Hillsborough attorney says Quesada investigation active, aggressive
Home of Eduardo and Sonia Quesada at 7 Proclamation Ct., Bedford. The Quesadas were badly injured in a home invasion assault on Nov. 24. (KATHRYN MARCHOCKI/UNION LEADER) |
BEDFORD - Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia M. LaFrance assured residents progress is being made toward solving the apparent home invasion in which a Bedford anesthesiologist and his wife were brutally attacked 12 weeks ago.
"Bedford police and state police are making progress along with consultation with my office," LaFrance said in a telephone interview Friday.
"We do have a sense of what happened. However, we are not prepared to share that at this time," LaFrance added.
She revealed little about the crimes, would not specify progress being made nor attempt to ease public concern over the Nov. 24 home invasion at 7 Proclamation Court that left Dr. Eduardo W. Quesada, 52, and his wife, Sonia Quesada, 29, seriously injured.
"I'm not prepared at this time to give out any more information at the risk of jeopardizing a future prosecution," LaFrance said.
"I realize it's very frustrating for people and scary," LaFrance said.
"My first obligation, the chief's first obligation, is obviously to find the person or persons responsible for committing this crime. We owe that to Dr. and Mrs. Quesada. We owe that to the people of Bedford to put their minds at ease," she said.
Officials don't know if the Quesadas' house was targeted and still are trying to determine who the suspect or suspects are, she said.
She urged residents to take "normal precautions" and not "be paralyzed by fear."
The criminal investigation into the Nov. 24 home invasion is active and aggressive, she said.
Six weeks after the home invasion, police found Sonia Quesada dead and Dr. Quesada unconscious at his mother's 49 Kensington Lane home in Bedford. There was a large amount of prescription medication in the room.
"We are looking at them as two completely separate investigations with the obvious exception that they involved the same people," LaFrance said.
The state Medical Examiner's office has not yet determined cause and manner of Sonia Quesada's death, but has said it does not appear to be homicide. They are waiting for toxicological tests results, which could take at least eight weeks.
LaFrance would not say if a suicide note was found at the 49 Kensington Lane condominium or whether the couple had legitimate prescriptions for the drugs found there.
While the probe into Sonia Quesada's death is ongoing, LaFrance said "I'm not sure I would characterize it as a criminal investigation. ... We would call it an untimely death."

Read moreHi Kaddi. Sorry. I hadn't fully appreciated your question initially. Obviously, I can't speak on behalf of the World Scout Committee, so you would need to ask the Chairman/SG directly if you wanted to know for sure. My understanding is that this was, at least in part, a reaction to the recent passing of legislation regarding homosexuality in Uganda. From my perspective it is disappointing that this has not yet been made clear in introducing the context of the statement as I believe was agreed. The Human Rights Task Force (of which I am a member) provided its advice to WSC at their request on this matter amongst other things. It almost goes without saying, of course, that the matter in Uganda is of course far from the only consideration for Scouting in respect of Human Rights and I think the statement is right to make clear that the stance does not only apply to a specific instance or issue. Our posture and approach in Scouting is as an educational Movement based on clear values and principles, not as a campaigning or advocacy organisation. HRTF has also been working on its report to the World Scout Conference which was also reviewed and accepted at the recent WSC meeting. This proposes developments in our approach to Human Rights Education and suggests strengthening our policy position to make even clearer that WOSM and NSOs should respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights and make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses. I do hope this helps you. Best wishes, Dan Translate

For a bit less than 100 you get NV GTX 550 Ti or for a bit more you get NV GTX 560 SE. A Core2 E4500 at stock speed is a bit slow however, if you could oc it it would be better. But do prime95 test to verify stability. Do not oc ram.
Hi, it's my first post here
Here's the situation. I switched from XP to Ubuntu and I'm really happy about it but my experience (which was already just about "correct" on XP) in the only game I play (StarCraft 2) is now really critic in 4v4 format.
Here is the heart of my PC :
Motherboard = ASUS P5N-E SLI NVIDIA NFORCE 650I SLI C55
Graphic card = ASUS VGA EN8600GT SILENT/HTDP/256M
Do you think a <100 graphic card could give me the little boost I need ? I'm not entirely sure about it as my CPU is also in concern to my mind. Yet, it is out of the question to change CPU because the motherbord is already obsolete (but for now, I have no use of USB 3.0, SATA 3.0, PCI E 3.0, etc.). Moreover, you can anderstand I don't want to renew MB+CPU+RAM just for a game. So, the problem is : Is a new graphic card would give me more FPS even with an already very busy CPU ? I heard the GPU load the CPU.. so I wonder if it would really be a good thing to put a 2-3X more powerful graphic card on a CPU already crowded in SC2. And just as a note, I heard too that SC2 was a very CPU focused game. It is particularly true for me because I use low settings (easier to anderstand what's going on => pro-gamer style ).
If the answer is yes, then I'd like to know about a fanless graphic card well supported on Ubuntu that could do the trick !
I already had a look and wonder about those :
HIS H667PS1G iSilence 4 - Radeon HD6670 - 1024 Mo
Thank you for your support !
For a bit less than 100 you get NV GTX 550 Ti or for a bit more you get NV GTX 560 SE. A Core2 E4500 at stock speed is a bit slow however, if you could oc it it would be better. But do prime95 test to verify stability. Do not oc ram.
I'll try that ! Thank you
Display driver is necessary for your graphic card to work. If you are having any problem with your graphic card then one of the first things that you must do is to download the latest display driver for your computer and then uninstall the old and reinstall the latest downloaded drivers.
What FPS do you get in SC2? What graphics settings do you use (especially resolution)? Did you follow Starcraft 2 winehq tips and tricks?
After the recent changes (in both SC2 and Mesa/Radeon) I get ~ 40FPS in Starcraft 2 consistently troughout the game (starts at 60 and then tails off). Minimum settings in everything, but 1920x1080 resolution. The processor is AMD Athlon II X2 255 - not a very good one - and the GPU is AMD Juniper (HD6750).
You can see FPS in SC2 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F.

Burgos takes on Cubs in big league debut
Hiram Burgos has already represented Puerto Rico in this year's World Baseball Classic, so forgive the 25-year-old if he doesn't feel too nervous as he readies for his Major League debut.
Burgos, Milwaukee's 2012 Minor League pitcher of the year and the club's No. 13 prospect according to MLB.com, takes the ball Saturday night in Milwaukee against the Cubs.
Edwin Jackson, Chicago's top free-agent acquisition this offseason, opposes Burgos and is still searching for his first win as a Cub.
Burgos had quite a year in the Brewers organization last season, combining to go 10-4 with a 1.95 ERA at three different levels. That effort earned him a spot on Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, where he allowed one run and struck out 12 in three relief appearances spanning 13 innings.
That experience, Burgos believes, will help settle any butterflies he might have Saturday.
"That was the biggest stage I was on before," Burgos said. "I always say, 'It's the same baseball no matter where you are, whether you're here or the Minor Leagues.' The crowd is the only thing that changes."
His skipper agrees.
"I think going through the WBC probably helped him a lot with what's going to happen [Saturday]," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Those were some big games that he was involved in, and he pitched really well. I think he's going to be fine."
The Cubs and Jackson are hoping the Chicago righty pitches well, too, as he has struggled with his new squad. Jackson has a 6.06 ERA in three starts, one of which came against the Brewers in Chicago's home opener on April 8.
Jackson has finished six innings just once this season, and while he's allowing runs at a high rate, he has thus far avoided the long ball. Jackson hasn't surrendered a home run after giving up 23 last season with the Nationals.
Cubs: We're going streaking!
• Shortstop Starlin Castro went 1-for-4 on Friday to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. It's Castro's eighth hitting streak of 10-or-more games since 2011, tying him with Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano for the most such streaks in the Majors in that time.
• Left fielder Alfonso Soriano also has a five-game hitting streak in which he's batting .524.
• Soriano needs two doubles for 200 with the Cubs. He would become the 30th Cub to reach the mark.
• Dioner Navarro is three hits shy of 500 for his career.
Brewers: It starts with pitching
• Burgos follows a string of strong outings by Brewers starters, who have seven quality starts in the last nine games after posting only one in the first six.
The bullpen also is getting in the mix, going 3-0 with a 1.33 ERA and three saves in that stretch.
• Left fielder Ryan Braun needs two homers to tie Gordon Thomas (208) for fourth place on the club's all-time list.
Worth noting
• Milwaukee is 16-2 in its last 18 games against Cubs at Miller Park, including a six-game home winning streak.
• Jackson is 3-3 with a 3.57 ERA in eight starts starts against the Brewers. Braun (.318, 7-for-22) and Jonathan Lucroy (.357, 5-for-14) have hit him well.
• The Cubs are batting .144 with runners in scoring position. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has been hot in such situations, hitting .478 in their last four games.

Lyles trying to continue hot hurling vs. Rockies
Righty to square off against southpaw De La Rosa in Houston
The Astros had high expectations for Jordan Lyles when they took him in the first round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft. The right-hander moved quickly through the Minors, debuting as a 20-year-old in '11.
Lyles, now 22, has not tasted much success at the big league level since then, with a career 5.22 ERA. That includes a 5.40 mark in five outings this season, but Lyles has been solid his last two times on the mound.
Lyles, who will take the ball against the Rockies on Tuesday afternoon, has held the opposition to two earned runs in 11 innings over that span. Astros manager Bo Porter said he expects Lyles to continue to pitch well.
"I believe he will," Porter said. "Jordan Lyles has shown signs of being the guy we believe he can be. He's had a couple of starts that haven't been so good, but I believe he has the stuff to be a front-of-the-rotation starter, and we're going to give him every opportunity to prove that."
Lyles will square off against Jorge De La Rosa as the teams wrap up a brief two-game set at Minute Maid Park, which precedes their two games at Coors Field. The Astros took a 12-inning walk-off win on Monday, snapping a three-game losing streak and handing the Rockies their third straight defeat.
De La Rosa (6-3, 3.40 ERA) has allowed one or no runs in three of his four starts this month, winning all four. On Wednesday, he held the D-backs to one run on six hits over 5 1/3 innings, throwing a season-high 103 pitches.
The left-hander is now about two years removed from Tommy John surgery, and he feels he's closing in on the form he showed in winning 16 games in 2009, his last full season.
"I'm there," De La Rosa said after his most recent outing. "I think I can get a little more strength in my arm, but I can't complain. My velocity is very good right now, and my breaking stuff is working. I'm glad to feel the way I feel right now."
Rockies: Cuddyer still on the mend
Outfielder Michael Cuddyer returned from the disabled list this past weekend, only to be hit by a pitch on his right wrist on Sunday.
The veteran didn't start on Monday but was summoned as a pinch-hitter and logged two plate appearances in the Rockies' 3-2, 12-inning loss.
"I was wanting to stay away from Cuddy, but he was swinging during the game and convinced me that he was OK," manager Walt Weiss said. "For me, he was going to be a last resort. ... He's doing well, but it's still swollen. It's always tough when you have an injury down around your hand or your wrist. That makes it difficult to swing the bat."
Astros: Struggling Carter gets rest
Chris Carter did not play on Monday, a decision Porter made mostly to get Trevor Crowe into the lineup, but also because Carter has been struggling. The 26-year-old is 8-for-42 (.190) with one double, no homers and 20 strikeouts over his past 12 games.
For the season, Carter leads the Majors with 74 strikeouts while hitting .219 with a .302 on-base percentage.
"He's figuring out himself and the league and what they're trying to do to him," Porter said. "We know the power potential is there. You do want more consistent contact as time goes on, and Chris is going to get all those things figured out, and we're going to be patient and allow him to figure those things out."
Worth noting
• Todd Helton, who was out of Monday's lineup, entered the day with a .357 career average at Minute Maid Park, his highest at any stadium where he has at least 50 at-bats. He also has eight homers and 24 RBIs there, although he's currently stuck in a 3-for-26 slump.
• The Astros have a 30-12 record against the Rockies at Minute Maid Park, Houston's best against any opponent at the stadium.

Struggling Giants, Padres square off at Petco Park
Bumgarner gets the call for San Francisco; Marquis starts for San Diego
When the Giants and Padres wrapped up a three-game series on June 19, San Francisco was in second place by 1 1/2 games in a hotly contested National League West, while San Diego was three games back.
Everything since has been a struggle, as both teams limp into a four-game series in San Diego to close out the season's first half.
The Giants took two of three from the Padres in their most recent meeting, but that was the last time San Francisco won a series. Including the recent sweep at the hands of the Mets, the Giants are 3-16 in their last 19 games, having lost eight of the last nine to fall a season-high seven games back in the division.
Meanwhile, the Padres snapped a 10-game losing streak on Tuesday but lost again Wednesday night and sit even with the Giants -- 10 games below .500.
"It's not exaggerated. When you're going through a streak, it wears on you mentally as much as physically," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's been a daily issue. We're playing and there's a lot of faith we'll get out of this."
Seemingly everything that can go wrong has for the Giants, who saw Matt Cain fail to make it out of the first inning for the first time in 254 career starts on Wednesday. Citing a play in Tuesday's game when Gregor Blanco hit a hard liner that could have scored a run but was instead caught and turned into a double play, Bochy said luck hasn't been on the Giants' side and some of his guys are pressing to make things happen.
"I couldn't be prouder of how the guys have handled [the struggles]," Bochy said. "They want to come out of this. Sometimes it takes a little longer than you like."
On Thursday, the Giants will turn to left-hander Madison Bumgarner, who pitched in San Francisco's only win in the last nine games. The Padres will look to right-hander Jason Marquis as they try to put a winning streak together heading into the All-Star break.
Padres: Marquis takes fifth attempt at 10th win
Jason Marquis has been sitting on nine wins since he beat the D-backs on June 15. When he takes the hill for the Padres on Thursday, he'll look for win No. 10 against a team he's already defeated once this season.
As part of a three-game sweep over the Giants in April, Marquis surrendered two runs and scattered six hits and four walks across 6 2/3 innings against San Francisco for his second win of the season. Since collecting his ninth win, the 34-year-old right-hander is 0-2 with a 4.37 ERA in four starts.
Most recently, Marquis gave up three runs on eight hits and three walks in a no-decision against the Nationals. He was line for the win after his six innings of work before the bullpen squandered a late lead.
• Padres manager Bud Black announced Wednesday that Sean O'Sullivan will start Friday's game. O'Sullivan, who went to Valhalla High School in El Cajon, is 7-4 with a 3.88 ERA this season for Triple-A Tucson.
Giants: Bumgarner seeks third straight win
Although the Giants haven't been able to win back-to-back games since June 18-19 against the Padres, Madison Bumgarner will look for his third straight victory on Thursday.
Bumgarner delivered one of his best outings of the season on Saturday, limiting the Dodgers to two runs and three hits in seven innings in a 4-2 win. The 23-year-old also fanned nine, falling one strikeout short of his fourth double-digit strikeout game of the season.
Bumgarner has won five of his last six decisions, including a win over the Padres on June 19, when he went seven innings and surrendered two runs on three hits and four walks.
• The Giants could get a boost this weekend from reliever Santiago Casilla, who said on Wednesday that he expects to come off the disabled list on Thursday and travel with the team to San Diego. Casilla has been on the DL since May after having surgery to remove a cyst from his right knee.
Casilla built a 1.89 ERA in 21 appearances before hitting the DL, and San Francisco has struggled without its go-to setup man.
• Hunter Pence will need some help if he wants to make his way onto the NL All-Star team. One of five players chosen for the league's Final Vote, Pence ranked third behind the Braves' Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig as of the third update on Wednesday morning. Voting ends at 1 p.m. PT on Thursday.
Worth noting
• Thursday marks the beginning of the fourth series of the season between the Padres and Giants, with San Francisco going 5-4 in the first nine games. The Padres swept the previous series in San Diego.
• The Giants enter Thursday with 21 runs scored in July, the fewest for any team in the Majors.

The Oakland Press (
Cheesecake Factory coming to Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi this year, will be Michigan's first
By MEGAN SEMERAZ
Friday, February 22, 2013
Popular restaurant "The Cheesecake Factory" will be opening its first Michigan location right in Oakland County.
The new restaurant will open inside Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, according to Bloomfield Hills-based mall owners Taubman Centers, Inc.
The location is expected to open later this year, and will feature a full-service restaurant, bakery and bar.
"Having grown up in Detroit and watched my parents start their cheesecake business here in the 1950s, opening a Cheesecake Factory at Twelve Oaks feels like a true homecoming," said David Overton, founder and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory.
With more than 250 menu selections, the chain is known for its extensive menu, generous portions and desserts.
The Cheesecake Factory can be found in nearly three dozen states.
The 8,430-square-foot restaurant will accommodate approximately 225 guests and another 60 on the patio.
Its distinctive décor will feature French limestone floors and decorative columns, hand-painted murals, contemporary lighting and an abundance of cherry wood.

Packers WR Driver to retire
Announcement to come Feb. 6
Published 11:15 AM CST Jan 31, 2013
Driver finishes his 14-year career with 743 catches for 10,137 yards and 61 touchdowns. He was used sparingly in 2012, finishing with only eight catches for 77 yards, and he was inactive for six of the team's final eight games.

Maholm aims to start strong facing Doc, Phils
After struggling early last season, Braves left-hander Paul Maholm understands just how important it is to begin the 2013 season strong.
That's why Maholm has put extra focus on starting this season out well.
"You want to get off on the right foot. I know last year I got shelled in two straight starts to begin the year," Maholm said. "No matter if you throw a shutout or get bombed, you've got to take it like you've got 30-plus starts and you'll have good ones and bad ones. You've got the itch to get out there and see where you're at."
Maholm dominated in his final spring innings, not allowing an earned run in his final 20 1/3 frames.
Maholm will make his first start of the season on Wednesday night at Turner Field against a revamped Phillies lineup that not only includes Ben Revere and Michael Young, but Domonic Brown as the everyday left fielder.
Coming into Spring Training as a more relaxed, mature player, the 25-year-old Brown showed just how much he's grown with a solid debut on Opening Day. He finished Monday's game going 1-for-3 with a walk.
"It just feels good," Brown said. "I feel like I'm in a good spot and I'm learning just as much as I can about the game. I keep learning every day, and that's all I can do."
As Brown continues to progress, all eyes will still be on Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay come Wednesday.
After a disappointing 2012 season and an up-and-down Spring Training, Halladay will try to start this season against the Braves on the right foot.
However, that could be a difficult task after going 0-2 with a 11.21 ERA in four starts against Atlanta last season.
Phillies: Revere leads off, Rollins bats second
Revere was the Phillies' leadoff hitter in Monday's Opening Day game against the Braves, while Jimmy Rollins hit second.
The Revere-Rollins order creates a break in left-handed hitters with Revere, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard.
"I decided that I would try it awhile," manager Charlie Manuel said. "I've got more options in my lineup than I had at this time last year. We've got more speed in our lineup. We've got a few more patient hitters and guys that work the count."
However, Manuel would not say how long he would keep Revere in the top spot.
Braves: Chipper throws out first pitch
Chipper Jones threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Brian McCann before the Opening Day game.
This season marks the first time since 1995 that Jones has not been the centerpiece of the Braves' lineup.
"It's weird," Jones said sitting on the bench during batting practice. "It is what it is. I miss it today. But I won't miss it tomorrow."
Worth noting
• In his first career game with the Phillies on Monday, Young went 0-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout.
• Braves catcher Evan Gattis, who is sharing time behind the plate with Gerald Laird, is expected to make his first start on Wednesday.

Mikoto Uchiha (うちはミコト, Uchiha Mikoto) was a jōnin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure's Uchiha clan.
After marrying Fugaku Uchiha, she settled down to become a housewife, raising their two sons Itachi and Sasuke. Just before her friend Kushina Uzumaki gave birth, she met with her and introduced Sasuke to her, and Biwako Sarutobi who noted that they had named him after the Third Hokage's father. She agreed with Kushina's hopes that their sons would become friends, and after Kushina asked whether or not childbirth was painful, Mikoto laughed, having found the one thing that Kushina was seemingly afraid of.[3]
During the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha, Itachi noted that she and Fugaku weren't at home, before the beast struck. What she was doing is currently unknown.[4]
When the massacre of the clan was being carried out, and Itachi confronted her and Fugaku, she knelt alongside her husband, putting up no resistance. When their son tried to explain himself, she simply told him that she understood before allowing a distraught Itachi to kill them.[5] This would later prompt Sasuke to want to avenge her death along with that of the rest of the clan's.
Mikoto was a very gentle and kind woman, but could also be stern and strict when she needed to be, as seen when Itachi came back from the Academy, telling Sasuke that he had homework. She loved and cared about her sons deeply, and knew how to help them with their problems. Mikoto cared for and also held high respect for her husband as well and understood the importance of his position as the Uchiha clan leader and was a dutiful and loyal wife to him. She also gave Sasuke advice and tried to reassure him about Itachi. She was a very good mother, seeing as how Sasuke was able to talk to her better than his father. At one point, in order to cheer Sasuke up, she says that when she and Fugaku are alone, Sasuke is all he talked about. Although she was Itachi's mother, she, like other clan members, grew suspicious of his strange behaviour toward the end, but regardless of that, she still cared deeply about her son, offering comforting words before allowing herself and her husband to be killed by Itachi.[5]
Mikoto was a fair-skinned woman with long, black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face to roughly frame her cheeks and black eyes. She wore a simple dark purple blouse with a red-plum skirt and a light-yellow apron over it. In Kushina's flashback, she was shown to be wearing a brown blouse similar to the purple one she wore, a dark purple skirt, blue shinobi sandals and the bangs on either side of her face were shown to be considerably longer.[3]
While little is known of her career as a kunoichi, while she was on active duty, she held the rank of jōnin, a testament to her great skills.[1] In the anime, she offered to help Sasuke with his shuriken training, which could imply that she was competent with shurikenjutsu.[6]
- In the character introduction of the Viz Media translation of volume 25, instead of the name "Mikoto," she is simply credited as "Sasuke's Mother".
- Mikoto (尊) means 'precious' and 'nobility' and is used as a title for Japanese gods.
- At the end of Naruto: Shippūden episode 252 in an omake called Rock Lee's Silly Chronicles, Mikoto can be seen standing next to her husband and, Itachi, watching, Sasuke and other characters play a game of baseball. Kushina, Minato and Jiraiya were also seen watching the game.
- Mikoto's name was likely inspired by the mythological god Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who wielded the Sword of Totsuka. Both of her sons, Sasuke and Itachi, would later be able to use Susanoo with Itachi's wielding the Sword of Totsuka.
- (To Sasuke) "That's not it… Your father is the representative of the whole clan… If the clan is in a bad position, he must protect it. Itachi is the older of the two of you… The job of looking after the clan must be left to him… Your father is the supervisor of that job so that's probably why he pays more attention to your brother… But the conversations in here alone… When your father talks to me, he only talks about you… and because of that… he's always awkward with you."[7]
- (To Kushina and Biwako about Sasuke's name) "Yes. So he grows up to be a strong, splendid shinobi."[8]

I have enjoyed the monthly challenges. I had a lot of fun thinking up different ways to make pizzas for whatever the monthly challenges were. It will be sad to see these monthly challenges pass, but I can understand it is hard to come up with new ideas for a monthly challenge each month.

I was really hopeful about this ring. I have a double halo engagement ring and was looking for something that would sit nicely alongside it without actually wrapping because I don't like the ring wrap look. The shape and width of this ring was perfect, it's dainty and delicate and the curve really gives it something unique. The diamonds however, leave much to be desired. They were mostly grey, not very sparkly, and really made the whole ring look cheap. If you're looking for good, small sparkly white diamonds, this isn't it. I would recommend spending a little more on something with better specs! Customer service was amazing though, returned for a refund with free return shipping, hassle free would not hesitate to shop jewelry on Overstock again!
Returned ring....worst thing ever purchased on O. Usually very happy with purchases.
The image makes this ring appear larger on the hand than it actually is. The biggest issue is not the top of the ring, but that it gets thinner toward the underside, which makes it feel very unstable. I was afraid it would bend way too easily, plus I just was not impressed.
Beautiful! Compliments my engagement right perfectly which the enhancer curves as well, it hugs it perfectly! If you are looking for dainty and curved this is the one!!
After ordering two other rings I know know how to order on the site. I am still disappointed about the other two rings.

A seizure is a sudden change in behavior. It is caused by sudden, abnormal, and excessive electrical activity in the brain. A neonatal seizure occurs in newborn babies.
Seizures may be severe or mild. They may cause physical changes like convulsions. It may affect only part of the body or the entire body. A short seizure itself does not cause serious health conditions. Prolonged seizures can lead to permanent damage. The damage is due to decreased oxygen and excessive brain cell activity.
There are a variety of causes of seizures in children, which include:
Sometimes seizures occur for unknown reasons.
Factors that may increase your child's risk of having a seizure include:
Seizure symptoms may include:
If you suspect your child is having a seizure, act quickly:
Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may be done to look for the cause of the seizure.
Tests to look for infections may include the following:
Tests to look for abnormalities in brain may include:
Treatment for the seizures depends on the cause of the seizures. Some seizures will not require treatment. If the seizure is caused by an underlying condition your child's doctor will create a plan to treat that condition. Resolving the underlying condition will likely stop the seizures.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. You may also be referred to a pediatric neurologist.
Anticonvulsant medication can help to prevent seizures. The medication that is used will depend on the type of seizure. These medications do have some side effects. As a result, they are often only used for severe or frequent seizures.
Medications are not usually prescribed for febrile seizures. These seizures are associated with a rapid increase in temperature due to a fever. Children will outgrow these seizures by about 5 years of age. They are rarely associated with long term problems so anticonvulsant medication is rarely recommended.
Some severe seizures may be treated with brain surgery. This may occur in some children with epilepsy. During this type of surgery certain nerve fibers may be separate or a section of the brain may be removed. This surgery may help to reduce or eliminate seizures. Surgery is not done very often.
If your newborn is diagnosed with neonatal seizures, follow your doctor's instructions .
Medicine, if recommended, can usually prevent seizures. It is important to take anticonvulsant medication as needed.
Febrile seizures are may be the first sign of a fever. This can make it difficult to prevent. About 30% of children that have had a febrile seizure will have another seizure when they have a fever. Your doctor may advise that you give your child medicine to keep fever down whenever he/she gets sick. Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye's syndrome. Ask your doctor which other medicines are safe for your child.
Seizures can still happen despite treatment. Take the safety steps listed above if you notice your child's behavior changing.

Yes! Shiny Lotad hatched after 1,099 eggs with shiny charm. Ironically this is my longest mm successful hunt ever and all of my successful mm shinies were hatched on White version without the shiny charm. It is female and it's ability is Rain Dish and it likes to relax. It also has Timid nature which is a really good nature for Lotad according to Smogon.

So first off Congrats on all the shinies since my last post. There has been a lot. Congrats to TheMaster on finally getting ducklett, City for the very lucky 4 in a day, Dizzy on the legends, Draknir on your LG BQ progress, Danger and Bluemiracle on the charmanders and ShinyLord on Lotad I love its shiny colouring. And congrats to those I missed and didn't list.
No new shiny for me so just some updates. First I am up to 4,882 encounters for my first W2 BQ in floccessy ranch. I have hatched 810 eggs for my cyndaquil hunt in my B2 with SC. On my Black I have hatched 210 eggs in my hunt for oshawatt. I've done a further 22hrs of hunting on my HG BQ for BQ#4. I've spent approx 14hrs SRing for Teping on my white and I've tallied up 28hrs on my Diamond and Platinum budew hunt in eterna forest.
Not sure if I will complete the CH this month as I'm going away next week to visit family and I'm not sure how much time I'll have to hunt while I'm gone. I'm also unsure If I'll be doing next months CH as I won't have net access while away so won't find out what it is until I get back. Good luck to everyone on your hunts.

All I can say to everyones' luck and determination is that I am a long ways away from being a good hunter. Out of every CH Hunt and beating the odds, I still haven't claimed any new shinies. I hope this is my month.
Congrats to Daisy on the Turtwig, Victor on Vulpix, Crimson on Koffing, Draknir on Abra, Dangertrout on Charmander, Bluemiracle on Charmander as well, and Shiny Lord on Lotad.
I did another 200 SRs for Piplup today, bringing me to 900 SRs total in this hunt. It's actually kind of going quicker than I thought! However, that'll change in the next 2 days, since I'll probably only be able to get about 50 SRs in the morning for both days before I have to work, and I'll probably come home fairly exhausted, eat dinner, check some stuff online, and go to bed :x Still, it hopefully means I'll hit the 1k mark within a week's time from starting!
I was also going to try to do ~50 REs for Eevee tonight once I finished SRing for the night, but I was feeling pretty tired, and since I've gotten about 5-6 hours the past few nights, I figured I should go to bed a bit earlier tonight instead. Still, it'd be really nice to get Eevee first. I'd like Umbreon to be my first finished hunted pokemon as it's my favorite pokemon and looks awesome shiny...And once I get going on my BQ, I'd really rather just focus on that. So maybe I'll get lucky and end up finding Eevee soon. But I still have that feeling that Eevee's cursed for me ;_;
Good luck, everyone

Hello everyone. Wow there has been so many new shinies since i last posted here. I have been taking a break from shiny hunting for a few weeks as i had no luck with the CH or with REing and i had gotten 5 new shinies by REing since Christmas Eve. I went back to Conquest but i am now ready to get back to MMing for the CH.
So Congratulations to ALL newly gained shinies everyone. I hope your luck continues.
Shinies are good.
Ugh, I've been hardcore MMing for Miltank and nothing yet >.< 1530 eggs and I just wish it would shine already. It seems the shinies I like the most take the longest lol.. but once it finally decides to shine I'm gonna take a break from hunting to Ev train my last few shinies. Gratz on the recent shinies definitely that Lotad! I planned to MM that also and good luck everyone!

An hour ago I was in the middle of training on Route 13 and all of a sudden shiny Audino appeared! Caught it with a critical capture. I believe it's a sign of luck, and boy will I need it next week on my exams
Good luck with your hunts!

Wow, so many new shines again...congrats to DizzyCobraMew on Terrakion/Registeel, Master on finally getting that tricky Ducklett and Watchog, City on both Tyrogue and FOUR shinies in one day (Seriously what luck! XD), Rakurai on Sableye, Draknir on Jigglypuff/Magikarp/Abra, cocoa on Eevee/Buneary, Jonny7197 on Chikorita/Deerling, YNCRN on Rufflet, gustavo on Rhyhorn/Basculin, supersmew on Chingling, Mime Senior on Tranquill, !jirachi! on Shuckle, Victor C on Vulpix, Crimson_Blazer on Koffing, Bluemiracle on Charmander, Dangertrout on another Charmander, Shiny Lord on Lotad and Cyada on Audino! *exhales*
Ah, thanks! :3 I've forgotten to say, but congrats on all your shiny Eevees! Hopefully another one shows up soon XD.
As for me, I actually haven't done any more on my hunts since last time XD. I've spent a lot of time trying to grow EV reducing berries on Soulsilver and fix up some of my Pokemon's sets, so I haven't really been bothered to do any SRing. I am thinking to start up my next hunt on SS soon though; either MMing for Bulbasaur or Eevee. I've wanted a shiny Bulbasaur for a while, but I recently remembered how much I've wanted to have a shiny Umbreon too <3. Both are gonna be part of the same team, so either one I go for first is fine. Shame you can't use everstone with MM in 4th Gen though... >.<.
Good luck everyone on your hunts! ^^
Congrats on the Charmander, the Lotad, and the Audino guys!
Told my friend who also plays Pokémon but more casually about my shiny hunt today. His face when I told him I'd hatchd 500 eggs. xDD
Continuing my hunt now. Wish me luck!

Ur... Uh... ???
Oh, my siggy. It mean's I'm hunting Chingling. Seriously wish I had a shiny Chingling though.Still a newb hunter.
Original Topic... *shuffles paper* Got to 102 SRs for Volcarona. And am now at around 43 eggs for my hidden hunt. JUST got a nursery, and I don't see the point o' it...
Shiny Volcarona is majestic :3
*goes to re-word siggy*
Congrats on the 2 charmanders, lotad and audino! Good work guys.
Tonight I got to the 9,000 mark in this hunt. Won't have much time to hunt this weekend but I kinda need the break anyway. Hopefully when I pick it up again it won't be too far away cos I'm getting bored of this little grassy patch now.
Good luck over the weekend folks.
Hey do you guys tend to use the shiny charm?
I'm thinking of starting up a RE hunt but I want to know if it's worth to start without the charm.
*May the shine be with you*
I'm always keen for battles, PM if you want

Thanks so much!
May the shine be with you!
Hey everybody!
A few weeks ago I decided to complete a living pokedex so can get the shiny charm on Black and White 2. My question is to those of you who got it how you did it and how you kept yourself motivated. Answers appreciated!
Current progress: Caught 112/649
It may not be much but I'm beginning with mostly Kanto first.
After I get the shiny charm, I'm planning on breeding a shiny adamant 31 attack ived Heracross hopefully with the ability guts.
Good luck and congratulations for all of the new shinies!
@ JohnNiles - Thank you! I think I'll use that method

@Ipodcheese: Depends on your tastes. There's nothing stopping you from REing and working on the charm at the same time. It hasn't paid off as well as I would've liked - out of 3934 eggs hatched (all but a hundred with the charm), only 1 shiny so far.
@Master 92 1/2: I broke it up into phases.
- main game
- post-game (including post-game routes, swarms, fishing, and suffering through trades with that celebrity)
- trade for version exclusives on GTS
- breed for earlier evolutions not available
- migrate from 4th gen games (including pokewalker).
- migrate legendaries (and traded for 2 because I was desperate)
After that, I was so exhausted that I took a break before going back to breeding. Currently hatched almost 2200 eggs for a Munchlax without success. -_-;;
Oh yeah, random observation- I am so jealous of the people who can devote most or all of their boxes to egg storage. I can't do it. I HAVE to fill them up with other things.
5 boxes for main playthrough and post-game
1 box for hatched/baby pokemon
1 box for fished pokemon
1 box to hold potential trades
1 box for N's pokemon and some random junk
1 box for Dittos and traded pokemon
1 box for pokemon used for breeding or resulting from breeding
1 box for my high-use pokemon
1 box for Dream World
1 box for Hidden Grotto and trades with whats his name, the celebrity
4 boxes, 1 apiece for the 4 previous regions
2 boxes for legendaries and shinies
And that leaves only 4 boxes for eggs. What's everyone else's setup? No need to spam, just put it in your usual posts.

I do pretty much what you do. By the end of White 2 I had all my boxes organised, 1 for N's Pokémon, 1 for shinies, 1 for legends etc. But hatching so many eggs to complete my National Dex has pushed Pokémon into the wrong boxes so I need to do a bit of a tidy up! Planning to trade some Pokémon, like my shinies and legends, to Black 2 when I've gotten shiny Snivy and made some progress in the game. Gives me more room on White 2 for breeding then :)
Back to regular updates, congrats to everyone who's found and hopefully caught a shiny since my last post a few days ago. Can't list them right now because sometimes a girls just too busy! But congrats all the same!
I took a couple days break from shiny hunting because I was feeling a bit burnt out and I wanted to play a couple of the game I got for Christmas since shiny huntings taken up so much of my time in January! But it paid off, first time EVER since I started hunting in 2009 (though I took a hiatus 2010-2012) that I've gotten 2 shinies in one month!
Started my Route 203 hunt today thanks to some great advice! Got a Wobbafett and a Diglett to use in case of a teleporting Shiny Abra! Originally caught the Wobbafett to use but found a Diglett in my box and though I may as well trade her over too and train her up in game (along with my shinies!) in case I get to a route with higher level escaping Pokémon! Wobbafett is just too hard to use in game, but since I caught him I traded him over as a back up! Also nabbed myself a Flaaffy with Static to try and boost my encounters with Shinx, since it's not only my most wanted shiny on the route, it also means more chance of Shinx = less chance of Bidoof.
Not counting so far, even though I planned to... Counting just makes me feel very stressed and demotivates me more than it motivates me usually. Though I may start counting tomorrow, only did about 20 RE's.
Also did a few Snivy's, about 30, I'm really motivated to get it but SRing does take a while so I feel like this hunt may take a month or 2, maybe more, unless I get super lucky with number of resets. It's a bit discouraging, but I've never really had a long hunt, longest being my just over a month long hunt at Village Bridge, which finally ended with Golduck. As for soft reset hunts, never had a hunt reach 10,000 SR yet, though I feel Latias may have been the only close one. Regardless, anyone here who's maybe had a hunt, SR or otherwise, that lasted over a month? Just hearing other peoples experiences tends to keep me focused :D
Regardless, starting Sunday I'm hoping to do at least 100 SR a day! Was originally 200 (which would make 1400 a week) but I feel as though that'll be too much for me, so I'll stick to 100 + as many extra as I can do :)
Good luck everyone on your hunts also!

Today...Ugh, today...Work. BLEH. I'll bite my tongue and suppress any potential anger at a coworker until I have a better idea of what actually happened, but I ended up having to switch my shift around (I covered his shift, someone else covered my original shift which was a different and better job)...So I was there from 11am until after 11:15pm, rather than getting out maybe around 10 or 10:30...I was kind of planning to just finish a few more SRs once I got home, but after I found out they needed me to cover this other guy, I kind of knew I'd be getting home to late to finish them.
So I did 75 SRs this morning =\ 975 total...Really wanted to hit that 1k mark by doing just 25 more tonight...I guess on the bright side, I still did 25 more than I planned on doing.
EDIT: Congrats on the Koffing, Shiny Lord!

@shiny lord so the shiny charm is worth the time to complete a full pokédex?
how long does it take to complete it? I already have 306 out of the 649 obtainted...
My fc: 4871 5236 8426
Dare to battle me?
I play smash bros too!
sadly I'm not online much...
Yes it is worth while to get the shiny Charm. I've done 2 successful mm's(only one went over odds and not by much) and I've gotten 4 successful random encounter shinies with it(3 of which took less than 1000 RE and all under the 1 in 2070 odds) I don't know if I'm just lucky or what. It took me I think 5 days to complete the pokedex. I just traded over or migrated pokemon from my other games and hatched for lower evolutions that I needed. THe only thing that was a pain was trading multiple pokemon from my White version to my White 2.

I do have the Shiny Charm, but I haven't tried to do any RE/MM with it, so far it's only SR.
Got Shiny Kyurem within 5 days, but for Cresselia, it's almost one month and she still hasn't shine yet XD
I need a total of three boxes plus two rows on the next box, just for my shinies
Aside from the shinies, I usually just put everything randomly, but I put them based on the wallpaper.
For example, Pokemon that looks like they can live well in the forest, goes to the Forest box.
I do have one box reserved for N's Pokemon + a few legendaries, though. There's also one box reserved for lv100 Pokemon.
As for MM-ing, I usually just hatch 5, then if there's no shiny, release them all, then grab another 5 eggs, hatch them, if no shiny then release, and so on. So I never need any box for them. I usually just have 1 spare slot on a box to put the last one that hatched, before saving and turning off the game (I gets tired too you know XD). And I don't have to worry about miscounting, since each Pokemon that hatched is nicknamed with number, for example the first one that hatched is 001, the next one is 002, and so on.
My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

So yeah. Hi.
I'm not going to take up too much of your time, so all you need to know is that I'm on here sometimes. If I'm not on here, then I'm somewhere else. Simple logic, really.
Since I know some of you are wondering…my avatar is of Sage/Coconut from the Youtube series Stupid Mario Brothers-which really should be featured on here, but anything I write is likely to be deadpooled. If you want to know how awesome the series is, go check out TVTropes. They do a fine job over there.
____________________________________________________What's that? You want to know more about me? You stalker. Okay, I live someplace. I'm alive. I have a computer. I enjoy asking questions, playing videogames, and writing. I won't bother you as long as you don't taunt/disrespect me or other people I happen to associate with. Usually, I won't add something unless I really want to, but I do enjoy commenting on random stuff. By now, some of you may also know that I like classic rock (hate how they call it 'classic' though-stuff's better than most of the stuff they play on the radio these days), although I do make exceptions for bands like The Black Keys (my favorite), Muse, and The Shins.
I also have no idea how to currently edit my profile to make it as awesome as I am. Until I do…well, hope you guys like white.

T3 Motion to add GT3 three-wheeler to its electric vehicle line-up
Article Summary
With its T3 Series electric standup vehicle (ESV), California-based company T3 Motion took aim at the police, security and site management markets with a no-noise, no-pollution, fast-response, one-person vehicle that delivers long battery run time, short recharge time and operating costs of around 10 cents per day. It expanded its line up with the four-wheel CT Micro Car that is designed to service similar markets to the T3 Series ESV. Now the company is adding to its fleet with the GT3, a two-passenger, plug-in consumer electric vehicle that features a single, wide-stance, rear wheel with two tires sharing one rim.

Tarte can rarely do wrong in all things related to skin care and makeup. I can't recall what I did in the days before I discovered the brand. The eyeshadows, Amazonian clay blushes, LipSurgence tint, and SmolderEYES waterproof liner--oh, my! I had been told that I would fall hard for this mascara, and I didn't fall at all. My lashes were colored and separated, but there was no added volume or ...read morelength whatsoever. Perhaps if you are blessed with a plethora of lashes, this will work well for you. For those of us who are lacking, this is not a mascara which will enhance your lashes at all. Hard to believe it's from Tarte! — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 10 people said helpful
Not a Great Mascara
I love the Tarte line and I received this in a kit. It is THE WORST mascara I have used. Maybe I am picky, but I look for lengthening and fullness. This product does neither. All it does is darken your lashes; no lengthening and thickening. For me, this is not acceptable because I think longer, thicker lashes really make your eyes pop. I do not recommend this product. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 7 people said helpful
Tarte Lights Camera Lashes
This is my favorite mascara!! This increases the volume of my lashes, never clumps, doesn't smudge, and is healthy for my lashes!! — 3 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 7 people said helpful
