I can confirm Eric's outburst detection of HW Boo...

May 13.181   17.33V
    14.308   16.27V
    17.019   14.72V

AAVSO-net SRO-50 telescope.

The light curve for HW Boo resembles that of an IP rather than a UGSU
(quite like DO Dra in fact).  Very short duration outbursts and 
a highly variable quiescence.  The Porb is rather short, but it's
not unique for an IP to have a short orbital period.

regards,
Gary
