Ed Note: Okay, so perhaps I got a little carried away with the title. Chrissie has graciously volunteered her services as a special contributor on board the 5th Annual 80's Cruise. Today brings her first installment. Enjoy! -R
By Chrissie Peters
Dig, If You Will, A Picture…
For the next seven days, I have the unique opportunity to have a vacation on a cruise ship in the Caribbean Sea, as well as seeing more than a dozen 80's musical artists and acts. My husband Russ and I are sailing aboard Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas with approximately 3,000 other avid 80's fans on the 5th Annual 80's Cruise, hosted by three of the original MTV VJ's (Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman, and Nina Blackwood).
This trip was not my idea, although I am the big 80's fan in our household. The week after last year's cruise ended, with just a few artists announced for the 2020 cruise, my husband proposed that we go ahead and do it, as I had really wanted to go a couple of previous year. Admittedly, I was most excited about the prospect of seeing Bananarama. Less than two weeks after we made our down-payment, guess who canceled their contract with the company for the 2020 cruise? That's right — Bananarama, for reasons that were never disclosed to us. We, of course, had the option to cancel, but decided that we would wait to see who would be selected to replace the group. By then, we were also excited about some of the other acts, too, especially The B-52's, The Motels, and Patty Smythe & Scandal. Then we found out that two acts would replace Bananarama — Bret Michaels and Loverboy. So we happily continued to make our monthly payments on what has easily been the most expensive cruise (or vacation at all, for that matter), that we have ever taken. Of course, we have never had a vacation cruising the tropics while it's snowing back home, complete with more than a dozen concerts, interviews, celebrity-led excursions, etc., either. In the end, I feel like the value far outweighs what we have paid (and I am saying that after being aboard the ship for less than twelve hours)!
If I Could Turn Back Time…
Everything here is retro. The hairstyles. The clothes. Men and women, alike. My favorite bar, Music Video Tavern (MVT), features video screens playing real videos, just like the old days. There are tables with board games like Trivial Pursuit, Life, and more. There's a life-sized Operation game. And several arcade games that you can just walk up to and start playing, no quarters required. (Nick Rhodes of yesteryear would be in heaven, as Galaga is among them — think the Sing Blue Silver documentary). The drinks have throwback names, and I have become quite fond of Welcome to the Jungle at MVT (drinks are included with the price of the trip, so I figure I might as well take advantage of what we paid for).
There are different themes nightly. Tonight, we partied like it was 1979, and ushered in 1980 with no fewer than four separate New Year's Eve parties. Well, that's a general "we," since I stayed in the stateroom to start this post, and to indulge in watching more videos. (Honestly, I could just sit and do this for hours. I mean, didn't all of us used to???) and I'm glad that I did. "Hungry Like the Wolf" came on back-to-back with "Take On Me," by Aha; I was in 1980's heaven!
There Are No Mistakes…
In the past few weeks, the landscape of health and travel have taken on new concerns with the rise and spread of the coronavirus. Many of our friends and family members have tried to talk out of coming on the cruise completely. My husband is a Registered Nurse, so he has kept on top of the situation for work purposes, as well as for our vacation. While we realize that there is some risk involved, we both agreed that we felt that there was a greater risk of catching something during our flight than on the actual cruise.
To keep in order with CDC guidelines, one of the acts for the cruise, Dire Straits Legacy Band, were restricted from the trip due to the fact that they had been in Rome within the past few weeks. Just two days later, and three days before leaving port, it was announced that Loverboy had also pulled out, no reasons given to us. Remember when Bananarama canceled, right? And Loverboy was named as one of two replacement acts? The next day, it was announced that we would have two more acts to replace the two acts that had had to cancel in the final week leading up to the trip. Kool & The Gang, and Taylor Dayne.
When we made that deposit a year ago, we never imagined something like the coronavirus. I never imagined not seeing Bananarama. But things happen the way they do for specific reasons. My cousins and I used to sing "Celebration" at family reunions and force family members a quarter each to see us perform the song. That was back in 1980. Forty years later, I will get to hear the real deal in person and have new memories to add to those from my childhood. Like Patty Smyth & Scandal sang in their amazing show tonight, "There are no mistakes."

A pile of problems must now be faced by the domestic textile industry. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said, statistically, the import of textiles and national textile products (TPT) was recorded to increase. Ie, from USD 4.7 billion in 2017 to USD 4.9 billion in 2018, then USD 3.9 billion in September 2019.
"The US raised tariffs on Chinese products that impact on Indonesia due to a flood of imported products," he said last weekend.
The former managing director of the World Bank continued, another problem was that the production capacity and investment of the TPT upstream industry increased, but the absorption capacity of the industry (middle) in the country was lacking. This condition makes the market for the TPT upstream industry export.
For the middle industry, there is a decline in production capacity due to environmental problems and old production machinery. This has an impact on downstream industries that are difficult to get domestic raw materials due to lack of supply. In fact, he continued, the utilization of downstream industrial production is only 56 percent.
He detailed, the domestic capacity for fiber yarn reached 3.1 million tons and 3.9 million tons of textiles. However, what is astonishing is that when production is not full, there are even imports of 1.2 million tons of fiber.
"If on the one hand there is no use of the capacity of production but there are imports, it means there are various kinds of problems faced in the industry," he explained.
A pile of problems from upstream to downstream is what is called making the textile industry depressed. Plus there are no restrictions on the import of apparel.
The current condition is that the upstream TPT, such as yarn and fabric, is monitored under the conditions of import quota and surveyor reports. Meanwhile, garment TPT only requires surveyor's report.
"The treatment of upstream and downstream import trade system supervision needs a more comprehensive study," he added.
Head of the Sub Directorate General (Kasubdit) of the Ministry of Finance Customs and Excise Deni Surjantoro added, in addition to machinery problems, the industry is facing environmental issues from waste in the printing process. Therefore, it needs improvement steps in the middle industry.
"Downstream industries want to take goods while there is no production. Because there is no incoming production, he also imports downstream, "he said.
Less optimal industry in the middle is also the cause of the entry of imported fabrics. From the data of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the volume of fabric imports increased during the 2016-2018 period. The average rising trend was recorded at 31.80 percent per year.
In 2016, cloth imports were recorded at 238,219 tons, then rose to 291,915 tons in 2017. Imports of cloth again grew to 413,813 tons in 2018.
The largest volume of Indonesian fabric imports came from China with an import share of 67.86 percent in 2018. Besides China, Indonesia imported fabrics from South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Note: Since the publication of this article in 2000, it has been a kind of unofficial T Nation Christmas card. This year Chris gave an update for 201
The Christmas Party
"So, what are you doing professionally these days?" Bob asked me.
We sat on a couch at these boring holiday meetings, the ones where you're supposed to be nice to family members you'll never see except during big holidays and funerals.
"I work for T-Nation.com."
Bob looked at me blankly.
"It's a website that builds muscle," explained.
Empty view. Hart in the spotlight. A politician during a teleprompter glitch.
"Oh," Bob finally said, "Like bodybuilding and stuff? I do not have time to lift weights all day and all the crap, but that was I meant to get rid of that beer belly."
He took another sip of beer. "What do you suggest?" Sip .
Bob swelled his natural light, smoked a cigarette and waited for an answer. I tried to figure out how to explain to the average person what the typical nation reader is doing and why he is doing it. How could I let him understand what we are doing?
"Make yourself, Bob, but we do it in part because of people like
.We look like you're sitting there, your belly is hanging over your belt, and we'll see you fight like that Getting out of a chair People like you are our inspiration.
"We love it when you do not talk about having time to practice. Every time we see you chew on a bag of Oreos, inspire us. They are our shot in the arm, our wake up call.
"You want to know what we are doing? We overcome .
" We are too busy to train but overcome. We are too busy to prepare healthy meals and eat several times a day, but we overcome. Our genetics are not perfect and we do not always feel like going to the gym. Some of us used to be just like you, Bob, but you know what? We have overcome.
"We like it when" normal "people tell us how they can not get in shape.We smile and nod sympathetically as if we feel your pain, but in reality we think you need a spine to grow and go to a gym.
"You smile embarrassed and say you just can not stay motivated. We hear you complaining. We watch as you search for the easy way out. Because of people like you, we never miss a workout.
"They ask us for advice on dieting and training, and we usually offer polite guidance, but deep inside we know you will not take it, you know that too, we smile and say," I hope this helps. Good luck! "But we know that most people will not listen and as soon as they hear that it requires hard work, sacrifice and discipline, they vote us out."
"We know they wanted to build that strong, athletic body is easy, but it just is not ten minutes a day with the latest infomercial training do not do this. A strong body does not cost five simple payments of $ 39.95.
"We like that when you eat a chocolate bar and drink Mountain Dew, we enjoy a protein shake, which makes the taste even better." While we sleep, we either get up early or stay up late, hit the iron, push us, learn, follow and fail and rise above the norm with each repetition.
"Can you sense that, Bob? Can you tell something? No? Well. That would not be half as funny if you could.
"We do it because we totally and totally give up, we do it because what we do in the gym goes on and changes in the rest of our lives – physically, mentally, maybe even mentally. because it's better than watching celebritards on TV.
"When we're in the gym, we're in this indescribable, euphoric zone. It is a feeling to be at to be completely alive. In this haze of pleasure and pain, there is knowledge and power, self-discipline and self-confidence.
"If you do it long enough, there is even enlightenment, sometimes answers to questions you did not even know sitting on those rubber mats, disguised as iron plates and bent rods."
"Do you want to lose that beer belly, Bob ? I have a crazy idea. Put the damn beer away.
"I'll tell you something, Bob, I'll get up early on Christmas morning and knock on the iron, the gym will be closed, so I'll raise it in the garage, it's in my house at six, okay? It will be colder than Hillary Clinton's Coochie, so get dressed warm.
"But let me tell you something, Bob. If you do not show up, you should not ask me again. And never sit on your beer belly again.
"This is your chance to climb out of this cage, if you do not show up, you've learned an important lesson about yourself." They do not like this lesson.
"You will not like that feeling or taste in your mouth, it will taste worse than defeat, the defeat is pretty evil, but what you will taste will be even more bitter." It will be the knowledge that you you'll know that did not try to become your standard response to the challenges of life
"Do not look at me like that either. This could be the best Christmas present you receive this year. If I see you again next year, I'll try to get a bit bigger, a little bit stronger and a little slimmer. What will you be? Will you still apologize?
"This is a gift, Bob." What do you say, Christmas morning, before the children wake up, hot coffee and cold dumbbells in my house? "
The best time is now [19659041] Maybe those are not exactly the words I used, but you have the idea.
Will Bob show up? I do not know, but he probably takes me from his Christmas card list. I think he just got stuck in a rut, and as the saying goes, the only difference between a furrow and a grave is the depth. In the beginning it is too pleasant.
If you are a regular reader of the T-Nation, I doubt that you need to be called. But maybe you got caught doing it? Maybe you've missed a few training sessions or you've started the usual holiday festivities a bit too early, like in September.
Remember that now is the time to work on this next goal. The time to get rid of those bad habits that hold you back is now. You want to look very different until the next Christmas? Start now.
That's not because of some crazy New Year's resolution. If you are serious about this resolution, you would already do so. The best time for productive action is always now .
At this season, I want you to enjoy being with your family. Open gifts, New Year's Eve and a good meal. But if your regular workout happens to be on vacation, what will you do this morning at six?
This sets us apart from people like Bob.

I sat to write this message as I do each week. Nothing came to my mind or on to the page in front of me. I sat in meditation for a process of asking "What wishes to be said today ?". Oh, how the thoughts ran rampant through my mind. Enthusiastic thoughts about love, peace and nonviolence, and thoughts about honoring Black History Month. Back to writing, I wrote with great expectancy to complete the message. With a page half filled, it didn't seem to be what needed to be written so I deleted it. Now on my third deletion of text, I return to my cushion and sit in the silence once again. What shines brightly through each of the topics that initially attracted my attention is the call for love. The call for love for our African American community, for the history in our United States and for the experiences of modern times. There is a call to feel and realize that the experiences of persons of color may vary greatly from the experiences that I have in life. There is a call to love all people without regard to the shade of their skin.
Anyone who has experienced violence may need an enormous helping of pure love. The violence that exists in families and communities is as broad as our country. Violence of any kind does not happen without long lasting consequence. Love those whose lives are impacted and marked by violence. There is a call to love people who have experienced violence as well as people who are demonstrating violence. The call is loud, clear, and often an unmistakable screaming for love.
Anyone whose heart is not at peace surely benefits from love. On any given day we may encounter another soul with a restless or tormented heart. Perhaps they are a person who finds this human world just too difficult to navigate. Sharing our love with every person without exception to outer appearances assures us that we are living the commandment that Jesus gave his disciples in John 13:34 when he said:" So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other". There is a call to those who are suffering.
Just love. Love everyone. Love everything. Love all the time! Call upon spiritual discernment to see souls rather than behaviors. Invite wisdom and understanding to demonstrate to others what you seek in a heathy relationship. Find ways to be together lovingly as a community. Honor the life story of yourself and of others so that we can grow in compassion, kindness and love.

The premiere episode of Westworld isn't interested in holding your hand. It's not interested in too carefully delineating how this adult theme park works. And it's really not interested in giving you just one side of this creator/host/visitor trichotomy to support. Like Game of Thrones before it, Westworld is not afraid of challenging its audience when it comes to messy morals and enigmatic plotting. And, like Game of Thrones, Westworld has a nascent confidence that implies the experience will be worth the narrative effort. What does that all mean? Basically, everything is about to go to hell (or rather, as Peter Abernathy suggests, hell is coming to Westworld) and we are going to feel really conflicted about it.
A lot happens in the first hour-and-a-bit of HBO's wonderfully self-reflective new series. We are introduced to Westworld, an adult theme park where people can pay $40,000 per day to fuck and/or kill their way through the Wild West. In watching the first episode, I was reminded of about a dozen other movies and TV shows, most especially Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, the ongoing AMC international co-production Humans, classic the-robots-are-among-us drama Battlestar Galactica, as well as Prometheus, Ex Machina, and dystopian YA franchise The Hunger Games. But these are thematic similarities (the best kind) more than anything. Westworld isn't redundant, but rather, it joins in an ongoing cultural conversation. And though it may be too early to tell if it has anything worthwhile to add to this conversation concerning science as religion, corporate negligence, artificial intelligence, and the ways we dehumanize entire groups in order to justify violence and oppression, the show is certainly off to an auspicious start.
Evan Rachel Wood's Dolores is our gateway character in an ensemble filled with characters who are often uncomfortably easy to empathize with (I blame the great cast). Dolores' debrief voiceover serves as a graceful expository frame tale guiding us in and out of the episode. And, right now, this is her story. It's easy to sympathize with Dolores. This pilot may be called "The Original," presumably a reference to Dolores status as the oldest host in the park, but it could have been called "Dolores and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day." In this first installment, she sees her boyfriend die (twice), her mother and father die once, her father slip into some kind of stroke-like existential crisis, and she is raped. (Thankfully, the sexual violence happens off-screen, a fact that immediately ingratiates this show to me.) I'm just glad she got in some time for her painting.
James Marsden is perfectly cast as Teddy Flood, the heroic good guy who is destined to lose (a role he perfected in X-Men, Superman Returns, and The Notebook). The love story between Teddy and Dolores is perfect example of how Westworld can have its cliche cake and eat it, too. Cliches are literally the point of this world, where people go to take place in familiar pop culture narratives (in this case tropes of the western). Dolores and Teddy's relationship is a traditional love story that modern audiences might be tempted to roll their eyes at, if not for the fact that we know it is programmed to be a trope. They love each other because they are meant to, because that's what would have happened in The Searchers. Where that programming stops and a true love begins is the question at the very center of artificial intelligence and this show. Do they only love each other because they are supposed to? Does it matter? Will how they feel about one another change as the update and its "reveries" continue to affect the androids?
Elsewhere in Westworld, Ed Harris' Gunslinger is on a one-man mission to find the deeper game to play, and he doesn't care who he rapes, kills, or tortures to do it. The Gunslinger dehumanizes the androids around him in a way that is different from newcomers to the park, so much so that I spent much of the first episode trying to decide if the Gunslinger is human or android. In the film on which the show is loosely based, the Gunslinger is the chief antagonistic android presence. When his programming that keeps him from losing every duel goes wrong, he starts hunting down the Westworld guests. Will the Westworld TV show keep to that basic plot?
Right now, the Gunslinger is much more interested in hunting down his fellow (?) androids than he is any humans. (Perhaps because he knows that would send up some serious red flags?) At one point, the Gunslinger tells Dolores that he's been coming to her farm for 30 years. At another point, he mentions having paid a lot of money. Is he just playing the part of a newcomer or is he really a human from the outside world? My money is on the former.
Westworld is violent, but its violence has a purpose in a way that many other series' gore doesn't. Frankly, the violence is a way of uncomfortably aligning us viewers with the "newcomers" to the park, the group that this show so far is the least interested in (something that will no doubt change as it moves forward). The visitors to the park delight in the violence and sex and sensationalism. It's what they paid for. They're not unlike the audience at home in this way. Because it isn't just the Westworld Programming Division's sweet monitoring board that reminds me of Hunger Games; it's also Westworld's subtle interest in shaming its viewers alongside its visitors. You enjoyed Hector Escaton's stylish robbery, didn't you? (Really, though, this sequence is so stylish edited, acted, and soundtracked.) Well, so did Craig when he shot Hector through the neck before he could deliver his "chilling" speech. We might see these two acts as inherently different, but the lack of panache in one is really the big difference — and Westworld seems poised to interrogate that.
Craig might know that Hector will live to see another narrative loop, but we know that Craig is really actor Currie Graham who will likely meet an eventual messy end (because, after that photograph debacle, he has to die, right?). We are the layer of this meta puzzle that can see all of the other layers: more than the residents of Westworld or the "newcomers" or the people at Westworld Programming Division or even the mysterious "management." The tension between these layers is one of the reasons this show so gripping from the get-go. It begs us to ask the same question as Peter Abernathy.
Westworld Programming Division has its own motley cast of complicated characters, including Anthony Hopkins' Dr. Ford, the brilliant old man who is responsible for all that Westworld is and who is deeply conflicted about it (as he should be). Ford could just be a stock Michael Crichton billionaire genius archetype, if not for the fact he has a straight-up sir playing him. Hopkins imbues Ford with a benevolence that will no doubt make us much more conflicted about the fate of this philosopher genius type moving forward. Because if you feel sympathy for and angry on behalf of the artificial beings of Westworld, then some of that anger should probably be directed towards Dr. Ford.
It's easier to hate Bernard Lowe (played wonderfully by Jeffrey Wright, who was also, coincidentally, in the Hunger Games franchise). Bernard doesn't only dehumanize the artificial beings he helps to create, but also the people around him. One of the most chilling moments of an episode that actually included a half-exsanguinated man trying to crawl over a cliff to end his torture came in Lowe's obsession with boss Theresa Cullen's eyebrow movement. He wants to record it and "show it to his team," as if Cullen and the rest of the world, were just one big science project.
One of the richest scenes to pick apart comes in the form of a smoke break between Westworld operations leader Cullen (played by Borgen's Sidse Babett Knudsen) and Westworld narrative director Lee Sizemore (Simon Quarterman). It is the only scene that takes place outside of Westworld or its headquarters (though just barely). We see outside of the compound as Cullen takes her smoke break and Lee interrupts. It is a fitting setting for a scene that focuses on the larger world outside of Westworld and its operations headquarters, something we get almost no mention of in this pilot and, more than anything, feels like an important mystery to solve.
Lee alludes to Westworld's larger purpose, something Theresa confirms is a thing. Lee also asks Theresa if she will be "rotated home" soon, implying that Westworld is a great distance from civilization. Does this just mean they are out in the desert, or could there be a crazier explanation, i.e. on a space ship or another planet. (Too crazy? Discuss in the comments.) What is management's greater purpose? Who else knows about it? Are we even asking the right questions? One thing's for sure: it's going to get a lot bloodier before we get our answers.
Rating: ★★★★ Very good
— Does Bernard have children or not? He tells security officer Ashley Stubbs not, but is later seen staring at a photo of a kid. Dr. Ford makes it seem like they are relatively close to being able to bring people back to life, in some way. Could that be Bernard's goal?
— Thandie Newton's Maeve as a Westworld madame who is 100 percent over everything is an early favorite. She gets some of the best moments of the night, including heckling Hector for robbing their saloon/whorehouse instead of a bank or train, then shooting the face off of one of Hector's men who tries to take Clementine. #SquadGoals
— It's pretty amazing that Michael Crichton came up with this concept in the 70s and that it is still so thematically relevant to today's anxieties and debates.
— "My father taught me we were all once new to this world." — Dolores, potentially on her relationship with Dr. Ford.
— How creepy is it that Westworld operations team calls the defunct artificial beings "livestock"? I like to refer to them as: Dolores' Future Trojan Horse Robot Resistance Army… unless one of the robot-horses will be the Trojan horse? Too literal? I can't be the only person who thought that horse was going to bite off that kid's hand during Dolores' Bob Ross Painting Hour.
— "You're one of them, aren't you? You're not real." — A kid to Dolores
— It was tough to see Eddie Rouse's Kissy so quickly killed off when it is such a cool opportunity to have a native character with agency in a western-style revenge drama. At first, I thought this was just a missed narrative opportunity. But, upon doing further research, discovered that showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy had a whole arc lined up for Kissy's character, but the actor behind the role, Eddie Rouse, died shortly after filming the Westworld pilot in 2014. Very sad.
— The music in this premiere episode was spectacular, especially its interpretation of The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" during the Hector shootout scene.
— "There's a deeper level to this game. You're gonna show me how to get there." — The Gunslinger
— Speaking of the Hector shootout scene, the award for Badass of the Night goes to the female sharpshooter who takes out the village townspeople like it's just another Tuesday. (Which, I guess for her, is probably true.) If they do this imminent android-human war dodgeball-team-draft style, someone should definitely choose her first.
— "Hell is empty and all the devils are here." — Peter Abernathy
— "Self-delusion is a gift of natural selection." — Bernard Lowe
— What did Peter Abernathy really whisper in Dolores' ear? Because it seemed a heck of a lot longer than "These violent delights have violent ends." And what did Bernard whisper in Peter Abernathy's ear? And what is with this show and inaudible dialogue?! (Editor's Note: If you had on Closed Captioning let us know if it reveals anything!)
— "The problem with the righteous is they can't shoot for shit." — Hector
— "My most mechanical and dirty hand shall have such revenges on you both." — Joe Abernathy to Dr. Ford and Bernard.
— The death of a fly has never had such confidence.

Arsenal could have interest in emerging South American talent – Gunners official travels for tournament
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
We've said it before now, scouting young talent is big business for the elite level sides in Europe.
Finding and securing the best young talent from the world over is as essential as big-money signings these days.
That desire to scout the world's best talent has led the big sides to the Tenerife Tournament and Arsenal were among them.
The event is for South American teams to prepare for the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament, with Brazil, Argentina, Chile and the United States all competing.
Portuguese newspaper Record report that several teams have scouts in attendance for the tournament, which is taking place in Gran Canaria, and Arsenal are among them.
There's no mention of who the Gunners may have been scouting, although there's every chance they're keeping an eye on one of their own.
Arsenal striker Gabriel Martinelli is part of the Brazil squad for the tournament so it would make sense to keep an eye on him.
Record, though, suggest it might just be a case of transfer opportunism.
Accreditation was open for the event, and the chance to see Brazil vs Argentina was too tempting to turn down, especially if you're Arsenal.

Stand Up Paddle Board Accessories
At Triocean surf we stock a large range of Stand Up Paddle Board accessories for you to choose from. So whether a Stand Up Paddle Board leash to a pump for your Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board, we have the lot!
The Leash is a very important accessory as it attaches your stand up paddle board and to your ankle or calf. From a safety point of view whether on flat water or surf, should you fall, the leash will ensure you do not loose your board. In the surf it also prevents your board hitting other water users.
A coiled leash is used on flat water as most of the leash will be out of the water to avoid collecting debris. A straight leash is used in surf to ensure the board moves away from you should you fall off, reducing the chance of your board hitting you. In our store we have both flat and coiled SUP leashes from leading brands including Starboard, Red Paddle Co. and Ocean and Earth.
No matter how carefully you are when paddling, your paddle will hit the rails (sides) of the board near the front and the back, as the paddle enters and exits the water. This will over time, cause minor chips in the rails of the board (cosmetic damage). We stock Rail Saver Pro which is a heavy duty clear tape that is stuck to the rails of the board and prevents any damage. We offer a free, in-store fitting service for this and most other Stand Up Paddle Board accessories.

The first week of October brings us cooler weather and shorter days – we start to think about turning on the heat to keep the house warm – it also is Fire Prevention week throughout North America. Fire Prevention week dates back to the great Chicago Fire more than 140 years ago. The great fire was allegedly started by a cow knocking over a lamp. Now not many of us have cows at home any longer providing us with fresh dairy products but we are still trying to prevent fires from occurring.
Each year in Ontario people are still dying in fires that occur in homes. Each year we hear about families displaced by fires. Yet each year we continue to educate people on the importance of smoke alarms – how many is that I need again? That's right one on every level of your home. Of course they need batteries or power to work – who knew that when disconnected they can't do what they need to do – warn you and your family about a fire in your home.
Knowing what to do when you hear the fire alarm or smoke alarm is important whether at work, at home or at play. Do you know where you are going to meet with your family when the smoke alarm or fire alarm rings? Have your talked with your elderly parents about how they are going to get out of their home should a fire start? Fire safety is a lifelong exercise.
All too often a fire starts due to some sort of careless action – when you are in the kitchen and you are cooking, stay there – after all on top of the stove is heat fuel and oxygen – it only takes a second for a fire to start. If your pot does catch on fire don't move it – have you ever tried to carry a campfire in your hands? Just put a lid on the pan and the fire will go out.
Take a moment right now – do you know where your nearest exit is? Is it clear? Where will you meet your family or co-workers in an emergency?
When you turn on heating appliances you increase the chance that Carbon Monoxide might be lurking in your home. Carbon Monoxide is a clear, tasteless gas – you can't see it or smell it. Carbon Monoxide alarms are an important part of your family's safety. If you have fuel burning appliances – install a Carbon Monoxide alarm in a place where you can hear it when you are sleeping.
This year make it you goal to prevent fires from occurring – preventing fires is by far the best way to prevent injury, loss or even death.

Dr Who S8 E7 "Kill The Moon" (BBC One)
Contains spoilers for the episode.
If in the future anyone ever insists on describing Doctor Who as just a children's show, sit them down to watch the first half of "Kill The Moon" and then stop the DVD, turn to them, peel the cushion off their face that they've been hiding behind, and ask them if they still think that.
Because blimey, Charlie – that first 20 minutes on the moon was quite something. Fans (myself included) who've wanted the show to return to the darker, grimmer, horror-inflected days of Philip Hinchcliffe-produced 1970s Who not only got what what we asked for but had even us saying 'Whoa, wait a minute, let's back it down a few notches here!' It's a good job that the show aired so late (8.30pm) – as it is, if it had had even longer to establish the incredibly creepy and threatening setting any further than it did, even the watershed mightn't have been enough to stave off a flood of angry letters from viewers worried why their children turned out all traumatised on Sunday morning.
It's not the first time that giant spiders have turned up on Doctor Who of course – I still have fond (if that's the right word) memories of the antagonists of "Planet of the Spiders" who did for Jon Pertwee's Doctor in 1974. But back then we knew that the spiders weren't real because the FX were ever so slightly crap, which was a relief. Not the case in "Kill The Moon" however, where – thanks to some incredibly sharp and precise direction from Paul Wilmshurst – everything appeared terrifyingly real, enhanced by some of Murray Gold's best incidental music for the show in many a long year. Also to be highly commended is the way that the show reproduced the surface of the Moon via a combination of location shooting in Lanzarote and some digital decolourisation and grading to make it suitably lunar-hued. I would honestly say I've never seen the Moon look better on screen in any TV show or film, even 2001. It certainly knocked that studio set they used to mock up the Apollo 11 landings into a cocked hat. (Kidding!) Read the rest of this entry »
Dr Who S8 E6 "The Caretaker" (BBC One)
Contains some mild spoilers for the episode.
I confess, I really wasn't looking forward to this episode of season eight of Doctor Who, mainly because it seemed it would be very much in the same vein as Gareth Roberts' previous contributions to the show during Matt Smith's tenure, "The Lodger" and "Closing Time." Both of these had milked comedy from making the Doctor a fish of water in a contemporary urban setting – the first in a flat share, the latter by giving him a job in a department store. This weekend's instalment seemed to offer a retread of much the same ground, with the Doctor this time having to assume the identity of a school caretaker, once again proving how incapable he is of going 'undercover' and remaining remotely inconspicuous in any normal setting.
As a one-off concept in "The Lodger" this sort of thing worked perfectly well, giving Smith a chance to indulge in his most clownish comedy playing alongside James Corden and Daisy Haggard. While it avoided poking fun too directly at the show it was still too much Doctor Who: The Sitcom for my personal taste especially as the plot of the story was largely missing in action. The follow-up episode "Closing Time" tried to compensate for this by having a heavyweight threat in the form of the Cybermen, but that just resulted in the story going all over the place with lots of different influences pulling this way and that before a painfully mawkish and rushed ending. I was, therefore, resigned to "The Caretaker" continuing the downward trend and had little doubt that I would be writing a review that said "not my sort of thing, rather hated it, let's hope for better next week."

1. Tell us about yourself.
I was born and raised in Anaheim, California. I moved to El Paso when I was 12. I am the second oldest out of seven children. I am currently in the Master of Arts Nonprofit Management program at the University of Houston-Downtown. I intend to graduate December 2019. I have a B.A. in English/Professional Writing from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I currently reside in El Paso. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my three cats, camping, and going to the movies with my fiancé. Volunteering has always been a big passion of mine, so I look forward to my time here at United Way!
2. Give us a description of what you do for United Way.
As the Development Intern with United Way, I assist the director of resource development and the development team. All of the resources collected help United Way continue its work for the community.
3. Why is this work so important to our community?
As a nonprofit organization, United Way relies on the support of donors through various streams. Whether it is monetary or through donation of time, it is important for individuals to be involved with their community. Financial and volunteer resources that are collected through the campaign help United Way continue its mission to help El Pasoans achieve success within the areas of financial sustainability, education, basic needs, and health.
4. What is the most surprising thing you have learned about the community and yourself in your time at United Way?
Before beginning my internship, I knew fairly little about United Way. Now, the most surprising thing I have learned is how deeply involved the organization is within the community through many partnerships and collaborations. United Way brings so many organizations together to create a bigger impact in El Paso. In addition, I learned that this organization operates its own programs. While United Way is commonly viewed as a funder to other local nonprofits, it also oversees the operation of its own programs, such as the Grade Level Reading Initiative and Parents as Teachers.
5. Share a quote that motivates you as a person and as a member of the United Way team.
"For what it's worth; it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again." –Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
