In 1995, Dr. Jan Krupp, whom Peggy met through a mutual winemaking friend, began redeveloping Stagecoach Vineyard, and eventually planted olive trees on the property as companions to the grapevines. Along with Mission and a mix of Italian varietals – which are blended for our Stagecoach Italian Varietals oil -- Krupp grows the Spanish varietal Arbequina, which is pressed alone for this oil.
The Arbequina is the major cultivar of Catalonia in northeast Spain. Although thousands of these trees have been brought into California in the last ten years, these are the only Arbequina trees we know of in the Napa Valley. So because there were plenty, we decided to harvest them separately and produce what we think may be the only 100% Napa Valley Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the world.
Characteristics: grassy up front with stronger pungency
Tasting Bar Position: 4
Method of Production: Blade Press. Olivino Hopland, CA
Total Production: 55 gallons
Harvest Date: November 7, 2013
In our store in St. Helena we have a tasting bar where you can walk through a tasting of all of our oils. To try to bring that experience to you virtually, we are ranking the oils in order of their taste.
In evaluation of an extra virgin olive oil, you look for three positive characteristics:
A. Fruitiness - smell and taste - descriptors are mowed lawn, alfalfa, artichoke, etc.....
B. Bitterness - taste only - makes you grimace....as in a bitter lettuce.
C. Pungency - taste only - burn in your throat...described as "peppery". Attributed to higher levels of polyphenols which are antioxidants.
The order on the bar from the lightest to the "biggest" are as follows:
1. Hawks Feather Blade Press EVOO - More buttery style oil with slight pungency
2. Stagecoach Italian Varietal EVOO - light fruitiness with a mild pungent finish
3. Pedregal Italian Varietal EVOO - grassy up front with mild pungency
4. Stagecoach Arbequina EVOO - grassy up front with stronger pungency
5. Olio Nuovo Central Valley EVOO - soft fruitiness with strong pungent finish
6. Epstein Family EVOO - Strong balance of grass, bitterness and pungency....a "big" oil

[Spoilers from episode 21 below]
"When I kiss you next time, it's not going to be because the world is ending." — John to Astrid
I was so wrong about The Founder. I thought for sure he died during the explosion. Which goes to show how gullible I am, but who really guessed that The Founder lived — not by teleporting — but just because he was supposedly far away from the bomb? Not me. The majority, I believe, assumed he would escape with his powers. Now half of his face is charred because he stuck around. I'm not too happy that he lived, but in terms of chaos, he's a good person to stir the pot.
Plus, The Founder has to face Jed sooner or later. And speaking of our favorite crazy uncle, we have a lot to talk about. So let's jump in and discuss the good, the great and the brilliant moments from episode 21.
The Good: John lost his powers… and then "Jastrid" happened. My shipper heart was breaking for a solid hour. We had to endure John losing his powers, and every time he wanted inside the lair, he had to ask a tomorrow person to escort him. Now that Jedikiah has found a way to obtain powers, I'm wondering if John will go back to the way things were really quickly or if he'll try to find himself while being human. He seemed rather content without powers, less burdened, but there's a part of me that knows the kids in the lair need his leadership.
Jastrid alert! This happened. And then this. And then this happened! If you didn't catch that, John saved Astrid (again). Then Astrid kissed John. Then John smiled. The Jastrid fans probably outweigh the Jara fans (that's John and Cara), but I can't help but feel friendship between the two. I love a good epic friendship. Think Haley and Lucas from "One Tree Hill" or Caroline and Stefan from "The Vampire Diaries" — but the latter seems to be heading into romance territory anyway. I'm hoping that they'll continue to develop their friendship — because John needs someone sweet like Astrid in his life — but John and Cara should be endgame. Don't you think?
I've always felt like John and Cara are married. And while their relationship is bumpy, I was hoping they would work on strengthening it, not breaking up. Even with their short "break" — it kinda feels like John is cheating on Cara with Astrid. Their relationship was one of my favorite parts of the show. There wasn't anything quite like it before on The CW, and now that it's temporarily amiss, I'm all rain clouds and apple cores. But I do love seeing other fans' happiness when their ships set sail. So there's a rainbow in the horizon.
The Great: Jed has powers. I should have seen this coming! I didn't predict it though. I thought it was funny that Jed didn't really care about secrecy when he received his powers. He's been all about "concealing" them, and as soon as he has telekinesis, he stands in the middle of the street and swats a car to the side like it's a little gnat.
The Brilliant: Goodbye, Roger. Is he really dead? We won't know until the finale, but that last scene with Roger had my heart in knots.
Russell and Natalie (the blonde girl with braids) basically turned Roger in to protect themselves. And what hurt worse — Russell didn't seem to care. Even when he found out that he had chosen the wrong path, he went outside and kissed Natalie. She has put some type of spell on him. This is not the Russell we know and love. Wouldn't that be crazy if this whole season was Russell's origin story as he becomes a villain?
Okay, now it's your turn to weigh in! Since this was a Jastrid-heavy episode, I want to know who you ship with John Young. Vote below!

Inspiration and advice for your building project
I have just recieved a quotation for an electricity connection to my new self build, the price seems a little high for what they actually have to do . (7,000 pounds)
The connection will be a single phase supply off the main line which already runs over my plot, the work involves installing a new pole with a mounted transformer(on my land) then running the cable 35 metres to the house.
Thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
Hi Taffy,
Remember that price will include for 3 other men to stand there drinking tea and watching the other man work! :)
To be serious though the price sounds in the right ball park. We had to have a new 3-phase connection put into our business premises, over a lesser distance, 2 years ago and that cost £5,500.00.
One thing you could try is to see whether they'd let you dig the trench yourself and save some labour costs. You never know!
Hi Rob,
The price is actually quoted without the trench dig and backfill as they said I could do that part of the work myself.
This is what made the price so shocking.
Thanks for your comments
Hi Taffy,
Hmmmm, it does sound expensive then.
I'd ask the distributor for a copy of their 'basic charging statement' so you can see how it ties up with the price you have been quoted. They have to provide you with this so don't take no for an answer.
We sympathise with your plight but don't think the quote is too bad? We also have had issues with the cost of connection to electricity for our house which incidentally has never had an electrical supply so we live with a diesel generator( Not ideal!) We are about 1 mile from nearest pole and need 8 or 9 poles! Our first quote was £10,000 in 1999 which seemed alot at that time! This has risen to £58,000 in 2009 which is ridiculous. Each time we try to raise funds the price increases exponentially! We have tried other companies to do part of works but still the price is excessively expensive. Also the poles have to go across land owned by others who don't want them over their land! We had thought about going down green route but have issues with neighbouring land owners about siting of turbine etc? Has anybody had same experience or can offer advice?
You can query the charge and check there are no mistakes, but the electricity company largely have you at their mercy. With gas there is scope for competition between different providers, but I haven't yet found a mechanism for shaving costs on new electricity connections by using different contractors.
I expect you know there are four laborious steps to getting a new connection:
1. you dig the trench including sand base and yellow tape to warn future contractors they've reached a cable. The electricity firm then lay the cable through to a meter box (perhaps a temporary site one which they later extend into the house)
2. get a MPAN number issued by the electricity company
3. apply to a supply company for a meter installation and maybe wait another three weeks. The installing company is not allowed automatically to be your supplier, so you have to chase around clutching your MPAN number and find one.
4. once the meter is installed, get an elecrician to install the tails and fuseboard leading to temporary sockets or your main cabling.
Old question I know but that prices sounds good to me. Any idea how much tranny costs and the work that has to go in to the design before somebody even starts? Unless you are in the trade then jobs always look easy. Anyway if they wanted 100k what can you do, you got no choice
I applied for a supply to my new build in 2006 and because I knew there was a planniing application in for the plot next to mine I paid for a double supply after being told I would get a refund when the next application was recieved (and to avoid the long drive being dug up again) THEN the build next door was held up and I am now told I will not get a refund as it is more than 5 years Now I have to try to appeal and get my refund Can any one help !!
Hi guys can you help me!! I've got a plot of land that I'm in the process of building stables on! I am getting a log cabin mobile home to live in! I need electric to my field! Who do I contact to make this happen??
Hi Lucy,
I have posted your question as a new question in the Q&A so that people can see it. That way it is more likely you will get a response.
You can view it here:
ive just had a quote off weston power for electric to be installed on a new build barn conversion has to go 400m underground quote was £33,000 is there anyway of getting this lower thanks
I would like to add to this post with another question if I might. I am building a second property adjacent to my current one. It needs an electricity supply with a new meter. Following a quote from a provider I nearly fainted. My electrician had one of his connection guys have a look who said he could tap into the existing supply from property one at a 10th of the price. This is perfectly ok but electricity companies prefer the more expensive options. The problem I have is that if I contract him to do it "unofficially " how can I get an MPAN number to get a meter installed?
Any help greatly appreciated.

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) today applauded the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) announcement of an updated Energy Star specification for digital televisions (DTVs), a move CEA says will lead to further reductions in the amount of energy consumed by digital televisions.
"CEA and its members are proud to have worked directly with the EPA to develop a specification so new-generation televisions can bear the well-recognized Energy Star label," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of CEA. "The consumer electronics industry has been committed to Energy Star since its inception in 1992, and together we have developed market-oriented energy efficiency incentives covering major categories of consumer electronics."
The new specification, which addresses all digital television display technologies, will grant the Energy Star label only to the top 25-30% most energy efficient TV models. In addition, for the first time, the new Energy Star specification will take into account active mode or "on" mode power consumption in addition to standby mode energy use.

Lockheed Martin WindTracer System Installed At Major Airports In Germany
DENVER, Aug. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- German Weather Service (DWD) has installed Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) WindTracer ® Doppler lidar systems at the Frankfurt and Munich airports as part of the Low Level Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS). Selex Systems Integration provided the LLWAS, which includes WindTracer lidar and weather radar.
By adding WindTracer lidar at the two largest airports in Germany, DWD takes a leading role in Europe, following International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Recommendation to provide concise information on wind shear which could adversely affect aircraft on the approach or take-off path.
WindTracer monitors atmospheric conditions and measures wind speed and direction along airport flight paths. It complements radar by excelling in dry and clear weather conditions. By using WindTracer, Selex has developed Europe's first radar and lidar operational integration for wind shear detection in all weather conditions.
WindTracer has been used worldwide for more than a decade to detect hazardous winds and aircraft wakes, providing improved safety for more than one million flights. The system successfully operates at airports in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, London, New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas.In Europe, Frankfurt is the third busiest airport, having handled 57.5 million passengers in 2012, according to Airports Council International, and Munich is the seventh busiest, accommodating over 38 million passengers in 2012. "WindTracer represents an affordable wind shear detection system for customers around the globe. Combined with weather radar, the system gives the airport a comprehensive picture of wind hazards," said Dr. Michael Margulis, director of WindTracer Programs at Lockheed Martin. "As a result, the highest detection rate for wind hazards, in both dry and wet environments, is achieved." WindTracer operates by transmitting pulses of eye-safe infrared laser light that reflect off naturally occurring aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Wind moves these particles, which alters the frequency of the light that is scattered back to the system. WindTracer processes the return signal and automatically detects hazardous winds to ensure operational safety during high-impact weather.

From National Shooting Sports Foundation
-- Legislation (SB 541) that would mandate, as early as 2009, bullet serialization -- the process by which each individual round of ammunition is identified and marked with a laser-engraved serial number -- has been referred to the Alabama State Senate Judiciary Committee.
NSSF is encouraging all sportsmen, hunters and firearms enthusiasts to contact members of the Judiciary Committee immediately, urging them to strongly oppose this would-be ammunition ban.
You may also contact your own state representative, urging him or her to voice their opposition to any bills that would mandate bullet serialization.
"If manufacturers had to comply with bullet serialization, NSSF estimates that it would take almost four weeks to manufacture what is currently produced in a single day," said NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane.
"This massive reduction in ammunition would translate into substantially lower sales and profitability, and ultimately force major ammunition manufacturers to abandon the market. In turn, there would be a severe shortage of serialized ammunition and all consumers, including federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, would be faced with substantial price increases. Ammunition will go from costing pennies to several dollars per cartridge."
The domestic small arms ammunition industry, utilizing modern manufacturing processes and distribution practices, produces between 10 and 12 billion ammunition cartridges a year at already low-profit margins. The three largest domestic manufacturers (who collectively account for the vast majority of the market) produce an estimated 20 million rounds of ammunition in a single day.
Ammunition manufacturers could not serialize their product without hundreds of millions of dollars in capital investment to build the new factories that would be needed in order to meet the requirements of bullet serialization. At the same time, hundreds of millions of dollars of existing plants and equipment, and decades of manufacturing (cost-saving) efficiencies, would be rendered obsolete.
"Bullet Serialization is dangerous and not practical," continued Keane. "As legislation that would mandate bullet serialization not only threatens law-abiding gun owners but our industry's ability to supply the nation's law enforcement officers and military with high-quality ammunition, we encourage all citizens of Alabama to contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and urge them to oppose this bill."

What are Screencasts?
Screencasts are video clips, ususally of captured computer screen content, they can have accompanying audio commentary or some have text call-out comments instead. Typical screencasts may be of a PowerPoint presentation with audio commentary, or demonstrations of how to use particular features of computer software packages. We have some screencast guides on the ipark website here.
The links below provide some further detail into screencasting and key resources.

Case Studies
Case Study 1 - Screencasting to replace lectures on the Introduction to Critical and Cultural Theory module
Asynchronous 1 hour lecture delivered via Blackboard as an online movie with audio track synchronised to PowerPoint slides and chapter navigation. Suitable for unlimited numbers of students on multiple sites
Learning objectives for the class understanding and analysis of key ideas in Critical and Cultural theory based on set readings of primary texts.
Click the image to view an example of the screencasts
Prior to the session:
All students undertake prescribed reading of primary texts, secondary commentary and literary texts so that they all have a shared knowledge of the issues raised by the texts and the difficulties they present.
During the Session:
The lecture is asynchronous and navigable, so that the precise manner in which the learning resource is used may vary from student to student. The common elements of the lectures are:
- Contextualisation of primary texts, which helps to account for some of the difficulties the texts present to students encountering them for the first time.
- Identification and explication of the most important concepts, using written and spoken language as well as coherent narrative, schematic diagrams and vivid images in order to support learning and reinforce understanding through a variety of preferred learning styles.
- Application of abstract concepts to a series of concrete examples.
- Reinforcement of prior learning through a spiralling curriculum that encourages students to compare and contrast different theoretical concepts at points of convergence.
Follow up activity:
Students discuss issues arising from the set reading and the lecture in seminars, and subsequently include reflective analysis of readings, lectures and seminars in a personal learning journal. The nature of the curriculum also encourages students to recall and re-examine concepts in later weeks.
Case Study 2 - Screencasting used for Revision for a Business Module
The project within the Business School was to record a series of screencasts for Management, Work and Society, a final year undergraduate module. These were to be launched in the final week of the teaching term to be used for independent revision. Each screencast consisted of a series of slides, summarising key points from the lectures. Accompanying the slides was an audio narrative, explaining and expanding on the points. The narrative was also available as an MP3 download so that they could be listened to independently of the slides. Narratives lasted between eight and eleven minutes, with 16 screencasts being recorded in total.
The module is theoretically based, introducing new ideas and concepts not previously addressed on the course. From student feedback many find the material challenging though enjoyable. The screencasts were a tool to support the revision process and were not a replacement for the lecture but summaries of key points to underpin student understanding. Lecture material was to a greater depth and students would have to expand their revision from the screen casts to achieve high grades. When launching the screencasts it was made clear that these were part of the revision process and not a complete replacement for personal revision.
The opportunity to add narrative to the slides was important as lecture notes and presentations do not always convey complex ideas for some learners. An additional benefit from the project was that a dyslexic student within the group welcomed alternative forms of material to support his learning.
The screencasts were available through Blackboard. The module already utilises Blackboard for all lecture materials and a weekly information bulletin. The screencasts were therefore available within a currently utilised communication forum to ease access and increase usage.

Posted on behalf of Dan Bleaken, Malware Data Analyst, Symantec Hosted Services
The Haiti earthquake happened at 21.53 GMT on Tues Jan 12. It wasn't long before we saw something related in spam, about 24 hours in fact.
Spammers, almost without fail, produce spam campaigns containing text relating to virtually every major newsworthy event that is going on. And also plenty of events that are in the news, that are not particularly global or exciting or even interesting sometimes. The approaches that spammers frequently use when newsworthy events arise include:
1. Spammers may just continue to send the same old spam campaigns, Pharmaceuticals, fertility drugs, watches or whatever. But, if they include the latest news headlines in the subject or somewhere in the body, this works to grab the attention of the recipients and make it more likely they will open the spam and get drawn into whatever the spam is offering. These tend be large in volume, but we haven't seen them for Haiti earthquake yet.
2. They also continue to send the same old spam campaigns, but include large chunks of text scraped from news websites (or sometimes from other websites, such as blogs), to act as anti-spam "poison" in the mail message body. This is intended to confuse signature-based or Bayesian anti-spam tools, and may also seek to obstruct attempts at tracking different types of spam. We have seen a few of these types for Haiti.
3. The spammers may take moretime to create brand new spam runs related to the newsworthy event – these are often the most interesting from a research perspective. In this case spammers go out of their way to create a new campaign from scratch which is wholly related to the event, rather than just mentioning an event as above. There are plenty of examples of these below, especially for 419-style or advance-fee fraud scams.
Because 3. is harder to produce, spammers usually go for the simpler "insert subject here," "or add some text here" approach of 1. And 2. It's very easy for spammers to set-up automated scripts to take news text and news headlines from various website and include them into their latest spam campaigns.
We have been tracking spam message that contains keywords such as "haiti," "quake," "port-au-prince," etc. from a few hours after the earthquake first struck:
The initial few spam messages that were related to the Haiti quake were on January 13 and 14, but they were not really about the earthquake. They just included some of the keywords we had been tracking, as anti-spam poison (as in example 2. above). However, we have seen a lot more of these in the days following the disaster.
The first spam that we found which really was related to the earthquake included a 419-style scam which arrived at about 0500 GMT on January 14. My colleague, Mat Nisbet wrote a nice blog posting about this one (http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/419-style-sc...).
Here's another one:
And another one:
Shortly after these 419s we saw a campaign with the Subject: "Help Wyclef Jean and the Haiti Earthquake Victims." In this example, they've included a list of legitimate domains to donate to, but it invites the recipient to reply to the mail in order to make a donation as well. This spammer is counting on people replying in order to receive their money. The spammer is using the service akapost.com, to conceal the reply address. Haiti-born Wyclef Jean is actively involved in generating support for Haiti (http://wyclefjean.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/stateme...), and spammers perhap are aware of this are trying to use his name to add legitimacy to their scams.
And here's an exampe of another 419 scam from last Sunday. The link given in the email is for an image, hosted on a well-known UK-based newspaper's website:
We found something quite stunning last Thursday – a 419 style scam related to the Haiti earthquake, containing a large chunk of text used in a 419 scam relating to the Indian Ocean Tsunami in January 2005. A great example of spammers re-cycling old campaigns/templates.
First the original Tsunami 419 scam from 2005:
And now the more recent Haiti Earthquake 419 scam:
And on Sunday, a UNICEF phishing attack was intercepted. The email claims to be from UNICEF asking for a donation to the Haiti earthquake. In actual fact it's a phish which would lead recipients to a phishing website (which doesn't exist anymore as it has been taken down). The phishing website asked for their personal details, including their credit card details:
In terms of volumes of spam seen, it has only been relatively tiny fractions of a percentage of all spam; however, bearing in mind that more than 100 billion spam mails are sent globally each day, there is a very large volume of Haiti related mails in circulation. I'd estimate that an average of at least 50 million spam have been sent each day related in some way to the Haiti earthquake. It demonstrates what we often see elsewhere in the cyber criminal world, that spammers especially are quick to react to and use the latest news stories in existing spam campaigns or sometimes they will create brand new ones, as we have seen here.
My general advice is that whenever you learn of an appeal for donations that you wish to contribute towards, you should contact the charity directly yourself and ensure that it is a genuine appeal, and that your money really is going where to where you want it to go.

ValidationType Enumeration
Specifies the type of validation to perform.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
|Member name
| Obsolete. Validates if DTD or schema information is found.
|Validates according to the DTD.
|No validation is performed. This setting creates an XML 1.0 compliant non-validating parser.
Default attributes are reported and general entities can be resolved by calling ResolveEntity. The DOCTYPE is not used for validation purposes.
No validation errors are thrown.
|Validate according to XML Schema definition language (XSD) schemas, including inline XML Schemas. XML Schemas are associated with namespace URIs either by using the schemaLocation attribute or the provided Schemas property.
| Obsolete. Validate according to XML-Data Reduced (XDR) schemas, including inline XDR schemas. XDR schemas are recognized using the x-schema namespace prefix or the Schemas property.
The XmlReader class can enforce validation using a schema or document type definition (DTD). The ValidationType enumeration specifies the type of validation the created XmlReader instance should perform. The XmlReader instance can be either a validating XmlReader object created by the Create method, or an XmlValidatingReader object.
The validation model has three characteristics, strict, informative, and status. Strict, does not allow the mixing of validation types, informative provides a warning if the schema or document type definition (DTD) cannot be found, and status provides warnings if validation cannot be performed for elements and attributes from schemas.

For more information: Please contact Michael Tucker, the Course Materials & General Book Manager at 725-3032.
Before you order: The Library subscribes to thousands of full-text electronic journals, which license the College to create e-reserves for students. If any of your course packet readings are available as electronic articles, please consider using these items as e-reserves or linking to them from your Blackboard course instead of including them in a printed course packet. This will eliminate the redundant payment of copyright permission fees, saving money for your students and for Bowdoin! Please check the Library Find Journals database on the Library Gateway, or contact the Library (x3280) for assistance.

If you have any questions, please contact Michael Tucker, the Course Materials and General Book Manager, 725-3032, Fax: 725-3469.
How do I obtain desk copies?
This is dependent upon your particular academic department, but usually your department coordinator orders these. If you would like to order them yourself, the Bookstore can provide contact addresses.
What if I ordered a desk copy and it hasn't arrived? What can I do?
You may borrow one copy of the book from the Bookstore and when your desk copy arrives, return this to the Textbook Center in Coles Tower. It must be a new book. Please be aware that your department account will be charged for all books that are not returned to the Textbook Center in a timely fashion.
Do I get a desk copy for my course packet?
Yes. You will receive a desk copy if your order is submitted by the course packet deadline.
What if I miss deadlines?
Text requests—Late orders may need to be rushed in order to assure timely arrival and the department account will be charged for the rush charges. Late orders also inhibit the ability of the Bookstore to give students the most money for their books at buyback and may reduce the ability of the Bookstore to acquire used copies of textbooks.
Course packets—All are judged on a per case basis, but due to the time consuming work of obtaining copyright permissions, late course packets may not be available until after the semester begins.
What if I cancel a book from my syllabus after it has arrived at the Bookstore?
Your department account will be charged a restocking fee of 20% of the cost of the cancelled books.

(I wrote this essay with Andrew Smith and Yuanbo Wang.)
~ Perry Cox, MD
This year, we are turning our Big Five guns on the characters of Scrubs, the popular comedic hospital show. After starting with the European cult classic Dinner For One, we took a look at Friends and followed up with How I Met Your Mother. Whereas Dinner sported six octogenarians—four of whom dead—Friends and Mother opened a window into the U.S. American flirtation with prolonged, if not eternal, youth. Year after year, the same characters hover at the threshold of adulthood, a pose that becomes more precarious with each passing year. Mother is still hovering, which presumably will end when the mother of the poor kids who have been listening for a decade will finally come into motherhood.

Lock Hugh McMeniman and flanker Chris Alcock have returned to the Force starting XV for Saturday's clash against the Brumbies at nib Stadium.
McMeniman's selection in the starting line-up completes his return from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the second half of 2013. He will pack down alongside Sam Wykes on Saturday.
Alcock, who, along with Alby Mathewson, was one of only two players to play each match for the Force in 2013, will join captain Matt Hodgson and number eight Ben McCalman in the back row.
The Force will field an identical backline to last week, including Nick Cummins on the wing and Kyle Godwin at inside centre, who each crossed for the Force's two tries against the Waratahs.
The changes to the Force bench see lock Wilhelm Steenkamp and flanker Angus Cottrell start from the reserves list, while Jayden Hayward returns to the match-day squad after scoring 24 points in Force A's 29-23 win over Reds A in last Friday's Pacific Rugby Cup opener.
Fly-half Zack Holmes and reserve scrum-half Ian Prior will line up against their former club for the first time since joining the Force.
Head coach Michael Foley says his team is looking forward to playing in front of the 'Sea of Blue' for the first time in 2014.
"While we were disappointed with aspects of last week's game, the upside is we have control of how we deliver in those areas in the future," he said.
"Some of our discipline to system let us down, but the boys individually showed great spirit to still be in the fight at the 65th-minute mark.
"We're looking forward to playing at home in front of our supporters for the first time this season and above all else, our goal is to harness the individual fighting spirit into an 80-minute team performance."
The Brumbies have made two changes to their line-up with Wallabies outside centre Tevita Kuridrani has been injected back into the XV, replacing Andrew Smith, while Robbie Coleman takes over from wing Joseph Tomane, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
Despite going down 27-17 to the Reds in Canberra in last week's season opener, the Brumbies have opted for minimal changes as the the forward pack remains unchanged with Wallabies flank David Pocock returning to Perth for the first time to face his former team-mates.
Kuridrani played off the bench last weekend in what was his first game back since receiving a five match suspension for a tip tackle in the Test against Ireland and is a straight swap with Smith.
The Brumbies are hopeful Coleman will be fit to play having suffering a head knock in an ACT XV game last weekend, which will keep him out of training until Friday. Veteran wing Clyde Rathbone is on standby.
Western Force: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Patrick Dellit, 13 Junior Rasolea, 12 Kyle Godwin, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Matt Hodgson (C), 6 Chris Alcock, 5 Hugh McMeniman, 4 Sam Wykes, 3 Kieran Longbottom, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Tetera Faulkner.

Jet Set Knit Elastic Waist Solid Skirt 41 41
Cannot say enough about these skirts Since I wear the black version virtually every week, I thought I would woman up and write a review. Although the material is a comfortable and stretchy elastic, you can get away with wearing it to work with the right top or jacket. The black version is virtually indestructible and never shows dirt. I just purchased the tan color, and while beautiful (and nice to wear with black tops), it does show dirt more easily. This is easily the most well worn item in my closet. I love it!!! December 3, 2014
Over The Top Pleased Wow, My skirt just arrived, tried it on, and love the color, fabric, and fit. The color is better than I had hoped for...not a taupe color fan. But, it's a taupe that's deeper and richer than shown in the photos on line. The fabric feels luxurious and drapes in a very flattering way. And, the size is perfect. Almost never happens for me. I'm 4'11" and ~150 lbs. Don't have to do a thing but wear it. I gave it only 4 stars because I haven't worn it yet nor washed it. But, in my wardrobe I have many TS items and I love them all. Good job, TravelSmith. November 15, 2014
Not the best This skirt is very heavy and it has an odd shape. Not good for travel. I have returned this item. November 6, 2014
Didn't work for me The quality of this skirt is good, although the fabric seems a bit too heavy for light travelers. The size was way too large for me....I am 5'3" and weigh 107 pounds, and the PS hung on me, so I had to return it. The shape is cute, swingy & flattering and would work well for day or evening. November 5, 2014
My favorite travel skirt I own this skirt in both black and sandstone. Just got back from a month in Europe and these skirts were an indispensable part of my one-bag wardrobe. They never wrinkle, dry over-night and were cool on hot and humid days. It's true that the waistbands turn, but a quick tug usually straightens them out right away. I like the weight of the material because it hangs nicely and stays down in a breeze! I'm going to put in an order for one of the prints; hope they are the same fine quality. July 16, 2014
Wouldn't be without this skirt This skirt has been everywhere...even to the petting zoo where a goat chewed on it and left marks. They came right out in the wash. No holes. It's tough, easy to wear, cool in the summer, and travels like a champ. July 6, 2014
Good fit Very nice and packable..good fit. I'm able to wear it with a variety of tops. June 20, 2014
Not up to expected standards Very disappointed with skirt after reading good reviews. I have three black TravelSmith skirts that are fabulous "go to" pieces and was looking for another color. Something has gone amiss with size and quality lately. Used to be very dependable: fit, cut and fabric were always top notch and worth the price. Not so with this skirt. Fabric is heavy, mine seems to be awkwardly (large) in between sizes and waistband is poorly constructed - elastic twists in casing that is too small. I would have returned for exchange, but friend has also had problem with sizes lately and after three tries gave up. Skirt is wearable with a jacket to cover ill fitting waist, so I will keep it but will not order again any time soon. June 13, 2014
