Bad business practice by Timothy S - 11/01/2014
The light palace ordered the wrong light for us then wants to charge us a 25% restocking fee. This is bad business and Natalie was t he salesperson who ordered our light wrong but will not take responsibility for her mistake. We will never do business with the Light Palace again.

My great-great grandmother was born Agnes Legue in Chatham, Ontario, CAN, 1854, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Legue and Margaret Matthew. Family tradition says Margaret was an Indian, but I haven't found a record. Agnes came to Mt. Clemens, Michigan in 1869 and married a distant cousin, Oliver Legue. His parents were Oliver Legue, b. 1825 in Michigan, and Angela Martell, born in Canada. Would like to swap information on these two families with others searching the same lines.

Politicians in Lebanon get physical, fighting on live TV
As the world marvels at two politicians in Lebanon getting into a fight, here are some clips to remind you that a sucker punch knows no bounds, even among officials.
November 16, 2011 4:18 by Precious de Leon
This is TV gold. The clip you see above is the kind of minute-by-minute play we secretly wish political channels like America's 24-hour C-span would be like. (It sure would garner a lot more viewership this way.)
In this 59-second clip that the Guardian has conveniently subtitled for some of us non-Arabic speakers, Former Lebanon MP Mustafa Alloush (part of the anti-Syrian movement headed by Lebanon's Former Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri) and Fayez Shukor (head of the Lebanon branch of the ruling Baath party in Syria), get into a heated argument that escalates into physical combat that starts with throwing glasses of water and ended in one of them using a chair for battle.
This aggressive style of politicking is apparently not uncommon in Lebanon, though most are confined to verbal combat. Lebanese Political Blog, Qifa Nabki, lists its top five favourite political rumbles. Its top pick is Alloush vs Shukor. (see clip above).
But most on the list are just verbal fights. The one that seems to come close to fisticuffs is a heated debate between Ibrahim Kan'aan and Mosbah al-Ahdab (video is from 2006). The sound quality is very poor on this one so skip to about half of the video to get to the juicy part, if you don't want to slog through it.
But of course we at Kipp now, these clips have merely fueled your curiosity. Which other politicians are taking the term 'long arm of the law' a little too literally, you ask? Here's a series of clips from around the world just for you:
Czech Republic
MD Miroslav Macek (former vice-chairman of the strongest right wing party in Czech Republic) slapped MD David Rath (former minister of healthcare and member of the strongest left wing party in the Czech Republic) right before he started his speech during a congress of dentists. Macek was ordered to pay $5,500 for the affront.
You have to know that earlier that year (2006), during an interview, Rath had accused Macek of marrying his wife for money. Soon after, Macek responded through the media saying he would "handle it just like men do". From this video, looks like he made good on the promise. (video with English subtitles)
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Sindh President Naeem ul Haq throws a glass at Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah's adviser Jamil Soomro, after a debate on who's not doing their job right. (the hotspot at 1:00)
A session in Parliament in Kenya goes awry as politicians get into what the voiceover aptly describes as a "furious filibuster".
A ruling party lawmaker throws a shoe at the speaker of Taiwan's Legislature amid other colleagues engaged in protracted pushing and shoving, as the final day of the winter legislative session dissolved into disarray.
There's quite a bit online if you've got the time. But before you go on procrastina-erm-we mean researching, here's a compilation of politicians getting into fights around the world:

Here Are the Credit Card Companies We Complain About Most
NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau launched a complaint database in November 2011, and it collected more than 25,000 complaints through mid-September 2013. A report released Jan. 14 by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group summarized some of the findings.
The credit card issuer that got the most complaints was Capital One, with 5,265 or 21% of the complaints. That was followed by Citibank at 18%, then Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase at 13% each.
When you look at the number of complaints based on the purchase volume, though, GE Capital ranks lowest among issuers. GE Capital got 88 complaints for every $1 billion in transactions -- much higher than the other companies. Capital One, by comparison, got only 46 complaints for every $1 billion.
The good news is that approximately 40% of account holders who registered a complaint with the CFPB have had their problems resolved since filing the complaint. Roughly 29% got some type of refund from their credit card company, with an average refund of $128.
The most common complaint concerned billing disputes (16% of the total complaints), followed by difficulties with APR or interest rates (10%) and trouble with identity theft, fraud and embezzlement (7%).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Knoxville attorney files for bankruptcy
A prominent Knoxville attorney has filed for bankruptcy protection.
Robert Worthington Jr., filed for Chapter 7 protection last week. Worthington is of counsel with Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz and has long-standing ties to former United States Sen. Howard Baker.
In 1994, the firm of Baker, Worthington, Crossley & Stansberry merged with a Memphis law office to create what was the state's largest law practice at the time.
According to a petition filed with U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Worthington has estimated assets between $500,000 and $1 million, while his estimated liabilities are between $1 million and $10 million.
In an interview, the attorney blamed the bankruptcy filing on "financial investments which have not come through, primarily, I guess, because of this economic climate."

Cesare Prandelli named his Azzurri starting 11 yesterday and he will hope his side can build some momentum as they prepare to begin their World Cup campaign.

The Azzurri will tonight be going for their first win in eight matches.

Kick-off at the Estadio Silvio Raulino de Oliveira is at 21.30 BST.

doing good
Posted by Mark J. Miller on July 27, 2011 10:00 AM
A former employee at Toronto's Whole Foods may think the place is a "faux hippy Wal-Mart," as he mentioned in his extremely nasty, mass-emailed, 2,000-word resignation letter to all of the store's thousands of employees, but that's not stopping the company from fostering its wholesome image and starting up a charitable organization.
The Associated Press reports that the organic grocer's newly established philanthropic arm, the Whole Kids Foundation, "aims to provide children with access to healthy foods." The plan is to "work with schools, educators, and other organizations to help improve children's food choices," the report adds.
With a mission to "support schools and inspire families to improve children's nutrition," the first project the foundation will engage in is to follow in the footsteps of First Lady Michelle Obama and support teaching gardens this fall, so that kids can get a better sense of the food they eat by taking part in the growing process.
In so doing, Whole Foods joins the vast array of brands such as Walmart and Walgreen's that are already helping the First Lady's campaign to fight childhood obesity by promoting nutrition and active lifestyles.
"We are excited to formalize our commitment to improving childhood nutrition and wellness through our new Foundation," stated Walter Robb, the company's co-CEO and chairman of the foundation. "By collaborating with schools and parents, we believe we can increase fruit and vegetable consumption both at schools and at home and make a significant contribution in the fight against childhood obesity."
Follow its progress on Facebook, Twitter and the Whole Foods blog.

James Beard Foundation VP Talks Exciting New Category at 25th Annual Awards
May. 8th, 2012 | Comments
Make a Comment
Photo Credit James Beard Foundation, Winner Jim Meehan
Celebrity chef Alton Brown hosted the 2012 James Beard Awards, which marked the celebrated Foundations 25th anniversary. The much anticipated annual event took place on Monday, May 7th at the Lincoln Centers Avery Fisher Hall in New York City. As always, the gala featured the worlds most revered culinary talents as well as those who have both contributed and most influenced the gastronomic industry. However, this year is also ushering in a season of change.
For the first time, the James Beard Awards included the new category of Outstanding Bar Program. The famed Italian leader in cocktail excellence, Campari, hosted the introduction of this fresh addition to the James Beard Award list. Mitchell Davis, who joined the staff of the James Beard Foundation in 1993, is the organization's vice president as well as a cookbook author, journalist, and holds a Hotel Administration degree from Cornell as well as a doctorate from NYU in Food Studies. Davis frequently teaches classes at NYU and Cornell, leads cooking tutorials around the United States. He regularly appears on
Cooking Channel
Food Network
shows, and has been published in award-winning books. In 2010 he organized and led the inaugural Food Conference, a national forum on food policy and the food service industry in the United States. The event was attended by 85 thought leaders, including some of President Obama's administration. Read on to learn about Davis' thoughts on the Foundation's newest category.
JustLuxe: How do you feel the craft of creating signature cocktails that use fresh, all natural ingredients has evolved into the art that it has?
Mitchell Davis:
I think that it reflects general enthusiasm for two trends going on. Food in general but also the artisanship of food. We were actually talking about this last night, with one of our guests at one of the parties over the weekendits a natural extension that excites the kitchen and the front of house. Its a nice bridge, I think. Cocktails, you kinda cook them, and mix them, and serve them, and its all part of the show. I just think that its a really nice way to distinguish a restaurant or bar from others but also still have fun and be creative and offer a great experience for the guest.
JL: Has it entered into new territory or is its current incarnation lending from early spirit traditions?
Its a little of both. Its new territory. People are getting so creative and getting so complicated, and I think that whereas a lot of the production aspect used to be given over to, you know, the liquor companies or the people who provided the mixtures, and then it was assembly in the restaurant creating your own syrups and cooking your own juices and all that sort of stuff, in-house, is new and also the emphasis Its almost this wild, creativity going on and its really exciting. I think cocktails have moved a little bit from something to get you interested in dinner to a real integral part of it, part of the same flavor profile and part of the excitement of the experience of being taken through a lovely mealits more. At the same time, its not accidental theres huge references to an earlier time. I mean even the way bartenders are dressing..you know, the retro aspect, and theres a certain, fun "Mad Men-esque," or even earlier...cocktail era. I think that its all related, and thats why I think Its old and new at the same time.
JL: How does the relationship between bar program and fine dining differ than the relationship between wine programs and fine dining?
For starters, beverage programs dont require as much as a capital investment to be impressive as wine. Wine is just really pricey and you have to keep it for a long time, so from the business standpoint, cocktails make more sensethey re much more now. The relationship between money invested and the length of time you get to make that back and make some profit is much shorter. [Cocktails] It also allows s a certain expression or uniqueness. Whereas a sommelieryou know, obviously wine lists are unique from one to the next, but wines are brands. Fancy labels and expensive wines can have a certain sameness to them. You open a list and see all the fancy, all the recognizable names at one restaurant and then you go to another and see the same names. Cocktails are a good way to distinguish one place from the next. They can be so wildly different and reflect the personality of an enterprise more, perhaps than wine. Not to suggest that sommeliers do not have a huge impact, and wine lists are obviously crafted as well, but its shopping really. Its painting and shopping, you know as opposed to creating.
That being said, I cant get behind the idea of pairing cocktails with food like the way you would with wine and food. I think its really important to have a cocktail program, a wine program, and a great culinary program. Rick Bayless and I were talking about this last night, you can probably quote him, Its too much going on A cocktailits so much flavor in a finely crafted cocktail. Its so much to think about that it almost gets in the way food. Sure a little, salty, simple snacks. [But] The many attempts to pair cocktails with different meals, course by course, can get in the way. It just kills you, kills your palate. And of course the alcohol knocks you out.
JL: Do you see the addition of the Outstanding Bar Program to the James Beard Award docket as a sign of evolution in the trends of how food and alcohol are enjoyed together?
Yes, Absolutely. How food and alcohol are enjoyed together, but also how important they are to the guest experience. Its almost more to me. Its sort of recognizing that from the standpoint of the business that people are investing more time, money, and expertise into the delivery of cocktails as part of this whole, dining, hospitality, guest experience. And from the guest standpoint, you know, they just become part of the fun of eating out, part of the performance of eating out and the things that we enjoy.
Take a look below to see the some of the crafted cocktails behind the Outstanding Bar Programs nominees and some of their famous

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I LOVE my Wolf Electric Cooktop! When I started reviewing appliances for Epinions after my kitchen remodel two years ago, I decided that my Wolf 36" Electric Cooktop is easily the most reliable and my favorite appliance of the bunch. My Wolf cooktop was purchased and installed in my kitchen island, along with a 36" telescoping range vent (separate review to come). In this review, I'll walk you through my decision to buy a Wolf cooktop, some of its many desirable features, and some tips for installing the appliance in your kitchen. Side Note: Test Drive Your Cooktop: I wouldn't buy any appliance without seeing it in person first. You won't find the Wolf brand at Sears, Lowes or Home Depot. To check it out, venture into more specialty appliance stores and high-end kitchen retailers. Some vendors actually have working models for demos and comparison. Choosing your cooktop Since the cooktop is of paramount importance to any cook (aside from their knives), it's not a place to skimp on features. So how did I choose the Wolf Electric Cooktop over its many competitors? When I compared the Wolf to similar models by GE, Kenmore and Whirlpool (for starters), I noticed that its unique element configuration and cooking technology put it in a class of its own. Here's some insight into my decision: Gas or Electric? Cooks who prefer gas stoves are generally blown away by BTUs (heat capacity) and the flame's responsiveness to temperature changes. While I won't deny these facts, I have used a smooth top electric range for over a decade, and prefer them for these reasons: 1) Ease of cleaning: smooth cooktops are a breeze to clean with nowhere for grease and food debris to collect 2) No retrofit required: you don't need to add a gas line if you previously had electric 3) Performance: newer electric models have high-tech elements which heat up quickly and efficiently 4) Caveman Quotient: I don't need an open flame to feel like I'm really cooking! My Criteria for Choosing an Electric Cooktop: *Price (the Wolf name doesn't come cheap) *Size & Element Configuration (at least five elements with multiple diameters) *Touch Controls that are easy to operate and clean *Power and Performance *Ease of Cleaning and Durability *Price: The Wolf 36" Electric Cooktop is definitely a splurge (topped in price only by induction models). Since the Wolf, at around $1800, is at the top of the price range, I needed to justify its purchase. What I found was a combination of features which made it stand out from the rest. *Size and Element Configuration: This model's layout is generous and versatile with five elements, including a triple-zone (12" diameter) and a dual zone. Almost all my cookware sizes match an element on the cooktop, including my wok and paella pans. The only element the appliance lacks is a bridge, which connects two elements for heating a large griddle or grill pan (I've managed to work around this one). Wolf electric cooktops also come in 15" (2 element) and 30" (4 element) sizes. *Touch Controls: I love the touch controls, which work effortlessly and intuitively. Two light touches turn each element on, and one touch turns them off. All the elements can also be extinguished simultaneously with a single touch. Another touch (press down for 3 seconds) locks the entire unit for easy cleaning and child-proofing. Lights indicate elements which are still hot. *Power & Performance: Gas stoves, you've met your match! Wolf puts high-tech at your fingertips. Glowing ribbon elements use high-frequency pulsation technology to heat quickly and steadily. You may be surprised at how quickly the range responds to temperature changes. Low simmer and melt settings are useful for soups, rice and chocolate. Medium keeps my pressure cooker humming steadily. Medium-high is ideal for sauteing and frying, and high brings liquids to boil rapidly. *Ease of Cleaning and Durability: My former cooktop, a smooth glass Whirlpool, also performed well. But the old ceramic top didn't hold up well over time and showed many scratches and discolorations. I am ecstatic to report that after two years of daily use, my Wolf Electric cooktop is as shiny and unblemished as the day it arrived. Simply wipe clean with a sponge and cream cleanser. Stubborn spills can be scraped off with the razor blade tool (comes with the appliance). Hard to believe, but the blade does not mar the surface in any way! Cookware tips: As with all smooth rangetops, your cookware should be medium to heavy weight and have a level bottom for maximum efficiency. I use my decade-old set of All-Clad cookware and Analon, Circulon and KitchenAid Saute pans. Must Read Tips for a Smooth Installation Experience If you've ever done a kitchen remodel, or even gotten a new appliance, you may have learned the hard way that the best laid plans can go awry. Therefore, I'd like to mention some details to be aware of, in case you decide to purchase the Wolf Electric cooktop (or another electric cooktop) for your kitchen. I highly recommend reading the Planning, Reference, Installation and Design guides (all four of them) at wolfappliance.com below before buying! Framed vs. Unframed: The framed model rests on top of your counter. For this model, your countertop fabricator will need to cut a hole in the counter to fit the appliance (this can be cut on your premises). The unframed model, which appears flush with the countertop surface, actually rests below the surface on a lip. To install this version, the countertop maker must grind the lip on the counter at the factory before it arrives at your house. Cabinet modifications: You will need to modify the drawer depths to accommodate a blower if you choose a telescoping vent (instead of a range hood). Another option would be a large cabinet with pull-outs modified for depth if required. (Make sure you tell your kitchen designer to make the appropriate modifications during the ordering process!) Venting: We decided on telescoping kitchen hood which retracts below the counter when not in use. The model has an external blower which was installed in the crawlspace underneath the island. Plan for the vent appliance dimensions before you order anything! More Installation Coordination Suggestions: 1) Even though it might seem tedious and daunting, read the installation manuals for your model and note any special instructions for placing the cooktop on the counter and in the cabinet or drawer bank. You will need to communicate the appliance specs to your cabinet and countertop providers before they are ordered. 2) Keep in mind that you will actually coordinate four trades to make sure installation goes smoothly: your appliance vendor, countertop fabricator, cabinet maker and the installers. Final thoughts: From Thanksgiving Dinner to Mother's Day Brunch, this Range is Home for all your special dishes. Are you tempted? I recommend you check out a variety of brands and models and decide for yourself. I definitely do not regret splurging on this well-used and well-loved appliance in my kitchen. The Wolf brand is synonymous with home kitchen and professional ranges, and I am pleased that so far, it has lived up to its reputation for a quality cooktop which is worth its cost and more! Appendix: Technical Specifications for the Wolf Electric Cooktop Please see website for exact dimensions and complete information: http://www.wolfappliance.com/products/detail.aspx?cid=10&productid=38) Overall Dimensions: 36" W x 3.5" H x 21" D Maximum Element Power: (1) Triple-Zone: 2700 W / 2200 W / 1050W (1) Dual-Zone: 2200 W / 750W (3) Single-Zone: 1800W, 1500W and 1200W Element Outer Diameter (approximate): Triple-Zone 12" Dual-Zone 9" Single-Zone 8", 7" and 6.5" Recommended Cabinet Width: 39" Minimum Height Clearance: 4" Minimum Cabinet Depth: 22.75" Countertop Cut-Out:* 34 3/8"W x 19.25" D Electrical Requirements: 240 V AC / 60 Hz / 50 amp 208 V AC / 60 Hz / 40 amp Conduit: 4' flexible 3-wire Electrical Rating: 9.4 kW at 240 V AC 7.1 kW at 208 V AC Note: *If the 36" cooktop is to be used in combination with additional cooktops or modules with a filler strip, the cut-out width increases to 35".

The Richmond Campaign of 1862: The Peninsula and the Seven Days
Sears, Stephen W., The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
The Richmond Campaign of 1862: The Peninsula and the Seven Days. Edited by GARY W. GALLAGHER. Chapel Hill and London: University of North Carolina Press, 2000. xvi, 272 pp. $34.95.
IN this seventh title in the Military Campaigns of the Civil War series, editor Gary Gallagher has gathered nine essays that elucidate finer points of what optimistic Yankees in 1862 christened the Grand Campaign. Gallagher leads off by documenting just how critically important Lee's defense of Richmond was to the struggling young Confederacy. "The `half-success' at Richmond," he writes, "had a seismic effect on the Confederacy's war for nationhood." Furthermore, Lee's emergence in the Seven Days "marked the most important watershed in the development of the Army of Northern Virginia..." (p. 19).
In offering up George Brinton McClellan distilled, John T. Hubbell reveals the pressures (mostly self-inflicted) that weighed on the Union commander, and their devastating effects on his psyche. Like Lee, this was McClellan's first campaign; unlike Lee, he broke under the stress. But before this, in the view of McClellan's engineering chief, the campaign ought to have been won by way of the Chickahominy crossings. "`General McClellan was not waiting for the bridges,"' insisted John G. Barnard, " `but the bridges were waiting for General McClellan"' (p. 56). William J. Miller employs engineer Barnard's arguments to illuminate the missed opportunity.
The Confederates, too, missed opportunities. Robert K. Krick investigates the mystery of Stonewall Jackson's zombie-like performance during the Seven Days, and convincingly demonstrates that the man was, both physically and mentally, exhausted. What remains mysterious is why Jackson never recognized the need to pace himself. The failings of John B. Magruder at Savage's Station and Malvern Hill are the subject of Peter S. Carmichael's investigation. He finds that Magruder had various problems and various excuses, but at base (like McClellan), the stress of command unhinged him and left him almost mentally paralyzed. …

Peter Freeman, Assistant Director of NSF for CISE, has an "important message" on the recent reorganization. Good to see he's finally acknowledging the confusion about the changes, though I would still like to see more of the philosophy behind it. I talked recently to a former program director who worries that the new clusters will make it more difficult for theory since they now have to directly compete with more applied areas. He also worries that removing power from the program director position will make it even harder to recruit good program directors in the future.

Nicole Scherzinger - Nicole Scherzinger is a 'cheeky' drunk
Take That star Gary Barlow has said Nicole Scherzinger is a ''cheeky drinker'', and she ''rubs her bum'' on her fellow 'X Factor' UK judges when she gets drunk.
Nicole Scherzinger is a ''cheeky drinker''.
The former Pussycat Doll likes to grind against Gary Barlow - her fellow 'X Factor' UK judge - when they get drunk together.
The Take That star told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: ''Nicole is quite a good drinker, she's a cheeky drinker, I clocked that the other night, we've been out a few times and she does it quietly, she double orders.
''She does dance routines and rubs her bum up on you and your drink's going everywhere. It's an awful job this, but someone's got to do it.''
Gary, 42, and the 35-year-old singer partied with their fellow judges - Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne - last week, and they kept going until 6am.
Sharon described herself as a ''cheap date'' and insisted she can't handle her booze.
She added: ''I'm a really cheap date, give me two drinks and I'm p***ing on the floor. I can't take a lot of alcohol, but when I do, it's like, 'Woooooooo'.''
She recently revealed Gary was the mastermind behind the evening, insisting her got the quartet ''legless'' as a bonding exercise.
She previously said: ''This is a panel of people who are two great artists, two great writers and performers, two amazing managers, and it's way beyond that. We have respect for each other, we actually like each other.
''This one with the wine, [pointing to Gary], gets us legless. There's no him or her, it's just mutual respect.''

I apologize if this is in the wrong spot but is there a discussion about antique firearms? I love to look at old flintlocks and wild west weapons. Any forum dedicated to that?

Well, we DO have a black powder and muzzleloader section. In case you were not sure, ANTIQUE has a specific legal meaning with firearms. An ANTIQUE firearm is either made prior to 1899, OR is a caplock, flintlock, matchlock etc that uses loose powder and ball, no matter when it was made. So a Winchester Model 94, MADE in 1896 is an antique. Same rifle made in 1910, NOT.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Yup! that is what im meaning =) pre 1899 antique firearms. i will look at that section. thank you =)

I spent hours looking online to book a Hotel in Dublin & comparing this site to others it proved the best in terms of easy to use & it had the cheapest Hotel prices.
I had a mix up with my travel arrangements & called Booking.com to see if I was able to change the dates I had booked with the Hotel. It had said there was no possibility of this but the Booking.com staff called the hotel directly & within minutes she had rearranged the booking for me without any fuss at all.
I then called them back to add another 2 nights & once again they called the Hotel & got my the additional nights for half the price that the actual hotel had them for on their own website.
The only negative in relation to the site, is that I would have liked to know immediately the exact cost of the Hotel over all.
Written on: 19/02/2013
Great choice of hotels for a quick escape, easily found a family fun weekend at a great price and activities and full English breakfast included for all of us. Looking forward to getting away now. Would recommend this sight, already face booked all my friends and family.

Hello, all you happy people. This is my first FAQ. And honestly, this happens to be a FAQ for a new game released, called, Kirby 64. Heck, this game is so darn fun, I decided to write one for this game! Sweet, yes? Good. Let's get this party started! *Audience cheers Jerry Springer Style* Wait, maybe a bit less uh........hardcore? *Audience cheers Jenny Jones style* Much better. By the way, controls and items are in the manual, but I'll explain the power combonations to you. Table of Contents 1. The story 2. Skills 3. Characters 4. Walkthrough 5. Crystal Shard Locations 6. Mini Game Guide 7. Enemy Guide 8. Boss Battle Walkthrough 9. Credits 10.

I'm adding the mini games and Boss Battle to the guide. 10/28/2000 Yesterday was my birthday! JOY! Anyways, I've added more multiplayer strategies. Also added are how often abilites will appear. 12/12/2000 Probably my final update to this FAQ, it includes an enemy guide. 1. Story A peaceful star, Ripple Star, has been a home of many fairies and a giant crystal. However, a unknown force known as Dark Matter came here to take the crystal. Thankfully, a fairy named Ribbon took it away, because bad things would happen if Dark matter grabbed it. But she soon drops the crystal while being chased by Dark Matter's forces, and it breaks off into tiny pieces and scattered off throughout other planets. Meanwhile, Kirby is looking at the sky, and he sees Ribbon falling from above. After she tells him of her plight at Ripple Star, Kirby decides to help out, and is off on his current adventure. 2. Skills (Special abilities) 1. Fire ability (Fireball) Kirby becomes a fireball, literally burning anything in his path. To speed up (I not sure if you can do this), press the control pad in the direction he's moving. Slowing down is the opposite (I think.). Plus, you can also speed through areas quickly. But the effect is a little short. 2. Needle ability (Porcupine) Tons of needles stick out of his body. In midair, he does a flip. Great in almost every situation! Too bad it lasts for a while..... 3. Spark ability (Electric Shield) A small electrical field surrounds Kirby, anyone who touches him gets zapped. He can also move, but it's pretty slow. Best used when he stands on the ground. 4. Cutter ability (Body Boomerang) In the previous Kirby games, Kirby's cutter attack is where he takes out a boomerang of sorts and throws it at his enemies. In this one, he takes out half of his body and uses it as a Boomerang! How weird..... The ability is a little limited in use, as you can't fly with it, but you can jump, and you can't attack from behind with it. Plus, he needs the other half of his body anyway. 5. Ice ability (Ice Blower) Here, he spins around and breathes ice in all directions. It's a pretty useful ability, and he can move with it, however, it's a little slow when he's moving. An all around good ability for when enemies are coming from both sides. 6. Stone ability (Rock) Just like his previous exploits, he becomes a invulerable piece of rock, only he can walk in this form! Plus, when he turns back to normal, the rocks spread out (Leaving a blast radius of sorts), damaging enemies. However, he can't walk or fly in this form. 7. Bomb ability (Bomber Kirby) You know what he does with this ability..........admit it......and you should know that by holding B, he'll throw the bomb farther. Another handy skill! 8. Fire + Fire (Phoneix Fireball) He becomes an even bigger fireball (Almost Pheonix-like, might I add), the effect lasts longer, covers an even wider range, and is even quicker! Treat this like the regular fire ability and you'll be fine. 9. Needle + Needle (Sharp and Pointy Objects) WHAT THE?! Kirby's a living swiss army knife (You know, the kind boy scouts carry?)! I mean, surely you'll freak out after seeing this ability, and just like the needle ability, he can stay in one place or move in midair while using it! Don't stop playing until you've tried this out! 10. Spark + Spark (An even Bigger Electric Shield) Just like the normal spark ability, but bigger. Plus, lighting comes out after an enemy touches it! Weird........ again, it's best used if you stay in one place, since if you move, it'll shrink. 11. Cutter + Cutter (Bigger Body Boomerang) Again, like the regular cutter, just bigger and with more spikes. Also, it travels farther (I think). 12. Ice + Ice (Rolling Giant snowball) He becomes a snowball, literally rolling over anything in his path. Best used on straightforward areas. Plus, like the stone ability, the snow and the enemies he's rolled over (If any) can damage enemies after he changes back to normal. Unfortunately, you can't jump, and you can't control it, either. 13. Stone + Stone (Boulder) Just like the normal Stone ability, but even bigger, plus he moves quicker when he walks! Still, you can't jump in this form, however. 14. Bomb + Bomb (Missile Launcher) Here's something you don't see everyday-Kirby being a missile launcher! By holding B, he can launch up to three missiles! A handy move for airborne enemies. Plus, it's that one ability he used in the commercial for his game! 15. Fire + Needle (Fiery Bow and Arrow) Kirby becomes a bow and arrow, launching arrows at his enemies. Hold B to shoot farther and higher. Unfortunately, you can only aim in the direction Kirby's facing. Flying enemies will not enjoy this move if you use it on them. 16. Fire + Spark (Static Flame) Kirby will take out a cloth and rub it on his head. He'll then be engulfed in flames as he runs toward enemies. He can also jump in this form. However, I wouldn't use it mush unless you want to run away from danger. 17. Fire + Cutter (Flaming Sword) Now this is original! He wields a sword that's on fire! He can't fly while using it, though. To get rid of it, press up while holding the sword, then press the control pad left or right and B. He'll then throw it! To take out another one, press B. This is a REALLY useful ability for many stages. 18. Fire + Ice (Flaming Ice Cube) HA! This ability will have you laughing real hard (If not make you say, "Is this really useful?), as this ability is really useless. He becomes an ice cube, and eventually melts after a second or two because of the fire. The only way an enemy can be harmed is if an enemy touches you before the attack ends. However, if you want to try it at least once, go ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you! 19. Fire + Stone (Volcano) Kirby transforms into a volcano, and he always stands in one place. The only thing you can control are those short-ranged lava blasts. The plus is that projectile attacks will stop if a blast touches it, and is handy for attacking overhead enemies! 20. Fire + Bomb (Fireworks) Kirby becomes a living set of fireworks, and each time you press B, he can do this three times! Also, they cover a wide area, and is perfect for flight enemies. The downside is, once you use it, you can't fly or jump, as he'll already bounce, so unless you know what you're doing, be careful when using it to get across gaps. 21. Needle + Spark (Lighting Rod) Kirby transforms into a weird looking lighting rod, and it'll strike him. Any enemies that touch while he's being hit will also be struck as well. Sadly, it's more of a up close move, but the shockwave it makes can also harm enemies, so remember that! 22. Needle + Cutter (Spike Trap) This one's weird. He becomes a bear trap. Hold B and he'll have those two arms with spikes ready. Release to close the trap. However, he only does this upwards, plus it's a little slow. 23. Needle + Ice (Snowflake) Who would've thought a snowflake could be deadly? Yes, that's what Kirby does with this power combo. Although slow, the pointy tips sticking out are huge, as well as the snowflake! 24. Needle + Stone (Drill) Kirby unleashes a drill by pressing B, and he'll continue to go in that direction until you release the button. Good thing, too, as this helps Kirby get around a little quicker, and the drill, when released, can go through walls (They must be thin enough to pass through). 25. Needle + Bomb (Exploding Spikes) Kirby turns into a Gordo (A common enemy with spikes in the Kirby series) and after awhile, he explodes, sending the spikes in 8 directions. I wouldn't use it much, as it's a little slow, but you can move with it, at least. 26. Spark + Cutter (Beam Sword/Lance) Kirby + Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace = this fun ability (No, I did not see that movie, I've seen one of those used in the commercial, though). By pressing down, he'll put his beam lance away. it has a long range and is easy to pull off, but like the flaming sword, he can't fly. 27. Spark + Ice (Refrigerator) HILARIOUS! Kirby becomes a refrigerator! He actually throws food at his enemies, and he can use that to heal himself! This is so funny, you have to try it out for yourself. 28. Spark + Stone (Electrical Stone) Okay, this one's odd-a stone that's connected to an electrical chain constantly bounces around Kirby. He can't control it, and it'll stop if he's entering another room/area or if it hits him. It can also be stopped manually by pressing B. It's a good idea to have this when there are lots of enemies. 29. Spark + Bomb (Lightbulb) Kirby becomes a lightbulb, and after a awhile, he explodes. Some secrets can be uncovered in dark rooms, but that's really it. Oh, I wouldn't use it much as a weapon, either. 30. Cutter + Ice (Skater) He becomes a figure skater, and he can only attack (His spin move is how he attacks) in midair. Though not that useful, it can be a big help in certain areas. 31. Cutter + Stone (Friend Sculpture) He sculpts into one of his animal friends-Rick the Hamster, Coo the Owl, Kine the fish, and three more friends. Coo and that one bird can fly (Press A, of course), Kine doesn't do anything (HUH?), That blob can only jump (THAT'S IT?) This one character (A raccoon, I guess?) can double jump, and Rick can climb walls (Stand near a wall, press the control pad in the direction you're facing, then keep pressing A.). It's not that useful as it looks, though. 32. Cutter + Bomb (Exploding Star) I love this one! He throws a shruiken of sorts, and if it hits someone, they get stuck, then.........BOOM!!! It's very perfect for bosses, but the problem is that you can't see excatly where it is, and it's hard to time, but with practice, you'll have good accuracy. 33. Ice + Stone (Gliding Puck) He becomes one of those curling pucks, and along the way, he freezes enemies. And unfortunately, that's all he does. Still if you want to try it out, do so. 34. Stone + Bomb (Dynamite) He throws some dynamite. The blast will damage him, so to counter this, put on your hard hat (Press down.) and the blast won't harm him. The blast radius is also wide, so it can harm some enemies, but don't forget to put on your hat! 35. Bomb + Ice (Snowman Time Bomb) He becomes a snowman, and it'll explode. He can't detonate it, so he can either get hit or wait until the fuse is out. Don't forget that the snow freezes enemies after it explodes. Here's a table I've made for the main 7 abilites and which ones show up on the planet, as well as each stage. *= It's there Blank Space= None Fire Needle Spark Cutter Ice Stone Bomb ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pop Star ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 * ' * ' ' * ' ' ' * 2 * ' * ' * ' * ' * ' * ' * 3 * ' * ' ' * ' ' ' * Rock Star ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 * ' * ' * ' ' ' * ' 2 * ' * ' * ' * ' ' * ' 3 * ' ' ' * ' * ' * ' 4 ' ' * ' ' ' ' * Aqua Star ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 * ' ' * ' * ' * ' * ' * 2 * ' ' * ' * ' * ' * ' * 3 ' ' ' * ' ' * ' * 4 ' ' * ' ' ' ' * Neo Star ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 * ' ' ' * ' ' * ' 2 * ' ' * ' ' ' ' 3 * ' * ' ' ' ' ' 4 * ' * ' * ' ' ' ' Shiver Star ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 * ' * ' ' * ' * ' * ' * 2 ' * ' * ' * ' ' ' 3 ' ' * ' * ' ' ' 4 * ' ' * ' * ' ' ' Ripple Star ' ' ' ' ' ' 1 * ' * ' * ' * ' ' * ' * 2 ' * ' ' * ' ' ' 3 * ' * ' * ' * ' * ' * ' * I know I messed up on some parts, so E-mail me. 3. Characters Kirby: our hero from Popstar who's saved Dreamland a countless number of times. Here, his current exploit is to find all of the crystal pieces and defeat Dark Matter should he restore peace to Ripple Star and all of Dreamland. Since you're playing as him, I don't have to tell you what he does! Ribbon: A fairy from Ripple Star, who accidently drops the crystal and it shatters into pieces. She turns to Kirby for help after her plight. What she does: Gets crystal pieces after Kirby touches them. Adenline: A young artist who goes to Pop star to study art. But when she comes across a crystal piece, she gets pulled into Kirby's adventure after you save her. What she does: Provides puzzles for Kirby to solve (art-wise), and paints helpful items for Kirby. Waddle Dee: Waddle Dees are usually common enemies in the Kirby series, but this particular one is his friend. He comes across a crystal piece also, but becomes possessed by a Dark Matter scout. Saving him, of course, will let him join the adventure. What he does: Usually you have to ride something with him (A mine cart, raft, etc.), plus, he leads you into the next area (Even though you know you're going to go there anyway.). King Dedede: A rival and longtime enemy of Kirby, a crystal piece falls on his castle grounds. Will he reluctanly join in Kirby's adventure, or will he keep it to himself? Decsions, decsions.......... What he does: Mostly you'll have to get on his back and he'll break pillars or strong doors for Kirby, but other times, he'll pound switches or break objects for Kirby to progress through. 4. Walkthrough Pop Star: This is Kirby's home planet, and the beginning of his adventure. Here, he'll meet a friendly Waddle Dee, Adenline, and the infamous King Dedede. Part 1: The grasslands The first stage is so easy, you can just plow your way through! On the way you'll find crystal shard #1. Get the flaming sword (See combos up above) before you enter the cabin. To beat the mini boss, and the others like this, use your special ability or suck in the smaller enemies back at it. I will no longer mention how to beat these from here on out. After running some more, get rid of your current ability & inhale a Poppy Bros. Jr. for the bomb ability. Blow up that black rock in the pond and go to where it was for crystal shard #2! Now, you must deal with a possessed, yet completely idiotic Waddle Dee. Use your ability to defeat it, or suck in the stars and spit it back at him. Shard #3 is yours, and the stage is complete! All I say is, IF YOU LOSE TO HIM, YOU MAY AS WELL GIVE UP ON FINDING ALL OF THE SHARDS-LET ALONE BEAT THE GAME! Part 2: The forest Take your bomb ability and combine it with a Sir Kibble for the Exploding Star ability (See Skills for more details). And you'll need this for the entire stage. Keep going until you enter the tree trunk. Work your way up, avoiding enemies, then enter the door ahead. Now, you'll ride on a platform (Waddle Dee will help move it, since someone needs to roll that log.) to the other side. Near the end, you'll see stars going downward, go down for Shard #1. After dropping through the trunk in this next area (If nesscessary, collect some items), you'll face another mini boss. Beat him for Shard #2. After that, it's on to a possessed Adenline! First, attack the pictures she makes (Which are common enemies in this game, and rather badly might I add), then, she'll paint the Ice Dragon from Kirby's Dreamland 2. Attack him from afar with your exploding cutter. Then, she'll Paint Dark Matter. Use the same tactic as before, and she'll try to run into you. Slide into her and get shard #3. Another nice trick is to attack her pictures with the Spark/Cutter Ability. It'll still give you the distance you need to attack, but it will also drastically hurt them! About 3 swings and they are gone. 3. Part 3: Dedede's Castle You no longer need your current ability, so lose it, then the upgraded cutter ability (Combine the same power, e.g. Ice + Ice). Continue until you enter the castle. Go up the stairs and in the next room, a platform moves while Bronto Burts come toward you. Then, scale the small tower, avoiding the Gordos, and you'll be back outside. Continue going through *Yawn* until you reach another hole. Inside, break the green block with your upgraded Cutter, and drop down for crystal shard #1. This next room contains Adenline painting you a 1up (She's too kind, I tell you!), and when you enter this next room, go above the enterance for crystal Shard #2. Get rid of your current ability, and suck in a Sir Kibble or a whirling blade for the Cutter ability (Again.), then go on up, and combine that ability with the fire ability, and.........ta da! A flaming sword! Go up the chain rope with light shining on it, because it's time for............. A POSSESSED KING DEDEDE!!!!!!!!! Okay, since you have the flaming sword, this battle should be a piece of cake. Throw the swords at him and get out of the way when he attacks. After that, he'll fly over you and try to attack you. To get around this, stand under him while holding your flaming sword up high. Now, it's only 5 more seconds before he's no longer possessed.....*Chuckles* Now grab crystal shard #3 and leave. Boss: Whispy Woods Oh, look! It's Whispy Woods from Kirby's Dreamland 1, 2, well...almost every Kirby game in existence. However, he's still the same old stationary tree he's always been. So, to defeat him, here's how it goes..........keep your Flaming sword ability, and attack those smaller trees that encircle him. After that, he'll go mad. He'll drop lots of apples and make his roots pop up from the ground. Attack those with your flaming sword. Keep this up until he's defeated. And you'll have the big crystal piece! It is possible to hit him 3 times on his second phase, which requires the flaming sword. When he releases his roots, stand ahead of it, and the sword he carries behind him will obviously harm the root. After the second hit, immediately throw it, it should hit the next one ahead before it goes back into the gorund. That'll speed up the fight some. By the way, I'm surprised he doesn't cry on this one. Could he be holding back his sap tears (Yes, sap tears, it's not a typo. He's a tree, after all.)? 2. Rock Star: This is a deserted planet with lots of sand, rocks, and even A UFO is found in the middle of nowhere! Part 1: The desert Get rid of your current ability and look for an enemy with the stone ability, and work your way through the stage, killing everything in your path. After entering the building, fly up to the top, and you should spot some platforms. By landing on those platforms and following them, you'll find crystal piece #1. Fly up to the top, and face your next mini boss, then collect the crystal piece he leaves behind. In this next room, you have to climb all the way up to the top while sand is quickly coming up. Use those weird looking blocks for ladders and you'll be out in one piece. Waddle Dee will make a hole for you, allowing to exit. Now you can't get back inside again, as the sand will have filled up to it's highest point. Go forward until you spot a lightbulb enemy, combine it with that for the Spark/Stone combo. Go back to that striped rock and use your combo on it for the final crystal piece. Exit, stage right. Part 2: The ruins Okay, get rid of your current ability and pick whatever ability you need for the moment-then go forward. Soon, rock enemies will drop on you, run like heck to avoid them. Now, you are in a maze-like area, go around, searching for the exit, and watch out for those mumbies that'll be chasing you! On your way out, walk around on the floor, part of it will break, allowing you to get first shard below. The next room has these weird looking guys in the background throwing fireballs at you. Drop down in the center of this room for Shard #2. Another room will have platforms that has crush you when you stand on them. Move back when that happens, then start moving again. After a straightforward route with lots 'o enemies and cannons attacking you in the background......... Dedede will give you a piggyback ride (HUH?). Explore the upper left hand corner hand of the maze for the final shard! Now find your way out of this maze and the stage is finished! Part 3: The caverns Do you have that stone ability with you? Good, you'll need it for shard #1. (If not, go back and get one, silly!) Go forward until you see a skelton. Use the stone ability on the brown bone and go to the jaws for the first piece. Keep going until you see a hole, drop down. Now you're in a room with 2 holes. One hole leads to a path with stars and a hole ahead, while the other hole leads to another crystal shard, but you'll have to beat a mini boss for it! After collecting it, drop down the hole. Okay, the next room is just your average enemy filled room, get any abilities you need and go until you reach another hole. Then, after blasting through more enemies, you'll enter a underwater tunnel. The first half has you swimming down, avoiding enemies, the second half wants you to swim up, avoiding bones that fall on you! They should be easy to avoid, since they fall slow. At the very top, you'll find the last crystal shard, but you'll have to duck in the stage's exit (Don't enter it completely-yet.) to avoid it. Part 4: The UFO Prepare for a fun stage, everyone! Here, get rid of your current ability and inhale the missile for the bomb ability. Go forward and board the ship. As you are listening to this catchy music, you'll be greeted by cannons firing at you, avoid those. In the next room, carefully move up the platforms that move back and forth. Don't go up to the top yet-instead, drop down the center and go down for crystal piece #1. Hit one of those eyeball turret enemies with your bomb ability for the Spark/Bomb ability. Okay, in this next room, Adenline wil be Standing near 3 panels. Using your lightbulb ability (See combos), you'll light up the 3 panels. These picutures, I'm assuming, have some compatibility with the weather. In the next room, step on the swicthes according to the 3 pictures you revealed for the second shard. After going up the ladder, get rid of your current ability and continue going on up the platforms to the top, and now, time for another round of......dun dun dun dun.... Fight the Mini Boss! *audience applauds* Tell them the prize if they win, Rod. *Goes to Rod Roddy's voice* The last crystal piece! *Audeince appalauds* It's a shiny piece from a 16 karat crystal which is currently broke into pieces. This, and all the other pieces is worth......$15,775! *Goes to normal voice* Thanks, Rod. After the battle, go up the ropes while avoiding those sparks and you're done! (NOTE: I'm not offending Rod Roddy in any way. So don't sue!) Boss: Pix Use the bomb ability for this boss. Unfortunately, It'll introduce you by attacking you before they show it's life meter! Avoid the red cube, then a green one will join in. Avoid those two, and a blue one will join in. Avoid all three and the battle will FINALLY start. Use the bombs or those molecules to attack them. When they appear, they'll do one of their three attacks: 1. Fire blasts at you. This attack is easy to avoid. Run under it, then bomb the cube several times. If you're lucky, you may have enough time to finish off the second one! 2. Attack with it's laser lances in a unusual pattern, plus, it'll move back and forth. A little tricky to avoid, unless you know the pattern. Red-Random Directions. (In other words, it moves back and forth while moving up and down. You'll see what I mean when it does it.) Very hard to avoid unless you are far away. Green-Back and forth. (In other words, it spins around clockwise/counter-clockwise depending on the direction they move.) Very easy to avoid, just stay under. Blue-Up & Down. (In other words, the lance spins around the floor, then goes back up, and repeats in a clockwise/counter clockwise direction.) Best to run away. 3. They spin around the arena in a group. VERY hard to avoid. The only way to avoid it is to keep running. Oh, and each time a cube is destroyed, it will become transparent and you can pass through it. Use this to your advantage when they do this. You obviously have to bomb all three. Thankfully, you can pass through a destroyed cube and not take any damage. Once all three are gone, you get another big shard! 3. Aqua Star: As the name implies, it is a water planet. And there are lots of it, too. But in one set of underwater caverns, they tend to have strong currents. Part 1: The Islands Keep your bomb ability, and start off by working your way to the caves, bombing everything in your way. Next, enter the green balls inside this one room. Along the way, you'll pass up the first crystal shard! No problem, just drop down under the platform to get it. As you enter the caves, you should be looking for a penguin (Who'll run away from you) in the next 2 rooms. If you have the bomb ability, combine it with that for the Ice/Bomb ability. Continue going until you reach the mini-boss. Now, you need this ability, so drop through the platform and use your ability to hit him from below. Adenline will paint you a Maxim Tomato. Good thing, too, this final area is though! Go forward 'til you spot some platforms, and drop down until you get to the bottom. After that, stand on the block and use your exploding snowman ability to break it. Enter the green ball, and you'll blast up to the shard! Lose your ability and continue on forward to exit. Part 2: The waterfalls Here, you'll have to find an enemy with a stone ability and an with a fire ability. The stone, you probably would've gotten that in the star's first stage, as well as the fire ability. However, you'll spot them along the way. After crossing some bridges and entering the cave, keep running across the walkway that breaks apart. You know how to defeat mini-bosses, but now you have to break the red/brown block for Shard #1. Then, you'll have a waterfall ride with Waddle Dee. Remember, when "!" flashes, jump or you'll lose some health. Along the way, you'll grab crystal piece #2, but you have to jump at the right time! After you eventually fall off the raft........ Run down the waterfalls and grab the invincibility, as you're going down, you'll find the final piece near a waterfall, hard to miss. Scale up the waterfalls while avoiding spiked logs to exit. Part 3: The beach Before starting, get the Cutter/Bomb combo. Once you've gotten that, proceed. After a while of fighting, you'll get to an area with a wooden bridge, go up to the top and enter. Inside, break the green/black block with your combo for crystal piece #1. Lose your ability, and go back up. Return the the second part of the stage and inhale the green guy throwing spiked rings at you for the cutter ability. After that, continue on forward again until you reach a stone enemy, combine the abilities for the Cutter/Stone Ability. Step on the catapult and Dedede will pound it, so you'll enter the next area. Continue, and climb the cliff, and drop into the hole. Defeat the mini- boss (But try not to get too close) for the second shard. Drop down and use the sclupt ability until you you get Rick the Hamster. Stand near a wall and press left on the control pad, then keep pressing A to climb the wall. After that, you'll reach the final crystal piece. Now |
