Unanswered: Print to PDF using PDFCreator as Printer
Hi All,
I have the below macro which prints all excel sheets to pdf using pdfcreator as printer, it works absolutely fine but I want to come up with a userform where all excel sheets of a workbook will be listed down and then the user will be able to select the sheets and create the pdf as per his requirement. The Userform will do the following things for user.
1) Userform will allow user to select the sheets which he want to print to pdf.
2) It will allow him to select a option wherein he will able to print multiple sheets to one pdf.
3) If he doesn't select that option it will print each sheet to a separate pdf and save it on a selected path.
I have come up with a userform but I need a help to incorporate the below macro to the same so that they work as per above requirements.

Parents rallied outside the school district building of a small South Jersey town Monday night, demanding that a board member who allegedly assaulted a police officer be fired immediately.
Penns Grove School Board Member Walter Hudson, 33, attacked an officer, according to witnesses at the scene, at Penns Grove Middle School last week. New surveillance video obtained by NBC10 shows a man, who police identified as Hudson, tossing the officer to the ground as children run to the opposite end of the school gym.
Witnesses told NBC10 that the ordeal began as several youth basketball teams were being dismissed. A large group of teens had gathered on school grounds, prompting officials to call police to break up the crowd. As officers tried to manage the crowd, Hudson allegedly interfered. When police warned Hudston to back off, he allegedly shoved an officer to the ground and punched him.
"The officer advised him he was going to be arrested and that's when the altercation happened," said Penns Grove Police Chief Gary Doubledee, who added the assault victim was hospitalized with a torn labrum and had to be sedated. The officer's colleagues tell NBC10 he is still being treated for his injury a week later. They also claim it's the same shoulder that he tore last year.
Hudson was charged with aggravated assault but was released after posting bail on Saturday. During the school board meeting Monday night, parents who attended inside as well as protesters outside the building demanded that the board get rid of Hudson. School board members say their hands are tied however.
"File a complaint,' said Solicitor Mark Toscano of the Penns Grove Board of Education. "Press charges if you feel that way because this board doesn't have the legal ability to give you the redress that you seek."
According to Toscano, under the law the board can't discipline one of its members. Instead it's up to the school ethics commission. Parents say they filed complaints but were told that officials were investigating.
"I'm very disappointed in the whole thing," said Penns Grove Borough Councilman Carl Washington. "But again, my main concern is the youth."
Washington claims that prior to last week's incident, there has never been any sort of violence during the basketball league in 17 years. League officials say they're not allowing Hudson to attend any future events.

TORA Labs: The world's largest software engineering team dedicated to solving problems for hedge funds
TORA Labs is the only organization of its kind in the world
We have a deep bench of engineers who are constantly working on ideas that solve pressing problems for hedge funds. You don't have to give us a crash course in anything. You tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll tell you the smartest way to build it and how to connect it to everything you already have.
Here are examples of the kind of work that comes out of TORA LABS:
A client approached TORA with a problem: they were forced to use multiple trading platforms to simultaneously trade 2,000 cross-currency, cross-asset class pairs across multiple brokers. Each platform had its own quirks and performance issues. The result? Missed opportunities, errors and operational headaches. TORA developed a pairs trading solution that was ten times faster, took advantage of PTSs and alternative liquidity venues and gave the client one set of controls to manage the pairs orders individually and en masse.
During regular review meetings, TORA customers told us that they were concerned about the quality of the fills they were seeing when they participated in various dark pools. Using an in-house developed toxicity analysis tool, TORA worked with clients to determine the differences between fills they were seeing in different broker dark pools. As a result, clients were then able to go back to their brokers, armed with data and specific examples, and change how the brokers executed their orders in dark pools.
Clients were frustrated with accessing off-exchange liquidity because it required a compromise: change their workflow and spend time monitoring orders in dark pools, or only execute on traditional venues and miss out on liquidity and price improvement. Working closely with clients, brokers and exchanges, TORA Labs created a method for clients to continue routing orders to traditional venues, while simultaneously creating shadow orders that search for off-exchange liquidity and price improvement. Both orders are adjusted in real-time as fills come in, with zero risk to the client of overfills. The net effect: best execution, full transparency and complete control. We're the only company that can do this.
Throw a problem at us
If there's something that people are telling you can't be done, give us a shout.

Answers to Why does std::sort assume a std::vector< std::vector<int> > to be a std::vector by default, thereby creating wrong results? ( 1 )
Sorting a container, you need a function that compare couples of element contained in the container.
So, sorting a
std::vector<std::vector<int>>, you need a function that receive a couples of
But your
compare()receive a couple of
That is wrong.
Off Topic: your
compare()function (IMHO) is very dangerous because access to the second element of both vector without checking if they contain at least two elements.
I think you should, at least, use
operator[]; just to perform a bound cecking and, in case, obtain a catchable exception; something like
bool compare(const std::vector <int> & a, const std::vector <int> & b) { return a.at(1) < b.at(1); }
The OP ask
how do I sort it based on an index that is decided in runtime?
Decided how? And where?
Suppose that is decided outside
compare()(in the function that call
std::sort(), by example), you can use a lambda function.
An example
#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> int main() { std::vector <std::vector <int> > dataset; dataset.emplace_back(std::initializer_list<int>{200, 1}); dataset.emplace_back(std::initializer_list<int>{5, 56}); auto val = 1U; std::sort(dataset.begin(), dataset.end(), [val](const std::vector <int> &a, const std::vector <int> &b) { return a.at(val) < b.at(val); }); std::cout << dataset[0][0] << ", " << dataset[0][1] << std::endl; return 0; }

Album Review:Oh! Gravity
Songwriters:Tim Foreman, Jonathan Foreman, Todd Cooper
Genres:Rock, alternative
Notes:Album art taken from Amazon.
General thoughts:If you've listened to Switchfoot for long, then you know the drill. Introspective rock songs are mixed with a few quieter, emotional tracks.
It's not terrible, but the writing feels weaker than their other albums. It just seems to be continuously repeating the same subject of wanting to live for more, but doesn't present it in a fresh way. Plus, the beat is often not that great.
Overall, it's another "listen once and buy the good stuff" album
Track Listing
1. Oh! Gravity
Thoughts:This is about the fact that we can't seem to hold ourselves or our lives together. It's a good headbanger track.
2. American Dream
Thoughts:This is about success being associated with material gain and wanting something better than the endless cycle we call freedom and winning. Meh, it's mediocre.
3. Dirty Second Hands
Thoughts:This one addresses aging and mortality, and sounds like something you might hear a movie villain or harsh mentor say to the hero. When I feel like thinking about the subject matter, it's good.
4. Awakening
Thoughts:This is about feeling and coming alive. Not too bad.
5. Circles
Thoughts:Here, someone is tired of going through the same routine over and over, wondering if there's more. The lyrics are weak at points, but it's still fairly good.
6. Amateur Lovers
Thoughts:Ever notice how people feel the need to be in relationships and have sex even when it's not a good idea? It could have been great, (in the vein of "Easier Than Love"), but it lacks something.
7. Faust, Midas, And Myself
Thoughts:This is a reminder that riches and treasures aren't all they're cracked up to be. It has a unique style to it that I liked.
8. Head Over Heels (In This Life)
Thoughts:This is a tribute to a romantic partner. It's pretty sweet, and should be a hit with couples.
9. Yesterdays
Thoughts:This mourns a deceased friend. It has an appropriately sad and yet hopeful mood, with allusions to the afterlife. Definitely worth a listen.
10. Burn Out Bright
Thoughts:This is about wanting to live a life that means something. I'm not that into in, plus it feels jarringly fast-paced and loud after the last song.
11. 4:12
Thoughts:This is about wanting to believe we are more than material. Meh.
12. Let Your Love Be Strong
Thoughts:This is a quiet song about God being an island of hope and peace in the ocean of destruction and chaos. It serves as a good ending.
So what was your opinion?

Skip to comments.[Governor] Palin Tops Washington Post 2012 GOP Poll
Posted on 11/30/2009 6:14:46 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
While 170 or more voters might have been fooled in the 2009 Values Voter Summit straw poll, it wasnt Mike Huckabee who came out on top in a recent Washington Post poll of the leader who best reflects GOP values.
From CNN:
According to the poll, 18 percent of Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP say the former Alaska governor best reflects core GOP values. In second place, 5 points back, is Sen. John McCain of Arizona, last years Republican presidential nominee, followed by former Arkansas governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee at 7 percent, former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney at 6 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 4 percent and conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh at 2 percent. Other current Republican leaders were picked by 1 percent or less of those questioned in the poll.
The #2 group that said John McCain must not have woke up since sometime in 1998. Or perhaps theyre delusional RINOs who think slightly less liberal than the average Democrat = GOP values.
And with only 2% for Rush Limbaugh, respondents must have been taking into consideration the high degree of unlikelihood that Limbaugh will ever run for president, because purely on ideology, it would be hard to find a better reflection of Republican values.
Palin also came out on top when respondents were asked who theyd back in 2012:
Palin also tops the list of potential 2012 Republican presidential hopefuls. According to the poll, 17 percent of Republican voters say theyd back last years GOP vice presidential nominee if their states caucus or primary were being held today, with Huckabee at 10 percent, Romney at 9 percent and McCain with 2 percent support. Huckabee, Palin and Romney have topped most national surveys of the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
I dont know whether Ill back Palin if she runs in 2012. I was a solid supporter until she resigned as governor of Alaska before her term ended. I understand the pressures and tremendous amount of time being wasted to fight off bogus charge by liberal haters, but I just cant overlook that she quit the race before it was done.
Regardless, itll be interesting to see what happens in 2012. I think genuine Republicans are done with limited primary engagement and with backing RINOs because the party establishment says they should.
Huckabee is a self proclaimed contented one with the "GIG" he has at FOX news. LOL!
It's way too early for 2012, but you have to admit she is a very shrewd tactician. She is showing her ability to rally people, which will be necessary for 2010, proving many political iou's. She can use them in 2012, or 2016. Respect!
Olberman and some slut attacked palin on his show tonight. She sure has them scared.
I dont care if she runs or not, but I sure enjoy the way she makes those liberals sweat.

Jason Derek Brown craved attention. He sure has had it the last eight years.
In 2004, police allege, he shot armored-car guard Robert Keith Palomares in the head, killing him, outside a movie theater in the Phoenix suburb of Ahwatukee, then fled on a bicycle with $56,000 in cash. He and his grin made the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, but investigators are still looking for the Mormon missionary turned accused murderer who, after a lavish life of parties, expensive cars and the spotlight, vanished.
"With the commonness of his name and how he looks, like a surfer dude in California, we've had more tips [about this] fugitive than any other on 'America's Most Wanted.' It's caused us to chase leads all around the world," said Lance Leising, the lead FBI agent on the case.
The FBI suspects that he could be hiding among Mormons. Good at lying and convincing people that he's someone else, Brown could be taking advantage of a gullible member's philanthropy. His ability to blend is one reason Brown's on the Top 10 Most Wanted, Leising said.
Phoenix Police Detective Paul Dalton won't divulge much about their strategies to find Brown. But it's going to be "outside-of-the-box" thinking that takes Brown off the FBI list, he said.
Dalton suggested law enforcement is looking to Brown's past for clues about his present. Dalton suspects Brown could be the perpetrator of any number of unsolved petty thefts and home invasions prior to Palomares' murder. Identifying traces of Brown in such past crimes may be the break that law enforcement is looking for.
"This was not his first rodeo, I'm gonna be honest," Dalton said, speaking from 15 years of investigating homicides. "How do you graduate from petty theft to cold-blooded murder?"
Brown, now 43, lived in Sugar House just months prior to the murder. Two weeks before the crime, he bought a .45-caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun and expensive high-powered rounds from Totally Awesome Guns and Range in Kearns – the same gun and ammo that killed Palomares – and took a shooting class from W. Clark Aposhian, now-chairman of the Utah Shooting Sports Council.
Aposhian remembers Brown. The photo that the FBI uses for the wanted poster – Brown grinning at the camera in a hoodie with spiked blonde hair – was the one Aposhian took while Brown was earning a concealed weapons permit.
Brown pulled up to the store in a new BMW 3 Series, and was persistent that he take a class that day. He did not know how to handle a pistol, Aposhian recalled. Brown was a cocky, laid-back California "surfer dude" concerned about his appearance, he said.
By the end of the four-hour class, Brown had honed his accuracy to a small cluster on the targets, hitting within about an inch and a half of the intended spot. He bought a gun with ammunition and walked out the door.
On Nov. 29, 2004, Brown didn't miss, police say.
That morning, Palomares, 24, arrived in front of the Arizona movie theater at an outdoor mall in a Dunbar armored car. Investigators believe Brown made routine stops in the mall as well, sitting in the parking lot timing the arrival of the armored car and stopping by a mall coffee shop where he asked a barista about the vehicle.
Brown waited for the courier to leave the AMC theater with its Thanksgiving weekend box office. As Palomares exited the theater with the bag full of money, police suspect Brown, dressed in all black with a hood, walked up to him in broad daylight and shot him five times in the head. Brown then fled with the loot to a back alley, where he had stashed his getaway mountain bike.
Palomares was pronounced dead at a hospital. He had been married a little more than a year.
"This poor victim didn't have a chance," Dalton said.
There was a lot of planning involved, but as Dalton puts it, the perfect crime isn't perfect all the time.
The day before the murder, Brown practiced shooting and hit a man's vehicle with the same type of top-of-the-line bullets that killed the guard. He even left his name with the vehicle owner.
Police believe after Brown committed the murder he fled on a bicycle that he later ditched on the side of the road, but he failed to wipe it clean of his fingerprints, which were already on record from when he bought a gun earlier that month.
As Aposhian pointed out, Brown taking one of his classes made him easier to track.
"You're looking at a guy who planned it very well but made a lot of mistakes along the way," Dalton said.
Investigators hope for another mistake to help them catch Brown. But so far, it's been a lot of dead ends.
In the past few years, officers and FBI agents have confronted at least six men on suspicion that they were Brown. But they were look-alikes.
Twice tips have led them to a body double for movie star Sean Penn, with whom Brown bears a resemblance. Ninety-nine percent of the FBI's leads have gone nowhere, though Leising said there are still a few people they have not been able to rule out as Brown.
The FBI finally caught James "Whitey" Bulger, a former organized crime boss who used to share a spot on the FBI list with Brown, after about 16 years in hiding after they received a tip from a woman who recognized his face on TV.
"It took a good tip from someone who saw the photos That's what we're hoping here," Leising said.
Wherever he is, Brown probably has given up the party-boy lifestyle to stay hidden. He had been so over-the-top before the robbery, if he kept it up after, he'd be in handcuffs, Leising said.
Brown was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Orange County, an affluent beach-lined section of southern California that's home to Disneyland and celebrities. It's the sort of county where TV shows like "Laguna Beach" were filmed.
Brown, an avid golfer, snowboarder, skier and dirt biker, was used to a certain level of excitement and pleasure. According to the FBI, Brown lived a lavish life of frequenting nightclubs and showing off his high-priced cars, boats and other toys. He enjoyed being the center of attention.
FBI Special Agent Manuel Johnson once said this violent murder isn't normal for someone with Brown's background. The same man who once appeared on the same list as Osama bin Laden served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in France. Brown later earned a master's degree in international business. He started two businesses, Toys Unlimited and On the Doorstep Advertising, in Salt Lake City.
But a lot of it was appearances, Leising said, describing Brown as a "$30,000 millionaire." His Salt Lake City businesses were store-front scams, and acquaintances said that he may have never worked a real job a day in his life, he added. Leising suspects Brown – though he has never been charged – ran check and bank fraud scams for years in order to finance his self-image.
Dalton suspects that at some point, Brown was running low on money.
"He wanted this lifestyle and suddenly it stopped. So bam," Dalton said, he robbed and killed a man.
Dalton sees the suspect as "just another thug," a criminal who slipped up.
The last hard trace of Brown shortly after the robbery was his car, ditched in the parking lot of the Portland International Airport. It seemed extremely likely then that he'd gone overseas, with his fluent French and international business degree, Leising said. But the agent suspects Brown is back in the states.
In August 2008, an old friend of Brown said he spotted the fugitive at a stoplight near the Hogle Zoo. But the familiar face drove off. That made one of several sightings of Brown in the prior weeks, and the last confirmed one.
Aposhian said that nothing about Brown stood out as a murderer. In fact, if he could do it all over again, he wouldn't change a thing.
In the years since the two parted ways, Aposhian has kept a closer eye on his students, keeping an ear out for unusual remarks and weighing them against Brown. He's told people to leave his class.
One morning, soon after the armed robbery, the phone rang at Totally Awesome Guns and Range. It was Palomares' mother.
He was apprehensive about taking the call. He didn't know what to expect on the other end. But they didn't talk about Brown once. She had some questions for him about guns and told him about her son.
"She just wanted some closure," he said.

How To Find a Reputable Local Jeweler You Can Trust
Sooner or later, almost everyone needs a local jeweler. Maybe Grandma's ring needs an appraisal, or you need to have a diamond set into a mounting, or you need to buy an anniversary gift. Jewelry is expensive and usually has a lot of sentiment attached to it. Whether you want to purchase a special gift or need your own jewelry repaired, it can be daunting to find someone you can trust.
Here's how to find a great, reputable jeweler in your area:
Ask your family, friends, and colleagues.
This can often be a good place to start. You should still apply the following tips and questions to their suggestion to make sure the recommendation is very qualified.
Search for key jewelry industry affiliations like AGS or JVC.
Once you have a recommendation, or if you still need a couple of names, there are some jewelry industry organizations that can be a good screening criteria. One of the first things I look for is membership in the American Gem Society. It's a jewelry trade organization that requires high levels of product knowledge, and very strict ethical standards regarding representation and pricing. Jewelers who are members must be tested every year to maintain their membership. Another organization is the Jeweler's Vigilance Committee, or JVC. This non-profit helps jewelers maintain high ethical standards by keeping their members up-to-date on all the legal compliance rules within the jewelry industry. JVC members pay dues and agree to uphold the ethics established through their own business practices. You can also contact JVC to find out if a jeweler has had a complaint lodged against them. Not all reputable jewelers are members of these orgs, nor does membership automatically guarantee a great customer experience, but it's a good place to start.
Check for an online presence.
Once you have a couple of potential names, google or bing them. Some local jewelers are not terribly tech-savvy, but I prefer companies that have at least a decent online presence for a couple of reasons. First, it shows a certain commitment to innovation that I think is indicative of how they run their business in general. And second, if they are online they are one click away from any of their on-line competitors, and hopefully understand competitive pricing of diamonds and other jewelry basics that consumers are shopping for online. If they have some sort of verbage on their homepage or "About Me" that says they are committed to competitive pricing, so much the better. Once you have found their website, you can see what designers and jewelry lines they carry, and if their hours and location will work for you.
Now some questions for them…
Do they have a Certified or Graduate Gemologist on staff? A bench jeweler on-site for repairs? On-site jewelry appraiser? These criteria can predict a higher level of service for the customer. A GIA-educated salesperson (with a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America) can give you the best product knowledge and help you with your purchase. A bench jeweler located in the store can set, size, or repair most jewelry without it having to leave the store, and sometimes they can do it while you wait. An appraiser on staff can help assign a replacement value to your own jewelry or answer detailed product questions you might have.
How competitive is their pricing?
When I do my screening for my Local Jeweler recommendations, I will call potential jewelers to ask them about a certain size and quality of GIA or AGS-certified diamond. I do a lot of research online, so I know competitive pricing for online merchants and I feel that physical jewelers should be within about 15% of online diamond pricing. If they are much over that, it's just not competitive for consumers and I move on. Physical jewelers have some good reasons to charge a little more for their diamonds: they keep some diamonds in stock vs. the feeds (lists) of diamonds that online loose diamond suppliers–most online retailers don't actually have any diamonds in house. Carrying that inventory is capital-intensive for the physical jeweler. Good, reputable physical jewelers also have an educated staff to show you those actual diamonds and explain the quality and value differences to you. They can also help you select the best setting, and size and set it all for you. That's a lot of overhead compared to lean online operations. For a recent post about on-line versus off-line mark ups, click here.
Once you have a couple of names, head in to the store.
Making an appointment isn't a necessity, but it might be more efficient. A good jeweler will ask some key questions and really listen to what you're looking for, and then can do some research before you come in. Set aside some time to really look around and talk to the salesperson. This is about a relationship. If you feel rushed, or feel like they have an agenda to stick something down your throat that is NOT what you are looking for, MOVE ON. You should be able to think things over and take your time making a decision. You should feel appreciated, taken care of, listened to, and leave feeling that you got a great VALUE. If there is something in your gut that doesn't feel right, trust yourself and your instincts. There are lots of great jewelers out there; you will find one.
Bottom Line:
Dollar for dollar, sometimes the best value can be found at a local independent jeweler. You get the value of their knowledge and experience firsthand. The best jewelers are committed to their community, and often support important local philanthropic causes. They are nice people trying to make a living in a challenging industry, and truly want you to get the best quality and value. I have had opportunities to work with some great jewelers and have assembled a list of qualified referrals in a number of metro areas in the country. I am happy to pass along my vetted names of jewelers to those who need it. Submit a request for me on my Local Jewelers tab, and I would be happy to recommend someone in your area. Happy (Local) Shopping!

Updated for 2017!
Disney World vacation souvenirs are expensive. As soon as you announce plans for your upcoming Orlando trip, friends will start casually saying, "Hey, bring me something back from Disney World." Well now the pressure is on, and you have to decide if you will spend the big bucks or look for small trinkets. $35 t-shirts and $59 sweatshirts will kill your budget; I don't always fit those items in my budget for myself. You may need something way less expensive.
I spent a lot of time looking around the gift shops as a child in the 70s, and these items remind me of childhood vacations munching on candy we could afford to buy in the parks. You know kids usually can't afford much else.
Say hello to the Disney lollypops! [Read more…]

Not for the first time this season, David Moyes found himself looking to the heavens from the Manchester United dug-out, but not even the sight of a plane trailing a banner calling for an end to his regime could mask the ray of light shining down on Old Trafford.
With his reign as manager lurching from chaos to calm and back again this season, this emphatic victory against Aston Villa helped banish the storm clouds that have taken residence over the club in recent weeks.
They may return, with European champions Bayern Munich ready to test United's resolve in the Champions League on Tuesday, but with Wayne Rooney scoring twice before goals from Juan Mata and Javier Hernández confirmed a comfortable win, Moyes and his players will at least face Pep Guardiola's team with some of their confidence restored.
There can be no escaping the fact that the Theatre of Dreams has been more like a torture chamber for Moyes this season, however. A disappointing campaign plumbed new depths with humiliating 3-0 defeats at home to Liverpool and Manchester City, results which prompted the pre-match stunt of a plane being flown over Old Trafford trailing a 'Wrong One – Moyes Out' banner.
The plane's mission had gained so much publicity ahead of the game that much of its sting was dulled when Moyes, walking to the dug-out before the teams emerged, received rapturous applause from the supporters inside the ground.
By the time the plane buzzed overhead, followed by a second plane carrying bookmakers' odds, all eyes were on the pitch, with the stadium largely ignoring the dogfight in the sky.
The reality for Moyes is that results, rather than publicity stunts, will ultimately decide his fate as United manager, which is why this win was so important.
The victory had to be earned, though, with Villa scoring first through Ashley Westwood.
Falling behind has become a habit for Moyes's team. Prior to Westwood's freekick, United had conceded the first goal in 15 league games this season, losing 10 of those and fighting back to win on only three occasions.
Having failed to collect three points for a win in a home match since the end of January, United's confidence would have been badly dented by Westwood's set-piece from 20 yards in the thirteenth minute, which came after Rafael's foul on Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Villa, needing to bounce back from a trauma of their own following last week's hammering at home against Stoke City, deserved their goal having started brightly, but taking the lead appeared to intimidate them.
Rather than push United back in search of a second, Paul Lambert's young team retreated, giving the home team encouragement to chase a quick equaliser.
And it duly came on 20 minutes when Shinji Kagawa clipped a cross into the penalty area for Rooney to head past Brad Guzan.
Rooney's two goals at West Ham last Saturday moved him clear of Jack Rowley into third on United's all-time list of leading goalscorers behind Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton.
He went into this game 25 goals adrift of Law and 37 short of Charlton's tally, but he shortened the odds of overtaking both by levelling the scores with his stooping header from six yards.
Incredibly, by beating Guzan, Rooney ended a personal goal drought at Old Trafford stretching back to his strike against Stoke at the end of October.
United's equaliser lifted the mood in the stands and on the pitch. Mata and Kagawa flitted between Villa's midfield and defensive lines, playing quick one-twos and finding team-mates with simple passes. And it was more good work by the pair which led to United's second goal, a Rooney penalty, one minute before half-time.
Mata, receiving a pass from Kagawa, was bundled to the ground by Villa full-back Leandro Bacuna. Martin Atkinson pointed instantly to the spot and Rooney stepped up to convert his second of the game.
Villa responded well, however, and Christian Benteke twice went close to equalising inside the first 10 minutes of the second-half.
But just as Lambert's team threatened to level the scores, Mata made the game safe with his first goal for United since his £37 million club record transfer from Chelsea in January.
With Ron Vlaar making a hash of clearing the ball from Marouane Fellaini, Mata was left with a clear strike on goal from six yards, which he put away with his right foot at the Stretford End.
Rooney came close to sealing his hat-trick on 71 minutes, but Guzan denied him a gilt-edged chance. However, the emphatic victory Moyes yearned for was secured in stoppage time when Hernández, on as a substitute, slid in at the far post to convert Adnan Januzaj's cross from two yards.
Man Utd (4-2-3-1): De Gea 6; Rafael 7 (Carrick 46), Vidic 7, Jones 7, Buttner 7; Fellaini 6, Fletcher 7; Young 7, Mata 8, Kagawa 8 (Januzaj 68); Rooney 7 (Hernández 75). Subs not used: Giggs, Nani, Welbeck, Amos. Booked: Da Silva,Buttner.

The mayor of a city targeted by New Jersey's Gov. Chris Christie's administration with bridge lane closures in an act of political retribution said he was "glad" Christie visited his town on Thursday.
Christie traveled to Fort Lee, N.J., on Thursday to apologize to the city's mayor, Mark Sokolich (D), after it was revealed that members of his administration had discussions with state transportation officials about closing lanes on the George Washington Bridge in September.
Sokolich had previously said that he was not interested in hearing a personal apology from Christie, saying instead the governor should apologize to the citizens of Fort Lee.
But Sokolich said in an interview on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" he was "glad" Christie came to visit on Thursday.
"I'm glad that he came," Sokolich said. "The suggestion that he not come was not to be disrespectful in any manner, shape or form. It just seems that this continues, you know, as there are just more and more facts, and there seems to be more and more chapters that just haven't been read yet. So, we thought that, perhaps, it would be best to wait. He insisted on coming. We also said that if he came, he would be welcomed because that's the way we are here in Fort Lee."
Christie said in a marathon news conference on Thursday he thought it was important to travel to Fort Lee to personally apologize to citizens there.
"Later today, I'm going to be going to be going to Fort Lee," Christie said in his Thursday morning press conference. "I've asked to meet with the mayor and apologize to him personally, face to face, and also to apologize to the people of Fort Lee in their town. I think they need to see me do that personally, and I intend to do that later on today. People of those communities for four days were impacted in a completely callous and indifferent way, and I'm going to go and apologize for that."
Christie made clear he was going to travel to Fort Lee whether Sokolich wanted him to or not.
"If he won't see me, I'll go see other people in Fort Lee," he said. "I mean I wish he would see me, but if — I'm certainly not going to like barge into his office. If he doesn't want to see me, then I'll go someplace else in Fort Lee and talk to people in Fort Lee."
Sokolich later reversed course and said he would greet Christie, and the two later met in private.
Political observers have speculated Sokolich might attempt to parlay the name recognition he has gained from the bridge flap with Christie into a future gubernatorial run in New Jersey. But Sokolich told MSNBC's Maddow he did not have any higher political ambition.
"I've reached my political mountain top," Sokolich said. "I have no such aspiration, and I'm here to serve the people of Fort Lee."

Drew's signature brand of mountain cuisine is one of the gems of the Jackson dining scene. Locals clamor to the Grill at the debut of each seasonal menu not only to get their fill of Drew's classic dishes, along with the most impeccable service, but also to experience his latest creations.
I sat down with Drew over cappuccino recently to learn the secret of his new- found fitness (and the recipe for that Green Goddess sauce I've been obsessing over.)
Before moving to Jackson, Drew was chef de cuisine at Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe. Easy access to the mountains and rivers fueled his passion for kayaking, and he and his sous chef often found time to squeeze in a paddle before work. "As soon as we got on the water, the stress would just melt away. It was cool because we'd be kind of in the weeds the days we went kayaking, but we'd always catch up."
"After fifteen years at the Grill, I was just not living healthy day in and day out," says Drew. He plugged away for years without a fitness/adrenaline fix until two years ago when a friend recommended he try one of those new carbon fiber racing bikes. "So I rented one and went for a ride. Before long I was addicted."
When his sous chef returned to Jackson and was back at the Grill, it was a game-changer for Drew. "That was huge," he says. "I didn't have to be on the stoves 24/7. Having Kyle run the kitchen has been a big part of me being able to ride and be on my phone checking in."
The first time he heard of LOTOJA, the elite amateur road cycling race that spans four mountain passes and gains 7000 feet of elevation over more than 200 miles from Logan, UT to Jackson, WY, Drew's first thought was: "No way. Two hundred miles in one day?" He registered, snagged a spot, and never looked back.
It quickly became apparent that the less weight he was carrying around, the better. "You can spend a thousand dollars and shave a pound off your bike," he says, "or you can spend a couple of bucks, go to the gym and lose weight."
He started getting up early to hit the gym before breakfast. "After breakfast, I'd head to the restaurant and work until 2 or 3. Get in 30 or 40 miles {on the bike}, shower and then go back to the restaurant."
Once Drew was deep into training, a change in his diet was inevitable. "I wouldn't say I got on the gluten-free wagon, but I dropped a lot of it. I love dairy, but I cut back on that too. I still ate super rich European style yogurt in the morning."
Breaking his caloric intake into five meals a day, he swapped his daily taco lunch at the restaurant for a plate of greens with a grilled protein. Most of his calories were eaten in the afternoon. At night, when service was over, he'd have just a salad.
Wine? "I was unwilling to give up my love of wine, but I did cut back. And I cut way back on other drinks like spirits."
And what about coffee? Well, you could say coffee fueled Drew's fitness routine. "I drank tons of coffee: a double espresso before the gym, a pot of coffee after. At 3 in the afternoon, I'd have another pot of coffee."
As LOTOJA loomed closer, he ramped up his training a notch. After hitting a plateau in the summer, he knew to add more intervals to his regimen. "Towards the end, the guys {from One to One Wellness} had me on the high school field dragging a sled up and down, doing intervals, as they ran next to me with a stop watch. They put 45-pound dumbbells on top of it."
By race day, Drew had dropped twenty-nine pounds—down to the weight he had been in tenth grade. "Then I cut my hair and lost another three-quarters of a pound!"
The finish line of LOTOJA found him surrounded by his wife, training partners and friends. "Are you going to do it again?" was the inevitable question. "My wife said: Are you kidding? I said: I have to do it faster."
After LOTOJA, Drew put on ten pounds right away. "That was hard. But now I know that's going to happen. The shoulder season is tricky — traveling and eating in restaurants makes it tough to stay on a workout routine. But now I know I can train when I get home and get that fitness back."
LOTOJA 2017 is coming up in September and Drew is gearing up. Summer is also the busiest time at the Snake River Grill as visitors and locals keep the restaurant solidly booked. With one summer juggling training and the restaurant under his belt, Drew's not too worried about sticking to his routine. "I did it last summer and was successful. I know I can do it again. And having great staff, like Kyle, means I don't have to be constantly at the stove."
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but a basket of bread (and that addictive whipped butter with chives) no long arrives at the table first thing. "But I didn't want it to be like we were taking something away," says Drew. "So I had this idea of replacing it {bread} with crudité. It's kind of retro but it's back in style."
Crudité needs a great sauce, so Drew got to work revamping the Green Goddess of decades past. "We took out the anchovies to make it vegetarian, added avocado and gave it a hit of salt."
Just in case you are missing the bread basket when you sit down to eat at the Grill, Drew added a menu item he calls "better than bread": baked-to-order Brioche Rolls which come straight from the oven in all of their gluten-full goodness, and are served with a salsa verde butter.

On our first full day in Knoxville, it would not be a Blackwell trip if we didn't go to a science museum, so we went to the American Museum of Science and Energy. Both boys readily volunteered for being in a presentation that involved a Van de Graaff Generator. Cava was a little more wary of touching it . . .
Benjamin, on the other hand, was thrilled to get to touch one again.
After the presentation, it was off to exploring the rest of the museum.
Whether it was working with the robotic arms . . .
Or learning about different types of energy, including nuclear power.
Including Benjamin pretending to be Major Kong at the end of Dr. Strangelove . . .
Cava loved learning about atoms, especially when I explained that the nucleus is like the parent and the electrons orbiting the nucleus are like the children running round the parent trying to get his or her attention.
Everyone enjoyed the museum, but the boys were ready to get rid of some energy at a nearby park.
We had researched ahead of time and found out that if you went to Dollywood after 3 pm, you could return on the same ticket for free the next day. So we decided to do this on Wednesday afternoon.
Since we were there during the International Festival, we searched around the park among all the flags trying to find one for Ukraine, but were unable to locate it. Cava did find Ukraine on a map.
And when we rode the bumper cars, Cava picked a blue and yellow one since it was the colors of the Ukrainian flag. As excited as he was to find one that color, he delightedly cackled with glee every time he rammed his bumper car into the one with Mommy and Benjamin.
As we rode the old 192 train, Cava told me all about how he rode a train from the place where the orphanage he had been in to the boarding school where we had met him.
Day two started off with roller coasters! First Thunderhead, a wooden coaster with a 100 foot drop. As we waited in the line, we were discussing how "crazy" this day was going to be and Cava topped us all with, "It's going to be C-A-V-A crazy!"
Then it was on to the Mystery Mine. A line that was supposed to take us only 45 minutes, ended up taking over an hour and twenty-five because, just as we were about to get on a car, they decided to add another car to the track. Cava didn't take the wait too well and I had to calm his anger and tears. Once we finally did get on the coaster, it was two indoor 95 degree vertical hills with an 85 foot drop and a burst of flame. Of course Cava had to sit in the front seat.
After that, we had some more problems with rides and tempers as we got in line for Smoky Mountain River Rampage, only to have the ride break down before we got on it. Then it happened again with Blazin' Fury. By this time, both boys were frustrated and ready to call it quits. Having just paid over $200 for us to come, Danelle and I were not about to leave.
Taking a break from rides, we went to eat lunch. As we did, our family met Lilian the Chicken Lady. She came to our table, serenaded us on banjo. Cava thought it was really funny when Lilian paid attention to Benjamin.
But he didn't think so once the tiny rubber chicken was dancing on his head.
After lunch, we rode FireChaser Express, got soaked on Daredevil Falls, rushed down the Mountain Sidewinder, and checked out the eagle sanctuary, watched a show with Bald Eagles and hawks, ate funnel cake, as well as went through the Dolly Parton Museum called Chasing Rainbows. Benjamin knew the song "Jolene," but Cava had no clue who Dolly Parton was. He was excited to see that she had been on Alvin and the Chipmunks. Needless to say, we need to expose that boy to some "9 to 5" and "Here You Come Again." Not sure if he's ready to hear Danelle and I duet to "Islands in the Stream." Or, perhaps, "Coat of Many Colors" . . .
The boys even wanted to pose in front of a car they said reminded them of the one on The Andy Griffith Show.
In the end, both boys agreed that they had enjoyed themselves overall and had a pretty good day. Benjamin's favorite was the explosive FireChaser Express coaster. Cava being Cava, said his favorite was some ducks we saw. Danelle and I agreed that our next trip will contain less manufactured moments that one gets at amusement parks and more where we can truly spend time with each other and not going from one line to the next to ride something.
Still, we loved getting to see Uncle Doug and Aunt Mickie. Cava said his favorite part of the whole trip was watching birds from their back deck. They gave him a book on different birds and we just need to get him some good binoculars and we might just have a true bird watcher on our hands.

How does one describe The Apple? It's a futuristic morality play that is cheesily realized and not terribly moral. To director Menahem Golan the future (distant 1994 to be exact) seemed to consist entirely of people wearing spandex, animal prints, and neon lame.
The first time I saw it, I really didn't know anything about it. In the beginning it seems to be a straightforward story of young people being seduced by the glamour of the music industry. A duo of folk singers that lose at an American Idol-like singing contest, but are noticed by Mr. Boogalow, the most powerful music producer of 1994. He invites them to a party and suddenly, in the middle of the debauched festivities, this happens:
I remember yelling out, "What the hell is going on?!?" Nothing that preceded it prepared me for the movie turning into a musical. And the rest of the movie is a procession of one sidesplitting musical number after another as the young pair of singers are alternately mesmerized and horrified by the high life. The girl is dazzled by the glitzy new world, while her head-on-his-shoulders boyfriend is not fooled by the readily available sex and drugs. The movie really falls off the rails when it turns into an ill-conceived religious parable, complete with a breathtakingly hilarious musical number in hell and a visit from God himself or, as he calls himself, Mr. Tops, who leads all the good hippies off into the clouds. The Apple could have been subtitled All Hippies Go to Heaven.
There were several more scenes and numbers I could have posted here (including the aforementioned number in Hell), but I'll just post this bit of inanity, which looks like a cross between a Vegas floorshow and a junior college production of Jesus Christ Superstar staged in the lobby of a Midwestern convention center.
It's brilliant – and not for the reasons intended.

Beatbox Christmas Carol Singing
Deck tha hall with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la la la la la,
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la la la,
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, yye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous all together,
Fa la la la la la la,
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's a
feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
And on ev'ry street
corner you hear:
CHORUS: Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights, even stoplights,
blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with
their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
this is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you hear:
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
o'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing,
A sleighing song tonight!
CHORUS: Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh!
Day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie Bright
Was seated by my side.
he horse was lean and lank,
Misfortune seem'd his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we, we got upsot:
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young;
Take the girls tonight,
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed nag,
Two forty for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh,
And crack! you'll take the lead.
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly host sing, Alleluia,
Christ, the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.
Here we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand'ring,
So fair to be seen:
CHORUS: Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too;
And God bless you and send you
a happy New Year,
And Good send you a happy New Year.
We are not daily beggars
That beg from door to door;
But we are neighbors
Whom you have seen before:
Good master and mistress,
As you sit by the fire,
Pray think of us poor children,
Who wander in the mire:
God bless the master of this house,
Likewise the mistress, too,
And all the little children,
That round the table go:
Up on the house-top reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus;
Down through the chimney with lots
of toys,
All for the little ones, Christmas joys.
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go!
Up on the house-top click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with
old Saint Nick.
Away in a manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay.
Away in manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.;
I love Thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. A hay.
The little Lord Jesus. asleep on the Hay.
Martin Luther
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Edmund Hamilton Sears
Irish Carol
Christmas day is come; let's all prepare for mirth, Which fills the heavens and earth at this amazing birth.
Through both the joyous angels in strife and hurry fly, with glory and hosannas, "All holy" do they cry,
In heaven the Church triumphant adores with all her choirs,
The militant on earth with humble faith admires.
But why should we rejoice? Should we not rather mourn
To see the hope of nations thus in a stable born?
Where are his crown and scepter, where is his throne sublime,
Where is the train majestic that should the stars outshine?
There no sumptuous palace nor any inn at all
To lodge his heavenly mother but in a filthy stall?
The Christmas Waltz
Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted canny canes on the the tree
Santa's on his way,
He's filled his slay
With things, things for you and for me
It's the time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas to you

Karel Martens: Recent Work opens this weekend in NYC
The Dutch designer's first solo exhibition in North America brings a selection of work, including a new letterpress print series, to New York's P! gallery from Sunday.
Alongside Martens' trademark over-printed works, the designer and typographer is also set to show a clock sculpture made from three coloured disks, a video installation piece and a modular "conceptual wallpaper system", according to P!.
Martens' work was part of P!'s inaugural show in 2012 and this new solo exhibition forms part of the project space and gallery's final programme at its Broome Street base in NYC, which runs to May 2017.
Martens' abstract works on found card sometimes contain as many as ten overprints and have become one of his most recognisable – and most admired – forms of graphic expression.
Perhaps his most well-known iteration of this method is the motif (see first image below) that was eventually used on the cover of his book, Printed matter / Drukwerk, first published in 1996 and coveted by graphic designers ever since (the second and third editions of the book have long since sold out; Hyphen Press has a good history of the book at hyphenpress.co.uk).
Martens sheds more light on his working process – and discusses many of these individual works – in a recent interview with the New York Times' T magazine at nytimes.com.
Karel Martens: Recent Work is at P!, 334 Broome Street, New York, NY 10002 from September 11 until October 30. See p-exclamation.com.

Bankrupt subdivisions leave some Loudon County residents in a bind
MIKE KRAFCIK-6 News Reporter
LENOIR CITY (WATE) - One sign of the upheaval in the housing market and the economy over the past few years is half-built subdivisions with streets laid out and only a smattering of houses.
A subdivision in Loudon County could have taxpayers shouldering some extra costs as a result.
Loudon County Commission tabled a resolution to accept the three roads within Amberly Meadows subdivision.
Residents there wonder who will take care of their roads.
"We'd just like to go the county to take over our roads, put some street signs up, and eventually do some paving, you know, and some maintenance, you know," said Otis Peterson, an Amberly Meadows resident. "We pay pretty high taxes here and we think they should be taking care of our roads."
The county says the roads still require a one-and-a-half inch coat of asphalt to meet standards. Estimates are that it will cost around $50,000 to pay for the upgrades.
The developers of Amberly Meadows went bankrupt, and BB&T, the bank that financed the development, had its line of credit run on it.
"We're caught between a rock and a hard place," said Loudon County Commissioner Brian Jenkins. "We've got compassion for these people, but we're also not trying to set a precedent for a developer's shortfall."
Similar situations are happening at other subdivisions. The owner of Hampton Place in Loudon went bankrupt, too.
The roads were never accepted by the county. There are no streetlights, not even a cul-de-sac. Many are blaming the banks and the city.
"We thought we were protected by the city officials, by having performance bonds and letters of credit, but once developers started to go bankrupt, it seemed that like these bonds weren't enforced or these letters of credit weren't called in," said Tim Scott, a Hampton Roads resident.
Residents of the Sweetwater Creek subdivision in Loudon are moving forward after the developer of that neighborhood went bankrupt. BB&T took over ownership of the development.
There are still around 70 empty lots, and the Sweetwater Creek Home Owners Association says HOA members pay dues each year for road maintenance, lighting and lawn care.
Commissioner Jenkins says commission is waiting to hear the county attorney's opinion on what direction they'll go on Amberly Meadows.
"It's just a matter of right now who wants to be responsible to bring these to roads to where the county can accept them?" Commissioner Jenkins said.
Loudon County Commission meets next on June 18.

Holding Out For A Hero---song by Frou Frou, shrek 2 theme.

no body knows death note?
by HIkaru no go author?
I know Death Note and I've been addicted to it for the past week. xD It's the most fantastic thing I've read in a while. :D
Other than that, I have no idea what you're talking about and that link is dead. :p
how about this ~one~
If Death Note were an anime, that would be a great idea for an AMV! I've never seen someone put a song into a manga like that, but I liked it. It would've helped if they had the song music on the site though.
Poor Misa. I think Raito's going to kill her.
i hope he doesn't
-=*(~~~~~~ she's so nice =)
thank you~
i got guite a lot of manga-song, thougt most of them in chinese~

The Client: Since launching in April 2006, megabus.com has served more than 15 million passengers throughout more than 70 major cities in the Midwest and Northeast of the USA and Canada.
The Opportunity: MegaBus was looking to equip their luxury single and double deckers with free wi-fi, in addition to at-seat plug-ins, panoramic windows and a green alternative way to travel.
The Solution: SinglePoint coordinated and shipped WiFi In Motion devices directly to Van Hool (the bus manufacturer) in Belgium for installation on the factory floor. The WiFi In Motion unit was installed throughout the entire MegaBus fleet, allowing them to offer free, high-speed wireless internet to their customers.
Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority
The Client: The Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority (VTA) maintains a fleet of 100 light rail vehicles and 425 buses that serve Silicon Valley. VTA employs approximately 2,100 employees and had a combined ridership of nearly 42 million people in 2010, with an average of 135,000 passengers each weekday.
The Opportunity: VTA wanted to create the world's first all-4G wireless communications system for light rail trains and busses, giving the many people who work in Silicon Valley and commute the WiFi needed to check email, upload and download documents, view websites and more.
The Solution: In 2011, the WiFi In Motion device was installed throughout the entire VTA fleet of light rail trains and a portion of their buses. Vehicles were equipped with the ruggedized mobile cellular router, delivering wireless internet connectivity with an average download speed of over 6 Mbps at 55 MPH. The project was selected as an award finalist for Transit Project of the Year in the California Transportation Foundation's 23rd annual CTF Transportation Awards.
Contra Costa Health Services Public Health
The Client: Contra Costa Health Services Public Health division promotes and protects the health and wellbeing of the individual, family and community in California's Contra Costa County. They work in partnership with local school districts and homeless providers to increase access to medical services for low-income and homeless students and individuals who might not otherwise receive the care they need. Approximately 20 schools and 14 homeless organizations receive low-cost, on-site, accessible, medical and preventative services..
The Opportunity: Contra Costa Health Services sought to improve the performance of their mobile clinics by streamlining clinic operation with the help of a mobile WiFi solution.
The Solution: SinglePoint coordinated and shipped Wifi In Motion devices to Contra Costa Health Services. The new WiFi solution has been well received by the mobile clinic staff. Clinic connection performance has improved, and the ability to print from the electronic medical record has streamlined clinic operation.

Review for Autobahn Automotive
Luis T. on 07/03/2012
"never again"
took my car in due to coolant leak. instead of checking out the full scope of the issue he only replaced a radiator hose, for $300 i might add. 2 days later my car overheats, thermostat housing and sensor need to get repaced along with radiator fan. Wish he had really diagnosed my problem instead of taking the easy way out for $300. what a waste of $ that was. never again!
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
Service Date: 06/26/2012
Review Created: 07/03/2012 01:37 PM
Erin D. at Autobahn Automotive responded on 07/05/2012
This car was towed in to Autobahn with a massive coolant leak. We replaced the thermostat outlet flange and seals (2) which repaired the excessive coolant leak. The customer did not want us to fill the system with the antifreeze we stock and only authorized us to fill the system with water and a half jug of Kroger antifreeze the customer had in his back seat. The gentleman also stressed to us he had an extremely tight budget. The following few days after this repair was completed and delivered, the outside air temperature shot into the low hundreds across the southeast US. Unfortunately the failure referenced in this customers low rating occurred on the car at this point. We asked him to return the car to us so we could examine our work as well as see what other issues occurred with the car. But he never returned and only could offer this review. We of course contacted this customer immediately after reading his review to discuss his dissatisfaction.
