Barrel Bayou is the first level of the swamp area, Krem Quay.
Barrel Bayou is the first swamp stage of Krem Quay. It features murky surroundings, plant life growing everywhere, and several barrel cannons. Barrel Bayou mostly serves to introduce Diddy and Dixie to the swamp, with several basic enemies, simple platforming involving getting from one boardwalk to the other, and barrel cannon segments. The Kloak enemy makes its debut here. Kloak are mysterious floating minions of Kaptain K. Rool that appear at several points throughout the walking areas, and tosses projectiles and enemies at the Kongs.
Rambi the Rhinoceros is available in this level, and is found by jumping over the first Zinger, then onto a Krochead, and finally leaping to a small little boardwalk containing his Animal Crate. He is best used to dispose of any Zingers or Kloaks in the way. By getting Rambi to the No Animal Sign, the heroes are awarded a DK Coin.
- Neek: 9
- Klomp: 1
- Flitter: 1 (2 more in a bonus room)
- Kloak: 10
- Krochead: 1
- Zinger: 11 (1 more in a bonus room)
- Klobber: 4
- Click-Clack: 3
- Banana Coin: 2
- No Animal Sign: 1
- DK Coin: Get past the "No Animal Sign" with Rambi.
- Treasure Chest: 2
- Kannonball: 2
- Green Extra Life Balloon: 1, in a treasure chest thrown by a Kloak.
- K-O-N-G Letters:
- K: Above the first rotatable barrel cannon.
- O: Underneath a Zinger.
- N: Floating on a Kloak that throws some Click-Clacks. Once he throws some Click-Clacks, he will float away and the letter is accessible.
- G: Hovering near some bananas during the segment where the Kongs cross the swamp via cannon barrel that shoots vertically.
- Photograph: In the Game Boy Advance remake, the photo can be found by jumping on the Krockhead after the first Zinger in the level.
- Golden Feather: In the GBA remake, it is found in between two Rotatable Barrel Cannons while normally progressing through the level.
- Barrels:
- DK Barrel: 5
Bonus Levels[edit]
- Destroy Them All! -- To access this bonus stage, Diddy and Dixie will have to follow a Kloak that comes after the No Animal Sign until he drops a Treasure Chest containing a Kannonball. This kannonball must be put into the Kannon to be transported to the level. Once in the level, the Kongs will have 15 seconds to use a nearby Kannonball to defeat two Flitters and a Zinger above them. After accomplishing this, their Kremkoin is in the right corner.
- Find The Token! -- The heroes will have twenty seconds to reach the other side of the swamp area. They must use the rotating barrel cannons in order to make it across.

Lynnaii should stop procrastinating
~ I'm grateful that some of my teachers from last quarter have not forgotten who I am (like most of my previous teachers are prone to do).
~ I'm grateful that my parents are always so relieved to hear from me when I call them before I call them just to check in (late classes).
~ I'm grateful for striking up more conversations with classmates, even if they're short and/or leading nowhere. It's a step to breaking out of this newly formed shell I have on and it is a step to getting to know more people and expanding my social circle, which is another goal of mine!
~ I'm grateful that I'm from Hawaii because it makes a good conversation-starter.
~ I'm grateful for good music I can listen to while studying!

Lt. Saavik: Permission to speak candidly, sir.Our hero is executing an impossible mission. It's full of action and adventure, and he gets to show off how heroic he is, but at the last minute, something unexpected goes badly — often ridiculously so. The alarm goes off, the hero's weapons and equipment malfunctions, and his team mates dies screaming as they are picked off one by one by something large and scary. The last thing the hero sees is the killer robot swooping down to off him and... Computer, end program. It was all just a simulation, training exercise, or Dream Sequence. In most cases, The Hero steps outside to discuss what he did wrong with the simulation operator, who will point out, "If this had been an actual emergency, you'd be dead." The rest of the episode will typically focus on his overcoming whatever character flaw prevented him from succeeding in simulation. If the simulation is truly supposed to be unbeatable, the focus will be on the character learning to accept the fact that sometimes you just can't win. This is typically used as the first scene of an episode or film (though it may also come between the planning and execution phases of an Impossible Mission story), as an easy way of introducing the viewer to the kind of danger the main character(s) might experience on a regular basis. It will feel like In Medias Res, except that it's not really part of the main storyline. Such a scene shows that the character is not invincible but has a critical flaw which might lead to his demise later without actually affecting the plot. This will cause additional suspense later on when the character inevitably gets into a similar "real" situation and must show that he overcame this flaw (or is able to find a clever workaround for it). Occurs most often in Speculative Fiction, series about teams of criminals, series set in the military, and shows about ninjas. Sometimes leads to a Training Accident plot, if the people involved don't know it's not real. An Unwinnable Training Simulation may double as an Hidden Purpose Test, often of how the trainees deal with unwinnable situations. If this type of scenario is featured at the beginning of an episode, the character flaw the rest of the episode focuses on will either be the character's own pride or inability to accept that sometimes, crap happens. Occasionally, this will be subverted in that the character will win the scenario, by 'cheating' (which is how Kirk in both The Wrath of Khan and the 2009 reboot became the only cadet to ever win). A type of False Crucible. See also Endless Game and Secret Test of Character. If the simulation becomes legitimately dangerous, that's a Holodeck Malfunction. If the simulation was legitimately dangerous all along, it's Deadly Training Area. If the situation is not a simulation, but instead a real life situation where the character is set up to fail, it may be A Lesson In Defeat.
Admiral Kirk: Granted.
Saavik: I don't believe this was a fair test of my command abilities.
Kirk: And why not?
Saavik: Because... there was no way to win.
Kirk: A no-win situation is a possibility every commander may face. [...] How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?
Saavik: (stiffly) As I indicated, Admiral, that thought had not occured to me.
Kirk: Well, now you have something new to think about. Carry on.

CHICAGO, August 3, 2011—Former Illinois governor and convicted felon Rod Blagojevich will have his sentencing hearing on Oct. 6. He faces up to 300 years in prison on various corruption charges. He will probably receive between 6-1/2 and 15 years.
Raping, pillaging, and plundering the public trust is not treated the same as other heinous crimes.
The hirsute governor's attorney claims Blagojevich will testify at his sentencing hearing. What is he going to say? He worked hard for the people of Illinois? He was the people's governor? We've heard all that before.
There are indications that people will testify on his behalf. Who? There are no Friends of Blagojevich. Where were these people when he needed to pay his legal bills? The U.S. Government, us, the people, the tax payers, had to pay for his attorneys.
For some reason politicians do not have to sell their homes, other real estate, or empty their bank accounts and retirement funds to pay their legal bills. Unlike the rest of us, politicians don't have to be bankrupted when accused of federal crimes. They are a protected class.
Rod Blagojevich is the poster boy for every thing that is wrong with politics in the United States. A dilettante pretender and political machine hack. If ever a person was unfit to hold public office it was Rod Blagojevich.
Blagojevich married into the infamous Chicago Democratic Machine. A culture and cornucopia of corruption. He was an incompetent attorney who would not be able to keep his wife in the manner she was accustomed.
Her independently wealthy father is a very powerful politician. Rod needed a good paying job. What better jobs than a state legislator, U.S. Congressman, and governor.
If you are a member of the Chicago Machine you do not need talent or intelligence to run for public office. You don't even have to campaign. All you have to do is show up to take the oath of office- sober, with your shoes tied and your fly zipped. The machine does the rest. They get you on the ballot, they drum up the votes, and they get you elected. How do you think Barack Obama got elected to the state legislature and U.S. Senate?
Blagojevich was the ultimate ghost payroller. He did nothing, never showed up at the office, and cost the taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars to boot. So, who could testify to his greatness? Who could testify that he should walk the streets in a few years like a predatory jackal?
This slubberdegullion, and all political scoundrels, rapscallions, and scalawags, should get the maximum sentence for any crime they commit. They should be held to the highest standards of conduct and the highest levels of justice.
If Blagojevich is facing 300 hundred years then 300 hundred years he should get. There should be no mitigating circcumstances for political corruption.
Bernie Madoff is in prison until the day he dies, and probably beyond, for violating the trust of people who should have known better. Bernie Madoff was held to a higher standard than pedophiles and serial killers. But, he did not violate the public trust.
If Madoff could be sentenced to eternal life in prison why can't politicians?
Why should they get a break? Why should there be mitigating circumstances? Who cares how many people he allegedly helped? Who cares if he loved his parents, is a good husband and father, helps elderly people cross the street, and goes to church on Sunday? Who cares about his record of achievements as an elected official?
He was convicted of corruption. He should go down hard.
Rod Blagojevich, and any elected official, should get the maximum sentence if they are convicted of corruption. A violation of the public trust is a heinous crime. They should get these draconian sentences to set an an example for others. Others who may, just may, think twice before sticking our their grubby hands for the kachingos.
There should be no pity, no mercy, and no humanity.

A GREAT Product!
By The Boss
from Niagara
There seemed to be so much hype about this entire line that I stayed away from it for years. But I was desperate to find a product that could help with melasma and I truly believe that I have found it here. If you can believe it, I was so desperate to be rid of these unsightly markings on my face that I followed someone, a doctor, on Facebook who,as a naturalist suggested using plain old horseradish on those mottled skin patches. Well, I tried it and it burned so much it made me cry and my skin was fiery red afterwards. I'm all for natural remedies, but not if it hurts. I now have tried this product and it is superb.In less than a week I have noticed a tremendous difference in my skin and those unsightly marks are beginning to fade and with no pain at all. I have to say I'm hooked on this line.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was gifted with an the line as a birthday gift. I didn't love this. It is too heavy for Oily Skins. It has castor oil, citrus oils and hydrogenated vegetable oils in it. Packaging: The jar leaves the product open to contamination.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

this is the ultimate resurfacing cream for sensitive skin. I will not go without this wonderful night cream. I was having so many problems in the winter with eczema and dry flaky skin and I started putting this on top of my night time serums and treatments and within one week of use the dead skin was gone. the fact that it is so effective yet so gentle was a life saver for me. No more need for eczema prescriptions from the dr. I also use the glycolic cleanser from this line and the gommage. As someone with sensitive skin this line has been a real skin saver for me. Thanks TSC for the serious skin line.regards Carolyn

I read and watched a few I'm not turned off or hate them they just don't fit my style. but that's just my opinion, but I can more then see why people like them so much. those are things you can't just go into public and talk about. I do feel like they are a great addition to the manga/anime world. these more then enough people reading and watching them to show they are highly liked.

For H-manga and doujins: Many are great, many are trash. Pretty much the same as regular manga. I search H-manga sites on a daily basis just in case. Also, most H-Anime are trash, so no, don't watch those at all.
Eroge: Play some, sadly most great ones go untranslated for years, and sometimes are never translated, which makes me sad.
For Nico x Maki; Got into them after seeing them together so often in most official arts, then when I saw that scene in the Mogyutto PV, instant shipping. Then afterwards stumbled upon some of the doujins Yuri-ism translated and the shipping got stronger. I am so freaking happy of how much more they have been together in the Anime lately, so many hnnnnnnng moments!! >w<
My OTP is KyouSaya (Kyouko x Sayaka) from Madoka Magica tho, can't find any other pairings to be more beautiful than them. Nico Maki is pretty close on second place, but just don't come as close.
Yeah i totally agree with you.. there are lots of great hentai/doujins and bad ones in each genre of hentai/doujins. I pretty much read them every night but im picky with what i read. mostly vanilla which tend to include wincest and other stuff. but i also explore trap and ntr and the rest of the genres. I have many favorite artists such as NAPATA and homunculus.
I too love me some kyouko x sayaka. For them it was the fan art that started it and later intensified when I began to see them together more frequently in the anime, the 2 remake movies, and the rebellion movie. Yurism's translations maxed out my ship for both nico x maki and
kyouko x sayaka >.<
Same, sometimes I just click next page, next page, and next page, and about an hour has passed before I decide if there's anything I really want to read. Vanilla is best especially if Yuri, Wincest vanilla being second best. I have tried reading rape and ntr, but I just don't get what's so attractive about it. I read trap if it's trap x girl, yaoi is a big no for me.
I tend to forget artist's names, even popular, non-H artists. My favorite doujin artists are obviously:
Momoya Chika, MuraMuraPocky, Ooshima Tomo, and Amaro Tamaro. Natsushi's latest Toki x Ryuuka doujin was very beautiful, so definitely gonna have to check out their other works.
I do have some het-H artists I like, but I don't remember their names right now. Clearly vanilla loli artists tho.
Ahh, the KyouSaya scenes in Rebellion were too great. Don't know how many times I repeated that confession scene when they were fighting for Homura. Too great!! Was also great to hear the two were living together!! >w<
Seriously, many thanks to Yuri-ism and their hard work. Really hoping for some nice doujins to be translated after this summer's Comiket.

Electric vehicles to make Star Wars sound effects for safety
One of the major safety concerns with electric vehicles is that they don't make a lot of noise, and as such pedestrians and other motorists don't get the same audio cues that warn of an approaching car. That, combined with the fact that you probably wouldn't expect a silent car to be driving around — until EVs become more common, that is — makes for a lot of accidents that don't need to happen.
With a big push for electric vehicles right around the corner, lawmakers in the U.S., Europe and Japan are looking into how to allay the safety worries associated with this noiselessness. One solution: have the electric cars emit made-up sounds. These could be anything from an approximation of a good ol' gas guzzler to, randomly, Star Wars sound effects.
There's something uniquely terrifying about the idea of a TIE fighter screech being what you hear right before getting into an accident.
Researchers at the University of Warwick in the U.K. are currently conducting tests to see what kinds of sounds pedestrians respond to the quickest, and if an EV should feature a set of warning sounds that distinguish it from a regular car. "We will have a week with music and weeks with natural sounds, engine noise and also with science-fiction sounds," Warwick professor Paul Jennings told the Daily Mail.
"[Pedestrians] think they are reacting to the sight of a vehicle, but often it is the sound that is triggering their attention," Jennings continued, adding, "Sound also tells you whether the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating."
So, in the near future, when you're purchasing an electric car, you may have to decide on more than just the color of your upholstery in how you want the car to sound.

Paul; Your points are taken and have been taken before you mentioned them. Of course the jobs will be located in Labrador. How much municipal infrastructure, residential constructiions and lasting municipal/local business benefit will come from a maximum 5 - 6 year project? My comments (ok, not spelled out perhaps) were to do with long term lasting benefits that Labrador should (as anyone anywhere should form such a development) be able to count on from destroying a river (taking away tourism, forestry, perhaps mining opportunities) and building something purely for the benefit of EXPORTING power. Don't you think we should be able to use some for benefit of all the communities HERE as well as benefitting ALL OF ATLANTIC CANADA. Wouldn't that be just fair?

LLoyd...where are the majority f the jobs going to be? Labrador!!! I think it would be safe to assume that many of the benefits from the work in Labrador will benefit Labrador including the long term jobs and maintenance for the site. So please tell me how this will not give any benefit to Labrador. I see short and long term benefits.

Good for ALL of Atlantic Canada? Clearly you are not aware that even though this project is being built by destroying a river in Labrador, there are currently NO PLANS for Labradorians to be allowed any of this power. Last I figured we were part of Atlantic Canada. Way to go PEI, I hope it feels nice for you to be helping subject us the same treatment we get from Nfld. thanks a lot.

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) contains 10% of the world's population and 60% of all people living with AIDS. Consequently, research investigating risk factors associated with HIV acquisition is a public health priority and one such risk factor is alcohol consumption. This article is a review of empirical studies on the association of alcohol and high-risk sexual behavior in SSA, with a focus on measurable outcomes generated from quantitative data. A critique of the literature is provided, with attention to methodological concerns. Empirically based theoretical orientations were used to interpret the reviewed research and to stimulate discussion about how to improve the state of the current literature. Based on this discussion, a model of alcohol and high-risk sexual behavior in an African context is proposed in order to integrate the existing literature and highlight areas in need of continued research.

The Social Psychology Program at NSF supports basic research on human social behavior, including cultural differences and development over the life span.
Among the many research topics supported are: attitude formation and change, social cognition, personality processes, interpersonal relations and group processes, the self, emotion, social comparison and social influence, and the psychophysiological and neurophysiological bases of social behavior.
The scientific merit of a proposal depends on four important factors: (1) The problems investigated must be theoretically grounded. (2) The research should be based on empirical observation or be subject to empirical validation. (3) The research design must be appropriate to the questions asked. (4) The proposed research must advance basic understanding of social behavior.

Didn't notice any spectacular results with this, although I may not have persisted long enough. I wonder if it's just as effective to eat lots of cilantro and take some pressed chlorella tablets.

How Get the Most Out of the Child Tax Credit in 2014
NEW YORK (MainStreet) The child tax credit offers could offer big savings for moms and dads just by claiming the deduction on your IRS Form 1040 or 1040A.
Certified Public Accountant groups and the Internal Revenue Service have tips on getting the maximum allowable benefit from it a list every taxpaying parent in America should review:
What you can get. Under the provisions of the Child Tax Credit, parents can slash their federal income tax by up to $1,000 for each qualifying child under the age of 17.
Who qualifies. A qualifying son or daughter must pass six criteria to get the credit: age, relationship, support, dependent status, citizenship and residence.To get the Child Tax Credit, a child must either be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister or a descendant of any of these people, including your grandchild, niece or nephew. An adopted child is always treated as your own child. The "50% rules" To earn the child credit, the son or daughter must not have provided more than half of their own support for the tax year in question. That's probably not an issue with a 16-year-old, but check any income statements your son or daughter may have from a job just in case. Also, a son or daughter must have lived with a parent for more than half of the tax year in question. For a short list of exceptions, check out IRS Publication 972, Child Tax Credit.
- For married taxpayers filing a joint return, the phase-out begins at $110,000. For married taxpayers filing a separate return, it begins at $55,000.
- For all other taxpayers, the phase-out begins at $75,000. Also, the credit is generally limited by the amount of the income tax owed by the parents, as well as any alternative minimum tax owed.

The Affordable Care Act gave states the option to create their own website for comparing and buying insurance policies, or using the federal system. The State of Florida has selected to use the federal system, which is called the Federally-Facilitated Marketplace (FFM), otherwise known as the "Marketplace" or "Exchange". To participate with the Marketplace, insurance companies must be a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) approved by the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
Update: Health First's application to be a Qualified Health Plan is currently pending approval.
Starting in October 2013, you will be able to access the Federal Marketplace for Florida website to see what health plans are available in your area, find out if you're eligible for financial assistance to help pay for your plan, get quotes for the cost of each plan, and apply for an insurance policy.
Update: The Affordable Care Act also requires the Marketplace to allow small businesses the opportunity to compare and choose coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). This year, small business will be able to select a carrier and plan but the "Shop and Compare" feature will be delayed until next year.
To choose and buy an individual/family policy, you can:
You can also ask a "Navigator" for help understanding your options. Navigators may be employed by the federal government or an agency that has received grants or funds to help people learn more about healthcare reform and understand their coverage options. In Florida, Navigators are not licensed to sell insurance policies-they can only help you understand the benefits and the trade-offs of the coverage being offered.
Also, since some employers may drop group health coverage from their employee benefits package, they may offer educational sessions to help employees transition to individual/family coverage.
While healthcare reform brings new requirements (or a "mandate") for all American citizens and legal residents to have health insurance, it also makes it easier for more people to get coverage, regardless of their medical history.
Beginning January 1, 2014, anyone (children and adults) with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied coverage, or charged higher premiums because of their medical history. You also cannot be charged more because of your gender. Premiums will only be based on these four factors:
Effective January 1, 2014, all individual/family health plans and those sold to small businesses must include a complete package of "essential health benefits":
Also, preventive services are covered 100% with no cost share (you don't have to pay any copay, coinsurance, or meet a deductible before the service is covered). These benefits include:
Lifetime coverage limits were eliminated in 2012, and in 2014 annual dollar limits will go away.
To help people do an "apples-to-apples" comparison and choose their coverage more easily, policies sold through the Marketplace will have standardized plan names, essential benefits (listed above), and coverage levels:
Catastrophic plans with limited coverage are also available for individuals aged 21-30 who can prove financial hardship.
Some insurance companies, including Health First, may have additional plans available for sale outside of the Marketplace, and may also add extra benefits above and beyond what is required.
If you do not currently have coverage, you can enroll in a new plan during the Annual Open Enrollment Period-October 1 to December 15, 2013-and your coverage will be effective on January 1, 2014. You can also enroll between January 1 and March 31, 2014, and your coverage would begin the first or second month after you enrollment information is submitted and approved.
If you currently have coverage, that coverage may affect when you can enroll in a new plan. Most policies are in effect for one year, so if you have coverage that began sometime during 2013 and want to keep it until it ends, you can. If you don't want to keep it, you can review the plans on the Federal Marketplace for Florida and select a plan that starts on January 1, 2014. If you choose to stay enrolled in your current plan you will be eligible to enroll in a new plan on the anniversary of your coverage renewal. Whatever you decide, your future coverage will renew and be updated effective on January 1 of each year based on choices you are able to make during the annual open enrollment period (October through December).
There are also other special circumstances that may allow you to enroll other times during the year, for example:
Most people want to have health insurance, but simply can't afford it. And they worry about paying a penalty if they don't buy insurance next year.
One of the biggest parts of healthcare reform is financial assistance to help make insurance more affordable for people who earn up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
You may also qualify for tax credits if you have an employer-sponsored plan and the cost for employee-only coverage exceeds 9.5 percent of your income.
The discount that helps cover the cost of premiums is called the Advance Payments of the Premium Tax Credit (APTC), and the Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR) helps reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Remember: You must use the Marketplace to see if you qualify for financial assistance, and if you do qualify, you must buy your policy through the Marketplace.
People eligible for public health coverage or Medicaid are not eligible for APTCs.

We made the decision to paint the entire house before we moved in (which sounded like such a good idea at the time) and to a no idea nancy it seemed really easy..just buy paint right? and brush it on! like painting a canvas? uhhh...no! Thankfully my partners dad is superman at painting and basically did the house for us probably because it was painful for him to watch me push the roller all over the wall in a random fashion, i have a few before and after pictures ill share with you when the house becomes a little more like a human living space than a place where boxes go to die.
So in my mind painting was going to be a blast wearing a pretty dress perched on top of paint tins and balancing oh so delicately off ladders while the wall basically paints itself! (kidding)
Instead i made friends with my comfy target flats, was ok about not washing my hair for a week or so, gave up on hoping my nails would survive and enjoyed getting a little dirty!
Owning a house has been alot of hard work so far but im loving it! im so excited to have a place of our own!
Posting will now resume and i can get back to regular medium paced life huzzah!
