Today was a great day, with wrestling being voted back
into the Olympic programme for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. I am
thrilled and excited beyond words- the emotions run
This whole process for the last 7 months has been a trying
one for our great sport, and I am proud that the leadership had the
good sense and courage to make the necessary changes so that we
could be included back in the Olympics.
While wrestling truly has gone through a rebirth, with new
leadership, rule changes, and weight classifications, there is
still more to be done and I am confident that we will continue to
take the positive steps needed in order to be successful. For me,
success will not only be that a lucky few get to step out on the
competition mat at the Olympic Games. It will be the amount of
youth that will try out for wrestling after dreaming about Olympic
glory, and learn the valuable life skills that wrestling imparts on
its disciples in the process. Success will be the amount of people
that wrestling heroes continue to inspire with stories from leaders
like Daniel Igali who came as a refugee to Canada and became an
Olympic Champion. Success will be the coaches and teammates that
provide positive role models and good friendships. Wrestling does
these things and many more, and I am grateful for having it been in
my life.
I cannot imagine an Olympics without wrestling, and tonight I will
not have to. Thank you to all those that worked very hard to make
this possible. Good luck to all those high school wrestlers, you
can continue working just as hard for Tokyo, 2020!
This photo was taken tonight at one of my wrestling clinics. With yesterday's news to *recommend* dropping wrestling from the Olympics, I am going to fight so that Ethan Spacht, an 8 year old who just won his first state title, can have the same opportunities that wrestling gave me. I am going to fight for his and literally millions of other kids' around the world Olympic dreams, because when I was 8 I had big dreams too. Wrestling allowed me to achieve a lot of my goals, but more importantly it was a vehicle that provided me an education and made me a better person. Those practices, competitions, and relationships taught me the value of hard work, self-discipline, sacrifice, perseverance, positive attitude, overcoming self-doubt, mental toughness and other character-building traits that I rely on every day to be a better worker, husband, coach, and citizen. The Olympics is the pinnacle of our sport, and without the Olympics I fear that wrestling will wither and fade away as countries cut funding (the main source of sport funding around the world is governmental).
One cool story about Ethan winning this tournament was that he had to wrestle a tough opponent who he had lost to 3 weeks prior. His response when he found out who his opponent was? "YES!" Wrestling is personal, physically exhausting, and emotionally taxing, and even an 8 year old wrestler embraces those challenges. I hope he keeps that attitude his whole life because wrestling taught me the same thing. I am obviously biased towards wrestling, but I am amazed at the public outcry from people outside the sport who are equally shocked by the IOC's somewhat shady decision. For that reason, and with the knowledge that wrestlers around the world will mobilize to do what they must to save the sport, I am optimistic that this decision will not stand for long.
Yours in WRESTLING!

Matt Gentry
Friends, Family, Fans,
I wanted to send an update on my thoughts and feelings
following the 2012 Olympics. This is a little delayed coming and
very long, as it has taken me a little while to process everything,
combined with a busy schedule getting caught up with the rest of my
life. I definitely feel like I owe everyone something in return for
all the support I've received over the last few
Hi everyone,
I have arrived in London OK and am excited to be here. The
olympic Village is pretty fun, check out some photos I posted on
facebook at the Matt Gentry Wrestling fan page for a very small
taste of London. To be honest, all my focus for the last few months
has been on my competition, so the time of the Opening Ceremonies
was in some ways a nice mental break where I can enjoy the actual
Games experience. Saturday, when competition begins it will
be back to a laser focus.
I just wanted to do a quick update, I have been getting
bombarded with well wishes, and also quite a few questions.
These are by far the most common so I thought I would answer
them all in one place.
When do you leave? A little late to answer, but July
Will you walk in the Opening Ceremonies? Just did. Only about
50% of the athletes actually walked from Team Canada because it is
so exhausting. We had to be ready at 8 pm, and returned after
1 AM and we were on our feet with no chance to rest the entire
time. It obviously isn't bad compared to what many people do
on a daily basis, but when you are trying to peak for a competition
in the coming days, a lot of athletes choose to skip it. I
don't compete for another 2 weeks though so I took part.
What were your impressions of the Opening? It was AWESOME.
Now the athletes didn't march in until the very end, so we
missed all the performances (I heard they had cows and goats?). but
just getting to walk with the whole world watching is overwhelming.
We have 2 returning Olympic medalists on our team (on the girls'
team, Carol Huynh and Tonya Verbeek) and they were put in the front
row, so we stayed right with them and got a ton of airtime on CTV!
I have had tons of facebook messages from people who saw me on TV.
Do you stay in the Olympic Village? We only stayed in the
Olympic Village until the day after the Opening, so a total of 2
nights. Now we have moved out and it is a good thing we are
moving out, the Olympic Village is BUZZING with energy and
excitement, and it is sometimes hard to focus with so much going
on. We are focusing and doing our last bit of training out in
the English countryside (more on that in another post later).
Seriously, I can hear sheep bleating and it smells vaguely
like cow pies this second.
When do you compete? On Friday, August 10 at 1 pm London time (8
hours ahead of Pacific Coast). The prelims will go about 2-3
hours and I can expect 3-4 matches. The finals begin at 6 pm
London time. The best place to watch the matches will likely
be online at a streaming service. You can either look it up
on CTV which is responsible for Team Canada coverage or themat.com
might have some information on wrestling specifically.
Do you know who you wrestle? No, we do a random draw at the time
of the weigh-in and are filled into a bracket. There are 19
wrestlers from 19 different countries competing and it is
essentially a single elimination tournament.
Are you excited? Yes. Duh.
Are you nervous? The short answer is yes, but in a good way. If
I weren't I probably a) should be nervous about not being nervous
or 2) wouldn't be human. They say that there is something
unique about every Olympics. For me, the mentality in
preparation has been very different than Beijing, and it has been
all positive. I had a lot of anxiety and pressure (from
myself) in Beijing and it kind of detracted from my experience.
After that experience and maturity, I am so much mentally
stronger, and the anxiety has been replaced with excitement.
Any shout-outs? My wife for all the sacrifices she's made for me
to train full-time, my family for their unconditional support, my
teammates for making it fun, my coaches for making me better, and
the Canadian Olympic Committee for making us feel like rock
Thanks to everyone for making this a special time. I have
been more than adequately supported in my journey.
We get a monthly email from Marnie McBean, 3x Olympic Champion
Rower. It is usually pretty good and I thought I would share this
one with everyone....
July 1 2012. Happy Canada Day!
you will go to London for YOUR Olympics. They will be different
than anything you've ever done including World Championships, World
Cups and other Olympic Games. How they effect - and affect you - is
up to you. Everyone is different and being different is just fine.
Today I'd like to share with you some advice from the experiences
of two incredible competitors, Christine Nesbitt and Clara
year ago, I asked World and Olympic Champion Christine Nesbitt to
recount what it was like going to the Vancouver Olympics for her
speed skating competitions. I had heard that the atmosphere and
noise in the London Velodrome would be similar to that of the
speedskating oval in Richmond and I wanted to pass on any tips to
Tara Whitten, Zack Bell and our other track cyclists. Her message
got back to me a bit late for their test event - but I believe the
experience she recounted can surely resonate with you
stuck me in her message was how the energy from the Games - the
competition, crowds and the media - resonated with her differently
than her teammate, Clara Hughes. Even though both women would win
medals at those Games, Christine realized that the way she needed
to handle the Olympic energy had to be HER way - not Clara's or
anyone else's. Some are inspired by the Olympic energy and ride it
like a wave - some people need to separate it out and stay focused
on their own very specific (and very well trained!) task at
Christine and Clara's permission, I've copied parts of notes
they've both written to me. Clara's note is part of an incredible
message that she wrote to the Canadian 2010 Olympic Team after
racing her first of two events, having just carried the Canadian
flag at the Opening Ceremony.
(Note- Vancouver was Christine's 2nd Olympics,
she had won a medal in 2006. In Vancouver she was favoured to win a
medal in 2 or 3 of her 4 events)
From Christine…
remember feeling so overwhelmed by the crowd that I wanted to cry
before my first 500m race. (We race two of them. They
take a combined time.) When the gun went off, all I could think was
"use it", but if you're thinking it, you're not doing it...
had spoken to Clara Hughes before my races, and she is a different
kind of athlete from me. She had already raced the 3000m, and
she said that the roar of the crowd propelled her and gave her
extra energy and willpower...that kind of thing. She really knows
how to get that magical extra 'je ne sais quoi' they say the
Olympics brings. I found, this was not true for me.
second 500m was much better; I was more relaxed and enjoying it.
Also, I didn't feel the pressure (because the 500m is not one) of
my specialty distances.
the 1000m came, I thought I had gotten my nerves out, but when you
know it's 'your' distance, nerves will be there no matter what. I
wasn't really prepared for this. I had never gone into an Olympic
race being the number one, hands down favourite. It was not
fun at all.
was tight, and over thinking everything in the first 600m. I was
analyzing how my race was going, judging off of my pair (who
actually had a terrible race, but I thought it was good, so I
misjudged what I was doing--not the right place to focus). I
remember crossing the line for my 600m split time with one lap to
go, and I swear I heard the crow go silent. I knew I was way
off pace. At this point, I finally brought the race back into my
own hands, into my own mind, and under my own power. And this
is what gave me the ability that day, despite (what was to me) a
disastrous race, to win.
I gave you basically a summary of my race, and how it didn't go
well. But I think it all stemmed from the crowd, and
underestimating my own nerves under that intense sound, and
pressure, and energy. Since the Vancouver Olympics, I have
vowed to myself that no racing, not even the next Olympics, will be
so un-enjoyable and so stressful. I have been working on
finding something that makes me smile. When people say 'relax',
that's not helping me. I'm a very intense competitor, and I
love my focus and game face. But I'm learning, I can still crack a
smile 22 minutes before my race, or when I'm gliding around the ice
7 minutes before I race, or when my coach and I make eye contact
for that last time before going to the start line. A brief
smile or laugh helps me relax my shoulders, and lets me feel that
biting pressure of my blades into the ice. It allows me to
relax, to feel the things that I have worked so hard for, and
remind me of how confident I am in my ability and in the program I
follow. That energy from the crowd can really propel you - I
understand that now. But for me, I need to feel this mini
relaxation before and then that energy can pour into my race.
Nesbitt, 2010 Olympic Champion in the 1000m. Since she
found her
'smile' she is World Champion in the 1000m, 1500m and has a
silver in
the Team Pursuit.
From Clara…
I competed yesterday and it was incredible. I have never
raced within a tunnel of energy like that. I felt like my
heart was open and all of the cheers, screams, cowbells and drive
of the crowd went in and propelled me forward. Seriously!
What I really want to share, however, is the perspective I had
after the opening. Being chosen to carry the flag was a huge honor.
It was exciting. It was nice. It was beautiful.
But...... and this is a big 'but'....... the feeling I had
while leading the team was more a realization than anything.
I realized that even an honor this huge, this special, well,
in the end, it does NOT compare to racing. It does not
compare to competing. It does not compare to having the
chance to perform and to push myself and to have the opportunity to
challenge myself, to face the deep down fears that we all have as
athletes when it is game time.
Carrying the flag made me realize that I GET TO RACE AT THE
OLYMPICS and that this alone is something that will never, ever
compare to anything else in life. It made me hungry to
compete. It made me aware of the chance I had and have in
these Games to put myself out there and max myself out. It
made racing yesterday and the thought of racing again next week
seem like the greatest thing in the world. When these Games are
over, for me, as for at least a few of us, it is all
over. Nothing in life will ever feel this way again.
So what I am saying, I think, is do NOT LOSE THESE MOMENTS that
you have in front of you. Go into these events with a big,
open heart, and let the energy of this nation and all Canadians
inside. You will receive an inspiration unimaginable.
Don't get me wrong, I was not in the oval waving, smiling or
conversing with the crowd: I wanted to rip someone's head off I was
so hungry to race. But I let the whoops and the hollers feed
me. It was amazing.
You will have many honors and special events in your life, but
nothing will be like being an Olympic athlete and competing.
May you all have wings that allow you to soar,
Hughes, 2006 Olympic Champion, 6x Olympic medalist and only athlete
to have multiple medals at both summer and winter games. Clara will
be part of Canada's Road Cycling team in London 2012
who you need to be at the Games to get the most from yourself and
your team. There is no right or wrong way to be an Olympian - stay
true to who you have been to get this far - it's been working
Between now and the 2012 Olympic Games I will be sending out a
monthly email. Think of it as a talking point; you may agree with
me, maybe disagree… It may serve as a heads up or reminder to some
ups and downs that are a natural point of believing that you can
more than just go, more than just compete, but compete at your very
BEST at the Olympics. My goal will never be to add to your stress,
but to help you wear it well.

Three time Olympic Champion - Rowing
Hello friends and family,
I don't post much onto the blog these days, and I apologize
but I have been using Twitter (@gentrywrestling) and Facebook
(page: Matt Gentry Wrestling) to do a lot more frequent updates on
my training and competition life. At the same time, I've been
getting a lot of requests for blogs from a different generation
that doesn't use social media. I'll leave out any comments on
age/old fashioned. :-)
I am just returning home to my beautiful wife after being
gone the last 2 weeks. I will be home about 10 days in June
and only 4 nights total in all of July. I am lucky that I
have such a supportive partner who really believes and supports me
so much. I read an article recently from the New Yorker
magazine by Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Blink, Tipping Point,
and Outliers. It talked about young geniuses and old masters
and that in ancient times, people of the arts were sponsored by
'patrons' who supported them so they could pursue their life work.
For me, I consider wrestling an art form, and I am constantly
striving to perfect my craft but for me to continue pursuing my
goals has required some sacrifices, mostly being on the road for
weeks at a time. I am very willing to make these sacrficices,
but now I am asking Emily (my wife) to make them as well. I
am lucky to have the support I have from my family, in-laws, but
especially Emily. As I near the end of my athletic career, I
am more appreciative than ever for that support, and the success I
have is really their success as well. Thank you!
Much love,
Here is a list of my matches and a short interview from the
weekend which were uploaded on YouTube.
vs. Peru
Semifinal vs. Cuba This was the tough match where the winner goes
to the Olympics.
Finals vs. Puerto Rico
Post Match Interview
Hope you enjoy them!
Well, I didn't even know this blog was still running! My best
friend Mike McCullough is in charge of this as I am not very techy,
but it has been 3 years since I posted something here.
I mostly update friends and family of my performances and training
and thoughts through facebook and Twitter, although 140 character
bits really aren't as personal as a nice, thought-out blog. I guess
I will start posting here, as many of the 'older' generation don't
have a facebook account so I'm constantly being asked to put
something up.
This last weekend was pretty exciting, I won the Pan Am Olympic
Qualifying Event in Florida so I qualified for the Olympic Games in
London this summer! It was especially rewarding because I had to
beat the Cuban to qualify. I have lost to him twice in the past
year, so to avenge those losses at hte same time as qualifying felt
very good!
I returned from Florida yesterday, and now will be enjoying the
next couple weeks of rest and off-the-mat exercises to refresh
mentally and physically. I am very excited, the Olympics are 121
days away!!!!!

Doctor Who Monsters - The Cybermen (UK - DVD R2)
If anyone says "Delete, delete" to The Wilson Bros, they'll break their fingers...
The Cybermen were the creation of Kit Pedlar and Gerry Davis; they first appeared in William Hartnell's final story, The Tenth Planet, and were quickly brought back for a rematch with Patrick Troughton, who would battle them no less than four times during his three-year stint as The Doctor. The Cybermen were in an almost constant state of stylistic evolution, which helped to keep their look fresh, but they never achieved the same iconic status as the Daleks (whose look barely changed at all over the years). Though the public regards the Daleks are the top villains in Doctor Who, there are fans who like to think of the Cybermen as the thinking person's top adversaries…
TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN: Fresh from seeing the Daleks meet their "final end", The Doctor (Patrick Troughton), Jamie (Fraser Hines) and new TARDIS crewmember, Victoria (Deborah Watling) find themselves on the planet of Telos, where an where a team of archaeologists from Earth, led by Professor Parry (Aubrey Richards) are on an expedition to find the legendary tomb of the Cybermen, but the motivations of one or two members of the team will put not only the lives of the rest of the expedition in danger, but also those of the TARDIS crew and ultimately many worlds in many galaxies if the Cybermen are released from their cryogenic slumber...
Patrick Troughton's time during Doctor Who had fared particularly badly when it came to the junking of episodes, meaning that master-tapes had been wiped by the BBC and that none of the film prints sold to foreign territories had been returned. One would have assumed that because William Hartnell's time came before Troughton, the archive of his stories would have been more complete than those of his successor, but this was certainly not the case. Until the early nineties, Troughton's 1967 epic, Tomb of the Cybermen, was one of five stories from his tenure that were completely missing, as with all of the missing episodes, the audio still existed and had been circulating amongst Doctor Who fans for years, building up a mystique all it's own - it's safe to say that only Fury From the Deep surpassed Tomb of the Cybermen in terms of fan adulation based upon the surviving audio.
Sometimes, miraculous things can happen. In late 1991, Hong Kong-based television company, ATV, returned prints of all four episodes of Tomb of the Cybermen to the BBC - it was the last time a whole story was returned and will probably never happen again. Many Doctor Who fans who were too young to see the original broadcast (or weren't even born when it first went out) were finally able to watch this Patrick Troughton epic in all its glory...
Patrick Troughton is wonderful in this story, not only showing his commanding presence when trying to impress upon the group that trying to get into bed with the Cybermen is a really silly thing to do, but also showing a touching paternal side when comforting new companion, Victoria starts to dwell upon her recently-deceased father. He even gives some tantalising little hints about his own family and how he remembers them - it's a beautifully-written and performed scene, as The Doctor and Victoria bond over their shared loss. Oh, and the fact that Troughton wears a very fetching black cloak in this story and lending him a more commanding air than usual is also works in his favour.
Fraser Hines is as good as ever, displaying all of the chemistry he had with Troughton, and developing a close bond with Deborah Watling; Jamie McCrimmon can be looked upon as one of the definitive companions in Doctor Who, as he was Patrick Troughton's constant companion - apart from one story - during his time on Doctor Who in the sixties. Simply being around most of the time isn't enough for Hines to be looked upon as the definitive companion; Hines imbued the character of Jamie with many different qualities, including more than his fair share of bravery, not to mention being chivalrous to the female members of the TARDIS crew. Jamie also served as the butt of some jokes regarding his intelligence and social sophistication (or lack thereof), but it's simply that Jamie McCrimmon comes from a time long before the mid 20th century and such cultural and developmental shortcomings are to be expected. Having another companion from quite so far back in time before the 20th century was something of a gamble, coming so comparatively closely after the disaster that was Katerina, but it ultimately paid off.
This was only Deborah Watling's second story - and her first as a proper member of the TARDIS crew - but she fits in rather nicely and the chemistry that she shares with Troughton and Hines is immediately apparent. Padbury also gets to share what is one of the most touching and well-played scenes that Doctor Who produced in the late sixties, with The Doctor and Victoria speaking about their families and their personal losses; both actors are wonderful, with Troughton shedding a little more light on his enigmatic character and endearing him to an audience more than ever.
George Pastell was an actor who had made a career playing "funny foreigner" types in television shows, such as The Saint and The Avengers, not to mention appearing in the odd quickie by Butcher's Films - as "funny foreigner" types, as Butcher's loved to include Middle Eastern intrigue in many of their films. Here he is Kleig, cunning and ruthless member of the expedition who, along with the equally cold-blooded Kaftan (Shirley Cooklin), seeks to pervert the reasons of the expedition for their own ends. Pastell and Cooklin made for a great villainous duo, as they scheme and plot behind the backs of the more noble members of the group. Like many megalomaniacal villains in Doctor Who, their belief that trying to make a deal or control evil forces such as the Cybermen or the Daleks is doomed to failure and - much like the reign of an alpha-male in a group of primates - rarely ends without a bloodthirsty demise.
Worth noting here is that Tomb of the Cybermen features the first appearance of the Cyber Controller; literally standing head and shoulders above the other silver residents of the tombs on Telos, the Cyber Controller has a similar-yet-different design to the others and the visible organic matter in his glass cranium literally shows that he is the brains of the outfit. Actor Michael Kilgarriff would later return to the role in the Colin Baker story, Attack of the Cybermen, but sadly the intervening couple of decades took its toll on Kilgarriff's waistline and his appearance in that story led to fans taking inspiration from the writings of the Reverent V W Awdry and referring to him as The Fat Controller...
One of the problems that the Cyberman had around this period was that they were pretty hard to understand; the electronic gadget used to distort the voices of actors were such that words could be not fully sounded out and the result was something that was on the borderline of being unintelligible. Though what was heard in the earlier Cybermen stories in Troughton's era was fairly hard to make out, it was certainly a step up from the bizarre Zippy-like timbre of the Cybermen in William Hartnell's swansong, The Tenth Planet. The Cybermen were in a constant state of evolution during Troughton's time as The Doctor and Tomb showed them in a mid-way period of their development, starting to look somewhat sleeker, but still with many of the remnants of their first encounter with the Second Doctor during The Moonbase - if we were to pick our favourite incarnation of the Cybermen, we'd say that it had to be the ones seen during The Invasion, as they look so damn cool in that story.
There have been accusations of racist stereotyping in Tomb of the Cybermen - the Cybermen can't help being silver, they were born that way and we're sure that they wouldn't want to change that. Seriously, the character of Toberman (Roy Stewart) is essentially Kaftan's muscle, but eventually sees the evil in her employer and decides to do the right thing at a crucial moment. What is interesting is that the previous story, Evil of the Daleks, also featured an almost mute, dark-skinned heavy that is initially a threat but becomes an ally only to sacrifice himself near the end of the story; it's pretty strange that story editor Victor Pemberton didn't pick up on this and ensure that two such similar characters/story devices weren't used so close together. For what it's worth, we think that such characters aren't necessarily racist, as both Toberman in this story and Kemmel (the lovely Sonny Caldinez) from Evil of the Daleks were essentially positive and shows that that the capacity for good (and even the concept of self-sacrifice for the greater good) can exist in anyone. We just think if you want to put labels on such characters, we'd use "clichéd" and "stereotypical".
As mentioned earlier, the rediscovery of this story allowed many fans, who had previously only heard the audio of it - courtesy of the die-hard fans who were armed with tape recorders during the original broadcasts - and for many, the images that the atmospheric soundtrack created in their minds were far more potent that the ones that the BBC were able to muster back in 1967 and quite a number of these fans actually wish that the tapes of Tomb of the Cybermen had remained missing. We strongly disagree with this opinion, as the ambitious script is realised pretty damn well by the production designer. There a couple of questionable parts, such as the use of stop-motion animation to depict the tombs freezing and unfreezing, the all-too-obvious wires as Toberman picks someone up and one or two other things, but these are only minor criticisms - Doctor Who has rarely produced a flawless story in terms of production values, so Tomb of the Cybermen is no worse in that respect. Irrespective of some of the gaffes, there is bags of atmosphere as the Doctor and the others enter the eerie tombs, and our first experience of watching this story occurred many moons ago in the early hours of Sunday morning on UKGold and the suspense was palpable and certainly stayed with us, so when it was released originally released on DVD, it was a must-buy for us.
RISE OF THE CYBERMEN: The Doctor, Rose and Mickey encounter a serious problem with the time vortex and find themselves transported to an alternate version of London in a parallel universe (it's a pretty safe bet that it's not the same one Jon Pertwee saw destroyed all those years ago), where things are essentially the same, but with a few almost subliminal differences: zeppelins are still in production, seen as a fashionable status-symbol among the well-to-do, most of the public receive phone-calls, news and entertainment downloads via ear-pods, a device that plugs into the ol' Wilkinsons, and most disconcertingly of all for Rose, her father, Pete Tyler is not only still alive, but has become the successful businessman she always imagined he would be.
Unbeknownst to the visitors of this parallel Earth, sinister forces are causing ripples on the surface of a seemingly idyllic society - just why are homeless people disappearing from the streets; why is dying billionaire businessman John Lumic, determined to make everyone in Britain embrace the ear-pod technology that he distributes? Finally, what exactly are the covert activities which have brought life - of sorts - back to Battersea Power Station…
The answer to all three of the above is answered in one simple name - Lumic. - oh, by the way, did we mention that he is also a megalomaniacal madman? The tycoon in question plots to give the human race the ultimate upgrade that will allow human beings to live forever, but the process will paradoxically remove their humanity, turning them into an invincible army of drones. Will The Doctor be able to stop the plans of the crazed industrialist? Is there enough gold on the planet to thwart the armies of Cybermen being created at a rate of knots? Will Lumic call Rose "Dave"? You'll have to sit through it to find out, unfortunately…
The idea to bring back Shaun Dingwall as Pete Tyler was a great idea, as he had proven so likeable in the series one episode Father's Day. Dingwall is essentially the same person, but this Pete Tyler is successful, but the vulnerability and the character flaws from the Pete Tyler seen in Father's Day are still there.
Seizing the opportunity to play against type, Camille Coudri plays Jackie Tyler as a complete bitch, a vain, unpleasant character who is purely married to Pete Tyler for his money - in actuality, the pair have quietly separated. The Tylers are also a childless couple, meaning that neither of them know about the alternate Rose who has entered their universe - this provides emotional thread in the story, as Rose tries to connect with the alternate Pete Tyler, not bothering to heed the dire warnings from The Doctor on the subject. The chemistry between Piper is Dingwall is great, as the two of them continually size each other up, but the two of them are cautious for very different reasons - Rose because she is seeing a different version of the father she never knew, and Pete because he is suspicious as to why this strange woman is looking at him with reverent eyes.
There is no Rose in this alternate reality, nor does a counterpart to The Doctor exist, but there is an alternate Mickey in the form of Ricky, and this one is a tough, militant guy who, along with his band of anti-establishment activists, The Preachers, is determined to bring down John Lumic and Cybus Industries.
Roger Lloyd-Pack was an interesting piece of casting - initially fans groaned when they heard that Trigger was going to be in Doctor Who. He may be a little on the hammy side, but we were quite impressed with the menacing timbre in his voice whenever he says something particularly dramatic - it appears as though Lloyd-Pack was channelling Christopher Lee in his performance. Sadly though, at no point does Lumic say "I saw one of those old police boxes the other day…"
When it was announced that veteran Doctor Who director Graeme Harper was aboard for this two-parter, we were really pleased - Harper was responsible for directing two of the most consistently popular Doctor Who stories from the original run, Peter Davison's swansong The Caves of Androzani and one of Colin Baker's best story, Revelation of the Daleks. We thought that Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel couldn't miss - boy, were we wrong.
Our BIG gripe about this two-part story is that the Cybermen are not the Cybermen that the fans all remember fondly. When the initial New-Who Daleks were unveiled, fans breathed a sign of relief in that the modifications performed on them were minimal, and that they were still the same villains they knew and loved. This was probably due to the fact that the Daleks were so firmly ingrained in the public consciousness that they simply could not do anything TOO radical to them, or the public wouldn't buy into them. The Cybermen were another matter entirely…
It's a pretty safe bet that a focus group was put together and a discussion about the Cybermen was initiated - it's also fairly certain that the production team just took the basic concept of the Cybermen, along with what the general public vaguely knew about them (ie, they were silver and they had the protrusions from their heads) and just started redesigning them from scratch.
The original concept of the Cybermen way back when William Hartnell first encountered them back in 1966 was that the former residents of the planet Mondas were once completely organic, but they had decided to augment themselves with artificial body parts, until they were more machine than organic. The Cybermen here are all created from unwilling subjects who have most of their humanity stripped away - alternate universe or not, this has precious little to do with the Cybermen of the original show.
There is no getting around it - the new Cybermen are camp with a capital "C"; when the first picture of the new Cybermen design was released, we thought that it was a joke. Once the initial disbelief had dissipated, we looked at the thing again and we disliked it intensely - we consulted with other Doctor Who fans and most of them held pretty much the same opinion. The Cybermen that burst so dramatically onto the screen at the end of the first episode of Earthshock all those years ago were nearly perfect in their design - menacing, sleek and with something distinctly organic on display to show that they were flesh and blood at one stage of their existence.
The Cybermen here might as well have been a group of androids, as they are mindless automatons, completely incapable of working and thinking independently, and they march down streets in a manner that wouldn't look out of place in a dance routine by the Village People. Much emphasis is put on this silly marching - well, when you have adversaries that aren't particularly menacing from an aesthetic point-of-view, or even threatening through their personality, you have to try and think of SOMETHING in order to make them seem ominous; the Cybermen uniformly coming to a halt puts one in mind of a certain comedy sequence with Bernard Cribbins in Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD…
It was great to see Don Warrington putting in a guest appearance as The President of the United Kingdom (would this be a nod to Inferno, which also had the UK as a republic?) - Warrington exudes class and gravitas in pretty much everything he says and does (if you've ever heard him swear, he elevates profanity to an almost eloquent level) and him simply being in the story helps quite a lot.
There is many a plundering from popular culture, and one the sticks out the most is the sequence where Lumic is denied a crucial decision that will thwart his plans, and he arranges the death of said impediment as a result. Whilst in this case, Warrington is allowed to get off of the airship before being dispatched, in Roger Moore's final Bond outing A View to a Kill, the poor schmuck in question is neatly dropped out of the zeppelin. Thematically, the two scenes play out exactly the same.
This must indeed be a parallel Earth, as Battersea Power Station is actually seen working - the last recorded time the one in our universe was operating was back in the year of our Lord Dracula AD1972!
THE AGE OF STEEL: The invasion of the Cybermen continues as The Doctor, Rose and Mickey come face-to-face with the "reimagined" horde of chrome-plated crazies.
The Cybermen have stormed the Tyler mansion - The Doctor, Rose and Pete Tyler manage to evade being taken away for upgrading. They team up with Ricky's militant group and they try to put an end to the attack of the Cybermen.
It might seem as though we are putting the boot into this two-part story somewhat unfairly - ok, to a certain degree you might be right. The Cybermen are probably our favourite Doctor Who adversaries and we are pretty pissed off with the shitty redesigning they have received here. It would be remiss of us not to praise some of the aspects of the story - the visual effects are quite stunning; the zeppelins are beautifully rendered - they are a quantum leap over the barrage balloons seen in the first series' The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances - what's more, the zeppelins are mainly seen during the daytime, which as anyone who knows anything about CG work will tell you, is a bitch to do convincingly. Speaking of CG work, whenever the two Mickeys are onscreen together, you really feel as though there are two of them; this is down the great CG work in the story, but also to Noel Clarke's acting ability - we may have been a little rough on him in previous reviews, but here he excels and turns in not one, but two great performances.
Speaking of cast members - it is nice to see a more mature face in the show - The Age of Steel has Helen Griffin as "Mrs Moore", the senior member of Ricky's group. Griffin puts in a nicely understated performance of a middle-aged woman who just happens have fallen out of favour with the powers-that-be and fallen in with a group of radicals. There is a sense of wisdom and knowingness to her performance that raises it above those of most of the other cast members in this episode.
The most atmospheric sequence in The Age of Steel comes when The Doctor and "Mrs Moore" are making their way through the underground tunnels to get into Battersea Power Station.- they pass by dozens of inert Cybermen in the dimly-lit tunnels - almost a tomb of the Cybermen. It is a triumph of assured direction, eerie lighting, confident editing and a superb choice of choir-based music which really brings the scene to life, although the moment when The Doctor realises that the Cybermen aren't quite as dormant as he thought reads as a little on the choppy side.
The Age of Steel sees the departure of Mickey ("the idiot") - Noel Clarke was just beginning to gel as a character, and it was a great pity to see him go, just as he was really starting to flourish as a character. The manner in which he departs is fairly agreeable, as it allows the character to be heroic, yet also enables him to be a caring individual - you can't ask for a better exit from a popular TV show than that.
It has to be said that the most disappointing aspect of this two-part Cyberman story is that the Cybermen are in it; there are some nice character pieces, some beautiful CG work and some exciting action scenes. If it had just been a story about Lumic creating an army of drones, then that would have been cool - but the Cybermen are special to dyed-in-the-wool Doctor Who fans, and fucking over such beloved characters in this manner is really disappointing. The public wouldn't have put up with this kind of shit if they had planned to radically overhaul the Daleks in a similar fashion…
Though the Cybermen and Lumic are ultimately foiled, and The Doctor and Rose make it safely back into their own universe, the silver nemesis are not easily defeated, and sooner than either of them realise, they will face the revenge of the Cybermen…
It should be pointed out that the combined running time of this disc comes to just over three hours and that both stories have been squeezed on to one dual-layer disc. Looking at it, there do not seem to be any serious compression issues, but they were skating close to it by having both stories on a single disc.
TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN: This transfer seems to be the newers one, which has had the VidFIRE process applied to it and the results are wonderful; the original release looked great compared to the VHS copy, but one this really IS a quantum leap over the older transfers.
Even though there is not all that much that can be done with the sequences that were shot on film, apart from manually painting out debris and specks, etc, - there are only really a few minutes at the start of episode one anyway - the new transfer begins to shine when the action switches to the studio, as the VidFIRE process tries to faithfully recapture the look of the original broadcast and does so in a way that ranks alongside some of the most successful uses of the process seen in the Doctor Who DVD series (the sole remaining episode of Enemy of the World is - in our opinion, anyway - one of the best).
RISE OF THE CYBERMEN/THE AGE OF STEEL: The rich blue hues seen in the Cybermen episodes look equally as good. On the minus side is that some of the detail in the blue backgrounds during the Doctor's showdown with the Cyber-Controller are steeped in unnatural grain. Though this is some form of digital deficiency, it looks like it was formed before the DVD authoring process, an artefact of the limitations of standard definition cameras used, especially as there is smoke in the proceedings.
TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN: No problems to report here - as usual; it all sounds great and there is little in the way of serious hiss or distortion issues.
RISE OF THE CYBERMEN/THE AGE OF STEEL: The audio is presented in a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix and is pretty good, with some pleasing spot-effects out of the rear speakers and a nice amount of low frequencies are emitted when the Cybermen march along in their campy manner.
Sod all. They could have at least chucked in a documentary to highlight how the Cybermen have evolved over the years.
Tomb of the Cybermen may very well be our favourite Patrick Troughton story; it's tense, atmospheric, exciting and contains great performances from pretty much everyone involved. It was almost a miracle that all four episodes managed to come back from the void and that this classic story was given the treatment it so richly deserves
We're not great fans of Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel, mainly because of what had been done to the iconic Cybermen; there are some nice character moments and it's great to see Noel Clarke shine at last in the show, but the bungled approach to the bad guys leaves a sour taste in our mouths.

When the Who-Borg appeared with their 'iconic' cry of "Delete!", I was instantly put in mind of the Currah Speech Synthesizer for the ZX Spectrum. Hours of tedium masqueraded as hours of fun pushing the Delete key with that plugged into the interface.

What an odd set. Mixing classic and new series in one box set won't please many. Despite claims by the producers, the new series isn't a continuation, it's a reboot.
The Cybermen have been totally ruined, they never said delete, delete before grr. Why totally re-write their back story too?

The Phils increased their winning streak to four games as they produce a late inning rally to defeat the Dodgers, 3-2.
A late inning rally leads to the Phils fourth straight victory, and their second straight series win, as they defeat the Dodgers, 3-2.
The Phils took the lead in the first as, with a man on third, and with one man out, Chase Utley hits an RBI ground out, 3-unassisted, knocking in Jimmy Rollins, who had started the game off with a double, then moved up to third base on Shane Victorino's sacrifice bunt, 1-3, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. The Dodgers tied the game up at one-all in the second as, with runners on second and third, and with nobody out, James Loney hits an RBI single, knocking in Andre Ethier, who had started the inning off with a single, then stopped at third base on Adam Kennedy's double, while sending Kennedy, who had just doubled, up to third base. The Dodgers then took the lead one batter later as Luis Cruz hits an RBI single, scoring Kennedy, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead, while sending Loney up to second base. The Phils tried to tied the game up in the sixth as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Ryan Howard, who had earlier walk, then reached second base on pitcher Steven Fife's wild pitch, tried to score on Hunter Pence's single to center field, but is gun down at the plate by a strong throw by center fielder Matt Kemp, as catcher A.J. Ellis applies the tag, keeping it a 2-1 Dodgers' lead. The Phils would retake the lead in the eight as, with the bases loaded, via a walk to Utley, Howard being hit by a pitch, moving Utley up to second base, before he is pinch run for by John Mayberry, Jr. and Carlos Ruiz also being hit by a pitch, moving up both runners, and with two men out, Pence hits a two-run single, knocking in both Utley and Mayberry, with the later crossing the plate before Ruiz is thrown out trying to move up to third base by Kemp, as third baseman Kennedy applies the tag, for the inning's final out, as the Phils take a 3-2 lead. That would end up being the final score as Jonathan Papelbon collected his twenty-first save of the year as he threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Roy Halladay received a no-decision as he pitched five strong innings, giving up just two runs on five hits, while striking out six. Michael Schwimer and Jeremy Horst combined for a 1-2-3 inning. Kyle Kendrick (3-8, 4.71) got the win as he threw a scoreless inning and two-thirds, giving up two hits, while striking out a batter. Antonio Bastardo collected his seventeenth hold of the season as he pitched a third of an inning, striking out the only batter that he would face. Jonathan Papelbon collected his twenty-first save of the season as he pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out a batter. Stephen Fife, who was the Dodgers' last minute starter, also received a no-decision as he went six innings, giving up a run on four hits and three walks, while striking out a batter. Josh Lindblom collected his fourteenth hold of the season as he threw a scoreless inning, striking out a batter. Ronald Belisario collected his thirteenth hold of the season, before taking the lost (3-1, 2.18), as he went two-thirds of an inning, giving up two runs on a walk and two hit batters. Kensley Jansen was handed his fifth blown save of the year as he pitched an inning and a third, giving up a hit.
The Phils had five hits in the game, with Hunter Pence leading the team with two hits, both singles, as he knocked in two runs. Jimmy Rollins (Double), Juan Pierre (Single) and Placido Polanco (Single), had the other three Phils' hits. Chase Utley had the other Phil RBI on a ground out. The Phils also had four walks in the game, as well as two hit batters (Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz).
The Phils (41-51, 5th East) will conclude their series with the Dodgers (48-44, 2nd West) with an afternoon game, that is just starting, as they try to end a very successful road trip with a sweep of the Dodgers.

Remembering Titanic: St. Colman's Cathedral in Cobh, County Cork, the last port of call for the Titanic
Sunday 15 April 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Every day this week on my other blog 'Over Thy Dead Body', I will be remembering victims of the Titanic with photographs of some of their graves from Fairview cemetery in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Cobh (pronounced cove), County Cork, Ireland was the last port of call for the R.M.S. Titanic. The metal behemoth was far too large to enter the narrow harbour and so was anchored at the mouth of the harbour on 11 April 1912, before departing for America. For many the spire of the St. Colman's Cathedral of Cobh would be the last sight of civilization they would ever see.

Beautiful photos Jennifer. I must add that to my list of places to go when I visit Ireland someday.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Aillin,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are much appreciated. I hope you do go to Cobh. It's a lovely place even on a rainy day.
As always, beautiful pictures. When was that church constructed? I love the stonework and stained glass windows.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Claudia,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are always much appreciated. St. Colman's was constructed over a significant period of time, around 50 years. Construction began in 1867/68, and completely ended in 1919. Apparently the townsfolk had a lot to say about it. Various committees requested over 200 changes to be made to the plans along the way.
Same here, love that rose medallion window!ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Jenny,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are much appreciated. I love that window too, and would have liked to shoot more from the inside, but the sacristan was having none of it on the day I took these photos. Oh well next time.
I deleted my previous reply because I forgot to mention that the rose medallion window is one of three on the church. There is one on both sides of the Cathedral as well.
Beautiful! I wish you'd been allowed to take more inside photos too.ReplyDelete

For some time now it has been no secret that the Lowcountry has significantly lower wages than the rest of the state and the nation. The Beaufort Alliance for Human Services has acknowledged the issue.
While more than one factor plays into the equation, is it possible that there exists a local attitude, which plays a greater role than we ever imagined? Let's take a look.
Recently, I have been involved in more than one discussion concerning ethics. Remember that college elective? Ethics is the pursuit of determining what is morally right or wrong concerning our behavior. One might remember discussions concerning complex philosophical reasoning, and such issues as utilitarianism (check the dictionary), moral relativism and situation ethics. Don't take a nap yet, hang in there! Regardless, ethics can be boiled down to the determination of what is good or bad concerning our fellow man. The Bible has a lot to say about this one.
Now, back to our topic: The ethical treatment of employees. Lately there has been a wave of discussions concerning low wages and a lack of respect in the business arena. Note: Not all businesses fall into these discussions, however, if it hits too close to home, don't get mad.
I have heard of businesses using strong-arm tactics with their employees to force sales in a lacking economy. The use of negative influence instead of positive reinforcement seems to prevail. The "I'm the boss so do as I say" mentality seems to dominate. This is not a made up story. It is a common occurrence. I happen to be in a profession where people tell me why they are depressed, angered and frustrated at life. If I had a lot more space, I could tell more. It simply is not good.
Let's complicate the picture even more. Add a hint of some form of Christianity that exists where profit = God's blessing and it gets worse. With these influences, the good guy looks like a duck, can sound like a duck but in the ethical treatment of the employees, the duck left the building. Jesus said a man cannot serve two masters. One always prevails.
Jesus talks a lot about making wealth on the backs of other people. He instructs against using unjust scales. Paul later says a workman is worthy of his wages. He also tells the slave-owners (employers) to not threaten the workers and to not show favoritism. He only talks about a successful businessman in the category of how people are treated not in the amount of profit. There is no description that talks about having a Bible in sight, verses written across the letterhead or what type of music plays in the background. The discussion is always about the ethical treatment of the employees and the customers.
What does all that mean? It means that a successful businessman is based upon attributes such as honesty, fairness, and integrity. It means that he is best known for his heart toward the people he engages. He is to stand out from those who see only their lifestyle, not the people they affect. He takes care of his employees. He knows that his employees and his customers are his neighbors (see Good Samaritan story).
Common ethics follows the teachings of Jesus - love God - and to do so means you will treat your neighbor (employee and customer) as you would treat yourself. Why? So people can see our Lord, not the size of our house, make of our car or length of our boat. What goes on in the open is the same that goes on behind closed doors.
Maybe if we respect the image of God, basic human respect and wages can be addressed in the Lowcountry.

Kitchen Makeover: White Walls and Pine Cupboards Country Living
Here's an interesting makeover for you: a kitchen that traded in white cabinets for pine cupboards — an opposite direction than we would generally go. Do you think it works? Read on for more photos, and some inspiration, perhaps, for those of you living in kitchens with pine or oak cupboards.
We do love that the designer pulled down the wood paneling in the kitchen, and we especially like the octagonal tiles and the pale blue paint that replaced them. The designer also saved money by using IKEA cabinets, and by finding the industrial-style table and stools from some unusual sources.
What do you think of this makeover? We think the color choices, the Caesarstone countertops, and that gorgeous rack of canned vegetables on the wall are all worth imitating. But we're not so sure about those pine cupboards. What about you?

Bolivarianism Wins BigWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Politics: Democratic Campaigns
by Stephen Lendman
For millions in Venezuela, the region and beyond, Chavez is bigger than life. He's heroic.
He's important to sustain Bolivarian values. He's a legend in his own time. He's a role model for other leaders.
He's also struggling to recover from complex cancer surgery. It's his fourth in 18 months. More on that below.
Venezuelans support him overwhelmingly. On Sunday they showed it. Regional elections were held. Bolivarianism triumphed.
Chavez's United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) won 20 of 23 gubernatorial races. Reuters called it a Chavista "sweep." AP said Chavez allies "steamrolled the opposition."
At just under 54%, turnout was surprisingly low. In 2008, it was 65%. Mayoralties were also at stake then.
Perhaps this time a combination of voter fatigue, the approaching holidays, and other factors kept people home.
Voting went smoothly. On Sunday, National Bolivarian Armed Forces Operational Strategic Command head, Wilmer Omar Barrientos Fernandez, said:
"The process is going well, and we hope it will continue so during the whole day." Later reports confirmed a calm, smooth vote.
About 141,000 military personnel protected 12,748 polling stations and voters nationwide.
From Cuba, Chavez called on Venezuelans to vote. Minister of Science and Technology, Jorge Arreaza, delivered his message on national television, saying:
Chavez urged "particularly the patriot people, those who love the homeland, to take part and solidify spaces of government which guide us into the greatest sum of happiness possible."
He added that Chavez is doing well. He "sends his love to Venezuela and the people of Latin America."
On Saturday, he began "to communicate, instruct, govern, and give instructions to be carried out" back home. He's "closely following the elections."
"He has received the report on the situation in the country on such an important day. He has ratified the call for our country to vote."
He added that his recovery shows a "positive trend with every passing hour."
Sunday was far more than a Chavez sympathy vote. It was a referendum on Bolivarianism. Results showed PSUV candidate dominance. Opposition ones lost five previously held governorships.
Chavismo won in Zulia. It's Venezuela's most populous state. It's also its vital oil industry hub.
Opposition candidates also lost Tachira, Carabobo, Monagas and Nuerva Esparta. They held Miranda, Amazonas and Lara states.
In Miranda, former PSUV vice president Elias Jaua lost to opposition presidential candidate/current Miranda governor Henrique Capriles. Near final totals show he won 50 - 46%.
Venezuelans chose 23 governors and 237 legislators. As of Monday AM, legislative voting results weren't announced. They may replicate gubernatorial ones.
PSUV candidates won three more victories than in 2008. Near final results were as follows:
Amazonas: PSUV's Nicia Maldonado 37%; MUD's (Roundtable of Democratic Unity coalition) Liborio Guarulla 65%;
Anzoategui: PSUV's Aristobulo Isturiz 53.97%; MUD's Antonio Barreto Sira 41.06%;
Apure: PSUV's Ramón Carrizalez 59.83%; MUD's Luis Lippa 22.42%;
Aragua: PSUV's Tareck El Aissami 52.72%; MUD's Richard Mardo 42.71%;
Barinas: PSUV's Adan Chavez 54.69%; MUD's Julio Cesar Reyes 41.72%;
Bolivar: PSUV's Francisco Rangel Gomez 43.57%; MUD's Andres Velasquez 42.34%;
Carabobo: PSUV's Francisco Ameliach 53.49%; MUD's Henrique Salas Feo 42.7%;
Cojedes: PSUV's Erika Farías 59.27%; MUD's Alberto Galindez 35.31%;
Delta Amacuro: PSUV's Lizeta Hernandez 61.27%; MUD's Arevalo Salazar 20.99%;
Falcon: PSUV's Stella Lugo de Montilla 48.28%; MUD's Gregorio Graterol 35.28%;
Guarico: PSUV's Rodriguez Chacin 70.41%; MUD's Jose Manuel Gonzalez 25.55%;
Lara: PSUV's Luis Reyes Reyes 41.98%; MUD's Henri Falcon 54.35%;
Merida: PSUV's Alexis Ramírez 47.56%; MUD's Lester Rodriguez 37.96%;
Miranda: PSUV's Elías Jaua Milano 46.13%; MUD's Henrique Capriles Radonski 50.35%;
Monagas: PSUV's Yelitze Santaella 52.59%; MUD's Soraya Hernandez - Independent Jose Briceno 40.67%;
Nueva Esparta: PSUV's Carlos Mata Figueroa 52.44%; MUD's Morel Rodríguez 44.34%;
Portuguesa: PSUV's Wilmar Castro Soteldo 50.96%; MUD's Ivan Colmenares - PCV's Oswaldo Zerpa 22.59%;
Sucre: PSUV's Luis Acuna 56.77%; MUD's Hernan Nunez 35.26%;
Tachira: PSUV's Jose Vielma Mora 51.7%; MUD's Cesar Perez Vivas 44.48%;
Trujillo: PSUV's Rangel Silva 79.4%; MUD's Jose Hernandez 17.31%;
Vargas: PSUV's Jorge Luis García Carneiro 69.05%; MUD's Jose Manuel Olivares 24.13%;
Yaracuy: PSUV's Julio Leon Heredia 57.08%; MUD's Biagio Pilieri 36.05%;
Zulia: PSUV's Francisco Arias Cardenas 50.99%; MUD's Pablo Perez 46.74%.
Latin American Studies Professor Miguel Tinker Salas said:
Results "underscore the fact that Chavismo can survive at least at the regional level without Chavez."
"The reality is that the Chavistas today proved that their movement is institutionalized enough to sustain itself and to win statehouses in almost 90 percent of Venezuela."
What's true regionally reflects overwhelming national support.
Chavista campaign manager Jorge Rodriguez hailed the victory. "The map painted red," he said. It's PSUV's color.
"Chavismo, the force of the nation, won a crushing majority. This is a victory for all of Venezuela but particularly a victory for Chavez."
Voters overwhelmingly showed support for Chavez, his allies, and Bolivarian social justice. They won't tolerate going back to Venezuela's dark past.
Ahead of the vote, banners on lampposts read "Now more than ever with Chavez." Vice President Nicolas Maduro addressed Venezuelans, saying "Let's not fail Chavez."
"Today is a day where the entire nation will ratify its love for the country."
He explained that Chavez is communicating with his cabinet daily. He's kept informed "step by step of everything that is going on economically and politically."
Ahead of the vote, Venezuelan officials expressed outrage about Obama's Friday comments. As Chavez struggles to recover from complex surgery, he called his policies "authoritarian."
A Venezuelan Foreign Ministry statement said he further damaged relations between the countries. He showed "aggression and disrespect" at a very "delicate moment."
Venezuela "demands respect from (Obama) and officials from his government for the dignity of the Venezuelan people, its institutions and especially for" Chavez.
Obama outrageously said:
"The most important thing is to remember that the future of Venezuela should be in the hands of the Venezuelan people. We've seen from Chavez in the past authoritarian policies, suppression of dissent."
His comments reflect America's imperial arrogance. Venezuelan governance shames its northern neighbor. It champions democratic freedoms. Washington spurns them at home and abroad. It wages war on humanity.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas responded to Obama, saying:
Venezuelans "openly exercise freedoms and rights that US. society is far from reaching."
"With his despicable statements in this very delicate moment for Venezuela, the president of the United States takes the responsibility of pushing bilateral relations toward increased deterioration, showing evidence of the continuity of its policy of aggression and disrespect toward our country."
Media scoundrels unjustifiably attack Chavez. They do it viciously. They've done it throughout his tenure. Facts don't interfere with their misreporting.
It's standard practice to vilify independent leaders. Democrats are called tyrants or close to it.
America suppresses democratic values. In Venezuela they thrive. Venezuelans pray for Chavez to regain full health. He's too important to lose.
A Final Comment on His Heath
On December 14, the Havana Times published a Venezuelan government press release, saying:
"Consistent with the duty to inform the Venezuelan people and the peoples of the world about the evolution of the state of health of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, additional medical information from Havana is being presented in relation to the results of the surgery and the current condition of Commander Hugo Chavez."
"Currently the patient is progressively and favorably recovering his normal vital signs."
"This recovery process, however, requires a reasonable amount of time due both to the complexity of the procedure performed and complications that arose during surgery (these consisted of bleeding that required corrective action to allow its proper control)."
"In so far as the positive developments continue - which are beginning to become evident - the application of additional specific treatment is foreseen to assist in the full recuperation of the patient's health."
"With this information, the Bolivarian government hopes to convey the message of calm and hope to all people of good will, in different corners of the nation and around the world, who are directing their prayers and good wishes for the speedy and satisfactory improvement Commander Chavez."
"Viva Chavez!"

SSC finally healthy; making a strong run towards districts
STANDISH — Standish-Sterling's fortunes continued their upswing Tuesday as the Panthers avenged a 21-point loss to Gladwin with a 62-57 victory that they hope portend a successful district tournament run next week.
"We feel pretty good about the win," said SSC coach Tom Murray. "Gladwin is a very good team. We played well down the stretch."
SSC went to Cole Walderzak early to build their lead and Austin Collier late to hold on, and Kevin Reeves had three big 3-pointers to help keep the Panthers in front.
Walderzak scored 10 points in the first quarter, though Gladwin ended the frame up 12-10. SSC took a 34-22 halftime lead as the Panthers got 3-pointers from Collier, Reeves, Trevor Karbowski and Garrett Russell in the quarter.
Collier scored eight of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, including 4-of-6 at the free throw line even though as a team the Panthers were just 6-of-13 at the line down the stretch.
Collier led SSC (11-7) with 15 points; Walderzak added 14 and Reeves added 10.
"We'll likely play them again in a week (at the district tournament)," Murray said. "Hopefully this win will propel us into playing well in the tournament."
Chris Smalley scored 17 and Kegan Smith had 12 for the Flying G's.

Lockheed Martin's MAVEN spacecraft successfully shipped to Florida
Lockheed Martin Space Systems of Jefferson County successfully delivered The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft to NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Friday where it will undergo 3-1/2 months of prep work before it is launched toward the red planet in November.
Colorado has taken the lead on the project, which is NASA's first mission to Mars since the Mars Curiosity Rover made its nail-biting landing on its surface nearly a year ago.
The 1,784-pound spacecraft was shipped from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora in an environmentally-controlled container on a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane.
"It was great to see MAVEN leave Colorado and arrive at Florida," said MAVEN Principal Investigator Bruce Jakosky from the University of Colorado Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, in a news release. "As thrilling as it was to fly with MAVEN on the C-17, I'm more looking forward to the day when it arrives at its final destination and we can begin our science observations."
The project's estimated cost is $453 million with about $300 million expected to flow directly into the state. MAVEN will be launched on a Colorado rocket – Centennial-based United Launch Alliance's Atlas V 401.

Try deploying as an exploded app: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ExplodedDeployment
Then, the XML file will be created at server/xxx/deploy/yourapp.war/WEB-INF/xxx.xml and will survive a restart.
2. Re: JBoss 5.1 and tmp folderbauerpl Apr 5, 2012 8:01 PM (in response to Peter Johnson)
Yes i have like this but when i create file
File file = new File(getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/user.xml"));
file is create in
after few seconds JBoss remove this file (user.xml). I try with java.security.manager and server.policy but it does not work.
Best regards
3. Re: JBoss 5.1 and tmp folderPeter Johnson Apr 9, 2012 2:33 PM (in response to bauerpl)
I just now tried it on one of my web apps, deployed it as exploded, and included the File creating line you posted. The I printed out file.getAbsolutePath and got this:

Please describe exactly how you did the exploded deployment.

Using structures
If you use structures in your C/C++ code, you should minimize the consequences of a buffer overflow in any fixed-width buffer or array elements within a structure (though not referenced buffers or arrays). Structures can't be rearranged by the compiler, so buffer protection mechanisms such as stack canaries aren't sufficient to ensure that a buffer overflow isn't exploitable.
If you are using structures that contain fixed-width buffers or arrays designed to receive data that's controlled or influenced by a user, you should follow these recommendations:
- Group buffers and arrays at the end of the structure.
- Declare local structure variables after local buffers but before any other local variables.
- Declare global structure variables after any other global variables and before any global buffers and arrays.
- Pointers to structures do not need any special consideration.
- Where practical, minimize the number of local variables that are cast as structures with buffers and arrays as elements. This does not apply to elements in a structure that are pointers to arrays or buffers.
To illustrate these recommendations, consider the following code sample:
typedef struct objective { struct tm start; struct tm end; char owner[64]; // They will overflow away char objective[64]; // from the other elements } objective;
If you used this structure as a local variable, then you should order the local variables as follows, with the objective declared first.
bool objective_create() { char exampleBuffer[20]; objective newObjective; // success cannot be modified by an bool success; // overflow in newObjective success = get_user_string(USER_NAME, &newObjective.owner); if(!success) return; success = get_user_string(OBJECTIVE_NAME, &newObjective.objective); if(!success) return; success = get_user_date(START_DATE, &newObjective.start); if(!success) return; success = get_user_date(END_DATE, &newObjective.end); if(!success) return; // Even if the above get_user_string() and get_user_date() // functions are susceptible to buffer overflows, they // can only modify function metadata stored on the // stack (such as the Saved Return Address). This should // be mitigated by the use of stack canaries. return add_objective(&newObjective); }
Since the direction of memory layout is opposite for global variables (generally, stacks expand down, while global memory expands up), if you need to create a global objective, then the source should look as follows:
#include "user.h" #include "objective.h" // contains the objective related definitions uint32_t objectivesMet; // An overflow in g_CurrentObjective cannot bool objectiveRunning; // overwrite any of the other global user g_User; // variables objective g_CurrentObjective;
Structures in C/C++ and variable reordering
In C/C++, structures are aggregate types. The elements of a structure can't be reordered by the compiler. Similarly, arguments that are passed to a function can't be rearranged because this would change the type of the function.
The GCC and QNX QCC implement stack buffer protection systems to mitigate the security risk from stack-based buffer overflows. This approach involves using a variety of techniques, such as stack canaries, Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), using hardware features such as No eXecute (NX), and reordering the local variables within a function.
Variable reordering is used to isolate stack-based buffers as much as possible. If an overflow occurs, it will corrupt the stack canary (and maybe another stack buffer) before corrupting function arguments or other local variables on the stack. To do this, after a stack canary has been placed in the stack frame of a function, local stack space is allocated with all buffers located directly below the canary, followed by all other variables and copies of arguments that are output pointers.
Consider the following code sample:
bool check_domain(net_info info) { net_info tempInfo; bool status; char name[128]; char domain[128]; char answer[128]; ... status = res_querydomain(&name, &domain, C_IN, T_PTR, &answer, sizeof(answer)); ... return status; }
This code results in the stack frame shown in the diagram below.
Although variables that have structures as their type definitions can be reordered on the stack, the elements that make up the structure can't. You must take care when writing C/C++ that uses structures containing buffers. Ideally, buffers should be collected at the end of the structure. By doing so, they'll be stored higher in memory than the other elements of the structure and so can't corrupt the other elements.
typedef struct _user_info { uint32_t cookie; tm lastLogon; uint32_t failedLogons; char name[256]; char domain[256]; char password[256]; } user_info;This diagram illustrates how the above structure is arranged in memory.
Placing buffers at the end of a structure protects the structure itself, and placing the variable that's cast as that structure at the top of the list of declared local variables (after the local stack buffers, if any) protects the rest of the local variables. However, if multiple structures with buffers on the stack are used, then the elements of some of them may still be reliably corruptible if there is a buffer overflow.
In the following code sample, any of the elements of user (such as user.cookie or user.password) can be overwritten by a buffer overflow in the character buffers in temp (temp.name, temp.domain, temp.password). This situation can occur without corrupting a stack canary.
bool AreUserDetailsCached() { user_info user; user_info temp; bool found = false; memset(temp, 0, sizeof(temp)); while (NextUserInCache(&temp)) { ... } ... return found; }
Although this is just an example, if there were invalid credentials in the cache that caused a buffer overflow, this could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack by modifying the credentials of another user who is attempting to log in. This condition would be resolved only when the cache was cleared.

ABC Kids Expo, Las Vegas, September 7, 2008 — A new drop-cup nursing camisole — one that offers comfortable, stylish support for moms who want to nurse or pump discreetly on the go — is now available from Medela.
The new Medela Nursing Camisole is made of a bamboo/cotton blend fabric, which provides enhanced breathability to keep mom comfortable. Bamboo fabrics have natural anti-bacterial properties as well as the ability to quickly absorb moisture. Additionally, many moms will appreciate bamboo's eco-friendly qualities — recognized as one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo is extremely renewable and doesn't require pesticides. It also helps replenish fresh air, producing more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.
Not only is the Medela Nursing Camisole an ideal choice for active moms who nurse or use a traditional breastpump, but it also allows moms to pump hands-free with the new Medela Freestyle™. The camisole's bra shelf can separate from the front outer layer of the garment, allowing moms to easily attach the Freestyle's hands-free kit. To learn more about pumping hands-free with the Freestyle visit www.medelafreestyle.com.
"A mom who is just learning to breastfeed worries frequently about how she can breastfeed or pump easily and discreetly," said Anne Ng'ang'a product manager of intimate apparel from Medela. "Nursing camisoles are a great option for these moms. They make nearly any outfit breastfeeding-friendly and make it easy to express breastmilk without exposing the tummy."
Keeping modesty and support in mind, Medela designed its Nursing Camisole with an extra layer of fabric between the bra shelf and the outside layer. The Nursing Camisole features a scoop neck, comes in black and white and is offered in sizes ranging from small to extra large. It will be available in stores by the end of October at a suggested retail price of $44.99.
