If you enjoy trout on your plate then your time is now. The trout bite, both spotted and sand seatrout could not be much better than last week. Oh, and I get asked a lot "what color do you prefer ?" And last week I narrowed it down to just two colors...light and dark. There, I gave up one of my secrets. Seriously, it just does not seem to matter when the trout are in the pre-spawn mode, they need to eat to fulfill their increased metabolism and egg development.
Shorebird nesting season is underway along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Florida and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds beachgoers to watch out for and to avoid disturbing birds and their young.

Go Triangle expects its Board of Trustees to vote April 26 on a $70 million engineering contract, which would be executed only after the FTA allows the project to advance.
Crews are still working to remove the 18 cars involved, with each car weighing about 37 tons. The NTSB is on the scene and fully in charge of the investigation.
GOP legislators have long sought to block planning and funding for light-rail projects, saying they put metro-area priorities above rural Minnesota.
The contract will expand PTV's fleet to 101 trains (606 cars) delivered from Alstom's manufacturing facility in Ballarat since 2002.
The decision to hold off on charging fares was based on two reasons — District Department of Transportation feared charging even $1 per ride would scare away passengers and charging a fare would actually cost the District money.

London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones has made 13 changes to his line-up for Friday's Premiership clash with Worcester at Sixways.
London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones has made 13 changes to his starting XV for Friday's Premiership fixture with Worcester at Sixways.
The Exiles lost 27-13 to Grenoble in the Amlin Challenge Cup last weekend which all but ended their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the second tier European competition.
Welsh are now looking to bounce back and pick up where they left off in the Round 10 of the Premiership – a 15-9 win over London Irish.
Victory at Sixways would see Welsh leapfrog Worcester on the table. The Warriors sit only one point above them in ninth place.
From the side that lost to Grenoble last Saturday at the Kassam Stadium, Tom Arscott keeps his place at full-back, while Seb Jewell again lines up at inside centre.
Jones brings in international experience into the run-on side in the form of Gordon Ross, Frank Montanella, Sonny Parker and Kirill Kulemin.
Rob Lewis, who has recently been signed on loan from Cardiff Blues until the end of the season, is named at scrum-half.
Arscott and flanker Adam Balding both return to Sixways where they spent several seasons.
"Worcester have stabilized in the Premiership and are now taking their game on to another level of accuracy which is required in this league," said Jones.
"We realise we have a lot of work to do to gain an understanding of what the important ingredients are in the Premiership. A win away from home against this side would be a huge achievement for us as a team."
Meanwhile, lock James Percival returns to the starting line-up to captain Worcester Warriors in this match.
Head Coach Richard Hill makes a total of four changes to his starting line-up as Warriors resume top-flight league action.
Samoa wing David Lemi is recalled while full-back Chris Pennell and centre Josh Matavesi are also back as Worcester look to maintain the club's unbeaten run on home soil that extends back to the start of September.
Hooker Aleki Lutui is named among the replacements and could make his 100th Aviva Premiership appearance if he features in the game.
"London Welsh have had a very good and cannot be underestimated," said Hill.
"Most people wrote them off before the season started, so it is credit to the coaching staff and players that they have played with no fear and have got their tactics right against most teams.
"They were promoted to the league late on, so to arrive where they are is an outstanding feat and they already have some big scalps. They will have identified this game as one that is winnable so we have got to be top notch to get a result."
Form: Worcester Warriors' last nine matches in all competitions have all been won by the home side on the day. The Warriors' single defeat at Sixways this season came on the opening weekend of Aviva Premiership Rugby on 1 September, 23-24 to Bath. London Welsh gained a fourth victory in their debut season of Premiership rugby at home to London Irish on 1 December – just one of those wins have so far come on the road: 29-19 at Sale on 21 September. This is the two clubs first ever clash in England's top flight, but they have been regular protagonists at lower levels. Of the 18 previous league meetings between the two Worcester have won the last seventeen with the Exiles' solo victory over the Warriors being 28-13 at Sixways in National One on 25 October 1997.
The teams:
Worcester Warriors: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Nikki Walker, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Josh Matavesi, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Paul Hodgson, 8 Semisi Taulava, 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Neil Best, 5 Chris Jones, 4 James Percival (c), 3 Euan Murray, 2 Ed Shervington, 1 Ceri Jones.
Replacements: 16 Aleki Lutui, 17 George Porter, 18 John Andress, 19 Dean Schofield, 20 Sam Betty, 21 Jonny Arr, 22 Danny Gray, 23 Jon Clarke.
London Welsh: 15 Tom Arscott, 14 Dan Caprice, 13 Sonny Parker, 12 Seb Jewell, 11 Nick Scott, 10 Gordon Ross, 9 Rob Lewis, 8 Ed Jackson, 7 Mike Denbee, 6 Adam Balding, 5 Kirill Kulemin, 4 Jonathan Mills (c), 3 Arthur Joly, 2 Neil Briggs, 1 Frank Montanella.
Replacements: 16 Greg Bateman, 17 Tom Bristow, 18 James Tideswell, 19 Matt Corker, 20 Alfie To'oala, 21 Nick Runciman, 22 Alex Davies, 23. Tom Voyce.

Scarlets have given Jon Davies a rest for this week's clash with the Dragons and replaced him with fellow international Scott Williams.
Scarlets have given Jonathan Davies a rest for this week's clash with the Dragons and replaced him at centre with fellow Wales back Scott Williams.
Davies is given some time off the field ahead of the Heineken Cup following significant minutes for his region in the opening weeks of the PRO12.
Therefore Williams comes in alongside Gareth Maule while other changes see George North returning on the wing after a rest last week, with Aled Thomas getting his opportunity to start at fly-half, with Rhys Priestland named on the bench.
"There's plenty in this game for supporters, players and coaches alike; of course I have an understanding of how the Dragons are likely to approach this game and vice-versa they will know how I'll be preparing the Scarlets boys," said forwards coach Danny Wilson ahead of the game.
"We will need a big chunk of attitude on Friday night, we've been working hard this week on our game and know we have to really turn up and perform as there will be some real threats across the field from the Dragons who will be confident after their win against Edinburgh.
"It's a home game and our passionate and loyal support deserve us to deliver this time – the players were hurting after the Ospreys so I know they'll want to make amends on Friday."
Meanwhile, Dragons captain Lewis Evans will make the switch to blindside flanker this week, as new recruit Nic Cudd makes his debut at openside against his former team.
The Men of Gwent, who are travelling west for their away match, have no other changes from the successful team who faced Edinburgh in the RaboDirect PRO12 last week.
Form: Scarlets made a great start to the RaboDirect PRO12 season, winning their first three games, however they have now tripped up to successive losses, at home to Ospreys and away at Treviso. Scarlets have not lost consecutive home games at Parc y Scarlets in the tournament since December 2009. Dragons got back to winning ways following three successive defeats in overcoming Edinburgh 32-12 at Rodney Parade on Friday. Dragons have lost their last three away games and have beaten a fellow Welsh region just once on their own turf since 2007: 21-16 over Ospreys at Liberty Stadium on 30 October 2010. Scarlets have won their last eight fixtures with the Men from Gwent in the tournament since Dragons won 15-13 at Rodney Parade on New Year's Day 2008. Dragons only previous win on Scarlets soil in the competition came at the old Stradey Park on 1 September 2007.
The teams:
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Gareth Maule, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Aled Thomas, 9 Tavis Knoyle, 8 Rob McCusker (capt), 7 Josh Turnbull, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Snyman, 4 Sione Timani, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Shaun Hopkins, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Richard Kelly, 20 Kieran Murphy, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Rhys Priestland, 23 Morgan Stoddart.
Dragons: 15 Dan Evans, 14 Adam Hughes, 13 Pat Leach, 12 Andy Tuilagi, 11 Tom Prydie, 10 Steffan Jones, 9 Jonathan Evans, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Nic Cudd, 6 Lewis Evans (capt), 5 Adam Jones, 4 Ian Nimmo, 3 Dan Way, 2 Steve Jones, 1 Phil Price.
Replacements: 16 Hugh Gustafson, 17 Aaron Coundley, 18 Nathan Buck, 19 Jevon Groves, 20 Tom Brown, 21 Liam Davies, 22 Ashley Smith, 23 Will Harries.
Date: Friday, October 5

Setting up a standalone WebLogic 12c install for ADF Without a Database
By Duncan Mills-Oracle on Jul 22, 2013
One change that many folks have encountered with the 12c (12.1.2) release of WebLogic and ADF concerns the setup of stand-alone WebLogic instances extended with JRF for ADF Application deployment.
The main problem comes when creating the JRF extended domain. On page 6 of the config process screen you are confronted by the following:
Note here that you need to provide information for the database that OPSS should use.
Now this connection has a real purpose, the Oracle Platform security infrastructure for 12c needs to store it's information within a proper database so as to correctly (and supportably) manage itself across multiple servers in a cluster. However, if like me, you just wanted to stand up a single unclustered ADF enabled WebLogic for testing deployments etc. This could be a bit of a pain, particularly in my case as the database version I'm currently running is not of the correct version. So here I'm documenting the steps for avoiding this requirement on a single standalone server, although I stress, as far as I am aware, this is not a supported configuration for production usage.
The Steps to Install Without Needing a Database
- First of all install WebLogic (wls_121200.jar) and the ADF runtime (fmw_infra_121200.jar) into the same 12c Oracle Home using their respective installers. At the end of each of the WebLogic install make sure you uncheck the Configuration Wizard launch option as we'll be doing that manually later.
- Start a shell / command prompt in $MW_HOME/wlserver/common/bin
- Set the environment variable QS_TEMPLATES to point to $MW_HOME/wlserver/common/templates/wls/wls_jrf.jar
- Run qs_config.sh and define the name of the domain that you want to create (e.g. add_domain) along with the usual WebLogic passwords and ports that you require. Finish the Quick Start wizard without starting the new domain.
- Now run the conventional config.sh and on the first page choose "Update an Existing Domain" rather than "Create a new domain". The new domain (e.g. adf_domain) should now be listed for selection.
- On the second screen choose the templates that you wish to apply, e.g. Oracle JRF, Oracle Enterprise Manager etc. and move on through the wizard.
- On the Database Configuration Type screen this time you will see an extra option where Embedded Database (JavaDB) is offered and pre-selected. Select that and continue with the domain setup as usual with whatever managed servers you need.
Again to re-iterate this is only a setup that I would recommend for a development / testing environment and of course you should not take this approach if you're setting up any kind of clustered environment, even for testing, as the shared database has a real purpose in that case. Also consider that if your application uses MDS then you'll most likely need an database repository anyway, so again, in that instance don't use this technique.
The fact that the normal install for the ADF Web Runtime does not offer this non-database option should be taken a a strong hint as to how supported you will be running with this configuration in a production environment. Don't ask me for certification or support guidance, please contact Oracle Support for that information.
Further Reading
The use of an external RDBMS Security Store for WebLogic (the configuration that this article bypasses) is discussed in the WebLogic Documentation:
- Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server --> Chapter 9: Managing the RDBMS Security Store
Read that chapter for a better understanding of why the default JRF install asks you to define a database connection for this purpose and why I talk about only using the technique that I've outlined here for development purposes.

The infamous trio along with momager Kris are at it again and this time they aren't quite aiming for our viewership, instead they've venture into a world unknown, they've turned to our nails. Yes that's right Kim, Kourtney and Khloe have all gotten their nail technician license and plan to open up a salon near you… Okay, Okay, we're just pulling your leg. In complete honesty, the audacious and ever thriving Kardashians have joined forces with Nicole by OPI (the avant garde of nail polish) to create some seriously kool lacquer for your nails. The lacquers themselves—a variety of pinks, reds, blues, and, of course, some sparkles— aren't necessarily mind blowing but we do enjoy the quirky names such as "Khlo? Had A Little Lam-Lam" and Kourt Is Red-y For A Pedi" (how very Kunning and Kreative of them!) We especially fell in love with denim inspired hue "Listen to your Momager" which is a clear indication of how much the trio respect their Mom– ager. We think this line will be a successful business venture to add to their scroll of accomplishments and with so many K-adjectives how kan we not kare. Kardashian Kolors hits stores this December.

Kane recalled by Tottenham
Tottenham have recalled striker Harry Kane from his season-long loan at Norwich.

18. Harry Kane
|29 (1)
Kane moved to Carrow Road in August but made only two appearances before breaking a metatarsal bone in the Capital One Cup tie against Doncaster.
The 19-year-old underwent his rehabilitation at Tottenham but returned to action for Norwich on December 29.
However, with Spurs having been unable to add to their attacking options during the January transfer window, they have opted to recall Kane four months early.
Norwich manager Chris Hughton told a press conference: "Spurs have recalled Harry Kane from his loan with us. He was unlucky with the injury. We would have liked to keep him, but wish him well."
As Tottenham only have two recognised strikers in Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor, Kane's recall gives Andre Villas-Boas more options in attack.
"It was in both teams' interests and the player's interests too, to be fair," the Tottenham manager said.
"Norwich have moved on and have found a striker so they didn't have the necessity to hold on to Harry and for us it gives us another option that has come through our youth level so it's a common decision."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

During the 1930s Alex and Annie operated a small grocery shop in their home on Armstrong St. In the depths of the depression my father, who was a railroader, got very little work and we were often short of cash. At those times our credit was good and we could always get the essentials at the Morans. There were lots of card games and visits to and fro. Uncle Alex was also a fiddle player and he and Aunt Em Delaney played for dancing and entertainment.
— Emmett Patrick Sloan, Memories of the Morans (2007)
Ancestry.ca has an extremely useful database of voters lists: "Canada, Voters Lists, 1935-1980." These lists can be used as a census substitute of sorts, although of course they only include adult citizens (age 21 and over until 1970, at which point the voting age was lowered to 18). They can help to discover and/or verify addresses, and they may also provide some useful information on occupations.
But as with the Canadian census (and the US federal census, for that matter, and the UK census too), these voters lists tend to erase evidence of occupation for married women. Well, perhaps "erase" is too strong a term? it suggests an act of commission, when what we are dealing with, arguably, is an act of omission.
My great-grandparents Alex (Alexander Michael) and Annie (Anna Maria Benton) Moran had a grocery store, a small "mom-and-pop" operation at the front of their house on Armstrong St. Here they are in the 1935 List of Electors (Victoria Ward, City of Ottawa), with my grandparents Allan Jerome Moran and Mary Catherine Lahey (here listed as Mrs Allan [W] [= Wife], married woman) listed just below:
Notice how Alex and Annie's "mom-and-pop" operation has become a "pop" operation in this document: Moran, Alexander is listed as a "grocery store proprietor," while his wife Annie (Mrs Alexander, [W] [= Wife]) is given the occupational designation of "married woman."

February 5, 2013
Springfield— President and Chief Executive Officer of the Illinois Community College Board Geoffrey Obrzut has announced his plans to retire from that position on June 30, 2013. Obrzut was first appointed by the Board as President/CEO in January, 2004.
"I am grateful for the time I have spent leading the Illinois community college system," said Obrzut. "It has been a privilege to work with the excellent staff at the ICCB and I want to thank them for their professionalism and their dedication to the service they provide to the state and the community colleges."
"I also want to convey my heartfelt gratitude for the support I have received over the years from the Board and from the Illinois Community College Trustees Association and the Presidents Council," said Obrzut. "It has been crucial to maintaining a strong and united system. No state surpasses the quality of education and the dedication to students and their communities that we find with Illinois community colleges."
Under Obrzut's leadership, the ICCB has undertaken a Homeland Security and Campus Safety Initiative, advocated for additional resources for adult education and family literacy, and completed comprehensive reports on textbook costs, baccalaureate degree access, and funding of Illinois Veterans and National Guard grants.
"Geoff has been a true public servant and champion for the Illinois community colleges and the Illinois Community College Board. His passion, commitment and leadership will truly be missed," said ICCB Chair Alexi Giannoulias. "Geoff is a good friend and I am sad to see him go, but am excited to see what the future holds for him."
"Geoff has served the Illinois Community College System with integrity and has led the system in some of the most financial and political turbulent times in Illinois history," said former ICCB Chair Guy Alongi. "I wish Geoff well in his retirement and will always consider him a dear and personal friend."
"The Illinois Community College System owes Geoff a great deal of gratitude for his service over the past nine and a half years," Alongi said.
Obrzut has served citizens of the State of Illinois in government for more than 30 years. His background includes serving as a State Representative for the 52nd District in the Illinois General Assembly, where he represented both Triton College and Oakton Community College in his district. He had been elected to the Triton College Board of Trustees in River Grove and served on the board from 1981-1987.
Obrzut's achievements include his service as a past officer and Chairman of the State Relations Committee of the Illinois Community College Trustees Association. He was awarded the Illinois Community College Trustees Association "Outstanding Alumnus of the Year" award in 1986 and the Illinois Student Association "Outstanding Service Award" in 1992. Obrzut also served as Chairman of the National Council of State Directors of Community Colleges from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
Obrzut also initiated the formation of the ICCB Latino Advisory Committee in March 2008. The committee, composed of statewide advocates on Latino educational issues, members of our community colleges, and representatives from partner agencies, has helped inform the Illinois community college system on student needs, educational best practices, and legislation that affects the Latino student population.
Prior to coming to the Illinois Community College Board, Obrzut was the Director of the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities.
Obrzut received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Springfield in Political Science and graduated from Triton College in River Grove. He graduated from West Leyden High School (class of 1970). While at West Leyden and at Triton, Obrzut was very active in the environmental movement, founding a group called SOAP (Students Organized Against Pollution). He also played competitive sports, serving as the captain of his high school and college basketball teams.
"This is a true retirement and I plan to spend a lot of time fishing at my cabin in northeast Wisconsin and golfing in South Carolina," Obrzut said.
The ICCB is the state coordinating board for community colleges. Illinois is home to 48 community colleges in 39 districts and has the third largest community college system enrollment in the nation.

I've been thinking about this post on Everything2.com a lot lately. It's one of those things that, from the moment I read it, stayed lodged in my head and would occasionally rear up and present itself. I lost track of it for ages and have spent hours and hours looking for it in the last few days, desperate to read the exact words. Turns out that I had a copy saved on my hard drive the entire time. Heh. Thought I'd put it up on here just so I wouldn't have to do all that again.
Just remember that for every thought that you have had, you've lost a thousand others. Nothing that you can possibly dream of will ever be better than the least thing you manage to accomplish. There is no such thing as failure, since there is no such thing as success. There is no perfection. There is no shining light. There is no place for you. We are all essentially very much alone in a sea of other lonely souls. We cannot touch. We can only pretend to have tenuous points of contact. We can only imagine what it means to be in touch with another. There is no truth to this, unless you accept the truth that there is no truth.
What you do today will be a logical extension of what you did yesterday. Multiply this by every single person you know, then by every person they know. And so on. Continue until you realize that there is no such thing as happenstance. Every single thing that happens is caused by all that came before it. History is simply an approach to critical mass, when nothing else can happen. There just will not be enough room for anything else to happen. What then? Well, nothing, naturally. We probably wouldn't even notice.
But don't worry, because there is (you see this coming) nothing to worry about. If you wanted to worry about something, you should have had the foresight to change clothes yesterday (which would affect today). Everything is connected and yet people are so far apart.

In other news, the first official Custom PC and bit-tech Gaming Podcast should be going up in a few days. I hosted and edited and drafted the agenda and everything, with a little (OK, a lot) of help from CPC Editor Alex Watson. Alex is pretty cool, and cooler still for helping me out. He also, through the podcast, introduced me to Brad Sucks – the musician who provide the jingle music for the podcast. Turns out all of his music is free to listen to, so give it an ear on Spotify.
GamesCom Cologne is coming soon too. Nervous as hell about that, to be honest. I'm distracting myself with frustration about how Throne of Bhaal still hasn't turned up. Fucking Amazon Marketplace.
Joe, Out.

Well, i scanned two old drawings of mine
Click Here to Enlarge
Click Here To Enlarge
New Drawing
Click Here To Enlarge
Man...i procrastinated so much on this one..lol Mainly because i left a small part blank for a while because I didn't know what to add(Now it's the pile of skulls with a Vulture standing over them).
I got inspiring from this from Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell album. It also symbolizes me because i used to be really into Christianity, but then around the age of 12, i just gave up. So i wanted to draw something that would really represent me. The skull behind the Angel symbolizes well, death of course, and reason i made it look like her head is going to be eaten is because it represents that time is coming, which is why her "head hasn't been eaten". The lightning is because even though I'm not a Christian or have any sort of religious, I think that if there was a God, he would be mad at me lol. The dead tree is just adding symbolism to me not believing in Christianity, the snake is the evil trying to tempt me, which works.lol The bright, alive, and tasty looking apple represents that I still feel like i do believe in something, but..i don't know what to believe. lol. Crows are there to make it look awesome, and make it look darker. The Vulture, same thing.lol He's there opening his mouth cause he's hungry lol I don't know. Any who, yeah...Added a piece here n there cause my main goal was to draw something that would be in the field of Graffiti but also make an actual image out of it, not just a piece and that's all. I think i did sort of well for my first attempt, right? lol
This was drawn and inked over with:
Prisma Color pens (005, 01, 03, 05, 08)

EDIT: I just noticed...the fucking scanner didn't scan the vulture's head...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ambassador Tupouniua's visit coincides with the United States premiere of the documentary film "Tongan Ark," which will be screened in the DSU Dolores Dore Eccles Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m. The Ambassador and other invited guests, including the film's director Paul Janman, and students and directors from Tonga's Atenisi University, will also be taking part in a private dinner event prior to the screening.
"Our DOCUTAH guests have spanned the globe," said DSU Vice President of Institutional Advancement and DOCUTAH Executive Director Christina Schultz. "We are thrilled to host Ambassador Tupouniua and other dignitaries on campus and we are excited to premiere 'Tongan Ark' at this year's festival."
"Tongan Ark" uses a blend of ancient philosophy, opera and Tongan culture to tell an intimate tale of a teacher, his school and his people as they navigate a sea of repression and doubt in a small but troubled Pacific island kingdom.

Mike Tindall will captain Gloucester as they continue their Aviva Premiership campaign, with London Irish the visitors on Saturday.
Mike Tindall will captain Gloucester as they continue their Aviva Premiership campaign, with London Irish the visitors on Saturday.
Tindall takes over the captaincy from Jim Hamilton, who is sidelined with a finger injury. Tom Savage replaces Hamilton in the second row.
Other changes from the team that started at Leicester Tigers last weekend see Rob Cook return after recovering from a stomach bug, and Dan Murphy come in for Nick Wood at loose head prop.
Saturday's game will be the third time that the two teams have met in five weeks, and the fourth time they've squared off in all competitions so far this season.
Gloucester have won all three meetings to date, but Director of Rugby Nigel Davies insisted this week that there will be absolutely no room for complacency.
"It's a very important game for us, and a very important game for them as well for different reasons," said Davies.
"London Irish can be dangerous, they're very unpredictable and always have that ability to hurt teams. We have to be mindful of that and respect that. If you're loose and give them half chances, then they will take advantage.
Meanwhile, London Irish will be bolstered this weekend by the return of Alex Corbisiero to the starting lineup for the Aviva Premiership match against Gloucester at Kingsholm.
The England International will join Halani Aulika and David Paice in the front row with George Skivington partnering Bryn Evans in the second row, with the All Black captaining the side. Matt Garvey moves to the back row to join Canadian International, Jebb Sinclair and Chris Hala'ufia.
New signing Pat Phibbs will start at scrum-half and Steven Shingler and Sailosi Tagicakibau will form the centre combination. Jonathan Joseph moves to the wing.
"We've trained well this week and we're looking forward to the contest tomorrow," said London Irish Director of Rugby Brian Smith.
"Gloucester are a very good team and deserve to go into the match as favourites, however we are looking at the contest as an opportunity to claim a big scalp. There is some history between the two clubs in recent times and the boys are very aware of that."
Form: Gloucester's last seven encounters in the Aviva Premiership have all been won by the home side on the day, whilst Gloucester have won their last nine games at Kingsholm in all competitions since a Northampton victory there on the opening weekend of the season. London Irish have won just one game in any competition since October: 34-28 at home to Sale Sharks in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on 11 November. The Exiles most recent Premiership try was scored by Topsy Ojo 275 minutes ago against Exeter at Madejski Stadium. The two clubs have already met on three occasions this season with Gloucester victorious each time – once in the Premiership and twice in the European Challenge Cup. London Irish have not won at Kingsholm since a visit on 28 January 2006.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Mike Tindall (c), 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Shane Monahan, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Sione Kalamafoni, 5 Will James, 4 Tom Savage, 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Dan Murphy.
Replacements: 16 Darren Dawidiuk, 17 Nick Wood, 18 Dario Chistolini, 19 Peter Buxton, 20 Matt Cox, 21 Dan Robson, 22 Tim Molenaar, 23 Martyn Thomas.
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Jonathan Joseph, 13 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 12 Steve Shingler, 11 Marland Yarde, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Pat Phibbs, 8 Chris Hala'ufia, 7 Jebb Sinclair, 6 Matt Garvey, 5 Bryn Evans, 4 George Skivington, 3 Halani Aulika, 2 David Paice, 1 Alex Corbisiero.
Replacements: 16 Scott Lawson, 17 Max Lahiff, 18 Leo Halavatau, 19 Kieran Low, 20 Jamie Gibson, 21 Guy Armitage, 22 Shane Geraghty, 23 Darren Allinson.
Date: Saturday, January 5

Brief Synopsis
On March 18-19, 2004, in Seattle, Washington, the National Bureau of Asian Research, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, U.S. Army War College, Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Energy, Nuclear Threat Initiative, and the Ploughshares Fund co-sponsored a conference to explore the complex topics of nuclear proliferation, regional and global terrorism, and the state of nonproliferation regimes in Asia. The conference drew representatives from government, academe, and nonprofit research institutions from the United States and Asia. This event was an opportunity for policymakers, security analysts, nuclear scientists and engineers, regional experts, and military planners to share perspectives and identify those issues requiring new solutions as the international community prepares for the 2005 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review.

text: The Formula Titanium Disc Brake Rotor Bolt Set is a terrific way to shed half the weight of the ordinary steel bolts. Okay, so we're talking 12 grams for the steel set, and now just six grams for the titanium version. But for some every gram counts, and we just knocked off twelve (pair of wheels). Not recommended for downhill use. One set contains 6 bolts -- enough for one wheel.

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Baxter!
I'm a fun and flirty six year old Bichon Frise, but I still look three. I love to leap, prance and play fetch.
But don't make weird sounds around me, I don't appreciate it.
I'm unmarried but I like to think of myself as a father of 17 babies, stuffed animal babies. I love stuffed
animals and the more the merrier. I try not to pick favorites, like any other father. Oh never mind, I love
you blue dolphin! My favorite pass time is playing fetch with my tennis ball. I'm really good at giving the
ball back to my mom.
My second favorite pass time is hanging out with my dearest friend Kitty. I love to chase her around the
yard and lick her face. Sometimes she runs her claws through my luscious curly hair, I'm still not sure
why she hisses while she does it but I really enjoy it.
I also enjoy walking with my mom and getting groomed. That Cesar dog food pooch doesn't have
anything on this snout.
My dislikes are.... unhappy people. They really get me down. But not for long because I'm always happy.

The man who never looked up
I do this thing all the time, when passing through places I'm unaware I've been before, when I suddenly stop what I am doing, look up and down a stretch of road, and say to whomever I am with, 'I have raced my bike down here.'
It happens all the time, all over the world, and I imagine if you spend a lot of time with me it must get pretty boring. I raced internationally for nearly twenty years, and when you think about it, that is a lot of hills, a lot of corners, and a lot of tarmac. I still recognize them, more often than not, as if the intense focus that I put into my racing career burned these stretches of road like scars in my mind.
But the strange thing about it isn't so much that the roads are so familiar, it is the fact that everything else surrounding the roads – the locations, the names of the towns, the villages, the views don't even exist in my mind. I am the man who never looked up, or around, or anywhere but at the road ahead.
Then there was the Rapha Continental, in Yorkshire.
Come and ride in Yorkshire, they said. We'll explore: the Howardian Hills, the North York Moors, and the Yorkshire Dales. It would be a first for me, but exploring on a bicycle isn't something that comes naturally to a bike racer, former or not. It is a skill that has to be learned, like patience or golf. Like many bike racers, I've always looked at riding a bike in the same way that I would go about robbing a bank: get in, get the job done, get out as quickly as possible and change out of your disguise.
But the Continental, I figured, was about more than the bike. It was about a journey and a place. It was about learning and seeing something new.
Now, I could tell you the names of a hundred good bike riders from Yorkshire, and there would be a hundred more that I've missed out. I could tell you that I've raced there countless times: the Ryedale GP, Richmond GP, East Yorkshire Classic, and so on and so forth.
A cursory pre-ride glance at our route for the Continental sprang up a few town names that I remembered. But what did Yorkshire even look like? How was I to know? In my racing days my eyes had been fixed on those low horizons: the wheel in front, the next bend, the crest of the hill.
On the first day of the Continental we rolled clear of York and crossed over the undulating hills of the Wolds. As we did Gem told me about her trip to Sochi for the winter Olympics, and I was fascinated because I've never been to an Olympics, and I've never been to Russia. I am amazed by other people's jobs. I've only ever done mine, you see.
It struck me that I'd met Gem quite a few times now, on various Rapha photo shoots, but having never ridden together we'd never really spoken that much. You learn a lot about someone when you're both sat in the saddle next to each other all day, and in my companions there was so much to start to learn. Tom Donhou, it turned out, has ridden across the Gobi desert on a mountain bike he'd found beside a skip.
In time the gentle climbs of the Wolds gave way to the twisting routes through the Howardian hills. I felt hidden there, tucked away in the quiet lanes and high hedgerows, safe and happy on a bike and in conversation. Our meandering route eventually took us past Ampleforth Abbey to the foot of the White Horse. The climb up, our last of the first day, that took us past a giant artificially whitened horse, cut into the limestone in 1857 by a Victorian philanthropist, granted us a spectacular view over the Vale of York.
On the second day we passed through Bedale, a town whose name I suddenly recognized. My great-grandfather was the master of the Bedale hunt. I have a picture of him and his pack hounds of hounds, every one of them (amazingly) looking right into the camera, on my wall at home. I have looked at that picture for hours, and yet never once thought about where Bedale actually was.
The realisation prompted a phone call to my mother at the next stop.
—"I didn't know that your side of the family was from Yorkshire."
—"Yes, your grandmother was from Northallerton."
We'd passed through Northallerton that morning. Yorkshire I discovered is in my DNA. The Continental wasn't just teaching me about Yorkshire; it was teaching me about myself.
Close to the end of the second day of the Continental – this thing that I was learning to be a part of, that was about cycling, and talking and looking around, and learning about places you might have been but never really seen – as we climbed toward the summit of Trapping Hill, and I felt the full weight of the air we'd ridden into, cool and heavy, the heat from earlier in the afternoon long gone, leaving us the vacuum that is an evening chill, Ricky pointed to the left.
—"That's a curlew. They nest on the ground."
It was. It does.
But, who'd ever looked at a bird on their bike before?
I looked over and watched, perhaps for the first time in my life, the territorial flight pattern of a curlew as it circled its breeding grounds, listening properly to its bubbling call.
"You can see skylarks up here, too sometimes," James chipped in. "You see the way they take off, they just go up vertically."
I was amazed suddenly by just how distinct the curlew's long bill is and how many birds there seemed to be, the massive expanse of sky seemed filled with birdlife. It was then I looked back up the road and noticed my companions had eased away. I'd stopped pedaling. Stopped my constant physical quest for forward motion, and instead I'd been looking at something.
By the third day my eyes had left the road completely. As we passed through dry-stone walls and climbed up on to the Yorkshire Dales to reach the summit of Malham Rakes, the sheer scale of it all took me aback. We were high up enough for the sky to be seemingly within touching distance and yet the peaks still towered up even higher still in the distance. The famous Three Peaks themselves were all in view: Whernside, Ingelborough and Pen-Y-Ghent.
As the sun tried but failed to make its way through the indecisive cloud, we passed a lonely ice-cream van, parked next to a cattle grid.
"Imagine this place in the winter." Tom said, and I tried not to.
At the Crown Inn in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, where we ate another pub lunch (and James impressed me by drinking a mid-ride pint) I noticed that there was a plaque with all of the winners of the Three Peaks running race on the wall. Walkers filled the pub, drifting in and out of the garden, and made me enjoy the activity that these hills encourage.
As we pushed on toward our final destination, we climbed out of Settle and up over High Hill. There is no hiding out on these hills; underneath a sign that reads 20%, Tom noticed a pile of vomit, left behind, we figured by a rider who could learn a thing or two about pacing themselves.
On the other side of the descent when we stopped to regroup and refuel, a gentleman appeared out of his house and asked with a smile if we were lost. I love that being friendly is one of the things that Yorkshire people seem so proud to be. We told him no, and I could almost sense his disappointment that he can't help in some way.
Yorkshire, after all, is a hotbed of cycling. We were just outside Gargrave, which even I know is one of the more important places in the eyes of the Yorkshire cycling community. The town sits right on the edge of the Dales, and is where the local bunch rides used to meet and still finish to this day. Alongside the quiet river that runs through the town, sits the memorial to British professional Dave Rayner, who died in tragic circumstances at just 27 years of age, 20 years ago. It seemed fitting to me to pass through here on our exploration of the county.
We finally arrived in the magnificent surrounds of Broughton Hall, our final destination for the three days of riding. I sat for a while in a room full of volumes of books, which staggeringly date back to the 14th century, and realised that the Continental hadn't, in fact, taken me anywhere new at all in a geographical sense.
The UK is a small country, and during the three days I had been doing that thing I do when I would see a road I'd raced on, and felt compelled to tell my companions that I had raced my bike there before. I saw the races that I'd done as we'd crisscrossed the roads of another life. A life determined by results, and by the racing that I thought was the answer to the questions inside myself.
But this time I had been travelling a very different path. I could see the curlews now, and the skylarks, and at so many stages of my trip across Yorkshire I'd felt that I could see for miles and miles and miles. Miles of sky, miles of limestone hills and views that I'd passed before but had never really seen. Yorkshire, once just a world of tough competition and gritty racing, became a place in whose magnitude I lost myself.
Surroundings change, terrain can vary, but the thing I found in Yorkshire and through the Continental, was that it isn't just our surroundings, but at times it is the way we see them that makes them special, and that it is the way we choose to look at things is what makes us who we are.

Beautiful Sandal
"This is a beautiful sandal. The first day I wore them I got compliments. The stones are stunning. I was a little worried about how secure the stones would be, but they seem to be secure. I felt that the sandal was a little wide for my foot, but my feet are narrow. They were still comfortable. I would recommend them."
