photos or 15 minutes of video, although that information is not communicated either on the box or in the instructions. We only know this because Spin Master told us. The dark lenses hide your gaze as you survey the area and collect footage. Upload your data to a Mac or PC by connecting the glasses using the included USB cable. The USB cable also charges your glasses, and it takes about 15 minutes to get a full charge.
These glasses are really cool, and they really work. And that's the whole point of the Spy Gear line: to give kids a realistic way to play out all kinds of spy adventures. The glasses are easy to use and just inconspicuous enough that no one will suspect you're spying on them.
The Spy Specs Video Glasses are for ages 8 and up.
There is an LED light on the inside of the glasses that lets you know that your glasses are recording, that the memory is full, or that the battery is low. However, you can't see the LED light when you're wearing the glasses.
While these do record sound, you have to be talking fairly loudly in order to be heard clearly.
Even though these glasses have tinted lenses, don't use them to view the sun.
