This rustic public park is located about four or so country miles off of US 49. Well marked on US 49, smaller signs lead to the park. Roads are narrow and some turns can be sharp, thus my questionable review on big rig access. However, there is little traffic, and there were 5ths in the park. We arrived late, set up in the dark. Morning light revealed an open lawn pine tree setting near a lake. Apparently, all sites are FHU. Utilities were fine. PVC sewer connects come out of the ground at a 30 degree angle, making the connect with the hose at risk of causing a spill. Site pads were chopped up by a ditch witch when electrical was upgraded, leaving unpaved trenches across the pad. Not all sites were level by any means, some had steep dropoffs to the picnic table. Primitive dump station was a PVC pipe, a screw on cap, and a potable hose connect about 20 feet away with no hose, all on bare ground. Never saw that before. Bath house doors propped open all night with the lights on, which attracted a large number of mid-summer insects, thus the unclean bathroom rating. Small, insignificant swing set for kids. An off road bicycle trail is available. CSpire phone was 4 bar 3G. DTV scanning picked up 40 channels. Manager was met at the entry gate in the morning, friendly fellow. Only 5 campers in the park, including us. Appears to be primarily a weekend local fishing spot. Overall, a very rustic feel with some significant site upgrades needed to the pavement and leveling. The high ratings by previous reviewers drew us to the park, but I can rank this CG barely average with a 4 compared to other high scoring locations. This is no 8-10. When in the area again, we would opt for someplace else, probably over to Bassfield. - The Happy Traveler

This park is five miles off of 49. It is very quiet and peaceful with 28 sites. They have just finished up grading the electrical system. Lots of trees and plenty of space between sites. The pads are blacktop, some do need attention. They are in the middle of adding more sewer hook ups, so all most all site now have this. The road in can be narrow at times, but passable. The park people we dealt with were first class. This park is not used a lot, seems lost to the traveling RV'er. We were here this Labor day week end and there were only three of us in the entire park. The bad is we had no cell service, but that was good in a way. We will be back. Should have wonderful fall colors and spring colors here. - Frank Henn

We loved this quiet, rural County (or State, not sure which) Park. The price quoted was based on Passport America rate. This park also had laundry facilities, which is rare in municipal parks (we've found). Lovely walking trails and a lovely huge large. The only negative was we were not able to get satellite reception because of all the gorgeous trees. We would most definitely return here. - tpw0607

We returned to this campground so we could ride our trikes on the Longleaf Trace. Not much has changed since our last visit, except that the pleasant and helpful owner and his son are now raising goats, so campers can expect to see plenty of goats, horses, miniature horses, and a braying donkey. Unless one is animal-phobic, they are a lot of fun; bring old bread for treats. The beagles have moved down the road. The sites are tight and a couple of them were damp after the recent rains. We have not seen another camper when we were there, and odds are you would be the only one when visiting. FHU included in rate shown. Some of the cable TV wires have pulled out of their jacks, so there was no cable but OTA reception was good. Good cell and data coverage. Any time we're in the area and want to ride the trace, we'll stay here. - Jay Rutherford

A small private campground providing stable services for equestrian activities and bicycling along the 46 mile long Longleaf Trace Rail Trail. Owner is quite friendly and knowledgeable about the area and Longleaf Trace. Campground consists of five sites dedicated to RVing, and four sites for tents. Each of the five RV sites is FHU. Utilities worked fine. RV sites are grassy and tent sites are gravel. We had to use one set of levelers on the utility side of the camper. Access is snug in sites 3-5 due to small back-in turning radii. I believe a large trailer, fifth wheeler, and motor home could maneuver only into site 1 or site 2. Owner said he rarely gets more than three RVs at a time. Quiet. About two blocks off of MS 52. There are some friendly horses there, but if you are a kid and not bicycling with parents on the Trace, there is really nothing to do. There was a healthy population of non-biting black ants. A scout had found its way in by the next afternoon. Check-out time was whenever, in other words, enjoy life. Cash only. CSpire phone service was 5 bars and 3G. DTV had all five networks and independents, excellent over the air signals. CATV connect was on the water post, but it had no signal. No Wi-Fi, so we used our phones. For bicycling, the Longleaf Trace is one of the nicest trails in the South. We rode from Bassfield to Prentiss and back in July! Lots of water stops on the Trace. We would definitely return to this campground to serve as a base camp for riding the remainder of the Trace. - The Happy Traveler

We stayed here for two nights so I could ride my bicycle on the Longleaf Trace, a 41 mile, paved, world class bike trail. The owner is on the board of the trace and was very friendly and helpful. There are 5 back-in sites on a horse farm with full hookups including cable. Electric service is 20, 30, and 50 amp. There are 4 other sites with water and 20 amp electric, plus tent sites on the property. There are horses nearby plus a bunch of beagles that, when set off, raise an amazing cacophony. The rate for full hookups was $22.50 per night. Narrow streets might dissuade large rigs from staying here. Bassfield is a tiny community with one restaurant and one fast food place. We found the location particularly good for the trace and would definitely stay here again if in the area. - Jay Rutherford

Shady, by the lake and quiet if you stay in the first loop 1-27 away from the boaters and jet skiers. Good showers, but the toilets have no seats - part of the design of the toilet-weird. - Traveler John

This park is one of a number in the Pat Harrison Water Park system. The park offers full services and has large sites with either paved or concrete pads as well as fire pits and barbecue stands. They offer PA reductions on certain days as well as senior discounts. A nice quite getaway. We would stay again if in the area. - lrp374

Paid Passport America rate of $8.25 for first 3 nights and $15 (senior) for 4th night. Park has two RV areas and is part of the Pat Harrison Water District which runs about 9 "water parks". The sites with the higher numbers has been recently updated, all new pavement, sites and roads. 50 amp service with sewer. Nice quiet park very much like a COE park, big roomy sites with plenty of space between them. The only one downfall we had was a bunch of small ants that must have gotten disturbed. They were all over the RV and we did not have ant spray with us. Other than that we had a good time. - Bob and Inga

We pulled off of US 49 and followed the signs to this campground. It was fully occupied by what looks to be long-term permanent RVers. Not a site available on a Thursday night for travelers. There were two loops. The first loop was a graveled circular driveway, numerous potholes, multiple autos/trucks in front of many RVs, all back-in sites. The second part of the CG was about 500 feet further, with numerous hookups lined along a ball park paved parking lot, again with many long-term camping signs. Park itself was pretty, and obviously is a recreational center of activity for the community. But the RV park appears to be government supplied residential RV sites for locals. We would not return again. - The Happy Traveler

Nice quiet park. Owners are exceptionally nice. Go out of there way to help you. Pretty ponds. Nice sites. Very quiet. Was traveling through for only one night was a little out of our way, but was worth it. - Beverly McConnell
Jan 2016 - $26.00
PROS - The ponds make a nice setting. The clubhouse in its day must have been really nice, love the large stone fireplace.
CONS - Older campground in need of repairs. Dirt roads dusty with a lot of potholes, low water pressure we only had 35 psi, filled our water tank and ran with the water pump. No cable, but they will rent you a Dish, no Wi-Fi. On the site we had the 50 amp and the voltage was too high and would trip our surge protector so we ran on propane.
WOULD WE STAY HERE AGAIN? No - Traveler II
Oct 2015 - $14.00
About two mile drive from highway to park on a narrow road, final part of drive was very dusty, this means it could be muddy after a rain. With that said, PA rate of 14.00 was a good deal, staff was friendly, sites were grass/gravel and fairly level. We did not use any of their facilities. Their utilities were good and wifi was ok. A good place for an overnight stay. - jlc

When Did Zab Judah Become a Cagey Veteran?
By Cliff Rold
Saturday night, former Undisputed Welterweight champion Zab Judah (40-6, 27 KO) will attempt to capture the vacant IBF Jr. Welterweight title, squared off with 31-year old Kaizer Mabuza (23-6-3, 14 KO). Judah pulled off the feat once before, the IBF's 140 lb. belt being the first major title he won as a professional.
It was February 12, 2000. The opponent was (Trivial Pursuit time) South Africa's Jan Bergman. Bergman, despite being down twice in the first, provided a snapshot of the turbulence to come, dropping Judah in the second before being run over in round four.
The knockdown was mostly overlooked then. Judah was still a star of the future, a "Pernell Whitaker with power."
Judah was still fresh. He hadn't gone through the roller coaster ride yet. Those who watched his career, whether jeering or cheering, hadn't gone along for the ride.
The low of the 2nd round Kostya Tszyu Jr. Welterweight unification loss in 2001…
The high of the rematch knockout of Cory Spinks in 2005 for the Welterweight crown…
A shocking upset loss for the crown to journeyman Carlos Baldomir…
Big events with Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto.
In regular human terms, Judah is still young of course. It is the boxing terms that matter here. In boxing, the Judah who enters the ring this weekend is anything but the fresh faced, hyper talent of over a decade ago.
Zab Judah is 33 years old.
After all the ups and downs, Judah has reached the point where he can be described as a seasoned, cagey even, veteran.
When the hell did that happen?
A professional since September 1996, Judah has been around almost fifteen years now.
No, really.
It's been that long.
That doesn't include the years for those who knew his name before he entered the paid ranks. Talent gets its attentions. He's been a steady figure, for better and worse, on the fistic landscape for all these years and it's odd because it doesn't feel long at all. Maybe it's the narrative about varying levels of maturity and immaturity attached to Judah, fairly and unfairly, that make it hard to see Judah as aging, as closer to the end of his time as a relevant pro.
But, odds are, he is.
That doesn't mean he's done yet. Judah showed his evolution into a new role his last time out. In November 2011, matched with undefeated banger Lucas Matthysse, Judah boxed well early only to hit the deck in round ten. Steadying the ship, steadying himself, Judah boxed smart enough in the last two rounds to hang on for a split decision win.
It was his fourth win in a row since a technical decision loss for a Welterweight belt in 2008 versus Joshua Clottey. Against Mabuza this weekend, Judah faces a fighter better than his record. Mabuza has won eight straight, and laid the leather to former 140 lb. titlist Kendall Holt his last time out for a stoppage.
It's a real fight. It's also an odd moment of full circling. How often has a fighter won a belt, moved up to win the whole enchilada, and then come back right to where he started over ten years later?
Nothing comes to mind.
It goes without saying that makes it even less often that they come back down the scale to an even better division than what they began in. Judah-Tszyu was a fairly easy fight to build to on paper in the early 00's because it was so obvious that they were the class of their Jr. Welterweight class.
It's not the case today. Sure, Timothy Bradley and Amir Khan have begun to separate from the crowded and talented current pack at Jr. Welterweight, but the depth around them means no one gets a night off. Men like Marcos Maidana, Andriy Kotelnik, Devon Alexander provide a strong supporting cast.
If Judah can win this weekend, if he can grab the only belt of gate value not attached to Bradley (WBC/WBO) and Khan (WBA), his homecoming to Jr. Welterweight is complete and, in some sense, the picture of the division is completed as well. Overflowing with young, hungry talent (Kotelnik is the rare veteran), Jr. Welterweight has lacked for the big name veteran who can still go.
As was in evidence versus Matthysse, Judah still has hand speed, still has his legs. He's always had pop. All those rounds with almost all of the names that mattered near his weight, win and lose, provide a wealth of experience the Bradley's and Khan's are still acquiring. They make him a viable opponent for those young men on their way to places Judah has been and beyond.
He'll be the underdog should he get there. He probably doesn't get by most of these young guns. We know he already clipped one. Regardless, there is a winking piece of storytelling in a former can't miss blue chipper, Judah in particular, now positioning himself as the weathered spoiler.
If Judah is suddenly part of a 'older generation,' what does that make those who watched him through the parallel years of their lives?

Gotta' love Bantamweight…and Lightweight, Jr. Welterweight, and Super Middleweight, where the same thing is happening. Don't ever buy the lie that the best don't fight each other in boxing just because a couple prima donnas here and there can't get it together…Roy Jones is talking about Denis Lebedev? The Cruiserweight Denis Lebedev? What kind of delusional garbage is this? If Jones wants to continue, that's his business. The pox belongs on the house of any network that pays for this and any fan that buys a ticket…David Haye and Wladimir Klits…shhh, don't jinx it.

The West Coast will get plenty of looks at Katie Schneider's lacrosse skills next year, when she suits up for the Stanford women's team.
On Friday afternoon, Schneider settled for showing a team from suburban Washington what she could do, piling up six goals and two assists in Notre Dame's 12-9 nonleague victory over visiting Holton-Arms, from Bethesda, Md.
Kat Land made 13 saves for the Irish, and Caroline Allen and Madison Chermol added two goals each.
"We were thrilled to play a good team visiting from Maryland today," Notre Dame coach Erin Cleary Cook said.
"We've been inside so much of this preseason we just wanted to relax, control the tempo from the start, and have fun. Kat Land was amazing for us in goal."

The one job most of us do ourselves is paint.
For example, I repainted the walls along the staircase after nicking them with a Morris chair we move upstairs each winter so the Christmas tree has a spot in the living room.
I touched up a window frame here, a wall there, and plan to give the exterior of the house a fresh coat of paint in the spring - May is always a good month, although late September to early November is ideal.

I hope Skyward Sword was not canon, so that Zelda can go back to being superb.
mcsmellington 4 years ago#71
They were so finicky, i just couldn't be bothered to finish the game because of them. Every sword fight looked ridiculous with enemies dancing on the spot, blocking every attack with lightning fast reflexes. Flying the bird and the little bug thing with the motion control sucked too. I just don't enjoy motion controls, and hope they leave them out next time.
In fact, I'd be happy with the main game playable with the gamepad, then a 2nd player controlling a Navi style character with the pointer, to collect rupees or stuff.

While I wouldn't complain about the game being linear or casual, I do agree that th motion controls ruined it, for me anyway.
Wow, somebody was actually constructive in their criticism of Skyward Sword in this topic! :O Most of the enemies effortlessly blocking your every move was pretty ridiculous, and the bird wasn't too bad, IMO, but the beetle, ouch. My hand was always uncomfortable guiding that thing around accurately; the movements were so sluggish and floaty. It was the one item I really didn't like in SS. XD

Nintendo has not made a bad Zelda game, period. Have they made flawed Zelda games? sure. AOL is generally considered to be way to difficult, OoT had really repetitive puzzles imo (come at me, bros! ), TWW had that damned triforce quest, TP could have made better use of it's items outside of dungeons, and SS's controls had a bit of a learning curve to 'em that could turn off players... None of 'em are bad games though... Will you or anyone like every Zelda game ever? Probably not, but to outright claim that any of 'em are bad games is just as bad as me saying that, *insert FPS here* is a bad game simply 'cause FPSs ain't for me.

Man, it's as if a bunch of people didn't even try to figure out the controls in SS or something. Within the first hour, I'd gotten used to them just fine, and I had no problems with them from then on. You just have to remember that the remote's position when you first start aiming an item or go into first-person view is considered the neutral position. As long as you're pointing the remote at the TV before doing that, you'll never have any problems with the controls.
There's a bit of a learning curve, sure, but the controls are simple and really add to the fun if you just put in the effort to understand the system. Still, I understand that it just isn't for everyone, and that's fine. Just don't act like the game is terrible and sucks simply because you didn't care for it. There are lots of good games that I don't like for various reasons, but I still recognize them as being good.

I could tolerate motion controls in the name of Zelda, but that's just it. I had to tolerate them, and it felt like a chore to reward myself with the experiences. Looking at the Wii games I have on the shelf, the two Zeldas are the only ones that are motion-intensive. The rest all support classic controllers or holding the Wiimote sideways and playing it like a normal game...

Since Gov. Mike Pence was tapped as Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, he's been to Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona; Nevada, Manhattan, four days in Cleveland.
The national campaigning is just beginning, and he's been everywhere — but hasn't spent much time in Indiana.
The governor's office says Pence is in daily communication about state government issues and is available when needed. That matters because unlike some other states, no one becomes acting governor for Indiana when the governor is out of the state or in another country, not even Pence's lieutenant governor, who has designs on the top state office.

Condition or Covenant, and Why Should You Care?
Imagine that you write some code, and offer it to the public under an open source license that requires that if someone distributes modified versions of the code, the modified versions also be open sourced. Now assume someone distributes modified versions of your code, but fails to open source the modified code.
Do you have a claim for breach of contract? Or for copyright infringement? Or both? And why should anyone other than a law professor care?
Copyright law and contract law are very different. The things you need to prove to win a case are different. Copyright law is federal, while contract claims fall under state law, which varies from state to state. Copyright damages will often be more expansive than contract damages. The standards for injunctive relief are different. The prevailing party in a copyright case can seek attorneys' fees, while the general rule in contract cases is that both sides bear their own attorneys' fees.
So it matters whether copyright or contract law applies.
And, truth be told, the hypothetical at the top of this post is not quite so hypothetical; it is very close to the facts in Jacobsen v. Katzer, a case concerning open sourced code from the Java Model Railroad Interface group. Today, the Federal Circuit vacated a district court decision [PDF] that had held that only contract law was implicated by the defendants' alleged breach of the open source license applicable to the JMRI code.
The court concluded that the key question was whether the parts of the agreement the defendants allegedly breached were mere covenants (things the defendants agreed not to do when they accepted the license), or also conditions of the license (things that must be satisfied in order for the defendants to be licensed at all). Because the license at issue went out of its way to state that licensees' obligations were "conditions," the court concluded that if the defendants were in breach, the plaintiff could sue for copyright infringement.
There are a lot of things in this opinion that the open source community should cheer. The opinion notes that open source software "can often be written and debugged faster and at lower cost than if the copyright holder were required to do all of the work independently," and points out that "[t]here are substantial benefits, including economic benefits, to the creation and distribution of copyrighted works under public licenses that range far beyond traditional license royalties." And the court emphatically concluded that "[c]opyright holders who engage in open source licensing have the right to control the modification and distribution of copyrighted material."
While we're pleased to see a panel of learned judges endorse the legal foundations of the open source software paradigm, the decision may also encourage proprietary software vendors who frequently fill their "end user license agreements" with restrictions that are denominated as "conditions" on the license.
If violating a "condition" in a EULA results in copyright infringement liability, what's to stop a software vendor from imposing conditions that are unrelated to copyright law (e.g. an agreement not to disparage the copyright owner, or to wear pink bunny ears on Tuesdays), or even antithetical to copyright law (e.g. a waiver of fair use rights)?
For a view of the dark side of "conditions" imposed in proprietary software licenses, consider the "thou shalt not run software we don't like" terms that Blizzard imposes on those who purchase World of Warcraft software, terms that recently were upheld in court despite a very astute amicus brief by Public Knowledge.
We're sure to see this issue come up again in future cases, so stay tuned.

Very nice zoo north of downtown in Brackenridge park. the collection of animals is good but not great and the settings are modern. its a manageable size and not overly expensive zoo but worth a visit.
We visited the San Antonio Zoo for the first time yesterday. We got there at opening time (very necessary if you want to see most of the animals active) and didn't have to worry about crowds for the first hour or so.
It's got a very nice layout, and although not the largest zoo, it makes very good use of the space to showcase a lot of animals without feeling cramped. Due to construction and expansion, one can definitely see that there's the "new" section and there the "old" section. The Africa Live project is really nice.
Of particular interest to my wife and I are the bear exhibits. Side by Side, we are treated to the Spectacled Bear, the American Black Bear, and the Grizzly Bear. They are usually most active in the mornings (again, it pays to get there early), but we got a very animated performance from the Grizzly for about 10 minutes or so around the 3:00pm hour.
There is a full list of the animals on the website. But here's why this is a great outing in San Antonio.
1. It has a great walking layout. You get some exercise and San Antonio Weather is nice enough most days to make for a good zoo day.
2. They are open 365 days a year.
3. Parking is free.
4. Admission is only $10 and if you look around, you can usually find a $1 or $2 coupon good for your entire party.
5. Food and drink prices are exceptionally reasonable.
6. If you are only visiting San Antonio, you can see the entire zoo if you go faster than just a leisurely stroll. There's plenty of time for other activities for that day.
We were so impressed, we decided to purchase season tickets and apply our day's admission to that cost. $65 for an annual family pass is a great deal.
This is one of the best zoos. Also, the surrounding areas are beautiful, especially Brackenridge Park, the Sunken Gardens (a Japanese-style rock and flower garden with huge goldfish), and the San Antonio River. The river originates at springs nearby.
Brackenridge Park, near the San Antonio Zoo, is a lovely urban park where you can see the headwaters of the San Antonio River. The river begins at a small spring. Another favorite attraction is the cable cars, which take the visitor across the park, affording a spectacular view of the city skyline and surrounding areas. Of course, it's also the perfect spot for a picnic, and for the kids to play.
The San Antonio zoo seems to be a more intimate zoo than most. While relatively large, the animals are close; so close, in fact, there is more than one opportunity to reach out and touch an animal or feed one (against the rules).
One of the several highlights of the zoo is the rhino area. They may stink, but they seem to be pretty domesticated and willing to get close. They also appear to be willing to eat from the hands of zoo visitors.
The main attraction, however, is the wide assortment of birds at the zoo. In one area, near the "peak" of the zoo, there is an environment perfect for birds to fly freely, and the netted-in setting allows for the feeling of the woods or jungle. Be careful; the birds will dive bomb mercilessly...just be aware of where you are sitting.
Zoo is located in Brackenridge Park, just north of the downtown CBD.
A great way to pass the morning, or the whole day. The childrens zoo area has been redone and is geared towards families with children under 5 yrs old. One of the best chlidrens areas I've ever seen at a zoo.
Gen Admission $8 per adult
A nice sized zoo that is in the process of being up-dated and up-graded. They have a section where Australian lorries (a species of parrot) fly free and for $1 you can buy a small cup of nectar. You go into the enclosure, open the cup, and, Viola! there are half dozen lorries on your hand, arm, head, etc. looking for a drink.
There is also a butterfly enclosure.
Admission: Adults $8, children 3-11, $6.
And there is a $1 off p/person coupon you can download from their website.

NCSA can help make sure that you do every little thing that you can to stand out in the scouting process
College field hockey recruiting for high school athletes is feared by some because it presents uncharted territory. If you play field hockey and are ready to step up your game, the long list of college choices can be too much to handle. The more you can find out about field hockey recruiting, the merrier! At the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA), one of our goals is to answer your questions about the college field hockey recruiting process and get you in touch with the right people. Knowledge of the college field hockey recruiting process and how to maximize scholarship opportunities is crucial for any high school athlete. If you're a field hockey coach in charge of field hockey recruiting, we have thousands of field hockey recruiting profiles waiting just for you, along with athlete profiles from 15 other high school sports. Our Recruit-Match Database streamlines the process of helping coaches discover field hockey players.
Finding an athletic scholarship can be difficult, but it's easier if you know the steps.
National Collegiate Scouting Association® (NCSA) is the nation's leading collegiate recruiting source for more than 500,000 student-athletes and 42,000 college coaches. By taking advantage of this extensive network, more than 92 percent of NCSA verified athletes play at the college level. The network is available to high school student-athletes around the country through valued relationships with the NFLPA, FBU, NFCA and SPIRE. Each year, NCSA educates over 4 million athletes and their parents about the recruiting process through resources on its website, presentations of the critically-acclaimed seminar College Recruiting Simplified, and with Athletes Wanted, the book written by NCSA founder Chris Krause.

Welcome to the East Scotland Branch
of Butterfly Conservation
Conserving and recording the butterflies and moths of Eastern Scotland.
Find out about the activities of our branch throughout the Scottish Borders;
the Lothians, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, Perth and Kinross,
Fife, Angus, Banffshire and Aberdeenshire.
Butterfly First Sightings
in 2016
Together we can make a difference...
Join Butterfly Conservation
As a member of Butterfly Conservation you will
contribute to the survival of butterflies, moths and their habitats.
Butterflies and moths are a crucial part of our heritage and valuable
indicators to the health of the environment.
By becoming a member of Butterfly Conservation today you can do something
important not just for Britain's butterflies and moths but for the planet as
Members will receive a fantastic pack including a set of collectible postcards, access to our nature reserves, a subscription to our exclusive magazine 3 times a year, plus more!.
The Branch's area has a very diverse range of habitats including extensive areas of upland moorland, coastal habitats, wetlands, farmland, broad-leaved and coniferous woodland. These different habitats support a wide range of fauna and flora and a good number of butterfly species and many species of moth may be seen within the region.
The East Scotland branch of Butterfly Conservation seeks to increase our knowledge of the region's butterflies and moths, to assist in their conservation and to encourage the study of these fascinating insects. We run events ourselves and support the events of other organisations too.
We would very much like to hear about what you have seen and encourage you to take up regular monitoring of Butterflies and/or Moths. This web site has forums where you can tell us about your sightings or ask questions too. We also have branch members who act as formal recorders for Butterflies and Moths; details about who they are and how to get your sightings to them can be found
through the Moth Records and Butterfly
Records menu items at the top left of this page.
You are encouraged to come along to our field trips. Some of these are focused on introducing people to moths and/or butterflies and others are targeted at specific species or habitat work.
Conservation Action
The UK Biodiversity Action Plan lists our most threatened species and habitats. Most species listed are either undergoing rapid declines, or have populations of European or international importance in the UK. In Scotland some of these species will not be declining fast, or may even be stable, but the declines in other areas mean that they qualify for listing. What action is needed for each species and habitat is determined at a combination
of UK, country, regional and local levels.
Local Biodiversity Action Plans are an excellent way of coordinating action to conserve wildlife at the local level. Local action cannot take place without the enthusiasm and interest of local people, and depends on partnerships between local communities, landowners, businesses, a range of voluntary and public organisations, and the local Council. Contact your local council to see how you can get involved.
Our branch's Regional Action Plan for The Butterflies and Moths of Eastern Scotland is one of a series drawn up by Butterfly Conservations branches throughout the UK. The plans were initiated some years ago under Butterfly Conservations Action for Butterflies project. Our plan has now been updated and can be found on the Action Plans page.
Butterfly Conservation is a UK charity, now with around 20,000 members, and over 1200 in Scotland. We work closely with the Scottish Government, Scottish Natural Heritage, local communities and conservation partners to safeguard Scotlands butterflies and moths, by:

I SUPPOSE the cholecystogram is generally accepted among the most useful and accurate of all radiological examinations that we perform. The reputation of this diagnostic procedure rapidly became established after its introduction by Graham and Cole over 40 years ago, and careful refinements in technique have gradually increased the accuracy of the method until one can confidently say, at the present time, that oral cholecystography results in an accurate diagnosis in 95% of cases or better. The error in the very small group that remains usually relates to nonvisualization of the gallbladder for some extraneous cause other than actual gallbladder disease. Recently, our attention, however, has been attracted to the occasional case of proven gallbladder disease occurring in patients who have had apparently normal cholecystograms, even upon repeated examination.

Grape Type: other white varietal
Origin: Washington
Region: Columbia Valley
93 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - November/December 2008
($36; 68% sauvignon blanc and 32% semillon) Bright, full yellow with a green tinge. Pure aromas of pineapple, pear, chlorophyll and high-toned spicy oak. Bright, pure and penetrating in the mouth, with terrific density and nuance to the flavors of lime zest, minerals and coconut. For all its depth, this conveys a rare light touch. This belongs on the same table as a top-tier white Bordeaux; I was reminded of Domaine de Chevalier! One of the most exciting white wines I've tasted to date from Washington.

Drug-driving roadside tests 'on the way' says government
Prime Minister David Cameron has said more needs to be done to crack down on drivers who take drugs and get behind the wheel.
In other countries, like France and Germany, police carry out saliva tests at the roadside to detect cannabis, cocaine and other substances.
Drugs are suspected of playing a part in 250 fatal accidents a year in the UK.
Now the government has said it wants to introduce a similar system in the UK as soon as possible.
Newsbeat's been to Dunkirk in France to see how it works.
As well as pulling over cars and breathalysing for alcohol, police in the French port have extra powers.
During one stop, a man in his early 20s passes the breathalyser test - but police are still suspicious.
"The visage - his face, the face," says the police officer. "We suppose that he has been smoking cannabis."
What happens next cannot - as things stand - happen in the UK.
They take him to a nearby van to check for drug use and to get a swab of saliva.
Ten minutes later the results come back negative.
But more than 9,000 motorists have been convicted of drug driving in France since this type of testing was introduced in 2003.
A similar system exists in countries like Germany, Italy and Australia.
Testing in the UK
In Britain, police don't test for drugs at the roadside.
They check for things like dilated pupils and - if drug use is suspected - the person is asked to walk in a straight line and count to 30.
If they fail then can they be taken away to give a blood sample.
But campaigners say that doesn't happen often enough.
"They haven't taken it seriously enough," says Michaela Groves.
"It actually gives you the same effects as drink driving does. So why can't we combine them both and have zero tolerance on both of them?"
Michaela's 14-year-old niece, Lillian, was killed by a speeding driver who had smoked cannabis.
But he wasn't tested until nine hours after the incident and could only be convicted of careless driving.
"They need to re-examine the whole thing," says Michaela. "Why have a law in place and not be able to use it and use it effectively?"
But roadside drug testing in Britain could be controversial.
Drugs like cannabis can stay in your system for days and critics say that could mean a person fails a test even though it's not affecting their driving.
Police currently have to prove that the drug has actually made a suspect unfit to drive.
The government is now considering whether to change the law to make it an offence to simply test positive for an illegal substance at the roadside.

Back to the grindstonePosted by Ian in Academics, Personal, tags: Adventure Program, concert, Mt. Blanca, Red Rocks, school
The first week of school has come and gone and things have settled into school mode for the semester. It was a crazy transition coming from Zion and then going almost directly back to work at the Adventure Program helping with new student trips. I am still not fully unpacked but thats also due to the difficulty of fitting so much stuff into such a small place. I lost a coin toss and landed the small room in the apartment (also, the room has no shelving built in). I've been playing unpacking tetris ever since. However, the room has a great, possibly redeeming, view of Blanca:
A trip up to see Leftover Salmon and Yonder Mountain String Band play at Red Rocks last Friday helped ease the back-to-school shock. Good show, good people, good times.
Classes this semester seem to be interesting (especially Geomorphology) and the workload will not be too crazy. Only 2 more semesters left!

#3. Keep healthy snacks handy. When hunger strikes, it's hard to stick to a nutritious diet. Take a proactive approach by bringing several pieces of fruit to the office at the beginning of the week, stashing granola bars in your car's glove compartment or carrying around a bag of trail mix in your purse.

The purpose of this game is to teach students about the habitats (biomes) that exist on Earth and the organisms that live in them. It is targeted toward upper elementary and middle school students.This educational game challenges students to match organisms with the correct habitat they are found in. The game takes you around the world to explore the inhabitants from land biomes that range from the deepest dark rainforest to the frozen tundra. You will additionally explore water environments including the sea shore, the coral reef and then venturing out into the open ocean. While doing this you will learn about animals, plants, and even microscopic creatures that live in the variety of biomes that make up the planetary ecosystem we call Earth. Along the way, as you succeed in the game the creatures come to life in comic form and tell jokes related to themselves and the habitat they live in.The player first selects the type of habitat they want to play with. They then must pick from a random group of cartoon organisms most common to that particular habitat. Players can get from the program informational clues about the organisms. Additionally players can use a button to take the player to the World Wide Web to get information about the organism online. The player is rewarded with a comic about that habitat every time they correctly place four organisms and click the reward button. Habitats can be played multiple times before all the organisms are correctly matched.

I had lasik surgery done about two months ago, Dr. McFarland was my surgeon. He was very easy to talk to, explained everything in great detail. I at no point in time felt uncomfortable or uneasy about any part of the procedure. I was able to study everything down to the type of laser that would be used during my procedure. I cried after my eye surgery out of happiness, where all optometrist told me it wasn't possible he made it possible for me to see as well as I do now. I can't thank him enough for what he's given me. :) Thank you Scott McFarland!
Dr. McFarland performed my lasik surgery almost 10 years ago when he was at Kaiser. My vision had been terrible since I was a kid. My rx was so heavy that glasses would give me a headache. I had dry eyes and couldn't tolerate contacts as I got older. My surgery was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I have not had a single problem with my vision since lasik. Dr. F was very kind, conscientious, and dedicated. He did a beautiful job and I am forever grateful!

The College of Charleston's Board of Trustees is holding a special meeting Friday, when it will continue reviewing candidates for the job of president.
The meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. in the boardroom of Randolph Hall on the downtown campus.
The board ultimately will decide on the school's next leader. Under state law, it must release the names of the final pool of no fewer than three candidates. It remains unclear when the board will decide on and release the names.
A search committee this month sent a list of its five recommended candidates to the board. That list did not include the name of Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell, who had applied for the job.
Sources with close ties to the search process have said McConnell was one of the search committee's top 10 candidates, but he was not among its top five.
The board, however, isn't obligated to abide by the search committee's recommendations. It could include additional candidates in its list of finalists, or it could exclude the names of some of the search committee's recommended candidates.
Board Chairman Greg Padgett has said that more than 100 people applied for the job.
The new president will replace George Benson, who will step down at the end of June.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Operation Protective Edge, launched Monday evening against the latest uptick in rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, won't end "in a few days."
During meetings with Homefront Commander Maj.-Gen. Eyal Eisenberg and Defense Ministry Director General Dan Harel, Ya'alon declared a "special situation" for cities and towns within 40 kilometers (approximately 20 miles) of the Gaza Strip.
"We are preparing for action against Hamas, which will not end within a few days," Ya'alon said. "Hamas has led this round of violence so it can target and damage our home front. There is a need for breathing room," he explained.
"In the last few hours we have launched powerful strikes and hit tens of Hamas' targets. The IDF is continuing its strikes to exact a heavy price from Hamas. We will not tolerate rocket fire on Israel cities, and we are preparing to expand the operation with everything at our disposal to strike Hamas."
When the Color Red air raid siren sounds, residents of southern Israeli communities have approximately 15 seconds to get to bomb shelters.
Ya'alon praised residents and heads of regional councils in the South for their "leadership and responsibility."
Meanwhile, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the "military wing" of Hamas, posted a "Military Communiqué" on its website, saying it "retaliated" against "Zionist aggression" by "shelling military bases" [Israeli towns and cities] with 35 missiles.

Kingston SSDNow V+ 200 120GB Solid State Drive Review
PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article - full instructions are included.
- Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.
HDD1 - Windows Defender
HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery
HDD4 - Vista Startup
HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
The asynchronous flash drives with SandForce SF-2281 controllers slow down quite a bit more than the synchronous flash drives when both are filled to 50% of capacity.
We aren't going to play up the decline in performance when dealing with multimedia files since this is a business specific drive, but we can't shy away from the loss of performance when data is present. There is a very large loss of performance, but let's finish the standard testing and then discuss everything in the conclusion.

ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND -- Sleepy's has the worst customer service ever. Every time I call customer service each one of them had different answers. I bought a Tempur-Pedic bed from Sleepy's in Ellicott City and I wanted to return it because my body didn't like it. I went to the store in Hanover because that's where I moved. They said "you cannot do a return, you have to exchange it." Then I called customer service they said the same exact thing. No returns. I went back to the Ellicott City store they said the same thing.
So I did an exchange with another mattress which was delivered defective. The delivery guys said "sleep on it the bumps will go away." Well it didn't. I called customer service, the 30-day exchange period was just over so I had to do an inspection and was qualified for an exchange. The customer service representative said "go to the store and pick any bed you like." I go back to the Hanover store they said I have to pick a bed with equal or lesser value.
So I call customer service once again. They said "well you had an option to exchange or RETURN the Tempur-Pedic but you chose to exchange". WHAT!!!! I had a chance to return when 2 of their stores plus customer service said "no returns on Tempur-Pedic". I go back to the sales guy in Ellicott City. He still says "we don't do returns and we work separately from customer service".
How does that even make sense? They should have the same policies. SO they are bunch of liars. Stay away from them and save your money and time. I have a lot more but want to keep this short. I talked to the manager - she just says sorry. Well sorry doesn't give me my money back!!! I told her about this bad review - she didn't even care. I will take this to my lawyer as well.
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY -- Poor quality of mattresses, warranty department does not consider your claims seriously. They find any excuse not to cover their products under warranty. Think twice.
NEW YORK -- I purchased a twin mattress on 2/14 and cancelled the order the next day. Despite cancelling the order, it took Sleepy's 11 days to issue a refund, which still has not been posted to my credit card. Apparently, even though Sleepy's told me the order was cancelled, it really was not because only a district manager can do that. Customer service had to contact the district manager no less than 4 times before action was taken.
Customer service instructed me to call the store manager myself who, I am told, finally reached the district manager. I called customer service no less than 6 times by phone and twice by email to get a refund. Customer service told me that it took so long because the district manager is "busy". I will never shop there again.
BAYSIDE, NEW YORK -- On Labor Day 2015, I went to Sleepy's in Bayside NY store to purchase a mattress on sale. I had a list with me of the mattress I wanted to check. As soon as I walked in the salesman grab my list and started to show me a $3,000 mattress. I told him I am not looking to spend that much money and that I was looking to buy one from my list between $600 & $800. Reluctantly he showed me few of the ones on my list but I didn't like the support. He showed me one that had a good support so I decided to buy that one.
The salesman told me it was a $1,800 regular price and last week was on sale for $950 and today is only $749. I liked the firmness of the mattress so I purchased it for delivery next day. Next day something told me to check the price online because I didn't like the way the salesman rushed me in the store. I entered the model number and the sale price on the mattress was only $649 not the $749 that the salesman charged me.
I call the store immediately and I was switch to the main office. The put me on hold for long time and finally I was told that the salesman made a mistake and they will refund the $100 to my credit card. It took about 2 weeks to get my refund after many phone calls to Sleepy's. The salesman in that store definitely didn't make a mistake. He deliberately overcharged me so he can get a bigger commission and that is called RIP-OFF!!!! Stay away from Sleepy's Rip-off artists!!!
NEW YORK -- I bought a Tempur-Pedic mattress from Sleepy's. I specifically asked if the mattress gave off a smell. The salesman told me that it did absolutely no such thing. At the time of the order, the salesman told me that I could get a refund if I was not pleased, no questions asked. I placed my order and the mattress was delivered. I slept on the mattress the first night. I got up the next morning very dizzy. I stopped myself from falling by sitting on the floor.
Then I noticed a rash on my face. The mattress smells so bad that I have had the windows open in my house for 6 days, and I cannot get rid of the smell. My entire house such a smell that I have been sleeping at a friend's house. I finally called Sleepy's and they said that they can only replace the mattress, and will not refund. Needless to say, I do not want to do business with this company and I'll probably have to bring about a lawsuit.
HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY -- I made the mistake of going to Sleepy's five years ago to get a bed and box spring. I live in Hoboken and the store was close to me. I was told I didn't need a frame. Over the next two years the bed slowly got worse and worse so I added a topping from Macy's and it improved. But after five years the bed totally fell apart to the point where I had to buy a REAL mattress, box spring and frame from a real store called Macy's. It cost me $100 more than the Sleepy's debacle, but it is a million times better.
I should have known I was in trouble when I went to Sleepy's in casual clothes and asked for the $800 set and was told "Oh, you want the cheap bed? All the cheap beds are downstairs." I will never set foot in this store again. Viva Macy's.
ST. CHARLES, ILLINOIS -- I was sold a mattress and told that I could return it within a certain time period if I did not like it. Well, I went to return it well within the timeframe because it was giving me health problems. Salesman, Jason, said the he was mistaken in telling me I could return it and there wasn't anything he could do about it. He gave me some people for ME to call try to resolve it myself (busy work). Jason did not tell his manager, Jackie, the truth about what happened. I know this because she told me "It's he said, she said." Jackie did not care if I could not even sleep on the mattress. She said, "Sorry, we cannot do anything for you." Click!
I ended up filing complaints with their NY offices, who also brushed me off until I filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office. Even then I was not treated like they cared about me as a consumer. Ended up getting my money back through Tempurpedic, not Sleepy's. Save yourself the hassle - go anywhere else but here. Poorest customer service of any place for me in the past 20 years!
CONNECTICUT -- I was looking for a mattress/box spring at Sleepy's online for my new queen-size bed. The one I saw one I like for about $700 or so. When I did an online chat with a customer service rep, he told me I'd get a FREE mattress cover & two jumbo pillows with my order. This was a lie! I was paying $30 for it & I realized that when I went to check out my order. I was very upset, called customer service, & they confirmed it's NOT FOR FREE, & basically I was lied to.
I cancelled my order only to have them show up anyway w/ the order two days later. I was also CHARGED TWICE on my credit card for an order I never received, that took two weeks to credit me after several more phone calls to customer service.
BROOKHAVEN, PENNSYLVANIA -- Alex was our sales person and he did everything he's supposed to. I have been a sales supervisor for many years, so that's what I judged him by and he was great. I highly recommend Alex at the Brookhaven store if you're looking for a personable, knowledgeable and honest salesman.
DANBURY, CONNECTICUT -- The sales people do not tell you that you have to do a weights and measures test if your mattress fails. They tell you it will just be exchanged. This is ridiculous and takes too much time. They will not replace the mattress unless I take this test. This is a new policy that consumers are not aware of.

'Social, Local, Mobile' Changes the way Moms Interact with Brands
Brand.net and Quaker Reveal Media Engagement and Activation Strategies for the 'SoLoMo' Mom
San Francisco, CA (Profitable.com) Brand.net, a Valassis (NYSE: VCI) Digital Company, announced today that SoLoMo (Social, Local, Mobile) is changing the way people are interacting and learning about brands and products.
Industry experts Rajat Shroff, Vice President of Product Management and Business Development at Brand.net, and Barbara Liss, Director of Digital and Social Media at Quaker Foods of PepsiCo, shared insights at the recent iMedia Summit on media engagement and activating the SoLoMo mom, who is now driving consumption behavior.
In the early 2000s, moms weren't as digitally connected, spending only about one hour online a day versus more than three hours a day in 2012. Rather, it was her family spending time online, finding products they wanted her to purchase for them. Today's mom now spends an average of 6.1 hours a day on her smartphone. In addition, 1 of every 3 minutes a mom spends online is on Facebook. She's also joining online mom clubs and is more aware of product attributes than ever.
At the iMedia Summit, Shroff and Liss discussed how today's SoLoMo mom is becoming aware of products on social sites, researching on parenting blogs, and then making the buying choices for her family. Her multi-media consumption is leading to faster, smarter and better buying decisions. Shroff and Liss also discussed the differences in how media behavior, geography, culture and other demographics impact the SoLoMo mom.
Shroff heads up product strategy with a specific focus on unlocking the unique data and assets at the company to make them actionable for digital advertising. He has also held product management leadership positions and led strategy and delivery of products for analytics, personalization, search, advertising and merchandising. "Brands are engaging with consumers, especially with moms, in so many different ways today," Shroff said. "Media consumption continues to grow on digital screens and the opportunities to engage with consumers innovatively across them is leading to loyalty and activation."
Liss is responsible for driving the digital agenda across the Quaker portfolio. During her tenure, she has spearheaded the brand's e-commerce initiatives, enhanced Quaker's social CRM program and overseen their entry into mobile marketing. According to Liss, "Social, Local and Mobile are key engagement arenas for Quaker Foods to connect with the Digital mom. We are continuously pursuing new areas to reach, engage and activate moms. Brand.net has been open to working with us on new techniques and the early signs are successful."
