How to exchange the public key to the client place. i have encrypted a document(text file) using RSA algorithm by using private key and then stored the public key as an java.security.Key object in a file using serialization.I want to know about the integrity of the serialized public key object whether it is safe option to do or any other option available.
A public key is usually just exchanged as a piece of text. It is then imported into a keystore. The exact method of doing is depends on the implementation (I've always used PGP).
I wouldn't expose the key as a serialized form of java.security.Key because it's not really standard. The key in it's simple form is the standard form of interchange.
On exposing the key as a download: it's public, so there's nothing an intruder could do by downloading your key. The only thing that could go wrong is that someone could fake your server and host a different key. Then sign with that key's private key and claim to be you. Of course you could have the same issue if you mailed it to somebody. But then at least you would know who you mailed it to.
The safest approach is to spread the key out-of-bound. Like on a usb stick.
Depending on your cause, I think you can live with the risk.
Joeri has answered on the security aspects - I have nothing to add about that.
The main problem you might have is the serialized representation changing between library versions, which is a potential issue with any use of Java serialization.
Of course there are other ways to do it. The RSA public key should have an industry-standard encoding which you can access using the

Many of us get up in the mornings, go do our jobs as best we can, and come back home without ever really taking a closer look at how we influence the industry we live off of. While doing some research I came across some really interesting information that might help give you a great idea of where we stand in the construction business.
Generally speaking, the construction industry can be divided into three segments. The heavy and civil engineering contractors who build highways, bridges, roads, tunnels and other projects linked to a city's infrastructure; The construction of buildings segment, which include General Contractors who build residential, commercial and industrial buildings; and the biggest segment of all, us! Specialty trade contractors such as painters, plumbers and electricians make up 64% of the jobs in the construction industry.
Few industries offer the opportunity to own and operate your own business the way the construction sector does. That is why it comes as no surprise that last year about 1.8 million specialty trade workers were self-employed. The ratio of course varies depending on the trade specialty, as certain occupations require more expensive equipment than others. Take a look at the chart below to see the distribution range between trades:
***Statistics and graph courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Population growth, deteriorating infrastructure, and aging buildings will generate employment growth in the construction industry. The number of wage and salary jobs in the construction industry is expected to grow 19% through 2018, compared with the 11% that is projected for all other industries combined. The largest number of new jobs, of course, is expected to be in specialty trades area. Check out the table below for current percentages of jobs in specified trades:

If you haven't noticed, there have been a lot (i.e. a flood) of new audio products hitting the market recently. New technologies and features have been added to speaker systems to add value and maintain a competitive edge.
Tablets and smartphones make it easier to enjoy music just about anywhere, but the quality of listening is starting to head back toward that of Hi-Fi. This is especially so in speaker systems that are portable or portable-enough.
While the Wren V5BT speaker requires a constant power connection, it's small and light enough to be carried with ease. This small'ish speaker makes some bold claims, and oh boy does it back it up with a fervor.
Design & Controls
The [easyazon-link asin="B00GOEN5AS" locale="us"]Wren V5BT[/easyazon-link] has a unique, somewhat swanky design to it in a retro/throwback kind of way. The curves on each end is a refreshing departure from the typical, boxy shape that most speakers tend to adopt. It's great when the Wren speaker is positioned so one can view it with perspective. But if it happens to be sandwiched between a couple of shelves, like in an entertainment cabinet, it'll look boxy like most everything else.
The base of the Wren V5BT has a thick pad of silicone to keep the system set in place. You can play whatever music you want as loud as you want, and the speaker is not going to budge whatsoever (I tried).
The concave buttons on the side click nicely and are backlit as well. The controls are simple and more or less self-explanatory. You can toggle wireless and wired connectivity, and there is even a USB port in the back to charge a device (e.g. smartphone, MP3 player, etc.). It's actually both thoughtful and handy, especially if you leave a USB cable right there.
I have a love-hate relationship with the overall look of the Wren V5Bt. I really like the dark Rosewood, even it's just veneer. It's smooth and maintains a clean polish. The speaker has even more wood – it's what the interior cabinet is made of.
The MDF (medium density fiberboard) is denser and stronger than plywood and particle board. This construction is likely what leads to a lighter speaker with true-sounding timbre.
That's where my liking for the material ends. I think that the style and/or color of the front grill cheapens the appearance of the Wren V5BT speaker.
It's plastic and looks it. Black or charcoal-gray would have been a much better choice. Or at least something darker that looked far less artificial. At least with the Rosewood coloration.
Sound Quality
When it comes to the Wren V5BT speaker, you can expect big sound that carries across and through rooms. Like most speakers, the music will start to distort as the volume gets close to maxing out. However, the vocals maintain a strength and clarity that's relatively untouched by extreme volume output.
The Wren V5BT speaker projects forward very well – almost too well. Even though I can hear music from all around it, there seems to be a "cone of ideal listening." This cone is approximately a 70 degree arc from the speaker's center, from about 8 feet away. While standing in this cone, I bask in the Wren's intense beam of musical energy and all of its glory.
Once I move outside this area, the sound changes. It's sort of like side-stepping out of the direct sun into partial shade. Some of the details fade out some and are a little bit harder to pick up on. Mostly from the speaker side I'm moving away from. With this in mind, proper placement of the Wren speaker should be top priority. You'll want to be front and center to get the full experience.
Beautiful tones are heard in the upper registers. For the most part, the treble is sweet and lush, catering to acoustic music filled with violins and flutes. As I listen to Glenn Morgan's album, Southwind, I can hear how flurries of notes still remain distinct. Plucked string instruments have that natural-sounding, lingering decay. Wind instruments sound crisp and don't bleed or blend into each other.
Sometimes I feel as if the treble lacks air, possibly because of how well the music projects. I also find hi-hats a little on the light side, almost bordering toy'ish. But not quite. Thankfully, there's no sizzle.
There is a lot of vibrant energy that streams out from the mids, and the speaker delivers a great sense of space to tracks as they play. I find the mid and low-mid guitars and bass to be smooth and full.
The vocals are fantastic. If you listen to "A Martyr For My Love For You" off the White Stripes album, Icky Thump, you'll catch how well Jack White's vocals are forward, front and center. There is a clean separation of his voice to the other instruments, which are behind and off to the side.
The individual balance of volume by the Wren V5BT speaker is controlled. If you listen carefully, you can hear the gradual volume increase/decrease of specific instruments as they pick up and play or fade out. There is this added sense of depth and atmosphere as no one instrument overpowers another. The result is being able to hear moving layers that sound both rich and alive.
I was most surprised by the output of the lower registers. Drums hit hard and come right at you with a quick attack. Even though the lows can't achieve the same spaciousness or rumbling force as larger speaker systems do, what you hear is very natural-sounding and tight.
Not only can you feel the proper weight of the instruments in the low end, the Wren V5BT speaker brings out details that are both clear and visceral. The track "Here Come the Bastards" from Sailing The Seas of Cheese, by Primus, delivers an appropriately throaty bass output. Listen to "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. You get a sense of body and substance as the song leads off with the bass guitar and kick drum.
"Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey; The Wren V5BT delivers a performance that prickles the hair on the back of my neck. The reproduction of the orchestrated lows are, in a word, majestic.
The wireless signal is very strong with this one. I can maintain a solid signal from my Galaxy Note 2 as I move about the house. We're talking through walls, floors, and doors. Bodies passing between the Wren V5BT and smartphone are no big deal either. As long as I'm within 40 feet or so, there are no breaks, no pops, no fuzz. Just a pure music stream.
It's really hard to find much of any fault or drawback to owning the Wren V5BT speaker. This small wooden box doesn't strain itself in order to deliver some serious power and volume, all the while maintaining a keen balance. I've been pleased with virtually all the music I've put on, especially when I'm zoned into the sweet spot.
Bass-heads, and/or those who want some seriously juicy booms, might quibble over the size of the sound that comes out of the lows. Nitpicking aside, there is no denying the quality that you get. When you take the size into consideration as well, it becomes almost ridiculous to not be impressed.
My biggest gripe with the Wren V5BT is how it looks. Of course, this matter of color choice doesn't affect how I feel about the sound. But if I am lukewarm to its appearance, I know others will be too (and, controversially, there's likely many many more who love it, haha). Price? I'm sure that many would be on the fence about that too, but aren't we all "on the fence" about price for most everything?
For an indoor-portable speaker with strong Bluetooth wireless, ample connectivity, and sound output that betrays its size, the Wren V5BT is a solid choice for the money spent. Put on some of your favorite music or watch a movie, and any buyer's regret will melt away before you know it.

Ocean Exploration!
Ages 11-13
Marine Madness will take you on an ocean adventure exploring coastal ecosystems and marine habitats. The Rhode Island and Connecticut coastlines provide the backdrop for your week. You will visit and examine rocky shores, salt marshes, estuaries and Long Island Sound using hands-on exploration. In addition to Alton Jones, you will use the facilities and interact with the staff of both Mystic Aquarium and Project Oceanology in nearby Connecticut. This program offers a chance to learn more about the marine world while making new friends and having fun.
Sunday and Monday are spent at the W. Alton Jones Campus. You will sleep in cabins with some campers who are in your group and some who are in other groups, which will allow you to get to know lots of other kids. You will eat your meals in the dining hall, except Tuesday lunch through Wednesday dinner. Sunday is devoted to meeting and getting to know your cabin-mates and fellow Marine Madness campers, junior counselors, and counselors. Sunday night also includes an all-camp campfire where you will meet and see other campers and counselors in camp for the week.
Monday focuses on freshwater as a basis and comparison to the marine ecosystems. Swim tests, free-swim time and canoeing occur at Lake Eisenhower in the morning, so be ready to get wet! Monday afternoon is spent exploring freshwater ponds and streams on the W. Alton Jones Campus. Find critters in the wetlands and learn more about how they survive. Monday night involves an all-camp activity before heading to the cabin for a good night's sleep.
From Tuesday to Wednesday, the group travels to Connecticut. After breakfast, the group will travel in one or two 12 or 15-passenger vans to Mystic Aquarium (approx. 45 min. drive). We will meet up with the Mystic staff for the following activities (order may vary):
- Wet Lab at Mystic. The group settles into one of the classrooms in the Aquarium and participates in a lab. The lab offers participants the opportunity to get up close and personal with the subject matter. Hands-on work is a highlight of the lab.
- Trip to Hammonasett State Beach. This van ride is approximately 45 minutes from Mystic. While at the state beach, you will have a pack-out lunch and will be given free swim time after lunch. We then move to a special permit-only area of the beach to explore the salt marsh and rocky shore. Seine nets and other sampling gear is used to view the inhabitants of these areas.
- Explore the Aquarium. Tuesday late afternoon you will return to the Aquarium and be given time to change and explore the aquarium exhibits with the Mystic staff while your counselors prepare your dinner. Dinner is served in a lounge in the aquarium. Nighttime observations and "backstage tours" are a part of the evening at the aquarium.
- Mystic Sleepover. Tuesday is the sleepover at the Mystic Aquarium. Campers get ready for bed and set-up their sleeping bags in the aquarium's Undersea World right next to the exhibits!
Wednesday morning you wake-up, pack-up and get ready for the day. After breakfast at the aquarium, the group heads off for the day's activities (order may vary):
- Boat trip with Project Oceanology, Groton, Ct.: This van ride is approximately 15 minutes from Mystic. Upon arrival you will hop onboard the R/V Enviro-Lab and you will head out into Long Island Sound. While on-board you will help conduct research by catching organisms in an otter trawl net and by testing various forms of water quality. A pack-out lunch is eaten back on land after the boat ride.
- Crabbing at Barn Island, Stonington, Ct.: After a brief (15 min.) van ride you will arrive at Barn Island to catch some crabs. You are involved in all aspects of catching the crabs, including, baiting your own line! Time is spent learning about the different kinds of crabs and you may even have some fun with crab races.
You will return to W. Alton Jones Wednesday in time to get cleaned-up and ready for dinner. After dinner, you will be involved in an all-camp activity.
Thursday you will go to the Rhode Island coast on an all-day field trip to continue to explore the marine world. The trip will be either to the island of Jamestown, to explore the rocky coast of Beavertail State Park and go snorkeling. Or we will go to East Beach in Charlestown, part of Rhode Island's largest protected barrier beach coastline, to explore a salt pond with snorkels and nets and spend some time riding the waves in the ocean. You will return in time to get ready and have dinner at camp. Thursday evening, you will participate in the final night of all-camp activities, which includes the closing campfire. [Note: Week 2, due to the shortened week for July 4th, Thursday will be the day for wrap-up and check out.]
Friday is spent putting the whole week together with review and wrap-up activities. After lunch and a closing activity is the family program and checkout.

Some 200 Jewish students attending Atlantic University receive fake eviction notice sent by pro-Palestinian activists
Published: 04.09.12, 16:28 / Israel News
More than 200 Jewish students attending Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, were surprised to find "eviction notices" posted to their dorm room doors on Friday.
The students later found out that the fake notices were placed by the Students for Justice in Palestine.

'People felt threatened.' The eviction notice
The Jewish students' campus organization, he added, is leaving the investigation up to the university, at this time: "We want a statement that Jewish students will be safe on campus and have a safe environment in which to live," he said.
According to the report, SJP has some 75 chapters across the United States that host Palestinian-awareness programs perceived by many as anti-Israel.
The group advocates boycott campaigns and annual Israeli Apartheid Weeks.

Mysticism for Beginners By Adam Zagajewski
The day was mild, the light was generous.
The German on the café terrace
held a small book on his lap.
I caught sight of the title:
Mysticism for Beginners.
Suddenly I understood that the swallows
patrolling the streets of Montepulciano
with their shrill whistles,
and the hushed talk of timid travelers
from Eastern, so-called Central Europe,
and the white herons standing—yesterday? the day before?—
like nuns in fields of rice,
and the dusk, slow and systematic,
erasing the outlines of medieval houses,
and olive trees on little hills,
abandoned to the wind and heat,
and the head of the Unknown Princess
that I saw and admired in the Louvre,
and stained-glass windows like butterfly wings
sprinkled with pollen,
and the little nightingale practicing
its speech beside the highway,
and any journey, any kind of trip,
are only mysticism for beginners,
the elementary course, prelude
to a test that's been

I have partially implemented a solution using an grails filter and a session listener that required me to modify the web.xml. The session listener tells me when the session has ended, and the grails filter tells me when any controller has been called for the first time with an authenticated user.
It appeared to me that both were required because either grails or the acegi plugin creates a new session automatically so I needed to the grails filter to determine when the session actually has an authenticated user.
I am saying all of this to say, is there an easier approach that does not require a filter and a sessionListener. Just looking to clean up the code so when I need to get back to it later it will still make sense

Messier Marathon?
Posted 03 February 2014 - 04:34 PM
When I go out scoping to a DSS, I have a list of DSOs, usually a few are Messiers, but a lot are NGCs, ICs or other designations. I love to include Messiers, but of my choosing, not someone else's. True, Messiers are often are the brightest DSOs and tend to show the most detail. BUT, I have observed the Messier objects lots of times over the years. So tell me, what should motivate me to devote one night, or nights, to just finding and verifying a group of objects that I have observed numerous times?
Now, I know there is the aspect of food and fellowship at these events, but you can have these at any star party.
When I go out to my DSS to observe DSOs or any type of objects, I am after quality time, and taking my time, and maybe sketching them, and getting the most out of the objects I observe. Sure, I would like to observe as many of the objects that I planned to, but, I am first after quality, not quantity.
Sorry, but the idea of seeing how many Messier's I can catch and confirm in my scope in a night really does not excite me.

You know, if you have ever been to a 5K/10K/Marathon, there are lots of people hanbging around not actually running.
Do what you like.

I wonder what old Charles Messier would think of us and these Messier Marathons if he were around today? You think he would want to spend all night chasing down all of them?
More like avoiding them. After all, they were originally recorded as objects to avoid while looking for comets.
Posted 04 February 2014 - 12:28 AM
I think old Charles would absolutely love to look through todays telescopes at his list of objects. He would be amazed at what he discovered and documented !!
I think he would be far more amazed at what all has been learned about the universe since his time.
Posted 04 February 2014 - 09:38 AM
You know, that is an oft repeated piece of knowledge that we all know (and repeat). But that explanation did not come up until long after he started making his list. He had published his list, and it had been around for a long time. It included things like the Beehive and Pleiades--things that would never be mistaken for comets.
I wonder how true it is to say he was just trying to make a list of things that were not comets even though they looked like them.
(But yeah, he would be weirded out by all of us Marathoning him.--What he would have called a "Me Marathon.")

Yeah, I'm just regurgitating stuff I read somewhere. Who knows what was really in his head at the time? Would be nice to bring him back to life so we could pick his brain a bit.

I haven't attended for a few years because I've gotten older and it's just too darn hard to stay up all night, and then dangerous to drive home in the morning and be crabby the next day. Also, I've seen them all several times, I have my Messier certificate and there's so much else out there to discover. I may attend our MM, but I'll do my own thing and quit for the night when I feel like it. The best part about attending a MM would be to help some newbies and enjoy the camaraderie and atmosphere.
Posted 06 February 2014 - 10:39 PM
I wonder what would happen if I showed up for a M.M., but declined to participate in the marathon and just went about observing what I wanted to observe?
Why not make it a game? See how many you can get without a chart, so just by memory of where they are. I did this a few years back. All I was armed with was the list of the order they should be tracked down. It didn't even have the constellation on it. It was on the correct night for the MM but I had to work the next day so I went to the best local spot in my community. I wasn't even with the rest of my club. Between twilght and 1100pm I was able to log 68 objects and only had to look up 2. It was fun. Then there is the next level of the challenge to even remember the order they need to be tracked down. In my mind it isn't run of the mill until I can do both of those challenges. Just a thought of how to take this to the next level.

I participated once and it was fun. But as the Original Poster said, I have a list of stuff to go and observe, draw or image.
Clear skies to us all;

Don't read too much into MM's. If you don't like the concept, don't do it. As was pointed out, many people attend MM's and don't actually do the Marathon, per se. I'm personally not crazy these days about actually doing a Messier Marathon, so instead, I have run a couple.
Messier Marathons are meant to be fun, not too serious, and they can be a great way for someone to hone their observing skills. I tend to think of it more of a training exercise, not necessarily an observing run. And I think training and practice are an important component of improving visual acquisition, star hopping, and many other skills we use in amateur astronomy.
Like I said earlier, I've run a few Marathons before and one thing I do with the Marathon is to add some game rules to make it more interesting (for those who want to participate) and compel finding objects that are outside the Messier list in the process (Herschel 400's, Arp galaxies, HCG's, et al). For the folks who did participate, they had the potential to win fun trinkets and bragging rights. And in a couple of instances, I saw relative newcomers start the first year learning the ins and outs of star hopping, learning what they needed to improve, and then show up the second year bagging big numbers (and in the process, morphing into serious, good observers outside of the Marathon).
MM's aren't necessarily for everyone, nor do they pretend to be. But like everything, you get out of it what you put into it.

With No One As Witness (2005)
by Elizabeth George
No current Talk conversations about this book.
What a phenomenal book! Powerful with in-depth characters and a great plot. Not your everyday murder mystery. WELL worth the read.
I love Elizabeth George's books. Everyone I have read has left me wanting more. This one is no exception. I want to look for more of her work.
It was fairly clear early on who the "bad guy" was, but not 100% for sure definitively. That was an added bonus. No spoiler alerts here, There is no reason to spoil your fun.
The book is pretty long for a mystery. My paperback came in at 630 pages! But I had to continue to read.... There are four plots going on. One is the eternal style-differential between Lynley and his superior officer Hillier. One is Constable Barbara Havers and her neighbors. The other two would need "spoiler alerts" notices, so I won't go there.
It could be that all Lynley's books have these plots to some degree, but I am a neophyte, having only seen the Masterpiece Mystery versions. Part of the reason I found this book so compelling was precisely because I had seen episodes with shadows of this book, but never exactly this book.
As always, a good story, enjoyable ongoing characters. Her books are not "a piece of fluff". They take some concentration!
What a phenomenal book! Powerful with in-depth characters and a great plot. Not your everyday murder mystery. WELL worth the read.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060545615, Mass Market Paperback)When the Metropolitan Police fail to realise a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the killer's victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalised racism is claimed by the community's activists and tabloids alike. Acting Superintendent Thomas Lynley is given the case, and his Scotland Yard task force is soon handling more killings and a looming tragedy.Elizabeth George brings to the familiar subject of the serial killer a freshness and clarity of vision that provide illuminating insight into the psychological complexity of the tortured criminal mind. She does so within a richly textured, thrillingly suspenseful narrative that defies any reader to predict its outcome. Nor does she neglect our favourite characters, whose private lives provide an engrossing counterpoint to their professional duties.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:19 -0400)
When an adolescent boy is found murdered under bizarre circumstances, New Scotland Yard acting superintendent Thomas Lynley and his colleagues tie the crime to a series of killings but find the case complicated by racial issues. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley takes on the case of his career. When it comes to spellbinding suspense and page-turning excitement, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George always delivers. As the Wall Street Journal raves, "Ms. George can do it all, with style to spare." In With No One as Witness, Elizabeth George has crafted an intricate, meticulously researched, and absorbing story sure to enthrall her readers. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley is back, along with his longtime partner, the fiery Barbara Havers, and newly promoted Detective Sergeant Winston Nkata. They are on the hunt for a sinister killer. When an adolescent boy's nude body is found mutilated and artfully arranged on the top of a tomb, it takes no large leap for the police to recognize this as the work of a serial killer. This is the fourth victim in three months but the first to be white. Hoping to avoid charges of institutionalized racism in its failure to pursue the earlier crimes to their conclusion, New Scotland Yard hands the case over to Lynley and his colleagues. The killer is a psychopath who does not intend to be stopped. Worse, a devastating tragedy within the police ranks causes them to fumble in their pursuit of him.… (more)

The title Young Frankenstein is an immediately recognizable relic in the canon of one of the greatest comedic minds of our time: Mel Brooks. And the title role was historically created by the great Gene Wilder, so building on the tradition of this classic film is no small task. Thankfully, the musical version of Young Frankenstein rises to the challenge, preserving the heart of the film while adding a fresh spin and musical framework with music and lyrics by Brooks himself. Fans of the film, which also starred Peter Boyle, Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Kenneth Mars, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, and Gene Hackman, should be pleasantly surprised to find how this spectacular stage version measures up.
The show starts off with a peppy number ("The Happiest Town in Town") by the townspeople of Transylvania Heights. It then moves to an introduction to the serious, studious Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (ably performed in the current tour by A.J. Holmes), who professes his love of real science over the mad antics of his grandfather in "The Brain" (Broadway fans like myself enjoy the lyrical and musical allusion to South Pacific's "There is Nothing Like a Dame"). His girlfriend, Elizabeth (portrayed by the strong-voiced Lexie Dorsett), is introduced in the titillating number "Please Don't Touch Me," the first of many pieces of sexual humor, in which his hilarious frustration at having to wait until their wedding night to consummate the relationship is played out.
The comedic momentum continues when Frederick meets Igor (played enthusiastically by Christopher Timson), and they perform a perfectly choreographed song, "Together Again." One of the highlights of the show for me was the introduction of Inga (played in perfect character by Elizabeth Pawlowski), the eager, young lab assistant whose innuendo-heavy song, "Roll in the Hay," proved to be one of the funniest pieces of physical comedy in the show. Their trip to the castle in a hay-filled wagon provides plenty of comic bumping, gyrating, and awkward positioning, not to mention an impressive vocal performance despite the rough ride.
The introduction of Frau Blucher (portrayed by the seasoned Pat Sibley), a surly woman whose name memorably elicits the neighing of horses no matter where she is, leads into her hilariously blunt song about the departed Victor von Frankenstein, "He Vas My Boyfriend." After the creation of the Monster (channeled by Rory Donovan), which features some dramatic special effects, Act One ends with a number that exemplifies Broadway at its best. "Transylvania Mania" pulls out all the stops and shows off the choreography of 5-time Tony-winner Susan Stroman (The Producers). It doesn't get much better than that.
The beginning of Act Two features a touching moment between Frederick and Inga, "Listen to Your Heart," followed by another comic number from Elizabeth, "Surprise." Another truly outstanding moment from the show, however, occurs when the Monster stumbles into the shack of an old blind man (played and sung beautifully by Britt Hancock) in "Please Send Me Someone." This is the best sequence of physical comedy in the show. Accidentally spilling hot soup on someone's lap can be funny, but the precise orchestration of the bits in this scene is spot-on and laugh-out-loud funny. After the signature "Puttin' on the Ritz" scene, which features the Monster's unique rendition of the classic Irving Berlin song and some more spectacular choreography, Elizabeth returns with her most perfectly naughty song, "Deep Love." Her initially unwanted tryst with the hulking Monster soon turns into an obsession that is deliciously dirty and a highlight of the show.
Young Frankenstein is a treat for both fans of the movie and Broadway devotees alike. It is one of the best hybrids of truly great source material and complementary musical features that I have ever seen. With well-written songs featuring considerable vocal talent, bits of finely tuned physical comedy, lavish dance numbers, and the comedy of Mel Brooks, what's not to love?

Unwelcome Innovations
One oddity of this last week was that I posted a blog which seemed to stay up for about half a day and then vanished into the blogosphere. What it was about was an attack of heavy metal, or apparently so. There was a perfectly shattering racket which sounded like someone throwing sheet steel off the back of a truck. Bam Bam Bam. I hurtled outside full of that traditional dread which attends those who employ a gardener or factotum of any description — what has he thought of to do next? … which we will then, in due course, be expected to pay for??? In the case of the Refugee Gardener we are at least not moving in completely opposite directions. It is true that The Shed now resembles a WWI dugout complete with a small, military, gas stove, and that there is polythene down over the dahlias (a real and proper big house gardener, with a real & proper big house as opposed to our shambolic establishment, whom Peter met on the train back from Our Nation's Capital, was onto this like a knife. 'Ah. Polythene already. He'll be putting your dahlias into the Turriff show'). But without spending an undue amount of time on my knees, I can persuade him to spend a little of his skill and energy on the borders once in a while, so we are fortunate. Anyway. In this particular instance, there was no Refugee Gardener, no heavy metal, no nothing. I went back to work, and about half an hour later, it happened again. This time I was more tuned to the source of the racket's being within the house, and duly located a hysterical jackdaw trying to fly through the dining room window. It had fallen down the chimney, and presumably its previous efforts had temporarily stunned it. One of the various birthday gifts with which I was showered by the Real World Consultant and his better half was a somewhat indescribable garment which is half overgrown shawl and half undergrown poncho. Whatever it is I adore it and wear it all the time when I'm typing, and when I found a cross-eyed, half stunned jackdaw gaping on the windowsill having flown beak-first into the window for the umpteenth time, it was the work of a second to bundle the little blighter up in the aforementioned Indescribable and shove it out of the front door. I really would not have believed how much noise it made unless I had heard it for myself.
Yesterday, since the Northern Professor wasn't feeling at his best, I called upon my ex-gamekeeper for the vibrant and multicultural shopping experience which is downtown Turriff. I duly acquired a variety of vibrant and multicultural shopping (dishwasher tablets … loo roll …Cheddar …) and he drove me home again. 'Oi!' he said, bristling, as we passed the garden centre. 'That wasn't there yesterday'. There on the horizon was a windmill, and the long neck of a vast crane: by the AG's way of it, and I completely trust him on such topics, it must have gone up within the previous twelve hours. It's invisible from our place (and his parents'), and you just see it on the first quadrant of the track. But it still comes as a shock to see it starkly rearing on the horizon when the only change of view you expect is barley-potatoes-oilseed.

Today ( June 2 – 2009) at E3 Sony Conference, Rockstar Fans were surprised when suddenly Rockstar Games Logo appear could be Rockstar Exclusive Title announced in 2007. Sony said Rockstar Games are releasing an Exclusive game for Playstation 3. Rockstar North ( Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt ) is currently working on the game.
The game is called Agent which will take players all around the globe in the shadowy world of late 1970s espionage.
Announcement Video.
Editorial: What to expect from Agent?
Perhaps the quietest of announcements from the Sony's 2009 E3 conference was also the most significant. Rockstar Games will be making a new IP exclusively for the PS3, whats more Rockstar's flagship studio, Rockstar North answering the call. According to one of the Houser brothers, the IP will be given production values as much as any Rockstar game and even hopes to make something as big as GTA IV.
So how can Rockstar make a new game in the brink of Cold War while at the same time separate itself from GTA and other games of its portfolio? Well, here is my vision of Agent.

It depends on what they mean by revealed. Obviously Agent has already been announced, but if by "revealed" they mean a trailer, screenshots, etc., then that could be it.
Massacre, you make me look like a rational, moral, kind person.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a map of areas in London that it says UAE nationals should avoid while holidaying in the capital. For many UAE nationals, London is a second home, but two armed attacks on Emiratis in London last spring saw their confidence in the safety of the British capital plummet. The official map, I imagine, goes some way to address those fears.
As a Londoner myself, I have to agree that there are certain parts of the capital I'd be reluctant to visit on my own or at night for fear of being mugged, raped or even stabbed. London is, after all, like any other major city in the world.
But the map doesn't mention any of the places I would avoid. Instead, it flags up areas such as the length of Oxford Street; Edgware Road – which, incidentally, is where I got my first taste of UAE life as I watched scores of gleaming UAE-registered cars pull up outside the shisha cafés; Shepherd's Bush; Soho; and Piccadilly. Apparently these are all places where there's a "threat of criminal activity such as pick-pocketing, theft and fraud".
I'm sure most Londoners just fell off their chairs laughing at the thought of avoiding Oxford Street simply because you might get your pockets picked. When you've grown up in any major city such as London, it's obvious how you should and shouldn't behave on the street. You learn to blend into the crowd when necessary; you know not to carry your money visibly; not to show off any obvious signs of wealth.
But the UAE is a different kettle of fish. That sort of petty crime is almost non-existent: you're never going to be mugged for your wallet, your smartphone or your priceless jewellery in Dubai Mall. The UAE is a country where you can accidentally leave cash and £215,000 worth of diamonds in a taxi and expect it to be returned. I haven't heard the squawl of a car alarm for 16 years.
To be honest, I wonder how many UAE nationals will heed the warning anyway: telling an Emirati in London to stay away from Marble Arch, Bond Street, Oxford Street and the siren call that is Selfridges is like telling a Brit on holiday in Dubai to stay out of the swim-up pool bar.
It would be far more useful, I'd imagine, to advise Emiratis on precautions they can take to avoid becoming targets of petty crime while in London. The simplest way to avoid being pick-pocketed in Marble Arch, after all, is to make sure there's nothing worth picking in the pocket.
Annabel Kantaria is a journalist who's lived in the UAE long enough to call it home. She'd quite like to ride a camel to work, is amused to see the gold-plated supercars are now in London and has little worth stealing anyway. Follow her on Twitter: @BellaKay; and on Instagram: dubaipix

A less than stellar start to the season for Man-U.
TSN courtesy of The Canadian Press reported:
Since Burnley was last in England's top division in 1975-76, the club had played United just three times. United had triumphed in each encounter -- all in the League Cup -- by a combined 9-0.
ESPN-SoccerNet stated:
Burnley celebrated a night they will never forget as veteran duo Robbie Blake and Brian Jensen emerged the heroes in a sensational 1-0 victory over Manchester United. Blake's name will go down as the matchwinner, and rightly so for a fine 18th-minute near post volley which flashed past Ben Foster after a sustained period of Clarets pressure.
But Jensen deserved equal billing for a superb penalty save to deny Michael Carrick an equaliser just before half-time.
Jensen then kept his cool during a tense second-half that United dominated, without ever looking likely to deny a team desperately trying to record their first top flight win since 1976.
Owen harshly had a goal ruled out for offside when he appeared to have timed his run onto Patrice Evra's through-ball to perfection before beating Jensen at the second attempt.
Is it too early in the Premiereship season to be concerned about lack of finishing?

Parramatta accommodation
Parramatta is one of Sydney's most historically significant suburbs, with numerous locations over a century old. It is situated in Sydney West, almost halfway between charming Rooty Hill and the bustling CBD.
History in Parramatta
Originally built in 1799 by Governor John Hunter, Parramatta's Old Government House is the oldest public building in Australia and is UNESCO World Heritage listed. It was once the residence of many Australian governors including Governor Macquarie. The original central area was extended in 1815 by the Macquaries, and is now open to tourists. History buffs can come to the massive 200 acre plot of land every day except Mondays to see the classic furnishings and colourful design, before stopping for a souvenir in the on-site gift shop or a bite to eat at the restaurant. Ghost tours are also available for those who dare.
To see animals and hide away in a secluded paradise visit the Lake Parramatta Reserve. This splendid lake sits on 60 hectares of beautiful land, home to over 60 species of bird, 12 species of reptile, and 13 species of mammal. The park is widely considered as one of the most significant bush areas of Sydney West and offers guests walks, picnic spots and historical remnants of the Aboriginal people who once resided here.
An easy six-minute drive from central Parramatta is Elizabeth Farm, a hands-on museum that features no barriers, no off-limits areas and loads of items to see and touch. The farmhouse cottage itself was originally built in 1793 and extended slowly over a period of years. It has stood through numerous major historical events, such as the Castle Hill Convict Rebellion, and now has a reconstructed 1830s garden for you to bring your children to and freely explore.
Accommodation in Parramatta
If you're travelling on a budget, consider the affordable Accor hotel, the ibis Budget Wentworthville, just 10 minutes from the Parramatta centre. The great prices start from around $60, and rooms include air conditioning and your choice of bed size.
A short 11-minute walk from the Parramatta ferry wharf is the luxurious Novotel Sydney Parramatta. Here you have a choice of 193 rooms, each with air conditioning and a Jacuzzi, as well as the chance to take a dip in the relaxing outdoor heated swimming pool. Two Forks Restaurant and Bar is also on-site to cater for your lunch, dinner or that sneaky evening drink.
For a budget that suits somewhere in between, book into the Mercure Sydney Parramatta for a comfortable, yet still affordable, Parramatta hotel. The Mercure Parramatta is only a three-minute drive from the ferry wharf and has an on-site restaurant that serves an all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast, as well as 164 air conditioned rooms of varying size and conference facilities to hold up to 160 delegates.
When you want a comfortable Accor hotel within a charming suburb filled to the brim with Australian colonial history choose Parramatta as your next getaway. It will place you near the heart of Sydney West to explore its many splendours, as well as offering you plenty of options to go and see the rest of the world-famous city.

We have the following mission statement:
"To ensure the memory of, and support to, those who serve through Welcome Home Veterans Living Military Museum at Richard's Coffee Shop".
MONDAY-SATURDAY: 8am to 3pm
THURSDAY: Vets Free Coffee / SATURDAY: Blue Grass
What started out... as a little shop named Pat's Gourmet Coffee Shop, named in honor of his wife, became much more. It became a "Living" Military Museum, named in honor of the man who spent the last 14 years of his life honoring and supporting America's Veterans. It was owned and operated by Richard Warren, a U.S. Army, Vietnam Huey gunship pilot, callsign "Mustang 53".
With his background Richard made a point of extending the traditional veterans greeting of "Welcome Home" to every veteran who came in the shop. Over time, Pat's became a gathering place for veterans of all ages and a collection of artifacts, awards, magazine and newspaper articles slowly accumulated. more >>>

In the spring of 1944 Bill and his P-51C Mustang, the 'Berlin Express' were near Paris when the scene that is immortalized in the artwork by Len Krenzler of Action Art took place.
Bill had followed a German Bf109 fighter from the bombers he was escorting when most of the German fighters left. The two planes had been in a running dogfight. The German pilot flew over Paris hoping that the heavy German anti-aircraft artillery would solve his problem and eliminate Overstreet and the 'Berlin Express', though Bill managed to get some hits in at about 1500 feet. The German's engine was hit, and Bill stayed on his tail braving the intense enemy flak. His desperation undoubtedly growing, the German pilot aimed his plane at the Eiffel Tower and in a surprising maneuver, flew beneath it. Undeterred, Bill followed right behind him, scoring several more hits in the process.
The German plane crashed and Bill escaped the heavy flak around Paris by flying low and full throttle over the river until he had cleared the cities heavy anti-aircraft batteries.

Three polling places report minor issues; voting not affected
Published: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 5:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 5:25 p.m.
When Fred Posner walked up to the ballot machine at Precinct 22 at about 8 a.m. Tuesday, he was disturbed when a poll worker told him the machine wasn't working and then slid his ballot into what's known as an "emergency bin" inside the machine.
"I have no idea what's going on with my vote whatsoever," Posner said in an email to The Gainesville Sun.
That snafu was one of three minor glitches in an otherwise smooth system Tuesday, Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter said.
She explained that a metal bar on the ballot box, which was in place to prevent vote fraud, had not been unlocked. Once poll workers realized that, they switched the key to the proper position and ran through Posner's ballot, along with several others that had not been counted.
"It happens periodically," Carpenter said. "It's very early in the morning."
Precinct 49 at the First Baptist Church near Jonesville opened six minutes late. Carpenter explained that the official from the church designated to unlock the building arrived about half an hour late, apologizing and explaining he had been stuck in traffic. Poll workers scrambled to do an hour's worth of work in half an hour.
"There were two people there and they patiently waited for the six minutes and then went ahead and cast their ballots," Carpenter said.
The final incident happened at the precinct at Northwest 15th Avenue and 4th Street, when a car accident occurred in the street in front of the precinct. One man received minor injuries and Carpenter said it did not affect voting.

Second Teaser For Korean Gorilla Baseball Comedy MR. GO
The chances of Korean sports comedy Mr. Go successfully winning over the hearts and minds of the family-friendly crowd rest squarely on the broad shoulders of the Baseball-playing Gorilla, a CG character created through director Kim Yong-hwa's own studio Dexter Digital. The attempt to fully realize a believable gorilla as the main star in a 3D digital film without the luxury of a Hollywood-size blockbuster budget has proven to be major challenge for a Korea production and was long considered too risky to undertake. Well, a second teaser has arrived that showcases more actual footage with the digital VFX and it looks like they hit it out of the park in achieving their technical goal and defying expectations.
The cast include Xu Jiao (Starry Starry Night, CJ7) and Sung Dong-il (Take Off, 200 Pounds Beauty).
The cast include Xu Jiao (Starry Starry Night, CJ7) and Sung Dong-il (Take Off, 200 Pounds Beauty).
Wei Wei grew up in the circus with a bat-swinging gorilla named Ling Ling. After her grandfather dies in the Great Sichuan Earthquake, she has only Ling Ling to depend on. In order to pay her grandfather's debt, she has no choice but to accept sports agent Sung's proposal to bring Ling Ling to the Korean Baseball League. Despite serious doubts and ridicule from the league, Ling Ling, now dubbed 'MR. GO', becomes an instant hit, hitting one home run after another and propelling his loundering team to the playoffs. However, the rise to stardom is met with unexpected troubles and MR. GO must now face adversaries beyond his control.You'll find the second teaser embedded below. Mr. Go 3D will be released theatrically in Korea in July.

Bestselling CDs
Notable CDs | The five bestselling "electronic" albums according to Billboard, March 26
Bestselling CDs
The five bestselling "electronic" albums according to Billboard magazine, March 26
1. FIRED UP! 2 - Various Performers
Weeks on chart: 5
Style: Dance-club hits circa 1998-2003.
Objectionable material: "Sexual (Li Da Di)," by Amber.
Worldview: Not only that people will dance to anything as long as it's set to an unvarying, electronically enhanced beat but also that they're more likely to buy it if it's labeled "As Seen on TV."
Overall quality: Monotonously homogeneous despite the occasional comic relief (e.g., Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice").
2. COSMIC GAME - Thievery Corporation
Weeks on chart: 3
Style: Thirteen co-credited special guests singing and rapping subversively in four languages atop global trance-dance beats both slow and not so slow.
Worldview: "Miss Liberty turn inna Jezebel. / All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell. / Her bed of roses are filled with thorns. / Her righteous robes are tattered and torn" ("Amerimacka," featuring Notch).
Overall quality: Less tuneful than thoughtful, less thoughtful than the Scissor Sisters.
3. GIVE UP - The Postal Service
Weeks on chart: 101
Style: Airy, minimalistic electronic pop.
Worldview: "I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images, and when we kiss, they're perfectly aligned, / and I have to speculate that God Himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay" ("Such Great Heights").
Overall quality: Less meaningful than tuneful, more tuneful than any other top-five electronic-chart album except the Scissor Sisters.
4. SCISSOR SISTERS - Scissor Sisters
Weeks on chart: 33
Style: '70s Brit-pop with contemporary electronic touches.
Objectionable material: "Laura," "Music Is the Victim" (obscenity, crude slang), "Lovers in the Backseat," "Filthy Gorgeous" (lasciviousness), Ana Matronic's see-through clothing.
Worldview: "If Jesus has the power, then so do I, / to rise up from the dead and take up to the sky."
Overall quality: They love the Me Decade, they love it not.
5. PUSH THE BUTTON - The Chemical Brothers
Weeks on chart: 7
Style: Six co-credited special guests singing and rapping subversively in one language (English) atop ominously abrasive trance-dance beats both fast and not so fast.
Worldview: "Don't hold back. Don't think about it too much . . . / World, the time has come to galvanize" ("Galvanize"); "I need you to believe in something" ("Believe," featuring Kele Okereke).
Overall quality: The album title notwithstanding, hardly the thing to start a global conflagration.
In the spotlight
If dancing is supposed to be fun and the target audience for the music on Billboard's "electronic" chart is dancers, one would think that today's best-selling electronic music would be fun. But aside from Scissor Sisters (whose album is only tangentially electronic), and the Postal Service (whose album is only tangentially dance friendly), the music suffers from a monotony that afflicted its most obvious forebear-disco-only at its most decadent extremes.
One reason is the absence of any noticeable soul or rhythm-and-blues influence. Another reason is the absence of humor. Disco, especially early on, was anything but grim. But, again, aside from the Scissor Sisters, whose Bee Gees-styled discofication of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" is genuinely funny, the current crop works so hard at the fun they're allegedly having that it seldom seems worth the trouble.

The supermarket giant unveiled its plans to turn a pub on the sandy peninsula in Poole Harbour, Dorset, into a store last year, which sparked uproar from horrified locals.
The neighbourhood has some of the most expensive property in Britain, with bungalows selling for millions of pounds.
Residents said the store would look 'like a filling in a set of teeth' and thought a Waitrose or Marks and Spencers would be more suited to the affluent area.
A petition was started in a bid to stop the convenience shop opening in Sandbanks, which is the fourth most expensive area in the world to live.
But Tesco have now revealed that they are continuing with the controversial plans, and the store is expected to open in July.
Under development rights regulations, the supermarket chain is able to convert the Sandacres Pub into a shop without planning permission.
It did submit four applications for minor changes, which include a cash point, shop frontage, cycle stands, 6ft fencing, new windows and air conditioning units.
Around 425 people have signed the campaign against the shop, which states that residents are 'far from happy to be next to and/or looking out on to a Tesco Express.'
Some of the well-heeled residents think the blue and red logo will be too garish for the upmarket location and others are concerned about additional noise and traffic.
Peter Oliver, the manager of the Cafe Shore eatery on Sandbanks, said: "Having a Tesco here with their bright logo is going to be a real eyesore.
"It's going to look like a filling in a set of teeth. A Marks and Spencer would have been much better suited to the area and would have blended in well.
"I don't drive so the store would be useful but I'd rather have something that looked nice instead of a logo that stands out from a mile away.
"Everyone is saying the same thing and I don't think many people will be happy about it."
Ross Stallion, a 36-year-old sales director from neighbouring Canford Cliffs, said: "The area could do with a convenience store but a Waitrose or Marks and Spencer would be better suited."
The petition was started by Karen Denham who owns nearby newsagent Sandbanks Stores and believes resident's views have been 'totally ignored'.
She said: "I believe local people will boycott it, a lot of my regulars here have already said they will not use it."
A spokesman for Tesco said: "We think it will be really handy for people who are looking for a sandwich, are looking to add something extra to their picnic and for those who need to top up their weekly shop with a few extra essentials."
Sandbanks is known for its multi-million pound harbour-front mansions.
Its high profile residents include ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp and computer magnate Sir Peter Ogden.
A Tesco spokesman said many locals approve of the store.
"We have worked closely with local residents and community groups on the look and feel of our store. We are very pleased that following this work, our applications have been approved by the local council. We have spoken to many people who are looking forward to using the new store and look forward to serving the local community."

Nebraska by Heart is a multidisciplinary instructional unit designed to explore traditional arts and folklife as they exist in Nebraska, and to help students understand these ideas:
Folklife and traditional arts in some form are common to all persons, no matter when or where they live.
These cultural traditions are important in our lives, because they profoundly affect how we view our world and how we interact with others.
The unit is named Nebraska by Heart because most of the learning of folk traditions is based on observation, memory, and imitation. It doesn't come from books or other formal learning situations. Also folk traditions are mostly passed on to us by our friends, relatives and other loved ones. They are thus both learned and perpetuated "by heart."

In the unit, students will respond to both historic and contemporary examples of folk arts and folklife from many different Nebraska cultures and subcultures. They will examine and react to examples of folk arts and folklife from their own backgrounds and from the experiences of others in their communities. They also will learn how to create or participate in examples of folk arts from various Nebraska cultural groups.
The unit focuses specifically on traditional arts and folklife from cultural groups present in Nebraska today. However, when useful for illustrating a particular artistic tradition or its history, some information and examples may be drawn from communities representing the same cultures located elsewhere in the United States or the world.
Two of the greatest strengths of this unit are its experiential nature and the way it encourages students to think for themselves in investigating traditional arts, folklife and culture. Another strength is the inherent interdisciplinary nature of folklife and folk arts themselves. Folklore and folklife are grounded in both the arts and humanities. In addition, concepts from science, math and social studies are useful in studying the different genres of these traditional practices and the social contexts in which they occur.

Nebraska By Heart contains three lessons, plus a concluding integration and assessment component. Each lesson includes several activities and has suggestions for extensions. The assessment component is designed to integrate and evaluate the unit. Each activity has estimated time requirements, but the total number of class periods required to complete the unit will depend upon class scheduling, the number of folklife genres chosen for study, and the judgment of the teacher.
"That's the way life is in America's rural landscape. Here you'll find
that it is precisely the man or woman with the sharpest wit who is
the best source for serious advice. It is the best storyteller who
offers the most profound philosophical statements over morning coffee.
Often it is the funniest that is also the most inspirational, the silliest
experience that carries the most powerful lesson, the most trivial that
strips away pretense and bares the starkest framework of wisdom. I
came here to the heart of America's rural landscape for an education
and I found it."
