Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit Cheats
back on topic, I'm having trouble getting unlimited ammo to turn on
Edit: correction, ammo option only works on the rocket launcher for me
[Edited by gfox117, 10/4/2012 1:57:40 PM]
Just tested out the trainer. Its really nice. Infinite health doesn't seem to work during the boss fight though. Also I couldn't get unlimited ammo to work. Everything else works great. Thanx.
When i start up the game the trainer says game detected. And when i press the trainer activation key the voice says trainer activated. But then the trainer literally freezes up. If i had it minimized i can't maximize it. and if it was maximized the window is completely white blank frozen. And windows says the program is not responding bla bla close the program.
Funny thing is that if i quit the game the trainer unfreezes itself after a few seconds. Just thought i'd mention it.
Now "..and WAIT FOR SECOND "Trainer activated" makes more sense than it did Thanks !
How is the editor supposed to work? I double click the values and change them and nothing changes. When I go into editor all values are 0, is that how it should be? In the trainer, infinite blood still doesn't work for me. Super jump works fine.
Just thought I'd ask, thank you.

if yes then why if no why not?
i mean me personally if i could i definitely would schools like Wellington, Haileybury, Marlborough, Rossal etc. are expenetially better than a bog standard comprehensive.

Having met various members of the Harrow set in my time nothing has made me change my mind about this over the years.
Me and my friends have had this conversation a couple of times.
YES -- for the opportunities it would give them in later life, and the education they would get, smaller class sizes etc
NO -- of course it's ridic to believe that everyone at a private school is a snob, but it's definitely true to say that you're gonna encounter more of them than your average comp kiddie... I want my future children to appreciate that they're privileged because mummy and daddy got lucky, not because they are inherently better than anyone else, and I think the comprehensive system allows one to appreciate this a bit more.
If you're a good parent, your child will come out well whatever school they go to
Yes to keep them away from the riff raff.
Yes, without a doubt I would send him/her to one of the best on the Isles. The government cannot uphold a competent education system, so private is the way.
(Original post by catoswyn)
I could have and I didn't. I saw a lot of people in second rate private schools and also a lot of people in excellent state schools. I also see and read a lot of comments by privately educated people that make me believe that their experience may tend to narrow their minds and educational experience rather than expand it. I mean by this the very traditional and academically orientated approach may not encourage or even allow all aspects of a person to be explored. Obviously this is a sweeping statement and there are many lovely, open minded and broad thinking people from private school backgrounds. There is just a greater risk I think of coming out of a private school with a view of the world which tends to be judgemental of other parts of society, pompous and arrogant.
Having met various members of the Harrow set in my time nothing has made me change my mind about this over the years.
but i do see where youre coming from some people are blinded by it to the rest of the world and some private schools well ...you may aswell set fire to your money for the good its going to do compared to a decent state school
I do not at all imagine that I would have children, but if I did, I would certainly do my utmost to give them the very best education possible. I had a state education and felt very held back, especially in secondary school.
Depends on a few things.
Yes - because it would give them opportunities and the benefit of better one to one help. Smaller class sizes too as well as better facilities.
No - I'm not from a rich background, and I would feel pressured to keep up with the lifestyle that private school demands. I would also worry about not fitting in with people who had a lot more money than me.
I've spent about half of my school years in both state and private schools, and I would make my choice depending on how good the local state schools were. One of the state schools I went to was just as good as most private schools but others were truly awful and really held me back. It would be ridiculous not to give them the best education possible if I could afford it.
(Original post by cl_steele)
i see exactly where youre coming from but for me who's experienced both a private school and a state school i must say i infinetly preffered the private experience ... mainyl for all the extra curriculars you get there which a state school wouldnt offer if god himself commanded them to plus i always found the social side a lot better, at least with my experience, people tended to form far closer friendships and retain them for far longer out of school.
but i do see where youre coming from some people are blinded by it to the rest of the world and some private schools well ...you may aswell set fire to your money for the good its going to do compared to a decent state school
Of course, any self respecting parent would send their child to the best school possible and as such, if a grammar school was not available then i would send them to a private school (Eton preferably).
May even open a private school if i ever have the money in later life.
As someone who goes to a private school and who has lots of friends in (good) state schools (a few have also got into Oxbridge this year), I honestly believe it doesn't have much influence on your child's education.
Some seem to think that private school will automatically involve more emotional and academic support, but in reality (especially if your private school is selective) you will feel like just one of many other people who are intelligent/clever as opposed to a state school, where there could be more of a range of attitudes towards work. Regarding university applications, from what I've heard when speaking to others, there actually seems to be more of a big deal on Oxbridge applicants in state school (with more help and support) than at schools where it's considered more 'normal' to apply.
I really hate the stereotypes attached to private schools - that if we get good grades, it's because we've had a lot more support from teachers or that we have more opportunities. I think it could even be argued that going to a private school could distort perspectives of reality - too much focus could be given to academics, whilst students could become complacent and overconfident about their own abilities. Going to a good school isn't just about academic work - it's about immersing yourself in other interests and exploring who you are as a person. If your child is clever and you support them, they'll do well. That's why - if there were good schools in my area - I would gladly send my children to state school, confident that they would have the opportunity to work hard and succeed if they wanted to, whilst being in an environment that made them as happy and secure in themselves as possible.
One of my life goals to make sure my children, go to somewhere like Stowe or Eton.
I wish my parents would have home schooled me and I would probably do the same. It's just too terrifying out there.

Hi Wonko,
Unfortunately, this is a by-design "feature" of WPF, Styles and Templates
could be used in multiple referencing points (for instance, when you define
a Button style, these styles will be used by multiple Button instances
residing across the visual tree), and those referencing points will
potentially be created by different threads. So in order to make them
thread safe when used across threading boundaries, Styles and Templates
will be sealed, if you use reflector to examine the Style and
FrameworkTemplate class definition, you will find that both Style and
FrameworkTemplate classes all implement ISealable internal interface, this
interface imposes the sealable contract, which means that when a Style or
Template is sealed, it will be made read-only, read-only objects could be
used safely across threading boundaries, and any Freezable objects within
the Style and Template definition will also be frozen (because Freezable
objects take freezing semantic), this is expected, since when you want to
make an object read-only, you need to make sure that any objects which this
object has reference to should also be made read-only. The caveat here is
that Freezable objects when have data binding or dynamic resource
referencing (via DynamicResourceExtension) set on it cannot be frozen,
because data binding or dynamic resource referencing relies on the specific
contextual information to make it work (thinking of RelativeSource and
ElementName data binding), and if WPF allows you to set data binding on
frozen Freezable objects, those Freezable objects could be used and
attached to multiple parenting points (to make the matter worse, those
parenting points could reside in different threads), which could confuse
the RelativeSource and ElementName data binding, and potentially cause some
nasty threading issues.
So in order to work around this limitation, you could choose not to
introduce any Freezable objects inside Styles or Templates; you could place
the Storyboard/TimelineAnimation inside the theme resource dictionary as
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="brush" Color="Green"/>
<!--Note that in order to refer to theme resources, you need to use
And you also need to specify the x:Shared attribute to false to
prevent resource sharing, this could effectively workaround
the limiation that Freezable resources will be frozen by the theme
dictionary loading code-->
x:Key="{ComponentResourceKey ResourceId=ColorAnimation,
TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type local:CustomButton}}"
To="{Binding Path=Color, Source={StaticResource brush}}"
Duration="0:0:2" RepeatBehavior="Forever"/>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:CustomButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<TextBlock Text="CustomButton" Tag="Green" x:Name="textBlock">
<SolidColorBrush x:Name="back" Color="Red"/>
And inside the CustomButton control implementation, you could override the
OnApplyTemplate() protected method as follows:
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
//Presumably you could use FrameworkElement.FindResource() or
FrameworkElement.TryFindResource() to look up the "ColorAnimation"
//unforunately those two APIs will freeze resource before returning it
for your //disposal. That's why I use the SetResourceReference hack here.
this.SetResourceReference(Button.TagProperty, new
ComponentResourceKey(typeof(CustomButton), "ColorAnimation"));
SolidColorBrush solidColorBrush = this.GetTemplateChild("back") as
this.MouseEnter += delegate
ColorAnimation colorAnimation = this.Tag as ColorAnimation;
if (colorAnimation != null && solidColorBrush != null)
The above method looks like a little bit like a hackery, so I recommend you
to construct Animations and Storyboards completely at the code behind
(presumably inside the instance constructor of CustomButton class (note
that per instance Freezable objects are thread safe because WPF imposes the
dispatcher threading model for Freezable objects), then you could hook up
to the any events such as MouseEnter/MouseLeave to start and stop those
Animations and Storyboards.

In the body, what are three major factors that govern resistance in blood flow?
Blood vessel radius, blood vessel length and blood viscosity
A significant build-up of lipid deposits in a person's arteries will ____________ blood flow and ___________ resistance?
Poiseuille's equation states that the __________ has the strongest effect on blood flow?
Radius of the blood vessel
Consider this: Blood is flowing down an artery and that artery bifurcates (branches in two directions). The first branch maintains the same radius as the artery before the bifurcation. The second branch is composed of many smaller vessels that together, equal the total radius of the first branch. What is true about the two branches?
The second branch has more resistance than the first.
In which of the following would the most resistance be observed?
Blood with a high hematocrit and in a vessel with a small radius
Clinical hypothetical: You are an ER physician at UMC in Lubbock, TX. A patient presents with complaints of itching and headaches. The patient also has a severe bruise on their leg that may indicate a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Standard protocol dictates that you run blood tests. The test indicates an extremely high hematocrit in addition to the somatic symptoms. Based on the symptoms and what you've learned in this lab, what is a possible diagnosis.
Polycythemia vera
Laminar flow describes the quick, rough manner in which blood flows along the length of the vessel.

This weekend, with the Taste of Buffalo going full swing, how about a Taste of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra?
It's happening next door at Canalside. It's free and less fattening.
The BPO's weekend on the waterfront has a lot in common with a food festival. You may sample different varieties of music the way you might sample various chicken wing sauces.
Day One of "BPO At Canalside" culminates in a pops concert today at 7 p.m. Matthew Kraemer, the orchestra's associate conductor, will preside over "Broadway Bound," featuring guest vocalists Elizabeth Southard and Gary Mauer. They'll sing songs from shows including "West Side Story," "My Fair Lady," "The Music Man," "The Sound of Music," "Phantom," "Les Mis" and "Porgy and Bess."
Sunday's day of music builds up to "Superheroes at the Symphony," a 3 p.m. performance conducted by Kraemer geared toward "kids of all ages."
Whichever option you choose, here's the menu:
1-3 p.m.: Kids are invited to make an instrument with Albright-Knox Art Gallery, get their faces painted and participate in other family activities.
2 p.m.: Serenade by the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus.
2:45 p.m.: Explore the artistry of the Buffalo Chamber Players, a freewheeling confederation of musicians including many BPO players, who perform classics of the chamber music repertoire and also pieces off the beaten path.
3:45 p.m.: Get with the beat of the BPO percussion section, joined by Joe Desotelle, winner of the Friends of the BPO Scholarship.
4:15 p.m.: The African-American Cultural Center's Dance and Drum Performance Company offers a taste of world beat.
5:15 p.m.: Groove to the sounds of a jazz quintet led by Sal Andolina, BPO saxophonist, bass clarinetist and personal friend of Benny Goodman.
7 p.m.: Matthew Kraemer conducts "Broadway Bound."
1-3 p.m.: Kids get another chance to make an instrument with Albright-Knox Art Gallery; face-painting and other family activities.
1:45 Meet a musician! Principal timpanist Matthew Bassett, English horn player Anna Mattix and trombonist Tim Smith will be on hand to mingle and answer questions about their instruments and their lives.
3 p.m.: "Superheroes" concert featuring music from Spiderman, Batman and Superman movies, conducted by Kraemer.

Eastland teen killed in rollover accident
OLDEN, Texas - A teenager from Eastland was killed early Friday morning after a rollover accident.
It happened just before 2 a.m. Benjamin Levi Cagle was driving north on County Road 454, near Olden.
As he approached a curve, he over-corrected and his truck hit a ditch and rolled over. The passenger, 17-year-old Joseph Wayne Woodall, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
He was taken to Arringten-Edwards Funeral Home in Eastland.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is reminding drivers to buckle up.
Thursday night, a 71-year-old woman was killed in a rollover crash near Moran.
That makes this the second accident within 24 hours where those killed were not wearing seatbelts.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the eagerly awaited sequel to its predecessor Tekken Tag Tournament, which was released in 2000. Over ten long years have passed whilst Tekken fans all over the globe have waited with bated breath for this game, and finally, it's here. Revolutionised, revamped, and vastly superior to the first released over a decade ago, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is sure to make the wait worthwhile.
TTT 2 boasts the the largest character roster in Tekken history, with over 45 playable characters in total, including all 42 from Tekken 6. Old and familiar faces once again make an appearance, ranging from Jinpachi Mishima from Tekken 5, to True Ogre and the beloved Jun Kazama from the original Tekken Tag Tournament, amongst many others. This wide range of characters is a definite must have in this game, as combat relies completely on your talents and skills as a team.
Each player selects two characters to fight with, with the option to switch either out at any time within the battle. A nice little helping hand in this game is that whilst a character is inactive, they will gradually regain any health they lost during battle. A wide variety of attacks can be performed within this game, with combos being set up directly from tags, and extended tag combos and combined moves all playing a major part in crushing your foes. A new technique that has been introduced is the combined tag throws, which when performed correctly can set off a cut scene that will lead to your opponent being K.O.'d. These throws can also be escaped from, if you time it well. There are also tag throws/assaults, which can be done simultaneously with both characters performing the combo at the same time. There is a reintroduction of "bound" hits, which smash an airborne opponent in to the ground and allows the combo to be extended; this is made much more effective with the tag team aspect.
There is an innovative tag partner rage system within this game, which occurs when the character you're playing takes a certain number of hits. When this happens, the inactive character's bar flashes, indicating that they're fully charged; this means that when you tag this character in, they will have a strength boost induced in battle. The arenas in which you fight have also been improved, making them walled and interactive. The walls can break when a character hits them, opening up and leading the fight into a new area. Due to the tag team system, there are new rules of judging round wins or losses: a player will lose the round if either of their characters K.O., and if time runs out before a defeat then the player with the most health left combined will stand victorious.
Team up the best two characters and take down every opponent you come across in this fast-paced, hard hitting action packed game. Use agility, strength, and devise the best attack combinations that you can muster in order to be crowned the Tekken Tag Tournament champion. Despite how much time has been spent waiting for this sequel, it is more than worth it. (Cat Emerson)

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is one the best fighting games around, with tons of characters and modes. It keeps to Tekken's roots. It's a solid game.
Tag Tournament 2 is a great Tekken game, the best of Tekken 5 with graphics of Tekken 6 and tag battles, if you like Tekken, that's your Tekken.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has very intuitive fighting, good balance between skill and button mashing and well designed online mode. It's not a pure skill-driven game like Street Fighter but pure button abuse will not make you win. The reward system is very nice and you have millions of options in the customizing menu. Good graphics and animations. Would definitely recommend.
I'm very satisfied with the service provided. The price of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was reasonable, shipping and delivery was on time, and the product was in excellent condition. I will definitely use Zavvi in the future.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a welcome return of the game that defined my PS2 experience. The tag mechanics are excellent, and open up many new gameplay possibilities. You can pass the arcade mode with a buddy, which is always fun, and the fighting is a bit more dynamic than it was in Tekken 6. Haven't tried the online mode so i can't really say anything about it. Overall, an excellent game. If you like Tekken, then TTT2 is the game for you.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the perfect game for the genre's fans. There's a variety of characters and tag combos.
Product got delivered in time and quite quickly; packaging was sturdy and quite secured. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 itself is amazing - perfect for all fighting games fans. Would highly recommend Zavvi.com
I am new to the competitive fighting game scene, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the game that got me interested. Just playing through the tutorial, I realised that there was so much depth to this game that I would never master it. Then a coworker suggested that I see how good the guys online are, and I was blown away. I have been playing it every spare moment I get. I highly recommend this game to anyone that likes fighters because it is accessible for new players, while still having everything that a competitive fighter game needs.
This was a great game in thems of graphics, action and button mashing. Tekken always delivers! However, it seems that the massive number of characters in the game has lead to the sacrifice of any sort of storyline and frame for the fighting.
Tekken Tag Tournament is the best game of Tekken franchise.You can choose any of the 53 characters and customize them in a various ways. You have an offline or online mode (online mode works perfectly) arcade mode , ghost battle and of course non experience players a practice mode .TTT2 it is a great game which you can really enjoy playing it.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a very pleasant game with a lots of characters. It has multi-languages which I like. I'm just a little bit disappointed about the graphics but I can live with that.
If you play the previous tekken games, this is similar, but with the tag mechanic, the combos gain new life with tag combos and tag throw's. Very good graphic's, probably the best in the genre to date, and you can customize every character with very funny costumes and gear. This is the best Tekken yet.
This is definitely the best tekken ever, everything and every character is in there. Awesome soundtrack with the possibility of acquiring soundtracks from all previous tekkens and use them in game. Incredible character customization, new online modes with the ability to practice while you´re waiting for an online match. The tag attacks are awesome, with new moves and secret tag team throws that make you say UAU. A game that its not only for the tekken and brawler fans but also made to anyone to enjoy it, a must buy.
The Tekken Tag Tournament 2 game is Pure Tekken.
Good game! Cannot go wrong with Tekken.
After 12 years from the last Tekken Tag Tournament on Playstation 2, Tekken Tage Tournament 2 came back in the best possible way. With more than 50 characters, the game has nice and smooth graphics in high definition. Even when all 4 characters are on screen, the game plays great. Graphics has been enhanced from the last Tekken 6 and also the gameplay is faster. You can play in offline mode with friends and up to 4 player or solo. There's some modes to choose from, including arcade, ghost battle, time attack and much more. There is also a mode for new players to learn the basics of the game to help them become masters of Tekken. The online mode has been improved from the last update, so the gameplay is great. It's also playable with your friend, that can help you get the highest rank. If you are a Tekken fan, this is a must buy. If you are new to this game, try it and you won't regret it!
Tekken Tag Tournament Two is a superb arcade fighting game. You may know that the last "next gen" tekken game was tekken 6, which, although was a solid game, had very little to offer other than the standard fighting modes themselves. However TTT2 introduces tag team games as well as 2v1 or 1v1 if you wish which is already a lot more exciting than being restrained to 1v1 fights. There are also a lot more customization option's, for all fighter's, and there are A LOT of fighter's to pick from including free additional characters which are unlocked via download over the next few months following the release of the game. To keep it simple classic (and in my view the best) tekken fighting game play, Best graphics in a Tekken game yet, tons of customization options to make your character your own. Excellent on-line fighting. Up to four players offline (2 v 2, if you have 4 controllers of course) and of course the standard 1v1 or 2v1. You can even team up with a friend in your living room and face opponents together online. Don't miss this game if your a fighting fan!
'Tekken Tag Tournament 2' is the best tekken so far, great graphics, awesome music, and the tag system makes you wanna create combos all the time. Online is also great. A must buy for fighting fans.
This is without a doubt the best Tekken game and probably the best fighting game ever. It brings a lot of new improvements to the series: much better graphics than Tekken 6, new moves and tons of characters, Tag play, Tekken Tunes (choosing your own music for every stage is priceless) a fantastic online mode with no lag, and the most polished gameplay of the series. Even if at first juggles took too long and the game seems to be too complex, the learning curve is really good and whether you are new or experienced on the series, this game is fantastic. Amazing product.
If you are familiar with Tekken 6 then you'll be able to just play Tekken Tag Tournament 2 easily. For those who are new to the game altogether, there is a mode called Fight Lab that teaches the player how to play the game. It also gives certain tips which will help when playing against somebody else. There is a large character roster, over 50 different characters which gives a lot of variety of choice. You also have a choice of whether you want to use one character, Solo Mode, or Tag. Overall, this is the best Tekken game in the series and I would definitely recommend it.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is not perfect, but it is perhaps the greatest Tekken game since Tekken 3. There is something really great about TTT2, I tried T6 but didn't like it. This is a great game, it is action packed. What isn't perfect is the Solo mode, this should be removed or a flag to prevent you from playing against Solo if you do not want play against it. Tthe tag is the best part of the game. Namco has done a great job with TTT2.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a fantastic game! Was sceptical after Tekken 6, but would recommend TTT2 to any Tekken fan as it feels like the old school games. It also has almost every previous character on it!
It's a very fun and addictive game, due to it being a tag game it will make you want to try out several fighters to see which ones makes a better match, since it has one of the biggest character's roster I've seen in a fighting game you will be kept busy enough so you wont miss the lack of a story mode which is the only down side i personally found. The online is smooth, you can have a practice fight against Mokujin while you search players to fight against. The tag mechanics take a while to get used to specially if you never played Tekken seriously or you are new to it but once you can pull of tag assaults it will feel rewarding. 4 people can play locally simultaneously which only makes it very fun to play with friends. Overall this games is a worthy entry to the Tekken series which doesn't make you feel like u are playing a spin-off. The post free DLC is great and shows how awesome and 'friendly' the fighting community is.
It's a really great game, it's a must for fighting fans. In parts in can be very challenging but overall it's not a bad game.
First of all let me say this was the second time I ordered this game from this site, the first order experienced problems with payment for some reason, so I re-pre-ordered still well before the game came out. To my disappointment the game did not arrive until the following Monday when I was expecting it on the day of release, as you can guess I was extremely annoyed. The game is great though and really brings together all characters from previous Tekken games! Game = 10/10
This is the best fighting game on the market. It has all the characters (50) Tekken series ever had. Superb dubstep sound tracks.
A great fighting game. Can be a bit overwhelming at first with all the moves that characters have but that gives this game tons of replay value.There are also plenty of modes to keep you occupied and an excellent mode to play online but offline (called ghost mode). There is an excellent customisation feature for characters. You can totally change what your characters look like. Online play is lag-less for the most part Fight lab is helpful but I wish they would give some more help. I had to look up some important features that were not mentioned in fight lab. Overall I would give this game a 9/10
Tekken tag 2 is full on bad-ass! Fantastic rawster and soon to be updated with more classic characters, classic levels redesigned, soon to be added classic soundtrack option from all other Tekken games and the option to use your own music for every level. Seriously... What more could you ask for?! 10/10
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the greatest fighting game ever created!

Just curious as to what all of you think about the rowing machine at the gym? Is it considered more of a cardio or muscle workout? Both? Also, what frequency would you utilize such a device? I just did 44 minutes (10k m) and I'm tuckered out.
wrong thread, sorry.
Sounds like chronic cardio.

Sassy came into Helping Hands Rescue extremely underweight and struggling to walk. Through examination at Orchards Pet Hospital a sad history was revealed for man's best friend. Sassy has a bone infection in her hind leg that was brought on after an injury was left untreated.
Currently we're trying to treat that pretty aggressively with antibiotics to try to clear up the infection in hopes we can save her leg," said Orchards Pet Hospital Dr. Kathy Ponozzo.
And while the vet clinic is trying to do everything to save Sassy's leg. If unable to this back leg will need to be amputated."
"So this is what a normal one looks like and this is what hers looks like," said Ponozzo. "So here's her foot and all of this fuzzy looking material is the infection in the bone."
Helping Hands Rescue is a non-profit volunteer group that rescues unwanted, homeless, neglected and abused animals in the region. Veterinarian bills for Sassy are expected to be in the thousands.
If you'd like to help her and others like her ... here's some information.

Nike Flyknit left an indelible impression on 2012 and heads into the next year with tremendous momentum and yet another eye-catching new colorway for the upcoming LunarLon standard. The Nike Flyknit One+ makes the featherweight foam cushioning platform a given for general releases, and with energetic colorups like this 'Sprite'-like blend, the Swoosh's cutting edge weave is setting the gold standard for a second straight summer. Flyknit has a special look that's so extraordinary we already know it will be remembered as one of the defining styles of this era, and you can see more of this early '13 edition after the jump below.

HUNTSVILLE, AL - Out of 203 metro areas across the United States, Huntsville ranked No. 141 in foreclosure rates during the first half of 2009, RealtyTrac reported Thursday.
From January through June, 819 properties - less than half a percent of Huntsville properties - received a foreclosure filing, according to RealtyTrac's MSA Midyear 2009 Foreclosure Market Report. That's one in every 204 housing units.
Huntsville's foreclosure filings during the period were compared with 347 during the same period in 2008, but RealtyTrac said the actual number of 2008 foreclosures was likely higher, as its reporting methods have improved.
Las Vegas, which had the highest foreclosure rate in the nation, posted a foreclosure rate of 7.45 percent, or one in every 84 housing units, with 58,691 properties receiving a foreclosure filing during the period.
Rounding out the top five cities for foreclosure rates were Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (7.2 percent); Merced, Calif. (6.89 percent); Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (5.73 percent) and Stockton, Calif. (5.64 percent). The lowest foreclosure for the period was found in Burlington-South Burlington, Vt., (0.01 percent).
Some of the more foreclosure-heavy metro areas posted a drop in foreclosure activity, while other area saw an increased foreclosure rate.
"Foreclosure activity continued its upward trajectory nationwide and in the majority of metro areas in the first half of the year, but there are some significant differences beginning to show up in the data," said James J. Saccacio, RealtyTrac's CEO. "As unemployment rates increase in different parts of the country, it's very likely that we'll see similar patterns develop elsewhere."

Six times smaller chip next generation TV-on-mobile in U.S. Market
April 5, 2006 Philips announced its next generation TV-on-mobile solution for the North American market at CTIA today. An amazing six times smaller than its previous version, the new Digital Video Broadcast - Handheld (DVB-H) front-end solution, the smaller size BGT216 (7x7 mm, compared to the previous version's 15x26 mm and no that's not it in the pic – good pic though, heh?) improves the integration potential of the chip into mobile devices, which will enable handset and other mobile hardware manufacturers to create simpler, sleeker designs which satisfy the current consumer trends towards small, ultra-portable devices. DVB-H technologies enable consumers to receive live TV-like experiences directly onto mobile handsets and other DVB-H-based devices. The U.S. market for TV-on-mobile is predicted to have 15 million consumer users by 2009, up from only 1.2 million in 2005, according to eMarketer.
Philips has also responded to the industry issue of power consumption and mobile TV by designing the BGT216 to require low power, maximizing battery life and service value for consumers.
"The recent momentum for the commercialization of DVB-H, Modeo's chosen mobile television technology, has been nothing short of overwhelming," commented Michael Schueppert, president of Modeo. "Working with leading companies like Philips to make these technology advancements a commercial reality is an exciting opportunity for all involved, including handset manufacturers, wireless operators and content providers."
"TV-on-mobile is becoming a proven market for our customers across the world, and none more so than in North America," said Gert Jan Kaat, senior vice president and general manager, Mobile & Personal Business Unit, Philips Semiconductors. "Our advanced, second generation TV-on-mobile solution for North America is compatible with previous versions and our Nexperia cellular system solutions for 3G. It is not only high performance and low power, but it is leading the industry in terms of size which makes it easier for our customers to create sleeker, more cutting edge handset designs, using proven technology from a trusted partner."
The BGT216 solution for TV-on-mobile has the capabilities of a complete digital TV front-end receiver. The Philips Customer Development Kit (CDK) ensures smooth, easy development and reduces time-to-market for TV-enabled cellular handsets. It includes programmable options that support evolving standards and the introduction of upgrades, even after systems have been deployed in the field. Philips can also offer customers expertise in integrating an antennae solution which can simplify the development process.

Calling for Medicaid Expansion in PA
Right now, Pennsylvania has a historic opportunity to offer 800,000 Pennsylvanians health insurance through Medicaid Expansion. This will provide peace of mind for thousands of low-income families and individuals, AND create hundreds of jobs, save the state billions of dollars, and strengthen our economy.
Through expansion, the federal government will pick up 100 percent of the cost to fund Medicaid through 2016. It will continue to cover 90 percent of costs after that, saving the state $38 billion in future years.
However, without expansion, working families and individuals will be left with no coverage -- ineligible for Medicaid and/or subsidies for health coverage. Without health insurance, individuals and families may turn to emergency services, putting a huge fiscal burden on the state. This will be especially devastating to our health care industry, causing hospital closures and catastrophic job losses. Our health system is in danger of losing $9 billion in federal funding without Medicaid expansion.
In his budget address, Governor Tom Corbett stated that he "could not recommend" Medicaid expansion for Pennsylvania. Activists and health advocates urge him to keep the door open and the dialogue moving. Fourteen other states have already opted-in and Medicaid expansion has support from key Republican legislators across the country.
Draft letter to Legislators and or Governor Corbett:
Expanding Medicaid
I am writing to ask my elected officials to take advantage of the unprecedented opportunity Pennsylvania has to bring health care coverage to over half a million citizens by expanding our Medicaid program. The new health care law assures the Federal Government will pay the entire costs and then, eventually, the majority of the costs. Expanding Medicaid will save lives, create jobs, and boost our economy. It's the right thing to do.
Letter should go to Gov. Corbett and or your local representative.

This is an area that is currently being debated by media owners across the globe. Can we get that little bit of extra budget due to the medium being digital outdoor?
Certainly many agencies are currently feeling in a predicament over 2011 budgets. The media agencies are suffering due to the climate. Many of the top brands are reviewing their media buying accounts and agencies.
The brands have made their feelings clear to the agencies: "You have a significant reduction in budget, but we want twice the results of last year." Of course that is a slight exaggeration, yet I am certain that many UK and Euro agencies will tell me that I am not a million miles away from the truth.
This has bred a fear into agencies that has never been seen before. Well, not at this level anyway. The fear is born out of the horror of making a mistake with the client's budget by introducing an innovative DOOH strategy. If they get this wrong not only do they have an unhappy client on their hands, but also they run the risk of losing their job!
Trust me: this is happening in the majority of the larger agencies. They stick to their more traditional media buys because it is the safest option, not because it is the best option in accordance with strategies for their client. Let's be honest, no one has ever been sacked for buying TV, radio or press!
This is not only dangerous but it is also the way not to think. Agencies are drawn into economy as a result of the client pressure, "get it right or else". DOOH media owners then bombard them with audience-measurement data and dissection matrices, and in addition they are constantly reading how DOOH is growing in terms of spend and results. So what do they do? Run the risk of a job loss or play it safe with more traditional media?
Let's look at things slightly differently. How about we consider using the same multipliers and accelerators that took us into this recession...to get us out of this recession. They work both ways, up and down. We just need to know how to ride them with more intelligent media choices. The media sector must play its role to get this sector out of the grey area it is in.
I am fed up with people telling me that we are now seeing bluer skies; that is utter garbage. Things are no better now than they were last year. This will take at least another couple of years before we start to breathe again and even when we do we will never do business again the way we did before, never!
Thankfully for us Digiadvans.com has doubled turnover and doubled profit in its last financial year, but this was not without a serious strategy implementation, which fortunately paid off for us. That said, I am aware of other companies that were not so lucky, and they are finding it extremely difficult to stay afloat.
In order to get things moving we must embrace DOOH and demonstrate to the brands and to the agencies that it is worthy of the additional spend. We must demonstrate transparency with audience-measurement figures, not settling for the last digital-screen-versus-poster results. On the contrary, we need to push forward with innovation and interactive campaigns, which are influencing the way customers buy. This is all possible if people start doing this now. Why put it off?
We are seeing bespoke campaigns utilising screens that are extremely innovative, incorporating augmented reality, touchscreens, audio and QR codes. These are the exact tools that I am referring to.
A prime example of a company executing this mentality is JCDecaux, as demonstrated in the Gateshead MetroCentre.
Here's what the agency Ogilvy & Mather has to say about its campaign for the Ford C Max:
The campaign allows people to handle and explore miniaturised 3D 'virtual' models of the cars on-screen and in the palm of their hand.
The campaign, created by Ogilvy & Mather in London and digital production company Grand Visual, allows users to interact with the car simply by holding their hands up to the screen.
Virtual buttons allow the user to choose the colour of the car, open doors, fold the seats flat, turn the car 360 degrees and select demos of the car's key features such as Active Park Assist.
Not only can this drive incremental sales, it also identifies a clear media-savvy public.
Mark Simpson at Ford said: "Using live interactive outdoor campaigns is a great way to really engage with the audience in a way that is not possible with static posters. This has enabled us to create a targeted and tactical campaign that is relevant and fun to use." The Ford campaign was planned and booked by Mindshare and Kinetic. A very positive all-round success!
This is the level of intelligence that we all need to adopt in the DOOH sector. We must demonstrate to the brands that it is a calculated reduced risk to invest in this level of DOOH campaign activity. If you communicate the ROI effectively, you will quickly identify that the brands are prepared to spend more for this level of interactive campaign strategies.
Whether we like it or not, and I certainly do, the DOOH sector is moving forward with intelligent executions such as this one. For those who are afraid, my advice is to leave the sector. That is like trying to stop VHS evolving into the CD/DVD, it is going to happen with or without us...

TEWKSBURY TWP. — A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Thursday, April 11 regarding a lawsuit over the denial of the Johnson family's plans for a helistop.
At the conference the court is expected to decide the schedule of how things will proceed — when briefs will be due, when answers must be filed and perhaps set a date for the trial if the case is not settled.
Although the Land Use Board rejected the Johnson family's application for a variance, the Johnsons applied to the state Department of Transportation for a "restricted use" helistop license on their farm. The state appears ready to issue the license for the helistop at Cedar Lane Farm on Homestead Road regardless of what happens in court.
Several residents came to the Township Committee on March 26 to express concerns about what will happen if or when the license is issued. If the issuance of the license cannot be stopped entirely, then residents would like to see some restrictions placed on the frequency and timing of helicopter flights.
At that meeting, James Rhatican, who represents the Friends of the Cold Brook Historic District, which is intervening in the lawsuit, said his firm has had discussions with the DOT. He said the Johnsons have received verbal approval of their license but won't get the final license until after the helistop is built.
"They've been told they can build this apparently, but there is nothing solid about restrictions," Rhatican said. "If it is going to be issued we want to minimize impact on community."
The Friends would like to see the number of flights limited to 16 per year; during daylight hours only; no on-site refueling or hangar; follow a documented route; allow only the Johnson family members and cattle buyers to use it; limit the size of the helicopters, and have deed restrictions placed on lots that are sold that prohibit helistops. They also want to see penalties imposed for non-compliance.
Rhatican said he learned there were discussion about a possible settlement of the lawsuit but he had not been involved even though he represents a group that is party to the suit.
He said the restrictions have to be placed by the state Department of Transportation. If restrictions are determined as part of a settlement of the lawsuit, the township would have no authority to enforce anything more stringent that what the DOT imposes.
Resident Larry Ross said that the if given liberal restrictions, the Johnsons could "come back and ask for even broader rights and additional helistops."
Ross also pointed out that the farm has been subdivided into 13 lots. When they filed the subdivision plans, the Johnsons said it was for estate planning and that they had no plans to build anything. When asked if conservation easements could be placed on the new lots, Ross said the Johnson's land expert replied that it would not be fair to the Johnson heirs.
Ross fears that the future owners of those lots could come back and ask for their own helistop. Although intended for the Johnson's grandchildren, there are no restrictions on who to lots could be sold to in the future.
Resident Rilda Hone said she understood that the any DOT ruling would trump any court ruling.
Resident Floyd Wheat said he did not understand how the decision of the Land Use Board can be summarily overturned. "Precedent is being set. Anyone can make up a business reason and get a helistop license," he said. The Johnsons have argued the helistop will allow them to fly in prospective buyers of frozen cow embryos.They also testified the helicopter would also be for personal use.
At the March 26 meeting Mayor Lou DiMare said that the Township Committee was not doing nothing as the residents implied. He said it could not be discussed in public because of the active lawsuit.
Because helistops are not permitted in the zone, the Johnsons had to prove that the helistop was needed to keep their dairy farm in business. In May, 2012, the Land Use Board denied the application.
Several witnesses said that the helistop was needed to allow the Johnsons to fly in prospective buyers of frozen cattle embryos. Those who voted "no" did not think that was proven to be a necessity.

Photographs from the National Archives, 1860-1960
In his introduction to this handsome volume, historian Alan Trachtenberg notes that photographs are "like miniature replicas" that "give us worlds to ponder and amaze ourselves with." What also amazes is that there is so much art in the archives' picture collection. These photographs were originally assembled for government records, but beyond their historical worth they are visually compelling. Included are Mathew Brady's view of the Civil War, Lewis Hine's portraits of child laborers and Ansel Adams' celebration of the West. Along with the pictures by these masters are those of many anonymous photographers whose work is often as impressive. An exhibition based on the book will travel nationwide, but the big bonus is that prints of most of these magnificent images are available from the archives for as little as $4.65. (Pantheon, $20, $10 in paper)

She didn't get the final rose from Ben Flajnik on Monday night's The Bachelor, but Lindzi Cox has nothing bad to say about the man who told her he was "in love with someone else."
"I wish them nothing but the best," she said on Tuesday's Good Morning America, about Flajnik and the woman he proposed to, Ford model Courtney Robertson.
Although Cox, 27, says she doesn't know if they'll make it as a couple, during the reveal that Flajnik and Robertson were essentially broken up while the show aired, Cox says she's "in a good place" now.
"Hindsight's a really beautiful thing," said the business development manager and the season's good girl. "I wasn't happy at the beginning. I've learned a lot from the experience."
So will she make her way back to TV to find love again – on The Bachelorette, perhaps?
"It's awesome," she says. "I'd totally go do it again."

Intercontinental Cup Canceled, Ziggler Talks Climb to the Top, WWE Profiles ECW Stars
– The planned Intercontinental Cup which was to be taped on WWE Main Event episodes has been canceled according to Wade Barrett.
"I am pleased to announce that I have managed to negotiate a complete cancellation of the #IntercontinentalCup tournament", Barrett wrote on Twitter just moments ago.
– WWE published a new list profiling the top 30 ECW stars. Rob Van Dam topped the list, followed by Sabu, Tazz, The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, The Dudley Boyz, Shane Douglas, Raven and The Public Enemy. Terry Funk rounded out the top 10.
– Dolph Ziggler said that he was very close to becoming champion in an interview with NOVA FM.
"I don't know anyone else who can do what I can do and still have the (belief) of becoming champion and lose 60% of the time or more. I've been scratching and clawing for years and every time it's one inch higher and now it's so close to becoming my time and to say I haven't earned it would just be ridiculous."

Major highway junction shut down for construction
Detours, roadwork will remain in place for a month
Orange road work signs, detours and flashing lights now surround the now-closed junction of highways 70 and 20 in Marysville.
That's because work crews began phase three of a $46 million highway reconstruction project early Friday morning, California's Department of Transportation said.
Caltrans is advising drivers to be aware that the closure of Ninth and E streets in Marysville has created temporary one-way streets on sections of Eighth and D streets.
This work is part of a two-year, 13-stage process aimed at repaving the asphalt, upgrading drainage systems, improved curbs and sidewalks and other improvements, said Caltrans.

The 2014 men's soccer season will be full of challenges for the Stetson Hatters and their first-year head coach Ernie Yarborough.
The typical challenges of a tough non-conference schedule, dealing with injuries, and meshing new players with veterans are obvious and fairly routine for every team. The challenges of getting to know a new group of players and figuring out their strengths and weaknesses are also the norm for every first-year head coach.
But Yarborough and the Hatters come together this year under the most strenuous of circumstances. Longtime head coach T. Logan Fleck passed away in late July and Yarborough, a Central Florida native and a national champion as a player and assistant coach, took the reins just days before players reported in mid-August. And he and the rest of the Hatters are together working through all the challenges.
"To be honest the most challenging part has been to figure out where the players need to be on the field," said Yarborough. "The players that had been in the program before know their positions, or think they know their positions, but as I told them when I first got here that as a coaching staff our job is to evaluate everything."
The Hatters endured a disappointing 2013 campaign, posting a 3-10-4 overall record and failing to qualify for the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament. Twelve letter winners return from last season, including senior defender and team leader JJ Bostic, a second-team all-conference selection last year and preseason all-league pick for 2014.
Also back for Stetson are seniors Dwight Lodge, JJ Lofthouse-Smith, Ross Morison, and Chris Aguirre. All will be looked to for leadership and stability. But Yarborough indicated the entire team has taken on a leadership role.
"It's the whole group," he said. "I talked to them early on about how we are a family. Those guys are brothers; we've helped each other find our way through this. The situation that we are in is a unique one. No one looks at it as an excuse or a reason to not move forward."
Yarborough mentioned Bostic, junior forward Eli Beates and sophomore goalkeeper Paul Ladwig as keys to the Hatters' success this season. Newcomers Lucas Diniz and Marco Hjorth also earned praise.
"We're strong at keeper," he said. "I feel very comfortable with what Paul is doing back there for us. We have a pretty good forward in Eli, and potentially another one in Marco. Lucas is an additional quality attacking player that can really help the group."
Toughness and organization are the hallmarks Yarborough expects the Hatters to carry with them all season.
"Organizationally we're getting close to where we need to be," he said. "I told them early on that I'd like for us to be a tough team to play against. I think we're getting there."
Typically, teams begin the season with a list of goals. When players show up for their first team meeting of the year, those goals are written on a white board, displayed prominently in the locker room or passed out on a piece of paper. The Hatters are no different. Yarborough said the seniors have talked about winning the conference tournament, not only as a reward for themselves but as a way to honor the memory of Coach Fleck.
As far as overall season goals, however, Yarborough takes a different approach.
"We haven't done a lot of goal setting," said Yarborough. "Our number one goal is to be a tough team to play against every game. I tell the guys that if you do things the right way and work hard and you're good people, good things will happen. At that point you hope the results take care of themselves."
Stetson opens the 2014 season this weekend at the Duke/Nike Invitational in Durham, N.C. The Hatters face Elon, 5 p.m., Friday, and Duke at 2:30 p.m., Sunday.

Real Stories: IEC-BC's Mentoring Program In Action
When Kassie Sambaraju arrived in Canada, she was on the outside looking in.
It's been 20 months since the veteran research assistant with the short dark curls said goodbye to her family in Bangalore India. She left a comfortable position back home, working in the social development sector, to start anew in an unfamiliar city.
A move this bold exemplifies the kind of confidence you'd expect from a seasoned professional with a management degree, a masters in science and a desire to build thriving communities. But when Kassie arrived in Canada, her ambition was met with disappointment.
"Coming here, I feel underutilized," says Kassie with a measure of patience befitting her research background. "I had a good position back home. Here, the pay is lower and it's very frustrating to find the right job."
In Bangalore, Kassie had a substantial personal and professional network - something many of us take for granted. A strong network is not an easy thing to discard, but for Kassie, it was a reasonable exchange for the opportunity to live and work abroad.
"It's just that I know the job markets back in India, and I don't have a network here - that's the only difference," says Kassie, who's fluency in English is not betrayed by her southern Indian accent.
"As a newcomer, there are very limited programs with organizations that help me build these networks and it's somehow harder to make friends and connections in Vancouver," adds Kassie. "I've talked to other newcomers and they feel the same way."
But despite Kassie's concerns about the local job market, her face doesn't show it. When asked about her frustrations, Kassie preferred to call them challenges yet to be overcome - challenges she didn't have to deal with, back home.
It's a familiar story. Skilled immigrants entering the province struggle in the labour market and are often under-employed despite a growing skills and labour shortage in BC.
But with help from her new mentor, Kassie's confidence has been restored.
Four months ago, Kassie signed up for a mentoring program delivered through the Immigrant Services Society of BC and coordinated by the Immigrant Employment Council of BC. The program works with employers and immigrant serving agencies to match skilled newcomers with mentors who are Canadian-born and currently employed. Kassie was matched with Patrick Tobin, Regional Executive Director for Canada Heritage, who recently spent three months traveling in India.
"When we met, we quickly realized that we had things in common," says Patrick, who has been with the federal government for 11 years. "We share a desire to contribute to the public good and I found it really interesting that a person as talented as Kassie was looking for work in public service, and not for the obvious reasons such as job security and good compensation, but really because she feels she can give back and contribute through government."
Kassie and Patrick meet roughly once every two weeks at Library Square, among students, families and business people. An appropriate setting to frame a relationship born out of a growing need to strengthen community connections, as BC's population becomes increasingly diverse.
"Our relationship evolved over time," says Patrick with a chuckle. "We moved through many stages and talked about public service hiring, how job postings are structured and discussed Canadian workplace norms."
Kassie would often present a specific opportunity, and they would work on it together. Patrick would reach out to his network of contacts, provide glowing introductions and request intelligence on specific organizations, on her behalf.
"Seeing the arrival experience through Kassie's eyes has taught me a lot," says Patrick. "There are some very pervasive perceptions about immigrants on the part of employers, who have a tendency to discount immigrant labour."
What began as a professional relationship eventually grew into a friendship that included social outings, where they introduced their significant others over dinner.
"He's a very kind person. He's always there to help me," says Kassie with an infectious smile. "And I am glad that this mentoring process has helped me see these 'hidden' or 'unspoken' rules in the job market - and I feel more grounded in my job search."
With renewed vigor, Kassie now feels comfortable picking up the phone to call an employer, whether it be to seek information or schedule an information interview.
"Do you know the expression 'priceless confidence'," Kassie asked with the poise of a college professor. "That's what Patrick has given me - it has been empowering. I now have the fishing skills to fish," she said with a hearty laugh.

For emerging and mid-sized life sciences manufacturers, the Software as a Service (SaaS) approach offers a viable alternative. The SaaS delivery model has grown in popularity over the last few years for its rapid deployments and cost benefits. For companies with limited resources and aggressive timetables, the concept seems attractive. In this white paper, we look at the benefits of an ERP SaaS solution for growing life sciences companies.
Validation becomes an issue in traditional SaaS scenarios. The requirements around GMP and validation require a manufacturer to have its own dedicated server so it can have a documented Installation Qualification (IQ). In a multi-tenant environment, where multiple companies are hosted on a single server, an IQ is impractical. As well, when an update is released, a life sciences company running a validated system can't simply be told, "Your platform will be upgraded on Saturday night."
This white paper looks at the benefits of SaaS in an environment that allows companies the security of a single-tenant environment with industry-specific solutions for life sciences.
