Crowning glory: Several diazacrown ethers incorporating nitrogen mustard moieties have been prepared by treating harmless mustard carbonates with aromatic diols in the absence of any base under pseudo-high dilution conditions (see scheme). This novel synthesis relied upon the anchimeric effect of the nitrogen mustard carbonate.

Move with the Mouse and click to shoot. Collect points by destroying enemies and collecting pixels. Hitting a pixel will cause it to shoot back out of your ship.
Game was created by Hero Interactive.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
top 5 material
The music choice was absolutely perfect, very abstract but had a good beat to keep up with the action.
gameplay was challenging at the boss, but not so hard as to draw you away, the colors and bonus effects was enough to make me go through another few play throughs.
the only negative factor was the aiming, everynow and then the ability to go backwards and shoot was a god send, but othertimes it almost killed me, can you maybe add a strafe button? something to press down to keep you looking in the same direction but be able to move around?
other than that awesome, i wanna sequal :D, please add some more music like this too ;]
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Love it!
the game was splended! perfect graphics! great gameplay simply woven so the pixels blow up! i love the bonus menu i love the playible pixel guys i love that you even put in a Bubble tank! i loved the sound track! i think this game deserves front page! ^.^
Rated 5 / 5 stars
nicely done
very fun and difficult, i got through it my first try though. keep up the good work. oh yeah, i love all the little things in the bonus menu too.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I liked it very much. It was a little short to completely finish it but oh-well. THe only thing I would have changed would be the soundtrack.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
So beautiful!!!
Wow I love this game, it's so awesome seeing all the colorfull explosions!! The only thing I could want more is a sequel!!!

as a youngster I snuck down to the USU sideline in Logan during the 4th quarter of a BYU game....BYU was blowing out the Aggies, yet Rulon Jones didn't hesitate to sign my football for me, during the game. I've never forgotten that, thanks Rulon, I still have the ball.

Watching the Broncos playoff game today from my place in the Bronx. I somehow came across this article. Many years ago, early 1980's, I was a young New Yorker who was living in the Denver area. I worked at a place called the "Foot Locker." One day, in came this "Giant" of a man, with very blonde hair and large feet. I was the one who waited on this man, and sold him a pair of athletic shoes. I am 55 years old, now, and recall that day but not the exact conversation of course. I do remember, however, asking this guy if he was a Denver Bronco. He said yes, and smiled. I said, "you're Rulon Jones, right?" He said yes. Rulon, you likely will never see this comment, but you could not have been nicer nor more decent. We talked for a lengthy period of time and I recall to this day your humility. I'm still and will always be a New York Giants fan, but you're one Bronco who made an impression on me way back when. Thank you, and wishing prosperity and health to you and your family.

text: The Crash Bandicoot series has changed hands more than Blockbuster DVD, and with Radical Entertainment now heading up development they're reinventing the orange critter for his current-gen debut. Crash of the Titans will appear on Wii, PS2, DS, PSP and 360, and will follow an action-orientated theme in which he has the power to "hijack" the minds of others. Crash himself has learned a few new fighting moves too, now able to string together a selection of punches and kicks into a ninja combo for the first time in the series. Even better, a second player can join in at any point in the game, taking control of Carbon Crash in co-operation with the first player. Neat. Check out all the screens below - there are PS2, Wii and DS captures there, all marked up so you can tell them apart. Crash of the Titans is pencilled in for an Autumn release. May 18, 2007

I'm sitting here listening to one of Michael Karoli's tracks with his band Soforkontakt from the third disc of Mute's Can DVD set as I write. Karoli, as is consistently revealed throughout the documentary and concert footage, is at once completely in his own world and utterly dependent on those around him to supply a vast, textured canvas upon which he can deposit all the glorious, psychedelic sun rays his guitar can muster. His portion of the disc demonstrates that although Can were no longer an active entity, he was playing with the same abandon, albeit with a slightly vintage grace that would have been too restrictive for his younger self. Sure, Soforkontakt sound suspiciously like a jam-band Can, but weren't Can really just a smart, curious, disciplined jam band, anyway?
Or, I could attempt the high road and say Can were the archetypical post-rock collective. They took the spontaneous energy and immediacy of rock music and replaced it with pure spontaneity. They didn't really need "riffs," hooks or drum solos, because their ideals were found in the individual processes of actively trying to go where no one had gone before, while at the same time being acutely aware that each of their fates were indelibly tied to those of the others. Working as a whole, the music and the trip would take care of themselves. The band certainly knew of rock and took inspiration from it, but were also aware of alternative revolutions: Fluxus, Stockhausen's radical formalism, jazz, free improvisation and a whole world of indigenous folk music. And of course, they had the fortune not to have been from America or the UK, where already robust foundations of modern pop and rock would have very quickly consumed their ambitions. Can were always outside and apart from rock music, yet ultimately dependent on it.
Can DVD helps make a lot clear about the German band, while maintaining much of the band's time-honored mystique. Consisting of two DVDs and one audio CD, the set contains an incredible free concert from Cologne in 1972 (originally available on VHS in the out-of-print Can Box), multiple documentaries and remixes, and a CD of solo works by Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Holger Czukay and Karoli. There are a few testimonials from other musicians (including a frankly tossed-off "film" by Brian Eno), and even a vaguely surreal sequence of Flea and John Frusciante giving a lifetime achievement award to the band at the 2003 Echo Awards (apparently, the German Grammys). Of course, nobody buys these things because they need to know how great the band is-- they buy it because they're big fans and they'll buy anything. Luckily, and probably predictably, Can's video retrospective offers a lot more than glazed montages.
The first disc begins with the aforementioned Cologne performance, and should be required viewing and listening for any serious Can fan. Collectors are making noise that Mute dropped the ball by not including more live material (or at least different material than was present on the old Can Box video), but having this concert available on DVD can't be considered a bad thing. Director Peter Przygodda captures a band still in transition from raucous motorik mammoths to minimalist sound-painters. The opening scene cuts between close-ups of the band, a small child playing drums and other seemingly random images (an elephant, a tower, etc.); later, scenes of the band playing onstage are interspersed with scenes of them performing the same piece in the studio. The direction is a tad on the artsy side, but I think more or less in the spirit of the group. The bass-heavy, burning, claustrophobic version of "Spoon" that opens the show works wonders on any complaints I have of the filmmaking.
Przygodda also compiles the "Can Notes" documentary on disc one, which features interviews and footage from the band spanning 1997 (the press tour for the Sacrilege remix project) to 2003. "Can Notes" goes a long way towards establishing the various personalities of Can's members, all of which are repeatedly emphasized throughout the remainder of the set. Holger Czukay comes on like the wise, buoyant, eternally fascinated professor; Jaki Liebezeit is a simple, modest craftsman; Karoli, even in middle age, still a child of a different, boundless era; Schmidt surprised me the most in that he was clearly the greatest "star" of the band. He enjoys being offhandedly provocative, receiving no end of pleasure relating his tales of becoming "corrupted" in New York City in 1966.
The second disc contains another full-length documentary compiled by seasoned music video directors Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher. Of the most immediate interest are the performance clips of "Paperhouse", "Vernal Equinox" and their "disco" single, "I Want More", among others. The performances are taken from German television, and UK programs like Top of the Pops and Bob Harris' Old Grey Whistle Test, and are goldmines not only of Can-icana, but of vintage 70s music television direction. The 1971 "Paperhouse" performance, wherein the band are backed by a formless yellow-green background, and with Damo Suzuki in full hillgnome/hippie mode will have Schoolhouse Rock junkies running for cover. I was pleasantly surprised at the energy in the band's later 70s performances, like "Vernal Equinox" from 1975. This track didn't do much for me on the Landed album, but here the band blows it down in freaked-out disco-funk style. Similarly, their 1977 German TV instrumental renditions of "Moonshake" and "Dizzy Dizzy" blaze by, then with former-Traffic bassist Rosko Gee laying down a slippery fusion lines that eventually prompt Schmidt to get fucking crazy on his keyboard, slapping, elbowing and otherwise terrorizing the keys. All that and a scene where Karoli and Schmidt talk about nose hair!
Can has long been more of an occasional gathering than a "band," per se, and their decision to fill this collection's third disc with solo tracks by each of the members is entirely in line with past efforts like 1990's Cannibalism 3 compilation. For the most part, the music is sometimes reminiscent of Can, but more so (and suitably) of the individual forces at work. Schmidt's pieces with Kumo (who provides beats and other electronics) recall much of his solo work with evocative synth patches and a not-too-subtle classical influence, as if Schmidt would be perfectly at home providing space-age bachelor pad music for Maurice Ravel. Czukay's three live selections with his current collaborator U-She are exercises in "theories" of musique concrete put into gothic techno-pop practice, though not quite as openly embracing dance music as the pair's 2003 release, The New Millennium. Liebezeit's music with Flanger's Burnt Friedman is fittingly the most percussive of the collection-- even for a group of people who Schmidt describes as judging music "in the first place" by its rhythmic qualities. It's a shame Liebezeit's DVD footage isn't nearly as fleshed out as his one piece on disc three, but then, you have to respect a drummer who has refined his craft to the point where he doesn't even need to use his legs anymore.
There are a couple of things Can DVD makes clear. Firstly, they were one of the great live bands. If I have one complaint, it would not be that this set duplicates material from another box, but that there just isn't enough of it. Make no mistake: This is a band who have still yet to take advantage of the music in their vaults; I wouldn't be surprised if there are 10 discs' worth of top-notch concert material thus far unheard by anyone other than the band and the audience. Secondly, given the range of personalities, interests, aims and backgrounds that went into Can, it's a minor miracle that they're still known as one of the great, experimental collectives. Furthermore, it becomes obvious over the course of the documentaries that the remaining members are still very much a part of each others' lives. At any moment, if the mood should strike and everyone agrees it is the best decision, it seems they could reform and produce something of as great an impact as on any of their classic records. Or, they could leave behind all of this business tomorrow. Regardless, their music will remain vital for as long as people are fascinated with Whatever Comes Next.

Mohammed Ali used to boast that when boxing, he would float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. So it is with Germiane Greer. She writes lightly, gracefully even when agitating for a cause. But the words still sting. And unsettle. Here she consciously creates a quasi-religious epic out of a part of her remarkable life when she decided to restore a small, wrecked rainforest in Australia, her homeland. The tone is apocalyptic, themes existential and critical: (wo)man not against, but ardently for wondrous, pitiless and predatory nature. She, the Lionheart, is awed, meets devastation, fears cataclysms, intuits prophecies, bears historical and biological guilt, seeks redemption and takes stupendous, fervent action. It really is some story.

It looks extremely promising that the Green Party did so well in the Brazilian presidential elections. The Greens had been expected to get around 14 per cent of the vote but got 19 per cent, denying the favourite an outright victory. Brazil is the guardian of the Amazon which is vital to a world haunted by global warming. But the rainforest continues to shrink at the hands of a powerful agribusiness community. The economic future of Brazil, which is predicted to grow by 7 per cent next year, must not be bought at the cost of the environment.

It is over 30C, humid, and I'm pretty sure I've just been bitten by another blood-sucking leech – but I think I have the best job in the world.

PoliticsCentre-left's Letta named Italian PM New government led by Letta can go to parliament for vote of confidence by this weekend. 24 Apr 2013 15:52 GMT | Politics, Europe, Italy Italian President Giorgio Napolitano has nominated centre-left deputy leader Enrico Letta to form a new government, following elections in the eurozone's third largest economy in February. Letta is expected to quickly select a group of ministers, mixed between politicians and technocrats, under the guidance of Napolitano, whose own unprecedented re-election last weekend opened the way for an end to the crisis. The new government led by Letta, a former Christian Democrat from the right wing of his Democratic Party (PD), could go to parliament for a vote of confidence by this weekend. Formation of a government after two months of turbulent political impasse will send a signal that Italy might at last be ready to make a start on much-needed reforms. Accepting his mandate, Letta said he was surprised by the nomination and felt the profound responsibility on his shoulders. Italy faced a "difficult and fragile" situation which could not continue and the government must provide answers on jobs, poverty and the crisis facing small businesses in a deep recession, he said. "I feel a strong responsibility on my shoulders, stronger than my shoulders' ability to support it," he told reporters at the president's palace. He said Italy's politicians had "lost all credibility" and appealed to the whole of parliament to back his reform efforts, including convincing the European Union to change the direction of policy which is "too focused on austerity". Generational change Napolitano's choice of Letta instead of veteran former prime minister Giuliano Amato, who was said to have been his original favourite, indicated he had plumped for a more political figure who reflects a generational change in Italian politics. I feel a strong responsibility on my shoulders, stronger than my shoulders' ability to support it. Enrico LettaPrime Minister-designate of Italy Letta, an urbane moderate who speaks fluent English, is 46 against Amato's 74 and is an elected member of parliament unlike the older, more experienced man. Al Jazeera's Claudio Lavanga, reporting from Rome, said that while Letta is still young, he is already a veteran of Italian politics. "[Napolitano] believes that [Letta] is the man who could gather the consensus in the government among different political factions that the government needs to get the government going," Lavanga said. Our correspondent also said that "there is no doubt" Letta would win a vote of confidence in the lower house of the Italian parliament. If approved, Letta would be the second-youngest prime minister in Italian history and as a staunch pro-European is likely to be welcomed by foreign governments and markets. The new government will be backed primarily by Letta's centre-left and the centre-right of Silvio Berlusconi, which had failed to cut a deal following inconclusive elections in late February. Market relief Investors have already reacted with relief to the prospect of an end to the intractable crisis, with Italy's borrowing costs on Wednesday tumbling to their lowest level since the start of European monetary union in 1999. However, the country's problems are not over, with significant differences remaining between left and right over economic policy. These were put sharply into focus even before Letta was chosen when Renato Brunetta, house leader for Berlusconi's PDL party, said they would only support a government committed to repealing a housing tax introduced by outgoing technocrat premier Mario Monti and paying it back. The centre-left agrees only to a partial reduction of the tax and many economists said such a move would leave a gaping hole in Italy's public accounts. Letta, the nephew of Berlusconi's long-time chief of staff Gianni Letta, is close to former party leader Pier Luigi Bersani, who resigned at the weekend after rebels sabotaged him in the voting for a new president. Berlusconi's People of Freedom (PDL) party, Letta's PD and Monti's centrist Civic Choice movement had all said they would cooperate with whomever Napolitano chooses. Our correspondent said Berlusconi appears to be the biggest winner in the political in-fighting. "Silvio Berlusconi was given for defeated and done for in January before the elections," Lavanga said. But now, he is back with polls showing his party could win if elections are held, he added.Source: Agencies

CD, thanks! Yeah hope they enjoy it. Nice job on the T tail.
BHOFM Nice job. Word of advice, check the prop frequently. The wood tends to compress on the prop over time, and the prop will loosen up. Been there done that. And a pair of tips. or 3. Add some skid tape to the lower cowl intake. It takes the brunt of a nose over and saves the foam. It will happen. Save the wing tips. I glued a single control horn to the wing tip in front of the lip that runs down the chord on the end. It takes the abuse if you ground loop, instead of the wing tip. And easy to replace if need be. Kinda like the "axe handles" you see on WWI planes. |

UN Considers Sanctions Against Eritrea
Security Council Blames Eritrea for Somali Insurgency
The United Nations Security Council is reportedly considering pressure from the African Union to impose sanctions against the Eritrean government for "undermining the Djibouti Peace Process" and supporting the insurgency in Somalia.
The council issued a declaration today publicly condemning "the recent attacks on the Transitional Federal Government." Eritrea has been blamed for the weakness of the Somali goernment, and the US and the AU have claimed Eritrea is directly supporting the al-Shabaab movement.
Eritrea's Foreign Ministry condemned the Security Council's statement, saying it no authority to prop up the self-proclaimed Somali government, which it termed "illegitimate." It added the Eritrean government will never recognize a government "externally imposed" on Somalia.
Eritrea supported the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) in Somalia in opposing the 2006 Ethiopian invasion, ostensibly to repay the nation for its support in its own protracted war of secession with Ethiopia and while elements of the ICU have since taken control of parts of the dubious government of Somalia, the nation remains largely locked in a civil war over control of its major cities.

For the first time the tournament has a wood bat division, which features eight teams. This morning, Esko and Duluth Central used the lumber. The idea for a wood bat division came from tournament coordinator Scott Allen, who says there have been a few broken bats, but even a few home runs, and overall, it's just a great throwback for America's Pastime.
Scott Allen said, "You just can't reproduce the sound of the bat, the crack of the bat and the kids are just having a blast with it and putting the pine tar on the bat and it is just baseball and that is what it really comes down to. The kids get to experience it sooner, rather than later and in the old days, they did use wood bats and we have kind of lost that and the kids don't even know how to swing a wood bat correctly these days, so we teach that before each game so that they'll know how to swing and get the best pop out of the bat and allow it to last a little longer before they break, because occasionally, they will crack."

Rascal Flatts planning restaurant chain; Minneapolis on menu

Borrowing a note or two from Toby Keith, country band Rascal Flatts has launched a restaurant group with plans to open in several markets, including the Twin Cities.
The band's first restaurant site will be in Phoenix, the New Times reports. Developers are planning a 14,000-square-foot space with a bar and dining space as well as a stage for concerts.
Another eight locations are planned for 2013, including Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis, where Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill has been a big success in St. Louis Park's West End shopping center. That Toby Keith location was nominated last year for nightclub of the year from the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Mark Reilly manages daily and weekly coverage at the Business Journal newsroom.
