Amazon Stops Disney Pre-Orders In 'Dispute'
Amazon has reportedly halted pre-orders of some Disney films, in what looks like another contract dispute following the online retailer's row with a book publisher.
Physical copies of titles such as Maleficent and Captain America: The Winter Soldier were unavailable for order on Amazon.com.
Digital copies of some of the movies in question were still available for pre-order, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Amazon has been waging a battle against Hachette Book Group, the fourth-largest US book publisher, over the price the online retailer can charge for e-books.
A group called Authors United ran a two-page ad in the New York Times on Sunday, criticizing Amazon for halting pre-orders from some Hachette authors and slowing delivery of books by Hachette authors.
The ad was signed by more than 900 writers, including Stephen King and Donna Tartt.
Amazon.com's Books Team ran a message on the Readers United website reiterating its arguments for cheaper ebooks, and suggested people email Hachette chief executive Michael Pietsch.
The company published Mr Pietsch's email address and listed key points people might want to make.
Mr Pietsch replied to every individual who emailed him saying that the dispute started because Amazon is seeking a lot more profit and even more market share at the expense of authors, bookstores and Hachette.
"Both Hachette and Amazon are big businesses and neither should claim a monopoly on enlightenment, but we do believe in a book industry where talent is respected and choice continues to be offered to the reading public," Mr Pietsch wrote on Sunday, a copy of which was emailed to Reuters.
"Once again, we call on Amazon to withdraw the sanctions against Hachette's authors that they have unilaterally imposed, and restore their books to normal levels of availability."
Amazon argues that cheaper e-books sell more copies and so ultimately generate more revenue and more royalties for authors.
There has been no comment from Amazon or Disney relating to the matter.

Good question, i'll look into it.
Hi guys, please help me on this! Can an australin wii console use the games I bought in the US? It's already clear that an American wii can't use Japanese games and likewise, but is it the same situation to American and Australian editions, for God's sake they are both in English!
Good question, i'll look into it.

SAN FRANCISCO What happened Sunday would have unfathomable in September or early October.
Carolina won one of the biggest games in franchise history.
The Panthers had won four straight against bottom-feeders. On Sunday they played one of the NFL's top teams, and beat them in a stadium in which the home team doesn't lose. San Francisco lost one game at Candlestick Park last season and, before Sunday, one at home this season.
The Panthers beat them 10-9.
This was a coming out for Carolina. If fans around the country wondered what the Panthers offer, they found out.
San Francisco scored the game's first nine points. Carolina turned the ball over twice in the first half while the 49ers did not turn the ball over. The game was going the way many fans expected it to. The favored 49ers were taking shots at the underdogs, landing blows. The Panthers were moving around, trying to generate an offense of their own.
Finally, they did. The game turned when, with 1:52 remaining in the first half, Carolina drove 80 yards for a touchdown.
The drive's eighth play was a testament to power and beauty. Receiver Brandon LaFell lined up left and slipped behind Cam Newton. Newton was going to take off right on a read option. He could keep the ball or pitch it to LaFell, who ran with him.
Or he could pretend he did.
Newton handed the ball to running back DeAngelo Williams. While Newton and LaFell were running right, Williams went up the middle and left. He broke two tackles and he scored. Now it was a game.
Kudos to whomever designed the play.
The 49ers could have used a play of their own. they would not score again. Their offensive line is among the league's best if not the league's best. But the Panthers sacked Colin Kaepernick six times. By the end of the game, Kaepernick was throwing as if he expected to be hit. And he was usually right.
If you want a statistic that explains the game, it's this: The Panthers converted seven of 17 third downs, the 49ers two of 13. The 49ers converted 15 percent of their third-down attempts Sunday. Coming in, they had converted 40.2.
This game was old-school, and that's a compliment. The NFL creates rules that hinder the defense and enhance the offense. Offense sells tickets, bumps up ratings and wins games.
But Carolina-San Francisco was a throwback. There should have been clumps of sod sticking out of helmets and frozen breath coming out of the mouths of players. The hits were hard and the pretty offensive plays infrequent. The tougher team, the stronger team and the more poised team would win.
Can you imagine saying such a thing about the Panthers early this season? Remember when they were 1-3? It was Oct. 6. But it sounds like a story you'd tell your kids when you want to impress them with how hard life was in the olden days.
Newton was 16 of 32 for 169 yards, and his longest pass was 19 yards.
But when he had to hit a receiver, he did. When receivers dropped passes, he acted as if he didn't notice. The 49ers played hardball and the Panthers played it harder. San Francisco plays a big game every week and the Panthers hadn't played one for five seasons. Yet, amidst all the noise and all the big hits, it was Newton and the Panthers who refused to come undone.
That the Panthers have won five straight and jacked their record to 6-3 does not mean they've arrived. But by any standard, they appear to be on their way. The last time their defense was as effective as it is this season was – let's go to the record book – never.
Their front seven was outstanding and their maligned defensive backfield was right there with them. The Panthers are tough, rarely make mistakes and they don't panic. The longer the game went, the stronger they became.
The offense was not outstanding, but they weren't going to be. This was not that kind of game. This was a game in which you score enough to win.
If you were with the Panthers through the lean years, 2013 is your reward. No idea what will happen at home next Monday against New England.
Won't it be a thrill to find out?

The Bachelor, Jamie and Ben
After weeks of waiting to have her first kiss with Ben, Jamie finally made a move leading to one of The Bachelor's most cringe-worthy awkward moments. In this week's chat with host Chris Harrison, he explains that the New York nurse was out of her element, why the two-on-one date could've gone either way and how next week Ben finally confronts Courtney.
Rozlyn Papa
With a second season of Bachelor Pad now officially in the works, we asked previous Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants whether they'd be up for the spin-off series. While some have no doubts about doing it, others were a bit more conflicted.
"The wounds were still a little raw from Bachelor, but now that I've had time to cool down a little bit it's something I'd consider," Season 14 Bachelor contestant Rozlyn Papa said. "But it's going to be a tougher decision."
Fresh off the airing of The Bachelor's "Women Tell All" special, host Chris Harrison sat down with TVGuide.com to discuss Rozlyn Papa's bombshell claim. Plus: Harrison discusses the finale and why it's not the "most dramatic" yet, this season's dearth of hot tub scenes and why they should've made better use of...
The Bachelor, Chris Harrison, Rozlyn
Rule No. 1 for reality show contestants: Don't mess with the host. The Bachelor's Chris Harrison took aim at what he called the "classless, tactless" tactics of booted contestant Rozlyn Papa after she claimed during Monday's "Women Tell All" episode that Harrison once hit on a producer's wife. Other contestants don't put much stock in anything she says: Papa was kicked off the show after the other women accused her of having a physical relationship with a Bachelor staffer during filming — something the single mother swore on her son's life never happened. (As some in the studio audience gasped.) Harrison said he wouldn't dignify Papa's claims with a response, but he's more than happy to talk about the Bachelor's final pick: "Jake is very much in love with who he's chosen," Harrison said.
Chris Harrison
If you still have questions about what happened with The Bachelor's Rozlyn and a member of the production team, you'll soon find out. That's the word from host Chris Harrison, who promises Monday's women-tell-all episode will include more of the ousted competitor's "antics" and "desperate attempts to get 15 more minutes of fame." Harrison says the episode will also explore what might have been with Jake Pavelka and the departed Ali, adding, "feelings are still there."
TVGuide.com: Will we learn more about Ali's choice to leave Jake for her job?Chris Harrison: I know there's been a lot of questions about why she didn't get the time off, because she knew she was going on the show, but she'll explain all that...
The Bachelor, Chris Harrison
For Bachelor fans, wondering what happens to the contestants who don't receive that final rose, ABC is planning a summer spin-off called Bachelor Pad. Host Chris Harrison told TVGuide.com the new series will "bring all of our favorites back in more of an entertaining, fun way" and romance will certainly be the focus. "These people all get together, they've hooked up, we have engagements ... people love this stuff so why don't we show it?" Harrison also spoke about the current Bachelor season — Rozlyn scandal included — and about what has shocked him...

It was difficult to categorize this scent. It is VERY sweet....almost too sweet at first, but after a few minutes it tones down and is very different from anything I've ever smelled. Doesn't last long at allllll.

Lil' Angel is a rich and delicious scent with an effervescent quality. When I first sampled it in the store it made me think of pineapples and chocolate. My only grievance is how poorly the scent lasts. For me, it disappears almost immediately after I apply. Sorely disappointing. However, it just smells SO good..
December 09, 2009
Harajuku Lovers Lil' Angel is the sweetest and most angelic fragrance I've ever encountered. I bought 3 more, so I can keep it wherever I may need it. Its only drawback is that it doesn't last very well, but that's not difficult to overcome - just reapply. I truly love this one; I even spray it on my hands so that as I work it wafts up to my nose. And on my clothing also. Hope you like this one too.

Things must really be looking up for the 3-1 UTEP Miners: A glance at the UNM football ticket page shows that UTEP is one of three "Premium" games that New Mexico fans must pay extra to see. UNM's "premium" games are UTEP, Utah and Texas Tech. Their "standard" games are SDSU, Wyoming and TCU. Stand tall, Miners. You are premium.
Sad times in Albuquerque
New Mexico appears to be pretty bad again this year. They lost to UNLV on Saturday by a score of 42-10. Fans are quickly turning on their coach, Mike Locksley. I enjoyed this little slideshow today: UNM Football: 10 Reasons Why Mike Locksley Should Get Fired
How many points would you demand before putting a bet on NMSU in their Saturday match up with #3 ranked Boise State? 30 points? 40? 50? Maybe even 60? Well, what you are going to get is 40. NMSU +40 points is where the line opened on Sunday. That's not enough for me. I'll be taking Boise St.
Meanwhile, UTEP opened as a 14.5-point favorite over New Mexico. Considering all of the troubles the Lobos are having, I think I'd take UTEP there.
If you want to call in a comment or question to the UTEP-NMSU podcast, which will be recorded Monday night, just call 546-6120. Leave a message on the voicemail, and we'll use the audio in the podcast.

@Peach64 I get what you're saying but the classification over here in Europe is notoriously difficult, we've heard many titles delayed over here because of it.
@sub12 I agree with you, so many people here are quick to blame UBI or EA for the poor sales of the Wii U yet would not dare speak foul of Nintendo. Remember when they said they were all about the core gamer and launched with Nintendoland, and New Super Mario Bros. U and then we have UBI release those casual games like ZombieU and Assassin's Creed 3 (yeah I know they did Just Dance too).
People need to realize that Nintendo fluffed up just as much (if not more) with the Wii U. From a poor first party software offering at launch (even though they said they learnt their mistakes from the 3DS launch) to lack of advertising for the system or it's games. Case in point when I'm watching Sky or BT sports all I see is adverts for Halo MCC or Sunset Overdrive AND NOT ONE ADVERT FOR SMASH BROS (3DS)!!
better get to 10,000 vr on mk7 before it gets ruined
Never played the VC version which I downloaded so might as well get this one, find it a lot more convenient to play this on the 3DS then on the Wii U
The music in this was just brilliant!
The best thing Nintendo instead of a price cut is to show why the system is worth $299.99 by providing software AND services to attract consumers. Reggie mentioned once on an IGN article that they are not just competing with the likes of Apple and Sony for games but also the likes of TV and books as they are an entertainment company.
They are doing a good job with the software from a first and second party basis and to be honest with you I have little faith in third parties across the board at the moment seeing as they are more focused on pleasing consumers by talking about resolutions and frame rates for their games rather then take about the actual games they are making.
I think Nintendo could one up the competition by still being the only one to offer a system with free online Multiplayer but also be a competent Multimedia device. The gamepad is a perfect tool for reading books and comics and how about more streaming features such as HBO and some other streaming services from the States and getting the Iplayer, 4onDemand and Demand 5 for the UK (and also any other catch up channels that other European and Australian countries).
So does that mean Treasurenauts isn't coming then?
@SnappyJon More like the player count went down on it after MK8 came out. I went on it after downloading the update and the numbers are still the same, 1.1K. And let's be honest this number is tragically low, that's why I've stopped playing it cause I just got bored with TDM and FFA, now I just float between MK8 and Mass Effect 3 for my multiplayer fix
More gutted that Ultra Street Fighter 4 isn't coming to the U if I'm honest
Kind of the opposite of what happened with Splinter Cell: The Blacklist, although back then there was a few shouts about Ubisoft being lazy
I want to play Mario Kart as The Stig..... Some say that he is immune to blue shells!
In other news, Europe still waits for TVii
They should bring the Darksiders collection over to Wii U just like the PS3 and 360 have, that would be a good start... oh and fix the game crashing and god awful framerates
Adder: Where have you been?
Flash: Where Haven't I been! WOOF!!!
c'mon battalion wars 3 fingers crossed
I'm still enjoying Black Ops II at the moment, but the maps are starting to get stale after 2 years. I would be tempted to get this if we had the same DLC as the other platforms cause the new maps do help keep the game fresh and interesting, I put so much time in Modern Warfare 3 on the 360 cause of those new maps and spec op missions.
The Tiger Woods games have been on the decline on the home consoles so a Mario Golf game on a handheld isn't really going to set the charts ablaze. And has there been any advertising for it?
In all honesty if Nintendo aren't going to support the Wii U then why should anyone else.
Why do I say that Nintendo don't support the Wii U:
1) 3 months between DKC: TF and MK8 would be fine if there was third party retail support to mitigate this
2) They said they learnt their lesson from the 3ds with the software draught... they haven't (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/129287/Iwata_Bitter_lesson_learned_from_slow_3DS_launch.php)
3) Wii U is all about the core that's why we've had to wait 2 years for their first online competitive game (Wii U sports doesn't count if I'm in Europe and can't play against someone in NA) - http://nintendoeverything.com/reggie-on-attracting-core-gamers-to-wii-u-third-party-games-supply-chain-nintendo-power-and-more/
And before people start saying I hate the Wii U or Nintendo, I only have a Wii U and 3DS. I want Nintendo to do well for my own sake.... I WANT STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 3 ON THE WII U!!! But we all that's not going to happen with the direction Nintendo are taking with the Wii U at the moment
Even if it does come to Wii U it's not going to get any of the DLC or Elite. Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying Black Ops 2 but refused to buy it brand new when I realized that we weren't going to get the same support as the other versions. Why should I pay the same price as the other versions when I'm getting the inferior product.
@Dragoon04 Just like what Activision do with Call Of Duty? Anyway all I've heard about is single player and Escalation mode but I really enjoyed the Multiplayer in FOC (apart from the over powered Scientist). Is this going to have competitive Multiplayer as well?
Mk_II said:
I'd love to see a Rogue Squadron HD for Wii U
I got a better idea, instead of GBA games why not put Gamecube games on the Wii U VC like alot of people wanted in the first place. Or atleast SOME N64 games, am I really being unreasonable in my expectations/wants?
In all honesty.... he's right. If you compare the aesthetics of the Wii to the Wii U, the Wii is a much better looking piece of hardware (especially held vertically).
Out of all the current gens the PS4 defo has the most "sex appeal" (again I'm pointing about aesthetics) this generation which is no doubt helping with it's sales cause it is still more expensive then the Wii U.
Sony have done a really good job this generation with their hardware, no doubt about that but I'm sticking with my "ugly" Wii U
I'm seeing a few comments like "oh but it came out 5 months after the original versions" to which I ask why did Mass Effect 2 and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion sell so well on the PS3?
@AcesHigh73 Shame you're missing out on Lego City then, one of the best games on the system which actually uses the Gamepad to add gameplay functions to it
@mch The two big hitters I was referring to are MK8 and Smash (which is going to sell more on the 3DS). I'm pointing out that X and Bayonetta will not increase the install base enough to combat the onslaught the Wii U is getting from the PS4.
And let's not forget that the Wii U had 1 YEAR HEAD START over the other consoles yet they are not suffering from the consistent software droughts that have become standard for Nintendo since releasing Skyward Sword on the Wii!
" Nintendo's hope will be that by this time next year its home console will be on an upward trend and securing solid sales; there are big-hitters on the way to try and deliver that end result." - two big hitters, FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!?
Don't tell me that Bayonetta is going to sell like gangbuster when the original didn't exactly shift numbers on 2 seperate platforms with a combined install base of 100 million +, and don't kid yourself that X will do the same either. It'll sell decent but it'll struggle to hit 1.5 million.
Boy did Mario Galaxy have one of, no... THE best soundtracks ever!!!
@SanderEvers And Mario, Link or Samus will not go to those platforms either. This is referring to a MULTI-platform game coming to the previous and current console by the competition but not the Wii U console.
This is News, good or bad, news is still news and NintendoLife should report it to us as such
As long as there isn't an octopus in the game.
I would go all digital if the Wii U had bigger storage... I know, I know I can by an external hard drive but the other thing the gets my goat is that it's not 100% reliable. You can't get Darksiders 2 anymore on the eshop and I got Batman: Arkham City at a steal compared to the price to the price it still has on the eshop
A part of me is really hoping the reason they worked on the fur so much was so that they could use it for Starfox
Love how some people here are blaming everyone BUT Nintendo for all the bad sales. If it's not lazy developers it's biased journalism.
There are other factors to take into consideration but without a doubt Nintendo takes most of the blame. If they'd actually advertised the thing at launch it might have helped, atleast Sony and Microsft got that right. During the Christmas period it was choc-a-bloc with PS4 and Xbox one, and the only Nintendo adverts I saw was for Pokemon and ONE (I can actually count how many times I saw it) for Mario world.
But no, good job Nintendo you've done nothing wrong at all that's why your system is selling like hot cakes and you have LOADS of third party support, these "journalist" at Nintendolife should be ashamed for reporting facts!
All these people getting a mardy over Highmoon not doing the game seem to forget that they did Dark of the moon and Deadpool, so it's not like they have a perfect record either.
And this is NOT a movie tie in but bridges the gap between bayformers and the cybertron games. I think I'll make my mind up about the game when more information comes out rather then make my purchasing decision because a studio with a spotty track record isn't making it!
Wow that's sucks bra! Dem lazy third party developers not supporting the console, cause Nintendo has published and developed tonnes and tonnes of games for it, and on top of that they've been releasing loads of VC games for the Wii U too.
Nah Nintendo's kewl, they've done nothing wrong at all with the system. Let those lazy developers put DLC on the other crappy consoles cause nobody buys third party games like they do on der Nintendo.
Now I'm going to go back and play Splinter Cell Blacklist with all 98 (that's right 98) people online, cause we love that third party support!!!!!
*waits for some plank to complain about lack of local co-op in the game
Which of these games would I like to see on my Wii U... NONE OF THEM!!! Which ones would I like to see on my 3DS... Any and all of them!
kewl, just like the gba games you mentioned over a year ago
IF we get a Direct this month (getting close to the end of the month and still nothing). Let's have a bet how many times Iwata says "please understand!"
1 time - 10/1
2 times - 7/3
3 times - 4/1
4 times - 2/1
Too many times to even care anymore - not listed
@tanookisuit So why is the PS3 outselling it then?
Am I the only one here who wants to play Battlefront 3?
Do you guys REALLY believe this to be legit? The phrase "clickbait" comes to mind reading this. Move along folks...
Please be ready before the new Top Gear starts
The funny thing though is that the Wii has the Iplayer which makes it a more media capable system then the Wii U. Heck I'd be happy to watch the Iplayer through Wii mode but they've removed it!
Even the videos on the e-shop buffer way too much, a 2 minute trailer usually takes about 10 to watch, which is odd cause I can watch them with no problems on the youtube app on my Wii U.
If the PS4 and Xbone can have media functions at launch, why can't my Wii U have them a year after its own?
Having owned a 360 I think an under powered CPU makes sense. Last Gen we had the RROD for 360 and YLOD (to a lesser scale) on the PS3. I think an under powered CPU makes for a more reliable piece of hardware, atleast by looking at previous generations, I'm no tech expert.
With regards to who this anonymous source is, wasn't there an EA guy saying some rather negative things about the Wii U:
@Nico07 OK I'll bite, you do know that SC:BL on the Wii U was the only one which ran in native 720p, didn't have the framerate the PS3 has or screen tearing issues the PS3 and the 360 have. Yes the Wii U version has god awful load times and the odd bland texture but it is not visibly the same as the others.
But the originally argument wasn't about visuals but of a certain game not coming to my favorite platform. Watchdog is (unless ubisoft do an AC 4, which I got for the Wii U) going to have all the bells and whistles of the others with gamepad integration and better visuals then last gen but the the likely outcome is that it is going to be the worst selling version of all platforms given current performance of third party games on it.
@MadAdam81 I have Black Ops 2 as well, the game which didn't get the DLC support like Splinter Cell has done. Also, if we're going by Black Ops 2 as a gauge of third party sales then that doesn't paint a pretty picture for future endeavors on the Wii U
Hate to say this but after Watchdogs, the only third party support we're going to get is from e-shop. And let's be realistic here people, Watchdogs is going to tank on the Wii U just like Splinter Cell Blacklist did. AND don't come back with the nonsense of the local co-op missing cause that's the least used aspect in those type of games, COD on the Wii sold decent and that didn't have local multi-player either!!
Bugger, I'm still trying to get everything in Kid Icarus!

It was a lovely morning and Lily Love was a woman on a mission…she had driven over to her boyfriend's house and headed upstairs, her tiny little skirt sliding up a little to show off that perfect perky butt, to find her man lying in bed waiting for her! She did a sensual sort of a striptease without music, letting her clothes slide down over those gorgeous big breasts and down her legs, then joined the guy in bed taking his cock into her mouth and deepthroating him for a great blowjob! Lily is a cocksucking champeen and shows why in this Passion HD update, taking it all down her throat and staring up at him with those beautiful seductive eyes. Blowjobs alone aren't going to suffice though so soon she's hopping up on top, riding his cock and sliding her perfect round ass up and down as she threw her head back in pleasure, biting her lip! Lily got that sweet tight pussy drilled until the guy couldn't take any more hotness and blew his load, giving her a nice facial that dripped down onto her perky tits.
I guess taking selfies is still quite a popular thing…Natasha White here wanted to take things to a hotter level though so she made some sexy selfies, flashing those perky boobies cand snapping pictures of herself, then roping her boyfriend in to help out! I guess they're no longer selfies at that point, it's more like a hardcore sex tape at that point because he's feeding his cock into her mouth while he films the whole thing. Passion HD brings you this update and Natasha has never looked hotter, sucking dick and wrapping her legs around her man's head to take his cock deep into her shaved pussy, then riding his dick until he shoots a huge load of cum all over her face and hair! I think most girls would be furious to get a bunch of jizz in their hair but not Natasha, I guess she loves anything sexual and this certainly qualifies. Keep an eye out for when she rides that cock while facing the guy, we get a nice look at her sweet tight little ass as she slides her pussy up and down on his prong!
Sexy schoolgirls Natalie Monroe and Ava Taylor were busy doing their homework or at least writing in their notebooks or drawing pictures or something when their mutual guy-pal came home and made them some popcorn. Soon this study session turned into a fun little impromptu party Passion HD style as the girls started tossing popcorn around, then things heated up as Natalie and Ava made out and started exploring each others bodies with their hands while the guy watched! Watching sometimes isn't enough though so he got into the action, letting the girls take turns licking and sucking his big thick cock until he was rock-hard and fucking them both. I don't remember pretty much any of my study sessions in college going like this, that's for damn sure…these studious sluts look fantastic with those sweet round asses in the air and those perky boobies bouncing as they both got their pussies pounded, then took a nice double facial to wind things down! Unless this was an anatomy lesson I don't know that the girls are gonna do very well on their test tomorrow, although they seem to be pretty good at cramming….well, at least at cramming a dick into their tight holes!
Sometimes a girl's just gotta get her body taken care of, especially when it's Alexis Adams after all the stress she puts hers through! It's a nice warm summer day, just perfect for a sensual oil massage with her favorite very attentive masseuse! Passion HD brings you this update called Naughty Massage Appointment as Alexis gets her perfect body oiled up and rubbed, closing her eyes in ecstasy as those talented hands of his ran up and down her skin, squeezing and caressing her big tits and sliding down to tease between her thighs. Soon she had his cock in her mouth, signalling the end of the massage and the beginning of the real action! This guy gave Alexis a nice hard pounding on the massage table to really help her work those kinks out of her muscles, sliding his dick in and out of her sweet tight pussy until he shot his load all over her big breasts and she licked up whatever was left on his cock!
It's always a glorious day when beautiful Lily Love has an update on Passion HD…usually we see this hottie all made up and looking incredibly hot, but even first thing in the morning this babe looks stunning! In this Passion HD update called Sex And Cereal she comes downstairs wearing just her panties and a shirt with her perfect tits hanging out, and as she made breakfast her man wandered in and couldn't resist sliding his hands around her to grab those sweet breasts! Soon the bowls of cereal were forgotten and Lily was on her hands and knees on the couch getting fucked doggystyle with that perfect ass bouncing up and down and her nipples looking like eraserheads ready to cut glass with their perkiness…her man gave her pussy a nice pounding until he couldn't take anymore and had to shoot his load, but Lily wasn't about to let his cum go to waste shooting all over the floor or anything, she dropped to her knees and took a big facial and smiled up at him while she licked his cream off her fingertips!
The incredibly gorgeous August Ames stars in this hot Passion HD update as she goes in for a nice full body rub down, but before she even gets onto the massage table her masseuse is shirtless and making out with her, kissing her passionately and helping take off her shirt to reveal those incredible big perfect boobs of hers…this girl has one of the finest bodies in the industry if you ask me, not to mention the face of a supermodel! She keeps fit and trim with the help of exercise and of course a nice relaxing massage once in awhile, but this one isn't exactly relaxing her…August gets oiled up and rubbed down but soon she's taking advantage of her oil-slick feet to give her masseuse a footjob, rubbing her soles and toes over his hard cock before she gets her nice wet pussy penetrated! August's moans and gasps are sexy as hell as she gets fucked, those big boobs bouncing up and down as he slid his cock into her pink hole until he couldn't take anymore and had to shoot his load…I thought he was going to give her a facial but no, he enjoyed the footjob so much he had her take his cock between her soles again until he came all over her cute feet!
The 4th of July is coming up very shortly and it's time to get out your red white and blue (assuming you're American, that is)! Ava Mendes knows her man is getting all pumped up for the holiday and is ready to celebrate too so she puts on her red white and blue bikini, waving a flag to welcome him home for the long weekend! Soon she's getting her clothes stripped off and is taking care of her guy's big thick cock in this Passion HD update called Patriotic Pictures, although with that tiny little spinner frame of hers I'm not even sure how she gets that whole dick inside her pussy, it looks like she'd be split in half! This hot Latina babe is making her Passion HD debut in this episode and man she's got a nice little body on her with perky little boobies, a meaty wet pussy and an ass that just begs to be fucked! This guy takes the opportunity to do so in this fuck-scene, sliding his thumb and then his cock into her tight backdoor to make her moan…with his big dick buried in that sweet ass it's no wonder he had to shoot his load after just a few minutes, covering Ava's cute face from chin to hairline with his creamy cum while she smiled and waved the American flag around! Happy Independence Day!
Happy birthday to me! Well actually it's not my birthday but it sure feels like it every time we get an Emily Grey update on Passion HD…except my birthday only comes once a year and Emily comes about once a minute in these hot hardcore scenes. This time she wakes up before her man does and heads down under the covers to rouse him in about the sexiest way possible, by licking and sucking his cock until he's up and at 'em! It would be amazing to get woken up like that but it would almost be a shame too because with the covers over her head you can't really get the full effect of Emily's absolutely stunning good looks, especially her beautiful eyes as she stares up at you! I guess that's why this guy tossed the covers and sheets aside as he pulled her up and slid his cock into that perfect pussy, bouncing her up and down on his dick while she moaned with pleasure. If you've never seen a perfect ass before by the way, you're about to fix that because Emily's butt is a thing of absolute hotness! She gets pounded in this scene, bouncing up and down on that beautiful booty, until finally she takes the guy's load into her mouth and onto her face.
The incredible Lily Love doesn't just fuck (well OK sometimes she does just fuck); for her, lovemaking is an experience that is to be savored and explored so she's been looking into the idea of Tantra, and from the looks of things it's doing her just fine! Her man joins her for some nude stretches as they get their bodies working in harmony, then these Tantric Lovers begin taking each other to the heights of physical pleasure as they explore each others' bodies with their fingers, lips and tongues before finally Lily is penetrated…at that point it looks to me like the Tantric idea goes pretty much out the window and Lily just fucks the hell out of the guy because I've heard Tantric sex can last for hours as the participants reach the peaks but never quite go over the edge! Whatever the case, this Passion HD hardcore scene is hot as hell and Lily always looks like a vision with those perfect breasts and that sweet round ass of hers. Her man holds out as best he can but soon he shoots his load all over her gorgeous face, giving her a nice facial to lick up as she looks up at him with her seductive smoldering eyes!
It used to be much more common in porn, but nowadays you just don't see a sexy pillow fight often enough! Passion HD is looking to rectify that in this hot update as Marina Angel and Kacey Jordan start whaling away at each other with pillows as they relaxed on the bed, then got into a hot makeout session like lesbians. I guess the pillows just couldn't take that hotness because when they started bashing each other again they burst at the seams, spraying feathers all over the damn place while the girls just laughed and played! Their guy pal heard the commotion and headed into the bedroom, taken by surprise by all the mess but when he saw those two blonde hotties half-dressed in each others' arms he didn't worry too much about that anymore, he just jumped into bed and proceeded to fuck both of them silly! This fun pillowfight turned into a hot hardcore threeway and Kacey and Marina look like they couldn't be happier about it. Marina's done a few scenes before but this is Kacey's very first Passion HD update and I certainly hope it won't be the last!
It's actually a little creepy how intently this guy was staring at Alexis Adams as ashe got dressed in the bathroom in her sheer white nightie…I thought she was going to go to bed but when she saw the burning gaze her man was giving her while he sat in the tub and the fact that his cock was getting harder and harder as he stared at her huge perfect breasts and that sweet round ass, she decided to hop into the water with him and get soaking wet! I guess she just likes the feeling of that wet slick fabric sliding across her skin, but soon she wanted to get completely naked so she got out of the tub and headed to the bedroom…it's opposite day I guess, usually people do things the other way around! This lucky guy got complete access to that incredible nude body of hers…Alexis has one of the finest female forms in the industry if you ask me and in this Passion HD update you can see why I say that! She gets fucked nice and hard before taking a facial, and even with cum dripping on her face she looks beautiful…pretty amazing girl.
This guy must have a hell of a job to want to leave a sexy girlfriend like Emily Grey at the house every morning! They had planned to have a couples day but apparently what that means is that as soon as he gets home they rip each others clothes off and fuck like fiends…or at least that's what happens in this Passion HD update. I have the hardest time pinning down what nationality Emily Grey is, she's got eyes that look slightly Asian but light skin and freckles and that's about as far as I get before her utter sexiness overwhelms anything I had been trying to think about. It doesn't even help if she turns around either, if anything it gets even worse for my brain because of that perfect round ass of hers! Oh well, who cares what nationality this girl is as long as she's getting naked and getting fucked in that tight pink pussy of hers like she is in this hot scene….she's crazy for cum, too, so she takes a nice creampie in her wet pussy to finish things off on a high note!
The long wait is over, August Ames is back on Passion HD and is looking hotter than ever! She loves taking care of her body and who wouldn't, she's got perfect tits and a perfect ass so when she takes a shower she takes her time soaping up and running her hands all over herself…her man was in the bathroom shaving and whatnot and she started paying a little more attention to her legs and pussy as she kept an eye on him and he wasn't about to let an opportunity like that slip by! Soon they were kissing as she hopped up on the bathroom counter, spreading those long legs to give him easy access to her sweet pink pussy which he licked and tickled with his tongue. Those big boobs of hers are a mind-boggler every time they're on the screen so buckle up the seatbelts on your eyeballs, you're about to take a trip to Augustville and safety cums first! Nobody wants to get into a hard passionate fuck session in the bathroom for too long though when there's a bedroom right around the corner, so soon they were banging on the bed like there's no tomorrow and only stopped when the guy couldn't handle August's tight hole anymore and had to shoot his load into her mouth for a facial. The update is called Well Groomed, by the way, and man it's a smoker.
On your left here I have Dillion Harper sitting on the guys face getting her pussy eaten out. Then I have on the right Tiffany Fox who is playing the part of this guys girlfriend. The name of this episode from Passion HD is called "The Couple That Plays Together" stays together… If you couldn't finish that on your own. The scene starts with Tiffany and her boyfriend sleeping naked together. Dillion comes in and starts to kiss her girlfriends feet and works her way up to her pussy waking her up with some oral sex. The guy just watches them for a bit and he eventually pops some wood and they invite him on in the session. Dillion is tired of eating pussy so she sits on his face while Tiffany rides her boyfriends cock. Once Dillion is wet enough to fit this big dick into her tight pussy she pops off and starts to get fucked by him. Tiffany wants her man to have the best threesome ever so she licks and sucks on his balls as he fucks her friend. The video ends with the two of them working his cock and balls until he cums all over their pretty little faces.
I've gotta say, I'm not entirely sure why this Passion HD update is called Locked Out…usually they're pretty obvious in terms of where the title came from but not this time. It stars beautiful brunette Veronica Radke who was just lounging in bed, relaxing and letting her hands drift all over her body (like she does), and masturbating until this dude showed up to lend a helping hand or helping tongue as the case may be! He licks her pussy through her thin panties to make her moan before stripping her nude and giving her clit a nice tongueboxing…she's not about to let that deed go unrewarded so she drops to her knees, taking his cock in her mouth and licking him hard before getting her sweet pussy fucked! The only thing I can think of is maybe the guy is the next door neighbor who got locked out of his house and came over to use Veronica's phone, but if that's the case and this is how that ended up I'd imagine the guy 'loses' his keys an awful lot!
It's always nice to have a friend when it's time to work out, and that goes double for yoga, at least when you're a horny hottie like Chloe Amour or Nickey Huntsman! These two love to work out together because when their heartrates go up they cool down by making out and licking pussy like lesbians, and that's just what happens in this Passion HD update called Stretching Chloe and Nicky! Their guy pal shows up to give them a little yoga instruction but ends up fucking both of them since they had already stripped each other nude and were passionately kissing when he showed up. This is Nickey's first showing on Passion HD but she looks fucking amazing so I'm sure it won't be her last…Chloe of course basically has her own apartment set up next to the PassionHD headquarters, she's done a ton of updates for them but it's always great to see that exotic sweetheart showing off and getting pounded again.
I just don't know that I'll ever get tired of seeing Emily Grey and her perfect ass…she is absolutely fucking gorgeous with a body from a dream and she loves to show off! In this Passion HD update for instance she was just wandering around the house in her tight white yoga pants when she decided it was time to do a little housekeeping down south, so she headed to the bathroom to whip out the razor and do some pussy shaving. Her man wandered in right as she was finishing up so he got the chance to admire that freshly bald pussy right off the bat…in fact he wanted to get up close and personal to take it for a test drive, so to speak! Watch this beauty get her sweet hole licked and fingered before her man slides his big hard dick inside for a nice fuck session…Emily has those perky little boobies but the real star of the show is her perfect round ass as she bends over to get pounded doggystyle, taking that cock as deep as she could before double-fisting a load out all over her gorgeous face! Look at that mischievous little grin she has after getting that facial…this girl loves knowing she can work a huge load out of any guy, anytime she wants!
Sweet blonde spinner Chloe Foster stars in this Passion HD update called Cooling Down For Hotter Sex as she heads to the bathroom while her man was in the shower, teasing him through the glass as his cock stirred and then joining him in the cool water to have a little wet wild fun! She sucked his cock as the water cascaded down over both of them, then spread her legs to get that pussy licked and fucked as she rode him right there on the tile floor! He gave her a nice pounding as the water sprayed over them both, then did a little spraying of his own as he show his load into Chloe's mouth for her to swallow down. It's hard to tell if the water is heating up a little as they get more into the fucking or if it's just turning into steam as it hits their burning passion as the guy pounds her sweet tight hole! It's hard to think of a girl you'd rather have join you in the shower for a nice spontaneous fuck session on the bathroom floor, am I right or am I right? I mean there might be other pornstars you'd prefer but hell, it's not like you're gonna turn this girl down you know what I'm sayin?
It's been a dog's age since we saw Whitney Westgate show up on Passion HD! I think the last time was this update, so you might want to take a peek there to get your appetite whetted before diving into this new scene called The Art of Pleasure. She starts out giving this guy probably the hottest striptease he has ever seen or ever will see, sliding her panties down over that perfect ass and unleashing her big titties as she shakes her moneymaker in front of his face. No man can withstand that for long so he starts poking a boner, and Whitney loves what she sees…she slides her hands up his legs and grabs his tool through his underwear, tugging them down to give herself full access as she starts to lick and suck this lucky dude! Soon she's on his lap riding him to beat the devil, moaning with her head thrown back as she takes his hard crank as deep as she can manage in that sweet tight pussy of hers. Whitney always looks gorgeous and this is no exception!
Blonde hottie Addison Avery and her girlfriend Natasha White wanted a room with a view so they rented this beautiful penthouse loft, but from the looks of things they only had eyes for each other so the view was sort of wasted…either that or they wanted people outside to be able to watch them getting naked and making out and eating pussy like lesbians! Their guy pal sure seemed to enjoy the view as he walked in on them fucking, and dropped his pants to join in on the fun! The girls took turns licking and sucking his cock in this Passion HD hardcore scene, turning it into a red-hot threesome as these two horny hotties pulled out all their tricks. Even while they got fucked by his big hard cock they couldn't stop licking slit, making each other moan until the guy shot his creamy load all over both of their faces to finish off this steamy threesome!
Sexy stunner Lily Love was relaxing outside in her bikini taking a nap when her tricksy boyfriend showed up and gave her a rude awakening, spraying her with water from the hose…luckily she didn't get too mad, and she also didn't seem to mind too much when he scooped her up and tossed her right into the pool! I guess it was a mighty hot day and she could use a little refreshment, because she got all wet and wild and ready for fun, especially when she saw her man was naked and his cock was stiffening as he looked at her in her swimsuit. Soon she was sitting on the side of the pool with his dick in her mouth, giving him a nice blowjob before sitting on his lap and taking it slowly into her wet pussy! Lily is a legend for good reason, her body is like a dream and she knows how to please a big hard cock, and in this Passion HD update she pulls out all the stops to blow this guy's mind as well as his load! Speaking of blowing his load, he shoots his cum all over that gorgeous face, dripping down onto her lovely titties. Looks like she's been spending some time in the sun, she's got a nice set of tan lines going already and it's not even summer yet! Can't wait to see what this beauty has in store for us.

Surface Effects Measured by Additional Echo Decay in the T2 Hahn Spin-Echo Experiment
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 40, Issue 3, pp. 416-416 (1986)
Acrobat PDF (109 KB)
Natural systems such as oil, rocks, seeds, etc., are porous materials with liquids filling them. The characterization of these and some other similar artificial systems includes estimates of the average size of the cavities in the material. As a model of this type of system, we have studied ground glass particles classified by different mesh, close packed in the presence of benzene. These particles are inert and impermeable, simplifying the analysis.

Video: Alan Moore's From Hell
James Parker shares a climactic scene from the film adaptation of Alan Moore's Jack the Ripper story
When time travel has reached the mass-transit stage, and we're all trundling in bored herds up and down the escalators of history, it will be a banality verging on bad manners to complain of "chrono-lag." By then, you see, everyone will have it—the fourth-dimensional halo around the vision, the rumor of the dead in one's ears, and so on.
For the moment, though, sensations like these remain the preserve of the artist. Indeed, a susceptibility to being steeped in time, as a long-haul flier is steeped in distance, can give a writer a serious creative edge: Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five was born of it, as were most of the novels of Philip K. Dick. "Time is the substance of which I am made," wrote Jorge Luis Borges, whose stories seemed to issue from the lucid core of a particularly nasty intertemporal hangover.
He could just as well have been writing about Alan Moore, latest and most wizardly (more on this later) of the literary time-tamperers, whose shadow over pop culture is currently longer than those of Vonnegut, Dick, and Borges combined. The recent film adaptation of Watchmen, an '80s comic-book series with the top-to-bottom social sweep of a 19th-century novel, is the fourth movie in a decade to be based on Moore's work. The previous three were From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and V for Vendetta; Moore also invented the character on whom 2005's Constantine was based, and his nightmarish take on the Joker, in the 1988 Batman comic book The Killing Joke, was cited by Heath Ledger as a model for the performance he gave in The Dark Knight. Moore is still short of Dick's record—nine movies and counting—but he's made a healthy start; his output is comparably voluminous, and unlike Dick (who died in 1982, just before the release of Blade Runner), he's still in his prime.
Moore is a comics writer. He doesn't draw the pictures, in other words, although the hallucinatory specificity of his scripts is proverbial in the comics industry: for the very first panel of Watchmen, his directions to the artist, Dave Gibbons, run to almost 700 words. ("Liquid fingers of blood, thick and scarlet, dribble down the wall of the curb … garish streaks of brilliant red against the muted concrete-gray of the stone …") If part of the enterprise of comics writers over the past 30 years has been to reclaim and reinterpret an earlier, apparently exhausted symbolic world, then Moore has been the high priest of this postmodern ritual. Much of the action in his writing takes place on a sort of pop-cultural astral plane, a zippy mythic simultaneity where robots and white witches team up against Nazi scientists (Top 10: The Forty-Niners), H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain battles Conan Doyle's Moriarty (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), and Jack the Ripper takes tea with the Elephant Man (From Hell). Collage, pastiche, intertextuality—the arsenal of postmodernism, deployed instinctively—are merely the means by which Moore gains access to this dream layer.
He was born in 1953 in Northampton, in Britain's Midlands—the part of the world that produced John Bunyan as well as Black Sabbath. His 1996 novel, Voice of the Fire, drills upward through the imaginative strata of the region like a heavy-metal Puck of Pook's Hill, beginning in 4000 B.C. in the lumpy, embryonic language of a neolithic boy—"By tree-line stop and set we down on stump"—and ending, via alchemists and crusaders, with the author himself in his Northampton living room, in 1995, groping for his remote amid "the permafrost of magazine and empty teacup." The operation of the book puts Moore squarely in the midst of place-obsessed, history-haunted writers such as the novelist and biographer Peter Ackroyd, the veteran fabulist Michael Moorcock, and the "psycho-geographer" Iain Sinclair: what might be defined as the contrary tendency in present-day English letters to the Amis/Hitchens/McEwan rationalist headlock. At the wellspring of inspiration, for this more mystical set, is William Blake—"the voice of our Right Brain, the mind's Atlantis," as he is hailed in From Hell—whose blazing self-published proto-comics full of interdimensional warfare and fantastic musculature were, of course, completely ignored in his lifetime. Ackroyd wrote a fine Blake biography that was published in 1995; Moore has done performance pieces and recorded a CD in Blake's honor. In the graphic novel The Invisibles, by Moore's contemporary Grant Morrison, Blake's Urizen emerges gray-faced from the River Thames, like Poseidon after a heavy night.
Moore and his crew are dowsers, scryers, remote viewers, rambling around inside the occult power grid supposedly delineated by the six London churches of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor. They meet not at publishers' luncheons but on psychic tangents. Jerry Cornelius, the Byronic time-hopper created by Moorcock, makes a cameo in Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; in Sinclair's 2005 travelogue Edge of the Orison, a pilgrimage in the traces of 19th-century peasant poet John Clare, Moore himself briefly appears as a guide, "curtain of hair tossed back, snakehead stick brandished."
This might be a good moment to mention that Moore is also a practicing magician—which is to say, he performs rituals, and summons entities. "The first experience I had," he told Arthur magazine in 2003,
and this is very difficult to describe, but it felt to me as if me and a very close friend of mine, were both taken on this ride by a specific entity. The entity seemed to me, and to my friend, to be … [sighs] … to be this second-century Roman snake god called Glycon.
Moore's magicking has entered his writing most didactically in the comic Promethea: Book Four of the series gives readers a guided tour of the kabbalistic Tree of Life, roosting in whose branches we find 20th-century magi such as Aleister Crowley (in drag) and the late artist Austin Osman Spare. The apparent paradox presented here—a droll postmodernist who worships at the altar of Glycon—is, within the world of comics, no paradox at all.

HOU has already proven a well rounded team can handle them, making them a weak #1 seed IMO.
So if fans like us can sense this, the players must surely do. Again, going back to NE/JAX, alot of people like pointing out we should be OK since JAX was able to move the ball at will. Do we really want to give that sense of confidence to other teams? Just imagine if NE struggles this week against MIA. Everyone will be talking about how they will be easy pickings in the playoffs.
Belichick runs up the score to demoralize opponents, and to send a message to the rest of the league, in essence saying 'this is going to be you'. I'm not saying we should have Manning in there with 4 minutes left in a 45-3 game, but I wouldn't mind seeing a performance that tells the league they're in for a world of hurt playing us either.
It's the playoffs all that stuff goes out the window. Win you keep playing lose and you go home, it's that cut and dried.

MakerBot launches smaller Replicator Mini and huge Z18 3D printers
In creating its fifth generation of 3D printers, MakerBot has gone for the gusto. No longer is there simply a single printer from the popular 3D printing company, but three. Those of you looking to upgrade your 3D printing workshop or who are looking to get into the 3D printing game for the first time will have some serious options to consider.
This year, alongside a re-tooled MakerBot Replicator, you'll find the compact MakerBot Replicator Mini and the hulking MakerBot Replicator Z18, named for its impressive build height. All three of this year's printers will be supported by Makerbot's brand new lineup of apps and an online store where you can purchase high quality models of other people's creations.
As for the new printers, the diminutive Replicator Mini is both the cheapest and smallest, but that doesn't make it any less worthy. With a build volume of 3.9 inches long by 3.9 inches wide and 4.9 inches tall, you'll get a good build size for printing out small parts and toys. At 200 microns, the minimum build height is a little less than ideal, but perfectly workable for an entry-level machine.
The Mini also skimps on the on-board LCD screen that MakerBot's larger printers now come equipped with. That said, if you're just looking to have some fun with an easy-to-use, reliable 3D printer, the Replicator Mini could be the little machine you're looking for. At $1,375, it's also the cheapest of MakerBot's new printers by a long shot.
The Replicator Z18 stands in stark contrast to its Mini buddy. With a build volume nearly 35 times the size of the Mini, the Z18 can handle objects up to 18 inches tall and up to a foot in length and width. All that space also comes with a refined minimum print height of 100 microns, meaning that you're much more likely to end up with smooth surfaces at the end of a job.
The Z18 can be used entirely independent of a computer, thanks to its built-in LCD screen. From the printer itself you can navigate the Thingiverse community, MakerBot's new apps and files you've downloaded onto a flash drive. The Z18 is also the only MakerBot to offer a heated build chamber to ensure high-quality prints every time. All this functionality and ease of use does come at a high price. The Z18 will run you $6,499, a hefty sum when compared to almost any of the other 3D printer options out there. Both the Replicator Mini and the Replicator Z18 will begin shipping sometime during the spring, so at least you have time to start saving before they hit the street.
