Q: His outfit is definitely the easiest to put together. It should have big lapels and go down to the top of the hips. Black jeans or work trousers will do the job just nicely. You'll need a burgundy, navy blue, dark purple, black, or forest green long sleeve v-neck t-shirt, with a reasonably small v (in the show, he actually wore a jumper, but a t-shirt works equally as well). Then all you need is a quirky personality and you're done. " - Ninth Doctor (Multiple episodes, 2005)
A: Emulate Christopher Eccleston, if you want a pretty easy costume to copy. Get a long, black, double breasted leather jacket. Add a pair of black pants. Get a shirt. Add the sonic screwdriver and a pair of tough looking work boots - doc martens could do the job, just make sure you don't get the 'smooth' pair. "Fantastic!

Problem: Article: Carefully turn the boat right side up and place it in a cradle or in slings. This is a good time to build a set of saw horses to set and cradle the canoe in so it won't move while you work on the inside. Gunnels are the top rails of the canoe, which are placed on the inside and outside edges on both sides of the canoe.  Gunnels give a completed look to the canoe, while also serving to protect the sides of the canoe as rub rails. Each gunnel should be about 1-1-1/4"x3/8-1/2" square, with the top outside and inside edges rounded over. Use epoxy and brass or bronze screws to attach the gunnels at the front 24-30" of the gunnels. You can use the epoxy and spring clamps to attach the gunnels to the canoe until the epoxy dries. At the stem ends on top of the canoe you can fit small decks, on top of the rails or between them, if you take the time and effort to make a good fit. Flush decks look the best. Keep in mind that you will have to do one or the other, as epoxy alone will not last when exposed to the sun. When you've finished painting or varnishing the outside, it's time to turn the canoe over and do the inside, clear coat or paint. Sand the inside of the boat, removing any drips or runs. Try to not sand through the top plywood layer.  When all the sanding is done, it's time to coat the inside of the boat with. For best results, do this in two or three thin layers of epoxy, waiting 24 hours between coats. When this is all done you can sand the last coat lightly with a 120 grit sandpaper and then a 220 grit to get a really smooth finish. Wipe away any dust, then paint or varnish the inside. You can add seats before or after you epoxy coat the inside of the boat.  All seats should be about 1-1-1/2" from the bottom of the canoe, not hanging from the gunnels. On a light canoe (such as this one) with a low freeboard, it's best to keep the center of gravity as low in the boat as possible. Let the whole thing set for about a week -- this gives the layers of epoxy and finish time to dry completely.
Summary: Turn the boat over. Attach the gunnels. Apply a second coat of clear varnish or paint. Sand, epoxy and paint the inside of the boat. Add seats. Give the boat time to dry.

Article: Whether you're meeting someone for business or pleasure, there's no quicker way to ruin someone's impression of you than to be late. Instead, you should try to get wherever you need to be a few minutes early. Not only will this prove to the other person that you're a go-getter, you'll also alleviate stress on yourself. This will ensure you're as clear-headed as can be for the interactions ahead. Using positive, confident body language can demonstrate to everyone around you that you have confidence in yourself and your abilities without ever needing to open your mouth. Demonstrating assertive body language has a bonus effect of actually making you feel more confident as a result, even if you're only faking it at first. Try practicing in the mirror if it doesn't already come naturally to you. It may be tricky at first, but it does come with time.  Eye contact is a powerful technique in body language, and for good reason. Making eye contact shows confidence.  A firm handshake is crucial, particularly in business settings.  As always, solid posture will show everyone that you respect yourself. Considering you're the one who's wanting to make the big impression, it may seem counter-intuitive to quiet down and let the other person take the reins for a while. All the same, people tend to be more impressed by someone who demonstrates a sincere, vivid interest in themselves and what they do. Demonstrate effective listening skills: reiterate what the other person is saying to you, ask questions, and don't interrupt until there's a natural break in the conversation. The art of oration isn't one that can be learned overnight. All the same, knowing how to speak well and confidently can sometimes leave an impression all on its own. No matter whether you're on a date or at a board meeting, speak in such a way where none of your words are rushed. Speak with slightly greater volume than you'd normally be comfortable with. Breaking out of your comfort zone in ways like this will set you apart from the crowd no matter where you are. Don't forget to use the person's name whenever it feels natural. People love hearing someone say their name, and the same can be advised if you're trying to make them remember you.
