Filed under: Safety, Videos, Crossover, Subaru
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety introduced its new small overlap frontal crash test last year, and while a number of cars have passed the test with an "Acceptable" rating, the 2014 Subaru Forester is the first vehicle to ace the test with a "Good" rating. A total of 13 small crossovers and SUVs were subjected to the more rigorous testing procedure, and only the Forester and the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport drove off with the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating.
Two of the worst-performing vehicles that were called out in this group were the Nissan Rogue and Jeep Wrangler, which were the only two not to receive a Top Safety Pick Rating. The Jeep Patriot did earn that distinction despite not performing well in the small overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn top ratings in front, side, rear and roof-strength tests, while a Top Safety Pick+ requires four out of five to be "Good" ratings with the fifth no worse than "Acceptable;" the Forester received "Good" ratings in all five tests. Scroll down for a video showing how the Forester and some of its competitors performed in the small overlap test, along with a press release.Continue reading Subaru Forester first to ace difficult, new IIHS crash test [w/video]

Reborn Triumph's 900 Trident was about as straightforward a bike as Hinckley could produce, and also happened to be one of the best of the early machines. The three-cylinder motor was distinctive, flexible and robust, the handling, though tall, better than the average roadster and it was comfortable, attractive enough and versatile, too. No wonder the Triumph Trident lived longer ...
955cc, 104bhp, 133mph, Insurance group 13
The second generation Triumph Tiger carried on the theme of the original – a big, bruising road trail motorcycle powered by Hinckley's distinctive triple. The difference was this was the second generation triple with updated chassis and styling to match. Later versions are well equipped and the Triumph Tiger 955i is a decent road motorcycle taller riders, but it's also ...
599cc, 108bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 14
Triumph wowed us all when they beat all the Japanese manufacturers to putting a fuel injected engine in to a 600cc sportsbike. Shame about the glitches. Later Triumph TT600s are better but the handling and brakes have never been in doubt: they're awe-inspiring. Dodgy looks but a true Brit.
1180cc, 108bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 14
Originally more sportster than tourer, Hinckley Triumph's first bike slowly evolved into a fully-fledged tourer with a slightly sporty personality. The main change to the Triumph Trophy 1200 came in 1995 with a much-improved fairing and bodywork, as well as colour matched hard luggage fitted as standard. The Triumph Trophy 1200 is a proper, big (and tall) old school tourer ...
885cc, 84bhp, 119mph, Insurance group 13
The Triumph Tiger is a versatile tourer and inter-city commuter with the same rear wheel power as a BMW R1150GS. The Triumph Tiger is handy in the bends, rides easily and the wide seat, 24-litre tank and good screen put long-distance commuting and touring well within its capabilities.
955cc, 118bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 14
Superb British all rounder Triumph Sprint ST pipped Honda's VFR800 simply by using a straight bat when the VFR tried all kinds of trick but ultimately unnecessary technology. Plus the Triumph Sprint ST undercuts the VFR on price too. Superb all-round sports tourer with a grunty three cylinder engine that makes it anything but bland.
955cc, 118bhp, 154mph, Insurance group 14
Never a big seller when new but the Triumph Sprint RS can be a real bargain on the used market. Sporty sports tourer with Triumph's powerful, mellifluous three cylinder engine. The Triumph Sprint RS is similar to the better selling Sprint ST but with a cheaper and lighter conventional swingarm, less plastic, firmer suspension, sharper geometry and a different exhaust. The ...
885cc, 92bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 13
The Triumph Sprint Executive is a competent sports-touring machine that rides like it looks – top-heavy, fast and old. It's essentially a 900 Trophy with a Rickman-style fairing slapped across its mug, but the triple-cylinder motor makes a nice noise and it's reasonably comfortable if you can forgive the noisy, imperfect screen. The Triumph Sprint Executive comes with colour-coded hard ...
599cc, 110bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The Triumph Daytona 600/650 is lighter, smoother, faster and infinitely prettier than the TT600. What's more, Bruce Anstey won the Junior TT on one in 2003 which goes to show what improvements Triumph made to their 600cc sports middleweight contender. The Triumph Daytona 600/650 is a beauty: an involved ride with excellent handling, amazing brakes and it's good value.

Somali Piracy
Somali Counter-piracy Operations Effective, Should Continue
UK House of Lords Select Committee states naval 'Operation Atalanta' has turned the tide on Somali pirates but should extend. The House of Lords EU Committee for External Affairs has praised the success of Operation Atalanta in curbing piracy off the Somali coast. However, they say that the operation must be extended beyond its current end date of December 2014 if it is to make a lasting difference in combating the threat. The Committee say that Operation Atalanta has made clear progress in reducing the number of ships pirated, with only 8 vessels and 215 hostages held in June 2012 compared to 23 vessels and 501 hostages in the same month in 2011. Nonetheless the report makes clear that it is vital this effort is extended beyond 2014 to show the EU will not walk away from confronting piracy in the Indian Ocean. Otherwise organisations and individuals that organise piracy will simply wait out the operation before returning to their previous activities. Other findings in the report include: • Somali piracy will never be completely eradicated until the root causes of the problems in the country are addressed. The Committee welcome EU efforts to increase aid to the country and say that aid should be focused on providing alternative livelihoods for the Somali people to reduce the incentives to engage in piracy.
Hellenic War Risks Club at 50; Reports $68.6m in Reserves
Piracy remains a major issue, especially for Greek owners, says the Club. The Hellenic War Risks Club is celebrating its 50th year of operation in 2011. The Association's founding Directors, which included J C Carras, J E G Kulukundis, C M Lemos, D J Chandris and F P Lykiardopulo, recognised a need for Greek shipowners to come together on a mutual basis to provide the most competitive war risk insurance premiums, which, at the time, were difficult and expensive to obtain

Somali Piracy Down, But Not Out
International Maritime Bureau reported that piracy is at a six year low, but maritime security company GoAGT said now it is not the time to lose focus on security, especially with a serious attack on two ships occurring just a month ago. Nick Davis, CEO of the company, said, "While the report should be welcomed, this is certainly not the time to consign Somali piracy to history. Too many factors that encouraged its initial development remain in place
IMB: Piracy Falls to Lowest Level since 2007
The International Chamber of Commerce's International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has revealed that piracy on the world's seas is at its lowest first-quarter level since 2007, but warns that the threat is still present. The latest IMB Piracy Report, published today, shows 49 piracy incidents in the first quarter of 2014 – the lowest first quarter figure since 2007, when 41 incidents were recorded. In the first three months, two vessels were hijacked, 37 vessels boarded
U.S. Company Hired to Thwart Piracy
Somalia's government signed a deal with a US maritime security firm to fight rampant piracy in the waters off its unpatrolled coast, according to a report in the Taipei Times. Waters off the coast of Somalia are considered among the most dangerous in the world. Pirates firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns earlier this month tried to board a US-owned cruise liner about 160km off the Somali coast. New York-based Topcat Marine Security Inc signed a deal worth more than $50
Somali Counter-piracy Offensive Paying Off
Piracy off the Somali Coast falls to lowest levels in years as result of tough measures on land & at sea.

It was not until recently, however, that piracy in the region attracted significant international media attention due to the increase in hijackings of product tankers in

I think Paul that perhaps you're missing the point. No one buys wow for the fishing or archaeology, but the extra content gives some people something do and keeps tham subscribed a little bit longer. A well implemented farming system that allowed you to produce mats for professions, minipets and mounts would enhance the game. It won't make you start playing but it could keep you playing longer than you would otherwise.

High Line Art presents Caterpillar by artist Carol Bove, a HIGH LINE COMMISSION featuring seven sculptures that punctuate the wild landscape on the High Line at the Rail Yards, the third and final section of the High Line. On view for one year beginning Thursday, May 16, 2013, Bove's commission is the last opportunity to see this section of the elevated railway in its natural state before it opens as public parkland in 2014. The commission will be viewable during public walks on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until May 2014. Admission is free and advance reservations are required.
Working mainly in the field of sculpture, Bove has been making sculptural installations that range from small-scale, intimate arrangements of objects to monumental outdoors artworks. In the early 2000s, Bove made a series of wall-mounted shelves, which contained disparate elements, such as used books, vintage magazines, vernacular sculptures, and found objects. Alongside these intimate installations, Bove has recently been working on larger compositions which often take over the entire exhibition space, turning the gallery into a landscape or a vitrine. By using platforms and plinths, the artist creates unique environments that combine the tradition of modernist abstract sculpture with the seductive atmospheres of shop windows and commercial displays.
For the High Line, Bove continues her research on the role and function of art in the public space, by creating seven new sculptures which are installed within the self-seeded landscape on the High Line at the Rail Yards. Bove's site-specific installation highlights the uniqueness of its location and opens a magical environment for viewers. Installed along a 300-yard stretch of the untouched terrain of the High Line, Bove's sculptures reveal themselves among the unruly vegetation, like mysteriously pristine ruins of a lost civilization or a contemporary version of a Zen garden. Abstract shapes and enigmatic forms are carefully placed along the High Line, creating a unique viewing experience surrounded by the wilderness of the High Line and the stunning views of the Hudson River.
Brooklyn-based artist Carol Bove (b. 1971, Switzerland) is known for her simple yet intricate assemblages of found and made objects. Recent solo exhibitions include the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013); The Common Guild, Glasgow (2013); the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2010); Horticultural Society of New York (2009); Blanton Museum of Art, Austin (2006); Kunsthalle Zürich (2004); Institute of Contemporary Art Boston (2004); and the Kunstverein Hamburg (2003). Major group exhibitions include In the Holocene, MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts (2012); The Age of Aquarius, The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago (2011); Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2010); Unmonumental: The Object in the 21st Century, New Museum, New York (2007); and Greater New York 2005, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York (2005). Major biennales include dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, Germany (2012), the 54th Venice Biennale (2011), and the Whitney Biennial, New York (2008). Bove is co-represented by Maccarone and David Zwirner, New York/London.
High Line Art is presented by Friends of the High Line and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. High Line Art is made possible by Donald R. Mullen, Jr. and The Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston, with additional support from the Concordia Foundation, and Vital Projects Fund, Inc. High Line Art is supported, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

The mobile version will reportedly look similar to a version leaked in February.
A purported iPad version of Office was allegedly leaked in February, though Microsoft denied that what was published was "an actual Microsoft product." Despite this, the company wouldn't say whether it was in fact working on a version of Office for Apple's popular tablet or not.
A new rumor suggests iPad and Android tablet users will be able to use a native, tablet-optimized version of Microsoft Office this fall. According to a source speaking to BGR, Microsoft will have a version of Office for both platforms ready in November.
BGR's source claimed to have seen Office running on an iPad, and confirmed that it looked "almost identical" to the previously leaked version. Additionally, Microsoft will reportedly release the software for Android-based tablets in the same November timeframe.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to our request for comment on its plans this afternoon.
With the increasing uptake of tablets at home, work, and school, there has been a growing demand to use Microsoft's popular word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications on mobile devices. There are a number of apps that offer varying compatibility with existing Office documents, and a few solutions have popped up which allow running Office on virtualized Windows environmentsrunning on remote servers. Such solutions do work, but aren't optimized for tablet interfaces.

Ed Scott recently took a trip up to Powell Flutes for his repair technician re-certification. Here is a little write up the nice people wrote about Ed and his training:
"Repair Technician Ed Scott began working at Chuck Levin's Washington Music center in April 1988, repairing flutes, saxophones, and bassoons. He was formally trained in instrument repair, having received an A.A. degree in Musical Instrument Technology from the State University of New York at Morrisville. He also received a B.A. degree in Saxophone Performance from St. Mary's College of Maryland and has performed semi-professionally in big bands for over fifteen years. He has also been a Powell Technician at Washington Music for the past fifteen years. His training in repairing Powell flutes began in the late 1990s with a visit to the Powell shop in Maynard, Massachusetts.
Since all Powell dealers are required to have Powell-trained or Straubinger-certified technicians on staff, Mr. Scott first came to the shop for specialized training on installing these pads. At the time of his initial visit to Powell, Straubinger pads were fairly new. Now, Mr. Scott will make the journey from Maryland to Massachusetts once again, returning next week for a "repair refresher course" at Powell. Looking back on his first visit, Mr. Scott recalled that he had always held Powells in very high esteem. He shared a bit of his impressions with us:
"When I first came to Powell for training, I found it to be a very professional environment. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I really valued the experience. To me, it was a highpoint — it was something I worked toward."
Commenting specifically on Straubinger pads, Mr. Scott expressed the benefits technicians can gain from learning how to install these pads:
"Straubinger pads are extremely flat and consistent. They are easy to work with and a good way for technicians to develop a light touch — because you want the pads to be sealed with the lightest touch possible. As a repair technician, the light touch is the biggest asset to have. Overall, the Straubinger pads are a very good thing. Flutists who have these pads installed on their flutes should not run into problems as long as they are careful and take care of their instruments."
Mr. Scott is looking forward to his next trip to Powell, which will be on Monday, May 20, 2013. We look forward to seeing him and hope he enjoys seeing all that is new at the Powell shop!"

So i put in clothes and whent out side. I ran into the woods close to the house and i saw something out of the coner of my eye and a felt something threatning so i ran as fast as i could. I realize this is exatly like my dream. I go into panic mode and i start running but im so confused and i dont know where i am soo all i can do is brace myself for the sevond vampire to throw me it happens but i land on my feet and run up a tree they are on the ground. Its two young girls about eight and seven.
"Where'd she go?" Said the 'seven' year old
You i jumped down on the the older ones back and grab her by the hair and throw her into a tree. I remember some moves uncle emmett and uncle jasper taught me. Go to the little one and she throw a punch i grab it she throws a second and dodge it and swoop under her legs standing behind her i put my hands on her neck in ready to snap it.
" who are you? What are you? Where is the rest of your clan? And why are you after me?"

Wake Up! Our Kids Are FAT ... Fix It!
As parents, we MUST help stop this horrifying epidemic. Momlogic expert Dr. Cara Natterson gives her advice on this weighty issue.
Consider the numbers: One in three adolescents and two out of three adults are either overweight or obese in this country. Why is this happening ... and what can we do?
"Obesity is one of the hardest things to recognize for a parent," says ML pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson. "Parents don't want to recognize that their child is having a problem, because it is the last thing they want for them. It puts the parents in crisis mode because of all that obesity implies: the loss of self-confidence, bullying, health implications, sadness."
This is an issue that can absolutely no longer be ignored, but what exactly IS this disease that's eating away at the health of this country, and what can we do to prevent it?
A child is considered obese if their weight is at least 10% higher than what is recommended for their height and body type. Studies have shown that a child who is obese between the ages of 10 and 13 has an 80% chance of becoming an obese adult.
Think being fat doesn't hurt? Take a look at these teens, speaking openly about their struggles with obesity on a recent episode of "Tyra."
Dr. Cara says there is a simple explanation to why a large part of our
youth is obese: "Our portions are too big, we eat too many calories and
we do not exercise like we used to," she says. "We drive, we watch TV, we sit. The
human body needs to move."
You must take a no-nonsense approach to setting rules in your household, says Dr. Cara. "Teens just as much as kids need rules," she explains. "The idea of their right to privacy and having computers and televisions in their rooms is not the correct way of approaching this."
Dr. Cara's advice:
1. Put computers in the kitchen or a space where kids can be monitored. Allow them two hours of "screen time" daily -- this includes computer, television, video games, iPods.
2. Apply the same rules for everyone in the house, not just the child or teen that is struggling with obesity. Everyone has the same amount of screen time and exercise time, and everyone eats similar foods. Make this a family pact so as to not alienate your obese child.
3. Create activity times with Mom and Dad. One day a week, Dad takes the kids out for a physical activity, and the other day Mom does it. Kids don't want to be fat, but oftentimes, they are too young to join a gym. Demonstrate the importance of physical activity.
4. Remove soda and junk food from the household. Create a healthy family environment for everyone.
5. Limit fast food, take-out, and eating out. Prepare foods at home as a family. Eat a diet rich in calcium and fiber, and limit the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.
6. Enforce a rule of one hour of physical activity a day. (Otherwise, they won't receive their screen time.)
Most importantly, create an environment that supports and encourages healthy choices.
What do you do in your household to foster fitness and health? Share your tips and get advice in the momlogic community.
The subsequent time I learn a put up, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to read, but I really thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you may fix in case you werent too busy looking for attention. home elliptical
I think the childhood obesity epidemic in this country is appalling. Besides the health implications, there are the mental health aspects - these kids have poor self-esteem and are more prone to anxiety and panic attacks.
I simply want to say I am just new to blogging and really enjoyed this web page. Almost certainly I'm likely to bookmark your website . You surely come with incredible articles and reviews. Cheers for revealing your web site.
Would you be interested in exchanging links? Best regards, Cary the excessive sweating expert.
You need to take part in a contest for the most effective blogs on the web. I'll suggest this web site! exercise cycle
I think this is due to parentes 'cause they don't teach to kids good eating habits, so we have to educate our kids what to eat and what not if we don't want obesity in our childrens.
All the best.
I am also writing to make you understand of the superb discovery my cousin's child obtained using your webblog. She even learned too many details, not to mention what it's like to have a great coaching heart to have the others with ease comprehend selected tricky topics. You truly surpassed our own desires. Many thanks for giving such useful, trustworthy, edifying and even cool tips on your topic to Lizeth.
I just couldn't depart your web site before suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard info a person provide for your visitors? Is going to be back often in order to check up on new posts
Wake up? we should have woken up years ago, being fat is one of the worst things you can do for your health and it can also hurt your concentration.
I think part of the reason for the obesity in America is we are overworking and don't have enough time to prepare healthy meals. Until that changes, our nation will always have extremely high obesity rate. Lose stomach fat
Wow, that looks so good!Maybe you from changed your keynote not too hanker ago? Largely because I could include sworn it was not the same the former time I was here…unless I am theory of a bizarre web site.
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
As a Newbie, I am constantly browsing online for articles that can help me. Thank you
This is a national disgrace. There are so many things to blame but genes should be at the bottom of the list. - Inactivity, fast food, HFCS. I went to Paris for a week, ate a lot of caloric food (but high quality), walked a lot and came back 7 pounds thinner. Tay @ tinnitus miracle review

The ethics of candid photography.
This is subject that divides opinion, "You will get into trouble one day" my wife keeps telling me.
I must have taken hundreds of pictures of people in public places and only once been asked why I had taken a picture, in this case two girls at a fun fair.
Not asking normally gives me a more natural and relaxed picture. I am by nature a shy person which is another reason why I don't often ask. Now and again I do ask.
A friend at work says "You are invading people's privacy."
For many years I took photos of people at work, at the time some people were not so pleased, "Put that bloody camera away", now thirty years on when I get out the photos we never tire of looking at them, it brings back memories of fun times in our younger days.
My thoughts on privacy are these. When I take someones picture and they know nothing of it what happens?
The chances are the picture goes on to my computer and probably never goes any further. Maybe one in one hundred does go on the internet or in to a book.
Consider that Flickr, one of the largest photo sharing web sites has 51 million members and 6 billion images stored on it (probably more by now), and there are many more such sites. The chances of someone or someone who knows them seeing their picture on one of these sites must be almost nil.
So…I have taken someones picture, they do not know I have done it and they never see it neither does anyone who knows them and there is no name attached to it. Have I really invaded their privacy, have they suffered anything?
People are part of the make up of this world, we are so different to look at, in looks, age and the way time has changed us, the clothes we wear, colour, expression and in many other small ways. Then there are the many different things we do that add to the interest, you can see why pictures of people are so interesting.
We can look at a picture and try to imagine what they might be called, do for a living or what sort of person they are.
In an odd way I think that many people would quite like to think that their face may stay on the internet for ever or that I thought that there was something about them that made me take their picture out of all the other people around.
Without these pictures we would not know what many historical people looked like or how they behaved.
Anyway, what ever the arguments may be I like to carry on doing it.
There are, of course, legal prohibitions in some countries, in the UK so long as they are in a public place and you are not harassing them, you can take their picture. You may get punched or abused but that is a chance you take.
Try it.

Every year, in the months of July and August, the people and communities of Yakurr set aside 32 days for communing, appeasing and feasting. The tradition is Ancient and has gone on for longer than any living Yakurr son or daughter can remember. The reason for all the merriment? None other the most revered festival LEBOKU!!!
Although new Yam Festivals are socio-cultural festivals that are recognized and celebrated across the diverse ethnic populations of cross River State. The scale and grandeur of LEBOKU distinguishes it and fully captures the cultural and tourism value of the event. Its significance lies in the importance the Yakurr people attach to Yam (a tuber that serves as food and is eaten in various forms), as the king of the crops.
Today, LEBOKU has also metamorphosed from simply celebrating Yam, to a season of great merriment, home-coming, stock-taking and deep reflections, especially for the ten communities that comprise Yakurr.
To the people of Yakurr, LEBOKU also represents a thanksgiving to God for the fertility of their land. This display of appreciation has great spiritual affinity with the cultural and historical antecedence of the Yakurr.
The activities during the festival buttress the people's strong belief that it is a combination of hard work and divine help that makes them successful, as well as providing succors during wars; blesses the people with wealth; provides the barren, with children and provides spiritual protection to those who seek help.
The specific dates for the celebration of the different aspects of LEBOKU are usually decided by the observation of the main phases of agriculture cycles and ceremonies, which makes the culture even more intriguing.
In addition, LEBOKU marks a period when the Yakurr tradition and culture are reprise and intercession is offered, especially for a moral order in the from of Ekeledi (folklore and maiden's dance that expresses the values of LEBOKU). The ceremonies tie in with the Christianity through a thanksgiving service, often held during the season of Yam harvest towards the end of the year.
The headquarters of the LEBOKU celebration is Ugep. Here the Bina (council of tradition rulers and custodians of culture, tradition and advisors to the Obol Lopon, Paramount Ruler of the Yakurr, converge to take decisions. The respective roles of the Bina (usually 23 of them) vary according to the social context and particular fields of competence with regards to specific functions or ritual. Deciding the date for the grand finale of LEBOKU is major function of the Bina and it is usually arrived at component of LEBOKU.
The general LEBOKU day celebration or grand finale is often preceded by several ceremonies and activities, some involving traditional processions

The school has just purchased a new piece of software called Infonic Document Manager that uses SQL 2005.
I have setup a scheduled task using ntbackup to do a full backup of the server. I need to stop the SQL from running when the backup is running so that it backs up the mdf and ldf files.
I have created a batch file to stop the SQL and another one to start it again.
I don't know how to combine the 3 so I have a scheduled task that runs the batch file to stop the SQL does a full backup then as soon as its finished it runs the batch file to start the SQL again.
any advice would be welcome

Matt and I are planning this year's pilgrimage to Norfolk to photograph the majestic Swallowtail butterflies.Swallowtail pic
Over the recent years weve discovered most of the hotspots and not spots. Would anyone be interested in joining up? There'll be plenty of other wildlife opportunities, birds and flowers to photograph but our main goal is the rare and beautiful English Swallowtail.
...Will be hoping to provide special access to a brilliant lesser known and non-public area
...Travel arrangements to be discussed. Depending on numbers we may arrange a mini bus so that we all travel as a group
...One weekend early June-tbc
Look forward to hearing from you
Hi Julian, depending on the dates I'm very interested in joining you.
Would really (REALLY!) love to make this but am flying out to Provence sat 5th June and return sat 19th June. If the dates change, I would love to come and can currently make it any time between 1st-4th June and also 20-25th June.
I am hoping to make it there some time in those dates myself anyway.
If I could I would Ade, you know that
Out of Interest Ade, are you chasing those Large Blues at a public access site? I know there was some lottery/raffle type scheme in place for one site where they had been introduced for access this year. I saw Large Blues for the first time in Switzerland last year and won't be going back early enough for them this year and would love to have a crack at some in the UK as I developed a bit of a soft spot for them last year. Enough to be considering a spring visit to Switzerland again next year.
Hi Ade and John
Sorry you can't make it for reasons specified. It would have been nice to have you with us photographing Swallowtails.
NB For anyone wanting to travel any distance, and this is to whom the trip is aimed at, there would I'm sure be some nice B+B's or guesthouses to stay at. Matt and I will be doing this too. As mentioned in the original post, the visit will take place over a weekend and thus willl encompass two days out in the wilds, so an overnight is a must for people not living close and wanting to do both days.
We'll probably arrange for a picnic lunch on one or both days so that we can stay on site as much as possible.
Maybe I'll try and get there 3rd/4th and get them a bit fresher instead
Pity the dates don't work out for me as It would have been goot to meet up with a couple of EPZ's finest butterfliers and also get some expert advice on the site and access to some more restrcited areas.
It wouldn't surprise me if you do
Its always going to be difficult to get everyone together but maybe we can investigate some other meets during the year? We'll certainly do the Swallowtails again next year at the very least. I can't go a year without visiting those beauties!
Hi Matt & Julian - I would love to join in if at all posssible - only comming back from SA on the 6th though but any weekend in June after that would be good for me and Graham (aka Gray-ina) don't know how much photography Graham will do but he will certainly be coming with me. Regards Ina
Hi Julian and Matt, I booked a week's holiday in Norfolk from Saturday 29th May to Friday 4th June specifically to photograph Swallowtails so, yes I'd definitely be interested! I know it is slightly on the early side but I work in a school and this is our half-term holiday. The following week would have been better but that I cannot do. If you were to make your Swallowtail Safari on the 5th and 6th I could get a B&B for the Saturday night and head for home on Sunday evening. I've never seen the species and it would be such a treat, I'd love to see them.
Dear Ina and Sherie,
We are now confirming that the dates for the tour are Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th June. I am very sorry that you won't be able to make it Ina but this weekend has turned out to be the only one Julian and I can make as we both have other things going on the following weekend.
We'll definitely be doing this again next year too, so if you are interested for that let us know and we'll keep you on a shortlist and keep in touch to make arrangements. It will be a similar time (early June).
Can everyone who would like to join us for a day (or both) that weekend please confirm ASAP please, either here or with a private message.
Many thanks and enjoy your weekend everyone!

a-amino-b-[p-hydroxyphenyl]-propionic acid
Please note that this section reports on claims that have NOT yet been substantiated through scientific studies.
Tyrosine has been said to improve mood and be useful in treating depression, anxiety, narcolepsy (a sleep disorder), and insomnia.
Tyrosine reportedly can help suppress appetite, reduce body fat, and stimulate the release of human growth hormone (HGH).
It has also been used to treat some allergies.
Amino acids (AAs) are available as individual AAs or in proprietary AA combinations, as well as part of multi-vitamin formulas, proteins, and food supplements. The forms include tablets, fluids, and powders. However, adequate protein in the diet should provide a sufficient source of all amino acids.
People with phenylketonuria (PKU) typically require tyrosine supplementation since they are unable to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine.
The use of a single amino acid supplement may lead to negative nitrogen balance, decreasing the metabolic efficiency and increasing the workload of the kidneys. In children, taking single amino acid supplements may also harmfully affect growth parameters.
Always avoid taking individual amino acids in high dosage for prolonged periods.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use tyrosine supplements.
People who have melanoma (pigmented type) or tyrosinemia type I or II should not take tyrosine supplements.
People with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) should talk with a physician before taking tyrosine supplements.
Tyrosine should not be taken in conjunction with antidepressants belonging to the class of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.

If your child will be attending school out of town on a regular basis, there is no doubt that it will be a big change for everyone in the beginning. And though there may be some times that your child will be a bit homesick and you as a parent will doubt your choice to have your child so far away from you, the benefits of attending a private or boarding school in another area provide a solid structure and educational background that can prove priceless for their future.
BoardingSchoolReview.com suggests that boarding schools can help teach your child to be responsible and learn life lessons. In addition, they will be offered some of the best academic opportunities, with small classes, top-notch teachers, well-stocked media centers and libraries, and be surrounded by exceptional arts and sports programs.
Peace of Mind
If your child will be away from home for extended periods of time at school, it is a good idea to have an identity protection service, such as Lifelock, in place. Knowing that your child's identity and personal information is secure with a security service can give you peace of mind knowing your child securely is protected from identity theft while away from home. A company like Lifelock will protect your child's information at home or away.
For your child to take advantage of these educational opportunities, it is often necessary for them to travel to school, which sometimes means they will need to travel alone. The children often adapt better to their solo travel than the parents do. Fox News ran down some tips for parents of children traveling alone to help make sure your child is safe and your worries are eased.
Constant Contact
If possible, equip your child with a cell phone for use during their solo travel. It is also a good idea to prepare them with a backup plan of a calling card and also the knowledge of how to make collect calls, in case there is an issue with the cell phone. When they get to their school and housing, setting up instant messaging or Skype will definitely keep you in contact as they study away from home.
Contact and Flight Information
It is imperative that your child has a list with all of the flight and contact information pertinent for the trip. This should include name, phone number and address for whoever is picking them up when they land, as well as their flight number, destination, and your contact information. Make sure the children know their flight information, itinerary, and contact info of the person they will be meeting when they reach their final destination.
Flight Selection
Early morning flights are the best for children traveling alone, as they are typically not delayed. In addition, direct flights make the most sense because this ensures no issues with connections or delays.
Allowing your child to fly solo requires a lot of faith in your child and the airlines, but with a little planning and using some helpful tips, you and your child should be able to properly navigate the solo travel situation in no time. Keeping stress low is key for both you and your child.
