THE RAM-FALCON TROPHY: Air Force defeated Colorado State, 42-21, Sept. 29 to win its 20th Ram-Falcon Trophy. This season marks the 33rd year of the trophy competition with Air Force holding a 20-13 lead. The trophy's origin is tracked back to Shelly Godkin, a former ROTC commander at Colorado State. He watched the teams play in 1978 and sought to translate his impressions into a trophy symbolic of an annual game. The first Ram-Falcon trophy game was in 1980.
THE KUTER TROPHY: Air Force defeated Hawai'i, 21-7, earlier this year to win the General Laurence S. Kuter Trophy, named after the first PACAF commander which is a tribute to the friendship between Hawai'i and Air Force and to the cooperation between the people of Hawai'i and their Air Force. The trophy was conceived by the University of Hawai'i, sponsored by the Pacific Air Command, and the Air Force Academy helped design it. The Kuter trophy is presented to the winner of the annual football game between the two schools. The teams have been competing for the trophy since 1982. Air Force has 11 trophy titles while Hawai'i has five. There has been one tie (1989).
AIR FORCE PLAYING 10 STRAIGHT WEEKS: Air Force played 10 consecutive weeks this season, starting with the UNLV game on Sept. 22 and ending with Fresno State Nov. 24. The Falcons are one of 16 teams nationally to play 10 or more straight weeks this season.

SPEARS NOTCHES 20 VS. NEW MEXICO: Sophomore DB Christian Spears recorded a career-best 20 tackles vs. New Mexico. His 20 stops are the most by a Falcon this season and most since Brady Amack had 23 vs. Navy last season. The 20 stops are the third most in the Mountain West this season. His previous best for tackles was 12 earlier this season vs. Navy. Spears has three games with double figures in tackles this season and is third on the team in tackles with 86. He is averaging 7.2 tackles per game which ranks third in the conference among defensive backs.

HANSEN HAS RECORD DAY VS. HAWAI'I: Freshman Alex Hansen had the best day of his young career in last week's 21-7 win over Hawai'i. In fact, Hansen had one of the best days ever by a Falcon defensive player. He recorded five total tackles, including four unassisted, which is the second most of his career. He also recorded a career-high two quarterback sacks for 13 yards which is the most by a Falcon this season. Hansen also recorded a career-high four tackles for loss for 18 yards which is the most by a Falcon this season and most in the Troy Calhoun-era. His four tackles for loss ties as the seventh-most in school history, just two behind the school record of six, and are the most since Monty Coleman had four vs. North Texas in 2003. The four tackles for loss is also the most by a freshman in school history.

Does the job wellWednesday, January 02, 2013
I don't have a ceiling light in my living room, so I use this to control floor lamps. I like that it has multiple plugs, so that I can control all of the lamps with one remote (one lamp usually turns on before the other, but that doesn't really matter to me).

Metasploit already somes with postgresql running, check your processes and you will see it's up and running, also follow the official wiki guide for mysql.
db_driver shows no active or available drivers. None of the steps I have used to install Postgres or MySQL have worked.
When I run:
It runs successfully, but I still don't have mysql as an available driver andCode:gem install mysqlfails: "Invalid driver specified".Code:db_driver mysql
When I run:
It fails with a ruby error "/usr/bin/ruby1.9.2 extconf.rb \ extconf.rb:4:in `<main>': uninitialized constant Object::PLATFORM (NameError)"Code:gem install postgres
Why doesn't Metasploit come with MySQL and Postgres already configured? What confuses me is that some people are reporting that Postgres works fine in metasploit out of the box. Why would the configurations be different from one VM to another? Some posters are saying that certain metasploit builds work better than others. Others say that it's the ruby version that's at fault (but if you change it, other things break).
This seems to be in either 'BUG' territory, or there needs to be a much MUCH better guide on setting up databases in metasploit.
My situation is identical to the OP:
metasploit db_driver issues (or have i totally lost it?) - I have not tried his workaround script yet.
Fresh BT5 32bit Gnome VM
Metasploit 3.7.0 and 3.8.0 r13224 (tried before upgrading and after)
Steps tried:
BT5 + Metasploit + PostgreSQL
Metasploit db_autopwn using PostgreSQL
-- These both fail to make Postgres an available driver. i.e. db_driver postgres fails with "Invalid driver specified".
I have deleted the VM and started fresh twice.
Metasploit already somes with postgresql running, check your processes and you will see it's up and running, also follow the official wiki guide for mysql.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I get that it is supposed to be enabled by default, but why does db_hosts and db_driver show no hosts and no drivers? Port 7175 (the default Postgres port for metasploit) is showing as listening, but why does metasploit not see it?
I have uninstalled metasploit, rebooted, and reinstalled from Rapid7 binary installer a couple times, but the behavior remains. I even tried different ports, to no avail.
I am dead in the water until I figure this out.
Is it noteworthy that the Web Security Dojo 1.2 VM has exactly the same problem? Could the VM manager cause this kind of problem? (If so, why the ruby error on 'gem install postgres').
Any ideas would be helpful.
I'm one of those who's mentioned metasploit & postgres working fine out of the box. I'm also using the BT5 32-bit gnome VM environment. When you start metasploit & run db_status, what's the output? I get "postgresql connected to msf3".
You might also have a look at /opt/framework3/config/database.yml for postgresql configuration stuff. Also, have you tried running /opt/framework3/postgresql/bin/psql –U msf3 –d msf3 to connect to the msf3 database used by metasploit?
If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
db_status:[*] No driver selected
root@bt:~# /opt/framework3/postgresql/bin/psql U msf3 d msf3
psql.bin: warning: extra command-line argument "d" ignored
psql.bin: warning: extra command-line argument "msf3" ignored
Password for user msf3:
but I do not know the password. Same for the postgres user when running:
root@bt:~# /opt/framework3/postgresql/bin/psql d msf3
What should these passwords be
msf > db_status[*] No driver selected
msf >
root@bt:/opt/framework3/config# cat database.yml
adapter: postgresql
database: msf3
username: msf3
password: *PASSWORD*
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 7175
pool: 75
timeout: 5
root@bt:/opt/framework3/config# /opt/framework3/postgresql/bin/psql U msf3 d msf3
psql.bin: warning: extra command-line argument "d" ignored
psql.bin: warning: extra command-line argument "msf3" ignored
Password for user msf3:
psql.bin: FATAL: database "U" does not exist
Another follow-up...have you tried starting msfconsole using sudo (i.e. "sudo msfconsole" from /pentest/exploits/framework3)? This has resolved problems for me in the past. Failing that, perhaps running msfupdate, and grabbing the latest version of the framework would help.
If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
Sorry, using sudo does not change behaviour.
Or you can try this... i got the solution on the internet..
when you start msfconsole by /pentest/exploits/framework3/msfconsole, it does not set the environment variables properly
So all you have to do is, start msfconsole using BT5 menu or by using /usr/local/bin/msfconsole
Reference by : THIS IS MY eye-Blog: No Active Driver when you type in db_driver or db_connect?
Thanks scott. After trying various approaches (including an update and new install of the framework), the sudo command solved it (postgresql database). I`m running the 64-bit BT5 in Vmware workstation 7.13. Hope this helps others.

Auto racing • History will show that Simon Pagenaud won the 2013 Grand Prix of Baltimore.
The lasting image of Sunday's race, however, will be Scott Dixon stuck in his car against the wall after another unfortunate run-in with rival Will Power.
Pagenaud charged to the lead after a series of collisions involving several other contenders on the bumpy, challenging street course that runs through the middle of the city.
Last week at Sonoma, Dixon held the lead until he received a drive-through penalty with 15 laps to go for hitting a tire in the left hand of Power's tire holder.
During a restart on the 53rd lap Sunday, Power swerved right in a crowd in front of Dixon while trying to pass Sebastien Bourdais. Power clipped the barrier, and Dixon ultimately lost control and smacked into the wall, ending his day.
Afterward, a distraught Power said, "I feel terrible. I'm just so sorry."
Power made it to the pit but was given a penalty for interference and finished 18th, one spot ahead of Dixon.
• Chase Elliott wrecked Ty Dillon on the last lap Sunday to win the NASCAR Truck Series race in Bowmanville, Ontario.
At 17 years, 9 months, 4 days, Elliott became the youngest winner in series history.
Rooney will miss England qualifiers
SOCCER • Manchester United manager David Moyes says Wayne Rooney has "no chance" of playing for England in its two upcoming World Cup qualifiers after cutting the middle of his forehead in training Saturday.

1 Corinthians 9:27
Don Costello
8/17/2008 / Bible Studies
1 Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1."But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection"
a. keep under [ 5299 * hupoiazo; hupo-under; ops-the area under the eye.] [Zodhiates: to strike under the eye, beat the face black and blue, give a black eye. In the NT generally means to subject the body with hardship.
b. Amplified Bible: "But like a boxer I buffet my bodyhandle it roughly, discipline it by hardships and subdue it"
c. subjection [1396 * doulagogeo; doulos-in bondage; ago-to bring] [Literally to bring into bondage]
d. The Greek word Paul used for "subjection" is a compound word, the first half, "doulos" of course means slave. Doulos is the same word Paul used in Romans 6:16.
1). Romans 6:16 "Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness?"
e. We as Christians have the covenantal responsibility to bring our flesh under subjection, i.e., through the power of the Holy Ghost, to make or force our bodies to be obedient to the word of God. This process of course involves our responsibilities of prayer and study of the word, without which, this process is just a futile attempt of physical discipline.
1). Romans 12:1 "I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
2). 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 4 "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;"
3). Others that could be written out are more than a few, but I will at least list some of them. Romans 6:13, Romans 6:16-18.
2. "lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
a. Amplified Bible: "for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfitnot stand the test and be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit."
b. castaway [96 * adokimos; a-without; dokimos-acceptable, approved.] [Zodhiates: Unapproved, unworthy, spurious, worthless.]
1). Paul clearly said that he would be rejected if he did not bring his flesh body under subjection. I believe that means he would not make it to heaven. I believe this is shown in not only his statement here but coupled with the examples from the Old Covenant he also gives in the next chapter.
c. This same word is translated "reprobate" in Romans 1:28, Titus 1:16, and 2 Timothy 3:8. It is translated "rejected" in Hebrews 6:8.
1). Romans 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"
2). Hebrews 6:8 "But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."
3). Titus 1:16 "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate."
4). 2 Timothy 3:8 "Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith."

Jump Risk, Time-Varying Risk Premia, and Technical Trading Profits
Chenyang Feng and Stephen D. Smith
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
Working Paper 97-17
November 1997
Download the full text of this paper (130 KB)
In this paper we investigate the recently documented trading profits based on technical trading rules in an asset pricing framework that incorporates jump risk and time-varying risk premia. Following Brock, Lakonishok, and LeBaron (1992), we apply popular technical trading rules to the daily S&P 500 index over a long period of time. Trading profits are examined using bootstrap simulation to address distributional anomalies. We estimate a variety of asset pricing models, including the random walk, autoregressive models, a combined jump diffusion model, and a combined model of jump-diffusion and autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity. Technical trading profits are shown to be statistically significant for the pure diffusion models and autoregressive models, yet become less significant when jump risk is incorporated into the model and virtually disappear for an asset pricing model that incorporates both jump risk and time-varying risk premia. The empirical evidence suggests that technical trading profits could be fair compensation for the risk of price discontinuity as well as time-varying risk premia of asset returns. Alternatively, technical trading profits provide a test of specification of asset pricing models; in this vein the evidence provides support for the incorporation of jump risk into asset pricing models.

Nine people are sitting beside the stage, safe and inwardly celebrating making this summer's American Idols Live tour.
And it's Stefano Langone that will be joining them.
Two questionable performances in a row have all but knocked former front-runner Casey Abrams out of this competition.
To try to save himself, he's going back to his audition song, I Don't Need No Doctor. But the judges won't hear it -- Randy waves him off, stopping him just a few lines into the song.
They're going to save him. And Casey looks like he's about to throw up. Or pass out. Or throw up and then pass out.
He rushes to the judges table saying, "Are you really? Why would you do this? I can't believe it."
Ryan asks him what's going through his mind.
"I thought that they wouldn't use the save, because there's 11 people," Casey says. "It's unreal. I started singing, and the fact that you cut it scared the stuff out of me."
"We just want you to get back to being the musician that you are," Jennifer tells him. "No more antics. ... You deserve to be here."
Two people will go home next week, Ryan says as the credit run. But it won't be a Top 10 tour.
It'll be a Top 11.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

I'm trying to find a good deal on a monster, but I'd really like to put a Nato/Zulu band on it.
I really like the light grey band, but don't know what'd look good with it - the black or orange monster.
Kind of silly to match the watch to a band...

Fairfax Selling $651 Million Stake in Trade Me, AFR Reports
Fairfax Media Ltd. (FXJ), Australia's second-largest newspaper company, is selling a stake in Trade Me Ltd. (TME) worth A$616 million ($651 million), the Australian Financial Review newspaper reported, without saying where it obtained the information.
The 202 million shares of Trade Me, the New Zealand online auction site, are being sold through UBS AG at about A$3.05 each, the newspaper said. Trade Me shares in Australia closed at A$3.22 on Dec. 14, the most recent closing price, and at NZ$4.05 ($3.43) in New Zealand that same day.
Brad Hatch, Sydney-based spokesman for Fairfax, declined to comment today in an e-mail when asked about the stake sale.
Fairfax has seen its share price fall 88 percent in the past five years as newspaper readers switched to the Internet and falling consumer spending eroded advertising sales.
The company's shares slumped 29 percent this year after it posted a record annual A$2.73 billion loss and said in June it will cut 1,900 workers, close printing sites and introduce Internet subscriptions as it seeks to halt sliding revenue.
Fairfax earlier this year sold 59.4 million shares in Trade Me at the equivalent of NZ$3.46 each, reducing its stake to 51 percent from 66 percent, Wellington-based Trade Me said in a statement June 18.
Gina Rinehart, Asia's richest woman, is Fairfax's biggest shareholder, owning a 15 percent stake, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. She failed in June to get a seat on the board for herself after disagreeing on conditions including signing Fairfax's Charter of Editorial Independence.

Tiny Toyota Yaris Gets Tiny Recall
Toyota announced today that it is voluntarily recalling 74 of its 2012 model year Yaris sub-compact hatchbacks.
The affected vehicles may experience a short circuit in their power steering control module because of insufficient distance between terminals in the unit, which would cause a loss of power steering and increased steering effort at low speeds. If this occurs, a warning light will appear on the dashboard to tell you that the steering feels heavier (in case you're unable to notice the difference on your own).
Owners with affected vehicles will receive notification in the mail, at which point they will be asked to bring the car in to a dealer to have the power steering control module replaced.

About Allstate
There is more to being an actuary at a life insurance company than just crunching numbers. The life insurance industry also puts your knowledge of finance and economics to solve real-world business problems. The long term nature of life insurance and annuity liabilities places an emphasis on financial concepts such as the time value of money, present values, and rates of return.
More than in other actuarial disciplines, life insurance company actuaries have exposure to and work extensively with asset and capital market issues. Offering successful retirement savings products is built upon the ability to create a sound investment platform. Life actuaries routinely use sophisticated concepts from financial economics, design derivative and hedging programs, work in asset/liability management and optimize the deployment of company capital. Thus, the role of actuaries in life insurance companies has moved well beyond their traditional roles in product design/development and financial reporting.
Life insurance companies offer products that provide long-term financial protection to individuals and families. Many major products serve as savings vehicles for retirement and other future needs. These products contain guaranteed rates of return as well as flexibility as to the timing of benefit payments. These product features expose insurance companies to significant capital market and mortality risks. Actuaries play a central role in modeling and managing these risks.

Military members nation-wide confront a multitude of problems during their careers, the last thing they need to worry about is their pet's care during their service commitments. Dogs On Deployment is a 501(c)(3) national non-profit which provides an online network for service members to search for volunteers who are willing to board their pets during their owner's service commitments. Dogs on Deployment promotes responsible, life-long pet ownership by military pet owners by advocating for military pet owner rights, providing educational resources and granting financial assistance for military pet owners during times of emergency. Join Dogs on Deployment's mission in changing the lives of our military members and their pets.
I am so grateful for DoD and this testimonial is way over due. Last summer my husband was involuntarily separated from the Navy. We had a very short window of time to pack up and begin driving across the country. We had a 3 year old, and I was expecting our second baby and to add to that stress, no where to go with our pets. Family had offered to let us stay with them until we were back on our feet but due to allergies, we were unable to bring the cats with us. We were 3 days from our destination when I got a message that would change everything. Someone from DoD was willing to board out cats. I am so thankful for Renee and her family. They went above and beyond to care for our pets as if they were her own. She was so understanding of our situation and worked with us every step of the way. My husband started his new job 6 months ago and we closed on our first home in March. I am looking forward to the day we are able to help some else the way Renee and her family helped us in our time of need.

Pungluang destroys Merlin in 1:32
By Damrong Simakajornboon
Former WBC youth bantam champion Pungluang Sor Singyu (25-1, 15 KOs) impressively grabbed the vacant WBO Asia-Pacific youth 118 lb title as he annihilated Filipino Jilo Merlin in the opening round on Saturday at Municipality of Kaomaikaew in Banbung, Chonburi, Thailand. The Thai fighter surprisingly attacked his opponent and rapidly destroyed the Filipino with a tough left hook following by a right shot, scoring a KO for a full-ten count at 1:32 of the opening round. Pungluang who lost his WBC youth belt to Stephane Jamoye in a controversial decision on May 9, is now targeting for the WBO title shot. With his impressive victory, his supporters expect that the Thai prospect will be ranked in the WBO top-15 very soon.

Airborne Laboratory for Atmospheric Research
We have developed the capability to routinely measure the fluxes of greenhouse gases using our light aircraft with particular focus on CO2 and H2O over forested environments using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and standard eddy covariance technique. Fossil fuel emissions of CO2 and CH4 from Indianapolis are also quantified using a combination of flask measurements, CRDS, and a mass balance approach. In flight calibrations for CO2 and CH4 are conducted using our computer-controlled calibration system and three reference cylinders from NOAA.
Real-time (50Hz) vertical wind data is measured using the BAT probe developed by Crawford et al., Bound. Lay. Meteor, 1992. The vertical wind data is complemented by aircraft altitude measurements using an inertial navigation system and Global Positioning System. A set of wind tunnel and in-flight experiments were used to calibrate and characterize the vertical wind system to minimize systematic errors caused by airflow measurements that depart from a commonly used theoretical potential flow model. The results of these vertical wind studies are published in Garman et al., J. Atmos. Ocean. Tech., 2006.
Highlights of our research conducted on ALAR are as follows:
- Quantification of fossil fuel emissions from Indianapolis, Mays et al., 2009, Env. Sci. Tech.
- Measurement of particle number concentration over the Great Lakes, Slade et al., 2010, GRL.
- Quantification of regional surface fluxes of CO2, Martins et al., 2009, Agr. Forest Meteorol.
- Study of aircraft lift-induced upwash to provide a correction to vertical winds for flux calculations, Garman et al. 2008, Bound. Lay. Meteorol.
Current projects involving ALAR include AirMOSS and INFLUX.

Time's Joe Klein: "Prominent Republicans" Have Complained to Murdoch, Ailes About Beck
Noting that conservative pundit Bill Kristol has called [1] out Glenn Beck for his Egypt "hysteria," Time's Joe Klein posted this [2] on the magazine's blog today [emphasis added]:
This is not unimportant. Kristol lies very close to the throbbing heart of the Fox News sensibility. And I've heard, from more than a couple of conservative sources, that prominent Republicans have approached Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes about the potential embarrassment that the paranoid-messianic rodeo clown may bring upon their brand. The speculation is that Beck is on thin ice. His ratings are dropping, too--which, in the end, is a good part of what this is all about. But I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a mirror-Olbermann situation soon.

San Diego Visual Arts Network creates homage to Calder by over 100 San Diego artistsJuly 16, 2009 – 1:07 am
Here's the beginning of the introduction to the "Little and Large" exhibition this summer in galleries throughout San Diego county by San Diego Visual Arts Network founder Patricia Frischer:
"The San Diego Visual Arts Network in a joint collaboration of 41 venues from Fallbrook to Coronado has challenged almost 100 local artists, both sculptors and jewelers, to work in both mediums in homage to Alexander Calder. When I heard the announcement about Calder Jewelry, the light bulb went on almost immediately as I thought about how this artist had created his stunning sculptures but also made over 1800 pieces of jewelry. Why not ask local sculptors to make a piece of jewelry? Then naturally, we must give that same chance to local jewelers by asking them to create a sculpture. I had no idea this seemingly simple concept would be so embraced by the art community."
You can read the rest of the article on Patricia's art blog.
The next round of Little and Large openings are this Saturday, July 18 at the following galleries:
In El Cajon
Alley Cat Art Walk
Olaf Wieghorst Museum
Silver Creek Fine Art
Sophie's Art Gallery
St. Clair Gallery
White Sage Gallery
Receptions are various times from 4-8 pm

"I saw Amanda Lepore for the first time in New York in late 2000. I was instantly fascinated by her unreal perfection. She was a living breathing pin-up, her gender ambiguous, however obvious that no one could be born in that body. I have used her body and its interventions to represent a complex set of issues - freedom, expression, possibility, mutation, and desire. Cultural rules and restrictions are discarded, normality and order seem to manifest within a hovering uneasiness."
Monika Tichacek lives and works in Sydney and is represented by Karen Woodbury Gallery (Melbourne). Her recent solo exhibition, The Shadowers (2005) was exhibited at Artspace (Sydney), CACSA (Adelaide), and the Institute of Modern Art (Brisbane).

The beard as a macho statement. Jewellery and make-up constructing the female. Two masks that work as a cliché sign of gender for society. What happens when male and female cross these borders? Using video and performance, we construct the trans –formation, -mutation, -figuration, from one gender to its opposite."
Tejal Shah lives and works in Bombay, India. She has exhibited widely in museums, galleries and film festivals including; Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Brooklyn Museum (New York) and National Gallery of Modern Art (Bombay). Visit Shah's website here.

Jake Wotherspoon's work questions the restraints that society has placed upon both the male and female in relation to bodily hair. Through affixing facial hair to portraits of female models, the artist creates a partial collapse between two genders. He morphs together masculine and feminine characteristics within one body, creating figures that do not conform to the assumptions made about the morphological characteristics of female or male bodies, but instead draw attention to our binary system of gender.
Jake Wotherspoon is a Melbourne based artist who completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) at VCA in 2009. He was the winner of the 2008 CCP Kodak Salon and has exhibited internationally and at Seventh Gallery, Tape Projects and CCP.
Drew Pettifer
Drip Painting
Paint over c-type photograph
variable dimensions
© 2010
Drew Pettifer's new series Fluid directly explores the concept of 'fluid gender'. It transgresses the expected gender boundaries of 'male' by shifting the fetishised gaze onto a male body, rather than the female one. Viscous, satin black gloss acrylic paint has been poured over photographs of the male nude, obscuring each subject's genitals until it pools across the bottom of the cabinet. These drips add an abject quality to the male nude, alluding to bodily fluids and leaking bodies. The deliberate obscuring of the genitals in these works also goes some way towards de-gendering the subject; the main signifier of gender in the naked body is concealed.
Drew Pettifer is a Melbourne based artist and curator. Recent solo exhbitions include You are the Light at The Counihan Gallery In Brunswick (2009), The Decisive Moment at Kings ARI (2009) and Cake boys: photographs in two series at Blindside ARI (2008). See more at: www.drewpettifer.com

Drag Acts
Video Still
© 2010
Drag Acts is a collaboration between three artists: Fran Barrett, Kate Blackmore and Anastasia Zaravinos. Drag Acts explores the spectacular and absurd qualities of drag. The work confuses theatrical spectacle with darker more meditative moments in order to investigate the mechanisms behind the act.
Fran Barrett, Kate Blackmore and Anastasia Zaravinos live and work in Sydney. Fran and Kate are both members of the performance collaboration Brown Council and are directors of Serial Space, Sydney. Anastasia has exhibited her video work at numerous Sydney and regional galleries and is a member of Ghetto Pussy.
Liam Benson
Coat of Arms
C-type photograph
90 x 120 cm
Liam Benson is a practicing performance artist. He applies this foundation to a variety of mediums, primarily video and photography, not only as a means to document and present performance work, but also to experiment with interdisciplinary techniques. His work explores the slippery slope of contemporary masculinity and has a parallel interest in broader social concerns such as cultural environment, popular culture, media andlanguage, and how they influence and inform the conventions of gender roles.
Liam Benson is a Sydney based artist and has exhibited at MOP Projects, Kings ARI, Linden Centre for Contemporary arts, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre, Liverpool Regional Museum, Blacktown Arts Centre as well as international touring shows Designfesta: Through a Strangers Eyes, Tokyo and Gang Festival 05-06, Indonesia (both 2005). Benson has also curated shows at Depot Gallery and is one half of the performance collaboration The Motel Sisters with Naomi Oliver.
Michelle Tran's uncomfortable photographic arrangements imply ambiguous notions of gender. For Re/Gendered, a stark portrait of a Vietnamese transgendered subject is placed alongside sexually suggestive imagery of domestic interiors. Although the photographs are rooted in documentary traditions, these juxtapositions unsettle the viewer's sense of self and work to destabilise prescribed gender identity.
Michelle Tran is currently completing her Master of Fine Art (Research) 2009 at the VCA. She has exhibited at Lindberg Contemporary Art, Sutton Gallery, Seventh Gallery and TCB. She has also won the Athenaeum Visual Art Prize in 2007. Michelle Tran is represented by Lindberg Contemporary Art.
Fresh from a world tour promoting the album 'don't text me like that' the boys take on their hometown of Melbourne. Fame has its price but for now these guys are about the fans and the love they bring. 4evamore; Seth, Tyson, Ricky and Randy, are a drag boy band partway through their mission to take the world by storm. With solo albums, world tours, a movie deal and a line of scents by Calvin Klein,' Boy Essence' these boys will take it to the top. With a hearts of gold and boyish charm their songs talk about life and the troubles of a boy in love, and the terminal sentence of a broken heart.
The Vivien Story, I'll make you famous baby. Hollywood stars and their stage mothers, why don't you sing for us darling. Sing for your tuppence SUGAR – Dance Darling Dance. The chameleon Vivien St James shines as the star of this series. We liked the idea of the driven star and the transsexual, yet it all began with our early obsession with beauty and glamour. We are interested in the notion of celebrity and how it originates within the domestic sphere. Like so many emerging artists, fashion designers, stars or drag queens who begin in front of the husqvarna, home is our beginning.
Gerard (photographer) and Marc (stylist) have been working in collaboration with Harry Rekas (retoucher for Large Magazine) for nearly ten years. They work predominantly in the commercial fashion industry, but also collaborate on independent photographic art projects.
Laura Castagnini is a Melbourne based curator currently writing a thesis about contemporary feminist art. She was the 2009 Curator-in-Residence at Platform, and Producer for Tape Projects 100 Proofs exhibition for the 2010 Next Wave Festival. In 2008, she co-initiated and managed an artist run space, O Projects, and was awarded a Quarterbred artist grant and residency in Sydney. She has worked for Adelaide Fringe Festival, and for Next Wave as assistant to curator Tai Snaith for her 2008 project House Proud. Laura is also a practising artist; she holds a Bachelor of Visual Art (Painting) from Monash University and has exhibited in Australia, Italy and Japan.

Re/Gendered brings together a number of high profile international and Australian artists in a group exhibition that celebrates the notion of fluid or 'unstable' gender. These artists all aim to transgress and blur the boundaries of gender performance. Often using drag as a technique to destabilise identity, these diverse artists disrupt and subvert the traditional binary system of gender. In turns joyful, disturbing, and deliberately ambiguous, these artworks expose the theatricality involved in our everyday performance of gender roles.
The Opening Night will include queer drag performances from guests including Mzzz Erin Tasmania, 4evamore, Adonis, Agent Cleave, Godzilla and Mummy Complex, plus more!
This is the final work developed by Laura Castagnini as part of her 2009 Curator In Residence with Platform. Laura will be going to the US in 2010 as part of an Australia Council funded residency with the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
Above: The centenary of the VR in Melbourne in September 1954.
Curated by Jenny Davies, author of the new book Beyond The Façade, this exhibition presents decade-by-decade views depicting the many facets of the Flinders Street Station's history through a combination of paintings, photographs, stencils and text. Presented in conjunction with artist John Bates, and industrial design student Tristan Tait, this show kicks off the celebrations in the lead up to the centenary of the station on 22 January.
This extensive historical display is divided across the twelve main cases, starting in the late 19th century when the architectural designs were mixed up with the plans for a station in India, right through to the current situation of successive government neglect and the demise of this wonderful public building.
Pre 1900s features the first award winning design by Fawcett & Ashworth. 1900s includes the construction period, Official Opening of the VRI (Victorian Railways Institute) and the opening of Flinders Street Station. 1910s examines the extensive public facilities of the Railways Institute (including a childcare centre and gym). 1920s looks at Chief Commissioner Clapp and his visionary initiatives. 1930s highlights the Children's Nursery the work of Sister Northcott. 1940s is all about dancing & Miss Gladstone during and after the war. 1950s covers the many special events and the building of our very own Degraves Street Subway! 1960s showcases the retail history with the much loved Hearns Hobbies and City Hatters. 1970s shows a shift to strikes, unionism and turmoil and the first demolition threats. 1980s witnesses the start of the demolition with the loss of the Concourse and the famous Mirka Mora Mural. 1990s shows further deterioration of the station and surrounds. 2000s onwards presents architectural highlights and the publication of Jenny's book Beyond the Façade. The Centenary Edition Book is only available by direct mail order at this stage. The current edition is available from various bookshops throughout Melbourne. Ask your local bookstore to order stocks!
Closes Saturday 23 January 2010

Tristan Tait currently works with painted wood mediums in order to construct stylised imagery and distinctive interpretations. His latest works are a contemporary study on the train network and the associated Flinders Street Station, considering the pathways and viewpoints from the everyday commuter. This subject matter is also of significance through a personal and reflective connection to the journey and to the metropolitan landscape. After moving to Melbourne a few years ago from country Victoria, the work epitomises vividly the influence of graffiti and stencil street art forms that are ever evident in Melbourne's unique and extensive number of laneways. Next year Tristan will be undertaking his final year studying industrial design at RMIT University.

Orifice (Slow Suck Part II)

© 2009
Orifice (Slow Suck Part II) and Nude Thump are two video drawings using my body. I am interested in exploring awkward and confronting bodily actions and displaying them within manipulated loops of video footage. The result is an absurd, repetitious canvas that fuses a feminist visuality with an experimental, masculine soundtrack. The work is manufactured within the broader context of video-art and feminist performance but remains, at its essence, a genuine interrogation of my own female body, its socio-political location, and its function as an expressive medium in itself. Moreover, I am choosing to deliberately position my body as both a vulnerable and increasingly complex, challenging entity - as the subject of the voyeuristic gaze.
Roberta Rich recently graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Fine Art - Painting. In 2008, Roberta completed a residency in Prato, Italy, as part of Monash University's Exchange program. In 2010 she plans to continue studying at Monash University to complete a Bachelor of Fine Art - Honours.

text: I have seen several of the p45 in used cases. This is relatively a new gun. I have heard some pretty negative impressions. I do not think it is a question of relaibility or longevity, or durability. I think it is just not a good platform for .45 yet. I have handled the p9. It feels like it is made for your hand. I have a friend who is a diehard 1911 man and he thought well of the p9's feel. The triggers are very reminiscent of the old double action revolvers, very smooth. If you are looking for a small .45 try the g36 or g30, from GLOCK. I have heard more favorable impressions from the g30 though.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa Say Their Son Will Know That He Likes To Smoke Marijuana
In an interview with E! News, Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose revealed that their son will know about weed and that Khalifa likes to smoke it.
When asked if he would change his lifestyle and use of the drug, he said: "Not as far as that goes. I think it's all about how you're raised with it. Before there was a much more negative outtake on it. You know, pot and what it can do, and the effects of it. Of course. I'm not going to be smoking right there over the baby, because smoke in general and being high is not good for a kid. None of that. But definitely he's going to know what it is—and he'll know the difference between being a child and not being able to use it and being an adult and knowing how to use it."
Rose, who is in her third trimester, added: "It's just like alcohol, basically. That's how I feel about it, you know. When you're a kid, you know that you're not supposed to drink alcohol, that it's for adults and that's it. Our son is just going to know that daddy likes to smoke."
Rose also revealed that that she will have a natural water birth at home. Her last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, according to Khalifa, who added: "Whatever she wants to do. I facilitate that."
Rose said: "I'm looking forward to the pain, actually. My family thinks I'm crazy, but I want to feel the pain and I want…the end result, just holding my baby and going through all that for him."
She added that while Khalifa's on tour, when he's home he's "100 percent" there for her. She said: "I said that I wanted to have the baby in the room with us until he's, like, 14, and his mom is like, 'No, he needs to have his own room.'"

Text of Commemorative Scroll with King George V Royal Coat of Arms:
He whom this scroll commemorates was numbered among those who, at the call of King and Country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who come after see to it that his name be not forgotten.

Little by little, the Lord is seeping into Howard Dean's presidential campaign.
In South Carolina the other day, an invocation preceded the speeches, and David Mack, a state legislator, closed the rally with "God bless you and keep you."
In Iowa a week ago, Dr Dean referred to the New Testament. On Friday in New Hampshire, he invoked a Muslim phrase, "inshallah", God willing, to make a point about Americans believing that they control their destiny.
"I'm still learning a lot about faith and the South and how important it is," said Dr Dean, the former governor of Vermont, as he flew to Storm Lake, 240 kilometres north-west of Des Moines, predicting he would refer to God more and more in the weeks ahead.
"It doesn't make me more religious or less religious than I was before, but it means that I'm willing to talk about it in different ways."
Dr Dean recently told an audience in Iowa that he prayed daily. On the aircraft he declined to detail his prayer ritual, but described how a trip to Israel in 2002 deepened his understanding of the connections between Judaism and Christianity. He named Job as his favourite New Testament book, then later corrected himself, noting that it is in the Old Testament.
"I'm a New Englander, so I'm not used to wearing religion on my sleeve and being as open about it," he said. "I'm gradually getting more comfortable with talking about religion in ways that I did not talk about it before."
The changes come amid concern from several corners about the secular tone of his campaign so far. In contrast to his Democratic opponents, who often discuss their faith in public, not to mention the born-again incumbent, George Bush, Dr Dean said in a recent interview: "I don't think that religion ought to be part of American policy."
A cover story in The New Republic last month, headlined "Howard Dean's religion problem", called him "one of the most secular candidates to run for president in modern history", and suggested this would "mark him as culturally alien to much of the country".
A rash of columns followed with similar warnings, and voters have begun to raise the issue.

Ramage and the Freebooters, by Dudley Pope
(This book was published as The Triton Brig in the US.) The first line of the book reads: "As Ramage's carriage rattled along Whitehall he was surprised to see the long and wide street was almost deserted." The reason the street was deserted, was the Spithead mutiny. Lord Ramage is called to the Admiralty and given command as well as an urgent mission, but as the brig he is given is part of the mutiny, his task is not an easy one and requires solving several quite unusual problems before he can have a chance to put out to sea. However, as we all know, this is Lord Ramage's forte!
If he manages to get away from Spithead, Ramage is to deliver three sealed dispatches to admirals off Brest and Cadiz, and in the Caribbean. If he fails, he will become a very convenient scapegoat.
This is how the third novel in the Ramage series begins. As with the two previous ones, it is an extraordinarily exciting story which captures all the romance, mystery and adventure of the Caribbean in Nelson's day, and is great installment in this series about the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Age.
Having arrived in the Caribbean, Ramage is instructed to stop the mysterious loss of ships sailing from Grenada to Barbados after two frigate captains had previously failed to do so. A new puzzle, and again he is set up as a scapegoat. He has no choice in the matter, but must gamble that he will be successful. And, as it turns out, logical analysis and a keen understanding of the economics of piracy soon leads Lord Ramage in the direction of the freebooters.
Dudley Pope delivers excellent adventure yarn with delightful, well thought out plots. He also has a cunning ability to convey how the best of the best handle emergency situations, and – as well - portrays these situations with realism and authenticity. Ramage and the Freebooters is very exciting. It is at least the equal of the first two books in this series. A great thrill to read!
